[ letter from the editor ] Today’s story on the Summer Opportunities Fair reminds me of all the years I attended that event, stressing (in January) over what to do with the kids during summer break. Getting all those summer camps together in one big room is pure genius (that is, until your kids get old enough to ask why they can’t go to that camp in the Galapagos).

I’ll never forget my first camp fair, when I enrolled my 6-yearold in a two-week session at Burr Oak. Pretty naive. With two babies under age 3 at home, it took about a day of door-to-door bus service and camp-provided lunches to realize I’d made a terrible miscalculation. I immediately phoned the director and begged him to keep her for the other three sessions. Disaster averted.

But not all camp experiences ended that well. There was the year I sent two of the kids to Gifted Resource Council’s summer program and found out they weren’t gifted. And the time my youngest waited on a parking lot for us to get her after two weeks at go-away camp, but we had the pick-up date wrong on the calendar.

She’s 30 now, but still brings it up.

My favorite camp memory, however, is associated with the summer classes our kids attended at the Zoo, which taught them all about animal traits and habits. Eager to share what she’d learned, my middle daughter came home one day to inform me that it is essential we stop the car whenever we pass a dead opossum on the road. After all, there could still be babies in its pouch that needed rescuing.

I think that was their last summer at Zoo camp.

heart ball

the american heart association by tony di martino The statistics are sobering: Cardiovascular diseases are America’s No. 1 killer, responsible for nearly 18,000 deaths a year in Missouri alone. The American Heart Association wants to change those numbers. Since 1924, the organization has united volunteers, researchers, medical professionals, corporations, individual donors and survivors in the fight to build healthier lives.

“Families everywhere benefit from the lifesaving technology and community education programs we fund,” says Tracy Brazelton, executive director of the Greater St. Louis Division of the American Heart Association. The organization invests more than $110 million a year in research nationwide, paving the way for innovations such as bypass surgery, artificial heart valves, microsurgery and life-extending drugs. “In the last five years alone, we’ve supported 150 studies at leading Missouri institutions, including Washington University, Saint Louis University and University of Missouri,” she adds. “We’re the nation’s leading resource for the next generation of discoveries.”

The annual Heart Ball, Feb. 16 at The Ritz-Carlton, provides urgently needed financial support. “So many of my family members and friends, including my mother, have been stricken with cardiovascular diseases or stroke,” says gala chair Warner Baxter, president and CEO of Ameren Missouri. “I really wanted to step in and help the American Heart Association encourage healthy behavioral changes at Ameren Missouri and in the entire community.

The Heart Ball is a terrific opportunity to generate funds for research, education and activity-based programs, while also enhancing awareness of how the association partners with the philanthropic, corporate and medical communities to fight heart disease.”

Heart Ball vice chair Steve Martenet, president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Missouri and HealthLink, also cites personal reasons for working with the American Heart Association. “My father and father-in-law have suffered heart disease and stroke; my mentor had a massive heart attack and died,” he says. “These diseases have caused so much pain and loss to so many families in our nation. The Heart Ball brings together St. Louis’ most influential leaders to raise funds for research and community outreach activities. My involvement underscores Anthem’s commitment to improve the lives of those we serve and the health of our community.”

Other Heart Ball sponsors include World Wide Technology, DuPont and Mercy.

Entertainment will be provided by The Saint Louis All Stars, Ralph Butler, Kim Massie, Velvet & Satin of The Fabulous Motown Revue, and special guest Theo Peoples of The Four Tops.

“The Heart Ball honors those who’ve contributed to our year-long campaign and celebrates the lives saved because of the American Heart Association’s efforts,” Brazelton says. “By the year 2020, we hope to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent, while also reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent. It’s an ambitious goal, and we can’t do it without community support. Working together, we can ensure longer, healthier lives for ourselves and our loved ones.”

the[in]sider [ Fore! ] Local golfer Scott Langley will be joining the 2013 PGA Tour when it tees off in Hawaii next month. Langley, who lives in Manchester, recently shot a 4-under-par 68 in the final round of qualifying in La Quinta, Calif., making him one of the top 25 finishers in the qualifying tournament. Langley perfected his swing as a member of The Country Club of St. Albans.

[ Every Child’s Dream ] Future architects and engineers (and their moms), hold on to your slide rules! A Lego Store is opening next May at West County Center. The store will feature an interactive play area and every conceivable Lego brick and element.

[ Make Room for Kids ]

Kids in the Middle, an agency that provides counseling for children and families coping with separation, divorce and remarriage, recently moved to larger offices at 2650 S. Hanley Road in Maplewood. The move more than doubles the nonprofit’s square footage and consolidates all services at a single location.

[ Winging It ] Wings of Hope, a St. Louis-based organization that works for peace and poverty reduction, recently participated in the dedication of a new school and library in a remote area of Cambodia. The school will enable children and adults in the rural village of Bak Chinchien to learn to read, write and do basic math.

[ The Flying Roof ] Ideally, architecturally significant buildings never die; they just get re-purposed. Spiegelglass Construction is building a new Shane Co. jewelry store at 9643 Olive Blvd., in the space occupied by Flotkens Super Market from 1962 until 1985. Many who admire the distinctive Olivette structure will be glad to know that, while the interior will be completely renovated, Spiegelglass is retaining its iconic V-shaped roof, dubbed ‘the flying wing roof.’ The St. Louis County Historic Buildings Commission once called the building “an outstanding example of mid-century architecture, worthy of preservation.”

[ Top Attorney ] Best Lawyers in America 2013 has named David V. Capes, of Capes, Sokol, Goodman & Sarachan, St. Louis’ Lawyer of the Year in the Criminal Defense: White Collar category. The peer-reviewed Best Lawyers list, published annually, is regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Only a single attorney in each specialty and community receives ‘lawyer of the year’ honors. Capes and his wife, Judy, live in Clayton.

A composition and recording by local jazz songstress Erin Body has received a 2012 Global Award for best health care advertising. Bode and co-writer Adam Maness were recognized for The Space Between, which was used in an advertising campaign for St. Louis Children’s Hospital. The song incorporated the heartbeat of young patient Katelyn Jackson. It’s available on iTunes, and a portion of the proceeds goes to the hospital.

[ Generous Gift ] In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Ageless-Remarkable St. Louisans Gala, a benefit for St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors, former honoree Marvin Wool and his wife, Harlene, sponsored a $50,000 matching gift challenge. Gala guests rose to the challenge and generated an additional $100,000 to help more than 8,000 area seniors served by St. Andrew’s each year.

[ The Little Car that Could ] Kemp Auto Museum has just the thing for kids (and parents) suffering from post-holiday doldrums. Herbie the Love Bug, the four-wheeled star of numerous Disney movies, is on display through February. The car, from the 1977 film Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, features custom wide wheels and Italian-manufactured Carello fog lights. The exhibition includes an audio podcast about Herbie’s development. Also on display are other cars that share aesthetic ties to the 1963 Volkswagon Beetle, such as the 1931 370 S Mannheim Mercedes and the 1960 Porsche 356.

[ Help for the Homeless ] St. Patrick Center is expanding McMurphy’s Grill, its longest-running employment training program for the homeless. The popular downtown restaurant, originally established in 1990, is moving from its longtime location on 11th Street to the ground floor of the Center’s headquarters at 100 N. Tucker Blvd. Doors are scheduled to open later this year. … Also aiding the indigent, the Realtor Housing Assistance Fund donated more than $33,000 this year to area charities for the homeless.

2013 MLA SATURDAY LECTURE SERIES

Back from left: Judy Hutcheson, Lynne Piening, Kathleen Mikalajczak, Cynthia Dickinson, Nancy Bartel | Front: Pam Crane, Martha Jane Mohler, Janet Powell, Daun Hashbarger

bookshelf LEAP by rebecca koenig About the club Called LEAP for short, the Literary Epicurean Adventuring Pilgrims book club was created in 1978 by a group of school teachers in Kirkwood. Book-lover Martha Jane Mohler joined in the early ’80s. “Now we all are fairly close friends,” she says. “It’s evolved over the years.” The group meets in the morning once a month at a member’s home for coffeecake and fruit, and the hostess gives a brief book presentation. The discussion that follows enlivens even the works that aren’t Mohler’s favorites. “I think every book you find something to admire about it,” she says. “You see something you hadn’t seen that somebody else had.” Members also take trips together and celebrate birthdays. “I think it’s a once-a-month thing we all really look forward to,” Mohler says.

“When you discuss books and thoughts and opinions, there’s a closeness with people that you don’t realize.”

About the book Memory and meaning are examined in The Sense of an Ending, a novel by Julian Barnes. Narrator Tony Webster must reexamine the events of his life when an old school friend commits suicide and a former girlfriend’s mother leaves him two documents in her will.

[Backtalk a new kind of advice column by raschelle burton & patty hannum My friend’s house is a mess! There are piles of books, newspapers and magazines everywhere. Dirty dishes are piled high in the sink and I would rather go to the bathroom at the gas station! What should I do?

—My Friend is Pig Pen

Like T&S on FAcebook FoLLow uS on TwiTTer

Patty: Just because she is your friend doesn’t mean you ever have to enter her house again. She knows her house is a mess but it is obviously not a high priority. I suggest when you two plan to hang out either do it at your house or Starbucks. You could consider giving her a gift certificate to a cleaning service, but she’ll probably be insulted and it might end the friendship. You, however, should never be in an environment that makes you uncomfortable. Claim a bad case of allergies if needed. Now, I am assuming your friend is just messy and not a hoarder. If she is a hoarder, please write again, because I am somewhat of an expert on this topic, having viewed at least two seasons of Hoarders on the A & E channel.

Raschelle: First of all, ew! I’m not a big fan of messes unless they are confined to my car, and then pretty much anything goes. Back to your friend, you must tell her; it is a cry for help. She’s really no different than the woman next to you on the plane who downs three mini-bottles of merlot and a couple of Cadbury Eggs before you even reach cruising altitude. Your friend is, in effect, eating her feelings and you owe it to her to reach out. Tell her and then offer her some help in cleaning and organizing the place – you may want to slip her your therapist’s business card while you’re at it. When my kids refuse to pick up their junk or make their beds, I just say: “messy bed, messy head” and they know exactly what that means.

A very good friend of mine recently forgot my birthday, something she never does. Actually, she remembers everyone’s birthday and usually arranges for a group gift from our friends. Should I tell her or just let it go?

—Forgotten Friend

Patty: Tell her. Not because you want to get a good gift but to save her the embarrassment! If you don’t, I guarantee you, she will wake up one night in five months and remember your birthday and feel miserable about forgetting it. Then she will have to call you, beg forgiveness and try to figure out a way to make it up to you. You will be forced to say, Oh, it’s no big deal! when in fact, it hurt your feelings. I don’t expect a lot from my friends but I do expect them to remember my birthday and help me celebrate it. Does that make me sound like I am a 6-year-old? Probably, but it’s my one day out of the year, and my close friends know it.

To prevent this from happening in the future, use my technique: About 30 days beforehand start lamenting about how old you are going to be. The hint will be taken and everyone will be happy.

Raschelle: No, don’t tell her unless you’re actually 6 years old. Anything over that and you’re in major faux pas territory. You have no idea why she ‘forgot’ your birthday. Maybe she didn’t forget at all.

Maybe she just wants to stop celebrating another friend’s birthday every week. Maybe she’s dedicating all her disposable income to her 401k, or her kids’ college fund. Maybe she’s breaking up with you. We will never know. The point is you shouldn’t be having this conversation with anyone, ever. Now go buy yourself something nice, wrap it up in the best paper you can find, and leave it on your pillow. >> Raschelle Burton makes her bed EVERY SINGLE DAY. >> Patty Hannum does not.

by charlie brennan [ The Rep’s current production of Good People should bring back memories for Bernice Irwin, a native of south Boston where the play takes place. In fact, Irwin, former director of nursing at McKnight Place Extended Care, used to frequent the South Boston Boys and Girls Club, as did the show’s playwright, David Lindsay-Abaire. Two of the club’s employees, Anne Gordon and Pattie McCormick, noticed potential in young David and secured him a scholarship to the prestigious Milton Academy. Since then, he has garnered a Pulitzer Prize and five Tony nominations ]

Now that Ann Wagner of Ballwin has officially succeeded him in the U.S. House of Representatives, Todd Akin will continue to fade from memory. (Well, maybe not. Perhaps his statements about women’s reproducton during last fall’s campaign against Claire McCaskill will be a watershed in gender politics.)

Wagner, longtime GOP leader at the state and national level, was sworn in Jan. 3 with her fellow House freshmen (and women) who joined Congress for its 113th session. She will serve on the House Committee on Financial Services.

office will reside. Its neighbors include an Outback Steakhouse and Pier 1, but it will be a physician-staffed facility offering such walk-in services as radiography, drug testing, physicals and even the mending of broken bones. Some people refer to such satellite offices as ‘doc-in-the-box,’ but hospital-owned urgent care facilities may just be the way of the future. At any rate, they’re bound to give corporate drugstores like Walgreens a good run for their money, since the latter keep offering an increasingly broad array of ‘wellness’ services—administered, in our area, by nurse practitioners.

It took awhile for the dangerous drug LSD, which helped define the counterculture of the 1960s, to officially be declared illegal.

But similar formulations keep coming.

The medical community has decades of experiential data to rely on when someone enters the ER during a socalled acid ‘trip.’ But consciencefree chemists keep creating similar substances, most recently one with a very long chemical name known as the ‘N-Bomb.’ Following the frightening experience with the drug her daughter had after a New Year’s Eve party, a Chesterfield mom brought the incident to the attention of city authorities and the federal DEA. The feds may investigate the party in Wildwood where teens allegedly sold alcoholic drinks laced with the deadly drug.

Although there were unfamiliar drunks stumbling around in his backyard, did this concerned Kirkwood homeowner call the cops? No; he got hold of Bi-State Wildlife Hotline. The drunks were songbirds. A wildlife specialist told the caller the birds had apparently had their fill of fermented berries and should recover after a while. What could the nonprofit’s next call be about? Perhaps someone curious about picking up that cute baby raccoon just sitting out in the yard. (Advice: DON’T touch it. It could have rabies.) The hotline, which bills itself as ‘Missouri’s answer to the call of the wild’ and also operates in Illinois, has advised callers what to do (and not do) about critter encounters, including those with squirrels, chipmunks, hawks, owls, foxes, deer, skunks and bats. FYI: Hawks can get tipsy on those berries, too.

Des Peres Hospital— more accurately, Tenet Healthcare—is slated to open a second urgentcare location in West County by June. Even though ‘paint’ and ‘accessories’ were still advertised recently in the window of the shuttered Sherwin-Williams store at 15420 Manchester Road in Ellisville Plaza, that’s where the new medical

Rachelle L’Ecuyer is a force to be reckoned with.

First off, woe to anyone who gets her name wrong.

Politely but firmly, she’ll correct a caller, and the right way appears below her name on emails, in parentheses: Pronounced: Ra-shell Le-kwee-ay. At any rate, we at T&S

have developed a warm relationship with L’Ecuyer, Maplewood’s inhouse marketer who’s been named Businessperson of the Year for and by the community she’s so ably represented since being hired seven years ago as Maplewood’s first-ever director of community development.

Does it irk her that spell-check wants her last name to be ‘Lecturer’? Hmmm.

Count on her to let us know.

Perhaps the naked knucklehead cavorting solo behind the bar at Pasta House in LambertSt. Louis International Airport was auditioning for an episode of Drunk Men Gone Wild? But, according to someone who viewed the tape, it isn’t a show anybody wants to see.

Beantown haters, get your bile flowing: Cops identified the inebriated dude who broke into the bar around 11 p.m. the Sunday after New Year’s as a Massachusetts man, age 24. Perhaps he wasn’t drunk when he got there, but he certainly bobbed and weaved his way back into and around the airport next morning around 5 a.m. That, after sampling some wine and a number of other intoxicants, not to mention cigarettes and chewing tobacco—all on the house.

When we sat down at the bar the night after the escapade (for a Coke

and some toasted ravs), the fellow who sat down at an adjacent stool couldn’t get Hennessey, light rocks, because that bottle of cognac was among about a dozen the cops had confiscated as evidence. A few wine bottles were among the missing, as well as no fewer than five brands of tequila, in the aftermath of the one-man frat party.

He wasn’t much for glassware, either, drinking straight from the bottle—or, sampling the beers on tap direct from spigot to mouth. And his clothes were on again, off again.

Except for his skivvies—which were left behind, along with his cellphone.

Cops finally found him asleep, interrupting a world-record-challenging hangover to arrest him—but not until that afternoon. One has to wonder what took them so long. Yes, he wreaked his havoc during the graveyard shift, when not much happens. But until he passed out, he must have gotten pretty obnoxious: most drunks are LOUD. One room at Myseum, the hands-on science museum that opened in Town & Country last fall, sounded like a production of Stomp. One garbage can was equipped with electronic pads that echoed the various booms, rat-tat-tats and cymbal crashes of a drum set. The other featured—aha!—a dog, rooster and cow.

TOWN TALK

Myseum

Whatever age they were, visitors obviously delighted in banging on stuff—or making beautiful music on a xylophone made of crescent wrenches.

Folks could compose a computerized symphony by weaving their hands between laser beams to activate musical phrases from brass to percussion.

This delightful attraction is the brainchild of former financial guy Jeff Deutch, who took a leap of faith when the market went sour and pulled together family (including wife Jana and pre-schooler Jesse, plus an uncle with an engineering background “who can build anything”).

Behind this storefront in Lamp & Lantern Village, a big pull is … wait for it! ... magnetism. Magnets attach movable sections of PVC pipe to a wall for kids to build various pathways for a ball to roll down and through. Reverse polarity makes it hard to push down washers floating above one another along a metal bar, because they jump right back up. A pendulum jerks away from the central point in its arc until it slows, snapping into place. Or, there’s the magnetic ‘bridge,’ where rapt kids feed handfuls of sand-like iron filings between two poles until they meet.

Out of breath after an hour or so, my sophisticated 14-year-old gave it two thumbs up. The highlight for her: microscope lenses built into a tabletop surface that you can slide coins and paper money, fabric and fingertips across for great enlargement on computer screens.

Hey, little kids! There’s a slide and various custom-built inflatables! Hey, adult-sized kids! There are places for you to relax and recharge before catching up with the little ones. Educational?

Many exhibits support the Show-MeStandards educational requirements.

Fun? Two birthday parties were in progress on the Sunday we visited.

In some parts of the metro area, levees have been raised and reinforced to guard against the next major flood. In the Deer Creek watershed, that isn’t practical— the creek, responsible for the deadly September 2008 flash flood in Hurricane Ike’s aftermath, runs right through the residential and business districts of several communities. But U. City has taken a proactive approach: a monetary incentive for landscaping that delays or prevents runoff.

Deadline application for the program, which may provide 75 percent reimbursement of approved expenses up to $2,000, is March 1. Funds could cover a rain barrel, landscaping to improve drainage, even trees and shrubs to help retain what grasses may not. Deer Creek Watershed Alliance, a program of Missouri Botanical Garden, provides details at deercreekalliance. org; information also is available at U. City’s public library and city hall.

Webster Groves school district stands to save $1.8 million by refinancing $9.5 million in series 2006 general obligation bonds. Savvy financial management is a key to the AA+ rating from Standard & Poor’s, which has ranked the district among the top six statewide. Also, Cindy Neu is tops of those closest to the top among St. Louis educators. Translation: Neu, assistant principal at Avery Elementary, was named Assistant Principal of the Year by the St. Louis Elementary Principals Association. Congrats!

[Time Out... with michael brockers

by jeff melnick

Being a first-round draft pick comes with lofty expectations, and St. Louis Rams’ defensive tackle Michael Brockers has lived up to them. Drafted by the Rams 14th overall to solidify the defense and stop the run, Brockers has done just that, after missing the first three games of the year to an ankle injury. Town & Style caught up with Brockers recently to see how he has adjusted to life in St. Louis.

Q. You come from a big family. What kind of support did they give you as the draft was nearing last year?

A: Well I’m the oldest of five so I’ve always been the father figure of the family and during the draft they really showed me a lot of support.

Q. What did it mean to you, being a first-round pick in the NFL draft?

A: It was a blessing, really, coming from where I came from. My mom and my grandmother raised me to be a

righteous person, and I think it paid off. I had always dreamed about it and then it happened.

Q. What’s been your favorite thing about St. Louis?

A: The different cultures. Up here you’ve got Italian food, you’ve got barbecue. It’s in the middle of the

country so you’ve got a little bit of everything.

Q. What’s been the coolest stadium to visit?

A: It had to be London. (The Rams played the New England Patriots there). That’s the first time I’ve been out

of the country. I’d seen Wembley Stadium during the Olympics, and then I end up playing there. It wasn’t a good game, but just being in London and visiting Buckingham Palace was a great experience.

Q. Who was your idol growing up?

A: Julius Peppers and Javon Kearse were the top two I watched all the time and who I wanted to be like.

Q. Biggest buy since you became a pro?

A: Probably my mom’s house.

Q. What kind of car do you drive?

A: A Range Rover—I love it. I had to give myself a present. My wife doesn’t like it because I fixed it up, and it

has the rims and all that.

Q. Favorite places where you and your wife like to eat out?

A: We have really started to love Fleming’s. I love the carrot cake, and they have good wines too.

Q. How would you evaluate your first season in St. Louis?

A: It’s been just wonderful. I was so excited to play; I love the team, and I love the system, and that’s all any

player can ask for.

Burr Oak Camp For boys and girls in preschool through sixth grade

Summer opportunities fair

Three two-week sessions June 17 through July 26 No camp on July 4

For information, call 314/993-4040 or visit the Burr Oak pages at www.jburroughs.org

by catherine klene

www.jburroughs.org • 314/993-4040

A whiff of bonfire smoke and the buzz (or bite) of a mosquito can

summon waves of nostalgia for those with fond summer camp memories. But camps are no longer limited to treks in the woods and canoeing on the lake; nowadays, kids are just as likely to be found tinkering in university science labs, running drills on the basketball court, or in the case of Helen Kouvelis’ son, cycling across Vermont.

Kouvelis discovered Overland, which features group biking and hiking excursions, at the Summer Opportunities Fair. The annual event, sponsored by MICDS, John Burroughs School and Whitfield School, gives St. Louis families the chance to learn about summer programs geared to children ages 3 to 18. This year, it takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Jan. 26 at JBS. Kouvelis, who co-chairs the free event with fellow JBS parent Kathleen Rodgers, attended it as an interested mother for the past 12 years. And she isn’t the only one in her family who looks forward to it; her nautical-minded daughter found an ideal water-sports camp at Catalina Island. “I think it’s neat that you can pick and choose what you really like,” Kouvelis says. “It shouldn’t be a decision just for the parents. My daughter was so excited to see what she didn’t even know was out there.”

For 37 years, the Summer Opportunities Fair has featured programs ranging from local day-camps to traditional overnight camps to international excursions. Parents and children can visit the 160 booths and speak to representatives to get a firsthand account of what each camp offers. “The surprising thing was the number of the teenage travel camps that arrange for travel aboard. There’s also adventure camps that target an older group,” Kouvelis says. “And a lot of academic camps—kids could study at the university or do a course in writing, art or theater.” After the fair, interested parents and children can revisit their favorite camps online at Virtual Camp Fair, which links directly to many of the represented camps, from Feb. 1 to Sept. 1.

Kouvelis says summer camps and programs help cultivate new interests, bolster self-esteem and introduce children to other kids from different cultures and walks of life. “Our world is getting smaller and smaller, and it’s another way for them to go out and experience something,” she says. “It’s an experience they don’t have in their own environment and gives them the ability to focus on something they have a passion for that they can’t get locally. By letting their child go, parents are fostering independence in a safe environment.”

TOWN TALK

parent trap whycamp rocks] by dr. tim jordan I have been running summer camps for 22 years, so I have seen firsthand the value of sending kids to camp. And it was with great pleasure that I read Michael Thompson’s book, Homesick and Happy, because he describes in great detail why the camp experience is so valuable and unique.

It reminded me of a challenge we gave to a group of middle and high school boys last summer on our Peaceful Warrior Night. They were given some 2-by-2-foot boards, inner tubes and rope, and challenged to build a raft that could carry them and our staff across the lake. The looks on their faces as they somehow managed to paddle all 25 of us to our destination at sunset was an unforgettable mixture of astonishment and joy.

That kind of adventure tends to happen best when you leave home: just ask Frodo Baggins, Luke Skywalker and Harry Potter. There is a greater sense of fulfillment from experiences at camp because the kids own them. At camp, you choose your friends and activities with no thoughts of pleasing your parents. The results of their actions are all theirs because they did the work and made it happen.

Camp also gives kids the opportunity to be more creative and use their imaginations. I have so many incredible memories of kids performing crazy skits, making up songs and creating new games that wouldn’t happen at school. It’s just different at camp: fewer inhibitions and more occasions for inventiveness mean high energy, creativity and fun.

One of our staff’s favorite goals is pure, spontaneous fun, because those are the moments that are most memorable.

Kids feel freer at camp because they can get away from all the pressures, evaluations, comparisons and judgments of the school year. Because their family and school friends aren’t present, they have the opportunity to see themselves as who they want to be versus who they are supposed to be.

Campers also learn a ton about building community.

They learn to take into account the needs of cabin mates and the entire camp. There is a level of trust, camaraderie and closeness that is unique and magical. Kids tell me every year that “camp is not like the real world” and that we have become their second family. The combination of being out in nature, slowing things down and the closeness and sense of community gives camp a spiritual tone that is unlike everyday life.

Finally, camp provides some powerful opportunities for leadership. Our campers run talent shows and create, plan and run their afternoon and evening activities. Most camps have counselors-in-training, who are working to become full-fledged camp counselors. Having the chance to step up, make things happen, and guide and mentor younger kids is tremendous training in leadership, communication and teamwork.

Tim Jordan, m.d., is a behavioral pediatrician who counsels kids in grade school through high school. for more information, go to weloki.com

The 54th Annual Fleur de Lis Charity Ball to benefit SSM Cardinal Glennon Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital was celebrated Dec. 29 at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch. That evening, 36 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. John P. Boldt served as ball chairwoman, and Mrs. Paul B. Vatterott Jr. as president of the Fleur de Lis organization, which to date has contributed more than $2.7 million to Cardinal Glennon in its mission to heal sick children.

SAINT LOUIS

PSYCHOANALYTIC INSTITUTE

i

n a society where physical health is constantly discussed, conversations about mental health issues can sometimes be overlooked. The St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute aims to change that by providing the community with support, treatment and education about mental health. “We promote insight into the mind and emotions to promote healthy development in children, adolescents and adults,” says president Robin Turner. “Dynamic partnerships are forged between therapist and patient, teacher and student, parent and child.”

St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute connects clients with a range of psychological professionals who specialize in everything from trauma to child development to aging. Turner says the Institute works with clients so that cost is not a deterrent to seeking treatment. “The Schiele Clinic of the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute offers professional treatment on a sliding-fee basis,” she says. “Of course, this requires financial support from the community.”

The Institute offers a variety of other programs aimed at educating people about their own psychological well-being, as well as expanding their understanding of core human dilemmas. “We will provide some courses on aging and the impact of an aging population,” says executive director Cathy Krane. “We also will focus on cultural diversity; specifically, how do we understand and relate to each other when we come from very different backgrounds?”

Community education classes include several child development seminars.

There also will be film and documentary screenings throughout the year.

Films will feature topics from social taboos to the trauma soldiers and others face after killing someone. “Attendees will have the chance to share their thoughts and insights with psychoanalysts after the films and performances,” Krane says. “We want to start a public dialogue about the issues.”

mission | To promote mental health through psychoanalytic education, treatment and investigation history| In 1956, Herbert S. Schiele and Drs. Conrad Sommer, Hyman Fingert and Alex Kaplan gathered influential St. Louisans who saw the need to increase opportunities for adult psychoanalytic treatment and promote psychoanalytic education and research. In 1974, the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Foundation was granted training facility status by the American Psychoanalytic Association and became the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute.

cardinal glennon children’s foundation i

n the early 1950s, Archbishop Joseph E. Ritter called upon St. Louis Catholics to build the only free-standing Catholic pediatric hospital in America. Brick by brick, dollar by dollar, parishioners donated to build Cardinal Glennon Memorial Children’s Hospital, which opened its doors in 1956. It was named after John J. Glennon, archbishop of St. Louis from 1903 to 1946, whose mission was to create a health care facility for all children in need.

“Today, SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center has grown into a world-renowned pediatric hospital, specializing in neonatology, cardiology, cancer services, pediatric and fetal surgery,” says Dan Buck, executive director of Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation. The Foundation generates funding and support for the medical center, sustaining a wide range of programs, services and facilities, including the Bob Costas Cancer Center and the Dana Brown Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

“Our researchers work tirelessly to find cures for diseases that affect children, and our physicians and staff save lives every day,” Buck says. “Thanks to the leadership and commitment of our board of governors and the generosity of our community, we never turn away a sick child, even if their family can’t afford health care.”

Thirteen-year-old Maggie Bohannan was diagnosed with T-cell leukemia in December 2011. With treatment, steroids eliminated the masses in her chest and cleared the bone marrow of leukemia.

During her initial admission to SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, Maggie formed a friendship with St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday, his wife Leslee, and their three children. Smiling as she recalls their first meeting, Maggie says the visit was a complete surprise and the Hollidays brought her an autographed Louisville Slugger bat.

With the support of our community and charitable athletes like Matt, thousands of kids are able play their favorite sports again, like softball, soccer and football and get on the road to a full recovery from injury and illness.

chesterfield arts A

rt Feast, Chesterfield Arts’ signature gala, funds arts programming, education, and outreach year round. Chesterfield Arts partners with business leaders such as Platinum Sponsor Sterling Bank and Visionary Award recipients such as the City of Chesterfield and PNC, to make the arts available to the entire region.

This year, funding supports a University Sculpture Competition. Student finalists will present their concepts to Chesterfield Arts and a winner will be announced in March. The result will be a professionally fabricated outdoor sculpture unveiled in Chesterfield Fall 2013. “We want to give emerging student sculptors the opportunity to learn through the project and build their careers,” says executive director, Stacey Morse.

Chesterfield Arts’ Kaleidoscope Program also provides creative opportunities for children with special needs. Inspirations is an exhibition where artwork created by disabled youth is paired with a professional artist. Each artist creates a companion piece inspired by the work of the child. The two pieces are then displayed together.

“On opening night 2012, kids were beaming, and parents were so proud,” Morse recalls. “Their children had become much more confident and had also gained new creative and social skills. It became more than an art project; it changed their lives.”

[ All About Eyes by mary konroy

Sultry or sad, wide open or sagging, eyes can define and age us.

They are our windows to the world.

In this issue, local physicians discuss common eye conditions that impair vision, new technology to improve it, and techniques to remove bothersome eye bags and dark shadows.

[ macular degeneration ] [ lasik ] “LASIK is the most common laser refractive surgery performed in the world, and wavefront technology makes it better,” says Dr. Stephen Wexler of Eye Care Associates of St. Louis. “LASIK, an acronym for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, involves creating a tiny flap in the corneal tissue, pulling the flap out of the way and using a second laser to resculpt the patient’s cornea according to their prescription.”

Wavefront technology helps guide the laser, producing a detailed map, or fingerprint, of how light waves travel through the eye, Wexler says.

“An eye with perfect vision has a flat wavefront; an eye with imperfect vision has an irregular wavefront,” he explains. “This information is used to program the laser for customized treatment.”

Wavefront-assisted LASIK corrects the basic prescription and subtle vision imperfections. The result? “We provide more accurate treatment with a greater likelihood of excellent visual results,” Wexler says. The procedure has its limits, however.

“LASIK corrects for optimal distance vision, but does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, especially after age 45.”

The surgery is easy to undergo with minimal recovery time, Wexler adds. “Choose your surgeon wisely. Make sure they’re experienced — high volume is good — and that they use state-of-the-art equipment.”

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people 60 years and older.

Dr. Nancy Holekamp, Director of Retina Services, Pepose Vision Institute Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) never makes you totally blind, but it can leave you legally blind. Even in advanced cases, you can still function somewhat normally, but you can no longer read or drive. It does not affect peripheral vision.

AMD affects the center of the retina, the macula. There are two forms of AMD: dry and wet. Dry is considered the ‘better’ form of the disease. Its progression is slow, and people with it can have good vision for many years. High doses of certain vitamins can provide benefit —when the disease is moderate to advanced. However, a lot of older people take these vitamins needlessly. There is no cure.

Dry macular degeneration can abruptly convert into wet macular degeneration without warning, and this can lead to legal blindness in a few days or weeks.

Fortunately, we have treatment, but it’s injections in the eye.

Injections are administered every month for three months and then as needed. Most people need seven injections a year. Wet AMD is manageable if caught early. Although AMD is a chronic disease, we are managing it better than ever before.

Dr. Kumar Rao, associate professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences, W.U. We depend on the macula for fine tasks like reading. The macula is located in the middle of the retina, which is a nerve layer that lines the back of the eye. Age-related macular degeneration results in vision loss in the center of your field of vision.

Most people start with the dry form of the disease, which we have no great treatment for, but we can slow down its progression with multi-vitamin therapy specifically designed for eye health. The vitamin should say that on its label. We can also encourage lifestyle changes to eliminate risk factors, like smoking cessation and controlling high blood pressure.

Wet macular degeneration is characterized by abnormal blood vessels that bleed and leak fluid under the macula. It is treated with intra-ocular injections that contain a special chemical messenger to turn off the signal promoting blood vessel growth and, consequently, slow disease progression.

We are working diligently to control both forms of the disease and are currently conducting clinical trials.

[ eliminating dark circles & eye bags ] Dr. John Holds, Ophthalmic Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Inc. The most common cause of dark circles under the eyes is shadowing of the tear trough below the eye bag. The tear trough is a groove that develops between the eyelid and the cheekbone with the passage of time. It’s predictable, age-related and happens to most everyone.

A dermal filler can make the trough less prominent in younger people. However, a lower-lid blepharoplasty accomplishes the desired results in most people. It also is used to correct eye bags, which occur with the loss of facial fat and the increased definition of the tear trough.

The classic approach to a lower lid blepharoplasty is to make an incision below the eyelashes in the lower lid and remove excess skin and fat. I perform a fat-repositioning blepharoplasty to reduce fat in the eyelid and fill in the tear trough, which lifts the junction between the cheek and the

eyelid for a smoother appearance. Depending on the patient, you can shave five to 10 years off their appearance, but the clock starts ticking again.

Dr. Michael Nayak, Nayak Plastic Surgery Eye bags occur when fat deep in the eye socket bulges outward. The bulge casts shadows that appear as dark undereye circles on the tear trough. Eye bags are located above the eye socket rim, and the tear trough is at or just below the rim.

Overhead lighting makes these conditions look worse.

A dermal filler may be all that is needed for people who don’t have much of a bag. A filler takes minutes to inject and usually lasts a year. People with significant eye bags need surgery to remove the excess fat that caused the bulge. This is accomplished with a lower lid blepharoplasty — an eyelid lift. To create a smooth surface, we remove excess facial fat and inject it where there is not enough fat. It’s like leveling land: We take down hills and backfill where needed. Laser treatment or a chemical peel to improve skin texture may follow the blepharoplasty.

Treating dark circle and eye bags is extremely gratifying and effective and requires an individualized approach.

HEALTH&BEAUTY

[ dry eye ]

The perfect camp for your kid!

What can you do when your eyes itch, burn, and feel gritty and dry—and over-the-counter drops don’t help?

Dr. Kevin Greuloc, owner, Complete Eye Care Dry eye is a syndrome where there is a deficiency in the tear film that coats the eye.

Symptoms include burning, dryness, foreign-body sensation and blurred vision. Dry eye can be a phenomenon of aging, be exacerbated by the environment, or be rooted with an underlying medical condition like rheumatoid arthritis. It’s also associated with hormonal imbalance, especially as women go through menopause.

The simplest way of treating dry eye is to replace the leaking tear film with artificial teardrops, or with prescribed medications like Restasis, which stimulate the lacrimal glands. These glands, located above the upper outer corner of each eye, produce tears.

An office-based procedure also can provide relief. It uses tiny silicone ‘stoppers,’ called punctal plugs, that are inserted into the tear ducts of the lower lid to prevent drainage of tears and increase the tear film. If conventional treatment doesn’t work, some centers take the patient’s blood and spin it in a centrifuge to create a serum for eye drops. Usually, however, we can treat dry eye very easily.

Dr. Kevin Hinshaw, Eye Specialists of West County Eyes get dryer as one grows older. True dry eye is a reduction in the watery layer of the tears. But about 70 to 80 percent of people who think they have dry eye do not. They have meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a problem with the meibomian glands that produce the lipid (oily) layer of the tear film. This outermost layer prevents the rapid evaporation of tears. In MGD, oil on the tear film thickens like Crisco, stagnates and plugs the meibomian glands.

Patients will have sudden bursts of tearing, decreased reading stamina, and red eyes early in the day.

The first course in treating MGD is oral, omega-3 fatty acid capsules. Some artificial tear products that have lipids in them can also provide relief. In extreme cases, a medical device called LipiFlow is used to gently release lipids from the meibomian glands.

With true dry eye, patients will have red eyes throughout the day, year-round. Many patients who think they have dry eye self-treat with over-the-counter artificial tears. This is unfortunate: They need to be diagnosed correctly and to receive medical attention.

[ lensx laser ] A new laser that changes the way cataracts are treated is rapidly becoming the new standard of care, experts say.

“The LenSx Laser is an FDA-approved device that automates several steps in cataract surgery,” says Dr. Sean Edelstein, a SLUCare ophthalmologist and assistant professor at Saint Louis University. “Consequently, outcomes are more accurate, reliable and better, and cataract surgery also is quicker to perform.”

Edelstein was among the first in St. Louis to use the laser.

“On average, it takes about five to 10 minutes to perform a routine cataract surgery,” he explains. “But what used to take an ophthalmologist five minutes to perform manually now takes 45 seconds with the new laser.” And because the laser is so quick, it can lessen patients’ anxiety significantly, he adds.

The LenSx laser uses high-resolution images and computer technology to provide greater precision than older methods, in which doctors manually created incisions in the cornea. “The new laser makes the incisions, creates a tear in the front of the cataract, breaks up the cataract, and creates a capsule or pocket to hold the new lens implant,” Edelstein says. “Cataract surgery is very safe already, but the new laser takes it to a higher level.”

the steps [to combat red winter noses by lauren madras

Christmas is long past, so kick Rudolph out of your house for good by banishing irritating redness on your nose and lips caused by cold air, dry skin and over-use of tissues. You can sled all day on Art Hill and still look great later by taking a few precautions. Or if you’ve succumbed to cold and flu season, fake-it-til-you-make-it with properly applied makeup. prevent

If you’re gearing up for a day in the cold, protect the most delicate skin on your face with extra moisture—that means your lips, nose and eye area. Avoid waterproof mascara, too, since it can be extra drying. Aquaphor is the best bet due to its lack of color or scent.

Apply a thin coat around your nostrils. It won’t soak in like regular lotion, which ups its protection quotient. If you feel a cold coming on, switch to traditional handkerchiefs of 100 percent cotton or silk. If the laundry routine is too much, get tissues with lotion, and never apply pressure or scrubbing motions to your skin.

Heal 1> Start by keeping

skin totally clean. Use simple moisturizers after cleansing the area, like Clinique Dramatically Different.

2>To soften skin, exfoliate with a clean terry washcloth and some simple brown or raw sugar from your kitchen. Use circular motions and a gentle touch.

3> After exfoliating, use Blistex

Lip Medex balm over the affected area. Reapply as needed.

Camouflage 1> Avoid powder when you have

a red nose, as it will cling to rough skin and draw attention to the area.

2> After prepping your skin, use Physician’s Formula green concealer stick to apply a thin layer to the problem—and remember, less is more. Feather the product out to blend seamlessly with the red of your face.

3> Over the concealer, brush

on your normal liquid or cream foundation.

4> If the concealer is too

much contrast for your skin tone, switch to Smashbox Photo Finish primer in Adjust, which is sheer.

Legs that look better, legs that feel better.

Bar Les Freres is the little cousin of I Frattelini, across the street on Wydown Boulevard— with the emphasis on little. The former shoe repair shop has been transformed into a charming, albeit tiny, tres French bistro with red walls, gilded mirrors, upholstered loveseats, café tables with flickering oil wicks, and walls plastered with oil paintings, à la Belle Epoque. The Parisian ambience is quite alluring (but be warned: the noise level, thanks to high ceilings and hard floors, can be overwhelming).

The menu is small, French and appealing. Starters include Pork Rilletes with Mustard and Cornichons and Cured Salmon with Riesling and Dill. We had Potato Blinis with Caviar and Crème Fraiche ($9), and

they were quite nice. The four small potato pancakes tasted like they had been pan-made in butter, if their crisped, rich edges were any indication. A dollop of black caviar and crème fraiche topped each.

The entrees, or ‘plats,’ included sausage, fish, mussels, pork, filet and a vegetarian option. Both our Red Snapper with Fennel and Pernod ($21) and Duck Confit with Brussels Sprouts ($18) were excellent.

The former came skin-side up (that culinary tradition is meant to verify to diners that the fish they ordered is indeed what is on the plate), with a light crispiness imparted by its pan-finish in butter. It was served over chopped fennel in a broth redolent with that pungent root.

The duck was fall-off-the-bone tender, in the confit style, and rich with flavor (not at all gamey).

It, too, sat in a soupy broth, this one very salty and dotted with Brussels sprouts, which, regrettably, were underdone and bitter.

A small dessert menu includes Crème Brulee, Apple Tatin with Brown Sugar Cream and Chocolate Mousse.

Our apple tart was superior, with barely-cooked slices of tart apples coated in cinnamon sugar sitting atop a flat circle of pastry. A sugary whipped cream topped the apples, adding its layer of rich dairy to the tart and sweet elements—all around excellent.

It’s a classic good guys-versus-bad buys struggle, opening with protagonist John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) storming in on mobsters, single-handedly, to rescue a damsel in distress. He eventually forms a gangster squad of like-minded honest cops (possibly the only six in the entire city). Their goal: to clean up an L.A. dominated by mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) and crooked city officials. Ryan Gosling is a total heartthrob as the slacker Sgt.

found it slow and long. However, it illuminates some of the mystery around the war on terrorism and the art of ‘tradecraft’ (espionage). Jessica Chastain plays Maya, the real-life intelligence officer who follows her gut instincts with the tenacity of a bulldog. She chases a single lead about a UBL (Osama bin Laden) courier for eight years, encountering resistance from fellow field workers and CIA leadership. This glimpse into how arbitrary and tedious intelligence successes can be is fascinating. The depictions of ‘coercion’ (torture) are hard to witness, as is the final storming of that infamous compound. But in resolving the most notorious manhunt in history, it makes a good case for the ends justifying the means.

“It sort of sprang up from the bathtub,” Lynn Schultz says, describing the contemporary design of her home at 7489 Washington Ave. An Asian soaking tub she spotted in Chicago inspired the interior remodel she and her architect undertook in the University City home in 2008. The total overhaul distinguishes the house from its neighbors, Schultz believes. “It’s more of a European-feeling home, pretty atypical for this area,” she says.

Schultz was attracted to the four-bedroom property in part beacuse of its location. “This house is 10 minutes from everything,” she says. “Clayton is four blocks away, for walking to restaurants and events.” Its potential to serve as the canvas for Schultz’s artistic vision also was appealing. “When I saw the house, I thought there was probably not a lot of light, but when I walked in and realized the potential for the interior, that was it,” she says. “I saw the small lot as an opportunity to do Asian-style landscaping and hardscaping, as well as trees. We moved some walls and reconfigured the footprint of the atrium so it didn’t consume so much interior space. Basically, we left nothing from the original building except the exterior walls.”

For Schultz, the details make all the difference. “All the furnishings are imports, and all the cabinetry is custom,” she says. “I did sound-proofing, which on Hanley Road is essential. The floors are all heated, so it’s nice and toasty in the winter. The entire basement has slate tile floors, finished and heated.” Another feature Schultz particularly likes is the glass barn door in her bedroom. “It glides on a stainless steel track, and it’s a wall of glass, so you can open it and it becomes part of the rest of the house, or you can close it and have privacy,” she says.

“The play on the light in this house is the predominant appeal,” Schultz says. “It looks like there’s not a lot of light, but when you’re inside you feel like you’re outside. You don’t feel boxed in.” That light makes the house especially well-suited for displaying artwork, she notes. “I like that you can see through the house from every angle. Any room you’re in, you get a different landscape of the interior.”

Parting with her masterpiece will be hard, but she thinks the home’s next inhabitants will enjoy it as much as she has. “I would like to take it with me if I could,” she says.

JANUARY 16, 2013

When the Rafferty family of six welcomed one grandma, two dogs, a ball python and a school of constantly reproducing guppies into their family, space became the new priority. Karen, a preschool teacher, and Dan, a mortgage consultant at Citibank, moved from their Ballwin home of 11 years to another home in the same community. The current house provides plenty of room for their four sons—Wynn, 14; Daniel, 13; Sean, 11; and Matthew, 8— to explore, and includes a basement apartment for Doe Flannery, Dan’s mother. To some St. Louisans, West County might as well be the West Coast, but Karen says Ballwin is the perfect combination of easy city access and wide open space.

Q. What are some of your home’s highlights?

A. One of our favorite things is that we back up to Castlewood State Park. We have a gorgeous view. Also,

our upstairs has four bedrooms and a family room on the second floor for the boys, since they don’t have a basement.

Q. What do you love about your neighborhood?

A. We have great neighbors. One has a driveway party every Friday when the weather is nice. It’s a way to

go out, and your kids can go with you. In the summer, the adults go on a float and camping trip, and we do a progressive Christmas party each year, too. That’s the thing about living in a neighborhood like ours. There’s always something on a Friday night.

Q. Your eldest attends CBC, but Daniel and Matthew attend Parkway schools. What do you think of the district?

A. We stayed in the area because we like Parkway. My kids love going to school there, and I’ve never met a teacher I didn’t like. They give a lot of care to the children and so many opportunities to do things. Daniel was in Kids Character Council in elementary school and in a peer mentoring and leadership group in middle school.

Q. How do you answer those who think anything west of Lindbergh is too far?

A. Ballwin is convenient to highways, and there’s a lot to do. I work in Kirkwood and can get there in 15

minutes. The cost of living compared to where we were in Brentwood ... you get so much more out here than you would elsewhere. We like the the area and that it’s ‘country.’

[ family faves ] Best Restaurants>> The kids love sports-themed Callier’s Deli—they call it ‘the baseball place.’ For pizza, Faraci on Manchester Road.

Best Hangouts>> West County Lanes, Skateport Plaza, Manchester Pool, and The Pointe has something for everyone to do.

Best Town Events>> Ballwin Days Best Shopping>> West County Mall Best Park>> Castlewood State Park and Vlasis Park

gem

Anjali and Atul Kamra moved to St. Louis with their two children a little more than four years ago. Atul, a Wells Fargo executive, and Anjali, a clothing designer, found relocation a breeze.

The Ladue home they purchased needed some major renovation, which has recently been completed. The decor is a mix of their Indian heritage and Anjali’s design aesthetic. “I love the mix of vintage with modern pieces,” she says. The founder of Rungolee, a women’s clothing line known for its fine silks, embroidery and hand-beading made in India, took time away from her busy schedule to show us her home.

Vintage Lucite desk and Suzani rug

T&S | What part of India are you from? ak | Originally northern India. We were married there and moved to the U.S. one year later so my husband could attend Duke’s business school.

T&S | What brought you to St. Louis? ak | We moved here from Richmond, Va., in 2008, at the time of the AG Edwards/Wells Fargo merger.

Since I design from home, I was able to move my business as well.

I love pops of color and texture, like the sheepskin rugs I use in a lot of the rooms.

T&S | How did your line, Rungolee, come about? ak | I have a fashion degree from FIT in New York. We were living in Richmond when I started Rungolee in the fall of ’96. I launched with a 50-piece collection and sold out! I wanted the line to have a specific, high-end aesthetic from the start; everything is hand-embroidered and hand-beaded in India. I sell my pieces in various shows throughout the year.

T&S | Tell us about your home renovation. ak | Well, I wanted us to live in the house at least a year before beginning the project, to really get a feel for the space. We needed more room and wanted to make the house more open, and add more light. We also wanted to create spaces that could go from the indoors to the outdoors easily, since we entertain a lot, and I love to create outdoor rooms.

T&S | Your office is in part of the home’s new space? ak | Yes, we gutted half the house and literally raised the roof! The office is in part of the addition, which has a very handy elevator. I needed to be able to bring whole racks of clothing up and down easily. We actually use it a lot.

T&S | What’s your favorite room? ak | That’s easy, the kitchen! It’s so functional, and I love the sitting area. We cook a lot, and our daughter loves to bake. I’d say my favorite element in the room is the hidden pantry behind the range. You just slide the marble, and there are lit shelves with cooking supplies hidden away.

T&S | You are also an art collector? ak | Yes, I love to find special pieces when I travel. One of my favorites is in the living room. It’s a large piece that is actually a love letter written in Arabic by a young Iranian artist. I try to buy only what I love.

A hidden pantry to left of cooktop hides spices and supplies.

Daughter Veda relaxes in the living room.

T&S | Tell me about the decor. ak | The wall paint throughout the house is neutral to make the art pop. The cream color is called Swiss Coffee, and I had to mix a lot of colors to get just the right gray. I love pops of color and texture, like the sheepskin rugs I use in a lot of the rooms. Lucite is also a favorite of mine; I have several vintage pieces, like my office desk and the coffee table in my living room. Our bed linens are from India.

T&S | How has the move to St. Louis affected your business? ak | It has been great! When I first came here I started with 12 to 14 shows per year. Now, I’m doing upwards of 30 shows. And St. Louis is very convenient geographically.

T&S | Sounds like St. Louis agrees with you. ak | I think this city is a hidden gem. There are so many wonderful things going on in the arts, and the people are very warm and friendly. After living in New York, it is wonderful to have teenagers in this town—I can give them a lot more freedom than if we lived in NYC. I also love that the airport is only 15 minutes away!

homework] Dear Homework,

We’ve been admiring your elevation update suggestions in Town & Style for a while now thought we’d submit our home for your recommendations. It’s a 35-year-old home on the circle of a small cul-de-sac in the southwest corner of Creve Coeur. Our style is less country than the front of our home suggests, and we’d like to extend similar modern/minimalist updates to the exterior.

———Trapped in the Country

Dear Trapped in the Country, After

before

First, let’s remove the existing front porch and the dormer/vents. Doing this leaves the house feeling rather bland and uninteresting, so I suggest emphasizing the front door with a bold transom window and its own real dormer. With so much work occurring on the roof, I would replace the existing wood shakes with simple black asphalt shingles, which will lend a more modern feel. We also can add a ridge vent to replace the former dormer/vents.

Next, I would paint the brick a kelp green color that will further the modern feel and sit comfortably in the wooded setting. A new garden wall adds dimension to the composition and some drama to the entry. Crisp, chipped landscaping brings a more urban and less country feel. I also would eliminate the cupola.

Now, the house feels more unified and is a better representation of your personal aesthetic.

Let the modernization begin!
