Q: A:

What is the difference between an Audiologist and a BC-HIS?

Great question! We often are asked about our credentials and experience. To become an Audiologist today, in 2013, a person must earn the degree of Doctor of Audiology (4 years of undergraduate and 4 years of graduate study in Audiology).The scope of practice for an Audiologist includes everything related to the sense of hearing and balance, from cerumen removal to tinnitus assessment and treatment to full hearing evaluations. BC-HIS stands for Board Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist. A person with this certification does not need further education beyond high school, but is required to do two years of hands-on experience in the field and then complete a national exam. Hearing Instrument Specialists are qualified to perform hearing tests solely for the purpose of fitting hearing aids. Hearing HealthCare Centers currently has two Doctors of Audiology on staff, a 4th year resident completing the Doctorate of Audiology, and a Board Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist. If you would like to meet with one of our providers for a customized consultation, please call and schedule an appointment.

Whether it’s gazing at patriotic fireworks, dancing in a summertime parade or sipping apple cider and listening to carols, Broomfield’s festivals and special events invite the entire family to celebrate special occasions in the community. Here is a look at some of the biggest events of the year:

Broomstock rocks Rocking out on the last day of school, Broomstock celebrates local music and students’ freedom with a drug- and alcohol-free bash. Broomstock, a music festival with a diverse lineup of bands, draws about 2,000 students and adults each year. The brainchild of two Broomfield High School students, the festival provides a way to celebrate the last day of school. Featuring more than 20 local bands, students from the area’s high schools both organize and perform in the event. A committee helps choose the band lineup each year, placing a focus on bands from Broomfield and the area. Broomstock also features an art show that showcases student work. Since 2000, the event has grown from a small concert to a professionally-staged festival with sponsors and higher-quality gear. Some bands who have

Magic Mop Cleaning Services, LLC 14754 Mariposa Court, Westminster, 303.450.0808

Owner Susan SierraDeHerrera started Magic Mop Cleaning Services four years ago, after retiring from a 32-year career in a large corporation. It had always been a dream of hers to create and own a small business.As a healthy 50-year-old woman with a son in private school at Holy Family High School in Broomfield, she wanted to help contribute to the family income. She realized that with today’s economy, busy lifestyle, and with both parents working outside of the home, there is great demand and need for a cleaning services business. “Let’s face it,” she says.“Not everybody wants to do the chore of cleaning their own

home or business!” Magic Mop offers cleaning services to the following Northwest Metro areas: Broomfield,Westminster, Arvada, Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie and Longmont. The company provides very high-quality, detailed, deep cleaning for homes as well as small retail stores and commercial offices.“We welcome real estate agents and brokers, and we clean move in/move out’s. Magic Mop makes any home or business property sparkle and shine.A clean home or business is so much more appealing and inviting than a neglected one.” Unlike many large-chain cleaning companies, Magic Mop cleaning jobs are always supervised and

overseen. Its employees are pre-screened and therefore honest, trustworthy and reliable.“Our mission at Magic Mop is to provide cleaning services with the highest quality and customer satisfaction in the North Metro area.We believe in supporting local businesses and hope you do, too!” Company Profile Business owner(s): Susan Sierra-DeHerrera Year business opened: August 2009 What does your company do? Provides cleaning services for residences, small retail stores and commercial offices. What do you like about being in Broomfield? Broomfield is a friendly community where many of our clients live and work. How does your company connect with Broomfield? There are many reasons that my company and I are connected to Broomfield: My son attends school at Holy Family High School, we attend church at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church, and my husband coaches Little League sports in Broomfield. Because of these connections we know and are friends with many families in the Broomfield, Westminster and the Northern Metropolitan Colorado area.

If anyone knows customers, it’s Ken Wester, a 30-year veteran of the jewelry business. “Our shop has a nice smalltown feel,” says Ken, who has run Broomfield Pawn for the last seven of the 25 years he has lived in Broomfield. “We’re

Customers looking to pawn items need to be prepared to show identification and fill out paperwork. Broomfield Pawn has a diverse inventory, from jewelry and tools to TVs, golf clubs and musical instruments. Jewelry—metals and watches—sell well and hold value, as do tools. “The inventory is diversified. You never know what’s coming in the door,” says Ken. “It’s always interesting.”

Broomfield Council on the Arts & Humanities (BCAH) 640 Main Street, Broomfield, 303.460.6800, artsinbroomfield.org

Established in 1973, the Broomfield Council on the Arts & Humanities (BCAH) has over 38 years in Broomfield providing assistance to community arts organizations in the form of mentoring, marketing and advertising. BCAH provides networking for arts organizations to gather regularly and discuss issues of common concern. By centralizing arts information and providing a supportive staff, BCAH has become an information source for residents. They also provide education, support, connection, representation, information and opportunity for cultural growth to the community. The organization is unique in the fact that BCAH is the definition of “grass roots” when it comes to community

organizations. Its founders were ordinary citizens who were deeply committed to promoting the cultural life in Broomfield. They didn’t look to government to fill the need they perceived. They rolled up their sleeves and did it themselves. Several of those original visionaries remain with BCAH today. And we are proud to follow their example. Since its beginning, BCAH has been a valuable asset to the Broomfield community. On November 12, 1973, the Broomfield Council on the Arts and Humanities was recognized by the Broomfield City Council and Mayor John P. Elliot, Jr. as the “duly authorized and designated arts group of the City of Broomfield”. The Broomfield Council for the Arts and Humanities is a volunteer-led organization.

24 • APRIL 7, 2013 • BOOK ON BROOMFIELED COUNTY

In 2011, BCAH assisted in producing more than 1000 events, serving more than 31,000 people, primarily in Broomfield County. These events happened because over 800 BCAH volunteers committed almost 20,000 hours of their time. No other entity in Broomfield does what BCAH does. When it comes to supporting the cultural aspect of life in Broomfield, BCAH makes it happen. When the public wants to know how to find cultural opportunities, BCAH is their primary resource. When a citizen has a dream or an idea concerning an arts activity, BCAH helps develop it. BCAH is always growing, always evolving. In addition to assisting arts organizations, BCAH has evolved as a valuable community

resource. We serve as a hub for information and networking, providing assistance to community residents. BCAH staff handles inquiries from the public regarding a vast range of cultural issues. In all of these cases, BCAH is a resource for information and connectivity.

HospiceCare of Boulder and Broomfield Counties is now TRU Community Care

Founded in 1976 as Colorado’s first hospice, HospiceCare of Boulder and Broomfield Counties, is now TRU Community Care. Why? Our old name no longer fully described our organization. In the beginning, we were to provide compassionate end-of-life care to people who were dying and grief support to those who had lost a loved one. Over the years, as our community’s needs have grown, we have responded— with expanded programs and a growing service area. Today, in addition to our unmatched hospice and grief support, we offer palliative home health and advanced illness management to people living with a serious disease, not just

in Boulder and Broomfield Counties, but in surrounding regions, too. TRU to our roots Though our programs have expanded, we will always be your community hospice, dedicated to providing the quality end-of-life care that has made us the preferred choice of physicians and families for over 35 years. We continue to offer expert, compassionate medical, emotional, and spiritual support to terminally ill people wherever they live—whether that’s a private residence, an assisted living community or a skilled nursing facility. Those whose needs can’t be met at home receive intensive aroundthe-clock care at our in-patient Hospice Care Center, where

26 • APRIL 7, 2013 • BOOK ON BROOMFIELED COUNTY

family-centered support is provided in a peaceful, homelike environment. We will always remain faithful to our roots and our community. Our name has changed. Our commitment to hospice has not. Why TRU Community Care? TRU is an acronym for Trusted, Responsive, Unparalleled—adjectives that were frequently used by our community supporters when asked to describe our organization. These initials also stand for the Trust, Respect, and Understanding we bring to the patients and families we serve. Moreover, the word TRU defines our genuine and faithful commitment to

caring for our community. Plus, it’s short, easy to say and remember and—when combined with Community Care—better communicates the many ways we are now helping more people. Spread the Word When you need the trusted, responsive, unparalleled care, just ask for us by name. TRU Community Care. Company Profile Business Owners: As a non-profit, we are in effect owned by and here for our community. Number of Employees: 180 Year Business Opened: 1976 What does your company do? TRU Community Care works to ensure that everyone in our community can live with advanced illness as comfortably, confidently, and fully as possible.

Emergency response North Metro does much more than fight fires By Stacey Mulligan North Metro Fire

orth Metro Fire Rescue District has a rich history that began in 1946 when it was formally known as West Adams County Fire Protection. North Metro has greatly progressed over the past 65 years, seeing many important changes to the organization, services provided to our citizens and the fire industry as a whole.

Getting to know North Metro Now serving a district that covers 63 square miles with a population of approximately 103,000, North Metro provides fire protection, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response and rescue services to Broomfield, Northglenn and unincorporated areas of Boulder, Adams, Weld and Jefferson counties. Residents of the fire district are served by 99 full-time uniformed personnel, operating from seven fire stations. Headquarters is staffed with 26 administrative and fire prevention personnel. North Metro also is directed by an elected, five-member board of directors, which provides direction to Fire Chief Joseph Bruce. The underlying philosophy of North Metro’s mission is to be a responsive, organization that works to provide a caring, professional delivery of service. Our working team is dedicated to keeping our residents safe and their efforts personify our department’s slogan, “Excellence through Each Individual Act,” by going the extra mile to help our community.

Memorial Day for veterans, families, community

In Broomfield, Memorial Day is more than just a three-day weekend. To honor veterans near and far, the Broomfield Veterans Memorial Museum hosts an annual Memorial Day Picnic to bring together families for a patriotic barbecue at Broomfield County Commons. Participants bring picnic baskets bursting with snacks to sit on the lawn and enjoy music and speeches from veterans and their loved ones. Performers such as the Broomfield Civic Chorus and the Broomfield Symphony provide entertainment, and participants can walk through an outdoor exhibit

featuring military uniforms and memorabilia. Service organizations such as the Broomfield Lions Club help cook up hamburgers and hot dogs to round out the picnic. This year’s picnic will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 27. For more information go to broomfieldveterans.wordpress.com/.

July 4 is a Great American Picnic On the Fourth of July, Broomfield County Commons flies its best red, white and blue for a celebration of the nation. Residents can bring a picnic dinner or grab a bite from food vendors as they set up their favorite spot to watch fireworks. Children

Meet Our Greeters. It’s different here. Some of our merchants bring their best friends to work, and there’s not a darn thing corporate can do about it. Because there is no corporate.
