Summer Hummers!

With a body the size of a quarter and usually on the high-speed mission of feeding, it’s rare to catch a glimpse of the elusive hummingbird.

Robert Burns photographed this hummer while she was tending to her baby in the nest.

Update On Repairs To Upper SH-7 (Estes Park To Raymond)

EPNEWS.com

Drivers are now experiencing weekday delays of 10-20 minutes on State Highway 7 from Estes Park to Raymond with delays expected through October 2017; no weekend is work planned.

The Colorado Department of Transportation and ACC Mountain West began repairs on State Highway 7, from the intersection of SH 72 to Estes Park, on July 5.

The first phase, from SH 72 to Lily Lake (MP 6.3) will be done this year.

Work on Phase 1 includes installation of more than 20 culverts to carry water under the road, reconstruction of the shoulders, rock scaling, slope stabilization and asphalt paving. The project is slated to last until October 2017 with a winter construction shutdown from Nov. 15-March 15. Note: winter shutdown means shutdown of construction, not the road. CDOT wished to clarify this information due to misunderstanding.

Fire Chief Wolf Announces Open Burning Restriction Updated: 7/14/2016 Due to dry conditions, the danger of wildfire, forest, and grass fires is very high in the Estes Valley. These restrictions were based on current and forecasted fuel and weather conditions and restrictions issued by neighboring agencies.

Restricted as of July 14, 2016: ■ No open fires, including camp or cooking fires ■ Smoking in the open is not allowed, including trails, parks, and open spaces ■ No fireworks or firework displays ■ No incendiary devices, exploding ammunition, exploding targets, or tracer ammunition ■ Welding or operating acetylene or other torch with an open flame on outdoor property unless approved by the Estes Valley Fire Code Official ■ All burn permits are suspended until further notice Not Restricted: ■ Contained open fires in permanently constructed, stationary, masonry or metal fireplaces specifically designed for the purpose of combustion (fuel pile must be less than 3 ft. in diameter and 2

Illegal Campfires Increase In Rocky Mountain National Park In the past week, park rangers and fire crews at Rocky Mountain National Park have responded to three separate fire incidents. On July 13, two people had an illegal campfire along Old Fall River Road. Late afternoon July 12, a park visitor reported two people starting a fire near Dream Lake. Park visitors were issued violation notices for these illegal campfires.

On Monday, July 11, Rocky Mountain National Park visitors notified officials that they saw smoke and flames near the Twin Sisters Trailhead. The Estes Valley and Allenspark Fire Protection Districts and Rocky Mountain National Park firefighters responded to the scene. The fire was contained to a 20 feet by 20 feet area. With high winds on Monday it had the potential to spread quickly. The fire is believed to be human caused and is under investigation.

Park visitors’ awareness to report two

of these fires greatly assisted park staff.

The quick response from interagency partners made a difference in suppressing and containing the fire at the Twin Sisters Trailhead on Monday.

In 2015, with record visitation, park staff saw a significant increase in wildfires due to illegal campfires. While all fires last year were suppressed at less than 1/4 acre, each one had the potential to spread and threaten lives and property.

Rocky Mountain National Park always has fire restrictions in place.

Campfires are prohibited in the park, except within designated campfire rings in picnic areas.

In the fall of 2012, the Fern Lake Fire started from an illegal campfire. This fire burned over 3,000 acres, caused an evacuation of a portion of Estes Park and cost more than six million dollars to suppress.

Tree Identification Plaques Installed On Town Properties The Parks Division of the Town’s Public Works Department recently received a $500 matching grant from the Colorado Tree Coalition to produce and install new identification signs on trees across Town properties. Most have already been installed, and by midAugust, all 50 identification plaques will be placed on various trees within Town parks, streetscapes and at the Fairgrounds at Stanley Park.

Over the past few years, the Town has tested many tree species in order to diversify the monoculture of Ash trees in Estes Park’s urban tree canopy. This diversification has become a higher priority since the discovery of the Emerald Ash Borer in Boulder County.

The use of healthy and appropriate trees downtown and in Town parks

helps to illustrate sustainable and practical planting options for Estes Park’s unique climate. The tree identification plaques are an effort to promote the use of such tree species by local residents for their own Courtesy photos landscaping purposes.

Residents are encouraged to visit Bond Park, where there is great tree species diversity and many identification plaques are in use. For more information on these plaques, please contact the Parks Division at 970-577-3783. To receive Town news and/or meeting agendas by email, please subscribe at www.estes.org/subscribe.

40 Years Of Memories & Heartache After 40 years, memories still linger for those in or affected by the Big Thompson Flood of 1976, Colorado’s worst natural disaster in history. It is so important to never forget the ones who lost their lives that night. We want people to be aware of what happened and what can happen, so that lives will be spared when it happens again, and it will, just like it did on Sept. 13, 2013.

July 31st holds a lot of memories and heartache. Eleven to fourteen inches of rain was dumped on the upper Big Thompson Canyon, causing the worst flood in Colorado’s history. It took everyone and anything in its path as it tore its way toward I-25 and beyond taking the lives of 144 loved ones; five of whom were never found.

On Sunday, July 31st at 7:00 p.m. please join our 40th Remembrance service which will be held at the memorial site located one mile below Drake, or 13 miles west of the Loveland Kmart on Highway 34, located next to the Big Thompson Volunteer Fire Department.

Even 40 years after the flood the sounds, smells, and memories linger with us.

This year Daryle Klassen who worked at KLOV radio station in 1976 will be giving his rendition of the Gettysburg address relating to the Big Thompson Flood which is very meaningful. Keith McCord TV news reporter and anchorman from Salt Lake City worked by Daryle’s side during those exhausting hours announcing day after day how many bodies were found. Thank you to them for their service.

The speaker this year will be Naomi Plate, who was with the Campus Crusade Conference at Sylvan Dale guest

ranch that night, she chose to go to higher ground and was spared. Nine of the Campus Crusade girls tried to escape by heading for Loveland in two separate cars, seven of the girls lost their lives and two of them were rescued and survived.

You don’t want to miss her story. There will also be music by Jerry Shaffer and Rev. Harvey Ruegsegger will be remembering the five that were never found.

We will be presenting our 40th Scholarships this year to Miranda Lohry who lost her Great Grandfather Andrew Lohry, sadly she never knew him. Two other scholarships will also be presented.

Scholarships are made possible through donations which are tax deductible and it goes 100% to the scholarship fund. We continue to sell the first books that were published in 1976 and 1977. Check our web site at www.1976bigthompsonflood.org. to view our books. They are “The Big Thompson Disaster” a collection of editorial and pictorial material.

Also “The Big Thompson Flood July 31, 1976” includes, first photos taken of the destruction.

Join us if you can, the service is open to all, bring a chair and a snack to share if convenient. There will be time for visiting and sharing memories at the Big Thompson Volunteer Fire Station next door. Books will also be available for sale that evening and donations will be gratefully accepted.

In case of rain we will move inside the firehouse bay beside the memorial. We hope to see you there.

If you use Facebook, you’re probably familiar with their ‘On This Day’ feature.

It allows users to see what activity occurred on their account on that day in years past. You can choose to view all of your ‘On This Day’ posts or sometimes Facebook will automatically load one or two into your newsfeed so they’re there when you open up your browser or app.

It’s almost like a very specific scrapbook of virtual memories.

Lately I’ve been cringing while I wait to see what memory will pop up. This time last summer, we were in the throes of a desperate attempt to prolong the life of our seven-year-old golden retriever named Molly, and I documented almost every step of the process on my Facebook. Molly was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) on June 1 of last year, and by June 5 we had taken the CSU Animal Cancer Center’s recommendations to amputate her affected leg and being chemo as soon as possible.

Two weeks after her surgery she was strong enough to start the medication and we traveled to the Fort Collins teaching hospital every three weeks.

Facebook shows me our photos and “check-ins” documenting those visits and Molly’s milestones.

I couldn’t help myself – even though sharing it with the outside world was painful, it was worse to keep it private and bottled up. Like so many experiences in my life, I found writing about it

to be cathartic. It was a way of working through every high and low and I was grateful for the outpouring of support and encouragement from my Facebook family.

Now it seems like the purpose Facebook served has flipped – the therapy that sharing on social media provided last year has now morphed into a still very raw reminder of how hard we tried to be in control of things that were never in our control. August 9 will be the one year anniversary of her death and I think I’ll keep myself away from my social media accounts. While I can finally talk about Molly without having a complete breakdown, I still get a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes every time I see her sweet face. Those who have lost a dog (or any family pet) know that heartwrenching kind of pain.

A good friend told me that even when you think sorrow is taking up all of the room in your heart, you’ll somehow find space for rescuing another animal. She was right! Adopting Harley was the best way to honor Molly. This time next year on Facebook ‘On This Day,’ I’ll see photos from a summer of joy and exploring with the newest member of our family.

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

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

EPNEWS.COM Back in the day, the cool thing to do at a teenage birthday party was to go on a scavenger hunt. Teams of excited kids would be sent out into the neighborhood on foot to find as many items on a list as possible. A key, a feather, a tooth, a piece of blue string, a crayon. An egg, a clothespin, a wheat penny, a troll doll.

The objects were nonessentials the neighbors were willing to part with, but had to be unique enough that not everyone had every item in their junk drawer. The first team to return home with the most knickknacks won. The prize might be a Snickers bar for each team member, or a pack of gum.

Those were the days. Simple. Innocent. No safety concerns. No suspicion when there was a knock on the door.

Times have changed. People stay inside, watching TV or surfing the ‘Net. If they are outdoors, teenagers moving in clusters are suspected of being up to no good. Doors are locked and knocks go unanswered.

It sounds bleak. But lo! A metamorphosis is occurring. Not slowly, but overnight: BAM! A phenomenon has exploded in the U.S. (and Australia) called PokÊmon GO. People of all ages are taking their screens outdoors and using them to play this quirky, pointless game and as a result, they’re getting some exercise. And the best part: the game is sort of like the scavenger hunt of old. Sort of. Except that it doesn’t involve knocking on doors and instead of collecting stuff from people’s junk drawers, players collect funny-looking animated characters on the screens of their devices.

One week after the game’s release, I tagged along as my niece and nephews played PokÊmon during a family gathering in Lincoln, Nebraska (celebrating my parents’ 60th anniversary). Six of us walked the streets, holding our phones out in front of us, hoping to acquire virtual balls to throw at virtual critters in order to virtually capture them. That’s about as far as I got in understanding the game. And I haven’t downloaded the app to my phone so I just looked like I was playing.

But the kids, ranging in age from 10 to 22, were all over it.

We made our way to a church parking lot where there was some sort of character to catch. But when we got there we discovered somebody else from another team had already captured what we were looking for. Or something like that. The youthful excitement over the game was so intense, I couldn’t get clear instructions on what was happening, what we were looking for and what we were to do with it once we captured

it. But it sure was fun.

(You see, poor old Aunt Sarah was not born with the innate ability to comprehend technology like today’s generation is. Case in point: in the olden days, an expectant mother could feel her baby kick in the womb. Today what a mother feels is the baby’s thumbs poking her like crazy and when the infant is born, he has a cellphone in his hand.)

When we passed several other groups of players on the streets—recognizable by devices at the end of outstretched arms— we exchanged PokÊmon salutations. (No kidding.) Conversations around the kitchen table would suddenly be interrupted when several of the younger family members would hop up, run outside with their phones and come back with wide grins, indicating they captured their target. They would disappear for an hour at a time, then reappear through the front door, jabbering about Squirtle, Pidgeotto and Pikachu. We read in the paper that so many people were trying to sneak into the University of Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium to capture virtual critters that they decided to open it to the public for two hours. Thirty-five hundred gamers showed up with the PokÊmon app on their phones.

I did get my family’s PokÊmon players to put away the game long enough to go on an updated version of the oldfashioned scavenger hunt. It was a selfie scavenger hunt, which means they didn’t knock on doors asking for extraneous articles but instead, had to take pictures of themselves at specified waypoints.

The list included getting photos of the team's reflection in something other than a mirror, the entire team in a bathtub or shower (with clothes on of course), the team standing by a convertible car (extra points if a team member is sitting in the convertible car with the car's owner), and one member of the team jumping on a trampoline. Par for the course, some shenanigans took place (i.e., Team A hid the polka dotted plastic sheet after they got their photo playing Twister so Team B had to create a makeshift Twister) but it was all in the spirit of fun and everyone finished the hunt a winner.

The Estes Valley Library is hosting a selfie scavenger hunt on August 2. Visit the library’s new and improved, very userfriendly Website to register. It’s a guaranteed good time.

Closing Sale At Serendipity Trading After 43 years at the same downtown location in Estes Park, Serendipity Trading Company is closing its doors.

John and Karen Ericson, who have owned and managed the store for the past 18 years, are planning to retire. The closing sale will start Friday, July 22.

Since its beginning Serendipity has been committed to selling only Native American arts and crafts, including handcrafted jewelry, Zuni fetishes, and fine pottery. Their loyal customers could always trust the authenticity and high quality craftsmanship found in the store located near the intersection of Elkhorn and Moraine.

Their customers, whether local, national, or international, often visited every summer when well-known artists visited Estes Park to share their work. This summer this included Watson Honanie, Hopi; Troy Sice, Zuni; and Artie Yellowhorse, Navajo.

“This was a difficult decision for us.

Many of our customers have become friends over the years and appreciate what Serendipity stands for, but the time is right for a change of pace,” John Ericson said. “We will miss working with the wonderful artists we have come to know so well and also being part of the vibrant downtown business community.”

All inventory and fixtures will be sold.

The store is open daily 10 am to 6 pm.

Building A “Slimmer” Community There is a higher level of accountability and support when a group ciding to regularly get together. He also let them know that faceto-face meetings have been shown to effectively help with longterm success.

“Our environment and social circles influence our choices,” said Dr. Dumont, one of the EPMC’s

works toward common goals. Even when those goals are personal, like weight loss. Working on their weight in a group setting has proven to be extremely valuable to the individuals who have participated in the STATE of SLIM program at Estes Park Medical Center. So much so, that they decided to continue getting together after their classes were over.

“I found my learning to be multiplied by the number of people in the class,” said David Batey, who completed the program at EPMC in May. “You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. You benefit from others sharing their experiences.”

Building a larger State of Slim community, participants from different class sessions are now meeting once a month to support each other’s life-long lifestyle changes, and to continue sharing encouragement, challenges and solutions.

During their first meeting, Dr. Frank D. Dumont congratulated the group on de-

STATE of SLIM instructors. “Rather than letting the world around us impede your success, you are taking control by supporting each other and continuing to use what you’ve learned.”

EPMC was encouraged to see the ongoing interest and has made the same room that is used for the STATE of SLIM classes available to the group on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m.

There is no fee or rsvp required to attend the alumni meetings.

The next 16-week session of classes will begin on Aug. 3. Estes Park Medical Center has licensed the STATE of SLIM program and materials from the University of Colorado. Call 970-586-2200 to enroll and get more information about the science-based weight-loss program at epmedcenter.com/sos.

Remembrances On The Fortieth Anniversary Of The Big Thompson Flood - July 31

Head Archivist for the Water Resource Archive Patty Rettig to discuss the Big Thompson Flood on the 40th Anniversary of the natural disaster.

One of the most devastating natural disasters to ever occur in Colorado, the 1976 Big Thompson Flood, was immediately documented in a variety of ways.

That documentation, enabling time travel back to the event and its aftermath, survives in archival repositories, such as the Water Resources Archive at Colorado State University. On Sunday, July 31 at 3:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Museum, Patty Rettig, head archivist for the Water Resources Archive, will talk about the flood and its importance via archival

documents, including photographs, recordings, and reports.

Rettig joined the Colorado State University (CSU) Libraries in March 2000.

She began working on the Water Resources Archive in July 2001 and now serves as its Head Archivist where she built the archive to over 100 distinct collections. In 2010, Rettig received the CSU Libraries Faculty Award for Excellence, and in 2014 she received the Friends of the South Platte Award. She earned her Master of Library Science from the University of Maryland, College Park. She is a former webmaster and past president of the Society of Rocky

Mountain Archivists. A native of Ohio, Rettig has to explain to her relatives why she goes to ditch conferences and why there are so many water lawyers in Colorado.

Located at 200 Fourth Street, the Estes Park Museum galleries are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. The mission of the Estes Park Museum is to conduct activities that preserve, share and respect the unique history of Estes Park. For more information, call the Estes Park Museum at 970-586-6256 or visit the Museum’s website at www.estes.org/museum. Museum admission is free.

To The Editor: Thank you to all who provided love, care and support to our family after Caroline passed away in June. It is with heartfelt appreciation that we thank you for the hugs, cards, messages, meals, flowers, and for sharing your care and concern for our loss.

We would also like to thank the staff at the Estes Park Medical Center, Timberline Medical, Cancer Center of the Rockies and Hospice of the Estes Valley for their loving support and care of Caroline and our family throughout her illness.

Caroline's Celebration of Life on June 22nd was made so very special by those who were with us that evening and by others who could not attend, but were there in spirit. We appreciate all the wonderful dishes that were brought to share. Thank you again for your friendship and for being with us.

7+(

Professional photographer Fred Payne Clatworthy (1875-1953) was an artist based in Estes Park. He took black and white photographs but was particularly famous for his work with the Lumiere Autochrome, the first commercially successful color photographic process. A presentation about Clatworthy’s work by collector Mark Jacobs will take place on Wednesday, July 27 at 7:00 p.m. at the Estes Park High School Auditorium.

This free program is made possible by a partnership between the Estes Valley Library and the Estes Park Museum.

In 1898, Clatworthy took a crosscountry trip by bicycle; he passed through Estes Park on his way to California. A few years later he returned and set-up a studio named Ye Little Shoppe on Elkhorn Avenue. Clatworthy's Autochromes were published in National Geographic Magazine and his images range in subject matter from Rocky Mountain National Park, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Mesa Verde, Taos Pueblo, California (particularly the Palm Springs area), and the West Coast of Mexico.

Clatworthy is now considered one of America's foremost practitioners of the Autochrome and for this program Mark Jacobs, the leading collector of Clatworthy Autochromes, will share highlights of his collection and describe what makes Clatworthy's work pivotal in the history of photography.

This program is the second of four in series through September called “Artistic Pathways of the Past: The Inspirational Journey of Artists in Estes Park.” More information about the series can be found at www.estesvalleylibrary.org or www.estes.org/museum.

Estes Park Archives Program This Sunday

Photo courtesy Estes Park Archives

William T. Parke vies with H.C. Rogers for the distinction of being Estes Park’s first resident photographer. While newspaper mentions place Parke in the area a few years before Rogers, it is unclear if either arrived in Colorado already skilled in the art of photography, or in Parke’s case, if he even owned a camera.

Clatworthy’s recollections of the layout of Estes Park’s business district in early 1905 included a spot for W.T. Parke selling photographs and postcards just north of the current Park Theater, across the Fall River, with H.C. Rogers studio (or tent) set up a few steps west, essentially where the back room of Lonigan’s is now.

Indeed, those lucky enough to own a dated Rogers panorama of the Snowy Range, or a Parke postcard whose date can be assigned from a clean postmark or the buildings present, could independently verify that Parke and Rogers were both producing work for commercial sale as early as 1902.

Once downtown lots were made available by the Estes Park Town Company beginning in June 1905, though, it became obvious Parke was serious about continuing photography as a full-time job, while Rogers, who had little need for money, treated it as another hobby, perhaps devoting more attention to architecture.

Parke’s output over the next decade was matched only by Clatworthy – Parke was older, but both were bachelors for much or all of the next ten years, and their energy and financial success allowed them to travel over the area and spend way too much money on dry plates, the primary “film” available in the early 1900s for both general and professional use, learning from numerous mistakes as they perfected their craft.

The Estes Park Archives recently acquired a collection of over 500 early W.T. Parke glass plate negatives of the Estes Park and pre-Rocky Mountain National Park area, and will host a program this Sunday, July 24, at 2:00 p.m. at the Bighorn on 401 West Elkhorn, to showcase 20 of the highlights from this set, including two mystery businesses that either didn’t last long, operated outside somewhere other than Estes Park, or were staged contrivances.

The program is free and reservations are not necessary. Food and drink, if desired, can be ordered from the menu.

Call 970-586-4889 for directions or more details.

WHAT A RELIEF! NO CONDEMNATION! Michael Breissen was a new father and he was not about to have his wife’s first Mother’s Day pass uncelebrated. But she was a nurse, and on that particular day, was working at the hospital so they would not be able to celebrate together at home. So Michael plunked his new son, Jason, in the baby carrier, drove to the hospital, and in front of all the patients and co-workers he surprised Miriam with candy and flowers and balloons that said, ‘World’s Greatest Mom!’ It was a great Mother’s Day. But after celebrating, it was time for Miriam to go back to work, and Jason and Michael to return home. Michael gathered all the things that had been part of the celebration: the candy, flowers, and balloons. It wasn’t as much fun taking those things out to the car as it was taking them into the hospital for the surprise. He begrudgingly tossed the candy on the front seat and got the flowers arranged on the floor where they wouldn’t tip over. He pulled the balloons in out of the wind, got everything arranged, and headed home.

On the way home, people began to honk their horns and flash their lights at him. He didn’t realize what was going on until he hit 55 miles per hour on the highway. He heard a loud scraping noise go down the roof, followed by a loud thump. He watched in horror in the rearview mirror as the baby carrier bounced off the trunk onto the highway and began to slide along behind the car.

Michael slammed on the brakes. As he ran down the highway to the baby carrier he imagined the worst. Remarkably, Jason was wide-eyed but totally okay. As waves of guilt and fear and relief began to wash over him, Michael writhed on the highway, sobbing uncontrollably. His self-incrimination and grief, however, did not stop a passing policeman from writing him up, nor the local newspaper from writing a story about it. A reporter interviewed Miriam, who showed amazing understanding. “He really is a good father” she said, not wanting to add more pain.

While some might say, “How could he do such a thing?” there’s a part of us that relates to Michael Breissen. We remember dumb or careless mistakes we have made, born out of hurry or frustration or distraction. We know that there is enough Michael in each of us that we could be guilty of such things too. It’s part of being human.

Guilt and regret and shame. We’ve all experienced them. In his book on Shame and Grace, an author points out that, in the life of each of us, there are times when we feel like we are walking into a courtroom. As we look at the faces of all: judge, jurors, prosecuting attorney, and audience, we notice that each has a condemning look. And, as we look even closer, we notice that each face is our face. We are our worst condemners.

The Apostle Paul admits, in Romans seven, that he is one who, despite knowing what he should not do, often does it, and while knowing what he should do, he often failed to do it. His agonizing cry: “Oh, wretched man that I am, who will deliver me?” is answered by: “Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ my Lord!” He exults to conclude: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” It’s a great formula. “In Christ Jesus” “Walking in the Spirit”. We must try it. May God help us to do so.

Touring The World’s Major Observatories

Touring the World’s major observatories is the subject of this month’s Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) meeting. EVAS in conjunction with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public open house/star night on Saturday, July 23rd. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley.

Our guest lecturer this month is Peter Detterline who was appointed as an ACEAP (Astronomy in Chile Educator Ambassadors Program) Ambassador to Chile. He was one of a group of nine educators, amateur astronomers and planetary personnel to travel to Chile as part of the ACEAP, where he toured and learned about the U.S.-funded astronomy facilities, gained experience with instruments, science and about the research being conducted in the world’s astronomy observatories.

Detterline has toured the major observatories, the Atacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Array (ALMA), Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), the Southern Astrophysical Observatory (SOAR) and Gemini South. In his presentation he will highlight his experiences in Chile, providing insight into how modern astronomy is accomplished, and what it is like to be at some of the greatest observatories in the world. While we often talk about breakthrough discoveries through better telescopes and technology, modern astronomy is really a human endeavor. The same factors that draw professionals to the area also make Chile a great place for amateur astronomers to learn about the southern skies. See what’s up in astronomy’s most inviting country and how you can be a part of it.

Peter is an avid astronomer whose interests cover a wide range of the astronomical spectrum. On the education side, he teaches astronomy to people of all ages as Director of the Boyertown Planetarium, and runs a dual credit astronomy class at the school. He is a professor of astronomy at Montgomery County Community College and has worked with the Tzec Maun Foundation providing state-of-the-art Internet telescopes in New Mexico and Australia for student use. In research he has coauthored numerous papers on eclipsing bi-

naries and contributes to the International Meteor Organization and the American Amateur Variable Star Observers. He is a founding member of the Mars Society and is responsible for the design, construction, implementation and documentation of the Musk Observatory at the Mars Desert Research Station. He continues to work with Mission Support as Observatory Director for astronomers from around the world who wish to use the facility.

The observatory is just north of the high school at 1600 Manford Ave. Park in the teacher’s parking lot between the high school and the observatory. The doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and the meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. The presentation, including a question and answer period, lasts about an hour and a half. After the presentation, weather permitting, we will look through our 16 inch dome telescope at various celestial objects.

Loving Spirit Takes Wing

Estes Park’s newest non-profit, Loving Spirit, Inc. is proud to announce that it will be conducting two, free grief and loss recovery workshops on the Island of Maui this summer. They will take place on July 30th and 31st on the campus of Seabury Hall, as well as August 6th and 7th, at the Westin Resort and Spa. Rosemary Sloan, Chair of the Board of Directors of Loving Spirit, said, “it is deeply gratifying to be able to offer these free workshops to the people of Maui. In many ways Maui was the start of this journey for author Dayle E. Spencer and her family. So this feels very much like a homecoming.”

Spencer wrote two books on grief and loss recovery following the death of her only daughter, Allie Powell, at age 28 from the flu. The books were followed by the creation of the Loving Spirit non-profit and the free workshops began last year.

The Estes Park Library was the scene of several of the earliest Loving Spirit Workshops and the YMCA of the Rockies hosted an Estes-based event as well that was exclusive to First Responders. Additionally, other workshops were offered in Aurora and Denver, Colorado.

The upcoming events in Maui mark the first time that Loving Spirit has conducted workshops out of state. However, more are planned for California, in early 2017

and Connecticut, later this year. Also, the team is working on a workshop for Colorado Springs.

According to Dayle E. Spencer, President of Loving Spirit, “these out of state workshops and the Colorado Springs event, are designed to target specific audiences.

With Maui, we are repaying a debt of love and support that was poured out on us when we lived there and especially when Allie died. In California, we will have a special outreach to the LGBT community in the wake of the mass murders that happened in Orlando recently. The Connecticut workshop will reach out to families of Newtown whose children were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. And the Colorado Springs event is being developed for our military families, especially returning war veterans, and the survivors of those who died in combat.”

All Loving Spirit Workshops are completely free and open to grieving adults by pre-registration. The Maui events are made possible due to the support received from Seabury Hall, The Westin Resort and Spa, and from an anonymous donor, in honor of Hayley King, and in memory of Heaven King-Bailey (January 2006June 2010).

Anyone wanting to attend a Loving Spirit Workshop may register online at Daylespencer.com/workshops.

At the YMCA of the Rockies 2016 Summer Worship Fest, it’s Trace Bundy Time! A favorite locally and internationally (19 countries and counting) Trace Bundy has graced the stage with his incredible guitar talent alone and over the past couple of years with music greats like Brandi Carlile, Olivia Newton-John, Neko Case, Judy Collins, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Phil Keaggy, David Wilcox, David Knopfler (Dire Straits), Bill Nershi (String Cheese), Laurence Juber (Paul McCartney & Wings), Chris Hillman (The Byrds), Stanley Jordan, MOFRO, and others.

Trace Bundy must be seen, not just heard. His music is poetry in motion, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage

presence to deliver the ultimate unforgettable live concert experience.

Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing the fan dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands, five fingers and no pick. It could be the reason also that Bundy was named “Most Promising New Talent of 2008 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine, as well as winning third place in the magazine’s “Best Fingerstyle Guitarist,” the same year.

The Trace Bunday Concert will be held Sunday July 24th at 7:00 p.m. at Hyde Chapel. It is a free concert for all ages and musical interests.

His songs touch on everything from the difficulties of love to the people and places along old Route 66, or a carnival from his childhood, or swing tunes reminiscent of Tin-Pan-Alley—in a wide range of CDs. David has spent decades studying the passionate guitar work of the famed

gypsy swing instrumentalist, Django Reinhardt, and his band, DECO DJANGO, specializes in this infectious music from the 1930s. In the past, David has also recorded and performed with people such as Greg Brown, and he also studied and performed with the great mandolinist Jethro Burns, of Homer and Jethro fame. In addition, David has played at many of the large folk music festivals in North America, such as Vancouver and Winnipeg, where he has been recognized as both a songwriter and instrumentalist.

A working cartoonist, whose work appears around the world through Carlton Cards and Soultrader of London, David has been a writer in residence at a number of colleges and universities in the US. He has written and recorded ALA and NAPPA award-winning albums for children, and was the principle the songwriter for the new PBS children’s show The Big Green Rabbit, for which he won an Emmy in 2009. His songs on youtube have over 80 million hits, and many of those have been incorporated into Animalooza, a new program for children.

Sweet Are The Uses Of Adversity “Thank you. I think of him every day; he is why I teach today.”

Monique’s response to the selfie of Daniel and me piqued my curiosity; I called to learn more.

Monique Navarro entered Eagle Rock School (ERS) twenty years ago, an angry teenager prone to volcanic outbursts. “For me it was my past; where I came from anger was an easier emotion.” She left for a while after her grandmother passed away; the campus seemed somehow calmer.

Her return to ERS was problematic because of the unresolved truculence.

“Living in respectful harmony” is a cardinal virtue at ERS, and it was far from certain that Monique would embrace restraint.

Then the phone rang.

Estes Park Elementary School (EPES) teacher Caroline Evans asked for help in a difficult situation. A new second grade student, Daniel Varela, recently arrived from Mexico, was blind, spoke no English, and couldn’t read Braille. Might we have an ERS student who could work with him? We telephoned Monique to invite her return, subject to a condition: make Daniel a star.

You can guess the rest—it was a match made in heaven.

“On the first day Miss Evans left me alone with Daniel, which I thought was crazy. He gave me a tour of the school; I was amazed. This six-year old was walking confidently, without a cane, completely at home in those confusing corridors. At the pool area…” Here Monique’s voice dissolved and she teared up. After a pause, “At the pool area I was freaked out, I thought he would fall in. He stood right on the edge and went ‘shhhhh’ as the kids dived in. He knew that, he knew more than me, and I melted for him. Nobody at EPES really spoke fluent Spanish; I understood a little, but not well. It was a journey for both of us. Miss Evans was doing math but couldn’t work individually with Daniel. I thought of dice, and that helped. He felt the numbers and told me the answers. I worked with him for the rest of that school year, about four months. He came to my graduation from Eagle Rock; seeing his face is something I don’t know how to explain. To see he was proud of me, and I had done something important. It meant so much.”

Today Monique Navarro runs the after

school program at Cowell Elementary School in Denver. Her activities encompass art, sewing, team-building, trust exercises she learned at ERS, traveling to different lands through food, dinosaurs, economics (loans, counting money, starting a business), and more. “Their interests are important to me. I work in a community where most parents are immigrants, where deportation is an issue.

Education is so important to them…”

Again emotion rises in Monique, and again she pauses. “I look back at Daniel and his struggle and how he became so strong; that gets to me. I learned from him there is nothing you can’t do. Every day kids say ‘I can’t do this’ and I remember Daniel, no cane, taking me around EPES; he did it.

There’s no way to say ‘I can’t do it.’ There is no challenge too hard to overcome. He overcame so many struggles. It grew on me, and Eagle Rock helped. We were part of the Estes community because of ERS. I loved going there and helping. I still think of Miss Evans all the time.”

Daniel remembers Monique: “I gave her a tour of the school.

At first we were both stubborn and I was confused. She gave me a talking watch so I would know what time it was. It was really cool and helped tremendously with a part of my life. It was awesome—she sat down and read books to me, and that’s when I was introduced to Braille. At those moments in life, when you don’t know English well and your sight is bad, you’re lost. Monique appeared in this hard moment to encourage me and make me a better person. She was teaching me how to use a cane, but I was really stubborn and it didn’t kick in—I didn’t want to use the cane. We became really good friends. She was going to graduate and there were no special vision teachers to teach me Braille. There was nothing there—the only help at that time was Monique. She helped me a lot.”

Three years ago Daniel Varela opened Seeing Hands Massage in The Old Church Shops on West Elkhorn. His specialty is neuromuscular massage with body insight, to relieve and correct nerve impingements and overstretched muscles.

“My eyes are at my fingertips. I’m not looking at skin—I can’t—so I see through my hands. It’s a big challenge, but I lost one sense and gained another—hearing and touch are vital for those with visual impairment.” He also offers weight loss treatment, appetite control, Swedish massage, pregnancy massage and aromatherapy massage, among other therapies.

Daniel earned his U.S. citizenship last year; he travels periodically to Texas, Arizona and anyplace where at least twenty people will gather for the touch of his healing hands. Tomorrow, July 23, he will be in Keystone, CO, with No Barriers

USA to accompany blind and disabled Iraq and Afghanistan veterans on a sixmile hike with 2000’ elevation gain.

Daniel is not only a masseur. He and his fiancé Maria clean homes, businesses, yards, vacation rentals, restaurants and offices. They mow lawns in summer and provide snow removal in winter. Daniel uses an iPhone 6S+, modified for the visually impaired, to keep track of his obligations, and he also repairs computers, cleaning up virus-infected software. He has plans to open additional businesses in the future. “I’m an example for a lot of people who didn’t take the right path—I work double, harder than most. Life is

challenging, and no-one is going to do things for you. You never reach the top of the mountain because you’re always climbing, and there’s always someplace higher up to go. When you pursue something you don’t stop. If you fail, you get up again and try harder.”

Monique Navarro and Daniel Varela represent the best of America. They work hard and serve others cheerfully, refusing despair and not accepting defeat. We need more like them.

Party To Honor Dr. James Pickering Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation will honor James H. Pickering, PhD at their Centennial BBQ & Hoedown, Saturday, August 27 at the YMCA of the Rockies. Pickering, a life-long academician, has authored 31 books on the history of Estes Park and the American West. He is also the compiler and editor of numerous anthologies and college-level texts on American literature.

Regarding this honor, Jerry Kennell, Board President of Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation said, “Jim Pickering was an obvious choice to receive this honor during the Centennial year of the Estes Valley Library.

His commitment to the life and history of the community and his life-long involvement as a professor of English and administrator in higher education underscore everything that the library is about in our community.”

Among his many community leadership engagements, Pickering is a Member of the Board and Chair of the Nominating Committee of the Friends & Foundation. He also serves as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Estes Park Economic Development Corporation,

and on the boards of the Rocky Mountain Performing Arts Center, the Estes Park Museum Foundation, and the Rocky Mountain Conservancy (as Vice President). He also serves on the Editorial Board of the Estes Park Trail- Gazette.

The Centennial BBQ & Hoedown will feature barbecue by Smokin’ Dave’s and music by the award winning bluegrass band Chain Station. In addition to honoring Pickering, the event will include Special Centennial Recognition for the Estes Park Woman’s Club, the organization that founded the library in 1916 and operated it throughout most of its history. Proceeds of the event will go to the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation Endowment Fund, with the first $25,000 in gifts matched 1:1 by a generous gift from Bob and Ludie Dickeson.

Tickets for the BBQ & Hoedown are available online at http://weblink.donorperfect.com/EVL100BBQ or by contacting Sara Walsh, Estes Valley Library Development Officer at (970) 586-8116 ext.

Estes Park School District Awarded Cherry Creek Artrepeneur Grant Mikayla and Evan with artist Ben Frey, from whom they purchased On a Roll, one of three multi-media artworks chosen for the schools.

Estes Park School District R-3 was awarded a 2016 Cherry Creek Artrepeneur Grant, which is funded

by Janus Capital Group. The grant provided a $500 purchasing budget to approximately twenty awarded schools across Colorado. Colorado middle school students used the money to purchase art at the Cherry Creek Art Festival, a nationally recognized annual art and craft show held over the July 4th weekend. Two Estes Park Middle School students, Evan Schaefer (entering 9th grade) and Makayla Fraley (entering 7th grade) attended the event with Karen McPherson, the Estes Park Outreach Coordinator and grant facilitator. The art they purchased allows Estes Park Schools to start a permanent art teaching collection.

Students were given their budget and a time-frame to walk the event, meet the artists, and ask questions about the artwork. At the close of the event, all students were required to display their purchases and answer questions about why and how they chose their works for their community.

One of three pieces selected by the students is On a Roll, a mulit-media collage piece by artist Benjamin Frey from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The first layer of On a Roll was created from a series of 1910 Encyclopedia pages ref-

erencing bears. Next, a layer of large, gestural acrylic paint was applied; the bear and bike were stenciled, and the bike color was applied by hand.

Evan and Makayla explained, “We were looking for art that referenced our town. We listed many things we associate with Estes Park including wildlife (specifically bears), bikes and outdoor activities, including festivals. We also talked about the texture of the landscape and the rock layers. This piece has all of

One of three art pieces chosen by Middle Schools students for its connection to our community: harvesting and trimming our forests as “preventative health,” a new community garden where people are growing vegetables, and… the way the bear makes eating broccoli look cool. This will go near the Middle School cafeteria.

those elements! It feels fun. And we like the title, learning how to keep rolling is a good lesson.”

Artwork purchased by Mikayla and Evan will be installed in the Estes Park Schools this fall. McPherson plans to reapply for this grant next year in hopes of adding to the collection.

from the hands of a talented multi-instrumentalist, these songs are both cohesive and varied, dipping into a variety of styles and excelling at each one. The album begins on a reflective note, using delicate acoustics before rising and cascading through a more upbeat feel and tempo. From there, it's fair game, as a seemingly endless variety of instruments are combined and nicely layered on top of each other, joining forces to celebrate and ponder a bigger picture. This is truly original music that will easily appeal to a wider audience than just fans of the traditional genre.

After a year off, the annual melodrama staged by Back Pew Creations returns in March 2017 for five performances that promise to make you laugh, groan, and want to throw popcorn at the actors. The play is still being written, but go ahead and mark your calendars now for March 10, 11, 17, 18, and 19 to catch a kneeslapping, laugh-filled frolic through local history like you’ve never heard it before.

Playwright Rich Mitchell is back in his rut again – conjuring up puns, plays-onwords, and characters of all kinds to help the Town of Estes Park celebrate its 100th birthday next year.

His last melodrama script marked the 100th anniversary of Rocky Mountain National Park. Now, he turns his attention to the founding of the town that serves as the gateway to Rocky.

This is the sixth melodrama Mitchell has written for Back Pew Creations. “It’s only one melodrama; I’ve just written it six times,” he says. “For those who are familiar with the other five, this is in the same vein and same spirit as them.” As for historical accuracy, “You don’t use this as a research document.”

Mitchell hasn’t come up with a title for the play yet, but its focus is clear. It’s 1917 and the town is just getting launched. “Around that time, as throughout the development of the town, there were people who were looking forward and trying to figure out what’s best for the town -- what it needs to be and become,” explains Mitchell.

“And of course there were people who didn’t share that vision. I don’t want to go into the specifics of the play, but that has never been a unanimous vision. And there are those who, for their own reasons, still held some grudges." Ah, the essence of conflict and drama.

F.O. Stanley is mentioned. Cornelius Bond has a minor role in the melodrama, but the Women’s Club, says Mitchell, is a key element. “They were involved in a lot of projects back then and they play a pretty central role in this melodrama as they did in the development of the town.”

The melodrama is a fund raiser for local charities – part of the mission program at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies where the melodrama is staged each year.

So mark your calendars now for March 10, 11, 17, 18, and 19 – melodrama time in Estes Park.

Be prepared to purchase oneof-a-kind items: gourd art, needlework, boutique items, collectibles, books, candles, jewelry, jellies, baked goods.

A raffle will be held for artwork and hand-crafted doll house perfect for a young person in your life. The Guild's famous peanut brittle and toffee will be sold in addition to handmade rhubarb jam and crab-apple and chokecherry jel-

lies.

Live music will entertain guests and you will be able to buy a pulled-pork lunch at the famous Kelley's Deli with all the fixings.

The Kelley House, a large log cabin home that was donated to the Guild and became its headquarters many years ago, is located at 18720 Peak to Peak Highway 7.

The great thing about the annual bazaar is this: funds raised are used to support local scholarships for high school graduates, the Allenspark Fire District, aging services in the community and special disaster relief services.

Violin Virtuoso Inspires Orchestra By: Derald DeYoung

Never has the string section of the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra sounded finer than at last Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert, their first appearance this season, sponsored by the Estes Park Music Festival at the Stanley Hotel Concert Hall. The reason was obvious: the presence of guest artist-in-residence, violinist Vadim Gluzman.

Israeli violinist Gluzman was born in Ukraine in 1973 and trained in the Soviet Union and in the US at Juilliard.

Gluzman is currently considered one of the most brilliant heirs to the great Russian-American violinist tradition of the 19th and 20th centuries. He has soloed with the best American and European orchestras. Having a world class artist of this stature perform in Estes Park was an extraordinary musical experience.

Gluzman led the orchestra, sometimes standing in front, sometimes from the concertmasters chair. But the remarkable thing was how these fine string players responded to and were inspired by this artist. By his very presence and example he raised their level of playing to an astonishing degree. The sound of the string orchestra was richer, more resonant and vital; the string players took their cue from his sound and matched it exquisitely.

Gluzman soloed in the Mozart Violin Concerto No 3 in G major while simultaneously leading the orchestra accompaniment. He played with stunning ĂŠlan

and fire and the orchestral winds matched his articulations and phrasing with like vitality. Gluzman was playing on a 1690 Stradivari violin which formerly belonged to the great Hungarian violinist Leopold Auer. Auer may have been the composer of the cadenzas Gluzman played so stunningly in the Mozart concerto.

The other major work at the end of the program was Shostakovichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chamber Symphony which is a version of his 8th String Quartet. This work is dedicated to the memory of the victims of World War II and was written in a three day period in Dresden, Germany after Shostakovich had observed that cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastation in 1960.

It is an intense five movement work which is based on a four note musical equivalent of his initials, thus making the work autobiographical. Gluzman led this work from the concertmasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair

and brought out the dramatic and tragic content of this work. It was powerful to experience the almost fever pitch of the music which was nearly unbearable at times as the music became almost manic in its biting intensity.

After this powerful cathartic experience, the concert concluded with a lighthearted encore, a waltz from a Jazz Suite

by Shostakovich, which was the polar opposite of what we had just heard.

What an outstanding and significant concert to begin this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all to brief visit of this fine orchestra from Boulder. Only two more concerts remain on Mondays July 25 and August 1.

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.

Recycling Update By: Judi Smith

Chief Seattle said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teach your children what we have taught ours. We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.â&#x20AC;? The great Suquamish leader did not take credit for the composition of that quote. The proverb had already been taught, generation-to-generation, for all time. Even today, it is a part of our culture and the origin is inconsequential. The Celestial Seasonings box deems it an Amish belief. John James Audubonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definition of a true conservationist, used by the Audubon Society, reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers but borrowed from his children.â&#x20AC;?

In 1994, the Australian Minister for the Environment and Conservation added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rich nations, for that is what we are, have an obligation to the poor nations, but also to the grandchildren of the world.â&#x20AC;? Our children (and grandchildren) trust us to remember them as we experience our day-to-day lives. But should they?

Each year the Environmental Protection Agency produces a report to let us know just how much damage our disposal customs are doing to this Earth we love and depend upon. Yet, we continue to bury our trash so that, even if it would disintegrate in sunlight, there is no chance of reclaiming the land for generations upon generations.

In 1960 we threw â&#x20AC;&#x153;outâ&#x20AC;? including recycling, 6.4 million tons of MSW or solid municipal waste (total). In 2013 this amount has increased to 254.1 million

tons. Yes, our population has increased and it is logical to blame the increase on that alone, until you realize that in 1960 we disposed of 2.68 pounds of trash per person â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and now that number is 4.4 pounds. Perhaps, in 1960 we pursued the ability to reuse. Perhaps we gave more things away, keeping them productive.

Whatever the reason, we have created a culture of disposal, new things in-old things out.

Now consider that our USA redirection rate (recycling, composting) has immensely improved, from 6% to 43%. So â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of the 2.68 pounds in 1960, 2.52 pounds ended up in the landfill. Of the 4.4 pounds in 2013, we redirected 1.89 pounds, leaving only 2.51 pounds for the landfill. So are we where we need to be? Or, do we need to do both â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the reusing and sharing of the sixties and the composting and recycling of today? If we had only 2.52 pounds of MSW per capita and a 43% redirection rate â&#x20AC;Ś that would leave only 1.08 pounds per person headed for the landfill, or, considering population, a mere 175% of our 1960 contributions.

Whether the land is in Estes Park (landfill closed in 1984), or in Larimer County (landfill expected to close in 2025), or in Colorado (recycling rate is 11%) or in the USA (75% of 1986 landfills have closed), or elsewhere on Earth, the surface of the Earth is a finite number. If we continue to base our evaluation of disposal services merely upon ease of use and the immediate financial cost, with no regard for the cost in Earth acres, we will run out. What then, will our descendents do?

Currently the courts are used by local players throughout the week and weekPickleball Court Resurfacing Project Completed Pickleball is having a meteoric rise in popularity nationwide and Estes Park can now proudly boast about dedicated and properly surfaced outdoor pickleball courts.

For the past two weeks, the pickle ball courts at the inline rink in Stanley Park, have been closed while they were being transitioned into dedicated pickleball courts and resurfaced. This is a project that has been in the planning stages until this summer. The newly resurfaced dedicated pickleball courts will provided an excellent surface for pickleball players of all ages and abilities. In addition to the resurfacing, the courts were reoriented to a north south layout so that play

end. In August EVRPD expects to host a pickleball tournament that will be attended by teams from throughout Northern Colorado. Visit Stanley Park and try it out for yourself.

Our Wonderful World Wild Mama With Carrie Visintainer Our Wonderful World is the Estes Valley Library’s armchair-travel series spotlighting extraordinary destinations from around the world! Join us on Monday, July 25 at 7 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse for Wild Mama with Carrie Visintainer.

When traveler and writer Carrie Visintainer became a mother at the age of thirty-two, she worried it was all over, that her adventurous life was done.

Immersed in a whirlwind of sleeplessness and spitup, she was madly in love with her new baby, yet also felt her adventurous spirit and core identity crumbling.

So, she laced up her boots and set out on a soul-searching journey, with revelations near and far. Carrie realized that motherhood was like traveling to a foreign country. Carrie found herself face to face with her central quandary: Domesticity vs.

Wanderlust. She discovered that she could – and should – have both.

General admission is $25 for adults, $20 for those 65 years old or older and $15 for students with ID. Performances take place indoors.

“We attract performers from across the Front Range, and in our immediate areas,” Wood said. “There are actors and actresses who have appeared in multiple productions including Christy Pratt Florence of Estes Park, who has appeared in five productions, including playing Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof and Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady. Larry Pierce of Estes Park has also appeared in all six musicals, playing Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof and Alfred P. Doolittle in My Fair Lady.” She continued, “It will be the first appearance for six-year-old Sydney Wood of Longmont and nine-year-old Fianna Lewis of Allenspark, while Glenn Patterson of Allenspark has appeared in all six productions.”

Elizabeth “Betsy” Blades started the summer musical programs at The Old Gallery in 2011, by putting together a

Danielle Hermon Wood

couple of scenes from popular musicals to entertain the Allenspark community,” said Wood. “Word of these fabulous performances grew and the small presentations turned into full scale musical productions. Now that we have our beautiful new building, the productions have been moved back inside, where both the cast and audience can be protected from the rain and wind.”

Previous productions include Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady and Side by Side by Sondheim. This is Wood’s second year as musical director of the Allenspark Performing Arts Company. She has been involved in many different arenas of the entertainment world, including performing as a backup singer for Sting in his SiriusXM Radio Concert and performing leading roles with regional opera companies throughout the United States. She is now the Music Director at Bixby School in Boulder and maintains a private voice and acting studio at Dana V. Music in Louisville.

“We are currently raising funds for a portable stage that won’t squeak,” she laughed. To donate, visit www.gofundme.com/27d9j24.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire Station. Parking is available on Highway 7 or in the parking lot next to the Allenspark Transfer Station.

The Old Gallery recently completed a renovation project, which is being funded by a $1.2 million Capital Campaign. Additional donations can still be made at www.theoldgallery.org.

Rocky Mountain National Park has always been one of the most popular vacation spots in America, with more than three million visitors last year alone. But what was it like for visitors 100 years ago? What did they do? Why did they come? What was it like to work in a lodge and interact with summer visitors in the 1940s?

You can find out, by attending two sessions of the Rocky Mountain 101 Speaker Series at The Old Gallery in Allenspark in August.

Rocky Mountain 101 is a free series featuring appearances by experts who will share information and insights about issues, wildlife and history.

Author Suzanne Silverthorne is the featured speaker on Thursday, August 4 at 7 p.m. Her book, “Around Rocky Mountain National Park,” features more than 200 postcards that provide a chronology of the early hotels, ranches, lodges and other settings that have shaped the park’s history for more than a century. Copies of her book will be available for sale and can be signed by the author.

“We’re thrilled that Suzanne agreed to join us,” The Old Gallery Board Chair Cathy Benjamin said. “She’s coming from the Western Slope for the presentation.

On Thursday, August 11 authors Kay Turnbaugh and Lee Tillotson will discuss their new book, “Rocky Mountain National Park Dining Room Girl: The Summer of 1926 at Horseshoe Inn.” The book chronicles the simple lifestyle of a young lady leaving home for a summer

job in the Rocky Mountains. Books will be on hand for sale and autographs.

The final presentation in the series takes place on Thursday, August 18.

“We’ll be showing “The Great Divide,” a feature length documentary film by Emmy winning Havey Productions about the history and future of Colorado water,” said Benjamin. Following the film, there will be a panel discussion with Q&A by St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy District Executive Director Sean Cronin, SVLHWCD Board Member Glenn Patterson and Attorney Robert Kerr, who has practiced in the field of water, environmental and land conservation law for 35 years.

“This is the second year we have offered this free educational series at The Old Gallery. By understanding our surroundings and history better, our experience here in the mountains is enhanced,” Benjamin said.

Rocky Mountain 101 is free to the public, but donations at the event are welcomed. The Old Gallery is a nonprofit organization that recently completed a renovation project. It is being funded by a Capital Campaign, donations and grants. Additional donations can still be made at www.theoldgallery.org.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire Station. It is approximately 20 minutes from Estes Park. Carpooling to the event is encouraged. Parking is available on Highway 7 or in the parking lot next to the Allenspark Transfer Station.

Legal Notice EARLY NOTICE OF A POTENTIAL IMPACT TO FLOOD HAZARD AND WETLAND AREAS

The Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) is considering committing Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG/DR) funds, under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended or Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, to undertake two projects for the Big Elk Meadows Association in Larimer and Boulder Counties known as: (1) Reconstruction of Meadow Dam and Reservoir; and (2) Restoration, Rehabilitation, and Management of Raw Water Sources.

The Big Elk Meadows system of five dams and reservoirs was destroyed in the flood of September 2013. The community domestic water distribution system was also destroyed, and the water treatment plant was damaged. The first project would reconstruct the farthest downstream of the five dams: the Meadow Dam and reservoir, along with its outlet works and related facilities. The second project would regrade, reinforce, and revegetate the lake shore and adjacent riparian areas, and reestablish aquatic vegetation following reconstruction of the five dams. Rehabilitation of the lake bottoms and surrounding areas will ensure that the newly-formed reservoirs will not be adversely impacted by lake shore erosion from high spring runoff or wave action caused by high winds, and will reduce the amount of silt and sediment in the raw water feeding into the treatment plant. Both projects would occur in floodplain and wetlands areas.

The proposed actions, if implemented, would impact a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), reference FEMA flood insurance rate map panel 08069C1325F, effective 12/19/2006; and the Colorado Water Conservation Board 100-year floodplain.

The purposes of this notice are to:

(1) inform the public of these potential consequences and (2) request comments concerning: (a) potential adverse impacts of the proposed projects on the SFHA and (b) alternative sites or courses of action that might avoid or reduce these impacts.

Details concerning the proposed projects are available for examination/copying at 29 Willow Drive, Lyons, CO 80540 weekdays between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the proposed projects to Crystal Andrews, Environmental Compliance Officer, Colorado Department of Local Affairs, 1313 Sherman Street, 3rd Floor, Denver, CO 80203. All comments must be received no later than August 5, 2016.
