It seems like 2022 has literally flown by! It’s hard to believe we’re already into September and the opportunity it brings to experience a number of seasonal changes. From the hot sunny summer, we change into slightly cooler weather and the warm feeling Fall colors bring with the changing leaves. Schedules change as the kids are back to school and constantly busy with after school activities. Football season begins and weekends are busy with favorite team’s game celebrations. While activities ramp up, there is a feeling of a Fall season cloak around us that says Welcome Home! While putting together this issue, there was a realization of many new businesses opening their doors in the Brighton community. We’ve highlighted a number of them throughout the magazine and urge you to stop by and see what’s happening in your community. We’ve also included quite a few local activities that you’ll want to put on your calendar. This Northeastern Metro Denver area is definitely growing! As always, we encourage you to read through the entire issue and use the resources to enhance your month of September. by: Susan Kline

People often forget that our skin is our largest organ and our immune system’s first line of defense. at is why it is so important we work to keep it healthy, especially when suffering with acne. For the most part, acne is an inherited, inflammatory skin condition. When we have acne, our immune system sends white blood cells to the pores to try to fight the infection, causing pus to form inside the pore. e chronic inflammation of the skin is a sign that our immune system is in a constant battle with the P. acnes bacteria, which can not only be painful, but can also cause scarring and damage to the skin. Treating acne can be complicated and expensive, so we wanted to ensure we had the proper education to treat acne as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. With a 90% success rate and an affordable skincare line, we knew Face Reality was the right choice for our spa and clients. Our esthetician, Salena, became a Certified Acne Specialist with Face Reality and is ready to use her knowledge to help you clear and heal your skin from the inside - out, in just 3-6 months. Our acne bootcamp will consist of treating inflammation internally with diet changes and supplements, adjusting lifestyle choices that may be contributing to the exasperation of your acne, and creating a custom in-spa and at-home treatment plan for your skin’s specific needs. Nothing makes us happier than seeing a client’s confidence boost as their skin clears up. We believe everyone deserves to love and feel comfortable in their skin. is isn’t just an external journey, it’s an internal one too. If you’re ready to take the journey with us, to glow from within, book a free consultation with Salena today!

Iwas at a nutrition conference years ago when the presenter was asked a question from one of the doctors in the audience regarding the company’s Omega 3 Fish Oil products. e question was challenging the dosage levels of EPA and DHA stating they were too low. e presenter paused for a moment and then stated what he does know is that God put those specific levels in the Tuna fish and if it’s good enough for the fish then it’s good enough for the person that gets nutrients from the fish. is statement was followed by some laughter, but reinforced the amazing power behind supplements made from whole food sources. ere are thousands of nutritional supplements out there and most, unfortunately, are not high quality or reliable. Many are high potency, synthetic substances isolated in a laboratory somewhere and are only Food Grade. ere is not enough time to research all the different nutritional supplement companies that are out there. Standard Process is the company I have trusted for decades and has been around since 1929. ey are Professional Grade (AKA: Pharmaceutical Grade) which means what you read on the ingredient list is what you are getting versus Food Grade products where the ingredients are listed, but each pill or capsule isn’t exactly the same. For my patients, I choose products I can trust and rely on so that I get predictable results. Being from natural whole food sources the dosages look low, but since it is in its whole food form it is more readily available and absorbable. Vitamins are complexes and not a single ingredient based off what the public has been led to believe. If you are taking supplements, make sure they are Professional Grade, whole food (you will see food listed on the label) and organic if possible. If you have questions, call us at 303-993-6092

Introducing… Luxurious Bath Products With Goats Milk! O ered by:

My name is Nikki Rolando and I’m the owner of Goat Bubbles Bath & Body LLC MNR Goat Bubbles). I’ve been a knitter/crocheter for 15+ years and in 2019 was invited to a ﬁbereista group held at Janie Akerlands home where she raises Alpacas, Cashmere goats and a beautiful Angora rabbit for ﬁber to spin into yarn. One day we had a fun lesson on making goat milk soap. I had so much fun that I went home and made more for myself and even taught my daughter and sister in law how to make it. It went from that to the idea of selling it to friends and family then to the idea of “I could make all sorts of luxurious bath products with goats milk!”Istarted doing my homework on other products and got into making goat milk bath bombs that I call “goat bombs”! and wonderful goat milk body butter. After talking to several people about it, I was asked if I had a website and of course I had to get on that right away haha! I started my website in October of 2019 and after a few years decided I needed a store to carry all my products. Here I am today with a store front. I have some other ladies who have brought in their beautiful items as well that are not made with goats milk, however they’re just as wonderful! Come visit and I hope to see you soon! Goat Bubbles Bath & Body LLC

Home Decor, Furniture, Vintage Items, and Seasonal “Must Haves” to bring joy into your home all year round. ere are a number of new ideas in the works for Heather’s Front Porch. First will be be an extension of the shopping area all the way through the space. Heather is looking forward to creating upcoming art/craft/and paint classes in the months to come. She’s excited about bringing new flare and fun to Downtown Brighton. ere will be a Gift Basket Design Center that will include more basket items ie., baked goods, coffees, cocoas, cookies and much more!

While new builds are all different depending upon the builder, price-point, type of community/development, etc., there ARE standards in new home construction that form the baseline for what’s included, and what is NOT included, when you purchase your home. But beyond that, depending upon the type of home you are purchasing—whether a semi-custom build, or one that is already built—there will be costs over and above the purchase price. The only question is to what extent. Most homes in this price range are going to start with “builder-grade” (lower cost/less desirable) interior options for carpeting, vinyl flooring, paint (often one-color flat paint throughout), cabinetry, countertops, backsplashes, electrical outlets, lighting, and faucets. They may or may not include an appliance package, but if it does, they often don’t include a refrigerator or washer and dryer. In terms of the outside, if a back patio is not part of the actual home structure, then it’s very possible that your home could come with nothing more than a small cement pad at your back door. Whether or not your new build comes with any sort of fencing or landscaping is going to depend upon the type of community and whether those amenities are required by the governing HOA. From that baseline, new construction sometimes offers the ability to upgrade as part of the build—for a cost, but if not, you will be on your own once you’ve closed. The long and short is that even if you are purchasing a new construction home in a community that’s got great marketing and makes it all sound so simple, it’s best to have a realtor in your corner helping you navigate through the process, so you aren’t surprised once the contract is signed. I’ll get into more detail over the next few articles.

For example, a few years before you retire, you may want to reevaluate your risk exposure and consider moving part of your portfolio into a more conservative position. When you were decades away from retiring, you may have felt more comfortable with a more aggressive positioning because you had time to bounce back from any market downturns. But as you near retirement, it may make sense to lower your risk level. And as part of a move toward a more conservative approach, you also may want to evaluate the cash positions in your portfolio. When the market has gone through a decline, as has been the case in 2022, you may not want to tap into your portfolio to meet short-term and emergency needs, so having sufficient cash on hand is important. Keep in mind, though, that having too much cash on the sidelines may affect your ability to reach your long-term goals. Even if you decide to adopt a more conservative investment position before you retire, though, you may still benefit from some growthoriented investments in your portfolio to help you keep ahead of — or at least keep pace with — inflation. As you know, inflation has surged in 2022, but even when it’s relatively mild, it can still significantly erode your purchasing power over time. Changes in your own goals or circumstances may also lead you to modify your investment mix. You might decide to retire earlier or later than you originally planned. You might even change your plans for the type of retirement you want, choosing to work part time for a few years. Your family situation may change — perhaps you have another child for whom you’d like to save and invest for college. Any of these events could lead you to review your portfolio to find new opportunities or to adjust your risk level — or both. You might wonder if you should also consider changing your investment mix in response to external forces, such as higher interest rates or a rise in inflation, as we’ve seen this year. It’s certainly true that these types of events can affect parts of your portfolio, but it may not be advisable to react by shuffling your investment mix. After all, nobody can really predict how long these forces will keep their momentum — it’s quite possible, for instance, that inflation will have subsided noticeably within a year. But more important, you should make investment moves based on the factors we’ve already discussed: your goals, risk tolerance, time horizon and individual circumstances.

This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Edward Jones, Member SIPC

There are no shortcuts to investment success — you need to establish a long-term strategy and stick with it. is means you’ll want to create an investment mix based on your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon — and then regularly review it to ensure it’s still meeting your needs. In fact, investing for the long term doesn’t necessarily mean you should lock your investments in forever. roughout your life, you’ll likely need to make some changes.

O ered by: Tim Roberts - Edward Jones When should you adjust your investment mix?

By reviewing your portfolio regularly, possibly with the assistance of a ﬁnancial professional, you can help ensure your investment mix will always be appropriate for your needs and goals.

Some weeks ago I once again participated in a Youtube video with my daughter for her YouTube channel – “Angela Rose.” I take part in some of her videos simply because I enjoy the time we spend together, but also because maybe someone can benefit from some of the things weItdiscuss.isalways amusing to read the comments a few weeks later. Most of them are positive, but there are always the “haters,” people whose job is to fi nd an issue with something you did, something you said, how you said it, or how you looked while saying it. But my daughter knows, as well as I do, that it comes with the territory. Anyone who does something outside of the norm will encounter the professional critic. is made me think about how many people actually quit or are discouraged from doing something positive, worthwhile or daring because they are afraid of the criticism and ridicule that will inevitably follow. However, I was also reminded of eodore Roosevelt when he talked about the “Man in the Arena.” A reflection on those who dare to “get in the fi ght”, and those whose apparent job is to criticize them when they happen to stumble. I think that this reflection is more important than ever, especially with today’s social media jungle. So much so that I added a framed copy of that speech to both of our Karate schools for our students to read and understand that they will be surely criticized and mocked if they try, and worse, if they fail at something. But it is in participating, in the trying, and even in the failing, that one ultimately succeeds. If you are not criticized, you aren’t doing enough, so embrace the haters, because their arrival signifies that you are moving forward. Keep going.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. e credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,because there is no eﬀort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

If you’re about to turn 65, or you are already 65 or older, you are very familiar with the marketing efforts of various insurance brokers and companies. You will have a flood of mailers targeting you to call or respond in some way to an unknown sender. I have clients who call me regularly because of questions that these mailers and commercials raise. e most common questions I get are about extra benefits and getting money back. I am hoping that in this brief article, I can bring some clarity to these advertisements and hopefully help you feel at ease with your current coverage. If you are on a Medicare Advantage Plan, you have some or all of the extra benefits these commercials are referring to. e Medicare Advantage Plans are famous for providing benefits like dental, hearing, and vision coverage. ey also might add in fitness programs for free gym memberships or in home fitness kits. In addition to these extra services that you don’t get on Medicare alone, some will offer you credits to order over-the-counter items each quarter. If you are not on a Medicare Advantage Plan, you may feel like you’re missing out on all the “free stuff ”. Here is my advice. You should choose a Medicare Insurance plan based on the type of medical coverage you want and not on all the added “fluff ”. If you need to be able to see doctors in two different states and those MDs take Original Medicare, then you might be best served with a Medicare Supplement. And of course there are other situations that would cause a Medicare Supplement to make more sense, like regular medical appointments, treatments, and procedures.

Offered by: Dolan & Associates, P.C. Bill and Jane’s daughter had struggled since the accident. She was only 13 when it happened, but it was clear she would be disabled for the balance of her life. Now 23, she is dependant upon government assistance for her survival and medical care. Bill and Jane thought they did not need estate planning. Why not just put everything in joint tenancy, because “it is simple and may avoid probate.” inking about their disabled daughter, they sought guidance from a counseling-oriented attorney who took time to learn more about them, their estate, and their goals. eir primary objective was to protect their daughter after they died. e attorney worked with them to put together a plan that would place their savings, life insurance and home in a trust for their daughter, following their deaths. is would prevent the assets from disqualifying their daughter from the beneﬁts she is receiving from government programs. As a result, the inheritance can pay for things the government programs do not cover, providing additional comfort to theirEstatedaughter.planning can and should be more than avoiding probate and saving taxes. A properly designed estate plan can provide many additional advantages that protect your family. Most of these protections are ignored in basic estate plans. Individuals should look closely at all of the beneﬁts a properly designed estate plan can provide to them while they are alive, and provide to their spouses and their families after their death. Does your estate plan address these types of issues?

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. Over the years, I have met people with varying opinions on life insurance. Some of the ones that stuck out most include “What do I care, I’ll be dead” or “I can’t afford it.” The truth of the matter is, your loved ones can’t afford NOT to have it! Life insurance isn’t for you; it’s for those you leave behind. If someone relies on your income to make ends meet, what will they do when you are no longer here to contribute?

Work with a Local Broker that has all of the information Why all the TV advertising about Medicare and zip codes and eligibility? Well, all types of Medicare Insurance coverage you can add to your Original Medicare (deﬁned as Part A and Part B) are based on your zip code and county. So, call me, not the TV advertisement, you most likely will speak to someone that is not local and does not know the details about local doctor participation with Medicare. A better choice is to work with a local broker that has all of the information and who will be there for you after you enroll, when you want to ask questions, or if you need billing support.

Safe Sleeping is important for prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID). Safe sleeping involves positioning infants on their backs for sleep and sleeping in their own sleep space with no other people. A crib, bassinet, or portable play yard with a firm, flat mattress and a fitted sheet are best. Infants should not sleep on a couch or armchair or in a seating device (such as a swing or car safety seat except when riding in a car). Loose blankets, pillows, stuffed toys, bumpers, and other soft items should be kept out of the sleep space. Babies who sleep on their backs are much less likely to die suddenly and unexpectedly compared to babies who sleep on their stomachs or on their sides. Even babies with reflux should sleep on their backs. A baby’s gag reflex will provide protection if reflux occurs. What about the difficult sleeper? Talk to your pediatrician about safe sleeping options for the baby who does not prefer backOncesleeping.ababy can roll over onto its stomach, they are old enough to protect their airway. At this age, they should be placed on their back at bedtime, but do not need to be turned back over if they roll on their own. e sleep area should still be free of any objects that could block airflow in any way.

• NEVER meet someone you only know from the Internet in real life (unless a parent says it is OK)

• Anyone can post information online

• NEVER respond to messages that make you feel uncomfortable or hurt your feelings (ignore them and tell an adult about them instead)

It is also important to teach children good Internet behavior, which means not to send mean messages, post information that can make someone look bad, or post other people’s information as their own. Limiting time on the Internet to 1-2 hours a day will also keep it from interfering with other healthy activities, like playing outside or spending time with friends. For more information about Internet safety, you can read the article “The Internet and Your Family” on healthychildren.org Please visit our website at www.brightonpeds.com

Offered by: Dawn Dycus, M.D.- Brighton Pediatrics, P.C. Internet Safety

The Internet can be a wonderful place, filled with endless possibilities for learning and exploration. However, it also contains a lot of inappropriate and unreliable information, making it a place that can also be unsafe for children.

• Online information is usually not private

There are some guidelines that parents can follow to make sure their children stay safe but also have a fun experience on the Internet.

• People online are not always who they say they are

• NEVER give out personal information

It is important to keep the following in mind about the Internet:

This means you cannot trust everything you read on the Internet. People can also unintentionally find material on the Internet that is offensive, pornographic, violent, or Becauseracist.ofthis, it is good to set some rules for your children when using the Internet.

• Damaged or clogged chakras may point to an underlying disease process that needs to be addressed.

BALANCED chakras allow greater access to divine energy, your connection to God, as well as clear thinking, and greater intuition.

September is the month of balance. It is the month of the Autumnal Equinox, when once again, the hours or light are equal to the hours of darkness. e harvest season is beginning to wane, the pumpkins are ripe in the ﬁeld - at least some people’s pumpkins are! Anyway - September is a great time to get your energy body back into balance, as the energies of the earth shift to a balance point, why not be in alignment with those global energies?

Happy 5th Anniversary!

e new category of hearing aids, referred to as Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aids, can now be legally sold by companies and individuals who are not required to have a license to do so, whereas prescription devices can still only be sold by licensed individuals. e only requirements to purchase OTC devices are first, that they are to only be purchased and used by individuals over the age of 18, and second, the individual self-diagnoses themselves with a mild or moderate hearing loss. No hearing test is needed, and a seller cannot require a person to have a valid hearing test in order to sell them the devices. Since the legislation does not change the current process for the majority of individuals who should be wearing hearing aids, it remains to be seen how this legislation will ultimately impact Blue Ribbon Hearing & Tinnitus Center. My opinion is that the new OTC devices will be more akin to the mail order or online devices that are currently sold as PSAPs, or Personal Sound Amplification Products. However, since most people wait until their hearing loss has passed the mild-to-moderate range addressed in the bill, we will continue to test and treat hearing loss as we have in the past. In addition, since a significant number of individuals have a temporary hearing loss caused by a buildup of wax or foreign material, we will continue to examine ear canals and remove wax on a regular basis.

During the past week, everyone has been asking me what the impact on my business will be with the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aid legislation that was just passed and announced, and is set to go into effect later this year. After attending a webinar on the subject, experts who have studied the two hundred page document are still not sure what is going to happen as the legislation is specific on few things and general on most things. e legislation will continue to allow the FDA to regulate prescription hearing aids as is currently does, but adds a new category of hearing aids that can be purchased without a prescription. With prescription hearing aids, before devices can be purchased, an individual must have a complete audiometric evaluation, or hearing test. In addition to determining the hearing thresholds in each ear, this evaluation includes checking for blockages in the ear canal, abnormalities of the outer and middle ear, and other red flags indicating a number of illnesses and diseases. e most important piece of equipment used for testing, an audiometer, is required to be calibrated and certified annually. A licensed audiologist or hearing aid dispenser must divulge any abnormalities or red-flags to the patient so they could seek additional medical or surgical treatment prior to getting hearing aids. A completed hearing evaluation is valid for six months during which time a hearing aid could be purchased using the test and its results. A licensed professional uses the test results along with numerous other specifics related to the patient’s physical ear canal characteristics, physical abilities and lifestyle to make a recommendation as to the best device or devices for the individual. Different styles and levels of hearing aid technology are available to ensure proper coupling of sound and optimal performance. Devices that have more bands for adjusting and fine tuning cost more, and provide for a more accurate fit and better ability to adapt to background noise and varied listening environments. Once purchased (or during a demonstration prior to purchase), hearing aids are programmed using the specifics from the patient’s audiogram to accurately address the hearing loss of the individual. Following the initial fitting, a number of follow-up appointments ensue where fitting and programming adjustments are made to maximize the performance of the device for the patient’s unique situation.

Initially I had intended to focus this article on history of the business and the history of myself, John Wilson, the owner and founder of the company. However, recent events have introduced a very important topic that I have received so many questions about, that I felt it was more important to address that issue instead.

Five years ago, in September of 2017, we opened our office with the goal of providing hearing aids and other hearing related products and services, with the best service and prices, for the best technology available. We are pleased to say it has worked and we are grateful to be able to contribute to our local community, economy and society. As a graduate of Fort Lupton High School, it has been wonderful to help many friends and family members of people I have known from the area for three decades. Being part of the community again after having moved away for college and work has been very fulfi lling. anks to so many of you who read our articles in the Brighton Buzz and have called and visited our office. My family and I thank you, and encourage you to continue to support us as well as those who advertise in the Brighton Buzz. As small business owners, we are extremely appreciative of the loyalty shown to us. It is a pleasure to live and work in the Brighton area, and to be supported by so many citizens of Brighton, Fort Lupton and the surrounding areas.

Mantra #3: I Will Rebalance My Portfolio on a Regular Basis

Mantra #4: I Will Seek Professional Help If I Need It

Money Mantras Market swings causing you some anxiety? These four money mantras can help you overcome it.

Many people consult with an investment advisor for guidance regarding their retirement plan investments. Lloyd Worth is happy to help you determine an appropriate investment strategy to achieve your ﬁnancial goals that is based on your risk tolerance and time frame. He can be reached at (303) 558-0214.

A simpler way to understand diversification is to look at the food you put on your plate. e more food groups and colors on your plate, the more nutrients your body consumes and the healthier you are. If, however, you only ate pizza every day, your body would suffer from a lack of key nutrients. e same is true for an investment portfolio’s diversification. Investors who put their money in only one type of asset (such as stocks) are at an increased risk for loss of principal due to a lack of variety in their portfolio.

individual.

An old saying goes, “saving for retirement is a journey, not a sprint.” A volatile market can push the most experienced investors into making emotional decisions. However, it’s never a good idea to change your investments simply because of day-to-day volatility. Set a strategy that’s right for you and stick with it. Having a diversified portfolio can help you build confidence in your longterm plan — so don’t just throw it out the window during big market swings! Historically, equity markets have trended upward over the long term. However, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investing involves risk, so you may want to consider working with a financial professional who can help you review your current tolerance for risk, keeping in mind your other financial goals.

Whether it’s the continuing presence of the COVID-19 pandemic, a sudden boost in prices related to gas, food, housing and other essentials, supply chain hiccups, an uncertain labor market (or any number of other things), the stock market has certainly seen its share of ups and downs over the past six months. As always, it’s impossible to predict what the market will do on any given day. But at the start of a new year, it’s always a good idea to take some deep, measured breaths and focus on some basic money mantras. Doing so will help you push through any anxiety you may be feeling regarding your retirement account (no yoga pose required).

Over time, market changes can lead to shifts in your portfolio’s asset allocation. For example, you may have started with a 75/25 stock fund-to-bond fund split, but changes in the market caused stocks to now account for 85% of your portfolio’s value. at’s why it’s important to periodically check your asset allocation to see if it aligns with your current strategy and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, you may also want to rebalance to a more aggressive or conservative allocation should your tolerance for risk change due to where you are in life or how close you are to retirement.

If you’ve been discouraged about buying a home because the housing market is too competitive, you’ll like the latest 2022 forecast update from Realtor.com. Inflation, higher home prices, and higher mortgage rates are impacting affordability, which caused many homebuyers to move to the sidelines. In April 2022, existing home sales dropped 2.4% from March, and 5.9% year-over-year, partly due to mortgage interest rates crossing 5% for the first time in decades. Meanwhile, home prices in April rose 14.8%. Home sellers are responding by putting more homes on the market in an effort to cash in before prices possibly begin to fall. Active listings, or homes listed for sale, are anticipated to grow 15% year-over-year in the second half of 2022. Home builders are stepping up production, too by about 5%, so buyers will have more inventory to choose from. Home sellers will have to become more competitive, which will invite wait-andsee homebuyers back into the market. Housing sales volume for 2022 should be the second highest in 15 years, even though a decline of 6.7% from 2021 is anticipated. With the unemployment rate near 50-year lows, wage growth should rise 3.8%, and flexibility to work remotely, even out of state, will continue. First quarter data showed that 40.5% of Realtor.com® home shoppers viewed listings located outside of their current state, up from 33.4% in 2020. at said, affordability will remain an issue for many homebuyers as home sales prices rise 6.6% and mortgage rates reach 5.5% by the end of the year. Whether you’re looking for your first home, forever home, or somewhere in between, ask your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Real Estate professional about our expanded home buying options. Our Guarantee Offer program can help turn your rental payment into a down payment, become a cash offer buyer, and even help you compare all your mortgage financing options, giving you the confidence you are receiving the best possible rate and terms.
