Estes Park Centennial Team Planning For 2017 With just five months to go before the official kickoff, work to showcase Estes Park during its 100th Anniversary Celebration is in high gear.

Organizations throughout Estes Park are planning special celebratory events.

Businesses are arranging to provide customers with celebration-themed merchandise and efforts to have the 100th celebration provide a lasting legacy have begun. Based on community input, “Estes Park at 100: Celebrate the Vision” was selected as theme for the year and a logo depicting the lasting strength and legacy of the area as provided by mountain pine has been selected to mark officially sanctioned events and products. Information about the Centennial, including applications related to events and merchandising can be found at www.EstesPark100.com.

More participation is welcomed by becoming an Official Centennial Event or promoting Estes Park through the sale of Official Merchandise is easy.

Applications for both activities and merchandise are available on www.EstesPark100.com.

Activities marking the anniversary will begin during the 2017 Winter Festival over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend from Jan. 14-16, 2017. A community celebration is planned for the official incorporation day in April 2017, and activities and events will continue through the 2017 Thanksgiving holiday and the Catch the Glow parade Nov. 25.

Integral to Centennial planning has been an overarching desire to mark the anniversary with a gift to the current and future generations of the community. Working closely with the Estes Valley Land Trust and the Estes Park Public Works Department, the Centennial Team is identifying improvements to the Knoll-Willows Open Space in preparation for the renaming of a 19.6 acre parcel of land between Town Hall and the Stanley Hotel to honor the centennial. All donations and proceeds from official Centennial event and product fees will support this legacy project.

A core group of volunteers including Town of Estes Park Historian Laureate Jim Pickering, Town Administrator Frank Lancaster, Town Public Information Officer Kate Rusch, Estes Park Museum Director Derek Fortini, Estes Park Museum Curator of Collections Naomi Gerakios Mucci, Town of Estes Park Utility Billing Specialist Julie Skelton, Special Events Coordinators Barbara Johnson and Kevin Benes, Utilities Administrative Assistant Kayla Downey, and Visit Estes Park Operations Director Suzy Blackhurst comprise the Centennial Team. Their work is coordinated by Team Co-Chairs Alicia Rochambeau, Estes Park Museum Curator of Education, and Community Volunteer Doyle Baker. The team can be reached via email at EstesPark100@estes.org or 970-5773762.

Town Board, County Commissioners And Planning Commission To Discuss Vacation Rentals August 30 The Estes Park Town Board, Larimer County Board of County Commissioners and Estes Valley Planning Commission will hold a joint study session Aug. 30 from 8 to 10 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. The boards and commission will discuss the Vacation Rental Task Force recommendations specific to vacation rentals with occupancy by nine or more individuals, within the Estes Valley Planning Area. The public is encouraged to observe the meeting, although public comment is not included in study session agendas. The meeting will be streamed live via www.estes.org/videos and available for viewing later.

Earlier this year the Vacation Rental Task Force of community representatives convened specifically to formulate recommendations for vacation rentals with nine or more occupants. The Task Force met from April 27 through Aug. 3. The Town Board and Board of County Commissioners have not yet called for amendments to the Estes Valley Development Code in this area.

If directed by the boards, staff will begin the process by drafting vacation rental code amendments. The Planning Commission is charged with reviewing and determining if the proposed amendments are consistent with the Estes Valley

Development Code as well as the policies and intent of the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission would hold a public hearing, tentatively Oct. 18, and then forward a recommendation for approval, denial or approval with conditions to the Town Board and County Commissioners for a final decision. A joint public hearing of the Town Board and Board of County Commissioners is tentatively scheduled for November 2016.

The Estes Valley model for land-use regulations is unique in Colorado. The Town of Estes Park and Larimer County partnered in the mid-1990s to develop the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan, a unified vision for land-use planning in both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the Estes Valley. In 2000, they jointly established the Estes Valley Development Code. The Planning Commission reviews development and subdivision proposals within the entire Estes Valley, though the final decision-making authority lies with the County Commissioners and Town Board for their respective jurisdictions.

Information on this topic is available at www.estes.org/vacationrentals. Final meeting information will be posted to www.estes.org/boardsandmeetings.

Larimer County Commissioners Refer Exemption To Broadband Law To November Ballot The Board of Larimer County Commissioners today unanimously approved a recommendation to refer a ballot question to the November 2016 ballot requesting an exemption for Larimer County from Colorado Senate Bill 152 [SB 05-152]. SB 05-152 prohibits local governments from involvement in broadband efforts, and also restricts governmental entities from actively partnering for grants, planning or implementation of internet connectivity.

County staff members presented their recommendation to refer an exemption to SB 05-152 to the November 2016 ballot at an Administrative Matters session with the Commissioners on August 16, 2016.

“The SB 512 exemption would open up the options for the County to partner with our local communities,” said Larimer County Commissioner Lew Gaiter III, “and we are very excited for this opportunity to help all citizens of Larimer County to move into the 21st century.”

Lumpy Ridge over MacGregor Ranch

In recent years, Estes Park, Fort Collins, Loveland, Wellington have passed ballot measures opting out of SB 05-152 restrictions, however, currently there is not a county-wide exemption.

This ballot measure will also impact those municipalities that have already passed a SB 05-152 exemption, as it will enable Larimer County to support broadband efforts within these cities/towns.

A broadband Citizens’ Group has formed among community members who believe that local authority should be restored to Larimer County to participate in broadband efforts by lifting the restrictions of SB 05-152.

By virtue of the Fair Campaign Practices Act, once a County item is referred to the ballot, staff communication regarding that item is limited to answering questions based strictly on fact and not opinion. Drew Davis is the Broadband Program Manager for Larimer County and can be reached at ddavis@larimer.org or (970) 231-6965.

Courtesy photos

Bank of Estes Park received the Estes Park in Bloom steering committee's "Business Bright Spot" award Aug. 12.

The committee presented Bank of Estes Park President Tim Hull with a traveling sign to be displayed at the property, a window cling and a framed certificate of recognition. The designation of a "Business Bright Spot" signifies a business that places emphasis on beautifully maintained landscapes, floral displays and a tidy store front. Bank of Estes Park is the fourth of a series of businesses to receive this designation in 2016. Other businesses to receive the designation this summer include Inkwell & Brew, Deer Crest Resort and Tiny Town Miniature Golf. The committee will award the next "Business Bright Spot" Aug. 26, and the program will continue every other Friday through September. To nominate a business, please contact Keri Kelly at 970-5773782 or kkelly@estes.org.

Bank of Estes Park is located at 255

Park Lane in Estes Park. Bank of Estes Park has been adding color to its landscape for over 20 years. The most notable of their floral displays are the bright petunias planted along the balcony each year. Multiple flower beds are added to brighten the property.

The Estes Park in Bloom steering committee remains focused on community engagement in 2016. A series of educational gardening, tree and floral-related talks took place this spring. The free series will resume in the fall. The "Business Bright Spot" program is the latest effort to promote community engagement and recognize businesses for their efforts to promote the community through beautification.

Businesses are also encouraged to display hanging baskets and flower pots or beds at their stores. For more information please visitwww.estes.org/estesparkinbloom.

Town Considers Agreement To Transfer Senior Services To Recreation District August 23 The Estes Park Town Board will consider adopting an intergovernmental agreement with the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) that provides terms and conditions for the transfer of senior services to EVRPD upon the opening of the Estes Valley Community Center (EVCC), estimated in 2018. The discussion takes place at the Town Board meeting Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. Public input is encouraged. The draft intergovernmental agreement is available for review at www.estes.org/seniorcenter and all meeting materials will be posted by Aug. 19 at www.estes.org/boardsandmeetings. For those who cannot attend the meeting, written comments may be submitted to the Town Clerk's office by Aug. 22 in Room 130 of Town Hall or by emailing townclerk@estes.org.

The EVRPD Board of Directors will consider the same agreement at its Aug. 16 meeting, which takes place at 7 p.m. in the Hangar Restaurant/Estes Park Golf Course downstairs meeting room, 1480 Golf Course Rd. Public input is encouraged. More information is available at www.evrpd.com.

Provisions of the draft agreement include: The Town will transfer all sales tax revenues from Ballot Issue 1A designated for the EVCC to EVRPD for construction of the facility. At the EVCC, EVRPD will provide generally the same types of senior services programming as the Town currently provides with the exception of meal services. EVRPD supports continuing current programs at the EVCC including education and lifelong learning classes, recreational activities, physical fitness and health and wellness programs, social events and van trips. In addition, the EVRPD would allow the use of third-party food services contractors to provide food for programs and events at the EVCC. The Town's Senior Services Program Coordinators will be offered similar positions with EVRPD. EVRPD will be solely responsible for the design and construction of the EVCC and the Town will not have space and design requirements.

Meal services have been a primary concern of the Town and senior services customers. In a first attempt to secure a

food services provider for 2017-2018, the Town issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for 2017 Senior Center Food Services that included an option to transition into the EVCC in 2018. The Town received only one response to that RFP that was prohibitively expensive.

Additionally, the initial bid did not reflect any interest in providing food services at the EVCC in 2018. As a result, the Town redesigned and reissued a new Request for Proposal that was specific to 2017 Senior Center Food Services and again received only one bid, which is under review by Town staff.

The board of Estes Park Senior Citizens Center, Inc., the Senior Center's 501c3 support organization, will also review the RFP at a special board meeting Aug. 22.

In addition to working on Senior Center food service options (dining room and Meals on Wheels services) for 2017, Town staff are working with local human service agencies to explore the future of the Meals on Wheels program beyond 2017.

With the design of the Estes Valley Community Center well underway, the Town of Estes Park and Estes Valley Recreation and Park District are striving to establish a solid foundation for the operation of the future facility. Integration of senior services into a multigenerational EVCC was the preferred alternative in the Town's 2013 Senior Center Master Plan, receiving strong support through the public process. The management of senior services by EVRPD, as the future EVCC owner, would allow for integration into the facility and streamlined programming by a single managing entity. No operating or lease agreements would be necessary to manage the interests of two agencies.

Through this process, the Town will remain committed to providing a solid foundation for the continuation of senior services for Estes Valley residents.

Pending adoption of the agreement by both governing boards, the Town and EVRPD would begin working together on a transition plan for senior services.

Integral to the success of the transfer will be Estes Park Senior Citizens Center, Inc., volunteers and stakeholders in senior services, and the entire community.

Senior Center Membership Meeting There will be a mid-year Sr. Center Membership Meeting to update and discuss with Sr. Center Membership upcoming changes regarding the future move of Senior Services to the new Estes Valley Community Center George Crislip, ESPCC, Inc. President, will summarize changes and issues and explain what the board has done and is doing to make the transition comfortable for members. Tom Carosello, EVRPD Director, will explain the most recent architectural plan of the EVCC and discuss his vision of Senior Services within that space.

Members will have the opportunity to ask questions of and voice their concerns to: the EVRPD Board Members and Director, Assistant Town Manager Travis Machalek, Senior Services Director Lori Mitchell and EPSCC, Inc. Board Members. George Crislip, EPSCC, Inc. President, will conclude by asking the membership’s wishes for future board action.

This meeting will be Fri. Aug. 26th at 1:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend! This is your opportunity to be up-to-date!

I thank the sponsors of the programs this summer for providing fun, free music programs for our visitors and local residents alike. These programs provided a family-oriented evening of entertainment and participation for people of all ages, from all over the world.

The concerts would not have happened this year without the support of the following organizations and individuals: Aspen Winds on Fall River Awesome Shirtworks Bank of Colorado Bear Necessities and Cubs Brownfield’s Outdoor Gear Carmel Corn Shop Colorado Homestead Edward Jones Investments (Jane Schoen) The Town of Estes Park The Estes Park News Gerald Mayo and Prudential Team Realty Richard and Linda Klapper Macdonald Book Shop Main Street T’s Mama Rose’s Italian Restaurant

Moose Creek Western Wear The Ore Cart Rock Shop Abner and Kathryn Perney Poppy’s Pizza and Grill Rustic Mountain Charm Serendipity Trading Company Sargent Pepper’s Music and Video US Bank WesTees T-shirt Shop That #1 Jewery Store Once again, I thank Ann Taylor of Colorado Homestead for organizing the nightly sponsorships and providing the free chocolate bars and cowboy hats that I gave away during the concerts. Thank you also to the Estes Park News for their generous support in helping with promotion each week.

Thanks to my brother, Doug Fitch, for performing with me when he was visiting in June and to my “identical twin” Mark Rashid, who played with me more often than not. (It felt weird when Mark was away presenting his horse training clinics.)

Most of all, thank you to the good folks who stopped by Bond Park to listen. I hope you enjoyed the concerts nearly as much as I did.

I wish you all peace and love. May you be well, happy trails to you until we meet again, “Cowboy” Brad Fitch www.cowboybrad.com

Artist In Residence Programs Continue At Rocky Mountain National Park Photographer Danielle Austen of Hillsborough, New Jersey has been an Artistin-Residence at Great Smoky Mountains, Acadia, and Everglades National Parks.

She was also a resident artist at the Vermont Studio Center.

She has received numerous photography awards including the 2015 International Nature-Landscape Photography Award.

For her residency project she plans to capture images of water in the park.

Through these images she hopes to show the importance of water as an integral part of the health of wildlife, forests, and meadows. Her focus will also reveal the more mystical nature of water through the interplay of light, patterns, tones, and abstract imagery.

She will be giving programs at Beaver Meadows Visitor Center on Wednesday, August 24, 2016 and on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 at 7:30 p.m.

Six artists were selected for the summer 2016 Artist-in-Residence Program at Rocky Mountain National Park, including three youth artists. Artists are provided with a creative, contemplative environment in which to generate artistic works and share their works with the public. During their stay at the park, artists share their vision in public presentations.

Since the late 1800s, national parks and art have had a special connection.

Early-day artists accompanied many of the expeditions that explored the American West. These artists documented their discoveries in paintings, photographs and prose, and played a key role in influencing the decision to protect many of our earliest national parks. In 1984, in honor of the significant role that artists had played in the creation of national parks, Rocky Mountain National Park established the first Artist-in-Resi-

Danielle Austen

dence Program in the National Park Service system. Today over fifty national park areas have Artist-in-Residence Programs.

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

Is it just me, or has this summer been one of the worst allergy seasons in the history of, well, ever? I’ve heard from so many people around town that their allergies have been miserable (almost intolerable) this year, and mine have been no different. I’ve been suffering since late spring, and while my allergies usually consist of the typical runny nose, itchy eyes, and stuffed-up head, this year they took a turn for the downright-terrible.

For the past six months I’ve had a chronic cough, trouble breathing, and regular asthma attacks. I went to my annual check-up in May and got both nasal steroids and an albuterol inhaler, but my suffering continued. I kept telling myself, “One more week, and the irritants will be gone, I’ll feel better” but it never happened. Finally, Jordan and my family convinced me last week to go back to EPMC and see if there was more going on.

And, there was! I learned that allergies, asthma, and eczema are a “trifecta” of ailments that can compound on one another if not treated appropriately. I have likely had asthma triggers for years, and it’s only these recently-developed allergies that hit hard enough to activate severe breathing issues. Some of my airways were collapsing under the stress of so much coughing and irritation so I got on a hefty dose of steroids to help rebuild those. I instantly started feeling better and now, just over one week later, I’m starting to remember what it’s like to be me again.

That “return to self ” was one of the most relieving results from going to the doctor. I have been lucky enough to never have any sort of major, long-lasting health problems in my life. I’ve never broken a bone, I’ve never had a chronic virus or disease, I’ve generally been very healthy and able to do whatever I please.

Now that I’m on the other side of these past several months, I realize how mentally taxing it was to not feel your best every day. I realize how frustrating and disrupting it was for me to not be able to skip into the mountains for a long morning hike, without the fear that I’d have an asthma attack in the middle of the backcountry with no way to get quick help. It seems like a no-brainer, but our health and wellness are such blessings – it’s a true gift to have the freedoms to do what makes your body, mind, and soul feel happy. I am even more motivated now to do and enjoy the things I’m capable of, and not take for granted my body’s ability to go out and explore.

(Special thanks to Dr. Dunn and the team at EPMC for their impeccable care and kindness. I am grateful to have such a world-class medical facility stocked with such wonderful people, all just a few minutes away!)

EPNEWS.COM While The Thunker took time off to enjoy Alaska with family, Joe Potter stepped into Page 9 to recall his own family vacations in Estes Park: Fifty-six summers ago, my family first drove into the Estes Valley from Trail Ridge Road after spending a night in Grand Lake.

Our last night of a two-week road trip was booked at the Hobby Horse Motel on Highway 34, now called the Discovery Lodge.

But we were so captivated by the beauty of the area that we added a couple of nights to our stay before returning home to Kansas City. In the decades that followed, we didn’t want to spend our precious summer vacation anywhere else. Year after year we made Estes Park our summer home away from home. During that long ago summer of 1960, a lifelong love affair began between my family and the charm of Estes Park, the fun at the YMCA of the Rockies and the splendid majesty of Rocky Mountain National Park.

This is a very common story that can be told, I’m sure, by perhaps tens of thousands of people, especially folks from the flat, humid middle-of-the-country somewhere to the east of Colorado. Our permanent homes are in other, quite different regions, but a large part of our hearts reside in high Estes where we have spent sizable parts of many years. This very special place has immeasurably enriched our lives.

Last week, after a too-long absence, I was again able to experience the thrill of cresting that eastern ridge of the Estes Valley on Highway 36, see the town before me and spend the first 10 days of August here this summer. It’s amazing to me how unchanged Estes remains throughout the past 56 years.

Yet with the expectation of every visit in this very familiar place, there is the implied promise of something new and unexpected, some new discovery on trails hiked dozens of times or being a part of something that has never been experienced before.

In the early years of my visits in the 1960s, seeing elk was a very rare treat. But in the past 30 years, the elk have become so numerous that they are commonly seen, although during my trip a week ago, I saw many more deer than elk. Seeing moose was never reported in those long-ago days, but I saw four moose this trip.

I’ve walked around Sprague Lake countless times through the years, but I’ve never before seen a large bull moose calmly resting under a tree just twenty yards off the trail like I did this year. I was drawn to the very familiar beauty of Sprague, but I was more than rewarded by seeing the unexpected, tranquil moose in close proximity.

On my hike to Lake Isabelle last week in

Indian Peaks I saw one of the most extraordinary things I’ve ever seen on any hike. Two bull moose, one following the other, ran for a distance of about 30 yards in Long Lake just off the lakeshore. The bull with the smaller rack of antlers was leading the second bull with a substantially larger rack. The splashes from their running topped their height. It was thrilling to observe these normally lumbering animals as they enjoyed all the splashing they were causing. Then they calmly left the water and started munching foliage right next to the shore.

Part of the spell of Estes and Rocky is that no matter how many times you’ve vacationed here and how familiar certain trails in the Park or locations in the town are, there are always enthralling new discoveries and enchantments mixed in with the wellknown.

This year for the first time, I had the joyous privilege of staying high above Estes in a historic cabin built in 1917. Every nook and cranny of the cabin was filled with mementoes of five generations of one family who made the cabin their home for the summer.

Displayed on one wall was a pencil drawing

by Lyman Byxbe. I’ve always loved art and can remember walking into Mr. Byxbe’s small, narrow storefront studio on Elkhorn in the early 1960s. I purchased directly from Mr. Byxbe himself, three small original drawings of scenes in the Park. Seeing Byxbe’s work reminded me of my own quality souvenirs of mid-twentieth century Estes Park and made me feel right at home in this charming rustic cabin.

There are certain pilgrimages I must make every time I come to Estes. One is to shop at the quaint log cabin MacDonald Bookstore on Elkhorn and another is to eat at the historic Baldpate Inn. Both are infused with the history of Estes along my personal history of many visits with my family and friends through the years. Another must-do tradition is to sit on the Y’s Administration Building porch, enjoying the view of the Mummy Range and watching all the busy comings and goings of happy families at the Y. Estes Park is a very special place full of history and suffused with both personal and community memories. Yet every moment of the present is also abundant with the unexpected: new discoveries in very old places, all surrounded by a compelling beauty and charm. A home away from home.

August “Explore Our Store” Showcased TrendZ At The Park And The Grey House

“SET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER…” Long ago a prophet went to a king to give him alarming news. Hezekiah had been feeling ‘under the weather’ and he wanted ‘good news’ from Isaiah. Instead Isaiah told him, “Set your house in order for you will surely die and not live.” A message that all of us will probably receive at some point in the future. How will we react to the news?

As I was thinking about this Old Testament account I received word that a man whom I had shaken hands with two weeks ago, had suddenly become ill and passed away.

While I was still reflecting on the loss of this dear man and thinking about how uncertain life is, I received a call from a Longmont Christian Business Men’s fellowship… made up largely of older men… that I was their scheduled speaker for this week. Coupled with these was the need to get an article to EPNews shortly. So, I decided that, since the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death and things that needed to be done in preparation for our transition, were on my mind, my article and message to the Men’s group would touch on some things we need to be aware of in view of our mortality and in preparation for our own ‘leaving’, whenever that may be.

I have been blessed in that besides being a minister, I am privileged to serve as a Hospice Volunteer, working with people who are preparing for their transition, and as a co-facilitator of a Grief Group that ministers to survivors of spouses and others who have passed away. In light of that, perhaps I can offer suggestions for all of us to think about…even adopt before that time comes, to help us be more ready to face that day and help our loved ones prepare for that time. Let me briefly list some things we can all do.

First of all, all of us need to decide what should be done if we become terminally ill.

We have choices that we can make about ourselves, rather than leaving it up to our loved ones to decide. Do we want to be ‘resuscitated’ if our heart stops and we die, to be ‘brought back’, especially if it means we will be incapacitated, and/or ‘simply exist’? Do we want to be artificially ‘kept alive’ if there is no hope of recovery? Many Hospice patients desire to be just kept comfortable as they make their inevitable departure. From Hospice you can get a booklet: ‘Five Wishes’ to help in this.

Second of all, when it comes to what needs to be done following our demise, we can be helpful in telling our loved ones whether we want to be buried or cremated. Along with that decision, what do we want done with our remains? Buried, stored, or scattered?

Thirdly, it will be helpful if we write down some things to help loved ones plan the memorial service. What songs or scriptures are our favorites? Who do we want to conduct or participate in the service? We can provide information for our obituary.

Fourthly, it goes without saying that we need to have made a will so all will know how our resources should be dispensed. An attorney can help with this.

Finally, and certainly most Important, is to examine ourselves and see if we are ready to meet God, when our ‘call’ comes. All should long to hear Him say, “Well done!” Search the Scriptures to help you determine where you stand with God. God bless.

Bob

TrendZ at the Park “Explore Our Store” continued in August with visits to TrendZ at the Park and The Grey House. Representatives from the Ambassadors and Visitor Center staff, Estes Valley Partners for Commerce, Downtown Business Partners, Visit Estes Park, and the Estes Area Lodging Association enjoyed checking out each store’s offerings and hearing great presentations from the store representatives and owners.

Forever Resorts, based on Scottsdale, AZ, owns and operates TrendZ at the Park, which was established in 2006 and is located at 100 E. Elkhorn Avenue.

Trendz focuses on home décor, gifts, jewelry, and other great mountain retail product, with employees welcoming guests to browse with their hands, encouraging customers to “not be afraid to touch anything!” The store is adding new items every single day, and concentrates on adjusting their selection with all shifts in clientele and customer demographic.

Their goal is to adjust with the times and offer something unique for all who visit and live in Estes Park. The group of attendees was surprised to receive a 20% discount for any shopping completed that day – thanks, Trendz on the Park with Forever Resorts!

Next, the “Explore Our Store” group traveled a short ways down the street to

The Grey House

The Grey House, 130 E. Elkhorn Avenue.

Owners and sisters Dani Stafford and Dena King were there to welcome everyone and complete a tour of the store.

They opened on May 19, 2013, just in time to welcome the September floods!

They stayed the course, though, and are excited to have recently celebrated their third year of business. As a tribute to their families, Dani’s son, Graham, is the namesake for The Grey House, and Dena’s daughter Ellie is represented by the shining light at the top of the house in their logo. The Grey House primarily offers clothing for men and women, with a small area for babies up to 24 months (including newly- added toddler baseball tees!). They focus on being familyfriendly with a comfortable and welcoming environment. Next time you’re on Elkhorn Avenue, “take the shortest hike in Estes – only 18 steps” to the second floor location of the Grey House.

“Explore Our Store” takes place on the second Wednesday of each month, with the first store stop at 9 a.m. and the second at 9:30 a.m. The next event is September 14 at Images of RMNP and Moon Kats Tea Shoppe. All are welcome to attend! If you are interested in having your store featured, contact Charley Dickey at charley.dickey@outlook.com.

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

The program will take place outdoors from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. The performance

will be on the grass in front of the ruins at the top of the Knoll-Willows Open Space located behind Town Hall and the Estes Valley Public Library. A dirt trail is the only way to access the cabin from the small (seven car) parking lot parallel to Wonderview Avenue or for those that are able to hike a short distance, please park at the library or along MacGregor Avenue and access the trail from behind Town Hall. Comfortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses, blankets or folding chairs are encouraged. Free program; no reservations are necessary.

Past & Present: Museum Welcomes Table Setting Creativity

A table setting may be inspired by the past. Or it may evoke something completely modern and original. Using either style—or a blend of both—the public is invited to be part of the first-ever Colorado Table Settings competition. This theme-related event is open to individuals, families, groups, and even children.

Sponsored by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, this year’s theme is “High Country Celebrations — Past and Present.�

Creative Colorado Table Settings 2016 will take place over the weekend of October 21-23 at the Willome Building at the

Aspen Grove Seminar By: Jo Wurst, Field Institute Assistant As August draws to a close, fall emerges in Rocky Mountain National Park. Frostcrested leaves of grass and flowers greet feet as they exit doors. Elk descend from the alpine and fill low-lying valleys. But out of all the transitions autumn brings, none may be as clear as the changing of aspen leaves from green to gold.

Aspen groves draw our attention as fall marches down the mountain. By deciding to not only enjoy this magnificence from a distance but to truly enter into an aspen grove, a vibrant world emerges.

Not only will you find this iconic tree, but the homes of owls, woodpeckers, and swallows. Wildflowers thrive on the grove floor and curious fungi take unimaginable forms. On August 27th, join the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute as naturalist Kevin J. Cook leads will guide participants through these golden giants and the other life aspen groves hold.

Since 1974, Kevin has spent his free time exploring wild life throughout Colorado. He has studies all life groups – bacteria, protists, plants, fungi, and animals. His most recent endeavors have him leading wild life observations and teaching classes focusing on birds, plants, and beyond.

Registration for Aspen Groves: Explore with a Naturalist is required. Please call the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute at 970-586-3262 or online at: www.rmconservancy.org/events.

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. Registrations to enter are due by October 1.

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. 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 (200 4th St.) 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.

Estes Arts District Presents Wendhaven On August 23rd

Tuesday Night Live at Performance Park continues August 23rd with Wendhaven, a terrific trio who come highly recommended for an "evening of music nutrition.”

Listeners will love their special sound….a combination of JJ Cale, Knopfler, Fleetwood, A. Krause, Robert Plant, with some country mixed, thinned, trimmed and wound down for easy listening and soulful conversation.

Wendy Swedeen-Dunn, bass player/vocalist moved from Minnesota to Estes Park 20 years ago. She comes from a musical family and has been playing for over 30 years. Wendy has opened for national acts including Waylon, Wynonna, Ray Price, John Anderson, Sammy Kershaw and others with country roots. She enjoys and plays many musical styles.

Tom Barbour, lead guitarist /vocalist, is originally from Oklahoma and so logically counts JJ.Cale, a fellow Okie, as an influence. Tom has been playing since he was a child. Based in Ft. Collins, he has his own country group and has played

with many others. For the past five years, he has entertained the Ft. Collins Mayor every week with his Tom Barbour Jazz Trio. Barbour's smooth style makes for great listening.

Dan Fuller, the drummer, began playing drums in the fifth grade. He was inspired by his father and uncle, who were both drummers. He plays many styles of music and has been fortunate to open for Marcia Ball, Rodney Crowell, Hot Club of Cowtown, David Nelson band, Subdudes and others. He loves trying different drums every week. Wendy and Tom never know what he is going to bring…maybe pots and pans. Dan is excited to be playing with the Wendhaven Trio who keep it lively! Cool fact: Wendy and Dan are neighbors!

So grab a blanket, a beverage, and join us for a special sound and a waningsummer evening at Performance Park (435 W. Elkhorn, Estes Park) at 7 p. m.

The Tuesday Night Live concert is free but donations to support the Estes Arts District and local performers are happily accepted.

Volunteers Build New Trail At Hermit Park Open Space Earlier this month, about 50 volunteers assisted Larimer County Department of Natural Resources with building a new trail at Hermit Park Open Space.

With support from Larimer County staff, the volunteers constructed roughly 1,500 feet of trail over two days. Volunteers for the project consisted of groups from Larimer County, Overland Mountain Bike Club, Estes Park Cycling Coalition and Larimer County Horseman’s Association.

“The volunteers were a big help in building rock walls, pulling out tree stumps, giving insight into the multi-use trail, and bringing their passion and excitement for the new trail with them both days,” said Joel Schwab, trails and open lands project supervisor for Larimer County Department of Natural Resources. “Thank you also to Overland Mountain Bike Club for helping to fuel volunteers with breakfast and snacks for the hard days’ work.”

The volunteers worked on a new, roughly 6-mile, multi-use trail coming to Hermit Park Open Space. The trail is expected to be wrapped up in the next two years. It will connect the camping areas at the open space and include new trailheads for access.

“We look forward to working with all of these volunteers and groups in the future,” Schwab said, “and thank them for their support of the new trail coming to Hermit Park.”

The project was a special volunteer opportunity organized for the 20th anniversary of the Help Preserve Open Spaces sales tax in 2016. Volunteer projects like this give the citizens of Larimer County a chance to get outside and get their hands dirty in support of lands conserved through the tax.

The Glen Haven Area Volunteer Fire Department and Auxiliary say a gigantic thank you to the many Estes Park businesses who supported our annual pancake breakfast. This event is our main source of revenue for the coming year.

Once again, due to the generosity of the Estes Park business community, it was a great success. Special thanks go to The Egg & I, Estes Park News, Estes Park Rent All, Hobert Office Services, Kind Coffee, Trail Gazette, and YMCA of the Rockies. You provided the publicity to draw the 555 attendees, the delicious food and drinks they enjoyed, tables and chairs for comfortable seating, and a golf cart to transport guests. Many other individuals and businesses donated items for the silent auction, which garnered over $4,000. There are too many of you to mention, but we want you to know we deeply appreciate your contributions too.

Our organization will continue to strive to! serve the community with excellence and we thank you all for helping to make that possible.

I Love Lucy "I love Lucy" says Sonja McTeague, because she owns a 1927 two-door Oldsmobile Sedan named Lucy. Lucy is a beautiful "plain Jane" gal with a body and chassis that are free of dents and rust.

car was named Lucy after the song "Lucille, the Merry Oldsmobile" which was popular in the early 1900s. Sonja became the exclusive owner of Lucy in 1985 upon her father's death. She has pampered and coddled the car ever since by garaging it year round.

As time goes by, Lucy has not kept up with new-fangled mechanical stuff, so recently she has been upgraded and modernized to some extent by Craig Bigler, President of the Estes Park Car Club. Craig has worked wonders under Lucy's hood. She now possesses numerous fuses, each with its own circuit, an operative oil filter, new bright headlights and new automatic turn signals. No more hand signaling with Lucy, she now broadcasts

The old gal Lucy takes after her owner, in terms of being classy in a conservative way. But this gal has a past that is interesting. She was formerly owned by a patient of Sonja's chiropractor father. When the woman couldn't pay for his doctoring, she handed in the car's title in exchange for her $25 chiropractic bill.

The year was 1949 and Sonja's older siblings taught her to drive Lucy, even though she was only nine years old. The

The upgrade performance by Craig was aided by Hugh, Sonja's other love. Although puzzled by Craig's wiring project, Hugh stayed around during the daily process until completion.

Hugh was an admirer and gopher to helping Craig finish the job.

Lucy is like a new car now, with the exception of her speed. She sounds and looks young for her age, but like most 89year-olds she maxes her speed at 30 mph.

So if you see a "Plain Jane" black sedan on our roads, don't get frustrated at her 30-mph speed because she is doing the best she can, thanks to Craig and Hugh.

If you see Lucy, tell her owner you love her too!

EVENTS IN ESTES PARK

Award Winning Film To Screen In Estes Park

On August 23rd at 7:30 p.m. The Park Theater will present Father Unknown, an award winning film featuring former Estes Park resident Urban Quint and his brave attempt to solve the mystery of his origins by returning to the orphanage in Switzerland where he lived as a child.

Captured on a camera phone as it happened, Father Unknown is the true story of a man’s struggle to face the emptiness he carries inside. Disconnected from the

people closest to him and haunted by the secrecy in his family, he records his desperate search for connection on a journey with the father he's never truly known.

Father Unknown has screened for audiences at film festivals and select cities across the country including Martha’s Vineyard, San Francisco, Denver, Omaha and Scottsdale. The film has won multiple awards including The Audience Choice Award at the Lifetree Film Festival in Loveland, CO. After the screening, Denver filmmaker David Quint will host an audience conversation about his father’s lifechanging journey. “Conversation and connection are at the heart of Father Unknown and we’re excited to bring his story to Estes Park.” David’s father, Urban Quint, will also be in attendance at the screening.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at www.HistoricParkTheatre.com/FatherUnknown as well as at the door. A trailer of Father Unknown and additional information is available at www.FatherUnknown.com.

Animal Medical Center Of Estes Park Achieves High Level Of Veterinary Excellence

The Animal Medical Center of Estes Park has achieved the highest level of veterinary excellence following a thorough evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). The Animal Medical Center of Estes Park has been an AAHA accredited practice since 1994 and has recently earned AAHA reaccreditation after a rigorous review of the hospital’s practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client service.

Unlike human hospitals, not all animal hospitals are required to be accredited.

Only 12% of all veterinary practices have achieved accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association.

Accredited hospitals are the only hos-

pitals that choose to be evaluated on approximately 900 quality standards that go above and beyond basic state regulations, ranging from patient care and pain management to staff training and advanced diagnostic services. AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized among the finest in the industry, and are consistently at the forefront of advanced veterinary medicine. AAHA standards are continuously reviewed and updated to keep accredited practices on the cutting edge of veterinary excellence. To maintain accredited status, The Animal Medical Center of Estes Park must continue to be evaluated regularly by AAHA. Pet owners look for AAHA-accredited hospitals because they value their pet’s health and trust the consistent, expert care provided by the entire health care team. At AAHA-accredited practices, pet owners can expect to receive the highest quality care from well-trained, professional veterinary teams.

The Animal Medical Center of Estes Park located at 1260 Manford Avenue, can be reached at 970-586-6898.

to Estes Park: Rick Brantley, Mark Selby and Tia Sillers will appear together at the Historic Park Theatre.

This is a concert not to be missed.

Rick Brantley Rick Brantley grew up immersed in music, and when he was barely out of high school, his own songs and red-hot band performances led to a publishing contract and new home base in Nashville.

He’s continued honing his stage chops as both full-tilt rock-show frontman and acoustic solo performer, opening for acts as diverse as John Hiatt, Zac Brown Band, Better Than Ezra, and Steve Earle.

Rolling Stone magazine has heralded Rick as a performer “for fans of those poets of the American experience who deliver narratives with a whisper, a holler and a growl: John Mellencamp, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen.”

Brantley’s brand-new EP -- Lo-Fi -produced by Mark Selby, will be featured during their performance at the Park Theatre. Its songs grew out of his acoustic tour with John Hiatt and leans to Rick’s thoughtful, thought-provoking side.

Mark Selby and Tia Sillers It’s hard to imagine a more successful musical couple—who also have called Estes Park home!—than the husbandwife team of Mark Selby and Tia Sillers.

As songwriters they’ve penned over twenty hit singles, including the Dixie

Mark has showcased his guitar virtuosity and soulful vocals on internationallyacclaimed albums for the Vanguard and ZYX labels, and he has toured or recorded with artists as diverse as B.B. King, Jeff Beck, Kenny Rogers, Wynona and Lynrd Skynrd. His Live At Rockpalast was recently the #1-selling music DVD in Germany. He was inducted this year into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame.

All Things Are Ready Summer’s evanescent lease is up; almost imperceptibly the year turned weeks ago. Today’s sun rises lower and later as September augurs possibly the best weather of the year. High barometric pressure, Aspen hinting of gold, bugling elk (no velvet antlers on the big boys), marauding bears prowling neighborhoods to stock up; all these announce Autumn’s arrival. Fleece caps and gloves for morning runs in crisp mountain air; fewer fishermen around the lake; the Perseids receding in memory; bus driver training and band camp at EPHS; summer festivals and concerts at Performance Park ending soon. Estes awaits snow dusting on Longs Peak and first frost (adios, fresh basil) as we wend toward Winter.

Locals enshrine iconic street corners: Twenty-Fourth and Mission in San Francisco; Forty-Second and Broadway in New York; State and Broad in the Trenton of my youth. Here in Estes Park it’s Elkhorn and Moraine, where for over eighty years the Millers, one of the many merchant families at the heart of Estes Park’s economy, have owned and operated Indian Village on the southwest corner.

Customers entering from Elkhorn’s bustle step into a labyrinthine potpourri to enjoy the convenience of one-stop souvenir shopping. Behind the central counter, seven days a week, stands a serene, poised, soft-spoken, focused woman of a certain age: Toni Miller. She is the proprietor, steadying hand, inexhaustible resource, indefatigable student, lover of opera and Broadway (on Lin-Manuel Miranda: “How can anyone be so brilliant and quick on his feet?” On Jerome Robbins: “He was such a genius.”), and bottomless cornucopia of Estes Park history.

“I like to work hard and don’t ask others to do what I don’t.”

During the Great Depression Toni’s newlywed parents nursed a window-decorating business in Denver. Tough times presaged brighter prospects in a small mountain town adjacent to the new National Park; Miller Curio Company opened on Elkhorn in July 1935. Charlie and Charlotte installed cots and slept in the back of the store, driving to Denver for showers and laundry. A few years later the Millers moved downstreet to open Indian Village in what had been the Hupp Hotel Annex (and before that the 1908 Manford Hotel). Toni’s daily life, workspace, playground and future were now tied to Elkhorn and Moraine.

“I didn’t realize this store was such an important part of people’s Estes Park memories. Returning families bring children to purchase knickknacks they enjoyed years ago.”

Growing up in Estes Park, Toni periodically annoyed Muriel McGregor, who was barely visible over the dashboard of her white sedan as she checked her cattle grazing the East side of Highway 7 in what is now Carriage Hills. Toni would run one way and her brother Bob the other, confounding Muriel, who didn’t approve of teenagers near her herd. Before the land South of Prospect Mountain was

developed, Toni and Bob wandered through open meadows all the way to Marys Lake Lodge for pinball and five cent sodas. Toni regularly walked up Elkhorn to Rexall Drug for a fountain milkshake. She watched each morning as wranglers from Silver Lane Stables (now the site of Safeway gas) drove horses up to the Elkhorn Lodge and then back in the late afternoon. In the 1940s and 1950s Navajo dancers performed three shows daily in Miller Curio Company, and Navajo silversmith Tom Bahe worked seasonally after World War II to produce elegant jewelry.

“I sweep the floor and sidewalk, and start cleanup after messes in the store.”

Decades ago Elkhorn and Moraine were closed off and blocked from traffic each evening for the “gunfight” (imagine that today). Toni delighted when the “undertaker” in stovepipe-hat and long black coat measured the “villain” to ensure an appropriately-sized coffin. The gunfight was later moved to Bond Park, and disappeared altogether after someone forgot to check a pistol for real bullets (the victim survived). The offending weapon graced town manager Gary Klaphake’s office for years as a cautionary reminder. Other memories tug at heartstrings. A car hastily turning onto Moraine crashed into the store in the 1970s. The 1982 Lawn Lake flood pushed a wall of water down Elkhorn Avenue and smashed a tree through the front window, depositing a mud line seven feet high. Happily the store’s angled door diverted the streaming current and reduced water damage during the 2013 flood.

“The thing about longevity is that some people call us an institution as they share what the store means to them.”

The main attraction at Indian Village is Native American jewelry. Toni and husband Pete Lasho have gathered an astounding array of earrings, bracelets, brooches, rings and other hand-crafted turquoise and silver jewelry from trading posts in Gallup, Shiprock, Albuquerque and Zuni Pueblo. In addition, a leisurely walk through the store reveals thousands of additional items for sale, including jams and jellies, pins, necklaces, pendants, t-shirts, post cards, walking sticks, baseball caps, jigsaw puzzles, pottery, Zuni fetishes, stuffed animals, pennants, cowboy hats, cookbooks, dream catchers, money clips, watchbands, wildflower seeds, phone chargers, hoodies, jackknives, calendars, Colorado history books, pullovers, blankets, hat tacs, pillows, socks, pajama bottoms, doodads, curios, baubles, tchotchkes, novelties, ornaments and trinkets of all kinds. If they

don’t have it, you don’t need or want it.

“In life there aren’t many simple answers.”

Today Toni and Pete operate both Indian Village in Estes and a similar venture on Congress Street in Tucson, to which they will return after Labor Day. Pete volunteers at the Pima air museum, and for the past fifteen years Toni has

been a docent at the Tucson Zoo. Estes Park and Tucson benefit from Toni’s and Pete’s deep-rooted and longstanding contributions. What more could a community ask of its people?

broad range of health problems and on the development of skills that will help children reach their full potential. Parents and caregivers have a tremendous opportunity to provide positive experiences that help children develop a positive self-image. Our self-image is how we see ourselves and it forms early in life through verbal and non-verbal, conscious and unconscious, adult-child interactions. Children who are loved unconditionally by the significant adults in their life will learn self-acceptance and self appreciation, both of which contribute to building positive self-esteem.

Here are some tips for parents and others for helping children develop positive self-esteem: Catch children “being good!” We often only react when children do something wrong rather than taking the time to notice and reward the positive. Make a point of finding something to praise everyday.

Give children undivided attention.

Show individual children that you value what they have to say by genuinely listening to their ideas, opinions and feelings.

Keep expectations realistic. Recognize that each child is an individual who will develop at his or her own pace. Adjust your expectations to the child’s age, temperament, and background.

Create a safe, nurturing environment.

Make your environment a safe haven for

children. Avoid arguing or fighting with other adults in front of children, and establish rules about how disagreements will be handled.

Choose your words carefully. Children are very sensitive to adults’ words. Remember to praise children, more for their effort than their performance.

Offer choices. Whenever possible, allow children to make choices appropriate to their age level. Allowing children to experiment, make mistakes and learn in non-threatening, situations helps build confidence.

Do good deeds. Teach children, by example, to say and do good deeds. It builds strong character and produces positive feelings of self-worth.

Bottom line: We all have a responsibility to seize the opportunity to promote positive social-emotional development, starting from birth, if our youngest and most vulnerable children are going to meet their full intellectual, emotional and social potentials.

Five Week Beginning Yoga Series Offered

A five-week Beginning Yoga Series will be offered at MedX in Estes Park on Thursday evenings beginning September 1 through September 29. The class will be taught by local yoga instructor Nina Kunze, and will run from 6-7 p.m. MedX members and non-members both are welcome to attend. Cost for the 5-week series is $40, and advance registration and payment is required.

The class is ideal for first-time beginners, and those with some yoga experience are welcome, too. Teaching will feature a foundation of yoga history and philosophies to help students better understand the practice as a whole. Students will learn basic Hatha Yoga poses and their Sanskrit names, as well as Pranayama (breathing) and meditation techniques for stress management.

Students should be able to kneel on the floor and get up and down without diffi-

culty to participate. Students should wear loose, stretchy clothing (no jeans) and plan to practice with bare feet. Yoga props are available to borrow if needed.

Nina was certified as a Yoga Instructor in 2009 with the Shambhava School of Yoga, which operates Shoshoni Yoga Retreat near Nederland, Eldorado Mountain Ashram near Boulder, and Om Ananda Yoga in Fort Collins. She taught Hatha Yoga in Fort Collins for five years before moving to Estes Park full time in the spring of 2015, where she continues to teach at MedX. Nina’s passion is introducing yoga to people and seeing them benefit by reducing pain, improving balance, strength and flexibility over time with regular practice.

EVICS Art Gala Fundraiser: Colorado Through The Eyes of A Child Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS) is well known for providing support and resources to children and families in the Estes Valley. You may have referred a friend to our Parents As Teachers (PAT) program when they shared their stress as a new parent. Perhaps you are an educator and have benefitted from one of our professional development opportunities. Have you attended a community playgroup or family night event with your child? Maybe your employee has received a childcare scholarship? EVICS has been dedicated to children and families of the Estes Valley for 10 years and we are ready to celebrate with YOU! EVICS is excited to announce an upcoming fundraising event to celebrate our 10th anniversary and secure support to continue impacting the lives of children and families for decades to come!

Please save the date for the EVICS Art Gala Fundraiser: Colorado, Through the Eyes of a Child. This fun event will take place Friday, November 4, 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., at the Trout Haven Event Center, 800 Moraine Ave. This is an adult event, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be filled with the wonders of childhood. Experience how children from our community view the world! Our theme, Colorado, Through the Eyes of a Child, will guide the creation of artwork by children in a variety of mediums. What will a six year old child choose to photograph to show the beauty of Colorado? How will mountains be portrayed in a watercolor by an eight year old? Join us to enjoy an art gala highlighting the works of local children and youth, and celebrate children, nature, creativity, and EVICS. Our gala will be unlike any other as we engage in a myriad of fun activities to bring out the child in us all. Pose in the photo booth, interact with your favorite literary characters from beloved children’s books, purchase an original art piece for your collection, bid in both

silent and live auctions for art-related prizes, and engage in meaningful ways of giving. Don’t forget the food! We’ll enjoy all our childhood favorites, elevated to our adult tastes. From gourmet mac and cheese to the grilled cheese station, you won’t be hungry during this event. Pair a grown up drink like local craft beer and wine, or give in to the cravings of childhood and have a spiked root beer float!

To get the community excited for the gala, EVICS will host small collections of children’s art in local businesses. We’ll create an ArtWalk guide so you and your friends can get a sneak peak at the amazing creations of our youngest artists. If your business would like to participate in the ArtWalk show, contact lmarshall@evics.org.

EVICS is proud to be partnering with Trout Haven Resort and Event Center, local artists, and businesses to engage children of all ages in creativity with this inaugural event. Are you interested in helping? Can your club or group sponsor portions of the gala? Are you an artist interested in sharing your time with children at an art event? Are you an artist compelled to donate a piece of your own work for auction? Can you donate or sponsor art supplies? Does your child want to donate artwork? Do you simply enjoy art and would like to volunteer? EVICS values the generous contributions of the Estes Park community and welcomes your participation.

To see how you can help, contact lmarshall@evics.org.

EVICS is extremely happy to celebrate ten years in service to children and families of the Estes Valley and we are excited to generate support with a fun, unique, event. Mark your calendars, be watching for more details, and be ready to see the world through the eyes of a child at the EVICS Art Gala Fundraiser!

Senior Services To Offer Free Program On Emotional Freedom The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division is offering a free program on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) on Thursday, AuJudith Albright, MA, gust 25 from Advanced EFT Facilitator 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. Space is limited; please call or stop by the Senior Center to sign up.

The program will be presented by Judith Albright, MA, an Advanced EFT Facilitator. According to Judith, “Emotional Freedom Techniques are a form of psychological acupressure that uses gentle tapping with the fingers instead of needles to stimulate traditional Chinese acupuncture points on the face and upper body. Tapping, combined with a series of carefully crafted words and

phrases, automatically relaxes the body and reaches the subconscious mind on a deep level where lasting changes can be made. It is a highly effective way of changing beliefs and relieving negative emotional issues.”

Judith Albright has a stress management practice in Fort Collins that focuses on helping others resolve emotional issues, release negative behavior patterns, and change false beliefs that are limiting and sabotaging their lives. Her specialties include improving self-esteem, overcoming fears and phobias, and helping people recover from abusive childhoods and relationships. For more information about Judith and the techniques she uses, visit www.stressfreewitheft.com.

David Williams is an Emmy winning songwriter (for his work with PBS), cartoonist, writer, multi-instrumentalist, and professor. His new book, The Trickster Brain, deals with neuroscience, story-making, and evolution. He has also published numerous short stories, a book of fiction, and two children’s books with Knopf. His musical influences include everything from gypsy jazz to delta blues, bluegrass and folk. As a singer-songwriter, he is known for his way with words and melodies, which conjure up the American musical landscape. His songs touch on everything from the difficulties of love to the people and places along old Route 66, or a carnival from his childhood, or swing tunes reminiscent of Tin-Pan-Alley—in a wide range of CDs. David has spent decades studying the

passionate guitar work of the famed gypsy swing instrumentalist, Django Reinhardt, and his band, DECO DJANGO, specializes in this infectious music from the 1930s. In the past, David has also recorded and performed with people such as Greg Brown, and he also studied and performed with the great mandolinist Jethro Burns, of Homer and Jethro fame. In addition, David has played at many of the large folk music festivals in North America, such as Vancouver and Winnipeg, where he has been recognized as both a songwriter and instrumentalist.

A working cartoonist, whose work appears around the world through Carlton Cards and Soultrader of London, David has been a writer in residence at a number of colleges and universities in the US. He has written and recorded ALA and NAPPA award-winning albums for children, and was the principle the songwriter for the new PBS children’s show The Big Green Rabbit, for which he won an Emmy in 2009. His songs on youtube have over 80 million hits, and many of those have been incorporated into Animalooza, a new program for children.

Suggested donation at the door is $5.

As excited as your child may be about starting school, he or she may also be feeling a little bit anxious or worried.

This is quite normal. After all, attending kindergarten is a pretty big life change for your child! The Estes Valley Library can help increase your child’s comfort level and decrease anxiety by presenting a storytime session just for children beginning school in the fall.

The “Kindergarten Here We Come!” storytime will be on Saturday, August 20th 11:00 a.m. in the Hondius Room at the public library. Children will enjoy a variety of songs, rhymes, books, and puppet shows geared towards starting the adventure of Kindergarten.

A special PowerPoint presentation will take the kindergartners on a tour of the Estes Park Elementary School. Puppet character Chester will share with his friend Rosie what he’s packed in his new backpack for school. Fortunately Rosie’s there to get him back on the right track.

No registration is needed for the “Kindergarten Here We Come!” storytime. The event celebrates this special time of excitement and wonderment for kindergarteners of the Estes Valley. It's designed to help kids and their family transition into school and make this a memorable milestone.

While you’re visiting the library, explore all the areas in the library’s youth room and discover all kinds of fun things to help your child develop a love of reading. Your Library is a partner in helping you help your child become a

successful reader with information, books and materials, programs and other resources designed for your Kindergartener to kick off this important upcoming school year.

New this year is Launchpads, tabletlearning devices loaded with educational apps. These devices check out for one week and 10 new titles are on their way to the library and will be available this fall. Themes of the Launchpads include reading, math, science, art and more.

Children can benefit from checking out audiobooks, too. Studies show it improves reading comprehension, builds vocabulary and pronunciation and encourages the love of reading and stories.

The Library has several formats including CDs, MP3 (Playaway) and new digital streaming (through Hoopla).

Don't forget the most important school supply for your child…. their own Estes Valley Library card! Getting a library card is easy. The parent or legal guardian must sign the application for a child under 18 and have proper identification such as a valid driver's license.

Your new Kindergartener has moved from early childhood programs at the library to school-aged programs. Look for afterschool offerings including STEM programs and Try-it Tuesday Hand’s-on fun and Saturday Book Clubs.

Your youth librarians also work with those wonderful folks at Estes Park Elementary School to bring “big ticket” literacy experiences including visiting author/illustrator, theater productions and puppet performances and more.

Keep up to date on Children and Teen programs by visiting the library’s website estesvalleylibrary.org

Presbyterian Golf Outing The Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies’ (PCCR) World Mission Golf Outings are being held very soon, and entries are being taken now for these two events. Although the outings are sponsored by PCCR, players who are not members of the church are most welcome.

The traditional golf outing, coordinated for over 10 years by Dr. Tom and Barby Nichol and many other church members, is scheduled for the 9-hole Lake Estes Golf Course on the morning of Saturday, August 27, starting at 9:00 a.m.

Last year, a new event was successfully initiated: a mini-golf outing! This year’s mini-golf outing will be held on Monday evening, August 29, at the 18-hole miniature golf course located at Estes Park Center/YMCA of the Rockies, starting at 7:00 p.m.

Both outings are being organized and coordinated by Dave and Sue Thomas, former Presbyterian Church (USA) mission co-workers, who returned to their Estes Park home three years ago after serving with PC(USA) in México for over eleven years. Proceeds from both outings will support two couples who are among PC(USA)’s denominational mission coworkers around the world: • Amanda Craft and Omar Chan. As Regional Liaison for México and Guatemala, Amanda Craft facilitates PC(USA) support for partner programs, relationships and activities, and implements Presbyterian World Mission’s strategy She supports PC (USA) mission personnel in both countries by sharing information, mentoring/guiding, and encouraging missiological reflection. Amanda also facilitates and seeks to strengthen healthy and effective relationships between PC(USA) congregations and presbyteries and their partners in México and Guatemala. Her husband,

Omar Chan, serves as facilitator for Presbyterian Border Region Outreach. Omar is a co-worker with the six ministry sites that previously comprised Presbyterian Border Ministry. Amanda and Omar have two sons: Ethan Alejandro and Kenneth Matteo.

• Luta and Rev. Jeremy Garbat-Welch.

As Africa Community Health Facilitator, Luta Garbat-Welch advises partners in five African countries on community health and development programs. She is a coworker with PC(USA)’s partners in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Malawi, South Sudan and Zambia, promoting the development of Community Health Evangelism, uniting people for evangelism, community health and discipleship. From their home base in Malawi, Luta makes periodic visits to the other four countries to help partners learn from one another. Jeremy is a trained chaplain and is exploring opportunities to become a co-worker with the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian, which has expressed interest in chaplaincy training.

Luta and Jeremy have two sons: Jathniel and Azai.

Both outings are for golfers of all ability levels, so practicing for hours on the putting green or driving range is not necessary! The primary goal of both outings is to have some fun while helping to support PC(USA)’s denominational mission coworkers. Entry fees for the traditional golf outing are only $40/individual; $75/couple; $150/team of four players; and $20/children aged nine to 18. Entry fees for the mini-golf outing are just $10/individual; $18/couple; and no fee for children under age nine.

Have you ever wondered how the Old Testament of the Bible fits together, how it flows and is connected, and what the key themes of all those books are? On Saturday September 17th, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Allenspark Community Church will be presenting Walk Through the Old Testament. Taught by a trained facilitator and teacher with the nationally recognized ministry of Walk Through the Bible, this seminar will help you answer all of those questions and more. Recognizing that people learn in a variety of ways, this program will include teaching, video, movement that reinforces learning; all designed to help

you come away with a better understanding of the Old Testament.

The cost is only $20 which includes the seminar, a workbook, and lunch. Registration is underway and you can get registered or get answers to your questions by contacting the church at 303-7472821 or by email at apcconline@gmail.com.

The Allenspark Community Church is located 15 miles south of Estes Park in the center of Allenspark, across from the post office at 16 Washington Street.

Please visit www.allensparkcommunitychurch.org for more information about the church.

Great Hymns Of Faith: 2016 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 4 p.m. 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.

Hypnotic Comic Comes To Allenspark For Rocky Mountain High-Larity

Want to enjoy a world-class comedy show that includes hypnosis? Then head over to the Second Annual Rocky Mountain High-Larity comedy night at The Old Gallery in Allenspark. This year’s event will star Comic/Hypnotist Rusty Z. The event takes place on Saturday, August 20 at 8 p.m.

“Rusty Z was our opening act last year.

The crowd enjoyed his performance so much, we invited him to put on a full show this year,” said Holly Bea-Weaver, coordinator for the event at The Old Gallery. “He is one of the few hypnotist/comics in the country. It’s a very unusual and entertaining show that everyone will enjoy.”

Rusty Z has been feature on A&E, Comedy Central and is a regular at Comedy Works and the famed Lanny’s Clocktower in Denver. He toured the country as a stand-up comedian before learning hypnosis. “Instead of the usual ‘canned’ hypnosis demonstrations that a

magician, DJ or hypnotherapist-turnedstage-hypnotist dishes out, Rusty Z delivers a screamingly funny performance that will ultimately convince all skeptics and naysayers in the audience.

Denver-based comic and comedy writer Jeff Smith will open the show. “He’s been making people laugh for more than 25 years and I know the crowd will love him,” said Rusty Z. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for those 15-18 years of age. No children under 15 can attend. Tickets are available at The Old Gallery and Distant Harbors in Allenspark, Macdonald Book Shop in Estes Park and through brownpapertickets.com. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

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

The Old Gallery recently completed a renovation project, which is being funded by a Capital Campaign, donations and grants. Additional donations can still be made at www.theoldgallery.org.

Square dancing has returned to Allenspark, and all are invited! “This Sunday marks the second square dancing event this summer at The Old Gallery in Allenspark and we’re expecting another great crowd,” said Elisabeth Sherwin, Chair of the Advisory Board for The Old Gallery in Allenspark.

“We hosted our first square dancing event—complete with a caller and live band—on July 3,” she said. “More than 60 people participated, from young children to grandparents and everyone in between!”

“This Sunday we’re hosting our second square dance from 7-9 p.m. at The Old Gallery,” said Sherwin. “It’s open to anyone who wants to learn how to square dance, as well as those who know what they’re doing.

You don’t have to come with a partner, either.

All are welcome!”

Chris Kermiet will again serve as the square dance caller, and local band Sage Grouse will provide live square dancing music. Sage Grouse consists of Dave Brown on fiddle, Pat Carbone on banjo and Ellen Rosenberg on guitar. A $10 donation to The Old Gallery is sug-

Electronic Recycle Day At Last!

By: Judi Smith

Last May the company that has here-to-fore provided electronics recycling in Estes Park suddenly discovered that they were underbidding the project and the proposed up front fee was more than the Town or the League of Women Voters & Community Recycling Committee could justify. This base fee was in addition to individual recycling fees. However, after extensive research, we have discovered that we can partially mitigate this cost – providing that we provide the labor. Any and all hands are welcome!

Contact Ranee Morrison to volunteer by emailing her at grannyranee@msn.com The Town of Estes Park has offered to share the remaining base fee and to progested. vide free space at the fairgrounds for this The Old Gallery is a center for commu- venture, which makes it possible to purnity and the arts in Allenspark, just 20 sue the project!

We cannot accept certain items: including mattresses, tube TVs, electronic CPUs, or large furniture, but you may post these items on our bulletin board or stay to find an interested party. (Updated information will be available as the date draws near.) For more information, or to volunteer, contact Kathy Bowers at ksbd@mac.com From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., individuals, whether or not you contributed, are welcome to “shop” for new “treasures” for your own households. Past events have featured a Barbie bike, a composter, a complete Kitchenaid station, an IBM printer, small desks and desk chairs, and innumerable bicycles.

As usual, we plan to ask our Planet Partners (who publically collect used items for reuse or recycling) to partner in this endeavor – either freecycling, recycling, or collecting used items for charitable purposes. If you belong in our Planet Partner Program please contact RRRcyc2se@gmail.com If an item still has a life expectancy, bring it to Freecycle Estes in Barn W and let someone else enjoy it. If electronics are clean but unusable, recycle them in the parking lot. And put the date Oct. 8 on your calendar now! Don’t miss Recycling Day. It’s a great way to make more space in your closets or, at Freecycle Estes, to find a treasure for your own household.
