Ribbon Cutting Ceremony For Trail Ridge Store Solar Panels Please join us on Wednesday, August 29 at 10 a.m. as we "cut the ribbon" on a new 56 kilowatt solar installation at the Trail Ridge Store in Rocky Mountain National Park. The system, a combination of photovoltaic panels and battery storage, will provide nearly all of the electricity required for the store and will reduce emissions from the current diesel generators by 56 MT CO2e/yr, or the equivalent of taking 12 passenger vehicles off the road each year. The project was funded by Xanterra Travel Collection, which operates the store, and was designed and installed by Independent Power Systems (IPS) of Boulder, CO. The project was completed in conjunction with many other improvements to the store, including a new roof, a totally remodeled cafĂŠ, all new LED lights and controls, new windows,

and more. The National Park Service provided review and oversight throughout the project's timeline. Brief presentations about the project will be given by Xanterra, IPS, and the National Park Service. Optional, guided tours of the custom built, stateof-the-art electrical equipment room and educational display will also be offered at the conclusion of the ceremony. Interview opportunities can be arranged in advance, if desired. Please RSVP to Kevin Crosby at the information below by Friday, August 24 if you plan to attend.

Tuskegee “Top Gun” Pilot To Speak In Estes Park August 30th

In May of 1949, 1st Lt. James Harvey III took off from Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada in an obsolete P-47N Thunderbolt propeller-driven fighter and flew into history. He and three other pilots who trained at Tuskegee Air Base in Alabama would distinguish themselves by winning the first Top Gun Weapons Meet in U. S. Air Force history. The winning team from the 332nd Fighter Group outperformed 11 other Air Force "Top Gun" teams, flying cutting-edge aircraft. They won the trophy for a series of aerial bombing, strafing and rocket-firing competitions. Curiously, for 46 years the 332nd Fighter Group was never recognized as winner of the Top Gun meet. Each year when the Air Force Magazine’s almanac came out, the winner of the 1949 weapons meet was always listed as “unknown” says Harvey. Furthermore, the trophy from that competition remained locked in a warehouse at WrightPatterson AFB, Ohio until it finally surfaced in 1995. "They just didn't want the public to know about the Tuskegee airmen and how good we were," Harvey told the Las Vegas Review-Journal during an interview. That winning team was composed of all African Americans – graduates of flight training at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama during World War Two. The Tuskegee airmen were the first AfricanAmerican military aviators in the United

States armed forces. Harvey became the first black jet fighter pilot to fly missions over Korean airspace. Retired Lt. Col. James Harvey will share his experiences as an Air Force pilot when he speaks at the American Legion, Post #119 on Thursday, August 30th at 7:00 p.m. His speech is sponsored by the American Legion, Air Force Association, the Rotary Club of Estes Park and several private citizens. The presentation is open to the public, at no charge. His talk will recall the obstacles Tuskegee Airmen had to overcome both in the service, and out of it, when Jim Crow laws permeated the south. There were separate drinking fountains, separate eating facilities, separate clubs. The entire air base was segregated. Tension grew until the base commander was replaced and the new commander did away with all the segregated activities. Everyone ate, worked, socialized and did everything together. The Tuskegee Airmen once numbered more than 900. Like a lot of WWII units, that number has shriveled to just a few dozen. Not all were pilots. In fact the majority served as ground support personnel, mechanics, nurses and instructors. Harvey’s story is compelling, revealing, educational, and inspiring.

Estes Park Icon Ray Young Needs Our Help!

Ray Young has been a fixture and constant source of spirit, fun, entertainment and humanity in the Estes Valley. His exceptional musical skills have entertained thousands for over half a century. Ray graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University with a major in liturgical pipe organ performance and has played for countless churches and musical venues through his 90 years of life. He has been a major feature in the Catch the Glow Parade, entertaining thousands of holiday parade goers with his iconic music. He also is renowned for his jazz piano playing and up until just recently was entertaining diners at Nicky’s Steak House in Estes Park. Ray has also generously taught many Estes Park kids to play the piano and for many years accompanied students in music programs at the Estes Park Schools, elementary through high school. Ray recently had a medical issue which resulted in hospitalization and some very large medical bills. He now is in need of long-term care and his family is asking for help to keep him here in Estes Park so that we may all continue to be blessed with the musical cheer he has shared with us all. According to Ray’s son, Michael, the financial situation is serious. They will

soon be moving him into Good Samaritan Society and the family is doing all they can but are still in need of some assistance. Michael said, “He's doing so well. He's wowing everyone at Prospect Park Living Center with his piano playing, and everyone just loves him. His spirits are good, and my sisters Regan and Jennifer and I are working furiously getting aid wherever possible. We're working on selling the condo and his car, and that will help as well.” Michael continued, “We're trying to stay positive, thats why we're reaching out to our loving community. His GoFundMe account has brought in $3,000 so far, and that’s good. Thanks so much to all for the kind contributions already received, it’s a wonderful start! We thank you for any future donations as well! Each and every donation we receive will go towards helping our Dad keep his million dollar smile going.” Those who wish to donate may give to the GoFund me page at www.gofundme.com/save-ray-young or email Ray’s son, Michael Young at luciyou@yahoo.com and let him know how you would like to help.

Beyond NASA: Private, Commercial And International Spaceflight “Beyond NASA: Private, Commercial and International Space Flight” is the subject of this month’s Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) meeting. EVAS in conjunction with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public open house/star night on Saturday, August 25, 2018. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley. Our speaker for this public star night will be Dr Suzanne Metlay from Western Governors University. We are nearly 20 years into the 21st century and Colorado is 1st in U. S. private sector aerospace employment, has the 2nd largest aerospace economy in the country, and ranks 3rd for awarded NASA contracts. So let’s put that in context – in the 60 years since Sputnik, how has space industry expanded away from NASA and into the international private sector? Let’s think back, look around, and venture forward into the next decade of spaceflight. Suzanne Metlay is full-time faculty in

Daniel Sprick Film Featured In Conjunction With Plein Air Event

On August 29, the Art Center of Estes Park, in conjunction with its Estes Valley Plein Air show, will be present a viewing of a PBS film about Daniel Sprick. This Colorado Public Television production entitled “Daniel Sprick: Pursuit of Truth and Beauty,” will examine the life and work of Sprick who is one of the world’s greatest contemporary realist painters, a modern day master. This hour-long film that reveals the 60 plus year career of the Colorado resident will take place at the Estes Park Museum at 200 4th Street at 7:00 p.m. Excited by the image of an airplane that his father had drawn, Sprick began art at an early age. His recent works, including many painted in New Mexico, now have been compared to those of Dutch and Flemish Masters. This profile reveals a story of artistic inspiration, vision, and fulfillment.

Learning Place Welcomes New Students It’s back to school time in the Estes Valley! Believing education unlocks dreams, we support students of all ages -inspiring a lifelong love of learning. The Estes Park Learning Place, in our sixteenth year as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, offers one-to-one tutoring for K-12 in all subject areas; as well as prep for PSAT; SAT, ACT, ASVAB and GRE. We also work with adults working toward their GED. We serve the Estes Valley as a Test Center for GED and for visitors who are away from their college or university and need to take a proctored exam. Our tutors have many years of teaching experience and most have a Master’s degree. They love working one-on-one with their students. Our discounted rate per one hour session is $48.00. We also offer financial assistance for students based on family income. As the new school year begins, we welcome new students who could use our services. You can visit our website at eplearningplace.org to learn more about us, or find our application for services or financial assistance under forms. For questions send an inquiry to sueyowell@eplearningplace.org or call 970-5770020.

The documentary records the artist at his easel, and examines his methods. Sprick is concerned with truth and beauty. He conveys this via strikingly realistic handling of his depictions, demonstrating virtuoso technical skills and astounding hand-to-eye coordination. His style could be called photographic, except that he mostly eschews the use of photography. A more apt description might be hyperrealist. Sprick has not limited himself to one type of subject and is equally at home creating landscapes, still-lifes, figure studies and portraits. Though Sprick’s own point of view is featured in the film, so too are those of curators, art historians, collectors and other art experts who explicate Sprick’s oeuvre from a variety of perspectives. “Daniel Sprick: Pursuits of Truth and Beauty” adds to our understanding not only of Sprick, but of the persistent appeal of realism in contemporary art. After the viewing the artist will be available for questions and discussion. Please plan to join The Art Center of Estes Park for this unique event!

Watershed Coalition And Sunrise Rotary Team Up On Fish Creek

Sunrise Rotarians repairing elk fencing along Fish Creek.

Gary Miller, EVWC Board President, said: “Volunteers are extremely important to the work the Watershed Coalition does in the Estes Valley Watershed. These events enable EVWC to leverage the funds it receives to improve, restore, and maintain the watershed. We are able to accomplish more through the dedication of our volunteers. And the volunteers learn how they can directly help keep our watershed healthy.” The Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary generously provided funding to EVWC earlier this year to help EVWC repair the elk fencing on its projects along the Fish Creek corridor and to plant trees and grasses

Last Saturday fifteen volunteers gathered in the bright morning sunshine for a short lesson about fence repair and noxious weeds before beginning work along the banks of Fish Creek. The event was cosponsored by the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition and the Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary. Lindsay McFarland, EVWC Watershed Coordinator, provided the training and guided the volunteers during the event. “What an awesome volunteer event on Saturday!

My daughter Theresa, and Ed her husband recently moved back to Houston from Lafayette, LA. The move was met with excitement and bittersweet happiness. A new job with great potential is always exciting but leaving other places, memories and experiences always causes some sadness. In Louisiana they enjoyed both their home in Lafayette and a beautiful camp on Grand Isle, LA. They would take that three hour drive every weekend whenever possible to go out into the bay or gulf with the boat to fish or catch shrimp. I was privileged to go with them many times as was our family and their kids and friends....happy, happy memories. Leaving there required them to come to the decision to sell the camp and boats as well as their home as Houston was too far a journey to Grand Isle. The last time I was there the shrimp were “running” right off the beach. We went to the waters edge and Ed started casting his net. Theresa and I were the “go-fers.” We would go for the buckets, go to help get the shrimp out of the net, go get a band-aid when a shrimp stuck us with its tail, etc. The shrimp were so big and beautiful and so plentiful, you would not believe it. We came back to camp and shelled, cleaned, deveined, packaged and froze them the rest of the afternoon. Theresa sent me home with oodles of ready to cook shrimp, which I froze immediately. But do you know, I had to pay $25 extra

to bring that ice chest on board the plane! So, the other night I had Lorrie over to have Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo and saved enough shrimp to prepare another night of it to have Lea for dinner. It is nice to know just what to fix again when it was such a success the first time. This is for 6-8 servings.

Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo

1 lb. cleaned shrimp 1 pkg. (12-16 ounces) Fettuccini or if you prefer another form of pasta 1 ½ cup freshly and finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano 1 pint whipping cream ½ stick butter or more as needed Olive oil ½ cup chopped fresh parsley ½ cup finely cup 4-6 green onions Cook pasta in boiling water. Drain and toss with a Tbs. of olive oil. Keep warm over some of the pasta water or plain water. Melt butter in large skillet and cook shrimp until pink, turning once. Remove shrimp and add cream and cheese to skillet. Bring to a gentle boil, simmer about 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp. Place pasta in large serving bowl and toss with sauce. Sprinkle onions and parsley over and serve. The sauce will thicken with addition of pasta. My email: esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon Appétit.

WHAT’S YOUR ‘MIDDLE C’? Lloyd Douglas, author of a years-ago best seller, ‘The Robe’, tells about his college days. In those days his home was in a boarding house. A dear friend and mentor was a retired, wheelchairbound music professor living on the first floor. Each morning Douglas would tap on his door before sticking his head in and asking the same question, “Well, what’s the good news?” The old man would smile, pick up his tuning fork, tap it on his wheelchair and say, “That’s ‘middle C!’ It was ‘middle C’ yesterday; it will be ‘middle C’ tomorrow; it will be ‘middle C’ a thousand years from now. The tenor upstairs sings flat, the piano across the hall is out of tune, but, my friend, that is ‘middle C’.” How we all need a ‘middle C’ in our lives! National and world conditions are in constant flux. Weather changes result in drought conditions on one coast and flooding on the other. Relationships between nations change….especially this year it seems. Health conditions change. And we could add many other things to the list of those things that ‘change’: husbands change, wives change, children change. The list is endless. Many changes are good. I love the way Louis Armstrong sang it: “I see babies born, I watch them grow. They’ll know much more than I’ll ever know. What a wonderful world!” We are happy to see children change. We love to watch relationships grow and develop…when the change is positive and blessing. How pleasant to watch the seasons change, especially here in Estes Park. We’ve had a very good Spring and an active Summer season, with our four million ‘guests’, and soon we will launch into our upcoming, always very busy and enjoyable Fall, with Elk Fest, the Scottish festival and many other enjoyable activities. And, before we know it, in a couple of months, we will welcome a ‘time-change’, ‘falling back’ as we enter our always enjoyable Winter season. However, there are things that we really count on knowing not changing but always remaining the same. First of all, of course, is God. A songwriter pens: “Change and decay, in all around I see. O Thou, who changest not, abide with me.” God had His prophet Malachi tell people: “I am the Lord, I change not!” On another occasion He said, “I am the same yesterday, today, and forever.” This should give us constant comfort. God has made many ‘general’ promises to His people so it helps us to know that those promises can be claimed by us today just as they were in days past. Many inspired writers have reminded us that “God is faithful!” when it comes to keeping His promises. As a result this ‘middle C’ understanding of God can be very comforting. However, to some, it should also be intimidating…even fear-producing. When we look at His dealings with people in the past, people who wreaked havoc on others, we count on His ‘changing-not’ justice and inevitable punishment delivered to such. He has promised: “I will repay!” Hebrews says, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.” Peter warns: “God is not slack concerning His promises, as some men count slackness!” God faithfully delivers on His promises…of blessing and / or punishment. I truly hope that we can each say confidently, every day, like the music teacher of old, that we have our ‘Middle C’ and that because we obey Him we will never be fearful or anxious because He ever stands ready to bless, strengthen and support His own. Bob

Climate Ride Is Coming To Estes Park

By: Gordon MacAlpine This coming week, as many as 40 hearty souls will ride bicycles 250 miles across Colorado to call attention to climate change and to benefit charities through sponsorships. "Climate Ride" is a registered nonprofit organization, which has raised millions of dollars in support of climate awareness, sustainability, and active (humanpowered) transportation. See www.climateride.org/about-us. A new "Climate Ride Colorado" event will take place during August 25-30, climateride.org/events/colorado. Riders will start near the western slope town of Hayden, proceeding over Gore Pass and Trail Ridge, before spending the night of Aug. 29 at the YMCA in Estes Park and then heading to their final destination in Boulder. I had registered to take part in this event, but was advised by a doctor to withdraw because of my age. The riders will face challenging ascents at high altitude, in smoky air as they pass near one or two wildfire sites. If you see people on bicycles wearing official Climate Ride jerseys, please give them encouragement. Climate change due to global warming is becoming progressively more pronounced across the planet and here in Colorado. On July 27, our Town Administrator published an article advocating that we should prepare for wildfire, which "is a natural process in the Rockies." Indeed, most forest fires can be attributed to natural causes, like lightening. However, Colorado is experiencing a new, enhanced type of natural. The

This summer has been excessively hot and dry in the western states, with more than 100 active wildfires at times. Satellite imagery shows that smoke has reached most of the country. On a particularly smoky day here in Estes Park, there were at least 12 active fires in Colorado. Some people have suggested that "La Nina" ocean patterns may be partially responsible, but recent La Nina events were not as strong as in past years, and existing anecdotal evidence suggests they would be affecting primarily the southeastern states. On other hand, there is a general recognition that the Arctic is warming much faster than lower latitudes, and this has altered the atmospheric jet stream over the western states, leading to severe or extreme drought conditions. There will be better years and worse years, but overall the progression will be toward the latter. The most important thing we can do is to stop burning fossil fuels. There is already enough CO2 in the atmosphere to take us back to Pliocene conditions (roughly 3-5 million years ago), when “megalodons” died off and many surviving animals lived above the Arctic Circle or on Antarctica. We cannot stop global warming, but maybe we can lessen the effects of some devastating tipping points. Please join the climate riders in working for a better future.

Hunger Walk Sunday, September 16th

The Estes Park Walk for the Hungry will be Sunday, September 16 and start at 1:00 p.m., going around Lake Estes. We will gather on the south side of the Estes Park Visitor Center. Walker sponsor sheets may be picked up at the following churches: First United Methodist of Estes Park, St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran

Church, from Don Holmes at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church or from Peter Vanderveen, walk coordinator at 970-5860578. The walk is sponsored by Church World Service’s CROP Walks, a venture to address world hunger needs. Church World Service programs provide a hand up, not just a hand out. We hope you will consider taking part in the Walk for the Hungry and strike a blow for those in need, locally and around the world. If you can’t walk, perhaps you will consider sponsoring a walker.

Tommy Caldwell’s StoryThe Dawn Wall In Theaters September 19th A decade in the making, The Dawn Wall is finally here. This new feature documentary is coming to 500 screens nationwide on September 19th. This is your chance to see the most ambitious film yet on the big screen. In 2015, American rock climbers Estes Park local, Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson captivated the world with their effort to climb The Dawn Wall, a seemingly impossible 3,000 foot rock face in Yosemite National Park, California. The pair lived on the sheer vertical cliff for weeks, igniting a frenzy of global media attention. But for Tommy Caldwell, The Dawn Wall was much more than just a climb. It was the culmination of a lifetime defined by overcoming obstacles. At the age of 22, the climbing prodigy was taken hostage by rebels in Kyrgyzstan. Shortly after, he lost his index finger in an accident, but resolved to come back stronger. He escaped the pain by fixating on the extraordinary goal of free climbing The Dawn Wall. Blurring the line between dedication and obsession, Caldwell and his partner Jorgeson spend six years meticulously plotting and practicing their route. On

the final attempt, with the world watching, Caldwell is faced with a moment of truth. Should he abandon his partner to fulfill his ultimate dream, or risk his own success for the sake of their friendship? "A riveting and spectacular documentary... A must-see experience." -Variety "Not only was The Dawn Wall the best climbing film that I've seen, it was one of the best films that I've seen." -Andrew Bisharat, Evening Sends The Dawn Wall will be showing at these cinemas: Cinemark Fort Collins 4721 S. Timberline Road, Ft. Collins, CO 80525 Crossroads Mall 1700 29th Street, Boulder, CO 80301 AMC Orchards 12 14653 Orchard Parkway, Westminster, CO 80023 The Dawn Wall will also be coming to theaters internationally this September.

Autumn Gold Festival Features Beer, Brats And Bands September is a beautiful time to make your way to the mountains for the Sunrise Rotary annual Autumn Gold Festival, held this year on September 22nd and 23rd in Bond Park. This event, now in its 25th year, is a fall favorite, and has been recognized as one of Colorado’s top fifteen fall festivals by The Denver Post. Festival attendees may enjoy a mustardsmothered bratwurst and a cold brew or local Snowy Peaks Winery pour while listening to talented local musicians, award-winning Front Range bands, as well as nationally-recognized acts. This year’s festival opens with Brad Fitch and the Tropicowboy Band, playing on Saturday, September 22 from 11:00-1:00. Brad was raised in Estes Park and has been playing professionally since he was 15 years old. While he is a local favorite, Brad has also performed nationally at western music festivals ranging coast to coast, at Red Rocks in Morrison, and has also performed John Denver tribute concerts in numerous places, setting record attendance at their venues. Following Brad Fitch and the Tropicowboy Band is the Wendy Woo Band, playing 1:30-4:00. A Colorado music scene mainstay, Wendy has performed at top venues across the country including the Fox Theater and Red Rocks here in Colorado, the Bitter End and the Living Room in New York, the Hotel Café in

Los Angeles, the Bluebird Café in Nashville, Sweetwater in Mill Valley and Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, Georgia. She has shared the stage with artists including The Fray, Sarah McLachlan, Indigo Girls, James Taylor, Counting Crows, Brad Paisley and Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Wendy has been named Westword Magazine’s Music Awards “Singer/Songwriter of the year” five separate times, resulting in her induction into Westword’s Hall of Fame. Closing out Saturday’s lineup is Estes Park local favorite, Rock Country Revival (RCR), playing from 4:30-6:30. RCR is a musical collaborative with over 40 years of combined musicianship. The band members have a shared love of classic rock and country musical genres. Band members include Zach Vogel, Don Benton, Kaelynn Morgan and Gary Hall, all Estes Park locals, as well as Jimmy and Jake Nichols, now residing in Nashville, Tennessee, where 12-yearold Jake has been sharing the stage with multiple Nashville recording artists. RCR brings a blend of music covering artists from Merle Haggard to Lynrd Skynyrd. On Sunday, Autumn Gold welcomes Last Men On Earth, one of Northern Colorado’s most popular live bands, from 11:30-2:00. Playing a mixture of classics cuts from the 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond, this group is ‘A Tribute to

Everything’. Last Men on Earth features members from other successful local bands such as Open Fire, The Moorheads, Fat Pappy, and The Long Run, Colorado’s Tribute to the Eagles, and plays a variety of music that includes Queen, Journey, Jimmy Buffett, Nickelback, Aerosmith and Cheap Trick. Selling out venues across the front range, Autumn Gold is pleased to add Last Men on Earth to the lineup this year! Our popular Sunday festival finale includes The Long Run, Colorado’s Tribute to the Eagles, on stage from 2:30-5:00. A group of professional Coloradobased musicians dedicated to the faithful reproduction of the music of America’s most iconic band, The Long Run sells out venues throughout the Front Range, Colorado, and across the nation. Plan to join us in Estes Park for Autumn Gold, September 22 and 23 in downtown Bond Park. In addition to beer, wine, brats and bands, vendors of-

fer roasted corn on the cob, funnel cakes, fresh squeezed lemonade, roasted almonds and dessert. This is a familyfriendly event, with free admission and activities include face painting, soap bubbles, corn bag toss, a bounce course, and a classic car show.

Alpaca Market September 1 & 2 In Estes Park Plan on attending the 19th Annual Estes Park Alpaca Market on September 1st and 2nd at the Estes Park Events Complex. This will be a great opportunity to see alpacas up close and personal and to shop a wide variety of alpaca products. The event is free to the public and there is plenty of parking available at the Event Complex or you can catch the shuttle from the Visitor Center in downtown Estes Park. Alpacas are member of the camelid family, closely related to llamas and camels. Alpacas have been domesticated for over 5,000 years and are one of the oldest domesticated livestock species in the world. They were first imported as livestock into the United states in 1983. There are now approximately 400,000 alpacas in the country, with well over 200 ranches in the state of Colorado alone. Alpacas are an environmentally friendly livestock, much easier on pasture than other animals and are also much more efficient. Alpacas are shorn once a year to harvest their incredibly soft fiber, normally in late April through mid June here in Colorado. Alpacas will live an estimated 20 years, with some living as old as 28 years. The males are larger than the females, on average. Gestation length for the female alpaca is approximately 342 days and the females are induced ovulators. Twins are extremely rare, as the moms do not have enough milk to support twins. An alpaca will shear, on average, five to seven pounds of fiber each year. An adult alpaca weighs on average 150 pounds and stands three feet high at the backline. They eat 2% of the

body weight a day, or about three pounds of hay. Alpacas come in 22 natural colors, their fiber is more durable and more insulating than sheep’s wool and is as fine as cashmere. The fiber can be processed into any number of high end garments, from scarfs, hats, shawls, blankets, gloves and socks. Even the coarser fiber on the legs and belly of the alpaca is usable for rugs, shoe insoles or felt. There will be a number of ranches at the event with their alpacas, more than willing to answer all your questions about raising these wonderful animals. Several of the ranches will allow you to take a “selfie” with an alpaca to make your weekend more memorable. All these ranches have been raising alpacas for more than ten years, and the depth of experience means they have seen almost everything. There will be demonstrations (spinning, felting, weaving, etc.) during the event to show you how to use this exquisite fiber. There will also be a large number of vendors at the event selling every imaginable alpaca product from raw fleeces to roving to yarns to a large variety of hand crafted and commercial finished products. Some of our vendors are true artisans making one of a kind garments that you will not find anywhere else. There will be drawings throughout both days for door prizes (must be present to win) so plan on stopping by and register at the welcome desk. The Alpaca Market will be open on Saturday, Sept.1st from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and on Sunday, Sept. 2nd from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Larry or Becky Zierer at lzbalpacas@aol.com or at (303) 475-4793. The address for the market is Estes Park Events Complex, 1125 Rooftop Way, Estes Park.

“Our Town. Unfiltered” To Premiere New Episode

Claire Mollé

EPTV Channel 8 will be releasing the third episode in their new series, “Our Town. Unfiltered.” On Aug. 24, 2018 at 7 p.m. The episode features several of Estes Park’s local artists while highlighting the culture of local art. This production succeeds two episodes, the first about the local J1 students and the second examining American Legion Post 119. The show is produced by Claire Mollé and Séan Doherty in conjunction with Nick Mollé Productions. Producer and host, Claire Mollé, has set out to tell real stories about life and culture in Estes Park. Her goal is to bridge gaps in the community by increasing our understanding of one another.

Mollé believes art is a magnifying glass into the heart of a community. Growing up in Estes Park, she began to notice a vast number of artists who seemed to have a particular attraction to Estes Park, and she wanted to find out why. This episode explores not only what Estes means to artists, but what artists mean to Estes, while initiating discussions about the types of art that we most often find in Estes Park, and why. The episode’s premiere can be watched live on TDS Telecom EPTV Channel 8/108, and YouTube live stream. It will continue to play regularly on-air after the premiere and will also be available on-demand on the “Rocky Mountain Channel” on Roku and YouTube.

Beth Gadbaw And Glow World Music Trio To Perform At The Old Gallery In Allenspark

Sandra Wong

Irish Music Magazine called her “exceptional.” The Redstone Review called her “a Celtic angel.” And you can hear folksinger Beth Gadbaw and the GLOW World Music Trio on Thursday, August 30 at The Old Gallery in Allenspark. The group features Beth Gadbaw on vocals and bodhrán drum, Sandra Wong on nyckelharpa and fiddle and Sean McGowan on guitar. Spirited and skilled, the trio’s energetic stage Sean McGowan presence and diverse musical background expresses the common humanity of the variety of cultures upon which their music draws. Sean McGowan is a fingerstyle jazz guitarist who combines many diverse musical influences with unconventional techniques. His first recording River Coffee won the Best Independent Release of the Year Award from Acoustic Guitar magazine, and music from the recording has been published by Mel Bay, and in Japan’s Acoustic Guitar magazine. Sandra Wong is one of the U. S.’s foremost nyckelharpa players and a virtuosic, versatile violinist and fiddler. On the ancient Swedish bowed instrument and on violin, she has performed throughout the U. S. and in Scandinavia with a myriad of artists including French Canada’s Genticorum, local trio Kaleidescope, Marrakech Express and From The Fjords to the Andes. Beth Gadbaw’s voice has been described by Sing Out! Magazine as “an instrument in its own right.” She is a Fulbright award-winning performer, teacher, and composer who was recently commissioned to set works by Wales’s first Poet Laureate for choral voices. Her

singing in English and Gaelic has been featured on Ireland’s national radio network, RTÉ. “We are thrilled to have these accomplished musicians provide us with an evening of Celtic and World music,” said The Old Gallery Operations Committee Chair Vicki Dyas. The Old Gallery is a nonprofit center for community and the arts located just 20 minutes south of Estes Park. The show takes place from 7-9:30 p.m. and admission is $15 per person. Tickets are available at The Old Gallery and at brownpapertickets.com.

Beth Gadbaw

acoustics are superb. We’re thrilled that Beth, Sandra and Sean will be performing at The Old Gallery.” The Old Gallery provides community activities and classes, a Community Cupboard Food Bank, Songwriters in the Round, health and wellness activities and more.

Workforce Housing FAQ’s From The Estes Park EDC

The Estes Park EDC, along with its partners and stakeholders, has been working with the Town of Estes Park and the Estes Valley community on Workforce Housing challenges for the last eighteen months. A lot has happened in that time and we’d like to answer some of the questions that we’ve been asked by members of our community. But first, we’d like to share some quotes from several of our local employers. “It is important to us when it comes to the retention and recruitment of teachers. Most times, we have people apply for a job but then we offer them the job and they come and try to find housing and then have to turn us down because of housing. That is very common, probably about eighty percent of the time, that happens.” Sheldon Rosenkrance – Estes Park School District Superintendent. “Not only do employees struggle but the police department has struggled for a long time. We struggle with competing with agencies along the Front Range, training, hiring and being aggressive in our recruitment strategies and then retaining those folks. The linch pin that always catches us is affordable housing ” Wes Kufeld – Estes Park Police Department Police

Chief “About six years ago, we were getting forty, fifty or sixty people applying for one opening at the library and in the last three to four years we’ve been getting three to five applicants per position.” Claudine Perrault – Estes Valley Library Director “This impacts our organization and comes back to the recruitment and retention of our volunteers and our ability to perform those services with those volunteers. Certainly volunteers that don’t live in district aren’t able to respond in a timely fashion and we rely on them also to come up and do shifts. A big thing is also the age range we’re targeting for volunteers. As you might imagine, for structural and wildland firefighting, we’re trying to target people in their twenties and thirties and a lot of people in that age bracket are having a hard time finding housing in Estes Park. So we get them, we train them and then they leave for a place that’s a lower cost of living.” David Wolf – Estes Valley Fire Protection District Fire Chief Q: What is “Workforce Housing?” A: Workforce housing is designed for active growing families with schoolaged children and working adults that live full time in Estes Park. Our Estes Valley Development Code defines workforce housing as “A housing unit in

which at least one household member is employed within the Estes Park School District R-3 Boundaries.” The term workforce housing typically sparks images of firefighters, teachers, law enforcement professionals, medical personnel, service industry workers and others who are overqualified for affordable housing yet can’t afford the average market-rate home. Regulations will require at least one household member be employed full-time within school district boundaries. Q: Why does Estes Park need workforce housing? A: Completed in January of 2016, the Estes Park Housing Needs Assessment Report, demonstrated a large potential market, especially for rental units. The report concluded that between 1,480 and 1,690 housing units are needed to address current housing shortages including workforce housing needs. Based on the empirical data and facts of that study, we know that: • Employers identified a lack of housing as the most difficult issue for recruiting and retaining employees. • 1,480 to 1,690 housing units are needed to address housing shortages and keep up with future demand. This averages to about 300 to 340 units per year. • 90 percent felt that the inability of employees working in the Estes area to find housing they can afford to be a serious or critical problem. • Approximately 1,150 workforce households live in housing that is not affordable based on their incomes. • Just over 530 workforce households live in overcrowded homes. • About 630 employees who are forced to commute would move into the Estes Park area to be closer to work if they could find suitable housing. • In November 2015, there were nearly 700 unfilled jobs in the Estes Park area, representing about 13 percent of all jobs, and about 1,000 unfilled jobs in the summer of 2015. • Approximately 930 workforce households (21%) reside in housing that is in fair or poor condition. This is up from 4% in 2007. • About 700 renters were forced to move or were evicted in the past 5 years due to changing circumstances with their rented home. Rentals being converted to short term rentals and land owners moving into their previously rented homes are the most commonly cited reasons. Q: Isn’t our greatest need for homeownership households with incomes above 60% AMI, not rentals? A: Studies show the need for both, but the rental need is larger. As a community, the greatest need would serve households between 80% and 150% AMI (Area Median Income) based on family size and income, and more apartment rental units are needed than single fam-

epnews.com

ily homes. The Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA) continues to serve mostly households with lower incomes (30%-60%) and can access state and federal programs that serve those needs. The Housing Authority also recognizes the need for workforce housing with AMI limits greater than 60%. With this in mind they are moving in a direction to support this area of need as well. For example, EPHA purchased a property in February 2016 off Highway 7, with the intent of creating 26 units to support the workforce housing need. Q: What is “Attainable Housing?” A: Our Estes Valley Development Code defines attainable housing units as “Housing units that are attainable to households earning less than one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Larimer County Area Median Income or below, adjusted for household size.” Attainable to a particular household is defined as a monthly housing payment that is equal to or no more than 30% of a household’s gross income. Estes Park currently has two developments that incorporate affordable housing at income levels below 60% of AMI along with attainable housing at higher income levels. Attainable housing in the Estes Valley does not require full time employment for leasing or purchase. The Neighborhood with single family homes and Vista Ridge, a multi-family town-home style development. Each location has a portion that is affordable and the other is market rate. The attainable units are deed restricted to maintain continued attainability. Vista Ridge was developed by EPHA. Q: How do you qualify for workforce housing? A: In order to be eligible to sign a long term, twelve month lease, the applicant must be able to verify employment within the Estes Valley. The Estes Valley Development Code states “Housing units shall be eligible for the Maximum Permitted Density Bonus (Sec. 11.4. D) if at least one (1) resident in each housing unit annually submits an affidavit, including a copy of a W-2 form, to the Town certifying that the resident is employed within the Estes Park School District R-3 Boundary Map.” Q: What if someone becomes unemployed or retires, will they be able to renew their lease? A: Most long-term lease contracts are up for renewal every 12 months. Upon renewal, the applicant must be able to verify employment within the Estes Valley. The leases for such units will specify policies governing when a retiree or household without a worker is required to vacate their lease.

We Listened: Streamlined Program Guide Is Coming Soon Eighteen months ago, I re-joined the library team to serve in a role I relish. As Communications Specialist, I work with the staff to publicize the tremendous array of services and programs that happen at the library, and in turn to listen to your feedback on those services. In any given week, there is never a shortage of information to share. Instead, the real challenge is: How do we deliver information about library resources and events in ways that are most convenient and useful for you? Last year’s Patron Satisfaction Survey, completed by nearly 800 residents, provided valuable insights into that question. You told us, for instance, that you especially prefer receiving library news through email. We listened, and we’re expanding email delivery shortly. You told us that information in the newspaper and on our website is very helpful. We listened, and we’ll continue to keep you up-to-date through these avenues. You told us that while our Program & Services Guide (printed each spring, summer and fall) was valuable, it would be more useful in a simpler format. We listened, and we’re happy to announce a new streamlined Guide debuting in September. Our Program & Services Guide has been re-imagined in a way that will make it much easier to browse and identify programs of most interest to you. It’s designed to save you time through its convenient bird’s-eye-view of three months worth of library happenings. In

each issue, the Table of Contents will be focused into several key areas, including: Books & Authors; Children & Family; Citizenship; Current Affairs; Makerspace; Tech; and Workshops. We strive to be thoughtful, resourceful and responsible in how we allocate our marketing budget, focusing our energies in ways that are beneficial to you. That means two other changes with this new format. One—by streamlining our content into these core areas, we can print fewer pages. This allows a transition from newsprint toward a concise stapled booklet, while remaining within our existing budget. Two—based on your feedback, we’re shifting away from a mass mailing, and instead we’ll make the new Program & Services Guide available for pick-up at the library and at sites around town and around the valley. This yields a major cost savings, while still keeping the guide readily available, maximizing resources and minimizing waste. The Program & Services Guide, designed to help connect you with the vital information of what’s happening each season at the library, is funded through the generosity of the Library Friends & Foundation. Look for the all-new issue in its allnew format to be available for pick-up at the library, and at locations around town, beginning the first week of September. We welcome your feedback as we continue to align your information needs with convenient formats that serve you best.

Baldpate Inn Program On “Capturing A Place And Time In Historical Fiction” The Baldpate Inn is honored to announce a fascinating Summer Enchanted Evening on Wednesday, August 29th at 7 p.m. in the Baldpate Key Room for our talk: Capturing a Place and Time in Historical Fiction. Let’s spend an Enchanted Summer Evening discovering some of the tricks and techniques behind constructing a story of historical fiction. What makes historical fiction authentic, winsome, and believable? We’ll discuss some of the audience’s favorite works of historical fiction and what makes them effective. Mary Beth Lagerborg, a personal historian and author of historical fiction set in Grand

Lake, will discuss how an author researches and constructs such a work. Mary Beth Lagerborg has loved inter-

viewing people and writing their stories since her first job on Colorado Country Life magazine, traveling the Colorado back roads to interview the oldest flying farmer or the local rodeo queen. She is the author of nine non-fiction books, blogs, video curricula, magazine articles, and the novel Turquoise Summer.

Currently she works as a personal historian, writing and custom-publishing clients’ memoirs, family stories, house histories, or family business stories. www.Retelling.net. 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 970-586-5397 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!

Cultural Arts Council Presents Beverly Sencenbaugh And Friends The Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park presents Beverly Sencenbaugh and Friends, Thursday, August 30, at 7:00 p.m. in Performance Park. There is no cost for admission, but freewill donations will be accepted to help fund programs of the Cultural Arts Council. I started out in bluegrass in the early 1970s in a bluegrass band called Dr. Jackpots Muleskinner Band. We were a banjo, 12 string guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and wash tub bass. We had some damn good times. We were in college at CU Boulder and eventually people graduated and we grew smaller. We did play many gigs in Estes including the Stanley and The Gaslight Pub. I started out solo when my guitar player got a real job. A few of us got together to record an album in 1985. I learned that you shouldn't release an LP six months before CDs sweep the industry. Since the mid 1990s I've played for fundraisers and LGBT conferences and at the high school where I work as sub-

stitute teacher. For the last three summers I've been lucky enough to be involved with the Friends of Folk. I did work with Dick Orleans in the early 1980s. Rex Hedlund and Rob Leavitt will accompany me on several original bluegrass songs as well as several original folk songs. Rob will be on bass and guitar. Rex will play guitar, or mandolin. Rob will also sing the lead on "Long Black Vail" and "Jambalaya" in case the audience gets tired of my songs. I'll start off with some songs from my first (and only) album we'll then segue to my newer songs like "The Least Of Us" and "She's A Wrangler." The former is a bluegrass and the latter is a cowgirl western song. About 1/2 the concert is with the three of us; and 1/2 just me solo on guitar. The shows are sponsored by the CAC and Coldwell Banker Estes Village Properties. Bring along folding chairs, blankets and umbrellas and be prepared for a wonderful night under the open sky.

Wishful Thinking Dear Editor, November is creeping up on us and with it the mid-term elections. I have been thinking – perhaps wishful – but persistent. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all forget what political party we belong to, what side we’ve been on, or what our family and/or spouses think. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could just begin anew: clear minds, clean hearts. Then maybe we could dig down into our deepest Faith traditions. There at their deepest, all of them call for justice, compassion, love. Then, maybe, just maybe, we would hear murmurs about health care for all, care for the planet and its future, living wages for those who work hard, afford-

able housing. Maybe, just maybe, we would hear intimations about care for the disabled, disadvantaged, marginalized and forgotten. Maybe we would even hear invitations to the Common Good and General Welfare. If I remember correctly, somewhere in my American History classes of long ago, those words were mentioned time and time again. They still sound good to me. Maybe they could have something to do with the ballot box. Well, as I said, it may be wishful thinking, but I do wish it with all my heart. Sincerely, Louise Olson Estes Park

Tickets to Songwriters in the Round are $15 each and available at The Old Gallery and brownpapertickets.com. You must be 16 years or older to attend. There will be a cash bar. The Old Gallery is a not for profit that provides a twice-monthly food bank distribution, health and wellness classes, entertainment, the Rocky Mountain 101 Speaker Series, classes in art, yoga, improv theatre and memoir writing and more. Sixteen local artists also display and sell their artwork there. To view a complete list of all events, visit www.theoldgallery.org. If you plan to attend the event, please consider carpooling. Do not park in front of The Old Gallery or the Allenspark Fire Station, but in the parking lot located next to the Boulder County Transfer Station next to the fire station.

Colin Robison

Colin Robison is a singer/songwriter, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist and accompanist who’s made guest appearances on numerous albums, and released three of his own in his 25 years as a performing musician. Pamela Machala performed at Songwriters in the Round in May and is thrilled to be returning to The Old Gallery. “It is such a joy to be able to perform on a Steinway, and to such an attentive audience, ” she said. American Songwriter Magazine recently awarded Machala an Honorable Mention in their July/August 2018 Lyric Contest for her original song "Cardboard Cutout." “This is a superb line up of regional singer songwriters and it promises to be a very special evening,” said Pamela Machala Weaver.

Mark J. Repine Mark J. Repine, 58, of Estes Park, CO went to be with the Lord on August 14, 2018. He was the son of M. Hale and Clara Repine of Plum Borough, PA. He graduated Plum High School in 1978. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 37 years, Rachelle Righino Repine, his daughter, Andrea Repine Van Cleve, her husband, Michael Van Cleve, of Tacoma WA, his son Garrett Repine of Longmont, CO, his son and business partner Chandler Repine of Estes Park, and a large extended family that will deeply feel this loss. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Mark spent his whole life in the construction industry, specializing in the installation of waterslides. He had travelled the country, building waterslides in many parks and bringing joy to millions. It was while installing waterslides at Crystal Rapids in Loveland that he discovered Estes Park, eventually moving

there in 2003. A member of Mountain View Bible Fellowship, he was a strong supporter of Samaritan's Purse, Operation Christmas Child. He loved that it brought joy into the lives of children around the world as well as the good news of Jesus Christ. He was a strong guiding presence within his family and will truly be missed. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to: Samaritan's Purse, Operation Christmas Child. PO Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607. Mark’s funeral was held at Bacha Funeral Home, 516 Stanton Street, Greensburg, PA. Visitation was held on August 21 and the funeral service took place August 22 at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Gordon Shinkle officiating, followed by interment at Westmoreland County Memorial Park.

Entrepreneurial Ecologists By: Judi Smith

An entrepreneurial ecologist is someone who sees a way to protect the Earth by inventing something new, or making some ecological process “friendlier” or simply filling an ecological need that went unnoticed or unaddressed and, hopefully, finds a way to make it profitable enough to warrant continuation. We have already addressed several entrepreneurial endeavors to save the planet, among them the anaerobic digesters at Disney World that produce electricity from biogas for the parks and surrounding areas. The Bottle Box (made from recycled #1 plastic) is used by the deli in our local Safeway. Vacuum cleaners can now collect plastic trash from the world’s oceans. The latest, called SeaBin, is solar powered. Tesla has developed not only electric cars, but also a solar roof that looks quite classy with no visible solar equipment. Space X has successfully launched, collected, and relaunched a reusable rocket. And some of you may remember the article on the Ooho edible water bottle. At the newly originated Lego League Global Innovation Award competition, students are getting in on the act. The winning team of 8th graders from Ohio invented the Styro-Filter (patent now pending). Another group of students, from Florida, created insulation from shredded chip bags. And the (Texas) Cyber Tiger team created six-pack rings that dissolve in the ocean. These are only the winners. More importantly, we are raising kids to care about the Earth. We have examples right here in the Estes Valley. Bestway Painting, as a sideline, collects old paint, and we now have

two companies that collect used metal objects for disposal to metal recyclers in the valley below. The payment for the metal provides income for continuance. Other local businesses accept or supply many, many products, keeping them out of the landfill. For a full list, just access www.recycleestes.org or Google “Estes Planet Partners.” Because society is becoming extremely aware, the possibilities of entrepreneurship in ecological fields are immense. The real awakening is in the realization that such opportunities exist in any field. When you consider this phenomenon, the possibilities are endless. How about green business consultant, green app, blog, website or software developer, green publisher, sustainable podcaster, or creating an environmental YouTube channel? Consider, as people become more and more aware, the demand that is even now developing for green bed and breakfast establishments, green housekeepers, sustainable landscapers and sustainable event planners. We have a great need for a composting business (here) as no other avenues are available for that vital aspect of the recycling circle. The question becomes, how much will this lack effect our local venues? I was contacted just last week by someone who wanted guidance, as a frequent guest in Estes, on sustainability for a picnic (for 300 attendees). With no available composting, compostable tableware is useless. All I could suggest was the rental or purchase of inexpensive plastic plates (which require washing). But our visitors come from far away. Anyone with viable solutions, please let me know. RRRcyc2se@gmail.com

Kelly Marie Stephan Kelly Marie Stephan, age 50, of Centennial, CO passed away Monday, August 13, 2018. Kelly was loving, witty, beautiful, and fun-loving to her core. Known to her family as Kella / Kella Bella / Kelly Girl /Aunt Kel and Mom, Kelly was born in Chicago, Il on April 19, 1968. She moved to Estes Park with her family in 1970 and grew up in the Estes Valley where she stayed until shortly after graduating Estes Park High School, a true Bobcat forever.

This blossomed into a fulfilling life long career, culminating when Kelly started her own agency under the Farmer’s Insurance Company. While successful in business, Kelly’s greatest achievement was raising her son Alec. She was a lover of music (especially live), the stage, her family, friends and shoes! Kelly’s big heart and genuine laugh was infectious, enriching the people around her. Kella was a bright light in this world. She is loved and will be missed by many.
