Letter From The Editor

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU!

Offered by: Susan Kline The Brighton Buzz

As

we put the finishing touches on 2022, December offers a month to look back at a year that seems to have jettisoned by at a rapid pace.

It’s a perfect time to reflect on all of our favorite times and make peace with those that weren’t as good. The blessing in our Holiday celebrations is the ability to spend time with friends and family enjoying good company, excellent food, and the joy that giving and receiving gifts brings.

Those memories bring an incredible warmth that’s undeniable. They’re somewhat like putting a bow on all 2022 moments and preparing us for another year to come.

Our December issue is filled with a variety of ways our advertisers have provided to make your Holiday Season bright! There are ideas for shopping, dining, and resources for all aspects of your lives. Pay special attention to our Downtown Business Directory on pages 23-25. We encourage all our readers to Shop Local This Holiday Season in order to support our local businesses and our communities.

From All of Us at the Brighton Buzz....

We’re Wishing You Happy Holidays!

Showing Gratitude During the Holidays Offered by: Dr. Eric Anderson DC and Heidi Anderson Brighton Clinic of Chiropractic

T

he holidays can be full of so much indulgence. We indulge our families and often indulge ourselves! The holidays are also full of many “I wants.” We hear it from our kids and it’s magnified by the constant media messages that portray the newest gadget that we must have. One of the ways that we find some fulfillment, and often true joy, is through focusing on what we already have and what we are grateful for. Our favorite way to do this is through snail mail Thank-You cards and notes. Have you written a Thank You note recently? Do you have a mental list of people that you have been meaning to send a note to? Here’s a few suggestions of how we make Thank Yous work for us: • Have a supply of Thank You notes or cards handy at all times. Buy some on Amazon or the store and keep them readily available.

• Have stamps available and ready near your Thank You supply.

• In the note tab of your phone, record names, thoughts and impressions as they come to you. You will be so glad you have recorded their names as to not miss anyone.

• Keep addresses in your phone of businesses or people that you know you will want to mail a note or something special to.

• Repeat bi-weekly or monthly and put it in your calendar with a reminder.

As you express gratitude this season, we know you will feel the love of what the season is really about. Good luck in your gratitude adventure and Merry Christmas to each of you!

Tidings of Joy and Good Cheer!

Offered by: Jan Hepp-Struck, Hepp Realty

As

we greet the close of 2022, I can’t help but remark on the fact that this era of 2020s thus far has felt a bit like what I imagine being the ball in a classic pinball machine might feel like—ricocheting from one challenge and experience to the next.

It also reminds me of the importance of focusing on the good things— collecting the experience points of the game if you will—because even with the challenges, there are so many good things. 2022 has been an incredibly memorable and impactful year for me, both professionally and personally.

Being recognized as a Five Star Legend in the October/November edition of Forbes Magazine was, of course, an incredible highlight in my career. It’s an experience I will cherish always, not only because of the prestige of that level of recognition, but more because it represents the decades and hundreds of clients who’s lives I’ve positively impacted over those years. I’m humbled and honored by the trust and confidence of all those who have entrusted me to help bring their dreams and goals to reality. “Thank you” barely scratches the surface of fully expressing my gratitude!

Personally, 2022 has been a year of new exploration and reveling in creativity and nature. With travel opportunities opening back up I have thoroughly enjoyed adventures to some of the most beautiful state and national park areas.

Being able to share my experiences and the beauty of these national treasures through my photography is icing on the proverbial cake. But more than that, it’s a reminder of how truly blessed I am. I will close this month by wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a bright holiday season filled with an abundance of joy!

An Exciting Announcement About Early Education Options!

Offered by: Tobbi Monroe, Hills Academy Director

E

xploring early education options for your little one’s early years can be a challenging, stressful, and overwhelming process for families. There are many important pieces to consider when making a decision about their early learning years such as class size, curriculum, staff, location, and cost, just to list a few. Knowing that this decision and the need for early childhood education are such a prominent need and focus in our community, I am excited to announce the launch of Hills Academy in January 2023!!

Hills Academy is a ministry of Northern Hills Church which is located on Highway 7 in Brighton. Our vision at Hills Academy is to provide a Faith-based educational environment where your child can explore, imagine, learn, and grow into the beautifully and wonderfully made person God has made them to be.

For our January launch we will be offering a 3 year old class on Tuesdays and Thursday and a 4 year old class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with both half day and full day options. I encourage you to visit our website at, https://hills.academy/ , to check out all the wonderful things that we have coming, to learn more about enrollment, and to schedule a tour.

I am very excited to see all the amazing plans that God has in store for Hills Academy and cannot wait to meet you and your family!

Annual Election Period Is Here!

Do You Know What To Do?

What That Means?

My passion is helping people understand Medicare.

My Child Won’t Listen…to Me… Offered by: Colorado Karate Club

S

ome years ago my daughter and I were training to compete at the US National Karate Championships. My daughter was in her teens while I was approaching the sunset of my competition days. By this time, I had been competing successfully for decades, getting to be part of the Peruvian National Karate Team, and many years later, also part of the USA National Karate Team.

For some reason, I thought that I knew what I was talking about when I was coaching my daughter. But, did I mention that she was a teenager?

Right, every time I gave her direction, I got an eye roll, some huffing and puffing, and my directions were mostly ignored. I wanted to say “Hey, I know what I’m doing, why are you fighting me on everything I say?”

But I knew better, I knew that taking that route would get me nowhere.

Instead, I asked another instructor whom she held in high esteem to act as my “translator”. Without my daughter’s knowledge, I told him to coach my daughter by simply relating my instructions to her. Amazingly, she now welcomed the feedback, she listened and happily applied my coaching… as long as it was not coming from “dad”.

I often tell this story to parents that come to me asking why their children listen to “Sensei” (me), but not to them, even though we are all saying the same thing. So I tell them not to take it personally, many children simply need to hear the message from a third party to actually be received. When children, youth, or even adults find a good role model (aside from their parents), someone they can trust, we are much more receptive to listening and learning from them.

Try this technique when you encounter resistance from your child.

Enroll a third party, someone the child looks up to, to relate the information and see magic happen. It is said that it takes a village to raise a child, I just think it takes committed parents and good role models who will help you along the way.

Medicare Advantage OEP Begins Jan. 1 – What You Should Know Offered by:

H

appy Holidays!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I love this time of year. It’s my favorite!

Now that the Annual Election Period is over (or almost over ending Dec. 7), you should be in a plan that will suite your needs for 2023.

So now what??

If you are in a Medicare Advantage plan, you are in a calendar year contract.

There is one enrollment period that you may not be aware of though, the Open Enrollment Period (OEP). This is from Jan. 1 - Mar. 31 each year. This OEP applies to folks who are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan on January 1.

If you have joined a plan and then discover that your MD is not in network or your medications aren’t covered as predicted, you can make a one time plan change during the OEP. This is not a period of time that can be Marketed to you by your agent, however it is there for you to use if needed.

This OEP is also for folks who missed their Initial Enrollment Period for Medicare and still need to add Part B. If you haven’t enrolled in Part B and you no longer have Employer Health coverage through active employment, then you can apply to add Part B the first quarter of the year. Social Security will delay the start of Part B until July 1.

This is the only time you can add Part B each year so be sure to take advantage of it. Remember, retiree coverage is not credible coverage for Part B so if you are on a Retiree Benefit and don’t have Part B, you will need to add it during the OEP. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I’m just a phone call away: 720-626-6524

The Joys of December Offered by: Melissa Rippy - Rippy Insurance Agency / Allstate

D

Leave a legacy of love.

We never outgrow protecting them, no matter how big our kids get. Let me help you protect those you love most, with life insurance you can afford now.

Call me today.

The Rippy Agency 303-219-1470

melissarippy@allstate.com allstate.com/melissarippy

Rippy Agency

Have any other coverage needs? Call anytime!

ecember is a time when we reflect on the past year and review the good, the bad and the challenges in which we can grow from. It’s also a good reminder to review your insurance policy and ensure that your replacement cost is adequate to rebuild your home in the event of a total loss.

We recommend reviewing the home policy at least once a year but more if there are any construction changes that would affect the value. Contact the Rippy Agency by phone or text at 303.219.1470 to schedule a complimentary insurance review.

In the month of December, we also think of children and the sheer joy they have on their faces during the holiday seasons.

It’s a magical time, filled with wishes and dreams of children. Two of the children on our Angel Tree have asked for a belt as a wish item. You read that right; a belt. We have 28 children total on our tree this year. If you’d like to fulfill their holiday wishes, please stop by 220 Pavilions Place Unit D, Monday through Friday from 8:30 – 5:30 to read the wishes and select the child or family in which you’d like to adopt.

We’ll be taking Elsie the Little Free Mobile Library to two events in December – one with CASA and another with Almost Home. The families served by these organizations will be receiving gifts donated for the holiday and will also be picking out books they get to keep from Elsie, our 1966 Vintage Trailer that was converted to a Little Free Library. If you’d like for Elsie to visit your school or neighborhood, please email melissarippy@ allstate.com.

Happy New Year and be safe!

Protect Your Family!

Offered by: Michael A. Dolan

E

Avoid Probate

state planning is more than avoiding probate and saving taxes. A properly designed estate plan can provide so much more to protect your family. Most of these protections are ignored in cookie-cutter, form-driven estate plans. For example….

Mary and Bill were good parents, and their son John turned out to be a great person but a poor money manager. John grew up, got married, completed college, and had a good job. But John spent every dime he earned, often before he ever earned it. John had to have the latest things, and thought using a credit card to get them was a better approach than saving for them. If John got a dollar, he spent two.

Bill and Mary sought legal advice before their deaths. The first lawyer they spoke with said they did not need estate planning because their estate was less than the estate tax exemption. She told them to designate John as the beneficiary on all the assets, because “it is simple and avoids probate.”

They weren’t comfortable with that advice and sought advice from a counseling-oriented attorney who took the time to learn more about them, their estate, and their goals.

Their primary objective was to protect John from squandering his inheritance after their deaths. Therefore, Bill and Mary left their assets in trust for John, not directly to him. As a result, John could not spend his inheritance unwisely. They designed a system to help John learn how to properly manage his inheritance so it could support him for the rest of his life.

Bill and Mary had sometimes wondered if the planning they did was worth the extra time and effort. Clearly it was.

Are you or someone you know suffering from Long COVID symptoms?

Offered by: Jeff Toups CRNA, NSPM-C | Pain Specialists of Brighton

A

fter recovering from COVID-19, a significant portion of symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals develop what has come to be known as “Long COVID”.

Symptoms of Long COVID may include fatigue, brain fog, not feeling yourself, asnomia and/or ageusia - a diminished or complete loss of smell or taste respectively, or worse – your sense of taste or smell has gone rancid! You may have Long COVID if these symptoms seem to last long after you have tested negative for COVID-19.

Fortunately, the team at Pain Specialists of Brighton may be able to help!

Trials have been conducted using a stellate ganglion block (SGB) that have improved, and in some cases even reverse, symptoms of Long COVID. SGB is an injection of a local anesthetic into the stellate ganglion, a nerve bundle in the neck connected to the fight or flight system. The injection interacts with the sympathetic nervous system to help restore normal biological function. SGB injections have been used for years to help treat and manage PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, and sleep disorders. This procedure is minimally invasive, often takes less than 20 minutes, and can be performed right here in our office in Brighton!

Call Pain Specialists of Brighton today to discuss if SGB can help you feel like you again.

RSV Season Offered by: Abby Hughes, MD FAAP- Brighton Pediatrics, P.C.

RSV has been all over the news lately since Children’s Hospitals are currently flooded with RSV patients. Most children get RSV at least once before they turn 2 years old. RSV generally presents as a cold and lasts 5-7 days. As with any cold, the most important role for a parent is supportive care for their child. This includes fluids and frequent feeding, saline drops in the nostril and suctioning frequently (as often as every 2 hours as needed), humidifier, holding the child in the bathroom with the steam from a hot shower, and acetaminophen as needed for fever (you can give ibuprofen if your child is older than six months). If your child is over one year old and coughing, honey is recommended.

In some children, especially between day 3-5 of illness, they can develop difficulty breathing. In this circumstance, they may need hospitalization.

Symptoms for which you should seek immediate care for your child include: fast or short breaths, grunting, chest caving in with breaths, notches above or below their ribcage, skin turning blue or purple, symptoms of dehydration (fewer than one wet diaper every 8 hours), and significantly decreased alertness and activity levels.

Infants at highest risk for RSV include those 12 weeks old and younger at the time of illness, premature and low birth weight infants (especially those born before 29 weeks of gestation), chronic lung disease of prematurity, and heart defects. We recommend parents, especially with at-risk infants, to try to keep your child away from anyone sick, clean surfaces that anyone sick has touched over the past 6 hours, and frequently wash your hands.

At Brighton Pediatrics we are happy to answer any questions. Please call or make an appointment for your child if you have any concerns.

Wishing you a Happy and Healthy holiday season!

Medicare Enrollment Offered by: Integrity Insurance - Lisa Asmussen

A

fter working and paying into Medicare, most people are entitled at age 65 to Part A at no cost. This is because you or your spouse already paid the Medicare tax(10 years) when you were working. (This is part of the FICA deduction on your paycheck.) If you did not previously work or did not work long enough, you can still get Part A but you may have to pay a premium. Or if you are very low income perhaps you qualify for the state to assist with Part A. I can help with this process, the next opportunity to begin Part A requests opens in January.

Medicare rules for signing up can be difficult to understand. It is important to determine your eligibility and enrollment periods, so you can take advantage of the Medicare benefits you’ve earned. Even if you are continuing to work and have employer group health insurance don’t overlook the need to understand your coverage options and enrollment periods.

Planning 6 months ahead of your 65th birthday, is not too early to plan.

Avoid the penalties that can result from late or delayed enrollment!

Being informed about how your group coverage works once you attain Medicare age and knowing what to expect as you transition from group health coverage to Medicare will give you peace of mind.

You will not be automatically enrolled in Medicare at age 65 unless you are already collecting Social Security. I can share the enrollment steps and what to expect. Your situation is unique, you need personalized assistance based on your current coverage and plans for the future.

Lisa Asmussen is a licensed certified Medicare Insurance Broker, local in Brighton.

Lisa Asmussen 303-887-8584 • Lainsureco@gmail.com We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.

Community Living

Get Ready to Buy a Home in 2023 Offered by: Scott and Lora Nordby, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Real Estate

I

nflation, home prices, and interest rates were higher in 2022 than they’ve been in years, but if you’re planning to become a homeowner in 2023, you’ve got time to improve your buying power.

TheMortgageReports.com recommends talking to a mortgage lender, even if you aren’t ready to buy until later in the year. They can “review all aspects of your financial picture” and help you find sources for a down payment, help you raise your credit score to improve your future borrowing rate, and help you find ways to reduce your existing debt without triggering costly inquiries into your credit history. Most important, they can help you understand the differences between conventional (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) and governmentguaranteed (FHA, VA, USDA) loan programs and help you choose the right loan so you can work toward qualifying for the most favorable terms.

Your goal for the near term is to save as much as possible toward a down payment. With VA or USDA loans, no down payment is required, but for other loans, you’ll need at least 3.5% of the purchase price of the home you plan to buy as a down payment. At the same time, you want to pay down debts, beginning with the least expensive credit card balances to improve your credit scores. Don’t close any accounts or incur new debt. Keep your revolving loan balances to 30% or below your credit limits. The higher your credit score, the more loan options are available to you.

Your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Real Estate Forever Agent can connect you with a mortgage lender and help you take the first step in becoming a homeowner. Visit BHHScore.com or call us at 303-9058850 to talk with someone who is knowledgeable about real estate in your neighborhood.
