Penn leaves a legacy of leadership in Englewood Coach, teacher, mayor, chamber director left outsized imprint on community

BY SCOTT GILBERT SGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA,COM

Former Englewood educator, mayor and chamber director Randy Penn

— “Coach Penn” to generations of the Englewood Schools community — died Sept. 3 with his family at his side, the school district announced Sept. 4. He was 71.

Penn, a towering, mustachioed figure known for his twinkling eyes and his four Penn decades of devotion to the schools and city of Englewood, died a few days after suf-

fering a stroke, said an announcement

by Englewood Schools Superintendent Wendy Rubin.

Penn began teaching in Englewood Schools in 1981 and remained with the district until 2008, where he coached sports including football, swimming and track. He served as Englewood’s mayor from 2011 through 2015 and then moved into leadership of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce before retiring in spring 2019.

Before moving west to Denver, he got to know Rick Rescorla, the company’s head of security and a British Army veteran.

On Sept. 11, 2001, Rescorla led a column of evacuees down a stairwell of the Twin Towers. After the second plane hit, knocking out the power, panic exploded in the corridor as the lights went dark.

Rescorla, at the head of the column, picked up a megaphone and began belting out the Cornish battle hymns of his youth. Many survivors said his singing kept them calm enough to escape.

After escorting the group outside, Rescorla charged back into the building to look for survivors. He was last seen sprinting up the 10th floor, megaphone in hand.

As word of Penn’s death spread through Englewood on Sept. 4, many residents shared their memories and grief in social media posts.

Robinson led volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, together with a group from Catholic Charities led by Mark Hahn, as they cleaned up and beautified the grounds at Fort Logan National Cemetery in southwest Denver for the annual National Day of Service and Remembrance.

“There’s so much divisiveness lately, but we have more in common than we think,” Robinson said as he unrolled sod over a bare spot on Fort Logan’s lawn. “This is a day to honor people who gave their lives for others. People who answered the call when it came. It’s a solemn anniversary, but it’s a day to look past our differences and give back to each other.”

‘COVID claim misinterprets data,’ health experts argue Local health official addresses misinformation circulated on social media

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The notion widely shared on social media that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reduced the U.S. COVID-19 death count by 94% — from nearly 154,000 down to just over 9,000 — is a misinterpretation of the data, a Denver metro epidemiologist explains.

Fact-checking reports from late August and early September focused on social media posts that used a misreading of a CDC data table to claim the agency had “admitted” its numbers were inaccurate. President Donald Trump was among those who tweeted the inaccuracy, which appeared to gain traction in late August.

“CDC just backpedaled (quietly) and adjusted the U.S. COVID deaths from 153,504 to 9,210. Admitting that their numbers are so (expletive) that they are off by a whopping 94%,” said a post that was shared on Facebook, the Associated Press reported.

The CDC data table in question — located on the agency’s site at tinyurl. com/COVIDdeathcount — is based on an analysis of death certificates that mention COVID-19 as a cause.

For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned, the CDC notes. The table showed 174,470 total COVID-19 deaths recorded as of its

That regularly updated data table shows other health conditions that those who died of COVID-19 had, including Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and obesity, as well as problems that are caused by COVID-19 itself, such as respiratory failure and pneumonia, the AP reported. A death isn’t excluded from the COVID-19 death count just because the person had other health conditions at the time.

‘Well-established process’ The claim that COVID-19 deaths were over-reported “is an incorrect statement,” said Bernadette Albanese, a medical epidemiologist with the TriCounty Health Department.

The “CDC shares data on COVID-19 deaths for which the virus was the only identified cause of death (about 6% of all COVID-19 deaths) and deaths for which the virus infection was coupled with other underlying health problems that led to death (about 94% of all COVID-19 deaths),” Albanese wrote in a statement to Colorado Community Media. “Both are valid counts that add up to the totality of COVID-19 related deaths.”

The CDC runs through a “longstanding, well-established process” in gathering death data, said Albanese, whose department covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

“They do it for injuries, they do it for heart attacks, they do it for flu … and they do it now for COVID. They do it on behalf of states and every death in the United States,” Albanese said. She added: “There’s nothing new about that process at all.”

The far ajority of COVID-19 deaths occur among people 55 and older, who also often have other health conditions that make them more vulnerable to the severe impacts of COVID-19, such as pneumonia, Albanese noted.

Public health officials have pointed to that trend for months.

“It is to be expected that those persons who die from COVID-19 also have other complicating health conditions contributing to death,” Albanese said.

Cause of death vs. other contributing conditions For example, a person with an existing condition such as hypertension who dies due to COVID-19 would have COVID-19 listed as the underlying cause of death, according to the CDC’s guidance for filling out death certificates. Hypertension would be listed in a separate section as a condition that contributed to, but did not directly cause, the death.

Death certificates are records that officials register for every death occurring in the United States, offering a complete picture of mortality nationwide, according to the CDC. The CDC requires a physician, medical examiner or coroner to list a cause

of death followed by other conditions that contributed to the death, according to Albanese.

The underlying cause of death is “the disease or injury which initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death,” the CDC’s guidance says.

“In many cases, it is likely that (COVID-19) will be the (underlying cause of death), as it can lead to various life-threatening conditions, such as pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome,” the guidance says.

Probable vs. confirmed COVID-19 cases The CDC’s guidance adds: “Ideally, testing for COVID-19 should be conducted, but it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate without this confirmation if the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty.”

The agency gives an example of an elderly person who ends up pulseless before emergency medical workers could respond — a situation where, although no COVID-19 testing was done, the coroner determines that the likely underlying cause of death was COVID-19 given the patient’s high fever and severe cough and exposure to a family member who was diagnosed with COVID-19.

In cases where a definite diagnosis cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely, it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as “probable” or “presumed,” the guidance says, while noting that COVID-19 testing should be conducted whenever possible.

It was unclear from the CDC data table what portion of COVID-19 deaths listed were those for which COVID-19 was listed as a “probable” or “presumed” cause.

As of Sept. 9, Colorado had seen 1,979 deaths among people with COVID-19, and 350, or 17.7%, were listed as “probable,” according to the state’s online data.

The state had tallied 1,889 people who died due to COVID-19, as opposed to the total who died with COVID-19 but not necessarily due to it.

However, the true death toll from the virus is widely believed to be higher than what the official numbers show, as experts say many victims died of COVID-19 without ever being tested for it, the AP has reported.

State officials to release new ‘safer-at-home’ COVID-19 framework Revision would place counties under rules based on virus spread

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment has announced plans to release an updated framework for the state’s COVID-19 social-distancing policy that would make counties automatically eligible for different variance-like distancing levels — gradual easing of restrictions on crowds and activities — and possibly do away with Colorado’s current system of applying for variances.

A “variance” is an exemption to state rules aimed at containing the pandemic granted to a county or city if it meets certain conditions.

State officials sought feedback on the new framework to help identify when counties should operate under different shades of Colorado’s “safer at home” phase of social distancing, as well as when they should follow stay-at-home rules and the state’s third and loosest phase, called “protect our neighbors.”

The deadline for providing feedback was Sept. 3, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment was to update the plan based on the public’s comments. The final framework was to be available shortly after the comment period, according to the news release. State officials as of Sept. 11 aren’t sure exactly when the framework is expected to be finalized, a state spokesperson said.

The vast majority of Colorado counties still operate under the safer-at-home phase, which came after the stay-athome order this spring and allowed nu-

merous types of businesses to reopen.

The state public-health department’s new proposed framework would break the safer-at-home phase itself into three levels that counties would be placed under based on local severity of the coronavirus’ spread, according to a draft of the framework linked in an Aug. 28 news release.

“We need to empower local communities with easy-to-follow guidance if we are to continue to slow the spread of COVID-19,” Jill Hunsaker Ryan, the department’s executive director, said in the release. “We hope the dial will help provide local communities with the flexibility to move throughout the different levels of guidance as necessary to protect public health.”

State officials had heard from the public that Colorado should make recognizing local differences in rules simpler and more predictable, according to the draft.

Change in how counties qualify For the past few months, counties have been able to apply for waivers — or variances — from certain requirements in the state’s safer-at-home order, allowing for larger crowds at some types of businesses.

The new framework would do away with the ability to apply for variances unless a county is already in the least-restrictive new level of the safer-at-home phase. It’s unclear how that would affect most counties with existing variances.

A spokesperson with the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state publichealth department, declined to respond to questions about whether the counties that currently have variances would be put under even less restrictive rules and whether counties that SEE STATE, P6

Alzheimer’s brings bittersweet goodbye Couple adapted to life together until the very end

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Harold Arnold, left, stands with his wife, Barb, in front of the Christmas tree at their Centennial home in a Dec. 18, 2017, photo. Barb Arnold, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016, met Harold more than four decades ago, when Harold took his daughter to get bandaged after she cut her hand. Barb was a nurse at the time — she laughed recounting the story. Barb died in late August 2020.

FILE PHOTO BY ELLIS ARNOLD

After each of Barb Arnold’s children and her sister told her goodbye, her husband, Harold Arnold, gave her one final message of support.

“Barb, it’s OK, you can go,” Harold Arnold told his 85-year-old wife, an Alzheimer’s patient at a Centennial memory care facility. “And she just died (then). It was so peaceful. I was holding her, yeah, real tight. I was lucky I could do that.”

Barb Arnold’s death on Aug. 28 capped off a loving marriage of 45 years, the last few of which Harold Arnold spent helping her through a battle with Alzheimer’s disease, a memory-affecting condition that worsens over time.

Though the disease recast the dynamic of the couple’s marriage, led Harold Arnold to sell their house to keep Barb living at Cherry Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care, and stole Barb’s memories — even of her husband — Harold stayed by her side until the bittersweet end.

RESOURCES TO HELP MANAGE ALZHEIMER’S

For resources for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and for caregivers, visit the Alzheimer’s Association’s website at alz.org. That nonprofit seeks to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia by supporting research, risk reduction and early detection, along with care and support for those who live with Alzheimer’s.

“We had a great life,” said Harold, an 87-year-old Littleton resident who has advice to offer other couples who go through Alzheimer’s disease.

Accidental meeting Barb Arnold, born in Boise, Idaho, as the youngest of six children, attended nurse’s training and eventually came to metro Denver, working at medical facilities that included a hospital in the downtown Denver area, Harold said.

Sometime around the early 1970s, Harold’s daughter cut her hand while working at an Orange Julius, and Harold took her to a doctor whom Barb happened to work for.

Harold’s daughter asked him, with excitement, what he thought of the nurse — his kids were trying to set him up to date after his first wife died at 36 with lupus.

It was a series of small, quiet details that led Harold to fall for Barb — they attended a party, and the next day, the two went hiking. Harold recalls Barb carrying a backpack and feeling impressed as they hiked — and “she looked very pretty carrying the backpack,” Harold said.

“I fell in love,” Harold said. It was “a combination of things, and maybe it just jumps out at you. That is one of the times I thought she was really neat.”

The couple saw each other for roughly a year or two before getting married, Harold remembers. Barb had also been married before — she had four kids and Harold had two, all pre-teens and teenagers when Barb and Harold married, Harold said.

Harold, who worked in the meat business, including as a butcher, and also worked as a real estate professional in Littleton, was born in Wichita, Kansas, and was 4 or 5 when his family moved to Englewood.

He and Barb lived in Littleton when they married and then moved to a mountain area near Bailey.

Later, they moved to a home in what is now Centennial and lived there for about 25 years. Their kids attended school in Littleton, Englewood and Bailey.

The couple eventually came to have 11 grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren.

Along the way, they built a cabin in the mountains, hiked together, crosscountry skied, and enjoyed fondue and wine, Harold said with a laugh.

“We loved life, pretty much,” Harold said. “I can’t think of one special (memory) right now, but I know we loved a lot of them.”

Barb’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis came in late 2016, but the disease’s development was noticeable long before then, Harold said.

There were “so many things you notice that aren’t right and you help with, and you don’t realize you’re helping. You’d say, ‘Oh, look who’s here,’” when a visitor comes, without SEE COUPLE, P8

All the flavors to entice kids.

All the nicotine to keep them hooked.

E-cigarette makers and vape shops are enticing kids with flavors like cotton candy, gummy bear and bubble gum. And nationally, over 5 million kids are using these flavored e-cigarettes.

Vape shops and tobacco companies say their products aren’t ending up in kids’ hands, but that’s just not true. Many retailers still sell to minors, and many of them in Denver even illegally sold products during the COVID-19 shutdown violating emergency orders.

Let’s stop pretending vape shops and the industry care about public health or the health of our children. It’s time to stop the sale of flavored tobacco products to protect our kids.

Take action now by visiting FlavorsHookKidsDenver.org to tell City Council Members Jolon Clark and Paul Kashmann to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.

don’t have variances be placed under less restrictive rules as well, citing that officials were preparing to release more information soon.

Counties could still choose to be more restrictive than what they qualify for, according to the news release.

Currently, counties with a two-week rate of up to 50 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people can qualify for a variance, according to the draft. Under the new framework, counties with up to 75 new cases per 100,000 people within two weeks would quality for that least-restrictive new level.

Among other items, that new level would allow for: • 50% capacity or up to 175 people indoors at places of worship; • 50% capacity or up to 175 people indoors at restaurants; • 25% capacity or up to 75 people at gyms and fitness establishments;

• Perhaps most notably, a 175-person cap for indoor events and 250-person cap for outdoor events. In June, Colorado set the limits generally at up to 100 people for indoor venues and up to 175 people for outdoor venues.

By qualifying for the new level, a county would be eligible for sitespecific variances — for “a unique facility� — rather than for blanket rules across a county, according to the proposed framework.

For counties where the virus’ spread is more dire, the two more-restrictive proposed levels of safer-at-home phase — or, in the extreme case, the stayat-home phase — would apply, with restrictions tightening the worse the virus’ spread is.

For example, a county under the tightest proposed level of safer-at-home — seeing 175 to 350 new cases per 100,000 people within two weeks — would be suggested to limit P-12 schools to remote, or online, classes only.

The middle proposed level, on the other hand, would suggest in-person classes, online or a hybrid of the

two. That level would be for counties seeing 75 to 175 new cases per 100,000 people within two weeks.

For context, the 14-day rate per 100,000 for Arapahoe County was 59.7, the rate for Adams County was 97.4 and Douglas County’s rate was 58 as of Sept. 10, according to the Tri-County Health Department.

Where a county lands among the three proposed levels would also depend on the percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive and whether hospitalizations are stable or declining, along with other standards.

Similar to Colorado’s existing process for applying for variances, a county that is eligible and would like to move to a less restrictive level would notify the state public-health department by a letter signed by local public health officials, local elected officials and local hospitals.

Some bars would remain closed in even the most relaxed proposed saferat-home level, opening only under the “protect our neighbors� phase.

Under the state’s recent closure of bars, effective July 1, some bars that

operate similar to restaurants can continue in-person service as long as patrons remain with their party, spaced 6 feet apart with no mingling, according to a news release from the governor’s office. The state has generally treated bars that function with a full-service kitchen or provide food from a licensed retail food establishment — such as a neighboring restaurant or food truck — as able to stay open like restaurants. “Protect our neighbors� rules allow activities at 50% of pre-pandemic capacity with at least 6 feet between nonhousehold members and no more than 500 people in one setting at a time.

The state relaxed rules in June to allow theaters and indoor and outdoor concerts to open again along with other large event venues, also loosening rules for places of worship, gyms, playgrounds and recreation, in updates to the safer-at-home order.

If the virus’ spread worsens enough, a return to stay-at-home rules is a possibility, state officials have repeatedly acknowledged since the spring.

realizing it helped her remember, Harold recalls. The reality set in when Barb couldn’t remember her daughter, Harold said.

Life after diagnosis Soon after Harold and Barb found out about her diagnosis, they began attending classes and support groups to learn to manage the condition.

Harold went to a program at Goodson Recreation Center, just about a mile from their former Centennial home. Harold adjusted to shopping and cooking for Barb, whose driver’s license was taken away due to her condition.

“I tried to always make it, ‘What if that was me? How would I want to be treated?’ That helped,” Harold said.

“I wouldn’t say I did it every time …

Barb was always glad to see her husband, and although she didn’t talk much, he recalls a time she said: “Harold, thank you for all you do for me.”

Harold, who now lives at a senior home community in Littleton, still finds himself looking at the clock and thinking he needs to visit Barb, he said, laughing.

“It (was) a long process, and I am doing all right, but you’re sad for so long, you know?” Harold said, adding that when Barb died in his arms, he knew “the right thing happened.”

Its name was also the title of a 1961 Chubby Checker dance song that reached number seven on the U.S. pop chart.

The song is almost as annoying as the insect.

All of Mother Nature’s children, no matter how bad they are or seem to be, have something good about them.

This is true for spiders and snakes.

Bats have been getting some bad press lately, but bats eat a lot of insects, and that means fewer insects to bother us.

However, a fly is good for nothing.

The fly, and specifically the housefly, is a nuisance.

They are worldwide, including the Artic and the tropics (where they are abundant.)

My sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Thomas at Acacia Elementary in Fullerton, California, used to catch them in mid-air.

A Venus flytrap is fun to watch.

It will eat a variety of insects and arachnids, not just flies.

An assortment of papers, traps, and ribbons, including the Catchmaster 931 Giant Fly Glue Trap, is available online and in hardware stores. Warning: They work, but it’s not a pretty sight, and they don’t know the difference between a fly and a ladybug.

Ladybugs, along with being cute little devils, dispose of crop-damaging aphids.

We don’t have flies around here in the numbers they do in other parts of the country. The same goes for mosquitoes, another one of Mother Nature’s mistakes.

“Mosquito” is Spanish for “little fly.”

Mosquitoes cause the deaths of over 700,000 people every year.

Some estimates are even higher.

Male mosquitoes don’t bite humans, but females do. Most of us don’t even try to make a distinction, and dispose of both when-

ever possible.

Male and female mosquitoes buzz, by the way.

According to Mosquito Squad, “Today, 90% of all malaria deaths in the world occur in Africa, south of the Sahara.”

Fortunately for us, mosquitoes prefer humid, tropical regions.

Which brings me to humidity.

Few things vex me as much as humidity. Houseflies, mosquitoes, and humidity.

You can watch all three in “Deliverance,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” and “The Prisoner of Shark Island.”

The prisoner referred to is Dr. Samuel Mudd, who was sent to Shark Island as punishment for treating John Wilkes Booth after Booth shot President Lincoln.

Mudd was eventually pardoned, partly because, as a physician, he was able to stem a yellow fever outbreak on the island caused by mosquitoes.

ou were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.” - Zig Ziglar Imagine wakWINNING ing up every WORDS day, reminding ourselves of Zig’s quote above. How would it change our morning?

How would it shape our tasks, our job, and the way we engage with others?

And what would Michael Norton happen if we revisited the quote when we end our workday and enjoy our time with family and friends? And how about remembering the quote and repeating it to ourselves right before we go to bed, what would our state of mind be as we drift off to sleep?

Well, when I started incorporating this quote and the meaning behind it in my daily routine, it made all the difference in the world. I found myself being more

creative and innovative. As I reviewed my projects for the day, I felt empowered and only saw myself as achieving success.

This quote, and others that are similar in meaning have been around for decades. Some of us choose to lean on motivational quotes like Zig’s, and believe every word of it, drawing inspiration from the powerful words to fuel our day. Others may appreciate motivational quotes initially and remember a few of their favorites word for word. Sooner or later, that sensation of appreciation for the motivating words wears off over time, never going deep enough to become part of their belief system.

The quote I shared with you today by Mr. Ziglar, “You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness,” has been shared with millions of people. I have heard Zig speak it from the stage, I have heard it repeated back to me from others who also draw upon the quote for strength during the good times and during challenging times. Yet others, who have heard it over the

years, maybe even heard it from Zig while he was on stage or on one of his recorded programs, refuse to believe that it applies for them. And that is simply not true.

Every one of us was designed for accomplishment. Each of us has been engineered for success. And all of us, and yes that means you, were endowed with the seeds of greatness.

Earlier in the column I asked how it might impact every part of our day if we let the concept sink in and become part of our daily routine. So, here’s another question for you, what would happen if you shared this quote with someone else. Someone you know who might be struggling. Or someone you know who might be doing fantastic. For the person who may be struggling, it could help ignite a spark, and that spark could illuminate a path for them. And for the person doing fantastic, it could help explain part of the reason they are thriving, and now knowing the “why” could lead them to future accomplishments.

I have shared the quote verbally with people, I have sent it in an email, and I have sent it as a text.

The quote has appeared in my social media posts, and I have set a custom image using this quote that I use as a backdrop for virtual trainings, coaching, and meetings.

It always garners attention and questions, but most importantly, it provides a platform for me to share that accomplishment and success are for everyone, not just a few. And that we are all endowed with the seeds of greatness.

How about you? It may not be this quote from Zig Ziglar, you may have another favorite quote or words of inspiration that you have adopted and include in your belief system. Have you had a chance to share your favorite positive and winning words with others? I am sure you have and I would love to hear all about it at mnorton@tramazing.com.

BALLOTS

VOTE WITH CONFIDENCE Lots of information about voting in Arapahoe County, including how to update voter information, find polling place or drop box locations, request replacement ballots, sign up to track your ballot and more, can be found at ArapahoeVotes.com.

Voters can also call the Arapahoe County Voter Hotline at 303-795-4511.

FROM PAGE 1

Arapahoe County will have 29 inperson vote centers and at least 32 ballot drop boxes for the fall election, Perl said — up from 25 drop boxes last year.

Several of the in-person vote centers will be open beginning Oct. 19.

Perl described the layers of security used to ensure ballots are fairly counted and insulated against fraud.

“It would be extremely difficult to cheat in our elections,” Perl said.

“There’s so much oversight. So many eyes on the entire process. So much tracking.”

A bipartisan process Much of the process is handled by bipartisan teams of election judges, she said. Election judges are largely temporary employees who fill a variety of roles throughout the election process. Two-person teams must be composed of members of different parties, though not strictly Democrats and Republicans — unaffiliated voters, who actually represent the lion’s share of voters in the county, can make up half of a bipartisan team, as can Libertarians, Green Party members and others.

Once ballot language is finalized by the county’s numerous municipalities and overlapping entities such as school districts, county staff assemble ballot types to go to voters based on where they live.

Ballots are printed by a vendor in Washington State, and driven to Denver’s central postal facility, where county staff oversee the blank ballots being mailed to voters on Oct. 9.

In Colorado, all voters automatically receive a ballot in the mail, Perl said, meaning there is no difference between mail and absentee ballots.

Voter lists are kept up to date by comparing them against data from the state Department of Revenue, Department of Motor Vehicles and health department death records.

As voters begin to return their ballots, they are retrieved again by bipartisan teams. Generally no more than a fifth of all ballots cast in Arapahoe County elections are returned by mail, according to county data, with a sizable majority dropped in drop boxes.

Mailing it in Ballots sent through the mail are retrieved from the Postal Service’s general mail facility by election judges, and subject to strict chain-of-custody procedures including carrying them in locked boxes and tamper-evident seals.

Arapahoe County elections officials work closely with the Postal Service, Perl said, adding that Denver’s mail sorting facility is working at its normal operating capacity with all sorting machines intact and functional.

Ballots dropped in drop boxes are retrieved once a day — twice a day in the final days before the election — by bipartisan teams. Ballot drop boxes are hardened against tampering, burglary

and even explosives, and each one is monitored by a security camera.

Once ballots are brought to the county election facility, near Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue, they are scanned by an Agilis sorting machine, which scans the unique barcode on each ballot and takes a picture of the signature on the outside of the envelope.

Signatures are compared against voters’ previous ballots, and against other signatures on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles or other departments.

While the Agilis can automatically accept signatures it determines are a match, typically less than 1% of signatures are accepted this way.

Most are manually inspected by election judges trained in FBI handwriting analysis. Questionable signatures are sent to bipartisan teams for review.

If the teams don’t agree the signature is a match, the envelopes are sent for “cure,” meaning the voter receives a notice that they must verify their identity with a copy of a governmentissued ID. Voters with no signature on file, such as new voters, also must provide a copy of their ID. Ballots are then opened by bipartisan teams who separate the ballot and the envelope, ensuring that voter names and how they voted are never seen at the same time.

Careful tabulation Ballots are then taken to a locked tabulation room, where they are scanned into a computer system that has no connection to the internet. Ballots that are stained or damaged, or have stray marks, are examined by bipartisan teams before being tabulated.

Voters who choose to vote in-person must confirm their identity with a government-issued ID. Election judges ensure they have not already turned in a mail ballot. In-person voters fill out a paper ballot, unless they choose to use an electronic device that fills out a paper ballot for them.

In-person voting has accounted for a small minority of votes cast in Arapahoe County in recent elections, representing less than 10% of votes in the 2016 and 2018 general elections, and less than 1% of votes cast in the

June 2020 primary.

Anyone attempting to vote first by mail or drop box, then again in person, would be flagged by the system as a double voter and potentially subject to prosecution for voter fraud. Those in doubt as to whether their mail ballot has been accepted can check through Arapahoe County’s Ballot Track system, available at ArapahoeVotes.com.

Forging ballots would be extremely difficult, bordering on impossible, Perl said, because forged ballots would require forged barcodes and signatures that would trigger alarms in both electronic and hand-verification systems.

While elections staff begin scanning votes as soon as ballots arrive, votes aren’t tallied for the first time until 7 p.m. on Election Day. Votes are counted electronically and stored on a secure server not connected to the internet. County staff then send the vote totals to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office via a secure, encrypted

FTP portal.

“Cure” ballots, those that require additional verification, have until Nov. 12 to be finalized, Perl said. Finalized vote tallies aren’t due until shortly before Thanksgiving.

Keep an eye on things Those concerned about election security can apply to become paid election judges, which can require a time commitment as short as the final few days before the election. Perl said the fall election will likely require 450 election judges, and while the office is mostly staffed up by mid-September, the county would like to ensure an adequate supply of backup judges.

Voters can also become poll watchers, who are trained to observe activity at polling centers, but are not allowed to interact with voters. Poll watchers must apply through a political party.

Unaffiliated voters are generally ineligible to be poll watchers, unless they are associated with a statewide issue committee.

Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez, who oversees elections — and is Perl’s boss — said voters can best ensure their ballots are counted by voting early, and can help ensure safety during the pandemic by using secure drop boxes for their ballots.

“Don’t wait until Election Day,” Lopez said. “There’s no excuse not to vote. Not in Colorado, anyway.”

LIFE

Records going back more than a century are being digitized

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

ore than a century’s worth of records now packed into boxes and storage containers in the basement of the Colorado Center for the Blind will soon be transformed into a comprehensive, digital history and made available to the public.

Members of the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado are in year two of a five-year project to digitally preserve records of the state’s blind community — before the documents deteriorate or are lost.

Most importantly, project leaders said, the history will finally be accessible to the very community it’s written about.

“This is a really big project, and this is important because blind people’s history is not being told,” said Peggy Chong, who is leading the archival effort. “By and large, we don’t learn about our own history.”

Both the National Federation of the Blind Chong of Colorado and the Colorado Center for the Blind are based in Littleton.

Chong, an Aurora resident, has been a member of the national organization for 50 years, joining at age 14 because her mother and three sisters were blind, she said.

She moved to Colorado two years ago and quickly set to work learning the local organization’s history, cataloging artifacts and taking on the archival project.

There are a variety of documents and artifacts waiting to be digitized, Chong said.

Meeting minutes dating back to the early 1900s are hand-written. Documents exist in several versions of braille and need transcribing. Old newspaper clips are fading. Some records were damaged by a basement flood at the center, or simply old age.

Chong’s main goal is to make this history available to the blind community in Colorado, she said, but she also aims to better inform the community at large. The organization will make the digital archive available to libraries and universities once it’s complete.

Then maybe, Chong said, creators in entertainment like screenwriters or playwrights will be inspired by characters that don’t fit tropes about the blind. She envisions stories about the blind legislators making a difference in their states, or blind entrepreneurs opening their own businesses.

Scott LaBarre, president of National Federation of the Blind of Colorado since 2005, said Colorado is lucky to have Chong.

She has become known as “the blind history lady” for her efforts preserving history about the blind, said LaBarre, who is blind and lives in Centennial.

“I think it’s critical that we understand where we came from as a population, as a community,” LaBarre

Julie Deden is the director of the Colorado Center for the Blind. said. “It gives us a lot of information about how much we’ve accomplished and how much more we have yet to accomplish. So, I think it’s a very important project.”

LaBarre said he’s most eager to see the early part of his organization’s history clearly laid out, which he described as the dawn of a “growing movement of blind people taking matters into their own hands.”

LaBarre, a lawyer who runs his own Denver law firm, said the public can learn about the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado’s roots, how they organized and advocated for blind residents in the state.

“For a long time and all throughout our country’s history and much of the world’s history, there have always been organizations for the blind,” he said. “But they weren’t the blind representing themselves and determining for themselves what the future would be.”

Julie Deden, director of the Colorado Center for the Blind, said the finished digital archive will show how far blind Coloradans have come. Deden grew up in modern day Centennial and was born blind. She has served as

the center’s director for 22 years.

“When we have access to our own history, it gives us the opportunity and I guess the impetus to look at, where do we come from, and where do we

want to go from here,” she said.

Having history available to them also gives blind community members “a newfound reverence” for the pioneers who helped create organizations like the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado, she said, or advocate for the community’s needs.

The project’s next step will be finding dozens of volunteers to help transcribe documents that do not scan well, she said.

Time is ticking. Chong said records about the blind are disappearing across the country.

As schools for the blind have closed in various states, the facilities’ records were often discarded or lost. When blind individuals pass on, their families sometimes toss items like diaries or records written in braille, because no one can read them.

In Colorado, Chong wants to stop that from happening.

“Our history is not important enough for storage. It’s not important enough to spend precious archiving money on. It’s up to us to do that,” Chong said. “It’s important that we preserve it and we do it before it’s destroyed or lost to the wind.”

Fans at a Broncos game: How it’ll work Team will admit 5,700 to watch Brady’s Buccaneers

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis announced Sept. 8 that the state will allow fans to attend Denver Broncos games in person starting on Sept. 27 when the NFL team takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium.

“We all know it’s just not the same if they are playing to an empty stadium,” Polis said, wearing an orange tie and donning a Broncos mask.

Polis said 5,700 paying fans will be allowed to attend the Sept. 27 game, most of them season ticket holders.

Polis made the announcement at a news conference at the governor’s mansion in downtown Denver. He was joined by Brittany Bowlen, the Broncos’ vice president of strategic initiatives.

The move marks one of the significant unwinding of coronavirus restrictions in Colorado since the pandemic reached the state in early March. Polis said it is a major step in the return to normalcy.

“Today’s announcement would not be possible without … the hard work that our entire community has put into place,” Bowlen said.

Bowlen said seating will be done in small pods and seating will be broken into groups. She said fans should

expect Empower Field to look a lot different this season.

Here’s how it will work, according to Bowlen: - There will be mask-wearing requirements, as well as social distancing guidelines in place. A maximum of six people will be allowed per seating pod.

- Pods will be separated by at least six feet.

- Sections will be separated as well, with fans encouraged to use the concessions and restrooms closest to their seating area.

- Concessions and restrooms will be “touchless and cashless.”

“Season-ticket members will be entered into a lottery,” Bowlen said.

“It will be based on their priority number, or weighted by their priority number. … Details will be shared with our season-ticket members.”

A small percentage of tickets will be sold at half-price to non-season-ticket holders.

Polis said there will be an opportunity to examine whether additional fans can attend Broncos games in the coming weeks.

Polis said he hopes the return of fans at Broncos games will provide a model for not only other professional sports teams in Colorado, but for other large events.

Only a handful of NFL teams and the cities they play in are allowing fans to attend games in person as the season opened Sept. 10.

The Kansas City Chiefs played before 16,000 fans, about 30% of Arrowhead Stadium’s capacity, at their first 2020–21 season game. A week later, on

Gov. Jared Polis, right, speaks to reporters alongside Brittany Bowlen, the Broncos’ vice president of strategic initiatives, on Sept. 8.

PHOTO BY JESSE PAUL/THE COLORADO SUN Sept. 17, the Cleveland Browns were set to play the Cincinnati Bengals in front of 6,000 fans, about 10% of their stadium’s capacity.

The Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colt and Miami Dolphins are also planning to host fans at their stadiums when the season begins.

Polis rejected the idea that the state was playing favorites by allowing the Broncos to welcome back fans while other large venues and events are still waiting to resume operations. Colorado only allows events of up to 175 people right now.

“The Broncos are beloved, but frankly they are playing by the same rules here as every other type of large event,” Polis said.

Bowlen said it took three months to come up with plans to allow fans to safely watch games at Mile High Stadium. That process included construction work building upgrades.

Break Bread food program soldiers on amid pandemic Church offers pickup service, limited delivery to help people who are struggling

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Littleton United Methodist Church started its generous Break Bread program, it was aimed at young families with children, who lived in the surrounding neighborhood and needed a bit of food help, but the website says it “serves anyone who wants to enjoy it...” A one-night-a-week sit-down dinner in the church building was the plan.

Then a pandemic came to its community as well as the rest of the world, and the popular program, which had grown to distribution two times a week, had to work within county health guidelines of social/physical distancing. Food is at present available for pickup only at the Shepperd Avenue entrance to the church, just east of South Datura Street (Saturdays 4 to 6 p.m.; Wednesdays: 4 to 5 p.m.). People unable to visit the church may be able to arrange for delivery within a three-mile

Sue and Randy Poet maintain this garden south of Littleton, where produce is grown for the Break Bread program.

COURTESY OF RANDY POET Randy Poet share a garden site on their large property south of Littleton, where those volunteers raise fresh food crops: tomatoes, corn, several varieties of squash, leeks, asparagus, cabbage, cucumbers, kohlrabi, raspberries, salad greens and more. We were fortunate to visit there recently, to better realize the generosity in this church community.

Fencing surrounds the garden — to preserve the produce for human consumption.

radius on Wednesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. by calling 303-7946379 (leave message for Jen Engquist.)

Numerous volunteers are involved in making this successful program work in the church’s recently remodeled professional kitchen, overseen by chef Joe Ruder and program director Engquist.

There is also a crew of volunteer vegetable gardeners, who supply fresh vegetables each week ...

Church members Sue and

Hungry bunnies abound in the area, Sue says. And then, there were the elk — who had a fondness for raspberries and decimated a first crop! A tall electric fence now protects the berries and other tender produce.

Ruder told Sue Poet he could use anything available from the garden. “Corn came in all of a sudden in a three-week period,” she said.

“We gave away 1,800 ears of corn.” Overflow is stored in a commercial freezer in the

church kitchen.

White plastic bins stand at ready on the edges of the garden, to convey batches of produce to the church kitchen.

Volunteers work when they can during the week and the Poets supplying water and fencing.

“We actually could handle more — we have the capability,” said Sue Poet.

With last week’s snow in the forecast, volunteers came to cover tender plants with plastic protection. Hopefully the coming weeks will have more sun and additional growing days ...

Plants were started from seed during a couple weeks in early March at the Poets’ home and carried to the site when ready to plant, tend carefully and eventually share.

Sue Poet grew up in Littleton and received this land from her late mother, Littleton Realtor Phyllis Dowell, whom longtime readers will probably remember, since she was active in community affairs.

The Littleton couple is building a contemporary-style home with a spectacular view of the mountains.

In 2014, the Poets were able to install power on the property, which meant that the well could have a pump installed to water the garden.

SPORTS Practice amid pandemic is ongoing challenge

Masks, temperature checks, sanitized gear among features of athletics during COVID-19

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista boys tennis players with face masks on hiked up to the tennis facility, then checked in and had their temperatures taken before heading onto the courts.

It’s all part of the guidelines created because of the COVID-19 pandemic for practices for those sports in the CHSAA’s Sports A category (cross country, boys tennis, softball and boys golf) that are currently competing.

“It’s one of those things where you are grateful for the fact that you get to play, that you are in a social distancing sport,” said Vista boys tennis coach and Athletic Director Jim Flanigan. “So you just say, what do we have to do so we can get to play?

“We’ve had to take the num-

bers down so we can’t have as many kids on the court as we did before,” he continued.

“I’ve always had a no cut policy. This year, we’ve had to cut some kids. We usually have about 70 kids come out for tennis at Vista and we had to cut it down to 52.”

Football was one of the sports moved to spring as part of the CHSAA’s plan for the 2020-21 year that included four, seven-week seasons and reduced schedules.

In August the CHSAA stated that as part of a return-toplay plan traditional fall sports would switch to the spring as part of four seasons (A, B, C and D).

For now softball players, boys golfers, boys tennis players and cross country runners are practicing and playing.

“As far as practices, no changes” said Douglas

Cross country runners this season must follow COVID guidelines like all other sports that are currently playing during the CHSAA’s Season A. PHOTO BY JIM BENTON

County softball coach Dane Craig. “Players have to show up with a mask on and if they take a break they have to put a mask on. We have to take their temperatures every single day before a practice or game. We have to have balls sanitized before we use them.

We were supposed to extend our dugouts but actually ours are big enough.

“We have to put in more work preparing everything.

We are dealing with one thing after another, most of them kind of driven from COVID.

We had to mark off our bleacher for where people can and cannot sit. The biggest obstacle is those whether they are spectators or whatever. If people see us out there without a mask on or kids without a mask, without knowing the rules and guidelines, they call our athletic director and say softball is not following the rules. They don’t know what we’ve been told and what we haven’t.”

Arapahoe boys golf coach Harry Buckner has seen no changes in practice sessions,

“Our practices have been about the same as always,” he explained. “They work on their games individually and are separated when are working on chipping and putting.

Golf is the safest game to play during these times. Just hope we can get through the season.”

Douglas County School District athletic director Derek Chaney feels coaches are doing a good job.

“Practices aren’t the same,” admitted Chaney. “They are a little different for sure, as far as screening people when they first go to practice, taking temperature checks and social distancing when we can. We’re trying to do as much as we can. Some things remain the same but some things have to change.

“Coaches want to coach and it takes away a little bit from that when they have to all this other stuff. They are still doing the best they can with it and they have responsibilities to go with it.”
