BY DAVID ANDERSON

ERVICEMEN AND WOMEN, AS well as family and friends, gathered over the holidays at the Missouri Athletic Club for the 28th annual Army vs. Navy Football Game in support for the local chapter of Toys for Tots. The first Army vs.

Navy game was played in 1890, and remains the oldest collegiate rivalry in the nation.

This family-friendly celebration has grown into an invitation-only event, and has been recognized as the largest privately held Marine Corps Toys for Tots Campaign event in the City of St. Louis. Col. Leonard Griggs and Chaplain Eugene Ganz (a Battle of the Bulge veteran) were honored for their lifelong contributions.

The PRESS CLUB OF METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS has announced its 2015 Media Persons of the Year. They are: JENNIFER BLOME (former longtime news anchor of KSDK Newschannel 5), DON MARSH (veteran newsman and host of St. Louis Public Radio’s St. Louis on the Air), and DONALD SUGGS (publisher of The St. Louis American). The National Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to CANDY CROWLEY, longtime chief political correspondent at CNN. The Media Person of the Year gala will be held Thursday, June 11, at Edward Jones Headquarters.

For tickets and other information, visit stlpressclub.org. Event co-chairs are BILL GREENBLATT and LN’s TRISH MUYCOTOBIN. Proceeds from the event will benefit journalism scholarships for deserving students in the St. Louis area.

Encore! Encore! We first told you about Parkway North H.S. student ABBY LAMMERS last year, when she achieved a perfect score on her ACT test. Apparently, she’s done it again: She earned a perfect 2400 on the SAT, which only 0.035 percent of students nationally accomplish.

And it’s an even rarer feat to attain a perfect score on both tests—only a handful of students across the country accomplish this!

Abby, who is now in her senior year, plans to attend Northwestern University in the fall, and will study environmental engineering and economics. She has been active in environmental issues during her middle-school and high-school years.

WORD AROUND TOWN A new series from the NINE NETWORK OF PUBLIC MEDIA explores the latest scientific developments, research, innovations and inventions in St. Louis and around the world. Science Matters airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Each 30-minute episode will feature a locally based science story, as well as pieces produced by other major-market PBS stations. Upcoming shows will feature St. Louis and the 1918 flu epidemic, and the ongoing efforts to save the endangered Ozark hellbender salamander.

CHARLES D’ANGELO

Stick With It!

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

A

T AGE 30, JACK HOLMES SAYS HIS blood was “a toxic mixture of fatty sludge.”

His doctor recommended he work with a weight-loss coach—specifically, Charles D’Angelo. Since starting in April of last year, Holmes has shed 165 pounds; he is now merely 15 pounds shy of his goal weight.

“It’s been a rollercoaster of self-discovery— figuring out why I was eating poorly and the best way to conquer that,” Holmes explains. “Since Charles was once almost 400 pounds, like I was, he really understands why somebody is eating themselves into the grave.”

D’Angelo, who was morbidly obese as a teenager, says he was set up for a lifetime filled with illness and obesity, noting a family history of poor nutrition and substance abuse. He explains, that the proper mindset was the missing piece from his weight-loss struggles. It is that, along with a structured plan, which he now shares with clients. This includes structured exercise, eating

and food plans. “The best idea is to set yourself up so you don’t have to be thinking about it all the time,” he says.

Holmes explains that working with D’Angelo means going all-in—the exercises may change with ability, but you need to be mentally committed from the get-go. D’Angelo concurs, saying it’s about learning to keep an agreement with yourself.

In addition to a focus on healthy eating and self-care, Holmes says that exercise has been incorporated into his schedule six days a week.

“His plan is so regimented—it eliminated, I’m sad, so I’m going to have a brownie; I’m happy, so I’m going to have a brownie,” Holmes explains.

“If you’re happy or sad, you’re not getting your brownie, but you are getting your chicken at 6 o’clock.”

And how does Holmes feel after following this set plan? “I have so much more energy,” he says, mentioning that he used to get sick all of the

time, and has not fallen ill once since he began working on the new plan.

“When you see a person like Jack who has lost nearly 200 pounds in such a short amount of time, it shows there is really no limit to what a person who is truly committed to something can do,” says D’Angelo.

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT

International Photography Hall of Fame

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

HISTORY: The IPHF stemmed from a 1965 project of the Photographic Art and Science Foundation by members of the Professional Photographers of America, then located in Des Plaines, Illinois. Twelve years later, the IPHF opened in Santa Barbara, California, complete with prints and camera equipment to fill the space.

The institution moved to Oklahoma City in 1983, and again to St. Louis in 2013 to its current location in Grand Center.

“At the first board meeting I went to, the question arose: We’re planning to move, where will we move to?” explains executive director John Nagel.

Various locations such as Daytona Beach and Memphis were mentioned. “Since I had taught for 35 years in St. Louis, I suggested St. Louis.”

Upon further research, the IPHF uncovered a deep interest of photography in St. Louis. “St. Louis really has a lot to offer in photography: There are 14 universities with accredited photo programs, the oldest and largest camera club in the country is in St. Louis, there are fabulous collections [at the various museums and libraries]…

Coincidentally, as we evaluated possible locations, we had the opportunity to have a space in Grand Center, which turns out to be the densest cultural neighborhood or district in the country,” Nagel explains. “We couldn’t pass it up.”

Despite its new-in-town status, the IPHF already has received various honors, including a ‘GEMmy’ Award from the Midwest Travel Writers Association, an honor for hidden gems. “We hope to never get that again,” Nagel laughs. “We don’t want to be hidden!”

COMMUNITY IMPACT: This 6,000-squarefoot gallery features some rotating exhibits, as well an expansive permanent collection with thousands of images and a variety of photographic tools. There is an IPHF library, which includes the complete collection of Life Magazine. The organization also publishes its own educational journal.

The IPHF currently has 71 inductees, which run the gamut of photo-related topics from artistic to journalistic to scientific.

As it is now celebrating its golden anniversary, Nagel says IPHF is hoping to add several more inductees this year. Also scheduled for this year are five special exhibitions: St. Louis Architecture: A Proud Heritage, International Photography Collaborative: China, Ferguson and Beyond, Shutter Clique and Photo Next.

The first exhibit on the list, St. Louis Architecture, features interior and exterior shots by 10 local photographers. “This exhibit is designed to cast a positive light on St. Louis after the tragedies that occurred last year,” Nagel says. “We’d like to do a few exhibits that show St. Louis in the very positive light that most of us view it in.”

Special exhibition International Photography Collaborative: China will open March 13—but the work started long before. Nagel explains that IPHF is looking to live up to its name and begin connecting with more international artists; to do so, several St. Louisans traveled halfway around the world to begin an overseas collaboration. In February 2014, IPHF linked-up with one of St. Louis’ sister cities, Nanjing, China.

Photographers traveled there to participate in the Nanjing Federation of the Arts Festival; later this year, 10 photographers from Nanjing will visit St. Louis in return.

ON THE BOARD: ANNA HARRIS Recently elected board president Anna Harris says she has been involved with IPHF for about two years—almost since the group began discussing St. Louis as a possible location. She began as a task force member and later moved on to the board. Now that she is president, Harris says she hopes to draw more attention to IPHF. “We’re in a great area of town—we’re in Grand Center!—I just want us to be more visible.”

Harris says she always has been interested in photography, and is part of a photography women’s group called the Sharp Shooters. Although originally from Farmington, Missouri, she says St. Louis always was her home-away-from-home.

WHAT/WHEN/WHERE: ST. LOUIS ARCHITECTURE: A PROUD HERITAGE OPENING, FRIDAY, FEB. 6, 6 P.M., INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY HALL OF FAME While the exhibit will be available for viewing when the museum opens that morning, the opening reception, complete with wine and cheese, starts at 6 p.m.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED: For more information, call 535-1999 or visit iphf.org.

Other area organizations she is involved with include the American Cancer Society, St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors, the St. Louis Artists’ Guild, the Children’s Home Society of Missouri, University of Missouri – St. Louis’ (UMSL) College of Fine Arts and Communication, the Harris World Ecological Center at UMSL, the St. Louis Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association, the Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing and others.

“I’m just a little part of a wonderful organization,” Harris says of IPHF. “Everybody puts so much effort in, everybody uses their talents to make this a very special place, our staff is terrific...

Everybody works very hard for this organization.”

Medical Research

Leading the Way

By CONNIE MITCHELL

‌W

ith two large research universities located in St. Louis, both with medical schools on campus, our city is known for producing and participating in some of the most important medical studies of the past several decades.

Faculty at Saint Louis University and Washington University are among the world’s leaders in basic biomedical and clinical research. Their work, often done in collaboration with scientists at other institutions around the world, has been crucial in helping develop the knowledge and tools used to prevent, diagnose and treat a wide array of diseases.

“Research conducted by Saint Louis University investigators addresses health problems of national and global significance at untold personal and societal costs. Moreover, recent developments in these research programs raise the promise of breakthroughs in treatment and underscore the importance of science that can translate from the laboratory into the world at-large,” says Dr. Raymond Tait, vice president for research at Saint Louis University.

Washington University is similarly proud of its contributions in the fields of science, engineering and technology, advancing the understanding of schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease, and developing devices to help surgeons see cancer cells and scientists to capture new vistas through the world’s fastest 2-D camera, among other accomplishments.

Following is a roundup of just a few of the city’s medical research highlights. At Saint Louis University, researchers have: ‌• Discovered how to prevent Type-1 diabetes in an animal model, which brings us closer to curing a disease that affects one in 300 people in the United States. There currently is no cure for Type-1 diabetes, and those who have the disease need to take insulin for their entire lives.

• ‌Found an off-switch for pain, a crucial piece of knowledge for the development of new nonaddictive pain killers. They also identified how chemotherapy induced neuropathy, a condition so painful some cancer patients abandon treatments, occurs and identified a drug that might treat it. ‌• Discovered the first potential treatment for fatty liver disease, which has grown with the obesity epidemic; and found new treatments for hepatitis C that effectively cure the disease that strikes 3.2 million people in the United States.

• ‌Continued to work on turning on and off

blood-clotting—a delicate balance because too much clotting causes heart attacks and strokes, and not enough clotting can cause people to bleed to death. ‌• Worked on vaccines that will protect public health. SLU’s Center for Vaccine Development is one of only nine places in the country tapped by the National Institutes of Health to study vaccines against infectious diseases and emerging threats.

Washington University researchers have: •‌Suggested that schizophrenia isn’t a single disease, but a group of eight genetically distinct disorders. The finding could be a first step toward improved diagnosis and treatment for the

debilitating psychiatric illness.

• ‌Developed high-tech glasses that may help surgeons visualize cancer cells, which glow blue when viewed through the eyewear. ‌• Discovered that antidepressants can reduce production of the main ingredient of Alzheimer’s brain plaques. ‌• Showed that lungs have odor receptors that can sense cigarette smoke wafting through the air, perhaps triggering coughs to rid the body of the offending substance.

• ‌Revealed that scratching causes the brain to release serotonin, which intensifies the itch sensation.

ocal college graduates are headed to some of the country’s most-buzzed about businesses, from Facebook and Google to Boeing and Capital One. Career centers at area universities are playing pivotal roles in guiding students toward their dream jobs. And even in today’s competitive employment market, many are lining up positions before or just a few months following graduation. “The economy is better, and students are landing jobs,” notes Kim Reitter, director of career services at Saint Louis University.

According to the Missouri Department of Economic Development, the top five fastest growing fields for those with undergraduate degrees in recent years are: translators; food scientists; information-security analysts; meeting, convention and event planners; and operations research analysts. And based on a Saint Louis University study, today’s employers are looking for a strong work ethic, communication and written skills, critical thinking and decision-making, and teamwork and organizational skills.

At Washington University, about 40 percent of students will go directly to graduate school, medical school or law school, while another 40 percent will enter graduate or professional school within the next five years, says Mark Smith, associate vice-chancellor and director of the Career Center at Washington University. Some students also will go into a transitional program, such as the Peace Corps or Teach for America.

For Washington University students who enter the workforce immediately after graduation, popular fields include consulting, finance, public health and technology. The young professionals are being hired on at companies such as Deloitte, Boeing, Capital One and National Institutes of Health, as well as Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. Some students also are tapping into their entrepreneurial spirit and starting their own businesses, Smith adds.

toward their future careers, Smith says. “The most important thing is to talk to people who are doing things they want to do, and find out what the job entails. Many students don’t know the range of opportunities that are available to them.”

Webster University’s graduates commonly enter the government, health care and finance fields.

The university’s Career Planning & Development Center assists students in matching the degree they love with its associated employment prospects. “We identify what career is best for them, and then determine the degrees they need, as well as the additional experience to enhance that,” explains Marcie Schumert, assistant director of career development.

In recent years, the center has seen students taking a stronger interest in advocating for their own career development, taking advantage of campus resources, and gaining valuable experience while still in college, Schumert says. “Students who take an active role in not just excelling in the

classroom, but also building experience outside the classroom, position themselves well for a successful job search.”

While about 38 percent of Saint Louis University students go to graduate school, the majority will go into industries such as health care, engineering and technology.

To help students reach their career goals, the university offers assistance with job-search plans, LinkedIn profiles, resumes and cover letters, interviewing, networking and finding a mentor. “We always ask students what they are really interested in doing, no matter their major,” Reitter says. “We find out about their favorite classes, skill sets and barriers to finding a successful job.”

Reitter reminds students to start looking for work early, and stay motivated toward their future careers. “Students of any major or any industry can find a job so long as they can gain internship experience, network and remain diligent in their job search.”

According to the Missouri Department of Economic Development, the top five fastest growing fields for those with undergraduate degrees in recent years are: translators; food scientists; information-security analysts; meeting, convention and event planners; and operations research analysts.

Where is St. Louis Headed?

By Lisa Watson

‌ uring the stl250 celebrations, we looked back D on the founding and evolution of the St. Louis region to date. Here, we survey local civic leaders for their thoughts on where St. Louis is headed in the next 250 years...and beyond.

Former Sen. Jean Carnahan “In their wildest dreams, trappers and traders plying the rivers in barges could never have imagined the St. Louis of today. Fending off disease, poverty and hostile attacks, they refused to be helpless victims of the frontier, but pursuers of prosperity and progress.

To their credit, they laid a firm foundation on which to build—one that was grandly evident in 1904, when the world came to the St. Louis fair. The bold vision of businessman David Francis awakened the Midwestern city to its possibilities and left us with a world-class park and a commitment to innovation.

“Today, the region is well-positioned to be a technological, educational, medical and economic center in the coming years—one that will again bring the world to our doorstep.

“While it’s still impossible to predict the future, we know that the Spirit of St. Louis, nurtured by our common values and emboldened by new ideas, will continue to make the region a good place to live, work and raise a family.”

Urban League President and CEO Michael McMillan “My hope for St. Louis in the next 250 years is for us to become a city that is known for diversity, inclusion, excellent schools, a thriving economy, and a place where young people—and people of all ages— want to live, work and raise their families. Following the events of Ferguson and other events around the region, St. Louis is currently seen in a negative way in relationship to diversity, inclusion and police-community relations. We are compelled to change that perception and reality, both locally and nationally, to become the thriving city that we were meant to be. Transforming our region will take significant time, energy and resources, and difficult decisions lie ahead; but we must all join together in that effort to make sure that St. Louis returns to the prominence that it deserves.”

St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger “When I think about where the St. Louis region will be in the next 250 years, I see a community that leads the region on many levels. We have seen myriad successes in St. Louis City and County in the past 250 years, and because this region is home to some of the hardest-working, most innovative people in the country, the future will see St. Louis as a leader in economic development and community building. The businesses of the future will include technology that we cannot even conceive of today; and we will be at the forefront.

“We will learn from the difficult times of discord and unrest, and learn to move forward, together, to become a place where businesses will want to be. This region has fostered growth in some historic companies: Monsanto, Boeing and Anheuser-Busch, and that legacy will continue. When we look back on 2015 in 250 years from now, we will see a vibrant city and county of community, camaraderie and compassion.”

PLAZA ADVISORY GROUP

Continuing Their Commitment

BY BRITTANY NAY

‌W

ITH ONE COMPUTER AND SEVEN employees, three St. Louisans launched Plaza Advisory Group in a 1,000-squarefoot office in Clayton. Thirty years later, the financial firm has grown to 15 employees in a 5,000-square-foot office—overseeing approximately $1 billion in assets.

Founding partners Scott Bensinger, Tom Briggs and Peter Dolan, who formerly worked together for a San Francisco-based financial firm, branched out in 1985 to make their own mark in what was becoming a fee-based financial-planning industry. Partner Judy Rubin also joined the firm in 2011.

“Our focus always has been centered on the clients.

We are independent from banks, insurance companies and brokerage firms, so we have the ability to focus on what’s important to the client and customize what’s best for them,” Dolan explains.

Plaza started working with top-level executives at many of St. Louis’ major corporations who desired integrating their business and personal financial lives. The firm’s advisers, who believe in a balanced approach to creating a portfolio, look at each investment with goals of generating sustained

growth and diversification, as well as providing risk management. “We always have taken a holistic viewpoint of looking at all different areas of a client’s financial life, and looking at how it can be streamlined and work together,” Dolan says. “We’re not focused on selling a product like some of the other firms. It’s really about what the client’s needs are, and then designing a game plan from there that suits their personal goals and objectives.” To further serve clients, Dolan has written The Integrated Investor, outlining the top 10 most important areas in today’s ever-changing financial world.

With its continuity of service and location—the same leadership still helms the Clayton-based business, the firm’s teams of experienced professionals have continued to advise much of the same, small group of clients throughout the past 10 to 30 years—Dolan says, “We have built that trust to solve their financial problems and integrate their goals through research-based, proactive strategies.”

As Plaza looks ahead, Dolan says its team is excited to continue to serve its longstanding clients and their extended families. To stay ahead of the curve, the firm also will continue to add technology

resources and build its group of younger associates for ongoing work with families over multiple generations. Rubin, whose expertise is helping women during life transitions such as divorce or widowhood, is part of the firm’s efforts to broaden its team. “The financial world is ever-changing on a daily basis,” Dolan says, “but what stays the same is our commitment to understand and enhance our clients’ financial lives.”

their senses to discover the world around them. Laurie Kleen began the school in 1975, creating a high-quality educational experience for her son and others.

The school’s classroom is a warm, encouraging place that fosters independence and self worth, inspires curiosity and a lifelong love of learning, develops strong academic skills, instills respect for others, and enjoys a strong sense of community and a high level of parent involvement.

The school day offers a morning session from 9 a.m. to noon, and an afternoon session from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. An early start at 8 a.m. also is available.

‌Some of St. Louis’ most cherished companies are celebrating a milestone anniversary this year. Join LN as we honor these triedand-true local establishments. Cheers!

MCCAUGHEN & BURR FINE ARTS, 175 years As the oldest continuously operating art gallery west of the Mississippi River, McCaughen & Burr has a longstanding history of expanding and enriching the St. Louis art scene. “We have been blessed throughout the years to have managed to keep the gallery in the family,” says owner Scott Kerr. “Our clients, including private collectors, museums and institutions, have welcomed us into their families.”

T h ro u g h t h e yea rs, t h e Webster Groves-based gallery has worked closely with the city’s finest institutions and artists, including notable painters Charles M. Russell, Oscar Berninghaus and Joseph Meeker.

Today, McCaughen & Burr specializes in American and European paintings and prints from the 19th and 20th centuries, with a focus on works by local and regional artists.

Epworth Children & Family Services began as a mission agency of the United Methodist Church, caring for Civil War orphans. Through the decades, it has evolved to meet contemporary needs and include more than a dozen programs. These programs provide essential youth development services that have helped thousands overcome severe emotional and behavioral challenges caused by abuse or neglect.

Epworth’s innovative, holistic and comprehensive treatment approach helps individuals focus on solutions, build on inherent strengths and communicate more effectively. More than 7,500 children, youth and families turn to Epworth each year, and are provided with emergency shelter, residential and intensive treatment, family reunification therapy, transitional and independent living programs, special education, foster family care, prevention services,

drop-in homeless care and a 24-hour help line.

THE SERVICE BUREAU, 85 years Three generations of area families have supported The Service Bureau.

The nonprofit stationery and fine gift shop offers customprinted paper goods, home decor, jewelry and accessories at its signature storefront along Clayton Road in Ladue. The organization also provides dances for kids in sixth through 12th grades, with the younger grades receiving instruction.

Profits from the shop, as well as the dances, benefit local charities through the nonprofit’s foundation, which last year donated more than $82,000 to about 40 organizations, including City Academy and Aim High.

With St. Louis’ help, The Service Bureau continues to grow its shop, dance programs, and in turn, proceeds for local charities, notes executive board VP Maria Clifford. “We have many loyal customers who have gone to the dances as children, and then continued to support the shop in their adulthood by ordering stationery, wedding invitations and baby announcements.”

“We will continue to meet the needs of the community as they arrive,” says Kevin Drollinger, Epworth’s CEO for the last 20 years. “As our research suggested, our new homeless youth drop-in center in Normandy is overflowing because the need is so great.”

Epworth’s therapeutic philosophy builds on individual strengths, increasing the capacity of each person to thrive in society. Epworth will continue to help children, youth and families find strengths, break through obstacles and build brighter futures.

As Bascom plans to retire within a year, she will pass on the torch to manager Tamara Netsch.

“Tamara came on board with us for her first job when she was 15,” Bascom notes. “She now has 16 years of retail experience, and will bring some new and exciting views to Melanie’s.”

MARI DE VILLA, 55 years Generations of local families have called Mari de Villa home.

The senior-living community, founded by Joseph and Georgana Linneman in 1960, became Missouri’s first retirement center. What began as 26 rooms, now exceeds 140 rooms, and spans more than 22 acres in Town & Country.

The current campus offers all levels of senior care, from independent to assisted living, 24-hour skilled nursing, and memory care, as well as on-site amenities ranging from a private clubhouse to chauffeured transportation.

President Fred Wiesehan and his wife Mary Kay, who serves as VP, live on the property to ensure the highest level of service for guests. “What’s most rewarding,” Wiesehan notes, “is the high number of second- and third-generation family members who have become guests after their parents or grandparents were guests here years ago.”

THE RITZ-CARLTON, ST. LOUIS, 25 years Locals and celebrities alike have flocked to The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis for elegant accommodations and exemplary service for a quarter of a century.

Since 1990, the luxury hotel has catered to VIPs with 300 upscale suites boasting private balconies that offer stunning views of the St. Louis skyline, and amenities ranging from gourmet meals to massage services.

Last fall, the storied establishment unveiled a luxurious million-dollar makeover of its ballroom, lobby and pre-function area. To further celebrate its anniversary, the hotel soon will offer a special Silver Anniversary overnight package, as well as a 25th-Anniversary Signature Martini, a special-edition Silver Afternoon Tea, and a 25th Anniversary event set for The Lobby Lounge.

With its award-winning combination of timeless tradition and modern luxury, The RitzCarlton, St. Louis is poised to continue hosting local to national guests for years to come.

window treatments, curtains, shades, shutters and blinds. Peacock Alley bedding and custom bedding also are offered. “We also can help you with all aspects of your design projects, including custom pillows, furniture, rugs, paint selection and wall coverings,” explains owner Ellen Ross.

The Curtain Exchange continues to grow each year, providing design services to luxury condos in Clayton, as well as residents throughout St. Louis and across the country. “What sets us apart from other companies is that we can have custom curtains made in 10 to 14 business days,” Ross notes.

SAVVY SURROUNDING STYLE, 5 years Savvy Surrounding Style’s roots are deeply planted in the St. Louis community. The locally owned-and-operated company offers residential and commercial design services with clients’ style, scope and budget top of mind for every project.

Through working with local residents and businesses, and participating in special events, such as the Table Top Tour, the Holiday Walk and the Ladue News Show House, the design firm has garnered numerous awards.

Owner Diane Fogerty says the community has embraced Savvy’s design philosophy. “The community has used our design consultations to make their home uniquely theirs,” adds Becky Gale, director of operations and accounting. “Our high-end home furnishings always help complete the project.”

OTHER BUSINESSES CELEBRATING A MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR INCLUDE: JA Glynn, 70 years

MELANIE’s, 30 years For 30 years, Melanie’s has proudly served many of the same clients and their families.

The shop’s wide array of affordable statement jewelry and monogrammed accessories has made it a St. Louis favorite for daughters to mothers and grandmothers. “We offer jewelry, accessories and gifts—a good selection at great prices—tailored to our customers’ lifestyles,” says owner Melanie Bascom.

Staff members, who have serviced the shop for seven to 25 years, get to know the customers and what they want, Bascom notes. And those relationships have allowed the business to grow to larger locations

Launching a Small Business

From Startup to Success

S

By Brittany Nay

‌ . Louis is the new hotbed for startups. t Recently recognized as the No. 1 startup city in America

by Popular Mechanics, the Gateway City is brimming with support for entrepreneurs in a host of industries, from manufacturing, energy and technology to health care.

St. Louis is developing an international reputation as a great place to grow a business, says Arch Grants executive director Ginger Imster. “Missouri has the 16th-lowest cost of living in the U.S., and the Midwest has a strong consumer market.

And for St. Louis, we’re centrally located near air, rail, highway and a major port.” These factors, combined with a growing infrastructure of support organizations and affordable office spaces, are igniting a fire under entrepreneurs. “We’ve seen several new accelerators, including Prosper and Yield Lab, which is essential to the stability and growth of our startup community,” Imster says. CIC and T-REX also opened new co-working spaces last year, and the Old Post Office building in St. Charles and Industrious downtown will open this spring for tech startups.

To launch a successful small business in St. Louis, vision, network, capital and a great reputation are essential, Imster notes—and Arch Grants can help. As an accelerator for economic development and community revitalization, the nonprofit provides $50,000 equity-free Continued on page 32

elementary school in the area that provides scholarship support to 100 percent of admitted students. This is possible because of generous individual donors and corporations that believe every child in St. Louis deserves access to high-quality education. The school educates children from 41 zip codes, and 90 percent live in underperforming or unaccredited school districts.

City Academy expects and encourages families to participate fully in their child’s academic experience. It also provides parents access to resources and programming to reinforce good parenting skills and provide educational enrichment experiences beyond the classroom. Because the school runs on the specialist model of teaching, which means each teacher instructs the one subject about which they are most knowledgeable, students learn each subject from experts in that area. Providing a well-rounded curriculum and convenience for parents, the school is open from 7 a.m. to 6 pm. year-round, offering specialized extended-day programming with COCA, Girls on the Run, STAGES St. Louis, local chefs and high-school mentors. City Academy graduates go on to prominent schools throughout the area. In 2015, the school will celebrate its first group of alumni who started their education at City Academy.

The Society of Mary purchased the property for Chaminade College Preparatory School in January 1906, and broke ground three years later for the administration and classroom building. The school is named for William Joseph Chaminade, the founder of what is now the Society of Mary, who was a French priest during the French Revolution. In 1957, the two-story resident hall was completed. Named for Fr. James Canning, a dedicated chaplain, Canning Hall now houses more than 70 international boarding students from 15 countries; and in spring 2010, the world-class Skip Viragh ’59 Center for the Arts opened on the campus.

Since its inception, the school has been educating young men following Fr. Chaminade’s vision, and its program continues to improve each decade.

College readiness skills are fostered through pre-AP curriculum, a block schedule, 1-to-1 laptop program, expanded STEM curriculum, Experiential Education, Global Academy and the area’s largest AP/advanced college credit offering. Chaminade embraces the way boys learn and fosters personal relationships to develop character, academic, athletic and artistic skills.

The Catholic Marianist foundation and unique house system encourage leadership, service and social justice. Chaminade offers more than $1.6 million in need-based tuition grants and academic scholarships to continue making its comprehensive academic program more affordable for its 810 students.

The Marianist spirit still thrives today and Chaminade is a place of compassion where all can feel at home. Chaminade strives to make a difference in the lives of its students by providing an education that goes beyond academics and enables them to live out the school motto, Esto Vir – “Be a Man”.

Location is another crucial component to the success of a business, Boles stresses. “Know who your clients are, where they live and how you are going to reach them.”

Organizations like SCORE can help guide entrepreneurs through the pitfalls, Boles says. “There isn’t a person who isn’t scared. Every person should reach out for help—don’t be bashful about it.”

‌ uttons, doilies, toys and more all come together to create B surreal, one-of-a-kind artwork by Missouri native Nick Cave. Sixteen total pieces by him currently are on display at the Saint Louis Art Museum.

“The response to the exhibition has been tremendous,” says Nichole Bridges, associate curator in-charge of the museum’s Department of the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas. “It’s very accessible to all audiences.” The exhibit, Currents 109: Nick Cave, primarily features Cave’s iconic Soundsuits, which are wearable sculptures named for the noises when worn during performance.

In an interview with PBS, Cave explained how his Soundsuits first started.

“I started thinking about the role of identity, being racially profiled, feeling devalued, ‘less than’, dismissed. And then I happened to be in the park this one particular day and looked down at the ground, and there was a twig. And I thought, Well, that’s discarded, and it’s sort of insignificant. And so I just started then gathering the twigs, and before I knew it, I…had built a sculpture.”

Bridges explains that the pieces on display are hand-sewn and handassembled. “Fashion is an important angle to consider his work, because it’s all about finding these materials and constructing them into three-dimensional, wearable forms.” She notes that Cave and his special projects manager travel to flea markets and antique stores to find the materials seen on the Soundsuits, then bring them back to Chicago to get to work.

“He has always been toying with supposed boundaries of different media— fashion, works on paper, sculpture, performance art,” Bridges explains. “He’s always pushing the boundaries of all of those…in order to create innovative work.”

There still is time to see Cave’s work at the Saint Louis Art Museum; Currents 109: Nick Cave closes on March 8.

More than 19,000 people follow Pulse on Facebook, where the store offers twice-weekly flash sales of the newest trends at deeply discounted prices. Each Sunday night at 8 p.m. and Wednesday night at 9 p.m., the store posts 20 to 30 items that are on sale for 24 hours. Customers can comment with ‘sold’ and their size, and have 12 hours to pay via an invoice sent to their email.

Shipping is even free, says owner Todd Weinhaus, but once the 24 hours are up, the deals are over. “It’s exclusive items at exclusive prices before they hit the store,” he says. “It’s the future.” The store also offers daily deals on Instagram.

Pulse was established nine years ago, when Weinhaus, owner of a successful fashion website, joined forces with his mom, Bunne, who owned Gems and Trends, an accessories store in Brentwood. The mother-and-son team opened Pulse and have been making waves ever since.

The store carries something for everyone from ages 16 to 65, Weinhaus says.

Top brands include Others Follow, Union of Angels and Free People, with apparel from $40 to $200. The store also sells a variety of trendy jewelry and accessories.

Weinhaus says customers appreciate the store’s quality customer service, and its unique way of selling merchandise through social media. Soon, the store will announce its next big idea, which will ‘pay it forward’ with the help of its customers.

Q&A with Susan Boyd of Ara Spa

THINK ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU STEP INTO A NICE, hot shower at the end of a long day. Now, take that feeling of total relaxation, and combine it with the experience of a massage, along with a healthy dose of aromatherapy. That’s a good approximation of the ‘rituals’ offered at Ara, the Spa at Ameristar. We experienced the aptly named Pure Bliss ritual first-hand, and were wowed by the perks—from complimentary valet parking for spa guests, to a slew of amenities that can be enjoyed pre- or post-treatment (think steam room, sauna, hydro-pool and more). Then, we sat down with spa manager Susan Boyd to ask why this luxurious body treatment is so special.

Describe the process used in the Pure Bliss ritual. This is a fivestep bathing ritual, which uses a Vichy shower. We have one of three Vichy showers in St. Louis, and this particular treatment is unique in the St. Louis area. We use Red Flower products, which are based on Japanese ritual bathing. First, we purify with the yuzu mimosa sea algae wash, then scrub with the ohana gingergrass bamboo, polish with wild cherry blossom rice, mist with rose and plum, and hydrate with wild lime silk oil. It’s great for the colder months because it’s very hydrating and pampering, and it smells delightful.

The Japanese believe in washing and cleansing before they bathe, which is why it’s such an extensive process. And the Vichy shower has seven shower heads that are used along your trigger points.

We also offer a Turkish Delight treatment using the Vichy shower, which uses somewhat heavier, Turkish-inspired scents (like mint tea, orange quince, cardamom amber oil and tangerine fig butter cream), and it replaces the buffing step with a clay mask that detoxifies. It’s very popular with our male clients.

Why do the Vichy shower treatments focus on pressure points?

These are the spots where the body might be holding stress, like the back of the neck, the shoulder blades and the lower back. Toxins tend to gather in those areas. Just like massage, it’s therapeutic, and the more often you get the treatment, the fewer stress points you’re likely to have. The treatment also is done with manipulation—we use long, smooth strokes to help move the toxins out.

It’s also important to drink water after either a Vichy shower treatment or a massage to keep those toxins flowing out. People tend to get them when they’re celebrating and then drink cocktails, which inhibits the cleansing process.

Do you have any special services being offered right now?

Throughout February, our seasonal offering is chocolate-covered strawberry bliss, so you can get a body treatment, manicure, pedicure or facial with all the standard techniques, but we also include a chocolate mask. Chocolate is great for the skin because there are plenty of antioxidants, and then you also get chocolate-covered strawberries with that!

MALE BREAST CANCER

Know Your Risks

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

W

ITH ALL THE ATTENTION PAID TO breast cancer prevention and treatment, women are acutely aware of their risk and most know at least someone who has had the disease. Many men may think this is one modern plague that doesn’t affect them much from an individual health standpoint. However, breast cancer is diagnosed in about 2,350 men each year, according to the American Cancer Association.

Many women discover they have breast cancer through diagnostic screening technologies such as mammograms, which can detect tumors in very early and highly treatable stages. Men, on the other hand, do not undergo regular breast cancer screening, so physicians typically diagnose them at a later stage when a palpable mass is noticed.

“It is much less common, although still possible, for breast cancer in a female to be diagnosed by clinical exam only, if that woman has been undergoing regular screening mammograms,” says Dr. Theresa Schwartz, a SLUCare breast surgical oncologist. “In

men, however, breast cancer is always discovered following a work-up of a physical exam abnormality, like a breast mass or nipple discharge or new skin changes.”

That work-up may include imaging, such as ultrasound, and a needle biopsy of the mass.

“Treatments are based on the type of cancer, but men develop the same types of cancer as women,” explains Dr. Patricia Limpert, a breast surgeon at St. Luke’s Hospital and the director of the HighRisk Breast Clinic at St. Luke’s Women’s Centers.

“The treatment and prognosis are the same for both genders based on the type of cancer and the stage diagnosed.”

Women often have a choice between lumpectomy, which removes the tumor while preserving the healthy breast tissue, or mastectomy, which removes all the breast tissue. “Men will require a mastectomy in order to have the entire area of concern resected, since they usually don’t have a significant amount of additional uninvolved breast

tissue outside of the known cancer,” Schwartz says.

Carrying the BRCA gene mutation increases breast cancer risk for both men and women. “Men Continued on page 59

By Jay Delsing, PGA and Champions Tour Golfer For most people, a bad back can be a major pain. For a professional golfer, it can end of a career.

That’s where I found myself back in 2011. I had just turned 50 and begun to compete on the Champions tour when a back injury sidelined me.

Surgery helped. But then I needed to build back my strength. So I began going to the gym a couple of hours a week. Six months later, I was in worse shape than when I started. I was hurting myself all over again.

At this point, I got the sinking feeling that my professional career may be over. That’s when my wife convinced me to try 20 Minutes to Fitness.

Using special equipment and a safe, medically based approach, 20 Minutes to Fitness would get me back in shape, she said. And all it would take was 20 minutes, once a week.

I was at the end of my rope. So I met with Casey Breslin, a physical therapist at 20 Minutes to Fitness’ Chesterfield studio. She told me about 20 Minutes to Par, a special training regimen they offer that focuses on the muscles used in golf.

That was nearly two years ago. I have been training with Casey ever since.

The physical therapy machines at 20 Minutes to Fitness are different from those you find in a regular gym. The slow cadence approach they take is different, too. Did you know you have a coach at your side the entire time to make sure you’re safe and push yourself to your maximum potential? I didn’t either. I cannot imagine working out without a coach ever again. We have coaches helping us on the PGA Tour, so why not with our fitness regime?

The best part is, this 20-minute workout has helped me improve my range of motion, strength and flexibility – all things we lose as we get older. These things, by the way, are incredibly important in golf. Within a year of starting at 20 Minutes to Fitness, I was able to rejoin the Champions tour. Not only did I finish 10th in my first tournament in Quebec City, I have never felt stronger in my life.

20 Minutes to Fitness has given me a whole new outlook. It can do the same for you – no matter what your age, fitness level or interest in golf.

To any of you skeptics out there who say you can’t possibly get fit by working out for only 20 minutes, once a week, I have two things to say: Try it. Your first session is free.

I only wish I had gone in sooner.

Give them a call now.

About the author Two-time All American Jay Delsing attended UCLA on a golf scholarship. After qualifying for the PGA Tour in 1984, he competed professionally for 25 years until a back injury threatened his career. In 2013, he began rebuilding his strength at 20 Minutes to Fitness before returning to the Champions Tour a year later, finishing 10th in the Quebec Championship.

For more information on 20 Minutes to Fitness, call its studios in Clayton (314-863-7836) or Chesterfield (636-536-1504) or Sarasota, Fla., or visit www.20minutestofitness.com.

‘TEXT NECK’

The Hazards of Hunching Over

I

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

F YOU SPEND TOO MUCH TIME GAZING down at your smartphone or tablet, you could be letting yourself in for a literal pain in the neck. And that’s not all. Our modern technologies are causing a number of musculoskeletal issues, especially as a result of poor posture and repetitive movements.

“Some common issues include ‘smartphone thumb,’ ‘text neck,’ and low back pain related to prolonged sitting at a computer,” says Dr. Chi-Tsai Tang, an orthopedic surgeon and specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation with Washington University Physicians. “ ‘Smartphone thumb’ is tendonitis of the wrist and thumb area from repeated use of the thumbs to push buttons. ‘Text neck’ is neck pain related to hunched-over posture while texting. And low back pain is a common complaint from people who sit all day at a desk.” Physicians are even seeing patients with more serious conditions caused by improper posture, such as pinched nerves, or bulging or herniated discs.

Prevention is best, but tell that to a young person whose life is lived largely via selfies and text messages. “If you are unable to break the habit of continuous use of your devices, then make an effort to ensure you sit or stand up straight during use; and if using a handheld device, hold

“IF YOUR NECK STARTS TO HURT WHEN TEXTING, TRY LOOKING UP, PULLING YOUR HEAD BACK, AND TUCKING YOUR CHIN DOWN. THIS IS CALLED A CHIN-TUCK MANEUVER.” DR. CHI-TSAI TANG, orthopedic surgeon and specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation with Washington University Physicians

the device up in front of your face so you can view it without flexing your neck downward,” says Dr. Sean Stoneking, medical director of pain management at SSM St. Joseph Hospital West.

“You should also allow frequent breaks from your device in order to stretch your neck and shoulders to release muscle tension.”

Limiting the flexing of the neck and keeping the shoulders rolled back decreases the weight of the head on the cervical (upper) spine, says Dr. Michael Boedefeld, a pain management specialist at SSM St. Clare Health Center. “Imagine holding a bowling ball out in front of you with your neck muscles,

because that’s exactly what you’re doing when you have bad posture when texting,” Tang adds. “The other thing that can be helpful is sitting in a chair with arm supports. This offloads the weight of your arms pulling on your trapezius muscles and neck.”

Tang suggests a specific movement to help relieve ‘text neck:’ “If your neck starts to hurt when texting, try looking up, pulling your head back, and tucking your chin down. This is called a chin-tuck maneuver and demonstrates the proper way to bend your neck forward. This can also be turned into an exercise to help strengthen the deep neck flexors, which are muscles essential for protecting the neck.” The chin-tuck exercise can be done 10 times in a row and repeated five times a day.

“Patients can typically try heat, ice and basic pain medications, such as anti-inflammatory medications, for pain control,” says Dr. Ramis Gheith, an anesthesiologist and board-certified pain specialist with the Interventional Pain Institute. “However, if neck pain goes beyond three months, it is important for patients to seek treatment with their primary-care doctor who may want to order an X-ray and physical therapy.

Depending on the findings of the X-ray and the outcome of physical therapy, further specialized care with a fellowship-trained interventional pain management physician may be necessary.”

The Full Experience

EARNING HOW TO BUILD A ROBOT, creating a movie using claymation, or visiting a real-life organ transplant firm. Do these sound like your idea of an epic summer adventure? They’re just a few of the options available to youngsters at SummerQuest day camp, which is open to kids entering kindergarten through eighth grade.

Among the camp’s most popular offerings are the Mini Med School, Chemistry Blow Out and Robotics classes, says camp director Doug Verby.

“Last year in Mini Med School, we went on a field trip to a local private transplant firm, and they did a great job looking at the transplantation process and getting to talk to real experts,” he says. “In Chemistry Blow Out, they do a lab lesson every day in class where we’ll have a cool demonstration, and they’ll be given something to accomplish. Some of the activities are similar to what we’re doing in a high-school setting.”

Kids in seventh or eighth grade also can choose new options like Restaurant Possible, where they

can focus on cooking skills to create a whole fivecourse menu; or Wearable Art, where they can knit and crochet items to wear. Kids in grades four through six can enjoy options like Iron Chef; dance, cheerleading and rock band classes; or recreational activities like archery, tennis, bowling, swimming or rock-climbing.

Centered on the campus of Clayton High School, SummerQuest also offers activities at the nearby Center of Clayton and Shaw Park. “It’s a vast campus that allows for a huge variety of experiences,” Verby says. “There are the newly renovated science classrooms at Clayton High School, as well as the culinary arts studio, and the gym space at the Center of Clayton with a rock-climbing wall and tennis courts. It’s a great area for us to do so many activities all at once.”

And kids are offered a flexible schedule, with many options to choose from, and the opportunity to switch if they try a course and decide it’s not a good fit. “It’s a good way to learn something and Continued on page 59

Q&A

with ‌Elizabeth Holekamp, Head of School

What sets Thomas Jefferson School apart?

In a word, engagement. I’ve spent many years in education in different parts of the world, at various levels, at excellent colleges and schools. But in none of those settings have I seen a level of engagement that can compare to what takes place each day in the classrooms, labs, offices, dining hall, dorms and hallways of this school.

It’s simply extraordinary. We have exceptionally bright and interesting people here, adults and students alike.

What would people be surprised to learn about Thomas Jefferson School?

I’m astonished by how many St. Louisans, including natives, aren’t familiar with Thomas Jefferson School. I want the community to understand who we are and what we do. We’ve been home to academic excellence for nearly 70 years. Going forward, the plan is for TJS to be seen, known and appreciated for the remarkable school that it is.

What’s new at Thomas Jefferson School?

We’re currently working on a five-year strategic plan that will bring a number of new features and programs to the school. We’re so fortunate to have highly educated, multi-talented, collaborative faculty, staff and board members who are very good at envisioning possibilities for our 21st-century students, while at the same time, honoring the unique culture of the school. We’ve implemented a new honors designation program, new student educational and service trips, new weekend opportunities for students, and new opportunities for faculty and staff development.

Tangential Thinker

Award Academy

by Debbie Baldwin

‌Yes, ‘tis awards season, which means a lot of extremely talented artists will be recognized by their peers for their outstanding work in their particular milieu. Or, lots of rich, coddled celebrities bribe their way to some sort of muchneeded external validation—however you want to look at it. Either way, not all award shows are the same; some are lighthearted and festive, while others are serious and pretentious. In case you were wondering, here’s a brief guide: The Oscars The Grand Pooh-bah of recognition. It’s the O ly m p i c s o f te l ev i se d awards ceremonies—in that it lasts about 10 days, and Americans often get upset by foreign nationals.

Also known as an Academy Award, the Oscar only is awarded for work in film.

It’s a serious award in a theater-style setting.

Attire is the most formal of all the awards shows.

The Golden Globes To q u o te Mo d e r n Fa m i l y ’s C a m ( E r i c Stonestreet), You win an Oscar, you buy a Golden Globe. These are the always-controversial awards presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for work in film and television.

Guests are seated at tables, and there is a good bit of ‘celebrating,’ often making the speeches all the more entertaining.

The Emmys These are the awards for outstanding work in television.

A n d d e s p i te T V ’s recent renaissance, the Emmys still is Oscar’s bastard stepchild. Nevertheless, the event is a glamo ro u s a f fa i r fo r A-listers.

The SAG Awards These are presented by the Screen Actors Guild for actors exclusively. The award is called

The Actor; and if ever there were a more smug, self-satisfied collection of people in one room, I haven’t seen it. Good times.

Grammys are as much a recognition of great work as a chance for an obscure hopeful to grab a photo op.

The Tonys The neon lights are bright on Broadway. The Tonys recognize work on the Broadway stage. And as one would expect, it’s a highly theatrical, performance-heavy event—and arguably the most entertaining awards show out there.

EGOT The acronym refers to the extremely rare case when someone has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. To date, 12 people have achieved this, winning all four awards competitively (as opposed to an honorary designation). The list includes Marvin Hamlisch, Audrey Hepburn and Sir John Gielgud. Within the coveted designation is an even higher elite—the triple crown— for people who have won their Oscar, Tony and Emmy for a singular (not group) acting performance. Helen Hayes and Rita Moreno are the only two with that honor.

The Grammys The National Academy of Recording Arts and Science awards for achievement in the music industry. As dignified as some of the artists and performances are, the ceremony is known for racy red carpet attire and outrageous behavior. The

There are too many other awards ceremonies to continue to list—every guild, union, country, carnival and newsletter has an award to confer.

It’s our way of saying Thank you! for the magic of performance. And the artists can say You’re welcome! with breathtaking gowns, magical performances—and, if we’re lucky, a wardrobe malfunction, inappropriate speech or red-carpet snafu. Happy awards season to all!

DIV ER SIONS THEATER REVIEW

BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

Safe House

BY MARK BRETZ

STORY: Addison Peddigrew, a man of color, differs from most blacks in rural Kentucky in 1843 in that he is free—kind of. Addison is required to carry a certificate with him at all times that designates him as free and not a runaway slave. A superb cobbler, Addison aspires to open his own shop once his probation for helping a slave escape two years earlier has expired. Currently, he must ply his trade by traveling door to door to the homes of white people, an arduous and restrictive process.

Lucy

Y

He has grand plans not only for himself but also for his brother, Frank, and Aunt Dorcas, even though they bristle at Addison’s heavy-handed approach. Additionally, Addison intends to marry a free woman of color, a neighbor named Clarissa, who does not appear to be mutually attracted to him.

Lucy Scarlett Johansson stars in this existential action flick about a regular girl who is accidentally given a drug that enables use of all her brain capacity. Think Kill Bill meets 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Frank’s desire for something else, combined with the unexpected arrival of an escaped slave, forces Addison to make tough decisions to ward off the local sheriff and a white friend named Bracken, an enforcer of sorts who grew up with Dorcas. Are the sheriff and Bracken decent men who will honor the freedom that Addison has had to earn all over again?

OU MAY WANT TO CATCH UP ON THE EARLY OSCAR favorites—or you may need a break from them with a good car chase or pie fight. In any event, there are lots of options just out on DVD.

The Drop This down-and-dirty mob movie stars James Gandolfini in his final role. And Tom Hardy stars as an unlikely tough guy trying to track down the thugs who robbed his bar.

Gone Girl Ben Affleck stars as a husband being implicated in the bizarre disappearance of his complicated wife.

A Walk Among the Tombstones Despite the title, it’s not a western. Liam Neeson stars in yet another action thriller. This time, he plays a cop-turned-private eye trying to solve a series of bizarre kidnappings.

Love is Strange Alfred Molina and John Lithgow star as a committed couple who must face the issues that accompany their marriage.

JANUARY 30, 2015 {LadueNews.com}

HIGHLIGHTS: Safe House is loosely based on playwright Keith Josef Adkins’ own ancestral roots dating back hundreds of years. A gripping story superbly told, Safe House is a taut, superbly written yarn now being given an exhilarating interpretation by director Melissa Maxwell and a top-notch cast at The Rep’s Studio Theatre.

Daniel Morgan Shelley and Will Cobb, as Addison and Frank respectively, palpably convey Addison’s strong-willed approach and Frank’s bristling to his brother’s condescending ways with beautifully tuned chemistry. The two characters are related by blood, but worlds apart in their thinking and reaction to the unfair lot they’ve been dealt as men of color in a state where slavery is legal.

Kelly Taffe brings her own sense of passion to the role of Dorcas, a woman who has been willing to gamble her freedom in past attempts to nurture runaways along the Underground Railroad to the adjoining free land of Ohio.

Bracken’s role can be difficult to handle with much sympathy, but Michael Sean McGuinness digs deep into his character’s history to show he’s more than a cartoon villain, particularly in an affecting scene near the conclusion.

Raina Houston offers a powerful performance as the stifled Clarissa, and Cassia Thompson completes the cast with a well-etched performance as a belligerent young runaway slave.

Safe House is powerful, compelling and visceral theater at its finest, stirring emotions as effectively as it engenders contemplation.

COMPANY: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis VENUE: Emerson Studio Theatre, Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road DATES: Through Feb. 8 TICKETS: $50-$65; contact 968-4925 or repstl.org RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

Congrats are in order for the folks at Pappy’s Smokehouse. The Midtown BBQ joint has won the award for ‘Tastiest BBQ in North America 2015,’ from the website Chowzter.

BEER PHOTO COURTESY OF URBAN CHESTNUT, SANDWICH PHOTO COURTESY OF PAPPY’S, OLD STANDARD PHOTO BY SARAH CONARD

It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like we’ll be seeing a Guerrilla Street Food brick-and-mortar location this year. Co-owner BRIAN HARDESTY tells us that a lease has been signed on the space at 3024 South Grand Blvd., which formerly housed Sekisui.

In addition, the kitchen also will serve as a commissary for the popular food truck operation. An April opening is anticipated.

The CWE has a new Mexican eatery: El Burro Loco recently opened in the old Pasta House space at 313 North Euclid Ave. Great news for the neighborhood as the place has been empty since 2010.

We’ve been informed that Chef PATRICK CONNOLLY has left Basso at The Cheshire. Word is he’ll spend the next few months in Philadelphia helping a friend with his restaurant, then make his way to Brooklyn to open his own place.

Chef REX HALE, executive chef upstairs at The Restaurant, will extend his role to oversee the kitchen at Basso, as well.

Beer Alert: Urban Chestnut Brewing Company has released Coffee CowTao, a combo of their Milk Stout and cold-brewed Kaldi’s Espresso 700. The new brew is the second in the brewery’s Enlightened Series.

Also on the beer front, 4 Hands Brewing Company recently celebrated its third anniversary; and part of the celebration was the release of The Woodsman, a blend of Imperial oatmeal stout and bourbon-barrel-aged Imperial milk stout. And fans of Public House Brewing Company in St. James soon will be able to find their favorite brew in more places. The brewery has partnered with distributors Major Brands and Grellner Sales and Service to launch statewide distribution next month.

Old Standard Fried Chicken

Fried Fest OLD STANDARD FRIED CHICKEN IS THE latest concept from restaurateur and chef Ben Poremba. Like the name says, the restaurant specializes in fried chicken, accompanied by a slew of Southern-inspired snacks and sides.

We started off our visit with the Biscuits & Breads ($8), a sampler that includes a couple different types of house-made biscuits and cornbreads, with a choice of an assortment of different types of butters and jellies. We chose molasses-pecan butter, lemon-honey butter and some burnt orange marmalade. From the list of Snacks, we ordered the Nathaniel’s Cornmeal Fried Horseradish Pickles ($7), crunchy, surprisingly sweet cucumber pickles ensconced in crispy cornmeal breading, and Mrs. Edna Mae’s Pimento Cheese ($6), available as either a spread or as the main event in a grilled cheese sandwich. We chose the latter option, and it proved to be a fine pick.

The cheese was at once savory and sweet, with a smooth, creamy consistency; and the bread was just lightly grilled.

We could’ve easily spent the evening just grazing through these small plates and been more than satisfied, but at Old Standard chicken is the deal, and we couldn’t leave without some. There are three options for chicken: a la carte, half-chicken and whole chicken. Since we weren’t quite peckish enough to take on a half or whole bird, we ordered a breast ($6) and a couple of legs ($4 ea.) from the a la carte offerings. A three-piece combo of thigh, breast and leg ($12) also is available for those who

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

want a little bit of everything. The chickens Old Standard uses comes from a small company in Indiana, and are raised on a diet free of drugs, hormones and antibiotics. Anyone who thinks the way the birds are raised doesn’t matter need only taste the results here. Both light and dark meat were and juicy and tender, and the batter was consistently crispy throughout—no small feat.

Beverage-wise, Old Standard has opted to focus on whiskies, and they have a pretty solid list of all types, leaning heavily on bourbons. We sipped on a pour of Willet 10-year ($19) while gorging on our chicken. Though small, the cocktail menu includes some lesser-known whiskey-based classics like the Seelbach ($11), a curious combo of bourbon, Cointreau, bitters and Champagne.

Just like its sister restaurants Elaia & Olio just across the street, Old Standard is housed in an older, repurposed building. In the case of Old Standard, it’s a former garage, and much of the industrial elements from its previous incarnation, from the concrete floors to the overhead door, remain intact. These original appointments are augmented with plywood benches and backbar, with accents of chicken wire and corrugated metal.

Be advised, Old Standard continues to be quite the hot ticket among area diners, so be prepared for a wait, especially if you’re dropping in on a weekend evening. Don’t let the wait deter you though, it’s worth it.

with a BRCA1 mutation have around a 1.5-percent lifetime risk of breast cancer development, whereas men with a BRCA2 gene mutation have nearly a 7-percent lifetime risk of breast cancer development,” Schwartz says. “Men with a BRCA gene mutation should discuss these risks with a genetic counselor. In addition, these men are at an increased risk of prostate cancer and pancreatic abnormalities, and potentially other malignancies. A genetic counselor will be able to refer them to the appropriate subspecialists for further surveillance.”

Although the risk remains very small for most men—less than 1 percent of all breast cancers—they should be aware that they are not immune. “With any breast cancer, the earlier the diagnosis, the better the prognosis,” Limpert says. “If you notice any change, don’t be afraid to have it checked out.”

also spend the summer having fun with a bunch of friends,” Verby says, adding, “We’ve got a great staff, including our high school and college-age counselors, and all activities are led by a certified teacher.”

Kids who are entering kindergarten get special attention, with an extra teacher in the classroom, as well as their own separate drop-off area, Verby notes. “It’s a great introduction to school.

This is the first experience that a lot of kids have with the School District of Clayton or their first school-related activity, so it helps bridge that gap from preschool to kindergarten. They get the full experience of SummerQuest, under a little more controlled environment.”

SummerQuest offers three two-week sessions, which run from June 8 through July 17. For busy parents, before- and after-care also are offered from 7 to 9 a.m., and 3:10 to 6 p.m. “Since we’re through the School District of Clayton, we also offer services for special-needs campers, and that’s a really strong and unique part of our program,” Verby says.

Have you decided what adventures to explore this summer? The options are practically endless, and registration is open now.
