April—Explore Spring symbolizes new beginnings. Nature reveals its beauty through budding trees and flowers, and the fresh temperate air invites us to spend more time outdoors. New life awakens joy in the beauty of our world and the desire to explore it.

We at St. George City Lifestyle encourage you to explore the wealth of diverse spots around southern Utah by taking in nature and the surrounding scenery. Whether it’s spending a day exploring Zion National Park or walking the Anasazi trails or enjoying the wonders of Snow Canyon Park.

Exploring may be attending a conference, photographing spring flowers, taking a day drive to visit a museum, visiting your supermarket to explore their new products or attending entertaining events. Oh, the list of things to explore is endless!

Exploring is doing—and we hope the destinations and activities featured this month will give you meaningful ideas you will more than just dream about.

And while you’re exploring, remember we would love to hear from you about your favorite hidden gems in the area and your go-to destinations, so drop us a line or share with us on Facebook or Instagram.

Here is to a happy spring full of adventure and peace and sunshine!

Respectfully,

H EA LT H Y LIF E ST Y LE | H E ALTH W E LLNE S S

AT YOUR SERVICE WITH MY TEAM MD DR. ERIC HOLTROP: DEVOTED FAMILY MAN,

WHOLEHEARTED PHYSICIAN AND ARDENT ATHLETE In the cheerful waiting room of Dr. Eric Holtrop’s medical practice, the furnishings consist of a single couch. Such minimalism embodies the type of “concierge” care that Eric delivers: If anyone must wait to see him, for any length of time, he apologizes profusely.

Since October 2021, Eric, who is board-certified in internal and hospital medicine, has offered highly personalized care in our community. He is among an estimated 1,500 such medical professionals nationwide who provide—in return for a flat annual rate—virtually every type of medical exam and treatment patients may require. It’s all based on Eric’s commitment to fitness, longevity and healing oneself from within. St. George City Lifestyle recently caught up with Eric and his wife and CFO, Helen, for a lively Q&A.

SGCL: HOW DOES CONCIERGE CARE DIFFER FROM A TRADITIONAL MEDICAL PRACTICE?

SGCL: HOW LONG HAVE YOU AND HELEN BEEN IN ST. GEORGE?

EH: Yes, when you run an ICU, you see every possible medical condition, and you must be able to respond immediately. So that background uniquely qualified me to open this type of practice.

EH: We moved here last fall, after I spent 21 years running an intensive care unit in Grass Valley, California. Helen and I are both avid cyclists—our motto is “anything on two wheels!”—and St. George is a dedicated cycling community. We can cycle here practically year-round, and it’s very safe.

EH: This model used to exist only in places like Beverly Hills, and it would cost about $30,000 a year. Here, our fee is $2,000 annually, or less than $200 per month. But that gives patients basically “unlimited” access to care. Because our practice is capped at 400, patients can see me as many times as might be needed for a particular issue, their appointments aren’t limited to 20 minutes, and their care is very personalized. Plus, I can provide a breadth of care, whether it’s dermatology, gynecology, pulmonology, cardiology or other areas.

SGCL: SO YOU’RE BASICALLY A MEDICAL JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES?

SGCL: GIVEN CONCIERGE CARE IS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE, WHY WOULD PATIENTS WANT TO SWITCH? EH: Our current insurance system is broken. Doctors juggle 4,000 patients, so appointments are typically five minutes. Often, patients only see a physician’s CONTINUED >

assistant, who spends all of their time looking at a computer screen. And if there’s another problem, that’s another appointment. Our preliminary consults are two hours, and medical appointments are often an hour. So we can really do a “deep dive” on every patient’s health. Plus, we emphasize non-invasive, non-medication-based therapy, and improving the patient’s overall lifestyle. I really function as a patient’s personal, private physician.

SGCL: SWITCHING GEARS HERE, SO TO SPEAK, YOU AND HELEN ARE AVID CYCLISTS AND ATHLETES? EH: Yes, Helen is actually an Ironman competitor. I love mountain biking, road biking, motorcycles, BMX racing and triathlons.

SGCL: SOUNDS LIKE YOU’RE ENJOYING THE OUTDOOR LIFE? EH: Absolutely. We have a little trailer, so we take camping trips and go riding all over. And we have a plane, so we put the rear seats down, throw the bikes in, and just go. You gotta have fun while you’re on the planet!

CAPTURING THE COLORS OF A DESERT SPRING ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY KAREN LUND LARSEN

Discovering blooms and beauty through the eye of a camera

The arrival of spring means it is time to begin my annual treasure hunt to find and photograph the new season of beautiful buds, blossoms and blooms!

Each year I anxiously wait and watch until I spot the first daffodils or crocuses peeking out of the ground. In early spring when the dull browns and grays of winter make room for colorful pops of bright yellows, purples and pinks, my camera and I come out of hibernation along with the emerging flowers.

In southern Utah we enjoy nature’s display of spring flowers for almost six months of the year. The show often begins around mid-February in the lower elevations with flowering trees and cool temperature blooms, and ends in July with a grand finale of glorious wildflower meadows in the higher elevations. During these months our beautiful deserts and mountains display an amazing variety of brilliant buds and blooms of all colors, sizes and shapes, with some that are only found in our own little corner of the world.

18

O UT D OOR A DV E N T U R E | BE AUTY

Flower photography is fun and rewarding because the subject matter is always colorful and cheerful, and because no experience or fancy cameras are needed! If you are a budding photographer, choose a lightly overcast day with no wind and no harsh shadows to begin your own treasure hunt. For the most impact, fill the frame by getting as close to the subject flower as your camera or mobile phone will focus. Then check the edges of the frame and recompose to eliminate any distracting objects. Also, look for an unusual point of view, or maybe photograph only a small part of the flower for a unique and interesting composition.

On the opposite and following pages are a few of the many beautiful blooms that may be found and photographed in southern Utah.

Now, it’s your turn to explore and enjoy your photography quest this spring!

P H OTO - P S YC H O LO GY: THE DEEPER MEANING

C R E AT I V E A R T S PA : C R E AT I V E KINESTHETIC MINDFULNESS

Asher laid his hands on a camera for the first time at four years old to frame the extraordinary world he saw but for which he did not yet have descriptors. His passion for capturing a finite moment and making it infinite led Asher to Southern Utah University, where he graduated with a B.I.S. in Photography with an emphasis in Studio Fine Arts. He also completed a psychology degree with an emphasis in behavior and neurology. He is currently the staff photographer for St. George City Lifestyle Magazine.

Elizabeth Gunter, known as EL, believes art can transform the world by forging new connections within a single mind, a small group or an entire community. This led her to open ART Provides, her studio, event space and gallery in the heart of St. George’s historic district. Raised in New York, educated in Chicago, and drawn to the red rocks of Utah, she says art has been a part of her life from the beginning and shapes her present. She enjoys art, of course, but also traveling, the outdoors, meditating, spending time with two adorable children and meeting real people with flaws, dreams, and talents all their own.

G. ERIC MILES

Born and raised in Washington, D.C., G. Eric Miles learned about politics, democracy and diplomacy from an early age.

Being raised in a household dedicated to education, Eric became enamored with language and vocabulary, which ultimately led to a love of poetry. His education, travel and experiences during America’s turbulent decades of radical social change have also provided a unique perspective.

NASHVILLE PERFORMING ARTISTS

DREW & LACEY WILLIAMS

Drew & Lacey spent a decade immersed in the Nashville music scene, and individually performing more than 30 years each. The couple spent time on music row recording, writing and collaborating with top musicians. Drew & Lacey truly shine when they are on stage. Their stage presence is dynamic and magnetic. It is this magnetism that allowed them to sell out the Rutledge live music venue in downtown Nashville for six years in a row. In a town where live music is notoriously saturated, the buzz created from the duo’s live show was unique.

Oh! the places we'll go . . .

ARTICLE BY JANICE BROOKS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANICE BROOKS; WATER CANYON RESORT

Humans have always possessed the desire to explore, with a soul-deep yearning to “know” what surrounds one’s own home, neighborhood and city. Exploring new places near where we live can be a wonderful experience. We return home enriched, renewed and enlightened by our explorations.

And, the amazing month of April is the perfect time to get out and about in southern Utah.

Whether traveling solo, duo or with family and friends, there’s much to discover nearby.

WATER CANYON RESORT Sometimes it takes is a change of scenery to rehydrate our lives. Water Canyon Resort is just the place to discover or rediscover the beauty of nature. The resort is located in, and surrounded by, the unique red rock landscapes of Hildale. Guest studios, almost 500 square feet each, are elegant and classy. Each studio has its own private courtyard with a fire pit and a small grill top. Propane grills are also available upon request. The majestic Waterfall Trailhead is only CONTINUED >

KANAB CREEK BAKERY I once drove 90 miles from Ivins to Kanab, just to buy a dozen croissants at the Kanab Creek Bakery. Why? Because the bakery exemplifies two qualities I admire greatly, in individuals and businesses: consistency and perfection.

Kanab Creek Bakery has created a unique cultural experience for diners.

Wood-fired oven preparation is the culinary method that has contributed to its success. This old-world tool is used in the preparation of many of the hot food menu items. Traditional croque-madame cooked in a cast iron skillet before being paired with an egg, sunny-side up, is one of the bakery’s signature dishes, coupled with the freshly-baked European bread and pastries. This is food to “live” for and well worth the drive from St. George.

MAYNARD DIXON LEGACY MUSEUM Maynard Dixon, a prominent artist in the 1920s through 1940s, is best known for his landscape paintings of the American West. He moved to Mount Carmel in 1939, shortly after marrying Edith Hamlin, a muralist from San Francisco. The Dixons spent their summers in the home, which is now a museum in Mount Carmel. Maynard died in 1946, and Edith brought his ashes back to his Mount Carmel home. Shortly afterward, Edith ordered the construction of a painting studio on the lot, where she created several of her notable works. The property is currently owned by Paul and Susan Bingham, and is on the National

TDS donates $20,000 to the Housing Action Coalition to find affordable residential solutions in Washington County

A Local Business that Ventures to Connect ARTICLE BY CHERYL MCCOLLUM | PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF TDS

How the community is taking notice of TDS TDS associates use their company-provided service hours to sort food at the Utah Food Bank

Beyond providing better high-speed internet, TV and phone services for the region, TDS is making meaningful connections, and community organizations are taking notice.

The company’s business accolades alone are impressive, winning gold-level recognition as the Best Internet Provider in the Best of Southern Utah awards in 2021. Yet for TDS, it has always been about more than just business.

Since arriving in southern Utah nearly seven years ago, the company has ventured to connect with the community, get involved and help to make it a better place.

The result? The company’s community giving is paying off for everyone, as evidenced by the community accolades TDS has also accrued. The Southern Utah Home Builders Association recently named TDS Telecom its Above & Beyond award winner for 2021 for going above and beyond when it comes to sponsoring events for the association and in the community.

TDS was also named the 2020 Outstanding Business of the Year by Root for Kids, a local nonprofit family support center.

"TDS has been a really strong partner with us through the years," said Root for Kids Chief Executive Officer, Suzanne Leonelli.

"You are there for us every day and you step up and help us during times like we are experiencing right now. Thank you for being eager to donate the internet for our annual Radiothon, bring volunteers, and come to our rescue with a generous donation when we opened the emergency childcare for first responders' kids."

Donna MacBean of Neighborhood Connection also praised TDS after the coronavirus pandemic hit.

“Our nonprofit could no longer feed the kids on the weekends. We teamed up with Washington County to find families that had empty fridges and we reached out to TDS to help fill them. Typical of TDS and Brenda Cody, TDS was quick to respond and always looks for ways to serve our community.”

The TDS community giving plan is well-rounded, with monetary and other forms of donations. In the last year alone, TDS has donated $20,000 to the Housing Action Coalition in Washington County, $5,000 to the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, and has provided additional support for Root for Kids and the St. George Children’s Museum. TDS also donated 600 pounds of food to the Mesquite Lights Salvation Army Food Bank, personal hygiene and cleaning products to RRCI: Empowering People with Disabilities, and more.

TDS associates also volunteer in the communities TDS serves—from sorting food at the Utah Food Bank, to cleaning, painting and building to support the Washington County Children's Justice Center, and to partnering with families in need with Habitat for Humanity of Southwest Utah to help construct their future homes. This is made possible in part by the company’s “Be Good Citizens” program, which provides employees with 16 hours of paid volunteer time off every year.

At the heart, giving back is an integral part of the TDS culture. From hands-on volunteering and serving on local boards, to in-kind and financial support, TDS takes a vested interest in the growth and success of the surrounding community—a venture in giving that is making things better for the residents of southern Utah.
