Statement From Rocky Mountain National Park Superintendent On Last Friday’s Air Ambulance Tragedy In Frisco, CO Air ambulances play a critical role in life-saving missions in Rocky Mountain National Park. Numerous park visitors have survived injuries sustained in the park due to the excellent care provided by crew members such as the three individuals involved in the recent tragic incident in Frisco, Colorado.

Rocky Mountain National Park staff ’s respect and admiration for the air ambulance crews we work with runs extremely deep. Our appreciation and esteem go to Pilot Patrick Mahany and our thoughts and prayers are with his family, colleagues and friends. Our heartfelt thoughts are also with the two remaining flight crew members, who suffered serious injuries, and their families.

Vaughn Baker, Rocky Mountain National Park Superintendent

Thanks From RiverPlace In the past few days we have seen the best and "not-so-good" nature of some folks in or visiting our town. We are RiverPlace," a community living room near the post office, open everyday, serving the people in downtown Estes Park.

On the 4th of July, someone stole our outside seating. Disappointed? Yes! Since news of the theft has gotten around, we have had very generous offers from neighbors and businesses to replace them. We are indeed grateful and blessed to be part of this community.

Thanks to all who make this town the special place it is.

RiverPlace Staff and friends

A Day In The Life Of A Police Officer Have you ever wondered what goes on around town while you're home sleeping, or enjoying a little quiet family time, on vacation, or just generally relaxing in the summer sun? One thing you can count on no matter the time of day -- your Estes Park police officers are on patrol, actively protecting Estes Park residents, their property and the community. Whether you hear them or not, police officers are patrolling neighborhoods late at night and in the early hours of the morning. They can be found checking the doors of businesses, schools, churches or other buildings around town to ensure they are locked up and secured from intruders. They are checking alleyways and other dark, unlit areas to make their presence known and watch for suspicious activity. They are there to investigate those strange noises in the night and shadows around the corner.

These officers make efforts most people are afraid to make, and they do so with a sense of pride in their duties to protect you. They may even risk their lives to keep you safe and comfortable in your neighborhoods or workplace.

Let me give you a rundown of a typical day for a patrol officer. An officer’s shift, whether it begins at night or during the day, starts with reviewing reports and incidents from earlier shifts. It involves reviewing and responding to communications from fellow officers and citizens, reading reports, teletypes or informational safety and intelligence bulletins from state and national law enforcement agencies.

Some days involve studying case law, training bulletins and department policies.

Your police officers must stay current with issues impacting the Town of Estes Park residents and visitors, as their days may involve calls for service, issues or concerns community-wide. Overall, it's an officer’s job to stay informed about not only what's going on within the Estes Valley but nationwide. National issues and security have a direct impact on law enforcement in every community, including Estes Park.

Next, it's equally important for the officer to ensure all equipment is in good working order.

This equipment includes the 15 to 20 extra pounds of gear officers wear along with a uniform. Technology drives the officer’s need to be proficient using computers, cameras, radars and radios – all of which are all installed in patrol cars. A common challenge for any law enforcement agency is fitting all necessary equipment inside the patrol car, while protecting officers’ safety.

Estes Park Police officers are responsible for patrolling all of Estes Park, within town limits, at all hours of the day, 365 days each year. They are on the lookout for public safety concerns, traffic safety violations and active warrants. They answer citizens’ questions, help provide resources, and conduct welfare and vacation checks at residents’ homes upon request.

As you may suspect, patrol activities vary depending on the time of year, time of week and time of day. Special events, as well as rain, wind and snow all result in a busy day for a patrol officer. On a busy day in town, an officer may respond to dozens of calls during a shift, in addition to patrolling the community. On occasion, we may be asked to assist other law enforcement agencies, such as Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado Parks and Wildlife or Colorado State Patrol. We’re also available to assist with EMS and fire calls, when needed.

The bottom line is -- Estes Park police officers are here at all hours to provide you the best of service. Officers are ready to respond when you need them most.

When you need help and you’re not sure where to turn, call the police department.

Our staff will do all we can to help and provide the resources you need. You can reach us any time of day at 970-586-4000.

Always call 9-1-1 in an emergency.

Public Input Requested As Town Plans Ahead For The Fall River Trail Extension The Town of Estes Park is studying potential trail alignments and designs as it plans for the future of the Fall River Trail.

Residents and businesses along Fall River, and anyone interested in learning more and providing feedback on the trail project, are invited to two upcoming public events. A Fall River residents and stakeholders meeting will take place July 22 at 5:30 p.m. at United Methodist Church, 1509 Fish Hatchery Rd. Or interested individuals can drop by a project booth July 23 between 4:30 and 7 p.m. in Bond Park, downtown Estes Park. Participants will be asked to provide feedback on general trail design concepts and potential alignments. Meeting materials and opportunities for comment will also be available from July 24 through August 7 through the project website at www.estes.org/fallrivertrail.

Considering public input, a preferred alignment will be selected in early fall of 2015. Preliminary design of the selected alignment will be completed by the end of 2015 and final design will be completed in 2016. The current study and design process are funded by a grant awarded to the Town of Estes Park, after a competitive process, through the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks Program of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

There is no schedule for construction at this time. The trail will be constructed as

funding is identified.

When construction funding is secured, the Town of Estes Park proposes to construct an eight- foot wide, approximately 2.5-mile concrete extension of the Fall River multi-use trail that will connect the existing trail, near Castle Mountain Lodge, to Rocky Mountain National Park. East of Fish Hatchery Road, the new trail would likely be located along the south side of Fall River Road. West of Fish Hatchery Road, trail locations along the south side of Fall River Road, and along Fish Hatchery Road will be considered.

For more information on the project, visit www.estes.org/fallrivertrail or call the Town of Estes Park Public Works Department at 970-577-3587. Written comments may be mailed to Town of Estes Park Public Works, RE: Fall River Trail, P.O. Box 1200, Estes Park, CO 80517 or emailed to jimber@estes.org. Comments must be received or postmarked by August 7, 2015 and include name, organization (if applicable), address, and email address.

Baldpate Summer Enchanted Evening Program Features Bird Expert Scott Rashid Join us at The Baldpate Inn on July 15th at 7:00 p.m. for, “Owls of the Estes Valley and Rocky Mountain National Park,” presented by Scott Rashid.

Author, artist, and bird researcher; Scott Rashid has been researching birds of prey, in Wisconsin and here in Northern Colorado for more than 30 years. Since moving to Colorado in the late 1990s Scott has researched several species of owls including all of the species found here in the Estes Valley and RMNP. Scott’s main interest is the four species of small owls that reside

here in the Estes Valley and RMNP. These species include the Northern Pygmy-Owl, Northern Saw-whet Owl, Flammulated Owl and the Boreal Owl. Scott’s primary species of study however, is the diminutive Northern PygmyOwl. This seven inch predator is capable of capturing, killing and carrying off birds and animals larger than itself.

In Scott’s first Book “Small Mountain Owls” he details the natural history of these four species of small owls.

Scott’s second book “The Great Horned Owl an in-depth Study” you can read all

about the natural history of this powerful predator.

This free information session is part of our Summer Enchanted Evenings series that runs from June through September. Our Wednesday evening series is part history, part natural history, and part show & tell. Topics will range from history to hiking. Check out our website at BaldpateInn.com or call us at 970-586-6151 for further information and for other Summer Enchanted Evening events all summer long. We also invite you to make reservations for dinner to enjoy our homemade soup and salad buffet before our enchanted evenings begin!

International Aviation Club Meeting July 14

The Estes Park Internationale Aviation Club will hold its next meeting on July 14, 2015, in the Hondius Room of the Estes Park Library beginning at 6:30 p.m. The speaker for this meeting will be Cully Culwell, whose involvement in aviation has been wide spread and has involved flying in areas around the world, while logging just under 10,000 flying hours. The meeting is open to the public and all are welcome.

Cully and Marilyn's (wife) subject for the Aviation Club meeting will be about flying their airplane around most of the free world, starting in 1987 when they flew to Alaska. The next summer they met their 20 foot shipping container at Nairobi's general aviation airport and put the plane back together. The next eight weeks were spent touring Kenya and Tanzania, staying at bush camps that had nearby grass strips.

In 1989 they met the plane at the Tyabb Flying Club field south of Melbourne,

Australia. The next year they toured New Zealand, then to Durban, South Africa, then Chile. After doing the southern part of South America, they gave the container to the flying club at Vina Del Mar and left the plane in their hangar there. They came back in 1993 and made a two month trip flying the plane from Chile to Dallas. In 1998 they bought another container and shipped the plane to Esbjerg, Denmark.

The next five years the plane stayed together, with them keeping it in flying club hangars when they returned to the states.

Cully and Marilyn flew all over Europe, and even behind what had been the Iron Curtain. At that time there was almost nothing going on in aviation in the Eastern Block countries.

Again, all are welcome to come to the Estes Valley Library Hondius Room at 6:30 p.m. on July 14, 2015, to experience what promises to be an amazing story of private flying all over the world.

The Town of Estes Park Events Department and Lisa VonBargen are proud to announce the new "AIR" (Artists In Residence) Concert Series at Performance Park Amphitheater. This series will feature the incredible talent of our residents and introduce them to you.

down in Dallas, Texas. Between teaching, writing, and playing, Fox has enjoyed a musical career spanning more than 35 years.

In 1991 the Yamaha corporation signed Fox to be a trombone clinician, which he continues today. Since then he has performed clinics and judged in the Southwest and Midwest regions. At the same time, Belwin Mills company published Curtis’ “The Art of Doodul Tonguing” with the encouragement and guidance from Mike Purdy.

As a player, Fox played freelance trombone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as well as the Montreux Jazz Festival, with groups of all musical styles: Jazz, Rock, Salsa, Church, and even the Blues Brothers! Last year, he was in his 12th year playing in the celebrated Dallas Jazz Orchestra. Fox has also toured extensively with Mike Vax’s Stan Kenton Alumni Orchestra, and has played with music legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, Carl Fontana, Jimmy Darren, Ray Charles, Franke Valli and comedian Milton Berle. Curtis has a beautiful family, living with his multi-talented wife Amy and their grown children Charles, (his wife) Melissa, and their daughter Emily.

epnews.com One Sunday morning back in 2011 I walked into the library at the Community Church of the Rockies to join a group of “faith traveling partners.” The class we were attending was called Journeys, and its participants came from far and wide: Protestants, Catholics, Bahá'í, agnostics, Jews, former pastors, current pastors, humanists and atheists. We were there because we had questions and were looking to explore them with other like-minded seekers, knowing we would not go home with answers. What we found was assurance that questioning is healthy, it leads to growth, and truly, nobody really knows. Either that, or the answer is 42. (Wendell Berry’s description of what went on in Journeys class is apt: “The mind that is not baffled is not employed.

The impeded stream is the one that sings.”)

I was a former Catholic, had reared my stepdaughters in the Missouri Synod Lutheran church, and was now in pursuit of what would bring wholeness to the spirit repressed within, denied for many years. (No disrespect intended toward those who are fulfilled by these churches.)

That Sunday four years ago, I found what I was looking for. I was surrounded by people who presented new ideas to contemplate and who accepted my thoughts and opinions. I was wrapped in the warmth of a group of really bright, spirit-filled souls who encouraged each person on his/her journey no matter how similar or different it was from his/her own. I was home.

These Sunday morning gatherings have been tactfully and adroitly facilitated by Marv Gee for the past 10 years, and now he is stepping down from his position as the honorable patriarch of Estes Park’s Journeys class. His retirement is well deserved. To pay homage to Marv and his life partner, Char, the class presented him with the following proclamation: WHEREAS Marv and Char Gee have given 10 years of outstanding leadership in an adult survey of current theological scholarship, and WHEREAS Marv Gee introduced the class to the special spiritual greeting, “Namaste; may the spirit in me bow to the spirit in you,” and WHEREAS Char provided a warm welcome to all attenders and set up special chair locations to meet the needs of participants, and WHEREAS Marv opened the class with bumper sticker thoughts, amazing jokes, apt quotations from various religious leaders, current religious news, and WHEREAS Marv led discussions with equanimity and grace without debate or judgment, and WHEREAS Marv created a safe environment for study and discussion, and WHEREAS Marv has brought together people of many different faiths and created an atmosphere where they may continue their faith journey, THEREFORE the faith traveling partners of the Journeys class, for the Gees dedication and faithful service to the class and ad-

vancement of religious literacy, have provided a [substantial monetary] gift to the Robert W. Fund Donor’s Council of Westar Institute in their honor.

[Westar is based in Salem, Oregon. Currently, Westar scholars are conducting seminars on the origins of the Christian tradition and God and the human future. Westar is not affiliated with any religious institution or denomination and does not advocate a particular theological point of view.]

The proclamation was read aloud to the Gees a couple of Sundays ago by Brad Rohwer, which inspired a resounding standing ovation. In his own right, Brad has been a significant contributor to class discussions and a wealth of Biblical knowledge. The Journeys class is not only losing Marv as facilitator and Char as chief greeter and hugger, but Brad and his lovely wife Mary Sue are leaving us as well. The Rohwers are moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan to be near their kids and grandkids. Who can blame them?

Fellow faith traveling partners will miss Brad and Mary Sue’s kindness, their unique ability to make each of us feel important and valued, and their grasp of religious history.

Their sanguine presence in Journeys class and in Estes Park has been far-reaching and meaningful.

With the loss of these two remarkable couples, the Journeys class is saddened. Yet we know these changes are a part of the cycle of humanity and so they are embraced. Here is a story Marv shared several years ago that seems fitting today: “This story is about perspective and gratitude. A young lad from a remote tribe collected some water in his leather canteen and took it to his tribal elder after a four-day hike. The elder took a drink and smiled deeply, thanking the young man for the sweet water. The elder then gave the canteen to another young lad who took a swig and immediately spat out the water. It was putrid.

The boy said to the elder, ‘That water was foul. Why did you say you liked it?’

The elder replied, ‘You tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was just the container for an act of kindness and nothing could be sweeter.’”

As only Marv can, he applied the story to our daily lives: “Each time we get together, Journeys Class gives us a taste of the gift – the gift of being present to each other; the gift of being alive and awake, listening, respecting, questing, gaining insight and maturing in our faith and in our relationship to each other as evolving Christians in the world.

Our personal presence, in the container of who we are, becomes a present – a gift to the other.”

To Marv and Char and Brad and Mary Sue, gifts to many of us, we say Namaste.

Rocky Mountain Brassworks To Play In Performance Park July 18 Brass bands date back to the early 19th Century and the Industrial Revolution and have become one of the world's most widespread forms of amateur musical performance. Today there are several hundred brass bands in North America and the genre is making a valuable and unique contribution to the rich musical heritage of America.

Rocky Mountain Brassworks was founded in 1978 and consists of approximately 35 members from various Front Range communities playing brass and percussion instruments. Most notable is the absence of any woodwinds. Their repertoire is very flexible, consisting of original works, orchestral transcriptions, marches, Broadway show tunes, hymns

and novelty numbers.

Doug Harris has been the conductor for this dynamic ensemble for 5-years and is an original performing member.

Doug is a retired music instructor and taught in the Denver-Metro area for 34years having received his BA in music education from the University of Northern Colorado and his Masters Degree from the American Band College at Southern Oregon University.

Rocky Mountain Brassworks will be at Performance Park, Saturday, 18 July, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Their performance is sponsored by Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies, produced by Tom Oates Premiere and will be the sixth season they have performed for the Guild.

Well July 4th, the rodeo parade and all of my company has gone and faded into happy memories. Of course we could have used a bit nicer weather but then it would be really hot and dry and we would move into fire danger season…we can’t have everything perfect in our little paradise.

Chris, wife Dee Dee, and the children Bridgette, Nikki and Allison spent a week and had a good time. They played with their cousins, Mike and Marie’s Nathan and Lexie, went to the rodeo, helped at my 4th of July gathering and just enjoyed Estes Park. Greg and Cecelia also joined in some of the gatherings. All in all, we had a grand time but they have gone now and I will pick up my life where I left it for awhile.

We had a lot of food left from the 4th and I had to become creative to use some of it, like in meat sauce for pasta.

Living alone, I had to get in the cooking for the “mob” mode while they were here. I teased my daughter-in-law about all the toilet paper we went through and she laughed.

I am just about filled to the brim with all of the heavy snack food, hot dogs, hamburgers etc. I would take a guess

that most of y’all are as well. I have been saving the following recipe for just such a time. Diane Y. had given it to me a while back so now is the perfect time for me to use it. I really liked it and I hope that you do as well.

She tells me it is an old recipe but those always seem the best.

Lemon Gelatin Salad One small pkg. lemon gelatin (not the sugarless kind or you’ll need to convert the whole recipe) 1 cup hot water 1 cup sour cream ½ cup coconut 1/3 cup chopped nuts 9 oz. crushed pineapple Dissolve the gelatin into the hot water.

Let stand 30 minutes to cool and be sure it is all dissolved. Blend in the sour cream until well mixed. Add nuts, coconut and pineapple. Pour into a mold or pan and chill until firm. Serve on a bed of lettuce (if you want). A square of this is light and refreshing.

Relocating The Beavers In Scott Ponds

Adult Beaver at Scott Ponds

The members of the beaver family at Scott Ponds in Carriage Hills are the survivors of the 2013 flood. Before the flood, they resided in a beautiful habitat on Fish Creek Road and delighted many guests and residents.

The dams, ponds and lodges they made along Fish Creek Road were destroyed by the flood waters, and they eked out a living in very poor habitat in Scott Ponds.

A group of passionate people in Estes

Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Sherri Tippie of Wildlife 2000, a professional live trapper and beaver relocator, was hired by the volunteers.

Volunteers helped with setting live traps and monitoring them many hours during the day and night for seven days.

The female and male parents were live trapped along with the two year old, the one year old and the five week old baby (kit). Beavers mate for life and their family members stay together until the

Sherri Tippie

Park became concerned for their future when very few willows were left, and there were plans to work on the dams at Scott Ponds.

With the permission of the Town of the Estes Park, The Public Works Department, Estes Park Police Department and

young at two years of age disperse to find a mate and new habitat. It is unusual for a two year old to remain with their family as in this case which indicates that there was no suitable habitat in the vicinity of Scott Ponds. Fish Creek sustained much damage during the

flood and became an inhospitable area for beavers to travel downstream especially when sewer lines were being installed and massive equipment was being used to aid in its restoration.

As each family member was live trapped, he/she was placed in a temporary cage in Denver until all family members could be trapped and released together. When the baby (kit) was reunited with the parents in Denver, the baby whined and ran between the father and mother and all over them and finally rested peacefully on top of one of the siblings.

Sherri Tippie who has been live trapping and relocating beavers for 26 years was able to find a magnificent relocation site in southwestern Colorado. One of the volunteers from Estes Park accompanied Sherri Tippie and the five beavers to their new home (seven hours one way) and produced a video of their release into their new home.

When the destination was reached, there was a terrible thunderstorm with lightening and hail. The beavers were carefully released from their cages and eagerly swam into the lake surrounded by beautiful aspens. The landowners expressed a lot of excitement over the new arrivals and are aware of the benefits of beavers such as slowing flood waters, creating wetlands, preventing soil erosion, promoting biodiversity, improving water quality and quantity and providing fish and wildlife habitat.

I want to thank the Estes Park volun-

Page 15

teers who I worked with for such a positive outcome: Dave Born, Johanna Darden, Angelina Diaz, Elena Diaz, Thomas Gootz, Anita Prinzmetal, Tom Street, Corinne Thomas, and last but not least Sherri Tippie of Wildlife 2000! Thank you to the neighbors who gave us reports on the beavers in Scott Ponds.

Please see our article in the future concerning ways to co-exist with these amazing animals!

We are in great need for tax deductible donations to Wildlife 2000 to pay for the valuable and critical services of Sherri Tippie that made this all possible. Donations amounting to $1,430 have been given so far towards the total bill of $3,155. We still need to raise $1,725 to pay the remainder of the bill. We would like to publish the names of the donors with their permission in future newspaper articles.

Sherri Tippie is strictly a beaver relocator who does not kill beavers unlike many other trappers in the state who do kill them.

Checks should be made out to Wildlife 2000 and sent to: Susan Wolf 1637 Black Squirrel Drive Estes Park, CO 80517 Thank you all for caring!

If you have any questions, please call me at 970-586-3510 or email me at wildlands3@gmail.com.

Plan Ahead When Visiting Rocky Mountain National Park Rocky Mountain National Park is a popular destination. This year the park is celebrating its centennial. Over the last 100 years, the reasons people visit are the same; to experience nature, to seek solitude, to enjoy scenic grandeur, to watch wildlife, and to partake in outstanding recreational activities.

At the end of May, year to date visitation was up 20 percent over last year when the park received record visitation of 3.4 million. The trend of increased visitation has continued in June as well.

June figures should be released by next week. Rocky was the fifth most visited national park in 2014. The park’s highest visitation is during the summer and on fall weekends.

Plan ahead for a more enjoyable visit to Rocky! In the summer, the busiest times in the park are between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

• Hike early or hike late • Check the weather forecast before you arrive at the park to better plan your day and destinations. If you plan to hike later in the day, it is critical that you know the weather forecast for the elevation of your destination.

• Carpool • Take advantage of the park shuttle • Trailhead parking lots fill early in the day: Glacier Gorge Trailhead by 7:00 a.m.

Bear Lake Trailhead by 8:30 a.m.

Park & Ride by 10:30 a.m.

Wild Basin Corridor by 10:30 a.m.

• The Alpine Visitor Center parking lot is busy between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• More than eighty percent of park visitors arrive through the east entrances of the park • Camping is popular in the park. Reserve a campsite up to six months before your visit. The two first come, first served campgrounds fill up as well. Timber Creek Campground fills up last.

• In September, visitation is 50 percent higher on weekends than weekdays Two new webcams are now operating on the Beaver Meadows Entrance and Fall River Entrance. The webcams face east, depicting the flow of vehicles entering the park, www.nps.gov/romo/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm Park staff are working with the Town of Estes Park and Colorado Department of Transportation to operate two new variable message signs on US 34 and US 36 encouraging visitors to select an east side park entrance based on their destination.

If visitors have purchased an annual pass to Rocky Mountain National Park, the Beaver Meadows entrance has a fast pass lane. The Grand Lake entrance also has a fast pass lane.

Centennial Science Behind The Scenery Programs Continue July 9 and 16 At RMNP Numerous scientists will be presenting as part of the Centennial Science Behind The Scenery Programs at Rocky Mountain National Park. This series of programs highlights scientific activity and learning in the park. Each week a different scientist conducting research in the park will share their experiences and discoveries. The programs will be held on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and are free and open to the public.

This Thursday, July 9, at 7:30 p.m. join Ben Lawhon who is the Education Director of Leave No Trace, Center for Outdoor Ethics. Leave No Trace is the most prevalent minimum-impact visitor education program in use in parks and protected areas in the U.S. The intent of the program is to teach people of all ages how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly.

Everyone benefits when we practice Leave No Trace ethics. It is important to share how those practices are effective at reducing impacts. This study examined variables thought to influence future

Leave No Trace behavior in park visitors.

Results of the study indicate that educational efforts make a difference to minimize impacts.

Next Thursday, July 16, at 7:30 p.m. join Jeremy White as he presents Protecting Night Sky Resources in U.S. National Parks and Beyond. Jeremy is a Physical Scientist with the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division of the National Park Service. For the last four years, he has been collecting night sky measurements in national parks across the country. The night sky can be one of the most awe-inspiring views we will ever experience. But the night sky and natural darkness are easily damaged and in many places are becoming lost in the glow of artificial lights. Jeremy will be discussing the ongoing research of the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division.

For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please call the park’s information office at (970) 5861206.

Release Of Prospectus For Instruction And Guide Services In Technical Mountaineering At RMNP Rocky Mountain National Park is implementing the final phase of its Commercial Services Strategy for guided commercial climbing in the park. Park staff have released a prospectus for up to six concession contracts for Instruction and Guide Services in Technical Mountaineering. One of the goals of the Commercial Services Strategy was to create more choices in guided climbing and technical mountaineering commercial services for park visitors. Awarding contracts to separate entities will create diverse opportunities for the public to select from a variety of possible mountaineering trips; reflecting different prices, styles, and program orientation.

The visitor services to be provided under the terms of the new Concession Contracts are essentially the same as those required and authorized by the ex-

isting Concession Contract. All of the contracts will authorize the same services and scope of use.

The prospectus materials and further details can be found at: http://concessions.nps.gov/romo0XX-16.htm or a printed version can be purchased. Proposals must be received by 4 p.m. on August 25, 2015.

Proposals can be mailed to: National Park Service Intermountain Region Attn: Chief of Concessions, 12795 W. Alameda Parkway, Lakewood, CO 80228 An informational meeting on the prospectus and prospectus process will be held on July 8, 2015, at 2 p.m., at the Estes Park Museum located at 200 4th Street, in Estes Park.

For any questions about the prospectus and the prospectus process, please contact the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Canada Thistle • Small (½ to ¾ inch diameter) pink and purple flowers, rarely white • Several flowers at stem ends • Perennial with deep and lateral roots; plants grow in patches connected by roots • Smooth stems with lobed, spine-tipped leaves • Plants grow 1-4 ft tall

Canada Thistle is an invasive plant that spreads aggressively by roots and seeds. The plants prefer to grow in moister and shady areas. Canada Thistle can be seen along Highway 7, and on many streets in Estes Park. The scientific name for Canada Thistle is Cirsium arvense. PLEASE leave the native Wavyleaf Thistle (Cirsium undulatum) which has short, wooly hairs on the stems and bottoms of leaves that gives the plant a gray cast. If you let this plant grow, disturbance is avoided and pollinators have flowers to visit!

PREVENTION Canada Thistle is a deep- and lateral-rooted perennial. Therefore, mechanical removal requires cutting plants at the bases, and disposing of flowering heads for several years. Canada Thistle responds to pulling by growing more plants in response to disturbance.

Tunnel Tiles To Be Funded Through Mural Sponsorship

A community art project everybody in Estes Park has seen, and many contributed to, is poised to enter a new phase, with new art and new community participation. A creative fundraising model developed by Estes Park’s art teachers has the potential to bring new art to the tunnel under Highway 36 near Kind Coffee.

The tunnel is decorated with hundreds of colorful, hand-painted tiles. That project was a labor of love for Eagle Rock High School art teacher Cynthia Elkins, who wanted to add something colorful and happy to a new underpass tunnel that was functional but not inviting. The Town Board at the time was concerned that any public art in that location be durable. Being an art teacher, Ms. Elkins thought of

the tile murals of Pompeii, which survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and are still beautiful today. The Estes Park tunnel tiles were prepared using the same majolica process used by artisans in Pompeii two thousand years ago.

The original project, which took place in 2005-06, was largely sponsored by Eagle Rock High School as part of Denverbased Peace Jam’ annual action plan. It was organized around the idea of community unity, with the idea of bringing Eagle Rock students into the Estes Park community, in partnership with students at the Estes Park High School. Groups of teens visited venues throughout town, bearing paints and boxes of tiles, and in-

vited community members of all ages to contribute their part to the wall. As Ms. Elkins remembers, the youngest tile painter was a six-month old who had some adult help, and the oldest was 98 years old.

Funding for the project, largely from generous local sources, ran out before installation of all the tiles could be completed. There are several boxes of decorated tiles that never got installed during the 2006 effort, and space in and at each end of the tunnel for many more to be added besides.

The art teachers at the Estes Park Schools, including Ms. Elkins at Eagle Rock, hope to offer a new generation of students at the elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as other community members and summer visitors, the opportunity to add their own small piece to the tunnel tile mosaic.

To do that, they recently launched an innovative fundraiser. Helped by local art teacher Kristen Hill, middle school art students in Nicole Rische’s art classes having been working in class to create spectacular multipanel murals. Two of them now decorate the middle school lunch room, sponsored by Karla DuBois at Ed’s Cantina. The Estes Park Medical Group also displays murals, which can be seen in the pediatric hallway and rooms in the clinic.

"Painting a wall mural is a great way to brighten up a wall in an exam room or waiting area to make it more patient friendly particularly for younger children. Estes Park Medical Center and Estes Park Medical Group were pleased to partner with the middle school to provide kids with a relevant, creative project that will build relationships and bolster school and community spirit," said Karen Nicholson, Vice President of Professional Services. "In addition, it is

heartwarming to see the kids visit our pediatricians and find the mural they helped create.

There is such a feeling of pride from both the child and the parent."

The murals are reproductions of classic works of art, such as Van Gogh’s Starry Night and The Mulberry Tree, Hokusai’s Great Wave Off Kanagawa. The project starts with a poster. The teacher cuts it up into pieces depending upon the number of students in the class—Starry Night, for example, was divided into 12 pieces. Each student gets a piece of the poster. They use a type of perspective frame—a tool Van Gogh famously used in his work—to translate their own small piece of poster accurately onto a larger canvas. After sketching each piece onto the canvas, the kids paint in their work with acrylic paint.

The pieces are put back together again on the wall, with truly beautiful results.

This project allows for several different levels of art education, including handson techniques and materials as well as art history and appreciation. And it’s fun.

The students love seeing their individual pieces put together into a larger puzzle, and are excited to have the opportunity to help their school and their community. "Not only can you figure out things about yourself, but also about others by looking at their art. Art is almost like a secret language for artists," said Paulina Bernal, a 7th grade student at Estes Park Middle School.

Completed murals can be seen at the Estes Park Middle School lunchroom and the Estes Park Medical Group. Anyone interested in sponsoring a mural should contact Nicole Rische at nicole_rische@psdr3.k12.co.us.

Funds raised will be used to support resurrection of the tunnel tile project.

The tiles that were never installed will finally get their place on the wall, while a whole new generation of Estes Park residents, including kids at the schools, will add their own pieces. This will allow the kids of Estes Park to help beautify their community, using materials they helped to get themselves.

ARE YOU AN ‘EVERYDAY HERO’?

Perhaps you have seen, even been touched, as I was, by the movie: ‘Hero’. In the movie, Bernie LaPlante is a man who is down on his luck, been divorced by his wife, lost custody of his son, and has lost all credibility with those who know him . He witnesses an airplane crash and, without thinking, he runs to the burning plane and drags the people to safety, losing one shoe in the process. After his heroic rescues He leaves the crash site to ponder what to do next. As people search for the ‘hero’ to thank for saving their lives, another man steps in and takes the credit…while Bernie stands by. However, one rescued woman senses that Bernie was the hero and tries to prove it. She is finally satisfied when she says, as she turns away from him for probably the last time, “Thank you for saving my life!” and he responds, “You’re welcome!” Other than that he still receives little credit for his heroism, except from his son, whom he finally tells about the crash and the rescue in detail. The movie ends with another daring rescue needed and, as his son fastens his eyes on him, Bernie says, “Okay, for Pete’s sake, watch my shoes!” as he goes to the rescue of a small child who fell into a wild animal cage.

I thought of this movie when I received an email from dear friend who has a summer cabin down the canyon. She wrote, “When I heard this neat story, I thought of you and your times in McDonalds.” She went on to share the story of a woman who was waiting to order her family’s meal when she noticed many people around her moving away. She turned and noticed two rather dirty homeless men who had entered, standing nearby, obviously brought in by the cold. One of them, with the ‘bluest eyes’ she had ever seen smiled, at her and began counting their coins to see what they could afford. The second man was obviously a mentally challenged person who was being tended to by his friend. The man finally ordered, “Two coffees, Miss.” handing her nearly all the coins he had. He smiled as he walked by the woman telling the story and she, touched by their plight, reached out and embraced him. He smiled again and the two men went to their table. She went to the counter and ordered two extra breakfasts and took them to the two men’s table. They said, ‘Thanks!’ with tears in their eyes. She, with tears in hers, said, “God made me want to do this. You are very welcome.”

The friend who sent the email said, “I suppose you witness things like this at McDonalds all the time!” How would you have responded to her comment? Probably, like me, you might say, “Not very often!”

However, my tune changed a couple of days later when, as I struggled with a push mower trying with limited success to cut the tall grasses that had grown up in my ‘massive’ yard, I looked up and there, sitting on his riding mower, with a big smile on his face, was someone I see at McDonalds often. He said, “I saw you from my place on the hill and decided you could use a little help.” With that he commenced to mow down the bulk of the grasses, while I tackled the little clumps that were within the capability of my little machine. When he finished the mowing he said, “I’ll be back tomorrow with my weed whacker and bring some weed killer for some of those weeds I see in your yard.” And he did just that. Suddenly Barb Toler’s email made so much sense to me. I thought, “I may not see the ‘random acts of kindness’ taking place right in the restaurant, but I’m convinced that there are many such ‘everyday heroes’ like the plane occupants and the two homeless men and I encountered. I hope that you and I will be one of them.

Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters Present RMNP Centennial Celebration

“Autumn Enchantment” by Stephen Datz Paintings from the Centennial Year Art Show & Sale August 13 – 16, 2015, Hosted by The Stanley Hotel.

Opening Reception Thursday, August 13, 6-8 p.m.

The Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters (RMPAP), in partnership with Rocky Mountain National Park and The Rocky Mountain Conservancy, will hold a special art show and sale August 13-16, 2015, at the historic Stanley Hotel Concert Hall. This event is the companion exhibition to last fall’s Centennial Celebration paint-out and show, and is part of the Rocky Mountain National Park Centennial, which is a year long commemoration and celebration of RMNP’s first century as one of the country’s singular and outstanding national parks. The Centennial runs from September 4, 2014 to September 4, 2015.

This event gathers both studio and plein air paintings from 22 nationally recognized professional artists hailing

from all over the U.S. The works they send will all have been created during RMNP’s Centennial Year and will all feature the Park as their subject matter.

Each painting will also be accompanied by a commemorative certificate, signed

by RMNP Superintendent Vaughn Baker, attesting to its provenance as part of the Park’s Centennial.

The new works created will be displayed at the Stanley Hotel Concert Hall starting Thursday, August 13 at 6 p.m. A Gala Reception will be held at 6 p.m. that evening. The show will run through Sunday, August 16 at 3 p.m.

Other event activities will include: - A special ticketed Patron Preview of the show will be offered from 5-6 p.m. on Thursday, August 13. Tickets are $100 and are available by calling the Rocky Mountain Conservancy at 970586-0108. Preview ticket holders will have a “first look” at the show and the opportunity to purchase show paintings before they are available to the general

public. $80 of the ticket price is applied toward the purchase of a painting, and each patron will be acknowledged with a card and ribbon hung next to their chosen painting.

- A “Mentoring Paint Out” will be held at Sprague Lake on Friday, August 14 from 9 - 11 a.m. Event artists will be encouraging and advising local kids as they create paintings on location. Parents wishing to register their child must register in person at the Fall River Visitor Center between August 10-13. Participation is limited to 20 students aged 12-16. Materials will be provided for the students courtesy of Jerry’s Artarama Art Supplies in Fort Collins, CO. - Artist Demonstrations are scheduled for Saturday, August 15. The first will be from 9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. at the Fall River Visitor Center. The second will be at the Stanley Hotel from 4-6 p.m. The public is invited to come and get a glimpse of the artistic process in action. These are a great opportunity for people to get to interact with artists and chat with them as a painting takes shape.

A details and a complete schedule of events can be found at www.rmpap.org.

The Reception and Artist Demo’s are free and open to the public.

The event benefits the Rocky Moun-

tain Conservancy (RMC), with 39% of the proceeds from the sale of works at the show going to the purchase of a private inholding within the Park. The Rocky Mountain Conservancy is the nonprofit philanthropic partner to RMNP. Since 1985 it has raised more than $23 million to support special projects including trail construction, land and historic preservation, and education in the park.

“I’m really looking forward to presenting this show,” says RMPAP President Stephen C. Datz. “It is going to be a great, eclectic mix, showing the many facets of Rocky Mountain NP from all seasons during this Centennial year. It is also a great opportunity for collectors to see the larger studio paintings that result from our work in the field.”

RMPAP was formed in 2001 by a small group of artists intent on increasing public awareness and enthusiasm for plein air painting within the Rocky Mountain region and fostering camaraderie, friendship, and professional development among its member artists.

The group’s membership consists of 50 professional artists from all over North America.

Estes Park. Admission is $10.00, with proceeds going to Longs Peak Reunion 2015.

The lecture will be held at The Key Room inside The Baldpate Inn if inclement weather occurs.

Rooftop Rodeo Action Continues This Weekend The Rooftop Rodeo at the Stanley Park Fairgrounds is a show you don't want to miss.

Rodeo week began Monday, July 6th with the Rooftop Rodeo Parade in downtown Estes Park. The theme of the 2015 parade was “Wilderness, Wildlife, Wonder” in honor of Rocky Mountain National Park’s 100th Anniversary. This year local climber Tommy Caldwell was the Parade Marshall.

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.

The Rooftop Rodeo won the PRCA's Small Rodeo of the Year five times, has been nominated as one of it's Top Five Medium Rodeos in each of the last four years, and won the 2014 Mountain Circuit Medium Rodeo of the Year. The Rooftop Rodeo is known for its small town western hospitality and family-

Are You Going To The Library Benefit Dinner?

There’s a tradition at the Estes Valley Library - a tradition of philanthropy.

The community loves the library and the library loves the community. This year, the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation will continue their history of altruism and host the 19th Annual Benefit Dinner for the Library.

This year’s dinner will be amazing. The Friends & Foundation have invited best selling author Diane Mott Davidson, whose speaking skills are said to match her writing, to join us, in celebration of our library. I can’t wait!

I was asked if I wanted to “work” the

dinner or “attend” the dinner. I didn’t hesitate to say, “where ever needed.” I am excited to report that I will attend and enjoy this literary evening with all of you.

Diane Mott Davidson is the author of a series of culinary mysteries staring caterer/sleuth Goldy Schulz. If you know anything about cooking and baking, then you know it takes thought, care and precision to make something delicious. If you’re a sleuth (like all of us librarians) you also know that solving a mystery is a step-by-step process.

As a baker, a reader and a sleuth, this year’s Annual Benefit Dinner is the perfect match for my interests and I’m sure for yours as well.

Please join us for this special event and start - or continue - your own tradition of attending the Annual Library Benefit Dinner. To learn more about this event, please visit estesvalleylibrary.org or call to speak with a librarian at 970-586-8116.

The Weekend Genealogist: Delving Into Family History Genealogy is history on a personal scale. It satisfies a deep need to understand how we fit in the broader world.

Invest in learning about the history of your ancestors by participating in “The Weekend Genealogist” program at the Estes Valley Library. While fitting all the puzzle pieces together, you will learn much about history and about your ancestors in a very fun and rewarding way.

“The Weekend Genealogist” program, sponsored by the Estes Valley Library in partnership with The Estes Park Genealogical Society, will take place in the Hondius Community Room on Saturday, August 1st from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Registration is required for this free program.

The Estes Park Genealogical Society encourages all who have been intending to learn about genealogical research to start with this one day seminar where you will learn the basics of family history research from two well-credentialed specialists.

The morning session of the program is “Finding Primary and Secondary Records, Recording Those Results and Where to Learn More” and will be led by Patricia Johnson. Patricia regularly assists researchers at the Family History Center in Fort Collins and belongs to the Larimer County Genealogical Society (LCGS). She is the Registrar of the Fri-

day’s Council Tree Chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) in Windsor.

One of her favorite areas of research is the American Revolutionary War. Another favorite is finding female ancestors that have been lost to history. Patricia presents genealogical programs in Colorado and Wyoming.

The afternoon session of the program will include “Subscription Databases” and “Cemetery Research” with Carol Stetser. Carol is a regional speaker for many genealogical societies in Colorado and Wyoming and an LCGS class and workshop instructor. She also writes genealogy articles for the LCGS newsletter and 50 Plus Marketplace News. Carol has been featured several times on the LCGS’s Genealogy Quest TV series and also volunteers at the Old Town Library in Fort Collins on a monthly basis. In addition, she has been an indexer and arbitrator of over 39,640 records for this project. Besides holding several officer positions in LCGS, Carol is a member of the Friday’s Council Tree Chapter of the NSDAR in Windsor and the Swedish Genealogical Society in Denver.

THE RICH FLANERY TEAM “Preserving Ownership” eservingg the Dream of Home Ownership The Rich Flanery Team has a combined total of 80 plus years experience in finding our clients the right loan strategy.

By Cheryl Homan-Wendell

I was excited to read ‘Wheelmen,’ the book about Lance Armstrong and the doping scandal surrounding professional bicycling. Although I have never been a cycling fan, the man intrigues me, with both his physicality and his forceful personality.

He came to the attention of many with his defeat of testicular cancer and seven consecutive wins of the Tour de France. After all, everyone loves a winner.

The media storm hit in 2013, with headlines blaring that Armstrong and his team were guilty of doping. Many found it easy to judge him and his fellow riders, although the authors of ‘Wheelmen’ remind readers that doping, in one form or another, has been a part of the Tour de France since its beginning in 1903.

‘Wheelmen’ delves into the cult of celebrity that has only recently been connected with bicycle racing, and brings to vivid clarity how Armstrong used his charisma and powerful ego to help build that new persona around the sport.

American fans saw him as a hero, both on and off his bike, and the legend grew.

His cohorts and contemporaries saw a different side of the man, a calculating

bully who commandeered all of those around him.

The book also documents the splintering of the professional bicycling community because of the doping issue; that it was condoned until finally condemned. As more questions were raised by the media, popular opinion began to turn and the bicycle racing upper echelon were impelled to finally make serious, global-wide efforts to investigate the doping claims.

As Armstrong and the Postal team’s lies began to collapse under the strain, the world turned against him.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power. “It’s a compelling statement, especially when directed at Lance Armstrong. Is he a villain? Was he a hero?

Please join me to examine “Wheelmen: Lance Armstrong, The Tour de France, and the Greatest Sports Conspiracy Ever,” an event that is part of the Adult Summer Reading Program at the Estes Valley Library. Copies of the book are available at the library now, and registration is open for the discussion, which will be help on Wednesday, July 29 in the Wasson Room.

Religion And Philosophy Meeting On July 15 On Wednesday, July 15, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. in the Senior Center of Estes Park, the Religion and Philosophy Group will resume (somewhat) where we left off in our January meeting’s discussion of lifetransforming experiences as they are presented in William Deresiewicz’s book on education – specifically the reading of books.

Although starting with a major focus on book-reading at this month’s meeting, those attending the meeting will also be encouraged to share other examples of life-transforming experiences such as friendships, work, love, marriage, the rearing of children, losses (of various kinds), sickness, war, victimization, travel, religion, and even movies.

Having had our discussions “directed” and structured toward specific topics so much, this is an opportunity to know each other better. If anyone still has the

handout from January’s meeting (“Great Books” from Deresiewicz’s book), please bring it along to this month’s meeting.

The Religion and Philosophy Group meets on the third Wednesday of every month usually in the Senior Center. The name notwithstanding, the group has hosted and continues to welcome competent presentations on all kinds of contemporary, historical, and perennial issues. Presentations are free and open to people of all ages, persuasions, and eccentricities.

The Senior Center of Estes Park is located at 220 4th Street (next to the museum). Free coffee and tea are available.

The Senior Center offers a delicious lunch and welcomes attendees to partake.

For further information call Michael at 303-747-9351.

The History Of Fisheries In Rocky Mountain National Park

By: Maggie Poyant – Bailey Education Fellow

In Rocky Mountain National Park’s 100 year history of conservation and preservation, the management of park fisheries has a unique story. Early settlers introduced non-native species to waterways for sport fishing and now researchers, including Chris Kennedy, a fish biologist who has been studying the history of fisheries and fish ecology in Rocky Mountain National Park for over a decade, are working to return the park’s waters to their natural conditions. Kennedy’s latest research involves the taxonomical study of the rare cutthroat trout as related to its reintroduction and management in the park.

The Rocky Mountain Conservancy’s Field Institute has partnered with Kennedy for a one-time class glancing into fisheries history, management, and current research. On Saturday, July 18th, Kennedy will discuss his research and the park’s history pertaining to fishing at the Rocky Mountain Conservancy’s Field Institute followed by a trip into the field to explore important historic fishing sites and current areas of research and restoration on the east side of the Continental Divide. The future of Rocky Mountain National Park’s fisheries is tied tightly to the practices of the past, and will rely on present research, action, and stewardship to continue returning native populations to their former significance.

For more information on this class, instructor Chris Kennedy, or the many other classes offered by the Rocky Mountain Conservancy’s Field Institute, please visit the website at rmconservancy.org or contact The Field Institute at (970) 586-3262.

The Estes Park Woman's Club presented $2,000 for signage at the Glacier Basin Campground to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of RMNP and partnership with the Woman's Club. Last September 2014 Woman's Club members served as hostesses for the Centennial Opening Ceremony. This year on September 3 the Woman's Club members will serve again as hostesses for RMNP'S Closing Centennial event.

When RMNP initially opened 100 years ago September 4,1915 members of the Woman's Club were hostesses at that

time for the Opening Ceremony in Horseshoe Park. Woman's Club member, Mary Belle Sherman appeared with Governor Carlson, Congressman Taylor, F.O. Stanley, Enos A. Mills and other dignitaries. The EPWC was instrumental in building trails in the Park and initially worked to establish the RMNP Headquarters to be located in Estes Park. We invite visitors to the Park to stop by Lawn Lake Trailhead to view the sign commemorating the partnership between RMNP and the EPWC. Look up!

The view is beautiful.

12th Annual John Denver Tribute Concert Set For Labor Day Weekend

Brad Fitch and The TropiCowboy Band will present their twelfth annual John Denver Tribute Concert in Estes Park on Saturday, Sept. 5 at the YMCA of the Rockies’ Reusch Auditorium. This concert, featuring classic songs from the legendary Denver, will benefit the Estes Park Lions Club charities. Funds raised will go to organizations for the sight and hearing impaired, community social services and local scholarships.

“Part of the fun of this concert for me is hearing people in the audience sing along with us. John Denver’s music means so much to so many,” Fitch said. “We will be performing his best-known hits along

with some of his loved but lesser-known songs (for the true John Denver aficionados).”

“I am blessed to perform with an incredible band that interprets John Denver’s songs with both reverence and a whole lot of fun.” Fitch said. “I will be joined by renowned fiddler Johnny Neill, who’s been part of my band since 2006.

Estes Park Women’s Golf League Results For Tues. July 6 The morning dawned with overcast skies and a slight drizzle in the air. We all were asking ourselves will there be golf and do I want to even want to golf in this weather? Thirty-six ladies had signed up to golf. The rain stopped by tee time and twenty-three came out to golf, (13 had canceled). It turned out to be very nice golf weather, the sun attempted to break through and the temp. was just right with no wind. It started to drizzle again when most of us were just finishing the round. Because of weather, the play of the day was altered to the low net and low gross scores. The winner were: FLIGHT #1 Low Gross: Colleen Casey 87, Allison Smith 92 Low net: Marianne Casey 69, Ruth Moser 72 FLIGHT #2 Low Gross: Judi Cunningham 98 Low Net: Hulda Bachman 74 FLIGHT # 3 Low Gross: Marilyn Soby 103 Low Net: Debbie Paddock 78 FLIGHT #4 Low Gross: Charlene Hooyer 109, Bettie Tully 117 Low Net: Lillian Syzdlo 80, Johanna

Marian Ruth Pratt Koch November 6, 1915 – July 7, 2015 Ruth P. Koch, 99, of Loveland, Colorado, went to her heavenly home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, July 6, 2015. Ruth was born on November 6, 1915 in Crofton, Kentucky, to Everett Winfield and Emma C. Pratt. Baptized as a child, Ruth was confirmed on March 25, 1928 at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Memphis, Tennessee.

Ruth graduated from Memphis State Teachers College and received a teaching certificate in October, 1938. She achieved her Master’s Degree from Iowa State College in June 1941. While at Iowa State, Ruth met Arthur Koch, who fell head over heels for her. Following her graduation, Ruth relocated to New York City and was employed by McCall’s magazine as an Assistant Engineer, testing cooking appliances. Art followed her out east and they were married August 28, 1943. Art and Ruth relocated to Schenectady, New York, where Ruth worked for General Electric manufacturing electric parts for aircraft. Following the war, Ruth was a homemaker, and had four children, Arthur Richard, Jr., William Duane, M. Carol and Donald George. Art worked for General Electric for thirty six years, moving the family to Syracuse, Oklahoma City, back to Syracuse, Cavalier, North Dakota, Rancho Palos Verdes, California and back to Syracuse. Art and Ruth retired to rural Purdy, Missouri; and later adopted the Good Samaritan Society Loveland Village in Loveland, Colorado as their home.

While in the Syracuse area, Ruth and Art were charter members of Faith Lutheran Church in Cicero.

Ruth and Art were members of Messiah Lutheran in Oklahoma City, Our Savior Lutheran in Cavalier, North Dakota, St. John’s in Monett,

Missouri, and Immanuel Lutheran in Loveland, Colorado.

Ruth enjoyed Southern Cooking, shopping for great deals, Bridge and other card games except for Hearts, and a good novel. Ruth was a lifelong independent voter.

Ruth is survived by her children Arthur R. Koch, Jr. (Linda) of Wayland, Michigan; William D. Koch (Nancy), of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; M. Carol Rouch (Craig, deceased) of Estes Park, Colorado; and Donald G. Koch (Sharon) of Las Vegas, Nevada; eight grandchildren; Jennifer Black (Michael) of Bridgeport Massachusetts; Aurora Pongsema (Kirrk) of Queens, New York; Stephanie Koch (Jennifer Parkinson) of Spokane, Washington; Amber Stowe (Adam), Seth Rouch (Stephanie), Erin Walter (Kevin) of the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area; Sara Koch of Boise, Idaho, Emily Koch of Rochester, Minnesota and three great grandchildren.

Ruth was preceded in death by her husband of sixty-six years, Arthur Richard, six siblings; Sisters Flora Pratt, Lucille Barrett, and Helen Frerichs, and brothers William Edwin (Red), Richard Allen and Rolvin Winfield Pratt.

A memorial service will take place Saturday, July 11, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at Good Samaritan Village 2101 S. Garfield Ave. Loveland, CO. Memorial contributions may be made in care of the Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, Colorado 80517. Ruth wished to remember the Immanuel Lutheran Church Community Assistance Program, The Good Samaritan Society of Loveland, Colorado - Heritage music program, College of the Ozarks of Point Lookout, MO or the charity of choice.

While in Waterloo, Bob and Corky raised four children. They moved their family to Broomfield, in 1968 and resided there until the mid 80s when they purchased their dream home in Estes Park. Bob and Corky lived the best years of their lives at their home on Big Horn drive, a picturesque home nestled in the woods, just north of downtown Estes.

Their home was a paradise for grandkids. Corky was famous for serving

them homemade cherry pie and ice cream for breakfast, and starting raucous pancake fights. She loved her life as a homemaker and grandmother, loved the birds and the flowers, was a talented painter and enjoyed all sorts of arts and crafts.

Corky was preceded in death by her husband, Bob, and her son-in-law, Gary Daum. She is survived by her brother Edwourd Lochridge, her four children; Crystal Daum, Roxanne Stovall, Scott Baker, and Angela Murphy, four grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

All the facts stated herein are true, correct, complete, and certain, admissible as evidence; this is testimony to their veracity.

1. Larimer county magistrate Allen R.

There is no authority for his act.

2. 8th judicial district court clerk Sherlyn K. Sampson violated her duty to me by taking my written instruments into her own interests, eliminating my documents from our public record kept in her custody. There is no authority for her act.

3. You are in charge of that man & woman. Your agency doesn't have authority for its agents' (Mr. Schwartz & Ms. Sampson) harmful acts. This is unlawful treatment from Colorado's constituted judiciary.

4. Our district courts are chartered.

5. Our county courts are had through legislation.

7. Your lack of scrutiny and/or oversight on your fellow employees has injured me.

10. You have a directive, but you cannot show me any authority whereby that directive is binding upon me.

11. You have no contractual nexus with me whatsoever to justify your employees' wrongful acts against me.

12. I am not a judiciary licensee, therefore I am not subject to any courts' administrative processes under such license. You have no authority to cause me to comply with any such processes.

13. You have harmed & damaged me as a result of your employees' wrongful acts in contractual breach to an amount equivalent to ten pounds (10#) gold, which as of the date of your notice & opportunity would be similar to one hundred seventy-four thousand one hundred twenty-five dollars ($174,125) specie under 12USC§411.
