Chesterfield Physician Delivers A Recipe For Weight Loss
Dr. Bryan Deloney, Chesterfield, is bringing one of the newest advancements in natural health and healing to local residents. Deloney is helping patients reverse health challenges, such as excess weight, diabetes, sleep apnea, thyroid disorders fibromyalgia and autoimmune issues, using the NutriMost Resonant Frequency Technology (NRF).
NRF technology takes a hormonal fingerprint to determine the exact blueprint a person needs to follow to bring their body into an optimal state of fat burning and health. First, patients undergo a fast, painless scan of their body’s cells by using the comprehensive electro-impedance resonant frequency (NRF) technology. This allows Dr. Deloney to take a “hormonal fingerprint” of every factor that affects weight gain, including fat burning, fat storage, metabolism, the organs involved, hormones, neurotransmitters, vitamins, minerals, metals, toxins, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, candida, parasites and nanobacteria. It gives him the capability of measuring and assisting the body’s innate healing abilities. NRF technology is so advanced and specific it can determine hormone imbalances, organ function weakness, and much more.
Deloney explains, “we determine your personal recipe for healthy weight and healing using resonant frequencies”. When the cells of your body are exposed to “pollen” or “bacteria”, the exposed cells elicit a cellular response. Everything in life has a resonant frequency (vibrational frequency, how the molecules vibrate)…including pollen, bacteria, hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. If your cells are exposed to the resonant frequency of pollen, without the presence of pollen, your cells will have the same response as if they were exposed to the pollen itself.
Everyone Gains Weight Differently Due to Hormones NRF technology can target your hormone imbalances and get to the cause of your weight gain, overcoming weight loss resistance and solving your weight challenges. Using this understanding of resonant frequencies, Dr. Deloney can determine precisely what the body needs to bring it into its optimal fat burning zone and keep it there. This is done by measuring the baseline of each factor being measured (hormone, neurotransmitter, heavy metal, bacteria, virus, organ, etc.), and then the doctor can determine what supplement or formula is needed by observing what the effect of that item is on the baseline (whether it makes it more coherent or less coherent). The program displays the results as a circle with red and green dots around it. From here, it identifies the biomarkers (vitamins, minerals, hormones, neurotransmitters, toxins, microbes, etc.) that are out of range regarding the fat
burning zone. Once the out-of-range fat biomarkers are identified, the program will determine exactly what is needed to bring the biomarkers back into fat burning. It will identify what is needed nutritionally; but more than that, the foundation of the whole program is the ability to determine the exact “recipe” for each person’s fat burning. The program creates a “recipe” for hormones/neurotransmitters, a “recipe” for detox and a “recipe” for the fat burning formula.
Let the Balancing and Healing Begin Once in this balance state and fat burning zone: • You experience no hunger or cravings, unlike other weight loss programs • The typical fat loss is between ½ pound and 2 pounds of fat per day • You will have more energy, better sleep, and you will be in a better mood • Your hormones will become more and more balanced • You will enter a state of autophagy, which helps the body overcome all sorts of health challenges The NutriMost Ultimate Fat Loss System is safe, fast, and effective. You’ll clear out harmful toxins and balance your hormones as you lose fat at an unbelievable pace. Typical results see patients losing 20 – 40 pounds in 40 days. And the best part? The results are permanent. Following your 40 days of fat loss, NutriMost will reset your metabolism and weight set point, so you can keep the weight off for good. This safe, doctor-supervised system works in just 6 weeks, guaranteed.

CONTENTS SOCIETY DO YOU REMEMBER HOW YOU ‘SUMMERED’ AS A CHILD? AS A LITTLE girl, I always looked forward to the summers we would spend on my grandfather’s farm in the province, a plane ride away from Manila. We grand-kids had the entire summer before us, free to do whatever we pleased (under our grandparents’ supervision, of course). For me, this meant an endless array of activities, such as helping to gather fresh eggs in the morning, witnessing the delivery of a litter of piglets, exploring the sugar-cane fields, or taking a ride through the village in a cart pulled by a water buffalo. There was no room for boredom. These days, keeping modern-day kids entertained seems to be a more challenging task. Maybe it’s shorter attention spans, or perhaps it’s the expectation by youngsters (or parents!) that instant gratification can be had through video games or tablets. Maybe Dr. Russell Hyken can help. His latest Parenting column, which begins on p. 61, offers sound advice for parents who want their kids to have a productive summer that they can be excited about...no water buffalo required.

Tell us about your mom. Alan Brainerd My mother was an inspiration of strength to me. She was widowed at age 47, and left with a 13-year-old (me) and a major corporation to run—all while battling cancer. She always accepted every challenge with style and grace. She celebrated the joys and faced the trials with the same positive spirit! She was amazing, and I miss her every day.
7447 Forsyth at Jackson in Clayton
Russell Hyken My mother was a hard-working single mom who did an amazing job raising three independent and compassionate children. These days, she spends time with her grandkids, has a love of pets, and passionately supports ‘no-kill’ animal shelters. Happy Mother’s Day to a wonderful mom!

My mom is brave, strong, kind and my best friend. She’s also the reason I love fashion! Her style and great taste influenced me from the time I was a toddler through my teen years and into adulthood. I have now come to truly appreciate all of our past spats (and triumphs) over clothing choices—all of which have paved the way for what I do. Twitter

Like being on vacation in your own backyard. This classic cottage and Bernoudy guest house have been transformed with today’s attitude in mind. Drive under the porte-cochere and be surprised by the scope of this outstanding property. The 4 bedroom and 3 full bath main house has a formal living room with fireplace, cozy den with vaulted ceiling and fireplace, top-of-the-line eat-in kitchen/hearth room, spacious family room with fireplace, bookcases and French doors open to bluestone terrace, 1st floor laundry and office area. Behind the guest house is a beautiful pool and serene setting.
The elegant, classic, updated home in historic Fullerton’s Westminster Place was designed by celebrated architect William Levy. It includes 4-5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths with 11’ and 12’ ceilings on the first and second floors. The current owners gutted the kitchen and breakfast room as well as neutralized the decor. Two functioning gas fireplaces warm the dining room and library while the additional four enhance the storied home’s decor. A highlight is the grand entry and staircase with magnificent oak paneling, box beam ceilings and wainscoting.

ST. LOUIS CHILDREN’S SPECIALTY CARE CENTER
Committed to Families BY LISA WATSON
I
F YOU MAKE A REGULAR DRIVE DOWN Highway 40 to West County, you might have already seen it taking shape: The St. Louis Children’s Specialty Care Center, a joint venture by St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Washington University, is set to open next month on the northwest corner of Mason Road and Highway 40. The center will be a full-service pediatric outpatient center, says Julie Bruns, director of the Specialty Care Center for St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Among the services to be offered in 141,000-square-foot, three-story center are: outpatient surgery in three operating rooms, radiology, ultrasound and X-rays, chemotherapy transfusions, physical therapy, occupational and speech therapy, and a pharmacy. The wide range of pediatric specialties will include gastroenterology, dermatology, rheumatology, audiology, ophthalmology and others. “Advances in health care mean
more and more services can be delivered in an outpatient setting versus an inpatient setting,” she says. “This allows families to get the services they need more conveniently, without having to drive to the main campus. We can offer all the same outpatient services in a convenient location.” Convenience and efficiency for families is a driving force that led to the new center’s creation, Bruns notes. “If we can make it easier for families who are dealing with something they might not want to deal with to begin with, and make it more convenient, that’s at least something we can do.” The center was designed with kids in mind—including touches like kid-friendly design, colorful artwork, and even a lounge where siblings can play or take a break while a family member is getting treatment. And members of the leadership, including physicians, were involved in the design process, making sure that each element truly

works in a medical setting, she says. “The artistic and structural elements only go so far, though, and it’s really the team we have that seals the deal,” Bruns adds. The center’s staff will be a mix of current St. Louis Children’s Hospital employees and new hires, all of whom will go through the same screening process and training, she says. “We pride ourselves on having wonderful service and commitment to our families at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. We’ll have that times Continued on page 93

HE ST. LOUIS COUNTY NAACP needs the help of the region’s businesses and community members more than ever, says NAACP national board member John Gaskin III. “As everyone has seen what happened in Ferguson, the NAACP was one of the groups on the ground, responding in a very swift and efficient way—and we have a lot more work to do.” To support that mission and continue to eliminate racial discrimination and ensure political, educational, social and economic equal rights for everyone, the local NAACP, led by Gaskin’s grandmother, president Esther Haywood, will hold its 77th annual Freedom Fund Leadership Dinner on June 9 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. The event’s theme, Pursuing Liberty in the Face of Injustice, will aim to continue the movement that began in Ferguson, Gaskin explains. “When I say pursuing liberty, it means pursuing accountability, reform, improvement, economic opportunity and health care—so many things that can make our
community stronger.” Co-chaired by Patrick Sly, executive VP of Emerson Charitable Trust; Kathleen Osborn, executive director of the Regional Business Council; and civil rights attorney Frankie Muse Freeman, the event will feature keynote speaker, U.S. Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, who also will receive the Margaret Bush Wilson Lifetime Achievement Award. The night’s honorees also will include business leaders and community members who have supported the NAACP during—and long before—Ferguson: Thompson Coburn partner Pamela Meanes; Brian Leonard, Ameren’s director of corporate contributions and community initiatives; the Schnuck family; and the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission. “We also will recognize the WYMAN Foundation, which, for 100 years, has been doing phenomenal work with some of our most at-risk students, many of whom are kids of color, with their camps and

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT
Holocaust Museum & Learning Center BY AMANDA DAHL
MUSEUM PHOTO BY SARAH CONARD
M ISSION: It seems unlikely that the world will ever forget the effects of the Holocaust; yet, genocide still exists in modern-day society. The Holocaust Museum and Learning Center (HMLC) firmly believes in the mantra ‘never again’ because of the value behind the message. To truly never see the likes of the Holocaust happen again, we must recognize human devaluation happening around us, so that we may speak out to stop it. Executive director Jean Cavender explains that, through teaching the history and lessons of the Holocaust, the museum “tries to inspire all people to confront hate and discrimination.” This nonprofit organization seeks to strengthen everyone’s resolve to do what is right for the world. HISTORY: “We are one of only 20 Holocaust museums in the United States,” says Cavender. The Jewish Federation of St. Louis united with community leaders and Holocaust survivors to create the HMLC in 1995 through many generous donations. In its 20th year of operation, the museum is housed in 5,000 square feet of space, with a core exhibition that educates and informs guests about the atrocious acts of the Holocaust and life thereafter, with personal accounts from survivors who emigrated to the city of St. Louis. COMMUNITY IMPACT: HMLC sees approximately 35,000 visitors each year, conducting about 500 tours, which are free to the community. “Half-a-million people will have toured by the end of this year,” says Cavender. HMLC connects with the community through programs focused on fostering educational tools. “Teachers see an increased awareness of religious and social injustices in classroom discussions.” The mission—to challenge us to make a difference in the world—is reflected in the museum’s exhibits, including Capturing Hearts and Minds: Images of Nazi Propaganda and Disinformation, which was developed as a companion piece to the Missouri History Museum’s State of Deception:
The Power of Nazi Propaganda exhibit. The messages that swayed the German population in the past offer a prime example of the importance of questioning and analyzing what we hear and see happening around us today. The exhibit’s closing lecture takes place on Sept. 20 at 1:30 p.m. at the Kopolow Building of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis, with professor Jonathan Wiesen of Southern Illinois University as the guest speaker. The permanent Change Begins With Me exhibit encourages students and others to stand up when they see social injustice happening in their community or around the world. This interactive exhibit presents modern-day conflicts, after showing the barbarities that occurred during the Holocaust, to help visitors connect the events and show that the struggle continues today. “Apathy
WHAT/WHEN/WHERE:
ON THE BOARD: KENT HIRSCHFELDER “We have 30,000 students coming through the museum each year,” says Kent Hirschfelder, HMLC board chair. “They learn about diversity, hate crimes, and [the importance of] not being a bystander.” Hirschfelder’s family history drew him to the museum’s worthy cause. His father called Munich home, and during the elder Hirschfelder’s time as a medical student, “saw Hitler march by his house.” Hirschfelder says his father emigrated to America once Jews were forbidden to study in Germany. Hirschfelder has spent considerable time studying the Holocaust, and traveling to significant areas in his efforts to learn more about this dark time in the world’s history. “The war ended 70 years ago, and many survivors are getting up in age,” he says.
“We need to [start focusing on] contemporary issues. We have a lot of new exhibits that talk about genocide, hate crime and diversity, so that we can educate on current issues, as well.” Hirschfelder looks forward to the 20th Anniversary Dinner Gala as “an opportunity to take a look back on the last 20 years; and thank those who have made us who we are, and allowed us to build an institution that 30,000 people want to visit each year.” A veteran in the restaurant business as a commercial real-estate broker, Hirschfelder is involved in a number of local causes, including the Anti-Defamation League and the Jewish Community Center. He earned his bachelor’s in English and his MBA at Washington University.

Must-Have
Line I Love
COCLICO BOOTIE
NOONDAY COLLECTION
I LOVE THE SHOW, Fixer Upper, ON HGTV. CHIP AND JOANNA GAINES are the adorable Waco, Texas, couple who goes into “the worst homes in the best neighborhoods,” and fixes them up beautifully. I love watching how they brilliantly renovate these homes; but secretly, I also love seeing what Joanna is wearing in each episode. Jo-Jo has that cool, laid-back Texas style: She usually is wearing jeans with a simple drapey T-shirt or a fun Bohemian-style blouse and, like the Texas girls she is, always is in boots or booties. The gal must own 40 pairs of boots! I am Coclico “Jory” leather always coveting and admiring them. So, I began my cutout wedge bootie, search for this one particular pair of booties she $415, available at often wears and I found them! They are made by a Neiman Marcus small NYC-based company called Coclico. Its materials are sourced locally in Europe, near the small, family-run factory in Mallorca, Spain, where they are produced. I love the look of Modernism mixed with the traditional European quality. So, while Joanna’s black pair are completely sold-out everywhere (I guess I’m not the only one who admired them), I’ll be grabbing a pair of the nude-colored ones to wear as I transition to my summer wardrobe.
WE ALL LOVE A TRUNK SHOW, but one with a cause like Noonday is pretty special. It started as an adoption fundraiser and has now grown into a business that uses fashion to create meaningful opportunities around the world. “We travel the world to identify artisan entrepreneurs who share our dream of creating meaningful opportunity in vulnerable communities,” says founder Jessica Honegger. “We design jewelry and accessories in collaboration with talented artisans, using unique materials and traditional skills to create beautiful, unique jewelry. We develop artisan businesses through fair trade, empowering them to grow sustainably. By connecting artisan businesses to a growing market for their goods, we enable them to create more jobs for people in their communities who need them.” And not only is it a great cause but the jewelry is great-looking, as well. Designed with a modern sensibility mixed with a laid-back vibe, these pieces are the ones you will want to wear time and time again—especially when you can tell the story behind Noonday.

What’s News in Fashion BY AMANDA DAHL
LIFT FOR LIFE ACADEMY’S CELEBRATING SUCCESS SPRING FASHION SHOW What could lure Guy Trebey, the fashion editor of The New York Times, to judge a local fashion show? Lift for Life Academy is hosting its fifth annual Celebrating Success Spring Fashion Show this Sunday, May 3. From blazers and shorts to jumpsuits and dresses, the students of St. Louis’ first independent charter school are exhibiting their best work from noon to 3 p.m. at The RitzCarlton, St. Louis with proceeds benefiting the academy. Twenty-one students are modeling their creations, and selecting one piece to compete for the chance to have it manufactured by a fashion designer. “The last piece I have to finish is a poodle skirt,” says senior Jayda Harwell. “I’m finishing adding as much tulle as possible underneath the skirt, so that it will be big and bold.” That fashion designer, Laura Kathleen Baker, will feature the winning design as part of her Laura Kathleen collection. A Project Runway alum, Baker launched the fashion program at Lift for Life five years ago. Each consecutive year, students take the skills
they have learned to recycle and upcycle material and invent new fashions. “[I’m inspired by] the unexpected. I love mixing prints and fabrics that you wouldn’t think could go together. Sometimes, a material doesn’t really stand out by itself; but

when it’s paired with another pattern or designed in a unique way, it can really pop. I want to make that happen,” says senior Kionna Collins. For more information on Celebrating Success, visit liftforlifeacademy.org or call 995-7288.

A NEW FASHION BOUTIQUE HITS THE ROAD FOR SCHOLARSHOP The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis introduces the city to a new way of shopping with the creation of Miki’s Closet By ScholarShop. The boutique on wheels offers a bold new take on the local shopping scene, with the goal of bringing upscale apparel and accessories to wherever the party may be. “We want to go where people work, play, and learn. You’ll see us at places of business, festivals and campuses,” says Kim Abel, deputy director at The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, the organization that will benefit from the proceeds of purchases. Miki’s Closet By ScholarShop is named in memory of Miki Zimring, a St. Louis businesswoman and philanthropist, and big supporter of the ScholarShop. “[Miki’s] family wished to memorialize her in a way that spoke to the kind of person she was: very much into fashion and community. Her sense of style really resonated with the people who knew her,” says Abel. The ScholarShop has served the community for more than five decades with two locations that take in quality donations for resale. Profits made are fed back into the community through scholarship opportunities for young

Q&A
with Romi Gospodinova of The Face & The Body Spa & Salon
IKE A THERAPIST OR A HAIR STYLIST, A WOMAN’S MANICURL ist often has a special place in her inner circle. Nail technician Romi Gospodinova certainly feels close to her longtime clients, after 10 years working at The Face & The Body Spa & Salon in Chesterfield. She tells us about the tips she normally saves just for them: How did you get into the salon industry? I was a dental assistant before, and I had a friend who went to beauty school and got into the field. She told me how much she loved it, and I started to go to school part-time. I loved being a dental assistant; but here, I really feel like I’m doing my own work, it’s my creation. I like being able to talk with people and build my own clientele. What colors are hot right now for polish? Spring and summer colors are lighter and brighter, people are tired of the darker winter colors. This year, we’re doing a lot of citrusy colors, lime and also light blue. And people in a higher age group are wearing those nontraditional colors, too. You also don’t have to match your hands and feet—people tend to go for lighter colors on their fingers and bolder colors on their toes.

Are shellac manicures still growing in popularity? Yes, we use OPI gel colors, and people like to use them when they’re going on vacation or a business trip, or if they’re in a wedding party. Brides especially love it because if their schedule is packed, they can get it a few days ahead of the wedding. They know it will really stay without chipping for up to 14 days. What other specialty manicures and pedicures are popular? Our most popular is the spa manicure and pedicure. In the summer, we have a tropical combination with a citrus scrub. Those are our signature services, and people love that they’re very pampering. The spa pedicure includes a massage, exfoliation and paraffin bath, and lasts for a full hour. It’s really good for detail work if you haven’t been religious about pedicures, and it’s wonderful for dry skin. The same goes for the 45-minute spa manicure. It’s really important to us that we dedicate that time to you—that’s your time, and we want you to enjoy the environment we’re creating. What steps should women take to ensure they’ll have healthy, beautiful nails? I recommend coming every one to two weeks for a manicure, depending on how quickly your cuticles develop. You also can use SolarOil cuticle conditioner at home so they don’t get dry. For dry, brittle or peeling nails, use a strengthener like Nail Tek or OPI strengthener, and moisturize on a regular basis. For your feet, I recommend a pedicure every four to six weeks, depending on how quickly you develop calluses. You can follow up at home with a pedicure file, oil and foot cream. Is there anything special you should do to care for your nails if you’re heading to the pool or the beach? Use sun block, and definitely moisturize your heels. People tend to think the sand will exfoliate their feet—yes and no, because the salt and chlorine are both not good for the skin. The heels can get dried out, and you’ll be ready for another pedicure when you get back!

KATIE’S PIZZA AND PASTA OSTERIA
A Recipe for Success BY ROBYN DEXTER
K
ATIE LEE COLLIER GREW UP IN THE restaurant business, working alongside family members at places such as Zoe Pan-Asian Cafe and Cafe Zoe. Her mother taught a study-abroad class in Florence, Italy, through Washington University, and Collier got to go stay with her sometimes in the spring. “That’s where I truly fell in love with Italian food,” she says. When Collier was 25, she started to put a business plan together for what would eventually become Katie’s Pizzeria on Clayton Road. Her goal was to bring unique, artisan-style pizzas to the St. Louis area. Her father backed her project, and the two of them eventually opened Katie’s Pizzeria. Doing just pizza wasn’t enough, however. Collier wanted to bring more authentic Italian food to St. Louis, expanding on the menu to include pasta and other dishes. A year and a half ago, she opened Katie’s Pizza and Pasta Osteria on Manchester Road in Rock Hill with her husband Ted. Her father still owns and operates Katie’s Pizzeria, and she and her father are “best friends,”

Collier says. “We’ve both grown so much. Having our own restaurants is good for us.” Oddly enough, Collier explains that the best feedback she’s ever gotten has been bad feedback. “You have to have that criticism,” she says. “I’m a perfectionist, but you can’t reach that unless people are honest about what’s good and bad.” She learns from every experience and realizes there’s always room to improve. “I think that’s why today we have such great reviews and are so busy,” she says. “I take (criticisms) to heart in a positive way.” But Collier emphasizes the biggest lesson she’s learned in the restaurant business is humility, which applies to all aspects of the business. When she and her father opened the Clayton Road restaurant, she never had any ownership in it, though the concept was hers. “I was young and needed that time to learn about how to run a business,” she recalls. “It made me strong. Nothing was given to me and when nothing’s given to you, you work harder for your goals.” Continued on page 93

WOMEN IN BUSINESS
Beauty is in the Balance Who says women can’t have it all? LN spoke with three local working moms about their business and personal lives—and the art of mastering the work-family balancing act.
NANCY ALBUS
LIZ LITTLE

IKE EACH OF HER IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS, NANCY Albus followed her passion for helping others to the health-care field. More than 12 years ago, the Frontenac native began her career as a therapist for Castlewood Treatment Centers for Eating Disorders. “I was curious about eating disorders because I was raising two girls, and I wanted to get an understanding of the complexity of eating disorders in hopes I could somehow impact my family and others around me to not have to go down that path,” she explains. “So, I took an intro to counseling, and just fell in love with it.” Albus quickly put her business and clinical skills to use as she seized opportunities to take on new roles at Castlewood, serving as a program director and executive director before becoming CEO two years ago. She has helped the treatment centers expand from one location in Ballwin, to opening a residential facility in Monterey, California, and a day treatment center in Birmingham, Alabama, which now annually treat a combined 500 clients. “I love seeing the healing mission come to life and seeing people transform their life,” Albus notes. As a woman who began a career later in life, Albus encourages fellow women to be fearless and open to opportunities. “It’s really true that one door opens another, and you can find yourself in a really different place. I entered Castlewood thinking I would be a therapist; I never thought I would be the CEO today.” Female mentors are another important piece of the puzzle, Albus adds. “It’s challenging balancing families and a career, and continuing education to stay abreast of important issues in your career. Oftentimes, you can’t talk about those things within an organization, so find mentors to really be an ally and a sounding board for what you want to seek clarity on.” 54

ROWING UP IN ST. LOUIS, LIZ LITTLE ALWAYS LOVED architecturally interesting homes and the art of making a deal. So it was a natural fit for the Ladue Horton Watkins High School grad to enter the real-estate field. Since 2012, her Elizabeth Real Estate Group has been bringing buyers and sellers together throughout the city’s central corridor. Little uses more than 20 years of industry experience across St. Louis, which she calls “the biggest small town in the U.S.” “What I love is that each community has a distinct personality. St. Louis is local. We support our local merchants: restaurants, grocers, boutiques and banks. We know each other by name. We have big box and chain stores, but what defines us are our unique townships and the personal relationships that have been built and maintained, sometimes for generations.” When Little is not busy at work, she loves to travel, golf, ski, hike and spend time with her 11-year-old son. As a working mom, she says she knows all too well that you can’t be all things to all people. “We all want to be Superwoman, but leave that for the comics. Take personal time each day for yourself. If you do not take care of yourself first, you cannot effectively take care of your clients, your children and your family.” Little also encourages women to find work they love to do. “If you don’t enjoy what you do, find what makes you happy, then take that passion and create your dream.” In the ever-changing world, she recommends being flexible and adaptable. “And don’t be afraid of making mistakes—they are valuable lessons.”

ULIE SWARD WORKS HARD AND PLAYS HARD—AS A FAMILY CFO for Moneta Group, as well as a mom and a triathlete. The Kansas City native initially moved to St. Louis to be an attorney at a local law firm. But when opportunity in the finance field came knocking, she answered. Sward went on to use her estate-planning skills and tax background to help a wealth management firm. For her next career move, she chose Moneta Group. The well-established, independent financial firm drew her in with its mission of putting clients first through “raving fan” service. As a principal at Moneta Group, Sward helps her clients with investments, tax planning, estate planning, risk management and more. “I love meeting with my clients and really getting to know them well so that I am able to anticipate their financial needs and help take care of them,” she explains. “The hardest—but most rewarding—part is to give them peace of mind through all of life’s trials. Knowing how much we can do for them and their families is what really motivates me.” Sward also advocates for teaching kids the importance of financial responsibility. “There’s only so much you can get in a financial-planning class in high school, so it has to start with parents teaching it to their kids at home from a young age,” she says. “When you give an allowance, talk about how much to save and set goals for that, how much to give and let them pick where to give. And talk about what matters to them in the world—not just charities that matter to mom and dad.” Outside the office, Sward supports the community and her clients’ workplaces and interests through avid volunteer work, as she serves on charitable boards at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, Great Circle and Shakespeare Festival St. Louis, to name a few. And she even makes time to train as a triathlete—she is set to compete in a Half Ironman this summer.

Getting Your Finances In Order BY ROBYN DEXTER
I N A RECENT STUDY CONDUCTED BY BMO HARRIS BANK, RESULTS showed that the vast majority of Missouri women are confident in their ability to manage their finances, should something happen to their spouse. Some of the statistics from the study include 93 percent of women who said they would be able to manage household finances effectively, compared to 88 percent nationally. Seventy-two percent reported they would be able to maintain their current standard of living. Though those statistics are positive, a few more could be improved.
Forty-six percent of Missouri women surveyed reported they don’t have a will, and 58 percent don’t have a living will. Sixty-three percent do not have a power of attorney. Dino Cannella, the head of BMO Private Bank in St. Louis, says the results overall were “not really surprising.” He explains that upcoming generations are very different from today’s older generations, where it was typical for the husband to take care of the finances. “We’re living in different times,” he says. “Many times, finances are a shared responsibility.” One thing that did surprise Cannella was the part of the study about the wills and power of attorney. In this day and age, he says, people are well-positioned to manage their money or find the resources to do so, and having a will in case something happens is important. “You have to make sure there’s a clear understanding of how things have to be done in the family, and make sure there’s an organization that you can trust to carry things forward,” he explains. Ideally, the statistics concerning documents would rise to meet the percentages about women managing household finances, Cannella says. He hopes to see those numbers fall into line in the future.
Madaline Creehan, a wealth adviser with Buckingham Asset Management, encourages women to start early with building a financial plan. “When we work with all clients, we want to take that vulnerable feeling and transition that into a confident approach,” Creehan says. “Setting parameters, retirement dates and other key elements need to be thought about early and acted upon.” When working with female clients, Creehan says she sits down with them to learn about them personally and professionally, helping her assess their risks. “That helps us craft a plan for their future,” she notes. “With estate planning and having a will, oftentimes people are unsure about their needs and how it works.” Creehan explains clients do a walkthrough that takes them through the process of communicating with their families, as well as and help them understand the full intent of documents like a will. She advises women and all clients not to take more risk than they can afford to, and to invest prudently using a passive approach. “Keep your costs down as much as possible, and save as much as you can as early as you can,” she says.

GIRLS WHO CODE
The Cool Club
C
BY BRITTANY NAY
O M PU T E R- G E N E R AT E D artwork. Animated tutorials. Artificial intelligence. These are just some of the projects that students at Ursuline Academy are engaging in through the Girls Who Code club, a local chapter of the national nonprofit, which seeks to inspire, educate and equip girls with the computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities. Launched last fall, Ursuline’s chapter has drawn more than a dozen members interested in computer programming today—and even for their future careers. LN recently spoke with Jaime Gilligan, who moderates the club along with Alex Mooney, to learn more about what’s so cool about coding.
How did the club come about?
What is the focus of the club? We provide a curriculum that works for all different levels—my students are all pretty new to coding this year, so they are on level 1. We work with an online program called Scratch, developed by MIT, that teaches them to think like a programmer. Students who continue next year will go on to level 2, and start programming on their own.
Why is this focus important in this day and age? It’s really great for the students because they start to understand how technology is such a huge part of our lives. One girl who is interested in fashion, but said she can’t do art, is understanding that computer programming could be another avenue to it—through web design or working for a fashion manufacturer.
What are some of the projects the club is working on? They have created computer-generated artwork, animated tutorials, and programmed games and artificial intelligence. It’s been very cool to see how much they could accomplish in such a short time. 58

IT’S REALLY GREAT FOR THE STUDENTS BECAUSE THEY START TO UNDERSTAND HOW TECHNOLOGY IS SUCH A HUGE PART OF OUR LIVES. ONE GIRL WHO IS INTERESTED IN FASHION, BUT SAID SHE CAN’T DO ART, IS UNDERSTANDING THAT COMPUTER PROGRAMMING COULD BE ANOTHER AVENUE TO IT... What kinds of experiences are the students exposed to? It gives them a lot of real world experience. We took a field trip to ShipWorks, and they saw what it would be like to work as a computer programmer for a software company. One freshman even said, I want to work at that office when I graduate. And it sounds like some of the seniors are planning on majoring in engineering in college, and one is going into software design and programming.
What’s next for the club? They are working on the final project of the year. Their challenge from the national club was to work to improve something within their own
community with what they learned through the club this year. Since we are so devoted to service at Ursuline, they came up with an idea to take the paper reporting system digital. So, they are working on Scratch to come up with a framework for how a digital service logging program would work for our community that we are hoping to launch in the next couple of years.
What has the club meant for Ursuline? The club also has influenced Ursuline’s curriculum. Next year, for the first time, students will have the option to take an introduction to computer coding class. Fifty students already are signed up!

I read an article online explaining the need for more women in the science and technology fields, and how programming was trying to close that gender gap. (By 2020, there will be 1.4 million jobs open in computing-related fields, but the U.S. is only on pace to fill 29 percent of them with computer science graduates—with just 3 percent projected to be filled by women.) I thought about my students, and it was like the article was written about them. So, I really wanted to offer this opportunity to them.

Antibiotic Stewardship
T
BY DR. JOSEPH KAHN
ODAY, AS I WRITE THIS ARTICLE, more than 120 Mercy Clinic pediatricians in the St. Louis metro area, southwest Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma will receive ‘Antibiotic Stewardship’ reports. These reports will contain data showing them how their prescriptions for antibiotics compare to their peers, both in their own practices and across Mercy. This is part of a Mercy process to encourage appropriate use of antibiotics. Why is this important? Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. Ear infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, deep skin infections and strep throat are examples of conditions that are appropriate indications for the use of antibiotics. These conditions are diagnosed and treated by a physician or other licensed medical provider who has taken a history and performed a proper physical exam and, when needed, lab testing—strep throat cannot be diagnosed by just looking at the throat. The use of antibiotics is not warranted in viral conditions, such as a cold or cough lasting only a few days. If your child has a runny nose with green drainage and it lasts only a few days—unless it worsens or is associated with a fever—it is not an indication for antibiotics. Our bodies will recover from routine viral infections when the illness has run a complete course. It’s important to remember that antibiotics given for a virus can create a resistance to that antibiotic. Antibiotic resistance has become a persistent problem. Many bacteria are resistant to antibiotics and some ’superbugs’ aren’t responsive to any antibiotics, leading to significant morbidity and some deaths. Here are several things all of us—as patients, parents and providers of health care—can do to help prevent the overuse, and thus, formation, of resistant organisms to antibiotics: • Avoid asking health-care providers to call in a prescription for antibiotics over the phone. • When prescribed an antibiotic, use and take the medication for the full course of treatment; don’t save a few pills for next time. • Do not expect or demand an antibiotic and don’t pressure your physician into prescribing one unnecessarily. As parents, we can help by having our children wash their hands often, and cover that cough and sneeze with the crook of the arm—not the hand. It should be a common practice to keep kids home from school when they have a fever. Some illnesses and antibiotic prescriptions can
be prevented through the use of routine vaccines. Remember that unneeded antibiotics can be harmful, not only to your child but the community as a whole. Always ask your health-care provider about treatment options and the best
way to handle your illness. I’d like to thank my colleague, Dr. George Rezabek from Mercy Clinic Pediatrics-Fenton, for his contributions to this article and for his excellent care for two of my grandchildren.

the experienced parents, to make sure our kids are engaged in productive endeavors. Camp, of course, is the most obvious and easiest way to keep your energetic offspring involved in a time-consuming summer activity. Younger children will happily attend most any day program. Research your neighborhood options (arts, athletics, academics, etc.), and have your son or daughter choose what interests them most. Sending your child to a sleep-away camp is a more difficult decision. There is no definitive rule about the correct and appropriate age for
an overnight experience. Most kids are, in fact, ready to attend camp long before their parents are ready to send them. Furthermore, readiness is more about attitude than chronological age; camp professionals would generally agree that 9 or 10 years old is a good time to start having your child sleep under the stars. When camp ends is, often, when frustration begins. Finding an appropriate balance between structure and free time can be a struggle for even Continued on page 62

Poor planning often results in an over-scheduled child who is ‘crabby’ or ‘resistant,’ or an under-scheduled child who complains of being bored. This all can be avoided with advanced planning. No matter the age of your children, sit down with them and create a master calendar. Record camp dates, summer travel, and other important life events that are essential to the family’s summer schedule. This process helps kid practice valuable organization skills and also will provide a snapshot of the times that are busy and holes that need to be filled. It is nice to have a big-picture overview so you may better avoid potentially problematic periods. As part of your calendar confab, families also should discuss daily expectations. Parents can create a peaceful home environment by creating sensible guidelines and legitimate limitations. There is no need to argue about screen-time, curfews or sleep schedules when boundaries are clearly stated. Even teenagers will follow reasonable rules. Families bond when they spend leisure time together. Vacations, staycations, or just a big day of fun can create lifelong memories and family traditions. Include your children in the planning process. Younger kids may need guidance, but teens are capable of doing most of the planning work. Provide a budget for recreational activities and meals, but also have your children seek out no-cost activities. Kids will learn the value of a dollar, and that fun can be had for free. Summer also is a good time for some bedroom cleaning. While you may be met with initial moans, most kids will feel really good about their freshly streamlined space after the work is done. Spend a day with your son or daughter disposing of old toys and clothes that don’t fit. When the job is finished, offer to buy something special for your child’s newly organized room. This says you value their work, and it may even motivate them to keep their room clean—at least for a few days. All children struggle with summer boredom. To protect against impulsively poor decision-making, parents need to make sure they have provided good guidance, clear communication, and reminders of expectations. And kids should use these three months to explore interests and take a mental break. Before they know it, the lazy summer days will be replaced by busy school schedules and the stress of having too much homework.

with Ed Maggart, head of school.
What sets The College School apart? We’re all about experiential learning, which is learning through experience. It’s a real trend in independent schools, but we’ve been doing it for 50 years. It’s what we do every day. What would people be surprised to learn about The College School? First, we have a new campus. We bought 30 acres near Pacific. It’s a beautiful area that has the most pristine streams in the state and a lot of preserved land. We’re building a new state-of-the-art learning center that hopefully will be open next year. Second, our diversity. This year, 25 percent of our applicant pool qualifies as diverse, whether that be in ethnic background, socioeconomic status, etc. We also look at diversity in terms of social justice. It’s the idea of diversity in faculty and student body, along with addressing diversity through social justice in our community. What’s new at The College School? The new Jan Phillips Learning Center. Phillips was the former head of The College School. She was largely responsible for our style of education. It’s going to be very exciting for us and our kids. We also can use the center for faculty workshops and community events. What is your favorite College School tradition? We don’t just stay in our building—we get off campus. Even our youngest students walk to the park and the book store. We go on field trips and do outdoor trips. This spring, the sixth grade is going to Jefferson City to interview senators, the seventh grade leaves school by foot and boards the train to Chicago to do urban studies, our fifth grade is going caving, and our second grade is going camping. Mission: The College School engages children, ages 3 to 14, in joyful, meaningful and creative learning through an adventurous, theme-based, experiential curriculum. Our diverse community works as a partnership, cultivating excellence in academics, character and collaboration, as we prepare our students for lifelong learning, service and citizenship. We are part of a larger community of educators, dedicated to creating new and vital visions of learning and teaching.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Wrist Watch
T
BY CONNIE MITCHELL
HERE ARE 13 BONES IN THE wrist; and our nerves, blood vessels and tendons are threaded through this bony maze, including a narrow passageway known as the carpal tunnel. If the median nerve, which travels through the tunnel into the hand, is compressed, it causes pain, numbness and tingling—the telltale symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Typing used to be blamed as the primary factor in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome, but experts now think this is a somewhat simplistic view. In fact, carpal tunnel syndrome can occur primarily due to uncontrollable genetic and anatomic factors. However, some types of movement and activity can contribute. “Keeping the wrist bent or hyperextended can increase pressure inside the carpal tunnel, and if one types with their wrists bent or hyperextended, this could lead to symptoms,” says Dr. William Feinstein, an orthopedic surgeon with Metropolitan Orthopedics and on staff at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “Heavy gripping, working with vibrating tools or working on an assembly line that requires prolonged or repetitive flexing of the wrists can also cause swelling around the tendons inside the carpal tunnel, and put increased pressure on the median nerve that way,” Feinstein explains. “Trauma to the wrist and even arthritis can cause increased swelling and pressure inside the carpal tunnel. Even fluid retention during pregnancy and other conditions, such as thyroid disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes, can be associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.” In addition, carpal tunnel is more likely to occur in older people. “This is because over time, more people with compression of the nerve will develop symptoms due to that prolonged pressure,” explains Washington University orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Osei. “CTS is also more common in women because, on average, a woman’s wrist is smaller than a man’s, and there is less space for the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. With decreased space, there is a higher chance that there will be too much pressure on the median nerve.” Hand pain or cramping, particularly next to the thumb, often is the first sign of trouble. Tingling or prickling in the fingers also are common symptoms and often worsen at night. “When the symptoms occur predictably with a certain activity, such as, Every time I blow-dry my hair my hand goes numb, or if symptoms begin to bother you at night on a weekly or nightly basis, it’s time to see your doctor,” Osei says.

MAY 1, 2015 {LadueNews.com}
Your primary-care physician will look for evidence of carpal tunnel syndrome through a physical exam and may order nerve conduction studies. “Treatment usually begins with using wrist braces and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Aleve or Motrin,” says Dr. Jennifer Wessels, a family physician at BJC Medical Group-Barnes West Primary Care and
on staff at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital. “Stopping the offending movement, such as typing or video-game use, can improve symptoms. If conservative measures don’t improve the symptoms, steroid injections to the wrist can help. In severe cases, surgery is needed to relieve compression of the median nerve and stop symptoms.”

HEALTHY FEET
Don’t Tiptoe Into Trouble BY CONNIE MITCHELL
W
HO DOESN’T LOVE A BEAUTIFUL PAIR of shoes? Yet fashion often trumps comfort—and foot health. However, you don’t necessarily need to concede to life in unattractive shoes to maintain healthy feet. Individual physiology has some bearing on your ability to tolerate certain types of shoes. “Some people were born to wear fashionable shoes, and some people were not,” says Dr. Michael Horwitz, a podiatrist with Feet for Life Podiatry Centers. People who have bony protuberances, bunions or other foot conditions will find it harder to wear
narrow or high-heeled shoes without discomfort and potentially exacerbating existing problems. “Improper shoe fit for me means improper shoe width and improper depth in the forefoot to accommodate toes,” Horwitz says. “In both of these cases, bony prominences and deformities can be rubbed, which can be very painful.” Dr. Carmina Quiroga with Mid-West Podiatry and Associates notes that many shoe brands now offer style without sacrificing foot health.
“Aerosoles, Ecco, Clarks, Geox, Naturalizer, Born, Naya and Rockport are examples of supportive shoes that will not compromise style,” she says. “In addition to your shoes, inserts can provide the necessary support that the shoe may be missing.” Both Horwitz and Quiroga recommend flats or minimal heels for everyday wear. “Minimalist footwear can be purchased from a minimalist shoe store,” he says. “It’s the best footwear to retain foot strength and fully stretch the Achilles Continued on page 93

Do you have hand weakness after a stroke?
by
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THIS RESEARCH STUDY? - If you have or have had:
- A stroke 6 months ago or longer - Hand weakness
- Some ability to move your arm
- You do NOT need to be able to move your hand
You may benefit from: Thought Based Hand Rehabilitation
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO FOR THIS STUDY? You will come in for two screening visits. We will test your hand movement. We will do an EEG and show you how to use the robotic glove. If the researcher thinks you will be able to use the robotic glove, you will be invited to continue the study. If you continue with the study, treatment lasts for 12 weeks. You will do exercises every day at home for at least an hour with the glove. You will come for a visit every other week to track your progress. After the treatment, you will come in for one last visit.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS STUDY? You will get an additional 12 weeks of rehabilitation therapy. You will use a new rehabilitation tool. You may have better hand movement after this treatment. The researchers do not know how much your hand movement will improve with this treatment. Some people may not have any improvement. You will be paid for your time after study visits. Transportation can be provided at no additional cost.
HOW DO I ENROLL? Contact our occupational therapist, Lauren Souders to find out if you are eligible to participate.

Hand weakness happens a lot after a stroke. Sometimes typical rehabilitation therapy does not improve hand strength and movement after a stroke. Washington University and Neurolutions, Inc. made a robotic rehabilitation tool for stroke patients. The tool has a robotic glove that you wear on your hand and a headset that you wear on your head. The headset picks up your thoughts and sends them to the robotic glove. The robotic glove will open When you think “open” The robotic glove will close when you think “close” Researchers think that connecting thought with real hand movement may help hand strength and movement. This study will help decide if this tool helps with hand strength and movement after stroke.

There are many ways to create a healthy lunch on-the-go, and we asked two local experts for tips. “My basic equation for lunch is a serving of each: whole grain, protein (can be animal or veggie-based), fruit and vegetable,” says Dr. Katie Eliot, assistant professor of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University. “Many portable, make-ahead, tasty lunches can be made from this combo.” Eliot suggests a little planning ahead can make a big difference in the quality of your lunch. “Prepping in advance is an excellent approach to lunch. Thinking about it the night before ensures that you’ll have something ready to grab during the morning rush,” she says. “Or better yet, pick

Make sure to pack in an insulated bag with an ice pack if you do not have access to a refrigerator at work.” Jillian Tedesco, founder and owner of fitflavors, favors homemade chicken or tuna salad as a healthy lunch protein. “These lean meat options are versatile so you’re not limited when creating your meals,” she says. “Hummus can be purchased or made from scratch. Cut up veggie sticks (celery, carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, broccoli and tomatoes) and store them in zipclose bags for quick grab-and-go use.” And vending-machine fare is not the only potentially unhealthy quick lunch. “Some of the scariest lunch options out there are Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones and other frozen food options,” Tedesco says. “The idea of these products sounds appealing, but have you ever actually read the ingredients? There is a laundry list of unpronounceable ingredients your body can’t process efficiently. Everything at fit-flavors is made from scratch fresh with healthy fats, proteins and slow-digesting carbohydrates.

Eating proper foods will keep you full and your blood sugar spikes at bay.” However, Eliot notes that not all prepared foods are bad. “When you’re in a bind and don’t have time to prepare a solid lunch, there are some options in the freezer section of the grocery store,” she says. “Look for frozen meals with vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. It’s always better to make your own food, but everyone gets busy at times. It is better to go for one of these options, rather than heading to the drive-through or skipping lunch altogether.”

ATIE KELLY STARTED TRAVELING YEARS ago and soon developed what she calls an “infectious enthusiasm for adventure.” Her passport has stamps from more than 10 nations, including those in the Far East, Europe and Central America. Kelly plans to add to that collection; but for now, she has settled in St. Louis, where she recently opened Shanti Yoga in Maplewood. “I’ve tried to sneak my yoga practice into every place I’ve visited,” Kelly says. “Sometimes, I’ve taught in remote locations off the beaten path, and some I’ve used as an opportunity to deepen my practice as a student.” Along her journey, Kelly studied in India at Yoga Vidya Gurukul and the Himalayan Iyengar Yoga Center. Yoga isn’t Kelly’s sole interest, however. She earned a bachelor’s degree in sustainable agriculture and business from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, and became a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She’s currently completing an accelerated bachelor’s degree in nursing at the Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College. Running a business while studying and periodically traveling is a challenging balancing act, and Kelly admits that it’s been an eye-opening experience. “I’ve viewed this studio and its subsequent opening as an unexpected turn of events,” she says. “I call it my karma—my duty. It has been an act of selfless service, and I’ve found that when I look at running a business that way, it takes a lot of stress off of my shoulders.” To establish the studio, Kelly crowdfunded her endeavor to cover start-up costs. In line with her interest in sustainability, she furnished the studio with ‘up-cycled’ materials. “It’s still a work in progress,” she adds. “There’s a story behind almost everything at the studio, from our front desk to the brick wall in the back, which was hammered and chiseled out by yours truly. You can feel the energy it took from so many loving hands coming together to create this space.” Kelly also loves the diverse student population Shanti Yoga has attracted. Classes are offered seven days per week and cover an array of yoga styles designed to enhance body and mind. “I always emphasize that anyone can go to any of our classes,” Kelly says. “The important part is to just honor your body. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it. Our teachers are there to guide you in a safe practice held in a nonjudgmental environment.” Kelly and her staff are working to develop a scholarship program that will make classes even more affordable and available to the wider community. Kelly emphasizes her studio’s accessibility to all students of any age and ability. “It’s a place to let your guard down and open up to sharing your gifts with the community around you,” she says. “All of the teachers deliver from the heart, and we aim to make everybody feel welcome. It’s our little family.”

Where Faith and Health Intersect religious antipathy among early leaders in the field, such as Sigmund Freud and B.F. Skinner. Yet there are several good scientifically based reasons to attend to religion and spirituality in practice. For many people, religion and spirituality are key resources that can facilitate their growth. For others, religion and spirituality may be sources of problems that need to be addressed in the service of their health and well-being. Surveys show that people would like to be able to talk about matters of faith in psychological treatment. Health professionals are ethically obliged to be respectful and attentive to the cultural diversity of their clients, and religion and spirituality contribute to our personal and social identities. Finally, emerging research is showing that spiritually integrated approaches to treatment are as effective as other treatments. There is, in short, good scientifically based reason to be more sensitive to religion and spirituality in clinical practice.

Dr. Kenneth Pargament, professor of clinical psychology at Bowling Green State University, has made the connection between religion and health—both physical and mental—his scholarly focus, and he recently shared insights with a local audience. Pargament recently spoke about Suffering, Despair and Resiliency: Spirituality in Troubled Times, as the guest of Care and Counseling, a nonprofit organization that addresses the spiritual, emotional and psychological needs of St. Louisarea individuals. Pargament is the author of two best-selling books: Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy: Understanding and Addressing the Sacred and The Psychology of Religion and Coping: Theory, Research, Practice. When and why did you become interested in the topic of religious beliefs and health? What spurred your interest in this connection? I went into psychology in 1972 because I thought it dealt with the ‘big questions’—why we are here, how we should live our lives, how can we make the world a better place. But the psychology of that time was shaped heavily by behavioral and psychodynamic perspectives that largely overlooked these critical questions or responded to them in pessimistic ways. I found that the religions of the world were grappling with some of the same big questions that I was, though I didn’t agree with all of the religious answers to these questions. I was hooked by the psychology of religion and health when I began to talk to people about the roles religion played in their most critical times, for better or for worse. Their answers were always meaningful and emotionally powerful, and I knew then that our field had a great deal to learn about and learn from religious life—we still do. You’ve studied trauma victims and people who have medical challenges. What are the most notable things you’ve learned about how religion affects the way these individuals cope? I am consistently impressed by the power of religion to affect people in the most critical times of their lives. But religion is a double-edged sword; it has the capacity to help or to hurt. For many people, religion is the single mostvaluable resource in times of medical illness, the place they turn to for solace and support before any 72

other. Yet, for others, religion can be a source of pain, conflict and struggle. Religious and spiritual struggles may center around feelings of abandonment and punishment by God, internal moral conflicts, or tensions with other people about sacred matters. Unless these struggles are resolved, they can lead to declines in physical health and mental health. So based on your studies, what conclusions have you come to regarding the benefit (or lack thereof) of religious practice in times of crises and its aftermath? At its best, religion offers something people can find from no other resource—a way of coming to terms with human finitude and frailty. Our culture takes a very proactive approach to dealing with crises. We try our best to maximize our control, solve problems and enhance the length and quality of our lives. Yet, in spite of our best efforts, the reality is we remain finite, limited people. We can do some things to enhance and extend our lives, but in spite of our efforts, we all will eventually die. The religions of the world provide people with a constructive way of thinking about and coming to terms with these basic existential realities. In the world’s religions, we hear a language that is unfamiliar to most people in medicine and the social sciences; words such as forbearance, acceptance, humility, surrender, letting go, faith, hope, gratitude and forgiveness. This language is of tremendous benefit to people, particularly when they face times of deepest crisis. What does your work suggest about religion’s role in health care? How can this inform the work of health-care providers? For many years, health professionals and psychologists, in particular, steered clear of religion and spirituality in clinical practice. That was perhaps because there was some history of
You have ‘designed and tested a number of spiritually integrated treatments for victims of child sexual abuse, women infected with HIV, people with serious mental illness, and patients with heart disease and cancer.’ What would be an example of this type of treatment? Psychologists are now developing and evaluating a variety of spiritually integrated approaches to treatment, including: forgiveness programs to help divorced people come to terms with bitterness and anger; programs to help survivors of sexual abuse deal with their spiritual struggles; treatments for women with eating disorders that draw on their spiritual resources; and programs that help drug abusers reconnect to their higher selves. These programs are still in their early stages of development, but the preliminary results are promising. When you spoke in St. Louis, what was the most important message you hope people took away from your presentation? I wish I had an easy answer to offer to the terrible problems of suffering we are witnessing and experiencing today. But I don’t. What I do know is that there is a spiritual dimension to suffering—the way we experience it, its causes, and whether we succumb to despair or are transformed by it. We will be unable to address suffering in the world unless we recognize its profoundly spiritual character. But any attempt to understand spirituality has to rest on an appreciation for its richness and complexity. Although we tend to think of spirituality as always positive and healthy, spirituality takes many forms. It can be the source of the greatest of human accomplishments. But it can also make bad matters worse by fostering hatred and divisiveness. How then can we foster the most benevolent of spiritual expressions and discourage the spiritual in its most destructive forms? When we are able to answer that question and put it into practice, I believe we will take a giant step forward toward ameliorating human suffering and despair.

Southern I STORIES Oak Alley Plantation. All exterior shots of Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte were filmed here.
JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP TO NEW Orleans, as part of a tour benefiting Landmarks Association St. Louis. We embarked on an Antebellum plantation tour led by Jefferson Mansell, an acclaimed architectural historian. Pursuing the Great River Road on both sides of the Mississippi, we toured 10 plantations in three days—not for the faint of heart! The homes were beautiful, all with a different flair of decorative and architectural styles. Each home had a history, of course; and by the third or fourth plantation, many of us felt we could give the basic tour, as so much of the information was similarly shared at each home. For your educational interest, I am going to share some truisms, as well as some myths, that are offered on historic home

tours so you will be better-informed when you embark on a plantation tour of your own. Myths: • There is no such thing as a petticoat table. Mirrors are used for reflecting candlelight (the main form of illumination in the 18th and 19th centuries), not for checking your skirts on the way in or out of the home. • Men were not forced to marry a girl if he caught a glimpse of her ankles as she ascended the stairs. Mercy, most of the women wore their dresses off the shoulder, often giving a hint of décolletage, so seeing an ankle really doesn’t entice a man to desire savage love. • Closets are not taxed. That system died out in the 1700s. The reason that there were few closets is the collection of clothing is nothing like women and men have today. Instead, armoires were used, as they were usually of the knockdown variety, and could be transported for travel with the family. Truisms: • Homes were positioned on the property so the breeze coming off the river could flow through the windows in the front and rear of the home. Also, the alley of trees planted from the home to the road helped to create a natural way to cool the breezes down as they flowed to the home. • Catholic families in Louisiana could only own slaves during the mid-19th Century. As a result, their slaves were baptized Catholic. • Sugar cane was the leading crop for this area. From New Orleans up river 200 miles, twothirds of the country’s wealth resided there in the mid-19th century. Continued on page 78

Continued from page 77 • The German people generally inhabited the west side of the Mississippi, referred to as the German coast. • Large olive jars were buried two-thirds below ground, and used as the first refrigeration system to keep food fresh longer. • Spanish moss was boiled to kill the bugs, and then used to fill the mattresses. The filling was changed approximately every six weeks. Each day, the house staff would take a rolling pin and smooth out the bed. • By the time of the Civil War, there were more than 1,500 sugar plantations producing some 200,000 tons of sugar cane annually. • The land of ‘Dixie’ is a reference to the French $10 bill known as ‘dix’. • During this period, the South also claimed the largest Jewish population in the country. So, there you have information that hopefully will help you on your next Southern Plantation home tour. Embrace the architecture and decorative arts of the home, and appreciate those elements for the true beauty they left behind.

PAYNE FAMILY HOMES
New Neighborhood Offers Charm, Sophistication
N
EST L E D A M O NGST T H E trees off Highway I-44 outside of Eureka lies the perfect place to start anew with your family: Pevely Farms. Opening May 16, the neighborhood will feature 56 lots overlooking some of the best views in the region, including West Tyson County Park, Pevely Farms Golf Course and the Meramec River Valley. Payne Family Homes will feature five plans from its Louis Collection of homes. These plans will contain two luxury ranch designs, and two storyand-a-half designs and one two-story design ranging from 2,700 to 4,000 square feet. Linda McCarthy, the sales manager for the properties, calls the neighborhood the essence of charm and sophistication. “It’s absolutely breathtaking,” she says, adding that the location is closer than one might think. “Since it’s only a few minutes from Highway 44, that makes it so accessible. It’s only about 10 minutes west of 270.” McCarthy notes that since the lots are 1 to 4 acres in size, they are able to preserve the trees

instead of clear-cutting them, making the properties perfect for anyone who loves to hike, jog or bike because of the park access. “It’s rare to find something in the mid$500,000s on a full acre of ground,” she says. “Everyone has just been holding their breath waiting for our display (home).” No matter what the homebuyer is looking for in a property, Payne’s minimum setback from the road is 40 feet. But McCarthy says it doesn’t matter if the homeowners choose on a 1-acre lot of a 4-acre lot, because they still get their privacy. The neighborhood is in the Rockwood School District, and is a gated community at both of the two entrances. Pevely Farms offers five different floor plans, which are available on the Payne Family Homes website under the Louis Collection. The plans vary in price range, from approximately $530,000 to $585,000. Each property features a three-car side entry garage, beautiful molding and trim, flawless granite and ceramic tiling in the bathroom and laundry room, along with hardwood in kitchen, foyer and cafe.

McCarthy adds Payne Family Homes is offering a one-year golf package to every new customer who builds a home at Pevely, which includes golf carts, tee time and driving range. “We want everyone to come out and see it,” she says. “Every turn is awe-inspiring. There’s something for everyone at Pevely.”

Hot on the Market
I
BY ROBYN DEXTER
F YOU’RE LOOKING TO BUY A NEW HOME IN THE ST. LOUIS region, look no further. The demand is strong for new houses in the area, and local experts have observed the patterns to meet the needs. Ryan Casserly, chief operating executive for Fischer & Frichtel Custom Homes, says he’s seen a “resurgence” with new home buyers. “Clearly the demand is strong for new homes right now,” he says. “It’s happening at all price points, which is healthy for the market.” In particular, Casserly notes the success of Enclave Bellerive in Creve Coeur. “We started with 14 lots and only have four left,” he says. “That’s only been a few months. It’s really exceeded our expectations.” Casserly sees St. Louis County as a place to find opportunities whenever possible. New home construction in Chesterfield is limited, he notes, but not in St. Charles County. “St. Charles County continues to lead the region in terms of activity,” he says. “That’s at all price points, too.” The St. Louis area is fortunate that it doesn’t feel the effects of the national real-estate trends, which have been slowly recovering over the past few years, Casserly explains. “St. Louis has had a steady rise (in the real estate market),” he says. Some of the popular trends are homeowners wanting the latest technologies, like charging areas for their devices throughout the home, according to Casserly. “People really enjoy customizing their home and putting their own styles into how they live,” he says. “It’s good for all parties involved.” Linda McCarthy, a sales manager at Payne Family Homes, says an area she considers up-and-coming for new home construction is Wildwood. She, like Casserly, says that St. Charles County has “taken off like crazy. We can barely build (houses) fast enough.” One trend McCarthy has seen with new-homes is that homebuyers want an “au naturel” setting, where nature has been left untouched and trees are left standing instead of being clear-cut.“People like their land in a natural state,” she explains. “It’s becoming much more important to new homeowners.” McCarthy agrees that new-home construction is meeting the demand in St. Louis, noting that Payne Family Homes has many parcels of ground under contract or in the zoning process in all counties. “This all started coming back within the last four or five years where the market is noticeably stronger,” she says. “People are able to sell their homes in 30, 60, 90 days at most.” This is how the market is supposed to be, she says, and homeowners aren’t as hesitant to make that leap. “It’s becoming an easier process,” McCarthy says. “Buying a home should be fun.”

Envision to Enhance Your Home
T
BY AMANDA DAHL
HERE REALLY IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. WHETHER IT BE because home is our escape from the daily grind, or because it houses those we treasure the most, the place we call entirely our own is something precious to us. So, spoil your refuge the way it spoils you, with popular home improvements that can make a difference day in and day out. Combine practicality with luxurious features to renovate your home to suite your lifestyle. “People are looking for value,” says Jeff Hochman of Chouteau Building Group. “Value comes with good design. Good design may be a little expensive, but bad design is more expensive.” He notes that St. Louisans seek quality features to enhance their homes because luxe additions are sure to improve their lifestyles and increase the value of the home. “Kitchens and bathrooms seem to be the big thing,” says realtor Jeff Battram, formerly of Bella Homes. “Even in real estate, they say kitchens and bathrooms sell homes.” While kitchens always have been a big selling point for any home, updating it will provide the greatest payback in multiple ways. Outfitting the kitchen with amenities like a salad chiller or plate-warmers, or improving the fridge and freezer, are top-pick items for those seeking to remodel their homes. Perhaps you are looking for something grander to jazz up your living space. For those who already are in love with their neighborhood, and like the architectural style of their residence, an upgrade may come best in the form of additional space. Some desire to double the size of their almost-perfect home with a second floor. Others find ways to incorporate the needs of the future with their current floor plan. “A lot of clients are thinking ahead,” explains Bob Robben of Robben Contracting, Inc. “They don’t want to have to fight the staircases as they get older. A family with a newborn might like to have the nursery put on the same floor as them, or [prep for] if an elderly person is coming to live with them.” Living in St. Louis already has its benefits, though, making renovations easy to imagine and even easier to make happen. “The housing stock here is really incredible. There’s all different styles—from classic to contemporary—that are well-built,” says Hochman. Sprucing up your sanctuary with innovative design features and additional rooms is effortless when you let the professionals create your vision. “Invest in your home for your lifestyle,” says Robben. “Don’t worry about overspending for the market because, if you stay there, the market will catch up to the value of your home. Do what you want, if you can afford to do it. Enjoy your house, your family, and your lifestyle—and don’t worry about the cost.” Regardless of how you choose to pamper your home, remember—being good to it is being good to yourself.

The State of Building Green

BY AMANDA DAHL
S A SO C I ET Y, W E H AV E increasingly become ecoconscious and more aware of the world around us. Our desires now include a focus on impacting the earth in a positive way to make the planet we leave behind better for future generations. Homeowners are able to do all that and more, with green designs for their residence that will not only be less harmful to the environment, but also improve their way of life. “More and more, the younger generations are understanding the importance of leaving a softer footprint,” says Kim Hibbs of Hibbs Homes. “They feel it is the responsible thing to do...to help improve everything for everybody down the road.” The state of building green not only has become more important, but it has become more accessible, making it a necessary step to move forward within architectural design. “We must take a corporate responsibility [to manage our resources well],” explains Dave White of Westport Pools. The way to becoming environmentally progressive in home design is to develop a clearer understanding of the methods utilized to build homes better. “People are becoming way more educated about the cost of home ownership,” says Jeff Bogard of R.E.A. Homes. “People care about homes that cost less to operate, and are starting to understand upfront and life-cycle costs.” Consider improvements that will make a vast difference in your life over a long period of time. Allergy-prone people might put air quality at the top of their list, whereas those who love soaking up the rays at their swimming pool might look for a way to cut down on maintenance through natural cleaning methods. “Swimming pools can be energy hogs, and you use a lot of natural resources—water, electricity—that need to be managed,” explains White. “Sphagnum moss is a natural way of sanitizing the pool, [while] a variable-frequency drive pump will save the most electricity. It only ramps up when it needs to, so [the pump] won’t work as hard when people are using the pool.” Bogard notes, “the green movement all starts with the shell of the home. People focus on the aesthetic quality of the home. The manner in which the home is insulated...is our primary focus.” He suggests the geo-thermal approach for homeowners: Utilizing the temperature of the ground, underground wells and piping take that outside temperature and feeds it into the home, giving an easier starting point for the heatingand-cooling device. “It drastically lowers the monthly utility bills, and includes a tax credit.” Homeowners can make small improvements to their residence with efficient appliances, such as with the Energy Star government-approved label or changing lighting to LED bulbs, which are proven to last for years on end. “I, as a highperformance builder, look at the science behind

building a home,” says Hibbs. “I try to use that science to build better, such as [when determining] where to place windows, so as to prevent the sun from coming in and heating the home. We’re really trying to look...from a scientific standpoint and build upon that.” Whichever way you lean, deciding to improve the performance of your home can directly impact our world. Remember, the green movement really starts with you. {LadueNews.com} May 1, 2015

DIVERSIONS DR. RICHARD LEHMAN
DR. DOES IT ALL BY FRANK CUSUMANO
W
HEN YOU THINK OF THE ST. LOUIS Sports Hall of Fame, you think of names like Ozzie Smith, Bernie Federko and Ed Macauley. And when you think of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, the likes of Stan Musial, Bill Bradley and Steve Stipanovich come to mind. The common denominator of all almost all of these Hall-of-Famers is achievement on the field, court or ice. Dr. Richard Lehman has achieved it all, but he’s not in these halls for his athleticism—although he was a wonderful tennis player. Rather, this veteran orthopedic surgeon is there for his ability to keep athletes healthy enough so they can perform at an elite level. There are no official stats kept, but Lehman has to be one of the all-time leaders in ACL reconstructions and cartilage surgeries. He has done about 32,000 surgeries in the last 30 years. These days, he usually performs about 20 per week. Lehman may operate on a 40-year-old housewife or a 16-year-old junior varsity basketball player. However, he has worked with some of the biggest names in sports: Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Brett Hull, Wayne Gretzky, Jerome Bettis, Brian Jordan and Dawn Harper, to name a few, all have been under his care. The stars come to him because Lehman has proven he can get you back quicker, faster and stronger. He does everything from stem-cell injections to PRP injections, and everything in-between. Lehman is a doctor who simply likes to stay ahead of the curve. It’s a combination of working six days week, reading about every new surgical idea, and putting into use every state-of-the-art surgical procedure there is. For instance, the ACL surgery is the big one now. Some struggle in recovery because there often is more damage than just the ACL. When Lehman performs the surgery, all of the components of the knee are addressed, allowing more aggressive rehab, normal mechanics and full athletic performance. We recently caught up:
Why was this the right profession for you? I grew up in Miami. I thought I was going to be a professional tennis player. I played in high school and college. I needed to get a job, so I went back to school. Sports medicine was the closest I could get to being a professional tennis player.
What are you most proud of? My three kids: Cameron (25), Alex (23) and Sydney (21). They are really good kids. They are kind. They are respectful. They have compassion. You like being around them. (By the way, all three were or still are great tennis players).
Are you ever still nervous in an operating room? It doesn’t happen often, but there are two times that I still get a little nervous. If it’s a high-profile athlete, and you know you have to be perfect to get that athlete back. I have to be absolutely perfect. The only other time is when I see something I didn’t expect.
What goals do you have left? I have been lucky. One goal is to start a scholarship for high-school kids. We will offer 20 scholarships to high-school kids, based on their grades and (financial) need. The other goal is an internship program. We want to open medical offices around the country, and expose kids to what it’s really like.
FIVE THINGS I THINK: 1. I think the most dangerous thing for athletes nowadays is the send button on their Twitter. They just don’t get it. Do they understand that you really can’t undo the damage? Janoris Jenkins from the Rams embarrassed the organization with his tweet after the Hernandez verdict. 2. It’s tough to feel sorry for somebody in the middle of a $100-million contract, but Adam Wainwright is such a good guy. You have to feel for a guy who is now missing another season. But...
4. There are quite a few SLU-bashers who think there is no way in the world Jayson Tatum ends up there. We’ll see. We’ll see. I am not saying they are the favorite. But the recent Sports Illustrated article gives you hope. 5. When I was growing up, my heroes were almost always sports figures. Now the people I admire the most are the ones who love and respect their wives.

THEATER REVIEW
Once on This Island
COMPANY BY MARK BRETZ
The Black Rep
STORY
VENUE
The gods rule over the Caribbean island nation known as the Jewel of the Antilles (Haiti), a land where dark-skinned peasants are governed by light-skinned aristocrats whose ancestors immigrated from France centuries ago. To calm her, some natives tell a little girl, frightened by a terrible storm, a story about the adventures of a poor native girl named Ti Moune.
Edison Theatre, Washington University, 6445 Forsyth Blvd.
The gods (Asaka, mother of the earth; Agwe, god of water; Erzulie, goddess of love; and Papa Ge, demon of death) preside over the island. One day, they unleash a terrible storm, but save the life of Ti Moune by placing her in a tree. There, she is found and adopted by peasants Mama Euralie and TonTon Julian.
TICKETS
When Ti Moune finds the ruler Armand’s son, Daniel, after a car crash, she makes a deal with Papa Ge to exchange her life for Daniel’s. The young man is nursed back to health by Ti Moune, and then returns home to an arranged marriage with a wealthy young woman named Andrea, even though he loves Ti Moune. Devastated, Ti Moune gives up her life to fulfill her request to Papa Ge, but is then transformed by Asaka into a tree “of life.”
HIGHLIGHTS This magical tale, first performed as a musical in 1990, is full of joy and infectious good times. It’s the type of story that The Black Rep has done well many times before, usually under the guidance of producing director Ron Himes. The troupe’s season-ending production of Once on This Island is an enchanting, mystical excursion into the fantastical and uplifting, accentuated by graceful dancing, spirited singing and a winning way that makes this a joyful exercise. With a musical score heavy in calypso and

The Black Rep’s presentation at Washington University’s Edison Theatre features a truly wondrous lighting design by Sean Savoie that bathes Tim Case’s set in an array of vibrant colors. That set offers some simple but well-conceived structures that represent the modest home of Mama Euralie and TonTon Julian, as well as a gate that separates Daniel’s lavish quarters from the peasant world. Musical director Charles Creath’s tight trio of musicians provides all the melodies needed to propel this light-hearted and effervescent tale; with Creath at the piano, Jeff Anderson on bass, and James Belk Jr. handling a variety of percussion instruments, including drums that deliver a syncopated beat. Himes’ lively chorus of dancers moves gracefully to the appealing choreography designed by Keith Tyrone Williams, which pays homage to the spirit of the Caribbean islands. The players are adorned in a festive display of brightly colored costumes designed by Luqman Salim. Black Rep stalwarts Linda Kennedy and J. Samuel Davis are sure and savvy in the roles of the benevolent Mama
Euralie and the cunning devil Papa Ge, respectively, providing theatrical ballast for younger ensemble players.

Dr. Robert McNichols Jr. lends his booming voice and sturdy frame to the role of the compassionate TonTon Julian; while Gary Vincent contrasts nicely as Daniel’s unsmiling father, as well as Armand, the aristocrat who colonized the island before banished to France by the son he fathered by a peasant mistress. Ashley Ware Jenkins is a strong presence in the role of the grown Ti Moune; Timmy Howard is satisfactory, if not charismatic, as the wealthy Daniel; while young Daryiah Ja’Nnay Ford almost steals the show as the precocious child Ti Moune. Jennifer Kelley, Billy Flood and Scheronda Gregory make for a convincing trio of gods as Asaga, Agwe and Erzulie, respectively; and Olivia Neal plays Daniel’s chosen fiancée, Andrea. Heather Beal, Dominique Fulton and Samantha Lynette Madison portray a trio of festively attired storytellers in the ensemble. A few of the minor characterizations are rather stolid, but that can’t dampen the generally upbeat tempo and good-time songs that permeate Once on This Island. Do yourself a favor and plan a trip to this Caribbean destiny of delight.

Her parents love Ti Moune, but as she gets older, they warn her to stay away from the other side of the island where the grandes hommes reside. Touched by Ti Moune’s desire to know the grandes hommes, Erzulie bets Papa Ge that love is stronger than death.

Some cool restaurant debuts to report: Kingside Diner is now open in the CWE, taking up residence in the old Lester’s Sports Bar digs at 4651 Maryland Ave.; the latest location of The Shack has opened at 731 Lindbergh Blvd. in the former home of The Pig. And coming soon, Weber Grill Restaurant, an upscale casual establishment specializing in steaks, burgers, classic barbecue Weber Grill and seafood—all Restaurant prepared over authentic Weber kettle grills—is scheduled to open this fall at the St. Louis Galleria, where Blackfinn Grille formerly resided. It’ll be the fifth Weber Grill Restaurant in the country, and the second outside of the Chicago area.

Birthday wishes are due to the folks at Crown Valley Winery out of Ste. Genevieve. They’ve officially been around for 12 years. Congrats! Hops fanatics, St. Louis Microfest will be held for the 20th year this weekend on Friday, May 1, and Saturday, May 2, on the Lower Muny Parking Lot and Theater Drive in Forest Park. Proceeds help support Lift for Life Gym. Tickets and info are available at stlmicrofest.org. In other beer news, Schlafly has introduced its new Ibex series of brews. The first beer in the series is Lazy Ballerina, a French-style saison made with chamborcin grapes from Chandler Hill Vineyards, and aged in chambourcin barrels for three months. The beer will be available in limited quantities, and only at the Schlafly Tap Room and the Schlafly Bottleworks. Once they’re gone, that’s it. The St. Louis area was well represented at the 15th annual 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition held last month. Pinckney Bend took home gold medals both for its corn whiskey finished in a sherry cask and its cask-finished gin. And a trio of other area producers were awarded bronze medals for their wares: Defiant Spirits won for its Defiance High Rye bourbon whiskey; Rebel Yell, a honey whiskey locally blended by Luxco, was so honored, as was Lion’s Tooth dandelion liqueur.
Cooper’s Hawk
Wine and Dine
BY SIDNEY LEWIS
COOPER’S HAWK BEGAN IN A SUBURB OF Chicago and now has locations across the country. The company sources West Coast grapes that are then delivered to the winery facility in Chicago for production, then sent out to its various outposts. While each restaurant is set up with similar dining rooms, bar, wine-tasting area and a retail store, each strives to achieve its own particular ambience. The Town & Country location goes for a combination of sleekly modern with some natural elements like rough stone for contrast, and plenty of glass for a wide-open feel. Since wine is one of the main draws at Cooper’s Hawk, we had to imbibe, and opted for the Create Your Own wine flight ($16), which featured a blanc de blanc, unoaked chardonnay, barbera and a Bourdeax reserve. Sparkling, White, Red and Lux flight options also are available. The barbera was the standout here, dry with mild tannins, and the right balance of minerality and fruit. Our exploration of the food menu began with the Thai Lettuce Wraps ($12). Chunks of chiliglazed chicken, crunchy veggies, crisp strips of wonton with lettuce leaves for wrapping and a trio of sauces: peanut, cashew and soy caramel. Simple and solid, this app is a good segue to all manner of main events. Be advised, the Cooper’s Hawk menu is expansive—enormous, really, and chock-full of choices from flatbread to burgers to salads to larger entreesized dishes. It takes a while to read through everything, but there’s literally something for every taste, so take your time and peruse. There’s
even a Life Balance list, which highlights dishes with less than 600 calories. First up for us was one of the designated signature dishes, the Cooper’s Hawk Chicken Giardiniera ($17). Picture two large pieces of breaded chicken, topped with shaved Parmesan, kind of a stripped-down version of chicken parm sans red sauce and pasta. Alongside, Mary’s Potatoes, creamy and whipped up with plenty of butter and cream—another simple dish that adds up to much more than the sum of its parts. In addition to dreaming up their own wine flights, Cooper’s Hawk allows guests to come up with custom culinary match-ups, as well, like the Choose Your Own Surf & Turf option. Our choices were the soy ginger salmon and two Parmesancrusted filet medallions ($29). This selection came with some roasted veggies and a serving of the aforementioned Mary’s Potatoes. The sweet glaze on the salmon contrasted quite nicely with the savory filets. In an attempt to keep things (relatively) light, we finished up with a trio of chocolates and truffles ($7; also available paired with wine for $13). Cooper’s Hawk also offers a wine club, hosts private events, and has a happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. Looking for a wide variety of vino and plenty of culinary choices? Cooper’s Hawk should be on your list.

SPECIALTY CARE continued from page 24 10 at the new center. We want to make this a very special place and deliver outstanding care with great service and compassion to our families.” Child Life Services (staffers devoted specifically to making kids feel comfortable during treatment) also will play a big role in helping the doctors and nurses provide the best treatment possible, Bruns says. “There’s a lot of research that shows that kind of therapy helps kids in their recovery time and how well they do in their procedures, so that’s a very important element for us.”

feet continued from page 66 tendon. They should be worn at least 20 hours a week. What you do to your feet after that is up to you.” There are many shoes and insert options that will help women who are on their feet all day, Quiroga adds. “I would advise going with a smaller heel, staying between 1 to 2 inches, and a wider-width toe box. And don’t wear the same shoes every day: Rotate regularly.” Quiroga also recommends slow, gentle stretches to help keep the feet flexible and reduce risk of injury. Resistance or strengthening exercises can help build muscle in the foot, providing further support and protection. Picking up a pencil or towel with your toes and simple heel lifts are among methods used to strengthen the feet and ankles. “Proper shoes or inserts are very important,” Quiroga says. “If you are having issues with your feet, it could potentially cause issues later. Proper shoes do not have to be orthopedic-style shoes. There are many fashionable options that still provide support and comfort. If you have questions, see a podiatrist.”
In the early days, Collier also learned how to be a leader and manage employees. She notes that though she struggled with that in her early years, she found out how to make the most out of it. “I found out through trial and error how to (manage) and bring out the best in employees and create a loving work environment where people are proud of where they work,” she says.

In the event that a child ever needs a higher level of care than that offered at the Specialty Care Center, connections with St. Louis Children’s Hospital will provide a smooth transition during emergencies, Bruns notes. But for many of the patients, everything they need can be handled under one roof, she says. “What we hope to build as we become established is a place where families can get what they need in one visit. Coordination of care is so important, especially with kids who need to see more than one service or have multiple tests on the same day. It’s better for the patients and families from an efficiency standpoint, but it’s better care, as well.”
patio was just completed and will feature music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. In addition to the new food items, the Colliers also just rolled out a new cocktail menu that features fresh-pressed juices for all the cocktails. “Dining is more than just sitting down and eating,” Collier says. “You eat with your eyes, too. We try to provide a fun, well-rounded atmosphere.” Every fourth Tuesday of the month, Katie’s holds ‘Give Back Tuesdays,’” during which 100 percent of profits are donated to local charities. To date, the eatery has raised more than $21,000, Collier says. “Since we were able to raise money to start Katie’s Pizza and Pasta Osteria, this is our way to give back.”
