EDITOR WITH SPRING’S ARRIVAL AND FLOWERS BLOOMING, SPENDING hours in the sun’s warm rays can be enticing. But don’t forget your sunscreen before you head out the door! May is skin cancer awareness month, so LN regular Connie Mitchell, who spoke with local doctors to find out just how prevalent skin cancer is in today’s society, shares tips for preventing it no matter your age. Skin cancer detection and prevention are crucial in both awareness and the fight, so I urge you to turn to Connie’s feature in The Daily to learn more (p. 50).

Most kids who are interested in a new family pet may ask for a dog or a cat, but more and more frequently, area residents are adding feathered friends to their families. In our Abode section, LN writer Allison Pohle tells the story of The Easy Chicken – a local company that both rents and sells primo poultry. Who doesn’t want a fresh omelet? Check out how you can add some fowl to your fam on p. 28.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Editor’s Corner The word around town

Kirkwood High School students in literature composition language arts the Beverly Hopkins Memorial Poetry Contest, which is organized by the St. Louis Poetry Center and encourages area high school students to submit up to three pieces of verse. The writings of two KHS students were recognized.

Sophomore Megan McGhee won the poetry contest for her poems “Rings” and “Oldest Moon,” and freshman Devon Eldarrat was recognized for her poem “Untitled.”

Four outstanding St. Louis leaders were recently honored at a sold-out event to benefit a local nonprofit that helps women recover from lives of sex trafficking, addiction and violence. The Bravely Awards were established to honor individuals or organizations that have strengthened the area community by bringing attention to social justice issues.

The organization’s inaugural awards went to (from left in photo) Joan Lipkin, the Rev. Traci Blackmon, Christine McDonald and Aisha Sultan. The event raised $10,000, which will provide the women of Bravely with a safe, nurturing community where they are empowered to begin healing from sexual exploitation and complex trauma.

ife might be measured in years, but at Parc Provence, the St. Louis area’s premier memory care community, there are many ways to measure one’s life – and age has very little to do with it.

“You are much more than where you live or the number of candles on your birthday cake,” declares administrator Kathy Aragon, RN, LNHA. “This idea is central to the mission of Parc Provence, which incorporates its residents’ passions and hobbies into an individualized care model that helps seniors to live at their highest potential.”

Parc Provence turns 15 this year. A grand fiesta is in the making to celebrate the community’s residents, as well as the positive impact it has had on the St. Louis area. On Sun., May 5, guests can kick back and enjoy excellent entertainment by Bill Forness & One More Round, a popular Johnny Cash tribute band; jazz songwriter and singer Cheri Evans of Arvell and Company; and Luke Queen, covering songs from the 1960s on.

Guests also get to indulge in divine cuisine, including: shrimp cocktails, arancini, stuffed mushrooms with balsamic glaze, peach and pancetta torts, house-made Champagne liver pâté, asparagus wraps and decadent desserts, including lemon squares, cannoli, mini cheesecakes

and more. The true reason behind the festivities is to honor and promote the leading memory care that Parc Provence provides.

“Medical director Dr. David Carr and associate medical director Dr. Lenise Cummings-Vaughn are leading specialists in Alzheimer’s disease and geriatric medicine at Washington University School of Medicine,” Aragon explains about the community’s premier status.

“Their expertise influences everything we do. The expert staff has completed extensive training in all aspects of dementia and Alzheimer’s care.”

One of the ways in which Parc Provence maintains its high level of care is by grouping residents according to their cognitive level, which promotes socialization and fosters friendships. In addition, the memory care community’s award-winning household design “gives residents a cozy, familiar setting,” Aragon notes. “They form a safe neighborhood with

the kind of extensive programming and quality of care families want for their loved ones.”

Each designated household boasts a living and dining room, an area that is oriented toward having fun and a patio area for residents to appreciate the outdoors. A dedicated staff commits to providing top care in a safe setting. Activities highlight opportunities for residents to pursue passions and explore new interests, from outings and gardening to art and music, plus a happy hour social. The key, Aragon notes, is to integrate residents’ interests in their daily lives.

“As a resident declines, typically more medical care is necessary,” Aragon adds. “A move from assisted living will be necessary or even emergent. Such a move is difficult for residents, especially for those with dementia. Moving into Parc Provence is one move that meets all needs along the way.”

Another way in which Parc Provence rises to the

top is through local ownership by the facility’s original owners, which allows the community to maintain its exceptional service, as evidenced by the connection its staff makes with residents.

“We become a part of [our residents’] lives, and they become a part of ours,” Aragon describes. “We are here for the families as a foundation and a resource while we take the best care of their loved one.”

“Daily, I witness the true humanity of our staff with residents and families,” she adds. “We live in a fast-moving world, so it is amazing to see the special moments in daily interactions. From taking the time to listen, to holding a hand or giving a hug, the staff makes each day a day of joy for our residents and their families.”

St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness

LIVING OUT LOUD GALA Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

W

ith 400 new ovarian cancer diagnoses in Missouri each year, the awareness of the early warning signs remains vital – and just part of what St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness does to increase ovarian cancer survivorship. At this year’s Living Out Loud Gala, friends, guests, survivors and family celebrated the organization’s work and helped to raise funds to aid its mission. For the gala, the William D. Purser, DC Center at Chesterfield’s Logan University was decorated in teal, as guests browsed multiple silent and live auction items, raffle items and more, while enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

As part of the evening’s program, the Volunteer Impact Award went to Beth and Bruce Hudson, and the Teal Spirit Award went to St. Louis Men’s Group Against Cancer.

A number of years ago, seven women pooled their resources by dumping their purses on a kitchen table so that they could create the 501(c)(3) that SLOCA is today. We have almost raised, at this point, $750,000 for research. We started this on the shoulders of many, many women who are not here but are here in our hearts, and I am very blessed to be a survivor, long-term survivor, and I was very, very blessed to be able to be president of SLOCA and to provide some skills that helped them be the organization that they are today.

Founded in 2012 by three-time major League Baseball all-star matt holliday and his wife, Leslee, homers for health, alongside the ssm health cardinal Glennon children’s Foundation, aims to design state-of-the-art health care in familycentered environments at ssm health cardinal Glennon children’s hospital.

Now in its eighth year, thanks to the generosity of thousands of st. Louis cardinals fans from across the nation and even around the world, homers for health has raised more than $5 million.

The donations, directly contributed to ssm health cardinal Glennon, have created and improved new inpatient and outpatient cancer units, a pediatric intensive care unit and an imaging center for the hospital.

Forget about the peanuts and cracker Jacks. The real joy of going to the ballpark is in rooting for the children who will benefit each time a card hits a crowd-pleasing home run! This year, matt carpenter co-chairs homers for health alongside 9-year-old Luke Beck.

Beck, a son of danny and Ronda, is a patient at cardinal Glennon.

The sixth of seven children, he was diagnosed at age 7 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, known commonly as aLL, after bruising of an unknown etiology began appearing on his arms and legs. after enduring a tough start to his three-year treatment with induction chemotherapy, Beck moved into the newly remodeled Leslee and matt holliday wing of the hospital, which offered private bathrooms, bigger patient rooms and a colorful, inspiring interior. The new digs lifted the family’s spirits. “it really made my home away from home a good place to visit and get better,” Beck says.

Watching baseball is a favorite pastime for the young sport and his three brothers. When at home, Beck is out in the backyard, playing catcher, and he can always be found in a cardinals or saint Louis Billikens tee. he, alongside his family, are grateful for the opportunity to raise funds for his fellow patients at cardinal Glennon through homers for health. The current count is 35 home runs for the cardinals, so make your pledge today and make homers matter more this season!

Residence REJUVENATION

By Tanya Yaacoub | Photos supplied by Mosby Building Arts

F

rom pancake breakfasts to movie nights, our homes fill with memories with which we may not wish to part simply because of physical limitations. Whether age or a medical condition is complicating a homeowner’s life, various changes can ensure a family will thrive in a residence well into the “golden years.”

Certified Aging in Place Specialists, or CAPS – a national certified training test for design and installation of universal features in homes – can help generate ideas for making an abode more accessible regardless of physical capabilities.

The first step customarily involves analyzing current residential conditions, assessing the areas that pose navigational challenges today and trying to predict those that will prove problematic tomorrow. Features like wide doorways may seem trivial now, but in 15 years, when mobility becomes an issue, they may prove a godsend.

Modifications can be made to a house’s exterior to maximize convenience. For example, bright lights that illuminate walkways aid visibility when entering and exiting the residence, while decks and patios can be adjusted to incorporate fewer stairs. Modifications also can be made without drastically altering the appearance

MAY 3, 2019 | LadueNews.com

of the house, like ramps and inclined walkways with handrails that can be creatively integrated to look natural and upscale. Updating exterior materials to lower-maintenance elements like vinyl siding, composite decking and easy-to-care-for landscaping makes another good way to keep a residence manageable.

Although a single-level house remains ideal for accessibility-challenged individuals, having a multistory abode doesn’t necessarily warrant a move. Professionals may be able to reconfigure the space for easy mobility.

Smaller projects, such as installing flush thresholds between rooms, can make a significant difference, while larger projects, like relocating the master suite to the first floor, can make everything more accessible.

Another option involves adding an elevator to upper floors. In any of these situations, enlisting help from a CAPS-certified expert remains a smart way to go, as suggested earlier.

The bathroom constitutes another area that can be unsafe if not properly outfitted. Barrier-free showers allow easy access for seniors or people in wheelchairs, while grab bars, slip-resistant flooring and shower seats help prevent falls. Features like lever handles, pedalcontrolled and voice-activated faucets, and toilet tissue

holders that can be changed with one hand reflect small but calculated upgrades.

The preceding presents just a few ways to update a space so it adapts seamlessly to changing needs.

Moreover, it bears emphasizing that these adjustments needn’t look institutional and out of place. Nowadays, more choices than ever before exist when it comes to accessible design products.

A homeowner needn’t sacrifice style and beauty when designing a residence that works well – and continues to do so down through the years.

Tanya Yaacoub grew up with a passion for fabric, which led to her passion for design. As a member of the Mosby Building Arts team, she enjoys working on residential design because she gets to meet new people, help them solve issues or problems they have with their homes – and make those homes more personal to them.

Through ChiCk and Thin

By Allison Pohle | Photos by Sarah Conroy

28 May 3, 2019 | LadueNews.com

The easy ChiCken is giving meTro area residenTs a bird’s-eye view of owning poulTry.

M

any parents are familiar with pleas from children for a brand-new puppy or kitty. But now, an increasing number of families in the metro area are adding a different sort of furry … er … feathery friend to their flocks.

The Easy Chicken is a St. Louis-based company that strives to make owning chickens, well, easy. Families who take part in its services can either rent or purchase chickens, which will provide both eggs and educational experiences for the entire family.

“They’re kind of a gateway animal,” says Seth Jansen, who owns The Easy Chicken with his wife, Maria. “They’re supereasy to take care of compared to other animals and are suitable pets for people in the city or suburbs.”

The idea was hatched when friends of the Jansens moved to a farm in Ste. Genevieve, roughly 65 miles southeast of Ladue. At first, Jansen thought the idea was crazy. But the more the couple learned about their friends’ lifestyle and the more time they spent experiencing it while housesitting for those friends, the more inspired he and his wife became.

“It’s hard to articulate why that became so appealing to me,” he says. “I like being outdoors, and it introduced me to a part of myself I didn’t know a lot about in terms of working and living off the land, gardening, composting and seeing how it all fits together. I didn’t realize how much I like being with animals and taking care of them.”

After seeing how their four sons interacted with chickens on their friends’ farm, the family began to consider how they could incorporate farming elements into their own more urban lifestyle. “We realized we could share with others what we learned about raising backyard chickens and make the experience easy for them – and so, the idea for a business emerged,” Jansen says. The Easy Chicken debuted in 2014 as a one-stop shop for raising chickens.

The basic package starts at $500 for a six-month rental. The company provides two chickens that are each guaranteed to lay four eggs a week during peak laying season, as well as a coop, a feeder and feed.

Families can also pay $125 for a four-week chick rental. The Easy Chicken provides everything families need to care for three chicks, including a brooder, a feeder, a waterer, feed, bedding, a heat lamp and stand – and, of course, the chicks. At the end of the month, families can adopt their chicks.

“Our customers’ favorite offering is the baby chick kit,” Jansen says.

“Chickens are not a hard animal to raise, so you can do it the DIY route. It’s just a matter of how much time you have to research it, make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. We make it supereasy and set you up for success from the beginning.”

The Jansens support their customers through chick and thin, offering a “chicken coaching” service à la carte or as part of their packages, in which families can call or text for support. The Jansen family – which now includes a daughter in addition to the four sons, ranging in age from 3 to 11 – currently has 150 chickens, with 50 chicks currently rented out to customers, and draws on that experience to help answer questions.

“The most common questions are, for baby chicks, ‘How do I hold them [and] can I bring them outside?’” Jansen says. “A couple of the most common questions we receive about hens are ‘How many eggs do they lay [and] are they friendly?’”

Before adopting a chicken, families should check regulations in their municipality. Given that there are more than 90 municipalities in St. Louis County, each with its own rules, The Easy Chicken has compiled a list on its website to better help families prepare for the process.

In Ladue, for example, a permit is required, as well as a chicken shelter and enclosure. Properties must have at least 4,000 square feet of green space depending on the number of chickens, and the maximum number allowed is six, which requires significantly more green space.

When the business began five years ago, the Jansens heard from many people who were focused on urban farming and were passionate about raising chickens for environmental reasons, like harvesting manure for the soil. Now, they have seen more mainstream families come to them.

“Our clients have spread to people who wanted this experience for their children but maybe didn’t have the time to figure it out themselves,” Jansen says. “Families have found them to be easy to take care of and also fun for the whole family.”

AGENT PROFILE

Margie Medelberg

By Amanda Dahl

‌A Mizzou graduate, Margie Medelberg originally set her sights on becoming a speechwriter. However, after her graduation during a painful recession in 1980, the job market forced Medelberg to consider other career endeavors. She soon discovered her strength in sales through the hospitality industry. With a new skill set under her belt, she followed her father’s advice and delved into real estate.

“The thing I like best about my business is the ability to make a difference for my client,” Medelberg shares.

“If I do my job well, I have added a service and a sense of humor to the whole process through which I helped them. I like being able to call the shots on the people I choose to work with and on my hours.”

The notable agent operates by the code her tagline embodies: “In partnership with you.” For Medelberg, she believes that the only way to success is for both the agent and the client to work together consistently on a deal.

“People often ask how I have built such a loyal group of clients,” she says. “It’s because there is no job beneath me. So many times, the stress of selling is overwhelming, and you have to be willing to be an extra set of hands, [whether] cleaning houses or planting flowers.”

Through this unique dedication, Medelberg uncovered an additional opportunity for her clients. She created a nonprofit, Recycled Treasures, which allows sellers to donate unwanted household items to those in need. And as a bonus, her clients receive a tax credit.

After 31 years in the housing industry, Medelberg has come to realize the true value of her career shift lies in the dynamic relationships she has fostered through real estate.

Style Speak

The future of fashion is being forged right in our city. “Future Fashion” is Saint Louis Fashion Fund’s educational programming for 2019 – the classes are dedicated to exploring the diverse world of fashion by teaching students how to design, illustrate, sew and create patterns for students ages 14 to 18. Jo Flannery, the fund’s director of education, is responsible for developing the curriculum, which centers on creativity and design. Flannery, a U.K. native with years of couture and high-end ready-to-wear experience under her belt, teaches some of the in-house programming while providing real-world fashion knowledge to students. Did we mention that her career began at Catherine Walker, where Princess Diana was a client? LN chatted with Flannery about the increase of teen programming at the fund, the variety of classes that will be offered and why it’s important to invest in the future of fashion.

Why did Saint Louis Fashion Fund decide to increase teen programming?

We did a pilot summer intensive course in partnership with COCA last year. It was a tremendous success, and as such, we knew we needed to expand the program. The students worked so hard – coming in early and staying late to finish their projects!

There are six workshop series being held from March to August. Can you tell us a little about each of these classes?

We launched with a Sustainability design-and-make weekend class. One of our partners is Found by the

MAY 3, 2019 | LadueNews.com

Pound, a thrift store in St. Louis. They have provided us with used garments that the students can upcycle.

Each student is given an old overall – very on-trend at the moment! – and they can rework in any way they want … Sustainability is such an important topic in fashion. The students will learn about what it means to be a sustainable designer and hopefully will use this knowledge as they explore careers in fashion.

We offer a half-day workshop in Draping on a Form. Draping is a brilliant skill to have and is not too difficult once you know how. Dorothy Jones from St. Louis company Bespoke is our master teacher for this class. She has decades of experience and loves to teach students new skills.

Our summer series, Fashion Intensive 1 and 2, are in collaboration with COCA. They are weeklong courses where students get to fully immerse themselves in design and making. We start with visual curation skills, making mood boards and thinking about color palettes and design details. Students then start work on cutting a simple shape in muslin and learning how to use the sewing machines. By the end of the week, they will all have produced a prototype garment to their own design. Students present their work to an audience of family, friends and fashion professionals. My aim is to introduce students to college-level teaching and to get them to think imaginatively and critically. Intensive 2 goes deeper into this process. Overall, it’s pretty fastpaced but always lots of fun!

By Trey Ross

And finally, we have a very special Sneaker School one-day Saturday workshop that we are running in partnership with St. Louis shoe design company Elan Polo … They have a deep knowledge of shoe and sneaker design. We are superexcited to be able to offer this class to young students.

What skills will be introduced to the Future Fashion students? How will these lessons impact their own future fashion careers?

The students will learn how to visually curate and present ideas – hugely important in the future job market. They will learn how to sew, make patterns, how to problem-solve and how to pivot ideas. By the time they get to college, they will already have a good grounding in the different skill sets and processes involved in taking an idea in their head to reality.

What is the most unique aspect of the fund’s Future Fashion program?

Our classes are fueled by creativity, first and foremost, but we also want students to learn about the real world of fashion. We foster a network of connections, both local and national, to give students the opportunity to meet people who work in fashion and to ask questions.

We also have our fashion truck, Miki’s Closet, which allows us to take our fashion education on the road for enrichment classes to city and county high schools.

Jennifer and Dave Kube converted a vintage Airstream trailer into a mobile hair salon that makes its rounds in the metro area for special events.

e Kub nifer n e J of tesy cour o t o h re | P Befo

Y

ears ago, Jennifer and Dave Kube bought a 1963 Airstream trailer so they could take their then-2-year-old on outdoor adventures with ease.

After a few expeditions, Jennifer Kube, a hairstylist, began to wonder if an Airstream could be converted into a mobile hair salon. She’d been in the business for nearly a decade at that point and saw similar concepts popping up on the West Coast, including a San Diego franchise. Intrigued, Jennifer Kube flew to California to see what the fuss was all about – and came back more motivated than ever to make her vision of creating the Midwest’s first mobile hair salon a reality.

After discussing the idea with her husband, they decided to keep their family Airstream and locate a new one to be converted to the salon. Some searching led them to a potential unit just outside of Kansas City.

“Someone had bought [a 1967 Airstream] and was trying to fix it up to take for family travel,” Jennifer Kube says. “But they decided the project was too much. Most of [the inside] was removed, and it had a clean slate.”

It would work perfectly for the Kubes’ project, though. Four years ago, they purchased the second Airstream and started on the long road of work ahead of them.

When asked what kind of labor had to be done to the Airstream in its condition when they purchased it, Jennifer Kube’s first response is “everything.”

“Plumbing, electricity … It all had to be done,” she says. “We didn’t know anyone who had done

of Je nnife r Kub

e

anything like this, so we had to get creative and find ways to do things and think outside the box.”

Aside from the electrical work, which they hired someone to install, the couple did most of the restoration themselves.

Dave Kube has a carpentry background and years of working on TV and movie sets under his belt. But this project challenged even him.

“The panels had been taken out and piled inside the trailer,” Dave Kube says. “The windows were smashed out and replaced with plexiglass. From the time we bought it, it was a three-year process [to complete].”

Part of the delay was due to a seven-month job in Chicago for Dave Kube, but when he returned, the couple poured their hearts and souls into converting the vintage trailer into a top-of-the-line mobile salon.

In late 2017, The Clipper Mobile Salon made its debut at Sasha’s on Shaw. The Kubes had just finished the build-out, which included room for two stylists to work within the state board of cosmetology’s regulations.

They weren’t offering services just yet but wanted to get the local community excited about the newest business on wheels. A few weeks after the debut, the Kubes got the trailer inspected, and it passed.

Over the course of the past year or so, The Clipper Mobile Salon has made its way across the metro area, offering blowouts, updos, dry trims and waxing for special events, milestone birthday parties and “blowout” bars. Jennifer Kube says her customers are often bridal parties, which

book the salon to pull up to a wedding location for the bride and her entourage for styling and makeup.

Between managing The Clipper Mobile Salon, hosting Clipper events on weekends and still doing hair full time for her own clientele, Jennifer Kube stays very busy, effectively working two jobs. “Now that the weather’s warming up, there’s usually an event once a week, whether it’s a wedding or a pop-up,” she says.

Giving back to the community that’s been so supportive of their vision is also a priority for the Kube family. At the end of March, The Clipper Mobile Salon worked with Suits for Soldiers to offer complimentary haircuts for veterans and active and retired military members. Jennifer Kube has also worked with Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital to cut patients’ hair and is looking to expand her volunteer services further into the local community.

“It’s the first mobile salon in the Midwest as far as I know,” she says.

“It has such a fun vibe to it. Most people haven’t been in an Airstream at all, let alone a mobile salon. We get a lot of people who aren’t even interested in the salon but will come up to us asking about the van, saying, ‘My grandma had one of these!’ There’s something for everyone to be interested here. And we can come to you.”

Solid GOLD(SCHMIDT)

By Frank Cusumano

‌HERE ARE FIVE THINGS I BELIEVE:

1.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever met a more humble superstar than Paul Goldschmidt. He’s the only player in the National League to play in the last six All-Star games. People in our baseball-crazy town scrutinize nearly every Cardinal move. How could this one have worked out any better? Carson Kelly, the catcher who wasn’t going to play for three years, and Luke Weaver, a pitcher who wasn’t good enough to make the rotation, and a minor leaguer were traded for Goldy. And the Cardinals didn’t just acquire this “face of the franchise” player, they locked him up for five more years. It’s a job well done by the Cards.

2.

If Goldy is compared to any player, it will be Albert Pujols. Nobody will ever give us the 11 years that Albert did, so Albert should get an incredible ovation on June 21, when the Los Angeles Angels hit town. However, it won’t be 100 percent love. He’s made some comments lately that irk Cardinals Nation. He said that the Cards didn’t want him long term and that he wasn’t willing to beg. The Cardinals offered him about 200 million bucks. They

did everything they thought they could. In the end, it worked out best for the Cards – the Angels aren’t getting a player who’s worth $240 million. But I’ll be there for his return and hope he gets a great ovation.

3.

Travis Ford and the Billikens also deserve an ovation. They won 23 games, the Atlantic 10 Championship, and made the NCAA Tournament.

And they did it playing often with just six healthy players and with just two healthy post-players. But help is on the way. As I write this, the Billikens have five recruits coming, and I’d anticipate some more on the way. The MVP of the A-10 Tourney was Tramaine Isabell, a grad transfer. That’s what SLU needs next season: a 23- or 24-year-old to come in and have an immediate impact on these young recruits.

4.

I love the Blues story this season, and I love their future even more. Jordan Binnington changed the season and will hopefully alter the future. I’m not saying he’s a future Hall of Famer.

However, he did have a Kurt Warner-type of impact: a little older for a rookie, coming out of nowhere,

Here’s my theory on health and fitness. The time and money you put into fitness now, you’ll eventually save with health issues later in life. If you’re doing everything you can in your 40s, 50s and 60s, you have a better chance of great health in your 70s, 80s and 90s. However, the wear and tear you’re putting on your body to stay in shape often makes you pay a price later. So it’s like you can’t win for losing! And if you love food as much as I do, you have to work out. Bottom line: It’s not easy.

HOLTZMAN

yron Holtzman claims his career has been filled with luck.

“We didn’t have much money when growing up, and I didn’t even consider attending college,” Holtzman says. “I was just going to graduate high school and get a job. Then I got lucky.”

The University City High School graduate received a lastminute loan to enroll at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1960. To help cover expenses, he waited tables at his fraternity house.

“I started out thinking I would major in business but quickly came to the realization that I’d better change my plans since I couldn’t add two plus two,” he says. The Missouri School of Journalism fulfilled the young student’s aspirations, as he combined his love of sports and his writing skills to select sports journalism as his career. “I was, again, lucky to be attending the best journalism school in the country,” he says.

After graduating from Mizzou, Holtzman took his first job in Rochester, Minnesota. There, he covered his first professional ice hockey game. “My editor took me to see it and asked me how I liked the sport,” Holtzman recalls. “I said, ‘I love it, but don’t understand it completely.’ He said, ‘Learn quickly because you are covering the next game.’ It was baptism by fire.”

However, Holtzman couldn’t stay away from St. Louis for long. After 1½ years in Rochester, he received a call from Bob Burnes, then-sports editor of the nowdefunct daily St. Louis Globe-Democrat, offering him a job.

“I was so excited to return to St. Louis,” Holtzman says. He went on to work at the Globe for 22 years as a writer and, later, as sports editor. He says Burnes was “like a second father to me.”

Amid his work at the Globe, Holtzman had a brief stint as public relations director for the St. Louis Blues. “It only lasted a short while [because the Blues were in a financial crunch at the time].”

That year, Bernie Federko and Brian Sutter were rookies.

“Federko was always a great interview – he would always tell it like it is,” Holtzman remembers.

Holtzman’s other sports writing jobs included part-time stints for The Sporting News (then headquartered in St. Louis) and the Associated Press. After the Globe closed in 1986, he became Anheuser-Busch’s publications manager for the St. Louis Cardinals. He also edited several publications for A-B and handled public relations duties for the Real Men of Genius ad series and NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. Holtzman retired in 2008 from A-B but has remained active in the sports arena.

He has been public relations director of the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame and

has served as chairman of the St. Louis Baseball Writers’ dinner for 11 years. In 2010, Holtzman co-authored The Cardinals of Cooperstown, Cooperstown about anyone who has ever been associated with the St. Louis Cardinals who has been named to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.

At 76 years, Holtzman has spent most of his adult life as a sports writer. He has covered events ranging high school sports to Mizzou and University of Illinois football and basketball, to pro teams like the St. Louis Blues and both St. Louis Cardinals teams – baseball and football. His résumé dates back to the old American Basketball Association’s Spirits of St. Louis.

And his career didn’t go unnoticed.

Holtzman has been inducted into three halls of fame – the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame, the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and the St. Louis Jewish Sports Hall of Fame at the Jewish Community Center.

He has also received distinguished sports writer awards from the Missouri High School Association, as well as the Missouri Golf Writers Award and the Bob Broeg Media Award of the local chapter of the National Football Foundation. Holtzman is a lifetime member of the Major League Baseball Writers Association.

“I have been extremely lucky and am humbled by all these honors,” he says.

Holtzman and his wife, Eleanor, have been married 41 years and live in a villa in Chesterfield. “Believe it or not, I miss cutting the grass,” he says. The couple has three children and four grandchildren.

Asked to name his favorite sport, he says, “My favorite sport is whatever is in season!”

Sunscreen Don’t Forget the

By Connie Mitchell | Portraits supplied

Doctor knows best: Local medical professionals recommend prevention and early detection as keys to skin cancer survival.

3, 2019 | LadueNews.com 5050 May May 3, 2019 | LadueNews.com

W

hen it comes to skin cancer, which affects one in five Americans by age 70, the most significant controllable risk factor is exposure to ultraviolet light. That means when you get up each morning and prepare for the day ahead, applying sunscreen should be just as routine as brushing your teeth or combing your hair.

Rain or shine, protecting your skin from UV rays is a healthy habit that can prevent a skin cancer diagnosis down the road.

“Sunscreen is a very effective protector from UV radiation, but it is certainly not the only form of protection,” says Dr. M. Laurin Council, a Washington University in St. Louis dermatologic surgeon. “Sun-protective clothing such as a broadbrimmed hat, sunglasses and sun-protective sleeves can also be helpful. Seeking shade during peak hours of UV sun exposure, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is another way to protect oneself.”

When buying sunscreen, look for products that are labeled as broad spectrum – these shield both UVA and UVB rays, which affect, respectively, the skin’s deepest, thickest layer and its superficial layers – and products that have a sun protection factor, or SPF, of 30 or greater. “Patients with sensitivity to certain products should look for physical sunscreens containing the ingredients zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide,” Council says. “Sunscreen should be applied at least every two hours and also after swimming, sweating or toweling off.”

Should skin cancer develop, early detection is important to ensure the best possible outcomes. Council recommends a full-body skin exam by a board-certified dermatologist for anyone age 40 or older, especially those with fair complexions or a family history of skin cancer. Self-awareness is also key, and recognizing potential signs of skin cancer is vital.

“Skin lesions that are present for more than a month without resolving [or] ones that bleed, grow or change are at risk,” she says.

“With regards to melanoma, one of the most deadly forms of skin cancer, we advise patients to monitor for the ‘ABCDEs’: asymmetry, border irregularity, color change, diameter greater than 6 millimeters and evolution [change]. Skin lesions with any of those features should be evaluated.”

In 2015, the last year of data reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 1,400 Missourians were diagnosed with melanoma, a form of skin cancer that can spread to other parts of the body. Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are more common, but

tend to be less aggressive.

These less dangerous carcinomas are customarily removed surgically, and the area can be reconstructed with plastic surgery, if needed. Although treatment for early stage melanoma generally begins with surgery, other types of therapies are being used and tested with encouraging results. “Melanoma is the poster child for progress in cancer treatment in the last five years,” says Dr. Ryan Fields, chief of surgical oncology at Siteman Cancer Center.

“Immunotherapy and targeted therapies based on the patient’s individual genome are standard and yield superb results.”

Just a few years ago, there were few options for treating advanced melanoma, but Fields now sees patients who are experiencing “durable long-term remission.” Research is underway at academic medical centers nationwide to explore combining new therapies with other types of treatments in order to increase success rates across the population.

“Also, we’re now able to transfer our knowledge of these treatments to other types of cancers, so success in one area can extend to other types of solid tumors,” he says. Although clinical trials take time, Fields notes that collaboration with colleagues at medical centers across the country and data gathered from previous clinical trials are helping speed the process.

As researchers move toward improved treatments, prevention remains the most important strategy.

Council’s advice to young and old alike is to use sunscreen daily and stay away from tanning beds, a point that Fields echoes. “Tanning beds are carcinogens – just don’t use them,” he says.

“And there’s no such thing as ‘just a mole,’ especially one that you might call a ‘birthmark’ but is growing or changing,” Fields says. “Get yourself checked out.” Council agrees: “An exam by a board-certified dermatologist can promote early detection of skin cancer, and the vast majority of skin cancers, when caught in their earliest stages, can be cured.”

dramatic results, with a one-time procedure that removes 60 to 70 percent of fat cells in a treated area,” he describes. “It’s done as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences.”

This can result in some pain, bruising or swelling at the procedure site, but these capable surgeons will set you up with a plan for pain management.

Liposuction requires your doctor to make small incisions, which may result in minor scarring that generally fades over time. You’ll be back to your regular routine shortly but may need to wear a compression garment for up to three weeks.

“CoolSculpting is a noninvasive procedure,” Dr. Myckatyn details. “It is ideal for patients who are at a

ou hit the gym. You eat a balanced diet. You take care of yourself. And yet, you still can’t get rid of that extra flab, gained through genetics or from pregnancy. There’s a solution for you, says West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University: body contouring.

“Treating these areas with liposuction or CoolSculpting eliminates fat to give the body a more svelte appearance,” Dr. Marissa Tenenbaum says. “One of the most important considerations in choosing a body contouring procedure is determining which treatment would be most beneficial.”

Her colleague, Dr. Terry Myckatyn, explains two procedures that can help you cross the finish line and complete your transformation. “Liposuction offers

desirable weight, eat well and are active, but who need help with a problem area. There is no downtime with CoolSculpting; however, it only removes up to 20 percent and may require at least three 35-minute sessions.”

The big benefit here is that you can resume normal activities same-day. The treated area may be uncomfortable to the touch for up to four days postprocedure. Whichever you’re inclined to choose, discuss your options with your doctor. Other procedures, such as a tummy tuck for excess skin, may be your best solution.

“We make sure our patients know all of the options open to them when considering fat reduction and body contouring procedures,” Dr. Tenenbaum says. “We want to understand their goals and set realistic expectations to ensure the patient is satisfied with the results.”

uattro Trattoria + Pizzeria – which debuted just a month ago at The Westin St. Louis downtown, next to Busch Stadium – features an Italian-focused menu with pastas, pizzas and more in a casual, contemporary setting.

The eatery, on the hotel’s first floor, replaces Clark Street Grill, which closed in mid-December to make way for extensive renovation. The resulting expansion features a 140-seat dining room, a brand-new bar with 30 additional seats and an additional entrance with views of the stadium.

“I think of it as modern Italian with smaller portions and smaller plates,” Wedel says. “Guests can come in, sit down and have starters, pasta, and still have room for dessert. It’s an affordable menu so anyone can come in and have a great meal.”

Story: Identical twins Iola Hughes and Anest Owen have lived all their lives in a town on the northern coast of Pembrokeshire, in western Wales. Now in their 70s, they have outlived their husbands and face a dismal future in their tiny cottage because of Iola’s rapidly failing health.

Anest’s daughter, Menna, returns from her home elsewhere to help care for her aunt, whose personality and health have become erratic, unpredictable and increasingly violent because of apparent dementia brought on by her illness. Menna thrusts herself into home care to assist her mother, although the latter seems fine with everything as is, after receiving an alarming letter from her aunt discussing suicide.

Menna assures her mother that she can afford the time to do this, because her husband is “holding down the fort” at home and their two sons have grown and left the nest. Occasionally, the three women are visited by local constable Gareth Rowlands, who is Menna’s age and a friend of long standing.

While Menna frets about hygiene and improvements to the sisters’ abode, Iola slips in and out of lucidity, cared for lovingly at each turn by her sharp-witted sibling. The two of them reminisce about their childhood and their mysterious father, who said he was a “merman” akin to the creatures in Welsh lore, returning periodically to the sea. To Menna’s frustration, they also converse occasionally in Welsh.

Menna’s nerves continue to fray as she attempts to restore some semblance of normalcy to her mother’s and aunt’s lives. She cannot abide, however, the most shocking secret of all when Anest reveals her plan on how ultimately to care for her declining “soul” sister.

Is this a matter for Gareth? Should Menna take complete command of the situation? Or do the identical twins have some inexorable link that makes the most sense of a tragic development?

Highlights: Tim Price’s affecting, absorbing drama is given a top-notch presentation in its American premiere production currently from Upstream Theater.

A one-act wonder, it ideally fits Upstream’s goal “to move you and move you to think.”

Other Info: A co-production with Houston’s Stages Repertory Theatre, this tidy gem from 2011 is Welsh in its setting but universal in its humanity, as it addresses difficult decisions faced by people around the world every day.

The heartbreak of seeing a beloved family member decline into an, at times, unrecognizable, fearsome force through the savage effects of dementia is addressed in a tender, often humorous fashion by Price. Upstream’s rendition helps set the mood with Michael Heil’s atmospheric scenic design, one which whimsically sketches the ladies’ cottage on the back wall and features a “beach” with pebbles on the floor surrounded by its nearby waters.

Michele Friedman Siler’s costumes accentuate Iola’s perilous condition in contrast to the “normal” dress of the others, and Lucy Garlich contributes the wig design utilized by Sally Edmundson as Anest.

Edmundson is a regular contributor to productions from Stages Repertory Theatre, where Kenn McLaughlin, director of this drama, serves as artistic director. She’s one of the excellent quartet of performers whose interpretations of the show’s four characters resonate with warmth, compassion and haunting realism throughout.

Edmundson’s Anest is calm, cool and considerate when dealing not only with her alarmingly fading sister but also with her uptight, frustrated daughter.

Donna Weinsting does a masterful job of walking the tightrope of Iola’s erratic personality, as peacefully oblivious in reminding Menna that she’s placed her niece’s cellphone in a teapot as she is menacing when lost in her garbled thoughts, convinced her sister is stealing everything she has of value.

Amy Loui adroitly portrays the daughter/niece who is at once both a worried caregiver for her aunt in her declining condition and also the little girl who remembers happier times at the beach, before her own adulthood brought with it the requisite responsibilities. Completing the accomplished cast is Eric Dean White as the affable, dependable Gareth.

Composer Anthony Barilla’s melancholic sound design richly accentuates the somber aspects of Price’s incisive work, which takes its title from Welsh poet Dylan Thomas’ “Where Once the Waters of Your Face,” which is reprinted in the show’s program.

Salt, Root and Roe is a touching, endearing and well-wrought piece that deals with a controversial subject with multilayered, thoughtful and affecting consideration. It does Upstream’s mission proud.

Stéphane Denève, music director designate of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, leads the final weekend of the orchestra’s 2018-19 classical subscription season with performances of ESA-PEKKA SALONEN’S NYX, RAVEL’S SHÉHÉRAZADE and BERLIOZ’S SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE at St. Louis’ acclaimed Powell Hall. The concerts open with the St. Louis premiere of Nyx. Described as “a rich and dazzling musical invention” by the San Francisco Chronicle, the tone poem draws its inspiration from the Greek goddess Nyx, a relatively unknown figure. The concerts continue with Shéhérazade, a song cycle based on the text of a Tristan Klingsor poem written in response to Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade suite. Ravel’s composition reflects the story of the heroine and narrator of The Arabian Nights. Mezzo-soprano Rinat Shaham makes her debut with the orchestra singing Shéhérazade. Closing the season is Berlioz’s masterpiece, Symphonie fantastique, considered among the most influential orchestral compositions of all time. A celebrated interpreter of French repertoire, Denève leads the orchestra in this rousing symphonic story about a talented artist who resorts to drastic measures because of unrequited love.

Tickets start at $25. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday. slso.org.

Soul SHEPPARD MOROSE

ART and

M

odern masters whom Sheppard Morose cites as her greatest influences include not only Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly, Henri Matisse, Mies Van der Rohe and Pablo Picasso but also Helen Frankenthaler – and that seems apt, in light of Aqua Glacier, the exuberant 6- by 4-foot acrylic on stretched canvas reproduced here.

Frankenthaler (a small but splendid selection of whose work Clayton’s Greenberg Gallery showcased from early last November through the end of January) pioneered what came to be called color field painting, a style of abstractionism emergent in New York City midway through the 20th century.

Like Frankenthaler’s color field lovelies, Aqua Glacier seduces the viewer with sheer and utter chromatic exuberance, ravishing the eye with lavish celadon and teal, as well as varied blues – in addition to perhaps incongruous white riptidal effects.

“I’m enthralled by Frankenthaler’s use of moody color and how it creates emotion in her paintings,” Morose, who lives in St. Louis, notes. “Evidence-based design, the field of study in health care which gives credible evidence to the colors best for improving patient and staff well-being, influences my soft pieces … Bold colors in geometric design have always energized me.”

Perhaps predictably in context, Aqua Glacier also may owe a certain debt to Jackson Pollock and his action

painting branch of abstract expressionism, in that its creator identifies it as “part of a series of paintings inspired by the Earth’s elements and atmosphere. The layers are created with traditional paintbrushes, with what I call a ‘kinetic paintbrush’ – also known as a large, swinging industrial mop – and with paint applied out of a spray bottle.”

Intriguingly, for younger individuals seeking to distinguish themselves in art, Morose recommends not only working harder than their counterparts but also studying business to a degree. “Knowing how our global society is evolving is imperative,” she says, before citing physics, of all things, as her favorite subject in high school. “I use a lot of math to create my compositions.

I studied advertising in college and worked as a graphic designer for 12 years before I started a career in fine art.”

By way of more specific background, Morose mentions having earned a bachelor’s degree in communications in the ’80s from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign before pursuing post-baccalaureate work at the esteemed School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

After that, she worked first for a global media company based in Chicago, then for public relations/marketing behemoth FleishmanHillard here.

For both of those erstwhile employers, Morose recalls using her “design strengths to create bold, colorful paintings and original pigment prints” and characterizes

By Bryan A. Hollerbach Image courtesy of Sheppard Morose

her niche, at the time, as “work[ing] with designers, architects and homeowners to create interiors that uplift and engage those who pass through. Some colorful, modern installations stretch three stories high in downtown loft spaces, while other nature-inspired pieces promote wellness in health facilities.”

In 2004, Morose transitioned from serving as a graphic designer to creating fine art, and in the intervening decade and a half, she notes, her works have graced a number of collections both individual and corporate, domestic and foreign.

In sum, Morose revisits the masters, as well as the planet’s abiding mistress: “The east building of the Saint Louis Art Museum has a superb collection of modern art. I visit the classics – work by Monet, Matisse and Picasso – and always find new inspiration.

Walking through the Missouri Botanical Garden or simply out the front door, endless color combinations come to mind. From subtle to vibrant, we have Mother Nature to thank.”

Once More Welcoming Williams

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photo by Ride Hamilton

For a Fourth straight year, an area event pays tribute to one oF the nation’s greatest playwrights.

60 May 3, 2019 | LadueNews.com

T

he 11-day Tennessee Williams Festival St. Louis celebrates its fourth year starting Thu., May 9, with all but one of its components taking place in or starting from one space or another at The Grandel, the multiuse arts facility in St. Louis’ Grand Center Arts District.

The festival – which salutes the native St. Louisan now buried in that city’s Calvary Cemetery – was named the 2019 Arts Startup of the Year in January by the Arts and Education Council of Greater St. Louis. Three theatrical productions are spotlighted during the festival, two of them written by Williams and the third inspired by him: • The Night of the Iguana, a three-act drama focused on faith and desire in Mexico that premiered on Broadway in 1961, stars Jim Butz, Lavonne Byers, Nisi Sturgis, Elizabeth Townsend and Harry Weber, under the direction of Tim Ocel.

• A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur – which premiered, after a fashion, in 1979 and reportedly inspired The Golden Girls, the 1985-92 NBC sitcom – stars Julie Layton, Ellie Schwetye, Kelley Weber and Maggie Wininger, under the direction of Kari Ely. • Dear Mr. Williams, a one-man show inspired by Williams’ life, premieres at the festival and stars its writer, nationally acclaimed actor Bryan Batt, under the direction of Michael Wilson. (Unlike all of the festival’s other components, this performance takes place in the Curtain Call Lounge at The Fabulous Fox Theatre.)

The festival also includes a trio of one-hour morning discussion panels that involve both scholars and performers; a tribute to Williams in poetry, prose and song by festival artists; a guided bus tour of Williams landmarks in the area; and a pair of nonticketed but reservations-recommended jazz brunches on the festival’s two Sundays.

In addition to serving as an adjunct professor of casting and acting at Webster University in Webster Groves, Carrie Houk founded the festival and serves as its artistic director. She briefly explains what led her and the other

“His time in St. Louis influenced so much of his writing.”

Carrie Houk, festival founder and artistic director

festival organizers to choose The Night of the Iguana as the marquee performance for 2019.

“When I first met the director, Tim Ocel, in 2017 to see if he would be interested in working with us, we quickly discovered that The Night of the Iguana is our mutually favorite Tennessee Williams play,” she says. “We decided to go with A Streetcar Named Desire as our first outing [in 2018], a more familiar Williams play to continue to build a strong audience base.

“For our fourth festival, we thought the timing perfect for Iguana. The play could not be more timely, with our world in 2019 being on a similar precipice as it was in the 1940 of our play.”

Batt, who portrayed Salvatore “Sal” Romano on the first three seasons of the much-lauded TV drama Mad Men, similarly explains what inspired his involvement in the festival with Dear Mr. Williams.

“As a native New Orleanian and an actor, I have pretty much always been aware of the indelible influence of Tennessee Williams on the American as well as the world stage,” Batt says.

“Over the years, my love of his work grew and grew, but it wasn’t until, by chance, I was given the opportunity to create a piece celebrating his work and its connection to New Orleans that I truly discovered how much of an impact he had on my life and on so many others. Whether we know it or not, at one point or another, we have all depended on the kindness of strangers.”

Houk also reflects briefly on what facet of past festivals has most impressed her personally. “I think the fact that we have been embraced so strongly and received so much critical acclaim – seven St. Louis Theater Circle Awards for Streetcar, including best production of a play, and the Arts and Education Council best arts start-up – in such a short period of time has been a very pleasant surprise,” she says.

“I love watching the audience watch our shows: utterly engaged, listening, the excitement at intermission to get back to see what happens next! When we brought the National Drama Company of Ghana to perform Ten Blocks on the Camino Real [in 2017], we performed outside in

different neighborhoods in St. Louis. It was marvelous to see people, some of whom had never been exposed to theater, be completely enthralled with the work.”

Houk similarly assesses how the festival has developed in its first four years. “The biggest challenge has been to impress upon the community the importance of creating this festival in the city where Tennessee Williams spent more time – 19 years – than any other city he lived in, his very formative years,” she says. “His time in St. Louis influenced so much of his writing.

“I also want to ensure that younger generations know his work and appreciate the beauty of his language and the utter humanity in his writing. Reaching out to the whole of the St. Louis community is of utmost importance. This festival should become a permanent part of our cultural fiber, and I believe we are growing into that.”

Finally, the festival’s artistic director muses briefly on what its fifth year may hold. “Our hope is to continue to expand the May festival, but [also] to expand across the year,” Houk says. “For our main stage at The Grandel, I’m looking at two very popular titles, but we hope to explore Williams’ lesser-known work, as well. I’d also like to bring back the St. Louis rooming house plays [four short works that Williams set in rented rooms here – Hello From Bertha, In Our Profession, The Last of My Solid Gold Watches and The Pink Bedroom] in the Stockton House with four new works.” The Tennessee Williams Festival St. Louis, in short, self-evidently strives and will continue to strive to provide area residents with stagecraft at its apex.
