Micaela Kennedy stands with horse<br />

Pagani and son Tyler Kennedy<br />

For equestrian enthusiasts, Kennedy Farms<br />

Equestrian Center offers professional training,<br />

boarding, sales, leasing, clinics and summer camp<br />

options for riders who want to be coached by and<br />

learn from the best of the best. Summer camp begins<br />

June 8.<br />

“What sets us apart is the fact that we’re all about<br />

horsemanship,” award-winning owner Micaela<br />

Kennedy said. “We teach riders to brush, groom and<br />

tack, as well as to ride – it’s the whole package. We<br />

offer a broad-based program from competing in highlevel<br />

horse shows to teaching beginner clients. Kennedy Farms is conveniently located<br />

and is an enjoyable and safe place for both adults and<br />

children to learn riding and horsemanship.”<br />

Micaela has gained global recognition for her yearafter-year<br />

wins in prestigious competitions, multiple<br />

Horse of the Year titles and producing top quality horses,<br />

making her a highly sought after, top hunter-jumper<br />

trainer in the nation. Since 1981, Kennedy Farms has<br />

specialized in hunter/jumper training and showing.<br />

Clients range from beginners to those competing in<br />

Grand Prix classes in top<br />

competitions across the<br />

“Our program has evolved,” Micaela said. “Riding is a<br />

sport that can be enjoyed by all ages. Over the years, we<br />

have competed and won quite a bit but, whether competing<br />

or riding at home, our riders become members of a large<br />

extended family through an abiding common interest in these<br />

remarkable animals.”<br />

Designing lifestyles, one room at a time<br />

BaumHouse Design, LLC was established in <strong>20</strong>08 as a kitchen, bath and interior<br />

remodeling company.<br />

The business is located off Vance Road in Valley Park in a stand-alone frame house<br />

originally built circa 1880 as a private residence. While it has been renovated for commercial<br />

space, it continues to maintain a residential presence that is ideal for a business specializing<br />

in residential interior remodeling.<br />

Julie Baum, owner and principal<br />

designer, is a professional member of ASID<br />

[American Society of Interior Designers]<br />

and CAPS [a Certified Aging in Place<br />

Specialist]. BaumHouse design provides<br />

a turnkey service to their clientele from<br />

initial basic concept design to the finished<br />

remodel of the home with an emphasis on<br />

customer service, quality of products, and<br />

attention to detail. Clients benefit from a bespoke service that is tailored to each customer’s<br />

needs. BaumHouse design’s customer base is built on returning clientele for whom we<br />

have completed previous projects, referrals from their customers to their friends and family,<br />

referrals from contractors, and from other designers. The design process starts with a<br />

scheduled home visit to discuss your goals and the investment you are prepared to make<br />

to achieve the desired results. Understanding that most clients know what they like but<br />

can’t envision how it will look in their spaces, BaumHouse design uses multi-dimensional<br />

renderings to present design concepts to “walk-through” the project. The boutique showroom<br />

is stocked with cabinetry door and wood samples, and display shelves full of beautiful tile<br />

for flooring and backsplashes.<br />

“If we don’t have it, we will find it for you,” Julie said.<br />

The entire process ensures customer<br />

satisfaction before the project ever begins.<br />

Visit the BaumHouse design website for<br />

more information and to see photos of<br />

completed projects. Showroom hours are<br />

by appointment, but walk-ins are welcome!<br />

Eliminate those annoying squeaks<br />

Annoying household squeaks can be eliminated with help from Squeak Stoppers.<br />

Squeak Stoppers has been able to provide peace and quiet to thousands of families<br />

and homeowners within the region for over a decade. Owner Scott Diebold has a vast<br />

knowledge of home construction and the friction that comes from flooring and other<br />

building materials.<br />

Squeak Stoppers can take the squeaks out of<br />

hardwood floors, carpet, vinyl and tile on the<br />

first or second floor of a home, with finished or<br />

unfinished basements. But not all squeaks come<br />

from floors.<br />

“There are other things, like duct work, gas<br />

lines, floor joists and even walls that can squeak,”<br />

Diebold said. “That is where we come in. Our<br />

vast knowledge of home construction and squeak<br />

stopping aids us in a quick turnaround with noninvasive<br />

techniques.”<br />

Because every home is different, Squeak<br />

Stoppers starts by assessing the floors in a home<br />

with a free consultation.<br />

Scott Diebold, The Squeak Guy<br />

“As part of our assessment, we will pinpoint and<br />

survey each individual squeak so that customers<br />

will be aware of how many squeaks we can stop.<br />

This information will also be used for our lifetime guarantee,” Diebold said.<br />

Once the assessment has been completed, Squeak Stoppers will discuss the technique<br />

to be used on the individual home<br />

and outline the pricing structure. The<br />

process for eliminating those annoying<br />

squeaks is usually done in less than<br />

a day.<br />

Call Squeak Stoppers today to set up<br />

a free consultation, (314) 341-9676.<br />

Bureau-accredited company.<br />
