Greetings!
What could be more relaxing than
inner tubing on a clear Missouri stream?
After a month of long work days and an allnighter, it was heavenly. It was the first float
for Dog E. Dane and Baxter Boy, and while
they seemed to enjoy it, they mostly just
want to go along for the ride, wherever I
happen to be going.
More than ever, I’m aware that life is
about balance. Long stretches of working
hard breeds a strong desire in me to get
out of town for a relaxing few days in the
country. After a couple of days, though, I’m
ready to get back to work. I love my job
and I can’t imagine doing anything else. It’s
focused work that makes my relaxing getaways so enjoyable.
And speaking of getaways, October is
a fabulous time to hit the road for a visit to
a small town to enjoy a harvest festival. In
Hermann, Mo., for example, the town is celebrating fall with its Oktober Fest every
weekend this month. You might want to
consider taking Amtrak from the Kirkwood
or Downtown station. You’ll be grateful for
the train ride after a long day of celebrating.
When my son was about four, we
took our first Amtrak ride together. Hermann was the perfect destination for a
short trip. The highlight of it, for both of us,
was literally running through train cars for
the duration of the trip there and back. My
son was quite sociable, stopping to talk to
people, including the conductor. He’d introduce himself using his first, middle and
last name. When we arrived back at the
Kirkwood station, over the loud speaker
the conductor said, “Everyone say goodbye
to Samuel James Rein.” Only now does it
occur to me that the conductor may have
been relieved when we exited the train.
We created quite a bit of excitement as we
ran through the cars, but everyone seemed
to enjoy our energy.
For families wanting to provide a private education for their children, October is
the time to start the process for the next
school year. When I began the process, it
Coffee Break
with the
Chief Barista
was at the end of January — I had no idea
that the application process in St. Louis begins in October and November for most
schools. It was quite a scramble to meet the
February deadlines. On page 12 is a list of
many of the St. Louis private schools and information about how to get the application
process started. If you feel that a private education is out of reach in terms of your finances, don’t let that stop you. Most private
schools have scholarships available.
Kids know Halloween as a scary time
of ghosts, goblins, devils and demons. It’s
certainly a fun time for them. While I’m beyond creating costumes for my son, I still
enjoy the kids in costume that parade up
and down my street. But as I contemplate
what’s really happening on Halloween, it
seems to be more about community than
anything else. Many families in my neighborhood are sort of in on it together, taking the kids around in groups of families,
and sort of “partying” together afterward.
It’s good to know our neighbors, and Halloween seems to be a great way to spend
time with them.
As always, I love hearing from our
readers. If you have a comment to share or
perhaps a suggestion, shoot me an email at
Marian@JavaJournalNow.com. And thank
you for reading Java Journal.

Teetering
Into Balance
n today’s world, people seem overly busy,
Itimeeasily
distracted and often feel as though
is closing in on them. I hear people say
things like, “When I finish this project, I’ll have
time to spend with my family.” Or “As soon as
I get past the next few months, everything will
slow down to a more even pace.” But when
the project is finished, another takes its place;
and at the end of those busy months there are
more busy months. It seems to me that buried
beneath all of this is a natural desire for balance; a desire to live with a steady and rhythmic feeling of peace and poise as we navigate
the chores, challenges and changes of life.
Have you noticed that as you
focus upon one area of life, another
part of your life lets you know that it,
too, needs your attention? You may
often feel like a tight-rope walker who
is trying to find the center of balance
on the high-wire with no net underneath. High-wire performers teeters
from side to side, making slow and tedious progress until they find their
point of balance. Then they speed up
and walk right across the wire with
confidence and graceful ease. The
same is true of our lives. We teeter
this way and that, then forward and backward,
looking for our point of balance and the powerful assurance and efficiency it brings with it.
Have you ever had the opportunity to
take a long train ride? I often traveled by train
from St. Louis to Chicago for business meetings. I would sit staring out the window at the
cars going by on a nearby highway, fields of
crops growing in the summer or snow-covered hills in the winter, wildflowers blowing in
the wind, cattle grazing, quaint small towns
and on and on.
But where was my mind focused? It was
on the upcoming meeting, wanting my presentation to be a raging success, or thinking
about taking a walk along Lake Michigan, or
shopping on the Magnificent Mile. Then I
would get up and walk up and down the isle,
getting impatient about arriving at my destination. I failed to drink in the beauty out the
window or marvel at the world in which we
live. I missed all that, focusing my mind only
upon my destination.
Most of us live life as though we’re on a
train with a destination in mind. “When I get
through college, I’ll land the job that will get
me that new BMW!” “When I retire, I’ll have
time to enjoy life.” “After I finish this … when I
get done with that … some day I’ll …” Sooner
or later we must realize that there is no final
destination—no one place to arrive once and
for all. The true joy in life is the journey. Yes,
we can have a goal or destination in mind, but
we must stop pushing our good away from us
in the present moment.
It isn’t the things we have to do in the moment that drive us crazy. It’s teetering out of
balance between regrets about the past and
fear of tomorrow, wobbling between what we
think is missing and that which we believe to
be out of reach— teetering between “I don’t
know what I want” and “I can’t make up my
mind!” All of these thoughts and feelings rob
us of this moment— the balance point.
Here’s the kicker. When we get too far
out of balance, we might fall off the wire or
get hit in the head with the cosmic two-by-four.
We tend to attract some kind of wake-up call
that starts us teetering into balance. You know
what I’m talking about. When you work too
many long hours or get too little sleep, the
wake-up call usually comes from your body. It
Organizations are no
different than our
biological systems.

lets you know that it’s in DIS-ease. When you
focus too much on your career, you might
overlook the needs at home and the wake-up
call comes from your spouse or perhaps your
children.
Sometimes you can get so focused on a
project that you forget to consider the people
around you and the wake-up call comes when
someone complains to the boss about your attitude. Organizations are no different than our
biological systems. When they get too far out
of balance, they become dysfunctional.
Where does the balancing act begin? It’s
an inside job. When we ignore our inner balance, we become victims of the outer world
and before we know it we have given our
power away to outside forces. Balance begins
when we’re awake and aware in the present
moment, noticing everything from a place of
gratitude. It begins by accepting ourselves as
we are and accepting what is. When we respect all of it, we tend to notice all of it. When
we notice all of it, we handle all of it with
greater ease.
Find your point of balance. Don’t forget
to laugh and play, enjoy the work that you do,
reach out to help somebody else to teeter into
balance, and learn to be comfortable with silence. Rest, work, play, serve, learn, teach, give
and receive—a little bit of this, a little bit of
that. Then, notice how you speed up and walk
the high-wire of life with confident ease. What
a wonderful journey!

Hypnotherapy is a natural, yet altered state of mind that all people
have experienced but perhaps not realized. Anyone who desires to
be hypnotized can be hypnotized. Most concerns are about a fear of
loss of control, mostly due to stage hypnosis demonstrations. The
fact is that you are ,always in control during hypnosis and hypnosis
actually teaches us to have more control of our minds.
Hypnotherapy is safe, effective, proven.

Few things in our modern life have
the negative impact that stress does on
our body. Yet stress has become more
ubiquitous in today’s society than ever before in human history. And while this has
profound impacts on our health and physiology as a whole, it can virtually stop fat
loss in its tracks.
Stress will sabotage anyone’s ability
to lose fat. There are a number of reasons for this, but the major one has to do
with adrenal glands releasing an abnormal
amount of cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone
that is secreted by the adrenal glands,
whose primary action on the body is to
increase blood sugar levels during times
of stress.
While this is a normal physiological
process that was important for the survival of our ancestors, in today’s world of
chronic and ongoing stress, we often have
an over-production of cortisol, which has
numerous damaging effects on the body.
In fact, there is almost no single response
that can cause as much damage to our
body—and our ability to lose fat—than a
chronic stress response and elevated cortisol levels.
What does prolonged high cortisol
do in the body? It will elevate blood sugar
(leading to insulin resistance and pre-diabetes), cause thyroid hormone imbalances (lowering your metabolism), cause
inflammatory responses and has a negative impact on the immune system, all of
which hamper fat loss.
It doesn’t just stop there—it will increase gastrointestinal dysbiosis (good-tobad ratio of bacteria) and leaky gut. It will
decrease your liver’s ability to detoxify
substances, including hormones, leaving
them to circulate in your body longer.
And last but not least, it will decrease your body’s ability to use leptin—
this is your body’s natural indicator that
you are full or that you are hungry. So
don’t over-stress when you are trying to
lose weight because you could be hindering your progress. Remember, slow
and steady is key.
For some people, chronic stress has
taken its toll on the adrenal glands and
they no longer function optimally. In this
case, adrenal function can be evaluated
through saliva tests and supported by
supplementation.

Does someone you know struggle with
spelling, writing or pronouncing words?
It could be dyslexia.
by Marla Shyken
Students who struggle with
spelling, reading, writing or pronouncing words are often teased, bullied and
belittled. It can be emotionally painful,
causing them to feel embarrassed and
isolated. But there may be a solution to
the problem. It could be a disorder
called dyslexia, and the great news is
that the issues caused by dyslexia are
both preventable and fixable!
Dyslexia is an inherited disorder
that impacts directionality, the ability to
memorize random facts and a host of
other areas of one’s life. Signs of
dyslexia begin to appear as early as one
year of age, and a child can be accurately tested for dyslexia as early as five
years of age.
While people with dyslexia often
feel alone, they may be interesting in
knowing that many famous people have
capitalized on the learning diversity and
creativity that is bolstered by their
dyslexia. And with proper treatment,
you can, too!
Did you know that Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison were
dyslexic? So are Bill Gates, Patrick
Dempsey, Keira Knightly, Johnny Depp,
Henry Winkler, Tom Cruise, Jay Leno,
Cher, Pink, Orlando Bloom and Steven
Spielberg. And who can question the
creative genius of
Beethoven and John
Lennon, both dyslexic, yet
blessing generations with
their musical treasures?

Ghosts, Extraterrestrials
& Other Strange Phenomena
by Marian Rein
W
ho hasn’t pondered the existence of life
on other planets, ghosts and psychic phenomena? They are interesting thoughts,
but seriously considering the existence of
something that runs counter to our long-held
beliefs, for most people, requires “solid” evidence. Yet even then, people don’t seem to
readily change their beliefs, unless it is evidence from what they consider to be an authoritative source. Many of us were raised
with the notion that seeing is believing, but is
seeing really enough? May I suggest that “seeing is believing” is perhaps backwards; believing may be the precursor to seeing. Having
an open mind may be the first step to experiencing the supernatural.
For centuries, the atom was only a hypothesis, something surmised. No one had actually seen one, but scientists and others
believed in their existence. Today, we are able
to see the outline of atoms using an optical
microscope, but much of what is known
about the atom is speculation. We believe in
electromagnetic waves, but have you ever
seen one? We can see a smile, but do we
know if it is genuine or not?
Believing that atoms and electromagnetic waves exist is one thing, but the existence of ghosts and UFOs is something
perhaps a bit more of a challenge for many of
us. If you are someone who must see something before you can believe it, ask yourself
this: “What evidence would I need in order
to believe that something ‘other worldly’ exists, and if that evidence were presented to
me, how far could I actually veer from my current beliefs?” Have you heard people say, “I’ve
already made up my mind” or something to
that effect? Doesn’t that statement suggest a
reluctance to see things differently? At what
point do we begin to change our minds?
For many years, I held beliefs that were
not easily swayed. Today, I’m much more
open to all ideas, even those that run counter
to what I had come to know as true. Just a
few minutes of listening to some of the greatest minds on our planet, such as physicists
Lisa Randall and Michio Kaku, and we find
that science is discovering things that only a
few years ago were considered laughable. I
find it interesting that so many of us believe in
a higher, unseen power, yet many of the same
people have a hard time imagining life on
other planets, for example.
Following are some of my personal experiences that have helped to open my mind
to more possibilities. For the next few minutes, perhaps you’ll suspend disbelief and entertain the notion that there is much more to
this world than meets the eye.
Haunted Alton
Several years ago, my son became interest in ghosts. After perusing several books
about spooky, haunted places in Missouri and
Illinois, our interest grew, so we headed to
Alton, Il., to catch a glimpse of some of the
homes and other places described in the
books as being haunted. Of course we also
hoped to uncover some interesting stories
and perhaps even a personal encounter with
something supernatural.
As we drove past a mansion that was
mentioned in one of his books, we spied a
gentleman sitting on the porch of what is
known as the Mitchell Mansion. I struck up a
conversation with him about ghosts and the
stories we had read. What he described were
extraordinary experiences in the mansion,
and it left me wanting to know more. I was invited to spend the night at the mansion to experience it for myself.
lights—orbs—appearing in and around Piedmont, Missouri. I recall thinking that it must
be a “natural” phenomena and I never gave it
another thought, until last year.
While vacationing at a cabin near the
current river in Shannon County, Mo., in July
of 2012, I observed balls of light, blinking on
and off, all around the cabin. Initially, I thought
they were fireflies off in the distance. But as
they came closer to the cabin, I could estimate their size as approximately four to eight
inches in diameter—they were clearly not fireflies, and the duration of this event was more
than two hours. Were they extraterrestrials,
ghosts or some natural, explainable occurrence? (See the August 2012 issue of Java
Journal at www.JavaJournalSTL.com).
After I returned home from the cabin, I
remembered the stories I had heard about
orb lights in Piedmont, so I did a little internet
search and found a research paper written by
Initially, I thought they were fireflies off in the distance.
But as they came closer to the cabin, I could estimate
their size as approximately four to eight inches
in diameter—they were clearly not fireflies,
and the duration of this event was more than two hours.
In September of 2009, I spent the night
at Mitchell Mansion with my aunt, who was
also intrigued with the idea of being in a
haunted house.
That night, the “hauntings” began with
unexplained banging on the doors and windows of the second-floor room in which we
stayed. We even observed an elderly man
dressed all in white, white hair, no color whatsoever and who appeared on the deck, which
was attached to our room.
The experiences I had that night in
Mitchell Mansion provided compelling evidence, for me, that more exists beneath the
surface of what I had previously believed. But
were those experiences really enough evidence to say, unequivocally, that ghosts exist?
And what evidence would one require in
order to believe in ghosts? (See page 10 to
read the full story.)
Ozark Orbs
Many years ago, I heard bits and pieces
of stories about the sightings of unexplained
Dr. Harley Rutledge, chairman of the department of physics at Southeast Missouri State
University (SEMO). Dr. Rutledge had heard
many reports of flying objects from credible
witnesses. So in April of 1973 he began a
seven-year study that was published in a 1981
book titled, Project Identification: The First Scientific Field Study of the UFO Phenomena. Rutledge concluded that the orb lights responded

The Joplin Spook Light
After researching the lights in Piedmont,
I came across several websites containing stories about a similar light observed in and
around Joplin, Missouri, as well as Oklahoma.
The legend of the Joplin, Missouri, Spook
Light began in the late 1800s, according to
Spooky Meadows, a Joplin resident. No one
seems to know the source of the light or origin of the legend, but one thing seems certain—the light is still there.
The Joplin Spook Light, which is usually
seen at night, travels up and down Spook
Light Road (E 50 Road) and is often seen hovering over a tree line, sometimes changing
color from white to red or orange. Several
theories have been suggested regarding its
origin, including that it is some kind of magnetic aberration that caused an ionization of
the atmosphere near it, which causes the
gases to glow. The air might be ionized, but is
that a plausible explanation?
According to many of the websites I visited, the Army Corp of Engineers from Camp
Crowder conducted a study of the light during the Second World War, as have scientists
and other investigators, but no one has been
able to explained it. Most of the studies concluded that it’s probably some kind of a natural phenomenon, even suggesting that it may
be due to car headlights—preferring to sound
somewhat skeptical, denying all other explanations. Yet, they mentioned that the light
was there long before cars and electricity arrived on the scene.
According to Dale Kaczmarkek (ghostreseach.org, 2004), “Robert Gannon of Popular
Mechanics conducted a similar test in 1965,
accompanied by Dr. Henry H. Hicks, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Arkansas, who observed the light and
concluded that, in his opinion, the light is
‘…some kind of fixed light, perhaps a billboard
light, [but] some of the mechanisms are not
clear.’ A billboard light? Seen since 1881?”
Kaczmarket, at the end of his study, said
this: “I would like to leave you with this
thought concerning the Spook Light. I
showed some photographs to Pat Shenberg,
former president of the Illinois Society for
Psychic Research and a highly-gifted clairvoyant. After she examined the pictures and I explained our sighting of the diamond-shaped
object with a hollow center she said, “The
light isn’t a light but a doorway to another dimension.”
No one knows for sure the origin of the
Spook Light. Some believe it is escaping natural gas; others say it is luminescence created
by rotting organic matter; and others—car
headlights. But tell those explanations to people who believe that it is something “other
worldly” and they provide just as much evidence that denies the “logical explanations.”
It seems that people often look for explanations that feel comfortable to them or
coincide with their current belief systems. As
for me—well, I cannot say that I fully understand the ghosts of Mitchell Mansion or the
Ozark orbs, but I do believe that there is
more to life than meets the eye! ■

an you imagine the Brock house on HalC
loween? “It’s kind of a year-round thing
for the Brock household,” said Edwin Brock,
owner of Johnnie Brock’s Dungeon in South
St. Louis. “Our basement is filled with collectibles, masks, horror props, posters and
photographs, all relating to Halloween and
fun! I also construct a ‘haunted forest’ in the
back of my home for the kids each year. I
tone it down a bit in terms of the ‘scare factor’ so that families and kids of all ages can go
through it. Last year, we had about 500 people go through our haunted forest.”
The story of Johnnie Brock’s Dungeon
begins in 1929 when Johnnie Brock, a retired
St. Louis Cardinals baseball player, decided to
open a small greeting card shop in downtown
St. Louis. It was aptly christened, “Johnnie
Brock’s.”
The business and its owner weathered
some rough times, including the Great Depression and a fire that destroyed the store.
But Brock took a risk and opened a second
store that he continued to operate until his
son, Johnnie Brock, Jr., took over the business
in the 1950s.
In 1980, Brock, Jr.’s son, Edwin, took
over the second store—Johnnie Brock’s Card
and Gift Shop, located in South St. Louis in
Hampton Village. Four years later, Johnnie
Brock’s Dungeon Costumes was conceived
when Edwin Brock came up with the idea of
transforming the lower level, which was used
as a stock room, into a Halloween store
within the store. And The Dungeon was
born! Within two years, they were packing
crowds into The Dungeon. “It was called ‘The
Dungeon’ because the sales girls working in
the card shop referred to the lower level as
‘The Dungeon’ when one of them had to run
downstairs for a stock box,” Edwin recalled.
Three generations of Brocks brought
Johnnie Brocks into its eighty-fourth year, including Martha Brock Evans, Edwin’s sister,
who is his business partner and runs Johnnie
Brock’s Hallmark in McKenzie Pointe Plaza in
Shrewsbury.
Managing a successful business requires a
passion for the business, as well as skillful management. “My father and I have similar styles
of running the business,” Edwin said. “I
learned many things just being around him. I
noticed that he never micro managed his employees, and he would give them the freedom
and responsibility to make decisions.”
Together, Brock, Jr., and Edwin traveled
to many buying conventions in the card, party
and gift industry, where Edwin picked up
some buying wisdom from his dad. “I learned
to not always buy the things that you like,”
Edwin said. “Often, it’s the things you don’t
like that sell first or sell out completely. The
customers have different interests and
tastes.”
While he picked up
valuable business skills from
his father, Edwin noted one
slight difference between
them. “I have a bit more of
a ‘creative gene.’ I guess
that’s why my dad just let
me run with the Halloween
and costume idea.”
Reflecting on his childhood, Edwin recalled a time
when he was about seven
years old growing up in
Webster Groves. “My dad
was really into Halloween,
long before we had stores
devoted to the holiday,”
Edwin said. “I’d help him
construct props and decorations to transform the Brock residence into
a haunted house. Year after year, we would
create new props and decorations and come
up with new designs. Kids would line up on
Halloween to visit the Brock Haunted House,
and my dad and I would create scary stuff
that the kids could take with them.”
So as a child, Edwin seldom went trick
or treating as he was too busy scaring other
kids! “We had a blast doing it and as the years

The Ghosts of Mitchell Mansion
by Marian Rein
I
n the October 2009 issue of Java Journal,
I reported on Mitchell Mansion, located
in Alton, Il., and known to be haunted. I
interviewed the owner, Dale Lockard, and
several of his tenants. While their stories
of ghosts are extremely impressive, I
wanted to experience the spirits of Mitchell
Mansion for myself. I spent two nights
Mitchell Mansion, Alton, Illinois
there on two separate occasions, September 18 and October 2. Following are my
experiences.
On September 18, 2009, I arrived at
Mitchell Mansion with my aunt, Joanne
Martin of Chesterfield, Missouri. We spent
a delightful evening with many of the residents of the home, hearing stories of the
history of Alton, as well as their encounters with spirits. We walked around the
grounds and were told by one visitor of a
ghost she has often witnessed near the
courtyard behind the mansion, close to the
second-floor deck of the apartment in
which we were about to spend the night.
After our visit with the tenants,
Joanne and I retired to the vacant, recently
remodeled apartment located on the second floor of the mansion. The apartment
had large windows that provide a view of
the adjoining deck, with its dimly-glowing
light that, when activated by motion, became very bright.
At 2:18 a.m. during a game of Scrabble, the dim light on the deck became
bright, indicating motion on the deck.
Joanne walked to the window and saw
what she described as an older gentleman
with white hair and wearing white clothing,
pacing the deck. Startled by the sight of the
man on the deck, she quickly returned to
the table where I was sitting and described
what she had seen. An elderly gentleman
wearing white and on our deck at 2:18
a.m. seemed more than strange to me.
Frightened, unable to move and in a very
quiet, almost inaudible voice, I said, “It’s a
ghost.” Joanne wasn’t convinced since the
man appeared somewhat solid.
She went back to the window and
watched as he sat down with his back to
her, just a couple of feet from the window,
though he didn’t sit in a chair. Rather, he
sat without a chair beneath
him. Again, Joanne returned to the table, somewhat puzzled. Just a few
seconds later, together, we
went back to the window—
the man was gone. Simultaneously, we reached for
the door knob. At the
exact moment that we
touched the knob, the light
on the deck went out—
completely.
The next morning, we
attempted to find an explanation for the sighting of
the elderly man dressed in
white on our deck. No explanation could be found.
Two weeks later, on
Oct. 2, Joanne and I spent
another night at Mitchell
Mansion. This time, we
stayed on the third floor,
referred to as the penthouse, thinking that we
might experience greater
ghostly events.
That evening, we played cards with
one of the residents. Before retiring to the
penthouse, we made a date with several of
the more “solid” residents for breakfast.
We were scheduled to meet at 9:15 in the
foyer the following morning.
To access the penthouse, we climbed
an enormously long staircase to the third
floor. A beautiful space with high, arched
windows, the Penthouse provided a dramatic effect for our ghost-hunting experience. We settled into a game of Scrabble
and a few novice attempts to conjure up a
ghost or two. After a couple of hours, we
decided to head back to the apartment in
which we had stayed two weeks earlier.
At 1:30 a.m., while reading a book
about seances and doing our best to evoke
a response from any spirit that might be living in the mansion, we asked that any spirit
present please knock, sneeze, wheeze—
anything that would let us know of their
presence. After receiving no response, we
continued our game of Scrabble. At 1:55
a.m., we saw the motion light go on over
the deck and heard three hard knocks on
the door.
We immediately looked out onto the
deck. No one was there. NO ONE! Attempting to find a logical explanation for
the knocking, I said, “Come in Jeffery,”
thinking that it might be one of the residents wanting to either join us for a game
of Scrabble or provide us a scare! There
was clearly no one there, but I suppose in
my fright, I wanted to find a reasonable explanation for the knocking.
After discussing the possibilities for
there being an elderly man dressed in all
white on the deck at two in the morning
during our prior visit, and the recent
knocking on the door, we spread our sleeping bags out on the floor to get some rest.
door, no one was there. The front door of
the apartment is at the top of the staircase,
so when the door is open, one can see directly down to the foyer at the bottom.
All of the residents were in the foyer.
It would have been impossible for them to
have knocked, then reached the bottom of
the staircase before Joanne opened the
door. While we were puzzled, we just did-
Frightened, unable to move and in a very quiet,
almost inaudible voice, I said, ‘It’s a ghost.’…
Simultaneously, we reached for the door knob.
At the exact moment that we touched the knob,
the light on the deck went out, completely.
We needed to be up by nine for breakfast
with our friends.
At 9:05 the next morning, we heard
two hard knocks at the front door. Joanne
was up within a few seconds and opened
the door. No one was there. We assumed
that one of the residents had knocked on
the door to wake us up for breakfast,
n’t give it too much thought and prepared
to meet our hosts in the foyer.
During breakfast, Joanne and I began
to talk about the knocking on the door to
the deck the night before and the knocking
on the front door that morning. Dede, one
of three residents of the mansion, looked
inquisitively at us and asked, “Exactly what
time was it that you heard
the knocking this morning?” Dede explained that
just before Joanne opened
the door to the apartment at 9:15, she saw a
shadow of someone turning the corner at the top
of the stairs, just outside
our apartment, and assumed it was us. She continued, saying that at that
moment, a resident cat
looked up the staircase,
appeared to be frightened
and ran through an open
doorway to an apartment
located on the first floor.

or many families, making the decision to
put their children into a private school
is a difficult one, particularly because of
the high cost of tuition. It’s not uncommon
for an independent private school to charge
$10,000 to $15,000 or more per year. A
parochial elementary school can cost upwards of $4,000. This is a large investment
for most families, if not an impossibility. A private education is not for all families, but if it
seems right for yours, don’t let the high cost
of tuition stop you from applying to the
school or schools of your choice. Most private
schools offer financial assistance to families
who need it.
Many of the private schools in St. Louis
use a standardized financial assistance service
that allows families to fill out just one financial application that is reviewed and then submitted to as many schools as the family
chooses. This provides the schools your financial status and ability to pay. However,
there are several services being utilized, and
some schools have their own process. To find
out which service a school uses, visit its website and check under Scholarship, Financial
Aid or Tuition Assistance.
The majority of schools kick off the application process in October and November
with an open house. Following is a list of private schools in St. Louis with the dates of
their open houses. While many schools require that applications be completed by February, some require applications as early as
mid-November.
There are many questions to consider
when contemplating a public versus private
education for your children: homework requirements, after-school activities, required
parental involvement, etc. If you decide to attend some open houses, be sure to have your
list of questions in hand.
If you are unable to attend an open
house, you can call the school and schedule a
private appointment. Either way, be prepared! The application process can be lengthy,
but it’s certainly manageable. Just be sure that
you understand the process thoroughly.
Don’t be shy about calling the school for clarification if the information on its website
seems confusing.

hile William Woods University ofW
fers many diverse academic programs, its equestrian studies division —
with 220 students—is the most popular
field of study on the 180-acre scenic campus, located in Fulton, Missouri.
The university has a reputation for
providing one of the finest equestrian
studies programs in the country—filling a
national, regional and local demand for
graduates who hold a four-year degree in
equestrian science.
The university’s 157 horses represent saddle seat, hunter/jumper, dressage and western. Breeds include
American Saddlebreds, Quarter Horses,
Morgans, Thoroughbreds, Arabians,
Warmbloods and Friesians. Equestrian facilities include two heated indoor arenas,
a lighted outdoor ring, and a 40-acre
cross-country field.
The riding program at WWU
started in 1924, and in 1972, William
Woods was the first school in the country to offer a bachelor’s degree in equestrian science. An equine
administration degree
was instituted in 1992
for those more interested in the business side
of an equestrian career.
In 2011, another degree was added—a Bachelor of Science degree in
equine general studies,
with concentrations in
equestrian studies, therapeutic riding, equine
art, equine media and
equine leadership.
The equine general studies major is
designed to meet the need for a more
generalized field of equestrian studies
that prepares students for careers in the
horse industry outside of training, riding,
instructing and facility management.
The therapeutic riding concentration
teaches students to develop methods for
teaching riders to understand anatomy
and physiology as it relates to therapy riders and to achieve equine-assisted therapy success.
The equine leadership concentration
promotes an understanding of the methods of leadership used in the
business world and equine industry settings, as well as the
development of decision-making, negotiation and leadership
skills.
This fall, William Woods
University will introduce yet
another degree in the equestrian field—an online Master of
Education in Equestrian Education, the first of its kind in
the country.
The program is designed to
help students acquire a number of skills: teaching and
learning, instruction improvement, curriculum construction,
management of equestrian
program resources, equestrian
program development, instructional design for equestrian education, understanding
and responding to current issues, application of instructional theories
and strategies using technology, and action research.
Since its founding in 1870, the mission of William Woods University has
been to provide a quality education while
ensuring the development of the individual. The Equestrian Studies Division plays
a vital role in that mission. ■

COLLEGE PREP WITH A PURPOSE!
Come and see why
graduates are recruited by
some of the top colleges
in the country.
The world needs brilliant scientists, artists, designers,
teachers, linguists, social workers and technologists, as well
as brilliant CEOs, doctors and attorneys. At Crossroads
College Prep, we help each student to become the best at
whatever she or he chooses. We don’t fit the mold because
we don’t believe in molds.
We are not mainstream—mainstream is the accepted middle of the road and Crossroads College Prep is not the center of the road. Rather, like Frost’s “road less traveled by,”
we provide a path that “has made all the difference” to the
individuals who teach and learn within our walls.
Small class sizes foster close relationships between students
and teachers. One hundred percent of our seniors go on to
attend some of the finest colleges and universities in the
country. The Class of 2013 was offered over $8 million in
merit-based college scholarship.

ADHD in Adults & Children:
A Natural Solution
by the doctors at Saint Louis Neurotherapy Institute
When we hear ADHD, a picture of a
hyperactive kid, running his parents
ragged, is often what comes to mind. However, when these kids grow up, it is now
recognized that the symptoms of ADHD
continue into adulthood for about 70 percent of children with ADHD. That translates into four percent of the adult
population in the U.S. or eight million
adults. However, few are identified and
treated for it.
Adults with ADHD may have difficulty following directions, remembering information, concentrating, organizing tasks
or completing work within time limits. If
these difficulties are not managed appropriately, they can cause associated behavioral, emotional, social, vocational and
academic problems.
These are just a few of the behaviors
■
and problems that may stem directly from
ADHD or may be the result of related adjustment difficulties: chronic procrastination and forgetfulness, anxiety, low
self-esteem, employment problems, difficulty controlling anger, impulsiveness, substance abuse, poor organization skills, low
frustration tolerance and difficulty concentrating when reading.
These behaviors may be mild to severe and can vary with the situation or be
present all of the time. Some adults with
ADHD may be able to concentrate if they
are interested in or excited about what
they are doing. Others may have difficulty
focusing under any circumstances.
When the brain becomes dysregulated, it sometimes produces a high level of
theta waves in waking states. In these
cases, it is associated with distractibility,
inattention and daydreaming. In some
cases, the individual will become hyperactive to compensate for the lack of focus.
There are options for those suffering
with ADHD. Neurofeedback has a rich history of helping reverse many of the symptoms associated with this disorder. It is a
non-invasive training procedure designed
to teach children and adults with ADHD
how to control their own brainwaves—
bringing balance, harmony and regulation
to the brain.The goal of neurofeedback is
to transform an unhealthy brainwave pattern into a healthy one.

BOMB POP
Bomb Pop is every bit as
adorable as his picture. The crazy
ears, the quizzical expression and
the intent eyes are all part of this
bundle of energy and excitement. He
is a staff and volunteer favorite.
They call him "phenomenal" and
“super sweet.” He loves people and
comes running to his apartment
door when anyone calls his name.
Bomb Pop is a young guy who loves
his outdoor activities. He also does
well with other dogs.
Bomb Pop is clearly looking at
something in his picture, and that
something is a new family. He promises to keep you from becoming a
couch potato because he loves to exercise with his people. Can you resist
his adorable face? Bomb Pop hopes
you can't.
ECOTEC
Ecotec has the greatest pair of
ears in the shelter. Like sonar, they
miss nothing. Stray Rescue got a call
about a dog lying in the same spot in a
park for three days. When the rescue
team approached, Ecotec popped up
and went along with them, as if he had
been waiting for this moment all along.
Ecotec is quite fond of the people
he sees every day, but he is just crazy
about other dogs. When he spots one,
he begins a type of singing noise of joy.
He has lots of puppy energy and playfulness. Added to all of his other wonderful characteristics is his sweetness.
Ecotec is going to make some
lucky family a great canine companion.
He's looking right at you and letting
you know how great the two of you
would be together.

It’s Essential!
by Fran Taylor
Living a balanced life is important for our well being — spiritual,
emotional and physical. With so
many demands on us, we tend to
opt for getting it all done first, and if
there’s any time left over, we’ll do a
thing or two that nurtures us.
Many years ago, I heard someone suggest that I do things that are
essential before what is important.
I’ve come to understand the truth in
it. In order to feel good and function
at our best level, it’s important that
we do things that are essential to
our well being—before anything else.
Here is a list of what I consider
to be essential. Making time for
these things every day will create a
more rewarding life experience.
Fran’s List of Essentials
• Preparing healthy
foods.
• Exercising
• Spending time with
good friends
• Meditating
• Resting
• Creativity, such as art,
music, poetry, writing
• Laughter and
playfulness
• Spending time in
nature
• Reading Java Journal!

Wouldn’t it be nice to find such
balance in our lives that everything we
do could be done with a sense of ease
rather than struggle or hurry or
worry? Wouldn’t it be great if we
could shift our minds away from “life is
hard” to “I choose to let life be easy?”
It’s all up to you. You get to

peace, poise and profound intention.

I am. I accept whatever is happening with
calm assurance that all is well. I stop resisting what is, and in so doing I discover

Following are four positive statements, the first letters spelling EASY,

my heart sing, my efforts pay off, my
face shine with a smile and my feet carry
me on a joy-filled journey.
Y

work, to play. “Yes” isn’t a guess, it’s a
decision. I know what I want, I enjoy
what I have, I live as I choose, and I play
with the innocence and joy of a child.
“Yes” opens stuck doors, closed minds
and stagnant attitudes. Yes, I know when
to say “no,” but only when it’s taking a
stand for the “yes” I feel in my heart.
