Community Service Officers Begin Summer Service In Downtown Estes Park The Estes Park Police Department’s Community Service Officers (CSOs) are at their posts for the summer. These hardworking seasonal employees serve as ambassadors in the downtown corridor.

This year the CSOs will be focused on the Elkhorn Avenue intersections with Riverside Avenue and Moraine Avenue, aiming to keep pedestrians out of intersections between walk cycles and cars out of intersections during walk cycles. During times of extremely heavy vehicle traffic, they will be seen directing traffic as necessary to ease congestion. In addition, CSOs will be on foot patrol, enforcing parking regulations and assisting sworn officers.

Estes Park’s CSOs for 2016 are: Tasha Hess is a returning CSO. She was born and raised in Estes Park. She is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice at the University of Northern Colorado. She aspires to be a

Trail Ridge Road Opens For The Season Saturday, May 28 Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park opened at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 28.

Due to melting snow on the road during the day and freezing temperatures at night, visitors should plan for icy conditions, particularly during the early morning hours. Trail Ridge Road historically opens on Memorial Day weekend; last year the road opened on May 29. The earliest the road has opened was on May 7, 2002; the latest June 26, 1943.

Because weather conditions may change rapidly, park visitors should be prepared to adjust travel plans accordingly and are encouraged to call the park’s Trail Ridge Road recorded phone line at (970) 586-1222.

Scott Ponds Natural Area Dam Modifications To Take Place This Summer Dam modification work at the Scott Ponds Natural Area is expected to begin mid- to late- June, pending approval from the funding agency, Colorado Office of Emergency Management. All work will take place Monday through Friday over an approximately two-month period, with occasional work on Saturdays possible.

No road closures are anticipated as a result of construction, however there will be closure of the pedestrian trail in this area during construction to maintain safety around the construction zone. The Town has received final environmental clearance and final approval of the design documents by the State Engineers Office.

At its May 24 meeting, the Estes Park Town Board voted to proceed with the construction to restore the ponds to their approximate current configuration in accordance with current dam safety regulations. Construction will include rebuilding of the upper dam and regrading of the lower dam to safely convey storm runoff.

American West Construction, LLC will perform construction with construction management services to be performed by

Cornerstone Engineering.

Scott Ponds Natural Area dam modification work was originally expected to begin early November and conclude by midMarch, 2016. However, due to funding constraints, high bids and tight deadlines, the project was halted and the ponds drained to a safe level until such time that permanent, compliant improvements could be installed.

During the 2013 flood, the lower dam at Scott Ponds Natural Area was breached.

The Colorado Office of Emergency Management awarded the Town a Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery to fund the project. During the initial design phase of the project, Town staff considered the extensive public feedback received, including residents' desires for consideration of wildlife habitat, fishing, birding and other recreational opportunities, natural aesthetics and property values, and reduced risk for flooding.

Senior Services At The Estes Valley Community Center Frequently Asked Questions 1. How are the Town of Estes Park and its Senior Services Division involved in the Estes Valley Community Center (EVCC)?

The Town of Estes Park is a supporting partner in the project, as its Senior Services Division will be operated at the EVCC. Because the Estes Valley Recreation and Parks District (EVRPD) is the EVCC project/facility owner, facility decisions are made by EVRPD. 2. How is the Town involved during the EVCC planning process?

As the facility owner, EVRPD takes the lead in planning for the facility. The Town participates in the design process as it relates to the space and programming needs of Senior Services, guided by the 2013 Senior Center Master Plan. A reflection of extensive research and community input, the Master Plan outlines the facilities and space necessary for Senior Services to meet current and projected customer needs.

3. How will Senior Services be managed once the EVCC is constructed?

The Town will continue to manage its Senior Services Division as it has in the past, leasing the facilities from EVRPD. The two

organizations will have an agreement outlining the use and operations of the Senior Services facilities within the EVCC. 4. How is the Town helping to fund the EVCC? In 2014, voters approved a one percent sales tax on goods sold in Estes Park from 2014 to 2024. About $5 million (25 percent) of this revenue is earmarked to assist in the construction of the EVCC including facilities that fulfill the needs of the Town's Senior Services Division.

5. If I need information about Senior Services, who should I contact?

Please contact the Town of Estes Park's Senior Services Manager, Lori Mitchell, at 970-577-3765. Learn more about Senior Services at www.estes.org/seniorcenter.

6. If I need more information about the EVCC or I have comments or questions about the EVCC design process, who should I contact?

Please contact EVRPD as the owner and leader of the EVCC project. Updates will be provided by EVRPD and posted to www.evrpd.com. You may also contact the EVRPD staff at 970-586-8191.

Attention Quilters!

The Estes Valley Quilt Guild meets on Wednesday, June 8th at 6:45 p.m. We meet at Good Samaritan Village, 1901 Ptarmigan Trail. If you would like to come early, 6:30 p.m., you will have time to catch-up with friends. We are excited to welcome this month our speakers, Wendy Bermingham and Christine Perrigo from the Denver Metro Quilt Guild.

The program is “Modern Quilting.”

Modern quilts are primarily functional and inspired by modern design. Some of the characteristics of a modern quilt include: use of bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space and alternate grid work. The Denver Metro guild members worked together to create a “modern” quilt. The quilt won an award at the 2016 Quiltcon and was one of 30 chosen for the modern section of the International Festival in Houston. The quilt is now in a traveling show, was featured in the Quiltcon Magazine and Vol.

4 of Simply Modern. To learn more about “modern” quilts, join us on the 8th.

Wendy began quilting 25 years ago.

Quilting has always been a big part of her life, creating cherished friendships, jobs in quilt stores, an opportunity to teach and a long-arm business. Until two years ago she was mainly a traditional quilter. When she moved to Denver she found the Denver Metro Quilters and modern quilts. Christine started quilting 13 years ago making baby quilts. She has always designed her own quilts and had a hard time following a pattern. Christine is also a long-arm quilter. She had an award -winning quilt in the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival, Quiltcon in 2015 and a group quilt at Quiltcon 2016.

The Guild is always glad to welcome guests. If you are visiting in Estes Park, you are encouraged to attend for a donation of $10. This donation helps us cover the costs incurred for guest speakers.

Please remember, there is still a detour in place.

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 970-577-0900.

Dunraven’s Early Check-Out This Saturday bring your instruments, bring your songs, play some music, have some fun!

Estes Park Hotel would have been open to One of the persistent rumors attached to Join the Fun Every summer guests. 1878 is the only logical Lord Dunraven's Estes Park visits in the 1870s and 1880s was that he entertained women other than his wife, and on at least one occasion, was kicked out of his own hotel for the ruckus it caused.

Proving or disproving a claim of cheating on a spouse would require court documents or private correspondence and diaries, and would not be the kind of thing mentioned in newspapers of the time, except accidentally. Claims about eviction from a hotel are easier for the everyday historian to approach, and would need to satisfy a few simple requirements right off the bat, such as: (1) The hotel in question has to be built, and (2) The hotel in question has to be open, in order for someone to be "kicked out of it.”

Dunraven's Estes Park Hotel was constructed in 1877, so obviously, any of Dunraven's visits prior to 1877 would not provide him with a hotel to be forcibly removed from. As well, the great majority of Dunraven's Colorado trips, both before and after 1877, occurred in the winter, when the hunting was best and the Estes Park Hotel had long since closed for the season.

However, one visit, in the early fall of 1878, overlapped a portion of the time the

year to advance as "the time Dunraven was kicked out of his hotel" if one wants to acknowledge potential human foibles and speak sensibly on the topic.

Digging deeper into newspapers, one might search forward for indirect evidence of an alleged altercation, such as replacement of a hotel manager the following year.

Or, one could search backward, for example, after summer resident and teller-oftall-tales Al Birch provided an actual name years later of the famous individual whose supposed complaints about Dunraven's behavior got Dunraven removed from his own hotel. Was this alleged incensed VIP ever in town?

"Checking Out The Earl of Dunraven's Early Check-Out" is the topic of this Saturday's (June 4) Estes Park Archives program, beginning at 1:00 p.m. in the clubhouse at 840 Moraine Avenue. The one-hour lecture is free of charge, as are the refreshments that follow. Estes Park Archives programs are open to visitors and summer residents alike. Reservations are not required, but for more information, visit the website at eparkhives.com or call 970-586-6333.

Next Old Timers Breakfast June 11 Andy Anderson came to Estes Park on June 6, 1935 for a summer job. Fifty years later in the 80s, his wife Marty, cofounded (with Erma Crowley and the Cliff Johnson’s) what is now called, “The Old Timer’s Club.”

For the past thirty-one years, the Old Timers have met every other Saturday at 10 a.m. for breakfast at various restaurants. Membership has grown from the original four to thirty-five with over a hundred deaths or move-aways in between. For over ten years, we have stayed with The Other Side Restaurant for exclusive rights to their Aspen Room.

To qualify for membership, an Old Timer was a business owner or resident in the time frame from 1910 through 1960.

As these numbers slowly declined from natural attrition, their children filled in the gaps. Consequently, the membership

stayed at the same level which is as it should be since most of them were born here. They are our “Younger Old Timers.”

In 1998 Don Bowen suggested that we have one day each spring as a homecoming. Invite all of our alumnae wherever they may be and surprisingly, the turnout was over 80!

In 1999, over 100 attended. June 11 is this year’s date and they will have the main dining room at The Other Side Restaurant ready at 9 a.m.

With this information, we are asking you to join us and, more importantly, to contact anyone who might want to experience a nostalgic homecoming with old friends. We order off the menu and pay as you leave. Obviously, we need a count for the restaurant. Please call 586-3828 to make your reservation.

We look forward to a great celebration!

I got the nicest surprise at my final CRC meeting as Chair. I received not one, but two plants. The larger one will look very nice as a focal point for our office on our new conference table. Well, not exactly new, since it was my great grandmother’s dining table.

But the smaller plant was particularly charming due to its recycled container. I have always enjoyed a hot cup of tea, but, in this electronic age, I rarely transfer the heated water to a “real” teapot.

Therefore, I have several teapots, many inherited, most in storage, all full of memories, indispensable but rarely used and I never considered them as planters!

A teapot, as it turns out, makes an excellent container for a houseplant, particularly one that prefers to drink from the roots. The spout serves as a marvelous way to water the plant while avoiding drenching the leaves in the process. Sometime, I plan to unpack that box of teapots and perhaps even pick up

a few more at local thrift shops.

This approach, perhaps, suits my personality to a “T.” I learned at my mother’s knee, when in need of something “new to look first at what I already had and then at well-loved items looking for a new home. An old headboard graces my seven-foot desk. A roll top desk now serves as my dressing table. A kitchen hutch was converted to a bookcase and bookcases were elevated into credenzas. Outside, our planters, with built-in drainage, include two bathtubs, a commode, and my parents “Little Brown Jug” cooler from childhood camping trips. Thus, I am no stranger to repurposing.

I want to thank the League of Women Voters & Community Recycling Committee for opening my eyes to a completely new approach to the capabilities of a teapot. If you are inclined to join this creative group, we meet at 10 a.m.

Prospect Park Living Center Receives Excellent State Survey Results Retains 5-Star Rating By: Kerrie Hill, EPMC Recently Prospect Park Living Center a department of Estes Park Medical Center completed its annual state inspection by the State of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and received an excellent score with only 5 very minor deficiencies. State governments oversee the licensing of nursing homes and they have an agreement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to monitor nursing homes that want to be eligible to provide care to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. These inspections are conducted on an annual basis and are always unscheduled. The visits by state inspectors are done to assure quality of health care services provided not only the nursing staff and aides, but also ancillary departments such as engineering, dietary, and infection control. In addition, the inspectors look at other aspects of quality including, observing resident processes, staff- resident interaction, and the overall environment. Using an established protocol, the inspection team interviews a sample of residents and family members about their life within the nursing home.

They also interview caregivers and administrative staff.

The inspection team consists of trained inspectors, including at least one registered nurse. This team evaluates whether the long term care facility met individual residents needs. In addition, fire safety specialist evaluate whether a nursing home meets standards for safe construction and patient safety.

The regulations cover a wide range of aspects of resident life, from specifying standards for the safe storage and preparation of food to protecting residents from physical or mental abuse or inadequate care practices. There are over 220 regulatory standards that nursing homes must meet at all times.

Prospect Park Living Center is required to submit data regarding Medicare and Medicaid patients who receive skilled care. Information is collected about the patient’s health, how they function, the skilled care, and social, personal and support services they need as well as living conditions. This data is gathered by observing the resident and their surround-

ings, and in talking with the patient and caregivers. These quality measures provide information about how well long term care facilities provide care for their residents. The measures indicate whether a resident is able to perform basics daily activities and whether they have maintained or improved.

Once the inspection has been completed, an exit interview is completed with the staff and medical director. The report is then filed with the State of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Information is also documented on the Medicare web site – www.medicare.gov. Consumers who visit the site can now obtain detailed information about long-term care facilities.

This high standard of care and staffing was again recognized with a 5 Star Rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid program. The Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) inspects and licenses these facilities. DHSS also certifies intermediate care and skilled nursing facilities for Medicare and Medicaid. Facilities must meet additional requirements to participate in both federal programs.

The Five-Star Quality Rating System was created to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and help identify areas where consumers may have questions. Nursing home ratings are taken from the following three sources of data: health inspections, staff and quality measures.

“I am extremely proud of the entire staff that provides care to our residents,” said Interim CEO Mark Gregson. “The recent state inspection is an indication of the extraordinary care provided by all the health care providers who are a part of the team.” Congratulations to Prospect Park Living Center on their excellent survey results. They are indeed a vital part of the excellent health care provided in Estes Park and surrounding areas.

Wildlife Safe Trash Containers In last week’s article about Cindy and Bob Liddell at the Wildwood Inn, we erroneously ran the price of the BearSavers trash cans as $12,000 each. We discovered we added some extra numbers. The correct price for the BearSaver cans are $700 plus shipping and handling. Sorry for the error, we just got too excited about how cool the Liddells are for what they are doing for the wildlife.

Be Aware And Use Caution During Elk Calving Season

Elk calving season takes place each spring. During this time, female elk, or cows, become irritable and highly protective of their young calves. Though they may look harmless, like the bull elk during the rut, cows are extremely dangerous during calving season. Known calving areas should be avoided and caution should be exercised at all times during calving season.

The bird sanctuary along the Lake Estes Trail is a common place for the elk to give birth, however births can take place in any area. For your safety it is important to obey the “trail closed” signs and take a different route. Be watchful in your neighborhood and around your home.

People have been injured at their homes by walking out the door and unknowingly getting between a cow elk and her calf.

Helpful tips: • Be aware of your surroundings. Elk are everywhere and you never know when you may be near a cow and calf.

• If you see that a trail is closed during calving, obey the warning and head the other way.

• Elk are wild animals which must be observed from a safe distance to avoid

injury or death. If an animal is carefully watching you and appears “jumpy” when you move, you are too close.

• Keep pets secured on a leash and do not allow them to bark at, lunge at, or chase wildlife.

• Never block traffic. Move your vehicle to a safe place completely off the roadway to watch elk.

• Elk know no boundaries, but people do. Respect private property when viewing wildlife.

• Mule deer does can also be aggressive during fawning season, which typically occurs just after the elk calving season.

• Be sure to supervise small children near elk.

If you see a protective female elk in a public area with the potential to endanger people, please call the Estes Park Police Department at 970-586-4000.

The Estes Park Police Department does enforce wildlife laws that include laws against feeding or harassing wildlife, or allowing one’s pet to harass wildlife.

Since the original recipe called for a two inch scoop, I am estimating the cooking time as I recommend smaller cookies by using a tablespoon.

“VETERANS NEED MORE THAN YOUR THANKS” Sunday evening a guest speaker shared this message: “Memorial Day should stand for two things: Sacrifice and Gratitude”. He reminded us of the sacrifices made by so many for our freedom and that gratitude for each needs to be in our hearts each day, but especially on Memorial Day.” It was easy to focus on those two things on Monday. Throughout our community, state, and country millions were focused on these. My son, Kirby, a man who, as an Agent-In-Charge with CBI has seen his share of sacrifices and grief-dealing losses, and I watched a video: ‘Freedom is Not Free’, in which the sacrifices of so many lives and the grief shared by so many loved ones was depicted. As we watched those true pictures as Amazing Grace played, we both wept.

We wept both for those military lost and those in the police community whom we have mourned as ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘TAPS’ were played, feeling grateful for each sacrifice made and the commitment of every lost ‘warrior’ and those left to mourn them. But after Kirby…a veteran himself…left, I read an article with the above title. It was written by Joe Millsap, a officer in the marines from 2003 to 2007. His theme: ‘sacrifice’, ‘gratitude’ and ‘more’.

Joe tells about his ‘call’ to enlist. He came home to find the TV on showing buildings on fire…the Twin Towers. He shortly enlisted in Officer Candidate School. He served two deployments in Iraq as First Lieutenant on a team of Marines providing support for an infantry battalion.

Following his tour of duty, he came back with a determination to help Americans understand what returning military men and women go through, urging them to provide more than just a ‘Thank you’. Please consider his words.

“As many as 22 veterans commit suicide every day, and the risk for the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans is the greatest after leaving the military. In the Wounded Warrior Project’s 2015 alumni survey, two-thirds acknowledged having had an experience ‘so frightening, horrible, or upsetting that they hadn’t been able to escape from the effects / memory of it.’” He continues, “My friend Sean took his own life three years ago after struggling with Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder. He hadn’t been wounded…not physically. He seemed to us to be doing fine…I wish I had asked him if he was OK.” Joe’s ‘do more’ advice to us is this. “If you meet any veterans on the street, in a restaurant, or at an airport, buy them a lunch or a drink and visit with them. Thank them for their service, but do more. Ask them where they served, what they did and didn’t like about the service. Ask them about their transition to civilian life, what they need, and how you can help. Then sit back and listen.” He estimates that, of the 2.7 million veterans who have served in recent wars, at least 970,000 have recognized psychological or physical disabilities and others have hidden scars. His final words: “We’re still at war, but this time the enemy is silence, and we can’t win without your help.” Thanks, Joe. Just a final thought as we leave this Memorial Day week. We are in the process of picking a President. I would like for each of us to picture each candidate in the role of a ‘presenter’ at next year’s Memorial Day Washington celebration. Which one will make our veterans or current military feel ‘special’ and proud of serving and willing to continue to risk their lives for the ‘Land of the Free and Home of the Brave’? Vote accordingly.

CAC Summer Concert Series Kicks Off June 8 & 9 At Performance Park The 18th annual free concert series, taking place at Performance Park and sponsored by the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park begins at 7 p.m., June 8 with a performance by Estes Park cowboy, artist and musician, Ron Ball.

Ball is Estes Park's own singing cowboy; his performance on June 7 will be a tribute show to the singing cowboys of the silver screen. Ron dresses as Roy Rogers, complete with white hat, six guns, and eagle boots and spurs. Ball also sings the music of Gene Autry, Rex Allen, Tex Ritter, and others.

He was privileged to know Rogers and his son, Roy Rogers, Jr., better known as Dusty and Dusty's son Dustin Roy Rogers. Ball was honored to be invited to sing on stage with Dusty and his band, the High Riders, at the Roy Rogers Dale Evans Museum and Happy Trails Theater in Branson, MO. Ron also performed for the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo, as their soloist for the Wild West Shows as well as performing The National Anthem for many of their rodeos. Ball has performed in the Estes Valley area for the past 32 years since his retirement from the Los Angeles Police Department.

Ball also talks to the audience about the Rogers' family, the music, and the people who wrote and performed the music of singing cowboy era. He will have some of his western art and his CDs (including his newest Nashville recording) available

as well.

On Thursday, June 8, Great Blue takes the stage at 7 p.m.

Great Blue is the musical duo of Shirl Lawrence and Steve Kaplan, singing and playing guitars and mandolin to weave a fabric of eclectic tunes that warm the heart and feed the soul. Their memorable harmonies are carefully delivered to touch people by emphasizing their meaningful lyrics. They strive to pass on songs from their musical influences, and to showcase tunes they’ve crafted themselves. Lawrence and Kaplan have been singing together for more than three decades in the Hudson River Valley but 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.

Their ever-increasing numbers of compelling and original home-spun tunes are complemented by those of Kate Wolf, Utah Philips, Pete Seeger, wellknown folk anthems, old songs, and songs echoing a clear environmental message. 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.

The shows are sponsored by the CAC; freewill donations from those attending are appreciated to keep this program thriving. Attendees are encouraged to bring folding chairs, blankets, and an umbrella to this outdoor venue.

Estes Park Institute has become the Estes Park Environmental Center and is expanding its programs.

Executive Director Melinda Merrill said the change accomplished two objectives. The first was to more appropriately identify the programs and mission. The second was to eliminate confusion caused by other organizations with “institute” as a significant element in their name.

Merrill explained “the scope of our programs will be expanding and we felt like we needed to have a name that would fit our wider focus. In addition, we are evaluating some new projects that will require extended involvement and greater collaboration. It only made sense to revise our branding.”

The Environmental Center will maintain the programs and long-term relationships that have benefitted them over their four year history.

“While this is more than just a name change, we have been careful to alert our collaborative partners that nothing else will change as far as the way we work

with them on our on-going programs…”, said Merrill, “…and, actually, we think the ability to create new collaborations will benefit everybody involved.”

Under the former identity, the Environmental Center has developed comprehensive biodiversity, education and environmental monitoring programs regionally, nationally and internationally.

Currently collaborative programs involve the Rocky Mountain National Park, National Park Service, Estes Park and St. Vrain School Districts, Sister Cities through the Santa Elena Cloud Forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica and UNESCO. “We are very proud of what we have accomplished in such a relatively short time”, said Merrill, “and we’re very excited about the things we have coming up in the future.”

Information regarding Estes Park Environmental Center’s programs is available through their website at www.estesparkenvironmentalcenter.org or their office at 304 E. Elkhorn.

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

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

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

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

Registration is required.

ESTES PARK NEWS

Estes Valley Legacy Announces The Fall River Society “I have remembered one or more of the member nonprofits of Estes Valley Legacy in plans for my estate.” That is all it takes to become a member of the Fall River Society, a growing group of people committed to improving quality of life in the Estes Valley through legacy giving.

In recent years, charitable bequests have accounted for transformative gifts for local organizations like Crossroads Ministry, Salud, Estes Valley Library and others. In some cases, these gifts have given the organizations the confidence needed to build a building or add programs and services they had only dreamed of.

Estes Valley Legacy’s Fall River Society honors and recognizes donors who commit to remembering local nonprofits in this way.

At a special ceremony each year, new members of the society receive a membership certificate and a special paperweight-size stone from the Fall River, hand painted by children from Estes Park Elementary School.

Estes Valley Legacy, a program of Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center, educates donors and promotes planned and estate giving for organizations in the Estes Valley. There are currently 14 member nonprofits collaborating to effectively and efficiently provide donors with the information and support needed to make a planned or estate gift: • Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County • Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park • Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park Endowment Foundation • Estes Park Medical Center Foundation • Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center • Estes Valley Community Fund, CFNC • Estes Valley Crisis Advocates • Estes Valley Investment in Childhood

Success • Estes Valley Land Trust • Estes Valley Library Friends and Foundation • Harmony Foundation • Rocky Mountain Conservancy • The Estes Park Learning Place • YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park Center Estes Valley Legacy provides workshops, educational newsletters and confidential gift counseling and illustrations, free of charge to the public. For more information on planned or estate giving, or to become a member of the Fall River Society, contact Jerry Kennell, Estes Valley Legacy administrator at (970) 480-7703 or estesvalleylegacy@ gmail.com.

Four fantastic bands have already graced the stage at the Lazy B Ranch-The Lazy B Wranglers, Katie Glassman and Snapshot, The Darn Thirsty Cowboys (two of whom played with Tom Justin in his original Lazy B band) and a wonderful mix of our house band and the DTC, which we fondly refer to as The Darn Thirsty Wranglers.

We are thrilled to engage young, local musicians, who perform as pre-show entertainment, while guests enjoy an authentic Chuckwagon Supper, catered by Estes’ local landmark the Big Horn restaurant. Owners Michael and Daniella Kingston have exceeded all expectations in their delivery of an amazing brisket and pork combo meal, complete with baked beans, baked potato and dessert.

The Lazy B is working closely with other businesses to help promote year round activities in Estes Park. Moose Creek Western Wear has generously sponsored our musicians clothing and many local hotels, tour businesses, art and recreational organizations are working with us to keep our tourists engaged in the western heritage that makes Estes Park so unique. Lazy B is a very proud sponsor of The Windows to the West Art Show and we will continue to strive to support Estes Park as our town grows and refines itself.

The Lazy B is operating out of the historic Lodge at Elk Meadow RV Resort, 1665 Hwy. 66, Estes Park, Colorado. Open nightly through September 30th from 5:30-8:00, The Lazy B offers family friendly entertainment with a Wild West flair! Guest artists are featured throughout the season.

Our Wonderful World 10th Anniversary Season Begins June 6 Our Wonderful World is the Estes Valley Library’s armchair-travel series spotlighting extraordinary destinations from around the world! Join us as we kick off our 10th anniversary season on Monday, June 6 at 7 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse.

Ten Years of Our Wonderful World would not be possible without the generous contributions of Stan Havlick. Stan has secured entertaining presenters over the years through his Colorado travel adventure connections. As a part of Our Wonderful World’s kick-off event on Monday, June 6, please join us for cupcakes and coffee to honor Stan and the beginning of the 10th season of this library signature program.

Our first program of the season will

feature Gerry Roach and the Central American Heights. There are seven countries in Central America, or Mezzo America, as aficionados like to call the land connecting North and South America. Each country has its own personality and, of course, its highest peak. Gerry will take you on a tour of the heights and sights of this special and important region. We’ll start in Panama, then travel north through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and take a peek at Belize. The show has a surprise ending!

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

Look To Your Library: American Library Association Visits Estes Valley Library

By Marsha Yelick, Financial Programs Consultant Estes Valley Library was honored in May by a visit from Margaret Monsour, National Program Director for the American Library Association (ALA).

The purpose of her visit was to observe and discuss Common Cents for Colorado, a financial literacy initiative currently being funded by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, in partnership with ALA, through a program called Smart Investing@your Library® (smartinvesting.ala.org).

As result of its highly successful financial-literacy programs over the past six years, Estes Valley Library was selected to be the hub for a new project which has expanded the locally-designed curriculum to twelve libraries in Colorado, including Aspen, Brush, La Junta, and Vail, just to name a few.

Estes Valley Library has the distinction Cada mes de este año, la biblioteca, of having been chosen for three consec“Estes Valley Public Library” conmemora utive grants, an unprecedented honor su centenario con un tema diferente y un from a highly prestigious and competiconjunto de programas relacionados que tive national program.

Seeking Volunteers For New ELL Outreach Initiative At The Estes Valley Library Each month, as the Estes Valley Library commemorates its centennial year, there is a different theme and set of related programs that are part of this year-long celebration. One of these monthly themes, “Welcome to the USA," will become an ongoing program of the library with the goals that “New immigrants will have information on citizenship, English Language Learning (ELL), employment, public schooling, health and safety, available social services, and any other topics that they need to participate successfully in American life." If you have interest in learning more about how you can be part of this new program to reach out and provide services to immigrants and English language learners in the Estes community, we welcome you to contact Leonor Kennell, ELL Outreach Coordinator for the Estes Valley Library at lkennell@estesvalleylibrary.org or (970)5868116, ext. 836.

Marsha Yelick, Financial Curriculum Consultant, Kurtis Kelly, Project Principal, Margaret Monsour, National Program Director and Claudine Perrault, EVPLD Director.

Kurtis Kelly signed on to lead the effort.

Yelick is a retired Chartered Financial Analyst, the highest level of specialty in the financial profession, whose background as an educator informed the highly-effective program curriculum.

Kelly has had a longtime association with Estes Valley Library, both as a former staff member and now consultant, drawing upon his years of expertise with creative program planning and marketing.

What was originally only available here in Estes Park is now available in twelve additional libraries communities in Colorado and will soon be available to everyone via a website hosted by the Colorado State Library. Thanks to this grant, many more Colorado residents will have direct access to unbiased, understandable financial information.

Local residents still can benefit from Common Cents for Colorado at the Estes Valley Library. The core five-part workshop series will be offered again beginning on Wednesday, July 6th at 6:30 p.m. and continues weekly through August 3rd. The program will be presented at the Maude Jellison Library at the YMCA of the Rockies. Financial programs consultant Marsha Yelick is also available for personal one-on-one assistance through the Book-a-Librarian program. Contact Marsha for more information at 970-586-8116 ext. 831 or by email at myelick@estesvalleylibrary.org

Thanks For A Successful “Cinco de Mayo” Celebration The planners for Cinco de Mayo 2016 wish to thank the Estes Park community for making this year’s event a tremendous success. Hundreds of residents attended the annual festivities, now in its 16th year, enjoying an evening of Mexican food, live dance and music, conversation, and hometown pride.

A special “thank you” goes to Mountain Home Cafe, which served and contributed all the food for the event. In addition, the “Cinco” planners offer their gratitude to the local band Los 7 de la Kumbia, which provided a rousing performance of live music for the event.

Additional support was made possible through several important sponsors.

Families for Estes provided financial support for the third year in a row. The Town of Estes Park and the Estes Valley Recreation and Parks District both also helped make this year’s event a reality.

One of the evening’s highlights was made possible by the dancers of Ballet Renaissance, who performed a number from their special recital of “An American in Paris.” A portion of the evening’s proceeds will go toward the dance scholarship fund that has been set up in memory of Ayana Portillo, who was herself a performer with the troupe.

Much appreciation also goes to Estes Park School District R-3 for their help in hosting the event at the high school.

“Cinco” 2016 was greatly assisted by Coach Kay Hays and the Estes Park High School girls’ soccer team, who took a break from practicing to assist with staffing and serving during the celebration.

The community is encouraged to watch for details in 2017 for next year’s Cinco de Mayo in Estes Park.

Ayana’s Hope Is Growing

good-bye.” Furnish enjoyed many summers in Estes, with her parents and sister, and continued the tradition into her adult life. In Estes Furnish found a place where her spirit could rest. Moving to Estes in 2011 was a dream-come-true for Furnish who had been managing the nonprofit, Ballet Renaissance in southeast Michigan since June of 1997 and was in much need of recharging. What Furnish did not realize was the relevancy her work had in her idyllic getaway. “Ayana’s death was a wake-up call for me to become more involved helping children locally. Ayana touched my life.

She touched my heart and I knew I had to do something.”

The endowment fund idea grew from Furnish’s

new commitment. To date Furnish has received contributions totaling $6640 only $3360 from the $10,000 minimum needed to establish the fund which will be named Ayana’s Hope. Investment returns from the fund will provide ballet tuition assistance to local children, who might not otherwise have the opportunity to study ballet. “In this way Ayana’s strength and spirit will live on in the work we do to assist area children.”

Furnish and her partner, Mr. Radek Kokoszka, who are volunteers for, and financial supporters of, Ballet Renaissance, have both already given initial contributions toward the fund and plan to continue giving once the fund is established.

“We believe this is what Ayana wanted,” said Furnish.

Leo Bibler Leo Davis Bibler, born October 28, 2014, of Fort Collins, CO was granted his angel wings on May 27, 2016 while surrounded by his loving family. In the short time Leo was on this earth, he made a lasting impression on all that knew him. We will never forget his smiles, laughs and little boy giggles. He was a true little boy loving trucks of all kinds. He also especially loved his Broncos rocking horse and his favorite stuffed animal, Pluto.

Leo became unexpectedly sick and spent his final days under the exceptional care of The Children’s Hospital Pediatric ICU doctors, specialists and nurses. Also to be thanked are those who were involved in successfully transplanting his heart and kidneys to two most deserving children so that Leo may live on.

Little Leo gave us many wonderful memories and will forever be in our hearts even though there is an emptiness that will remain forever. Leo has reminded us that each day is a precious gift and should never be taken for

granted. Also he reminds us to hug and love our loved ones like there is no tomorrow.

Leo is survived by his loving parents, David Bibler and Kelly Cavallero, his paternal grandparents Tom and Barb Bibler, his maternal grandparents Chick and Patti Cavallero and Louise Cavallero, honorary grandparents Larry and Gill Pollock, great aunt and uncle Nancy Ceridwyn and Bob Gunion, his devoted uncles, Travis Bibler, Erick Ciske, Brian Ciske and Casey Cavallero, his loving aunts, Nikki Bubser and Krista Johnson, his cousins Keilee and Lauren Bubser, Gage Ciske, Tyler and Brady Smith, Laney and Delilah Johnson.

Leo was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Melinda Bibler, who is now holding him gently in heaven.

A celebration of Leo’s life is planned for Saturday, June 4th, 2016 at Allnutt Funeral Home, Hunter Chapel, 2100 North Lincoln, Loveland, CO. Visitation will be at 10 a.m. service at 11 a.m. with refreshments following.

Katherine Genette Shanafelt October 6, 1918-May 28, 2016 Katherine Genette Shanafelt passed away after a short struggle with cancer at her home in Fort Collins, Colorado.

She was born in Bridgeport, Illinois to Benjamin Theodore Ausbrook and Katherine Fredona Fletcher and joined sister Sharlee. She married Jules Harry Shanafelt January 20, 1945 and had three children, Gary and wife Christine of Bozeman, Montana, Thomas (deceased) and wife Linda of Bradenton, Florida and Kathy and husband Gene of Fort Collins, Colorado.

Katherine had five grandsons and nine great grand children.

Her husband Jules preceded her in death. She was a wonderful wife and Mom and always had a smile on her face and an encouraging word to those in need, she was an inspiration to all those around her. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends but is at home now with the Lord.

Katherine's cremated remains will be buried in the Riverside Cemetery, Dowagiac, Michigan at a later date.
