Spotting A Mule Deer Fawn There are many mule deer fawns now being spotted in the Estes Valley. Just because a fawn may appear to be all alone, it likely isn’t abandoned, its mother may be just out of sight, waiting for you to leave so she may tend to her young. Photos by Sandy Lindquist

“Estes Park Birthday” Inspires Museum Friends’ Table-Setting Contest
!
Whimsy, tradition, and creativity all come together—along with those fancy tableware items packed in the home closet—for the Second Annual Creative Colorado Table Setting Contest. This year’s theme is inspired by the Town’s centennial year 2017: “Happy Birthday, Estes Park: 100 Years, Past and Present.” The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation has announced that this year’s event will return for the weekend of October 27-29 at the Willome Building of the YMCA of the Rockies. All proceeds from this fundraiser will support the archival preservation work at the Estes Park Museum. Contestants are invited to express their creativity by designing a place setting for a meal for two. While no food is actually served or prepared, contestants may create an imaginary “menu” for their setting. This year’s event will feature three categories: formal, informal, and freestyle. Styles may range from classic to casual, or from contemporary to vintage. Anyone wishing to learn more about table setting ideas and examples is encouraged to attend the Tablesettings 101 event at the Estes Park Museum on Friday, September 15. Participants will set up their tables on Friday afternoon, October 27, and the public will be invited to view the displays on Saturday and Sunday, October 28 and 29, with an awards ceremony
that Sunday afternoon. A panel of local judges will review all the entries on the Friday evening of the contest weekend, with prizes awarded in a variety of categories. Contestants may enter as individuals or as a group. Participants are encouraged to challenge their friends, their colleagues or other social groups, possibly for a friendly “competition within a competition.” At last fall’s event, a women’s hiking group worked together and earned first-place honors. Registration is just $20 for individuals and $30 for groups. So dust off greatgrandmother Sophie’s wedding china, or your mother’s fiesta ware, and use it in designing your own celebratory table. Business sponsorships are being sought for this year’s fundraiser. Anyone wishing to learn more about sponsorship is encouraged to contact Museum Friends board member Barb Cole at 970-5861811. This year’s Table Setting Competition is one of the official events of Estes Park’s Town Centennial Year celebration. More information and guidelines are now available at www.estesparkmuseumfriends.org. The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Museum through fundraising, publications, volunteerism, outreach, special projects and events.

One Of 30,000 Artifacts: Find Out What Is In Your Estes Park Museum
This black and white print etching, the “Lone Pine� by Lyman Byxbe (1886 1980), serves as a lasting image of tranquility and wilderness. Byxbe was an artist who moved from Omaha to Estes Park in 1939. Despite being confronted with major economic challenges, such as the Depression of the 1930s and World War II, he persevered and opened a gallery in downtown Estes Park. He successfully sold etchings at reasonable prices that matched the budget of average visitors. The Lone Pine became iconic of Estes Park. So much so, that people journeyed to the windswept tree on High Drive Road and picked needles to keep as souvenirs. Unfortunately, this practice killed the tree. Today, local and state tourism depends on the feelings this etching conjures; wonder, awe, and excitement. This piece also serves as a reminder to viewers of a time when personal cameras, much less phones with cameras, were rare and that a hand-made rendition would be the next best thing to standing before the view of Longs Peak. Why does Estes Park need a Collections and Research Facility? The Estes Park Museum is in need of a new Collections and Research Facility to
ensure the preservation of local cultural heritage. The Collections and Research Facility will be located on the Museum’s current property at 200 Fourth Street and is estimated to cost $1.7M. The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. are committed to raising $1M and Museum staff has identified $700,000 in grant opportunities. Why is this preservation project critical? A well-designed storage facility ensures the preservation of artifacts and accessibility to archives for researchers with: • Ample space for the current collection of 30,000-35,000 locally significant artifacts and room for anticipated growth of the collection • An area to conduct research by museum staff and the public • An appropriate environment, including light, temperature, and humidity control • Proper protection from theft, fire, and pests Every gift helps! To make a financial donation of any size, please contact Estes Park Museum Director Derek Fortini at 970-577-3761 or dfortini@estes.org or give online using PayPal at www.estesparkmuseumfriends.org.
Sad Update On Elliot The Elk Calf We are so sorry to let you know that Colorado Parks and Wildlife veterinarians made the tough decision this week to euthanize Elliot the elk calf last Friday. They tell us that he had suffered a broken leg, which was addressed by Estes Park veterinarian Dr. Marie Cenac, however, they discovered he had also suffered a hip dislocation and had indications of being sick before his injuries–the prognosis was that he would not make a full recovery.
CPW stressed that putting down animals is never an easy job for anyone, but what's best for the animal doesn't always feel good to us as humans. CPW encourages everyone to get educated about wildlife they may encounter while living in or visiting Colorado. To learn more about what to do if you suspect an animal is abandoned or injured, visit: cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/NewsRelease-Details.aspx?NewsID=6128

Scandinavian Midsummer Festival This Weekend In Bond Park Join in the fun at the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival this weekend in historic Bond Park, downtown Estes Park at the intersection of Elkhorn and MacGregor Avenues. The festivities begin at 10 a.m. Saturday with the raising of the Midsummer Pole, followed by a grand march entrance. Costumed representatives from each of the five Scandinavian countries enter the park carrying the flag of their country, followed by the playing of the national anthems of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. Dancing and live music continue all day with many opportunities for young and old to participate in ring and open dances. Visitors can pay homage to this culture by purchasing a Danish or a handmade craft at one of the many arts and crafts booths. Some exhibitors will be selling traditional Scandinavian food, baked goods, decorations and traditional art. The folk art of decorative painting on wood, called rosemaling in Norway and dalmaling in Sweden, will be well represented. Other exhibitors will have handcrafted items, such as pottery, fabric, woodworking, jewelry, painting, metal work, photography, glass and more. All the offerings are inspired by the richly cultural region of Scandinavia. In the cultural tent children (and adults) can paint a Swedish dala horse, make a flower crown wreath, and watch traditional crafts being demonstrated. One can see demonstrations on how to
prepare the famous thin Norwegian potato pancakes at the Lefse demonstration tent, and can experience the roots of Scandinavian heritage at the Fjelborg Viking Encampment. Their historically correct re-enactment camp will feature swordsmanship, a Viking boat, traditional crafts and daily life displays. Anyone wearing a traditional or Viking costume to the festival is invited to participate in the highly entertaining fashion show, held each day. To complement the ancient Viking history, the festival will also include an ode to more modern Scandinavian technology with a vintage Volvo and Saab auto show. Snapvisor (or drinking songs) can be sung in the adults only beer garden. Saturday, June 24th 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Sunday, June 25th 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. * Friday evening the Beer Garden will be open from 4 p.m. - 9 p.m. Visitors can pay homage to this culture through the nearly 80 Scandinavian businesses that offer a variety of food, home decor, and traditional handcrafted items,such as pottery, fabric, woodworking, jewelry, painting, metal work, photography, glass and more. All the offerings are inspired by the richly cultural region of Scandinavia. Every good party needs music, dancing, Vikings and beer to celebrate Summer the Scandinavian way. You're invited to the best party around! Whether you just come for the raising of the Midsummer Pole or stay through until the last Viking has left the Fjelborg Viking Village, the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival will become a tradition.
Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com • The longest day of the year is behind us. I used to consider June 21 one of the happiest days of the year because of the extended hours of sunshine (approximately 15 hours). The glummest day of the year is December 21 with only 9 hours and 15 minutes of daylight (when it isn’t snowing). Positive thinking comes naturally in the summer when we have 15 hours of daylight. It’s in the dark of the cold winter that we need occasional boosts of affirmation. One gloomy December solstice when I was grumbling about how depressing the shortest day of the year is, someone pointed out how I could reverse my thinking by looking ahead: every day for six months after December 21 the days are getting longer! Ever since then I tuck that concept into the back pocket of my jeans each spring (which was too early this year. I should have waited until after that late May snowfall). I fold those jeans up and put them away until cooler weather. Throughout the summer I get up with the sun and enjoy the luscious, long days of the season while they linger. When I get out my jeans in the fall, I rediscover that mental note about making good of the bad of winter, which invokes the same little thrill as finding a forgotten dollar bill folded up in an old pocket. It’s the little things that bring big pleasures. • How many times have you gone into a friend’s bathroom and found scraps of toilet paper on the floor, surrounding the toilet? I never have. Yet when I visit a public restroom, most recently the privy at the Wild Basin trailhead, there is often quite a hoard of paper littering the floor. Why is that? What makes people be less couth, less tidy when they use a public restroom? Know what makes a good day? Stepping into a latrine that doesn’t smell bad and is not littered with scraps of toilet paper. (“Simple pleasures for simple minds, ” my dad will quip when he reads this.) • In my Thunker file, I found a clipping from the July-August, 2005 issue of the Utne Reader (yes, I’ve been stuffing things into that file for a long time). It was a list of the magazine’s staff ’s favorite sounds. Here are some of them: Sisters in the kitchen Meadowlarks singing in the morning The snap and crackle of a fire Whispered sweet somethings The sigh/gurgle/grumble of a dog getting comfortable on the couch Wind blowing through crops The background noise of the crowd at a

baseball game during a radio broadcast The heavy “thud” a dictionary makes when you close it A head of lettuce being ripped open That gurgle-hiss sound the coffee pot makes at the end of a brew Kids playing outdoors on summer evenings Snow falling on my jacket The dishwasher running late in the evening The pop of uncorking a wine bottle. Recently a fellow hiker mentioned how she loves the sound of her boots against the gravel of the trail. I have often thought of my favorite sound while hiking: I derive pleasure from the sound of my boots against wet pebbles as I step on them. It’s almost musical as they chink together—in a different, almost fairylike way than when the rocks are dry. • Today’s hike brought us nose to nose with a moose (“as big as a small house, ” someone said later). We rounded a bend and stopped short when, not 10 feet away, a moose stood in the middle of the trail. After several seconds of stare down, the moose took a couple of steps toward us. We backed up, which is hard to do on a mountain trail. The moose picked up his pace. We backed up faster, trying to look over our shoulders to see where we were going while keeping an eye on the black hunchback with plated antlers that almost reached from tree to tree. He looked serious as he approached with a mission. We scrambled off the trail just as he broke into a trot and passed by. We didn’t make our destination. Snow hid the trail so we couldn’t tell where we should go. But we were happy with the outcome of the hike. We were safe after a close encounter with a moose, and we saw another one later that was off the trail, munching on willows. From a distance, we were able to appreciate the mystery of moosedom without invading his space, or he, ours. On our way back to the trailhead, we wondered if eventually moose sightings will be as common on this side of the Divide as elk run-ins are today. Most likely. And just as with the elk, we won’t tire of them, because, as in the case of moose, it’s the big things that bring little pleasures. As big as a small house.

The Rooftop Rodeo Legacy Longtime volunteers reflect on the history of Estes Park’s marquee event There’s a reason why Rooftop Rodeo is considered one of the best ProRodeos in the country. “It’s the people that made this organization fun to be in,” said Gary Cleveland, a longtime member of Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. “Their thoughts are for the benefits of the cowboys and the people in attendance. “That’s what really draws me. There’s no showboating by anybody. It’s a real team effort to have something so good.” After 20 Rooftop Rodeos, Cleveland has retired from the committee and will be a spectator for the 2017 edition of Rooftop Rodeo, set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 5-Monday, July 10, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park. But Cleveland knows the undertone of the local rodeo, as do many others who have been on the committee for several years. “Our committee works really well with each other and seems to have a very good time doing it,” said Sean Murray, a 24year member of Western Heritage. “Of course, if we didn’t enjoy it, we wouldn’t be there.” That resonates across the board, and the residents, tourists and contestants who make it to Estes Park in early July are the beneficiaries. “The rodeo means tradition, which is very important to me,” said Jo Adams, now in her 26th year on the rodeo committee. “When I was a kid, Estes Park was deemed the Horse Capital of the World. It’s gone away from that, but I can see now that it’s coming back. “The rodeo is a good way to introduce a total Western lifestyle to people, and that makes me feel good.” Rodeo, as a sport, is a tip-of-the-hat to the days of yesteryear, when livestock was such a vital part of everyday lives. As with everything, the sport has evolved, but its roots are firmly planted in its past.
“Rodeo and horses have always been my passions,” said Amy Vigil, who is celebrating her 19th year with Western Heritage and will honor her 20th rodeo in a few weeks. “We just have so much fun with this. Watching the committee, the volunteers and the rodeo grow together is just phenomenal. “You can’t find a better group of people, and we’re all best friends.” That common thread has paid off rather well. Over the last two decades, Rooftop Rodeo has regularly been recognized as one of the top events in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. That falls on the committee that organizes the rodeo, but it also serves as a reflection of the town of Estes Park. “The rodeo brings a lot of people into Estes Park,” said Chief Jenista, who has been associated with Rooftop Rodeo for 27 years. “We have the tourists, but I think the rodeo brings prestige, especially when the rodeo was No. 1 for so long. “When I go someplace, people have heard about Rooftop. That says a lot about the rodeo.” For those that have been in Estes Park most of their lives, the rodeo has been part of them for decades. “It’s traditional family entertainment,” Adams said. “I think it’s a step out of the hectic, everyday pace and shows what you can do with animals and the respect for animals. “Rooftop is just part of Estes Park, and it has been for 91 years.” And for volunteers, being part of that history is rewarding. It takes a dedicated group of people willing to put in long hours to make each year go off without a hitch, but each volunteer believes in the end result. “Estes Park is where I grew up,” Cleveland said. “I was a baby when we went up there. Growing up in that aspect of that town, you try to find something to give back to that town. The rodeo is a way I could give back to the town by volunteering my time and energy to an event that benefits the town. “It makes you feel good.” It shows every July, just as it has for 91 years.

Rooftop Getting A New View VIP tickets will allow some fans a different experience for Estes Park rodeo How popular is Rooftop Rodeo? The popular box seats are often sold out before the rodeo begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 5-Monday, July 10, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park. So the Town of Estes Park developed another avenue beginning this year. “We were looking at the fact that our box seats sell so well,” said Rob Hinkle, director of the Community Services Department with the Town of Estes Park. “We realized people are looking for a more exclusive experience. The town created the VIP Experience, which allows patrons a tour of the rodeo grounds before the show, access to the exclusive VIP patio at the west gate, dinner at the hospitality tent, access to a bartender and specially reserved stadium seating. “While watching the event, you will be taken care of by a designated bartender, providing you with drinks at additional charge,” said Mark Purdy, chairman of Estes Park Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. “We have only 26 VIP tickets available for each night, but I think it’s an awe-

some opportunity for people who want that experience.” VIP Experience tickets are $100 apiece. “This offers VIP guests a chance to meet our volunteers and the cowboys that come to town to compete,” said Ben Vigil, president of Western Heritage. “It also allows them a special seat where they can see all the action.” It’s about creating something special for those guests. “We want this to have a special ambiance for those
guests,” Hinkle said. “It’s a new experience to the rodeo that’s much different than you’d get from our general admission seats. “It provides convenient access to our hospitality tent, which traditionally has been reserved for our volunteers and the cowboys.” For now, guests can enjoy access to the area just outside the west gate, a popular viewing spot for staff members and cowboys in the past.

EVPC And EAD Host Arts And Commerce For June Estes Valley Partners for Commerce and the Estes Arts District cooperate each month to sponsor Arts and Commerce Networking, artists and businesses working together to benefit the community. Last Thursday's meeting was a prime example of what happens when a roomful of active Estes Valley community members join forces. There was a constant flow of high energy communication for the entire two hours. This is the very purpose of the monthly networking event. The only lull in conversation was the usual break to hear about upcoming events and to give away door prizes to the lucky winners, two beautiful vases provided by Rustic Mountain Charm and a plaque displaying Estes Park poetry from Wishes Fulfilled. We wish to thank Cousin Pat's for hosting the party, providing a continuous flow of refreshments, and an excellent venue for the event, all on short notice when our original plans fell through. Their back room provides an excellent location when booking celebrations and gatherings.

June “Explore Our Store” Showcases Cinnamon’s, Wild Spirits Gallery And The Ore Cart
ESTES PARK’S NEWEST RESTAURANT
NOW OPEN! FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER!

We’re honored to be #1 in life insurance.
This month’s “Explore Our Store” took place on a beautiful morning of Wednesday, June 14 and featured three businesses: Cinnamon’s Bakery, Wild Spirits Gallery, and The Ore Cart. Representatives from the Visitor Center staff, Estes Valley Partners for Commerce, Estes Arts District, Estes Area Lodging Association, and Visit Estes Park all enjoyed checking out each store’s offerings and hearing wonderful presentations from the owners. The group’s first stop was Cinnamon’s Bakery, located at 920 W. Elkhorn Avenue. Co-owner Carole Fixter was there to greet the group and share a bit of the bakery’s history. Carole and her husband Bob opened Cinnamon’s bakery just over one year ago on May 19, 2016 after purchasing the property in 2014. They weren’t sure at first what they wanted to open in the building (which is three tent houses from Elkhorn Lodge, moved and connected by Jack Sibal) but decided in 2015 that they would create a cinnamon roll bakery. After purchasing, Carole and Bob stripped the building down to the studs and renovated it to its current beauty. The Fixters also own Fall River Lodge, just down the road, as well as Fall River Antiques and Jewelry. As you can imagine, their days are quite full with running a bakery, a busy downtown shop, and a lodging establishment! Carole’s days start at 2 a.m. when she gets up
daily but is often sold out by 8:45am (that’s 70 boxes of rolls per day, gone in under two hours!) so make sure to get their early for your sweet treat. Carole sent the group on to their next destination with fresh rolls – thank you, Carole! The next stop was back toward downtown: Wild Spirits Gallery, located at 148 W. Elkhorn Avenue. Owners Leslie and Greg Peterson welcomed attendees in with fresh coffee and more treats (supplied by Raven’s Roast). Wild Spirits started 20 years ago inside the Old Church Shops just across the street, then moved to its current location 3 years later. Leslie and Greg purchased Wild Spirits six years ago in September. Their self-proclaimed niche is that “everyone can have fine art” in their homes, so they focus on affordable, open-edition prints that are all framed on-site. Their framing studio is located on the upper level of the store, and about 30% of their business comes from custom framing requests. Wild Spirits currently features about 6065 artists, half from Colorado and the other half from around the world. Leslie and Greg’s passion for their business shone through in their presentation to the group – they shared how much they love the art and framing industry, that it doesn’t feel like work and that they are even visiting the store on their days off. Their customers become their friends, many of whom return year after year to
to make the cinnamon roll dough, the recipe for which comes from a dear friend named Helen at the Fixters’ old church in Lincoln, Nebraska. Cinnamon’s currently features classic rolls, pecan rolls, fruit rolls, gluten-sensitive blueberry muffins, and some new roll flavors on certain days: coconut pecan, bacon salted caramel, and soon, pineapple upside down! The bakery opens at 7am
shop and catch up with the Petersons. The Estes Arts District made sure to thank Leslie & Greg for their participation in the First Friday Art Groove. There are currently 17 galleries on the tour, Wild Spirits being one of them! The final stop for the Explore Our Store group was just across the street at The Ore Cart, located at 119 W. Elkhorn Avenue. Owner Jim Hull and manager Dina

were there to tour attendees around the store and share information about the store. The Ore Cart has been under the same ownership since 1972, which really shows Jim’s passion for downtown business in Estes Park. Dina led the main tour around the store, letting attendees check out the various products The Ore Cart carries, including aspen leaf jewelry, geode book ends, natural salt lamps, meteorites, fossils, and other unique gifts. For out-of-town guests who want to purchase specialty items that might be difficult to ship back home, the Ore Cart will happily arrange shipping and have sent items to Europe, Asia, and Australia (as well as around the United States). And for some guests, they “experience” their purchases in unique ways – including a guest who had their wedding rings kept inside a geode, which was then cracked during a ceremony! The group really enjoyed the detailed presentation about the distinc-
tiveness of the store. Jim even shared “three keys to success in business in Estes Park” – you’ll have to visit him at The Ore Cart to learn what those are! Thank you to Carole, Leslie, Greg, Dina, and Jim for participating in this month’s event! “Explore Our Store” takes place on the second Wednesday of each month, with the first store stop at 9am and the second at 9:30 a.m. The next event will include three great stops in Stanley Village on July 12, beginning at The Art Center of Estes Park, then moving to The Smirking Fox and The Studio Fine Art & Framing. All are welcome to attend! We are delighted that the 2017 calendar has been filled with a great slate of stores, but if you are interested in being added to a waitlist, would like to be considered for 2018, or if you have questions about Explore Our Store, please contact Charley Dickey at charley.dickey@outlook.com.

Fine Arts Guild Of The Rockies Welcomes The Poudre River Irregulars To Performance Park, June 24th The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies 2017 free Summer Series at Performance Park continues othis Saturday, June 24th at 7 p.m. with the ragtime, jazz, and "more" band The Poudre River Irregulars! The Poudre River Irregulars is a colorful New Orleans and Dixieland jazz ensemble noted for its exuberant energy and sound musicianship. Drawing much of the band's inspiration from Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton, the Irregulars play a wide variety of traditional jazz, from ragtime through the classics of the twenties and thirties up to early swing. Whatever the selection, the music is always upbeat and joyful. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, this popular band plays for concerts, dances, and private engagements all over the Northern Colorado region. Their bestknown gig is at Avogadro's Number, a hangout near the Colorado State University campus, where they play on the first Friday of each month to sellout crowds. See their website www.prijb.com/about.htm for all their upcoming engagements and their extensive musical credentials. The Poudre River Irregulars name ex-
planation is as colorful as their music. The Cache la Poudre River was coined by early French explorers who stashed gunpowder at intervals along its banks. These days, the river's upper reaches provide recreation for kayakers, rafters, and fishermen, while supplying water for Fort Collins and surrounding agricultural areas. The local pronunciation is "POOder." As to "Irregulars," when the band was forming in 1994, personnel changes were frequent and abrupt. The group has long since stabilized but keeps the name because it suggests the free and easy spirit of their music. (Think of a motley militia ready at a moment's notice to take on an engagement with deftness and high spirits.). The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies welcomes audiences to Performance Park at 435 W. Elkhorn Ave. Estes Park at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 24th. The Poudre River Irregulars are highly skilled and professionally trained. Bring your blanket and chairs to a FREE concert that is sure to entertain! Donations for Estes Park High School music scholarships are gratefully accepted.

Observatory Open House And Program On “Lifestyles Of The Stars” The Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) in conjunction with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public open house/star night this Saturday, June 24th, 7 p.m. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley. Our returning speaker for the evening is one of our EVAS club members, Dr. Gordon MacAlpine and the title of his talk will be: “Lifestyles of the Stars.” Stars are like people. They may be conceived in a brief, energetic event. Then they go through a gestation period, followed by colicky infant stages, a relatively stable adolescence, midlife crises, and unstable old age. Also like people, stars can leave behind fossils that reveal their prior existence. In the case of our Sun, it’s entering middle age as a roughly five billion year old hotshot who thinks it’s the center of a solar system. But midlife crises are looming. As its core nuclear reactor redistributes itself, the Sun will swell up to become a planet-consuming red giant, to be followed by a disruptive core blow-out involving as much power as all the stars in a galaxy. Fortunately, the Sun has Gravity-Care Insurance and will survive this episode, but it will eventually become unstable and gradually blow off its outer layers to produce a graffiti-art planetary nebula. (Unfortunately, this won’t actually involve planets…remember, the red giant consumed them.) What’s left afterward will be a white dwarf, a star in retirement. It will have little to do but hang around for billions of years, as an Earth-size fossil. Looking on the bright side, it may eventually resemble a giant diamond! The vast majority of stars are less massive than the sun, and they lead really boring lives, unworthy of even a bad reality show. These stars, called red dwarfs, just sit there in space, shining at a relatively constant rate for billions and billions of years. The real excitement lies with stars significantly more massive than the Sun, which burn through their nuclear fuel quickly, lasting for millions rather than billions of years. These relatively rare stars make heavier and heavier elements,
getting hotter and hotter in their interiors, until…blam... they explode as supernovae. In this astonishingly brief, energetic process, they trigger new star formation, make and distribute elements in our planet and our bodies, and leave behind incredible fossils…either EstesValley-size neutron stars or black holes. Black holes can be as large as a solar system or smaller than a pika. If you find one of these while looking around Estes Park for pika sculptures, it would be best to stay away from it. This public talk, supplemented with visual aids, is intended for a general audience. Our speaker is Dr. Gordon MacAlpine a retired astronomer, physicist and a member of the EVAS club. He received a BA in physics from Earlham College and a Ph. D. in astronomy from the University of Wisconsin. After a stint at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, he joined the faculty at the University of Michigan where he was a Professor of Astronomy until 2000. Then he accepted the Zilker Distinguished Professor of Physics chair at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, where he continued teaching astronomy, physics, and environmental science until his retirement in 2012. Gordon and his wife, Barbara, recently moved to Estes Park The observatory is just north of the high school at 1600 Manford Ave. Park in the teacher’s parking lot adjacent to the observatory. The doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and the meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. The presentation, including a question and answer period, lasts about an hour. After the presentation, weather permitting, we will look through the new 16 inch dome telescope at various celestial objects. Information about the meeting can be found on the observatory website at: www.AngelsAbove.Org If you have any questions, please check the EPMO web site at: www.AngelsAbove.org. The lecture is free to the public and no reservations necessary. Just come and join the party and be ready to ask questions! For more information, please call the observatory at 970-586-5668.

Radio “Field Day� June 24-25
Demonstrates Science, Skill, and Service Members of the Estes Valley Amateur Radio Club will be participating in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise, June 24-25 at the Estes Park Senior Center, located at 220 Fourth Street, Estes Park, Colorado. Since 1933, ham radio operators across North America have established temporary ham radio stations in public locations during Field Day to showcase the science and skill of amateur radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. For over 100 years, amateur radio — sometimes called ham radio — has allowed people from all walks of life to experiment with electronics and communications techniques, as well as provide a free public service to their communities during a disaster, all without needing a cell phone or the Internet. Field Day demonstrates ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network. Over 35,000 people from thousands of locations participated in Field Day in 2016. “It’s easy for anyone to pick up a computer or smartphone, connect to the Internet and communicate, with no knowledge of how the devices function or connect to each other,� said Sean Kutzko of the American Radio Relay League, the
national association for amateur radio. “But if there’s an interruption of service or you’re out of range of a cell tower, you have no way to communicate. Ham radio functions completely independent of the Internet or cell phone infrastructure, can interface with tablets or smartphones, and can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. That’s the beauty of amateur radio during a communications outage.� “Hams can literally throw a wire in a tree for an antenna, connect it to a battery-powered transmitter and communicate halfway around the world,� Kutzko added. “Hams do this by using a layer of Earth’s atmosphere as a sort of mirror for radio waves. In today’s electronic do-it-yourself (DIY) environment, ham radio remains one of the best ways for people to learn about electronics, physics, meteorology, and numerous other scientific disciplines, and is a huge asset to any community during disasters if the standard communication infrastructure goes down.� Anyone may become a licensed amateur radio operator. There are over 725,000 licensed hams in the United States, as young as five and as old as 100. And with clubs such as Estes Valley Amateur Radio Club, it’s easy for anybody to get involved.

ROOTS First Program A Success! Time To Sign Up For Nature camp
ROOTS would like to extend our thanks to Families for Estes for funding our FoodLab program which took place in early June. Through three “workshops” focusing on food sustainability, nearly 60 participants aged 1-80 engaged with educational programming designed and facilitated by ROOTS. We explored soils, experienced worms, talked to local farmers, tried new foods, and discovered seeds in everything. Thank you also to the Estes Valley Community Garden for offering their beautiful space as a venue for exploration and to the Estes Park Farmers Market and all our participating vendors for hosting and participating in our Farmers Market Scavenger Hunt. Coming up next is ROOTS Whole Child Nature Camp for children ages 711 at the end of July, partially funded by Estes Park Youth in Action. We are thankful to the Estes Valley Public Library for handing down this camp model to us and to Eagle Rock School for hosting components of the camp and to our
Eagle Rock student interns who are helping make this camp possible! Our daily camp “Nature Quests” are sure to engage the senses, ignite the imagination, and challenge the mind. Registration, Tuition information (including financial aid), and program logistics are available at www.RootsCommunitySchool.org/camp Register by July 1 for the early bird discount! ROOTS programs emphasize relationships and patterns in nature through hands-on interactive learning experiences outdoors. Now is the time to Root our youth to the earth; to give them something stable to stand on as they grow. ROOTS programs teach our youth to see the world as interconnected pieces, of which we are a part. Thank you for your continued support! Without it, ROOTS would not be able to offer these essential programs. Your contributions make ROOTS a reality and make our programs affordable and accessible to all. Thank you, Estes, for taking this on and being an integral part of our children’s future.

“ONE OF THESE DAYS I’M GONNA CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN” I was sitting in ‘my office’ (at the church building…not McDonalds) when a song of bygone days came on. Most of you will not remember an actor / singer by the name of Walter Brennon, but he sang with a ‘tear in his voice’, and his songs often struck a chord with me. This particular song I hadn’t heard in years, but I loved a message it conveyed and wanted to use it to challenge us. The song was about: ‘Old Rivers’. He reminisces about days when, as a boy, he walked along beside an old man, affectionately called ‘Old Rivers’, as he plowed the hard ground to plant his crops. When they took a much-needed break and sat down, ‘Old Rivers’ would often share his vision of his future, his view of the next life. “One of these days, I’m gonna climb that mountain, walk up there among the clouds, where the cotton’s high and the crops a’ growin’ and there ain’t no fields to plow.” Years later, having learned from loved ones ‘back home’, that ‘Old Rivers’ had died, he reflected again on those words…and was encouraged again, by his friend’s sense of where he wanted to go…and hoped that he had found his peace. I couldn’t help wondering about how many of us have given thought to what we hope to see ‘one of these days’, motivating us to work and serve to achieve it. We know that, like ‘Old Rivers’, all of us will “go the way of all flesh” (David’s words). Paul wrote: “It is appointed unto man once to die”. So, hopefully, as we sit in a memorial service for a friend or loved one, we are visualizing what we ourselves hope to ‘enjoy’ in that next life. Many today refuse to talk about ‘death’, especially theirs, but such refusal does not mean that it isn’t going to happen, so I hope you feel free to think about what is coming for you, and, hopefully, with joy, are able to anticipate a pleasant eternity for yourself. I knew one such couple in Livingston, Montana. The Charlie Millers owned a small Rock Shop there. They were dedicated Christians nearing the end of their lives and spent time, on occasion, thinking about their…not too distant…future. Joe Malone came to our town to share some Bible lessons. The Millers quickly asked to ‘put him up’ during his week’s stay. They soon learned that besides being a teacher, Joe was an illustrator for the Denver Post newspaper, using his artistic ability to illustrate his timely lessons. Joe became intrigued to learn about a ‘black light’ room in the rock shop where, when ‘black light’ was turned on in total darkness, rocks containing certain elements glowed in gorgeous hues of blue, gold, red, yellow. Joe wanted to get chalk that would ‘glow in the dark’ like those rocks did. Charlie had some and not being an artist himself, he gave Joe what he had. A couple of weeks later he received a package from Joe. He opened it up and there was a large, perfectly drawn, full-color picture of the rock shop, with the caption: “Our earthly home”. The Millers loved it. Then a note fell. “Take it into the black light room”. When they did, and turned on the black light…there was an artist’s beautiful conception of the ‘heaven’ described in the book of Revelation, with the caption: “Our heavenly home”. Charlie wept as he viewed it remembering a discussion he and his wife had had with Joe about what they were hoping eternity…their home…would be like. What about you? Sit down and decide what the place you want to go will look like, and then put forth the effort to go there. God bless your ‘vision’. (Bob)

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com I was seriously thinking of retiring from writing this column. Our little newspaper has gotten so popular I wondered if my article was necessary any more. I mentioned that to some, actually a large number, of people, and was encouraged to continue. OK, I am flattered and pleased that y’all enjoy my prater so for a little while, I will continue. I have just returned from a wonderful trip, first to Reno for a granddaughter’s graduation from high school and then a visit with my oldest granddaughter in Hawaii. At my son’s home in Reno I got to play the slots and in Hawaii I certainly got my fill of sand, water, pineapple and Spam. Hawaiians do so love Spam. I actually like it myself. It reminds me of the days during WWII. I think that was when Hawaii really started eating it as well. But I promise, no Spam recipes. That is Spam that you eat, not internet spam. Before I left I made the best braised lamb shanks. I started with a Bobby Flay recipe but adjusted for my own taste and ingredients that I had. Sometimes these chefs use stuff you don’t have or do not want to take the time to fix or add. Well, mine was delicious. I served it with orzo that I flavored with the drippings and cooked in chicken stock. Cook the orzo as if you were preparing risotto.
Braised Lamb Shanks Olive oil to brown shanks 4 lamb shanks
Salt and pepper to taste. 1 large diced onion 1 cup diced celery 1 cup diced carrots 3 cups red wine 3 Tbs. balsamic vinegar 1 head of garlic, finely chopped 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary 1 can diced tomatoes with juice. 8 cups chicken stock Brown shanks on all sides. Remove and in same pan, sauté the chopped vegetables. Add wine and vinegar and reduce by half. Add herbs, garlic, stock and shanks. Cover and place in pre-heated oven (350 degrees) and bake until tender. This will take about 2 ½ hours at high altitude. Strain broth and reduce it about ½. Before reducing it though, save a little to flavor the orzo. Sunshine was at Marie’s kennel while I was gone. They are so good with her. She even got a bath. But you know how she missed me, she is my shadow. I picked a lot of rhubarb before I left but it had come back with a vengeance. Anyone want any? My email is: esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon appétit

Shop Pink For Local Cancer Care
To benefit the care of cancer patients at Estes Park Medical Center, three local shops have taken their participation in the Paint Estes Pink campaign to the next level. At the Elizabeth Guild, Lizzie’s Boutique and Mary Jane’s you can purchase items, make donations and more — all to help EPMC’s Oncology Department purchase two new IV pumps. This equipment administers medications like chemotherapy and is needed to keep up with a growing demand for oncology services. “We’re proud to support the Medical Center year-round, ” said Susan Henshaw, Elizabeth Guild board president. “This is a fun way to specifically benefit the oncology department. Our volunteers have had a great time pulling together pink items for the sale. ” Throughout the month of June, 100% of the sale of anything pink will help the EPMC Oncology Department. Elizabeth Guild and Lizzie’s Boutique customers can also pick up the special Paint Estes Pink tea blend from Rocky Mountain SereniTea and Kind Coffee roast that have a portion of proceeds going to the oncology department. “It’s been great to get Mary Jane’s more
involved in Paint Estes Pink this year, ” said Stef Scrutchins, Mary Jane’s store manager. “In just a couple weeks, we’ve raised more than $100 by simply letting our customers round up their purchases to the next dollar. I can’t wait to see how much we raise by July 8th with everything else we’re doing. ” In addition to rounding up purchases and making donations at the cash register, Mary Jane’s is donating $10 from the purchase of a specially designed t-shirt, tank top and tote. Tip jars at the store’s recent open house benefited Paint Estes Pink by helping Joy Barnett, one of the shop’s employees, in the Rooftop Rodeo’s Crowns for the Care competition. Both Susan Henshaw from the Elizabeth Guild and Stef Scrutchins from Mary Jane’s have helped with planning this year’s Paint Estes Pink campaign as members of the community’s PEP committee. You can also expect to see their shops all decked out in pink during the two weeks leading up to the Rooftop Rodeo’s Tough Enough to Wear Pink night on Saturday, July 8. It’s not too late for more Estes Park businesses to get involved! Pink Storefront Décor Competition
Decorate the exterior of your building and/or display windows with pink for the weeks of June 26July 8. Be sure to submit your information at http://bit.ly/PEPparticipation so your business can be recognized and the judges will know to visit you. The winner will be announced on Saturday, July 8 at the Rooftop Rodeo. Last year’s winner was the Bank of Colorado. Donation Jars Collect donations during the week of June 30-July 7 using official Paint Estes Pink jars. Volunteers will be out distributing jars later this month. Submit your interest at http://bit.ly/PEPparticipation to ensure you’re included. The business with the largest amount collected will be recognized on Saturday, July 8 at the Rooftop Rodeo. Last year’s winner, The Barrel beer garden, matched what their patrons gave to come out on top. Point of Sale Donation Given the premium on counter space, businesses like Mary Jane’s are opting to set up an option for customers to roundup their purchase or provide a separate donation during check out. Promote Paint Estes Pink Support the campaign by displaying
posters, flyers and/or tent cards that direct people to donate at GiveToEPMC.org/pink, honor a loved one on the Give Cancer the Boot Tribute and bid on a Paint Estes Pink quilt crafted by the Trail Ridge Quilters. By letting the committee know how you’d like to participate (http://bit.ly/PEPparticipation) they can ensure you get the appropriate materials. The Need Facing a cancer diagnosis and its subsequent treatments is exhausting. Traveling an hour or more for medical care creates even more hardship. Having the ability to receive infusion treatments, including chemotherapy, and to see an oncologist at EPMC is extremely valuable. In order to keep up with a growing demand for these services, EPMC needs to purchase two new IV pumps to administer medications. All of the 2017 Paint Estes Pink donations will be used to purchase this important equipment. To donate and learn more about Paint Estes Pink, visit GiveToEPMC.org/pink or contact Kevin Mullin at 970-577-4306 or kmullin@epmedcenter.com.

Featured Artisan For June 26th Monday Artisan Market
This week's featured artisan is Mary Crone. Mary, a local Glen Haven artist, creates beautiful, unique, one of a kind clay sculptures. Creating ceramic sculpture is a passion for Mary Crone. Her work reflects the joy and spirit of her creative processes. Mary is interested in ceramics with personality, beauty, and attitude. The marks of the process, the slight distortion from a gentle hand, or the fingerprints are all a part of the language with which exclaim, "I was not machine-made, I was not mass-produced, I was made by fingers and hands, in a small studio, by an artist dreaming, creating, and listening to music." In a time of mass-production, consumer culture and waste, the handmade creations brings us back to the intimacy of human nature. One of Mary's most cherished childhood memory is digging up clay from the shores of Lake Huron, where she grew up, and turning the clay into a variety of animals. "I love the beauty of taking a lump of mud and forming it into an object, a creation, it fills me with gratitude. I have always been drawn to clay.
Every time I pick up a piece of clay I feel something stirring inside. Sculpting comes naturally to me and I love creating something from what is basically a pile of mud. Clay is an art form that combines everything I love: the relationship between form and design, nature, fine craftsmanship, color and texture. I like the wet clay stage best: the rawness and true nature of the material exposed and the wonderful, supple way the forms feel in my hands." Mary is delighted when she sells a piece of her work, as she feels that what started from an unformed bit of clay turned into a sculpture that will travel on to another person for their pleasure. 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.

CPW Warns Public, Moose Will Defend Their Young Aggressively
Since early June, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials have investigated two separate moose conflicts resulting in injuries to three people, and agency officials are cautioning everyone to be extra vigilant this time of year. Because elk, deer and other wild animals are currently rearing their newborn offspring, it increases the possibility of a serious wildlife encounter. Though most wildlife will protect their young, one of the most significant concerns for human safety is the aggressive response of a large, powerful mother moose in defense of her calves. According to wildlife officials, a major catalyst in serious moose conflicts is the presence of dogs, as was the case in both recent incidents. When people, dogs and a defensive moose interact there is a significant risk of serious injuries to humans and pets. In addition, because CPW officers will act to protect the public in any wildlife conflict, it could lead to the death of a moose. "People need to know when any wild animal injures a person, regardless of whether it is the human's fault or not, the animal will have to be put down if we can identify it," said Northwest Regional Manager Ron Velarde. "It is by far the worst part of any officer's job, but they must and will act to protect the public. It is why we strongly encourage everyone being responsible around
Huntington adds the woman was lucky the moose was not more determined to stomp on her or she could have been severely injured if the moose had stepped on her torso or head. In Jamestown, a woman gardening in her backyard on June 2 reported that a moose with two calves unexpectedly appeared and began stomping on her. Her dog had been roaming freely in the yard at the time. Another resident of the home came to help and she was injured in the conflict as well. Both sought medical attention but neither woman suffered serious injuries. "The woman and dog were in their own backyard, minding their own business and not doing anything wrong when wildlife and giving them plenty of space, especially when they have newborn off- this occurred," said Boulder County Area Wildlife Manager Larry Rogstad. spring."

Doctors treated the woman at a nearby emergency room and released her the same evening. She expressed remorse that the encounter could have led to the death of the moose. After searching the area, wildlife officers were unable to locate the animal. "When in moose habitat, expect to see a moose, whether in the backcountry or within developed areas," said District Wildlife Manager Jeromy Huntington of Granby. "Try to stay in open areas where wildlife can been detected from a distance, especially when walking with a dog. Whether the moose has young or not, the presence of a dog is more than enough to incite an aggressive charge."
react to all dogs as they would to a wolf one of their primary predators - by attempting to crush it with their hooves. Because of this instinctive, aggressive response, CPW officials recommend keeping dogs on a leash and under control when recreating in the backcountry, or consider leaving the dog at home. "In most cases the dog flees back to the owner bringing an angry moose with it, as was the case in the recent incident in Fraser," said Area Wildlife Manager Lyle Sidener of Hot Sulphur Springs. "The dog continues on to safety but the owner is unable to escape." Since 2013, CPW is aware of at least 15 moose conflicts resulting in minor to serious human injuries, including the latest two incidents. In all but two occurrences, dogs elicited the initial response from the moose. "There is a way to watch wildlife responsibly and we encourage everyone to take the time to enjoy this wonderful, natural resource," said Watchable Wildlife Coordinator Trina Romero. "But it is critical for people to learn the rules, and follow them. The main points to remember are don't feed, don't approach, don't harass and keep dogs on leashes and under control. If the animal responds in any way to your presence, you are too close." CPW stresses the importance of education to prevent conflicts. For information about what to do if you encounter a wild animal, visit the CPW website.

Holly and Sissy are two older chihuahuas that are very sweet, about 15 and nine years old. This pair was surrendered at a high kill CA shelter and it took a lot to get them to Estes to give them a new chance at life. They do great with other dogs and people and are super lovable lap dogs who are house trained. Can you help out these sweet little girls? Charles is a nine month old orange tabby. He is good with dogs and kids and also likes other cats. Charles is one cool cat! Linda is a one year old grey tabby cat. She is a tiny cat who is very loving and friendly. She would love to be loved by you! Flash is a local surrender. His family recently moved here from Florida. After a few days, they learned that Flash contracted heartworm before he moved here. Although they are able to treat it, they really need help! The treatment for heartworm takes about five months. The Pet Lodge is looking for a permanent home for him or a foster home. Recovering from heartworm in a shelter environment will be very difficult for him, if not impossible. The recovery involves keeping him calm during this five months of time. He will be good as new as soon as he completes his treatment. He is a very nice dog, he gets along great with people and other dogs and he is house trained. He is on sedatives now to help to keep him calm. Currently, he enjoys very short walks and time in the shade with volunteers. We desperately need help for him. Please don't wait for someone else, maybe you have just the right place to make a difference for him. The Pet Association is also taking care of a number of kittens and puppies which will be available for adoption very soon! Stop down to the Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue to meet any of these great pets or call 586-9282 for more information. All pets are offered through the Pet Association of Estes Park, a non-profit organization that works to find homes for stray and abandoned pets, control dog and cat populations by funding sterilization programs, educate members of the community, especially young people, about the humane treatment of animals and the responsibilities of pet ownership;

Cultural Arts Council Presents Great Blue
The Cultural Arts Council presents Great Blue, a wonderful acoustic folk duo comprised of Shirl Lawrence and Steve Kaplan. Great Blue is a musical duo using two voices, guitars and mandolin to weave a fabric of eclectic tunes that warm the heart and feed the soul. They strive to pass on songs from their musical influences, and to showcase tunes we’ve crafted ourselves. When you wake up after one of their performances, you won’t need a radio, their tunes will already be with you. Shirl Lawrence and Steve Kaplan, a/k/a Great Blue, have been singing together for more than three decades in the Hudson River Valley. They are now based in the Rockies of Northern Colorado. Their beautifully crafted music has been heard at coffeehouses and festivals as a duo, and also as members of the Hudson River Sloop Singers and the Walkabout Chorus. Audiences can count on being touched by their carefully prepared harmonies and the powerful lyrics they use to grace them with. Listeners often comment about the beauty of Shirl’s voice. Their ever-increasing number of com-
pelling and original home-spun tunes are complemented by those of Kate Wolf, Utah Philips, Pete Seeger, well-known folk anthems, old songs, and songs echoing a clear environmental message. One sailor from the Hudson River Sloop Woody Guthrie who ought to know said Steve’s “We’ll Make It to Coxsackie” truly described how it felt to be in a rockin’ Hudson River storm. This duo is now called “Great Blue” after the observant heron they often find during their kayak trips. These two kindred spirits have spent many years perfecting their musical performances among other musicians they’ve worked with or opened for. They include Pete Seeger, Kim and Reggie Harris, Joe Crookston, David Amram, Odetta, Guy Davis, Eric Weissberg Tony Bird, Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, and Sy Kahn. See Great Blue on Thursday, June 29 at 7 p.m. at Performance Park on West Elkhorn. The CAC will have concerts every Thursday at 7 p.m. through August 24. Sponsors are The CAC, Coldwell BankerEstes Village Properties, Mueller and Associates CPA and the Barrel.

Allenspark’s Hogabluesa Features BBQ, Brews, And Biffgore, Contestant From NBC’s The Voice
Do you love the blues? Are you a fan of The Voice, NBC’s hit vocal competition? Then you’ll want to go to the 7th Annual Hogabluesa at The Old Gallery in Allenspark this Saturday night from 7-9:30 p.m. This year bluesman Biff Gore, a contestant on Season 6 of The Voice, who was on Team Usher and Team Blake is the performer. “We’re very excited about Biff Gore performing at Hogabluesa this year,” said The Old Gallery Executive Director Elisabeth Sherwin. “Not only is he a great blues guitarist and singer; he’s really a great guy.” Gore got a four-chair turn on the popular 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 services at Highline Community Church.” Gore is an Associate Pastor at Highline Community Church in Denver He continued, “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.” The a father of six (yes, six!), Gore believes he 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. He’s also a very accomplished blues musician and performs often around Denver and the Front Range. The Old Gallery Volunteer Holly BeaWeaver said, “I was lucky enough to see Biff perform at Boulder’s Chautauqua Community House Theater during the Christmas holidays and was so impressed by his performance. We struck up a conversation and when I asked him to perform at Hogabluesa, a fundraiser for The Old Gallery, he agreed without hesitation.”
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 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, if you buy advance tickets. “Obviously, we need to know how many people are going to attend to we can get enough BBQ,” said Sherwin. 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 Young Artists To Perform At The Old Gallery In Allenspark

“This is such a special opportunity to experience beautiful classical music in the Rocky Mountains. The Old Gallery has exceptional acoustics and music lovers really appreciate it. Please join us,” added Sherwin. The Old Gallery is a center for community and the arts in Allenspark, just 20 minutes from Estes Park and 35 minutes from Lyons. More than 15 local artists and photographers display and sell their work there.

Update On Bestway-Painting Paint And Stain Recycle Program 2,300 pounds was collected and transported by our truck to the recycle drop off at Sherwin Williams in March. Then 14,600 pounds of paint and stain was collected and sent to Paint Care Colorado in Denver for recycling. We have another 3,000 pounds collected and awaiting for Paint Care to come pick up. All of that has come from the Estes Park area since we started our free community wide service in March 2017. That’s 19,900 pounds of paint and stain that will never go to a landfill, will never enter in our waterways, or never again be a hazard to our fragile environment. How it began. In 2015 non-profit Paint Care Colorado went into effect. A charge for every gallon of paint/stain you and I purchase is used to pay for the state’s new recycling program. We think this is a good idea, so we began collecting old paint and stain from our customers in 2016. Soon people who heard about what we were doing started calling us wanting information on what we would charge to pick up their recycles. We saw a need that was not being met, so we filled it.
We started filling up our truck. We took the recycles to Loveland and Longmont. After that first 2,300 pounds they told us to stop as we were bringing them more than they could store. So we contacted the Paint Care people to ask where we could take the recycles. They told us if we had a minimum of 400 gallons they would come to Estes Park and get them! Paint Care told us never before had a painting contractor come forward offering to help recycle paint without being a part of their for profit retail store dropoff sites. They asked us to monitor our involvement, to keep good records of costs and what we keep and re-purpose so they could build a model for paint contractors to practice in other small towns around Colorado. What a great idea! And it won’t cost taxpayers one dime! We will have another paint/stain recycle update in September. You can reach Bestway-Painting by calling 970-518-4001. We will come to you!

“Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?” Author Carmela Coyle Book Signing Xanterra Parks & Resorts is proud to announce author Carmela Coyle, author of Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots, who will be signing her books at the Trail Ridge Store in Rocky Mountain National Park Friday, June 23, 2017 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Carmela was born the same day as Dr. Suess, not the same year, in Oklahoma. Her parents moved to New York when she was two months old and her family stayed there until she was seven when they decided to move “Out West.” She has lived in Colorado ever since. Carmela has a degree in elementary education with an emphasis in fine arts, and was encouraged by her writing professor to incorporate the two mediums. Now Carmela enjoys driving her slippers down the stairs, steering into her kitchen for toast and fruit, before parking herself in her studio chair. She is married to her loving husband and has two grown children, Nick and Annie,
When Annie was four years old she came to Carmela dressed in a tutu over her overalls, mismatched socks, and a crown on her head and asked, “Mommy do princesses have to wear hiking shoes?” Then, “Do princesses have to go potty?” “Do princesses have to brush their teeth?” This gave Carmela the story line for her first published book. Join Xanterra Parks & Resorts in welcoming Carmela Coyle and enjoying her stories about her children and her life.

Nehemiah Gateway USA Raises Funds For Roma School In Albania
Nehemiah Gateway USA is currently conducting a crowdfunding campaign through the website Global Giving to raise money for a new computer lab for a school for Roma children in Albania. The campaign will run through June 31 at https://goto.gg/28165 Estes Park has been home to Nehemiah Gateway USA’s office since 2015. Nehemiah Gateway USA belongs to the Nehemiah Gateway Group, which is headquartered in Germany and does humanitarian work in 10 countries. The Nehemiah Gateway Group recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, and has received numerous awards for its successful efforts to make a difference, particularly in Albania. The Amaro Tan School, located in an economically challenged part of Pogradec, Albania, has been provides a safe place for low income Roma and Albanian children to learn and grow since 1999. Roma children in Albania disproportionately live in extreme poverty. Although 94% of Albanian children complete primary school, only 24% of Roma children do. This lack of education contributes to a 25% employment rate among adults, and children who are more likely to be begging on the streets than learning. The Amaro Tan School offers not only education but meals and so-
cial services for students and their families, helping to break this cycle of poverty. Says Nehemiah Gateway-USA President Doug Mann, “I visited this project in May of this year, and cannot stress enough what a blessing this school is to minority children who otherwise might not receive an education.� The computer lab at the Amaro Tan School is badly out of date, with computers that cannot run today’s standard software or connect to the internet. A new computer lab will provide all 140 students at the school with regular, age-appropriate access to computers and technology, bringing them into alignment with Albanian children their age. When they graduate, they will have a skill necessary for ongoing education, and required for most jobs. Some may discover a passion for technology work. Their success will bring increased prosperity to the Roma community, and, someday, allow them to provide a better life for their own children. To contribute to this campaign, through June 31, please visit: https://goto.gg/28165 If you would like to learn more about Nehemiah Gateway USA, visit our website at: www.nehemiah-gateway.us Contact: Doug Mann, President douglas.mann@nehemiah-gateway.org

Presbyterian Church Luncheon And Legacy Wow! Those of us who attended the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies luncheon, on June 11, were treated to a step back in time to the rock n'roll days of the 50s and Big Mike's soda shop. Kelley Anderson, Kathy Sherrod and the Fellowship Committee, outdid everyone's expectations. Fifties memorabilia was everywhere including a Howdy Doody doll and a pair of blue suede shoes. Elvis showed up to invite everyone to lunch. A 1955 Bel Air sat out front. The entertainment was rockin with a 50s medley, a love song "April Love" and
"Windy." The enthusiasm was infectious which continued through the Vision 2020 presentation. The five year goal to raise 1.3 million is in its 2nd year. These funds will insure perpetuity for the church. Several signed up to learn more about legacy giving from Jerry Kennell, Planned Giving Educator for EVL, the Nonprofit Resource Center. Jerry will be presenting a free, informative workshop for anyone wanting to learn more about legacy giving. The public is welcome. The workshop will be held on August 7 from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at Presbyterian Church of the Rockies. Refreshments will be served.
Recycling Update Doing What Is Right By: Judi Smith
Over the years, tax incentives have been used to encourage businesses and individuals to do the “right’ thing – even though there is often a cost. These include incentives to allow fields to lie fallow and replenish the natural minerals, to install and use alternative energy, to setup retirement savings, certain industry subsidies for job expansion, and many other aspects of life that someone determined are “good” for us. However, we as a nation have become complacent. To be “smart” or “good” or “right,” we expect a reward. And to avoid detrimental behavior, we require a penalty. Does this mean we are allowing “someone” to make our decisions for us, and forgoing personal decision-making responsibility? Last November, Larimer County dispensed with the reward for the recycling of commercial waste. While residential recycling is still free at the Estes Park Transfer Station, businesses must pay for recycling at the same rate as landfilling. So, many (not all) businesses started putting all disposables into the trash to be landfilled. Even though we admit that this is not good for future generations, we are not always willing to go to that extra effort. Each of us, business, government, and individual, must evaluate how much we are willing to invest. Changes are coming. The more we do, the longer our current circumstances will last. On the other side of that coin, there are some amazing developments coming to fruition in the industrial / technical / business world. Many companies have long been dedicated to improving and supporting our environment. Some are

environmentally based like Tesla, Terracycle and Ecocycle. Some are simply interested in ecology like ConAgra, General Electric, and Disney. What can we, as individuals, do to help? In the absence of rewards and penalties, each of us must make these evaluations for ourselves and each will set different priorities. But, it is your responsibility to understand your opportunities. Sometimes, it is surprising how little time or funds it takes to do what is “right.” Dictatorships are easy. Democracies take work. If you do not participate, you cannot complain about what is decided for you. Mayor Todd Jirsa has recently reminded us that governmental entities do not read minds. This is true at town, county, state, and, yes, National levels. If we have opinions, we must speak up. If we want various governmental levels to put certain concepts into the Strategic Plan, to fund certain projects, or to pass certain laws, we must tell them. We are lucky to have an extremely accessible and responsive local government. So call, or email, or show up in person (Trustee meetings are the 2nd and 4th Tuesday, 7 p.m. at Town Hall. County Commissioner Donnelly hosts a gathering at 9 a.m. on the 2nd Wednesday at the Senior Center). Help democracy work by letting your voice be heard. Remember the Estes Valley Fire Protection District is hosting a slash collection this weekend. For those interested in hands on participation, the League of Women Voters and Community Recycling Committee meets Wednesday, June 12, 10 a.m. at the EV Library. (Note, July only, we meet the 2nd Wednesday, not the 1st). As usual, I can be reached at RRRcyc2se@gmail.com
