Bomb squad retrieves 2 devices Objects, one of which was an explosive, found 11 blocks apart

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Work permits. Green cards. An ocean of forms and tests and hearings.

Rabello, the director of the Littleton Immigrant Resources Center (LIRC), now bears most of the weight of a city-run program that helps legal immigrants make the arduous journey to full citizenship, at a fraction of the cost of private immigration service agencies.

The center only assists in immigration cases for legal immigrants, and does not provide legal assistance for undocumented immigrants.

Twice in five days, Arapahoe County’s bomb squad retrieved suspicious devices from locations in Englewood just 11 blocks apart. One of those two devices was an active explosive device, police say.

A passerby spotted a suspicious device appearing to be a pipe bomb in the field beside Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice around 4 p.m. on Jan. 16, according to a news release from Englewood Police. The school is at Chenango Avenue and Acoma Street.

After establishing a perimeter, Englewood officers called in Arapahoe County’s bomb squad, which retrieved the device for further testing, which later revealed the device was an active explosive.

“The investigation into who placed the device in the field is on ongoing,” the news release reads in part. “No further information is available at this time.”

The school’s security and facilities staff will increase their inspections of school grounds for the foreseeable future, Englewood Schools

Parry’s Pizzeria opens in Sheridan’s River Point shopping center Growing Colorado-based pizza chain offers slew of craft beers

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The LPS Middle School Experience: an exciting adventure filled with learning, friendship and self-discovery, in a well-rounded and supportive environment.

Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse opened its newest location at Sheridan’s River Point shopping center on Jan. 18, part of a wave of openings for the Colorado-based chain.

The New York-style pizza place is taking Old Chicago’s former spot between Sportsman’s Warehouse and Burlington in the sprawling shopping center just west of Santa Fe Drive and south of Highway 285.

Beyond pizzeria staples like calzones and Buffalo wings, Parry’s also features items like Italian nachos, king-size pretzels — and a mighty craft beer selection, with 60 drafts on tap.

Thanks to a pre-approval into Arapahoe County’s 5-Star indoor dining program, Parry’s is already well-positioned on COVID protocols, said Nate Lyon, the chain’s spokesperson.

“That means daily temperature checks for the staff, and high-end air filtration” inside the restaurant, Lyon said.

The Sheridan location is the

chain’s fourth opening since COVID began, Lyon said, an anomaly in a time that has seen more restaurant closings than openings.

“We’ve been pretty fortunate,” he said. “Pizza translates to takeout better than seafood or steaks, and we’ve done pretty well.”

Parry’s opened its first location near Parker in 2007 and now includes 11 Colorado locations, with more in Texas and the Carolinas.

Originally slated to open in November, the Sheridan location’s grand opening had to be pushed back to January after a fresh round of state-level COVID restrictions shut down indoor dining again.

“It was a bummer to push back the start date for all the great people we hired, but fortunately most of them stuck it out and waited for us,” said Carrie Shaw, the Sheridan location’s general manager. Shaw previously managed a Parry’s location in Greenwood Village. “I’m a mom, and my staff feel like my kids. We have a great team here.”

The pizzeria’s grand opening bash made a nice birthday dinner for Lisa Sullivan, who was splitting an appetizer platter with her friend and fellow Swedish Medical Center nurse Nancy Panger.

“It’s nice to sit inside and eat at a real restaurant again,” Sullivan said. “Who doesn’t love deep-fried pickles for their birthday?”

Level yellow could be weeks away Post-holiday disease spike appears to taper off, but counties’ data still in red zone

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In mid-December, businesses across Colorado saw state officials throw them what appeared to be an extra lifeline with the arrival of the “5-Star” program to allow them to operate with expanded capacity if they followed stepped-up COVID-19 safety protocols.

More than a month later, in some counties, that extra boost hasn’t materialized. And higher capacity for 5-star businesses may not arrive for weeks, one local public health leader for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties says.

Gov. Jared Polis’ unexpected announcement in late December that all of Colorado’s “level red” counties would move to level orange restrictions rendered the 5-Star program temporarily irrelevant, causing confusion for business owners and local governments.

The 5-Star program allows qualifying businesses to follow restrictions that are one level less severe than they otherwise would need to based on their county’s level on Colorado’s color-coded COVID-19 “dial.” Before Polis’ announcement, businesses in red counties expected to get the OK to operate at the looser orange restrictions by earning 5-Star certification, which involves following strict coronavirus-prevention protocols.

Polis’ move of red counties down to orange sparked the possibility that 5-Star-qualified businesses could now operate at even morerelaxed level yellow rules, but that proved to be out of reach for most places across the state.

“I think it was very confusing and especially for counties that had received the approval for the 5-Star certification program or counties that were preparing to apply,” said Jennifer Ludwig, deputy director of Tri-County Health Department. “It really put us in this strange space.”

The state’s COVID-19 dial is the set of restrictions counties must follow based on local virus spread. Level red, a relatively new addition that took effect Nov. 20 in metro Denver and other areas of the state, banned private gatherings and indoor dining at restaurants, and tightened capacity limits at some types of businesses. Red is the second-highest level next to purple, a stay-athome order. Eventually, more than half the state’s 64 counties operated in level red.

Amid pushback from some counties and businesses against the level red restrictions, the state rolled out its 5-Star State Certification Program, modeled after a system Mesa County had “pioneered and has successfully run since the summer,” ac-

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ORANGE AND YELLOW The following are some of the capacity changes businesses in level orange could see with a move to the less-restrictive level yellow by qualifying for Colorado’s 5-Star program in counties with mild enough virus trends, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. For a complete list, go to covid19.colorado.gov/data/ covid-19-dial-dashboard and click “level restrictions” below the map.

When capacity limits are expressed as both a percentage and a total number of people, businesses must use whichever number is fewer, according to the state’s website.

• Restaurants: Changes from 25% capacity or 50 people to 50% capacity or 50 people, whichever is less.

• Offices: Changes from a 25% capacity limit to a 50% limit. Remote work is “strongly encouraged” under both the orange and yellow levels.

• Gyms/fitness centers: Changes from 25% capacity or 50 people indoors to 50% capacity or 50 people, whichever is less.

• Indoor unseated events and entertainment: Changes from 25% capacity or 50 people to 50% capacity or 50 people, whichever is less.

The differences between levels become more pronounced as counties, or 5-Star businesses, move further down the dial to levels blue and green. cording to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

The first step to increased business capacity under the program was for counties to apply for approval from the state public-health department.

After that, businesses in approved counties still must apply for certification and have their buildings inspected — and generally must follow requirements such as daily symptom checks for employees, recording customers’ names and contact information to support contact-tracing, and opening windows to maximize airflow, among others.

Amid the scramble for some local governments and businesses to apply, the blanket move to level orange came as an abrupt reshuffling of the process.

Some thought: “`Businesses were opened (further) in level orange, so what’s the benefit of 5-star?’ It caused a lot of confusion,” Ludwig said. “I do think people felt that, ‘Why are we going to have the dial if we’re not going to follow it?’”

The COVID-19 dial public health order — the document that outlines how the dial works — does give the state public-health department flexibility in choosing to change a county’s level, Ludwig noted. A county’s level usually depends on local rates of new cases, how many COVID-19 tests come back positive and the trend in hospitalizations.

But “CDPHE reserves the right to move counties one or more levels more quickly as circumstances warrant,” one part of the public health order says.

Getting to level yellow

Citing improving virus trends, Polis on Dec. 30 announced he told the state public-health department to move counties from red to orange effective Jan. 4 even though many didn’t meet requirements for the orange level according to the dial system.

Starting just before that announcement and continuing after it, the state saw a spike in the rate of daily new COVID-19 cases.

Asked whether the recent uptick was due to holiday gatherings or the move to level orange, Ludwig said “it was probably a combination,” noting that “we had Christmas and New Year’s and restaurants opening back up for dine-in.”

The State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department, said there “isn’t any evidence at this time that moving counties from red to orange contributed to any significant increases.”

The tide may be changing again: Since Jan. 9, the seven-day average case count has trended downward, the Joint Information Center said on Jan. 20.

But the recent upward turn in data put the benefit of 5-star certification further out of reach for many counties. Although the state manually moved counties to level orange, counties still must meet the orange requirements

in earnest before 5-star certified businesses can operate one level lower — at level yellow — according to the state public-health department.

Counties should meet the orange marks for local rates of new cases, also known as a county’s “incidence rate,” which is measured over two-week periods. They also need to meet thresholds for percent of COVID-19 tests come back positive and the trend in hospitalizations. Incidence rate and the test-positivity rate should be sustained for seven consecutive days, according to the Joint Information Center.

For orange counties hoping for business activity at yellow restrictions, that means tamping incidence rates down to 350 new virus cases or fewer per 100,000 people.

In Douglas County as of Dec. 30, that rate was still too high at 398, but with cases and hospitalizations appearing to improve, the county was expected at the time to hit the mark within roughly a week.

Trends took a different turn. As of Jan. 19, Douglas County’s rate sat at 436, according to Tri-County data. Arapahoe posted a 491, and Adams sat at 492.

Jefferson County sat at 383 and Denver at 448, according to the state’s website.

And although nearly all of Colorado is operating in level orange, the majority of counties — including Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson and Denver — still sat in red territory based on incidence rate. As of noon Jan. 20,

Broomfield and Elbert counties’ 5-star businesses were operating in yellow restrictions, according to the Joint Information Center.

Those appeared to be the only such counties, according to Colorado’s COVID-19 website.

But Tri-County Health’s area — Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas — is on the right track, Ludwig said.

Asked when 5-Star-certified businesses will have low enough metrics get to operate at yellow, Ludwig said, “I think we’re several weeks away,” adding that TriCounty’s area may hit the mark sooner if residents adhere to coronavirus precautions well enough.

“Since (early January), all three of our counties have been coming down at a really great pace,” Ludwig said. She added: “We did not have as big of a post-holiday spike as expected.”

The Tri-County area saw “a huge decline” in the number of businesses applying for 5-Star certification after counties were moved to level orange, Ludwig said, but the area has since seen a “slow and steady” trickle of applications.

Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson, Broomfield and Denver were among the counties approved for the 5-Star program, but Adams was not, as of Jan. 20.

Revert to red may be unlikely

Although many counties still show level-red virus trends based on incidence rate, health officials appear unlikely to move counties back to red restrictions unless the trends take a severe turn.

“I think it would have to get significantly worse,” Ludwig said. “And if numbers started to increase at a dramatic pace in which we were very nervous or we started seeing hospitalizations increasing to a point of not having ICU (intensive-care unit) capacity, I think the state health department would be having conversations about what needs to take place.”

Asked about possibly moving metro Denver counties or others back to red, the Joint Information Center said: “We need to find the delicate balance between protecting public health and doing what we can to provide much-needed economic relief — we know that economic hardships also cause poorer health outcomes. We will work closely with local public health agencies and will make decisions based on what best protects public health.”

Asked whether the dial system’s benchmarks for incidence rate should be changed and whether the levels don’t accurately reflect what restrictions ought to be, the center’s statement said: “Throughout the pandemic, we have updated policies based on new information and data available to us. Counties were moved from red to orange to provide much-needed economic relief and because we believed we could do so while also protecting public health. If we see a significant increase or decrease in disease transmission, hospitalizations and positivity rates, we will evaluate next steps.”

Siegfried cites desire to prioritize family in decision to step down

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The superintendent of one of the largest school districts in the state will retire at the end of this school year, a letter to the community announced on Jan. 22.

“It has been an honor to serve the CCSD staff, students and community over the last three decades,” Scott Siegfried, head of the Cherry Creek School District, wrote in the message. “I never saw myself serving in the role of superintendent for an extended time. Siegfried However, I would be disingenuous if I didn’t say that the last year has had an impact on myself and my family.”

Siegfried helmed the district of roughly 55,000 students during what may turn out to have been the worst of the coronavirus pandemic in Colorado, overseeing an abrupt shift to online classes last spring along with

other metro Denver school district leaders. The Cherry Creek district returned to in-person learning in the fall semester only to revert back to online-only classes, along with other metro school districts, as COVID-19 cases mounted.

The Cherry Creek district covers parts of Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Aurora, Foxfield and unincorporated Arapahoe County.

Siegfried landed his first student teaching job at Eaglecrest High School in 1995, kicking off a career in the Cherry Creek district that would span multiple schools and various administrative positions at the district level, according to a district news release. Siegfried was chosen as superintendent by the Cherry Creek school board in 2018.

In his retirement message, Siegfried recalled reflecting with his family over the holidays about his goals and priorities and about “the right moves for our family.”

“As a father, I have always taught my own kids to do what they love, and when they no longer find joy in their job, to do something else — a lesson I learned from someone important in my professional career,” Siegfried wrote. “It is time for me to SEE SIEGFRIED, P14

DEVICES FROM PAGE 1

Superintendent Wendy Rubin said in a statement.

Then on Jan. 20 at about 2:40 p.m., a woman walking her dog spotted a man leaving a suspicious device in Rotolo Park at Huron Street and Radcliff Avenue.

Again, Englewood officers established a perimeter and called in the bomb squad, which retrieved the device for further testing. The device had been placed near the fence at the north end of the park next to the playground.

The response shut down the park and Huron Street for about an hour.

The device at Rotolo Park was cylindrical and covered in black tape, but did not strongly resemble the device left at Colorado’s Finest, said Englewood Police spokesperson Scot Allen.

The device was later determined to be nonexplosive.

The man who left the device at Rotolo Park was described as a white male with red hair and a short beard, wearing a black stocking cap, jeans and a heavy coat, Allen said.

The two incidents do not appear to be related, he said.

“Both of these are active investigations and the Police

Six of one, half a dozen of the other, if that’s OK

I

’m sorry.

I’m sorry for what I would say on Twitter if I were on Twitter.

The same goes for Facebook and Instagram and any others I don’t QUIET know about.

DESPERATION Sooner or later, everyone on Twitter apologizes for something. I know I wouldn’t be any different.

I’d say something that was “tone deaf.” (I see the words “tone deaf ” Craig Marshall a lot.)

Smith At first, I’d try to defend what I said, then I’d make up an excuse for what I said.

Then I’d apologize.

It would go something like this: “I want to apologize to the State of Texas and all Texans. What I said about Texas and Texans was tone deaf. I know that now.

“This will not define me. However, I don’t know what will, and

maybe this will define me.”

Perhaps there are plenty of good reasons to have a Twitter account, and they offset all of the negativity I keep reading about.

If I did have an account, I know just what I’d do. I would be up in the middle of the night tweeting exactly what I thought of musicals. “Hamilton.” “Cats.” “Mamma Mia.” For or against? Little Miss beauty pageants, the NRA, the Second Amendment, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, peanut butter, Scientology, chocolate chip ice cream, Quentin Tarantino, motivational speakers, televangelists, situation comedies, Comic Con, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, the Easter Bunny.

My mailbox would explode, implode, spit and fume.

Last week I had a nightmare like no other: I was a contented Douglas County high school art teacher but the principal, Mr. Kafka, decided it was my turn to teach a new course.

“American Patriotism.”

I begged and pleaded: “No, not me. Not now.”

If anyone thinks “We’re all in this together,” they haven’t been paying attention.

Not wanting to stoke further divisions among the citizenry, I am going to try to sit on the fence for a while. Travel the road’s middle. Try to appeal to every man, woman and child. It can be done.

“Offend no one,” will be my motto, my newest tattoo.

I will greet everyone with a smile.

But how will they know I’m smiling behind a mask?

Good question.

The chances of a makeover are practically nil. I have been disputatious since I was a child; unlike my sister, who never complained about our mother’s spaghetti sauce.

Champion’s story plausible

The letter from Susan Thornton published in the Jan. 21 issue deserves some response. She was appalled that the Champions only saw extremely polite demonstrators at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and did not observe violence and destruction. The Champions were part of the 95+% of the protesters who were not breaking into the Capitol to destroy and steal, but instead were peaceful.

Unless he had a TV or other media device at hand, how was he supposed to observe what the violent mob was doing? Unless one was intermixed with what I believe were Antifa types who were bent on destruction, how could one see what they were doing?

Our Colorado Congressional representatives were inside the Capitol and it is understandable that they were fearful. And as Ms. Thornton implies, the entire world saw violent, destructive, and dangerous mobs overwhelming the police. But if one was a part of the thousands and thousands who were not violent and destructive, but were peaceful, and were not close to the violent mob, I can easily understand Mr. Champion’s perspective as he saw it at the time. I, for one, thank him for his accurate observations and applaud him for being a commendable representative of our community on that tragic day.

In the first place, I don’t know how to tweet. The word itself isn’t fit for a Runyonesque character like I am.

“Harry, I’m going upstairs to tweet,” would worry the dog.

Not everyone, as we know, apologizes for what they express on Twitter. Some of us never apologize.

Maybe you have noticed? People are far more likely to complain now than they once were. And to complain aggressively.

Some things trigger all of us.

Race and abortion, for examples.

Some things trigger select groups or individuals. Perfume in elevators and gum chewing.

If the whole perfume industry went away, I wouldn’t mind.

Wait. Maybe I should reword that.

Think twice: Do you really want to smell like your off-aunt’s funeral?

See what I mean? I am governed by black coffee and an unnecessary need to engage in pedantic faultfinding.

ecently I was asked about some of the best advice I have received over my career. As I considered my response, I thought about some of the great business minds and strategists who provided guidWINNING ance. I paused for WORDS a moment before answering the question. I wanted to make sure that my answer would reflect how I chose to live my life.

The answer I gave was this, “The best advice Michael Norton I have received is to provide hope and encouragement to all and to offer unconditional love and forgiveness to everyone.” This was a business interview, and I could tell that the gentleman who asked the question was caught off guard.

My instinct was right because he tried to clarify that his question was more about business advice and not personal advice.

Pausing one more time, I

thought about the response I had provided, “Provide others with hope and encouragement and live with unconditional love and forgiveness.” There was a pause on his end, so I asked if I could clarify what I meant and why I believe it was still the best advice I had ever been given personally, professionally, and spiritually. His response came quickly, “Yes, please connect the dots for me.”

Beginning with hope and encouragement I shared that early in my career I was fortunate enough to have worked in a culture of hope and encouragement. From the CEO on down, including my manager, all worked with the spirit of lifting each other up. There was hardly any turnover on the team. And since we know that people don’t leave jobs, they leave their bosses, this was so unique that I knew that I wanted to emulate it in my own career and in my life.

Wondering if it was the right approach for the company, the answer is yes, they were successfully acquired.

The attitude of gratitude was

Rule #1 for me was a commitment to creating a culture and environment based on the foundation of hope and encouragement. If that did not fit with anyone on the team, they were encouraged and free to find success elsewhere.

“Let’s not forget that we are talking about unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness that succeeds at home and at work.” That’s important because oftentimes we try and place rules around both.

Is unity possible? What we need to do first

W

e’ve been hearing a lot about “unity” in the last few weeks. Our new president and other elected officials on both sides of the aisle have been calling for it (after many months spent sowing campaign divisiveness). While GUEST the rioters were at the doorstep of our COLUMN nation’s Capitol, some congressional members were asking for “unity” while spewing inflammatory and false assertions on the floor. From other perspectives, some claim calls Linda Newell for unity cannot be trusted. What can we make of all this and how can we heal and move forward as a nation?

Unfortunately, amidst the bubbles of social media algorithms, campaigns, and disparate neighborhoods, we have created caricature perceptions of each other; demonized labels, and categories of “the other” that have proven to be divisive and even dangerous.

Sure, we could keep on living this way, and maybe we will for a while. But if we don’t get on board with the action of unity, our democratic republic might not

survive. If we cannot acknowledge each other’s basic humanity, with all our fears, misunderstandings, and disagreements, how can we ever become one undivided nation? And even if we want to truly unify, how do we do that in our fractured state of the union?

In chaplaincy, we learn how to “sit with” the pain of our patients; not to try to solve their problems, pass over the grief or fear, or tell them that everything will be all right. Rather, we sit and be with them in their reflection, just as it is, no matter how hard or awkward it may be or potentially painful. Sometimes, a loved one won’t get better or even survive.

Other times, our fears we cling to are worse than allowing the healing to occur. Yet, how can they make meaning out of what is happening? How can they learn from this moment?

Perhaps this practice can help us all in achieving unity in our country. Maybe we just need to first sit with our own grief, fears, and emotions no matter what they might look like or how painful it might be. It is only with the acknowledgment of the pain that we can truly begin to heal or change. A physician needs to diagnose an illness in order to prescribe a treatment. First comes

times, wins, losses, and family emergencies. The kind of love that team members always knew they could count on. A “family first” approach, whether it was the team’s personal family or the family culture we created on our team.

Unconditional forgiveness works the same way. I have found that most errors made in business never torpedo a company. Giving team members permission to fail.

Unconditional forgiveness is not a “get out of jail free” card. If the mistake crossed the line and hurt the company or the team, a client, or partner significantly enough, there would be consequences.

unconditional forgiveness, even if I lost an account or an opportunity. My leadership team always made sure that I was OK first, and then worked with me to identify what went wrong and what I could do better next time. It was not only their advice, they demonstrated it each day.

How about you? What’s the best advice you have received personally or professionally? I would love to hear all about it at mnorton@tramazing.com and when we can live and work with the spirit of hope and encouragement and unconditional love and forgiveness, it really will be a better than good year.

the acknowledgment of what is happening in the body. Only then can we figure out what to do for the mending.

Some of us are feeling grief about our candidate losing, or realizing that we were not told the truth or that pent-up anger can turn into danger. Others are feeling afraid that we’re losing the very foundation of our democracy.

Yet others still are sad that we’ve never actually had a just nation and afraid we won’t be able to build one that is. No matter what we’re grieving or feeling, first, we need to acknowledge that we’re all feeling something. If we can’t even acknowledge our own feelings, how will we ever recognize and work with each other’s? Without empathy for each other, unity

is impossible.

The wise Dr. Thomas Moore said that through the dark night of the soul, there is rebirth; an opportunity for growth. Honoring our grief and acknowledging our emotions may just help us transcend to a higher state of being together in this imperfect but courageous union in which we live.

OBITUARIES PATTON

James W. Patton 11/10/1929 - 1/9/2021

James Winton Patton of San Antonio, TX and previously Littleton, CO, died January 9, 2021 at the age of 91 in a nursing home due to complications of COVID-19, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. An aide held a phone to his ear as his daughter assured him he was loved. Ten minutes later he passed away.

He was born November 10, 1929 in Okemah, Oklahoma to William Henry and Doris Davenport Patton, both of Arkansas. He grew up in Clovis, New Mexico.

As a child he showed an innate knack for advanced math and chemistry, leading him to study at the University of New Mexico. Later he earned his Masters and PhDs in chemistry at the University of Wisconsin. As a chemist and geo-chemist, he spent his entire career at Marathon Oil Company in its research facility in Littleton. He was proud to be named on six U.S. and three international patents for chemical processes he developed, including the scintillatingly named, “Processes for the Autoxidation of Substituted Benzenes.”

He enjoyed searching for things, whether it was Easter eggs on the lawn of FDR’s White House in 1935 at age six, for deep sea oil reserves aboard the Glomar Challenger in 1980, or for elusive solutions to Cryptoquips, his favorite word puzzles.

His greatest devotion was to his Catholic faith, to which he converted shortly before marrying Jean Cullen Patton in 1961. He also switched to the Republican party which left his mother in tears.

James attended mass at St. Mary’s

MCELROY

Catholic Church in Littleton, sometimes daily. Later he volunteered actively with the St. Vincent de Paul chapter at All Souls parish in Englewood, lining up rent, utility assistance, furniture, and Christmas gifts for the needy.

Hobbies included collecting every Laurel & Hardy movie on 8mm film and later on DVDs, working on the earliest home computers, and doting on his Siamese cats.

He served as Scoutmaster for the Boy Scout troop at St. Mary’s for many years and took scouts on week-long adventures at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico and the Boundary Waters of Minnesota.

According to family genealogy traced back 40 generations, he was the longest living person ever in his family.

He was preceded in death by his wife Jean Cullen Patton, parents, and brother, Perkins LeFevre Patton.

Survivors include sons Vincent Patton of Portland, OR, Andrew Patton of San Antonio, TX, and daughter Doris Fox of Milford, MI, plus 5 grandchildren: David Patton, and James, Kathryn, Justin and Thomas Fox. He will be buried at Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, next to his wife. Due to COVID, there will be no funeral, though a special Memorial Mass is being said for him at his daughter’s church in Michigan.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests sending checks to St. Vincent de Paul mailed to All Souls Parish in Englewood, Colorado.

Ronald John McElroy 3/30/1927 - 1/9/2021

Ronald John McElroy of Littleton, CO passed away January 9, 2021 in Denver.

He was born March 30, 1927 in Cedar Rapids, IA to Ronald and Hazel McElroy.

Ron married Genevieve Velera Turner in 1948. He is survived by 2 brothers, 1 sister, 3 children, 8 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren. Ron owned Comet Press in Littleton for many years. He was an Adjutant of the Optimists Club and Secretary of Tom Farney Bowling League

for 30 years. Ron was an avid bowler and loved watching football. A funeral service will be held for Ron at Valley View Christian Church, 11004 Wildfield Ln, Littleton, CO 80125 on Friday, January 29, 2021 at 10:30 AM. He will be laid to rest with his wife at Ft. Logan National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Ron’s memory to Valley View Christian Church/ Masters Men.

LIFE

Traveling poet, buskers share words of love and music in the age of COVID

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

small desk, an antique typewriter and some space on Denver’s 16th Street Mall are the tools Colorado native Devan Kingsford needs to arouse some pretty strong emotions.

With a few taps on the Remington mobile’s keys, he creates unique poetry on demand for strangers passing by.

“I love doing this. I have an English degree, so I’m probably going to end up teaching at some point,” said Kingsford. “But for now, I’m fine just writing poetry for strangers.”

Up the street, Peter Olschner and Kyle Lang are two young street musicians performing soulful jazz tunes and trying to preserve downtown Denver’s rich history of street music.

“We don’t have a band name because we just started jamming together,” said Olschner. “We both love playing music with other people.”

It was a cold January day on the mall and it was bare with masked people enjoying entertainment, restaurants and shopping to escape COVID quarantines. COVID-19 has presented some challenges, especially for performers and musicians. The pandemic took away Lang’s job, sending him to the streets to play.

“I used to teach percussion in public schools around Colorado and after the pandemic shut down extracurricular activities, I was kinda lost for a bit,” he said. “It’s been great getting back into it, though.”

Olschner said the pandemic had a positive impact on playing his music because he was able to still earn an income.

“I would not have discovered my love for busking if I had a traditional gig opportunity. I’ve been able to continue to be a performer despite the situation surrounding the pandemic,” he said.

As for Kingsford, the typewriter poet, the pandemic moved him away from his favorite spot in Larimer Square, but it has not slowed him down. He is still able to find locations to set up his typewriter.

“There was more walking space and, luckily, we have the 16th Street Mall, which is a pedestrian mall which gives you a lot more space. Without that extra space, I probably would not have been able to work. Also, it would not be at a safe distance,” said Kingsford.

Shouting on the street corners

Kingsford is a native of Colorado and received an English degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver. He has been

creating poetry for strangers for more than seven years on the streets of Denver and at special events. He does not charge for his poetry but accepts donations.

Kingsford started working as a poet at the Art Walk on Santa Fe Drive in Denver, standing on the street corner with a book of his own poems in his hand, shouting his creations to strangers.

He did that until a woman warned him that he should stop.

“You are gonna get yourself killed — there’s one thing people hate worse than poetry, is when it’s screamed at them by a stranger,” said Kingsford.

Kyle Lang was inspired to play drums as an outlet to express himself.

She suggested that he get a typewriter to choose a topic and write for strangers.

“I started doing that and never looked back. It’s incredible,” he said.

Crying and hugging

Kingsford’s poetry has touched many hearts with his words, none more than his own — sometimes in ways he has a hard time describing.

“You know, I can’t even imagine as a poet, I should have had a word for it,” said Kingsford.

A few years ago a woman approached him and asked for a

poem.

“She was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, and she had six months to live. She wanted me to write her a poem that made her not afraid of death,” said Kingsford. “I wrote her poem. Then we cried together and hugged, and then she left.”

Have Remington, will travel

Why did Kingsford choose an antique Remington typewriter to create his poems?

“I own about 11 typewriters.

Three of them are Remington SEE PERFORMERS, P15

Carving wood, taking photos keeps artist busy Bill Knoll is exhibitor, officer with volunteer organization that runs gallery

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“If possible, I used rescued wood from local trees to make small bowls, boxes and many other artistic wooden items,” said Bill Knoll.

He exhibits both photography and wood pieces with the Littleton Fine Arts Guild’s Depot Art Center, when it’s open — and serves as vice president for the organization, helping the volunteer organization function smoothly.

Knoll wrote that his father introduced him to this interest, as well as photography — both above and below water.

He and Guild member Tim Kathka exhibited their photography last year at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch, which readers may recall.

And he has happily passed his interests along to children and grandchildren. He describes himself as “Husband, Father, Grandfather, Photographer and Woodworker.”

With eyes that find beauty as he makes his way through the world, “I try to look for subjects that define my interests and things in nature that others pass by every day and never see.”

Photos we are seeing today in ad-

dition to wood pieces, include photographic images of a vibrant pink wild rose, a puffer fish, a hummingbird in flight (one can almost hear it!) and a dramatic photo of a bright moon reflecting on a highly polished large building. (Plus a self-portrait of a smiling man you’d want to chat with ...)

His professional career was in electrical engineering and he retired after “designing and building community water facilities across the country.” He has widened his interests in nature over the years.

The aforementioned “under water” part relates to a passion for scuba diving — and photographing a whole other colorful world to be found beneath the surface of the water.

With other Guild members, he ex-

hibits images elsewhere in the community: at Smokin’ Fins Restaurant, Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center (where “It’s a Small World,” an exhibit of small works, is still open during box office hours) and at Nixon’s Coffee House in Englewood and at the Arapahoe County Justice Center.

We’ll hope the Depot Art Gallery will be able to open doors again soon, so one can stroll in and enjoy the art works in person.

We understand that photographer Peggy Dietz is assembling a new virtual member exhibit in the meantime — to open in early March 2021.

Watch for a notice here.

MY NAME IS

ALEX GONZALEZ

Young artist turns mental turmoil into peace through drawing Coping through art

I do a lot of abstract art. It’s what comes out of my head. I have schizoaffective disorder — I was diagnosed in 2018, and art became a therapeutic way to deal with it. It helped me grow as a person.

I’ve been in therapy for three years. Art helps me deal with the breaks from reality I experience.

My therapy has taught me a lot of coping mechanisms and grounding skills and how to structure my life better.

My breaks in reality can be so unorganized and messy. To get past it, I have to dissect it. Drawing it out on paper allows me to give my thoughts meaning, put them aside, and move on.

Breaking taboos

My face tattoos came from a belief I had that if I changed how I physically looked, I could reflect that change inside. It sounds weird. Face tattoos are a taboo thing in much of the Western world.

They either intimidate people, or make me more approachable. The second one is interesting — I’ll be at the park, and random people will approach me and talk to me. I like that.

Alex Gonzalez said his face tattoos push some people away -- but also attract people who will understand and accept him.

PHOTO BY DAVID GILBERT

My tattoos attract the right people and repel the people who won’t understand me.

They do make employment harder.

When I first got a job cleaning offices, I was afraid that people wouldn’t like me or find me threatening. I look out of place in an office setting, but I’ve gotten to know a lot of tenants. My initial assumption about what people would think of me was wrong.

People don’t see me as a bad person

because I decided to do this. They see the good in me, that I’m just another human being trying to make it, pay my bills, and live my life.

Finding peace

I want to be content. We treat happiness as an unachievable destination, but if you’re content and at peace, that’s more empowering. I want to be more at peace with myself.

I want to make something out of my art. I hope to start a clothing brand — I make patches for jackets out of canvas and fabric markers and sew them on. I’m also experimenting with custom finishes like

prioritize my family and to create the opportunity for someone else to bring their joy and passion to this role.”

He nodded to the “fortitude and resilience that our Cherry Creek Schools community has modeled throughout this pandemic,” calling it a “heavy year, marked by tragedy and unimaginable challenges but also by acts of courage and a collective determination to rise to this moment.”

The Cherry Creek school board, in a statement released the same day, thanked Siegfried for his “courageous leadership and tireless dedication during this pandemic.”

“While we wish that he could stay on in the role to continue leading our district, we also honor and respect his decision to prioritize his family,” the statement read.

The board was to “immediately begin to develop a fair and informed process for selecting the next superintendent,” the statement continued.

Siegfried led the district through a handful of recent years that saw student suicide deaths in the south Denver metro area — including in Cherry Creek district — draw public

leopard print collars. They look pretty cool.

I had a bit of an epiphany: Every time I make a men’s jacket, I get too attached and I want to keep it. Today I bought a couple women’s jackets to work on, and that way they’re easier to sell when I’m done.

Learn to have compassion for one another. In the tech age, it’s easier than ever to believe stereotypes before you know who someone is.

concern. Siegfried took pride in what he called the district’s “deep, longstanding commitment to mental health.”

“We can evidence that by the number of employees in place. We have a full-time nurse in every building — we’re the only district in Colorado that can say that. And that’s in addition to counselors,” Siegfried told Colorado Community Media in 2019.

Amid suicide deaths in the district that year, the district added two new directors of mental health and took other actions aimed at preventing suicide and raising awareness about mental health.

Siegfried supported a shift away from pushing for every student to attend college, prioritizing “career preparedness and success as a goal,” Siegfried told CCM in 2019. The Cherry Creek Innovation Campus, the district’s new facility for career-technical learning, opened in August 2019.

“We have to meet students where they are,” Siegfried said at the time.

“I’m proud of that shift we have made in the past few years.”

In his retirement announcement, Siegfried expressed gratitude for his time in the district.

“I will always care deeply for this organization,” Siegfried wrote. “I am thankful for everything it has given me and I am also excited for a new chapter in my life.”

portables because they are incredible,” he said. “It’s like a laptop. It’s small, the fonts are 10 points and I average from three to 16 lines. I only use little quarter sheets of paper to write my poems. So you can fit a lot of words.”

As far as personalizing each poem, Kingsford said he relies on the subject to get him started. Some people offer up their whole life story, others only give non-verbal clues.

“There are other poets who do this, and they have their methods. I don’t like to ask a lot of questions, I don’t want to put words in your mouth or suggestions. I ask people to give me whatever they have at that moment,” said Kingsford.

Kingsford is available at 720-5469494 or by email at devankingsford@ gmail.com to book him for an event or to create a special poem for a loved one.

Street musicians

Olschner plays guitar and Lang plays drums. Both have been playing music since they were children and have been playing together for a short time. Lang loves instrumental math-rock music, and Olschner loves jazz. So the plan is to form a jazz combo and do covers with popular tunes.

Olschner 24, was born and raised in Arvada. He attended Pomona High School in Arvada, learning choir and musical theater. Olschner went to Pacific Lutheran University

in Tacoma, Washington, and studied philosophy and music.

He has been playing guitar since he was 16 years old and mostly earns income full time as a street performer in Denver and Boulder — supplemented by walking his brother’s dog for extra income.

Kyle Lang, 21, was adopted from Korea and grew up in Westminster.

He is studying psychology at Front Range Community College and was a music major at Metropolitan State University. He’s been playing drums for 12 years, which supplements his regular paycheck from NAPA Auto Parts in Boulder.

Expressions and Guitar Hero

Lang was inspired to play drums to express himself.

“It’s another way for me to speak, and it gives me a creative outlet to express myself,” said Lang.

Olschner was inspired to play guitar by a music computer game.

“I grew up playing the game Guitar

Hero 3 and I loved the soundtrack so much,” Olschner said. “I realized that I could play the songs on a real guitar if I practiced enough. When I was a sophomore in high school, my friend sold me his acoustic guitar with a buzzy string for $20, and I haven’t looked back since.”

He’d like to open a private lesson studio teaching students music theory and guitar techniques.

“I am working towards producing original music, music videos, and educational videos for the internet as another source of income down the line,” said Olschner.

Lang’s short-term goal is to finish his degree at Colorado State University. After graduation, he plans to start a career in counseling.

“My long-term goal is buying a Honda Civic type R,” said Lang.

Mall music

Olschner enjoys performing his music for people on the 16th Street Mall and the Pearl Street Mall in

Boulder. The practice has developed him into an experienced performer.

“The people are very generous with their tips when they are enjoying the music. I love making cash tips, because it allows me to pay for my rent and my groceries as I continue to develop my career as a professional musician,” said Olschner.

Lang enjoys playing at the mall for a variety of people.

“Music always brings people together... I love the crowd, and I love being able to share my craft with others,” Lang said.

Lang and Olschner’s plans are to play Sunday jazz night at Dazzle in downtown Denver. You can watch the Lang and Olschner on tiktok with username @cattrumpets.

Doxxing by Parker man caused fear for woman, family State health employee shares her experience after alarming social media post

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

All it took was the ring of a doorbell for Sarah Tuneberg’s 10-year-old son to burst into tears.

The tension in the Denver home had already felt palpable as Tuneberg was grappling with how to keep her family safe. And now, an Amazon package delivery had sent her child into a panic.

“Are they here?” the boy asked through tears. “Whoever posted your name on the internet?”

It was more than her name that was posted online, however. Tuneberg’s address, along with a note encouraging people to “let them know how you feel” was posted to Facebook by a Parker man Dec. 28.

She had been doxxed.

As a special senior adviser for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s COVID-19 response, Tuneberg had been identified by the man as someone “putting thousands out of work,” and “killing businesses.”

“We’ll see how strong they are at their homes,” wrote Mark Hall, a 2020 Parker Town Council candidate and a co-chair of the Parker Republicans.

Sarah Tuneberg, whose home address was shared online, poses for a portrait on PHOTO BY ELLIOTT WENZLER her front porch.

What followed for the mother of three were calls with the state’s homeland security department, increased police patrols by her home, tears, confusion and an internet binge on the rumors about her that were now spreading like wildfire.

‘I burst into tears’

Earlier in the day Dec. 28, before she became aware of the doxxing, Tuneberg had sent an email to her colleague letting him know she would be taking 24 hours off to rest and reflect. She was brought on board by Gov. Jared Polis in March to fight the pandemic and expand community testing for the virus.

She’d been working an average of

12- to 14-hour days for months and felt like she was accomplishing some of the best work of her career.

Less than a minute after sending that email, her colleague called her with the news that her name and address had been posted online and that people were being encouraged to come protest at her home.

“I was just like ‘what?’” she said in an interview with Colorado Community Media. “It was so terrifying, I won’t lie. I was so caught off guard and shaken ... I burst into tears.”

Things moved quickly after that.

She was immediately connected with the Colorado Information Analysis Center, a part of the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. They guided her through a flurry of protective steps they recommend when things like this are done to people.

Close the blinds. Take everything off your porch. Lock your doors.

Lock your windows.

All of these measures were being taken because of the actions of a complete stranger in another town.

“I’ve never met Mark Hall in my life. I’ve never heard of him,” Tuneberg said.

A Facebook group called “Revolt Against Shutdowns, Big Box Holidays,” was created Dec. 28. Hall posted in the group that he would, every day, be posting “the name and address of unelected, non-law enforcement officers who think they can flex muscles in businesses.”

“If they want a war, we can give them that,” he wrote.

Hall said he wasn’t advocating for violence, but asked people to show up to the employees’ homes with air horns, honking and signs.

After he posted the addresses of Tuneberg and another CDPHE employee, Hall received comments of encouragement.

“Take the gloves off. This is a bare knuckle war,” one commenter wrote. “Forget the rule book. Jungle rules apply now.”

To this comment, Hall responded “I agree … it will probably come to that.”

Others, however, were furious.

Guided to the post by a 9News story about the doxxing, some commenters criticized the post and Hall.

The next day, Hall took down the post and apologized, saying: “People and small businesses right now

are very passionate and concerned about what’s happening with continued shutdowns, and the actions I took were an attempt to express my frustration.”

But by then, Tuneberg’s address had been seen and shared countless times. As far as she knows, no one showed up to protest, but the fear that someone could tuck the information away to use later has already been planted in her mind.

“To be threatened in your home when it’s the only place you can go right now, it was really intense,” Tuneberg said.

Tuneberg, who has called the posting of her address “cowardly,” said it’s ridiculous for Hall to say he wasn’t calling for violence while posting her address and using words like “war” and “revolution.”

Hall declined requests to be interviewed for this story.

‘An internet hole’

The day of rest and relaxation that Tuneberg had planned for suddenly looked very different.

“I’m embarrassed to admit, I fell into an internet hole,” she said.

She went through the “explosion” of messages she was receiving on Twitter and Facebook. She read through comments from people saying she was part of a great conspiracy to depopulate the planet, enslave society and collect people’s DNA through COVID-19 testing. The world sort of fell away, she said.

She explained to her kids what was happening, and took it as an opportunity to talk about how words and actions have consequences, even when you can’t see them, she said.

“I didn’t run for office. I really am just trying to do my best work and it feels so strange to be identified as someone who is worthy of that level of vitriol,” she said.

She has tried to get in touch with Hall — who as of Jan. 18 hadn’t responded or contacted her directly, she said — to let him know the impact of this event on her life, she said.

“I’d like to tell him who I am and what it was like to be on the other end of that and what it was like for my kids,” she said. “I’m just trying really hard in a global pandemic and you, without knowing me … decided I’m an enemy and deserving of incredible consequence in my life.”

C R O S SWO R D Faith leaders discuss P U Z Z L E ‘opening people’s eyes’ to racism Across the country, demonstrations over the past several months buoyed up a conversation about race and unequal treatment that protesters say still runs rampant in the lives of people of color.

A pertinent question for a nation of many faiths: Where does religion fit into the conversation?

Five Colorado religious leaders gathered in a virtual live talk on Jan. 17, discussing everything from the Black Lives Matter movement to Asian Americans experiencing discrimination because of COVID-19 to how to faith leaders can wade into the challenging space of addressing racism.

“For Buddhists, one of the most important things is to look at the self,” said Rev. Diana Thompson, a Kaikyoshi minister at the Tri-State/ Denver Buddhist Temple.

If you’ve been called racist, “you need to just sit and listen — you need to be with them, you need to understand the perspective that they’re coming from,” Thompson said.

“We see self-reflection as the beginning of our social engagement,” Thompson said. The talk was put on by the nonprofit Colorado Humanities.

Worshipers should ask: “Where did we come from, or how did we come together?” said Kamel Elwazeir, president of the Islamic Society of Colorado Springs.

“If we can agree that the creator created us from clay, from dirt, and that we all belong to Adam, then we are all connected, and there is no” difference between one another, Elwazeir said. “It is considered a sin in Islam and talk down to (someone) or look down on him because of skin color.”

Rev. Joan Bell-Haynes, executive regional minister of the Central Rocky Mountain Region of the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, brought up her organization’s effort to “eradicate racism

within each (part) of our church.”

“Our concern is based in our theology that all people are created in God’s image, and that is the image of humanity, not one race or another,” Bell-Haynes said.

The local faith leaders touched upon the Black Lives Matter movement, which opposes “statesanctioned violence” against Black people, along with “anti-Black racism,” according to its website.

Adrian Miller, executive director of the Colorado Council of Churches — an organization that aims to work “together for justice” in the Christian community — referred to the “All lives matter” response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

“When you say, ‘Save the whales, nobody says ‘all fish matter,’” Miller said.

When some began attributing COVID-19 to Chinese people, Thompson said a member of her temple was called a “COVID (expletive)” at a grocery store. Thompson also lamented former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric regarding the coronavirus but argued that conversations about social issues shouldn’t break down by party affiliation.

“We can’t say that just because you are this political affiliation, you’re a piece of junk because things are far more complicated than that,” Thompson said.

How to lead faith congregations in conversations about race also came up in the discussion. Bell-Haynes asks those in the faith community to inquire about what racism looks like in their own community context.

“Some of them may say, ‘I don’t have experience with racism.’ Well then … who are the people being marginalized?” Bell-Haynes said.

Worshipers should be helping others “to open their eyes that there are people in our own communities that are being treated inferiorly.”

Colorado Humanities, a nonprofit, provides educational programs about topics such as history, literature and religion, according to its website.

CENTER FROM PAGE 1

From humble beginnings, the program grew — with support from six years of federal grants in the past decade — to become a vital component of the landscape of low-cost immigration services in the Denver area. But the center lost its federal funding in 2018, and the City of Littleton agreed to backfill it while the center sought new revenue.

Then came the pandemic, leaving city finances battered. The LIRC became one of many city departments facing deep cuts. New revenue sources have yet to emerge. With its services as in demand as ever, the center enters 2021 denuded and facing an uncertain future.

‘My kids are here’

There was little time to think of the big picture on Jan. 15.

Rabello shook off the last few calls as she turned her attention to Maria Samaniego, who needed help renewing her work permit.

Samaniego, from Mexico, has been working on obtaining a green card, the final step before citizenship, but COVID-era bureaucratic quagmires have held it up. Samaniego’s only option: Renew her work permit, a level below a green card in legal privileges.

The stakes are high: Any mistakes on the permit application could snowball into bigger setbacks. The legal immigration process can literally stretch out for decades. Having someone to help go over the paperwork is an added assurance. While other immigration legal services may charge as much as $700 for a review, the LIRC charges just $100.

“My husband is in the hospital, recovering from surgery,” Samaniego said. “I’ve been working catering and food service, but there aren’t many jobs right now. We don’t have much money, and I’m praying to God I can keep my residency status. My kids are here.”

From humble beginnings

Founded in 2005 as an outgrowth of the Littleton Leadership Retreat, a local civic affairs brainstorming group, the LIRC initially offered a narrow range of referral services.

But after landing a two-year, $250,000 grant from U.S. Customs

and Immigration Services (USCIS) in 2012, the center greatly expanded its services, adding citizenship and English classes and several staff members specially trained in filing citizenship applications. The City of Littleton matched the grant, adding $125,000 each year from the city’s general fund to support the center’s efforts.

The center’s grant was renewed in 2014 and 2016. But in 2018, USCIS declined to renew the grant, saying that while the LIRC scored high marks in most eligibility criteria, it fell short of student attendance goals for follow-up tests after citizenship classes.

Littleton City Council then agreed to fully fund the center — to the tune of roughly $300,000 a year — through 2020, with the goal of finding more outside funding.

Those efforts have largely come up short.

In 2020, as part of city-wide budget-slashing measures amid the pandemic, city officials began slicing away at the program, laying off a legal coordinator, a citizenship class coordinator and a receptionist. Three people remain on staff: Rabello, an English teacher and a volunteer coordinator. From a high of more than $300,000 two years ago, the center’s budget in 2021 is $147,084.

Good citizenship

Citizenship classes have been cut from the program’s offerings.

The backlog of clients waiting for assistance with legal filings has grown. English classes continue, but only online, which can be tricky in low-income households with poor internet connections or for people who are elderly or struggle with technology.

The LIRC has long depended on a slew of volunteers, but their numbers have fallen from about 100 before the pandemic to roughly 50 now. Some of the volunteers, many of them seniors, also struggle with the new virtual paradigm.

“It’s been hard, but we’re adapting as best as we can,” Rabello said.

For those who can navigate the new online offerings, there’s a benefit: The services can reach more people, without the trouble of coming to the library in person.

Rabello is currently juggling 90 active immigration cases.

“They’re taking longer now, be-

cause COVID has made the agencies very slow,” she said.

Losing the citizenship classes was a blow to the center, Rabello told a meeting of the city’s Next Generation Advisory Committee in October. Immigrants who want citizenship must undergo a civics exam, which was recently expanded from 100 possible questions to 128.

“Our system of government is unlike many others in the world,” Rabello said in October. “Immigrants need someone to explain how things work and what the Constitution is.

It gives them a chance to understand how our society is organized.”

‘The stakes are high’

The center fills an important niche in Denver-area immigration services, said Atim Otii, the director of the Denver Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs, Denver’s cityrun immigrant resource center.

“There are only nine centers that offer affordable legal services in the Denver area, and we have 350,000 immigrants and refugees in the metro area,” Otii said. “Demand is high, and immigration is a very complex process.”

USCIS leaves little wiggle room for incorrectly filed paperwork, Otii said. Small mistakes can cause rejections and setbacks for people in vulnerable situations.

“Folks are desperate for the opportunities and rights that come with citizenship, and when they can’t get low-cost services, many will turn to family and friends, or unscrupulous services that may be ineffective or charge exorbitant amounts,” Otii said. “It can have severe consequences. The stakes are high.”

Seeking citizenship has become tougher in the Trump era as the federal government has taken a hardline approach to immigration, said Julia Guzman, a Littleton-area immigration attorney who provides low-cost services.

“There have been a lot of directives to immigration officials to deny a lot more stuff,” Guzman said.

“Applications are getting denied because someone left a blank where they should have written in N/A. It’s got to be perfect, and LIRC is good at that.”

Limited resources

But with the city facing ongoing revenue shortfalls amid a prolonged pandemic and a sputtering economy,

the LIRC falls low on the city’s priority list.

“This program was built up on grant funding that is no longer there,” said City Manager Mark Relph. “Even before the pandemic, city council said they were not interested in investing general fund dollars into this in perpetuity. If you look at any piece of the city budget in isolation, it’s hard to say ‘let’s cut that.’ But we had to cut a lot of things and make tough decisions.

We’re trying to be as efficient as we can.”

In October, Rabello told the Next Generation Advisory Committee — a commission of people age 36 and younger who advise the City of Littleton on policy matters that impact the attraction and retention of young residents and employees — that the immigrant center has come under scrutiny from city leaders because much of its clientele lives outside Littleton.

“The mayor would like us to work for Littleton residents,” Rabello told the group. “But as we’re recognized and accredited, we need to work for low-income people, regardless of which city they live in. I understand city taxpayers are funding us, but we have a mission to accomplish. It can’t be delineated to city limits.”

Littleton Mayor Jerry Valdes said while he greatly admires the work the center does, it will remain a low priority in difficult economic times.

“I wish we had lots of money to take care of lots of programs,” Valdes said. “It’s easy to look like a good guy by giving away taxpayer money to good programs, but it’s my fiduciary responsibility to be a good steward of our very limited resources.”

Valdes said it’s too soon to say whether the council will seek to cut the LIRC program’s remaining city funding. Council will begin its 2022 budget process in spring.

“Yes, it could be on the chopping block, like a lot of other programs we’re looking at,” Valdes said. “It’s about what we can do, not what we want to do.”

Valdes said he and his wife have donated thousands of dollars to the program over the years, and his brother has volunteered as a tutor.

“If citizens really want this program to continue at a high level,” the mayor said, “they need to start volunteering their time and digging in their own pockets.”

And, the worst part is, after you run out of money, you are forced to find a new place to live.

The point to all of this I am trying to make is this… Why save all of your money just for the nursing home use it all up in a very short amount of time? Tap into your home’s equity with a reverse mortgage and enjoy life to the best of your ability today.
