Old Fall River Road In Rocky Mountain National Park Set To Open This Friday, July 3

Rocky Mountain National Park officials announced that Old Fall River Road will be open this Friday, July 3. The road was closed all of 2014 due to road damage caused by the 2013 flood. Crews have been hard at work making repairs caused by severe erosion and we’re pleased that the old road will open on schedule this year.

From the RMNP website: Opened in 1920, Old Fall River Road earned the distinction of being the first auto route in Rocky Mountain National Park offering access to the park's high country. In the minds of many park visitors, the relatively subtle old route remains foremost. Unlike Trail Ridge Road, which is well known for being the highest continuous paved road in the nation, the Old Fall River Road is a much more "motor nature trail."

Primarily gravel, one-way uphill and punctuated by switchbacks, slower-paced, 11mile-long. The old road quietly leads travelers from Horseshoe Park (a short dis-

tance west of the Fall River Entrance) through the park's wilderness to Fall River Pass, 11,796 feet above sea level.

The journey to the alpine world at the top of Old Fall River Road is relaxing.

The experience is one to be savored.

The posted speed limit is 15 miles per hour, a clear indication that a journey up Old Fall River Road is not for the impatient. There are no guard rails along this road. The road itself is safe, but narrow and curved. In places, the trees of the montane and subalpine forests are so close that motorists can touch them. Old Fall River Road is ideal for visitors seeking to become intimate with nature.

The road follows a route traveled long ago by Indian hunters, who came to the

park area in search of its abundant game.

Early in the trip, travelers pass the alluvial fan scoured out by the 1982 Lawn Lake Flood and the site of a labor camp that housed state convicts who worked on the road project. For these men, crime did not pay.

The laborers were forced to build the three-mile stretch of road to the scenic respite of Chasm Falls with no more than hand tools at their disposal.

After passing Willow Park, where elk often are seen feeding on the foliage, the road enters the alpine tundra. Awaiting there is the Fall River Cirque, birthplace of glaciers that once worked their way up and down the mountain valleys. The road traverses the headwall of this am-

phitheater-like formation before joining Trail Ridge Road near the Alpine Visitor Center at Fall River Pass.

Ahead lie the wonders of Trail Ridge Road, which leads travelers east to Estes Park or southwest to Grand Lake. Behind is Old Fall River Road, that winding old route that offers travelers a taste of auto travel in days gone by and a look at Rocky Mountain's nature close-up.

Don’t miss your chance to drive up Old Fall River Road, its a ride to remember!

6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday nights for 12 classes and one Saturday field day. There will be no class the week of Thanksgiving.

The Citizens Academy is designed to give citizens an overview of the operations of

Locally known as Estes Park in Bloom, the project is a community-wide effort involving businesses, residents and Town government. America in Bloom is the only organization of its kind offering an award program with on-site, oneonone mentoring and coaching by a team of expert judges who will provide the local committee with a detailed, written evaluation following its visit. The evaluation is based upon six criteria: floral displays, urban forestry, landscaped areas, heritage preservation, environmental efforts, and the overall impression/cleanliness of the community.

Since America in Bloom was founded in 2001, more than 230 cities in 45 states have participated.

epnews.com Just as I am reaching the age when life is supposed to become clear, I cannot see.

When this cumber began I simply stretched my arm to hold the newspaper a bit farther from my eyes. But as one ages one’s arms shrink so this remedy didn’t last long. Soon I could not hold the paper far enough away. Something had to be done: either have surgery to lengthen my arm, or get reading glasses.

I’ll never forget the book club meeting when Mary Bolgeo showed up with her readers. Mary is my age, and when I saw that she took the plunge—and almost seemed pleased about her new facial adornment—it was time for me to swallow my pride and do the same.

Since then I have invested in more reading glasses than I have drinking glasses.

There are two pair on the piano (if I grab one to use at the computer, there’s still one left for practicing at the keyboard), two at the computer (the one from the piano plus the pair buried under a pile of to do lists, letters, my scribbled first attempt at a nested poem, an outdated resume, and appropriately, an AARP membership application—in 24-point type because AARP knows its members can’t see any better than they can hear.) There are also reading glasses next to the bed, in the bathroom (to see as I apply lip color, don’tcha know), near the cookbooks in the kitchen, in my purse and in the car. If one pair goes missing, I just go to the dollar store and buy three more.

One can never have too many pairs of readers. The one-dollar pairs are just as useful as the two-hundred-dollar ones and if you sit on a dollar pair, you have an excuse to go buy a new look without breaking the bank. If you bend an expensive pair, you have to keep wearing them crooked and out of shape because you haven’t had them long enough to justify spending another small fortune to get a new pair. Looks awful.

What does this have to do with being on fleek? (“Whoa! Where did that come from?” I hear you saying. “Honey, do you know what on fleek means or am I gonna have to look it up?” you say.

“How is it used?” Honey asks.

“It’s in The Thunker’s column this week,” you explain.

“Well then, better look it up,” Honey says.

But you won’t find on fleek in any old dictionary so let me help.)

First, some background: I was sailing through Facebook the other day (no, I have not been able to wean myself from seeing how much more fun everyone else is having than I) and saw that Kesha’s eyebrows were on fleek. (I don’t know Kesha and have no idea why her post appeared on my page. But I do know Kesha’s having

more fun than I am. And that her eyebrows are on fleek.)

Facebook gave me pause. I didn’t know what it meant but I was pretty sure I wanted to be on fleek, or at least use the term in my column. Because the average reader of The Thunker can remember when gas was eighteen cents a gallon, (agewise, Estes Park is the oldest community in Colorado) I assume most Thunker fans also don’t know the term on fleek. So I pursued. I read a few more posts to get the context.

Here are excerpts from that Facebook conversation (I assume this stuff isn’t copyrighted) [Thunker comments are in brackets]: First FBer: I submit that it is possible for one to be on fleek without necessarily being aware of their status. In fact, I hold that such obliviousness may, in fact, actually enhance the status of the subject vis a vis fleekitude. In fact, is it not the observer who is the ultimate arbiter of that which is fleek? [See, isn’t this intriguing? Don’t you want more?]

Second FBer: I subscribe to a similar school of thought, but am fairly certain that a basic tenet of fleekocity is thus: That an attribute (eyebrows?) must be clearly “tight,” “crisp,” “trim,” “neat,” or “straight” or variations thereupon.

First FBer: I live in a constant state of “rumpled,” “wrinkled,” “askew,” and “caddywhompus if you’re nasty.”

Second FBer: A right rumbullion you are, sir! [I found no definition of rumbullion anywhere and thought about investigating but decided I should stick to one unknown at a time. On fleek.]

First FBer: Watching her is exactly like drawing a derp-face on a Whoopie Cushion and slowly pressing the air out of it while your dad lectures you on how you should’ve gone into accounting.

[Derp-face? I had to look that up too. It is a facial expression that often involves eyes turned in different directions and a stupid smile. See what one learns on Facebook?]

So, with that captivating Facebook set-up, I tracked down the definition of on fleek on Urban Dictionary—an online dictionary for slang terms that nobody over the age of 30 uses or understands. Here is what I found. Ready? Holding your breath?

On fleek is a state of completeness and flawlessness; the quality of being perfect. It is a combination of the words fly and sleek.

There you have it. Those of us woefully wearing reading glasses are not on fleek, but I bet our eyebrows are. No derp-faces here. Rumbullions, all of us.

Celebrate World Listening Day And Banning The Buzz People come to Rocky Mountain National Park for many reasons; but all of them include reconnecting with nature through the splendid sights and sounds the park has to offer. Whether hiking one of the many trails, taking in the amazing wildlife and colorful scenery or just quietly relaxing beside one of the park’s many lakes, all of these things can be done without the constant drone of commercial air tours flying overhead.

World Listening Day, which this year takes place on July 18, is being set aside as a special day to celebrate the quiet of Rocky Mountain National Park. In Rocky, commercial air tours are permanently banned by an act of Congress.

This legislation was a direct result of a movement to protect the resource of natural sounds in Rocky led by the League of Women Voters of Estes Park.

This year, in honor of World Listening Day, the National Park Service (NPS) Natural Sounds and Night Sky Division and the League of Women Voters of Estes, will be presenting a day of activities at the Beaver Meadows Visitor’s Center to showcase the natural sounds of Rocky.

The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division helps protect the natural and cultural soundscapes of NPS lands.

Planned activities will run from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and will feature crafts, interactive games, and a natural sound scavenger hunt.

Community Cultural/Creative Arts Benefit All A strong cultural arts presence is good for people, towns, and economic growth.

That's the conclusion reached in a comprehensive study conducted by America for the Arts (AFTA) and in a review of Denver's economic activity gathered by the Colorado Business Community for the Arts (CBCA). Resident household income, equivalent full-time jobs, and revenues to local and state governments increase with the development of culture and art.

Carefully nurturing cultural arts can also bring prosperity to depressed urban areas. Just ask Bill Marino, Chair of the Board of Directors, 40 West Arts and Kevin Yoshida, Architect, Urban Designer and Chair of Board of Directors, West Colfax Business Improvement District about the resurgence of the West Colfax Corridor, known as 40 West—the historic heart of Lakewood—through arts & culture and the energy of creative enterprises.

It follows that the pursuit of a diverse cultural/creative arts district in Estes Park could positively impact residents, business owners, and visitors. And so, the Estes Arts District recommends that cultural/creative arts be considered an essential, significant piece in the town's visioning process.

The AFTA Economic Prosperity IV report that documented the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry incorporated data from "182 study regions representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia." The diverse, small rural to large urban areas included communities with populations of "1,600 to 4 million". AFTA measured "the spending of 9,721 nonprofit arts

and culture organizations and 151,802 (event) attendees to determine total industry spending."

According to the 2010 study, the cultural arts nonprofit organizations and audiences expenditures exceeded $135 billion and generated more than 4 million full-time equivalent jobs. They contributed $6.67 billion in revenue to state coffers.

Marcie Erion, the Estes Arts District Strategic Planning Consultant, agreed with the AFTA's finding that cultural travelers stay at a destination 60% longer and spend 60% more than other travelers.

The CBCA Activity Study of Metro Denver Culture, which "is calculated using 2013 data reported by nearly 300 organizations that received distributions from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD)" attributed $1.85 billion in economic activity and 10,205 jobs to the arts in the metro region. The region included seven counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson. The SCFD is "considered a national model that supports [a] diverse, collaborative, vibrant and unique environment.

Members of the Estes Arts District steering committee believe that town residents and business owners could similarly benefit if strategic planning discussions placed greater emphasis on the cultural/creative arts. Large scale studies and more focused economic analyses suggest that making cultural/creative arts central rather than ancillary to town visioning is both logical and responsible.

The Estes Park Cycling Coalition invites cyclists of all abilities and bikes of all tire widths to join the Saturday morning “show-n-go” ride.

Meet at Kind Coffee, located at 470 E. Elkhorn Ave, at 7:00 a.m.

Route length and difficulty will vary but there’s always spectacular scenery and great company! Ride rain or sunshine!

American Alpine Club CEO To Talk At Baldpate Inn

American Alpine Club CEO Phil Powers, who climbed K2 and 5.13 peaks in the same summer, will give a presentation on risk management Friday, June 24, 2015, at 8:00 p.m. at The Baldpate Inn Amphitheatre, 4900 South Highway 7, Estes Park. Admission is $10.00, with proceeds going to Longs Peak Reunion 2015.

The lecture will be held at The Key Room inside The Baldpate Inn if inclement weather occurs.

Powers has always considered himself a very conservative climber. However, miscommunication, complacency and lack of partner experience contributed to a serious mountaineering accident, just a few miles from his home.

Powers will talk about K2, Gasherbrum II and other expeditions and what he learned along the way about taking risks.

A question and answer session will follow the conclusion of the talk. For more information, or to purchase advanced tickets please call Greg at 303-949-5964.

Estes Park Yoga Studio Now Open!

Located in the heart of downtown Estes Park, in a window-filled space on the second floor of the Park Place Mall, attendees to the studio can escape for an hour from the summer hustle and bustle.

The space has been renovated from an industrial-looking retail shop to a comfortable, relaxing environment.

"We just wanted our students to enjoy the best Estes Park has to offer through downtown yoga," Teresa Latimer, yoga instructor, said.

Three kinds of yoga will be taught by several instructors at the studio. Hatha

yoga is a traditional approach to breathing exercises and postures. Vinyasa yoga incorporates a series of poses synchronized with breath techniques. Ashtanga yoga moves between poses more rapidly and is a bit more strenuous.

Instructors include Latimer, Leslie Glover, Caryn Ling, Mya Izzolena, and Erin Ayla.

At Estes Park Yoga, those who drop into a class can expect to receive instruction tailored to their level of ability. "We want this to be convenient, fun, accessible and open to everyone - locals and

tourists alike," said Harriette Woodard, owner of Estes Park Yoga. Woodard is a mortgage loan consultant for the Bank of Colorado (Estes Park).

Classes will be offered at 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Saturday; and, 10 a.m. on Sunday.

Each class is open to

everyone, at any level. Props such as blocks, yoga mats, blankets will be available for use during classes and the studio will have limited yogarelated items and clothing for sale.

Introductory rates are $10 for each class, which are all drop-in, or $90 for a 10-punch pass.

Each class lasts about 60-75 minutes long.

The studio is also available for private classes and

special events, including wedding party yoga sessions.

"Yoga is for everyone," said Latimer, and she believes everyone should do it.

"When you practice yoga regularly you are going to see improved flexibility, improved muscle tone, and a huge improvement in your core strength," Latimer said. Other benefits can include lowered blood pressure, less back pain, improvement with muscular-skeletal problems, improved sleep, and yoga can even help with asthma. " "It's a gift you give to yourself," Woodard said “ because every time you finish a class, you're just a little better."

Bob Johnson pauses to gather his thoughts before commenting. “I’m from an apolitical family. Dad came from Sweden in 1923 at age seventeen. He wasn’t drafted in World War II because he was a farmer.

Politics just weren’t part of the discussion at home when I was young….I’m a peacetime veteran; I served between Korea and Vietnam. My son graduated from West Point, and was almost shipped to Kuwait

Linda Hanak: “This is a little thing I can do to help bring consciousness of peace to people. We need more peace in the world.

There’s a war department but no peace department---it’s not in the national consciousness yet.”

“These are the times that try men's souls.

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman…The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

Freshly Remembered

By Robert Burkhardt Scenes of summer: new-born elk calves kicking up heels in the sanctuary, while wary moms stand guard; pelting rain and thunder rumbling across the Estes Valley, followed by delicate slow drops in grey mist; an almost invisible hummingbird home on a leafy branch, looking more knot than nest; seventeen turkey vultures preening wings on one power pylon near the causeway, while a lone eagle sits atop another.

Tomorrow we celebrate the 239th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Jefferson’s words continue to reverberate in our national consciousness as they inspire and posit moral imperatives: “We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.”

Every Wednesday at noon a small group of Americans, thoroughly attuned to “the voice of justice and consanguinity,” gathers in Bond Park to advocate for peace. For one-half hour, rain or shine, snow or wind, summer or winter, Patriots for Peace wave American flags, display signs and urge passing drivers to honk for peace. The group owes its start to Helen and Warren Donohue. In 2002 Helen advanced the idea of silent vigil to counter the rising tide of war. Warren, who was a pilot and POW in World War II, concurred. They joined

I love having that time to be reminded of my family and its history and their love for this country. It’s a way of thanking them and all veterans for their service. The people I meet in the Peace Group are wonderful—we have great discussions and I care deeply about them. I love learning more about peace and peaceful people—Gandhi, King, and others who see what needs to be done and they respond. I would love to live to see the day of universal peace in my lifetime---love in every heart.”

Randy Maharry: “I am a Vietnam veteran. I didn’t see any point to that war or other wars. It’s not the way to solve conflicts. It helps me to be there Wednesday because it allows me to voice my opposition to war in a way that is not offensive to most people. We are not a militant organization---we take the soft sell approach.

Jean Weaver and I are friends, so I started going. Advocating for peace is kind of like motherhood and apple pie, if people start to think about it.”

Estes Park recycling doyenne Jean Weaver, whose legendary life includes hitch-hiking in 1950 from Trenton, NJ, to Estes Park, speaks concisely: “I feel I’m doing something for peace.”

Individuals whose conscience impels them to publicly address critical issues strengthen America’s backbone. The Patriots For Peace in Bond Park speak to us and for us; they are essential to the moral fabric of this community. Their unequivocal ethical choice to stand each week in rain, snow, sunshine or wind deserves gratitude for raising citizen consciousness. They pose a question for those of us not there on Wednesdays: do we have half an hour for a cause greater than ourselves?

Positive Ecosystem Effects Following Reintroduction Of The Wolf: The Yellowstone Story Photo by Tom GootzŠ

A talk by Tom Gootz; YMCA of The Rockies, Hempel Auditorium on Monday, July 6, 2015, 5:30 p.m.

Much of the science behind wolf restoration, and on the effects on large ecosystems, is taken from the program at Yellowstone. Wolves were reintroduced there in 1995-1996, under protection of the ESA. Introduction of wolves at the time was controversial and has remained so. What is most amazing about the wolf restoration story is the controversy that has been created among scientists based on conflicting data explaining willow and aspen regeneration in the riparian regions of northern Yellowstone. Early data following reintroduction indicated that lower elk numbers, as well as the effects

of wolves on elk browsing behavior were both contributing to an amazing recovery of willow and aspen in the park.

Some scientists felt that the wolf was not only lowering elk numbers by direct predation, but equally were decreasing the browsing time that elk spent on their winter ranges. The role played by this indirect effect of wolves on elk behavior has become controversial and the story of the Yellowstone wolves is significantly changing as new data are collected. Tom will give an overview of observations documented in Yellowstone since reintroduction of the wolf. He recently visited Yellowstone and will provide us with the latest information on wolf recovery there.

“Trail Ridge Road: Highway To The Sky”

A presentation on the history of one of the most scenic wonders of the world Constructed from 1929 to 1932, and opened to tourists and drivers the following year, Trail Ridge Road earned immediate inclusion among the scenic wonders of the world. The new path through the Rocky Mountain National Park followed an ancient trail across Tombstone Ridge and offered visitors breathtaking views and a privileged glimpse at unique ecosystems. Today, Trail Ridge Road endures as a truly otherworldly place. It is the country's highest continuous paved road, peaking at over twelve thousand feet and running forty-eight miles. Join author Amy Law on Saturday, July 11 at 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. at the Estes Park Museum for a program that illustrates the history of Colorado's most famous byway.

Also, what was it like for the workers who built Trail Ridge Road? The program will include a presentation by Allan

Estes Park United Campaign Kicks Off Volunteer-led fundraising effort focused on helping local children succeed The 7th 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 $20,000 by September 30, 2015 to invest in local nonprofit programs focused on helping local children succeed in school and life.

The recipient organizations were selected 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.

“Investing in our own community is a nobrainer, especially when it comes to our kids. By doing so, we are also giving them the future opportunity to do the same,” shared Amy Hamrick, new this year to the Estes Park United volunteer committee.

Donations to Estes Park United will be invested in four local nonprofits: Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS), Estes Park Kids Café, The Estes Park Learning Place, and Partners Mentoring Youth.

“Donations will provide critical support to children and families who need it most,” said Nancy Almond, Director of Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success, one of the nonprofits benefiting from the Estes

Park United campaign. “When we invest in children in Estes Park, we are ensuring a brighter future for all of us.”

Several special events are planned as part of this year’s Estes Park United campaign, including: • A Mayoral Proclamation on Tuesday, July 28 at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Council Meeting.

• Estes Park United Dairy Queen Day for Youth on Thursday, August 27. Enjoy a sweet treat Dairy Queen in downtown Estes Park, with all sales donated to Estes Park United.

• Estes Park United Restaurant Week from Monday, September 14 through Sunday, September 20. Restaurants all across town will donate a portion of their sales to the campaign. Participating restaurants and other businesses to be announced.

“We truly see this as an investment in the future of Estes Park,” said Chuck Levine, Estes Park United steering committee member. “Through the early intervention and support activities of our local nonprofits, we can take steps to ensure that our children grow up to be contributing members of our community.”

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

“Mountaineering For The Regular Guy” Presentation At The Baldpate Inn

Join in at The Baldpate Inn on July 8th at 7:00 p.m. for, “Mountaineering for the Regular Guy,” presented by mountaineering expert, Brad Martin.

Brad Martin moved from Iowa to Estes Park after college in 1989. Once he had climbed all the mountains he could in Iowa, he opted for a more challenging terrain. During his beginning years at Estes Park he worked at the Baldpate Inn. Any off time that he had he used to truly begin his mountaineering career.

That first summer was filled with many mountain hikes, including his first Longs Peak ascent and a ridiculous but life changing introduction to technical rock climbing by some fellow Iowans.

Since that fateful summer, Brad has married, bought a home in Allenspark and had two great kids. He later became a school teacher, climbed up and skied

down mountains throughout the western U.S, and has taken climbing trips to Alaska, Mexico and Europe. His wife Reneé and children, Lily and Finnian, put up with his occasional gloating.

They know, like he does, that the mountains he loves will never make him famous, but they sure do matter.

As a sport, mountaineering started off as attempts to reach the highest unclimbed points of large mountains.

Since then, the sport or hobby has broken off into three different categories; rock-craft, snow-craft, and skiing. Required skill level varies based on terrain, altitude, and season. Whether you are a veteran mountaineer or just an interested citizen you can learn the tricks of the trade and maybe plan to conquer a mountain on your own!

This free information session is part of the Baldpate’s Summer Enchanted Evenings series that runs from June through September. Their Wednesday evening series is part history, part natural history, and part show & tell. Topics will range from history to hiking.

Check out the website at BaldpateInn.com or call them at 970586-6151 for further information and for other Summer Enchanted Evening events. You are also invited to make reservations for dinner to enjoy homemade soup and salad buffet before the programs begin!

Creating A Paper Trail For Your Heirs

If you were to die unexpectedly tomorrow, could your loved ones easily find the necessary information to take care of things, identify all your assets, distribute them, and close your estate? A few hours of your time today could save your heirs hours of time in the future, not to mention thousands of dollars of court costs and lawyer’s fees and many nights of lost sleep.

That’s the topic of a free public seminar to be presented by Common Cents Counts at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street, on Monday, July 13 at 1:00 pm. No registration is needed.

Come hear Marsha Yelick, Financial Programs Consultant for the Common Cents Counts Library grant, discuss the items that you should consider including in your Master List Notebook. No matter how complicated or simple your estate, the basic notebook of simple instructions is the gift your heirs will appreciate the most. The good news is - it doesn’t take that long to create!

The discussion will center on creating the paper trail. Sounds a little outdated in our modern digital age, but experts are still recommending you begin with something that is easy to preserve, identify, open, and transport, aka, a simple notebook. We will discuss how that notebook may interface with computer documents. We’ll also consider techniques you can use to take the notebook information and provide it electronically to those who might need it.

The seminar will concentrate on approximately ten to twenty items for you to consider including in your Master List Notebook. Each item will be discussed and there will be hints on how to easily find the information and present it in a simple format. The seminar will provide each participant with checklists and prototypes to consider adapting for personal situations.

In addition to the Master List, the seminar will cover a few other “updating tasks” you might consider as you get your house in order. These are tasks that take a bit longer, but they’re probably also worth the effort. The bottom line is what you can do today to simplify your estate will be of great value to those you love. Plan to spend just one hour thinking about how you can pass on this gift to your heirs.

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.

ABOUT THOSE ‘ESSENTIAL FREEDOMS’ Several years ago my wife and I visited the studio of Norman Rockwell. What we wanted to see most and enjoyed contemplating while there were his depictions of ‘Four Freedoms’ that President Franklin Roosevelt had promoted during his State of the Union Address on January 20. 1941. When Roosevelt’s Address failed to generate the financial income he had hoped for, Rockwell painted these illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post magazine to see if that might help. The response was overwhelming. War bonds were purchased in record numbers. The President was thrilled and the nation’s war effort welcomed the tremendous response that resulted from these works by Rockwell.

The ‘Four Freedoms’ desired, as stated by President Roosevelt were these: “The first is the freedom of speech and expression—anywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—anywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want—which means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy, peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear—which, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.”

I suspect that you, like I do, admire a president who so boldly shared such great goals, not only for this nation, but for the ‘anywhere in the world’ peoples. And I so admire an artist like Norman Rockwell who could depict in such a moving way, what probably are the desires of most Americans and many peoples throughout the world.

However, when it comes down to it, as we ponder our upcoming Fourth of July celebrations, we realize how far our nation and the world is from achieving those ‘freedoms’ that Roosevelt felt were ‘essential’ to man’s happiness. Think about it! ‘Freedom of speech and expression’. We live at a time when we constantly have to refrain from saying anything that might be construed as ‘racist’ or ‘sexist’ or ‘bigoted’ or… When it comes to ‘Freedom to worship God in our own way’, we know about persecution being directed at people who believe and promote the teachings of Jesus, while in other places, persecution is being directed toward people who honor and serve leaders of other religions. And who would believe that there is no place in our world where people are experiencing ongoing ‘want’ as they try to scrounge up enough to even survive on, let alone thrive on? When it comes to the ‘Freedom of fear’, we live in a nation that is constantly on edge about the possibility of being attacked in one way or another. As long as we have theatre and school killings, random highway shootings, and other acts of senseless violence, there will be no freedom from fear, despite all our efforts to limit the number of guns or other weapons ‘out there’.

However, while we have a long way to go to achieve these ‘Four Essential Freedoms’, we are blessed to live in a country where a former president would promote those ideals and where many would volunteer to fight, and even die, for us to enjoy those and other freedoms. For that reason I am glad that this Saturday we will shoot fireworks and listen to patriotic music that reminds us how blessed we are to live in our nation and pray that all of us will try our best to cultivate and respect those ‘freedoms’ in our own lives and seek to promote them among others. “I’m proud to be an American!” Aren’t you? Show it this weekend at our or your celebration.

“Scams For The 21st Century” Program At The Senior Center July 8 about phone and email scams, wire transfers and Western Union and solicitors. He will also share information about the latest scams that target older citizens, including one where scammers pretend to be the Internal Revenue Society.

According to the National Council on Aging, “Financial scams targeting seniors have become so prevalent that they’re now considered ‘the crime of the 21st century.’ Financial scams often go unreported or can be difficult to prosecute, so they’re considered a “low-risk” crime. However, they’re devastating to many older adults and can leave them in a very vulnerable position with little time to recoup their losses.”

Rock On! 85 Year Old Climber Shares His Story

The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division is collaborating with the University of Colorado Health’s Aspen Club to bring an inspirational program to Estes Park in July. The program, called Rock On! – will be presented on Tuesday, July 14 from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. at the Estes Park Museum meeting room, 200 Fourth Street. No registration is needed for this free program.

Meet Loveland resident Robert Kelman.

He is an 85 year old gentleman whose passion has been technical rock climbing for the past 44 years. He states that at his age, he is thankful every time he can get another climb in - it’s just part of who he is. His family knows this is his passion and what drives him, and although they often worry, they have learned to accept that he’s going to do it, one way or the other! In 1994, he started a publishing

company called Heel and Toe Publishers, which releases outdoor guides. Robert was born with a defective heart valve at birth, and in 1997, he had a valve replacement. And just recently (in May of this year!) he underwent a revision to his original surgery from 18 years ago. This may slow him down for the remainder of this year, but Robert’s goal is to be back climbing the mountains by 2016. Come and be inspired by his motivation, climbing adventures, staying healthy and more.

At the end of the program, Estes Park Museum’s Education Coordinator Alicia Mittelman will provide a free tour of the Museum’s current special exhibit, “Climb On” featuring the climbing history of the Estes Park area.

The Aspen Club was established in 1989 to provide a wide range of health education, screenings, hospital discounts and social opportunities to residents in Larimer County. For more information on the Aspen Club, please visit their website at www.pvhs.org or call (970) 495-8560 in Fort Collins or (970) 6241860 in Loveland.

Stuffed animals, or more specifically teddy bears, have long provided security to both children and children at heart. Estes Park Medical Center hosted its first Teddy Bear Clinic on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at Estes Park Medical Center.

Children attending the event received a free “Build-A-Bear” and a goody bag as they moved through the designated stations set up for this free, fun and interactive clinic.

tient and picked up their teddy bear for the clinic. Each child moved through stations where their teddy bear was checked over to see whether they needed stitches, a shot, bandage, or an x-ray.

Each bear was weighed, measured, and their blood pressure taken. At the end, each furry friend received a certificate of good health to take home.

EPMC’s dietary department provided snacks and tips on making healthy food choices.

Teddy Bear Clinic was a free event open to children ages

three through 10 years of age, and was sponsored by Estes Park Medical Center and Families for Estes. Hopefully each furry patient and their young parent now think of a trip to the hospital as a “bearable” event.

The clinic is designed to familiarize children with the hospital, clinics, and medical equipment by treating teddy bears through a series of screenings that allow health care workers to provide a teddy bear checkup. The clinic teaches children that doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals are here to help them feel better. Stations were set up and children were registered just like a pa-

World Champion All-Around Cowboy Coming To Estes Trevor Brazile to compete in Rooftop Rodeo!

Because the Rooftop Rodeo has won so many national awards in the last decade, it is recognized as one of the best rodeos in America. One look at the roster of competitors for this year’s rodeo tells a lot about the Rooftop. Leading the roster is the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) all-around champion Trevor Brazile from Decatur Texas. Last year at the PRCA National Finals Rodeo, the Super Bowl of rodeos, Trevor extended his record total of World Championships to 21 with his 5th steer roping gold buckle and a record of 12 allaround titles (record, nine in a row).

He also became the first man in rodeo history to reach more than $100,000 in three separate events (Tie down roping, team roping, and steer roping) in of this year’s the same season. He extended his Rooftop Rodeo record total of “round” wins in the Nacompetitors, contional Finals Rodeo competition to 60. sider the fact that Since joining the PRCA Trevor has Trevor Brazile’s won over $5.6 million dollars.

munity but there is nothing small about the Rooftop Rodeo.

One may ask “Has the Rooftop always had such a deep list of championship competitors? “According to Mark Purdy, Chairman of Estes Park Western Heritage, Inc., the group that helps the Town produce the rodeo, “The quality of competitors across all seven events has improved dramatically this year. There are many reasons for this but the three that are most obvious art the fact that we changed from a traditional Tuesday start to a Monday start with a break mid week.

This allows for more competitors to fit the Rooftop into their travel schedules. A second reason is that we increased our added money in the Bareback and Saddle

Bronc events. The number of competitors in these events is small and with the large number of rodeos available, the competitors go to where they are likely to win the most money. A third reason is that we have a new rodeo contractor this year. The owners of the Cervi Championship Rodeo Company are well know and highly respected in the professional rodeo world.

They produce some of the biggest rodeos in America and have a great following of competitors.”

This is one event you do not want to miss. Check the Rooftop Rodeo webpage www.rooftoprodeo.com for the rodeo schedule. Rodeo week starts Monday, July 6 at 10:30 with the rodeo parade.

New Format For Mutton Bustin’ At The Rooftop Rodeo Mutton Bustin' is one of the Rooftop Rodeo’s most popular events and offers

youngsters between the ages of five and eight a chance to begin their own riproaring rodeo careers.

Each rodeo evening, helmeted cowpokes have an opportunity to ride a “wooly bully” inside the rodeo arena. Here's how it works: With a sheep readied in the “chute,” a child is set on its back - arms wrapped tightly around the neck.

When the chute gate opens, out comes the sheep and rider. The small cowboy/cowgirl will hold on and ride the sheep for as long as they can! Whether it's a one second or ten second ride, these youngsters are in for a wild, exciting and memorable time. What fun!

Beginning this year there is a new format for Mutton Bustin’!

Starting at 4:30 on July

6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12, thirty cowboys/cowgirls will be competing for 10 slots that will advance to the evening performance. For these afternoon con-

tests, 15 of the 30 contestants can be preregistered. Up to another 15 contestants will be selected on a first come first serve basis beginning at 3:30.

From this preshow contest, ten (10) contestants will move on to the evening performance during the rodeo. The registration fee will be $10.

The popular Mutton Bustin’ event occurs each night of the rodeo, July 6, 7, 8, 10,

11 and 12, 2015 and occurs as the 5th event, immediately following the Saddle Bronc riding. To be eligible, contestants must be 5-8 years old and weigh less than 55 lbs. on the date of the event.

Artist In Residence Programs Continue At Rocky Mountain National Park With Percussionist Cory Hills Storyteller, musician and performing artist Cory Hills of Thousand Oaks, California will continue to highlight this year’s Art in the Park Program at Rocky Mountain National Park with presentations held Wednesdays, July 1 and July 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center.

Cory Hills is an active percussionist in the Los Angeles music scene, known for actively performing and championing new music and for making this music accessible to all ages. With degrees from Northwestern University, Queensland Conservatorium and the University of Kansas, and with an award-winning children’s album (The Lost Bicycle) under his belt, Hills is equally comfortable in a concert hall or school gymnasium.

Hills is the creator of “Percussive Storytelling,” a program he performs that fuses unique percussion instrument sounds with oral storytelling, creating exciting sonic worlds for both children and adults.

Since 2009, Hills has presented Percussive Storytelling over 350 times to more than 32,000 children in eight countries. The Lost Bicycle, his debut solo CD of percussive stories, was released in the spring of 2010 and received four national awards, including a gold medal from the National Parenting Publication Awards (NAPPA), a silver medal from the Parent’s Choice Awards, a Preferred Choice from the Creative Child Awards, and World Storytelling honors. In addition, NAPPA named The Lost Bicycle one of the top 13 children’s products for 2010.

Six artists were selected for the summer 2015 Artist-in-Residence Program at Rocky Mountain National Park. Artists are provided with a creative, contemplative environment in which to generate artistic works and share their works with the public. During their stay at the park, artists share their vision in two public presentations.

Artistic diversity, new ideas and creative uses of media were encouraged in the application process. Artists are given two-week residencies at the William Allen White cabin from June through September. For a specific schedule and to learn more about these artists go to: www.nps.gov/romo/getinvolved/supportyourpark/meet-our-2015-artists-inresidences.htm Artists have had a long-standing impact on the formation, expansion and direction of our country’s national parks. Musicians, composers, painters, writers, sculptors and other performing artists also draw upon the multifaceted quality of parks for inspiration. All of these artists translate the national park’s purpose, as a place of pleasure and preservation, into images which bring others enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the parks some may never visit. Rocky Mountain National Park’s Artist-InResidence program provides artists the opportunity to become a part of a long established tradition of artists in our national parks.

“Women Homesteading The West” Book Signing For Author Marcia Hensley Colorado author Marcia Hensley will be at Macdonald Book Shop in Estes Park on Friday, July 10th from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. to discuss and sign her book, Staking Her Claim: Women Homesteading the West. The book tells the stories of single women who seized the opportunity to own land at a time when it was nearly unheard of for women to do so. Historians estimate that In Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and the Dakotas in the early 1900s, 12% of homesteaders were single women and they were just as likely to succeed as men and families.

A number of those single women homesteaded near Estes Park in the early 1900s. In fact, Enos Mills, founder of Rocky Mountain National Park married one of them, Esther Burnell. Esther’s

friend and fellow homesteader, Katherine Garetson, proved up on land close to Longs Peak Inn. Her remarkable story is one of the many never-before told stories of women who homesteaded alone on the western frontier included in Hensley’s book. To help fund her homestead, the gutsy Katherine opened a tea shop along a trail to Longs Peak Inn where she offered sandwiches and beverages to hikers.

In addition to Staking Her Claim, author, Marcia Hensley has been published in High Country News, Writers on the Range and various anthologies of western essays, most recently Ankle High and Knee Deep: Women Reflect on Western Rural Life. In 2004, Hensley won the Wyoming Art’s Council Neltj Blanchan Award for writing inspired by nature.

Centennial Science Behind The Scenery Programs Continue At Rocky Mountain National Park Numerous scientists will be presenting as part of the Centennial Science Behind The Scenery Programs at Rocky Mountain National Park. This series of programs highlights scientific activity and learning in the park. Each week a different scientist conducting research in the park will share their experiences and discoveries. The programs will be held on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and are free and open to the public.

On Thursday, July 2, at 7:30 p.m. join Brittany Mosher as she discusses A Tale Of Toads In Rocky Mountain National Park. Worldwide, over 40 percent of amphibian species are in decline. Declines are related to a variety of factors including habitat destruction and disease. Amphibians in Rocky Mountain National Park have not been immune to these problems. Of the five species of amphibians historically present in the park, two, including the boreal toad, have suffered severe declines. Once common throughout high elevation areas in Colorado, the boreal toad is currently endangered in the state of Colorado and is being considered for federal listing as a threatened or endangered species.

In this look “behind the scenes,” Brittany will share recent research findings

on the effects of disease and introduced species on boreal toad populations. She has a Master’s of Science degree in Fish and Wildlife Management from Montana State University, and is currently a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University.

Next Thursday, July 9, at 7:30 p.m. join Ben Lawhon who is the Education Director of Leave No Trace, Center for Outdoor Ethics. Leave No Trace is the most prevalent minimum-impact visitor education program in use in parks and protected areas in the U.S. The intent of the program is to teach people of all ages how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly.

Everyone benefits when we practice Leave No Trace ethics. It is important to share how those practices are effective at reducing impacts. This study examined variables thought to influence future Leave No Trace behavior in park visitors. Results of the study indicate that educational efforts make a difference to minimize impacts.

Molly B Restaurant Under New Ownership

Wu-Lin, Wu-Hsiun and Jennifer Allred are the new owners of Molly B Restaurant.

The new owners were pleased to take ownership of this well-known restaurant on June 20, 2015. Molly B has been a successful and popular eatery in Estes Park for over twenty years.

The new owners have all been in the restaurant business for ten years here in the Estes Valley so they know what it takes to run a successful business here.

They strive to please locals and guests alike and are excited to announce they’ve added some tasty new entrees to their new menu as well as adding a new Sen-

ior Menu. Their new menu changes will offer something for everyone to enjoy with a nice variety of foods.

Jennifer said, “Our goal is to provide prompt and friendly customer service and serve delicious food. We have a few church groups that frequent Molly B’s as well as other businesses who join us on a regular basis. We want to be a fun, friendly restaurant where locals love to gather to socialize and enjoy a great meal!”

Stop in at the new Molly B Restaurant at 200 Moraine Ave. and welcome the new owners. For more information, you can give them a call at 970-586-2766.

Musk Thistle • Large (1 to 2½ inch diameter) magenta or maroon flower at each stem end • Flower heads often nod • Each flower base is surrounded by large sharp-pointed bracts • Biennial has a 1st year rosette of spiny leaves with light-colored mid-vein • 2nd year produces a tall flowering stalk (up to 6’ tall) • Spines and wings on stems and spines on leaf margins Why should you be concerned about it?

Musk Thistle is spreading quickly into the Estes area. Plants can form big patches. Seeds remain in the soil for 10 years to produce many future plants. Musk Thistle grows in Estes Park north of the Masonic Lodge on S. St. Vrain Road. Scientists call Musk Thistle Carduus nutans. Please leave the native Wavy-Leaf Thistle (Cirsium undulatum) for pollinators and a healthy plant community; it’s flowers are lighter in color (white to lavender) and leaves are paler with undersides often woolly.

PREVENTION Cut and bag flowers, then dig or pull up the plant to prevent re-flowering. Basal rosettes of leaves can be removed and left to dry out. Put flowering weeds in paper lawn bags. Leave weed bags for FREE disposal on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8-3 at 666 Elm Street, up the road from the Recycle/Transfer Station.

If you mow, please use an attached mower bag to collect and dispose of clippings so that weeds aren’t spread.

Good Sam Garage Sale Seeks Donations

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

Review, Reduce and then Recycle Submitted by: Jana Larsen, League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee

Recycling is not exactly first in line in the waste reduction hierarchy. In Bodee fact, it comes third. To make a difference to the environment, first look towards reduced consumption, as it is actually the first and most effective step toward producing less waste. Reuse as much as possible before recycling so that the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again. Better yet, buy products that are made of recycled materials. And make sure you recycle the items when you don’t need them anymore. Remember to look for the recycling symbol on your products that tell you that they are made of recycled materials or are designed for recycling. These practices count!

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

It is time once again for the Annual Good Sam Big Garage Sale. Every July the Good Samaritan Society – Estes Park Village welcomes the public into its garage for a huge benefit garage sale. In the past few years they have donated the proceeds to the victims of the Woodland Heights Fire, the American Legion Post 119 and the Community Corner Café.

This year the garage sale volunteers have decided to donate the monies raised to the Honor Flight Northern Colorado via the Estes Park Honor Flight Committee.

This committee was formed in 2010 after several Estes Valley WWII Veterans were flown to Washington D.C. to view the memorial built in their honor. Each

Veteran flies for free to the U.S. Capital. It costs $1,000 for each Veteran to attend the two day trip and the flights are funded 100% by individual and corporate donations. The EPHF Committee is dedicated to making sure our community pays the way for each of our Estes Valley Veterans. To date, 67 Veterans from the Estes Valley have attended the Honor Flight, and the committee has managed to raise over $80,000. They would like to raise another $20,000 to be sure they send every Veteran who wants to attend.

Estes Park Good Sam would like to contribute to this great cause since 14 of their residents have flown on the Honor Flight so far.

If you have items to donate for the sale you may drop them off at the Good Sam Garage on Wednesday, July 8th between the hours of 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Please, no electronics, clothing or books. The sale this year will be on Saturday, July 11th from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Join Us For The Estes Park Relay For Life In Bond Park This Year At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too many lives. The funds you raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!

Come and participate in the this year’s Estes Park Relay for Life on Saturday July 18th in Bond Park from noon until midnight. Relay for Life is celebrating its 30th birthday and we are planning a birthday party atmosphere.

There will be a face painter, a magician, a small petting zoo, a dunk tank (got some candidates in mind?), a bouncy house, music and free food including birthday cake. One of the meaningful events at the Relay is the Luminaria ceremony at dusk that recognizes those who have suffered from cancer.

Many relay teams pitch a tent and camp out (although not required) and take turns walking or running around the area depicted below. The Relay area will be along MacGregor Ave. and the bus

parking area on Elkhorn Ave in front of the administration building. This years Relay events will be 12 hours in length and, because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the walking area at all times.

Campers who wish to put up tents for the short night will be allowed to set up their tents (no stakes allowed) in Bond Park at designated locations. Because of the limited parking downtown, there will be a free shuttle bus to carry participants from the parking area at the fairgrounds to and from Bond Park.

Whether you’ve experienced cancer as a survivor or through the struggle of a loved one, there's a place for you at the Estes Park Relay For Life event. You may join an existing team or start your own.

Sign up at www.estesparkrelay.org or call Megan Clarkson the ACS representative at 970-350-5018. We hope you’ll join us for another unforgettable event where we’ll come together to celebrate, remember, and fight back!

The Estes Valley Quilt Guild Meeting July 8 The Estes Valley Quilt Guild meets monthly on the second Wednesday. This month, July 8th, our speaker will be Lea McComas. Her program is entitled “Making Faces,” portrait quilts.

She will have a PowerPoint presentation and trunk show. Lea will share information about principles of composition, the geometry of faces, and how value, color and temperature work together to create

Page 39

realistic pictorial quilts, as well as a brief overview of her techniques for fused applique and thread painting.

Lea says, “Working with fabric and thread, I strive to create representational works that dare the viewer to stop and ponder before traveling on; works that call one back with strange familiarity; works that connect past to the present.”

The Guild meets at Good Samaritan Village, 1901 Ptarmigan Trail. The business meeting begins at 6:45 p.m. However, you can feel free to come at 6:30 p.m. to visit with friends. The Guild is always glad to have visitors join us. We do ask for a $10 donation to help cover the costs incurred for speakers. For information call Ruth Turner 988-1709.

Presbyterian Community Church Of The Rockies Calls A New Pastor The Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies celebrates the calling of The Reverend Michael Alec Moore to the position of Pastor of the church.

At the recommendation of the Pastor Search Committee after an extensive Mission study and evaluating of some ninety resumes, the congregation overwhelming voted to call Reverend Moore.

He will begin his ministry here on August 24, 2015.

Michael is a graduate of United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities in MN where he served two congregations after ordination in 1987. He felt called to military service and served as a Presbyterian chaplain for 21 years in Texas, Nevada, North Dakota, Florida, England, and Afghanistan. After retiring from the

military he accepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church of DeFuniak Springs, FL where he has been pastor for four years.

He is accompanied by his wife, Denise.

They have three grown sons. They share a passion for Christ and work together as a team. It was with the presence and guidance of God’s spirit that we selected Michael Moore to be our new pastor.

Reverend Moore stated in his resume, “I believe that God is calling me to be a witness of healing and reconciling love to all of God’s children!”

Rev. Dr. Larry Corbett, our present interim pastor, has accepted a call to become the interim pastor of a church in Sedona, AZ. His last Sunday with our congregation will be July 12, 2015. A farewell reception will be held at 11:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies extends an invitation to all to join our community as we bid goodbye to our well-loved interim pastor, Rev. Corbett on July 12, and to welcome our new pastor on August 30, 2015.

Worship Services at 8 and 10 a.m.

Estes Park Western Heritage is proud to host the Professional Bull Riding Pro Touring Division, bringing you the toughest bull riders in the world and the best bulls anywhere. The Stanley Park Fairgrounds, home of the award-winning Rooftop Rodeo is the scenic, high-altitude setting for an event that promises to be action-packed and exciting....8 seconds at a time. Each night of Professional Bull Riding includes four separate rounds of ten bucking bulls, with top PBR cowboys hoping to hang on for the toughest ride in all of sports.

The PBR venue offers a ring-side view of the action, with an "arena-within-thearena" constructed directly in front of the grand stands.

When the bucking chutes open you can almost feel the ride! For those who desire an eye-ball to eye-ball experience, "VIP in the Dirt" seating on the arena's west side brings you so close to the action you might want a seat belt! Get tough...the cowboy way...and purchase one of these limited VIP tickets. A beverage tent on the arena floor will accommodate all guests.

Baank of Estes Park

By: Derald DeYoung

The Colorado Music Festival Orchestra from Boulder will perform three concerts this summer in Estes Park under the sponsorship of the Estes Park Music Festival. This is the 39th season for the Colorado Music Festival and also the 39th season that they have been coming to Estes Park for summer concerts.

This summer these concerts will be presented on Monday evenings at 7:30 p.m. on July 20, July 27 and August 3 at the Stanley Hotel Concert Hall. All concerts will be conducted by Jean-Marie Zeitouni, the new music director of the Festival.

What will you hear at these concerts?

The music will be accessible and varied with just a bit of spice in two of the concerts to hold your attention. The composers we will hear this summer are, for the most part, familiar names in classical music: Mozart, Haydn, Bach, Vivaldiand Mendelssohn. Less familiar names may be Vaughan Williams, an early 20th century English composer, Rameau, a French composer from the early Baroque period and finally Charles Ives, the early 20th century quintessential American composer from Danbury, Connecticut.

Each of the three concerts has a theme.

The first concert on July 20 is part of the Colorado Music Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cellobration.â&#x20AC;?

This is a four part series of concerts featuring six solo cellists playing a wide variety of the cello repertoire. We will hear the fourth concert in this series when Colorado native, Julie Albers, plays the Haydn Cello Concerto No. 2. This first concert is completely classical and baroque with Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Overture to Marriage of Figaro and Symphony No. 31 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parisâ&#x20AC;? plus the J S Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 3.

The second concert on July 27 is titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sounds of the Mediterraneanâ&#x20AC;? and will

feature two Spanish composers: Benet Casablancas, a late 20th century composer and Joaquin Rodrigo from the early 20th century. Rodrigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concierto de Aranjuez,â&#x20AC;? a piece for solo guitar and orchestra, will be played by guest Croatian guitar virtuoso Ana Vidovic. The second half of this program will again feature Vidovic playing Italian composer Antonio Vivaldiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guitar Concerto in D major. In conclusion, Mendelssohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Italianâ&#x20AC;? Symphony will be performed.

The final concert on August 3, entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tableauxâ&#x20AC;? will feature the beloved concert master of the orchestra, Calin Lupanu, playing Vaughan Williams enchanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lark Ascending.â&#x20AC;? Two shorter symphonies will also be performed: Haydnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Symphony No. 73, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Huntâ&#x20AC;? and Charles Ivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Symphony No 3 which won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1947. It is subtitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Camp Meeting,â&#x20AC;? its three short movements being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Old Folks Gatherin,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communion.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This is nostalgic American music evocative of early 20th century New England. Ives, the millionaire insurance executive, wrote his music on the weekend, stored it in his New England barn and was largely ignored until he was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rediscoveredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the 1940s. His music influenced a whole generation of American 20th century composers.

Indian Peaks Wilderness Calls Anglers Local anglers are blessed with some of the best fly fishing in the region in Rocky Mountain National Park, so it’s easy for them to overlook the excellent—and often less crowded—fishing opportunities just to the south in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area.

Now Steve Schweitzer and co-author Mike Kruise have opened the curtain on this often overlooked area in their new book, A Fly Fishing Guide to Colorado’s Indian Peaks Wilderness Area.

Schweitzer and Kruise will present a detailed overview to Alpine Anglers and guests at their July meeting.

The book is based on the same bootson-the ground research that made Schweitzer’s earlier book, A Fly Fishing Guide to Rocky Mountain National Park, an essential handbook for many local fly casters. It details more than 100

destinations—all a short drive from Rocky Mountain National Park—and includes detailed trail profiles and fishing tips from the experts.

Steve Schweitzer has written for a number of newspapers and periodicals including “The Wall Street Journal” and “Fly Fisherman Magazine.”

He currently is contributing editor to “Angling Trade Magazine” and column writer for Southwest, Eastern, and Northwest Fly Fishing Magazines. Mike Kruise owns Laughing Grizzly Fly Shop in Longmont and has been a professional fly-fishing guide and instructor for more than eight years.

The meeting is Wednesday, July 8 at 7:00 p.m. at the Rocky Mountain Conservancy at 1895 Fall River Road in Estes Park, and the public is invited.

Response To Board Of REALTORS® To The Editor: In response to the Estes Park Board of Realtors June 15 Letter to the Editor regarding it’s opposition to the FLAP street realignment project, I strongly disagree with the basic premise of the argument presented. Although the Estes Board of Realtors organization has every right to have a voice in political issues effecting our community, which I have encouraged since the 1980s, to utilize the Realtor Code of Ethics as the basis for its political position is a mischaracterization of the purpose the Code and therefore a misuse of the very important set of principles that guide the day to day business activities of Realtors throughout the United States.

As a current, licensed Colorado Real Estate broker for more than 44 years, a Realtor for over 38 years in 3 different local Realtor organizations and one of the first members of the Estes Park Board of Realtors who has served as an officer and Director multiple times, I believe it is my obligation to point out to local Realtors and to the community at large the flawed premise presented in the June 15 letter.

The purpose of the Realtor Code of Ethics, which the ‘Pledge’ cited comes from, is to guide the day to day business activities between Realtor and client or customer in the buying and selling of real estate, and in the daily interaction between fellow Realtors. The key words here are ‘...day to day business activi-

ties...’. The intent of this Code of Ethics is to help protect the public interest in business-oriented activities and to provide the necessary guidelines to assist Realtors in working together in an ethical manner.

I therefore have two basic issues with the June 15 letter from the Estes Park Board of Realtors. First, it has taken parts of the Pledge (that is, part of the Realtors’ Code of Ethics), out of the clearly-intended context to fit a specific political agenda that has nothing to do with how Realtors work with buyers and sellers of real estate. Or how Realtors work between themselves. To do this confuses the public and, sadly, only serves to undermine the profession.

Secondly, this memo insinuates that if you are an active Realtor, and disagree with the position of the Directors on supporting the street realignment proposed by the FLAP initiative, you have somehow violated the basic standards of the profession. This is a preposterous and indefensible suggestion.

In closing, as a seasoned, veteran real estate broker and as a Realtor of many years it is my professional opinion that the Estes Park Board Realtors Directors received inappropriate direction and guidance in authoring its letter to the public. I further submit that my position is valid no matter which side of issue Realtors choose to take on FLAP. Greg Rosener Estes Park, Colorado

The Loop And Other Options Dear Editor, I am not one to usually give my opinion especially in the public eye, however, I have to wonder about the Loop and why more people seem to oppose it than support it. I, by no means, am an expert in traffic control, however I feel after 20 plus years living in the Estes Valley, I am an expert to where the traffic issues are.

And I am not sure the Loop is going to cover them all and this is why. I think everyone agrees there needs to be something done to manage traffic into town and parking. In my opinion, traffic needs to be controlled at the source and not the center of it. It seems to make more sense to slow traffic coming into town then to speed everyone through and still have congestion. To disrupt the permanent flow for a three month issue, should be thought out thoroughly. Has it been considered to rent or buy a couple traffic control red light/ green light interval signals (not official stoplights) but to temporarily place heading into town on the busiest entrances to Estes Park, Hwy 34, 36 and heading in from 36 from Smokin' Daves, for a few months? Obviously you would have to experiment on the timing and placement of them. These should be activated at timed intervals allowing only a handful of cars through at a time and at heavily congested times. This frees up left turns out of the Mcdonalds/Taco Bell parking areas which get congested due to no break in traffic from people coming into town on 34. People have a very difficult time turning left out of the Visitor Center and golf course as well, due to no break in traffic. Turning left at the Donut Shop and left into the post office parking area bypass with no break in traffic from downtown, holds up stoplight traffic, merging traffic and ultimately backs everyone up in town, stopping the flow.

The whole issue is no break up of a continuous stream of cars into town from three sides to allow turns and break up congestion in and out of town. The other major traffic flow issue is no center turn

lane from the Donut Shop to Mary's Lake Rd. People trying to turn left into Coffee on the Rocks or Smokin Daves hold up amazing amounts of traffic downtown.

Plus there is no sidewalk to allow people the option of safely walking in from any of those businesses. If you give cars a way to make turns without holding up miles of traffic, that will keep the flow much better. Lastly, The Safeway stoplight is timed poorly for turning left to go down 36 from 34. It only allows 4-5 cars through at a time always creating a huge jam where no one can turn or go anywhere, its a hazard, I know I am not the only one who notices this. Its seems such a simple solution, Add 20-30 seconds to that left hand turn light and watch the jumble and hazard go away..... To me, changing the permanent flow to a oneway makes no sense when traffic is only heavy 3 months a year and mostly on weekends. It seems the grant money would be better spent temporarily controlling incoming traffic with interval lights ,to allow the stoplights and traffic downtown to catch up, as well as giving people a break in traffic to make turns ( it works on heavily congested highways).

Improve the crosswalks on Hwy. 7 to a flashing light crosswalk system so that people see pedestrians crossing five lanes of traffic. Right now they are ineffective, unsafe and a hazard. Bike Lanes should be standard in a town like ours which promotes healthy outdoor lifestyles. A long needed center turn lane and sidewalk from the Donut Shop to Mary's Lake Rd would make it easier for people to turn,walk, and ride their bikes. If the only option is to spin around downtown, it will always be congested by people trying to park downtown as a limited option.There is lots of parking at all those shops heading out 36 towards Mary's Lake Rd. Why back it up downtown, keep it controlled coming in. This is just a thought in my humble, inexperienced mind. Thank you for listening.

Regarding Board Of REALTORS® Letter To The Editor: A note of Thanks to Eric Blackhurst for his letter of June 19th in the EP News. It was not published in the Trail Gazette until the June 28th issue, for whatever reason. I find it interesting two members of the Trail’s Editorial Board had rebuttals in that same issue.

Eric, an active long time established Realtor who services perhaps more commercial properties than any other Realtor in the local Board of Realtors, stated to me that all businesses in the main corridor of the Downtown corridor are pretty much in limbo. With the “loop” they will be cut out of their main advertising – traffic driving by their store fronts. (Visitors tell business owners, “Looking at the store fronts is one of my

favorite things when driving down the main street.”

Realtors believe other solutions to the traffic problem could be put in place without the “loop,” including additional out-lying parking and better signage to route visitors more directly to the National Park, if this is where they want to go. One can already see the difference at the 36/34 intersection.

A footnote: Estes Park is almost 100 years old! It is unique and has character that no other Front Range community offers. Many visitors tell us regularly – “… is the neatest place!...we love coming here as often as we can.” Knowing what to expect, it proves not everyone hates the traffic!

All the facts stated herein are true, correct, complete, and certain, admissible as evidence; this is testimony to their veracity.

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

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

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

4. Our district courts are created by charter.

5. Our county courts are created by legislation.

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

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

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

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

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

• NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY Greetings Nancy; This is your notice I intend to sue your agency for violating the substantial rights you guaranteed me with your oath under general law. This is your opportunity to correct your cohorts' fiduciary breaches or in the least explain them to me.

All the facts stated herein are true, correct, complete, and certain, admissible as evidence; this is testimony to their veracity.

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

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

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

4. Our district courts are chartered.

5. Our county courts are had through legislation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This stipulation is necessary as I'm not an expert in law, however I do know right from wrong. If there is any man, woman or, other person damaged by my statements herein, if you will inform me by facts I will sincerely make every effort to amend my ways.
