Fifth Annual Bike The Importance Of High To Work Day Is Speed Communications To June 28, 2017 The Estes Park Police The Estes Park Cycling Coalition is hosting Estes Park’s fifth annual Bike to Department And You Work Day on Wednesday, June 28. Cyclists will be offered a free breakfast, coffee, giveaways, informational booths, bike check-ups, and live entertainment from 6:00 – 9:00 a.m. at the Estes Park Visitor Center, 500 Big Thompson Avenue. Estes Park joins communities across the state to encourage residents to try bicycle commuting as a healthy and safe alternative to driving, and activities will take place rain or shine. Sponsored by Estes Park Mountain Shop, Estes Park Medical Center, Kind Coffee, The Egg & I, Estes Valley Partners for Commerce, Estes Park Yoga, Salud Family Health Centers, Mountaintop Physical Therapy, Sunrise Rotary, Twin Owls Steakhouse, Rocky Mountain Health Club, Estes Valley Library, Ed’s Cantina, Lumpy Ridge Brewery, Rock Cut Brewing Company, Estes Park Running Club, Estes Park News, Town of Estes Park, and the Estes Park Cycling Coalition. All ages welcome – including anyone who’s not heading to work and walkers! The mission of the Estes Park Cycling Coalition (EPCC) is to promote and increase cycling of all kinds in the Estes Valley, through advocacy, education, partnerships and community building. The EPCC strives to cultivate a biking culture in the community and make the Estes area a destination for cyclists. New members are always welcome! Information about participating in the club, group rides, and other events are posted at www.bikeestes.org, as well as informational articles on bicycling safety, tips, and reflections from the community.

What happens when you dial 9-1-1 and need a police officer, ambulance or firefighter? They show up, almost always in an extremely timely manner. This is possible due to high-speed communications among the dedicated staff of these agencies. The Town of Estes Park's emergency services staff, along with our partners, have robust and reliable means of communicating with each other via radio, texting, cell phones, and/or computers, whether from a moving vehicle or from our offices. Dispatchers and most police vehicles can access information from County, State and Federal agencies instantly -- even in our somewhat isolated location in rough terrain. This allows the officer to stay up to date with wanted or missing persons as well as "Officer Safety Alerts" in real time. Weather, wildfire, and criminal events happen every day -and fortunately we get instant updates from our

The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. On June 12 at 1:54 a.m. police stopped the driver of a vehicle at Highway 7 and Morgan Street for an improper turn. The 52 year old female driver from Arvada, CO was found to be driving under the influence of alco-

partners. It is hard to imagine how everything functioned in the 1960s, when only landlines and spotty radio service were available. With today's tough law enforcement environment, our officers must stay on top of current law enforcement issues and remain attuned to their surroundings at all times. High-speed communications allow us to do just that. Using advanced aerial maps and GPS locations for emergencies is becoming the norm thanks to high-speed communications networks. Real-time surveillance systems at public facilities are a proven, effective deterrent to crime and critical to investigations. Systems we could only dream of 20 years ago are in place in Estes Park. Protecting, serving and saving lives continues to be the mission of the Estes Park Police Department and our partner agencies - and high-speed communications make it possible.

The reduction of hazardous fuels is a significant preventative management tool used in preparation for managing wildfire near structures and communities. As seen with the Fern Lake Fire, previous reduction of hazardous fuels aided firefighters in stopping the fire within the park when it made its more than 3 mile run on the morning of December 1, 2012. Ultimately, these projects are done to protect life and property and enhance the safety of firefighters and their ability to manage fire within the park. Fire Management staff at Rocky Mountain National Park completed the final phase of fuels reduction on over 250 acres this past winter, burning around 1,600 piles. Firewood permits were also available by lottery to collect previously cut wood generated

from hazard tree removals and wildland fuels reduction. The annual fuels reduction effort will continue this summer and fall with plans to work on 350 acres on the north and east slopes of Deer Mountain next to the park boundary and an additional 125 acres on the Glacier Creek to Mill Creek fuels reduction project. Crews will also reduce fuels within 200 feet of US 34 from the Fall River Entrance to Deer Ridge Junction, US 36 from Deer Ridge Junction past the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and maintain past treatments on Bear Lake Road between the Glacier Basin Campground and Sprague Lake. Work will include removing dead trees, the lower limbs of remaining trees, ladder fuels, dead and down logs, and the removal of se-

lected trees to increase canopy spacing. Resulting woody materials will be piled on site and burned in the following winters or may be used next year or in upcoming years for firewood permits depending on location. These projects are not designed as a stand-alone defense against wildfires, nor are they guaranteed to hold wildfire in the worst conditions. Please do your part and complete wildfire mitigation on your property. For more information on Firewise standards visit www.firewise.org.

Pavement Projects In RMNP

Kris Hazelton

Pavement Preservation Project In Numerous Locations Throughout The Summer - Alpine Visitor Center Parking Lot And Old Fall River Road Will Be Closed In Early August Today, Monday, June 12, a major pavement preservation project will begin in Rocky Mountain National Park. The work will initially take place on a 12-mile section of US 34/Trail Ridge Road between the Fall River Entrance and Rainbow Curve. During this phase of the project, which should take approximately two weeks, crack sealing and patch work will occur. Park visitors should expect rolling delays of up to 20 minutes. All three lanes at the Fall River Entrance will be patched tomorrow, June 13. From approximately 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. the two south lanes will be closed to traffic. Once patch work has been completed, the two south lanes will re-open and patch work will commence on the north lane. The Fall River Entrance will remain open during the work. Other areas of the park that will be impacted by this ongoing pavement preservation project include the Endovalley Road, Moraine Park Campground Road,

Glacier Basin Campground Road, Sprague Lake Road and Parking Area, Hollowell Park Road and Parking Area, Moraine Park Discovery Center Parking Area, Park & Ride Parking Area, Longs Peak Trailhead Parking Area, Lumpy Ridge Parking Area and the Alpine Visitor Center Parking Area. Some parking areas will have full closures and others will have partial closures in order to complete the work. The work in parking areas will mainly occur in August and September. Weather permitting, Alpine Visitor Center and Trail Ridge Store Parking Area and Old Fall River Road will be closed August 1, 2 and 3 and again on August 17, while the parking area is being resurfaced and then striped. When specific work dates are scheduled for other areas this information will be disseminated. This important project is critical for the long term protection of park roads and parking areas. Work will not take place during the weekends. For further information about Rocky Mountain National Park, please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Elk Calves Appearing In The Estes Valley-Caution Urged Around Protective

Jim Ward photo

By: Kris Hazelton With the new baby elk calves and the proximity of the elk population to the Estes Park residents and visitors, everyone is urged to be on alert and know that the mothers are not being aggressive when defending their young, just protective. It’s our responsibility to not get too close to the baby or the mother during calving season. In the event that you encounter a protective mother elk anywhere in the Estes Valley, here are some helpful tips. Be aware. The best thing to do at this time of year is to be very aware of your surroundings. The cows have calves all over town and you just never know when you’re going to happen to walk by a mother and calf. Back away. If you encounter a protective mother, the best thing to do is to back away quickly. Don’t turn your back on her, as you won’t know if she is charging you. Make yourself look large. If you have a jacket, raise it above your head, and swing it around, make yourself look formidable. Chances are the mother will be glad you’re leaving their space. However, if she continues to pursue you, check around for a stick and if one is available, pick it up and throw the stick at her or if she approaches, give her a whack on her nose to drive her away. Protect your head. If she is an especially protective mother and charges you to the point of knocking you down, curl up in the fetal position and protect your head and neck with your arms and hands. She’ll most likely give you a couple of thumps with her legs and then leave you alone, not seeing you as a potential threat anymore. Advice for dog owners. If you happen to be walking or jogging with a dog, the elk will be even more on alert and aggressive to-

wards your dog. She willl see your y ur pet as a yo real threat, a predator, to her baby. The best thing to do in this case is turn around and go the other way. If you can’t do that, let your dog go for the time, and save yourself. The elk will most likely chase off your dog and you can retrieve the dog a bit further down the trail. Change your route. If the elk are on the trail you frequent, there are miles of other trails, less used by the elk and it is suggested you alter your route for a few weeks to avoid potential problems. Although the elk are used to seeing people, the elk are very much still wild animals. Adult elk, both male and female, are very large and can be dangerous, particularly if they think a person is threatening their territory or offspring. Another important note, if you find a baby elk or mule deer, please never go near or touch it. Even though it could appear that its mother is absent, elk calves are seldom orphaned, and its mother is probably feeding only a short distance away. She’ll make herself known very quickly when you get too close! If you come across a protective female elk, and she is endangering people in a public area, the best thing to do is move away and call the Estes Park Police Department Dispatch Center at 586-4000. They will notify the proper authorities and the volunteers who will temporarily close off the area until the mother moves on with her calf. Educating ourselves and our visitors about wildlife issues is the right thing to do, especially around calving time and during the fall rut. Remember, there’s a reason it’s called wildlife.

Protective Elk Mama Guards Her Young Calf 20 minutes until the biker was lucky to be able to back away from this scary confrontation. A mama elk wants nothing more than to protect her young! We're happy to report the bicyclist is okay! After the bicyclist left, the mama elk went up onto the causeway and actually sat on the guardrail protecting her calf! You never know where you are going to come across a protective mama with a baby, they have babies all over the Estes Valley. Be aware of your surroundings and be safe during calving season!

Free Residential Slash Collection June 23, 24 & 25 To help you prepare for the coming wildfire season, the Estes Valley Fire Protection District is hosting three slash dropoff events. From 8:00 a. m.-3:00 p.m. on June 23rd, 24th and 25th, property owners within the fire district are encouraged to bring slash to the Town of Estes Park property located at 640 Elm Road. The site entrance is on the right-side of Elm Road, just past the turn off to the Waste Management Transfer Station. Appropriate materials (outlined below) can only be accepted during the designated times within the gated area. Please note that if guidelines are not followed, the Fire District may not be able to host future slash drop-off events. Slash consists of tree trimmings, small tree trunks and shrubs that have been removed to create or improve defensible space around structures. Materials accepted: • Branches/tree trimmings • Small tree trunks • Shrubs (no root balls) NOT acceptable: • Pine needles, cones and other small yard debris • Stumps • Flood debris • Material from businesses/commercial sites EVFPD extends thanks to the volunteers working these events and to the Town of Estes Park for providing the drop-off location and assistance with moving materials. Start improving the defensible space

around your home now! Fire fighters appreciate all the work property owners do to reduce wildfire hazards before there is an immediate threat. Once a wildfire threatens an area, there isn’t time to do this important mitigation work. Here are some actions you can take to create a Firewise home with surrounding defensible space. • Thin continuous tree and brush cover around all structures. • Clean out gutters and roof areas where pine needles collect. • Clean pine needles and other debris from under decks and in corners of structures. • Mow grass and weeds around structures. • Prune tree branches to eliminate the possibility of fire reaching the branches. • Remove any small tree or shrub from under large trees to eliminate a ladder for fire up to the tree branches. • Stack firewood at least 30 feet away from any structure. • Post reflective house numbers at the edge of the road so they are clearly visible both day and night. • Make sure the driveway is at least 12 feet wide and all tree branches are cleared to a height of 14 feet to allow emergency response vehicles safe access to all structures. To have a Residential Firewise Risk Assessment completed for your property, please contact the Fire District at 970-5770900.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com The Cub Lake trail wasn’t crowded when my friends and I hiked it last Sunday morning, which was an unusual circumstance that added to the day’s ideal hiking conditions. We had no trouble finding a parking space, the lily pads were this far from blooming on the lake, we saw a couple of moose, and we smelled pepper along the trail. That hint of pepper in the air lead to classic thunkers: Where oh where does pepper come from? Do people intentionally grow pepper? Have you ever heard someone say, “Old man Jack? Yeah, he’s a pepper farmer. ” Does pepper have any nutritional value? Or could pepper actually be bad for you? What is it around here that emits the scent of the distinctive dried up spice? And why does pepper make us sneeze? With lots of trail time to speculate, we considered these questions but neither my hiking buds nor I knew the answers. After doing research, we still don’t know what tree or bush was sending the scent of pepper into the atmosphere along the Cub Lake trail, but I found surprising answers to most of the other questions we posed to each other that lovely, laid-back morning. Black pepper is the world’s most traded spice—even more than salt, the yin to pepper’s yang. It is native to India but is cultivated in Vietnam more than anywhere else. The dark red fruit, like all drupes, contains a single seed. (Don’t bother looking up drupe. I did it for you: it’s a fleshy fruit with a central stone containing the seed—like a cherry or an olive.) This fruit is called a peppercorn when it has been dried. In a nutshell (better yet, in a black, crinkly, peppercorn skin), the pepper vine is grown in soil that is not too dry and not too wet and not above 3000 feet. The plants are tied to neighboring, rough-barked trees (smooth bark is hard for the pepper plants to climb) and the shoots are trimmed twice a year. Competing vegetation is cut away, and then the plants are watered every other day for three years. In the fourth year they bear fruit, which they continue to do for about seven more years. All that work for the humble black pepper that we take for granted daily. We say “saltn-pepper” (all one word), and shake it or grind it—most often over eggs—without a second thought. Yet pepper is the most commonly used spice on the planet. And it’s so good for you: a teaspoon of pepper is

about 10 calories and contributes to the daily value requirement of manganese, vitamin K, iron, copper and dietary fiber. Piperine is the chemical that causes pepper to be spicy (which is different than capsaicin, the stuff that makes chili peppers hot). It has been shown to reduce memory impairment and cognitive malfunction. Piperine also takes the blame for making us sneeze, because it irritates our nostrils. And since I brought it up, I might at well mention that black peppercorns were found stuffed in the nostrils of Ramesses II after he died around 1200 BC in ancient Egypt, placed there as part of the mummification ritual. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I’ve wondered if perhaps those peppercorns were stuffed up his nose before he died, which would have been the cause of his death: he needed to sneeze, understandably, but couldn’t because his nose was all stopped up. The word pep is derived from the longer word pepper, which was used in the early 20th century to mean spirit or energy. It’s a healthy word—and here’s why: Pepper oil is extracted from the crushed berries and used in many medicinal and beauty products. Pepper oil is also used as a massage oil and for other herbal treatments. Pepper provides relief from respiratory disorders, coughs, the common cold, constipation, indigestion, anemia, impotency, muscular strains, dental disease, diarrhea and pyorrhea. (I am happy to say I have no reason to know what pyorrhea is. I didn’t look it up because I don’t want to know.) Pepper fights against infection and insect bites, it reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke and it helps cure vitiligo (lack of skin pigmentation). It aids in preventing earaches, gangrene, hernia, hoarseness, tooth decay and vision problems. It helps us lose weight, remove toxins from the body, and yes folks, pepper helps us expel gas. In other words, a pinch of pepper will cure whatever ails ya. Please pass the pepper. And the Beano.

EPNRC “Estes Give Back” Program Spotlights Rustic Mountain Charm Many people already know Kathleen George and Charley Dickey. If it’s not from shopping at their beautiful store downtown, located at 135 E. Elkhorn, it’s from seeing them around town at various volunteer and nonprofit events and meetings. They are familiar faces in the Estes Park community, and they are the June feature for EPNRC’s Estes Give Back program. EPNRC started the Estes Give Back program as a way for businesses to show their reinvestment in the community in a more efficient and effective way. Estes Give Back business partners pledge to give 1% of sales to Estes Valley nonprofits through donations of cash, in-kind services/merchandise, and/or employee volunteer time. For Kathleen and Charley, 88% of their community contributions come from that volunteer time. Another 5% is from cash donations, and 6% comes in the form of gift or in-kind donations. In return, for membership in the Estes Give Back program, EPNRC provides program discounts, recognition and tools to help businesses better track gifts and to direct their giving to the causes closest to the business owner’s heart and business mission. Business partner dues support Give Back program administration, as well as EPNRC resources, educational programs, and networking opportunities that enable Estes Valley nonprofits to achieve their goals. When asked why the Estes Give Back program has been a good fit for Rustic Mountain Charm, Kathleen and Charley immediately named the application process as their most used and appreciated feature. “Having a resource to funnel our donation requests through has made life much easier for us and our staff alike,” they said. “It also allows us the time and appropriate information to consider the donation request fully, rather than just giving a knee-jerk no if we don’t know enough about the cause.”

The Estes Give Back program has created other benefits for Rustic Mountain Charm. For example, it’s become a great opportunity for engagement with their customer base. “People can’t miss our 1% plaque,” said Kathleen and Charley. “It hangs right above the clerk’s head at the cash register. We have had several conversations with customers about what it means.” Acknowledgment of their Give Back efforts has spread beyond the store. “Honestly, some of the best feel good testimonials come from the people I meet through email blasts or interaction with committees,” Charley shared. “It’s a nice feeling when people express appreciation for the work we do in the community.” Businesses can participate in Estes Give Back by completing a membership form, also found at www.epnonprofit.org/giveback. There is a $150 annual participation fee that counts toward the 1% donation as well as toward membership to EPNRC. Program benefits include: • A dedicated business webpage on epnonprofit.org, describing community contributions, types of requests granted, types of causes supported, as well as a link to the business website • Pre-built spreadsheet for tracking donations • Donation request forms available online • Business card sized handout for walkin donation seekers • Window decal • Annual recognition at Philanthropy Day celebration in November • Use of Give Back logo for promotional purposes • And much, much more! The EPNRC exists to serve and strengthen organizations by offering resources, educational programs, and networking opportunities. Learn more about EPNRC at www.epnonprofit.org.

The Story Behind The USS Estes

By: Laurie Button

Who knew that once upon a time there was a communication flagship serving our country named the USS Estes? I certainly didn’t, but after spending an evening on the Internet and enjoying a morning with former crew member and local resident Roger Boostrom, I now know a whole lot more about it. While discovering there had been a ship named for our area was intriguing, meeting the man proved to be even more inspiring. The USS Estes wasn’t initially designated to be included in the fleet of the United States Navy. Quite the contrary. It was originally intended to be a merchant ship named “The Morning Star� when the hull was fabricated in August 1943 at

the North Carolina Shipbuilding Company in Wilmington, NC. Instead, the ship was acquired by the government in February 1944. Commissioned in October 1944, the USS Estes (AGC_12) was destined to be a communications command center in World War II, as well as in the Korean and Vietnam wars. A Mount McKinleyclass amphibious ship four hundred and sixty feet in length, about three hundred sailors called it their home away from home. Boostrom was one of those sailors in 1967 and 1968. Ships of the same vintage and classification were normally named with a common theme and that was also true of the USS Estes. All its sister ships were named for mountains and that’s where the mystery comes in. If

you’ve lived in this area for any length of time, where is Mount Estes? When researching the USS Estes on the Internet, you’ll note that no one (including the Navy) seems to know where the ship’s name originated. Sources will mention “a mountain range in Colorado� or “near Estes Park,� but they provide no specific peak. The only place I found an actual location pinpointed was in the small print at the bottom of a 1990 reunion site for former crew members. The note referred to the ship being named for Estes Cone. True? Who knows. CDR Bob O. Matthews, the ship’s first commanding officer, spent much of his childhood in Colorado near Estes Park and some speculate he might have influenced selection of the name. However, no one can be certain and does it really matter? What’s important is that there was a USS Estes and it played a pivotal role in more than its share of historic campaigns and battles. The list includes Iwo Jima and Okinawa during World War II, duty in Korea, and Operation Passage to Freedom in Vietnam. The ship was decommissioned the final time in October 1969 and sold for scrap in late 1977. As for Roger Boostrom, he was born and raised in and around Moline, IL. His father and grandfather had proudly worked for John Deere and he planned to follow in their footsteps. There were a few detours along the way, however: college, family, and military service. A captain when he officially retired from the Navy with a combined total of thirty-one years of service (including active duty and as a reservist), he was also a John Deere employee for forty years. Boostrom his wife, Bonnie, and their dog, Maggie, now split their time between Illinois and Estes Park. When he finished officer candidate school with the Navy in the sixties Boostrom assumed he would be assigned to the field he had chosen (as 85 percent of individuals usually are). He had selected weaponry, but instead found himself assigned as an electronics officer. Shortly thereafter, he was deployed to San Diego, CA where he became responsible for maintenance of the communications equipment on the USS Estes. With a crew

of sailors under his command – each with more electronics experience than he had – Boostrom put into motion the technique that had helped him be successful in every challenge he’d faced to date: following directions and utilizing effective communication with those around him. He also kept extremely good notes and maintained contact information; things that often came in handy along the way. Boostrom has always believed that enabling people to talk with each other is the best way to work together and arrive at successful solutions. It may take a hot cup of coffee (or three) and a well-timed doughnut, but in both the military and his corporate life, he knew people had to communicate with each other to solve both the simplest and most difficult of dilemmas. There was no room for politics, self-motivation, or plans for personal gain. Rules were rules and procedures were black and white ‌ Following directions and guidelines to the letter were the keys to accomplishing the tasks at hand. Whether it was finding parts to fix shipboard radios on the USS Estes when no one else could, or while serving as a reservist locating three thousand life jackets to airlift to sandbag crews during a flood along the Mississippi River in the 1990s, Boostrom is a man who simply gets things done. He’s also a man I greatly admire. Estes Park’s Veterans Monument Committee is currently raising funds to build a monument honoring the service of military veterans like Roger Boostrom. It will be in a park-like setting along the river just west of the Visitor Center. If you are interested in making a tax-deductible contribution, you may do so online via credit card at https://www.coloradogives.org/EstesParkMonument. An automatic receipt and tax letter are provided. Donations may also be made by check. They should be made payable to the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado and mailed to Estes Park Veterans Monument Committee, C/O Gary Brown, PO Box 778, Estes Park, Colorado 80517. The committee needs your support to turn this dream into reality.

THE GREATEST MAN EVERY CHILD SHOULD KNOW

I remember the first time I heard Reba McEntire’s song, “The Greatest Man I Never Knew”. I remember that I cried as I listened the sadness in those lyrics. I thought about my own father, realizing how blessed I was to ‘know’ him. Recently I listened to it again. Same reaction…and it was shared by many in her large audience. Let me share her words with you…and then let’s talk about the blessing of fathers. Feel her pain. “The greatest man I never knew lived just down the hall, and every day we said hello, but never touched at all. He was in his paper. I was in my room. How was I to know he thought I hung the moon? The greatest man I never knew came home late every night. He never had much to say, too much was on his mind. I never really knew him, and now that seems so sad. Everything he gave to us took all he had. Then the days turned into years and the memories into black and white. He grew cold like an old winter wind, blowing across my life. The greatest words I never heard, I guess I’ll never hear. The man I thought could never die has been dead almost a year. He was good at business, but there was business left to do. He never said he loved me, I guess he thought I knew.” How many children could describe their father in much these same words. They have a father that ‘brings home the bacon’ and carries on his fatherly duties, but fails to give and share the greatest blessing that fathers can know…a close friendship with his children. Such fathers may love their children as much as any man could, yet fail to realize the balance that is needed in that relationship to give their children the greatest blessing that most children long for…themselves. One reason I was so touched by that song was that, for all too many years, I was that kind of dad. I remember doing ‘church work’ at a Christian youth camp in Arizona many years ago. As I busied myself directing the camp, the staff and the hundred-plus young campers, my wife asked me at one point, “Have you noticed what your son calls you?” Being stumped by her question, the next time six-year-old Kirby came up, I paid special attention. He called me, “Bob”. He had sensed that when he had called me, “Dad’, he got little response, but other campers could say, “Bob”, and I listened and responded. I got the message and determined to quit being a ‘Reba-dad’ type. Most of us dearly love our children, but all-too-often, the message is obscured because of our lack of individual attention to them. How can we change that? It demands that we be willing to listen to them when they talk, putting aside whatever we are doing and giving them our undivided attention. We need to commit ourselves to show a genuine interest in the things they are interested in…because we love them. If we are too busy to do that, we are too busy. Now that I have shared with us fathers, let me speak to all who are blessed to have good fathers. In Reba’s song, she notes that the ‘man’ whom she assumed would always be there, is now gone. We will not have our fathers forever. Even as we want them to let us know how much we are loved and appreciated, be sure that they know the same. Father’s Day is a good time to do that. Let the ‘greatest man’ (is, or wants to be) in your life, feel special today. (Bob)

Affordable Electricity Can Be Consistent With A Sustainable Environment By: Gordon MacAlpine, Emeritus Professor of Astrophysics and Environmental Studies

I worried when President Trump advocated withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement. But, would he actually do that? After all, 195 other nations are firmly committed to protecting our planet. Furthermore, hundreds of CEOs and prominent corporations including ExxonMobil and Chevron strongly advised Mr. Trump to honor our commitment. So, would he really back out? He did; and he is now vigorously attacking our National Monuments and other public lands in efforts to promote more coal exploitation. When Mr. Trump reneged from the climate agreement, he implied it was largely to promote coal, stating “And the mines are starting to open up, having a big opening in two weeks, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, so many places.” Here in Colorado, Arch Coal is being given the green light to mine an additional 17 million tons of coal in what is currently a pristine part of the Gunnison National Forest. The Paris Agreement is indeed intended to reduce coal-burning for generating electricity, because it is a primary source of the carbon dioxide responsible for global warming and climate change. Many coal plants have already been shut down across the US and world-wide. China and India are leading the way, with cancellations or closures of billions of watts of coal-fired power plants. They’re doing this partly to preserve the planet, partly because the consequences of burning coal have been devastating in their cities, and largely because investments in clean renewable energy make more sense. They’re taking advantage of opportunities to restructure their energy economies while positioning themselves as world leaders. Here in the US, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, long term, fixed price Power Purchase Agreements for utilities averaged just 2 cents per kilowatt-hour (kwh) for wind and 4 cents per kwh for solar in 2015. Lazard, the financial advisory and asset management firm, also confirms unsubsi-

dized costs of wind and utility-scale solar energy to be significantly less expensive that natural gas, coal, or nuclear power (https://c1cleantechnicacomwpengine.netdna-ssl.com/ files/2017/01/US-LCOE-RenewableEnergy-e1485107175428. png). Furthermore, a Tucson, AZ electric utility recently signed an agreement to buy solar electricity for less than 3 cents per kwh (4.5 cents with amazing 30 megawatt, 120 MWh lithium battery storage capability for reliability). Scores of US cities are seriously considering or committed to 100% renewable energy, for the environment and because it makes economic sense, both in terms of costs and good jobs in the burgeoning renewable energy industry. Electricity for Estes Park, Fort Collins, Loveland, and Longmont still comes primarily (about 70%) from burning coal at the Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) Rawhide plant near Fort Collins and two plants near Craig. Rawhide produces more than two million tons of climate changing carbon dioxide every year; and coupled with contributions from the Craig power plants, that rises to more than three million tons. Concerned people in the above four municipalities are asking their elected officials for more environmentally responsible and economically advantageous electric energy. It’s now up to all of us as individuals to protect our planet and future generations. Our town officials say they need to hear from the public before taking action in this regard. Please contact them! On a related issue, at least 13 states and more than 270 cities have committed to supporting the Paris Climate Agreement. Their leaders understand the science, the health and environmental issues, and the economics that benefit us all. This includes the mayors of Aspen, Boulder, Breckenridge, Denver, Edgewater, Fort Collins, Lafayette, Lakewood, Longmont, Telluride, and Vail. By contacting our elected officials, we can join this environmentally responsible movement!

Estes Park Going Hollywood

Harris will bring his old-school clown act to the fans at Rooftop Rodeo Cliff Harris earns a living making other people laugh. As a rodeo clown, he lives for those moments when the crowd is engaging thoroughly enjoying all that the sport encompasses. He will do that as his alter ego, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hollywood Harris,â&#x20AC;? during the six performances of Rooftop Rodeo, set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 5-Monday, July 10, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody that does this just loves to do it,â&#x20AC;? said Harris, a Texan who moved to Florida in 1970. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love it, then you burn out and find something else to do. But even at your worst day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a fun job.â&#x20AC;? Not only is he a true entertainer, he also has passed along his lessons to his son, Brinson, who goes by the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brinson James the Entertainer.â&#x20AC;?

For more details and to reserve your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five or six years ago, I got hurt at an space visit us at: event, and he took over the next night,â&#x20AC;? www.bittersweetmountainstudio.com Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be getting back to the big rodeos.â&#x20AC;?

That includes Rooftop, which has been recognized as one of the top events in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association over the past few decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually worked the Estes Park rodeo back in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hot that year, but, man, what a beautiful town. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to coming back.â&#x20AC;? He should. In addition to the picturesque setting that is the town of Estes Park, Rooftop Rodeo has become a hot ticket for the biggest and brightest stars in the game. With Colorado-based Cervi Rodeo producing the rodeo and providing the bucking horses and bulls, there are plenty of opportunities for cowboys and cowgirls to collect big cash. Harris provides that extra zip of comedy and entertainment that mixes so well with the world-class competition of rodeo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more on the old-school art of clowning,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I use more pantomime instead of microphone talk. I really enjoy crowd-participation skits. They can go good, and then they can go fantastic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be funny no matter what, but sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just over-the-top funny because of the personalities we have in the crowd.â&#x20AC;? And with an interactive crowd that Rooftop Rodeo is known to have, Harris should be the perfect match for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

Featured Artisan For June 19th Monday Artisans Market

This week's featured artisan is Dianka Pocop. Dianka, a local Estes Park artist, creates beautiful and unique jewelry and paintings. Dianka has been making jewelry to support international butterfly reserves for over twenty years with her jewelry made with actual butterfly wings. By attending various entomology conferences, she established relationships with butterfly reserves spanning the globe from Papua New Guinea to Costa Rica. The 2013 Estes Park flood was a great setback for Dianka, who is store owner of Mystic Mountain Gallery. Years of collecting specimens and many supplies were destroyed. The toll of the flood and also the unfortunate fact that jewelry making was beginning to take a toll on her hands, Dianka turned to Art healing and began painting. Doing art shows helped Dianka and her art business stay afloat. Dianka learned that the Monarch population was down 92% since 1992 due to the loss of habitat. Dianka realized that though jewelry may not save the world, it does start a conversation to help save the Monarchs. Dianka created her new line of hand painted butterfly jewelry, the Monarch Jewelry Project. With each piece purchased she donates on packet of milkweed to plant in a viable pollinator habitats on the migratory route provided by government right-of-ways. In 2016, Dianka sponsored over

Dianka is encouraged that in the past year that she noticed an increase in the amount of children and the general public becoming more aware of the plight of the monarch and is grateful to spread her message through her

Cultural Arts Council Presents Jeff Van Devender Cultural Arts Council presents New Castle, CO musician, Jeff Van Devender, a versatile pianist whose melodic prowess has reached a global audience, captivating listeners through three decades of performance, recordings & published works. Van Devender's music is occasionally referred to as, “a coffeehouse for your spirit.” Often portrayed as Jim Brickman introduces George Winston to Elton John, his piano melodies may best be described as "a blending of classical, jazz & subtle rock influences with a touch of soul.” Recently, Jeff was recognized by The International Association of Independent Recording Artists® (IAIRA) organization with a “Top 100” certification. Jeff ’s unique piano talents have also been featured on a selection of educational/promotional and Pilates/Yoga dvd’s. In addition, he recently concluded his term as the Colorado Music Educators Association Elementary General Music State Chairman. An elementary music educator and award winning children’s choir director by trade, Van Devender’s piano music can be heard Sundays at the Methodist Church in Glenwood Springs & Episcopal Church in New Castle, CO. Jeff was raised in a very musical household in Oskaloosa, Iowa, where his father was a band director & mother served as a church choir director. While searching for his own musical voice, Jeff ’s diverse

musical influences began to shape an unique direction in his piano playing and composition style. Jeff will be the first to tell you that much inspiration must be credited to the alpine environment. “I feel as I climb higher, I am coming home. My music comes from that place I am reaching for,” Jeff recently stated. He has found that while composing, a melody can never be forced. “When it is ready, it will arrive. Sometimes I set the table for the melody’s arrival, but I often have to choose to be patient. Other times, a melody will just arrive unannounced & I must quickly work with it before it vanishes!” Jeff is presently in the midst of developing three new separate recording ventures in the hopes of completion by the end of this current year. His June 22 concert for Thursday Night Live at Performance Park will feature a diverse catalogue of music, ranging from pop standard covers, to a wide selection of classics & light jazz. See Jeff Thursday, June 22 - 7 p.m.: Performance Park behind Cultural Arts Center of Estes Park. Please visit www.JavaMusiK.com for more information. CACEP will have concerts every Thursday Night going through August 24. Sponsors are Coldwell Banker, Estes Village Properties, Mueller and Associates CPA and The Barrel.

Please come and join us for the second once a month acoustic jam at Coffee on the Rocks. All musicians are welcome as well as those who just like to listen. The jam takes place between 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

June 16. Hopefully good weather will allow us to be outside. However, if the weather is poor we will have jamming inside. Coffee on the Rocks is located on Moraine Avenue.

Hogabluesa Features Biff Gore, Contestant From “The Voice” Sat. June 24 Estes Park Women’s Golf Association Last week results-President's Cup - 1st day of a three day Match Play Tournament Winners of their matches were: Carrie Logan Megan Miller Margi Cantrell Hulda Bachman Kathy Bryson Bonnie Monteferrante Laura Mulder Colleen Casey had a bye Tie: Johanna Gengler and Karen Saucier (to be settled by June 11 by playing extra holes) Winners will progress and play a 2nd match next Tuesday. Follow the Field: "Easiest Holes - Front 9-three way tie: Claudia Irwin, Bettie Tully and Lillian Szydlo.

The 7th Annual Hogabluesa at The Old Gallery in Allenspark once again has attracted some nationally-known talent. It’s bluesman Biff Gore, a contestant on Season 6 of The Voice, who was on Team Usher and Team Blake. “We’re very excited about Biff Gore and friends performing at Hogabluesa at our annual BBQ and Blues event,” said The Old Gallery Executive Director Elisabeth Sherwin. “Not only is he a great blues guitarist and singer; he’s really a great guy.” Hogabluesa (Blues, BBQ, Brew) takes

place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 24 at The Old Gallery in Allenspark. Gore, an Associate Pastor at Highline Community Church in Denver, got a four-chair turn on the popular NBC show. And while he didn’t make it to the Live rounds, he gained a lot from The Voice experience. “It affected me in a very positive way,” he said. “ Before I went on the show, you never would have heard me. I only performed Christian songs during our services at Highline Community Church. The Voice broke me out of my normalcy, broadened my audience and my music. I’ve been able to perform all over the U.S., including Hawaii, and I’ve been asked to perform in Italy this fall.” Gore is a father of six (yes, six!) and has had three different ‘lives.” He served in the Army for eight years, has a PhD in Public Health and spent 18 years as a scientist working in transplant medicine, and now, “serves as an ambassador for music and the Lord,” he said with a smile. While this is the seventh year that The

Old Gallery has presented Hogabluesa, this is the first year the event will take place indoors and during the evening. BBQ is being provided by Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ in Lyons, Oskar Blues has donated beer, Rambo’s in Estes Park has donated Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and there will also be a vegan feast, including the traditional watermelon pig. The Village Thrift Shop is underwriting the cost of Gore’s performance. “We’re so grateful for all of this support from local vendors and businesses,” said Sherwin. “This is one of our biggest fundraisers, and it’s our most popular FUN-raiser, as well.” Tickets to Hogabluesa are $25 and available at Macdonald’s Book Shop in Estes Park, The Old Gallery and Distant Harbors in Allenspark and at www.brownpapertickets.com. Your ticket includes BBQ and the concert. No one under age 16 can attend. The Old Gallery is a center for community and the arts located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7 in Allenspark, 20 minutes south of Estes Park. The not for profit provides a twice-monthly food bank distribution, health and wellness classes, entertainment, the Rocky Mountain 101 Speaker Series, concerts and more.

Rocky Ridge Music Center’s Junior Artists Final Concert This Sunday

The Rocky Ridge Music Center presents the final concert of the Junior Artist Seminar at the beautiful Rocky Ridge Music Center Concert Hall this Sunday, June 18th at 10:30 a.m. The concert will feature the winner of the concerto competition, Phillip Hammond, who will be playing the first movement of Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole for violin. Hammond, age 15 from Bloomington, Indiana attends Bloomington High School North and studies with Brenda Brenner. With technical finesse and showmanship beyond his years, Hammond’s performance is full of Spanish flare. The caliber of musicianship this year was particularly high, but from the fourteen accomplished young musicians who competed, five stood out from their peers. After Hammond, Leslie Wilburn took second place performing the first movement of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1. Wilburn, age 15 from Denver, Colorado, attends The Denver School of the Arts and studies with Jeremy Dittus and Basil Vendryes. Wilburn is also an accomplished violinist, violist, and budding composer. Third place went to Camille Cole performing the first movement of Kabalevsky’s Violin Concerto in C Major. Cole, age 13, hails from Sandy, Utah where she attends Indian Hills Middle School and studies with Melissa Draper. Two honorable mentioned were named.

How To Do Your Part In Preventing Global Warming

By: Judi Smith While we are waiting for the town, the county, the state (and the nation) to do something about global warming, there are plenty of things each household can do. Some are instantaneous and some take an investment of time. Some are free, some save money, and some require financial investment. All require an adjustment in our thinking, and the older we are, the harder it is to change our lifelong habits. â&#x20AC;˘ Make a practice of using reusable (washable) bags for shopping. â&#x20AC;˘ Turn off water while brushing your teeth.

The Trap Range will be offered and announced at a later date. Members of the Club and the Public are expected to bring their own paper targets, firearms, and ammunition. They should also have their own ear and eye protection but if forgotten, loaners or purchase of ear plugs or glasses can be made at the Range. Range Safety Officers (RSO) will be on hand to aid in the safety of handling firearms and go over the commands of the range. Two RSO Club Volunteers will man the safety of each range, Pistol and Rifle ranges. Those attending are expected to sign a Release of Liability Form whether they are a spectator or a shooter. The Fee for the Public to use the range will be $5.00 per person. There will be an established sign in desk to start your morning. It is important to remember that there is no running water, so stay refreshed

and bring your own water or purchase it at the sign in desk. Directions to the Common Point Outdoor Range can be found on the Club's website. www.epgunarchery.com or if you have question, call or e-mail Richard Tekulve, (970) 5778588 or judyrick53@aol.com. To find Noels Draw Lane: at the intersection of Mall Rd & Hwy. 34, Olympus Lodge, drive East toward Drake 3.5 miles. One will pass the Old Glen Comfort billboard and soon see mile marker 68 also on the right. With a slight curve in the road and passing one bridge, the second bridge on the right is Noels Draw Lane. The Common Point Range can be found a mile south on a recycled asphalt single lane road with signs noting the approach of the shooting range. Plenty of parking is available as well as an outdoor restroom. All members and the public are expected to know and abide by NRA safe rules of handling firearms and if unsure of these rules, an RSO will be glad to go over them with you. Thank you and we look forward to a safe and enjoyable summer season at The Outdoor Range at Common Point.

After Loren was sent to Korea, Helen returned to Wakeeney to start a kindergarten program that she taught for 33 years. In 1984 they moved to the south rim of the Grand Canyon where she taught first grade for nine years. She loved her students and they loved her. She often said how fortunate she was to spend 43 years doing something that she loved.

She bonded well with her Hopi students and parents which lead to many initiations to ceremonies in the Plasas & Kivas at Hopi. Both Loren and Helen retired in 1993 and moved to Mesa in the winter & Estes Park in the summer. She loved to Square & Round Dance, They were fortunate to dance as a couple for 68 years.

The baby grand piano that her mother gave her when she was three years old is now in their Estes Park cabin where it often was played for hours at a time. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Estes Park, Co where she sang in the choir for 20 years. She was the one that fell in love with the old cabin they bought in 1967 and enjoyed for 49 years. She loved her breakfast view of Longs Peak. Helen loved to travel and was very fortunate to be able to visit all 48 states, Alaska & all of the Canadian provinces. She was a great partner to Loren for 67 years.

In Memory Of Jim Cope To The Editor: I was sadden to learn of the passing of Jim. He was missed when he moved back east and now will be missed even more, but not forgotten. Jim's impact on me was one of kindness, tolerance, and dedication, not just to Estes but to friends as well as loved ones. First, kindness, he always managed to have something nice to share with me. He also was always supportive of my efforts and lent a helping hand when able. Next, tolerance. Jim always searched to find common ground with those whom he may had disagreements with as well as respecting others views. Finally, dedication. He served Estes on several boards and with several organizations. During my travels I had a short visit to Estes, I was lucky enough to run

into Jim. At this time Jim was working on recycling he asked for my take on the subject and what my experiences were. Those who knew Jim know that his passion is contagious, so of course, I was in. His dedication as a friend was evident to me when ever I needed to hear a kind word, he some how always knew. How I knew of his dedication to loved ones came from what may seem a simple gesture but always touched me. From time to time Jim would stop into my shop to pick up his wife’s favorite flavor of ice cream (cotton candy). His wife was sick and he would tell me that this helped put a smile on her face. I was lucky enough to have called Jim Cope a friend. His influences on me will not be wasted. Thank you, Jim. Paul Fishman
