SALUTING COVID-19 FRONTLINE HEROES

NO DOUBT THE WORD ES·SEN·TIAL ASSUMED RENEWED MEANING DURING 2020: “ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY; EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.” Prior to 2020, everyone might’ve considered themselves ‘necessary’ to how everyday life manifested. However, as the coronavirus pandemic prompted an unprecedented U.S. shutdown, many people discovered just how essential they were to keeping their immediate communities alive. It was a year of reminders that nothing happens in a vacuum. Missouri guidelines eventually categorized essential employee as: health care workers; caregivers; law enforcers; firefighters; first responders; government operators; mental health/social service workers; pharmacy employees; workers supporting groceries, pharmacies and retail sales of food/beverage products; restaurant carryout/quick-serve food operators; food deliverers; farmworkers; electricity/ utility industry employees; mechanics, construction workers, electricians, plumbers; medical supply chains; food producers; petroleum/natural/propane gas workers; transportation/ logistics workers; communications and information technology employees. This feature’s intent is to share gratitude to ALL who risked their lives to sustain the rest of us during this long pandemic, especially anyone who’s feeling overlooked and deprioritized, even expendable. The following community residents are representative of all essential employees with lived realities about coronavirus survival.

HOMETOWN HERO (CONTINUED)

Chesterfield Police Officer Teresa Koebbe says officers continued to go above-and-beyond for the community during the pandemic, which added more risk to an already dangerous job. “Police officers were creative in giving help during new pandemic challenges. Chesterfield PD started a prescription delivery program, where residents who didn’t feel safe going out of their homes could contact us to pick up and deliver essential prescriptions,” recalls Teresa. Chesterfield police officers voted to take a pay cut instead of the city furloughing officers during the pandemic. Teresa says citizens raised money, delivered gift cards, and brought food/care packages to the station in response. “It was wonderful to see the outpouring of community appreciation,” she adds. Ka’Tina McAfee, Dierbergs assistant store director, says she coped by taking deep breaths and listening with truly open ears. The pandemic prompted her to consider all the ways to communicate with customers about why certain things were happening. She says she wishes more people would’ve considered that workers, too, were going through the same pandemic with similar feelings. Ka’Tina says the pandemic made her want to do more, so she volunteered for the Pfizer vaccination trial.

Jackie Holloman, St. Luke’s Hospital senior director ancillary services, reflected, “How teams came together so quickly to provide patient care was an awesome thing to witness.” Her husband packed picnics for her days-off. “We’d go to my mom’s house, sit on the patio and talk through the screen. Thank God for FaceTime,” she says. Jackie works with a local high school group interested in pursuing health care careers. “When I emailed 70-plus students and their parents that we’d have to postpone the program, I was in awe of how quickly they made masks and fundraised for the hospital.” St. Luke’s Infectious Disease Physician Pearl Philip, MD, believes they were so close to this pandemic, it was hard to appreciate the enormity the world was experiencing. “I’m grateful to be alive, in a profession, in a hospital, in a country where I can be part of the solution and actively hope,” she says. When people appear cavalier about COVID-19 precautions, this physician wishes they could see what the medical staffs see–just how sick this virus makes people. “Surviving COVID-19 shouldn’t be taken for granted.” “Nothing we achieved in confronting this crisis could’ve been done without team effort. Our individual struggles were a shared struggle. In doing so, our burden was lightened,” says Dr. Philip. She concludes: “One virus brought the world to a standstill. COVID-19 helped us understand our shared vulnerability and interconnectedness. The pandemic summoned the best of human ingenuity–the creation of such an effective vaccine in a year is nothing but astonishing.” Kari Johnson, Chesterfield recreation superintendent, says although the parks/recreation/arts department struggled, they did their best to provide for residents by keeping parks actively open. “Biking, hiking and walking became a huge benefit in coping.” She says she learned how important parks, recreation and arts really is to patrons. “Our parks filled with socially distanced groups, circled up, wearing masks, talking and laughing. It was really wonderful to see.” Kari says seniors were tremendously grateful for the Joy Bags they assembled, with donations from generous business teams. “Going through the pandemic was humbling. Just taking time to have longer conversations and show you care goes a long way. When depression and anxiety came to the forefront, the parks and trails were some people’s light,” she concludes. Melissa Weissler, Operation Food Search child nutrition program manager, ponders how many people navigated the emergency food network for the first time, suddenly learning it can be a fairly complicated system. “I didn’t feel isolation, rather overload, at having to interact with so many people, when we were scared everyone was a potential threat to our health. I had to trust distancing and PPE guidelines would keep me safe,” she adds. Melissa says, “When courting donors, we say, ‘you never know when you might need a helping hand yourself.’ When COVID shutdowns hit, too many people from the ‘this will never happen to me’ category found themselves there. We hope most people never need us, but we’re here if they do.” She says St. Louis County Library staffers stepped up in incredible ways to ensure the community had access to food resources. “So many partners went above-and-beyond their normal scope because they understood these were extraordinary times.”

READY TO WEAR: LOCAL WRITER WEAVES COLORFUL, HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF ST. LOUIS' PIVOTAL ROLE CREATING FOOTWEAR AND FASHION

NEW YORK, PARIS AND MILAN MAY BE KNOWN FOR FASHION, BUT PICK UP AUTHOR VALERIE BATTLE KIENZLE’S COFFEE TABLE BOOK, READY TO WEAR, AND YOU’LL SOON LEARN ST. LOUIS WAS QUITE THE MECCA FOR FASHION AND FOOTWEAR FOR SEVERAL DECADES. A self-described history nerd, Valerie takes us back to 1764, when St. Louis was a fur-trading village. Ultimately, with a prime location on the banks of the Mississippi River, the city became a center for fur trading, cotton and wool distribution and then clothing production by the 19th century. “All types of skins and pelts were in demand and popular for buyers to take them back to Europe to sell to the wealthy. In fact, where the Gateway Arch now stands, there used to be 40 blocks of warehouses with many affiliated with the fur industry,” Valerie says.

Gaining Back Quality Of Life ARTICLE KARA SAVIO

“We work with seven different hearing aid manufacturers giving us access to all the best technology on the market.” MORE THAN ONE IN SEVEN AMERICANS HAVE SIGNIFICANT HEARING LOSS. According to the Center for Hearing and Communication, that’s about 48 million people in the United States, making hearing loss the third most common chronic physical condition, following arthritis and heart disease. Left untreated, hearing loss can significantly impact quality of life. Research shows that people with hearing loss are more likely to develop dementia, depression, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. It can even affect one’s income. Patients with untreated hearing loss are three times more likely to fall, too. Yet, people are sometimes reluctant to get help when their hearing fades.

say that hesitancy to get treatment means people suffer needlessly. Margaret and Tina have been dedicated to improving the communication skills of those with hearing loss since their undergraduate days as students together at St. Louis University. “When we were studying communication disorders, there were not many audiology courses, but we were both just drawn to the field of audiology,” Margaret says. After graduate school, they both completed their Clinical Fellowship Year at Washington University School of Medicine. Margaret opened Associated Hearing Professionals in 2008, and Tina joined her shortly after.

They specialize in hearing care by evaluating, diagnosing, treating and managing all hearing-related problems. They now split their time between two offices, in Clayton and Chesterfield. Tina says it’s important that their staff is highly trained and understands visiting a hearing doctor can be extremely stressful for some people. The team at AHP prioritizes patients’ needs and provides individualized care and service. Thanks to technological advances, such as digital and Bluetooth compatible hearing aids, Margaret and Tina are seeing lifechanging outcomes for their patients. Even people in their 90s are using Bluetooth to connect to their phone. “Modern

in noisy conditions,” Margaret explains. Tina says it’s essential their patients have access to many choices so they get exactly what they need. “We work with seven different hearing aid manufacturers giving us access to all the best technology on the market,” Tina says. “That way, our patients can get the best recommendation for their needs.” Margaret and Tina say their patients’ reactions after finally being able to hear again are tremendously rewarding. “We see a lot of happy tears, and that is truly gratifying,” Margaret says.
