Summer in Colorado

Posted by & filed under News from our Advertisers.

Offered by Jan Giuliano, – Universal Lending, The Giuliano Team

Back to school is upon us! Most schools will resume fall classes by the end of the month. But meanwhile we have a lot of summer left to celebrate. Vacations broaden our horizons whether we go to Disneyland, camping, or traveling to other states and beyond. Seeing Colorado can be equally enjoyable because we have so much to do and see right here in our own backyard, plan on visiting and shopping locally. Looking for an idea of what to do with the rest of our Colorado summer? Go on-line to: www.colorado.com/thingstodo and find your next adventure.

We hope you didn’t miss the Adams County Fair this year, August 1st – 5th, so much to enjoy for the whole family. When shopping for all the glorious home-grown fruits and vegetables look no farther than Brighton and the immediate surrounding area for local growers.

If you’re still looking to get into a home before school starts, it’s going to be challenging. Hopefully you’re already under contract and somewhere in the process. But if you haven’t found that home don’t despair. Keep going, there seems to be more houses on the market than earlier in the summer.

Whatever you’re up to, continue to enjoy the great weather, Bar-B-Q’s, sports and family activities that are a part of Colorado summer.

If you need help, call Frank at 303-912-2850 or Jan at 303-548-3002

Back to School Savvy

Offered by Brian Margolis, The Margolis Team

Most home buyers are on the sidelines for the month of August which is great if you are motivated to buy right now. One of the biggest reasons for the lull is because we’re approaching back to school time. Lucky for you, inventory is much greater now than it was in the early spring. For the first time in a long time, buyers can actually shop for their dream home instead of fight for it.

Sellers, do not fret. While many are focused on getting kids prepared for school, there are still buyers who will take advantage of this time of year. We are still in an incredibly strong market and though inventory is better, it is still somewhat limited.

Want to make sure you still get top dollar for your home? The best way is to show pride in ownership. If you have a lot of deferred maintenance, buyers will notice. Take the time to spruce up your home and get it ready to show off.

If you want our professional services, including staging your home, professional photos, and expertise in buying and selling, hire our friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated Realtors at The Margolis Team. Please call: 720-791-5999 or visit www.TheMargolisTeam.com

We are always looking to add great talent to our team, so please call Brian directly at 720-352-0454 if you are interested in a great career in real estate.

Brighton Recreation Center steps up for School District 27J families

Posted by & filed under News from our Advertisers.

Offered by: City of Brighton Public Information Office

27J School DistrictThe Brighton Recreation Center has created special programming to accommodate School District 27J students who are looking for fun activities on non-contact Mondays. It’s called RecPlay Mondays and it starts when students head back to school in August.

School District 27J announced it was going to be transitioning to a four day school-week earlier this year and with the new focused academic schedule, students will only be in the classroom Tuesday-Friday. Meaning families are left to find their own childcare and entertainment for their kids on Mondays. The Brighton Recreation Center didn’t just sit back and wait for the community to ask to use its facility or for the school district to propose a partnership; instead, staff immediately went to work on what classes and educational opportunities it could offer.

“We are offering a variety of Monday programming that we hope will appeal to many different interests,” said Assistant Director of Recreation Services Jeffrey Hulett.

The approach was simple: create a wide variety of classes that will appeal to kids with a wide range of interests. The RecPlay Mondays programs are divided into age groups, much like school, and there are classes available for students in elementary all the way up to high school.

“In the morning we have our sports camps along with SpaceTime – a hands on science workshop—and LEGO Camp,” Hulett said. “Early afternoon is Culinary Kids, Strength Training and Pool Sharks.” He added, “We wrap up the day with more sports camps.”

All RecPlay Mondays’ programs run in either a three or four week session, according to the Recreation Center’s website. In addition to multi-series classes, like the ones mentioned above, the Brighton Recreation Center is also are offering one day classes held on various Mondays throughout the fall. These include classes for Babysitting and a CPR/First Aid class.
“We welcome the public’s feedback as we continue to develop programming to meet the needs of our community,” Hulett said.

Have Fun In The Sun

Posted by & filed under News from our Advertisers.

Offered by Mackenzie Seibert, CPNP – Brighton Pediatrics

Now that the kids are out of school and the beautiful Colorado sun is out, many kids are spending much more time outdoors in the sun. It is important to remember that the UV rays from the sun can cause painful sunburns, early wrinkling of the skin and an increased risk of developing skin cancer.

It is crucial to know the best ways to protect your kids from the sun. The sun is most intense from about 10am to 4pm each day. You can minimize exposure to the sun by staying in the shade and covering as much skin as possible. This can be done by wearing hats as well as lightweight clothing that covers the arms and legs. For skin that isn’t covered, sunscreen should always be used. Before heading into the sun you want to apply a sunscreen that has “broad spectrum”, has an SPF rating of at least 15, and is water resistant. With any sunscreen, regardless of what the SPF is, you should always re-apply at least every 2 hours. No sunscreen is completely waterproof so it should always be reapplied after swimming, sweating or other water activities. For infants under 6 months of age it is best to keep them in the shade and keep their skin covered. However, for the times they cannot be shaded or protected with clothing, you may use a small amount of sunscreen on the exposed skin.

Redefining Home: Designing For Today And Tomorrow (Part 2)

Posted by & filed under News from our Advertisers.

Offered by Jan Hepp-Struck, Hepp Realty

Last month I introduced the hot button topic of Aging in Place and the growing trend of universal design to more fully address the needs of our rapidly growing aging population and their desire to stay in their homes. But what does that really look like in terms of physical changes to your home and the impact on your life now.

First and foremost, universal (or ageless) design is about focusing on safety, ease of movement, and attractive design, both inside and outside, for all ages and abilities regardless of the stage of life. There are, of course, the more obvious and major design elements like open floor plans and widened hallways and doorways that allow for more accessibility for wheel chairs, scooters, and walkers. Another major consideration is accommodating the ability for single-floor living by ensuring kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom, and laundry are all accessible on the main floor.

But what about less major design elements outside of a major remodel… think about things that some might consider purely cosmetic adaptations such as lever-style faucet and door handles because they are much easier to operate for someone with painful joints or a weak grip. Additionally, some less obvious features could include lower or no threshold doorways. You might also consider lowered or more shallow countertops and sinks, lower cabinets, a curbless shower stall or even a walk-in bathtub that can also function as an individual jacuzzi bath, lowered light switches and thermostat, and lighting/fan fixtures with separate remotes or WIFI connectivity.

In short, your home doesn’t have to look like a geriatric facility to be functional for someone aging in place.
