Dr. Joseph Grimaud Continues CenturyLong Tradition At Watson Pointe Dental

Watson Pointe Dental is celebrating 103 years in practice, continuing the family traditions started three generations ago. Dr. Vincent Grimaud opened the practice in 1911 and was joined by his son, Dr. James Grimaud, in 1938. The third and current owner, Dr. Joseph Grimaud, began practicing in 1985. He is pleased to have four family members (plus three honorary members) working in his office. Much has changed in dentistry over the past 100 years, and technology has made dentistry much more comfortable for patients, said Dr. Joseph Grimaud. Watson Pointe uses such technology as digital X-rays, intra-oral cameras, a fluorescent cavity detection system, singlevisit all-porcelain restorations and crowns, and, most recently, laser gum surgery. At my first visit to Watson Pointe Dental, it had been years since I had worked with a dentist, said patient Sean M. Dr. Joe and his staff were incredible. I can tell Dr. Joe puts in a good deal of time preparing for his clients comfort. Dr. Grimaud takes his 21st-century skills to Nepal each October. He treks in the Himalayan Mountains, along with dentists and physicians with the Karma Thalo Foundation to deliver dental care to the Nepalese living in the most remote villages. Dr. Grimaud encourages patients and supporters to like the Karma Thalo Foundation on Facebook. Although new technology is an important feature of the Watson Pointe Dental office, the atmosphere remains comfortable in an old-time, low-tech way. Patients are offered comfortable pillows, cozy blankets and warm, lemon-scented towelettes following treatment. And prevention is still a top priority. In 2013, Watson Pointe Dental received a makeover of its own with new paint, carpet and flooring throughout. Come in for a visit. New patients are always welcome at Watson Pointe Dental.

Lighting Associates Inc. recently celebrated its 30th year in the business of representing manufacturers of all types of lighting and lighting controls for commercial, industrial, residential and theatrical customers. I started the business in my basement with my wife and neighbor as the first employees, said David Jockenhoefer, president of Lighting Associates. After working for another company for nine years, I wanted to do my own thing. Jockenhoefer now works with partners Paul Warner and Joe Thomason, as well as his daughter Kristen, sister Ann Jackson and a staff of three dozen. Lighting Associates 36 employees range in age from 24 to 68, like a family of different generations. Thats a good spread for the future, Jockenhoefer said. One of the biggest changes in the business since Jockenhoefer started in 1982 is the evolution of bulbs. When I started in the lighting business,

most fixtures used incandescent bulbs for residential, fluorescent for offices and highintensity discharge lamps for warehouses and outside lighting. Now its going to LED. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) emit very little heat as compared to incandescent bulbs, which release 90 percent of their energy as heat, and to compact fluorescent lights, which release about 80 percent of their energy as heat. Exposing students, employees and customers to natural full-spectrum LED lighting can lower stress and anxiety, improve productivity, and stimulate positive health and behavior, according to studies. Customers say they like the companys responsiveness, attitude and teamwork approach. You all have been the best co-workers ever, said customer Betty Moriarity. Even though we work for different companies, you have always been there to help and take care of customers. Different bosses, same team.

The family-owned Fischer Window and Door store provides premium products from the American manufacturer Marvin Windows and Doors. The parent company, Fischer Lumber, has been providing quality building products to the construction industry for more than 70 years since 1941. When its owners decided to branch out, they acquired the Marvin Windows and Doors store in Brentwood in 2012 for the opportunity to expand our family business providing quality products from Marvin Windows and Doors to the entire St. Louis region, said owner Jim Fischer. The experienced sales staff and support personnel already in place ensured a smooth transition, he added. Products include Marvins specialty lines, Integrity Windows and Doors and Infinity Replacement Windows. Fischer offers products for new construction, as well as remodeling and replacement projects.

For Premium Marvin Products, Visit Fischer Window & Door Store

In recent years, customers have become more cognizant of demanding high-performance, energy-efficient products that remain functional and are aesthetically pleasing, said John OBrien, commercial sales specialist at Fischer. The sales staff of five, with nearly 150 years of combined experience, is ready and willing to provide those products. The staff includes OBrien, commercial sales specialist Max Jones, and residential sales specialists Steve Marlo, Steve Turner and Mike Bess. The store opened under the Marvin name in 1988, and current staffers stayed on after the ownership change. OBrien and the rest of the staff get great satisfaction from the ability to continue to provide quality products to the industry while continuing to treat customers in a fair and respectful manner. Customers appreciate the family operation, the American-made products, the experienced sales staff and the state-ofthe-art showroom.

Sugar Magnolia Boutique, Webster Groves specialty lingerie and bra shop, features custom-fit bras and offers loungewear, intimates, bridal, burlesque and maternity lingerie, as well as hosiery, jewelry, soaps and candles. I have always loved lingerie, but after 14 years of marriage and three children, I didnt even recognize my own body, said shop owner Lisa Davis. Left frustrated by the lack of options and the difficulty in locating a proper-fitting bra, Davis founded Sugar Magnolia in February 2012. The goal was a unique specialty shop that provides a personal experience, as well as an array of sizes. Were trying to fill the void between a boring bra shop and a swanky adult store, Davis said. While Davis has a true passion for lingerie, store manager Carrie Dalton brings a fresh creative flair to the store, making them a dynamic duo.

We are changing the way women feel about themselves, one bra at a time, Davis said. Recent research showed that about 80 percent of women are wearing the wrong bra size. An ill-fitting bra can cause neck, back and shoulder pain. At Sugar Magnolia, you will be fitted by one of our specialists and given the knowledge to help you understand why a great fitting bra is so important for every woman no matter her size, Davis said, Customers say they love the array of bra sizes from cup sizes AA to N and band sizes from 28 to 50.

Whether youre seeking the perfect gift, a custom special order, space for a party, or a basic everyday bra, you can expect a comfortable, highly personalized shopping experience at Sugar Magnolia, Davis said.

Approaching its third anniversary in Kirkwood, the resurrected Great Harvest Bread Co. is catching the attention of healthconscious consumers who embrace the clean foods way of eating. They avoid processed foods, tend to shop around the perimeter of grocery stores, and look for foods that contain only natural, simple ingredients that they can pronounce, said Judy Honigfort, who owns the business with her husband, Tom. Great Harvest is a great resource for them because our breads and baked goods contain no additives, preservatives or dough conditioners. Great Harvest sells freshly baked breads, cookies, scones, muffins and bars. It also serves lunch Monday through Saturday to showcase the fabulous bread. Wheat is milled daily in the bakery and baked into breads and sweets within 48 hours. The Honigforts opened the Great Harvest franchise in May 2011 because they were fans of Jeff and Cindy Zahners previous franchise on Jefferson Avenue.

Only Natural Simple Ingredients Go Into Great Harvests Breads & Sweets

We attribute our success to our quality products, our friendly employees, and customers who, once they try our breads, never go back to buying the processed, storebought variety, Judy Honigfort said. The stores freshly made boxed lunches have also been gaining popularity. Great Harvest recently provided box lunches to a 50-person meeting I attended, said customer Paul Paese. Ive never had a box lunch that was so delicious and so well rounded half sandwich, hardy vegetable beef chili, fruit, chips and a to-die-for cookie to top it off. Theyre always looking for ways to raise the bar, and they keep succeeding! The couple is also involved in the community. On Feb. 7, The Kirkwood-Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce will honor the Honigforts with the 2013 Businessperson of the Year award, where they are active members. They are also active in their church and Judy serves on the board of directors for the Kirkwood Rotary Club and the YMCA of Kirkwood/Webster Groves.

Recently, Jim Summa expanded the appraisal portion of the business. He created an additional website, www stlouisjewelryappraisals. com, allowing consumers to learn about the

many types of appraisals. Jim Summa then broadened the appraisal and sales team to include Marsha McHugh and Anne Howitt. All three GIA graduate gemologists have achieved the highest American Gem Society rating for appraisers, Certified Gemologist Appraiser, and along with Manager Susan Covey bring more than 90 years of jewelry experience to every appraisal. Many times, insurance companies dont require detailed descriptions of your jewelry to obtain coverage. If you happen to have a loss, an accurate detailed document with multiple photographs becomes invaluable for replacement,, said Jim Summa. We never forget this when writing a document. No license is required for jewelry appraisers, so Summa recommends looking at a gemologists education and experience in the jewelry business when choosing an appraiser. Come visit Summa Jewelers showroom or either of its websites.

Performance Artist Tom Bradys Zilch

Even though it is a horrible and difficult history line, we feel we are bringing with it an extreme level of creativity and beauty ... Tom Brady photo by Diana Linsley

Since 1997, Marthas Hands has provided over 2,500,000 hours of compassionate, private-duty home care. Marthas Hands recently celebrated its 15th anniversary in business, serving the local community.

Does an elder family member or friend need a little help to stay in their home? You can place your trust in Marthas Hands. Our nurse care manager will visit with the client and their family to customize care. Typical services include bathing and dressing assistance, meal preparation/ clean-up, medication set-up and reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, errand running, and companionship. Eileen Hedrick founded Marthas Hands on a mission of Love through Service over 30 years ago. While a nursing student, Eileen was taught compassionate care by the Sisters of Mercy, emphasizing total wellness. Eileen applied this mission in her nursing career. With the help of Eileens husband, John, Marthas Hands started in their basement in 1997. Known for its quality service, Marthas Hands has grown to become one of the premiere private-duty home health agencies in St. Louis.

has interviewed several Holocaust survivors over the years. The biggest fear of survivors is that it will be forgotten, so its critical that we amplify the message, the lessons and sacrifices of this event for the contemporary audience. Hes hopeful the performance will make its mark on those who see it. A preview of Zilch was held last season, but it will now be performed to its fullest vision with a cast of more than a dozen local artists, including Brady. I want to call attention to this (the Holocaust), he said. We get so wrapped up in our own lives and struggles that we cant see the bigger picture. Brady teams with aerial artist, dancer and choreographer Monica Newsam to create Zilch. The two have been collaborating since 2008. Newsam said even though the performance depicts a horrific event, she and Brady hope to show the audience a silver lining. Even though it is a horrible and difficult history line, we feel we are bringing with it an extreme level of creativity and beauty, and a line of hope and enlightenment, she said. Its not just about how awful World War II was its also about the hope people had when things turned so difficult. Theres always this hope in human nature that things are going to get better, so thats the line we are closing the work with. A Really Profound Moment A performer, composer, designer, sculptor, illustrator and photographer who likes to be part of his works, Brady began his art journey with bachelors of fine arts degrees one in design in 1969 and the other in drawing, painting, sculpture and performance in 1973, both from Kansas University. He went on to receive a masters degree in media and performance art from Rutgers University. He has performed in New York at Franklin Furnace as well as the PS1 Contempory Arts Center. A career highlight came when he was invited to perform his 3 Row Poles to Enlightenment at the Generative Art Conference at the University of Milano in Italy in 2004. 3 Row Poles to Enlightenment challenged Brady and Newsam to traverse the sculptural stage space by moving across the tops of eight-inch diameter poles set 30 inches apart in three rows of six poles with heights of three to five inches.

Webster Groves Orthodontics has been brightening smiles in an 1870 house at 24 S. Gore Ave. for almost 81 years. The practice was started in 1933 by one of the first orthodontists in St. Louis. Today, Dr. Peter M. Crump carries on the practice with his newly-added associate, Dr. Patrick McShane, in the century home using state-of-the-art technology. While preserving the comfort of the home, weve equipped the office with state-of-the-art technology, such as digital X-rays, digital photography, digital models and paperless charting, said Crump, who is the fourth orthodontist to practice at the Gore address. Webster Groves Orthodontics services include traditional braces, metal and clear braces, Invisalign and Invisalign Teen braces, nightguards, teeth whitening, treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders, and coordination of orthodontics with jaw

surgery. The practice welcomes children, teens and adults. Our team of skilled and trained professionals are dedicated to providing each patient with the compassionate and individualized care that they expect and deserve, Crump said. Dr. McShane is a welcome addition to our practice, bringing the latest treatment techniques from his residency at St. Louis University, Crump said. Orthodontics is a passion for me, Crump said. It is exciting to know that each day I am able to make a positive difference in someones life and to establish personal relationships with our patients and their families. Dr. Crump gets the most satisfaction from providing the highest quality of treatment in a friendly, family-oriented and professional environment, exceeding all expectations and giving our patients a healthy and beautiful smile.

Another highlight came in 2009 when Brady produced and premiered his original work Prodigal in Forest Park. We performed at the site of the Shakespeare Festival, he said. It was six weeks, 21 performers and 15 technicians all under a full moon, so that was a really profound moment. Brady also loves his work with ANNONYArts, a non-profit dedicated to supporting a consortium of independent movement and performing artists who present original works and provide arts education. Everything I do here at Satori is under the umbrella of ANNONYArts, said Brady, who serves as the artistic director and executive director of the organization. I am most proud of our video production class for inner city students. The Art and Technology Workshop that Brady refers to focuses on atrisk boys and girls ages 8-18 within St. Louis Public Schools who have been expelled. Students learn to write scripts, do camera work and make a video while exploring the question, Who am I? Another program Brady is proud of is the Community Dance Workshop, which works with youth with developmental disabilities through an organization called Every Childs Hope. The workshop targets girls ages 12-18 and empowers young women with a sense of belonging, self worth and healthy lifestyle practices through physical activity and artistic expression. Brady, who lives in Eureka with his wife Sandy and their Bernese Mountain Dog Murphy, is always looking toward the future. Hes planning the following works in the next 12 to 24 months: La Foresta Perduata, a major work currently under development; 3 Row Poles to Enlightenment, one of his favorites that was first performed in Italy in 2004; and Prodigal, which was originally performed in Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park in 2009. For now, the focus is Zilch. Zilch is very powerful, so I think thats going to be a really profound moment, Brady said. Brady is grateful for sponsors including the Missouri Arts Council, the Regional Arts Commission, the Employee Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis, the Art and Education Council, the Kiwanis Club of Crestwood/Sunset Hills, the Rotary Club of Crestwood/Sunset Hills and individual donors. For more information about Zilch, visit www.satori3003.net or annonyarts.org.
