Jeffco hybrid learning still has some teachers asking questions Hybrid learning begins across the district on Sept. 8

“I do think it’s important for me and certainly the Secretary of State and clerks from both parties to make sure we are being clear about how good our Colorado election system is,” said Stern.

While educating people about Colorado’s voting system is always important, Stern said it has felt more important than ever this year

When Jeffco Public Schools introduced remote learning in March 2020 as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, many schools relied on an asynchronous model — students completing online learning individually as opposed to together in real time.

But secondary students learning remotely in Jeffco this school year will be expected to engage in a synchronous learning model four days per week. And as teachers prepare to execute that model, they’re faced with new questions, many of which cannot be answered until the school year has already begun.

The Jeffco school year was scheduled to begin the week of Aug. 24, with all students engaging in remote learning only during the first two weeks of class.

Starting Sept. 8, elementary students will have the option to continue in a 100% remote environment or back to schools for 100% in-person learning.

Secondary students have the options of a 100% remote environment or a hybrid environment.

Some Stern advice from Jefferson County County Clerk and Recorder talking mail-in ballot system nationally

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

County clerk and recorders aren’t usually in the business of chas-

ing headlines. But in the past few months Jeffco Clerk and Recorder George Stern has been a subject of stories in not only local newspapers but also USA Today and CNN. The reason? Stern’s interest in promoting public confidence in Colorado’s seven-year-old vote-by-mail system, which he calls the best voting system of the country, at a time when mail-in voting has become a frequent target of President Trump.

agles, snakes, owls and other creatures invaded Lakewood’s 40 West ArtLine as Nature’s Educators and their animals visited the city.

Nature’s Educators, a nonprofit educational wildlife organization based in Sedalia, Colorado, visited Mountair Park at 5620 W. 14th Ave on Aug. 22 to

educate the public about some of its animals. Staff members of Nature’s Educators brought out its animals in different rotations and talked to the public about characteristics of the animals like their behavior, habitats and other features.

Among the animals who visited the park included a golden eagle, an eastern screech owl, a gila monster lizard, snakes and more. Nature’s Educators was recently featured at Lakewood’s virtual Earth Day celebration. The 40 West ArtLine is a four-mile walking and biking experience that goes through neighborhoods along West Colfax Avenue and the W Line light rail in the 40 West Arts Creative District.

Emily Davenport, co-executive director for Nature’s Educators, shows off a golden eagle. Nature’s Educators is a nonprofit that educates the public with its animals.

Residents gather at Mountair Park on Aug. 22 to learn about Nature’s Educators’ animals. Residents learned about behavior of the animals, their habitats and other features.

When It’s Time to Replace Your Gas Forced-Air Furnace, Consider the Alternatives As I write this, I have just completed shooting videos of the 15 homes on this year’s Metro Denver Green Homes Tour.

The tour, currently in its 20th year, takes place on the first Saturday in October. Normally, you would register for $10 and get a book describing the homes on the tour, along with a map. Then it’s up to you to create a selfguided tour of the homes which interest you. You’d have to complete the tour by 4pm that day Because of the pandemic, this year’s tour will be totally virtual, which is actually better because you’ll get a link to view detailed video tours of every home on the tour and not miss any of them due to time constraints.

We won’t release the URL for the tour until October, but you will be able to take your time to view them all — and the virtual tour is free! I’ll publish that URL in my October 1st column.

Meanwhile, let me share one particular lesson that I learned from shooting all 15 videos: that gas forced air furnaces, no matter how efficient, are as obsolete as the gas powered automobile. (That’s worth a column of its own, which, by the way, I have written more than once and will no doubt write again!)

One thing you learn really quickly in the sustainability arena is that America is far behind other countries when it comes to energy-efficient technology. That’s probably because our fossil fuel costs have always been lower than in Europe

and Asia, specifically Germany and Japan, where we find the greatest innovation and product development.

With our higher standard of living and higher personal incomes (and lower taxes), Americans have long been able to waste money and energy with abandon. The result has been to leave it to those other countries to create more energy efficient and less expensive products.

Since home heating and transportation are the most energyintensive aspects of modern life, that’s where we have seen the greatest innovation abroad. We in America continue to play catch-up or, worse, hang on to old technology.

Our continued use of gas forced air furnaces is an example of us hanging on to old technology.

For a long time, I thought that higher efficiency forced air furnaces was the direction we should go to reduce our carbon footprint. However, after shooting the videos of super-efficient, net zero energy, and even energy positive/carbon negative homes, it’s clear to me that it is time to abandon altogether that method of heating our homes.

When Rita and I purchased our current home in 2012 and installed the maximum solar photovoltaic system allowed by Xcel Energy (10 kW), we looked into how we might heat our home using the free energy we were creating from the sun. That’s when we learned about and purchased the Carrier Hybrid Heat system, which uses

Readers have asked me how I manage to come up with new topics to write about each week, so I thought I’d share my sources of ideas and information.

My primary source of topics is from working with buyers and sellers and hearing their questions about the market, contracts, and other topics. I frequently take a moment and enter a topic idea on my iPhone’s Sunday calendar. When I sit down to write my column on Sunday, I look there.

Also, of course, I get email newsletters from our Realtor association and the National Association of Realtors (NAR). I also subscribe to Inman News Service, which has a daily newsletter. Lenders, inspectors and other industry partners also have their own newsletters which often spark a topic idea for me.

It’s also important to stay informed on national issues and politics. I subscribe to email newsletters from the New York

Times, Washington Post, Atlantic Magazine, and The New Yorker. My radio diet is strictly Colorado Public Radio (90.1 FM), which has a great local news staff. Listening to music seems a waste of time with all that’s going on nowadays. I even listen to Morning Edition on the CPR app while walking my dog Chloe every morning!

For TV, I watch the evening news on both CBS and NBC. I watch CBS This Morning 6 days a week, and my Sunday morning viewing includes CBS Sunday Morning, CNN’s “Reliable Sources” and “Fareed Zakaria GPS” and Fox New Sunday with Chris Wallace. I record Meet the Press and Face the Nation to see if there’s a guest I want to see interviewed. CNN has some really great Special Reports which I always record and frequently watch. All our TV watching (including reality shows, which Rita and I enjoy) are recorded so we don’t waste any time on commercials.

Staying Informed: Here’s What I Watch and Read

an air source heat pump paired with a gas furnace to heat our home in the winter and cool it in the summer. It looks just like a gas forced air furnace, but the gas flame only comes on when the outside air is below freezing.

Although Carrier still sells its hybrid system, heat pump technology has advanced enough that gas back-up is no longer needed in our region. However, since our hybrid furnace uses natural gas so seldom, we don’t expect to replace it anytime soon.

When your gas forced air furnace needs replacing (they typically last only 15 to 20 years), don’t make the mistake of replacing it with a newer and better gas forced air furnace. Instead, look into the many alternative ways of heating your home, which you’ll learn about when those 15 video tours are released in October. If you don’t want to wait, Google “heat pumps” and investigate the options.

Heat pump systems can use your existing ductwork (as in our home), or they can be ductless (like in Golden Real Estate’s office). My Jan. 4, 2018, column described the transition to the ductless system at our office. Read it online at www.JimSmithColumns.com.

Solar thermal, using both flat panels and evacuated tubes, is another technology, typically augmented by electric and heat pump units, which can provide heating as well as domestic hot water. A few of the homes on this year’s tour have solar thermal systems.

Geothermal heating, present in other homes on the tour, takes advantage of the earth’s temperature as little as 10 feet below the surface. In our latitude that subsurface temperature is about 55°F year-round. It is extracted by running a liquid-filled pipe 300 feet or so into the earth and using a heat pump to heat that 55-degree liquid to, say, 100 degrees for radiant floor or forced air heating, or using it at 55 degrees for cooling in the summer. That takes less energy than an air source heat pump which is taking much colder air from outside and extracting heat

from it in the winter, and then cooling your house in the summer.

The thing to remember about heat pumps is that they don’t create heat (such as from burning fossil fuels), they move heat from one place to another. Your refrigerator is a heat pump, moving heat from inside the refrigerator into the room.

The difference between a traditional A/C system and a heat pump system is that a heat pump moves heat in two directions, not just one.

There is so much more to learn about efficient heating and cooling of your home. Your first step, providing the highest return on investment, is improved insulation. A blower-door test, conducted by an energy efficiency professional, identifies where the leaks are in your home, so they can be sealed. A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) can then help you bring in fresh air without losing your home’s heat. (A heat exchanger within an HRV transfers the heat in the outgoing air to the incoming air.)

Thermal mass can play a big role in reducing the energy needed to heat a home. You will see thermal mass applications in many of this year’s videos. Concrete, brick, water and even dirt can function as a thermal mass to accumulate heat from the sun and then release it slowly after dark. (There is an example of a “climate battery” using dirt on this year’s tour.) With the proper roof overhang on south-facing windows, your thermal mass is shaded from the sun during summer months but is exposed to the sun in the winter, when the sun is lower in the sky.

The best way to heat and cool your home may be different than the best way to heat and cool someone else’s home, and it’s hard to do justice to this subject in a single article. In the posting of this column at www.GoldenREblog.com, I’ll provide the names and contact info for vendors I know and trust who can provide a free consultation and estimate specific to your situation. I don’t get a referral fee from them, so you can trust that they are contractors that you can trust, too.

HYBRID FROM PAGE 1

In the hybrid model, students are grouped into an A group and B group.

Each group attends in-person only two days a week and engages remotely the other three days, including on Fridays, when all students learn remotely.

Synchronous learning in action With synchronous learning required for remote learners Monday through Thursday, secondary teachers will be responsible for supervising both inperson and remote learners four days a week.

According to Jeffco’s Restart Plan website, this means remote learners must “have work completed before the live session; will attend class at the beginning of each period; (and) will work independently or in learning groups following the start of each class.”

So what exactly will the hybrid model look like when executed? In many ways, it depends on which teacher you ask.

Melissa Roach, a math teacher at Bear Creek High School, says she and her colleagues have been told they must teach a lesson to both in-person and remote students for part of the class period, then allow students to work on assignments for the other portion of class. She plans to teach and livestream lessons via Zoom before having students break into in-person small groups or Zoom small groups. She will check in on each group in-person or remotely throughout the class period.

Sam Long, a former science teacher at Standley Lake High School who accepted a position in another district Aug. 14, said he and his Standley Lake

colleagues had been told by school administrators they would need to spend the entire class period teaching.

Long says he was instructed not to ask in-person students to complete any activity that could not be done by students watching at home, which said would limit Standley Lake teachers to lectures only and almost no activities.

Dale Munholland of Pomona High School said he and his coworkers have plans to either record and post lessons online, or livestream them, with each teacher still figuring out the constraints of the hybrid schedule and how they can make those constraints work.

When asked for comment on the hybrid policy, a district spokesperson directed Colorado Community Media to the district’s restart information website.

The website states that “on remote learning days, students will engage in a blend of synchronous learning and independent work.”

“The way that I understand it, it’s not entirely clear to anybody,” Munholland said. “A lot of it is just going to be

trial and error and figuring out how this works best. None of my colleagues have a good handle on that yet.”

Part of the reason for some teachers’ confusion has been district and school-specific communications that seems potentially at odds with one another, Roach said.

“We’ve been getting conflicting information about how long we have to teach and what portion has to be live,” she said. “We’re receiving new information every day.”

Though she has a plan for teaching in place, she said she cannot make a prediction about whether the plan will be effective until she sees it play out.

She added that an even bigger stressor for her and her colleagues has been preparing to teach live to online students.

“Teachers are saying, ‘I didn’t sleep at all last night.’ It’s what most teachers are anxious about,” she said. “The training we had (this summer) was more to do with pedagogy than it was with how to actually teach online. I think there could be additional training.”

Long agreed, saying he and some of his former Standley Lake colleagues feel they did not receive adequate training for the task at hand.

Teachers’ takes on district decisions In addition to concerns about safety during the pandemic because of a return to in-person schooling, Long said the choices made around the hybrid schedule were enough to convince him to resign from his position at Standley Lake Aug. 14 and apply for a position in another district.

“I’m not the only teacher that’s left.

We knew it would be hybrid but we didn’t know we would be expected to teach multiple audiences at once,” he said. “The task we’re presented with

has been pretty demoralizing for my colleagues. Neither group of students is going to get the attention they need.”

For many schools, a significant portion of students have elected to learn remotely every day of the week. Roach said school leaders told her that about a quarter of students at Bear Creek are learning online only. At Standley Lake, Long said he was told about a fifth of students will be 100% remote.

According to the data the district had received as of Aug. 10, districtwide, about a quarter of students had opted to learn 100% remotely.

Long and Roach said they have been told these students will often not have their own sections of a class, but will instead tune in over video chat alongside the students in the hybrid schedule. “(100%) remote learners are never going to have time where the attention is just devoted to them and this is something I don’t think has been communicated to the parents,” Long said.

With the first day of hybrid learning just weeks away, each teacher feels differently about the circumstances surrounding the hybrid schedule.

Munholland said that, given the circumstances — he feels that because of the uncertainty of the pandemic, the district had no choice but to commit to a hybrid schedule fairly late into the summer — “This is as good as it could be,” he said.

“In any hybrid model and for those in all remote learning, I don’t think you’ll get as deep instruction. But it’s a very, very difficult balancing act — it’s like putting together a puzzle and none of the pieces fit,” he said.

“Being with the kids is one of the big highlights of my day, but I also want to do the right thing by the kids and keep them safe.”

Jeffco schools face numerous technical issues on first day of remote learning District systems down, Zoom down Monday morning STAFF REPORT

A number of technical difficulties came as an unexpected addition to the first day of school for Jeffco students, Aug. 24. The Monday was a remote learning day for all students, who will engage remotely for the first two weeks of the school year, up until Labor Day. After that, students have been given the option to continue remote learning or engage in some extent of in-person learning, depending on their grade level.

As students logged on for the first time this academic year Monday morning, many were met with several different challenges. Platforms Zoom and Schoology, used by Jeffco schools, experienced nationwide technical issues the morning of Aug. 24 that affected Jeffco students, district spokeswoman Cameron Bell said in a statement for local media.

Zoom released an Aug. 24 statement saying that users in many parts of the world had reported being unable to start or join meetings, or unable to visit the website at all. Around 10:45 a.m., the company posted on Twitter, saying that the issues had been fixed.

A second difficulty reported to the district by Jeffco parents was “issues with logging into Jeffco systems and viewing our website,” Bell said.

“Due to wanting to allow the most flexibility for our families to choose their

learning environment preference, many schools were still adjusting class rosters late into last week and even this morning,” Bell’s statement continued. “This caused some log jams in the systems that our registration and rostering program feeds and some families were not able to log in for lessons at designated class times.”

Bell’s statement also reported a third issue experienced by a handful of Jeffco families on Aug. 24.

“We had a couple of virtual class/parent meetings interrupted by ‘bad actors’ who displayed various types of inappropriate material during these live sessions,” Bell’s statement said. “Some teachers and school staff, in their excitement to welcome students back and to ensure the learning began, implemented workarounds that unfortunately involved systems and protocols that were not in line with our official guidance and best practices for holding virtual classes and meetings. Staff have been previously provided training and guidance, however we will be reinforcing the protocols, guidance, and best practices for conducting online classes and meetings today.”

Jeffco staff have also been reminded of the district’s all-day Ed Tech Support office hours, a hotline for educators to troubleshoot Jeffco system issues. The hotline has been in place since Aug. 14.

As of 3 p.m. on Aug. 24, most of the above issues had been resolved, Bell said.

The district does not anticipate future technical difficulties with its own systems.

Golden shuts down all Clear Creek activities STAFF REPORT

The summer tubing season appears to becoming to a premature end in Golden.

On Aug. 20, Golden City Manager Jason Slowinski signed an administrative order prohibiting the public from accessing Clear Creek in the city. The city’s previous policy had been to allow those participating in recreation activities to legally get out of the water at Vanover Park if they had entered the creek in unincorporated Jefferson County.

In addition to the administrative order, Golden Police Chief Bill Kilpatrick has also enacted temporary waterway restrictions prohibiting the operation of vessels in Clear Creek, including all inner tubes, belly boats and other single-chambered flotation devices.

City staff made decided to reverse course and close the creek to recreation because of an increasing lack of compliance with social distance rules observed among those participating in creek activities, according to the release.

On the weekend of Aug. 15 and 16, Golden Police and park rangers made over 900 contacts with people who they observed

You Don’t Have to Struggle Financially in Retirement

by Matt Witt

ave you found now that you are retired you constantly worry about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you have been seeking.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell.

With a reverse mortgage, you can access a portion of the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!

Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

not following COVID-19-related city mandates.

“We are seeing an increase in individuals trying to access the creek within the city limits, a decrease in those wearing masks, and a lot of gatherings that we presume would be in violation of public health orders,” Slowinski said in the city’s release. “This past weekend was far worse than each of the previous weekends and I believe that the status quo is not acceptable and more aggressive action is necessary.”

The portions of the creek located in unincorporated Jefferson County will remain open to water activities. However, according to the release, barriers will be put into place, along with signage, to ensure tubers and other waterway visitors must exit the creek before reaching Golden’s city limits. Anyone who trespasses into the creek or on the banks, including at Vanover Park, will face a possible citation.

The release stated the city has spoken with local businesses that rent out water equipment and will allow them to operate through the weekend before the full closure goes into effect on Aug. 24. The restrictions will remain in effect indefinitely.

An artist and a survivor is remembered Daisy Coleman took her own life on Aug. 4

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There’s a chance you’ve seen or heard of Lakewood resident Daisy Coleman if you have access to Netflix.

Coleman, 23, is known for telling her story as a sexual assault survivor in the Netflix documentary “Audrie & Daisy.” In the film, Coleman details her allegations of being sexually assaulted by then 17-yearold Matthew Barnett at a Maryville, Missouri party in 2012 when she was 14. Coleman was bullied after the incident and was forced to move out of Maryville.

Barnett told police that he had sex with the inebriated Coleman, and was charged with felony sexual assault, but the case was eventually dropped. Barnett would eventually plead guilty to a lesser charge of child endangerment after renewed public interest in the case forced it back open. Coleman’s family said that the plea deal for lesser charges was due to local political connections in his family, BBC reported.

Coleman went on to help found SafeBae (Before Anyone Else) in 2015, a nonprofit that works to prevent sexual assault in schools.

But on Aug. 4, Coleman was found dead, after taking her own life.

And even though she’s been a face

“That was the main thing,” said Jillian Chavez, owner of Phoenix Tattoo Company at 3680 Morrison Roadin Denver where Coleman worked at before her death. “I know a lot of people talk about SafeBae and how she was on Netflix — but I think a lot of it was like yeah, that was a bad time for her, and she was an advocate for that — but her art is being overlooked. That was her main passion.”

Nemo Jones, a tattoo artist at Phoenix Tattoo Company, said Coleman was talented at creating anime artwork and was good with colors.

He said whenever she came into the tattoo shop, she was always joking.

He described her as kindhearted and creative.

“That was one of our family members. All we have is good memories of her,” said Jones. “When I heard she passed, it broke my soul. The last thing I remember is that we tried to figure out an anime design she could (tattoo) on me, because I wanted her work. We never got to finish it. It really hurts, but we’re taking it day by day.”

Chavez said people from different

states have been calling the shop and messaging it, offering their condolences. She added that a girl who had never met Coleman traveled from Albuquerque to leave flowers at Coleman’s booth where she did tattoos at because of the impact she had on her.

Coleman’s booth remains untouched while Phoenix Tattoo Company created a mural honoring her that hangs in the shop.

Outside of tattooing, Coleman enjoyed making music. Chavez described her music genre as “punk rock hip hop.”

“She was really bubbly, outgoing and really strong willed. When she came to work, it was more of a genuine time,” said Chavez.

SafeBae has reached at least 5.5 million people through its sexual assault prevention materials, according to its 2019 annual report. In 2019, the nonprofit carried out a consent summit in Maine where more than 500 students gathered to learn about preventing sexual assault.

ABOUT SAFEBAE SafeBae (Before Anyone Else) was cofounded by Daisy Coleman in 2015. The organization is teen-led and focuses on educating students in middle school and high school about dating violence, sexual assault, affirmative consent, survivor selfcare, Title IX rights, healthy relationships and more.

The organization estimates that it has reached at least 5.5 million people and has presented at over 100 schools, conferences and events.

Its goals are to raise awareness about sexual assault in schools, provide students and sexual assault survivors about their rights and resources for healing, promote consent education and more.

Perlmutter talks mail as cutbacks to post office are suspended Congressman Ed Perlmutter spoke to the media outside the Felix Sparks Post Office

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During World War II, Felix Sparks was part of Operation Dragoon, which liberated southern France, and the Battle of the Bulge — the Germans’ last major offensive in the war that was unsuccessful and depleted German armored forces.

After the war, Sparks moved to Colorado where he was elected district attorney in Delta, Colorado. He was appointed to the Colorado Supreme Court and spent time in the Colorado Army National Guard. And he lived in Lakewood — the city where there is a postal office named after him at 10799 W. Alameda Ave. “He would be rolling over in his grave today if he knew of the efforts the administration is going to try to slow down the mail to sabotage this next election,” said Congressman Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat who represents Colorado’s 7th Congressional District which includes Golden, Arvada, Lakewood and Westminster.

Perlmutter visited the Felix Sparks Post Office on Aug. 18 to make remarks to the media about changes that were being made at the time to the US Postal Service. Changes to the postal service like limiting post office hours, cutting overtime for postal service employees and removing mail

Congressman Ed Perlmutter poses for a photo outside the Felix Sparks Post Office in Lakewood on Aug. 18. Perlmutter delivered remarks to the media about the US Postal Service as cutbacks to the service were suspended until after the presidential election.

PHOTO BY JOSEPH RIOS sorting machines were causing delays in mail delivery, the New York Times reported.

The changes, which Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said he would suspend until after the election shortly after Perlmutter’s remarks, were happening at a time when millions of Americans are expected to vote by mail for the upcoming November presidential election because of the pandemic. Some have accused him of trying to delay mail-in voting ahead of the election — allegations which he called “outrageous,” the New York Times reported.

“There has been no changes to any policies with regard to election

mail,” DeJoy said at an Aug. 21 Senate committee hearing. DeJoy is a major donor to President Donald Trump, the New York Times reported, and was appointed to his position in May. “The Postal Service is fully capable and committed to delivering the nation’s election mail fully and on time,” he added.

Having first won the seat in 2006, Perlmutter is up for relelction this year, facing Casper Stockham (GOP), Ken Biles (Lib.), David Olszta (Unity and Anthony Malgieri (Ind.) Perlmutter said in a statement that regardless of DeJoy suspending changes to the US Postal Service, he would still vote in favor of the Delivering for America Act — a bill passed in the House of Representatives on Aug. 22 that stops US Postal Service cutbacks until after the presidential election. “(If) you slow down the mail, which is a pillar of our democracy — the post office is a part of our constitution. You are hurting this country in a terrible way to just try to protect an election,” Perlmutter told Colorado Community Media. “It hurts people who get their medical supplies and medicines through the mail, it hurts people who get their social security checks through the mail, it hurts busi-

nesses that do their work through the mail, and it has this other effect on potentially hurting this next election.”

Trump has recently made unproven claims that mail-in voting is unsafe.

He accused Democrats of trying to steal the election as the party pushes for mail-in voting.

“This is going to be the greatest scam in history. This will be the most fraudulent election in history,” Trump told Fox News on Aug. 20. “It’s a terrible thing. They are trying to steal the election.”

During the recent state primary, Colorado voters set a record for the largest turnout in a primary in state history with nearly 1.6 million ballots cast. More than 99% of votes were cast on mail-in ballots. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a statement that despite misleading attacks and disinformation, Colorado’s election shows that mail ballots are key to accessible voting during the pandemic. Perlmutter echoed her statement.

“The system is working. It doesn’t need to be hampered like the president wants it to be,” he said. “Colorado is the gold standard for voting by mail.

We’ve seen the numbers of people take advantage of that grow every year because it’s so easy for people to have their voice heard.”

as mail-in voting has faced attacks from the president and others, creating more public uncertainty about the process.

“Presidential years always seem to have the rhetoric heat up and we are in the thick of that right now,” said Stern. “And then COVID-19 has added on top of that with many states moving to new voting systems and their being uncertainties about it.

Stern said his office has tried to provide information and transparency about the county’s voting process not only by doing frequent media interviews but also by posting videos about the county voting system and conducting tours of the county’s election building (this year those tours are being conducted virtually with the public able to ask questions online).

He thinks it’s helping, although he said there is still a “a lot of work to do to make people feel even more comfortable.”

So what does Stern actually want the public to know about Jefferson County’s election system?

That it improves both election accessibility and security, for one. Stern said Colorado’s turnout has gone up over the course of the last seven years and Colorado is consistently in the top few states for turnout in the country.

“That’s because of how convenient it is,” said Stern. “Everyone gets a ballot three weeks ahead of time, they’ve got a number of ways to turn those ballots into us and take their time with it and research the issues.”

Colorado’s system is also more secure, he said. The ballots are paper and stored for two years, which allows for “a 100% paper trail with anyone being able to inspect ballots,” Stern said. Ballots must also be signed and every signature is verified against the signature the signature the voter wrote when they got their driver’s license (voters will be notified if there is an issue with their signature and

have a chance to correct it).

The process is also conducted out in the open, Stern said, with election judges from both parties present and members of the public also able to come observe.

And if all that doesn’t convince you, perhaps the numbers will.

“The Heritage Foundation, which is a self-proclaimed conservative organization, has found nine instances of fraud in Colorado since we started doing this seven years and in that time $16 million people have voted,” said Stern. “So we are at less than one in a million instances of fraud which show the system is working and working quite well.”

One aspect of the process Stern cannot control is the post office — and that’s one that happens to be getting a lot of attention right now which is why Stern recommends voters use drop boxes rather than mailing their ballot (and mail their ballot at least eight days ahead of Election Day if they must do so).

“Trusting the voting system is critically important to make sure that people are participating in it and believing the results of it,” said Stern. “And so anytime someone has questions or doubts about our system we like to make sure we’re correcting the record, putting out facts and representing the great system that we have.”

VOICES

Lesson still unknown as pandemic year schools us all QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

T

he title of the assignment was intentionally dumb: “How I Spent My Summer Vacation,” a holdover from the grade school writing projects many of us were assigned.

It was the first assignment in the fall semester of the advanced drawing class I taught for years as a university professor and it was always a success. It was a perfect introduction to the top drawing students in the school. Or an immediate indicator that a student had reached a level they were incapable of maintaining for 16 weeks.

I’ve reminisced about that project this summer and wondered what a wall of drawings might look like, were I still teaching.

Masks and ventilators? Street protests?

Empty stadiums? Cabin fever in quarantine?

Believe or not, the project was very challenging. Every day, we do a hundred or more things that might become a memory. Any memory can become an image in the hands of someone who is creative.

Sifting through ideas is what all artists do. “Artists” includes inventors, lyricists, architects, and anyone else who has to make choices for a living.

If you were asked to sift through your 2020 summer and represent it with a drawing on a single piece of paper, what would it look like?

Generally, the drawings I looked at were scenes from a vacation, something like that.

Rarely were they dark.

One young woman had the temerity to depict her breakup with a married man.

After I retired I was asked now and then to sub or make an appearance as a guest artist.

And once I was asked if I would be interested in teaching an online drawing course.

It sounded like madness and I said so.

The intimacy of instruction in an art room is absolute, I thought: no exceptions.

Now look.

nce upon a time, I wrote a piece about my dad in which I argued that great minds, like my father’s, were capable of maintaining seemingly contradictory beliefs. For instance, he was a classically trained opera singer who was passionate about sports, especially the Denver Broncos.

Well … welcome HITTING to the age of great minds. If we’re lucky.

HOME Otherwise it’s just the Age of Stupid Contradictions.

Some examples: the political party of the young, the disaffected, women and the marginalized just nominated an old, white guy with a strange history toMichael Alcorn wards women who’s been in Washington for almost five decades; on the other side, the party of morality, the status quo, and small government has just re-nominated … Donald Trump, an old white guy with a strange history towards women, and all kind of other types of people.

Annoyingly, the Colorado Rockies have, on paper, one of the most potent offensive lineups in the league, with legitimate home run power from six different positions on the field. And yet, they are a pathetic offensive ballclub, that seems to be unable to do small things to produce runs when they need them. Thus, their recent Aug-bust.

That’s not as fluid as “June Swoon,” but, well, what can you do? Same story.

Closer to home is this contradiction: the Logic of Large Numbers versus the terror of The One. In

the state of Colorado, according to Worldometers.com, we have had less than one percent of our population diagnosed with COVID-19; of those diagnosed, just slightly over three percent have died (which, of course, does not take into account side effects and lingering health problems); and, of those who have died, something approaching zero percent have been school-aged children. Those are the hard and fast, FACT, numbers of this thing.

But the large numbers make it daunting. Three percent of one percent (0.0003) of 5.7 million people is almost 2,000 deaths. That’s a big number. It doesn’t matter that the logic dictates an infinitesimal chance of dying from COVID in Colorado — 2,000 people already have!

And, as tiny a chance there is of a schoolkid dying from it (or transmitting it), nobody, and I mean NOBODY, wants to be the school that has the One, the first school kid to die of COVID. And, in particular, nobody wants to be the lawyer for the school district that has the first one.

That’s why schools are taking the difficult, sometimes uncertain, and always teeming with contradictions, path back to opening schools. We know that having kids in school, with their peers, receiving in-person instruction is the best thing for both their academic and their emotional development. But, rushing into that without trying to account for the contradictions is a fool’s errand; for that matter, the whole thing may be a fool’s errand.

But it’s one that we have to attempt; and, judging from what I’ve seen, it’s one that Jefferson County Schools are determined to do the right way.

Therefore, I am calling on our Congress members: Senator Michael Bennet, Senator Cory Gardner, and Representative Ed Perlmutter to continue to support immigrant youth through urging the Senate to pass the Dream and Promise Act (H.R. 6).

This act will create a pathway to legal citizenship and has overwhelming support from 140 of the nation’s top businesses and 1200 faith leaders.

I am asking members of Congress to prioritize creating stable futures for undocumented immigrant youth and to erase some uncertainty during this global pandemic.

Luckily, or perhaps just strategically, Jeffco is not the first one to cross this particular bridge. At least Douglas County and Lewis-Palmer schools are going to have students in-person first, and, maybe, that will give us the chance to learn and to be smarter.

Choosing a president Our upcoming presidential election has made me think about what I want to see in the President of the United States. I’d like to have a president in office who thinks exactly like I do, one who has never told a lie or had a scandal, and who is always upfront with the country. I think I’m pretty safe in saying that this won’t ever happen.

So, rather than trying to find the “perfect” individual, I look for three character traits that I believe a good president should have; poise, rationality, and compassion.

Poise is manners, dignity, and grace. Our president’s carriage and dignity personifies all of us both at home and abroad, and I want to be represented in a favorable manner.

I want a president who behaves rationally when confronted with dire situations. I look for four actions when a crisis arises: Gather the facts about what happened; Find the underlying causes of problems where possible; Identify and evaluate appropriate

responses and their consequences; and Take measured and decisive action with confidence.

Finally, I want a president who is compassionate. Someone who has the ability to feel for others and will want to help them. A true public servant of the people of the USA. For me, these are the fundamental characteristics of a person to represent me in our country and around the world. What do you look for in a president?

It’s time to stop pretending it’s okay to sit eating in a restaurant without a mask, but it is not okay to exercise on a treadmill at the local gym without a mask. Both activities allow physical distance between people.

It’s time to stop letting the Jeffco teachers union pretend they are somehow more at risk than healthcare workers, grocery store staff and hairdressers.

Daycare centers and children’s programs already have children in close proximity — without masks — and are doing just fine!

And most importantly, it’s time to stop pretending it’s okay to have hundreds of people show up at a “peaceful” protest but it’s not okay to have hundreds of people in a church!

In the book of Hebrews, God commands His people not to stop meeting together, as is the habit of some, but continue meeting and encouraging each other all the more!

Dance teachers learn to think on their feet Students at the Parker Dance Academy take part in an outdoor lesson in a parking lot near the studio. Dancers and teachers are adjusting to virtual and socially distanced learning, creating unique obstacles and opportunities.

Virtual learning provides challenges for dance teachers

nstructors at the Parker Dance Academy are getting better at using their words.

Studio director Lexie Steinhauser has danced and taught dance for years. But even she struggled when it came to teaching through a computer screen.

“Usually, as you’re teaching the technique of dance, you go around and touch their shoulders, tell them to go back, tell them to fix their foot,” said Steinhauser. “We’ve gotten really into imagery with our students, and with movement, how you utilize different body parts.”

Without the ability to get up close with their students to adjust an elbow here or a plie there, dance teachers are adapting their methods to reach students beyond the studio.

“As dancers, especially dance teachers who have worked all over the world, you have to learn how to adapt to a situation no matter what,” Steinhauser said. “It’s part of the gig. If someone goes the wrong way, makes a wrong step, gets too close to another dancer, the music stops, the audience throws something at you — you have to adapt to that situation and make it seem like nothing has gone wrong.”

Dance instructors throughout Denver are finding new ways to reach their students and picking up new tricks themselves along the way.

Allison Jaramillo, co-director of the Littleton Ballet Academy, said SEE DANCE, P13

Parker Dance Academy ballet students take a lesson outside the studio on portable barres, socially distanced and with face masks.

hile a pandemic isn’t the optimal time for the Denver Museum of Miniature Dolls & Toys to reveal their new home, that isn’t stopping them from celebrating their reopening after two years.

“We have as many doll houses on display in one gallery as we did in our entire previCOMING ous location,” ATTRACTIONS said Marjorie Smelt, treasurer of the board of directors. “This new location allows us to reach a whole lot more people. It also gives us the ability to have classroom space, Clarke Reader so we can have people in to learn new skills.”

The museum is now located at 830 Kipling St. in Lakewood and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets cost just $5, but due to COVID-19 restrictions advance online tickets are required, as are face masks. There is a limit on the number of people in the gallery at any one time.

The museum dates back to 1981, and for the bulk of its existence was housed at the Pearce-McAllister Cottage in the City Park West neighborhood. When it became clear that it was outgrowing the cottage the search began for a new home. That was five years ago, and in June 2019 the museum secured its Lakewood location and began phase one of a three-phase renovation process.

“All the walls in our new place are completely removable, so we’re able to open it up into one large gallery and move our displays around,” Smelt said. “We have a capital campaign going to help renovate the other areas of the building, including a workshop space where we can have teachers lead classes.”

Staff is thrilled to reopen and share their collection of about 20,000 objects including international dolls, Madame Alexander dolls, board games, toys, doll houses and wall boxes, Smelt said.

“Miniatures go all the way back to Egypt and dolls have been around as long as there’s been children,” she said. “We try to show how history has affected toys, and how toys have affected history. Toys always reflect the era they were made in, and we can use them to teach about history.”

While the history of many of the pieces is fascinating, that doesn’t mean the craft of toy and miniature making is all relegated to the past, or just for children.

“People think this is just a Victorian craft or for kids, but we’re very much an all ages museum,” Smelt said.

The angle with which the students position their web cameras can sometimes help instructors visualize a student’s form. The shy students in class have been noticeably more engaged. Less-advanced dancers don’t feel left behind in a big group and end up discouraged.

“They knew they weren’t the best in the class, but all of a sudden they were the best in their house,” Jaramillo said.

They say dance like no one’s watching, Jaramillo said.

“For some of them, it was actually true.”

The pre-ballet students, from ages 3 to 6, have been the most difficult to engage. Students are sometimes left without a parent watching at home and become distracted.

Instructors have to be more expressive and praise the students as much as possible. Lisa Leafgreen, director of education at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, said the instructors have to give twice the effort to get half the

doing what they can to give fans the chance to see them live. The show is in celebration of “The Third Gleam,” so prepare to hear some new tunes sprinkled in with your favorites.

The Avett Brothers will perform live on the backstretch of the Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29 to some socially-distanced cars, and will be broadcasting the performance live on www.nugs.tv.

output from the students.

“It’s just not an ideal format for a performing art,” Leafgreen said.

“But we adjusted. They pivoted their teaching style like we all did to put more into their teaching. It’s not that they didn’t before, but it takes more excitement and exuberance.”

Jaramillo said the Littleton Ballet Academy may not be back to full inperson teaching for several months.

The academy is operating under a “hybrid” model, letting students choose to stay home or find spots in a class. The school won’t be holding any performances until at least spring, hoping to perform “The Nutcracker” as soon as they can.

“The ones that started coming every day because they had nothing else to do realized they started improving, which helped them keep up,” Jaramillo said.

High school students lost their proms, graduations and most of their spring semester. Lisa Leafgreen, director of education at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, said the center set out to make sure its art programs were one of the few things that didn’t close or cancel. ““As writers need to write, dancers need to dance,” Leafgreen said.

“It is such an important time to stay connected.”

The Arvada Center is offering in-person classes for its all its usual dance courses. Capacity is limited to about half as many students with social distancing maintained. Lessons are available online as well.

Leafgreen said the shift to a virtual teaching format has given the center more opportunities to reach a wider range of people as well. Leafgreen said the center has had people take virtual lessons from across the country. One person tuned in from Guatemala.

“As a director of education, that was something that wasn’t on my trajectory of what I thought our program would be doing, but we shifted, we pivoted, we’re nimble and it opens different possibilities,” Leafgreen said.

Dance instructors are just begin-

Streaming style - ‘Host’ Shouts to British director Rob Savage for providing one of the best and most fun horror films of the year while in quarantine. “Host” - completed in just about 12 weeks in the midst of the global shut down - taps into the fears and anxieties so many have and channels them into something

supernatural.

The film focuses on a group of friends all stuck at home during quarantine and they decide to have a virtual séance (if you’ve ever seen more than two horror films, you know that nothing good will come from this decision). Nobody takes the thing seriously - that is until stuff starts going horribly awry. There’s plenty of “Paranormal Activity,” here, but the filmmakers’ ingenuity and a few genuine scares make it more than a worthy effort.

ning to venture into this world of virtual teaching, Leafgreen said.

“I wake up each day thinking, ‘OK, is this going to happen? Is that going to happen?’” Leafgreen said. “How do we stay relevant here? How do we continue to keep kids engaged? It’s rethinking everything we do.”

Without any competitions to work toward, no thunderous applause to look forward to and no “The Nutcracker” over the holidays, instructors are also finding new ways to motivate their students.

Steinhauser says she tries to remember what makes dance important to the kids.

“A lot of these kids, the reason they dance is for the friends and community and the relationships you only get with someone in an artistic way,” Steinhauser said. “We’ve been continuing to think outside the box to move together.”

No. 1 Columbine softball begins 5A state title defense

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — The last time Columbine’s softball team was on the diamond the Rebels were celebrating the program’s first state champion.

A 7-1 victory over Fossil Ridge on Oct. 26 at Aurora Sports Park ended a historic season for Columbine’s softball team that concluded with the Rebels hoisting the Class 5A state trophy.

Columbine, No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A preseason rankings, returned to the field to kickoff its 2020 campaign Wednesday afternoon at Dave Sanders Memorial Field.

“That’s the best part of it,” Columbine coach Jim Santaniello said about being back on the field. “These girls and coaches have the opportunity to be out here. It’s so refreshing and awesome to be out here.”

The Rebels made the return to the field even sweeter with a come-frombehind 8-6 victory against Douglas County. The Huskies led 3-0 after a solo home run by Emerson Williams in the second inning and a two-run shot by Genevieve Bower in the third inning.

Comment

However, a three-run home run by Columbine junior Emma Todd in the bottom of the third inning tied thing up a 3-3. A three-run fifth inning by the Rebels gave Columbine it’s first lead of the game. Junior Izzy Rodriguez started a two-out rally with a solo home run to put the Rebels up 6-5.

“I just wanted to keep my head as clear as possible,” Rodriguez said of her at-bat in the fifth inning that eventually flew over the wall in left field. “Just try to help out the team and do the best I can.”

Senior Nevaeh Ogden and junior Shay Cummings scored later in the inning thanks to a pair of errors and four walks issued by Douglas County to extend the lead to 8-5.

“Izzy’s home run really gave us the momentum,” Santaniello said. “Our girls really got a lot of energy from

Columbine junior Emma Todd lays off of a pitch during the Rebels’ home opener Aug. 19 at Dave Sanders Memorial Field. Todd’s 3-run home run helped Columbine to an 8-6 victory over Douglas County.

that home run. I think that put a little pressure on Douglas County. That was a clutch hit.”

Douglas County freshman Jenna Madison would belt a solo home run in the sixth inning, but that was as close as the Huskies would get. Columbine sophomore pitcher Araya Ogden was able to work out of a jam in the seventh inning and strike out Alyssa Gutierrez to end the game.

“It’s amazing,” Rodriguez said after the win to start the season that will be shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s something that bring us back to reality and something that is normal for us.”

The Rebels will look different this season.

The graduation of starting catcher Ally Distler — led the team with a dozen home runs and 40 RBIs in 2019 — leaves a big hole. Also, the plan was to have three-year starting pitcher and leadoff batter Korbe Otis back for her senior year before she heads to play at the University of Louisville.

However, a hand injury will prevent last year’s 5A Jeffco MVP and 5A Player of the Year from playing this season for the Rebels.

“This team is going to have to be a lot more active. They are going to have to be much more resilient,” Santaniello said.

“It’s really unfortunate that Korbe suffered that hand injury, but we just have to keep moving forward.”

Otis had a 24-2 record with a 0.91 ERA and 315 strikeouts last season.

“I thought Korbe would be back, but she had that finger injury,” said Ogden, who did get a few appearances in the circle for the Rebels last year as a freshman. “It was my time to step up, be a good pitcher and help my team out.”

The sophomore gave up a dozen hits against the Huskies, but was able to work out of a bases-loaded situation in the sixth inning and a dicey seventh inning where she hit a pair of batters and gave up a walk.

“The game plan was to have her (Araya Ogden) take over this program when she was a junior. We had to fast-forward that,” Santaniello said. “The great thing with her is when she as adversity she has even keeled. She just keeps plugging away. She is extremely tough mentally.”

No. 9 Chatfield no-hits Golden on the softball diamond Chatfield junior Peyton Shepard slides under the tag of Golden shortstop Gracie Putnam during the Chargers’ 15-0 home victory Aug. 22 against the Demons.

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — When Jen Lazzeri took over the softball program in 2017 she knew then that her 2021 senior class was something special.

“This senior class is one of the best ever to come through Chatfield,” Lazzeri said after the Chargers won their home opener 15-0 against Golden on Saturday, Aug. 22. “I feel bad for how their senior year of school is going to be. We are playing for them.”

Senior Izzy DiNapoli highlights the senior class that also includes Madison Shepard, Courtney Tidwell and Morgan Morrell. DiNapoli has been the workhorse on the mound since her sophomore season. She currently has a career 2.23 ERA with 460 strikeouts in 373 innings pitched.

“She (DiNapoli) is a phenomenal kid and a phenomenal athlete,” Lazzeri said of her starting pitcher and cleanup hitter. “She is quiet and humble. I call her kind of a sleeping giant. She is our leader. We are counting on her to do a lot offensively and defensively for us.”

DiNapoli pitched two innings against Golden (0-2 record). She struck out five of the six batters she faced before sophomore Brooklyn Levin pitched the third inning for the Chargers, retiring the Demons in order to complete the combined no-hitter.

Chatfield hitters peppered all three Golden pitchers that Demons’ firstyear coach Steph Martinez threw at the Chargers.

“We came out and our bats were on today,” Lazzeri said of the 16-hit per-

formance from the Chargers. “All of this is different and we are just getting used to us being out here.”

DiNapoli had no problem pitching with a solid lead.

“I like it a lot when we are way up,” DiNapoli said.

Junior Peyton Shepard reached base and scored from the leadoff spot for Chatfield (2-0) in all three of her at-bats. Her older sister — Madison — nearly hit for the cycle. Madison Shepard had an RBI single in the first

inning. She went 2-for-2 from the plate during the Chargers’ 11-run second inning with an RBI double and 2-run triple to push Chatfield’s lead to 13-0 through two innings.

Madison is coming off a season-ending knee surgery that kept her playing in the state tournament for Chatfield in 2019.

“It was really disappointing for me to lose my junior season,” said Shepard who torn her ACL and meniscus.

“Having the break with everything (COVID-19) going on I was able work harder, so to PT (physical therapy) and come back stronger.”

Chatfield had a 16-game winning streak last season, but went 4-4 in the tough Class 5A Jeffco League. The Chargers did advance to the 16-team state tournament, but lost a heartbreaker in extra innings in the opening round.

“This is our year,” Shepard said.

“This is the best we’ve been in my four years here. We have to make the

best of it.”

The 7-game conference sprint for Chatfield begins in early September.

“I am convinced we have one of the most talented teams in the state,” Lazzeri said. “I would take any of my kids any day. I know there isn’t a lot of attention on us right now, but that’s fine. We’ve got a job to do. We have big goals.”

The ultimate goal is to get back to the state tournament for the third straight season. The 5A state tournament has been trimmed to just a oneday tournament on Oct. 10 at Aurora Sports Park.

“Everyday we are out here we are blessed to be out here,” Lazzeri said of the COVID-19 pandemic that has changed prep sports across the country. “We just hope we get to complete the season for all of these kids.”
