Recovery Efforts Completed For Missing Hiker Brian Perry Brian Perri’s body was recovered Tuesday morning by helicopter from Rocky Mountain National Park. His body was transferred to the Boulder County Coroner’s Office. Boulder County Coroner’s office will not release positive identification until completion of an autopsy. However, it is believed that the body is that of Brian Perri, 38, of Fort Collins, Colorado. On Saturday afternoon, July, 28, 2018, a ranger was responding to a SPOT device activation from a visitor recreating in the area. While looking for the source of the SPOT activation, the ranger came upon Perri’s body. Perri was located southwest (not northwest which was originally listed in a previous news release) of the summit of Mount Meeker in steep terrain. Mount Meeker (13,911 feet) is the second highest mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. Perri took an approximate 25 to 40 foot tumbling fall and appears to have died instantly. He was located downhill and southwest of the Mount Meeker summit photo that he texted to a friend on June 30. He was found above tree line at the base of a steep, nearly vertical drop off, consisting of large boulders, loose rock and talus scree slope. Searchers, including ground teams, a dog team and helicopter aerial operations were in the vicinity of where Perri’s body was located. Unfortunately, the steep terrain, angle, sheer size of the rocks and boulders as well as the coloring of his tan and green clothing made it extremely difficult to see him. Late Thursday July 5, 2018, park rangers were notified by Fort Collins Police that Brian Joseph Perri, 38, of Fort Collins, Colorado, had been reported as missing. Perri was last known in the Mount Meeker area of Rocky Mountain National Park. On June 30, Perri texted a friend a photograph of himself from the summit of Mount Meeker. After rangers were notified of the missing man on July 5, six days after he was expected back, they located Perri’s car in the parking lot at the Sandbeach Lake Trailhead. Perri was day hiking and was expected out on Saturday, June 30. Extensive search efforts began the evening
of Thursday, July 5, and encompassed significant sections of 22.5 square miles above tree line as well as forested areas. The majority of the search area was in rugged and remote terrain with loose rock, steep ridges, and exposed cliffs, on ridge lines and couloirs. The area was searched by helicopters, ground searchers, dog teams, and UAS reconnaissance. Assisting Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue members has been Larimer County Search and Rescue members and dog teams, Rocky Mountain Rescue based in Boulder County, Fort Collins Police, Northern Colorado Helitack, Colorado State University Police Department, Front Range Rescue Dogs, Search and Rescue Dogs of the United States(SARDUS) and Search and Rescue Dogs of Colorado (SARDOC), Flight For Life Air Ambulance and Colorado Search and Rescue Board members. Boulder County Coroner’s Office will determine the cause and date of death. The visitor who activated the SPOT device was located Saturday evening, July 28, by other rangers in the Keplinger Couloir area with a lower leg injury. Rangers remained with the man overnight. On Sunday morning, July 29, the hiker was taken by Flight For Life Air Ambulance to Estes Park Medical Center where he was treated and released that morning.

Tularemia Detected In Lily Lake Area Of Rocky Mountain National Park A dead beaver was recently found at the Lily Lake area in Rocky Mountain National Park and tested positive for tularemia. Tularemia was also detected in the Lily Lake area in 2015. Tularemia is a naturally occurring bacterial disease transmitted by infected insects and ticks to rabbits, hares, muskrats, beavers and other small rodents. Tularemia can also spread to humans and can cause serious clinical symptoms. People can help prevent infection by using insect repellent, washing hands, and giving wildlife their space. Never consume water that has not been treated or boiled. In humans, tularemia can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fever and chills, joint pain, muscle aches and headaches, dry cough and chest pain and an open sore and swelling at the site
of a tick bite or swollen lymph nodes. If someone becomes ill with any of these symptoms within two weeks of being in an affected area, they should seek medical attention and tell their doctor about possible exposure to tularemia. Tularemia can be treated successfully with antibiotics. For more information about tularemia visit www.cdc.gov/Tularemia/ Although tularemia is a native disease that occurs naturally, human impacts on the environment can affect wildlife habitats and promote the transmission and spread of diseases such as tularemia. By appreciating wildlife from a distance, we can help protect ourselves from tularemia. For information about Rocky Mountain National Park please call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Genealogical Society Meeting August 9 The Estes Park Genealogical Society will meet Thursday, August 9 at 4:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. Carol Stetser will present “Chasing Collaterals: Finding Your Ancestors without Really Looking for Them.” Family historians often limit their research to their “core” family, which means direct ancestors only. While this may seem to make research simpler, our ancestors didn’t live in a vacuum. They had aunts and uncles, cousins and friends and acquaintances, just like we do today. In the past, collateral research was often a daunting prospect because it frequently meant multi-state and multination research. Nowadays, the advent of the internet as well as DNA testing has simplified researchers’ ability to chase collaterals. This presentation focuses on how to use modern resources to find collateral relatives and shows how collateral research can solve tough genealogical puzzles that would block direct ancestor research. Carol is an avid genealogist whose love for genealogy is a natural outgrowth of her background in English and history. She has served in various capacities, including vice president and recording secretary, for several Colorado genealogical societies. In addition to researching her own family, Carol presently volunteers as the researcher for Larimer County Genealogical Society to help out-of-area researchers access local records, as well as volunteers for one-on-one genealogy help sessions at the local library. As a former public school teacher, Carol enjoys giving presentations on various aspects of genealogical research and sharing her love for genealogy by teaching Introductory and Intermediate Genealogy classes for LCGS. Her current favorite genealogical activity is serving on the LCGS Conference for a Cause Committee. The Society meets the second Thursday of every month from January through November in the library, offering a wide variety of programs and workshops. Anyone interested in genealogy and family history research is welcome to attend the meetings.

Lob politics right over the net and out of bounds. It feels so good, doesn’t it? But then, what’s left to talk about? Pickleball! Let’s talk about pickleball. I’ve been hearing about pickleball for years. People exclaim over how much they love to play the game. They can’t get enough of it! When I ask enthusiasts about it, they get a gleam in their eyes, their knees start to wobble, they run and leap over the net (set two inches shorter than for tennis), take the ready position, and then explain that it’s a combination of badminton, tennis and ping pong. Their gray hair reverts back to its original color and they drop 10 years in age. I tell ya, pickleball brings out the youth in its players (except when it comes to remembering the score. Then they’re like the rest of us who can’t remember where we put our keys, sunglasses and phones.) Yesterday I got a whiff of what pickleball players are talking about. (That was an attempt at a pun. The ball used in pickleball is a Wiffle ball.) My friend Alan offered to teach me and two colleagues the basics of the game. We were on the court for two hours and at the end of our lesson, we were playing like, well, like beginners—with potential. I look forward to increasing my pickleability through additional play. The paddle is half racquetball racquet and half ping-pong paddle. The court is like a miniature tennis court, and like I said, the ball is a Wiffle ball so it doesn’t have a lot of bounce. It’s a doubles game, so it is played two-on-two, and sometimes you play side-by-side with your partner while other times you play upand-back. You serve underhand, you have to let the ball bounce at first but then you don’t, you have to stay out of the “kitchen” if the ball doesn’t bounce but you can enter the kitchen if the ball does bounce, and you have to announce the score before you serve. That’s the hardest part of the game— announcing the score—because it’s not as simple as in volleyball where you state your team’s score and the opponent’s score. You have to remember if you’re the first server or the second server and that changes randomly. (I’m sure at some point it will become something other
than random, but after only one lesson, I can honestly say the server rank seems willy nilly.) If you can figure out how to keep score, you’re a winner at pickleball. That’s why the 50+ set loves the game: it challenges the body and the mind. Pickleball is Sudoku with a racquet. Everybody wants to know why this hugely popular game is called pickleball, of all things. It is rumored to have something to do with somebody’s dog named “Pickle.” But alas, such is not the case. Apparently Washington State Representative Joel Pritchard’s wife said the homegrown game he’d come up with in 1965 reminded her in some way of the crew of a pickle boat (the last fishing boat to return to the dock with its catch). Somehow that morphed into pickleball. The dog came two years later and was named for the game, not the other way around. The best part about pickleball, in my opinion, is the general attitude of fun. Of course there are competitive players, as there are in every game. But players are encouraged to bring friends to learn the game, introduce guests and make sure they feel welcome, help newcomers learn the game, play easy to allow beginners to improve, conduct themselves with the highest of sportsmanship and play fairly (plus, no cussing or talking bad about others on the court). Alan was a great pickleball instructor and in two hours he recruited three new players to the game by showing us how much he enjoys the game. When he sent us some guidelines later, he included this: “Competition is one of the joys of the sport but should never be an obstacle to having fun.” That’s pickleball. NOTE: Local pickleball players meet at the Stanley Park tennis courts to play from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. every day. Newcomers are always welcome. Loaner racquets are provided.

Street Improvement Program Takes Place Across Town In August Ballot issue 1A sales tax funds at work improving local streets Contractors for the Town of Estes Park will begin the 2018 Street Improvement Program in August. Vance Brothers, Inc will begin a Town-wide crack-sealing project the week of Aug. 6. The work consists of applying hot asphalt sealant to cracks in a portion of Town streets, effectively preventing water from penetrating the roadways and reducing potholes. Funds permitting, the treatment will be applied to approximately half of Townowned asphalt streets. Work is scheduled for completion by Aug. 17, weather permitting. Work is not expected to cause any full street closures, though moving lane closures and flagging will be necessary. Motorists should drive with caution in the work zone. All Pro Pavement will begin the overlaying and patching program approximately Aug. 13. This consists of overlaying or removing existing asphalt and replacing it with a new asphalt surface, depending on the condition of the existing pavement. The contractor will patch large sections of certain roads as well as replace concrete curb, gutter and ramps. This work is expected to be complete within two weeks, with construction on each road lasting only a few days. It is not expected to result in any full road closures, and flaggers will be present during active construction to direct traffic. Local access will be maintained although they may be brief periods when on-street parking and private driveways are blocked.
Vance Brothers will return to chip seal multiple town roads beginning August 20, weather permitting, for approximately one week. Chip sealing consists of spraying asphalt oil on the existing street surface, followed by the placement of small aggregate stone (“chips”) to those areas. The chips are then compacted for maximum adherence to the asphalt oil. The excess chips are then swept from the surface and a fog seal coat of asphalt oil is applied to hold them in place. This work is not expected to result in any full road closures, and flaggers will be present during active construction to direct traffic. Local access will be maintained although they may be brief periods when on-street parking and private driveways are blocked. All work is part of the 2024 Street Improvement Program (STIP) which aims to improve the average street system Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from 65 (2012 poor condition) to 73 (fair condition) by 2024. The plan, which receives its funding from the voter-approved 2014 Ballot Issue 1A sales tax, includes extensive preventative maintenance which will improve road conditions throughout the Town. For more information including work locations, please contact the Public Works Department at 970-577-3587 or visit www.estes.org/streetimprovements. To receive Town news and/or meeting agendas in your email inbox, please visit www.estes.org/subscribe.

Historic Win For Local Teen Halley Moak For the first time in the over 50 year history of the summer Hunter/Jumper Festival and Show in Estes Park, a local native has won Grand Champion honors. Halley Moak, a 15 year old local resident rode her retired Photo by Marsha Hobert race horse, My King, to the medium stirrup Grand Championship. Two years ago, Halley was a rank beginner in the Hunter/Jumper world. She and King have had an extremely successful year competing in the 2'3" complicated courses of jumps, and Halley is in the top three riders in the state for Colorado Hunter Jumper Association points. The Estes Park summer show, Copper Penny, is a prestigious event, drawing riders from all over the country to compete. Halley and King earned both equitation and hunter Grand Champion. The equitation competition is judged on the rider, while the hunter competition is judged on the horse's form. Halley has been trained
from the beginning by nationally recognized trainer and judge, Beth Nielsen of Longmont, Colorado. They have trained together since October, 2016. Halley's goal for 2018 was to qualify for the
CHJA Medal finals in October, and she will travel to Denver to complete at the National Western Complex. Halley capped her two weeks of showing on her home turf with a Medium Stirrup Medal win, and placing in the All Stirrup Derby and Classic classes. She is grateful for the gift of her wonderful horse from long time family friend, Annette Bishop, of Lakewood, Colorado.
Come One, Come All! Fundraiser For Tammy Grewe There will be a fundraiser for Tammy Grewe held on September 1st at the American Legion Post 119 from noon-10 p.m. Tammy was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. However, through more testing, the doctors found that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes. The plan of attack is now going to involve chemo and radiation. Tammy and her husband David have been married for 37 years and have lived in Estes Park for longer than that. Together they have raised two beautiful girls and are now grandparents to four awesome kids. We have all been affected by cancer in our lifetime and we know how terrible it
can be. We are raising money to help this amazing couple through this trying time. It would help cover the cost of the deductible, the items insurance will not cover as well as missed income due to doctor's appointments. If you are unable to attend the benefit at the Legion and would still like to make a donation you can do so through the GoFund Me account at www.gofundme.com/3y5nr-helpTammy-Beat-Breast-Cancer or the Tammy Grewe Fund at Premier Members Credit Union. Please come out and show your support for this cherished local. No amount is too small, anything will help and will be greatly appreciated.

State Farm, Bloomington, IL
The Estes Valley branch of the Larimer County Democrats will meet on Tuesday, August 7, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. If you want a wake-up call -- on August 7, we will be just three months away from the 2018 Mid-Term Election. There will be only 69 days until Colorado ballots are mailed and only 91 days to the final vote on November 6. The meeting agenda includes a timetable of activities and campaigning for the Democratic candidates on the November 6 ballot, an update on efforts by the Colorado Democrats, plus voter outreach efforts, and other events leading up to the November General Election. We will also be discussing the status of ballot issues and other initiatives for November. Voting in this 2018 mid-term election is important at all levels, including federal, state and county. At the state level, specific issues are redistricting and protecting your voting status. First, state office holders and legislators elected in 2018 will be influential in Colorado redistricting efforts. Redistricting will be
based on the 2020 census, and Colorado should gain an 8th Congressional due to population growth. There are two redistricting proposals on the November ballot to govern how Colorado will draw new District boundaries. Next on the list of important reasons to vote is a recent Supreme Court decision that has allowed state voter purges. This decision was not directly tied to Colorado; however, we all should be concerned about maintaining our active voter status so no one is denied access to the ballot box. Please plan to attend our meeting to discuss the 2018 candidates, campaigning, and ballot issues for the November election. Precinct Committee Persons, County and State delegates, plus volunteers should plan to attend, as well as other Democrats and Unaffiliated voters interested in working with the Democrats in the 2018 elections. Please mark your calendars for our future meeting dates of September 11 and October 9, with similar times and same location. For more information, you may email Vicky Henry, Democratic PCP Coordinator, at DemsVHenry@yahoo.com.

style. Enjoy this video link: https://youtu.be/tj8i3XALlFk Come and enjoy an evening of harmony in the beautiful setting of Performance Park.

‘THE GAME IS ONLY HALF OVER!” On New Year’s Day, 1929, Georgia Tech played the University of California in the Rose Bowl. Late in the second quarter, Georgia Tech handed the ball off to their running back, Jack Thomason, who fumbled. Roy Reigels picked up the ball and began to run as hard as he could…but in the wrong direction. One of his teammates, Benny Lom, chased him and tackled him just before he could score for the other team. However, Tech did score a safety, giving them the lead. The strange play happened in the first half and everyone wondered whether Coach Price would use Reigels in the second half. During halftime all the players sat on the benches in the fieldhouse…except for Reigels who put a blanket around his shoulders, in a corner and cried like a baby. Coach Price was quiet. When the refs told the team there were three minutes until the second half would begin, he announced: “Men, the same team that started the first half will start the second.” The players started out…except for Reigels. He didn’t budge. The coach finally went over to him and said, “Roy, didn’t you hear me? The same team that started the first half will start the second.” Roy Reigels looked up, his cheeks wet from crying, “Coach, I can’t do that. I’ve ruined you. I’ve ruined the University of California. I’ve ruined myself. I couldn’t face the crowd to save my life.” Coach Price placed his hand on his shoulder and said, “Roy, get up and go back out there. The game is only half over.” Roy Reigels went back, and later everyone, even the Georgia Tech players and coaches, would say, “You’ve never seen a man play football like he did the second half.” The Rose Bowl still considers it to be one of the most famous plays in Rose Bowl history. Georgia Tech won an 8-7 victory as 71,000 fans watched. The single play was so heavily covered by the media that is considered a turning point in the general popularity of college football. And people have laughed about it for years. But that’s all beside the point. The point is that Roy Reigels didn’t quit. And neither can we when we ‘mess up’. It doesn’t matter if we are on a football field, in a classroom or on a job. Sometimes we are going to ‘run the wrong way’. Everyone will blow it. Everyone will fail. Everyone will make mistakes. I remember a young woman, a beginning dental assistant, who was tremendously afraid she would do ‘mess up’. Her dentist ‘boss’ sensed this and said to her privately, “Bobbi, you see that box over on the window sill? That’s the ‘Nerd Box’. Whenever any of us make a mistake, we put a dollar in the Nerd Box. Every year we all go out and eat steaks paid for by the Nerd Box. So, don’t worry. You may contribute more for that meal than some, but all of us will be paying for part of it. Just do your best.” His encouraging words totally changed her. We all fail. The Bible tells us so. The Bible tells us stories of those who did…such as the ‘Prodigal Son’…but who did not quit. “All sin and come short.” I hope all of us can gain encouragement from Roy Reigels, Bobbi, and ‘the Boxer’ and refuse to quit, just keep trying. In Paul Simon’s song, ‘The Boxer’, he sings: “In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade. And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame. ‘I am leaving! I am leaving!’ But the fighter still remains.” May we all display that determination to ‘keep on keeping on’…and winning greater victories as we go. Bob

It will begin at 1:00 p.m. and go around Lake Estes, starting from the south side of the Estes Park Visitors' Center off Highway 34. CROP Walks for the Hungry is a fundraising program of Church World Service and is sponsored by churches and church organizations across the country to raise funds for emergency situations and self-help programs here in the United States and around the world. Church World service is usually one of the first organizations to respond following natural disasters such as floods, famines and earthquakes as well as human-caused disasters such as war. They also initiate and carry out many self-help programs in education, agriculture, medicine (including AIDS prevention), clean water, and entrepreneurial and craft projects. The work of Non-Governmental Organizations is extremely important at this time because of the elimination, and

The needs are urgent and staggering. Twenty-five percent of all funds collected will be returned to our local food bank, Crossroads. Walk sponsor sheets for the hunger walk will be available at the First United Methodist Church of Estes Park, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church and from Don Holmes of Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, or from the CROP Walk Coordinator, Peter Vanderveen, at 970-5860578. If you would like to walk for the hungry and help meet the needs of the needy beyond your doorstep, pick up a sponsor sheet next time you are at one of the above-mentioned churches.

Baldpate Inn Program On “The History Of Estes From Ancient To Modern Times” The Baldpate Inn is honored to announce a fascinating Summer Enchanted Evening on Wednesday, August 8th at 7 p.m. in the Baldpate Key Room for our talk: The History of Estes from Ancient to Modern Times. Bruce Davies of Tour Estes Park is a native of Colorado and grew up along the front range in the countryside near Berthoud. He studied performing arts, business, and economics at Grand Canyon College in Phoenix, AZ. In 2009 Bruce moved to Estes Park and after almost thirty years as a commission salesperson decided to take a different direction and assumed a position at The Historic Stanley Hotel as a concierge for The Lodge next door to the main portion of the hotel. Part of his duties would be to inform guests about things to do in the area and the wonderful history of the hotel and Rocky Mountain National Park. It was at this time that he really fell in love with the history of the people and the area and became involved with the Estes Park Museum conducting historic downtown walking tours and going on to serve two years on the board of direc-
tors of the Museum Friends. After the tourist season ended in 2014 Bruce decided to create his own personal guided tour service and has introduced hundreds of people from all over the United States and the world to this amazing place called Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park. Tour Estes Park has recently received the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor and has a five-star rating for customer satisfaction. This free information session is part of our Summer Enchanted Evenings series that runs from June through September. Our Wednesday evening series is part history, part natural history, and part show & tell. Topics will range from Mountaineering to live yaks. Check out our website at www.BaldpateInn.com or call us at 970586-5397 for further information and for other Summer Enchanted Evening events all summer long. We also invite you to make reservations for dinner to enjoy our homemade soup and salad buffet before our enchanted evenings begin!

Allenspark Hilltop Guild Presents 70th Summer Bazaar This Saturday
Why would 12 women spend eight hours making 60+ pounds of homemade peanut brittle? Because the 70th Hilltop Guild Summer Bazaar is this Saturday,
August 4 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.! “Every year we make more, and every year we sell out,” said Hilltop Guild President Diane Turechek. And there’s so much more you’ll find at the bazaar, like knit, crochet, woven and quilted items, homemade jellies (made with local berries, gathered in competition with the bears each summer!), jewelry, artistic gourds, handmade stationary, photographs and more. The Annual Bazaar takes place at The Kelley House in Allenspark on Saturday, August 4 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. The location is 18720 Highway 7; fifteen miles from Lyons, and just 30 minutes south of Estes Park on Highway 7. The Hilltop Guild is a productive and
creative association of members who live in the Allenspark, Riverside and Raymond communities. Members create handmade crafts throughout the year, which are sold during its annual bazaar the first Saturday. This year there is also a wide variety of 1930s vintage hand-pieced tops and full quilts for sale, in the double wedding ring, grandmother’s garden and combination rose. “The family of a dedicated guild member gifted these to us, and proceeds will support our scholarship and philanthropy efforts. The quilt pieces and quilts were created by several generations of the family dating back to 1900,” said Turechek. There’s also a Flea Market filled with items donated by area residents over the past year, including books, electronics, collectibles, kitchenware,
art and more. Loose Change will also be performing at the bazaar. You’ll want to be sure to buy raffle tickets for a woven wall hanging, hand colored vintage photograph, a mountain print quilt, vintage Coca-Cola wooden children’s wagon and a decorated gourd by master gourd artist Vicki Dyas. Raffle tickets are 3 for $5. The Hilltop Guild was founded in the
late 1940s, and its goal is to return the fruits of their labors to areas of need in the greater Allenspark area and beyond. The group meets weekly throughout the year to learn new skills and create items to be sold. The Kelley House has a Loom Room with eight floor looms. Area weavers create many of the items that will be for sale, including placemats, table runners, scarves and more. Proceeds go toward scholarships, the Allenspark Fire Department, Native Americans and other philanthropic causes. The group also maintains the site of the historic Allen cabin, the original homestead in Allenspark, as well as the Bunce School. The Bunce School holds a Historic Designation from the State of Colorado and County of Boulder, and is recognized by the National Register. It is one of two rural log schoolhouses remaining in Boulder County and is located near the Kelley House, the location of the summer bazaar.

My Kind Of Mexico
By: Ruth Olstrom
The Wedding Reception When I came out of el Templo de San Agustín where Dulce had been married, it was getting dark. Lola told me her brother Mario would give me a ride to the wedding reception, so his wife Carolina took my arm in hers and we walked swiftly across the deserted plaza to wait for Mario in front of brightly lit “tiendas,” shops. After a long time, with my hopes raised and dashed by the many cars that whizzed by, a dark van pulled up and stopped. When Carolina boldly climbed in the front, I got in the back seat. We arrived in the parking lot of the reception venue, “La Granja,” and I was introduced to Mario and Carolina’s grown daughters. We all walked carefully down a winding rough stone path to the dining area prepared for 200 people. I sat down in a folding chair with Lola on my right and Felipe next to her. To my left was Luis, a shy college friend of Dulce’s; I had met him earlier in the week. Thirsty, I first asked a waiter for a Coke and then ordered tequila, which came in a tall thin glass mixed with Squirt. Our table was closest to the newlyweds’ private table in the front, with the D. J., his equipment, and a large screen on the other side. Dulce had removed the long train from her wedding dress, but she still looked like a princess as she and
Paco moved around the room, greeting their guests. From my journal: “The reception meal started with a delicious creamed soup that could have been made of ‘nopales,’ prickly pear cactus, but I really didn’t know what I was eating. Then we were served a chicken breast covered in sweet chili sauce, with a salad of greens and sprouts. After the meal, Paco and Dulce danced the first dance to traditional ‘romántico’ music. Felipe danced next with Dulce while Paco and Lola danced together, and then the other parents, José and Silvia, took their turn. As if in order, brothers and sisters-in-law and other family members walked up to dance with Dulce and Paco to music in both Spanish and English. After a while, other couples joined the dancers on the floor. As the night went on, the D. J.’s music got younger, faster and ‘harder.’ Then it was just young people dancing. At 1:00, as scheduled, the Mariachi Campanas de Santa Cruz band showed up with trumpets, violins, guitars, and a guitarrón. Young and old were soon singing the old traditional songs along with the mariachis.” At 2:30, longing for my cozy bed on the floor, I told Felipe I was tired and wanted to go home. “Okay, Ruth,” said Felipe in his gentle way. Lola and I gathered our belongings and began to say our goodbyes. Finally, I walked over to beautiful Dulce in her white wedding gown, with Paco by her side. She started to cry when I came up to her. Fourteen years ago, Dulce had to stay behind at the house with Monsé the housekeeper when Lola and Felipe took me to the airport to fly back to Colorado. As I walked away from that little girl, I knew I could not turn around to look at her one more time; I would be lost. This night, as Dulce and I hugged, I told her she was “mi hija,” my daughter. I said brokenly, “The last time I left you in Salamanca I thought my heart would break, but this time you have Paco and a good life. I’m so happy for you!” Next week: Sunday with Lola and Felipe

Sweet Dreams For Little Ones: Debuting An Estes Valley Original tor functions through cooperative play. Last summer, we asked Nancy if she would record her vocals to a lullabies CD that would become
By: Melanie Kozlowski and Apelles Morales, Youth Services Librarians
Picture a happy baby drifting off to sleep. What could be a more peaceful thought? We adults find serenity just imagining this moment. Newborns and infants—and their parents—here in the Estes valley can rejoice in a brand-new resource. The library has collaborated with Estes Park’s board-certified music therapist, Nancy Bell, to release an original and professionallyrecorded CD of lullabies: “Sweet Dreams: Tender Songs for Little Ones.” Nancy has been working with the library over the past five years, leading our Early Childhood Music Workshops, a multi-sensory experience for young children that spans the development milestones, building cognitive and mo-
part of the Bags for Babies given to parents of every newborn in the Estes valley. The project was nearly a year in the making. Nancy worked with Brett Wilson at SkyDance Mountain recording to achieve the highest quality for the CD, making many trips to Berthoud where Brett’s studio is located. The ten songs featured on the CD were especially chosen for their soothing and light tones and melodies that would be pleasing to a baby’s ears. Songs include the traditional Welsh folk song, “All
Through the Night,” and the American folk song, “Sing Your Way Home,” and Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” Because babies don’t yet speak language like we do, we might think they aren’t yet ready to hear stories, songs, or to be read to. Yet nothing could be farther from reality. In fact, infancy is a critical time for babies to hear words and melodies—and for parents to read them stories. During his or her first year, a baby’s mind is developing and organizing to take in all sounds. A baby is drawn to the
human voice. And very quickly, they are understanding these sounds, building trust and confidence, and beginning to copy words and sounds. On a cognitive level, a baby’s brain is forming synapses, which are the pathways between nerve cells. One thousand
trillion synapses form just in a child’s first eight months. That’s why parents of newborns receive an invitation to stop by the library and pick up a free Bag for Babies, which contains a board book, the booklets “Reading Aloud” and “Games to Play with Babies,” a baby toothbrush—and now the CD, “Sweet Dreams.” The Bags for Babies program has been going strong for many years. Materials are bundled in a charming cloth bag, hand-sewn by our own library volunteer, Ginny Thompson. The “Sweet Dreams” CD is not for sale—or found anywhere else. It will be used exclusively for the Bags for Babies. We thank the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation and the Bank of Colorado for the generous financial support that made this project possible. And don’t forget that we grown-ups can keep our minds creative with the many unique items available for check-out. That includes our music-themed Discovery Kits: you can borrow and learn to play the ukulele, the pat bells, or the Tibetan singing bowl. Ask us about these on your next visit. May the little ones of the Estes Valley— and their parents—enjoy these soothings sounds on their journey to happy dreams and imagination.
Traversing The Northwest Passage And The Arctic
The “Our Wonderful World” concludes its 12th season of armchair traveladventures this Monday, August 6 with a presentation by Don Sessions titled “The Northwest Passage.” Sponsored by the Estes Valley Library, the free presentation takes place at 7 p.m. at the American Legion Post 119 at 850 N. St. Vrain Avenue. Don Sessions of St. Louis, Missouri, has enjoyed a lifelong interest in the Arctic region. He has participated in eight canoe expeditions to Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. Many of the trips
led him to the Arctic Ocean. At Monday’s presentation, Sessions will spotlight his adventure traversing the Northwest Passage and delving into the lively history of Arctic exploration. Monday’s program is the final event in this year’s ten-part series. The Library thanks all of this year’s presenters, as well as the hundreds of attendees who have made this summer’s series a success. Thanks as well to the American Legion Post 119 for providing this year’s venue.

Thoughts About The Possible Mountain Coaster To The Editor: I am deeply concerned about three impacts that the proposed Mountain Coaster will have on our town. This amusement is slated to operate twelve hours per day, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, during the summer and on winter weekends. There will be a noise impact for those living close to the site. The residents and employees of Good Sam, located directly across the road, will deal with the screams of 240 coaster riders per hour and the screeching brakes of the cars carrying them when they stop. Services, weddings, funerals, and meetings at Shepard of the Mountain Lutheran Church will have to deal with the noise impact, as well. This area is the most densely populated part of Estes Park. Residents living in the area will, also, be impacted. Traffic on Dry Gulch and on US 34 will be impacted. The Town portion of Dry Gulch was recently upgraded. But, it remains a two lane road. It is often difficult to turn left from Dry Gulch onto US 34. It is, sometimes, hard to turn right,
as well. Adding the proposed number of cars, shuttle buses and pedestrians into the mix will certainly make a bad situation much worse, if not dangerous. Any future "fixes" for Dry Gulch will be paid for by the Town residents as the Mountain Coaster is on county land and the amusement will not pay taxes to the Town. The third impact is to the wildlife. Currently this area has elk, moose, deer, bears, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, badgers, chipmunks, and other rodents. The land is, also, home to eagles, hawks, osprey, ravens, cranes, bluebirds, hummingbirds and many many other migratory birds. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has stated, "With development of the Mountain Coaster project, wildlife use in this area may be significantly impacted." We pride ourselves on our wonderful setting, including our wildlife. Is it not our duty to protect them and their habitat from the impact of a decidedly intrusive amusement? Mary Bopp Estes Park
Another Town Need To The Editor: Because Estes Park is a growing a retirement community, many of us believe it is long past time for the current trustees to begin anticipating both future and current local community needs. With our present population, an Adult Day Center seems at least as pressing as a Child Care Center. In 2017 The Alzheimer’s Association estimated that in the United States there were 5.7 million people living with Alzheimer’s dementia, and 5.5 million of those were age 65 or older. Typically, the burden of care for these seniors falls on family caregivers; the value of this care in 2017 was estimated at $375 billion/year. Converted to Estes Valley numbers, with its population of roughly 10,000 in-
dividuals, we would expect there to be around 170 people in the valley at various stages of Alzheimer’s dementia, and another 100 or so people with one of the other dementias. Not thinking about these individuals is easy when they are largely out of sight and being cared for by family members. But these families also need at least occasional respite, something a high quality Adult Day program could provide. Hopefully, the new Town Board will put an item like this high on its list of town needs -along with affordable housing, child day care, and preserving what’s left of Stanley Park. David Born Estes Valley
William Watson William Estes Watson, Sr. passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on July 26, 2018. He was born July 18, 1924 in Estes Park, CO to Emily (Heim) and George Harriman Watson. He grew up in Estes Park attending the Estes Park schools and worked as a boy in the family ice, coal, and wood business. Bill married the love of his life, Vivianne Maureen Bowsher on February 6, 1944. He started Watson Truck Line in 1952 and sold it in 1970 to his son, Jim. He started Estes Park Excavation in 1967 and he built Mary’s Lake Campground in 1968. He and Vivianne ran the campground together until around 1980, when he retired so they could become snowbirds, spending the summers in Estes Park, where he could be seen around town delivering freight for many years for his son, Jim, and then spending the winters in Bullhead City, AZ. During that time, they also built and ran Alpine Self Storage on Dunraven in Estes. He and Vivianne also had a townhouse on the beach in Puerto Penasco, Sonora, MX where they spent a few months of the year and had many great Christmases over the years with
their family and friends. Bill was a volunteer firefighter for 30 years, a past member of Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club and charter member of the Masonic Lodge in Estes Park. He was an avid sports fan from high school to pro. He loved to travel and he and Vivianne belonged to Ports of Call. Bill is survived by his wife of 74 years, Vivianne, his sister Betty Vetter of Whippany NJ, his children: Bonnie Watson of Estes Park, William, Jr. (Donna) of Buena Vista CO, Jim (Debbie) of Estes Park, and Elah (Steve) Bethel of Loveland, CO. He was blessed with 16 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren. Bill is preceded in death by his parents, his brothers and sister in laws: George and Margaret and Jim and Rae, and his brother in law Robert Vetter. Since Bill was a native of Estes Park and he and Vivianne have always been great animal lovers, having had horses, dogs and cats over the years, in lieu of flowers, the family is asking you to please make a donation in his name to the Estes Park Pet Association or Estes Park Museum in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Ave., Estes Park, CO 80517. See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Bill’s family.
