Hundreds rally for reproductive rights in Denver Supreme Court reversal of federal abortion protections draws protesters in droves BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Decline is driven by COVID, deaths from drug overdoses

Horns honked and drivers waved in solidarity as hundreds gathered at the State Capitol in Denver on June 27. The crowd was there to rally in support of reproductive rights after a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Dobbs decision upheld a Mississippi state law banning abortion after 15 weeks. In doing so, it opened the door to the reversal of both Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case establishing a constitutional right to abortion, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a 1992 decision reaffirming that right. SEE RIGHTS, P4

price of a diesel school bus. “Now the question is, ‘how do we get the funding?’” Samora said. State legislators are answering that question with a new grant program aimed at helping districts and charter schools with the burdensome upfront costs of acquiring a new electric school bus. Lawmakers have set aside $65 million in grants so that districts can purchase and maintain electric buses, convert fossil-fuel buses to electric, invest

Life expectancy dropped in Colorado for the second straight year in 2021. It’s the kind of decline, driven by the pandemic, not seen in decades, data from the state health department show. The average life expectancy for Colorado residents fell to 78 years in 2021. That’s slightly lower than 2020, the first year of the pandemic when it was 78.4 years, but the slide represents a persistent and significant drop of nearly three years compared to 2019. “The last time life expectancy dropped like this was in 1943, which was the most fatal year of World War II, for the nation,” said Dr. Eric France, the state’s chief medical officer. “It is tragic that we see life expectancy drop. Death rates increased by 20 percent.” Key drivers for the decline were COVID-19 and overdose deaths. The data vary by demographic group. COVID-19 was the leading cause of death among Hispanics, as well as non-Hispanic Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders and American Indian/Native Alaskans, the data show.

Electric school buses are in Colorado’s future But districts need help paying for them BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

One by one, the big yellow dieselpowered school buses shuttling kids back and forth in Colorado districts are rumbling along on their final routes and, after many thousands of miles, belching their last plumes of exhaust.

State sees drop in life expectancy for second year

With increasing concerns about the harmful effects of school bus tailpipe emissions on both children’s health and the environment, state leaders and community advocates are pushing school districts to retire their old, pollutant-emitting school buses and replace them with electric ones. It’s hardly a simple request for administrators like Albert Samora, executive director of transportation for Denver Public Schools. A new electric school bus can cost about $400,000 — at least three times the

in charging infrastructure and necessary upgrades, and rotate out old buses. For some districts, that means adding more electric buses to the small number they already have. For many others, it opens up a way to put their first electric bus on the streets and climb aboard a national movement to update school bus fleets with electric vehicles. “No child should have to breathe toxic diesel exhaust fumes on their way to school, and by eliminating tailpipe emissions, electric school buses provide safer, healthier transportation options for our children while also cutting ozone causing air pollution from the transportation sector,” said Alex Simon, an advocate with CoPIRG. The statewide advocacy organization, which is active in a variety of public health and consumer issues, supported the bill that paved the way for the new grant program as part of a broader legislative initiative to improve air quality

in Colorado. Diesel exhaust and burning fossil fuels are two major sources of air pollution in Colorado as they produce ozone, which is linked to greenhouse gas pollution, Simon noted. Transportation is among the biggest sources of greenhouse gas pollution in Colorado, she noted, citing a 2021 report from Gov. Jared Polis’ office. And that exhaust impacts the health of children and communities in the short term and long term, said Juan Roberto Madrid, a clean transportation and energy policy advocate for GreenLatinos in Colorado, which supported the bill that created the grant program. The nonprofit, based in Washington, D.C., works to change environmental policies to improve the health and wellbeing of Latino communities and other communities of color. A cute exposure to diesel emissions from school bus tailpipes as children wait to board or as they sit and ride, breathing contaminated air along the way, can result in irritated eyes, sore throats and shortness of breath, Madrid said. Repeated exposure can lead

to chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma. He compares the dangers to those associated with breathing air during a heavy wildfire. “The difference is our kids are getting it in a smaller dose, but they’re getting it prolonged,” Madrid said, adding that exposure to diesel emissions can spike emergency room visits and translate to missed school days. The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment is currently devising a plan on how to distribute grants to maximize the conversion of school buses to electric, according to CDPHE spokeswoman Leah Schleifer. Among the school districts and charter schools the state department will prioritize are those that have a high percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced price lunch — a federal indicator of poverty — as well as those in rural communities and those in areas that need to reduce ozone pollution to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s standards, Schleifer wrote in an email. Those areas battling high ozone pollution are concentrated in the Denver metro area and the North Front Range, she said. School districts and charter schools will also be able to use grant dollars toward vans or similar vehicles that regularly pick up and drop off students. The state’s grant funding won’t go far enough to convert all school buses in all of Colorado’s 178 school districts to electric, but proponents say it’s a critical first step to swap out buses that have long put children’s health and the environment at risk. Districts can also build out their electric school bus fleets by tapping into federal funds, including the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program, which is doling out $5 billion over the next five years so that districts can invest in zero-emission and low-emission school buses. The program’s first stage of funding will be anchored by $500 million in rebates. CDPHE will announce grant recipients next year, after the EPA reveals award recipients this fall “to leverage our state funds to ensure the largest number of fossil fueled buses are converted to zero emissions vehicles,” Schleifer said. Electric school buses have already gained traction in several districts Samora, of DPS, purchased Colorado’s first electric school bus in 2018 when he worked for Boulder Valley School District. After he moved to DPS

in 2019, he ordered an electric school bus for the district and has another two on the way. Meanwhile, with a fleet of about 335 buses, DPS is no longer buying diesel, instead using gasoline as a stepping stone on the path to electric buses. While still a fossil fuel, gasoline is cleaner out of a bus’ tailpipe. Samora said. DPS, the state’s largest school district, purchased its three electric school buses through a nearly $10 million state grant program developed out of a settlement with Volkswagen Group of America. DPS shelled out about $70,000 for its first electric school bus and about $80,000 for both the second and third buses, while the grant — which was overseen by CDPHE and the Regional Air Quality Council — paid the rest. DPS also received funding help to install a $30,000 charging station, Samora said. It’s a “daunting” process to convert a school bus fleet to electric, he said, with many steps required to set up the infrastructure. That includes installing electric charging stations, working with an energy company to make sure the grid has adequate power and training technicians to work on high-voltage electric vehicles. “There’s a lot to be done in order to get the electric infrastructure in place to function 100% on a large scale,” Samora said. But for all heavy lifting an electric bus entails, Samora anticipates the district will save money mile by mile. DPS projects it will pay about $0.35 per mile with an electric bus, compared to about $0.69 per mile with a brand new diesel-powered bus. However, at least 10 more years will pass before the district’s electric school buses start to pay for themselves, he said. Right around then, the district will also have to replace their batteries, which have a warranty of eight years and currently cost at least $60,000, according to information Samora has received. Nearby, Aurora Public Schools has also started to steer toward electric school buses, purchasing seven that began arriving in the spring along with three charging stations to power them. Each bus cost more than $369,000, with the buses and charging stations adding up to nearly $2.2 million total, which the district paid for upfront. Through SEE ELECTRIC, P3

a grant from the state program that emerged after the settlement with Volkswagen Group of America, APS will be reimbursed for 80% of the cost of all seven buses, so long as it scraps seven of its diesel buses that have operated since before 2009, said Anthony Sturges, chief operating officer of the district. The grant is also funding the three charging stations, which together cost about $90,000. The buses belong to a broader effort to transform the Aurora Community Campus — which houses several district schools and Pickens Technical College — into a more environmentally minded hub. That includes plans to install a solar bus canopy that will protect electric school buses while also powering them along with adjacent buildings, said Marcus Harper, energy and building optimization coordinator for the district. APS, Colorado’s fifth largest school district, is also focused on converting other district vehicles to electric and recently won another grant it used to purchase three electric trucks for its nutrition services department. Sturges, who is optimistic that electric buses will save the district money long term, said APS will continue to be “very aggressive” in trying to secure more electric vehicles and buses, particularly through state and federal funding opportunities. Without that help, the technology is simply out of reach, said Janet Ulrich, director of transportation. “They are kind of cost prohibitive without some kind of grant,” Ulrich said, “so it does make it challenging for districts.” Some of Colorado’s rural districts are also making headway in upgrading their school bus fleets with electric buses. By this next school year, Steamboat Springs School District — a district of 2,640 students — will have seven electric buses transporting kids. Director of transportation Casey Ungs sees them as a far safer ride for children and drivers, not only because of how much they cut down on pollution but also because of how quiet they are. “You’re able to be more aware of traffic and vehicles around you just with having less noise,” Ungs said, adding that school buses are one of the best

uses of electric vehicles because of the short distances they drive in heavily populated areas. At the southern edge of the state, Durango School District 9-R set one electric school bus in motion earlier this year and plans to apply to the state’s new grant program with an eye to debut more electric school buses, said Daniel Blythe, director of transportation for the district of nearly 5,800 students. The new bus was at the center of a pilot project led by La Plata Electric Association, which took the bus one step further with vehicle-to-grid technology. That technology, which transportation directors see becoming more common in the future, allows the bus battery to push energy back onto the grid during peak hours, said Dominic May, an energy resource program architect with La Plata Electric Association. So the bus will complete morning pickups and drop-offs throughout the district before returning to the bus depot to plug back into the charger. By midafternoon, the fully charged bus will head back out onto the road to whisk kids home from school. Once the bus gets back to the depot, it’s plugged into the charger once again. But at that time, the energy utility can take energy out of the bus and put it back on the grid, May said. “It’s the same energy we put out earlier, but it’s a time we really need it,” May said, explaining that energy is most needed during cold and dark winter evenings. The bus can pull 30 houses off the grid for two hours, he said, saving the electric association’s membership $1,200 a month. Additionally, the vehicle-to-grid electric school bus saves the school district about $10,000 in fuel and maintenance costs a year. May sees a lot of potential in the state’s new grant program as well as the federal funds available to districts to outfit their fleets with electric buses. The grants won’t be enough to electrify every school bus in the state, but they’ll help get more buses rolling, he said. “The first one’s the hardest,” he said.

A June 27 march for reproductive rights at the State Capitol in Denver.

Pro-choice protesters march through central Denver June 27, days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the historic abortion rights case Roe v. Wade.

RIGHTS FROM PAGE 1

Demonstrators of all ages and genders carried signs, chanted slogans and marched from the Capitol

through parts of central Denver. Police shut down roads including North Broadway to allow the peaceful crowd to demonstrate. The event was the third protest around abortion access since the controversial Dobbs ruling was announced on June 24.

Pro-choice demonstrators gather at the State Capitol to protest the U.S. Supreme PHOTOS BY BOB WOOLEY Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade during a June 27 rally.

A study by research and policy organization, The Guttmacher Institute, claims that at least 26 states are certain or likely to ban abortion in the wake of the reversal of Roe v. Wade. In Colorado, abortion will remain legal barring federal legislation or a change in state law.

Maryjane Chavez, who came to the Capitol with her daughter, said she’s worried the Supreme Court may soon target other individual liberty rights like same-sex marriage — widely held to be granted under the 14th amendment to the constitution.

Dr. Lilia Cervantes, an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, said she wasn’t surprised by the new numbers. “The Latino community makes up the majority of the essential workforce,” said Cervantes, who is a member of the Colorado Vaccine Equity Taskforce. “During COVID, they’ve been the least protected. They’ve not been able to avoid public transportation. They’ve had to continue working sometimes even while ill and are the least likely to have healthcare coverage.” Vaccination rates for Hispanics, the term used in state and federal health studies, lag other groups, both in Colorado and nationally. The data mirror national trends. American Indians and Alaska Natives faced similar population-level health challenges. Both communities entered the pandemic with “longstanding pre-existing health disparities that made them especially vulnerable to more severe COVID illness and death,” said Michelle Sarche, a licensed clinical psychologist and associate professor in the Centers for American Indian & Alaska Native Health and Department of Community & Behavioral Health at the Colorado School of Public Health. She noted many tribal communities face underlying health challenges, including “inadequate access to healthcare, education, affordable and sufficient housing, and economic

opportunity, all of which are treaty rights and trust obligations that the United States, in its own analysis, has failed to uphold.” As troubling as these data are, though, it’s important to tell the whole story,” one of resilience, resistance and survival,’’ said Sarche, a member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of the Ojibwe tribe. American Indian and Alaska Native communities “instituted some of the most successful vaccine campaigns,” she said. “They marshaled enormous resources to protect their communities, and the most vulnerable among them — including elders,” bearers of native language and culture for younger generations. Cervantes also stressed the resilience of Hispanic communities during the pandemic and spotlighted changes that could help down the road. She said countries with similar wealth as the U.S. provide more

comprehensive social services and guarantee health care. She thinks a recent push to cover all Coloradans and make healthcare more affordable could help. “Colorado, I feel like, is creating change to make it so that access to healthcare coverage depends less on immigration status and socioeconomic status,” she said. The overall life expectancy among Colorado residents was 78.4 years in 2020 (81.0 years for females, 76.0 years for males) and 78.0 years in 2021 (80.9 years for females and 75.2 years for males), according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. That’s based on final death certificate data for 2020 and 2021, and improved population estimates for both years. COVID-19 remained the third leading cause of death among Colorado residents in 2021, as it was in 2020, the health department found. Among non-Hispanic Black/African Ameri-

cans, Asians, and whites, COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death. Unintentional injuries, which include all accidental drug overdoses, motor vehicle accidents, and falls, remained the fourth leading cause of death among Colorado residents in 2021, while suicide remained the eighth leading cause, and homicide moved from 17th to 16th leading cause. Chronic diseases continue to make up the remainder of the leading causes of death. “The biggest driver of the increases in drug overdose deaths in the past few years has indeed been fentanyl,” said Kirk Bol, the state’s Vital Statistics Program manager. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid similar to morphine but 50 to 100 times more potent. It’s increasingly being found in other drugs laced with fentanyl, causing users to overdose accidentally. In 2017, the state recorded 81 fentanyl deaths. In 2021, the number rose to 912, half of all overdose deaths. Bol called it a “shocking increase.” In 2021, there were 1,881 total drug overdose deaths among Colorado residents — an increase compared to the 1,477 deaths recorded in 2020. The highest increase involved fentanyl, which soared from 540 in 2020 to 912. Increases were also observed in overdose deaths involving methamphetamine and cocaine, while small declines were seen in overdose deaths involving heroin.

IMAX film allows viewers to soar alongside birds “Wings Over Water” showing at Denver Museum of Nature & Science through July 18 BY BRUCE GOLDBERG SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

This IMAX film is for the birds. It’s also for the many people helping avians maintain their lifegiving wetlands in Canada and the western United States. “Since 1970, we have lost 3 billion birds, about one-third of our continental bird population,” said Chris Dorsey of Denver, one of two executive producers of the “Wings Over Water” project. “We wanted to brand the wetlands. We want the people of North America to see the prairie wetlands are every bit as important as the Amazon, the Everglades, the Serengeti. We’re trying to raise awareness of the importance of that ecosystem.” “Wings Over Water” is showing until July 18 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The 3D, high-definition format allows viewers to feel as if they’re flying right alongside the birds as they travel through a 300,000-mile ecosystem that includes western Canada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Minnesota and Iowa. The film focuses on the lives

and travails of bird families from three species: the sandhill crane, the yellow warbler and the mallard duck, all of which depend on the prairie wetlands for survival. It stresses their remarkable reserves of energy as they traverse mountains, deserts, cities and forests, as well as their mating habits, nest protection, food sources and more. “There’s an extraordinary sequence with a great horned owl and a nesting mallard,” said Dorsey. “It’s an extraordinary scene, and a horned owl comes at you in 3D. But it also talks about how difficult it is for nesting birds to evade predators - owls, eagles, hawks and more. We tell that story in a powerful sequence.” Helping Dorsey with the development of the film concept was Charlie Potter, president and CEO of the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation in Chicago. Dorsey’s friend, actor Michael Keaton is an avid outdoorsman and not only narrated the film, but also wrote the foreword for the companion book, “Wings Over Water: The Vital Magic of North America’s Prairie Wetlands.” Dorsey said the two go flyfishing together and added that Keaton contributed a lot of time to the project. Singer Huey Lewis and famed broadcaster Tom Brokaw are also among Dorsey’s outdoorsy

acquaintances. Lewis allowed the filmmakers to include “The Power of Love,” perhaps his biggest hit, in the film. Coloradans also have a role. Ducks Unlimited, which has a large chapter in Denver, was involved in the project. “Ducks Unlimited has about 700,000 members across the United States and Canada, and has worked on the prairie wetlands for about 85 years now,” Dorsey said. “There’s a lot of Denver connections to the film.”

VOICES Give something away on July 15

ne of my favorite pastimes is to go, what I call, thrifting. I love spending a couple of hours on a day off treasure hunting at a thrift shop. Though I don’t always find something I will treasure for life, almost always I find something unique or that has value to me. Rarely do I go home empty handed. But along with a love for thrifting comes the need to occasionally re-organize and declutter. National Give Something Away Day is July 15. I have already begun the task of cleaning out my closet of fall and winter clothes to give away, and I’ll be moving on to the spring and summer clothes soon. But celebrating National Give Something Away Day doesn’t have to involve taking a large garbage bag full of clothes to the thrift store. The day can be marked with simple, kind gestures — giving

your co-worker the paperback copy of a book you love but read years ago, gifting some baby clothes that your child has grown out of to an expecting mother or preparing a homecooked meal for a neighbor and letChristy Steadman ting them keep the serving dish that has been stored in your kitchen cupboard and rarely used. These small gestures can go a long way toward brightening somebody’s day. Of course, there are more charitable ways to celebrate National Give Something Away Day as well. Years ago, I had a friend from college who was moving out of the country for a while, so she threw a naked ladies party. No, it is not the type of party its name implies.

FROM THE EDITOR

In fact, quite the opposite. Probably a better name for it would be friends’ clothing swap, but I guess the words “naked ladies” grabs more attention. My friend invited her friends of all different shapes and sizes to her apartment for a Saturday night get-together. She gave us plenty of notice in advance of the party because she asked all of us to go through our closets and set aside the gently-used clothing we no longer wore or wanted. The one rule was you couldn’t take home anything that you brought. Once everyone arrived, all the clothes we brought were put in a few big piles on the floor in the middle of the living room. There was quite the variety of clothing, and a lot of it. Everything from pajama shirts to professional attire — I even got the dress I wore to my college graduation from that party. We spent a few hours going through everybody’s things,

munching on finger-food snacks, taking turns trying clothes on in my friend’s bedroom and getting others’ opinions on how we looked. After we had finished making our selections of what to take home, we put on one of our new outfits and walked to a local bar for an after-party drink. The party itself was a lot of fun, but the best part about it was the charitable aspect. The weekend following the party, my friend donated all the unclaimed clothes to a local women’s shelter. Donating to charities — no matter if it be in the form of volunteering time, giving monetarily, giving new or gently-used items to someone in need or attending a fundraiser event — simply feels good. And, if like me, you decide to go the route of giving away a bunch of clothing on National Give Something Away Day, you can always re-up your closet on Aug. 17, which is National Thrift Shop Day.

True or false: What to know when it comes to sun protection

ith summer officially here, you may be rushing outside to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather. You may also be thinking about how to best protect your skin. More people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancereach year than all other cancers combined, and most skin cancer is associated with sun exposure. Knowing how to help protect your skin from the sun may have a lasting impact. To help set the record straight, here is some useful information on some common sun protection myths. True or false? Your sunscreen should have UVA and UVB protection. True: When walking down the sunscreen aisle, the choices can be overwhelming. Start by looking for a sunscreen that provides broad spectrum protection. That means it filters both types of ultraviolet radiation. TheSkin Cancer Foundationsays that ultraviolet A rays are present all day and can cause skin-aging and wrinkling while ultraviolet B rays are strongest during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and can

cause sunburns. Both types have been linked to skin cancer. True or false? One application of sunscreen lasts all day. False: Sunscreen should be reapplied throughout the day and SPF, or Jennifer Malin sun protection factor, can help you know how often. If you typically burn after 10 minutes in the sun, multiply that number by the SPF. For SPF 30, this would translate to 300 minutes, but the sunscreen will start to rub off before then. So, reapply often, at least every two hours. Sunscreens should also be reapplied immediately after swimming, toweling off or excessive sweating. True or false? You should use the highest SPF possible. False: You may be surprised to learn that higher SPF does not always mean better protection. You may not need anything higher than SPF 30 if you’re applying generously and often. This is

GUEST COLUMN

because, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation,SPF 30 protects against 97% of the sun’s rays, while SPF 50 increases that just a bit – to 98%. True or false? A little dab of sunscreen goes a long way. False: To get a sunscreen’s full protection, you should consider applying about oneounce (about two tablespoons). Again, it’s important to reapply every two hours, or right after coming out of the water. True or false? You can get sun damage on a cloudy day. True: One of the most common mistakes people make is forgetting about incidental sun exposure. Your skin is still soaking up UV rays even on cloudy days or while driving with the windows down. To help protect skin in such situations, consider making protection part of your normal routine. Put sunscreen on first thing in the morning, even if you aren’t thinking about going outside – be consistent. True or false? Sunscreen is better than covering up. False: While sunscreen is vital and should be used, it’s important to stay covered up. Wear light-

weight, tightly woven hats, shirts and pants. Combine sunscreen and sun-protective clothing for your strongest protection. True or false? Both sunscreen spray and sunscreen lotion offer the same protection. It depends. While sunscreen spray can be easier to apply, it comes with a few risks. Sunscreen spray is harder to control and most people do not use enough — experts recommend spraying each area of your body for at least six seconds. You also need to rub it in after application. In addition, ingredients in spray sunscreens may be irritating to your lungs if inhaled, so you’ll want to be sure you’re not spraying it directly on your face. Consider using a lotion for a base and reapplying with spray instead. Summer is a great time to get you and your loved ones outside to enjoy the fresh air, outdoor activities and exercise under the sun so don’t let concerns about sunscreen stop you from enjoying the warmer weather.

‘Over the moon’ for barbecue THE FATHER OF DENVER BARBECUE

Colorful, witty signage greets Denver BBQ Fest attendees as they enter the festival at Empower Field at Mile High.

A group of volunteers gather for a photo. Hundreds of volunteers came together to help the Denver BBQ Fest run smoothly this year.

Denver barbecue legend “Daddy” Bruce Randolph, who lived from 1900-1994, began serving barbecue out of his son’s barbershop on East 34th Avenue in Denver in the early 1960s. His food became so loved by the Denver community that he began to regularly cater events for the Denver Broncos. Eventually, Randolph opened his own barbecue restaurant at 1629 E. 34th Ave. in north Denver. In 1967, Randolph began feeding people in need out of a food truck at City Park during Thanksgiving. By the 1980s, his Thanksgiving events would serve tens of thousands of people each year, and the tradition in some form continues today. In 1985, East 34th Avenue was renamed Bruce Randolph Avenue in honor of his humanitarianism. In 2002, the Bruce Randolph School, 3955 Steele St., was founded.

Several towns in the Denver metro area, as well as the National Western Stock Show and the Colorado Rockies, have hosted barbeque festivals and competitions throughout the past two decades. Many have come and gone due to rising costs, and several halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Challenges facing Lisa Roy, Colorado’s new early childhood chief BYANNSCHIMKE CHALKBEAT

As chief of Colorado’s new early childhood department, Lisa Roy will shape a new state agency with more than 300 employees and lead the biggest expansion of state-funded preschool in program history. Roy, 58, recently returned to Colorado after spending more than two years in Omaha, Nebraska, as director of program development at the Buffett Early Childhood Institute. She started as the early childhood department’s executive director on May 16 with an annual salary of $165,000. During a recent interview in a temporary office a block from the gold-domed state Capitol, Roy talked about her own experience with the early childhood system — first as a parent and later as a policymaker. “I have that experience as a parent of not being able to afford childcare,” she said. “My kids were Head Start kids.” Roy, who has three adult children, said she initially applied for state child care subsidies, but her ex-husband made $5 over the limit so she didn’t qualify.

She later helped set child care subsidy rules as part of Denver’s welfare reform board, worked on a preschool tuition assistance program funded with a city sales tax, and led Denver Public Schools early education department from 2016 to 2019. She’s also held leadership positions in several philanthropic organizations. “I have experienced almost every single facet of what our department will do,” said Roy, who has a doctorate in leadership for educational equity from the University of Colorado Denver. The state’s early childhood department technically started March 1, but many of its operations start July 1. The department will oversee more than a dozen early childhood programs now housed in the state’s Department of Human Services and the Department of Education. It also will manage the new universal preschool program, an ambitious effort to provide tuition-free preschool to 4-year-olds statewide starting in the fall of 2023.

and cannot with reasonable diligence be ascertained, will take notice that on September 20th, 2021, Nathan Alexis Zink, stepfather, filed his Petition for Adoption of Anthony Michael Rogers, Case 21JA133, in Denver Juvenile Court, Denver County, Colorado, praying that he be permitted by order of the court, to adopt, as his own child, the child Anthony Michael Rogers, a minor born at Denver, Colorado, and that the name of the child be changed to Anthony Michael Zink. "A final decree of adoption, if granted will relieve you of all parental rights and responsibilities, including the right to contact the minor, and except with respect to a spouse of the adoption petitioner and relatives of that spouse, terminate all legal relationships between the minor and you and the minor’s other relatives, so that the minor thereafter is a stranger to you and the minor’s former relatives for all purposes. If you wish to contest the adoption, you must file an objection to the petition.

If you wish to contest the adoption, you must also appear at the hearing. " A final decree of adoption may be entered if you fail to file an objection to the adoption petition or appear at the hearing.
