The Steward School’s West End campus building, the Bryan Innovation Lab, is up and

running, giving teachers a cutting-edge way to educate their students in grades

Pre-K to 12. The 6,200-square-foot building features indoor and outdoor kitchens, a

wellness studio, two innovation labs, an outdoor classroom, gardens and an imagi-

nation playground.

The space incorporates many green-building principles, such as photovoltaic solar panels,

underground rainwater cisterns, radiant flooring and geothermal wells, but its primary pur-

pose is to reinvent the way students connect with their environment.

Ken Seward, headmaster of The Steward School, says, “At Steward, we want to acknowl-

edge every child’s special gifts and talents, and we think this building is going to help stu-

dents discover what those unique gifts and talents might be.”

Classroom teachers will bring their students to the building to implement new project-

based lesson plans in the form of questions that touch on one of three target areas – energy

and resources, health and wellness and the natural and built environment.

For example, a fourth-grade class might learn about Jamestown and its early settlers by

growing a colonial garden and testing the various natural fertilizers that would have been

used. For contrast, students might examine present-day chemical fertilizers and their impact

on agriculture. What has our society gained? What have we lost?

Even the building is designed to be a teaching tool. Water, electric, gas and sewer lines

are left exposed and color-coded, so students can see exactly how various components come

together. An energy-monitoring system tracks consumption, so students can experiment with

how their choices directly affect their environment.

To learn more about the Bryan Innovation Lab, please contact Cary Jamieson at cary.jamie-

SEE RICHMOND LIKE A TOURIST

In an exciting area like Richmond, where tourists never have

problems filling their itineraries, why is it so hard for local resi-

dents to find something to do? It could be that they’ve never

seen our gorgeous, historic River City through the eyes of a visi-

tor. Let’s check out some of the best ways to explore the area.BY TASTE

Brewery ToursThe craft beer community in the River City has grown by leaps and

bounds in the last decade. Currently, there are over 40 independent

breweries in Virginia, many of them in the Greater Richmond area.

“Taking a brewery tour is as local as it gets,’’ says Andrew LaBonte, of

Local Suds. “You’re rubbing shoulders with other Richmonders, hear-

ing stories straight from local brewery owners and neighbors.” That’s

something you just don’t get at national chains.

Food ToursEven if you’re new here, there’s no way to miss the fact that Rich-

mond’s culinary scene is out of this world and definitely deserves

exploration. That’s where food-focused tours come in. “We walk on

most of our tours, and when walking, you see a lot that you’d nor-

mally miss,” says Maureen Egan, with Real Richmond tours. “Besides

letting you taste the food and introducing you to the restaurants and

chefs, we’re big on giving people lots of reasons to come back to the

restaurants and neighborhoods we focus on.” Eagan adds that her

company emails everyone a list of at least a dozen things to do, even

beyond the restaurants.”

down the James. For those who are looking for a less adventurous

view of Richmond from the river, local companies also offer kayaking,

paddleboarding, tubing and canoeing trips. n

BY FOOT

Walking ToursArguably the most time-tested way to get acquainted with a city is to

walk its streets. For those who prefer a peripatetic introduction to the

River City’s past and present, check out the wide selection of walking

tours available for tourists and natives, alike. African American tours

help the curious Richmonder become immersed in slavery’s impact

and its repercussions on the South and the United States, while Hol-

lywood Cemetery, Canal Walks, and other feet-on-the-ground tours

give Richmonders a closer view of the city they love.

Museum ToursIf you prefer the great indoors, look no further than Richmond’s

varied and numerous museums. For those seeking a less stereotypi-

cal museum experience, consider a visit to one of Richmond’s many

residences-turned-museums, like Maymont House, Agecroft Hall and

Virginia House. “The people who lived in these large houses that be-

came museums are, in many cases, the people who built Richmond

or, as with Wilton, ran the colony that helped build the nation,” says

William Strollo of the Wilton House Museum in the West End. “Visiting

is a great way to see inside the lives of these significant people and a

great way to see all that Richmond offered and has to offer”.

BY WATER

Canal CruiseThe majority of the country’s most prominent cities grew up around

rivers. Since our River City is no different, why not experience RVA

from the water with a canal cruise? From April to November, hop on a

canal boat to connect with a piece of historic Richmond and get what

Venture Richmond’s Alexander Dahm calls a “full narration that runs

the gamut of the city’s history, from Christopher Newport to present

day.” Afterwards, guides hope that tour-takers will be inspired to learn

even more about the city, especially historic downtown.

RaftingIf you prefer a little adrenaline rush with your sightseeing, consider a

heart-pounding rafting trip down the James River. “Richmond is the

only city that has class IV and V rapids within city limits, and they go

right through the heart of the city,” says Travis Bayes with River City

Rafting, a local company that leads guided rafting and tubing tours

“When we found this place for free on

craigslist, we immediately knew we

wanted to turn this defunct coffee

shop into a Fan-esque restaurant.” says Bell

Café owner Tiffany Ingram. “We’re commit-

ted to delivering high quality food quickly.” At

the beginning of July, the restaurant, located

at 8319 Bell Creek Road in Mechanicsville, is

closing for a week to complete kitchen reno-

vations. When Bell Café reopens, it will feature

a new menu. “It’ll be a fun twist on American

sandwich shop favorites for lunch and fresh

seafood, steak and Mediterranean-inspired

dinner dishes. We’ll also have our liquor li-

cense.” says Tiffany. “We’ve hired the former

bar manager from Acacia to stock our bar

with what’s new, hip and delicious!” Find out

Strangeways Brewing is a new establishment that lives up to

its mysterious moniker. “We’re a production brewery with a tasting

room.” says owner Neil Burton. “Our space is very unique and differ-

ent.” Strangeways features multiple tasting areas, as well as outdoor

seating for patrons to sample craft beers by the glass or fill growl-

ers to go. “We have been a bit mysterious about any new beers be-

fore their release, all in the name of fun,’’ adds Burton. “We will have

four year-round beers, seasonal beers and some unusual selections

as well.” Strangeways Brewing, at 2277A Dabney Road in Richmond,

encourages patrons to order in or bring food from local restaurants to

enjoy while tasting. “We may do a food cart or food truck in the future,

but right now we like Strangeways just the way it is.” Find out more at

visiT OuR weBsiTe FOR sPecials and discOunTs

In 2010, three motorcycle enthusiasts convened to discuss the

traits of a truly remarkable motorcycle shop. After extensive re-

search and factoring in personal preferences, the future owners

of Mild 2 Wild Cycles decided a distinctive bike shop would focus on

honesty, integrity and superior customer service. Attractive to motor-

cycle aficionados, the ultimate shop would also recognize and foster

future motorcycle owners and riders. It should incorporate, not only

sales and service, but customization and be committed to community

involvement.

Two years later, in 2012, Mild 2 Wild Cycles debuted in Ashland, Va,

and has quickly become a premier Harley Davidson repair and cus-

tomization shop.

“We’re dedicated to being a one-of-a-kind dealership and shop,”

says Brian Fedder, one of the owners. “We’re not a huge franchise. We

are a family-owned and operated business with one-to-one personal

service.”

“Whether a customer is inquiring about a bike, needing customiza-

tion work or seeking repair service. We give our customers the highest

quality parts and service while keeping our prices very reasonable.”

Specializing in Harley Davidson service, repairs and hard-to-find

parts, Mild 2 Wild also services and customizes metric bikes.

“We’re very community based,” says Fedder. "Twice a month we

have Bike Nights and encourage people to bring out their motorcycles

and show them off. We’re all about the enthusiast, as well as the simply

curious and encourage everyone to come out and have fun.”

Mild 2 Wild Cycles was built on honesty, integrity and superior

customer service. They have a great selection of bikes and accessories

with over 1,600 vendors. Whether you’re just curious, a bike beginner

or a seasoned motorcycle pro, Mild 2 Wild has something for everyone!

A Short Stop InRichmond

Max Heyworth: So, the first question

on everyone’s mind is: How do you like

Richmond?

Joe Panik: Richmond’s a great city. I’m

living downtown in a really nice area by the

river. The weather is nice here, compared

to a lot of places I’ve been, especially the

Northeast. Great fans, too…gotta say that.

They’ve been wonderful here.

MH: You’re a pro ballplayer in the San

Francisco Giants organization – a team

with two World Series titles in the last five

years. What’s that like for you?

JP: It’s pretty cool, just knowing you’re in

an organization that cares about winning.

You see guys on that team that have gone

through that minor-league system, not just

guys that they trade for...

MH: Buster Posey, Matt Cain...

JP: ...yeah, exactly, Crawford, Belt, guys

who’ve worked their way through the

system. So, you know they give those guys a

chance, and it’s pretty cool to see them have

success that way.

MH: Describe the experience of going

first round in the Major League Baseball

draft.

JP: That day was pretty surreal, just hearing

your name being called. There are a lot of

nerves leading up to it because you never

know who’s going to take you, or where you

are going. But hearing your name called by

Bud Selig on TV is something you’re always

going to remember.

MH: They’re saying 2014 will likely be

the year you get called up to the majors,

maybe even this year. If and when that

happens, who are the first three people

you will call?

JP: The first call I make will be to my parents,

then my brother, who’s out in Indianapolis.

Third one? The third one’s up in the air right

now [laughs], but definitely my mom and

dad with number one. They’ve been my

biggest supporters from the beginning.

MH: What was your best baseball

experience?

JP: Besides being drafted, my best moment

was winning the Big East Championship

in 2010. Just the feeling of dog-piling and

winning, as a collective group, with the guys

you’ve spent every day in college with – day

in and day out. To be able to celebrate with

them was definitely the coolest experience

I’ve had.

Flying Squirrels shortstop Joe Panik is considered by some to be the best offensive prospect in the

San Francisco Giants organization. With his knack for contact

hitting and grinding through at- bats, it’s not outside the realm of

possibility that he’ll be sitting somewhere near the top of a major league

lineup before year’s end. So, it’s safe to say, that his stay in Richmond, as

thrilling as it is, will be temporary. But, before leaving the River City, Joe

was kind enough to take a few minutes on a cold Sunday morning to share

some of his experiences with America’s pastime.

By Max Heyworth

MH: How would you say the level of

difficulty escalates from college to the

minors to spring training with the major

league club?

JP: Definitely, as you move up, the pitchers

get better, and the velocity...everyone can

throw the ball well. They’re consistent, there

aren’t too many mistakes. And, not only the

pitchers, but the defenders are much better.

They cover more ground in the outfield and

the infielders have more range. So, it’s hard

to get those balls to fall in. You’ve got to

work harder to get hits.

MH: Does anyone else in your family

play?

JP: I have an older brother, who played

baseball at Canisius College in Buffalo. He

coaches at Butler University right now.

MH: Baseball is notorious for its

nicknaming culture. What have you

gotten so far, with a name like “Panik?”

JP: My favorite one is “Panik Attack.” I got

that one from the local newspaper back

in high school. My brother and I played a

couple of years together, and once, we hit

back-to-back home runs that were the go-

ahead runs in the game. The headline said,

“Panik Attack,” so it stuck. n

Floor PlansW h a t ' s U n d e r f o o t ?

Thinking about building, renovating, or creating a new look

for your interior? That process frequently involves select-

ing and installing new flooring. The material underfoot is one

of the most important design choices, both functionally and

aesthetically. Flooring is a dominant visual element in any

space, and on a purely practical level, its maintenance im-

pacts life on a daily basis. Because it's a relatively-permanent

and style-setting element, I frequently choose flooring mate-

rial early in the design process and select other materials to

complement and coordinate with each other and the floor.

(Above) Wood floors add classic beauty

to practically any space. Beautiful wood

tones and intricate patterns may be

incorporated as feature design elements.

C hoices include wood, laminate, tile, stone, composite

stone, vinyl, carpet, and many exciting design alternatives,

both new and not so new. The development of “green”

products is receiving due attention, and selections are expanding

continuously. They include bamboo–cork, rubber, linoleum, and, sur-

prisingly, leather.

Types of hard-surface flooring are plentiful, and there are surpris-

ing new faces with old names. Luxury vinyls, for instance, are available

in stunning choices that have no visual relationship with their past-life

cousins. Porcelain tile is available in new, overscale sizes and updated

shapes, many mimicking the look of other materials such as wood or

natural stone.

Before that dingy floor comes up, the evaluation process should

include careful assessment of the space and installation conditions.

Study up on material choices that blend with your lifestyle and per-

sonal preferences. Durable, eco-friendly, or hypoallergenic character-

istics, can be selection criteria. Research

and professional advice are of great value and may prevent costly mis-

takes, especially in renovation projects. The most important criteria in

choosing flooring materials are:

Application consider where the material will be installed.

Foot traffic and circulation in the space observe carefully.

Maintenance considerations be realistic.

Subfloor, preparation, and installation requirements don’t skimp

here.

Wood Floors Wood floors are available in many different species, but basically

fall into two classes: unfinished and prefinished. Unfinished wood is

installed, sanded in place, stained if desired, and finished with two

to three coats of clear finish. New water-based finishes are superior

to polyurethane in hardness, are nearly odorless, and do not discolor

over time. There are various choices in types of finish–from satin (less

gloss) to high gloss. High gloss tends to show more wear and scratch-

ing and is not the best choice for high-traffic areas or homes with small

children or pets. It takes a few days to install and finish this type of

floor, so be patient and schedule the extra time required.

Prefinished-wood flooring does offer a few advantages over un-

finished. It’s a walk-away installation. When the floor goes down, it’s

finished, except for trim. The surface is factory finished and is generally

superior to field- applied finishes. There is a downside, as there can be

some edges of planks that are slightly unlevel. This is usually not too

noticeable, but it can be an issue depending on the subfloor condi-

tion. There are options of different edge details of prefinished floor, so

be sure you know which one you are getting.

Tile and StoneNatural stone—marble, granite, limestone, travertine, and slate—

is always a beautiful choice in flooring. The durability of a particular

stone is due in large part to its inherent hardness. Stain resistance is

also a critical selection factor. Be sure to research the specific charac-

teristics of the stone you are considering. Variations in manufacturing

and the source of stone greatly affect material cost and account for the

huge spread in pricing for the exact same product. Stone can have a

polished, shiny surface, an unpolished, textured finish, or a semi-pol-

ished, honed texture with an almost dimensional appearance.

Styles of ceramic, clay body, and porcelain tile have changed dra-

matically over the past few years. There are countless options from tra-

ditional looks to rich, textured porcelains, gleaming iridescents, mosa-

ics, glass tiles and metallics. Border-tile patterns and medallion motifs

offer endless design possibilities and produce an elegant, classic, or

contemporary aesthetic, depending on the particular layout. For a

more budget-conscious design solution, man-made tiles can some-

times produce installations that mimic natural stone.

Carpet and RugsThere are two major types of carpet: cut pile and level loop. These

come in two basic types of construction: tufted and woven. Berber

carpets, popular for family rooms and high-use areas, are an example

of loop construction. Residential carpet of any surface texture is most

likely a tufted construction. Many other characteristics affect the ap-

pearance and performance of carpet, including density, face weight,

fiber content, pad or underlayment, and, of course—color. Major de-

sign trends in carpet styles include:

Frieze twisted-cut pile, sometimes with soil-hiding color flecks.

Cut and loop combination pile rich texture, sometimes with an al-

most 3-D look; frequently seen in geometric or botanical patterns.

Sculpted pile many patterns and textures available.

Printed carpet various designs are over-printed onto the carpet fibers.

Carpet tiles squares of carpet, sometimes installed in colorful patterns.

Residential carpets have a rating between one and five, represent-

ing the carpet’s ability to withstand wear. When choosing carpet, con-

sider the use of the space, foot traffic that can create wear patterns,

the construction, and color. Light colors could be used in bedrooms,

for instance, but might not be an appropriate choice for an active

area. Know how your carpet will be installed and where the seams

will be located. Hard surface flooring can be installed adjacent to car-

pet at doorways and in heavy circulation paths to improve carpet life

and appearance retention.

Area and oriental rugs make some of the prettiest and most im-

pressive design statements for traditional and contemporary interi-

ors. Their construction is similar to carpet—tufted or woven—and

they can be made by machine or by hand. Natural materials, such as

wool and silk, offer an exquisite hand or feel and are unmistakable in

their beauty and luxury. For more casual spaces, synthetic materials

can be stylish, durable, and budget-friendly options.

Keep it SimpleFlooring selections throughout your home should blend grace-

fully and functionally, one material to the next. Keep the palette sim-

ple, and be sure to install the proper threshold when transitioning

between surfaces. Sound deadening can be a consideration for hard

surfaces, especially when they are installed upstairs. Always finish

closets with the same material as the adjacent area.

Critical to the success of any new flooring are preparation and

installation procedures. Always check the manufacturers’ recom-

mendations and subfloor requirements, and use only specified ma-

terials, fasteners, adhesives, and post-installation maintenance. Most

warranties are null and void if the product is installed or maintained

contrary to the manufacturers’ specifications. Choose wisely to in-

sure enjoyment for many years to come n.

Gum disease, or periodontitis, is dan-

gerous because many people have

it and are not even aware of it.

As it begins, tartar builds up underneath

the gums, creating inflammation and infec-

tion. Over time, this deteriorates the bone

that provides the foundation for the teeth.

While brushing and flossing are good ways to

prevent gum disease, once bone loss starts,

pockets form under the gums that can only

be cleaned by a professional hygienist.

Gum disease can only be diagnosed by

a dentist, but there are some warning signs

that you can look out for. Gum disease often

causes bad breath. Affected gums appear

red and puffy. As the disease worsens, gums

recede around the teeth and they eventu-

ally become loose. In severe cases, painful

abscesses can form.

Some people are more susceptible to

gum disease that others. If your parents or

grandparents lost their teeth early, you may

be at higher risk. Other risk factors include

smoking and having uncontrolled diabetes.

See your dentist regularly to maintain a

healthy mouth and catch gum disease before

it becomes a problem. n
