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

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.

claimed Wood (www.etmoore.com).
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
