The Connector

eet our newest board member. Jeri Schultz is a leadership and professional development executive who has been a consultant to numerous St. Louis-area businesses and Fortune 500 companies. A mentor, sponsor and advocate to thousands of people — especially women — Jeri’s uncanny ability to bring people together in support of one another and their causes has earned her the nickname “The Connector.” In the fall of 2017, Jeri launched Women Who Inspire, a free speakers series that has featured, among others, Build-a-Bear founder Maxine Clark. Describe the Women Who Inspire series? Women Who Inspire celebrates remarkable women who need to be distinguished. We motivate each other — inspire each other with our faults and our successes — to create a stronger woman in leadership and in society. We talk about what it means to give back, not take away, and build other women up for opportunities to succeed. Women Who Inspire has allowed close to 1,000 women to attend five programs. How would you define a woman who inspires? Bold. Courageous. Trailblazer. Fearless. Takes risk. Creates opportunities. Sincere and demonstrates humility. What holds back talented women? We self-sabotage ourselves. We don’t think we can do it or we don’t give it a try. I don’t think I could start my own business. Or what if I became a manager — I’ve got children… could I really balance it all? How can women overcome this tendency to selfsabotage? You’ve got to find people that believe in you: you nurture them and they nurture you. A lot of women don’t have that and they have to find it. That’s why networking is so important. I have to give a shout out to the many women and men in my life who motivate and support me each day to do more and better: my sister Diane, Maxine Clark, Anita Reznicek, Nora Amato, Karla Bakersmith, Mary Jennings, Ann Duggan, Leo Anglo, my husband Carl who is my anchor — and about 100 more! What advice can you offer young women looking for career inspiration? Seek mentors who will listen, support and chesterfieldmochamber.com

guide you through the ups and downs. Get involved in the community and be sincere about your time and giving. People always notice if one is genuine. Look for women and men who are great role models and ask for their insight. Create your own red carpet. What do you mean by “red carpet”? I sat down with my Jeri Schultz husband last year and I said: I have my business, I teach at a university, I want to do something that has meaning to me. And it was Women Who Inspire. That’s my red carpet. You’ve called Women Who Inspire your “purpose.” Explain… I’ve spent my career mentoring women and giving back. When women leave the Women Who Inspire programs, they seem energized, connected, ready to try new things, to grow more — and they realize that they matter. That’s really what I want for them. A long-time dream and passion of mine turned into a remarkable success in less than a year. I do not consider this initiative a business. It’s a purpose. What’s next for Women Who Inspire? Colonel Laurel (Buff) Burkel will be the speaker for the November 14 Women Who Inspire program to honor Veterans Day. Her story is remarkable. Really! Laurel’s helicopter crashed in Afghanistan. The rest of her story is her story. I will be sending out invitations in late October. Anyone interested in attending may contact me at Jeri.m.schultz@gmail.com. I will make every effort to include as many as possible. Previous program attendees and military will get priority invitations as a special courtesy. So what about that nickname, The Connector? I want to be known as the woman who helps women.

Jeri Schultz is principal at Jeri Schultz & Associates, LLC. Leadership.Development.Customized Programs, a board of director of the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce., and facilitator of the Chamber’s leadership program, Leadership Chesterfield.

Trend Home Sales Realtor Tryla Brown Larson explains why now is a good time to buy — or sell — in Chesterfield.

By Mary Shapiro

variety of factors has boosted home sale trends in Chesterfield — benefitting buyers, sellers and the entire community, according to Tryla Brown Larson. And now is a perfect time to buy or sell. Larson, owner of Tryla Brown Larson & Associates, with the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices/Alliance Real Estate organization and a Chesterfield resident, said the fall months for 2017 had more active homes for sale than any other season last year. “Everyone knows that spring time is busy for real estate but they might not realize that fall is a great season to sell your home, too,” she said. Chesterfield boasts a strong market. In 2014, the median home price for Chesterfield was $345,000, while, in 2018, it is $385,000. “This shows that home values are increasing,” Larson said. Homes are also selling faster. In 2014, the average time it took to sell a home in Chesterfield was 5.78 months versus 3.55 months in 2018. Larson added that, in 2014, 853 homes sold in Chesterfield compared to 929 homes sold in 2017. “In October of 2014, there were 236 active listings in Chesterfield,” Larson said. “In October of chesterfieldmochamber.com

2017, there were 326 active listings in Chesterfield. This shows that the city is growing.” Those figures compare favorably with St. Louis County information, provided by the St. Louis REALTORS® association in cooperation with Mid America Regional Information Systems (MARIS). It showed the St. Louis County median sale price for 2014 was $161,500; the 2014 number of sales was 13,147; and average number of cumulative days on the market for 2014 was 77. For St. Louis County in 2017, the median sale price was $181,000; the 2017 number of sales was 15,898; and the average number of cumulative days on the market for 2017 was 46. Larson advises first-time home buyers to get as much information as they can. Her business hosts first-time home buyers’ workshops, usually twice a year. She cited factors that improve Chesterfield home sales, including “two excellent public school districts, Rockwood and Parkway, and access to some really good private schools, as well.” “We also have a lot of successful businesses here, a great deal of excellent retail, and growing tourism, due to facilities such as Topgolf St. Louis, which just opened in Chesterfield Valley,” Larson said. “Chesterfield has become a destination October-December 2018 | Out & About

“I do a lot of social media, print ads, and post card mailings and maintain good relationships with other realtors. My listings are on hundreds of web sites. And that’s the trick — getting the home widely exposed.”

location for retail and recreation.” Larson has been involved in residential real estate for four years. “Before that, I was on the commercial side and did commercial economic development for both Crestwood and O’Fallon, Mo.,” said Larson, who is both a buyer’s and a seller’s agent for listings and is certified as a relocation specialist for those coming in from out of town. She has received the 40 Under 40 award from the St. Charles Business magazine, was voted Community Builder of the Year by the St. Charles Community Council and received a proclamation from the state of Missouri for excellent business practices. She works smart. “We know the community — knowing the community and real estate market is important,” Larson said. “People have told me I’m good at giving 16

individual attention to clients, to make any transaction as stress free and easy as possible,” she adds. It helps to have diversity of housing in Chesterfield. “We have a mix of new and older homes in Chesterfield, so there’s a lot of variety, anything from a condo to a multi-million-dollar mansion,” Larson said. “And Chesterfield is great for families, from golf to shopping to schools to restaurants.” She said that being a Chesterfield resident helps immensely in her business. “I not only sell homes and help people find them here, but I live, work, eat and play here,” Larson said. “I’m potentially selling to my own neighbors.” Larson focuses on lots of marketing when selling a house. “I don’t just put a sign in a yard,” she said. @chesterfieldmochamber

Tips for Selling During the Holidays

Average Days on Market

While it might seem counterintuitive, shopping for a home or selling one during the winter holidays can pay off. “People don’t want to go out home shopping in the winter, so the foot traffic is lower,” Tryla Brown Larson said. “But the people who do come looking are more serious buyers.” While spring is a key time to sell, December was actually her best month last year. Among tips she provided for home sellers during the holidays are: Decorate the home for the holidays but keeping it moderate. Make sure sidewalks are clear and snow shovels are put away. Another good reason to sell during the holidays is that a lot of people are out driving around looking at Halloween decorations or holiday lights. “Many of those people will see the for sale signs in your yard,” Larson said.

Calzones, Cosmetology and Coding Come to Chesterfield By Eli Andrews Three new franchises open shop in city.

It’s no secret that Chesterfield is prime real estate for new business openings. Recently, three more ventures joined the 63005/63017 zip codes — each bringing a unique offering to the city’s already diverse community of retail, restaurants and destination experiences. Sauce on the Side Sauce on the Side opened August 20 at 1637 Clarkson Road. The fast-casual restaurant specializing in calzones has enjoyed success since day one. This is Sauce on the Side’s fourth location overall, but its first franchise — a milestone for the brand and the Chesterfield location. Tony Withouse, sales and marketing manager for the restaurant, helped train new employees and rebuild the space before the opening. “We gutted out the building, completely rebuilt everything from the floor to the ceiling,” Withouse says. “The area was a restaurant beforehand as well, but the kitchen wasn’t suited for us, so we took everything out and remodeled that too.” A helpful community and strong team of workers played no small part in the remodeling and construction of the new restaurant, and the atmosphere and service reflect this. Without hard work on the part of everyone involved, Withouse says the successful grand opening would never have been possible. Now, he says, it’s Sauce on the Side’s turn to give back to the neighborhood. “Our mission statement is ‘Feed the community,’ and that’s all we want to do,” says Withouse. “We want everybody to have fun. We bring a casual atmosphere because that’s really what’s up-and-coming these days: people want what they want, and they don’t want to have to wait for it. So we’re all about that.”

The Lash Lounge Sauce on the Side isn’t the only new business with a goal of serving the community. Just across the street at 1728 Clarkson Road, The Lash Lounge, a salon specializing in eyebrows and lashes, opened to the public on August 15 after a training process that salon owner Greg Lacombe describes as “grueling.” “All the stylists who work here are statecertified, so they all have their basic state license,” Lacombe says. “When they come on board, they go through a certification process for us, because we have a unique way of doing lashes.” This process began on July 9 and ran the stylists through a wide range of services. With the August opening date looming, they were tested and certified in these services with no time to spare. All the while, Lacombe was focused on making sure all permits and licenses were in order, as well as hiring the best stylists and managers. “Finding the best of the best is the tough part,” says Lacombe. “Recruiting, locating, identifying, and hiring people is an ongoing challenge, because you want to be a great employer and a great service provider to the community.” A Kansas City native, Lacombe entered the cosmetology business because of his wife, a licensed cosmetologist and former actress. For years, they owned and operated a restaurant in South St. Louis, but Lacombe says the beauty industry was always “well-ingrained” in his household. He says the most surprising thing he has learned is how few Midwesterners know about lash extensions. “Texas, Los Angeles, New York — they know what extensions are,” Lacombe says, “but in St. Louis we had to explain what they were. Now, it’s really taking off.” So why Chesterfield? Lacombe says he liked its location in the St. Louis area, the diverse population, and a client base that the salon’s manifesto – part of which reads “wake up, step up, stand out…see the world through new, beautiful eyes” — is best suited to serve. “People here demand quality service,” says Lacombe, “and that’s what we do best.” 20

the CoderSchool The CoderSchool recently opened at 157 Lamp and Lantern Village with a different type of service in mind – teaching children between ages 7 and 18 software skills. It’s the newest franchise in a business headquartered in Silicon Valley, and it’s owned and operated by two women: Kathy Peterson, head of community outreach and marketing, and Charu Katyal, day-to-day onsite manager to the kids and their coaches. Peterson says their mission statement – “teaching the children coding in a fun, nurturing environment” – is more relevant than ever, and it continues to grow. “Coding is our kids’ future,” Peterson says. “It doesn’t matter what field they eventually go into,

@chesterfieldmochamber

@ChesterfieldCOC

coding will serve as a wonderful foundation.” Katyal points out another aspect of the mission: reaching girls who might be interested in technology. She mentions that women have not been as wellrepresented in this area, and that this is a growing problem worldwide. “The percentage of girls who entered communication science majors has fallen in the last several years,” Katyal says. “In the mid-1980s, it was in the mid30s range, and in 2014, that number fell to 17 or 18 percent. The same kinds of issues have also been happening in India. More women were entering technical fields, but now those numbers are declining there as well.” In addition to experience in a wide variety of software, the school also teaches presentational skills. Children have the opportunity to create projects from the software they learn and present them to friends and family. Ages 7 to 18 is a wide range of children to work with, so what experience do Peterson and Katyal have? “We’re moms,” Peterson says. Chesterfield was chosen as the franchise’s newest location because of its support for local businesses, particularly those run by – and aimed toward – families. Peterson adds that the area’s demographics are able to support educating children past what they learn in school. “It is an investment in your child and, unfortunately, not everyone can afford to spend more on their children,” says Peterson. “But we feel that this community can afford to do that, and so our hope is to reach kids that would never have that opportunity. Eventually we plan to move further and reach those kids who wouldn’t otherwise have this chance.”

Common Running Injuries and How to Avoid Them

By Angela Conlon

ith fall approaching many of us can’t wait to get outside and enjoy the cooler temperatures and vibrant colors, and dedicate more time to a running and training regimen — particularly with all the events and festivals around town, like Turkey Trots, seasonal 5Ks, or half or marathon length races to participate in. An increase in training often leads to better fitness and goal achievement, but it also puts increased stress on your body. Many of the running injuries we see come from greater loads placed on the joints with decreased muscle and tendon strength and flexibility. Here are a few of the more common running injuries: Achilles Tendonitis/Plantar Fasciitis are common ankle and foot injuries due to increased loads on the foot and ankle. Because the nature of this tissue is much less elastic than muscle, increased strain results in small tears, which become inflamed. Patellofemoral Pain, commonly referred to as “runner’s knee,” is a softening of the cartilage under the kneecap. This may be caused by many things — but most often the kneecap is not tracking properly due to muscle imbalances in the hip, thigh or poor biomechanics. Iliotibial Band (IT) Syndome is another common pain runners experience located on the lateral side of the knee. The IT band helps stabilize the knee when the foot strikes the ground; however, it is susceptible to injury if there is an excessive force from ankle pronation, muscle inflexibility or hip weakness. Low Back Pain is the product of a number of biomechanical faults, often because of the forces chesterfieldmochamber.com

imposed on the spine due to postural deficits, muscle weakness in the hips and thorax, and muscular and joint limitations in the hips and spine. Shin Splints can be the unhappy outcome of ground reaction force, or the amount of pressure that must be absorbed through the lower extremity when your foot strikes the ground. Poor lower extremity mechanics or muscle imbalances may trigger pain in the anterior side of the lower leg. If you have an injury or even minor irritation, it is a sign of inflammation and, if not resolved, may lead to a chronic injury. Running through pain sets you up for a more serious and longer lasting injury — and could jeopardize your chance to participate in the event you have been training for. At Apex Network Physical Therapy, we can help keep you healthy, strong and injury free through a variety of physical therapy treatments. One tool at our disposal is a biomechanical assessment using wearable sensor technology. Our system can analyze running metrics such as foot speed, cadence, ground reaction force and more — all factors that are useful in determining how to improve running efficiency or correct poor mechanics. The data collected by our system enables our therapist to prompt runners on corrective exercise and strategies to correct for compensation. It also helps us determine when it’s appropriate to return from an injury and how to safely increase training load. Properly managing an increase in frequency, duration or intensity of running can keep injuries at bay and help you get to the finish line. If you have questions about running training, mechanics or injury, give us a call at 636486-0019, check us out at apexnetworkpt.com, or visit one of our 12 local clinics. Or come see us at the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce Pumpkin Run on Saturday, October 20. We will have a tent near the finish line — and would love to talk to you about running well and staying injury free.

Angela Conlon is a Physical Therapist and clinic manager at Apex Network Physical Therapy in Chesterfield.

Chesterfield’s OneRoom Schools: Bonhomme School By Ann Chrissos The oldest of the city’s schoolhouses was built in 1812.

ne-room schoolhouses were common in the Chesterfield area during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Four of the five villages which became part of modern-day Chesterfield had their own oneroom schoolhouse and each school bore the name of the village: Lake, Bellefontaine, Chesterfield and Bonhomme. Residents of Gumbo sent their children to either the Chesterfield or the Bonhomme School. Besides these four community schools, early Chesterfield was also home to the Chesterfield School for African-American Students and two church schools – Bonhomme Presbyterian and Ascension Catholic. The latter were housed

in the church basements, while the community schools were freestanding structures. Many common features existed among these schools. Each had only one room with a wood-burning stove in the center. They employed only one teacher who taught grades one through eight. Each school had a chalk board and teacher’s desk in front of the room, desks for students, and individual slates on which the students practiced their writing and math. By the mid 1950s, these small schools were

absorbed into the Parkway and Rockwood school districts. The oldest school in the Chesterfield area was the Bonhomme School, located at 18455 Olive Street Road. According to Garlin Kellison, the last principal of the school, it was first built around 1812 of rough-hewn logs. It was initially built by the village of St. Andrew along the Missouri River on the north side of the Daniel Boone Bridge. When the community was destroyed by the 1844 flood, Bonhomme Village along Old Olive Street Road, south of the bridge, took over the school. Around 1870, a one-room brick building was erected. In five years, the enrollment had out grown the space, so the brick building was dismantled and replaced with a larger frame structure. In 1934, a CWA (Civil Works Administration) project razed the building, dug a basement to house a furnace and replaced the structure with additional windows and electricity. On May

Walter and Marie Wardenburg were part of this 1933 picture of Bonhomme School. The teacher was Garlin Kellison. Courtesy of Della Bacon Kiehl.

26, 1951, the last class graduated from Bonhomme School. Later the building became the Old Schoolhouse Tavern which operated until the building was damaged in the 1993 flood. It was razed in 1998. The bell tower is now displayed at a Rockwood school in Eureka. Robert Stanton, a former official of the Rockwood School District, claimed Bonhomme School was “the finest example of a rural one-room school” he had ever seen. Many Bonhomme School graduates made their mark in the world as merchants, salesmen, barbers, lawyers, stenographers, secretaries, farmers, homemakers and teachers. The following became teachers: Lottie Boissellier, Nora Kroenung Bayer, Mary Sutton Bayer, Rose Sutton Coleman, Dorothy Broemmelsick Rankin, Margaret Corless Rickard and Garnet Schaeffer Glaser. Garnet Schaeffer (19081995) graduated from Bonhomme grade school in 1921 where Miss Jordan was the teacher. She graduated from Clayton High School in 1925 and then chesterfieldmochamber.com

attended Harris Teacher College in St. Louis where she received her teaching certification. She returned home to teach at the Chesterfield School for one year, then at the Bellefontaine School for the next seven years. These schools will be discussed in future articles. According to Hope Sellenreik Stemme, who attended Chesterfield School, Garnet, unlike most female residents of Chesterfield in the

1920s and 1930s, drove a machine (automobile). Garnet left teaching when she married Roy Glaser. The fathers of most of the students in all of Chesterfield’s one-room schoolhouses were farmers, many of whom served on the school board of directors. In William Thomas’ 1911 book, History of St. Louis County, he listed the members of the Bonhomme School Board: Domain Mueller, president; William Schulze, clerk; W. E. Sutton, director; and Ernest Albrecht, director. Obviously, parents considered education to be very important and the schools held a significant position in the various Chesterfield communities.

looking to dive deep into market, competitor and consumer research — especially for businesses looking to create prospecting and mailing lists. Lambert helped a friend in senior management at a retail company tap into library resources for valuable market data. “He wanted to pull demographic data for potential store sites and wanted his people to use the same source, instead of just Googling it,” Lambert says. “He realized he could get it all on DemographicsNow, along with retail data. He asked me if people knew about this.” Many do not — including one business owner who had been paying $10,000 for lists and now uses ReferenceUSA, for free, through the library. “I hear from people all the time who are so surprised by what we offer,” Lambert says, Business owners often approach her and ask, “You mean I can just pull a consumer direct mail list from you for free?” “Yes, you can definitely do that for free instead of paying for a list,” she says. She gives the example of a company targeting pet owners. “Do you own a cat or dog? We can direct you to the right database and show you how to pull a list.” ReferenceUSA and DemographicsNow are two of the more popular databases businesses can access through the library. Others are Mergent Intellect and Hoover’s Premium Online. The library uses tax dollars to pay for subscriptions to these databases, and they are free to use when you access them through the library website and login with your library card number. Book-a-Librarian Want some help navigating these databases? Lambert suggests scheduling a 30-60 minute session with a reference librarian at the library’s headquarters in Frontenac. “Probably one of the biggest services we offer is the Book-a-Librarian service. It’s pretty popular,” Lambert says. “If you are looking to find your market demographic, we’ll show you how to find it in our DemographicsNow database,” she says. “It’s a really great database with all these market research reports. You can pull different data for everything from the state level to a congressional district to a school district — all the way down to a zip code. @chesterfieldmochamber

@ChesterfieldCOC

We do a lot of Book-a-Librarian sessions for people looking for that information.” Lambert says a number of larger companies use the library databases to pull competitor data to create quarterly competitive analyses. Businesses just starting out often use Booka-Librarian for help figuring out where they can find industry and market information when writing a business plan. “We can book groups, as well,” adds Lambert. “For example, if your business wanted to do a training for the sales team on pulling prospecting lists, we’ll come out and train your team on how to use the database.” Online & In-Person Classes The library offers a full menu of business classes — both in person and online.

Rockwood Gives Back

t started seven years ago. A teacher noticed some students in her school were struggling. On Friday, students were hiding food taken from the school cafeteria because they knew it was the start of the weekend, and the next meal might not come until Monday when they returned to school at breakfast time. This teacher, along with a few others, went on to create Rockwood’s Got Your Backpack program to serve students who were struggling with food shortage. “We have students today who are literally homeless,” says Fairway teacher and Got Your Backpack founder Maureen Smith. “Some families live in their cars. Some live in homeless shelters. They live with uncertainty.” Rockwood Executive Director Student Services Dr. Terry Harris said the district currently has 128 students who are considered homeless. Seventy of those students are county residents, and 58 live in the city of St. Louis and participate in the voluntary transfer program. “As a school district we are committed to taking good care of all our students,” said Harris. “All 21,000 Rockwood students are members of our family.” Smith described how the program works. “Counselors or social workers contact families in need to let them know about the program. The kids bring their own backpacks to the staff member who is distributing, and they place the grocery bag full of donated items into the student’s backpack.” Smith said it’s done that way to be discreet. Where does the donated food come from? “It’s all donated,” said Smith. Volunteers pack the bags every week. Now, the program is growing into something even better. Rockwood Gives Back is extending a hand to all students in need. About 14 percent of Rockwood students qualify for the national free-and-reduced chesterfieldmochamber.com

meal program. While Rockwood ensures students have healthy meals during the school day and a backpack of food for the weekend, even more help is needed. Some students may have difficulty paying for things most take for granted. A prep test for the ACT. Tickets for homecoming. Funds to participate in afterschool activities. An online class to support their learning. Loralee Mondl and Jaime Bayes serve as volunteers for Rockwood Gives Back. “We believe we are stronger when we work together,’” shares Mondl. “Our vision is to generate multiple levels of support for Rockwood students who desperately need it.” The new program kicks off with the inaugural Run 4 Rockwood Kids on Oct. 7. The 5K and Family Fun Run starts at 3 p.m. with an event village hosted by Rockwood educators featuring kid-friendly activities, games and food trucks. It truly is a community-building event. Students in high school AMPED classes are making T-shirts for the 5K participants. Students in crosscountry teams will be helping with the family fun run course. Community businesses are sponsoring the event, as well as providing food and drinks. Bayes extends an invitation to all members of the Rockwood school community. “It’s heart work,” she says. “We are all volunteers just doing our best for our kids.”

Tis the Season...

he holiday season is fast approaching, and parents and grandparents are again faced with that age-old question, “What should I get my kids and my grandkids?” If you’re like many parents and grandparents, and dependent on the ages of those you’re gifting to, the list might include things like toys or electronics or video games…. well, you get the point. What if there were gifts that could help you reinforce the value of earning and saving money for future uses? Before you go out and purchase that traditional present, here are two ideas that incorporate the only two IRS tax codes that allow funds to grow tax free and tax exempt: Children’s Roth IRA Yes, you can open a Roth IRA for a child under 18 with the child as the owner and you, or another adult as the custodian. To accomplish this, the child must have earned income. The annual Roth IRA funding limit currently is $5,500 a year which means that if the child has earned income, they can contribute to whatever their earned income amount is, not to exceed $5,500. This amount can also be given to them as a gift. To facilitate the generation of earned income, you might consider opening a small business to hire your child or grandchild for contract work throughout the year. * Tax Code 7702 Account-The Secret Asset When structured by a fiduciary like LionsGate Advisors and funded strategically, 7702 accounts can provide your children and grandchildren with a source of funds throughout their lives for such things as retirement income, college education, down payments on a home and many other purposes. 7702 accounts are not restricted to a maximum annual contribution based on earned income like a Roth or Traditional IRA and can be accessed throughout children’s lives teaching them how to become their own bankers. If you’d like to know more about these two ideas or other types of non-traditional gifts you might consider for your kids and grandchildren this year, please give us a call at LionsGate Advisors.** (314-222-2788). It would be our privilege to assist you.
