HOLDING ON TO SUMMER

Community respond to tragedy In wake of deadly crash, Brighton baseball community rallies around victim’s team BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Brighton youth baseball community, including the high-school baseball team, turned out to honor a 10-year-old boy who died in a rollover crash Memorial Day weekend. Local media identified the youngster as Gavin Cecil. His mother, Karena Cecil, 27, of Brighton, faces a vehicular homicide charge, according to the Adams County District Attorney’s Office. Her bond hearing is set for 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 16, and her preliminary hearing was set for 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 25. Both are in Adams County Court. The youngster played on a 10U rec baseball team. It met on June 1, for the first time since the crash. “When they arrived at the field, there were players and coaches from some of our other teams there to give every player on the team a rose and let them know that the entire BYBSA (Brighton Youth Baseball and Softball Association) community is there to support them,” according to a Facebook post from BYBSA. “Then after the BHS Bulldogs Baseball varsity team finished their game, the entire team came to their practice to talk to the boys and take pictures.” “That team is just going through a lot right now,” said BHS baseball player Eli Bowman. “I couldn’t imagine losing one of my teammates. So, we went over to their practice to meet them and talk to them and take some pictures.”

In addition, the 10U team joined the Bulldogs when they took the field for a home game against Chaparral High School on June 4. “Once we all figured out that he was part of our Brighton baseball community, we wanted to make sure that we were able to support them, especially in such a difficult time,” said BHS player Bryce Peterson. “With the bond our team has built, we used it as a way to show those boys that we are always there for them.” “Cory (Cory Moul, BYBSA executive director) is a friend of mine and has helped us with logistics many times in my short career at BHS,” said Bulldogs’ baseball coach Justin Stringer. “The player who died was his son’s best friend. When he reached out to let me know they would be practicing on the girls’ softball field after our game was

over, I decided we would visit his team with our guys to show them we support them and are behind them in their time of need.” The crash happened on I-76 near Bromley Lane shortly before 7:30 p.m. May 30. Brighton police said the car was heading eastbound when Cecil lost control. That caused her car to go onto the shoulder of the interstate before it rolled. The vehicle landed in the westbound lanes. Three other people were in the car. All are expected to be OK. The crash and the investigation closed both lanes of I-76. “As a kid, I remember I always really looked up to the high-school players,” Bowman said. “So, we wanted to remind them that even when times are tough, Brighton Bulldogs always stay together.” Most of the Bulldogs’ squad

started in the Brighton youth baseball program. “Our varsity guys want to be the leaders in the baseball community in Brighton, so they jumped at the chance to show their support,” Stringer said. “I allowed the kids to be organic with the experience, and they stepped up to the plate, like they always do, giving the kids high-fives, encouraging them, etc. One of my players then asked if the younger team could run out to their starting positions with them when we played Chaparral.” “It was awesome to see the team have some smiles on their faces when we were talking to them despite the circumstances,” Peterson said. “Our team was happy to be able to remind those boys that there is always someone looking out for them.”

HILL

Ernest “Ernie” Fred Younger

Helen Louise (Courtney) Hill

6/9/1927 - 5/26/2021

Ernie was born in Ellis, Kansas on June 9, 1927, the third child of Fred and Anna Boos Younger. In 1936 his family moved to Colorado, and by 1942, had started a dairy farm in the Brighton area. After eighth grade, he quit school to help out on the farm, and in 1945, at age 18, enlisted in the Navy to fight in WWII. His military time was cut short with the end of the war, and by 1946 he was back in Colorado where he worked for CF&I in Pueblo, Colorado. On May 9, 1949, he married his one and only love, Laverna “Vernie” Brown. They started their life together in Pueblo, and in 1952, moved to Commerce City, Colorado where he began his career as a diesel mechanic. They resided in that area for the next 26 years. In 1978, they decided to move back to the Brighton area and he opened his own business repairing motors. For the next 11 years, he worked in the business, and in 1989, retired to have more time to do all of the things he really enjoyed. Throughout his whole adult life, there was never a time Ernie didn’t have a project going. He was constantly making or building something. He loved gardening, and every year, had a huge garden. He built a green house, and through winter, they had fresh vegetables. Fruit trees were everywhere on the property and he tried his hand at grafting to see what he could get. Grape vines gave him the opportunity to make

wine. He raised beef, and pigs, so always had freezers full of meat. He had to try his hand at everything…he loved projects. But his real passion was fishing. If fishing was mentioned, he was ready to go no matter where….all of Colorado, any US state, Canada & Mexico. Any trip that was made had to include fishing. His last wish before his death was to fish a particularly interesting pool on the Platte River across the street from his home. Ernie, loving son, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 26, 2021. His engaging grin and ready laugh will be sorely missed. He is survived by his daughter, Pat (Wayne) Medlin; son, Jim (Linda) Younger; four grandchildren, Tim, Nikki, Jennifer, and Joe; and six great grandchildren, Taylor, Ciara, Brian, Emma, Riley and Peyton. His is preceded in death by both of his parents, nine siblings, and loving wife. Rosary and Mass of Christian Burial were held on Thursday, June 3, 2021 at St. Augustine Catholic Church, in Brighton, CO. Interment followed at Elmwood Cemetery, in Brighton, CO. Arrangements were handled by Tabor Funeral Home, Brighton, CO. Share memories and condolences with Ernie’s family by visiting the online obituary at www. TaborFuneralHome.com.

Helen Louise Hill passed away on May 29, 2021 at her home in Thornton, Colorado after a lengthy illness. Helen was born to Gordon and Kathleen Courtney on May 22, 1938 in Marceline, Missouri. Helen married Jacob Hill and together they had six children, Jacob Jr., Jeffery, John, Jesse, Joseph, and Jennifer. They were later divorced. Helen served as Adams County Treasurer for 24 years, managing the county’s tax revenue and investments. She was responsible for tax collections exceeding $170 million dollars— funding which supported Adams County’s significant growth and development. Helen was the first female elected official in Adams County and previously served as Adams County Public Trustee. She was recognized for her ongoing service and contributions to numerous professional, political, and civic organizations. Helen is a graduate of Parks Business College in Denver. Known for her quick wit, passion for writing and crossword mastery, Helen loved politics, foreign policy,

and was always prepared for a debate. She loved to cook and was known for her delicious pies. When she retired from public service, Helen started Hill’s Harvest, a farmer’s market, where she sold produce, her special preserves, and pickled beets. Helen touched so many lives and was loved by all. Heaven has a new angel. Helen is survived by her six children, Jacob Jr., Jeffrey, John, Joseph, Jesse, and Jennifer, 15 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two siblings and in-laws including Ralph Courtney, brother, Geri Courtney, sister-in-law, Sue DeBenedictis, sister, Francis (Benny) DeBenedictis, brother-in-law, David McCammon, brother-in-law, Peggy Romero, sister-inlaw, as well as her long-time friend Judith Kahle and son Christopher. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by Delores Kroll, sister, Gordon Courtney Jr., brother, Norma Walmsley, sister, and Patricia McCammon, sister. A memorial service for Helen will be held at Summit of Peace Lutheran Church in Thornton on June 29, 2021 at 11am.

Deal is worth $2.7 million over 10 years BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton City Council voted unanimously to approve a 10-year, $2.7 million contract to secure body cameras for the Brighton Police Department. Seven of the nine council members approved the contract with Axon Enterprises. A city statement said the council asked the police department to start a body camera program. The Legislature also passed a law requiring body cameras of all municipal police departments by 2023. The purchase price includes the cameras (with the accessories, autotagging and signal activation technology), tasers for sworn staff members, which includes a voucher for training and supplies, and mounted cameras for 25 marked patrol cars. Those cameras will have automatic license plate readers, too. The package also lets the department have unlimited access for cloud-based storage of digital media and a predetermined upgrade schedule at 2 1/2 years, 6 1/2 years and 10 years. The price tag also includes installation and setup. “The implementation of bodyworn cameras is a high priority for the Brighton Police Department,” said Cmdr. Matthew Domenico in the statement. “The transparency

they will help provide the community is going to be invaluable.” Sgt. Monce Portillo said body cameras have been a priority for Brighton police for several years, not just since last summer’s nationwide demands for police reforms. “As Cmdr. Domenico mentioned last night during the city council’s presentation, the city council tasked the police department in 2020 with implementing a comprehensive cloud-based body-worn camera program. At about the same time, the state issued legislation requiring all Colorado Law Enforcement agencies to implement body-worn cameras,” Portillo said. So, I would say no, not for us. Body-worn cameras were and continue to be a priority for the department.” Recommendations came from a task force that included all police department divisions, the city’s information technology department, municipal courts and victims’ services programs. The body-worn cameras and cloud-based storage will provide the district attorney’s office with access to digital media that will become part of almost every case moving forward. the statement read. “We look forward to the use of body-worn cameras,” Portillo said. “We believe the cameras will be a great tool to help continue building trust and transparency. The cameras will also help capture evidence and highlight the good work our officers do daily.”

Quist students learn to overcome with art School created a permanent butterfly art installation BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the teachers at Roger Quist Middle School watched their quarantined students struggle with a life without friends, social gatherings, activities and adapting to a new way of learning virtually last year, they looked for a symbol that could inspire them to get through. Now, more than 200 eighth-grade students have emerged with newfound resilience, creating a permanent art installation to represent a year of living like a cocoon before spreading their wings to be like butterflies. “Who doesn’t like a bug as part of that vision? It brings so much beauty and happiness,” said Taylor Marino, Quist Middle School Science teacher. “Butterflies and moths and similar organisms are so unique and so different from our students. We wanted them to personalize something that they could leave in our school, not only for us but for their classmates and kids to come.” “We have something in our building that was a collaboration. It’s one of the reasons for the placement in the window, you can see the mountains in the background. The balls are a cocoon version of them and the butterflies are where they are- a metamorphosis, “ said Beth MarksBerner, Quist Middle School English Language Arts teacher. The butterfly installation is made of old manila folders that were purchased from a thrift store. The folders are heavy and so the kids can cut out patterns of butterflies, color them and construct them into the butterfly and cocoons. Struggling during the pandemic Students Malone Stadler and Leslie Gutierrez the pandemic impacted each of them differently. “I feel like it positively impacted me because I got to hang out with my siblings a lot more and make better relationships with them,” Stadler said. “I’m excited to be in class, I was tired of being home all the time. I wanted to go to school and see my friends. And I didn’t care if we had to wear masks.” It was harder for Guitierrez. “It was hard for me learning online and not see any classmates. I was never one to ever struggle in school and I enjoyed going to school. I had no motivation to do anything. I think we learned a lot this year and we connected and got close especially on the last day of school. I’ll never forget it,” said Gutierrez. The pandemic impacted the teachers personally and emotionally, too. “I didn’t realize how hard my parents worked and didn’t realize I liked her brother. “My family was a lot of fun,” said Marks-Berner. Marino got married during COVID but also connected with family. “Getting married was happen-

ing with COVID or not. I count my blessing for my family and have retained during COVID. I think that this year has allowed me to reflect upon how I see myself as both an educator and a woman and how I can have those two things complement each other,” said Taylor. “My focus is my family and our beautiful students, their families, their homes. I have learned to not take it all so seriously,” she added. Emerging from their struggles The teachers saw students emerge with resiliency to adjust to a new way of life without friends and doing activities. The students also realized how hard the teachers were working and develop a reconnect with them. “As an eighth-grade teacher we don’t always get noticed, but this year, I never got so many thank you cards, emails, texts from kids of appreciation,” said Marks-Berner. Marino said the impact of the pandemic for them was the school had never done this type of teaching before and had to pull something together to finish up the 2019-2020 year. Then this year they had to change the lessons to teach inperson and online simultaneously. Also learning completely different instructional strategies. There were student successes, but connections fell through the cracks. “Kids were not turning cameras on or speaking during online classes, to be very engaged kids. We could speak to the kids but didn’t see their body language. We didn’t have the warmth and connection we would have if we were standing next to a child, “ said Marino. “For teachers as sensitive as we are, it’s emotional. It’s just not something we can take lightly.” Marino said COVID was a good year for the school to take risks and experiment with their jobs of teaching. For Marino teaching science online was a challenge because science

is a hands-on activity for students. “There are other ways were can learn scientific argumentation, it is not necessarily something we do with our hands. It’s something we can do with our brains,” said Marino. The kids learned science with more thinking and reasoning. “I hammered on them with this type of learning a lot and it will benefit them in language arts, math, and social studies. It’s a skill that kids need more of because scientists don’t sit in labs all day making things explode. They look at data, they look at graphs, and they look at patterns,” said Marino. “ Don’t get me wrong, I love to make things explode and the kids do too.” English Language Arts is hand on so Marks-Berner had to be creative with her lessons. With Language arts is learning how to

give speeches and move around, collaborate, reading out loud with poetry other written materials. “We were limited, the kids couldn’t get within six feet of each other. I approached this with fairly reasonable expectations that this wasn’t going to be a normal year and learned a lot too,” said MarksBerner. The future going forward Marks-Berner said, “I’m going to spend the whole summer reflecting on what worked and what didn’t work. We take the positive things that we learned from last year. We should learn from our experiences. “I hope that this year, gives all stakeholders, teachers, parents, policymakers, administration, something to think about, I mean, our education system, it’s time for a makeover, “ said Marino.

BHS elevates Flynn to lead football program BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton High School’s new football coach has been on staff at BHS for more than 20 years as both a coach and a teacher. Chris Flynn takes over a Bulldogs’ program that came within a whisker of advancing to the state 4A playoffs in the shortened 2020 fall season. Flynn replaces Jeff

Giger, who stepped down earlier this spring to take over the program at Erie High School. “We were fortunate enough to have a well-rounded pool of candidates and a wonderful interview team with representation from student-athletes, parents, head coaches and administration who helped with this selection process,” said outgoing BHS athletic director Lindsey Solano in an email. “We are

eager to help make this transition as smooth as possible and look forward to the continued growth and success of Brighton football.” Flynn teaches business education at BHS. Giger led the Bulldogs’ program for two years. BHS made the state playoffs in 2019. Giger’s teams compiled a 10-7 record. “I just felt like I could not provide them all the resources they needed

to be successful at the 4A level,” he said by email. Before joining Brighton, Giger spent 13 years at class 1A Strasburg High School. In 2016, he was the Denver Broncos High School Football Coach of the Year. He guided the Indians to a state title in 2016. More than 40 players could return to the BHS program by the time practice starts later this summer.

Riverdale Ridge starting pitcher Easton McKenzie, delivers against Holy Family on Saturday, June 5, in Thornton. The Tigers scored 4 runs in the top of the second inning, en route to a 7-1 victory over the Ravens in non-conference play.

BHS has new athletic director Brighton High School didn’t take much time in finding a new athletic director. The search landed on assistant principal David Smith. He takes over for Lindsey Solano, who stepped aside from the AD’s job but will remain as a member of the school’s faculty. “David has worked closely with the athletic department in the past and, like Lindsey, brings an extensive knowledge of coaching, scheduling and collaboration to this position,” said BHS Principal Shelley Genereux in an email. “Having David take over this role will allow a smooth transition between the end of our current season, which runs until the end of June, the summer workout and camps and the start of the fall season for all of our sports teams.” State swim meet The Colorado High School Activities Association announced there will be no limits on the number of spectators, athletes and coaches at the state swim meets Thursday and Friday, Jjune 24 and 25, at the

Scenic rail lines are Colorado gems From the Front Range west, many trips offer opportunities for wonder BY SETH BOSTER DENVER GAZETTE

This summer’s revival of The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway — previously feared lost in the face of a major overhaul — represents the gritty persistence of Colorado’s scenic trains. They refuse to fade since their frontier births. Where many once connected commerce in the West, now they stir nostalgic imaginations. Here’s a look at some options: Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad (Adult fares $15, cripplecreekrailroad.com) Celebrating one of Colorado’s most

storied gold bases, the locomotive departs a vintage depot and tours mining history scattered across the Pikes Peak foothills. Enjoy narration about Echo Valley along the way as well as views of forests and the Sangre de Cristos. Royal Gorge Route Railroad (Adult fares $54, royalgorgeroute. com) An unforgettable journey between the mighty Arkansas River and the rocky walls of the iconic gorge west of Cañon City. The scene is beheld from an open-air platform and also from window-paneled cars, venues for romantic rendezvous. The train is unique for its gourmet meals and luxurious flair. Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad (Adult fares $42, leadville-train.com) The train takes off from Colorado’s famous gold epicenter and rises 1,000 feet to more colorful realms of wildflower meadows and aspen groves. While zigzagging toward the Continen-

tal Divide, you’ll hear tales of Leadville’s heyday. Georgetown Loop Railroad (Adult fares $28, georgetownlooprr. com) The route is iconic for the bridges standing hundreds of feet from the valley floor — engineering marvels when built and still thrilling to traverse a century later. While relatively short, the steam engine grants true grandeur in a steep, narrow canyon. Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (Adult fares $85, cumbrestoltec.com) This line is a proud throwback, a coal-fired steamer churning on as it has since the 1880s. It winds more than 60 miles from Antonito to Chama, N.M., through underappreciated terrain on Colorado’s southern edge, through swaths of aspen that glow gold in the fall and over a mountain pass above 10,000 feet. California Zephyr

(Fares from $37, amtrak.com) If you’re looking for a vintage mold, this modern train doesn’t fit. But the natural spoils are there; Amtrak knows the stretch between downtown Denver and Glenwood Springs as one of the most scenic across its national network, featuring the vertical wonderland of Glenwood Canyon. Spend a night in Glenwood, enjoy the hot springs and catch the train back to Union Station. Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (Adult fares $99, durangotrain.com) A stunning journey through the heart of the San Juans, arguably Colorado’s most spectacular countryside. Ambitious backpackers know the lift as necessary to reach treasured trailheads while sightseers are plenty satisfied staying on board all the way to Silverton, a charming town that appears frozen in time.

Given her broad experience in group adventure guiding, rockclimbing and mounting biking, Kimberly can offer hikes in a wide range of environments. “Clear Creek has so much to offer in steep mountain slopes with amazing vistas, to wildflower meadows with small flowing snow melt brooks with opposing vertical rock walls with raging white-water rapids,” she advised.
