Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) is considering options for improving the Fall River Entrance Station, one of two major entrance stations on the east side of the park. The entrance station is located on US Highway 34, just inside the park boundary. The current station was constructed in the 1960s as part of National Park Service (NPS) Mission 66 enhancements and contributes to the Fall River Entrance Station Historic District. Originally designed for summer only operations over 50 years ago, the once adequate facilities at the Fall River Entrance Station have exceeded their useful design life and no longer meet the safety or operational needs of the park. Due to increasing visitation and traffic congestion at the entrance and its impact on visitors and neighboring businesses, staff and visitor safety issues, as well as other operational concerns, the park is considering potential options for improving this entrance. These potential options include improving the entrance in the same location or nearby, or moving it to another location further west on US Highway 34. It is anticipated that the entrance improvements will update systems and facilities, resulting in better operations, and more convenient access for visitors. The park will be preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) and invites
public input in advance of the EA preparation. The public scoping process has begun and comments are invited through August 14, 2017. The EA will analyze a range of alternatives to meet project objectives, and will evaluate potential effects on visitor experience and park resources and values. The EA also will identify mitigation measures to lessen the degree or extent of potential effects on natural and cultural resources, visitor experience, and park operations. The park is hosting a public meeting about the proposed project on Thursday, August 3, at the Dannels Fire Station Meeting Room, 901 N. St. Vrain Avenue, Estes Park. This will be an opportunity to express ideas, concerns, and recommendations about the potential improvements and have questions answered. There will be a short presentation at 6:15 p.m., and park staff will be available to answer questions until 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to visit at any point during the scheduled time to review materials and provide written comments. Park staff encourages public participation throughout the planning process. There will be two opportunities to comment formally on the project – one starting now during initial project scoping and again following release of the EA. Comments received during the scoping period will be used to help define the is-
sues and concerns to be addressed in the EA, while also assisting with analyzing the different alternatives. Comments must be received in writing by close of business on August 14, 2017. Comments can be submitted at the public open house described above or online by visiting: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/romo. Look for “Fall River Entrance Improvements.� Comments may also be sent to the following mailing address: Superintendent Rocky Mountain National Park Estes Park, CO 80517 Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment – including your personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. Although you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee we will be able to do so.

Officials Tour Flood-Repaired Roads And Structures Larimer County Commissioner Tom Donnelly, Colorado Senator Cory Gardner and officials from the Colorado Department of Transportation today toured U.S. Highway 34 that was damaged by the 2013 flood. The tour gave a first-hand look at repair progress on many of the roads, bridges and structures since federal funding was secured from Congress in December, 2016. Funding for these projects came from the Federal Highway Emergency Relief program. Without the funding, it could have taken up to 20 years to repair all the roads and bridges damaged by the flood. “I enjoyed the opportunity today to tour
was available to the state of Colorado to finish the project in a timely manner.� U.S. 34 between Loveland and Estes Park was heavily damaged in the flood, cutting off a vital link between northern Colorado, and Estes Park, plus the many homes and small communities also connected to the highway by other roads. The new repairs to the highway include a design which makes the highway more resilient to withstand future flooding. Also, where possible, road widths have increased and sharp curves have been reduced. The highway and its secondary roads are a critical economic link between Colorado’s Front Range, the Town of Estes Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park. “Due to the diligence of Senator Gardner and the rest of our Colorado Congressional Delegation, the residents of the Big Thompson Canyon and Estes Park will finally see

Larimer County Presents 2017 Environmental Stewardship Awards The Board of Larimer County Commissioners, and Environmental Science and Advisory Board honored eight individuals/organizations Monday for their outstanding work with Environmental Stewardship in Larimer County at the 21st annual Environmental Stewardship Awards. Including this year’s awards, 82 individuals or groups have been recognized since the program began in 1995. The awards are given to individuals, businesses and groups that have committed to engaging in activities that exemplify outstanding stewardship of the environment. The award winners for 2017 are: • Elkhorn Creek Forest Health Initiative for wildfire risk mitigation in Elkhorn Creek. The goal of the Initiative was to reduce the risk of high-severity wildfire and lessen the potential for post-fire impacts to Elkhorn Creek, a tributary to the Poudre River. • Estes Land Stewardship Association for noxious weed management in the Estes Park area. Since 2007, the Estes Land Stewardship Association has been promoting responsible land stewardship with volunteers through community based noxious weed management in the Estes Park area, through publications, community outreach events, weed pulling events and public displays. • Heather Knight for The Laramie Foothills Project --- Campbell Valley erosion control; Poudre River Ecology Project; and North Fork Weed Co-op. The Roberts Ranch Campbell Valley Project involved the stabilization of 17 miles of side channels and 3-miles of the main-stem of Campbell Creek. The Poudre River Ecology Project began in 2002, when Heather became concerned that students in her area were losing contact with the land. In response she developed a science curriculum called PREP for the “Mountain Schools” in Livermore, Stove Prairie and Red Feather Lakes. The North Fork Weed Co-op project was a citizen based initiative to control invasive weeds. Heather brought together residents from the area, who worked together to manage noxious weeds on their properties. • Robert Trout for the Loveland Initiative for Monarch Butterflies With the loss of milkweed, Monarch butterflies in Larimer County have declined. Bob has partnered with the Walt
Clark Middle School in Loveland to grow milkweed plants for distribution and planting around northern Colorado. Bob is also working with Larimer County Natural Resources to plant hundreds of milkweed plants within the County Open Spaces. • Robert Johnson and CATS – Colorado Addicted Trail Building Society for trail work and trail-building. Bob Johnson leads a very productive volunteer trail building group called CATS (Colorado Addicted Trail Building Society). They volunteer each week from spring into late fall building soft-surface trails throughout Northern Colorado. • Colorado Native Plant Society for the Elkhorn Weed Mitigation and Study Project The Elkhorn Weed Mitigation and Study Project is a cooperative effort between the Colorado Native Plant Society, the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest, the Larimer County Weed District and Shambhala Mountain Center. The project involves studying the best methods for controlling sulphur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta), a noxious weed with a limited range in Larimer County. This project promotes native plant conservation through education about the threats that noxious weeds pose. • Doug Schwartz for the Greyrock Commons Natural Areas For over 20 years Doug has pursued a City of Fort Collins Natural Areas certification for the 5-acres of open space near Greyrock Commons co-housing he has been managing. This natural area is used by the 30 families that live at Greyrock, as well as local neighbors and visitors, and wildlife in the area. • Doug Ryan for Service as Staff Facilitator on the Environmental Science and Advisory Board Doug was the Staff facilitator for the Environmental and Science Advisory Board for 10 years (2006 to 2016). He was very well liked by the ESAB members who said he had a ready grasp of a very wide range of environmental and science issues. Doug had good political sensitivity about working collaboratively across organizations and had a large network of contacts both inside and outside the County structure, which helped him greatly in his work with the Board. He was always good at engaging the group in discussion, and had a great work ethic. He worked hard for the ESAB, and in doing so, assisted Larimer County in its own Environmental Stewardship!

River Spruce Cabins Recognized As “Business Bright Spot” The Estes Park in Bloom steering committee presented the “Business Bright Spot” award to River Spruce Cabins July 7. The committee presented a traveling sign for the property, a window cling and a framed certificate of recognition to managers Becky and Jim Moors. The designation of a “Business Bright Spot” recognizes a business that places emphasis on beautifully maintained landscapes, floral displays and a tidy store front. Hotel Estes received the first designation of 2017 on June 23. The committee will award the next “Business Bright Spot” July 21. The program will continue every other Friday through the month of September. To nominate a business, please contact Keri Kelly at 970-577-3782 or kkelly@estes.org. River Spruce Cabins, located 2334 Colorado Highway 66, is owned by Shelley Powers and Wendye Sykes, and managed by Becky and Jim Moors. The Moors
have managed the property for the last four years and have done extensive work to the grounds. In an effort to keep guests and wildlife safe, they removed existing hummingbird feeders and planted a garden to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The grounds feature many hanging baskets, window boxes, a redwood memorial bench and various wildflower beds. The Moors recently built a greenhouse on the property where they overwintered numerous geraniums used throughout the grounds. Their goal is to create a quaint setting for guests to relax and renew their spirit. To learn more, visit www.riverspruce.com.

Estes Park Extension Salvation Army Honors Outgoing Officers The Estes Park Extension Salvation Army honored Wayne Andersen at a July 13 Board meeting for 17 years of faithful service as Board Treasurer. “Not surprisingly, Wayne also presided over his final meeting as a member of the Board in April,� said Stephanie Whitfield, immediate past president of the Board. “It is typical of Wayne to step up and do whatever needs to be done right up until the day he retired from his volunteer service with the Salvation Army.� The Board also honored Whitfield for five years of service as Board President. Whitfield isn’t concluding her service with the Salvation Army Board however, as she agreed to the daunting task of succeeding Wayne Andersen as Treasurer. In addition to Whitfield’s service as new Treasurer for 2017, and Ray Leaycraft’s continuing service as Secretary, the Board elected Captain Corey Pass as President, Gordon Slack as Vice President, and Rev. Dr. Tim McLemore for the newly created position of Disaster Coordinator. Pass, who was promoted to the rank of Captain in the Estes Park Police Department in 2013, earned a bachelor of science
degree in criminal justice with an emphasis in police administration and management and a master’s degree in organizational leadership with an emphasis in change management. “I am humbled and honored at the opportunity to help lead this Board and to work with the fine people who have served our community through the Salvation Army for many years,� Pass said. The Estes Park Extension Salvation Army consists entirely of volunteers who serve as Board members, help with special projects such as the annual Christmas Kettle Collection, and offer assistance in our community during times of emergency or disaster. Last year, working in cooperation with Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park, the Estes Park Police Department, and other local groups, the Estes Park Extension Salvation Army helped to provide more than $40,000 in emergency assistance to residents and others in need in the Estes Valley. For more information about the Estes Park Extension Salvation Army, contact Captain Pass at 970-577-3828.

Give Long And Prosper Did you know that people who give live longer? I am absolutely certain there is a study proving this! True or not, you can do things today to make sure your love for the Estes Valley lasts forever. Monday evening, August 7, 6:30-8:00 p.m., at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, Estes Valley Legacy presents Give Long and Prosper. This hands-on workshop shows you how to provide enough for you, enough for your family and enough for the future of this heaven on earth called Estes Park. Here’s what Estes Park residents Ginger and Ivan Wilkinson have to say about workshop presenter, Jerry Kennell: “We spent approximately one
hour with Jerry Kennell, EVL Representative, as he explored giving options, goals and tools for giving. This encounter has motivated us to consider modifications to our will and to have discussions with our children as to how they may be impacted by our decisions. We hope our example will encourage you to also evaluate your position in relation to the Legacy giving."
It’s so easy not to bother. And the government loves it. They have a plan for your legacy if you don’t have your own. So come on out – in fact, show up at 6:00 p.m. for light refreshments provided by our hosts, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue. And the coolest thing is, we can guarantee you’ll have a parking spot on a lovely summer evening in Estes Park! Register today at: www.epnonprofit.org Estes Valley Legacy is a collaboration of 17 of your favorite local nonprofits, pooling resources to offer the public education and free confidential estate gift planning services. EVL is a program of Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center.
Celebrate! Last Friday, July 14, 2017, the Mayor and Town Trustees, along with the many people that contributed to making the new 4 level parking garage a success, cut the ribbon to officially open it to the public. Try it out!
Free Much And Compost Available Mulch and compost is available at the Town's property at 666 Elm Rd. The mulch is mostly woody material with some pine needles, which works for holding moisture around trees and other hardy vegetation. Also available at no cost is excess compost from last year's grass clippings and annual plantings. The site will be open for self-service Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. until all materials have been claimed. No staff or equipment will be available to assist with loading or handling. Dumping of storm slash, pine needles or other materials is prohibited. By recycling this material, taxpayers will save approximately $500 for each dumpster load that would otherwise be hauled off and place in the landfill. For more information, please call the Town of Estes Park Parks Division at 970-577-3783.
Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com When I was a wee one I came down with mumps. Feverish and weak, I tried to lift my head from the pillow but couldn’t do it. My head was too heavy for my swollen neck. We don’t hear much about mumps anymore—thank goodness. Indeed, I don’t hear much about a lot of things, thanks to mumps. One day after I recovered from the virus, the telephone rang—the old-fashioned kind that was attached to the wall and had a coiled cord between the base and the handset. I answered it but no one was there. I handed the phone to my mom, who proceeded to carry on a chatty conversation with Mrs. Clapp on the other end about her newfangled dishwasher that she could roll up to the sink, hook up with a tube to the faucet, touch the on button, and then go iron the sheets. Later, like magic, she had clean dishes without getting dishpan hands. A few such telephone incidents and my parents knew something was awry. Turns out, when I had mumps my temperature got so high it sizzled away the nerve in my ear. I was forevermore 100 percent deaf in my right ear. My mom took me to the university’s speech-language and hearing center for extensive testing and all parties agreed to wait and see how I got along before taking any kind of corrective action. I was an overachiever when it came to being half deaf. I learned to read lips. I answered, usually in the affirmative, when I thought someone asked me a question. (i. e., Teacher: “I said chapter seven. Who told you to read chapter eleven? ” Half-deaf me: “Yes. ”) I pretended to hear what people said when in reality, I didn’t have a clue (i. e., Half-deaf me: “I got a new camera that doesn’t require flash bulbs! ” Hearing person: “Groovy! What kind is it? ” Half-deaf me: “It’s 12:30. ”) I studied American Sign Language. I diligently used an earplug to protect my “good ear” when I was anyplace where we had to shout at each other to be heard. This has served me well. When I was tested recently for new hearing aids, I learned my good ear functions above average. My brothers accused me of faking my deafness. “She can’t understand you when you’re face to face but she can hear every word when you’re whispering about her in the other room. ” “I heard that! ” I said from the other room. I adapted and so have the people around me. I know I have a friend when she instinctively scoots to my right side, which is my left side, so I can hear her when we walk and talk. I can turn my head 180 degrees—like an owl—to hear someone whisper to me from my wrong side, and I have learned to laugh for the hundredth
time when I explain that I’m deaf in one ear and the person I’m talking to says, “What? ” Hilarious. Because I can only hear in one ear, any sound from afar seems like it came from the left. This makes bird watching impossible: In the unusual case I hear a songbird from the trail, I turn to the left—because that’s where the sound came from, scoping the high tree branches for movement. When my hiking partner says, “There it is!” she is usually pointing in the opposite direction. I’ve wondered if my lack of an internal compass is due in part to not being able to hear equally from both sides of my head. On the flipside, so to speak, one-eared deafness comes in handy when I’m trying to sleep. While two-eared people may be kept awake by noise in the bedroom (such as the high-pitched beep of a smoke detector with a low battery), I simply roll onto my side with my left ear against the pillow. This effectively muffles any distractions so I am able to quickly drift off into dreamland, leaving someone else to deal with the smoke detector. Last week I was walking back to my office after lunch when I heard someone call my name. I stopped walking and looked around, turning in a circle with my left ear cocked, scanning the crowd nearby for a familiar face. I heard my name again, so I spun around faster, looking everywhere, shrugging my shoulders to communicate that I couldn’t tell where the sound was coming from. “Over here! ” someone yelled, as if that helped. “I can’t tell where you are! ” I called out loudly, feeling foolish as I whirled like a dervish. Then, out of the corner of my eye (do eyes have corners? Oh, never mind. We’re talking about ears, not eyes.), I saw a young woman running toward the voice. I watched as Sarah hugged the guy who’d been calling out to her. There I was, alone on the sidewalk, turning in circles, hands out and palms up, calling out to no one, “Where are you?” If I saw someone else behaving so, I would point a finger at the side of my head and twirl it around in little circles. Cuckoo, I would say. In this case, I stood still, dropped my hands and looked around to see if anyone had observed my antics (like we do when we trip). I smiled meekly, waved to Sarah and her friend as if I knew them, and continued on my way. Not cuckoo, just deaf in one ear.

Auditions For “Crimes Of The Heart” August 11 & 12 The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies announces auditions for Crimes of the Heart, a play in three acts by Beth Henley. Auditions will be held at Hempel Auditorium, YMCA of the Rockies, August 11, 2017 at 6 p.m. and August 12, 2017 at 9 a.m. Performances are October 13-15 and 20-22. Those auditioning are asked to prepare a two minute monologue and be prepared to cold read from the script. A perusal script is available at the desk at the Estes Valley library. Anyone interested in auditioning who cannot attend either of the open auditions should contact Director, Susan Henshaw at circa54@gmail.com. The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly out-
grew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast, while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by the priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. The cast: Lenny Magrath, the oldest sister Chick Boyle, the sisters’ first cousin Doc Porter, Meg’s old boyfriend Meg Magrath, the middle sister Babe Botrelle, the youngest sister Barnette Lloyd, Babe’s lawyer The script indicates that the characters are in their late 20s and early 30s.

The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies is sponsoring a two week summer camp in Estes Park for youth on July 17th through July 28th. Students auditioned in April for parts in Shrek the Musical, JR. The 26 young actors and 4 members of the technical crew will present the beloved story of the large green ogre. The actors under the direction of Lisa Mann will participate in acting and team building exercises and rehearsals. With the help of Mike Young, the technical crew will recreate the swamp and the kingdom where the story unfolds. The lovely story is based on the ani-
mated film of one very grumpy ogre who lives alone in a swamp. When the conniving Lord Farquaad expels all the fairy tale characters from his kingdom, Shrek is forced on an adventure with many interesting characters including the rather unorthodox Princess Fiona. There is great humor and spectacular musical numbers in this play making it good family entertainment. The production will be held at Estes Park High School on Saturday, July 29th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, July 30th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are available at Macdonald Book Shop and online at www.fineartsguild.org Adults are $10.00 and children under 18 are $5.00. There is also a Family Four Pack for $25.00.

Silent Film Fest Features Chaplin This week’s silent films features the biggest star of the silent film era, Charlie Chaplin. Sir Charles Spencer “Charlie” Chaplin was born in 1889 in England. He became a worldwide icon through his screen persona ”the Tramp” and is considered on of the most important figures in the history of the film industry. In 1916, Chaplin signed a contract with the Mutual Film Corporation that paid him $670,000 a year, making him at the age of 26 one of the highest paid people in the world. Scott Wilseck, who accompanies the films on the old theatre piano says, “Before I got involved with silent films, I thought it was all pies in the face and guys slipping on banana peels. As I watched the Chaplin films, I realized how great he was at communicating moods and emotions without the use of sound. At times, his facial expressions say more than words. He was a master of getting his point across on the screen without the spoken word. He’s been a favorite of silent movie fans the past years in Estes Park. On Friday, July 21, at 5 p.m., the Historic Park Theatre will be showing “The Adventurer,” “The Count” and “The Rink.” In
Arnold and Jowayne Johnson are celebrating their 55th Anniversary. This happy couple got married on July 23, 1962. Happy Anniversary!
“The Adventurer” Chaplin plays an escaped convict who poses as a member of elite society with hilarious results. In “The Count” he is a tailor’s assistant who crashes a party posing as a nobleman. “The Rink” takes Chaplin from a waiter to a roller skating rink with many humorous moments. The skating scenes are both athletic and funny. A gifted
skater, Chaplin did his own roller skating scenes. The Silent Film Fest takes place every Friday in July and August at the Historic Park Theatre. Attending the films will give movie goers a chance to be entertained in a manner similar to those almost 100 years ago. The films begin at 5 p.m., but live old time piano music begins the entertainment thirty minutes before the films start.

July “Explore Our Store” Showcases The Art Center And The Studio Fine Art & Framing
This month’s “Explore Our Store” took place on Wednesday, July 12 and featured two stops in Lower Stanley Village: the Art Center of Estes Park and The Studio Fine Art & Framing. Representatives from the Visitor Center staff, the Ambassadors, Estes Valley Partners for Commerce, and Visit Estes Park all enjoyed learning about and exploring the galleries. The group’s first stop was the Art Center of Estes Park, located at 517 Big Thompson Avenue, #245. Gallery manager Vickie Mastron was there to welcome the group and share a bit about the gallery’s history and current offerings. The Art Center, a 501c3 non-profit, started in 1987 – yes, that means they celebrated their 30th anniversary in May – in the very same building it is in now. It has always featured local art and currently features work from about 40 artists – half from Estes Park, half from the Front Range. Vickie’s first interaction with the Art Center was as a participating artist in 2004, and then became the gallery manager in 2010. Guests of the gallery can read about each artist in their large “About the Artist” book, which includes bios, photos, examples of work, and more. One artist is selected (through a formalized process that includes submission of 3-5 original pieces) to be the Featured Artist, and their work is shown in the north part of the front room. The current Featured Artist is Anne Sneary! The Art Center also focuses on education they consider it a very important component of their mission statement - and host many multigenerational classes in the room adjacent to the gallery. Just about every medium is shown in the gallery, from pastel to oil to jewelry to ceramics to photography to fiber… Everything! The Art Center of Estes Park is also home to extra bronze pikas (the same as the Pikas in the Park, which are placed around downtown), made by sculptor Mike Dwyer. The gallery is open 10am-5pm daily (with limited days in the winter) and you can learn more about classes, shows, and the Art Market at www.artcenterofestes.com. The next stop was just up the road at The Studio Fine Art & Framing, located at 541 Big Thompson Avenue. Owner Greg Miles and his welcoming committee, Zeke the dog, had the front door open and welcomed in the group. Greg moved to Estes Park in 1997, lived here
for 7-8 years, then moved to Texas to take care of his dad. Five years ago he returned and started “The Studio Frame Makers” in the lower level of the Remax Building on Graves. He moved to his current spot two years ago and at that time, used the space to add a gallery. Greg has been a painter for 20 years and started framing his own work early on because it was expensive to have professionally framed. He loves art, especially local art, and is a founding board member of the Estes Arts District. Currently, he is showing artists including KC Benson, Julie Taylor, and himself, as well as many others for a total of 15. Greg also utilizes a space just three doors down for extra gallery room, and opens it up especially for First Fridays. The Studio Fine Art & Framing is truly a working studio – Greg frames in the back room using the standards set forth by the Library of Congress, and he focuses on a meticulous process and unique vision for all of
his clients. Greg works with all budgets and styles, really customizing his work for the art and taste of each person. Be sure to stop in and hear one of Greg’s great stories, including how he has a painting in the Louvre in Paris… Learn more about the Studio Fine Art & Fram-
ing on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TheStudioFineArtandFraming. Thank you to Vickie and Greg 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 9:30am. The next event is August 9 at Once Upon a Hive and Liz & Jo’s. 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.

Monday Artisans Market July 24th Featured Artisan, Bryce Kauffman

This weeks featured artisan for the Monday Artisans Market is Bryce Kauffman. His beautiful illuminated sculptures reflect the joy and spirit of his creativity. Bryce is a sculptural fiber artist. His one of a kind, illuminated paper sculptures are a must see. They are creative, large and brighten up any room. The technique, the colors and the unique texture and form, make his work intricate and beautiful. The natural world provides both inspiration and material for his art. His sculptural fiber pieces offer a focus for reflection and connection with each one of a kind piece. Bryce Kauffman is from Maryland. He then spent seventeen years in Boston, attending college and creating art. Bryce is now established in Estes Park, Colorado for the last five years. He studied paper making, sculpture, & performance art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts. Bryce uses the skills and techniques he perfected while in college, to create illuminated handmade paper sculptures. These one of a kind sculptures come in the forms of abstracted trees, fungi and flowers. Bryce’s illuminated paper sculptures start with an armature wire or driftwood base structure. Driftwood pieces are attached to or around a natural stone, or piece of slag glass. Once the base structure is in a form of a tree, flower or fungi, it is ready to be coated with paper. Paper
sheets are formed by passing a mold and deckle through a vat filled with a mixture of water and paper fiber. Excess water is pressed out of the newly formed sheet of paper, then that sheet of paper is glued to the base structure. Bryce then allows the paper to dry onto the structure. This process is repeated until the illuminated section of the sculpture is covered in paper. A coat of wax is applied to the sculpture, to preserve the paper and seal the driftwood. The sculpture is then wired to accept a light source. Bryce has exhibited internationally as well as nationally. He has been working on the illuminated paper sculptures for the past fifteen years, and his work continues to evolve. The illuminated paper sculptures are intended to have dual lives, one during the day and one at night. 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. We are located at the Riverside Plaza, formerly known as the George Hix Riverside Plaza, downtown, 10:00 - 5:00. Stop by, say hi, meet the artisans, see their labor of love, and hear their story

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com I hope y’all had a wonderful 4th of July. I had to leave shortly after the rodeo parade (did you see me on the 1948 dump truck that looked like a dog?) to visit and celebrate my older sister’s 95th birthday. I was happy to see her and her two children and their families. I stayed with my daughter and we went to her “camp” on Grand Isle, Louisiana. I call it a camp but most people would consider it a privilege to call it their home. It is raised because of the chance of hurricanes but that is the only thing that would qualify it as a camp. I love going there and going on one of Ed’s (son-in-law) boats to fish. Ed’s avocation is the camp and fishing, he is a petroleum engineer and lawyer. But, this time of year is purgatory because of the heat. The camp is air conditioned but the gulf isn’t! We went fishing out in the gulf and all I caught were sharks. Thank goodness they all broke the line. But Ed and the others racked up on red snapper and trout. Thank goodness no one depended on me supplying dinner. Then Ed, using his cast net, caught 50 pounds of huge shrimp right on the beach at Grand Isle. I came home with an ice chest of fish and shrimp. But I also spent a day peeling and de-heading those shrimp so…no sharing! Juliette, my sister, lives on bayou Lafourche in the little town of Larose. It is on the way to Grand Isle. We would go to visit often when I was younger. My father and mother would pile me in the long (60 miles on one lane highway) and hot ride for a Sunday outing. We were always welcomed by the large 300 year old live oaks as we drove down the long driveway to “Jot” (Juliette) and Louis’ home. Those are such fond memories. Coming home to our lovely weather after suffering the heat of Louisiana, all I can think of is preparing something cool and refreshing. We all know how to make lemon bars because I gave y’all that recipe long ago. How about a little change of pace and make some lime bars. They are essentially the same recipe as lemon bars but have such a different flavor.
Lime Bars Preheated oven – 350
Cookie crust: 1 cup butter (good butter) ½ cup powdered sugar 2 cups flour 1/8 tsp salt Lime filling 4 eggs, lightly beaten 2 scant cups sugar 6 Tbs. flour ¼ plus 2 Tbs. fresh lime juice (or bottled lime juice) 3 tsp. fresh grated lime zest (or less to your taste.) Powdered sugar to top bars Cut in the butter, salt, and sugar into the flour and press into a prepared (greased) 13 x 9 baking pan. I use my food processor for this. Bake the crust about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. To make the topping: Whisk the eggs and sugar together until well mixed and light and fluffy. Slowly add the flour and mix till blended. Add the rest of the ingredients and pour onto cooled crust. Bake about 25 minutes until set. Cool on rack and dust with powdered sugar when the bars are completely cooled. Cut into squares or bars. You may have noticed I stressed good butter. It can be salted or unsalted but it must be a good brand. My next article I will share my woes of baking with butter that apparently had large water content. Until then I give you my latest rhubarb report. I have had so much that I have supplied at least five other people with my crop. Now I have to let it rest to refresh and grow some more. I cannot understand how some people cannot grow the stuff. Mine grows on the north/east corner in decayed gravel which we call dirt in Estes. There is never any extra water, nor is fertilizer ever given those poor darlings. Sunshine has not let me out of her sight since returning home. She is such a sweet and loving companion. My email is esther. cenac@gmail.com Bon Appétit.
Program On The New Era Of Electric Vehicles
A program on mankind’s new era of electric vehicles will be held on Wednesday, July 26th at 7 p.m. at the Estes Valley Library, Hondius Room. This 60 minute program will answer questions about EV's and to schedule test drives. Want to learn about the future of transportation and what your next car will likely be now or in the near future? As part of a free library presentation, Tesla Model X and Nissan Leaf owners will be available to answer your questions. Don't worry, we've heard them all and there are
no dumb questions! What do you mean you can plug your car into a wall outlet?! Where's the gas hole and tailpipe? What's the range? Do you suffer from range anxiety? How many miles per gallon? How do you charge it and how long does it take to charge? How much does it cost (both vehicle and charging)? What are the current Xcel, state and federal incentives? What if you want to go to Vegas? Can you go 70+ mph on the highway? Does it actually save money vs. gas at $2/gallon? What about oil changes and maintenance? Isn't it just a giant golf cart? What's a 'frunk'? Is Chad really an Emo or what is CHAdeMO...? And many more.

LEARNING TO FORGIVE I was sitting at my ‘office’ (this time at McDonalds) when a friend stopped by and asked what my topic for the article was this week. I explained that I hadn’t decided yet. He said, “Forgiveness. You need to write about forgiveness!â€? We talked some more and, here I am, writing about forgiveness. Thanks, Steve. As I thought about this topic a chapter written by one of my favorite writers, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, came to mind. In his book, Spiritual Depression: It’s Causes and Cure, he had a great chapter about ‘That One Sin’. He wrote powerfully about the fact that one reason people are depressed is because of a haunting memory of one sin or failure that they just can’t seem to get over. That sin or failure may be one they committed in the past that they can’t get beyond‌resulting in long term guilt and shame, or it may be a failure or sin in which someone wronged them, a failure they just can’t seem to forgive, resulting in bitterness and grudges against that person. Either one, the failure to forgive ourselves, or the failure to forgive someone else, can cause us a great deal of pain and a resulting loss of joy. We must learn to forgive. We need to forgive ourselves. Years ago a college student shared that he had, for years, felt horrible about a time when he was a youth. Sitting on a bank alongside a railroad track he threw a rock at an Amtrak train‌not intending to hurt anyone. However, the rock hit the window of a dining car where people were eating dinner. He said, “The rock broke the window and I think I saw blood!â€? Of course the train went on and he never knew ‘the rest of the story’, but he had carried that guilt for years. Now, as he was getting ready to embark on his life’s career, he needed to deal with it. He needed to forgive himself. We talked often and he gradually moved on and became a very successful adult. How about you? Have you forgiven yourself of things you did in the past? You will probably experience on-going depression and lack of joy, unless you have‌until you do. The same thing can happen when we hold onto wrongs that have been directed toward us. At the same college was a young lady that shared a time years before when she had been sexually abused by a family friend. She had told her parents, who then told her that it was probably her own fault...and did nothing to the offending person. She carried the guilt and shame, along with hatred for the person who had wronged her, up to that day that she shared her long kept secret with a female counselor and me. We were able to work with her through many painful sessions until she could finally, first, realize that the fault was not hers‌she was the victim‌and, second, to, after voicing her anger and hatred toward the guilty party‌and her family for their misplaced ‘abuse’ of her as well‌and to forgive them, knowing that this would be necessary if she was to move on. She did‌ successfully, and matured into a beautiful and successful adult. In the Bible a couple of people who wrestled with forgiveness come to mind. Paul, who later wrote much of the Bible, had ‘held the garments of men who stoned Stephen’. He later called himself ‘the chief of sinners’, but had forgiven himself, because he knew that God had. In the Old Testament, Joseph, was badly treated by his brothers, the wife of Potiphar, and others. However, he realized that ‘that God had used it for ‘good’. All these moved on‌once they learned to forgive. And so can we. God bless. Bob

Cultural Arts Council Presents “Tribute To Folk Music Legends” With Elk Hollow
The Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park presents the local musical group Elk Hollow in a “Tribute to Folk Music Legends IV”, Thursday, July 27, at 7:00 p.m. in Performance Park. There is no cost for admission, but freewill donations will be accepted to help fund programs of the Cultural Arts Council. The concert marks the fourth annual “Tribute to Folk Music” presented by Elk Hollow, featuring Gary Reeves and Jack Overly on vocals and guitar, Dmitri Galcovski on violin, and Dr. Tim McLemore on electric bass and backup vocals. The radical folk singing movement began in the 1920s and by the 1930s was associated with social movements that carried on through the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Key figures in this early period included Pete Seeger, Lead Belly, and Woodie Guthrie. Seeger and The Weavers, a quartet he founded in 1948, were particularly instrumental in bringing folk music to widespread mainstream audiences, creating what is now known as the folk music revival and ultimately inspiring such other performers as Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul, and Mary, The Kingston Trio, The New Christy Minstrels, Brothers Four, and many others. Elk Hollow has appeared in numerous venues in the Estes Valley during the past 20 years. The group especially enjoys participating in benefit concerts to support local organizations and scholarship needs for Estes Park students. Gary Reeves has been associated with the arts in Estes Park for many years, appearing in Fine Arts Guild productions of “The Wizard of Oz,”, “Oklahoma,”, “South Pacific,” and “The King and I,” among others. Gary, who often donates his time and talents to perform for area organizations, has composed a number of original songs. Jack Overly is a singer/songwriter who has performed in many local produc-
tions, including “Estes Park Sings”, “It's Showtime”, and others. He also donates his time organizing a wide variety of local groups to help with benefits for area charitable organizations. Many of Jack’s and Gary’s compositions are included on their CD. Dmitri Galcovski, a graduate of the Chisinau Music Academy of the Republic of Moldava, is a skilled concert violinist who studied violin with Lidia Dolinskaia at the Rachmaninov Music Lyceum in Chisinau. He graduated from the Academy of Music and Arts in 2007. During his studies, which also included a Master Class with Professor Neeman (Royal Academy of Music, UK), Galcovski won the gold medal at the Luxembourg Festival of Young Musicians. Dr. Tim McLemore is Executive Director of Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park. His first career was as a professional musician, including four years with U. S. Air Force Bands in Shreveport, Louisiana, and in the Panama Canal Zone, as well as playing solo piano six nights per week while earning his Master of Divinity degree in Dallas. His primary instruments include piano, guitar, electric bass, and clarinet. Come prepared to sing along with Elk Hollow during this special “Thursday Night Live” program featuring special songs from more than 15 folk music legends. The Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park is celebrating its nineteenth year of presenting outdoor music. The shows are sponsored by the CAC, Coldwell Banker Estes Village Properties, Mueller Pye and Associates CPA, and The Barrel. Freewill donations from our audience are much appreciated and help keep our programming thriving. Bring along folding chairs, blankets and umbrellas and be prepared for a wonderful night under the open sky.

One Book One Valley: “And The Winner Is.....” By: Laurie Dale Marshall, Adult & Teen Services Librarian
First, the nominations were made. Then five finalists were announced. Then the voting commenced. And now the suspense is over. Almost. It’s just one short week until the Estes Valley Library announces the winning book to be featured as this fall’s One Book One Valley selection. And to give this occasion its due, we are inviting the community to a Book Reveal Party on Friday, July 28 at 6:00 p.m. at the Library. We’ll start the evening off with some light refreshments and treats. And we’ll enjoy conversation about some of our favorite books. The evening’s presentation will begin at 6:30, as we re-cap the process that led to this year’s nominations, which were chosen by local book clubs. You’ll take away some great book recommendations in the process. And of course, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the announcement of this year’s title, chosen by our community. Afterward, you can take home a copy of the book to read. We’ll have some fun along the way. The anticipation, akin to an awards show, has in-spired our faux red-carpet theme. Of course, gowns and tuxes are not required attire. Unless you want to join in our whimsy, then by all means, costumes are welcome. We are thrilled that One Book One Valley is making its welcome return this October. This annual literary celebration invites our entire valley to share in the reading and discussion of one single book, as we embark together on a jour-

Estes Park Learning Place Tutoring At Boys And Girls Club Learning Place tutors provided fun learning activities in reading and math three days each week in June for youth attending Boys & Girls Club. Thirty-one students who will either be in first or second grade in the fall attended the tutoring sessions which were designed to help students maintain skills and learn new skills. Leanne Lauren and Judy Ross planned and provided literacy opportunities twice each week for ninety minutes. Their main objectives were to keep children reading throughout the summer, and to reinforce phonics skills they learned during the school year. Additionally, children chose books each day to keep for their home libraries. Books were provided by donations to the Learning Place from spring book drives in Larimer
County and Macdonald Book Shop. The Estes Valley Library’s summer reading incentive program, Build a Better World, was incorporated in activities tutors planned for students. Time was built in each day for students to read for enjoyment and then document that time on their Summer Reading Program log. Once students completed three hours of reading, they were awarded a prize provided by the library. Nineteen children attended Boys & Girls Club frequently enough that they received their first prize in June. During the last thirty minutes of class time, tutors built upon the Build a Better World theme. Fun, hands-on activities were used to reinforce learning: Build a Better World by Being Yourself enabled participants to get to know one another through writing, drawing and sharing. Build a Better World by Being Green activities included making boats using recycled materials and planting seeds. Build a Better World by Being Kind included a Compliments Game involving beanbags, as well as making Kindness Fortune Tellers. Build a Better World by Being Healthy showed children how to be healthy through exercise
Patagonia: Land Of Wild And Rugged Beauty The popular weekly Our Wonderful World series continues this Monday, July 24, with a presentation by Richard Lyon on the Patagonia region. Sponsored by the Estes Valley Library, the presentation takes place at 7:00 p.m. at the Estes Park High School Auditorium at 1600 Manford Avenue. Patagonia covers the southern portion of Chile and Argentina. Its tip, from the Straits of Magellan southward, is called Tierra del Fuego. The region is home to exotic wildlife, including penguins, rheas, and guanacos. Richard Lyon, a traveler who has explored seven continents, will present highlights of his trip that spanned from the “End of the World” (Ushuaia) to rugged Mt. Fitz Roy, while also visiting Patagonia’s major national parks: the Glaciers and Torres del Paine. For more informa-
tion about this summer’s full Our Wonderful World schedule, visit estesvalleylibrary.org. A full listing of this summer’s series is also available in print and online inside the Library’s program and services publication titled “Gatherings.”
as they jumped rope to rhymes they had learned, and by making a healthy snack to enjoy. Beverly York and Kathy Granas provided math reinforcement and extensions one time a week for ninety minutes. Their goals were to help students retain skills they had already learned, as well as to introduce skills students may be learning in the fall. The activities incorporated various age/grade level appropriate math concepts. Skills that were practiced included counting, writing numbers, even/odd numbers, place value, geometry (shapes), money and fractions. Students practiced skills using playing cards, jumping ropes, m&m’s, and interactive games. As a culminating activity, students created placemats with various math references.

Be A Hero! You Can Help Save The Lives Of Flash And Carla! Flash and Carla have heartworm. Heartworm is treatable and is not contagious. Both young dogs are well into their treatments, but the most dangerous period of their treatments looms near. In mid-August, and again a month later, Flash and Carla will get injections to kill the adult heartworms that are living in their hearts. As segments die and slough off into the bloodstream, the dogs must curtail all activity to avoid fatal pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). Flash and Carla are currently living in 3 x 6 kennels. When volunteer walkers, who visit twice daily, or kennel staff, who feed and clean for the dogs, enter the kennel area, Flash and Carla jump and bark and practically do handstands and backsprings in their excitement to see their friends. These two wonderful dogs will not be able to survive their treatments in that type of environment, even though they are all there to care for them. Each dog needs to go to a tem porary foster home for the duration of the treatment, or to an everlasting home, a quiet home without distractions, where (s)he can be cuddled, loved and cared for. They need those homes soon! After the end of October, they can be dogs again. But they have to survive until then! Please step forward and apply if you think you have the kind of home one of these dogs so desperately needs. Nothing special is required, except a quiet environment
with no excitement. Foster parents will need to give their dog meds and go to some appointments but the Pet Association will pay for it all. To meet one of these nice, friendly, good dogs, stop at The Pet Lodge at The Animal Medical Center on Manford Ave. or call 970-586-9282. Thank you.

Get Your Play On, Estes Park Park and Recreation Month is winding down but there are still plenty of fun activities on the calendar. Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) wants you to keep getting outdoors to discover the power of play at your local parks and recreation facilities. An initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Park and Recreation Month has been celebrated since 1985 to highlight the vital and powerful role local parks and recreation, such as EVRPD, play in conservation, health and wellness, and community involvement. This week, EVRPD recommends these outdoor activities: - Play at the park with the kids: For Friday, July 21, take the kids to the playground. EVRPD offers several playgrounds around our District including a large one at Stanley Park. It is a great way to get outside, get some activity into a day, and enjoy some family time. - Doggie play time. On Saturday, July 22, take your best canine friend to the dog park. Dogs need exercise and play time too so take your dog(s) to the Estes Valley Dog Park so your dog can also enjoy a summer afternoon in Estes Park. - Weekly photo contest: Starting Sunday, July 23, post your photo of your family and friends in their best light in Estes Park on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/evrpd).

Fundraising Semi Pro Soccer Game In Bobcat Stadium, August 12 Soccer is a sport played across the globe. It is an entertaining sport of pure athletic skill mixed with a unique problem solving mentality. It is a very unique athlete who plays the game, those who live the sport are true success stories. Estes Park has a strong soccer program at the school level even though there is not a soccer field in Estes Park. The Middle School & High School Soccer programs both share the football field at Bobcat stadium, often displacing practices so other sports can use the field. Yet there is a melting pot of soccer athletes in the area, especially in the summer months. A perfect place to develop a strong soccer player. Erick Dominguez lives and works in Estes Park, he attended Estes Park High School and played on the soccer team. In fact, Mr. Dominguez still holds the record for the most goals scored during his time at EPHS. After high school, family duties forced Erick to work instead of going on to college and possibly playing the game further. That didn’t stop him from living for the game. He traveled to Longmont, Loveland, Ft. Collins, Boulder & Greeley to play on club teams. He pushed his limits to live the game. Erick Dominguez is a unique athlete, he plays for the love of the game. He is also a very smart athlete, he knows when there is a unique opportunity to challenge his skills. This past season Erick Dominguez signed a contract to play for a newly developed Colorado UPSL (United Premier Soccer League). The league is for adult soccer athletes to develop skills for professional play. Statistically there is a higher percentage of professional soccer players recruited from these leagues than
from traditional options used in other sports. These are your semi-pro soccer athletes. One of Estes Park High School’s alumni has now signed on for his second season of play with FC Greeley UPSL Men’s Team. On August 12, 2017 - The EPHS Men’s Soccer Team is hosting a fundraising event at Bobcat Stadium. Mr. Dominguez and the FC Greeley team will play FC United in Bobcat Stadium at 7 p.m. ‘This exhibition game is a great start to the EPHS Men’s season, they will be exposed to great mentors and talented athletes, who will show them how we can push our level of play on our own field!’ states Coach Marshall (EPHS Men’s Coach). ‘For the town of Estes Park and it’s visitors, Semi Pro Soccer in Bobcat Stadium! The team invites you to rock the stadium as we celebrate the success of Erick Dominguez as a Semi Pro Athlete.’ Tickets are available pre-purchase for $7 adults & $5 youth. At the gate, $9. The team is also looking for sponsors to help cover expenses and raise funds for the 2017 EPHS Men’s team. The team is very young this season, they would like to attend team building events like the low ropes at the YMCA and continue their development with out of season camps from coaches like Lance Williams (who coaches FC Greeley UPSL Team). Contact Coach Marshall at 970-214-3861 or annettelmarshall@yahoo.com for more information- follow EPHS Men’s Soccer on Facebook at the group - Estes Park Soccer Cats. Let’s pack the stadium in support of Alumni Erick Dominguez and the EPHS Men’s Soccer Program.

Weed Roundup This Saturday! The 10th annual Estes Park Weed Roundup will be held this Saturday, July 22 from 9:00 a.m. to noon located north of the Waste Management transfer station (across from Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ) at 666 Elm Road. From Hwy. 34 & 36 intersection, take Moraine Ave./Hwy. 36 for 1.2 miles toward Rocky Mountain National Park. Turn right on Elm Road and follow the signs. Are you interested in learning about weeds in the Estes Valley and wanting to dispose of your noxious weeds for free? The Estes Park Weed Roundup is the place to do all of this and more! You can get your unknown weedy plants identified, learn how to get rid of those pesky weeds on your property, and pick up other educational materials about invasive plants. Estes Park Master Gardeners, Larimer County, and RMNP experts on noxious weeds will be available to answer questions, and identify weeds and native plants. Bring in your weeds – no slash, pine needles, trash – in paper yard bags for free disposal. Participants will receive a free 30 gallon paper lawn bag for future weed collection. The Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) will also be hosting a monitored weed drop-off on August 26 and September 23 from 9:00 a.m. to noon at 666 Elm Road. Due to abuse and misuse, the unmonitored weed drop-off offered by the Town of Estes Park during the last two years has been discontinued due to misuse by dumping trash and other materials. Paper bagged noxious weeds will only be accepted during monitored events. Unauthorized drop-offs at this location are considered theft of services. Weeds and trash can be disposed of year-round at Waste Management for a fee. No bags of non-weed materials will be accepted at these events. Paper lawn bags are available for purchase at local hardware stores. Come learn about weeds that you may have on your property that
can increase the fire danger around your home, or may be poisonous to your animals or family members. Keep in mind if you’re trying to rent or sell your property, prospective homebuyers are becoming savvier about noxious weeds, and may not want to inherit a property full of troublesome weeds. Check out www.estes.org/weeds for an electronic version of the Fourteen Very Unwanted Weeds in the Estes Valley weed booklet. Also learn about the state, county, and municipal ordinances regarding noxious weeds. Free printed weed booklets are also available at the Estes Valley Library year around, and seasonally at the Farmer’s Market, Little Libraries, and other events. As good stewards of your land, learn about native plants and get rid of the invasive plants! The Weed Roundup is sponsored by Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA), Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary, Village Thrift Shop, Estes Park Master Gardeners, RMNP, EP News, and donors to ELSA. For more information about ELSA contact us at elsa.weeds@gmail.com or attend our meetings held at 9:30 a.m. the first Thursday of the month in the George Hix Room at the US Bank.

Restorative Justice Golf Tournament August 12 Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership is seeking sponsors and players to participate in its 6th Annual Golf Tournament on August 12, 2017. The tournament will be held at the 18 Hole Golf Course, with an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start. Cost is $80 per golfer which includes green fee, cart, practice balls and 19th hole after party catered by Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ. Golfers will participate in a 4 person scramble format utilizing the Peoria scoring system. New to this year’s tournament are hole in one contests sponsored by McCaddon Buick GMC of Longmont. These contests will be on each par 3 hole, including a chance to win a Buick Encore on hole number 10! For those who are not hole in one golfers, many other contests will be offered with great prizes for winners. Various levels of sponsorship are available for businesses and individuals. Sponsor signs/banners will appear at hole and green locations, registration, special contests, and drink carts. Sponsors will also be acknowledged in the tournament brochure, after party and thank you letters sent to local new outlets. Those interested in sponsoring or in playing can contact Melissa Westover at 970-577-3929 for more detailed information. This fun event raises funds to support the efforts of Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership. The initial program, Community Group Conferencing, first began in 2002 as a response to juvenile crime, but has since expanded to accept adult cases. The process brings offender, victim and community together to identify the harms that have occurred and to develop a contract for the offender to complete, that repairs those harms. If the offender completes their contract in the specified period of time, the offender has no criminal conviction on their record. All conferences are facilitated by trained
volunteers. In 2006 EVRJP began offering the Community Circles Program to assist those who are entering into our community from incarceration. The purpose of this program is to provide a circle of community members around the person coming out of prison (Core Member) to provide support and accountability for one year. Two volunteer Circle Keepers run the weekly circle meetings. Restorative Community Mediation and Facilitated Conversations began 2014, is designed to provide an opportunity for individuals and groups to work out differences and conflicts without utilizing the court system. Two trained mediators facilitate a process for citizens to identify harms that have take place and then develop an agreement based on agreed upon repairs to those harms. The services may also be utilized to proactively work through problem areas before conflict arises. In 2014 EVRJP and the Estes Park R-3 School District began a partnership to assist students to build skills around selfesteem, reliance and healthy relationships. Student Support and Accountability Circles assist students who are in danger of entering the criminal justice system or dropping out of school. Girls Circles are, curriculum-based and cover topics relevant to being a teenage girl. Boys Council works to develop leadership skills and strong positive relationships, while promoting safe and healthy passage through pre-teen and adolescent years. All school circles are facilitated by EVRJP volunteers. Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership is a hybrid organization between the Estes Park Police Department and a 501c3. All contributions are tax deductible.

Diversify Your Investments … But Consolidate Your Providers You have probably heard that diversification is a key to investment success. So, you might think that if diversifying your investments is a good idea, it might also be wise to diversify your investment providers – after all, aren’t two (or more) heads better than one? Before we look at that issue, let’s consider the first half of the “diversification” question – namely, how does diversifying your investment portfolio help you? Consider the two broadest categories of investments: stocks and bonds. Stock prices will move up and down in response to many different factors, including good or bad corporate earnings, corporate management issues, political developments and even natural disasters. Bond prices are not immune to these dynamics, but they are usually more strongly driven by changes in interest rates. To illustrate: If your existing bond pays 2 percent interest, and new bonds are being issued at 3 percent, the value of your bond will fall, because no one will pay you full price for it. (Of course, it may not matter to you anyway, especially if you planned to hold your bond until maturity, at which point you can expect to get your full investment back, providing the bond issuer doesn’t default.) Here’s the key point: Stocks and bonds often move in different directions. If you only own U. S. stocks, you could take a big hit during a market downturn, but if you own domestic and international stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit and other types of investments, your portfolio may be better protected against market volatility, and you’ll have more opportunities for positive results. (Keep in mind, though, that even a diversified portfolio can’t prevent all losses or guarantee profits.) So, it clearly is a good idea to diversify
your investment portfolio. Now, let’s move on to diversifying financial service providers. Why shouldn’t you have one IRA here and another one there, or enlist one advisor to help you with some types of investments and a different advisor assisting you with others? Actually, some good reasons exist to consider consolidating all your investment accounts with one provider. For one thing, you’ll keep better track of your assets. Many people do misplace or forget about some of their savings and investments, but this will be far less likely to happen to you if you hold all your accounts in one place. Also, if you have accounts with several different financial service providers, you might be incurring a lot of paperwork – and many fees. You can cut down on clutter and expense by consolidating your accounts. But most important, by placing all your accounts with a single provider, possibly under the supervision of a single financial advisor, you will find it much easier to follow a single, unified investment strategy, based on your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. You won’t get conflicting advice and you’ll receive clear guidance on important issues, such as the amounts you can afford to withdraw each year from your retirement accounts once you do retire. Diversification and consolidation – one is good for building an investment portfolio, while the other can help you invest more efficiently and effectively. Put the two concepts together, and make them work for you. Derek Vinge and Jane Schoen are financial advisers with Edward Jones Investments. They can be reached by telephone at 970.586.9078 or email derek.vinge@edwardjones.com

Jena Griswold, Former Estes Park Resident, Launches Campaign For Colorado Secretary Of State
Democrat Jena Griswold announced she's running for Colorado Secretary of State on Wednesday, July 12, 2017. Jena went to Estes Park schools and graduated from EPHS. She is the daughter of Reva Levey of Estes Park. Griswold, 32, an attorney, was a member of the Obama campaign’s 2012 voter protection team. She was tapped by Gov. John Hickenlooper to open and run an office representing the state of Colorado in Washington, D.C. Last year, she returned to Colorado to work as an advisor at the state’s Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. She currently operates the Denverbased government relations firm Griswold Strategies. “Jena plans to build a more transparent government by making it easier to see big money’s role in our elections and by supporting a law to require presidential can-
didates to release their tax returns to get on the Colorado ballot,” her campaign said. “She will also make the Secretary of State’s Office a resource center for new businesses and entrepreneurs.” See more about Jenna at coloradopolitics.com/democrat-jena-griswoldlaunches-campaign-colorado-secretarystate/ or go to www.jenaforcolorado.com/

Information From The Elizabeth Guild And Lizzie’s Boutique To The Editor: Not everyone knows that 90% of the folks that work at Elizabeth Guild and Lizzie’s are volunteers. Also, most people aren’t aware of the things that Elizabeth Guild (and Lizzie’s) will and will not take as donations. Examples of items we WILL accept • Clean, gently used clothing • Accessories • Housewares • Small appliances • Collectibles • Sports Equipment • Musical Instruments • Art • Medical Aides and more‌ Items we WILL NOT accept • Torn, soiled or damaged clothing • Mattresses/mattress tops, feather pillows • Large appliances (dishwashers, large built in microwaves, stoves, etc‌) • Large furniture, TV’s, printers, monitors, • Un-repairable or brokenequipment/tools/appliances including broken electronics • Toys smaller than a quarter or with small pieces (due to risk of choking), car seats • Anything that is evident it should be thrown away. Please be sure to call the store before bringing anything in question at 970-
586-7205. For over 45 years, volunteers have put in endless hours of time working at both Elizabeth Guild and Lizzies, with one goal in mind, to raise money for the purchase of equipment and supplies for Estes Park Medical Center. Examples of equipment include, but are not limited to: Oncology IV pumps (via proceeds from Paint Estes Pink), CT and MRI machines as well as others. Through the hard work of these volunteers, over $4 million dollars has been donated. Donations are gladly accepted daily Tuesday through Saturday from 10am3pm at Elizabeth Guild. Frequently, there are items that are left overnight on the front porch of the thrift store and many times these are things that the store cannot use and should have been thrown away or disposed of. Unfortunately, as a result, the thrift store has to take on the expense disposing of these items, which in the long run, reduces the profits we are able to provide to the hospital. It is very important that the public understand what we can and cannot take for donations. We thank you for taking time to review this list and consider it when you are dropping things off. Your donations are sincerely appreciated, so help us make what counts, count the most. Sincerely, Elizabeth Guild Board of Directors and Manager, Gayle Lively
Potent Strings By: Derald DeYoung
Conductor and Music Director JeanMarie Zeitouni brilliantly continues past Music Director Michael Christie’s fresh and innovative programming at this summer’s Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra’s performances sponsored by the Estes Park Music Festival. This concert was at the Stanley Concert Hall last Monday evening. Summer music festival programming can often rely on the established classics of orchestral literature that many are familiar with. Not so on Monday night’s first program of this all too short two concert series. Zeitouni gave us an intriguing program of seldom heard 20th century music for string orchestra. Prior to the concert he spoke eloquently about this program as he directed our listening to the many ways composers have found to vary the string texture to provide different sound colors. The program began and ended with pieces for strings only by the English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams and the German composer Richard Strauss. The live acoustics in the Stanley Concert Hall amplified the string sound into a lush, rich and ravishing sonority. This hall was a great chamber for bringing out the best of the string orchestra’s vibrant sound. The Vaughan Williams’ “Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis� was played with love and contained many subtleties of phrasing and texture. When the full string orchestra swelled to its full strength the room vibrated with an overwhelming resonance. The same sonic experience was had in the final piece for string orchestra, “Metamorphosen� for 23 Solo Strings� by Richard Strauss. Composed at the end of his long life at the age of 81 in 1945, it was a farewell at the end of World War II
to culture and life as he knew it. It was like a philosophical statement in sound, complex and richly ornamented variations in dense counterpoint. And yet, the music spoke eloquently and powerfully. It was an unusual ending to the program, but a poignant one. Conductor Zeitouni was impressive for conducting this long complex score from memory. The middle of the program featured pianist Stewart Goodyear in the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No 1. The accompaniment was scored for string orchestra with a solo trumpet. The solo trumpet, a virtuoso part in its own right, was brilliantly played by the orchestra’s principal trumpeter, Jeffrey Work. This is a whimsical and quirky piece with many unexpected turns of phrase. The solo piano part requires a virtuoso of the first caliber, which Stewart Goodyear proved to be. Another shorter piece for piano and orchestra followed, the “Young Apollo� by English composer Benjamin Britten. This was a fanfare for piano and string orchestra also impressively played by Goodyear. Interestingly, both of these piano pieces were premiered with their composers as the piano soloist. The concert was enthusiastically received by a standing ovation for both the soloists and the orchestra. The next and final performance of this outstanding orchestra will feature music inspired by popular and jazz music, entitled, “Classically Jazz� on Monday July 31st. Derald DeYoung is Professor of Music Emeritus from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich. where he taught for 27 years. He also taught at St. Olaf College and Lawrence University. He holds degrees in music from Lawrence University, Eastman School of Music and the University of Minnesota.

SnowyGrass Music Festival This Saturday, July 22 Second Annual SnowyGrass Music Festival Saturday, July 22 One year ago, Candice Mohr, of Snowy Peaks Winery, wanted to throw her customers a party and say thank you for 10 years of serving Estes Park her excellent wines.

Rolf Frederick Dehmel Rolf Dehmel of Estes Park, CO, died of natural causes on Wednesday, July 12, 2017. He was 81 years old. Rolf was born in Buffalo, NY, to parents Rudolf and Agatha Bredemeier Dehmel. He grew up in Wauwatosa, WI, where he was a state champion swimmer in the back stroke in high school. The family spent summers at Elkhart Lake, WI, where Rolf refined his swimming prowess. He attended Lawrence University in Appleton, WI, graduating with a B.A. in Economics and matriculating to the US Air Force in 1957, where Rolf served as an officer for four years. He met Mary Lee Craig while serving in the Air Force, and they were married on Cape Cod in September 1960. Soon afterward, Rolf earned his M.B.A. at Harvard Business School, and landed a job as a marketing executive at the Scott Paper Company. Rolf and Mary Lee (Lee) settled in Philadelphia for the next 30 years, raising their three children, Cindy, Craig, and Mark in Media, PA. Rolf worked for various corporations, including National Liberty Insurance, Ridge Homes, Evans Products, and Capital Holdings while in Media as a marketing executive journeyman. From 1972 onward, he and his family spent their summers at Coxton Lake, in Northeastern PA, an idyllic place where Rolf enjoyed his family, as well as pastimes, running, swimming, golfing, sailing, refinishing antiques, and a daily sunset canoe ride with Lee. Rolf was an avid triathlete in his 50s and 60s, competing in numerous events yearly, while training year-round. He had a beautiful singing voice, which he refined as a member of “The Men of Rose Valley” and the Reformation Lutheran Church Choir in Media, PA. When Rolf retired in 1997, he and Lee
moved west to Estes Park, in Northern Colorado, near the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. In Estes, Rolf became an active member of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, where he was on the vestry and sang in their choir. On his pastor’s recommendation, Rolf began volunteering at Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park, where he helped organize and sell donated goods to raise money that helped provide for families in need in Larimer County. He volunteered at Crossroads for over 15 years. Rolf also sang with the Oratorio Society for most of his years in Estes Park and worked on the Library Foundation for six years. During the Estes years, Rolf and Lee travelled the world, while splitting time between Estes Park, Coxton Lake, and Palm Desert, CA. Rolf was a devout Christian, dedicated community volunteer, devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend, and an all-around good person. He lived a good life. Rolf is survived by his wife, Lee Dehmel, daughter Cindy Dehmel Ufer and husband Robert Ufer of Fort Collins, CO and their children Kate and Cara Ufer, son Craig Dehmel and wife Suzanne Dehmel of Los Angeles, CA and their children Chloe and Vienna Dehmel, and son Mark Dehmel and wife Katie Dehmel of Encinitas, CA and their son William Dehmel. There will be a memorial service at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Estes Park on Friday, August 11, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider sending donations in Rolf ’s memory to Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park, CO and/or St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church.
