SPIDERS ARE READY FOR SPRING
ARE YOU?
SPIDER CONTROL
There are several different species of spiders in Missouri, but only two are poisonous – Brown Recluse and Black Widows. Thorough spider control treatment includes treatment on the exterior, interior, attic and crawl space (if present). Excessive interior clutter, storage and undisturbed areas can contribute to the magnitude of the spider population. Steve’s Pest Control will eliminate your Pest Problem and stop the Sping Pest Invasion. Steve Guarantees It.

Spring Cleaning Organization is refreshing when it comes to spaces.

INSIDE COLUMBIA MARCH 2019
GTV had my number with the show “Fixer Upper.” I say “had” because the channel canceled the show, and none of its other shows quite holds my attention as well as “Fixer Upper” did, though I’m still watching the reruns. It’s been rumored that Chip and Joanna Gaines are launching their own channel; if so, I can’t wait. I love home design. I suppose what I love about watching HGTV is seeing the possibilities of what a space, room or home could be. In another life, I might have been an interior designer; as it is, my family puts up with me rearranging the furniture on a regular basis. When doing so, I’m sometimes left with a few things that don’t quite fit the décor afterward. I have been watching Marie Kondo’s Netflix series on organizing and letting go of old, tired things but haven’t quite mastered the “spark joy” concept, though it has given me encouragement when considering letting go of some clothing items I haven’t worn in a year. On page 77 we discuss options with an area organization professional, plus places where you can donate or recycle your unwanted items should you choose to tackle some spring cleaning this month. In this issue, we also visit with Kim French and tour her and husband Boyd’s home in Old Hawthorne. For years, Kim had been collecting ideas on what she liked, squirreling them away in a binder to wait for the day they would build their dream home. On page 68, you can see some of the features area artisans brought to life in their contemporary midMissouri home. We also found an artisan at Kingswood woodworking who is doing some amazing work with raw wood. You can check him out on page 62. All this talk of house cleaning reminds me to tell you: Some new things are coming. We’ve been working hard over the past few months to assess the stories we bring you in this space and the way in which we do that. We’ve surveyed readers and evaluated design. This issue has a few of those changes already taking place. In April, the first issue of Inside Columbia’s 15th year, we’ve got some new and exciting things in store, so get ready!
ARE YOU BIASED? PROMOTION
Most investors can be classified as either overconfident or “status quo” investors. Overconfident investors tend to trade too much and status quo investors don’t trade enough. The best advice is to find a happy medium between the two types. Research shows that overconfidence is connected to excessive trading and usually results in poor investment returns, especially over the long-run. Overconfidence can also lead investors to fail to appropriately diversify their portfolios. To resist this bias, investors need to recognize the signs of overconfidence (such as attributing a few short-term “wins” to superior knowledge, abilities or skills—when maybe it was just luck). Individual investors are unlikely to have better information, intuition or analytical powers than all the professional analysts on Wall Street. Ultimately, you should be investing your serious money for the long-term rather than trading for the short-term.
The “status quo” bias reveals the drawbacks of a simple one-decision “buy and hold” strategy for long-term investors. To resist this bias, investors should implement a disciplined investment strategy based on their tolerance for risk and rebalance their portfolio at least yearly. Research also suggests that the simple act of rebalancing can be a performance-enhancing, yet risk-reducing, measure. So, the question is, which investor are you? Do you struggle with the biases of overconfidence or status quo or have you found a way to balance the two? When was the last time your portfolio was rebalanced? These seemingly simple, yet fundamental, questions could largely impact the results you experience as an investor.

Xingyi Que, MD, specializes in cardiothoracic surgery. He’s what you’d call a leader in medical discovery. In fact, he’s one of the only doctors in mid-Missouri who, with one procedure, can stop abnormal tissue growth inside and outside the heart from causing the potentially fatal heart rhythms of those with persistent AFib. In medical terms, they call it hybrid-convergent ablation surgery – but if you ask him, he’ll tell you it comes down to three simple words. muhealth.org/hearts

Man-ifest Destiny Explore the CoMo Man Show.

entlemen, start your engines. There will be plenty to get revved up about at The CoMo Man Show on Saturday, March 9, at the Plaza Event Center at Parkade. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., attendees can enjoy a show dedicated to all things manly and the chance to revel in a terrific testosterone-tinged time. More than 1,000 people packed the show last year, and even though it’s called The CoMo Man Show, they weren’t all men. There were women and even families. This year will be the show’s third, and it promises to be even bigger and better than ever. Sponsored by Zimmer Radio and Marketing Group, it will feature popular on-air personality Trevor Morgan of 96.7 KCMQ’s “Morning Shag” as the emcee. “Everything that men like will be represented: food, drinks, guns, fishing, hunting, beards, power sports, golf,”

Morgan says. “Something for everyone! Many guys have made it an excuse for a ‘guys’ day out.’ It’s fun to go around to the different booths and check out all the cool stuff you’ve always talked about getting and even discovering some stuff you didn’t even know existed. We have raffles, giveaways and contests all day long!” The best part of the show is interacting with others, he says. “You can find a booth that has something you like and strike up a conversation, swap some stories and maybe find a new passion or hobby. That, and we always have some really cool giveaways. Last year we gave away an all-inclusive deep sea fishing trip to the Bahamas!” Morgan cites the wing-eating contest as another highlight from last year. “Attendees sign up to see who can eat the most wings! It’s usually quite the spectacle,” he says. This year’s show will
once again feature that messy match-off. Eddie Bunnell is an avid CoMo Man Show fan who has attended the show both years it’s been held. He says the first year really made an impression on him. “Showing up to the thing, it really blew my mind there were so many vendors,” he says. “The concept is really cool.” He particularly enjoys how interactive the show is, saying that almost every booth has some kind of game or activity. One booth he really enjoyed last year had a welding simulator. Bunnell acknowledges that the show is geared toward men but says he took his preteen daughter with him and they both had a blast both years. He plans to attend with her again this year. “I’ll go every year that they have it,” he says. To learn more, visit www.comomanshow.com.

CHRISTINE FRANZESE, MD University of Missouri Health Care
Growing up in upstate New York, Christine Franzese, MD, had a role model who inspired her to pursue a career in medicine. Now, she hopes to show her own girls that they can reach lofty goals. “My aunt was a family practitioner, and her office was actually in her home,” Franzese says. “We grew up seeing her taking care of patients, and that inspired me as something I would like to do.” Franzese followed her passion to medical school at the State University of New York and eventually to MU Health Care, where she is a board-certified otolaryngologist — an ear, nose and throat doctor — as well as a professor of clinical otolaryngology at the MU School of Medicine. Empowering women in health care is one of Franzese’s passions. She has been the chair of her section of Women in Otolaryngology, president of the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy and the first chair of the Otolaryngology Program Director’s Organization. “Women in surgery are generally underrepresented, so being chair of Women in Otolaryngology was a particular honor,” Franzese says. “I also have two daughters who are used to their mom working, and they know that they can also work and achieve.” Outside of work, Franzese and her husband — MU Health Care nephrologist Michael Shoemaker-Moyle, MD — enjoy traveling with their daughters. “We’ve visited different Caribbean countries like Belize, Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras,” Franzese says. “My daughter was studying Mayan ruins, so we intentionally went on two excursions to visit different Mayan ruins. We try to get those different types of experiences.”

CHANDA NEAL Columbia Manor
Chanda Neal finds her job with Columbia Manor incredibly rewarding. “I really enjoy helping people, and when you enjoy your work it is easy to be successful,” she says. Helping people is what Columbia Manor is all about. It provides physical rehabilitation and services to help residents return home after an acute hospital stay. It also provides care for residents requiring longterm care and hospice care. Neal says she enjoys working with Columbia Manor residents and hearing their life experiences, and learning from their wisdom. The path to her job wasn’t easy — she was in school at the same time as her children. She had been a stay-at-home mom who decided to return to school to earn her degree. That flexibility is a must in her business, she says. “You have to be able to multi-task and prioritize in this field. Needs can change quickly, and you must be able to respond timely and appropriately.” When not working, Neal enjoys spending time with family and friends over a meal or around a campfire.

The Story Behind the Song Three things you may not know about your favorite music.
T
his selection of top trending songs across the genres will keep you in the know on the music scene. Here’s some insider information on how top artists found their inspiration.
“MISS ME MORE” BY KELSEA BALLERINI Country music’s darling, Kelsea Ballerini, isn’t holding back any punches with her latest song, “Miss Me More.” If she was writing from a personal experience, she just gutpunched the guy who scorned her. “Miss Me More” draws on a contemporary country and pop theme with its instrumentals, but its lyrics are country to the core. With words that strike like lightning — “I forgot I had dreams; I forgot I had wings. Forgot who I was before I ever kissed you. Yeah, I thought I’d miss you, but I miss me more” — this song shows off more mature lyrics than “Dibs” or “Love Me Like You Mean It.” Ballerini perfectly summarizes a bad relationship that has run its course with just a few words: You’ll “miss me more.”
“LOVE SOMEONE” BY LUKAS GRAHAM The Danish pop group Lukas Graham, fronted by Lukas Graham Forchhammer, caught our ears as their single “7 Years” rose on the charts in 2015. It was their ability to connect while telling a story that struck a chord in our hearts. Enter “Love Someone,” a song that might be showing up at weddings for years to come. The band was even asked to assist with a proposal during the song’s performance at a recent concert. (She said “yes,” by the way.) With lyrics such as “ ’cause you still look perfect as days go by, even the worst ones you make me smile,” and “I’d stop the world

if it gave us time,” it’s no wonder why it’s becoming a must-add to romantic playlists.
“NOTHING BREAKS LIKE A HEART” BY MARK RONSON FT. MILEY CYRUS Six years ago, Miley Cyrus was busy shedding her Disney child-star image for a new party-girl persona and becoming controversial and risqué as she dropped her “Bangerz” album, featuring “Wrecking Ball” and “We Can’t Stop.” While notoriety followed, music success didn’t. Cyrus failed to appeal as a serious artist. She softened up and rebooted with 2017’s “Younger Now.” “Malibu”” did okay, Though the single ““Malibu there was nothing worthwhile to follow. She had become an artist who was stuck trying to find her true identity … until now. “Nothing Breaks Like A Heart” embodies who Cyrus has become and who she likely truly wants to be. It’s twangy at times, which fits her heritage, roots and sound. You almost sense hints of Godmother Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” which Cyrus has successfully covered. Being a world-famous DJ Mark Ronson track, it kicks the twang of heartbreak with a fun dance vibe and

ROBINSON’S RAMBLINGS

LIFE
Snakes? Shamrocks? Patrick’s real story is better.
L
ooking for something different to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Drive to the northeast corner of Missouri to the tiny village of St. Patrick, near the Mississippi River. The community was founded in 1833 by Irish immigrants and is the site of the Shrine of St. Patrick, a medieval-influenced Catholic church. The U.S. Post Office on Erin Circle is the only place in the world where you can send a letter postmarked with the name of this legendary evangelist. If you love St. Patrick because you hate snakes, you might be the victim of fake news. Best anybody can tell, snakes might never have slithered on Irish soil. No matter. Patrick deserves sainthood for a more noble reason: He saved civilization. That theory is compelling and is
34
INSIDE COLUMBIA MARCH 2019
as believable as the fantastical tale about driving snakes into the sea. Whenever your children complain about reading classical Greek and Roman literature, tell them to blame St. Patrick, whose actions might have saved those great works. Few details survive about Patrick’s life. As a teenager he was captured by Irish pirates in Roman-era Britain and brought to Ireland as a slave to herd sheep. Ireland in the early fifth century was a land of druids and warring tribes. Superstition and fear of monsters, demons and sudden death often drove the island’s inhabitants to drink themselves to sleep. Patrick turned to God and eventually escaped captivity to live in Britain. He later returned to Ireland to convert its people to Christianity. Patrick combined Catholic
teachings with Celtic and druid folklore because he knew the Irish love a great story. By the time of his death in 580, he had changed an island of illiterate pagan, sacrificial, warring tribes into literate, peaceful people. Patrick’s works led to the monastic movement, and that’s How The Irish Saved Civilization — the title of an intriguing book by Thomas Cahill. Centuries after Patrick’s death, during the Dark Ages, illiterate hordes invaded the European mainland and laid waste to the dying remnants of the Roman Empire. The hordes torched everything, especially Roman literature and libraries. The scribes of Irish monasteries kept and preserved their copies of the great Roman classics — the only copies to survive the invasion. Virgil and Ovid. Petronius and Julius
Caesar. Marcus Aurelius. Irish monks also saved the ancient Greek classics by copying the works of Homer and Plato, Aristotle and Socrates. Thanks to Patrick’s pioneering work, the Irish monasteries saved civilization, according to Cahill. This story is as believable as driving snakes out of Ireland. Sweeping the snake tale aside, every Irish child knows this story: Clough Patrick is known as the Irish Mount Sinai because of what St. Patrick did there. Patrick ascended Clough Patrick and fasted for 40 days, during which time he encountered a scourge of demons — hideous birds. He rang a bell to scatter the demons, and the bell was heard throughout Ireland. The demon birds flew away and plunged into the sea. But even after driving out the demon birds, Patrick turned to wrestle with God to gain favor for the Irish. He descended the mountain only when God granted him the favor of judging the Irish people on Judgment Day. Hitchcock might have sensed this all along: The demons in Ireland were birds, not snakes. Regardless, Patrick calmed pagan fears about demons and devils, and turned the Irish eye toward literacy. His legacy is phenomenal: An island with a smaller population than Missouri has turned out a steady stream of the world’s great writers and musicians. So wear your green, decorate with shamrocks and hoist a toast to the patron saint of Ireland. But keep in mind that St. Patrick might have been a teetotaler, according to Cahill. That’s another theory for another day. After all, is nothing sacred? “Beannachtam na Femle Padraig,” or happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Trust Your Gut That pit in your stomach is a nutrition thing.
H
ave you wondered about the phrase “trust your gut”? If only the naked eye could see the many tasks the gut performs throughout its lifecycle. Believe it or not, the neurons found in the brain also populate the gut. This is important because the lining of the gut has upwards of 200 million neurons, significantly more than the spinal cord, thus giving it the moniker “second brain.” Although the neurons in the gut might not aid in political or religious decisions, the enteric nervous system, which is a mesh-like network of neurons lining the entire digestive tract, is responsible for the sensation of nervous butterflies or a pit in the stomach that activates parts of our psychological stress responses. The cause of this reaction is the lack of good bacteria these neurons use for communication with the brain and the rest of the body. This multifactorial network of neurons in the enteric nervous system enables us to “feel” the inner world of our gut and its contents. Mainly, gut neurons are responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients and expelling waste, essentially the digestion processes. However, what makes the gut and its network of neurons most fascinating is it can work independently of the brain. In fact, it is the second brain that alerts our true brain
of any incoming dangers, emotional upsets and mood disorders. The enteric nervous system uses more than 30 neurotransmitters, similar to the brain, and 95 percent of the body’s serotonin (the contributor of well-being) is found in the gut. Not surprisingly, drugs prescribed for depression — ones meant to induce chemical changes in the brain — can’t do so without the participation of the gut, and the side effects are more detrimental. In fact, improper functioning of the GI tract has sometimes been dubbed as the “mental illness” of the “second brain.” The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, claimed “all disease begins in the gut,” and almost 2,000 years later this theory has become the center of the rush to find cures for chronic diseases or diseases of lifestyle. Type 2 diabetes, bone disorders, cholesterol imbalances and several cancers originate in the gut. Nutrition, or lack thereof, is responsible for the state of the second brain, advertently affecting the bacterial colonies that operate as messengers between the gut and our psychological and physiological state of mind. Next time you feel moody, anxious or unsettled, it might be worth exploring whether your diet is supporting the gut so you’re able to utilize the innate power we are all born with: the power with which our bodies self-heal and protect us on a
daily basis. Our gut communicates with the immune system on an ongoing basis; therefore, it is crucial to feed these neurons essential nutrients to empower these innate functions. After all, at least 70 percent of our immune system is aimed at the gut to expel and kill foreign invaders.
THINK TWICE — LITERALLY Research has made it increasingly evident that we think twice — literally! What I mean by that is our two brains constantly think together for us, or rather, they have an ongoing channel of communication fueled by essential nutrients and a slew of good bacteria. This could herald good news for those who suffer from anxiety or depression. Studies indicate those with healthy gut microbes are less likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, mood swings and other psychological maladies. Unhealthy environments within the gut are affected by the quality of nutrition, followed by consumption of processed foods, pharmaceuticals (primarily antibiotics), alcohol, smoking and other lifestyle choices. Therefore, the next time a craving for sugar or a high-fat meal comes on, think twice. And if you still decide to indulge, then make an effort to note after said meal is digested whether you experience anxiety, increased cravings of similar food or aches and pains, especially headaches and migraines, among others.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
THE ROOTS OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH Indeed, studies show nutrition plays an important role in gut health in relation to causes and treatments for mood disorders such as depression. Some studies have gone so far as to recommend nutrition, specifically fermented foods rich in prebiotics and probiotics, to eliminate mental diseases and chronic diseases such as high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes and certain cancers In a Biological Psychiatry article, the authors suggest that even severe and chronic mental health problems, including post-traumatic stress disorder, might be eliminated through the use of certain probiotics. Studies have indicated that the gut might be an integral part of the subconscious mind; therefore, feeding the gut with the right foods might have a lot to do with our thought process in general. Our ability to think positive thoughts and feel emotionally uplifted is strongly associated with the chemical messages broadcast by the gut. Serotonin released during sleep has also been shown to influence dreams and overall sleep quality. In light of this information, optimizing the environment within the gut might be the answer to fighting long-term chronic health issues while enabling our bodies and brain to deal with the stressors of daily life. Regularly consuming fermented and cultured foods is the easiest, most effective and least expensive way to make a significant impact on your gut microbiome and enhance that “gut” feeling. Healthy choices include Greek yogurt, kefir and fermented vegetables. Supplements might not have the same positive effect, as clinical evidence has repeatedly shown that they can do more harm than good. In many cases (unless there are predisposed medical conditions), nutrients must be derived from foods for best digestion, assimilation and absorption purposes. However, should you be taking antibiotics or other medications, it might be worth discussing with your health professional whether temporary supplementation of probiotics might be a necessary addition to your routine. The gut and brain exchange messages back and forth for as long as the heart beats. Therefore, it is only fair that we feed our brain nutrients that allow for a healthy exchange while providing our immune system the necessary ammunition to keep lifestyle diseases like cancers at bay.

LIF E MISO RAMEN SOUP If you’ve ever been to a Japanese sushi restaurant, then you’ve probably indulged in some probiotic-rich miso soup. Miso paste, the main ingredient in this gutfriendly soup, is made from fermented soy and contains millions of microorganisms similar or identical to those beneficial bacteria that live in your gut. Nutritionally miso paste is rich in B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium. One important tip when making miso soup: The probiotic organisms in miso paste can be destroyed by exposure to heat; therefore, to preserve the probiotics, do not heat the
soup broth with the miso paste in it. The second-most important gutfriendly ingredient in this soup is bone broth. Bone broth can be made from chicken or beef. Bone broth is a rich source of collagen, which is required for the upkeep of healthy bones, joints and skin. This soup can be made with almost any vegetables or meat of choice. The ingredients listed below are chosen to optimize the nutritional value of the soup this time of the year. For example, use mushrooms because they are one of the richest sources of vitamin D.
Ingredients
Directions
2 tablespoons sesame oil 1 cup vegetables of choice (carrots, peppers, onions, broccoli, squash, etc.) 1 cup mushrooms of choice, diced 1 teaspoon ginger paste 1 teaspoon garlic paste 2 cups beef or chicken bone broth 2 cups light coconut milk Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons tamari 1 teaspoon siracha sauce, or more depending on desired heat 12 ounces extra firm tofu, drained and diced (or protein of choice) ½ cup yellow or white miso paste 4 ounces ramen noodles, cooked per instructions ½ cup scallions, diced ½ cup cilantro, chopped
Heat the sesame oil and sauté vegetables until slightly brown. Add the ginger and garlic and continue sautéing. Add the broth and coconut milk and bring the mix to a boil. Add the salt, pepper, tamari and siracha paste. Add the tofu and turn off the heat. In a separate cup or bowl, mix the miso paste with some warm water and blend until the paste is smooth. Remove the soup mix from heat and add in the miso blend. Layer the cooked noodles in a bowl, add the soup, garnish with scallions and cilantro. If you want to make this soup a protein-rich dinner, add half a hard-boiled egg as one of the toppings. Note: If opting for a vegan recipe, while there isn’t a bone broth substitute for vegans or vegetarians, using mineral-rich vegetables and adding mushrooms to the broth can enhance the nutritional value. Serves 2.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY was invented by John Joly in 1894. Joly was a renowned Irish inventor who was responsible for many innovations, including the use of radiation for cancer treatment.

A CURE FOR LEPROSY was invented by Vincent Barry, who discovered compound B663 by chance while trying to solve Ireland’s tuberculosis problem during the 1940s. The compound has been used in drugs that have helped to cure about 15 million people.

THE SUBMARINE was invented by John Philip Holland in 1881 in County Clare. There had never been anything like it, and he named his invention the “Fenian Ram.” Less than 10 years later, the U.S. Navy was formally commissioning his craft.

spend the rest of the session practicing one-handed and/or two-handed throwing. This sport, which started in Canada with people throwing axes at stumps, has evolved in the United States to include both a National Axe Throwing Federation and a World Axe Throwing League (WATL). Its first championship took place in 2017, and WATL aired on ESPN2 and ESPN3 in December 2018. Wiemholt says COMO Axe Attack hopes to have customers competing in the WATL championship in December 2019. A recent Wall Street Journal article predicted that axe-throwing is primed to be as popular as bowling once was.

AXES. You can bring your own, but they must be inspected to determine whether they are safe for throwing.

umberjacks are definitely people you think of as being tough and vigorous. Now you can learn how to throw the axe around just like they do right here in mid-Missouri.

One might assume that strength is most important when it comes to throwing axes, but COMO Axe Attack co-owner Cassie Wiemholt says finesse is paramount. “Even a half-inch difference in your stance has a big effect,” Wiemholt says.

ven a reasonably fit person can’t just breeze into rock climbing. “There’s really no other workout that hits your muscles the same way or prepares you for the grip strength required with rock climbing,” says local climber Curt Kippenberger. If you are a beginner, Kippenberger cautions, you might want to limit yourself to no more than two or three times a week for about an hour and a half each time. Mid-Missourians don’t have to travel far to rock climb. Capen Park is a convenient location for anyone living in Columbia. “You can get off of work at 5 or 6, get down there and still have time for three to four hours’ worth of climbing if you want it,” Kippenberger says.
Rock climbing is gaining popularity throughout the world — it will be a new event in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo — and locally. Bouldering Garden, a rock-climbing gym in Columbia, offers outdoor rock climbing classes lasting between two to four hours per session. CoMo Rocks, a climbing gym set to open soon in Columbia, should “create a stronger community for the sport,” says Dave McGee, one of three owners of the new gym. Kippenberger says the challenge of rock climbing isn’t so much physical as it is the mental test of problem-solving while suspending your body weight off the ground.

ULTRA L RUNNING
iving in Columbia, with its countless scenic trails and pedestrian-friendly climate, it is almost too easy to take up running, which is why some local runners have graduated to ultra running — any race that is longer than a traditional 26.2-mile marathon — to push themselves further. Columbia hosts two such races this year, one in the spring and one in the fall. If the thought of competing in such a race is overwhelming, take heart — there is plenty of support in mid-Missouri. There are several track clubs, including the Columbia Track Club, composed of runners who get together on a regular basis (at least once a week) to pool their collective training advice while going on long runs. Jed Taylor, owner of Columbia Landcare and a local ultra runner, recommends consulting sports equipment professionals to help you get started. At Tryathletics, he says, “they will actually watch you run on a treadmill and observe how your feet pronate so they can pick out the specific type of running shoe that will best help you.” In other words, don’t just buy the cheapest running shoes available online. Taylor also emphasizes how important it is to properly fuel your body for endurance running and recommends visiting hammernutrition.com for important tips on “endurance fueling.” In addition to the two ultra races mentioned, Columbia hosts the Heart of America Marathon every Labor Day. “It’s apparently the toughest non-mountain marathon in the USA,” says Tom Allen, a member of the Columbia Track Club.
WHERE TO GO
Rock Bridge Memorial State Park; anywhere hilly
RACES

EQUIPMENT NEEDED
COURTESY OF MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION
Heavy power-fishing rod and reel
KEEP IN MIND
Must have a Missouri fishing license and be aware of size requirements for snagging spoonbill.
TIPS
It is easier to catch spoonbill where the current is stronger and they are on the move (time of day doesn’t matter).
FUN FACTS
Spoonbill can live to be 30 years old. In 1997, Missouri designated spoonbill as the state’s official aquatic animal.
or someone who likes to fish, snagging spoonbill is a perfect fit. It is the only chance you have (without leaving Missouri) to “catch a fish that weighs over 70 pounds,” says Jim Bealmer, a local fisherman who has been snagging spoonbill for most of his life. A regular pole and line aren’t appropriate to catch a fish this big. Bealmer recommends visiting either Tombstone Tackle or Bass Pro and letting the professionals make sure you have a heavy enough rod and reel before trying to catch spoonbill. Also, baiting the hook with earthworms dug up in the front yard doesn’t work. Part of the difference between snagging and fishing is that, when snagging, the hook has no bait. Spoonbill get to be as big as they are on a preferred diet of water fleas and plankton; they don’t go for worms. Check the Missouri Department of Conservation
website ahead of time, as there are requirements. Currently, a person may catch a maximum of only two spoonbills a day. Also, if a spoonbill is smaller than a specific size, it must be released back into the water. MARCH 2019 INSIDE COLUMBIA

SPORT SHOOTING H
itting a stationary target can be challenging for some, and it’s a rare person who can hit one or more fast-moving targets. “Depending on how good your hand-to-eye coordination is, I’ve seen folks pick up the basics in a single day,” says Jerry Kelleher of Prairie Grove Shotgun Sports in Columbia. From there, Kelleher says, you can improve as much as you want. You can shoot one target moving in a straight direction, multiple targets moving in multiple directions and multiple trajectories, and anything in between at the 120-acre location. “We get folks coming in all the time that have never shot a gun before, like fraternity or sorority events,” Kelleher says, “and they find out they love it and start coming regularly.” Kelleher cautions novices not to buy a gun right away, as they can cost anywhere from $300 to several thousand dollars. “We have a few different rifles here that you can try to see what style works best for you before you buy your own,” he says. Shooting isn’t a sport that a person ages out of. People of all ages can sharpen their skills over a lifetime. Target and speed variety provides ample options for challenge.
WHERE TO GO
Prairie Grove Shotgun Sports (Columbia) River Hills Sporting Clays (Boonville)
EQUIPMENT NEEDED Rifle or pistol Ear plugs Safety glasses Gun apron or nail apron
TIPS Safety first. When not actively shooting, always keep the gun open and empty. Don’t wear shirts with baggy sleeves, as they can interfere with handling.
FUN FACTS Any one of these activities can instill a sense of vigor and toughness in an individual. They also teach a person to accept and enjoy the fortune that is present in most successes.

LIVING IN COLOR
METROPOLITAN REFLECTS QUIETUDE AND VERSATILITY. BY REBECCA FRENCH SMITH
N
ot many in the room in midJanuary at Johnston Paint expected Jason Walker, a Benjamin Moore paint architectural and design representative, to announce a light gray as Benjamin Moore’s color of the year. Technically known as Metropolitan AF-690, it is a stark contrast coming off of last year’s Caliente, a power red. Caliente was an energizing color. It was a motivating color. It was a color about passion, Walker says. “This is the year of what we call quietude… “This is the year that the color is not a Lady Gaga; it’s a backup dancer.” Interior designer Drew Parker feels there is more to Metropolitan than gray. “It’s really a blue,” he says. “It’s not a gray; I mean it’s a grayed out blue, but it’s a blue…. It comes off blue with a little bit of green undercast.” Parker points out, “Colors that have blue in them tend to get more blue when they get on the wall.” Because grays are made up

INSIDE COLUMBIA MARCH 2019
of so many colors, even the slightest excess of blue or lavender or green will tilt the balance of the gray. Metropolitan is a good example of that; when it’s compared to a true gray, the difference is apparent. Metropolitan is a chameleon. In the past couple of years, color palettes centered on saturated colors balanced by pastels. With Metropolitan, there’s a shift back to bolder colors. Hale Navy (an almost black navy), Kendall Charcoal and Hunter Green are a few punctuation colors on the slate. “I know we have an aversion to Hunter, right?” Walker asks. “To me, it’s one of those timeless colors that just got overused, and it’s one that I think doesn’t ever go out of style.” Johnston Paint interior designer Lisa Medley notes that Hunter Green is making a comeback, as well. “It’s kind of back out there now. It’s more of a European look,” she says.
More traditional colors are paired with Metropolitan, Walker says. “We’ve had a lot of energy put towards a new, new, new, new, new, and this year there’s a bit of cocooning. So, we did pick a lot of colors that I think we have — designers have — used for a while but maybe forgotten about. Maybe because of all this new, new, new, we’ve forgotten about some of the tried-and-true colors.” Beyond color, sheen is the biggest factor that can make walls pop. Walker says this year’s story is really based on sheen, more specifically both ends of the spectrum: high gloss and its polar opposite, matte. Each has decidedly different features. Sheen is a factor that gives a color the ability to appear lighter or darker based on how the finish interacts with light. At this moment, paint companies likely have next year’s color well in hand. At Benjamin Moore, they’re keeping their color hush, hush. For now, it’s Metropolitan.

They are so willing to “We were looking for an empty-nester type of hobby,” share their knowledge.” Tim says. “I wanted to find a craft that allowed me Also, at those craft shows, Tim finds opportunities to to create items that would have a lasting effect and pay it forward himself. “A lot of guys will come up and say, give their owners years of enjoyment.

that both Tim and Marigrace refer to as a calming, natural touch. “The live-edge look is really popular right now,” Tim says, “especially when you couple it with metal.” Although harsh weather and genetic makeup can result in trees with blemishes, Tim is intent on fully embracing such natural imperfections. These unique distinctions are anything but flaws and are often what make the wood so desirable, he says. Because of this, Tim strategically selects some pieces with knots or holes. Sometimes, he even uses seemingly disruptive processes such as spalting — a natural, fungus-like effect that results in a harmless, marbled texture — to add a little raw character to the wood’s overall look. Tim estimates that his smaller pieces, like serving trays, take one collective hour to reach their finished stage, while his larger pieces, like tables, can take around six hours total to complete. “Again, it’s just all nature,” he says. “I don’t sit here and draw or do anything by hand. Nature does all of it. I just enhance it.”
SPRUCING UP COLUMBIA Until recently, KingsWood products were primarily available at various craft shows throughout St. Louis, Kansas City and Iowa; however, the Powerses quickly determined that they are most passionate about sharing their products with their Columbia neighbors. For that reason, Marigrace decided last

November that it was time to go out on a limb and take a few pieces over to Plume to gauge interest. “I knew Plume’s owner, Kelly, from being in and out of the store a few times,” Marigrace says. “I just approached her with some of the trays one day, asked her if it was something she would be interested in, and she loved it. While I was in the shop, a couple of people asked, ‘Oh, is that for sale?’ So, I knew then that it was going to be something that people liked.” As far as the future of KingsWood is concerned, Tim is content with the path that his hobby-turned-business is on. “This will always just be a hobby to me,” he says. “I just enjoy the process of getting a piece of wood to its end state and seeing what it’s going to look like. That’s my main driver behind why I do it. So, we’re very content with staying local and having our product in front of people who will appreciate what we do.” KingsWood also provides the Powers family with a bonus opportunity that they have not taken for granted: The chance to give to others. “I love giving our stuff away as much as anything,” Tim says. “That’s really a huge part of my enjoyment in doing this.” “That’s actually how we finally came up with the name, KingsWood,” Marigrace adds. “The wood is a gift to us from the King of the universe. So, that’s how we think of it, too. It’s really just a gift to us.”

PRO KNOWLEDGE GETS YOUR GARDEN OFF TO A GREAT START. BY PEG GILL
B
y the time March arrives, we’re all chomping at the bit for spring and warmer weather — perhaps none of us more so than Columbia’s gardeners. Members of our plant-loving populace are eager to flex their green thumbs, don their gardening gloves and get their gardens going. So, we asked local experts Tanner Jones, Garden Center manager of Helmi’s Gardens, and Steve and Amy Sapp, owners of Strawberry Hill Farms, for 10 spring gardening and planting tips. Don’t worry if you’re not a practiced pro, says Steve Sapp. There’s plenty you can do, even if you’re a small-scale gardener who’s just planting containers. The key is to not get stressed. “Have fun with gardening,” Sapp says. “The best way to learn is to try, and there are so many different options to beautify your space. With every new season, there is an opportunity to try growing something new.”
1
TAKE NOTE OF THE SUN AND SHADE in your planting area. How many hours of sun does it get? What time of day is it sunny or shady in that spot? Plants that require sun need about five to six hours of afternoon sunlight to bloom at their full potential. Plants that require shade can handle some morning sun; too much sunlight will burn the leaves.
66
INSIDE COLUMBIA MARCH 2019
2
THE TYPE OF SOIL IN YOUR FLOWERBED or container is important. It is hard to establish a new plant’s roots in firmly packed Missouri clay. It’s best to amend the existing soil with a potting mix to allow more root growth and drainage. Potting soil can be reused in containers from year to year, but it is best to freshen up the top half of the pot before planting.
3
NOW IS THE TIME TO MULCH, and there is always a warm day in early spring to get this done. Mulch makes a bed look clean and tidy when there is not much else to look at. Always use a good, clean hardwood mulch free from trash, weeds and large chunks.
4
ONCE GROWTH ON TREES, SHRUBS AND PERENNIALS STARTS, go ahead and get a good fertilizer down. Jones prefers Tree & Shrub granular from Ferti-lome. It’s been tried and tested and works every time.
5
PRUNE THE THREE D’S: diseased, damaged and dead. Always prune below the three Ds. Leave forsythias, quince, lilacs and big leaf hydrangeas alone!
6
PUT PREEN DOWN TO STOP GERMINATION of early spring weeds. It will also suppress summer weeds as well. Do not use it on beds that involve direct sowing of plants such as lettuce or cut flowers.
7
WHEN ARRANGING PLANTS IN A CONTAINER, remember the thriller/ filler/spiller rule: a tall centerpiece plant that “wows,” a medium-height plant to fill in and a cascading plant that spills over the edge of the container.
8
VEGETABLE GARDENING IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK. Many vegetables can be grown in pots on the patio. Look for varieties that are “determinate” plant size, like Patio or Husky Cherry Red tomatoes. Eggplant and peppers are other vegetables that can easily be grown in containers. Vegetable plants need five to six hours of afternoon sun.

IF YOU HAVE ORNAMENTAL GRASSES, MOW OFF ANY OLD FOLIAGE all the way to the crown. Sharp hedge trimmers work well for this. Be sure to compost the tops.

THE FROST-FREE DATE in central Missouri is May 10, with the average last frost being April 25. Many people plant before this date, but be prepared to cover plants if cold temps are in the forecast. A sheet or a blanket is a good protector from frost. BONUS — Have perennials you want to divide? Go ahead and divide bareroot, dormant perennials, but remember you need an active growing point for a division to take. Be sure to use a sterile, sharp spade. MARCH 2019 INSIDE COLUMBIA

oyd and Kim French’s home on Old Hawthorne Golf Course is a product of many hands. From Kim French’s vision to designer Anna Luecke’s expertise to builder John Welek’s — and his artisans’ — skill, the contemporary home sits apart from other mid-Missouri homes. It was this trifecta that brought French’s binder of photos and magazine pages to life. “This was our seventh house that we’ve lived in, so by now we knew what we wanted,” French says, “but John and Anna really took what I wanted and built it.” From the beginning, the building process had a progressive feel to it. The simple elevation of the home provided a workable backdrop for the attention to detail executed. The “brain trust,” as Boyd French called their trio, met each Friday to go over design evolutions, costs and next steps. “There’s a lot of things that you can spend money on, but if there’s something that you’re going to want — that you really, really want,” Welek says, “then do it because you’ll appreciate it every day that you did it and then not regret that.” The view of the fourth, fifth and sixth holes of Old Hawthorne Golf Course was a priceless bonus. When the Frenches bought their lot, as they stood at ground level, they knew they would see part of the golf course, but it wasn’t until the second level went up that they could see the scope. “We just couldn’t believe it when they put on this level, which was going to be our main level, and we walked out” French says. “We didn’t realize that we were going to be able to see all the different fairways.” In the home for nearly a year, Kim French couldn’t be more pleased with how it has turned out. “It was so fun to design it yourself and not go from a plan,” she says. “It turned out just as I wanted it to. It’s just our house.”

JUNK TO JOY
COLUMBIA PRO ORGANIZER SHARES TOP TIPS. BY REBECCA FRENCH SMITH
TOP TIPS

START SLOW. Don’t overdo it. Start with a small project and work your way up.
M
arie Kondo’s idea of “let go, spark joy” has swept across the globe. This Japanese organization consultant has authored four books on organizing, and her latest claims to fame include a Netflix series. As homeowners and apartment dwellers alike begin spring cleaning, Kondo’s process can be useful, but it’s not always that simple, says Lauren Crosby, professional organizer and owner of Orderly & Organized in Columbia. She is on the spark-joy bandwagon but stresses timing is the most important factor. “The person has to be ready for it, to organize,” Crosby says. “You can’t force someone to let go of some of their things. You can talk to them, or they can watch Netflix and watch the video, but it really has to be in their timeframe.” Come spring, she says, many tend to focus on garages and basements, but Crosby recommends looking first at how you live in your home. Where you spend the most time is the best place to start if it’s a whole-home issue. For smaller projects such as downsizing a collection of books, she veers away from Kondo’s process. While there is merit in sticking to a category and doing it your-

self, “I have also found that you get piles everywhere,” Crosby says. “Most people will start with books or start with a category, and then they’ll devote an hour or two hours to it, then they get distracted or then they don’t finish the project. Then the books all end up in the bedroom or the living room, and it doesn’t get done. “If you’re doing it yourself, I can see how [Kondo’s] process works,” she says, adding, “You just have to be really diligent and finish it.” Nostalgia or sentiment can also come into play when parting with unused items, and Crosby recognizes the difficulty some things can cause. She encourages practicality. “I enjoy keeping my kids’ things,” she says — items such as a baptism gown or things that have a story. “I tell my clients: Try to keep it to one box. Think of that as something that you can pass down to them.” In any organizational scenario, a person must be ready to let something go. It’s important for someone who has had a bad experience because as that individual moves forward, that experience usually makes him or her want to hold on to more things, Crosby says. “They really have to come to it on their own.”
3
TAKE EVERYTHING OUT. Part of Marie Kondo’s process is to take everything out. Touch everything. Does it spark joy? If the process is getting long, it can be tempting to take a quick glance at what’s left and say, “Ok, I need everything else,” but be diligent. Take everything out.
4
TURN ALL THE HANGERS IN THE CLOSET BACKWARD. Once turned, after you wear an item, hang it correctly on the pole. After six months to a year, anything that’s still hanging backward that you haven’t worn needs to be evaluated. Can you part with it, or is it one of those items you would wear on occasion, such as an evening dress? If the former, move it along; if the latter, hang on to it.
5
PICK UP NIGHTLY. At the end of each night, make sure the dishes are clean and walk through the house. As you go, put things back where they should be — toys go back in the bin, and book bags go by the door for the next day. It sounds tedious, but if you do it nightly, then the next morning there will be less stress. MARCH 2019 INSIDE COLUMBIA

DINING OUT

Park Restaurant and Bar is constructed to reduce ambient noise and give diners a more quiet experience.
Less is More hen eating out, cost is often a determining factor in a restaurant choice. In addition, while there is bang for your buck with larger portions, serving sizes at most restaurants are usually bigger than what we eat at home. The menu at Park Restaurant and Bar includes a variety of options for “small plates,” smaller in both portion size and price, but large enough to be a meal on their own. “The small plates are also good for people who go out to eat and like to sample each other’s food,” says Jack Cardetti, president of Tightline Public Affairs and

INSIDE COLUMBIA MARCH 2019
spokesman for the restaurant. Smaller portion sizes are of particular importance to price-sensitive and healthconscious consumers. “This is one of the things they have asked for repeatedly in many of the studies I’ve done,” says Bonnie Riggs, restaurant industry analyst at The NPD Group (a marketing research company). “They want more choices … in terms of size of the portion.” The menu at Park offers Asian dishes and flavorings along with other influences, which provides a wide range of options and appeals to a gamut of taste buds. The buffalo chicken wrap is popular, as are the Christmas cookies, which are on the des-
sert menu year-round. The restaurant also offers larger plates and rarer, more expensive items for patrons looking for a finedining experience. During my visit, I sampled the Park Pops (drumsticks tossed in house-made Korean BBQ sauce). With drumsticks, some restaurants tend to over-bread and fry them for too long, but that didn’t happen here. The meat was plump, and the sauce was infused nicely into a light breading. I could have requested dipping sauce but opted for the drumstick as is. I washed it down with an iced tea, to which the waiter talked me into adding some fruit flavoring. Good call; the drink was delicious.

Park Restaurant and Bar provides a light touch for diners.
Park’s small plate menu features Korean Beef Nachos, a bed of crispy wonton chips topped with Bulgogi beef, white cheddar, jalapenos, green onions, siracha aioli and avocado cream sauce.
The interior of the restaurant includes a great deal of felt, most of which is cleverly concealed, to absorb sound and provide an environment where customers can have a conversation without having to yell over everyone else in the restaurant. The wait staff takes orders using a mobile device, so they are sent directly to the kitchen as soon as they are entered. Apparently, there have been instances where one or two salads get delivered while others at that table are still ordering. At the end of our meal, a mobile device was brought to the table and left there for me to pay my bill when I was ready. “One of my big pet peeves,” Cardetti says, “is when you’re ready to leave and you have to flag down the wait staff, then wait to get your bill, then wait for them to come back to take your card, and then wait again for them to return with it. This takes out all of that.” With everything custom-made — even the building itself — ingredients locally acquired and menu items specially selected with room for improvisation, Park provides a unique addition to the Columbia dining scene.
You don’t choose to get sick. Or to get injured and have surgery, but when you need to recover afterward, and you can’t go home immediately, you can choose

COOKING WITH BROOK

A Perfect Chicken Dish Coq au vin warms the soul on chilly days.
C
oq au vin can be eaten any time of year, but it seems more appropriate on rainy and chilly days in the late winter and early spring. There are many different ways to prepare this dish; I only scratch the surface here. I can tell you one thing — well, two — it is not too difficult to make and delicious to eat. Always make more than you think you will need; it makes great leftovers.
CHICKEN Preferably, you have a farm with a mean old rooster. If a rooster is cooked like a normal chicken, it would be too tough to eat. When marinated in red wine and cooked slowly for hours it would be extremely tender and fall off the bone. Don’t worry, you can use a normal chicken from the grocery store or farmers’ market.
L.G. PATTERSON
WINE The traditional wine in the recipe is a red Burgundy, but another full-bodied red such as cabernet, merlot, syrah or zinfandel will also work. Some recipes will also have you marinate the pieces of chicken in wine and aromatics overnight. This will help with the flavor and the tenderization but will take extra planning and is not mandatory.
AROMATICS AND VEGETABLES The wine will add some strong aromatics. Brandy is sometimes used to deglaze. Onions, mushrooms, garlic, thyme and bay leaves are also great additions. Most recipes will have you sauté the vegetables after searing the chicken, then leave the vegetables in the braise the entire time the chicken cooks. While this can sometimes add some great flavor to the chicken, the texture of the vegetables is destroyed. I prefer to cook the vegetables most of the way, then reserve them until the chicken is fully cooked and sauce is reduced. Adding the vegetables then will let the flavors meld and leave some texture in the vegetables.
BRAISE Sear, deglaze and cover the meat with liquid, then cook at a low temperature until fork-tender. That is about the simplest way to describe a braise. The method can be applied to just about any cheap or tough cut of meat. There are plenty of other techniques and nuances to perfect the desired outcome of a braise, but if you follow the basics you should have good results.
SAUCE You have a wonderfully flavorful liquid that the meat has been cooking in. Depending on how you are cooking your braise (on
the range or in the oven), you can start reducing the liquid into a sauce once the chicken is starting to become tender. Once the chicken starts to have a little more give in the toughness, remove the lid if you are cooking on the range, or remove the lid partially if you are cooking in the oven. This allows you to start evaporating the liquid to become a sauce. It will intensify the flavor as well as thicken if you have used a fresh stock with a good gelatin content. If you are using a canned or boxed stock, it will not thicken when reduced. You can use a Beurre Manié to help thicken the sauce. Once the liquid has reached your desired level of concentration with either scenario, it is ready to thicken. Beurre Manié is made by mixing equal parts room temperature butter and flour into a paste. You can whisk about a half cup to a cup of the mixture per quart of liquid to thicken into a sauce. Since the liquid is already somewhat reduced, you should need a half cup or less. Add a small amount at a time; you can always add more. Don’t get carried away and make the liquid into spackle.

Browning the outside of a piece of meat to develop color and flavor, leaving the inside raw to cook with another method. This will result in a flavorful crust created in the bottom of the pan called “fond.�
DEGLAZE
Using water, wine, stock or liquor to release the fond created at the bottom of the pan into the liquid to flavor the dish. Cook at a low temperature; the ideal temperature of the liquid covering the meat is in the 180- to 190-degree Fahrenheit range (your oven should be closer to 225 to 250). If the liquid is boiling, this will make the meat tender but dry and stringy. The length of time to cook to make the meat tender will depend on the type and size of the meat. A cut-up chicken might take 1 to 2 hours; a large pot roast might be closer to 5 or 6 hours.

FORK-TENDER
While most types of meat are considered cooked at 145 degrees and chicken is considered cooked 165, there will be no need for a thermometer during a braise. The meat will be well past the needed internal temperature to be safe to consume. It will be tough at first, then start to break down and become tender. The tenderness can be checked with a fork; it should easily penetrate and even cut the meat once it is done.

½ pound thick bacon, cut crossways into ½-inch strips 4 legs 4 thighs Salt and pepper as needed 1 large onion, large diced 1 pound mushrooms, quartered 3 ounces brandy 1 750 ml bottle red wine (cabernet, merlot or other dry red wine) 1 quart chicken stock brown 6 to 8 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped 4 or 5 thyme sprigs 2 bay leaves 4 tablespoons butter Cut bacon into lardons (¼-inch to ½-inch cross cuts of the slices); render bacon in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and reserve; leave the fat. Season the chicken heavily with salt and pepper and start searing skin-side down over medium heat, turning occasionally until all sides are crisp and golden brown. Remove chicken and reserve. Add onions and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until edges start to brown and they have started to become tender. Remove vegetables and reserve. Turn off the heat and add brandy to the pan. Scrape the fond on the bottom of the pan with a spoon to release and flambé, if desired (turn on heat to medi-
um and tilt slightly over a gas stove or ignite with a long lighter from a distance). Add red wine and simmer over medium heat until volume reduced by half. Add stock, garlic, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and chicken, and cover with a lid or foil. RANGE Cook over low heat, turning the pieces every 15 to 20 minutes for 1.5 to 2 hours. Remove lid about ¾ of the way through once the meat starts to become tender to help reduce sauce. Turn more frequently once the sauce starts to thicken. OVEN Cover pan with lid or foil and cook at 250 degrees, turning the pieces every 15 to 20 minutes for 1.5 to 2 hours. Partially remove lid or foil about ¾ of the way through once the meat starts to become tender to help reduce sauce. Turn more frequently once the sauce starts to thicken. Once the sauce has reduced to your desired flavor or consistency, add in vegetables and season with salt and pepper to your desired taste (tasting the sauce, vegetables and a small piece of the underside of the chicken). If desired, turn off heat and whisk in a small amount of Beurre Manié at a time, turning the meat in the sauce until desired thickness is reached. Swirl in the butter to finish the sauce. Serve chicken atop polenta, grits, mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, risotto or other starch of your choice. Add the braised vegetables to the side, lightly coat the chicken with the sauce and enjoy.

As a photographer, I have access to some unique points of view in the community. Here is one of them, in A New View. Assignment: Cooking with Brook
The Location: Brook Harlan’s Kitchen
I
t’s entertaining to watch Brook Harlan cook while I photograph his feature every month. He throws an unpredictable element into his dishes that makes me want to run home and try out a new technique. I usually wait a few days because I get to eat whatever he cooks and always leave well fed. This month was no different. Things caught fire when he went to deglaze his pan for his coq au vin feature. While the flames were flying all over the place, I got in close to the pan to see what happens under the flame. Seeing the brandy bubble as it burns was a bit surprising. A chef creates a bit of excitement when flames light up a kitchen, and Brook’s chicken didn’t disappoint. It was as tasty as it was fun to witness.

THE FINAL WORD
by FRED PARRY
VIE WPOIN TS
Reluctant Renovations First impressions are lasting impressions ... unfortunately!
T
his summer will mark the 25th anniversary for my wife and me publishing magazines in Columbia. Along the way, Melody and I have taken great pride in capturing the best parts of our city and creating a permanent record of the many things about Columbia that are worth celebrating. Thanks to a great photographer and a slew of talented writers and designers, we’ve been able to showcase our city in a light that illustrates our worthiness as one of the best places to live in America. Unfortunately, I believe our city has a significant blind spot that is often ignored by the movers and shakers in our community. Depending on your vantage point, Columbia can be a very ugly city. Most of us have become accustomed to the way things look around Columbia. Given all the quality of life amenities that have been built into our local infrastructure, we’ve not paid much attention to the aesthetics or the need for beautification. However, if you’re someone who is responsible for recruiting professionals to Columbia, you’ve undoubtedly schooled yourself on the best routes to take when bringing visitors in and out of Columbia. Take, for example, the view of Columbia from Interstate 70, our city’s most heavily traveled thoroughfare. On a typical day, driving I-70 affords you some rather unimpressive views, including an abandoned trailer park, the back of the city’s power plant, the backside of some dilapidated warehouses, a handful of car dealerships and a string of chain restaurants that can be found in almost any city in America. What you don’t see is any sign of Columbia’s charm, culture or
106
INSIDE COLUMBIA MARCH 2019
any indication of what a truly thriving and dynamic community it is. While there has been considerable progress made in recent years by The Loop Community Improvement District, there’s not yet a good reason to drive someone down Business Loop 70. From start to finish, visitors are exposed to a plethora of used car dealerships, tattoo parlors, a strip club, fast food restaurants and buildings that seem to be well past their prime. The same can be said for Providence Road, our second busiest thoroughfare. That street, which takes you from I-70 to the heart of our business district, leads you through public housing projects, payday loan shops and liquor stores. Based on the windshield view of our city from almost any angle, it’s a miracle that visitors feel compelled to get out of their cars. We can do better. You really don’t have to travel far to find inspiration. If you’ve ever traveled from Columbia to St. Louis via Highway 40/Interstate 64 through the Chesterfield bottoms, you begin to get a feel for the possibilities in terms of what communities can do to put their best foot forward. The beautifully landscaped overpasses at O’Fallon and Chesterfield make a major statement about those two communities. First, you get a very clear message regarding that community’s level of civic pride. Second, you get a message that maybe there’s a reason to exit the highway and check things out. It’s clear to me that Columbia has more to offer than both communities, but you’d never know from its curbside appearance. The same can be said about our city’s airport. Granted, there are hopes for a new terminal building in coming years;
however, one must wonder why we’ve done so few improvements in the last 30 years. It’s one thing to land in what many would consider the middle of a soybean field, but to walk into the terminal that features architecture and décor that dates back to the 1970s is an embarrassment. One local business owner, who recently won a multimillion-dollar contract from a client on the East Coast, told me that he spent the first 30 minutes during a recent client visit apologizing for the state of our airport. Again, we can do better. One of my biggest disappointments over the last 25 years has been what seems like our city’s overwhelming reluctance to embrace big ideas — the kind of ideas that can dramatically change a community for the better. Whether we’re talking about a new airport, a downtown conference center or something as simple as beautification, there’s not much of an appetite for bold ventures. We pride ourselves on being a progressive and dynamic community, but sometimes our thought patterns don’t always reflect that spirit. In the end, I hope there will be a recognition among civic leaders that Columbia can indeed be better. Let us pray that one of these leaders will soon take the lead on flaunting a bit of our civic pride out on Interstate 70.
