The following is his take and his take only.
 Cancer
(The Crab)
June 21-July 22
Your symbol is the crab which sexually speaking is not good. You are sensitive and emotional with a hard shell and soft interior. Folks coming into contact with you should be gentle, take special care and sometimes use special soap. You are into water sports such as swimming, fishing and sailing which are obvious since Cancer is a water sign. Soaking in any hot tubs or Jacuzzis is not recommended, especially when hot butter or lemon juice is involved, (come on, we all know you’ve considered it.) As far as fellow Cancerian, Cancerious, err let’s just go with Crab celebrities go, you could be, "Rockin to the Oldies," with Ringo Starr, Bill Haley or Carlos Santana, which is sure better than, "Sweatin," to them with fellow crab, Richard Simmons. Besides, he looks like he would enjoy the hot butter Jacuzzi a little too much. | |  Leo
(The Lion)
July 23-Aug 22
Leo is a fixed sign and we all know what that means. Okay, I don’t have a clue either but I do know Leo is the Fifth sign of the Zodiac, a masculine sign, a born leader and ruled by the sun. We are impressed; we shouldn’t be. You are stubborn and resistant to change, tend to be egocentric and somewhat overbearing though you show enthusiasm, generosity and a sunny disposition. I know this makes about as much sense as having a conversation with you does, but hey, it’s in the stars pal. Celebrity Leos include Hulk Hogan, Barry Bonds and Arnold Schwarzenegger which would explain why your sign resembles a Siamese cat on steroids. Other celebrity Leos are, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, Peter Jennings and Jerry Garcia. That’s a Red, a Fed, a Talking Head and a Grateful Dead. | | | | |

Backyard BBQ Loses
Its Main Ingredients |
By Momma Tee
Released: July 5, 2008 For months, skateboarders and fans had been hearing announcements for Journey’s Backyard BBQ,
featuring skateboarding greats Tony Hawk, Shawn White and Bam Margera. The event was held at The Colorado Mills Mall
in Littleton on Saturday, May 17. Hundreds of fans gathered for the event in anticipation of meeting their
skateboarding idols. It was a perfect sunny afternoon, just right for skateboard demos, local bands, barbecue
grilling and tons of free stuff.
Still Rolling with the Punches |
By Jerry Roys
Released: June 22, 2008 Former heavy weight boxer Ron Lyle, 67, grew up in the Curtis Park Projects during the 1940s and 50s. Born in Ohio, Ron’s family
moved to Denver when Ron was six years old. His father, William, was a Pentecostal preacher and was one of the first to bring
the Apostolic Pentecostal faith to the area in 1943. By Rock Ryan
Released: May 30, 2008 These are the times that try a coach’s soul. All of Denver’s professional sports teams are undergoing hard
times. As the curtain fell on another disastrous Broncos season, many of the Denver scribes were calling for Mike Shanahan’s
head. There was more ink spilled over his plans to build a new house than over his choice of draft picks or his ability to still
coach. There was much consternation over his firing of the popular General Manager, with the reprobates blaming it on everything
from his new mansion to his large ego. |

By Jerry Roys
Released: July 5, 2008 There are so many talented female vocalists belting it out in Denver. The sultry vocals
of Tempa, Hazel Miller’s church soul, the horn section-like harmonies of Jamie
and Jody Ferguson, the gritty blues of Erica Brown and Teresa Lynn’s wailing vocal
and harp are but a few of the ladies you can catch singing their hearts out on any given
night. My first "Lady," in this story series is the ever so talented Rachel Jane. By Jerry Roys
Released: June 22, 2008 There was a storm on June 1, and the thunder came from inside of Ziggies Bar, 4928 W.38th Ave., when 10 of Colorado’s
top bass players laid down their lighting licks and rained down deep pocket grooves for the Rocky Mountain Bass Slam. By Momma Tee
Released: May 29, 2008 On Sunday, April 20, I was both privileged and honored to partake in one of the most soul touching events
that I have been party to in quite some time. Jammin Joe’s in Westminster held a benefit/fundraiser,
hosted by journalist and musician Jerry Roys for local musician Janell McElwain. McElwain, who
founded Sound Town Music with husband Mark, supplied vocals and played bass guitar for Mario and
the Durango Band. She is now fighting cancer, with her beloved husband Mark and family by her side.
April 20 was just a taste of just how many friends this precious woman has, and that some folks in
today’s society really do care. |
