Coffee, tea and ice cream New coffee shop in town joins Dales Pharmacy BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Hard Bean Coffee shop opened its doors on October 13, ready to serve its roasted beans and ice cream to the Fort Lupton community. “I’m not only excited about the coffee, but I’m also excited about the ice cream. I live close, too,” said Mayor Zo Stieber. “It’s great to see it finally come to fruition for Huy. I know he’s worked so hard for this,” she said. The owners are Huy and Christine Lieu Duong who also owns Dales Pharmacy which is adjoined to the coffee shop.The Dales drive-through pharmacy and coffee shop is located off State Highway 52 and Dales Place. The pharmacy was completed as of October 19, 2020, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, the coffee shop could not be opened right away. “It took a network of local builders and want to shout out to, Janell & Otis Burough, Snowy River Construction & Excavation they were the general contractors, Gabriel & Jennifer Thatcher, G.T. Electrical Solutions were the electricians and Zachary Gillham was the person who did the HVAC and Plumbing,” said Huy Duong. A year later the coffee shop opened with two large seating areas, a WIFI connection, and a charging station so when people are waiting for a prescription they can walk into the coffee shop and wait in a comfortable atmosphere to read, drink coffee, eat pastries and ice cream. It also has a drive-through window. “While they’re waiting for the prescription they can sit and relax and have a cup of coffee. We are supporting different types of customers. This is a wonderful community,” said Christine Lieu Duong. Fort Lupton Councilman Chris Ceretto said, “The ice cream was a pleasant surprise. It’s great. Huy

has done so much for the community. It’s just wonderful to have him expand.” Why coffee? Christine Lieu Duong said,” We always dreamed of providing a coffee shop for the community. It’s a great place for people to come and have a drink with friends and family.” “I love coffee and I drink it every day. We live in a world where we’re always running off doing things and sometimes it’s nice to slow down- sit and relax a little bit. We also have a drive-through for those speedy people that may want to relax and try to lay back,” she added. Huy Duong said Todd Hodges Planning Director for the Fort Lupton Economic Development contributed to the idea to add a coffee shop to the pharmacy.

“I was always meeting with Huy and teased him about a drivethrough coffee shop and you have a drive-through drug store- you can do coffee too,” said Hodges. “ They decided to move forward with it obviously and it is amazing work on what they’ve accomplished here. I’m very proud to see this.” Gabriel Thatcher owner of Fort Lupton GT electric solutions who helped with the electrical connections said “Huy came in and we asked us if we would like to help them. We were super excited to work with Huy. The more time we spend with them, the more we enjoy being around him and enjoyed the relationship with him. He’s pretty cool.” Owners Otis and Janelle Burough with Snowy River Construction and Excavation out of Keenesburg were the General Contractors.

TRUJILLO-FLORES
Rosanna Lynn Trujillo-Flores August 26, 1957 - September 12, 2021
Rosanna (Rose) Lynn (Trujillo) Flores, 64, of San Diego, CA, peacefully passed away from COVID, surrounded by her loving family, in Newport, OR, on September 12, 2021. Rose was the second-born of 5 children, born on August 26, 1957, in Denver, CO, to Lucy (Sandoval) and Phil Trujillo. She was raised in Brighton, CO, and graduated from Brighton High School in 1975. Upon moving to San Diego, Rose met and married the love of her life, Felipe (Leeps) Flores on August 23, 1985. Together they made their home in San Diego, CA, where they raised their two lovely daughters, Ashlee and Amber. In Brighton, Rose worked as a veterinary technician. Upon moving to San Diego, she worked for Cal 1st Union Bank as an executive secretary, eventually retiring as an escrow officer. She also obtained her certification as a massage therapist and volunteered at her local hospital, giving massages to cancer patients. She later attended and graduated, with high honors, from San Diego Mesa College in August, 2011, obtaining two Associate Degrees; Psychology and Art-Fine Art – Two Dimensional Emphasis. Rose enjoyed traveling and visiting family, several times extending a planned “2-week” visit into a “6- to 12-month” stay when her family was in need of help. Rose also loved dancing, gardening, cooking, canning, and baking. At home, and on her visits, she would clean out the fruits in the yards of those she visited, making and sharing jams, pies, empanadas, breads, and tamales. Rose was an extremely talented artist in many mediums: sketching, painting, photography, and clay. However, she will be most remembered for
her breathtaking watermelon, fruit, and vegetable carvings. Everywhere she visited, she made these carvings for professional, family, and friends’ events. Even with all that she accomplished, her most cherished moments were spent with her husband, daughters, in-laws, and especially her two precious, young grand-daughters, November and Cambria. She loved them so much and they were always thrilled to see “Nana” when she visited.
Memory In Loving
Rose left us too soon. She lived as she died, with her strong faith and love of God, courage, and tremendous love for her family and friends. She inspired us with her beautiful zest for life, kindness, gentleness, generosity, patience, gracefulness, and phenomenal talent as an artist. In addition to her husband and parents, Rose is survived by her daughters; Ashlee Flores (Newport , OR) and Amber Flores (San Diego, CA); grand-daughters, November and Cambria Conte; parents-inlaw, Josephine and Miguel Flores Jr. (San Diego, CA); and sisters, Victoria (Dennis) Young, Sharon Timmerman, Donna (Gean) Abbott, all of Brighton, CO, and Gayleen (Terry) Meyers of Henderson, NV; and 4 nieces and nephews. Rose is preceded in death by brother-in-law, Kim Timmerman.

No charges for officers in June shooting death STAFF REPORT
BRIGHTON – Two Commerce City police officers involved in the death of Robert Lee Alire this spring won’t face criminal charges. Seventeenth Judicial District Attorney Brian Mason sent a letter to Commerce City police Chief Clint Nichols in which he outlined his reasons. The two officers involved were Officer Michael Pasko and Officer Joshua Moody. The incident happened June 28 in the 7300 block of Brighton Boulevard. A witness, whose name wasn’t released, took her son, Alire, to North Suburban Hospital because of a mental-health issue. He chose not to accept treatment, according to the letter. The witness left the home and returned two hours later to find the home “in shambles,” according to the D.A. “Robert Alire told Y.R. (the witness) that ‘undercover police’ and ‘federal agents’ were following him and were coming to kill him,” the letter said. The witness called 911 and said her son “was all high on drugs and just destroyed my house.” The two officers arrived shortly after noon and discovered the home was in unincorporated Adams County, not Commerce City. The letter said officers waited for sheriff’s deputies to arrive. As they waited, Officer Moody talked with the witness. Both officers later described not wanting to get too involved outside their jurisdiction and waiting around simply to ensure that “no one got hurt.” Alire remained inside the home. Just after Moody and the witness began their conversation, Alire “appeared to open the front door and call for Officer Pasko to come closer.” The letter said Pasko’s intent was to tell Mr. Alire that deputies were on the way. Alire then drew a knife from his waistband and charged at Officer Pasko. A video recording shows Alire running towards the officer with a large knife in his right hand. “He was off the stairs and running at me ...within two to three seconds,” Officer Pasko said to investigators as described in the DA’s letter. “As soon as I started approaching, he, he came out from underneath the shadows, lifted up his shirt, drew the knife and came running at me within two to three seconds. “[Alire] took a couple of steps towards me uh, lifted up his shirt and drew a large butcher knife in his right hand and started running at me … I believe he had a smile on his face um, when he was running at me,” the officer added. “I noticed that it, obviously, it was a very large knife and he was coming at me very quickly … and
he was closing the distance very quickly.” The letter said Officer Pasko backpedaled and drew his weapon while yelling, ‘drop it.” Pasko fired a number of times at Alire. “I was in fear for my life… not only because of his size um, compared to mine, um, but as the look in his eye … the look in his eyes and … I believe he was smiling as he’s running at me with this knife. I was, I was scared. I was ... I felt that … my life was in danger, so I, that, that, I, I immediately went to my, my firearm and ...and I shot him,” he told investigators as relayed in the DA’s letter. Officer Moody drew his weapon and focused his attention on Alire, according to the DA’s letter. Moody fired at Alire because he feared for Officer Paskos’ life. “I saw the male quickly lift up his shirt and reach to his waistband. At that point, I drew my weapon thinking he was pulling a gun,” Moody told investigators through the DA’s letter. “Saw that he pulled a long knife out and instantly started sprinting towards Officer [Pasko]. At that point, I don’t know who fired first. It was pretty simultaneous but I made the decision to fire. If not, he was gonna kill [Pasko].
“[Mr. Alire] wasn’t listening, wasn’t stopping. Two guns were drawn on him,” Moody continued. “Still doesn’t stop so once he got to like a certain point and I saw that he was not stopping. His intent was to kill Officer [Pasko] is when I decided to shoot.” The DA’s letter said both officers fired four shots at Alire. The knife was a butcher knife with an overall length of no more than 13 inches and an 8-inch blade. The autopsy determined that the cause of death was several gunshot wounds to the head and torso. A toxicology test also determined that Alire swallowed methamphetamine before his death. “Given the totality of the circumstances and evidence, the prosecution cannot prove that the involved officers were not justified in using reasonable force,” Mason’s letter read. “Therefore, applying the facts of this incident to the applicable law, the evidence does not support the filing of criminal charges against Officer Michael Pasko or Officer Joshua Moody for firing their weapons at Robert Alire and causing his death.” The district’s critical incident review team finished its investigation at the end of July.

First, short-term vehicles, such as money market accounts and three-month certificates of deposit, are highly liquid, so, if you need cash in the near term, you’ll have it available. Second, most short-term vehicles aren’t strongly affected by financial market movements, so they can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio, especially if it is concentrated on stocks and stock-based exchange-traded funds and mutual funds. And third, you can liquidate some of your short-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major home or car repair. Without these short-term vehicles available, you might be forced to dip into your retirement accounts. You need to maintain a long-term focus to achieve your important financial goals – but along the way, short-term investments can help.

JUST AS THE SCHOOL YEAR’S KICKING INTO GEAR THE CITY COUNCIL CAN KICK FLAVORED TOBACCO TO THE CURB. Flavored tobacco products have created a youth nicotine-addiction epidemic, and nowhere is it more dangerous than in our schools. Big Tobacco companies sell kid-friendly flavors, from Cherry Dynamite to Gummi Bear to Cool Mint to Menthol. Today, over 2 million kids use e-cigarettes, and 85% of them use flavors. And for young smokers, half smoke menthols – which are easier to start and harder to quit. Now is the time for the Denver City Council to act, especially as our kids return to old routines.
