The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. On June 8 at 9:50 p.m. police contacted a 38 year old male from Estes Park in the 200 block of Virginia Drive who was wanted on a warrant from the EPPD for failure to appear on a charge for trespassing on private property. On June 13 at 1:28 a.m. police were called to a disturbance in the 1500 block of Raven Circle. On scene they contacted a 19 year old male from Estes Park who was issued a summons for third degree assault and disorderly conduct. He was later released. They also issued a summons to a 20 year old female from Fort Collins, CO and a 17 year old juvenile female from Brighton, CO for disorderly conduct and they were later released. On June 13 at 3:14 p.m. police contacted a 56 year old male from Boulder, CO at Riverside Drive at Prospect Park Drive for a lane use violation. On scene he was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested and charged with DUI, weaving, and possessing an open container of marijuana. He was

transported to the Larimer County Jail. From EPPD: Last weekend a very unkind, mass-produced note was placed on numerous vehicles with out-ofstate plates in the Estes Valley. The note told the owners to leave Estes Park, in more colorful words. We won't show it here because we don't want to amplify the unfriendly message of a person that does not represent the welcoming people of Estes Park. We're looking for the individual(s) who did this, because we'd like to remind them that tampering with private property and littering could lead to charges in Municipal Court. If you have information on the individual(s) who did this, please contact the Estes Park Police Department Crimestoppers tip line 970-577-3838. Most importantly we want to say this... The pandemic has brought a lot of stress to everyone in the Estes Valley and everywhere -- we feel it too. Let's remember that everyone is managing this difficult time in one way or another. Let's adapt together. Let's strive to be patient and kind, together.

Let’s Focus On What We Can Control – Productive Transparency Transparency. An oft mentioned word. Describing an essential element of meaningful relationships. The foundation for conducting business. A fundamental principal of news reporting. And, according to Christopher Salem, a business process and emotional intelligence strategist, a key to productivity in each. As your mayor, I seek to be transparent in my affairs and ask others to do so in theirs. I’m serious about transparency because, as Salem’s work confirms, transparency fosters productivity. And when I and others who represent the people of Estes are transparent and productive, we do the townspeople’s work. Transparency must walk a razor’s edge. Its goodness and productivity a mere misstep from bad. Where reporter, in the name of transparency with an obsessive belief there’s more to a statement, proposal or action—a story behind the story—put things on a dead end path. But, finding nothing nefarious going on remains silent. Letting things sit rather than responsibly reporting it as a simple, transparent, and non- scandalous piece of news. News reporters employ certain practices—sometimes in the name of transparency—that can waste precious cycles and reduce productivity. Asking an official about a question a transparent action (cancelling fireworks) with intent to malign that action after the fact. Or a question, for which the goal isn’t a straight-up answer. Or ending a news story with a wisp of editorial insight about something possibly happening behind the scenes. Practices that set the stage for more questions. Another article. More sales. Additional advertisements. Innuendo and gotcha fueled practices meant to cast doubt on wellmeaning people that in turn gum up productivity. For the town government of the people of Estes, transparency is readily apparent. Participation in the matters of
their town is a right. Their board of trustees make decisions and take actions in a transparent manner. When decisions and actions aren’t clear, staff and townspeople transparently request clarification. All of which enable staff to transparently deliver end-products. Each a newsworthy event. Typically, a factory model measures labor time products manufactured determining productivity. For Estes’, with the number of government, the product is not an item. It’s a process that produces specific results for townspeople. It involves public meetings, outreach in neighborhoods, task forces, committees, forums, surveys, and so on. Reach-out approaches for transparently engaging townspeople and informing actions and decisions of their elected officials and staff. Each an example of how transparency and engagement foster greater productivity for Estes. Achieving common good, rarely equates to 100% acceptance. Transparent processes of public input, are often messy. Opinions differ. As do motivations, needs, and desires. Fortunately, civil discourse, invariably morphs into action plans that reflect the collective desires of the people of Estes. Any after-the-fact news story questioning the product of a transparent process disrespects townspeople, diminishes their product, undermines its implementation, and disrupts the overall productivity of Estes. Bad news is bad for Estes. People of Estes, keep participating in your town government. Continue engaging town board members, staff, task force and committee members. Watch bi-weekly meetings, read reports, and volunteer. Your participation, turns transparency into productivity that moves Estes forward. Each a news story I look forward to reading.

Stories From The Wandering Wildlife Society Volunteers
By: Estes Valley Watershed Coalition
This is calving season for elk and deer, so our volunteers are out in our orange vests to make sure people and wildlife stay safe. They have spotted several cows and calves around the west end of Lake Estes. Knowing that new mamas can be aggressively protective of their young, our volunteers tell visitors to keep their distance, especially those with dogs. They often see first hand and hear reports about people being chased by mamas, so our volunteers regularly communicate the dangers to people they meet along the lake path. They are also communicating with Estes Park Police and CPW as needed. If you see cows and calves at this time, please keep your distance. Our volun-
teers are out at random times during busy weekends, Fridays through Sundays, near the Visitor’s Center and Bird Sanctuary. To learn more about the Wandering Wildlife Society, please go to www.WanderingWildlifeSociety.org

Stanley Home Accomplishments In June 2020 After removing most of the furnishing left by the prior owners (modern items) we were very concerned we would be left with only empty rooms to show in the home. That concern was put to rest when the Stanley Home Museum and Education Center received donations of so many gorgeous treasurers dating back from the 1900s. The community support for this project has been wonderful, and we are so grateful. This week we had many volunteers assist in giving these treasures a little extra care, repairs or just a good cleaning and a coat of polish. We were all excited watching the beauty of these pieces come alive with every additional coat of
wax and polish that we applied. Imagining days long gone when these items were used, and by who, was a lot of fun. Thank you so much to all our enthusiastic helpers. I’d also like to thank Judi O’Neal of Buried Treasures, here in Estes Park. Judi priced all the furnishing from the house, took pictures and put them on-line for a virtual sale. Having arranged everything carefully in the garage so all pieces could easily be seen, she scheduled individual appointments for potential buyers (with masks). With Judi’s experience and perseverance, we were able to sell every last piece. We could not have done the sale without her. Thank you, Judi

Larimer County Treasurer Irene Josey Extends Waiver Of Delinquent Interest The Colorado Legislature recently passed a bill that grants county treasurers the authority to waive delinquent interest between June 15, 2020, and October 1, 2020, for Irene Josey 2019 taxes payable in 2020. This is similar to two previous executive orders signed by Governor Jared Polis that waived interest through April 30, 2020. Based on this new legislation, Larimer County Treasurer Irene Josey will waive delinquent interest for any taxpayer who still owes current year property taxes beginning on June 16, 2020. Taxpayers may submit payment until September 30, 2020 without penalty of delinquent interest. Interest on delinquent property tax payments from prior years and redemption interest on property tax liens are ex-
cluded from this waiver. Beginning October 1, 2020, interest will accrue at the statute-mandated 1% per month and be subject to advertising and distraint fees as scheduled. The Larimer County Tax Lien Sale will remain scheduled for November 19, 2020. All property taxes must be collected to meet the budgetary requirements of all certified taxing authorities. The annual tax lien sale is held to collect these unpaid taxes. Treasurer Josey encourages those who are able to pay their property taxes before the waiver ends to please do so. The timely receipt of property taxes is essential to the effective delivery of services to you by our county health department, fire districts, cities, towns, and special districts and local law enforcement agencies. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Treasurer’s Office via email at lctreasurer@larimer.org or by phone at 970-498-7020. Information is also available on our website at https://www.larimer.org/treasurer.

Be Aware Of Those Around You Who May Need Help Do you know if your elderly neighbors, friends or family who live alone are OK? An elderly friend of mine just shared with me that several weeks ago she wasn’t doing very well, especially not eating. One of her friends noticed, alerted her family and they set up several different options for food delivery services for her. If this is you or someone you may know, there are many food delivery services that are available. Just google “home food delivery services” and many choices will pop up. I have used one and have friends that have used different companies and they are very good. Many local restaurants are offering delivery or no contact pick up, Country Super Market will take your order and bring it to your car. If you need to use a food bank, Crossroads will take your food order and bring it back out to your car and load it in your car for you. Meals on Wheels is also available through
Crossroads. Bottom line – please be aware of those around you who my need help. Estes Valley Crisis Advocates serves people who are experiencing trauma.

We need an intervention at Buttonbelly Farm. While loading my car with boxes to take to the thrift store, I realized I have an addiction to kitchen gadgets and appliances. This isn’t a new revelation, but for the first time I find myself facing it head-on. One or two of the token devices I had actually decided to part with were staring at me angrily from the depths of their cardboard confines, but most of the gadgets—even though unused—I simply can’t seem to abandon. Our utility room has a nook we’re sure was originally intended for an upright freezer. At one time we did have a spare refrigerator tucked away in the space. But a few years ago, I convinced my husband, Joel, the space would be better utilized with shelves to store the kitchen devices that had overwhelmed all available counter space in our kitchen. He agreed. But not even that proved to be enough. There’s now an antique cabinet in our family room disguised to house the overflow. I’m pretty sure there’s not a single dish in the universe that I couldn’t cook with the equipment we have in our house. Do you want to make ice cream? We can make both traditional and soft-serve varieties. Do you need waffle-cone boats to serve said ice cream in? We’ve got you covered. I can make pizzelle, panini, mini pot pies, doughnuts, Belgian waffles, and Death Star shaped waffles. We can use an electric fryer to prepare our Thanksgiving turkey and cook steaks to perfection with our Sous Vide device. Want a smoothie in the morning? Our Vitamix will take care of that. Would you like to make your own fizzy water? Well, just reach for the Soda Stream. Rather have an old-fashioned malt? We can make one for you in the Waring Pro. Hardboiled eggs are a snap in our Instant Pot. Want fresh bread? Turn on the Zohirushi. I couldn’t live without my stick blender, our Foodsaver vacuum sealer, or the KitchenAid stand mixer (although the latter is getting much less use of late). One of my two prize possessions, however, is our Thermomix 6 that can cook an entire exquisite meal all by itself. And it makes heavenly butter in less than five minutes. We were introduced to the machine in France two years ago and most French homes have some version of the
device. The second favorite appliance in our home is my FreshTECH machine that makes the best jams and canned foods ever. Later, when I’m in the mood to make truffles, I can pull out our Dove chocolate tampering machine. And then there’s the electric pasta maker. Of course, we have the standard toaster oven on the counter, a Keurig coffeemaker and a Nespresso machine, and the air fryer. But don’t get me started on slow cookers. There’s a round cast iron one in the kitchen and a larger ovalshaped version in the family room cabinet. Almost forgot—there’s a mini slow cooker tucked away somewhere on the back of a shelf. Like I said, it’s time for an intervention. Although, it must be noted that’s it’s taken about twenty years to acquire all of this stuff and it will take the rest of my life for me to part with any of it. In a side note: Joel does have one cooking device of his own in the utility room: It’s some sort of an OptaGrill indoor thingy you can program to sense the doneness of the meat you’re cooking. I think it might have been three or four years since it’s seen the light of day, but I’m not about to pass judgment. Regarding slow cookers . . . I do have an admission to make. Just before COVID19 took control of our lives, I had loaded a few things in the trunk of my car to take to the thrift store. Among them were several backpacks and—yes—yet another slow cooker. Since until recently we haven’t been able to donate things, it’s been riding around with me for several months. Last night I made a spaghetti squash dish with a tomato sauce and cheese topping. The first recipe I considered was a slow cooker version with meatballs. Unfortunately, the round cooker on our counter wouldn’t accommodate the cut squash and the oval device we have was too big. In a moment of weakness, I almost went out to the car to retrieve the third slow cooker which would have been perfect. However, I was strong and used an oven recipe instead. Beginning any sort of endeavor is always the hardest. Maybe I’ve taken the first step. But that darn slow cooker in the trunk is still calling to me . . .
Thank You, Larimer County Residents To The Editor: Thank you, Larimer County. With your help, our community has been successful in flattening the curve in our fight against COVID-19. Together we have been effective in this challenge. This outcome could not have been possible without your diligence, dedication and compassion for others in our community. Our residents have taken seriously their responsibility to protect the highly susceptible portion of our population. You have stayed home, you’ve washed your hands, you’ve social distanced, and you’ve worn facial coverings. Your actions have protected your friends, your family, and your community. Addition-
ally, your actions are allowing our business community to reopen and for us all to return to a daily routine that seems more “normal.” While we have been successful in flattening the curve, we all know that the curve does not go away. However, the Larimer County Board of Health is optimistic that our community will remain dedicated to protecting the people in our community most susceptible to the virus. Thank you for your perseverance, Larimer County, and please continue to keep up the good work. Larimer County Board of Health

When I grocery shop I want to go alone because I don’t like to be rushed. You see, for me grocery shopping is a form of entertainment. Call me zany, but I like it. The fun begins on Wednesdays when the newspaper inserts arrive. I pour over them, make lists, note sale prices, and hop up from the table to check our supply of staples such as pickle relish—when pickle relish is on sale. The amusement continues when I get to the store, put on my mask (until there’s a COVID vaccine), wipe down the handle of the cart, put on my sweater to ward off the chill of the meat department and frozen food aisles, and begin my spree. The big reveal: grocery shopping is all about the label. Example: have you bought a jar of Planters dry roasted peanuts lately? There are original, honey roasted, low salt and no salt versions. The jars and labels look almost identical, so it is important to study the label to make sure you’re getting what you want. I like original Planter’s dry roasted peanuts and was disappointed when I accidentally bought a no salt version and didn’t realize it until several days later when I opened the jar. Peanuts without salt? Aught to be outlawed. Since that blunder I examine the information on the jars very carefully before I buy. Example: when’s the last time you looked at the ingredients in a container of cottage cheese? Only one brand—Daisy—has three ingredients: skim milk, cream and salt. The others have a list of mystery additives that makes one wonder how they can call it cheese. On the label I see carrageenan (made from seaweed), locust bean gum (extracted from the carob tree seed) and guar gum (extracted from the guar tree—of course. Guar trees grow in India and Pakistan. How a bean from India ended up in my cottage cheese is a question I’ve yet to find the answer to). Cottage cheese labels also list three different acids, modified cellulose (which comes from wood pulp and cottonseeds), and some chemicals that imitate nature. I discovered this cryptic list because I spent several minutes reading the labels on all of the different brands of cottage cheese before I put the three-ingredient Daisy brand in my cart. My brother-in-law found out the hard way about the importance of label inspection. He bought cottage cheese for his wife—my sister—and when he got it home, discovered he’d bought cottage cheese with chives. So he took it back and exchanged it. When he brought the second container home and gave it to Alice, she looked at it and said, “With chives?” Sure as tootin’, Bob had bought cottage cheese with chives for a second time! It’s right there on the front of the container: “with chives.” How
did this happen? I suspect label reading is a skill developed and passed on from mother to daughter while all the sons missed out. I don’t know one man who will spend the time and energy reading labels in the grocery store like I do. For me it’s an adventure. For them it is a tribulation. Example: I grew up having root beer floats around the kitchen table on hot summer nights when some sweet, cold relief was needed. Because of this tradition I’ve recently had a hankering for a root beer float. My affiliate Joe offered to go to the store to get some root beer. He came back with a four-pack of Frosty’s vanilla root beer. “Hmmm,” I said. “Vanilla root beer? Is that like cream soda?” (answer: no, it is not.) Joe was disappointed. He saw the Frosty’s brand and figured it would be good. He never noticed the word vanilla. Joe has three sisters. It’s obvious they got all the label-reading genes and Joe got none. Label scrutiny can be a curse sometimes. During this pandemic, some of us are finding comfort in food from our past. Think creamed chipped beef on toast, boxed macaroni and cheese and beanie weenies. For me, it’s Pop Tarts. Up until a month ago I hadn’t eaten a Pop Tart in decades. I decided I’d earned a box of Pop Tarts because I’d successfully isolated for three months. Without reading the label I bought a box of frosted strawberry Pop Tarts. (Subliminally I knew better than to peruse the list of ingredients.) They were as good as I remembered them! I decided to reward myself with another box since I’m still practicing social distancing. Herein was a dilemma: should I get frosted or plain? I toast my Pop Tarts until they brown and then, if they’re not frosted, I spread butter on them. The butter melts into the crust and ooo-la-la! What doesn’t taste good soaked in melted butter? But the frosted ones are mighty tasty too. (My sister tells me I can have the best of both worlds: get the frosted ones and butter the underside. Brilliant!) I picked up a box of brown sugar/cinnamon Pop Tarts this time. But I couldn’t resist: I read the nutrition label. Then I reluctantly put the box back on the shelf. Pop Tarts do not have one single solitary iota of nutritional value. Zippo. So it’s back to Dave’s Killer Good Seed bread with Smucker’s natural peanut butter for breakfast. What’s in the peanut butter? Peanuts and less than one percent salt. Now that’s my kind of label!

Rotary Club Of Estes Park Supports Local COVID Relief By: Rita DuChateau, Rotary Club of Estes Park The Rotary Club of Estes Park Foundation has approved two grants this month aimed at providing immediate relief for individuals and organizations most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Crossroads Ministry and the Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center each will receive $4,500. “Through these two entities we reach both the nonprofit organizations and individuals in our community who are truly in need at this time of disruption,” said Madison Casey, Estes Park Rotary Foundation Chairman. The funds have been directed to the Nonprofit Resource Center’s special Nonprofit Relief Fund and to the Crossroads Ministry’s COVID Relief for Human Needs fund. Crossroads’ special fund provides food, rent and utilities assistance to those impacted by the pandemic’s economic fallout in Estes Park. The Nonprofit Resource Center’s fund has provided over $25,000 in support for local nonprofit programs since the pandemic closed schools, businesses and service offices. Support has included: an additional phone line to accommodate the increased intake needs of local service providers; fresh foods sourced for the Food Support Network; routers and other resources that allow students to continue remote learning and for families to be connected; funds to support nonprofit organizations with rent, utilities, equipment maintenance; direct support to veterans and first responders; and technology that supports mobile crisis responders.
"We are so grateful for the Estes Park Rotary Foundation's generous support of the EP Nonprofit Relief Fund, which provides the resources local nonprofits require to respond to COVID-related needs,” said Laurie Dale Marshall, executive director. “Our goal is to prevent gaps in services to the community and this donation allows us to do just that. EPNRC is thankful for the opportunity to partner with the Estes Park Rotary Foundation to ensure local nonprofits remain strong during this pandemic and beyond." In addition to the $9,000 in grants awarded this month, the Rotary Club of Estes Park and many individual Rotarians donated $10,700 to the Estes Park Health Foundation in April and May for its COVID-19 Relief Fund. The fund was established to outfit four patient rooms with negative pressure systems, help the hospital obtain additional personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff, care for the uninsured, acquire equipment and upgrade facilities. The hospital foundation grant began with a donation of $1,000 from the Rotary Club, to which a generous club member added $1,000 and then offered to match club members’ donations. The total amount sent to the EPH Foundation from the Rotary Club and many generous club members was $10,700, according to EPH Foundation Executive Director Kevin Mullin. The Rotary Club of Estes Park, founded in 1926, supports local high school students with its scholarship program, provides grants to local nonprofits, and partners with area charities in the annual Estes Park Rotary Duck Race. In addition, the club raises funds for regional projects and international initiatives. The club’s motto is “Service Above Self.”

Young Wildlife Do Not Need Your Help: Leave Them Alone Photo by Sandy Lindquist
help them avoid predators and to learn how to live in the wild,” DelPiccolo explained. Deer provide a good example of how wildlife adapt behaviors to help them survive. Young fawns have no scent and are born with speckled coats that proPhoto by Sandy Lindquist
This is the time of year when wild animals give birth to their young and Colorado Parks and Wildlife provides this reminder: do not approach, touch or handle young animals. “We know that people are trying to be helpful, but the young animals are best cared for by their own parents,” said Renzo DelPiccolo, area wildlife manager in Montrose for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “The best thing people can do is to leave young wildlife alone.” During spring and early summer, people often see young animals that appear to be alone in the forest, in backyards, on or near trails or along the sides of roads. “The animals have not been abandoned. Young animals are often left alone to allow the mother to feed, to

vide a natural camouflage. These two factors help them avoid being found by predators. When the mother doe senses a predator might be close by it moves away. Many other animals use similar survival techniques. Elk and moose calves are also left alone by their mothers. If you see one, move away quickly. Do not move closer or attempt to get the animal to move. Young birds often fall out of their nests or are pushed out of nests by parents to encourage them to fly. “If a young bird is on the ground it will quickly learn to fly. So let nature take its course,” DelPiccolo said. If you see a bird on a hiking trail and you think it might be stepped on accidentally or easily found by a dog, you can pick it up and move it a short distance to cover. People also need to keep their pets under control. In the woods, dogs acting on their natural instincts can find animals and attack them. The stress of being attacked often is fatal for young animals.
In neighborhoods and backyards cats are adept at finding eggs and young birds. Cats are pets – but they’re also predators. “Many studies show that cats are damaging the songbird population. Please, don’t let your cat roam free,” DelPiccolo said. Cat owners should place a small bell on the cat's collar and the sound will alert small animals. Food should never be given to wildlife. There is plenty of natural food available for wild animals. Providing food causes animals to bunch up in small areas and that makes them vulnerable to diseases and predators. If they're provided food they also become habituated to humans and will stay in residential areas instead of natural lands. People also need to understand that not all newborn animals will survive. “In the case of all wildlife, we have to understand that mortality is part of the natural cycle,” DelPiccolo said. If you see a young animal, admire its beauty from a distance, and then move on quietly. CPW also encourages parents to explain to their children not to disturb wildlife. If you have any questions, call the nearest Colorado Parks and Wildlife office. For more information about Colorado Parks and Wildlife, see: cpw.state.co.us.

Coach Ralph Jones – Where Are You?
By: Matt Werner
Get our 3-Bed, 2-Bath, 4-Door, V-6 discount.
A historic sports figure retired to Estes Park, Colorado, in 1949, started writing his autobiography, and died shortly thereafter. A copy of his manuscript has been found, but the first 9 pages—critical pages about his early years in Indiana—are missing. His correspondence with Hall of Fame coaches is missing too. But they could be sitting in an attic somewhere, your attic even. Can you help us find them? The figure was Ralph R. Jones. He coached football and basketball and some consider him Indiana’s first basketball coach (Indiana loves its basketball). He was a national champion coach at Wabash College, Big Ten champion coach at Purdue and University of Illinois, and he coached the Chicago Bears to a NFL championship. He wrote the very first book on coaching basketball and co-wrote “The Modern T Formation,” that revolutionized football. Ralph Jones was born in Indiana and graduated from Indianapolis Shortridge High School in 1901. He was a humble man, despite his successful career. He worked at the YMCA, Butler, Franklin
College, and Indiana University before moving on to Wabash, Purdue, Illinois, and the Chicago Bears. He spent the bulk of his career at Lake Forest Academy and Lake Forest College. Jones and his wife, Florence, had summered in Estes Park, Colorado, in the 1940s. When he retired from Lake Forest College in 1949, the couple sold their Illinois home and settled permanently in Estes Park. At the urging of a Lake Forest professor (Louis A. Keller*), Jones began dictating his autobiography to a local Estes Park kid who typed Jones’ words. Jones and Keller collaborated on the biography. They corresponded via mail and Jones shared letters from former players and coaches such as Knute Rockne, George Halas, Clark Shaughnessy, Red Grange, and Bronco Nagurski for Keller to review and return. Two years later, Jones died in a Boulder, Colorado, hospital on July 25, 1951. His widow, Florence C. Jones, died February 10, 1953. The Joneses had no children, but did have a will. Some assets were distributed Continued on next page.

Eugene Green of Estes Park was the executor and settlement of the final estate was published in October and November 1953 in the Estes Park Trail. Eugene Green and his wife, Alliene, received the household furnishings of the Jones’ property located on Lot 1, Stanley Heights Addition B to the Town of Estes Park. Inventory of the Jones estate included “2 boxes of Ralph Jones’s coaching notes and material.” Surely Jones’ autobiography and letters were in those boxes. Did the contents of the boxes survive?

EVERY LIFE MATTERS! I wonder how many other people wrestled with our recent bombardment about ‘lives that matter’. All sensitive people would readily agree that the lives of all nationalities matter and it is evident by the efforts that take place when such people are in danger. We have witnessed it during the pandemic as no effort has been spared to treat every patient, regardless of race, with the hopes of helping that person survive, and we’ve rejoiced at every success and mourned at every failure. All lives matter: black lives, white lives, brown lives, blue lives. Every person’s life matters. You probably remember that children’s song of years ago that stated: “Red and yellow, black and white. They are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” And all of us who believe the Bible and follow the life of Christ hold to that truth. Jesus interacted with people of all races and nationalities and showed that ‘all lives matter’. He healed the daughter of a Syrophenician (Greek) woman, taught a Samaritan woman at a well in Samaria, used the story of a ‘good Samaritan’ to teach a powerful lesson, taught both Jews and Greeks, was approached by Greeks who ‘would see Jesus’ and spent time with them, and healed the ear of a Roman soldier. In this way Jesus testified that ‘all lives matter’, whether young…‘suffer the little children to come unto me’…or advanced in age. He had His followers testify: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female…all are one in Christ.” “All lives matter” should be evident in the intense effort to save each one. “Little lives matter” and that is evident in the efforts to find and spare every one. One of my sons was involved in the intense search for a three-year-old boy who disappeared in the Eagle River area…his little life ‘matters!’ We’ve been following the news about the search for a missing sister and brother in Idaho and saddened that such a spirit…‘all lives matter’…wasn’t in the heart of those persons who took their lives… ’their young lives matter!’ “All little lives matter!” “All grown-up lives matter,” My other son in Denver has been helping conduct a search for an adult who disappeared while riding her bike on Mother’s Day. Again, the fear is that someone didn’t hold to the truth that “all lives matter” and she may not be alive today. And how many others of all ages and varied positions in life fall victims to foul play at the hands of people of all cultures and races and ‘walks of life’, who do not believe that ‘every life matters’ and but rather seem to believe ‘my life matters’…’I want a better life’, ‘I want more respect’, ‘I want…’ And, truly, their lives do matter, along with every other life that dwells on this earth. Let’s examine our hearts and determine to live to prove that this is our guiding philosophy. “All lives matter” was the guiding principle of Jesus’ life. “Jesus went about doing good and healing all manner of diseases.” “Jesus gave His life as a ransom for many”. “God so loved the world that ‘whosoever’ believeth on Him should not perish but have eternal life”. “I came to seek and save that which was lost,” He said. He warned “What is a man profited if he gains the whole world and forfeits his own life!” To Jesus and all who claim to belong to Him “Every life matters!” I trust that, during this time of worldwide turmoil we will search our own hearts to strengthen our resolve to realize the preciousness of every occupant of God’s great world. Truly, all lives, including mine, yours, and theirs, ‘matters,’ and I hope that each of us will use those lives as the precious commodity that they are, to serve all mankind because ‘all matter’…to Him and to us. God bless us in that endeavor. Bob Lewis

Our town is over 100 years old and the age of our valley is immeasurable. However, if we want to survive the next century, or, perhaps, even the next decade or two, with anything close to the idyllic village we now maintain, we must pay close attention to the modern demands of sustainability. More than one factor contributes to the capability to survive in this presently ever more turbulent world. Estes has always been proficient about pulling together for the benefit of the community in times of chaos and disaster. I trust we will remain “Mountain Strong.â€? However, recent developments have shown that we need to dedicate time, finances, and effort to more longterm goals as well. We cannot ignore the fact that ecology affects the economy and the economy has an equal effect on ecology. Sustainability is dependent upon maintaining a sensible balance. Estes (both Park and Valley) is one of the few places where there is an abundance of trees, wild animals roam freely, and the Earth is not obliterated by concrete. ‌ And yet ‌ we have the trappings of civilization: schools, churches, library, hospital, an active Town government, and (sufficient?) gathering places. Moreover, we maintain a small town attitude of cooperation and caring. It is a part of the culture here. Estes is unique. If you consider the latest pandemic a “bug,â€? we have, in the last eight years, experienced fire, flood, and pestilence, but, together, we have persevered. The clean air, great water, and beautiful landscape are very attractive, but the interactive community itself is what makes us unique. We truly want our neighbors to succeed. We are a well-educated, creative community who believe in contribution, which is why our volunteer base is so strong. Estes is unique. A major force in the coming months and years will be ecological offerings. It is possible, now, to travel coast to coast in an electric car, without resorting to gasoline. Most communities offer easy access to garbage collection, recycling of one-time use items, composting, construction and demolition collections,
haz-mat disposal solutions, some form of “passing on� the reusables, and some hard-to-recycle answers. Municipalities collaborate to furnish various forms of public transportation. Society is pursuing alternative energy for heat and electricity, eliminating the dependence on coal and fossil fuels. These offerings are beginning to affect where people go and how long they stay, both on vacation and permanently. Do we want to “close the gate?� Quite the opposite, to remain viable, we must maintain interaction with the outside world. We must attract a diverse assembly of residents with broad expertise, contributing to the endurance and development of the society. We need leaders and followers. We need artists and worker-bees. We need young, energetic families and experienced elders. Do we need to keep things as they always were? I, personally, believe that would devastate both the economy and the ecology. Watch the river. Isolated pools that allow the rushing water to pass them by – stagnate. Gone are the days of doing “what has always been done.� People are living longer and often retiring later. They are leaving the large cities for places with less pollution and more space. They are fleeing the coastline, where rising oceans are invading the shorelines. They are discovering the center of the country is, for the most part, more economical. Multigenerational families are increasing in popularity again, worldwide. The world of tomorrow is not likely to move to retire. They will already be there. They are not waiting, they are moving now. The time has come. If we want to remain a small town with the amenities common to larger communities, we will need to be inclusive of many aspects. Sensible sustainability demands that we consider both economic and ecological aspects of every issue, while still protecting our local culture. Working together, we can maintain that balance, keeping Estes unique. Agree? Disagree? RRRcyc@signsandwishes.com
Save The Date: Estes Recycles Two-Station Drive-Thru Event Sat. August 8, 9-Noon At PCCR On Saturday, August 8, from 9 to noon at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies you will be able to shred your sensitive paper documents and properly recycle old paint and related paint products. No other items can be accepted this year. For shredding there will be a drive-thru limit of three “banker’s� boxes per vehicle (typically a banker’s box is 15 x 12 x 9 inches, with a filled weight of about 30 pounds) However, if you have more than three boxes, don’t despair. We have a backup plan. Please contact tara@aspenbrookinvestments.com as
soon as possible to discuss other shredding options. This year is different: you stay in your car and volunteers from the League of Women Voters Community Recycling Committee and the Rotary Club will unload your trunk and return your empty boxes. Contributions to the Rotary Club Scholarship Fund are strongly encouraged (suggested donation: $10 per box of paper – well below the market rate).

Superheroes In Estes
Ballet Renaissance’s 2020 Summer Program for Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County If you’re looking for superheroes, look no further than the annual Ballet Renaissance summer program for Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County, right here in Estes Park. Despite the challenges COVID presents, Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County and Ballet Renaissance are working together to keep children safe, while implementing the 5th annual BGCLC summer program in Estes. The Ballet Renaissance BGCLC summer program, made possible by generous support from the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado’s Estes Valley Community Fund, is curriculum-based and tuition-free, and has become a popular annual tradition. “Ballet Renaissance is a part of the DNA of our Estes summer program,” said Kaycee Headrick, Executive Director of BGCLC. “Ballet Renaissance was an important part of our first summer program in Estes, back in 2016, and has been an important part of our Estes program, every summer since.” Superhero classes for boys are a particularly popular part of the program. Taught by Ballet Renaissance’s Radoslaw Kokoszka, a graduate of the School of American Ballet (NYC), su-
perhero classes focus on developing strength, coordination, respect for self and others, creativity and discipline, in exciting and innovative ways. “The boys learn so much more than ballet. We give them a platform to express themselves with confidence,” said Kokoszka. “The structured ballet classes build great habits of focus and self-discipline, which are super important for empowering strong and prosperous individuals and communities.” Although BCGLC COVID-related safety procedures require ballet classes be online this summer, the two nonprofits have found a creative and innovative way to work together to keep students dancing. “We are grateful Ballet Renaissance is willing to adapt to the situation, and work with us in this innovative way,” said Headrick. “Virtual classes work perfectly for us,” shared Ballet Renaissance Founder, Brianna Furnish. “We’re on the same page with BGCLC, and excited about working together to support, uplift and inspire children here in Estes, again this summer.” For more information about Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County: www.begreatlarimer.org For more information about Ballet Renaissance: www.balletren.org

History Of Modern Rock Climbing In Estes Park & Longs Peak
Adam Dohn, a recent graduate of Bates College, is a curator here at the Baldpate Keyroom. He grew up climbing in the back woods of upstate New York and Pennsylvania. In 2016 he moved to Maine for college, and he was soon climbing sea cliffs all along the rocky granite coast. He studied Anthropology and History and is looking to pursue a graduate degree in museum studies. Moving to Estes Park this summer to follow his passion, he has prepared a presentation on the history of rock climbing both on Longs Peak and in the Estes Park valley. This talk will cover nearly a century of history of technical climbing on these outstanding formations, but will focus on the modern era of free climbing. From Lumpy Ridge to the Diamond, Adam will explain the basics of climbing
including a small showand-tell of his gear collection We are honored to feature Mr. Dohn at our Summer Enchanted speaking about the History of Modern Rock Climbing in Estes Park & Longs Peak.

Thirty-nine years ago, on June 19, 1981, I was “bawling like a baby” as my oldest daughter walked down the aisle wearing my wedding dress. Of course, she looked gorgeous. We were in St. John’s Catholic Church in New Orleans with all our family and friends, even most of my bridemaids were present. (No one, but us, ever seem to move from New Orleans.) We had fortunately returned from having lived in other places just in time for our children to regain their family roots and able to attend L. S.U as we had. My how time has flown, and our family has changed and grown and diminished with the passing of members. But gain and loss of loved ones is all part of living. At that time of my life, I never imagined leaving New Orleans. Who would of thought Caliste (my husband) and I were destined for a new adventure? We had finally returned to family, friends and our beloved city, New Orleans. Ah, but our hearts had also been captured by Colorado and the mountains. We retired in 1994 to build our dream home here in our little paradise, Estes Park. That is when I got involved with rhubarb. Bless or curse the day. A friend was thinning her plants and gave me some. We stuck them out in the back of our new house in what here is called soil. Never did a thing to them. I have such a crop each year I must call for help to take some away. Even a mother elk loves my rhubarb patch. No, she does not eat it, she has her baby there, two years in a row. Now a friend of mine has discovered my crop and is joyfully “picking” away with her husband. Sorry there is no excess now for y’all. I am thrilled that it is being loved and harvested. I just cannot pick and freeze any more. My one requirement for her was a recipe for rhubarb. Here is Ludie’s Rhubarb Cake.
Rhubarb Cake
1 ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar 2/3 cup cooking oil 1 cup buttermilk 1 ¾ cinnamon divided
1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. vanilla 1 extra large egg (I used just large, all I had) 2 ½ cup flour 1 ½ fresh rhubarb, cut into small pieces. (if using frozen, just slightly defrost) 1 cup chopped walnuts (I use pecans). 1 Tbs. soften butter ½ cup sugar Mix brown sugar, oil, buttermilk. Add one tsp. cinnamon, the soda, salt, vanilla, egg, and flour. Add rhubarb and nuts. Mix well and spoon batter into greased loaf pan or 13 x 10 pan (I used 4- 3 x 5 inch loaf pans so I think she means 2 regular loaf pans.) Combine remaining cinnamon, white sugar and butter until crumbly an sprinkle evenly on top. Bake in pre-heated oven about one hour and ten minutes Cool and wrap in foil. Allow to age in refrigerator for two days and serve. Freezes well. Her added notes are: 3 loaf pans 4” x 8” take about 45 minutes, she uses a spring form pan and it takes about 45 mins. My smaller pans took 45 minutes. I made the cake and it is delicious, the top gets really “crusty,” so a sharp knife is suggested for cutting. Ludie also sometimes cuts it in half and freezes half. I have eaten two of mine already. My children and their families are scattered from New Orleans now but we all still have strong ties that bind us to Louisiana and New Orleans. Theresa and family are in Houston and Chris and his are in Nevada. With this virus and separation, I am fortunate to have Marie and Greg and their families living here. Some are not as fortunate. May this time pass soon, and our community remain well and prosperous. I look forward to being with my friends soon. Playing bridge with a robot is just not the same! My email: esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon Appétit.

News From The Art Center Of Estes Park COMING UP – A DOUBLE FEATURE Opening on June 26 – “Jewel Tones and Gem Stones” featuring Diana Wade and Alice League. The Art Center is proud to present our next exhibit as a double feature highlighting two of our Board of Directors members Diana Wade, President and Alice League, Treasurer. This week, let’s introduce Diana Wade.
1010 S. ST. VRAIN C-4 This comfortable 2 bedroom 1 bath condo is located at the north end of the Eagles Landing complex. This home has been gen gently used as a getaway, and all windows (ex (except one in bedroom) along with sliding door have been replaced. The windows coupled with the location of this unit allow an abundance of natural light with a distant view of Lumpy Ridge. Great for full or parttime living. Most furnishings included. Call Trisha to view, offered for $237,000.
A retired RN, Diana, began to study painting in 2003 after retiring to Colorado after spending 30 years in medical administrative work on Galveston Island, Texas. She and her husband of 53 years live in Loveland, although she says “My ‘art heart’ has been at the Art Center of Estes Park since I became an artist member in 2009.” Born in Illinois, many of her early paintings in watercolor and pastel were of the rural scenes of her childhood...or cats! Several years ago, she added mixed media/collage to her list of accomplishments and loves creating “vintage collage” utilizing all sorts of family ephemera. With an eye toward evolving as an artist, Diana’s journey into what she calls “abstractivity” began in 2011. She is endlessly fascinated and challenged to discover new ways to pare shapes and ideas “down to the bone” regardless of the chosen media. Adding layer after layer is her counterintuitive way of “uncovering” the real essence of the work. “The ‘real story’ is hiding in there somewhere,” she says. “I just have to keep experimenting and piling on, until the moment the painting starts to sing to me. I know it the minute I hear it, more than see it!” It’s important to this artist to let the viewer know how she feels in each of her paintings, and hopefully they can also hear it sing. Diana describes receiving a “lesson in perspective” shortly after one of her very first abstracts was juried into the 2013 Colorado State Watercolor Society Show: “I was beyond thrilled to be juried into this show, and then to find out that By the Bottle had been sold was the icing on the cake. A big red dot on the title card is the be all and end all for an artist! After scoping out the rest of the show, I drifted back close to my piece and decided to eavesdrop on an older couple lingering right in front of it... hoping to hear some high praise. The man took a good, long look at it, red dot and all and said, ‘Well, at least someone liked it!’”
She hopes the folks who visit “Jewel Tones and Gem Stones” at the Art Center between June 26 and August 9 will enjoy the large variety of new framed pastels, some more abstract than others, that she’s created especially for the show. “A few red dots wouldn’t hurt either!” she says with a smile. This will be the final weekend to enjoy “The Back Roads”, the works of photographer; Curtis Ghent. The exhibit closes June 21. Also on display in the gallery
will be the outstanding work of the other Art Center artist members, including other works in oil painting, watercolor, pastel, jewelry, ceramics, charcoal, graphite, glass, wood, sculpture, fiber, photography, printmaking and mixed media. The Art Center is open Friday through Monday 12-4 p.m. MASKS Our “Sweat Shop Team” of Pauline Bustamante, Susan Anderson and Anne Sneary have been busy producing a number of colorful masks, which are available for a $5 donation. Since masks are the latest fashion trend, come check out what we have to offer to “color coordinate” or to have an extra on hand.

Although many of the local resorts and shops in the village at the time were run by women, they prohibited women from joining the EPPIA. The men thought they were better at making civic decisions than raising funds for town projects. They allowed Eleanor to establish a Woman’s Auxiliary. The women were exceptionally good at fundraising and when the EPPIA rudely rejected the ideas of how to spend the money raised by the Auxiliary, Eleanor chose to By: Estes Park Women’s Club A truly extraordinary woman of Estes keep the money and used it to found the Estes Park Woman’s Club in 1911.

1912-2004 Mrs. Miller was owner of Miller Curio and Indian Village from 1935 to 2004. She was born in Denver and graduated from DU. Charlotte and her husband, Charlie, started their first business on West Elkhorn, across from the Taffy Shop. She instituted innovative business practices by hiring a silversmith to work in the front window and bringing Navajo dancers to perform several shows a day during tourist season, which was from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Millers would pack their remaining inventory after Labor Day and go to Tucson to run businesses in AZ during the winter. Charlie and Charlotte bought a lot on Big Horn Dr. and built a family home. Mrs. Miller always walked to and from work, even at the age of 90. While running successful businesses was her life’s work, she also enjoyed classical music, opera, reading, lectures and raising her family of three children, all of whom worked at the stores. Her youngest daughter, Toni, continues as owner of the Indian Village. Toni appreciates former employees and customers who stop in to share a memory about this remarkable woman.

Fannye Robinson was born in 1925 on a farm in Balmorhea, Texas. After graduating from high school, Fannye moved
to Wickenburg, Arizona. There she worked in her aunt’s western wear store. While in Wickenburg she met William (Bill) Robinson, a Colorado native, who would become her husband. They soon made Colorado their home. Fannye was a pioneer woman in the Estes Valley livery business. From 19531959, the Robinsons operated the livery at Fall River Lodge. They operated the livery at Steads Ranch located in Moraine Park from 1960 to 1962. Fannye managed Steads Western Wear shop in addition to the livery demands. In 1963 they moved their horses to the YMCA of the Rockies and re-located the livery to the present location, now named Jackson Stables. Fannye was an equal partner with her husband putting her heart and soul into every step from care of the horses to cooking at breakfast rides. Many of their riders (guests) became life-long friends. In the winter months Fannye designed and sewed all their western wear. As a team they expanded the YMCA Livery to accommodate the growing demand. They retired in 1978. The striking twinkle in her eyes was always there until her death in 2000.

Aislinn Kottwitz Asking For Your Support For Larimer County Commissioner To The Editor: We began this journey last summer with a parade of smiling faces, excitement, shaking hands, hugs, discussions and energy. So many new faces, so much pride in our county, our beautiful state, and our country. HOPE. Who would have predicted what we would encounter down the road? Election years bring together fellow citizens, people who care about where they live, question the future and understand the power of the vote, their voice, their community. People who love their families, embrace their friends and neighbors and are in awe of this beautiful place we are privileged to call home. YOU. Adversity has shown us what is truly “essential” in our own lives. A pandemic and social unrest has tested our will and resolve and showed that humanity leans towards helping our neighbors, strangers, and ourselves. It showed that
we are fighters in Larimer County, we are survivors, and most of all, we have heart. Divisiveness. Them versus Us. You versus Me. More than ever we need to work together to rebuild, reignite and restore all that is good in Larimer County. Grit, discipline, and self-reliance equates to a society that will not only survive; it will thrive. Let’s thrive together. Ballots will be reaching your homes this week. Times like this, we need people to step up and participate, to vote and have their voices heard. VOTE. I’m humbly asking you to cast your vote for me. I encourage you to visit AislinnforLarimer.com. You will find out more about me and my list of endorsements, including Sheriff Justin Smith, Bob Schaffer, and more. Be well, my friends! Aislinn Kottwitz Candidate for Larimer County Commissioner, District 3
Crossroads Is Grateful We are in awe of the generosity of our supporters who have been so faithful to give during this challenging season in our nation’s history. I am happy to say, the giving has kept up with the demand for groceries, rent payments, utility assistance, medical bills, and help with transportation. We have never turned anyone away due to a lack of resources. We are truly grateful to God who has provided everything we need to fulfill our mission. It’s amazing how many people are donating a portion of their stimulus check to Crossroads knowing that it will provide necessary resources for individuals and families who are struggling to keep their families fed and housed. A few weeks ago I received a call from a lady who donated half of her stimulus check to Crossroads and asked if we could drop by her house to pick up the check. Of course, we scheduled a time to collect the donation and it worked out that she lives close to our Community Engagement Manager, Tim Van Ryn, so he dropped by her place on the way home. When he walked up to her door she thanked him for coming by for the check, because after retiring a few years ago she no longer makes enough money to have a car so she relies on Via Mobility to take her places. Tim talked with her a little more and then returned to his
car. As he was driving away he reflected on her generous spirit. Here is a lady who can’t afford very much in her own life, but in spite of this she wanted to make sure others had enough to get through this difficult season. Her heart is definitely in the right place and we are grateful to receive her gift knowing that it will be reinvested in feeding the hungry people she is so concerned about. We are still experiencing a slowdown in the amount of people who are coming to us for assistance, so we are encouraged in the assumption that some of them are getting more hours at their place of employment which is affording them a sense of dignity to make money and take care of their family without asking for help from anyone. It’s a great feeling when you can shop at Safeway for your groceries and write checks from your bank account for basic necessities knowing there is sufficient funds to cover each one of them. Our desire is that all our clients will reach their highest level of self-sufficiency, and if needed, we will be there for them during the times in life when what they have isn’t enough to “make ends meet”. Practicing Christian love by providing basic human services to Estes Valley residents in need is why we exist. It’s our mission!

Vivianne M. Watson Vivianne M. Watson passed away peacefully June 9, 2020 at Good Samaritan Assisted Living in Estes Park, Colorado. She was born Vivianne Maureen Bowsher to Guy A. Bowsher and Elah (Thomson) Bowsher in Terre-Haute, Indiana on August 10, 1925. Vivianne was in her mid-teens when her father died tragically in a boating accident,she and her mother then moved west to Allenspark, Colorado. Vivianne had just graduated from high school when, through a chance meeting at a local gas station, she met the love of her life, William E. Watson. They married in 1944 and settled in Estes Park, Colorado where Bill and his father, George, had an ice, coal, and wood business. Bill and Vivianne had four children and then in 1952, they started their own freight business, Watson Truck Line. Together they built Mary's Lake Campground in the 70s and ran it during the summer months for many years, and then later built Alpine Self Storage. Vivianne's many interests included travel, camping, fishing, bridge club, and she also loved animals. She and Bill owned horses and she was a good rider. She loved her dogs and, adopted several Himalayan cats over the years. Her pets always lived to a ripe old age under her care. She was a tireless supporter of her children's interests too. She spent many summer days at the rodeos with her daughters and during the fall and winter drove to the different schools along the front range to watch her boys play high school football and other sports. She was an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching many different sports but especially football. They both loved travel and were members of Ports of Call. It was an exciting way to travel and they loved va-
cationing on different Caribbean islands and visited many, if not all, over the years. Their love of warm weather and sunshine naturally took them to Arizona so they started wintering in Bullhead City, AZ, a town across the Colorado River from Laughlin, NV, in the 80s. One of her favorite pastimes while traveling, or actually anytime, was playing games. She was very skillful at bridge, poker, blackjack, hearts, you name it! And, was also a whiz at board games. One family game in particular called "Marbles" was her favorite. She and Bill hosted many Christmases with their family and close friends at their townhouse on the beach in Puerto Penasco, aka Rocky Point, a fishing village on the Sea of Cortez. She also loved to plan mystery trips for her family in her later years. It was always a relaxing trip to a beautiful tropical (undisclosed until you were on the plane) location. Vivianne is survived by her four children: Bonnie Watson of Estes Park, William Jr. (Donna )Watson of Buena Vista, CO, James(Deborah)Watson of Estes Park, and Elah (Steven)Bethel of Loveland. She was blessed with 16 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her father, Guy Bowsher, her mother, Elah O'Brien, and her husband of 74 years, William E. Watson, Sr. She was laid to rest next to her husband at Estes Valley Memorial Gardens on June 12, 2020 and a celebration of life for both is planned at a later to be determined date. Because of her love of animals, her family suggests that, in lieu of flowers, a donation might be made in her memory to the Estes Park Pet Association.
