:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 1, No. 2 TM

Publisher Derrick Breaux

On a Mission to Get Healthy Well, the time has come. I am nearly 39 years old. Yep, the big “40” is looming around the corner.

It’s time for me to shed some weight and get healthier.

Nutrition. Diet. Exercise. These are some of our favorite talking points. I spend so much time thinking about it and talking about it – now I’m just doing it.

For the next several months I will be on an intense program consisting of nutrition and exercise.

I have chosen to kick start my lifestyle change with a juice reboot diet – only juice consisting of a variety of vegetables and fruits. I will then transition to a diet primarily consisting of micronutrient fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts (I can’t believe that I’m actually writing this) followed by the introduction of fish and other lean proteins.

My ultimate goal is to get healthy – from the inside out. I am told that the side effects will consist of significant weight loss, lots of energy, and a longer estimated life expectancy. Not too bad if you ask me!

I’ve already started the program, and by the time you read this I will have been on the program for over a month. I started it right – I planned and prepared. I even had my wife take the customary “shirtless” photos to use as a reference – not sure how I feel about showing these to people though.

So wish me luck! There’s no turning back now as I’ve actually published my health goal. I figured it was all in or nothing. I’ll post an update in the next issue and I’ll keep my Facebook page updated on the progress.

Want to join me? It’s the perfect time of the year to make a healthy change! Email me at publisher@zcodemedia.com to share your story.

It’s Going to be a White Christmas at La Costa Resort and Spa

by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Kathy Morris

C

hristmas Tree Lane was started 31 years ago by a group of women who wanted to raise money for the Boys & Girls Clubs,” explained Jenny Luttrell, Special Events Coordinator for the organization. “They wanted to create an event that would focus around a holiday that they loved – Christmas!”

With a theme of “A White Christmas,” this year’s highly anticipated event is expected to be more exciting than ever. The two-day extravaganza will take place December 7th through 8th at Carlsbad’s La Costa Resort and Spa, kicking off with an upscale fashion show luncheon that will highlight local designers. “The boutique fashion show luncheon is the perfect afternoon to spend with your girlfriends,” said Jenny. After the show, guests will be invited to browse and purchase clothing, jewelry, and purses featured in the show. The fundraiser will wrap up with an elegant gala dinner, including live entertainment and lots of dancing, given in honor of the donors. Of course, there will also be the traditional “tree viewing,”

where guests will be given an opportunity to win beautiful Christmas Trees decorated by local artists.

This year’s committee chairs are Michele Burt and Kim Hensen. “They, along with a great committee of dedicated women, have worked tirelessly to bring this wonderful event to life,” said Jenny. “We are hoping to raise $115,000. This money helps to fund our seventeen clubs.”

Jenny shared that along with their fundraising efforts, she and the committee members really hope to get the public into the holiday spirit. “It will be the perfect event to kick off your holiday season!” exclaimed Jenny.

The event’s fashion show is being produced

by Gretchen Productions. Other sponsors of the event include: California Bank and Trust and Greenbox Art and Culture. “We are currently looking for sponsors to be a part of this great event,” said Jenny. For more information on sponsorship, she encourages interested parties to contact her at jluttrell@sdyouth.org. ¢

THIRTY-TWO Years

Mayor Pro Tem Ann Kulchin Plans to Step Down in December

by Amy Lehrer | photos by Soul of Photography

B

eloved Mayor Pro Tem Ann Kulchin – often referred to endearingly by colleagues as a wingman, a team player, and the First Lady of Carlsbad – plans to retire from the City Council when her term ends. During her thirty-two year political career in Carlsbad, she’s served eight terms on the city council and three terms as Mayor Pro Tem. In addition, she’s served on eighteen regional government boards and nine community boards including SANDAG, many coastal preservation groups, the North County Transit District, the San Diego County Water Authority, the League of Women Voters, and the North County Concert Association. Some of her awards include 1993 Woman of the Year, 1991 California Women in Government, and 1989 Who’s Who in California.

Kulchin discussed three projects that make her proud. Along with former Mayor Bud Lewis, she campaigned for the Growth Management Plan, which received local, state, and national honors. She served on every committee pertaining to the Dove Library comprising the site selection, architecture, and public art committees. She mused, “I’ve referred to...(the Dove Library) many times as my library.” Further, she worked with the State Boating and Water Ways Commission to secure funding for the one mile coastal sea walk.

One factor contributing to Kulchin’s success is that she is a people person. “What sets her apart from many politicians is that she is genuinely interested in other people’s lives,” explained Carlsbad resident Sally Lyons.

In fact, “She’s really tuned into our community,” states former Councilwoman Julie Nygaard. “She just has a gift for it.” In return, Kulchin replied, “I thank our citizens for re-electing me to eight terms on the Council. Their belief in me is very humbling.”

David and Ann Kulchin married in 1953 and have three children and eight grandchildren. Surprisingly, early in their marriage, Kulchin sold cars in Okinawa, Japan, despite not knowing how to drive while David was stationed there. Later in Saratoga, she ran two field offices for the county supervisor. Once they moved to Carlsbad, David Kulchin was appointed to the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, which allowed Kulchin to meet city officials including former Mayor Pro Tem Glenn McComas who suggested she would be a good fit for council member.

Kulchin sincerely hopes Carlsbad prospers so its citizens can enjoy quality lives. Meanwhile, she plans to spend time with family and friends to ensure happiness in her senior years.  Name: Ann J. Kulchin Age: 80 Family: Married 59+ years to David, 3 adult children, 8 grandchildren

:::: STUDENT STARS

100% Effort % From Taiwan to 92009

The Changes Are Many, But So Are the Rewards

by Kelley Gusich | photos by Soul of Photography

BOUT his goals – Richard Jao has a goal to be a Biologist in his future, but he also desires to travel the world. He’s already on his way at the tender age of 17. A 7,000 mile journey from Taiwan to Carlsbad, with a focus on Biology as his favorite subject at Pacific Academy; Richard is all about effort.

ABOUT student stardom – It’s seemed an inevitability for Lee-Chia (Richard) Jao, who has received multiple recognitions since his arrival—the most prestigious being a Most Improved Award and a Certificate of Excellence in his community. When he first came from Taiwan a year and a half ago, his English was so limited he “could not understand any words his teacher said,” but his proficiency progressed so quickly he was caught up with all his

classes in a matter of months. As far as excellence in the community, he earned that because of a kind and easygoing attitude toward…well, toward everyone he meets! Dan O’Brien, Vice Principal at Pacific Academy, stated, “Richard instinctively demonstrates the valuable trait of humility, and enjoys the opportunity to learn from his peers and from his professors.”

ABOUT living in Carlsbad – Richard revealed, “I like to live here, because it’s quiet and peaceful. The environment is completely different from my home in Taipei.” Although he misses his family, the food, and the convenience of easy bus and MRT travel, he loves Pacific Academy for the success it offers him. “A small school is like a small family—students have more chances to talk to the teachers,” Richard said. “It provides more specific teaching for international students.”

ABOUT his favorite subject, Biology – Richard is drawn to it because he “…enjoys the natural world.” He spends a lot of time in it surfing and playing squash. His brother, Shawn, is majoring in Environmental Biology at the University of Toronto, and their interest in the subject was possibly sparked by the many pets they owned and loved as children.

ABOUT Richard Jao in general – He is a busy person. He’s played violin for the past ten years, he volunteered in a dentist’s office in Irvine, and he’s planning to create a guitar or surfing club at Pacific Academy. When Richard Jao was asked his work ethic, he explained, “I learn from my mistakes. Once I have a goal, I always put in 100% effort to achieve it.” 

Faris Family the

This Family of Four Feels at Home in Their Carlsbad Community

T

roy and Bryn Faris have always been San Diego locals – Troy growing up in Escondido and Bryn in Encinitas - so when the opportunity arose to purchase a house they had previously rented in Carlsbad, they jumped on it. “We’ve always loved this area. The schools are fantastic, the sunshine, the community and our wonderful neighborhood,” exclaimed Bryn. “This spot always felt like home to us.”

Seven years later, the Faris family is still extremely grateful to call Carlsbad their home. “We’re a stone throws away from a wonderful park, close to our neighborhood school, and far enough from the coast to see the sun every day,” explained Bryn. “Both our parents are also local; being close to our parents keeps our kids close to them also. For all these reasons we love where we live.”

And between their two children – Grant (8) and Maya (5) - where they live is the place to be. “Friends have called our house the Kool-Aid house,” said Bryn. “There are constantly neighborhood kids running in and out of our house and of our backyard.”

The Faris family loves to stay active, spending a lot of time at the beach and camping as often as they can. “This summer we camped for almost two weeks, splitting the time between Santa Barbara at the beach and Jedediah Smith in the Redwoods.” Troy also camps often with the kids through the Indian Guides and Indian Princesses programs.

Maya loves dance and gymnastics, while Grant “likes to surf, play soccer, and pretty much play whatever sport he can find,” explained Bryn.

“We’ve always loved this area.

The schools are fantastic, the sunshine, the community and our wonderful neighborhood.”

Bryn, a Spanish Teacher for Canyon Crest Academy, is also a co-chair for the Green Team at La Costa Heights, helping to bring environmental awareness to students. In her free time, she likes to run, garden, and compost.

Apart from his profession as a CPA, Troy coaches Grant’s rugby team and loves a good practical joke. “You can’t call our house and have him answer with a straight answer about anything,” joked Bryn.

“He’ll ‘short sheet’ your bed if you’re not careful!” 

Waste Management Encourages Residents to Include New Recycling Habits

As summer ends and students head back to school, Waste Management of San Diego encourages residents and its customers, both in and out of school, to also include new recycling habits this back to school season. Waste Management offers the following tips to reduce, reuse and recycle this school year: Pack a lunch with reusable gear: Packing a lunch is a healthy habit for both you and the Earth. Eating out often means more calories, more money and more waste, whereas bringing lunch gives you an opportunity to use leftovers and save money.

By utilizing reusable gear, like a cooler lunch box or even just reusing a brown paper bag, you can save on waste. Be sure to recycle any packaging, such as bottles or cans, when you are finished.

Purchase products made from recycled materials: Bring your own environmentally friendly coffee mug, use recycled paper and re-fill ink cartridges instead of buying new ones. Not only does this save on resources, it also costs less. Refilling ink cartridges can save up to 40% on the price.

Utilize carpools or public transportation: While cars may be convenient, traffic and high gas prices certainly are not. Utilizing public transportation is not only cost-effective for money, it can also save you time. While on the bus or on the train, you can read, answer e-mails or take calls – all things unsafe to do while driving. Other ways to get around include organizing a carpool with others on the same schedule, walking or biking. If doing these things regularly is not feasible, consider setting up a special event, such as a “Bike to Work Day,” to see if you can contribute at least once while encouraging others to try it as well.

Turn off and unplug appliances when you are not using them: Computers, printers, fax machines and other wired devices save us time when we are using them, but can cost us money when we are not. In sleep mode – and even when they are off but plugged in – these appliances use power and add to your electricity bill. Help conserve energy and your bank account by turning off and unplugging these appliances when you are not using them.

adjustment The Joint…the Chiropractic Place Changes the Way Chiropractic Care is Delivered

by JENNIFER FRAKES

At

The Joint …the chiropractic place, they are creating a new philosophy of care where patients can utilize chiropractic treatments as a way to maintain and improve their overall health. “Regular chiropractic adjustments are an important part of a wellness program, just as healthy eating and regular exercise. These treatments allow the body to function better on all levels. The Joint specializes in affordable and convenient maintenance chiropractic adjustments provided by experienced and dedicated chiropractors,” said Bill Bargfrede, franchisee of The Joint… the chiropractic place. Bargefrede, along with his wife and business partner, Debra Saum, are Encinitas residents who look forward to offering North County residents accessible

and affordable chiropractic care in a relaxed and positive environment.

our no appointment necessary policy makes it possible for everyone to get in and see the doctor—even those trying to juggle work and family activities,” explained Bargfrede.

Another important component of The Joint’s innovative approach to chiropractic care is affordability. According to Bargfrede, the introductory adjustment is $19*, and a membership plan is available that offers four

The Joint Corp was founded in Tucson, Arizona, in 1999, with a vision to transform the traditional and confusing concept of chiropractic care into a simple and affordable reality. “There are now more than 298 clinics in over 23 states,” related Bargfrede. The Joint Corp is operated by the founder and former CEO of Massage Envy, John Leonesio, and was recently ranked #94 in the Inc.

on shift, routine maintenance is performed inhouse. Lunch and dinner meals are communal and prepared by that days designated cook. Evenings are generally reserved for individual training needs.

Although these are common day to day activities, emergency response takes precedence over all.

92009: Can you describe the most gratifying aspect of serving the Carlsbad residents?

Crawford: The most gratifying aspect of serving Carlsbad residents is making someone’s life better than it was before we entered it. Knowing that you have made a positive, and at times life changing, impact on a person is gratifying beyond words. It is why I began this profession 28 years ago and it is why I continue to enjoy coming to work.

92009: How many emergency calls are dispatched from each station per month on average?

Crawford: Our engines respond to an average of 123 calls per month/station and our medic units respond to an average of 224 calls per month/station.

92009: What is the most common type of call to which personnel at the stations respond?

Crawford: Representing approximately 60% of our call volume, the most common type of call we respond to are EMS (Emergency Medical Services) related.

92009: Is there anything unique or unusual about the department or the stations within?

Crawford: Our organization is different than most as we see our role as something more than just responding to calls. We are not a department that just does the transactional business of the Fire Department. We are engaged in all aspects of the community and see ourselves as community members. The Carlsbad Fire Department is unique in that the organization is led with focus placed on the human element.

October | November 2012 • 92009Magazine.com • 29

92009: What type of ongoing training for personnel at the department occurs on a regular basis?

Crawford: On a regular basis personnel are participating in EMS focused (didactic and manipulative) training, multi-company evolutions based on fire ground emergency operations, and technical rescue events (confined space rescue, vehicle extrication.)

92009: Tell us about the Safety Center that is located adjacent to Station 5. What is the philosophy of having the Center? What goes on at the Center?

Crawford: Training is one of the most important aspects of what we do on a daily basis. Our new Safety Training Center provides both the Police and Fire Departments the opportunity to train within a realistic environment that creates the same challenges and expectations of an actual emergency.

The four acre site provides a compressed version of the types of buildings that are found within the City of Carlsbad. Also, the Police Chief and I believe that public safety for this community is a joint effort, and with the new Safety Training Center we are able to conduct training alongside each other and further develop the relationship between the two departments.

92009: Being a coastal community, what services does the Carlsbad Fire Dept. provide regarding beach front accidents/emergencies?

Crawford: We respond with State Lifeguards to water related injuries at the beach and provide support to water operations by way of Incident Command and medical support.

92009: As we head in to fire season, what would you like to tell our readers about fire preparedness?

Crawford: Specific to the threat of wildland we ask that you adhere to all brush clearance suggestions that can be found on our website www. carlsbadca.gov/fire. More importantly, I would ask that readers be sensitive and prepared for any type of emergency. One way this can be accomplished is to maintain a fire safe and hazard free home.

DEDICATION

O

ver the past six years, Wendy Wiegand has dedicated countless hours to the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary, a service-oriented organization that provides support to the local and international community. “I am very passionate about Rotary and what it stands for—Service Above Self,” said Wendy, who has never missed a Rotary meeting. She has served on the Board of Directors as Secretary, Community Service Director and Club Service Director for the 96-member Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary.

Wendy feels extremely fortunate to serve on Rotary alongside like-minded people who are inspired to give back to those in need. “I have made some amazing friendships through Rotary. It’s wonderful to work with good people who have the same goals,” stated Wendy. Wendy encourages those who are interested in Rotary service to come to a meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn on Carlsbad Boulevard. Meetings are held every Monday (except for federal holidays) at noon. She also invites residents and visitors to take part in the 30th Annual Oktoberfest in Holiday Park on October 6, 2012. This event is a community fundraiser that is jointly produced by the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary and the Carlsbad Rotary.

The Rotarian spirit is strong within Wendy’s family. “My father has been a Rotarian in Monterey since 1972. I joined Rotary in 2003 when I was living in Temecula,” explained Wendy. Currently, Wendy, who is a realtor and mortgage broker, lives in the Bressi Ranch community of Carlsbad with her 14-year-old son, Chandler. She moved to the community in 2006 and counts convenience to shopping and dining,

great schools and wonderful neighbors among the reasons she loves living in Carlsbad.

Although Wendy is not a native Californian—she is originally from Western New York—she has lived in Southern California since 1987 and can’t imagine living anywhere else. “This is my home now,” said Wendy.

“I can drive to enjoy the snow and live in the sunshine. Where else can you golf one day and snow ski the next?” The Southern California climate is also perfect for Wendy’s other favorite pastimes—watching Chandler play soccer and lacrosse and heading to the beach. “I enjoy sailing and kayaking, and Chandler recently started to surf. He loves it,” declared Wendy. Wendy and Chandler also like to spend time with friends and Roxy, their Maltese dog and Spike, their Sulcata tortoise.  Group: Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary, established 1980 Group’s Purpose: Service Above Self Board Members: Yvonne Finocchiaro, President; Lisa Rodman, President-Elect; Maureen Simons, Secretary; Eric Lodge, Treasurer; Kori Dolkas, Director of Club Service; Mike Holland, Director of Community Service; Stan Prowse, Director of International Service; Dawn VanSiclen, Director of Vocational Service; Jim Brubaker, Past President; Al Wanamaker, Advisor Contact Information: www.carlsbadhinoonrotary.org

Operation Christmas Child

by MICHELLE TREMBLAY

I

f you are looking to “give back” this holiday season, there is an organization just for you. Samaritan’s Purse, a national Christian organization, is making it their mission to not only bring joy to impoverished children all around the world, but to also enrich their lives by spreading the word of God. With the help of donations, this group sends shoeboxes to needy children filled with such items as toys, clothing, toiletries, and school supplies.

Also, in an effort to bring faith into these children’s lives, every shoebox includes an educational book on Christianity that introduces the child to a discipleship program. This project is called “Operation Christmas Child,” and now, through its San Diego chapter, you too can give the gifts of joy, hope and faith to an impoverished child.

Esperanza (Itzy) Haumschilt, the lead for San Diego’s Operation Christmas Child and a teacher at Valley Elementary School, explained how she became involved with the charity: “I have been packing (shoeboxes) for many years with my own children and with my students.

I always love the joy of giving to a child and my best experience was when I went to the processing center in Orange County to witness the love of God through thousands and thousands of boxes,” said Itzy. “Every single one was unique and special. Tears came to my

eyes just to imagine little girls and boys in some of the most difficult situations. I became a year round volunteer and then the area coordinator for the best team in the world – North San Diego.”

Like Itzy, anyone can become involved with the project either through volunteering or by donating a shoebox (along with $7 to cover shipping costs).

“You can be a part of this amazing and simple project,” said Itzy. “It feels good to give. It’s truly a blessing to know that darkness turns into light for all these children with a simple shoebox full of hope and love. Get together with your family, church, or school and be a part of the most rewarding experience you will ever have.”

With your donation, you will have the option to track your shoebox to its destination, and some lucky donors may even get to know the child to whom the box was delivered. “You may enclose a note to the child and a photo of yourself or your family and if you enclose your name and address the child may even write back,” explained Itzy.

National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child is November 12 -19, 2012, and the “drop off” centers are located throughout the county. For more information on getting involved or to find your nearest drop off center, please visit: www.samaritanspurse.org. ¢

“The apple trees are completely full,” said Arnie of Apple Starr Orchards. He began welcoming apple pickers the first week of September and expects to host more through the end of October. He grows five varieties including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Jonagold, and Red Delicious.

Just a handful of Julian orchards still welcome apple pickers, for a fee. Most are open daily, but be sure to call ahead and make an appointment. Since the owners are busy tending the crop, they are not always available,

in their office or by the phone, but we had good luck reaching a few.

Apples and Art Orchards provides apple picking with a tour of the orchard for groups of ten or more as well as the opportunity to make and taste fresh cider from their pesticide-free apples. Raven Hill Orchard also welcomes pickers to their 8,000 acre orchard where you’re likely to see some of owner Patrick Brady’s unique sculptures as well.

Can’t get enough apple fun? The Julian Apple Days Festival will be held at the Menghini Winery the weekend of October 6-7.

Appled out? The Julian Mining Company doesn’t offer apple-picking, but they do invite you to choose a pumpkin out of the patch and participate in a wide variety of kid-friendly activities like hayrides, panning for gold, and candle dipping, to name a few.

Bring home your ready-made treats with a stop at Mom’s Pie’s, the Julian Pie Company, or Dudley’s Bakery on your way home. ¢

Helping Senior Veterans, their Spouses and Families Get the Benefits they’ve Earned

by KATHY LOY

A

s we age, it can be frustrating to forget where you placed your eye glasses or what was on your grocery list that you left in the car, but imagine the difficulty many senior-aged veterans have trying to obtain benefits while navigating the maze that is also called “the VA.” The saving grace for many veterans, their surviving spouses, and their families is Veteran’s Friend, a community service co-founded by Robert Dhillon and Kate Seelye. “Our call-to-duty and pledge is to help veteran families navigate the VA process correctly, protect themselves, and obtain this tax-free lifetime benefit by providing free assistance in the preparation and presentation of their claim before the VA,” explained Robert.

“Like any other large government department, the VA is complex and bureaucratic. Its rules, regulations, forms and procedures can be very confusing and daunting at times, especially for seniors,” said Robert. Veteran’s Friend will listen first, then provide simple, honest answers to folks who are worried about the rising cost of long term care that is often needed by seniors.

Robert and Kate are uniquely qualified to help veterans deal with the issues they face in obtaining these VA benefits.

Robert, now a VA accredited claims representative, served in the US Navy and Department of Defense, and graduated

from London University with a degree in Education. Later, he spent 25 years consulting for the armed forces and large international banks. Kate, now in Senior Precision Support, has lived in the San Diego area for over 50 years and has worked in the financial services industry for over 20, while also running a small alternative holistic health practice. “We understand how stressful it can be for families of veterans, often in crisis or planning for long term care for aging parents. We provide precision answers, support, legal representation and guidance through the VA’s eligibility and application maze,” said Robert.

Besides helping with their benefits, Veteran’s Friend also works to warn and guard senior veterans and widows against elder abuse practices of unscrupulous financial services companies that prey on this group of citizens. They host local events and breakfasts to bring young service men and women and older veterans together to provide education in estate and retirement planning, college education planning and long term care. If you or someone you know may need their help, give Robert or Kate a call or visit the Veteran’s Friend website. ¢

Holistic Health

At Homeopathic SOULutions Julie Igel Helps Patients Discover the Roots of their Illnesses

M

by AMY LEHRER | photos by Tyler McElhaney

ost of us can empathize with those who have been disappointed by health care. Antithetically, in her practice, Julie Igel, the passionate and approachable owner and manager of Homeopathic SOULutions, treats the whole patient: body, mind, and emotion.

In an initial two hour consultation, conducted in a homey, garden setting, she listens to her patients so she can treat them at a soul level. Her goal is to get to the root of an illness and proscribe non-toxic, non-addicting forms of medicine that stimulate the body’s own natural healing.

Igel’s patients range in age from newborn to senior citizens, and she treats various ailments including ear infections, puberty issues, ADHD, chronic migraines, menopause, OCD, and depression. She finds many of her clients enter her practice after they have been unsuccessful

Homeopathy, a discipline dating back to the discoveries of Samuel Hahnemann—a German born physician in the 1700’s—is based on the pharmacological law known as the “Law of Similars.” Allergy shots and vaccines follow a similar philosophy. Igel explains, “Any substance that produces specific symptoms in a healthy person when given full strength will cure a sick person with the same symptoms when given in much diluted form.” For instance, a well person cutting an onion experiences the symptoms of burning, watery eyes, a soar throat, and a runny nose. Introducing Allium sepa, a homeopathic remedy derived from the red onion, to a person suffering from hay fever or a cold works.

The American Institute of Homeopathy is the oldest functioning medical society in the USA, founded in 1843. Even during the 1918 Influenza Pandemic, the homeopathic hospitals had the greatest success, with a 1.05% mortality rate compared to the 28.2% mortality rate of conventional hospitals. For over two hundred years homeopathy has been safe and effective for people of all ages. ¢

treating their chronic illnesses with traditional therapies. She recommends, however, treating illnesses homeopathically first, allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Traditional therapies can be tried later if needed.

A graduate of the Homeopathic Academy of Southern California, Igel first encountered homeopathy when her daughters were babies.

Her middle daughter suffered from reoccurring ear infections, and the continued antibiotic therapy made her even more Name of Business: sick. One homeopathic Owner/Manager: remedy cured her ear Years in Position: infection, selling Igel.

LOOK WHO IS WEARING BRACES Actual Patient wearing The MTM® No·Trace™

The MTM® No·Trace™ Developed by Dr. Ron Roncone in conjunction with Dentsply/GAC International, an orthodontic supply and manufacturing company, has solved these problems. They are placed on the inside of teeth, so they are not visible. They work very rapidly---6 weeks to 6 months.

Lingual Braces Over 60% of my practice is composed of adults ranging in age from 18 to 83.

Why have they chosen to have their teeth straightened as adults?

The most common reasons are: 1. Always wanted straight teeth but parents couldn’t afford treatment.

2. Don’t like their smile.

3. Their teeth are crooked.

4. Their teeth are wearing.

5. Gum problems due to crowding.

6) T.M.J. (Jaw Joint) problems causing headaches, neckaches, etc.
