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.
her breathtaking watermelon, fruit, and vegetable carvings. Everywhere she visited, she made these carvings for professional, family, and friends’ events.
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
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.

Mobile phones sought to save lives BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Old mobile phones, even old flip phones, can be useful if donated, according to Brighton and Commerce Citys Victim Services Unit. The Victim Services Unit is wanting old used phones to give to victims of domestic violence that can use the phone in an emergency to save their life, according to a press release. “We will take any age of phones, including the old flip phone because some seniors cannot use smartphones. These phones are very valuable because victims of domestic violence their phones are taken away from them. With an extra phone they can charge it and hide it and use it to call 911,” said Neil Holtz head volunteer, “Secure the Call” organization. The Victims Services Unit (VSU) is a joint cooperative unit shared between the Commerce City Police Department and Brighton Police Department. According to officials, in 2020 the VSU helped 4,502 victims and witnesses including 1,398 on-scene responses. Throughout October donation bins are placed at city facilities to drop off used mobile phones and chargers. All mobile phones in the United States can call 911 without service with a phone carrier. The non-profit organization “Secure
the Call,” wipes the personal information on the donated phones and resets them to the factory settings then donates them to victims of domestic violence, seniors, and at-risk individuals who may need to be rescued. Secure the Call was established by environmentalist Mike Morgan who felt the landfills were getting filled with electronic waste, items that are not biodegradable for thousands of years and contain toxic materials. The solution was to recycle the phones to help victims of domestic violence or are electronically isolated from calling 911, according to Secure the Call organization. According to the Commerce CityBrighton Victims Service unit, domestic victims happens with any age, race, social-economic status, and in any neighborhood. Abuse can be emotional, physical, sexual, and financial abuse. The donation bins are set up until the end of October at the following locations: Bison Ridge Recreation Center, 13905 E. 112th Avenue Eagle Point Recreation Center, 6060 Parkway Dr. Commerce City Civic Center 7887 E. 60th Avenue The Commerce City-Brighton Victim Services Unit is available to help.

Mobile phone network change a problem, Weld warns BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Mobile phone netsworks plans to eliminate 3G coverage by 2022 could impact calling or texting 911 service in case of an emergency, the Weld County Department of Public Safety Communications is warning. “Please know that this is not something Public Safety Communications has control over; it’s a move by cell phone providers. As big as Weld County is, there may be some people who don’t have access to 4G coverage and those who have older cellular devices not capable of receiving 4G service,” said Tina Powell, Interim Director Weld County Safety Communications. “Because this change could impact someone’s ability to call or text 911, t’s important people contact their provider to verify their coverage area and that their device will work.” According to a statement from the Federal Communication Commission, mobile networks are discontinuing 3G networks to increase space for 5G technology. Its discontinuation impacts prepaid customers, AT & T, Verizon, and T-Mobile carriers. Users of 4G or 5G devices that have Voice Over LTE technology or a traditional landline service will not be impacted by the shutdown. Voice Over LTE technology allows placing phone calls over an internet connection than the traditional analog
mobile phone lines. So customers using non-smartphones or who live in rural areas with no 4G coverage will be impacted by the elimination of 3G coverage, according to Weld Public Safety Communications. “This is a concerning issue for some cell phone subscribers but we hope the impact will be minimal. These types of issues are outside of law enforcement’s control but we certainly hope that citizens will take the appropriate action to make sure they are capable of utilizing emergency services should they need them,” said Weld County Sheriff Reams. According to FCC, AT&T plans to complete its 3G shutdown by February 2022, Verizon should finish it’s 3G shut down by December 31, 2022, and the T-Mobile 3G network shut down is by January 1, 2022. Sprints LTE network shut is by June 30, 2022. It also plans to shut down T Mobiles 2G and 3G networks too but has not been announced as of yet. The FCC recommends those impacted visit their provider’s webpage for the latest information and contact to verify if their device will still work. Also, visit www.fcc.gov for information about the phase-out of 3G.

Writing without sight Brighton native documents history
Jo Pinto receiving an award from the Colorado Independent Publishers Association.
BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Being blind, books were a mystery to Brighton’s Jo Pinto early in her life. “I remember my dad reading a book about Osceola, Seminole Indian Chief in Florida, who fought to keep his people when the government was removing Indians,” said Pinto. “So at the end of the book, I was sad because the story was over. My dad put the book in my hands and described we could turn the book around and read it again from the beginning.” They didn’t remain a mystery, however. Pinto learned how to read with Braille, and between her newfound ability and the stories her parents read to her, she fell in love with poetry. Now Pinto, who has been blind since infancy, won the 2021 Brighton Cultural Arts Commission award for a Master in Fine Arts. “I’m excited and humbled because this is my hometown, and it’s important to me. It’s where my roots are,” said Pinto. Pinto published her first book in 2015, “The Bright Side of Darkness.” It won first place Indie Book Award for inspirational fiction and received an award from the Colorado Independent Publishers Association. Born in Chicago in 1971, she grew up in Brighton. “I was born prematurely by a couple of months, so when I was in an incubator, it had a high concentration of oxygen, so my lungs were not developed, the oxygen concentration damaged the nerves in my eyes. So, I was probably born sighted, but I was

blind by the time I came out of the incubator, “said Pinto. Pinto was one of the first disabled kids in the 70s to attend Kindergarten at South East Elementary in Brighton when children with disabilities were allowed to integrate into the schools. “1976 was the big year, when I went to kindergarten that kids with disabilities were allowed to go to mainstream public school,” said Pinto. Pinto’s mom was Elaine Padilla that was very involved in the community, volunteering, active in schools, athletics, and Platte Valley Medical Center. Brighton’s Padilla Elementary school was named after her mother. Pinto was captivated by the stories her parents read to her. “So, from there on, I started writing stories down on paper because I wanted to catch stories and write them into poems. I caught the fever,” said Pinto. “My first poem was published in Jack and Jill Magazine when I was 12-years old.” When Pinto was a junior at Brighton High School, she took an advanced English class and wrote a short story. Pinto said, “These characters came alive for me - it was an amateur. It was kind of bad writing, but I wrote the story and turned it in and got an “A” and put it away in my scrapbooks.

Dark.” It’s available on Amazon. Technology, she said, has become her friend. “There are electronic machines that hook to your computer to read Braille, but I still use a computer that talks to me, so I’ll type and it echoes back what I type. I can navigate the internet through speech. The program reads Word, Excel documents, and emails programs on the Internet,” said Pinto. It was difficult for Pinto to publish her first book in 2015. There was some interest, but it did not fit in publishers’ categories. “Today, I could publish on Amazon and publish whatever I want. It is different today from 30-years ago, I couldn’t imagine self-publishing my books on Audible now to listen to it,” said Pinto. Pinto currently serves on Brighton Historic Preservation Committee and was interested in working with the committee because she proofreads textbooks. “I think history in schools is shortchanged because kids learn names, dates, places, and it’s boring- they don’t relate to it. History is about local histories, Bromley farms, the Brighton Armory and people,” said Pinto. Pinto said the committee is working on oral histories interviewing people who live in Brighton writing their stories while they’re still alive so they can preserve them for people to read and see them on videos when they’re not here anymore. What is in the future? “I have another book coming out in an anthology in the spring. It’s a combination of cookbook and history. My memories are about tamales- four generations of my family making tamales,” said Pinto. To view Pinto’s book’s visit: http:// www.brightsideauthor.com.

Pinto graduated from Brighton High School and studied at the University of Northern Colorado received a degree in Human Services in 1992 but was unable to find work in the field. “I thought I was going to become a social worker, but it didn’t happen. It was tough to get hired. There’s was a lot of discrimination, and it was a brick wall,” said Pinto. It was the 1990s and the early days of the Internet but there was a word processor and Pinto learned how to use it. The word processor was a textto-speech screen reading program called “Job Access With Speech” (JAWS). It speaks the text that is detected on the screen. The story she wrote in high school was used to practice on the Word Processor. “I typed my story in the word processor and thought it is awful- I can’t believe I got an “A” for this- but the characters are still alive. I edited and learned how to cut, paste, and move words around, deleted, and added- it got better,” she said Pinto lived in a couple of rough neighborhoods in both Brighton and Greeley with her late husband. He got sick with Lou Gehrig’s disease and his day-to-day care fell to her. She continued to write, and the couple also helped out the working parents in the neighborhoods by taking care of their children. When Pinto’s husband passed away, she decided to go back to school at Metropolitan State University at Denver graduated with a degree in nonprofit management, grant writing, and fundraising in 2004. She started a business proofreading Braille textbooks working from home and raising her daughter Sarah. Pinto published another book titled “Daddy Won’t Let Mom Drive the Car”: True Tales of Parenting in the
Ballots due no later than 11/2/21.

She has taken on the role of mentor for the teachers and staff, as well as for the students she teaches. VanderWal is an artist who motivates students to do their best work and to search within themselves for their art. Students sing VanderWal’s praises, with a current student stating
in part, “VanderWal is an amazing art teacher. She’s more than just an art teacher.

She has always supported me and my progress with my art.” Stephanie Brown - Outstanding Volunteer in Cultural Arts The category is open to an individual who has devoted time, talent and service to enhance the cultural experience in Brighton. Stephanie Brown was born and raised in Wichita. Kansas. Brown and her husband lived in Hudson, Massachusetts, prior to retiring and moving to Brighton in 2010. Always interested in drawing as a child, art was Brown’s favorite subject in school. Most of her creative outlets over the years were tole painting, furniture refinishing and any other hobby that caught her interest. She has taken oil painting classes at Main Street Creatives in downtown Brighton from both Judith Dickinson and Jeremiah White and still works in this medium. Once Brown’s children were raised and off to college, she pursued her interest in glass art for 20 years and counting. Brown has participated in Art at the Armory, Art in The Park and Echter’s Glass Show in the fall and currently displays her glass creations at Main
Street Gallery. Dolly Garcia - Beyond Brighton This category is open to an individual, group or business from outside Brighton who has strengthened our community’s cultural arts.) Dolly Garcia is a “behind-thescenes” worker who sees what needs to be done and works tirelessly to make that vision a reality. Two programs to which she has dedicated herself have made a big difference in Brighton. One is the Platte Valley Players, and the other is Readers Theatre at Eagle View Adult Center. Garcia is a founding member of the Platte Valley Players board of directors and has been the person who writes grants and works on funding for this community group. Garcia has also served on the board of directors in numerous positions, including as president. In addition, she was actively involved in the community group that had the vision to create the Armory, serving on numerous committees and teams in the design of this incredible project. Platte Valley Players would not be what they are today without Garcia. For more information, contact David Gallegos, arts and culture coordinator, at dgallegos@brightonco.gov or 303-655-2176.

“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.

CHSAA to start new playoff structure next year BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
AURORA – For the Colorado High School Activities Association, the playoff structure is a case of “out with the old and in with a new version of the old.” CHSAA’s board of directors won’t use CHSAA’s Ratings Performance Index as the sole means to choose playoff teams starting next year. Instead, the method will be a combination of CHSAA’s RPI numbers and ratings from MaxPreps. This applies to team sports: baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball Suncor Air Monitoring Print Ads.pdf and volleyball. League champions and winners
of district tournaments for smaller schools, such as Stargate School in Thornton and Fort Lupton High School, still earn automatic spots in their respective state tournaments. Brad Cochi, director of digital media for CHSAA, said a committee survey found 83% in favor of what was called “a universal tournament capture system” to choose the field for all CHSAA sports. Of those, almost two-thirds preferred the combination of RPI and MaxPreps rankings. “The genesis of this process began last year when we heard from 2 8/10/21 10:38 PM sport committees and members of the association, who identi-

fied the need to look at alternative methods to capture state tournaments,” CHSAA Board President Luke DeWolfe said in a statement. “Because this is a board policy, the board identified that the best avenue to do that would be to have a committee formed to look at some alternatives.” Head-to-head record is the tiebreaker for any final postseason qualifying spots, Cochi said. The present postseason criteria (CHSAA RPI rankings) continue through the end of this school year. Cochi said the board did not take up the issue of seeding for postseason play, just the means to qualify. “The seeding process will be
addressed at a later date by sports committees and the CHSAA legislative council process,” Cochi said. CHSAA board member Ernie Derrera, former athletic director at Frederick High School, said there was a desire in the state to look at how teams qualified for postseason play. “There needed to be a way that we could find a process that most people thought was fair,” he said in a statement. “Once our committee got together, we started with the survey, and we examined that data. I think the group we had was an experienced group that all came in with open minds and looked at the survey for what it was.”

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.
