Marmot Yoga

This marmot needed a big stretch after venturing from his rocky den in the alpine tundra. Marmots, also called whistle pigs, are social animals that are fun to watch as they communicate with each other in whistles, screams and tooth chattering displays.

It’s Not My Job–Really!

Local government responsibilities can be confusing to folks – especially in Colorado where we tend to depend on so many special districts to get things done. We all know what town or city we live in, and most of us understand we live in Larimer County and the State of Colorado, but we also live in a handful of other government jurisdictions as well. It also doesn’t help that it’s not consistent from town to town.

At Town Hall we regularly receive requests for services and complaints about problems or projects that are not under our authority or responsibility. We hate to seem bureaucratic or uncaring when we have to say, “It’s not my job,� but sometimes that is the reality of the situation. This misunderstanding of responsibilities can result in frustration for citizens just trying to get service from their government, and I completely understand that frustration. We do our best to steer people in the right direction so they can get the assistance they need, as simply as possible. Recently some high profile issues in the community have exemplified this issue.

Take for example the recent discussions of the Estes Valley Community Center. In many communities, the Town has a Parks and Recreation Department that is responsible for recreation programs and facilities. This isn’t the case in Estes Park. We have the Estes Valley Recreation and Parks District (EVRPD). The EVRPD is a totally separate governmental entity, and is

not associated with the Town. It is governed by its own elected board, has its own taxes for support and has a boundary that extends far beyond Town limits.

The Community Center is a project of the EVRPD – not the Town of Estes Park. The Town, through voter-approved Ballot Issue 1A sales tax money, is contributing funds to EVRPD’s project. All the decisions about services offered, amenities in the building, and building design are the responsibility of the EVRPD – not the Town.

Here are more common examples of when folks think the Town is responsible, but the issue is not within our authority to control...

Most of the MAJOR roads in town are state highways.

Elkhorn, Moraine, Wonderview, Big Thompson and St. Vrain Avenues (comprising U.S. 36, U.S. 34 and Highway 7) all are state highways. The Town doesn’t own or maintain these streets. Just like you can’t go next door and paint your neighbor’s house, we can’t fix the potholes, put up signs or striping, because they are not our streets. We can (and do) make requests for the state highways, but that’s as much as we can do. We are happy to pass along concerns, but the state would frown on us interfering with the maintenance and operations of their streets.

Utilities are handled differently in different cities. Some Towns provide all utilities – water, electric and sewer.

Many only provide water and sewer

while electricity is provided by a private utility company. In Estes Park, the Town supplies water and electricity to the majority of homes, while sewer services are provided by either the Upper Thompson Sanitation District or the Estes Park Sanitation District. These sanitation districts have their own boards of directors, set their own fees and handle their own billing. The Town is not involved with sewer service.

There are other special districts that operate autonomously from the Town, including the Library District, the Park School District and the Estes Valley Fire Protection District, all with their own staff and governing boards.

While all of these are autonomous, independent entities, we do work together and coordinate efforts when possible. At times, we may have different priorities, but we are all here to serve the taxpayers and rate payers who form our different constituent bases.

You can think of local government as a shopping mall comprised of many, independent stores. We all have a market niche in providing services to our customers, while we operate independently with separate management and separate boards of directors. Just like complaining to K-Mart about something you bought at Target, complaining to the Town about EVRPD operations or to the Library about Town services probably won’t help you with your issues. We all get along, and we do our best to refer you to the right people, but sometimes, it really “is not my job.�

The Gift Of “Just Being” With Grievers When a tragedy occurs many of us will ask the question, “How can I help?”

Tragedies are so complex with multiple facets and seemingly endless ripples of impact that ‘to help’ also can appear complicated. However, after supporting hundreds of families who have been impacted by the death of a child, and suffering my own tragic loss of our toddler son, I have found that ‘to help’ is not so complex. What is needed most in the wake of tragedy are fellow human beings who are willing and able to ‘just be’.

‘Just being’ is the ability to be fully present with someone who is grieving. It means honoring the process of grieving without personal biases or judgements.

It means listening without advice giving or the use of over-used platitudes. It means being at ease with a kaleidoscope of intense emotions. It can feel intimidating and initially awkward to be with grievers, but it is this process that is truly sacred and life transforming.

It is also important to know that there are no sequential steps or logical order to the grief process. We should not im-

pose our own beliefs or assumptions on those who have been impacted by a tragedy. Their journey is unique and it is theirs to fully experience. As a culture we want to fix grief. We want grievers to return to their former selves as quickly as possible. These are, of course, unrealistic expectations. Life experiences, both joys and tragedies, transform us and will be forever integrated into our newselves.

Kristin Glenn is the Director of Outreach for 3Hopeful Hearts. 3Hopeful Hearts is a nonprofit organization located in Larimer County whose mission is to provide bereaved parents and families opportunities to honor, find hope and seek healing through events, support, education and remembrance.

Services provided range from youth/school programs, monthly support groups, home visits to newly bereaved, funeral assistance and companionship to those grieving. All services are free to anyone impacted by a child loss of any age and cause. For more information please visit their website at www.3hopefulhearts.com or call 970430-6136.

Increase In Wolf Sightings, Likely Eventual Establishment Of Their Populations In Colorado Prompts Advice From Colorado Parks and Wildlife Due to a recent increase in unconfirmed sightings and reports of wolves in Colorado, in addition to confirmed sightings over the past several years, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say it is increasingly likely that the growing wolf populations and range in nearby states will eventually expand across state lines. To help prevent the illegal take of the species, officials are reminding the public that wolves remain protected by the federal Endangered Species Act in Colorado.

Each year, CPW wildlife managers traverse the state by land and air to classify big game, but none have observed wolf packs, dens or any other evidence wolves exist at the population level in Colorado. Wildlife managers believe that is likely to change in the near future and are preparing for the eventual establishment of wolf populations in the state.

"Wolves are known to travel long distances and we expect that they will continue to come into the state on their own. We have a duty to let the public know about this possibility to help prevent someone from accidentally killing a wolf," said CPW Director Bob Broscheid. "Identifying the target and the species you are hunting is critical and a major tenet of safe and ethical hunting. Whether you are a trapper, or an elk hunter, deer hunter, coyote hunter or a landowner protecting livestock from predators, you must be sure of your target before you take any animal."

Various incidents over the past several years confirm that wolves occasionally visit northern Colorado, including a wolf killed in a vehicle collision on Interstate 70 near Idaho Springs in 2004.

Three years later, two CPW wildlife officers captured video of an animal with strong wolf-like characteristics along the Colorado-Wyoming border, a few miles north of Walden. In 2009, a radiocollared gray wolf was found dead north of Rifle. In April of 2015, a trailcam, again near Walden, captured photos of an animal that appears to be a wolf. The unconfirmed sighting is considered credible.

Also in April of 2015, a small-game hunter mistakenly killed what he thought was a coyote near Wolford Mountain Reservoir, a few miles north of Kremmling. After an investigation by

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, agency biologists positively identified the animal as a gray wolf.

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service - the agency with jurisdiction over wolves in Colorado - killing a wolf or any endangered species can result in criminal charges, a year in prison and fines up to $100,000 per offense, depending on circumstances and the discretion of federal authorities.

Although he faced significant penalties, The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service chose to not charge the hunter after their investigation determined he was hunting legally, did not intentionally kill the wolf and immediately reported the incident to Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials.

Other reports and sightings in Colorado include visual observations of large wolf-like animals, scat and tracks.

Though not confirmed, some have reported hearing what they believed to be the howling of a wolf.

In 2004, CPW convened a diverse group of individuals representing a variety of interests to develop the Colorado Wolf Management Plan, adopted by the Colorado Wildlife Commission the following year. The plan details Colorado's management strategy when wolves become established in the state.

"Although it remains rare, a credible sighting now and then cannot be considered highly unusual anymore," adds Broscheid. "I believe it is only a matter of time before they begin to move here in larger numbers and we must prepare for that eventuality."

For more information about wolves and wolf management in Colorado, visit www.cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/SOCWolves.aspx The public is urged to report any sighting of wolves in Colorado by filling out the online Wolf Sighting Form.

Photographic evidence is useful but unless it's scat or tracks, CPW recommends that video and still photos be taken from a distance with a telephoto lens. Do not approach wildlife at any time.

DaVinci & Michelangelo: The Titans Experience Original Theatre Production Comes to Estes Park This Saturday!

Genius Productions original theatre production of DaVinci & Michelangelo: The Titans Experience is coming to the Estes Park Event Center with two special performances this Saturday, July 30 at 2 p.m. (doors open at 1 p.m.) and an evening show at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30).

This original theater performance is a non-stop, multi-media event featuring movies, videos, 3-D animations, and images of DaVinci and Michelangelo’s inventions, machines, sketches, codices, paintings, and sculptures.

Rodgers compares and contrasts the incredible lives of Leonardo and Michelangelo as never before, relating them to our world that today as we strive to discover our own “inner�

Michelangelo and DaVinci. “Museum Theatre� is a combination of a traditional museum experience with a live one-of-a kind multimedia theatrical performance. “Museum Theatre� combines the interactive DaVinci Machines Exhibition and the Michelangelo Titans Side by Side

multi-media live theatre production. Attendees are invited to go on a guided multi-media performance through the Italian Renaissance as seen through the eyes of these two titans.

Rodgers said, “We were always comparing Michelangelo and DaVinci, and to me it seemed like a natural step to combine them. I started to integrate the life stories of these two iconic men into the docent guided tours at the exhibition.�

To fulfil this vision, Rodgers collaborated with Matt Boggs, of Digiblade Productions, a multimedia think tank and production company in Colorado and the performance successfully toured

throughout the United States.

Don’t miss your chance to see Mark Rodgers, Curator of the DaVinci Machines and Michelangelo Exhibitions from the permanent Museum of Leonardo DaVinci in Florence, Italy, as he takes you on a fantastic, awe-inspiring journey through the Italian Renaissance as seen through the eyes of these two monumental geniuses.

What People Are Saying: • “I was glad to have had the opportunity to witness Mark Rodgers share his obvious passion for these two great artists and his enthusiasm was contagious. With great inflection, Mr. Rodgers shares his knowledge and it’s easily consumed with his down to earth speaking style. I enjoyed every minute of his show and was a little sad to have it end.

He must have been a splendid educator at one time, I would have loved to have had art history taught by him. A must see for any art student or person involved in arts of any kind. Also would be appreciated by any kind of

technical person like an inventor or machinist for the shear awe of what DaVinci invented and have it explained with visuals by Mr. Rodgers. A very enjoyable and informative evening. Favorite moment: Every moment! Mr. Rodgers voice was very pleasing to my ears.â€? • A shaman‌ic experience not to be missed. It will change your life.â€? • “I left (the performance) with only one word to utter‌‌‌.WOW!â€? • “It was superb. Thanks so much for enriching our evening!â€? • “The show is fabulous! We really enjoyed it – from start to finish.â€? • “I loved, loved, loved your show. It was fascinating and well done.â€?

Admission is just $20 for the matinee performance and $25 for the evening performance. Tickets are available at discoverdavinci.com/events/ or call 970-577-3905 or at the door at the Event Center, prior to the performances. Don’t miss this show!

EPNEWS.COM Ahhh, the lovely, long, hot, sunny days of summer are upon us. We rise early, stay up late, get outside as much as possible, soak up the heat while we can, and lollygag in the shade after reaping the produce from our gardens.

If we can grow a garden. Many of us can’t for one reason (lack of high-altitude juju) or another (elk). The Estes Valley Community Garden provides a protected venue for those who wish to invoke their inner farmer, but there are many of us who simply cannot grow a carrot to full size no matter how much attention and protection we and our tilly neighbors give it.

Thank goodness for the farmers market.

It’s the closest some of us come to harvesting our own natural, good-for-you food, known as “real food” on the farmers market planet.

There are regional differences that make each farmers market unique yet they are universally familiar, like church. The farmers market is a place where we commune with others who want to shop out-ofdoors, who are willing to spend a bit more for virtuous food, and who want to support the entrepreneur trying to keep from getting sucked into the corporate vortex. We farmers marketers are a sept of like-mindeds who take pleasure in tossing all of this uncontaminated goodness together with a little sinful indulgence (oh, those yeasty, calorie-laden breakfast treats!).

We carry our reusable grocery bags as we stroll the market aisles, visiting with vendors who offer samples beneath the shade of colorful umbrellas and tent canopies.

(The grocery bags are much more functional today with their flat bottoms than the flimsy string bags of yesteryear.) We breathe in the aroma of fresh salad greens, tomatoes, peppers, onions with dirt clinging to their paper skins, and beets. (A scribbled sign says, “Just beet it.” Another: “Don’t go bacon my heart.”) We see cabbage as big as soccer balls, strawberries that are red all the way through, honey in many forms (soap, lotion, lip balm, creamed, pure, in the comb and in long skinny straws like Pixy Stix), locally grown

elderberry juice, and long lines of shoppers waiting their turn to buy Monet-like wildflower bouquets that cause couples to fall in love all over again.

At the farmers market nearest me we see gourd planters, taste samples of chocolate vinegar (who dreamed this up? I could kiss their vinegary cheeks!); we imagine cajeta (sweetened caramelized goat’s milk) on ice cream and buy kombucha (fermented tea) on tap (BYOB to fill). We sample toasted, honey-toasted, cinnamon, and chocolate covered pecans. (The vendor’s T-shirt reads, “We are nuts for you.”) We can buy garlic scapes for cheap (the curling tops of garlic plants, which are edible), homegrown pasture chickens, mutton, goat, and pork broth bones, and morels. (Each week the hand-painted cardboard sign says, “This is the last week for morels.” Another sign reads, “I’m that psychotic mushroom hunter with no morels.”)

Children draw with sidewalk chalk while their parents rest on benches, sipping coffee and tapping their toes to the tunes played by local musicians. Wee ones in seersucker sundresses and matching bonnets dance, unaware of an audience. A man sits alone, concentrating with a sketchpad and pencil; a cell phone was left behind at the other end of the bench and no one has taken it. Someone will come back for it and will give a little shout of joy and relief when he finds it right where he left it.

This fresh farmers market scene plays out in communities from Olympia, Washington to Coral Gables, Florida. Those with green thumbs tend to the earth. In return, she gives us bounty in every color of the rainbow (ROY G BIV). We buy from those skilled gardeners, which allows them to continue nurturing the earth and bringing forth abundance for us to enjoy. It is a beautiful, wholesome, circle of goodness.

Estes Arts District Welcomes Bob Smallwood To Performance Park August 2 Local legend Bob Smallwood will take the stage on August 2nd in the next event of the Estes Arts District's summer series Tuesday Night Live!

As a self described first generation “British Invasionite,” Bob began his relationship with the guitar and rock & roll back in 1964. The American music scene evolved under the influence of soul, folk, and later “swamp rock” and “California country rock.” Bob’s taste in music and skills similarly evolved.

Today Bob entertains the Estes Valley locals and town visitors with his original songs as well as '50s '60s and '70s rock & roll, Americana folk and Texas red dirt.

He is known for his finger picking, off color lyrics and vast repertoire of favorites. Bob's retirement plan includes playing the guitar, writing music and continuing to entertain us all.

The Tuesday Night Live concert is free but donations to support the Estes Arts

District and local performers are happily accepted. Please mark your calendars, then grab a blanket and a favorite beverage and join us for yet another gorgeous, music lovers' summer evening at a great outdoor venue (435 W. Elkhorn, Estes Park).

If you have a cultural arts event to post or are looking to attend one, check the Estes Arts District's calendar at http://www.estesartsdistrict.org/calendar.html. See you at 7 p.m. in Performance Park on August 2nd!

Auditions Set For Fine Arts Guild Production Of “Damn Yankees�

Attention sluggers! Get out of the dugout and hit a home run as auditions for Damn Yankees will be held Aug. 9-11!

Auditions for the Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies 2016 production of the musical comedy "Damn Yankees" will be held on August 9, 10 and 11 at the Park Village Playhouse from 5-8 p.m. Auditions for principal roles will be held August 9, August 10 will be for supporting cast and August 11 will be for call-backs, if needed.

"Damn Yankees" is a musical comedy

by George Abbot and Douglas Wallop about a passionate baseball fan who sells his soul to the devil so that his favorite team, the Washington Senators, can beat the unstoppable New York Yankees and win the pennant.

The Devil, taking the form of a slick salesman, Mr. Applegate, convinces an aging baseball fan, Joe Boyd, to give his soul to become a young, handsome, supernaturally gifted baseball player named Joe Hardy who subsequently joins the Senators, the worst team in the league, and leads them to win game after game. Along the way, Joe Hardy from Hannibal, MO, misses his wife, Meg, and longs to be with her despite Mr. Applegate's efforts to enthrall him with the charms of a devilish temptress named Lola. Joe Boyd, however, insisted on an escape clause when he made his pact with Mr. Applegate, and will try to exercise it before his time is up.

Fine Arts Guild Youth Theater Productions This Weekend!

This year, 32 young thespians are preparing for their roles in two productions, Jungle Book Kids, and Into the Woods Jr. Many of the participants are returning members of the group, but there are several who have never been on stage before and others who have acted, but not with Youth Theater. Directed by Lisa Mann and Stephanie Soliday, both productions, separated by an intermission, will be presented this Saturday, July 30 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, July 31 at 2 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse, adjacent to The Other Side Restaurant.

The Guild’s Youth Theater program is a two week tuition based program that introduces students 3rd grade through high school to musical theater.

That means learning a lot of music, choreography, and dialogue, but also brings with it the opportunity to make new friends,

of several of Grimm’s Fairy tales. The Baker and his wife desire to start a family, but the witch has put a curse on the Baker’s family which prevents that occurrence. The Baker goes in search of the things demanded by the witch to break the spell, and we witness the wishes he makes and paths he chooses to take and the consequences of each.

Those students not wishing to appear

on stage have an opportunity to learn about the back stage parts of theater. The very talented, Michael Young is serving as our technical director this year and has four students, 6th grade through high school, working with him to produce a set, and to learn how to run the learn a lot about “doing theater,” and just have a lot of fun.

All of the camp participants will appear in Jungle Book Kids. Based on the work of Rudyard Kipling and the Disney film, this is the story of Mowgli, a young human boy who has been raised by wolves. Banished by the ferocious tiger, Shere Khan, Mowgli must flee his beloved jungle. Accompanied by his panther friend Bagheera he is challenged and supported by the jungle as he makes his way to the safety of the man village. Along the way Mowgli learns what it means to be human.

A smaller group of older students will present Into the Woods Jr. a compilation

lights and sound for the productions.

Join us to see what this talented group has accomplished in just two weeks. It promises to be a very enjoyable afternoon or evening!

Tickets are available at Macdonald Book Shop, at the door or on line at www.fineartsguild.org. $8 adults, $4 under 18 and $20 for a family 4-pack.

Doors open ½ hour before curtain.

Why is it that when one thing goes wrong, everything else breaks or needs adjusting? Maybe my house being 22 years old has something to do with it.

Recently, my circuit breaker kept turning my oven off just when I was ready to fix dinner for my friends who were coming to visit from Denver. Jenny and I are friends from New Orleans, so many years ago, I can’t even count. Until lately, we as families always shared Thanksgiving at my home but as families grow and distance becomes a problem, our time together has become less and less.

Knowing that she loves lamb, I decided to fix a shepherd’s pie, using the original idea of lamb as the meat. Have you seen the cost of lamb lately? Nevertheless, I decided to stick with the real thing. I am glad that I did, it was really good. The only problem is that I have some left over but that will be solved as I am having my friends, Jim and Verna over to help finish the pie and enjoy some apple pie.

Getting back to oven problems, I found a very honest electrician who came Monday and solved my problem. A bunch of relay screws were loose. I guess if I were savvy I could have fixed that (or gotten electrocuted!) I also have a window that will not close on its own. It is an upstairs window, I had to open the one across from it and lean out over the roof to shut it. Guess I will leave it shut until one of my family members can come to help me fix it.

Back to the Shepherd’s pie recipe!

Shepherd’s Pie Serves 5-6 graciously 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced 2 Tbs. sour cream 1 large egg yolk ½ cup table cream Grating of nutmeg Salted water, add black pepper to taste after mashing potatoes Coating of olive oil in fry pan 1 lb. ground lamb 2 carrots peeled and diced 1 chopped medium onion 2 tbs. butter 2 tbs. flour 1 cup or a little more of beef broth 2 tsp. Worcestershire Handful of frozen peas (or get a bag of mixed frozen peas and corn and carrots) Handful of frozen corn Salt and pepper to taste Sweet paprika for garnish 1/4-1/2 cup chopped green onions Boil potatoes in salted water till tender.

Drain potatoes and combine with sour cream, egg yolk, cream and nutmeg.

Mash till almost smooth.

Meanwhile, sauté’ carrots and onion till tender in hot pan with the olive oil. Add the lamb and stir and cook till all pink is gone from the meat. In second small fry pan, melt butter and flour and then

whisk in broth and Worcestershire and whisk and cook till thickened. Add to meat mix and stir in corn and peas.

Place in greased casserole and top with potatoes and garnish with paprika. Heat the casserole the in microwave and then place under broiler to slightly brown the potatoes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

With a roll and apple pie, this is a delicious and fancy meal. Enjoy.

One of the most devastating natural disasters to ever occur in Colorado, the 1976 Big Thompson Flood, was immediately documented in a variety of ways.

That documentation, enabling time travel back to the event and its aftermath, survives in archival repositories, such as the Water Resources Archive at Colorado State University. On Sunday, July 31 at 3:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Museum, Patty Rettig, head archivist for the Water Resources Archive, will talk about the flood and its importance via archival documents, including photographs, recordings, and reports.

Rettig joined the Colorado State University (CSU) Libraries in March 2000.

She began working on the Water Resources Archive in July 2001 and now serves as its Head Archivist where she built the archive to over 100 distinct collections. In 2010, Rettig received the CSU Libraries Faculty Award for Excel-

lence, and in 2014 she received the Friends of the South Platte Award. She earned her Master of Library Science from the University of Maryland, College Park. She is a former webmaster and past president of the Society of Rocky Mountain Archivists. A native of Ohio, Rettig has to explain to her relatives why she goes to ditch conferences and why there are so many water lawyers in Colorado.

Located at 200 Fourth Street, the Estes Park Museum galleries are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. The mission of the Estes Park Museum is to conduct activities that preserve, share and respect the unique history of Estes Park.

“Beyond The Ruins: At Home With Al Birch� A Re-Enactment At The Knoll Willows Open Space On August 2 For over a century, the ruins of his dream home have watched over Estes Park, only a short walk from the nearby cabin he built almost entirely with his own hands. While Albert Birch’s dwelling place is a famous local landmark, less is known about the man.

Come enjoy a summer evening and a chance encounter with Mr. Birch, one of the most colorful and illustrious promoters of early Estes Park. Learn about his local ties, his time as a Denver newspaperman, and his connections to Colorado history. Mr. Birch will be conjured by historic portrayalist Kurtis Kelly for this special “evening on the knoll.�

The program will take place outdoors on Tuesday, August 2 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. The performance will be on the grass in front of the ruins at the top of the Knoll-Willows Open Space located behind Town Hall and the Estes Valley Public Library. A dirt trail is the only way to access the cabin from the small parking lot parallel to Wonderview Avenue or for those that are able to hike a short distance, please park at the Library or along MacGregor Avenue and access the trail from behind Town Hall. Com-

fortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses, blankets or folding chairs are encouraged. Free program; no reservations are necessary.

Mountaineering is Foster's passion and her career; in 2004 she released the highly acclaimed hiking book, "Rocky Mountain National Park: The Complete Hiking Guide," a resource so popular and sought-after that it is challenging to keep in print to meet demand. She hiked to every named destination in Rocky Mountain National Park—a feat no other person, past or present, has been able to claim. Foster is also an accomplished rock and ice climber and has climbed all over the world. She successfully summited the highest peaks in both North and South America and continues to hike and climb on her home turf enjoying Rocky Mountain National Park

Charles Evans Hughes Celebration

One hundred years ago, a presidential candidate from New York took a break from a grueling cross-country campaign tour to relax in the Colorado Rockies.

After a speech in front of 12,000 in Denver, where one of the main topics was his opponent’s handling of troubles along the Mexican border, the candidate and his wife boarded a special train for Lyons, where they spent the night in a sleeper car, pulled off on the side track.

The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes awoke to a glorious welcome from a crowd estimated at 1000, all waving flags, singing patriotic songs, and anxious to see how the travel party, which included 35 state and national reporters and photographers, enjoyed their breakfast of fresh-caught trout.

As part of the ceremonies, a troop of Lyons Boy Scouts presented Hughes with an ax, carved with the words “Hughes to the line – Let the chips fall where they may” along the handle.

One hundred years later, that ax is coming home to Lyons, placed on permanent loan to the Lyons Redstone Museum, and the re-presentation of the ax this afternoon (Friday) kicks off a month-long celebration commemorating the frequent visits over the years of Presidents, ex-Presidents, and presidential candidates (along with spouses and families) to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Although a few of the events will be private, open only to relatives and in-

vited press, at least one program each weekend will be free of charge and open to the public. This Saturday, July 30, at 7 p.m., for example, an introductory lecture on Charles Evans Hughes’ 1916 Colorado sojourn will be given by John Meissner at the Texas Cottage behind the YMCA Admin. Building, complete with smoked trout crudités, while next Saturday, August 6, at 7:00 p.m., a panel chaired by Eric Waples and including Harvard law professor and noted author Mark Tushnet, along with diplomatic historians from CU and CSU, will convene at the Estes Park High School auditorium to discuss Hughes’ later career as Secretary of State in the Harding cabinet, and Supreme Court Chief Justice during the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations.

Later in August, Estes Park will have the chance to welcome the Landon family, including two of the three children who were here with their father Alf during his 1936 presidential campaign, and, if all goes as planned, shake hands with (or hand off babies to) a current presidential candidate soon to receive her party’s nomination.

Check the Estes Park News each Friday throughout August for details, or call 970-586-4889 for updates to the current schedule. Pick up a free commemorative “campaign” button at one of the early programs and display it proudly on your lapel or hat band throughout the month to earn quick entry into subsequent events without all the shakedown and

Great Decisions Meeting August 2 We're back! Come one and all on August 2nd at 11:30 a.m. at the library Wasson Room. Liz Zornes will lead us through this discussion on the United Nations. Come prepared to discuss!

Go to www.fpa.org/great_decisions/index.cfm?act=topic_detail&topic_id=55 for topic details.

On the eve of the international organization’s 70th birthday, the United Nations stands at a crossroads. This year marks a halfway point in the organization’s global effort to eradicate poverty, hunger and

discrimination, as well as ensure justice and dignity for all peoples. But as the UN’s 193 member states look back at the success of the millennium development goals, they also must assess their needs for its sustainable development goals—a new series of benchmarks, which are set to expire in 2030. With the appointment of the ninth Secretary-General in the near future as well, the next U.S. President is bound to have quite a lot on his or her plate going into office. What is the future of the United Nations?

Larimer County Vehicle Licensing Offers New Service Enhancement

Last week, Larimer County Clerk and Recorder, Angela Myers, welcomed the public to join her and her Vehicle Licensing Teams as they “cut the ribbon” on another customer service enhancement – Phone Tag. This new service allows customers to complete their vehicle licensing transactions by phone!

As with the BookA-Time Appointment feature (larimer.org/bookatime), the new Phone Tag service (larimer.org/phonetag – became active last Friday) is one more improvement in the arsenal of operational shifts that have taken place in Larimer Vehicle Licensing operations since Myers took office in May of 2013.

With these options, it’s no longer necessary to wait in line in a Larimer County Vehicle Licensing office. However, if a citizen does need to make an unplanned visit to the Fort Collins or Loveland office, knowing the current wait time status in advance may be helpful and is

available at larimer.org/waittime.

“We’re again breaking new ground here in Larimer County, as we do everything we can to provide exceptional service to our vehicle licensing customers,” Myers said.

These are, indeed, exciting times as staff are energized to brainstorm new ideas and make them successful realities!” With each new enhancement to services, wait times in each of the Larimer Vehicle Licensing offices are coming down and consistently staying down. “We still have our days when the wait times are longer than we’d like, but we also see many days when there is no wait at all,” Myers said.

This new service option has been in “soft launch” for a few months now, and the feedback thus far has been overwhelmingly positive. The formal “ribbon cutting” and official launch included demonstrations at the Estes Park office on Brodie Avenue.

Recycling Update By: Judi Smith While the United States has a redirection rate of 43% (2013), Colorado recycles and composts only 11% of our trash. As we lose land from other uses: farms. towns, and open spaces – we must ask ourselves, “Is this the best use of our resources?” and, if not, “What can I do to encourage other alternatives?”

One method of limiting landfill use is to teach the masses, one person at a time, how dangerous it is to cede the use of our land for the purpose of garbage storage and that every person, every water bottle, every scrap of garbage makes a difference.

The League of Women Voters & Community Recycling Committee strives to do this, but, every day, we combat the cost of proper disposal. Even if “free” it takes extra effort (and extra trash can space) to accommodate the best solutions. Most people, given a choice between convenient and conscientious will choose easy.

Some states have made it illegal to place recyclables in the garbage can. The State of Colorado has addressed the edge of the problem. It is now illegal to dump tires, used oil, and lead-acid batteries. Paint, pesticides, and other hazardous materials are banned from your trash can. And electronic castoffs (such as computers, gaming stations, and cell phones), again by law, must be recycled (i.e. parted out and redeemed as useful raw ingredients).

Colorado’s efforts are all well and good.

However, a huge amount of not only recyclables, but also reusables, continues to

creep into the landfills. We, as a nation, must quit considering every unwanted item “trash” and begin thinking about what is redeemable – when we throw away and when we buy.

There is no such thing as truly free recycling, any more than fire safety, road repair, the sewer system, or garbage collection is free. In Estes Park garbage and business recycling fees (equivalent in price) fund the “free” residential recycling of plastic (#1-7 bottles, jars, or tubs), aluminum and steel cans plus paper (white office paper, newspaper, magazines, junk mail, paperboard, and uncontaminated cardboard).

The Larimer County Wasteshed Coalition is currently considering options for when our landfill is no longer viable (expected at the current rate to be 2025). Our Estes representatives to this board are: Town-Wendy Konig and Frank Lancaster (TAC) and County-Steve Gillette [TAC] and Steve Johnson. Should we encourage recycling and, if so, should we use regulation, taxes, mandated fees? Is a bottle bill the answer? Should we have a new landfill? Or ship the garbage out of the county? Should we be contributing to the locations that currently accept our recyclables? Does recycling deserve a governmental solution, or is it simply an individual concern? In an effort to elicit public comment, the coalition has initiated a survey and scheduled public forums (Estes – 6 p.m. Sept. 29) as well as posting public comment contact.

DON’T LET ME DIE…UNTIL I’M DEAD! The title of this week’s article came from Cavett Robert, the founding father of the National Speaker’s Association. Cavett retired from his law practice in New York and was sent to Arizona with a life expectancy of less than six months. He lived much longer than that, probably due in part to his commitment to ‘life’. He thrilled numerous crowds with his wit and charm and, somewhere during his presentation, he would bend over, arms outstretched, and say, ‘Lord, don’t let me die ‘til I’m dead!’ We know what he was saying. ‘There’s more to life than just breathing.’

We’re referring to people who at times seem to be just existing, not due to limiting health conditions, but like a woman the Bible speaks of who ‘is dead even while she lives’. Hers was due to sin, but others are due simply to the loss of wonder. Perhaps there are some other ‘prayers’ we could offer as well.

‘Lord, don’t let me die with my music still in me!’ There’s a lot of living to do—places to visit, things to do, contributions to make. There’s a joy in creating good and spontaneously serving. How do we die with the music still in us? Sometimes it’s when we die prematurely, before those things can be expressed. Other times it’s when we die emotionally while our bodies live on and the gifts lie buried. You are the best ‘you’ around and God has a purpose for you while you are here. There have been a great many songs composed, poems and stories written and lives lived. There are many others in the hearts and lives of people like us. We need to let the ‘music’ out…to express it.

Another good prayer we might want to offer is: ‘Lord, don’t let the flowers come too late!’ Most of us like to receive a flower, either literally or figuratively, now and then. A good way to cultivate the desire in others to hand us one from time to time is by liberally handing them out to others. The Bible states the principle like this: “Give, and it will be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will men pour into your lap. For with the measure you measure, it will be measured to you.” We are all aware of good things that other people do around us. Let’s express our appreciation, telling them how they have blessed our life.

A good place to start is right at home with spouses and children. Someday it will be too late.

One other prayer we might want to utter is: ‘Lord, don’t let me stay when I should go home!’ We live in a day when we are becoming more aware that there are times when our bodies stop living and begin just existing. Working with the Hospice team at EP Medical Center has certainly made me more aware of this. “Do not resuscitate!” is a request that many have signed so that they will be allowed to move on to the next stage of their lives. I visited a home in Longmont some years ago where an elderly grandfather had just passed away. His granddaughter met me at the door and said, quietly, “I gave him permission to go.” Sensing that he was just ‘hanging on’ for the sake of others, she said, “Grampa, we’ll be okay. You can go home whenever you’re ready.” He sighed a deep sigh and was gone. ‘Lord, don’t let me stay when I should go home!’

I guess what we’re wishing in these ‘prayers’ is that we live our lives to the fullest, serve to the fullest extent of our abilities, and then move on to greater things. What a blessed life we will enjoy both here and hereafter. Let’s do it.

Rodeo Week Is Over But The Memories Remain!

By: Kerrie Hill, EPMC

It was a fun-filled Rodeo Week at Estes Park Medical Center. Although the 90th Rooftop Rodeo is now in the past, the memories will always remain!

Rodeo week started off with a best decorated cowboy-cowgirl hat, followed by best dressed cowgirl and cowboy, and ended with an “everything you know” about rodeo quiz. Rodeo tickets were

ing in that passion with them.” Chase Cervi – stock contractor and Pickup Man. The cowboys joined employees for a barbecue and stayed around to judge the “best boots” contest and showed a number of the employees just how much skill it takes to rope a steer head!

Mark Purdy, Chairman of the Board of Western Heritage, Inc., arranged for

the coveted prize by those who participated.

Friday was Tough Enough to Wear Pink Day and a special visit by representatives of Western Heritage, PRCA rodeo cowboys, Rooftop Rodeo queens, rodeo pick up men – Chase Cervi and Randy Britton, rodeo clowns, bull fighters, Andy Seiler, rodeo announcer, and

complimentary rodeo tickets for Prospect Park Living Center residents who were able to attend. The cowboys who visited Prospect Park Living Center even visited residents who could not make it out of their rooms. What may seem as a simple visit for a short time, was a very bright spot in the resident’s day. Cowboy and Rodeo pickup man,

Binion Cervi – Cervi Championship Rodeo stock contractor. The group visited patients on the medical-surgical unit and then made their way down to Prospect Park Living Center to chat and take photos with the residents.

“We develop special relationships with the towns and people where we put on rodeos. It is just the nature of our business and it’s what we love most about rodeo. It brings people together, and allows us to connect with communities across the country in ways we would never be able to otherwise. Getting the chance to take that a step further and meet and visit folks at the hospital and nursing home is just icing on the cake.

We wouldn’t trade these kinds of moments for anything,” said Binion Cervi – stock contractor. “Not only did we get to meet with patients and residents face to face, but a lot of them were able to come and see us in our element the rodeo. We love showing them what we do and shar-

Randy Britton said,”I recently lost my grandfather, so visiting patients and especially the residents of Prospect Park Living Center really hit home for me.

They may be in a different phase of their lives, but they are still very much a part of the Estes Park community, and it is our honor to share some of the cowboy spirit with them.”

Estes Park Medical Center is proud to collaborate with Western Heritage, Inc. as a sponsor and partner in the Rooftop Rodeo. Medical care is provided by Estes Park Medical Center Emergency Medical Services as well as board certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Aaron S. Florence and physical therapists. This dedicated team provided care to the cowboys and cowgirls including adjustments, taping, ultrasound, and more.

Thank you to Western Heritage, Inc for arranging for the special visits and for an outstanding 90th Rooftop Rodeo.

School Stadium Clean-Up Project

Just in time for fall sports at our local middle and high schools, two Bobcat Stadium clean-up days have been announced: Saturday, Aug. 13 and Saturday, Aug. 20 (9 a.m.-4 p.m. each day). The EPHS Student Council and Bobcat Booster Club are cosponsoring this Estes Thrives Project and encourage all middle and high school students and parents to participate. High school students can earn seven hours of community service toward their graduation requirement for each day.

On the agenda are painting projects, sign replacement, repairs and landscape improvements. To make this a fun, spirit-building effort, the Boosters will be providing food, music and some supplies. In addition to volunteers, service donations and financial

contributions are currently being sought to enrich the project.

“We want our students to own this, dream big and be proud of their ‘new’ stadium,” said Wendy Ash, Booster Club president. “Improving and updating the stadium is an ongoing project that the Booster Club is excited to be a part of and will be seeking out additional community support.”

If you or your business is interested in assisting with this project, contact the Booster Club at ProudBobcatBoosters@gmail.com or visit squareup.com/store/bobcat-boosterclub to make a donation. To learn more and provide input on plans, all are invited to attend a summer tailgate party at the stadium on Wednesday, July 27, from 6-8 p.m.

Boys & Girls Clubs Enjoying Fun Summer

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County (BGCLC), Estes Park location has had an exciting, and eventful summer! This summer alone, nearly 110 youth have attended the club. These youth get the opportunity each day to participate in programs centered around sports, fitness and recreation, education and career development, character and leadership, the arts, and health and life skills. Additionally, to enhance programs, BGCLC has partnered with many Estes Park agencies such as, The Learning Place, The Ballet Renaissance, Estes Park Aquatics Center, Rocky Mountain National Park, and more. The Estes Park location is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In addition to dynamic programs, youth also receive breakfast, lunch, and a snack each day thanks to a partnership with the Food Bank for Larimer County. All of these amazing opportunities are provided to these youth for a summer fee of only $10.

The Boys & Girls Clubs started a summer program in Estes Park in 2014 with the help of some local residents: MaryAnn Martin, Karen Tucker, Kathy Littlejohn, and Kathy Schaps. These ladies were passionate about youth pro-

gramming and ensuring that Estes Park youth had a safe place to go during the summer. In combination with help from the Estes Park School District, the Boys & Girls Clubs was able to offer programming to youth ages 6-18 in the Estes Park Elementary School, serving 75 youth their first summer.

“We owe our ability to serve kids in Estes Park to MaryAnn, Kathy, Karen, and Kathy, they are local heroes, dedicated to the kids in Estes,” said Kaycee Headrick, Assistant Executive Director.

“We so thank them and our other amazing partners for coming together to achieve a common goal in providing safe, quality summer programming for youth.”

To showcase the amazing programs and youth at the Club, BGCLC recently invited the community in for an open house. Several members of the community came together for an informative afternoon to learn about the ins and outs of Club while also enjoying a sneak peek of the upcoming play, “The Hysterical History of the Trojan War.” (see page 26 for more on this production). A special thanks to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for also providing delicious chocolates for all to enjoy!

EVENTS IN ESTES PARK

The Denver Barbershop Mountainaires To Perform At CAC’s Wednesday Night Live On August 3 The Denver MountainAires barbershop group will perform at Performance Park on August 3 beginning at 7 p.m., part of the CAC's night Live! summer concert series.

Chartered in September of 1975, the Denver MountainAires chapter was formed as an alternative to the highly competitive area chapters. About twenty men from the Mile High chapter had a vision of a chapter without extensive time spent on risers, with more emphasis placed upon quartet activities and a more relaxed, yet fun meeting format.

This chapter's focus has always been to sing as well as possible for our appreciative audiences.

Over the years, the chapter membership has been as high as 63 men, and today, the chapter consists of 37 dedicated barbershoppers.

They pride themselves upon community involvement: singing in the nursing homes, retirement centers, community functions, etc. In the early ’90s, one of the chapter quartets, The Chord Weavers, started singing at area schools.

It has slowly grown over the years, and today, the chapter has a strong youth outreach program into area high schools, touching the lives of boys and girls alike. The Sound of the Rockies chapter and the Sweet Adelines have, now, joined them in the efforts to educate, excite, and inspire our youth to sing barbershop. They hold yearly festivals, summer camps, an annual high school quartet contest for both boys and girls, and more.

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

Concerts will be held each Wednesday and Thursday night - rain or shine through August 25. The shows are sponsored by the CAC and generous support from Coldwell Banker (Mary Murphy, Vicky Holler & Wayne Newsom), Mueller & Associates, and The Barrel; freewill donations from those attending are appreciated to keep this program thriving. For more information, visit www.estesarts.com

A Special Thursday Night Live! Performance: A Tribute To Folk Music Legends III Will Be Held August 4 A "Tribute to Folk Music Legends III" featuring the local group "Elk Hollow" and guest Nancy Bell will take place Thursday, August 4th at Performance Park. This concert as part of Thursday Night Live is sponsored by the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park and all donations will be to benefit the Cultural Arts Council. The evening will be a musical tribute to folk music legends. The program will feature Elk Hollow with Gary Reeves and Jack Overly (vocals and Guitar), Dr. Tim McLemore (vocals and bass), and Dmitri Galcovski ( violin). Nancy Bell will again join Elk

Hollow with her vocal artistry.

The radical folk singing movement started in the 1920s and by the 1930s was associated with social movements which carried on though the 40s, 50, and 60s. Some key figures in this early period were Pete Seeger, Lead Belly, and Woodie Guthrie. Seeger co-founded a quartet, The Weavers in 1948. The Weavers, more than any other group at the time, brought folk music

to widespread mainstream audiences, creating what is now known as the folk music revival inspiring other performers such as Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul, and Mary, The Kingston Trio, The New Christy Minstrels, Brothers Four, and many others.

Elk Hollow has been performing in the Estes Park community for nearly twenty years. The group is made up of singer/songwriters Reeves and Overly on guitars and vocals, Galcovski on violin, Mclemore on electric bass and vocals, and Nancy Bell on guitar and vocals. Elk Hollow has appeared in numerous venues in the Estes Park area and has especially enjoyed participating in various benefits to support local organizations and scholarship needs for Estes Park students.

Gary Reeves has been associated with the arts in Estes Park for many years, appearing in Fine Arts Guild productions of "The Wizard of Oz,” Oklahoma,” "South Pacific,” and "The King and I" among others. Gary often donates his time and talents to perform for area organizations including Rotary sponsored "Estes Park Sings" and "It's Showtime.” Some of the songs Gary has composed include "You'll Always Be A Good Friend,” Heed The Call,” and "Life Is An Adventure.”

Jack Overly is also a singer/songwriter, and like Gary has been a performer in a number of local productions such as "Estes Park Sings,” "It's Showtime,” and others. He also donates his time helping organize benefits for various charitable organizations. Some of his compositions that are included in their cd "Home In Colorado" are"Goin Home,” "Colorado River,” "This Is My Prayer" and "You're Home In Colorado.”

Dmitri Galcovski is a graduate of the Chisinau Music Academy of the Republic of Moldava and

is a skilled concert violinist. He studied violin with Lidia Dolinskaia at the Rachmaninov Music Lyceum in Chisinau. During his school years Galcovski participated in numerous competitions and concerts. He graduated from the Academy of Music and Arts in 2007. While studying he had a Master Class with Professor Neeman (Royal Academy of Music, UK) and won the gold medal at the Luxembourg Festival of Young Musicians.

Dr. Tim McLemore, an ordained United Methodist clergyperson for 30 years, accepted an invitation to serve as Executive Director of Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park in May of 2015. His first career was as a professional musician, including four years with U.S. Air Force Bands in Shreveport, Louisiana, and in the Panama Canal Zone, as well as playing solo piano six nights per week while earning his Master of Divinity degree in Dallas. His primary

instruments include piano, guitar, electric bass, and clarinet. Tim is the newest member of Elk Hollow having joined the group in the summer of 2015, shortly after arriving in Estes Park.

Since the his vocal harmonies and electric bass have been a great addition to Elk Hollow.

Nancy Bell has lived in Estes Park and been involved in community theatre and other musical performances for the better part of the last 15 years. Like the members of Elk Hollow Nancy has often donated her time to raising funds for needy local organizations and has participated in every production of "It's Showtime.” She is a board-certified music therapist with a private practice, Life Rythms Music Therapy, as well as a social worker at the Estes Park Medical Center. In addition to music, Nancy loves the many outdoor adventures offered here each season, especially when she shares them with her husband and dog. She is so happy to

be participating in this event again this year.

Be prepared to sing along with Nancy and Elk Hollow with this special program featuring special songs from more than seventeen folk music legends.

The Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park is celebrating its 18th year of presenting outdoor music with a special Thursday Night Live dedicated to raise funds for The Cultural Arts Council. Thursday Night Live programs are offered free to the community but free will donations are accepted to help offset expenses and help support the various programs the Cultural Arts Council organizes.

The Thursday Night and Wednesday Night LIVE! performances are sponsored by the CAC and generous support from Coldwell Banker (Mary Murphy, Vicky Holler & Wayne Newsom), Mueller & Associates, and The Barrel. For more information, visit www.estesarts.com.

Wife Julie, also a work partner, says Parker is “a pretty humble guy who gives freely of his time and loves to be a part of Rotary.”

Winner of the Rotarian of the Year Award Longley Parker received his award from Tara Moenning.

Members of The Rotary Club of Estes Park recently presented the Rotarian of the Year Award to Longley Parker, club member, treasurer of its board and local business owner.

According to the club’s tradition, the award was presented by the person who earned the honored the previous year.

Tara Moenning, 2015 recipient, described the many attributes that earned Parker the award. Among those include his volunteerism with several community organizations, from the club’s Duck Race to foundation boards for the hospital and Salud on which he served as

as the treasurer for The Estes Park Duck Race and The Rotary Club of Estes Park. He is a huge asset to Rotary and the entire Estes Park community,” said from Scott Thompson, 2015-16 Rotary Club of Estes Park president.

2016 Silent Movies Comedy Film Festival At The Historic Park Theatre The Historic Park Theatre, located at 130 Moraine Avenue in Estes Park will present its fifth annual Silent Movie Comedy Film Festival with the first show on Thursday, August 11th at 2 p.m., then for the next three days: Friday, August 12th at 7 p.m., Saturday, August 13th at 7 p.m. and Sunday, August 14th, at 4 p.m.

Advance tickets are now on sale at Macdonald Book Shop, 152 E. Elkhorn or the Park Theatre box office, 130 Moraine Ave. or go online to www.historicparktheatre.com.

If you have not had the chance to experience this one-of-a-kind entertainment then this is the perfect place for it.

The theatre is the oldest motion picture theatre in the United States originally built specifically to show silent movies.

And while the theatre has a new digital projector, it has preserved most of its original charm and character. The theatre was built in 1913. Ralph Gwynn, who owned the theatre from 1926 until his death in 1963, added the landmark tower and lobby between 1926 and 1929.

This structure became known as the Tower of Love, because Gwynn built it to represent the beautiful love of his life, who, as the legend has it, jilted him at the alter!

The Park Theatre has survived a variety of hazards throughout the years, includ-

ing wind, lightning, and flood damage.

Even though the theatre is located alongside Fall River, it survived both the Lawn Lake flood of 1982 and the more recent September 2013 flood.

The Park Theatre was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. To commemorate its one hundred and third year of operation, celebrate the silent film era, Steve Smersh and the Historic Park Theatre are delighted to bring you four days of Silent Film Comedies.

Each day you will see three great comedy shows from the silent movie era with selected masterpieces of the best comedians, such as Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton; it’s wholesome fun for you and your family.

While there are silent films being shown at a few venues here and there, many are accompanied by a recorded sound track, not by an actual live piano, and not by an accomplished and seasoned pianist with the talent of Scott “Flyin’ Fingers” Wilseck.

Scott started playing piano at the age of 9. Growing up in Chicago, Illinois, he played with various bands in the Chicago area for over 20 years. He plays ragtime, country, blues, gospel, dixieland, ethnic, elevator music, western and can improvise in many genres. He’s a member of Riverside Ramblers, the Estes

Park dixieland band, but has also played with others in the Estes Park area at Performance Park. Scott tells us: “My first piano at home was a baby grand electric player. I would listen to those piano rolls, which were mostly ragtime, and I was fascinated. As a kid, I would go to the silent movie theatre in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I would watch the film and listen to the piano player accompanying the film. It was a lot of fun. I play a lot of different music types, but I always liked ragtime.

Scott accompanies silent movies with music of all different eras, but the songs are played in the style of the early 1900s, which make them excellent background for the action on the screen.

Did we mention... these shows are great fun for the whole family! You don’t have to check ratings to see if it’s okay to bring the kids. And the kids love it. Uproarious! Pies in the face fun! What could be more fitting and fun than showing movies as they were during the first years of operation?

Come to one of the shows and enjoy this rare, delightful, one-of-a-kind event — a unique opportunity to see silent movies just as they were performed long ago, in a theatre over 100 years old! This event is a fundraiser to help preserve the ongoing operation and restoration of this unique historic site.

Estes Park United Campaign Kicks Off

Volunteer-led fundraising effort focused on helping local children succeed The 8th annual Estes Park United campaign is now underway.

Estes Park United is a fundraising campaign led by community volunteers and administered by United Way of Larimer County. The goal of the campaign is to raise $15,000 by September 30, 2016 to invest in local nonprofit programs focused on helping local children succeed in school and life.

The recipient organizations were selected in 2014 by steering committee volunteers through an application process based on their program’s contributions to three areas that are critically important to helping children succeed in school and life: school readiness, early literacy and youth success.

"Supporting Estes Park United ensures the children of our community are ready for school and achieve lifetime literacy

by 4th grade,� shared Paul Mueller, a member of the Estes Park United volunteer committee and Chair of United Way of Larimer County’s Board of Directors. “Both of these are evidence-based solutions for breaking the cycle of generational poverty. Your investment today strengthens the entire Estes community for future generations.�

Estes Park United provides funding to four nonprofit organizations that collectively provide this type of support to your community. Kid’s CafÊ offers free lunch for children age three through 18 at the elementary school during the summer months. Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS) works to improve the quality of early childhood educational programs by providing resources and training to adults in the community. The Estes Park Learning Place offers a wide variety of tutoring services (K-12, GED tutoring, ACT/SAT preparation) based on the learner’s goals.

Partners Mentoring Youth creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships between positive adult role models and youth (ages 7-17 facing challenges in their personal, social, and academic lives) through School Based Mentoring, Community Based Mentoring, and Nexus Programs. These organizations work to make a difference in the lives of individuals with the belief that this will then positively benefit the community on a greater scale. “You, too, have the power to make a

beneficial influence on the lives of youth and adults in the Estes Valley,� said Kathy Nauman, Executive Director of The Estes Park Learning Place, one of the nonprofits benefiting from the Estes Park United campaign. “A donation to Estes Park United affords you a personal investment in the community by engaging with us to provide children and families high-quality programs that will help lead them to stronger, more successful, and independent lives.�

Donors can contribute to the campaign online at www.EstesParkUnited.org or send donations to PO Box 2651, Estes Park, CO, 80517.

For more information about Estes Park United, please contact Grant Stump with United Way of Larimer County at 970407-7085.

United Way of Larimer County helps local children and families succeed in school, work, and life by tackling the source of community challenges to drive change that lasts. We’re building a movement of people and organizations from across Larimer County to solve problems together and create results that help people today and make stronger foundations for tomorrow. Join the movement and be part of the change. There is something for everyone, including opportunities to volunteer, donate, and spread the word. Great things happen when we Live United.

New Great Courses Series: How To Stay Fit As You Age The Town of Estes Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senior Services Division is pleased to offer a Great Courses lecture series entitled How to Stay Fit as You Age. Video lectures will be taught by Certified Fitness and Wellness Consultant Kimberlee Bethany Bonura, PhD. Kelly Claypool, Senior Services Program Coordinator, will facilitate discussion. The nineweek course will be held on Mondays beginning August 1 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. The course is free and open to the public. Participants may attend any or all sessions; no registration is required. Stop by the Senior Center for a complete list of each weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course topics.

According to Dr. Bonura, scientific studies have shown that fitness not only promotes happiness and satisfaction in our lives at any age, but can also help alleviate or even stave off age-related issues such as illness, chronic pain, fatigue, and short-term memory loss.

With the knowledge, tools, resources, and support systems recommended by experts, Dr. Bonura believes you can build and maintain fitness in your 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond.

The course begins with a series of lec-

tures devoted to physical activity, which has been shown to improve energy, stamina, and immune system functioning, as well as reduce the risk of minor illnesses and even chronic conditions like diabetes. Just as important as physical fitness is mental fitness, which can improve self-esteem, reduce the risk of depression and anxiety, and reduce perceptions of pain.

Throughout the course Dr. Bonura presents ways of combining mental and physical exercises so that you can strengthen and improve your emotional, psychological, and physical fitness.

This DVD lecture series is produced by The Great Courses, a twenty-five-yearold educational company dedicated to producing engaging audio and video lectures by professors from leading universities.

For more information, please contact the Estes Park Senior Center at (970) 586-2996 or visit the Center at 220 Fourth Street, Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please visit the Senior Center website at www.estes.org/seniorcenter.

CSU Extenstion To Offer Free Program On Perennial Plants

The Town of Estes Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senior Services Division and the Estes Valley Community Garden, Inc. invite the community to learn about gardening with perennial plants. The program will take

place on Monday, August 8 at 1:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. Please call or stop by the Senior Center to sign up.

The program will be presented Alison Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, PhD, Horticulture Agent for the CSU Extension in Larimer County.

According to Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, perennials are versatile, tough, and adaptable to many landscape conditions, but care of these plants can be tricky. When do you divide iris? Should you deadhead perennials?

Are there spring blooming bulbs that grow in the Estes Valley? In this free program Alison will cover the answers to these and many other perennial related questions.

For more information, please contact the Estes Park Senior Center at (970) 586-2996 or visit the Center at 220 Fourth Street, Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please visit the Senior Center website at www.estes.org/seniorcenter.

Free program open to all ages Following two well-received dream workshops, the Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division is pleased to offer the opportunity to further explore your dreams with local author and Archetypal Dreamwork Practitioner, Mary Jo Heyen. She will lead a Dream Circle on Thursday, August 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. There is no cost to attend, but those who have not participated in a previous dream workshop will need to purchase a materials packet ($6) that includes a copy of Mary Jo’s dream primer, “Who Are Those Guys?” The Dream Circle is limited to six participants, and advanced registration is required. Participants should bring 1-3 written dreams they are willing to share with the group.

Mary Jo says, “When we come together in circles—prayer circles, drumming circles, dream circles—we create a container, a connection, with no beginning and no end, where each one has a voice, where we explore and learn together.

Whether you’ve worked with your dreams for years or if you’re just stepping into them, sharing together in a small group can open up your dream in unexpected and meaningful ways.”

New Great Course Series: Death, Dying And The Afterlife The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division is pleased to offer a Great Courses lecture series entitled Death, Dying, and the Afterlife: Lessons from World Cultures. Video lectures will be taught by Mark Berkson, PhD, Professor and Chair of the Religion Department at Hamline University. Beth Headley, who works as a Senior Services Program Coordinator and also holds a Master’s Degree in Philosophy, will facilitate discussion. The interdisciplinary 12-week course will be held on Fridays beginning August 5 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. The course is free and open to the public.

Participants may attend any or all sessions; no registration is required. Stop by the Senior Center for a complete list of each week’s course topics.

According to Professor Berkson, the choices we make are shaped in countless ways by how we think about death, what we believe happens after death, and by what death—and life—ultimately mean.

The inescapability of death and our knowledge of our mortality impact every aspect of our lives. In order to understand death in all its dimensions, Berkson believes we need to bring in the disciplinary lenses of theology, philosophy,

history, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and literature. By entering into conversations with thinkers, texts, and traditions representing a wide range of the human experience, Berkson believes we are led to the kind of existential reflection that can change how we live and die.

The course, consisting of 24 lectures, is organized around five key questions: How do human beings think and feel about death? How do human beings experience death? How do the world’s religious traditions understand and approach death and the afterlife? When is it justified to take life? How important is death to our understanding of what it means to be human?

This DVD lecture series is produced by The Great Courses, a twenty-five-yearold educational company dedicated to producing engaging audio and video lectures by professors from leading universities.

For more information, please contact the Estes Park Senior Center at (970) 586-2996 or visit the Center at 220 Fourth Street, Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please visit the Senior Center website at www.estes.org/seniorcenter.

First Thursday Meditation Meets August 4 The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division and local meditation and dream teacher Mary Jo Heyen will continue to offer Group Meditation on the first Thursday of each month from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. The next meeting will take place on Thursday, August 4 at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street.

There is no fee, but advanced sign-up at the Senior Center is required.

The group is open to all those interested, and no prior meditation experience is necessary. Each class will include an exploration of issues and challenges that may arise in developing one’s own

practice, a guided meditation, as well as silent meditation.

For more information on Mary Jo’s background and training, please visit her website, Dreams: The Sacred Experiment, at www.maryjoheyen.com.

A Happy Wife Makes For A Happy Life Would someone making decisions about Fish Creek Road repairs please make my wife happy? She is depressed and annoyed that the northern end of the road recently received asphalt coverage over the makeshift dirt portions of the road. "What are we on the southern end of Fish Creek - chopped liver?" she asks. She even has gone so far as to accuse the chiropractors and auto repair businesses in our town of a conspiracy to pay off the decision makers so their businesses will continue to flourish. The point she makes may have merit, since the terrible washboard surfaces are lousing up car-occupants' backs and destroying car shock absorbers. She points out that we are six weeks shy of three years since Mother Nature dumped on us with the 100- or 1000-year flood, and wonders what's up with the road repairs.

Well, to try to make her happy and my life happy again, I went so far as to interview Public Works director Greg Muhonen about the lack of progression of the Fish Creek Road repair. I went to see Greg in hopes that he could make me understand why we always seem to draw the short straw when things are supposed to happen. To my astonishment, he informed me that there are five entities in-

volved with repairing the road: the Town of Estes, Larimer County, the State Highway Department, Upper Thompson Sanitation and FEMA. This means that the five organizations have to agree on what needs to happen, when it happens and who pays for it. At one time during last year's planning sessions, each of the responsible organizations had consultants hired, which meant that they had 12 voices in the mix. That is too many fingers in the pie, all of which seems to have slowed down the progress. What can be done to move things along, or at least appease my wife so I can have a happy life?

I'm seeing doctors regularly, and my numerous vehicles are starting to need new shock absorbers. Help, this situation is costing me money, as well as medications for my wife's road depression.

Here's a thought for the next meeting about Fish Creek Road - ask 10 of the assembled honchos to leave the room and the remaining two can make a decision to asphalt the washboard dirt places in the road. Please get rid of the dirt before I get hurt! Use recycled asphalt if you have to, it worked well in my driveway.

Those of you who are married know that a happy wife is happy life - I need a happy life!

Wendy Allen & Edward Ickes Are Married Wendy Allen, formerly of Estes Park, married Edward Ickes of Evans, on July 17 in a rustic wedding in Masonville, officiated by Judge Gary Brown.

The wedding party consisted of the bride's son, Jeremiah Allen, the groom's children Phil and Rachel Ickes, and the groom's granddaughter Aiyana Ickes. The groom is employed by Broadcom Limited in Fort Collins. The bride is self employed in Estes Park. The couple plans to make their home in Evans.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

New Construction

Please Help Your Friends Behave Better To Protect RMNP In 2015, Rocky Mountain National Park was the third most visited national park with over 4.1 million visitors. So far this year, Rocky is experiencing a twelve percent increase in visitation from last year.

Over the last 100 years, the reasons people visit are the same: to experience nature, to seek solitude, to enjoy scenic grandeur, to watch wildlife, and to partake in outstanding recreational activities. National parks are special places for all of us and for future generations too!

Most visitors know how to behave while enjoying their national parks. Some do not. Park staff continue to see a large increase in behaviors that do not protect the park or visitor experiences. Plan to visit Rocky Mountain National Park with friends who need some tips? Here are a few of ours!

When your friends suggest you visit the park between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., propose instead the importance of planning ahead.

Coming to Rocky between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. during the summer and fall can mean full parking lots, congested roads, busy trails, and long lines and wait times at entrance stations. This year the park has restricted vehicle access numerous times in the Bear Lake Road Corridor and Wild Basin Corridor due to congestion and full parking lots. Instead recommend hiking early or late. Check the weather forecast before you arrive at the park to better plan your day and destinations. If you plan to hike later in the day, it is critical that you know the weather forecast for the elevation of your destination. If possible, avoid weekends.

When your friends say, “Let’s have a campfire,” please let them know that Rocky always has fire restrictions in place: campfires are prohibited except within designated campfire rings in picnic areas and frontcountry campgrounds. Last year the park saw a significant increase in illegal escaped campfires. In the fall of 2012, the Fern Lake Fire started from an illegal campfire. That fire burned over 3,000 acres, caused evacuation of a portion of Estes Park, and cost more than 6 million dollars to suppress.

Do your friends create parking spaces where there are none? If their next door neighbor was having a garage sale would they accept customers partaking in this garage sale to park in their front yard? On their prized rose bushes? Encourage them to park in designated parking spaces in Rocky Mountain National Park. These include durable surfaces like asphalt and gravel, not on grass, meadows, bushes, or alpine tundra.

When your very close friend indicates they need to potty, first and foremost suggest an established restroom facility. If you are on a trail and a restroom facility is not nearby then leave no trace of your activity or “business.” Do not step off the trail and leave your “business” for others to see, including the park’s trail and wilderness crews as well as other visitors. If peeing, recommend to your friend to “drip-dry” or if toilet paper is necessary then take the toilet paper out in a baggy, backpack or pocket. If your friend is a frequent

pooper, suggest taking care of that before hiking. If nature calls, plan ahead – bring a waste bag, or research tips on how to poop in the woods. Friends don’t let friends go to the bathroom near water sources. Just think, you might be drinking from that water source the next day!

When your friends ask, “How close can I get to that elk, deer, bobcat, coyote, badger, bear, marmot …?” suggest they ask a different question, such as “How far should I stay back?” Let wildlife be wild and observe from a distance. Your friends might get closer to wildlife, until the wildlife reacts to their presence. When that happens, it’s too late, they have reached the threshold. The elk, deer, bobcat … might leave the area because of them, affecting wildlife viewing opportunities for others. Let your friends know that approaching wildlife is illegal in Rocky Mountain National Park and it doesn’t matter if they are doing it to take a photograph. There are no exceptions. Recommend investing in a good telephoto lens. Do they feel it’s only a good photograph if they are in the photo with the wildlife? Suggest they take a photo of Rocky Mountain National Park’s entrance sign, followed by great distant photos of wildlife. Their friends on social media will realize that they are having an adventure in a national park: being eight feet from an elk is dangerous, illegal and not necessary to demonstrate an adventuresome spirit.

When your friends ask, “Can we take our dog, cat, bunny… on park trails?” let them know pets are prohibited on ALL park trails, alpine tundra and meadows. Their leashed pet can only accompany them on established roads, parking areas, established campground and picnic areas; basically where cars can go. When they express that their dog is small and can be carried, that their dog is huge and can fend for itself, or that their dog is better behaved than your child, remind them that Rocky is wilderness. Dogs are predators that can chase, scare, and transmit diseases to wildlife. Their dog could also become prey for wildlife like coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats and Great Horned Owls. Park visitors should be able to enjoy native wildlife in their natural environment at Rocky Mountain National Park without disruption from other visitors’ pets.

When your friends want to take a rock, antler, bouquet of wildflowers, chipmunk or anything else from Rocky Mountain National Park, suggest they take a photo instead and leave what they find. What if, in 2015, 4.1 million visitors took an object from the park with them?

A few extra tips: camping in Rocky Mountain National Park requires a permit; it is illegal to feed wildlife in the park, big or small, this includes chipmunks and birds; stay on existing established trails, the increase of social trails is damaging the park’s incredible resources; please leave no trace, this includes taking apple cores, orange peels and everything else you and your friend brought into the park with you, along with wonderful memories of your visit!

Poet Juley Harvey Journeys To Another Award & Appears In National Publications

Welcome to Wonderview Village!

Only 3 Left!

Quality new construction waiting for you to customize and create your dream home. 3 BR/2.5 BA offers hardwood floors, granite, cathedral ceilings, gas F/P, garage and mountain views from the deck or patio. This development is one of a kind to be enjoyed as a primary residence or weekend getaway.

Starting at $380,000 tbd Willowstone

Estes Park resident Juley Harvey, former journalist and both former and current poet, is in the news again. She is included in several new national anthologies, just released or soon-to-be, and has garnered a second-place monetary prize and an invitation to read in San Francisco.

Her poem, "a life in 5 minutes," appears in "Soul Survivors: From Trauma to Triumph," edited by Lynn C. Johnston, a Whispering Angels Book publication.

This poem also received honorary mention in the Estes Valley Library's first annual fire and flood poetry contest. In the contributors' biography section, the Estes Valley Library is credited. Part of the proceeds from the anthology goes to charitable organizations promoting physical, spiritual, and emotional healing. A quote, by Haruki Murakami, at the beginning of the book says: "And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive....But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in."

Next, in walking about, is Harvey's poem, "the eyes of winter," set to appear in Thurston Howl's anthology, "Wolf Warriors III: Winter Wolves." with proceeds going to the national Wolfwatcher Coalition.

In yet more walking, Harvey's poem, "the walk home," is featured in the prestigious black-and-white series from Tall Grass Writers and Outrider Press, edited

by Whitney Scott, and called, "Home."

Scott has included Harvey's works in several previous editions, as has Johnston and the Artists Embassy International (where she has earned a first-place and third-place in previous competitions the last few years, as well as the invitation to read). A review of Johnston's "Miracles & Extraordinary Blessings" anthology included this praise: "In one of the best poems in this collection, Juley Harvey's rich 'generations/photograph' is a tribute to the spirit of women and the continuity of memory and purpose, 'a light' passed on from life to life."

This year, for the Artists Embassy International's 23rd annual Dancing Poetry Festival, she received a second-place monetary prize and invitation to read her poem, "monet day," at San Francisco's California Palace of Legion of Honor in September.

She is a member of the Fall River Writers group, whose work and criticism she enjoys and appreciates.

She feels the acceptances and rejections almost balance out (many received on the same day or near-enough). Harvey continues to create and send out submissions, and is also working on a novel.

St. Francis To Host 2nd Annual “Your Cup Of Tea” A Traditional Tea with a Touch of Whimsy Come join us Saturday, July 30th at 11:30 a.m. for a delightful “tea & crumpets” kind of afternoon.

Your Cup of Tea will be a memorable event you won’t want to miss. Ladies, wear your best tea hat, as there will be a hat contest. Make your hat beautiful or fanciful and you could take home the prize! Tea isn’t just for the ladies, men are welcome and encouraged to come, as well.

Each guest will be seated at one of our uniquely decorated tables. The menu is a balance of sweet and savory that includes delightful scones, scrumptious sandwiches, and luscious desserts. We will also offer traditional accompaniments: Devonshire cream, jam and lemon curd. This bounty is served in two courses by our kilt-wearing servers.

Will you have one lump or two with your tea?

There will also be a silent auction with a wide variety of gifts, décor items, and treasures, allowing you to shop early for the upcoming holiday season. Bidding will open at 11:00 a.m. and continue throughout the tea.

We also invite you to tour our beautiful church. It is an historical replica of Italy’s St. Francis of Assisi.

Afterwards, take time to walk the Stations of the Cross in the tranquil Via Delarosa garden.

Tickets are available in advance for $25.

Early reservations are strongly recommended as we cannot guarantee tickets will be available at the door, due to high demand. Contact Andrea McCready at 970-231-9161 to purchase your tickets today. The Tea will be held at St Francis of Assisi, 3480 St. Francis Way, Estes Park, CO. Direction markers will be placed along turn-offs on Little Valley Rd. For more details, call Andrea McCready at 970-213-9161. Visit us on the web at www.stfrancis.us for directions and a map to the church. Like us on Facebook ww.facebook.com/ saintfrancisestespark.

Calling All Golfers! Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership’s 5th Annual Golf Tournament August 13 Calling all golfers!

Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership’s 5th Annual Restorative Justice Golf Tournament is Saturday, August 13th. Golfers of all abilities are welcome and encouraged to play in this four-person scramble with Peoria System of Handicapping. An $80 player fee includes green fees, golf cart, free range balls, golfer goodie bag, entry into drawing for numerous prizes and post-tournament BBQ reception. Players can sign up as a team or as free agents to be placed on a team. Special contests enable individual golfers to showcase closest tee shots and drives, and longest putts on special contest holes. Tournament prizes are awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams. Door prizes are also given, and range from local goodies provided by merchants in Estes Park to a week’s stay in Cape Coral, Florida!

Not a golfer? Don’t fret! Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership graciously accepts sponsorships and prize donations to support the organization and event. Sponsorships help promote your company and market your services to tournament participants. Various levels of sponsorship are available and include banner displays, sign recognition on the course and contest sponsors. All sponsors are invited to attend the 19th Hole Awards Program and will be recognized in both the tournament brochure and post-tournament article. All prizes donors will be noted in the tournament brochures and during the post-tournament reception.

This year’s tournament is named in honor of Carroll Mock, who dedicated

many years of service to EVRJP - as a board member, program volunteer and fundraiser extraordinaire. Carroll passed away last fall and is dearly missed. Please come and play in his memory, as Carroll’s life and contributions to RJ are honored and celebrated during the Carroll Mock Memorial Golf Tournament.

Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership (EVRJP) was created in 2002 as a joint venture between the Estes Park Police Department and a 501c3 nonprofit.This collaboration allows EVRJP to serve the entire Estes valley with restorative programming. EVRJP programs include; Community Group Conferencing, for offenses referred by the police, DA and municipal court, Restorative Community Mediation, for smaller-scale disputes, Community Circles for parolees reentering the community following release from incarceration, and three programs done in partnership with the Estes Park School District, Student Support & Accountability Circles, for at risk students at the middle and high schools, and Girls Circles and Boys Council, proactive resilience-building programs for schoolaged youth. All EVRJP programs are volunteer-based. In addition to enabling EVRJP to serve the entire Estes Valley, funds raised through the golf tournament help to provide support services, trainings, and ongoing professional development to the volunteers who enable restorative programs to happen.

To register, sponsor, donate and/or request additional information, please contact Melissa Westover at restorativejustice@estes.org or (970) 577-3829.

The Allenspark Performing Arts Review Of Rodgers And Hammerstein Musical At The Old Gallery In Allenspark gave us three very male nuns, big guys prayerfully clomping through the choreography and winding up with “How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?”

You’ve seen Seabees in “South The Allenspark Performing Arts Company proved in past summers that it can provide a delightful evening of community theater.

So I bought tickets for this year’s “Some Enchanted Evening: Songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein” with only one nagging doubt. Am I too jaded by familiarity to enjoy another dose of songs from “Oklahoma,” “South Pacific,” “Sound of Music,” et al. Last year they dazzled with fresh treatment of the less familiar lyrics in “Side by Side by Sondheim,” work that certainly hasn’t worn out its welcome.

One promising news tip before opening night: When Allenspark got the rights from the R&H estate, director Danielle Hermon Wood was encouraged to feel free to be playful in her treatment of these great but oft-heard songs.

And she gave us the best of both worlds. We got powerful treatments of the emotional biggies, such as Danielle and husband Brandon on “I Have Dreamed” from “The King and I,” which closed Act One, and South Pacific’s “Some Enchanted Evening,” a soaring finale by the entire company.

But we also got pleasant surprises. I’m not a great fan of directors putting their own stamp on old favorites, but every time Danielle departed from tradition, it worked for me.

For example, you’ve heard those Austrian nuns sing, “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” Well, the director

Pacific” singing, “There is nothing like a dame,” but this time the five men, Brandon Wood, John Boggs, Larry Pierce and Mark Lewis, led by Glenn Patterson, wore workout shorts against a gym backdrop.

When three women (Danielle, Beth Anderson and Deborah Webb) claimed to be “Cockeyed Optimists” while indulging themselves around a table at the Rock Inn, they kept their spirits up by smoking, drinking or gorging on ice cream.

Speaking of those backdrops, all 29 songs came with scenic graphics designed by the Woods, starting with a screen filled with posters of all the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, including “State Fair,” the only one written first as a film. It gave us “A Grand Night

for Singing,” part of a rousing opening medley, and “It Might as Well be Spring,” a sweet treatment by Christy Florence.

Anyone not swept into the spirit by the full company on that opening medley didn’t have to wait long to surrender to a series if sure things that began with Pierce serenading Sydney Wood. Pierce has starred in all the Allenspark musicals but he sang “Surrey with the Fringe on Top” to the director’s daughter, a 6-year-

most moving songs of the evening, “Lonely Room,” Jud Fry’s lament from “Oklahoma,” and “Soliloquy” from “Carousel.” (Maybe you recall it as the doomed leading man anticipating the birth of “My boy Bill.”)

I’ve seen “Oklahoma” often on stage and on film, and paid little attention to “Lonely Room.” Pierce made the threatening Jud empathetic and made me wonder how I’d missed the power of that outcast’s lament.

There were too many highlights to mention, but I’ll squeeze in a few more favorites: Joan Harrold doing “My Own Little Corner” from “Cinderella,” Wood and Boggs on “A Fellow Needs a Girl” from the lesser-known “Allegro,” Mark and Rachael Lewis joining on “If I Loved You” from “Carousel,” and Beth Anderson taking the lead for the women’s ensemble on “I’m Gonna Wash that Man Right Outa My Hair.”

Add the piano talent of Margie Patterson, along with John Boggs, and the visual touches from those scenic graphics and we were rewarded with a terrific night of musical theater at The Old Gallery.

old scene-stealer.

All she needed to do was beam up at the Oklahoma cowboy and then yawn and close her eyes as her head fell on his shoulder at the end of the surrey ride.

She also made the most of others chances to share the spotlight with Fianna Lewis, her slightly older friend, on such numbers as “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” from “Sound of Music.”

And Pierce was only getting started with that opener. He later delivered the

The 68th Annual Hilltop Guild Festival And Bazaar August 6

The 68th annual Hilltop Guild Festival and Bazaar will take place Saturday, Aug. 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. off Highway 7 in the mountain town of Allenspark. Free admission!

The nearly 70 members of the Guild have spent the past year at the Kelley House weaving, quilting and sewing

hand-crafted items that will be for sale on Aug. 6. Be prepared to purchase oneof-a-kind items: gourd art, needlework, boutique items, collectibles, books, candles, jewelry, jellies, baked goods.

A raffle will be held for artwork and hand-crafted doll house perfect for a young person in your life. The Guild's

famous peanut brittle and toffee will be sold in addition to handmade rhubarb jam and crab-apple and chokecherry jellies.

Live music will entertain guests and you will be able to buy a pulled-pork lunch at the famous Kelley's Deli with all the fixings.

The Kelley House, a large log cabin home that was donated to the Guild and became its headquarters many years ago, is located at 18720 Peak to Peak Highway 7.

The great thing about the annual bazaar is this: funds raised are used to support local scholarships for high school graduates, the Allenspark Fire District, aging services in the community and special disaster relief services.

See you in the mountains on Aug. 6!

Authors To Speak At The Old Gallery Rocky Mountain National Park has always been one of the most popular vacation spots in America, with more than three million visitors last year alone. But what was it like for visitors 100 years ago? What did they do? Why did they come? What was it like to work in a lodge and interact with summer visitors in the 1940s?

You can find out, by attending two sessions of the Rocky Mountain 101 Speaker Series at The Old Gallery in Allenspark in August.

Rocky Mountain 101 is a free series featuring appearances by experts who will share information and insights about issues, wildlife and history.

Author Suzanne Silverthorn is the featured speaker on Thursday, August 4 at 7 p.m. Her book, “Around Rocky Mountain National Park,” features more than 200 postcards that provide a chronology of the early hotels, ranches, lodges and other settings that have shaped the park’s history for more than a century. Copies of her book will be available for sale and can be signed by the author.

“We’re thrilled that Suzanne agreed to join us,” The Old Gallery Board Chair Cathy Benjamin said. “She’s coming from the Western Slope for the presentation.

On Thursday, August 11 authors Kay Turnbaugh and Lee Tillotson will discuss their new book, “Rocky Mountain National Park Dining Room Girl: The Summer of 1926 at Horseshoe Inn.” The book chronicles the simple lifestyle of a young lady leaving home for a summer

job in the Rocky Mountains. Books will be on hand for sale and autographs.

The final presentation in the series takes place on Thursday, August 18.

“We’ll be showing “The Great Divide,” a feature length documentary film by Emmy winning Havey Productions about the history and future of Colorado water,” said Benjamin. Following the film, there will be a panel discussion with Q&A by St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy District Executive Director Sean Cronin, SVLHWCD Board Member Glenn Patterson and Attorney Robert Kerr, who has practiced in the field of water, environmental and land conservation law for 35 years.

“This is the second year we have offered this free educational series at The Old Gallery. By understanding our surroundings and history better, our experience here in the mountains is enhanced,” Benjamin said.

Rocky Mountain 101 is free to the public, but donations at the event are welcomed. The Old Gallery is a nonprofit organization that recently completed a renovation project. It is being funded by a Capital Campaign, donations and grants. Additional donations can still be made at www.theoldgallery.org.

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

Square Dancing Takes Off At The Old Gallery In Allenspark Once upon a time, square dancing was a nightly affair in Allenspark, but that died out in late Seventies.

“Well, it looks like it’s coming back!” said Elisabeth Sherwin, Chair of the Advisory Board for The Old Gallery in Allenspark.

“We hosted our first square dancing event— complete with a caller and live band—on July 3,” she said.

“More than 60 people participated, from young children to grandparents and everyone in between!”

“On Sunday, August 14 and Sunday, Sept 4 we’re offering

a free square dance from 7-9 p.m. at The Old Gallery,” said Sherwin. “It’s open to anyone who wants to learn how to square dance, as well as those who know what they’re doing. You don’t have to come with a partner, either. All are welcome!”

Chris Kermiet will again serve as the square dance caller, and local band Sage Grouse will provide live square dancing music.

“We attract performers from across the Front Range, and in our immediate areas,” Wood said. “There are actors and actresses who have appeared in multiple productions including Christy Pratt Florence of Estes Park, who has appeared in five productions, including playing Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof and Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady. Larry Pierce of Estes Park has also appeared in all six musicals, playing Tevye in Fiddler on the

Roof and Alfred P. Doolittle in My Fair Lady.” She continued, “It will be the first appearance for six-year-old Sydney Wood of Longmont and nine-year-old Fianna Lewis of Allenspark, while Glenn Patterson of Allenspark has appeared in all six productions.”

“The summer musical programs began at The Old Gallery in 2011,” said Wood.

Previous productions include Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady and Side by Side

This is Wood’s second year as musical director of the Allenspark Performing Arts Company.

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. What’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 2016 is this Sunday morning July 31st 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 summer’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.

Maybe it is time for you to “come to the mountain” and celebrate Christmas in July.
