Remembering the life of Brian Vogt
BY ISABEL GUZMAN IGUZMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Brian Vogt was anything but ordinary. From being elected class president every year at Littleton’s Heritage High School to helping form the City of Centennial in 2001 to becoming Denver Botanic Gardens’ CEO, Vogt lived a life of public service that went beyond expectations.
“We wouldn’t be here today without Brian Vogt and the founding fathers of Centennial. Nearly three decades ago, Brian had the passion and fortitude to bring a new city to life,” said Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko in a news release. “Brian’s legacy in Centennial will always be remembered. e impact on our community will live for centuries to come and is something his loved ones should be very proud of. Brian will be tremendously missed.” Vogt, 66, died from complications of cancer in his esophagus on March 25.
Vogt’s legacy kicked o at the age of 4, when his father, Roy Vogt, was elected Arapahoe County sheri in 1962 and the family settled in Littleton.
“Brian loved problem-solving, learn-
ing new things, diverse people, culture, places and ideas, a united front in di cult challenges, a quality team of fun, smart, hardworking people that care,” said one of Vogt’s longtime best friends, former Arapahoe County Commissioner John Brackney. “Day in and out, he did good work. He also loved just a good laugh and camaraderie with friends.”
Brackney and Vogt were a partnership powerhouse that worked to achieve many things in Centennial, Littleton and the broader Arapahoe County. e rst project the pair worked on was redeveloping and establishing Littleton’s municipal courthouse on Littleton Boulevard, previously known as the Arapahoe County courthouse.
When district courts moved to the Arapahoe County Justice Center on Potomac Street in 1987, the Littleton courthouse sat vacant for nearly a decade until talk about what to do with the building started.
e county considered repairing it, but eventually decided it was too expensive for a small space. Demolition was also considered.
Yet, in 1998, county commissioners and
the Littleton City Council worked together to reach an agreement in which the county deeded the property to the Littleton Municipal Building Authority. e courthouse was designated as a historic landmark that same year and the restoration was completed and dedicated on May 13, 2000.
Early life wins
After high school, Vogt attended the University of Colorado-Boulder and earned a degree in classical antiquities in 1981. While in college, Vogt studied abroad for a year in Lancaster, England, where he met lifelong friends that crossed international borders.
During Ronald Reagan’s presidency, Vogt worked closely with the administration, organizing events and learning about national governance and policy.
When he returned to Colorado, he began working with the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. During his18 years with the chamber, he served four as its vice president for economic development and 14 as president.
Cities, county, SSPRD o er signature July 4 show
BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Englewood, Littleton, Sheridan and Arapahoe County are partnering again this year to host a free Independence Day celebration.
“It is a regional tradition that features food trucks, entertainment and a spectacular reworks show,” said Toni Arnoldy, events supervisor for Englewood. “ e event is made possible through a strong partnership with the cities of Englewood, Littleton, Sheridan and Arapahoe County and South Suburban Parks and Recreation.”
e event will take place from 5-10 p.m. on July 4 at Cornerstone Park and adjacent Belleview Park, 5001 S. Inca Drive in Englewood. Fireworks are expected to start at 9:15 p.m. Arnoldy said people can expect a relaxed and festive atmosphere at both Belleview and Cornerstone parks.
“Families and friends are welcome to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy food trucks, vendors and community spirit leading up to the reworks show,” Arnoldy said. “It is a great way to spend a summer evening.”
e format of the event will be similar to previous years, as Arnoldy said people have enjoyed it.
“We have heard from attendees that they love the setup, so we are keeping things simple and enjoyable,” Arnoldy said. “Our goal is to create another safe, memorable night for the entire community.”
For Arnoldy, the best aspect of the celebration is seeing all the di erent communities coming together.
“Whether it is running into familiar faces or welcoming rst-time attendees, this event always reminds us what community is all about,” Arnoldy said. “We ask that guests leave pets at home, unless they are service animals, and refrain from bringing alcohol or personal reworks. Limited parking is available onsite, so we encourage carpooling or walking if possible. Most of all, we hope everyone comes ready to relax and enjoy the holiday together.”
Brian Vogt’s celebration of life ceremony took place at Denver Botanic Gardens on June 12.

Garibaldi eatery reopens after tax seizure
Owners took out personal loans to settle debt to city
BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Garibaldi Mexican Bistro in Englewood reopened June 20 just in time for the dinner rush after being seized by the city earlier this month due to unpaid sales taxes.
Jesus Cruz, one of the owners of Garibaldi, con rmed the reopening on June 20, sharing a mixture of relief and gratitude.
“Over this week, we were able to get in contact with the City of Englewood and we were able to work out payment to pretty much get back in there and go back in business,” Cruz said. “ e City of Englewood was very forgiving and helpful with the situation. So we’re very thankful to them for what they were able to work out with us so we could get back in business.”
Cruz, who co-owns the restaurant with his father, paid o the full tax debt — initially reported by the city to be about $70,000 — through a series of personal loans. While a GoFundMe campaign raised about $2,100, Cruz made it clear he didn’t want the burden of the debt to fall on the community.
“I knew that the GoFundMe wasn’t going to pay for everything,” Cruz said. “A lot of people were commenting like, ‘It’s your fault for the taxes,’ which I understand. I never said it wasn’t our fault. It was just the circumstances that we were in, it was either use every cent
we got from sales during COVID to pay my sta , bills, and rent — or close.”
Cruz said he takes full responsibility for the tax issues and that he understands people’s frustration with the GoFundMe.
“I understand, that was something irresponsible that shouldn’t have been done on my behalf. I did it. I regret it,” Cruz said.
e payment to the city was nalized the morning of June 20.
“We went to the city at like 10:15 a.m.,” Cruz said. “We made the nal payment and received the keys. e city went in and removed the sign that they had placed on the doors, and we got right to it.”

More Buyers Are Choosing ARMs — Here’s Why It Might Be a Smart Strategy
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (or ARMs) were commonly used by purchasers from 2004 to 2006. Roughly 35% of mortgages originated during those years were “adjustable.” After the 2008 housing/ fiscal crisis, caused in part by risky mortgage loan products including ARMs, the number of ARM transactions made in the U.S. plummeted. But now we are seeing a resurgence of them.
As in the past, Jaxzann Riggs, owner of The Mortgage Network, helped me with the current situation so I could share it with you.
What Exactly Is an ARM?
Until recently there was not much incentive for borrowers to consider an ARM because (unlike the ARMs offered 2004-2008) there was virtually no disparity between rates offered on ARMs, and those offered on a 30-year fixed rate loan. In the past 30 days that has changed. As of June 15th, Mortgage Daily News reported an average rate of 6.88% and 6.90% for a 30-year fixed rate loan versus 6.625% and 6.45% being offered on a 5-year Adjustable Rate Mortgage.
An ideal ARM borrower often:
Plans to live in the home for fewer than 5, 7 or 10 years;
Ultimately, the risks of an ARM are manageable, providing you understand and plan for them.
An ARM is a home loan with an interest rate that adjusts over time. Historically, you start with a lower, fixed interest rate for a set period — typically 5, 7, or 10 years — and then the rate adjusts at regular intervals based on market conditions.
For example, a 7/1 ARM locks in your rate for seven years, then adjusts annually. A 10/6 ARM is at a fixed rate for 10 years, then adjusts every six months. These loans are structured with caps to limit how much your rate (and payment) can increase at each adjustment or over the life of the loan.
Why More Buyers Are Taking a Second Look at ARMs
Many purchasers anticipate rate cuts ahead. By using an ARM now, they will enjoy a slightly lower rate during the initial fixed period. Some have the hope that, instead of increasing on the adjustment date, the rate will remain the same or possibly come down. Experts say that the current flatter yield curve supports that theory.
While ARMs aren’t one-size-fits-all, they make a lot of sense for certain buyers, especially those with short- to mid-term homeownership plans or who are financially stable enough to absorb a future rate increase if needed.
Has a stable income and good credit or anticipates increases in income that would allow them to keep up with increases, in case their bet on the direction of rates turns out to be wrong;
Has a financial safety net in case payments rise; and
Understands how interest rate adjustments work.
This isn’t about gambling on the market, it’s about strategic planning. That’s where an experienced mortgage loan officer becomes invaluable. They can help you compare options, understand caps and margins, and decide whether an ARM aligns with your financial goals.
ARMs today are far more borrowerfriendly than they were in decades past. Most no longer carry prepayment penalties, and most feature rate caps that protect against sharp increases. And if rates go down, you may even benefit from lower payments and, of course, borrowers always have the option to refinance at a fixed rate when the time is right.
The Bottom Line In a high-cost housing market like Denver’s, flexibility matters. An adjustable-rate mortgage could be a smart, strategic choice; especially when guided by the right mortgage professional. Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing for a growing family, or simply exploring ways to maximize your budget, it’s worth having a conversation with a trusted loan officer.

With Temperatures Rising, Homeowners Without Air Conditioning Are Asking What’s the Best Way to Add It
I have a listing coming up later this summer in the Beverly Heights section of Golden. It has hot water baseboard heating, which is wonderful, but that means there are no ducts to distribute air from an A/C compressor.
Homes with forced air heating systems have it easy. A “chiller” connected to an outdoor A/C compressor can be mounted above the firebox for a few thousand dollars. It uses the same ducts as the furnace, and the forced air unit becomes an “air handler” for delivering the cooled air.
I have previously promoted the idea of using a heat pump to drive that “chiller” unit. Not only does it provide needed cooling, but the heat pump can also provide efficient heating in the winter, leaving the gas furnace idle or used only when it’s colder than the heat pump can handle (below 0º F with today’s cold climate heat pumps).
But what if there are no ducts, as in my listing in Beverly Heights?
The answer depends partly on the style of the house. Is it one-story, two-story, or splitlevel? The one-story home is easiest to accommodate with a ductless solution. An A/C compressor can be mounted on the roof, with an air handler in the attic below it. From there, flexible round ducts (not rectangular metal ducts) can direct that air to ceiling vents in the living area and the separate bedrooms, with a return air vent somewhere in between, such as in the ceiling of a hallway.
Alternatively (my preference), a groundmounted heat pump compressor can be positioned on an unobtrusive side of the house, with two hoses going to each of the wallmounted “mini splits” in those same rooms. The hoses are hidden in square conduits, usually white, measuring 3 or 4 inches square, running around the house at ground level and
then up the exterior walls to where the inside mini-split units are located.
I was fortunate to have a flat roof on my former office building, and I was able to put the compressor on the roof and run the two homes to three different mini-splits entirely on the roof, eliminating those visible conduits.
The conduits don’t have to be run outside, and the mini-splits don’t have to be on an exterior wall. If you visit the Golden Diner at 11th & Jackson in downtown Golden, notice the mini-split on the wall between the kitchen and the serving area.
In a two-story or split-level home, a roofmount compressor with an air handler in the attic becomes less optimal. However, it can still work. Cold air pumped into the top level can settle downward, cooling lower levels. An evaporative cooler (aka “swam cooler”) can work even better, because you can control where the cold air goes by which windows
New Energy Colorado Honors Former Gov. Bill Ritter
At its annual Summer Solstice Party at the Retreat at Solterra, New Energy Colorado presented former Governor Bill Ritter with a “Lifetime Achievement Award,” citing him for “Leading Colorado Towards a Clean Energy Economy.” Left to right, NEC board member Nancy Kellogg and VP Rebecca Cantwell are shown making the presentation. Ritter gave a keynote speech thanking NEC for its advocacy over the years and emphasized the importance of groups like NEC remaining vocal, “especially in these times.” As governor, he embraced and presided over the evolution toward green energy, and he has advocated for it ever since leaving office in 2011.
The event, held annually on the longest day of the year, is NEC’s primary fundraiser, supporting its Metro Denver and Arkansas Valley Green Homes Tours. The Denver tour is held on the first Saturday in October.
you open. That’s because there is no “return air” with a swamp cooler. It pumps outside air into the house, and you have to provide ways for that air to escape after doing its job of cooling the interior.
If you’re new to Colorado and came here from a locale with high summer humidity (Brooklyn, in my case), you may not be familiar with evaporative cooling. It works in the same way that a rain shower works. As the rain falls, it evaporates, thereby cooling the outside air. In a swamp cooler, a pump circulates a reservoir of water through membranes on the sides of the unit. A squirrel fan draws outside air through those water-soaked membranes, cooling the air by 10 or more degrees and pumps that cooled air into the home. The lower the outdoor humidity and the faster the fan, the more cooling you get.
But that air has to escape and it will travel through your home based on where there’s an open window. Four inches is the prescribed size of windows openings, and you can secure your window so an intruder cannot open it further and perhaps install an alarm.
The downside of the swamp cooler is that it requires occasional service, and if the unit is on the roof, that can be difficult or dangerous. The water in the reservoir, which is replenished constantly by a 1/4-inch supply pipe from inside your home, becomes dirty over time because of the soot that is being removed from the outside air by the water-
soaked membranes through which the air is being pumped. At the end of each cooling season and a couple times during the season, that water needs to be drained, and the membranes rinsed clean or replaced and the reservoir cleaned. At the end of the season, the reservoir and the supply pipe need to be drained to avoid freezing.
A heat-pump system with up to five minsplit wall units can work fine on a 2-story or split-level home. The conduits from the compressor to the wall units just have to run further up the outside of the house. At left is a picture of such a compressor with four wall units, each with its own thermostat. That’s the best thing about such a system. You could have the mini-split in your bedroom set at 70 degrees overnight and the other wall units off or set higher. This is far more efficient than cooling your entire house when you go to bed, whatever system you are using.
Trump Can Replace Fed Chair Next Year — What That Could Mean for Real Estate On my blog, I have a link to an interesting article from Brad at “Briefcase: Real Estate News” about Trump’s pressure on Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell to drastically reduce interest rates or resign.

Englewood police o er tips for a safe Fourth
BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As Independence Day approaches, the Englewood Police Department is urging people to celebrate responsibly and follow safety guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday — both for themselves and their pets.
Allison Stockford, a summer intern with the Englewood Police Department, shared a list of tips and reminders for people who are planning both at-home gatherings and those attending the city’s professional reworks show.
ose planning to celebrate at home should be aware that the use of reworks is strictly prohibited within Englewood city limits. e department emphasized that “in Colorado, most reworks, including anything that shoots into the air or explodes, are illegal for personal use.”
ose celebrating outside of Englewood’s city limits should check what the local ordinances are where they will be and comply
with them.
e department also stressed the importance of exercising caution when using personal reworks.
“Always use proper judgment and discretion when handling personal Fourth of July explosives,” Stockford said.
Stockford wanted to remind the community that there are serious risks associated with illegal reworks.
“Every year, illegal reworks lead to res, injuries and extra strain on emergency crews and rst responders,” she said.
As a safer alternative, Stockford encourages residents to skip personal reworks altogether.
“Choose to enjoy professional shows and encourage others to do the same,” Stockford said.
Englewood’s professional reworks show will once again take place at Cornerstone Park. However, due to ongoing construction, parking at the park will be extremely limited and possibly not available. erefore, attendees are encouraged to carpool,
use rideshare services or bike to the event to reduce congestion.
Additional regulations for the event include no pets except for service animals, no alcohol, no personal reworks and that attendees follow the city’s park general rules and regulations.
Pet safety is another important concern during the holiday, and Stockford said people should think about their animals.
“Keep pets in safe and secure locations,” Stockford said. “Many animals get spooked by loud noises like reworks. Keep them in a spot where they have little risk of escaping.”
Stockford shared several other safety tips:
• Stay alert and aware of surroundings.
• Stick with a group and establish a meeting place in case anyone becomes separated.
• Watch for children, cyclists and pedestrians while driving through the city.
• Use glowsticks, ashlights or re ectors if outside after dark.
• Lock vehicles and secure belongings — or leave them at home altogether.
Cruz and his team immediately began deep-cleaning the kitchen and disposing of spoiled food. He said the restaurant planned to serve during the dinner rush on June 20 and be back to normal business hours June 21. e restaurant’s schedule is Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and it’s closed on Sundays. As for the GoFundMe, Cruz says it will be deactivated soon.
“My rst goal was to get in here, get everything cleaned up, and keep going. But yes, that will be deactivated,” Cruz said. “ e people that donated, that weren’t anonymous — we’re going to thank them personally and do something special for them. And for those who donated anonymously, I hope they come forward because we’d be happy to do something special for them as well.”
Cruz said the reopening is not just a win for him and his family but for the sta and customers as well.
“I’m feeling good, feeling happy and motivated to get back in here and serve

the community again,” he said. “We had a lot of events scheduled that we had to cancel, so we’re happy to come back and be able to serve the community again and get people working.”
With the debt to the city resolved and the business now relying on personal loans, Cruz said everything moving forward will be in his hands.
“Everything’s good with the city. Everything’s good with the state,” Cruz said. “We’re just waiting on our personal loans, but that’s just on mine and that’ll be separate. So that’s di erent.”
Cruz said he appreciates the city’s coop-
eration and the community’s assistance.
“I just want to thank (the city) again for being understanding and helpful with our situation, which I understand came from our own mistakes,” Cruz said. “But it’s something we’re hoping is in the past, and (we’re) staying in good standing with the city.”
City spokesman Chris Harguth said in an email to the Englewood Herald on June 23 that the “city forgave a portion of the associated penalties and interest to help give the owners a fresh start.” For more information on the restaurant visit garibaldimexican.com.
Donna Jean (Summers) Ehlers, born September 19, 1937, in Englewood, Colorado, passed away on June 18, 2025.

Rodz & Bodz car museum going out with a bang
Several events are set before closing date in early August
BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORAOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e Englewood-based museum Rodz & Bods Museum Movie Cars & More is approaching its last month of operation and will host several events for the community before its last day on Aug. 3.
However, owner Zack Lo ert said while these are the museum’s nal days at its current location at 401 Englewood Plaza, he hopes to reopen the museum in about a year in a building he plans to build and own himself.
“I plan to do this one nal time,” Lo ert said. “If I do that with the building I own, I don’t have to worry about them building apartments or anything because I own the building.”
Lo ert said the museum’s nal days are Aug. 2 and 3. He will be hosting a celebration with food and dessert trucks and random giveaways for those who visit Rodz & Bodz.
wins. It can be in-person or online,” Loffert said. “ ere will be 463 items. We’re talking movie cars, trucks, signs, gas pumps, pedal cars, screen-used memorabilia — stu like that.”
Proceeds from the auction will go toward the down payment for the new building.
Rodz and Bodz rst started in 2017.
“We started renting out cars for movies, weddings, commercials — anything you could think of to rent a cool car. at’s what we did,” Lo ert said.
He said he is going back to doing rentals fulltime after the museum closes.
“ e rental business and the prop warehouse business will stay renting as normal,” Lo ert said. “Just the museum being open to the public is what will change.” ere are currently over 80 cars displayed on the oor at the museum, but Lo ert said the overall collection contains over 180 cars.
“I’ve bought vehicles from other collectors, other museums. I go out and source them and nd them every week,” Lo ert said. “I’m looking for vehicles, whether it’s cars, bikes, anything from movies, TV shows – and if we can’t nd it or buy it, we build it.”
Rodz & Bods announced in March that it would be closing its Englewood location due to upcoming redevelopment plans for the property where it’s located.
e property is owned by Kimco Development, which is undergoing redevelopment for a proposed hotel and apartment development that was approved by the Englewood City Council in February.
“We’re going to build an immersive museum experience,” Lo ert said. “When you walk in, you’re essentially walking into movie sets. It’ll literally feel like you’re in Hollywood.”
Because of this new format, many of the museum’s current display items will be auctioned o in a two-day event on Aug. 22 and 23.
“It’s like 99% no reserve — high bidder
Lo ert said out of the 180 vehicles, about 48 of them are cars that were actually used in movies or television shows, and the remaining are replicas he has built himself.
e nal month at the current location will include participation in community events such as the Englewood Cruise Night on July 19, during which the museum will serve as the host site.
Re ecting on the journey and the decision to rebuild, Lo ert cited the overwhelming community support.
“Just seeing people every day visit the museum — it’s something they love and something that the community’s behind,”

Lo ert said. “We see like 900 people a week. It’s something that needs to stay, and we’re going to do everything in our power to make that happen.”
e new location is still being determined, but the goal is to remain nearby.
“We’re trying to stay as close as possible — inside the 470 loop for sure,” Lo ert said. “Right now, the focus is on having an awesome summer and then kicking o the auction. And then it’s full steam ahead to nd a new building.”
As the museum prepares for this next chapter, Lo ert is encouraging fans to visit before the doors close.
“Come out and visit, because this is gonna be the last time this part of the collection with the museum is ever together again as one piece,” they said. “It’ll be awesome to see what it becomes.”

Exercise has value, even when mobility is limited
EWOMEN’S WELLNESS
Stay hungry, stay thirsty
xercise and stretching are crucial for women of all ages, especially as we age. roughout menopause, women naturally lose muscle mass along with a drop in estrogen levels. As we age, we can also lose some of our mobility, making traditional exercises a challenge. ere are a few di erent ways women can exercise, even if limited, to gain strength and better health. With even 30 minutes a week, there can be bene cial results.
Strength Training. roughout menopause, women naturally lose muscle mass along with a drop in estrogen levels. Strength training slows the process of muscle loss during this phase of life. Lifting weights helps build the lost muscle, increase strength and improve balance and mobility. If you are new to strength training, consider going to a class to learn the proper techniques that will help you safely work out. Many of these exercises can be done in a sitting position.
Water Workouts. Swimming, water aerobics and water walking are very bene cial for women who have mobility issues. While you are in the water, your body weight is absorbed, meaning you can walk without the impact and pain on your joints. e added bonus is you get to enjoy the water and reap the bene ts of hydrating your skin.
Recumbent Bikes. Recumbent machines allow women to exercise from a relaxed position compared to other machines. is makes it easier to get on and o the equipment. It is an excellent way to incorporate aerobic activity, which is important for heart health. is allows you to move your legs without putting the impact on your joints or risking a fall.
Pilates and Yoga. Pilates and yoga help strengthen di erent muscles while also improving balance. e various movements help to improve your range of motion. Often women do not move their joints as much as they should, which makes this an easier way to get moving. Chair yoga is another option for women with limited mobility because it focuses on slow and controlled movements with an emphasis on relaxation. Yet, the bene ts can be amazing because the stronger you get through
these exercises, the less you can feel the need to use the chair.
Stretching. Stretching is one of the best practices for women that is often overlooked. When incorporated into a daily routine, it can help improve exibility, reduce pain and improve sleep. e best thing about stretching is it can be done anywhere at any time of the day. Try a few stretches in your bed as you wake up or in the evening to wind down your day. Stretching can also be a perfect work break. It will loosen up your body and refresh your focus.
All of these exercises are good for physical health and mental health. Exercise releases endorphins, which improves your mood, memory and self-esteem while also reducing the feeling of anxiety and depression. Carving out time in your daily routine to do these exercises can improve your quality of life as well. So don’t let limited mobility be an obstacle, there are lots of ways to gain strength, exibility and better health with a few minutes of exercise each week.

WWINNING WORDS
e live in a world where “ask and ye shall receive” has been co-opted by Amazon, Uber Eats, and same-day shipping. e ancient call to persistence has been replaced with a prompt: “Buy now.” We can have food, clothing, furniture, and entertainment delivered faster than we used to be able to get a pizza. But in a world where instant grati cation rules the day, are we quietly losing the hunger and thirst that used to drive us? ink about it: for most of us, if we want something, within reason, we can get it within a few hours. Groceries? Same-day. A new book? On your Kindle in seconds. Need a workout plan? ousands of inuencers will stream one into your living room before your co ee brews. And yet, when everything is easy, urgency tends to fade. Convenience creeps into our ambition. Where we once hungered for excellence, sweated, strained, and hustled, many now watch reels about working out more than they actually work out. We’ve replaced action with consumption, thirst with scrolling. e quieting of the hunter. At one time, most of us were hunters. We pursued dreams, chased goals, and took on challenges with the intensity of someone who knew there was no shortcut, no easy button. Today? We often settle for “good enough” because it’s more comfortable. We binge the podcast on success instead of mapping out a plan to pursue it ourselves. is ease has dulled the edge that once drove us. It’s not that we don’t want more; we just don’t need to ght

Living out a childhood dream
A firsthand account of riding on a fire truck in Littleton parade
BY ISABEL GUZMAN IGUZMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
is is what it must have been like to be Princess Diana, I thought on June 14 as I looked out among the crowd lining Littleton Boulevard. at day, I got the opportunity to sit on top of a vintage re truck during Littleton’s Fire Truck Parade & Muster. From one hand, I snapped photos while the other waved to the crowd like a princess. Starting right at 8:30 a.m., I pulled myself up on the re truck’s bed and sat on a side bar, tucking my feet securely in the truck. I had to step on the water hose, which was oddly soft and rug-like. Ali Guida, a re ghter with the Mile High Hook & Ladder Club, helped me make sure I didn’t hold on to the shiny, silver pole that holds on to the hose. “It’ll spin on you,” she said. Guida got ready to drive the truck and she checked on me, asking if I was good to go. I gave her a thumbs-up. en the truck started. e engine roared and emitted stench exhaust, but it smelled like saving lives and heroism. e truck I was in is a 1965 Seagrave from Pratt, Kansas. Guida adopted it in 2017.
my numbing legs. I wondered if the reghters that operated this truck back in the day had the same problem.
When all the trucks were ready to roll, we slowly made our way down Littleton Boulevard into downtown Littleton — where families lined up the street, many observing from under shady trees. Kids had re ghter hats on and typically did one of three things — stared, waved, or stared and waved.
Each truck turned on their sirens and lights. It was loud at rst, but eventually it became background noise to me.
Dozens of re trucks from Denver, Aurora, South Metro Fire Rescue and many other places lined up to exit the parking lot at Arapahoe Community College. e parade was about to begin. My truck was the fth or sixth in line and I could spot Smokey Bear a few trucks ahead of me. Before we descended down the parade route, the trucks stopped at the staging area on South Delaware Street where I took the opportunity to stand and relieve
Eventually, the caravan of trucks paused. A man — a parade observer — said he had been coming to the parade for 40 years. He said this year was particularly impressive because of the number of participating trucks. He said there were about three times as many trucks this year compared to previous years.
I thought about how many parades I’d been to as a child. I remember wanting to be in the parades. I think the younger me would be smiling ear-to-ear if I knew back then that this day would one day come.
for it anymore. And when the struggle disappears, so often does the spark. ere is an urgency that fuels passion. ere’s a dangerous kind of complacency that hides behind comfort. It’s the kind that confuses manufactured urgency (“I need my package today”) with the deeper urgency that fuels our purpose and passion, the kind that gets us out of bed early and keeps us up late, chasing the best version of ourselves.
When we are truly hungry or thirsty, almost nothing can stand in our way. Real hunger doesn’t wait for conditions to be perfect. It pushes through excuses. Real thirst doesn’t stay on the couch; it gets up and moves toward something greater. is isn’t just about business or tness. It shows up in our relationships, too. Remember when you went the extra mile for someone you were falling in love with? When’s the last time you did that? Has it become easier to skip the date night, to say “we’re good” instead of doing the little things that used to light up your relationship?
Maybe there’s someone in your life who’s thirsty for your attention, your spouse, your child, your team at work, and you’ve stopped noticing. It’s not that you don’t care. It’s just that it’s easier not to act. And easier is the enemy of excellence.
When I coach sales leaders and teams, I
often ask what separates the top 1% from the rest. e words that come up again and again are “hungry and thirsty.” Not the most experienced, not the best educated. Hungry, irsty, Driven. at kind of drive creates a comfortable lead between the top performer and their nearest competitor, and keeps it.
ere is a deeper hunger still. And for many of us, there’s another hunger, the spiritual kind. A thirst that isn’t quenched by comfort, success, or material gain. “As the deer pants for the water, so my soul pants for You, my God.” at hunger and thirst for a deeper relationship with God is not about going through the motions; it’s about pursuit, passion, and presence. Stay hungry. Stay thirsty. Not for the quick win or the same-day delivery. But for the things that truly matter, the goals that stretch you, the relationships that nourish you, and the faith that anchors you. In a world of ease, choose the pursuit. Choose the climb. Choose the passion that only hunger and thirst can bring. Are you still hungry and thirsty, or has complacency and convenience overtaken your desires, goals, and dreams? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can choose commitment over convenience, it really will be a better-than-good life.

KICK UP SOME DIRT AT THE COUNTY FAIRS AND RODEOS
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

And something they all have in common: mutton bustin’ and 4-H showcases.
Mutton bustin’ is a popular rodeo event in which children, typically between the ages of 4 and 7, ride sheep. e goal is to hold on as long as possible.
4-H stands for head, heart, hands and health. It is a national youth development program for children 5 through 18. Whether it’s agriculture, science, civic engagement or health, the program provides real-life experiences.

But, according to the county, the fair dates back even further: 1888. Back then, monthly market days featured horse-and-plow races, as well as cattle being auctioned o .

Cyclist cruises by on coast-to-coast journey
Teddy Bloom rides for free speech, rights
BY ALEX K.W. SCHULTZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
In a time when the country is so divided and many feel the democratic way of life is being threatened in one way or another, 37-year-old Teddy Bloom is going for a bike ride. But not just any bike ride. He’s dubbed it the Ride4Rights, a California-to-Washington, D.C., expedition to raise awareness of and support for four issues he says are vital to the American way of life: freedom of speech, justice, education and unity.
e Santa Fe, New Mexico, native started at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on April 20 and arrived in Denver on June 7. He plans to reach his nal destination, the Washington Monument, on Aug. 14.
He will have covered roughly 3,000 miles on his Kona Libre gravel bike and made 100 or so stops by the time it’s all said and done. is isn’t a left or right issue, the New Mexico Department of Transportation employee said. It’s simply for “people who like living in America and being in a democracy.”
“I do have more left supporters because they’re more against what the current administration is doing, but I do have a fair number of conservative supporters who like the conservative ideas of small government and states’ rights and whatnot,” Bloom said.
On freedom of speech and justice, Bloom said, “You need free

speech to really be able to assess the needs of the people in the country, to know the problems around the country, or what people need for their jobs and work. at’s how lawmakers can make good decisions. Justice, everybody should have due process. at way it’s as fair as possible.”
Bloom said he picked education as one of his riding themes because he believes it’s important for people to understand why certain federal agencies exist and what exactly those workers do.
Lastly, speaking about unity, he said, “It’s the idea that you shouldn’t be doing something just to screw over other people. When you’re trying to make a law or implement a process or something, it should be either because it’s to your bene t or the bene t of other people. In looking at the internet at least, people seem to have lost some interest in that.”
To amplify his work, Bloom created a website, posts regularly on several social media platforms and shares a daily vlog on YouTube.
When he enters a city or town, he also encourages others to ride along with him, if only for a few miles.
And while he’s run into some obstacles along the way — a tweaked hamstring early on, sloppy dirt roads, a hailstorm in Limon — he doesn’t plan on stopping until he reaches the marble obelisk in the nation’s capital.
“I wanted to do something a lot of people could get behind,” Bloom said. “ ese are very basic things for a democracy to function.”

In 2006, Vogt worked with the state legislature to create the Advance Colorado Center, which aims “reverse radical policies that harm Colorado,” according to its website, advance AdvanceColorado.org. Vogt was also a member of the Governor’s Commission on Science and Technology, and served as the governor’s representative on both the Colorado Economic Development Commission and the Financial Review Committee. He spent over a year as the acting secretary of technology and as executive director of the Colorado Department of Local A airs, as well as serving on the Governor’s Homeland Security and All-Hazards Senior Advisory Committee.
Forming Centennial
In the late 1990s, Vogt, along with Brackney, Ed Bosier, Randy Pye and Pete Ross, began discussing forming a new city in
Initially, the district court determined the petition was invalid, then the volunteers corrected the petition and obtained more than 2,500 signatures on the revised petition — the Centennial Petition.
In 2000, voters approved the incorporation of the City of Centennial with 77% of the vote. Centennial was established on Feb. 7, 2001, and Pye was elected as the rst mayor.
During Centennial’s 20th anniversary in 2021, Vogt said: “ e tears and sense of joy and pride, and connection, was palpable. It was the most connected I’ve ever felt to my country. It was the most joyful, patriotic moment.”
The final feat In April 2007, Vogt was selected from a national search to become CEO of the Denver Botanic Gardens.
“Brian was an inspiration,” said Jennifer Riley-Chetwynd,
Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame.
“Brian was an eternal optimist toward everything — individuals and their capability, the Denver Botanic Gardens and its potential and even toward his sickness. He was never going to admit defeat,” Riley-Chetwynd said.
His friends say he left behind multiple legacies of kindness, compassion and positivity.
Re ecting on his 30-year friendship with Vogt, Brackney said he learned maturity from Brian.
“Knowing that the crisis right in front of you is likely not as bad as it appears. Slow down to fully
evaluate best steps and don’t overreact, especially to people that are,” he said.
Brackney said that for those who didn’t have the good fortune to meet Vogt, he was “thoughtful, re ective and wise.”
“He was a one percenter, more likely a point-one percenter, for terri c listening skills and to really understand what people were trying to accomplish by sharing a story with him,” Brackney said.

If yes, then please contact Sarah Lave at: (719)556-6665 or at Sarah.Lave.1@us.af.mil to get more information on participating in the startup of a Restoration Advisory Board, also known as a “RAB”
What is a RAB?
•A RAB is a community group which meets to discuss and receive information on environmental restoration (cleanup) projects at a military base.
What does a RAB do?
•A RAB facilitates and improves communication, outreach, and transparency between the military base, the public, regulators, local governments, and interest groups for issues related to military cleanup activities. RABs offer a structured, focused, and interactive opportunity for community stakeholders to meaningfully participate in the cleanup process. A RAB enables local community members to receive from and exchange information with the base and regulatory agencies managing environmental cleanup projects at PJKS.
•RABs engage in and support DoD’s cleanup efforts by reviewing and commenting on cleanup documents and activities; serving as a liaison to and sharing cleanup information with the community; and providing a forum to exchange information about the schedule, type, and status of cleanup activities. RAB meetings allow RAB members and members of the community to receive updates and ask questions on the status of the environmental cleanup program at PJKS.
•Though RABs are not a decision-making body, they do give local community members the opportunity to have their voices heard and provide a forum to provide valuable community insight to base and regulatory agencies.
Are you interested in participating in PJKS’s RAB?
•PJKS is currently assessing whether there is enough community interest to reestablish a RAB.
•If you are interested in learning more about PJKS’s environmental restoration projects and having the opportunity to give your input to base and regulatory agencies on the management of cleanup projects at PJKS, either as a RAB member or by attending RAB meetings, please contact Sarah Lave at: (719)556-6665 or at Sarah.Lave.1@us.af.mil by July 30, 2025 to indicate interest.

Hyundai, Kia one out of every five stolen cars in state
State patrol shares tips for drivers
BY MONTE WHALEY MONTE@COTLN.ORG
All vehicle owners can bene t by being protective of their cars and trucks, but Hyundai and Kia models are especially vulnerable to theft in Colorado.
e Colorado State Patrol says that Hyundai and Kia represent nearly one out of every ve stolen cars in Colorado. Also, vehicles using a physical key for operation continue to be largely targeted by car thieves across the Denver Metro area, the CSP states in a news release.
e theft of Hyundais and Kias is also linked to organized crime in Colorado and is the focus of the
Colorado Auto eft Prevention Authority — Metropolitan Auto eft Taskforce, the news release states.
“ ese stolen cars are then used to commit other crimes across the Front Range,” the news release states. “From dangerous driving to business burglaries and beyond, preventing auto theft saves more than just a car: it makes our entire state safer.”
e CSP lists several precautions owners can take to keep their vehicles safe and o Colorado’s “Top Ten Most Stolen Cars” list.
ose include locking your car and taking your keys with you. Never leave a running car unattended.
ey also suggest parking in a garage or a secure parking lot when possible, or in an area under constant supervision.
Another tip is to keep your car
clean. ieves hate clean cars and especially clean interiors. Anything left unsecured in a vehicle incentivizes a thief to target your car instead of a clean one.
Owners of a Hyundai or Kia should check with their local manufacturer service center to determine if their vehicle quali es for a security software update.
e State Patrol also suggests drivers of those cars or of any car on the top list should use a steering wheel lock, which is available from many local Police Departments. Drivers should also use technology like a GPS tag or enroll in programs like Denver Track or Metro Track.
Use physical vehicle theft prevention devices, such as parking boots, gear shift/pedal locks, and others, to stop thieves and alarms and immobilizing devices from a trusted installer.
Failure on the part of a claimant to file such statement prior to the final settlement date and time will relieve the City of Englewood from all and any liability of such claim as provided by law.
