There’s A Moose On My Caboose!

This bull moose doesn’t appear to be very amused that his companion is using his hindquarters as a head rest. His rack must have gotten too heavy.

The Estes Park Weed Roundup is the Estes Valley’s “Noxious Weed Academy.”

The annual event takes place this Saturday, July 25 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the Town of Estes Park’s free weed disposal site at 666 Elm Road. Participants will receive expert assistance in identifying unknown weedy plants, learn how to rid their yards of pesky weeds, and take home educational materials about invasive plants. Prizes will be awarded to participants who bring the most weeds for disposal, as well as those who bring the biggest weed specimens and the winners of the Weed ID games. Prizes include large 30-gallon paper lawn/weed bags, Kind Coffee gift certificates, gardening gloves and weeding tools.

The event site is located past the Waste Management Transfer Station at 666 Elm Road off of U. S. 36/Moraine Avenue. Pulled weeds must be in large paper lawn bags, available at local hardware and lawn and garden stores. Plastic bags or bags of non-weed materials cannot be accepted.

The Weed Roundup also celebrates the continued success of the free weed disposal site sponsored by the Town of Estes Park. The weed disposal site is open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 a. m. until 3 p. m. for free drop off of weeds collected in large paper lawn bags.

The Estes Park Weed Roundup is sponsored by Pulling for Colorado, Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA), Kind Coffee, Larimer County, Town of Estes Park, RMNP, Estes Park Master Gardeners, and the United States Forest Service.

Weigh In On The Selection Of A Consultant For The Downtown Plan Town requests letters of interest by July 31 The Town is seeking interested community members and representatives of local organizations to serve on the Selection Committee to evaluate consultant proposals for a Downtown Plan, participate in consultant team interviews and make a recommendation to Town Board for consultant selection.

The Downtown Plan will be a conceptual plan that defines a vision of the downtown in 2025, describes what the downtown will look like socially, economically and physically, and identifies a clear set of strategies to achieve the 2025 vision. The Downtown Plan is being funded by a grant through the State Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Fund.

Selection Committee members will need to be available for several meetings on weekdays between August 12 and August 20, 2015. The tentative review calendar for the committee is as follows: 1. August 12: Selection Committee meeting to receive review instructions and submitted proposals.

2. August 13 – 16: Individual review and scoring of proposals 3. August 17: Selection Committee meeting to collate individual scores 4. August 20: Selection Committee in-

terviews with top ranked consultant teams To apply, interested individuals should submit a brief letter or email describing his or her involvement in downtown, why he or she is interested in serving on the selection committee and particular expertise he or she brings to the selection process. Letters or emails must be submitted no later than 5 p.m. July 31 to the Community Development Department, 170 MacGregor Ave. (mail to P.O. Box 1200), Estes Park, CO 80517, or by email to pkleisler@estes.org. There are approximately five-seven seats open for the Selection Committee.

Interested community members will also have an opportunity to participate in the Downtown Plan process once it is underway. In August, the Town will recruit community members to serve as an advisory committee to work with the consulting team throughout the process. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

For more information, please call 970-577-3725 or visit www.estes.org/downtownplan. Sign up to receive Town news and/or agendas at www.estes.org. More updates at www.estes.org, www.facebook.com/townofestesparkco, and www.twitter.com/townofestespark.

Lack Of Contractor Availability Delays Dry Gulch Road Rehabilitation Project The Dry Gulch Road rehabilitation project will be delayed until 2016 after the Town received no contractor bids for the project, which was originally to begin this summer. The Town will repackage the project to include two phases and a schedule that is more attractive to contractors. The first phase will address utility and trail work at the intersection of Dry Gulch Road with U.S. 34. This phase of work could potentially take place later in 2015, a time when construction would be less im-

pactful on nearby businesses. Phase two will address the remainder of the road and sidewalk project to the north within Town limits. This phase will take place in early 2016 with a schedule to be determined. The Town will continue to work with residents and businesses to plan and mitigate construction impacts.

Volunteers Needed For Native Plant Collection From Town Property July 25 Collection aids post-flood restoration program On behalf of the Southern Rockies Seed Network partners and collaborators, Synergy Ecological Restoration will hold a collection of plant materials on Town of Estes Park public property Saturday, July 25, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., weather permitting. Volunteers are needed to assist with the collection of native willow cuttings. Collected materials will be used for the postflood native plant materials increase program for the Northern Colorado Front Range. The purpose of this project is to develop native ecotypic plant materials for use in restoring flood impacted areas of Larimer and Boulder Counties. The Town of Estes Park has granted permission for Synergy to collect native plant materials to fulfill a need for higher elevation plant restoration in the impacted

area. Please email Eric Cooper at Erica@synergy3.org or call 970-235-2082 for more information or to volunteer.

Synergy will collect cuttings (stem cuttings; never whole plants) and seeds of native shrubs, trees, grasses, and wildflowers from the Estes Valley area in order to develop a great diversity of plant materials necessary for the revegetation and slope stabilization needs of Fall River, Fish Creek, upper Big Thompson, and other area needs.

Materials not used by area partners will be used for restoration of similar elevation sites on the North Fork Big Thompson, Little Thompson, St. Vrain, Boulder Creek, and other flood-impacted areas. Learn more at http://synergy3.org/seed.php.

Please email Erica Cooper at Erica@synergy3.org or call 970-2352082 for more information.

Interim Executive Director Appointed For Estes Valley Recreation And Park District Following Executive Director Skyler Rorabaugh’s acceptance of a position as Director for Campus Recreation for the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) has established strong interim continuity plans until a new Executive Director is found.

The following change was effective on Wednesday, July 15, 2015.

Mary Davis has been appointed Interim EVRPD Executive Director. Before joining EVRPD as the District Accountant, Mary was President and CEO of Missouri Enterprises, a Missouri Statewide organization working with NonProfit organizations and focusing on state-wide on Economic Development.

Mary's background in financial and executive leadership in governmental and non-profit organizations, as well as her in-depth knowledge of District operations from her work as District Accountant, makes her an excellent choice for this position handling EVRPD day-to-

day operations. A contractor will cover some of Mary’s current accounting responsibilities.

Any questions about EVRPD should be emailed to Mary Davis at mary@evrpd or contact her at 970-586-8191 Ext 4.

Until a new Executive Director is in place, four key EVRPD project areas will have specific professionals assigned to them: 1) Master Trails Plan, 2) Stanley Park Master Plan, 3) Flood Recovery, and 4) the Estes Valley Community Center.

The Estes Valley Community Center is moving forward as scheduled and will have a dedicated project manager to be named soon.

The search for a new EVRPD Executive Director has been started. The job description can be viewed at http://www.evrpd.com/images/stories/Job _openings/Executive_Director_JA_Final_7-14-15.pdf. The earliest expected start date for a new EVRPD Executive Director may be some time in October, 2015.

League Of Women Voters Ban the Buzz Re-Dedication July 18, 2015

Biologist Katie Nuessley from the NatuImagine sitting next to a flowing stream communing with nature when all of a sudden a chop-chop-chopper looms overhead. Or an anxious cow elk's calls to her calf are drowned out by a noisy airplane engine. Or the gentle sigh of a summer breeze through aspen leaves cannot be heard.

The League of Women Voters of EP celebrated this remarkable accomplishment Saturday afternoon, July 18, at Park Headquarters with a program honoring these women on World Listening Day. Starting in 1995 in cooperation with RMNP, this small determined group generated thousands of letters from all over the USA to "Ban the Buzz." They persuaded CO Congressional legislators to

ral Sounds and Night Skies Division of the National Park Service spoke to the audience about the importance of preserving natural sounds for the benefit of wildlife as well as the health and enjoyment of human visitors. She pointed out that 95% of Americans consider natural sounds an important reason to preserve national parks and their primary motivation for visiting them. At present, 23 out of the 400 national parks allow air tours. Rocky is the only national park in Colorado with an overflight ban.

After the program, League members, including the LWV state president, past president and a national board member joined Park Superintendent, Vaughn Baker, and LWV-EP president, Bonnie Seals, in re-dedicating the overflight ban at the Upper Beaver Meadows Ute Trailhead.

A permanent sign there reminds visitors of the significance of preserving nature's silence: "the call of an owl, the music of a flowing stream, the rustle of leaves in the wind, the hush of a winter forest . . ."

Bike to Work Day attracted at least 123 participants

Community Participation Makes Bike To Work, Bike To Play Events A Success Approximately 125 attendees and 25 local businesses and organizations participated in Estes Park’s third Bike to Work Day on June 24 as part of the Bike to Work, Bike to Play festivities. Estes Park joined communities across the state to encourage residents to try bicycle commuting as a healthy and safe alternative to driving. Cyclists were treated to a free breakfast and coffee, giveaways from sponsoring organizations, bike check-ups by the Estes Park Mountain Shop, bike registration by the Estes Park Police Auxiliary, representation by the Estes Park High School Mountain Bike Team, a Septacycle, and a chance to win prizes. The event was staffed by the Bike to Work steering committee, the Estes Park Cycling Coalition, business sponsors, and Town of Estes Park employees and volunteers from Parks and Special Events Divisions and the Police Department. Bike to Work Day Chairperson Alicia Mittelman noted, “Thanks to the generosity and support of Estes Park businesses and organizations

Fun was had by all! Courtesy photos

Bike to Work, Bike to Play festivities were a hit!”

Bike to Work, Bike to Play events were organized and supported by the Estes Park Medical Center, Estes Valley Library, El Mex Kal Family Mexican Restaurant, Kind Coffee, The Egg & I, Gerald Mayo/Prudential Team Realty, Estes Valley Partners for Commerce, P & L Business Consultant Charley Dickey, Rocky Mountain National Park, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, Peppers Mexican Grill, Meditate in the Mountains, Estes Park Cycling Coalition, Estes Valley Recreation and Park District, Estes Park News, Estes Park Mountain Shop, Stanley Hotel, Unink Printworks, Estes Park Marathon, Estes Park High School Mountain Bike Team, Families for Estes, Rambo’s Longhorn Liquor, Rotary Club of Estes Park,

and the Town of Estes Park.

The festivities kicked off on June 17 with a free “Basic Bike Maintenance Clinic” at the Estes Park Mountain Shop where participants learned useful repair skills from Bicycle Mechanic Nate Prostman. On June 20 two events for children took place: A “Kid’s Fun Bicycle Ride” lead by rangers in Rocky Mountain National Park and “Kids, Kids, Kids: Bike, Run, Fun!” hosted by the Estes Park Marathon with numerous activities celebrating bicycles and the theme of the Rocky Mountain National Park’s Centennial in Bond Park.

Next, guided ranger rides took place along Bear Lake Road on June 21 and again on June 23 in Moraine Park, both in Rocky Mountain National Park. That evening, Meditate in the Mountains instructor Diana Laughlin hosted a free yoga class in Stanley Park to those who rode their bikes to class; she creatively incorporated bicycles in with the yoga poses and stretches.

June 24 was Bike to Work Day with approximately 125 cyclists in attendance. To cap off the series, on June 30 a Costume Bike Parade and movie at Performance Park was a fun event for several local families and for those young at heart. About 65 cyclists of all ages met at the Visitor Center and then followed the parade route guided by the Estes Park Police Auxiliary to the Bike-in Move at Performance Park. All participants were encouraged to wear costumes and decorate their bikes. At Performance Park, Families for Estes and Rotary Club of Estes Park with the assistance of Rambo’s Longhorn Liquor hosted a beer garden as a fundraiser, a food concession, and music by Ran Off the Rooster created an upbeat atmosphere for all.

Mittelman advises everyone to continue cycling for transportation and fun. “Bike riding can be challenging in Estes Park; there’s the wind, occasional encounters with wildlife, and hills. But at the end of the day, those are the elements that make your ride to the post office, your volunteer gig or job more interesting and rewarding. We live in a beautiful place with clean air to enjoy but also the responsibility to protect.

Cycling or walking from time- to-time allows you to enjoy the natural beauty we are so privileged to experience here. Slow down, wave “hello” to your neighbors and dog walkers, I bet you will be happy you did. Be safe out there; any bike will do, follow the rules of the road and ride predictably and sensibly, and have fun!”

Beaver Relocation Thank You To The Editor: I want to thank the Town of Estes Park for granting permission to relocate the beavers from the Scott Ponds in Carriage Hills. I also thank the Estes Park Police Department and Colorado Parks and Wildlife for permission to be at the ponds and to allow this relocation. I appreciate the efforts by Anita Prinzmetal and Tom Gootz for getting permission and arranging for Sherri Tippie, a 30year veteran trapper/re-locator of beavers to do the job.

Many people gave of their time and money to successfully relocate five beavers to the Pagosa Springs area. Their new home has a lake and acres and acres of Aspen trees where our beavers have been welcomed and appreciated. The relocation effort of these gentle, ecologically beneficial animals became more complex and more expensive as more beavers were in the family than first

thought. Beavers mate for life, and the entire family must be relocated to the same place. At this time approximately $1,500 is still owed to Sherri for her experienced relocation of our beavers. If you have benefited by the humane treatment of our beavers or if you just feel good that they have a home where they can thrive, please consider giving a taxexempt donation to Wildlife 2000 with designation for Scott Ponds beavers.

Mail your donation to Susan Wolf at 1637 Black Squirrel Drive, Estes Park, CO 80517-6601. You may also call her for information at 970-586-3510. If you cannot reach her, please leave a return phone number so she can get back to you. Susan spent many hours arranging the final days of the volunteer effort in relocating the beavers. I thank her immensely as well as the many volunteers.

A Heart-Felt Thank You I would like to thank the many people that helped me after my fall last week while paying my bill at Upper Thompson Sanitation Dist. First, thank you to staff at UTSD and to the wonderful couple who helped me up and get me back to my car. Also, thank you to the good samaritans who helped me contact a locksmith to get my car open as well as paying the locksmith’s fee and giving me some water. I also want to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at Estes Park Medical Center who took such good care of me and helped me out. I am happy to say I am fine now, nothing was broken, I’m just a little bruised up.

With gratitude, Anita Tannuzzo

What’s In A Name?

Estes Valley Victim Advocates To Change Name To Estes Valley Crisis Advocates For quite a while the staff and board of directors of Estes Valley Victim Advocates, have been talking about the word “victim” and how people feel about being labeled a victim. No one wants to be thought of as a victim. For some, the word makes them feel helpless and powerless. These are not great feelings. We talked about the need for dignity in our name because the people we serve are not helpless but strong and capable. But, like everyone at one time or another, they found themselves in the midst of a crisis. We talked a lot about responding to crisis and how that’s really what we do - we answer to any kind of crisis. From crimes and personal traumas, all kinds of accidents and even fires and floods, we offer immediate crisis advocacy as well as on-going supportive services when they are needed. And that’s why our new name is going to become Estes Valley Crisis Advocates.

Estes Valley Victim (Crisis) Advocates has been supporting survivors of crime and trauma since 1988. We have been providing 24 hour, seven day a week emergency crisis intervention to victims

of domestic violence, sexual assault, other crimes and trauma. We have also provided free follow up supportive services in the form of individual counseling and support groups, help with protection orders, victim’s compensation, and resource utilization. We answered calls where someone died suddenly in the middle of the night or gone to a home to support surviving friends and family members of suicide. We have even been to accident scenes and worked closely with Colorado State Patrol when family members had to be notified. We have spent time in our local schools and other local programs to provide community outreach and education.

Changing the name of a 27 year old non-profit is no easy task. “As we weave our way through the government and grantor requirements to make our new name legal, we are really embracing the name change,” says Mary Mesropian, Executive Director, “and we hope the community will too.”

For information on our program and how you could become a part of Estes Valley Crisis Advocates, either as a volunteer, crisis advocate or board member, please call Mary at 577-9781 or email director@estesvalleyvictimadvocates.org.

epnews.com O. Ooo. Oooooooooooooooooooooo.

It feels so gooood to have my o back.

Last week we read The Thunker without the letter o except where it was essential.

When it was necessary, I had to type a contorted series of keys to force the letter to appear. It was laborious (or labrius, as the case was. The lower case.) But I got my grooooove back.

It wasn’t easy to return to full alphabet usability. First I had to make an appointment two days hence to see a “Genius” (Apple’s marketing team named their customer support people Geniuses. It’s brilliant!). I had to wait like a drone in the beehive called an Apple Store—even with an appointment—only to be told Apple won’t work on my laptop because it is too old. I’ve had it six years. Ancient.

The band-aid for my computer malfunction was to buy a stand-alone keyboard and plug it into my MacBook. You know me; I couldn’t just buy the first keyboard I laid my fingers on. I had to bargain shop. It’s one of my talents. I bargain shop for everything, sometimes spending more time than the needed item is worth, checking Websites and component stores. But more often than not I am rewarded for my diligence and I get the bargain, sometimes getting burned by the “you get what you pay for” effect but more often beating the system.

(I think I broke even on this keyboard.)

A keyboard is an odd artifact. Qwerty, we call it. KWER-tee. The first six letters from left to right on the top row (not counting the row of numbers and the function keys above that) are Q, W, E, R, T and Y, ergo our nickname for the keyboard. You don’t need me to tell you that because you took typing in eighth grade.

Page 9

You memorized it and practiced typing it, using your left hand except to type the y with your right pointy finger. Even if you didn’t pay attention in class and developed into a hunter and pecker, you probably still used Mr. Pointer to type the y—and every other letter. This means you probably never reached the 60 error-free words-perminute goal the rest of us were striving for.

Thank goodness it wasn’t the letter e that went out on my keyboard. It is the most commonly used letter in our alphabet, followed by the t, the a, and then the o. The 12 most commonly used letters comprise 80 percent of all the words we spell (or misspell). People study this stuff. They have since Julius Caesar invented the Caesar cipher (related in some way to Peter Piper. I think.)

Not just once, but often I have contemplated the creation of the qwerty keyboard. (This may be the reason I frequently submit my column only minutes before deadline: because I take extended breaks to consider the line-up of the letters on my keyboard. Or check e-mail. One or the other.)

A fella named Sholes first devised the qwerty layout in the mid-1800s. Back then people used typewriters, the precursor to the computer (now there’s a pun for ya) and if the typist got going too fast the keys got jammed. So Sholes moved the letter a off the top row where all of the other vowels hang out, separated the frequently used letter combinations such as th and st, and went from two rows to four, causing faster typing and fewer jams. Genius.

Astronaut Loren Shriver At Next Observatory Meeting “Appreciation of Planet Earth” 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 this Saturday, July 25, 2015. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes Valley.

Our special guest speaker this month is Loren Shriver.

Loren has been an F-15 test pilot, NASA astronaut and Space Shuttle Pilot & Commander.

Few people have as much perspective on our planet Earth as those that have seen it first hand from the vantage of space. Former NASA Astronaut Loren Shriver is among that elite class of people who have served the nation’s cutting-edge space exploration program. A 1967 graduate of the Air Force Academy, Shiver entered an esteemed military career that led him to be a test pilot for the F-15 in 1976. Two years later he was selected

by NASA as an astronaut destined to fly on three space shuttle missions, one as pilot and two as commander. Shriver was commander of the STS-31 mission that deployed the Hubble Space Telescope April 24, 1990.

Loren will share insights from his years of service at NASA, offering at-

tendees a unique appreciation for the vastness of space that has yielded new scientific understandings but still holds great mystery.

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. After the presentation, weather permitting, we will look through our new 16 inch dome telescope at various celestial objects.

Information about the meeting can be found on the observatory website at: www.AngelsAbove.Org.

Terry Babcock is retiring from the Estes Park Post Office after 20 years of continuous fun!

A public is invited party to celebrate this milestone will be held on Thursday, July 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the small shelter by the baseball fields in Stanley Park, Estes Park.

Come say “Hello” and help us send Terry off on his next exciting journey in life!

Rescue In Forest Canyon Above The Pool

Second Rescue Occurred Near Emerald Lake On July 19, at 7:30 p.m. park rangers were notified via cell phone that a 13year-old female from Estes Park had suffered a leg injury roughly a half mile northwest of The Pool in rugged Forest Canyon in Rocky Mountain National Park. Her father had climbed to higher ground and was fortunate to get cell phone coverage.

Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue Team members reached her and her father between 1:30 to 2:00 a.m. on the morning of July 20th. It was difficult to find the patient in steep, rugged, off trail terrain. The general area had also been impacted by the Fern Lake Fire, which posed additional challenges for rescuers to traverse through this area after dark.

A technical raise was used to bring the patient roughly 150 to 200 feet up and over a rock cliff to a flat bench area where a landing zone had been constructed. The patient was flown from the area to the Upper Beaver Meadows helispot at 4:30 p.m. today. She was taken by ambulance to Estes Park Medical

Center.

Park search and rescue team members were assisted by the Northern Colorado Interagency Helitack Crew. This helicopter crew assisted with reconnaissance and extraction of the patient from the area. Over 30 park personnel were involved in this incident as well as one member of the Alpine Rescue Group.

Because the patient is a juvenile her name and her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name will not be released.

As park rescue personnel were finishing the Forest Canyon rescue they were notified at 5:15 p.m. by cell phone of a 43-year-old woman, hometown unknown, with a leg injury near Emerald Lake. Park search and rescue personnel reached her at 7:45 p.m. A team carried her out on a wheeled litter. They are expected to reach the Bear Lake Trailhead by 10:00 p.m. She will be taken by ambulance to Estes Park Medical Center.

Twenty park personnel are involved in this incident.

We have passed the mid-way mark of our summer months and I am really still waiting for summer. I came home from my South America trip in May with a cold, got other complications like pneumonia and diverticulitis, low grade fever and joint aches. To add to it all, I have had company most of June and July along with the constant rain and the 4th of July party. Despite all of that, I enjoyed every minute of it. I guess I am a glutton for punishment or maybe I just don’t know any better.

I still have rhubarb, in fact I made a very easy dessert the other night for my last visiting guest and it turned out a success. I will share that recipe in a future column but I wanted to share a stew that I made for my nephew, Al, and Elba, his wife, from Baton Rouge, LA. They were staying at my home for a few days.

(By the way, they were a pleasure to have.) I planned on having both Marie and Greg’s families over as well. I made a big pot of this new recipe. Unfortunately, Greg’s group couldn’t make it so I had a leftover party the next night with close friends.

The original recipe came from Cuisine At Home Magazine but not remembering the entire recipe, I added a few items that I usually put into my own stew. Of course, I think my additions added to the flavor better. Also I would not use as much of the spices as the original called for until I tasted and adjusted the flavors as it cooked. I thought it was a bit too hot but everyone enjoyed it. I also added much more of my frozen corn from last year’s crop. So the following is how I did it.

Happy 2nd Birthday Xander!

It's time for more cake! Xander is turning 2!

We love you so much, keep smiling little man!

Jim McCormick And Skydiving Museum Hall Of Fame Skydivers Go For World Record Over EAA Oshkosh This week, 108 of the world’s most talented and experienced skydivers, representing 15 different nations and 31 U.S. states, are attempting to set a new world record in the skies over EAA Oshkosh as part of the airshow. The goal is to complete three or more different formations within the same dive. They’ll only have about 70 seconds to accomplish this. When the record is completed, the changing geometrical patterns with colorful jumpsuits will look like a huge kaleidoscope in the sky. Local resident Jim McCormick is a world-class skydiver who is part of this elite group.

Veteran Dive Director, BJ Worth from the United States, describes some of the special challenges of large formation skydiving, “We only have 70 seconds from the time we start exiting until we separate to open our ’chutes. Each person has to follow a precise flight path from their aircraft to the formation. Then, sequencing to the second and subsequent formations has to happen simultaneously in less than five seconds. Our individual flying tasks are not so difficult, but getting 108 skydivers to do their designated task safely and on the same jump is an extra challenge.”

Collectively known as Eagles Over Oshkosh, these top skydivers from 15 nations have been jumping together for over 20 years in unique venues such as Slovakia, Russia, Thailand and now the USA. Collectively this group has over 750,000 skydives. The individual skydiver experiences ranges from 1,000 jumps to over 20,000 jumps. Members on these record attempts have set multiple world records, including the current single formation record with 400 sky-

divers all linked together and the current 2-formation sequence with 122 skydivers. Now they will attempt to triple this feat and more!

Prior to the world record attempts at EAA Oshkosh, the team has been busy performing a series of preparation jumps at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, Illinois. During these prep dives, team members are building small versions of the record formation and rehearsing the sequencing pattern, where they fly to the subsequent series of formations. Their color-coordinated jumpsuits are not just aesthetically pleasing to spectators; they also provide visual cues for the skydivers as they approach the first formation and continue on to the other shapes.

When all the subteams can perform their tasks safely and correctly, the Eagles Over Oshkosh team will start the record attempts. All 108 skydivers will exit from five aircraft (one Skyvans and four Twin Otters) flying in tight formation from 19,000 feet. Then the team will travel to EAA Oshkosh to be part of the airshow.

The pressure is on – to make skydive history in front of the EAA Oshkosh crowd of hundreds of thousands of viewers and to do it safely! Four aerial cinematographers will document all skydives and provide the media with video and stills.

Eagles Over Oshkosh Team Stats Team Members-108 15 Countries represented-Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Peru, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, USA, Venezuela 31 US State represented-Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California – 3, Colorado – 3, Connecticut -2, Delaware, Florida – 5, Georgia -4, Illinois – 3, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan – 2, Montana – 2, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey -2, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina -3, Oregon, Pennsylvania -2, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee -2, Texas – 4, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin – 4, By gender-81 men – 80%, 19 women – 20%.

Good luck to Jim and his team!

Almost Time For The Hilltop Guild Festival The 68th annual Hilltop Guild Festival and Bazaar, Allenspark’s biggest annual event, features homemade candy and jellies and handcrafted items in both indoor and outdoor booths starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, at the Kelley House on Highway 7 about 19 miles south of Estes Park.

The fundraising sales by the women’s service organization runs to 3 p.m. But that peanut brittle recipe, as old as the event, always sells out long before closing, despite two days of brittle-making, organized by Judee Snell of Riverside and Vera Wolfe of Allenspark. Chocolate-covered peanut clusters and other homemade candies don’t last much longer as the parking lots begin to fill.

The baked goods at the Country Kitchen also vanish before mid-day, but the year-long work of the weavers and other creative crafts are always plentiful enough to survive the morning rush.

The jelly-makers were deprived of chokecherries during the previous gathering season, but still managed to cook

enough plums, crabapples and other fruits to supply hundreds of jars including cinnamon apple, strawberry rhubarb and even lemon ginger rhubarb. Marilyn Sweangen of Allenspark and Vicki Dyas of Riverside led the crew that filled the Kelley Jelly House.

Early arrivals also make a big dent in the collectibles and white elephants on the outdoor tables behind the big log cabin, where Lana Arbuthnot presides.

Nearby, used books are also sold. Many hand-crafted items are the result of an entire year’s effort by Guild women who weave on the Kelley House looms and create a wide variety of crafts.

Live music will be performed by blues and ragtime pianist Scott Wilseck, Jubilant Bridge (vocals and acoustic with Willie Jarger and Carol Van Alstine) and Jake Jacobsen on hammer dulcimer.

Artists include Leslie Maya Charles with jewelry, Gigi Pellechoud and Barbara Curtis, ceramics; and Barbara Hegy and Vera Babiak, paintings. Weaving will be demonstrated in the big Loom Room which houses seven floor looms and

four table-top looms.

Kelley’s Deli will serve pulled pork on buns, hot dogs, cole slaw and baked beans, with Percy Lopez of Ward heading the first shift and the Tahosa Valley trio that manages the Country Kitchen,

lief and the Allenspark Volunteer Fire Department. Joan Donavan chairs the event and Judee Snell of Riverside is summer president of the Guild.

Preparations begin with the picking of chokecherries in mid-August by a com-

This group of women have been busy making their world-famous peanut brittle for the Hilltop Guild Festival. Courtesy photos Tody Martin, Claudia Osa and Joan Rogers, will take the second shift after their baked goods sell out.

At 2 p.m. many will gather at the Raffle Tent for the drawing of winners of the six raffle prizes. Until that hour, raffle tickets at three for $5 will be sold, but buyers need not be present to win the following: A 61 by 62-inch quilt by Mindy West, a Pendleton Selvages, Twisted Fringe woven rug, 30 by 52-inch, by Diane Turechek; A framed colored photo. 28 by 24-inch, by Cheryl Pennington of the 1915 dedication of Rocky Mountain Park dedication; hand-crafted jewelry by Carol Halsey; “Time to Renew St. Vrain,” a painted saw blade clock sculpture by Pat Sweangen and Yvonne Goodrow; and a crocheted 48 by 58-inch Afghan

by Lorna Hamilton.

A parking crew led

by Bob McDonald of Allenspark will assist in providing easy access to the grounds for both handicapped and other drivers.

The FestivalBazaar raises funds for scholarships awarded to students from Allenspark, Estes Park and Lyons; an Arizona Indian school, Crossroads, aging services, disaster re-

mittee headed by Dwillette Paulsen of Riverside. The candy-making group headed by Lois Traeger and Carol Francke, both of Allenspark, cooked peanut brittle from a popular 65-yearold recipe.

The weavers work at the looms each Wednesday, joined by other women doing embroidery and other crafts. The Guild gathers year-round, with potluck meetings each Wednesday during the summer.

Formed in the 1930s, the Guild invites visitors to tour the Historic Bunce School next door to Kelley House. It will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“LEAN ON ME AND I’M GONNA LEAN ON YOU” One of my favorite Neil Diamond songs is the one that contains these lyrics. The first time I remember hearing it was when we were moving from Nebraska to Longmont more than twenty years ago. I shared those words with the church in Longmont along with some other words of the song: “We’re headed for the future and the future is now!” And, for nearly This ‘lean twenty years we ‘headed for the future’ ‘leaning on each other’. on me, I’m gonna lean on you’ spirit was instigated long ago when God pronounced that “it is not good for the man to be alone” and created the woman. King Solomon focused on this ‘lean on me, I’m gonna lean on you’ spirit when he stated, “Two are better than one. If one falls down, he has someone to help him up, but woe to him who is alone when he falls.” How many times have we seen this evidenced in our world here in the Rockies. A man falls and, because he has no one there to free him from the rock, he ends up amputating his arm in order to survive.

Last week I was returning home from a trip to Saskatchewan and, on the way, happened to listen to Neil Diamond’s song again. During that time up north I had seen how this principle was being applied in one farming family. The father, a long time farmer, has become quite limited in his movements and is having to deal with the prospect of getting his crops in when they mature. He has two sons, both of whom have some land, but only one enjoys farming, so the father shared that it would probably be up to that son to do the harvesting when the time came. So I headed south thinking that they had things in hand. Unfortunately, four days later the word comes that a bull charged the ‘farmer son’ as he tried to herd him, resulting in numerous broken bones and internal injuries. The ‘leanee’ has become the ‘leaner’. My concern as I write this article is ‘Who will they…including the injured son…lean on now? It is consoling to know that, knowing people in the community and in the church they attend, the spirit of the song will be in evidence as the harvest…for all the family…is gathered in.

What can we learn from all of this? Obviously, that each of us needs to assess our own situation and determine who we know that we will allow to ‘lean on us’ and those on whom ‘we can lean’. I hope, first of all, that you have the same Friend that many of us ‘lean on’ first. In a counseling class at the University of Nebraska the professor…who does not believe in this Friend…asked the class whom we share our concerns with when we struggle.

Some of us just smiled and, without waiting for an answer, Dr. DeFraine said, “I know. You believe in prayer.” And we nodded. I hope He is one Friend on whom you ‘lean’ in times of trouble. The Bible says, “Cast your cares upon Him for He cares for you.” However, we also need people to whom we can turn when things go bad. I told the church people up north that no one should ever have to go to a hospital alone. We need someone there to encourage, support, and, when possible assist. So, at such times, when sick or injured or discouraged who do you call? Who do you feel you can ‘lean on’? At the same time, who are those people who know you well enough to know that you care and that they can ‘lean on’ you when times are tough? Who would you ‘harvest the crop for’ or ‘hold the hand of’ in times of such setbacks?

As we in Estes Park ‘head for the future’ (and ‘the future is now’) will you ‘lean on me’ and ‘let me…and others…’lean on you’. Diamond’s song ends with ‘I’m gonna show you how!” May that be our spirit in this great community as well.

In Jesus, Bob

Join “Inn” At The Baldpate For “Stories Of The Baldpate”

“Stories of the Baldpate” will presented

by Baldpate’s Museum Curator, Bella Vinsonhaler at The Baldpate Inn on July 29th at 7:00 p.m.

In the past, museums had been places of open curiosities and the exotic, solely used for entertainment. Since then they have become places of learning, they help us gain understanding of who we are and where we come from. For example by using the information found in the Ali Baba caves of wonder we can gain a better understanding of the family history and architecture, having the capabilities to track the movement and evolution of these processes. Whether you are a historian or just have a thirst for the taste of the past you can learn all about the Baldpate and maybe gain a better understanding of this beautiful area.

Join us as Bella shares stories with us of how we got this beautiful place, The Baldpate Inn. Bella moved from California to Colorado to pursue her college career in 2011 in Anthropology and Russian Studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Fascinated by the past and how it has created the world we live in today, she is now pursuing a PhD in Physical Anthropology. Bella’s passion

epnews.com Next Monday evening July 27th at 7:30 p.m. the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra will perform music from the southern European counties of Spain and Italy.

Bach Lives!

This concert will feature classical guitar soloist Ana Vidovic.

Estes Park Music Festival: “Sounds Of The Mediterranean”

Ana comes from the small town of Karlovac near Zagreb, Croatia and started playing the guitar at the age of 5.

She gave her first public performance when she was only seven. By 11 she was performing internationally and at 13 attended the National Musical Academy in Zagreb. She subsequently came to the US and studied at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore where she graduated in 2005. She has won an impressive number of prizes and international competitions all over the world.

We will truly be privileged to hear this guitar virtuoso perform two concerti. The first is one of the most famous guitar concertos: Concierto de Arranjuez by the Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo. This piece is considered one of the pinnacles of Spanish music and of the guitar concerto repertoire. The work attempts to transport the listener to another place and time through the evocation of the sounds of nature.

Then from popular 18th century Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, Ana Vidovic will perform his “Guitar Concerto in D major.” This is also one of Vivladi’s more popular pieces and is in the familiar fast-slow- fast- form of Baroque concerti.

The concert closes with Mendelssohn’s sunny Symphony No., 4, “Italian.”

Mendelssohn, of course, was German

and this pieces finds its way on this Mediterranean themed program by the fact the Mendelssohn’s inspiration for this work was a trip to Italy. Only the final movement, a saltarello, which is a gay, sprightly Italian dance, is reminiscent of Italy. However, this whole symphony exudes a feeling of delight and well-being.

This concert will open with the North American premiere of Spanish composer Benet Casablancas “Festive Overture.” Born in 1956, Casablancas is widely regarded as one of the leading Spanish composers of his generation.

With no recording available of this new piece, this will be an adventure into the “unknown’ for all of us. This will certainly be another live musical experience not to miss.

Tickets: Individual concert tickets: $30 each (cash or check) Save by subscription $75. Children & students admitted free. Tickets available at the door or in advance at Macdonald Book Shop, 152 E. Elkhorn Ave., or at the Festival business office located at Hobert Office Services, 1140 Manford Ave., Suite A, Estes Park (970) 586-9519. Tickets may also be purchased online at www.estesparkmusicfestival.org. A small extra charge is applied to all credit card purchases.

By: Derald DeYoung Yes, Bach was rocking at the first Estes Park Music Festival Concert of the season at the Historic Stanley Hotel Concert Hall.

For the 39th consecutive season, the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra from Boulder came to Estes Park to give a close to sold out house an exhilarating concert charged with their typical passionate music making.

With three of the most renowned classical composers, Mozart, Haydn and Bach on the program why is it that Bach always steals the show? Even Mozart and Haydn were aware of Bach’s virtuosity in their day and assiduously studied his music to see how he did it.

The performance of Bach’s 3rd of the six Brandenburg Concerti was as riveting as any you are likely to hear. Written for three violins, three violas and three cellos, with a bass line, the players stood, except the cellos, and performed without conductor, being brilliantly led by the concertmaster, Calin Lupanu. This was as good an example of why witnessing live performances trumps listening to a CD. One could see the theme being passed between the instruments, feel the energy and passion of the performance and observe the intricate counterpoint of ten lines of music interacting with each other. It was like watching a juggler keeping ten plates spinning in the air simultaneously.

Audience members smiled in amazement not only at this magnificent performance but of Bach’s brilliant ability to create this music. Haydn and Mozart were also in awe of Bach’s genius.

But there was more. The impressive young American (born in Longmont!) cellist, Julie Albers, performed the Haydn Concerto for Cello No. 2 in D Major. She played with a radiance imbued with subtle nuances that drew the listeners into her elegant sound. Her technical prowess was stunning to hear and watch, another rea-

son to attend live performances. Those sitting close enough could see the intricate finger and bow work that produced her graceful sounds. Her sensitivity to the music line and phrase was exquisite and her playing seemed effortless. Her solo cadenza was a joy to experience. Her phenomenal technique was on full display as she used extensive double stopping to provide harmony. This was another high point of this concert.

Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro Overture and Symphony No 31 in D Major, bookended the program with spirited, strong and happy music.

The key of D major is bright and festive and that is the kind of night it was with three of the four pieces in that key. Both Mozart pieces were in D major as well as the Cello Concerto, which provided a tonal theme to the evening.

The new conductor and music director of the Colorado Music Festival, JeanMarie Zeitouni conducted this evenings program with great commitment, energy and sensitivity. We look forward to hearing him conduct the remaining two performances here. We applaud the Colorado Music Festival for finding and choosing him. He is a first class musician and conductor.

High level professional music making of this caliber should not be taken for granted. Indeed Estes Park is the only community in the state to which this superb orchestra travels outside of Boulder.

Two more opportunities exist to hear them: Monday evenings July 27 and August 3.

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.

Diffuse Knapweed • Small white flowers at ends of branched stems • Flowers may also be pink to lavender • Several spiny bracts with long tips surround each flower base • Biennial starts with a rosette of lobed leaves and in the 2nd year flowers with smaller stem leaves • Dry plants stay in the ground or form tumbleweeds • Plants are 6 inches to 2 feet tall

Why should you be concerned about it?

Diffuse Knapweed is non-native, produces prolific seeds, and spreads rapidly. Diffuse Knapweed is one our worst invaders. Spotted Knapweed is closely related and looks similar with pink to purple flowers. The invasive Knapweeds grow all over Estes Park, including Peakview Rd, Prospect Estates, Manford Ave and surrounding streets, Carriage Hills, Wind Cliff, and Lakefront Ave. Botanists call Diffuse Knapweed Centaurea diffusa and Spotted Knapweed is Centaurea stoebe ssp. micranthos.

PREVENTION Pull or dig up plants. Plants without flowers can be tossed on the ground. Put flowering weeds in paper lawn bags.

Leave weed bags for free disposal on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8-3 or at the Annual Weed Roundup Saturday, July 25 from 9-noon at 666 Elm Street, up the road from the Recycle/Transfer Station.

Thank You To Our Estes Angel

To The Editor: My husband Mike and I (Jean) hiked from Bear Lake to Hiyaha and all was good. Then, on the way back, we saw a sign to Glacier Gorge. We thought it gave a mileage only a little further than returning to Bear Lake, plus we figured it would be all downhill and a trail we had never done before. Now mind you, we are 72 and 76 respectively and not fit like you “Estes Parkians.” Well, on the way down the rocky trail, Mike slipped, fell and couldn’t get up. This is when our angel, Tom Boutell was coming up the trail, helped Mike up and said, “I’m gonna make sure you get down safely.”

He stepped back, we thanked him profusely and went on our way. Quite a ways down the trail, I looked back to let someone pass and there was Tom. He really meant what he said. Wow! As it turned out, Mike needed his help quite often plus the trail was much longer than we had calculated. Ugh! Mike was so tired he couldn’t even appreciate Alberta

Falls which was fuller than even a week before.

Now this angel Tom, offered to show us an emergency path to the highway just past the Glacier/Bear Lake Junction where we could wait while he literally ran up the trail to his car parked in the Bear Lake parking lot. He then picked us up and drove us to our car in the first park and ride. Now do you see why he is our angel?

Tom is an experience hiker and climber with plenty of muscle. He is not pushy with his help but looked ahead and knew just when to hold out his hand for the taking if needed. He was very patient with our slow pace even though he had been hiking in the area since 6:30 a.m. and we got to our car at 7 p.m.

Tom has been in the Estes area for about a year and has set about learning the trails, animals, etc. Maybe he will be a guide. He sure would be a good one.

Since we come to Estes often, we know that the locals here would always stop to help someone who even vaguely looks like they might need help but we think what Tom did was above and beyond.

Remember, he was going in the other direction!

It’s actually hard for us to accept so much kindness which was really needed. It’s overwhelming and we thank you again, Tom. Jean and Mike Lindholm Minneapolis, MN

The Art Upstairs Relay For Life Estes Park By: Keturah Young

Sometimes we don’t realize how long the battle has been fought. The American Cancer Society (ACS) began long ago in 1913.

And now, in its 102nd year, we are still fighting cancer. Helping fuel that fight is ACS’ community fundraiser, Relay for Life, which raises funds and awareness for cancer research.

The Estes Valley Library is honored to feature Relay for Life of Estes Park during the month of July for our Art Upstairs exhibit. This year is the 30th anniversary of the national organization and the 14th anniversary for our local chapter. In fact, Relay for Life just had their relay at Bond Park this last Saturday.

The exhibit features the art of Christian Beattie created during his battle with cancer. Pieces include photos of his recy-

cled metal sculptures and pencil and colored pencil drawing depicting a city scene. Other artists contributed watercolor paintings, and a hand-lettered poem.

A photomontage shares scenes of our local community participating in Relay for Life alongside a wall mural made at one of the recent

relays. As you walk through the front door take a peek at the front display with additional stories and items of area cancer survivors.

The exhibit at the Library runs through Tuesday, July 28th.

Our Wonderful World: Summer Adventure Series

This summer the Estes Valley Library is once again proud to present the Our Wonderful World series. We have traveled through Colorado both hiking and kayaking. We have hiked through Alaska and biked around Iceland and traveled to Ecuador. There is more to come.

The Our Wonderful World series is inspired by the concept of armchair traveling. We all love to see pictures and hear stories about adventures we may never experience, or traveling expeditions we’ve shared and want to re-live or, excursions that we are dreaming of for the future.

Armchair traveling transports us to a destination without actually traveling.

Stories and pictures are the primary way to armchair travel and, you can also see

the world by experiencing food, drinks, language, art and most of all, books.

If you haven’t yet experienced the Estes Valley Library version of armchair traveling via Our Wonderful World, we are only half way through the Summer Adventure Series.

Please join us in August as we continue our around the world journeys through the sharing of stories and photos.

August 3 – Adventures in Southeast Asia with Neil, Laura, Peter & Nadia Herman August 10 – Shoes for Sherpas: Nepal in Recovery with Anne Hines August 17 – River Bears of Alaska with Mike Fallon August 24 – The Jewels of China with Betty Hull August 31 – Africa in Wildlife Long Necks & Zebra Stripes with Robert Brunson These presentations take place at the National Park Village, next to The Other Side Restaurant and below Country Supermarket at 900 Moraine Avenue. Admission is free and open to all. The Library offers a special thank-you to the Webermeier family and the staff of National Park Village for their generosity in providing this year’s event space.

Beginning Genealogy Free Seminar August 1, 2015 The Estes Valley Public Library and the Estes Park Genealogical Society invite you to attend a FREE day long seminar to learn the techniques of researching your family history. On Saturday, August 1st from 8:45 to 3:15, two Front Range genealogists will guide you through the beginning steps. Genealogy is history on a personal scale. It satisfies a deep need to understand how we fit in the broader world. Invest in learning about the history of your predecessors. While fitting all the puzzle pieces together you will learn much about history and about your predecessors in a very fun and rewarding way. The seminar is free but you need to register on the library website as space is limited to 30 attendees. Call the library at 586-8116 if you need assistance.

The morning session will be with Pat Johnson. She regularly assists researchers at the Family History Center in Fort Collins, Colorado and belongs to the Larimer County Genealogical Society.

She is the Registrar of Friday’s Council Tree Chapter, NSDAR, in Windsor, Colorado. One of her favorite areas of research is in the American Revolutionary War. Another favorite is finding female ancestors that have been lost to history.

Pat presents genealogical programs in Colorado and Wyoming. She will talk

about records, recording results, and genealogy software. After a one hour lunch break (bring your lunch or go to a nearby restaurant; beverages provided), Carol Stetser will address subscription databases and cemetery research. Carol is a regional speaker for many genealogical societies in Colorado and Wyoming.

She is also an instructor for the Larimer County Genealogical Society (LCGS) for workshops and classes besides writing genealogy articles for the LCGS newsletter and 50 Plus Marketplace News. Carol has been featured several times on our Genealogy Quest TV Series and also volunteers at the Old Town Library in Fort Collins on a monthly basis. In addition, she has been an indexer and arbitrator for the Colorado 1885 Census. She has been responsible for indexing and arbitrating over 39,640 records for this project. Besides holding several officer positions in LCGS, Carol is a member of the Friday's Council Tree Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Windsor, and the Swedish Genealogical Society in Denver.

Electrify Your Summer Submitted by: Jana Larsen, League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee

Did you know that lawn mowers produce several types of pollutants, includ- Bodee ing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs - this means that mowing your yard with a gasoline mower with a typical four-cycle engine potentially produces more of this pollutant than driving your car more than 95 miles in an hour? However, here is an easy solution to reduce your carbon footprint: Black & Decker, Larimer County and Ft. Collins are hosting an event in Ft. Collins - Saturday, July 25, noon to 5:00 p.m., at Washington Park (300 Laporte Avenue 80522) - for ALL residents of Larimer County. Bring your gas mower drained of all oil and other fluids and buy a new Black & Decker electric mower at wholesale prices; also test drive electric vehicles and find out about alternative energy and other sustainable technologies available in Colorado! For more information, go to fcgov.com/electrify or contact Event Director Peter Gibbons at 970-416-4235.

39th Big Thompson Flood Memorial Service To Be Held July 31 The 39th annual Big Thompson Flood Memorial Service will be held Friday, July 31st at 7:00 at the memorial site, 13 miles west of Loveland, or one mile below Drake, CO. This is going to be a very meaningful service with Dave Livinghouse, a Fort Collins First Responder in 1976. He has been locating as many of the first responders then and bringing them together for our service this year.

What an opportunity for us to give them a big “Thank You” for all they did. Every one of them gave their hearts, minds, and souls to rescue people and recover the victims. It was their job working tirelessly day after day not complaining just doing what they were trained to do. As they looked for victims they did not know how many were lost they just kept looking until it seemed they had found the 139 that were identified, unfortunately five more were never found. Their emotions ran high and still do today; they have never forgotten the faces of the

lifeless bodies they recovered and of course never knew their names. Hopefully this service will bring some form of closer for them as well.

There will also be special music by Mango Stephens, John Pellouchoud will share his experience as a first responder in 1976 and also how he survived the 2013 flood.

Any first responders of 1976, if you have not been contacted and wish to be a part of the service please feel free to contact Dave Livinghouse at 631-8884.

We will have a time of visiting and refreshments as usual after the service.

Look forward to seeing you all once again.

With a gratitude of Thanks to all of our first responders everywhere, as they give to save others. Thank you!

Imagine celebrating the story, music, and tastes of Christmas in a log church in the Rocky Mountains. Now imagine all of that without blowing snow and wind, freezing cold temperatures, scarves, hats, and gloves. What’s left?

Christmas in July at the Allenspark Community Church.

One of the long standing traditions of this wonderful church, located in the heart of Allenspark, is the opportunity to celebrate the music and message of Christmas in the midst of the warmth and beauty of summertime in Colorado.

Christmas in July 2015 is Saturday night July 25th at 7 p.m. and Sunday morning July 26th at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. The church is decorated with greenery, lights, and poinsettias in a way that brings you right into the feeling of Christmas in the mountains. This year the church choir is presenting a cantata called, “Images of Adoration” by Pepper Chopin. There is also the reading of the Christmas story, and a time for everyone to join in the

singing of our favorite Christmas carols.

Following this one hour presentation there are Christmas cookies, hot chocolate, tea and coffee for all. This is a free event and a gift to the community by the Allenspark Church.

The church is a log structure built in 1922, adorned with beautiful stained glass windows picturing the wild flowers of the mountains, and remains an active and well attended year round church.

You can learn more about the church at www.allensparkcommunitychurch.org.

Maybe Christmas in July is just what you and your family needs to complete this summer’s trip to the Rocky Mountains.

Is The American Dream In Crisis?

To The Editor: “American Dreams in Crisis” is the title of a very recent Denver Post article. The theme and information imparted falls into the subject matter of many conversations I have been a part of recently. More and more of said discussions are occurring among citizens everywhere including EP. Subject matter and points of view trigger thoughts but are not necessarily limited to the following: • Federal, State and Local governments have lost touch with citizens and in general the “middle class.”

• Our local government cried for a tax increase a year-plus ago to do things including major street repair.

What has happened to date?

City fathers bought a very expensive street super fixit machine budgeted for up to $1,000,000. The money has been spent.

The town leaders are trying to hire a graduate engineer to head up the street fixit department without success. Why not promote an present employee in the Public Works department and hire summer college and/or unemployed folks out of the $1,000,000? Meanwhile, the pot holes remain.

• Could not the folks wanting the

$20-25 million dollar downtown theatre put their efforts, money and goals toward improving affordable housing so that many of our service employees could live in our town and not have to commute from the “valley?”

• Any town/city over 50 years old should have an “Urban Renewal” organization….shouldn’t we? Our last one, voted out, rebuilt downtown after the “big” flood…of 1982.

• A number of folks have come to town and feel that our town should be “Aspen North” or “Vail North” Why? Lots of people moved here to live because it was “Estes…” Someone recently said” The character of Estes Park is being drawn away.”

• Some letters to the “papers” slamming the “real estate” comments were written by “Editorial Board Members” of a “local paper.” Is that “freedom of the press?”

• “Group Think” seems to have taken over the “Town Board” and other appointed Boards in Estes Park.

• And lastly it seems that the Town Trustees and Administration seem to have developed a hearing problem.

The ability to listen well is a virtue.

Respectfully, Art Blume

Brad Fitch Trio To Present RMNP Centennial Concert The public is invited to join the Brad Fitch Trio for a musical celebration of the 100th anniversary of Rocky Mountain National Park, Saturday, July 25 at the Performance Park in downtown Estes Park.

This free concert will begin at 7 p.m.

The Brad Fitch Trio, including Eamonn Morris on cello and bass and Mark Rashid on lead guitar, backing vocals and percussion, will perform Brad Fitch songs of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado and the national park.

Estes Park-based musician Brad Fitch was commissioned to write the park’s centennial theme, which will be included in the program. His latest album, “Rocky,” also celebrates the park’s big anniversary.

Joining Fitch will be Eamonn Morris, of Boulder.

Morris, a junior at the Mark Rashid University of Colorado, is an accomplished cellist and bassist and has been performing with Fitch since 2012. Mark Rashid, a national-known horse trainer and author, has played with Fitch since the mid-1990s. They have written several songs and recorded albums together and were part of the former Estes Park band The Elktones.

“I am excited to perform this concert with my friends and I hope everyone will feel welcome to join us in this celebration, Fitch said.

“This only happens once a century and promises to be an historic event.”

Hermit Park Welcomes The Wolves

Wolfwood Refuge makes their annual visit to Hermit Park Open Space in Larimer County near Estes Park Colorado Saturday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th 2015. From 9:30 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8:00 p.m. each day, Wolf talks at 10 a.m. & 7 p.m.

You will have the opportunity to meet some of our new ambassador wolves, enjoy petting, take photos, receive wolf kisses and go home with all the free wolf fur your clothes can handle.

Wolfwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission was to provide a safe refuge for unwanted and homeless wolves and wolf/dogs. Today, all animals live on 40 acres in Ignacio CO in very large enclosed areas. No animal is ever chained. All efforts are made to provide the best physical, mental, social and psychological environment for each animal.

The refuge receives no Federal or State funds and is grateful to have the support of over 35 volunteers. All donations are applied directly toward the care of the wolves and wolf/dogs.

WolfWood Refuge provides comprehensive information and education on wolf and wolf/dog behavior and the issues surrounding them. Our extensive outreach programs are given free of charge to over fifty schools and organizations annually, with projects often focusing on at-risk youth.

There are currently over 60 wolves and wolf/dogs housed at WolfWood. We are one of the few wolf refuges still accepting animals. WolfWood strongly opposes the breeding of more wolf/dogs and allows no breeding at the refuge.

There will be lots of new Wolfwood items for sale with 100% of the profits going to the refuge. Visit: www.wolfwoodrefuge.org to learn more about the refuge.

Please do not bring dogs. A $6.00 daily entrance permit is required for the park.

Ronald Lee Kuhns On Thursday evening, July 16, 2015, Ronald Lee Kuhns was called to be with his Lord and Savior and passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family. He will be remembered as an honorable, generous and outgoing man, and devoted husband, father and grandfather. Ronald was born July 26, 1933 in Lincoln, NE to Harold and Hilda (Slaybaugh) Kuhns. The family, including older brother, Harold Dean Kuhns (Wilma), moved around the country 15 times before Ron graduated from high school.

Ron is survived by his wife, Sylvia Anne Ewing Kuhns; his son Ronald J. (Peggy) of Austin, TX, son Jeffrey S. (Kristen) of Seattle, WA and four grandchildren who were the joy of his life: Austin Jeffrey (Kyla), Amanda Lynn, Marina Leigh (Jerrell) Briscoe and Megan Leigh Kuhns. Love of the great outdoors will be one of Ron and Sylvia’s everlasting legacies to their children and grandchildren. Ron’s memory and life are celebrated in these hearts, along with all who knew him.

Ron is a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, OH. While in college, he met and married, Sylvia, the love of his life, and started his career with Shell Oil Company. The family spent the first years of their life together in Cleveland then New Jersey before relocating to Houston, TX where Ron held a variety of financial and management positions within Shell Oil Company, Shell Chemical Company, Shell Development Company and the Shell Oil Company Foundation. After 38 years

with Shell, Ron retired and they moved to Estes Park, CO in October of 1996, where they quickly integrated into their new community.

While in Estes Park, their love of the Rocky Mountains drew them to join Trailmasters and become avid hikers, summiting multiple 14ers in their retirement years. Ron and Sylvia also travelled extensively to hike the great outdoors.

Ron was always active in his church and in social service organizations, through personal deeds and financial support, as taught to him by his mother and dad. For many years, Ron was a volunteer firefighter, Stephen minister, square dancer and avid Texas Longhorn fan. He was a member of the Rotary Club of Estes Park, and served on the Board of Directors of Estes Park Medical Center and also of Big Thompson Sanitation District, and was a volunteer Ranger at Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park. Bear Lake was his absolute favorite place!

Please join us to honor and celebrate Ron’s life on Friday, July 24, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. at Ron and Sylvia’s place of worship, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies. Ron requested that donations be directed to the Estes Park Medical Center Foundation-EMS (Emergency Medical Services), P.O. Box 3650, Estes Park, CO 80517 or to the Rocky Mountain Conservancy, Attn: Ronald L. and Sylvia Kuhns Fund, P.O. Box 3100, Estes Park, CO 80517.

Lila Grace Richter Lila Grace Richter, 86, retired medical assistant, passed from this life to her heavenly home on July 14, 2015.

Lila was born November 14, 1928 in Walton, KS., to the late Samuel H. Schmidt and Dustine (Hiebert) Schmidt.

2. Written instruments mailed to any clerk is considered as entered upon their record regardless whether or not they've actually file stamped said documents and, whether or not they've been lost.

3. No clerk in any state of our union is capable of removing documents from a public record.

8. You have no general law explaining your wrongful act against me.

There is no authority for his act.

2. 8th judicial district court clerk Sherlyn K. Sampson violated her duty to me by taking my written instruments into her own interests, eliminating my documents from our public record kept in her custody. There is no authority for her act.

3. You are in charge of that man & woman. Your agency doesn't have authority for its agents' (Mr. Schwartz & Ms. Sampson) harmful acts. This is unlawful treatment from Colorado's constituted judiciary.

4. Our district courts are chartered.

7. Your lack of scrutiny and/or oversight on your fellow employees has injured me.

10. You have a directive, but you cannot show me any authority whereby that directive is binding upon me.

11. You have no contractual nexus with me whatsoever to justify your employees' wrongful acts against me.

12. I am not a judiciary licensee, therefore I am not subject to any courts' administrative processes under such license. You have no authority to cause me to comply with any such processes.

13. You have harmed & damaged me as a result of your employees' wrongful acts in contractual breach to an amount equivalent to ten pounds (10#) gold, which as of the date of your notice & opportunity would be similar to one hundred seventy-four thousand one hundred twenty-five dollars ($174,125) specie under 12USC§411.

This stipulation is necessary as I'm not an expert in law, however I do know right from wrong.
