The findings from babies involved in a mother’s milk study in Southern California go straight to the heart of a series of environmental justice and air pollution laws passed in Colorado in recent years. State lawmakers and regulators are targeting pollution concentrated in lower-income and minority neighborhoods, and overhauling permitting and transportation spending to combat what they have called historic injustice.Theresearchers say the study published in the August edition of the science journal “Gut Microbes,” is “the first to show a link between inhaled pollutants … and changes in infant microbial health during this critical window of development.”ThenewCUstudy bolsters previous research about the health impacts of air pollution on adults,

“All of us are just one poor step, one medical emergency, one financial reversal, one financial devastation away from food insecurity,” said Arland Preblund, founder and executive director of We Don’t Waste, which is a food rescue organization based in Denver. “It would be nice to wake up and not have to go to work (because) that would mean we solved the crisis of food insecurity.”

The healthy gut “microbiome” of babies living in high pollution areas is under threat from particulates from vehicles, industrial smokestacks and wildfire smoke, leaving them more vulnerable to immune afflictions like diabetes or allergies, a new University of Colorado study says.

“This study adds to a growing body of evidence that breathing pollution harms more than just our lungs,” said Laurie Anderson, Colorado field organizer for Moms Clean Air Force. “Babies and children are especially vulnerable.

Two years later, during nationwide Black Lives Matter protests calling for racial equality, the foundation of the strategic plan was finalized, Kubie said.

with sensory processing disorders. When an organization is diverse, it’s more innovative and creative, and improves business outcomes, said Elkin Alfred, director of equity and culture at the Denver Zoo, whose role was recommended a few years ago by the zoo’s DEI steering committee. “But it’s also the right thing to do.”
By 2025, millennials will make up 75% of the workforce, according to the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy organization conducting research. “If you think about millennials, what they come to the workforce with is a far greater and more focused wanting of diversity in its broadest sense, and they come with expectations that that’s the way it’s going to be, so it is not an option for any employer,” Vescolani said.
“Nature survives because of its diversity and that same diversity should translate here.”

Security staff will continue to be trained to use de-escalation techniques in a course that will include a segment about how biases can impact how a person views a threat to help mitigate incidents similar the one that led to Ashley’s death.
Zoo leaders are revamping their interviewing process to mitigate bias and create a culture where leaders can engage and manage a diverse team. There’s a focus throughout the organization on preparing leaders for diversity and ensuring guests, volunteers and employees feel that they are a part of the team, including by ensuring that workplace meetings are more accessible for people with disabilities.Teens,older adults, people of color and people with disabilities are among the main groups the zoo is trying to engage to increase diversity. Each year, the zoo is now hosting a sensory night, where all flashing lights and music are disabled, specifically designed to welcome people
still room for improvement.
The zoo is using an ongoing guest experience survey to track whether guests feel welcome at the organization.One question asks visitors to indicate whether they feel the zoo is a welcoming place for them and other visitors in their group. To date, in 2022, 88% of people have ranked the zoo as “very” or “extremely welcoming.” Zoo leaders hope that figure will increase to 95% or greater by next year.Since Vescolani started in his role, he said he has worked hard to diversify the zoo’s staff and its board of governors, which hires and fires the CEO and maintains oversight of zoo operations. In 2018, when Vescolani was hired, 8% of the board of governors were Black and 8% were Latino. This year, the percentage of Black members rose to 13% and 20% for Latino board members.
The Denver Zoo is a high profile, visible organization where staff are the catalysts for making connections between guests, animals and the rest of nature, Kubie said.

“That is the central theme of our work,” she added. “It is internally focused, so we can be more representative of the community, but also externally focused, so that when people engage with the zoo, they feel seen, and they feel like their identities are taken into consideration when we create exhibits, when we make updates, when we put information out on social media. We want everyone to feel like they have a role in saving wildlife for future generations.”
Timothy Johnson, who lives in Shakopee, Minnesota, regularly searched online for branches of his Paulson family tree. He never guessed he’d find three whole books about them in Fort Lupton, of all places.

“The Miller, Paulson book probably has some real value. The blue book is Helen Jean Paulson’s photo album from the 1970s to the 1990s with descriptions of who was in the photos. She has photos of her horses, dogs and her two brothers Alan and Gordon Paulson,” Johnson said.
The story starts when Cindy Lyons, a librarian with Fort Lupton Public School and Library, found three three-inch ring binders of the Paulson, Miller genealogy in the library storage room.
These binders documented the family’s lineages and generations of the Miller and Paulson family’s up to 1980. It included decades of family photos.
These historical events coupled with a sense that people of color are not welcomed in the outdoors because of lacking representation has created distrust in the zoo and wildlife conservation industry, especially among patrons of color, Kubie said. Now, Denver Zoo leaders are working to engage with those communities.
The Denver Zoo has nearly 2 million guests per year who visit about 3,000 animals representing about 450 species. Zoos build empathy and curiosity for children who visit and create educational opportunities for adult patrons, Alfred said.

Many skeptics are also concerned about the level of care provided by zoos. There are about 2,500 zoos in America and only 238 are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, meaning the accredited zoos, like Denver Zoo, adhere to the strictest animal care standards and contribute to wildlife conservation. Kubie said the only animals that come to the Denver Zoo from the wild are those that were rescued. The vast majority of animals there are born and bred within a zoo setting in species survival programs to help conserve threatened, vulnerable and endangered species with an intent to eventually release them into the

The first generation were farmers, and the next generations went to college and moved on, he said. Johnson said his family has always been believers in education.Johnson is working on finding some other relatives and will continue working on the books, hoping to update them up to this century.“Tofind these books was a coincidence and it’s kind of impossible,” Johnson said.
But zoos haven’t always bathed in glory. In the 19th and 20th centuries, human zoos were prominent across the U.S., and other parts of the world, where people of color were displayed in zoos, fairs and museums as living exhibits. White visitors would pet and photograph the people on display for having features they deemed unusual.

Do you believe people can relate to the characters in your book(s)? If so, in what ways and why?
The characters are the most important part of the Northfield Saga, even more than the post apocalyptic world or plot. Mark Northfield is a character people can relate to because he wears his heart on his sleeve. Above all else, he has a genuine heart, and a gentleness that conflicts with the rough world he lives in. Everyone can relate to that feeling of not quite belonging somewhere.
“One of the best parts about reading fiction is forging a relationship with the characters,” Fisher said. Mark Northfield “resonates with people.”

The Northfield Saga is a sci-fi set in a post-apocalyptic world. It follows Mark Northfield, a mercenary who is trying his best to remain a good person in a dark world.
Fisher enjoys writing because it “brings fresh, new ideas to readers they haven’t experienced before,” he said. Reading “helps people process and unwind in our hectic, day-to-day lives.”Fisher self-published his first book in 2020. This book caught the attention of Headline Books, and the publisher re-published it as “Apocalypse Bounty” in fall 2021. It is the first book of The Northfield Saga, which is a planned four-book series. The second book, “Stormrise,” is expected to come out this fall.

“They are identified by the perpetrator or trafficker as being vulnerable and people are vulnerable for lots of reasons. They’re experiencing homelessness, they’re using drugs, they’re desperately looking for work,” Napolitano explained, saying that many victims had a traumatic childhood. “They’re looking for love and inclusion, and a trafficker reaches in and offers that person the thing they need — that love, the bus ticket, the job, the housing — and kind of hooks them that way.”

Kaizen Food Rescue is another organization contributing to significant food waste reduction by providing produce donations and meals to community members facing food insecurity. It got its start in 2019 by Thai Nguyen, a Vietnamese diaspora.“Istarted Kaizen after volunteering for my children’s school to pick up fresh food. After seeing all the surplus food at Food Bank of the Rockies, the idea came up to open our own food pantry,” Nguyen said. “Many food pantries didn’t have

about preventing food waste. Food sovereignty and offering culturallyappropriate foods to customers are additional missions of food rescues.
Unlike government-provided food assistance programs with strict hours, limited availability and requirements, many food rescue organizations do not request personal information, nor do they set parameters for people to qualify for food donations. As such, they are a stop gap for those in need, filling in where the government programs fall
She added it may happen “someday.” But for now, Denver-area food rescue organizations have stepped up to help community members in need by taking the problem of food waste and turning it into a solution. They provide free food to the public at food pantries, distribution centers, community gardens, co-ops and even free farmers markets. This is accomplished by partnering with grocery stores, restaurants, conven-

By eliminating requirements for demographics and other reporting, food rescue programs honor those who are in a vulnerable position with dignity, Preblund added.
Though the U.S. throws away 3040% of its edible food, a 2021 survey conducted by the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment estimates that 33% of Denver residents face food insecurity.

“We call them food apartheids,” SteeleMerriam-Webstersaid. defines apartheid as “a former policy of segregation and political, social, and economic discrimination against the nonwhite majority in the Republic of South AccordingAfrica.”toSteele, food deserts refer to areas where food cannot grow, and food apartheids exist when an area is not being invested in — such as, for example, the result of a failing system or other barriers that have been in place for many years, Steele said.
“In a perfect world, everyone would have access to fresh, nutritious foods,” said Aditi Desai, vice president of marketing and communications for Food Bank of the Rockies. “It would be wonderful if food rescues were obsolete, if everyone had what they needed.”

However, she realized there are other underserved people in her community that she wanted to help, so she started her own food share with Kaizen’s support.
“People should have the dignity to have food sovereignty,” Steele said, “regardless of race, origin (and/or) economic status.”
Di hosts her food share program once a week at New Freedom Park in Denver. She takes great pride in this me a sense of completion and makes me happy to know that people have food at the end of the day,” Di said.
The pandemic shed a light on how many people can be at risk when supply chains fail, Steele said, adding that recent inflation hikes have exacerbated the issue. But in addition to job losses and breaks in the supply chain, there are some areas where fresh food is simply not available. These areas are commonly referred to as food deserts.

most of the upcoming season, the first thing we need to do is to make sure we have executed against all the planning we did for 2022. Did we do what we said we would do when we said we would do it?

the greatest impact on our finish, while positioning us for success in the new year.
In a conversationrecent with the chief revenue officer of a technology company, we kicked around the concepts and tactical approaches that their sales team was pursuing. And the idea was not to have the team grind it out, stressing themselves to the max, and getting frustrated. No, the idea was to make the push to finish the year strong as positive, fun, engaging and motivating as possible. Small daily rewards and recognition that cost the company little, but created a fun yet daily competitive environment that are driving greater results.Then, build upon that with weekly and monthly larger stretch goals and opportunities to win. Not a winner-takes-all approach, but making it so that if everyone exceeds their own personal goals by a certain percentage, everyone had the chance to win. For many organizations, the grind has been especially difficult with labor shortages, resignations, quiet quitters who stay but do the bare minimum, supply chain issues, and just the chaos, confusion and stress happening all around us. And one way to make the most of the upcoming season is to energize and motivate ourselves and our teams in such a way where we all can win and feel good about what we are accomplishing together.

At Mango House in Aurora, such sentiment could not better describe the mission of P.J. Parmar, who began the organization in 2014 to provide resources — primarily low-cost health care — to refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants.Italsoserves as a marketplace, with a grocery store and several vendors preparing and selling freshmade food from their home countries.“Mangoes are from everywhere our patients come from, but they are not from the U.S.,” said Parmar,
whose family immigrated from India, where mangoes are cherished andParmarabundant.said he chose the name Mango House because he wanted something “tasty and fun” that paid homage to his patients and patrons. He said he sees people from a broad swath of countries and regions, including Nepal, Burma, Somalia, Iraq, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Ethiopia.Somewho come to Mango House do so for space to start their business. Currently, it is home to five small food stalls: Urban Burma, known for its rice noodle bowls,
curry and samosas; Jasmine Syrian Food, with cumin and lemon flavored hummus and chicken; Odaa Ethiopian Restaurant, providing an abundance of flavorful meats and vegetables; Nepali Mountain Kitchen, serving up warm curry and momo; and Golden Sky Sushi, which offers a fusion of Japenese and other Asian cuisines.

“All my tenants are my patients,” Parmar said. “I like to think what we do is unique.”
For many, mangoes are defined by bright colors, aromatic flavor and embodiment of the sun-soaked tropics.Butfor some Denver-area business owners, the fruit is also a sense of identity, cultural connection and one’s openness to the new.

And it’s not just mango that’s on the menu. The shop also serves flavors for other desserts that include matcha, durian and taro.
“I love Asian food, all kinds of Asian food,” Tan said. “When I hear that people like our food, that’s what makes me happy.”
Corona said the coffee shop’s name harkens to a MANNA trip in 2002 when community members gathered under a mango tree in Kenya to discuss anti-poverty programs for the area.“As we’ve built Mango Tree, that’s the mindset that we have, creating a space where everybody feels welcome and can be a part of something bigger than themselves,” Corona said.
Founded in Flushing, New York, Mango Mango has since been franchised to several locations across the U.S.

Some of these come in the form of warm dishes, popular during the winter, Kao said. Others, such as bright green durian pancake rolls and purple-powdered taro cakes, present a unique and inviting option for customers — though these desserts are more subtle and savory compared with the reliable sweetness of the mango counterparts.

Opened in June 2021, Mango Tree roasts its coffee in-house and offers a reliable cafe menu complete with espresso-based drinks, chai and teas.But one standout item is the mango shot, a blend of mango chunks, kefir — a fermented dairy product — and spices.
For business owner Robert Kuo, who co-owns Mango Mango Desserts in Denver, bringing customers the tastes of Asia drove him to open his“Ishop.think people like to come to try new things,” said Kuo, who opened the store in 2019 alongside his business partner, Emma Mo.
Hours: noon to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, noon to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday
Kuo, who immigrated from Taiwan at age 5, said he fell in love with the business after first trying it in Flushing and sought to open one in Denver because, at the time, he saw no “truly Asian dessert places.”
Burma — in 2019, said without Mango House “we wouldn’t exist.”
“I’d like to think we aren’t just preaching to the choir, with our restaurant-goers already loving refugees,” Parmar said. “I do think, occasionally, someone — adult or even a child — who has doubts towards foreigners is brought as part of a group, and their eyes are opened a bit when they are here. At least their mouths, or palates, are opened.”
Mangoes, Kuo said, are “in every corner of Hong Kong,” and that dessert, in particular, is a beloved treat.

“I think one of the main aspects that drives what we do is this sort of passion and drive to have fun,” Corona said. “Having a mango shot was just another way to create that experience forPeoplepeople.”are
Mango Tree partners with area churches and other organizations to provide packed lunches to Englewood Schools students, a complement to the district’s free and reduced lunch program.“We want to be an asset to the community,” Corona said, adding that the coffee shop also serves as a gathering space, much as its namesake mango tree did 20 years ago. “It’s cool to see the community have the same mindset as we do of ‘hey, we like to do things together.’”

The dessert bar, offering roughly 30 meals and 20 drinks, imbues the sweet and citrus-like flavors of mango into nearly all its cuisine. The signature dessert is modeled after a traditional Hong Kong favorite and consists of mango ice cream, fresh fruit, juice and soba — edible starch pearls that Kuo said have been eaten “way, way, way before boba.”

Tan said he “wanted to introduce Burmese cuisine into the Denver area” and, through a patchwork of cooking education that included recipe books, online videos and tips from the Burmese community, he made that dream a reality.

Now a 22-year-old music performance student at Metropolitan State University of Denver, Trevizo is a part of the all-state youth ensemble, Mariachi Estelares de Colorado — a prestigious performance group within the mariachi community.“I’mtruly excited to be able to share such a big part of Mexican culture,” said Trevizo. “It is also an honor to be able to share our culture with people whose culture is not Mexican — to share and teach why we love Mexican culture so much.”Thefifth annual Viva Southwest Festival de Mariachi is coming to Ruby Hill Park as part of the Levitt Pavilion Denver’s Free Summer Concert Series. The event will take place from 5-7 p.m. Sept. 25 at 1380 W. Florida Ave in Denver. A ticketed VIP reception begins at 3 p.m.
The MSU Department of Music and the Latino Cultural Arts Center of Colorado have teamed up to provide the night of music, food, drinks and fun for Denverites, families and anyone who loves traditional Mexican music and culture.
William Trevizo sings at a mariachi performance. He, along with the other musicians part of the all-state youth ensemble that make up the Mariachi Estelares de Colorado band, will be performing at this year’s Viva Southwest Festival de Mariachi at Levitt Pavilion Denver.
The yearly music festival is a time when the Denver Latinx community comes together to celebrate mariachi, which is a Mexican music tradition dating back to the early 18th century. A typical mariachi band consists of several instruments including vocals; guitar; vihuela; gui-
Mariachi Estelares de Colorado is the first all-state youth ensemble in mariachi. After a lengthy nomination and audition process, 12 exceptional student musicians were selected, representing communities across Colorado — Denver, Commerce City, Longmont, Pueblo and Westminster.“I’mreallyexcited to perform with Colorado’s first all-state mariachi, Mariachi Estelares de Colorado,” Infante said. “It’s a beautiful venue, and I’m really looking forward to connecting with the audience and creating lasting memories.”Infantewill headline the festival with her bold, regional Mexican sound. Being the granddaughter of the late mariachi superstar Pedro Infante, Lupita Infante has more than 50,000 followers on Instagram and more than 75,000 on Facebook. She has been nominated for both Grammy and Latin Grammy awards.“Pedro Infante was one of the world’s greatest singers of mariachi music. Lupita is now carrying forth his legacy,” Trujillo said. “She represents the future of our youth as presented by our historical music.”
Lupita’s 2021 Grammy-nominated debut album, “La Serenata,” opened the door to stardom while paying tribute to the tradition and beauty of her heritage. She believes in the in the power of progress and advocates for woman empowerment throughout her music within an industry historically dominated by men.“Mariachi for me is the most beautiful and elegant music of Mexico. It is a living part of our culture. In it, there is a past that created the music and over time — much like our traditions — it has evolved, traveled and inspired many hearts,” Infante said. “When you hear mariachi music, it takes you on a journey through time and space. For me, it is how I connect with my ancestors, to my father, and my grandfather.”

“This festival provides the greater community with a unique learning experience,” said Lorenzo Trujillo, festival director and mariachi instructor at MSU. “It is unique because there is no other place where our youth can study mariachi music with other students from throughout the state, and to learn from the great mariachi teachers from throughout the nation. The concerts provide an enjoyable experience with music provided by our youth where everyone benefits from the joy and pleasure of mariachi — the music of Mexican people.”
