To participate, visitors can simply text GO EPALERTS to 888-777. The visitor’s cell phone number will automatically be added to the database that could be used if the Estes Park Emergency Communications Center sends out emergency mass notifications during the following two-week period. Captain Corey Pass of the Estes Park Police Department commented, “I remember during the Woodland Heights Fire watching the helicopters fly low over the downtown corridor, which was full of visitors at the time, and wishing we had a direct way to tell our visitors what’s going on.” Pass continued, “LETA, along with the Estes Park Police Department and Town have been trying to address this communi-

Because GO EPALERTS subscriptions expire after two weeks, this system is not intended for long-term use by residents of the Estes Valley. Residents should continue to sign up for full emergency alerts through www.leta911.org, as this system is more robust, providing options to receive emergency information for various addresses phone, cell phone, email and text. The full system retains resident information for important alerts until the resident opts out of the program. For more information, please contact Captain Corey Pass at 970-577-3828.

If you have a party of 20 or more, we may be able to arrange a special tour for your group. Call 970-577-3920 for more information. Please note that the tour will take you through areas of loose dirt (sometimes mud), so please wear appropriate shoes. Flip flops or expensive shoes are probably not a good idea!

Rooftop Rodeo Military Appreciation Night Sunday, July 10 Imagine that someone saves your life, the lives of your entire family, your home, your career, your personal freedoms and your entire quality of life. How can you adequately express your profound gratitude? Make it a point to attend the Rooftop Rodeo this Sunday evening for Military Appreciation Night where you can show your appreciation and honor these great heroes who walk amongst us. During the rodeo, organizers will honor these men & women who endured unimaginable living conditions & the horrors of combat. They made it possible for all Americans to enjoy our freedoms & prosperity. Some staggering facts: seventy-five years ago the United States entered WWII when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Some 16.1 million Americans answered the call to serve in our Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. More than 405,000 gave their lives, 670,000 were injured, 124,000 became POWs, and 30,000 remain missing in action. In June 1953, the Korean War ended. It claimed more than 54,000 Americans. In 1975, the Vietnam War came to an end with 58,000 lost. Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia have taken nearly 7,000. American military personnel are buried across our great land in every town and city, and 125,000 lie in the soil of 16 foreign nations, from England, France and Italy, to Northern Africa, the Philippines and New Guinea. Combining those killed in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, since 1941 more than 1/2 million men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our American freedoms and values. In the parade this week, thousands of people honored our veterans who are residents of Estes Park including Vern Mertz, 90, who landed Marines on Iwo Jima, Jack McDade, 91, who was on the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown which was in eleven battles and Bob Brunson, 95, who was a night fighter pilot flying missions from the USS Enterprise. We also saluted other veterans who rode in the trolley and on the float with the replica
of the USS Grayling, one of the 52 American subs lost in WWII. Many of these veterans have made the Honor Flight trip to Washington DC to visit the monuments erected in their honor, at no cost to them thanks to Honor Flight Northern Colorado (HFNC). HFNC is a national program which has sent more than 2,000 veterans of WWII, the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the recipients of the Purple Heart for wounds suffered in combat including Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia on this special journey. Please visit the Honor Flight table located on the rodeo midway for details, pick up an application and fly with them on their next trip in September. (HFNC charters an airliner every May and September for this amazing trip). Also on the rodeo midway will be the Mobile Vet Center designed to extend the reach of Vet Center services to provide counseling to eligible combat veterans and their families, those that suffered military sexual trauma and bereavement counseling to family members who have lost an active duty service member through focused outreach to communities that do not meet the requirements for a “brick and mortar” Vet Center. On Sunday night, Estes Park Honor Flight Committee members will be carrying service flags; Army-Gary Brown; Marine Corps-Larry Allen; Navy-Matt Sychla; Air Force-Dan Scace; and Coast Guard-Roger Hess as a moving tribute is given to the fallen in all wars. We owe these men and women so much, including gratitude, remembrance, celebration, mercy, compassion and a way to help if needed. Please come out and be a part of this great experience as we learn more and give thanks to our local hometown heroes. For more information on Honor Flight Northern Colorado, please visit the website at www.honorflightnortherncolorado.org and view some of the three to six minute long videos and photos, and download/print applications for veterans, guardians and volunteers. For information on tickets to Sunday night’s Rooftop Rodeo, visit rooftoprodeo.com. Tickets are also available at the gate at the Fairgrounds at Estes Park.

The Reliance Fire Museum Open House July 16
Courtesy photos Reliance Fire Museum, parade Kirby Hazelton/ EPNEWS.com
The Reliance Fire Museum is a gently guarded secret in the Estes Park community, out of sight of most curious eyes. It is the place where old fire engines come to get a breath of new life, as they are restored to new condition for their owners: collectors, cities and fire fighter associations. It is also a place that a fine collection of old trucks now make their permanent homes.
Next Saturday, July 16th, the Reliance Fire Museum is offering public tour hours from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. It's your opportunity to take a peek inside. Visitors from around the world come in small groups or as individuals, to check out the place that will restore their beloved antique fire engine, or just to see the world class collection of apparatus. Visitors will have the chance to see fire engines and equipment as old as 1901. Operating displays include a tiller ladder
truck from Beverly Hills, CA; a one-of-a-kind wooden body sedan pumper from Detroit; and an actual ‘life-net’ used to catch victims that might jump from a burning buildingamong many other trucks and fire fighting tools. Bring the kids, but be forewarned, these trucks are not toys- with several being valued at over $100,000. (There is a fire truck parked outside that is ok to climb on!) At this open house, the museum will be showing off the latest “restorations in progress” including a 1929 American
LaFrance pumper that served Highland Park, Illinois, and one of two 1914 Ahrens Fox type F tractors still in existence. It’s dark maroon paint really makes the 23 karat gold leaf decoration stand out! The restoration facility has also received two new patients, a 1911 Kissel pumper from Salida, Colorado and a 1927 American LaFrance pumper from Los Angeles, California. The museum is also welcoming a new arrival in the form of a 1927 Seagrave pumper that served Anaconda, Montana. The truck is in need of restoration but is a rare model featuring Seagrave’s special pump design and chain drive for the rear wheels.
Public tours are free of charge. Donations to help operate the museum are always welcome, but not required. Take Moraine Avenue West from downtown Estes Park to Elm Road, then about one mile up Elm Road to the Museum- it’s the building with a fire truck in the driveway at 460 Elm Road. Parking is available behind the shop if necessary- where you can also check out some classic trucks awaiting their turn in the restoration shop. To take a preview of the museum, or for contact information, visit the Reliance Fire Museum website: www.reliancefiremu-

Elkins Distilling Co. Now Open! Elkins Distilling Co. Newest Craft Beverage Watering Hole in Estes Park
Joe Elkins
By: Kirby Hazelton
Estes Park is proud to welcome the newest local spot for grabbing a delicious craft beverage: Elkins Distilling Co.! The tasting room opened quietly on Monday, July 4th and will be open daily from 3-10 p.m. (check their Facebook page, Facebook.com/ElkinsWhisky, for updated information as these hours may change). Located at 1825 N. Lake Avenue, across the street from Lake Estes, Elkins Distilling Co. boasts a bright red building front with a spectacular view of Longs Peak from the tasting room and pet-friendly patio. Whisky production and other operations take place in the back half of the building. Guests can currently enjoy seven different cocktails, including the “Watermelon Crawler,” a watermelon infusion with basil and a dash each of black pepper and balsamic vinegar, and the “Buck & Blanco,” ginger ale with white whisky, a twist of lemon, and a dash of bitters. Estes locals will have to try the “Longs Peak Lemonade,” which includes lemons, sugar, lavender, and basil, or the “Estes Palmer” (also known as the Iced Tottie), based with sweet tea and lemonade. Each custom drink showcases the very first batch of Elkins corn whisky. In addition to their refreshing drinks, be sure to check out their line of merchandise, including shirts, tank tops, hats, patches, glassware, copper mugs, and more. Co-founders Joe Elkins and McShan Walker are proud to note that Elkins Distilling Co. is a certified farm distillery, meaning whiskey is produced onsite and with organic, Colorado corn ac-
quired directly from the farm and from their direct relationship with the farmer. The distillery currently utilizes four fermentation tanks, which will each run for 365 days per year, and can produce a batch of whisky every five days. While Elkins and Walker aren’t currently barrel-aging, it’s in their future plans, along with research to learn how to accelerate the barrel-aging process while still reaping authentic benefits. Elkins, a Professor of Earth Science Education at University of Northern Colorado, was an instrumental part of the code change in 2014 that would allow for introducing alcoholic beverage production facilities that would not required to include a food service component. Elkins Distilling Co. joins two other recently established craft beverage houses – Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company and Rock Cut Brewing Company – as well as Estes Park Brewery, Snowy Peaks Winery, and Dancing Pines Distillery. Welcome to Estes Park, Elkins Distilling Co.!

It’s mid-summer, time to lighten up. Here are my contributions: This is a true story told by an elementary school teacher in Kansas: The sixth grade class had been studying animals and their reproductive cycles. A student raised his hand with purpose. “We’re animals, right?” he asked. “Yes, we are,” the teacher answered, a little surprised that this straight-A student was asking. “So when is our mating season?” he asked. Of course there were giggles and sniggers from the class. But the teacher could see that the student was earnest. She decided to answer just as seriously. “Always…anytime.” The class was quiet for a second. The boy spoke again. So we just do it whenever?” “Yes,” the teacher answered. There was nothing more to say. ~oOo~ I was in a wreck yesterday. A car full of dwarfs. One came up to me very angry. "I'm not happy!"

The prevailing belief, potentially unfounded, about Sprague's Resort is that it was precipitously “deserted� because of a cholera or typhoid outbreak.
What is informally referred to as Deserted Village along the North Fork of the Big Thompson River probably grew to “village� size between 1908 and 1914, when Denver realtor Fred H. Sprague purchased a sawmill operation north of Glen Haven from the Simmons brothers, and attempted to turn it into a fishing resort. Because so many features of this area were assigned to the Fourth Earl of Dunraven, perhaps not coincidentally around the time of Sprague's arrival, hikers to Deserted Village (when the buildings were still standing) associated the largest structure with Lord Dunraven's purported 1870s hunting lodge, and local guidebooks continue to make this claim.
On Sunday, July 17 at the Glen Haven Community Fire Hall, Estes Park Archives spokesperson John Meissner will explore not only the “which came first?� aspect of Dunraven Park/Sprague's Resort, but also the equally important question of what came after, and why Deserted Village was ultimately deserted. The free program, sponsored by the Glen Haven Historical Society, begins at 1:00 p.m. Glen Haven residents and interested neighborhood explorers are encouraged to attend and share photographs, memories, and conjectures related to Deserted Village, because the truth is far from established, and fragments of recently-unearthed Loveland newspapers merely add to the mystery.

Mayor Todd Jirsa Proclaims “Rooftop Rodeo Week” Mayor Jirsa kicked off the parade and Rodeo Week by presenting a proclamation to Mark Purdy of the Rodeo Committee. As Mayor Jirsa read the proclamation for the Rooop Rodeo, so named as it takes place at 7,500 feet, horses filled the streets, reminiscent of the early 1900s when Estes Park adopted the title “e Horse Capital of the Nation.” Our mayor was proud to announce
that the Rooop Rodeo was one of the top medium size rodeos in the nation for the last five years. e proclamation was rounded out as our cowboy hat clad Mayor proclaimed that his office, the Town Trustees, the merchants, residents and volunteers support the celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the Rooop Rodeo.

Three years after the flood that devastated the Estes Valley and surrounding region, many projects to restore local streams and rivers and improve flood resiliency are getting underway and many more are in the planning stages. At the July 23 event, a panel of speakers managing the restoration efforts will discuss the state of the watersheds and the current and planned projects. Questions from the audience will be taken at the conclusion of the program. A tour of the restoration work on severely flood-damaged Fall River near the hydroplant will be offered following the program. Featured speakers will include Molly Mills of the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition, Shayna Jones of the Big Thompson Watershed Coalition, Erin Cooper of the Little Thompson Watershed Coalition, Senior Project Engineer Julie Ash from the international design firm Otak, and Environmental Planner Tina Kurtz from the Town of Estes Park. The charge for the event is $15 ($5 for K-12 students, $0 for preschoolers), payable by check or cash at the breakfast. The delicious breakfast is served by Catering for All Occasions and includes an egg entrée, fresh fruit, pastries, juice, and hot coffee.
Reservations for the breakfast event are required no later than Monday, July 18. You may call the Land Trust office at 970-577-6837 (you may leave a message) or send an email to evlt@evlandtrust.org. The first and last name of each attendee should be provided so name tags can be made in advance. Please provide an email address so you can be notified of any last-minute details. All reservations will be confirmed. To reach the Hydroplant Picnic Grounds, from the intersection of Fall River Road and Elkhorn Avenue (Hwy 34), proceed west on Fall River Road for 1.8 miles. Turn left on Fish Hatchery Road and travel 1 mile. Turn left on a dirt road leading to the parking area for the picnic grounds. “Land Trust” signs will be posted at the dirt road. Please remember this event will be held outdoors, under the pavilion cover. Bring a jacket, sunglasses and drinking water for personal use after breakfast. Dress appropriately for unpredictable weather, and carpool if you can.

EVLT is supported through the memberships of individuals and businesses who wish to preserve the Estes Valley’s unique mountain landscapes for future generations to enjoy.

Why An English Conversation Cafe?
Who Transformed the Presidency and America. His commentary has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and on FoxNews.com. Don't miss this exciting and educational presentation on Tuesday, July 12, 2016. The public is welcome.
Every summer, the Estes Valley employs workers from all over the world to support its bustling tourism. It is never a surprise, then, to meet someone from Uzbekistan, China, or Colombia when you lodge or dine in Estes Park. Many of these workers are students who come to Estes Park to practice their English skills within the context of the service industry. Our year-round community also includes workers from different countries, and many of these individuals study English as well through opportunities available in the community, especially during the school year. This summer, in keeping with its vision, “A literate, informed and enriched Estes Valley,” the Estes Valley Library is sponsoring an “English Conversation
Café,” to provide support to workers from other countries as well as our yearround employees to practice their English speaking skills. English language learners of all skill levels are welcome to join this fun and informal opportunity over a cup of coffee or tea. It doesn’t matter what your vocabulary or conversational needs are, native English speakers are prepared to converse with you. The English Conversation Café meets every Wednesday evening, through August 31, 7-8 p.m., at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue, across from the Estes Park Elementary School. For more information, contact Leonor Kennell, lkennell@estesvalleylibrary.org or (970) 5868116, ext.836.

Glen Haven Fire Department Pancake Breakfast Saturday, July 16
Photos courtesy Marsha Hobert
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year again! Mark your calendar and save Saturday morning, July 16th to enjoy a delicious breakfast at the Glen Haven Firehouse. Hosted by the volunteer firefighters and auxiliary, breakfast will feature pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, juice and coffee for $6 for adults and $4 for children. It will be served from 7:00 to 11:00 and the event will include a bake sale and silent auction. The recent structure fires make us more aware of the importance of the courageous and skilled men and women who give their time to preserve our communities. During the Fox Creek fire in April, firefighters created a shuttle operation to transport water nearly a mile. Although they were unable to save the home, they did succeed in preventing the fire from spreading to neighboring homes and the adjacent forest. In March, the GHAVFD assisted with the apart-
ment fire in Estes Park and the house fire in Drake, and in May with a wildfire on the Drake side of Crosier Mountain. Clearly, we need the Glen Haven Area Volunteer Fire Department. The annual Pancake Breakfast is a major source of revenue for the GHAVFD. Funds help support training programs and equipment maintenance. The community of Glen Haven is neither a municipality nor a taxing district. Donations and grants are the sole source of funding for the Department. GHAVFD is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit Colorado corporation. All contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. If you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation to GHAVFD, P. O. Box 53, Glen Haven, CO 80532. The road construction crews will not be working on July 16, so come on down and join in the fun.
Feeling Homesick For Estes Park To The Editor: I lived in Estes Park, Colorado. A place where the community loves one another and the environment around them. As the mountains stand before you, the colors, wildlife, sounds of the Big Thompson River and music fills your senses. This places sinks into your soul, never to release your spirit, never to fade from your memory. I dream of my town and wake up in the place where I was born. Fine in its own way, the place where my family resides. All the while my heart stays in Estes Park. When I return, it's as if I never left. Many places change too much to remain
pure in their original perfection. Still, I can also return in my mind to my home in the mountains. It's not imagination.. I am transported, knowing so many nooks and crannies.. so many beautiful moments.. so many beautiful people. Word to the wise.. If you are ever lucky enough to be a part of Estes Park, you will never be the same. If you leave after experiencing its greatness, its people, its unparalleled beauty, you will need to learn a new appreciation for your new home; or your old home in my case. Me.. I'm still working on it. Janice Mason Former Estes Park resident

¿Por qué tenemos un Café de Conversación en Inglés?
Cada verano, los negocios del valle de Estes emplean a trabajadores de todo el mundo para apoyar su activo turismo, por lo que nunca es una sorpresa conocer a alguien de Uzbekistán, China, o Colombia cuando cena afuera o se aloja en Estes Park. Muchos de estos trabajadores son estudiantes que vienen a Estes Park para practicar sus habilidades de inglés en el contexto de los negocios de la alimentación y el alojamiento. Nuestra comunidad que vive aquí todo el año, también incluye a trabajadores de diferentes países, y muchos de estos individuos estudian inglés, a través de las oportunidades disponibles en la comunidad, especialmente durante el año escolar. Este verano, de acuerdo con su visión, "Un valle de Estes informado, enriquecido, y de lectores” el Estes Valley Library ofrece un "Café de Conversación en In-
glés” para proveer apoyo a los trabajadores de otros países, así como a nuestros empleados de todo el año para practicar su conversación. Estudiantes de todos los niveles de inglés son bienvenidos a reunirse con nosotros a esta oportunidad divertida e informal con una taza de café o té. No importa cuál sea su necesidad específica de conversación o el vocabulario que quiera aprender, hablantes nativos de inglés están dispuestos a conversar con usted. El Café de Conversación en Inglés se reúne todos los miércoles, hasta el 31 de agosto de las 7:00 a las 8:00 p.m., en la iglesia Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Avenida Brodie, frente a la escuela primaria de Estes Park.

Last week’s Sacramento celebration bore witness to the enduring DNA of their larger-than-life presences, lovingly remembered by thousands. This column could end here, but a postscript attests to the abiding significance of the CCC. Walter Lippmann observed that the true test of a leader is whether she or he engenders in others the will to carry on. Today across America, the national service imperative thrives because imaginative social entrepreneurs have created a multi-hued panoply of federal, state, municipal and community programs engaging tens of thousands: AmeriCorps, City Year, Conservation Legacy, Public Allies, YouthBuild, Student Conservation Association and Points of Light Foundation, among many others. Colorado alone boasts corps operating in Larimer, Weld and Boulder counties, and as well in Durango, Salida, Denver, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction and Steamboat Springs. Under the aegis of the Colorado Youth Corps Association (CYCA) these programs engage almost 1500 youth in trailbuilding, habitat restoration, vocational training and the civic engagement and leadership development pioneered in the CCC. CYCA executive director Scott Segerstrom speaks glowingly about the

independent local corps: “We offer opportunities to serve and then earn an education award which varies in size according to time of service. We distribute $1.2 million in education awards to young people; for many this is their first job experience.” “But a beginning?” No, WHAT a beginning! Imagine the next forty years as additional states and communities harness the idealism and talent of young Americans from all backgrounds. After being tested in the arena of real work they will fathom in their bone marrow the pride Mitchell Lanphere captured as he reflected on his CCC experience: “We are trailblazers, fire fighters, construction workers, cooks, lumberjacks, road workers, drivers and supply. We all hold the honor of upholding the name of the California Conservation Corps.” Smithsonian magazine once asserted that the CCC earned the right, as few others have, to speak about the nature of work. If you agree with the poet Marge Piercy that “a person cries out for work that is real,” why not make this purposeful rite of passage available to all young Americans? This country needs more thinking workers like the women and men of the CCC. Next column: The Long Payoff. Estes Park. Nice town. Nice people. Reader response welcome: ATL7522@gmail.com

IT WAS A WONDERFUL FOURTH OF JULY “And so to life we turn again…” That’s a phrase from a hymn in many hymn books. It reminds us that after a significant event and remembrance that we have to return to normal life and move on. That is certainly the truth with this past holiday. This was a great experience for many of us. We had a large contingent of people from along the Front Range…over 80 in all… who joined us for our ‘Extravaganza’ celebration at our building on Fish Creek. We shared hotdogs and trimmings before a great sharing of vocal skills in our Karaoke singing. This was followed by a patriotic devotional with video presentations by John Wayne: “America, why I love her” and Red Skelton: “The Pledge of Allegiance” and the Texas Tenors singing: “God bless the USA” and our own voices joined in singing patriotic songs before taking to our chairs in the parking lot to watch our excellent Estes Park fireworks…they are the best. You’re invited to join us next year. However, after watching and hearing things that show us what a great nation we have and pay tribute to the men and women heroes who have served, fought, even died, to preserve our freedoms and make our nation great, a day later, we ‘turn again to life’. The media reminds us of accusations against one candidate or another, criticisms and insults are leveled against one another. It makes us shake our heads at the difference from our recent remembrances. Where are people who are like those who have made such contributions to our nation in the past? Where are those sacrificial and selfless people that are willing to serve the nation, for the good of all, rather than personal gain and recognition? We will have to decide if such are available and do our best to appoint them to public office. There are such people, of that we are convinced, but sometimes it is difficult to ferret them out and put them where they can serve. One of my greatest encouragers at times like this is that there is a much higher Power involved in the putting in and taking out world leaders. The Bible reminds us of that, although sometimes we have cause to wonder. But we have faith. I like the words that we read at our patriotic devotional Monday evening. Let me share them. “It is God who holds the nations in the hollow of His hand. It is God whose light is shining in the darkness of the land. It is God who builds His city on the Rock and not the sand. It is God whose purpose summons us to use the present hour; Who recalls us to our senses when a nation’s life turns sour; In the discipline of freedom we shall know His saving power. When a thankful nation, looking back, has cause to celebrate those who win our admiration by their service to the State; When self-giving is a measure of the greatness of the great. The Living God be praised! God reminds us every sunrise that the world is ours on lease-for the sake of life tomorrow may our love for it increase; May all races live together, share in riches, be at peace. The Living God be praised!” (Fred Pratt Green, 1976)

Plot Twists & Mischief In The Fine Arts Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seven Keys To Baldpate The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies and the Baldpate Inn enthusiastically present the fast-paced, light-hearted Seven Keys to Baldpate as readers' theater in the outdoor Key-thedral on Friday July 8th and 15th at 7 p.m.; Saturday July 9th and 16th at 7 p.m.; and Sunday July 10th and 17th at 3 p.m. Denver director James Valone-veteran actor, dramaturge, writer, and professor--brings a lifetime of experience to the cast and the Baldpate stage. In this contemporary version of the play Seven Keys to Baldpate (original script by George M. Cohan), Magee, a mystery novelist, makes a bet with her friend and owner of the Baldpate Inn. The wager centers on a challenge to write a 10,000 word novel in 24 hours. The winner of the bet receives $ 5,000! To this end, Olivia Magee sequesters herself--in the dead of winter--in the remote, rustic, summer mountain resort of Baldpate Inn. She assumes that she has the only key. As the evening wears on,
the inn becomes the rendezvous for several mysterious characters (all of whom have keys of their own) and the site of a startling murder. Just as Magee begins to put the clues together, the lock in the door clicks. The seventh key! The cast, a fine combination of regional and local talent, includes OD Duhu as Magee, Marla Kalin, Adam Cahn, Tricia King, Michael Dzik, Becky Browning, Cynthia Elkins, Joan Parlette, Rik Forschmiedt, Lo Anne Forschmiedt, and Kathy Littlejohn. Tickets are available for $15 by calling the Baldpate Inn (970) 586-6151 or at the door. Enjoy entertaining theater and the summer out-of-doors. In the event of significant rain, performances will move inside, so plan to attend regardless of weather. To learn the amusing climactic dual plot twist that concludes Seven Keys to Baldpate, please join the Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies and the Baldpate Inn for an enjoyable evening of readers' theater.

By: Rita DuChateau
A great turnout, a gorgeous day and some fabulous prizes created a successful Rotary Scholarship Benefit Golf Tournament on June 25, according to the event chairman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2016 event drew 57 golfers, and many said that it was a fun tournament,â&#x20AC;? said Bruce Carmichael, chairman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are still collecting sponsor pledges and paying our bills, so I can't give official fundraising results, but I believe we have well exceeded our goal of $10,000,â&#x20AC;? he added. A complete list of sponsors and prize donors will be available within a week, he added. The event winners were: 1st Place Team: Bruce Carmichael, Greg Yager, Bill Davis, Katie Shilts 2nd Place Team: Dale Berg, John Micek, Nancy Micek, Audrey Ault 3rd Place Team: Morgan Mulch, James Carnell, Rich Flanery, Mike Louk

Most importantly, the funds we raise for scholarships make college a little more affordable for our local students,â&#x20AC;? Carmichael said.
Genealogical Society Meeting The Estes Park Genealogical Society will meet on Thursday, July 14th at 4 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. Our speaker Ellen Kowitt will talk about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Planting Your Tree for the Next Generation by Sharing Family History Research.â&#x20AC;? Genealogists are often very good at finding documents and people to create a family tree. But, ensuring that hard earned research and materials are properly preserved and distributed to extended family, to libraries and archives, or online requires thought, preparation and tools. Together, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll explore practical and creative ways to share research in print, online, audio, video,
and with arts and crafts. Plan to share, and tell us about how you have creatively shared your genealogy.

Two Local Favorites-Steve Smersh & Friends & The EP Jazz Big Band With generous support from donations by The Barrel, Mueller & Associates, and Coldwell Banker Estes Village Properties, the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park will present two local favorites at its free LIVE! concert series at Performance Park next week. Wednesday, July 13, Steve Smersh & Friends, 7 p.m. Steve Smersh moved to Estes Park with his family in 1954. Dad worked for the Rocky Mountain National Park and mom owned and operated the Nifty Cafe in two different locations until around 1976. While attending high school here in Estes Park and while at CSU, he worked summers on the trail and boundary crews for Rocky Mountain National Park, fire control aid for Roosevelt National Forest, helped at mom’s restaurant, and sang “folk” songs at Andy Anderson’s steak fry and Crag’s Lodge. He joined the North Anna Singers, a Civil War ballad group, while a student at CSU. With a banjo, two guitars and upright base, they’d run out on stage with khaki pants and vertically striped shirts trying their best to look like the Kingston Trio and sound like the Modern Folk Quartet. After college, Smersh sang with several weekend bands. One of them, Harley Junction, was the weekend house band at “The Inn Between” a restaurant / bar in Broomfield for almost two years. From 2005 to 2009, he turned into a balladeer of sorts, playing solo at local bars and restaurants in Mexico. He put together a “Bob Dylan” hour and an
“Oldies Hour” during those years mostly 50s, 60s and 70s ballads and rock along with a few original songs. Winter seasons beginning 2009 he sang with the talented Elba Santiago, a Mexican mariachi singer. Pab (Paul Adams) joined them in 2011, refining their sound with his tasteful percussion. In the summer of 2015 Smersh performed over 40 gigs, including, It’s Showtime, The Duck Race, The Farmers Market, The Barrel, Performance Park, Molly B, Kind Coffee, Chelito’s and The Old Gallery in Allenspark. He currently perform at various places around Estes Park and work in home-based studio on FleetFootage web site videos, and 2 more CDs. Thursday, July 14, 2016, Estes Park Jazz Big Band, 7 p.m. Local favorite, the Estes Park Jazz Big Band will take the stage with their lively renditions of classic jazz tunes. The Estes Park Jazz Big Band is made up of musicians from Estes Park and surrounding communities. The group is a member of the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park. The band is a past recipient of a community service grant funded by the town of Estes Park. For the 18th year, the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park is presenting its free "Night Live" free concert series, this year held on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Performance Park. This amazing outdoor venue is accessible to all who would like to attend; lawn chairs, blankets, umbrellas and layered clothing are recommended for comfort. Freewill donations from those attending are appreciated to keep this program thriving.

EP High School To Continue Water Monitoring Project “Our most recent focus has been on a branch of Fish Creek as it flows down toward the lake,” said Greer “it has been a great study because that stream has been impacted by several issues, both manmade and natural, so sometimes the changes are very dramatic.”
Page 33
Greer said EPEC also offers elementary school monitoring programs through the St. Vrain School District in Lyons. Fifth grade students conduct a similar series of tests on the waters of the St. Vrain.
Estes Park students (L-R) Uvaldo Erives and Evan Tasker test the turbidity of Fish Creek water while Javier Perez takes a sample reading and relays the information to Becca Smith for input into the database.
Estes Park High School students will continue monitoring surface water qualities in a cooperative program with the Estes Park Environmental Center (EPEC). The program, launched in 2010, allows students in the Environmental Sciences classes to sample, test and record observations in a database maintained by EPEC. Alex Harris, Environmental Education instructor at the High School, says the programs allow students to understand how quickly things can change when it comes to surface water. “Even the most seemingly minor changes in the basin that creates any stream has impact on what the stream is,
what it does and what’s in it,” said Harris who has taught at EPHS since 2015. Soil disruption through excavation or erosion obviously has a major impact on the creeks and streams but others are much more difficult to pin down. “Topical applications of fertilizers, herbicides and other chemicals are much more invisible….unless you regularly monitor the stream bed,” according to Harris. Maisie Greer, Field Research Coordinator for EPEC, says the Environmental Center provides the equipment, supplies and additional expertise for the monitoring programs, which includes several procedures including turbidity, identification of macro-invertebrates and pH testing.

Summer Financial Classes Hosted By The Estes Valley Library Common Cents Counts, the Estes Valley Library’s financial education program, announces another series of basic financial classes to be held this summer. In partnership with the YMCA of the Rockies, the programs will take place in the informal environment of the Y’s Maude Jellison Library, an ideal gathering place for summer residents, full-time residents and guests, with plenty of parking and lots of comfortable chairs. Beginning Wednesday, July 6th at 6:30 p.m., the first of five classes, Goal Setting and Financial Planning, will take place. The YMCA has reserved its library for classes each Wednesday night for five weeks, inviting all interested staff, guests, and Estes Park residents to attend. Classes held in this charming setting will not be intimidating! The YMCA’s Library is a comfortable, stress-free environment. Anyone (and any age) who is interested in learning money management skills is welcome. There’s no need to register, although the series is posted on the Estes Valley Library’s event calendar with additional information about the content of each class. Why would anyone want to spend leisurely summer hours learning how to manage money? Research has shown more than half of Americans do not have financial capability. They do not save for retirement; they hold revolving credit card debt paying high interest; they do not understand investing; and they do not pay their bills on time. The “how-to” of these issues is not difficult. These classes will provide useful concepts and information designed to re-
duce stress and improve financial health. All seminars will be approximately one hour in length on Wednesdays beginning in July. The first seminar (July 6th) covers basic money management skills: budgeting, tracking spending, and goal setting. Seminar two (July 13th) explains key investment concepts necessary for long term investing. Seminar three (July 20th) discusses tax advantage investing specifically for retirement planning. The fourth seminar (July 27th) covers core investment choices. The fifth seminar (August 6th) reviews simple strategies for managing money during the relaxing years of retirement. It’s easy to find the Maude Jellison Library at the YMCA. Go to the YMCA’s main entrance off Highway 66 (Tunnel Road). Stay to the right going up the hill on Association Drive until you reach the first left turn (Longhouse Way). Turn left and wind up the hill until you see Longhouse on your right. Turn right into the first entrance to the parking lot for Longhouse and bear to the right of Longhouse on the dirt road. The first building on your right is the Women’s Building; the second building (set back) is the Maude Jellison Library. A map of the YMCA grounds is available on their website at www.ymcarockies.org The financial series of Common Cents Counts is easy and provides all the information necessary for a lifetime of astute money management. It’s free, no registration is necessary, parking is available, and the information is tested and proven to be beneficial. A few hours spent in class this summer will prove a great investment!

Kara will also discuss her pattern “Into the Woods” that the guild is adapting and making as a guild project for the Fairgrounds Event Center, Silo Room. Please join us for this inspiring evening with Kara. Kara took an interest in the “quilt revival” that began in the 70s, first exploring traditional patchwork quilting patterns and then moving on to creating her own designs for bed quilts, patchwork clothing, and small quilts intended as visual art. Since 1990 she has published patterns under the name Seams & Dreams, selling primarily wholesale to independent retailers. Over the past twenty years she has also created textile/fiber art pieces and has learned basic upholstery skills. She produces fiber art and does custom upholstery work under the name Green Chair Studios (www.greenchairstudios.biz). She is currently represented by Aspen & Evergreen Gallery in Estes Park. Kara lives and works in Highlands Ranch, CO. If you are visiting in Estes Park, love to quilt and would like to join us, please do. We would love to have you visit with us. We do ask for a nominal fee of $10, which helps to cover the costs we incurred for our speakers.
Recycling Updates hutch. It is best to call first or take a photo and show them what you have before transporting large items. This shop also, occasionally, offers limited assistance with transportation. Elizabeth Guild accepts no furniture. No thrift shop may accept used mattresses (by law). Take them to CHaRM in Boulder for recycling. Putting my “money where my mouth is,” I decided that the best way to write an article on what the thrift shops carry was to go shopping. Although all three shops take credit cards, we took $40 in cash, $10 for each store, including Lizzie’s Boutique (wholly owned by the Elizabeth Guild). We went on Saturday of a holiday weekend and found a steady stream of patrons everywhere we visited. My husband was primarily looking for “new” shirts. At Village Thrift Shop, he found four to his liking. Having recently broken some stemware, I searched the extensive glassware collection and found many nice pieces, but nothing similar to what we had lost. I’ll try again. Since his shirts totaled $9.73 with tax, we checked out and proceeded to the next store. At Community Thrift Shop we bought a desk file, a rose bowl, a flower pot, and three books. At the Elizabeth Guild, we purchased jewelry, four more shirts, a desk lamp, and a mirrored tray (Lizzie’s). By this time our $40 was nearly gone so we took our “new” treasures home. Next month maybe we will take our family teenagers on the thrift shopping excursion.

William Francus Teague William Francis Teague died June 18, 2016 at the Boulder Manor Rehabilitation facility. He was preceded in death by his wife Carol whom he married in 1964. Bill was born May 11, 1938 in Chapman, Kansas. He earned Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees from the University of Kansas. Bill and Carol resided in Allenspark, Colorado, since 1995 where he enjoyed living in the mountains and outdoor activities. Mr. Teague served as an elder in Allenspark Community Church giving direction to Missions and Community Outreach. This past year Bill led the church in a free pancake breakfast for the community and also a chili lunch, helping the church build bridges into the community. Church was a very important part of his life. He was also involved in Community Bible Study that meets weekly in Estes Park. For several years Bill and his wife Carol delivered the Longmont Times Call paper in Allenspark and the surrounding areas. One of his favorite sto-
ries is the morning they dropped off papers at Peaceful Valley and hearing the back door open and shut Bill assumed that Carol was in the car. He drove off and soon realized she was not, since no one seemed to be responding to his conversation. He went back to get her! Together, Bill and Carol explored the Southwest, finding great enjoyment in their trips to New Mexico and the southern parts of Colorado. He was a bit of an expert on hikes, jeep roads, history, and southwest towns. They were a team, and greatly loved by the people of their community. A Memorial Service will be held at the Allenspark Community Church on Saturday morning the 16th of July at 10:00 a.m. The church is located across from the post office in the center of town. Dr. Teague is to be interned at the Estes Valley Memorial Gardens. He is survived by his sister Janet and sons Kyle and Bryan. The family requests any memorial be made to the Allenspark Community Church, P.O. Box 45, Allenspark, CO, 80510-0045.
