Duck-pond slaying suspect could face new charge

GETTING A MAKEOVER:

Mikhail Anthony Purpera already facing separate accusations of murder

The emergency department at Swedish Medical Center is amid improvements P22

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The suspect accused of shooting a man twice, grabbing his bloody hat and the shell casings, and dumping the victim’s body in a duck pond may face a new charge: murder with extreme indifference to the value of human life.

Mikhail Anthony Purpera, whom prosecutors presented evidence against in a July preliminary hearing, appeared in court for a second preliminary hearing Nov. 2 for the court to decide whether the new count against him will proceed to trial.

“It’s a joke to him,” a prosecutor for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in court, recounting a source’s account that Purpera threw the victim’s hat at him “to see the look on (his) face.”

Purpera allegedly shot Patrick Murphy, 33, to death on Nov. 12 in Englewood, according to evidence presented at the July hearing.

Preliminary hearings allow judges to decide whether there is enough evidence to take the case to trial — they don’t decide whether a suspect is guilty. At the July hearing, Judge Purpera SEE SLAYING, P31

MY NAME IS

Littleton Police captain remembered Charles Robinson died in October, memorial to be held on Veterans Day

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Michael Pappa’s current livelihood as an artisan is a long way from his life as a patent proofreader in New York City.

DAVID GILBERT

MICHAEL PAPPA

Artist and owner of MP Pinecone Designs About me I’m originally from West Virginia.

I’ve been a lot of places, but my brother lives here so it was time to come west.

I’ve been doing fairs since 2009. I started with a pinecone wreath business.

Three years ago I started making soap too. Soapmaking is pretty easy — I taught myself with books from the library and talking to friends. You have oils on one side, they come to a specific temperature, then lye and water on the other side. You can make goat’s milk soap, or even beer soap.

I also make candle holders, and I burn designs into them. I find wood in the forest, and what I’m working on today just came from a firewood supplier. I put three trees on them, because everything’s better in odd numbers.

Back to nature I got started when I was living in New York, and I was a proofreader at a patent law firm. I lost that job in the Great Recession. I got bored and I had these plans in my head, and I started working with pinecones in my little apartment in Jersey City.

I’ve done a lot of things. I went to art school, then musical theater school.

This is my creative outlet now.

Growing up in West Virginia had its own benefits, and I meet people from West Virginia here in Colorado all the time. There are a lot of nature lovers in both places, and people here have a similar laid-back vibe.

In college... I had a class in school that taught us traditional Appalachian skills. We made corn-husk dolls, I learned to whittle and a lot of other amazing skills.

They took us to a little village in the woods, and we met a guy who was stripping bark from a tree trunk to make baskets. I found the whole experience so inspiring.

Longtime Littleton Police Department captain and Vietnam veteran Charles Robinson will be remembered at a memorial on Veterans Day, a fitting tribute to a man Littleton Mayor Bruce Beckman said “put country and community first.”

Robinson, 77, died on Oct. 20.

A Littleton native, Robinson was born in 1940 and served in the Army from 1962-65.

“He was in Vietnam before most people even knew there was a war there,” said Beckman, Robinson who served for many years on the Littleton Police Department before retiring as a division chief in 2010.

Robinson joined the Littleton Police Department in 1966 as a dispatcher, and rose through the ranks, becoming captain — just under the position of chief — in 1975.

“He represented the spirit of Littleton Police Department,” Beckman said. “He was a mentor. He was the first person you went to when you wanted to talk about your career or your potential.

“He was a person who wanted to listen and help. He cared about every employee.”

Robinson retired from the police department in 1994 and worked nine more years for the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office as a budget and logistics manager.

Robinson’s daughter Kathleen Robinson remembered her father as a devoted family man with strong principles.

“He was a very protective father,” Kathleen said.

“I got in trouble many times for saying I knew somebody. After a crime, he might come home and say `do you know this person?’ And if I made the mistake of saying yes, that was the end of that.”

Kathleen called her father a man of traditions, and said that her husband and son would visit him every Sunday to watch car shows, drink coffee and eat doughnuts.

“He called it ‘eating carrots,’ ” Kathleen said. “I guess because it sounded healthier than doughnuts.”

Kathleen said her father was committed to his job, and would listen to the dispatch radio at home, sometimes calling in pointers and reassurance to dispatchers after difficult calls.

“Sometimes they’d call him out to a scene in the middle of the night,” Kathleen remembered.

“He would joke how funny it was that they’d call him so late at night and they’d always ask, `Oh, were you asleep?’ But we would worry if he was coming back.”

Kathleen said her father was a pillar of the community.

“He had the strictest moral compass I’ve ever seen. He was loyal and supportive of his friends and colleagues — he had a profound effect on people.”

Robinson is survived by his wife of 51 years, Carol, daughter Kathleen and grandchildren Elizabeth DeGrange and Jacob, Jade and Benjamin Gearhart.

PAYING RESPECTS Robinson’s memorial will be held at Olinger Chapel Hill Cemetery at 6601 S. Colorado Blvd. in Centennial at 10 a.m. on Nov. 11, with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Wounded Warriors Project or the Denver Dumb Friends League.

The Alley restaurant serves history along with ‘Mountain Mexican’ food Littleton Main Street location goes back to city’s early days

ABOUT HISTORIC LITTLETON INC. Historic Littleton Inc., a 30-year-old membership society of people interested in preservation and local history, welcomes new members at all times. Blue brochures are available at Bemis Library, Littleton Museum and Town Hall Arts Center.

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 stopping by…,” Scarborough said. Then they used their own food truck at the back and served food inside and on the large rear alley patio. 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.

In May 2017, new owners Zach Smith and Todd Donati of Bristlecone Construction were honored by Historic 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

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-to-back 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 self-esteem.

“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 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

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 month-long break from social media spread around the country and the world.

DAVID GILBERT 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-toface 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.”

Civic affairs boot camp launches first graduates Littleton Leadership Academy seeks to educate citizens on government

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The graduates of the inaugural year of the Littleton Leadership Academy had praise for the civic-affairs boot camp aimed at educating locals on the workings of government.

“I’m a much more informed citizen now,” said Kyle Henderson, the vice chairman of South Metro Housing Options, who was one of 26 attendees of the nine-month program that took students on a comprehensive journey to understand the big picture of how government agencies work together. “I think I can speak a little more intelligently with my neighbors and my city council. We’ve got a core group that now have a much better understanding of how our city operates and the decisions we need to make.”

Over the course of nine day-long sessions, participants studied topics like state government, city government, environmental issues, education, land use, mobility, place making and health and wellness. Sessions included a number of high-profile speakers, including Colorado Supreme Court Justice Richard Gabriel, National Civic League President Doug Linkhart, Littleton Fire Rescue Chief Chris Armstrong and Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert. Attendees visited the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, Littleton Adventist Hospital and several schools.

“We wanted our participants to meet people they wouldn’t otherwise meet or go places they wouldn’t otherwise get into,” said Susan Thornton, the academy’s chair and a former Littleton mayor.

Building on history Thornton said the academy is an outgrowth of the Littleton Community Retreat, an annual day-long community summit on single topics, held every year since 1976.

The retreat, founded by then-city manager Gale Christy and Littleton Independent editor Garrett Ray, was the petri dish for the Town Hall Arts Center, the program now called Immigrant Pathways Colorado, and the project that saw Littleton’s train tracks lowered beneath grade, which paved the way for rapid incorporation of light rail.

“We thought the retreat was getting a little stale,” Thornton said. “We didn’t invent the academy concept. My daughter-in-law attended a similar one in Jefferson County, and other municipalities around the country have comparable programs.”

The first class consisted of a variety of local leaders and bigwigs, including Historic Downtown Litttleton Merchants Association president Greg Reinke, Littleton Public Schools Foundation Executive Director Beth Best and J.D. McCrumb, town administrator of Columbine Valley.

“We’re trying to create an educated core of voters who will go out and educate others,” Thornton said.

Littleton City Council candidates Karina Elrod and Kyle Schlachter both attended the academy, as did Jessica Williams, the registered agent for a political action committee that supported Elrod and Schlachter. Thornton donated to both Schlachter and Elrod’s campaigns, and was also a city election commission member.

Thornton said the academy is nonpartisan and nonpolitical.

“It’s very neutral and we tried not to insert politics,” Thornton said. “Our speakers say what they say, though. As far as the group, I think what you see is that people who are interested in politics self-selected.”

JOIN UP Littleton Leadership Academy is currently accepting applications for the 2018 session.

Participants are asked to obtain clearance from their jobs to miss one weekday a month for ten months, from February to November.

Tuition is $850, and limited scholarships are available.

12 of the 30 open slots were filled as of Nov. 1.

Apply at littletonleadershipacademy.org, or email info@littletonleadershipacademy.org or call 720-507-4765 for more information.

Learning the ropes Henderson, the housing authority vice chair, said he joined to go straight to the horse’s mouth to understand the interplay of government and other agencies that govern life in Littleton.

“I’ve only lived in Littleton since 2012, and felt like I didn’t know a lot that was going on,” Henderson said.

“I’d hear things from neighbors or the paper, and there was a lot of conflicting stuff. I wanted to understand the city’s vision and where it was going.”

Henderson said he gained a better grasp of how all the parts form a whole, “how development impacts parks or services or roads. It’s all connected.”

Henderson said he hopes working together with different agencies will provide a better outcome for developers like himself.

“Doing development in Littleton currently is an uphill battle, and is not always well received,” Henderson said. “My hope is that Littleton can become more proactive around development, because it’ll happen. That’s my frustration with Littleton, is it’s a city of no, and you end up with worse development as a result.”

For Brandon Addison, a senior

pastor at Neighborhood Church, the academy was about finding Littleton’s heart and soul.

“I want to love my city, so I had to know my city,” Addison said. “I saw it as a place to connect and learn about what’s beautiful, what we want to celebrate about Littleton. What are the systemic challenges and areas we wrestle with? How can we be part of the solution?”

Addison said his role as a faith leader gave him a unique perspective.

“My conviction is the church doesn’t exist for itself. It exists to help build a better community. (The book of) Jeremiah talks about seeking the peace and prosperity of the city. I see myself as a go-between, a chaplain to help sides listen and learn from one another.”

Every participant in the academy was asked to develop an “action plan” for what they want to do with their newfound knowledge. Addison said he wants to keep developing a series of community conversations on controversial topics, with presentations from experts with different viewpoints.

“We encourage people to learn with civility and curiosity,” Addison said.

McCrumb, the town administrator for Columbine Valley, said he treasured the friendships he made, and hopes to stay in touch after graduation.

“Those people are now one step closer to me,” McCrumb said. “I know people who have expertise in one topic or another that I didn’t before. My network has grown.”

McCrumb heartily recommended the academy to anyone who can attend.

“If you participate, you will get something out of it, whether you’re retired or a professional. It doesn’t matter who you are — it has something for everyone.”

Season brings increase in wildlife/vehicle crashes STAFF REPORT

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 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.

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.”

Rick Beavers eyes the model he made of a custom backyard recreation center he proposed to a customer. The Englewood business owner said the project that would include a hot tub, fireplace, grill and other amenities would be sculpted out of cement and painted to look like it was made of wood and rocks.

TOM MUNDS 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.

A large sculpture made of cement fills much of the yard at the home of Englewood sculptor Rick Beavers. Beavers sculpted the project out of cement and painted the cement to look like rocks and wood.

TOM MUNDS

CLARIFICATION The story “Councilmember found to have violated Fair Campaign Practices Act” in the Nov. 2 issue contained a quote from Councilmember Rick Gillit that could be interpreted as implying the Arapahoe County Clerk

and Recorder’s Office does not have up-to-date voter records available to the public.

The office noted that it does, and candidates, campaigns and other entities can request such records.

Rick Beavers talks about the eagle lamp he entered in the Englewood Art Show. The Englewood resident sculpted the entire lamp out of cement and painted it to fit the theme of the project.

Female farmers hold important roles in agriculture industry

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.

“It doesn’t have to be a man.”

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

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.

FEMALE FARMERS ACROSS THE NATION: BY THE NUMBERS

FROM PAGE 10

Peppler’s father was a wheat farmer in eastern Colorado, so she has been 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

“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 surrounding 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.”

Two area Veterans Day events scheduled CALM AFTER THE STORM

Ceremonies scheduled at Fort Logan and in Littleton on Nov. 11

SM

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 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 l play the echo version of “Taps.�

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

U If that happens again this year the ceremony will be held at the planned y k time inside at Verle Huffman VFW a Post 9644, 2680 W. Hampden Ave. t The nation began honoring veterans in 1926 when Armistice Day was F n held for the first time to remember the event that ended the World War I i and honor those who served. That is a when the tradition began to hold the D ceremony on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the same time w day and month that the agreement to m cease fighting went into effect in 1918, f spelling an end to World War I. t In 1938, it was declared a national holiday. In its early history, Armistice T Day was focused on honoring World A fi War I veterans. In the early 1950s, Congressman Edwin Rees of Kansas c m proposed changing the name of the holiday to Veterans Day and making it l a time to honor all those who served inc the armed forces and in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill, making Nov. 11 Veterans Day.

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.”

HOMELESS VETERANS:

BY THE NUMBERS

• There were 5,116 homeless people counted on Jan. 30 in the seven-county Denver metro area. Of those, 569 identified as veterans.

The area includes Denver, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, Douglas, Broomfield and Boulder counties.

• That’s down from 713 veterans in 2016.

In 2012, the count was 710, and in 2013, it dropped to 358 and steadily climbed back up.

• More than 51 percent of homeless veterans were 55 or older. More than 91 percent were male.

• About 300 were disabled in some way.

About 200 have mental illness, and about 50 were victims of domestic violence.

• About half were staying in transitional housing on the day of the survey. Nearly all the rest were in emergency shelter or had no shelter.

• The count did not include people staying in motels paid for by themselves, or sleeping on couches with friends or family.

• It should be noted that the survey is subject to voluntary participation and is a “snapshot” of the homeless population — actual numbers may be higher.

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.

PHOTO COURTESY OF FREDDIE SPRANKEL 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 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 misin-

formed 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 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.

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.

Scuba divers from Greenwood Village’s One World Dive and Travel meet some of the ocean’s denizens.

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

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.”

5 things to know about Swedish Medical Center renovations Local hospital to get improvements through fall and into winter

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the first time in nearly three decades, the emergency department at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood is getting a makeover. Residents in the area will already be familiar with the sight of construction crews and orange cones, and patients and their families may have been through the temporary entrance.

Here are a few things to know about how the renovations will change the emergency room area.

Services are still running All emergency and hospital services will operate as usual throughout the end of the project, including 24-hour level-one trauma, stroke and burn care.

What’s being changed?

The emergency department — also generally called the emergency room — will undergo renovations in its waiting room and public spaces like bathrooms. The waiting room will be aesthetically upgraded to offer a more welcoming, modern and private feel, said Kara Anderson, public relations

 

official for Swedish Medical Center.

The project will include a new entrance with a glass canopy over the driveway outside the front doors to protect patients from the elements, a news release from Swedish Medical Center said. Additional lighting on and around the canopy will be installed to improve safety and visibility.

The rooms where patients are treated will not undergo changes, Anderson said.

When will the construction end?

The renovations are expected to wrap up in January or February. The work began on Oct. 24. It’s part of a $50 million, ongoing aesthetic improvement project, the news release said. The emergency department was last renovated in 1990, Anderson said.

Which part is the emergency room?

The emergency department sits at the north side of the medical complex, at East Girard Avenue and South Pennsylvania Street. Currently, patients and families enter through a temporary “breezeway,” a covered outdoor space just to the right of the former entry doors. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot, and complimentary valet service is available weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

About Swedish Medical Center The Swedish Medical Center emer-

Construction underway at the emergency department at Swedish Medical Center Nov. 2. The department, also referred to as the emergency room, is being renovated for the first time since 1990.

Medical Center as a whole sees more than 200,000 patients per year, with 1,600 employees, 500 volunteers and more than 1,300 physicians providing care.

I am a proud Viet Nam-Era U.S. Army Veteran. I served in Korea from 1968-1969.

I was fortunate to go from mechanized infantry to an Army Education Specialist.

I was the NCOIC for the West Camp Casey Education Center and part of the HHQ & Band Support Co for the 7th Infantry Division. Camp Casey was right outside Dongducheon.

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 f for fans to watch some s Jim Benton remarkable athletes. a It appears that more girls are being w drawn to volleyball instead of basketball. m According to National Federation of State High School Associations national b participation figures from 2016-17, there a were 444,779 volleyball players compared p to 430,368 basketball players. d In Colorado, there were 9,446 volleyball s participants with 7,082 volleyball athletes. p Several area high school coaches offered opinions about the participation spike of s girls volleyball, and topping the reasons a was the idea that the game is more fun. d Also volleyball is less physical than 5 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 of that for another day after I watch a few more matches and learn more.

Mustangs, Bruins fare well at state gymnastics 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.

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 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.

World champion public speaker to headline local event STAFF REPORT

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.

SLAYING FROM PAGE 1

Phillip Douglass ruled that Purpera would face trial — barring a plea deal — on counts of first-degree murder and aggravated robbery and would be held without bond.

The prosecution brought evidence for the new charge of murder with extreme indifference, which is another type of first-degree murder count, at the Nov. 2 court appearance at the Arapahoe County District Court.

Englewood police detective Brian Taylor testified that a 32-year-old man who knew Purpera told him in an interview that Purpera killed Murphy “for the fun of it, if you will — for no reason.”

The 32-year-old told police that Purpera, now 30, threw a blood-covered hat at him Nov. 12. Purpera called the bloody hat a “present” and said he liked the look on the man’s face, according to statements the man gave police. The man said Purpera got a thrill or a rush from killing Murphy, Taylor testified.

The defense for Purpera noted that the 32-year-old said Purpera was a “heavy drug user” of methamphetamine and would sometimes stay up two or three days at a time.

Purpera’s suspected murder of 55-year-old homeless man Wayland Busby on or around Nov. 5, 2016, in the course of trying to steal marijuana and other goods — a case being handled in Denver — also factored into the prosecution’s argument. Allegedly

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 committing the two murders within less than two weeks of each other, possibly in response to intoxicated “trash-talking” in Murphy’s case, demonstrated extreme indifference to human life, the prosecution said.

Douglass, the judge, countered that if Murphy insulted Purpera, that could be a sufficient fact that would rule out the murder allegedly being committed for no reason. The prosecution disagreed and argued that Purpera’s possible intoxication at the time is not a defense against an extreme indifference charge.

Purpera’s allegedly making light of and joking about the crime shows his indifference, the prosecution said.

The defense argued that there was enough intent in Purpera’s allegedly shooting Murphy in the head to qualify the murder as deliberate, adding that they think the prosecution is trying to create a charge it can more easily present without having to worry about Purpera’s possible intoxication at the time as a defense.

The prosecution said the evidence shows it didn’t have to be Murphy specifically that Purpera shot — he could have shot anyone who drunkenly insulted him.

Douglass did not immediately give a ruling on whether Purpera will face the indifference charge.

Purpera is scheduled for trial in Denver District Court in Dec. 12-18. As of May, Louisiana officials had a request that Purpera be extradited to their jurisdiction to face trial for two counts of attempted murder in connection with an Aug. 22, 2016, shooting.

An arraignment for his Arapahoe County case is scheduled for Nov. 30.
