Available For Public Review: Fall River Entrance Improvements Environmental Assessment The National Park Service (NPS) has released for public review and comment an Environmental Assessment (EA) for Fall River Entrance Improvements in Rocky Mountain National Park. The Fall River Entrance is one of two major entrance stations on the east side of the park and is located on U. S. Highway 34, just inside the park boundary. The entrance station was constructed in the 1960s as part of the NPS Mission 66 Program enhancements and is within the Fall River Entrance Historic District. The main access road, Fall River Road (U. S. Highway 34), contributes to the historic district and is individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Originally designed for summer operations nearly 60 years ago, the facilities at the Fall River Entrance Station no longer meet the safety or operational needs of the park. When the entrance station was designed, the park had approximately one and a half million annual visitors. By 2017, annual visitation had almost tripled, to nearly four and a half million annual visitors. Improvements are needed to improve visitor access and convenience, reduce traffic congestion, and provide a safe and efficient space for park employees. The range of alternatives evaluated in the Environmental Assessment includes a no-action alternative and three action alternatives. Rocky Mountain National Park is proposing to retain the Fall River Entrance at its current location and replace the existing buildings with new construction. Entrance improvements would update systems and facilities and include the installation of a fourth lane as a “fast pass lane” to ease congestion. In addition, improvements would be made to employee and visitor parking, ventilation systems in the kiosks, and the configuration of the entrance and exit lanes. Buildings and access ways would be designed to

EVFPD firefighters generally respond to medical calls in their personal vehicles, allowing for a faster response.

The park will host a public meeting on Wednesday, June 27, 2018, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Estes Valley Library in the Hondius Room, 335 E. Elkhorn Avenue, Estes Park, Colorado. There will be a short presentation at 6:15 p.m., and park staff will be available to answer questions until 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to visit at any point during the scheduled time to review materials and provide written comments. The EA will be on public review through the close of business of Friday, July 20. If you wish to comment on this environmental assessment, you may post comments online at: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/romo, the website for the NPS’s Planning Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) system.

and trash can be disposed of yeararound at Waste Management for a fee. No bags of non-weed materials will be accepted at this event. Paper yard bags are available for purchase at local hardware stores. These events are being made possible with the support from Estes Land Stewardship Association, the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Estes Valley Land Trust, and donations.

Town Of Estes Park Seeks Feedback Through Citizen Survey This summer, the Town of Estes Park will be seeking community input using the National Citizen SurveyTM. Over the next few weeks, questionnaires will be sent to a random sample of 1,600 Estes Park households, asking for feedback on the quality and usefulness of town services. The results will be included in a final report that will be available to the public and used by Town officials for community planning and resource allocation, program improvement, policy-making and tracking changes in residents’ opinions about government performance. The Town conducted the same survey in 2011, 2014 and 2016. Past results are available at www.estes.org/citizensurvey. The National Citizen SurveyTM is sponsored by the International City/County Management Association in cooperation with National Research Center, Inc. The questionnaire and sur-

vey procedure were designed based on the experience of hundreds of local governments, ranging in size from small to large. Scientific sampling and weighting of the responses in each city ensure accurate and reliable results. Because each municipality's survey is developed using a standard template, and many cities can be surveyed at one time, The National Citizen SurveyTM is an efficient way to measure citizen opinion. Now in its eighteenth year of existence, more than 400 municipalities in 43 states have enrolled for The National Citizen SurveyTM. For more information on the Town of Estes Park’s 2018 citizen survey, please contact Public Information Officer Kate Rusch at 970-577-3701 or krusch@estes.org.

Bike Estes Day Next Wednesday, June 27 Combining “Bike to Work Day” and the “Costume Bike Parade” into One Day of Biking Fun June 27. Come join the fun with a full day of biking activities. For the first time in Estes Park, the annual “Bike to Work Day” has been combined with the “Costume Bike Parade” to form a day celebrating bicycles and community fun. Bike to Work Day is a national event that Colorado celebrates annually on June 27. The Costume Bike Parade has been an Estes Park annual event usually held later in the summer. This year, the Estes Park Cycling Coalition, which hosts/cohosts both events, decided to combine the two for a more high profile community event, Bike Estes Day. Bike To Work Day Start your day on June 27 by joining the community for Bike to Work Day at the town’s Visitor Center from 6- 9 a.m. Coffee, breakfast burritos and cinnamon rolls are just a few of the treats that will be provided. There will also be activities for the kids, a bike maintenance stand, information booths and a raffle. So please stop by to show your support of biking and enjoy the festivities. All are welcome regardless of your mode of

transportation! Costume Bike Parade The Costume Bike Parade is a unique, fun filled opportunity for the whole family to dress up, decorate your bike and join your neighbors and community for a leisurely bike ride through downtown from the Visitors Center to Performance Park. Police will escort the riders, and at the end of the parade, there will be additional festivities. The fun starts at 5:30 p.m. at the Visitors Center, where there will be decorations on hand to help decorate your bike. At 6 p.m., the bike parade starts, with a police escort stopping traffic at all of the intersections. The parade ends at Performance Park. Don’t forget to wear a costume! This year, Families for Estes has joined forces with the Cycling Coalition to provide entertainment at the end of the parade. Free live music, beer and drinks for purchase, and food trucks will be on hand at Performance Park. For further information, contact Estes Park Cycling Coalition President Mike Lewelling at board@bikeestes.org www.bikeestes.org/events/ bike-estes-day/

Birds Of A Feather, Flock Together! It is well-documented fact that many of the bird species we enjoy in Estes Park and in Rocky Mountain National Park during the summer travel here each spring from Costa Rica in Central America. From June 30 until July 10, six students and three chaperones from Estes Park’s Sister City of Monteverde, Costa Rica, will also fly here to experience the joys of our beautiful community and National Park. And, these travelers might even spot one of the birds they studied during the past months in Costa Rica! Estes Park’s Sister City organization in lock step with the Estes Park Environmental Center, officials from Rocky Mountain National Park, students and teachers from our High School, and community volunteers will welcome the

students with many exciting activities throughout their stay. The focus of the exchange is Science and most of the activities will be oriented towards mammal, plant, and bird surveys as well as water monitoring and the setting of motion-activated cameras to record many species in their natural habitats. But it will not be all study! The group will attend our Rooftop Rodeo and the July 4th fireworks, there will be a trip to Grand Lake, several dinners hosted by families in Estes Park, and participation in the Junior Ranger program in the Park. In each of these activities there will be memories made that will last a life time. The joy is that these memories will be for the Costa Ricans and for all in Estes Park who will have the pleasure of welcoming these students.

The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. On June 8 at 2:58 a.m. police were called to a disturbance in a parking lot in the 900 block of Big Thompson Ave. Upon arrival police cited a 19 year old male from Estes Park for underage possession and consumption of alcohol. He was later released. On June 15 at 2:13 a.m. police stopped the driver of a vehicle for careless driving in the 200 block of W. Elkhorn Ave. The 22 year old male driver from Estes Park was arrested and charged with careless driving and DUI and on further

investigation was also charged with prohibitive use of a weapon, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a financial transaction device and second degree burglary. The male was transported to Larimer County Detention Center. On June 16 at 11:26 p.m. police were notified of a disturbance in the 100 block of E. Elkhorn Ave. Upon arrival they charged a 38 year old female from Estes Park with second degree assault. She was transported to Larimer County Detention Center. A 46 year old male in this case from Pueblo, CO was cited with harassment and released.

Sometimes we all need a break from things. It could be the weather, traffic, time behind a desk, time in front of a screen (of any size), a spouse or offspring or both, even elk jamming up traffic, crows getting into the garbage, and critters digging holes in our yard. Sometimes enough is enough already. We’re one day beyond the longest day of the year, which may mark the first time this summer that we need a break from things. So here’s a list of funnies to entertain the lexophiles around here. (Lexophiles are those who have a love of words. Count me amongem.) I’m not clever enough to make up these twisty one-liners so I take no credit, but I enjoy the levity of them just the same. (Who comes up with these things anyway? Do a bunch of suits sit around a conference table with coffee cups and note pads when the gal at the head of the table says, “We can’t go to lunch until we come up with 20 word-play sentences to post on the Internet”? Or is it a group of 20-somethings with purple hair, tattoos, piercings and the munchies sitting on milk crates in someone’s garage laughing hysterically as they record their creative sentences on their phones? I’d like to know. Which ever it is, here are the end results) : •You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish. [I know the young set didn’t come up with this one. It’s too old. ] •To write with a broken pencil is pointless. •When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate. •A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months. •When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U. C.L. A. •The batteries were given out free of charge.

•A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail. [This reminds me of one we tell hikers when on the trail: Alice Algae and Freddie Fungus took a lichen to each other. They got married but he took her for granite and now their relationship is on the rocks. ] •A will is a dead giveaway. •With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress. •A boiled egg is hard to beat. •When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall. •Police were summoned to a daycare center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest. •A bicycle can't stand alone; it's just two tired. •When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds. •He had a photographic memory, which was never developed. •When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye. •Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it. •Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end. •And this from my sister, spoken at the dinner table every time we had a certain fruit while we were growing up: “Cantaloupe now, Dad’s got the car. ” Laugh when you can. It’s cheap medicine and is more effective than anything you can buy. You may let The Thunker know what you think at her e-mail address, donoholdt@gmail.com. © 2018 Sarah Donohoe

Good Sam’s Annual BIG Garage Sale

MEETING NOTICE

If you are concerned about Conex Storage Units being allowed to become permanent fixtures in our Estes Valley residential neighborhoods, then please attend the meeting for public comment on

July 3rd, at 9:00 am

in the Town Board Room at 170 MacGregor Ave. Paid Advertisement

It’s that time again. The phone at the Good Samaritan Society – Estes Park Village is ringing and folks want to know when this year’s garage sale will be and when they can bring in their donations for the sale. This year’s sale will be on Saturday, June 30th from 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Donated items may be brought to Good Sam’s garage on Wednesday, June 27th from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Electronics, sofa beds and clothing will not be accepted. Each year the residents at the Good Samaritan Society – Estes Park Village work all week long to prepare for this annual sale. In the past they have chosen a charity to donate the funds to and have been able to raise a total of $17,000 for our local charities since 2012. This year the residents have chosen to donate the proceeds to the Estes Park Quota Club. Our local chapter of Quota Club International does so much for our community. The local group was chartered in 1949 when our community was in need of an ambulance. They raised the funds to purchase that ambulance and continue to raise money for the purchase of the ambulances at Estes Park Medical Center. Aside from that, Quota also manages the local loan closet for medical supplies such as walkers, wheelchairs, toilet risers, crutches, portable potties, electric hospital beds, shower and bath chairs and more. Quota Club has been

providing this service for our community for 25 years. It is truly a blessing to the residents of Good Sam as well as our entire community. Every year for the past 11 years, Quota Club has been bringing the Parade of Trees portion of their Holiday Home Tour to Good Sam. The first year they brought the trees to Good Sam the residents and staff collectively won eleven trees. The joy that winning those trees brought to the residents was amazing. Every year they return the week before the tour and bring the trees to the lobby of the main building and the residents are able to enjoy the Christmas spirit they bring to the building. Though the residents have never won as many trees as the first time, they still love to have the trees at the Village. At last year’s Tour the Quota Club surprised the residents by having Santa and Mrs. Claus join us. A few weeks later they returned to the Assisted Living at dinner time and brought gifts and smiles to all who were there. The residents of The Good Samaritan Society – Estes Park Village would like to give back to this wonderful organization. Please support this event by bringing your donated items on Wednesday, June 27 to Good Sam’s garage at 1901 Ptarmigan Trail. Then come to the sale on Saturday, June 30th and support this great cause.

Amateur Radio “Field Day” June 23 & 24 Demonstrates Science, Skill & Service Members of the Estes Valley Amateur Radio Club will be participating in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise, June 23-24 at the new Estes Valley Community Center, located at 660 Community Drive. Since 1933, ham radio operators across North America have established temporary ham radio stations in public locations during Field Day to showcase the science and skill of Amateur Radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. For more than 100 years, Amateur Radio — sometimes called ham radio — has allowed people from all walks of life to experiment with electronics and communications techniques, as well as provide a free public service to their communities during a disaster or emergency, all without needing a cell phone or the Internet. Field Day demonstrates ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network. More than 35,000 people from thousands of locations participated in Field Day in 2017. “It’s easy for anyone to pick up a computer or smartphone, connect to the Internet and communicate, with no knowledge of how the devices function or connect to each other,” said David Isgur, communications manager for the American Radio Relay League, the national association for Amateur Radio. “But if there’s an interruption of service

or you’re out of range of a cell tower, you have no way to communicate. Ham radio functions completely independent of the Internet or cell phone infrastructure, can interface with tablets or smartphones, and can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. That’s the beauty of Amateur Radio during a communications outage.” “Hams can literally throw a wire in a tree for an antenna, connect it to a battery-powered transmitter and communicate halfway around the world,” Isgur added. “Hams do this by using a layer of Earth’s atmosphere as a sort of mirror for radio waves. In today’s electronic doit-yourself (DIY) environment, ham radio remains one of the best ways for people to learn about electronics, physics, meteorology, and numerous other scientific disciplines, and is a huge asset to any community during disasters or emergencies if the standard communication infrastructure goes down.” Anyone may become a licensed Amateur Radio operator. There are more than 725,000 licensed hams in theUnited States, as young as nine and as old as 100. And with clubs such as The Estes Valley Amateur Radio Club, it’s easy for anybody to get involved right here in Estes Park.

GOCO Awards $37,300 Grant To Help Conserve Property Bordering RMNP Today the Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) Board awarded the Estes Valley Land Trust a $37,300 grant to cover transaction costs associated with the conservation of 28 acres of property buffering Rocky Mountain National Park. This grant is part of GOCO’s conservation easement transaction costs grant program, which provides funds to help landowners place donated conservation easements on their land. A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement by landowners to permanently conserves their property, removing the threat of future development while it remains in private ownership. GOCO created this grant program to make sure land with significant ecological, scenic, or recreational benefit is not vulnerable to development because of landowners’ financial limitations. While many conservation projects are completed in Colorado without GOCO’s assistance, closing costs associated with placing a conservation easement can be a barrier for landowners wishing to conserve their properties. With the help of GOCO funding, pending approval by the Estes Valley Land Trust Board of Directors and the Harmony Foundation Board of Directors, the land trust will acquire a conservation easement on the 28-acre property. The

property borders Rocky Mountain National Park near the Fall River Visitor Center and Entrance, where more than one million visitors entered the park last year. Protecting this land allows the surrounding views to remain unobstructed. Conserving this land is a high priority due to its proximity the national park and the important wildlife habitat found on the property, including habitat for black bear, mountain lion, moose, and bighorn sheep. To date, GOCO has invested over $54 million in Larimer County and conserved over 60,000 acres of land there. Past projects include Hermit Park Open Space, the Lake Estes Trail, and Fish Creek Trail, among others. Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help preserve and enhance the state’s parks, trails, wildlife, rivers, and open spaces. GOCO’s independent board awards competitive grants to local governments and land trusts, and makes investments through Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Created when voters approved a Constitutional Amendment in 1992, GOCO has since funded more than 5,000 projects in urban and rural areas in all 64 counties without any tax dollar support.

Estes Park Archives Program This Saturday, June 23 Downtown Elkhorn Avenue in 1908 could have easily been referred to as "The Street of Trees." Trees were especially prominent on West Elkhorn, where buildings were soon to appear. As evident from the accompanying photograph, 1908 Estes Park still lacked a dedicated church building, a sidewalk, paved roads, electricity (the pole is a telephone pole), or much in the way of fireproof structures. The Medicine Bow National Forest headquarters was relocating out of Estes Park back to Fort Collins, their office unexpectedly made available for J. E. Macdonald and family (and what would eventually become a certain bookstore). Sawmills were in operation in numerous outlying locations, including two near Glen Haven. The Stanley (just out of view in this photograph) was taking shape, although still being referred to as

the Dunraven. The Hupp Hotel had been open for a year, the Manford had just opened. An animal preserve or park was very much the topic of discussion, but as an entity under control of the Forest Service. Deer were plentiful and tame, and elk were reported, if the report can be believed, near Crosier Mountain. All of these topics and more are the subject of this Saturday's Estes Park Archives program "Estes Park 110 Years Ago," which begins at 1:10 p.m. at Molly B's Restaurant on 200 Moraine Avenue. Admission is free, and coffee, tea, and soft drinks are provided. Ample parking should be available across the street, or you can ride the free shuttle. All residents, summer residents, and visitors are invited, and no reservation is required. Please call 586-4889 for more information.

Mission: New Earth Wants You! MISSION: New Earth (MNE), a local non-profit focusing on children, youth and wildlife, will hold its next board meeting at the Estes Valley Library. Taking place Saturday, June 30, 2018, the meeting will be held in the Hondius Room from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The public is invited. "During this meeting," explains board member and chair, Weldon Lee, "we'll be announcing plans for our First Annual Wildlife Gala. I personally invite everyone in the Estes Valley to join us. The

gala will be a big event." Many people in the Estes Valley may remember Weldon's weekly newspaper column, Along the Trail, that ran in the Trail Gazette almost seven years. He will kick off this meeting with a short PowerPoint presentation featuring a selection of his images of our wild brothers and sisters. Whatever you do, don't miss this meeting.

It is a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon and I am so happy that I did not wash the outside of my windows. I am also thankful that we have finally gotten some moisture. I did wash all the insides of my windows and am so proud of my accomplishment even though it took me a day and a half. You see I have over 50 panes of glass, that includes some large picture windows and two double doors of glass. What started this was a darn commercial that shows how with just a hose and this bottle of chemicals, you can do all your outside windows in a breeze. Well I can do that, right! Just one problem, you must hand clean the screens and inside windows. Well, now I am all prepared to use that miracle cleaner on the outside, if the rain ever stops. This weekend is so different from the last one. It is so cool and pleasant so one must not complain about the rain, we need every drop. But last weekend I was able to have my family for Sunday supper and we enjoyed eating on the deck. My deck in the summer is always in shade by 4-5 p.m. and quite pleasant. I have a rather lovely garden and pond with a waterfall that one can see and enjoy as well as a view of the lake and mountains. I love being able to share this with company. I decided not to do any kind of barbque but rather a pork roast, salad, “smashed” potatoes and applesauce along with French bread and a custard pie, that way there was something everyone could eat and enjoy. The salad was a tremendous success and a bit different from the ordinary. I got the original from the Epicurious web site. One of the wonderful things about it is you can make it ahead of time and it stays so crisp by adding the mint at the last minute. I used a bit of tweaking, so I could call it my own. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family. Sweet Snap Pea Salad 6-8 servings 1 -20 oz. bag pre-washed sweet snap peas 8 large varied colored radishes (or just the red ones) thinly sliced 3-4 green onions, whites and tender part of the greens. Thinly sliced on the esther.cenac@gmail.com

bias 2 stalks of celery, sliced thinly on the bias. 3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice 4 Tbs. olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 3/4 tsp. Zatarains mustard or some other rough ground mustard. 1⁄2 cup mint leaves String any of the peas that need it. The more mature and larger peas seem to have strings. Slice peas in half on the bias. Place all the vegetables in a large bowl, other than the mint. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice. olive oil, salt, pepper and mustard to form a dressing. Toss all with the dressing and garnish with mint leaves at time of serving. By the way, smashed potatoes are notmashed or creamed potatoes. You boil small red or golden potatoes until tender. Drain and allow to cool, then smash with a fork or potato masher to form a round, pancakelike form. Carefully with a spatula place each potato on a greased baking sheet, dribble with melted butter and olive oil, salt and pepper and place in a pre- heated oven of 400 degrees. Cook until brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. They are delicious. My email: esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon Appétit

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 June 27, 2018 at 7:00 p.m for our Summer Enchanted Evening. The program, Wildflowers in Your Backyard, will explore your knowledge about flower families, how they are connected, their habitats and rare species. Tips on identifying species found in RMNP will also be discussed.

KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING This principle, shared by Steven Covey, has so many implications for us and our times. It’s so easy to ‘major in minors’, isn’t it? Jesus condemned religious leaders for stressing petty ‘tithing’ practices and overlooking ‘main things’: justice, mercy, and faith. Politically, we see our leaders focusing on minor differences and issues to the neglect of decisions and laws that impact the safety and welfare of millions. However, closer to home we need to think about the value of persons, instead of so many lesser concerns. I came across two true stories that illustrate the ‘main things’ that should capture our attention and show us ways that we can ‘keep the main thing the main thing’. Several years ago a young and successful executive named Josh was traveling through a neighborhood in Chicago. He was going a bit too fast in his brand-new sleek, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE. He was watching carefully for kids who might dart out from between parked cars and slowed when he thought he had seen something. As his car passed that spot, no child darted out, but a brick flew out and, ‘whump’, it smashed into the Jag’s shiny side door. He slammed on his brakes, shifted into reverse and, tires squealing, the Jag spun around and returned to the spot where the brick was thrown. Josh saw the young culprit. He jumped out of his car, and, grabbing the kid, he shoved him up against the car. He shouted, “Who are you and what in the world are you doing?” Getting angrier he said, “That’s my new Jag and the brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?” “Please, mister, please…I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do. I threw the brick because no one else would stop.” Tears poured down the boy’s cheeks as he pointed around the parked car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said, “He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t get him up. He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me to lift and drag to safety. Please, would you help me get him back into his wheelchair?” Suddenly the young executive’s attitude changed. Struggling to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat, he flew into action. Straining, he lifted the young man back into his wheelchair. Then, wiping his scrapes and cuts with his handkerchief, he checked to see if everything else was okay. He walked the boys home to make sure they made it safely. It was a long walk back to the sleek, black, shiny 12-cyliner Jaguar XKE – a long slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door. He kept the dent to remind himself not to go through life so fast that someone had to throw a brick to remind him of the really important things in life…people. Another true story tells about a mother whose dream was that her son would become a great piano player, so she took him to a concert where the world’s greatest pianist was performing, hoping he would be inspired by hearing the best. As they waited for the concert to begin, the mother visited with another patron. Suddenly, she realized that her small son was not in his seat and the lights were dimming. She glanced at the stage and there, to her horror, saw her little boy, climbing up onto the piano stool. He began to play ‘his’ song: ‘Twinkle, twinkle little star’. Just then, the famed pianist walked up behind the boy and, joining him on the bench, reached his arm around him and began to fill in notes the boy missed and, together, they played ‘Twinkle, twinkle little star’. As they finished, the concert hall erupted with the applause of thousands of standing, deeplymoved people, all honoring the ‘main thing’ at this point in the evening. (Bob)

With a PhD in nuclear physics and extensive research in various geopolitical areas, he will discuss the short and long term benefits of creating the technology to compete in an all important race, and the geopolitical necessity of having the ability and will to forge ahead into the next great frontier. Dr. Ward has taught undergraduate physics and engineering at CSU, and currently is teaching geopolitics, history, and other topics in the CSU Osher Program. A U. S. Navy veteran, Dr. Ward volunteered and served in submarines. 7/30: “Child Soldiers,” by Professor Dyan Mazurana, PhD, Tufts University, who will discuss these children - who they are, why they are recruited, why they fight, and how they recover.

ing to try and stop recruitment of children, and help those who escape. 8/6: "How Putin is Making Russia Great Again," will be presented by a retired U. S. Navy Captain, diesel submariner and intelligence officer who, since 1967 has focused on the USSR, and now Russia. He served as an attache living in Moscow and collecting intelligence during the Cold War. Estes Park resident "Dick" Life is a graduate of the Naval Academy, who earned an MA in Russian Area Studies from Georgetown, U, and graduated from the U. S. Army War College. A CSU Osher lecturer, he will discuss how Vladimir Putin became the Russian strongman, an adversary of the United States, and is returning Russia to prominence on the world stage. Highlights include new Russian weapons systems, propaganda, and Moscow's reaction to U. S. foreign policy in Ukraine, China, N. Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and vs ISIS in Syria and Iraq. 8/13: "Nuclear Security" by retired nuclear submariner, U.S. Navy Commander, David Prawdzik. This Estes Park resident will address some of the topics and issues of current interest in the nuclear operations and safety areas, in which he has considerable personal experience.

His wife is an inspector. David will discuss topics such as North Korea, Iran, nuclear weapons storage, and research reactor safety.

Weather Forecast Satellites At Observatory Program By: Tim Gasparrini The Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) in conjunction with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public open house/star night on Saturday, June 23rd, 2018. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley. Our speaker this month is Tim Gasparrini. Mr. Gasparrini is the GOES-R program manager and vice president at Lockheed Martin Aerospace who is the builder of the GEOS spacecraft. Tim will tell us about the GOES program, its mission and history and the new GOES-17 spacecraft which was just launched in March of this year. GOES-17 (formerly GOES-S) is the second of the current generation of weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The four satellites of the series (GOES-16, -17, -T, and -U) will extend the availability of the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system) until 2036 for weather forecast and meteorology research. NOAA's most recent GOES series of satellites is designed to improve the forecasts of weather, ocean, and environment by providing faster and more detailed data, real-time images of lightning, and advanced monitoring of solar activities and space weather. GOES-17 can collect three times more data at four times image resolution, and scan the planet five times faster than previous probes. Mr. Gasparrini joined Martin Marietta in 1984 and has held various mechanical engineering assignments on the Mars Global Surveyor, STARDUST, Mars Odyssey, and Mars 2001 Lander Programs. In 2008, Tim was selected as the Mechanical Manager on the GRAIL Program. IN 2009 Tim became program manager for the JUNO spacecraft mission to Jupiter and then in 2011 Director of Space Exploration Systems. After that in 2014 Tim was appointed GOES program manager. With the formation of the Commercial Civil Space Line of Business in 2017, Tim was selected as the Deputy for the organization. Tim holds a Bachelor of Science in

Broadcaster Lauds Rooftop Estes Park rodeo performances to be featured on satellite radio, Internet Steve Kenyon’s voice is recognizable to those who have heard or seen him. He’s a personality in rodeo, the radio voice that listeners turn to when they want to know what’s going on in the sport. He’s been to dozens of rodeos across this big country, so he knows the game better than most. He returns to Rooftop Rodeo for this year’s festivities, set for 7 p.m. Thursday, July 5-Tuesday, July 10, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park inside the Estes Park Fairgrounds. He will call the action for the final five nights of award-winning rodeo, and his broadcasts can be found on his website, www.ProRodeoLive.com, and on Rural Radio, Sirius Satellite channel 147. “I’ve learned as time goes on that you want to present events that are popular with the contestants and the fans,” said Kenyon, one of just eight individuals to have been honored with media awards from the largest rodeo organizations in the world, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Pro Rodeo Association. “How can you argue with the opportunity to go to a place like Estes Park, Colo. The people are great. The committee works very hard at their event, and they take their event very seriously. Besides that, the place is drop-dead gorgeous. When you combine all those things, it’s the kind of place you want to be in and the place you want to watch a good rodeo.” Kenyon will actually be part of two national broadcasts coming out of the picturesque mountain town. He will be joined by the Wrangler Network, www.WranglerNetwork.com, which will showcase the action during Saturday night’s July 7 performance. “We are very honored to have such prestigious national broadcasts that team with us at Rooftop Rodeo, ” said Ben Vigil, president of /Estes Park Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. “They help us showcase our rodeo, which is a very big part of the town’s history.” Kenyon is also a ProRodeo announcer who calls the action inside the arena at sev-

eral rodeos around the country, but his trademark is in the radio-style play-byplay of the rodeo action. It’s something he began doing in 2006, calling the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo for a broadcasting company. When that folded after the 2007 NFR, he established the webcast on ProRodeo Live. “I saw a market there and an opportunity,” he said. “I talked to the PRCA, when Karl Stressman had just started as commissioner. He was a big supporter. I told him I’d like to continue to put the NFR on the Internet. At the time, it was just the National Finals. “I decided to do more rodeos, so I started with San Antonio, the (RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo) and Cheyenne, and it just started to grow. I started finding more and more people were listening to me.” Five years ago, he began partnering with Rural Media Group, which owns also RFD-TV, and his broadcasts hit the national airwaves on satellite radio. “The first rodeo we did was Salinas (Calif.), and that moved into more of what I do now, including Western Sports Roundup on 147 and on RFD-TV,” said Kenyon, who indicated that several thousand people will listen in to the Rooftop Rodeo broadcasts. “This whole ProRodeo Live deal has opened up a bunch of doors that I never thought would have been opened. To be able to make a living and promoting the industry is amazing. To have it morphed into satellite radio and television, you’re talking about things that I could never have expected. ” As he travels this country, Kenyon is offered the opportunity to see some amazing scenery and witness some incredible rodeo. He’ll have both when he arrives in Estes Park. “What’s most incredible to me is how hard the people of that committee work,” he said. “It’s an award-winning rodeo for a reason, and that’s because of those volunteers. You see how dedicated they are to making it a first-class project.”

Pet Association 2018 Annual Yard Sale This Saturday To Benefit The Pets! It’s finally time for the annual Pet Association Yard Sale! This year’s sale will be held this Saturday, June 23 at the Animal Medical Center of Estes Park from 7:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. All proceeds from the yard sale will

be used to support the Pet Association of Estes Park, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, in providing healthcare and housing for homeless pets. Don’t miss this fantastic sale, full of unique, one of a kind items you’ll need to take home with you!

Hyland Reigns As Miss Colorado Former Miss Rooftop Rodeo serving as state’s ProRodeo ambassador The road from Windsor, Colo., to Estes Park is 44 miles long and features many winding turns and tight corners. Alex Hyland knows every bit of it. Six years ago, she was Miss Rooftop Rodeo, the rodeo queen enlisted to serve as ambassador to the event and to the town. “I like to joke that I learned how to drive with a horse trailer when I was 15, because I would drive up Highway 34 to go to Rooftop Rodeo,” said Hyland, the reigning Miss Rodeo Colorado. “Now I’m a college graduate, so a lot has changed. ” She will return for all six performances of this year’s event, set for 7 p.m. Thursday, July 5-Tuesday, July 10, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park inside the Estes Park Fairgrounds. “During that time in between, I tried out for Miss Rodeo Colorado three times, ” she said. “Each time I tried out, I had my Rooftop Rodeo family in the audience. Not only were they helping me behind the scenes, but they were also there cheering me on.” They will continue to be her support system as she makes her rounds across the state and the country. In December, Hyland will be one of the state royalty contestants vying for Miss Rodeo America during the pageant in Las Vegas.

“We are extremely proud of Alex and are excited to see her take this next step,” said Mark Purdy, chairman of Estes Park Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. “We would love nothing more than to see her become the next Miss Rodeo America.” In the history of the MRA pageant, which dates back to 1956, only five ladies from Colorado have earned the title. The last was Tara (Graham) Rowe in 2001. “This is not only a dream come true, but it is the best job ever, ” Hyland said of the Miss Rodeo Colorado title. “This is something I’ve wanted since I was eight years old. “I love traveling to different rodeos and meeting the people who love the sport as much as I do. I love meeting the people who are on the rodeo committees. This is their vacation hours they are putting into this rodeo. It is an incredible, humbling feeling. ” As the state’s ambassador, she will make her way to as many Colorado ProRodeos as her schedule allows. But she will always hold Rooftop Rodeo close to her heart. “What makes that rodeo so great are the people who are there behind the scenes, the entire committee and the town of Estes Park, ” she said. “Plus, there’s not a prettier place to watch a rodeo. “The atmosphere at Rooftop Rodeo is just incredible. The energy you feel at the beginning of that rodeo is just unreal.” That’s just another reason she’s excited to return.

WPRA Honors Rooftop Rodeo Estes Park’s celebrated event wins its sixth Rodeo of the Year honor When officials decided to make a change in the footing at the Granny May Arena inside the Estes Park Fairgrounds, they were just trying to make things better. It did, and the barrel racers in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association said so in 2017. Rooftop Rodeo was named the WPRA’s Medium Committee of the Year, thanks in large part to the money, time and heavy lifting by all involved to create the better footing for the arena. It will continue to serve the competitors at this year’s rodeo, set for 7 p.m. Thursday, July 5-Tuesday, July 10. “When a committee goes above and beyond for those cowboys, they deserve the awards,” said Taci Bettis, the reigning Rooftop Rodeo champion barrel racer from Round Top, Texas. “When you put in that much effort, that’s what you get.” Bettis hit the ProRodeo trail hard for the first time a season ago. It was her first visit to Estes Park, and she made the most of it. Not only did she win the championship, but her 17.36-second run set a new standard for the annual rodeo. “That was part of those weeks in July when I set everything off,” said Bettis, the 2017 WPRA Rookie of the Year and a top five barrel racer this season. “I’d never been

at that arena before, so to go in and break the record was special.” Bettis was one of six Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifiers to place in barrel racing at last year’s Rooftop Rodeo. That’s a telling tale about why the WPRA ladies selected Estes Park’s rodeo as one of the best in the game. It was the sixth time in the event’s 92 years that it has been named Rodeo of the Year; it was a five-time winner in the Professional Rodeo Association. “We put in a lot of work into the arena between the 2016 and 2017 rodeos,” said Rob Hinkle, the community services director for the town of Estes Park. “The footing was just not good for the barrel racers, so we put $125,000 into new footing. “It’s already paid off, which was great to show off that improvement in one year. It meant a lot to the rodeo and to the town.” Besides the award, there have been other benefits. Hinkle said the arena has gained a few new horse shows because of the better footing. “Everybody’s taken great pride in it,” he said. “It was a lot of work. The members of the rodeo committee had to take out all the chutes and all the fencing, then put it all back in. “By getting awards like that, it provides a lot of energy in that committee to keep going forward.”

“low” or “a low place.” Flat lush fields of vegetables, grains and strawberries grow in the rich black volcanic soil of the bajio that includes not only Salamanca but León, Irapuato, Morelia, Valle de Santiago and many other towns and cities in that area. “But why go there?’ I was asked. “I am compelled by love,” I replied. Now 25 years old, Dulce still lived with Lola and Felipe, who had raised her from a baby and called her “hija, ” daughter. After not hearing from her for months and months, Dulce emailed me in August with the subject line, “Big News!” She was engaged to be married to Francisco, nicknamed Paco, and would I come to her wedding? In September Dulce wrote they had chosen the date of March 10, 2018 and reminded me, “You have a Mexican family too.” In December I spent over a thousand dollars just to keep my 1998 Subaru running, and started to wonder if I was foolish to even think about going to Mexico in the middle of winter, a lean time of the year, with a sadly depleted bank account. But 2018 was a new year, and I resolved even if it took every cent I had, and even if I was putting myself in danger of being kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel, I was going to Dulce’s wedding. My daughter Anne sat down with me one afternoon in Boulder, I handed over my Visa card, she tapped keys on her laptop, and soon my trip to and from Mexico was booked on American Airlines. I was leaving March 4, 2018 from Denver, Colorado and hopefully coming back on March 12, 2018, if I was still alive. Next week: Lola’s House

After I came home from Salamanca in March, a friend told me I had experienced a far different vacation in Mexico than the typical American tourist. She said, “The people of Estes Park might want to read about the Mexico you know, not the scary one we hear so much about.” My first visit to Salamanca in late October of 2003 was to see my Mexican friends Lola, Felipe, and their 11 year-old granddaughter Dulce, who had moved back to Mexico from Estes Park earlier that year. After that two-week trip, I had written a series of articles about my experiences in Mexico, which Kris and Gary Hazelton agreed to print in their fledgling “Estes Park News.” This last trip, I had kept a journal and taken some digital photos, so maybe I could write about my second visit to Salamanca from a different, fourteen-years-later perspective. Lola, Felipe and Dulce live in a city that is not in any way a tourist destination, as it does not have white sand beaches, ancient Mayan or Aztec ruins or immense cathedrals. In fact, both times I was there I suspected I might be the only American in the entire city. And when I told friends and acquaintances where I intended to go in Mexico, the usual response was, “Salamanca? Where is that? ” I would tell them briefly that Salamanca is in central Mexico, east of Guadalajara and northwest of Mexico City. The “BJX” code for the airport I flew into outside the city of León confused me until Dulce explained that “bajio” refers to a geographical area that is

Girl Scouts Bridge To Next Level, Celebrate End Of Year With Flair A Girl Scout bridging ceremony is a very special occasion held each year at the end of school, when Girl Scouts are recognized for all their hard work, fun and accomplishments and then are invited to go across the bridge from their current program level to the next level. On May 21st Estes Park celebrated a total of 11 girls who were recognized and bridged from one level to the next.

The progression goes like this - - Daisies to Brownies, Brownies to Junior, Juniors to Cadettes and Cadettes to Seniors and then eventually to Ambassadors and on to Adults after their graduate from high school. Program levels usually correspond to grade levels in school, but sometimes there might be a slight overlap, depending on the organization of the troops. Sometimes multi-level troops

are the way to go, because of a perpetual shortage of adults to serve as Girl Scout leaders or in other troop support positions. Bridging from Daisies to Brownies were Tara McCormick, Heidi Amschler, Carsyn Zehr & Lela Fortini. Bridging from Brownies to Juniors were Sarah Hoskins, Katie McCormick, Clara Amschler and Lenaya Dobbs.

Bridging from Juniors to Cadettes was Madison Fraley. And finally, Makayla Fraley bridged from the Cadette level to the Senior level, as she will be going into high school in the fall. Many other recognitions were given and pins, patches, gifts and flowers were awarded during the year-end celebration.

The summer will bring lots of continuing opportunities for girls to stay involved, including going to camp, either as a troop or individually; helping out with the Girl Scout’s plot in the community garden, attending special events or field trips where they get a chance to spend some of their “Cookie Credits” from selling cookies. Hard-working and dedicated troop leaders deserving our very special thanks are the following: Linda Salow, Amanda Hoskins, Christine Guy, Jennifer Miles, Brandy Bastian, Sara Bergsten and Kimberly Campbell. Other service unit support volunteers we’d like to thank are Heidi Salow and Davina Miles. Without leaders and other adults to help support troops’ efforts, Girl Scouting would be difficult to operate in Estes

Park. Of course, more leaders are always needed, and to that end we would invite any interested adults to contact Service Unit Manager, Penny Roberts at probertscolo@gmail.com or at 970-5861775 (evenings) or Volunteer Support Specialist, Susan “Snow” Kabat at Susan. Kabat@gscolorado.org.

Yoga For Beginners Steering Clear Of Summer Parking Jams Summertime attractions in downtown Estes Park: the list is bountiful. Great shopping and dining beckon, along with festivals and music concerts, not to mention the beautiful flowers and the charm of a sunny stroll along the Riverwalk. High on that list too is a library visit, to find a good summer read, tap into the free Wi-Fi, or attend one of our popular summer programs. A trip to the library can—and should— be among the highlights of a summer day in Estes Park. Because our downtown is such a popular destination, that can become challenging at certain times when traffic is heavy and parking is at a premium. Much study is currently going into analyzing traffic and parking flows, with an eye toward new solutions in the future. For now, there are some everyday options within our grasp. Your time is valuable, and here are some suggestions for accessing the library during the busier summer season. Library summer hours: with a 9 a.m. opening Mondays through Saturdays, the library is open an additional six hours each week during the summer. Most mornings, with the exception of Bond Park festival or farmer’s market days, that 9:00 hour typically offers plenty of available parking—and a nice reason to pick up a coffee along the way. Downtown parking garage: Many of our staff have discovered the parking garage as a great option in the summertime. The facility offers plenty of free shaded spaces. Then it’s just a few min-

utes to the library along the Riverwalk. We say “hello” to friends along the way and arrive at the library feeling refreshed. Give it a try on your next visit. The Twig: mini-branch at the Community Center: The Twig is smaller than a branch, but big on convenience. You now have a choice as to whether to travel downtown to borrow or return library materials, or to the Estes Valley Community Center at 660 Community Drive—it’s free and open to everyone. Sending materials to the Twig is easy. When searching the library catalog, you can place a hold on any item (except Discovery Kits, due to size), then choose “EVCC-The Twig” as pickup location. Unless the item is checked out to another borrower, we’ll deliver it to the Twig, usually within 24 hours, emailing you once it’s ready. You can return materials to The Twig at the convenient drive-up book return. It doesn’t matter whether you originally checked out the items at The Twig or not—we retrieve materials daily. Free town shuttles: Starting tomorrow, June 23, free shuttles begin service to 59 stops around town. From the Visitor Center (adjacent to the Parking Garage), you can catch the trolley (Elkhorn Express) to a handy stop near the library. At certain hours on certain days, you may encounter a parking crunch, and we know there’s no easy solution at this time. But we hope these options will help in making library access more stress-free on these alluring summer days.

Yoga And Kirtan Classes On Friday, June 29, 2018, Estes Park Yoga will be hosting a yoga and kirtan event from 6:30-8:30 p.m. This event is open to the public; $10 suggested donation. From 6:30-7:30, Ungrip the Hips! Loosen up and learn how to gain more flexibility in the hips, which allows for more comfortable sitting during kirtan, from 7:30 to 8:30. What is kirtan? The practice of kirtan comes to us through the same channel that brings us yoga: the ancient Vedic traditions that have been kept alive in India. Yoga is aimed at calming, strengthening and balancing the body, mind and spirit. Similarly, the practice of kirtan is designed to bring our mind, body and spirit into a unified and connected state through chanting divine

names accompanied by music. By joining with others in singing the names of the divine with simple melodies, our minds are brought to a calm, meditative state. No experience is necessary to join this practice; musical experience or ability is not required. Rather, the community is invited to join with open minds and hearts in the hope that kirtan, or singing meditation, could be beneficial in creating peace and calm in our lives. Estes Park Yoga is located at 145 East Elkhorn Ave., Suite 200, Estes Park, CO in downtown Estes Park. All are welcome to join and participate in the varied offerings that EPY provides to support individual and community health and wellness. www.estesparkyoga.com.

A Yoga for Beginners class will take place on Thursday, June 28 from 9:3010:30 a.m. in the Estes Valley Library, Wasson Room, 335 E. Elkhorn Ave. This session offers simple and powerful yoga postures to bring stability and bal-

ance. No physical agility or prior yoga experience is needed. Yoga: • Can relieve chronic ailments • Can relieve back pain, stress, anxiety and tension • Takes only 510 minutes to practice daily This class is for those ages seven and up and is free and open to the public. This session will be conducted by a trained Isha facilitator. Ongoing online support will be available. For more information or to RSVP, please call 419-685-2088 or email isha.estespark@gmail.com This session is brought to you by Isha Foundation, an international non-profit aimed to bring well-being to everyone through yoga and meditation.

Australia: Food, Sights And Time Travel

“Our Wonderful World” continues its 12th season of armchair travel-adventures this Monday, June 25 with “Australia and Time Travel,” a presentation by Catherine and Mark Gates. Sponsored by the Estes Valley Library, the free presentation takes place at 7 p.m. at this year’s new location: the American Legion Post 119 at 850 N. St. Vrain Avenue. Australia is the world’s largest island and a continent unto itself. Its name derives from “Terra Australis,” a term given

by geographers who deduced the existence of the land mass even before it was physically discovered. Most of the population lives in urban areas and around Australia’s thousands of miles of coastline, while much of central Australia is desert. Among Australia’s most distinctive wildlife are the marsupials, of which there are 120 species from the kangaroo to the tiny desert mouse. There are also several species of flightless birds, including the emu, second only to the African ostrich in size. Catherine and Mark Gates will share photos and stories of their travels, highlighting the continent’s delicious food, breathtaking vistas, and some encounters with time travel. For more information about this summer’s full Our Wonderful World schedule, visit estesvalleylibrary.org.

A Letter Of Apology To The Editor: Recently I participated in the Estes Valley Restorative Justice Program (EVRJP) in lieu of going to court for my minor theft offense. The EVRJ is a community process that brings victims, offender and community together after a crime occurs to identify the harm inflicted and create a system to repair that harm. The program is voluntary. I was the offender having stolen an item from a local store. The EVRJP provided an alternative to going to court by allowing me the opportunity to accept full responsibility for my actions and to take steps to repair whatever harm I had created; in my case to the store owner and my family. As a senior citizen, I concur with an-

other offender in that “breaking or running from the law is never the answer. There is no doubt in my mind that this program saved me. I would have been another senior in the world with a bad name and a record.” The EVRJP provided me a safe and supportive environment to repair the harms I brought to others. I want to thank the facilitators who managed the process, my community supporters, and to the victims who forgave my offense. The EVRJ process enabled me to face my victims and to take steps to repair the harm caused them and the community. Furthermore, the program resulted in no criminal conviction on my record, for this I am most grateful. Offender

Gregory M. “Greg” Scheuerman Gregory M. “Greg” Scheuerman, 59, formerly of Iowa City, IA and Estes Park, Colorado, died on Friday, June 8, 2018 surrounded by family at the Iowa City home of his mother and stepfather, following a ninemonth battle with pancreatic cancer. Gregory Merritt Scheuerman was born May 29, 1959 in Iowa City, the son of Sharm and Karlen (Sutton) Scheuerman. He attended Iowa City schools, graduating from West High School in the Class of 1977. He then attended Wartburg College in Waverly, IA on both football and baseball scholarships before transferring to the University of Iowa. In 1979, he moved to Denver, CO where he was employed first in the construction business and then with Kraft Foods. He returned to Iowa City in 1990 to complete his studies at the University of Iowa and received the Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 1992. After completing school, he worked in finance for the Jefferies Financial Group in Denver for several years, and then moved to Reuters News in the Financial Information department. Realizing that his true interest was in teaching, he enrolled at the University of Denver and received a Masters degree in Teaching in 2014. His first position was with the Denver Inner-city school system, where he began by teaching mathematics to middle school students. After a year in Denver, he had the opportunity to fill a position in the Estes Park, School System. It turned out to be exactly what he had wanted, teaching 7th grade math to a group of students he felt needed his full energy and involvement in order to master a difficult, but very important part of their curriculum. Greg loved his students, bonding with them and teaching in ways that could be quite innovative, like demonstrating measurement by riding his unicycle in the classroom to solve a problem. Greg loved life and lived it to the fullest. While growing up in Iowa City, he developed many of the passions that lasted throughout his life. Forever a sports fanatic, he was always there to support the West High Trojans, Iowa Hawkeyes, Chicago Cubs and many other teams that he felt close to. Above all, he was a walking encyclopedia of information about almost every sport. He also particularly loved the outdoors, which played a large part in at-

tracting him to and keeping him in Colorado. Whether he was hiking, canoeing, rafting, skiing, fly fishing for trout, with friends or alone, Greg spent many peaceful and productive hours amidst the grandeur and beauty of the mountains, forests, and streams in the backcountry. Those who knew Greg recognized his ability to cook and his joy of cooking. Whether it was grilling buffalo chicken wings, baking black-bottom cheesecake, or making sushi, he was in his element and justly proud of his accomplishments. And those who knew him also recognized that he had an immense knowledge of movies. One quickly learned that he could remember and tell you anything you wanted to know about many hundreds of small independent movies as well as the most recent releases. His exceptional memory may have been a major part of why his favorite show on TV was “Jeopardy.” Most important to Greg was his family and his very large number of lifelong friends. For him, it was as important to keep in touch with his group of friends from 50 years ago as it was with those he met just last week. And he cherished them all. Greg’s family includes his mother and her husband, Karlen and Bob Fellows, a brother, Tom and his wife Karen; a sister, Jamey and her husband David Moore; a niece, Grace Moore; a nephew, Will Moore; and his father’s widow, Kathy Scheuerman. His father, Sharm Scheuerman, died in 2010. Greg had shared his thoughts for this time and had asked that his family and friends gather to celebrate his well-lived life. A Celebration of Greg’s Life will be held the afternoon of Sunday, September 23rd at the University of Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame. At this time if you wish to share a thought, memory or condolence, please visit the funeral home website at www.gayandciha.com. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Greg’s memory to the Holden Cancer Center at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City Hospice, Inc. or a fund to further support the students of Estes Park Middle School @ 1500 Manford Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517. Gay & Ciha Funeral and Cremation Service of Iowa City is caring for Greg’s family and his arrangements.

Herbert Willard Hoover Herbert (Herb) Willard Hoover, 89, died peacefully at home on Sanibel Island, Florida, on June 4, 2018. He was born in Chicago in 1929 and lived for 50 years in Columbus, Indiana, before moving to Colorado. He spent his winters in Sanibel Island, Florida. He graduated from DePauw University, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, after which he served in the Marine Corps in Korea, attaining the rank of Captain. While in Columbus, he was an Elder at First Presbyterian Church and Fairlawn Presbyterian Church. He also was a member of the Bartholomew Consolidated School Board for eight years serving one year as president. Herb was a proud member of the planning commission, Friends of the Children’s Home and was a board member of the American Center for International Leadership, Focus 2000, Ivy Tech Development Council, and the DePauw Alumni board.
