Ive worked at St. Anthonys Medical Center for five years, so I thought

I understood how we touch peoples lives. But two weeks before Christmas,

I experienced it first-hand.

My 32-year-old husband, Michael, came down with the flu. Two days later,

he was in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Anthonys with strep pneumonia

a dangerous situation that quickly turned into sepsis, leaving himunconscious and on a ventilator.

I sat with Michael while he fought for his life. As he started to improve,

I asked one of his physicians how I could ever thank everyone for saving his life.

Dr. Robert Griesbaum looked at me and said, This is what we do. Today, as

I watch Michael at home, playing with our two children, I am forever grateful.

St. Anthony's isn't just a place I work - it's a place that saved my husband's life.

by Jennifer Grotpeter Meals on Wheels was born of

necessity. When Londoners foundthemselves homeless during the Blitzof WWII, those who could still preparemeals used the meager suppliesavailable, cooked meals, and deliveredthem to the hungry.

Some delivery volunteers hadcars, while still others used pramsstuffed with straw to keep the foodhot. Eventually, the Meals on Wheelsconcept jumped the Pond and came to

the U.S., bringing warm hearts andwarm food together to feed those whoare unable to cook for themselves.

Ruth Hellstern of Des Peres wasan early volunteer for the programin Webster Groves, and has recentlyretired after more than 40 years of service.

Church Women United, anecumenical womens group, broughtMeal on Wheels to the St. Louis areain 1972. The late Ruth Hunter, wife of Webster Groves Presbyterian ChurchHead Pastor Rev. Thom Hunter, wasa founding member of Church WomenUnited. She and her colleaguesrealized that many elderly membersof their congregations were obligedto enter care facilities or simply gohungry. They lacked the ability or

mobility to prepare their own meals.Tapping into the church resources

she had, Mrs. Hunter organized thosewho wanted to help, and Meals onWheels in St. Louis frst rolled out.

Many members of our church wereinvolved early on in volunteering,said Deon Lee, Coordinator of Congregational Connections forWebster Groves Presbyterian Church.

Native St. Louisan Ruth Hellsternmoved to Webster Groves in the1960s.

Jobs would sometimes take usaway from St. Louis, but we alwayswound up back here, she explained.

A friend of hers was volunteeringwith Meals on Wheels, but one daywas unable to take her shift.

The meals, usually six, are madeat hospitals and nursing homes, andvolunteers pick them up and quicklydeliver them to the clients so thatthey are still warm, Hellstern said.A friend asked me to sub for her outof St. Marys Hospital. I volunteeredto help, but I didnt know Claytonvery well and kept getting lost. I dontthink anyone got a warm meal.

Hellstern soon went to a morefamiliar area, working with Bethesda

Dilworth on Big Bend in Oaklandand delivering to Webster Groves andShrewsbury. She drove meals oneday a week.

I tried to get them their meals asquickly as possible, especially those

for diabetics. I would try to get themtheirs rst, Hellstern said.

Meals are available for a varietyof circumstances, including low salt,diabetic, even Kosher.

Sometimes theres soup, usually asalad, an entre, sometimes ice creamor pudding, milk, its a well-roundedmeal, said Hellstern.

After several years in WebsterGroves, Hellstern moved to Des Peresand began volunteering for NormandyOsteopathic Hospital (now Des PeresHospital at 2345 Dougherty FerryRoad) and continued until her recentretirement, ending more than 40years of service to the community.

I am moving to Columbia to becloser to my daughter, otherwise Iwould continue, she said. Meals onWheels delivers ve days a week, nomatter what the weather. We are likethe postman. I have even delivered onThanksgiving. If they have a meal, weget it to them.

We serve people who want tostay in their homes, but cant standat the stove or the sink, Hellsterncontinued. There was a time whenI would serve people for years, butmore and more, its short term. Nowthere are more avenues for olderpeople, and we see people for only twoor three weeks, often after they havebeen released from hospitals.

A few clients stand out in hermemory.

The men are a bit reticent to talk,but I always devoted time to themwhen they wanted to tell me a funnystory. I made sure the gentleman whoread the almanac was my last stop soI could give him my full attention,

and no ones meal would get cold,Hellstern recalled. One gentlemanwho was wheelchair-bound had hissister bring him a box of candy to giveto me. I was very humbled.

Hellstern may be leaving the St.Louis area, but she will not stopvolunteering.

Ill nd something, she said,Ill be 91 in September, but haveexcellent health. I know there areorganizations that can use my help.Maybe a hospital, the USO, or thehistorical society. Id like to pay backsome of the bene ts we have had, andgive back in time and effort if I can.My sister, Dorothy Showman, is still

volunteering at age 93!In 1993, Meals on Wheels of

Greater St. Louis incorporated andbecame the umbrella organizationunder which 16 different localprograms operate. It is all-volunteer,with no paid staff, and does notreceive federal or state monies.

Volunteers do client intake, packmeals, deliver them, do bookkeeping,and a variety of other tasks.

Meals on Wheels is a delightfulopportunity to serve, Hellstern said.

Volunteer Extraordinaire Ruth Hellstern rom page 4

Hellstern may be leaving the St. Louisarea, but she has no plans to stop vol-unteering. At right, Hellstern delivers

one of her nal meals as a Meals onWheels volunteer.

by David Baugher When you walk into William Bill

Wilsons apartment, Prince Valiantgreets you at the door, Beetle Bailey isnext to the kitchen and Steve Canyonoccupies a nearby office. Meanwhile,Blondie is in the bathroom and Popeyeis resting in the bedroom.

Its a different art form and verylittle understood, said Wilson, 83, of his extensive cartoon collection. People

just think its a bunch of funny pictures,but they dont understand the artistictalent of these cartoonists drawing anddoing all this.

After a half-century of interest in thetopic, Wilson certainly understands it

well enough and he has the evidence onpaper to prove it. The walls of theKirkwood residents Aberdeen Heightsapartment are populated by some of thebiggest names from the funny papers,from Mutt & Jeff to the Wizard of Id, allhandsomely framed and on display inevery room.

In addition, editorial cartoons arepresent, with drawn panels featuringcaricatured representations of everyonefrom Ronald Reagan to SaddamHussein, all of which once appeared innewspapers such as USA Today, theChicago Tribune and, of course, the St.Louis Post-Dispatch.

Wilson said he has perhaps a coupleof hundred items in his extensive collec-tion, some bought from dealers or gal-leries, but most coming from the cre-

ators themselves. All are original piecesdone by the artists hand.

Any time I can get an original draw-ing, if I like it, Ill try and get it, espe-cially artists I respect and think highlyof their work, he said.

For Wilson, a New Jersey native whocame to the St. Louis area in the late1950s after his service in the Air Force,drawing was an avocation he enjoyedfrom a young age. By 1960, he began toamass a trove of work from some of thegreats.

One of my friends in Washington,D.C., had a huge collection of originalartwork, cartoons, editorials, paneldrawings and comic strips, recalled

Wilson. That sort of got me interestedbecause he had them all over his houseand it was just beautiful. I just gotinterested and started collecting when Iwas young and have been doing it eversince.

A bond trader for much of his career,Wilson retired from A.G. Edwards yearsago, but even his time in finance playeda role in his love of cartoons. There areonly two framed originals by Wilsonhimself on display. Both are editorialcartoons he drew regarding the world of finance.

Heres one I did for one of the New York trade papers, he said, indicating asketch in his office.

Of course, sometimes his careerwould allow for opportunities to acquireartwork as well. Wilsons approach wassurprisingly simple.

When I was in New York on busi-ness, a lot of times, after Id finish mycalls, Id call an artist whose work Iadmired, get to know him, maybe havelunch with him and ask him for a draw-ing, said the grandfather of four.Nowadays, its getting very difficultbecause these guys are selling theirstuff on the market and getting a prettygood price for it so it is hard to get someof these originals from the top guys.

Those conversations allowed him tomeet with everyone from PeanutsCharles Schultz to Pulitzer Prize win-ning St. Louisan Mike Peters of MotherGoose & Grimm.

I dont even mention my collectionexcept occasionally. I just get to know

them, ask them for a drawing and tellthem how Im interested in their work.Would they part with one? he said.Youve got to get to know them and letthem know you are one of them. Thenthey more or less accept you into thecrowd.

Wilson even attends the annual con-vention of the National CartoonistsSociety, of which he is a member.

He said cartoonists share a numberof traits that contribute to their creativeimpulses.

They all have a very specific type of sense of humor, Wilson said. Ivealways found them very friendly andcordial. The ones Ive met have beengreat. Ive struck up some good friend-ships.

One of those friendships was with

Dan Martin, now the artist behind thePosts famous Weatherbird, the longest-running continuously published cartoonin the country.

And, of course, there is a Weatherbirdon Wilsons kitchen wall. EntitledRestaurant in Peace, it commemoratesthe closing of the old Buschs Grove,Wilsons favorite eatery.

Perhaps the most remarkable thingabout Wilsons collection is that so feware aware of it. He rarely speaks about itand only recently showed it to fellowresidents of his apartment complex, anevent brought on when Martin happenedto come by to give a presentation.

Wilson said fellow residents appearedimpressed by the sketches on his walls.

They seemed like they liked it andwere interested with a lot of nice com-

ments, he noted.Though now a resident of Kirkwood,

Wilson lived most of his life in WebsterGroves, a place he likened to his ownbirthplace, Westfield, N.J.

Beautiful place the spitting imageof Webster Groves, he recalled. Thatsprobably one reason I loved getting toWebster. It reminded me of my home-town, which was a wonderful communi-ty.

But, of course, he also has a connec-tion to another community the artisticcommunity.

I sit in here and do all my work andlook at them all. I just enjoy these draw-ings, he said. The more I study them,the more I appreciate the ability of theartists.

I just got interested and started collecting when I was young and have been doing it

ever since, said Bill Wilson of his extensive collection of cartoons.photo by Diana Linsley

For Americans 65 and older, fallingdown can be the worst thing to hap-pen to them, according to statisticsfrom the National Council on Aging:

One in three seniors experiences

a signi cant fall each year Every 18 seconds, a senior is ad -

mitted into an emergency room afterlosing balance and hitting the ground

Every 35 minutes an elderlyperson dies from a fall the leadingcause of death for seniors

Its important for seniors to keepmoving and learning, thats whathelps improve balance and coordina-tion, and even helps build new neuralpathways, according to Karen Peter-son, author of Move With Balance:Healthy Aging Activities for Brainand Body, (www.MoveWithBalance.org).

Peterson suggests a number of ex -

ercises for strength and balance suchas:

The cross-crawl: After variouslight warm-ups, march in place, lift-ing the knees high. At the same time,reach across and touch the lifted kneewith the opposite hand or elbow; al-ternate and keep going. This can bedone sitting, standing or lying down.Once any of these exercises are mas -tered, participants should continue tochallenge themselves, Peterson said.For even greater balance work, and toexercise the vestibular system, closeeyes and count backwards from 100by threes.

Forward toe-touch dancer: Toimprove motor skills, physical coordi-nation and cognition, there are many

dance exercises that are appropriatefor seniors. If needed, use a chair forassistance. Place feet shoulder-widthapart. Now, simultaneously extendleft foot and right arm forward. Keep

left toes pointed down, touching theoor; or for more dif culty, maintainthe toes a few inches off the oor.Repeat this move with left arm andright foot. Hold each pose for severalseconds, and increase holding time.

Sensory integration the arrowchart: Look at an arrow chart and callout the direction indicated by eachindividual symbol. Then, thrust armsin that direction; in other words, sayand do what the arrow indicates. Foran additional challenge, do the oppo-site of what the arrow indicates.

Side-step walk: Walk sidestep -ping bring right foot across theleft and step down three to ve inch -

es away from the left foot, anklescrossed. The closer the feet, the hard-er it is to balance. Alternate crossingthe foot in front and then behind theother foot; repeat several times, thendo the same with opposite feet. As abonus challenge, try a reading exer -cise from a vision card, designed forstimulating the brain/visual system,while sidestepping.

The cat jump: This activity ispracticed in case of a fall; the mus-cle memory of the movement will beetched in an individuals body. Bendknees in a squat. Jump a little off the ground with both feet, and landsoftly, like a cat, without jarring thebody. Repeat until con dent in ab ilityto prevent a spill.
