Dr. Daly is an upper cervical chiropractor, whichmeans his practice focuses on the misalignments of thebones at the top of the neck. According to the doctor,correcting this misalignment has effects on the entire

body by optimizing nervous system function.Dr. Daly said he wants to provide care to those who

have tried all other options and are still having issues.The techniques used at our clinic can help all

people, ranging from low back pain to headaches tothings not commonly seen as helped by chiropractic,such as fibromyalgia, he said. I also have a specialinterest in pediatric care, which allows for us to findproblems early and prevent them from getting worse.

Dr. Daly is an active member of the KirkwoodChamber of Commerce, and loves practicing in thecommunity in which he grew up. He encouragesquestions from patients, and promotes their activeparticipation in the healing process.

We explain what is going to happen as well as whatis going on in their bodies so that they really understandit and understand what were doing, he said.

Dr. Daly has the most cutting-edge technology at hisfingertips, like paraspinal computerized infrared

thermography to detect neurological interference, as wellas specific radiology procedures.

I love giving people options that work, and seeinghappy families grow together in health, he said. Its greatto hear someone say that they were working around thehouse and had to stop and realize that something wasdifferent they were not in pain! People get used to thesethings and see them as normal when they are truly not.

Optometrists today serve as primary eye care providers

and are trained in diagnostic and therapeutic treatment ofeye health, said Jack Priesmeyer, co-owner of Pearle Visionof Sunset Hills.

He and his wife, Jennifer, also co-owner, are proud to

have on staff the talents of Optometrist Emma SchafersO.D., and Optician Rhonda Williams. Together, they offeradvanced eye care with comprehensive exams, glasses,contacts and over 1,000 current fashion frames, from value

to designer.Pearle Vision is now offering digital retinal imaging

exams. This procedure, which involves amplified retinalimaging, allows optometrists a much larger view of the back

of the eye (the retina). In many instances, this can eliminatethe need for dilation.

With the more advanced technology, we have increasedour focus on complete eye care, including evaluation of eye

health, rather than just refraction, said Jack Priesmeyer.We are able to identify general health conditions such asdiabetes and high blood pressure simply by evaluating apatients eyes.

I truly love working with people to achieve their goalsthrough good vision, whether with eyeglasses or contactlenses, said Dr. Schafers. When I have a happy and excitedpatient leave my office, I feel that Ive done my job.

In uncertain economic times, our pledge to you: NOGIMMICKS. We own our business and we want to earnyour business. We offer great value and accept most visionplans, including Eyemed, Priesmeyer said.

Family-owned Algonquin Nurses Home Health Care brings

personal, reliable services to their clients. It provides Medicaid home

care, Private Support care and Medicare home health skilled care.

Algonquin Nurses was started in 1987 as a family business.

Steve Tamboli and Mary h is mom started the company as a staffing

agency for nursing homes. They truly started the company one

patient at a time. The industry started to change in the early

1990s. Nursing homes started to use fewer agencies for staffing.

Steves brother Mark joined the company to start the Medicaid

Home Care Department. Shortly after, Steves sister Anne Tamboli

Keathley joined the group to start the Medicare Home Health

Department. During that time of change, the industry was

rotating towards private support care.

In addition to the siblings, staff includes Lori Yocum, D.O.N.,

in the St. Louis and OFallon offices; Carolyn Thomeczek, Private

Support Care Department manager in the St. Louis office;

Jeannine Brannum, Medicaid Home Care Services director for

four offices; and Unice Wandix, Medicaid Home Care Services

manager in the St. Louis office.

Since 1987, Algonquin has expanded 4 offices serving 16

counties including St. Louis.

Algonquin Nurses Home Health Care programs are designed

to fit your specific need in your home, said Mark Tamboli.

Services range from skilled nursing care when you return home

from the hospital to simple personal and home care services.

All employees are very carefully selected, screened and bonded.Service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

The staff goes way beyond their means to assist our clients,

said Thomeczek. The staff and clients become very close, so close

in fact that they are often considered part of the family.

Clients agree.

Carolyn and the entire staff at Algonquin went above and

beyond to take care of my grandmother and make her last weeks

here on earth as pleasant as possible, said the granddaughter of a

former client.

by Kevin MurphySt. Louis is, without argument, one of

this countrys great sports cities, yet when

it comes to honoring its star athletes and

sports traditions, St. Louis has dropped the

ball.

You see, St. Louis does not have an all-encompassing sports hall of fame a sad

fact that is about to be remedied.

Sports broadcaster, writer, and

broadcast executive Greg Marecek, also

a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of

Fame, last week announced the formation

of the new St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame.

The Sports Hall of Fame is really a

missing link in our metropolitan area

sports scene, said Marecek, a resident

of Webster Groves. Weve needed a

place to tell the stories with artifacts and

presentations for youth and adults alike to

learn about and enjoy the great traditions

of St. Louis sports.

Marecek said the hall of fame will honor

St. Louis sports legends from the days ofthe 1926 World Champion Cardinals and

the likes of Grover Cleveland Alexander

to the 2006 World Series winners.

We have so many great individual

performers to recognize in different

sports from golf to tennis to

bowling and so on.

At one time St. Louis did

have its own hall of fame, a

small version that adjoined the

Cardinals Hall of Fame located

wi th in the previous Busch Stadium. That

hall of fame, however, ceased years ago.

Marecek has experience as a working

board member on four halls of fame. As

executive director of the new project,

Marecek will head a staff that will market

the not-for-prot organization.

A primary function of the St. Louis

Sports Hall of Fame will be the induction of

former great local professional and amateurathletes. Marecek said a nominating

committee will be directed by Baseball

Hall of Fame sportswriter Rick Hummel.

Hummel and his committee, consisting

of what will be more than 100 former

athletes, coaches and administrators,

will make selections leading to an annual

induction ceremony.

A home for the new hall of fame has not

been chosen. One location being looked

at is the St. Louis Sports Center at 6727

Langley Avenue in Affton. The 100,000

square-foot facility, housing six basketball

and eight volleyball courts,

track facilities, a weight

facility and several turf

football elds, attracts

thousands of athletes and

fans each month.

Sports Halls of Famecant succeed as a primary

destination, but today need

to accompany an actual

sports facility where people

are already coming. Thats

the type of facility we are

looking for to call home,

Marecek said.

The executive director

said the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame is

seeking corporate and individual support

from people wanting to preserve, in one

place, the memories of the greatest teams,

players and moments in all St. Louis

sports.

It will be a Hall of Fame in action,

conducting kids clinics with the pros,periodic luncheons talking sports with

celebrities, and the induction dinner of

the Hall of Famers, Marecek said. The

Cardinals, the Rams, the Blues, the Big

Red, the Hawks, and all the other sports

will be represented with displays and rare

historical pieces.

The St. Louis Hall of Fame will include

championship trophies, uniforms of the

stars, or how about the scorecard of the

last game ever played at Sportsmans Park

by the St. Louis Browns? Marecek said.
