Hearing HealthCare Centers: The Path to Better Hearing It’s hard to imagine a world without sound. The sounds we hear – and our ability to hear them – are essential to living a full life. Throughout the day, sounds inform us, cue us and entertain us. But for those who suffer from a hearing disorder, daily life can be difficult and isolating. “The effects of poor hearing significantly impact our overall health and quality of life,” says Dr. Ashleigh Eddelbuttel, Doctor of Audiology at Hearing HealthCare Centers in Broomfield. Losing your hearing diminishes your enjoyment of daily activities as well as relationships, she explains. It can even contribute to cognitive decline. Hearing HealthCare Centers treats each patient uniquely, by offering personalized hearing care that includes diagnostic evaluations, education and rehabilitation tools. The audiologists and patient care coordinators are dedicated to providing the right hearing solutions and best value on advanced hearing aid technology. Dr. Eddelbuttel has worked with many Broomfield area patients to restore them to good hearing health. When she started college, she recalls, “I knew that I wanted to work with the deaf community, but I didn’t know a lot about audiology as a practice. Once I discovered it, I knew I had found what I really wanted to do.

“It’s an underserved population. I love getting to educate patients on hearing health. Local people are pretty active, and they are actively involved in their own health, too. They want to know.” Most hearing impaired patients can benefit from advances in hearing aid technology. There is a personalized solution that fits most lifestyles and physical needs. But what is right for you? The first step to great hearing health is a comprehensive evaluation. Hearing HealthCare Centers will use clinically adopted tools and methods such as Real Ear Measurement, Speech Mapping or Sound Field Verification to measure your hearing. Using the results, the audiologists work with you to create a long-term treatment plan that includes ongoing evaluations to ensure you are satisfied with your hearing in the years to come. The types of advanced hearing aids just keeps growing, and today’s patients have an array of affordable hearing aid options that fit their budget, cosmetic and hearing loss need. There are behindthe-ear and all-in-the-ear models. There are invisible systems, and there are hearing aids specially designed for tinnitus sufferers. Tinnitus (experienced as a sustained ringing or humming sound) can be a warning symptom of hearing loss or sensory neural damage. Tinnitus, like most other hearing problems, can affect people at any

Meet the Doctors

age. “Hearing loss can affect anyone,” Dr. Eddelbuttel says. “It can begin as early as your 20s, and since most loss happens incrementally, you may not really recognize the size of the problem without clinical measurement. While most of our patients are in the 60 to 65 year range, we have seen patients as young as six and as old as a hundred.” Hearing HealthCare Centers participates in the 9 News Health Fair each year to help support the hearing health of our Broomfield community. They are proud supporters of the Starkey Hearing Foundation, which has provided more than 100,000 hearing aids to those in need around the world. The Broomfield team is also exploring new service opportunities to grow their community outreach. What’s the value of good hearing health? It’s hard to say it any better than what one Hearing HealthCare Center patient said: “Hearing HealthCare Centers has helped me to remain ‘in the loop’ in my life.” Join Hearing HealthCare Centers on the journey to YOUR better hearing.

From outdoor festivals to the farmers’ market, there are events and entertainment available for residents of all ages. For residents looking to stay active and healthy outdoors, Broomfield offers more than 8,000 acres of open lands and almost 300 miles of multiuse paths, bike lanes and eight-foot sidewalks for residents to enjoy. Broomfield’s Open Space and Trails Department promotes a healthy environment for people, nature and the community by offering several exciting events throughout the year. The Broomfield Trail Adventure, in its 15th year, provides participants with the opportunity to take advantage of Broomfield’s intricate system of trails and paths. Whether you are walking, running, hiking or biking, the Broomfield Trail Adventure invites residents to explore the many trails offered by the city. “We like to do this in honor of National Trails Day,” said Kristan Pritz, open space and trails department director. “We want to be a part of that whole movement.

It begins at 8 a.m. “It’s a chance for children to get out with their families and do something together,” Pritz said. “They don’t just go fishing; they learn a lot about fishing and fish.” The Open Space and Trails Department also is

hosting a speaker series this year aimed at educating the community on various topics of interest concerning open space, nature and wildlife. For more competitive residents looking to stay active and healthy, the city offers several intriguing races throughout the year. Every year on Super Bowl Sunday, numerous Broomfield residents participate in an annual “fun run.” Next year will be the 15th annual Super Sunday Fun Run/

Ken Wester, runs the business in Villager Square shopping center with his son Kurt and grandson Kyle. Broomfield Pawn offers two ways for customers to make money fast—selling an item outright for cash in hand or offering an item as collateral for a 30-day cash loan. If a customer doesn’t return for the item in 30 days, Broomfield Pawn owns it. About 80 percent of customers—a majority repeat patrons—come back in 30 days. “It’s a growing business,” says Ken. 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 here to help people. We’ll give

anyone a short-term loan.” About 98 percent of customers are just nice, working people, according to Ken. 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, a large inventory of guns 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.”

Buenos Tiempos: Broomfield’s Neighborhood Restaurant and Bar Community restaurant celebrates 30 years in August Buenos Tiempos is the modern-day equivalent of the everyone’s favorite Boston bar, says Co-Owner Heather Hamilton. “People joke about it being the ‘Cheers’ of Broomfield,” she says. “You’re always going to run into friends when you’re here.” In 1986, Heather’s father, Rich, sold his poolhall in Boulder and moved to Broomfield to open Buenos Tiempos. Back then, Broomfield only had about 10 restaurants and was in need of a good gathering place, says Heather. This August, the restaurant will celebrate its 30th anniversary. “We love being part of Broomfield and its community,” says Heather. “We’re getting ready to celebrate thirty years and we’re looking forward to celebrating another thirty years after that.” For Heather, co-owning and managing Buenos Tiempos presents an opportunity to interact with her close-knit community. “I grew up here, so a lot of our customers are like family,” says Heather.

“They’ve watched me grow up. I’ve watched a lot of the younger couples get married and have children and then they grow up. It’s a neat thing, living in a small town like that where pretty much everybody knows everybody.” Buenos Tiempos is an active member of the small-town community of Broomfield. The family of owners and employees contribute regularly in a variety of ways. One of their annual contributions is to Broomfield High School’s sports gala. “We bring a huge food buffet down and I bring my staff down and we serve,” Heather says. “Any time the high school comes asking, we’re more than happy to donate food or a gift certificate or whatever they need.” In addition to helping with the high school, Buenos Tiempos donates to several area churches and helps with the Broomfield Community Foundation’s annual “Dancing with the Stars” fundraiser. The restaurant also sponsors an annual car show and golf tournament,

events that have brought together the Broomfield community for over 15 years. This year, Buenos Tiempos will be partnering with the Broomfield Special Olympics for these two events. The car show, on May 1, will have a 50-50 raffle fundraiser with proceeds to benefit the Broomfield Special Olympics. The fee for entering the golf tournament on June 11th is $120, $20 of which will go to helping members of the Special Olympics purchase equipment and jerseys. For more information about either event, see the Buenos Tiempos website or call Heather at the bar. “It will be something different,” says Heather. “A lot of my regulars are excited that we’re doing that. They are definitely going to make sure that they play this year to help out a good cause like that.” Many things separate Buenos Tiempos from other restaurants. Some customers love them for their best-selling chicken fajita burrito or carnitas plate, with ingredients made fresh, in-house, every day. Buenos Tiempos keeps delicious food affordable with lunch specials starting at just $3.69. They have an expansive menu of authentic Mexican cuisine and a section of American

favorites. Others come to Buenos Tiempos for its fun activities, like Golden Tee, pinball or cornhole. They host pool leagues three nights a week, Monday through Wednesday, and Texas Hold’em poker night on Thursdays at 7 p.m. While these events give the restaurant character, Heather says what truly sets Buenos Tiempos apart is a fierce commitment to satisfaction. “I care if you have a bad experience,” she says. “If you walk into a chain restaurant, you’re just one in a line of twenty or thirty people behind you. I want you to enjoy yourself because that means you’re going to come back and tell your friends to come and that means a lot to me.” Buenos Tiempos, 1000 Depot Hill Road, Unit I, Broomfield, CO 80020; 303.466.6386; buenostiemposrestaurant.com

Come for the food! Stay for the fun!

Looking for the freshest food and friendliest faces in Broomfield? You’ll find both at the Farmers’ Market on Tuesday afternoons this summer.

ompletely volunteer run, the Broomfield Farmers’ Market at Holy Comforter Church has created a welcoming space with the best local produce, live music and friendly vendors. It was in fact voted Colorado’s favorite farmers market last year, the second time it has earned that honor since 2012. Holy Comforter Episcopal Church sponsors the market, but the church’s governing body is committed to donating net revenues back to the community. No market proceeds are used to support the church operations.

Coordinator Dave Carter is one of the market’s volunteer managers (it is run entirely by unsalaried volunteers).“I have been involved since...a dinner party in late 2010 when someone asked,‘Why don’t we start a farmers’ market on the empty lot in front of the church?’” While he handles the overall market operations, he is quick to mention how Broomfield has contributed to its success. “The community support has been fantastic,”he continues. “The Mayor helped preside over the ribbon cutting opening our market each of the past five seasons and the Broomfield Chamber of Commerce was out in full force at our Grand Opening last year. The Broomfield Enterprise and other local publications have helped us spread the word.” The market is dedicated to ensuring that the locally grown food it offers is accessible to residents throughout the community.“We have implemented a program to double the value of any benefits redeemed at our market by residents on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program),” Carter explains.“Some of our

produce and bread vendors contribute unsold goods each week to Broomfield FISH.” Last year those contributions topped two tons! As the market has grown, one priority has been to remain a farmers’ market. Many local people want to sell various products and services through the market, and this has caused Carter and staff to make some hard decisions.“While many of these are great products and services,we want to make sure that locally-grown food remains the cornerstone of our market,” he says.“That’s why we limit nonfood vendors to no more than 20 percent of our market space, and we require those vendors to offer products that are locally grown or somehow related to the mission of our market.”

Dear Friend,

Hani M. Marogil, DMD “Setting the standard for exceptional dental care”

I am a dentist, but, like everyone else, my teeth need regular care to preserve them and to make them as attractive as possible. So, just like everyone else, I go to the dentist to receive many of the procedures I deliver to my own patients. When I sat down to write goals for my practice, it occurred to me that the kind of dentistry I want to give to my patients was exactly the kind of dentistry I wanted to receive. I can assure you that I would hold my dentist to some pretty high standards. I would want my dentist to see me as an individual, to know me personally and not merely treat me as a chart number or “the next patient.” I would want my dentist to foster this relationship by knowing what is important to me and respecting me as a person. I wouldn’t want to be taken for granted, even years into the relationship. Although I am probably as brave as the next person, I’d prefer, naturally, not to experience discomfort during my dental visit. I would want my dentist to have genuine concern for my comfort before, during and after my treatment. I would want my dentist to have thoroughly mastered pain-free dental techniques. Maybe I am spoiled,but I get annoyed if I have to do too much waiting. I’d much prefer it if my dentist and staff were ready for me when I arrived, and would really like it if I were the only patient there, so the doctor and staff could give me their full attention. I’m a stickler for quality. I am even willing to pay a little more if I am receiving top-of-the-line treatment. These teeth are the only ones I’ll ever have, so I wouldn’t choose my dentist because his or her fees were the lowest. I would choose a dentist who could provide me with the highest level of care, which is what I feel I deserve. I would appreciate someone who is painstakingly accurate in all the details of my treatment. So what I want as a dental patient is what I hope you want, because the result of this kind of treatment is my true goal: Optimal dental health and appearance. If you want this kind of care, I would be happy to be your dentist.

Keystone Place at Legacy Ridge: A Unique Senior Living Community The difference is clear the moment you walk in the door. The décor is fresh, comfortable and welcoming. There’s music playing – everything from big band crooners to rock. The staff are smiling, attentive, and quick to offer a friendly greeting. It’s nothing like the image conjured by the phrase “retirement community,” and according to Melissa Ward, the executive director for Keystone Place at Legacy Ridge, that’s very much by design. “I often compare this to a cruise ship,” she said. Keystone Place offers residents tailored levels of professional assistance mixed with a wide variety of fun and fulfilling activities, all orchestrated by a staff who truly delights in what they do. Like time on a cruise or at a resort, the overall environment is one of relaxation, and there’s always something fun to do. “That’s how every day should be,” Ward said. “Like you’re on a cruise.” Three different levels of care are available at Keystone Place. “In our Independent Living building, everyone has their own full kitchen,” Ward explains. Continental breakfast is provided, and meal plans are available, but these residents are still very independent.

Additionally, there are plenty of fun, engaging activities happening on a daily basis, and the facilities include a putting green, theater, pub, library, activity center, and an overwhelming 90 to 120 fitness classes are offered every month. On the practical side, transportation to and from personal appointments is available, and housekeeping is provided every other week. There’s also a concierge on call 24 hours a day, ready to respond if any kind of emergency arises. Residents who require a little more help may be better suited for Assisted Living. Here, residents are provided with three meals a day plus snacks, and the apartments do not include a kitchen.

Overall care is also stepped up a notch, with a higher presence of 24/7 staff, medication management and licensed nurses available. The highest level of care offered is known as Memory Care, and is designed to accommodate those with Alzheimer’s Disease or more advanced dementia. Resident housing at this level is more like a studio apartment. Ward describes it as “a smaller, intimate setting” focused primarily on safety and comfort. When even greater care is needed, up to and including hospice care, Keystone Place is willing to work with the family. Moving is tough at any age, but in these cases it’s really hard. The staff understands

and will do what they can to avoid unnecessary hassles. At each level of care, safety is the main concern. As Ward explained, the resident’s total well-being is the determining factor when discussing plans with family members. Keystone Place aims to help residents “elevate their lives.” That’s the guiding principle behind the wide variety of services offered, from robust fitness programs, to social activities, to dayto-day care. It’s also why you’d be hard pressed to find a more attentive, friendly staff at any similar facility. “I think we’re a very unique senior living community,” Ward said. She’s not alone in that assessment. Keystone Place has been honored by Caring.com, a nationally recognized senior living resource, multiple years running. In fact, for the last two years, they’ve been awarded “Super Star” status. In 2016, only 96 senior living communities in the entire U.S. earned that title, putting Keystone Place in a rare class. If your family is considering senior living arrangements, Keystone Place certainly warrants a closer look. With so much to offer, your loved ones will be in good hands here.

Lionheart Dry Cleaners is Located in the New Broomfield Town Centre. 6785 W. 120th Ave., Unit D, Broomfield • 303.469.1520 • lionheartdrycleanersbroomfield.com When Broomfield residents – and neighboring city folks, too – want the best cleaning services for their clothes and home goods, they choose Lionheart Dry Cleaners. “We are the only on-site, in-house, full-service dry cleaner south of 144th Avenue in Broomfield,” says Lionheart Owner Mary Kay Valencia. “At other local cleaners you drop your clothes off and they send them elsewhere to be cleaned.” Family owned & operated since 1994, Lionheart offers pickup and delivery service as well as possible same-day service. All work is performed on location. Besides dry cleaning, Lionheart services include shirt laundry, alterations, repairs, leather cleaning, French laundry, wedding dress preparation and preservation, waterproofing, pillow restoration, household items, drapes and rugs. “We built our business around service – going the extra mile to make sure our customers have only the best. Clothes are personal, and it is our goal every day to make sure our services are up to a standard and as close to perfection as possible.” After all these years, Mary Kay knows

people not just as customers but as friends, neighbors, and partners in making Broomfield a better place to live.

History of Lionheart

Mary Kay started in this field more than 30 years ago for another local dry cleaner, working as a dry cleaner and pants presser. Lionheart has stayed in the same location - the northwest corner of the soon to be new Broomfield TowneCenter at 120th and Main. A few years later her husband, a Broomfield Police Commander, passed away. Daughter Annastasia was just starting law school and son Bill beginning his undergraduate studies at Adams State College. “Dry cleaning was what I knew, but I was concerned that I might be too faint of heart to try it on my own.” Her kids disagreed and said, ‘You’re not faint of heart – you have the heart of a lion.’ Hence, the name. She later became a certified Dry Cleaner with the International Fabric Institute and over the years has studied Leather Cleaning, Alterations and Wedding Dress Preservation. Bill designed their logo and lion mascot and helped with advertising.

Annastasia has now put her law degree to work for the State of Colorado. And, 14 years ago, Bill joined his mother as a partner. Besides running most of the daily details he has become the repair, maintenance man and troubleshooter. Lionheart has stayed in the same location – the northwest corner of the Broomfield Shopping Center at 120th and Main. It has grown from just “family” to five fulltime employees and one part-time employee. Bill and Mary Kay say, “We’re just an old-fashioned family business, and we struggle to stay that way. We feel it is important, and we consider our employees family also. If it wasn’t for those employees, both past and present, Lionheart Cleaners would not be what it is today. One of our ladies has been with us for over 7 years, and each of the women bring their own experiences and expertise with them.” The business has evolved with the community. Their clientele today includes hotels, churches, and many of the city›s police officers, along with old and new residents.

Keeping up with the times

The Valencias are attentive to environmental concerns, and because of this strength they were called upon by the City an County of Broomfield to act as a green business consultant. “Officials came to us to ask questions about how we ran our plant. We were green long before the word was a catch-term. There are lots of regulations in the cleaning industry: air and water pollution standards, disposals that must be adhered to. We have a lot of experience in dealing with these regulations.” Lionheart just installed a new, hydrocarbon dry cleaning machine on its premises. “We were from day one of February 1994 environmentally conscious and safe in our cleaning practices,” says Mary Kay. “The fact that we are family owned is important for me, and so is being part of the Broomfield community. I have lived here since 1978. We have been in this location since 1994. We really appreciate the local business; some of our original customers brought their babies in to the store in their carriers, and now those babies are grown up and are bringing their babies in.

A Passion for Travel Wee Travel is Broomﬁeld’s full service Travel Agency

ancy Wee’s passion is infectious. Spend a few minutes visiting with her about her job, and you’ll find yourself itching to book a trip. Even after 34 years in the travel business, much of it spent personally guiding group trips, she still gets excited about the prospect of hitting the road (or the sky, or the ocean, or the river...) again. Wee Travel is a full service travel agency, but, as Wee explains, “people often don’t know what that means.” In short, if you have any travel need, Wee Travel can help you create the perfect trip. That includes bus tours, river cruises, theater tickets, flights, ocean cruises – you name it. Granted, you could book many of the same services online yourself, but without the personal interaction a skilled agent can provide, it’s much harder to ensure you’re getting the best deal. While the staff at Wee Travel can assist with any kind of travel booking, they specialize in guided group trips. Most popular among these are Alaskan and Mediterranean cruises, though Wee is quick to point at that Caribbean cruises are well-liked, too. She explains that clients are fond of cruises for two reasons: one, because, apart from beverages, they’re all inclusive; and two, because they include multiple destinations, giving travelers more sight-seeing options than a single-destination trip. Wee’s guided trips are particularly popular. Groups range in size from around 20 to nearly 100, often including a mix of friends and family who

already know one another, and fellow vacation-goers who’ve yet to meet. The advantages of a guided trip are considerable. Wee, who is, herself, very well traveled, can make recommendations about local tourist attractions, restaurants, sites and other entertainment. Additionally, she secures a number of amenities for her groups, including special meals, cocktail parties and other events. “Of course, people don’t have to stick with the group,” Wee explains. Some would rather explore on their own, and that’s just fine. However, if group members would prefer to take in the sites with a knowledgeable guide, she’s there to help everyone get the most out of their trip. On May 4th, Wee Travel will be celebrating 27 years at their current location. With deep roots in the Broomfield community, Wee Travel offers all the customer service and options you’d expect from a big business with the charm and personal attention of a small town specialty shop. What’s more, Wee Travel is a proud member of the local community, regularly supporting various community efforts, like Dancing with the Broomfield Stars, and Broomfield Senior Resource. Whether you’re booking travel just for yourself or interested in being a part of a group trip, be sure to contact the staff of Wee Travel the next time you’re headed out of town. ____________________________ Wee Travel 1380 W.

The event encourages families to get out and experience the health benefits of participating in the race, while presenting the opportunity for children to engage in learning about health. This year, the event focused on mental health and aimed to empower participants with a positive message about taking control of their own health. The expo is free and open to the public.

Broomfield Days features activities and entertainment for all with a 5K race, parade, trade fair, craft festival, a number of food booths, three stages of entertainment, demonstrations, and above all — community spirit. The event is also a great way for local businesses to showcase their goods and services while increasing their business’ exposure to the community. To learn more about Broomfield Days, also visit www.ci.broomfield.co.us. And, no matter what your favorite holiday is, Broomfield has a holiday event for your enjoyment. On Monday, July 4, at Broomfield County Commons Park, 13200 Sheridan Blvd., Recreation Services will hold its annual Great American Picnic in celebration of Independence Day. The event begins at 5 p.m. with pony rides, a petting zoo, numerous food stands, a pair of musical performances, a patriotic bike parade and (weather permitting) a fireworks show. A holiday event sure to be a treat for residents of all ages is the Broomfield Recreation Services Annual Spooktacular. The event is held at the 1stBank Center and will feature carnival games, wagon rides, crafts and more, so come dressed in your best costume and enjoy the haunting entertainment.

Trust on two different occasions — including last year. “Our mission has always been to create a destination that connects the community with healthy food and local farmers,” Dave Carter, volunteer manager, said. “Essentially what we want to do is be a gathering place for the community on Tuesday evenings during the summer. People can enjoy live music, catch up with neighbors and grab some dinner.” To benefit the community as a whole, the Broomfield Community Foundation has some of the more prominent members of the community participate in Dancing with the Broomfield Stars.
