City-backed affordable housing opens Central Park complex offers 132 for-sale units BY ESTEBAN L. HERNANDEZ DENVERITE
Putting on “Fractured Moonlight” at this time is particularly exciting for a few different reasons, Lyles and Printz said. First, its world premiere was postponed since April 2020 because of the pandemic, which additionally delayed And Toto too’s 15th season. Secondly, all the actors performing in this run of “Fractured Moonlight” are the original cast, and all are local to the Denver-metro area. Lastly, “Fractured Moonlight” takes place in a nontraditional theater space — outdoors. “It’s exciting to get back up on our feet,” Lyles said. She added that And Toto too does important work of spearheading
Zack Gibson felt skeptical when he saw the listing. A condo, in Denver, in a complex not yet under construction? After convincing his wife to move to Florida for retirement, he decided to come back to Colorado, where the two used to live. He kept looking at other options, but found himself going back to look at the future homes at a place slated to be called Central Park Urban Living Condos. Months later, it’s no longer a listing. It’s his future home. “Ultimately, it was the only way I was going to redeem myself with my wife, to be able to get her to Denver,” Gibson said on July 13. “And it’s been a great process, a process I’ve never gone through before, but everybody that we have worked with has been excellent.” Gibson joined Deputy Mayor and Public Safety Director Murphy Robinson, Department of Housing Stability Executive Director Britta Fisher, Councilmember Chris Herndon and others on July 14 for a ribbon-cutting for the 132-unit complex, located at 36th Avenue and Central Park Boulevard in northeast Denver.

Putting women playwrights in the spotlight And Toto too Theatre Company returns with ‘Fractured Moonlight’ BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Susan Lyles loves to see a play come to life. Everything about it — “from the page to the stage,” she said. Lyles is the executive director of the And Toto too Theatre Company, which is a nonprofit that formed in 2005 to promote women artists and playwrights. Typically, And Toto too stays busy year-round. Each year, it puts
on two full-length productions, four or five small-venue staged readings, its annual Play Crawl and a workshop with an artist in residence. “I’ve missed it,” Lyles said of producing plays. She added that And Toto too “sat dark” since spring 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, the theater company is back with “Fractured Moonlight,” a full-length, original play by Denver playwright Carrie Printz, running through July 24. “People are excited to see live theater again,” Printz said. “A play isn’t quite complete until it’s performed in front of an audience. Because that’s who you’re writing for — the audience.”

Denver Animal Protection warns about handling wildlife STAFF REPORT
Denver Animal Protection would like to remind residents “to keep wildlife wild — and stay away, for both human and animal safety.” Wild animals can carry rabies According to the news release quoted above, wild animals account for more than 90% of reported rabies cases in the U.S. Additionally, rabies has the highest mortality rate — 99.9% — of any disease on earth, states the news release. “Because rabies is so dangerous, Denver Animal Protection takes interactions between humans and wildlife extremely seriously,” states the news release. “Spring and summer months mean a boom in wildlife baby populations. And while these babies are cute, they can be dangerous.” The rabies virus is spread to people from the saliva of infected animals, usually transmitted through a bite. It can be deadly if not treated before symptoms appear. Even a seemingly healthy animal could be carrying rabies and not exhibit any symptoms, and unfortunately, an animal must be euthanized to be tested, states the news release. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, any mammal can get rabies, but the “most common wild reservoirs of rabies are raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes.” The Denver Animal Protection’s press release also points to
coyotes. People who handle wild animals must go to their doctor and may have to get post-exposure rabies vaccinations. Pets that were in contact with a wild animal that may carry rabies must be quarantined for at least 45 days. It is important for pet owners to be sure their pet’s vaccinations are up to date to protect them in the event of exposure to rabies. Sick or injured wildlife It is important to know that young wildlife are usually not orphaned. Many species of wildlife leave their young in a safe place while the adults search for food — usually nearby — and it is not common for the mother to leave her babies for many hours. Birds will often leave the nest before they can fly, hopping around on the ground for days. These fledglings will feed on the ground until they are able to fly. “Generally, if good Samaritans intervene, thinking the babies are abandoned, they do more harm than good,” states the news release. “Human-animal encounters are often unnecessary and detrimental to the animal. A young animal’s best chance for survival is with its parents who can ensure it learns all its natural behaviors for survival in the wild.” Sick and injured animals should SEE ANIMALS, P12

Film, discussion to highlight impact of ADA Americans with Disabilities Act is partly rooted in Denver STAFF REPORT
A film and panel discussion on the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act will be available for free streaming through a part-
nership between I Am Denver and Denver Film. The virtual film screening will show the film, “30 Years Later: How the ADA Enabled Denver’s Disability Community to ‘Boldly Go Where Everyone Else Has Gone Before.’” The virtual screening and panel discussion will be available beginning at 7 p.m. July 23 through 11:45 p.m. July 26. It will be accessible on Denver Film’s Virtual Cinema platform, available to screen at
denverfilm.org or by downloading the Denver Film app for Roku TV or Apple TV. “30 Years Later” tells the story of how, on July 5, 1978, a group of men and women known as the “Gang of 19” blocked buses owned by the Regional Transportation District in Denver’s busiest intersection to call attention to the need for adequate wheelchair-accessible transit. “The action was among those nationwide that eventually led to the passage of
the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990,” states a news release. In 2020, I Am Denver — which is a project of the Denver Office of Storytelling — conducted interviews to highlight the impact the ADA has had on the community and the role Denver activists played in fighting for the civil rights of people living with disabilities, states a news SEE FILM, P4

Denver Children’s Advocacy Center to host awareness event BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
According to data found by the Denver Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC), one out of four girls and one out of six boys will be abused before their 18th birthday. “Child Abuse and neglect happens, it is real,” said Gizane Indart, executive director of the DCAC. “It happens to any child regardless of race, ethnicity or Indart socioeconomic status. Bringing awareness to different communities (can) help with validating the painful realities of so many children, and also provides tools for caregivers and community members to become more protective.” On July 30, the DCAC is hosting a child abuse awareness campaign called Save Jane in City Park. The goal of the event is to bring public

release. The interviews took place virtually and socially-distanced during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and also coordinated with both hearing and Native sign language interpreters to ensure the video’s accessibility.
awareness to the crisis of child abuse and “instill a sense of hope that with effective interventions, kids do better and they recover,” Indart said. During the event, the names and ages of last year’s child abuse victims will be read aloud to remind people there are real children and stories of child abuse within the community. However, because the children’s identities must be protected, their real names will be replaced with Jane Doe or John Doe. A total of 11,418 names will be read at the event. Each name represents a child abuse case reported in 2020 in Denver alone. It is important to note that child abuse cases went down in Denver in 2020, said Michelle Davis, development director for the DCAC. But that is not necessarily because there was less abuse happening, she added. It is possible that fewer cases were reported because the children were not out in the community
during the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore, did not see mandatory reporters — teachers and outside caregivers, for example — on a regular basis, Davis said. “We felt this is an important time to launch this campaign,” Davis said. The DCAC is a nonprofit organization founded in 1995. The organization offers seamless, comprehensive and timely services to all traumatized children and their families, Indart said. It has multiple facets to provide a continuum of care, which includes forensic interviewing, treatment and therapy, and prevention efforts and outreach. The Save Jane event will begin at 9 a.m. and last all day. It is expected that it will take approximately 10 or 11 hours to read the 11 thousandplus names. Community members are welcome to come by anytime to reflect, show support and learn more about Save Jane or the DCAC — attendees
can even participate in reading the names. DCAC staff will also be onsite to talk with people, provide information and/or let them know about the many opportunities to get involved with the DCAC. Any of the names to be read on July 30 could be a child that you know — the child who lives down the street or even a family member, Davis said. “Children are defenseless to most abuse,” Davis said. “The community needs to be aware of the number of cases being reported right here in our city.”
The prerecorded panel discussion about the impact of the ADA delves into the ongoing struggle for accessibility. Panelists are disability rights advocate André van Hall; Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition Executive Director Julie Reiskin; actor, producer and advocate Stewart Tucker Lundy; and deaf interpreter Chelsea Lee. The panel is moderated by civil rights attorney Emily Harvey and Access Gallery’s executive director
Damon McLeese. “In 1978, Denver was a fraction of the size it is now and didn’t often make national news. But when 19 brave souls climbed out of their wheelchairs and laid down at Broadway and Colfax, the nation finally paid attention to the Mile High City and the cause of accessible transportation,” said Denver’s Chief Storyteller Rowena Alegría in a news release. “That action helped build
momentum for the ADA, which has changed all of our lives forever. This I Am Denver story — and a new and forthright panel discussion — are a must watch for those who care about true equality in Denver and beyond.” The virtual film screening and panel tickets are free, with a suggested donation to the Colorado CrossDisability Coalition.

HOUSING FROM PAGE 1
All the units are under contract to be sold to households earning 60% to 80% of the area median income. In Denver, that means an individual can’t make more than $55,950, while a household of three can’t make more than $71,950. Northeast Denver Housing Center developed the project with land donated by Brookfield Properties. The complex sits close to RTD’s Central Park Station, another selling point lauded by the city and its partners. “This is affordable condominium living,” said Leland Ferguson of Brookfield. “You have to look really hard to try to find this type of option anywhere else in the city.” The project cost $35.9 million, with the city’s Affordable Housing Fund kicking in $2.6 million. It includes 51 one-bedroom units and 81 two-bedroom units. The units come with 9-foot ceilings and big windows, and some even have balconies. The city’s celebration comes as closing prices for homes in the metro area just keep skyrocketing. It’s fueling fears homeownership in Denver is growing out of reach for many. The least-expensive property in the city to change hands last month was $147,900, comparable to the price range for these new affordable condos, which range in price from $139,500 to $169,500. The median closing price for a home in the metro area last month was $545,000, a record.

Herndon, who represents the area where the new condos opened, said the condo sales show the continued need for housing for all levels in the city. He welcomed the new residents to his district. The include, according to Northeast Denver Housing Center Executive Director Gete Mekonnen, a paralegal, tax examiner, biomedical technician, chemist, a flight attendant, a shopkeeper and a bus operator. Mekonnen said 22% of people
living there are 25 years old or younger. “They needed the opportunity, and that’s what this development provides,” Mekonnen said. One of the first things Gibson did when he toured his potential new home was look at the central air unit. He used to work in the HVAC industry, so it’s kind of his thing. He marveled at what he saw, calling it “top-notch stuff.” He got excited about the sprinkler system and the
smoke dampers in the air ducts. He said he will be closing on his unit in Tower A shortly. He’s pretty stoked about it. “Tower A rules,” he said, prompting laughter during the celebration.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the curators behind galleries all over town found the loss of their spaces just as devastating as the artists. Shanna Shelby, curator of exhibitions with the City and County of Denver’s Arts and Venues department, is still getting used to things returning to some kind of normal. “It was really emotionally devastating to not have artwork on the wall for so long (at the McNichols Civic Center Building),” Shelby said. “Everyone is really excited to see the building reopened and to see artwork on the walls. This place is part of our community heart.” McNichols, in Civic Center at 144 W. Colfax Ave., is returning with three free new summer art exhibitions, all created with Major League Baseball’s recent All-Star Week in Denver in mind: Shades of Greatness (through Sept. 7), Black Love Mural Festival Remix (through Oct. 3) and All-Star Alliance: Denver’s Cross-Cultural Muralists (through Oct. 3). Shades of Greatness (on display on the first floor), was created with the Negro League’s Baseball Museum and tells the story of the historic organization. It features 35 original works of art produced by 28 artists from all over the country. The Black Love Mural Festival Remix (on display on the second floor) features artists from the Black Love
Shades of Greatness, an exhibition of art inspired by Negro Leagues baseball, is on display at McNichols Civic Center Building through Sept. 7. PHOTO COURTESY DENVER ARTS & VENUES
Mural Festival’s lineup of creatives. They were invited to collaborate to create 30 new works to be displayed in the show. And the All-Star Alliance (presented on the third floor) highlights the works of some of Denver’s most well-known muralists, like Casey Kawaguchi and LaDopa. The artists were commissioned by the MLB to create baseball-themed murals, and they will also display their studio work. “The artists participating in some of these exhibits may not be trained, but the work is very powerful and impactful,” Shelby said. “And so positive.” Most curators spend months, and sometimes even years, planning and preparing for an exhibition, but with the MLB All-Star Game’s
surprise move to Denver, things had to move quickly. The gallery’s staff had been scattered due to the pandemic, but the exhibits were still prepared in time for the game. “Visually and thematically it all works really well together. And (it was) a huge opportunity for these artists to be in front of so many because of the game,” Shelby said. “We’re all repairing, but it takes time. Curating exhibits has been a lifelong joy for me, so this is a very joyful return. I think people are feeling a little tender-hearted, and we’re all so moved and happy to see what we have in this space.” For more information on the exhibits, visit mcnicholsbuilding.com.

Addressing residents’ three main concerns
T
his July will mark two years that I have had the honor of representing the people of District 5 on the Denver City Council. I decided GUEST to run for office to bring the voice of COLUMN the people back to city government. My team and I live by four core values — transparency, accountability, customer service and good communication. When I ran for Amanda Sawyer office, I knocked on more than 14,000 doors and I heard three main concerns from residents in east Denver community. They were development, traffic and crime. While the priority levels of these three concerns have changed over time in response to events in the neighborhood, those three concerns have remained top of mind for District 5 neighbors. Having this information allows me to be responsive to those needs, so thank you to everyone who has participated in our annual surveys —and please
T
look for the 2021 survey this fall. In response to crime and safety issues, I recently wrote a grant application in partnership with the District 2 Denver Police Department for a pilot program to institute foot patrols on East Colfax between Monaco Parkway and Yosemite Street, and between 11th and 17th Avenues. In 2020, that area saw a 163% rise in violent person-on-person crime. East Colfax as a neighborhood had a murder rate of more than 10% last year but it only makes up 1.5% of the population of Denver. I am proud that I’ve been able to work with Denver Police to try to find a balance between recognizing that people do not want to feel over-policed, but that they do want to feel safe. To respond to concerns about traffic speeds and volume, I took advantage of some vacancy savings in my budget and am working with the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure to perform a traffic study of Eighth Avenue from Colorado Boulevard to Quebec Street. By studying the street holistically, we can determine where to install traffic calming measures and add safer crossings, and use data to enhance safety along that entire corridor. I
also advocated for a traffic signal at Newport Street and Alameda Avenue, which is currently on-track for completion by early 2022, as are traffic calming measures on 13th and 14th Avenues which are set to be installed by the end of 2021. In terms of development, I have always advocated for a more thoughtful approach and have voted against many of the rezoning proposals that have come before city council. Currently, I am working on a legislative rezoning of the East Colfax neighborhood to allow for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). If approved, this would add gentle density and diverse housing stock while also lowering some of the barriers to building an ADU in the neighborhood, add more attainable housing options in East Colfax, and provide a wealth-building opportunity to property owners already living along the East Colfax corridor. And, finally, as we look at the consequences of COVID-19 and the overwhelming number of people who are facing evictions in our city, I have advanced an ordinance in partnership with District 9 Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca that will create access to legal counsel for any
resident facing eviction who makes less than 80% of the area median income, which is approximately $85,000 for a family of four. The amount of money Denver spends on post-eviction services like homelessness and sheltering is astronomical. So, it makes sense to take care of our residents upstream and provide them with the support they need before they get evicted. It doesn’t necessarily mean that these residents will get to remain in their homes, but it does provide an opportunity to achieve better outcomes for them than an eviction on their credit history that will affect their ability to find housing in the future.

Seed collecting for the home gardener
he boom of colors and blooms that reign down at the Denver Botanic Gardens this time of year is astounding. From the first gardens you see as GUEST you walk through COLUMN the front gate, Brooke Palmer such as the WaterSmart Garden, to one of the last, our world-famous Rock Alpine Garden collection, the blooms never disappoint. These blooms are ensured year after year with the help of seed collecting — often, the collected seeds are grown over the winter in the greenhouses and planted outdoors the next spring for awesome blooms. Of course, this does not have to stop at the expertise of the hardworking horticulturists of the Denver Botanic Gardens — it’s something you can practice as well in your home garden. Not only can it provide an opportunity to preserve your garden flowers — perennials and annuals alike A flowerhead of pincushion flower (Scabiosa graminifolia var. compacta), ready to be harvested.

— seed harvesting lends a way to share your lovely favorites with friends, family and neighbors. Finding the right time to harvest As the flowers fade, the fruits and seeds begin to form. Collecting at the right time can be tricky, because if you harvest the seeds and fruits too early, you risk collecting underdeveloped seeds that will not be able to germinate later. You may find yourself playing “I spy some seeds” all summer long in order to harvest at the right time, especially since not all plants bloom and go to seed at the same time. There are plenty of exceptions, but a trick I like to do for most plants is to look for old flower heads or fruits that are brown and

How to collect Once you get to this stage, the collecting itself is easy. Make sure you have some paper or cloth bags on hand for collecting, as this will ensure your seeds stay nice and dry when you get to point of storing them. For this reason, avoid plastic bags. I love repurposing paper bags from restaurants and grocery stores just for collecting seeds. When you see seeds that are ready to harvest, you can either snip the dried fruits right into the bags, or hand-pluck them if there are not too many. Don’t forget to write down what you have collected as you go.
“Fractured Moonlight,” concludes its run Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, July 22-24 on the Lawn at the Colorado Free University, 7653 E. First Place, which is in Denver’s Lowry neighborhood. Curtain is 7 p.m. for all performances, which run without intermission. Tickets cost $20 and can be purchased online or by phone. Sales will be limited to 30 tickets per night to allow for socially-distanced seating. Because the play setting is outdoors, attendees should bring their own chairs. “Fractured Moonlight” is written by Denver playwright Carrie Printz. This run of the play is produced by And Toto too Theatre Company and directed by Susan Lyles. To purchase tickets by phone, call 720-583-3975.

and cleaned before storing them for the winter. Seed cleaning is a topic for a different day, but for most seeds, you want to clean them from their fruits and chaff (other dried up flower parts) and store them in paper bags or envelopes. They should be stored in a dark, cool room or closet until you are ready to plant in the fall or spring. If you know where to look, seed harvesting can be a great way to insure you have the same lovely flowers year after year, and a hidden joy in your regular garden care.

orseback riding offers a great way to get fresh air and exercise for some folks. Others love it because they love the animals themselves. But Noah Montgomery and Simon Glasser come to Loveland’s Hearts & Horses Therapeutic Riding Center as a regular part of their therapy. Riding horses, caregivers say, helps them physically and helps improve their quality of life. Montgomery is 6 years old with cerebral palsy ataxia and has been riding since he was 3. Glasser is 5, diagnosed with a disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy, who has been riding since preschool. Ashley Montgomery, Noah’s mom, said it’s something he looks forward to. “He loves riding Xellie and is probably one of the highlights of his week. It’s awesome they have a program for people like Noah.” Justine Mathis, who babysits for Glasser, agreed. “This program makes him feel good and helps with some of the strain,” she said. Hearts & Horses is a therapeutic riding facility established in 1997. It was founded by a group of volunteers who were working at a previous therapeutic riding center after it closed. “A group of volunteers got together and decided there’s still a need
for this and got something started. We were founded and ran by volunteers for many years, and it’s a nonprofit registered 501(c)(3),” said Summer Alameel, development and communications manager of Hearts & Horses. Hearts & Horses helps an estimated 1,000 participants per year. With a quarter of a century of experience with special-needs riders, the center provides a special kind of therapy for people from ages 3 to 99. “The services we provide for are for post-traumatic stress disorder, cerebral palsy, autism and dementia. The participants are paired with horses in a structured therapeutic setting,” said Alameel. Groundbreaking research Alameel pointed to the Man O’ War Project at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, the first university-led research trial to establish guidelines for the application of equine-assisted therapy, or EAT, for treating veterans with PTSD and to examine the effectiveness of the new treatment for veterans. Hearts & Horses is part of that trial and Alameel said veterans in northern Colorado can gain access to this unique treatment option at no cost by working with Hearts & Horses. “This groundbreaking research project will provide the first clinical evidence of the effectiveness of (equine-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder) for treating veterans who suffer from

PTSD,” Alameel said. Therapy trainer Rachel Karneffel has been teaching therapeutic riding for 20 years and has been with Hearts & Horses for more than six. She is certified with the International Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship. “Therapeutic riding or adaptive riding has been something that people have known for a very long time that works,” Karneffel said. “We are doing autism studies here with our research at Colorado
State University at the Temple Grandin Equine Center,” Karneffel said. “It proves what we already know, which is that horses are incredibly healing.” Karneffel said the one therapeutic feature about horses is how their body moves with their rider’s body, much like walking. That steady, swaying movement of the horse comes from all angles and directions. How that movement SEE HORSES, P11

differs between horses makes them better for certain riders and more useful for certain therapies. “We try to match riders with a horse that has the movement closest to what they need, as well as the temperament,” she said. Simon Glasser, the boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, has some muscle weakness. The way the horses moved hurt his legs at first, making just sitting on the horse difficult. Eventually, however, it helped him. “The movement of the horse from side to side is moving his core to keep balanced, and moving his legs in a way that is similar to how he would be moving naturally,” said Karneffel. ‘Something incredible’ Hearts & Horses has one of the largest volunteer programs in Larimer County. Their numbers declined in 2020 due to COVID, but the group continued to have more than 200 active volunteers throughout the year. In any given year it could go up from 700 to 1,000 volunteers. David Erbeck is a Hearts & Horses volunteer and a retired firefighter for nearly 30 years. “It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever done. I got to be a part of something incredible, such as saving lives and rescues. I never cried in 30 years as a firefighter. It brings tears to my eyes — we’re saving people here and it’s amazing,” Erbeck said. There are 26 horses and a handful of them are therapy horses in training. There is extensive training involved for therapeutic riding and an animal’s temperament is key. As a therapy program, it’s important to have a horse that does not spook easily. There are other accommodations that must be made. Some of the riders use wheelchairs for mobility, so volunteers built a lift ramp to help riders get on and off the horse. In the outside area is a trail, called the “Trail of Discovery,” which they use for outdoor classes. It’s designed as a sensory trail for participants who have sensory issues such as autism spectrum disorder.

For Montgomery, riding has taught him the process of doing something physical while also teaching him the benefit of having patience — something necessary to ride a horse. “If you can control 1,000-pound animals and get them to do what you want in a kind, assertive, calm, relaxed way, you can do anything in your life. The magic of our students is to take those skills and bring them outside whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, and socially,” said Karneffel. Community support Hearts & Horses receives donations from the community and also has one large annual event, the “Lucky Hearts” annual gala in October at the Embassy Suites in Loveland, which also includes a casino night. “We are currently looking for sponsors, corporate sponsors, family foundations and anyone who is looking to sponsor the event,” said

Alameel. “It’s our primary source of funding for the year. We also have a lot of corporate support from individual donors giving $5 a month.” An average lesson is $95. Hearts & Horses recognizes that some riders cannot afford that, so the group fundraises for every lesson, up to $60, to offset the cost. Even with a reduced
fee of $35, it’s a lesson some families cannot afford. So, an additional 56% is needed in financial support for some of the riders in a form of a scholarship. “We fundraise all of the money to make sure that we never turn a rider away because they can’t pay,” said Alameel.

Denver’s smoky air keeps some kids indoors Childcare centers are monitoring wildfire smoke BY REBECCA SPIESS DENVERITE
Denver’s air quality is suffering as wildfire smoke billows across the Rocky Mountains from Western states like Oregon, California and Idaho. It’s bad for a lot of us, and downright dangerous for others. Just like extreme heat, bad air quality affects the oldest and youngest most, and childcare centers are adapting. For some kids in Denver, this means less time outdoors. Mile High Learning has been
providing subsidized childcare and teaching in Denver since 1970. The center’s president, Pamela Harris, said her school directors have experienced more kids with runny noses and coughs — especially in kids with asthma. “(School directors) do have concern about the air quality,” Harris wrote in an email. “However, we have not changed our practices in terms of limiting time outdoors at this point, although we will be monitoring as things continue to evolve.” Other preschools have already taken the next step. Shannan Meyer from the Primrose School at Lowry, part of a nationwide chain of private preschools, said her organization monitors the city’s air quality indexes.
“If it’s moderate, we do a limited time outside, and then if it’s unhealthy, we don’t go outside at all.” Denver has experienced days of “moderate” air quality and only returned to better air quality early on July 15. Many childcare centers look beyond air quality, keeping an eye on heat indexes as well. Meyer said that at Primrose they adjust outside playtime according to the state heat index, or the “feels-like” temperature that factors in things like humidity into temperature readings. Research into early childhood development has revealed just how integral years 0-3 are for lifelong growth, especially in learning gross motor skills. Meyer said that the children kept indoors are
given alternatives to make up for lost recess time. “I hope the fire season is not bad this year, especially because the kids get stuck inside,” she said. Out of the six Denver childcare centers Denverite called, most were aware of the effects of wildfire smoke; only one said they were not worried about air quality and had not changed their outdoor policies. We asked Meyer if she knew of other childcare centers checking air quality indexes. “You know, I hope so,” she said.
