Academy helps police build trust 10-week course includes aspects of officers’ work By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com

The Lone Tree Police Department has been progressive in its approach to working with the community. In 2013, the department became the first in the state to equip all its officers with body cameras. With its Citizens Academy, the department hopes to continue that tradition of innovation. “The whole point of the academy is to build the partnership

between the public and the police,” said Officer Jason Rogers, who is in charge of the program. “We want to give people a look behind the scenes at what our job is like on a daily basis.” The academy is a 10-week course that begins on Sept. 3. Applications are due by Aug. 28. The course is free, but participants must be 18 years old or older and pass a background check. Most of the academy sessions meet from 6-9 p.m. on Thursdays. But there are also three Saturday “field trips” that include a trip to a firing range, a day on the driving track, and a mock crime scene investigation. According to Rogers, the mock crime scene is the favorite part of the academy experience

for many participants. “You would think people would be most excited to shoot the guns, but I think the thing they got the most out of is the crime scene day,” Rogers said. “It gives them that `CSI’ experience from TV.” Questions are encouraged at each session, and officers will provide presentations on many different aspects of policing. “In the spring we got a lot of questions about the situations in Ferguson and Baltimore, and a lot of the stuff that’s been in the news,” Rogers said. Lone Tree Police purchased 45 Taser Axon body cameras for $28,000 in 2013, and every officer wears one during his or her Academy continues on Page 11

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 unanimously. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has weighed in with support for the ordinance. “There’s always something new — everything is always emerging,” said Sgt. Lori Bronner, of the Douglas County Sherriff’s Office. “You can’t just call it e-cigs, so the wording is in (the ordinance) to cover any other products that will be created to burn or consume illegal items.” One concern is that not just tobacco can be used in these products, but also marijuana or hash oil and forms of narcotics. 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. Using e-cigarettes and vaping are 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 E-Cigs continues on Page 11

Trucks pack firefighting punch Centennial Airport helps secure new vehicles for South Metro Fire 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 militaryFire truck continues on Page 12

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

Kim Waller, a math teacher at Cimarron Middle School in Parker, hopes to bring the lessons she learned at space camp back to her classroom. Hector Diaz, a science teacher from Cimarron Middle School in Parker, wears his flight suit to class in order to spark a conversation about space with his students. Photos by Mike DiFerdinando 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?”

Discover Lone Tree to celebrate city Labor Day weekend event includes ’80s night, concerts

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Now in its second year, the city’s Discover Lone Tree event has become a full weekend celebration. The Labor Day weekend extravaganza includes an ’80s night at the Lone Tree Arts Center, free golf lessons and a concert in Sweetwater Park. “We had all these separate events all happening very close to each other and we said, ‘Let’s do a full weekend,’” said Katie Maltais, marketing director for the Lone Tree Arts Center. “It’s a weekend where people have the Monday off, and it’s a good time to celebrate the end of summer.” According to Maltais, the city wanted to create a unique weekend that celebrates the city. “We’re falling into the 20th anniversary of the city’s founding and we thought, ‘Let’s make sure all of the residents of Lone Tree can see what Lone Tree has to offer.’”

the theater. “You can change the lights on the stage and see the light board. You can see the rigging and how things fly in and out. You can go down to the dressing room and see all of the signatures of all of the people who have performed here, like Judy Collins,” Maltais said. “It will be great for kids and families as a way to introduce them to the backstage side of theater rather than just seeing a show.” The Lone Tree Golf Club will be putting on a free clinic from 2-4 p.m. In addition, they will have discounted rates to play nine holes of golf after 4 p.m., with kids playing free.

Sept. 5 events A Taste of Lone Tree, which is technically a separate event hosted by the chamber of commerce, will take place Sept. 5 at Lincoln Commons from 1-7 p.m. As part of the Discover Lone Tree weekend, the city will host a Saturday open house at the Lone Tree Arts Center. The event will run from 1-4 p.m. and will include a scavenger hunt that will give people a chance to explore the backstage area of

Sept. 6 events On Sept. 6, historic Schweiger Ranch, located on the east side of RidgeGate, will offer a free guided tour with the caretaker of the property from 1-3 p.m. It all ends with the Sunday-evening summer concert in Sweetwater Park beginning at 6 p.m. There will be kids’ crafts, music and food trucks. Bluegrass band White Water Ramble will perform beginning at 7 p.m.

‘It’s a weekend where people have the Monday off and it’s a good time to celebrate the end of summer.’ Katie Maltais, Marketing director for the Lone Tree Arts Center Sept. 4 events The weekend kicks off Sept. 4 with a Friday-evening ’80s night at the Lone Tree Arts Center. The event will be outside on the Terrace Theater and the ’80s band Boogie Machine is going to play a set. Following the band’s performance, the movie “Back to the Future” will play. The cost of the evening is $10 and tickets will be limited to 350, so those interested in attending are encouraged to buy tickets from the Lone Tree Arts Center website

Arts center gala to launch season Evening includes food, drinks, show, dancing

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com This year’s opening night at the Lone Tree Arts Center will be celebrated with a gala event that organizers hope will raise a record amount of money for the theater. The gala will take place Sept. 26 in conjunction with the first performance of the year, “Motown 2 Jersey.” The evening will be put on by the Lone Tree Arts Center Guild. The guild serves as both a fundraising and advocacy organi-

zation for LTAC and is particularly known for its work bringing children from lowincome schools to the theater. “We had a grand opening gala five years ago, so we wanted to continue in that tradition and have it be a fundraiser,” said gala chairwoman Gayle Spelts. “With this thing we’re really stepping up our ability to fundraise. We could net $10,000 in this one night alone, which would be a big step up for us. We’re hoping that some of the big businesses in Lone Tree will buy a table.” In the past the guild has made donations of $5,000 for the theater’s refreshment stand, $2,500 for a live Christmas tree and $2,500 to sponsor local school-

children. Prior to the performance, attendees will enjoy cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres. Guests will then take in the show, which highlights music of the 1960s with Denver favorites The Motones and The Jerseys. After the performance, guests will dance the night away at the after-party, complete with dessert and champagne. The show’s cast will join the gala for dessert. “We have had both The Motones and The Jerseys on our stages in the past and each one sold out,” said LTAC Executive Director Lisa Rigsby Peterson. “Our patrons let us know that these concerts were so great, they wanted to see them again.

Family Owned, Family Run

Having the Motones and the Jerseys together on the same stage will be double the fun.” The show brings the best of Motown with hits from the Jackson 5, the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder and The Temptations, among others, battling out against the doo-wop-style Jerseys with tight harmonies reminiscent of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Tickets for the evening will be $150 per person. You can reserve a table of 10 for $2,000. Tickets can be purchased at lonetreeartscenter.org. Reserved tables of 10 are available for corporate sponsors by calling Cathie Brunnick at 303-909-7939.

Two students diagnosed with meningitis No additional cases reported at Mountain Vista as of Aug. 18

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.

touched surfaces.

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

Some symptoms: Fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea. How it spreads: Close contact

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.

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.

Animals seek 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 bearproof container. • Keep your garage door closed. • 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.

A Taste of Lone Tree adds more family fun More than 25 local food vendors will be on hand By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Now in its eighth year, A Taste of Lone Tree will serve up food from more than 25 local restaurants in addition to wine and beer samplings from four local distributors. Restaurants taking part in A Taste of Lone Tree include Southern Hospitality, Seasons 52, Brio and La Sandia, among others. The event will run from 1-7 p.m. Sept. 5 in the Lincoln Com-

mons area. It is the first year that the Taste will be a single-day event and coincide with the city’s Discover Lone Tree weekend. “This year we partnered with Discover Lone Tree because we thought it would be a perfect fit,” said Mary Martin, president of the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “With the family-oriented, fun variety of entertainment and activities slated for the entire Labor Day weekend, A Taste of Lone Tree is the perfect fit for Saturday.” While most of the Discover Lone Tree events will be held elsewhere, Taste organizers decided to keep the food-centric bash at the Lincoln Commons

area due to its visibility from Lincoln Avenue and its proximity to a busy retail hub within Lone Tree. There will be two stages at this year’s event, a main stage and a children’s stage. The children’s area will have face painting, a soaring bubble tower and a “Cars”-themed bounce house. There will also be a variety of strolling performers and musical entertainment geared toward the younger set. On the main stage, there will be a special performance by a string quartet from the Lone Tree Symphony, as well as music by Dan Treanor’s Afrosippi Band, which features Erica Brown.

There will be plenty of shaded seating near the stages and throughout the event. Discounted tickets to A Taste of Lone Tree can be purchased via Eventbrite.com (type in “A Taste of Lone Tree”). Through Aug. 31, adult tickets are $20; tickets for children 16 and under are $10. Tickets at the gate will be $25 for adults, and $12 children for children 16 and under; children under 5 are free. Admission for seniors and military veterans is $20. Tickets allow entry for the entire day. Water and other beverages are included with the one-time entry fee.

Growing STEM school starts year strong Highlands Ranch charter has highest enrollment yet

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com School was back in session for STEM School and Academy on Aug. 11, and with its largest enrollment yet. As classes began at the Highlands Ranch school that morning, 1,346 students scattered the halls to find their engineering lab, coding class and music room for first period. This year, the Douglas County charter school added a fifth-grade class and 34 staff members, and doubled in space with 65,000 square feet to “play” with. The school has made numerous strides since its inception in fall of 2011. Penny Eucker, STEM’s executive director, will be honored by the Denver Business Journal as an Outstanding Woman in Business. But that’s not what it’s about to her. She considers herself the “mother of the school,” she said. “After STEM’s first year, they had a public grade of F and were struggling financially, and that doesn’t happen in Douglas County,” Eucker said. “I started in the fall of 2012, and the school district came to me to tell me they were closing the school. I said, ‘We’ll see.’” Thanks to teacher leadership, within a year, everything turned around and the public grade rating that is based on state scores skyrocketed to an A, she said. “We’re one of the strongest charter schools in the nation and best STEM schools in Colorado,” Eucker said. With the opening of the 2015-16 school year, staff saw 400 new faces, which is a 40 percent enrollment growth, and with the addition of a new grade, more possibilities are popping up. Eucker said the school, which is now fifth through 12th grade, is seeking an expansion in hopes of opening an elementary for children in kindergarten up

Penny Eucker, STEM School and Academy’s executive director, checks in on a new ﬁfthgrade class on the third day of school, Aug. 12. The grade level was added last spring after approval from the Douglas County Board of Education. Eucker said the school and academy is waiting on approval for the addition of an elementary for students in kindergarten up to ﬁfth grade. Photo by Taryn Walker to fifth grade for 2016. She said STEM is just waiting for approval by the Douglas County School Board in early September. “There’s a huge interest for this. Kindergarteners will be able to work with 3D programs and coding. There’s no limit here,” she said. The new space acquired next to STEM will be used for K-5 and includes four classrooms for each grade level. Also in the building will be a lunchroom, music room, art studio and three engineering labs. Outside are more than 500 parking spaces and grounds for a future field house for problem-based learning. Also growing is the school’s arts programs. Chinese, French and Spanish classes are offered, as well as art and music — something not too many people think about when they hear “STEM.” Students at the school and academy

are artists by nature, Eucker said. “They have great interest in performing arts and painting and drawing — it really feeds their creative expression. The arts are important here because we want to develop the whole child. Social studies and language arts rule this school. I’ll tell parents their children will go home exhausted and energized from all of the cognitive skills they learn,” she said. In fact, last year a sixth-grader won best in show at a state art competition and was presented $250 from Gov. John Hickenlooper. The student donated the money to his teacher to buy more art supplies, Eucker said. On a tour of the school, artists were seen wedging clay for the kiln — they like getting their hands dirty, their teacher said. Other high schoolers were counting “one, two and three” and listening to a lecture on rhythm and patterns from mu-

sic production teacher Gregg Cannady. However, kids at STEM are still pretty fired up over math and science, Eucker said. When stopping by an energetic algebra class filled with sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders, their faces were lit up by the light of electronic devices. Apparently, the school has a BYOD “bring your own device” policy to enrich technological learning. “It’s really fun here. I like it. The teachers are cooperative and you learn games that make math fun,” eighth-grader Kai Persoff said about his second year at STEM. Students in one engineering lab were printing 3D prototypes of spaceship parts to learn additive printing. “We can make custom parts here. Whether it’s wheels for TSA (Transportation Security Administration) or underwater propellers, this new printer can print any object,” junior Licia Lamb said. STEM, at 8773 S. Ridgeline Blvd., gives public tours every Wednesday at 10 a.m. with no reservation needed, so parents, children, media and anyone else who wants to see what’s happening at the school are all welcome, Eucker said. “We see children who are frustrated or bored with their current public school and we want to help them. There’s a tremendous need for STEM schools to prepare the future workforce. We go so far beyond Common Core and give our students a choice,” Eucker said. “So many kids in college go into engineering and feel behind and that’s tragic,” she continued. “Students today are not the students of the past — they’re techsavvy, want to work quickly and work in social clusters. That’s how things are becoming in the workforce. We have kids who are only sophomores and graduating with their associate’s degrees now.” As this year’s deadline for registering new students was in January, those interested in enrolling their children will be put on a waiting list available at http:// www.stemhigh.org/admissions.

Music br idges age gap

Eagle Scout project brings concert to Wind Crest

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista High School junior Riley Barry has always been inspired by music. That’s why it was easy for him to decide what his Eagle Scout project would be. It took a couple of months, but he was able to organize a band concert for residents of the Wind Crest retirement community on Aug. 11. Not only did Barry organize the event — he conducted volunteer musicians through several arrangements for his first time. “My project was basically inspired by how much I enjoy music and performing. Music is important because it brings life to everything around you,” Barry said. With an audience of up to 500 people in the Fireside Lounge at Cottonwood Court, Barry, who was wearing his Boy Scout uniform, waved his hands through the air to direct music from “The Jetsons” and “The Pink Panther.” He said he chose “Danny Boy” to be performed in dedication to his grandma Marge Barry, who lives at Wind Crest. “I was extremely nervous when I was conducting. I felt like I looked weird. I don’t think I’ll be trying out for drum major, I’ll leave that up to my friends,” Barry said about his first time conducting. As a member of the MVHS band, the future Eagle Scout plays trumpet and tuba and has been a musician since sixth grade. In fact, some of his former wind ensemble classmates volunteered to perform in the concert at Wind Crest, despite the fact they’ve moved on and are now freshmen in college, Barry said. The coolest part — Barry’s high school band director Darren DeLaup let volunteers borrow instruments, including brass, woodwind and percussion, to help make the concert happen, he said. The group of 20 or so musicians rehearsed twice a week since mid-July, and the most stressful part was worrying if they’d all show for the final concert, Barry said. “I wouldn’t have been able to do this all without my family and MVHS staff, who let me borrow the band room for rehearsal. Everyone was so supportive of something I was doing outside of school,” he said. Barry has been scouting since first grade, when he started out as a Tiger Cub. His dad, John, was always set on him joining and riding it out to the end, he said. Although he still has three merit badges to earn, including citizenship in

Riley Barry, a Mountain Vista High School junior, conducts his first concert at Wind Crest on Aug. 11 for his Eagle Scout project. Photos by Taryn Walker the community, personal management and emergency preparedness, before he goes through an interview with the board of review to receive his award, Barry said he’s proud of himself for sticking with it. “The Eagle Scout project takes an extremely large amount of your time to get everything coordinated, but it definitely pays off in the end,” he said. He chose Wind Crest, saying his goal was to bridge a gap between older and younger generations and dedicate something to his grandmother. “Making all of the connections I made was very encouraging. You have to know there are going to be a lot of challenges coming your way, and that you have to work around them. The goal is to figure out a way to keep on moving forward, to put your best work forward,” Barry said. As a member of the Triumph Honor Program, which is like National Honor Society for band members, he said he’s glad he can contribute to music to encourage other generations to keep the arts alive, he said.

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 11

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 for anyone — youth or adult — to use an ecigarette on school property in Colorado.

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 m help them quit smoking, the biggest appeal to his customers is for big flavor and big clouds of vapor, which can be achieved by custombuilding a device.

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 cigarettes,” 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, 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.

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.

If it passes, the ordinance against possession of cigarettes and tobacco products by minors will include e-cigarettes, vaporizers, hookahs and other emerging products.

style Unimog that was one of few vehicles at South Metro’s disposal for aircraft disaster response. It was kept at station 44 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. The people on hand also performed a blessing on the new vehicles and watched the “wet-down” ceremony, including airport director Robert Olislagers, who said it was his first time witnessing the spectacle in his 30 years on the job.

S2 Colorado may ban ‘candy’ name on marijuana treats

Lone Tree Voice 13

August 20, 2015

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 requiring 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 stop-sign 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 attractive 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, DLongmont. “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 stopsign 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.”

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 admitted 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.

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.

Castle Rock Town Band goes back for inspiration

information on the website: castlerockband.org. When Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show was on its annual tour 118 years ago, it set out by train from Omaha, Nebraska, with 500 performers, stagehands and musicians. The show included trick riding, sharpshooting and a troupe of Native Americans, presented as curiosities — all set to band music. The Cowboy Band was led from 1883 to 1913 by William Sweeney on cornet. He wrote the majority of the music and wrote all the arrangements. The band also played concerts in towns across America to generate interest in the Wild West Show.

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 photo

“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, 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 show 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.

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 others in his time.

“An Allegory in Honor of the Duchess of Mantua,” early to mid-1650s, oil paint on paper. Symbols of worldly activity: globe, musical instruments, hunting dog with dead hare. This drawing, done with a boar’s bristle brush and oil paint, as well as a related painting, probably mark the birth of the son of the Duke of Mantua, Carlo II Gonzaga, who was a patron. It is interpreted as an allegorical lecture on the limits of temporal power, and appropriate for the little prince’s education. Royal Collections Trust. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, 2015.

Courtesy photos “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 ac-

• 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. He could pull one print only — and perhaps a “ghost” second print.

quired about 100 years after Castiglione’s 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.

Littleton’s biggest ‘Birthday Bash’

Staff report The 87th Western Welcome Week Festival Day went off without the proverbial hitch in downtown Littleton on Aug. 15, although one horse wasn’t so lucky. New this year, C Cross Farriers brought Riley, one of only 32 Blue Roan Percherons in the United States, to the east end of Main Street for a giant pedicure. The crew painstakingly cleaned and filed the hooves of the 17-hand horse while firing up new horseshoes for her, drawing a steady crowd of onlookers. The Grand Parade, this year themed “Birthday Bash,” was well attended, despite ultra-warm weather. Grand Marshal Maurice “Stringy” Ervin made his way down Main Street in a horse-drawn wagon with his wife, son, daughter and four grandkids. Visitors lingered well into the afternoon to peruse crafts like jewelry, woodwork and yard art. They enjoyed perennial favorites like steak on a stick, corn on the cob, funnel cakes and lemonade, and perhaps a cold brew from the Optimists Club. Politicians in Reinke Bros. parking lot had plenty of chances to kiss babies in the adjoining kids’ play area, complete with bouncy house and paddleboats.

exhibited at the Curtis Arts and

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 Santisevan. 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

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.

“City Blues,” a large painting by Carlos Fresquez, is just to the left of the entrance to Curtis Arts and Humanities center in the exhibit “Los Tres Revisited-NOW.”

Proceeds benefit the Douglas County Sheriff’s YESS program and youth

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 law enforcement statistics. 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 chang-

ing 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, evidencebased education and do everything we can to keep Douglas County youth safe.” Rotary Youth programs 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 11thgrade 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 Rotary Club of Castle Pines. “All three play a part in what we do and why we’re doing this event. It’s fun and family friendly, and we just wanted to have a good time.”

Affordable Arts Festival returns at Littleton site

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com 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.

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

A VARIETY OF SERVES Types of volleyball serves, according to volleyball. about.com and other sources: 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. 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. 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 jump-serve a floater.

Talented keepers give teams a shot SOCCER TEAMS AT A GLANCE

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 Soccer continues on Page 27

2015 OUTLOOK - Jaguars face a transition season after two campaigns of senior-dominated teams that saw 35 players graduate. “Success will be found for the squad if this young talent can adapt quickly to the speed of play of the varsity game,” said Sassali.

2015 OUTLOOK - Hawks know what kind of competition they will be facing this season. “I’m really looking forward to this season with our returning seniors in our second year in the Metro League,” said Martin.

COACH - Chris Smith

2015 OUTLOOK - Golden Eagles graduated big senior classes the past two years so many of the returning upper-class players lack varsity experience. “It might takes us a while to hit our stride,” said Echtermeyer. “It’s exciting to get new players and see how they jell with the returning players.”

ThunderRidge Grizzlies

2015 OUTLOOK - ThunderRidge will be rebuilding with just five seniors. “We will be young and will try to stay in the hunt for the playoffs,” said Smith. “We have a first-time varsity starter in goal in Shane Felde and a few others that will hopefully give us a shot at making the playoffs for the fifth time in six years.”

Valor Christian Eagles COACH - Brian Shultz 2014 RECORD - 4-10-1 (2-7-0)

2015 OUTLOOK - Eagles missed the playoffs for the first time in five season in 2014 and are looking for a strong comeback in 2015. “With a very battletested starting lineup of mostly juniors and seniors, look for Valor to finish in the top third of the always tough 4A Jeffco League,” said Schultz. “The minding of the nets will by the X-factor as it will likely be filled with a brand new goalkeeper.”

For many, two hands are better than one Doubling up on a backhanded return is today’s power play in tennis

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Take a glance at a typical high school tennis match, and it quickly becomes evident the onehanded 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 twohander. “It’s a preference. The thing about the twohander 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 twohander.”

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 easi-

LEARN TO ROCK

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 who employed a one-handed backhand but no players this season. “The prevailing trend if you took the top 100 players in the world, you are going to get about 75 out of a 100 guys with two-handed backhands,” Quinn said. “The main benefits of the two-hander would be more options and more options of strength.” Juniors Tom Hudson and Sam Hoelscher of D’Evelyn were state singles qualifiers last season. 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.”

est 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 Academy,

ThunderRidge - Josh Bean, Andy Chen Valor Christian - Dylan Pott, B. Jaye Johnson, Bray Polkinghorne

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.”

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.”

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 positions, 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 goalsagainst 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.”

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. Discuss the matter with your critic, and you both could learn something valuable. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A business matter could cause some friction among your colleagues. But once again, that logical mind of yours comes to the rescue. And the sooner it does, the better! SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There might still be some heated temper flare-ups out there. But your sensible self should advise you to stay out of these situations until things cool down and calm is restored. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Changing your mind could be the right thing to do if you can’t resolve your doubts. You might want to discuss the matter with someone whose advice you trust.

Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The Sea Goat’s merrier side dominates this week, and this means that, despite your usual busy schedule, you’ll be able to squeeze in parties and all sorts of fabulous fun times. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An educational opportunity could lead to something other than what you had planned. But keep an open mind, and before you decide to turn it down, check it out. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Piscean wit and wisdom helps you work through a situation that might have been accidentally or even deliberately obscured. What you unravel could prove to be very revealing. BORN THIS WEEK: Loyalty is important to you. You demand it, but you also give it generously and lovingly. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

‘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

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.

no particular order, a hotel coffee table, a 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.
