Wildflower Mercantile Recognized As “Business Bright Spot� The Estes Park in Bloom steering committee presented the “Business Bright Spot� award to Wildflower Mercantile July 21. The committee presented a traveling sign for the property, a window cling and a framed certificate of recognition to owner Sandra Petrie. The designation of a “Business Bright Spot� recognizes a business that places emphasis on beautifully maintained landscapes, floral displays and a tidy store front. Wildflower Mercantile is the third business to receive this designation in 2017, joining Hotel Estes and River Spruce Cabins. The committee will award the next “Business Bright Spot� Aug. 4. The program will continue every other Friday through the month of September. To nominate a business, please contact Keri Kelly at 970-577-3782 or kkelly@estes.org. Wildflower Mercantile is located at 238

West Elkhorn Ave. and was established in October 2014 by owner Sandra Petrie. The building, with its unique architecture, makes a perfect location for Petrie’s vintage-inspired gift and home dÊcor store. The current displays in front of the store include floral planters in rustic wagons and carts. Petrie planted the floral displays in May, when they were nearly destroyed in a hail storm. Instead of disposing of the flowers, she nursed the tattered stems back to health where they are now an eye-catching fixture in front of her store.

Estes Park is celebrating Founders Day this Saturday August 5. What a great idea to turn our zip code 8 05 17 into the date to celebrate one of our centennial events! The Veterans Monument Committee is joining in the festivities and manning our tent with not founders of Estes Park but those who have been foundations of our nation—VETERANS! We will have those who have served from World War II through current recent retirees. We invite everyone to come by, meet a few Estes Park veterans, and learn about the veterans monument being built here. The activities are in Bond Park from 11:00 to 5:00. We will have displays about our veterans, the monument and military handouts. The fundraising for the monument is going forward, the goal being to dedicate the monument this coming Veterans Day. Information on how you can be a part of this program, including having a veteran recognized on the bronze benefactor plaque, will be available at the tent. If you can’t be there Saturday and want information about the monument or other veteran activities, feel free to call LTC (R) Gary R. Brown at 979 586 2021. So come by the tent and shake the hand of someone who served in uniform. They all have an interesting story to tell! The photo above is of a World War II veteran who has lived in Estes Park since 1972. Do you know him? Answer next week

Shrek Jr. Sunday Show Cancelled Due To Flooding-Your Options Last weekend, Estes Park suffered a freaky squall that included an amazing downpour on one side of town that included the high school. The onslaught flooded hallways, part of the auditorium, etc. The school district required that the Fine Arts Guild cancel its Sunday performance of Shrek, the Musical Jr. It was very, very disappointing for the students and the Fine Arts Guild budget. The Guild would like to offer three options for those who paid for tickets (not

complimentary tickets) for Sunday. 1-Contact the Fine Arts Guild at info@fineartsguild.org to arrange for a refund. 2. Keep the ticket(s) and use for admission to our next production, Crimes of the Heart, which will be performed in October. 3. Consider the ticket purchase a donation to the Fine Arts Guild's Youth Theater Camp (for which we will be very grateful). Thank you for your support and understanding!

New Facilities Maintenance Supervisor Tackles Estes Valley Community Center From Inside Out On July 17, Jason Lykins stepped into his new role for a newly created position for one of the newest buildings in Estes Park. But it isn’t a building yet; it is still in the construction phase and that is why Jason is starting now. Jason was hired by the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District as the Facilities Maintenance Supervisor for the new Estes Valley Community Center. Starting now, while the building is still a shell of its planned structure, will allow Jason to see the inner workings from the inside out every step of the way. The construction crew from Adolfson and Peterson Construction will also be able to teach him about everything going into the 70,000square-foot, state-of-the-art facility. “I am excited to be on the ground floor of the opening of the new community center,” said Jason. “Who could pass up an opportunity to work in a new building. It is going to be an amazing and really impressive facility.” Jason grew up in the Bay Area outside of San Francisco, Calif. but also spent some of his youth in Colorado Springs and most recently lived in Florida. While in Florida, he worked as a superintendent for a home builder but the company went bankrupt during the Great Recession. “I was familiar with Estes Park because my family has a condo here,” said Jason. “That is what drew me back to Colorado.” Coming back to Colorado during the recession meant it was tough to find a construction job so Jason applied his construction skills to property management positions. His first job in Estes Park was as the Facilities Manager for Rocky Mountain Resorts, a business that owns condos, cabins and vacation homes. Then he worked for Della Terra Mountain Chateau as the Maintenance Supervisor. “I was excited about this position because of the fact I could use my skills in construction and be hands on,” said Jason. “I like that I will have ties to the community, be involved with the community and be a part of the recreation district.” When asked what he was looking forward to doing at the facility, Jason said,

“kind of everything but I am most excited about all of the technology going into the building.” The community center will have a building automation system. Jason explained that this is a computer-based system that will monitor everything in the building through software on a laptop. If the heating system is due for inspection, the system will alert him. If the pool filter is clogged, the system will alert him. If the warranty is getting ready to expire on the smoke detectors, the system will alert him. “It is a daunting task to pull this building together but it seems everyone I will work with has an awesome and impressive handle on their roles,” said Jason. “Their openness and willingness to teach has been wonderful.” Jason has a strong passion for construction and building things; he recently remodeled a small camper—complete with new cedar siding—a friend gave him for free. He feels the community center project is a great mix of construction and facility maintenance where he will get to use all of his skills and expertise while learning a little more about commercial construction, which has very different aspects compared to residential construction. “I enjoy walking and working with all consultants on a project,” said Jason. “I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of construction and working with my hands. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.” It sounds like the accomplishment of EVRPD is getting Jason to join their team. Outside of work, Jason enjoys camping and hiking but also dabbles in tubing. He currently lives in Estes Park with his girlfriend, two dogs and a cat. For more information about the new Estes Valley Community Center, visit www.evrpd.com. About Estes Valley Recreation and Park District: Estes Valley Recreation and Park District is a quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado. Established in 1955, the organization’s goals are to plan, direct, organize and implement recreational programs, manage facilities and provide public park and recreation opportunities for residents and visitors of the District, an area that encompasses 320 square miles.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com Whoever came up with the idea to celebrate Estes Park’s very own, unique ZIP Code on the fifth day of the eighth month of the year of our lord two thousand seventeen is brilliant. 8/05/17. It’s the only day in our long-legged lives when we will get to celebrate on the exact date that matches our ZIP Code. The next such opportunity will be a hundred years from now in 2117. I don’t plan to be around and I’m guessing you don’t expect to be either. ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan, and the official style used by the Postal Service is with all caps for ZIP and a capital C for Code. Of course, we have become lax in its proper use, just like some folks have gotten lazy with their pronouns (I heard an NPR reporter the other day say, “Me and John went to the mayor’s office to hear‌â€? Me and John went? Puh-leez! I hold NPR—and everyone else—to a higher standard than that.) The US Post Office implemented a numbered zone system for mail sorting and delivery in 1943 and expanded it in 1963 to the five-digit code used today. A life-long employee of the Postal Service, Robert Moon, has been credited with creating the ZIP Code, but the Postal Service only gives him recognition for the first three digits, which indicate the specific central mail processing facility to which each piece of mail should be delivered. Moon dreamed up a better way to increase the speed of mail delivery through rain or hail or sleet or snow, but because he proposed a three-number code instead of a five-number code, the United States Postal Service says ZIP Code invention recognition goes to “a committee, â€? and not to Mr. Moon. Da noive! Might I suggest that when you are in Bond Park tomorrow, celebrating 80517, offer up a toast to Mr. Robert Moon, the man behind the ZIP Code. (Moon died in 2001 in a hospital in ZIP Code 34748.) There are 42,000 ZIP Codes in the United States and this is true of each and every

one of them: the first digit represents a group of states. The second and third numbers together indicate a region in that group of states and the fourth and fifth digits represent a group of delivery addresses within that region. The lower ZIP Codes are in New England, with Holtsville, NY being the lowest (00501, which belongs to an IRS building there). The numbers increase as we move westward so by the time we reach Alaska, we’re seeing ZIP Codes like 99950 (Ketchikan, AK, the highest ZIP Code). Naturally, we all want to know if there is a place assigned the ZIP Code 12345. Sure as you can count to five: Schenectady, NY, and more specifically a General Electric office building in Schenectady. And Smokey Bear has his own ZIP Code: 20252. How can that be? There was a real live Smokey Bear who lived at the National Zoo for 26 years. In the ‘60s he received up to 13,000 letters a week so the US Postal Service gave him his own ZIP Code. It’s hard to believe, but that’s what we’re told. The YMCA of the Rockies has its own ZIP Code and you can bet it doesn’t see 13,000 letters a day, so who are we to question Smokey Bear’s popularity among young letter writers? When the USPS made ZIP Code use mandatory in 1967, it used a cartoon character they called Mr. ZIP to promote the use of the 5-digit code. I think we should invite him to our 80517 party tomorrow. I’ve always thought Estes Park needed to host more quirky events similar to Nederland’s Frozen Dead Guy Days or Manitou Springs’s annual Great Fruitcake Toss. Now we’re doing it. 80517! The bash will be at Bond Park from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be bands, games food and beer. ZIP on by! You may let The Thunker know what you think at her e-mail address, donoholdt@gmail.com.

Estes Park Genealogical Society Meeting August 10

The Estes Park Genealogical Society will meet on Thursday, August 10 at 4:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. This month’s speaker, long time Society member Judy Emmett, will discuss “Lineage Societies: The Challenges and Benefits of Joining.” What are lineage societies and how do they differ from genealogical societies? Who joins them and why? These questions and others will be explored in this presentation. While there are many different lineage societies with different focuses, they share common requirements and interests. These will be presented as well as a blueprint for making membership application. Judy Emmett has belonged to three lineage societies. She has held office as Vice President and various committee chair positions. Currently she is a Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Colorado sanctioned state speaker and American Indians Chairwoman for the Namaqua (Loveland) Chapter of the DAR. The Society meets the second Thursday of every month from January through November in the library, offering a wide variety of programs and workshops. Anyone interested in genealogy and family history research is welcome to attend the meetings.

A bright and airy addition has opened in the Lower Stanley Village shopping area — Glow Face and Blow Dry Bar — offering medical-grade skincare, hair styling and makeup application. Glow is the first of its kind in Estes Park. Dermatologist supervised skin treatments and stylists who specialize in blow-outs and event/photoshoot makeup application typically aren’t found outside of metropolitan areas. However, with the large number of weddings, reunions and other events that take place here, the services are sure to catch on. “In addition to helping you look great for a special occasion, we offer treatments and products that will produce real, lasting improvements to your skin,” said Harriette Woodard, owner of Glow. “We anticipate serving visitors who want to look their best for events, as well as locals whose skin and hair need extra sup-

port in our often harsh and very dry climate.” What is proving to be the most popular treatment is the HydraFacial, which uses patented technology to gently sweep away dulling dead skin cells, extract impurities from pores, hydrate the epidermis and then infuse it with antioxidants and peptides. Unlike other facials and chemical peels, there is no pain, overdrying, or down-time. It is a perfect special-occasion treatment because it provides a glassy-smooth base for makeup and has noticeable results that last for weeks. Having a board certified dermatologist who supervises a team of nurses and estheticians is another thing that makes Glow different from other spas. Dr. Kristin Baird oversees advanced training for staff on micro-needling and other treatments; she also provides Botox injections and dermal fillers. Dr. Baird is recognized as an expert in the field of cosmetic dermatology and has practiced medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology for more than a decade. She is board certified and a fellow member of the American Academy of Dermatology. “I am so pleased to be a part of providing these advanced cosmetic treatments in Estes Park,” said Dr. Baird. “I’ve seen the dramatic difference they make for a wide variety of skin concerns.” Later in the month, the community will be invited to join Dr. Baird and the Glow team for a Grand Opening Celebration. To learn more about available services and to schedule an appointment, visit GlowOfEstes.com or call 970-586-5044.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com It is Sunday afternoon, the second to last day of July. The skies are beautiful with only white puffy clouds floating in a gorgeous, blue background. It wasn’t that way around 2 p.m. when the clouds burst with hail and rain and all “heck” broke loose. I know we always console ourselves with “we really need the moisture”…but this much? The storm not only caused a lot of thunder and lightning but flooded the high school’s halls. That in turn caused the darling children’s play, “Shrek,” to be cancelled. This proud grandmother waited all afternoon to go to that performance and see Lexi and Nathan. Lexi had several parts and Nathan was one of the lighting technicians. Those kids had all been to a camp for a week practicing and preparing for the play. I hope that there is an opportunity for them to reschedule and show off their talents and efforts. Being thwarted in my plans as well, I decided to try out a new recipe. I had all the “fixings” and thought “why not.” I can tell you “why not” in just a few words…it sure did not turn out like I had hoped. It is called Mug Pizza..Now doesn’t that sound like a good idea? I mean who would not like to be able to whip up a quick single serving of pizza in the microwave! I do believe that it is a workable recipe but not in my mug. I think you would need a wider base mug so the ingredients could spread out. The taste was not too bad but the bottom layer of dough was much too thick. I am going to try a different container like a cereal bowl. Maybe that will do the trick. In the picture for the recipe it looks more like a very big thick coffee cup, not a mug. Now readers, I am going to give you the recipe and a challenge. I ask y’all to experiment and let me know your successes or failures and what you did differently that made the recipe work. Are y’all up to that?

Mug Pizza 4 Tbs. flour 1/8 tsp. baking powder 1/16 tsp. baking soda 1/8 tsp. salt 3 Tbs. milk 1 Tbs. olive oil 1 Tbs. pasta sauce 1 generous Tbs. shredded mozzarella cheese ½ tsp. grated Parmesan 4 pepperonis, cut in half ½ tsp. Italian seasoning

PEO Breakfast August 11 The Estes Park PEO Group will have breakfast at the Otherside Restaurant Friday, August 11th at 9 a.m. Please call Judy Phillips at 586-4770 if you are interested in joining us. The next meeting will be at the home of Pam Schnetzler on August 28th beginning at 9 a.m. Please call if interested, 586-5870. The program will be, " Off the Wall." All visiting and summer residents of PEO are invited to attend.

Spray mug with Pam. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in microwavable mug (wide mug or small cereal bowl that you can microwave). Add milk and oil and mix all together. Spoon sauce over and spread it over batter. Sprinkle with cheese and herbs. Place pepperoni on top and microwave for 1 minute and 20 seconds (1200 watt oven). Your time will vary if your microwave does not have that wattage. You can vary the topping with just cheese or olives, etc. I still think this is a workable recipe but I need to figure out the correct container. Remember my challenge is to help me to do just that. I will say that the beer I had with the Mug Pizza hit the spot and my hunger is satisfied. I believe the beer did that, not the pizza. Sunshine is pestering me to go for a walk now that the streets are dry. She is going to cause me to either live a long life or die early with all of this walking. But we both do enjoy the lake trail and meeting and greeting the natives and tourists. My only two complaints are the dog walkers who do not pick up after their dogs and runners or bicyclists who whoosh by you without any warning. Someone is going to get hurt that way. Showing courtesy will never cause an accident. My email esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon Appétit.

‘IT’S THE LITTLE FOXES THAT SPOIL THE VINESâ€?‌IN OUR MARRIAGES I have a warm spot in my heart for little foxes. Several years ago I had a garden in Longmont. Several different years I had little foxes watching me as I cultivated the garden to get it ready for seeding. A mother fox would emerge from a nearby culvert and sit in the opening watching me. She always had four ‘kits’ with her. As days went by, she‌and they‌became bolder. When I looked down she would approach, only to scamper back to her ‘kits’ when I looked up. I started taking small meat bits with me and throwing some in her direction. She‌and they‌got closer and closer. Eventually, she would take a piece from my hand and her ‘kits’ followed, one actually chewing on my shoelaces as I sat on a stump by the culvert. I fondly cherish those memories. However, there are times when little foxes are not cherished or appreciated. To grape growers in Palestine, they were hated because they ‘spoiled the vines’. In the Bible, this illustration is used by Solomon in Song of Solomon, to speak of his marriage relationship. Solomon wrote about how he loved one special woman. In the course of telling about what makes relationships special he gave this warning: “It’s the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vinesâ€?. These words apply to all relationships, but are especially relevant to marriages and child-raising. This week and next, I want to look at these. In all my years of counseling married couples this is obvious: it’s usually not the ‘big’ things that put strains on and threaten marriages. It’s usually the ‘little’ things that erode many marriages and, all-too-often, lead to breakdowns in the relationship. I’m sure that you will agree that where you have seen couples that were struggling, the ‘little things’ were the most to blame. These, of course, can gradually lead to ‘bigger things’ and the marriage falls apart. Let’s consider some ‘little foxes’. One ‘little fox’ is careless listening. How often we are so drained by our day’s activities that we just don’t talk to one another‌and if one does talk, the other doesn’t listen. I have a counselor friend who told his wife, when she complained that they rarely talked anymore, “Honey, I’ve listened to too many problems today and I’m exhausted from responding to them. If you want to hear my voice, put one of my tapes in the tape player.â€? The breakdown in communication is the number one complaint in troubled marriages. Beware of this ‘little fox’. There are tools that can be used to help. Another ‘little fox’ is failure to do things together. In weddings I do, I encourage the newlyweds to do several things. Along with building their communication skills, they need to become increasingly good ‘companions’. “Most of all, she’s my best friend.â€? Do things that each other enjoys. The couple that ‘plays together’, usually ‘stays together’. A third ‘little fox’ is lack of appreciation or gratitude. Each partner needs to ‘compliment’ the other‌often. Many couples go from day to day without ever saying, “Thank you!â€?, “I’m proud of you!â€?, “That was such a good meal!â€?, “You look great!â€? Sometimes, when this is lacking at home, others with whom a partner works will show that kind of appreciation and kindness, often leading to problems in the relationship. Such comments may not come easy for some, but are so very crucial. Let’s be sure we notice and ward off ‘little foxes’ so our marriages can be strong.

Cut down on fatty foods and added fats and oils, particularly saturated fats, which have been linked to an increased risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Likewise, look for healthy substitutes for dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, which have been implicated in the occurrence of breast and colorectal cancers.

Crimes Of The Heart Auditions To Be Held August 11

The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies announces auditions for Crimes of the Heart, a play in three acts by Beth Henley. Auditions will be held at Hempel Auditorium, YMCA of the Rockies, August 11, 2017 at 6 p.m. and August 12, 2017 at 9 a.m. Performances are October 13-15 and 20-22.

Anyone interested in auditioning who cannot attend either of the open auditions should contact Director, Susan Henshaw at circa54@gmail.com. The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried and facing diminishing marital prospects;

Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast, while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by the priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. The cast: Lenny Magrath, the oldest sister Chick Boyle, the sisters’ first cousin Doc Porter, Meg’s old boyfriend Meg Magrath, the middle sister Babe Botrelle, the youngest sister Barnette Lloyd, Babe’s lawyer The script indicates that the characters are in their late 20s and early 30s. If possible actors who can play those ages will be cast, but if necessary, the age range will be increased.

Restorative Justice Golf Tournament August 12 Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership is seeking sponsors and players to participate in its 6th Annual Golf Tournament on August 12, 2017. The tournament will be held at the 18 Hole Golf Course, with an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start. Cost is $80 per golfer which includes green fee, cart, practice balls and 19th hole after party catered by Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ. Golfers will participate in a 4 person scramble format utilizing the Peoria scoring system. New to this year’s tournament are hole in one contests sponsored by McCaddon Buick GMC of Longmont. These contests will be on each par 3 hole, including a chance to win a Buick Encore on hole number 10! For those who are not hole in one golfers, many other contests will be offered with great prizes for winners. Various levels of sponsorship are available for businesses and individuals. Sponsor signs/banners will appear at hole and green locations, registration, special contests, and drink carts. Sponsors will also be acknowledged in the tournament brochure, after party and thank you letters sent to local new outlets. Those interested in sponsoring or in playing can contact Melissa Westover at 970-5773929 for more detailed information. This fun event raises funds to support the efforts of Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership. The initial program, Community Group Conferencing, first began in 2002 as a response to juvenile crime, but has since expanded to accept adult cases. The process brings offender, victim and community together to identify the harms that have occurred and to develop a contract for the offender to complete, that repairs those harms. If the offender completes their contract in the specified period of time, the offender has no criminal conviction on their record. All conferences are facilitated by trained

volunteers. In 2006 EVRJP began offering the Community Circles Program to assist those who are entering into our community from incarceration. The purpose of this program is to provide a circle of community members around the person coming out of prison (Core Member) to provide support and accountability for one year. Two volunteer Circle Keepers run the weekly circle meetings. Restorative Community Mediation and Facilitated Conversations began 2014, is designed to provide an opportunity for individuals and groups to work out differences and conflicts without utilizing the court system. Two trained mediators facilitate a process for citizens to identify harms that have take place and then develop an agreement based on agreed upon repairs to those harms. The services may also be utilized to proactively work through problem areas before conflict arises. In 2014 EVRJP and the Estes Park R-3 School District began a partnership to assist students to build skills around selfesteem, reliance and healthy relationships. Student Support and Accountability Circles assist students who are in danger of entering the criminal justice system or dropping out of school. Girls Circles are, curriculum-based and cover topics relevant to being a teenage girl. Boys Council works to develop leadership skills and strong positive relationships, while promoting safe and healthy passage through pre-teen and adolescent years. All school circles are facilitated by EVRJP volunteers. Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership is a hybrid organization between the Estes Park Police Department and a 501c3. All contributions are tax deductible.

An Explorer graduate himself, Police Chief Wes Kufeld commented, “We’re excited to offer local students hands-on experience in emergency services so we can ultimately recruit talented, dedicated young men and women into these critical public service careers.” Kufeld shared, “Participating in

Stensland Book Signing August 11 Xanterra Parks & Resorts is proud to announce author and photographer Erik Stensland, author of Wild Light: A Celebration of Rocky Mountain National Park, will be signing his book at the Trail Ridge Store in Rocky Mountain National Park on Friday, August 11, 2017 from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Erik Stensland was born in Minnesota and moved with his family to Montana where he developed his deep love for the mountains. After several years working in the Balkans for a nonprofit initiative, where Erik met his wife Joanna, they decided to return to the United States and settled in Colorado with their son Luke. Erik quickly became intimate with Rocky Mountain National Park and opened his own gallery in Estes Park in 2007. Erik has authored several books including Wild Light: A Celebration of Rocky Mountain National Park. This

book is the result of work spanning over a decade of exploring and photographing this unique wilderness. Two new books that Eric has published are Memories of Rocky Mountain National Park and Photographing Rocky Mountain National Park. Memories is a paperback version of Wild Lights but includes all new photographs that have never been published in book form before. Photographing Rocky Mountain National Park is a landscape photographers guide on how to photograph Rocky Mountain National Park. These two new additions are available at the Trail Ride Store and will be available for the photographers signing. Join Xanterra Parks & Resorts in welcoming Erik Stensland and begin your journey and your love of this glorious park that many of us call home and enjoy on a daily basis.

the Explorer program as a youth in Fort Collins made a lifelong impression on me. I had an amazing time and, in the process, I learned that law enforcement was the right career for me. Afterward I became a Community Services Officer in Estes Park, worked on my education and training, and ultimately became Chief of the Estes Park Police Department.” Also supporting the Explorer Post 911 program are Fire Chief and Eagle Scout David Wolf, Estes Park Medical Center EMS Ambulance Director Guy Beesley, High School counselor Hannah Heckerson and Boy Scout volunteer and Eagle Scout Bill Marshall.

Fatty Arbuckle Featured In Silent Films Try to imagine a 350 pound man skipping and dancing across the stage with the agility of a 120 pound dancer. That was Fatty Arbuckle. He was a massive person, but extremely agile and acrobatic. He weighed in at over 13 pounds at birth in 1887. His given name was Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle. He disliked the nickname “Fatty” that was placed on him. When people addressed him as Fatty, his usual response was, “I’ve got a name, you know.” In 1920 he signed a contract with Paramount Pictures for one million dollars, making him one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. He had a checkered career. A scandal in the 1920s resulted in his films being banned and a loss of popularity, even though he was acquitted of the murder and rape charges that were placed upon him. He returned to acting in the 1930s, but his weight and heavy drinking contributed to serious health problems and an early death in 1933 at the age of 46. Director Max Sennett said Arbuckle could “skip up the stairs as lightly as Fred Astaire” and “did a backward somersault as graceful as a girl tumbler. ” The films to be shown are “Mabel Adrift” where the farm boy marries the girl next door and the house they occupy winds up in the ocean, “Butcher Boy” where the girl of his dreams goes away to boarding school and Arbuckle, disguised as a girl, visits the school. The final film of the day is “The Bell Boy” which is

filled with the adventures of a rather large bellboy who concocts a scheme to win the girl of his dreams. Silent films will be shown in the Historic Park Theatre every Friday in August at 5 p.m. Before the films begin, Scott “Flying Fingers” Wilseck will entertain the audience with old time piano music, and then continue playing accompanying tunes to the action on the screen. The Arbuckle films start at 5 p.m. on Friday, August 4. It’s a chance to see movies the way your grandparents and great grandparents did shortly after the turn of the century.

Do You Have Room In Your Home & Your Heart?

Sweet Kemah is about three years old, she is house trained, good with cats and other dogs, however she is deaf. She is very afraid of fast movements so a home without small children would be best. Kemah runs five miles at the lake every morning and really enjoys that. She is also kennel trained and is an “easy to love� kind of girl. Diesel is a nine month old Chihuahua/ Italian greyhound mix. He weighs about 11 lbs. He will do best in a home as an only dog or with dogs that are larger than him. He is a very smart guy! Olivia is a two year old Himalayan mix. She is scared of children and dogs but loves to be pet and loved on. Her mama died and she needs a new forever home. Walter the handsome, gray tabby kitty is just two years old. He is very friendly, playful and a happy guy! Harleigh is a one year old loving sweet kitty. She does well with other cats and would probably adjust okay to a dog friend as well. Last but not least, there are ten budgies (parakeets) up for adoption, in a variety of pretty colors, both males and females. Stop down to the Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue to meet any of these great pets or call 586-9282 for more information. All pets are offered through the Pet As-

sociation of Estes Park, a non-profit organization that works to find homes for stray and abandoned pets, control dog and cat populations by funding sterilization programs, educate members of the community, especially young people, about the humane treatment of animals and the responsibilities of pet ownership; and promote community involvement in the use of pets as therapeutic agents (e.g., in nursing homes). The Estes Park Pet Association is your local humane society. You can make a tax-deductible donation to the Pet Association by sending your check to P.O. Box 4342, Estes Park, CO 80517.

Baldpate Inn Presents 2017 Summer Enchanted Evening On Wildflowers Join us at the Baldpate Inn to explore the fascinating world of Colorado’s wildflowers with a seasoned naturalist, as we welcome Marlene Borneman on Wednesday, August 2, 2017, at 7 pm, for our Summer Enchanted Evening. Marlene will expand your knowledge about flower families, how they are connected, their habitats and rare species. She will provide some tips on identifying species found in RMNP. As a bonus, she will speak about native pollinators and their relationship to our native plants in keeping both healthy and strong in our environment. Hear about the virtues of growing native plants in your garden and ideas on what native plants may best fit your garden. Marlene has been hiking and climbing in Colorado’s mountains since 1974. She has climbed Colorado’s 54 Fourteeners, 126 named peaks in RMNP and 44 state High Points. Along the way she developed a deep passion for wildflowers and now spends much of her time locating and photographing wildflowers in their native habitats. Her photography has won awards in the Colorado Native Plant Society. She is certified as a Native Plant Master. Marlene is the coauthor of Rocky Mountain Wildflowers pack guide and the author of The Best Front Range Wildflowers Hikes. The Summer Enchanted Evenings at the Baldpate Inn, on Highway 7, are held every Wednesday throughout the summer beginning at 7 pm. There is no charge, and refreshments are provided in the Key Room. The Baldpate

Inn would love for you to be able to join them for the talk. If you would like to enjoy a soup and salad buffet for dinner before the presentation, you can call and make reservations at 970-586-KEYS (5397) or call for any other questions about the presentation.

How Are Weather And Climate Change Related? By: Gordon MacAlpine, Estes Valley Clean Energy Coalition

and the associated rise in atmospheric CO2 for each cycle has been about 80 parts per million particles. The current “Weather” and “climate” are often confused. Local temperature or precipitation interglacial has been going on for about occurrences refer to weather, whereas cli- 12,000 years with relatively constant CO2 levels and temperature…until the most mate involves larger-scale, longer-term averages. However, the two are definitely recent hundred years or so. Due to our burning of fossil fuels, like coal, gas and related in the sense that climate change oil, the atmospheric CO2 concentration contributes to extreme weather events. In response to indications that humans has further increased by an additional are causing climate change, some people 140 parts per million, nearly double what normally leads from an ice age to an inpoint out that climate can fluctuate due to natural causes; and indeed it has in the terglacial…and global temperatures have begun to rise precariously above normal past. Measures of gases trapped in ice cores deposited over millennia on Green- interglacial levels. As average global temperature rises, land and Antarctica show that global even a little, it has been well documented temperatures rose and fell eight times that probabilities of very low temperature during the past 800,000 years. After long weather events decrease while the probacold spells, an initial warming “trigger” bilities of very high temperature events in each case involved orbital characterisincrease dramatically. For example, the tics of the Earth as it goes around the number of days per year with temperaSun, which produced relatively small tures below -20 F dropped by a factor of temperature increases. These “Miroughly 10 in Rocky Mountain National lankovitch cycles” led to the release of Park over a 50-year period, resulting in carbon dioxide (CO2, measured in the the worst pine beetle infestation on ice cores) from the warmed oceans and record. Also, increased probabilities of soil, which in turn caused significant very high temperatures is causing a greenhouse warming of the Earth. The results have been cold glacial periods (of- tripling of extreme heat waves. Whereas it has been said that extreme events canten called ice ages) when ice covered not be blamed with certainty on climate much of the planet and warmer interglacial periods (like we’re in now) when thick ice was mainly relegated to polar regions. Temperature changes between ice ages and interglacial periods have By: Judi Smith been typically about 4-5 degrees Celsius, Ooho! anyone? Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE #1) plastic is a polyester material often used as containers for bottled water at the grocery store. It is universally recyclable. This material, used in bottles, jars, microwave meal trays, containers for cleaning solutions, LCDs, film, insulation, textiles, padding, carpet, mouldings, and industrial belts is in demand, both as virgin material and as a downgradable recyclable. Every country in the world recycles PETE. Why, then, is only 29% of the PETE in the United States recycled? But that is exactly what happens. Too many Americans or at least, those living in the USA, find it too difficult or too expensive to recycle and the result is 35 billion plastic bottles per year which are filling our land. Once in the landfill, they take 450 years to decompose. Thus they will still be there for our great. great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great. great, great, great, great. great, great, great, grandchildren. Many organizations and private citizens are searching for solutions worldwide. The most unique development that I have found is called ooho!, a miniscule bubble filled with water (or other drinkable liquid). The ooho! membrane is a clear flexible container made from edible seaweed. They are designed for “on the spot consumption.” You can make a hole in the ooho and drain the contents (leaving a little, biodegradable pouch that decomposes in four to six weeks) or you can consume bubble and liquid in one mouthful. There are a few kinks to be ironed out.

change, the scientific evidence for linkage is now clear in many cases. Climate change has “loaded the dice” and made events like wildfires much more probable, occurring four times more often and increasing five times in duration since the mid-1980s. Other severe consequences include heavy precipitation events and floods due to increased moisture content in warmer air, severe drought in other areas, and rapidly rising oceans. What can we do to protect ourselves and future generations from advancing climate change? Unfortunately, Earth’s temperature will continue to rise because of CO2 we already put into the atmosphere. The first six months of 2017 have been the hottest yet for a year without an El Nino enhancement. Much of the Arctic is ice free, while Greenland and Antarctica are melting at rates of billions of tons of ice per year. We know the consequences will be serious, but we still have a chance to mitigate them for future generations if we act now and stop burning fossil fuels. This is sometimes considered to be a political issue, but it should not be, as we’re all in this together. We have all been part of the problem, and we all need to be part of the solution.

Recycling Update First, creating protective packaging that prevents eruption en route while protecting ooho sanitation for consumption without creating the packaging problem being eliminated and second, setting a price point and educating the public to buy water by the mouthful. Still the ooho is a novel solution for those who arrived without an alternative to dehydration at a concert or a marathon (where oohos were recently beta tested). The ooho is a product of Skipping Rocks Lab in London, England. There are of course a few more conventional ways to combat the ever increasing amount of polyethylene terephthalate water bottles in our garbage cans. 1. Perhaps a reinvention of the bottle deposit would provide an incentive. Pay when you buy the water bottle and collect upon return. 2. Several countries make recycling convenient with consistent, highly visible recycling cans everywhere! In the process, they have created a culture intolerant of landfilling recoverable material. Israel offers creative and quite large, recovery baskets that no one can miss. Germany has created a green dot required on all packaging. With graduated “green dot” fees, the guiding principle became “less.” 3. Of course, when it comes to hydration while out and about, nothing is more viable than your very own refillable water bottle and our local Estes water! The www.recycleestes.org website has more information. I can be reached at RRRcyc2se@gmail.com The next meeting of the League of Women Voters and Community Recycling Committee is Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 10 a.m. in the Wasson Room at the EV Library.

Fall Dog Training Course

Autumn is in the air and so is every scent on earth! Is your four-legged friend paying more attention to elk duds than you? Are you wondering when he got so big? Did he always jump on every stranger and why won’t he listen when you beg him to stop? When did she start chewing on the remote control? Did they always have this much energy? And when did they forget everything they were ever taught? Will they ever learn to come when you call instead of chasing deer? If you are looking for a positive program to enroll your puppy or adult dog in, Linda’s Pet Care Services is offering a basic, five-week obedience course beginning Monday, August 14, at 5:00 p.m., in our outdoor fenced in yard. The course includes all basic commands including sit, down, settle, off, stand, watch me, leave it and stay as well as recalling, loose leash walking and learning to how to be appropriate with other people and pets while on leash. There are also weekly handouts, articles from positive reinforcement trainers and weekly Q & A to discuss ongoing dog behaviors (wanted and unwanted). This class places a heavy emphasis on teaching owners how to relate to their pets in a more positive and loving way while shaping positive, wanted behavior. More importantly, it teaches us, the humans, reasonable expectations and gives logical answers to why some

methods work better than others with our dogs. We use the principles taught by trainer and animal behaviorist Pat Miller to tap into what gets a dog’s attention—food, treats, praise and positive reinforcement. We learn two cues (commands) for every command from “Sit” to “Come,” “Settle,” “Watch Me,” etc.—a hand signal and a verbal phrase. Additionally, we work specifically on building social skills with dogs and humans, both on leash and off with a playtime at the end of at least one class to let the dogs meet and greet each other while owners observe play and what signals dogs use to communicate with each other. The course will focus on positive reinforcement training with food rewards and playtime for an all around good time for the owner as well as the dog. Give your dog (and yourself) the ultimate gift—enroll yourselves in a class today and come enrich your training experience with like-minded owners. Availability is extremely limited; please call 586-0340 to register today with Linda Wagner at Linda's Pet Care Services.

Who knew an entire classical orchestral concert could be jazz inspired? And yet this is the programming that Music Director Jean-Marie Zeitouni presented with the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra on Monday evening at the Stanley Hotel Concert Hall. This was the second and final program of this outstanding orchestra from Boulder that was presented by the Estes Park Music Festival this summer. In our twelve years of attending these concerts this was the most unusual and exhilarating program out of many fine and innovative programs that have been presented by this orchestra. As Zeitouni mentioned in his opening remarks about this program, classical composers have always gone to the popular music of the people for inspiration and material for their compositions. Jazz and other popular idioms have imbued American classical music ever since American composers began to throw off European classical models as the way our American classical music should sound. Zeitouni presented four quintessential composers whose names and music are familiar to most Americans: Bernstein, Copland, Gershwin and Scott Joplin. In addition he presented music by two European composers who spent many years in the US and whose music was strongly influenced by American poplar and jazz idioms: Kurt Weill from Germany and Darius Milhaud from France. The soloist and star of the concert was clarinetist Boris Allakhverdyan who is principal clarinetist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the former 1st clarinetist of the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra. He performed the Copland Clarinet Concerto which was written for Benny Goodman in 1947. Allakhverdyan

was more than up for the many rhythmic and range difficulties of this work by making it all seem effortless. Who knew a clarinet could go that high? This concerto, though considered extremely difficult when written, is now a staple of the clarinetist’s repertory. Allakhverdyan also had the opportunity to show his jazz chops in the final movement of Bernstein’s Prelude, Fugue and Riffs which is a jazz band piece incorporating some classical music techniques such as the fugue for five saxophones. This piece was the concert closer and Zeitouni warned the audience that it was “intense” which meant powerful and loud. What a closing piece this was that brought the audience to its feet in appreciation for a night of such exciting and sophisticated music from America. The orchestra was clearly enjoying themselves as they played with great enthusiasm, intensity and technical control on these rarely performed pieces. Of special interest was Darius Milhaud’s “The Creation of the World,” a jazz inspired piece that combined, like the Bernstein piece, classical compositional techniques. While the Estes Park Summer Music Festival is now over, the winter series of Sunday afternoon series of 2 p.m. concerts at the Stanley Concert Hall will begin this fall. Watch for information on these concerts. Also, a thanks to the entire board of the Estes Park Music Festival for bringing this outstanding orchestra to Estes Park each summer. 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 Yoga Offers Community Yoga And Kirtan August 4 On Friday, August 4, 2017, Estes Park Yoga will be hosting a community yoga session followed by kirtan.

tice of kirtan, a form of devotional singing in which all are encouraged to participate by joining in singing and playing instruments along to simple melodies designed to calm the mind and open the heart.

Allenspark Hilltop Guild Presents 69th Summer Bazaar August 5 Looking for a one-of-a-kind handmade gift from Colorado? Do you like small town festivals that really capture the essence of community? Do you love homemade peanut brittle, English Toffee, pies and other baked goodies? Then you’ll want to head to the 69th Hilltop Guild Summer Bazaar at The Kelley House in Allenspark on Saturday, August 5 from 9 a. m. until 2 p. m. The location is 18720 Highway 7; fifteen miles from Lyons, and just 30 minutes south of Estes Park on Highway 7. The Hilltop Guild is a productive and creative association of members who live in the Allenspark, Riverside and Raymond communities. Members create handmade crafts throughout the year, which are sold during their Annual Bazaar the first Saturday in August. Shoppers will find knit, crochet, woven and quilted items, homemade jellies (made with local berries, gathered in competition with the bears each summer!), jewelry, artistic gourds, handmade stationary, photographs and crafts. There’s also a Flea Market filled with items donated by area residents over the past year, including books, electronics, collectibles, kitchenware, art and more. Coffee and donuts are on sale in the morning, with pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw and drinks served from 11:30 a.m. -2 p.m. You’ll want to be sure to buy raffle tick-

ets (3 for $5) for your chance to win great homemade items including a handcrafted braided rug, a handwoven shawl, a stained glass end table, turquoise and silver jewelry donated by Eagle Plume’s Indian Shop and a deer motif quilt. The Hilltop Guild was founded in the late 1940s, and its goal is to return the fruits of the members’ labors to areas of need in the greater Allenspark area and beyond. The group meets weekly throughout the year to learn new skills and create items to be sold. The Kelley House has a Loom Room with eight floor looms. “Our weavers create gorgeous items that will be for sale, including unique placemats, table runners, scarves and more,” said Bazaar Coordinator Marta Dowell. Proceeds go toward scholarships and a list of philanthropic causes. The group also maintains the site of the historic Allen cabin, the original homestead in Allenspark. The group also maintains the Bunce School, a Historic Designation from the State of Colorado and County of Boulder, and is listed on the National Historic Register. It is one of two rural log schoolhouses remaining in Boulder County and is located near the Kelley House, the location of the Summer Bazaar. “Everyone looks forward to our annual Bazaar in Allenspark, and is a great way to experience the spirit of our mountain

community,” says Dowell. “The wildflowers in our area are exceptional this year, and if you’re lucky, you might see one of our moose neighbors!”

PhotosbyMarsha.com she looked to local Parks and Recreation department for classes. Ann said, “By the early 1990s, quilting was my main focus. I took a job working at my local quilt store in Denver, Great American

Quilt Factory. It was one of the early stores in the quilting world and the constant exposure to so many talented quilters (co-workers, customers and suppliers) only further fueled my obsessive interest. I began to volunteer to help make store samples and book quilts and eventually found that most of my work week involved sewing as a designer. It was a dream job. In 2002, I decided to try and enter my local guild's quilt show, The Arapahoe County Quilter's Festival of Quilts. I made a pattern from a book by Trudie Hughes called Shadow of the Bear. I changed colors and designed my own appliqué border and machine quilted it. It won the Best of Show award and I could not have been any more surprised! In 2011, Great American Quilt Factory went out of business and I found myself retired and sewing full time on the things I love. I now quilt mostly for shows. By making quilts for show I can test my skills and try to keep improving. I have been fortunate enough to win a some big awards and have my quilts published.

Rocky Ridge Music Center’s “Music In The Mountains Concert Series Continues This Sunday The Rocky Ridge Music Center (RRMC) continues its summer music concert series at the beautiful Rocky Ridge Music Center Concert Hall this Sunday, August 6th at 3:00 p.m. This week, the exceptional faculty of RRMC’s Jazz Program will perform their own original jazz charts. Performers Grant Larson (saxophone), Greg Tanner Harris (piano/vibraphone), Matt Fuller (guitar), Braun Khan (bass), and Dave Hammond (drums) bring together their versatility in musical styles, diverse backgrounds, and wealth of professional experience to create an inspired and energetic performance. Larson is a champion of new music premiering works for saxophone at regional and national conventions. He is the soprano saxophonist for the Chautauqua Saxophone Quartet and has a vibrant freelance career. As an educator, Larson teaches at the Denver School of the Arts and conducts the Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestra Wind Ensemble. Harris has released five albums and is an integral member of “The Greg Harris Vibe Quintet,� Pete Wernick’s Flexigrass, Future Jazz Project, and more.

leased his debut album Waiting for Violet featuring celebrated trumpet player Ron

Miles. Fuller has performed with many notable artists and draws on his twenty years of teaching experience to help students find their own direction in music. With experience ranging from pop/rock and gospel to classical and jazz, Khan immerses himself in almost all types of bass performance. After teaching at Central Michigan University, Khan is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Arts in Jazz Studies at the University of Northern Colorado and is an active performer in the Northern Colorado music scene.

Jesus Seminar In The Rockies August 25 & 26

Church as many of us grew up with it in America is generally on the decline. This has been so for more than a generation. Somehow the “community� provided by “faith communities� isn’t connecting in a meaningful way for more and more people. Something new, perhaps something old, is needed. Jesus Seminar in the Rockies, Friday evening, August 25 and all-day Saturday, August 26, brings two nationally known contemporary scholars to Estes Park to explore Faith Communities in the 1st and 21st Centuries. Join Sarah Morice Brubaker, PhD and Hal Taussig, PhD as

they discuss what made 1st century Christian churches dynamic enough to grow into the world’s largest religion, and what creative communities of faith are doing today to connect with that same level of attraction and relevance. Jesus Seminar in the Rockies, a program of Westar Institute, is sponsored by Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies and its Journeys Class. Registration for all three sessions is $60 through August 11 and $75 thereafter. Students may register for $50. Single session registration is also available. You may register online at www.westarinstitute.org. All sessions are at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue, Estes Park. For more information, email loissumey@gmail.com.
