Welcome to our small mountain paradise! At 7,522, we neighbor Rocky Mountain National Park.

Pika

When traveling to the alpine areas of the mountains, keep your eye out for these cute little guys, the pika.

They live in rocky areas and are often heard before they are seen. They are now busy trying to store grasses to sustain them through the winter months.

The Director of the Intermountain Region, National Park Service (NPS), has signed a decision document that will enable the NPS Dam Safety Program to repair the Sprague Lake Dam in Rocky Mountain National Park. Although the dam is classified as having a Low Hazard Potential by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), repairing the dam would help to protect park natural resources, cultural resources, and infrastructure such as trails, roads, and bridges in the event of a flood.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to evaluate alternatives and the potential impacts associated with repairing the dam or maintaining the status quo.

The repairs to the Sprague Lake Dam consist of adding a seepage control berm, spillway improvements, slightly increasing the elevation of the dam crest in select locations, stump and tree removal from the dam, and construction of an inlet control structure that will limit flows into Sprague Lake to the capacity of the spillways. Flows greater than a 10-year flood will be diverted over Sprague Lake Road and conveyed via an existing drainage to Glacier Creek. The lake side of the dam will be armored with riprap to prevent erosion. Upon completion of the spillway improvements on the north side of the lake, a new pedestrian bridge will be constructed over the spillway.

A temporary access road will be constructed in the fall of 2016, to provide access to the dam. The dam repairs will be done in the fall of 2017. During the fall of 2017, portions of the accessible trail around Sprague Lake will be closed during the repair work.

Town Honors Volunteers With Musical Art Installation On Riverwalk Dedication ceremony August 31 to honor 2015 volunteers The Town of Estes Park is honoring its dedicated volunteers, including the 450 individuals who served in 2015, with an ensemble of three interactive musical art installations along the Riverwalk. The instruments were installed this summer and a dedication ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 31 at 9 a.m. at the site of the installation. A plaque will be installed to honor the volunteers.

In 2015, 486 volunteer roles were filled by 453 volunteers, meaning 33 people volunteered for more than one position. These volunteers contributed a total of 38,131 hours. According to federal government data, the value of a volunteer’s time is equivalent to $25.10 per hour in Colorado. Volunteers therefore gave time worth $957,091.61 to the community through the Town in

2015.

Previously the Town held an annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon. Attendance for this event has been in decline, yet volunteer managers in various Town departments report their smaller, individual recognition events have almost perfect attendance. Moving forward, the Town will provide resources to continue promoting these individual, departmental events to recognize and thank its volunteers. The Town could not provide such a high level of service without the help of its volunteers.

EPNEWS.COM

He was born in North Bend, near the southwest corner of Ohio, not far from Cincinnati, on August 22nd 1833, the son of a farmer who would be elected to two terms in Congress. He was short and stocky. Like his family elders he was a political Whig, and when that party gradually evolved into the new Republican Party he joined it. He attended Miami University --that’s in Ohio, not Florida --- and then studied law in Cincinnati before moving to Indianapolis where, in 1853, he married Caroline Scott.

During the Civil War he rose to the rank of brigadier general.

Returning home from that conflict he became a highly successful lawyer, an active Republican, and prominent in Indianapolis society. He ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1876. What issues did he actively promote? Civil service reform, railroad regulation, and labor legislation. He also Benjamin championed Civil War veterans, homesteaders, and the native Indians.

In 1881 he was elected to the United States Senate, serving there into 1887. He promoted admitting western territories as new states. Since he was only five foot six inches tall, it was perhaps only natural that his colleagues called him “Little Ben.” On the one hand he was a convincing speaker; he had a good public style. On the other hand he was not so good talking one on one with individuals. One writer has regarded him as a “loner.” It appears that he didn’t like campaigning for public office.

When he did campaign it was usually from his office on Delaware Street in Indianapolis.

In 1888 it took eight ballots at the Republican Party national convention before he was nominated by the party for the office of President of the United States. His opponent was the incumbent Grover Cleveland.

(And if you want to learn some not so notable trivia, Cleveland’s real first name was . . . Stephen. Try that on your friends some time.) The presidential campaign of 1888 has been described by more than one historian as a dirty one. When you total the popular vote in the election Cleveland received roughly 90,000 more votes.

BUT – as you know, in our presidential elections the only votes that really count are the votes in the Electoral College. It is now widely believed that in 1888 fraudulent election returns were reported from Rhode Island, New York, Ohio and Indiana. The result was that the new President of the United States, our twenty-third, and the subject of this column was . . . Benjamin Harrison.

Once elected Harrison disappointed many of his supporters who doubtless expected to receive at least minor political positions or governmental contracts. He did increase civil service jobs and one of his appointments went to Theodore Roosevelt to be Civil Service commissioner. At same time he rewarded Pennsylvanian John Wanamaker by naming him postmaster general in appreciation of the latter’s contributions to his presidential campaign. His cabinet appointments reflected the sources of funds for his campaign. Has it ever been otherwise?

In office Harrison became a very efficient bureaucrat greatly involved with adminis-

trative details. Political matters he left to the Republican Party leaders in Congress who got him nominated, and presumably elected. As a private man he was uncomfortable with those assigned to protect him. He liked privacy; he winced at the men supposedly assigned to shield him from the public. An early riser, he preferred to walk alone about the White House grounds. His work day was long. He involved himself in the most minute details of government. The White House was run with great efficiency. He never complained about the burdens he assumed.

To his countrymen he may have appeared as the political leader. He wasn’t. To himself he was the head administrator.

He worked --- hard and long. He overworked; he was not one to delegate authority. During his administration leadHarrison ers in Congress such as William McKinley, congressman from Ohio, and Thomas Reed (“Czar Reed”) of Maine determined national policies. Harrison learned the details of governmental administration. His White House was an example of bureaucratic efficiency. If leadership was not his forte, administrative detail was. One could say he was in decided contrast to, for example, William McKinley, who would later be a presidential disappointment, but who knew how to run Congress. Under Harrison national policy was made by the Republican leadership in Congress, not in the White House.

Harrison sought better conditions for railroad workers, pensions for veterans, and enlargement of the navy. Secretary of State James Blaine had played a significant role in Harrison’s nomination, and would do so in the actual election. With electoral victory he continued in that post and as the political leader of the Republican party. All went well for the Republicans until the midterm elections in 1890 when they lost control in Congress.

President Harrison was never able to lead the public in support of his policies. His intelligence, courage and honesty were never enough to influence legislation. The world of practical politics was not his. His intellect and practical honesty were never enough to carry the day. His presidency has often been described as minimal, inactive, and even by some writers as corrupt. That just ain’t fair. He may have had great difficulty dealing with the practical politicians in Congress, but as for the party itself it lost control of Congress in 1890.

Then in 1892 Harrison and the Republican Party lost the presidency. The New President? Grover Cleveland, who had been elected to his FIRST term as President back in 1884, but whom Harrison had defeated in the 1888 election. So Harrison quietly went home to Indianapolis, returned to the practice of law, and in 1896 married the widowed Mrs. Mary Dimmick.

He died in March 1901. One biographer concludes that he was “greater as a man than as a president.”

And his great distinction? He has been the only President (so far) whose grandfather was also a President of the United States. Then who??? William Henry Harrison!

Public’s Help Sought In Suspicious Fire Investigation 8/4/16 On August 3, 2016, at approximately 12:00 p.m., the Estes Valley Fire Protection District and a Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office deputy responded to a smoke report near the Lumpy Ridge Trailhead in Rocky Mountain National Park. They discovered a wildland fire burning an area approximately 50 feet by 50 feet and it was quickly extinguished.

The investigation revealed the fire was burning where someone was obviously camping, but camping is prohibited in that area. Witnesses reported seeing two white males in their late teens or early

twenties carrying camping equipment and supplies to that area just prior to seeing smoke. Unfortunately, no further descriptions of the two males were provided.

Anyone with information about this incident or the two aforementioned males is asked to contact Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office Investigator Justin Atwood at 970-498-5143. You may also contact Crime Stoppers at 970-221-6868 where you may remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a cash reward.

Repairs To Alluvial Fan, Ypsilon Lake And Lawn Lake Trails In RMNP The Director of the Intermountain Region, National Park Service (NPS), signed a decision document earlier this summer that enabled Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) to conduct repairs to the Alluvial Fan, Ypsilon Lake, and Lawn Lake Trails that were damaged in the September 2013 flood. Repair work has already begun on some sections. It will be a few years before the reroutes and repairs are completed on all three trails.

Following the September 2013 flood, RMNP prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate alternatives and the potential impacts associated with reestablishing five trails that were badly damaged during the flood: Twin Sisters, Aspen Brook, Alluvial Fan, Ypsilon Lake, and Lawn Lake. The purpose of the EA was to identify potential travel routes while protecting natural and cultural resources and preserving wilderness character. Park staff anticipate that a decision for the Aspen Brook and Twin Sisters trails will be made sometime in 2017.

The NPS selected Alternative B, Establish and Maintain a Travel Route (the NPS preferred alternative) for the Alluvial Fan, Ypsilon Lake, and Lawn Lake trails because the alternative best met the purpose and need for the project as well as the project objectives. A description of the selected action for the three trails follows.

Lawn Lake Trail – A new trail is being constructed around the four trail sections damaged or washed out, and limited improvements will be made to an existing informal trail. Trail tread will be about 3 feet wide, with trail clearing limits 6 feet wide by 10 feet high. Pedestrian and equestrian use will be allowed.

Ypsilon Lake Trail – A new timber foot bridge has been constructed across the Roaring River. New trail approaches on either side of the river are being constructed, with a trail tread about 3 feet wide, and trail clearing limits approximately 6 feet wide by 10 feet high. Pedestrian and equestrian use will be allowed on the trail, but equestrian use will not be allowed on the bridge, instead a horse stream crossing will be established.

Alluvial Fan Trail – A new accessible trail will be constructed between the existing east and west parking lots with a new bridge across the Roaring River. An accessible overlook trail to Horseshoe Falls will be constructed. A 150-foot portion of the accessible trail will extend into designated wilderness to reach the overlook. The trail tread will be about 5 to 6 feet wide, with trail clearing limits approximately 8 feet wide by 8 feet high.

Only pedestrian and accessible use will be allowed.

Special Evening Program-Longs Peak: Experience The Keyhole Route

Do you aspire to reach the summit of Longs Peak? Are you inspired by the lofty rock faces and pinnacles of Rocky Mountain National Park’s highest mountain? Join climbing rangers Everett Phillips and Mitch Musci, on a photographic journey to the top, and back down safely. This free program will be held Thursday, August 18, and Friday, August 26, at 7:30 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. Mitch and Everett will present aspiring mountaineers with a realistic picture of the challenges encountered on Longs’ most popular adventure; the Keyhole Route.

Topics covered will include a detailed description of the route, an understanding of proper preparation, and strategies for a safe ascent.

Everett Phillips has been involved in mountain rescue work for over a decade. He has performed rescues with the park service at Denali, Mount Rainier, Yosemite and Rocky Mountain National Park. As a ranger on Longs Peak his interest in rescue has expanded to include risk management and acci-

dent prevention. He is inspired by the challenge of maintaining his sense of adventure while also becoming more responsible in his mountain excursions.

Mitch Musci grew up in Austin, Texas, and quickly gained an appreciation for the mountains through his family’s annual summer trips to the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. At the age of 12 he signed up for summer camp in Estes Park, and spent the next six summers hiking and backpacking throughout Rocky Mountain National Park.

These experiences inspired Mitch to study Outdoor Leadership at Western State College, and after graduation he began his career as an outdoor educator and climbing guide. Years of extensive climbing experience helped steer Mitch into his current position as a Longs Peak Climbing Ranger.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 5861206.

Junior Election Project Today, throughout the United States, we find that the majority of young adults do not vote and that teenagers or “prevoters” pay no attention to elections.

There is a lot of debate about the cause of this disenfranchisement. Is it the fault of the schools? Is it the fault of the parents? Is it the fault of the politicians and the system? Is it a reflection of the dispassionate electorate in general?

It doesn’t matter who we blame, the time to do something about this is here and now! We need to create a community that encourages participation in government as soon as a child develops an interest. We need to train our children to amass and evaluate information, to form their own opinions, and to be prepared to defend those opinions.

To paraphrase John Adams, it is the job of every citizen to encourage the next generation to read, think. speak, and write. The only way to develop these skills is to give our children an opportunity to practice them: at school, at home,

at our library, at scouts, at church, at Town Board meetings, at non-profit activities, and throughout the community.

In conjunction with the November election, the League of Women Voters of Estes Park plans to host a Junior Election this fall. Estes Park residents ages 5-17 will each have an opportunity to voice his or her opinion on specially designed ballots and our local newspapers will publish the results along side the usual election news.

Anyone interested in contributing to this effort (joining the committee, assisting local teachers, counting the votes) please contact Judi Smith lwv.yea@gmail.com Abraham Lincoln said, “The philosophy of the school room today is the philosophy of the government tomorrow.” If each of us goes out of our way to listen to our junior citizens and respect their opinions, this nation will reclaim its position as a leader of men (and women).

Why Promoting Consistency In Community Development Rules Is So Important By: Jon Nicholas President/CEO Estes Park EDC

Zoning and development codes address many of a society’s most important concerns, including public health, safety and environmental protection.

But they can be financially detrimental to new businesses and polarizing to communities if they contain contradictory or vague language that needs to be interpreted. Consistency—the absence of contradictions— could be called the hallmark of logic.

Accordingly, the presence of contradictions and uncertainty can create community-wide concerns about the fairness of any system. Including municipal regulations.

Recently, the Town Board gave approval to the Lazy B Ranch project after much financial expense to the owners and fierce public opposition. At the July 25 Town Board meeting, I commented to the Town Board that the conflicts over code interpretation within the approval process had revealed that in this instance (and in oth-

ers), a developer had to spend $80,000 to $100,000 to get an answer to the question of whether their proposed use was even allowed on the property. Town Attorney Greg White earlier noted that code conflicts within the Use Classification system are common for Estes Park. Such conflicting code language creates frustration for businesses, residents, town staff and the Town Board and Planning Commission. It also can discourage or frustrate projects that address generally agreed community needs or priorities.

The Estes Park EDC identified the need to address problems in the development code, building code and approval process over a year ago. The Economic Development Strategy, developed in 2015 with Avalanche Consulting, affirmed that this is a key issue for advancing economic vitality.

With a new Community Development Director, there should be an opportunity for Town to begin addressing this recommendation. The Estes Park EDC Commercial Development Code Committee can help to begin addressing concerns by

both identifying problems and suggesting possible solutions. The Board of Directors of the Estes Park EDC will also play an important role in ensuring that we provide feedback and suggestions that can lead to forward progress while recognizing our community’s character and values.

Workforce and affordable housing are also being affected by our current development code. The approval of two new Habitat for Humanity homes received a lot of public opposition from neighbors who feared that having Habitat homes in their neighborhood would depress property values. Here again, the Planning Commission recommended disapproval while the Town Board signaled its commitment to housing by approving the project unanimously.

One option suggested to improve predictability for all concerned is moving toward a form-based code system, rather than the current, traditional Use Classification system. The Form-Based Codes Institute describes it thus: “Form-based code is a land development regulation that fosters predictable built results and a high-quality public realm by using physical form (rather than separation of uses) as the organizing principle for the code. A form-based code is a regulation, not a mere guideline, adopted into city, town, or county law. A form-based

code offers a powerful alternative to conventional zoning regulation.”

Adopting a form-based code would take careful study. Such a solution would represent a longer-term effort, but may afford both residents and businesses greater predictability than the current use classification system. A form-based code could first be implemented as part of the downtown neighborhood planning process.

Visit the Estes Park EDC Facebook page and you will find a posting concerning adoption of a form-based code for downtown Chattanooga.

The regulatory environment in cities and towns should be designed to help small businesses open safely and quickly, not create unnecessary hurdles for business owners. Neighborhood residents desire the same kind of certainty concerning what will and will not be allowed. In the long-term, Estes Park can more effectively serve both residents and business owners when they understand the “rules of the road” when it comes to permitting, licensing and zoning.

Changes will ultimately require approval by both the Town Board and Larimer County Commissioners due to the joint planning area for the Estes Valley. Let’s hope we can begin the discussion about how to improve our community while preserving our mountain character.

Community Center Public Meeting August 18th at 6:00 p.m.

The Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) is holding a public meeting to review progress on the Estes Valley Community Center Thursday, Aug. 18 at 6 p.m. in the Estes Park High School Commons, 1600 Manford Ave. EVRPD staff and representatives from project architect Ohlson Lavoie Collaborative will be presenting updates on the site

plan, floor plans and construction schedule. Light refreshments will be provided.

After gaining key development-review approvals from the Town of Estes Park in July and August, plans for the Estes Valley Community Center have shifted into the final phases of design, with preliminary mobilization and construction expected to begin in late September.

The community center is being constructed within the Estes Park School District R-3 campus. The facility will encompass approximately 65,000 square feet and will adjoin the existing aquatics center, which will be partially renovated in conjunction with the construction of the community center.

Correspondence and questions regarding this project should be directed to Tom Carosello, EVRPD Executive Director, at (970) 586-8191 Ext. 6, or tomc@evrpd.com. To learn more about the Estes Valley Community Center, visit www.evrpd.com.

EPNEWS.COM We all agree that Rocky Mountain National Park is a magical place (that is if you can snag a parking place near your intended trailhead. Otherwise, the magic is—abracadabra—all parking spaces have vanished into thin air by 7:10 in the morning).

Let’s say you manage to find parking when and where you want it. In that case, the park begins to flirt with you. She shows off all over the place, from her grandiose mountains to her tiny tundra flowers—every feature tantalizing. The park is gorgeous and we can’t help but fall in love with her.

We are not alone in our adoration. More than four million people had a date with our park last year and visitation is up 12 percent so far in 2016. Because her dance card is filling up so fast, it is important that we take good care of our beauty so she doesn’t drop dead from exhaustion.

This was made apparent to me today as I hiked along the Ute Trail off of Trail Ridge Road. It’s way up there at 11,500 feet where the tufts of low-growing plants struggle to make a go against the high winds, extreme cold and deep snow. (A third of RMNP is tundra.)

Before I got out of the car (we found a parking spot right at the trailhead!), I watched a guy and his dog start off-trail across the tender tundra. I was busy layering up with jackets, gloves and a hat so I didn’t get a chance to speak with him, but I did talk with his wife, waiting for him in their car.

I used the approach I was taught as a hikemaster: “You probably don’t know that…” This is so the person I am talking with can save face, pretending not to know even if they do.

So I said to the wife, “You probably don’t know that dogs aren’t allowed on the trails, and especially off-trail on the tundra.” I pointed with my head toward the man and his dog off in the distance.

She was nice about it, claiming she wasn’t aware about the no-pets-on-the-tun-

dra rule, and said she’d tell her husband when he got back with his dog.

That was all. I went on my way, wondering how many people know the regulation about not having dogs in the park and how many think the rule doesn’t apply to them.

(Leashed dogs are allowed only on roads, in parking areas, and in established camping and picnic areas. Unleashed dogs simply aren’t allowed.)

The Ute Trail hike was terrific, except that it was crowded, which means lots of hikers were trekking along next to the trail to accommodate two-way traffic.

That would have been well and good but most of those off-trail hikers were stepping all over the tundra rather than avoiding the tender plants by stepping on the abundance of rocks.

I imagined each clump of moss campion, old man in the mountain, and arctic gentian (my favorite) crying out as their roots ripped from the pebble-soil.

All their effort over decades—perhaps even centuries—to survive the harshest of winters was being stomped out in mere seconds. (The RMNP website tells us a tundra plant may measure only a quarterinch in diameter after five years of growth.)

For a while I tried to be a good Samaritan: “You probably don’t know that the tundra is extremely fragile…” but I soon gave up when my friendly suggestions were scoffed.

I did my part today to protect our beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park. I was genial in my effort to be informative.

That’s all I can do, other than to lead by example. If we fail to dote on our national park love interest, then abracadabra—she may vanish into thin air.

Great Governing Boards: Four-Part Series To Be Held In Estes Park Registration Open A solid foundation for your organization is imperative and it all starts with the governing board. The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center is pleased to announce that The Great Governing Boards Series, presented by Mark Holdt, Mountain Sage Consulting, in partnership with the Colorado Nonprofit Association is coming to Estes Park. The first session, How to Develop Great Governing Boards will be held on Tuesday, August 23 from 2-4 p.m. at the Estes Valley Library.

The ultimate governing board is not developed by accident, but rather through a series of intentional techniques to engage them appropriately at a high level with a strategic focus. Contrary to popular belief, CEOs/Executive Directors have far more control over the performance of their governing board than they might imagine. This workshop is intended for CEO’s/Executive Directors of all levels of experience and their board members.

With more than 30 years of experience, Mark Holdt, Owner of Mountain Sage Consulting, helps organizations create powerful visions and realize their potential. His diverse background provides a wealth of experiences that enable him to

view each client from a comprehensive perspective. Leader, visionary, coach, mentor, strategist, facilitator, motivator, educator, analyst and friend are all titles assigned to Mark by his clients.

Join us for an in-depth conversation on board governance. In this unique series, attendees in the first session will choose which topics are covered based on the community’s specific circumstances.

Learn the basics at the first session with How to Develop Great Governing Boards, then dive deeper into more advanced topics. Session dates for the series are: August 23, September 28, November 9 and January 18. All session are held from 2 – 4 p.m. at the Estes Valley Library.

The registration fee for the first workshop on August 23 is $45 for EPNRC/CNA members and $60 for nonmembers. You may also register for the whole series – EPNRC/CNA members $160, Nonmembers $230.

To register, please visit https://www.coloradononprofits.org/events/trainingand-events For additional information or questions, please contact Jill Lancaster, EPNRC Executive Director at director@epnonprofit.org.

Registration Now Open For Museum’s Table-Setting Contest Whimsy, tradition, and creativity all come together—along with those fancy tableware items packed in the home closet—for a new Estes Park event that will draw upon the popularity of table setting competitions around the country.

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation are welcoming entries for the inaugural Creative Colorado TableSettings event, a theme-related tablescape competition open to individuals, families, groups, and even children. The contest invites entrants to imagine a menu and design a table setting to match a particular theme. This year’s theme will be “High Country Celebrations — Past and Present.”

Creative Colorado TableSettings 2016 will take place over the weekend of October 21-23 at the Willome Building at the YMCA of the Rockies. Participants will set up their tables on that Friday afternoon, and the public will be invited to view the displays on Saturday and Sunday.

A panel of local judges will review all the entries on Friday evening, and prizes will be awarded to winners in each category (adult or child; formal or informal; contemporary or vintage; individual or commercial) and for Best in Show. In addition, a special prize will be given for the best historical menu and table setting that relates specifically to Estes Park. Complete directions and guidelines for the event, as well as entry forms, are available at the Estes Park Museum.

Planned as a museum fundraiser, the competition is open to individuals, families, social groups and commercial enterprises (shops, hotels, inns or restaurants) seeking to show-case their expertise in creating unique and beautiful table settings. Please note that the actual setup of each table will be the efforts of just one person—with assistance, if necessary, of one additional person. While designing a menu that is both thematic and appropriate to the occasion are important aspects of the contest, no cooking is required and no actual food is to be prepared.

This event marks the first such competition in Estes Park, inspired by similar table-setting competitions that have proven popular around the country. So dust off great-grandmother Sophie’s wedding china, or your mother’s fiesta ware, and use it in designing your own celebratory table.

Registration forms are available at the Estes Park Museum and online at http://estesparkmuseumfriends.org/creative-colorado-tablescapes/ The public is encouraged to watch for continuing announcements on this event—and to like it on Facebook at Creative Colorado Table Settings.

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Museum through fundraising, publications, volunteerism, special projects and events. More information on the organization is available by visiting www.estes-

August 17 Summer Enchanted Evening To Focus on Wildflowers!

From the plains to the mountains, Colorado is known for its magnificent displays of wildflowers. Come join Marlene Borneman Wednesday August 17 at 7:00 p.m to learn about the fascinating world of Colorado’s wildflowers. Marlene will be bringing her new book to sell and she will guide us on wildflower identification tips and reveal wildflower hikes in the Front Range. It all began in 1974 when Marlene first came to Colorado to work a summer job at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park.

Marlene is from New Orleans, yes below sea level! Marlene is sure there were bets she would not last a week! However, that summer Marlene quickly adjusted to mountain life and forty plus years later continues to strengthen her relationship with the mountains and flora of Colorado. Marlene credits her progression with meeting the right people that first summer.

Marlene began photographing wildflowers on her hiking and climbing adventures and gradually became more interested in the botany behind those glorious displays they provide us each summer. Photographing wildflowers and their habitats soon became a deep pas-

sion. She studied Colorado’s flora with the Colorado Native Plant Society and Colorado State University Extension office Native Plant Masters courses. She has been a member of the Colorado Mountain Club since 1979. She has taught wildflower flora field courses for the Rocky Mountain Conservancy, is a contributor to the Colorado Native Plant Society, and is a mountain guide for Kirk’s Adventure Shop. Marlene has climbed all 54 Colorado’s 14ers, 126 USGS named peaks in RMNP and 36 state high points.

Marlene Borneman is the co-author of Rocky Mountain Wildflowers pack guide. She is the author of the newest book The Best Front Range Wildflower Hikes. Marlene has won several photo awards for wildflower and scenery photos. Marlene holds a master’s degree in Social Work and retired two years ago.

The Summer Enchanted Evenings at the Baldpate Inn, on Highway 7, are held every Wednesday throughout the summer beginning at 7:00 p.m. There is no charge, and refreshments in the Baldpate Key Room are provided. Consider joining us for dinner before the presentation and for more information or to make a reservation, call 970-586-KEYS (5397).

I left for New Orleans last Thursday and got back late Monday night. I went with Marie and Nathan and Lexie and we got to do all sorts of things. We visited friends in New Orleans then on to Lafayette, LA to be with Theresa and Ed and then traveled to Larose, LA to see my 94 year old sister while on our way to Grand Isle, LA to Theresa and Ed’s camp. We got a lot of visiting and traveling done in such a short time.

Ed now has a shrimp boat along with his big motor boat and a flat boat so fishing and a “shrimp-in” we all went.

You would not believe the beautiful large shrimp that we caught. I have to admit that it was hot out there in the boat but the excitement of the trip took our minds off of the heat, especially when the gulf breezes kicked in. Another way to cool off was to grab a bucket, fill it with the water from the gulf and just pour it over oneself. Of course you were then rather sticky from the salt water but no one cared, it was a blast. Oh by the way, Ed, my son-in-law, just does this for fun; he is a lawyer and petroleum engineer.

I never ate so much seafood since the last time I was in Louisiana. I was a little disappointed that it was not oyster or crawfish season but what’s a girl to do. I just had to gorge on red snapper, tuna, shrimp and crabs. Theresa fixed a delicious dish of shrimp and grits. Now for all of you that say…ugh…grits-- do not knock them if you have not tried a good dish of well cooked grits!

Since this serves four graciously and shrimp are in season now, I do not think this dish will break the bank and it is a nice summer meal.

Theresa’s Shrimp and Grits 2 diced slices of bacon 1 lb. medium or large peeled and deveined shrimp 1/8 tsp. salt ¼ tsp. black pepper

¼ cup flour 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms 2 tsp. canola or vegetable oil ½ cup chopped green onions 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup chicken broth 2 Tbs. lemon juice ¼ tsp. hot sauce Cook bacon in large skillet for 10 minutes or until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, reserving 1 Tbs. of drippings, may need a little more. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Sauté’ mushrooms in dripping until tender. Add green onions and sauté’ 2 minutes. Add shrimp and garlic and cook about two minutes. Stir in broth and lemon juice and hot sauce, stirring to get up all the good brown bits from the bottom. Spoon over hot grits and serve.

Cheese Grits 1 14 oz. can chicken broth 1 cup half and half ½ tsp. salt 1 cup quick cooking grits ¾ cup (3 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese (you may use 2 % reduced fat if you wish) ¼ cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese ½ tsp. hot sauce ¼ tsp. white pepper Grits: Bring first three ingredients and 1 1/3 cups of water to boil in medium saucepan over medium heat: gradually whisk in grits. Reduce heat to low and simmer while stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in rest of ingredients. Ooooo-la-la. This is delicious and well worth the effort.

Estes Park High School And FRCC College Now Partnership Most community members aren’t aware that the Estes Park High School has a partnership with the Front Range Community College and the College Now High School Select Program. The Estes Park School District R-3 believes strongly in encouraging the opportunity of education at a higher level.

College Now-High School Select is a concurrent enrollment program that provides the Estes Park High School students with the opportunity to take FRCC classes during their high school career and receive college credit for them. The Estes Park High School covers the tuition for each class taken. In many districts who participate in the program, the student or student’s family are required to provide or pay for the textbooks. As an added benefit to our students, the Estes Park High School also pays for the cost of the textbooks. Class offerings are determined in partnership with the school district. The Estes Park High School currently allows their students to take advantage of any of the col-

lege courses offered by FRCC. Students must be approved by their high school counselor to participate in the High School Select Program.

In the 2015-2016 School Year, Estes Park High School had a head count of 58 unduplicated students taking advantage of this amazing partnership. In the fall, EPHS had 35 students enrolled in English Composition I (ENG 121) and Introduction to Literature I (LIT 115); and in the Spring EPHS had 19 students in English Composition I (ENG 121) and 19 students in Introduction to Literature I (LIT 115). Collectively, a total of 276 college credits were earned.

For more information about the options available to the Estes Park School District High School students, parents and students may reach out to their High School Counselor, Hannah Heckerson at Hannah_heckerson@estesschools.org or their High School Principal, Chuck Scott at Charles_scott@estesschools.org.

A Loss Becomes A Lasting Gift

Med surgical staff with new bed.

By: Kerrie Hill, EPMC

There’s a deep sense of satisfaction when you make the decision to support outstanding healthcare in our community. Gifts to Estes Park Medical Center help maintain our culture of exemplary clinical care, exceptional patient experience, patient safety and innovation.

Last summer, resident Glen Johnson was admitted to Estes Park Medical Center. After a long struggle with his health, he went into Hospice care and eventually passed away at home. During his hospitalization on the medical surgical unit, he received exceptional, compassionate care. His dying wish was to use the monies he had set aside to purchase new hospital beds so that all patients could be as comfortable and cared for as he was.

His long-time friend made that wish a reality this month.

Seven Stryker hospital beds were delivered at the end of July and were moved into the medical-surgical unit patient rooms. “We are honored that Glen chose to provide new state-of-the art beds for our patient rooms,” said Erin Wooley, RN, BSN, Director of the Medical Surgical Unit. “These beds include bed scales which can weigh the patient without

moving them. Additionally the beds are adjustable and come equipped with a nurse call system. My staff is grateful for the donation as this will assist us in providing even safer, more efficient care.”

A dedication was held on August 9th where friends and staff gathered to remember Glen. A plaque in his memory has been hung in the room he occupied.

Part of the old beds were moved to Prospect Park Living Center to replace some aging resident beds. The remainder of the beds and an assortment of outdated IV poles and pumps were donated to Project Cure. These items are now on a cargo ship bound for Haiti.

Estes Park Medical Center Foundation takes great pride in working with donors to carefully pair the interest of the donor with their interest or in assisting them in donating to immediate and emerging needs. Gifts from donors support critical investments in patient care, safety, treatment, education and more to ensure exceptional care and experiences at Estes Park Medical Center. For more information about the foundation, visit www.epmedcenter.com or all the office directly at 970-577-4370.

P.E.O’s Doing What P.E.O’s Do Best

Amal Azimova is the face of promise, achievement, and hope.

Amal, a native of Uzbekistan, has completed a Masters's Degree in International Studies from the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver with the assistance of a P.E.O scholarship award.

Amal was honored at a reception by Chapters HF and IU at the home of Jean Siddle on August 8th.

P.E.O. (Philanthropic Education Organization) is a womans' organization dedicated to the education and development of women world-wide.

It is more true that P.E.O. was honored by Amal as she talked of her aspirations and goals to increase womens' education, independence and global human rights.

Yes, this world appears disjointed, and seemingly dismal at times, but seeing just one face so full of intelligence, hope, and energy can revive our spirits, and has the potential of making an enormous impact. We wish Amal the very best in her endeavors. If she succeeds, we all succeed. Thank you P.E.O. and keep doing what you are doing.

EVENTS IN ESTES PARK

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

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

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

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

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

Historic Park Theatre are delighted to bring you four days of Silent Film Comedies.

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

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

Scott started playing piano at the ing wind, lightning, age of 9. and flood damage.

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

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

Scott tells us: “My first piano at home was a baby grand electric player. I would listen to those piano rolls, which were mostly ragtime, and I was fascinated. As a kid, I would go to the silent movie theatre in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I would watch the film and listen to the piano player accompanying the film. It was a lot of fun.

I play a lot of different music types, but I always liked ragtime.

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

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

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

Mountain Yoga Classes Offer Great Escape For Vacationers And Locals

There are lots of reasons why three million visitors each year head to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park for vacation. Some are looking for a different kind of adventure. Some want the enjoy the beauty of the mountains and escape the heat. Others want a break from the hustle and bustle of their every day lives and are just trying to relax. It’s

no surprise that many of them stumble upon Peggy Donahue’s Pacha Mama yoga classes and get to experience it all.

Pacha Mama offers five yoga experiences every week, and each embraces the uniqueness and beauty of our area. On Monday evenings at 6 p.m., an intermediate class takes place in the upstairs studio of The Old Gallery in Allenspark, in the shade of Mount Meeker. There is a gentle yoga class there on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 a.m., which caters to beginners and seniors. “It’s a peaceful and beautiful way to keep your body moving, especially as you age,” said Allenspark resident Linnea Carter. The Old Gallery is located 15 miles from Estes Park at 14863 Hwy. 7.

On Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. a yoga class is heald at Wild Basin Lodge, also in Allenspark. At 5:45 p.m., Pacha Mama takes her class outdoors at the Estes Park Resort. “This class is a favorite, because

it takes place under the gazebo by the side of the lake, weather permitting,” said Donahue. “It is so peaceful and the views are spectacular. If the weather isn’t favorable, there’s a lovely room at the resort that has a fabulous fireplace. It’s a very special place for yoga.” The Estes Park Resort is located at 1700 Big Thompson Avenue.

Susan B. Anderson of Estes Park said, “I have been practicing yoga for more than a quarter of a century, and Peggy is the happiest yogini I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. The Estes Park Resort lawn is a natural setting that brings the wonders, joys and sometimes complexities of practicing outdoors in Estes Park. Always bring your fleece, just in case!”

On Thursday mornings at 9:30 a.m.

Donahue teaches a yoga class at the Meeker Park Lodge Rec Hall. “There are spectacular views of the mountains from this beautiful log structure,” she said.

“We get gorgeous breezes as we practice yoga.” The Meeker Park Lodge is located 12 miles from Estes Park at 11733 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark.

And don’t worry if you didn’t bring you your yoga mat on vacation. “I’ll happily provide class members with everything they need,” Donahue said.

Donahue has been practicing Hatha style yoga for 38 years, and completed teacher training at Shoshoni Yoga Retreat in 2006.

“Oh, and she’s an amazing massage therapist, as well,” said Allenspark resident Holly Bea-Weaver. “We’re so blessed to have someone of her caliber in our tiny mountain community. One visit and you’ll be hooked.”

Classes are $10 each. For more information or to enroll or register for classes, contact Donahue at summits49@yahoo.com or call 303-7470489.

STAY IN OR GET BACK INTO CIRCULATION During the reign of Oliver Cromwell, the British government began to run low on silver for coins. Lord Cromwell sent his men to investigate the local cathedral to see if they could find any precious metal there. The report: “The only silver we found is in the statues of the saints standing in the corners.” To which the radical Cromwell replied: “Good! We’ll melt down the saints and put them into circulation”.

What is needed right now in our nation’s history is for all of God’s ‘saints’ to get back into circulation. Long ago author Charles Swindoll put it like this: “This time in history does not need rows of silver saints, highly polished, frequently dusted, crammed into the corners of elegant buildings. Not plaster people cloaked in thin layers of untarnished silver and topped with a metallic halo. But real persons. Melted saints circulating through the mainstream of humanity.”

We need living ‘saints’ permeating our society in all those places where there are so many struggles going on right now. Swindoll would list a few of those places where ‘saints’ need to be circulating: on campuses where God’s Word is questioned; in the shops where Christian ethics are hard to find; in the homes with a houseful of kids; near hospital beds; in offices, where diligence and honesty are forever on the scaffold; on the team. And the list could go on.

It is so encouraging to see ‘saints’ letting their beliefs and convictions being known among the people around them. I like the sign welcoming people to Harris County in Georgia.

Sheriff Mike Joley stands proudly beside the sign that reads: “WARNING. Harris County is politically incorrect. We say: ‘Merry Christmas’, ‘God bless America’ and ‘In God we trust’. We respect our troops and our flag. If this offends you…LEAVE!” It’s exciting to see a community that is willing to let their commitments be known in this time when so many others are rejecting many or all of these positions.

A dear friend, a strong member of his California church, took a job as a salesman with a company that sells titanium to companies that build commercial airliners. Some learned that he did not drink alcoholic beverages, because of his conscience and faith. He was immediately warned by his fellow salesmen that he would not be successful in his new role. However, when Ken went to see the buyers for these companies and they asked him if they could get him a drink, he would respond, “If you have a Seven-Up I would appreciate that.” As they handed him his Seven-Up, most would remark what a relief it was not to have to drink with these ‘lushes’ that usually came to sell. Ken was the leading salesman with millions in sales his first year. Here was a ‘saint’ in circulation.

One arena right now where the ‘saints’…which is what the Bible calls common Christians…need to make their presence felt is in the political field and decisions that are going to be made shortly. I believe that Christians could have made a tremendous difference in recent elections…and in our current political situation…if we had looked at the Bible and voted for and promoted those running whose lives were exemplary of values and morals found in the Bible and evident among our nation when we were ‘a Christian nation’. Hopefully, it is not too late. Vote your conscience, promote the candidates that you think will bring our nation closer to God. ‘Saints’, circulate!

A Slightly Happier Wife!

My wife is still pretty unhappy about the band-aid effort to appease her with the dirt they put on the unpaved portions of the south end of Fish Creek Road. The efforts put forth to satisfy the need for a better road were the equivalent of giving your wife a zircon necklace instead of a diamond. Nice try, but it doesn't quite make the mark. We have seen dirt put on those unpaved areas five or six times in the past only to wash out during the next big rain, which leads my wife to believe that this is unsatisfactory and they will be a mess again in a short time.

If the north end of Fish Creek Road can be asphalted over the dirt, why can't the south part be done that way too? Well, I can't answer my wife's frequent question, so I'm asking one of the powers-to-be to visit with Sharon Groome and take the monkey off my back. A happy wife is a happy life - please come share the burden of appeasement and asphalt the dirt areas before I pull out the rest of my hair!

Life is great if you have a hard-surface road to drive on three years after the flood. Please help me get a better life with my wife!

She has witnessed many of the gaps in care for people with Parkinson’s disease as a medical provider.

This has inspired her to become an advocate for improving care in these environments.

Since attending the Allied Team Training Program (ATTP) organized by National Parkinson’s Foundation, she has become a leader in educating postacute

and long term care physicians on the topic of advanced Parkinson’s disease with presentations at the national conferences for the AMDA Society during the past three years as well as numerous local and regional presentations. In 2015 she initiated cooperation between AMDA and International Parkinson and Movement Disorder society to improve care for people with advanced Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.

All affected by this progressive neurological disease are welcome to attend to bring their own experiences, strength and hope and come together for the good of the group.

The formative years of Rocky’s dramatic landscapes can be depicted in dichotomies: uplift and erosion, rock and ice, freeze and thaw. It is hard, perhaps even impossible, to imagine how our granite peaks looked after being uplifted 70 million years ago. Understanding the amount of ice it took to erode those peaks to their current form is incomprehensible. The effects of those dichotomies are seen daily throughout Rocky Mountain National Park, from the high mountain peaks, to the low valleys, and even on the ridges in between.

On Saturday, August 20th, join the Rocky Mountain Conservancy as we explore Rocky’s glacial past. This field class brings participants to explore the glacial valley of Fall River, following Old Fall River Road into the alpine. Discover alpine cirques, hanging valleys, and observe erosional and depositional features. On the way back, see periglacial landscapes along Trail Ridge Road, as Dr. Vince Matthews (the course instructor) points out patterned group, sackungen, rock glaciers, and more.

Dr. Vince Matthews, Colorado’s state geologist, directs the Colorado Geological Survey. Matthews has instructed geology at the University of California, University of Northern Colorado, Arizona State University, Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, and the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. He is author of Messages in Stone - Colorado's Colorful Geology (2003).

Chrastil Plays For Blue Chip Recruiters

Bert Chrastil, 15, of Estes Park played on the Colorado/Arizona based Blue Chip 16 U Recruiters baseball team this summer playing outfield and pitcher. The season began June 1st and ran through July 17th. Bert played games in Colorado as well as at the Oakland A’s Hohokam Stadium in Mesa Arizona. The majority of the games were played against Colorado 5-A high school teams. In June, Bert hit his first homerun estimated at 370’ with a wooden bat at Mullen High School in Denver. The team beat Cherry Creek High School twice, ending the Colorado State Tournament in 4th place. Bert is receiving private batting instruction with Jordan Stouffer, batting coach of the University of Northern Colorado Bears. Bert is the son of Mark and Natalie Chrastil of Estes Park

4 Star Baseball Winners

The Estes Valley Recreation & Park District had four 4 Star Baseball teams compete in their end of season tournaments. In the PeeWee division for 9 and 10 year olds, all teams are invited to the tournament. After an impressive 13-0 finish for the regular season, new Estes Park coach, Jimmy Nichols, took his team to the tournament in Ft. Lupton.

With a few returners, but mostly a brand new team, the PeeWee’s made it to the final and defeated Keenesburg, 11-7, to take 1st place in the championship game! For the Junior’s division (11 & 12 year olds) and Senior’s division (13 & 14 year olds), teams must place in the top eight after regular season to make the end of season tournament. In his second year as head coach, Eric Throne returned to Carbon Valley for the tournament.

The Junior’s also went undefeated in regular season (11-0) and de-

feated Ft. Lupton, 17-2, in the championship game to take 1st place as well!

Both our Senior teams also had a won-

derful season. The Estes Park Isotopes were coached by Dave Rodda and Mark Swanlund.

The Estes Park Bobcats were coached by Tony Gittings and Devin Jacobs. Both teams made it into the top eight and competed in the tournament. They each won their first-round game, but had tough losses in their second round game.

The Estes Valley Recreation & Park District would like to thank all of the coaches for their hard work, dedication, and time commitment to their teams. They all have so much passion for the game and have carried it on to their players. They have helped the players learn the game and get to the next level. Congratulations to all of the Estes Park 4 Star teams on a wonderful winning season!

Book Signing Friday Afternoon Meet “Wrestling with Jesus” author DK Maylor at Macdonald Book Shop in downtown Estes Park on Friday, August 12, from 2-4 p.m. (Books available for purchase at signing) Fourteen years ago, south Texas native D.K. Maylor found himself wondering what a modern-day interview with Jesus might sound like.

Strictly to humor himself, Maylor sat down one afternoon and typed a few lines of dialogue. Little did he realize that his initial musings would evolve into a serious, heavily researched, 14-year labor of love. The result: a spiritual bombshell entitled Wrestling with Jesus (subtitled A candid dialogue with the Master on what Christians must know about their religion— but will never hear in church).

Maylor's book (today’s signing is for the new, revised 2nd edition) has him sitting with Jesus for an all-day conversation by a river in a secluded forest in the southern U.S. – and the fact-filled, hardhitting but humorous discourse is apparently striking a chord with readers around the world. At this writing, the readers who have taken time to post re-

views at amazon.com over the past four years have given the book nearly a perfect five-star average rating. Not bad for an unknown first-time author. Even Maylor himself has been surprised at the response: "I had no idea the book would be so wellreceived so quickly – especially among Christians. The book, after all, is not kind to various aspects of religion in general, or to certain parts of Christianity in particular.”

Maylor contends that most religious devotees are never really encouraged to do much thinking about their faith. Instead, he says, they're typically urged simply to believe and do as they're told. "But it makes no sense," he says, "that the Cosmos would give humans such a high level of intelligence and then dissuade us from applying that intelligence to anything connected with our faith."

Recent surveys show that more and more believers are beginning to question the basic tenets of their religions, and Maylor says Wrestling with Jesus seems to be resonating deeply with those who

Dave Eberhart Hits Hole In One!

are open-minded enough to read it. “It’s truly shifting perspectives and changing lives.”

But not everyone is ready for the challenge, admits the author. "Like politics, religion is a tough subject to examine objectively because it carries such an emotional charge. And churches have done a pretty effective job of discouraging folks from questioning and doing a little honest investigating. When you read the book, you’ll understand why."

Maylor believes the book’s growing popularity is due partly to the extreme levels of humor in the writing. "I figured that if I could help people laugh at some of the ridiculous assertions put forward by religion over the centuries, it might help them keep turning the page and not feel so threatened or defensive. And I have no doubt that an enlightened being like Jesus would have a terrific sense of humor."

Page 33

If the reviews at Amazon are any indication, Maylor's work is hitting home.

Author and independent book reviewer Toby Johnson writes: "Maylor and his buddy Jesus have a field day… deconstructing the traditional Christian doctrine of Jesus as the sacrificial scapegoat who saves mankind by appeasing Yahweh's wrath with his crucifixion. And, of course, the analysis makes great sense and offers a much better interpretation of ‘salvation’... This is a marvelous book."

Wrestling with Jesus is available in both paperback and in Kindle format at Amazon.com (a generous portion can be accessed there for free) and more information is also available at WrestlingWithJesus.net, where a special $3 discount code can be found for use in purchasing the book (paperback only) at CreateSpace.com. A limited number of books will be available for sale at today’s signing.

Winter Reading Group Meets Second Monday Of Each Month September-May Seems like yesterday, but I think it was 1986 when Bev Heroux Todd decided that a book group would be the best way for women (and the occasional man) to get together and share winter evenings.

The original group met at 7 p.m. in the library and soon grew large enough to have an offshoot group which continues to meet at 8:30 a.m. in a restaurant on the first Monday of every month year round.

Currently, we meet at 3:30 at the big table in Kind Coffee on the second Monday of each month from September through May. You don't have to purchase food or drinks but it is available. We can get home before dinner or before the streets get too icy. You don't have to have read the book, but maybe you will want to after you hear us talking about it. Newcomers and guests are always welcome.

Here are the titles and dates for the 2016/17 reading season. Brief synopses are copied from the WorldCat online library catalog. At least one copy of each is available at the Estes Valley Library.

You can also use interlibrary loan or one of the bookselling internet sites or our wonderful local book shop to get a copy.

Contact Sybil Barnes for any further information. 970-586-2789 or estespetsitter@gmail.com September 12- “Book of Your Choice” This is the only meeting where you are expected to share out loud. Please come prepared to talk about a book you love, hate, recommend, read again and again.

This can be your favorite children's book or a favorite author, a book that you read long ago or a book that you discovered this summer. Any genre including poetry, romance, mystery, nonfiction.

October 10 - "Little Paris Bookshop" by Nina George (fiction) The international bestseller, translated from the German

by Simon Pare. On a beautifully restored barge on the Seine, Jean Perdu runs a bookshop; or rather a 'literary apothecary', for this bookseller possesses a rare gift for sensing which books will soothe the troubled souls of his customers. The only person he is unable to cure, it seems, is himself.

November 14 - "Euphoria" by Lily KIng. (fiction - library has a book bag) "English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone in the field for several years, studying a tribe on the Sepik River in the Ter-

ritory of New Guinea with little success.

Bankson is on the verge of suicide when he encounters the famous and controversial Nell Stone and her wry, mercurial Australian husband Fen.” December 12 - "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates (non-fiction) “What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it?

And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? This collection of essays is Coates's attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

January 9, 2017 - "Lisette's List" by Susan Vreeland (fiction) "A young Parisian woman is exiled to Provence to take care of her husband's ailing grandfather during the Vichy regime, but discovers that despite the horrors of World War II, the paintings of Cezanne, Pisarro, Chagall, and Picasso bring to life the landscape around her and allow her once again to experience love" February 13, 2017 - "Book of Ages: the Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin" by Jill Lepore (nonfiction) A revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin's youngest sister and a wholly different account of the founding of the United States.

March 13, 2017 - "My Life on the Road"

by Gloria Steinem (memoir) "Gloria Steinem had an itinerant childhood. The seeds were planted: Steinem would spend much of her life on the road, as a journalist, organizer, activist, and speaker. In vivid stories that span an entire career. With the unique perspective of one of the greatest feminist icons of the 20th and 21st centuries, here is an inspiring, profound, enlightening memoir of one woman's life-long journey.”

April 10, 2017 - "The Last Bus to Wisdom" by Ivan Doig (fiction) "… a lively and poignant coming-of-age story about a boy and his great-uncle on a crosscountry odyssey. … Charming, wise, and slyly funny, this is another treasure of a novel from the best storyteller of the West" May 8, 2017 - "The Girl who Sang to the Buffalo" by Kent Nerburn. (nonfiction) "A white man visits the Dakota elder Dan and joins in the quest to understand the fate of Dan's little sister, Yellow Bird, a girl with a mystical relationship to animals who disappeared into the Indian boarding school system.”

Of course, for this column, I must limit my list of superb resources and ways people support each other to things concerning a green lifestyle, but there is plenty of that to support the statement: No doubt about it, Estes is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Many of these items have been listed before, some recently, some long ago.

But we have been getting so many requests, from new residents and long timers alike, that it seems a good time to reiterate.

Reducing: How many towns do you know that offer an electric car charging station in the parking lot (by Town Hall)? Did you know that our Estes Valley Library has meters to measure the electric power consumed by your appliances? Just use your library card to check out a Watt Meter. We were pleasantly surprised to discover in the last Town survey that 88% of Estes households practice the 3 Rs: reduce – reuse – recycle. But then, “We live at the top of the world.”

Reusing: The Estes Valley Library takes in used books and movies looking for a new home. Their summer book sale (this weekend) is an absolutely do not miss event!

carded pet supplies: toys – bowls - even old, clean, but not so perfect blankets.

Charitable garage sales abound from May to November. Freecycle Estes occurs in May and October. Then, the Coat Drive and Blue Christmas happen during the holidays. Plus, remember our three local thrift shops who work diligently to find new homes for old treasures. Both local newspapers offer free ads for free merchandise. Add to that the facebook site, “Estes Park: Buy, Sell, Trade, Give Away.”. These supportive entities encourage the sharing of resources, something our mountain village does extremely well.

Recycling: Healing Waters Foundation bins for used toner and ink cartridges are located throughout the town. The Drug Take Back has been an annual event and we are working to reinstate Electronic Recycling – soon. Safeway accepts all (clean) plastic bags and even plastic wrap. (But not noisy cellophane.

If it stretches, it’s plastic.) The Estes Park Resource Center will collect your used, inoperable vehicle at no cost to you. The Town supports a “Big Belly” recycling compactor (in Bond Park) and dual use, bear resistant waste cans throughout the municipal area. (These “bear proof ” cans are intended for incidental waste and should not be filled with household trash, rendering them useless until pickup.) And, frankly, while our Waste Transfer Station has its problems, I know of no other Town that supplies free residential recycling. (Boulder County citizens pay taxes for the excellent Ecocycle system and each Loveland household or business pays a municipal fee for waste removal.)

Send questions or comments to RRRcyc2se@gmail.com and please tell us where you saw this information. The next meeting of the League of Women Voters & Community Recycling Committee is 10 a.m. Sept 7th at the EV Library.

On Saturday, August 20th, 2016: Carissa will offer 2 separate master classes: Lyrical Dance from 9:00-10:30am and Hip-Hop from 10:30-12:00pm to all dancers ages 9 and up! Carissa’s master classes are only $20.00 each. The fee (check or cash) may be paid at the start of class.

Pre-registration is strongly advised as class size is limited.

For further information or to register for the Master Classes, call Center Stage at (970) 586-3830 or visit our website at www.centerstagedanceestespark.comcom

Represented by the Go 2 Talent Agency of CA, Carissa has also danced in multiple music videos, has acted as a guest choreographer for many schools of dance around the country, and taught workshops at Millennium Dance Complex, Anna Maris Dance Academy in LA, Spotlight Dance Academy LA, and the University of Northern CO.

YMCA Of The Rockies Presents Concert Featuring Violinist Michael Davis And Pianist Timothy Burns The YMCA of the Rockies Chapel Ministry will present a concert featuring violinist Michael Davis along with pianist Timothy Burns as part of the 2016 Summer Worship Fest. The concert will take place on August 14, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in Hyde Chapel.

The program will feature the "Spring" Sonata of Beethoven, perhaps his most beloved work for violin and piano. Also included will be three selections for solo violin composed by John Williams, as heard in the movies Schindler's List (which Michael performed in 2014 with John Williams conducting the Louisville Orchestra), The Scent of a Woman and Fiddler on the Roof. Various hymn arrangements will round out the evening. This is the inaugural concert of Michael and Timothy together, since both only recently moved to Colorado.

In addition to their passion for music, they also share a common interest as baseball fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Along with the 7:00 p.m. concert, the duo will be participating in the music for the 10:00 a.m. worship service in Hyde Chapel on August 14, 2016 While only 26 years old, violinist Michael W. Davis was named Concertmaster of the prestigious Louisville Orchestra, thrilling audiences for 30 years until his retirement from that position in 2015. He is a graduate of the world renowned Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University where he was awarded Bachelor and Master of Music degrees with distinction. Featured in numerous chamber music and orchestral recordings, Michael also has two solo albums, Emmanuel and Amazing Grace. Emmanuel (a fantasia on hymnody for solo violin and orchestra) was composed for Michael by Kurt Kaiser and was recorded in Dvorak Hall with the City of Prague Philharmonic in the Czech Re-

public. The album Amazing Grace features Michael's own arrangement of that beloved hymn for solo violin as heard at the "Billy Graham Crusade" in Louisville, KY. A very active performer, he has given concerts in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center.

In addition to these and other U.S. performances, he has concertized in both Europe and Asia. Along with his tenure as Concertmaster of the Louisville Orchestra, Michael has also been a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

In addition, he has served on the violin faculties at the University of Louisville, Campbellsville University and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Michael is currently teaching in the Fort Collins area. To learn more about Michael, please visit his website at http://www.MichaelDavisViolin.com Pianist Timothy Burns is a versatile performer and collaborator, with significant instrumental, vocal, and choral accompanying experience. He holds degrees in piano performance, music theory pedagogy, and collaborative piano from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA and the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. Dr. Burns has performed in a variety of collaborative and solo settings throughout the United States and Canada.

He has served as staff accompanist for the 2010 King Award Competition, the 2012 International Viola Congress, and the 2013 International Society of Bassists Competition and Conference. Recent performances include the 2016 International ClarinetFest held at the University of Kansas, performing with clarinetist Wesley Ferreira. Currently, Dr. Burns serves as Supervisor of Piano Accompanying at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, while living with his wife and pianist Suyeon Kim in Broomfield, CO. Through faith based programs and activities, the YMCA of the Rockies Chapel Ministry seeks to create a culture that is spiritually engaging, safe and respectfully of all.

Four Composers In Full By: Derald DeYoung

Monday evening’s final performance of the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra featured four composers in full command of their art.

The concert began with J S Bach, who is the high water mark for all composers and the composer to whom every composer who followed him turned to for study. His Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C major is a delightful suite of baroque dances which Maestro Zeitouni presented in an invigorating and stylish performance which bowed to baroque performance practice by having the strings play non vibrato. The wind section, especially the oboes, shined in their prominent role. It was a superb opening to this concert of four varied composers.

Bookended at the opposite end of the concert was Beethoven, who many feel vies with Bach as the most profound and influential of composers. His Symphony No. 1, also in C major, was given a polished and exhilarating performance.

There was a crispness to the articulation in the strings, especially in the scales of the last movement, which was splendid.

The whole performance exhibited the forceful energy of Beethoven’s music and ended the concert with an exhilarating show of the power of music.

Next in chronological order was Richard Strauss (1864-1949), who wrote the Duett-Concertino for clarinet and bassoon solo with string and harp accompaniment when he was 83 as his final instrumental composition. Reflecting Strauss’ more conservative later style this piece was a delight to hear. The two soloists, both principal players in the orchestra, were clarinetist Louis Demartino and bassoonist Glenn Einschlag. They were impressive in their technically demanding solo roles and beautifully matched partners, both exhibiting superb characteristic sounds on their instruments and playing with

supreme lyricism. This piece exhibited Strauss’ undiminished command as a composer of soaring orchestra writing at the very end of his creative life.

The final composer was 35 year old Hannah Lash with an impressive record of commissions and performances. She performed her own Harp Concerto No. 2 which was a premiere performance commissioned by this orchestra. Historical musical criticism of premiere performances has a dire record of dissing works which are now considered masterpieces by the greatest composers. So offering a valid opinion on one hearing is problematic. However, we found her work to have many wonderful moments of appealing orchestral color, especially in the first and final movements. We found the second movement most baffling in the unresolved contrast between the orchestra and harp. The idea of this movement reminded us of the contrast between piano and orchestra in the second movement of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G. However, Beethoven does resolve this conflict which Lash did not in her concerto. Her playing was most appealing for its sensitivity and her sense of choreography in her physical gestures, which were quite appropriate to the music. Perhaps a bit long for the content, it is still stimulating to experience a premiere especially with the composer as performer.

This was the final concert of an all too short summer series of the finest classical music to come to Estes Park. Thanks again, to the EP Music Festival board for their dedication in making this series happen.

Derald DeYoung is Professor of Music Emeritus from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich. where he taught for 27 years. He also taught at St. Olaf College and Lawrence University. He holds degrees in music from Lawrence University, Eastman School of Music and the University of Minnesota.

Estes Park’s Colorful History Stars In New Epic Novel The beautiful Estes Valley – and its colorful and turbulent history – features strongly in The Midnight Star, the highly-acclaimed novel by Northern Ireland author, Colin McAlpin.

Like all of his top-selling novels, The Midnight Star is set in the late 1800s, shortly after the end of the bloody American Civil War, and is a richly detailed and carefully researched combination of fiction and fact.

The epic historical-romance tells the story of widow Alicia Henshall and her young daughter Louise Jane who inherit a Rocky Mountain mine and join a wagon train to Colorado where they must fend off the advances of the Irishborn Lord Dunraven who aims to own the valley for his own pleasure.

Colin, one of Northern Ireland’s best-known journalists and broadcasters, has long been an admirer of and visitor to Estes Park, staying in a local cabin owned by his American cousins, the Redmonds.

“I think Estes Park quite the most enchanting of places,” he says, “I love visiting the area.

As an Irishman I have also been well aware of how Lord Dunraven tried, by often brutal and devious means, to grab as much of the valley for himself. His story needed telling and I have pitted him against a determined foe ... the feisty Alicia, an independent woman who will not be threatened or frightened.”

His previous top-selling novel, Santa Fe Sisters, has been featured on a local radio station as Book of the Month, selected by several book clubs and it has garnered many delighted reviews.

The Midnight Star, from David J. Publishing, is the second of several novels by the award-winning Northern Ireland journalist/broadcaster to be published locally having mostly been initially released in the USA under the title of The Moon Flower.

“I have had seven novels – three crime and four historical – published in the USA but recently I changed my agent after finding it difficult dealing long-distance and was fortunate to find the excellent Belfast-based David J. Publishing.

The Midnight Star features Colin’s customary strong female characters – “I love strong women and somehow all my books feature them as the central characters” – and takes his widowed heroine, Alicia Henshall, and her young daughter, Louise Jane, on a dangerous wagon train journey from Arizona to Colorado in search of a mysterious silver mine she has inherited. Along the way she meets Michael Patrick D’Arcy, a former Confederate officer who was born in Ireland.

“The Irish, particularly the Ulster Scots, played a major part in the exploration and expansion of America and many did fight in the Civil War, on either side. I wanted a character whose life had been thrown into disruption by the war, a restless man in need of roots ...

Michael Patrick is just such a man.

But though The Midnight Star is fiction

much of it is set against real-life events that featured the wealthy Irish Lord who attempted to buy up an entire region of the Colorado Rockies for his private use.

“The story of Lord Dunraven is a fascinating one,” Colin explained, “By some devious means he bought out, or frightened off, farmers and ranchers in the Estes Valley ... and he takes on Alicia.”

Colin knows the Colorado Rockies well and has spent considerable time in Estes Park, staying in the cabin belonging to his American cousins. He has researched the story of the area and travelled the route through Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado taken by the wagon train.

North Belfast-born Colin, who cohosts with his daughter, Heidi, publisher of the award-winning Belfast in Your Pocket guidebook, a weekly magazine-music programme on Belfast 89FM, is a former award-winning Sports Editor, Features Editor, Arts-Entertainment Editor and columnist on several of the Belfast daily and Sunday newspapers, combined his current job as a travel writer with plenty of personal research in the USA. “It’s obviously essential to get the historical and geographical background as accurate as possible, so if you’re writing about an historic period or a place it helps to know what it actually looks like,” Colin explains, “It also helps a writer to have a great researcher to add more information and I am fortunate to have an old friend, Angela Lubbock, on hand to keep me right.

“It was an interesting time in American history, just after the bloody Civil War when the country was expanding and growing. In a way I wanted to pay my tribute to the contribution made by the women. Alicia and her little daughter are, I hope, excellent champions for all those women.”

Colin is an authority on the American Civil War and several of his novels – all of them to be re-launched by David J. Publishing – are set during the conflict.

He has a large private collection of Civil War memorabilia – books, letters, weapons, documents – and recently he travelled to Richmond, Virginia, the capitol of the old Confederate States, to donate some thirty letters to the Museum of the Confederacy, written by a Confederate Major. And while in Virginia he spent time in Lynchburg researching for his story of the Battle of Lynchburg: The Edge of Evening.

So much does he like Estes Park that several of his novels, including one of his top-selling crime stories, Dead Line, in the Rachel Andrews Mysteries series, was also set in Colorado, in Denver and Estes Park.

The Midnight Star and Santa Fe Sisters, and all the other novels by Colin McAlpin, are available on Amazon Kindle and paperback and in the Macdonald Book Shop, 152 E. Elkhorn Avenue, Estes Park.

The Clearwings And Great Blue Take Stage Aug. 17 & 18 At Performance Park

Next week, two incredible folk duos will perform as part of the Cultural Arts Council's Night Live! series at Performance Park. On Wednesday, Aug. 17, The Clearwings will perform starting at 7 p.m.; and, on Thursday, August 18, Great Blue will take the stage at the same place and time.

The Clearwings - Wed. Aug. 17, 7 p.m.

The Clearwings is an independent altfolk duo with a focus on the intimacy of live performance. They combine tight harmonies with driving guitar, bringing a modern edge to a classic folk sensibility. The result is a dynamic sound, with influences ranging from 60s greats like Peter, Paul & Mary, Johnny Cash & June

Carter, and Ian & Sylvia, to modern rock interpreters like The White Stripes and The Strokes.

The Clearwings is fronted equally by Raven Adams (vocals) and Mark Phillips (vocals & guitar). While Raven is native to Santa Cruz, California and Mark from Golden, Colorado, the pair began collaborating on music in college in Maine and moved to Colorado in 2009. They formed the Clearwings in December of 2013, performing folk standards and unexpected covers around

Denver while developing original material.

In August 2015, the Clearwings released a single, “Nothing to Say” and Bside track (“I don’t believe a thing”). The duo launched their first tour (called the "New Hip Tour" for Mark's newly reconstructed hip joint) to support the release, playing shows from San Francisco to Cheyenne throughout the end of the year. After a short break while Mark had a second hip surgery, the Clearwings released the "Rocks in My Shoes" EP in May 2016.

Great Blue - Thurs. Aug. 18, 7 p.m.

Great Blue (a/k/a Shirl Lawrence and Steve Kaplan) is an acoustic folk duo with eclectic tastes.

They started singing with friends while living in Boulder more than three decades ago. "We first (literally) 'sang for our supper' the very first night we moved to New York State," Great Blue reported.

"For 35 years, we’ve been heard at coffeehouses within the Hudson River Valley. We sang at Clearwater festivals for more than a decade as members of the Walkabout Chorus and the Hudson River Sloopsingers."

Great Blue's musical sources are rather eclectic: they include Kate Wolf ’s haunting ballads and songs echoing Clearwater’s environmental message. One Woody Guthrie sailor who ought to know said Steve’s “We’ll Make It to Coxsackie” truly described how it felt to be in a Hudson River storm. Listeners often comment about the beautiful sounds Shirl’s voice has graced them with, and the harmonies we craft together. The group is now called “Great Blue” after the observant heron we often find during their kayak trips. Now that their day jobs are behind us, Great Blue has flown to their permanent nest in the Colorado Rockies.

For the 18th year this summer, the CAC is presenting free concerts for the public with this series. Concerts will be held each Wednesday and Thursday night rain or shine - through August 25 at Estes Park's premiere outdoor venue, Performance Park.

The park is accessible to everyone and it is recommended that attendees bring lawn chairs, blankets, umbrellas, etc. for comfort.

The shows are sponsored by the CAC and generous support from Coldwell Banker (Mary Murphy, Vicky Holler & Wayne Newsom), Mueller & Associates, and The Barrel; freewill donations from those attending are appreciated to keep this program thriving. For more information, visit www.estesarts.com

Chinese Lineage Masters & Doctors Bring Ancient Traditional Healing to Estes Park This September

This September 8-11 at Dao House in Estes, Park, CO three world-renowned master teachers of Traditional Chinese Medicine – Dr. Li, Guo Yong, Dr. Jeffrey Yuen, and William Young, L.Ac., will share ancient knowledge to help people reverse aging and disease, and live longer, happier lives.

Dr. Li is a 17th generation descendent of Li Shi Zhen, a lineage of healers over 600 years old. Known worldwide, Dr. Li is recognized as a national treasure of China and has treated dignitaries and presidents as well as many westerners.

He is an author and the creator of “Gui Yuan Nourishing Qi Gong”. This will be his first time in the U.S. Dr. Jeffrey Yuen comes from two Daoist lineages – 88th generation of the Yu Qing Huang Lao Pai and 26th generation of the Quan Zhen Long Men Pai. He was the first recipient of the "Educator of the Year" award by the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM). Due to Dr. Yuen's effort, Daoism became recognized as a religion by the U.S. Department of State that paved the way for Daoist priests to enter the United States on special visas.

William Young, L.Ac., is an author and internationally recognized leader, educator and advocate in Chinese Medicine.

As the first instructor of Chinese Medicine in New York State, he has over 45 years of experience dedicated to tackling the root causes of chronic disease by harnessing the power of Chinese Integrative Medicine to transform individual

Great Hymns Of Faith If hearing over sixty singers, brass/timpani, and organ performing some the Christian Church’s most beloved hymns inspires you enough to take time away from the Olympics for an hour or so, then we invite you to come to the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies this Sunday, August 21st, at 4PM to hear the choirs of the Presbyterian Community Church, Shepherd of the Mountains and St. Bartholomew the Apostle present the third annual Great Hymns of Faith program.

Once again, the choirs are thrilled to have the Highland Brass Quintet and the Estes Valley Chamber Singers join them for this program. In addition to the three mass numbers, each choir will sing three pieces based on hymn tunes. Larry Gillum and Phyllis Eggers will each play organ solos, and by popular request, the Highland Brass will once again play Just a Closer Walk With Thee; an arrangement by the Canadian Brass.

This will be a great program that will have you singing along at times. The program is a gift to the community and there is no charge; not even a free will offering will be taken.

Come join us for an afternoon of wonderful music.

wellness.

These three distinguished guest speakers are part of the Universal Consciousness Festival taking place September 811, 2016, at Dao House in Estes Park, CO. They will be joined by Gurudev Shri Amritji: one of the few living yoga masters who brought the authentic teachings of yoga to the West in the early 1960s, and Solala: a teacher of Taoist practices for over 25 years, publisher of The Empty Vessel, and founding board member of the National Qigong Association.

Workshops will be available for festival attendees to learn practical tools to use in their daily lives. The festival’s Kung Fu Team of highly accomplished martial artists will also be providing workshops and performances to highlight the weekend’s festivities.

Wu Dang Chen, founder and Master of Ceremonies of the Universal Consciousness Festival, stated: "We embrace all cultures, religions, beliefs and healing modalities. The annual festival is an opportunity for people to learn and experience several Alternative Healing modalities. Bringing universal consciousness to healthy lifestyles, this special event is to help everyone achieve healthy longevity.

I encourage all to join us in celebrating and embracing oneness."

Meeting Notices David K. Petersen April 18, 1927 - July 30, 2016 David Petersen was born to Johannes and Ebba Petersen of Omaha, NE in 1927. By the time he was seven years old, Dave had made friends with many who would remain his friends for life. After his graduation from Benson High School in Omaha, Dave served in the Navy at Great Lakes Naval Station, then attended college at Iowa State, Idaho, and Nebraska. He also did coursework and research at Brown University and UCLA. Dave worked in education for his entire career, first as a math teacher at North High School in Omaha, and later as Superintendent of Mathematics for the Omaha Public Schools. In his early days of teaching, he met his future bride, JoAnn Pospichal. They were married in July of 1955 and had three children – Joan, Janet and Jack.

Dave was young at heart and enjoyed spending time with his children – and later, with their children. He was a positive, happy soul who made life fun for those around him. He and JoAnn enjoyed entertaining, including hosting three bridge clubs in their home for many years. But whether it be bridge, the Jumble or Sudoku, Dave was known for his fiercely competitive spirit!

Upon his retirement in 1989, Dave took up new hobbies with JoAnn, including painting and square dancing.

Together, they attended sixteen elderhostels throughout the continental U.S. and traveled to Germany, Alaska and

Hawaii. And they continued to socialize. In 2005, Dave and JoAnn celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in Tubac, Arizona, with 100 people they had come to know from their old neighborhoods, churches and work. They would celebrate ten more anniversaries before JoAnn’s passing in 2015.

Dave and JoAnn moved from Omaha to Green Valley, Arizona in 1991, and later to Estes Park, Colorado. In all their hometowns they were active in the United Methodist Church. In 2014, they moved to Denve! r to be closer to family.

Dave is survived by many who celebrate his life – his children and their spouses: Joan and Fred Burtzos, Janet and Kevin Muhm, and Jack and Debbie Petersen (Rice); as well as six grandchildren: Alex, Ben, Jocelyn, Colin, Kailey and Grant; a great grandson, Bradley; nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife JoAnn, his parents, Johannes and Ebba, and his brothers, Jack and Dan. A memorial service is planned for April in Omaha. The family requests that contributions be made in David’s name to the Amy Bennett Foundation, to honor the memory of his great niece and to help young people pursuing an arts education. Memorials may be sent to: The Amy Bennett Foundation, 39506 N. Daisy Mountain Drive, Anthem, AZ 85086. For more information, visit amybennettfoundation.com
