Dentistry

Dr. Christopher Stanosheck

"I never thought the day would come when I would look forward to seeing the dentist!"

Can I be sedated during my visits to Dr. Stanosheck’s Office?
Patients who become anxious and worried about dental visits can opt for twilight sedation to calm their minds and bodies. New methods for removing decay, such as air abrasion and electric hand pieces, offer less sound, no vibration, and they are so gentle that patients rarely need anesthetic. At Dr. Stanosheck’s office you’ll find dependable dental professionals with advanced training, state-of-the-art technology, personal attention, and genuine compassion. Dr. Stanosheck is a strong member of our community and is passionate about good dentistry for Omaha. His prices are affordable and his office provides evening and weekend appointments

Green Companies and Inititatives

Metropolitan Utilities District

"Choose natural gas."

What should consumers look for in appliances?
Consider energy efficient appliances and operating costs. Appliances come with an Energy guide sticker that details operating costs. Gas appliances are less expensive to operate and are lower in CO2 emissions so they are a better choice for the environment. Energy Star appliances can save you up to $75 a year in energy costs. If you have electric appliances converting to gas is easier than you think. Simply call your local utility company to schedule a visit from a service technician, and he can get you converted. Visit the M.U.D. Web site  for rebate offers on converting to natural gas. Learn more!

Legal

Mary Vandenack / Parsonage, Vandenack, Williams LLC

“Be thorough when shopping Law Firm rates.”

What should I ask about law firm pricing?
A law firm with business savvy and experience can tell you what it will cost to provide you the services you need. Ask whether the firm provides flat rates and estimates. Ask whether the flat fee is all-inclusive or whether there are extras. Many firms charge for photocopies, faxes, local travel, long distance phone calls, etc. Many clients make the mistake of assuming that a low hourly rate will be less expensive than a high hourly rate. Most of the time, an hourly rate reflects experience. Often, that experience is specific to a particular practice area. An experienced attorney with a high hourly rate may well be less expensive than a less experienced attorney with a low hourly rate

Barter / Finance

Terri Smieja, Broker / ITEX

“I primarily serve as a marketing tool for clients.”

Why should we consider becoming a member of a barter organization?
ITEX is an organization of hundreds of businesses in Nebraska and Iowa, along with thousands worldwide, trading goods and services among members. Using ITEX dollars instead of cash to pay for what you need, your local ITEX office estimates that you can find 80% of what your need. In a slow economy, your ITEX membership lets you chose from among hundreds of unbillable hours or overstocked inventory to get the services or goods that you need. Your business can attract new clients through advertising without paying cash as well as receiving rebates on the trade dollars you spend

Insurance / Business

Cathleen Bauer / Aflac

“Be thorough when shopping Law Firm rates.”

What should I ask about law firm pricing?
Are there any tax advantages for me as the employer and what other benefit services do you provide? Making Aflac available may save money through reduced employer tax contributions for employers with Section 125 Cafeteria plans because premiums are paid with pre-tax dollars. Because a cafeteria plan is a salary reduction plan, FICA savings may result for your company.

This alliance offers complete COBRA administration to help reduce your administrative duties and help avoid any legal liabilities
