Season brings increase in wildlife/vehicle crashes STAFF REPORT

Crowds enjoy last year’s Starlighting festivities.

Starlighting festivities planned in Castle Rock Holiday-season tradition brings town together STAFF REPORT

It’s time again for the annual lighting of the star atop Castle Rock. This year’s celebration features nonprofit booths, strolling entertainers, live entertainment, Santa visits and outdoor ice skating at Rink at the Rock.

Starlighting festivities run from 2-7 p.m. Nov. 18 in historic Wilcox Square.

The ceremony begins at 5 p.m., with the lighting of the star happening about 5:30 p.m. The walking guide includes the event information.

Entertainment at The Emporium will be provided by Shauna Chanda and Darren Rahn at 2 p.m.; Biff Gore, “The Ambassador of Soul,” at 3 p.m.; and Hazel and the Hazel Miller Band at 4 p.m. and again immediately following the lighting of the star.

The 45-foot-tall electric star lights up the night from the week before Thanksgiving until the end of the National Western Stock Show in January. It has been a Christmas tradition in Castle Rock since 1936, with only one break from 1941-45.

When the country was committing all its resources to win World War

II, lighting the star was not a luxury the town could not afford. When the war ended with the announcement of the Japanese surrender, the star was converted to a V for victory and people celebrated into the night on Aug. 14, 1945.

The star was again illuminated Dec. 7, 1945, and it has been lit every Christmas season since. The star was rebuilt in 1949, and other repairs have been made to the structure in the succeeding years.

For more about the history of the star, or about the event, go to https:// castlerock.org/castle-rock-starlight ing/ Free shuttle rides Many roads leading into downtown will be closed from 1-6 p.m. during Starlighting. Free shuttle rides will be offered from 1:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Shuttle stops are at Douglas County High School, 2842 Front St.; Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Drive; and Castle View High School, 5254 N. Meadows Drive.

Shuttles are location specific; make sure to get on the bus you arrived on.

In addition, parking garage levels 1-3 are open during the event, and a limited number of handicap spaces will be available at the Douglas County Building, north side.

The migration of animals to their winter habitats can lead to a rise in animal-vehicle 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 animal-vehicle 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 news release. “Brake, slow down and concentrate on keeping control

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.

Highlands Ranch school earns national credential Fox Creek Elementary rewarded for ‘rigorous’ effort

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fox Creek isn’t your typical elementary school. At the start of each day, students in classrooms sit in a circle, greet one another and analyze a quote that promotes a life skill. They spend time in the community, studying wildlife in the Backcountry Wilderness Area, giving tours at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, pulling noxious weeds at an outdoor education facility in Larkspur.

“Nothing tells a kid that their learning is important better than when they see that it makes a positive impact,” said principal Brian Rodda.“When you cast a greater audience, it really turns on the light bulbs for kids.”

Fox Creek, 6585 Collegiate Drive in Highlands Ranch, is now a model for other schools.

On Oct. 29 at a ceremony in Chicago, the national school network EL Education — which stands for exploratory learning — selected Fox Creek as one of six schools nationwide to receive the EL Education Credential. The honor, which is held by 33 schools total,

recognizes the school’s achievement in three areas: mastery of knowledge and skills, character and high-quality student work.

EL Education started in 1991 as the result of a partnership between Harvard Graduate School of Education and Outward Bound, USA. The learning model combines philosophies of Outward Bound — character, teamwork, courage and compassion — with an “active approach to learning crafted by leading Harvard scholars,” its website says.

EL Education partners with 152 schools — many of which are the highest-performing public schools in their cities — across 30 states, according to EL Education.

In 2012, when the school was looking for a way to set itself apart from other neighborhood schools, Fox Creek implemented EL Education, said Angel Wolf, who opened Fox Creek and is now an instructional coach. It provided a structure, model and philosophy that staff and leadership supported.

“We knew we were a really good school,” Wolf said, “but we needed to find something that would move us forward so we wouldn’t get stagnant.”

Fox Creek’s curriculum is based on “learning expeditions.” The term describes a topic taken from content standards that integrates projects, questions, products created for an SEE SCHOOL, P4

Hickenlooper budget would boost school funding Governor’s plan calls for increasing spending by about $343 per student

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT.ORG

Colorado would give school districts more money next year and the state would make a dent in its school funding shortfall under Gov. John Hickenlooper’s proposed 2018-19 budget released Nov. 1.

If the plan is approved by state lawmakers, school districts would see an increase of about $343 per student, or an increase of about 4.5 percent.

The funding proposal would reduce the gap between how much the state gives schools and what it should fund its schools according to an existing formula.

That funding shortfall, commonly called the negative factor, would decrease by $70 million.

The $28.7 billion budget proposal also seeks to increase the state’s savings, make a large investment in higher education to “moderate” college tuition increases and address issues with the state’s troubled pension system.

Another significant education piece of the budget proposal: an $11 million request to provide charter schools authorized by the state’s Charter School

audience, fieldwork, experts and service.

Fifth-grade teacher Paul Thomas’ expedition is human rights. His students are reading articles and researching topics. They designed an online survey asking individuals basic questions about human rights that has garnered 230 results, which they will analyze, he said.

Multiple teachers and leaders of Fox Creek describe the process of earning the EL Education Credential as “rigorous.” A leadership team, made up of teachers, spent months analyzing data, reviewing instructional practices and interviewing students and parents. They compiled their evidence into a two-hour presentation for the director of EL Education earlier this year.

“You can say you’re doing it,” said Thomas, “but we have provided the evidence that shows we are doing it and doing it successfully.”

The school joins three other schools in Colorado — Downtown Denver Expeditionary, Odyssey School of Denver and William Smith High School in Aurora — that have the credential.

“We are providing the best and wellrounded education for our kids,” said Wolf. “We are developing character and global citizens that we need in our country right now.”

Institute with extra dollars to compare with what districts will be required to share with their own charter schools.

A law passed earlier this year requires school districts to share a portion of local tax measures with charter schools in their districts, but those authorized by the state were not included in the plans. Now charter school advocates are looking to bring up their funding too.

“We’re starting an equalization process with an $11 million increase in this budget,” Henry Sobanet, the state’s budget director, said during a

briefing with reporters.

The governor is also planning to set aside $10 million from the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund for work to reverse teacher shortages.

A report requested by lawmakers will be released in December and is expected to include a plan for strategies that will help attract and retain more teachers.

“We anticipate a significant focus on the challenges rural communities face in attracting, retaining and developing the qualified teachers needed to support positive student outcomes,”

the budget proposal states.The proposal was sent to the Joint Budget Committee for their consideration. A final budget is usually approved in the spring.

Last year, the final budget approved by lawmakers was considerably different than what the governor had proposed.

The November budget proposal last year expected an increase in the gap between what schools would get and what they actually receive, but in the end, lawmakers were able to keep the shortfall from growing.

‘HalloWilcox’ is school district’s treat for kids Youngsters collect candy at spooky administrative building in Castle Rock

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 900 elementary school students assembled at the Douglas County School District’s administrative building on Oct. 31 for an unforgettable Halloween. Inside, ghosts, witches, superheroes, trolls and other creative characters replaced administrative staff. Rooms turned into other realms: a scene out of the children’s book “Goodnight Moon,” a set from “Wizard of Oz,” a den of friendly witches, a room of ghosts.

“This is,” 7-year-old Cole Edwards shouted, “the best Halloween ever.”

It was the district’s first-ever “HalloWilcox,” held at the Wilcox Building, 620 Wilcox St. in Castle Rock, for students of Castle Rock Elementary School and Southridge Elementary School to dress up in costumes, explore the interactive building and collect bags of treats.

The schools, along with Sedalia Elementary, are among the top three in the district with the most free and reduced lunches.

Interim superintendent Erin Kane orchestrated the day, which didn’t use any district funds. Staff purchased their own costumes and decorations.

“It’s all about the kids,” said Kane, who was dressed from head to toe as the good witch from “Wizard of Oz”.

“This is a great reminder for all of us why we do what we do,” Kane said.

Staff worked together to coordinate costumes and themes. The human re-

Not just a man’s job FR EE

Female farmers hold important roles in agriculture industry

CH E CK I NG

Here. There. Everywhere.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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 and start her own farm,” said Colleen Peppler, a retired educator who is a partner of Peppler Farms in Weld County. “It doesn’t have to be a man.”

The entire Kalcevic family is involved with the operations of the family farm.

Pictured are Tabor, 19, and Asia, 16. Tabor is studying soil and crop science and agriculture business at CSU. COURTESY PHOTO Leveling the playing field According to the latest Census of Agriculture — which is conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture — 30 percent of the nation’s farmers were women in 2012, up from 27 percent a decade earlier. These female farmers controlled 7 percent of the farmland in the U.S. The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years, and the 2017 census will be done this winter.

In Colorado, the USDA states that women farmers make up 37 percent of the state’s producers. There are 21,443 women farmers in Colorado who farm more than 13 million acres.

“We’re starting to see a very level playing field,” said Jennifer Tucker, the small acreage agent for CSU Extension in Adams County. “Ranchers and farmers within the agriculture industry don’t see it as a man’s industry.”

Peppler Farms consists of four locations in Weld County near Mead. In August, one of the farms was honored at the Colorado State Fair by the Colorado Department of Agriculture and History Colorado as a Centennial Farm — meaning the farm has been in the family for 100 years. Peppler Farms produce corn used for livestock feed, wheat, alfalfa hay and beer barley for Coors.

hands-on with farm operations since she was about 13, she said. In fact, she and her two sisters were her father’s “harvest crew,” Peppler said.

And Kalcevic’s two daughters, Tabor, 19, and Asia, 16, are also very much involved in their family farm’s operations.

“Often, when people think of a farmer, they think of a man,” Tabor Kalcevic said. But “when women step into these roles, they can really shine.”

Tabor is currently a sophomore at CSU in Fort Collins pursuing a bachelor’s degree with a double major in soil and crop science and agriculture business. She hopes to someday become the CEO of Kalcevic Farms.

“Women bring a different perspective to any industry,” Tabor Kalcevic said. Different, in a good way though, she added. “A strong work ethic is what gets you there.”

More than ranching, farming There is a lot of interest among young women wanting to enter a career in agriculture, said Brooke Fox, CEO of the Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation, also known as CALF. Career fields pertaining to agriculture are just about endless, she said. Careers can be anything from veterinarians, livestock producers and crop scientists to lawyers, media relations, mechanics and those who develop the new technologies for modern-day equipment, said Fox, who grew up on a cattle ranch near Larkspur.

“It’s not just ranching and farming,” she said. “No matter what your interests are, you can find a place in agriculture.”

CALF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people of all ages 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 surround-

ing food and farming.

“We’re the ones who start conversations in the grocery store,” Peppler said. “This is our career. And we take the responsibility of growing the nation’s food very seriously.”

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, Kalcevic 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 small-acreage 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.”

Thousands of free meals share love along with nutrition The Rock Church is venue for partnership that is blessing to community

BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Over the last year and a half, volunteers have served more than 20,000 free meals at The Rock Church in Castle Rock.

When Douglas County’s Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program expressed its difficulty in finding a venue to help the community, The Rock’s pastor, Mike Polhemus, stepped forward.

“We do it as a means to reach out to those that are struggling in our community. For The Rock, it’s about reaching outside the walls of our church and being the literal hands and feet of Jesus,” said Sylvia Barahona, The Rock’s children’s pastor.

TANF funds a portion of the Wednesday night meals in addition to necessities like groceries, gasoline cards and housing. At the church, items such as gently used clothing and groceries are available in what is dubbed the “blessing room.”

“We like to refer to our blessing room as our mini boutique,” said Lindy Killmer, the pastor who heads the “care counselors.”

About 40 volunteers come in to work alongside a chef every Wednesday morning, help serve, or clean up afterward. Volunteers range from teens to adults, and come from The Rock or area churches, like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“We offer a full-course buffet-style dinner, with tables to sit,” Barahona said.

“We also allow to-go meals as well.”

Volunteers at The Rock developed response teams to help guide the needy through available resources such as medical care, child care and housing.

“It’s difficult to see the need in Douglas County because it is so well hidden. Oftentimes there are families that

A group of seniors from the Auburn Ridge community come faithfully every week. The group includes an

87-year-old who drives himself every week, and celebrated his birthday, but also mourned the loss of his wife with this community.

“This chef-prepared community gathering is regularly attended by individuals from all walks of life,” Killmer said.

Killmer said two women who live in their car come regularly for the meal, socializing and gathering necessities for the upcoming week. Another woman, a single mother, comes weekly with her two children, mainly for the community.

“The meals serve as a great first touch to get people a free dinner, but more importantly, connection,” Barahona said.

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 slowmoving 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.

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

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 previously 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-In-Time 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-intime count, 459, dwarfs that of the next-highest 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 SEE VET, P15

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

CLUBS

A faulty process The old saw that the proof is in the pudding bears directly on current legislative deliberations.

The partisan, secret and frenetic development of budget and tax legislation is no way to make a pudding or a law.

With things as complex and lengthy as these reform efforts, how can most Americans possibly respond to the proposals intelligently?

Have all members of Congress had time to read the proposals, much less determine what the shortand-long term consequences might be? This legislation needs careful deliberation that takes time and extended dialogue.

An example of hasty, ill-conceived legislation is the budget bill’s approval of grossly expensive and ecologically destructive energy development in “America’s Serengeti,” Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Conservative business journalist Gregory Morris writes, “This makes the plan to assume a billion dollars of revenue from ANWR in the federal budget fiscally negligent…phantom revenue.”

John Stansfield Larkspur

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

about each moment of snow falling on me 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?”

Highlands Ranch, Roxborough, and Lone Tree Demo-

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.

VET FROM PAGE 11

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 said, saved his life. In 2013, he met a veteran from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1 at a King Soopers, who gave him resources he needed to get back on his feet.

“They really brought me in, gave me another home when I really didn’t even have one,” said Sprankel, who sometimes asked to stay in other people’s homes.

“My pride was kicking in — I didn’t want to ask for help, and that was (wrong).”

Now, as a volunteer for the VFW, he reaches out to people who might have the same prideful mentality as he once did about not accepting help.

“They gotta fill in that paperwork and (get working),” said Sprankel, who helps veterans in crisis and helps with disability claims and homelessness.

Being homeless opened Sprankel’s eyes to “what’s really going on here in Denver.”

“It’s not necessarily that people aren’t helping, but there’s only so much certain organizations can do,” Sprankel said.

On the public side, every county in Colorado has an officer like Westphal in Arapahoe County. Westphal helps link veterans to services like Medicaid and food assistance as well as housing options.

“The million-dollar question is, what can cities and communities do?” Westphal said.

Local governments should work with affordable housing developers to incentivize more affordable units in their areas, he added.

“Make the decision as a community to support the construction of low-income housing,” Lapidow, of the VA, said. “It is cheaper to house individuals than to leave them on the streets, and it’s the right thing to do.”

Diving a popular pastime for residents of landlocked Colorado

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

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.

active things to do.”

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

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.”

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.”

Center offers fleece of mind Antelope Alpacas hosts classes and stocks fibers, yarn, finished creations

BY BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After raising and loving alpacas for almost 10 years and learning all about the warmth and beauty of items made from alpaca fleece, Kate Blackburn said it seemed natural to bring the Antelope Alpacas Fiber Arts Center to Main Street in Elizabeth.

“We moved to 40 acres in the Elizabeth area in 2005 and looked into raising animals,” she said. “We spent about 18 months learning about alpacas.

“Through the study of them we realized the beauty of the animal, the beauty of the fiber and the fact no animal had to die to harvest the fibers.

So a few years ago we began raising alpacas.

“We started four alpacas and we now have 22 alpacas, three lamas and a horse that believes she is the mother of the whole herd.”

She said as they sheared the alpacas and learned about the beauty and versatility of yarn made from the fleece, it seemed a natural next step to open the shop on Main Street in Elizabeth about two years ago.

SEE FLEECE, P28

Kate Blackburn gathers fleece sheared from one of the alpacas from her farm as she explains that often the fleece is dyed different colors, like that in the container beside her, before it is spun into yarn that can be used to weave, crochet or knit projects. Blackburn and her husband raise alpacas on their ranch and she runs the Antelope Alpaca Fiber Arts Center on Main Street in Elizabeth. TOM MUNDS

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

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 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.”

She said she unexpectedly found when she opened the shop that it also provided an outlet for items local artisans have used yarn made from alpaca fiber to weave, crochet and knit — items ranging from hats and gloves to toys and blankets.

The fiber sheared from alpacas is a single color.

In the shop, Blackburn dyes the fibers so they can be spun into yarn in a wide variety of colors.

“Alpaca fiber is hollow so it can be used to make items that are very warm,” Blackburn said. “Another benefit of alpaca fiber is it contains no lanolin, which means people who are allergic to wool can wear items made of alpaca fiber.”

She said the interest in using alpaca fibers resulted in the decision to offer classes in working with alpaca fibers. Earlier this year the shop held a class in making wet felt fiber hats and, on Oct. 21, the shop held a basic weaving class.

“This is the first year we have offered classes and we are fortunate that Karen Kinyon, a fiber artist, alpaca farmer and a judge at alpaca shows, has agreed to teach our classes,” Blackburn said.

“Our space isn’t very big so we keep the classes to no more than five or six students. The class runs all day on Saturday and, if the class is large enough, a half day on Sunday.”

She said the October class is the final one for 2017 and plans are to develop a class schedule for several classes next year.

Students in the class learn to work with alpaca fiber yarn to weave or use other methods to complete a project during the class.

Mary Benedict took the Oct. 21 basic weaving class.

“I took the class because I have always wanted to learn weaving and there are few classes in weaving available,” the Franktown resident said. “The class

Kate Blackburn hugs an alpaca while her husband Charlie shears it. The couple raises alpacas on their Elizabeth ranch. Kate said as they learned about the warmth and beauty of items made from alpaca fibers it seemed natural for her to open the Antelope Alpaca Fiber Arts Center on Main Street in Elizabeth. The center carries yarn made from alpaca fibers plus a variety of items made of alpaca fibers, from toys and hats to scarves and blankets, many of them made by local fiber artists.

PHOTO COURTESY OF KATE BLACKBURN was more than I expected it would be. The class was small with just four students so each student got a lot of attention and help from the instructor. All the projects were designed so you finished them during the class and took home finished items.”

She made a table runner and said it was a lot of

fun.

“I really enjoyed working with alpaca fiber because it has such a nice feel and is warmer,” she said. “I also liked it because alpaca fiber has no lanolin so it is hypoallergenic which is important to me because I am allergic to wool fibers.”

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 OVERTIME play volleyball the past few years, I have a new appreciation for the sport.

The all-classification Colorado State High School Volleyball Championships will be Nov. 10-11 at the Denver Coliseum Jim Benton and it will provide a chance for fans to watch some 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 fivepoint run by one team can be countered by a seven-point 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 SEE BENTON, P35

Castle View is digging state volleyball appearance Sabercats rolled past opponents in regional play

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle View volleyball coach Scott Dowis was on the phone searching for an establishment in Castle Rock for his team to grab something to eat.

His team had just won the Region 3 tournament Nov. 4 at Castle View with 3-0 wins over Broomfield and Lakewood to earn a spot in the Nov. 10-11 Class 5A state tournament, which will be held at the Denver Coliseum.

Dowis hopes his team will be able to get together for another victory meal sometime after the state tournament in which four Continental League teams are among the 12 qualifiers, who will be divided into four, threeteam pools to determine the semifinalists.

State seedings and pool pairings were announced Nov. 6. Last season’s 5A finalists, state champion Fossil Ridge and runner-up Mountain Vista, are among the state-qualifying teams.

“The atmosphere of the

Castle View coach Scott Dowis talks to his team during a timeout on Nov. 4 at the Region 3 tournament held at Castle View. The Jaguars swept Broomfield and Lakewood to advance to the 5A state tournament that will be held Nov. 10-11 at the Denver Coliseum.

JIM BENTON regional will help prepare us for the state tournament,” Dowis said. “We were a little nervous at times and we didn’t play our best. Playing in environments like this is definitely what helps us.

“To be honest our competition at practice has been at a high level. Sometimes our practices are more competitive than the matches we play in. We have a lot of ma-

turity on our team. We have a lot of kids who play on a high level on club teams. The experience on our team is pretty deep.”

Castle View, with eight seniors among its 12 players, will be making its first state tournament appearance since 2013 and will bring a 21-4 record into the Coliseum.

“It was really important

to win the region since we do have eight seniors on the team and going to state for all of them will make their last year special,” said senior setter Lauren Lowry. “All the teams at state are competitive and we played competitive teams today. Every team is going to player harder at state. Our league was pretty tough and to see all the teams again that we already played

will be a good matchup.”

Castle View trailed in the first two sets against Broomfield but used six-point runs and went on to notch 25-22, 25-22 and 25-11 victories. The Sabercats lost four of their first six points on service errors in the first set against Lakewood, but used a couple more runs and played better to earn the state tournament ticket with 25-18, 25-21 and 25-8 wins.

Senior Kate Menz had a combined 24 kills and five aces in the two matches.

Sophomore Leanne Lowry was credited with 42 digs and older sister Lauren had a combined 79 assists, or an average of 13.1 per set.

“We didn’t play super great but we got it finished,” Lauren Lowry said.
