EDITOR’S NOTE

IN THIS WEEK’S PAGES, WE PRESENT YOU WITH OUR PHOTO GALLERY of the 2014 Ladue News Charity Awards. From providing youngsters with reading skills and allowing kids of all abilities the chance to seesaw and swing to their heart’s content, to giving disadvantaged individuals the gift of good vision and keeping military veterans engaged in their communities, this year’s nine finalists run the gamut of answering the call to help St. Louisans in need.

And we couldn’t say enough about our top charities, including Doorways, which annually assists 2,300 St. Louisans living with HIV/AIDS with housing and other support services; Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis, which reaches out to more than 13,000 people a year by providing families with a place to stay while their loved one seeks treatment at area hospitals; and Rx Outreach, an organization that so far this year, has helped more than 51,000 people who otherwise couldn’t afford life-saving medicine.

I urge you to take a look at the faces behind these organizations—they are the people who make it their mission to make a difference, one St. Louisan at a time.

Our coverage begins on p. 5.

Celebrating Celebrating Over

Years of of Service Service 145 Years

How are you celebrating the Fourth?

DIANE ANDERSON I WILL BE CELEBRATING JULY 4 WITH MY father, Walter Treppler, who turns 91 that day.

We will gather ‘round for some barbecue and, of course, birthday cake. After sunset, we will enjoy the neighborhood fireworks display!

FRANK CUSUMANO MY FOURTH-OF-JULY FANTASY WOULD BE 18 holes of golf with the kids. Then, a trip to Hanlen’s for some strip steaks—put them on the grill, have a beer, rent a movie, and hold the lovely Monique’s hand the rest of the night.

Reality could be working at KSDK and getting a Zagnut bar out of the vending machine.

Over the past 145 years, Schrader Funeral Home has made community service, professional integrity and high ethical standards a tradition.

Make plans with your family to attend the second annual ST. LOUIS INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S FILM FESTIVAL this summer. Two former St. Louisans and current top animators are the featured guests this year: BRAD SCHIFF (Coraline, The Boxtrolls) and SHAWN KRAUSE (Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Up). Both men will give behind-the-scenes discussions on their work. The festival, held on two weekends in August (Aug. 1 to 3 and Aug. 8 to 10), will have 19 film programs on its schedule at venues throughout St. Louis, including St. Louis Public Library, COCA, Saint Louis Art Museum, and Webster and Lindenwood universities. The festival is put on

by CINEMA ST. LOUIS, thanks to a grant from PNC Arts Alive.

Longtime newsman and author KEVIN KILLEEN is having a release party for his latest book, Try to Kiss a Girl, next month. The book-signing and discussion will be held at Left Bank Books on Wednesday, July 9, at 7 p.m. This is a second novel from Killeen, a reporter at KMOX Radio since 1995. His debut, Never Hug a Nun, won the Silver Benjamin Franklin Award from the Independent Book Publishers Association.

One of the largest annual gatherings across the country in honor of 9/11 will be held on Sunday, Sept. 7, at The Sheldon. ARTS & FAITH ST. LOUIS, a collaboration of local arts and faith leaders, created the memorial concert on the 10th anniversary of the tragedy in 2011. Since then, the concert has consistently drawn standingroom-only crowds. This year’s concert is from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and will include performers such as world-renowned soprano CHRISTINE BREWER and acclaimed jazz pianist PETER MARTIN, along with members of the ST. LOUIS SYMPHONY. The keynote speaker will be Eden Theological Seminary president DAVID GREENHAW.

SOCIE T Y SSM CARDINAL GLENNON CHILDREN’S MEDICAL CENTER

Polo for Pediatrics

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

L

ADIES, GRAB YOUR HATS—IT’S ALMOST time for the second annual Glennon Gallop.

This ‘White Hot Affair’ on Sept. 13 at Kräftig Polo Club in Defiance will benefit SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center.

“It’s an incredible event where more than 1,000 people come together last year to support a pediatric clinic,” says Dan Buck, VP of philanthropy for Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation.

In its inaugural year, the event raised more than $150,000 in support of the Danis Pediatric Center.

“Everyone just had an amazing time; many people said it was the party of the summer,” Buck says.

“The environment of polo, the divot stomp, an air-conditioned tent [for VIP ticketholders]...it made for a magical afternoon and evening.”

The fast-paced polo match—played by the St. Louis Polo Club—will not be the only entertainment at the event. Both oral and silent auctions will be held in the VIP tent, as well as wining and dining. And don’t forget about classic polo activity: the stomping of the divots.

Buck explains that event beneficiary, Danis Pediatric Center, is an outpatient pediatric clinic.

“We provide a comprehensive space for families to get their checkups, physicals and diagnosis.

We deliver first-class services to families who otherwise may not have access,” he says. “We try to serve families well-ahead of illness, and educate parents on everything from nutrition to hygiene.”

Danis Pediatric Center is a teaching medical center, which means that Saint Louis University School of Medicine residents and medical students learn more about caring for children from faculty members during patient appointments.

Danis Pediatric Center’s Reach Out and Read Coalition also will benefit from the event. The Coalition provides free books for pediatric patients at Danis Pediatric Center, along with other community clinics throughout St. Louis, says Buck. “We feel the good of the child is important in all aspects—not just health care.”

The event features a white-and-khaki dress code. Attendees may purchase VIP admission for

Paul von Gontard and Billy Busch during the 2013 Glennon Gallop

$100, which includes reserved seating in an airconditioned tent. At-the-gate general admission will be available for $25 per car. Major sponsors include Fifth Third Bank and A. Bommarito Wines.

“This year, it’s going to be an amazing day of great polo, great wine, fabulous auction, and a night that will truly make a different to the families served at Danis Pediatrics,” Buck says.

Hunger is Year-Round

S‌

July 4, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

Area kids enjoy summer meals provided through Operation Food Search.

“WE DON’T LIKE TO THINK OF ANYBODY GOING TO BED HUNGRY— ESPECIALLY CHILDREN.” SUNNY SCHAEFER, Operation Food Search executive director

Foodbank. And summers are busiest for the Foodbank, as students’ free and reduced school lunches end and break begins.

“We distribute more food in the summer months to alleviate that need,” Finnegan says.

A food drive each Mother’s Day weekend generates most of the canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter and other non-perishable foods the Foodbank distributes during the summer.

Hunger is a cyclical problem, Schaefer notes.

And St. Louis has a growing working poor population, comprised of families in need, Finnegan adds. “We are trying to shine a light on the problem of childhood hunger,” Schaefer says.

“We don’t like to think of anybody going to bed hungry—especially children.”

UMMER IS A TIME FOR A KID TO be a kid. But for the more than 170,000 youngsters at risk for hunger in the bi-state region, it’s also a time to worry about where their next meal may be coming from.

Operation Food Search and St. Louis Foodbank are working to change that.

With school out of session and kids unable to rely on a lunchtime meal, these organizations are stepping up to help fill the gap. “In our Missouri service area, there are 383,000 students who receive free or reduced lunches in the school year,” notes St. Louis Foodbank president and CEO Frank Finnegan.

For its part, Operation Food Search, through its partnership with St. Louis County libraries, is aiming to provide more than 2,000 kids with lunches this summer. The meals, which typically include a sandwich, fruit, chips and milk— prescribed and funded by the USDA—will be served from noon until 1 p.m. Monday to Friday through Aug. 15 at the Florissant Valley, Rock Road and Weber Road branches. The libraries also will offer educational activities for the kids who come in for lunch. Operation Food Search executive director Sunny Schaefer says it’s a win-win situation for the kids and the agencies.

“They want the kids in the library so they can read and continue their education process in the summer—and it’s very hard to learn when you’re hungry, so we’re providing the meals.”

In addition to the libraries, Operation Food Search also is traveling to area neighborhoods and swimming pools—wherever kids are out playing and working up a hunger in the summer—to give them healthy meals.

Giving the gift of food is just one way Operation Food Search is impacting local hunger.

The organization also offers opportunities for food education and hunger awareness. One such educational program is Cooking Matters, a year-round weekly class where dieticians and nutritionists empower low-income families with advice on buying nutritious food on a budget and cooking healthy meals for their kids at home. “There’s nothing better than being able to feed your own family a nutritious meal,” Schaefer notes.

In other efforts, about 500 food agencies within a 100-mile radius of St. Louis are feeding about 260,000 people a year—about 40 percent of which are 18 and younger—thanks to St. Louis

Q&A with Kathleen Behrmann of Buddha Body & Bath

S‌

T. LOUIS HAS A RICH COMMUNITY OF artisans who are creating their own natural soap and body care products right here in town. We talked with Kathleen Behrmann, of Buddha Body & Bath, about how she got her start in this booming field.

What did you do before you started your bath and body business?

I was an elementary school principal for the Brentwood School District, so it was quite a change. I started soap-making out of curiosity, to see if I could do it. When I made the first batch and it turned out, I was hooked. I was making it

as presents, and people kept wanting more and eventually started paying for it. I did it on the side until I retired, then started doing it full-time. It’s been successful: I’m living my dream, doing my passion, meeting people and having fun—and I’m making enough money to cover my hobby.

What is involved in the soap-making process?

Soap is pretty basic: Fat plus lye equals soap. It’s a chemical process. The sodium hydroxide molecules in the lye bond with the fat and the oil to become soap. What’s unique about handcrafted soap is that one of the byproducts is glycerin. Commercial soap-makers remove the glycerin and use it for skin moisturizers and hair conditioners—they take the good stuff out of the soap and sell it back to you. My recipe includes olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil (I’m trying to get away from that, but I haven’t developed a recipe I’m happy with yet), avocado oil and castor oil. And then I add other things like ground oatmeal, or botanicals and herbs. I also add natural colorants—things like dried powdered parsley or black walnut seed. You can do beautiful designs like marbling to make it really attractive.

Did you deliberately set out to make your soaps all-natural?

Yes. I’ve had relatives who used nicotine patches, which made me realize anything you put on the skin does go into the body. That made me more aware of what I was putting on and in my body.

There are a lot of people who think similarly…plus the natural scents are so wonderful and pure, and you can’t get those scents any other way.

LIV ING SPINNING: A FIRST-PERSON ACCOUNT

Pedal-Pusher

I‌

N THE WEEKS FOLLOWING MY WEBSTER Groves Recreation Complex Beginning Spinning course, I have been trying to find a way to say this in a professional manner, appropriate for publication, only to come to the conclusion that there’s no nice way around it. The problem with Spinning, plain and simple, is the seat.

I did not bring a seat cover to Beginning Spinning because I did not know about seat covers.

The instructor, Jeanne Samson, was nice enough to lend me one both times I took the class—however, the seat cover during the first week was sincerely thinner than the one I used during the second week. I credit this extra level of cushion for the fact that I did not leave Beginning Spinning class No. 2 early/in tears/otherwise broken.

If you skip the rest of this article, here’s what I hope you take away: Don’t try to be a hero. Drop the 20-or-so bucks and buy the jumbo-plush seat cover.

Now, on to the other aspects of the class: Like most fitness-related activities, I was dreading this course. Call me a cynic, but once I hear how great something is from a number of sources, I tune out altogether. It’s how I missed the Harry Potter craze, the Avatar obsession and the entire concept of photo app Snapchat. Spinning fell into this—wait for it—cycle.

This 55-minute class begins with an easy warm-up ride, and is followed simply by more riding. I don’t know what I was expecting, but when something is referred to as a class, I envision learning a new skill. This is a skill you already know—you’re simply doing it with other people.

And if you’re of the anti-fitness mindset like I am, this is enough to make you think the entire experience is unnecessary.

The class is broken into two types of rides: high- and low-resistance. During high-resistance rides, we would move from sitting to standing, which felt a little more like climbing than riding.

It also got your behind off the devil seat, which I loved. For low-resistance rides, we were in ‘races,’ which literally meant going as fast as you could.

The class became much more enjoyable once I remembered the wise words my coworkers sent me off with: You don’t have to go as fast as everyone else. Add that to the fact that you are the sole person in charge of your bike’s resistance—no judgment from me if you only pretend to turn it up—and the main hurdle to cross is your own pride. Sure, you should do your best and push yourself; but if you’re half a song away from actually passing out, you might have let your competitiveness get the best of you.

The class is advertised as having ‘motivating

DON’T TRY TO BE A HERO. DROP THE 20-OR-SO BUCKS AND BUY THE JUMBO-PLUSH SEAT COVER. music,’ and tunes varied from classic rock to Top 40, and included well-known hits from Lady Gaga, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Gym Class Heroes, OneRepublic—even the Backstreet Boys made a brief appearance.

All in all, the tunes were bearable, even to this music snob. Excluding the seat, my only problem with cycling came from the position you’re forced to sit in: You don’t sit up straight—you lean forward to hold on to the handlebars.

The class wraps up with stretching; then, it’s time to move the bikes. These machines are heavy, so after a class packed with exercise, this proved to be a difficult task. Thanks to the front wheels, moving the bikes was sort of like moving a packed dolly that you didn’t load—you’ve got no idea how heavy it’s going to be, but you’ve got to get it on those two wheels without breaking something (you, the machine, your pride, whatever.)

Now back to unpleasantries: I left this class drenched in sweat with wobbly legs. This class is exhausting, and you will look—and probably feel— disgusting after taking it. Beauty is pain, right? The saving grace of the sweat situation was the Lorna

Jane ‘Karin Excel Tank’ from Dimvaloo Active Living, which literally did what its tag said it would: wick moisture away from the body.

“You will sweat—it feels like you got a work out in,” says Dave Reddy, Webster Groves Recreation Complex head personal trainer, noting that this cardio class is low- or no-impact when the bike is adjusted properly. And unlike a regular bicycle, you can’t coast during Spinning. “When you begin pedaling, you are pedaling the entire time,” he says.

Sore, sweaty and nearly blind from runny mascara, I somehow finished my Spinning experience with a pleasant opinion. However, for a few days, I couldn’t help but think, Why attend a class when I can do this anywhere with a bike? As the days after Spinning turned into weeks, I realized something about myself that I’d bet is true for many: Without someone making me do it, I’ll never try as hard. Alone in the gym on a bike, I get bored after a few minutes and walk away. The accountability of the class was the difference—and without it, I’m back in my old cycle (and no, this time I don’t mean of the biking variety). Maybe that’s why people rave about the course. Touché, Spinning, touché.

HEALTH & WELLNESS TICKS AND TICK-BORNE DISEASES For Safe, Healthy Summer Travel If travel is part of your summer plan, make sure you’re prepared for a healthy trip.

And if you’re not sure exactly what that entails, seek professional advice.

The Ladue Pharmacy Travel Care Clinic has existed for two years, and chief pharmacist Angie Kloeppel administers vaccines to protect against yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, polio, tetanus and diptheria, pneumonia and other diseases that can ruin a vacation.

No Ticks Allowed A

CCORDING TO THE LATE naturalist John Muir, “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” And that’s good, as long as you only receive inspiration—not tick bites.

Missouri is home to a variety of ticks, tiny arachnids that attach to a host and feast on its blood. In the process, ticks can transmit diseases, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, Lyme disease and the relatively new Heartland virus. However, experts say there’s no need to panic. Serious illness caused by tick bites remains rare.

People who suffer from chronic disease, are immunocompromised or are elderly are at highest risk of serious illness or death from tick-borne infection.

“The ticks most commonly found in Missouri (dog and lone star ticks) are not responsible for Lyme disease,” says Dr. Michael Railey, a SLUCare family physician. “Tick bites don’t commonly lead to disease even when infestation occurs in common areas. Probably about 1.2 to 1.4 percent of the time, tick-borne disease

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

occurs.” In order for the tick to infect a human, it must have fed for 24 to 36 hours, he adds.

While she agrees that tick-borne disease is infrequent, Dr. Elizabeth Lucas, medical director of St. Luke’s Urgent Care Centers and St. Luke’s Convenient Care, provides a list of potential symptoms that call for medical attention: high fever, excessive fatigue, severe headache, confusion, weakness or paralysis, numbness, severe muscle aches, vomiting, difficulty breathing or significant rashes.

In many cases, there will be a mild, local (skin) reaction to a tick bite, adds Dr. Jad Khoury, an infectious disease specialist with Mercy Clinic. These minor reactions usually clear up quickly with no need for medical intervention.

However, Khoury advises precaution as a rule. “Prevention requires wearing long sleeves, if possible, and having another person check your skin and hair for ticks after being outdoors,” he says.

DEET is the most effective chemical agent recommended by experts. “It has been determined that for casual outdoor

activities, products containing 20 to 50 percent DEET are effective for providing long-lasting protection against ticks, which is a slightly higher concentration than what is recommended for mosquitoes,” Lucas says. “A 10 to 30 percent concentration of DEET may be used on children over the age of 2 months for mosquito and tick bite protection.” Other effective insect repellants contain picaridin, IR3535 and lemon eucalyptus, she says.

If you do find a tick attached to your skin, Railey recommends removal with a fine-pointed pair of tweezers, gently but consistently pulling the tick out. “The tick should be grasped close to the skin without twisting, tugging or tearing,” he says. “If all body parts do not come out, do not continue to dig and cause more skin damage. After gently washing with soap and water, the remaining parts will eventually fall out. Do not use matches, kerosene, vaseline, alcohol or other ‘folk’ remedies.”

Enjoy being outdoors this summer. But be careful to gain only inspiration from those walks in the woods.

“Our travel clinic provides an assessment of required or recommended vaccines based on the country or countries traveling to or through,” says pharmacy owner Richard Williams. “We offer consultation on risks and benefits, recommended overthe-counter products and supplies that may be needed during travel. Patients receiving the yellow fever vaccine receive a special stamp that is recognized internationally.”

Appointments are required and should be made as soon as possible to ensure that vaccines are given far enough in advance to be effective.

S THE POPULATION AGES AND women statistically outlive men, a number of age-related diseases will become more prevalent in women. Among the most disabling, age-related eye conditions that can steal sight.

In terms of specific eye conditions, “the only eye disease that affects women more than men is dry eye syndrome—and only after menopause,” says Dr. Joseph Gira, an ophthalmologist with Ophthalmology Consultants Ltd. “This is largely due to the hormonal effects on tear production,” he continues. “Dry eye may sound trivial, but it can cause permanent vision loss if not treated or if severe.”

Gira notes that there are several effective therapies for treating dry eye. These include artificial tears, topical medications, including Restasis and steroids, oral medications and punctal plugs.

“There’s not much that can be done to prevent dry eye, but earlier intervention and treatment can prevent it from getting worse,” he adds.

Cataracts and macular degeneration are other age-related eye conditions known to cause vision loss. Both men and women are susceptible to these conditions as they age, and the older one gets, the greater the risk. Treatments are the same for men

and women, and depend on severity of the condition and other individual factors.

“The most important thing that women should know about preserving their vision is to see their eye doctor,” Gira says. “There are many things that can be discovered during a routine check-up. By the time someone notices a problem with their vision, it can sometimes be too late to do anything.

Seeing your eye doctor once a year is sufficient.

Another important thing that is often overlooked is protecting one’s eyes from ultraviolet light using sunglasses and hats. UV light not only causes cataracts, but also macular degeneration.”

Women can learn more about caring for their eyes via Women’s Eye Health (w-e-h.org), advises Dr. Christine Broeder, an optometrist at Eyewearhaus. Another resource is See Jane See: Women’s Healthy Eyes Now (seejanesee. preventblindness.org), a program sponsored by the national organization Prevent Blindness.

“It is imperative that we inform women about protecting their vision today in order to save sight for tomorrow,” said Hugh Parry, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness. “By creating the See Jane See program, we are able to provide a place where women can find current news and invaluable information that’s dedicated specifically to them and their needs.”

By Brittany Nay

low-pile carpet are musts. “You don’t want something that has a drag. Remove area rugs—they are tripping hazards—and change the color and texture of flooring from room-to-room, so there is contrast between differences in elevation.”

Most renovations will be focused on the kitchen and bathroom, where everyday needs should be made as accessible as possible, Worobec notes. In the kitchen, she recommends moving appliances to countertop height for easy access, as well as adding multi-level shelving, lever hardware and touch controls. “Touch faucets are great for those who can’t grasp—all you do is touch them on and off. And induction cooktops are good because you can still touch it and not get burned, and the cleanup is easy and efficient.”

In the bathroom, Worobec incorporates design elements for ease of use. “Not being able to take care of personal hygiene is the single biggest reason people move into nursing facilities,” she explains.

She advises a low- or no-threshold shower with

our home is an expression of your personal style. And many work throughout their lives to perfect the design of their dream house. But as people get older, their needs change. That’s why Mosby Building Arts, a resource for home remodeling in St. Louis for more than 65 years, is helping families to plan and design a space where they can age in place.

Jill Worobec, a designer and planner with Mosby, notes there is a trend toward more people desiring to age in place—remaining in the home where they have built memories through the years. Mosby can provide a remodel to make that happen, she says. “We go over their wishes and develop a plan for their future needs into a cohesive design. We can do the whole house or one room.”

To make a home safe and comfortable as its residents get older, Worobec says widening doorways, removing as many steps as possible, adding plenty of LED lighting, and installing hardwood flooring or

• ‌‌PERFECTLY YOU. This homeowner wanted an unobstructed view of the yard while she was doing her dishes. To achieve this, we provided a sink and dishwasher combo in the center island.

• C ‌ LEAN & CLEAR. Plenty of cabinet space, combined with a white palette, provide a clean, uncluttered look.

• ‌STYLE AT HOME. Many homeowners today are mixing casual beach or cottage-comfort styles with either contemporary or traditional details. Find what you love and make it your own!

—Jenny Rausch, Karr Bick Kitchen + Bath Other ways to enhance your kitchen: • ‌CUSTOM JOB. Painted cabinetry is a big trend now, but not something off the shelf. I’m doing a lot of custom colors; and even painting drawer boxes for a little surprise when you pull out the drawers.

• ‌COVERT OPERATIONS. Be creative with your storage. Go for something that doesn’t look typical—or doesn’t even look like storage.

• ‌B UBBLES, BUBBLES EVERYWHERE…Filtered water faucets have been around for years. Grohe has revolutionized its version by offering a carbonated-water option on its filter faucet (think Perrier!), reducing the need for fizzy bottled water in the home.

• ‌SUCH A SQUARE. Square-edge commercial-looking stainless steel kitchen sinks are hot, mostly in single-bowl models.

Julien sinks are found in many celebrity restaurants kitchens (think Nobu Matshisa!) and its Professional Chef series offers homeowners attractive, affordable models for home.

• ‌ONE-TOUCH SIMPLE. Touch faucets continue to gain in popularity. The ease of tapping your faucet to turn it on and off appeals to many people. Brizo is the market leader, and Moen has taken a different approach with a faucet you wave your hand in front of to activate the water.

• MAKE A MOSAIC. We’re seeing a lot of custom tile work, instead of off-the-shelf. People want something that’s different from the cultured marble nightmares of the ’80s and ’90s.

• DON’T BE A DRIP. If you’re going to remodel, remodel it right— don’t do it halfway. We team up with Schluter Systems to install a 100-percent waterproof membrane. It costs a little bit more, but if you put in a new bathroom, you don’t want to have to tear it out because it’s leaking. A hundred years ago, they were building rooms that still look good and function properly. With all of our technology, we should be able to do the same today.

• THINK AHEAD. If you think you’ll be in your home for many years to come, remodel with aging-in-place in mind. You can prep for grab bars, or build a curb-free shower.

• BEAUTY SECRET. Makeup looks different depending on the lighting. It’s possible to get a makeup table with lighting that will mirror what you’ll have at work, out at a club, or anywhere else

BY LISA WATSON you might go.

• SEE YOU AROUND. Curvature lines, along with natural materials, help enhance a spa-inspired look. Also, curves look best when the round features are repeated a few times in the space. Here, the curved shower wall is repeated in the glass and the ceiling.

• SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN. Rainhead showers continue to be popular.

However, make sure the showerhead will have enough pressure—if it’s just a light trickle, it might not be helpful in washing out your shampoo and conditioner. A lot of shower heads how have a fivefunction spray, so you can change from pulsating to massage, etc.

• A FRESH TOUCH. If you’re not redoing your entire bathroom, a fresh coat of paint and new towels can go a long way!

• UPSCALE UPDATES. To banish the styles of days gone by, all you need might just be a new countertop and updated hardware.

• SPICK AND SPAN. Make your bathroom feel fresh and new by adding wicker baskets. Good organization takes things to the next level.

• ‌‌B OLD BRILLIANCE. Bring in color in a bold way, whether that be a turquoise sofa, or a bold green wall, then layer neutrals around that statement hue.

• ‌COMFORT CHIC. Choose materials that are durable, and a style that is comfortable, while still being chic.

• ‌WARM WELCOME. Layer in color and styles of furniture and accessories that are both trendy and timeless given the current design climate; when you walk into a space that has been collected in a personal and professional way, you cannot help but feel welcome.

• ‌‌CALMING RETREAT. This master bedroom was designed to be a calming retreat with the look and feel of an upscale boutique hotel suite: luxurious, yet comfortable and classic.

—Jay Eiler, Castle Design

Other ways to enhance your master bedroom: Photo by Alise O’BRIEN; BEDROOM designed by Castle Design

• ‌PEACEFUL PARADISE. Clean lines and soft corners are in demand, from upholstered beds, round and oval tables, and softdown chaises, to light and natural layered fabrics.

• ‌PRIZED POSSESSION. Create a focal point with a treasured possession: the oil painting over the bed; and shining cut-crystal lamps and chandeliers can become art.

• ‌REST AND RELAXATION. A chaise provides a reading and relaxation nook.

—Jane Ganz, Directions in Design • ‌SWEET SERENITY. Soft colors and upholstered furniture are driving the master bedrooms of today.

• ‌PERFECT FIT. Credenzas versus the armoire are very popular with the flat-screen TV being placed above the cabinet; and bachelor chests versus the small nightstand flanking the bed also is a current trend.

• ‌BREATHING ROOM. The popularity of built-ins in the master closet has freed floor space for relaxing seating rather than multiple dressers and chests.

The Ultimate Outdoor Space

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

• ‌‌KEEP IT CONSISTENT. Many times, we’re asked to do outdoor areas where we get involved with everything— fireplace, hot tub, outdoor kitchen… It’s nice to have one designer or company design the whole thing. That way, you can use all the same stone for the entire area.

• ‌LIGHT UP THE NIGHT. The GloBrite LED pool lights shine really brightly; it’s more like a flashlight than a typical pool light. They can all be the same color, change colors,

44

July 4, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

or even rotate colors—you could get a little light show in your pool.

• ‌SALT-FRIENDLY. To me, it’s always better to use something natural, like salt, to kill bacteria. The metal on volleyball standards and basketball hoops used to corrode from the pool’s salt, but new this year are salt-friendly options.

- John Jacobsen, Liquid Assets

C onsignment

Other ways to enhance your outdoor space: • ‌G REEN TRENDS. Some current outdoor trends are: sustainable landscaping; planting for pollinators such as butterflies and bees; permeable pavers and rain gardens to help control water runoff; high-efficiency irrigation systems; organic turf care programs; and self-sustaining agriculture such as vegetable and herb gardens.

• ‌WATER AND LIGHT. Outdoor lighting can turn your home and garden into an entirely new setting at night, and water features add a great natural touch.

• ‌S IZZLING SUMMER. Especially in the heat of the summer, people tend to forget that their well-established plants—large trees and shrubs—also can benefit from being watered a couple times a week. The stress of the summer heat can lead to issues in the future.

• ‌TIE IN THE LANDSCAPING. If you’ve got a landscaper that you’ve traditionally used, bring him on board after the first few pool design concepts are out, and start opening that dialogue before the pool design is set in stone.

• ‌SURFACE PROTECTION. An important part of salt-water pools, from the maintenance standpoint, is to rinse the salt off the patio after you’ve swum. Don’t let that pool water evaporate on your furniture or water feature. Rinsing it off once a week would help with the longevity of everything in your backyard.

— Ray Holt, Baker Pool and Spa • ‌ARTFULLY INCLINED. I feel that art is very important when considering the design of your outdoor space. Art can be a lot of things, such as a unique pot or a sculptured boulder. One thing I consider art is plants that are unique and trimmed in different ways. For example, trees trimmed in the Hindu Pan style, such as a bonsai tree or some of the Chamaecyparis and Juniper trees we have here at the nursery.

• ‌M AINTAIN, MAINTAIN, MAINTAIN. Remember that some water features need to be winterized. Also, additional plant beds require the maintenance of fertilization, weeding and trimming to ensure the viability and the desired effect of newly installed plant material.

GAME ON!

S

Hangin’ Out with Mr. Cooper

BY FRANK CUSUMANO

O, THIS WAS THE SCENE: IN THE SPRING of 1986, Pattonville was hosting De Smet in the district final. De Smet led 2-1 in the sixth. There was a man on second and two outs.

De Smet elected to pitch to Scott Cooper, who had homered earlier in the game. Bad idea. Cooper hit the ball 400 feet on the track by the football field.

Pattonville won 3-2.

Cooper walked on water in high school: He was so good as a quarterback that he was offered scholarships to play at Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and UCLA. He averaged about 20 points and 10 rebounds a game as a basketball player. Basketball actually was his favorite sport, but baseball became his career. Cooper was picked in the second round by the Red Sox, and went on to become a two-time All-Star.

Now, the happily married father of two spends his life teaching the game. He coaches and helps to run the highly respected St. Louis Gamers program.

He also does individual hitting work daily at All-Star Performance. He spent eight spring trainings with Ted Williams. So, Cooper may know a thing or two about hitting the baseball.

Best all-time baseball moment: When I knew I was starting a game against the Yankees in 1991. Wade Boggs had a neck injury. The manager said, You are starting. It was the Sunday night game on ESPN. I remember calling home from the clubhouse phone to tell my mom and dad. I was listening to my dad’s voice and having memories of him watching me in Little League.

The scariest pitcher you ever faced: Randy Johnson—unfair. Boggs came back after striking out one time and said, We can’t hit him with a surf board.

Baseball heroes growing up: My dad, George Brett and Mike Schmidt.

Philosophy on working with kids: Maximize their development—whatever that ceiling may be, and use the platform I have to do it.

Most embarrassing moment on a field: I remember being in Triple A. The pitcher threw a curve ball that broke 4 feet. I took a swing as hard as I could, and it hit me right in the cup.

FIVE COOL THINGS TO DO IN TOWN THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE TRIED LATELY: 1. Go to Pole Position Raceway. These are not the go-karts you may have driven as a kid at the lake.

2. A trip to Fairmount Park for an evening with the ponies. It’s a classic, and there are some interesting people. And it’s always kind of a rush to bet $2 and win $20.

4. Go to a Gateway Grizzlies game. It’s not a stadium—it’s a ballpark. The hamburger in the middle of two Krispy Kreme doughnuts is something you may want to try, if you are daring.

5. PM BBQ. It doesn’t carry a big reputation like some of the places in town. It’s Division One—they know what they are doing.

Summer Movie Preview: Volume 2

As Above, So Below

Get On Up

IF I’M BEING INCREDIBLY OPTIMISTIC, I would say studios are opting for quality, not quantity, this summer. We shall see. Here’s what’s coming in July and August: July 2 Tammy I know. I’ve checked a dozen times. Where is the big Fourth-of-July, ‘America-Heck-Yeah,’ alieninvasion blockbuster? It’s just not there. Maybe Will Smith is working on some personal stuff. Maybe Tom Cruise scared everyone away from big-budget sci-fi films. Who knows? Instead, we have the offensive-looking Melissa McCarthy comedy that will apparently tell all of us just how much of this very funny lady we can tolerate.

Deliver Us from Evil This bright, festive holiday weekend may not be the season for a bone-chilling thriller, but rumors are rampant that this Eric Bana-helmed film, based on the memoir of a New York cop, may be the next Exorcist or Silence of the Lambs.

Begin Again This heart-melting drama follows a young musician (Keira Knightley) who finds herself alone and struggling in New York. When a down-onhis-luck promoter (Mark Ruffalo) discovers her singing in a bar, things take a turn.

July 11 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Here’s the big Fourth-of-July blockbuster. I guess someone needs a calendar. Gary Oldman and lots and lots of CGI apes star in the continuation of the remake of the saga.

And So It Goes Next in the genre I call the second-chanceromance—films with interchangeable titles about finding love later in life—comes And So It Goes.

Michael Douglas stars as a cantankerous realtor who enlists the help of a neighbor, played by Diane Keaton, to help him when he is unexpectedly tasked with taking care of his granddaughter.

July 18 Sex Tape Bad Teacher duo Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz team up again, this time playing a husband and wife who inadvertently upload a night of recorded passion. In my pick for the most idiotic premise of the summer, they go on a mission to delete their sex tape from the virtual world.

July 25 Lucy I can’t articulate the plot of this film, so I’m going to give you the official description: An action-thriller that tracks a woman (Scarlett Johansson) accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic. So, there you have it.

August 1 Get On Up Chadwick Boseman certainly doesn’t shy from a challenge. After taking on baseball legend Jackie Robinson in the wildly underrated 42, the actor will now step into the flamboyant role of the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. The summer release date sets off a few alarm bells, but if Boseman’s talent is any indication, this biopic should be a winner.

August 13 Let’s Be Cops Stars of TV’s New Girl, Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson, take asinine comedy to the big screen. I guess the title Just Shoot Me was taken.

August 15 The Expendables 3 How expendable can they be if this is the third movie?

The Giver Adapted from the quintessential middle-school summer reading assignment, The Giver is the

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER story of a boy living in a bland Utopia devoid of any extreme emotion. When he is selected for a special role in society, he begins to question the sacrifices being made for stability.

As Above, So Below This thriller explores the chilling secrets buried in the catacombs beneath Paris. I wouldn’t have mentioned it but for the fact that this movie has quite possibly the coolest poster of the year, so I thought it was worth a nod.

August 22 If I Stay A young woman struggling with the normal decisions of life is faced with a much more weighty struggle after an accident while on a family drive. This is looking to be the teen movie of the summer.

When the Game Stands Tall Despite having the worst title of any movie ever, this inspirational tale of a high-school football coach who turned a lackluster team into an unstoppable force shows promise.

August 27 November Man Pierce Brosnan may not have been the greatest James Bond ever, but he always picks good scripts. Here, he stars as a CIA operative hunting for the woman who is the key to an international conspiracy. It’s like Thomas Crowne and James Bond had a baby.

Kampai Sushi Bar

Satisfy Your Sushi Craving

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

KAMPAI SUSHI BAR IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES that sort of sneak up on you. Although it’s located in the bustling Central West End, the restaurant sits on a quiet, tree-lined street removed from the busy Euclid Avenue strip where most of the neighborhood’s high-profile eateries are, tucked next to an equally anonymous apartment building. But Kampai’s nondescript exterior houses some fine Asian cuisine, as we recently discovered.

The menu offers a wide assortment of entrees, from the Japanese standard Chicken Teriyaki to Korean dishes like Galbi (short ribs) and Bulgogi (marinated beef). There also are plenty of choices under the Sushi Bar Special Combo section. We were interested in trying a little bit of everything, and the Kampai combos fit the bill. We went with the mid-sized Kampai Combo B ($45), which consists of 12 pieces of assorted sashimi, including salmon and some really gorgeous tuna, eight pieces of nigiri sushi and two sushi rolls. In addition to being delicious, these combos are a good way to sample some high-quality sashimi and sushi at a really affordable price.

We were told that the sushi rolls would be chef’s choice, but we had spied a couple of rolls on the menu that we wanted to try and so substituted them in our combo. The aptly named Joy ($11) is basically a California roll (crab, avocado, cucumber) with torched salmon and crispy strands of potato chips on top; while the Caterpillar ($11) features eel, cucumber and crab, and is topped with slices of avocado, giving it the appearance of that many-legged insect. While sushi purists would most likely cringe at the liberties taken

with the Joy roll, we found it to be both tasty and inventive. The potato chip bits provided a good textural counterpoint to the other ingredients, while also making for a really attractive presentation. With their intricate arrangement of avocado slices, Caterpillar rolls always are a treat to look at, and the Kampai version is no exception. Aesthetics aside, the avocado also provided a mild sweetness that nicely complemented the eel and crab within.

One of our comfort foods has long been seaweed salad, and we can’t go to a Japanese restaurant without trying their version. The Kampai Seaweed Salad ($4) proved to be a solid, traditional take, with plenty of crunch and a mild seasoning of sesame and pepper.

There also are plenty of noodles on the Kampai bill of fare, and we sampled two: Soba ($11), thin spaghetti-like noodles made from buckwheat flour and served with a cold sauce; and Udon ($11), thick noodles served with a hot soy broth. While supremely simple on the surface, each dish was wellbalanced, and the noodles had just the right amount of ‘give,’ without being overly chewy or sticky.

In addition to all of the dinner selections, Kampai also has a lunch menu featuring bento boxes and smaller portions of some of the dinner items. Delivery is available, as well. The restaurant also opened a second location in Chesterfield not too long ago to make it easier for West County denizens to get in on the deliciousness.

ANSWERS ON PAGE 56

SKIN DEEP continued from page 28 Is soap dangerous to make if you don’t know what you’re doing?

It is, and that’s why a lot of people take classes when they try it for the first time. Lye is caustic and it will burn you—it hurts like heck. You have to use proper precautions; you have to respect it and know how to handle it. I was making beer soap—I add the beer to the lye because it makes a lot more lather. It’s sort of a novelty item, but men like it because of the good lather it creates.

Apparently, some of my beer wasn’t completely flat, because I added the lye and it was like those volcanoes you make as a kid! I had to jump out of the way real quickly and there was big cleanup job to do! So you do have to be careful.

What do you like most about having your own business?

My real goal was to have fun and do what I enjoy. I did love being a teacher and a principal, but you’re not autonomous—I am now and I love it. I really do like the farmers markets and craft fairs, because you can talk to people about life experiences and ask them what they like. To me, it’s such a pleasure to share it with people. There’s an airline stewardess who says the only thing she’ll use is my soap and deodorant. She looks me up whenever she’s here. It’s a full-time job, but it doesn’t feel like it: I work in the day or evening; whenever I can. And I turned my basement into a workshop, so I can roll out of bed and go to work!
