EPNEWS.COM Quick!!!

O.K., on second thought no need to be quick. Name the great American Presidents.

(We capitalize the last word just for emphasis.) So who’s on your list?

Oh we know (being the journalistic “we.”)

Ah, there’s Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, probably one of the Roosevelts. I’ll bet most of the men you name presided over the country in a critical period of our history. First, we were becoming a new and independent nation; soon we faced an invasion by soldiers of the country we had separated from; then we were in a war among ourselves; and in the twentieth century we were being drawn into a global conflict --- eventually two global conflicts.

Other times in our history? Maybe that’s why we don’t hear much of John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Rutherford Hayes, Calvin Coolidge. Problems during their administrations appear, at least to us, far less significant. If that was true of the Presidents, imagine what it must have been like for their vice-presidents. And --honestly --- how many of them can you name? It’s probably safe to say that the only vice-presidents we can identify, even in our own life-time, are those who acceded to the presidency.

Let’s look at one of those. He was born in 1884 in Lamar, Missouri. His family moved to Independence (same state) where he grew up. For twelve years he was a farmer. Then along came World War One. He served as a captain in field artillery in France. Surviving the war he returned home, married Elizabeth Wallace, and opened a haberdashery in Kansas City. (For those who don’t like five syllable words, that’s a men’s clothing store.) Politics appealed to him, and he became active in the Democratic Party. In 1922 he was elected judge in Jackson County.

Twelve years later he, Harry S. Truman, was elected United States Senator.

During World War Two Truman chaired the Senate Investigating Committee which successfully exposed waste and corruption in the awarding of war contracts. When President Franklin Roosevelt ran successfully for an unprecedented fourth term in 1944 he selected Senator Truman as his running mate. But F.D.R. died suddenly on April 12, 1945, and Truman became the thirty-third President of the United States.

Adequately prepared for the top job?

Hardly. He had seen little of Roosevelt since the new term began. He had received no briefing on what was called a new atomic bomb. He wasn’t told of rising concerns about the Soviet Union. The Japanese leadership had rejected “requests” for their country’s surrender. Tru-

man remarked at his news conference “I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me.”

After consulting with the men who had been Roosevelt’s advisors he ordered atomic bombs dropped on the Japanese cities which had major responsibility for that country’s war materiel. Two were Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan surrendered shortly thereafter.

After the signing of the United Nations charter in June of 1945 Truman began to develop his own policies. He had till then been following Roosevelt’s. He now called for the expansion of Social Security and a full employment program.

That was followed by a Fair Employment Practices Act and measures for slum clearance and public housing. These came to be known as the Fair Deal, and Truman observed that he had finally become President in his “own right.”

In foreign affairs he also made his mark. When in 1947 the Soviet Union took military measures which appeared to threaten Turkey and also Greece Truman asked Congress to provide aid to those countries through what became known as the Truman Doctrine. He also called for assistance to western European nations struggling economically to recover from destruction during World War Two. Known as the Marshall Plan, named after Truman’s Secretary of State, it proved to be of tremendous benefit to those countries. When in 1948 Russia blockaded western sectors of Berlin, the President directed a major airlift to provide necessary supplies to Berliners. The following year he took the lead in forming the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a military alliance with western European countries.

In June of 1950 South Korea was invaded by forces from North Korea doubtless supplied by communist China and possibly Russia. Truman’s task became the difficult one of aiding South Korea, with aid from the United Nations organization, and hopefully without greatly antagonizing either China or Russia. Looking back, we can say he successfully kept that war a limited one. Remember that Truman became president upon the death of Franklin Roosevelt.

He was elected president in his own right in 1948. He could have run for re-election in 1952, but chose not to. He died, after lengthy illness, in Independence, Missouri, in December 1972, age 88.

My own recollections of Truman’s presidency are of his addressing his audiences in an atmosphere which seemed like one leader speaking personally to each of his countrymen. At some point, from his listeners, came the expression “Give ‘em hell, Harry.” In my memory it seems that he did --- but very pleasantly.

Public Meeting On July 20 To Discuss Summer Work On US 34 Canyon Impact to traffic could be 20-minute delays during the week as work begins in August The Colorado Department of Transportation and Kiewit Infrastructure Co. will host a public meeting at 6 p.m., Wednesday, July 20, to discuss impacts of work in the US 34 Canyon through the summer. The meeting will be at Ellis Ranch located at 2331 Ellis Ranch Ln, Loveland, CO 80538.

The meeting will include a formal presentation to educate the public about summer construction activities and traffic delays on US 34. Project representatives will clarify the traffic closures associated with work beginning in October, as well as an overview of the entire project.

It is important to note that at this meeting, CDOT will only be presenting information on summer construction and the traffic control plans starting in October.

The specifics of the permitting process for canyon residents and a detailed schedule for fall construction activities will not be provided. These topics will be further addressed in September once more information is available.

Beginning on July 18, Kiewit crews will start light construction, including work site mobilization and material trucking.

Starting this August, motorists will experience short-duration delays and traffic stops for rock-blasting and general construction operations between mile points 77 and 80 (from just east of Drake to the Cedar Cove area). CDOT will minimize these construction delays to intermittent closures of up to 20 - 30 minutes.

From late October through June 2017, the canyon will be closed to through-traf-

fic, however open to all drivers east of mile marker 80 and west of mile marker 77. Drivers should use the detour on US 36 and SH 66 to travel between Estes Park and Loveland to reach properties in the canyon. The only through-access on US 34 from late October through June 2017 will be for canyon residents and emergency services through a permit process.

In September, CDOT will distribute detailed information on how residents may obtain permits and how this process will work. Residents will be allowed through the canyon from 6 - 8:30 a.m. and 4 - 7 p.m.

US 34 Big Thompson Canyon was heavily damaged during the 2013 floods with many homes damaged and over 100 air lifted evacuations. The canyon and its residents also suffered from flooding in 1976. As a result of these two events, CDOT has been studying the hydraulic flow of the river in the canyon and its impact on the road and bridges along its path while looking for safety improvements and resiliency solutions to prevent/protect against future flood events.

CDOT Project Information: For updates to this project, the public may call (970) 667-1005 or visit us34canyon.codot.gov.

Small Fire Near Twin Sisters Trailhead In Rocky Mountain Nat’l. Park Contained Monday morning, July 11, Rocky Mountain National Park visitors notified officials that they saw smoke and flames near the Twin Sisters Trailhead. Estes Valley and Allenspark Fire Protection District and Rocky Mountain National Park firefighters responded to the scene.

The fire was contained to a 20 feet by 20 feet area. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The quick response from interagency partners made a difference in quickly suppressing and containing this fire.

There are always fire restrictions in place at Rocky Mountain National Park.

Campfires are only allowed within designated campfire rings at select locations in the park, including picnic areas and campgrounds.

Glen Haven Fire Department Pancake Breakfast This Saturday It’s that time of year again! This Saturday morning, July 16th don’t miss your chance to enjoy a delicious breakfast at the Glen Haven Firehouse. Hosted by the volunteer firefighters and auxiliary, breakfast will feature pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, juice and coffee for $6 for adults and $4 for children. It will be served from 7:00 to 11:00 and the event will include a bake sale and silent auction.

The recent structure fires make us more aware of the importance of the courageous and skilled men and women who give their time to preserve our communities.

During the Fox Creek fire in April, firefighters created a shuttle operation to transport water nearly a mile. Although they were unable to save the home, they did succeed in preventing the fire from spreading to neighboring homes and the adjacent forest. In March, the GHAVFD assisted with the apartment fire in Estes Park and the house fire in Drake, and in May with a wildfire on the Drake side of

Crosier Mountain. Clearly, we need the Glen Haven Area Volunteer Fire Department.

The annual Pancake Breakfast is a major source of revenue for the GHAVFD. Funds help support training programs and equipment maintenance.

The community of Glen Haven is neither a municipality nor a taxing district. Donations and grants are the sole source of funding for the Department. GHAVFD is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit Colorado corporation.

All contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

If you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation to GHAVFD, P. O. Box 53, Glen Haven, CO 80532.

EPNEWS.COM On Fridays during the summer I take day campers on hikes through the woods to help them appreciate the natural world around them. I teach them about butterflies (they’re solar powered) and juniper bushes (those little, dusty blue berries are really cones) and snails (they’re born with their shells on). I tell them that the prairie was flat as far as the eye could see, so all of the trees around them were planted by humans except for a lonely cottonwood here and there along the rivers.

I have them each touch the fuzzy, soft leaves of the mullein plant and tell them it is nicknamed “Mother Nature’s toilet paper.”

“Think about it,” I say. “The pioneers crossing the prairie in their covered wagons 150 years ago didn’t have a roll of Charmin tucked into the glove compartment. How would you like to use the leaves of this plant instead of toilet paper?” That always gets a rise out of the eight-yearolds. The boys seize the opportunity to say the word “butt” out loud and the camp counselors immediately scold them for it.

It happens every time.

Then in the high-noon heat of the day we cross a span of prairie and I ask them again to consider the life of the pioneers: no bug spray; no sunscreen; the girls in their long dresses getting snagged by grabby grasses; the boys wearing long pants and shirts buttoned up to the collar trudging through brome taller than they; no water bottles; no insulated lunch totes; no room on the wagon to ride when they got tired of walking; not a tree in sight—but plenty of grasshoppers, snakes, mice, and poison ivy.

Last Friday, one of those really smart kids who actually pays attention said, “But if poison ivy grows in the shade like you told us, and there were no trees, then there wouldn’t have been poison ivy.”

What he said made perfect sense, so where did the poison ivy come from? (Answer: Today it is found in all 50 states so it probably spread from shady spot to shady spot as trees were planted during the western migration.)

There is one place along the trail where we always stop because I know of a little treasure there. I pick it up as if I’d just discovered it for the first time and hold it high for everyone to see. It is a brown and white striped feather, about a foot long

On this day, July 15th In History

with a hollow quill as big around as a No. 2 pencil. I ask the campers to guess what bird it came from.

Eagle? Nope.

Hawk? Good guess.

Zebra? (lots of giggles) It’s a turkey feather!

“Can I have it?” one of the campers asks.

Every single time. Without fail, somebody asks if he or she can take our feather home.

In Richard Louv’s national best-seller Last Child in the Woods (Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder) we learn about how direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development.

Parents send their kids to day camp to expose them to the miracles of the out-ofdoors and for the resulting physical and emotional health.

We don’t bring nature to them in their homes, we bring them out of their homes and into nature. We want them to admire turkey feathers but in the wild, not collecting dust on a shelf or laying long-forgotten in the bottom of a toy box.

This predictable “Can I have it?” pattern confounds me. I’m thrilled that so many children are enthralled with the natural world enough to want to take a little bit of it with them, but I wonder why it isn’t enough to simply observe it, learn from it, and leave it alone. What drives us to want to capture it, secure it, and label it “mine”?

This phenomenon doesn’t go away when we grow up. It grows. Think of the animal mounts we see hanging on the walls of homes and businesses, for example. Conquered!

I nestle the feather back into the grass and lead the group of campers away from the place where I found it. Usually there is one kid who lingers in the back. He waits until the group has moved down the trail a bit, and steps closer to the treasure. From the front of the pack I watch him eye the feather, then look up at me looking at him.

Our eyes lock for a brief second. He hesitates, glances at the feather again, then runs to catch up. The feather is preserved one more time for the next group of hikers.

Native American Style Flute Player Scott August Returns To Performance Park This Saturday July 16!

Back by popular demand! The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies is again proud to present the multi-instrumentalist Scott August to the Performance Park stage at 7 p.m. on July 16th. August, an awarding winning composer and Native American style flute player, is known for his evocative soundscapes combining world and ambient musical styles. The music August creates and performs "is contemporary new age/world music…[with] flutes as the main melodic instrument.”

August’s music has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Native American Music Award (NAMMY), and an Indian Summer Music Award. His albums Lost Canyons and Hidden Journey both won a Zone Music Reporter Award for Best Native album, while his 2010 album Radiant Sky was nominated for best New Age album of the year –a rarity for an album released in the Native Inspired Music genre. In 2009, his DVD, Ancient Light, aired on the PBS network. In addition to his recordings August is the author of four books, a popular blog and runs the Santa Fe Flute School.

His music is regularly featured on the nationally syndicated radio shows “Hearts of Space” and “Echoes” and on the digital networks XM, Sirius, DISH and DirecTV. August began his musical training on cello and piano, and became interested in world music when he was given an African kalimba at age 10. He discovered Native American style flutes in 1996 during a trip to the Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico. The flute’s haunting sound captivated him, and he soon began adding them to his recordings. In 2001 he founded his record label Cedar Mesa Music. See his website at www.cedarmesa.com.

August has also composed music and sound design for hundreds of films, commercials and video projects for clients such as NASA, The Discovery Channel, Lexus, Chevrolet, HBO, Nabisco, and Minolta. The Los Angeles Times has called his music "shimmering and luminous.” August currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The Fine Arts Guild invites residents and visitors to enjoy a Saturday summer evening and a very special performance July 16th at 7 p.m.. Performance Park is located at 417 W. Elkhorn in Estes Park.

The concert is free, but donations for EPHS scholarships are gratefully accepted.

Wolfwood’s mission was to provide a safe refuge for unwanted and homeless wolves and wolf/dogs. Today, all animals live on 40 acres in Ignacio, CO in very large enclosed areas. All efforts are made to provide the best physical, mental, social and psychological environment for each animal. The refuge receives no Federal or State funds and is grateful to have the support of over 35 volunteers. All donations are applied directly toward the care of the wolves and wolf/dogs.

WolfWood Refuge provides comprehensive information and education on wolf and wolf/dog behavior and the issues surrounding them. Our extensive out-

reach programs are given free of charge to over sixty schools and organizations annually, with projects often focusing on at-risk youth.

There are currently over 60 wolves and wolf/dogs housed at WolfWood. We are one of the few wolf refuges still accepting animals.

There will be lots of new Wolfwood items for sale with 100% of the profits going to the refuge.

Visit: www.wolfwoodrefuge.org to learn more about the refuge.

Please do not bring dogs.

A $6.00 daily entrance permit is required for the park fee. Hermit Park graciously donates the space for wolfwood to make this visit each year.

Why We Relay The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. It’s a lifechanging experience.

At Relay, every person in the community has a chance to celebrate, remember, and fight back. And every person who participates joins others around the globe as part of this worldwide movement to end cancer.

Everyone's reason to Relay is as unique as their own personal story. At Relay, you can find healing, comfort, and support from others who have faced cancer or who have lost a loved one to the disease. You have a chance to meet people in the community who are equally as passionate about finding an end to cancer in our lifetime. You can thank all the people who have done so much to support you through your personal cancer experience. And you can gather together with friends, family, and colleagues to laugh, cry, and create lasting memories.

No matter why you take part in Relay,

however, one thing is clear: with every step you take, you are helping the American Cancer Society save lives.

With your help, we aren’t just fighting one type of cancer – we’re fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community.

The Estes Valley Relay for Life will be at the Estes Park High School stadium on Saturday, July 16 starting at 2:00 p.m.

If you would like to start a team, learn more about Relay for Life or just make a tax-deductable donation, you can visit our web site at www.estesparkrelay.org.

Please contact Jonathan Hodde at jonhodde@icould.com or you may call our American Cancer Society representative Megan Clarkson at 970-350-5018 to get more information about the Relay.

Finally, Relay doesn’t mean you have to be fit and running constantly around the track – although we do have teams that do! If you’d like to just come out and join us for a couple of hours, have a slice of pizza and remember a cancer victim, then we’d love to have you. Help us find a cure.

Glen Haven Historical Society Program July 17

Even had this building housed a Cheesecake Factory, Fred Sprague's Dunraven Park was almost certainly destined to fail. Photo courtesy Duke Sumonia collection

We tend to believe our ancestors were intelligent people, with sense enough not to squander money on losing business propositions.

So why did Denver realtor Fred Sprague pay the Simmons brothers $12,000 in 1908 for land and a few primitive cottages north of Glen Haven, so far removed from easy access, even a decent cart path, and expect to make a go of it?

Was he a sucker, a luckless prospector, a purveyor of illicit adventure, or a visionary, decades ahead of his time in the destination resort field, but ultimately short

on investors and cash?

The Glen Haven Historical Society and Estes Park Archives spokesperson John Meissner will explore these questions this Sunday, July 17, at 1:00 p.m. at the Glen Haven fire house. Come celebrate the completion of the marvelously refinished North Fork road, a road Fred Sprague desperately could have used.

Everyone is cordially invited to enjoy this free "Deserted Village" program, plus the free dessert to follow. Call 970586-4889 for directions or more information.

The Reliance Fire Museum Open House This Saturday, July 16

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 and fire fighter associations. It is also a place that a fine collection of old trucks now make their permanent homes.

This Saturday, July 16th, the Reliance Fire Museum is offering public tour hours from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. 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-ofa-kind 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!)

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 one mile

up Elm Road to the Museumit’s the building with a fire truck in the driveway at 460 Elm Road. Parking is available behind the shop if necessary- where 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!

Think Before You Ink Signing Petitions is Not Necessarily a Civic Duty As a general election approaches, voters are often asked to sign a variety of initiative petitions "just to get it on the ballot so people can vote on it." This reasoning is inadequate; your signature should be considered at least as valuable as your vote. Far fewer signatures are required to qualify an initiative for the ballot than votes for it to pass.

To help you decide whether or not to sign a petition, the League of Women Voters of Colorado offers these points to consider: Is it complex? Some issues can be decided by a simple "yes" or "no" vote, but complex issues need to be thoroughly examined and debated in a legislative arena-not a grocery store parking lotbefore writing onto a ballot. Some initiatives are not well written, or contain conflicts that may require court resolution or interpretation.

Whose idea is it? You can find out the designated representatives and registered issue committees on the Secretary of State's website at www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/

lnitiatives/titleBoard/index.html.

All signature gatherers are required to wear a badge that identifies them as "volunteer circulator" or "paid circulator." If the signature gatherer is not wearing a badge, do not sign. If s/he is a paid circulator, the badge should also give the name and phone number of whoever hired her/him.

How will it be funded? An unfunded mandate, or a recall of an elected official who will be up for reelection soon anyway, may impact other essential programs by diverting budget funds.

Does it belong in the Constitution? If an initiative intends to amend the U.S. or state Constitution, consider whether it really belongs there. Is it a fundamental right or principle that should be protected from change? Correcting a constitutional amendment requires another constitutional amendment-and another vote of the people-which is cumbersome and costly.

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, promotes informed and active participation in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

Mayor’s Hat Helps Hunger Photo by Susan Williams.

Pictured (right to left) are Ted Williams of Colorado Hats and Company, Estes Park Mayor Todd Jirsa, Rev. Dr. Tim McLemore of Crossroads Ministry.

When newly-elected Mayor Todd Jirsa considered the best way to mark his milestone in public service, he soon decided to earmark his first “official” paycheck for a new hat. And he knew just who to turn to for the colorful request.

“Todd and I have been friends for many, many years,” said Ted Williams of Colorado Hats and Company. “When he asked me to make a hat in celebration of his election as mayor,” Williams continued, “I quickly agreed, with one proviso – that all proceeds from the hat go to Crossroads Ministry.”

Williams and the Colorado Hat family have been making quality custom hats in Estes Park for more than 20 years. “I appreciate all that Crossroads Ministry does for this community,” Williams said.

“It is my privilege to help out in this small way.”

Mayor Jirsa stopped by Colorado Hats on a recent morning for an informal presentation of the check from Ted and Susan Williams to Crossroads Ministry’s

Executive Director, Tim McLemore. “I wore the hat just last night at the Rooftop Rodeo,” he said.

“An old expression about the likelihood of something happening (or not happening),” remarked McLemore, “goes like this: ‘If such-and-such actually comes to pass, I’ll eat my hat!’ Happily, in this case, Colorado Hats and Mayor Jirsa managed to help address hunger in our community in a far more beneficial way!”

Crossroads Ministry appreciates the Town of Estes Park and Colorado Hats, along with many other local businesses, churches, civic organizations, and individual donors, for helping Crossroads help persons in need in our community.

For more information about Crossroads Ministry, contact Rev. Dr. Tim McLemore, Executive Director, 970-5770610, tim@crossroadsep.org.

The mission of Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park, Inc., is to practice Christian love by providing basic human services for Estes Valley residents in need.

All my company has gone and I am back to my regular lifestyle. I really enjoyed all of them, my two sons and daughter and families were all here for the Fourth, we only missed Theresa and her bunch so we had a mini family reunion. But life has to resume, so here I am alone and enjoying the peace and quiet. Well not exactly. Lexie was a junior princess in the rodeo so I had the pleasure of attending the rodeo two nights last week and Greg and Cecelia had me for dinner Monday and I always have playtime with my dog Sunshine.

Our marathon bridge group, had a closing party for the season at Audrey and Ken’s home where winners and runner ups were announced. The winners have to run the next group year. Yay, we came in second and in the money but do not have the “fun” of running it. My bridge partner, Bob, and I had to do that two years ago and I gave him strict instructions not to win! We had to each bring something for the meal and I had a new recipe that I was anxious to try. I am happy to report that it was a great success.

"Roly Poly” Pizza Makes 12 Preheat over to 375 degrees One roll of prepared thick pizza dough 3/4 cup marinara sauce (store bought)

1 pkg. of sliced pepperoni (about 4 ounces.)

8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese 1 Tbs. grated parmesan cheese plus some for topping.

Fresh basil for topping Stretch dough into a large rectangle, about 9 x 11 or a little larger. Do this on a floured surface. Spread sauce all the way to the edge except leave an inch on one of the long sides without sauce. Top with the pepperoni, cheeses and roll into a tight log, starting at long side and seal.

Cut into 12 equal slices. Spray muffins tins generously with Pam and place rolls in the pan. Sprinkle with a little more parmesan and bake 30 minutes. Check and bake another 20-30 minutes. If browning too much, cover with foil. You can use paper liners but spray them well.

I happened to have silicon muffin liners and they worked beautifully, popping out the pizza rolls like a dream. Top with a leaf of basil or a sprinkle of dried basil.

These were the hit of the party, so easy to make.

Veteran craft fair artist Karen Dick will have her pottery for sale. Karen has participated in the YMCA summer craft fair as early as 1997. The majority of her work is stoneware, which is not only beautifully colored and patterned, but also functional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have worked in clay for over thirty years now and the fascination of making pots has never faded for me. I hope that my love of working in this medium is conveyed in my pots,â&#x20AC;?

Karen said.

THE FRESH SMELL OF INTEGRITY It was a lovely autumn day in Columbus, Ohio. The Metropolitan Armored truck was tooling along Interstate 71. The interstate was bustling with traffic. Unknown to the driver and guard in the truck, the rear door suddenly swung open. Money began pouring out like the first snow of the season. Bills of all denominations filled the air and floated onto the highway and adjacent area—hundreds of thousands of dollars. Amazed drivers slammed on their brakes and scooped up money like kids gathering snow for a snowman. More than a million dollars was lost as people filled their pockets. But one man was different, Melvin Kiser, a Ohio Bell Telephone technician picked up a sack containing $57,000 in smaller bills. He turned it in to the Armored truck company and was rewarded with a citation and cash reward. Most picking up money kept it. Others wished they had been there so that they could have gained some ‘quick cash’.

Our world has an integrity shortage. Business executives skim company funds for personal use. Highly visible religious and secular leaders raise money for one purpose and spend it on another, usually themselves. Political figures accept money for political favors. Athletes shave points and take steroids. Marriage partners cheat on one another. Students cheat on tests. Our world could certainly use a ‘fresh smell’…the welcome smell of integrity.

We need, first of all, to examine ourselves and determine our own level of integrity.

Someone has said that ‘everyone has a price’. In other words, they contend that all of us would do some unscrupulous things if the price were high enough. Is that true about you? As we look at our political races and evaluate those candidates running in this election, is that true about them?

Who are the ones that we feel have this quality of integrity? Here are some gauges by which we can evaluate ourselves and those we are choosing to lead our state or nation: (1) A person of integrity doesn’t blame others for his own shortcomings. He doesn’t say, “Look what you made me do.” Someone has written: “He lost his job, he wrecked his car. But he took his troubles like a man and blamed them all on his wife.”

(2) A person of integrity holds to his convictions under all circumstances. He does not consider what others will think or what reward he might get or what punishment it will bring.

(3) A person of integrity values honor above cost.

(4) A person of integrity values right above reward. Henry Clay, a nineteenth-century statesman, seemed almost certain to become America’s next president until he took an unpopular position on a hot political question. He lost due to it. When he died these words were carved on his tombstone: ‘I’d rather be right than president.” That’s the fresh smell of integrity.

(5) A person of integrity acts in the best interest of his fellowman. The real definition of love involves seeking the best for the object of that love. If it doesn’t serve others’ interests, it isn’t love.

And it isn’t right. In the upcoming election we are looking for men / women who love this nation and its people and who act according to that love.

(6) A person of integrity seeks the will of God in all things. Just before the cross, Jesus prayed, “Father, not my will but yours be done.” As we face our nation’s challenge, the upcoming election, I trust that you and I will be praying, “Father, not my will but yours be done. Please help us choose the right people to lead our great nation.” God bless America! Bob

Don’t Miss Seven Keys To Baldpate

The Baldpate Outdoor Key-thedral Theater in cooperation with The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies is proud to present our outdoor live story theater production of “Seven Keys to Baldpate.”

The performance will be offered on Friday the 15th and Saturday the 16th as an evening performance at 7:00 p.m. On Sunday, July 17th the play will run as a matinee at 3:00 p.m.

A bestselling author plans to win a bet by writing a novel in less than 24 hours.

Seeking solitude, she goes to a summer resort in the dead of winter but her stay at the Baldpate Inn is interrupted by a steady stream of visitors…each bearing “the only key to the Baldpate in existence.” Crooked politicians, bribe money, blackmail, true love, betrayal, double cross, a reporter’s news scoop, and a friendly wager collide in this mys-

terious, melodramatic farce.

This iconic mystery novel was written

by Earl Derr Biggers and first transformed into a stage play by the legendary American playwriter George Cohen and debuted on Broadway in NYC in 1917.

Plan now to attend our story theater performance directed by Jim Valone.

Please feel welcome to join us for lunch or dinner before the production. The Baldpate Inn’s unique soup and salad buffet is a dining experience you won’t want to miss or simply join us for a slice of pie before the play! Dinner and group packages are available, please call for tickets and package information or buy tickets online at BaldpateInn.com For more information, visit Events@BaldpateInn.com or call 970586-KEYS (5397).

David Mitchell Boyd And Peggy Mann To Perform For The CAC Night Live Series Next Week

For the 18th year this summer, the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park is presenting free concerts for the public through its Night LIVE! concert series.

Concerts will be held each Wednesday and Thursday night - rain or shine through August 25.

David Mitchell Boyd will be performing on Wednesday, July 20, and Peggy Mann will perform on Thursday, July 21.

Concerts will be performed at Performance Park in Estes Park and begin at 7 p.m. This amazing outdoor venue is accessible to all who would like to attend; lawn chairs, blankets, umbrellas and layered clothing are recommended for comfort.

The shows are sponsored by the CAC and generous support from Coldwell Banker (Mary Murphy, Vicky Holler & Wayne Newsom), Mueller & Associates, and The Barrel; free will donations from those attending are appreciated to keep this program thriving. For more information, visit www.estesarts.com Wednesday, July 20 -David Mitchell Boyd When David Boyd was two years old he began to take an interest in music when his grandfather made him a banjo. He would play it until his parents took the banjo away because his fingers were becoming bloody. The guitar came into focus later when at age eleven David switched to six strings from cello due to the influence of two guitar playing uncles and the Beatles. In the course of the years that followed David has explored various musical genres including rock, blues, jazz, classical and “experimental expressionism.”

From 1994 to 2006 David, with wife Lisa and family, had the privilege of living in Vienna, Austria where exposure to the European art scene has expanded his creative horizons to include collaborations with artists of various disciplines such as dance, drama and visual art.

Having moved back to Colorado as of June of 2006, David is excited to bring his music to the stage in Rocky Mountain region and beyond. The current shows are mixed instrumental and vocal

concerts that bring humor alongside of virtuosity on the guitar. The mix of styles ranges from blues and rock to “acoustic experimental expressionism” – David’s term for an approach to playing music that aims to “play” ideas, emotions, and pictures; often as an interpretation of spoken word art. A full length theater show, called “GuitART,” features seven guitars, multi-media and dramatic storytelling, performed at Bas Bleu Theater in Fort Collins in January 2010. A further project is a Colorado-based lineup for “Davey and the Blu Dog” – a blues rock band featuring David’s electric guitar skills and bluesy vocals.

Thursday, July 21- Peggy Mann "I'm not just a singer," said Peggy Mann, "I'm a songwriter and performer too!"

Mann's early background was in musical theater where as a child and young adult she was the lead in Sound of Music and Annie Get Your Gun. She also sang in church and in school choir, where she honed her skills for what would become a lifelong career.

She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, raised in Downers Grove, IL, and has lived in Colorado for her adult life; she currently resides in Grand Lake.

Mann grew up in a very musical family; her father played piano by ear and her aunt was a music and vocal teacher in Minnesota. "I do however believe that my voice is a gift given to me from God!" Mann said.

"It was clear from the moment I was born that music was to be my destiny. I started singing and performing at the ripe old age of seven and never stopped!

I remember as a young girl singing at the top of my lungs in my bedroom mirror and my mom yelling upstairs to me that it was time for dinner. My dad used to tell me there was no singing at the table!"

Over the past 10 years, she's recorded 10 CDs; the last one was recorded in Nashville under producer Monty Powell.

Man has recorded over 250 radio commercials in Colorado and California; and, has performed the National Anthem twice for the Colorado Rockies.

Fundraising Gaining Momentum For The Wellness Center At Estes Park By: Kevin L. Mullin, EPMC Foundation Executive Director

Fundraising results for EPMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wellness Center are beginning to develop. For some it may seem like a long time coming. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably because they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar with the amount of preliminary work necessary before a campaign of this size can begin.

There has been a lot accomplished since 2014 when voters approved the sale of Lot 4 to the Grand Heritage Hotel Group/Stanley Hotel for this project. With the strong base thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been built and the continued dedication of the EPMC Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellness steering committee, the last four months of active fundraising has resulted in 19 gifts and pledges. Leadership at the Medical Center and Foundation are pleased with that progress and optimistic with where things are headed.

To raise the extent of funds needed for this project, a solid business/operating plan for the facility, programming and costs was needed, in addition to having detailed benefits and community impacts fleshed out. Developing the programs and services to be offered took

substantial work and detailed contract negotiations with partners. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resulted is a perfect fit for our unique setting that combines scientifically-proven methods, innovative technology and an advanced understanding of the interplay of physiology, psychology and spiritual well-being.

Al-

though last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure of leadership at both the Medical Center and Foundation slowed progress and re-

quired alterations to the time-line, assistance from an experienced consultant established the necessary fundraising infrastructure and systems needed to move forward. A key

piece to this campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success was established in January, 2016, when a Wellness Steering Committee was formed with a single focus of executing the fundraising strategy. The committee, chaired by Wayne Park, is comprised of Foundation Board Members, Park Hospital District Board Members, and community leaders.

We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the momentum thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to build if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for all of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;behind-the-scenesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; effort that has taken place over the last two years. I am extremely grateful for all of the individuals who have invested their time, effort and personal finances in this project. As a seven-figure fundraising campaign using a donor-centric fundraising model, we can expect this to be a multi-year commitment with hundreds of donors.

In addition to the level of detail we are now able to provide about the Wellness Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs, clientele and facilities, we are starting to have a track-record with providing similar services within our own community and The for EPMC staff.

EVICS Parents As Teachers Program Celebrates Graduates On June 23 Parents As Teachers (P.A.T.), a program of Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS), celebrated the beginning of summer with a family picnic. The celebration not only kicked off a summer of P.A.T. playgroup fun, but also honored two graduates of the early learning, parent support program. The families of Grace Bergman and Bryson Millner were celebrated during a graduation ceremony with a “Pete the Cat” theme. Families enjoyed a cookout together and danced to Pete’s groovy song about heading to Kindergarten!

P.A.T. is a free support program for families with children aged prenatally through their Kindergarten year. Through home visitation, parents receive information and support that enhances their child’s development and strengthens the family unit.

P.A.T. believes parents are their child’s first teachers and strives to provide the resources and support needed as they navigate their parenting journey. P.A.T. currently has openings and welcomes families to contact Kristen Berg, kberg@evics.org, for more information about signing up for the program.

The picnic celebration was generously supported by: Poppy’s Pizza and Grill, Presbyterian Church of the Rockies and

the Estes Valley Library. Thank you to all of the donors and for all the families who joined us to celebrate summer and P.A.T. graduating families. Like Pete says, “It’s ALL good !”

El Programa Padres como Maestros de EVICS Celebra sus Graduados El Programa Padres como Maestros (PAT) de EVICS (Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success), celebró el comienzo del verano con un picnic familiar el 23 de junio. La celebración no sólo dio inicio al Grupo de Jugar del verano de PAT, sino también honró dos graduados de este programa de apoyo para padres con hijos de la edad de la primera infancia. Las familias de Grace Bergman y Bryson Millner se celebraron durante una ceremonia de graduación

con el tema de "Pete el Gato". Las familias disfrutaron de una comida al aire libre, y bailaron al ritmo de una canción que celebra la transición a kindergarten.

Padres como Maestros es un programa de apoyo gratuito para familias con hijos de la etapa prenatal hasta que terminen kindergarten. A través de visitas a los hogares, los padres de familia reciben información y apoyo que mejora el desarrollo de sus hijos y fortaleza la unidad familiar. PAT cree que los padres son los primeros maestros de sus hijos y se esfuerza por ofrecer los recursos y el apoyo necesarios para la crianza de sus hijos.

Actualmente, el programa Padres como Maestros tiene espacio e invita a familias interesadas en participar a ponerse en contacto con Kristen Berg, kberg@evics.org, para obtener más información sobre cómo registrarse en el programa.

La celebración del picnic familiar fue generosamente apoyada por el restaurante, Poppy’s Pizza and Grill, la iglesia, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies y la Biblioteca de Estes Valley. ¡Gracias a todos los donantes y a todas las familias que participaron en la celebración del verano y de los graduados del programa! Al igual que Pete dice: "Está todo bien!”

“Meet The Artisan” Leah DeCapio At Monday Artisans Market "Meet the Artisan" celebrates our wonderful and talented local artisans at the Monday Artisans Market. Join us each Monday, 10:00 4:00, June, July and August, at Riverside Plaza, and celebrate our local artisans.

"Meet the Artisan" brings together local and talented artisans to showcase their work. The event is free and open to the public. Every artist has a story. Meet the artisan in person, hear their stories and the inspiration behind their work.

This week's featured artisan is Leah DeCapio. Leah creates beautiful, one of a kind ceramics with her husband Scott. Each piece is first shaped on a potter’s wheel or by hand by Scott.

Leah then paints the entire piece black and carves the designs into the clay. Each piece is an original, no stencils are used! From here, the piece goes through a series of firings (and some are adorned with metal work and handmade glass beads).

Their studio is very “green” too: their electricity is powered by wind and water!

Leah Simmons DeCapio has made art all of her life. She received a Studio Arts Degree (with an emphasis in Ceramics) and an Anthropology Degree from the University of Colorado. Today, she lives and creates in the mountains of Colorado. Her work is inspired by the beauty of nature around her, family and friends, and the smiles offered by strangers!

Scott DeCapio is a self-taught potter. His educational background is in Biology, from Johnson State in Vermont. In recent years, his passion for mountain climbing has taken him on multiple expeditions to Alaska and places as far away as Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan. When not traveling, he divides his time between the mountains and in the studio with Leah.

All of their functional work is food-safe. We do not recommend putting them in the microwave and prefer that they be hand-washed.

The Monday Artisans Market offers a unique opportunity to enjoy and support local artisans. We are all about local art, local artisans, and our unique stories about our art, that makes each and every one of us unique. The Monday Artisans Market connects Estes Park residents, businesses, tourists and the arts within our community. Stop by, say hi, meet the artisans, see their labor of love, and hear their story.

Buy Local. Buy Art.

Preview Of Music Festival Concert July 18 By: Derald DeYoung

The first concert of the Colorado Music Festival’s Chamber Orchestra from Boulder will be on Monday July 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Stanley Concert Hall.

Vadim Gluzman, a world class Ukrainian-born Israeli violin virtuoso and artist in residence at CMF will be both soloist and conductor of the orchestra from the concertmaster’s chair at this first concert. Gluzman has appeared with many of the major orchestras in this country and Europe. He plays on a Stradivari violin from 1690 previous owned by the famous violinist Leopold Auer.

Gluzman will perform the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3 with the orchestra as well as Mozart’s Adagio and Fugue in C minor which he will conduct from the concertmaster’s chair.

The Violin Concerto is typically Mozart in its rich outpouring of melody in the first movement. The slow second movement is followed by a finale movement of dance like and folkish sounding melodies.

The concert will open with music by the Russian 20th century composer, Alfred Schnittke. His Suite in the Old Style which was originally written for violin and piano will be played in a version for string orchestra. This suite which is in five short movements entitled, Pastorale, Ballet, Minuet, Fugue and Pantomime, is in a very accessible style for the listener.

The program will conclude with Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony.

Shostakovich is the most renowned Russian composer of the 20th century.

The Chamber Symphony is a version of his string quartet No. 8 which he wrote in three days in 1960. It quotes from six of his own previous works and includes the four-note motto that stood for his initials as well as quoting themes from Tchaikovsky and Wagner. This is an extremely powerful work which elicits a great emotional response. This concert has great variety and will be a stimulating beginning to the three summer orchestral concerts.

Tickets: Individual concert tickets: $30 each (cash or check). Children and students admitted free. Tickets available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. on the day of the concert or in advance at Macdonald Book Shop, 152 E.

Party To Honor Dr. James Pickering

Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation will honor James H. Pickering, PhD at their Centennial BBQ & Hoedown, Saturday, August 27 at the YMCA of the Rockies. Pickering, a life-long academician, has authored 31 books on the history of Estes Park and the American West. He is also the compiler and editor of numerous anthologies and collegelevel texts on American literature.

Regarding this honor, Jerry Kennell, Board President of Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation said, “Jim Pickering was an obvious choice to receive this honor during the Centennial year of the Estes Valley Library. His commitment to the life and history of the community and his life-long involvement as a professor of English and administrator in higher education underscore everything that the library is about in our community.”

Among his many community leadership engagements, Pickering is a Member of the Board and Chair of the Nominating Committee of the Friends & Foundation. He also serves as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Estes Park

Economic Development Corporation, and on the boards of the Rocky Mountain Performing Arts Center, the Estes Park Museum Foundation, and the Rocky Mountain Conservancy (as Vice President). He also serves on the Editorial Board of the Estes Park TrailGazette.

The Centennial BBQ & Hoedown will feature barbecue by Smokin’ Dave’s and music by the award winning bluegrass band Chain Station. In addition to honoring Pickering, the event will include Special Centennial Recognition for the Estes Park Woman’s Club, the organization that founded the library in 1916 and operated it throughout most of its history. Proceeds of the event will go to the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation Endowment Fund, with the first $25,000 in gifts matched 1:1 by a generous gift from Bob and Ludie Dickeson.

Tickets for the BBQ & Hoedown are available online at http://weblink.donorperfect.com/EVL100BBQ or by contacting Sara Walsh, Estes Valley Library Development Officer at (970) 586-8116 ext.

Religion & Philosophy Meeting On Thursday, July 21, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. in the Senior Center, the Religion and Philosophy Group will meet to view an 86 minute video called Awake, The Life of Yogananda. This is described as “an unconventional biography about the Hindu swami who brought yoga and meditation to the West in the 1920s.” Parmahansa Yogananda authored the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, which has sold millions of copies worldwide and is a go-to book for seekers, philosophers, and yoga enthusiasts today. By personalizing his own quest for enlightenment and sharing his struggles along the path, Yogananda made ancient Vedic teachings accessible to a modern audience, attracting many followers and inspiring the millions who practice yoga today.

Filmed over three years with the par-

ticipation of thirty countries around the world, the documentary explores why millions today have turned their attention inwards in pursuit of Self-realization.”

The last meeting of the Religions and Philosophy Group will be August 18 .

This final meeting will serve as a remembrance of George Guthrie, one of the founders of the Group, as well as Sid Waldman, Gene Daley and others.

Please come to share your thoughts and memories of the many topics the group has given and of the people mentioned.

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 Margaret at 970-586-2290.

Thank You For Painting Estes Pink!

As I come to know the Estes Park community, residents and businesses, I’ve been struck by several things: the tremendous generosity, caring spirit, and enthusiasm for supporting a community cause. The solidarity behind Paint Estes Pink week was impressive. To all who showed support by adding pink to our Town’s landscape, wearing the rosy color, placing a donation jar in their business, and donating to support EPMC’s Oncology Department, I send a heartfelt thank you!

We appreciate all of the work by the Paint Estes Pink committee members: Ben Vigil, Adam Shake, Charley Dickey, Mike Romero, Kerrie Hill, Kellen Toulouse, Greg Muhonen, Rob Hinkle, Adam Cocannon, Amy Vigil, Gary Hazelton, and Alan Carrette. We are also thankful for the support from each of the event’s collaborating organizations: Estes Park Western Heritage (hosts of the Rooftop Rodeo), The Stanley Hotel, the Estes Park Trail-Gazette, Estes Valley Partners for Commerce, Town of Estes Park, Estes Park Economic Development Corporation and Visit Estes Park.

Of the 71 businesses that placed “Estes Park Gives Cancer the Boot” jars on their counters to collect donations, there were two whose efforts really stood out – The Barrel beer garden doubled their customers’ donations with a corporate match and the Mountain Home Café hosted 32 donation jars (one for each table at the restaurant). By matching what was collected in their five jars, The Barrel was the business that brought in the largest amount of donations. Following their lead in the order of amount raised was EP Times & Old Fashioned Candy (including a generous check from the owners), Mountain Home Café,

Rocket Fizz, Simply Christmas, Macdonald Book Shop, Casa Grande Mexican Restaurant, the Estes Park TrailGazette, and Main Street T’s. Together, all of the participating Estes Park businesses used 107 jars to collect $1,131.69 for EPMC’s Oncology Department. This amount exceeded what was collected last year.

Rooftop Rodeo ticket proceeds totaling $2,500 from Saturday’s Tough Enough to Wear Pink night were also donated to the EPMC Foundation to benefit the Medical Center’s Oncology Department.

All of the donations will remain local, benefiting oncology care provided to EPMC patients who are being treated for any form of cancer.

While the monetary contributions are important and appreciated, they are one of several ways that the Town came out in support of the Medical Center during this event. I am extremely grateful for all of the Foundation’s partners and friends.

The Bank of Colorado won the storefront decoration contest with their window display, pink lawn flamingos, and staff all dressed in pink. Other businesses in the decorating contest that deserve recognition are: Bank of Estes Park, Colorado Homestead, Estes Park Feed & Supply, Rocket Fizz, The Stanley Hotel and the Estes Park Trail-Gazette.

My first experience of the Town’s efforts to Paint Estes Pink and “give cancer the boot” was amazing. On behalf of the EPMC Oncology Department and all of the individuals and families they serve, thank you for your generous support!

Sincerely, Kevin Mullin EPMC Foundation Executive Director

Impressions From Cuba

Page 33

• Greater tax and budget authority being directed to lower levels of government • A decreasing state payroll • Expansion of private markets • Increase in real estate ownership • Reduction in government subsidies • Increase foreign investment By: Rene Moquin

For the past four years I have volunteered with Global Volunteers in the country of Poland. This year I decided to venture into Cuba to teach conversational English for two weeks. Some initial impressions are worth noting.

My first impression was when our plane landed in Santa Clara. Upon landing applause was evident throughout the plane: families visiting, vacationing or reuniting with families after long periods of time. For Cubans, it was a time to celebrate. For us Americans it was the venturing into a country isolated for fifty plus years.

I don’t know if any of us were prepared for the heat and humidity. I am sure sweating is good for the soul.

I worked with several students including Paula, a 41 year old Cuban nurse who lost her husband less than a month ago to cancer. Paula was quite willing to share her loss with me.

Laughter seemed to be the glue that bonded our relationship. As my colleagues will attest, the range of English proficiency among the students varied widely but they were most eager to learn. During one evening class I noticed that there was laughter at each table. At that point I knew we had bonded with our students; our new friends.

Although I tend to be positive regarding coming changes to Cuba, again views among the students varied widely. Time will tell. Isolation best describes the country of Cuba: politically, economically, culturally and in terms of infrastructure. The various forms of transportation speak to this isolation: American cars of the 40s, bikes, scooters, horse drawn buggies, busses, trains, etc.

The City of Ciego de Avila seems to be charming, peaceful town, frozen in time.

Let’s hope that Cubans do not lose that charm.

Change is already happening including:

Tranquil Riverfront Cabin • Addressing the budget deficit The issue is not whether changes is coming but in what form-probably something between pure socialism and American capitalism.

A chance to purchase real estate that is in the BEST LOCATION in downtown Estes Park. Property has 2 long term tenants, 134 W. Elkhorn (The Grubsteak Restaurant) and 140 W. Elkhorn (RMC Clothing). A rare opportunity to own a part of Estes Park history that has the modern amenities. Lots of public parking near. $1,900,000

A treasure trove of local history manuscripts and artifacts has been assembled over many decades within the archives of the Estes Valley Library and the Estes Park Museum. In recent years, the two organizations have been working closely to plan for the long-term preservation of the area’s local history resources. Guided by community feedback and careful strategic planning, the Museum and the Library have embarked upon a collaboration that draws upon their unique skills and settings. These efforts will assure proper care and storage of original materials, while expanding online access through increased cataloging and digitizing of these resources.

The first phase of this new collaboration is now underway. The two organizations are merging their two separated archives into one unified collection for the benefit of residents and researchers alike. The Museum will be the storage site for these resources, which will ensure the long-term care, protection and preservation of the original materials.

Among these items are original—and often fragile—copies of local newspapers, oral history recordings and transcripts, historic photographs, telephone directories, and high school yearbooks.

While the Museum will draw upon its expertise to meet archival standards for handling and storage, the Library will focus on providing access to digitized materials and expanding the quantity of documents that can be viewed online.

Digitization offers increased access for both scholars and novice history buffs alike—even providing such new features as keyword searching within a document.

Both the transfer of the Library archival collection and the long-term ef-

forts toward digitizing are part of the Library’s current Strategic Plan. One of the plan’s twelve major tenets is “Know Your Roots: Local History and Genealogy”, which calls for the Library to assist residents to “understand the history and traditions of the community in which they live.” The Library will work closely with the Museum to assist in digitizing items over a period of years, as well as helping residents in learning how to access these electronic materials, whether searching from the Library or from a home computer.

Among the additional benefits of this collaboration is the potential to grow the local history collection in the future by receiving and cataloging new materials.

The Museum is currently working toward the vision of a new state-of-the-art collection and research facility, as identified in the Town of Estes Park’s 2013 Master Plan.

There will also be new opportunities between the Museum and the Library for future exhibits and programs that will showcase and celebrate the archive collection—both in its physical and electronic form—for the education and enrichment of the community.

The Library and Museum will provide ongoing updates on the status of this project, as well as any new procedures for the accessing of materials. The public may search a growing collection of catalogued archival materials at the website: estespark.pastperfectonline.com Anyone with questions about the status of the archive project may contact the Library at 970-566-8116 or the Estes Park Museum at 970-586-6256.

Summer Financial Classes Hosted By The Estes Valley Library Common Cents Counts, the Estes Valley Library’s financial education program, announces another series of basic financial classes to be held this summer.

In partnership with the YMCA of the Rockies, the programs will take place in the informal environment of the Y’s Maude Jellison Library, an ideal gathering place for summer residents, full-time residents and guests, with plenty of parking and lots of comfortable chairs.

It’s not too late to join in to this Financial Class series! Seminar three (July 20th) discusses tax advantage investing specifically for retirement planning. The

fourth seminar (July 27th) covers core investment choices. The fifth seminar (August 6th) reviews simple strategies for managing money during the relaxing years of retirement.

The financial series of Common Cents Counts is easy and provides all the information necessary for a lifetime of astute money management. It’s free, no registration is necessary, parking is available, and the information is tested and proven to be beneficial. A few hours spent in class this summer will prove a great investment!

Wild Mama Author Carrie Visintainer Featured On July 25 We continue celebrating the library centennial with an abundance of amazing author visits and July is no exception. The Estes Valley Library will welcome the author of Wild Mama – Carrie Visintainer – as a presenter for Our Wonderful World on Monday, July 25.

When traveler and writer Carrie Visintainer became a mother at the age of thirty-two, she worried it was all over, that her adventurous life was done. Immersed in a whirlwind of sleeplessness and spit-up, she was madly in love with her new baby, yet also felt her adventurous spirit and core identity crumbling.

So, she laced up her boots and set out

on a soul-searching journey, with revelations near and far. Carrie realized that motherhood was like traveling to a foreign country. Carrie found herself face to face with her central quandary: Domesticity vs. Wanderlust. She discovered that she could – and should – have both.

Our Wonderful World is the Estes Valley Library’s armchair-travel series spotlighting extraordinary destinations from around the world. This year’s programs will once again be held in the spacious Park Village Playhouse at the National Park Village located at 900 Moraine Avenue, next to the Other Side Restaurant.

After working at Good Sams for a couple of years, I had another stroke of luck. In the dining room one day the conversation turned to the Honor Flight program. I learned of how a group of volunteers had started flying WWII Veterans to Washington D.C. to see their memorial. I jokingly said to my boss at the time that I thought I should probably go with the residents if they wanted to go. To be honest, at that point I was probably looking at it as a “fun trip” out of town.

Eventually we set a goal of $100,000 which would cover the cost of 100 Estes Valley Veterans. To date we are approximately $2,000 from that goal.

This year our committee decided to show the movie, “Honor Flight, One Last Mission” as our annual fundraiser.

Free Shuttle Service To Our English Conversation Cafe!

Every summer, the Estes Valley employs workers from all over the world to support its bustling tourism. It is never a surprise, then, to meet someone from Uzbekistan, China, or Colombia when you lodge or dine in Estes Park. Many of these workers are students who come to Estes Park to practice their English skills within the context of the service industry. Our year-round community also includes workers from different countries, and many of these individuals study English as well through opportunities available in the community, especially during the school year.

This summer, in keeping with its vision, “A literate, informed and enriched Estes Valley,” the Estes Valley Library is sponsoring an “English Conversation Café,” to provide support to workers from other countries as well as our year-round employees to practice their English speaking skills. English language learners of all skill levels are welcome to join this fun and informal opportunity over a cup of coffee or tea. It doesn’t matter what your vocabulary or

conversational needs are, native English speakers are prepared to converse with you.

To ensure that our new conversations café is accessible to everyone, a free shuttle service is being offered this summer! If you do not have transportation, you can get to the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies by free shuttle service. From Barlow Plaza, take a shuttle at 6:30 p.m. to the Visitor Center. At the Visitor Center, get on the Silver Route shuttle that will get you to the Presbyterian Church by 6:45 p.m. At 8:10, you may take the shuttle from the church back to the Visitor Center, and from there get on other shuttles to where you need to be.

The English Conversation Café meets every Wednesday evening, through August 31, 7-8 p.m., at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue, across from the Estes Park Elementary School. For more information, contact Leonor Kennell, lkennell@estesvalleylibrary.org or (970) 586-8116, ext.836.

¡Servicio de Transporte Gratuito a Nuestro Café de Conversación en Inglés!

Cada verano, los negocios del valle de Estes emplean a trabajadores de todo el mundo para apoyar su activo turismo, por lo que nunca es una sorpresa conocer a alguien de Uzbekistán, China, o Colombia cuando cena afuera o se aloja en Estes Park. Muchos de estos trabajadores son estudiantes que vienen a Estes Park para practicar sus habilidades de inglés en el contexto de los negocios de la alimentación y el alojamiento. Nuestra comunidad que vive aquí todo el año, también incluye a trabajadores de diferentes países, y muchos de estos individuos estudian inglés, a través de las oportunidades disponibles en la comunidad, especialmente durante el año escolar.

Este verano, de acuerdo con su visión, "Un valle de Estes informado, enriquecido, y de lectores” el Estes Valley Library ofrece un "Café de Conversación en Inglés” para proveer apoyo a los trabajadores de otros países, así como a nuestros empleados de todo el año para practicar su conversación.

Estudiantes de todos los niveles de inglés son bienvenidos a reunirse con nosotros a esta oportunidad divertida e informal con una taza de café o té. No importa cuál sea su necesidad específica de conversación o

el vocabulario que quiera aprender, hablantes nativos de inglés están dispuestos a conversar con usted.

Para asegurar que nuestro Café de Conversación en Inglés está al alcance de todos, un servicio de transporte gratuito se ofrece este verano. Si no tiene transporte, puede llegar a la iglesia, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies a través del servicio gratuito de transporte del verano.

Star, Shelly And Peanut Butter Need New Forever Homes

This week there are three great pets in need of new homes.

Star is a seven year old Korean Jindo Mix. Sadly, her mom died and she now has a temporary caretaker. She is house trained, enjoys cuddles and playing with her toys.

She has a somewhat high energy level so she would be great for an active couple or family. She does fine with a four foot fence and has been around small dogs.

Peanut Butter is a long haired dark colored male tabby cat.

Shelly is a female, short haired tabby with orange markings.

Peanut Butter and Shelly are eight week old siblings, they are still a bit shy but very playful.

Stop down to the Pet Lodge to meet any one of these precious pets.

All pets are offered through the Pet Association of Estes Park, a non-profit organization that works to find homes for stray and abandoned pets, control dog and cat populations by funding sterilization programs, educate members of the community, especially young people, about the humane treatment of animals and the responsibilities of pet ownership; and promote community involvement in the use of pets as therapeutic agents (e.g., in nursing homes). The Estes Park Pet Association is your local humane society. You can make a tax-deductible donation to the Pet Association by sending your check to P.O. Box 4342, Estes Park, CO 80517. For more information, contact Carolyn Fairbanks, President of the Pet Association at (970) 586-5121.

Lectures On Pierre de Chardin Robin Travis Lovejoy

(1955-2016) Robin Lovejoy of Estes Park, Colorado, died peacefully in her home on Wednesday, July 6, 2016. She will be remembered by family and friends as a loving woman who was young at heart and full of passion for living. She was devoted to her husband of 21 years, Craig Lovejoy, and to their family.

She was 60 years old.

Robin was born on October 27, 1955, in Northport, New York, to parents Raymond C. and Joan P. Travis. She was very proud of her grandfather, Dr. Wilbur C. Travis, a Northport physician who served the local community for over 50 years. Robin graduated from Northport High School in 1973, and then attended Colorado State University, where she obtained a degree in Journalism in 1977.

Upon graduation from CSU, she was employed as an Executive Administrative Assistant in Wichita, Kansas, followed by a similar position at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. In 1984, Robin moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where she worked for DoubleTree Hotels in the corporate office. While at DoubleTree Hotels, she became a staff trainer for DoubleTree properties in California and Arizona.

After leaving the hospitality industry, Robin spent over 14 years as a successful Remax Realtor in north Phoenix where she earned status in the Remax Hall of Fame.

In 2006, Robin and her husband moved to Estes Park where she loved

the beauty of the environment and actively engaged in the Estes Park community. She enjoyed hiking and all things nature, as well as getting together with her many friends.

Robin served as a volunteer at the Estes Park Visitors’ Center and as a Volunteer Park Ranger at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. She facilitated a spiritual book study group, The Soul Seekers, and participated in another community book club.

Robin was committed to practicing and advocating for a higher quality of life for all persons with cancer. She actively encouraged others through the Wellness Warriors, a support group she founded for local cancer patients and their families.

She is survived by her husband Craig, her brother Richard Travis (Ellen), children: Jennifer, Wendy (Jason), Jeremy (Sabrina) and seven grandchildren, as well as a beloved community of cousins. Her very joyful spirit and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who love her.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, July 30, 2:00 p.m. at Hyde Chapel at the YMCA of the Rockies.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Rocky Mountain Conservancy or the YMCA of the Rockies in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517.

See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Robin’s family.

Richard “Dick” Marquart A Memorial Service for Dick Marquart will be held on Monday, July 25, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at the Ponder Chapel at the YMCA of the Rockies.

Memorial contributions may be made in Dick’s name to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517.
