Prepare For A Wildfire In Colorado Stay prepared with safety advice from the U.S. Fire Administration Wildfire season is here. Last year, nearly 129,495 acres were affected by wildfire in Colorado. Wildfire burned more than 5.5 million acres in the U.S. last year. Are you prepared for a wildfire?

The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) is sharing key steps to staying safe during this dangerous season. Follow these tips to reduce your risk from wildfire.

Preparation Make a plan. Find the best two evacuation routes from your home and from your community. Know how you will use them.

Practice your plan with everyone in your family. If you have a pet, include a leash or carrier in your planning. Practice using both evacuation routes in case one is blocked by smoke or fire.

Have a communications plan for your family members in case you aren’t together during an evacuation.

Make an emergency bag. Put essential personal items in the bag so they’ll be

ready to grab and go. Include your pet supplies.

Know ahead of time how you will receive emergency information from officials in your community. In a wildfire, follow their evacuation instructions.

Protection Keep your roof, rain gutters, deck, and yard clean and green.

Make a safety zone up to 100 feet around your home by clearing dry leaves, pine needles, branches, and other plant debris.

Put anything that can burn, such as woodpiles, propane tanks, etc., at least 100 feet away from your home.

Choose patio furniture and other outdoor items with fire safety in mind.

Make sure your house number can be easily seen from the road.

The Town of Estes Park is pleased to announce the grand opening celebration for the Estes Park Transit Facility Parking Structure July 14, 2017 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on the top level of the new structure at 691 N. Saint Vrain Ave. A ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. Community members are encouraged to drive their favorite vehicles (bikes encouraged!) to the event and join the display of classic autos provided by the Estes Valley Car Club.

This project expands the original parking lot count of 102 stalls by an additional 313 spaces to provide a total of 415 spaces at the Estes Park Visitor Center south parking lot. This exceeds the project grant objective of delivering 300 new spaces to encourage visitors to park and use the Town and Hiker shuttles to reach downtown and Rocky Mountain

National Park. A new free shuttle route, the Green Route, will depart from the Estes Park Events Complex Park-n-Ride bus shelter beginning at 12 p.m. each day, traveling to the parking structure, once opened, then on to Bond Park. It will travel this route every fifteen minutes thereafter traffic-dependent.

The $9.8 million project is opening for operation on time and under budget. The structure is constructed by Heath Construction. Funding was provided by the Town of Estes Park ($5.9 million), Federal Transit Administration ($3.2 million), CDOT FASTER funds ($400,000), Federal Highway Administration Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality grant ($275,000), and Rocky Mountain National Park ($10,000). The structure is partially located on property of the Bureau of Reclamation.

Town To Present Plans For 2017-18 Moraine Avenue Bridge Replacement July 26 Community members are invited to a presentation of design plans and project logistics for the Moraine Avenue Bridge replacement project at 5:30 p.m. July 26 at the Estes Park Museum, 200 Fourth St. This project is a top priority to protect downtown Estes Park from future flood risks. Rocksol Consulting Group and Town of Estes Park staff will provide an overview of anticipated construction impacts, lane closures, detour routes, project timing and other details. Project information is available at www.estes.org/moraineavenuebridge or by contacting the Public Works Department at 970-577-3587. Exhibits will be posted after the meeting for review by those who cannot attend.

The Town expects to hire a construction contractor in September 2017. Construction of the new bridge will take place October 2017 through May 2018 to avoid the high-traffic season and reduce impacts to businesses and the roadway as much as possible. Construction will require a full road closure of Moraine Avenue from Elkhorn Avenue to Rockwell Street occurring October 2017 until May 2018, tentatively. A one-week closure of Elkhorn Avenue at Moraine Avenue is expected in November to allow for buried water and sewer utility upgrades. Sidewalk access to local businesses adjacent to the work zone will remain open. From Rockwell Street south to the Davis Street parking lot entrance, Moraine Avenue is expected to be limited to one lane for southbound traffic November-January for upgrades to the buried electrical lines.

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

On July 3 at 4:03 p.m. a Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer contacted a subject who ran from him upon approach.

EPPD located the individual at 449 Skyline Drive. The 30 year old male from Englewood, CO was arrested and charged with first degree criminal trespass and transported to Larimer County Detention Center.

On July 4 at 10:45 p.m. police stopped the driver of a vehicle at Stanley Ave. and Prospect Ave. for driving in the wrong lane. The 60 year old male driver from Roosevelt, UT was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol and failed roadside maneuvers. He was charged with DUI, DUI per se and driving in the wrong lane and transported to Larimer County Detention Center.

On July 6 at 10:55 p.m. police stopped the driver of a vehicle in the 1200 block of N. St. Vrain Ave. for weaving. Upon

Moraine Avenue will remain open to twoway traffic south of the Davis Street parking lot throughout this project.

Design and construction (pending environmental permitting) for the upgrade to the Moraine Avenue Bridge are funded by a $2 million Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. In coordination with Town of Estes Park approval, as the owner of U.S. 36/Moraine Avenue, the Colorado Department of Transportation will permit project construction.

Using all available space, an upgraded Moraine Avenue Bridge will significantly increase the capacity to convey floodwater within the Fall River channel. The Moraine Avenue Bridge is one of five downtown bridges identified as top priorities for flood mitigation. Other flood mitigation projects are needed for the downtown area, and the Town continues to diligently research and pursue funding opportunities to implement the projects necessary to help reduce the flood risk for the downtown area. For more information, contact the Town of Estes Park Public Works Department at 970-577-3587.

further investigation, the 50 year old male driver from Glen Haven, CO was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol. He was charged with DUI, DUI per se and an improper turn and later released to a responsible person.

On July 7 at 4:27 a.m. police charged a 61 year old female from Estes Park with camping in public after finding her at 170 MacGregor Ave. in a public area. She was issued a summons and released.

On July 7 at 7:45 a.m. police contacted a 36 year old male at 175 Spruce Drive and issued him a citation for a violation against the wildlife protection order, an unsecured dumpster.

On July 9 police received a report that someone had tagged the new parking structure at 691 N. St. Vrain Ave. with spray paint. At this time, there are no suspects and no leads. If you have any information on who committed this crime, you are encouraged to contact the Estes Park Police Department, non-emergency number at 970-586-4000 and report it.

Each year, across the nation, one event brings together entire communities to take part in the fight against cancer. That event is the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®.

Our very own local Relay for Life will be held this Saturday, July 15 from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. at the Estes Park High School track. Relay is a time and place where people come to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against a disease that touches way too many lives. The walk helps to raise awareness and funds to fight back against cancer through the services and research programs of the American Cancer Society. Won’t you join in this year and be a part of Relay?

Relay is a team fundraising event where team members take turns walking around a track. Cancer survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and community members unite in an effort to free the world from the pain and suffering of cancer.

Each team is asked to have a member on the track at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps. Cancer patients don't stop because they're tired, and for one night, neither do Relay participants.

Each team sets up a themed campsite at the event and continues their fundraising efforts by collecting donations for food, goods, games, and activities. This money will count towards their overall team fundraising goal.

Relay starts with an opening ceremony and the Survivor Lap, when cancer survivors and people currently affected by cancer walk the track to be cheered on

and supported by everyone in attendance.

The fun and walking continue through sunset when small, decorated white bags filled with sand, lit by one minuscule light, will line the track with "In Honor” or “In Memory of " one who has or is battling a formidable foe. It is to remember those who have finished their fight, and to celebrate those who are soldiering on, one small beam of light showing our unwavering dedication to never stop researching, to never stop caring, to never stop remembering. These rays of hope together provide a beautiful quarter-mile glow, representing the shocking numbers of people devastated by this horrid disease. It is a very moving ceremony.

At 10 p.m. the Relay wraps up, recognizing volunteers who helped run the event and the hard work and generosity of the community. Organizers remind all to continue with Relay until cancer is no more.

Funds raised through Relay for Life help the American Cancer Society provide free information and support for people facing the disease today, and fund cancer research that will help protect our future generations.

Register at www.relay.org/estesvalleyco The Relay will be held at the Estes Park High School, 1600 Manford Ave. Estes Park. Contact Jon at 303-827-4850 or jonhodde@icloud.com for more information or just stop down and enjoy this special event with your family and friends. You’ll be glad you did!

Reliance Fire Museum Open House And Public Tour This Saturday The Reliance Fire Museum is a gently guarded secret in the Estes Park Community, out of sight of most curious eyes.

It is the place where old fire engines come to get a breath of new life, as they are restored to new condition for their owners: collectors, cities, museums and fire fighter associations. It is also a place that a fine collection of old trucks now make their permanent homes.

This Saturday, July 15th, the Reliance Fire Museum is offering public tour hours from 9 a. m. – Noon. It's your opportunity to take a peek inside.

Visitors from around the world come in small groups or as individuals, sometimes to check out the place that will restore their beloved antique fire engine, or just to see the world class collection of apparatus.

Visitors will have the chance to see fire engines and equipment as old as 1901.

Operating displays include a tiller ladder truck from Beverly Hills, CA; a one-of-akind wooden body sedan pumper from Detroit; and an actual ‘life-net’ used to catch victims that might jump from a burning building- among many other trucks and fire fighting tools. Bring the kids, but be forewarned, these trucks are not toys- with several being valued at over $100,000. (There is a fire truck parked outside that is OK to climb on!)

At this open house the museum will be showing off the latest “restorations in

progress” including a 1927 American LaFrance pumper that served Los Angles, California, and one of two 1914 Ahrens Fox type F tractors still in existence. It’s dark maroon paint really makes the 23 karat gold leaf decoration stand out! A 1911 Kissel pumper from Salida, Colorado is also under restoration.

The museum is also welcoming a new arrival in the form of a 1918 American LaFrance race car. The car was created about 40 years ago in Loveland from a derelict ladder truck, which was popular back then. We found it in Michigan. It’s seen some rough years but we’ll be putting it back together and racing it in the near future.

Public tours are free of charge. Donations to help operate the Museum are always welcome, but not required. Take Moraine Avenue West from downtown Estes Park to Elm Road, then about 1 mile up Elm Road to the Museum- it’s the building with a fire truck in the driveway at 460 Elm Road. Parking is available behind the shop if necessarywhere you can also check out some classic trucks awaiting their turn in the restoration shop.

To take a preview of the Museum, or for contact information, visit the Reliance Fire Museum website: www.reliancefiremuseum.org or check out our Facebook page for the very latest photos and updates!

Free Ice Cream Social July 22nd Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church is hosting a free Community Ice Cream Social.

This year the event will be held on July 22nd from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at 950 N. St. Vrain Ave. All residents and visitors are invited to attend. The Riverside Ramblers will be serenading guests while they enjoy their cool treats.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com When I surprised a group of hikers today by laying out a tablecloth and serving tea and “biscuits” at the historic Wigwam Team Room, I had no idea I was staying true to history. You see, the “biscuits” I served were Oreo cookies (they travel well in a backpack), first sold in 1912, and the Wigwam Tea Room was built by Anna Wolfrom, who first homesteaded in the Estes Valley that same year.

Who’da thunk that Oreos have been around for more than 100 years?

Nabisco’s cookie was originally developed to compete with the Hydrox. It surpassed its competitor in popularity and is now the best selling cookie in the United States.

I am loyal to the original Oreo, consisting of two chocolate wafers with a single layer of sweet white creme in the middle.

I don’t favor the Double Stuf or even the Mega Stuf (yes, there is such an Oreo). I like the perfect balance between creme and cookie of the original Oreo, a staple in my house, to be consumed with either milk or ice cream. Period.

But I thought the lemon flavored Oreo would go well with the black tea my Sherpa carried to the Wigwam for me.

Little did I know that the lemon-filled variety goes back to the 1920s (although discontinued until recently re-released).

My fellow hikers agreed.

Nabisco didn’t stop with chocolate and lemon flavors, however. At various times in past 100 years there have been Banana Split Oreos (one yellow wafer, one chocolate wafer, and a thick layer of strawberry and banana flavored creme), Limeade Oreos, football-shaped Oreos, the Big Stuf Oreo with 250 calories and 13 grams of fat per cookie, Oreo Minis, Oreo Thins with a mere 40 calories per cookie, Chocolate Oreos, Reese’s Oreos, and Oreos with flavored creme such as mint, blueberry pie, cinnamon-bun, red velvet cupcake, birthday cake, gingerbread, fruit punch, and Peeps! I’m not done: there’s Caramel Apple Oreo,

Pumpkin Spice Oreo, Root Beer Float, Key Lime Pie, S’mores, Swedish Fish, and the newest flavors on the market: Waffles and Syrup, and Mississippi Mud Pie. Who knew?

It’s no wonder we can’t find M&Ms in the grocery store these days. They’ve been pulled from the shelf to make room for the invasion of the Oreo.

Oreo cookies are important to our history. And so is Anna Wolfrom, the first female homesteader in the Estes Valley.

Wolfrom was a Kansas City school teacher who was awarded a Homestead Patent along the Wind River in 1914, when she was 42 years old. She built a small cabin on her land, hauling materials in a wheelbarrow, and not only survived there alone, but thrived. When hikers and horseback riders visited her little place, coming in on the road she built, she started a business selling tea, and then curios as well. She may have even sold an Oreo cookie or two. Over time she expended her tea room and built a separate building to house her employees.

She also developed the Beaver Point commercial corner at Moraine and High Drive and operated at least one retail outlet downtown. Anna Wolfrom died in 1950 at the age of 78. Her stamina and foresight made a significant impact on the development of the tourist trade in Estes Park. Her legacy lives on through her original cabin (barely larger than an outhouse), the Wigwam Tea Room and accompanying buildings, which remain standing after being shored up by the National Park Service. The Wigwam Tea Room is a delightful place to enjoy tea and biscuits today, just like it was 100 years ago. And Oreos too.

Estes Park Medical Center Takes The Pulse Of The Community The Hospital Announces their Second Community Health Needs Assessment Estes Park Medical Center (EPMC) is dedicated to creating and maintaining programs that align with the needs of the community. To assess the continuously evolving health of the community, EPMC will launch their second assessment this June. A community health needs assessment (CHNA) determines the strengths and areas of need through active stakeholder engagement, resulting in a roadmap on how to better serve the community.

Held during three community stakeholder meetings, EPMC will look at the data around health indicators like diabetes, smoking, and air quality, among others. In July, a full community survey will be distributed and we hope all community members will take the time to provide their input. These two data analysis opportunities will result in EPMC choosing priorities on which to focus for the next three years. Your voice matters in this process.

Larry Leaming, EPMC CEO, aims to live the hospital’s mission daily – to make a positive difference in the health and wellbeing of all we serve. “With altruistic and holistic care, and by remaining cognizant of our patients’ needs, we can fulfill the expectations of our community

and create a culture of health, ” said Leaming.

Although CHNAs have been formally occurring in communities for over two decades, a mandate was created through the Affordable Care Act that all 501(c) (3) hospitals facilitate an assessment every three years. EPMC has committed to exceeding this mandate to stay true to its mission, vision, and values while serving the Estes Park community and surrounding areas.

EPMC offers a full scope of health services from acute to primary care. Designated as a rural critical access hospital, the organization maintains 25 hospital beds, and operates a 60 bed skilled nursing facility. Community members and visitors can get all their healthcare needs met including physical therapy, general surgery, and cardiology, to name a few.

Vertical Strategies will be facilitating the CHNA. Melissa Bosworth, Principal, will be the lead on the project and claims nearly 20 years of health service experience with rural facilities, dental safety nets, services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, along with state and federal policy. Ms. Bosworth is also faculty at Regis University where she teaches her students the importance maintaining healthcare excellence in our country’s rural areas.

Crossroads Ministry Thanks Community For July 4 Benefit Breakfast About 600 people gathered Tuesday, July 4, for food and fellowship, in the parking lot of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church. The breakfast, cheerfully prepared by the Knights of Columbus at Our Lady of the Mountains, raised approximately $5,400 to help persons in need through Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park. Additionally, more than 158 pounds of food was donated for the Crossroads pantry.

In addition to Our Lady of the Mountains and the Knights of Columbus, Crossroads deeply appreciates the sponsors who help strengthen our community by their support for this annual pancake breakfast, including Estes Park Rent All, The Egg & I, Wapiti Colorado Pub, Smokin’ Dave’s Restaurant, Starbucks, Rambo’s, and St. Francis of Assisi. Crossroads Ministry also thanks Estes Park News, Estes Park Trail-Gazette, and Visit Estes Park for their invaluable assistance in promoting this July 4 tradition.

Volunteers are the heart of Crossroads Ministries, and Crossroads thanks our board members and many other friends for many expressions of support. A special word of appreciation goes out to Marc Coen for designing a bright new poster and logo for the annual breakfast.

This year’s event was brightened by approximately 50 volunteers from the Estes Park Community. Thank you!

We also thank our good-natured “Featured Flapjack Flippers” for 2017: Mayor Todd Jirsa, Fire Chief David Wolf, First Assistant Fire Chief Jon Landkamer, Reverend Michael Moore from Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, and Father David McCready from Saint Francis of Assisi Anglican Church.

Crossroads Ministries assists families and individuals in the Estes Valley who go without proper food, shelter, and essential medical care every day due to a variety of factors, including low wages, job loss, injuries, illness, age, domestic violence, or divorce. The generous support of our community enables Crossroads not only to help meet basic daily needs but also to provide opportunities for a brighter future through education, counseling, temporary housing, and many other services.

New Plaque Tells The Story Behind A Famous Downtown Sculpture

Footsteps from the entrance to the Estes Valley Library is a statue titled “Green Apples” by its creator. Thousands of people stop each year to gaze at this marvel, yet few know the inspiration for this work of art. The story behind “Green Apples” is rooted in rural Americana, and in life’s simple and sometimes hard truths.

Well-known local artist Herb Mignery is the creator of “Green Apples”.

Years ago, Mignery told his friend Bob Brunson the life event that inspired the statue. Brunson was so charmed with Mignery’s story that he began telling his friends, including his friends in the Estes Park Rotary Club.

The Estes Park Rotary Club has been a major supporter of local art and literacy. Partnering with our town, our library, our numerous nonprofits and our schools, the Club is an essential benefactor in our community.

They even played a role in the original placement of the “Green Apples” sculpture.

Artist Herb Mignery was born in 1937 and raised on a cattle ranch near Bartlett, Nebraska. He began sculpting in 1972. Mignery is perhaps best known for his cowboy sculptures, with many public installations around the United States. Familiar local works include installations at the Estes Park Fairgrounds and in Loveland.

Mignery created “Green Apples” as a tribute to a boyhood friend, harkening back to his days on the ranch.

The story behind “Green Apples” now appears on a newly-installed plaque at the base of the statue, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Estes Park. A small dedi-

cation ceremony was held last Friday, attended by members of the Rotary Club, several of Mignery’s friends, and Library staff members.

Mignery recounts the story that inspired his work: “A neighbor boy, Charles McCain, about four years older than me, would let me ride with him on his horse as he herded the cows in for the evening milking. We would stop at the orchard to pick green apples for munching on the way.”

“Charles was saintly in manner and character far beyond his years,” recalls Mignery. “At the age of thirteen, he became ill. It was thought he had eaten too many green apples. It was fatal appendicitis, and his last wish was that I have his BB gun.”

“This sculpture is my gift to him.”

Herb and Sherry Mignery currently reside is Loveland and Estes Park, Colorado. The Library expresses its gratitude to the Rotary Club of Estes Park and the Town of Estes Park for their support of downtown art. Appreciation also goes to Bob Brunson for his interest in preserving the “Green Apples” story, and to Herb Mignery for his artistic achievement.

Laurel & Hardy Featured In Silent Film Fest This Friday At Historic Park Theatre

Featuring 64 taps of Craft Beer, Wine, Cider, Mead, Plus Spirits

They had a knack for entering a simple situation and turning it into a disaster.

Then they would look at each other, Ollie with the disgusted look and Stan Laurel with the moping face dripping with hopelessness. It was a formula present in just about every film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were contrasting characters. Stan was the quiet, submissive one of average stature. Ollie weighed about 280 pounds and usually played the dominant character. Laurel wore the neck tie, Hardy wore the bow tie. They began their careers in acting separately. Ollie appeared in over 250 films, many of them short subjects.

Stan Laurel began his career in music halls in England and acted in films before meeting Oliver Hardy. He even crossed paths with Charlie Chaplin in some of his earlier films.

Their first film together was “Lucky Dog” in 1921. By the mid-twenties, they were an established duo, making films together well into the “talkies” era.

Scott “Flying Fingers” Wilseck, the piano accompanist for the silent films recalls Laurel and Hardy when he was a kid back in the 50s. “Laurel and Hardy would be on our little black and white television. They were family favorites. Not only were the gags hysterical, but the reactions of both actors to the situations they encountered were very funny. These were “talkies” but they really didn’t have to say much to relate an emotion. You could read it all over their faces. At the time, I didn’t realize they made silent films, but they entered the acting profession at a time when silents were the only movies produced. ” Three Laurel and Hardy films will be featured. In “Big Business” they attempt to sell Christmas trees in sunny California.

A character resistant to purchase produces a wild conflict with plenty of slapstick gags and gimmicks. In “Bacon Grab-

Parkinson’s Support Group Meeting The Parkinson's Support Group meets on the third Tuesday of each month. This month, we meet July 18 from 2:00-3:30.

Our new location is at the library, on the 2nd floor in the Wasson Room. An elevator is available. We will be viewing You Tube Videos from experts in their various areas of Parkinson's disease treatment.

Discussion and sharing are always welcome. All people living with this neurological condition, their family and friends are all welcomed to come, participate, share and learn from each other. Any Questions? Call Linda Hanak at 586 9633.

bers” they attempt to reposses a home radio from a man who has not kept up his payments. The struggle that ensues goes from humorous to ridiculous. The final film is “Laughtoons” which features four vignettes, each one unique and each showing them dealing with a different problem. The final one features a pie fight many say is the best in the history of filmmaking.

The Silent Film Fest takes place every Friday in July and August at the Historic Park Theatre. July 14 will be “Laurel and Hardy Day.” The fun on the screen begins at 5 p.m., but prior to the films Scott “Flying Fingers” Wilseck will be playing old time piano songs on the piano that was built over 100 years ago. The movie theatre is the oldest west of the Mississippi River. It’s an experience that will take you back to simpler times. It’s a chance to walk in the footsteps of your grandparents and great grandparents.

Cousin Estes: A Musical Docudrama On July 22

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

For 20 years, Dixon researched his Estes

genealogy. Every time he found an interesting character, he wrote a song. This inspired Dixon to create a new album about Estes Family members, make videos for each of the songs, and ultimately write a play to present the Estes family history.

The album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cousin Estesâ&#x20AC;? was released in October 2015. Dixon plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals. The play of the same title will debut in Estes Park on Saturday, July 22.

Tickets are on sale at the Museum now. The cost to attend is $15 for Museum members and $18 for non-members in advance, or $20 the night of the production. Will call is available for those who cannot pick up their tickets in advance, simply call the Estes Park Museum at 970586-6256. The performance is a Centennial event highlighting the history of Estes Park and a fundraiser for the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. The play is entertaining and appropriate for all ages.

Weed Roundup Next Saturday The 10th annual Estes Park Weed Roundup will be held next Saturday, July 22 from 9:00 a.m. to noon located north of the Waste Management transfer station (across from Smokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BBQ) at 666 Elm Road.

Garage Sale At Good Samaritan Village This Saturday To Benefit New Veterans’ Memorial By: Laurie Button

Every year it is one of the most anticipated happenings in Estes Park. In fact, it’s not unusual for event organizers to receive calls from people out of state trying to find out when it’s scheduled so they don’t miss out. And no, it’s not the Catch the Glow Christmas Parade, Elk Fest, Fourth of July fireworks, or even the Scottish Festival. The event is the Good Samaritan Estes Park Village’s annual garage sale. This year’s sale will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, July 15 in the Good Samaritan Village parking garage. Proceeds from the event will benefit construction of the Estes Park Veterans Monument.

Carey Stevanus, activities director at the Village, says the first sales were internal and offered as a service to residents and staff. Most of the items were donated by those who were moving away or by families whose loved ones had passed away.

The profits were used to buy items needed by the Village such as a sound system and television. The Village continues to hold monthly events like those for the residents. Today, with a crew of volunteers from the Village and community residents, Good Sam is totally responsible for an event drawing shoppers much like the retail industry’s “Black Friday.”

Since the annual public sale’s inception, the proceeds have been funneled back into the community. Perhaps one of the most massive efforts took place a few weeks after the Woodland Heights Fire in June 2012. More than twenty structures were destroyed and most of those homeowners lost everything. The public was invited to contribute clothing, furniture, household goods, and cash. Affected families were invited to come to Good Sam before the sale and select things that they needed. In addition to the material

items collected, by the time the sale was over more than $5,000 was raised to assist the victims.

Each year a specific group or organization is designated to receive the sale’s proceeds. Past recipients include the Community Café for purchase of a freezer, the American Legion to help with the cost of new windows, and Honor Flight to send local veterans of WWII, Korea, and Purple Heart recipients to Washington, D.C. Good Sam residents Janet (“Jan”) Burgess and Joy Gimar are just two of the volunteers who help make the sale a success.

The duo is responsible for what is fondly referred to as “The Cage”—a space tucked away in a secure corner of the garage. Inside potential buyers will find stemware, glasses, dishes, pots, pans, utensils, small electrics, artwork, statuary, knickknacks, and treasures just waiting to be discovered.

Jan and Joy work many hours pricing each item individually. But here’s a bit of advice: Don’t bother to try and negotiate prices with any of the volunteers: They won’t budge.

“I just say no; it’s for charity,” said Jan. For personal reasons, Jan and Joy are particularly pleased with the decision to donate the sale’s proceeds to construction of the Veterans Monument because both

of their husbands served during World War II. Bob Burgess’ mother gave in to her son’s persistent pleading to enter the military in the fall of his senior year in high school. He had just turned eighteen. Bob joined the Navy and was assigned to the USS Kalinin Bay, a Casablancaclass escort aircraft carrier. The carrier was named for a bay on the northern shore of Kruzof Island in southeastern Alaska. The ship was part of the Navy’s Pacific Fleet. Even though Bob had left school before completing his senior year, the principal deemed his service in the Navy qualified him to graduate with his class. His mother accepted his diploma for him during the graduation ceremony.

How did Bob and Jan meet? After graduating from the University of Northern Colorado and teaching in Cody, WY for two years, Jan secured a position in California. But before moving west, she accepted a summer job at The Taffy Shop in Estes Park. Storeowners Lowell

and Juanita Slack decided to be matchmakers. They told Jan there was a young man she should meet working at a local restaurant—The Plantation on Elkhorn Avenue (it was owned by Bob’s parents).

At the same time, they were sharing an identical message with Bob. The two dated, but Jan did teach school in California for one year.

“I returned to [Estes Park] July 1st and we were married July 26th,” Jan said with a twinkle and a smile. Bob passed away in 2005.

Jean Gimar was twenty years old, a member of ROTC, and had just graduated from college when he enlisted in the US Army Airborne and became a paratrooper. While serving in Europe during WWII, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, he returned to Europe and served with the occupational forces in Frankfort, Germany before returning to his home state of Iowa.

Joy and Jean grew up in Des Moines and after the war, they were both working at Younkers, an Iowa-based clothing store located there.

“He was my paymaster,” Joy recalled.

“One day he brought me my paycheck, looked at me and said ‘I got paid today, too. Want to help me spend it?’ I told him not tonight, but what about tomorrow?”

They were married four months later and honeymooned in Estes Park. After stops in Wichita and Hutchinson, KS the couple retired here where their marriage began. Jean passed away in 1999.

Jan and Joy are just two of the wonderful volunteers who are working to help make this year’s Good Sam garage sale yet another rousing success. Be sure to be there tomorrow morning to show your support for both their efforts and the Veterans Monument.

WHAT’S YOUR ‘MIDDLE C’?

When Lloyd Douglas, author of ‘The Robe’, a best seller of years gone by, attended college, he lived in a boarding house. A retired, wheelchair-bound music professor resided on the first floor. Each morning Douglas would stick his head in the door of the teacher’s apartment and ask the same question, “Well, what’s the good news?” The old man would pick up his tuning fork, tap it on the side of his wheelchair and say, “That’s ‘middle C!’ It was ‘middle C’ yesterday; it will be ‘middle C’ tomorrow; it will be ‘middle C’ a thousand years from now. The tenor upstairs sings flat, a piano across the hall is out of tune, but, my friend, that is ‘middle C’.”

We all need our ‘middle C’. Relationships change. Health conditions change. The weather changes (even here where the wind tend to blow continually). And you could add so many other things to the list of those things that ‘change’: husbands change, wives change, children change. The list goes on.

Many changes are good. We are happy to see our children change...growing, learning and maturing. We like to witness relationships growing and developing…when the change is positive and blessing. We like to see the seasons change, especially here in Estes Park as winter moves into spring and summer. Some welcome the twice-annual ‘time-change’, others wish that they lived in an area of where they did not have to ‘spring forward’ and ‘fall back’ every year, with things remaining somewhat the same.

However, there are some things that we really cherish knowing that they do not change but remain the same. One of them, of course, is God. A songwriter shares his thought: “Change and decay, in all around I see. O Thou, Who changest not, abide with me.” God once had His prophet Malachi tell the people: “I am the Lord, I change not!” On another occasion He said, “I am the same yesterday, today, and forever.” This should give us considerable comfort. God has made many ‘general’ promises to His people so it helps us to know that those promises apply to us today just as they did in those days past. Many inspired writers reminded us that “God is faithful!” when it comes to keeping His promises. As a result this ‘middle C’ understanding of God can be very comforting. However, to some, it may be somewhat intimidating even fear producing. When we look at His dealings with people in past ages we witness His justice and punishment as it impacted the lives of many. “Our God is an awesome God.” Hebrews says, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.” Peter warns people of his day, “God is not slack concerning His promises, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

If you have this ‘Middle C’ comforting your life, you can be like the little boy who, on his way home from Sunday School, was heard singing a song he didn’t get quite right, or did he? His mother heard him singing joyfully, ‘Trust and Okay’. Is that way you feel?

It is my hope that each of us can say confidently, every day, like the music teacher of old, that we have our ‘Middle C’ and that because we have Him we will never be fearful, everything is ‘Okay’, because He ever stands ready to bless, strengthen and help us. Bob

“LET’S GET DIGITAL!” See mor

Thank You To The Community!

I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our community for the outpouring of support shown for this year’s Paint Estes Pink campaign. Thanks to the generous donors, dedicated Crowns for the Care contestants, supportive business community, and committed volunteers on the Paint Estes Pink community committee, we raised more than twice what is needed to purchase the two new IV pumps for Estes Park Medical Center’s Oncology Department.

Thanks to all of this amazing support, our Medical Center leadership and Oncology Department staff will be able to address other priorities to help enhance cancer services and continue to meet the growing demand for cancer treatments in Estes.

Mrs. Rooftop Rodeo It was wonderful to see Maggie Daubin be crowned Mrs. Rooftop Rodeo for all of her efforts raising donations in the Rooftop Rodeo’s Crowns for the Care contest. I also sincerely appreciate all that was done by Karla Van Drie (contest runner-up), Joy Barnett, Sharron Bryan, Erika Federico, Jessie Finch, Christina Kraft, Michelle Purdy, Jodi Rasmussen, Dee Robinson and Liz Tate.

Campaign Sponsors Thanks to financial and in-kind sponsorships from the Rooftop Rodeo, Estes Area Lodging Association, Estes Park Trail-Gazette, Estes Park News and Visit Estes Park, 100% of all the funds raised

To learn more and register go to www.whatsyoureverest.org and to learn more about No Barriers USA go to www.nobarriersusa.org.

11:00 a.m.- Dahlby & Nadine. This band is a duo that was born out of a local bluegrass jam. They discovered they had a similar drive to make music and write songs. The first time they blended their voices, they knew they had a sound vibration that must be shared, and a playful energy not to be contained. Their song choices are thoughtful and sometimes a little edgy for an Americana duo. Their songwriting contains clever lyrics with irony and metaphor. Erin Dahlby on mandolin. Nadine on guitar. They are local, organic and non-gmo.

12 noon-Wood Belly-When a band like Wood Belly comes along to channel it, the sky is the limit. Led by a pair of prolific songwriters, their songs are carefully and collectively crafted to ring out with honesty and passion. Wood Belly blends traditional bluegrass with modern songwriting and whether you’re spinning your partner around or hanging on every

word, the result is the same. You’re left smiling and wanting more. The band was born when Chris Weist (mandolin) met Craig Patterson (guitar) and Chris Zink. (dobro) at the Rockygrass Festival in 2015. Within a year they had teamed up with Aaron McCloskey (banjo) and Taylor Shuck (bass), and the music immediately fell into place.

1:00 p.m.-EverTangled Roots-This band is an emerging contemporary string band from the Colorado, Front Range.

The trio mixes influences from their diverse musical backgrounds to create a unique and eclectic sound. Estes Park local Will Thomas seeks to bring a new type of string band to Estes Park and he is joined by Lea Mattson on the violin and Aaron Hoffenberg on the upright bass.

2:00 p.m.-Bonnie & the Clydes-They are one of the foremost Front Range bands, pioneering their unique sound of Rocky Mountain Country Soul. Fronted by the fiery Bonnie Sims, this band has been making waves with powerful and memorable live performances for the past seven years. Bonnie & the Clydes were awarded 'Best Country Band' in 2013 & 2014 in Denver Westword's Yearly 'Best Of ' poll. They have independently released four studio albums.

3:00 p.m.-Ran Off the Rooster-A women-powered string band playing high energy Country Americana with rich harmonies and a double shot of soul.

With Jacie Ullrich on guitar; Amy Glenney on upright bass and Erin Dahlby on mandolin.

4:00 p.m.-ReinTarnation- What happens when you die and then get reborn as a hillbilly? You have become reintarnated. This band is a four piece string band featuring Tom Thomas, Greg Miles, Greg Glasgow and Garth Lewis. The band members have been playing music together for 15 years and are all long time residents of Estes Park. They are best known for playing traditional bluegrass music, singing harmonies, and really gettin' their twang on.

Special thanks go out to these sponsors who helped make this event possible: Snowy Peaks Winery, Estes Arts District, 1st Colorado Realty, Estes Park News, Fall River Village, Mueller-Pye & Associates, CPA, Community Hearing Center, Rambo’s Longhorn Liquor, Country Market, Glacier Creek Construction, Open Air Adventure Park, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, You Need Pie!, Elkins Distilling Co., Kingswood Home Services, Estes Park Massage, Liz & Jo’s, Shear Magic Day Spa, Kind Coffee, Aspen and Evergreen, Himalayan Curry and Kebob, Patterson Glassworks, Earthwood Collections, Backbone Adventures, Latitude 105, Estes Mini Mart, Rockfan, Estes Park Mountain Shop, The Barrel, Raven’s Roast Coffee Lounge, Highland Music Center, Two Chicks and Roaming Rations.

The entertainment will end at 5 p.m. and will be followed by a bluegrass jam down the street at The Barrel starting at 6 p.m.

SnowyGrass is a festival you won’t want to miss! Be there!

Paint Estes Pink Raises More Than 200% Of Goal This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paint Estes Pink results were reported at Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rooftop Rodeo to a cheering crowd dressed in pink.

An additional in-kind donation from BD/CareFusion, a global medical-technology company, will also be provided in the form of a $4,000 discount on the two infusion pumps.

Things Done Well The success of a community may be measured in part by the vitality of its business concerns. A new venture that takes root and prospers serves to strengthen and deepen social cohesion. Welcome to Elkins Distilling Company, located on Highway 34 across from the Marina, which continues the centuries-old tradition of making whisky in the Rocky Mountains through Estes Park’s first legal distillery.

“We’re scientists,” says Joe Elkins, who last week celebrated the first anniversary of his eponymous distillery. “We’re curious and want to know more about whisky. We are trying to share what we learn with as many people as will listen. We’re trying to make the best we can and communicate it to whoever will listen. That kind of curiosity keeps us going. ” Joe hails from Georgia, where he was a college geology major. His resume is prototypically self-made American: pizza delivery for Papa John’s, a stint at Six Flags, a car wash gig, Walmart worker and other positions before joining the Georgia National Guard and spending eight years in the Reserves.

“I’m making whisky. Just saying that makes me smile. The fact that I get to do it is incredible: the science, the craft, the tradition; we are trying to make Colorado corn whisky—it’s really exciting. It tickles me when someone buys a bottle to go. It never gets old. ” In 2008 Joe left Bowling Green University (OH), where he was an assistant professor, to take a position teaching Geology at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. In his spare moments he practiced home distilling, and by 2014 he knew he wanted to start a whisky distillery. He considered returning to Georgia, but a visit to Estes Park opened up possibilities.

“We have been welcomed by everyone we’ve talked to,” says Joe. “It’s been like a team with the breweries. Craft beverage is a growing industry in Colorado, but from first meeting the brewers have been collaborative, welcoming and supportive.

We’re trying to add more Christmas ornaments on the tree—we’re trying to add to the Estes experience. ” During a spring break visit to Estes Park in 2014, Joe looked for but couldn’t locate a distillery; the idea hatched. Estes Valley Partners for Commerce proved helpful, as Jon Nicholas guided Joe through due diligence and the early phases of a steep learning curve. In late July ’14 town Trustees voted to loosen spirit laws and allow craft beverages without a restaurant. Elkins Distilling Company began to hunt for space.

“Our process is different because we don’t use barrels to contain the whisky; we put the wood IN the whisky. ” Joe picks up a fistful of small wood chips, hand-cut from barrels that developed compounds as liquids aged, and explains the process of extracting fruit esters and whisky lactone. “It’s as much science as art: how long, what mixture, correct blend of chips, temperatures, color, bou-

good neighbor. ” And good neighbors they are. Elkins was a sponsor of Rhythm Future Quartet’s recent tour de force performance at the Park Theater. The inimitable Kurtis Kelly has done events at the distillery to celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine’s Day, entertaining and educating about Estes Park, with a whisky chaser. Community conversations have been held about climate change, reintroduction of wolves and endangered species. One recent evening folks gathered to create tiles for the tunnel linking the new parking structure with downtown. A dozen rehearsal dinners this summer will add to wedding joys. “These events,” says McShan, “bring a wide variety of people into the space who otherwise might not have come here. They help to spread the word through person-to-person marketing.”

On your visit to Elkins Distillery you’ll meet Ollie the dog (half border collie, half blue healer), and you can discuss drinks with Joe and McShan, as well as quet and more. I had never operated a Masters of Mixology Keegan Knox and 120-gallon still before; I had never Sam Rugabaer.

Time moved ATL7522@gmail.com all too slowly: hiring a contractor, approval of plans, then construction. Renovation was finally completed in late June 2016, and the distillery opened July 4.

Until Labor Day weekend last year Joe worked 100 hour weeks, doing everything: keeping the books, advertising, sales, purchasing supplies and, most important, making genuine Colorado whisky: 80% corn from Nunn (just east of Fort Collins) and 20% fossil-free malted barley.

Diligence reaped rewards. Joe and partners McShan Walker and Nathan Taylor entered their first-year whisky in the 2017 Denver International Spirits Competition, earning two second-place awards, a promising start. License plates in the distillery’s ample parking lot suggest word is getting around: Kansas, Alabama, Florida, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Arkansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, Texas and California.

Joe and his talented team are not resting on laurels. They are curious about a possible downtown presence; they contemplate several new products based on Colorado agriculture (e. g., honey whisky), as well as a more sophisticated connoisseur’s whisky (more grain, more materials) ; and possibly developing a Colorado gin. “We are going to experiment with different types of wood—barrels and grain—in an experimental series to guide continuous improvement of our Colorado whisky. The idea is to see if we can publish experiments that show progress.”

McShan puts it nicely: “Make sure you spend as much time working ON your business as IN your business. Understand how the community works, learn how to communicate with visitors, become a

Monday Artisans Market July 17th Featured Artisan, Kathy Harding

This weeks featured artisan for the Monday Artisans Market is Kathy Harding. Her beautiful photography reflects her joy and spirit of her creativity.

Kathy is the founder of Whispering Winds Photography. Her love for beauty and nature inspires her to live her dreams of creating beautiful photography. Kathy lives high in the Rocky Mountains, near Estes Park, Colorado and loves being out in nature creating her tranquil images.

Kathy loves the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, thus the name, Whispering Winds. The breeze through the pine trees or aspens; each different but soothing. “…the wind seems to have a story to tell you, like listening to beautiful music.” Kathy loves being out in nature. Her hope is to share the beauty around her with as many as she can. Photography is like sharing a story. Her photographs focus on the nat-

Deb Davis Adams and David Adams of Estes Park are very excited to announce the engagement of Deb's daughter, Michelle Davis of Woodbury, MN to Kelly Boe, also of Woodbury.

Michelle and Kelly are planning a fall wedding in Estes Park.

ural world, the beauty to be found all around.

Kathy lives by three simple words, Dream. Inspire. Live. These three simple words are the basis for the goals she has set for herself and how she wants to live her life. They are her motivation. They drive the decisions she makes and the things that she does.

Dream. Everyone has dreams. Kathy says dream big! One of her dreams is to be able to take photographs that people can look at and feel something – a stirring inside that makes you want to go out and experience the beauty for yourself. Or maybe its a photograph that brings back a wonderful memory. Or a photograph that makes you dream of being there or another similar place. Whatever your dream, remember, you’ll never know if you don’t try. One step at a time is all it takes!

Inspire. Kathy finds solace in nature. It soothes her soul. Her goal as a photographer is to share the beauty she sees in the world and perhaps inspire you to get out there and experience it in your own way.

Or if that’s not for you, just sit back in your favorite chair and experience it through her photographs.

Live. Open your heart and your eyes to the beautiful world around you. Go out and experience it! Meet new people.

Travel to new places. Take a risk. Live your life to the fullest every single moment. The only regret you’ll ever have is the risk you didn’t take.

Kathy is delighted that she came to pur-

sue her particular dream of becoming a photographer. Like most people, she always liked taking pictures of the people and places in her life. Then her perspective changed quite a bit when she became crime scene investigator. Over the course of 10 years, she took tens of thousands of photographs documenting crime scenes and evidence. As you can imagine, there wasn’t much beauty in that line of work.

Eventually, she left that career in search of a more meaningful and less stressful way of life. She moved to the mountains of Colorado where she is surrounded by nature, wildlife, and a far more peaceful existence. Having seen so much of the ugly side of life, Kathy strives to see the world with a new set of eyes; looking for

beauty where ever she goes. With the Rocky Mountains in her back yard, its not very hard to find!

“I hope you enjoy my photographs as much as I enjoy taking them for you! ” 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. We are located at the Riverside Plaza, formerly known as the George Hix Riverside Plaza, downtown, 10:00 - 5:00. Stop by, say hi, meet the artisans, see their labor of love, and hear their story.

Preview Of July 17 Summer Music Festival Program

By: Derald DeYoung

The first program in the two-part series of concerts from the Colorado Music Festival in Boulder will be on Monday, July 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Stanley Concert Hall. The Chamber Orchestra will perform a concert of works by English composers: Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Benjamin Britten, Russian composer Dimitri Shostakovich and German composer Richard Strauss. All of these works are for string orchestra with the addition of piano and trumpet. Stewart Goodyear, who has performed with many major orchestras throughout the world, is the guest piano soloist.

The Fantasia on a Theme by Tallis by Vaughan-Williams will open the concert.

This is a work for double string orchestra with solo viola, violin and string quartet.

It is based on a theme by 16th century English church composer Thomas Tallis.

Vaughan-Williams exploits his two orchestras with statement and response, throwing his development of the theme from one group to the other. This is one of Vaughan-Williams’ most well-known pieces and is an inspiring work in the modern repertory.

Shostakovich was a piano virtuoso and wrote this first piano concerto for him-

self to perform when he was 27. The work is entertaining and unorthodox with a virtuoso solo trumpet part.

With rapid changes of character it can seem almost schizophrenic at times. It is a colorful, highly amusing and engaging work.

Benjamin Britten’s Young Apollo was commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto. It is a fanfare for piano and orchestra. Britten described it as, “. . . very bright and brilliant music - rather inspired by such sunshine as I’ve never seen before.” Britten was the piano soloist when the work was performed live on CBC in 1939.

The work is an extraordinary fantasia which contains great energy and bravado.

Richard Strauss’ Metamorphosen for string orchestra is a serene, highly contemplative study for twenty-three strings (each with its own part) in one long slow movement. The string lines wind around each other, expand, distend and die. There is a quotation of the funeral march from the third movement of Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony near the end of the work.

This is a most fascinating program of rarely heard compositions of some of the greatest composers of the 20th century.

Individual concert tickets: $30 each (cash or check). Children and students admitted free. Tickets available at the door or in advance at Macdonald Book Shop, 152 E. Elkhorn Ave., Estes Park or at the Festival business office located at Hobert Office Services, 1140 Manford Ave., Suite A, Estes Park (970) 586-9519.

Tickets may also be purchased online at www.estesparkmusicfestival.org. A processing fee is applied to all credit and/or debit card purchases.

Erik Stensland was born in Minnesota and moved with his family to Montana where he developed his deep love for the mountains. After several years working in the Balkans for a nonprofit initiative, where Erik met his wife Joanna, they decided to return to the United States and settled in Colorado with their son Luke.

Erik quickly became intimate with Rocky Mountain National Park and opened his own gallery in Estes Park in 2007. Erik has authored several books including Wild Light: A Celebration of Rocky Mountain National Park. This book is the result of work spanning over a decade of exploring and photographing this unique wilderness.

Two new books that Eric has published are Memories of Rocky Mountain National Park and Photographing Rocky Mountain National Park. Memories is a paperback version of Wild Lights but includes all new photographs that have never

When a wind farm, locally or in a different state, sells energy to another utility, it can additionally sell “credits” for producing that energy. The PRPA has committed millions of dollars to purchasing RECs, and they offer them for resale to customers who want to use renewable energy. This can be an additional source of revenue for the original energy producer as well as for the PRPA, and it also may ultimately reduce coal burning at a plant somewhere else (although research suggests otherwise).

Library’s Common Cents For Colorado Goes National Estes Valley Library is proud to announce another important milestone for Common Cents for Colorado, the library’s financial literacy program serving libraries across Colorado.

As of July 2017, the project’s major resources are available to the public on the Common Cents for Colorado website.

Libraries across the country can view and utilize materials for their library patrons.

Individuals who prefer to learn online can access class handouts and view entertaining, instructive YouTube videos for each of the project’s five basic financial classes. You can now find these powerful resources in the “Financial Literacy” link at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Why is this important? Financial literacy, the ability to understand how money works and manage one’s resources, has declined for many years. According to the Federal Reserve Bank’s most recent study, nearly one-third of Americans struggle paycheck-to-paycheck, barely able to pay bills, save for retirement, or pay down debt. Sharing this successful Estes Valley Library resource will make it is easier for others to address this issue Common Cents for Colorado originated as a financial education program funded locally in 2010 by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, in partnership with the American Library Association, through a program called Smart investing@your library® (smartinvesting.ala.org). Our program was led by Kurtis Kelly, a longtime Estes Valley Library staff member, and Marsha Yelick, a retired Chartered Financial Analyst with extensive experience in education.

The program was recognized for its positive impact within the community and was awarded a second three-year

grant from FINRA in 2012. Then in 2015 Estes Valley Library had the distinction of being chosen for a third FINRA grant, an unprecedented honor from a highly prestigious and competitive national program. Common Cents for Colorado was joined by two key state-level partners: CLiC (Colorado Library Consortium), acting as the program’s fiscal agent, and Colorado State Library, providing essential collaborative and technical support.

Estes Valley Library now serves as the financial-literacy hub for libraries across Colorado. Joined by participating libraries, the program has documented over 1,500 classes and counseling sessions and is predicted to reach over 13,000 Coloradoans before the close of program in August.

Kurtis and Marsha agree the new website fulfills a mission of the project: to make the program readily available to the public. They continually receive inquiries from libraries and universities across the country. Even the Treasury Department has sought advice from the program. The new website makes basic information available to all.

Residents still can benefit from Common Cents for Colorado classes. The core five-part workshop series is currently underway on Wednesdays, held at the Maude Jellison Library at the YMCA of the Rockies. The next session is “Key Investment Concepts” at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 19. No registration is required. Financial programs consultant Marsha Yelick is also available for personal one-on-one assistance through the Book-a-Librarian program. Contact Marsha for more information at 970-586-8116 ext. 831 or by email at myelick@estesvalleylibrary.org

Great Pets Need New Forever Homes

Sweet little old ladies, Holly and Sissy are still looking for forever retirement homes.

Holly keeps to herself a bit more so they are willing to try to separate them and see how they do. We know we have many compassionate, loving people in our community and are hoping someone can help them and give them new, forever homes.

Handsome Theodore is five years old and has huge feet, he is polydactyl. He is all about

being a lap cat, is super friendly and he loves belly rubs.

Beautiful Carla is about two years old and was abandoned on the highway by her previous owners. She walks nicely on a leash, is house trained, and seems to do well with kitties. She is looking for a foster or permanent adopter to help her through her four month heartworm treatment which will primarily consist of two months of very restricted exercise.

Sweet Kemah is about three years old, she is house trained and good with cats and other dogs. She is deaf. She is very afraid of fast movements so a home without small children will be best.

Corsica: Breathtaking Views And A Turbulent History The popular weekly Our Wonderful World series continues this Monday, July 17, with a presentation titled “Exploring Corsica.” Sponsored by the Estes Valley Library, the presentation takes place at 7:00 p.m. at the Estes Park High School Auditorium at 1600 Manford Avenue.

The island of Corsica now belongs to France but was originally ruled from Genoa, Italy. As a result, its culture exhibits strong elements of both countries. Despite its small size (just 110 miles north to south, and 50 miles at its widest), Corsica rises to nearly 9,000 feet at its highest point, and its famed GR 20 has the reputation of being one of the most challenging trekking routes in Europe.

The program will be led by Sunniva and Graham Russell, who spent three weeks in Corsica last spring, exploring the island’s intriguing and turbulent history. In the process, they enjoyed hiking along Corsica’s magnificent coastline and among its rugged mountains.

Chad Elliott To Perform At YMCA Of The Rockies

On Sunday, July 16, Chad Elliott will be the guest musician for the 10:00 a.m. worship in Hyde Chapel. He will also perform a concert at 7:00 p.m. in Hyde Chapel. The concert is free and open to the public.

In addition, Chad will be holding a workshop, “From the Journal to the Stage,” in Hyde Chapel on Sunday, July 16 at 1:00 p.m. This class is a backstage pass into the world of songwriting. Many people keep journals and perform an instrument, but when it comes to turning their poetry and thoughts into songs, they hit a wall. In this class, award-winning songwriter Chad Elliott will demystify the art of songwriting. He will help students break through that wall and

gain confidence to set their ideas to music. Neither the ability to perform an instrument nor poetry writing skill is necessary for this class.

Chad Elliott's life has served as fertile ground for music. Elliott has turned love, loss, fatherhood, divorce and homelessness into lyrics. He performs more than 200 shows each year and is lauded as “Iowa’s Renaissance man” by Culture Buzz. He has cultivated more than 1,000 songs in his career while also honing his skills as painter, sculptor and children's book author/illustrator (Wilderman’s Treetop Tales).

Elliott’s early career demonstrates a love of folk, roots and singer-songwriter music. He has worked with many greats and shared the stage with artists of the highest caliber, including Odetta, Tom Paxton, Loudon Wainwright III, R.L. Burnside, Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey, etc. Today, his songwriting has made a marked shift to Americana.

Elliott is currently working on his 21st album, titled “Ringgold.” This album is all about family, home and his life as a songwriter. It travels back to the roots of his hometown in Lamoni, IA. In fact, it is recorded in his grandparent’s home, which he purchased last fall. Elliott plans to release Ringgold in 2017.

To learn more about Chad Elliott and his music, visit chadelliott.net/promomaterials.html This Sunday service and concert are a part of the Chapel Ministry’s 2017 Summer Worship Fest program. Learn more about the YMCA Chapel Ministry and 2017 Summer Worship Fest at: ymcarockies.org/wp-content/uploads/ 2017/05/2017-Worship-Fest-Poster.pdf

Trietsch Memorial UMC Youth Choir To Perform At YMCA Of The Rockies On Wednesday, July 19, Trietsch UMC Uth Kwior (youth choir) will perform a concert at 7:00 p.m. in Hyde Chapel. The concert is free and open to the public.

The choir is a group of 45 6-12th graders. Their tour show is titled “Living Water” and will last about 30 minutes.

The choir is on their annual Summer Choir Tour. They are performing at different venues on their way to Estes Park, performing in retirement homes, churches, as well as in the Estes Park downtown area.

The Uth Kwior gathers for rehearsals throughout the year on Sunday afternoons. They prepare music to perform in worship as well as out in the community.

There are many opportunities for mis-

sion work within the group, such as serving the Denton State School and Salvation Army. The Uth Kwior holds several fundraisers throughout the year to support their annual Summer Choir Tour.

The Uth Kwior comes from the town of Flower Mound Texas located northwest of Dallas and northeast of Fort Worth.

Flower Mound has a population of 65,000.

This Sunday concert is a part of the Chapel Ministry’s 2017 Summer Worship Fest program. Learn more about the YMCA Chapel Ministry and 2017 Summer Worship Fest at: ymcarockies.org/wp-content/uploads/ 2017/05/2017-Worship-Fest-Poster.pdf

Art Classes Offered At The Old Gallery In Allenspark If you’ve thought about taking some art classes and just haven’t gotten around to it, now’s the time to act! There are a wide variety of art classes being offered this summer at The Old Gallery in Allenspark, just 20 minutes south of Estes Park.

“All classes are appropriate for beginners, so it’s easy to let your inner artist out,” said The Old Gallery Executive Director Elisabeth Sherwin.

Master gourd artist Vicki Dyas will be teaching three gourd art classes. A lifelong artist and teacher, she discovered her artistic home with gourd art more than 20 years ago.

You’ll learn how to create a pine needle gourd on Saturday, July 21, a gourd instrument on Friday, August 18 and a gourd with alcohol ink coloring technique on Saturday, Sept. 16. All classes take place from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and students should bring a sack lunch. Class fees are $60 per class, plus a $15 materials fee.

“These are not craft gourd classes, but rather, true art classes. Students will love the high quality of the project they will take home with them,” said Dyas. You can view photos of the class projects online at www.theoldgallery.org.

“I’ve taken six of Vicki’s classes over the years, and every time I walk out with a gourd that I can’t believe I created! I am so proud to display them in my home,” said Allenspark resident Holly Bea-Weaver.

The Old Gallery is a nonprofit organization. It is a center for the community and the arts, offering a wide variety of services and activities for the mountain community. Services include a twice-monthly food bank, Community Closet, monthly Soup Nights, Ladies Book Group, art classes, yoga and tai chi classes and more. For a complete list of activities visit www.theoldgallery.org.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire Station. It is approximately 20 minutes south of Estes Park and 25 minutes from Lyons. Carpooling to the event is encouraged. Parking is available on Highway 7 or in the parking lot next to the Allenspark Transfer Station.

For more information: contact Vicki Dyas at (303) 747-6272 or kiwisam62@gmail.com.
