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

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

Meeting materials and opportunities for comment will also be available from July 24 through August 7 through the project website at www.estes.org/fallrivertrail.

Considering public input, a preferred alignment will be selected in early fall of 2015. Preliminary design of the selected alignment will be completed by the end of 2015 and final design will be completed in 2016. The current study and design process are funded by a grant awarded to the Town of Estes Park, after a competitive process, through the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks Program of the U.S. Department of Transportation. There is no schedule for construction at this time.

The trail will be constructed as funding is identified.

When construction funding is secured, the Town of Estes Park proposes to construct an eight- foot wide, approximately 2.5-mile concrete extension of the Fall River multi-use trail that will connect the existing trail, near Castle Mountain Lodge, to Rocky Mountain National Park.

East of Fish Hatchery Road, the new trail would likely be located along the south side of Fall River Road. West of Fish Hatchery Road, trail locations along the south side of Fall River Road, and along Fish Hatchery Road will be considered.

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

Hermit Park Welcomes The Wolves WolfWood Refuge makes their annual visit to Hermit Park Open Space in Larimer County near Estes Park on Saturday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th 2015. From 9:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. each day, wolf talks will be at 10 a.m. & 7 p.m.

You will have the opportunity to meet some of our new ambassador wolves, enjoy petting, take photos, receive wolf kisses and go home with all the free wolf fur your clothes can handle.

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. No animal is ever chained. 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 outreach programs are given free of charge to over fifty 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. WolfWood strongly opposes the breeding of more wolf/dogs and allows no breeding at the refuge.

There will be lots of new Wolfwood items for sale with 100% of the profits going to the refuge. Visit: www.wolf-

Limited Seating At The Old Gallery’s Summer Show- Side By Side By Sondheim The recent meetings to seek approval for The Old Gallery’s indoor performances have not crushed the Allenspark Performing Arts Company’s spirits. With the go ahead, the production is in full swing with excitement building for their July 23 opening night performance.

Brandon Wood, featured soloist in Side

By Side By Sondheim, who made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2005 says, “Whether it's a stage at Lincoln Center or at The Old Gallery - music is something that brings joy to people from all over and I am very happy to be a part of this talented and fun cast.”

Tickets can be purchased online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1634

805 or at Distant Harbors Gift Shop and The Old Gallery in Allenspark and Macdonald Book Shop in Estes Park.

Performances are July 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, August 1 and 2. Thursday - Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m.

General admission is $20 and $15.00 for seniors 65+ and students with ID. A pre-show talk with speaker, Max Wolpert featuring the life of composer, Stephen Sondheim will be held on Saturday, August 1 at 6:30 p.m. and Meetthe-Artists of Side by Side by Sondheim on Sundays at 1:30 featuring appetizers and other goodies. (Pre-show Talk and Meet-the-Artists tickets are only $5).

“So, What Did Martha Do?” On August 12, 13 & 14, The Estes Park Learning Place will offer a stimulating workshop for students to give a different perspective on a crucial period in our nation’s history, the American Revolution.

We invite students to join us for this unique perspective on the key roles women took, who fought so hard to forge our new nation.

Participating in the American Revolution was a daring proposition for anyone living during those times. We read or heard stories about our forefathers who kicked a king and his followers out and created a new country. While George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere, and Sam Adams were busy making a name for themselves, we don’t know much about the lives of their wives, sisters, mothers, and daughters. What

were they doing?

This is a workshop, for mature middle school students, to learn how women from all walks of life committed themselves to the dangerous endeavor of fighting for our individual freedom and dignity.

This three day workshop, taught

by Catherine Krumme, features brief informational lectures, engaging discussions, and lively hands on activities.

Sessions are held August 12, 13 & 14 Wednesday , Thursday & Friday, 10:00 to 12:00 at the Estes Park Learning Place.

Registration fee is only $5.00 per student as the workshop is being funded thanks to a grant from the Daughters of the American Revolution. Space is limited so register early.

To register: please call 970-577-0020 or e-mail sue@eplearningplace.org.

Friday, July 17, 2015 Volunteer donors provide nearly all blood used for transfusion in the United States. The donor's body replenishes the fluid lost from donation in 24 hours. It may take up to two months to replace the lost red blood cells. Whole blood can be donated once every eight weeks (56 days). Two units of red blood cells can be donated at one time, using a process known as red cell apheresis. This type of donation can be made every 16 weeks.

To give blood for transfusion to another person, you must be healthy, be at least 17 years old or 16 years old if allowed by state law. You must weigh at least 110 pounds, and not have donated whole blood in the last eight weeks (56 days) or double red cells in the last 16 weeks (112 days). "Healthy" means that you feel well and can perform normal activities. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, "healthy" also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control.

Other aspects of each potential donor's health history are discussed as part of the donation process before any blood is collected. Each donor receives a brief examination during which temperature, pulse, blood pressure and blood count (hemoglobin or hematocrit) are measured.

For more information on the blood drive, call 577-4390 or contact Garth Englund Blood Center at 495-8965.

Artistic diversity, new ideas and creative uses of media were encouraged in the application process.

Artists are given two-week residencies at the William Allen White cabin from June through September.

For a specific schedule and to learn more about these artists go to: www.nps.gov/romo/getinvolved/supportyourpark/meet-our2015-artists-in-residences.htm Artists have had a long-standing impact on the formation, expansion and direction of our country’s national parks. Musicians, composers, painters, writers, sculptors and other performing artists also draw upon the multifaceted quality of parks for inspiration. All of these artists translate the national park’s purpose, as a place of pleasure and preservation, into images which bring others enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the parks some may never visit.

Rocky Mountain National Park’s Artist-In-Residence program provides artists the opportunity to become a part of a long established tradition of artists in our national parks.

THE PETER PRINCIPLE The popular little book titled ‘The Peter Principle’ was written in 1969. The author, Laurence Peter, after studying hundreds of organizations, concluded that ‘In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his/her level of incompetence.’ We’ve all seen it happen: people that were excellent at their level of work…and usually very happy where they were…are suddenly given an opportunity to ‘move up’ to another position or level. The result is often far from satisfying for either the person or the corporation. A great bank teller gets promoted to branch manager only to leave in disgrace after not being able to draw in new business or manage those under him effectively. A sales rep gets promoted to territory manager but cannot challenge his former buddies. An excellent construction worker is asked to be project overseer but leaves in anger because he can not make sense of budget forecasts. An excellent and well liked teacher is asked to serve as a principal only to find that when she gets into that role she becomes confused and inept.

The author thus proposed that the best ‘work is accomplished by those who have not yet reached their level of incompetence’. But isn’t being promoted just a matter of learning new skills and growing in responsibilities? Perhaps—but frequently it is simply taking someone out of what he/she does well and putting them into an area that does not utilize their strongest abilities at all. A great military man of years gone by, Michael Montaigne, noted it in dealing with his military ranks. He said, “Comrades, you have lost a good captain to make him an ill general.” And we have witnessed that often in so many fields. How often have we seen an outstanding professional athlete, who, after the completion of his playing days, is moved into a coaching role and is a miserable failure. So what is the lesson that we need to learn?

One of the keys to living out and being successful in our calling is to select work that blends our: (1) Skills and Abilities, (2) Personality traits, and (3) Values, Dreams and Passions. The first will usually be discovered by our experiences. What have we done that shows that we have a natural aptitude for some special work? Focus on that work, despite the pressures by some to move us in a different direction. The second, our personality, is something that we discover as we grow. Personality-wise we know that people fall into various groups.

Some work well with people, others work better alone. Some are excellent using their minds for research, others effectively use their hands working with large machines. Usually it is unadvisable for one to switch to another, despite a seeming opportunity for advancement. The third area: our values, dreams, and passions, must be considered at we contemplate any upward move. Can we accept that different role and still be the same person, maintaining, as the Bible says, our ‘integrity’? Surely we realize that even ‘open doors’ and ‘opportunities’ can lead us away from what we are best equipped for in life. The key is to know ourselves and see confirmation of God’s preparation in other ways as well.

So, what about you? Do you feel like you have found the ‘niche’ that you are best equipped to fill in your life? If not, keep your eyes open for those opportunities that God and society will present to you for your consideration. Don’t let ‘pride’ get in the way of making a good decision that will result in fulfillment for yourself and blessing for those whom you are privileged to serve. Life will be so much better if you do.

Live Concerts At Performance Park The Cultural Arts Council announces its Live Concert Series Schedule. The Wednesday Night Live Concert will feature David Michael Boyd July 22. When David was two years old, he began to take an interest in music when his grandfather made him a banjo. The guitar came into focus later when at age eleven David switched to six strings from cello due to the influences 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, and classical. This show will be a mix instrumental and vocal concert that will bring humor alongside of virtuosity on the guitar. The mix of styles ranges from blues and rock to “acoustic experimental expressionism,” Boyd’s term for an approach to playing music that aims to “play” ideas, emotions and pictures; often as an interpretation of spoken word art.

The 17th Annual Thursday Night Live on July 23 will present up and coming young local performers “Road to Knowhere” a semi-electric group. The trio is made up of Will Thomas (14) on guitar, mandolin and lead vocals, Levi Carpman (15) on bass guitar and upright bass and Danny Lepert (18) on drums. They play multiple genres including blues, jazz, bluegrass, country and rock.

Both concert series are underwritten by Coldwell-Banker, Estes Village Properties (Vicky Holler, Mary Murphy and Wayne Newsom). We welcome new sponsors: Wednesday Night Live, The Barrel and Thursday Night Live, Mueller & Associates, CPA. Performances are at Performance Park, 417 W. Elkhorn Ave. and begin at 7 p.m., weather permitting.

In case of rain, the concert will go on and the audience will be seated on stage.

Audiences are asked to bring chairs or a blanket to make it a comfortable evening for entertainment. Free-will donations are requested to help us continue to offer these concerts as well as other programs.

The Cultural Arts Council is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization serving the greater Estes Valley. Our Concert Series is part of our Community Outreach Program in fulfillment of our Mission: to enhance the quality and accessibility of visual and performing arts for people of all ages. For more information, call us at 970-586-9203, email us at info@estesarts.com or visit our website: www.estesarts.com. Next week’s concerts will feature the Kings of Swing on July 29th and Peggy Mann, July 30th.

Still ongoing is “Celebrating Rocky” exhibit as part of the RMNP 100th anniversary. The show closes on Jul 26th. Upcoming is the Plein Air Rockies Prelude exhibit with an Opening Reception on August 1st, from 5 – 7.

Learn More About The Community Garden On July 23rd at 7:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room at the Estes Valley Library, there will be a presentation outlining all the recent activities of the Estes Valley Community Garden (EVCG) and the future plans. It will be sponsored by Steve LaMont, owner of the Buckwheat Organic Market. Come and nibble on treats from the market while learning about EVCG and asking questions about local gardening.

The moderator and presenter will be Floyd Wright. He is a passionate gardener in this area who owns a hoop house that can be used year around for vegetable productions. He received his Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree in Horticulture from Colorado State University. His work experience includes three years of working at a wholesale plant nursery, three years farming heirloom crops to sell at farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets and restaurants, and sales and marketing for Sysco Foods in Estes Park. He has spent two months in Portugal hiking and working on an organic vineyard and winery, and exploring the ancient agriculture and levadas on the island of Madeira. He also spent two months in Bangladesh exploring life in the rural villages where farming is still done by hand. He recently spent time on the western slope working in a grape vineyard and an apple orchard. Through these work experiences and his travels, he has gotten a glimpse of the global food production and distribution.

The Estes Valley Community Garden is planned for the Stanley Park on the

northeast corner of Manford Avenue and Community Drive. A high fence above ground and mesh below ground are planned to keep hungry critters out.

Water outlets will be available. Raised beds are planned with quality garden mixture for a truly organic gardening experience. One plot will be farmed by volunteers for the Crossroads Food Pantry, one plot will be reserved for the elementary school children, one plot for the Families for Estes to run a preschool program, and a plot for the Girl Scouts.

In addition one or two plots will be reserved for families in need. Approximately 24 plots will be available for community members to rent for a season.

The Estes Valley Community Garden Board continues to search for grants and inspire local donors to assist in the launching of the garden. Over half of the construction costs has been raised to date. During July and August, donorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contributions will be matched by two families up to $1,000. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already donated, you could send a tax-deductible check to the EVCGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s P.O. Box 4158. If you have questions you can call Jane Bush, 970-586-4161.

Come join the fun on Thursday, July 23rd at 7:00 p.m. at the Estes Valley Library. Yes, high altitude gardening is a challenge but other communities in the mountains are being successful. For example Vail, Aspen, Summit County, and Grand County all have community gardens. We can have success here in Estes Park just like they are enjoying.

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

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

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

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

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

Also with us this year will be Chris Kennison, playing pedal steel, dobro, banjo and lead guitar. Chris was my band-mate at the Arizona and Rocky Mountain Oprys. Our drummer is Jeff Kennison, Chris’s brother, who is a well-known percussionist from the Denver area. My sis-

Plastic Water Bottles!

Submitted by: Jana Larsen, League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee

Did you know that an estimated 42.6 billion U.S. consumers purchase Bodee water in single-use plastic bottles? While 8 out of 10 end up in landfills, hundreds of millions end up as litter along roads and in waterways…eventually costing taxpayers a boggling amount of money each year for disposal and clean-up. Just think of how much YOU can do to reduce this alarming problem by simply not making that purchase! The solution can begin with you - it’s that simple.

Remember the 3 R’s: REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE

For more information, plan to visit our booth we share with BEARS ARE US at the Farmer’s Market on Thursdays at Bond Park. And, go to our website at www.recycleestes.org., and LIKE and SHARE us on Facebook at League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee!

One Wonderful World: Journeys In Ecuador

The Estes Valley Library “Our Wonderful World” summer adventure series continues as we travel to Ecuador. Spanning the globe via amazing stories and pictures is made possible by many of our local adventurers. Join mountaineer Pietro Simonetti as he shares his talk and slideshow about recent Ecuador (climbing volcanoes?) adventures.

Pietro is no stranger to traveling and performing extreme stunts, which he does to raise money for good causes.

From skiing the snow of a Kilimanjaro glacier to the sands of the Sahara in Morocco, Pietro and his crew have had adventures all over the world.

‘Across the Atlas’ is a team Pietro cofounded to support non-profit organizations with substantial monetary donations. The money is raised through adventure expeditions that span the globe. The group has presented tens of thousands of dollars to organizations such as the National Sports Center for the Disabled, the Colorado Cancer Foundation and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. ‘Across the Atlas’ also had

the privilege of raising thousands of dollars to augment the training expenses of aspiring Paralympians.

In the last three years, the group has used its energy in creating a Foundation that will continue the ‘Across the Atlas’ spirit by training and inspiring the next generation of climbers, skiers and mountaineers.

The “Our Wonderful World” program takes place on Monday, July 20th at 7:00 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse next to The Other Side Restaurant and below the Country Supermarket at 900 Moraine Avenue. Admission is free and open to all.

“Our Wonderful World” is presented as an opportunity to celebrate the personal storytelling of those who have explored destinations near and far. The Library offers a special thank-you to the Webermeier family and the staff of National Park Village for their generosity in providing this year’s event space.

For more information on the series, visit estesvalleylibrary.org or call to speak with a librarian at 970-586-8116.

Inspiring Stories: Bare Naked Chassis To Downright Classy A Behind the Scenes View of the 2015 Tournament of Roses Parade at the Estes Valley Library Have you ever wondered what goes into producing a Tournament of Roses Parade Float? Estes Park resident and retired Horticulturist, Merle M. Moore, and his wife, Patricia, attended the January, 2015 parade and went “behind the scenes” to bring you a close-up look at the planning and floral artistry that goes into parade float design and production.

Please join us at the Estes Valley Library on Wednesday, July 22nd from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the Hondius Community Room and Try Something New! Learn about the inner makings of a parade float.

The 2015 parade theme, Inspiring Stories, required the input of exhibit designers, movie animation technicians and special effects experts, specialty plant growers from around the world, “floral coordinators,” and thousands of volunteers, to create the beautiful floats seen in the parade. In his program Merle will take you on a float-building journey

from “Bare Naked Chassis to Downright Classy.”

Mr. Moore came to Colorado in 1978 as Assistant Director of the Denver Botanic Gardens. In 1990, Moore was hired by the Denver Zoo as Director of Horticulture & Grounds Maintenance.

He developed and guided the horticulture and landscaping program at the Denver Zoo until his retirement in 2005.

In January 2007, the Colorado Nursery and Greenhouse Association honored Mr. Moore when he was inducted into the CNGA Hall of Fame. He is now retired from full-time horticulture work and currently resides in Estes Park. He is a member of the CSU Annual Bedding Plant and Perennial Plant Trail Garden Committee, and is a horticulture lecturer, Consultant, and tour guide.

Try Something New! is a part of the Adult Summer Reading program “Escape the Ordinary” at the Estes Valley Library. For additional information about this program, please visit estesvalleylibrary.org or call to speak with a librarian at 970-586-8116.

One Book One Valley Unveiling Event

By: Suellen Brenner

The suspense is almost over. On Thursday, July 30th, at 7:00 p.m., everyone will know the 5th Annual One Book One Valley title. Mayor Bill Pinkham will kick off the community read events by unveiling the selected title.

One Book One Valley invites community conversation around the themes of a great book. Last spring, the Estes Valley Library invited you and your neighbors to vote for a title among five finalists for this year’s choice in this all-community literary event. The votes were tallied and we have a first-place winner!

Thanks to the continuing support of the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation, 300 paperback copies of this

year’s book will be available to library cardholders, beginning Thursday, July 30th at our Unveiling Event.

Many of those 300 copies will be passed among multiple readers during the One Book One Valley program season. Our goal is to engage as many readers as possible, which means sharing the book then passing it on to your family and friends. The selected title is sure to inspire discussion and conversation as the copies are shared between friends, families and neighbors through out the Estes Valley.

The One Book One Valley planning committee has come up with engaging literary activities and programs for the month of October, including the capstone event - an author visit to Estes Park. We are brimming with excitement and can’t wait to share it with all of you.

Please join us at the Estes Valley Library on Thursday, July 30th at 7:00 p.m. as we celebrate the beginning of our community read, pick up your copy of the book, enjoy some refreshments and help us launch the 2015 One Book One Valley event.

Hook is a 1991 movie directed by Steven Spielberg.

Peter Pan (played

by Robin Williams) has grown up to be a corporate lawyer and is married to Wendy’s granddaughter. When Captain Hook (played by Dustin Hoffman) kidnaps Peter’s children, Peter must return to Neverland and

with the help of Tinkerbell and the Lost Boys, remember how to be Peter Pan again in order to save his children. Hook is rated PG. The Movies in the Mountains series is made possible by a partnership with the Town of Estes Park Special Events Department, Families for Estes, the Estes Park Rotary Club and Rambo’s Longhorn Liquor.

Nan Ryan Invitational Scholarship To Be Awarded To Two Junior Golfers

Scentless Chamomile • Daisy flowers with yellow center and 12 white petals • Flowers from May to October • Dissected leaves look like carrot or fern leaves • Plants are a few inches to 2 feet tall • Plants lack a nice smell that Chamomile usually has

Why should you be concerned about it?

Scentless Chamomile is an escaped non-native ornamental that displaces native plants. It provides no food value for livestock or wildlife. Scentless Chamomile can produce blisters on muzzles, irritate mucous membranes, and cause skin rashes in wildlife and livestock. This plant grows in the Estes Valley along Peak View Rd, Prospect Estates Dr, Riverside Dr, and by the Fairgrounds. Scentless Chamomile takes over large areas when it can. The updated scientific name for this plant is Tripleurospermum perforatum!

PREVENTION This is an annual plant, so pull Scentless Chamomile, and let’s get rid of this pretty but noxious plant before it takes over town. Put flowering weeds in paper lawn bags. Leave weed bags for free disposal on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8-3 or at the Annual Weed Roundup Saturday, July 25 from 9-noon at 666 Elm Street, up the road from the Recycle/Transfer Station. If you mow, please use an attached mower bag to collect and dispose of clippings so that weeds aren’t spread.

If you would like help identifying weeds on your property, call Marcia @ 586-6092 or George @ 586-5022. For more information please call the Larimer County Natural Resources @ 498-5769 or CSU Extension @ 491-7568.

Lanty McCartney, Mark Miller, Nan Ryan and Ron Gordon.

Two junior golfers will be the lucky recipients of scholarships involving full junior golf privileges at the Estes Park Golf Course during the 2016 season. In addition, an extra amount of money is set aside for each recipient to purchase golf gear through the Pro Shop. Mark Miller, Director of Golf at the Estes Park Golf Course, will determine the recipients.

The scholarships, being awarded through the 12th Annual Nan Ryan Invitational, are sponsored by Lanty McCartney of GreatGolf-OnlyBetter.com and Nancy Stevens; as well as Ron and Vivian Gordon.

“We wanted to do something to supplement the Nan Ryan tournament, which benefits the Estes Park Junior Golf Program,” said McCartney. “We hope these scholarships will encourage more young golfers to learn this game of a lifetime,” he added.

“We are delighted with this gift for two young golfers,” said Ryan, organizer of the tournament which has presented the Junior Golf Program with more than $19,000 over the past 11 years. “Lanty, Nancy, Ron and Vivian have been great supporters of this tournament throughout the years. These scholarships will go to two deserving young golfers, and we

are grateful for their support of the junior program.”

The 12th annual Nan Ryan Invitational will be played on July 25 at the Lake Estes Golf Course, with all proceeds going to the Estes Park Junior Golf Program. Golfers of all ages are invited to participate in this fun, 9-hole event, which features a scramble format.

Entry fee is $20 for passholders and $35 for non-passholders, and includes greens fees, EP tournament fee, lunch provided

by The Dunraven Inn, Donation to the Estes Park GC Junior Golf Program, prizes for winning teams in all divisions and for special events, and a special gift for each player.

Entry forms for the 12th Annual tournament are now available at the Estes Park Golf Course and the Lake Estes Golf Course.

INVESTMENT PROPERTY “Wonderful place to stay while in Estes Park”

Golden Times And Happy News

Reviewed 1 week ago for a stay in June 2015:

Happened upon this place through tripadvisor. We were looking to vacation for a week this summer in Estes Park and knew we wanted something in the outdoors away from the downtown craziness that can happen in town during the summer. This was a perfect place for my wife and 3 kids. There is an upstairs to this place that has two double beds in a room besides a living area, tv, a kitchenette, and an outdoor deck all upstairs. Our two boys snatched up that upstairs area and absolutely loved it. Our daughter had her own room downstairs as did my wife and I. The beds were very comfortable and with my back issues I never once had a problem sleeping. There are plenty of pots,pans, dishes and other for you to fix whatever you need during your stay. The Dicksons are awesome landlords that went through the whole process from step one and made you feel right at home. The kitchen and living area open up to the back deck which overlooks the big thompson river that you can just throw out a line and fish to your hearts content. Our family loved every second we were there for the past week. If you come to Estes Park and are looking for a nice spot to stay this is just outside of town away from the noise, this is a perfect spot to check out. 121 Canyon River Road – $345,000

On a recent soggy evening in Estes Park I strolled up Little Prospect in gathering darkness, listening for all-but-absent forest sounds from deep woods. Light drizzle and dewdrops daubed my face; Lumpy Ridge and Prospect Mountain hid behind thickening mist; a scrim of fog softened rodeo lights at the Fairgrounds; the quiet hum of causeway traffic delivered a steady stream of red-eyed taillights vanishing up Pole Hill. Alone, content in my solitude, I experienced what Joseph Campbell called “the rapture of being alive.”

I initially intended this column to address the churlish chorus of gloom and disinformation oozing from cynical blowhards (some are Presidential candidates) whose livelihood apparently depends on eroding America’s social fabric while fomenting social division. Instead, multiple events caused me to shift focus as I observed ordinary Americans in their pursuit of happiness. Quotidian joy trumped windbags’ false fears and reminded me, as I hope it will you, of the rich diversity and imagination in American daily life.

Just over two years ago, intrigued by a notice in this newspaper, I telephoned Joanne Helmuth, who with Ilah Reynar had announced plans to hold a twoweek summer circus camp in Estes Park for kids ages 4-11. My interest was high: forty years ago I began a ten-year association with San Francisco’s newly formed Pickle Family Circus. That’s a story for another time, but my travels as a Pickle juggler, barker, roustabout and trumpet player remain a highlight of my life.

Joanne and Ilah, buttressed by Karolee McLaughlin, Juan Torres, Javon Banks, Tess LangBurns, your scribe and twentyfive energetic youngsters, will today at noon unveil the third annual edition of The World Famous Lumpy Circus, under the big top at The Stanley Hotel. All are welcome. Come witness the buoyant joy of these young local performers as they tumble, cartwheel, dance and strut across the ring to live music. They are eager, cooperative, talented, unafraid, pliable, resilient and a delight to be with.

Their laughter, skill, inspiration and eager achievement remind us that innocent happiness is a precious foundation on which to build lives.

The umpteenth Hogan Family Reunion, begun in 1976, occurs each July in Central Valley, NY, near the Hudson River, and is hosted by my older sister Robin and her life partner Shirley. The two recently exchanged rings after twenty years together, and we celebrated with ample bubbly and lobster rolls trucked down from Maine by sister Valerie. Reunion highlights included cousin Willie’s spicy hot links; horseshoes; the annual Dook Loane softball game (tenacious five-year old Henry Tamis sporting batting glove, helmet, and a fiercely focused face earned MVP); hard-fought rounds of Rummikub; double griddles at breakfast featuring blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon, compliments of Tim and Alex and helpers Maddie and Max; multiple selfies sent to relatives not in attendance; Friday afternoon movies (Jurassic

and Inside Out) followed by bruschetta and pizza; ankle-biters with water guns in the pool; the balloon toss; a group picture (beware the front row!) of the fortysome attendees; and the ever popular Toby Loane Turtle Race (this year a small dog replaced the turtles—don’t ask).

My America embraces both sadness and joy. With daughter Eileen I drove to Danbury to sit with and whisper words of love to ninety-two year old Ma Halas in Glen Hill Center, where she is recovering from a stroke in a room filled with hand-drawn cards from grandkids. Eileen came up from Charleston, SC, where she and partner Caroline live half a mile from Mother Emmanuel A.M.E. church. Numerous Hogans visited the Highland Mills cemetery to honor deceased relatives. We inaugurated a memory garden for cousin Sandy, lost to us a year ago.

Eileen and I caught an early Sunday train to New York City to reconnect with dear friends Andy and Lan and young son Emmett in a Central Park children’s playground, where we ate bagels and caught up on each others’ lives. They stored our luggage while we subwayed south to a crowded Times Square and the St. James Theatre for SOMETHING ROTTEN! The show is an absolute delight for anyone who loves musicals and Shakespeare; the marquee asserts: “All actors promise to memorize most of their lines.” Numerous show-stopping numbers, clever dialogue (much purloined from The Bard) and endless homage to almost any Broadway musical you can name. The audience, including a large contingent down from French Woods Performing Arts Summer Camp in Hancock, NY, roared and clapped and laughed and wiped eyes and stood to cheer and laughed some more.

What a performance!

After the show Eileen and I walked to Andy and Lan’s apartment in Spanish Harlem, right through the 47th Annual 111th Street Oldtimers Fair. We were immersed in aromas of Puerto Rican cooking, salsa bands playing, oldtimers nattily dressed, people of all skin colors and ethnic backgrounds enjoying themselves, neighbors chatting, kids running, laughing and celebrating the lives and community they share.

Perhaps I looked in the wrong places, but more likely I witnessed exactly what hundreds of millions of other Americans did across the continent—engaged, purposeful, happy, self-aware and content citizens. My America features family reunions, vibrant street fairs, Broadway shows and circus workshops, not tripe from self-aggrandizing radio windbags who rush to judgment and purvey division while waving false flags. Their fraudulent sideshows are myopically, hopelessly out of touch with daily life in America’s small towns and urban centers. It is the wholesome joy we create with others and for ourselves in venues from Kennebunk to Compton that adds genuine value to communities and makes this country great.

12th Annual Nan Ryan Golf Tournament It’s sign-up time for the 12th Annual Nan Ryan Invitational Golf Tournament, which benefits the Estes Park Junior Golf Program. Golfers of all ages are invited to participate.

The 9-hole event with a Scramble Format will be played Saturday, July 25, at the Lake Estes Golf Course.

Any Junior golfer (aged nine through 17) is free – no entry fee, so we encourage all juniors to enter the tournament this year. They will receive the same benefits as those paying an entry fee.

Entry fee is $20 for passholders and $35 for nonpassholders, and includes nine holes of golf, lunch provided by The Dunraven Inn, prizes for winning teams in five divisions (Mens, Womens, Mixed, Junior and All-Junior) and for special

events, and a special gift for each player. Any player 17 or under is considered a junior.

Junior golfers will again be the big winners, as all proceeds from the tournament go to the Estes Park Junior Golf Program.

Over the past years, the tournament has given $19,398 to the program, to buy equipment and assist with scholarships for those who need financial assistance.

A welcome addition this year is the availability of golf carts at the 9hole course, which can be rented at the Pro Shop the day of the tournament for $10 per person for 9 holes.

Golfers may sign up as a single, two or three-some, or as a four-person team.

Entry forms are available at both golf courses, or call Nan Ryan at 970-5864242.

Meet Author Of “Loving Spirit” Dayle Spencer At Macdonald Book Shop On July 17th at Macdonald Book Shop there will be a special book-signing event honoring Estes Park resident author, Dayle E. Spencer. Her new book, “Loving Spirit, Self-help for the Journey of Loss,” is a how to recover manual based on twenty years of experience she has had in helping clients manage the major changes in their lives.

“Loving Spirit” is the second in a trilogy of books that Spencer is writing on how to transform our losses into experiences that actually make us stronger in the places where we are the most broken. Devon Dabbs, the Executive Director and Cofounder of Children’s Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition, said, “Loving Spirit is a beautifully written guide to rediscovering joy in the crevices of loss.”

Since the death of her only daughter, Allie, in 2011 Spencer has been writing about the grief process and what lessons we can learn from our losses in life. Her

first book, “Loving Allie, Transforming the Journey of Loss,” was part memoir and taught her readers that choosing not to be a victim after a major loss is a critical decision that impacts everything that comes thereafter.

In “Loving Spirit, Self-help for the Journey of Loss,” she gives the reader many tools, techniques and processes that anyone can use to gain a better perspective on the nature of loss itself, whether from the death of a loved one, or a personal or professional setback such as divorce, career change, illness or other types of loss.

“Loving Spirit” was written as a companion to “Loving Allie,” and serves as a practical and compassionate guide that empowers the reader to chart an individualized course to life beyond loss.

Dr. Gene Borkan, Psychiatrist, said of “Loving Spirit,” What is remarkable in

Jim Willets

this practical and straightforward book is the confidence and optimism in the reader. That he or she will encounter her own grief, engage her loss, and ultimately change to a new and healthy place.”

According to Spencer, the book is called “Loving Spirit” for many reasons.

We need to love our essential spirit, our self. We are surrounded by the spirits of those who have gone before and who hold us in loving and supportive ways.

We can be a force for good in the world, a loving spirit to those who are on the journey with us. And, we are all connected, spiritually, to the One loving spirit. The books comes from a place of loving spirit as it addresses an assortment of self-help tools that can assist someone who has experienced a major loss.

Spencer wants her readers to know that they are not powerless when they suffer a major loss in life, but rather they have the capacity to learn from the experience and to emerge stronger for it.

“Loving Spirit” has won pre-publication praise from a variety of clergy, ther-

apists, trauma specialists, and national leaders in grief-related issues.

Dayle E. Spencer has worn many hats.

She was a federal prosecutor, a law clerk to the federal appeals court, an international negotiator in civil war situations, and a corporate consultant. She has helped numerous clients work through many life transitions. However, her greatest learning came from the transformational understanding of loss.

Since the publication of her books on loss she has been leading workshops for grieving adults. Two such workshops were held this spring at the Estes Valley Library. Additionally, a new non-profit has been formed to allow this work to continue.

Please come by Macdonald Book Shop on Friday, July 17th, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and from 2-4 p.m. to meet Dayle, and her husband and collaborator, Will Spencer, who have been residents of our Estes community for the past decade.

For additional information, please visit Spencer’s website at: www.daylespencer.com

My Constitutional Provisions page referencing general laws is inclusive thereof and in addition to our rights by nature.

Know all men by these presents, I am; majority aged, sound minded, and competent to handle my affairs over all men. By my hand I freely state herein my personal knowledge of the facts. All the facts stated herein are true, correct, complete, and certain, admissible as evidence; this is testimony to their veracity.

1. I mailed certified filings on 18th May' 15 to you for a "county court" and a "district court" record on case 14265sc; both were subsequently removed on or about 21st May '15 from a "combined court" record in your official custody without authority. This is your wrongful act against me.

2. Written instruments mailed to any clerk is considered as entered upon their record regardless whether or not they've actually file stamped said documents and, whether or not they've been lost.

3. No clerk in any state of our union is capable of removing documents from a public record.

4. Our district courts are created by charter.

5. Our county courts are created by legislation.

6. There is nothing under general law allowing for a "combined court", this court is unlawful without deliberate participation. I have not participated. I do not participate.

7. You have acted to injure me, removing my documents from our public record without authority, conspiring against our general laws subsequently breaching your fiduciary duties.

8. You have no general law explaining your wrongful act against me.

9. You have no special law with my consent explaining your wrongful act against me.

10. You may have an administrative regulation explaining your act, but you cannot show me any authority whereby that alleged administrative regulation is binding upon me.

11. You have no contractual nexus with me whatsoever to explain your wrongful act against me.

12. I am not a court licensee and therefore, I am not subject to any courts' administrative processes.

13. You have harmed & damaged me as a result of your wrongful act in contractual breach to an amount equivalent to fifty pounds (50#) gold, which as of the date of your notice & opportunity would be similar to eight hundred seventy thousand six hundred twenty-five dollars ($870,625) specie under 12USC§411.

This stipulation is necessary as I'm not an expert in law, however I do know right from wrong. If there is any man, woman or, other person damaged by my statements herein, if you will inform me by facte I will sincerely make every effort to amend my ways. I hereby and herein reserve the right to amend and make amendments to this written instrument as necessary in order that truth may be ascertained and proceedings justly determined.

Schwartz violated his duty to me while conducting a tribunal I paid for by allowing for motions to be heard not under small claims' rules and, by allowing parties to have representatives without providing for their standing or agency after my demands. There is no authority for his act.

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

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

4. Our district courts are chartered.

5. Our county courts are had through legislation.

6. You're responsible for all Colorado's judicial persons.

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

8. You have no general law explaining your employees' wrongful acts against me.

9. You have no special law with my consent explaining your employees' wrongful acts against me.

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

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

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

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

This stipulation is necessary as I'm not an expert in law, however I do know right from wrong. If there is any man, woman or, other person damaged by my statements herein, if you will inform me by facts I will sincerely make every effort to amend my ways. I hereby and herein reserve the right to amend and make amendments to this written instrument as necessary in order that truth may be ascertained and proceedings justly determined. If the parties given notice by means of this document have information that would controvert and overcome this affidavit proving the particularity by stating all requisite actual evidentiary fact and all requisite actual law and not merely the ultimate facts or conclusions of law that an affidavit statement is substantially and materially false sufficiently to change materially by status and factual declarations. Your acquiescence is tacit procuration of the factual declarations herein being established as facts on record at law, and so it is done and final thirty(30) days from the date I make this public knowledge.

HEREBY MY SWORN STATEMENTS END CERTIFYING SERVICE FOR NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY I did mail, certified with return receipt, a true copy of this Notice & Opportunity in the nature of an Affidavit to Ms. Rice at her official address on or about my below-written date.

I declare (or, certify, verify or, state) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. 28USC§1746(1) Executed on June 3rd, 2015 sine prae/udicium e. & o.e. Constitutional Provisions, 1pg.

'NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY Greetings Allen; This is your notice I intend to sue you for violating the substantial rights you guaranteed me with your oath under general law. This is your opportunity to correct your fiduciary breach or in the least explain it to me. As such, in lieu of you showing me you've corrected yourself in accordance with my filings; I require you to explain in detail the exact authority you used to deprive me of our due process and, fair & equal treatment under general law. You have ten(10) days to rebut my factual statements hereunder as I intend on making this matter between us public at that time. I've included some specific general laws to notice & heed. My Constitutional Provisions page referencing general laws is inclusive thereof and in addition to our rights by nature.

Know all men by these presents, I am; majority aged, sound minded, and competent to handle my affairs over all men. By my hand I freely state herein my personal knowledge of the facts. All the facts stated herein are true, correct, complete, and certain, admissible as evidence; this is testimony to their veracity.

2. You allowed persons to be heard without providing me with their standing to be heard. You have no authority for this act.

6. Our county courts are created by special legislation, falling under special laws. You have limited authority in this court.

9. You have no general law explaining your wrongful acts against me.

10. You have no special law with my consent explaining your wrongful acts against me.

11. You have an administrative regulation explaining your act, but you cannot show me any authority whereby the administrative regulation is binding upon me.

12. You do not have a contractual nexus with me whatsoever to explain your wrongful acts against me.

13. You do have an obligation to uphold small claims' rules as I originally paid for my claim to be heard under such rules.

14. I am not a court licensee and therefore, I am not subject to any courts' administrative processes. You have no authority to cause me to comply with any.

15. You have harmed & damaged me as a result of your wrongful acts in contractual breach in public trust to an amount equivalent to seventy pounds (70#) gold, which as of the date of your notice & opportunity would be similar to one million two hundred eighteen thousand eight hundred seventy-five dollars ($1,218,875) specie under 12USC§411.
