BUSINESS REVIEW
FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS 311 South Cedar Street, Imlay City, Mich. 48444 810-724-1989 Country living – peaceful, quiet and far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. But that doesn't mean the less urban areas depend any less on technology. In fact, to many living outside the city limits, a reliable Internet connection is a critical link to business associates, distant family, education, and entertainment. When it comes to bridging the peaceful country life into the buzz and hum of the global economy, Frontier Communications plays a leading role in eastern Michigan. "We are a new provider of high-speed Internet in the Milford, White Lake, Highland area," says General Manager of the East Central Michigan district, Sarah Norat-Phillips. "We are a 'rural communication specialist. We are moving out into communities that for the most part have had no options other than dialup or satellite Internet. We are the only provider of dependable, high-speed Internet connections that many rural communities and townships have ever had." Frontier came to the East Central Michigan market in July 2010 when it bought the landline operations previously owned by Verizon. Frontier now has more than 500 employees in Michigan alone and 2,500 in the Midwest. In that short time, Frontier has invested over $300 million to enhance its network and expand Internet access throughout Michigan and Indiana. Frontier now can reach more than 140,000 additional households with high-speed Internet, and 44,000 of those are in eastern Michigan alone. By the end of this year, Frontier will offer high-speed Internet to more than 80 percent of the Michigan markets it represents, up from about 38 percent statewide just two years ago. All of this investment was made during tough economic times, and helps explain why Frontier Communications was voted "Company of the Year" by the Imlay City Chamber in 2011. "When you live in a developed area or an urban center, you are used to having high-speed Internet. You don't realize there are still people who only have dial-up Internet services," says Ms. Norat-Phillips. Even though communities like Milford, White Lake and Highland are growing and
Sarah Norat-Phillips, General Manager of the East Central Michigan District for Frontier Communications, has been active in the area for over 20 years. As the General Manager for a Detroit-area TV station, she was introduced to clients in the Milford, White Lake, and Highland communities and established relationships with area ad agencies and the business community. She says Frontier's commitment to local involvement is a key factor in the company's success, as Frontier's employees live and work in the communities that they serve. becoming popular places to live, many of those residents faced extremely limited options for Internet — until Frontier. If you have a Frontier landline phone, it's quite likely that you also have access to its highspeed Internet services. This also applies to business owners who may not have cable access or are looking for an alternative to what they already have. Norat-Phillips heads up the local office and has been active in the area for over 20 years. As the General Manager for a Detroit-area TV station, she was introduced to clients in the Milford, White Lake, Highland communities and established relationships with area ad agencies and the business community. She says Frontier's commitment to local involvement is a key factor in the
company's success. "Our employees live and work in the communities that they serve," Norat-Phillips explains. "That's how we approach all our hiring. We think it's important that customers be able to talk to a local manager or a local business consultant who can address their needs, whether it's a home hooking up to the Internet for the first time or a communication-intensive business seeking a better, cost-effective solution." Frontier employees are active in their communities as well by sponsoring events and having a physical presence in the community. "We want to be able to provide the communication services that people need and we also want to play a part in enhancing the quality of life in the
communities we serve by volunteering and being involved," says Norat-Phillips. "That's an important part of who we are. It's an old-school way of doing business. "Most companies our size tend to relocate operations into centralized locations or even move jobs overseas. We have chosen to locate our district office right here in East Central Michigan. If you come into my office, you'll likely see me answering my phone and giving out our local management phone numbers to customers so if they have issues they can reach out to us and we can take care of them."

The Brown family has lived in the area for three decades and is dedicated to the region. This unique balance has enabled us to transform a business of selling into a business of people. Jewelry commemorates the special times in all of our lives — a special birthday, an engagement, the birth of a child, an anniversary. Jewelry has a unique way of telling someone how much

For the past four decades, the doctors at Oral and Facial Surgeons of Michigan have strived to treat patients with the utmost care by using knowledge and technology. The latest technology is the Cone Beam Cat scan. Dr. Bryan J. Johnson, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, uses the technology extensively. "This allows us to give the most accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment possible," he explained. "We can obtain these images with a ten-fold decrease in radiation. The scan is equal to being outside for five days. Not necessarily standing in the sun but just from being outside." The new technology has a number of uses. "We use it for our own surgical
OFSMI uses the latest technology in the Cone Beam Cat scan. patients and we can use if for facial trauma and reconstructive surgery," he explained. OFSMI also allows other clinics to send their patients in to use the new technology, as well. "This can be used for sleep airway studies because we can threedimensionally look at the airway and see where it is narrow," Dr. Johnson said. "It can be used in the dental field for orthodontics and for people who need braces to see where the crowing is." The uses for the technology seem unlimited. The 3D imaging even allows doctors to use CAD CAM technology to plan procedures. For more information, contact the office at 248-674-0303. Check out their website at www.ofsmi.com. ❏

Shingled roofs look incredible — when they are brand new or not very old. But as they age they can get black mold streaks and moss or algae. But they don't have to anymore. Dave Spencer of Spencer Roofing has been working on a solution to keep your roofs looking their best. "I started working on the idea about four years ago and just got it patented," Spencer said. "It's the Copper Algae Treatment or CAT." What Spencer has created and will soon be selling is a unique device that when attached to your roof, helps keep it clean and free from mold, algae, and moss. "Most roofers' solution is to come out and clean it but that puts more wear and tear on your roof and decreases the lifespan of your roof. So I wanted to

KINDEST CARE ANYWHERE
CARROLL LK. S. COMMERCE
Starting a family is quite an endeavor and having the right doctor to help you understand the process and be there at every step is important. Dr. Jeffrey B. Miller and Dr. Steven J. Friedman of Huron Valley OB-GYN know that. With almost 50 years of combined experience, Dr. Friedman and Dr. Miller offer the "kindest care anywhere." "We are two practices in one office," Dr. Miller said. "While Dr. Friedman and I share the same office, we both have our individual patients. You will be delivered by the doctor you see, and be seen by that doctor for each appointment." When asked why he decided against being a part of a group practice, Dr. Miller stated, "When too many doctors are treating the same patient they don't always coordinate with one another. I decided that I wanted to know what was going on with my patients at each appointment from the beginning to the

come up with something different." In studying copper, he discovered that what makes copper strong are the sulfates that come out of it and mix with water. So Spencer devised a strip of copper with divots that actually hold water but also releases it. So any rain or dew activate the sulfates and continually cleans the roof. "I went through years of experience and finally got it developed and it just works phenomenal," he said. Spencer will be selling CAT in the upcoming months.
