L . E . V. I .L.E.V.I. (Longmont Ending (Domestic) Vio-

lence Initiative) is an awareness project designedto enlist the entire community in an effort to re-duce and control domestic violence. It is the or-ganization’s intent to teach members of the com-munity how to become part of the solution to enddomestic violence by providing resources to therelationship before the violence escalates.

Started in 1998, L.E.V.I. began after a series ofparticularly violent domestic assaults occurred inLongmont. In an effort to prevent these activitiesfrom reoccurring, the community pulled togetherto form L.E.V.I., which is made up of more than24 agencies that provide resources to combat do-mestic violence.

Kim Heard, L.E.V.I. project coordinator, saysshe provides three main areas of support: refer-rals, prevention/education and public informa-tion. First L.E.V.I. steps up to assist those who arenot connecting with the resources they need tochange the situation, such as helping to findfunding for car repairs, changing locks, gift cardsor phone numbers of other agencies. For the pre-vention/education part of L.E.V.I., Heard providespublic presentations to healthcare providers,schools, civic groups and businesses to enlisttheir assistance in stopping domestic violence.Heard also spreads public information by talking

at public events about domestic violence, as wellas sponsoring campaigns during Domestic Vio-lence Awareness Month in October, Teen DatingViolence Month in February and the White Rib-bon Campaign (where men can take a standagainst violence against women) in June.

L.E.V.I. provides four free training sessions ayear on issues related to domestic violence andsponsors monthly meetings with collaborators.

Longmont Humane Society Wellness ClinicWhen the Longmont Humane Society opened

its new facility in 2008 with an on-site WellnessClinic for animals, little did they know howmuch the community would embrace the oppor-tunity for low-cost veterinary services. While theclinic started out offering just spay and neuters,they quickly found a demand for expanded ser-vices.

“The biggest passion for our program is thatwe can offer the community the ability to care forpets at what they deem affordable, the real out-come is that we help to reduce intakes and sur-renders at the shelter,” says Pam Pierce, clinic co-o rd i n a t o r.

With the ongoing demand for animal care, theWellness Clinic plans to move late this fall to 230S. Main St. – near the intersection of Main Streetand Ken Pratt Boulevard – to offer more spaceand availability in scheduling appointments. Un-til now, community wellness appointments haveonly been available two days a week because oth-er time was spent caring for shelter dogs. Thenew location will be able to offer animal care fivedays a week.

The Wellness Clinic will continue to offer spayand neutering, as well as general wellness exams,general surgery for items such as wound care, mi-crochipping, vaccinations, heartworm testing and

FeLV/FIV testing.Stay tuned to the Longmont Humane Society

website at www.longmonthumane.org for detailson the upcoming move.

Healthy Glow Spray Tanning

Lo n g m o n tBraces

Choosing an orthodontist is a bigdecision and something that Dr.Stephanie Ross of Longmont Bracesunderstands. Through free consul-tations, Ross gets to know her pa-tients and their needs before begin-ning treatments of any kind.

As a Longmont native, Ross knewshe wanted to return to the commu-nity and begin a practice. “I like thesmall town feel of Longmont,” she says. “It al-lows me the chance to really get to know my pa-tients and their needs.”

Before opening Longmont Braces in February,Ross graduated from Trinity University in SanAntonio, Texas, where she earned a bachelor ofscience in biology. Near the end of her under-graduate studies, Ross became interested in den-tistry and returned home to attend the Universityof Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver,where she earned a degree in dentistry.

Ross continued her dentistry education with ageneral-practice residency in Honolulu, Hawaii,where she developed specialized skills for treat-ing complex and multi-disciplinary cases. Duringthis time, Ross realized how much she enjoyed

creating beautiful smiles and returned to CU topursue a degree in orthodontics.

“I felt like orthodontics was more fun for me,”Ross says. “I like seeing the transformation of asmile and how it can change a person's life. It’s sore w a rd i n g . ”

At Longmont Braces, Ross specializes in treat-ing children and adults and recommends every-one to get their teeth checked by an orthodontistby age 7. “It’s good to start monitoring early,” shesays.

Healthy Glow Spray Tanning, created in March2009 by former educator and reformed sun-wor-shipper Kate Olsen, offers the safest and quickestway to tan through the most unique at-home par-ty experience ever.

Known as Healthy Glow Gatherings, these par-ties consist of four or more guests who join to-gether to enjoy expertly applied, custom spraytans, and to peruse an array of exclusive, sunlesstanning products in the comfort of their host’shome.

The unique products offered at the gatheringsaim to cover the exfoliation, bronzing and protec-tion aspects of a sunless tanning experience. Ofthese, some of Olsen’s clients’ favorites are theloofah flip-flops, facial bronzers and the OriginalUmbrella Stand and Umbrella set.

Once teaching teens, she now finds herself ed-ucating people of all ages about sunless tanningtechnology in a fun and pampering environment.“Being able to expose my clients to a positivespray tanning experience and educate them aboutsunless tanning’s safe and natural results is veryre w a rd i n g , ” Olsen says.

And, she notes, sunless tanning is much lessintimidating when done with friends. In fact, oneof Healthy Glow Spray Tanning’s mottos is,“Friends who spray together, stay together!”

Throughout Dr. Amy Farmer’smore than 12 years as a dentist,she has always been drawn to theidea of creating a unique and un-expected experience for herguests. Opening her own dentalpractice, Crossroads Dental, inlate August has given Farmer theopportunity to do just that.

An abundance of thought, careand planning went into what hernew practice would look like. “Iwanted to create an inviting and soothingatmosphere for my guests to relax in during theirvisits. I want to be able to take the time to buildreal and genuine relationships with people thatare willing to share their time with us,” Farmersays.

Guests will experience a new face of dentistrywhen they enter Crossroads Dental with a frontroom designed to look like a living room. Eachguest will be matched with a dedicated personalcoordinator to be their dental assistant, insurancecoordinator, financial expert and even their ownbarista.

Continuing education is important to Farmer

and her team as they take as many continuingeducation courses as possible to provide the bestdentistry. “My intent is not just to say we are go-ing to be the best dental office you have ever ex-perienced, but to actually deliver on that line andbe the best,” she says.

Farmer is committed to the Longmont area andlooks forward to building trust and quality in thecommunity, as well as be an active participant inthe successes of the area.

Mountain States Children’s Home

The Rib House

Mountain States Children’s Home has dedicat-ed the last 50 years to helping kids deal with thechallenges in life they have endured or are goingt h ro u g h .

Onsite counselors work with each individualkid to address the problems they may have had athome, such as breaking curfew and rules, skip-ping school or out of control behaviors. Somekids may even face depression, bipolar disorderor ADHD, which the counseling staff can workt h ro u g h .

Barbara Noble, director of social services atMSCH, says when a kid first arrives at MSCH, thecounseling staff will address a list of criteria forplacement and determine what direction will bebest for them. At that point, each kid gets an indi-vidualized treatment plan with goals to work to-w a rd .

Family counseling is also extremely importantto the program, because eventually the familywill be reunited and any issues that are within thehome environment need to be addressed. “It al-lows us to not only deal with the child and theirissues, but what the entire family is facing,” shesays. “The focus of our program is behavior basedon helping to change behaviors.”

While counseling focuses on the child andtheir family, learning about problem solving and

how to work together in a group setting is alsoimportant. Group therapy allows kids to do char-acter building, fitness or even lawn care.

Through the many facets of the MountainStates program, kids come out stronger and betterable to take on things in their lives becausethey’ve been a part of a family with consistentstructure. It’s the ultimate goal of MountainStates Children’s Home.

Starting a store that caters toparents and kids was easy for ShopKids Resale and Consignmentowner Megan Johnson. As a momof three boys, Johnson understoodhow quickly kids outgrow cloth-ing, toys and other must-have ac-cessories, such as high chairs ands t ro l l e r s .

Johnson also knew what parentsin the community were looking for, after twoyears of hosting Shop Kids events at AmericanFurniture Warehouse in Firestone.

In order to give her customers what they want-ed – year-round savings on kid items – Johnsonopened Shop Kids Resale and Consignment withthe goal of not only providing savings, but ashopping experience like no other.

Designed more as a boutique than a thriftstore, Johnson prides herself on the layout of thestore because it helps busy parents find what theyneed, while offering a safe place for their kids toplay. “Our biggest compliment is that it is openand you can see everything,” she says. “There isno digging.”

Johnson also guarantees that “if it’s not quality,

it’s not in the store,” on all items she has for sale.And if you can’t find what you’re looking for,

inquire about the wish list offered at the store.The wish list allows for customers to request aspecific item, and in return an e-mail is sent outto a database of people seeking the item in ques-tion. So whether you’re looking for a specific toyor designer clothes at affordable prices, shop forthe ones you love at Shop Kids Resale and Con-signment.

Choosing the best wayto pay tribute to a lovedone after death is an im-portant decision. As morefamilies choose cremation,they are frequently unde-cided on what to do withthe ashes.

Marc Arnold of AerialTribute offers AscensionScattering to his cus-tomers, which allows for adignified and eco-friendlyway to send a loved one’sashes heavenward.

Ascension Scattering isdifferent from simply scattering ashes from air-craft, because it releases some or all of your lovedone’s cremated remains (also known as “c re -mains” or “ashes”) into a naturally occurring col-umn of rising air, known as a thermal. A portionof the cremated remains ascend into the upper at-mosphere where they can remain indefinitely.This results in a unique and inspirational globalscattering, where aerial scattering simply just letsthe ashes fall from the aircraft.

This type of memorial is special, because nomatter where families live they can always lookheavenward and be reminded of their loved one.

Global scattering is a great way to honor andcommemorate a loved one.

Ascension Scattering is a growing memorialtradition that can be performed either in lieu ofor, in many cases, in addition to permanentmemorial services.

The Longmont Wellness CenterMental illnesses don’t discriminate. They

can affect anyone at anytime. Those livingwith a mental illness often die 25 years ear-lier than those without a mental illnessfrom preventable or treatable causes. Thisis why The Mental Health Center ServingBoulder and Broomfield Counties (TheMHCBBC) has spent more than two yearsresearching best practices and outcomes fortreatment and will launch a whole new wayof treating mental illness in Longmont thisN o v e m b e r.

The MHCBBC is a nonprofit organiza-tion whose mission is to improve the quali-ty of life and reduce the burden of mentalillness by providing comprehensive, com-munity-based mental health services forthose with the greatest need.

With offices already located on CoffmanStreet in Longmont, the MHCBBC willcomplete the transformation of theirformer day treatment facility at 834 S.Sherman St. to become The LongmontWellness Center.

Through this facility and the new psy-chosocial rehabilitation (PSR) program,therapists will no longer set goals forclients, but rather meet clients where theyare in their recovery to treat the whole per-son, and not just the symptoms of their ill-ness. In order to save lives and reduce the25 year disparity in life of those living witha mental illness, mental health care andphysical health care will be located in thesame building.

The MHCBBC has formed a partnershipwith Salud to house physician’s assistantsat The Longmont Wellness Center to serveas a portal for clients to easily access prima-ry care.

The MHCBBC will also provide extensivewellness education to clients, helpingclients to maintain a healthy body, as wellas a healthy mind.

The tenet of recovery in mental illness isrooted in the fact that those who have been

diagnosed with a severe mental illness can,and do, get better. The MHCBBC has syn-thesized information from well-regardedprograms across the country to incorporatePSR, cutting edge outpatient services, well-ness and integrated health care delivery intoa comprehensive continuum. This newmodel represents a full partnership withclients, creating state-of-the-art treatmentprograms, which they hope, will serve as themodel for mental health care for the nation.
