8th Annual

Stan MuSial Hall of fame Gala January 23 | 6:00 p.m. | Four Seasons Hotel

Every day, Covenant House Missouri works to empower youth who are disconnected from our community, helping them design their own path

from homelessness to opportunity. The open intake agency is committed to providing help and hope to young people ages 16 to 21 through integrated programs that focus on the complex needs of this population. Services include mental health, education, employment and life skills, which together make Covenant House Missouri a place of home and direction for young people who are at risk.

Join honorary chair William Hayes of the St. Louis Rams and co-chairs Cheryl and Jon Nienas for the eighth annual Stan Musial Hall of Fame Gala 6 p.m. Jan. 23 at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown St. Louis. The elegant evening includes a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions, Fund-A-Youth, and presentation of the Hall of Fame and Beacon of Hope awards.

The Stan Musial Hall of Fame Award recognizes a youth who is an alumnus of Covenant House Missouri and has demonstrated several of the qualities Stan Musial was famous for, including self-discipline, consistency, excellence and treating others with respect and dignity. The youth awardee has accomplished goals set while at CHMO, established stable housing. and is successfully on his or her path to independence.

Lillian Musial was always a voice in the community for Covenant House Missouri. Her quiet dignity and selfless love of children are qualities CHMO honors through the Lillian Musial Beacon of Hope Award. This award recognizes an individual or individuals who have had a profound impact on Covenant House Missouri and have embodied Lillian Musial’s spirit of selfless giving.

A variety of distinctive items and experiences will be part of the event’s live auction. The Fund-A-Youth initiative encourages guests to raise their paddles in support of the young people who are currently receiving Covenant House Missouri’s services on their road to independence.

“There is no way to calculate the benefit the Musial family has brought to Covenant House Missouri through the years,” says executive director Suzanne Wagener.

“Lillian and Stan Musial helped shine a light on the issue of teen homelessness, and we continue to honor their impact as we implement our innovative three-year strategic plan. It includes moving to a growth mindset, creating an evidencebased residential model of trauma-informed care, and redesigning our teaching approach for youth based on their various learning styles.”

CONTRIBUTORS

from the editor's desk I wouldn’t be surprised if many New Year’s resolutions included something about ‘becoming more involved,’ whether with family members, friends, charities, faith communities, work colleagues or all of the above. We have a special feature coming up soon about team-building in local businesses; I love the concept because it’s ‘mandatory’—no excuses for opting out of, say, the office happy hour if the invite comes straight from the top.

Mandatory or not, involvement is a big positive, even though you may be forcing yourself to go at first. For one thing, you get to see colleagues in a totally different light, away from deadlines and petty frustrations. It’s hard not to enjoy yourself when there’s food and drink involved, not to mention things like bowling, volleyball, charitable volunteering or Spinning class (well, maybe not that one). And ‘extracurriculars’ bring people together: the team that plays together is more likely to stay together. I’ve never regretted any office happy hour or party I attended, and I’m a teetotaler!

Then there’s the health aspect. I heard recently on a CBS broadcast that reaching out to others makes you healthier. That, according to chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook, who said, “There is scientific evidence that community and human contact are healthy.” So, you see, there is plenty of incentive to join in (and we haven’t even touched on the feel-good benefits of ‘becoming more involved’ through charity work). There’s one more boon to fulfilling this particular resolution: it will feel so good that you may actually succeed in keeping it.

cover story

[celebrate life American Heart Association by alexa beattie What better reason for a party than life? ‘Life is why’ is the philosophy of the American Heart Association, which hosts the 2016 St. Louis Heart Ball Feb. 27 at the Chase Park Plaza. The Ball is a celebration of the Association’s mission and work, its donors and volunteers, and—most important—the lives it has saved from heart disease. Last year, the Heart Balls, which is held in nearly 190 cities nationwide, raised $51 million to help fund more than $123 million in research and programs across the country. Heart disease kills more Americans than any other leading cause of death.

This year, the ball is chaired by Jim Weddle, managing partner at Edward Jones, and his wife Stacey. Weddle says personal experience with heart attack and stroke has made him a great supporter of the Heart Association. “My father, at 57, was in the prime of his life when he died of a heart attack. It had an enormous impact on me,” he says. Additionally, two colleagues in his office of 300 have suffered a stroke in the past year. Weddle notes that while his father was not as healthconscious as people are today, his young colleagues are. “It can happen to anyone,” he says.

Thanks to the American Heart Association, however, people are more educated about the risks these days. “Smoking is a big threat to heart health,” says Jennifer Jaeger, executive director of the St. Louis chapter. “But it is the most preventable cause of premature death.” The benefits of exercise also have been widely broadcast. “We recommend 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise. That isn’t much,” she says.

Jaeger adds that heart disease is on the cusp of being downgraded to No. 2 leading cause of death in the U.S, hopefully soon to fall below cancer. “It’s a strange thing to celebrate,” she says. “But it shows that the Heart Association has significantly raised the public’s awareness of the causes.” An example of this is ‘My Life Check,’ a simple list of seven preventive measures: manage blood pressure, control cholesterol, reduce blood sugar, get active, eat better, lose weight and stop smoking. To help employees stay heart healthy, Weddle says his office offers an annual screening that includes testing of cholesterol and blood sugar levels. To encourage participation, the company offers a reduction in health insurance costs. “We have helped people who didn’t know they had a problem,” Weddle says.

The Heart Ball is among the American Heart Association’s biggest fundraisers. “The atmosphere is amazing,” says Weddle. “All these wonderful, concerned, generous people coming together to support research and promote health—it really is a celebration of life.”

[ talkof thetowns ] by bill beggs jr.

The million or so holiday lights that have glittered and sparkled for the last three decades at Tilles Park in Ladue went dark a few days after Christmas because of the torrential rains and catastrophic flooding that inundated the metro and beyond. No illuminated tunnel, gingerbread men or Santa’s Toy Company to amaze and delight kids of all ages. The flashing mobile signs that the county highway traffic employs to warn motorists of upcoming traffic snarls simply stated, “WW LAND CLOSED.” One was near the eastbound I-64 off-ramp at McKnight, the best route to the popular attraction that this year celebrated its 30th anniversary and was just a little more spectacular than in years past. That is, from Thanksgiving until flooding during the seemingly incessant rain that began the day after Christmas and raised water levels too high for safety’s sake. Curious travelers—well me, at least—went southbound on McKnight just to check it out. But what was there to check out? It would have been unsafe for them to leave the lights on, of course—somewhat akin to throwing a toaster into a full bathtub. (Did I steal that from Agatha Christie?) Anyhow, St. Louis proper didn’t get the worst of it, of course. That was in outlying areas, mostly, where normally harmless streams became raging rivers from flash flooding. Interstates 44 and 55 were closed for a spell. We had a splash of it in our little northwest corner of U. City, stacking sandbags on the sidewalk to keep water in the saturated yard from flowing over the threshold and through the front door. Meanwhile, many relatives, friends, neighbors and businesses experienced the wettest basements they’d had in years. But the worst I heard personally was from my favorite server at Bandana’s at McKnight and Manchester roads. She had to abandon her house

in Lemay for one on higher ground in St. Clair. She said the water was so high that the home was a total loss.

That’s why it’s so important to give generously to the Red Cross to help alleviate the distress.

You don’t need to have been down yonder in the bootheel to at least have heard about the ‘throwed rolls’ at Lambert’s Cafe near Sikeston, Mo. Ayup. Servers will throw you one if you’re fresh out. And there’s more where that came from if you don’t catch the first. (One customer even filed a suit last summer because she got hit by one. Geez.) But we didn’t know about the pancakes griddled and tossed with a spatula toward your plate, which we experienced on New Year’s Day in the Savoy Room of the Chase Park Plaza. Been here for decades, and maybe I don’t get out much, but Chris Cakes has been this flippin’ crazy since 1969, and there are mobile franchises all over. At any rate, we saw one griddle master delighting kids and adults at biz guru Carol Wiseman’s fab breakfast, and I don’t think a single one hit the

floor. Wiseman’s mate, Dr. Frank Robbins, a retired anesthesiologist, delighted in the festivities, watching as his wife caught a flapjack or two. (The doctor’s business card identifies him as ‘Carol Wiseman’s husband.’) To our knowledge, nobody at the party had the top of their head sliced off by a flying flapjack.

Chesterfield, we remember you when you were only THIS BIG. My, how you’ve grown. And some of your offspring are so accomplished! Michael Herring, hired on as city administrator in 1988 soon after the city incorporated, is no slouch, and by now is an old hand at doing what he was trained to do in college. (Which we’ll get to in a minute.) Herring has told city officials his last day on the job will be March 31. He was the first city employee hired and will have been its longest tenured employee when he retires in the spring. Prior to his long service in Chesterfield, he served as city administrator for Ballwin from 1982 to 1988. Herring also served as president of the Missouri City Management Association (MCMA) from 1991 to 1992, having previously served as vice president and as a member of the board. In April of 1998, the MCMA honored him with its Jay T. Bell Professional Management Award—the highest kudos a professional manager in Missouri can receive. He was president of the St. Louis Area City Management Association from 1985 to 1986 and has been a member of numerous county Municipal League committees. He’s on the board of the city’s Chamber of Commerce. Herring had served in similar positions in southern U.S. cities since graduating Phi Beta Kappa with a master’s in public

administration from the University of South Carolina.

Married and the father of four, where do you think he makes his home? Good guess … Chesterfield.

Every year at this time, St. Louis Public Library celebrates the life and work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with events and activities at the library branches that illustrate and attempt to carry forward his message of peace and brotherhood.

Yes, he dreamed of racial harmony, but there is much left to do. Even when Dr. King accepted the Nobel Peace Prize more than 50 years ago, he was realistic … if not a touch cynical for a man of dreams. In Stockholm on Dec. 11, 1964, as he accepted the honor, he asked why the prize was awarded to a movement that is beleaguered and committed to unrelenting struggle; “to a movement which has not won the very peace and brotherhood which is the essence of the Nobel Peace Prize?” A philosopher said many centuries ago that there are no answers, only questions … one must know what the questions are. As the effort continues, library branches will show films that chronicle the life of this great man throughout the month when we commemorate his birth. A glimpse: the Kingshighway branch has a bulletin board pinned with tags containing information about volunteer opportunities in St. Louis; the Baden branch invites patrons of all ages to submit songs, quotes, poems, art and more to be displayed on a bulletin board throughout January; at Central, there will be a reading of Spike Lee’s Giant Steps to Change the World along with accompanying activities and feature films.

Maplewood is taking a lot of cars off the road every year—about 750 … so to speak, that is. The city has become the fastest in the state to achieve its present status as an official EPA Green Power Community (GPC) by reaching a goal of matching 334 megawatt hours per month (4,006 MWh per year) with green energy sources, such as solar power. The city ended up matching almost double the percentage set by the EPA. And, it did it in a record-breaking four months.

Maplewood and its energy partners (Ameren Pure Power and StL-based Microgrid Energy) encouraged local government, businesses and residents to commit to green power through either purchasing renewable energy certificates or installing solar power. Quite a feat, by which Maplewood becomes only the fourth EPA GPC in the state by far. (Sorry for all that alphabet soup.) Now, about taking all those cars off the road?

No. the city isn’t impounding them. Maplewood’s green energy use will reduce its carbon footprint by 7.4 million pounds of carbon dioxide every year.

Wowzers. Can you imagine having had to breathe even a minuscule fraction of those exhaust fumes?

Cough much?

A glimpse at what’s going on around St. Louis and beyond.

Congratulations to Galia Movitz, who was named recipient of the

Kipnis-Wilson/ Friedland Award.

A generous donor and leader in the St. Louis Jewish community, Movitz is being honored by the Jewish Federations of North America, which gives the award. She will be recognized during the International Lion of Judah Conference in Washington D.C. later this year.

I like to try new group exercise classes OK, that is a total lie. Group exercise

classes scare me. What with the mirrors, the fit people and the fact that I don’t know my right from my left, I have always avoided these classes. Sure, you can find me in Pilates and Pure Barre, but in those everyone is so focused on themselves, they really don’t notice anyone else and embarrassment is kept to a minimum.

I was curious about Shred415 when a friend told me I should check it out. Since one of my New Year’s resolutions is to Take a Chance, I couldn’t very well say no. So, I grabbed my daughter, Tess, and off we went to 60 minutes of torture. No, that’s not the right word. A heart-raising, thrill-riding, sweat-fest.

No that’s not right; it sounds like I’m describing a day at Six Flags. Let’s just say it was intense.

First, I would like to discuss the pros and cons of working out with a 19-year-old daughter.

Regardless of how much you workout and how well you eat, they will be better than you, even if they snarf down a doughnut on the way to class. They may not have stepped on a treadmill in six months, but they will be able to sprint with no apparent problem while you hold on for dear life. Second, they will be more confident. You will always be several seconds behind everyone else, but your daughter anticipates what’s next and is always moving in the right direction before the instructor barks a command. While your brain is still processing, she has moved on to the next exercise. OK, now that I got that off my chest, let me tell you about the class. Oh wait, I need a pro: We did an activity together.

Shred415 is divided into four 15-minute segments. Two on a treadmill and two on a bench or mat doing exercises. The music is blasting, the instructor calls out instructions to both groups.

Those on the treadmill might be told to increase their speed or change their incline, while those on the bench are doing bicep curls. The time flies by in part because you are constantly moving. This also prevents you from staring at anyone else besides your daughter and the incredibly fit pregnant woman next to you. And for those of us who avoid group fitness classes, this made me happy because no one was judging my clumsy lunges. The workout incorporated cardio and strength training and resulted in my inability to walk up the stairs without thinking about the class for two days. Tess was the youngest participant and I was the oldest, but I was assured that more middle-aged people show up during the evening. Though to be honest, I don’t care. No one looked at me as I sang my heart out to the ’80s and sweated my way through class.

Shred415 is independently owned and operated and only here and in Chicago. So try it out for a great workout. I’ll be going back, if just to sing along to the music. If you have fitness classes you would like me to try, email me at phannum@townandstyle.com.

ready readers

Kids who read succeed: That’s the motto of this organization with a mission to inspire preschool-age children from low-income communities to become readers by reading aloud to them, increasing their exposure to quality books and providing literacy-related activities.

Ready Readers has 542 trained, placed, supervised and supported volunteers who read weekly to almost 10,000 preschool-age children from low-income communities attending 180 early childhood centers in the St. Louis area. Last year, Ready Readers gave more than 65,000 new books to the children and the teachers in the program. In weekly sessions, each volunteer reads two to three books aloud and teaches an emergent literacy activity to the same class of children, at the same time every week, allowing the children to associate a special person with the fun of reading. In addition, Ready Readers gives each child seven new, personalized books annually with a ‘Notes for Home’ section designed for follow-up with the family. Volunteers go above and beyond the weekly reading weekly by organizing family events, teacher support days, and fairs at their centers.

“We believe all children should have the opportunity to learn. A strong early foundation in literacy sets the stage for young children to become successful readers and learners,” says executive director Lisa Greening.

facts executive DiRectOR Lisa Greening missiOn The mission of Ready Readers is to inspire preschool-age children from low-income communities to become readers by reading aloud to them, increasing their exposure to quality books, and providing literacy-related activities. histORy Ready Readers began in 1997 when Pat Simons, founder and retired executive director, and three other St. Louisans wanted to prevent reading problems among children living in poverty.

Fleur de Lis

by dorothy weiner | photos by robert george studio

The 57th Fleur de Lis Ball to benefit SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital was celebrated Dec. 29 at the Hyatt Regency Saint Louis at the Arch. That evening, 19 young women were presented to the Most Rev. Edward M. Rice, Auxiliary Bishop of St. Louis, before an admiring audience of friends and family.

Mrs. Michael E. McCadden served as ball chairwoman, with assistance from Mrs. John P. Boldt, president of the Fleur de Lis. The organization to date has contributed nearly $3 million to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, which provides care to the children of our region without regard to their families’ ability to pay. Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center provided more than $6 million in free care last year.

The Favorites

Brisket, Potato Salad, Ribs, Pulled Chicken, Fried Pickles

Dalie’s is the brainchild of Pappy’s owner Mike Emerson and chef Skip Steele, who wanted to bring Pappy’s legendary ’cue to West County. The meats we tasted were indeed delicious, slow-smoked over cherry wood for something like 22 hours. Tender, moist and flavorful, what they didn’t have was the heavy and overpowering smokiness found in so much of today’s barbecue.

A Half-Combo ($20) was a hefty platter of food that included a half-slab of ribs, 1/4 pound of any meat and two sides. The runaway favorite was the ribs, which were hard to beat. A spicy rub created a crusty top, and the meaty flesh was slightly smoky, tender, moist and not overly fatty. These were, simply put, a little bit of heaven. Don’t pass them up. Our extra meat was the beef brisket, similarly moist and ever so lightly smoky.

The sauces—four are offered—were all good, so there are no bad choices, depending on what you like. All

have some bite and most have lots of sugar—this place likes its foods sweet.

That goes for the sides, too. The Pit Baked Beans were sweet with a distinctive spice, like clove or mace.

The Creamy Mustard Slaw also was sugary, as was the Apple Sauce, which is chunky and covered in cinnamon.

The Potato Salad was more classic and very good. An exception was the mac and cheese, which was the only thing here you could call ‘mild’. Tasting very much like elbow noodles with Velveeta, they came topped with a little breadcrumb mix and were a welcome dose of creaminess amid a sea of sweet and spicy.

The pulled chicken was a good choice all around.

The meat was in chunks and slightly spicy. Much like pulled pork, it had bits of crisped meat and plenty of flavor. The pulled pork was fine, if not my favorite; same for the barbecued roast beef, which we had on a long hoagie bun. It reminded me a little of a barbecued

[ food • ŏ • lō • gy ]

[ chef chat ]

Pulled Pork Refers to slow-cooked pork, which is a way to tenderize tough cuts and allow them to become soft and ‘pulled’ apart into shreds.

Fried Pickles A food created in the South, these are battered and deep-fried dill pickles.

Brisket This cut is commonly used in barbcue because it becomes tender and juicy with

slow-cooking and lends itself to sauces. The meat comes from the cow’s lower chest, just above where it connects to the leg.

[ aftertaste ] » The food comes in huge servings and tastes great, and the service is super-friendly.

Love the barbecue here. And the sauces can’t be beat. It can get a little noisy, but that’s

part of the fun.

version of cafeteria roast beef, but instead of au jus, it came with a sauce reminiscent of brown gravy.

The hush puppies here were quite good, very crusty and well-browned. They’ve got bits of jalapeno pepper and corn kernels inside. If you like fried foods, do not miss the Fried Pickles, which are very crunchy deep-fried nuggets of goodness—salty and sugary.

Also worthwhile is the dinner salad, a large plateful of greens with cherry tomatoes; you need something to help you digest all that meat! The ranch dressing is good.

The serving staff was among the friendliest I’ve encountered anywhere. They come by to see if you need anything, and they bring boxes and lids so you can package up your leftovers. And when I told them my beans weren’t hot, they brought an entire new serving, which was. All around, this is a pleasant and tasty place for a casual meal of ’cue.

cover story

[giving Voice slucare physician group by stephanie zeilenga When a friend calls, the ‘hello’ at the other end tells you who’s on the line.

When you’re having a bad day, the voice of a loved one can soothe your worries. Some, like sports announcers, singers and radio hosts, count on their voices for their livelihood. So when Mary Eggleston, a music director at a local parish, noticed that her singing voice was giving her trouble, she became worried. “I would attempt to sing, and my voice would screech or do something goofy,” she says. “I knew it was something worse than a cold.”

Seeking the help of a specialist, she landed in the office of Dr. John Eisenbeis, a SLUCare laryngologist and head of the SLUCare Voice Disorder Clinic, which utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to treat the full spectrum of voice disorders and swallowing problems. “At the clinic, we have speech-language pathologists, voice specialists, and ear, nose and throat specialists all in one place,” says Eisenbeis, who also is a professor of otolaryngology at Saint Louis University.

“We have state-of-the-art equipment for voice analysis and can treat anyone with voice disorders, from parents who yell too much to sports announcers and rock stars who have worn out their voices.” The clinic also offers in-office injections to treat vocal cord paralysis and the aging voice, as well as Botox injections to treat patients with spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder that causes spasms in the larynx during speech.

Vocal cord disorders can be misdiagnosed for years, Eisenbeis says. One such condition is vocal cord dysfunction, in which the cords close abnormally during breathing, causing asthma-like symptoms. “Patients with this condition have learned bad breathing habits,” Eisenbeis explains. “Our speech-language pathologist works with them to retrain their brain, and the problem goes away.”

At the clinic, voice disorder patients first are given a stroboscopy, which allows physicians to see how the vocal cords are vibrating. “It’s useful to get in-depth knowledge about the patient and know what their vocal cords look like and how the architecture needs to change when they’re on the operating table,” Eisenbeis says. “It’s incredible to be able to treat these patients and use a picture of their vocal cords to help them understand what is going on.”

Mary Eggleston’s stroboscopy revealed a hemorrhaging polyp on her right cord, which was impeding it from vibrating properly. After she rested her voice to heal the hemorrhaging, she underwent surgery to remove the polyp. The procedure took only a few minutes, but completely fixed her voice, Eggleston reports happily. “I was barely even sore afterward,” she says. “It was scary thinking I could lose my singing voice. I’m thrilled to have it back—and it’s actually better than before.”

Eisenbeis loves working with the voice, he says, in part because it is so fundamental to who we are. “It’s such a unique signature, and if you heard anyone sing, from a little kid in a school play to the great Pavarotti, it’s amazing what we’re able to do with this instrument,” he says. “If someone loses their voice, it’s a significant impairment.”

Iñárritu (of last year’s Academy Award-winning Birdman) is not for the faint of heart. It tells the embellished true-life tale of Hugh Glass, an early 19th-century fur trader who is left for dead after a brutal bear attack in the snowy wilderness. While he’s immobile, one of his companions (Tom Hardy), murders his son in front of his eyes and essentially buries him alive. Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), drags his way out of the grave and slowly, tortuously crawls his way to vengeance.

Although brutal and at times hard to watch, the film’s beauty makes it impossible to turn away. Set in the then-remote Dakota Territory, The Revenant is more breathtaking than any other film I’ve seen, the eerie score emphasizing nature’s creaks, gurgles and whispers to make you feel as if you’re really there.

Much praise has already been given to DiCaprio, who totally commits to the role’s harrowing physical demands It is deserved: he conveys

Glass’ interior journey almost entirely without dialogue, working only with facial expressions and labored grunts and wheezes.

One small complaint: the film’s length of 156 minutes, which feels a little self-indulgent at times. It is, however, worth sitting through to witness this cinematic feat.

A hh , su m m e r . Even though temperatures may dip below freezing now,

summer is not so very far away. For parents, this means we have to start planning. How will we keep our children occupied, let alone enriched, over the long, lazy months?

As it has been for nearly 40 years, the Summer Opportunities Fair is here to help.

The fair takes place Jan. 30 at John Burroughs School and is a one-stop shop for parents looking for the camp that best suits their child. “We have 160 exhibitors offering every kind of experience, from traditional sleep-aways to more specialized programs like photography and rock-climbing,” says fair co-chair Shilpa Thornton. “From toddlers on up, we have something for everyone.”

EIGHT WEEKS OF SUMMER FUN BEGINS JUNE 13! register online at wilsonschool.com

One of these specialty camps—offered by DaySpring School of the Arts—is tailored to the budding thespian. The Maryland Heights school holds 12 different camps throughout the summer, all of them performance-based, says Rebecca Garcia, grants and development director. “Children learn the ins and outs of putting on a show. Our camp is special because it provides real training. During two three-week blocks, two shows are produced—a play (often Shakespeare) and a musical. Campers are given their lines before the camp even begins. “We want lines memorized ahead of time, because then the children can focus on what the directors are teaching,” Garcia says.

Clearwater Camp for Girls in Minocqua, Wisconsin, offers a different way to spend the summer months. It was started in 1933 by Sara Holiday Sprague as a way to build girls’ confidence and adventurous spirit.

Sprague’s great-granddaughter, Liz Baker, is now executive director. “She wanted Clearwater Camp for Girls to empower young women,” Baker says.

“And that is what we do.” The camp offers two, sessions each three and a half weeks, for girls ages 8 to 16, and one two-week ‘introduction to camp’ for girls in grades second through fourth.

Clearwater is traditional and outdoorsy, offering activities like sailing, canoeing, archery, kayaking, outdoor cooking, pottery and photography. Baker says the camp rents 15 horses for the summer so the girls can ride and learn to care for them. The cabins for the older girls are situated on an island.

A highlight of each session for girls age 13 and older, Baker notes, is the four- to sevenday road trip they take to places like Michigan’s Porky Mountains and Lake Superior’s Apostle Islands. “We instill great values in our girls,” Baker says. “We push them out of their comfort zones and encourage them to do their personal best.”

The 2016 Summer Opportunities Fair takes place 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 30 at John Burroughs School. The event is free.

[animal haven Cub Creek Science and Animal Camp

Rolla, Missouri

by karyn meyer

Cub Creek Science and Animal Camp at Bear River Ranch in Rolla, Missouri, offers single-week and multi-week sessions from May 29 through Aug. 6 for campers age 7 to 17.

For more information, call 573.458.2125 or visit mosciencecamp.com.

What Lori Martin started as a summer program with 10 campers at Babler State Park more than 25 years ago has grown into a 10-week-long summer camp on a 250-acre ranch in Rolla, Missouri. Cub Creek Science and Animal Camp now welcomes more than 250 campers each year and recently added an extension of its program in Jamaica. With more than 100 species of animals on the grounds, it’s not your typical camp experience.

Creative director Ari Farley has been with the camp since 2012, previously working as a counselor and animal caretaker in the off season and now serving as Cub Creek’s lead photographer while camp is in session. “Being a photographer has been my favorite position so far because I get to see campers grow up and get to know more than just those in my cabin.” The relationships at Cub Creek—both with the animals and the people—are a big part of its attraction.

“The most important lesson kids take away from camp is their sense of self-worth,” Farley says. “They are most like themselves when they are supported and in a community of peers who share their interests, and with counselors and leadership staff who support their goals and aspirations.”

It’s safe to say the majority of campers, who range in age from 7 to 17, share a deep love of animals, and Cub Creek offers quite the variety. Except for a handful of ‘display only’ animals, campers are allowed to handle and interact up-close with more than 300 species, including lemurs, porcupines, sloths, wallabies, alpacas, miniature horses and more. “Campers will have an enriching experience regardless of whether they are animal lovers, but it is our hope that everyone leaves here with a new appreciation for animals and their importance in our ecosystem,” Farley says.

Beyond caring for the animals, campers are able to choose from countless activities during each session. From May 29 through Aug. 6, there are six single-week sessions and six multi-week sessions, when campers can stay two, four or all six weeks. “Each session is structured the same,” Farley explains. “We want everyone’s camp experience to be special and tailored to them, so campers are in complete control of what they do. They choose two courses to participate in every day of the week, from junior vet, when campers learn the basics of being a veterinarian, to ceramics, archery, crime science, and adopt-an-animal, when campers spend the week with an animal of their choice.” Along with these two courses, campers choose classes that change daily, like friendship bracelets and zipline. “Cub Creek has a five-element ropes course, an archery and rifle range, pottery studio, and even a fossil pit and gemstone quarry,” Farley says.

Along with the 1,600-square-foot, air-conditioned cabins with private bathrooms, Cub Creek is adding a brand-new 17,000-square-foot dining hall this year. And it is the third year for Animal Camp Jamaica (ACJ), a way for the Martins to share the culture and cuisine of one of their favorite vacation spots with teenagers age 14 to 18. Three experienced, lifeguard-certified counselors from Cub Creek are chosen as trip leaders for ACJ; they accompany campers on each outing of the 13-day trip. During their session, young adventurers snorkel every morning on the beach, kayak, interact with dolphins at Dolphin Cove, travel the island of Jamaica and climb Dunn’s River Falls. They stay in the camp’s gated, four-bedroom villa on 2 private acres and enjoy meals prepared by the villa’s personal cooks.

“I wish I had this experience when I was younger,” Farley says. “Camp is a place where kids can learn, be 100 percent themselves, conquer their fears and achieve their goals!”

ie n ce r e p x E

WHI T FIEL D this summer.

SPORTS CAMPS

by dr. tim jordan So, what are your resolutions for the new

year? Are you going with the usually unfulfilled standards like losing weight, working out or not yelling at your children? I’ve got a better idea, and it will only take a moment of your time— because it’s about this moment.

I encourage the girls and young women I work with to focus on living ‘in the moment,’ being more mindful. According to research, mindfulness is paying attention to present-moment experiences with openness, curiosity and a willingness to be with whatever is. The benefits of practicing mindful awareness are many: reduced rumination, stress reduction, increased attention and cognitive flexibility, less emotional reactivity, and an enhancement of intuition and relationship satisfaction.

Not bad for something as simple as the ability to breathe, observe and connect with your inner experience.

The rub is that in this busy and distracting culture, it can be quite a challenge to slow down and be in the moment. It takes practice and discipline, and you have to make it a priority. Here are some tools I have used with success to achieve this state:

Learn fundamental skills,

Camp Whitfield=FUN!

improve your game.

Be ready to move, engage, create and play.

Camps include:

Three one-week sessions in July

BASKETBALL • DANCE • VOLLEYBALL

Day camp for students entering kindergarten through seventh grade

Age ranges and session dates vary by sport. Please check our website for specifics.

Our reasonable price includes all fees, field trip expenses and the best hot lunch in town!

Visit www.whitfieldschool.org/summercamp for more information about Whitfield summer camps.

WHITFIELD SCHOOL • 175 South Mason Road • St. Louis, Missouri 63141 • 314.434.5141

Focused breathing: Close your eyes and count your breaths in your head. Count to five as you slowly inhale, hold the breath for a second, and then count down to zero as you exhale. This brings you totally into your body and thus into the present moment, and all worries and to-do lists just melt away.

Focus on one sense: Sit down (outside in nature is best), close your eyes, and notice all the sounds around you. Or stare at a flower and really notice all the details you normally miss because you are in such a hurry. If your mind wanders, bring it right back to listening or to what you are looking at.

Again, focusing on one sense at a time transports you back to this moment.

Focus on the journey, not the destination: All our fears come from living in the future, worrying about what may or may not happen. Girls experience anxiety about grades, ACT tests, college admittance, getting a good job, and even finding their soulmate. Instead of worrying about failing a test, I tell them to concentrate on their normal study strategies and give their usual effort; if they are typically an A student and they stay focused, they know what the result is going to be.

Mindfulness helps people become fully engaged in what they are doing, enabling moments of flow and creativity. Wilbur and Orville Wright lived in squalid conditions in a simple tent on the beach for months, and despite the adversities, it was the happiest they had ever been. Determination, self-reliance, hard work and full engagement allowed the Wright brothers to fly.

Make a commitment to cultivate mindfulness this year through the above exercises or through practices like meditation, yoga or tai chi. Catch yourself when you are spending time in the past or future, and bring your awareness back to the present moment. Make it a priority so it becomes your new normal state of mind.

sports standouts] by karyn meyer

[ pitch perfect ]

[ ready, SET, go! ]

amanda cabrera

gabby blossom

Being named Conference Player of the Year for high school softball is a major accomplishment. So when you’re given the honor three out of four years like John F. Kennedy High School senior Amanda Cabrera, you know you’re good. She helped lead her team to a successful 20-5 record, ending the season as District Champions. But even with her success, Cabrera remains focused on also having fun. A co-captain for the second year in a row, the pitcher took her leadership position seriously and made sure her teammates valued every aspect of the game. “I’ve had leaders who made everything about winning, and where’s the fun in that? Enjoying the game is equally as important as anything else,” she says.

Cabrera should know what she’s talking about, having played softball since the first grade. “I was the kid who tried every sport, and my mom suggested softball. She played competitively in high school and had the opportunity to play in college,” she explains. “It turned out I was good at it!” She says since her mom didn’t want to force the game on her, she took a hands-off approach. “My dad was the one who would go out and practice with me, but both my parents were fully supportive of my decision to commit to the sport,” Cabrera says.

Her commitment involves extra training on top of typical practices, which were every day after school. Afterward, she did a CrossFit workout either at the gym or on her own. Cabrera explains that pitching practice is about protecting the muscles you already have and building stability and core strength in order to throw harder. “It’s not a lot of arm exercises like most people would think,” she says. “We focus on legs and abs.” Now Cabrera plays with her club team, Collinsville Extreme, and is focused on conditioning and getting ready for the offseason with Tennessee State, where she has committed to play.

When you hear of her accomplishments on the field, it’s easy to understand how she caught the eye of the university’s head coach. Cabrera holds Kennedy’s all-time record for wins, strikeouts and innings pitched and at the plate, is the school’s all-time record holder for home runs, RBIs and batting average. She’s been named first team All Conference and All District all four years and first team All Region for two years.

More than anything, the senior loves that the sport has allowed her to connect and form relationships with lots of different people. “I love playing a team sport,” she says. “Sometimes it can be frustrating, but it teaches you great life lessons because you’ll come across the same issues elsewhere!”

Even though she’s only a sophomore, Gabby Blossom already has made her mark on the volleyball court. In fact, she’s even finalized college plans for when she graduates from St. Joseph’s Academy. The 16-year-old verbally committed this past summer to play at Penn State, a Division 1 school known for its nationally ranked volleyball program.

“I grew up watching them,” Blossom says. “Penn State always has been my dream school. Its quality education matches the top-ranked volleyball program, and I wanted a good balance.” After attending a camp at the university, Blossom was offered a spot and committed the next weekend. “When I was there, I fell in love with how hard the team works and how hard they push to get better, and I knew it was the right fit for me!” As Blossom explains, volleyball is “crazy with recruiting,” so it was much more than luck that got her where she is today.

“I started playing volleyball with St. Louis CYC when I was 9,” she says.

“My mom played at Central Missouri State and took my sister and I to play on campus growing up, and I loved it.

My older sister got into it, and I always knew I wanted to also.” Blossom still plays with the same club program and has made it to Nationals with her team every year. She started playing for her school as well when it was offered in the third grade. “When I was younger, the school season only lasted a couple months, so club was a much bigger deal,” she says. “We traveled three to four times a year, and it was tons of fun.”

Now, a lot of the focus has turned to her position as a setter with St. Joe’s, where she has played varsity since freshman year. “I’ve always been a setter,” Blossom says.

“It’s my favorite position because you have so much control over the game. You touch the ball in every rally and run the offense. It’s the most fun because you’re super involved in the game at all times; you’re always watching what’s happening on the court.”

Blossom, who was heading into the State tournament when we spoke, says the St. Joe team was hoping for a strong finish like last year. “We got second at State last season, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had with volleyball,” she says. “We worked really hard to get there.” (The team finished fourth this year.) Blossom truly values her relationships with her teammates. “That’s one of the greatest things about volleyball,” she says. “You have to rely on the other players, and I love the bonds you form. We’re all best friends.”

talk to… [ aj anthon ] The Chaminade senior was so modest about his accomplishments on the soccer field that assistant coach Tim Sartori jumped in on his behalf. “He scored seven goals in a row over the course of three games this year, and almost all of his goals were game-winning this season, both very impressive achievements,” Sartori says. “He was the heart and soul of our team this year and always put the other players first, never worrying about his personal accolades.”

Q| When did you start playing soccer?

A| Way back when in preschool for a CYC league.

Q| What made you stick with it?

A| My dad got me involved with a couple of select teams starting in the fifth grade,

and I realized I really enjoyed the game. I played for St. Louis Scott Gallagher through last year and have played varsity at Chaminade since I was a sophomore.

Freshman year, I was on JV.

JANUARY 13, 2016

Q| What position do you play?

A| Forward, which is what I’ve played since I started. I was the person who got the ball a

lot and just ran toward the goal!

Q| How did the Chaminade season end this year?

A| We lost to SLUH in District finals, but it was a good year. I’m not going to continue

playing in college, so I’ll just play for fun now.

Q| Any accomplishments you’re especially proud of?

A| Last year, we made it to the State finals, which was pretty special. It was really cool

to play that game; the atmosphere was unreal, and the fans were awesome.

Q| Do you like the team aspect?

A| I love it. Daily practices were so much fun because of my teammates and coaches.

Spring Break

By Doug Kaufman

Now that the holidays are over, our thoughts just naturally turn to ... spring break! Then panic sets in: Can we be ready in time ? And I’m not talking about packing. With swimsuit season looming in the not-too-distant future, it can be an uphill battle to prepare for long, lazy, and bare-it-all days in the sun.

BEAUTY ... AT WHAT COST?

These procedures are usually elective, so cost is out-of-pocket. As Dr. Muccini of MidAmerica Skin Health & Vitality Center so aptly notes: “Insurance barely pays for you to be healthy; it doesn’t pay to keep you beautiful!”

Prices below are approximations.

Single facial treatments $50 to $100; treatment packages, $500 to $2,000 Broadband light treatments to reduce brown spots $200 to $2,000 Laser treatments $1,500 up to $3,500 Botox about $250 to $600 Laser hair removal five treatments range from $159 for a small area to $300 for larger

MIND THE MIDSECTION

If there is one ‘problem area’ most women would single out, it’s the midsection— somewhere between the top of the rib cage and the hips. Fortunately, the medical world has come to the rescue with all kinds of innovations to meet the demand for trimmer torsos.

Start Early & Start Thin-ish

Excess Fat VS. Excess Skin

Cosmetic surgeries come with a downtime period, so plan ahead, doctors caution. “It’s not necessarily a quick fix, like something to do two weeks before spring break,” points out Dr. Marissa Tenenbaum of West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University. Diet and exercise she says, are the most effective front-line strategies because most midsection-tweaking procedures are just that—tweaks. “There aren’t a lot of great procedures for somebody who is very overweight,” Tenenbaum notes.

“Body sculpting surgery works best if the patient is at or near their best weight,” concurs Dr. William Hart of Hart Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgical Institute of St. Louis. “It is a treatment for selected problem areas and not a method of losing weight.” Trimming weight and trimming inches are two entirely different issues, points out Dr. Michele Koo of St. Louis Plastic Surgery. “If a patient is interested in weight loss, we have an entire program of nutrition and exercise therapists who can work with our patients to get them on track first,” she says.

The first determination when trimming problem areas is whether the problem is excess fat, excess skin or both. If fat is the issue and the skin quality is good and reasonably tight, CoolSculpting is a non-surgical possibility, says Tenenbaum. “CoolSculpting works really well for the love handle region or the lower and upper belly,” she says. Sessions are one-hour and done in-office with no anesthesia, and most people will need two to three treatments. “It takes a few weeks to a few months to see your final results, but you start seeing some results within a few weeks,” Tenenbaum says.

Liposuction remains the gold standard for fat reduction. Incisions are small, but it is a somewhat invasive procedure. Typically it is done on an outpatient basis in the hospital, and post-procedure discomfort is moderate. “Patients are going to feel very sore, kind of like they went to the gym and did a million sit-ups,” Tenenbaum says. “Usually it’s tolerable and most people don’t miss much work. But they definitely will feel it.”

The type of liposuction depends on the area and how thick the fat is, explains Koo. She says she uses all available options, but isn’t a proponent of external liposuction with ‘fat freezing,’ or fat smoothing via external ultrasound. “There has not been enough evidence of significant reproducible results,” she says.

Hart uses a technique called ‘power assisted liposuction.’ “This allows for removal of more fat safely with less bruising and a quicker overall recovery,” he says. “The amount of fat is estimated beforehand in terms of how much will be removed.” Hart also employs a technique called BodyTite, which uses radiofrequency heat to liquify the fat and cauterize small blood vessels and fibrous tissue. “This has worked extremely well for patients who have excess skin but not so much that they would require a tummy tuck,” he says. “It can be used for any area of the body where we would normally do liposuction, and in some cases it can avoid large scars.”

Laugh lines, crow’s feet and age spots can make you look in the mirror and wonder who’s staring back.

But from peels and dermabrasion to Botox and fillerS, there are many options for returning to a fresher look.

Help Yourself

Peels & Tightening

Laser Treatments

Botox & Fillers

“There are a lot of different things you can do—exfoliating is helpful to refresh the skin and bring back a little glow and brightness,” says Dr. Natalie Semchyshyn, a SLUCare dermatologist and associate professor of dermatology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Without even going to the doctor’s office, topical creams containing lactic acid or glycolic acid and prescription retinoids can help exfoliate the skin, she adds.

“It’s going to gradually give you some improvement over several weeks to months.”

Face protection and skin improvement start at home, agrees Dr. Joseph Muccini of MidAmerica Skin Health & Vitality Center. “As we get ready for spring, we need to be smart in the winter months,” he says. “We should be using gentle cleansers and moisturizing.”

In-office monthly microdermabrasion helps exfoliate the skin and even its tone. Depending on the level of discoloration, chemical peels with glycolic acid can range from superficial with little down time to more intense with three to five days ‘social’ down time, doctors explain.

“The peels are good for smoothing, helping with skin texture and brown spots, and evening the skin tone,” Semchyshyn says. Radiofrequency skin tightening and ultrasonic skin tightening are gentle techniques, Muccini says. Microneedling is a good way to repair skin in a noninvasive way, he adds, and when paired with vitamin C serum infusions, it rejuvenates the skin.

“As spring comes, it’s sort of like pulling your car out of the garage,” Muccini says. “You’re going to wash it and wax it and buff and polish it and make it all nice and pretty.

But with your skin, you’re not just making it look good, you also want to promote health.”

Less intense laser treatments will help with skin texture and skin discoloration and have a shorter recovery time. Stronger laser treatments with deeper skin penetration will help with wrinkling, sun-damaged skin and discoloration, but recovery takes longer.

Semchyshyn prefers fractional lasers, which treat tiny sections of skin while leaving other sections untouched—she describes it as like aiming a laser through a sieve.

The fractional untouched skin allows the face to heal faster.

Muccini says winter is a great time for laser treatments because people aren’t in the sun as much, so avoiding sun is that much easier. After laser treatments, both doctors recommend using sunscreen and sun protective clothing, including hats and long-sleeved shirts—not a bad idea at all times, doctors advise.

Botox and injectable fillers are other resources to address frown lines and sagging brows. Botox takes two weeks to realize the full effect, but lasts three to four months. “There’s never a bad time to do Botox,” Muccini says. “But the winter is a good time because you aren’t outside as much.” And remember: “Don’t wait until March 31 if you want to be ready for May 31,” he says.

HAIR HELP

When the weather warms, we shed layers. That means we bare more, including embarassing hair in unwanted places. No woman wants a mustache or a messy bikini line, and men aren’t usually crazy about back and shoulder hair. thankfully These are easy to remedy with advances in laser hair removal.

Less is More

Permanent & Convenient

“For women, facial hair is probably their No. 1 priority,” says Dr. Richard Moore, owner of The Lifestyle Center. “Probably the biggest seasonal peak in business for us is after the first of the year.

People are starting to think about spring and summer.”

Laser hair removal, however, does not work for everyone, as people with white, gray, red or blond hair won’t get the desired results.

“It only works on dark hair,” says Dr. Caroline Mann, a dermatologist with Washington University. “Women who have excess or increased hair growth don’t want to deal with it over and over.”

People with darker skin once had a problem with hair removal, because the laser heat could increase pigment in the area. But that’s not the case any longer. “Laser hair removal is safe and effective for all skin types, but for darker skin it requires less aggressive settings,” Moore clarifies.

And improvements have changed how heat is delivered to the skin and the discomfort levels. “It’s even safer now than it was 20 years ago to do laser hair removal for darker skin types,” Mann says. And with much of the new equipment on the market today, “Laser hair removal is nowhere near as uncomfortable as it was in the past,” Moore says. “Now we’re able to supercool the skin before, during and after treatment.”

“Laser hair removal can be curative after a number of treatments,” Dr. Mann says, “and you don’t have to shave or use creams. You’re just done with it.” The process sends laser energy down the hair shaft to the bulb of the follicle, destroying the bulb so it can’t generate a new hair follicle. Clearing an area of hair permanently can take several treatments, up to 10, Dr. Moore estimates.

“You don’t get rid of hair in one sitting,” Mann adds. “The hairs have to be in a certain growth phase, and not every hair is in that growth phase at the same time. We always warn patients they may need several treatments to get the end results.”

Treatments need to be spaced six to 15 weeks apart, depending on the body area, to allow the body to heal. “With laser hair removal, you look a little red around the hair follicle,” Mann says. “But mostly you don’t want to keep hitting the skin repeatedly with heat like that because it could cause hyperpigmentation or blisters. You have to give time for the skin to heal.”

It’s also important to avoid the sun after laser treatment, as hyperpigmentation could result. Mann reminds about the imperative to use sunscreen, even in winter. “We’re really big on sunscreen every day, no matter what,” she says, “but especially with laser.”

to treat the effects of aging on my face. Let’s be honest: There is not a filler, laser, peel or cream that I haven’t or won’t try. But something I have neglected, in my fixation on facial fine wrinkles and sun spots, is my chest (called the décolletage in polite circles).

I heard about a new microneedler at St. Louis Skin Solutions called Infini by Lutronic that was created to smooth wrinkles and improve aging and sagging skin. The benefit is minimal down time, just a day or two of redness. Imagine, no need to hide in the house so you don’t scare the little kids!

Let me try to explain in laymen’s terms how it works. Through a tip that contains microneedles, high-intensity, radio-focused frequency is delivered into your skin. The tip or wand is passed over your face twice, at two different depths, so the radio frequency is delivered into different layers of dermis. This puncturing causes the skin to heal by producing collagen, which results in diminished wrinkles and tighter skin.

So let’s talk about the procedure. I had both my face and chest, I mean décolletage, treated.

Before you start the procedure, numbing cream is smothered over the area to be treated. That’s a good thing, since this is not something you want to do without being numb. You can still feel the needles, but it’s more like pin pricks. Amanda,

the aesthetician who handled the wand, was quick and swift in her movements so by the time I was saying ‘ouch’ she had moved on to the next area. The whole process took about an hour. The only time I really wanted to punch her was when she was microneedling around my lips.

Now let’s talk about the results. Can I say I am nearly wrinkle-free on my décolletage? It no longer looks like it belongs to a woman of 56 but to a woman of 40 who actually applies sunscreen! The deep creases no longer exist, and yes, I still have a few age spots, but I think of them as cute little freckles instead. (It’s all in the marketing.) The difference in my face is subtler. As many of you know, I have always been a fan of Botox and fillers, so I’ve been able to manage those fine lines and wrinkles. But the ones that continue to confound me are around my lips: I cannot stand how quickly they add on the years, or that my lipstick feathers into the lines. I was hopeful this treatment would result in their elimination. While the lines are not gone, they are certainly softened, and I’m hopeful that with one more treatment, I might have the look I want.

Conclusion: Even though this procedure was higher on the pain scale than the others I’ve tried, I loved the minimal down time and the results, which make me want to try it one more time!

Comes Early Indoors

As the frigid temperatures of January continue to drop, cozy up indoors with your own collection of colorful houseplants.

by p. allen smith photos by jane colclasure & mark fonville Cyclamen Primrose

This plant has more than 100 varieties and is most widely known for the interesting shape of its leaves and its vibrant tiny flowers. Kalanchoes are native to arid areas, so they prefer warm, sunny locations and drier soil; be careful not to over-water.

Feed them bi-weekly in the summer with a liquid fertilizer. These plants will bloom for a long time, and their glossy leaves keep them looking great year-round. Just pinch back the spent flowers to encourage reblooming.

This plant is gorgeous but poisonous to animals, so please keep it out of reach.

F26 |

Spring

To get the most out of your cyclamen, be sure you grow them in the correct conditions.

They prefer cool, humid environments. Keep them in a room that gets no warmer than 68 degrees (anything below 40 degrees is also undesirable), and position in indirect sunlight. Cyclamen are sensitive to both under- and over-watering; water only when the soil becomes dry, but be careful not to let plant remain dry for too long. If cyclamen completely dry out, they will show signs with drooping leaves and flowers and may not recover. Fertilize only once every two months with a liquid fertilizer mixed at half strength.

This heavily flowering houseplant comes in a rainbow of colors. Primrose thrives in moist, well-drained soil. As soon as the top of the soil feels dry, it’s time to water again. The plant will begin to wilt and die quickly once it completely dries out. Position these in indirect sunlight and fertilize monthly. Once temperatures warm up outside, it’s a good idea to set your primrose outdoors. Bring it in again once temperatures begin to drop below 50 degrees.

Paperwhites

Nothing captures the crisp serenity of winter quite like the paperwhite narcissus. You can purchase bulbs in the late fall, but this time of year, you’ll find pre-forced plants at garden centers and grocery stores. Keep your potted paperwhites in a sunny spot and water them often. As the shoots elongate, turn the pot to prevent leaning, which can weaken the stems.

homework] Dear Homework,

Our home is one of four row house-type condos in Old Town Clayton. The side of our unit faces the street, and has a basement-level garage. Can you suggest ways that we might improve this de facto front elevation?

Sincerely, —Putting Our Best Face Forward

Dear Putting Our Best Face Forward,

After

before

This is a difficult architectural question. In general, I like the way your existing evergreens help to hide the garage door from the street. The taller evergreens also seem to give your side yard (‘front yard’) great privacy, so I think they should stay. That means only architectural changes are open to us, not leaving many options.

The first change I would suggest would be to power wash the retaining wall and paint the exposed basement wall gray to match the retaining wall. Next, I would upgrade the doors and paint them a glossy black. A new, bolder light fixture finishes off this area.

You also will notice a new copper roof with decorative brackets at the side door. This feature matches the roof on the existing box-bay window, which gives the elevation a sense of unity. I also show a new flower box to add color and privacy to the side terrace.

The final area of change is to add double shutters at the oddly spaced second floor windows. I would paint these black and add window boxes, as well.

These small changes help give the side façade a more finished look as befits its prominent street orientation.

Thanks for asking, —Homework
