Students unplug, discover value of real face time ‘Offline October’ started as response to local tragedy, spread worldwide

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An initiative to ditch social media for a month that started with Littleton Public Schools students has gone viral, with thousands of youngsters around the country and the globe joining in the effort to get reacquainted with the world beyond their phones.

The effort, dubbed “Offline October,” followed back-toback student suicides near the beginning of the school year.

A group of concerned Heritage High School students brainstormed the initiative, which they say is intended to get kids to back away from the false perfection their peers portray online, which they say can be damaging to selfesteem.

“After these tragedies, we figured there must be something we can do,” said Kade Kurowski, a 15-year-old freshman at Heritage who was among the group that spearheaded the initiative.

“We can’t make it stop, but we think going offline might be a way to help.”

The group created a website and sought pledges from students to swear off social media for all of October. The site racked up pledges from more than 1,600 people in 240 schools in 26 states and seven countries.

On Oct. 1, students deleted Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and other apps from their phones.

Connecting by disconnecting As the kids’ profiles went dark, some, like Littleton

From left, Cason Kurowski, 16, Thomas Jackson, 14, Camden Kurowski, 13, and Morgan Schilling, 15, shoot the breeze at a meeting of Offline October organizers on Nov. 5. The effort to get kids to take a monthlong break from social media spread around the country and the world.

DAVID GILBERT High School senior Kellie Roth, 17, weren’t sure they could stick with it.

“I wasn’t expecting to make it through the whole month, but I ended up really liking it,” Roth said.

She said she typically spent her last hour before bed and her first hour after waking up on social media, but before long, she didn’t miss it.

“I realized how much people use social media,” Roth said.

“I went to dinner with some friends, and they were sitting on their phones, and I was just sitting there with nothing to do. I realized how little people really talk to each other. I really preferred not having it, because we actually talked instead of snapping or texting.”

Roth said she felt a little left out at times, because friends who weren’t participating

would often talk about something they’d seen on Snapchat or Instagram.

“But in the end, I realized I really didn’t care,” Roth said.

Kurowski said his life improved after ditching social media — he was able to focus on homework better, and he and his brothers spent more time outside playing basketball.

“It honestly felt a hundred times better than sitting there and opening Snaps,” Kurowski said.

“My birthday was in October,” Kurowski said. “I was afraid I’d feel like I was missing out on everyone sending me birthday wishes online, but it was honestly one of my better birthdays because I had the most people come up to me face to face — even people who don’t normally talk to me — to wish me happy birthday.”

Kurowski and the other organizers held weekly events for kids who had taken the pledge. One weekend, they met up to play sports in the park. On the last Saturday of October, they watched the sun rise at Red Rocks.

On the morning after Halloween, Kurowski looked at Snapchat for the first time in a month.

“I looked at it for maybe five minutes,” Kurowski said. “It just seemed kind of pointless. I deleted the app again, and I’m going to leave it deleted for now.”

Looking forward Kurowksi’s mom, Christie, said she was encouraged by the outcome.

“They learned the value of face-to-face interaction,” Christie said. “They also realized people only post the good

stuff. Nobody posts their bad days.”

Christie said she ruminated on the impact of social media on young minds.

“Sometimes I’ll go on Facebook and see my friends taking all these great trips, and I’d think wow, my life is awful.” Christie said. “But then I’m able to stop and say no, I have three great kids and a wonderful husband.

My life is great. But can a high-schooler do that when they’re looking at the parties their friends are going to, the vacations they’re going on?”

Christie said she was unnerved after news of one of the two late-summer suicides had rocketed through students’ social media accounts long before many adults had heard of it.

“I’m kidding myself to say they’ll stay off it,” Christie said. “But I hope they’re learning to use it in moderation. We know a kid who runs a lawn-mowing business on Facebook. They’re very mature about it. I just hope they liked as much as I did that they actually came down and hung out for breakfast.”

After such a banner inaugural year, Kurowski said the kids would like to keep the initiative going.

Littleton Board of Education President Jack Reutzel said he was blown away by the results.

“It was a genius move by the kids,” Reutzel said. “I couldn’t be more proud of them. From the stories I’ve heard, they were reintroduced to a bunch of other great stuff that happens when you’re not on your phone. If administrators had come up with this, it wouldn’t have been nearly as successful. Kids are really smart.

We just need to give them the space and encouragement to do great things.”

MAYOR FROM PAGE 1

Piko will succeed term-limited Cathy Noon, who has served a pair of four-year terms. Noon followed the city’s first mayor, Randy Pye. Whelan called Piko about 8 p.m. to congratulate her on the presumptive win.

“We did what we could, and a great deal of thanks goes to everyone who supported me,” Whelan said.

“I thanked (Stephanie) for (what) I thought was a campaign the way it should be, especially in this day and age.”

Whelan said he heard from a lot of people there was “not a lot” that distinguished him and his opponent.

“Which I took as a good sign because it showed we were both dedicated to the city,” Whelan said. “I just felt that some of my background in the business world and projects I supported on council would have done it.”

Piko, who has lived in Centennial for 16 years, is a substitute teacher for the Cherry Creek School District and an office manager and information-technology support for Intelinet Imaging, a teleradiology service provider. She sat on the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission from 2008-11 and chaired the Open Space Advisory Board from 2007-11. She’s the current mayor pro

tem and is in her second term on city council.

Whelan, who has lived in what’s now Centennial for more than 30 years, is a telecommunications entrepreneur and business owner. He’s a former mayor pro tem for the city and a former president of the Cunningham Fire Protection District.

Piko had two years left of her fouryear city council term. So if she had lost the election, she would still have held a council seat. Whelan, on the other hand, was up for re-election on council, but couldn’t run for both council and mayor so will now be leaving office.

Whelan and Piko raised nearly the same amount of campaign contributions, with Whelan pulling in $30,911 and Piko edging him out with $30,951, according to filings with the city.

All new elected officials in Centennial will be sworn in at the council meeting on Jan. 8.

Candidates were also vying for seats in four city council districts. Here’s a look at those races.

District 2 In the race for District 2’s open council seat, Tamara Hunter-Maurer was the voters’ choice with 42 percent of those casting ballots choosing her.

Trailing her were incumbent Doris Truhlar with 28.8 percent, Nancy Nickless with 15.1 percent and Bennett Rutledge with 14.1 percent. At the

time, 5,981 votes were counted with all 20 precincts reporting. District 2 is roughly the second-most western part of the city.

Hunter-Maurer, who has lived in what’s now Centennial for 34 years, is a professional engineer with a focus on transportation, roads and construction with the State of Colorado. She has worked on projects as project manager or as technical expert for traffic and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). She has served on CenCON, the Centennial Council of Neighborhoods, as a second vice president, and as president of the Ridgeview Hills North Civic Association.

District 4 In a close race for District 4’s open seat, Marlo Alston was leading with 34.4 percent of the vote shortly after midnight Nov. 8. Trailing her, just 30 votes behind, was Charlette Fleming with 33.8 percent of the vote. John Miquel garnered 31.8 percent of the vote. More than 4,700 votes were counted, with all 19 precincts reporting. District 4 encompasses most of the northeastern corner of the city.

Alston, who has lived in Centennial since 2004, is a “military wife” and mother of military veterans.

She works in workers’ compensation claims management. She has sat on the city’s Open Space Advisory Board and was a homeowners association vice president and board member.

Fleming, who has lived in what’s now Centennial since 2000, is a senior accounting consultant for AxxessConnect, a telecommunications and information technology service provider.

Miquel, who has lived in Centennial since 2013, is the small-business owner of and attorney at the Law Firm of John F. Miquel. He was previously a manager and corporate trainer in the hospitality industry.

District 1 In District 1, incumbent Kathy Turley ran unopposed and will keep her seat. Turley, who has lived in what’s now Centennial for 38 years, is a retired sales executive from Kaiser Permanente and worked there for almost 20 years. Turley has been a city councilmember for District 1, the westernmost part of the city, for four years.

District 3 In District 3, Mike Sutherland, who ran unopposed, will take the seat.

District 3 encompasses the southeastern, middle and center-west parts of the city.

Sutherland, who has lived in what is now Centennial for 23 years, is an attorney who has practiced law in the private and public sectors in Colorado since 1984, and he’s currently the benefits counsel for the Fire and Police Pension Association of Colorado. He is a former member of the Foxridge Improvement Association Board.

South Suburban ballot measures pass by large margin Parks district to extend tax collection indefinitely, take out fresh loans

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Voters said yes in the Nov. 7 election to a pair of measures that will allow South Suburban Parks and Recreation District to both maintain their current tax collection indefinitely, and to take out fresh loans to pursue the district’s growth goals.

Ballot Issue 4B, which extends the district’s current tax structure indefinitely, was passing with 79.1 percent of the vote as of 9:20 a.m. on Nov. 8, the morning after the election. Ballot Issue 4C, which allows the district to take out fresh loans, was passing with 69.7 percent of the vote.

South Suburban is largely funded by property tax revenue, collected through two mill levies, approved in 2010 and 2014. Residents of the district pay 1.163

mills toward the district’s existing debt, meaning the owner of a $300,000 home pays about $15.50 a month to maintain and improve the district’s four recreation centers, four outdoor pools, four golf courses, nearly 100 miles of trails, more than 100 parks and 2,500 acres of open space.

Ballot Issue 4B indefinitely extends the district’s two property tax mill levies.

Ballot Issue 4C allows the district to borrow more money to increase its debt to $46.86 million, with a repayment cost of up to $61.66 million.

The debt would go toward meeting a variety of needs, according to a news release, including repairing and improving existing parks, recreation facilities and playgrounds, replacing outdated mechanical equipment with new energy saving systems, replacing inefficient irrigation systems and maintaining natural areas and open space.

South Suburban serves Littleton, Lone Tree, Sheridan, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, much of Centennial and some unincorporated areas of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties.

Marilyn Fenner, left, and Martha Castillo-Garcia open mailin ballots, examining each one for tears, smears, or stains. “I’ve done this for years,” Fenner said. “It’s fun to be part of the democratic process, and I get to see all my old friends.” DAVID GILBERT

Vote of confidence ahead of Election Day

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Things were quiet at the Arapahoe County Elections Facility on Federal Boulevard in Littleton on Halloween — ballots were coming in at a trickle, but Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane said the deluge would soon arrive as the Nov. 7 Election Day approached.

The facility is a cavernous warehouse that once housed massive rows of voting machines before the state switched to a mail-ballot system, Crane said.

This year, a team of 14 permanent employees and 45 temporary staff are processing ballots from voters in various local and county elections, though Crane expects that only about a third of the 325,000 eligible voters will submit a ballot.

Trained staff sort, process, and verify every ballot, with legions of judges on hand to examine ballots with insufficient information, iffy signatures or unclear voting marks.

“It’s an awesome responsibility,” Crane said. “People give us their trust.”

Homeless vet numbers may be down, but problem persists Cities, counties, groups try to reach out to those suffering after service

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An estimated 569 homeless veterans live in the Denver metro area, and Freddie Sprankel used to be one of them.

After more than three years in the U.S. Army — including an almost year-long duty tour in Iraq — Sprankel got an honorable discharge in 2012 and was in a head-on car collision that caused him spinal damage in Fort Hood, Texas.

He came back to his native Colorado to be near his family for mental support, went through a divorce and ended up homeless in Denver.

A year and a half later, Sprankel was able to find housing — but for many homeless veterans, the path forward is still steep.

“I would say the trajectory is such that that population is increasing,” T.J. Westphal, a service officer for the Arapahoe County Veterans Service Office, said of homeless veterans in his county. Given “the current housing market and cost of living, we definitely talk to a lot of people who are on the cusp of becoming homeless.”

Westphal says the numbers are hard to track, but he’s noticed an uptick in the number of people in Arapahoe County who are on that edge since 2014 and 2015.

For Sprankel, 34, it took a combination of help from a nonprofit organization and a governmental body to get him back to life with housing, as is the case for many like him.

But dealing with the local offices of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs — better known as the VA — wasn’t easy, even for a homeless veteran.

In limbo Left with no separation pay when he was discharged from the Army, Sprankel, a father of five, was told the VA would take care of him. But when he started his disability paperwork in Colorado, it was a self-described “nightmare.”

Sprankel said he dealt with a slow-moving Denver VA system, and he said he had to go to great lengths to get his case on track and get the benefits he needed, a year and a half after he had come back to Colorado after his service.

Freddie Sprankel, a United States Army veteran, sits at Fairmount Cemetery in Denver. Sprankel, 34, was homeless in the Denver metro area after returning to civilian life in 2012.

RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE The VA offers: • Permanent supportive housing and transitional housing • Drop-in services including showers, a food pantry, case management, housing assistance and screening and referrals for VA and community programs, through the Volunteers Of America Bill Daniels Veteran Services Center • Walk-in clinic service also offering case management, housing assistance and program referrals • Call: 800-827-1000 and 303-399-8020; call 720501-3367 for the Bill Daniels center Homeless assistance and veterans services from nonprofit and local resources: These entities offer services or help veterans navigate the VA process.

In general, the VA offers avenues to permanent supportive housing, transitional housing and referrals for VA and community programs, said Michelle Lapidow, section chief for the homeless program at the VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System in Denver.

Vouchers through the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development — known as HUD-VASH — can be a road to housing, Sprankel said, but even if a veteran is approved, they still have to wait for housing to open up that accepts the vouchers.

Westphal in Arapahoe County, an Army veteran himself, said frustration with the VA is often due to misinformed expectations.

“If they feel like they’ve been burned, we help them” understand the VA’s decision, said Westphal, who previous-

ly worked for the VA. “Some vets get into the mindset of, ‘Well, I’m a vet — the VA is going to be there to help me with anything I need.’ “ Because veterans often hear misinformation about help they can get, Westphal said, it can be a wake-up call when they find out what they’re eligible for.

“I would say for my part, I wasn’t really informed at all,” Westphal said. “When I got out in 2005 ... there weren’t a lot of services for transition out of the military at that point. Over the last decade or so, we’ve really seen the VA and communities making an effort to improve that piece, but (the) military and VA have a lot of work to do (to give) good information to vets when they separate.”

Mariah Markus, 26, a former member of the Air National Guard who trained and worked at U.S. Air Force bases, also became homeless

and met Sprankel through the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1 in Denver.

“There’s a lot of bureaucracy that surrounds VA claims,” said Markus, who grew up in Aurora and became homeless in July 2015 after exiting the military in 2012. “It’s a systematic problem.”

Markus wasn’t able to get disability benefits because she never served active duty.

“Some claims get approved all at once,” she said. “Some have to really put up a fight.”

Challenges and welcome news In the metro area suburbs, the homeless veteran population is much smaller than in the city of Denver, where about 81 percent of homeless veterans in the area stayed on one night in the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative’s Point-InTime survey. But officials are still working to provide help.

“Over the past year, Jefferson County has seen an

increase in homeless veterans as they have moved from other counties into Jeffco,” said Kathryn Otten, an official with the county’s Human Services Department. Although its veterans’ service officers didn’t make contact with homeless veterans in most months of 2017, Otten said the office believes there has been an increase in need.

The City and County of Denver is the epicenter of veteran homelessness in Colorado, said Brenton Hutson, an official with Volunteers of America’s Colorado branch.

Denver’s point-in-time count, 459, dwarfs that of the nexthighest count in the metro area, Arapahoe County’s 44.

“Denver metro is one of the few urban centers nationally that has not seen a marked decline in homelessness amongst veterans over the past several years,” said Brenton Hutson, an official with Volunteers of America’s Colorado branch. “That tide is beginning to turn, in large part because of community efforts to stand up more effective data systems that allow providers to efficiently connect services to those in need.”

After a three-year growth streak that peaked in 2016 with 713 homeless veterans identified, the Point-In-Time report on the amount of homeless in the Denver metro area on one night, Jan. 30, showed 569 veterans counted.

That number comes despite the overall homelessness and chronically homeless counts hitting six-year highs. The survey doesn’t yield an exact picture of the homeless population, but the results may signal a shift.

But veterans like Sprankel don’t always have a lot of time to wait.

A patchwork of help “It was tough, without a doubt,” Sprankel said. “I wasn’t sleeping — I’d drive around to wherever I’d feel safe for the night, crash out for one to two hours, and then I’d be up. Paranoia kicks in, that fear mindset.”

Homeless shelters in the city of Denver can be a hostile environment, especially for combat veterans, Sprankel said.

“I just rolled with the punches, until the punches got so heavy I was ready to kill myself,” said Sprankel, who said he attempted cutting his femoral artery with a butcher knife at one point.

Other veterans got him motivated, and that, Sprankel SEE VETERANS, P14

When Danell Kalcevic was in kindergarten, an assignment asked her to describe what she wanted to be when she grows up.

“It sounds silly,” Kalcevic, 48, said, but what she put on the assignment was a farmer’s wife.

Fast forward and Kalcevic is partowner of Kalcevic Farms, which are located near Bennett and Lindon in eastern Colorado. Their primary crop is wheat, but they also farm corn, millet, sunflowers and cattle feed. The farm has been in Kalcevic’s husband’s family since it got its start near Denver in the 60th Avenue and Pecos Street area in 1898. It has been at the Bennett location since 1952.

“I love that it’s something we can do as a family,” Kalcevic said. “It takes a team to do what we do. In this country, it’s families that make up the farms.”

In April 2002, Kalcevic left her career as a project and product manager with Horizon Software to stay home with her two children. It was then that she slowly started picking up some tasks involving the operations of the farm. And now, she is an integral part of it.

Since the beginning of farming, women have been involved with the family farm behind the scenes — cooking, cleaning, bookkeeping, Kalcevic said.

“But because it’s always been men in the equipment and running the machinery, it’s been assumed that it’s men running the farm,” she added.

However, in today’s world, there are more women operating farms and pursuing high-end careers in the agriculture industry.

“The independent female can go out

Suspect in Centennial slaying arrested after car chase Jacqueline Lucero crashed in Aurora after lengthy pursuit

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The suspect in the fatal shooting of a 30-year-old man in Centennial was arrested the morning of Nov. 6, a week after the crime, the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office said in a news release.

Jacqueline Lucero, 34, was taken into custody in Denver after she crashed in Aurora following a car chase, according to the release.

The FBI’s Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Fugitive Task Force developed information about Lucero’s location near West 72nd Avenue and Federal Boulevard the morning of Nov. 6 before Lucero eluded officers in a car.

Lucero was seen driving in the area of Quebec Street and East

56th Avenue and led Denver Police Department officers on a pursuit throughout Denver, unincorporated Arapahoe County and Aurora until the car she was driving crashed in the area of East Alameda Avenue and South Potomac Street, the news release said.

Officers took her into custody after a short foot chase.

Lucero Lucero is being held on a warrant for first-degree murder. Additional charges related to the Nov. 6 incident are pending, the sheriff ’s office said.

The shooting happened at 5:05 p.m Oct. 30 in the 300 block of East Highline Circle in Centennial in a parking lot, according to the sheriff ’s office. The victim, Adolph Arellano, was taken to an area hospital, where he later died.

Lucero and the victim knew each other, and investigators do not believe it was a random crime, the sheriff ’s office said.

Season brings increase in wildlife/vehicle crashes STAFF REPORT

The migration of animals to their winter habitats can lead to a rise in animalvehicle collisions in fall and winter.

That is one reason the Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Colorado State Patrol are reminding motorists to be cautious as wildlife are on the move.

“As days shorten, temperatures drop and snow begins to fall, many wildlife species move from their high-elevation summer ranges in the mountains and plateaus and travel to lower elevation winter ranges in the foothills and valleys,” Mark Lawler, CDOT biologist, said in a news release. “The essential habitats for these animals are intersected by Colorado’s highways, forcing wildlife to cross roadways in search of food, water, space and shelter.”

State agencies track reported collisions with wildlife, and the statistics count all types of animals including small and large mammals from raccoon and skunk to moose and elk. However, the most significant number of animalvehicle collisions occur with deer.

Agencies reported that more than 4,600 deer were killed on Colorado highways in 2016. Most collisions occur from dusk to dawn, when wildlife are more active and, unfortunately, more difficult to see.

If a wildlife collision does occur, a Colorado State Patrol captain offers some advice.

“Drivers should brake, look and steer,” Capt. Adrian Driscol said in a

WHERE ANIMAL-VEHICLE COLLISIONS HAPPEN Deer specific animal-vehicle collisions for the Denver metro area in 2016 totaled 301. The highway corridors with significant numbers of these collisions include: • US 285, MP 230-250, Conifer to the CO 470 Interchange: 86 collisions (deer) • I-70, 250-270, Genesee Park to Denver: 38 collisions (deer) • I-25, MP 180-190, Castle Rock to 2 miles north of Castle Pines: 7 collisions (deer) • I-25, MP 161-180, 18-mile segment between south Castle Rock and Monument. This area, known as The Gap, is particularly susceptible to animal-vehicle collisions due to the rural nature of the area and Greenland Open Space, south of Larkspur. news release. “Brake, slow down and concentrate on keeping control of your vehicle. Look around and be aware of your surroundings, especially other vehicles in front or behind you. Then steer and move your vehicle to a safe position off the road.”

The best practice for drivers is to be aware, drive with caution and slow down, especially at night. While almost every road in both rural and urban areas will have wildlife attempting to cross the roadway, road kill statistics have pinpointed some highways that are more frequently used as corridors for wildlife on the move.

“If you see one deer or elk, more than likely you can expect others crossing the highway too,” Driscol said.

Topgolf for Kids’ Sake raises $160,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado STAFF REPORT

More than 600 golfers gathered for the first Topgolf For Kids’ Sake event to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado.

At the Centennial facility, golfers enjoyed three hours of competitions, played minuteto-win-it games and won prizes, while raising more than $160,000 to support the organization.

The event replaced the agency’s longstanding Bowl for Kids’ Sake event.

“While bowling was always a lot of fun, we felt it was time to try something new to add new energy to our fall fundraiser,” Dave Ryan, president and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters

of Colorado, said in a news release. “Topgolf is cutting edge technology, and you don’t have to be an expert golfer to partake in the fun.”

Money was raised through corporate sponsorships, and the event featured a crowdsourcing fundraising model allowing participants to solicit donations via an online platform.

To learn more about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado’s upcoming events, go to www.biglittlecolorado.org.

Toastmasters International, a nonprofit organization that works to improve public speaking and leadership skills, will feature the winner of its 2013 World Championship of Public Speaking as the keynote speaker of a regional conference in the Denver metro area.

The Nov. 10-11 event is open to the public with registration, and there are educational sessions, dinner and other events in addition to the keynote speech by Pres Vasilev, the 2013 world champion speaker.

Vasilev, who came to the United States from Bulgaria, joined Toastmasters’ clubs and competed in numerous speech contests to rise above thousands of contestants from 122 countries in the competition. He offers one-on-one speech coaching and a professional sales training program.

District 26 Toastmasters, which will host the event, is a region of almost 200 corporate and community clubs and more than 4,000 members of Toastmasters. It comprises Colorado, Wyoming and western Nebraska.

The event at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel at 7801 E. Orchard Road in Greenwood Village will be Toastmasters International’s final fall conference, a news release said. You can register for the event at d26toastmasters.org. The full conference price is $190, and there are other options available if you cannot attend the full conference, the site said.

Colorado exchange up and running for those wanting health insurance GUEST COLUMN

Diana DeGette

Now’s the time to go shopping — no, not for the holidays just yet, but for health insurance coverage.

It’s open enrollment season, a time to compare policies and find the coverage that works best for you and your family as the new year approaches.

Even if you’re already signed up for health insurance this year, it’s a good time to visit connectforhealthco.com and compare plans.

You might wind up saving some money. And for most people, financial assistance is available.

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, when you purchase insurance through the ex-

changes, you no longer can be charged higher premiums just for being a woman. And people with pre-existing health conditions won’t be charged more than anybody else — again, thanks to the ACA. Don’t be fooled by those who say the ACA is imploding — they’re doing that to undermine the system and drive people away. What’s more, the several attempts to dismantle the ACA in Congress this year have all failed.

The ACA was devised put affordable coverage within everyone’s reach, and it’s been doing so for millions of people. So many constituents have told me how it has helped

them avoid having to make the horrible choice between treating an illness and going broke.

We can’t go back to those terrible days before the ACA. Enrollment in the exchange is simple — connectoforhealthco.com walks you through every step of the process. And it only takes a few minutes.

In Colorado, open enrollment lasts until January 12 — but why wait? Have a look at your options now, pick a plan that’s right for you, and spread the word!

as I skied the trees in silence and as I am instantly transported back to the bottom of the lift thinking about the cookies and the smiles on my children’s faces.

I remember the happy and cherished moments shared there on the mountain and in the village with the love of my life.

Our happiness in our yesterdays plays such an important part in our happiness today. And as Jim Rohn points out in his quote above, happiness is designed for the present. It is so easy to get frazzled or down as we try and keep pace with the chaos and craziness around us. It really is too easy to become sad, if we allow ourselves to buy into the sadness. The good news is that there is a possible cure for our sadness, we call it happiness. We call it hope for a better and happier tomorrow.

The song “A Groovy Kind of Love,” covered by Phil Collins, said it this way: “When I’m feeling blue, all I have to do, is take a look at you, then I’m not so blue …” What is it you can look at to not feel so blue?

What memory do we have from yesterday that is so powerfully happy it can turn today’s sad day around?

You see, we don’t really get any more yesterdays, but we get plenty of todays and all of the tomorrows we can imagine.

And in each one of our todays, in our current situation or condition, we can all find something to be happy about. And it’s probably just not in our memories, it is probably sitting right in front of us. It’s opportunity, it’s a smile, it’s our favorite current song, it’s a new business, it’s a new acquaintance, it is faith, it is hope, and it is love.

This is all well and good you might say, and you might ask: “But how can I know that I will be happy tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or in five years?”

Great question and I am glad you asked. There is no doubt that tough times, crisis, and sadness or difficult

moments will creep into everyone’s life. It happens. When that does happen, when those times come, we can still find happiness, even in our melancholy moments.

And we would also do well to remember that happiness in our future is a choice.

Happiness is an attitude. To prepare for a happy future, we need to remember our happy places, happy moments, and happy memories of yesterday. We need to build upon our happy moments and experiences of today, storing them away and building up our happy muscles for all of our tomorrows.

Let’s explore practicing happiness in a potentially unhappy world. The person who dreads going to their office because it is stressful and unhappy can find happiness in the fact that they have a job right now.

And remembering that when looking for a new job, no one ever hires unhappy people. The person who is sad visiting the hospital can experience happiness watching as the nurses and therapists helping patients are actually bringing relief and comfort to the patients in their care.

Certainly there are situations that call for a less happy appearance and approach, and we can all relate to those moments and understand the sensitivity that we feel in those situations.

So how about you? Where is your happiness found in your yesterdays?

Where is your happiness found today?

Are you prepared for the future and preserving your attitude of happiness?

I would love to hear each story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we build upon our happiness of yesterday, nurture our happiness today, it will be a happy tomorrow and a better than good week as well.

Two area Veterans Day events scheduled Ceremonies scheduled at Fort Logan and in Littleton on Nov. 11

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two Veterans Day ceremonies, one in Littleton and one at Fort Logan National Cemetery, will be held on Nov. 11 to honor those who have served or are serving in the military.

The Littleton ceremony will be held at the World War II memorial at Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St., and the other ceremony will be held at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd. Both ceremonies will begin at 11 a.m.

The Littleton ceremonies are sponsored by Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George C. Evans American Legion Post 103.

The ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery are sponsored annually by District 10, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary and are held in the open area adjacent to the lake and at the base of the main flagpole. There will be a VFW honor guard representing many of the metro area posts to present the colors as well as the flags from their posts.

The keynote speaker at the Fort Logan ceremony will be Colorado

An honor guard salutes as Jack Grandman plays “Taps” at Littleton’s Veterans Day ceremony last year at the city’s World War II Memorial in Ketring Park.

FILE PHOTO Lt. Gov. Donna Lynn, and Colorado National Guard Brig. Gen. Michael Jay Willis will deliver the Veterans Day address.

As part of the ceremony a ceremonial wreath and flowers will be placed at a symbolic headstone. That will be followed by the traditional 21-gun salute. An array of horn players will be stationed around the lake and will play the echo version of “Taps.”

November weather is fickle and can turn bad as it has the last two years.

If that happens again this year the ceremony will be held at the planned time inside at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644, 2680 W. Hampden Ave. The nation began honoring veterans in 1926 when Armistice Day was held for the first time to remember the event that ended the World War I and honor those who served. That is when the tradition began to hold the ceremony on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the same time day and month that the agreement to

cease fighting went into effect in 1918, spelling an end to World War I. In 1938, it was declared a national holiday. In its early history, Armistice Day was focused on honoring World War I veterans. In the early 1950s, Congressman Edwin Rees of Kansas proposed changing the name of the holiday to Veterans Day and making it a time to honor all those who served in the armed forces and in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill, making Nov. 11 Veterans Day.

pace, the final frontier.

While that’s a frontier most of us won’t have the chance to explore, two-thirds of Earth has the next best thing — open water for scuba diving.

“Just like in space travel, you get that same weightlessness and sense of exploration when you dive into the ocean,” said Derek Prosser, owner of Underwater Phantaseas, which is celebrating 35 years in Lakewood.

“There’s something new to see every time I dive.”

Despite being a landlocked state, Colorado is home to a large number of avid divers. According to the Colorado Ocean Coalition, a nonprofit with the goal of inspiring residents to promote healthy oceans through education and community involvement, Colorado has more certified scuba divers than any other state.

And owners of the many scuba shops in the metro area know why.

“We have the long cold winters that people want to escape in someplace warm,” said Fred Halcomb, owner of Arvada’s Coral Key Scuba and Travel shop. “We have a major hub airport, and are just a five-hour flight from some of the best diving. We have a lot of transplants from warm places.

And Colorado is a very fit place, so people who live here are looking for

COURTESY OF ONE WORLD DIVE AND TRAVEL

STEPS TO BECOMING A CERTIFIED SCUBA DIVER Being a certified diver means that person is able to fill their own tanks or have their tanks filled by scuba shops, and is a lifelong certification.

Most dive shops have flexible options for students to complete the steps necessary to becoming a certified diver.

Costs will vary, but the average cost to become certified ranges from $400 to $600.

The three steps are: • Independent study — First, divers have to do some studying, either through approved books or online materials, on safe diving, the proper equipment and diving procedures.

• Pool dives — Most scuba diving stores have

a pool on site, or a partner pool they work with, where new divers learn how to set up their equipment, get a sense of the weight in the water, and other skills.

• Open-water dives — The final step includes four dives in open-water environments, where students take everything they learned in the first two steps and apply them. There are various locations in Colorado these dives can be completed at, as well as options in neighboring states like New Mexico and Utah.

While there are some places to dive in Colorado during the summer months — like Chatfield Reservoir, Jefferson Lake, and even the Downtown Aquarium — most people who come into area scuba shops are preparing for a trip somewhere warm — think Fiji, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Because of this fact, most scuba shops have a travel agent component, and many organize group guided trips with customers and staff.

“The most popular place we see is Cozumel in Mexico,” said Brian Miller, owner of One World Dive and Travel in Greenwood Village. “One of the best things about diving is it’s a great reason to travel to some beautiful places in the world.”

Training and education are key parts of any safe and successful dive trip, and to that end, most dive shops offer classes, pools for practice, and guided dives to get scuba certified.

Many facilities have their own pools for training, and work with people who are reluctant to take to the water.

Many first-time divers also have fears about pressure on their ears, claustrophobia and panicking once they get underwater.

“Taking people who are afraid is my absolute favorite thing to do,” Halcomb said. “It takes a little bit of time to get past those fight-or-flight responses, especially since you’re not used to being in water in breathing, but we take it as slow as is necessary to get our students comfortable.”

The youngest a person can be certified is 10 years old, and divers can be active well into their 80s.

“The water is the great equalizer, and we do a lot of work with patients at Craig Hospital,” said Scott Taylor with A-1 Scuba & Travel Aquatics Center in Littleton. “There’s a SEE SCUBA, P17

ho doesn’t need a little inspiration now and then?

Even just a little inspiration at the right time can make all the difference when you’re facing both professional and personal challenges, or when you’re struggling and in need of encouragement. Inspiration leads to creativity, determination, and a renewal of passion.

For years, TED Talks have been inspiring millions of Youtube viewers, and now the organization is bringing its speakers and illuminating discussions COMING Denver with the ATTRACTIONS to TEDxMileHigh’s “Wonder” festival from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 11. The event, in the Bellco Theatre at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver, will host more than 5,000 attendees listening to Clarke Reader 17 speakers. Individual tickets range from about $40 to $100, and group discounts are available.

“Wonder activates our curiosity and stirs our imagination,” said Jeremy Duhon, founder and curator of TEDxMileHigh, in a statement. “Colorado is the perfect place to bring together maverick thinkers, explorers, creators, and innovators. Through the power of big ideas and authentic connection, we’ll observe closer, investigate deeper, and propel our collective consciousness forward.”

There will be a speaker for every interest — atmospheric scientist Brian Toon, author and poet Dominique Christina, interstellar correspondent Douglas Vakoch, social justice advocate F Tamika D. Mallory, space entrepreneur James Orsulak and urban futurist Beth Mosenthal are just a handful of those will be making presentations.

In addition to the speakers, attendees will be able to wander through the Exhibitions Lounge, which will showcase technology demonstrations, groundbreaking products from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, The Optera Group Virtual Reality Experience and E-Bikes.

Flight For Life to receive Spreading Wings Award Nation’s original air ambulance service to celebrate 45th anniversary at gala STAFF REPORT

Flight For Life Colorado will receive the Spreading Wings Award, given annually by Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.

Since 1972, Flight For Life Colorado has been a symbol of service and sacrifice for the Rocky Mountain region. In its 45-year history, the nation’s original air ambulance service has transported more than 125,000 infants, children and adults to receiving hospitals around Colorado and its surrounding states.

“As Colorado’s official air and space museum, it is our responsibility to preserve and highlight key contributors to Colorado’s aviation landscape,” said Wings Over the Rockies President and CEO John Barry.

“Flight For Life Colorado is an aviation icon and it is an honor to help them celebrate 45 years of service.”

The courage, determination and sacrifice shown by the men and women of Flight For Life will be honored at the Spreading Wings Gala on Nov. 11.

The evening will feature special stories of the rescuers and the rescued, opportunities to mingle with first responders, a showcase of the military’s relationship with Flight For Life and much more. The Silhouettes entertainment group, as seen on the television show “America’s Got Talent,” will perform several tributes.

misconception that to dive, you have to be super fit, but that’s just not the case.”

Everyone has a different story behind their love of diving — Prosser first got into it because he saw a poster while he was bored in algebra and Halcomb was in the Navy — but once they found their sea legs, there was no going back.

‘No matter where you go, it’s just awesome,” Taylor said. “When you’re diving, you become an ambassador to the underwater world, and when you dive with other people, all your differences disappear.”

Illustration exhibition appears in conjunction with Seuss show Littleton venue hosts collection of works from students at Arapahoe Community College

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In what appears to be an ideal combination at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, the Stanton Gallery’s November-December exhibit, which runs into January, is: “Line and Tone: A Closer Look at the Creative Process of Illustration,” with works

by Arapahoe Community College students who are learning the skills, while the Town Hall theater shows “Seussical,” directed by Bob Wells — the musical inspired by one of the most famous illustrators ever.

ACC’s Department of Multimedia, Graphic Design and Illustration, chaired by Tom DeMoulin, will show pieces by Cassandra Martinez, Christina Weed, Moises Fermin Pereira, Nick Frantz and Andrew Grulke through Jan. 8, 2018. A meet-the-artist reception is planned for Nov. 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

DeMoulin, who teaches Illustration I (MGD 207), was really helpful to the gallery organizers, Moira Casey and Karina Elrod — with added assistance from Photography Department Chair Angela Faris Belt.

We all are acquainted with Dr. Seuss’ quirky Cat in the Hat and his thoughtful elephant Horton and the Whos — and probably with Mayzie La Bird, who left her egg with Horton …

These students will show us how an illustrator might approach a project. Probably not one like

these beloved books — perhaps no one can really approach a look into that very special brain, belonging to Theodor Seuss Geisel, whose “Cat in the Hat,” with its limited vocabulary, could be read by a beginning reader, yet still be interesting.

We meet future illustrators here and the course description says: “Addresses methods and techniques used in the profession of illustration for advertising, brochures, books and other forms of printed communications.

Course concentrates on developing expertise in producing line and continuous tone black and white art with emphasis on design and the creation of art for reproduction.”

Nick Frantz writes that his journey to Littleton and ACC began in Minnesota, followed by Florida where he and his future wife decided they wanted to be closer to an outdoor lifestyle. That led to marriage near Lake Tahoe and then to Colorado where little River Ann was born. He has done CAD work, vet tech work, managed fast food restaurants — none satisfying the need for creativity. Three semesters at ACC, with editing work for college documents, lead him closer: drawing characters and painting abstracts.

Andrew Grulke, a Colorado native, grew up appreciating the wilderness and mountains — camping and snowboarding until he was struck by an illness that “rendered him legally blind and epilectic” and required a major lifestyle change. With adaptive technology, he was introduced to graphic design and “uses bright colors and simple shapes to convey the images in his memory as well as the images he now sees.”

Cassandra Martinez is a digital artist who lives in Golden. She grew up in Lakewood, studied art and graphic design in Chicago and New Mexico

“Line and Tone: A Closer Look at the Creative Process of Illustration” will be in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall, 2450 W. Main Street, Littleton, through Jan. 8, with a meet-the-artist reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 17. Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and during productions. (“Seussical” runs through Dec. 30.) 303-794-2787. and returned to continue her education in Colorado and Arapahoe Community College, as well as work as a digital artist at 211 Photography. Snakes, moons, mermaids, plant life and the female form are favorite subjects to portray in digital drawings, watercolor and photography. She “finds inspiration in exploring all ways of making marks and images.”

Moises Fermin Pereira was born in Venezuela and has a degree from the Caracas Design Institute (2010). He worked in the advertising industry and as a storyboard artist for Publicis Venezuela. A filmmaking degree from New York Film Academy followed in 2011. He is also a black belt instructor at Kurusan Jiu Jitsu in Parker. In addition to studying at ACC, he is designing and developing online courses for the Allied Health Careers.

Christina Weed, a Colorado native, is fascinated by animals and mythology. After a childhood brain injury, she was “enveloped with an enjoyment for drawing and being creative.” She progressed through many filled coloring books to filling sketchbooks, then discovered anime and a direction to a career in animation, self-teaching and accepting guidance from teachers. She finds the real world “a little too plain” and “strives to open others’ eyes to an entirely new world. To capture what only the imagination can see and guide the onlooker somewhere new.”

The concept is “Mountain Mexican,” Scarborough said. “We opened last December (a notably bad time to start a business) and have had growing pains … Still being discovered.”

The building, now locally owned by Bristlecone Construction, has been a furniture store; a printing and cobbler shop; offices and a lunchroom; and a bicycle shop that also carried tobacco, confectionery, sportsman’s goods and soft drinks In 1915, the Lux Theater opened and showed three silent films a week and the first talkie in 1928. It was later remodeled and called the Vogue Theater. (Dinner guest Darlee Whiting, who grew up in Castle Rock, recalled dates as a teen at the Vogue, closest movie theater to her hometown.) Most recently, for more than 40 years, it was Jose’s Restaurant, operated by longtime residents Jose and Phyllis Trujillo, until they retired.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tommy Scarborough, manager of The Alley restaurant on Littleton’s Main Street, talked with a large group of members of Historic Littleton Inc. on Oct. 30 about the history that took place within the restaurant’s walls — starting with Samuel Thaddeus Culp, who built the Culp Block, running from the corner of Prince Street halfway west on the block along Main Street in 1891-1892. It was Littleton’s first mall, Scarborough suggested. The Littleton Independent newspaper talked often about Culp’s many skirmishes in Littleton. “He was the town’s outspoken character,” it reported.

“The idea of a restaurant evolved — and is still evolving … We first just looked at a bar, with food trucks stop-

Littleton Inc. and Littleton’s city-appointed Historic Preservation Board with the 2017 Outstanding Achievement Award in recognition for their contribution to historic preservation in Littleton.

Scarborough said when they bought the building, it first became a shell. Then (Bristlecone) offices were planned — “in many shapes and forms.” The idea of Mexican food eventually prevailed and the indoor dining area is reminiscent of an alley, he pointed out — brick, with doors along the way. They discovered mellow old original brick on the west wall, which became part of today’s décor, filled with historic photographs and text. (Some text from the Independent is pretty funny.)

Zach and his wife, Jen, went on a mission, he said and consulted the Littleton Museum staff at length …

The existence of a former theater inspired the marquee treatment of the front wall on Main Street. A mural on a back patio wall also speaks to local history, as do touches throughout the interior.

Artist turns cement into objects of beauty Englewood man’s projects range from waterscapes to lamps

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The skilled hands and creative mind of Englewood resident Rick Beavers transform cement into works of art.

“I worked with stone as a mason for a lot of years,” he said. “In the ‘80s we moved to Las Vegas because there was no work around here. The guy I worked for a there did a lot of cement sculptures. The first time I did cement sculptures I found I could do things I never knew I could do. I still do stone work but now most of my work is cement sculptures.”

He owns and operates his Creative Rock Solutions. He specializes in creating custom projects in sculptured concrete, ranging from a small lawn waterfall to an extensive backyard recreation area.

“When I am invited to bid on a job I first meet with the owners to learn what elements they want included,” he said.

“I then go over the size and theme the owner wants me to create when I do the project in my mind. I then visualize the project in my mind as I create a model of my concept that I

show to the customer. If they accept the proposal, I go to work.”

He said all his projects are made of cement. He sculpts the creation out of cement using wire and rebar for strength when it is needed.

“None of the projects are just gray cement,” the Lincoln High School graduate said. “Each project has a theme and I paint the concrete to represent the wood and rocks that fit into the theme of the project.”

He said his home is his test area and it is full of his creations. One of the creations is the headboard of his bed.

“We wanted a headboard on our bed,” he said. “So I went to work while my wife was at work creating our concrete headboard and painted part of it with a forest scene.”

He said he created a few sculptures and recently decided he wanted to make a couple of projects he would enter in the annual Englewood Art Show, held to provide amateur artists a venue to display their works.

“One of the projects I entered in the art show was a lamp,” he said. “I have made lamps for the house but this is a unique project. I painted much of the lamp to look like rocks. Then I created an eagle out of cement for the top of the lamp and painted it the appropriate colors. I thought it came out well.”

He said he really enjoys his work and plans to continue both the custom projects and perhaps a few artworks as long as he is able.

olleyball is a sport that I never connected with, probably because of my introduction decades ago in elementary school. Half of the physical education class was stationed on each side of the net and I never was able to touch the ball. So obviously I had no feel for the game. However, after watching girls play volleyball the past few years, I have OVERTIME a new appreciation for the sport.

The all-classification Colorado State High School Volleyball Championships will be Nov. 10-11 at the Denver Coliseum and it will provide a chance for fans to watch some Jim Benton remarkable athletes.

It appears that more girls are being drawn to volleyball instead of basketball.

According to National Federation of State High School Associations national participation figures from 2016-17, there were 444,779 volleyball players compared to 430,368 basketball players.

In Colorado, there were 9,446 volleyball participants with 7,082 volleyball athletes.

Several area high school coaches offered opinions about the participation spike of girls volleyball, and topping the reasons was the idea that the game is more fun.

Also volleyball is less physical than basketball and involves less running. The growth of club teams initiating youngsters to the game has spurred interest.

Plus volleyball can be played on three courts hardwood, sand and grass.

One thing for sure, there will be plenty of excitement and cheering from players on the court at the state tournament.

There will definitely be some taller girls and some shorter, but most have the quickness, vertical leaping ability, agility and mental toughness to play.

One warning for those watching matches for the first time. Don’t head to the concession stands during a set that might appear to be lopsided or over. Momentum swings in volleyball happen as fast as one can change the television channel with the remote control. A five-point run by one team can be countered by a sevenpoint run by the opposition.

Everybody enjoys watching the spikes of attackers, the accurate passes of a setter and the acrobatic digs on defense, but serves and serve receiving are two of the most important and sometimes overlooked parts of the game.

And there is also strategy involved in volleyball, but I’ll save comments of that for another day after I watch a few more matches and learn more.

Mustangs, Bruins fare well at state gymnastics meet

Ponderosa and Cherry Creek teams come in seventh and eighth, respectively

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ponderosa finished seventh and Cherry Creek finished eighth in the team standings at the Nov. 2 Class 5A state gymnastics meet at Thornton High School.

Pomona won its third straight firstplace trophy with a score of 188.075.

Ponderosa finished with a score of 179.050 and Cherry Creek posted a score of 176.475.

Ponderosa coach Lisa Fischer said the meet was a good one for her team.

“We have a great team that broke the school record for the best score at a meet. It was a great meet for us and it was a lot of fun,” Fischer said. “During the week we had to train before state, we were able to focus on the goals we had set for ourselves, the girls focused on those goals and they came through with outstanding performances.”

Cherry Creek coach Jan Bess Steward said she is very proud of her young gymnasts earning eighth place in the team standings.

“All our seniors on last year’s team graduated in June so we had to rebuild our team. But we had a good foundation of returning gymnasts. We have 35 on the team and only 14 who are new this season,” Steward said. “The girls performed well. We came into state ranked eighth and we finished eighth. We have young gymnasts we expect back next season so we feel Cherry Creek will continue to be a strong program.”

As the name indicates the all-around champion is the gymnast with the highest total score for performances on the uneven parallel bars, the balance beam, the vault and the floor exercise.

Bruins gymnast Ana George was fifth in the final all-around standings with a score of 38.175 and Ponderosa’s Katherine Compton finished sixth with a score of 37.975.

The Nov. 2 meet also included competition to determine the gymnasts who advance to the Nov. 4 individual event championships at Thornton High School.

Compton finished third in the floor exercise. She won the floor exercise individual championship in the event at the Nov. 4 meet as she posted a score of 9.825. Kaylie Berens of Pomona was second with the same score but Compton took first place on the tie breaker.

She also finished fourth in vault.

George placed in three events at the individual championships. She was second in vault, fifth in floor exercise and sixth on the uneven parallel bars.

George said when she was young she was doing forward rolls down the stairs and climbing on book cases so her parents first put her in dance class and gymnastics when she was 6.

“I compete with my high school team and I compete in club gymnastics,” she said. “I tried some other sports but they weren’t for me.

“I did take a year off from high school gymnastics last year and I was bouncing off the wall wanting to do something so I tried pole vaulting. It was fun, but gymnastics is my sport.”

Heritage gymnasts competed in the Nov. 2 meet. The team didn’t finish in the top 10 and no Eagles gymnast qualified for the Nov. 4 individual event championship meet.

and abilities to agriculture through educational programs, community projects and special events. Since 2009, CALF has served more than 19,000 children, Fox said, and annually, between 10 and 15 students in 4-H or members of Future Farmers of America raise livestock at the foundation’s working educational ranch, Lowell Ranch, in Castle Rock.

“Every person on the planet relies on agriculture in some form,” Fox said.

“We need everyone to be thinking about our future and how to produce healthy, safe food.”

Both Danell Kalcevic and Peppler are volunteers with a group called CommonGround, which is a national grassroots movement designed to help bridge the gap between the women who grow food and the women who buy it.

For the most part, it is still primarily women who do the grocery shopping for most households in the U.S., Peppler said.

Therefore, she added, women “are a keen ear of knowing what consumers want.”

CommonGround volunteers share their personal experiences, science and research to help consumers sort through the growing number of myths and misinformation surrounding food and farming.

A greater understanding Most people today are between four and five generations removed from agriculture, Fox said. She added that unlike in the past, it is uncommon for the majority of today’s children to have a grandparent who grew up on a farm.

This means that people are becoming “less and less aware of where their food comes from,” Fox said.

Most of today’s society is far removed from producing its own food, Kalcevic said. “The further removed we are, the more fearful we become” of the food we eat, she said. “CommonGround helps consumers understand that farmers are regular people who are eating the same food that everybody else is serving their families.”

There are a lot of misconceptions out there about what farmers and ranchers do, said Tucker, who lives on a smallacreage ranch near Bennett and raises sheep and horses.

But overall, man or woman, “everybody in the agriculture industry wants a safe food supply,” Tucker said.

Although production agriculturalists are a small percentage of the U.S. population, she said, no matter if you’re in Denver or New York, through social media, you can connect with someone who knows a rancher or farmer.

And most likely, they would be willing to bring you out to their ranch or farm to help you better understand the industry and where your food comes from, Tucker said.

“We’d love to show you what we do,” she said, “because we’re pretty proud of it.”
