5 Winter 2012-13 What do you look for in a pharmacy? Convenience, cus- tomer service and quality care probably come to mind; all of which can be found in abundance at your local Lake Elmo Pharmacy. The full service pharmacy sup- plies all of the products and services that can be found at a franchise pharmacy but offers the convenience of being located in the heart of Lake Elmo on Stillwater Boulevard. Owner and operator Nicholas Rich and staff take pride in getting to know their customers and provid- ing them with the personal care they need and deserve. Lake Elmo Pharmacy is also unique in that it is a com- pounding pharmacy, one of only a handful located in the twin cities. If you’re not familiar with compounding, it is a process that enables pharmacists to prepare custom- ized medications to meet each patient’s specific needs. Some examples of the specialized medications that can be prepared through compounding include: unique dos- age forms containing the best dose of medication for each individual; medications free of problem-causing excipients such as sugar, lactose, dyes, alcohol, glu- ten or preservatives; combinations of various compat- ible medications into a single dosage form for easier administration and improved compliance; medications that are not commercially available and novel medica- tion delivery systems. Lake Elmo Pharmacy also spe- cializes in women’s health and veterinary medications. Lake Elmo Pharmacy is lo- cated at 11240 Stillwater Blvd. N. Hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Learn more about the pharmacy and refill your prescription online at www.

Lake Elmo Pharmacy, a full service retail and compounding pharmacy is located conveniently on Stillwater Boulevard . On December 1st, the Lake Elmo Fire Department conducted a “Live Burn” training exercise on 10th Street. Three members, Capt. Mike Cornell, Capt. Noah Malmquist and FF/Engineer Brian Johnson re- cently completed the “Live Burn Instructor” training which allowed them to conduct the training without hiring outside instructors. Many hours of preparation went into this drill. They started at 8:00 a.m. conduct- ing live burn evolutions with some of the neighboring Mutual Aid Departments, Mahtomedi, Oakdale, Bay- port and Woodbury. During these evolutions, instruc- tors lit a fire in a room of the structure. Once the fire reached a predetermined level and the structure was filed with smoke, the crew made entry, found the fire and extinguished it. Skills learned: fire experience for newer Firefighters, work as a team, communica- tion skills and fire behavior. By late morning the departments had conducted all the burns they could and the struc- ture was allowed to burn, which cleaned up the property for the land owner and the city. The department’s five new recruits, Chris Supan, Dominic Jara, Tom Hilpisch, Alex Hilpisch and Rick Gimpel continue on their journey to become Lake Elmo Firefighters. As part of their probationary period, they are currently enrolled in either First Responder or EMT training. They will all start their Firefighter I & II training in January. Hopefully by spring you will have five new Firefighters. Good luck to them. The department held an Ice Rescue drill on Decem- ber 13th, on Lake Jane. Crews donned cold water survival suits (Gumby suits) and deployed ice rescue sled onto the ice with support personnel on shore. The purpose of drill was to re-familiarize personnel and new recruits with process and equipment. Lake Elmo is trained to provide surface water/ice rescue.
