Margaret Weber, of Riverside, was recently surprised as she went to pick up her tee after a drive on the eighth hole of the golf course at the Saratoga Resort and Spa. Weber was playing with friends Seth Johnson and Chris Duke May 4 when she sunk a hole-in-one. But she didn’t know it. “I didn’t even see it. I thought that I had hit the green and it rolled over the green … and they started jumping and yelling saying I got a hole in one.” Weber related, “I didn’t believe it until I walked up and...

The first of 11 planes began to arrive at Shively Field at about 9:30 Saturday. They came out of the east dropping in altitude over Saratoga for the downwind leg of their approach. Somewhere west of town, they turned left and flew perpendicular to the runway several miles away; that's called the "base leg" of a visual approach. Then they turned left again, bringing their planes to bear on runway 23 at Shively Field for their final approaches. One by one, they landed, taxied to the ramp and tied... Full story

Over the weekend at the Platte Valley Community Center in Saratoga, family fun ambled onto the Kirsten Campbell Court very slowly. The place also smelled like a stable. Donkey basketball-the sport European Monarchs would have played if only they had the good sense to think of it rather than polo-combines the athleticism of basketball and the raw power of thundering donkey hooves clad in rubber shoes to prevent the gym surface from being marred. And, it returned to Saratoga this weekend, all... Full story

Though the children appeared happy enough when they scored, they also seemed merrily oblivious to the scoreboard. Kindergartners through 12th-graders are eligible to participate in Jr. Jazz and the youth program emphasizes teamwork, fundamental basketball skills and positive adult participation. Saratoga,...
