letter
from the
EDITOR UNFORTUNATELY, IN TODAY’S WORLD, IT SEEMS AS IF EACH OF us has been touched by cancer in one way or another – whether personally or with someone we love. In previous letters, I’ve shared stories about loved ones who have fought their own battles against cancer, and how scary and trying these times were for my family. Elizabeth Mannen, though, says cancer has given her “joie de vivre.” Mannen’s story, which is beautifully shared by LN contributing writer Alice Handelman, is nothing short of inspiring. A five-time cancer survivor, Mannen was given only six months to live after her first bout with ovarian cancer. Now, 26 years later, Mannen continues to focus on the positives in life while dedicating her time to helping others. We hope that you enjoy this remarkable story, which starts on p. 58, and that it inspires you to focus on the positives in life no matter what your current circumstances may be. All the best,
Alecia Humphreys

S
omething magical happens at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. At a moment in people’s lives when time seems frozen and worry is ever-present, young patients and their families discover a refuge focused on care at every level. “As a Catholic children’s hospital, faith is a big part of the healing process, from the person who smiles as you first walk through the doors to the physician who stays all night long by your hospital bed,” vice president of philanthropy Sandy Koller says. “We treat children of all faiths with something we think of as ‘the Glennon factor.’” That unique factor makes an impact at every level of care throughout the hospital – and even beyond. The SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation operates as the hospital’s backbone, delivering financial support so that it can focus on patient care, regardless of pay. The foundation is playing host to one of its biggest fundraising events of the year: The Glennon Glow. “The Glennon Glow benefits The Costas Center, which serves children with cancer and other blood disorders,” Koller explains. “We are renovating the
cancer inpatient unit, with plans to open in January. There will be larger rooms and private bathrooms. Parents often move in with kids sick for long periods of time, so we’ll have sleeper sofas in the rooms for them. Reading nooks, named after [the late former Glennon Guild president] Cindy Brooks, allow patients and parents to get away for a little bit.” Justin Willman, a nationally known magician and comedian, serves as the event’s emcee for yet another year. The host of the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars and frequent late-night television show guest promises an entertaining evening, with special guests, including comedian Tom Papa and NewsChannel 5 anchor Anne Allred, daughter of the 2017 Glennon Award recipient, Allen Allred. “Allen’s ability to rally the troops and community, to support the event and serve on committees has maintained the Bob Costas Benefit since it began in 1989. We attribute its success to Allen,” Koller states. She shares how the foundation is honoring other key contributors through the renovation process at the hospital. “We’ve had a lot of great supporters to whom we’ve shown appreciation,” Koller says. “We’re going
to have the Jason Motte Treatment Room, thanks to support from The Jason Motte Foundation. We named one wing after Matt and Leslee Holliday, which we presented to them this year at the Holliday’s Heroes event for Homers for Health.” Continual support helps the foundation and hospital to deliver that indescribable “Glennon factor.” “We have a lot of events throughout the year and always are looking for volunteers,” Koller encourages. “We just put on a new Sun Run this year, with 1,500 runners participating in the annual 5k and 1 mile fun run.” And we have a robust volunteer group called Glennon Rockstars.” The foundation and hospital continue to find better ways of serving the community. From providing the Shining Star School, where patients can do coursework and have access to teachers while being treated, to dance therapy, all of a family’s needs are met with a can-do attitude. That incredible drive paired with an atmosphere of healing fosters miracles – proving there truly is something magical about the work being done at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital.

tylish fall fashions were on display at the fifth anniversary of More Than a Fashion Show at Neiman Marcus in Plaza Frontenac. The event benefited the Midwest Children’s Burn Camp, the largest and most successful program of Burns Recovered. Kids attend the camp for a week, free of stares and stigma, and can be just kids. Guests at the Frontenac event enjoyed cocktails and “little bites” along with desserts from several local restaurants before hearing from camp alumni, as well as from future counselor Connor Holt and his mother. Then two managers from Neiman Marcus curated a fashion show full of fantastic ladies’ fall couture. Jill Malen, Judy Deutsch

I was very young when I was burned, and I first went to camp when I was 6, which for that time was young. Of course, now they take even younger kids. And that was 12 years ago. And really, it just helped me really get out of my shell because before that … I didn’t like talking to people because they would often ask me about my hand. I didn’t like talking about that at all. I had anger issues, and that really helped me get through that, and now it’s more so because I’m going to become a counselor in training soon. And it’s more so for me about seeing little kids go through that same experience [to] really grow.

TOMORROW’S MEDICINE, TODAY:
Carpal tunnel syndrome Hand numbness and tingling is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It often occurs from compression of a nerve near the neck or somewhere in the hand and arm. Patients with compression of a nerve often complain of: • Pain that wakes them at night • Difficulty holding a telephone to their ear • Worsening of symptoms when driving
• Weakness in grip • Frequent dropping of objects
Where to begin? Evaluation of a patient with the above symptoms begins with a careful physical exam. Often, additional tests are needed to more accurately diagnose the exact cause of the pain and numbness. This may include specialized studies to evaluate the nerves in the hand and arm. Common causes of nerve compression include carpal tunnel syndrome (nerve compression at the wrist) and cubital tunnel syndrome (nerve compression at the elbow). A variety of treatment options exist for treating carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes. These can range from wearing splints at night to modifying activities and work spaces and in some cases, steroid injections. When these measures fail, surgery may give substantial relief to patients with persistent symptoms. The need for and timing of surgery is tailored to each patient, but evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon is an important first step to establish the diagnosis and hopefully improve quality of life.

or the 13th annual Missouri Friends of Injured Marines Gen. James T. Conway Golf Outing, the weather was perfect and not as hot as in previous outings. Joining Cpl. Kyle Moser was a very special guest, 37th Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert B. Neller. Guests picked up bags of goodies, cigars and bloody marys as they checked in for the outing at The Country Club of St. Albans. A shotgun start on both courses followed, and guests enjoyed great golf until cocktails, dinner, and silent and live auctions that evening. The outing again benefited the Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund, which provides financial assistance and lifetime support for injured members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families during recovery and transition back home.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN
By Robyn Dexter As the cultural, political and economic center of Sweden, Stockholm is a bustling, ever-changing city. The city’s nearly 1 million residents call their home “beauty on water,” as the capital sprawls across 14 islands. The area has been settled since the Stone Age and was founded as a city in 1252 by a Swedish statesman. Stockholm’s metropolitan area is one of the fast-growing regions of Europe, with a flourishing population expected to hit 2.5 million by 2024. Bring a Swedish feel to your abode with these three home décor items, inspired by the historic Nordic culture. The intricacies of Swedish lace designs are reimagined in precious metals so they feel timeless and today. Hand-applied gold/ silver leaf on Somerset Velvet paper is featured in this floating mount. The frame, a thick acrylic box with round edges, is as sublime as the art. $2,250, available at Jonathan Adler (jonathanadler.com)

Family Room – Lower Level Designers: ruth nowlin anD linDa williams of Dau Furniture Comfort is the name of the game in the family room in the home’s lower level. Designers Ruth Nowlin and Linda williams of Dau Furniture worked on that room, aiming for a 1960s and 1970s vibe while keeping the design practical for modern living. The room centered on a retro hue that’s currently back in style: orange.
Dau Furniture, 15424 Manchester Road, ellisville, 636-394-3005, daufurniture.com
Medium wood tones, glass and metals appear throughout the room.
“we selected the sectional with chaise to provide comfortable seating in which to relax while unwinding with a movie,” williams says. “we also added a table and stools for a place to eat or play a game while still being able to view the Tv."
Additional vibrant colors used in accent pillows and art complement the strong presence of orange. “The orange retro-textured rug provides the foundation and personality for the scheme,” Nowlin says.

Powder Room D e s i g n e r : A m y H e r m A n o f b ro o k s b e r ry k i t c h e n s a n d b at h s In a home with so many natural elements, the powder room simply didn’t fit. Amy Herman of brooksBerry Kitchens and Baths says the original contemporary design and lack of lighting were her main struggles. “I’m trying to be extremely mindful of the overall aesthetic of the house,” she says. “I knew our changes were going to make a big impact.”

A large, ornate mirror replaced the plain circular one previously used in the room.
Metallic accents in mixed metals appear throughout the space, from the faucet and hand-towel holder to the mirror and light fixture.
A cold european wall-mount toilet was replaced with something more fashionable.

Guest Bedroom D e s i g n e r : D Av i D D e At H e r A g e o f dav i d d e at h e r ag e d e s i g n “The [guest room] has beautiful light and a gorgeous view of the backyard,” says designer David Deatherage of David Deatherage Design, noting his overall theme for the space was chic, relaxed elegance. The room provided a few challenges, though, including a tight turn to enter the space. This physically limited the pieces Deatherage could bring into the room, and he instantly excluded the canopy bed he originally considered using.

“The vintage lacquered chests are most of the primary source of color in the room – they are tones of sea-glass blue and green,” Deatherage says.
A duchesse brisée (a type of chaise lounge) upholstered in zebra and cowhide adds an element of the exotic.
Lucite lamps add glitz and glamour without bringing additional colors into the space.

GROOMING & GLAMOUR
The
Professional By Amanda Dahl
T
he professional never bothers with the snooze button. Once your alarm sounds each day, you hit the floor running. That’s because you’ve got business to take care of, networking to do and deals to make. Your finesse not only defines how you operate but also shows from your sleek façade down to the quick work you make of a firm handshake. Whether you are on the rise or already running an empire, you like to keep your appearance immaculate – without wasting precious time. Build an arsenal of grooming products as unstoppable as you, so you can seize the day, night – and all those hours in-between. 1. You’re at it at all hours. Make sure that lack of sleep never shows when you use ELEMIS ProCollagen Marine Cream for Men. Rub the antiaging product across your face and neck before bed and again during your morning routine – and tired
skin won’t get the time of day. Available for $80 at ELEMIS (elemis.com/us).
2. You prefer a clean look. Cut it close with The Art of Shaving’s Stainless Steel 5/8” Blade Straight Razor for a stubble-free chin. Then, slap on Kingsman: The Golden Circle Bourbon Shave Collection After-Shave Balm to maintain moisture. Celebrating the recent movie release, the cask-aged bourbon-inspired scent suggests the spirits of chivalry and tradition. Straight razor available for $195 and after-shave for $55 at The Art of Shaving (theartofshaving.com). 3. Evolve your strength with a fragrance that suggests no limitations. L’Envol de Cartier Eau de Toilette for Men does just that by encouraging you to climb to new heights, with an airy aroma that incorporates honey and musk. Available for $132 at Nordstrom (nordstrom.com).

or men on a mission to find the perfect-fitting wardrobe for everyday life, from work to special occasions to outdoor adventures, Bonobos menswear company offers a “guideshop” with one-on-one personalized attention to achieve that goal. The Bonobos guideshop, which opened in late August in Maryland Plaza in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood, aims to deliver the ultimate menswear shopping experience. When customers walk into the stylish, modern men’s apparel store, they are greeted by a “guide” – a trained personal stylist to assist in outfitting them in everything from casual clothing to athletic attire and formalwear, explains St. Louis guideshop manager Brittany Jones. “You can try on anything you like and have a cold beverage while you shop around in an easygoing, yet professional environment,” Jones says, noting that the guideshop specializes in personalized fitting and styling. “The knowledgeable guide will walk you through the entire Bonobos line and help you find your perfect fit.” The guide will then place your order to be shipped directly to your home or office, so the customer walks out hands-free from the shop. The St. Louis venture is one of more than 40 guideshops that Bonobos has opened across the nation since 2011. At its beginning, Bonobos had two goals: to create better-fitting pants and to offer an easier shopping experience for men. Founded by two Stanford University business students, Andy Dunn and Brian Spaly, the company launched in 2007 as an exclusively online retailer. Spaly has since left the company. Today, the New York-based men’s apparel company has expanded from offering perfect-fitting pants online to designing and selling a full line of men’s clothing and accessories across all of its guideshops, answering its customers’ call to “try before they buy.” Bonobos’ unique guideshop concept sets it apart from typical clothing retailers, Jones notes. The company’s menswear is available in a range of different sizes and cuts. Their order selections are then shipped to them in two to three business days. Items are not physically tailored in the shop; rather, a guide helps determine each client’s best fit among Bonobos’ wide range of cuts and sizes, Jones explains. “We make sure customers understand our concept upfront,” she says. “We are a friendly, quick and knowledgeable [staff], and here, we are all about customer service.” Customers can log onto the Bonobos website to schedule a 30-minute or hourlong appointment or simply pop into the shop during regular store hours, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. As weekends typically are busy at the guideshop, making an appointment is recommended. For fall, the St. Louis guideshop has unveiled Bonobos’ new high-end line of 100 percent Italian wool suiting in multiple patterns, complete with complementary ties and pocket squares. The suits are sold as separates, so customers can achieve their best fit for both the blazers and trousers, Jones notes, adding that tuxedos also are available in the “groomshop” section of the store. This season’s new casual clothing includes Bonobos’ denim, cashmere sweaters, dress shirts, jackets and coats, as well as accessories such as belts and beanies. And the company’s signature chino pants are available in a variety of colors, two styles – casual and dressy – and four fits: athletic, tailored, straight and slim. In addition to formalwear and casual clothing, the guideshop offers activewear, including golf attire, performance T-shirts, running shorts, basketball shorts, track pants and athletic tights. Since the guideshop’s opening this summer, St. Louis has welcomed its innovative concept and quality menswear, Jones says. “Clients love the one-on-one personalized shopping experience,” she notes. “Many are familiar with the brand but have never had the opportunity to visit a guideshop. They’re excited to fully experience a shop so close to home.” The St. Louis guideshop is excited to offer 20 percent off a purchase to first-time customers, Jones says, adding that even more specials are in store on a visit to Bonobos. “Come in and meet us,” she urges potential customers. “We’ll help you find your perfect fit.”

MICHAEL AHRENS & PATRICIA DURAN Michael Charles Ahrens married Patricia (Trish) Bannon Duran on April 22 in a ceremony at Ladue Chapel. A reception followed at Forest Park Visitor’s Center in the Trolley Room, where guests enjoyed dinner and dancing. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur and Kathleen Ahrens of St. Louis. Brian Lihs, a friend from college and former roommate, served as best man. Groomsmen included Eric Barber, Douglas Chod and Benjamin Duran. The ring bearer was Thomas Duran. Michael is a financial analyst for Exxon-Mobil. The bride is the daughter of Mr. Troy Duran and Ms. Stephanie Duran. Amber Schaefer, a childhood friend, served as maid of honor. Bridesmaids included Claire Tichenor, Elle Kekec and Madeline Bishop. Trish is a fifth-grade math teacher for the Lumberton, Texas, school district. On the morning of their nuptials, rain greeted the couple, but luckily stopped by the time the wedding party left for pictures. The ceremony began just as sun streamed through the church windows. Fortuitously, Michael and Trish recessed to the planned music of “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles. The couple honeymooned in Great Exuma of the Bahamas, with a chance to swim with the pigs. They now reside in Beaumont, Texas.

Root Vegetable-Ale Stew
Story, recipe and photography by Sherrie Castellano
O
n a chilly fall day, few things can comfort us more than a piping hot bowl of soup – except maybe soup made with beer. If you’ve never experimented with cooking with beer, this recipe should help you ease into doing so. This root vegetable stew, which is cooked with ale to add flavor and complexity, comes together in just 30 minutes, but tastes as if it’s simmered on the stove all day. Use carrots, parsnips, turnips and golden beets or any other root vegetables you like. Red beets instead of golden beets, sweet potatoes instead of carrots, russet potatoes instead of parsnips – only your imagination limits ingredient combinations for this stew.

Happily Ever After
Sky
AND THE GOTTSCHALK FAMILY By Robyn Dexter
ONCE UPON A TIME, SKY, A 1-YEAR-
“On day four, I came into the living room, and she was standing up and wagging in her kennel.” Sky continued to improve, and two months into the fostering process, Gottschalk knew she couldn’t part with Sky and adopted her officially. Nearly two years later, the pup has completely come out of her shell. Sky expends her energy going on long walks, playing Frisbee and romping with her golden retriever sibling and the neighbor dogs. She’s been swimming, paddleboarding and canoeing. “When you put the time and energy into pets, it all comes back to you,” Gottschalk says. “We are just so in love with her. She’s come a long way.”
old border collie, refused to eat ... She was depressed. Tammy Gottschalk had been volunteering for the Animal Protective Association of Missouri (APA) for years, often fostering kittens. One day, in an APA foster Facebook group, Gottschalk saw Sky. “It sounded like she was shutting down,” Gottschalk says. She stopped by on a Friday in January 2016 and inquired about the border collie she’d seen online. The dog was still at APA, and desperately needed more attention. Gottschalk took Sky home and tried to get the pup to eat “basically everything in the fridge.” After Gottschalk scrambled some eggs for Sky, she ate a few tiny bites – the beginning of her recovery. “Days went by, and I could get her to eat the tiniest bite of chicken or a little bit of cheese,” Gottschalk says.

Survivor
A
and “Thriver”
By Alice Handelman Photo by Sarah Conroy
ElizabEth MannEn, Managing dirEctor of invEstMEnts at MannEn financial group and fivE-tiME cancEr survivor, has lEd an inspiring lifE.
E
lizabeth Mannen was 26 years old when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. “It was a very difficult time for me,” she says. “I was single, living in Jackson Hole [Wyoming] and away from my family. All my friends were getting married and having babies when the doctors gave me six months to live. It was quite the juxtaposition for me. Thankfully, I found physicians who gave me great care and were willing to offer more positive odds.” Twenty-six years later, Elizabeth Mannen calls herself a “thriver.” Thriving on her positive thinking and upbeat attitude, Mannen has survived three separate ovarian cancer battles and two against breast cancer, and is now in remission. Never wanting others to feel sorry for her contributed to Mannen’s dedication to making a difference in the lives of others. “We all have cancer – your cancer might be taking care of a parent in hospice or living in a home where you don’t feel safe,” she says. “We all have crosses to bear; mine are no heavier than anyone else’s. The difference is that mine have a scarier name. In reality, cancer has given me a lot more than it has taken. It has given me a great perspective and courage and has taught me how to accept and not just give. It has taught me how to be patient and realize that I am not in charge. Cancer has given me my joie de vivre.” Mannen was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia and graduated from both Cornell University, where she studied economics and Japanese and was a member of the swim team, and Ithaca College, where she majored in music and communications and played the viola in its symphony orchestra. She is fluent in four languages including Japanese, and she worked in Japan for five years after graduation. “It was during the time that many people felt Japan was going to take over the world; I wanted to be in the middle of it,” she says. “When I became frustrated with ageism, sexism and xenophobia there, I decided it was time to move to Jackson Hole and be a ski bum for a year. I have always loved the Wild West and its wide-open spaces.” In Jackson Hole, she started a business that exported western goods to Japan. All went well for a year, until she began feeling ill. “It took five different doctors to diagnose my ovarian cancer,” she says. “During the process of surgery, I realized that I needed to sell the business. But I also realized that I needed to do something besides watch my hair fall out. I looked for a part-time job and answered an ad for a file clerk job at A.G. Edwards [now Wells Fargo]. That’s what led me to my career, my husband, my children and the past 27 years in St. Louis.” Today at 52, Mannen is managing director of investments at the Mannen Financial Group, a wealth-management group of Wells Fargo Advisors in Clayton. She is listed on Forbes’ list of America’s Top Women Wealth Advisors. Mannen manages $346 million in total assets. “I love what I do,” she says. “I am passionate about making a difference in people’s everyday lives. I believe that what I do as a financial professional is a noble calling. I say that because I’m dealing with one of the things most people hold in high esteem in their lives. People treasure their family, friends, health and wealth. I help them with their wealth and sit in a privileged spot. There’s a great reverence in that, and I don’t take it lightly. When I go to work each day, it never feels like work. I am there to listen, understand and solve problems. I help people understand how decisions made today will affect your tomorrow.” Aside from her day job, Mannen has many other passions. “Music is vitally important to me,” she says. “It’s an expression of who we are. Music is a healer and an inspiration; it’s my muse and is central to every part of my life.” Serving as a trustee of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, she believes music is the great
equalizer. In St. Louis, she has played her viola with different chamber groups and quartets for various events. Mannen says she likes “anything live” and has season tickets to jazz, country, opera, rock, indie and alternative music events. “Any kind of live expression makes my soul sing.” To that end, it’s not surprising that Mannen was selected two years ago to be a member of the steering committee and to serve as honorary chair for Sing for Siteman, an annual musical evening each June that raises funds to benefit the Siteman Cancer Center. “It’s such an impressive event because of the passion of the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis singers,” she says. “Their talent is incredible, and the venue is outstanding. I love the fact that all monies raised stay in St. Louis for research.” Passionate about the causes she serves, Mannen was honored as a St. Louis Woman of Achievement in May. “Through my challenges in life, volunteering has always helped me get through difficulties,” she says. “My motto is ‘When I feel low, I go.’ I enjoy going and being of service to others.” During her years at Wells Fargo, she has been an active participant in its corporate philanthropy efforts. She helped lead the charge for the United Way campaign six times and provided leadership for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure for the five years that Wells Fargo was the presenting sponsor. She was also instrumental in starting a mentoring program in the Saint Louis Public Schools for Wells Fargo employees. Her charitable and civic boards and foundations have included the Missouri Baptist Hospital Foundation, Marian School for Girls, Lydia’s House, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness and the Berges Family Foundation, which she helped create in 2013 and for which she’s the managing trustee. She’s also a proud leadership giver for many nonprofits. She sees - ElizabEth MannEn herself as a connector, bringing people, resources or dollars to each organization she serves. Her hobbies include bird hunting, fly-fishing, running, riding bikes and horses, golfing and traveling internationally. She also speaks to new graduating classes about her unique life challenges and accomplishments, and she has been read or heard nationally in Barron’s magazine, The Wall Street Journal, NPR and CNBC. “If you get up every day and believe it will be a better day, you will get where you want to go,” Mannen says. “If you have people who believe in you, it certainly helps your future. I was a file clerk, and my superiors recognized that I had potential and stewarded me along the way. Today, I have more wonderful mentors in St. Louis. I have always had the great fortune to be surrounded by quality individuals in both my work and personal environment and am proud to give back to others. Whether at work, at home or as a volunteer, I want to make a difference in other people’s lives. That’s what keeps me motivated.”
If you get up every day and believe it will be a better day, you will get where you want to go.

ALM Health in Ladue operates on a mission to promote health, proactively prevent lifestyle and stress-related disorders, amplify therapeutic results and cultivate well-being for members, employees and the community. The facility brings together a wide spectrum of medicine and wellness professionals to care for the mind, body and spirit all under one roof. Two members of the PALM Health team work on treating individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. Dr. Sita Kedia, PALM Health’s chief medical officer and a neurologist, and Ashley Wiegand, a neurotherapist and licensed marriage and family therapist, work closely with ADHD and neurotherapy patients. Kedia defines ADHD as a neurobiological disorder of executive functioning where patients may have difficulty inhibiting their behaviors, focusing, as well as regulating themselves. “There are two predominant subtypes: inattentive and hyperactive,” she says. “At PALM, we look at it from a whole-person approach. We step back and look at all the factors that could possibly be affecting that individual, whether there are genetic factors, social factors … even diet and nutrition. We look
62
for the root causes and contributing factors of the symptoms.” PALM Health has a multidisciplinary team composed of physicians, counselors, therapists and psychiatrists who help tailor an individual’s treatment based on what factors are most prevalent for him or
her. One such treatment is neurofeedback. Wiegand says neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback, a form of behavior therapy that can facilitate self-regulation of one’s physiology. Neurofeedback is learning self-regulation of one’s brain wave patterns, which correlate with brain function. Using sensors on the scalp, an individual

can be rewarded with positive feedback for certain shifts in his or her brain waves. “ADHD can be difficult to diagnose,” Wiegand says. “However, there’s a specific brain wave marker. Approximately 90 percent of the cases where people have had ADHD, they’ve had the marker. Ninety-four percent of those who don’t have [ADHD] don’t have the marker.” To help diagnose disorders like ADHD, anxiety and concussions, PALM Health has an assortment of practitioners all in one place. “We work together in a collaborative nature in coordinating care for individuals so they don’t have to go to multiple providers,” Wiegand says. “Some come here for medical care; some have made PALM their gym. Individuals can take different avenues to best take care of their health.” PALM hosts educational seminars each month. Next month’s seminar is Neurofeedback: Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD, Concussion, Anxiety and Other Mood Disorders. The seminar, designed for parents, teachers and counselors, is scheduled from 6:00-7:00 p.m. on November 2. It is free of charge and also open to the general public.

The full-service restaurant fills the approximately 3,000-square-foot space previously occupied by Kim Son Seafood, with a capacity for around 200 guests. Nautical décor adorns the room, from the fishnet-covered entryway to seaside-style posts in the dining area, which guests can embellish with their own signatures. From the menu, guests can build their own meals by selecting options from three categories: proteins, among them Dungeness crab, lobster, king crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, clams and mussels; sauces, among them Cajun, lemon-pepper, garlic and “the whole shabang” (sic), a combination of all three; and finally, a spice level ranging from nonspicy to extra-hot. “We’re getting seafood from Louisiana, Gulf oysters and New Zealand clams and mussels. There’s a fresh shipment every day,” Valera says. And who
wouldn’t enjoy fresh seafood before (please pardon the pun) catching Tuesdays With Morrie from The New Jewish Theatre? Beyond the preceding dishes, combo deals come with corn, potatoes and sausage. Appetizers and sides include raw oysters, chicken wings or tenders, fried catfish, fried shrimp, gumbo, garlic French bread, steamed rice and more. To drink, The Mad Crab offers soda, tea, lemonade and buckets of domestic and imported beer. “Honestly, I thought we opened too early and wanted to be better prepared, but hearing people in St. Louis saying that we opened too late has made this so exciting and enjoyable,” Valera says. “They were waiting for this, and we brought it to them.”

his past summer, University City welcomed a family-owned seafood eatery, The Mad Crab, whose menu spotlights boiled seafood shaken with house-made sauces and served directly from the bag. “It’s like Louisiana-style – with paper on the tables – but with a bit of West Coast flavor,” says consultant Chris Valera, who hails from Dallas. “It’s not just Cajun spice. There’s more garlic, more butter and chef’s special sauce. You eat right out of the bag with your hands using bibs and gloves.” The crab-tivating concept comes from brothers and first-time restaurateurs Victor and Nam Ho, who come from a background of running local nail salons and beauty-supply stores. Valera says The Mad Crab was inspired by similar-style restaurants in Victor Ho’s current home in Dallas, including Hot N Juicy Crawfish.

Tuesdays With Morrie
Story: It’s been 16 years since renowned sports columnist Mitch Albom has contacted Morrie Schwartz, his sociology professor at Brandeis University. Albom had taken as many classes taught by Schwartz as he could before graduating and moving to New York City to pursue a career as a jazz pianist. That dream changed abruptly when Albom’s beloved uncle, near whose family Albom lived as a young pianist, died at age 42 of pancreatic cancer. Albom quit playing music, went to graduate school to study journalism and became a noted columnist in Detroit, covering the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Olympics and other major sporting events. One night while channel-surfing, he sees Schwartz being interviewed by Ted Koppel on the ABC late-night news program Nightline. Schwartz is suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease (also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS) and caught the attention of Koppel when a friend of the professor sent Schwartz’s aphorisms about living and dying to the newsman. Albom calls Schwartz out of the blue and is immediately recognized by the professor, who enjoyed being called “Coach” by his gifted student. The columnist flies to Massachusetts on a Tuesday to visit Schwartz, and after some awkward moments caused by the younger man’s impatience and self-absorption, he continues weekly visits as Schwartz physically deteriorates from the ravages of the disease. Schwartz’s mind and heart, though, remain as vibrant as ever as he teaches his greatest lesson to Albom. Highlights: The New Jewish Theatre begins its 21st season with an affecting rendition of the bestselling book, anchored by an endearing performance by Jim Anthony – the amiable professor – and Andrew Michael Neiman as his tempestuous, but ultimately loyal, student. Other Info: Albom co-wrote this one-act, 75-minute stage adaptation of his memoir of the same title with Jeffrey Hatcher in 2002, five years after the book was published. The current production utilizes a clever set designed by Christie Johnston, who focused on an off-kilter bookcase in Morrie’s den. The one-room scenic design is accentuated with props such as a black rotary phone provided by Sarah Azizo. “You and my wheelchair are the newest things in this room,” says Schwartz with a smile at one point to Albom. In the background is an image of barren trees until the final scene, when shedding leaves are shown, all carefully illuminated by lighting designer Michael Sullivan. A piece of furniture, which doubles as a piano where Neiman sits to emulate Jeffrey Carter’s musical recordings, in addition to a bed, a coffee table and a couple of chairs fill out the set. Amanda Werre adds a complementary sound design, while Michele Friedman Siler’s costumes effectively
delineate Schwartz’s steadily declining condition. Director Anna Pileggi shrewdly incorporates the breadth of the stage to show, at first, the chasm between Albom and Schwartz, then allows their distance to shrink as the young man slowly begins to appreciate the wisdom of his mentor. Pileggi also beautifully juxtaposes Neiman at the piano at stage right with Anthony rendering Schwartz’s omnipresent dance moves at stage left. Anthony crafts a remarkable and ingratiating performance as the afflicted Schwartz, who won’t allow the limitations of his body to conquer his lifeaffirming spirit. He delivers Schwartz’s sage advice and observations not in condescension, but with understanding and tenderness; he also shares an affecting chemistry with Neiman as the obstinate Albom, all the while subtly conveying the older man’s decline. Neiman demonstrates the explosive nature of Albom’s capricious personality, showing how the wealthy, famous writer won’t let go of injustices he believes were inflicted on him, simultaneously oblivious to the terminal condition of his partner in conversation. While Neiman convincingly conveys the younger man’s eventual understanding of and appreciation for what his mentor has accomplished in dying as well as in living, it comes across just a bit too conveniently for a writer who’s driven to extremes in his quest to be the best, regardless of the price. That attitude is salvaged somewhat, however, by an endearing final scene. There’s much to admire in this presentation of Tuesdays With Morrie, which has a message worth hearing any day of the week.

trio of curious kids who traverse a variety of settings, discovering differently shaped and colored trees and leaves along the way. Reminiscent of Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury’s We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, a modern classic (and preschool rhyme), We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt features a familiar refrain that children should delight in repeating, as well as fun onomatopoeic words to be enjoyed by all.

To celebrate Ready Readers’ 20th anniversary, St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson and St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger announced the initiative’s launch in September – because, to quote the initiative’s tagline, “A St. Louis That Reads Together Succeeds Together”!

bare tree all the more spectacular. Fletcher and the Falling Leaves gently provides an opportunity for parents to share in the wonder and curiosity of their always-observant children. Using this story to open conversations about seasonal change and how it affects our world can ably lay a foundation for later science learning. As another valuable addition to your bookshelf this season, consider We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger and illustrator Miki Sakamoto. This charming story invites children and parents alike to explore the leafy treasures literally falling around us in autumn. Sakamoto’s watercolors depict a cheerful

utumn often fascinates children, as they notice the changes taking place in nature. The season also may prompt them to pose even more questions than usual when leaves turn brown and fall from trees. Such extra questions may hint at hidden worries resembling those suffered by a young fox in Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson and illustrator Tiphanie Beeke. Fletcher has spent his brief life marveling at the vibrant world around him, so when he notices the browning and falling leaves of his favorite tree, the sight troubles him. As the days pass and more leaves fall, Fletcher scurries about, collecting them and trying to reattach them to now-bare branches. His anxiety only grows as he sees other forest animals “stealing” fallen leaves for unknown purposes. Rawlinson’s text captures a youngster’s confusion and fascination with nature’s changes – something adults sometimes take for granted. Beeke’s illustrations, meanwhile, set a seasonal tone, with muted oranges, reds, golds and browns taking the lead for most of the story – making the reveal of a shimmering icicle-covered

Swirling ng Colors, Whirling Whirli ng Shapes
By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos supplied
COCA enters its fourth decade with a characteristic blitz of glitz.
P
icture a kaleidoscope, a light-enlivened swirl of colors and whirl of shapes. Then picture a kaleidoscope the size of a community – and doing so will position you to envision the mind-boggling exuberance debuting a week from today at COCA-Center of Creative Arts. COCA’s website states it “strives to provide the highest quality arts instruction, exemplify social and artistic diversity, offer hands-on experiences and promote economic and cultural accessibility.” Now entering its 31st year, the center similarly seeks “to enrich lives and build community through the arts” with programs that “encourage people to see, think and express themselves in new ways,” also according to the website. COCA dubs itself both “the largest multidisciplinary arts institution in St. Louis” and “the fourth-largest nonprofit community arts center in the country,” and purports to “annually serve more than 50,000 people of all ages, ability levels and backgrounds.” LadueNews.com | october 13, 2017

This coming COCA Presents season, which runs Oct. 20 through July 28, would tend to support all of that, with offerings ranging from productions of The Wiz – the 1974 musical reimagining of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum’s beloved 1900 children’s novel – to a visit from New York City’s famed American Ballet Theatre [ABT] Studio Company. It also marks the last such season involving the COCA Founders’ Theatre as a performance venue, prior to what sounds like an extensive structural expansion scheduled to start early next year. “We begin planning our seasons two years in advance,” says Kelly Pollock, the center’s executive director, in reflecting on such a diversified bill. “For original COCA productions or large community collaborations, the lead time’s even longer. This season, for example, we began conversations with American Ballet Theatre several years ago about bringing in the Studio Company for its first visit to St. Louis. “We also like to build in other ways to engage the community into our performances – be it a special reception, an opportunity to meet the artists or residencies in schools – so that takes some extra coordination. When ABT is in town, they will be conducting master classes for COCA’s students, as well as doing some work in the community with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis via [the New York troupe’s] Project Plié program – a comprehensive initiative to increase racial and ethnic representation in ballet and diversify America’s ballet companies.” Referring with pride to “a stellar artistic team,” Pollock names Antonio and Kirven Douthit-Boyd, COCA’s co-artistic directors of dance, and Shawna Flanigan, its director of arts education, as “the primary drivers behind selecting and/or conceiving of the performances that are a part of our season.” She then briefly reflects on what feature of the new season proved the most difficult – and what seemed easiest. “Our biggest challenge is always finding a good balance between presented shows and our own productions, and finding just the right early childhood opportunities to introduce our very youngest patrons to the joy of live theater,” Pollock k lloc says. “The easiest part? Definitely deciding to continue to feature our students in various o P Kelly ways throughout the season. They are amazingly talented, the heart and soul of COCA, and showing them off is a given!” A measure of sadness surrounds the coming season, Pollock admits, with the superannuation of the COCA Founders’ Theatre after three decades, following the finale of the Momentum production next January. In reflecting on that change, she refers to the center’s founding in the previously vacant B’nai Amoona Synagogue, whose historic significance has earned it a listing in the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places. “It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the COCA Founders’ Theatre,” Pollock says. “It’s served us extremely well, and not many people can say they’ve produced countless performances in the former sanctuary of an architecturally significant synagogue! “However, my excitement about what’s to come definitely outweighs the sadness. We’ve outgrown our current theater, and it has some technical limitations which have stopped us from producing or presenting some things we’ve wanted to over the years. It’s time to give our performers and the St. Louis community the gift of a brand-new, beautiful, state-of-the-art theater.” That new theater, she continues, will adjoin the historically significant structure, replacing an addition from earlier in the millennium, and will mark just one part of a $40 million project. “We’ll also be adding more than 8,000 square feet of new studio space, a performance lab, new visual arts studios, an expanded lobby and community commons space,” Pollock says. “Additionally, a portion of the money raised will go toward building up COCA’s endowment and reserves.” Pollock herself is approaching the end of her second decade with COCA. Previously the nonprofit’s general manager and then director of development, she’s served COCA almost 20 years, the past seven in her current capacity. In that light, Pollock pauses to reflect on what she personally regards as highlights of COCA’s history. “There have been so many memorable moments,” she says. “Every day, I still come through the front doors and think about what a privilege it is to work at a place like COCA. For me, it always comes back to the students and the lives changed by COCA. “We’re very intentional about breaking down barriers so that everyone, regardless of financial means, can have access to the arts. Each year, we provide $1 million in scholarships, support services and programs to students in need both in our studios and in school classrooms around St. Louis.” She and COCA’s staff scarcely take their duties lightly, Pollock continues. “This access is critical, because learning in the arts changes the trajectory of a young person’s life,” she concludes. “Human creativity is absolutely a competitive advantage in today’s world. And we know that arts education develops that creativity. It develops makers, inventors, problem solvers – and kids who know how to persevere, how to empathize and how to work with people who may not look or think like them. “So the status quo is not an option for us. There’s simply too much unrealized potential in the young people of this community. We have ambitious plans to support COCA’s growth and demand. Our vision is to make St. Louis – and really the entire region – a place that’s more creative, connected and inclusive.”
