Renaissance Festival holds auditions for summer Festival recreates 16th century England

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Auditions for the 2017 Colorado Renaissance Festival will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 9 at 409 S. Wilcox St. in Castle Rock.

The Renaissance Festival, held in Larkspur, runs for eight weekends in June and July. The event is set in 16th century England and showcases both fantasy and historically-inspired characters, said John Bryan, the casting director who is also the actor playing Good King Henry.

Auditions on April 9 will be for characters in the King’s Court and other villagers. The actors are those who walk the streets and interact with attendees. This year’s auditions, which are not capping the number of open roles, will look for a fresh approach from actors.

“We’re just always looking for people who have new ideas, new character ideas,” Bryan said.

Other acts include horseback jousting, live music and a hypnotist. Village buildings, food, costuming and music are all inspired by the 16th century setting, creating “a chance to just get away from now,” Bryan said.

To set up an audition appointment, contact John Bryan at 2JABryan@gmail.com. For more information on the festival, visit www.coloradorenaissance.com.

The 2017 festival dates are: June 10-11, June 17-18, June 24-25 and July 1-2, July 8-9, July 15-16, July 22-23, July 29-30.

NEWS IN A HURRY Attend a 45-year local ice skating tradition Support 150 local youth skaters in their annual ice show, Showtime on Ice, at the South Suburban Ice Rink in Centennial on April 28-30.

This year’s production is “Tales as Old as Time,” a production including highlights from “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Grease.”

Nationally and internationally acclaimed guest skaters Starr Andrews, Ryan Bradley and Max Aaron will have a guest appearance.

Tickets and more information are available at showtimeonice.com. General admission is $10 a seat.

Renew registration at kiosk Arapahoe County residents can now renew their vehicle registration at a self-service kiosk instead of going to a Department of Motor Vehicles branch.

Arapahoe is the first county in the state to launch Colorado MVExpress kiosks under a pilot program. Fifteen other counties will add the kiosks later this year.

The blue-and-yellow machines look similar to ATM machines and are available at four locations, including Arapahoe County’s Clerk and Recorder branch offices in Centennial, Littleton and Aurora during office hours, 7 a.m.-4 p.m.

Monday-Friday, as well as the AAA Southglenn Office, open 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Saturday.

To use the kiosk, a resident can scan the barcode on the registration renewal postcard or type in their license plate number. Taxes and fees are paid through cash, check, credit or debit card.

The kiosk can print a receipt, registration and license plate tabs on the spot.

Citizens who prefer to skip a trip to the DMV can renew their license plates by mail or online at www.colorado.gov/renewplates. For more

Get your head in the game

Centennial coach trains more than physical ability

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sports are not solely reliant on athletic ability.

That’s what Sterling Joseph believes.

Owner of Sterling’s Team Speed and a coach for more than 20 years, he trains his athletes in a different way.

“Physically, we do the same thing as every other training center,” Joseph said. “A lot of places train from the shoulder down. But, with me, I train from the shoulder down and from the shoulder up. A lot of my kids who come out of here will leave with confidence.

They believe they can take on the world.”

Joseph, along with six other coaches, trains kids starting at the age of nine and ending at the collegiate level. The goal is improvement, regardless of the athlete’s level.

“Our primary focus is development,” said Kira Schueppert, Sterling Team Speed’s business manager. “We have some of the top kids in their club or in their sport and we have kids who want to go from the four team to the three team.”

At Sterling’s Team Speed, all levels are welcome. Joseph said he is just as proud of his kids advancing from a four team to a three team as he is his more accomplished players. Mallory Pugh, a member of the United States Women’s National Soccer Team, is one

Sterling Joseph, owner of Sterling’s Team Speed, believes that training an athlete to be confident is one of the most important components of overall training and athletic improvement.

STEPHANIE MASON of Joseph’s athletes.

“I brag about all the kids I have, not just the top athletes,” Joseph said.

Joseph moved to Colorado from Louisiana after studying computer science in college. He slept in his car while trying to find work for the first few days. He started working an IT job while coaching part-time during those first few years here.

Eventually, Joseph decided to coaching full-time.

“It was the best decision I could have made,” Joseph said. “It was a natural

fit. There is not a day I am not happy coming to work. I am the luckiest person alive.”

Katie Marcheso, 22, trained with Joseph for 15 years. She was a soccer player who wanted to be at the top of her sport.

“I’ve seen other strength and conditioning coaches throughout my years and he is the best,” Marcheso said.

Marcheso now works for Joseph as a sports performance coach. She believes a great athlete has a strong mind. Leading by example, Marcheso said, has

been the best tool to teach the psychological aspect of sports.

“All sports are so mental,” Marcheso said. “I think people forget that it is a huge part of the game. We like to push our athletes harder. Having been through everything from the club to D1 level, I can share it all with the kids.”

Recently, Joseph moved his gym to a new location at 8170 S. University Blvd. in Centennial.

The new place has a sport recovery center, equipped with a cold tub and a hot tub, foam rollers and other recovery tools. It is also furnished with a cardio center, turf fitness area and a weight room.

Joseph initially assesses every kid that comes in for training. Every month, the kids are again tested to chart progress. If there is no improvement, the coaches make a new plan.

But, an athlete’s mind remains a priority. If kids start failing school, Joseph asks them not to return until their grades are improved.

“I want that well-rounded kid,” Joseph said. “It is not just training the body, but the mind as well.”

Above all, Joseph wants the athlete to leave his gym with confidence.

“At the end of the day, I think every kid deserves the opportunity to gain confidence,” Joseph said.

“We have some kids in our special performance program who are not athletes. This mom came in and told us that her kid needed confidence.

Now that kid is excelling and is thinking about going into a sport.”

‘People are going to get wet and dirty’ Horse rescue hosts fundraiser at Colorado Horse Park

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fundraising fun runs are nothing new, as participants in events like Muckfest and “Tough Mudder” competitions can attest. Obstacle courses are designed to test runners’ endurance and athleticism, usually involving a lot of dirt and sweat.

On April 22, the Colorado Horse Park will add a twist, challenging humans to take on obstacles, water jumps and terrain designed for horses.

“The idea is to get people of all ages out there to see the athleticism of horses, who have to traverse these obstacles, sometimes with a 150-pound person on their back,” said Andrea Mena, a volunteer with horse rescue Drifter’s Hearts of Hope.

The nonprofit horse rescue in Franktown is sponsoring its first “Run to the Rescue” at the equine park, featuring Denver Broncos cheerleaders, door prizes, yoga classes, vendors and a 5K all-ages run on the park’s equestrian racecourse.

The ranch began almost three years ago, when Parker resident Jean Kirshner brought her daughter to an Elbert County ranch to get to know Drifter, a horse rescued from a holding pen in Fort Collins by her friend Jacqui Avis. Drifter’s next stop would have been a slaughterhouse in Mexico.

Kirshner’s daughter Bella, who has cerebral palsy, began grooming and riding Drifter, mucking his stall and taking him to the veterinarian. She helped bring the horse back to health, and working with Drifter brought out a different side of her.

“This was the first time I saw Bella with a purpose,” Kirshner said.

Bella and her friends began baking horse treats and selling them to raise money for horse charities. Sitting in at one of the baking parties, Avis got the idea for her and the Kirshners to rescue horses on their own.

Three years later, Drifter’s Hearts of Hope has expanded to the King of Hearts Ranch in Franktown, buying horses, most on their way to slaughter, and rehabilitating them for adoption.

Jacqui Avis, left, and Andrea Mena lead a pair of four-legged friends on a walk at the Drifter’s Hearts of Hope ranch in Franktown. The nonprofit horse rescue will host a 5K fun run at the Colorado Horse Park at 8 a.m. on April 22 to raise funds and compete for a $25,000 grant PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

IF YOU GO Where: Colorado Horse Park, 7522 S. Pinery Drive, Parker 80134 When: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., April 22 Registration: Fee is $30 per participant, which includes a T-shirt and gift bag. Water will be provided throughout the course. Online registration: raceentry.com/races/ run-to-the-rescue/2017/register.

Information: Drifter’s Hearts of Hope website, driftersheartsofhope.org/run-to-the-rescue.html, or 303-521-5726 About 20 volunteers give their time at the ranch each week, watering, exercising and cleaning up after about 40 horses on any given day.

Avis estimates they adopted 80 horses last year — and it wasn’t cheap.

“It’s expensive to run this place,” Avis said. “Between feeding and vets and training, it adds up.”

Mena came up with the idea for the event as a way to compete for a $25,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Each year, the organization recognizes groups that generate community involvement for its annual “Help a Horse Day.” Avis said she hopes turnout is good enough for the ASPCA to take notice

Bella Kirshner and her friend Monty enjoy some time together at Drifter’s Hearts of Hope, a nonprofit horse rescue in Franktown. The group was founded by Kirshner’s parents and their friend Jacqui Avis shortly after Kirshner began caring for Drifter, a horse Avis rescued from slaughter in 2014.

— $25,000 buys a lot of hay.

So far, Mena said response from the community has been positive and she’s expecting a good turnout from the “horse hub” in the Parker area.

“The equine community in Parker is massive,” she said. “It’s such a worthwhile cause, that’s why I think people are responding.”

Avis and Mena are expecting between 150 to 200 people, most of whom will hopefully bring a change of clothes.

“People are going to get wet and dirty,” Avis said.

Jacqui Avis bridles a horse at King of Hearts Ranch in Franktown, home of the nonprofit horse rescue Drifter’s Hearts of Hope. Avis cofounded the organization in 2014 to save horses from being shipped to Mexico for slaughter.

Parker Pals offers support to locals with MS Group meets monthly at Arapahoe Community College

Parker Pals started meeting nearly 20 years ago to offer people with multiple sclerosis a chance to share their experiences and give each other support.

Just don’t call them a “support group.”

WHAT IS MS?

“A support group is led by a professional who gets paid,” says Kathie Spies, Parker Pals’ leader. “A self-help group is led by a volunteer, someone with MS.” The self-help group meets monthly at Arapahoe Community College in Parker to socialize, organize involvement in fundraisers like the annual MS Walk and provide informational workshops with medical providers.

Members share their expertise on symptom management, relationship and work-related issues, and other

Multiple sclerosis is a disease affecting the central nervous system, but symptoms vary from person to person, making it difficult to diagnose.

Most people affected by the disease are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50 years old, including 11,000 people in Colorado and Wyoming alone. One in 500 Coloradans has MS, and 73 percent of those diagnosed are women.

Bigfoot fans come to Colorado to make their case

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It may have been April Fools day but Bigfoot researchers who recently visited Castle Rock to display their evidence supporting the legendary creature’s existence weren’t kidding.

Bigfoot isn’t just real, they said. He’s out there — and in numbers.

About 80 people gathered at the First United Methodist Church in Castle Rock to hear the group’s case on April 1.

At the front of the sanctuary were two tables. One held mostly books about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, or however he may be known. The other offered more

tangible proof. Castings of purported Sasquatch footprints and knuckle impressions captivated audience members before presentations began.

When researchers took the stage, they walked the crowd through personal experiences and accounts of people they say come to them for help.

For one church member, Jason Frank, also a member of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, the journey began 10 years ago. Frank discovered a set of large, peculiar footprints while turkey hunting near Cripple Creek.

“I didn’t know what to do with it,” he told the crowd April 1. So he called a man from academia who he’d seen on TV.

Evidence of Sasquatch Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University, connected Frank with a Colorado researcher. Frank has since changed from a man hunting turkeys to a man hunting for clues about the elusive Bigfoot.

Frank and his fellow researchers take frequent and extended camping trips searching for Sasquatch, often in the Steamboat Springs area and throughout southern Colorado.

For Mark Taylor, also a Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization member, the work has largely consisted of helping a Pueblo family explain strange behavior in and around their ranch.

The activity has gone on for years, he told audience members. One ranch owner, who grew up on the ranch, told researchers she saw a Sasquatch on their land as a young girl. Today, her grandchildren say they sometimes see a large creature peering through the home’s windows at night.

Among other sightings, the family also finds large footprints along the river near their home.

Footprints are the key for Meldrum, whose research focuses on the evolution of bipedalism in early hominids and humans. More simply put, he studies how people evolved into two-legged walking creatures.

“When it comes to footprints, I’m an anatomist,” he said.

He looks for where toes are jointed and the show of movement throughout

a step in footprints. There’s a difference between tracks left by a living foot and a stiff wood foot, he said.

A faculty member at Idaho State since 1993, he fell into Sasquatch hunting in 1996 after discovering footprints in Washington measuring about 15 inches in length. There were skin ridge patterns in the mud. Pressure ridges, tension cracks and dragging were all consistent with live tracks, he said.

“These clearly weren’t made by somebody strapping on a pair of fake feet and stomping through the mud,” he said.

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”

Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer Denver - Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain?

Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake.

Sounds crazy?

Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life.

When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again.

Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state?

Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy. And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in

theory exercising should help knee arthritis.

But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee.

It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs.

Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes.

Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out.

You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either.

What’s the answer?

In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary.

With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated.

The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis.

But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid directly into your knee joint.

This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many ex-

help.

Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected.

Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.

perts believe it helps lubricate the joint.

Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain.

And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with less or no pain specific exercises can be a tremendous

That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain.

This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results.

So what is the HUGE mistake?

If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse.

And that’s the last thing you want to do.

What are the two “smart moves?”

If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic.

If you are thinking about giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technol-

ogy such as uoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections.

Research shows that without uoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work.

If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible.

So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse.

And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-of-the-art medical facility and uses advanced uoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work.

For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 303-952-4469.

Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

After thousands already helped knee pain sufferers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go.

If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now.

Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief.

Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program.

The Secret To Success?

The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy.

Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating.

This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment.

And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed.

What Is This Treatment?

This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA).

Those are big medical terms that basically means this...

When you have knee arthritis the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in

your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief

Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”

Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time.

But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors.

How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and

Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging

Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of Hologic digital imaging to guide the injection.

This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.

Where are you going?” Mike a told his son that it would be a a quick trip to Atlanta and he w would be back in a couple of days. Mike’s son came over to him and hugged him, told him he loved him, and that he would see him in a couple of days.

Now this may seem appropriate and very normal for many of us, and in my heart of hearts I hope that open displays of love and affection are more common for all of you than the rare exception.

But anyone who has raised children through the teenage years understands that sometimes they begin to move from wanting to hold hands and hugging to becoming a little less demonstrative in their love for us. It doesn’t mean that they don’t love us, it is usually just a phase that comes and goes for a few years. And when it comes back, the feeling is just so wonderful and amazing.

love and appreciate the strong bond and reconnection of affection as they mature.

The look on Mike’s face and tone in his voice told me how much he sincerely appreciated the hug his son had given him that night. And I have known Mike for several years, so I was very happy for him and enjoyed the story as if I was remembering the hugs from my own children the days when I would have to travel when they were younger.

How many times, though, do we have the best of intentions to stop long enough to hug our friends or families and let them know just how much we love them and appreciate them. A hug is so simple, yet so very powerful. And too many times in the rush and crush of life or in our selfcreated urgency we may sometimes just say a quick goodbye, or give them a see you later, maybe even just wave as we walk out the door.

I encourage you to stop and reflect the next time you are about to leave your home for a trip to the grocery store, headed out for work, or if you are leaving on vacation or a business trip and remember to just give those you love a hug, a kiss or a handshake.

Let them know how you sincerely feel about them, and just how much you appreciate them. I mean we all find a way to pet the dog on our way out, but

FCC rule mandated that internet service providers obtain consent from their customers before collecting certain categories of information.

Under the current rule personal information such as your web browsing history, geographic location, children’s information, social security numbers along with financial information and app usage history — all which fall under the “sensitive data” bracket — can be collected by your internet provider without your permission. A second category of information, called “less-sensitive data,” such as your name, address, IP address and anything else a consumer has not opted in to sharing with their ISP’s will now be subject to collection, since consumers won’t have an option to opt out of this information sharing.

This is a controversial subject for many reasons and for years the debate has gone on as to what ISP’s can and cannot do with this information. The ISP have argued that they should have the flexibility to collect this data because some of their competitors such as Google and Facebook, which are not ISPs, can collect this data and use it and sell it now.

It is my view that your internet activities are private. We live in a world that is ever more interconnected and I think that users should have the power to decide which information they want to share and which

do we take that same care and attention with our family?

Sadly, we hear the news where a tragedy had taken place — a car accident, a robbery gone wrong, or even terrorism. And the last thing we did was just simply wave goodbye or rush out the door. So to my fellow busy travelers and my fellow busy parents, and my fellow busy co-workers, associates, and partners, let’s make a commitment to our families and friends that when we part ways, for a brief visit to the grocery store or pharmacy, or when we leave on a business trip, that we will stop and share our love and appreciation for our friends and family, and we will rejoice when they return that same level of love and affection as we depart, just like my friend and business partner Mike experienced.

So how about you? Are you so busy, too busy, to stop and say a proper goodbye or goodnight? Or maybe pressed for time in the morning to say a proper good morning as we want to get on the road or check that all-important email? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can remember that our attention to our family and friends when we leave is just as important to them as it is painful for us when we leave, it really will be a better than good week.

they don’t. Just as you wouldn’t give a stranger your home address and financial information willingly, your ISP should not be able to obtain that same information without even asking.

This issue has the potential to go even beyond privacy rights, but also to include national security concerns since we will no longer control where our data ends up — or worse, who is buying or reviewing it. I understand the ISPs point that some of their competitors currently have obtained an advantage because they can obtain and use this data but I think the correct solution is not to empower the ISPs to gather and use this data but to impose the same privacy concerns and requirements upon these other internet based enterprises.

I believe the privacy of my constituents, and of other internet users, is an issue where the government needs to tread very carefully. I do not believe we should permit private corporations to take advantage of our information for their use and profit without your knowledge and consent. The right to privacy is embedded in the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and as a person who honors our founding principles, my vote on this resolution represents my reaffirmation in our Constitutional protections.

says. “For a young mom with kids at home, they see an 85-year-old who’s playing bridge and still being active and they think `I can do it.’”

McCarthy and Spies stress that the group’s spirit is being proactive and, just as importantly, active. They and other members stay fit with cycling, yoga, Tai Chi and regular exercise.

diagnosed with MS in 1995, but that doesn’t stop him from riding in the annual Bike MS fundraiser, a twoday 150-mile bicycle trek. He agrees that connecting to others with MS is vitally important for people with MS, but says new members often need a nudge to get them there.

“Someone who’s newly diagnosed or has chosen to suffer in silence, they really need encouragement from family members to join,” he says. “There’s a misconception that they’re pity parties. Our group is far from that.”

To anyone unsure about attending that first meeting, Spies offers a few words of encouragement.

“You’re not alone, we’re here to help you,” Spies says. “It’s a long MS journey, and you can get through it.”

Phidippides Track Club welcomes runners of all abilities to our weekly track workouts at Belleview Elementary next to Cherry Creek Park. The group

meets at 5:45 p.m. Tuesdays at the track, and running starts by 6 p.m. Workouts are usually 30-40 minutes and cover 3-4 miles of intervals with plenty of recovery time. For more information or to join, please go to http://www.phidippides.org/.

LIFE

Find the answers to life’s stress tests Stress is normal.

It’s how you handle it that’s important

Cori Barker, sitting, practices Thai massage on one of his instructors about two years ago when he was attending the Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy.

Barker, 32, worked for an engineering firm for four years after graduating from the Colorado School of Mines, but realized he wasn’t leading a healthy lifestyle — this prompted him to become a massage therapist, and he opened Reworks Massage (and Tech) on 16th Street Mall last fall.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

fter Cori Barker earned his degree from the Colorado School of Mines, he landed a job with an engineering firm.

He enjoyed the job, but the work was stressful, often finding it difficult to meet a client’s expectations. And his off time was filled with monotonous routine — a PB&J sandwich for a quick dinner, and some TV or video games to unwind a bit before bed.

Barker lived this way for four years — poor diet, lack of sleep and little exercise. Admittedly, he did not allow time for self-care.

“I didn’t have the maturity to value my personal health,” Barker, 32, said.

“But I couldn’t imagine a different lifestyle.”

The one thing he did do for himself, both as a student and engineering professional, was get a massage about once a year to help relax. And this is what led him to the path he is on today — a massage therapist living a content and mindful lifestyle.

Having some degree of stress is normal — and not all stress is bad, health experts agree. But too much stress can lead to common illnesses because of a compromised immune system or more serious diagnoses of anxiety or depression.

“Stressors can really knock us out of our normal routine,” said Tripti Sharma, a therapist who teaches a mental health first aid class at Community Reach Center, a nonprofit that provides mental health care and other health services at multiple sites throughout Adams County. “How you handle it is what’s important.”

Shannon Gwash, director of wellness programs and services for Jefferson Center for Mental Health, says the term “eustress” refers to what mental health experts consider positive, healthy stress. It can be thought of as a motivator because that kind of stress keeps people working toward a goal or pushes a person to excel.

Distress — the stress associated with being stressed out — is when life starts to become too overwhelming, Gwash said.

There is no definitive threshold between the two, Gwash said, because people have different triggers that can cause distress. However, to distinguish between the two, Gwash suggests asking this question: Are you progressing toward that goal, or are you falling behind because you’re taking on too much?

“It’s hard to take a step back,” Gwash said, “but it’s necessary.”

In addition, stress can be situational

COURTESY PHOTO

Mindfulness a key way to decompress

or chronic, Sharma said.

Situational can include a death in the family to a big test coming up.

Chronic stress is generally ongoing and long-term. For example, it could be environmental, such as living in an abusive home.

For most people, the best way to handle stress, Gwash said, is to recognize and acknowledge when you’re taking on too much.

“Everyone gets stressed out, but it’s not always because of the same things,” she said. “Be aware of what works for you. Sometimes, too busy is not good. It’s good for us to have downtime, and it’s good for us to have those healthy boundaries.”

MORE TIPS TO MANAGE STRESS Here are a few more tips to manage stress: • Stay connected to your social network. Allot time to spend with friends and loved ones.

• Ask for help when life becomes overwhelming. Seek advice from clinicians or others you trust.

• Maintain a positive outlook. Don’t get caught up by the negative effects of something that didn’t go exactly as planned.

• Help another person manage his stress.

• Make time to enjoy favorite leisure activi-

ties. Join a class or program offered through community resources, such as the library or rec center.

• Go outside — being outside allows a person to take in nature’s smells and calming sounds.

• Break things down into smaller, more manageable steps.

Denver Auto Show roars into downtown More than 500 new vehicles will be on display for car buffs

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“You’re welcome to sit in cars, pop the hoods, inspect the trunk and kick the tires,” said Tim Jackson, president and CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers.

At the Denver Auto Show, through 6 p.m. on April 9, you can admire

— in some cases, drive — and certainly dream at the Colorado Convention Center. More than 500 new vehicles of all kinds will be on display, including the popular Camp Jeep, which will be demonstrated on a rough course by professional drivers.

Drive new models in downtown Denver. Test-drive vehicles are provided by Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Mazda, Ram and Toyota (during daylight hours only).

Three dozen exhibiting manufacturers will be featured, as well as examples of the world’s most expensive vehicles: Aston Martin,

offers custom wheels and rims, vehicle wraps, audio and video systems and more …

April 7, is Hispanic Entertainment Day and from 4 to 8 p.m., attendees can celebrate Hispanic culture, take a salsa lesson, and enjoy live music with Telemundo at the auto show stage.

Bentley, Lamborghini and Maserati.

Another sort of dream car: NASCAR race cars will also be displayed, including Furniture Row Racing’s Martin Truex Jr.’s # 78, winner of the Sprint Cup Series 400 at Chicagoland Speedway last September.

Theater company that coalesced last year stages play in Denver Two friends formed Benchmark, which has nonprofit status in works

IF YOU GO “THE NETHER” plays through April 23 at Buntport Theater, 717 Lipan St., Denver.

Performances: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and 6 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $30/$20, benchmarktheatre.com. Inquiries: info@ benchmarktheatre.com.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A couple of years ago, skilled actors — and good friends — Haley Johnson and Rachel Bouchard “wanted to do a project together,” they said as we sat down before rehearsal time to chat.

What? They thought of producing, writing a play together and developing a company, which won out. It is named Benchmark Theatre, and its play “The Nether” is now running at Denver’s Buntport Theater. (Benchmark is defined by Merriam-Webster as “a way to judge the quality or level against other similar things.” Also a surveyor’s mark, cut into a wall, a pillar, a building.)

The pair spent a year planning before announcing last July, with an Aug. 1 open house at Redline Gallery, that Benchmark Theatre Company was joining the Denver area’s active theatre community. The company has a youth partner at Redline.

In response to the Orlando nightclub shooting, the new company became involved in an eight-company effort at Vintage theatre that raised over $2,000 for the Human Rights Campaign.

Metro area actors have formed the new Benchmark Theatre Company and are presenting “The Nether” at Buntport Theater. From the top left: Susannah McLeod, Marc Stith, Lauren Bahlman, Jeffrey Neuman, Rachel Bouchard, Kate Folkins and Haley Johnson. Bouchard and Johnson are founders.

COURTESY PHOTO Groundwork first: “I spent more time with corporate governance than artistic (considerations),” said Bouchard, who is director of the company’s first production, “The Nether,” which opened March 31 at Buntport Theater. Johnson plays a detective in the cast.

They are happy to have a science fiction play as their first production. “There are not many of them out there …,” they agreed, hoping it

will “tap new audiences.”

Nonprofit legal status is in the works, Johnson said, and the people they invited to be company members all said yes and all play a part.

They are - in addition to Bouchard and Johnson — Susannah McLeod, Mark Stith, Lauren Bahlman, Jeffrey Neuman and Kate Folkins.

The mission is partnering with businesses as well as other theater companies, to help build each other

up. (Buntport Theater is a partner.)

Next project will be a new science fiction play festival, “Fever Dream,” in June, with all new works and lots of intellectual discussion, also at Buntport. They hope to attract people who participate in events such as Comic Con, Johnson said.

They are reading through 300 submissions for the festival, which will run over a weekend.

It’s important to start having discussions now about what they call “augmented reality,” such as the world in “The Nether.” It adds to the real world, as in Pokemon go.

How do we feel about technology?

The play is for mature audiences, the pair cautions about the recent work by Jennifer Haley. It presents a “virtual wonderland that provides total sensory immersion; just log in and indulge your every desire.

But a young detective discovers a disturbing brand of entertainment and triggers an investigation into the darkest corners of the imagination.” A serpentine crime drama as well as a haunting sci-fi thriller.

Ballet company joins with band to examine nation’s divisions Wonderbound, Flobots stage shows in three area venues

IF YOU GO “DIVISIONS” will be performed at three metro area venues: • 7:30 p.m. April 14-15 and 2 p.m. April 16 at 2 p.m. at the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 W. 84th Ave., Federal Heights (tickets: 303-292-4700, wonderbound.com)

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Divisions,” is a new production

by Wonderbound contemporary ballet company and nationally known hip-hop band the Flobots — both involved in community activism through the arts. It will play in three metro Denver venues between April 14 and 30.

Choreographer Garrett Ammons and his wife, Dawn Fay, began with the company in Denver in 2007, then called Ballet Nouveau, now called Wonderbound. They have made a practice of collaborating with other artists.

“With our country more divided than ever, it’s important to come together through art,” Wonderbound says. “This production is inspired by how art has impacted great revolutions in history and costuming will be based on clothing worn by revolutionaries through time.”

“Our job is all the more important as social conflict increases,” said Ammons.

The new Flobots album, “NOENEMIES,” is due on May 5 and the

dance portion of the production was created from the new music. The album includes the voices of a gospel choir and intends to give listeners a sense of hope. “We hope `Divisions’ is a thoughtful and compelling look into the soul of a nation stirring with unresolved questions — What are we mobilizing for? Who are we mobilizing against? Why are we

scared of each other? As more and more people take to the streets, these questions are more vital now than ever,” Laurie said.

The socially active band started Youth on Record, which, with help from working musicians, trains at-risk students to develop career skills while staying in school. They work from a new studio located in the Mariposa community in Denver, with support from the Boettcher Foundation.

Performances will be at the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School in north Denver, at Parker’s PACE and at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts, between April 14 and 30.

Big things going on in world of theater around metro area

or

Denver’s metro area theater choices are better than ever, it would seem, as spring arrives on the scene. Three strong possibilities for April …

• “Constellations” “Constellations,” by recently recognized British playwright Nick Payne, is probably the finest production I’ve seen in several years — don’t miss it — at the adventurous Curious Theatre.

When you read that this two-character drama is about a pair of geeks: a beekeeper, Roland, and a Cambridge University academic, Marianne, whose interest is in “theoretical early universe cosmology,” you tend to think “oh dear,” if your interest is in the arts! They meet at a community barbecue and chemistry develops.

But this version of the boy-meetsgirl story hops between universes, with related, but unlike, conversations between a pair of likeable, but socially awkward, people. Actors Brett

“CONSTELLATIONS” shows through April 15 at Curious Theatre, 1080 Acoma St., Denver.

Performances: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: 303-6230524, curioustheatre.org.

“JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR” plays through April 16 at Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m.

Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Tickets: 720-898-7200, arvadacenter.org. The director is Steve Wilson.

Tickets: 303-623-0524, curioustheatre.org.

“CHINGLISH” plays through April 9 at the Aurora Fox, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m.

Sundays. Tickets: 303-739-1970, aurorafox.org.

OPIATES FROM PAGE 4

the strongest risk factor for starting heroin use, with approximately 75 percent of new users reporting past abuse of prescriptions.

One Littleton plastic surgeon has turned to an alternative to cut down on prescribing opioids, instead using Exparel, an injectable anesthetic.

“I like the idea of using numbing as a modality,” Dr. Lisa Hunsicker said.

Douglas said the prescription painkiller boom has its roots in the 1990s, when a controversy arose over pain not being treated adequately.

“The pharmaceutical industry responded by producing some very powerful drugs,” he said.

Recent trends in medicine have tried to reel in the problem, with strong painkillers being used as a last resort for acute conditions.

Surgeons are placed in a difficult position of trying to keep people comfortable following procedures, Hunsicker said.

“We as a society — we don’t know how to be in pain,” she said.

Doctors can help curb opioid abuse by not issuing large prescriptions, Douglas said.

“Personally, I just had a surgical procedure and got a big enough prescription to kill an elephant,” he said.

But those large prescriptions are an unintended consequence of federal regulation prohibiting electronic refilling of opioid prescriptions.

While the regulation was meant to prevent prescription fraud, it has led to doctors issuing large prescriptions

initially to avoid the hassle of refilling them.

Douglas noted that well-known surgeon and public health researcher Atul Gawande has recently argued for adopting electronic prescriptions for opiates.

Encouraging more doctors to check databases to spot drug shoppers is also key, Douglas said, as well as helping people dispose of unneeded medications and helping to treat people who are facing addiction.

“An opioid prescription may not be your best friend,” Douglas said.

Denver Zoo, coordinating with zoos across the country, has successfully bred a rare species of bird, the kea.

Denver zookeepers are hand-raising the hatchling, Scarlet, at the zoo’s avian propagation center and she is expected to make a public debut soon.

The kea (pronounced KEE-yah) can be found in the mountains of New Zealand and are one of the few alpine species of parrot in the world. In North America, 38 keas live in 11 zoos, and

the breeding of the birds is coordinated through a species survival plan.

Scarlet’s mother came from a zoo in Seattle and her father came from a zoo in Philadelphia. Scarlet is the first-ever successful hatching of the species for Denver Zoo, and zookeepers intend to place her back with her parents when she is older, according to a news release.

The species is thought to be in decline, the release stated, with an estimated world population between 3,000 and 5,000.

APRIL WATER MAIN FLUSHING PROGRAM The City of Englewood Utilities Department will be conducting its annual fire hydrant flushing program starting the week of April 17th at 7:00 a.m. During this week, the water mains throughout the entire City will be flushed between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.

In order to clean residue and sediments from the mains, the Water Distribution crews will be isolating sections of pipe by shutting off the valves to connecting pipes, then opening the fire hydrant on the main to full volume. The resulting surge of water flushes mineral accumulations from the pipe.

As the rushing water forces the minerals from the mains, it may force small amounts into the connecting service lines. Residents should be aware, therefore, that one or more days during the week of April 17th they may experience a flow of brown water from their taps. They should then turn on their cold water only until the taps are flowing clear.

Because of the nature of the project and the limited time available to complete it, crews will be unable to provide prior notification of their daily schedules. Residents are advised to check their cold water daily during the week of April 17th to determine if their systems have been affected by the flushing.

If there are any questions, please contact

the Utilities Department at 303-762-2635.

Will panel dig idea of boys volleyball?

Heritage catcher Casey Opitz is a switch hitter, which could benefit him as he moves on because it could keep him in the lineup longer. Coaches sometimes pinch hit for a right-handed hitting catcher. Opitz started switch hitting when he was a youngster and can face either a right-handed or left-handed pitcher.

JIM BENTON

Catchers must keep firm grip on game Position demands mental toughness, strong rapport with pitchers

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The position of catcher is not easy on the body.

Players take their lumps with foul tips, flung bats and plays at home plate with a base runner charging toward them. And, of course, there’s the squatting catchers must do, keeping their knees bent with torso low to the ground to receive pitches.

But sometimes, the hardest part of being a catcher has nothing to do with blocking a ball in the dirt, throwing out a runner trying to steal a base or catching a foul ball.

It’s the mental side of the game.

Catchers have to be leaders — and sometimes, psychologists for their teammates on the mound.

“The toughest thing about catching is the pitchers,” Lakewood senior catcher Casey O’Neill said.

“Everyone is different and you have to handle each one differently. Oh, for sure, you have to be a psychologist.

“Some guys, you have to go out there and tell them jokes, some guys you have to tell them they’re all right, and some guys you have to go out there and tell them straight that they are (playing poorly).”

Mountain Vista coach Ron Quintana, a former catcher, said catchers need to be intelligent and able to immerse themselves in the game.

“For any catcher, whether it’s high school or college, you are always looking for someone who is

going to be a leader, very vocal,” he said. “So you are looking for someone who can make good choices and good decisions.”

Heritage senior Casey Opitz, who has signed to play at the University of Arkansas, is one of the area’s top catchers. But even he says controlling what others do on the diamond is often difficult.

“You pretty much have to know where everybody has to go before they do,” he said. “That’s the hardest part. When it gets to the seventh inning, runner on third, blocking the ball is just instinct stuff, stuff you work on. But the mental stuff is probably the hardest part.”

Some high school catchers can call which pitches the player on the mound throws — and Opitz is one of them.

“It’s basically a mind game,” SEE CATCHERS, P33

Eagles’ 12-4 triumph over Sunset of Portland, Oregon.

Katherine Stanley, soccer, junior, ThunderRidge: She scored the overtime goal that gave the Grizzles a 1-0 win over rival Mountain Vista on March 28.

Colin Munro, lacrosse, senior, Mountain

Vista: He tallied three goals and added two assists in the Golden Eagles’ 14-3 victory over Rock Canyon on March 28.

Aubree Martinez, soccer, sophomore, Chaparral: In the Wolverines’ 6-1 win over Castle View on March 30, Martinez scored twice and had an assist.

oys volleyball, currently a club sport, is set to serve up another attempt to the Colorado High School Activities Association to sanction the sport.

The CHSAA Equity Committee didn’t endorse sanctioning boys volleyball during its JanuOVERTIME ary meeting, but the Colorado Boys High School Volleyball Association will make another bid to become a sanctioned sport at the April 20 Legislative Council meeting.

One of the fears of adding another boys sport is that schools could become Jim Benton out of compliance with Title IX. The federal law passed in 1972 mandates equal opportunities for sports participation for male and female athletes.

“This is the third time it’s been up for vote and of all the times before I believe this has the best chance,” CBHSVA president Mike Prusinowski said. “It all comes down to the Legislative Council vote. If the Equity Committee would have said yes, I would have been extremely sure we would have the votes. Now, I am hopeful for them.”

The Equity Committee ruling is a barricade but not a full veto. CHSAA bylaws require the Legislative Council to weight the Equity Committee’s recommendation in their decision-making process.

In a CHSAA survey last November, 258 schools responded and 93 — or 36 percent — said they would start a boys volleyball team. Another 107 schools support sanctioning boys volleyball, though they wouldn’t initially field a team.

Overall, about 55 percent of schools said they could add boys volleyball and maintain compliance with Title IX. “It’s not an equity issue and they can’t make it one because 143 schools have said they could maintain compliance,” said CBHSVA board member Scott Siegfried, a representative for Cherry Creek. “The next question CHSAA asks is do we have officials? The president of the officials association of Colorado said we have plenty of officials. Then it becomes a money issue, and the fact the gyms, the nets, the balls already exist… I’ve been working hard to reach the $40,000 mark that I will donate to CHSAA through private donors. So, in essence, the first season could be free.

“We have a good case. I think I’ve answered every question single question anybody would ask so I feel good about that but this is a democratic process, people can vote and that will be what it is.”

There are 50 club teams this season in the CBHSVA, with 600 participants playing in 3A and 5A. The clubs are co-op teams, with players coming from around the school districts. For instance, Cherry Creek has five teams, two 5A and three 3A, with players coming from all district schools.

Opitz said. “You play chess with the hitter. You have to know what pitches are working for that pitcher that day, you’ve got to know what the hitter is not seeing well, and kind of mixing those two. Then when he comes up the second time, he’ll kind of be guessing a little bit because of what he saw the first at-bat, then you have to throw the opposite of what he’s thinking.”

Optiz’s teammate, standout junior pitcher Riley Egloff, appreciates the input from his catcher.

“I love when a catcher comes up to you and knocks some sense into you or tells you that you need to get your head straight,” Egloff said. “Once there is someone to come out and calm you down, it’s great.”

Northglenn coach Cameron

Tallman pitched at the University of Northern Colorado and also knows the value of a good catcher.

“You have to have trust in your catcher to throw the right pitch, do the right things and be able to throw a ball in the dirt and be comfortable and trust that he will block the ball,” he said.

Westminster’s Miguel Palos, one of the top catchers in the East Metro League, said it’s important to be able to calm a pitcher down and tell him to throw strikes.

That just comes with the terrain behind home plate.

“You are part of the whole game,” Palos said. “You’re the leader of the whole game.”

The ultimate impact of a topnotch catcher can often be seen in a pitcher’s statistics, Heritage coach Scott Hormann said.

“A great catcher,” he said, “makes a mediocre pitcher great.”

topic and carry it through several multiverses.

Director Christy Montour-Larson has put together a complex, brilliant piece of theater.

The program offers a clearly stated layman’s definition of String Theory, which drives the plot, but really, it’s not needed to stay engaged with this compelling story — and probably to associate parts with one’s own experiences.

The production is enhanced by changing projections of night skies across the backdrop, courtesy of NASA. Beautiful.

• “Jesus Christ Superstar” At Easter season, “Jesus Christ Superstar,” by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, is an appropriate choice and Arvada Center offers a well-staged production, with strong voices, for this sung-through rock opera version of a story we all know. It was originally staged in 1971 and has had recent revivals on Broadway and in London, which tied up rights for several years, according to director Rod A. Lansberry, who has wanted to produce it.

As directed by Lansberry, the large cast moves deftly through a multileveled, red rock desert Garden of Gethsemane, with changes in lighting and music that carry the dramatic story of Jesus Christ’s last seven days to the inevitable conclusion.

Costumes are mostly historically accurate, with subdued color, which makes it difficult to sort out who is who, but provides an earthy background along with the set.

Billy Lewis Jr. debuts at Arvada as Jesus and Matt LaFontaine, a frequent Arvada performer, also well-known at Town Hall in Littleton, gives a remarkable performance as the conflicted Judas, after taking over the role just a few days before opening. Jenna Bainbridge, who came to local theaters from

Douglas County High School some years ago and has starred in Phamaly Theatre productions and elsewhere, brings her lovely voice to the role of Mary Magdalene.

Well-staged large-scale productions are always a treat at Arvada Center, where the staff has experience working together and consistently delivers top-quality theater.

• “Chinglish” As the audience takes seats at the Aurora Fox, an entertaining series of signs in Chinese and English greets then onstage. The translations are photographs of actual signs playwright David Henry Hwang noticed on a number of trips to China. Example: “Men’s handicapped restroom — Toilet for deformed men.”

At a lecture for the Ohio Commerce League, we hear Daniel Cavenaugh (veteran actor Mark Rubald) explaining how he plans to score a big sale in China. Ohio sign manufacturer Cavenaugh arrives in a provincial Chinese city, hoping to sell a series of correctly translated signs for a new arts center.

He meets his translator Peter Timms (Tim O’Connell), an experienced, but less than honest China hand, who advises him on how to approach the Cultural Minister Cai Guoliang (Ke Zang). Business in China takes byzantine paths to conclusions and one needs to understand the culture, he says.

The naive Midwesterner gives his pitch to the minister, hilariously translated by Qian (Peter Trinh) and negatively received by the attractive assistant to the minister, Xi Yan (Christa Yan). Several storylines follow as Daniel threads his way through conflicting ideals and ideas, while developing an increasing attraction to the Cultural Minister’s assistant. She has her own agenda, which is eventually explained and a trial happens.

The reason for the advice “always bring your own translator” becomes apparent as the complex plot proceeds.

The acting is good and the script holds delightful humor and considerable insight.
