Newborn Elk Calf

Richard Hahn was lucky to have this cow elk give birth near his home.

Richard said, “The momma elk came in to nurse the wapiti calf on Sunday, June 5 at 12:26 p.m. It was a pastoral scene. I took these two images from the safety of my deck.�

ESTES PARK NEWS

Last weekend, Jordan and I made a quick trip to Steamboat Springs for the purpose of running the town’s annual half marathon. When we planned this trip last year, it was fairly soon after completing the Colfax full marathon. In other words, we were in great running shape, 13.1 miles seemed like a piece of cake compared to 26.2, but we still considered it an excellent motivator for sticking to a winter training plan.

Fast forward to the beginning of June: we spent our winter doing the occasional snowshoe but mostly participated in our favorite cold weather activity of visiting Colorado craft breweries. We realized in May that the race was approaching, so we ran a few times and went on a handful of hikes. In no way were we properly trained for a half marathon, but the entry fee was paid and the hotel already booked. We left early Saturday morning, heading over Trail Ridge Road on our way to Steamboat.

Once we arrived and picked up our race bibs, we went out for tacos and (what else?) local craft beer, then met up with some friends who were also in town for the race. We talked about our game plans for the next day – some people were racing for personal records, some were racing just to finish. We counted ourselves in the latter group (although I have to say, Jordan is one of the blessed few who can run any distance no matter his physical shape, and usually with a respectable time). I shared that I was picturing the race as a long Sunday morning hike – I knew that I could tramp 13.1 miles through Rocky Mountain National Park, and this course was (mostly downhill) along the mountain ridge and the river. It was a mental game and if I tricked myself well enough, it would be no problem. Right?

Sunday morning we were up early to catch the shuttle to the start. We were surprisingly not nervous (one of the perks of not having big expectations, I guess!) and instead were just excited to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery.

Miles one through six went smoothly, miles seven and eight had some rolling hills that weren’t easy, and at mile eight I sent Jordan and his long legs ahead to finish at his own pace. I spent the last five reflecting on my mental state in past races. Historically, I have often ended up in a place of insecurity and fear midway through the mileage. Even after a hard and dedicated training cycle I’ve questioned my ability and my body’s capability, to the point of telling myself that I can’t finish and am going to quit. This race was different. From the first step, I was grateful to have a body that would let me enjoy so much time outside. I was thankful for an opportunity to spend my Sunday morning moving and breathing and sweating and feeling. I was appreciative of what I could do, and treated myself kindly for it.

While I would not recommend running any sort of race without training – I am very sore this week and lucky that I did not injure myself – this half will hold a special spot in my heart. So often we are unkind to and hard on ourselves, and do not see the great feats we are capable of achieving. I have legs and feet that will carry me into the mountains, arms and hands that will give hugs of encouragement and congratulations at the finish line. No matter how fast or slow it runs in a race, I am pretty happy with it!

Kirby Hazelton and her husband Jordan live in Estes Park with their dog Harley.

They love hiking, craft beer, and finding all the magic Estes Park has to offer.

Now that the weather has turned and we can actually get out to stretch out winter legs on the trails (after we spend a couple of days replacing the plants we lost in the hail storm), we have more time to thunk. Here are some posers to get you started: • Why do we "put your two cents in" but only get a "penny for your thoughts"?

Where does that extra penny go? [It is estimated that half of the 13 billion pennies produced a year drop out of circulation within a year. Look in penny jars, car ashtrays and in miscellaneous catchall containers on top of dressers. That’s where they are.]

[While we’re on the subject, did you know it is against the law to transport more than five dollars in pennies out of the country?]

• How important does a person have to be before he is considered assassinated instead of just murdered? [My guess: The more pennies in his possession, the more likely it was assassination.]

• Why does a round pizza come in a square box? [Come to think of it, why isn’t pizza square?]

• If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

• What disease did cured ham actually have? [Oh, I know the answer to that one. Lung disease—from too much smoking.]

• How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

• If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

• Why are you in a movie, but you're on TV? [Prepositions are a huge challenge for those learning English as a second language. There is neither rhyme nor reason for which we use when. For example, we say, “He is interested in pennies.” We don’t we say, “He is interested about pennies,” or “He is interested of pennies,” yet each should mean the same thing: pennies are a big deal to this guy.

Perhaps he is an assassin.]

Summer PEO Meetings All summer PEO visitors are welcome to attend the Estes Park group meetings.

Our first meeting will be a breakfast on Friday, June 10th at 9 a.m. at the Other

• Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

• Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

• Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? [Note: these binoculars do not take pennies. Leave ‘em home in the penny jar.]

• Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp?

• Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

• If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

• Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog’s face he gets mad at you but when you take him for a car ride he sticks his head out the window? [A friend explained to me that all of those smells a dog sniffs from the car are like the heavenly aromas of coffee and fresh-baked bread to us. It doesn’t matter if it’s catching a whiff of week-old road kill on a 90-degree day, new odors are proboscis paradise to a dog.]

• If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME merchandise to use to catch the roadrunner, why didn't he just buy dinner?

• If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

• Once we're in heaven, do we get stuck wearing the clothes we were buried in for eternity? [Dress me up if you want, but please let me wear my slippers.]

Now you are equipped with several ideas to help get the thunking started while on the trail. If, by chance, you find a penny out there, be sure to pick it up. Good luck, saved and earned, and all that, you know.

You may let The Thunker know what you think at her e-mail address, donoholdt@gmail.com. © 2016 Sarah Donohoe

Pet Association Yard Sale Thank You The results of the yard sale to benefit the Pet Association of Estes Park can be summed up in one word – WOW!

The 1916 Republican convention was a contested convention, with Charles Evans Hughes taking the nomination on the third ballot, cast June 10. Holders of ticket like these witnessed the final roll call and wild celebration that followed.

EP Archives Meeting Celebrates The Hughes 100th Anniversary Exactly 100 years ago today, at 11:31 a.m. local time, the Republican party, meeting in Chicago, selected former New York governor and sitting Supreme Court justice Charles Evans Hughes as their presidential candidate.

Hughes was a compromise, an outsider intended to heal the division between Taft Republicans and progressives, who had peeled away in 1912 to support Teddy Roosevelt's "Bull Moose" run. Indeed, a separate Progressive party convention was being held in Chicago in June 1916 at the same time Hughes was nominated by the Republicans, but when Roosevelt refused to accept the Progressive party nomination and instead endorsed Hughes, the Republicans were effectively united once more, and their choice of Hughes legitimized.

None of this is critically important to Estes Park today, and yet all of it is, because when Charles Evans Hughes began campaigning in earnest in July 1916, Estes Park (and a very young Rocky Mountain National Park) was penciled in as a place for the candidate and his family to take a five-day break from the rigors of stump speeches and constant press coverage.

This August, the Estes Park Archives will commemorate the week-long visit of the Charles Evans Hughes family to northern Colorado with a series of programs and public events, most of which

will be held in Estes Park or a short drive from Estes Park. Both descendants of Charles Evans Hughes and Hughes scholars from across the country have been invited to attend, and many have already sent back letters of acceptance and booked their flights.

Join the Estes Park Archives this Saturday, June 11, between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. at the clubhouse at 840 Moraine for an introduction to Charles Evans Hughes and the Hughes 100th anniversary celebration planned for Estes Park July 29 through August 5.

This will be an informal “drop-in” program, with displays of Hughes memorabilia, press clippings, and video from a 2011 Hughes documentary broadcast on CSPAN, as well as the planned itinerary and reservation sheets for tickets to the August panel discussions. Opportunities exist for interested organizations, individual summer residents, or folks who have never attended an Estes Park Archives program to get involved with transportation of dignitaries, hosting of already-scheduled events and brainstorming of potential additional activities, so don't be shy. All of the programs held in Estes Park will be free and open to the public, but some will have limited seating availability. Please stop by tomorrow afternoon at 840 Moraine, or visit the Archives website or call 970-5864889 for more details.

As the Saturday, June 25 Rotary Golf Tournament nears, the volunteers who make it happen are signing up golfers, rounding up prizes and gathering sponsorships.

This will help the club reach its goal of $24,000 for three academic scholarships.

Residents and summer visitors are invited to join the Estes Park tennis community. We play at the courts in Stanley Park, near the high school. Men’s and women’s doubles on weekday mornings – mixed doubles on Sunday evenings,

A. We would like to see 80 golfers registered. We’re not there yet, but we are optimistic about registrations arriving in the next two weeks.

Q. Is it too late to register?

A. It is definitely not too late to register.

Registration forms are available at the 18-hole golf course or at rotaryclubofestespark.org.

Q. Will you be playing in the tournament?

Q. Would you like to recognize the 2016 sponsors?

A. The success of this event rests on many factors, but our sponsors are a key component. As of this week, our major sponsors are The Stanley Hotel (scholarship), University of Colorado Health (Gold Sponsor), Bank of Colorado, (Drink Cart), and Jay Harroff/Prudential Realty, Ron and Vivian Gordon, Safeway, The Egg & I and Lanty McCartney/GreatGolf-OnlyBetter.com (Silver Sponsors).

Spread Your Wings For Bird Conservation At Rocky Mountain National Park Scott Rashid

“Spread Your Wings for Bird Conservation” is the theme for this year’s International Migratory Bird Day. On Saturday, June 11, celebrate birds during two special events. In the morning, go on a bird walk in Rocky Mountain National Park!

Join us to learn more about migratory birds while exploring the park with experienced bird watchers. The event will begin at 8 a.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. After a short introduction, visitors and bird walk leaders will caravan into the park to view birds in a variety of habitats. The activity is free of charge, but park entrance fees will apply.

This guided walk will have naturalists and expert birders help beginners identify birds; all ages and abilities are welcomed. Bring warm clothes, water, good walking shoes, binoculars and a snack.

The event will end at noon, but visitors are encouraged to continue their birding adventures throughout the day.

The second event will be held at 7 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center with a special guest speaker from Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute (CARRI). Scott Rashid, CARRI director, will share the importance of research to understand enough about a bird species to make beneficial management decisions about it. Through Scott’s foundation, he researches various species of wild birds. His primary interest is researching owls including Northern Pygmy-Owls, Northern Saw-whet Owls, Boreal Owls, Flammulated Owls

and Great Horned Owls, along with Northern Goshawks. He also runs three permanent bird banding stations, educating the public about bird banding.

With the assistance of volunteers he has captured over 9,000 birds of 88 different species. He rehabilitates injured birds, including hawks, owls, falcons, various songbirds including ravens magpies, jays, thrushes and even hummingbirds.

Scott has also written three books: "Small Mountain Owls," "The Great Horned Owl, an in-depth Study", and the recently published “Northern Goshawk, the Gray Ghost.”

In 2016, International Migratory Bird Day will focus on how birds have inspired many of the most significant environmental conservation actions in the Americas. Citizens in every country have the capacity to support programs and laws that protect birds and their habitats, including a landmark treaty that, for the last century, has protected nearly all migratory bird species in the U.S. and Canada ~ the Migratory Bird Treaty.

Rocky Mountain National Park is proud to celebrate International Migratory Bird Day each year to connect people to nature through birds, and to help people understand the importance of bird conservation. For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Bobbe Palmer Publishes Book Of Short Stories-Book Signing Event June 14 Good Samaritan Society – Estes Park Village resident, Bobbe Palmer has published a book of short stories. Her book titled, Can This Be Home? was released in May 2016.

Bobbe was born in Denver, Colorado. She attended Grinnell College in Iowa and later received her degree from the University of Denver majoring in English. She taught English at the Junior High School in Norton, Kansas. Bobbe married Bob Palmer, a Presbyterian minister, and they soon moved to Wyoming where she assisted him in his service.

They were then called to Alaska for mission work and lived there for 23 years. Bobbe moved with her husband Bob from Juneau, Alaska to Good Sams in November 2005. She has five children located in Alaska, California, Colorado and Wyoming.

Since moving to GSS-EPV Bobbe participated in a watercolor class that was offered through a GSS Senior College program. Soon after, Bobbe and several other residents formed a group that would get together once a week to paint, socialize and encourage one another.

Bobbe’s artwork is now shown on the Activity Kiosk from time to time along with other resident artists’ works.

Bobbe put down her paint brush, temporarily, and picked up her pen.

She has written five short stories and compiled them into a book which has now been published.

From the dust jacket: In a compelling collection of stories, Bobbe Palmer shines a light on five women of different ages and circumstances as each faces unique challenges.

Can This Be Home? is a compilation of tales that offer powerful descriptions, tormented characters and heartbreak as five women bravely confront their trials.

Carey Stevanus, Activities and Wellness Manager of GSS-EPV has had a chance to read Bobbe’s book. “I knew Bobbe was an artist, but I had no idea she was a writer. After reading her book I can honestly say she is a literary artist as well. Bobbe paints a picture with her words. The stories are so detailed that you feel like you are right there in the story.”

GSS-EPV will be hosting a book launch of Can This Be Home? on Tuesday, June 14th at 3:00 p.m. in the Main Dining Room at 1901 Ptarmigan Trail. There will be a reading of one of Bobbe’s stories, followed by a book signing.

Look For The Butterfly The petition drive for the creation of the Larimer County Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) is underway. After a bumpy start due to a printer’s error, the new petitions are here and available for signature. Look for the blue butterfly over the orange SCFD logo at the Farmers’ Market, in front of the library, the post office, at special events at Performance Park and elsewhere.

The Larimer County Scientific and Cultural Facilities District would be funded by a new one-tenth of one percent sales tax (one penny on a $10 purchase) and is modeled on the very successful Denver SCFD which has been in place since 1988. These public dollars would create a sustainable, consistent source of funds for Natural Science, Natural History, Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Cultural History. The biggest difference between the Denver SCFD and the proposed Larimer County SCFD is the way in which the money would be allocated. In the Larimer County proposal, two funds would be created: a Sustainability

WE HAVE YOUR INSURANCE !

Fund from which all eligible organizations, regardless of size, would receive a predetermined percentage of their qualifying revenue – equal to all others. To assure parity there would be minimum and maximum caps imposed, and an Innovation Fund to be awarded based upon competitive grants addressing innovation, collaboration and regional initiatives. Locally, the Estes Park Museum, Observatory, Art Center, Cultural Arts Council, Fine Arts Guild, Repertoire Theater, Oratorio Society, Music Festival and Rocky Mountain Conservancy could all be eligible to receive funds.

A lot of signatures were collected prior to May 20, when it was discovered that the printer had inadvertently left a page out of the petition packet, making them invalid. Anyone who signed a petition prior to May 20th at the museum, school, non-profit conference at the Stanley, or the Band Concert at the high school are encouraged to re-sign one of the new petitions. ”It will not be a duplication, “said Kathy Littlejohn.

Anyone who supports this effort and would like to help collect signatures can call Kathy at 970-218-6005.

Hearing loss is a tricky problem.

Is my wife or husband mumbling? If people would just look at me I can hear! No, I heard what you said…. I don’t know where you came up with that one!

One of the most common types of hearing loss is a high frequency loss. With this hearing loss, the person hears normally in the low frequencies but misses the higher pitched speech sounds that provide word clarity. Sometimes everything said is heard perfectly. And sometimes, depending on the word frequency, parts of the sentence are missed. This is frustrating for the listener and for the person talking. Often the hearing impaired person is accused of not paying attention! When in reality, key words in the sentence were missed and the message had no meaning. Responding with “huh” or “what” only leads to a rapid fire repeat of the same sentence that was just spoken, with complete irritation. Unfortunately, the repeat still has the same words that cannot be heard! Saying “huh” or “what” again will only lead to “never

mind”…..so smiling and shaking the head in agreement appears to be the best response to maintain a happy home.

The most common speech sounds that are missed with this type of hearing loss are: s, th, t, ch, sh, p, k. The sound of “s” is the most common sound in the English language.

A good morning greeting of: “The sky is clear today”. May be heard as -----today. The key words “sky and clear” are missed. So take the word you heard “today” and form it into a question.

“What was that about today?” The speaker will relax because you were “listening.” They will have a conversation with you and use new words- “It’s beautiful outside, don’t you think?” Now you have new key words (beautiful and outside) to listen to and can respond intelligently…. Yes, the sky is clear, dear…… ..

A happy home is a special place to be.

These are all locations where YMCAs and national monuments, federal lands or national parks are within close proximity.

Each of the elements, Play, Learn, Serve, Work provide the opportunity for day campers to interact with nature and RMNP rangers and volunteers. Campers learn about environmental education, fire mitigation, local vegetation and wildlife in lessons that are age appropriate. Older campers (5th-8th graders) will have the opportunity to perform a halfday service project in RMNP. Projects will include trail maintenance, restoring water bars, exotic species removal, litter pick up and a variety of other projects.

Younger campers will also have the opportunity to complete shorter age-appropriate service projects.

At the end of the week, each camper that has completed the Play, Learn, Serve

Work components will earn their Junior Ranger badge.

Rich Fedorchak, Chief of Interpretation and Education for RMNP says, “This program is a great catalyst for getting the YMCA and the Park together. So many things we do are similar, from our history to our visions of ‘stewardship.’ This is a very complimentary program for building community.” He also hopes that in the future some of these young campers might consider careers as park rangers.

Several years ago, members of the leadership team and program department at the YMCA read and discussed, “The Last Child in the Woods,” by Richard Louv. It reinforced the commitment the Y has always had to providing opportunities for YMCA day campers to spend time outside, unplugged from daily life, and experiencing the natural world that surrounds them.

Courtney Danis, Day Camp Director for the YMCA says, “The Play, Learn, Serve, Work partnership is important for our campers because in addition to learning about the mountains in an enriched environment, they are able to give back as well.”

Openings are still available in the YMCA’s day camp program and parents can learn more by visiting www.ymcarockies.org or calling 970-586-3341 and asking for the Day Camp Registrar.

Scholarships are available for those in need thanks to the YMCA’s generous members and donors.

THINK â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MAYBE SOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MAYBE NOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I love the story of many years ago that told of a Chinese farmer that seemed to have varying degrees of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fortuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; during a short period of time. The farmer was rather poor so everything he had was deemed precious to him. One morning he awoke to discover that his only horse had escaped from the corral and was nowhere to be found. His neighbors became aware of his loss and came to offer their sympathies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So sad, so sad!â&#x20AC;? they said. The old man appreciated their sympathy, but he simply bowed his head and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe so, maybe no, we will just have to wait and see.â&#x20AC;? They left the corral gate open, hoping that perhaps the horse would return. Sure enough, a couple of days later he returned, followed by a sizable herd of mustangs. They entered the corral and the gate was shut. The neighbors came running at the good news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, so good. So good!â&#x20AC;? they said. The old man bowed his head and said, simply, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe so, maybe no. We will wait and see.â&#x20AC;? All went well for a few days until his only son was thrown from one of the mustangs he was trying to break and suffered a broken leg. Here came the neighbors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, so bad, so bad!â&#x20AC;? they offered. The old man bowed his head, as usual, and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe so, maybe no!â&#x20AC;? and thanked them for their concern. A short time later, the emperor declared war and every able-bodied young man was forced to go off to war, some never to return. The young man, because of his injury was exempted and was safe.

You get the picture. We all experience many things in our lives. Some of them seem so troublesome and bad, only to prove to be blessings in the long run. One man tells of his fourteenyear-old son, Ryan, who was having a tough time at school, socially and academically. Just when he thought things couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any worse, Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only really good friend announced that he was moving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it,â&#x20AC;? the father thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this will be the final straw that breaks my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart and back.â&#x20AC;? However, you can probably guess the rest of the story. As it turned out, Ryan and his friend, besides being good buddies were actually holding each other back. Because of their friendship they were not reaching out to others socially, which changed once his friend moved.

His grades had suffered while they were together and spent so much time in their duo-activities.

Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grades improved markedly once his friend was no longer in the picture. His happiness and growth improved tremendously after his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. What appeared to be tragic turned out to be nothing more than a very necessary â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;speed bumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

There is something very powerful and encouraging about being willing to stay open to possibilities and recognizing that, in reality, we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what is going to happen. We can guess, assume and predict, but we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. The Bible has this promise for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All things work together for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.â&#x20AC;?

Some of those â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;all thingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will be very unpleasant experiences, but somehow, God is able to weave them into good things for His people. In addition, we are so limited in knowing what is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for us and ours. Perhaps you can recall a Garth Brookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s song: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest gift is an unanswered prayer!â&#x20AC;?

We are blessed that Someone greater and wiser knows what is best for us.

Newborn Safety And Security Paramount For EPMC Although infant abduction rates are statistically small, protecting newborns from the threat of kidnapping is a high priority in all well-run hospitals and birthing centers. The New Life Center at Estes Park Medical Center is no different, where enhancing existing newborn security is a priority for 2016. In support of this effort, the EPMC Foundation has begun a campaign to raise $125,000 for a state-of-theart infant security protection system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even one infant abduction is too many.

It would be devastating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the family, our caregivers and staff, and the entire community,â&#x20AC;? said Deb Green, lead nurse in the New Life Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protecting newborns and providing parents with peace of mind is extremely important.â&#x20AC;?

The number of births each year in the New Life Center has been increasing. In 2015, there were 94 babies welcomed into the world at EPMC, compared to 76 births in 2014. This growing need in our community deserves the quality of care and a level of security that rivals the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest birthing centers.

The Joint Commission, which accredits and certifies U.S. health care organiza-

tions and programs, recommends several layers of infant abduction prevention, including the use of infant security systems. Systems like the one to be installed at EPMC, employ the latest technology to secure designated areas. Any unauthorized attempt to leave a monitored area triggers an alarm and activates door locks to prevent exiting.

These systems, along with other safety protocols, let new parents and staff focus worry-free on caring for the newborn and the joys of family life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure parents, grandparents and residents of the Estes Valley understand the importance of providing this type of security for patients and newborns,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Mullin, EPMC Foundation Executive Director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to partnering with them to ensure that EPMC continues to provide the best medical care possible.â&#x20AC;?

If you would like to find out more about contributing to this project, contact Kevin Mullin at 970-577-4306 or kmullin@epmedcenter.com. You can also visit The Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at GivetoEPMC.org.

One Man In His Time My earliest memory is the scene of two fouryear old blond-haired cherubs (twin brother Ross and I were cute and had hair, once) leaping joyfully into my father’s arms in August 1945 after he stepped down from a Shortline bus onto Route 32 in Central Valley, New York. He was home from the war at last; we were in heaven as he dropped his big army duffel and showered us in tears of joy. Robert James Burkhardt was born in Chicago 100 years ago today, June 10, 1916. He passed away on December 30, 1999. This column is for him and all dads whose families celebrate Father’s Day next week.

Dad’s life spanned forty percent of the Republic and was shaped by much significant, if sad, history. An uncle died in Andersonville prison during the Civil War. His mother died when he was ten months old. His first stepmother died when he was four. His second stepmother left, and another stepmother divorced his father.

He recalled moving frequently, staying with aunts, uncles and grandparents.

Asked about his childhood he remarked, “What was impressive was the fact that I survived it.” I believe his intense love for family was fueled by a need to afford his wife and children a better hand than life dealt him.

He entered Purdue when money was scarce and parental advice from his civil engineer father was clear: flunk a course

and you’re out. He did, and was. My grandfather offered guidance to his errant son: “I don’t care how much you tomcat around at night; be on the job first thing in the morning.” Pop’s comment: “And he made sure I was, earning twentyfive cents an hour pushing concrete buggies up a ramp.” This led to a labor crew constructing the baths in Saratoga Springs, New York, where on Easter Sunday in 1935 a friend arranged a blind date with a looker from Central Valley: Lucille Frances Hogan. They were married in 1936 on Mom’s birthday, December 29, and were joined two and one-half years later by my older sister Robin, then Ross and me, then Valerie in 1942.

After the war Dad worked in a foundry, but second to family his other love was politics (particularly FDR and the New Deal). Elections were a powerful tonic for him, and my mother loved to tell the mid-fifties story of how Dad, supine in gruesome agony from some fell virus, rose like Lazarus as he listened to November news of Ed Muskie’s becoming the first Democratic governor of Maine in decades. Pop’s work ethic helped him rise in the Democratic party; he helped elect governors, and he worked on presidential campaigns for Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson (twice), John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.

In summer 1967 President Johnson asked Pop to set up a meeting with Soviet premier Alexei Kosygin, who was speaking at the United Nations. Glassboro State

Teachers College was selected for the “secret summit” because it is exactly half way between New York City and the District of Columbia. Some months later Johnson asked Dad to discreetly assess the level of LBJ support in several key states. Johnson had a tendency to swiftly shoot bearers of bad tidings, and I marvel at the thought of my father going into the oval office and saying flat out to the President of the United State, “You can’t win.”

Less than a month later Johnson withdrew from the campaign.

But if he was a witness to and a creator of history, our family remembers him best for his very human, non-public side.

We kids learned early not to be impressed by fawning politicians telling us how great our father was; we knew many of them were after political favors. We listened instead to secretaries, elevator operators, doormen, restaurant help, parking lot attendants and others who had nothing to gain from their honest affection for Pop. He was great, but for reasons that cut closer to home and made more sense to us.

He taught us values. My brother remembers the two of us, age eight, in tears, straining to push a heavy lawnmower with metal wheels uphill through thick, slick grass on a rainy day when we conveniently forgot to do our chores. Or the time we let the furnace go out because we neglected to shovel enough coal and later found ourselves huddling in the cold cellar trying to light up chunks of anthracite.

These early lessons about responsibility were part of Pop’s legacy. We learned.

My mother coined many nicknames: Pop-pop (which his grandchildren quickly changed to Poop-pop); Old Soggy (Mom said he would cry at the opening of a K-Mart); The Old Gentleman (I believe this started around his fortieth birthday); Ralph J. Binkhart (this derived from a Fourth Estate tendency to spell his name in any of sixteen varieties when news was good, but always getting

his name, address and home telephone number correct and in big print when news was bad); Sir Gallonhead (when he erred, which by his count was not often); Sir Lurch-A-Lot (Pop’s Parkinson’s led him to careen off bedroom walls in his later years); and others.

The numerous sobriquets occasionally served a purpose. When Mom and Dad wintered in the Florida Keys he was obliged to develop multiple aliases in order to win the morning quiz on WFFG (“World’s Finest Fishing Grounds”): whether it was a pizza, a six-pack of soda or some other marvelous prize, Pop was ready each morning at 7:35 to dial and win. After months of R. Burkhardt, Bob Burkhardt, Robert Burkhardt, R. James Burkhardt, R.J. Burkhardt, Ralph Binkhart and R. Blinkhard, WFFG got suspicious and wouldn’t let him compete.

This is when family pets came in handy: morning quiz winners in subsequent weeks included Chicken Little Burkhardt, Cozy Burkhardt, Rodi Burkhardt, Bozo Burkhardt (many thought this was me), and more. WFFG officials were not amused.

That he managed to send four kids through college continues to amaze me.

To celebrate my mother’s fortieth reunion at Skidmore he created a scholarship in her name that continues to grow. His four children continue to hear new stories from old friends about how PopPop helped them at a critical time in their lives. As he said at his seventieth birthday party, “Love, I believe, is the most important word in the English language.”

Celebrate your father and all dads you know not just on June 19 but all year long. Honor the sacrifices they have made for you and your family. Love and cherish them as they do you.

Honor Flight - One Last Mission

Summer Birding By: Jo Wurst, Field Institute Assistant

A hike through the grandeur of Rocky Mountain National Park can overload the senses: vibrant blooms, chilly breezes, and quavering bird songs. Birds are an intricate part of life in Rocky.

While often overlooked, their diversity is astonishing. Once you have the skills to identify them, only more can be found.

This summer, join the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute as we look for these feathered beings in Summer Birding with a Naturalist. This course will occur on the following dates: June 9th, June 16th, June 30th, July 7th, and July 14th. Participants will be in the field, learning to identify by sight and song.

The morning of each class will be spent discussing migration and nesting behavior, and the ecology and conservation of bird habitat in Estes and Rocky.

The instructor for this course is Jeff Maugans. Jeff worked as a park naturalist from 1977 to 2009. Originally from Pennsylvania, he earned a degree in outdoor education and natural science from Pennsylvania University. Throughout his experiences working in National Parks around the United States, his passion for birds blossomed. He arrived in Rocky Mountain National Park in 1990.

For more information or to register, please call the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute at (970)586-3262 or visit us online at www.rmconservancy.org.

The Estes Park Honor Flight Committee is a group of dedicated men and women who volunteer their time to raise funds to fly WWII, Korean, Vietnam and any Purple Heart veteran to Washington, DC at no expense to the veteran. The funds we raise go to support veterans from Estes Park and the surrounding area.

Honor Flight Northern Colorado was established in 2008 and Estes Park Honor Flight in 2011. While in Washington, DC they visit the WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Air Force and Iwo Jima memorials that were built in their honor. At the Iwo Jima Memorial a group photo is taken and presented to each veteran at a later date when they are invited to a BBQ picnic.

There are two flights a year, one in May and one in September, that depart from DIA on a Sunday returning Monday evening. Each flight is made up of approximately 120 veterans from Northern Colorado along with 60 - 65 guardians of which 12 to 15 are medical personal. Fifteen Estes Park citizens have gone on the Honor Flight as guardians. Each guardian pays for their own airfare and expenses and is assigned to two or three veterans based on medical needs. Special needs such as wheelchairs, oxygen and walkers are provided from the time they leave DIA until they return. After a special events ceremony attended by family members and friends at the Loveland Embassy Suites Hotel, the veterans are bussed to DIA. The four busses are escorted by county sheriffs, the state patrol and 50 - 70 motorcyclists from the Patriot Guard. On the trip to DIA, fire trucks and public supporters line overpasses and frontage roads cheering and waving the America Flag as the busses pass by. At the Signature Air terminal, in DIA and following a short ceremony, military personnel from Buckley Air Force base assist in the boarding process, sometimes carrying a veteran in a wheel chair up the steps and into the airplane.

Upon arrival in Baltimore the plane is greeted with a water cannon salute from fire engines that are stationed on the tarmac. As the veterans enter the terminal they are greeted with fanfare from National Honor Flight volunteers, airport personnel and the general public. Sunday evening a banquet is held in their

honor at the Baltimore Hilton Hotel with a keynote address from a military dignitary.

On Monday morning they board their busses and spend the day visiting each of the memorials. Later that afternoon they fly back to DIA. Upon returning to the Embassy Suites in Loveland, family members and friends welcome them back home.

Each veteran is then presented with a hand made quilt as a remembrance memento of their Honor Flight trip to Washington, DC. Through sponsorships and donations the citizens of Estes Park have paid the way for 70 veterans, from our area, to make this trip - a trip of a life time. The Estes Park Honor Flight committee continues to raise funds in support of our veterans who wish to go on the Honor Flight. Monetary donations can be made by making a check out to Community Foundation - Honor Flight and mailed to EP Honor Flight, P. O. Box 778 Estes Park, CO. 80517. Donations of $250.00 or more earns a distinction as an official sponsor.

The Estes Park Honor Flight committee will be showing an emotional seventy minute movie "Honor Flight - One Last Mission" at the Reel Mountain Theater on Sunday, July 3, at 12:30 with doors opening at noon. The movie is about veterans visiting the memorials along with clips from WWII battles both in the European and Pacific theaters. In the lobby of the theater, the Estes Park Honor Flight booth will be on display where movie goers can pick up free military items from any branch of the services - Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. An autographed book

by Estes Park author Walt Borneman, MacArthur At War, will be given away as a door prize. Thanks to Craig Conley, owner of the Reel Mountain Theater, the movie along with popcorn is free and we extend an invitation to the public to attend.

We invite you to make this part of your 4th of July weekend!

Voyager Montessori School Now Enrolling For 2016-2017 School Year Exciting news! There is a new option for first-third graders this fall, Lorin and Ryan Nevius are preparing to open Voyager Montessori School this August.

Founded in 2016, Voyager Montessori School is the Estes Valley's first and only alternative elementary school. Lorin and Ryan’s mission is to provide quality Montessori education in an environment which fosters a child's love of learning and a respect for self, others, the community, and the world. Voyager Montessori School uses scientifically-based philosophies to build an individualized curriculum for each child, based on their developmental needs.

About Lorin and Ryan Lorin Nevius-Co-Founder / Directress.

Lorin grew up in the small town of Wofford Heights, CA, in the southern tip of the Sierra Nevada mountains. She holds a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Liberal Studies (Elementary Education), a B.S. in Child Development, and a minor in Psychology from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. In addition to her university degrees, Lorin has earned her 3-6 Montessori teaching certification from Montessori World Educational Institute, a 6-12 AMI (Association Montessori International) certification from Fondazione Centre Internazionale di Studi Montessoriani in Italy, and a TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification from Language Corps.

Lorin's love for Montessori began dur-

ing her final years of college when she walked into a Montessori classroom for the first time. After one week in the classroom, she felt that she had found her true calling and has never looked back. Aside from education, Lorin has a passion for spending time with her family, recreating in the outdoors, and traveling.

Lorin said, “I’m so excited to open our new first through third grade school this fall. I’m excited to watch each child as they learn and see our students creating their own community and family collaborative. Unlike public school, the kids will get more individual curriculum and they will choose their own work. The kids set goals and we outline their learning. What order they choose to learn in, is up to the child.” Lorin checks in with each student each week to make sure all goals are being met. You can feel and see the excitement Lorin has about their new school as she talks about this new venture. “I’m so excited to inspire our students love of learning!”

Ryan Nevius-Co-Founder / Administrator. As someone who excelled in a public school setting as a child, Ryan admits that he initially met Montessori education with skepticism. However, once he stepped into a Montessori classroom, observed the children, and learned about the Montessori Method, he became fully convinced that Montessori provides a superior platform upon which children can develop academically, socially, and

Ryan holds a Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Business Administration from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He is excited to provide administrative support to Voyager Montessori School, and looks forward to watching your child grow with them.

Ryan stated, “Our school will be something that will be very positive for our community. We investigated a lot before deciding on opening a school in Estes Park and this is based on community needs. We’re excited to offer this to anyone who is seeking an alternative to public school.”

Lorin and Ryan have set up a Meet & Greet for anyone interested to learn

Thoughts on the LOOP To the Editor: I am writing to address the misunderstandings regarding the downtown Traffic Congestion Relief project, commonly known as the LOOP. The current misunderstandings have resulted in a division of the population and have contributed to the delay in the project from moving forward or cancelled. The project is designed to partially solve the problem of downtown traffic congestion that exists during much of the year. This congestion adds pollution to the air, loss of business revenue, declining tourism and frustration to residents and visitors alike.

Much of the misunderstanding centers on what the Traffic Congestion Relief project will do and not do. It is part of an ongoing series of improvements to the traffic pattern to facilitate access to Rocky Mountain National Park. It is not a silver bullet and will not cure all ills but instead contribute one piece of the puzzle. Other pieces include flood mitigation, shuttle busses, street widening, intersection remodeling, business relocation, and parking availability. The Traffic Congestion Relief project is a

starting piece. The other pieces are in the plans for the future.

As with any project, some people will be negatively or positively impacted.

Every effort has been made to reduce the negative impacts and maximize the positive impacts to the community.

The completion of the Traffic Congestion Relief project will allow greater traffic flow to and from the Park. Continuing access to the National Park is vital to the future of Estes Park. Without the National Park, Estes Park will slowly wither away and possibly die.

Currently, Estes Park is losing market share to other mountain communities.

Traffic congestion is the primary reason visitors say they will vacation elsewhere.

Without the Traffic Congestion Relief project, in concert with the other pieces of the puzzle, congestion will continue to worsen due to the population growth of the Front Range. Traffic congestion will continue to degrade our quality of life.

The Traffic Congestion Relief project is an essential first step to ensure the longterm growth and vitality of Estes Park.

Photo Editing With GIMP It’s time to learn how to touch-up your photos with GIMP. Join Tech Guide Diana Laughlin on Monday, June 13 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the library computer lab to learn more about GIMP, a free program that offers photo-editing tools.

GIMP is an application that allows you to crop, adjust colors, re-size, and add layers to your photos. You will also learn about transparency and opacity with digital photos. It is recommended that

prior to attending the class, each registrant scan a handful of their old photographs into digital files. This will give each attendee some actual photos to use with the software. You may schedule a ‘Book-a-Librarian: Tech Assistance’ before the class for help with this process.

‘Photo Editing with GIMP’ is an intermediate class and is taught on Mac computers. It is best for people who have intermediate file management skills.

Registration is required.

The Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation Annual Summer Book Sale held in August at the Rocky Mountain Park Inn Convention Center will be held on the following dates: -Friday, August 12, 2016 Preview Night for Friends & Foundation Members -Saturday, August 13, 2016 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

-Sunday, August 14, 2016 – 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

We’re solving this with revamped shelving—more at eye level, and tilted to make book spines easier to see. In the same redesign, these lowered shelves will yield a more open space, welcoming in more natural light.

In the process, we’ll begin interfiling Large Print titles within the fuller collection (still with their easy-to-find labels).

Large Print check-outs are declining— we believe it’s because readers don’t know about this tremendous resource.

Often there’s a waiting list for a regularprint title, while a Large Print copy goes undiscovered on the shelf.

Many readers say, “Large Print. Okay … I’ll give it a try.” Later they return the book, beaming, “Large Print, I love it!”

Give it a try yourself, and your eyes will thank you.

The first-floor redesign also delivers something currently in shortage: more seating and tables for study. And the concept will make it easier to modify space for special events: we’ve been hosting everything from fireside author visits to morning exercise programs—now we can re-invent our floor plan, then return it back with ease.

While making our physical spaces more comfortable and versatile, we’re making big improvements to our virtual space: our website. Look for a much user-friendlier website coming soon.

Mobile device users will especially relish this new functionality.

We’ll be stirring up a little dust this month, but it’s all to build a better library. We’re excited to make these improvements and design a library ready to serve you well into the future.

August Friends & Foundation Used Book Sale Date Correction ready a Friends & Foundation member, stop by the Estes Valley Library and purchase a membership for only $10 for an individual or $20 for a family. Friends & Foundation volunteers will also sell memberships at the door on Preview Night.

New to the 2016 book sale, book prices will include the Colorado State sales tax. What does this mean to our customers? Items that were previously $2 and under will be increased by 25 cents and items that are priced at $3 and above will increase by 50 cents. Children’s books and music CD’s will see no increase in their prices. The Sunday bag sale will now be $7 for each plastic Safeway shopping bag.

Our Wonderful World Travels To The ‘Ends Of The Earth’ With Stan Havlick Our Wonderful World is the Estes Valley Library’s armchair-travel series spotlighting extraordinary destinations from around the world! Join us on Monday, June 13 at 7 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse as we travel the Ends of the Earth with Stan Havlick.

For nearly half a century, Stan Havlick has lived in or traveled on all seven continents. A number of his world adventures and expeditions were to benefit the Colorado Cancer Foundation. In his presentation, Ends of the Earth, Stan will include photos and stories from Barrow, Alaska (the most northerly point of North America) to Ushuaia, Argentina (the most southerly point of South America). We will then travel to the North Cape of Norway (the most northerly point of Europe) and on to the Cape of Good Hope, the most southerly point of Africa). Other remote coastal destinations include Cuba and the Osa of Costa Rica (the most biologically intense place on earth), Iceland, Ireland, the South China Sea, Rio, Zanzibar, Antarctica, and the Great Australian Bight.

Stan will wrap up his program with a short film of his unique experience with the gorillas in the jungle of Uganda. We hope you are able to join us for this extraordinary evening. Stan will also devote a portion of his program to answering your questions about the wonderful world of travel.

This year’s programs will once again be held in the spacious Park Village Playhouse at the National Park Village located at 900 Moraine Avenue, next to the Other Side Restaurant. Each program begins at 7 p.m. and admission is free.

Summer Book Clubs For Kids Two book clubs are offered at Estes Valley Library for kids. Magic Treehouse: Balto of the Blue Dawn is for kids ages 6-8 and Maniac Magee is for 9-11 year olds. Registration is available online for the one time book club meeting.

Once registered, pick up your free book and packet at the library. Pick up your book now and read the story prior to the one time Book Club meeting. We will discuss the book while we eat a snack, do a craft or play a game.

The meeting for Magic Treehouse: Balto of the Blue Dawn is on Saturday, June 25 at 2 p.m. in the library’s Hondius Room. The magic tree house takes Jack and Annie back in time to Alaska, 1925.

There they meet Balto, a jet-black Siber-

ian husky destined to save victims of the diphtheria epidemic. But the trail isn’t easy, and Balto is going to need Jack and Annie’s help!

The meeting for Maniac Magee is on Saturday, July 9 at 2 p.m. in the library’s Hondius Room.

He wasn’t always known as Maniac Magee, but when his parents died and his life changed, so did his name. And Maniac Magee became a legend. Even today, kids talk about how fast he could run and how he hit an inside-the-park “frog” homer. But the thing Maniac Magee is best known for is what he did for the kids from the East End and for those from the West End. He was special all right, and this is his story.

July 4 “Coolest Car Show” Welcomes “Visitor From The Past”

[Through the windows of history, we’ve summoned Enos Mills to talk about one of Estes Park’s favorite summertime traditions. Here he is, in his own words…]

Thanks to the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, I am honored to be a special guest at the 18th Annual July

4th “Coolest Car Show.” And through the magic of time travel, I have accepted their invitation to this festive occasion.

While people remember Enos Mills as a champion of nature preservation—and as the chief advocate for the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park, lesser

Build Your Dream Home Welcome to Wonderview Village. Quality townhome waiting for you to customize.

3 floor plans to choose from w/ with many options available for cabinets, countertops and flooring. Cathedral ceilings, gas F/P, attached garage. Enjoy mountain views from the deck or patio.

Use as a primary residence, weekend getaway, or investment property. Now's your chance to build your dream home!

Starting at just $359,000 tbd Willowstone Drive

known is my enthusiasm for automobiles.

Much like my friend F.O. Stanley, I was a vocal advocate of automobile tourism as a means to encourage everyday people to get outdoors and into nature. The legacy of autos, once known as “horseless carriages” and “locomobilies,” is intrinsic to our area’s history. Attending the Coolest Car Show is a wonderful way to celebrate that heritage, while supporting your local history museum in the process.

Join me at the Estes Park Event Center (at the very Fairgrounds named for Mr. Stanley) on Monday, July 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., where you’ll find an dazzling array of classic and vintage vehicles— everything from Ford Model Ts to the most modern cars, which they tell me can now run on electricity. There will be car owners from right here in Estes Park, from throughout Colorado, and from states as far away as Illinois. These car enthusiasts will all be on hand for show and tell.

And just as nature should be enjoyed by the whole family, so should the Car Show. There will be a “Coolest Kids Car Corner” with car-related games, along with arts and crafts. And attendees can get their picture drawn by local caricaturist Tim Buck, or create a fun memento at the Estes Park Photo Booth operated by Beth Headley.

Live outdoor music from Noon to 4 p.m. will feature the Denverbased rock-and-roll band Ugly Rumor, performing songs that pay special tribute to cars and their drivers. Also performing at 10 a.m. that morning is Estes Park’s local folk musicians, the Mountain Music Makers.

And look for me. I’ll be welcoming guests all day to screenings of “An Auto History of Early Estes Park,” filled with images of historic postcards capturing all those thrilling rides

up and down narrow but alluring mountain roads—you’ll marvel at the spirit of adventure from a century ago.

Admission to the Coolest Car Show is only $5 for adults, or $2.50 for young people ages 6 to 17. Children five and under attend free. Tickets will be on sale that day at kiosks in front of the Event Center main entrance.

Best of all, proceeds from your ticket will go toward supporting the Estes Park Museum and preserving the special history of our beautiful mountain valley.

The Coolest Car Show is still welcoming sponsors and exhibitors. Register your car entry at the Estes Park Museum (200 4th Street / 970-577-3766) through June 29, or on-site at the Event Center on July 4 beginning at 8 a.m. (space permitting).

Stepping into the role of Enos Mills at the Car Show—and in this article—is history performer Kurtis Kelly.

Advanced Cancer Treatment

Dr. Matthew Sorensen to present free program at the Senior Center The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division and the University of Colorado Health Aspen Club are collaborating to offer a free program on Tuesday, June 21 at 1:00 p.m. The program will be presented by Dr. Matthew Sorensen, medical director of oncology for UCHealth in northern Colorado.

Call or stop by the Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street, to sign up.

According to the Dr. Sorensen, new cancer therapies allow us to individualize treatment plans for every patient. Often these new therapies are different than traditional chemotherapy, because the therapy attacks only the cancer cells and spares the vast majority of the patient’s healthy cells. The result is a reduced

number of side effects. University of Colorado Health, in partnership with University of Colorado Cancer Center, has expanded local access to specialized therapies and clinical trials.

For more information on the Aspen Club, please visit their website at www.uchealth.org/aspenclub or call (970) 495-8560 in Fort Collins or (970) 624-1860 in Loveland.

He will come to Estes Park to lead the orchestra as concertmaster in a conductor- less program. He will perform the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3 as well as lead the orchestra from the concertmaster’s chair in pieces by Schnittke and Shostakovich. This program will be the first orchestral program of the summer on Monday, July 18.

On July 25 Maestro Zeitouni will conduct a program of the final three Mozart symphonies, Nos. 39, 40 and 41. These are the most famous and well known of Mozart’s symphonies which will be an unusual treat for every lover of Mozart’s mu-

This year’s Music Festival will begin on July 11 with a concert every Monday evening through August 1. All concerts will take place in the historic Stanley Hotel Concert Hall at 7:30 p.m.

On Monday July 11, the Festival will open with the Denver Brass bringing a program entitled “Brassflix: Celebrating America through Music from the Silver Screen.” The program promises ”great American moments as unforgettable

film scores paint pictures of heroes, adventures, challenges and triumphs.”

Then beginning on Monday July 18 and continuing for three weeks, the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra from Boulder will be back for their 40th season of bringing the finest classical orchestral music to Estes Park.

This year’s programs will feature more 18th century classical era music, with fewer pieces from the 20th century. For those who love Mozart, his music will be amply provided in the first two concerts,

The final program on August 1, again conducted by Maestro Zeitouni, will contain quite a wide variety of music beginning with Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1 and ending with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1. In between, two unusual pieces will be heard. First a harp concerto played by the composer Hannah Lash. Lash is an American composer of concert music who serves on the faculty of Yale School of Music and her music has been commissioned by several wellknown American Orchestras. As harp concertos are rare musical events, hearing this live performance played by the composer will be special.

Also on the final program two of the orchestra’s first chair players will perform the Richard Strauss Duet Concertino for clarinet and bassoon.

This will be another outstanding series of summer concerts in Estes Park. Tickets: Individual concert tickets: $30 each (cash or check) Save by subscription $100. Children and students admitted free.

“Meet The Artisan” At The Monday Artisans Market

"Meet the Artisan" celebrates our wonderful and talented local artisans at the Monday Artisans Market.

Join us each Monday, 10:00 - 4:00, June, July and August, at Riverside Plaza, and celebrate our local artisans.

"Meet the Artisan" brings together local and talented artisans to showcase their work. The event is free and open to the public. Every artist has a story. Meet the artisan in person, hear their stories and the inspiration behind their work.

Justy Gaffrey was born into a family of fine artists in Santa Rosa Beach, a quaint beach town in the Panhandle of Florida.

At a young age Justy was eager to make furniture, folk art and skateboards in the gallery below his home.

Colorado provided a fresh tapestry of inspiration from the rich diversity of plants, wildlife and the majestic mountain scenery. The observations that he has made in the natural environment is incorporated into his artistic expression.

His work hints at the human condition through the symbology of animals and celebrates the ordinary beauty of everyday experience. The outcome is a mix of color and emotion on wood panel that brings us back to the wilderness of our imagination. When he’s not painting you can find him snowboarding in the backcountry, at a local brewery or chopping wood.

Karen McPherson creates hand-built planters, serving dishes, and small sculptures using clay slabs and coils. She

wedges burnable materials such as coffee, paper, and various grits into the clay, making it possible to work quickly, forcefully, and “weather” the finished surface. Her pots are intuitive and playful, yet sophisticated.

Karen recently became a full time resident of Estes Park and is grateful to be in the midst of her muse, the Rocky Mountains. She grew up vacationing here on family property. Her adventures wandering across rocks and thru various ecosystems was an opportunity to exercise two critical art making skills: exploration and curiosity. The weathered surfaces and the passage of time evident in the local landscape are an important part of her finished forms.

The Monday Artisans Market offers a unique opportunity to enjoy and support local artisans.

We are all about local art, local artisans, and our unique stories about our art, that makes each and every one of us unique. The Monday Artisans Market connects Estes Park residents, businesses, tourists and the arts within our community. Stop by, say hi, meet the artisans, see their labor of love, and hear their story. Buy Local. Buy Art.

CAC Program Manager Resigns To Relocate To Colorado Springs

Ashley Perkins and Barb Boyer Buck at a recent CAC art show opening.

"Ashley has been instrumental in achieving our 2016 goals, and will be greatly missed," said Barb Boyer Buck, executive director of the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park, about the resignation of the CAC Program Manager, Ashley Perkins. She and her family are relocating to Colorado Springs this month.

Perkins has been with the CAC for a year, starting as a gallery assistant, and in January of this year was promoted to program manager for the CAC's many exhibitions and special events. "Her work in developing programming, adjusting current programming, and administration of each one of these many

projects has been amazing and innovative," said Boyer Buck, "She is one of the most competent and intelligent people I have ever worked with."

"We were saddened to hear about Ashley's departure," said Mike Oline president of the CAC board of directors.

"With her wonderful smile, limitless energy and great knowledge and organizational skills she has been an integral part of moving the Cultural Arts Council into its second quarter century. She will be deeply missed.

"We wish her much success and happiness in her new life."

Squared has achieved significant success in their first two years. Accomplishments include the release of their debut studio album, "Kaleidoscope", selected as runner-up in the 2013 Telluride Jazz Festival Band Contest, and performances at Denver’s top music venues, clubs and festivals. More recent accomplishments include an invitation to play at the 2014 Telluride Film Festival, the 2015 Telluride Jazz Festival, and a live studio performance with Denver’s premier jazz station, KUVO 89.3 FM in August 2014. The band released their second full-length album, "Under the Balloon,” in June of 2015.

On Thursday, June 16, the Longmont Concert Band will perform at 7 p.m.

The Longmont Concert Band is a nonprofit organization composed of volunteer musicians from Longmont and surrounding communities. The band was founded by Robert Crow, who, when he moved to Longmont in retirement, wanted a place to play his instrument.

Bob served in the U.S. Air Force from 1942 to 1945 as a member of an Air Force Band in Tampa, Fla. He was a former member of Denver’s John Phillip Sousa Band. Mr. Crow died on Dec. 12, 2008 at the age of 84.

When he was starting the band, Bob re-

instrumentation. Comprised of amateur musicians from Longmont and the surrounding area, the band provides a forum for area musicians to work together as a team. Mr Kohl: “There is a feeling of connection because of the music and what it says, what it does, and the emotions it portrays that bring audience and performer together."

In addition to the four free concerts we perform in Longmont annually, the band has opened the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park's Thursday Night Live performance series for the last four years, and recently performed a benefit concert at the Old Stage Stop in Rollinsville. A very popular annual event has been the Christmas concert held at the Longmont Senior Center. The 2013 Christmas concert, "Horns for the Holidays," drew our largest audience yet!

The shows are sponsored by the CAC; freewill donations from those attending are appreciated to keep this program thriving.

Bob Hamblin Estes Park Resident Bob Hamblin died in Loveland Saturday May 21, 2016. He was 84 years old.

Robert Clements Hamblin was born April 22, 1932 in Oklahoma City, OK. His parents were Chester and Ellen (Clements) Hamblin.

He graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle with a degree in Sociology and lettering in swimming all four years.

He entered the United States Air Force and was the last class to fly B-25’s. He was also a mission pilot flying out of Sacramento, CA and received an Honorable Discharge in 1968.

Bob was an insurance agent in San Jose, CA. There, he was a member of the Jaycees and got acquainted with Lincoln Life Insurance Company which was the largest company in the United States at the time. Bob worked for that company for 27 years, reaching the position of Senior Vice President of Marketing Sales. He later went on to work for Phoenix Mutual and retired in 1991.

On May 23, 1981 he married Joyce Lassman in Hartford, CT. Bob was active in Rotary Clubs in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Hartford, Connecticut. After he and Joyce retired to Estes Park, CO he became very involved in the Noon Rotary Club serving on various committees.

He chaired the Duck Race the first two years Rotary assumed responsibility for the event. Bob served as President of the club in 1994-1995 and became District Governor of District 5440 in 1998-1999. He also served two years as President of the Rotary Foundation.

Bob and Joyce were active participants in the Recreational Vehicle Fellowship of Rotarians (RVF). He served

as President in 20012003. As a team, he and Joyce served on a major fund acquisition committee for the Estes Park Land Trust in the successful endeavor to place Meadowdale Ranch in a protective land trust agreement. He was an active participant on the Estes Park Medical Center Foundation Board serving as President during the hospital expansion project. He was a member and elder of the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies.

During his retirement years, Bob worked on improving his wood working skills especially during the holidays… much to the delight of those on his gift list. As a couple, Bob and Joyce made time for RV travel with Rotarians plus a good portion exploring the back roads of the U.S. including Alaska.

Their travels included several history/adventure trips sponsored by the Smithsonian and National Geographic. One of their past challenging adventures was completing Wainwright’s Coast to Coast hike across Northern England covering more than 200 miles in 2003.

Bob is survived by his wife Joyce of Estes Park, sons Robert Hamblin, Jr. (Cindy) of Morgan Hill, CA and David Hamblin (Keri) of South Carolina, Frederick Shedd (Philippa) of Columbus, IN and daughter Leanne Byron of Littleton, CO. Also surviving is a sister Janet Olsen of Loomis, CA and 12 grandchildren.
