Are you familiar with the Elvis sandwich? \n \nAaron Black has been performing his Award-Winning Tribute to Elvis for over 25 years. He has won two “Best-in-Show” awards at the Air Force Talent competitions and many other awards! Aaron has performed in two television commercials (one local\, one nation-wide) and in one radio commercial and was a finalist for a recent Apple nationwide commercial. \nThe 5 Elvis Suits that he currently wears are authentic $4000 recreations of Elvis’ most famous suits\, including the Aloha Eagle Jumpsuit worn in the Aloha From Hawaii TV Concert!

He also performs in the blue “Owl” suit as seen in the movie “Elvis on Tour” and the black\, gold and red “Matador” suit. No other Elvis Tribute Artist in Colorado has such an impressive collection of authentic suits! \nAaron always mixes a little humor and Elvis trivia into every hip-shaking show. He is often asked if he is lip-synching\, but it really is Aaron singing. He has even performed for two people who knew the real Elvis and both gave him high marks! \n \nAaron has always been an Elvis fan. As a child\, he saw Elvis perform live six times. He met his future wife the day after Elvis died when she asked him about the black armband he was wearing. They became best friends and were married several years later! \nBe sure to visit with our Partner Tables before and after the program! \n \n ..

SUMMARY:Program: UFOs and the Navajo Rangers ----- Paranormal Cases From the Navajo Nation
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 16\, 2023\nDoors Open at 6:30 pm\nEnjoy complimentary refreshments and browse our partner tables before the program\nProgram  7:00-8:30 pm\nSouthridge Recreation Center\n4800 McArthur Ranch Road\, Highlands Ranch\n$3 Donation Suggested at Door for non-HRHS members\n \nPresenters:  \nJonathan Dover\, Ranger Lieutenant (Ret.) and Stanley Milford Jr. Ranger Sergeant (Ret.)\nThis presentation will cover paranormal investigations that were conducted by Jonathan Dover and Stanley Milford Jr. during an 11 year span within Navajo Nation lands located in Arizona\, New Mexico\, and Utah. These include cases involving UFO’s\, Bigfoot\, Hauntings\, and Navajo Skinwalkers. These inexplicable cases were meticulously investigated with a scrutiny that is unheard of these days. During their careers Jonathan and Stanley were exposed to some of the most unbelievable phenomenon known to man. This is a land of rugged beauty\, deep legend\, and mystery where it seems anything can happen on any given day. \nPresenter:  Jonathan Redbird Dover\nJonathan Dover is a veteran law enforcement officer.  He has worked with the City of Winslow Arizona Police Department\, The National Park Service\, Navajo Historic Preservation Department\, and the Navajo Nation Rangers.  He retired from active duty as a Lieutenant in 2011 after 31 years.  Jonathan Dover attended the 6-month Navajo Nation Police Academy and graduated with the Marksmanship award\, the Academic Achievement award\, and the Outstanding Cadet award.  He further trained at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Criminal Investigations.  Jonathan Dover has over 4\,000 hours of law enforcement and weapons training. \nThe Navajo Nation Rangers are tasked with Natural Resource Law Enforcement in the areas of Forestry\, Fish and Wildlife\, Mines\, Minerals\, Parks and Recreation areas\, Archaeology\, Cultural Resources\, Agriculture\, Police work\, and Search and Rescue. \nJonathan Dover was trained as a specialist in Archaeological Resource Crimes Investigations and was one of only two persons doing those investigations in the western United States.  He was also trained as a licensed EMT-Basic\, in SWAT tactical operations\, Hazardous materials operational first responder\, Search and Rescue\, Technical accident investigation\, computer forensics\, and was an instructor in Police Firearms training and High Angle Technical Rescue. He was the Co-Commander of the Ranger Tactical team and an adjunct instructor for several classes at Gunsite Academy. \nDuring his work on Navajo Nation lands\, along with his regular duties\, he along with Stanley Milford Jr. were assigned over a period of 11 years to officially investigate and document significant cases involving Bigfoot\, Hauntings\, Navajo Witchcraft\, and UFO’s. \nJonathan Dover on his off-time dances at Native American Pow Wows\, and in the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma Blackfoot Society (Warrior Society).  He has played guitar for 45 years\, and is a fly fisherman. \nJonathan Dover is Navajo\, Southern Cheyenne\, Apache Tribe of Oklahoma (Kiowa-Apache) and Filipino. \nPRESENTER: Stanley Milford Jr.\n \nStanley Milford Jr. spent most of his childhood growing up between rural Oklahoma and the Navajo Reservation. He lived and went to school in Oklahoma\, but would spend many summers on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. He graduated High School in Oklahoma and later graduated from Haskell Indian Junior College located in Kansas. Stan also attended Fort Lewis College in Colorado and the University of Arizona in Tucson\, Arizona. It was while he was at Tucson that he was asked to come back to the Navajo Nation and work as a Navajo Ranger. Stan graduated the United States Indian Police Academy (IPA) at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Artesia\, New Mexico and then worked continuously as a sworn law enforcement Ranger for over twenty-three (23) years. \nStan served as a Ranger Recruit\, a Ranger and Ranger Sergeant. It was while working as a Sergeant he worked directly with the Chief Ranger in the command section of the department. Stan later served as the Delegated Chief Navajo Ranger for over two (2) years\, through March of 2019. Stan served as a department firearm instructor\, Team Leader for the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team charged to oversee all special operations. He was also commissioned as a Navajo Police Officer to work as a team member with the Navajo Police’s Drug and Gang Task Force. \nOne of Stan’s unique responsibilities was overseeing a section called the “Special Projects Unit (SPU)”. It was within this section that Stan worked with Jonathan Dover (Ret. Lieutenant). This section’s primary role was managing cases and projects that were deemed critical\, sensitive or high profile in nature. These cases could be anything from high priority investigations\, dignitary protection\, high risk detail\, SWAT or other emergency operations. One of the responsibilities of that unit was the investigation of cases that did not fit within everyday parameters of law enforcement or criminal investigation. Enter the “paranormal or supernatural” i.e. cases involving Bigfoot\, UFOs\, Extraterrestrials\, witchcraft\, skinwalkers\, ghosts and hauntings. It should be known that these cases were about 1% of the total of cases that were investigated by the SPU each year. \nIn 2021 Stan decided he needed a change\, he had served over twenty-three years as a Navajo Ranger and he had accomplished what he had originally set out to do in law enforcement. \nStanley and Jonathan have been involved with the History Channel’s Skinwalker Ranch and Beyond Skinwalker. \nGuest Business:  MUFON\, Katie Paige \nKatie Paige has personal ties to a High Strangeness Ranch in Colorado. In UFO folklore it was known as the “Clearview” Ranch\, and pre-dates the infamous “Skinwalker Ranch’ by over a decade. This is what motivated her interest in ufology\, to find answers to all her experiences. \nKatie is Colorado MUFON’s State Director. She is a STAR Investigator for MUFON and is the team lead/administrator for MUFON’s MARRS Team. She’s the host of MUFON What’s Up Radio Broadcast on KGRADB.com along with her co hosts Shane Hurd and Tara Diulus. \nMost recently\, Katie can be seen on Travel Channels UFO Witness\, Gaia’s Beyond Belief with George Noory\, History Channel’s Ancient Aliens\, Small Town Monsters; On the Trail of UFO’s Night Visitors\, Ron James’s film Accidental Truth and History Channel’s new series Beyond Skinwalker. \nKatie also conducts independent investigations and research\, she has been a presenter at several conferences and has appeared on many radio shows and podcasts\, including Coast to Coast with George Knapp\, Spaced Out Radio\, UAP Studies Podcast\, and Coast to Coast’s Dark Becomes Light\, and many more. \nKatie is the author of; Letters of Love & Light – Four Decades of UFO Encounters\, Experiences & Sightings Shared with Ufologist R. Leo Sprinkle Ph.D. She is currently writing her second book: High Strangeness on a Colorado Ranch; The Colorado “Skinwalker” Ranch – Craft\, Cattle\, Copters\, Cryptids\, and Cover-Ups.

SUMMARY:The History of the Power Grid  and America's Secure Energy Future
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, June 19\, 2023\nDoors Open at 6:30 pm\nEnjoy complimentary refreshments and browse our partner tables before the program\nProgram  7:00-8:30 pm\nSouthridge Recreation Center\n4800 McArthur Ranch Road\, Highlands Ranch\n$3 Donation Suggested at Door for non-HRHS members\n\nGlenn Rhoades will present an overview of the work he has done since 2011 on existential threats to the US and Colorado power grids. He will also provide a brief overview of how critical both water and power infrastructures are woven together into the very fabric of life throughout history. Glenn will describe a journey that started with his work on sustainable human habitat in 1978\, the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011\, and the study of the US EMP Congressional Commission in 2014.\nAlso included are: Roman Aqueducts\, Nuclear Coolant Water Security\, Viruses  And America’s Secure Energy Future. \nThree US Congressional EMP Reports of 2006\, 2008\, and 2017 presented to the nation that both water and power are threatened as never before envisioned by modern human society.\nWhy is there such a surge of interest in this topic?\nWhat is the science behind the threats to the power grid? How safe is our national power grid? How safe is our worldwide power grid? Can a small part of America be bold enough to show the rest of the country that the protection of both water and power systems\, at a minimum\, is a goal? Can we as a community working together\, with a complex mix of players\, guard against newly discovered existential threats that could take these resources away forever?\nIs it possible that damage to only nine of the 55\,000 grids could cause a complete grid down environment for many years? What would that look like?  Why would it take many years to get our grids operational again?\n \nMr. Rhoades will address these questions and participate in follow up discussions about the electrical grid challenge. Reference material can be found in the partnership work done with actor\, Dennis Quaid in his movie found at www.griddownpowerup.com and www.blackskyevent.com.\nABOUT OUR SPEAKER\, GLENN E.

SUMMARY:Douglas County Colorado: Prehistory to 2020
DESCRIPTION:Historic Douglas County\, Inc Presents Its New Book \nDouglas County Colorado: Prehistory to 2020\nMonday\, May 15\, 2023  6:30 pm Doors Open\, 7:00-8:30 pm program\nSouthridge Recreation Center\, Upstairs Auditorium\n4800 McArthur Ranch Rd\n$3 Donation Suggested at Door for non-HRHS members\n\n  \nIn the early 1990s\, Douglas County was the fastest growing county in the U.S.  By 2020\, it had surpassed 350\,000.  For most of its 160-year history\, the county was overwhelmingly agricultural. But over time\, its farms\, cattle ranches\, and dairy farms were replaced by subdivisions\, shopping centers\, and towns of varying size. While parts of the county grew rapidly\, the people in other parts decided to remain small. Historically\, all residents experienced both natural disasters and human-made calamities. They experienced economic depressions and periods of prosperity. For decades\, they have worried about their water supply\, how much growth they wanted\, and how to create a livable future. The most important part of the Douglas County story is its hardworking and forward-looking people who argued about many things while they loved DC as a wonderful place to live. \nHistoric Douglas County\, Inc will introduce its new book Douglas County Colorado: Prehistory to 2020 and highlight several of its surprising contents in a PowerPoint presentation. \n \nPresenters: \n\nTim Weber is on the board of Historic Douglas County\, Inc. He has a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and taught graduate-level history in four different institutions for thirty years in Colorado\, Kentucky\, Illinois\, and Tennessee. He and his wife Linda have lived in Castle Rock since 2005.\nLarry Schlupp is a longstanding member of Historic Douglas County\, Inc.\, Larkspur Historical Society\, and Colorado Preservation\, Inc. Larry had a long career in the telecommunications industry in the U.S. and the U.K. Larry and his wife Julia live in Perry Park and have been residents of Colorado since 1993.\n\n \nThe book will be available for purchase the evening of the May 15 presentation.  The book is available on Amazon.com. \n  \n
