Last chance this year to make a di erence

Iwould bet that everyone likes to help others, and no one likes to pay taxes. Well now is your chance to do both. ere are only a few more days left to leave an impact of those in need and reduce your income tax liability for 2022.

Picking out your favorite charity is the easy part. Now you get to determine how best to bene t from choosing the right amount, asset and process.

In a perfect world, we would donate regardless of a tax deduction, but it may also be helpful to be aware of what savings you can create as a result of your philanthropy.

First, identify what type of donation is best for you. e charity will bene t regardless of whether you donate cash, stocks, mutual funds, or a car. e charity can turn anything into cash tax free. erefore, if you have an appreciated asset, such as shares of a stock or mutual fund, it is best to donate the shares rather than sell rst. is way you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the investment. e charity does not have to pay capital gains tax. Next, determine whether you are eligible to take a tax deduction for your donation. If you can itemize, perhaps due to high medical expenses, mortgage interest and property tax, then your charitable deduction can be added to your itemized deductions. Unfortunately, the $300 per person deduction without itemizing ended in 2021 and is no longer available.

If you don’t exceed the standard deduction, then work with your advisor to consider bunching deductions. is is where you double up on charitable gifts in one year and then take a year o donating and use the standard deduction in those alternate years. e standard deduction for 2022 is $12,950 for single lers ($13,850 in 2023) and $25,900 for joint lers ($27,700 in 2023). If you can’t exceed these amounts on your Schedule A, you will need to beef up your charitable contributions in certain years in order to itemize.

You may also consider contributing to a donor-advised fund (DAF), where you can contribute appreciated shares of a business or investment without paying tax on the gain. Once this asset resides in the DAF, you have the rest of your life to distribute to your favorite charities as you wish. erefore, if you have a large asset you would like to donate and take the deduction all in one year, this strategy could be a good t for you.

Retirees over age 70 1/2 are eligible to take up to $100,000 out of their pre-tax retirement plan or IRA and gift directly to a charity through a quali ed charitable distribution (QCD) and still not have to itemize. ere may be other year-end strategies you can bene t from, such as tax-loss harvesting, maximizing your retirement contributions, or converting some of your pre-tax IRA or 401(k) to a Roth. Consider meeting with your advisor early in 2023 to start planning for next year as well.

Behind every door is opportunity for change

Last week I was speaking with the CEO of one of our customers and he shared with me that although he has been in his role for almost two years, he feels like every door he opens presents itself with an opportunity for improvement. And although he was referring to the areas of his business, it made we wonder if the rest of us maybe looked for doors to open where we could also make improvements personally or professionally.

This time of year, I have often written about goal setting and goal achievement in the past as New Year’s Eve in all its New Year’s resolution splendor calls for us to think about what we may want to change, do differently, do better, or improve. Some take this time very seriously and have a well thought out and balanced plan for how they are going to enter the year, start strong and finish even stronger. Others take a more casual approach, maybe even waiting right up unto the clock strikes midnight before declaring their resolution.

And then there are those of us who simply do not believe in the nonsense of New Year’s resolutions — if we are going to make changes and improvements, we just get it done on our time and when we are good and ready. Let’s revisit what my customer shared about opening doors and finding opportunities to improve. What would it look like if we put some intentionality behind this year’s game plan for our lives, goal setting, or business planning? Looking at all doors, every area of our personal and professional life, to identify areas that if we made some level of improvement, that it would bring us greater joy, success, wealth, vitality, or help to get us in better shape physically, mentally, or spiritually.

Maybe we start by looking to open those doors that we haven’t opened in a long time. As a matter of fact, these doors have remained locked for so long that we must give them a firm tug to pry them open. These are those doors to opportunities that we have always known we should have opened long ago, but we made the decision to focus on those other areas of our lives to make changes to instead. Or our desire to change gave way to laziness, and then laziness gave way to procrastination, and procrastination eventually led to defeat.

Next, we can start with those doors of opportunities for change that we opened last year, last month, last week, or even yesterday and then for whatever reason we closed them. We had an inspiring or motivating moment, we opened the door, saw an area of life or work that we wanted to improve, and we may have even started before closing the door again. These are the easiest doors to open and re-explore as they once had our attention and intention to want to change. Something we wanted to start doing or maybe even something we wanted to stop doing, and those feelings are probably still in our hearts and top of mind.

The first doors were those hard ones, the second doors were the easy ones, and now here are the most intriguing doors. These are the doors of opportunity we have yet to think about. Behind these doors lie untapped potential, new and creative ideas, bold steps, and big goals. By opening these doors, we become energized with new direction, inspired by what we see, and motivated by what we might become along the route of this journey.

Are there doors that are rusted shut, needing to be pried open? Are there doors that could be opened quite easily getting you back on track? Are there doors waiting for you to open, those doors of opportunity that could lead you to bigger and brighter goals and change? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can place intentionality behind seeking opportunity behind all these doors, it really will be a better than good life.

Devices are located along 16th Street Mall

BY JEREMY MOORE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

A bank of four red vending machines near the 16th Street Mall invites pedestrians to buy a winter coat, art supplies, lumber or a tower of lettuce for someone who needs help. ose gifts are just a few of the many practical items shown on cards inside the vending machines that have taken the place of more familiar choices like snacks or drinks. e transaction is also familiar: each item has a number to be entered on a touchscreen. e donor swipes a credit card or uses mobile pay, and the item falls to the bottom. e di erence is the cards pile up and are not immediately removed. e machines keep a running total of all purchases with the money going directly to each charity.

“ e idea is to create a link between the giver and the recipient,” said Amy Johnson, who is on the organizing committee for Giving Machines sponsored by e Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “And giving a tangible item, knowing exactly what you’re giving, is what creates that emotional link.” e machines have returned to Denver’s Writer Square (at the corner of Larimer and 15th Street) each November since 2019. ey are part of the Church’s annual Light the World holiday initiative. e rst machines appeared in Salt Lake City in 2017. is year, the machines can be found in 28 locations around the world.

“ e idea is to give as Jesus gave, one person at a time,” Johnson explained. “And so, the team was trying to come up with a simple, familiar way to give in a transactional way. So, they thought, what’s easier than a vending machine?”

In Denver, this year’s machines bene t eight charities, three of which operate globally: • A Precious Child assists children and families facing di cult life challenges such as abuse and neglect, crisis situations and poverty. • Doctors Care is dedicated to improving health access for low-income individuals in the South Metro Denver area. • Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver builds strength, stability and self-reliance through a ordable housing. • Metro Caring provides nutritious food while addressing the root causes of hunger.

• Village Exchange Center serves immigrants and refugees through community connection. • iDE Global creates livelihood opportunities for poor rural households. • Mentors International transforms generational poverty into sustainable self-reliance. • Water for People makes highquality drinking water and sanitation accessible to all.

Each charity has identi ed the things people need most, resulting in 30 items ranging from ducks to diapers, gardening tools to groceries, lettuce to lumber. Prices range from $3 (soap for one school) to $250 (community garden). Donors can purchase multiple items in a single transaction up to $3,000.

“ e best stories are when the kids come with their allowance and choose an item for $5 or $10,” Johnson said. “It’s an unusual, unique way to help children, for example, learn to give.” e Church covers all the costs of the machines and credit card fees. So, none of the money donated goes to overhead.

“My favorite stories are the people who come who’ve bene ted from these charities in the past,” Johnson said. “Now they have a little bit of money and they can give back.”

Donations are eligible for tax deductions and may also be eligible for employer matching programs. Receipts are available by text or email.

Denver’s Giving Machines operate 24/7, anksgiving through New Year’s Day. Volunteers are typically near the machines daily from noon to 8 p.m.

Giving Machines return to Denver’s Writer Square at the corner of Larimer

STEELE

William Steele

October 26, 1931 - December 12, 2022

William Matthes Steele was born October 26, 1931, and died December 12, 2022. He was raised in Idaho by a tight- sted father and a loving, warm mother. We gure someone did something right (most likely his mother) because William grew up to be a man who loved unconditionally, forgave easily, and loved heartily. Bill, as he was known to most everyone, became a pilot for Continental Airlines and traveled the world where he learned countless shortcuts to almost everywhere. e straight road was never taken because that left turn meant he could most likely miss a few stop signs or at least a school zone. An avid golfer, he let his children and grandchildren drive the carts and drink unlimited amounts of soda. He single-handedly supported the supply chain for Dr. Pepper in the state of Texas for the last half of the previous century until his healthcare providers begged him to stop. He was a handsome, tall man and Bill found lasting love with Anne Steele in 1978. Bill’s children from his rst marriage, George Steele, Robert Steele, and Lisa Leeser were in attendance along with Anne’s children Daphne Lowe and Jane Steele. eir marriage was full of ne friends, fabulous dinners, and amazing adventures for 44 years. He leaves us with 6 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He also dearly loved his ex-son-in-law Oscar Leeser and his other son-in-law Michael Heitz was also sometimes liked. Bill loved football, favoring the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. He read the paper every morning in bed and watched the news every night. If he couldn’t watch PBS’s News Hour it was a bad day. But no one ever knew when Bill had bad days. He rarely, if ever complained, instead adopting trademark phrases like, “ e alternative is much worse” or “Well there you go” which many of his family found frustrating, but indeed he was frustratingly always right. If advice from Bill was given, 98% of the time it was correct. William Steele walked tall, golfed fairly, and cared immensely. He cared about children, the environment, his family, the democratic party, his car, his beloved Kindle (thanks Amazon), growing and eating fresh tomatoes and most importantly, fairness. at simple concept was really how he lived his life to the fullest. If someone failed or disappointed him, he didn’t berate them or belittle them. A celebration of his life will be held at 11:00 am, ursday, December 22 at Sunset Funeral Homes West. 480 North Resler, El Paso, TX. In lieu of owers, the family asks that a donation be made in his honor to PBS El Paso…and Bill would like to ask PBS to stop the damned pledge drives, please.

Loveland Ski Area partnered with the Chris Anthony Youth Initiative Project to get fi fth-graders onto the ski slopes

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coloradans can always look to the west and see the mountains in the distance, but for some who live in the inner cities of Colorado, actually getting to the mountains can be a bigger task. irty- ve fth-graders hit the slopes in Loveland for the rst time on Dec. 13, some even experiencing the mountains for the rst time.

Students from Laredo Elementary School in Aurora came to Loveland Ski Area to ski with professional skier and Snow Sports Hall of Fame inductee Chris Anthony.

Anthony has been working with kids for many years and has hosted his youth program at Loveland for the past three. e Chris Anthony Youth Initiative Project works to improve the lives of kids through educational enrichment. One of the ways the foundation does this is by busing classes of fth-graders out to Loveland ski area to spend a day learning to ski.

Anthony’s foundation pays for the bus, winter clothes, ski rentals and passes for the children to come experience the slopes. Most kids who come have never skied, and some have never spent time in the mountains despite living in Colorado.

Peter Zola is the teacher for the fth-graders at Laredo Elementary School.

“Every year we have at least two or three kids who have spent most of their life out on the plains in sight of the mountains but never in the mountains,” Zola said.

Zola has been taking his class to ski for eight years and said he always sees great behavior out of his students during this trip. He attributes that success to the active learning the kids get to see and experience on the mountain.

Anthony sees kids get o the bus with a wide range of emotions, from excitement to nervousness for the day. After a day on the slopes, he sees a common thread between all of them.

“No matter what, at the end of the day, all of them, you can see a bright light ignited in the process,” Anthony said.

Some of the kids were star-struck upon seeing Anthony, one even asking the hall of famer to sign his lunchbox.

After donning their coats and dancing out the morning jitters, the fth-graders were ready to go get tted for skis. irty- ve fth-graders getting tted for boots, skis and helmets all at the same time was a bit chaotic, but the sta ers at Loveland have done this before. e kids buzzed with excitement and quickly learned about the cumbersome feeling of ski boots.

headed out to the snow with the instructors. ey learned how to put on their skis and quickly learned how to get up after they inevitably fell down.

Dan Huston is the director of the ski and ride school at Loveland. He said one of the biggest barriers for people being able to ski is location/ transportation.

“ e mountains and ski areas usually aren’t very close to urban population centers. We’re unique in that we are 56 miles from Denver,” he said.

After working with the program for a few years, Huston knows the impact it has on kids.

“ ey’re gonna remember this for the rest of their lives,” he said.

Mailene Hernandez, one of the fth-graders on the trip, had a lot to say about the day. She said the bus ride to the ski area was full of mixed emotions, but mostly excitement.

“It was a little bit chaotic, but it was good,” Hernandez said. “I was kinda feeling excited and nervous at the same time.”

Hernandez took to the sport easily and said the process of getting into her skis was pretty natural.

“While I was putting them on I guess I felt a little wobbly, but it was pretty easy,” she said.

Hernandez also had some advice for other kids who might be learning to ski for the rst time.

“It’s really a fun experience, but I do recommend having some ski clothes because of how cold it is, and because you’re going to fall,” she said.

She also went on to say how much of a blessing Chris Anthony was to her class and how happy she was that they even got the opportunity to come.

After lunch, the kids got their skis back on and some of them graduated from the Magic Carpet over to the ski lift. Skiing down the hill was a good opportunity to work on turns and pizza wedges for the fthgraders.

Anthony himself skied along with the kids throughout the day, helping to pick them up when they fell. His presence made the day even more exciting for the kids, with high- ves all around.

Hernandez and other students agreed that if they had the opportunity to ski again, they would de nitely take it.

Chris Anthony rode the lift with the kids up the hill.

Recommendations for the next great book read

BY COLORADO SUN STAFF THE COLORADO SUN

Each week as part of SunLit — e Colorado Sun’s literature section — sta recommendations from book stores across Colorado are provided. is week, sta from BookBar in Denver recommend “ e Last Chairlift,” “Home Is Where the Eggs Are,” “Dad’s Girlfriend and Other Anxieties” and “ e Complete Brambly Hedge.”

The Last Chairlift

By John Irving

Simon and Schuster $38

From the publisher: In Aspen, Colorado, in 1941, Rachel Brewster is a slalom skier at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray, as she is called, nishes nowhere near the podium, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home, in New England, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor. Her son, Adam, grows up in a family that de es conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later, looking for answers, Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome, where he was conceived, Adam will meet some ghosts. ey aren’t the rst or the last ghosts he sees.

From Marilyn Robbins, Children’s Program Coordinator: ere is nothing as satisfying as reading a long novel that you can really delve into and feel as though you’ve become part of the story. “ e Last Chairlift” is just such a story and is truly another Irving masterpiece. It’s lled with unconventional characters that might challenge you until you come to accept the life choices each character makes. It is a story of family, of love, of acceptance. e setting of Aspen, Colorado is an added bonus. $32.50

From the publisher: is is a beautiful, intimate book full of food that’s best enjoyed in the comfort of sweatpants and third-day hair, by a beloved Food Network host and new mom living on a sugar beet farm in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. Molly Yeh’s cooking is built to t into life with her baby and the nap times, diaper changes, and wiggle time that come with having a young child, making them a breeze to t into any sort of schedule, no matter how busy. ey’re low-maintenance dishes that are satisfying to make for weeknight meals to celebrate empty to-do lists after long work days, cozy Sunday soups to simmer during the rst (or seventh!) snowfall of the year, and desserts that will keep happily under the cake dome for long enough that you will never feel pressure to share.

From Becky LeJeune, Event Buyer/ O ce Manager: I adore Molly Yeh! Her optimism and overall happy demeanor carry over into her dishes and are something I aspire to in my everyday life. And I think if I cook out of this book constantly, I might be able to make that happen! Cozy and comforting is rule of thumb in this book. And ease as well. Whether you’re making a hot dish or a halva- or tahini-tinged baked item or pasta, everything I’ve tried so far is amazing. is is de nitely another favorite and one that’ll be getting heavy use in my house!

Dad’s Girlfriend and Other Anxieties

By Kellye Crocker

Albert Whitman & Company $17.99

From the publisher: Anxiety has always made Ava avoid the slightest risk, but plunging head rst into danger might be just what she needs. Dad hasn’t even been dating his new girlfriend that long, so Ava is sure that nothing has to change in her life. at is, until the day after sixth grade ends, when Dad whisks her away on vacation to meet e Girlfriend and her daughter in terrifying Colorado, where even the squirrels can kill you! Managing her anxiety, avoiding altitude sickness, and surviving the mountains might take all of Ava’s strength, but at least this trip will only last two weeks. Right?

From Marilyn Robbins, Children’s Program Coordinator: I waited all year for my favorite middle grade novel, and this is it! “Dad’s Girlfriend and Other Anxieties” is the gem you’ve been looking for, perfect for the middle grade reader in your life (or you … it’s that good). You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, you’ll cheer, and you will de nitely fall in love with Ava as she navigates her trip to Colorado to meet Dad’s new girlfriend. is book is delightful and full of heart.

The Complete Brambly Hedge

By Jill Barklem

HarperCollins Publishers $24.99
