In the last six months, more than 500 youth have entered the Montana foster care system, but, with fewer than 60 Youth Dynamics licensed therapeutic foster homes throughout the state, there aren’t enough homes in which to house them. As of August 31, 2015, there were approximately 2,718 youth in the system and only 903 available homes. The housing shortage is reaching critical levels throughout the state, but is particularly dire in Gallatin and Park counties, where local youth are being sent elsewhere to obtain foster placement. And, with anywhere from three to six new referrals for youth needing Youth Dynamics’ foster care placement every week, the future is anything but bright.
fulfillment of knowing that they have helped to change the course of a child’s life.
Currently experiencing staggering statewide foster housing deficits, Youth Dynamics is asking the 20 communities it serves throughout Montana to consider opening their hearts and homes to deserving youth. “We would like to have a base of a minimum of 20 to 30 homes so that we are adequately able to meet the need for youth needing placement,” remarks Katherine Gerten, Public Relations Coordinator. “At this point, every home that we license is immediately filled.”
A Montana-based non-profit since 1981, Youth Dynamics provides family focused behavioral health treatment founded on the principles of an actively caring culture in which people can realize their full potential. “Our top priorities at Youth Dynamics are to deliver the best behavioral health services possible, to keep families together, and to make certain the kids we serve have the opportunity to grow and live in a family,” states Executive Director Peter Degel, PhD. “Our programs and services are focused on promoting partnerships and collaborations to honor these principles.”
Youth Dynamics foster parents provide care to vulnerable youth in their home anywhere from two days a month for respite to two years. Important members of a youth’s treatment team, foster parents implement treatment strategies to help youth manage emotions, build coping skills and recover from severe emotional disturbance, while providing a safe, stable and emotionally secure environment that lays the foundation for recovery. In exchange, foster parents receive support, financial reimbursement and the
The process for becoming a foster parent is fairly simple, involving a background check, application and basic training. Once licensed, foster parents work with a Family Development Coordinator and the clinical staff to find an appropriate match. Foster parents are given full access to a youth’s file and full support of the Youth Dynamics team to ensure that the placement is a good fit. Since a child and foster family’s well-being and success are Youth Dynamics priority, they are committed to affirming that the placement is a healthy fit for all involved.

Bozeman Film Society December Screenings
The Artists’ Gallery will feature the work of Janel Acheson, Marie Melton and Tom Wolfe throughout the month of December. The show will include a featured artist reception during the Bozeman Art Walk on Friday, December 11th, where guests can meet the artists and share a glass of wine.
Looking for an alternative to the standard holiday blockbusters? Join the Bozeman Film Society (BFS) downtown at the Ellen Theatre this December for two highly rated, adult-oriented films! On Tuesday, December 15th, at 7:30 pm, BFS screens Isabel Coixet’s sliceof-life comedy/ drama Learning to Drive, starring Patricia Clarkson as Wendy, a middle-aged book critic who is shattered when her husband Ted (Jake Weber) leaves her. In order to visit her daughter (Grace Gummer), who lives upstate, Wendy begins taking driving lessons from Darwan, impeccably portrayed by Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, an American citizen originally from India who makes a living as a cabbie and giving driving lessons. The two strike-up a friendship that helps her learn to take control of her life, and him adjust to his new life after an arranged marriage. Rated R, the film runs 105 minutes.
Be sure to catch the remarkable new drama, Room, on Wednesday, December 30th, at 7:30 pm! Both highly suspenseful and deeply emotional, Room is a unique and touching exploration of the boundless love between a mother and her child. After five-year-old Jack (Jacob Tremblay) and his Ma (Brie Larson) escape from the enclosed surroundings that Jack has known his entire life, the boy makes a thrilling discovery: the outside world. Rated R, the film runs 115 minutes. Directed by Lenny Abrahamson, Room also features Joan Allen and William H. Macy.
Janel Acheson grew up in Montana and was inspired by her mother’s creativity and artwork along with the outdoors in which she spent a great deal of time. It is important to Janel that her work captures honest and unfiltered moments within nature. “Through my artwork, I strive to bring a level of respect to my animal subjects: large, small, feathery and fuzzy. I am especially interested in capturing their ‘reality,’ which includes every quirk and imperfection.” Marie Melton was born in Montana, but has lived all around the world. She was a photographer for 40 years, but always enjoyed working with her hands through oil and watercolor painting, wood carving and jewelry making. Marie’s latest interest is the exploration uniting fibers and textiles. Tom Wolfe’s intent is to forge items that serve a purpose, are pleasing to the eye, and invite touch. After 30 years as head of MSU’s Farrier School, Tom’s interest in traditional blacksmithing has broadened from practical and therapeutic horseshoeing to creating functional art for the home and garden. Tom’s work focuses on traditional blacksmithing techniques. Joinery is done through the use of rivets, collars, mortise and tenon joints and forge-welds.

The Ellen Theatre Presents Irving Berlin’s White Christmas
December 4th – 22nd, evenings at 7:30 PM, Sunday matinees at 3 PM Tickets: Main Floor/Mezzanine – $19.75, Premium – $29.50, Upper Balcony – $17.00 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas... Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. The all-singing, all-dancing holiday musical is back with a cast of 25 talented performers and a live orchestra. Show biz’ entertainers Bob Wallace and Phil Davis take an unscheduled excursion to Pine Tree, Vermont, accompanied by budding performers Betty and Judy Haynes. Once there, Bob and Phil discover their former WWII commanding officer turned innkeeper, General Waverly, is losing customers due to a lack of snow. This musical adaptation of the perennial family favorite reinforces the importance of camaraderie, love, and counting one’s blessings. As with all musicals here at The Ellen, there is, of course, a toe-tapping happy ending! Presented by Montana TheatreWorks, producers of this summer’s Fiddler on the Roof, this promises to be the biggest Ellen show yet. The cast of gifted singers and dancers are in the spotlight performing several terrific numbers from the movie including Snow, The Best Things Happen While You’re Dancing, Blue Skies, Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep and the title tune White Christmas. Added to the stage adaptation are the Berlin standards, I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, I Love a Piano and more. Thanks to the generous sponsorships from Edward Jones and Allegra Printing, reserved seats are just $19.75. Every year our holiday production sells out. This year’s White Christmas is expected to do the same, so it is advised to purchase tickets early. We don’t want you to be left out in the cold. Brrrrr! Call (406) 585-5885 or visit theellentheatre.

De-Stress with Creative Photo Editing
Let’s face it: the holiday season can be stressful. Heck, any season in life can be. Editing photos can be a potent de-stressor. Really. Granted, we’re not talking about the intense Photoshop type of editing, but the editing provided by the amazing variety of easy-to-use apps available for your iPad or iPhone. Editing with these feels like fun rather than work. They allow you to be almost infinitely creative and are a great antidote to the “fried brain” inherent to overwhelm. They offer an exceptional opportunity to profoundly inhabit the present moment. Editing photos on an iPad can feel a bit like making magic. Bernard L. De Koven writes in Psychology Today, “Imagination is the home of an infinite toy kit wherein lies, for example, your ultimate paintbox with your own, personal, neverdry-until-you-want-it-to brush of many colors.” Yeah. Exactly. Editing can be beautifully social and private all at once. Edit on your flight to visit family and the person in the seat next to you may suddenly be partnering with you on design. Join your family in the living room to watch a holiday movie – even if you’re not tremendously interested in the film – and happily edit photos while they watch. First, of course, is the technology that comes right with an iPad or iPhone: Photos. Briana Bell, who teaches a Photos class at F-11, describes iPad editing as “Super easy, interactive and fun.” Sure, you can edit photos on your iPhone, but the screen on your iPad is bigger, allowing you to see a lot more detail— a handy feature when photo editing. Sometimes you want to turn your photos into real works of printable, framable art. If you don’t have the skills to create art freehand, try out some of these incredible apps and make yourself a masterpiece in minutes. Take one photo and try several different ways. Apps allow you to be completely in charge of the feeling of a photograph. It takes some practice to understand what each app can do for you but that’s OK. All apps take practice and this practice is both creative and fun. Here are some favorite apps from the staff at F-11 Photographic Supplies: • Snapseed – You’ll have so much fun with the variety of effects available here. • Collage it with Pic Collage. • Over – Creative Typography, Graphic Design and Photo Editing. • A Beautiful Mess – make and share pretty photos. • Glaze – turn your photos into paintings with your unique style. • Polarr – some advanced editing capabilities for just about every platform you might work in. The culinary add-on could be great fun over the holidays. When you create something that you really love, save it and back it up. The best way to save and back up is when it is automatic, so consider iCloud, Drop Box or Box for solutions that just work. F-11 Photo’s Briana Bell says, “iCloud is inexpensive, simple and an awesome way to share images between devices.” Ready to print? Using an app like F-11’s “Print and Share” makes that easy too. You can order your photos from the couch in those relaxing moments through the holidays.

Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital Earns “Top Performer on Key Quality Measures®” Recognition from The Joint Commission Cited for Care of Heart Attack, Pneumonia, Surgical Care and Venous Thromboembolism Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital (BHDH) has been named a 2015 Top Performer on Key Quality Measures® by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America, for exemplary performance in using evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care in heart attack, pneumonia, surgical care and VTE (venous thromboembolism or blood clot) prevention. BHDH is one of only 1,043 hospitals – out of more than 3,300 eligible in the U.S. – earning Top Performer distinction for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance. The ratings are based on data reported to The Joint Commission during 2014.
“We understand that what matters most to our patients is safe, effective care,” said David Chen, MD, Interim Dyad CEO and Chief Medical Officer at BHDH. “That’s why Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital has made a commitment to accreditation and to positive patient outcomes through evidencebased care processes. We are proud to receive the distinction of being a Joint Commission Top Performer, because it recognizes the knowledge, teamwork and dedication of every one of our employees.” The Top Performer program recognizes hospitals for improving performance on evidence-based interventions that increase the chances of healthy outcomes for patients with certain conditions. Each
accountability measure represents an evidencebased practice, Chen added, such as giving aspirin at arrival for heart attack patients or giving the right antibiotic in a timely fashion before surgery. “Delivering the right treatment in the right way at the right time is a cornerstone of high-quality health care,” said Mark R. Chassin, MD, FACP, MPP, MPH, president and CEO of The Joint Commission. “I commend the efforts of Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital for their excellent performance on the use of evidence-based interventions.” BHDH was previously named a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures® by The Joint Commission in 2013 for heart attack, pneumonia and surgical care.

Notions: New Work by Maggy Rozycki Hiltner and Shalene Valenzuela Opening Reception: Friday, December 11th, 5 – 8pm
New work by Red Lodge-based textile artist Maggy Rozycki Hiltner and Missoula ceramicist Shalene Valenzuela will be in the tart gallery throughout December. Using graphic mid-century imagery, both artists explore societal expectations and contradictions. Maggy Hiltner combines found vintage embroidery with her own meticulous hand sewing to create work that is bright and charmingly simple on the surface, with a darker twist lurking below. Much of it explores fear, both real and imagined. Shalene Valenzuela’s ceramics combine startlingly realistic trompe l oeil renditions of every day objects with vintage imagery of women and traditionally feminine objects. Beneath the shiny veneer of these relics hides a complex and sometimes contradicting truth of what things seem to appear as upon first glance. Both artists tackle hard issues with humor and subtlety, creating a fascinating dialogue that invites participation from the viewer. The show will be on display through January 16th. Opening reception will be held in tart, rooms 107B & C in the Emerson Center, 111 S. Grand Ave. Call 406.582.0416 or visit www.tartique.com for more information.

Jimmy's First Christmas (on parole) Fridays and Saturdays, December 11th – 19th, 8PM Tickets: $14 Written by local comedic favorite, Ryan Cassavaugh, this hilarious Christmas tale of a family in flux will make its world debut at Verge Theater in December! Jimmy has just been released from the state prison after serving time for a "crime of passion." All he wants is to pick up life where it was interrupted 18 months prior, but life on the outside hasn't remained static. His brother Donnie lives in a state of confusion and paranoia brought on by recreational drug use; Marcie (the cougar next door) has waged Dee-O-Gee_BM_June2015_FINAL_PRINT.pdf war on discretion; his sister-in-law Jackie 1is in6/1/15 need 1:58

If you think Christmas with your family is tough, come and get a dose of hilarious hi-jinx as Jimmy attempts to unravel his family and place them back into the neat packages he desires after months in the slammer.

Great Ways to Help Animals for the Holidays and All Year Long Brought to you by Pam McCutcheon, Small Dog Realty
1. Donate dog and cat food to your local food bank. When folks can't afford food for their beloved pets, they end up in animal shelters. Let's help folks keep their furry family members. 2. Help an elderly person take their dogs for a walk. It’s especially hard for the elderly to get out and walk their pets when it’s cold and icy. 3. Skip the pet stores and puppy mills! A lot of those expensive dogs end up in shelters; you can get your pure breed much cheaper and do a good thing. 4. Think adoption! Many wonderful pets end up in shelters through no fault of their own. Unfortunate circumstances such as relocation, lack of preparedness or commitment, new baby, etc. are often the culprits. Great dogs end up at shelters!
9. Always have baggies of dog food in your car for the homeless pets that are on the corners of our streets. 10. You can transport dogs from different shelters to find new owners. If you have time, why not! 5. Volunteer at your local animal shelter! Walk dogs, cuddle cats and help spread the word about these wonderful pets. 6. Donate money to animal shelters. You can also donate items on their wish lists, like dog beds and igloos, food or other supplies. 7. Network! Use your social media platforms to let folks know how important it is to spay and neuter their pets. Share dogs on FB that could be on death row; you could save a life!!
There are over 30 Montana animal shelters and, trust me, not all shelters are equal! The folks that run them are amazing, but some of the conditions are real tearjerkers. I stay awake on many a cold night thinking about those dogs that are outside in cages when it's 20 below and the wind is blowing. Visit Montana Pets On The Net at www.montanapets.org, www. smalldogrealty.com or Pam McCutcheon/Small Dog Realty/Facebook for more information. If you want to get more involved feel free to contact me at 406.220.2013.
8. Become a foster dog or cat parent.

WO Design Announces the WO|Disc USA-made Dog Toy Helps Orphaned Children in Ethiopia
Bozeman-based WO Design launched their second WO product this October. The WO|Disc is a fresh new concept in the world of flying dog frisbees and tug toys, with unique benefits for canine companions and a compelling social mission: each WO|Disc sold will feed orphaned children in Ethiopia. There are 4.5 million orphans in Ethiopia. What if a new dog frisbee or tug toy could provide two home-cooked meals for an orphan in Ethiopia? Now, it's possible, with the WO|Disc from WO Design! WO (sounds like "whoa") Design’s mission is to create, manufacture and sell consumer products that directly help widows and orphans in developing countries. Each WO|Disc sold will fund home-cooked lunches for orphaned children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. These meals are often the highest source of nutrition in their day. In partnership with Bring Love In (BLI), WO Design supports efforts to create "forever families" by matching widows and orphans in creation of local family units in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia. Each WO|Disc sold provides funds directly earmarked for meals for orphaned children at BLI in Ethiopia. "You can help create tangible change globally by partnering with WO Design to buy a USA-made dog toy for your favorite furry companion and, resultantly, feed orphaned children," states WO Design founder Josh Allen. "When was the last time you bought a dog toy and helped feed an orphan in need?" Engineered with the proprietary soft and durable WO pet material, the WO|Disc cuts through the air, and floats in the lake. The pliable material allows your dog to pick it up from flat surfaces with ease and will not hurt or damage their soft mouth. With an eight-inch diameter, the size of the WO|Disc is appropriate for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Additionally, no PVCs or harmful materials for you or your canine are found in WO pet material; it’s FDA approved and BPA-free. Guaranteed durable and designed to be recyclable, the WO|Disc features the WO signature "divots and bumps" texture that is sure to make this flying dog frisbee your dog's favorite toy around the house or at the park. For dogs that aren't into frisbees or retrieving, the WO|Disc functions to engage dogs in a game of tug. Either way, canines are happy and orphaned kids halfway around the world get warm meals! Each WO product is designed, produced and packaged in Bozeman. So, with each WO|Disc sold there is tangible global change and local economic support. Learn more about WO Design’s story and mission at www.wodesign.com or visit the RocketHub campaign page for the WO|Disc at http://bit.ly/wodiscRH.
