Donations to food bank flat as needs climb IFCS is scaling back offerings in face of influx of hungry people

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The shelves are starting to look a little thin at one of the south metro area’s biggest food banks.

Donations are flat at Integrated Family Community Services — formerly called Interfaith — while the numbers of people who need help just keep climbing, said outreach director Todd McPherson.

“We’re in real financial turmoil,” McPherson said. “We’re getting too poor to serve the poor.”

The agency has traditionally offered a wide range of services to low-income locals, including bus passes, gasoline vouchers, help paying for medications

and hearing aids, and utility bill assistance, but McPherson said the agency is scaling back or eliminating many of those programs to focus on core functions like making sure people stay fed.

While the agency’s budget has stayed flat at about $700,000 a year over the last decade, the number of people coming in for help has been steadily increasing by 2,000 to 5,000 a year, said program director Allison Taggart. The agency expects to help 20,000 people this year, she said.

“The need in the suburbs is very real,” Taggart said. “Just because someone’s housed and owns a car doesn’t mean they’re not struggling to stay fed.”

Despite the area’s boom economy, Taggart said, wages have remained relatively flat in the face of skyrocketing housing costs, pushing single parents, veterans, the elderly and people with disabilities to the margins.

City to continue looking at common-consumption license License would allow people to carry alcohol within established areas

BY NANCY PROFERA SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Like finance & Like finance & fl exible hours? flexible hours?

Possibly as soon as 2020 it may be legal for Denverites to carry open, alcoholic beverages from one liquorlicensed business to the next within established “entertainment district” boundaries set in the city.

This common-consumption area initiative has been studied by Denver Excise & Licenses, business representatives, the Downtown Denver Partnership, neighborhood groups and the public over the last few years, following a 2011 state statute authorizing local jurisdictions to license common consumption of alcohol.

From 2013-16, various concepts of how this might work in Denver were drafted by the city. None of these have advanced to Denver City Council for a vote, though. Meanwhile, other cities in the state have adopted commonconsumption initiatives including Au-

rora, Central City, Glendale, Greeley and Telluride.

Eric Escuderol, director of communications of Denver Excise and Licenses, said in an email that a “full presentation” of a proposed liquor common-consumption pilot program will soon go before the city council’s Business, Arts, Workforce and Aviation Services committee.

“If approved, the implementation of the license would not be effective until at least early 2020,” said Escuderol.

The initiative would start as a fiveyear pilot program with no limit on the number of licenses issued, he said.

He added that the Dairy Block alley downtown is a potential area where Denver’s proposed common consumption rules could work.

Stanley Marketplace in Aurora is an example of a site licensed for common consumption. About 12 on-site businesses share a common consumptionarea license. This allows patrons to walk with their open containers of alcohol from one business to the next.

The area is known as the Westerly Creek Entertainment District and runs along the Stanley property boundary at 2501 Dallas St.

FOOD BANK

Allison Taggart, the program director at Integrated Family Community Services, surveys sparse shelves at the group’s food bank.

Donations to the group are flat, Taggart said, but the number of people needing food assistance just keeps growing, forcing IFCS to scale back the services it offers.

DAVID GILBERT

FROM PAGE 1

The influx got worse this year when both HOPE and Cornerstone food banks in Englewood closed their doors, with many of their clients ending up at IFCS, McPherson said. About 40% of the clients being helped by IFCS are from Englewood, he said.

Climbing client loads mean the agency can’t get as closely involved in people’s lives as in the past, Taggart said.

“Our goal has always been to provide a hand up, not a handout,” Taggart said. “In the past that’s meant helping people pay rent or bills in times of dire need.”

But with those funds dwindling, Taggart said the agency is focusing on services like filling backpacks with school supplies for low-income kids.

“The idea is that if we can cover the cost of school supplies, you can put that money toward your car repairs, or toward getting those bills paid,” Taggart said.

The agency’s school supply assistance is a godsend to Mark Pacheco, an IFCS client and father of four growing kids.

“They need shoes all the time,” Pacheco said. “Bills start adding up.

If it weren’t for the backpacks we get here, worst-case scenario, the kids would just be going to school without supplies. When you can’t provide that stuff, as a parent, it makes you feel like a failure. It means so much to us.”

IFCS was hoping to jump-start its fundraising this summer with a new outreach campaign called One Can Feed, that included an advertising blitz with newspaper fliers, email blasts, radio ads and mailers.

The goal was to raise $30,000 in July and August, McPherson said, but halfway through August the campaign had netted just $11,000.

“If everyone who saw or heard it gave a dollar, that would equal about $130,000,” McPherson said.

Meanwhile, Taggart said, assistance from local, state and federal governments is spotty and dwindling.

Downstairs in the agency’s food bank, shelves of some staples like chicken noodle soup and canned corn are full, but McPherson said those don’t come close to providing real nutrition to people in need.

“It’s a lot of starch and salt,” McPherson said. “Nutrition is important. It’s closely tied to not just physical health, but mental health.”

as soon as they come in, Taggart said.

Keeping toiletries like shampoo and toilet paper on the shelves is hard too.

Many shelves are starting to go bare.

IFCS is always grateful for donations of food, Taggart said, though she said the agency can make better use of cash.

“There’s only so many cans of pumpkin we need,” Taggart said.

“We’re doing everything we can to address the need in our community.

We hope the community thinks what we’re doing is important and wants to help us do this work.”

CITY FROM PAGE 2

“Common consumption has been a great success at Stanley,” said Bryant Palmer, chief storyteller at Stanley. “Our visitors love being able to carry adult beverages throughout the marketplace, particularly while they shop at our collection of local boutiques.”

The city of Denver has been working toward creating a commonconsumption license of its own for a while. In 2017, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock requested that Denver Excise & Licenses renew its work to create a new license category for alcohol commonconsumption areas. In 2018, the concept progressed among meetings with various city departments and through feedback from the public during hearings.

At present, the city continues to work on a draft of the ordinance. As proposed by the city, these commonconsumption areas may form as “kiosks or separate rooms in a larger, enclosed space, some may be located in an alleyway shut off to traffic, and some may connect to several freestanding businesses.”

Christine O’Connor, a resident of Denver since 1981,an attorney and one of two co-chairs of Denver Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation

(INC), questions the origins of the push by the city for common consumption and wonders if the general public is even aware of the initiative.

“This new license category was not based on requests from neighbors,but based on input from businesses and the liquor industry.

I’m concerned people do not know this is happening,” she said. “I am also concerned that the new license category may have unintended consequences for neighborhoods located in proximity to these entertainment districts.”

O’Connor added that INC had several opportunities for input over the past three months and hopes the city has incorporated its suggestions in the new draft. These include limiting the pilot program to two years instead of five, limiting common consumption area ordinances to enclosed spaces, and that evidence of support from those who live in the neighborhood being considered must be submitted during the licensure process. “This is absolutely key,” said O’Connor.

Unlike special events licenses, which are already allowed in Denver, the common-consumption license allows existing liquorlicensed establishments to sell alcohol that may be consumed outside of the establishment’s licensed premises. Special event licenses are also temporary.

Age in Place with a Reverse Mortgage “I’ve lived in my home for over 30 years.

I didn’t want to leave it, and go where I didn’t know the neighbors. A reverse mortgage allowed me to have the security of staying in my home without a mortgage payment. What a relief!” KS, Denver Aging in place is a benefit to many seniors. The ability to maintain the familiarity with the neighborhood, and routine of life can reduce stress and add years.

For many seniors who are living longer, the question is, “How do I fund my longevity?” Spouses are thinking about what will happen when one of them passes away. Will the surviving spouse be able to stay in the home comfortably? The answer is often “Yes!” when a reverse mortgage has been put in place to ensure there is no mortgage payment and often, a sum of money available to the surviving spouse.

The bank never owns the home and the property may be willed to the heirs.

Because a reverse mortgage is FHA insured, it is a non-recourse loan. No one is saddled with debt because of the reverse

mortgage. As a financial tool, a reverse mortgage is a wise choice in many cases providing relief from financial pressure in the near-term, and greater financial security in the long-term.

“A reverse mortgage is basically a tax-free advance on your home equity,” writes Robert Massi. “For some people, a reverse mortgage can offer financial freedom to enjoy their later years without worrying about income. For others, it can provide much needed help for staying in their homes.” The money from a reverse mortgage can be used for any purpose.

MUSIC AT A TASTE OF COLORADO

FROM PAGE 1

The event began in 1983 to bring people together through food and music. Now, the festival is bigger than ever. USA Today ranked A Taste of Colorado No. 4 on its 2019 list of Best General Food Festivals.

KC and the Sunshine Band will headline the festival’s first night Aug. 31, along with Kool and The Gang and Grand Funk Railroad. Then Sept. 1 will be a day for country fans with Dwight Yoakam and Remus Tucker headlining. Monday will have a host of contemporary music from Toad the Wet Sprocket, American Idiot, Scott Stapp Voice of Creed and more. A total of 32 live bands and artists will perform. This year’s festival will have a larger main stage.

Cuisines at A Taste of Colorado range in style and flavors, including specialty foods inspired from Mexico, Jamaica, New Orleans and some familiar Colorado signatures. Take a look at three unique foods you’ll see at the festival and the cooks behind them.

For more information, visit ATasteofColorado.com.

“Denver as a whole isn’t on the food radar as of yet — not as much as (Los Angeles) or New York City — so I feel this festival could give Colorado a lot of traction in the food industry and show what we do as chefs,” Stoller said. “There has been a big influx of people who have come to Colorado, me being one of them, so this could be different than last year just because of that.”

More than half a million people are expected to stop by A Taste of Colorado this year for food and fun. The festival has different live music offerings for each of the three days. Opening day on Aug. 31 will feature a classic rock lineup headlined by disco favorites KC and the Sunshine Band.

The second day will offer a lineup of country music and the final day will have more contemporary favorites.

All food and retail vendors will be open during the duration of the festival.

flour or corn tortilla. The tacos come in three and are served with a side of cabbage to garnish.

Marcia and Joe’s Kitchen is located in Steamboat Springs and serves braised oxtail, curry goat and chicken, and jerk pork and chicken.

Kalahari chicken wings, A Taste of Soweto Mpho MaPoulo, of Colorado Springs, wants to introduce the taste of his home country South Africa to Americans with his start-up food business A Taste of Soweto. MaPoulo and his wife, Ocean, hope to have their own food truck come October. Ocean is the chef who makes the specialty stews and kota chicken and rice bowls — “kota” refers to the quarter loaf of bread used as a bowl, traditionally.

The MaPoulos offer it over rice as well.

A Taste of Soweto only has five menu items, but, Mpho MaPoulo said, they have adapted over the months to fuse South African tastes with American ones.

One of the five items A Taste of Soweto will be serving up is Kalahari chicken wings — a South African twist on the Buffalo pub classic. The wings are tossed in a coriander-based Kalahari sauce, named after the Kalahari Desert in South Africa.

“It’s a very signature spice in South Africa for the sausage, but we have sort of invented a new food item all together — we use the spice on chicken wings,” MaPoulo said. “The whole idea is to make something recognizable or appealing to a different group of people, like Americans.”

VOICES Want to be a mermaid? Fin, have it your way

I

just heard about something called “mermaiding.”

It’s been around for a while, but I do my best to stay out of touch, partly because some of these things come and go almost overnight.

The first professional mermaids ap- QUIET peared around 2004.

DESPERATION Nonprofessional mermaids swim in local pools, lakes, river, and oceans.

Some don’t even swim. They just pose.

I watched a video that described the appeal of mermaiding.

It didn’t sound any different than swim- Craig Marshall ming without a tail.

Smith Speaking of tails, you can order them online, and they come in all sizes and colors. Matching tops can be purchased.

They are mostly marketed for girls, young women, and women. Some are

marketed for boys.

There are high-end prosthetic tails that cost thousands.

I grew up with crayons. Later I was given a bicycle. After that, I was handed a baseball glove.

It now looks like I was an uneventful and hapless little tyke. If only I had a tail. Or a goat.

Yoga used to be yoga. Then it was yoga with yoga pants. Then it was yoga with yoga music, yoga food, yoga antlers, and now, there is goat yoga.

The expression “Leave well enough alone” is un-American.

I saw a 1948 film on televsion titled “Miranda” when I was in high school.

It stars Glynis Johns, as a mermaid named Miranda.

Johns was a shapely woman with a distinctive, husky voice. Modern audiences have forgotten about her.

But not me.

A married doctor goes on a fishing trip, and catches Miranda, who pulls the doctor into the water, and keeps him in her underwater home until he

agrees to show her around London.

Spoiler: The final scene shows Miranda on a rock, holding a merbaby.

Don’t ask me.

Jennifer frequently attends yoga classes. Without a goat. She tells me stories about some of the other students. It sounds like they are there to be seen.

I have never seen one, but there once were dance marathons. And flag pole sitting contests.

In Paris in 1864, they opened a morgue behind Notre Dame to the public. As many as 40,000 tourists a day took the opportunity to view dead bodies.

Today we have something called “immersion art exhibitions.” Instead of being a passive consumer of something as humdrum as a painting or a sculpture, gallery and museum visitors are immersed in the art, engaged with the art, one with the art.

The thought of it gives me a headache.

I acknowledge that I am a dullard. I don’t need a tail, or a goat, and I don’t need to immerse like a tea bag.

I’m not sure what I would do if I came home and found Jennifer in the tub wearing a tail.

Maybe I’d say, “Are we going to need to get a water bed?”

I tried to find some good mermaid jokes, but there aren’t any. The punch line of one of them is “algebra.” You can probably figure it out for yourself.

In 1984, Ron Howard directed “Splash.” It stars Tom Hanks who falls in love with a mermaid played by Daryl Hannah. He names her “Madison” after Madison Avenue.

Ironically, Hannah had been swimming with her legs bound together since she was a little girl, after reading Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Little Mermaid.”

(Disney’s film “Ariel” was based on Anderson’s story.)

Pass the fish and chips.

For continuous improvement, focus on continuous learning “In times of change the learners will inherit the earth, as the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”

— Eric Hoffer nd since it seems like the world is changing at the speed of thought, we will all do well to focus on the way we grow, evolve, and learn.

One of the mantras that we hear with WINNING greater frequency WORDS these days is around the term “continuous improvement.”

Typically, we hear the term “continuous improvement” when it comes to our efforts to continually strive to improve our products, services, and processes. However, Michael Norton we are now seeing the concept played out when it comes to people as well. The push to be better, faster, smarter, and stronger has many top achievers placing a focus on their own continuous improvement.

In our attempt at being more, doing

more, and having more, we have to make sure that we are always breaking through our comfort zones. And whether it is to become better, faster, smarter, or stronger, the more that we take the time to learn and grow, the greater likelihood we have of continuous improvement in every area of our lives.

If we are looking to be better at something, we can learn more through reading, attending seminars, and receiving coaching or mentoring.

As we look to move faster and become more efficient, there are tips and techniques that we can learn to make sure we are keeping up with others who are accomplishing more in less time. And when it comes to being smarter, education is available to us in many different forms. Online learning, peer-topeer learning, formal education, and classes of every kind make it so easy to increase our knowledge. For those looking to get physically stronger, it’s not just about spending time working out or being in the gym, it’s about learning different exercises, trying new techniques and movements, and being willing to spend time learning how diet impacts strength.

And if we are hoping to become mentally, emotionally, or spiritually stronger, there are books, counselors, close friends, and best practices we can learn to develop so that we continue our improvement in each of these areas of life too.

As consumers, I am confident that we are all thankful for companies that work towards continuous improvement in their products, services, and processes. And if we are part of working for any organization, we are probably extremely grateful when our company places the same amount of energy and emphasis on the continuous improvement of their people.

Companies that invest in their people enjoy the benefits of less employee turnover, higher revenues, better morale, and greater shareholder value.

When companies choose to invest in the continuous learning of their people, through both formal and informal education, they will also experience greater engagement, which in turn, creates greater productivity.

There is a lot of wisdom to be found in Dr. Denis Waitley’s amazingly profound words, “Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining

expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.” Just when we think we have mastered something, that something changes, technology changes, and we are no longer seen as the expert. Just ask anyone who is forced to listen to us tell them how we “used to do” something when we were their age. It used to be we could have comfort knowing that we were experts in something 10 years or more ago, then it was five years ago, and then maybe two years ago. Now, unless we keep up with our own continuous improvement, six months ago no longer qualifies us as experts.

So how about you? Is there still room to grow and learn? Are there interests in your life where you still enjoy expanding your knowledge? As always I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can continuously improve through continuous learning, it really will be a better than good week.

Bennet hopes voters are ready for steady Colorado senator brings voice of moderation to Democratic candidate field

BY ALEXANDRA JAFFE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Michael Bennet was about as fired up as he ever gets at the Iowa State Fair’s Political Soapbox, railing against Bernie Sanders’ health care plan — but spolitely.

“I respect him because he tells the truth about what’s in his plan, but I disagree that that’s gonna get us universal ghealth care in America,” said Bennet, a Colorado senator and decidedly lower-tier Democratic presidential candidate. Bennet He prompted boos from the crowd, most of whom were -waiting in the heat to see Sanders speak shortly after him, but Bennet wasn’t too fussed. As admirers thronged to the Vermont senator, Bennet went on to tour the fair and hop aboard a few rides with his daughters.

Bennet is pursuing the presidency as the anti-Donald Trump: measured and moderate. Contemplative and competent. With the energy in the Democratic Party radiating from the left and the president so often shouting from

l

h

d n o c Se l a u n An

the right, Bennet’s journey has been a lonely road.

But he insists he won’t change course.

“If we are forever trapped in a world of instantaneous celebrity that is driven by social media, it may be that I’m not the person for that time,” he said in an interview. “But just like with many other things, I prefer not to think that we’re living in a permanent state of a broken-down political system that won’t deliver on all the promises these candidates are making.”

Bennet’s odds of winning the Democratic presidential nomination are as long as his thoughts are deep.

His new book — “The Land of Flickering Lights: Restoring America in an Age of Broken Politics” — is his version of an urgent call to arms to restore American democracy and no one’s idea of a bestseller.

And yet, Bennet is tying his candidacy to perhaps the most audacious proposition of all, that voters may actually crave the opposite of the relentlessly turbulent tenure of Trump.

He made that pitch explicit in a tweet, pledging, “If you elect me president, I promise you won’t have to think about me for two weeks at a time. I’ll do my job watching out for North Korea and ending this trade war. So you can go raise your kids and live your lives.”

Very much not Trump James Carville, a top strategist on both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s early

presidential campaigns, is bullish on Bennet because he believes that “the way to beat Trump is to be as profoundly different from Trump as you can be.”

“Just be nice, be calm, get out of everybody’s face,” he said. “If the country is looking for the most unlike Donald Trump person, I think Michael Bennet is that person.”

Carville said he’s spoken to other Democrats who believe Bennet would make the best president out of any candidate in the field. Carville said he would make an even better nominee than Joe Biden because “he’d be new, different, younger and ... could project forward.”

But before Bennet can even be taken seriously as the challenger to Trump, he must emerge from a field of two dozen other Democratic hopefuls, including a cluster that shares some version of his pragmatic approach, such as Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Many trees must fall before primary voters would see Bennet as their alternative.

He is at his most animated when he is assailing “Medicare for All,” Sanders’ signature policy proposal and one also embraced by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

“I really believe that, better than the other people that are in this field, the agenda that I’m pursuing is an agenda that Democrats in Iowa and South Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada will recognize themselves in,” he said.

Indeed, some voters in Iowa do see an

appeal in Bennet’s calm.

“That’s what I want — someone who’s really steady, and he has a reputation for being really knowledgeable about policy,” said Linda Simonton, a 71-year-old retiree from Des Moines, after seeing Bennet speak at the fair. “He knows what he’s doing. He’s worked in the Senate, he’s worked on immigration, he’s worked across the aisle.”

And the Des Moines Register editorial board praised Bennet after sitting down with him, encouraging caucusgoers to give him “more attention.”

“He offers a much-needed reality check on the promises candidates are offering,” the board wrote.

Bennet is Trump’s opposite even in style. Compared to other candidates who shout or sermonize on the stump, Bennet tends toward monotone that can make his speeches sound like a well-intentioned lecture from someone’s father. On the stump at the state fair, Bennet, who delayed his entrance into the race because he had prostate cancer, even joked to the crowd that they should get their prostates checked.

Some like calm style Asa Leonard, an 18-year-old art student who saw Bennet in Knoxville, Iowa, said he was “charmed” by the senator’s style.

“He’s very much a dad-jokey kind of guy, very nice and calm and open, and a little stern but not aggressively so,” he said.

Disc golf takes full Many find the sport suits them to a tee, and the price is right

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

hris Ball is a Grammy-nominated songwriter who has composed music for many television shows and toured for seven years as a musician with the rock band Firefall.

The 53-year-old Highlands Ranch resident still found time to become a competitive amateur disc golfer.

“When I traveled with Firefall, I brought my discs with me sometimes and I would go play,” Ball said. “I would do a lot more at home. It is just so easy to get out for an hour at a park near my house or to a field just to go practice and hone the same shot over and over again.

“Going back to my teenage years, I loved to play freestyle Frisbee, just playing in a park. I just thought disc golf was a lot of fun at first. It was just kind of fun to mix Frisbee and golf, throwing at a basket. We’ve come a long way from throwing ultimate discs at trees in a park and calling it ‘golf ’ or ‘frolf.’ ” Disc golf can be hard to play.

Throwing a small disc a long way takes skill, practice and can be challenging to master. The sport is played like traditional golf, except that flying discs are used instead of a golf ball.

The sport was created in the early 1970s with the object of completing each hole with the fewest strokes, or throws, in this case. The discs are thrown at metal baskets.

There are four types of discs used in disc golf. There are distance drivers, which are thin, sharp-edged, dense and require speed when throwing. Drives can go up to 400 feet if thrown properly.

Fairway drivers are easier to control and usually have more glide time.

Midrange discs are bulkier and less aerodynamic with a more rounded outside lip. Putters are shaped more like traditional Frisbees and are heavier.

“Disc golf, I would have to say over the past 10 years, is a growing sport here in Colorado and across the country,” said Ray Woodruff, the Colorado Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) coordinator and Rocky Mountain Women’s Disc Golf Championship tournament director. “I was first introduced to the game in 1996 and enjoyed several years of recreational

Association helps grow the game

play until joining the tournament scene in 2007. I have been on the board of directors for the Mile High Disc Golf Club since 2011.”

In a 2019 PDGA demographics report, the association reported it has 120,000 lifetime members and 46,00 active players. Colorado has 1,195 PDGA participants. The PDGA points out that as many as 500,000 people play the sport regularly. The 2019 PDGA course

directory lists 6,316 courses in the United States. There are more than 100 courses listed in Colorado. Some courses are private and many were created by homeowners associations.

“Practicing in a field is the key to what it takes to be a decent player,” Ball said. “The sport is fun, there are hundreds of free courses nationwide and you don’t have to be a great athlete to enjoy getting out in the fresh

air and playing. But to become really good, just like anything, you have to practice.

“Now, I play for the love of the game, being outdoors and in Colorado, where we have incredible courses up in the mountains. We have great courses in and around Denver, and it is free.

That’s a big part of it. The only thing that costs you is if you lose a disc.”

According to PDGA demographics, only 8% of its membership is female, but there were 134 women who played in the Rocky Mountain Women’s Disc Golf Championships on Aug. 2-4 at Purple Park in Superior.

Erika Weir, a PDGA member since 2014 who resides in Denver, was one of the entrants in the Open division. She finished fifth.

“What makes a good disc golfer to me is the first thing you have to do is be patient and be willing to learn,” Weir said. “A lot of times, you have discs that may or may not work for you and you need to work through them or be willing to switch to another disc. Obviously being passionate and having a good work ethic about it is super helpful. If you have any background in throwing it’s helpful.

Maybe you throw a football or maybe you were a former softball or baseball player. Those skills translate, too.”

Brandon Nelon, of Littleton, has been playing disc golf for 10 years.

The president of Dragon Disc Golf Club — which on its website lists “home courses” in Aurora, Littleton and Greenwood Village — is the director for six local tournaments this year.

“The sport is growing worldwide,” Nelon said. “I know the Denver area has a huge disc golf following. It’s going to continue to grow. It’s growing every year and it’s not on a downward trend, either.”
