Dear Kansas City Parents,I am sitting at home with tears running down my face. My brother, a pediatrician from Rochester, New York just wrote to tell me that one of his patients, a two year old, drowned in an above ground pool at day care.

Ten years ago, I went to my brother when I wanted to get involved with Infant Aquatics. I wanted to know from a medical standpoint what the reaction would be to teaching infants and toddlers to swim. My brother was very hesitant and told me to emphasize the safety aspects of the program. This year when we started our program, I kept him up to date on what KCSA and IA are trying to accomplish.

A recent youtube video featured an 18 month old swimming across a small pool. There have been 1.1 million viewers. Most of the people were commenting on the parents forcing their child to work out! The safety aspects were not discussed. Infant Aquatics is NOT about having little children work out. The #1 reason to teach a child to swim is to prevent an aquatic accident such as drowning or severe aquatic injury. These accidents are totally preventable.

This summer in KC we have had six drownings: four adults, one 16 year old and one two year old. This is a terrible tragedy that never should happen.

At the KCSA we emphasize to your children the importance of water safety: not diving into unmarked lakes, ponds, pools. When in doubt, don’t do it! The impor-tance of wearing a certified Coast Guard life jacket when riding in a boat or enjoy-ing water sports like water skiing, boating, fishing. Making the wise decision when they are out with their family or friends. Never swim alone.

I am writing this email to remind everyone to use good decisions when around water. Have a healthy respect for the water. Encourage everyone to learn to swim

I want to thank Flip Short and Dan Lowe for helping KCSA to bring Infant Aquat-ics and rescue floating to the KC area. Our Lee’s Summit facility is perfect for teaching any level of person to learn to swim.

I hope that in the future I can send to you only our success stories and no more heartbreaking news of drownings! The KCSA and staff have our work cut out for us but I am so proud that with the help of Flip and Dan that we can make a lasting difference and save lives in KC!

The next few weeks our swimmers will be competing in their Championship meets. We wish them the best of luck and are very proud of them! Hold them tight and love them!Be safe!MJKlier, Director KCSA

IMPRESSIONIST FRANCE : Visions of Nation from LeGray to Monet

Exhibition Dates: October 19, 2013 thru February 9, 2014

Location: Bloch BuilldingExperience the pleasure and excitement of traveling through mid-19th century France. From Paris to the countryside, the top of Mont Blanc to the Mediterranean, this exhibition features approximately 125 key paintings and photographs by well-known Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, as well as important photographs by Gustave Le Gray and Édouard Baldus.

Impressionist France explores connections between landscape and national identity during a period in which France was being fundamentally transformed and modernized. Painters and photographers composed competing visions of France as modern and industrialized or, in equally potent terms, as rural and anti-modern.

Within this historical context key artists emerged and drew inspiration, including Monet, Pissarro and others from the Impressionist generation. It is also during this period that influential photographers, such as Le Gray, Baldus, and the Bisson frères profoundly advanced the practice of photography from amateur experimentation to artistic mastery, while also demonstrating its value as a vital documentary tool for state-sponsored agendas.

This exhibition will showcase works never before seen in the region, and include important paintings and pho-tographs from 36 major American and European muse-ums and several private collections.

The Nelson-Atkins is located at 45th and Oak Streets, Kansas City, MO. Hours are Wednesday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; Thursday/Friday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; Sunday, Noon–5 p.m. Admission to the mu-seum is free to everyone. For museum information, phone 816.751.1ART (1278) or visit nelson-atkins.org.

GET BACK TO NATURESo there is absolutely no denying it, fall is here. Booyah. I am talking neutrals, organic materials and the autumnal palette we all adore. To autumnize my space I look for natural materials such as stones, woods and furs that take you back to nature. They give that cozy and homey aesthetic that screams fall. Also on the list? Gold baby. Solid gold. Add a splash of brass to table setting or shelf and you have instant autumn glam. Do not forget the warm palette of orange, oxblood, ambers and teals. And voila! You have an enviable fall space. Get it.

LINDSAY’S BIO: S+S focuses on unique interior design, entertaining, fashion and lifestyle. Most of all bridging the gap between home design and fashion. I am passionate about design, half birthdays, black coffee, designer heels, statement pieces, anything gold and cross-word puzzles. My favorite thing about interior design is that I get to express my personality in a physical way. For those who know me, I am brutally honest, bubbly and unapologetically colorful. I get inspiration from all facets, just like anyone else: online publications, Pinterest, blogs, magazines, you name it. Some of my favorite inspiration comes from window displays.

“18 years ago I started my career in real estate. KCHOME and Life-

style evolved and our listings are distributed by the magazine to hundreds of websites world wide and we

get a lot of leads from these websites. To this day, people instinctively pick up the KCHOME and Lifestyle magazine at the grocery store, and we still receive calls daily from those

house hunters.”Darin Jones of Realty Professionals

“KCHOME and Lifestyle has been a great

partner through the years.

Always helpful.”

Martin & MaryJo Ricono

of Reece&Nichols Lee’s Summit

“Recently, Gwen Kemper was selected to market a property be-cause this particular lady knew we advertised in the KCHOME and Lifestyle. In fact, she pulled out a recent issue to comment on our advertising and said she liked the fact that we did not just adver-tise on the Internet. Her home featured on the front cover and sold within a short time.” Micki Trotter/Gwen Kemper of Woodward Real Estate

“I’ve been advertising in KC Homes/KCHome Lifestyle magazine for many years. During the last few tough years, it continued to be a great value when marketing my listings. I’ve received many leads over the years from the magazine and its as-sociated online presence... It gives me an edge when interviewing with Sellers. I’m excited about the recent changes they’ve made in the magazine, and I believe their new look will bring new appeal to the magazine, and carry them into the future as still a great value and a great means of advertising for agents that want to reach more potential buyers.” Julie Deppen Keller Williams Realty Partners, Inc.
