Brook Court Street Improvements & Moraine Avenue Drainage Project Begin Soon Construction is expected to begin Aug. 8 on Brook Court street improvements and Sept. 5 for the Moraine Avenue drainage ditch project. Both projects are flood recovery projects funded through a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Brook Court repairs include curb and gutter installation, roadway paving and drainage improvements. Traffic control and lane closures will be required during construction, as well as a brief closure for paving. On-street parking along Brook Drive is permitted for homeowners.

Mountain Constructors, Inc. is expected to complete the project by Sept. 7, weather permitting. Representatives from the Town Public Works Department and Mountain Constructors recently held a meeting with Brook Court homeowners to discuss the project schedule and specific construction impacts.

The Moraine Avenue drainage ditch project will take place on the south side of Moraine Avenue east of the intersection with Elm Road and outside the CDOT highway right of way. It will include installation of a customized concrete inlet, a concrete plunge pool at the downstream outlet, regrading and revegetation. No traffic impacts are expected. The project is expected to be complete by the end of September.

For more information on these projects, please contact the Town of Estes Park Public Works Department at 970-5773587 or publicworks@estes.org.

Long-Term Rental Of Accessory Dwelling Units Considered To Aid Workforce Housing Shortage At its next meeting, the Estes Valley Planning Commission will consider amendments to the Estes Valley Development Code to allow long-term rental of accessory dwelling units in the Estes Valley. An accessory dwelling unit is a second dwelling integrated with a single-family detached dwelling, typically smaller and located on the same lot as the single- family detached dwelling. It does not include mobile homes, recreational vehicles or travel trailers. Prior to 2000, detached accessory dwelling units were allowed, in some cases.

While current regulations prevent rental of accessory dwelling units, removal of this prohibition for long-term rentals may help relieve a critical shortage of workforce housing in the Estes Valley. The Planning Commission meeting takes place Aug. 16 at 1:30 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. Draft proposed regulations will be available for review by Aug. 4 at www.estes.org/EVDCamendments.

They will also be included in the Estes Valley Planning Commission meeting packet at www.estes.org/boardsandmeetings by Aug. 12.

The Planning Commission is charged with reviewing the proposed code amendment with the standards for review in the Estes Valley Development Code, which includes determining whether the amendment is compatible and consistent with the polices and intent of the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission will forward a recommendation for approval, denial or approval with conditions to the Estes Park Town Board and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners for a final decision.

At the Aug. 16 meeting, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing and is expected to make a formal recommendation to the Town Board, which is tentatively scheduled to review the recommendation and draft regulations at its Sept. 20 meeting. Next, the recommendations will be scheduled to be reviewed by the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners, tentatively Oct. 17.

The proposed accessory dwelling unit amendment is one of several possible

code amendments that might be considered by the Planning Commission, Town Board, and Board of County Commissioners to address the workforce housing shortage. A primary goal within the Town Board’s strategic plan is to serve as a catalyst to develop available housing solutions for all segments of the community. The Estes Park Housing Authority, with support from the Town of Estes Park, conducted the 2016 Estes Park Area Housing Needs Assessment. The assessment identified strategies to address workforce housing needs, calling for partners to first convene a Housing Summit to prioritize those strategies. A top priority identified at the May summit is to amend codes to allow and encourage workforce housing. Another recommendation was to allow accessory dwelling units in all residential zones provided that they are rented long-term to employees. The Estes Park Housing Authority’s Housing Needs Assessment is available at www.esteshousing.org.

The Estes Valley model for land-use regulations is unique in Colorado. The Town of Estes Park and Larimer County partnered in the mid-1990s to develop the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan – a unified vision for land-use planning in both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the Estes Valley. In 2000, they jointly established the Estes Valley Development Code. The Planning Commission reviews development and subdivision proposals and proposed code amendments within the entire Estes Valley, though the final decision-making authority lies with the County Commissioners and Town Board for their respective jurisdictions.

Information on the topic of accessory dwelling units will be available at www.estes.org/EVDCamendments.

Estes Park Police Chief Wes Kufeld just returned from a fishing trip with a group of friends, floating and fishing the Holitna River in the heart of wild Alaska. The trip was one Wes had been looking forward to and planning for months ahead of time. It was the

the plane. When they hit solid ground, Wes said the landing gear protruded through the floor of the plane where they were seated. After the plane stopped moving, Wes (who was riding in the very back of the airplane) noticed there was no smoke, no smell of fuel and no fire, and the men, who were momentarily stunned, opened the doors to evacuate everyone On the last day of this amazing trip, from the crumSunday, July 31st, Wes and his friends pled wreck. Afloaded their gear into a very small plane, ter re-grouping a Cessna 206 Cub, in an effort to fly back outside, they to Aniak, and from there to take a comdiscovered they mercial plane back to Anchorage.

trip of a lifetime, a remote seven-day adventure filled with floating Alaskan rivers, fishing, and camping amongst bears, moose, wolves, and eagles. Wes said, “We were far away from any civilization, and didn't even see another person for seven days.”

Even though Wes lost his luggage for the first four days of the trip, that was only a minor inconvenience as he said, “The fishing was outstanding, catching many different species of fish, and enjoying fresh salmon meals with a great group of friends, enjoying fellowship and nightly devotionals. It was just a great time to regroup and relax!”

Wes and his friends were amazed at the breathtaking beauty Alaska has to offer. He was in awe of the wildlife, the scenery and the Alaskan people who he says are some of the friendliest people he has ever met anywhere!

and grassy runway. Wes felt the pilot power up and when the plane got up to speed, estimated at 100 mph, the plane lifted off. Immediately after leaving the ground however for some reason, the plane took a sharp right turn, then a sharp left and the plane and all five occupants crashed into the trees below.

Wes said the thing that went through his mind at that point was, “Oh no, we’re going down!” and he waited to feel metal slashing through his body. It all happened in an instant.

Another guide who was on the ground watching them leave said it was the most terrifying thing he has ever seen! He thought for sure all of them would be killed in the crash.

According to Wes, the momentum next forced the airplane in reverse through the trees, crumpling the tail of

Police Chief Wes Kufeld Survives Plane Crash In Alaskan Wilderness By: Kris Hazelton

Now, back in the Alaskan wilderness with no transportation out, the group was forced to get back into their boats and float the river 50 miles to another small town called Sleetmute, where they called for another plane to come pick them up. Once again, this included taking off from another small, muddy grassy runway.

When they boarded the plane, Wes said it was a little hard not to think about the crash, but they were all looking forward to getting to Anchorage where they would be happy to enjoy some pizza and a beer to celebrate their good fate.

Chief Kufeld is back in Estes Park now, safe and sound and we can all be grateful

that this story didn’t have a different ending. It could have been so tragic for so many.

Wes said, “They say your life flashes before your eyes when you’re about to die.

Wes said, “There was no time for that, it all happened within seconds. They also say you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being in a plane crash.”

Wes says with a smile, “Well...I'll be running for cover in rainstorms now.”

Electric Rates Increase Estes Park Light & Power electric rates to increase this September At its July 26 meeting, the Estes Park Town Board adopted the recommended rate increase for the Town of Estes Park’s electric utility, Estes Park Light & Power, to be implemented 2016 through 2019.

The new rates take effect with usage beginning Sept. 5 and will appear on October bills.

To ensure continued high-quality utility services and plan for future upgrades through capital improvement projects, the Town of Estes Park periodically reviews the cost of providing services as well as projected revenue – the rates paid by customers. The Town’s public electric utility is a cost-based entity that relies solely on user fees to operate. Costs and revenues must be balanced in order to maintain operations and keep utilities in line with ever-increasing federal standards and customer needs and expectations.

A rate study completed by HDR Engineering earlier this year concluded that most customer classes should be adjusted to support the increasing cost of services and to maintain fair and equitable rates. Based on the new rate structure and the average usage as computed by the Colorado Association of Municipal Utilities, customers will see the following changes on monthly bills: A residential customer using 700 kWh of electricity per month: • Currently pays $82.66 per month including the monthly customer base charge • As of September 5, 2016, the cost would be $86.90 per month • January 1, 2017, the cost would be $90.93 per month • January 1, 2018, the cost would be $95.14 per month • January 1, 2019, the cost would be $99.35 per month A small commercial customer using 2,000 kWh per month: • Currently pays $221.45 per month including the monthly customer base charge • As of September 5, 2016, the cost would be $231.73 per month • January 1, 2017, the cost would be

$241.61 per month • January 1, 2018, the cost would be $251.49 per month • January 1, 2019, the cost would be $261.37 per month A large commercial customer using 45,000 kWh and 130 kW (demand charge) per month: • Currently pays $3,860.50 per month including the monthly customer base charge • As of September 5, 2016, the cost would be $4,121.07 per month • January 1, 2017, the cost would be $4,341.79 per month • January 1, 2018, the cost would be $4,567.26 per month • January 1, 2019, the cost would be $4,781.73 per month Municipal electric utilities like the Town of Estes Park involve two major operations – the distribution of electricity and capital improvements to the system. The following system improvements are needed: 1. Moving overhead lines underground in the Marys Lake, Baldpate Inn and Lily Lake areas, including along the Homer Rouse Trail. Other areas like Little Valley are being replaced with overhead tree cable which increases wildlife protection and power quality.

2. Coordination in 2017 and 2018 with Public Works as MacGregor and Big Horn Avenues north of Wonderview Avenue are rehabilitated – these power lines will be moved underground. In addition, a portion of Fall River power line as well as the Goblin’s Castle Road line will be replaced with tree cable.

The last electric rate study was conducted in 2010-2011. Another rate study was postponed due to the 2013 flood, when the Town opted to maintain its rates through the first phases of flood recovery.

For general information on the electric rate study and newly adopted rates, please contact the Utilities Department at 970-577-3588 or visit www.estes.org/electricrates. To learn how the new rates will affect a specific property’s bill, please contact Utility Billing at 970-586-5331.

Participate In The Town Of Estes Park’s Citizen Survey Online Through August 31 A random sample of 1,500 Estes Park households received the Town of Estes Park’s 2016 Citizen Survey in late June.

The same survey is now available for broad participation on the Town’s website www.estes.org through August 31.

Town Administrator Frank Lancaster encourages everyone to take the opportunity to weigh in on Town and community programs and services, including residents outside the Town limits. “The Town understands many people who weren’t included in the scientific sample also rely on our services, and the online survey is a convenient way for all citizens to tell us what they think,” he explained.

Individuals who did not receive and complete a mail survey this summer are encouraged to participate in the web survey by visiting www.estes.org and clicking on the “Take the 2016 Citizen Survey” link under “Hot Topics.” For those without internet access, printed copies are available in the Administration Office, Room 150 of Town Hall, located at 170 MacGregor Avenue.

Estes Park In Bloom Committee Thanks Local Sponsors Community Representatives To Attend Symposia This Fall

FAMILY OWNED. COMMUNITY FOCUSED. We at Bank of Colorado want to share our excitement and appreciation for serving our community. We believe that the communities we’re a part of make us who we are. Family owned and community focused.

America in Bloom judges Stephen Pategas and Susie Stratton, as well as Communities in Bloom judges Evelyn Alemanni and Gaétan Deschênes, visited Estes Park July 18 and 19 for evaluation of its entries into the America in Bloom and Communities in Bloom programs.

During the visit, the steering committee and community partners guided the judges on tours of downtown Estes Park, the Estes Park Museum, the YMCA, the Recreation and Park District grounds and MacGregor Ranch. The judges and steering committee also visited local resident Karen Gerber to view her floral gardens, as well as the landscaping at Deer Crest Resort, which recently received a “Business Bright Spot” designation.

Local sponsors supporting the America in Bloom and Communities in Bloom judges’ visits included Mama Rose’s Italian Restaurant, Tavern 1929 at The Historic Marys Lake Lodge, Poppy’s Pizza & Grill, Cabin Fever of Estes Park, Aspen and Evergreen Gallery, The Taffy Shop, Kind Coffee, Nick Molle Productions, Twin Owls Steakhouse, Estes Valley Recreation and Park District, YMCA of the Rockies, Visit Estes Park and the Town of Estes Park.

Estes Park participated in the American in Bloom program for the fourth consecutive year this year, entered by the Town of Estes Park and YMCA of the Rockies.

For the 2016 America in Bloom entry, the community advanced to the Circle of Champions as a small community, competing against Echo, Oregon, Gallipolis, Ohio and Greendale, Indiana. For its first entry in 2013, Estes Park received three national America in Bloom awards: The nationwide winner in its population category of 4,001-7,000 residents, outstanding achievement award for “Landscaped Areas” and a special award for “Most Effective Use of Bold Foliage.” For its second entry in 2014, the community was honored as the nationwide winner in its population category of 4,001-7,000 residents with a four out of five “bloom rating” and a special mention for overall impression as a result of the extensive flood recovery efforts. Due to its many achievements, the community also advanced to America in Bloom’s prestigious Circle of Champions, becoming the newest community in the program to receive that honor. For its third entry in 2015, the community received a five out of five “bloom rating,” a special mention for Overall Impression and an Outstanding Achievement Award for Landscaped Areas.

Awards will be presented at symposiums for each organization. The America in Bloom Symposium and Awards Program takes place October 6-8 in Arroyo Grande, California. Representing the community will be business owner and steering committee member Julie

Pieper, Keri Kelly of the Town’s Public Works Department and Suzanna Simpson of the Administration Department.

Estes Park participated in the international Communities in Bloom program for the second consecutive year in 2016.

In 2015, the community received a five out of five “bloom rating” and a special mention for the partnerships forged among local government organizations, nonprofits and private businesses. The Communities in Bloom Symposium takes place October 27 – 29 in Regina, SK. Brian Berg of the Town of Estes Park’s Public Works Department and Kelly Wilkerson of YMCA of the Rockies will represent the community.

Communities in Bloom is an international program committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community involvement, with a focus on enhancing green spaces in communities. Like America in Bloom, this program offers on-site, one-on-one mentoring and coaching by a team of judges, with participation from communities in the United States, Canada, Asia and several European countries. Estes Park has been accepted into the competition as a midsized community and will be competing against Ahogill County of Antrim, Northern Ireland, UK; Municipality of Jasper, Alberta, Canada; Town of Stettler, Alberta, Canada and City of Trail, British Columbia, Canada. Visit www.communitiesinbloom.ca for more information.

America in Bloom is a non-profit, nationwide program promoting beautification through education and community involvement, while utilizing flowers, plants, trees, and other lifestyle enhancements. Locally known as Estes Park in Bloom, the project is a community-wide effort involving businesses, residents and Town government. America in Bloom is the only organization of its kind offering an award program with on-site, one- onone mentoring and coaching by a team of expert judges who will provide the local committee with a detailed, written evaluation following its visit. The evaluation is based upon six criteria: floral displays, urban forestry, landscaped areas, heritage preservation, environmental efforts, and the overall impression/cleanliness of the community. Visit www.americainbloom.org for more information.

Now that Jordan and I have been married for (almost) three years, I have a definitive list of things I can do that will make him roll his eyes. (And to be fair, vice versa – if he says he absolutely can’t find something in the house, he’s “searched everywhere,” it will take me under thirty seconds to find that exact item.) One behavior at the top of his list is when I comment on how old I am or how old I’m getting. Actually, the eye rolls extend beyond my husband and into my friend group. They have heard me make comments or remarks about my increasing age for a while now, and I can tell their patience may be reaching its limit.

Remember when you were young and you’d meet someone who was older than you? You couldn’t imagine being that age.

Every single day I have a moment when I think, “I don’t feel like I’m 28” or, “How can I possibly be a functioning adult?” I still feel like a kid! I still can’t believe that I pay bills, that I have a job (career!), that I am the only one in charge of me and I can do whatever I want. (As an aside, a friend recently told me a story about how she said no to something her mom asked her to do, and her nine-year-old cousin asked why she wasn’t automatically required to do that thing, why she had the option to say no. My friend told her cousin that when you’re 30, you can do anything you want, and she watched her cousin’s mind just explode at the thought

of being your own boss. I think the word she used to describe it was “magical.” Ha!) It’s like I glossed over that transition between kid and grown-up, that I don’t remember a certain time when all of a sudden I was an independent adult. How does that happen? How do we just become “real” people?!

This week I entered the last year of my twenties. That’s scary to me. I’ll never be turning an age that starts with a two again. I started this decade without being able to legally drink a beer, and I’m beginning the end of this decade as a craft brewery frequenter. I turned 20 just after studying abroad in Senegal, before my senior year of college, and I’m turning 29 as a married woman living in the most beautiful town in the universe.

Who I am has changed so much over the past nine years… I feel like a completely different person. How has time has gone so quickly and made so many things different? While many people have told me that their thirties were or are their favorite decade, and I’m excited to see what adventures and changes are in the next phase of life, I am going to relish this last year in my twenties. And maybe have a beer or two.

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 Many of us have come to recognize how important it is to eat healthy—or at least healthier than we used to. No longer do we butter our toast before we put protein-rich peanut butter on it for breakfast. (Julia Child knew what she was saying when she stated, “With enough butter, anything is good.” What she didn’t say is “With enough butter, anything is good for you.”) Because we know we should, we consume a lot more fresh fruits and vegetables than we used to, and we do our best to cut back on the amount of sugar we take in.

Every once in awhile, however, we need to break the rules and indulge. That’s what it’s all about (not the hokey pokey, as we’ve been lead to believe). And that is why I went to the Donut Haus this morning. I wanted to pamper myself with an I-deserve-this type of breakfast, loaded with sugar to go oh-so-deliciously well with a cup of strong coffee.

The Donut Haus has been around since before my time in Estes Park. As soon as I started visiting our small mountain town it became the go-to on Saturday mornings.

Making a selection took a long time, which is true for most people looking over the display cases laden with all shapes and sizes of rolls coated with glazes, frostings and sprinkles.

This is why there is often a line out the door at the Donut Haus, because everybody else has to go through the same shilly-shallying. The mouth-watering anticipation as we wait for others to make their selections is part of its appeal.

It would be no fun at all to walk in, place an order without a second thought and walk out again. There has to be pointing and questions, hand wringing, decisionmaking, a change of mind, some more hem-hawing, and the final selection. There needs to be time to smell the sweet aroma wafting from the kitchen in back, where

the “fryers” work through the night to produce their breakfast confections as we lie in deep slumber, only dreaming of them.

While I was dithering this morning, a fellow stepped into the narrow lane of the Donut Haus and large spread of thick creaminess on top.

“That’s a cheesecake donut,” the young clerk answered.

I wanted to help out this first-timer, so I added, “Those are really good but very rich. By the last bite you feel like…” and I puffed out my cheeks as I rubbed my tummy, crossing my eyes for a second.

“I ate two pieces of cheesecake the other night. Would that be the equivalent?” he asked. I had a hunch this guy was not going to order a cheesecake donut. He was going to order two.

“How much would it cost to buy one of everything in the case?” he asked. The clerk didn’t know. I made my selection: a plain cake donut, a raspberry fritter, a raised glazed (partly because it’s fun to say), and a raspberry twist (not all for me).

My favorite is the applesauce cake donut but they don’t offer those on Tuesdays.

My sugar buzz and coffee fix kept the wheels turning long after breakfast. Again and again the question repeated in my head: what would it cost to buy one of everything in the case? I called the Donut Haus.

“If I call back in 15 minutes could you give me the answer?” They could. And they did. Fifty-four dollars and sixty-five cents, including tax. Exactly the same as a twoweek guest pass to MedX.

Reduce Your Home’s Wildfire Risk Learn How At August 11 Class The Estes Valley Fire Protection District and Estes Park Board of REALTORS® are hosting a Firewise® presentation on Thursday, Aug. 11 at 6:00 p.m. in the Fire Station training room at 901 N. Saint Vrain Ave. Attendees will learn how to protect their home and property from wildfire by applying nationally recognized Firewise principles.

A wild land fire could be devastating to our community. A proactive approach is needed because once a wildfire threatens an area, there isn’t time to do mitigation work.

The Aug. 11 class will provide details on actions you can take to create a Firewise home with surrounding defensible space, including: • Thin continuous tree and brush cover around all structures.

• Clean out gutters and roof areas where pine needles collect.

• Clean pine needles and other debris from under decks and in corners of structures.

• Mow grass and weeds around structures.

• Prune tree branches to eliminate the possibility of fire reaching the branches.

• Remove any small tree or shrub from under large trees to eliminate a ladder for fire up to the tree branches.

• Stack firewood at least 30 feet away from any structure.

• Post reflective house numbers at the edge of the road so they are clearly visible both day and night.

• Make sure the driveway is at least 12 feet wide and all tree branches are cleared to a height of 14 feet to allow emergency response vehicles safe access to all structures.

For more information or to have a Residential Firewise Risk Assessment com-

pleted for your property, please contact Fire Inspector Emily Franklin at efranklin@estesvalleyfire.org or 970577-3682.

Auditions Set For Fine Arts Guild Production Of “Damn Yankees�

Attention sluggers! Get out of the dugout and hit a home run as auditions for Damn Yankees will be held Aug. 9-11!

Auditions for the Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies 2016 production of the musical comedy "Damn Yankees" will be held on August 9, 10 and 11 at the Park Village Playhouse from 5-8 p.m. Auditions for principal roles will be held August 9, August 10 will be for supporting cast and August 11 will be for call-backs, if needed.

"Damn Yankees" is a musical comedy

by George Abbot and Douglas Wallop about a passionate baseball fan who sells his soul to the devil so that his favorite team, the Washington Senators, can beat the unstoppable New York Yankees and win the pennant.

The Devil, taking the form of a slick salesman, Mr. Applegate, convinces an aging baseball fan, Joe Boyd, to give his soul to become a young, handsome, supernaturally gifted baseball player named Joe Hardy who subsequently joins the Senators, the worst team in the league, and leads them to win game after game. Along the way, Joe Hardy from Hannibal, MO, misses his wife, Meg, and longs to be with her despite Mr. Applegate's efforts to enthrall him with the charms of a devilish temptress named Lola. Joe Boyd, however, insisted on an escape clause when he made his pact with Mr. Applegate, and will try to exercise it before his time is up. Will Joe succeed or become another lost soul in the collection of Mr. Applegate?

With a series of famous show tunes including "You Gotta Have Heart" and "Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets," Damn Yankees is solid entertainment from the first crack of the bat to the last slide into home plate.

This production is being co-directed by Susan Henshaw and Kris Hazelton with musical direction by Denise Stookesberry. Shows will be staged October 14, 15 & 16 and 21, 22 & 23 at the Hempel Auditorium at the YMCA of the Rockies.

Auditions Each person auditioning will be asked

to prepare 16-32 bars of a song from a musical play that showcases your vocal talents. Readings will be from the script.

An accompanist will be available, please bring your sheet music in the key you wish to sing. No recordings please.

Roles to be cast Mr. Applegate - The Devil in disguise as a slick salesman Joe Hardy - The 22-year-old, home run hitting alter ego of Joe Boyd Lola - The Devil's seductress assistant.

Dancing ability a plus!

Meg Boyd - Joe's loyal, traditional wife

Gloria Thorpe - A probing reporter Van Buren - The hard working manager of the Washington Senators with great heart, but no luck Joe Boyd - A middle-aged, overweight married man who is in love with baseball, especially the Senators [the "older" Joe Hardy] Doris - A friend of Meg Sister - A friend of Meg

Assorted ensemble players A perusal script will be available Tuesday, August 2 at the front desk of the Estes Valley Library.

Backstage help is also needed. For more information, contact Susan Henshaw at 970-672-7074 or Kris Hazelton at 970231-2635.

EP Archives Program On The Greatest President We Never Had-Charles Hughes Presidential candidate Charles Evans Hughes’ farewell address to Estes Park, delivered from the balcony of the Stanley Hotel in August 1916 following a weeklong break intended to re-energize the candidate and his campaign, included a promise to return with family, children, and grandchildren in the near future, “and enjoy the delights of Estes to the full.”

Consider that campaign promise fulfilled.

Just one short century later, Kenneth and Kathleen Hughes are in Estes Park, and will join in events tonight and tomorrow evening commemorating the 100th anniversary of Charles E. Hughes’ extended campaign stop in northern Colorado.

Kenneth Hughes, a Washington, D.C., attorney, will unpack pictures and memories of his great grandfather, who died in 1948 following a brilliant 35-year career in public service that was successful, even transformational, at every level and by all accounts, save the vote count in California that would have carried Charles Evans Hughes to the White House in 1916.

Reaching the Stanley in a steamer convoy following an overnight stop in Lyons, Charles E. Hughes and his wife Antoinette tried to evade the assigned press team and photographers by mixing into the downtown crowd, only to be pursued in similar fashion by the curious citizens of Estes Park. They quickly escaped to the more distant reaches of Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park, yet reporters somehow still managed to record their every move (and Antoinette’s every outfit) from Sunday through Thursday, in near-subatomic detail. This live stream, while intrusive, proves valuable today for reconstructing the corner of Estes Park and August 1916.

At the time, Bear Lake, for example, required a two-mile hike with a guide, its isolated allure lost on modern travelers. Our first assault on the Continental Divide led by convicts in 1913, Fall River Road, had yet to advance beyond treeline.

Hughes’ lasting legacy was as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from 1930 to 1941, and Kenneth Hughes will join Mark Tushnet from Harvard and Bernadette Meyler from Stanford, both “rock stars” of the legal world and Hughes experts, in a panel discussion on Saturday, moderated by local Supreme Court historian Eric Waples.

In his 1916 speech, Hughes, who trav-

eled to Switzerland more than once as a younger man, and relished hiking in the Adirondacks while Governor of New York, affirmed that the mountains were his best friends. “I have sought them,” Hughes said, “and I have derived more strength and inspiration from the days that I have spent in the hills than in any other way. You are all lovers of nature, or you would not be here, and I congratulate you most heartily on being able to escape from the artificialities and many of the conventions of ordinary routine life, and to refresh your souls in this most favored spot.”

But Estes Park’s mountain setting was not the only thing that captivated Hughes: “The organization of life in Estes Park and in the nearby communities is so simple that everybody can go back to nature and once more get the point of view and the wholesomeness of life and ideals which always come from living close to nature’s heart.”

Tonight’s program, free to the public, will be held on the YMCA campus in the Dakota Cottage, located behind the Administration building and west of the Longhouse. A YMCA start to the festivities is appropriate, as Charles Evans Hughes’ beloved daughter Helen worked for the YWCA in New York prior to her death at the age of 28, and was initially scheduled to travel with her parents to Estes in August 1916 and speak at the Y. Beginning at 7:00 p.m., Kenneth Hughes and Bernadette Meyler will paint the broad outlines of the WilsonHughes presidential race and Charles Evans Hughes’ family life, with dessert and plenty of opportunity for audience questions to follow.

The Saturday forum, focus-

Charles Evans Hughes (left) and great-grandson Kenneth Hughes and wife Kathleen Hughes.

ing on parallels between the Supreme Court in Hughes’ time and our modern court, is also free of charge, and begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Stanley Hotel Billiard Room. Parking on Stanley property is available at no cost provided you show a campaign badge – If you don’t already have one, remaining badges will be distributed at Friday’s event.

Please consider coming out this Friday and Saturday to welcome the direct descendant of a man many consider “the greatest American president we never had.”

Republican Candidate Charles Evans Hughes’ August 1916 Address To Estes Park As Reported By The Loveland Daily Herald to me to promise so much of rational enjoyment as Estes Park.”

“I want to say that I thoroughly believe in the policy of creating and developing national parks. We have only just begun this development. We can hardly appreciate the advantage that will accrue to the people in the future from the reservations that are being made so that riches of unsurpassed beauty and opportunity for pleasure are preserved for the benefit of all the people of the country.”

“We work to live, and we should live sound and wholesome lives, and they should be made available to all these great reservoirs of strength and peace and happiness such as are found in our mountain parks.”

“My heart is in the woodland, and if I could have my way, I would cut it out and enjoy these mountains for the next two months. I think you for your kindness in giving Mrs. Hughes and myself during our stay here so many evidences of your courtesies and good will. We shall never fail to think of Estes Park as a place of rare enjoyment, and in the happy days which I hope are soon to come, we hope to assemble our entire family, children, and grandchildren, and enjoy the delights of Estes to the full.”

THE

The speech Hughes gave to the crowd assembled in Estes Park in August 1916 just before leaving for Loveland and Denver.

“I appreciate most cordially the welcome you have given Mrs. Hughes and myself, and I count it a privilege to be able to say a few words to you informally before I leave. The mountains are my best friends. Whenever I have had an opportunity, I have sought them, and I have derived more strength and inspiration from the days that I have spent in the hills than in any other way. You are all lovers of nature, or you would not be here, and I congratulate you most heartily on being able to escape from the artificialities and many of the conventions of ordinary routine life, and to refresh your souls in this most favored spot.”

“To say that I have enjoyed my visit here is to put it mildly. You have a combination of beauty of scenery and salubrity of climate that I do not think is surpassed in the world. In the famous valleys of the Swiss Alps, Engendine, the floor of the valley is about 6000 feet above the level of the sea. Here you have a much higher altitude where you live without the exertion of seeking to reach the elevation you desire, to get the full tonic of the air of a high altitude. I know of nothing equal to it.”

“But there is something about the freedom of the life in Estes Park that pleases me more than its climate and beauty of scenery, unsurpassed as they are. The organization of life in Estes Park and in the nearby communities is so simple that everybody can go back to nature and once more get the point of view and the wholesomeness of life and ideals which always come from living close to nature’s heart. I have had many happy days in the woods and on the hills in this country and abroad, and I can truthfully say that I have never visited a place which seems

Tips When Living With Black Bears

There have been a few reports of bears getting into homes and vehicles in the Estes Valley in the last several weeks.

This time of year, bears are busy trying to fatten up for their winter hibernation and they need to consume 20,000 calories a day! Human-bear conflicts are a fact of life in Colorado, but with some simple actions, residents of bear country can help to significantly reduce those conflicts.

The biggest issue in conflict situations is the availability of human sources of food -- garbage, pet food, livestock food, compost piles, bird feeders, chicken pens, etc.

Bears have a phenomenal sense of smell and can pick up odors of food sources from miles away.

Bears receive a big calorie reward if they get into something like pet food, or bird seed or leftover pizza, and once they get a taste they quickly become habituated to human food and conflicts start. When that happens, things usually don't go well for the bear.

Once black bears have discovered a food source they may defend it and can become dangerous. Those types of situations can be dangerous and it is undesirable to have wild, unpredictable animals in close proximity to people.

Bears will go to the areas with the best food availability, and it's best that they find their food in the wild. If food sources in town are limited, bears will likely spend more time in wild lands in their quest to fatten up.

Estes Valley residents play a major role in keeping bears wild, we can help by being conscientious and not leaving any types of food available to bears. Without the public's diligence in reducing human sources of food, we have limited success in avoiding and reducing conflicts.

Please, follow these tips to keep bears out of trouble and to reduce conflicts: • Obtain a bear-resistant trash can or dumpster. Check with local authorities or your trash service to determine what types can be used where you live. Keep

garbage in a well-secured location; and only put out garbage on the morning of pickup.

• Clean garbage cans regularly to eliminate food odors. If you don't have secure storage, put food scraps and items that might become smelly into the freezer.

Then put them in the trash on pick-up day.

• Don't leave pet food or feeding bowls outside.

• After you barbecue, make sure to clean your grill, each and every time.

• Attract birds naturally to your yard or garden with flowers and water features.

For those who use bird feeders, suspend them high above the ground so that they're inaccessible to bears; clean up beneath them every day and bring them in at night, • Tightly secure any compost piles.

Bears are attracted to the scent of rotting food.

• Clean-up thoroughly after picnics in the yard or on the deck. Don't allow food odors to linger.

• If you have fruit trees, pick fruit before it gets too ripe. Don't allow fruit to fall and rot on the ground.

• If you keep chickens or other small livestock, build a secure enclosure and bring the animals inside at night. Clean up pens regularly to reduce odors.

• Keep the bottom floor windows of your house, front and back doors and garage doors closed and locked when you're not at home. Lock car doors.

• Never intentionally feed bears or other wildlife. It's illegal and dangerous.

• When backcountry camping, use bear containers at campgrounds and when possible, lock food and trash in vehicles.

The Estes Valley Quilt Guild Meeting August 10 The Estes Valley Quilt Guild is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, August 10th at Good Samaritan Village, 1901 Ptarmigan Trail. The business meeting begins at 6:45 p.m., however, if you need to catch up with friends, please come at 6:30 to visit. Rita Meyerhoff is the guest speaker and her program is entitled, “Crazy Quilts, Old & New.” If you are a quilter visiting in Estes Park and would like to join us for the evening, we would love to have you join us.

We ask visitors for a $10 donation. This helps to cover the costs incurred to bring speakers in for the meetings.

Reminder: There is still a detour in effect.

From Rt. 34, you can turn onto Dry Gulch and follow the detour signs.

Crazy Quilts were the craze in 1876 and were seen all over the world. They were ex-

tremely popular in 1890s. It is believed that the idea of crazy quilts might have come from an antique Japanese vase that had a crackle glaze pattern. Rita will share many examples of antique and new crazy quilts, and their history.

Rita Meyerhoff has been a sewer and crafter since she was a young girl particularly in the areas of cross-stitch and embroidery. In 1993, she tried quilting by making her first sampler block quilt. Rita enjoys crazy quilting techniques anything from a full-size quilt to creating unique crazy quilt products such as pincushions, chatelaines, and wall hangings.

She has won numerous awards for her quilts at local quilt shows such as Colorado Quilt Council and Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum’s Echter’s Garden Quilt Shows. Rita’s latest Crazy Quilt was accepted into the Houston International quilt show in 2015.

PLANNING FOR PARENTHOOD

Perhaps you witnessed the news of a woman who had given birth to a set of twins each of the last three years. Three years…six babies. She said that she felt special that she was able to ‘birth babies’. I’m sure many rejoiced with her at the news. I’m happy that the babies all seem to be healthy and hope they will have a long and successful life. I must admit, however, that some questions came to mind. First of all, where is the ‘Dad’ in this rejoicing picture? It’s hard for one parent to raise a child by herself…let alone six children. While none was pictured, I learned that she has a fiancé. Hopefully, they will work together to raise these babies. Second of all, I, probably like you, would wonder where the money would come from to have and raise these, and any others they might have. I was disappointed to learn that they were soliciting help from many agencies and organizations to pay the expenses of the births and raising of the children, and were starting a ‘go-fund-me’ account to get funds from others to pay for their upcoming years.

Is there a problem with this picture? It seems that today we hear very little about ‘planning for parenthood’. The birth of a baby is usually seen as a ‘blessed event’ and a wonderful accomplishment by a mother who invests so much of herself to bring the child into the world.

However, what will be happening in the life of those ‘babies’ as they grow up? We live in a day when so many children are born and raised by single mothers. How would she be able to cope with the challenges of one child…let alone multiple children… if a father-figure was not present to assist with that child-rearing?

How often we see babies born who grow up without strong moral and societal values, values which could lead to self-reliance and successful lives. Newscasts continually report accounts of young people committing crimes against society, some horrendous, showing that they did not receive proper moral and societal values training. In many cases parents did not, early on when the child was young…or even before birth, sit down and plan how they were going to ‘parent’ that child, that ‘gift’ from God. Someone has observed, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”

This societal challenge…babies being born, with little thought of how to raise them… will probably always be with us. This is sad, especially since there are many resources available to guide in proper child-rearing and parenting. The Bible, of course, is one good resource of help here. It has much to say about this very important aspect of societal life. Capture this vision: highvalued women and men, having totally prepared themselves, bring into the world children whom they can afford and whom they will love, teach, train, encourage and guide all the way into a successful adulthood. The result? Children becoming successful, self-reliant, contributors to society in days to come.

God recommends these principles: “Husbands, love your wives…Wives, love your husbands…Children, obey your parents in the Lord”. Solomon urged, “Train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Paul submits: “Raise them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Joshua shares his example: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” If those, or others like them, fill our thinking as we ‘plan our parenthood’ our families and our society will be blessed.

Contemporary Plein Air painter Coni Grant will be teaching an oil painting workshop at the Art Center of Estes Park Wednesday, August 17. Coni combines a design background and innovative color ideas to express a distinctive view of the landscape. Her focus is “plein air” and when not traveling, Coni works out of her “Plein View” Studio in Alamosa, Colorado where she lives, paints, and teaches painting year round. Coni’s work can be seen at Earthwood Collections in Estes Park, Earthwood Gallery in Boulder, Wilder Nightingale Fine Art in Taos, and at the Great Southwest Gallery in Sedona.

Coni’s workshop, “Better PaintingsMore Confident Painters” is scheduled for Wednesday, August 17, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The class fee is $85 for non-members, and $76.50 for Art Center members. This workshop will focus on de-

Principles taught in class will help students become a more confident painter with any medium, whether painting en plein air, or in the studio.

Coni will bring landscape reference material and work with the class in the morning on a paint-along demo. The afternoon time will allow stu-

dents to continue to work on that piece or start something new from their own reference material. Students are encouraged to bring a favorite photo or piece of reference material to paint from, either color or black and white. Students should bring their own easels, painting supplies and whatever type types of supports they want to use. All media are welcome. Coni is predominantly an oil painter and will demonstrate in oil, but the design principles that will be discussed, demonstrated and practiced, will apply to oil, watermedia and pastels.

If you have any questions,

please call the Art Center (970-5865882) or feel free to email Coni at Conigrant@gmail.com.

The Shabby Moose Has Moved!

The Shabby Moose has moved, but not far away! If you've ventured downtown lately, you might have noticed that The Hiking Hut has moved into the space formerly occupied by The Shabby Moose, and maybe you wondered where that moose ran off to. Well, we can tell you he didn't go far, in fact he is right behind The Hiking Hut. The Shabby Moose is now located at 140 Moraine Avenue in the Park Theatre River Shops, next door to Colorado Hats, and just across the footbridge from The Barrel Beer Garden.

The shop offers an extraordinary shopping experience in their new tranquil space, with the music of Fall River trickling right outside the door, and all manner of magical treasures to be found within. Often described as a "living Pinterest," glorious home decor, vintage finds, and gracious gifts abound inside The Shabby Moose. You'll find gifts for the garden - including wind chimes, bird houses and feeders, and fairy garden items. They also carry a number of humorous signs, table linens, throw pillows, and even some scarves, jewelry, and handbags thrown in for your self adornment!

The Shabby Moose has added several new helpful services this year. One such service is the new Event Rental, which allows a client the opportunity to rent props and displays for a one time event, such as a wedding or photo shoot, rather than purchasing items which they may only use once. This is particularly convenient for couples planning destination weddings here in the mountains, who may not wish to purchase a large or ex-

pensive item that they cannot take home

with them.

Another service that Shabby is very excited about is their Special Order Design service! While they do carry a number of home decor items in stock, you now have option of choosing from a huge selection of special order window treatments, rugs, lighting, tableware, and many other home decor items. They can help you put it all together with fabric swatches and helpful design recommendations. Many large items can be delivered right to your door! The Shabby Moose is truly a one stop destination for all your decorating and gift giving needs!

Need For Home Care Providers Continues To Grow Aging Population Means Increased Demand for Professional CAREGivers The senior personal and home care job category will be the second fastest-growing job group in the nation over the next few years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS projects an estimated 1.15 million jobs in the field by 2016. With a growing senior population in the Estes Park area, this means there’s a growing need for workers to fill these positions.

“Those of us in the senior care industry know how rewarding it is. And it’s exciting that it’s growing so fast,” says Sarah Harlow, home care liaison of the Home Instead Senior Care® office serving Estes Park. “But rapid growth means that we’re always looking for caring and hardworking people to help us fill the demand for CAREGiversSM in the Estes Park region.”

Home Instead CAREGivers help seniors live independently and safely in their own homes or in residential care facilities. The growing number of seniors who wish to age in the comfort and security of their homes (about 86 percent, according to research), as well as the fact that up to 29 percent of Americans reportedly spend an average of 20 hours per week providing care for a chronically ill, disabled or aging loved one, is fueling the demand for more professional care providers.

“Typically, our CAREGivers help seniors with their non-medical care needs, such as medication reminders, bathing and hygiene, companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands and shopping,” says Harlow. “These are things that family members just can’t do all the time, particularly when they are working and have other family obligations. Our services provide a respite to family caregivers who may feel overwhelmed and need additional support.”

Working as a caregiver provides a positive, fulfilling opportunity for people of

all backgrounds and ages, said Harlow.

“We have CAREGivers from every walk of life, and every age group,” says Harlow. “In fact, we’ve discovered that seniors themselves make great CAREGivers and find it rewarding to care for others in need.”

For more information about a career in CAREGiving, please visit http://www.homeinstead.com/CAREGIVER/JOB-REQUIREMENTS. Learn more about the Home Instead office serving Estes Park by at www.homeinstead.com/365/ or by calling 970-494028.

About Home Instead Senior Care: Founded in 1994 in Omaha, Nebraska,

by Lori and Paul Hogan, the Home Instead Senior Care® network provides personalized care, support and education to help enhance the lives of aging adults and their families. Today, this network is the world's leading provider of inhome care services for seniors, with more than 1,000 independently owned and operated franchises that are estimated to annually provide more than 50 million hours of care throughout the United States and 16 other countries. Local Home Instead Senior Care offices employ approximately 65,000 CAREGiversSM worldwide who provide basic support services that enable seniors to live safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible. The Home Instead Senior Care network strives to partner with each client and his or her family members to help meet that individual’s needs. Services span the care continuum -- from providing companionship and personal care to specialized Alzheimer’s care and hospice support.

Also available are family caregiver education and support resources. At Home Instead Senior Care, it’s relationship before task, while striving to provide superior quality service. Call 970-494-0289 for more information.

Jason Mehl Gallery Show

Citizen Meetings with County Commissioner Tom Donnelly

Wed., August 10 @ 9:00am Estes Park Senior Center 220 4th Street, Estes Park

Jason in his studio

Artist Jason Mehl will be on hand at gallery vii in Allenspark this Saturday.

Originally from Dallas, Texas, artist Jason Mehl has spent the better part of a decade exploring the world while creating art. Mehl has produced work since the mid 90s, and began exhibiting in 2007.

Jason spent most of a decade traveling

around rapidly vanishing wilderness in North America. Living out of tents, hammocks, and a truck; seeking natural areas - areas with silence and solitude--places where dynamic forces create intriguing patterns over time.

Mehl lived in South Korea for five years where he produced and exhibited a body of sculpture.

In 2013, he closed his Seoul studio and returned home to Dallas with a full shipping container, and there he continues to work and exhibit.

Jason is in love with RMNP and hopes to reside here this winter after completing his artists residency at the Fairmont in Dallas, Texas. He would like to do an artists residency here, and possibly get back into climbing.

Please come meet Jason and see his latest works this Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. at gallery vii next to Charlie Eagle Plumes at 9889 Hwy 7.

Guests: Drew Davis & Pam Marcus-Bause Re: delivery of broadband services.

2016 Summer Worship Fest YMCA Of The Rockies This Sunday night discover the rich piano/keyboard melodies of Colorado Composer/pianist Jeff Van Devender. Jeff Van D as he is often known has a style of music that can be portrayed as ‘coffeehouse meets piano.’ Jeff Van D has been coming summers to the YMCA of the Rockies to perform since 1999 so some of us are already looking forward to hearing him play again.

He will be performing in Ponder Chapel at the YMCA of the Rockies at 7 p.m. on August 7, 2016. Ponder Chapel with its intimate atmosphere and stunning views is the perfect summer night venue for enjoying a collection of the melodies of Jeff Van D, whose skillful hands are those of an awesome artist. This is a free concert.

You will be able to listen as he paints musical landscapes featuring distant strains which reach deep into the soul.

His melodies have been described as a blending of classical, jazz, and rock influences with a peaceful touch of soul.

Listen close, you will be able to hear combinations that even words can’t describe so there’s no need for translation.

In addition to Jeff ‘s concert tours that

stretch from California to Chicago and lots of Rocky Mountain places in between and playing at his local church, Jeff has managed over the years to produce numerous cd albums. Also he has written and published nearly a dozen musical transcriptions of his original compositions into materials appropriate for children, schools, piano instructors and families.

Through faith based programs and activities, the YMCA of the Rockies Chapel Ministry seeks to create a culture that is spiritually engaging, safe and respectful of all.

“Meet The Artisan� Wendy Sollod, At The Monday Artisans Market "Meet the Artisan" celebrates our wonderful and talented local artisans at the Monday Artisans Market. Join us each Monday, 10:00 - 4:00, August and September at Riverside Plaza, and celebrate our local artisans.

"Meet the Artisan" brings together local and talented artisans to showcase their work. The event is free and open to the public. Every artist has a story. Meet the artisan in person, hear their stories and the inspiration behind their work.

This week's featured artisan is Wendy Sollod. Wendy works with polymer clay.

She was introduced to the medium by a friend in 1992. In May 1993, she participated in her first art fair. She loves color and working with her hands: polymer clay is a good fit.

Jewelry and hair accessories were her starting point— creating lightweight, affordable items.

Masks and figurative pieces came next— moving more and more toward using recycled, gathered and found objects.

Over the past year, the “up-cycled� portion of her work has increased. Dragonflies, bugs, and other creepy crawlies are her new passion. She considers her wall pieces,“Scavenger Art�— the end result of taking reclaimed items, and adding those to a unique polymer clay pattern to become pieces of modern folk art.

Each mask, sculpture or item of jewelry is created from original cane-worked polymer clay patterns. The background

of each "face" or body is painstakingly constructed by piecing together small square "tiles," or cross-sections, of each clay pattern onto a polymer clay slab; the resulting repetition of design creates the illusion of texture on a smooth surface.

Embellishments are then added after the piece has fused. Incorporated into every piece are: raffia, found objects, rusted metal, shells, wire, dried floral, beads, buttons, feathers, scavenged costume jewelry, ribbon or yarn. Named and signed, no two masks or sculptures are alike. Jewelry pieces are one-of-a-kind, created in a coordinating group of three to twelve items. I am inspired by masks the world over and faces on the street, as well as textiles, quilts and the work of Gustav Klimt.

Whimsey is important to Wendy's work.

She believes there is enough seriousness in the world. She would rather her art makes someone smile.. She finds inspiration in textiles, fanciful sculpture, recycled art, masks and joyful, color combinations.

The Monday Artisans Market offers a unique opportunity to enjoy and support local artisans. We are all about local art, local artisans, and our unique stories about our art, that makes each and every one of us unique. The Monday Artisans Market connects Estes Park residents, businesses, tourists and the arts within our community. Stop by, say hi, meet the artisans, see their labor of love, and hear their story.

Zoe West To Take Part In Junior National Young Leaders Eleven year old Zoe West from Estes Park was recently nominated to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, DC. This nomination was based on Zoe's academic achievement and demonstrated leadership.

Zoe was nominated by Ms. Prolly Frostman-Greenblatt, who recognizes her as a student with scholastic merit, maturity, and strength of character needed to represent Estes Park Schools at this unique leadership program.

Zoe will join other outstanding middle school students from across the United States as they attain a historical view of leadership and develop their own leadership skills and strategies for success in the 21st century.

“The Junior National Young Leaders Conference enables students to recognize their own leadership abilities in the context of great men and women from

the past and present,” said Andrew Potter, Chief Academic Officer for JrNYLC. “They return home with new confidence in their ability to make a positive impact in their school and communities.”

At the six-day conference, students take part in fun and exciting workshops and participate in simulations to confront the challenges faced by important leaders from the nation’s past. Scholars explore historically significant sites and memorials throughout Washington, D.C. to reflect upon and learn from leaders and events of the past.

“The students gain greater sense of themselves, their roles to preserve American democracy and their responsibilities as tomorrow’s leaders,” Potter said.

By attending JrNYLC, Zoe will prepare for the future and take the first step on a path to success in high school, college, and her career.

Congratulations Zoe!

Philbert excelled at “the taming of the shrewd.” When working with recalcitrant students he neither believed in nor practiced the decibel theory of persuasion. Instead, his soft, low, mellifluous voice seeped through callow defenses to elicit confessions and cooperation. “Facts are stubborn things,” he often remarked, quoting John Adams as he nudged way-

ward adolescents toward full accountability for dubious behavior.

“Calm adults equal calm kids” was the first thing Philbert said to ERS faculty in January 1994; his talented peers leaned forward. He counseled students to “Live one life.” When conflicts arose he raised a pertinent question: What is the best obtainable version of the truth? Students slow to trust him concocted exculpatory stories of dubious merit, prompting him to quote Sir Walter Scott, more in sorrow than in anger: “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive.” Over time they learned to match words with deeds.

Philbert: “Working with young people helped me understand what forgiveness is.

You can empathize with what they are doing but you have to be tough enough to confront them on how their behavior is negatively affecting themselves and others. I have become more patient with my own shortcomings as I have become patient with the shortcomings of others.”

Ultimately and fundamentally, Philbert Smith impelled adolescents to pursue lives of integrity. Victories were not guaranteed. Despite recurrent setbacks he was resolute, and found consolation in the life success of so many Eagle Rock alumni, and as well in Samuel Johnson’s 1755 preface to the first dictionary: “In this work, when it shall be found that much is omitted, let it not be forgotten that much likewise is performed.” Thanks, Phil.

Godspeed to you.

Our Wonderful World Travels To Iceland With Dick Kautz And Phil Straffin Our Wonderful World is the Estes Valley Library’s armchair-travel series spotlighting extraordinary destinations from around the world! Join us on Monday, August 8 at 7 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse for Iceland’s Landmannalauger to Skogar Trek & Beyond with Dick Kautz and Phil Straffin.

Easily the most popular hut-to-hut trek in Iceland, the Landmannalauger to Skogar trail winds from the hot springs at Landmannalauger through the spectacular volcanic terrain of the southern highlands to the ocean shore at Skogar.

Along the way travelers, ascend the 3,000 foot Hrafntinnusker plateau, with its sulfurous fumaroles and barren lava fields littered with obsidian. Then, the journey descends to 1,800 feet, discovering startlingly green moss covering en-

tire hillsides. This trek continues for a half day across the edge of the Maelifellssandur desert of black sand that stretches for miles. The final part of the trip includes a climb of the pass between the Myrdalsjokull and Eyjafjallajokull glaciers to visit two cinder cones created by the 2010 eruptions, and then descending past myriad water falls to the ocean. The final part of the trek will include exploring the setting of the Icelandic Sagas.

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

Look To Your Library: Library Space Redesign Off To A Great Start By: Peggy Moore, Patron & Account Services Supervisor

This August marks an exciting and historic month at the library. We commemorate the Estes Valley Library’s 100th anniversary with a grand celebration on Saturday, August 27. Save the date for that evening’s Centennial BBQ and Hoedown in the beautiful setting of the YMCA of the Rockies’ Assembly Hall.

August is also an ideal time to visit the library—to stroll through and savor the newly redesigned main floor. It’s the culmination of many years of careful listening to our community needs and planning for the future.

The work is complete, and feedback on the new design has been overwhelmingly positive. “I’m enjoying exploring my new library!” exclaimed a longtime library user. Many have expressed delight at the openness of the floor plan and how much natural light enters our windows.

cover not only regular print titles but also an extraordinary array of large-print books, now interfiled to help more readers discover this tremendous resource.

Reference books were interfiled years ago, which has worked successfully. If difficulty reading small print has discouraged you from picking up a good read this summer, give large print a try.

These books are even the perfect accompaniment while exercising on the treadmill or stationary bike.

Large print books are easy to spot on the shelf: just look for the bright yellow “LP” stickers on the spines.

Browse the library, and you’ll find it’s really all about the many choices that await you. You can find a book in regular print, large print, audiobook, or download an eBook to your device. Reading is alive and well—in more formats than ever before.

The wonderful transformation of the library’s main level wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Estes Valley Library’s Friends & Foundation.

And we couldn’t have completed it as quickly and efficiently without the assistance of our intrepid team of library volunteers. They never hesitate when help is needed.

Stop by the library and explore the new design—and always know that if there’s anything you can’t locate, we’re here to assist. It’s always our pleasure to help you find what you’re looking for.

Then be sure to join us for the special August 27 celebration (contact the library for ticket information). It will be a fun and spirited kickoff to usher in the next 100 years of our amazing hometown library.

Drop-In Tech Cafe ask basic questions about your computer, mobile phone or tablet. Library tech staff will be on hand to answer your questions.

Library Centennial BBQ To Honor Woman’s Club Before there was an incorporated Town of Estes Park, there was a library. And before there was a library, there was a Woman’s Club, which was instrumental in founding both the Estes Valley Library and the town, not to mention Rocky Mountain National Park. As part of the library’s Centennial Celebration, Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation will give special recognition to the Estes Park Woman’s Club at the Centennial BBQ & Hoedown, Saturday, August 27 at the YMCA of the Rockies.

Starting in 1924, the Estes Park Woman’s Club held dances and other social events to begin raising funds for a library. In 1916 they opened the doors, with 262 books, in the Estes Park School, located at the corner of Park Lane and MacGregor Avenue. That was just the beginning. By 1922 they had raised $5,000 and constructed the first standalone library building in Bond Park.

And from then until 1980, every director

of the (then) Estes Park Public Library was a member of the Woman’s Club. To this day, the club faithfully supports the library, most recently contributing to pay for a fireplace in upcoming renovations of the library’s second floor.

In addition to this special recognition, the Centennial BBQ & Hoedown will feature barbecue by Smokin’ Dave’s and music by the award winning bluegrass band Chain Station. 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.

Come on out for a dancin’ good time and celebrate the library! Tickets for the BBQ & Hoedown are available online at weblink.donorperfect.com/EVL100BBQ or by contacting Sara Walsh, Estes Valley Library Development Officer at (970) 586-8116 ext. 835 or by email to swalsh@estesvalleylibrary.org.

Celebrate The Library Centennial With Cake Crafts Decorating It’s time to celebrate the centennial at the library with cupcakes! Join us on Friday, August 19 for a cupcake decorating demonstration in the library atrium from 12 to 2 p.m., with Cake Crafts decorating expert Judy Ryal.

Judy has owned Cake Crafts, a cake decorating supply store in Englewood, for 8 years. Cake Crafts has many specialty cake decorating items that you can find online, but at Cake Crafts, you can actually come in to

look, touch, and feel these products in the store!

Prior to purchasing Cake Crafts in 2007, Judy had her own very successful wedding cake business in the Colorado Springs/Denver area, attaining the ‘Best of the Best’ award for the best wedding cakes in Denver from The Knot.com.

Judy began decorating cakes over 42 years ago, and now instructs all of the sugar art classes offered at Cake Crafts.

Computer Basics II: Managing Files Join Tech Guide, Diana Laughlin for Computer Basics II: Managing Files at the Estes Valley Library on Monday, August 8 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. At the Computer Basics II class, you will learn to email pictures, resumes and other files.

You’ll also learn to save your work and

keep it organized on you computer. This class will also teach you to back up your work and to copy and paste text.

This class will be taught on the Mac computers in the library’s computer lab.

Jennifer Morse, Salud VP of Development says, “We believe the health system is constantly changing, and we continue to adapt to each and every situation. These mascots will not only make our clinics more warm and inviting, but they will also help us build a relationship with our community. We welcome all our communities to participate and help create these characters made by them, for them.”

The contest ends Friday, August 5. Updates on the characters’ development will be shared on exploresalud.org/explorasalud.org and on Salud’s Facebook and Twitter pages. The final dinosaur characters will debut October 2016.

Summer Enchanted Evening At The Baldpate Inn August 10 Come join The Baldpate Inn on Wednesday, August 10th at 7 p.m. to learn about hummingbirds. Sit on the Sun Porch and enjoy the hummingbirds flying around. You will learn a lot about them with Tyler Edmondson showing the way.

Tyler Edmondson is the Education Di-

rector for Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, a Colorado-based nonprofit that conserves birds and their habitats.

Born and raised in Hershey, PA Tyler grew up exploring local rivers of chocolate and eastern deciduous forests near his home. After an internship as an interpreter with Rocky Mountain National

Park and receiving a bachelor's degree in environmental studies from Eastern University in 2003, the call west was too loud for him to ignore, so he promptly moved to Custer State Park in South Dakota and began his professional journey as an outdoor educator. Over the course of the last 13 years, this pursuit has taken Tyler from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to the redwoods of Northern California and a number of places in between.

During this time, Tyler was a naturalist and director at multiple summer camps and environmental education programs, including Sound to Sea, Caritas Creek Environmental Education at CYO Camp, and Gates Camp with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. He has been with the Bird Conservancy since 2012, first as the Community Education Coordinator, and now as the Education Director. He is responsible for managing the organization's Environmental Learning Center at Barr Lake State Park in Brighton, where he oversees a variety of environmental education programs including school field trips, summer camps, bird banding, Bird Tales

(a therapeutic program for engaging people with dementia through the natural word of birds) and in-class, community, family, homeschool and volunteer programs. Tyler is a Certified Interpretive Guide through the National Association for Interpretation, a graduate of National Outdoor Leadership School's

Outdoor Educator program, and an avid birder, hiker, backpacker, and fly-fisherman. Tyler is a dynamic presenter who will be revealing the wonders of hummingbirds during his evening at the Baldpate.

The Summer Enchanted Evenings at the Baldpate Inn, on Highway 7, are held every Wednesday throughout the summer beginning at 7:00 p.m. There is no charge, and refreshments in the Baldpate Key Room are provided. Consider joining us for dinner before the presentation and for more information or to make a reservation, call 970-586-KEYS (5397).

Employment SRA Golf Tournament Results On Friday, 7/22/16,16 members and guests of the Estes Park Summer Residents Association (SRA) participated in their annual golf tournament at the 18 hole golf course. The basic format used was a scramble format, with each team consisting of A/B/C/D male and female golfers. Everyone had a great time, with the weather cooperating beautifully.

There were prizes for two of the four teams, as well as several individual prizes. There was a tie for first place, with the tiebreaker being the fewest putts for the round. The winning team,

shooting a one over par 72, was a pairing of Pete Hogue, David Van Wert, Ray Fink, and Linda Hogue. The second place team, also at one over par 72, consisted of Azey Stephens, John Zimmann, Don Wilbur, and Dub Ryle. The long drive awards went to Pete Hogue winning the men's contest (hole 9) and Kathy Cannon winning the ladies contest (hole 6). In the closest to the pin contests, it was Azey Stephens taking the men's prize (hole 7) with none of the ladies able to claim the ladies' prize (hole 2). This prize will therefore be used to support the Junior Golf program.
