A little help seeing colors

Anythink showcasing glasses that help colorblind see shades BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ryan Oakes was born colorblind but it wasn’t until first grade when his mother discovered it. “My mom was watching me color the tree trunks green and the leaves brown. She said, let’s get you tested,” said Oakes. He’s in good company. One in 12 men and one in 200 women are colorblind totaling about 13 million in the United States, 30 million in Europe, and 350 million worldwide. EnChroma, a company that manufactures glasses that let the colorblind see colors, surveyed approximately 1,000 colorblind people and parents of colorblind children shared experiences on how their colorblindness - technically called Color Vision Deficiency - has impacted their education.

Brian David Jones

May 10, 1975 - December 24, 2021

Brian David Jones passed away suddenly at his home in Brighton, CO on December 24, 2021 with his family by his side. Born in Niskayuna, New York on May 10, 1975, he is the son of Robert Michael, and Susan Ann (Ravaioli) Jones. He is survived by Nicole, his wife and best friend of 20 years; his daughter Kelcey Jones of Fort Collins, CO; his son Bryce Jones of Brighton, CO; sister Lisa Jones Wolf (Evan) of Burnt Hills, NY; brother Stephen Jones (Christine) of Glenville, NY; in-laws Allen and Louise Henry of Plattsburgh, NY, and lots of loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and his devoted canine sidekick, Jackson. Brian is predeceased by his Uncles Robert Coager and Mario Ravaioli Jr, his maternal grandparents, Mario and Helen Ravaioli, and paternal grandparents, Robert and Stella Jones. A 1993 graduate of Burnt Hills Ballston Lake High School, Brian was co-captain of the Spartan football team during his senior year. He attended Hudson Valley Community College for one year before transferring to SUNY-Cortland, where he went on to earn a BS degree in Physical Education with a concentration in coaching, graduating in 1999 with his brother Steve. Brian participated in Cortland’s intercollegiate football program playing offense and defense for the Red Dragons, and he continued to love and carry the Red Dragon spirit throughout his life. Following graduation, he accepted a position as a Physical Education teacher and Athletic Director at Agate School District #300 in Agate, CO, where he served for 2 years. In 2003 he became a Physical Education teacher at Belle Creek Charter School in Henderson, Colorado, where he assumed the role of Athletic Director in 2004. He held both of these positions at Belle Creek for 19 years. During his tenure at Belle Creek, he wore many hats: coach, educator, colleague, mentor, and above all, he instilled in his students a dedication and work ethic and helped them to see their potential to become the best versions of themselves.

2013-2015 Coached Bryce with his wife in recreation basketball (CO). 2013-2015 - Head Coach for the Brighton Youth Athletic Football League coaching Bryce with Nicole as manager (CO). 2008-2010 - Varsity Offensive Line Coach for Brighton H.S. BULLDOGS! (CO) 2011 – Varsity Offensive Line Coach for Standley Lake (CO). 2016-2017 - Coached Bryce as a Freshman & J.V. Offensive Line Coach and was assistant to the varsity Team Coaching Staff for Brighton H.S. BULLDOGS! His love of sport extended to his personal hobbies and interests. Brian first and foremost was a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, through thick and thin. He also loved watching and playing golf, especially with his wife Nicole, and he liked rooting for the Tennessee Volunteers (especially Football and Softball with his son and daughter), New York Yankees and the New Jersey Devils. He loved to cook, which was part of a passion he enjoyed with his family and friends. Some of his favorite things were grilling and smoking meat on Sundays and holidays, and cooking with his wife and family. He had an insatiable love for fishing, which spanned his entire life. In his youth he enjoyed fishing on his grandfather’s boat with his dad and brother on the Sacandaga Reservoir near his home, and also on Mississippi Lake in Ontario, Canada. In the spaces between his work and home life he was always trying to find time to fish. His rod and reel were a permanent staple in the back of his truck, and he would fish for any amount of time no matter the weather: rain, sleet, or snow. He loved sharing his fishing passion with his family, in particular with his nieces and nephews on Lake Champlain.

His personal characteristics were that of a superhero on Earth. He would help others without hesitation. Brian never needed to know the why, just who it was and where he needed to go. His love and devotion to his family and friends were his first priority always, followed by a close second to his During the span of his amazing 28-year commitment and dedication to his students coaching career (1993-2021) Brian coached and athletes.

Harold also played in several wedding bands during this time and later several mariachi groups.

Harold was born in Denver, Colorado to William (Bill) Suazo and Theresa Marie (Aragon) Suazo; he was the eldest of 5 children. He was raised in a devout Catholic family and served as an altar boy for several years. His Catholic and Christian faith was a very deep and personal anchor for him throughout life.

In 1978, Harold and Mary started a family, bought property and built their dream home in Henderson, Colorado. They had 3 daughters, Lisa, Lora, and Abrian, and raised them in this home.

He was also raised in a family of musicians. This love of music and sharing it with family and offering it to God remained very strong throughout his life.

After 25 years of marriage, he and Mary divorced in 1995. He remarried in 2006 to Michele (Siegfried) Suazo and they were married for 10 years.

Harold went to school in Brighton, until his family moved to Northglenn in 1962 and he graduated from Northglenn High School in 1968. He played trumpet in the band, took part in drama, and spent much time after school and during summers taking care of his younger brothers and sisters. He worked at “Gino’s Italian Restaurant” during high school and several years after.

His final 16 years of employment were spent working for Tiger Technologies, an electronics manufacturing company. He especially enjoyed working for Tiger and the international trips he took with this 2nd family.

After high school graduation, he attended Regis University, where he graduated in 1972 with a Sociology degree. He married Mary Esther Humphrey in June 1971 in Northglenn, Colorado.

Harold passed away on December 19, 2021 in Denver with his daughters by his side. He was preceded in death by his father, Bill, brother, Dan, and many beloved aunts and uncles.

From caterpillars to butterflies to the District Attorney Quist students display art next year at Adams County Government Building BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An art display by middle school artists meant to evoke life during COVID will transform into a traveling display at the Adams County District Attorney’s office. More than 200 Roger Quist Middle School students created a

permanent art installation at the school of butterflies to represent a year of living like cocoons during a pandemic and emerging with resiliency by spreading their wings like butterflies. The Adam County District Attorney’s Office caught wind of the Quist Middle school display – Colorado Community Media reported on it – and reached out to the school to collaborate on an art installation to be displayed in the lobby of the district attorney’s office. “This idea was born out of the article you wrote and we saw it

in our office- we were inspired by what we saw,” said Chris Hopper Director of Communications 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. “We’ve all faced so many challenges during COVID, and we continue to face those challenges,” Hopper said. “We thought it would be nice to connect with young people in our community that we serve in a sort of a unique way.” The art exhibit will be a traveling exhibit and it will also be placed in the Adams County Government Office. Because it will travel, the teachers and students decided to make butterflies.

The student from sixth grade to eighth grade will make over 200 butterflies templates and will use colored markers to create the designs and patterns. Taylor Marino, Quist Middle School Science teacher, said when Chris Hopper contacted them over the summer he pointed out a mental health initiative idea for them on how to celebrate the effort to help kids overcome COVID by creating art. “To be able to have this displayed publicly, I think speaks to SEE DISPLAY, P6

More COVID, more games in second half of sports calendar STAFF REPORTS

COVID-19 didn’t disappear from view during the second half of 2020. It affected some teams during the fall prep sports season. Other non-COVID things popped up, such as a 10-sport letter-winner at Adams City High School, another appearance in the state 5A soccer tournament for the Eagles and the loss of a popular teacher and coach at Prairie View High School. Here’s a look at who did what during the second half of 2020. July Adams City’s Gerardo Caldera is the owner of 10 athletic letters from his four years in high school. He played on the Eagles’ football team and qualified for the state wrestling tournament as a junior. But his swan song for prep athletics was on the baseball diamond at Aurora Central High School July 5. He and other high-school seniors took part in the senior all-star game. His selection for the game is a mystery. Amateur decision There are a couple of schools of thought when it comes to the July Supreme Court decision that extends benefits to studentathletes as part of their scholarships, letting college athletes benefit monetarily from their likeness. And while the court ruling does not allow students to receive money for playing college sports, some local college athletes think that day is coming. “I honestly do believe college athletes should get paid,” said Fort Lupton High School alumnus Antonio Marquez, who runs track and cross country at Western State Colorado University in Gunnison. “If you look at the stats of where college makes most of their money outside of registering students, it’s from athletics.” August AURORA – Prairie View High School athletic director Jason Humphrey may have summed up the coming fall sports season as it relates to the ongoing battle against COVID-19. “We’re just kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop,” he said. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment decided to let local public health officials and local officials determine protocols for in-person learning and activity participation, according to a press release from the Colorado High School Activities Association. September Nick Hackney took a few minutes to remember his friend and Prairie View High School classmate, Mitchell Ortega, who died late in August in a motorcycle crash. “We had a couple of classes together,” Hackney said. “He was 2 years older, so he took me under his wing like a big bro, as he did for lots of people.” A family Facebook post said Ortega was riding his motorcycle when another car cut in front of him. “If you knew his charismatic charm, chances are he brightened your world too,” said the post. “He celebrated his college graduation from MSU Denver and impacted lives at his job at Northpoint Recovery in Loveland, making a difference.”

Honored wrestler Tom Deaguero is one of the latest members of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Deaguero coached the Adams City High School wrestling team for several years. He remains on staff as an assistant and is the principal of Lester Arnold High School. The hall honored Deaguero for his lifetime of service to the sport. October Prairie View High School officials said a comment about a gun and fireworks caused a suspension of a football game between the ThunderHawks and Far Northeast Warriors Oct. 1. The same thing happened to the Adams City football team two weeks earlier. The Prairie View incident started at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Warriors were leading 14-7 at the time. PVHS officials said someone in the home-team stands made a comment that an individual had a gun. Shortly after that, someone set off fireworks. “Members of the faculty and staff of both schools, along with the DPS Department of Safety and Denver police worked to calm the crowds,” said a Facebook post from school Principal Mike Burke. “Law enforcement looked into the claim that there was a weapon at the game. They have determined that there was no evidence of any gun or gunshots fired.” Two weeks earlier, a shots-fired call near Hinkley High School forced an early end of a football game between Aurora Central and Adams City high schools. The Trojans won the game 28-13. Adams City High School athletic director Jacob Katz said officials stopped play “...because there were shots in the area...” surrounding Aurora Public Schools Stadium, which is on the campus of Hinkley High School. “It wasn’t at the game,” Katz said. November 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 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. Calling FIFA There are a lot of things that go into Denver’s efforts to land part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup – the overall interest in youth soccer, the desire to be part of an expanded tournament field in 2026 and there’s a desire to show off Denver to the rest of the nation and the world. “This will be 10 times the size of the Euro Cup,” said Manny Rodriguez, the co-chairman of the committee making the bid to bring the World Cup to town. “It’s the world’s biggest sporting event. It drew 3.5 billion viewers in 2018. Our biggest sporting event is the Super Bowl, and 150 million people tune in.

founders Dr. Don McPherson, Chief Science Officer for the company, and Andy Schmeder in early 2000. McPherson stumbled upon what the glasses could do while he was playing frisbee and wearing a pair of tinted laser safety glasses he was designing. A friend borrowed the glasses and was shocked he could see the color orange. “Most people are born with color vision deficiency (CVD). It is a condition inherited genetically,” McPherson said via email. “The colorblind gene is carried recessively on the X chromosome maternally. Since women have two X chromosomes if they get the color-blind gene they have a “backup” and are not colorblind.” “Since men have only one X chromosome, they do not have a `back up’ X, which is why men are more often colorblind than women,”

Beth Marks-Berner, Quist Middle School English Language Arts teacher, said she was in France when she learned of the student’s commission. “I said yeah! The kids have been just so enthusiastic,” Marks-Berner said. The DA’s office brings employees to the school every Thursday to sit with the students, and collaborate on the art project together. “We have several employees who come almost every Thursday to take part in this proj-

Testing Some states test students for colorblindness as standard practice, but Colorado is not one of them. Oakes said he was lucky to grow up in Nebraska, where the testing is standard. That testing confirmed his diagnosis, which allowed him to adapt. He currently works as a Pastor. “I’m red-green colorblind. I have the green deficiency so I see Pro-tan, I can’t see green very well but when I see red and green together in certain settings it’s difficult out to pull out these colors,” Oakes said. The biggest change for Oakes with the glasses his hobby is playing board games. The board games have colors for your teams. “Until recently they haven’t done much for colorblind people and are trying to do more but when I put these glasses on playing the

board games I can see all the colors and see the distinction.” EnChroma encourages schools to quickly test students. Its test is easy and in under two minutes for colorblindness and it is free online at enchroma.com. Also, Anythink library offers an illustrated book to test for colorblindness. McPherson said he’s gratified his invention is helping people. “It is inspiring to hear from colorblind people that our glasses are helping them with everyday obstacles and frustrations from matching clothes, picking ripe fruits, enjoying the wonders of the colors of the rainbow, or better understanding color-coded information at work or school - to more profound experiences such as seeing the colors in their child’s artwork, the eye or hair color of a loved one or the colors of a sunset over the Rockies,” he said. Ledden is asking members to share their experience using the EnChroma glasses at sledden@anythinklibraries.org.

ect. We thought it would be good to just have the students and the adults interact together talking to each other while they’re doing something- in essence-sort of therapeutic for all of them,” said Hopper. Marks-Berner said the year had been difficult for the students. She does not know if her students lost any academics but they lost social skills. “This is a nice way to be together with no pressure- hang with your friends- have snacks and listen to music,” she said. Hopper said the art installation will be displayed at the DA’s office main atrium when complete and they talked to Adams County so it will be displayed in the county government center at some point as well. “’It gives the students some additional recognition for the hard work they’ve put in every Thursday for quite a while. It builds

that relationship with people in our community, outside of the courthouse, and outside of the Department of Human Services office. It is unique and can be very therapeutic during very difficult times for a lot of people,” said Hopper. The students and staff are excited to share with the public the art that will go into these government buildings and are looking forward to the final product. “The butterflies are a symbol for the metamorphosis process of change and some people would say rebirth,” said Marino. “The process of turning from a caterpillar into a butterfly and what that symbolizes for kids and adults alike. I think it’s especially relevant now since we’ve been going through an exceptional amount of changes over the last several years. We are all caterpillars and butterflies.”

he said. “Some people can suffer an injury to their retina that can render them colorblind. Additionally, color vision declines with age as part of natural macular degeneration. However, most people are born colorblind.”

Former med student opens Brighton insurance office

Sunil Pathnak cut the ribbon to celebrate the opening of his Allstate insurance company with the Brighton Chamber PHOTO BY BELEN WARD of Commerce, Mayor Greg Mills, members of the chamber board and the community.

Nepalese immigrant ready to settle in to new location BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sunil Pathnak opened his doors to offer insurance protection to the community and

celebrated his new business a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Brighton Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, December 16. “I’m still new to the business and learning, but I’m familiar with the area and have been here in Brighton doing a lot of different activities,” said Pathnak. Pathnak is originally from Nepal and studied medical school in Russia in 1994. He came back to the United States in 1997 with ambi-

tions to continue with medical school. “I wanted to continue medical school in the states but due to the foreign status at that time I could not complete medical school,” Pathnak. When Pathnak could not complete medical school then he studied computer science, information, and telecommunications and finished his minor in 2002 at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Then he moved to Texas with the motivation to start a business but to get the business experience he worked in the summer at Shell, and Chevron and got the opportunity to own a Churches Chicken. “In 2009, I moved to Colorado and had the opportunity to start a UPS store we started our first venture in Boulder Gun Barrel, then started another location in Broomfield. We expanded to twelve UPS stores in four different states. We now have three different stores in Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska,” said Pathnak. With Pathnak extensive experience starting businesses he was ready for his next venture and started to look into the Allstate Insurance business. “I thought maybe this is a better opportunity I’ve been looking for so I talk to this gentleman who had an Allstate franchise in front of my UPS store in Broomfield. I talked to him for a couple of months and it took us a year to get the process done. I took over Mike Cummings Allstate Insurance office in August of 2021. Pathak lives in Hudson with his family and is very involved with the community of Brighton and also enters the car shows as a hobby.
