New brides are trans-forming something oldinto something new.That’s according to thelatest bridal tabletoptrends.

While in recent yearsbrides have been regis-tering for casual dinner-ware, lately industryexperts are seeingbrides returning to finechina. Sales indicatethey’re opting for porce-lain and bone china,which are more durablethan stoneware becausethese mediums are lesslikely to chip.

sellers, ranging inshades from pure whiteto ecru, with gold trimmaking a resurgenceamong millennialbrides.

But in an emergingtrend, observers arefinding vintage is vogue.

“Brides are embrac-ing heirloom patternsfor a number of rea-sons,” says Keith Win-kler, product marketingmanager at Replace-ments, Ltd. “First of all,there’s a strong, emo-tional connection tothose inherited piecesbecause it ties them tofamily and tradition. At

the same time, vintageis huge throughout thefashion industry, andthat’s impacting dinner-ware trends. Brides arehanging onto Grandma’schina, but they’re alsolooking to give familytreasures a more con-temporary spin.”

Breast cancer, coloncancer, leukemia andmany other forms of thedisease have well-knowndiagnostic tests, receivelots of media attention,and have many famousspokespersons leadingfundraising efforts.

Yet there’s anothercancer that is just asserious and can have amuch better outcome ifdetected early – oralcancer.

According to the OralCancer Foundation(oralcancer.org), nearly42,000 Americans will bediagnosed with oral orpharyngeal cancer thisyear, resulting in morethan 8,000 deaths, orroughly one person perhour, 24 hours per day.The foundation hopes tochange that by shining aspotlight on oral cancerand designates April OralCancer AwarenessMonth. Daytime talkshow host and noted cook-

ing expert Rachael Raypromoted the event onher teleivision showthroughout the month.

Locally, Dr. Timothy J.Kitzmiller, DDS, recog-nizes the effort.

“We urge people tocome in for a screeningbecause the prognosis fororal cancer is much bet-ter with early detection,”said Dr. Kitzmiller. “Infact, we screen for oralcancer with every clean-ing and dental examweperform.”

Another screeningavailable from Dr. Kitz-miller is for ObstructiveSleep Apnea, or OSA. SaidLori Kitzmiller, Dr. Kitz-miller’s wife and the

treatment coordinator atCincinnati Dental SleepMedicine, their associat-ed practice dedicated tohelping people with OSA:“Just as potentially life-threatening as oral can-cer, OSA can lead to ma-jor health concerns if leftuntreated, including highblood pressure, diabetes,heart attack and stroke.”

Dr. Kitzmiller hasbeen practicing dentistryin Milford for more than20 years and has helpedthousands of familiesthroughout the Tristatewith their dental andsleep apnea needs. Cin-cinnati Dental SleepMedicine and his dentaloffice are located in Mil-ford at 5722 Signal HillCourt, Suite A, at theState Route 28 and I-275interchange.

Dr. Kitzmiller’s officehours are MondaythroughWednesday 8a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thurs-day 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.m

Here areher recommendations fortaking your spring cui-sine to a new level:

» Spruced-up salads:Healthy greens start toappear early in springand are a great compan-ion to nuts. Try topping achopped Arugula saladwith walnuts or addingpecans to Dandeliongreens. Radicchio is deli-cious with almonds andapples. Using nuts can

easily expand your saladhorizon.

» Top it off: Spring-time brings garden-freshherbs; parsley and basilare great flavors to finishmany dishes. Chop upparsley with some Fisheralmonds for added tex-ture and taste. The Fish-er Nuts Freshness SealBag has a re-sealableclosure that will keep theleftover nuts fresh.

» Upgraded spice rub:The great spring weathermakes it easy to fire upthe grill. Add some

ground nuts to your spicerub next time you’recooking meat. The nutscan mellow some of theheat from the spice andadd needed richness tothe mix.

And who can forgetabout dessert? Straw-berries are some of theearliest arriving berries;you can’t go wrong withChef Guarnaschelli’srecipe for strawberrycrostatas with walnuts.

April is designatedOral Cancer AwarenessMonth to increase aware-ness about the preven-tion and treatment oforal cancer. Approxi-mately 42,000 people inthe U.S. will be newlydiagnosed with oral can-cer this year. Dentistsare often the first line ofdefense against oralcancer, through the proc-ess of early discovery.

Oral cancer is one ofthe few cancers that areon the rise in the U.S.When found early, oralcancers have an 80 per-cent or better survivalrate. Oral cancer screen-ings can be an effective

means of finding cancerat its earliest andmosteasily treatable stage. Anoral cancer screening isthe least invasive andtime-consuming, is pain-less and inexpensive.Oral cancer screeningsshould be a routine ele-ment of dental hygieneand dental appointments.Visiting the dentist twicea year for checkups/cleanings will ensurethat you will catch anysigns of oral cancer fair-ly quickly. MortensonFamily Dental uses amore progressive oralcancer detection systemcalled Velscope that isquick, painless and taste-

less and can catch trou-ble spots before they canbe seen by the nakedeye.

What can you do toprevent oral cancer?

»Don’t smoke or usetobacco products.

»Drink alcohol inmoderation.

» Eat a well-balanceddiet, especially withvegetables containingVitamin A.

» Protect your lipsfromUV exposure.

Be preventative! Stoptobacco use, limit alcoholconsumption and visityour dentist regularly,and you just may be oralcancer-free for life.m

spaces look larger. Anddon’t forget glass-topdining tables and cock-tail tables. “These piecesvirtually disappear tothe eye, leaving a senseof openness,” said AlmaRohrer, long-time designconsultant with BestFurniture.

» Rearrange yourspace. It’s the best trickto make yourself feellike you have a wholenew room. As you ex-periment, you’ll finddifferent ways to useyour limited space. “Tryan arrangement thatbreaks your room intoseveral functionalzones,” said Carolynn.“Float furniture awayfrom the walls to creategroupings – TV-watchingzone, dining area, homeoffice – to make the mostuse of your space.” Bestrecommends flexiblepieces that can do dou-

ble-duty and modularfurniture, such as sec-tional sofas that split upinto smaller pieces forflexibility.

» Give it a raise. Visu-ally increase the heightof your room with tallfurnishings. “Verticallines draw the eye up, sotry a tall bookshelf. Onewith open shelves,known as an étagère,offers display space aswell as extra storage,which is always welcomein small spaces,” offeredCraig.

»Make an entrance.Literally! If you don’thave an official foyer orhall, creating one with aconsole table or hall treeis a snap. An entrance ismore than just a place tohang coats, leave shoesand drop keys; it’s a wel-coming area that sets thetone for the rest of yourhome. “Depending on the

size of the area by yourdoor, you could fit a shal-low bookshelf, a smallbench, and a basket forgloves and scarves,”added Carolynn.

Speaking of book-shelves, benches andbaskets, The Design Loftat Best Furniture Gal-lery has been relocatedin the showroom to theMezzanine level.

help transforming familytreasures.

“It doesn’t matterwhether inherited dinner-ware is decades old, pat-terns are timelessthrough the magic ofmixing and matching,”says Griffith. “I suggestusing your heirloom pat-tern as a starting point,then mixing in variouscolors, shapes and evenother mediums such asglass or acrylics. By cre-ating a sort of ‘retro re-mix,’ you can dress upyour sentimental favoritefor formal entertaining,or just as easily dressdown your tableware fora casual evening withfriends.”

For example, Griffithsays mixing in square

salad plates with roundshaped dinnerware cre-ates art deco flair. Mixingdifferent colored platesor glass can open up anentire new color palette.

He’s adamant; don’t beafraid to be bold and trysomething new.

“I recently had a cus-tomer come in with anheirloom goblet she want-ed to match,” he says.“We didn’t have anypieces in her pattern, so Iinstead zeroed in on adesign element with thegoblet, in this case thestem style on the glass. Iadded in four additionalcrystal patterns, all witha similar stem design. Bymatching that particulardesign element, we cre-ated a really elegant,contemporary look.”

Roof repairs keep thephones ringing off thehook at Rooftime thistime of the year.

“Wow, business hasbeen, well, going throughthe roof,” laughed officemanager Missy Shoemak-er. “From now throughthe summer, we staybusy.”

Rooftime does morethan just Owens Corningroof systems. “We arecertified as a Top of theHouse contractor byOwens Corning, one ofonly three here in ourarea,” she continued. “Sowe get a lot of calls aboutattic insulation, Veluxskylights and gutterwork, but roof calls leadthe way.”

Shoemaker adds: “Ourcalls range from requestsfor help in fixing themistakes made by otherroofers that are causingroofs to begin to leak, toreplacing a roof, andeverything in between.After a few rainy days,shoddy installation errorsbecome noticeable to ahomeowner, and whenthey try to get their roof-er to come back, they findout that he has moved onto his next victim.”

To avoid becomingfrustrated, she adviseshomeowners to considera company’s Better Busi-ness Bureau file, an An-gie’s List Super ServiceAward, and referencesthat a homeowner cancall and check. “We are anon-licensed industry,unlike plumbers andelectricians,” she says.“And that opens the door

for poor workmanshipand roofs being replacedwhe a repair would haveworked.”

Many roofing compa-nies don’t like to deal withrepairs “because there’sno money in it” or theydon’t like trying to fixsomeone else’s mistake.But Rooftime has noproblem diagnosing aroof’s problem and bid-

Thermal camerascan of atticaverts prematureroofing failure

FIVE OF THEMOST COMMON REQUESTS FOR ROOF REPAIRSCONTRACTOR ROOFTIME GETS FROMAREA HOMEOWNERS:» 1. Missing shingles. A piece of shingle in the yard is an obvious sign. But in many

cases, homeowners don’t know there’s a problem until a stain or spot shows up on theceiling inside. The best way to prevent a leak is to get the roof inspected every couple ofyears. Rooftime offers free estimates that can include color digital pictures and a thermalcamera scan to pinpoint any problems.» 2. Flashing leaks. Most often, leaks occur in the flashing area where metalwork is

installed at any penetration detail on the roof, spots where proper workmanship is espe-cially important, for example, a chimney, a skylight, a pipe boot or a wall.» 3. Gutters. The gutter system is only as good as the way it is installed. Rooftime finds

a lot of gutters improperly fastened to begin with, so they loosen quickly. Gutters are firstcleaned and then properly secured, making sure the pitching is right for drainage andthat the end caps and miters are sealed to prevent leaking.» 4. Skylights. A skylight that needs to be replaced or one that has been compromised

in some manner usually brings a Rooftime crew out. A lot of roofers don’t like to dealwith skylights because they are somewhat complicated and often come from many differ-ent manufacturers. Skylights have come a long way and you should be OK as long as youhave a good-quality window with proper installation on a pitched roof.» 5. Ventilation, Insulation, Radiation. A repair we often find in the summer occurs

in homes that are older and need to be properly balanced for proper air flow. If you don’thave good air flow through the attic, shingles will prematurely fail and cause leaks. Thesun beating down on the roof raises the surface temperature by 20 to 40 degrees daily.The last thing you want is for the underside of the roof to be heated and “cooking.”Having at least 20 inches of attic insulation and a radiation barrier will reduce the insideattic temperature by 50 degrees, making your home cooler and the AC working less,saving your energy bill.

ding a repair, if it’s allthat is needed. “It’s thebuilding block of ourcompany,” Shoemakersays. “Most folks who wedo repairs for call us backwhen other work needs tobe done. We build a rela-tionship and that evolvesinto other work – sky-

lights, gutters and atticinsulation. Our estimatorsdo not earn commissions,so they only bid what youneed. If a couple hundreddollar repair will fix yourhome, we won’t try to tellyou differently.”

Rooftime understandsthat roofing is first andforemost a service indus-try. As Greg Lykins, aRoof time foreman says:“You don’t hire us for theshingles, you hire us for

the roof. Anyone can buyshingles from a store andnail them on, but we havethe training, skill andexperience to install ev-erything your homeneeds, correctly the firsttime around.”

The cloud isn’t just fortech elites – it can makelife easier no matter how

tech-savvy you are.Whether you’re heading aglobal conglomerate orare simply the head ofyour kid’s soccer team,the cloud can helpstreamline what you needto do online. Beyondchecking email, the cloudlets you work with otherpeople online with docu-ments that can be editedsimultaneously, storelarge files so you don’thave to keep them onhand, and easily accessand share important pho-tos and personal docu-ments, like travel plans.

There are two simpleways you can start seeingthe many benefits of thecloud immediately. First,personal cloud emailservices make staying intouch with friends, fam-ily, and professional con-tacts easy.

April is Oral CancerAwareness Month, a timeset aside to shine a spot-light on the causes andprevention of oral cancer.

At Tri-State FamilyDentistry, Drs. TiffanyBuller-Schussler andMeganWeisenberger usethis month to teach theirpatients more about thislesser-known cancer.

“Oral cancer refers tocancers of the lips,cheeks, tongue, gums,floor and roof of themouth and the area be-hind the wisdom teeth,”explained Dr. Buller-Schussler.

“We use our eyes toexamine all these areasand we feel the interiorof the mouth with ourfingers to detect anychanges in texture of thetissue,” Dr. Buller-Schussler said.

“We also feel external-ly for the presence ofswollen lymph nodes orother masses in the neckor under the chin andjaw,” said Dr. Buller-Schussler. “Oral cancerscreening is a routinepart of all our oral ex-ams, no matter what thepatient comes in for.”

Dr. Buller-Schussleradds, “During April, wehope the increased atten-tion on oral cancer moti-vates patients to come infor a checkup or changebehaviors that may becontributing to theirchances of getting thiscancer.”

In fact, according toDr. Buller-Schussler, 85

percent of oral cancersare linked to tobacco andthe risk is greater ifheavy alcohol use is alsopresent. Human Papillo-ma Virus (HPV) has alsobeen linked to some oralcancers, and sun expo-sure can lead to cancer ofthe lips.

Even though April hasbeen designated OralCancer AwarenessMonth, Drs. Buller-Schussler and Weisen-berger emphasize thattheir approach to den-tistry is the care andwellness of the entireoral cavity for everypatient every day of theyear.

Dr. Buller-Schussleradds, “Even patients withdentures, who think theydon’t need to see theirdentist, should still comein for yearly oral check-ups.”

Memory loss can bepainful for family mem-bers and their loved onealike. Emeritus at Edge-wood has an innovativememory-care approach,“Join Their Journey,”which provides choicesto meet the needs of eachresident and his/her fam-ily at each stage of thedisease process, saidKris Hicks, MemoryCare Program director.

“We recognize individ-uality, encourage choicesand allow them dignity tolive in a way that feelsfamiliar to them, (by)writing a ‘Life Story’ foreach resident when theyfirst become part of theEmeritus family,” saidHicks.

Ongoing wellnessincludes individual pref-erences, with help fromthe resident’s family.This lets the EmeritusMemory Care Team iden-tify breakfast-time fa-vorites, shower choices,and any particular likesand dislikes.

The dining experienceprovides comfort andsocial relationships aswell as nourishment,with three meals a dayand three opportunitiesfor snacks and refresh-ments.

“We serve the mealsfamily-style … plenty ofseconds, if something is afavorite, (based) on the

information in ‘Life Sto-ry.’ ”

Each resident’s “LifeStory” provides for asupportive environmentand life-enrichment ac-tivities.

“They may enjoy ourscreened-in porch, helpin the gardens or listen tomusic in the livingroom,” said Hicks.“These activities arepersonalized, conductedin large and small groups

and may include staffmembers, family mem-bers or volunteers.”

Through family part-nerships and ongoingMemory Care Team

training, the Emeritusstaff is successfullymeeting the needs of itsresidents and their fam-ilies.

“We will be with our

‘family’ during eachstage of their journey, sowe can provide the bestcare for our residentsand their families,”Hicks added.m
