Water treatment plant opens $50 million facility will host community this fall
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Roughly 10 percent of Parker’s water is now going through a state-of-the-art treatment plant near Rueter-Hess Reservoir. After a few initial hiccups, including the failure of a pump and issues with the feeding of chemicals used to rid the water of impurities, the $50.7 million treatment plant opened
in mid-July following three weeks of testing. Soon after, a handful of Parker Water and Sanitation District officials took their first drink of water processed through the sophisticated system of pumps, pipes and filters. “We wanted to make sure everything was solid before we sent it out through the system,” said Ron Redd, district manager for Parker Water. “It tasted good!” Construction began in 2012 on the treatment plant, which has been billed as an integral part of shifting from a reliance on
SECURITY Parker Water and Sanitation District has an alarm system and fencing topped by concertina wire, but recently issued a request for proposal for a security consultant to guide the implementation of protective measures at both the water treatment plant and Rueter-Hess Reservoir. One system the district is considering uses monitors that can
distinguish between humans and animals. “We know we have recreation coming in the future, so we want to protect the core facilities because we’ll have more people out there,” said Ron Redd, district manager for Parker Water, who noted that the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office already conducts nightly patrols at the reservoir and treatment plant.

E-cigarette use by kids targeted A proposed ordinance would make possession of emerging products illegal for minors
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The growing popularity of electronic cigarettes and nicotine-delivering vaporizers has sparked a call to clamp down on their use and possession by minors in Douglas County. A proposed ordinance would expand the definition of banned tobacco products for those under 18 to include emerging alternate means of ingesting nicotine. The existing ordinance prohibiting possession and use of tobacco products by minors passed in 2001. E-cigarettes were introduced to the U.S. market in 2007. A first reading of the ordinance took place Aug. 11 at the Board of County Commissioners’ business meeting, where it passed u n a n i mously.

Another concern, Bronner said, is that some parents believe e-cigarettes and vaporizers are not as dangerous to youths as tobacco cigarettes. That’s not the case, she said.

Trucks pack firefighting punch Centennial Airport helps secure new vehicles for South Metro Fire, boosting plane-crash response By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Firefighters now have more capability to respond to downed aircraft on and near Centennial Airport. The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority revealed the latest weapons in its arsenal during a ceremony Aug. 13 at Centennial Airport, the second-busiest general aviation hub in the country. The Stryker T-2500 and Stinger Q4 received a ceremonial “wet down” with a fire hose, a tradition to commission new equipment that dates back to the 19th century. The Stryker T-2500, also known as Red 1, adds capacity for water, equipment and personnel responding to a crashed aircraft. The Stinger Q4, or Red 2, is an allwheel-drive vehicle with maneuverability and the capability for a quick response. It can carry 400 gallons of water and quickly suppress a fire. It joins Red 3, a militarystyle Unimog that was one of few vehicles at South Metro’s disposal for aircraft disaster response. It was kept at station 44 Fire truck continues on Page 9

HELLO
... My Name Is
teacher work, then go to bed. If I’m lucky, I can fit in watching one of my favorite TV shows or an Avalanche game.
A glimpse of the people in our community
PATRICIA HAYES
Devoted teacher, coach and photographer
About me I grew up in Livermore, California. I have two brothers. One brother bought and lives in the family home in Livermore. My other brother lives in Vancouver, Washington, along with my parents. Most of my extended family lives in the state of Washington. Twenty-five years ago, I ended up in Colorado because my husband got a job here as a flooring contractor. I always thought about moving to Colorado ever since I played a competitive soccer tournament here as a kid. This beautiful state left a lasting impression on me.
A day in the life A typical weekday includes driving 12 minutes to Ponderosa High School with my 15-year-old son, Justin, and his best friend, Ryan, in the morning. Next, I prepare for the classes I teach. I teach all levels of photography, graphic design and yearbook. My afternoons are filled with various after-school activities. I come home and make dinner, fit in some more
Kid-inspired career switch I took an interest in art from an early age. My teachers in school saw my talent and always encouraged my creativity. I continued with art in college. I worked as a graphic designer for a while. When we moved to Colorado, I decided I wanted to have time to be able to coach soccer and do scouting with my children, so I changed careers to teaching and coaching competitive soccer. Just for fun I love to play, coach and watch soccer. I also love to camp and hike all over the Rockies. I take lots of photos wherever I go. I had a busy summer. My son and I, along with my husband, James, helped my mother-in-law renovate her condo in Silverdale, Washington. That took four weeks out of our summer. I did get to have some fun the rest of my summer. I spent four days with my yearbook students at journalism camp at CU Boulder in July. A couple weeks ago, we had a really fun annual block party with live music, games and great food. This past weekend we spent the day at a family cabin near Kenosha Pass. This week it’s back to work. I’m excited to get this school year started. By Chris Michlewicz. If you have a suggestion for My Name Is…, please contact him at cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com.
Douglas County residents asked to be bear aware Animals seeking food to bulk up before winter Staff report Bear sightings have recently been reported in Larkspur, Castle Pines and Roxborough Village, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. In one case, a bear entered a home and caused damage to the inside of the house. Colorado Parks and Wildlife said this time of year is when bears begin seeking food for their long winter nap. People should be aware that they are more likely to see bears between now and October. A large portion of Douglas County is a rural environment and is inhabited by bears, the sheriff’s office said. Bears can smell odors up to five miles away, so containing odors is recommended. Here are some tips from the sheriff’s office to help keep bears from entering your property: • Do not feed bears or leave food out for them. • Do not leave trash outside overnight unless it is in a bear-proof container. • Keep your garage door closed.
This photo was taken in 2012 from a homeowner’s backyard in Highlands Ranch. Courtesy photo • Do not leave food in your car. • Keep all lower-level windows and doors tightly shut. For more information on bears in Colorado or for more safety tips, visit the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website, http://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/LivingwithWildlifeBears1.aspx.
Tavern to raise money for WWII vet Staff report The Takoda Tavern has organized a fundraiser to support 90-year-old World War II veteran Jack Frank, who has outlived his savings. The fundraiser is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 29 at the Takoda Tavern, 12311 Pine Bluffs Way, Parker. A Marine honor guard will perform and car collectors will display their vehicles.
Several other military supporters also have agreed to be there. The news that people were suddenly rallying around a man they’d never met was uplifting to Frank. “All my friends, they started all of this for me,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it in the beginning. Now it’s starting to soak in.”

The man who saw both sides
DA-turned-defense attorney talks about exciting career in the courtroom
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Jolly Roger was once again flying at full staff on Pikes Peak Drive earlier this month. Morley Swingle’s victory celebration was borrowed from one of his heroes, the eccentric San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli. Except, as Swingle points out, Belli also would fire off a cannon. “Parker has a noise ordinance, so I didn’t get a cannon, but I have got the Jolly Roger, and every time I get a not-guilty verdict or the case gets dismissed, I fly it for 48 hours,” he said. “So if you drive by my office and see the pirate flag flying, you’ll know someone got an acquittal that week.” Swingle spent the last three decades prosecuting the worst criminals in the St. Louis area, and he can recall minute details from cases he tried years ago. He was elected district attorney seven consecutive times, never losing a race. He prosecuted 140 jury trials, including 79 murder cases, and has appeared on “Dateline,” “Forensic Files” and even “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Swingle then went on to serve as a prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. But now, Swingle is on the other side of the courtroom as a criminal defense attorney, and hundreds of miles away from the reputation he so painstakingly built over the years in Missouri. As Swingle put it, he “fell in love with a woman who wanted to move to Colorado,” and one year ago he found himself walking into the office of longtime Parker lawyer Jim Anest, asking to become a partner. Swingle misses the camaraderie of the DA’s office and the shared “sense of black humor” he said is necessary to prevent burnout as a prosecutor. Swingle noted that being a defense attorney is a lonely
existence. However, he said he is energized by the challenge and even warns clients ahead of time that the court proceedings will be fun for him. And, luckily, his “where’s the beef?” argument works on both sides of the courtroom. If there is not sufficient evidence to convict, Swingle points it out by citing the Wendy’s commercial from the 1980s. Swingle has had considerable success thus far, winning six out of the seven cases he’s taken on, but that’s “not because I’m such a great lawyer, but because the case should have never been filed.” He characterized Denver-area prosecutors as “reckless” when filing charges, largely because they’re trying to convince the defendant that they’re getting a good deal when lesser counts are offered as part of a plea bargain. “As a career prosecutor, I have always believed that if you are not winning 75 percent of your trials as a DA, you are using poor judgment in the decisions as to whom to charge and what cases to push to trial,” he said. It’s quite a different perspective. A few years back, Swingle was contemplating how he would react to the execution of a prisoner who he helped put on death row. The man had committed a triple homicide, but Swingle questioned whether he would feel remorse because “it’s like you’ve fired a bullet and several years later it hits the person and he’s dead.” He went to bed two hours before the scheduled execution and woke up the next morning with a clear conscience. “I thought, `The world is a better place without that guy,’” he said matter-of-factly. “I didn’t feel bad, after all.” The best part about being a privatepractice attorney is he can be selective with cases, as opposed to public defenders, who must take any client given to them. He recalls meeting with a jailed client who lied to him throughout their consultation. “Life is too short for me to spend countless hours representing that guy,” he said. “I didn’t even like him.”

HOME PROTECTION
BOOK IT
Swingle received numerous death threats as a prosecutor and even had an anonymous caller wish his newborn dead. On one separate occasion, a dispatcher called to let him know that an armed suspect was running toward his house. He put the baby in a bassinet, retrieved his gun and waited. The situation was resolved without incident. Swingle prosecuted a man in a real estate deal who cashed a $50,000 check that was supposed to be in the amount of $5,000. Swingle later learned the man was in jail offering $1,000 to potential hitmen to take him out. “I had ambivalent feelings because on the one hand, I was a little insulted that I was only worth $1,000. But on the other hand, I was glad he made the offer so low that he didn’t get any takers,” he said.
In conversation, Swingle often refers to heavyweights like Vincent Bugliosi, the man who prosecuted Charles Manson and his murderous “family” of followers. After the 1995 acquittal of O.J. Simpson, Swingle began buying Bugliosi’s book, “Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson Got Away with Murder,” for every new prosecutor hired at his office. Swingle spent his career compiling humorous anecdotes and put them into a book called “Scoundrels to the Hoosegow.” It was Bugliosi, an early influence on his career, who provided a glowing review for the book jacket.

Teachers fired up by visit to space camp Parker educators bring back ideas for classrooms
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two Cimarron Middle School teachers had a summer vacation that was out of this world. Hector Diaz, an eighth-grade science teacher at the Parker school, and Kim Waller, an eighth-grade math teacher, spent a week at space camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, experiencing weightlessness, participating in a mock shuttle launch and collaborating with teachers from around the world. “They said (the launch simulation) is so real that you could actually have astronauts come and practice,” said Waller, who was an aerospace engineer in the Air Force before becoming a teacher. The pair was part of the Space Academy for Educators program, and their trip was sponsored by global tech company Honeywell. Waller and Diaz were put through the paces as astronauts, experiencing astronaut training in pools, taking part in a simulated mission to repair the International Space Station and lesson plans focused on teambuilding, problem-solving and leadership.
“People ask me, ‘What did you do?’ but it’s one of those things that you really have to experience it,” Diaz said. In addition, they were given a behindthe-scenes look at the history of space travel. “You think of mission control in Florida and you think of it in Texas, but you don’t think of it in Huntsville, Alabama,” Waller said. “Wernher Von Braun, who is our father of space, loved Alabama because it reminded him of home in Germany.” Successful failure During space camp, teachers from around the world were split up into teams of about 15. They were put through the week-long course as if they were students by other teachers, with the idea that they will be able to re-create similar experiences for their classes back home. “In our group, we had people from India and Poland and Spain. You all come together and share ideas, and that’s kind of a neat collaboration in and of itself,” Waller said. “Our teacher told us that there’s life before space camp and life after space camp and that you can look at your teaching career and say, that was before and this after.” Waller and Diaz said they were impressed by how willing their global counterparts were to take chances in the classroom. “That whole concept of just try and if it
doesn’t work it doesn’t work. It’s the whole Apollo 13 thing where it can be a successful failure,” Waller said. “You can’t learn if you don’t fail. We teach our kids that all the time, but I think as teachers we aren’t as willing to fail.” Bringing something back The main focus of the program is to give teachers ideas and inspirations they can bring home to their classrooms. Diaz has already worn his official NASA flight suit to class in order to spark a conversation about space and is armed with a fresh slate of ideas for labs. “I want to do a lab where students try to filter water,” Diaz said. “One of the problems with going into space is you have a limited amount of space and weight you can carry. The more weight you send up the more expensive it is. It think it’s one pound to $100,000. They can’t send up all of the water they need, so the astronauts have to filter their own urine, or any liquids they use to reuse.” Diaz also says he has plans of experiments looking at the problem of re-entry and looking at different types of rocket fuels. Waller said she plans on using the Apollo 13 mission as an exercise in problemsolving and logic and will have students research technological innovations that
have come out of the space program. “We’re going to collaborate a lot more and really get the kids to see that math is how we explain science,” Waller said.
Mission to Mars The NASA shuttle program ended in 2011. Many of Diaz’s and Waller’s students have never seen a space shuttle launch live and some were even unaware of the space program’s current function. Waller said many of her students did not know that you can see the International Space Station from earth at various times, or that that NASA has a schedule of when and where to look for it. However, the teachers said there was one mission that still captures the imagination — a trip to Mars. “The kids actually knew quite a bit about it,” Diaz said. “They knew it would take several years and that there have been people who have already volunteered to go. The idea of going to Mars is exciting for them.” According to NASA, the space program had the goal to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s. “I told them, we’re going to be going to Mars in 15 to 20 years. You’re 12 or 13 years old now,” Waller said. “Who do you think are going to be the astronauts on that mission?”

Country singer-songwriter to hit PACE stage Rodney Crowell looks back on career successes
Rodney Crowell songs written for or played by other artists
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com
• “Till I Gain Control Again” — Emmylou Harris
Rodney Crowell, the country singer-songwriter with a star-studded list of musical accomplishments, is bringing his tales and talents to the PACE Center stage at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 29. Fresh off a tour to Europe and Australia with legendary singer Emmylou Harris, Crowell spoke to Colorado Community Media about his upcoming show in Parker and the life that molded a respected songwriter-storyteller-artist.
• “Making Memories of Us” — Keith Urban
Making a name It was in the late 1980s and early 1990s that Crowell made a big splash as a recording artist. He was nominated for “Album of the Year” in 1988 by the Academy of Country Music Awards for “Diamonds and Dirt,” which produced five top-10 singles. Crowell was a “radio star,” but he follows that description with a caveat: “Kind of.” “Radio? They’re with you, but when you’re gone, they’re gone,” said Crowell, now 65. Up until then, he’d been quietly amassing a catalog of songs used by artists from Merle Haggard to Bob Seger to Harris, who has become a close friend and motivator through her mere presence and seemingly flawless ability. Crowell most appreciates the fans who have supported him in recent years because the music he’s written in the middle stages of his career best represents what he brings to the table. “The work I’ve done in the last 15 years is what I want to be remembered by,” said Crowell, who was married to Rosanne Cash, the singer-songwriter and daughter of Johnny Cash, from 1979 to 1992. ‘A tap on the shoulder’ Crowell drops big industry names — like those of Rob-
• “Please Remember Me” — Tim McGraw • “Ain’t Living Long Like This” — Waylon Jennings • “Shame on the Moon” — Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band • “Song for the Life” — Alan Jackson
Rodney Crowell will play the PACE Center at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 29. Photo by David McClister bie Robertson, co-founder of The Band, and T-Bone Burnett, the prolific A-list producer — not because he’s trying to build himself up, but because they are his colleagues, his friends and, in some cases, his mentors. When asked if there was a moment of validation in which he finally felt he belonged, Crowell recalls the smoke-haze atmosphere of the Palomino Club in north Hollywood one night in the 1970s. Willie Nelson was playing to a packed house and Crowell was in the audience. Without any forewarning, Nelson asked Crowell on stage to play one of Crowell’s songs. He refers to the act as a “confirmation” and a “tap on the shoulder” of sorts. “It’s not easy to sing harmony with Willie, but who cared?” he said. “As I was walking through the crowd, I thought, ‘(Shoot), I’ve just been knighted!’” Looking back, looking forward Crowell, a native Texan who in turn became a Californian and then a Tennessean, was last in Colorado for the
Telluride Blues Festival in 2013. His show at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center Aug. 29 will be his first at the venue. Crowell will play the songs that have always connected with the audience. “One thing never changes that I’ve learned about songs: when I get it right, it works for everybody,” he said. When asked whether he considers himself a traditionalist, Crowell says the term is hard to define. Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Lightnin’ Hopkins were rooted in rhythm and blues, but put their own spin on the music that influenced them, as did the Beatles and Rolling Stones after them. Crowell has done the same with his heroes. There are certain songs he’s written that have been poorly covered by other artists; Crowell insists that’s none of his business because, even though he receives the royalties, it “becomes their song.” That’s the case with the success stories, too. “It’s like ‘Shame on the Moon.’ Bob Seger took that away from me forever. I will never perform that song with as much power and the degree to which he made it his own...” Crowell trailed off. “The ones I don’t like, I’m just grateful that they gave it a go.” For tickets to the Aug. 29 show, visit https://parkerarts. ticketforce.com/.

World Compass Academy will be home to 500 students
-By Mike DiFerdinando emdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com
Douglas County’s newest charter hschool, World Compass Academy, celebratsed the culmination of years of work with its tgrand opening ceremony Aug. 15 in Castle Rock. The school, located on East Frontage road next to Plum Creek Community Church, will start classes Aug. 24. In its first year, WCA will be home to 500 students in grades K-5. “I believe that it’s every parent’s dream to find an educational home for their children that will inspire and challenge them to go anywhere and do anything,” said World Compass Academy Principal Jim McDevitt. “I think World Compass Academy will be that home.” Charter schools are public schools, and like district public schools, they are funded based on enrollment. McDevitt began his career as a teacher and worked as an assistant principal before beginning as a principal in 2002 at Dakota Valley Elementary. He was later selected from a national competitive search to open Coyote Hills Elementary School in the Cherry Creek School District. Both these schools were awarded John Irwin School of Excellence awards under his leadership. Most recently, he has worked as principal for Immokalee Community School in Florida. Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue was on hand for the ribbon cutting, saying that as one of the country’s fastest-growing communities, the town is in desperate need of more schools. “One of the challenges that comes
from such a fast-growing community is the shortage of schools,” Donahue said. “We have a lot of kids and a lot of families that are moving here, and they want to live here. We have to have schools available for them.” During the ceremony, WCA Board President Bethany Merkling spoke on the time and effort the school’s founding families put into bringing the charter to fruition. She described their work as being parachute packers for the children that will eventually go through WCA and out into the adult world. “We have made it here because of the hundreds of people, the over 10,000 hours of time spent packing the parachute making sure our school dream becomes a reality,” Merkling said. In appreciation for her work, the school’s board dedicated the gymnasium as the Merkling Multipurpose room to “always remember where our roots were founded and the people who asked what if.” Potential students and families were given a tour of the new facility following the ceremony. The new charter includes gluten-free and organic lunch options. Interior rooms at the school feature solar tubes that collect natural sunlight from outside and deliver it through special lightbulbs in the classrooms. Student in grades 3-5 will have access to full classroom sets of Google Chromebooks. WCA’s playground will be located behind the school and have a view of Castle Rock’s iconic rock formation. The playground itself was purchased from Woodlands Academy and will be moved to its new home in time for the start of classes. In addition to the playground, there will be basketball and four-square courts. For more information, visit worldcompassacademy.com

Sheriff’s office issues fraud alert Staff report The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is advising residents to be on the lookout for scammers. Two of the most common door-to-door schemes, according to the sheriff’s office: • Magazine-subscription agents using teens and young adults to approach residents and sell subscriptions at often over-inflated prices, claiming they are raising money for a charity, school trip, or other seemingly worthy cause. • Traveling contractors, offering services such as roof repair, driveway paving, yard work and other handyman-type activities. They may quote a low price, but most raise the fee substantially after the work is supposedly complete.
Here are a few examples of things you can do to avoid scams, according to the sheriff’s office: • Ask for identification from the salesperson before they enter your home. • Don’t do business on the spot; ask for all information to be put in writing. • Research companies with the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org). • Get written estimates from several companies and check references for each company. Consumers who believe they have fallen victim to a scam should report it to a local law enforcement agency. If you have not fallen victim but would like to report fraudulent activity, you may do so atwww.coloradoattorneygeneral.gov/ complaint

VOICES

It’s your turn; it’s your time Have you ever spoken with someone who seems to always share stories about the people they know who have accomplished something great or are always doing something fun? It happened to me the other day; all they could talk about was what other people did or who other people knew. You know how it goes, you might be talking about climbing a 14er and someone might say something like, “I have a friend who has climbed almost all of the 14ers here in Colorado.” And then you may ask them if they have ever climbed one, and they answer, “No, I have not but I hope to one day.” Or you may have met someone and a discussion around travel took place and the other person says, “I know a man who travels all the time, he was just recently in Tuscany sipping wine and eating spectacular food.” And you inquire if they travel much or if they had ever been to Italy, “No, I don’t travel, but I would love to visit Europe one day.” You get the point, right? It could be knowing someone or having a friend who has summited Mount Everest, swam with sharks, has been to every Major League Baseball stadium, played golf at Augusta National or Pebble Beach, has read the Bible cover
to cover, has written a book, has met the Dalai Lama, traveled to every continent, has been on a safari, etc., etc., etc. So when is it your turn? Your time? Many people love to live vicariously through the lives and adventures of others. Michael Norton They have a “bucket WINNING list” in their heads, or a wish list of dreams WORDS and goals, but they never take the first step toward actually fulfilling their dreams. And the dreams and goals do not have to be so grandiose such as summiting Mount Everest or going on a safari, although they certainly can be. Goals and dreams are very personal and different in size and scale for everyone. If you have a goal or a dream, there is a way to achieve it. The only person that can stop you is … you. So again, when is it your turn? When is it your time? When will you be
able to take part in a discussion about something specific and relative to one of your “bucket list” items and say, “I did that, and let me share with you my experience?” Temporary barriers like money can be overcome through proper planning and saving. Artificial barriers, self-imposed limitations such as not having enough time, fear, anxiety, or not having anyone to do things with are simply excuses that can also be overcome. You see, we only live once, so we have to ask ourselves, “When is it my turn, when is it my time to …?” You fill in the blank. How about you? Are you an unwritten book? A business waiting to be opened? A lover waiting to be loved? A destination to be explored? A first house waiting to be purchased? A dreamer or a fulfilled dream? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we realize that it is our turn and it is our time, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
For writer, world is rich with irony ore You can drink in Colorado on your 21st birthday, and not a minute before then. However, the law is sometimes broken. The minimum age to purchase tobacco in Colorado is 18. The law, as you may have noticed, is sometimes broken. You can drive legally in Colorado when you are even younger than that. In rural areas, this law is also sometimes broken, and we hear about a 9-year-old who steals his daddy’s Nova. (Did you know that the Nova didn’t go over very well in countries where the words “no va” mean “no go”?) All of this led me to wonder how old you have to be to legally use irony. I am sure that irony laws vary from state to state, just as those other laws do that I mentioned. If there are irony laws, I am sure that I broke them. I can distinctly remember telling my mother, “This tuna noodle casserole sure tastes good,” when I was 5 or 6, when, in fact, I thought it was appalling. If you think I was being sarcastic, I wasn’t. The difference between irony and sarcasm is that the intent of irony is not to hurt anyone’s feelings. Big difference. I can be sarcastic too. I prefer irony. I keep thinking that Donald Trump is trying to be one or the other. He’s not.
He is expressing his opinions. I think if he were elected, David Letterman would come out of retirement. (He did, briefly, and gave a Donald Trump Top Ten List at a Steve Martin and Martin Short Craig Marshall Smith concert in San Antonio. By the QUIET Letterman has DESPERATION way, a full beard.) Trump often sounds like he is one of the speakers at a celebrity roast, but his comments aren’t intended to be witty. Celebrity roasts might be as vile as humor gets. Unless it turns you on to hear what a mediocre personality has to say about the celebrity’s sex life. It always helps if your listener knows that you are being ironic. Many times my listeners — and my readers — do not get it, and I have to explain myself, or apologize. If I have to explain what I meant, the whole thing is voided, since a lot of my irony depends upon humor. There is one thing I have learned about irony, sarcasm and humor: Know your audi-
ence. With a column like this that is not always possible. If I were writing for The Onion, I would write very differently. But I am understandably tempered by my community and by the readership. Offending or irking someone is easier than ever these days, and almost anything can trigger someone. For example, I am very suspicious of anyone who puts a dress on a Chihuahua. I am very doubtful of anyone who buys a brooch on the Home Shopping Network, owns a cat, or flavors their coffee. There is irony all around us. The trick is to recognize it. If it’s unrecognized, the speaker needs what is called a “double audience.” You will see that frequently in films. The speaker knows that his listener isn’t in on it, but the audience is. “Missippi’s literacy program shows improvement” was an actual headline. Pacific Bell had a bunch of billboards that said, “Phone out of order? Give us a call.” What’s ironic about drawing a tree on a piece of paper? Or a sign that says, “Eyes examined while you wait?” Get it? Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
Health coverage causes worry for aging America The average age of our communities is rising. This changes everything, from housing to retail offerings and especially medical care. We see hospitals expanding and medical facilities cropping up all over town. In addition to the facilities, the health-care industry continues to research new solutions for whatever ails you, from increased testing, new drug solutions and more focus on diet and exercise. These are all good things … and they are all expensive. The 2015 United States of Aging Survey, conducted by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and United Healthcare, examines older Americans’ perspectives on aging and what can be done to better support an increasing, longer-living senior population. The top financial worries that keep older Americans up at night are increasing costs of living (28 percent) and unexpected medical expenses (24 percent). However, professionals surveyed express an even greater level of concern about unexpected medical expenses; 87 percent rank this issue as their top financial concern. Another financial concern professionals have is not having enough disposable income (84 percent). Keep in mind, your financial advisor’s job is to help you plan for the future.
Health-care costs are definitely a major concern, mainly because it increases at a higher rate than average inflation, and because it is unpredictable and often underestimated in one’s future expenses. Being aware of Patricia Kummer what resources are available is key, in FINANCIAL to staying as STRATEGIES addition healthy as possible. This includes understanding open enrollment season, which is fast approaching for persons age 64 or older, even if still working. Here is why: Medicare is available at age 65 unless you are employed by a firm with greater than 20 employees. There is a short window of when you can enroll, three months prior to your 65th birthday, your birthday month, and three months after. You do not need to apply for Social Security simultaneously. That is a separate decision. If you do not apply during this time frame, there will be a penalty imposed. You also must have no break in medical insurance coverage; therefore it is wise to
plan for this, especially in conjunction with leaving employment. Taking COBRA does not exempt you from the enrollment requirement. It is also important to understand what your options are for supplemental coverage. This is crucial since Medicare does not pay for everything. Medicare Part A is hospital insurance, Part B is medical insurance and both carry a deductible. Part C can be a combination of A and B and may also include Part D, which is prescription drug coverage. Understanding how Part C works if you choose an HMO (health maintenance organization) or a PPO (preferred provider organization) will also impact your out-ofpocket exposure. There are 10 different Medigap policies to choose from, named after the first 10 letters of the alphabet, A through N. Many retirees choose a Medicare Advantage Plan under Part C rather than dealing with the remaining alphabet soup. However, some of the other Medigap policies may be more suitable, depending on your health needs. This is a complicated subject and should be addressed on an individual basis. In order to help make the community more aware of their options, there will be two Medicare workshops at the Highlands Ranch Library Kummer continues on Page 9

at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. All of the vehicles will be based at South Metro’s station 35, southwest of Arapahoe Road and Peoria Street and just north of the airport’s property. The fire department and Centennial Airport have a mutual-aid agreement. As South Metro Fire Chief Bob Baker pointed out, most airplane and helicopter crashes occur off airport grounds, creating a need for apparatuses with different response capabilities. Just like any special team — HAZMAT, dive rescue, wildland, technical rescue — it’s critical to be prepared. “All of that equipment is specialized, it’s expensive and we never want to use it, but if we’re called upon to use it, we want to make sure we have the necessary equipment and apparatus to take care of our people,” Baker said. Baker, who assumed the role of fire chief last fall, noted the crash of a cargo plane into a Centennial neighborhood last December that killed the pilot. With jet fuel in play, a rapid and effective answer is that much more important. Baker has been with South Metro for three decades and remembers when a military helicopter crashed near Cottonwood about 25 years ago. Firefighters are trained to prepare for munitions aboard military aircraft, and the new vehicles provide the ability to make an aerial attack on the flames. A brand new Stryker T-2500 would normally cost around $1 million, but with “fiscal stewardship” in mind, South Metro found a refurbished one for $300,000, Baker said. “When we found it, we grabbed it,” he said. The combined cost of the two vehicles was $618,000. Centennial Airport’s contribution of more than $230,000 and a state grant of $287,000 covered the bulk of the cost. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon brought her grandchildren Lena Williams, 8, and Evie Williams, 5, to explore the new equipment, as did Mike Fronapfel, the deputy director of planning and development for Centennial Airport. His daughter, Lauren, 4, and son, Drew, 3, climbed on top of a fire truck and into the cabs of the new vehicles with looks of wonderment on their faces.

nonrenewable groundwater in aquifers to renewable surface water. It incorporates many of the newest technologies and eventually will be able to process 40 million gallons per day. The first phase of construction spawned a facility that can churn out about 10 million gallons of treated water per day. The new treatment plant processes 1.5 million gallons of the 12-million-gallon average needed to satisfy daily summertime demands, Redd said. A $50 million revenue bond approved by the Parker Water and Sanitation District’s board of directors in November 2010 covered the cost of construction, permits, engineering and the pipelines that move water in and out of the plant. The district secured a Build America Bond, which has a

low interest rate and interest rebate, to help drive down costs. The loan, which was refinanced in 2012, is being repaid through tap fees from existing revenues and new users hooking into the system. Four employees are based out of the treatment plant. Construction crews are still installing a conference room, bathrooms, and finishing the front entrance. The work will be completed in late September and Parker Water will have a community open house in mid-October. Approximately 20 percent of the total construction costs went toward ceramic filters that are more durable than traditional plastic filters and expected to last from 20-25 years. “What’s different about this plant is it’s a fairly state-of-the-art facility,” Redd said. “It’s gathering a lot of attention from across the country and the world because of the technology we’re using. We’re anticipating lots of phone calls and (requests for) tours.” Patricia Kummer has been an independent certified financial planner for 29 years and is president of Kummer Financial Strategies Inc., a registered investment advisor in Highlands Ranch.

sometimes touted as being safer than traditional cigarettes, as well as ways to stop smoking. Research into the long-term effects of the emerging products, however, is slim. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the potential risks of e-cigarettes are not yet fully understood. But the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation, Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis, reported in 2014 that e-cigarette cartridges from the two leading brands revealed “the product contained detectable levels of known carcinogens and toxic chemicals to which users could potentially be exposed.” In Colorado, e-cigarettes have been considered tobacco products since 2011, and it is illegal for anyone to sell them or any other tobacco product to a minor. Additionally, it is illegal
The business Nationally, e-cigarettes have grown into a multi-billion dollar industry. Retail outlets have become more common sights, including in the south metro Denver area. One such store is Vapez Castle Rock, which has been open for business in Castle Rock for just over a year. “We’ve seen an extreme growth in our customer base,” said Casey Alfrey, general manager of the store. Alfrey said that although some people turn to their products to help them quit smoking, the biggest appeal to his customers is for big flavor and big clouds of vapor, which can be achieved by custom-building a device. Alfrey said the store is diligent about checking IDs for all who enter and has had to turn some underage teens away.

Use by minors on rise A growth in youth consumption has accompanied the rise in overall popularity of e-cigarettes. Use among middle and high school students tripled from 2013 to 2014, according to data published in April by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products. Findings from the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey show that e-cigarette use (at least one day in the past 30 days) among high school students increased from 4.5 percent in 2013 to 13.4 percent in 2014, rising from approximately 660,000 to 2 million students. Among middle school students, use more than tripled from 1.1 percent in 2013 to 3.9 percent in 2014 — an increase from approximately 120,000 to 450,000 students. “This is the first time since the survey started collecting data on e-cigarettes in 2011 that current e-cigarette use has surpassed current use of every other tobacco product overall, including conventional ciga-
rettes,” the report states. The report also showed that hookah smoking roughly doubled for middle and high school students, while cigarette use declined among high school students and remained unchanged for middle school students. Among high school students, hookah use rose from 5.2 percent in 2013 (about 770,000 students) to 9.4 percent in 2014 (about 1.3 million students). Among middle school students, hookah use rose from 1.1 percent in 2013 (120,000 students) to 2.5 percent in 2014 (280,000 students). “The increases in e-cigarette and hookah use offset declines in use of more traditional products such as cigarettes and cigars,” the report continued. In Douglas County Paula Hans, spokeswoman for the Douglas County School District, said schools in the district have long been drug- and tobacco-free zones and have already been enforcing the prohibition on all tobacco products
on campuses. The district policy defines tobacco products as “all kinds and forms of tobacco such as cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, dissolvables, electronic cigarettes, paraphernalia and other emerging products suitable for chewing or smoking and any other product that is packaged for smoking.” The policy outlaws possession or use of these products. A second and final reading of the proposed county ordinance — which would apply only to unincorporated parts of the county — is scheduled for Sept. 8. The public will have an opportunity to comment. If it passes, the ordinance against possession of cigarettes and tobacco products by minors will include e-cigarettes, vaporizers, hookahs and other emerging products. If a minor is given a citation, it will be a Class 2 petty offense and a $100 fine, the same penalty as the old ordinance.

Colorado may ban ‘candy’ name on marijuana treats Edible products have been tied to accidential consumption
By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press Edible marijuana products in Colorado may soon come labeled with a red stop sign, according to a draft of new rules released Aug. 12 by state marijuana regulators. The state may also ban the word “candy” from edible pot products, even if they’re sweets such as suckers or gummy chews. The new pot symbol — an octagon stop-sign shape with the letters “THC” to indicate marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient — would have to be on individual edible items, not just labels. Liquid marijuana products would be limited to single-serve packaging — defined as 10 milligrams of THC. Regulators rejected an earlier proposal to mark edible pot with a weed-leaf symbol after a parents’ group complained the symbol would simply attract children, not dissuade
them from eating the products. The proposed rules were released as the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division works on new guidelines for edible marijuana, which can be baked into cookies or brownies or added to a dizzying array of items from sodas, to pasta sauces, to granolas. The agency tried and failed last year to implement a requirement that edible marijuana have a distinct look when outside of its packaging, a requirement passed by state lawmakers last year amid concerns that some people were accidentally eating food infused with marijuana. The state already banned pot manufacturers from using cartoon characters on packaging or making “look-alike” products such as candies designed to mimic common foods. But the state has seen sporadic reports of people unknowingly eating pot. Perhaps most famous was a man hospitalized after unknowingly eating pot-infused chocolate at the 2014 Denver County Fair. The new edible pot rules face a public hearing before final adoption. Marijuana regulators in Colorado have until January to implement a 2014 law re-
quiring edible marijuana to have a distinct look when outside its packaging. The law was passed after reports of people accidentally eating foods infused with marijuana. The agency tried but failed to come up with those rules last year after several meetings with pot manufacturers. The manufacturers complained that the law — which requires edible to be “stamped, shaped, colored or otherwise marked” that it is not for consumption by children — would be unwieldy when it comes to liquid products or anything besides hard candies or cookies. In response, the state health department last year suggested banning all edible marijuana except for lozenges or other items that could be easily stamped. The proposal was quickly withdrawn after the industry and consumers complained. The sponsor of the law requiring a distinct look for edible pot (called the stopsign symbol) and the “candy” label ban said they are appropriate steps to address concerns that pot candies can tempt kids who don’t know it’s a product that will intoxicate them. “I don’t think that items that aren’t at-
tractive to kids like granola and salad dressing need to be held to the same high standard of marking, stamping, or coloring,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont. “I’d like to see hard and fast rules for items that are attractive to kids and exceptions for others.” Edible marijuana makers didn’t immediately reject the proposed rules — though they stressed that they believe that childproof packaging and clear labels are sufficient to keep kids out of edible pot, and that once out of the package, the manufacturers should not be responsible for how they’re stored. One cookie maker said she’d rather see the “THC” label in a circle, not a stop-sign shape. “A stop sign sends the message that THC is bad. That says, `Stay away,’” said Julie Berliner, CEO of Sweet Grass Kitchen, which makes marijuana-infused cookies. Colorado dispensaries last year launched a “First Time 5” campaign of posters to encourage new users to take a 5-milligram half-dose of marijuana to make sure they don’t overdo it. A marijuana advocacy group has taken out billboards and magazine ads with the tagline “Start Low, Go Slow.”

Two students diagnosed with meningitis No additional cases reported at Mountain Vista as of Aug. 18
Mountain Vista High School Principal Michael Weaver addresses the media Aug. 18 regarding two cases of viral meningitis at the Highlands Ranch school. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com
ABOUT VIRAL MENINGITIS Some facts about viral meningitis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: What it is: An inflammation of the tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord. Some symptoms: Fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea. How it spreads: Close contact
with an infected person or surface. How to avoid it: Among other ways, wash hands with soap and water; avoid kissing or sharing cups or utensils with someone who is sick; disinfect frequently
touched surfaces. Treatment: Usually, no specific treatment. Most people recover in seven to 10 days. Find more at www.cdc.gov/meningitis/viral.html
Two students at Mountain Vista High School have been diagnosed with viral meningitis. Both students are doing well and will remain home until their symptoms are gone, according to the school. “I feel pretty confident that they’re going to be in good shape,” said Mountain Vista Principal Michael Weaver. “We’ve communicated with their parents and kept in close contact and made sure we’re here for anything they need.” Viral meningitis is less severe than the bacterial version, and people usually get well on their own within seven to 10 days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The cases first came to the school’s attention Aug. 16, and as of Aug. 18 no additional cases had been reported, according to the school. The principal of the Highlands Ranch school informed parents of the two cases on Aug. 17. “Based on information spreading quickly through social media, we felt we would be proactive and get basic information out to families,” Weaver said. Classes began on Aug. 10 for freshmen and Aug. 11 for the rest of
the school of 2,231 students. K-12 students are not required to be vaccinated for viral meningitis. While there are meningitis vaccines, there is none to prevent the most common causes of the viral version, according to the CDC. For college students, the state requires a meningitis vaccine for those living in student housing. Viral meningitis generally requires no specific treatment and is rarely fatal in people with a healthy immune system. Hallmark symptoms are sudden fever, severe headache and a stiff neck. It frequently is not diagnosed because it is thought to be the flu, the CDC says. It is most frequently caused by common viruses called non-polio enteroviruses — which are present in bodily fluids like mucus and saliva. Viral meningitis can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or infected object or surface, according to the CDC. “The biggest part is the awareness piece,” Weaver said. “It’s not a lot different than what we try and do every year to try and convince kids to take good care of themselves and wash their hands a lot. Don’t share things with other kids in the cafeteria. If they’re not feeling well, to make sure they’re taking care of themselves and stay home and check with their doctor.” Parents with questions are advised to contact their doctor or Mary Evensen, the school nurse, at 303387-1500.
Storm causes damage to airport, Broncos’ field Rain, hail came down hard in parts of south metro area By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com The storm that moved into the south metro area the afternoon of Aug. 10 took some by surprise. Heavy rain and hail fell, and flash-flood warnings were issued for parts of Arapahoe and Douglas counties. Damage was reported from around the area. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office mostly received reports of flooded streets, including Dry Creek Road, Memphis Street and Jordan Road, said Julie Brooks, public information officer. Manhole covers were coming off at 15800 E. Arapahoe Road, and near Inverness, someone reported that water was halfway up the side of their vehicle. With two inches of rain at Centennial Airport, 30 people had to evacuate a hangar located on the east side because a wall began to collapse. No injuries or damage to aircraft were reported, airport communications specialist Deborah Smith said. Water began entering the hangar on Control Tower Road, and South Metro Fire Rescue and the sheriff’s office responded. Smith said out of an abundance of caution, gas and electricity connected to the building were turned off. Six aircraft were relocated to a neigh-
boring hangar and local building inspectors, as well as the fire department, conducted a preliminary structural evaluation that afternoon. Part of the affected building was reopened, with a majority remaining restricted until a complete evaluation can be done by safety engineers. “Quick thinking on the part of our airport operations team, as well as firefighters and law enforcement, really helped give this story a happy ending,” Smith said. “No injuries and no damage to aircraft. That’s the kind of ending we all like to hear.” The preliminary inspection deemed the building safe enough for a restoration crew to go in and clean up water and debris, but there will be another structural evaluation soon, Smith said. Nearby, the Broncos faced a dilemma after the storm hit. The newly named UCHealth Training Center at 13665 E. Broncos Parkway was flooded, causing the Denver Broncos’ training camp practice to be closed on Aug. 11. Practice continued Aug. 12 as the turf crew worked hard to repair the field. The Broncos’ camp Twitter account revealed the crew had a bit of fun with it, as photos showed them sitting on a mat, using plows as oars in the middle of the underwater field. Other photos showed tents, tables and chairs knocked over from the high winds.
South Metro Fire Rescue Authority responded to Centennial Airport after damage to a building was reported when a storm blew in on Aug. 10. The hangar, which is on the east side of the airport, was evacuated and part of the building still remains restricted because of structural damage. Photo courtesy of Centennial Airport

BENEFITS OF FITTING TOGETHER
Working in tandem Hank and Alida Alberts, of Parker, took up tandem cycling not only to improve their health, but to spend more time together. It was three years ago that Hank Alberts received an email as part of a health initiative at his communications company. It included a section about tandem bikes, and because he and his wife had gotten into cycling a few years earlier, he forwarded it to her. Alida Alberts replied within 10 minutes to tell her husband that she’d found a tandem bike on Craigslist. Due to varying ability levels, they previously found themselves separated on uphills, downhills and flats when riding individual bikes. “It’s really tough to stay together. You’re always wondering who’s where, and that ruins the fun of it,” Hank Alberts said. “We got a tandem that fits, and it’s been downhill ever since.” They took it slow to start out, watching online tutorials to learn techniques for stopping, turning, mounting and dismounting, balancing and communicating. And when
AJ and Jenifer Morton compete as a couple in bodybuilding. Courtesy photo by Isaac Hinds it came to decide who got the coveted front seat, Hank Alberts got the nod because he is the stronger rider of the two. Alida Alberts admits to taking in the scenery while trusting her husband to steer them out of trouble on the multiple century rides they do each year. The 100-mile treks have instilled more cooperation, brought them closer, and even made them the focal point of a feature article in the Wall Street Journal earlier this summer. The Albertses, who traveled 2,500 miles on their tandem last year while participating in nearly 20 organized rides, share a love for cycling and an incredible level of conditioning, which is far beyond most people at the age of 60. They’ve shed pounds and built muscle since taking up their cycling habit. “Between the two of us, we’ve lost over 100 pounds,” Alida Alberts said. There to pump you up Jenifer and AJ Morton had similar motivations for training together as bodybuilders. The Douglas County couple wanted to spend more time together, and Jenifer Morton developed a love for the sport from watching her
then-boyfriend just as he was starting out. After having her fifth child in January 2013, Jenifer Morton wanted to shake off the baby weight and decided to join AJ in his gym regimen. She admitted she was “a little bit stubborn about him pushing me” in the beginning because she didn’t trust him to know her limitations. By that summer, however, she was seeing changes in her body that boosted her confidence and made her a believer in her husband’s guidance. “I wasn’t sure I could do it, but then I realized I was putting in the same work,” she said. “I was doing what he was doing and started to think maybe it was possible for me to do a show.” In November, 11 months after having a baby, Jenifer and AJ Morton — ages 33 and 38, respectively — were on stage together in a mixed-pairs bodybuilding competition. They took the top prize and have since competed in two additional shows. Self-assurance and poise came with that newfound belief, and much of it was rooted in having a partner both push her and cheer her on. “If I could compete with him, then it wasn’t as scary,” said Jenifer Morton, who went on to become a personal trainer so she could help others.

Italian Baroque art comes to Denver ‘Castiglione: Lost Genius’ exhibit shares work from 17th century
IF YOU GO “Castiglione: Lost Genius” is in the Gallagher Family Gallery on the first floor of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum, on 13th Avenue, between Broadway and Bannock Street. It is included in general admission. Information: denverartmuseum.org.
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Denver Art Museum’s Gates Foundation curator of painting and sculpture, Timothy Standring, was a graduate student, he became fascinated with Italian painter/draftsman Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione — an interest that led to his doctoral thesis and a portion of the past 30 years following in Castiglione’s footsteps across Italy. He has been involved in archival studies and the study of quantities of paintings and prints produced by this artist from Genoa, labeled “Lost Genius.” The “Castiglione: Lost Genius” exhibit was developed with Martin Clayton, head of prints and drawings, Royal Collection Trust, and shown in London and Scotland. Standring expressed appreciation to Queen Elizabeth II for loaning this collection to the Denver Art Museum. It is known that Castiglione started in Genoa — a very sophisticated city in the 17th century — with travelers and traders from many lands passing through. He was well known in Genoa, but not selling enough art. Following a dispute in which he destroyed a canvas he had painted for a patron who refused to pay, he went to Rome, in disguise, to seek his fortune. Rome, with a population of about 100,000, was the center of the art world (where there was a great deal of competition) and he looked at works by Titian, Rembrandt, Poussin, Bernini. Something happened in Rome and he returned to Genoa, where he began to have some success. In the course of his life in Italy, he also lived in Mantua, where he worked at the Gonzaga court, Parma and finally Venice. Clayton emphasized that these drawings, done on paper with oil paint and a boar bristle brush, were finished products — not casual sketches for a painting. They were collected by artists and

Courtesy photo others in his time. “Patrons in Rome wanted mythology and grand subjects,” Standring said in a press preview he shared with British cocurator Clayton, with whom Standring has worked for six years. They spoke of long hours in the print room, going through each drawing in that collection and deciding if it was indeed Castiglione’s work — or that of an artist in his workshop — or possibly by his brother. “There are some we could not agree on and they are not in this show,” Clayton said. Prior to this exhibition, Castiglione’s works were known mainly by specialists in the field. The two have co-authored a catalog that accompanies
the show. “Castiglione: Lost Genius” includes about 90 drawings, etchings and monotypes, the first exhibit of his work in about 40 years and the only one to feature these treasures from the Royal Collection. Clayton commented that “it is hard to construct a chronology of a career — some monotypes are dated.” Castiglione invented the monotype in the 1640s, but it wasn’t adopted by other artists until the Impressionists in the late 19th century. “There are about 13 extant — we have five,” Standring said. Works in the Royal Collection were acquired about 100 years after Castiglione’s
• The Royal Collection Trust, a department of the Royal Household, is responsible for the care of what is among the largest and most important art collections in the world — the last great royal art collection to remain intact. • Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, a self-proclaimed genius, is an almost-forgotten master of the Italian Baroque. • Castiglione’s drawings on paper were made with a boar’s bristle brush and oil paint, with linseed oil and turpentine. • The monotype he invented allowed him to smear ink on a plate and draw with a stick to remove portions of the ink into an image.

death by King George III. “This is close to one-third of known surviving works. Most are in museums,” Standring said. “There is no complete catalog.” The presumed self-portrait of Castiglione is dominated by intense eyes, which may lend understanding to Standring’s account of court records he found in 1995 “that led to tales of murder, fraud and thievery.” However, he hopes visitors to this exhibit will focus on the artist’s great skills — his “fluidity, verve, passion,” instead of his temperament.

Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show Cowboy Band, led by William Sweeney, performed across the nation and in Europe more than 100 years ago. Its music is the theme for the Castle Rock Town Band’s concert at 3 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Outlets at Castle Rock. Courtesy photos
William Sweeney was leader of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show Cowboy Band. He wrote most of the music and arrangements, which will be played by the Castle Rock Town Band at the Outlets at Castle Rock at 3 p.m. Aug. 23.
Castle Rock Town Band goes back for inspiration Buffalo Bill’s musicians played shows all around U.S., Europe
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com “In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, traveling bands were the equivalent of today’s pop radio,” writes Castle Rock Town Band publicist Sean Keefe. And the true star of them all was Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show Cowboy Band,
Castle Rock/Franktown
which performed across the U.S. and throughout Europe. Castle Rock Town Band’s imaginative bandleader, Andy Goodger, has organized the next concert based on music played by that Cowboy Band in a free outdoor concert at 3 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Outlets at Castle Rock. The concert will be on the east side, just south of the food courts. The band, which currently has about 30 players of wind, string and percussion instruments, plays concerts throughout the year.

Parker Garage doesn’t let food out of its sight Parker Garage is launching one of the largest farm-to-table operations in Colorado. In a partnership with Lone Star Ranch, located in nearby Elizabeth, Parker Garage is bringing fresh, local ingredients direct from ranch to restaurant with awardwinning executive chef Duy Pham residing on the 1,000-acre ranch to help plant, grow and source ingredients for the restaurant. The Parker Garage menu will reflect the local farm cuisine, featuring as many fresh, seasonal ingredients as available and incorporating Pham’s 25-year, French-inspired culinary expertise. In addition to free-range cattle, the team is raising chickens and honeybees, fresh herbs for the kitchen and the bar, with plans to build a large greenhouse and add goats, ducks and quail to the ranch. “Our new farm-to-table experience will allow us to bring the best local ingredients to our customers and infuse Chef Pham’s passion for crafting an intention-based menu with hand-selected seasonal ingredients brilliantly prepared,” said Brent Walker, operating owner of Parker Garage. “The partnership with Lone Star Ranch is a perfect match based on our culinary point of view and desire to bring fresh, authentic food and flavors to the dining experience.” Parker Garage was recently visited by the Food Network for an episode of “Carnival Cravings” airing Aug. 26, in which Pham prepares a six-pound tomahawk rib for host Anthony Anderson. For the month
of August, Parker Garage will feature a single-serving bone-in short rib in celebration of the Food Network episode featuring Pham’s twist on the tomahawk rib. Limited quantities of the full six-pound tomahawk rib will be Penny Parker available for special MILE HIGH order. The full Parker LIFE Garage menu features a selection of local meats, seafood and vegetarian entrees, many of which are prepared sous-vide (French for “under vacuum”) as part of Pham’s French cooking technique. In addition, his culinary team delivers soups and sauces made from scratch, daily lunch and dinner selections from farm-fresh ingredients, with all butchering done in house. The menu rotates seasonally with daily features to reflect fresh sustainable ingredients sourced from the ranch and other select purveyors. Lunch and dinner are served seven days a week with Sunday brunch and a personalized chef’s table dining experience. The restaurant also features a wide selection of artisanal cocktails, craft beer and a full wine list. Both the restau-
rant and Lone Star Ranch are available for private events. Parker Garage is located in the original “Parker Garage” building on Mainstreet built in 1916, which served as the Warhorse Inn restaurant for 30 years. After purchasing the building to launch Parker Garage, the owner/operator team repurposed the historic building, including many of the original materials. For more information, visit www.ParkerGarage.com. CycleBar coming to Landmark CycleBar will open its first location in Colorado at The Landmark in Greenwood Village next year. A boutique indoor cycling studio, CycleBar unites riders of all ages and fitness levels by creating an unparalleled multi-sensor journey. CycleBar at The Landmark will be located at the base of the Landmark East residential tower across the lobby from the residential sales office. “We really wanted to bring another boutique fitness concept to The Landmark and CycleBar is the perfect fit,” said Amy Cara, the partner at East West Partners overseeing The Landmark development. “While we’re known as a dining and entertainment destination, we believe that CycleBar will contribute to fitness becoming a defining element of the community as well.” CycleBar is being brought to The Landmark by entrepreneurs Patrick and Anna
Walsh and will be the first of three CycleBar franchises they plan to open in the Denver area. The 3,300-square-foot CycleBar will be modeled after the corporate-owned location in Cincinnati, which opened in November 2014, featuring a modern and clean aesthetic. The signature CycleTheatre will have a fully controlled lighting system, two high-definition 80-inch screens and 55 Schwinn AC Pro Carbon Blue indoor bicycles. The cycles are top of the line and belt-driven, providing a smoother ride. Each bike will have a state-of-the-art computer system that tracks the power each rider produces, which is stored in a user profile and provided to the rider after each ride, so that individuals can track their progress over time.

Three artists’ works enliven Curtis

‘Los Tres’ back in show with ties to Biennial
IF YOU GO “Los Tres Revisited-NOW” is
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com One of the first exhibits in 1991 at the newly renovated Curtis Arts and Humanities Center — once an early brick schoolhouse — was “Los Tres,” featuring three Hispanic artists: Carlos Fresquez, Tony Ortega and Carlos Santistevan. Each has gone on to develop a distinctive style and to teach many others about Hispanic art and heritage. They have come together again at Curtis with a bright, colorful show — “Los Tres Revisited-NOW” — that traces their development and displays what they are creating now. (NOW is the theme of the 2015 Biennial de las Americas.) The three artists visited with old and new friends on Aug. 8 at the center’s opening reception, and the show will run through Sept. 8. All three have exhibited widely, and each artist has been a distinctive voice in the local art community for years. Carlos Fresquez was born in Denver and studied at Metropolitan State (bachelor’s) and University of Colorado-Boulder (MFA). He is an associate professor at Metro and area coordinator of painting. He has exhibited in more than 30 states and 10 different countries as well as in touring exhibitions. He has lectured widely about Chicano art history. His large “City Blues” hangs just inside the entrance to the left and commands the room. Other paintings are mixed through the gallery. Tony Ortega was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and lives in Denver, where he is chairman and associate professor of drawing and printmaking at Regis University. He received bachelor’s and MFA degrees from CU-Boulder and exhibits his work across the U.S. and in Latin America. In Denver, his art is exhibited at the William Havu Gallery. “My artwork reflects the Latino experience through individual slices of life
exhibited at the Curtis Arts and Humanities Center, 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, through Sept. 8. Gallery hours: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Admission is free. 303-708-6110, greenwoodvillage.com.
of the community, family, other sectors of urban and rural society,” he wrote. “The collective is the primary focus in all my work …. As an expressionist, I use distortion and exaggeration for emotional effect …. My artwork of common everyday life incorporates elements of magical realism …” (It also incorporates a sense of humor.) “I offer a multifaceted fiction that incorporates the traditions, history and culture of Latinos.” Colorful paintings of individual figures and groups appear throughout the show. He deliberately leaves faces blank. Carlos Santistevan was born in Denver and started woodcarving at age 6. He graduated from Antioch College and received a master’s degree in education administration from CU-Denver and has been involved in social service organizations as well as actively producing intricately carved retablos and bultos and metal sculptures and teaching others at the Denver Art Museum. His “Santa Nino de Atocha” is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution. At Curtis there are several large pieces: “En Mi Jardin” includes chickens at the feet of the holy figure that peck when one pulls a lever. It and “Nuestra Senora de Delores” are carved from a combination of aspen, juniper and pine. Mixed among the paintings and carvings are a number of three-dimensional works that seem to spin off from Hispanic-style altars. Take time to look closely and enjoy the details.

Event to raise money for school safety program BBQ, Brews and Banjos will be Aug. 23
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The country/bluegrass music of Grass it Up will float through the air Aug. 23 at BBQ, Brews and Banjos, presented by the Rotary Club of Castle Pines. The critically acclaimed band, based in Colorado Springs, includes band members David Jeffrey on mandolin and guitar; Shannon T. Carr on guitar, harmonica and banjo; Jon Bross on bass; and Jim Marsh on banjo. The first-time event in Larkspur will benefit the Douglas County Sheriff’s Youth Education and Safety in Schools program as well as youth programs of Rotary Club of Castle Pines Foundation Inc.
YESS Youth Education and Safety in Schools program is a nonprofit educational program in the Douglas County School District that strives to teach youths in the community how to recognize difficult situations and avoid becoming a law enforcement statistic. The program’s mission statement calls it “a proactive collaborative partnership with law enforcement, schools and community developing life skills in today’s youth and tomorrow’s leaders.” With the continued advances in technology and social media along with living in a state that has legalized marijuana, children today face many more temptations, obstacles and responsibilities than their parents did at their age. YESS aims to assist parents and the school district
in meeting the needs of educating youth, however, with minimal man power, budget and a continual changing landscapes it is difficult to meet all the needs. “Sheriff Tony G. Spurlock and the entire YESS team are grateful to the Rotary Club of Castle Pines for their continued support of our programs and the youth in Douglas County,” said YESS coordinator Phyllis Harvey. “We are excited for this event and know with the community’s help, the Rotary Club of Castle Pines and YESS will be able to meet our goals in providing quality, evidence-based education and do everything we can to keep Douglas County youth safe.”
AUGUST
The event will also benefit three Rotary Youth programs in the area: Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Camps, Rotary Youth Exchange and the Rotary Interact Club. Rotary Youth Leadership Awards is a program that originated with Rotary International and encourages servant leadership in youth by recognizing and rewarding deserving 11th-grade students who are chosen to attend the camp as an award for their past and present leadership and service activities. Rotary Youth Exchange is a Rotary International student exchange program for high school students. Since 1929, Rotary International has sent students around the globe to experience new cultures. Currently, about 9,000 students are sponsored by Rotary clubs each year. “Our whole focus is on the youth of Douglas County and the needs of the youth in terms of leadership, safety and programs that enable our students to be better citizens in the community,” said John Hauber, president of the

‘U.N.C.L.E.’ is high style, low substance Music choices help make thriller fun By Lindsay Bahr Associated Press It’s not until the climax of “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” a colorful, Cold War-era spy thriller, that its main failing becomes clear: The plot doesn’t matter. The characters don’t care. The script doesn’t care. And, the audience shouldn’t care either. That doesn’t make this odd adaptation of the 1960s NBC series bad. But it is a false promise that distracts from some of the other pleasures (and missteps) of the spectacle. “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” mercifully does not require any knowledge of its television origin. In fact, the forgettable acronym is uttered once and explained only in text in the closing credits. This ode to handsome men, women, clothes and cars is less about a Russian (Armie Hammer) and an American (Henry Cavill) teaming up to infiltrate a shadowy organization with nuclear ambitions, than
a sort of pastiche of the 1960s spy genre derived from Vogue magazine spreads. Director Guy Ritchie offers an intriguing and captivating introduction, though, weaving together humor, action and stylish, angular shots in a disarmingly simple, but effective, opening sequence. American agent Napoleon Solo (Cavill) needs to get a girl, Gaby (Alicia Vikander), daughter of “Hitler’s favorite rocket scientist,” out of East Berlin, while Russian agent Illya Kuryakin (Hammer) tries to stop that from happening. The scene builds tension expertly and works with the constraints of the 1960s cars to make the chase exciting. The suave Solo is unfazed by setbacks, and yet he’s still in awe of Illya’s brute power. Indeed, Illya is made out to be a superhuman. At 6’ 5”, Hammer is an imposing presence, but even on screen, the wonder with which everyone treats this “giant” seems like a stretch. You just accept it, though, much like the American actor’s cartoonish Russian accent. It’s all used for comedy, and the physicality gets even more absurd. Over the course of the film, Illya throws, in no particular order, a hotel coffee table, a
ABOUT THE MOVIE “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “action violence, some suggestive content, and partial nudity.” Running time: 116 minutes. Two stars out of four.
television, a cafe bistro table, Henry Cavill, a motorbike, and a trunk that he’s just torn off of a moving car. Alas, the movie doesn’t fulfill the tease of the opening sequence. From there it devolves into a series of revelations with diminishing returns. Illya and Solo team up, give each other pet names (Cowboy and Peril), debate fashion and travel to picturesque locales all in service of finding this rogue nuclear bomb. It’s the type of film that’s more interested in having side characters say pretty things like “I’m on a strict diet of champagne and caviar,” and making sure model-like hotel clerks submit within
minutes of casual propositions, than it is in its main story. Solo and Illya’s odd couple pairing is woefully underused, too. We know that they’re two sides of an ideological coin and a thief and a thug at heart, but this movie doesn’t even attempt to serve that tension. Mostly it’s silent glares and the occasional strategic disagreement, the most amusing of which are over clothes. Perhaps this film should have been an all-out farce. What pleasure does exist is in the carefully crafted aesthetics and the exaggerated acting, especially Cavill’s devilish charm. Vikander and Elizabeth Debicki (as the glamorous big bad) are deliciously cool. Ritchie, meanwhile, experiments with in-depth tangents and bold, suggestive subtitles, as though he’s attempting something approximating Tarantino-lite. It doesn’t come close to that, but the catchy, perfectly timed music choices do go a long way in making the overall experience much more fun. “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” could be smarter. It could be faster. It could have given Hugh Grant more to do. But, in this case, beautiful, adequate and escapist is almost enough.

The Affordable Arts Festival will be held for a fourth year on the West Lawn at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 30. More than 140 artists from 18 different states will display and sell their works: paintings, prints, photographs, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, wood and metal work. The show is hosted by the ACC Foundation and proceeds from the ticket sales will go towards student scholarships — including art students. The festival is a fast-growing concept across the country, according to manager Jim Delutes, who also runs the Memorial Day Downtown Art Show. Artists may have older inventory that had been in a higher price range and they sell it here for under $100 — plus they create new items in that lower-priced category for this show.

2015 Outlook - The Mustangs were the state runners-up last season and have several players returning, including preseason Prepvolleyball All-American Smith. They also have Hiller, a transfer from Utah, and Richardson, who moved in from Thornton. “We have many seniors with lots of experience,” said Graham. “They are extremely hungry to get back to the finals and push for the championship this year.” Chaparral Wolverines Coach - Amanda West 2014 Record - 18-9 (5-5) League - Continental Players to Watch - Jasmine Smith, O, Jr.; Sarah Vang, Sr., OH (242 kills); Makenna Davis, Jr., OH. 2015 Outlook - Wolverines have compiled winning seasons seven of the past eight years and during one four-year stretch averaged 27 wins a season. This season seven seniors return spread across all positions on the team. “With the outstanding balance for our all-out defend-
Types of volleyball serves, according to volleyball.about.com and other sources:
League - 3A Metro
Floater — This serve does not spin and is struck with a solid wrist. The serve moves in unpredictable ways, making it difficult to pass. A float serve catches the air and can move unexpectedly to the right or left.
Players to Watch - Madi Arnell, Sr., S (620 assists); Beth Vanderhyde, Sr., L; Ashley Hazel, Sr., MB; Jordan Meisner, Sr., MB (.332 hitting percentage, 48 blocks); Cayley Walker, Sr., OH (217 kills)
Topspin — The wrist is snapped forward, as when throwing, when making contact with the volleyball. This puts spin on the ball. This serve has a more predictable movement but can be hard to handle because of its quick speed.
2014 record - 15-9 (8-2)
2015 Outlook - Lions have a team loaded with seniors and are hopeful that experience will pay big dividends. “We hope to use our court experience to be strong defensively and smart offensively,” said Oates. “We should have a pretty balanced offense and be a strong serving team.” Legend Titans Coach - Katie Winsor 2014 Record - 16-11 (4-6) League - Continental Players to Watch - Kasie Gilfer, Sr. (50.3 kill percentage, 158 blocks), MB; Jordan Mullen, Sr., OH. 2015 Outlook - Legend opened the 2014 Continental League season with four straight losses but otherwise had an excellent season. “We will be focusing on a lot of defense this year,” said Winsor

Volleyball teams benefit when players come up aces By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s often been stated that the serve is one volleyball skill in which the player has complete control. High school girls usually use float serves, topspin serves and jump serves, and teams can benefit if players have good command of these deliveries. “The serve is the most underused weapon in volleyball,” said Rob Graham, coach of Parker’s Ponderosa High School, the 2014 Continental League champion and Class 4A state finalist. “Most coaches will spend time and train offense and defense … but they don’t put their time into not only serving, but telling girls where to serve it. The importance of a good server is huge because when you have a girl that can serve short and deep, can serve a topspin and a floater, then we can do whatever that
will stretch the other team. “We make all of our kids jump serve. We think serving is that important. You can score so many more points than most people believe. It’s the quickest and easiest way to score a point. Serve a ball, get an ace and you didn’t have to do anything.” Jill Fitzpatrick said good serves helps her team remain competitive. She is the coach for The Academy, a Class 3A charter school in Westminster. “The most important battle in volleyball is the serve-serve-receive game,” she said. “No matter what level you play, from beginners all the way to Olympians, you must win that battle to come out on top. At times, we play teams that are taller or run a quick offense, but we are able to remain competitive because our serving game is so strong.” A player who is effective with a variety of serves gives a coach options. “I like the floater,” said Ponderosa senior Camille Smith. “It is easier than the topspin. Up-close serves I’m not very good at, but the deep ones I’m OK.” Alexa Buis, a senior at The Acade-
Jump serve — This serve utilizes a high toss that should be several feet in front of the server. The servers use more of an attack approach, jumping and then striking the ball in the air. The extra motion allows the server to put more power on the ball, and this can make it a hard serve to handle. The drawback is the extra motion can force a higher incidence of errors. Most jump serves have topspin, but it’s possible to jumpserve a floater.
my, set a school record and led Class 3A with 77 aces last season. She has an effective, powerful jump-float serve. “It’s taken me three or four years to become the server I am,” said the 5-foot-6 Buis. “Having a good service game helps the team out. I like to go deep. ... I don’t feel any pressure. I just go back, calm myself down and tell myself to get the ball in play and go from there.”
Talented keepers give teams a shot High school soccer squads put a lot of faith in the player guarding the goal

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Goalkeeper has evolved into a more dynamic position in today’s soccer. “The new modern goalkeeping — and I was a goalkeeper — the position has changed in the 20 years since I played,” said Adam Buseck, Heritage boys soccer coach. “It’s more athletic. You have to be able to use your feet and come farther out of the goal and be more a member of the team versus standing back there stopping shots. “For goalkeeping, you look for a lot of intangibles, things like being courageous, being calm under pressure, being able to deal with that pressure, somebody that is confident because there are a lot of decisions to make with the ball being played through or cross. One of the physical qualities you need is to have somebody that moves around.” Ralston Valley coach Kyle Kazemi echoed Buseck’s thoughts about how the responsibilities of a keeper have advanced. “It’s very different,” said Kazemi. “You have to have someone who can play at their feet. You don’t see a kid anymore like that big bull of a kid who will just pick up the ball and knock it 80 yards down the field. They have to be a great shot stopper but they have to be able to keep it for you.” So what goes into making a stellar
stopper in the modern game? Ponderosa coach Jim Engels said the development of a good keeper starts at an early age with plenty of training. “It just takes a lot of goalkeeper training at a young age,” he said. “It takes a lot of training at camps, one-on-one training with goalkeeper coaches. Goalkeepers have to have some athletic ability and some height helps. And you need leadership out of them for sure.” Having a strong feel for the game and all positions on the pitch is crucial, Buseck said. “You want a leader and somebody that is cerebral, who can see the field and understands the game and articulates that to his teammates,” Buseck said. The Heritage coach has a versatile keeper in junior Jack Schulze, who split time last season in goal and also played basketball and lacrosse. Schulze, who has a 0.89 prep career goals against average, plays some as a defender during club soccer. Schulze has played soccer since age 4. He enjoyed playing multiple posi-
tions, before focusing on keeper when he was 11. “Playing in the field definitely got my agility up,” Schulze said. “Just knowing how defenders feel about what they’re doing and how I can help them. I can tell them what to do because I’ve played the position before.” Arapahoe senior keeper James Conley was an All-Centennial League selection last season with a 1.3 goals-against average and 8.9 saves a game. He said he started out as a quiet freshman but learned over the years how important it is to communicate with other players. There’s something special about playing the position, he said, and he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. “Goalkeeper is kind of a unique thing,” he said, “and I’ve always felt such a love for that position.” With great passion comes great responsibility. Keepers know all eyes are on them when a shot is kicked their way. “The pressure of being a goalie is knowing that if everything fails, you’re the last person to be there,” Schulze said. “Then it’s all on you. If you fail, then the whole team looks at you.”
SOCCER TEAMS AT A GLANCE Legend Titans Coach - Jordan Ivey 2014 record - 11-5-1 (7-2-1) League - Continental Players to Watch - Logan Rudig, Sr., G; Dana Smith, Sr., F; Caleb Vik, Sr., CM; Eric Peter, Jr., MC (6 goals, 1 assist). 2015 Outlook - Titans return a good portion of last season’s starting lineup. “We are excited about the possibilities this season has in store,” said Ivey. “Some of the younger players have had a lot of growth over this past spring and we are looking to them to step in and fill some of the roles left open by graduating seniors.”
Players of Watch - Tommy Green, Sr. (12 goals, 30 points); Riley Wambach, Sr. D; Parker Klein, Jr., MF; Jacob Kade, Jr., D. 2015 Outlook - Mustangs are a Class 4A team playing in the Continental League against 5A teams, but have held their own in the state tournament, making the state semifinals last season. “We have a very young team,” said Engels. “We have only four seniors and two freshman goalies. We’re young but we’re going to be good. We’re not as talented as last year but good enough to get to the quarterfinals or semifinals.” Lutheran Lions

For many, two hands are better than one Doubling up on a backhanded return is today’s power play in tennis
The following are returning boys tennis players from the south metro area who qualified for the state tennis tournament in 2014:
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Take a glance at a typical high school tennis match, and it quickly becomes evident the one-handed backhand is a disappearing stroke. The two-handed backhand is commonly used and is more popular because players can generate more power on groundstrokes and hit shots in a variety of directions. “I had one player in eight years that could hit a one-handed backhand,” said Valor Christian boys coach Bill Epping. “The kids are taught early on to hit with two hands since they aren’t strong enough to hit with one.” Mountain Vista, however, has two players this year who hit a one-handed backhand in juniors Ben Antonsen and Ian Seetors. “The one-handed backhand does give you a better reach to the ball,” said Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan. “However, it does make it so at the point of contact you have to be more precise. That’s why people switch to the two-hander. “It’s a preference. The thing about the two-hander is people can generate more spin probably and things like that. You can also be later at the point of contact and make up for it with your extra hand. That’s the advantage of a two-hander.” Seetors, who has played many sports and started playing tennis three years ago, said he’s tried both strokes, but the one-handed return feels better to him. “I looked at the two-hander and that had more power, but if you have placement and versatility with the one-handed, why would you need the two-hander?” he said. Cherry Creek coach Art Quinn had one player who graduated off last year’s team s who employed a one-handed backhand but no players this season. “The prevailing trend if you took the top

Both players gravitate to two-handed backhand shots but do hit one-handed backhanded slices once in a while. “I generally hit more two-handers because it’s more stable and you can get more control,” said Hudson. “The one-hander is a little bit better if you are on the run and you reach out and hit a one-hander. You can reach a lot farther with one hand.” Hoelscher attempts one-handed backhand shots but nothing “real serious.” “I just like my left hand for extra support,” he said. “I guess that’s the only reason. I don’t see many players hitting one-handed backhands.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUG. 17, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A previous misunderstanding continues to taint the atmosphere to some extent in the early part of the week. But cooler heads prevail, and the situation eases by week’s end. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) While the artistic aspect of the Divine Bovine is well-served this week, that practical side is also getting the sort of recognition that could lead to a new and welldeserved opportunity. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) With home-related matters taking on more importance this week, now could be the time to make some long-deferred purchases. But shop carefully for the best quality at the best price. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulations. While that family problem might still rankle, it should be easing thanks to your efforts to calm the waters. Also, a workplace situation seems to be moving in your favor. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat’s energy levels should be rather high these days, and you might do well to tackle any tasks that still need doing. This will clear the way for those upcoming projects. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone’s criticism might not be as negative as you perceive. Actually, it could be helpful.

Mountain bike series wraps up Race the MAC in Castle Rock ends series with fifth event
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com Racers packed the Miller Activities Center — or MAC — in Castle Rock the evening of Aug. 12 as the fifth and final event in the Race the MAC mountain bike series took to the trail. Organizer Kyle Sipes said he couldn’t be happier with the inaugural season’s success. “This kind of racing is built for everyone,” he said, as racers began riding their bikes in from the parking lot. “The course is generous enough for beginners — we have some youth as young as 8 years old coming out — all
the way to ones that compete at a high level at 17. It’s a grassroots racing series, so it’s meant for everybody.” But the course was by no means easy. It stretched approximately 6.2 miles with a little more than 700 feet of climbing. Classes at the series ranged from open pro to youth, and the Aug. 12 event also featured a push bike race for children who can’t pedal yet. Moving forward, Sipes hopes to grow the series. “In future years, when the amphitheater is done, we’ll be able to utilize that and incorporate concerts,” he said. “This is an adventure playground for everybody, and so that’s why we wanted to harness in a mountain bike race, because it’s got the perfect backdrop.”
Justin Paulsen, of Littleton, finished the sport class race sixth overall and first in his age division. Photos by Shanna Fortier Isabella Brevoort, 4, makes her rounds during the kids push bike race.
Shawn Meredith, of Denver, finished fourth overall in the open class at Race the Mac.
