Editor’s note

Specialty publications editor

If long-standing wed-ding traditions seem alittle confining and out ofdate for your modernnuptial celebration,you’re not alone. Life-styles are trending to-ward practical and taste-ful simplification. Aneasy-going elegance anda balance of formalityand fun is now the norm.

Instead of a tradition-al bachelor or bache-lorette party, have aget-together that plugsinto everyone’s sociallyconnected and activelives. Combine both par-ties and consider a hike,beach party, bike ride,cook-out and croquet oran evening of fun at askating rink or bowlingalley.

Book a local attractionsuch as an art museum,university facility, parkor historical building toserve as a unique settingfor the rehearsal dinneror the wedding receptionitself.

Find a vintage dressor off-the-rack modeland seek out a creativelocal designer or dress-maker to turn out a trulyindividual, inspired brid-al dress. Grooms can dothe same with a vintage,never-out-of-style tux-edo, having a local tailoralter it for an impeccable

red-carpet-worthy fit.Provide the wedding

party with a budget andsuggestions for color,style and theme. Thentrust them to put theirown spin on their wed-ding attire. Don’t worry,they’ll likely invest insomething that’s stylish,fits and flatters theirframes – and can beworn more than once.

Prime rib, chickenbreast and salmon arepopular go-to options forthe reception meal, butconsider hiring a localchef, favorite eatery orculinary school programto put a unique spin onexpected menu items.Think about marryingtreasured family culi-nary traditions fromboth sides in the food

you offer. If an elaboratesit-down meal is hard onyour finances, consideroffering a reception ofsmall-plate foods, lim-ited cocktail menu andcake. Your guests willenjoy it just as much.

Rather than a costlyand extravagant openbar, consult a local mix-ologist to create a simplemenu of two or threecustom cocktails andsoft drinks that reflectyour personalities, wed-ding theme and season.

If a full band, discjockey or orchestra arestraining your budget,plug your smartphoneinto a good sound systemand use a service likePandora to create a cus-tom stream of music.

“Taking care of yourteeth can help ward offsuch problems as cavitiesand gum disease,” said Dr.Gibberman. “Gum disease

and poor dental health canaffect such serious ill-nesses as Type II diabetes,stroke and heart disease.”

Dr. Gibberman outlinedsome of the further bene-fits of regular dental vis-its:

» Improved functionssuch as eating and breath-ing. “We can make dentalappliances to combatsnoring, especially forthose who suffer frommild to moderate sleep

apnea and can’t tolerate aCPAP (continuous positiveairway pressure) ma-chine.”

» Increased self-confi-dence. “Something assimple as tooth whiteningor veneers can do wondersto improve self-esteem byimproving your smile,”said Dr. Gibberman.

And if you’ve beenputting off going to thedentist because of fear, Dr.Gibberman offers a newprocedure that will putyou at ease.

“We offer sedationdentistry,” explained Dr.Gibberman. “Workingwith a certified specialist,we use IV sedation to fullyrelax the patient so we cando all their dental work inone afternoon.”

Trees add beauty andshade to your landscap-ing, but people forgetthat trees require asmuch care as flowersand landscape plants.Like well-cared-for flow-ers and plants, well-maintained trees dra-matically enhance yourlandscape. And that’swhere Arbor Care stepsin.

Arbor Care ownerJason Angst said home-owners will notice a dif-ference in their trees.

“We can increase yourtrees’ health and beautywith fertilization, treat-ment for Emerald AshBorer with Treeage,thinning and shaping ofsmall trees, and the re-moval of hazardousdeadwood from large

trees,” Angst said. “Butif you do need a treeremoved, we have theexpertise and equipmentto do so. We have re-moved some of the larg-est trees in the Tristate.”

The Emerald AshBorer invasion has beena hot topic in the newsand Angst said it is a realthreat to area trees.

“It used to be that wesaw signs of ash borersin Mason and areas northof the city, but nowthey’re rampant,” Angstsaid. “We frequently areremoving infested ashtrees from all over theTristate area.”

Emerald Ash Borerstarget ash trees. If thetrees are not treated, theinsects can destroy atree in short order. “Look

for signs of the tips dy-ing, and sucker growthfrom the trunk,” Angstsaid. “Other signs in-clude woodpeckers feed-ing on larvae and D-shaped exit holes causedby the larvae.”

Angst said the onlyway to prevent an ashborer infestation is tocatch it early and treat it.

“If you have an ashtree, you are going to getash borers. But if you getour treatments everytwo years, it will kill 99.9percent of the bugs.”

If your ash tree doesneed to come down, Ar-bor Care is the companyto call.

“We are very skilledat taking down verylarge trees in very tightareas,” Angst said. “Ash

trees become brittlequickly after dying,which adds to the danger,difficulty and expense oftaking the tree downsafely. If your tree isdying or dead, do notwait to call.”

And right now, whenArbor Care removes atree for you it will grindone stump for free, witha coupon. It is one of onlya few companies thatwill clean up the stumpchips and restore thearea to lawn for you.

Jason Angst has beenrunning Arbor Care forsix years, but he has 14years’ experience in treework. He has worked onstorm-damaged treesfrom heavy thunder-storms and ice storms inLouisville, Ky., Lexing-

ton, Ky.; Springfield,Mo.; and Tulsa, Okla. Herecently did volunteerwork in Piner, Ky., ontrees damaged fromtornadoes. He also teach-es Arboriculture classesat Cincinnati State Tech-nical and CommunityCollege. His crews workthroughout the GreaterCincinnati area, servic-ing homes, businesses,large estates and golfcourses.

Many vein clinicsoffer a temporary fix tothe problem by inject-ing medication intospider veins or usingsurface laser treat-ments without doing afull exam to ensure thatthere isn’t a deeperissue. If there is a deep-er issue and it is nottreated prior to surfacelaser treatments, thevisible symptoms mayreturn. At CincinnatiCosmetic & Vein Spe-cialists’ center everypatient receives a com-prehensive examine toidentify the source ofspider veins and to de-termine the best long-term treatment plan. Insome cases all that isneeded is laser treat-ment. However, therecan be a deeper issuethat is causing the vis-ible symptoms of var-icose or spider veins.

Cincinnati Cosmetic& Vein Specialists phy-sicians are fellowship-trained interventionalradiologists who haveextensive experience inusing ultrasound toaccurately identifyvenous insufficiencythat causes the visiblesigns and symptoms ofvaricose veins. Theydiffer from other typesof physicians who treatvaricose veins in thatthey are specially

trained to use image-guided minimally in-vasive procedures thatrequire little to no re-covery time, cause littlepain, can be done in ouroffice in about an hour,and is often covered bymedical insurance.

Set aside a quiet timewith your loved one. May-be you’ll be visiting oryour family has a reunionplanned. You can startwith an hour, maybe alittle longer, because youwill want to do this, ifpossible, in more than onesession. Find a quiet placewhere everyone can sitcomfortably. The key is toask questions, allow timefor the response and lis-

ten. A little dialogue isfine but what you arereally trying to get at iswhat your loved one tellsyou.

If you have photos, thatcan also be a great tool.Have them identify thephotos and tell you thestories that go along withthem. Be sure to havesome Post-it notes so youcan capture names anddates on unlabeled photos.Start out asking themquestions about theirchildhood, their parentsand siblings. Find outwhat growing up was like

and what dreams they hadfor their future. Let theirstories prompt your ques-tions and lead to furtherrevelations.

At this session or asubsequent, it is also won-derful to ask about values– what values do theybelieve are most impor-tant and why. You can alsoask about any advice theywould like to give to theyounger generation.

After five months ofbuying gold and otheritems from customers atthe front porch of hishome in Mariemont, JonSaylor accumulatedenough money to lease asite on Kenwood Roadand founded JS Gold &Coin. Within a year, Say-lor became a millionairewith multiple locationsin Cincinnati and North-ern Kentucky. At the endof 2009, Saylor sold thecompany to his businesspartner, Nancy Hen-dricks, to create the JSFoundation “to supportthe community that hasbeen so supportive ofour business,” Saylorsaid. Creative Livingrecently caught up withSaylor to talk about hisphilanthropic commit-ment.

Why the decision tocreate the JS Founda-tion?

From the start, JSGold & Coin activelysupported any charitythroughout the Tristatethat we felt was effec-tive in helping those inneed in our community.My objective was tokeep JS Gold & Coinhealthy but not let thebusiness aspect be theonly thing we’re allabout. When I becamesuccessful, I quicklylearned that in manycases it doesn’t take a lotof money to change thedirection of someone’slife, such as sponsoring a

youth baseball team andobserving youth activeand engaged as well asfamilies coming togeth-er, talking with eachother. This is a very re-warding feeling. At thesame time, we are in thefinancial position to takea swing at the scary – theproblems that ail oursociety and hurt fam-ilies. For example, weare big donors to theThink Pink initiative andSusan G. Komen for theCure. Given that themajority of our custom-er base is women, sup-porting efforts to curebreast cancer is nearand dear to us. On the19th of every month, theemployees at all six JSGold & Coin locationswear pink. Our asso-

ciates need no remind-ers; everyone is fired upand always thinking ofnew ways to sport it!

How does JS Founda-tion raise money?

The foundation iscompletely self-fundingand a separate entityfrom the stores, andthere is no administra-tive overhead. Thestores are the founda-tion’s biggest contrib-utors, donating a per-centage of their respec-tive profits. Although weare still a fledgling or-ganization, we have al-ready done great things.The foundation expectsto donate $1 million tocharitable causes thisyear with a goal to even-tually contribute halfour store profits to char-

itable causes.What are some other

causes JS Foundationsupports?

I mentioned youthbaseball; we sponsorgirls and boys teamsalike. The FairfieldYouth Baseball Associa-tion is one example. Inaddition to baseball wefund the association’sT-ball teams. We areparticularly passionateabout supporting com-munity family eventssuch as Greater An-derson Days; Red, Whiteand Blue Ash; and Cele-brate Ludlow. It’s veryimportant to rememberthat problems are year-long; raising money for acause doesn’t go awayfor 51 weeks. Hence, weare major sponsors of

the Ruth Lyons Christ-mas Club and morecauses that can benefitothers year-round. An-other example, we ac-tively support the Wom-an’s Arts Club of Cincin-nati Foundation by spon-soring high teas andcultural events that areopen to the public.

How does JS Founda-tion determine thecauses it supports?

Each request for adonation or sponsorshipis taken seriously. Ispend a lot of time re-viewing each request;it’s a painstaking proc-ess. We encourage or-ganizations to fill out anapplication atwww.thejsfoundation-.com or email thejs-foundation@ gmail.comand tell us a little bitabout whom you are,your cause and how thegroup affects the com-munity. You may alsowrite to us at: The JSFoundation, P.O. Box43575, Cincinnati OH45243.

How would you sum-marize your philan-thropic pursuit to date?

Starting out as a cap-italist, I got out thereand learned to be com-petitive in a fair way. Idid not want to keep allmy money for myself. Agood corporate citizengives back to the com-munity. JS Gold & Coin isbuilt on customer vol-ume, which allows us topay higher prices yetremain competitive. Wewant the customer towin and now, with thefoundation, the commu-nity wins as we donate asmuch of our profit aspossible to help it thrive.
