Parking Structure Grand Opening Takes Place July 14, Parking Available Now

The Town of Estes Park is pleased to announce the grand opening celebration for the Estes Park Transit Facility Parking Structure July 14, 2017 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the top level of the new structure at691 N Saint Vrain Ave. A ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. Community members are encouraged to drive their favorite vehicles (bikes encouraged) to the event and join the display of classic autos provided by the Estes Park Car Club.

A soft opening to test operations will begin Saturday, July 1. Partial closures of sections of the facility will occur July 514 as remaining construction items are completed. Users are reminded that this parking lot does not accommodate trailers or any vehicles over 8 feet, 2 inches tall (ground level) or 7 feet tall (elevated levels). The new west access is not open to the public, and is provided for emergency and authorized vehicles only.

This project expands the original parking lot count of 102 stalls by an additional 313 spaces to provide a total of 415 spaces at the Estes Park Visitor Center south parking lot. This exceeds the project grant objective of delivering 300 new spaces to encourage visitors to park and use the Town and Hiker shuttles to reach downtown and Rocky Mountain National Park. A new free shuttle route,

the Green Route, will depart from the Estes Park Events Complex Park-nRide bus shelter beginning at 12 p.m. each day, traveling to the parking structure then on to Bond Park. It will travel this route every 15 minutes thereafter, traffic-dependent.

The $9.8 million project is opening for operation on time and under budget. The structure is constructed

by Heath Construction. Funding was provided by the Town of Estes Park ($5.9 million), Federal Transit Administration ($3.2 million), CDOT FASTER funds ($400,000), Federal Highway Administration Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant ($275,000), and Rocky Mountain National Park ($10,000). The structure is partially located on property of the Bureau of Reclamation.

Don’t Miss Rooftop Rodeo!

The Rooftop Rodeo fun continues nightly through Monday, July 10, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park. This year, the rodeo features 761 entrants hoping to walk away with the coveted championship.

“This is the second largest entry list

That’s Cervi Rodeo, based just east of Greeley, Colo. The firm has been around for five decades, and the patriarch, Mike Cervi, was a two-time Stock Contractor of the Year in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Now the firm rests firmly in the hands of his sons, Binion and Chase, the latter of whom was named the 2016 Pickup Man of the Year.

“We have a great relationship with the Cervis, and I think they make our rodeo better,” said Mark Purdy, chairman of Western Heritage. “The we’ve seen in our 91-year history,” said number of our entries has shot up conBen Vigil, president of Estes Park West- siderably each of the past three years ern Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. “I think that says something about our rodeo, but more importantly, it says something about Estes Park as such a welcoming community.”

The end result is producing an event that everyone can enjoy. Whether it’s cowboys and cowgirls chasing the big money or the crowd enjoying the antics of funnyman Cliff “Hollywood” Harris to the beauty of the majestic mountains that surround Granny May Arena, there is plenty to offer.

“We want everyone who leaves the arena each night to have thoroughly enjoyed their experience,” Purdy said. “That’s what rodeo is all about.”

Old Fall River Road In Rocky Mountain National Park Now Open Road Will Temporarily Close In August For Pavement Preservation Project Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park officially opened Friday, June 30, for the season. Old Fall River Road normally opens by the Fourth of July holiday weekend. This summer, during periods of high vehicle congestion, park staff may restrict vehicle access when needed on Old Fall River Road. Weather permitting, Old Fall River Road, Alpine Visitor Center and Trail Ridge Store Parking Area will be closed August 1, 2 and 3 and again on August 17, while the Alpine Visitor Center parking area is being resurfaced and then striped.

Old Fall River Road will close for the season to vehicles on Monday, October 2, for annual maintenance, and reopen to bicycles and pedestrians from October 7 through November 30. On December 1, the road will revert to trail status.

Old Fall River Road was built between 1913 and 1920. It is an unpaved road which travels from Endovalley Picnic Area to above treeline at Fall River Pass, following the steep slope of Mount Chapin’s south face. Due to the winding, narrow nature of the road, the scenic 9.4-mile route leading to Trail Ridge Road is one-way only. Vehicles over 25

feet and vehicles pulling trailers are prohibited on the road.

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

YMCA Of The Rockies Donates Property Tax Interest To Larimer And Grand Counties YMCA of the Rockies is pleased to announce large donations to Grand County and Larimer County. The donations are related to recently refunded property tax interest these counties and several affected taxing authorities were statutorily required to pay to YMCA of the Rockies. These payments resulted from a 2016 decision of the Colorado Court of Appeals that affirmed property tax exemptions originally granted to YMCA of the Rockies in 2005.

As a gesture of goodwill, YMCA of the Rockies is donating a total of $1,098,948.76 to the counties which will then distribute the donation proportionately to affected taxing districts. The donation amount represents 50% of each county’s required interest payment, with the remaining 50% being allocated by YMCA of the Rockies to legal fees incurred in response to this case.

“Grand County is pleased to put this matter behind us and focus our energies on serving our constituents. We hope to

work together with the YMCA of the Rockies to serve our community in the future,” said Lee Staab, Grand County Manager.

Larimer County Treasurer Irene Josey is happy that several Larimer County taxing districts, primarily in the Estes Valley, would see this 50% return to their budgets. “We look forward to a continued positive relationship with the YMCA. They have been nothing shy of professional and sincere during this negotiation process. I am grateful for their willingness to donate a portion of the accrued interest back to the affected taxing authorities.”

“YMCA of the Rockies is pleased to provide this donation as we continue to focus on our mission of putting Christian principles into practice through programs, staff and facilities in an environment that builds healthy spirit, mind and body for all,” said Julie Watkins, CEO, YMCA of the Rockies. “We look forward to a bright future in both of the counties we are blessed to serve.”

Crossroads Announces Meals On Wheels Staffing For 2018 Crossroads “Absolutely Committed” to Vital Program Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park has announced plans for staffing Meals on Wheels as Crossroads prepares to assume responsibility for the program in 2018.

“We are excited that Beth Headley will move from her current responsibilities with the Town of Estes Park after the end of this year to manage Estes Valley Meals on Wheels for Crossroads Ministries, starting January 1, 2018, ” said Dr. Tim McLemore, ExecuBeth Headley tive Director of Crossroads.

Beth Headley has served as Program Coordinator for the Town of Estes Park Senior Services since January 2015, where her responsibilities have included coordinating Meals on Wheels. “I am excited to work with Crossroads to help ensure that the Estes Valley has the best possible Meals on Wheels services, ” she said. “I believe that our current outstanding program will be even better in the years to come. ” Scott Applegate, President of the Crossroads Ministry Board of Directors, emphasized the priority that Crossroads Ministry places on a successful transition of Meals on Wheels services. “Crossroads Ministry is absolutely committed to successful implementation of Estes Valley Meals on Wheels at the start of the coming year, ” Applegate said. “Beth’s experience with the current Meals on Wheels program, along with her deep level of commitment and strong skills, makes her the ideal person to lead this vital program as part of the Crossroads Ministry team. ” Headley, a native of Iowa, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philosophy, and brings a varied professional background that includes teaching university level courses, office management, and coordinating public programs for a graduate institute. In her current work at the

Estes Park Senior Center, Beth plans and develops educational programs, social opportunities, and day trips for older adults. Her love of working with seniors motivated her to pursue instructor certification for N'Balance, a nationally recognized fall prevention class that will continue to be offered at the Estes Valley Community Center.

Additionally, she will coordinate with Morrison Community Living, a food management company that provides culinary expertise for Good Samaritan Estes Park Village, as they take on the task of preparing and packaging the same tasty and nutritious food for Meals on Wheels that they currently serve to residents of Good Samaritan every day for lunch and dinner.

Additional information, including opportunities for caring individuals and organizations to help fund Meals on Wheels in the Estes Valley, will be available as plans and preparations continue to progress in the next few weeks. Interested organizations and individuals are invited to contact Dr. McLemore at Crossroads Ministry, tim@crossroadsep.org, 970-577-0610.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com New York Times—July 12, 1981 “Lifted by hope and a break in the weather, Solar Challenger, an aircraft powered completely by the sun, flew 165 miles across the English Channel last week. Piloted by 28-year-old Stephen R. Ptacek, the 210-pound plane rose from Cormeilles-en-Vexin near Paris and, under sunny skies, set down at the Royal Manston Air Force Base on England's southeastern coast five and a half hours later.�

This is an article I found online when I learned that Estes Park’s own Stephen Ptacek is world famous for his solar flight across the English Channel. On the 36th anniversary of this monumental event, we read his story: It was the day we had been waiting for: clear, with a relatively dry air mass, and most importantly, light winds aloft forecast for the entire route from Pontoise, France—our point of departure just Northwest of Paris—to Royal Air Force base, Manston, United Kingdom. At the approach end of the runway, project manager Ray Morgan held Solar Challenger’s wingtip. Team leader Paul MacCready, the visionary behind the successful human powered aircraft Gossamer Condor and Albatross, was already in the Cessna chase plane.

Paul’s son, Parker, was positioned at the far end of the runway to assist turning around—sort of a taxiing pirouette maneuver. We had calculated the exact time of day when the solar intensity would be sufficient for flight, but I decided to attempt take off earlier. I took off, gained a few feet, landed straight ahead, turned around, and then taxied back to the original starting point for another attempt. On the eighth take off, I was climbing slowly but steadily when I sensed a weak but lifting air mass about mid-field just over the heads of the onlookers gathered on the side of the runway. Coincidentally, or because of them, I found lift. I stayed in this thermal until about 2600 feet above the field, pointed the nose in line with the rays of the rising sun and headed west.

The lightweight Solar Challenger had a slow, 23 mph climb-speed that day. Because the winds aloft would increase later in the day, it was important to fly as far west as possible, early. Later I could take advantage of the wind while keeping the sun normal to the solar cells for the northbound leg to Manston. This route put me longer over the English Channel both in distance and time but getting west was paramount to the success of the flight.

Once away from Pontoise, I angled the aircraft to achieve maximum solar intensity on the solar cells. I fly mostly by feel and then crosscheck the instruments. With most airplanes, there is a sweet spot where I can feel and hear that everything is where it needs to be. I found a small envelope where the airplane was most efficient and stayed. I knew that if I flew too slowly, the airplane would descend and if I flew too fast and it wasn’t efficient, I might descend.

I was never told how to fly the airplane; my team and I decided that I should climb as high as possible and store energy in the form of altitude.

Conditions in the cockpit were barely tolerable. Concerned about my flying over the English Channel, the team determined that I should wear a wetsuit just in case‌ There wasn’t good ventilation and the seat was hard and not at a very comfortable angle but because I wanted to be selected as the pilot, I never complained.

Apparently, I was working harder than I realized to get airborne. Climbing through

10,000 feet, I encountered temperatures cold enough that for the first few hours I had cold sweat—perhaps even ice—running down my back. To keep the 16,128 solar cells in the sunlight, I was in shade.

Just prior to reaching the French Coast, I climbed up the side of a towering cumulus cloud in blinding, refracting light. At the same time, I was dodging news helicopters and airplanes.

Silent Films Feature Buster Keaton On Friday, July 7, the Estes

Park Silent Film Festival will open with Buster Keaton.

Keaton is a great choice to begin the summer festival. He was a master of the silent screen and his films are highly entertaining.

Known for the deadpan face, he began acting in the early 1900s and continued his career into “talkies� into the 1960s. Even with the deadpan face, he had a way of using subtle inflections to express inner feelings. His films are filled with gags and gimmicks, most of which were created by himself.

Pianist and silent film accompanist Scott “Flying Fingers� Wilseck says, “I remember when I was about nine years old seeing Keaton in “Around the World in 80 Days. � I remember my family members pointing him out as someone special to be recognized. The role he plays in “One Week� is classic. Anyone who has attempted a “do it yourself � project can identify with his character, although Keaton’s experience is far more entertaining and humorous than those of others. �

He has three totally different roles in the films of July 7. In “Out West� he is a saloon owner. “The Boat� shows him struggling as the head of the family taking his wife and children for a ride that starts on calm seas and winds up in a dis-

The Silent Movie Festival will be running every Friday in July and August.

Step back in time and come to the Historic Park Theatre at 5 p.m. on July 7. If you arrive early, you can listen Scott Wilseck play old time tunes on the old piano at the front of the theatre. Then the live music continues as he accompanies the films. It’s great family entertainment and a chance to experience an art form that is kept alive by the Estes Park Silent Film Festival

The Quota Club of Estes Park is pleased to announce the new Celebrate Estes Park card. This year's card depicts two Great Horned owls sitting on a split rail fence in front of the iconic Twin Owls rock formation.

This card is the second in a series featuring an original painting by local artist Gary Hazelton, who has generously donated his talented work to this project. The series of cards represents various scenes in and around Estes Park.

In a play on words, this year's card is titled "Owl Always Love You." The idea for the painting was suggested to Gary by his mother-inlaw before she passed away last year.

The cards are available at a variety of merchants including Colorado Homestead, Hallmark Peak Card Shop, Wynbrier Home, Chrysalis At the Stanley Hotel, Ala Carte, Inkwell and Brew, Bear Necessities, Mac Gregor Ranch, and The Village Store.

This is a fundraising activity of the Quota Club.

The proceeds benefit many projects of the club including serving youth, seniors, speech and hearing, education the Loan Closet and medical needs within the Estes Park community. For many years the Quota Club has been involved in helping raise funds for ambulances, here in Estes Park. This spring Quota provided funds for the nineteenth time for the purchase of a new ambulance. All funds raised are disbursed with the guiding motto of the Quota Club: We Share.

EPNRC “Estes Give Back” Program Spotlights Mueller Pye & Assoc. CPA If you’ve attended any event in the Estes Park or Northern Front Range area, chances are you’ve seen a sponsorship by Mueller Pye & Associates. Owners Paul & Teresa Mueller, and new partner Robin Pye, are consistently listed on banners and programs as leading sponsors for various nonprofit events and activities.

It’s easy to see how Mueller Pye & Associates supports the community, which is why they are the July feature for EPNRC’s Estes Give Back program.

EPNRC started the Estes Give Back program as a way for businesses to show their reinvestment in the community in a more efficient and effective way. Estes Give Back business partners pledge to give 1% of sales to Estes Valley nonprofits through donations of cash, inkind services/merchandise, and/or employee volunteer time.

“We provide sponsorships to community-building activities, such as the Performance Park summer concert series, Rooftop Rodeo, and the Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (Estes Park EDC), ” shared Paul. “We also furnish pro-bono bookkeeping services to select organizations as part of our Board participation.” One such example is Estes Partners for Commerce – Paul sits on the business organization’s board as Treasurer, and complimentarily provides the services of Mueller Pye & Associates for their financial needs.

In return, for membership in the Estes Give Back program, EPNRC provides program discounts, recognition and tools to help businesses better track gifts and to direct their giving to the causes closest to the business owner’s heart and business mission. Business partner dues support Give Back program administration, as well as EPNRC resources, educational programs, and networking opportunities that enable Estes Valley nonprofits to achieve their goals.

Their ability to share how they support the community and what initiatives might be the right fit for their business are two important components of the program. “Give Back allows us to publicize our 6-part sponsorship criteria, ” Paul said. “We’ve had a number of organizations who contact us, but don’t meet

our criteria. When we decline, a few have said it’s OK and they understand since they had already seen that criteria.”

Paul and Teresa encouraged other businesses to get involved with Estes Give Back. “We believe in the value of the Give Back program,” they said. “It’s tangible recognition of our community support and provides us a platform to communicate our giving criteria.” Like many of the other Estes Give Back businesses, Mueller Pye & Associates cite the ‘matching’ component of the program as a great benefit. “That creates efficiency for us and the nonprofit community so that neither of us wastes time and precious resources, ” they shared.

Businesses can participate in Estes Give Back by completing a membership form, also found at www.epnonprofit.org/give-back. There is a $150 annual participation fee that counts toward the 1% donation as well as toward membership to EPNRC. Program benefits include: • A dedicated business webpage on epnonprofit.org, describing community contributions, types of requests granted, types of causes supported, as well as a link to the business website • Pre-built spreadsheet for tracking donations • Donation request forms available online • Business card sized handout for walkin donation seekers • Window decal • Annual recognition at Philanthropy Day celebration in November • Use of Give Back logo for promotional purposes • And much, much more!

For Paul, Teresa, and Robin, the biggest reason for participating in Estes Give Back is the “example” component. “Our participation in the Give Back program is of a leadership nature,” they said. “We hope our participation encourages other businesses to step up and highlight their commitment to the community. After all, every business benefits from a prosperous and resilient community. ” The EPNRC exists to serve and strengthen organizations by offering resources, educational programs, and networking opportunities.

Sunday Night Is Military Appreciation Night At The Rooftop Rodeo By: Laurie Button

Military Appreciation Night at the Rooftop Rodeo holds special significance for Estes Park resident Ben Vigil. A veteran himself, he currently serves as president of Estes Park Western Heritage Inc., the volunteer organization responsible for the mammoth task of organizing the rodeo each year. Vigil is just one of at least a dozen or so veterans working hard with EPWH to ensure the rodeoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success.

Vigil will be the first to admit he got into his share of trouble while growing up. He was raised by a hardworking, loving, single mother, but even so, he now believes he probably grew up with a chip on his shoulder. Never really interested in academics, Vigil dropped out of high school. Eventually it would be a thoughtful judge who sat him down for a serious talk about the fu .*/ - -#/// ture and encouraged him to join the military.

Vigil enlisted in 1976 at the age of seventeen and served with the U.S. Marine Corps for four years. Most of his time was spent at Camp Pendleton, but he did spend a year in Okinawa, Japan. Vigilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training was in radio communications, a skill he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary utilize now, but the military managed to accomplish something even more important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gave me structure and taught me about discipline,â&#x20AC;? said Vigil. He credits his time in the military with giving him focus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without that experience, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where I would be now. I realized anyone can accomplish anything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just up to you.â&#x20AC;?

Another highlight of the evening will be a guest performance by Nashville recording artist Pete Martinez. Martinez makes his home in Colorado. Having not served in the military, and coming from a family of veterans, he has made it his mission to serve our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans and their families through music.

Several honors define his career but one of those clearly stands out. In 2014 Martinez wrote and recorded a song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Thank You,â&#x20AC;? as a tribute to WWII veterans, allies, and their families. That song resulted in an invitation to perform before dignitaries and veterans at the 70th anniversary of D-Day celebrations on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France. He considers that opportunity to be one of his life's highest honors. Today the song is played as all Northern Colorado Honor Flights are touching down on the return flight home from Washington, D.C. In addition to writing and

recording country music, Martinez runs the Denver-based company he founded, NRS, to help guard our nation's critical infrastructure with state of the art counter UAV technology.

Martinez is sponsored by Wrangler and you can listen to â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Thank Youâ&#x20AC;? on his website: PETEMARTINEZUSA.com.

The arena gates open at 5 p.m. on Military Appreciation Night with the kick-off show beginning at 6:30. During the rodeo be sure to stop at the Veterans Monument Committee table in the Midway. While there youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an opportunity to personally share your appreciation with a few of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans and learn about the Estes Park Veterans Monument project.

Ticket information is available at www.rooftoprodeo.com. General admission ticket prices for Sunday night are: Adults $20; Children (3-12) $15; Seniors $15; Military and their family members $10 (each person). A very limited number of box seats ($30 each) are still available for Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rodeo performance. The other two remaining rodeo performances will take place Saturday, July 8 (Pink Night) and Monday, July 10 (Royalty Night).

So, dust off that cowboy hat, polish your best boots, round up your family, and attend the 91st annual Rooftop Rodeo!

Part of carrying on the tradition of Western Heritage through music is supporting youth as they explore Western Music. The interest, generosity, and commitment shown by teachers and skilled performers are paramount in creating a new generation of musicians who value and understand a high standard of execution.

The National Oldtime Fiddlers Contest is an old-time music competition, festival and musical gathering held annually during the third full week in June, in Weiser, Idaho.

Although musicians gather to compete, the real joy and learning come from eight days of jamming with others, whose skill and talent are truly extraordinary. The relationships developed through these precious moments of mentoring create exceptional, rich learning platforms for further growth.

The contest draws musicians from across the country, to celebrate, jam and compete and draws 7,000 people each year. The best fiddlers in the nation gather to compete in eight divisions. The judging criteria are: old-time fiddling style, danceability, rhythm and timing, and tone quality.

The contest side of things is all about making the top five and several Colorado Fiddlers did just that. Katie Glassman placed 1st for the third year in a row in the Western Swing Division and placed in the Top 5 in the Championship Division.

Celeste Johnson, Mackenzie Johnston, Jesse Quintana, Cody Robinson Stadel-

maier and Vi Wickam all hail from Colorado and placed in the top five of their respective divisions. 12 year old Estes Park local, Julian Oliver returned home with the 2nd place trophy for the Junior division.

When asked about her Weiser experience, Celesteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes sparkle as she says, "Weiser is a slice of fiddle heaven. It's a chance to reunite with fiddle family, improve yourself as a musician, and participate in a tight-knit community of people who share the same verve for old-time music.

The passion, talent, and community that come together in Weiser make it the most exciting, transformative thing I've ever experienced as a musician.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The competition is fun, but not the main focus for most of us. Weiser is about getting together with friends who are like family and doing what we all love-playing music all day and night,â&#x20AC;? says Julian.

You can find both Celeste Johnson and Julian Oliver fiddling at the Lazy B in Estes Park Tuesday-Sunday throughout the summer.

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE One of my favorite characters of years gone by was Red Skelton. There have been few people who could elicit genuine laughter as well as did Red. Whether he was performing as Clem Kadidilhopper or Junior or another character, he was downright hilarious. We need such good clean humor today and it is a rare commodity. However, Red Skelton was not only about clean hilarious comedy, he also got very serious on occasion, when he thought about the more important things of our time. One of those was his view of our great nation and the blessings that we enjoy and the heritage that we need to protect. I thought that this holiday weekend would be a good time for us to read again the words of one of his most memorable and much needed speeches. Please consider it once more. These are Red Skelton’s words: “When I was a small boy in Vincennes, Indiana, I heard, I think, one of the most outstanding speeches I ever heard in my life. I think it compares with the Sermon on the Mount, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and Socrates’ Speech to the Students.

We had just finished reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and our teacher called us all together, and he says, ‘Uh, boys and girls, I have been listening to you recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester, and it seems that it has become monotonous to you. Or, could it be, you do not understand the meaning of each word? If I may, I would like to recite the Pledge, and give you a definition for each word: I Me; an individual, a committee of one Pledge Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.

Allegiance My love and devotion.

To the Flag Our standard, ‘Old Glory’; a symbol of freedom. And wherever she waves, there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts ‘Freedom is everybody’s job’.

United That means we have all come together.

Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states.

States Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose All divided by imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common cause, that is love of country, of America.

Republic A Republic: a sovereign state in which power if invested into the representatives chosen by the people to govern. And the government is the people; and it’s from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

For which it stands Meaning so blessed by God. One nation Indivisible Incapable of being divided.

Which is Freedom. The right of power for one to live his own life without With Liberty fears, threats, or any sort of retaliation.

And Justice The principle and qualities of dealing fairly with others.

For all.

That means boys and girls, it’s as much your country as it is mine.

Now let me hear you recite it again……’

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God. Wouldn’t it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that be eliminated from our schools, too?” (Red Skelton, January 14, 1969) I hope that your heart fills with joy as you think of our great nation. Mine does. Bob

Carol said, “I was raised on a cattle ranch southwest of Douglas, Wyoming. I

attended a rural school through the 8 grade and graduated from Douglas High School in 1973. As a youth, I was active in 4-H. I began sewing at age eight and have continued sewing through my life.

Over the years I have done alterations, made dog and cat muzzles for a vet supply house, and been a 4-H leader teaching youth to sew. During the years my children were in school, I worked at the school district. From 1995 to 2015 I worked as a Certified Dental Lab technician fabricating crowns and bridges for dental offices. Ten of those years I ran my own dental lab. Currently I work part time at Laughing Ladies Quilts in Berthoud serving customers, making store samples and teaching classes. In January of this year I attended sewing machine repair school and since have started Sullivan Sewing Machine Service and Repair. I have one son, one daughter, one granddaughter, and three grandsons.”

VIP Tickets Will Allow Some Fans A New & Different Experience At Rooftop Rodeo How popular is Rooftop Rodeo?

The popular box seats are often sold out before the rodeo begins at 7 p. m.

Wednesday, July 5-Monday, July 10, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park. So the Town of Estes Park developed another avenue beginning this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking at the fact that our box seats sell so well, â&#x20AC;? said Rob Hinkle, director of the Community Services Department with the Town of Estes Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realized people are looking for a more exclusive experience.

The town created the VIP Experience, which allows patrons a tour of the rodeo grounds before the show, access to the exclusive VIP patio at the west gate, dinner at the hospitality tent, access to a bartender and specially reserved stadium seating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While watching the event, you will be taken care of by a designated bartender, providing you with drinks at additional charge, â&#x20AC;? said Mark Purdy, chairman of Estes Park Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have only 26 VIP tickets available for each night, but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awesome opportunity for people who want that experience. â&#x20AC;?

VIP Experience tickets are $100 apiece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This offers VIP guests a chance to meet our volunteers and the cowboys that come to town to compete, â&#x20AC;? said Ben Vigil, president of Western Heritage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also allows them a special seat where they can see all the action. â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about creating something special for those guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want this to have a special ambiance for those guests, â&#x20AC;? Hinkle said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new experience to the rodeo thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much different than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get from our general admission seats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It provides convenient access to our hospitality tent, which traditionally has been reserved for our volunteers and the

cowboys. â&#x20AC;?

For now, guests can enjoy access to the area just outside the west gate, a popular viewing spot for staff members and cowboys in the past.

Common Cents: Library Hosts Five-Part Money Management Series

Page 29

Citizens Needed...

for Estes Valley Planning Commission Deadline to Apply: July 19

Successful personal money management—how to save more of a household’s income, and how to make those dollars grow through smart investing—is rooted in a simple understanding of core financial literacy principles. To help with this important effort, the Estes Valley Library has developed a five-part workshop series, a curriculum that is now being used by public libraries around Colorado. The popular series is being offered this summer in the comfortable setting of the YMCA of the Rockies.

Great Pets Need New Forever Homes

Adorable Kirk is a two year old black and white kitty, he is affectionate, loving and playful.

Handsome Theodore is five years old and has huge feet, he is polydactyl. He is all about being a lap cat and is super friendly.

Beautiful Carla is about two years old and was abandoned on the highway by her previous owners. She walks nicely on a leash, is house trained, and seems to do well with kitties. She is looking for a foster or permanent adopter to help her through her four month treatment. Her treatment will primarily consist of two months of very restricted exercise.

Sweet Kemah is about three years old, she is house trained and good with cats and other dogs. She is deaf. She is very afraid of fast movements so a home without small children will be best.

Stop down to the Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue to meet any of these great pets or call 586-9282 for more information.

All pets are offered through the Pet Association of Estes Park, a non-profit organization that works to find homes for stray and abandoned pets, control dog and cat populations by funding sterilization programs, educate members of the community, especially young people, about the humane treatment of animals and the responsibilities of pet ownership;

“We had a very unconventional transaction where we were selling our home and buying a foreclosed property from a bank. Heidi did a great job juggling and being sure all the relationships, massive amount of paperwork, and nearly endless contract revisions were completed,and all by the contract dates and deadlines.

Heidi also did a great job continuing to communicate everything to us in a very timely manner - this was critical on these complicated and unconventional transactions. We highly recommend her, and will certainly do business with her again.”

Utah Native, Mike MacDonald Joins Loving Spirit Board Of Directors Rosemary Sloan, Chair of the Board of Loving Spirit announced today that Mike MacDonald, of Salt Lake City, Utah has been named to

the Board of

Directors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased to announce the appointment of a business leader and a great humanitarian to join the Board of our nonprofit,â&#x20AC;? said Sloan.

Loving Spirit is based in Estes Park, Colorado. Its mission is to change the way we think about, prepare for and respond to grief and loss. It achieves that mission through the publication of books and other resources, through free, twoday workshops and through a national movement to spread the word that there are healthier, better ways to respond to loss issues.

MacDonald is well known in Salt Lake business circles. He is the Dealer, Principal of Bountiful Mazda, Bountiful Lincoln, Mercury, Suzuki, and Orem Mazda.

He is also a partner and General Manager of Jerry Seiner Buick, GMB in Mid-

vale and Ken Graff Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda in Bountiful. Additionally, he serves on the Board of Directors of New Car Dealers of Utah and is a past President of that organization.

MacDonald got his start in the automobile industry at an early age when he and his brother, Paul, were involved in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car dealership in Detroit, Michigan. Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather opened the first Chevrolet dealership in Detroit in 1929, just at the end of the great Depression and was the youngest Chevrolet Dealer in the nation at that time.

Henhouse, 8020 Results Personal Training and Hermit Park Open Space.

WolfWoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission was to provide a safe refuge for unwanted and homeless wolves and wolf/dogs. Today, all animals live on 40 acres in Ignacio, CO in very large enclosed areas. All efforts are made to provide the best physical, mental, social and psychological environment for each animal. The refuge receives no Federal or State funds and is grateful to have the support of over 35 volunteers. All donations are applied directly toward the care of the wolves and wolf/dogs.

WolfWood Refuge provides comprehensive information and education on

wolf and wolf/dog behavior and the issues surrounding them. Our extensive outreach programs are given free of charge to over sixty schools and organizations annually, with projects often focusing on at-risk youth.

There are currently over 60 wolves and wolf/dogs housed at WolfWood. We are one of the few wolf refuges still accepting animals. For more information visit: www.wolfwoodrefuge.org

Pet Association Yard Sale Exceeds Expectations The Pet Association Yard Sale was a tremendous success by raising over $5,600 to be used for providing shelter, re-homing and medical care for stray and relinquished dogs and cats. The generosity of the Estes Park community never ceases to amaze me!

Thank you to everyone who donated items for the sale and of course, to those who attended the sale and purchased much needed items. This year, many individuals simply made donations for which we are very grateful. Your support will allow the Pet Association to continue providing for animals in need.

Thank you to the following volunteers who assisted before, during and after the sale: Demi Andrews, Shirley Arnold, Robin Bales, Stan Becker, Camden Birkeland, Susan Boaz, Joan Borel, Jan Carpenter, Dr. Jeff Fish, Jill Flegal, Tim Gallaher, Leslie Glover, Lou Gorski, Nick Johnson, Lee Kaminski and Rowdy, Patti Kane, Cally Miller, Jason Morales, Karen

Risley, Sue Ross, Julie Sullivan, Kathy Sullivan, Tim Sullivan, and Joann Van Vliet.

Thank you to Crystal Wille for recruiting volunteers and providing general support, and to Mary Hemphill for acquiring water and snacks for the hardworking volunteers.

Thank you to Dr. Jeff Fish for hosting the yard sale at the Animal Medical Center; to Kris Hazelton of the Estes Park News for the weekly advertising support; to Dianne Betts for the large signs and to Sonya Binns at the Estes Park Rent-All for arranging for use of tables during one of their busiest weekends. Thank you to Kathy Hickey and Pamela Becker for another year of organizing and managing a sale that continues to grow and improve each year.

It is truly an honor and privilege to be part of the Estes Park community.

10th Annual Weed Roundup!

How To Recycle Different Materials By: Judi Smith

The 10th annual Estes Park Weed Roundup will be held Saturday, July 22 from 9:00 a. m. to noon located north of the Waste Management transfer station (across from Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ) at 666 Elm Road. From Hwy. 34 & 36 intersection, take Moraine Ave./Hwy. 36 for 1.2 miles toward Rocky Mountain National Park. Turn right on Elm Road and follow the signs.

Are you interested in learning about weeds in the Estes Valley and wanting to dispose of your noxious weeds for free?

The Estes Park Weed Roundup is the place to do all of this and more! You can get your unknown weedy plants identified, learn how to get rid of those pesky weeds on your property, and pick up other educational materials about invasive plants. Estes Park Master Gardeners, Larimer County, and RMNP experts on noxious weeds will be available to answer questions, and identify weeds and native plants.

Bring in your weeds – no slash, pine needles, trash – in paper yard bags for free disposal. Participants will receive a free 30 gallon paper lawn bag for future weed collection. The Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) will also be hosting a monitored weed drop-off on August 26 and September 23 from 9:00 a.m. to noon at 666 Elm Road. Due to

One of the biggest detractions to recycling is the confusion over what is – and what is not – recyclable. This varies from community to community, from hauler to hauler. In actual fact, due to our location in Estes Park, we often have more options than other individuals, but these choices may reside at a distance and only be accessible by employing a long drive to deliver our trash.

Even long term locals cannot always determine what to take where. Newcomers to the Estes Valley may be accustomed to what they believe is “free” disposal, even though the cost must be covered somewhere. And what goes into the bins in other locations may be totally different.

Visitors often have no idea what is recyclable in Estes Park.

At home, they may be accustomed to broader rules that allow the recycling of organic material such as food scraps, paper towels, and shredded paper, plus garden and lawn cuttings (These materials eventually go to a composting facility and often abuse and misuse, the unmonitored weed return as supplements to the very gardens drop-off offered by the Town of Estes that contribute.) Some systems today even use one garbage can and then separate at a Park during the last two years has been discontinued due to misuse by dumping “dirty” MRF.

Come learn about weeds that you may have on your property that can increase the fire danger around your home, or may be poisonous to your animals or family members. Keep in mind if you’re trying to rent or sell your property, prospective homebuyers are becoming more savvy about noxious weeds, and may not want to inherit a property full of troublesome weeds. Check out www.estes.org/weeds for an electronic version of the Fourteen Very Unwanted Weeds in the Estes Valley weed booklet.

Also learn about the state, county, and municipal ordinances regarding noxious weeds. Free printed weed booklets are also available at the Estes Valley Library year around, and seasonally at the Farmer’s Market, Little Libraries, and other events. As good stewards of your land, learn about native plants and get rid of the invasive plants!

The Weed Roundup is sponsored by Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA), Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary, Village Thrift Shop, Estes Park Master Gardeners, RMNP, EP News, and donors to ELSA. For more information about ELSA contact us at elsa.weeds@gmail.com or attend our meetings held at 9:30 a. m. the first Thursday of the month in the George Hix Room at the US Bank.

accept aluminum foil (balled for Doering, flattened for Waste Management and the Transfer Station). Scrap metal can be taken to recycling locations in the valley, who will pay for the metal.

Plastic: Likewise #1-7 are acceptable providing they are bottles, jars, jugs, and tubs.

Clamshells are also welcome. Large #2 plastics, such as laundry baskets, can be taken to Ecocycle. #5 plastics in unusual shapes can be taken to Whole Foods. Plastic (not cellophane) bags of all types go to the Safeway.

Paper: White or pastel office paper, shredded or not, may be placed in the office paper bin. Brighter, darker colors (no shredding) go into the single streaming with the paperboard. Corrugated cardboard is also single streamed. Any recycling entity will welcome clean, dry cardboard. My household takes ours to Greeley or Lyons.

Glass: While the usual options do accept glass, it is single streamed, and often contaminates other recyclables such as cardboard. The dedicated glass bin at the Event Center parking lot recycles 100% the glass collected. Broken glassware is welcome along with glass jars, bottles, etc. But no mirrors, ceramics, or windows.

There are no public composting options for the Estes Valley – yet -- and construction recycling is limited to those with who need a roll-off. But we do have a number of Planet Partners, private businesses who are willing to collect certain materials (such as shipping supplies, books, old cars, etc.) for reuse or recycling. Lists are available at the Estes Valley Library.

The next meeting of the LWV & CRC is 10 a.m. July 12 at the EV Library and, as usual, I can be reached at RRRcyc2se with your suggestions.

Jo Jones Persons On April 2, 1931, the world received a beautiful gift. Jo Jones Persons was known to some by her Des Moines, Iowa roots, to others by her full tilt laughter and gift for storytelling, and others by her little boutique in Estes Park, Colorado, La Place de Jo. She was Jo, wife, business owner, past member of the Rotary Club of Estes Park, singer with Estes Park Sings, and actress in several plays including Mame, Cinderella, Harvey, and Come Blow Your Horn, lover of life, and to the most fortunate six, Mom. Surrounded by her family, Jo passed away peacefully on July 2, 2017. Born to Harvey and Hazel Stearns and older sister Marylou, Jo spent her blissful childhood in Des Moines. She met her husband Robert Jones at Drake University and began her next adventure as wife and mother. Married to Bob for 25 years and raising six children, Jo spoke often about her affection for Iowa. Jo and Bob moved to Loveland, Colorado in 1974 where they happily explored the mountains for two years before Bob

passed away. The mountains called Jo to move to Estes Park in 1977 where she bought her home, opened her boutique, delighted in her beloved Fall River and Rocky Mountains and met her wonderful husband, Alfred E. Persons. They were married in 2003 and had a “fabulous” life together for 10 years before Al passed away. Jo returned to Loveland in 2015 where she lived in her “jewel box” in the foothills by the river. Always grateful, always generous, always loving, Jo will be forever remembered by her children: Stephaney (Vinh), Joni (Peter), Babette (Daniel), Bob, Mike (MaryAnne), Patrick (Kristin), and her “cherubs” including 16 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. A celebration of life will be held at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Estes Park on July 12th at 11:00 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Bartholomew’s Church in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517. See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Jo’s family.
