Letting The “Vacation Vibe�

Rub Off On Us One of my favorite philosophers, Yogi Berra, once said. “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.â€? He could have been talking about Estes Park‌ Every year, about this time of the summer, I start hearing folks talking about how bad the traffic is, how crowded it is in town, and how there are so many people here. We do have some serious issues that need to be addressed as a community. Each year we seem to be getting more visitors. Parking restrictions at Bear Lake and other areas of the national park are a daily occurrence. Traffic backups getting through town can extend way past the U. S. 34/36 intersection. I’ve had many conversations with locals about the chaos at Safeway trying to buy groceries, and how challenging it is to get into a restaurant for lunch or dinner. A number of people have told me they just avoid downtown completely this time of year -- too many people, too crowded, too noisy, just too much of too much. ‌ Just waiting for the days in January when it’s quiet and there are no lines in the grocery store.

Crowds bring many serious issues, and Town staff is working with our friends at Rocky Mountain National Park and others in the community to keep this a premier mountain community for both our guests and our residents. But beyond the serious work on addressing the increasing number of visitors, there’s also the atmosphere and attitude toward summertime in Estes Park. To paraphrase Catherine the Great, ‘It either gives you inspiration or a headache.’ I have to admit, I actually enjoy the vibrance and atmosphere all the folks visiting from every corner of the globe bring to our town.

My wife, Jill, and I enjoy walking down Elkhorn in summer and watching and listening to all the people on vacation.

People are in a good mood. They’re on VACATION! Children are enjoying an ice cream cone or taffy. I love talking with people standing around taking pictures of the elk. They are amazed to see these magnificent creatures so close, just walking through town. I love the crazy

questions about the elk, bears, the elevation and -- what is the white stuff on top of the mountains? Yes, they sometimes stop in the middle of the road to snap a picture, but that is because this is such a special place. (I did the same thing in Florida when I saw an alligator, much to the chagrin of the locals, I’m sure.) People save their money all year for a vacation in our community. They feel fortunate to experience for a few days what we get to see yearround. I love the exuberance and excitement of the visitors who are so happy to finally be here.

It’s true, it’s harder to quickly stop for groceries on the way home, but it’s also a great place to people watch. It’s fun to hear the diversity of accents and languages. It’s fun to see families heading off to a camping trip, loading up on graham crackers, marshmallows and Hershey bars, or try to explain to them what 3.2 beer is and why it’s the only thing you can buy in the grocery store. Tshirts and baseball caps are great indicators‌ folks with the Cardinals T-shirt and cap, wandering the aisles with Cubby’s fans – obviously from Illinois.

Teens in high school letter jackets from everywhere in the country, and of course visitors from Europe, Asia and other international locales proudly wearing their new Estes Park, Colorado, T-shirts.

One of my favorite things to do is ask someone where are they from. Once they find out you are a local and actually LIVE here, I can’t tell you how many times people make a comment about how lucky we are and they are absolutely right. We are lucky to live here.

It’s nice to be reminded of that from time to time. I always end the conversation with telling them I’m glad they’re here.

So the next time you’re in a crowded restaurant or stuck in line at the grocery store, rather than get frustrated, take a deep breath and let some of the “vacation vibe� from those folks around you rub off a little bit, and remember how lucky we are to live here.

Daily News Headlines at www.epnews.com You know . . . . Well, if “you know” there’s no sense my telling you, but I’m going to anyway.

Did you ever wonder about all those folks who start “You know,” and then proceed to talk as though what you know (‘cause they said you do) you don’t know?

And usually during the conversation --assuming there is one --- they will remind you at least several times of what you know, and each time go right along telling you what it is they told you that you already know.

When somebody comes up to me, smiles, and says “You know,” I do know … that I am about to hear something I may or may not know, but nevertheless am going to have to listen to. Maybe a “speechologist” would explain that the speaker is pausing for a breath or to think, and doesn’t want the listener to use the dreadful silence of a pause to think on his own. The latter might begin “You know . . .” and then be off and running.

Recently I was orchestrating a trash pick-up along the highway. Many youngsters volunteered and helped out. At the end as I was packing away gloves and orange vests being returned, one maybe not quite teen age girl came up to me. “You know those big bags you gave us …” I wanted to answer, “We have had a passing acquaintance.”

As Abraham Lincoln I used to visit schools and interact with the youngsters.

I ask questions; they ask questions. It seemed, however, whether they were about to answer a question or put one to me, their first word was “Um.” I have

looked up “um” in the dictionary . . . and it isn’t there. There’s Ulysses and there’s Umayyad, but between them? You know by gum, there is no um. (Sounds like I ought to write a Dr. Seuss book.)

I didn’t find “um” in my thick French dictionary, and had the same lack of success in my equally thick Spanish one. I don’t know if there’s one in my German dictionary because I can’t read the German print.

I asked a teacher once “Does ‘um’ mean these people are from an Indian tribe?”

She smiled and answered, “It means they are going to speak.” In the next class I visited I asked if anyone had a question.

Sure enough one lad in a dark green pullover raised his hand and spoke, “Um.” I also asked him what it meant.

He seemed slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered with “You know….”

My father had his own expression to fill the pauses – “y’understand.” When he said “Y’understand,” the best thing to do was nod in agreement or do nothing. I do remember one occasion when his “Y’understand” was met by a “No, I don’t understand.” Totally unfazed, my father continued his monolog as though he had heard nothing. I’m sure you understand.

ON THE OTHER HAND I finally found an “um,” --- near the back at the very bottom of a page in my five hundred twenty page Portuguese dictionary, in the Portuguese-Ingles section. What does it mean? “One.” All that for …. Y’ understand!

Hefty Fines Imposed For Dumping Residential And Business Waste In Public Trash Bins With a surge in the use of public trash bins for illegal disposal of bags of residential and business trash and garbage, the Town of Estes Park is asking residents and shop owners to use a local trash collection service or the transfer station for waste disposal. Public Works employs a contractor to empty public trash cans on a schedule that meets the needs of typical public use. Problems arise when these cans rapidly fill because of household and business trash, often in grocery or trash bags, by people who do not want to pay for other disposal options. The result is overflowing trash bins and added cost to all tax payers.

Other consequences of using public containers for household waste: • It is against the law – essentially it is theft, or disposal without consent. Police officers can now cite offenders with a newly increased fine of up to $2,650.

• It creates extra work at taxpayer ex-

Old Fall River Road

pense for the Estes Park Police Department and Public Works Department staff.

• It creates an unhealthy environment for people and wildlife.

• It spoils the beauty of Estes Park.

• It can deter customer patronage of nearby businesses.

• When trash is thrown into a recycling container because the trash bin next to it is full, the contaminated recyclables cannot be recycled and become trash.

High Speed Communications, Water, Electricity -And You By: Town of Estes Park Utilities Director Reuben Bergsten

There are things we never think about - until they break. Reliable, highquality water and electric service are near the top of the list.

The Town of Estes Park’s Utilities Department strives to improve our services while minimizing costs.

The Utility’s Information Technology Division uses high-speed networks to support all Town operations and those networks are critical to the daily operations of your water and electric service.

The Water Division operates two treatment plants and over 100 miles of underground pipes. Electronic sensors continuously monitor raw water supplies, ensure storage levels for adequate fire protection, and track the quality of water delivered to you. Our high-speed communications networks make this happen 24/7. Without these networks, staffing would have to be increased to manually operate the water plants around the clock.

High-speed networks are paramount to electric operations. Over 10,000 meters, hundreds of fuses and two substations

must work together with the regional electric grid to provide continuous service. The term “Smart Grid” describes how great electric companies meet growing expectations. Smart meters have reduced the staffing required to visually “read” electric and water meters. In the not-too-distant future, all meters will “talk to each other” and self-report power quality problems and outages. Today, in limited areas, Estes Park Light & Power staff receive alerts as soon as an outage occurs. During the last windstorm, linemen were on the road to repair downed power lines before many customers woke up.

Reliability is essential to Platte River Power Authority, our wholesale electric provider. That reliability requires robust high-speed communications. They knew the single route of fiber optics to Estes Park was inadequate so they've approved construction of a high-speed backup network. It is under construction, and it will provide extra capacity to serve our community.

The importance of high-speed fiber optic networks to our water and electric service will continue to grow. Meanwhile the excess fiber can allow other agencies to add value to other services you need.

World Ranger Day Celebrated At RMNP Monday, July 31 The staff of Rocky Mountain National Park invite you to celebrate World Ranger Day with them as they recognize world conservation areas, and the professional staff, the rangers, that form the Thin Green Line around these most valuable resources. The free program will be held on Monday, July 31, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center auditorium. The international documentary, The Thin Green Line, will be shown, highlighting rangers around the world as they face dangers and protect resources.

The International Ranger Federation (IRF) was founded to support the work of rangers as the key protectors of the world’s protected areas. At the World Ranger Congress 2006 in Scotland, IRF delegates decided that July 31 of each year, beginning in 2007, would be a day dedicated to world rangers. The first World Ranger Day fell on the 15th anniversary of the founding of IRF on July 31, 1992.

In 1872, Yellowstone National Park in the United States became the world’s first federally designated national park. Since

then, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, over 100,000 protected areas, representing more than 10% of the earth’s landmass, have been established around the world.

The English word “ranger” reflects the guardians of the Royal Forests in 14th century England, protecting the King’s lands from poachers. Today, rangers in protected areas throughout the world continue this role for the public. Rangers are the key force protecting these resources from impairment. They do this through law enforcement, environmental education, community relations, fighting fires, conducting search and rescues, and in many other ways.

Come show your support for the rangers of the world at this free program Monday, July 31, 7 p.m. at Beaver Meadows Visitor Center.

For further information about Rocky Mountain National Park, please visit the park website at www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Secretary Zinke And Colorado Senator Gardner Announce More Than $50 Million For National Parks Infrastructure

NPS Centennial Challenge Program is Matching $20 Million in Congressional Funding with $33 Million from Partner Organizations to Support Maintenance Projects at National Parks U. S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke and Colorado Senator Cory Gardner announced today that the National Park Service is teaming up with partners across the nation to distribute nearly $50 million in high priority maintenance and infrastructure projects at 42 parks in 29 states. Congress provided $20 million for the projects as part of the Centennial Challenge program which will be matched by $33 million from more than 50 park partners to improve trails, restore buildings, and increase visitor access to parks.

Secretary Zinke and Senator Gardner made the announcement while visiting Rocky Mountain National Park, which will receive $200,000 in federal funds matched by $200,000 from the Rocky Mountain Conservancy to reduce deferred maintenance on the Alluvial Fan Trail.

“Our national parks span twelve time zones and attract more than 330 million visitors every year. Some locations, like Rocky Mountain National Park, attract millions of visitors alone. This puts an incredible stress on the aging infrastructure at our parks and thanks to Centennial Grants and the generosity of public-private partners, we are able to distribute funds to rebuild our parks, ” said Secretary Zinke. “Using public-private partnerships to help address the deferred maintenance backlog remains a priority for the Department and the Trump Administration. Park infrastructure includes trails, signage, restrooms, lodges, roads, bridges and waterlines. These funds will help us continue to provide a world-class experience to visitors and ensure that these amazing places are around for future generations. ” “Today, I stood alongside Secretary Zinke as he announced critical funding grants for Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park,” said Senator Cory Gardner. “We must continue to be good stewards of our National Parks and protect these treasures for future generations. I want to thank Secretary Zinke for highlighting a crown jewel of Colorado’s pub-

lic lands, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the dedicated Park employees that care for this land every day. ” “Many of the national parks that Americans treasure today would simply not exist without the strong partnerships and philanthropy that have benefited the national park idea for over a century, ” said Acting National Park Service Director Michael T. Reynolds. “The Centennial Challenge program continues that proud tradition by matching dollars from Congress with generous donations from dedicated partners to make high-impact improvements in parks. ” Examples of the more than 50 projects the Centennial Challenge program will fund this year using partner donations and federal matching funds include: Centennial Challenge funds will complement a donation announced last year from philanthropist David M. Rubenstein to the National Park Foundation that will repair and restore the Lincoln Memorial in addition to expanding educational resources and public access.

Funding from Yellowstone Forever will improve overlooks along the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

Friends of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park will restore heavily used frontcountry trails in the park.

The Gettysburg Foundation will help create a multi-use trail at Gettysburg National Military Park that will connect the visitor center to a historic farm that was used as a field hospital during the battle.

Friends of Saguaro National Park, the Western National Park Association, and G. Arthur Jansson are teaming up to create an accessible outdoor classroom space at Saguaro National Park.

Since 2015 the National Park Service has leveraged over $45 million in funding from congress through the Centennial Challenge program to attract more than $77 million from partner organizations to support over hundreds of projects across the country that have improved visitor services and strengthened partnerships to reinvigorate national parks.

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

The Town expects to hire a construction contractor in September 2017. Construction of the new bridge will take place October 2017 through May 2018 to avoid the high-traffic season and reduce impacts to businesses and the roadway as much as possible. Construction will require a full road closure of Moraine Avenue from Elkhorn Avenue to Rockwell Street occurring October 2017 until May 2018, tentatively. A one-week closure of Elkhorn Avenue at Moraine Avenue is expected in November to allow for buried water and sewer utility upgrades.

Sidewalk access to local businesses adjacent to the work zone will remain open.

From Rockwell Street south to the Davis Street parking lot entrance, Moraine Avenue is expected to be limited to one lane for southbound traffic NovemberJanuary for upgrades to the buried electrical lines.

Moraine Avenue will remain open to

two-way traffic south of the Davis Street parking lot throughout this project.

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

Using all available space, an upgraded Moraine Avenue Bridge will significantly increase the capacity to convey floodwater within the Fall River channel. The Moraine Avenue Bridge is one of five downtown bridges identified as top priorities for flood mitigation. Other flood mitigation projects are needed for the downtown area, and the Town continues to diligently research and pursue funding opportunities to implement the projects necessary to help reduce the flood risk for the downtown area.

For more information, contact the Town of Estes Park Public Works Department at 970-577-3587. For more information on this project, please visit the project page at www.estes.org/moraineavenuebridge.

Glen Haven Historic Cabin Tours This Sunday!

While northern Colorado’s population boom and rapid development have been dramatically changing its landscape, among the jewels that remain is the town of Glen Haven. Growing up in New York City, I loved hearing stories of my mom’s adventures at her Glen Haven cabin, which her family bought in 1942. Who needed running water, plumbing or electricity? She’d spend summers hiking with a gang of kids, hiring horses from the stables, stopping into the general store for a pop. Those stables closed years ago, but the site is an important location for the town: it’s where our Town Hall, destroyed in the flood of 2013, will be re-built. To that end, Glen Haven will host its first historic cabin tour on Sunday July 30th to raise money for this project.

I first visited the town in 1975 when an aunt bought a cabin there; and ten years ago, I was able to join the community thanks to her. I was thrilled to befriend one of my mom’s hiking buddies (whose cabin will be on the tour), not so

thrilled by the prospect of an outhouse (they are “grandfathered� in

- not sure

my grandfather would have liked to be associated with outhouses), and even less thrilled to see photos of Town Hall, built by the community in 1944 and used for meetings, potlucks, religious services, weddings and other events -- crumpled and washed into the general store nearly four years ago.

Restoration work has been ongoing since the flood: the road through town was rebuilt, the General Store has gone back to its thriving business, The Inn of Glen Haven has finally re-opened. A new Town Hall is the final project residents have come together to complete and many fundraisers have been organized.

The recorded history of Glen Haven starts with the Knapp family, which operated a sawmill there in 1897; the family helped the Boulder Presbytery found a “dry� ministers’ retreat on the land in the early 1900s. That group created a landowners association, which went on

to build the general store in the 1920s and the Inn in the 1930s.

The cabins on tour are some of the oldest in town. A few are in their original condition, while some have been restored with great care and artistry.

One still bears the Knapp family name, to honor those founders. Other cabins have been passed down through generations. One of the oldest structures is a chapel built by the Boulder Presbytery in 1909. Couples would tie the knot in the chapel, then head upstairs to start their honeymoons.

The tour begins on the site where Town Hall will be built and continues on foot for a mile along a shady streamside road, so bring your walking shoes. Participants can walk as much of that route as they like, exploring historic cabins, stopping for homemade refreshments, and getting an inside look at a community whose grit has become almost as legendary as the cinnamon buns on sale at the General Store.

Specifics: Tour date: Sunday July 30th, 10 a.m.2 p.m.

Tickets are $12 in advance; $15 day of; kids under 12 free.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com It was time to open the bottle of red. I used the tip of my corkscrew to pierce a hole in the top of the heavy foil wrapper, then began cranking that corkscrew, tilting the bottle and pushing as I turned, to imbed the rotor in the cork. The cork resisted, as they always do, and then suddenly the opener plunged through the cork as if it were made of air.

Because it was made of air. There was no cork. I was uncorking a screw top bottle of wine. Gads, I hoped no one was watching!

What this meant was not that I bought a cheap bottle of wine, but that we’d have to drink the whole bottle in one sitting because now the cap had a big hole in it.

Darn!

Just kidding. What we couldn’t drink, we could give to the neighbors’ cat.

Just kidding. I like cats. They taste a lot like chicken.

Just kidding again. See what too much wine will do to me?

Just kidding. Honest. I don’t drink much wine anymore. One glass is ok but a second glass and I wake up with a dehydration headache the next morning. There’s a name for this intolerance of wine. It’s called “old age. ” I’m getting there.

It’s hard to believe, but what I’m trying to say is that every time I open a bottle of wine, I contemplate the potential of its cork. Because I don’t know what else to do with it, I toss the cork into the miscellaneous drawer—the place for things that don’t have a place. Twisty-ties, rubber bands, spent batteries (mixed in with good ones. But which ones are which?), fast food packets of soy sauce and crushed red pepper, unsharpened pencils, plastic nametag holders that we forgot to turn in at the end of the conference, old phone chargers…that sort of thing.

But sometimes I’ll set the cork on the ledge above the sink, thinking if I keep it in sight, some practical uses for it might come to mind.

It seems like cork should be a rare commodity, an endangered substance, but really it is quite environmental. Cork is the bark of the cork oak tree, which grows in southern European countries including

Portugal and Spain.

The bark is stripped from the tree with no damage to the tree, and then the tree regrows the bark, making it a renewable resource. So every time we throw a wine cork away (if we don’t sweep it into the junk drawer), we are throwing away something that is renewable, recyclable, and reusable.

So what can we do with all of those wine corks? We can make: Knife blade holders, trivets, coasters, bulletin boards, fishing bobbers, wreaths, pincushions, we can crush it up for garden mulch, make garland and Christmas tree ornaments, and if all else fails, wine corks make attractive big jar filler-uppers. I even had a bathroom floor made of cork once. It was soft and cushiony and warm (it was in sheets, not hundreds of wine corks glued together on the floor).

All that said, there is something to the elegant ritual of removing the cork from the wine bottle. The slow and deliberate coercing of the stopper, the pop when it finally gives, the sniffing of the cork, (the attempt to put a swelled cork back in the bottle later) …it’s all part of the presentation of the wine.

A screw cap is not as classy, although they say you can find many high-end wines with screw caps these days. And if we have a screw cap, we get to pour the wine a smidge sooner and the wine is more approachable (the sommelier’s term for user friendly and yummy).

If, after all that wine, you aren’t inclined to be particularly crafty but are feeling rather sleepy instead, you can take a nap and when you wake up, you can ship off your corks for money. Yemm & Hart (www.yemmhart.com) will pay you $500 if you send them at least 15 pounds, or about 1500 corks, to Marquand, MO. I’ll drink to that.

Tickets Still Available For Tour Of Historic Stanley Home Limited Supply Available!

Since opening reservations for tickets on July 21st, a good share of the available seats have been taken, but there is still room on the shuttle for you and your guests to enjoy the tour of Mr. Stanley’s home on August 5th.

The tours will be the Foundation’s contribution to the excitement building for the 80517 Centennial Celebration on Saturday, August 5th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Bond Park.

The 1st Annual Founders Day will be the first public event for the Foundation, whose mission includes purchasing the home to dedicate it as a cultural center for local history education.

The only access to the home, will be for individuals with tickets and all tours will leave from Bond Park. Only shuttle buses will be allowed on the home grounds and all taking tours will arrive at the home by bus only.

A tour of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley’s home is an opportunity to see firsthand the place where many good things started to ensure that Estes Park would become the amazing destination that it is today. We look forward to seeing you at Rockside, a short shuttle ride from Bond Park!

Great Decisions Meeting August 1 The next Great Decisions discussion will be on Latin America’s political pendulum. The pendulum of Latin American politics is swinging rightward once again. Yet as the “pink tide” recedes, the forces of change have more to do with socioeconomics than ideology. Dramatic economic and political crises have coincided in countries like Brazil and Venezuela. Still, the final result for Latin America may be the emergence of centrist, pragmatic modes of governance,

and with them, opportunities for the U.S. to improve relations. The new administration must look beyond the neoliberal model of the 1990s, and develop an approach to relations fit for the 21st century.

Come and join us to discuss foreign policy choices for the US regarding Latin America, August 1st at 11:30 a.m. in the Wasson Room of the Estes Valley Library!

First Phase Of Reclamation Neighborhood Water Line Upgrades Begin July 31 Water taps, line installation and repaving will require traffic control at intersections with Highway 7 The Town of Estes Park Water Division will begin the first phase of water line upgrades in the Reclamation Neighborhood approximately July 31. This will include new taps and water lines at the intersections of Highway 7 with First, Second, Third and Fourth Streets, as well as repaving of the work areas. This phase of the project is expected to be complete by early September, weather permitting.

Water main tapping and installation of new lines requires traffic control, which will move from one intersection to the next in approximately one-week intervals. Work will begin at the Fourth Street intersection the week of July 31, and is scheduled to progress north to Third Street (Aug. 7), Second Street (Aug. 14) and First Street (Aug. 21). The Fourth Street work will require a lane closure but through, two-way traffic will be maintained. The remaining streets may require full closures near the intersection of Highway 7. Access to all businesses and residences will be maintained through detours. Closure of one north-

bound lane of Highway 7 will be required periodically; two-way traffic will be maintained on Highway 7. Water service to the area including the Bulk Water Dispenser on Fourth Street should not be impacted by the project.

This is the first of six anticipated phases of the mainline replacement project in the Reclamation Neighborhood that will replace the existing four-inch steel mainline with new eight-inch ductile iron pipe and the addition of fire hydrants. This project will take place over the next few years and will include upgraded connections for each customer's water service.

As future phases are scheduled, the Water Division will contact property owners to discuss the timing and placement of the service line as well as the restoration of the disturbed area and landscaping.

Project updates will be posted at www.estes.org/reclamationwaterproject.

For more information, please contact Water Distribution Supervisor Cliff Tedder at 970-577-3622 or ctedder@estes.org or Administrative Assistant Brenda Wyss, at 970-577-3619 or bwyss@estes.org.

Park and Recreation Month is down to the final few days. A couple of events remain and there is still time to enter our photo contest. Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) wants you to keep getting outdoors to discover the power of play at your local parks and recreation facilities, even beyond the month of July.

An initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Park and Recreation Month has been celebrated since 1985 to highlight the vital and powerful role local parks and recreation, such as EVRPD, play in conservation, health and wellness, and community involvement.

In these final days of July, EVRPD recommends these outdoor activities: - Free mini soccer clinic: For Friday, July 28, bring the kids to Stanley Park for a free mini-soccer clinic. Times are 4 p.m. for children ages 4 to 8 and 5:30 p.m. for children ages 9 to 14.

- Watch the softball tournament. On the morning of Saturday, July 29, head over to Stanley Park and watch the annual softball tournament. Our co-ed and men's softball leagues have been busy playing for almost eight weeks and now it is time to crown a champion. Join us for a fun day of competitive play to see who takes home the title.

- Weekly photo contest: There are just

three days left to enter our photo contest for a chance to win a 20-punch pass to the new Estes Valley Community Center.

Since this is a short week, let’s open up the contest to submissions of topics from the previous four weeks: family and friends in great light, wildlife and wildflowers of Estes Valley and Rocky Mountain National Park, fun on Lake Estes and favorite recreation activity in Estes Park. Post the photos to our Facebook stream (www.facebook.com/evrpd). Include #PlayOnEstesPark in the post to be included in the contest.

EVCA Kicks Off Volunteer Program By: Linda Wisneski and Jessica Szafoni

SHOP AT DOWNTOWN ESTES PARKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PREMIER RETAIL STORE!

New OPEN EVERYDAY 10AM - 7PM (970) 577-0831 | 100 E Elkhorn Ave

Estes Valley Crisis Advocates (EVCA) provides vital and immediate crisis intervention services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Staff, volunteers, and partner organizations work endlessly to provide free services to survivors of crime and trauma, including safe housing for domestic violence survivors, counseling, assistance with victims compensation, referrals to emergency services, and outreach and education. Beyond that, they work to maintain the Estes Park community we all want to be part of.

The medley of people behind EVCA are compassionate, professional, smart, resourceful, empathetic, enthusiastic, hopeful, dedicated and so much more.

The success of the agency depends on a variety of people willing to offer their precious time. Time is money, but for a volunteer it is also experience gained, skills shared, knowledge broadened, people met, causes served, and fun had.

People turn to volunteerism for a variety of reasons: â&#x20AC;˘ You might love your community and want to contribute to its quality and residents. EVCA is a bit of a hidden gem, in part for reasons of confidentiality, but its impact resonates throughout your community and among your fellow residents every day. â&#x20AC;˘ Some people seek out volunteer opportunities because they are bored, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great! Volunteer opportunities are broad; you can cure your boredom with a one-time task or year-long commitment to volunteerism or a volunteer experience in between. â&#x20AC;˘ Others have an inherent urge to help.

Embrace this part of your identity and take pride in your desire to lend a hand or a heart. People are surprised by the confidence that stems from acting on that urge.

â&#x20AC;˘ Some find fulfillment, and maybe even healing, in contributing to a cause that hits home. â&#x20AC;˘ Plenty of people also volunteer as a way of meeting people. For those new to the area or anyone who wants to feel more a part of the community, volunteerism is one of the easiest ways to meet like-minded and/or open-minded people. While making a difference, of course! â&#x20AC;˘ Volunteering is a major professional and social accomplishment, whether you helped out at a fundraising event, did some landscaping, or served as an on-call Advocate. Every single volunteer opportunity is necessary. Who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to feel accomplished? â&#x20AC;˘ In addition to contributing to a cause important to the community, volunteers often gain social and health benefits they never expected but certainly deserve.

EVCA is well aware of the significance of volunteerism and the role it plays in lives of individuals. The agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus is on creating mutually beneficial opportunities for individuals to volunteer in ways that suit them. Whether through maintenance and groundwork, community education, administrative tasks, Advocacy, writing and editing, volunteering with a group, or a customized opportunity, EVCA wants to find a way for everyone to participate in furthering an important cause.

Being involved with EVCA is contributing to the heartbeat of the Estes Park.

The agency is ever-excited to grow its volunteer base and seeking out individuals from all corners of the community.

Contact 970-577-9781 or admin@crisisadvocates.org to learn more about how EVCA advocates for those in crisis and the volunteer opportunities the agency can offer you.

July Silent Films Finish With Charlie Chase The July 28 date of the silent movie festival will feature Charlie Chase. Charlie’s films are different from many of the other silent films of the era. Chase felt his films featured “thinking man’s comedy” as opposed to the slapstick that was prevalent during the silent film era.

Crazy and ironic situations replaced banana peels and flying pies as the vehicles for humor. While slapstick reigned supreme in many films, Chase’s films were more like a situational comedy. He often found himself in situations which reminds some of the Lucy episodes of 1950s television.

In the first film, “Mighty Like a Moose,” Chase appears on screen with huge buck teeth and his wife has a very large nose.

Without telling their spouses, they seek professional help to improve their appearance.

Chase’s teeth get fixed, and his wife’s nose becomes one of normal proportions.

At a chance meeting, they become interested in each other, not realizing the real identity of the other. The intended infidelity produces some humorous situations.

The second film is “Bromo and Juliet”.

Chase tries to impress a woman he admires by acting in the play “Romeo and Juliet.” Some bootleg liquor, an overindulgent father and some bad luck contribute to a very entertaining and humorous situation.

The third film, “Fluttering Hearts” is a favorite of piano accompanist Scott “Flying Fingers” Wilseck. In this one Chase

comes to the rescue of a sweet young lady and her father who are blackmailed by the villain played by Oliver Hardy. The result of his actions produce some wild escapades on the screen.

The silent movie fest takes place every Friday in July and August at the Historic Park Theatre. The films start at 5 p.m., but the old time piano music will start 30 minutes earlier. Live music accompanies the action on the screen to produce great family entertainment.

Youth Drama Camp To Present Shrek The Musical, JR. The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies has been sponsoring a two week summer camp in Estes Park for youth that has been taking place from July 17th through July 28th. Students auditioned in April for parts in Shrek the Musical, Jr. The 26 young actors and four members of the technical crew will present the beloved story of the large green ogre this weekend. The actors, under the direction of Lisa Mann, have been participating in acting and team building exercises at rehearsals. With the help of Michael Young, the technical crew has re-created the swamp and the kingdom where the story unfolds.

The lovely story is based on the animated film of one very grumpy ogre

who lives alone in a swamp. When the conniving Lord Farquaad expels all the fairy tale characters from his kingdom, Shrek is forced on an adventure with many interesting characters including the rather unorthodox Princess Fiona.

There is great humor and spectacular musical numbers in this play, making it great family entertainment.

The production will be held at Estes Park High School this Saturday, July 29th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, July 30th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are available at Macdonald Book Shop and online at www.fineartsguild.org. Tickets for adults are $10.00 and children under 18 are $5.00. There is also a Family Four Pack for $25.00.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this great show!

Estes Park N.O.W (Night of Worship) is taking place on Saturday, July 29th, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. This event will be held at the Performance Park amphitheater in downtown Estes Park. The address for Performance Park is, 435 W Elkhorn Ave, Estes Park, CO 80517. Having a night of worship in Estes Park has been a dream of two 19 year olds, Jonah Engle and Bryce Bauman, ever since they came out to live in Estes Park for the summer.

They are both currently studying Pastoral Ministry at Spring Arbor University in Spring Arbor, Michigan. This night will be dedicated to strengthening, supporting, and encouraging the beautiful community of Estes Park through worship, testimony, and prayer. Come on out and encounter the presence of God as a community! Bring a chair, come as you are, and join the fun!

The cast: Lenny Magrath, the oldest sister Chick Boyle, the sisters’ first cousin Doc Porter, Meg’s old boyfriend Meg Magrath, the middle sister Babe Botrelle, the youngest sister Barnette Lloyd, Babe’s lawyer The script indicates that the characters are in their late 20s and early 30s.

Under New Ownership, Hollywood’s Dance Bar Hosts Official Ribbon Cutting

Photo and article courtesy of Estes Valley Partners for Commerce

On Friday morning, July 21, members of Estes Park’s town government and local organizations gathered to celebrate Cory and Abi Clifton, new owners of Hollywood’s Dance Bar (formerly known as Kelli’s Lounge). Estes Valley Partners for Commerce (EVPC) sponsored the Ribbon Cutting. Attendees included Charley Dickey and McShan Walker, board members of EVPC; Town of Estes Park Trustee Ward Nelson, Mayor Pro Tem Wendy Koenig, and Assistant Town Administrator Travis Machalek; Visit Estes Park President & CEO Elizabeth Fogarty and Partner & Group Development Manager Abi Huebner; and Adam Shake with the Estes Park EDC. The Cliftons had the following to share about their history in Estes Park and their new venture with Hollywood’s: As the owners of the newly renovated Hollywood's Dance Bar we are so proud to be a young local family owning and operating our own Estes Park business! I, Cory Clifton, grew up in this quaint little town and I also help operate my family's downtown business, Mountain Blown glass. My wife, Abi Clifton, was born and raised in Fort Collins but has lived here in Estes for the last five years. Aside from helping mainly with the renovations and some day to day operation at Hollywood's, Abi also helps run her family’s owned and operated business based in

Fort Collins.

Outside of work and business we have an almost two year old little girl who keeps us very busy. She loves to be outside just like her parents. We also have two dogs and two cats so life can be very hectic at times, but we wouldn't have it any other way! We are so excited and proud to be a part of this community and especially in the club of locally owned and operated businesses in the beautiful Estes Park.

So please come on by Hollywood's to check out all the improvements we have made and enjoy our crazy drink specials!

We so look forward to your feedback and support of our little family!

Cheers to Estes - The Cliftons Hollywood’s is located at 110 ½ West Elkhorn Avenue and is on Facebook at www.facebook.com/hollywoodsep. They have a live DJ going from 10:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays; they also host a Latino Night on Wednesdays and a Paint N Sip Thursdays with locally famous artist Michael Young (register at paintnsipestespark.com).

Estes Valley Partners for Commerce is proud to sponsor ribbon cutting events for new businesses or businesses under new ownership in the Estes Park area.

Give Long And Prosper Did you know that people who give live longer? I am absolutely certain there is a study proving this! True or not, you can do things today to make sure your love for the Estes Valley lasts forever.

Monday evening, August 7, 6:30-8:00 p.m., at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, Estes Valley Legacy presents Give Long and Prosper.

This hands-on workshop shows you how to provide enough for you, enough for your family and enough for the future of this heaven on earth called Estes Park.

Here’s what Estes Park residents Ginger and Ivan Wilkinson have to say about workshop presenter, Jerry Kennell: “We spent approximately one hour with Jerry Kennell, EVL Representative, as he explored giving options, goals and tools for giving. This encounter has motivated us to consider modifications to

our will and to have discussions with our children as to how they may be impacted by our decisions. We hope our example will encourage you to also evaluate your position in relation to the Legacy giving."

It’s so easy not to bother. And the government loves it. They have a plan for your legacy if you don’t have your own.

So come on out – in fact, show up at 6:00 p.m. for light refreshments provided by our hosts, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue. And the coolest thing is, we can guarantee you’ll have a parking spot on a lovely summer evening in Estes Park!

“ANSWERS THAT ‘MATCH’” I was at the check-out counter at Safeway last week when I heard something that really caught my attention…and my admiration. A tourist approached a young male employee of Safeway and said: “I have a question!” Immediately he said: “I have an answer. Let’s see if they match!” I told him later how much I enjoyed his response and told him that he should ‘patent’ it. However, if he did, I may be in trouble for this article. I feel that there was so much wisdom in his response. And so many applications for it.

If you were to pose the woman’s request to someone in Washington, it seems to me that most of the ‘answers’ wouldn’t ‘match’. In these days we hear many requests directed toward our national leaders, only to note that their answers do not ‘match’. They are, all-too-often, brushed aside, ignored, or answered by drawing attention to someone else’s fault or failure to act. Those answers do not ‘match’. I suspect that many of us Americans these days are very turned off by such behavior. It probably isn’t something we can do much about, but we can continually look for avenues that open up for us getting ‘answers that match’, and, if such are not forthcoming, to vote in, when we can, those who will address the questions and issues...with ‘answers that match’.

But, we have to admit that our politicians are not the only ones whose answers ‘do not match’. Ask anyone who is dealing with an addiction about their ‘choice’ to drink or drug, and their answer usually will not ‘match’. “It was my parents’ fault. They did certain things to themselves or to me, and that justifies me doing what I am doing to myself!” All too often that same kind of mindset is observed on the part of those who commit criminal deeds, drive drunk and injure others, or commit other deeds that society considers offensive, even despicable. And they do it because all-too-often, it works. “Poor baby!” we say when they come up for trial and we ‘slap their hands’ and turn them lose to do other such things that cause pain to themselves or others. It’s time that our laws and rules began to require people to give answers that ‘match’.

One of the good things about the Bible is that it ‘gives answers that match’ and encourages people to do so. When people addressed God, one of the prophets or one of the apostles with a question, the answer almost always ‘matched’. A man asked Jesus what was needed to ‘get eternal life’. Jesus’ answer ‘matched’. “Keep the commandments!” and, eventually, ‘Get rid of overly coveted possessions and come follow me!” The man didn’t want an answer that ‘matched’ and he walked away because of the cost. In a parable Jesus talked about a man who ‘hid the Master’s money’ instead of using it. When the question was asked: “Why?” His answer did not ‘match’. Instead of acknowledging his fault, he, like many in the political world, and of us, placed the blame on his Master to justify his sin. When people in the Bible asked, “What must I do to be saved?”, the answer always ‘matched’. It wasn’t, ‘go ask a preacher’, ‘go check in your man-authored religious books’, the answer always ‘matched’: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ!”, “Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins!”, “Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins!” or similar ‘matching’ answers. Accept them.

Readers, let’s all commit ourselves to being like my admired Safeway clerk and, when ‘someone has a question’, let’s give them answers that ‘match’. God bless. Bob

Summer Shopping Fun

It is truly summer in Estes Park. As I write this all my windows are open, the sky is clouding over for our typical afternoon shower and my little dog, Skye, is lying in the open doorway barking halfheartedly at cars driving by.

The Village Thrift Shop celebrated its first anniversary last month. And what a year it was! We were able to donate $93,000 to the non-profits in our beautiful valley due to the wonderful donations we received from our community. These non-profits support the citizens of this special place with food, shelter, music, art, pet rescue, crisis assistance, history and many, many other programs and projects.

Pop into the Village Thrift Shop any Monday through Saturday and you will see a bunch of busy volunteers sorting through donations, hanging donations, arranging displays, clearing out the dressing rooms, picking up toys and sitting up front at the register checking out shopper’s “discoveries.” The donations we have received this summer, while greatly and truly appreciated, have also been a bit overwhelming for the all-volunteer staff.

Sometimes we receive items that cannot be sold. We ask that when you donate to ask yourself, “would I buy this item in the condition it is in now?” When we have items that cannot be resold, we recycle and sometimes, when they cannot be recycled, simply toss them. We really hate throwing things into the landfill so we recycle as much as possible. The Epilepsy Foundation once came to Estes

Park for our recycling but no longer comes so we must recycle ourselves. We take recycling to Longmont or Loveland.

People who wish can take bags of recycling for us receive .50 cents off their shopping for every bag they take. When a shirt or a pair of pants only costs $2.00, that can really add up!

A couple of other quick notes: please only drop off items during day hours when we are here. We have a free area for people to take from but please don’t drop off there. Bring all items to the back of the store where you will be met by smiling volunteers who are actually excited to go through your stuff. (At least I am.)

The Village Thrift Shop would really welcome some more volunteers. You don’t need to be a full- time resident. We would love to have our summer folk join us, meet our other terrific volunteers and be a part of this fun environment. We especially need volunteers that have strong shoulders, know how to price automotive stuff and well, you get the message I’m sure. You can choose your own day or days and how many hours you can give.

It is certainly a worthwhile endeavor – remember: $93,000 to our local nonprofits in one year (our first year!) that give so much to our mountain community! Funding they would not receive if volunteers didn’t come in every day to keep this place running. Come join us – you won’t be disappointed.

Mary Mesropian, EP Village Thrift Shop Monday volunteer (and sometimes Fridays too!) The Village Thrift Shop is located at 1138 Manford Ave.

This will be the second bronze piece he has been commissioned to create in Estes Park. Last fall Betti and Glanz installed their sculpture of F. O.

Estes Park Medical Center Is Beckoning Your Voice The Hospital is Seeking Your View of Health Estes Park Medical Center (EPMC) is dedicated to creating and maintaining programs that align with the needs of the community.

To assess the continuously evolving health of the community, EPMC held its first stakeholders meeting to identify population health priorities. Community leaders that attended included representation from the Good Samaritan Society, Larimer County Public Health Department, the Town of Estes Park, and Crossroads.

The purpose of the convening was to identify trends among quantitative population health statistics. Participants analyzed trends among the social determinants of health in Estes and surrounding areas, and then gained consensus of gaps where the community should focus. This is just the beginning of the assessment, while the second part of the process will delve into the perspectives of community members, as a whole.

Larry Leaming with EPMC understands the vital need to understand the public’s lifestyles and view of their families’ health.

“A culture of health starts and is grown in each and every household. True health includes not only how the body is functioning, but also how people live their lives. We need to know these details if we’re going to improve our community and ensure its sustainability,” said Leaming.

The survey is active, and all community

members are encouraged to share their opinions. EPMC acknowledges that it serves a diverse population, therefore, it is offered in three languages: English, Spanish, and Russian. Please visit the links below to find your language and offer your perspective.

Surveys will be accepted until Sunday, August 13th. Paper copies are available at the hospital’s main building. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EPMC_ English https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EPMC_ Spanish https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EPMC_ Russian EPMC offers a full scope of health services from acute to primary care. Designated as a rural critical access hospital, the organization maintains 25 hospital beds, and operates a 60 bed skilled nursing facility. Community members and visitors can get all their healthcare needs met including physical therapy, general surgery, and cardiology, to name a few.

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

Principles taught in class will help you become a more confident painter with any medium and method, whether painting en plein air or in the studio. Coni will bring landscape reference material and work with the class in the morning with a paint-a-long demo.

Summer Book Sale: 40,000 Reasons To Celebrate By: Sarah Walsh, Development Director, Estes Valley Library

With some 40,000 books for sale, there’s bound to be something for everyone.

All year long, the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation sort and sell gently-used books—in the Library’s used book nook—and at the seasonal Holiday Book Sale. But the summer sale is our pinnacle event. This year, books, DVDs, and CDs will be sorted for easy browsing in 24 major categories, forming a shopper’s delight. It’s a grand tradition that’s only one week away: August 4 through 6.

Volunteers are now busy preparing for the sale, so we ask that you hold your book donations until after the sale.

Each day of this super-sized sale holds its own unique charm, so here’s a helpful overview.

Friday, August 4 is when it all begins.

There are cookbooks, mysteries, children’s books, fiction, history, self-help, collectible books, just to name a few categories.

Friday’s sale, open from 4 pm to 8 pm, is for Friends & Foundation members only. But don’t worry—if you’re not a member, it’s easy and not expensive to join. You can purchase a membership at the door or at the Library in advance.

New this year, you can join online — just look for the “Join the Friends of the Library” button within our estesvalleylibrary.org homepage events listings.

Saturday’s sale is open to all, members and non-members alike. And the hours, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offer lots of time to browse in a relaxed setting.

Sunday’s sale is also open to everyone.

That day, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., you can fill an entire bag with books for just $7.

To keep things fair, we provide the bags (Safeway plastic bag size), so quantities stay consistent.

Where does all this happen? A familiar place with a new name. This year’s sale is at the Ridgeline Hotel (formerly Rocky Mountain Park Inn), adjacent to the Estes Park Conference Center the Highway 7 & Highway 36 junction. There’s plenty of parking from the Stanley Avenue entrance.

The Summer Book Sale supports many important Library objectives. It provides critical financial assistance for the Friends & Foundation to be able to support projects like One Book One Valley and expanded access to digital collections and research databases.

The sale provides an eco-friendly path to give a second (or third or fourth) life to used books by connecting them to eager readers, which in turn supports community literacy.

Last and not least, the Book Sale is one of our most joyful traditions: a community-spirited bookfest powered by volunteerism and the spirit of discovery for all ages. In any given year, you never know what gems you’ll find.

We express gratitude to all our volunteer book sorters and book movers whose dedication make this effort a perennial success. And we thank our community for the generosity in donating so many books throughout the year.

Here’s to a delightful upcoming weekend of book sale bliss.

Author Susan Planck Shares “Tales Of A Wandering Bagpiper” The popular weekly Our Wonderful World series continues this Monday, July 31, with a presentation by author and traveler Susan Hadley Planck titled “Tales of a Wandering Bagpiper.” Sponsored by the Estes Valley Library, the presentation takes place at 7:00 p.m. at the Estes Park High School Auditorium at 1600 Manford Avenue.

In her travels around the globe, Planck has combined her love of piping with her love of adventure, trekking with her bagpipes to the top of Mt. Fuji, as well as marching within the exhilarating skirl of 10,000 bagpipers through the streets of Edinburgh in the 2000 Millennium Parade.

She has serenaded mystified onlookers with bagpipe tunes on the Great Wall of China.

Planck is a seasoned traveler and the author of “Piping Hot!: Tales of a Wandering Bagpiper.”

She has a background in education and she operated a climbing school in Washington state. Monday’s presentation will weave together many of Planck’s favorite travel destinations and the encounters she had while bringing her bagpipes along for the journeys.

For more information about this summer’s full Our Wonderful World schedule, visit estesvalleylibrary.org. A full listing of this summer’s series is also available in print and online inside the Library’s program and services publication titled “Gatherings.”

July Arts And Commerce A Barrel Of Fun The Arts and Commerce Networking events are an opportunity for artists to gain some visibility and for business and organizations to fill blank walls.

This contributes to the esoteric environment of the Estes Valley. But it goes beyond that. When businesses forge interlaced bonds, it contributes to the strength of the village environment and enhances customer service throughout the valley.

So it was at the July 20 happening, hosted by The Barrel in their new location, 215 Moraine Ave., and deliciously catered by the Deli at Country Market.

Since Reintarnation plays at the Barrel on Thursdays, many stayed to continue the party into the evening.

A brainchild of the Estes Valley Partner for Commerce and the Estes Arts District, these gatherings occur on the third Thursday of each month. Although some events are restricted to members and guests, the occasion at The Barrel was open to all business owners and local Estes Valley artists. Contact www.estesvalleypartners.com (EVPC) or www.estesartsdistrict.org (EAD) for information about next month.

Diana Wade And Jade Windell Featured At Art Center The Art Center of Estes Park is pleased to announce the upcoming show “Time in a Bottle” featuring Loveland artist Diana Wade and her guest Artist Jade Windell, also of Loveland. This show begins August 1, runs through September 10, 2017, and is sponsored by Fort Collins artist Bonnie Bowne.

The public is invited to join us for the show reception Friday, August 4, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

About her show Diana says “My long time passion for music and lyrics, my newfound passion for collage and mixed media and a treasure trove of old family

photos and other ephemera have come together for you to ponder as you step into our “Time in a Bottle.” Recurring themes of immortality, reaching out across time, and the common threads that bind us altogether through time, dominate the show. The timelessness of materials and form in my guest artist Jade’s beautiful stone sculptures and the evocative memories in my husband Gary’s wonderful photographs that have always inspired and informed my work are integral to the message of this show.

We’re all reflected in the same mirror...the mirror of time. ” For Jade Windell, the “Time in a Bottle” show is “A time stamp that captures an emotional space in life. The myriad of sculpted bottle shapes, sizes and colors reflect life’s bountiful variations. ” Jade, a Colorado native, is a sculptor who lives in Loveland, CO with his wife and two little daughters. Formerly a painter, who worked in abstracts for a number of years, Jade has noted that in looking back on his two dimensional work, each piece was like a three dimensional sculpture wanting to come out to play.

Please come see the show and join us for the reception. The Art Center is located at 517 Big Thompson Avenue, in Middle Stanley Village, below Safeway and above Subway. The Art Center of Estes Park is a nonprofit organization which provides a facility to support the

Michael Davis Free Performances At YMCA Of The Rockies On Sunday, July 30, Michael Davis will be the guest musician for the 10:00 a.m. worship service in Hyde Chapel, at the YMCA of the Rockies.

He will also perform a concert at 7:00 p.m. in Hyde Chapel. The concert is free and open to the public.

While only 26 years old, violinist Michael W. Davis was named Concertmaster of the prestigious Louisville Orchestra, thrilling audiences for 30 years until his retirement from that position in 2015.

All the while, critics have hailed him as “the essence of musicality” and continue to praise him for his “virtuosity” and “exquisite” playing.

Captivated at an early age by the beauty of the violin, Michael, a native of Albertville, Alabama, began studying music at age 7. As a 16 year old he was winner of the state’s MTNA Competition and named “Most Outstanding String Player.”

He is a graduate of the world-renowned Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University where he was awarded Bachelor and Master of Music degrees with distinction. Studying with James Buswell at Indiana University, he also served as an Associate Instructor of Violin there while doing his graduate work.

Featured in numerous chamber music and orchestral recordings, Michael also has two solo albums, Emmanuel and Amazing Grace. Emmanuel (a fantasia on hymnody for solo violin and orchestra) was composed for Michael by Kurt Kaiser and was recorded in Dvorak Hall with the City of Prague Philharmonic in the Czech Republic. The album Amazing Grace features Michael's own arrangement of that beloved hymn for solo violin as heard at the "Billy Graham Crusade" in Louisville, KY. A very active performer, he has given concerts in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center.

He and his family currently reside in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado where Michael enjoys his passion for fly-fishing.

To learn more about Michael Davis and his music, visit michaeldavisviolin.com/ This Sunday service and concert are a part of the Chapel Ministry’s 2017 Summer Worship Fest program.

Everything Is Energy By: Mya Izzolena

Preview Of July 31 Summer Music Festival Concert: “Classically Jazz” By: Derald DeYoung

On Monday July 31 at 7:30 PM at the Stanley Concert Hall, the second and final performance of the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra will be presented. This concert will feature the music of six composers, four of them Americans and two who spent a significant time in the US. This program, titled “Classically Jazz” will feature classical music which was directly influenced by the jazz and popular music of the early to mid-20th century.

The concert begins with German composer Kurt Weill’s Suite from The Threepenny Opera. This opera was a collaboration with Bertolt Brecht.

Weill made a suite of seven numbers from his masterpiece and they are scored for a small orchestra of 14 players plus percussion. One movement is the well know “Ballad of Mack the Knife.”

The featured soloist is clarinetist Boris Allakhverdyan, principal clarinetist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He will perform Aaron Copland’s jazz-influenced Clarinet Concerto and Leonard Bernstein’s funky, and very hot and jazzy Preludes, Fugue and Riffs.

Two of America’s most popular composers, Scott Joplin and George Gershwin will be performed. Joplin’s Rags: The Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag and Gershwin’s Lullaby for Strings.

The French composer Darius Milhaud who taught for years at Mills College in Oakland, California as well as at the Paris Conservatory, headed a group of composers in France known as Les Six. One of their aims was to blend the forms of serious music with the flamboyant sound of pop-music hall, cabaret and jazz.

When in the US for the first time in 1922, he heard “authentic” jazz for the first time on the streets of Harlem. This

had a great impact on his musical outlook and the following year he composed La Creation du monde or “The Creation of the World,” which is the final piece of this program. This is a popular concert piece but was originally a ballet score, its intent being to dramatize the African’s primitive world-creation mythology - the fierce gods, the stirrings of first life, the elemental spring. It is for a small orchestra with solo saxophone plus percussion and piano.

All in all, this is an extremely varied and exciting program of jazz inspired classical pieces by some of the 20th century’s greatest composers.

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

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

Christmas In July

Imagine celebrating the story, music, and tastes of Christmas in a log church in the Rocky Mountains.

Now imagine all of that without blowing snow and wind, freezing cold temperatures, scarves, hats, and gloves. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left? Christmas in July at the Allenspark Community Church.

One of the long standing traditions of this wonderful church, located in the heart of Allenspark, is the opportunity to celebrate the music and message of Christmas in the midst of the warmth and beauty of summertime in Colorado.

Christmas in July 2017 is this Sunday morning July 30th at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m.

The church is decorated with greenery and lights in a way that brings you right into the feeling of Christmas in the mountains. This church choir is presenting a Christmas cantata and there is also the reading of the Christmas story, and a time for everyone to join in the singing of Christmas carols. Following this one hour presentation there are Christmas cookies, hot chocolate, tea and coffee for all. This is a free event and a gift to the

community by the Allenspark Church.

The church is a log structure built in 1922, adorned with beautiful stained glass windows picturing the wild flowers of the mountains, and remains an active and well attended year round church.

You can learn more about the church at www.allensparkcommunitychurch.org.

Maybe Christmas in July is just what you and your family needs to complete this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to the Rocky Mountains. The church is located 15 miles south of Estes Park on the Peak to Peak Highway, Route 7. Turn right into Allenspark and the church is across the street from the post office. For more information call 303-747-2821.

Be Informed And Involved To Whom It May Concern, (which should be everyone in the community).

I am encouraging you to become informed and involved as to what is happening in our Estes Valley.

In recent months there has been a lot of talk and decision making internally and between the Community Development Department, Planning Commission and Board of Trustees. Issues concerning attainable housing, building heights, zoning and density are among items being pursued.

I find it interesting that the Housing Survey report written by Avalanche Consulting (based elsewhere) was introduced in February ’16 and there is an effort to have this document permanently incorporated into the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan. The report predicts that 1400 – 1500 new attainable housing units would be necessary by 2020. Figuring four persons to a unit, in two and onehalf years it means our town population could double.

It is hard for me to understand why a few local people are pushing for higher density. Do you really think in two & one-half years there will be 1,400 – 1,500 additional opportunities /employees needing discount housing?

Attainable housing can result in 16 units per acre. Right now, the code states attainable housing can occur in any residential zone. Now there is also an effort to change how density is calculated to allow for clustering. There is a move to increase development and density generally in our town and valley that will undoubtedly result in re-zonings. The community remains disturbingly silent in spite of such ongoing processes by the Town – and they’ve just begun. (emails may be sent to the Town Clerk with a request that she forward them to the Planning Commission members and Trustees. (jwillamson@estes.org.)

Thank You Estes Park For Successful Spring Sale Lifelong Learning of Estes Valley Preschool (LLEV) and Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park want to express our thanks for all the support received on our Annual Spring Sale held on May 12–13. The annual event was another big success, with funds totaling over $8,000 raised to support the ongoing missions at the two 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations.

A big thank you to all the volunteers and staff from both organizations who gave tirelessly of their time and talents to collect, organize, sell, and clean up after the sale, many of whom have done so for many years. Equally important is the great support we receive from the community in donating furniture and household goods that help to make this event one of the largest “garage” sales in the front range. A very special thank you to Estes Park News for help in getting out the requests for donations and then in promoting the sale leading up to the Spring Sale weekend event. We also thank all of the customers who shopped and purchased furniture and household bargains; it’s a “win-win” for all parties!

The two nonprofit organizations appreciate the funds raised for their operations. Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park has operated for 35 years in the Estes Valley as a Christian service organization providing short-term assistance to low income clients, ongoing services to clients on low fixed incomes, and encouraging self-sufficiency of clients through educational opportunities. Lifelong Learning of Estes Valley Preschool (LLEV) has operated for 15 years serving the Estes Valley and surrounding communities with a quality Christian-based preschool program. The LLEV mission is to enhance the love of learning by stimulating curiosity and providing the necessary skills to make learning a lifelong pursuit. Funds from this event will help support the LLEV Tuition Assistance Program for low income families.

Understanding The Town’s Broadband Initiative Frequently asked questions The Town of Estes Park is researching and investigating the opportunities and challenges of offering broadband services in the Light & Power service area. The Town received a grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs to fund the engineering work for a detail plan to build a fiber optic based middle mile/broadband communications network in the Town’s Light & Power service area. Larimer County Emergency Telephone Authority (LETA911) joined the project to address 9-1-1 reliability concerns due to the lack of redundancy in our fiber optics cable, which is necessary for most telecommunications including emergency 9-1-1 services. Through its grant, LETA911 is designing a new backup fiber optic route out of Estes Park to Lyons/Longmont. Following are some of the most frequently asked questions on the project.

What is the current status and upcoming plans?

By October the detail broadband engineering work and costs should be completed. By November we will be developing potential financial models for the Town Board. By December we hope to discuss the various options with the Town Board. In addition, we received 10 responses to an advertised Request For Information asking interested parties to propose a public/private joint venture. As of July, staff are reviewing the responses.

Viable proposals will be included as options for the Board to consider.

When can I get the new Broadband service?

That is unknown at this time since we are still researching the potential project.

Late in 2017 the Town Board will have the opportunity to set a direction for this endeavor. Any large scale construction will take several years, with the initial customers possibly connected within a year.

Who would operate the system?

That is unknown at this time. The Town Board will consider business plans late this year. The infrastructure owner could be separate from the company providing broadband service to customers.

What would the new service cost me?

Unknown at this time. As part of our research, we conducted a survey that, along with previous studies, shows many residential customers would prefer a rate close to what they are paying for internet service now ($40-$90 per month).

The Town is currently installing a new fiber cable to Allenspark. Does that mean they will get broadband first?

No. The purpose of the fiber installation to Allenspark is to support Estes Park Light & Power’s Smart-Grid initiative.

However, we are building extra capacity to facilitate a consumer broadband option in anticipation of future needs.

Can I get on a waiting list to get the new broadband service?

No, since we are still in the research phase of this project and the outcome is not determined.
