Born on July 28, 1922, Francis ‘Fran’ Gargano was one of eight children raised in Brooklyn. She later moved to East Meadow, Long Island, then retired with her husband in Margate, Florida, and finally relocated to Statesboro, Georgia, to join her family, Bill and Lisa Gargano, a year and a half ago. Fran stopped driving at 98 but remains energetic and the life of the party, a true social butterfly who makes friends across all generations.





Fran attributes her longevity to the ‘Good Lord and Living Right,’ God's help, doctors, and angels. She loves all colors, just like her vibrant personality.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Speaking through an interpreter, Leivy Ortega and Henry Aguilar said they received vouchers for hotel stays from an unnamed non-profit. But they had problems using the vouchers, they said. Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it.
