The kids are back to school Listen to what one of Gentle Dental Care'spatients has to say:

Dr. Dallmann and Staff,I can't tell you how pleased I am with the servic-es you provided. I've put off going to the dentist foryears because I feared the sounds of the drill andsome of the instruments used. I couldn't believe howcomfortable I was during my visits. A little sedation(nitrous), some headphones w/music and a heatedneck roll made my experience wonderful. I actuallylooked forward to going to the dentist! I appreciatehow you and your staff didn't make me feel guiltyfor not visiting the dentist in so many years. Thatwas a big part of my procrastination, the embarrass-ment of how long it had been. The phone calls tocheck on me were also a nice personal touch.

I am also in the healthcare field and hope thatour patients feel as pleased as I was with your serv-ice. I've told many people about my experience inyour office and would recommend it to anyone.

Do you snore or knowsomeone who does? Doyou have Sleep Apnea butstruggle nightly with yourCPAP machine?

You’re not alone! An estimated 40 mil-

lion Americans snore andnearly 20 million haveSleep Apnea, a conditionwhere the airway collaps-es during sleep, causingthe person to stop breath-ing and awaken multipletimes every hour with agasp.

Sleep Apnea is a lifethreatening sleep disorderthat left undiagnosed anduntreated can shortenyour lifespan up to 18years! While CPAP is thegold standard of sleep

apnea treatment, manypeople can’t tolerate themasks and pressure. Anoral appliance is an FDAapproved CPAP alterna-tive that fits over yourteeth and holds the lowerjaw forward, keepingyour airway from collaps-ing. A sleep apnea suffererhimself, Dr. Kitzmillerand his wife Lori knowfirsthand the disruptionsthat untreated Sleep

Apnea can cause.“We used to think that

Tim’s snoring was nor-mal, but when he wouldstop breathing for up to20 seconds at a time andthen wake with a gasp, Igot scared. After beingdiagnosed with SleepApnea he tried CPAP buthis sleeping habits madeit too difficult to use. Nowthat he’s using an OralAppliance we both sleepgreat!” said LoriKitzmiller.

Burlington PharmacyHealth Care has providedanswers and advice forpatients and their caretak-ers for more than 34 years,and for the last six years,owners Steve Mueller andAngie Gambrell haveadded pharmaceuticalcompounding to the serv-ices they offer to their cus-tomers.

“The pharmaceuticaltradition is rooted in com-pounding,” said Mueller,president and CEO of thecompany, as well as thepharmacist. “Withchanges in medicine nec-essary to living a longerlife, there is a need formedicine to be more indi-vidualized to the patient,exactly as it was beforeWorld War II, althoughwe have more knowledgenow.”

Although there weresome drugs that were pro-duced in great supplyduring the war, like sulfa,penicillin and morphine,once the war ended tech-nology took over andcompanies started to massproduce drugs in order tomake them more readilyavailable.

“However, what we arefinding is that over time,mass-produced medicinedoesn’t work on a lot ofpeople because everyoneis unique, and has aslightly different body,”explained Mueller.“Suppose you have highblood pressure and themedicine you are on is notkeeping the blood pres-sure under control. Thedoctor might double thedose, to see how it works,because that is the dosagein each pill. But maybeyou only need one and ahalf, or one and a quarterdose to keep your blood

pressure where you needit to be. If you come in toBurlington Pharmacy, wecan discuss your medica-tions, and see what alter-natives are available, thendiscuss with your doctorwhat actual dosage willwork for you.”

All of the compoundsused in the on site apothe-cary are FDA approved.Only one other pharmacyin Northern Kentucky,and several in Cincinnati,are qualified to compoundthe chemicals to tailor theprescribed medicine to thepatient, although there areothers across the country,and the practice is gainingin popularity.

“We belong toProfessional Compound-ing Centers of America, agroup of pharmacies whobanded together to under-line our credibility andgive our customers agreater sense of security,”said Mueller. “Althoughwe have always offeredcompounding, having a

professional organizationbehind us, as well as FDAapproved ingredients,lends support with bothpatients and doctors.”

Currently Mueller doescompounding in hor-mone, pain and thyroiddrugs, for people and foranimals, as he works witharea veterinarians to pro-vide the correct dosage ofdrugs for their patients.

Burlington Pharmacy,located on NorthbendRoad, is well renownedfor providing walkers,wheelchairs, canes, pros-theses and other needs ofall patients, as well asover the counter drugs,shoes and stockings fordiabetics, and braces foralmost any kind of muscle

or arthritic strain. Butmany people don’t realizethat the same store theyhave gone to for all theirmedical needs and advicealso can tailor their medi-cines.

“Even though we havebeen compounding, andwe tell people that, I’mnot sure people knowwhat compounding is,”stated Mueller. “Whenyou think of it as tailoringthe medicine you need towhat your body can toler-ate, you can make themedicine work for youbetter, and you won’thave as many side effects,which can happen witheven a little too muchmedicine.”

Next, measure yourspace. Determine the width,height and depth and writethem down. Is your closet areach-in, walk-in, or are youcreating it from freestand-ing space? Have high ceil-ings? Add a shelf to storeitems overhead.

When planning, consid-er designating 50 percent ofyour closet space for low-hanging clothes, 25 percentfor longer clothes, and 25percent for drawers andshelves. Then, take invento-ry of your stuff and makeadjustments to meet yourpersonal needs.

Use a tower unit to sepa-rate his space from hers andincorporate shelves anddrawers. Use pant racks toorganize 12 pairs of pants ina compact space whilekeeping them smooth andpressed. Use shelves fororganizing folded sweatersso they keep their properform. Raise shoes off thefloor. Look for shoe cubbiesthat comfortably hold twoshoes, not just one. Shoecubbies are also ideal forstowing away evening bags,belts and other personalitems.Courtesy of ARAcontent

When people think ofscuba diving, many placescome to mind – Fiji,Hawaii, the CaymanIslands, St. Lucia, theBahamas, the Red Sea,Galapagos and Australia.But what those same peo-ple may not realize is thatevery weekend, from Junethrough October, hun-dreds of Cincinnati resi-dents head out for a dayor two of scuba diving atlocal recreational divesites.

“Local scuba divingmay not be diving in atropical paradise, but itdoes allow certified scubadivers to enjoy a few ofthe things they love aboutdiving, such as spending

time in another world,and experiencing theweightless wonder of ‘fly-ing without wings’,” saidJim Barrie the owner ofThe Scuba Shack inFlorence.

“While there are notropical fish or ocean seacreatures in our localwaters, there are numer-ous fresh water fish andturtles. And even thoughthere are no beautifulcoral reefs here, there area myriad of interestingrock formations andunderwater plants. Wealso have plenty ofsunken boats, airplanes,

helicopters and otherthings to explore under-water at our local divesites.”

The Scuba Shack islocated on KentuckyRoute 18, “just around the

corner from FlorenceMall.” In addition toscuba certification train-ing, The Shack offers certi-fied scuba divers theopportunity to go oninstructor-escorted localdive outings most week-ends from June throughOctober. They also con-duct several special eventdiving days that includethe Great UnderwaterScavenger Hunt inAugust, and the GreatUnderwater PumpkinCarving Contest inOctober.

A typical local dive dayconsists of meeting with

dive buddies, driving to alocal dive site, gearing up,and doing a few dives todepths of 20 to 40 feet.Between dives, “surfaceinterval” time is spent eat-ing, socializing and plan-

ning the nextdive.

“Becausescuba diving is 95percent social,divers also gatherfor The ScubaShack’s manysocial gatheringsknown as ClubAquarius

events,” said Barrie. “Wehave ‘Shack Doggie’ cook-outs, ‘Walk In’ outdoormovie nights and travelparties, which are fre-quently held on Shack’sParty Patch behind theshop.”

If scuba diving is onyour Bucket List of thingsto do someday, The ScubaShack offers free “TryScuba” sessions in theirindoor heated pool. Visitthe Web site,www.TheScubaPlace.com,or call 283-1550 for moreinformation, or to sched-ule your very own TryScuba Experience.

Scuba diving... It’s like flying without wings

“Because scuba diving is 95 percent social, diversalso gather for The Scuba Shack's many social

gatherings known as Club Aquarius events.”

Burlington from page 5“We believe this serv-

ice of compounding goesone step further to pro-vide the very best overallhelp to our customers,”said Mueller. “Peoplehave always depended on

us to help them take careof themselves and theirloved ones, and we wantto go the extra milebecause we know theytrust our company.”

It is a common com-plaint: Roof shingles thatfail too soon, leaving frus-trated homeowners ask-ing; why didn’t it last?

Roof Time has theanswer. According toJustin Shoemaker, a com-pany estimator, it has todo with far more than theshingles. “Shingles todayare well made, butdepend on what I call the‘Energy Trilogy.’ heexplains. “It’s due to theventilation, insulation andradiation, not being prop-erly balanced.”

The problem startswith unbalanced ventila-tion, not enough atticinsulation, and no radia-tion barrier. Ventilationand insulation are now

required by code, but aradiation barrier is not.Therefore, most buildersand roofers don’t take itinto consideration, accord-ingto

Shoemaker.Roof Time conducts a

free Energy Audit check-up with every quote. Byusing a thermal imagecamera (like the ones thecable TV ghost huntersuse) and digital ther-mometer, their estimatorscan pinpoint the problemareas that hide under theroof.

Roof Time is an Owens

Corning PreferredContractor and is one ofonly three roofers locallywho have obtained theadded certification as aTOP OF THE HOUSEroofer- attic insulator.

A Roof Time quoteincludes options for

installing a roof ventila-tion system that meets orexceeds the FHA specifi-cation; increases the atticinsulation to the DOE rec-ommended level of R-60,and installing a radiantbarrier that reduces theattic’s temperature by asmuch as 50 degrees everyday. Using these tech-niques Roof Time is confi-dant that most homeown-ers can extend their roof’s

warranty. “Homeowners tell us

every day that when theycompare our bid to otherroofers, we are doing somuch more; but our pricematches up with theirother quotes,” Shoemakersaid. A proper attic will

pay immediate dividendstoo, as you’ll be able tosave 20% on your month-ly energy bill and receiveas much as $1,500 in taxcredits.

Rooftime began back in1995, when Ricky Feltnerand his wife, Sandy, start-ed a small family busi-ness. By 1999, PreferredRoofing’s four estimators(which included one sonand one son-in-law) and

terrific work crews hadearned a ranking in theTop 100 Contractors inAmerica, and had sales inexcess of $2 million!

Ricky passed away atthe end of 1999, and thecompany struggled tocarry on without his

dynamic leadership.Today Ricky’s legacyhas been preserved byno less than five roof-ing contractors that

were once part of hisvision, all successfullyoperating their own com-panies using the sameprinciples and ideals heestablished over 15 yearsago.

Roof Time is a truefamily-owned and operat-ed business with deepcommunity roots; over 15year’s business experi-ence, and is now into theirthird generation of serv-ing Cincinnati andNorthern Kentucky.Today, Sandy is stillanswering the calls (evenat nights and on theweekends) and Ricky’sgrandson Justin is now aproject estimator.

Roof Time’s attentionto the details has earnedthem the prestigiousAngie’s List Super ServiceAward for the past fouryears in a row as well asThe Community PressReaders’ Choice FavoriteRoofer for 2009!

Estimators arrive ontime and prepared, inneatly lettered vehiclesand uniforms; inspect theattic portion of the roof,then inspect and measurefrom the roof top (notfrom the ground like mostcompanies have started todo). An estimate can beprepared right from theirvehicles or e-mailed backthe same day!

Estimates are free andinclude color digital pictures
