[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] Our Health section today, ‘Good for Your Gut,’ talks about the many little annoyances one can experience with the digestive system, from intake to output. Anyone who’s 50 or older probably has had firsthand experience with these issues—and many who are younger, too. An astounding 20 percent of Americans report suffering from heartburn, for example, which is why it’s so easy to assume heartburn is a minor inconvenience—until you get it. When you can’t lie down at night, never mind go to sleep, you begin to understand why your parents complained so much.

One thing gut problems are good for is showing us how important taking charge of our own health is, as opposed to expecting the doctor to ‘fix it.’ Practically the first thing heartburn patients are told to do is get over-the-counter drugs like Prilosec or Nexium; I guess doctors know how change-averse we Americans are. And lifestyle changes are not the silver bullet drugs can seem to be. Behavior changes don’t offer a quick fix, and they don’t work for everyone—but neither do drugs.

So what’s the cost-benefit analysis? Well, lifestyle change requires not eating what you want, when you want it. And it might require adding a few things to your diet, too, like papaya, a natural enzyme that aids digestion, and probiotic pills and digestive enzymes. These steps could make heartburn less likely in the first place. The ultimate gain would be a healthier gut, one that won’t need pharmaceuticals, which in this case have been linked to bone loss and heart problems. I know popping a pill is easy, but cutting into a papaya isn’t too hard, either.

Young RICH GEORGE used to tear up the pool when he was on the swim team at Country Day, but that was awhile back. Well, he’s still got it.

George, now senior vice president at Midwest BankCentre, celebrated his 50th birthday by swimming the 100-meter freestyle in under a minute, posting a time of 58.05 seconds. Appropriately enough, the feat took place at the MICDS pool, with more than 40 fans cheering him on. George has returned to the site of past aquatic triumphs and taken the plunge every five years since he turned 35, on a running bet with buddy Jimmy Chalfant.

DEANA MARTIN, daughter of fabled crooner Dean Martin, delighted the audience at Lindenwood University’s Scheidegger Center for the Arts with her recent show, Reflections of Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra.

Helping her sing some of her father’s most memorable hits were St. Louis’ own Viviano Brothers: Tony, Jerry and Frank. They last performed with Martin to a sold-out crowd at the 2011 Kansas City Italian Fest.

MONETA GROUP CHARITABLE FOUNDATION recently granted a total of $70,000 to five local organizations: $25,000 apiece to Autism Speaks and Mental Health America of Eastern Missouri, and an additional $20,000 distributed among three employee-selected nonprofits: St. Louis Shakespeare Festival, Haven of Grace and Cancer Support Community of Greater St. Louis.

She, her parents and two siblings are Coquerel’s sifakas, an endangered species from Madagascar. Kapika, by the way, means ‘peanut’ in Malagasy. You can visit the whole gang at the Primate House.

COVER STORY

NURSES FOR] NEWBORNS

by tony di martino

WHEN MATTIE, A YOUNG MOTHER, TRIED TO FEED HER NEW BABY, she realized the child wasn’t breathing. Luckily, a nurse from Nurses for Newborns had taught her how to do infant CPR just a few days before. Fighting off panic, Mattie performed CPR for 20 minutes.

By the time the ambulance got there, the baby was breathing. “You saved your child’s life,” the paramedic said.

Andrea, who graduated from high school with a scholarship to a major university, fell into poverty after the birth of her child. “My boyfriend and I were just kids with no money,” she recalls.

“We worked, but barely made enough to cover the rent. We didn’t know how we were going to take care of our son.” Then she heard about Nurses for Newborns’ Teen Parent program. “NFN made sure we had food and other necessities, including a car seat, and helped me find childcare so I could stay in school.” Today, Andrea works at a major brokerage firm—and her son is happy and healthy.

NFN is a safety net for families at risk. The organization, founded in 1991, prevents infant mortality, child abuse and neglect through home-based programs that serve teen moms, moms who are mentally or physically challenged, sick infants, and families in need. “We save babies and strengthen families by providing free, in-home visits from experienced registered nurses,” says CEO Melinda Ohlemiller. The organization reaches more than 3,000 infants in 25 Missouri counties annually, providing child and maternal health assessments, home safety checks, preventive care and parenting skills training. Clients also have access to a 24/7 help line, support programs, and an emergency donation bank stocked with formula, diapers, cribs and other necessities.

Demand for services, always high, keeps climbing. “So many people still can’t find work, or have low-paying jobs that don’t enable them to provide for their family the way they want to,” Ohlemiller says. “To help those in need, we rely on generous community support.” NFN’s annual dinner auction, A Night for Newborns, takes place April 27 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac.

Barbara Druhe, Fran Marks and Gloria Wind co-chair the fundraising event. Spoke, a marketing firm that designed and donated a new logo and website for NFN, receives the McGraw Milhaven Award. World Wide Technology is presenting sponsor.

“We’re proud of our partnership with World Wide Technology and the Steward family,” Ohlemiller says. “David and Thelma Steward have really stepped up to support our mission. Thelma is a former nurse, and she and David understand a community is only as strong and healthy as its families.

They care passionately about protecting babies and strengthening families—and so do we.”

Not every child is lucky enough to be born into a safe, nurturing environment, Ohlemiller notes.

“But every infant deserves to be cared for. NFN keeps children safe during the most vulnerable time in their lives. Our nurses give families help and hope during hard times—and give babies a chance to grow up healthy and strong.”

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

St. Louis city and county separated into two entities in 1876. Well, if the city and county are going to reunify, about which there’s been much more discussion lately throughout the metro, Ballwin is having none of it.

It’s not that one of the county’s most well-to-do (and safest) communities would secede and print its own currency or anything. But the city council last Monday night (March 24) officially made it known that it doesn’t like the idea. The vote was unanimous (one member abstained). Much ado about nothing? Although discussions about a city-county merger have accelerated with the formation of advocacy group Better Together St. Louis, it’s all just talk at this point. But in Ballwin, city officials formally wanted to draw a line in the sand. They fear a merger would dilute county services and perhaps erode Ballwin’s own quality of services. They hope other municipalities (can you hear them over yonder, Chesterfield?) will join the anti-merger parade. Just think: St. Louis as just one more … really, really big … municipality in the county.

The sense of togetherness might make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Or, maybe like the sky is falling.

An historic preservationist, book editor and former city council member were chosen as Chesterfield’s

CHESTERFIELD

OF THE

Citizen of the Year for 2013, and they’re all the same person: Jane Durrell. Durrell, who’s lived in the city 45 years, served on the council from 1999 to 2008. She was instrumental in saving the Farmer’s Bank Building at Baxter and Old Chesterfield roads when the Baxter extension was constructed. Durrell edited the book Chesterfield: From Untamed Wilderness to Thriving Municipality. She has served two stints on Chesterfield’s Historical and Landmarks Preservation Commission, from 1990 to 1999 and again from 2008 to today. She’s the type of person who makes you want to capitalize both words of Community Service. (Pictured: Durrell with Chesterfield Mayor Bob Nation.)

Clayton has a new police chief who has more than 36 years of experience in the department already under his utility belt: Kevin Murphy, who was promoted from assistant chief.

Murphy succeeds Thomas Byrne, who retired at the end of 2013. We surmise the new chief has plenty of framed certificates on his office wall: He received a bachelor’s in administration of justice from UMSL; a master’s in criminal justice administration from University of Central Missouri; and a master’s in management from Webster University. City officials credit Murphy, also a graduate of the FBI National Academy, as a primary force behind his department’s consistent

accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).

CALEA’s Certificate of Advanced Accreditation is uncommon—131 departments in the nation qualify at present. Clayton is one of only eight Missouri police departments with the certificate. Our hats are off to Chief Murphy.

As spokespeople, cyclists are frustrated that government has to back up before they can pedal forward. But, as most streets and highways weren’t designed with people-powered, two-wheeled transportation in mind, municipalities have had to retrofit. With the assistance of Trailnet, Kirkwood is seeking input from residents as it develops a master plan, a citywide blueprint for developing better ways pedestrians and cyclists can get around more efficiently and safely.

The planning team is seeking input and invites residents to contribute ideas at three upcoming events: • May 10, Kirkwood Mayfest • June 5, Summer Concert Series • June 14, Magic House Good to Grow Festival Why is this a good thing? Because fewer honks and obscene gestures are better for everyone.

Phyllis Schlafly, tireless conservative commentator, is 89. Schlafly Brewery, co-founded in Maplewood by her nephew Tom and today the metro’s largest independent beer maker, is scarcely 21 but growing like hopped-up hops. Tom wants to trademark the name for commercial purposes, but his aunt has dug in her heels—legally. This litigious kerfuffle has somewhat rattled the family for the last 18 months, with Phyllis’ son Andrew representing her in a dispute over Tom’s search for a resolution via the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Reportedly, Tom hopes to settle and move on, albeit carrying the family name off in a slightly different direction. Some of us might drink to that.

[ TT TRIVIA ] WHO ESTABLISHED WEBSTER U., AND WHEN?

As of mid-March, incumbent Shelley Welsch found herself in a race for a second term as U. City mayor, when Steve McMahon announced he would run as a write-in candidate. A practicing attorney, McMahon claims that both the city’s fire and police departments are understaffed by 10 percent, and that there’s been plenty of talk but little action on redevelopment along Olive Boulevard.

The police and firefighters have endorsed him for the election next Tuesday (April 8). The formerly unopposed Welsch is unfazed. “I’m running on my record, on my accomplishments and vision for this community,” she says. When she started her first term, in 2010, she says, the city’s finances were in a shambles, and she and the city council have taken pains over the last four years to get them in better shape. “We were looking over a fiscal cliff,” she says. However, McMahon claims that the budget for the current fiscal year has a deficit of more than $3.5 million. “When there is no substantive plan for economic development or growing revenue, you are headed for problems,” he says in a statement.

(Correction: In my March 12 installment, I stated that 1. the City of Webster Groves had granted a conditional use permit to allow Webster University to shift some operations to former Eden Seminary facilities across Lockwood Avenue, and 2. the permit was withdrawn following opposition from neighbors, whereupon the city tweaked its zoning ordinance.

That was incorrect. In actuality, the city council voted down the CUP, 4-3, and continues to fine-tune zoning regulations pertaining to the intent of educational institutions that wish to expand. I regret the error.)

Since a lawsuit pitting Webster and Eden against the city is still pending, officials declined to discuss it, and both sides referred comment to their attorneys. Both attorneys acknowledged they are discussing the matter with respective administrations, as requested by the court, with a settlement as one

WEBSTER GROVES

possible outcome.

City attorney Helmut Starr did say the process might take longer than in some business negotiations, as university and city decision-makers only meet periodically.

Meanwhile, Maggie Sowash and John Pirozzi of Residents FOR Webster Groves recently articulated their concerns, lamenting that the issue has been widely portrayed as disgruntled

neighbors vs. an institution that they say has been allowed “unbridled expansion” by the city. “But this is not simply a neighborhood issue,” Pirozzi emphasizes, noting that he lives a half-mile from the campus and is not directly affected. “It’s a community issue.” Sowash says she shares developments via email with 200 people, some of whom live in Clayton and the City of St. Louis.

The issue is convoluted, to say the

least. Since 2010, Webster U. has owned Luhr Library, Wehrli Center and a third building at Eden that it wishes to raze, partially in favor of green space. But the university does not own the land; it entered into a 99-year lease with the seminary for the property beneath the buildings. Residents and some city officials view this as an attempt to circumvent a city requirement to first subdivide the property.

Webster Groves is a “residential community, not a college town,” says Pirozzi, who retired from Washington University and says its “town and gown” relationship is smoother because Clayton’s zoning vis-à-vis the university, as well as Fontbonne University, is not as open to question. “(Webster U.) does the community a lot of good, but they should not feel they are entitled, in my opinion,” Sowash says.

“There is a compromise somewhere in here; we just have to figure out what it is.”

Wildwood doesn’t think it’s time to get out of the pool … the sales-tax pool, that is. At the same time, Chesterfield feels like it could be left in the shallow end. And they’ve both retained lobbying firms to speak their minds in Jeff City. While pool cities like Wildwood and Webster Groves benefit from the

county’s fiscal equanimity, they could lose significant income if Chesterfield, and other point-of-sale beneficiaries like Fenton, were allowed to keep more than they have been required to contribute to the county pool. Regarding the county’s 1 percent sales tax, consider Chesterfield and Fenton the county’s ‘haves’, and pool cities like Wildwood the ‘have nots’. And the pool’s levels are constantly changing in a volatile retail environment: Crestwood and St. Ann both have suffered blows to the municipal pocketbook with, respectively, the decline of one mall and the closure of another. Meanwhile, retail growth has been brisk in Chesterfield and Fenton. At any rate, Wildwood’s city council was expected to vote March 24 on retaining the lobbyist it has been using for the last few years … pooling its resources with a handful of the other cities fearful of the same squeeze.

Confusing? Apparently it is to legislators, too. Pool cities and point-of-sale cities both seem to have valid concerns with the circa 1993 revenue-sharing framework that many claim is outmoded—and with both sides having well-compensated mouthpieces articulating opposite views, who knows what’s the next move in our state capital?

The term ‘brand new’ was first used in 1570, when John Foxe said in his book Sermons, “New bodies, new minds and all thinges new, brande-new.” A form of the word ‘spanking’ was added to the phrase in 1830, in Henry Angelo’s Reminiscences: “His feet were thrust into a bran-span new pair of fashionable pumps.” But this particular usage of the word ‘spank,’ first used in 1666, had nothing to do with punitive slapping.

Instead, it meant ‘exceptionally large or fine.’ So ‘brand spanking new,’ first used in this country around 1860, means something that’s not only new, but fabulous.

WINTER SPORTS WRAP-UP by bill hester

The winter of 2013-14 is nothing but a bad memory for many residents of the St. Louis area because of the bitter cold, snow and ice. But for CBC High School, it was a good season with thrilling successes for the Cadet hockey and basketball teams.

[ hockey ]

[boys basketball ]

The dynasty continues for the CBC hockey team. The Cadets advanced to the championship game of the Challenge Cup Division of the Mid-States Hockey Association for the 14th consecutive season. CBC won its 13th overall title and did so in almost unprecedented fashion, finishing with a 40-1-1 record and allowing only 24 goals during the entire season.

“Our team this season made a commitment to good team defense after Christmas and it really paid off,” says CBC coach John Jost. “We have an outstanding group of 10 seniors that bought into it, which made it easy for the rest to follow. Our goaltending, in particular Joe Staely, certainly helped. He was a rock all season.”

CBC put an exclamation point on its defensive masterpiece in the playoffs. The

CBC, which shared the Metro Catholic Conference championship with Chaminade, closed out the winter season in style with a championship in Class 5.

The Cadets won the District 3 championship with a 60-47 victory over Parkway Central and followed with an exciting 76-72 victory over Webster Groves in the sectional round.

The Cadets stamped their ticket to the Mizzou Arena and the final four with a 75-66 victory over Jackson. Jordan Barnett had 21 points to lead five CBC players who scored nine points or more. CBC shot 52 percent from the field against the Indians. The shooting was even better in an 81-68 victory over Lee’s Summit West in the Class 5 semifinals. CBC shot 60.8 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point land as five players finished in double figures, once again led by Barnett, who was 7-of-9 from the field en route to 20 points.

Barnett had a game for the ages in the championship match March 22 in Columbia. The University of Texas recruit had career highs in points (43) and rebounds (20), and the Cadets needed all of them in an 86-77 overtime victory over Columbia Hickman. The Kewpies battled back from a 13-point fourthquarter deficit and tied the game on a 3-point basket by Mason Murray with 28 seconds remaining, sending the title game to an extra frame. CBC dominated the overtime, outscoring Hickman 15-6.

CBC lost only one time during the regular season to a local team, Chaminade.

Its other losses all came in out-of-town tournaments against out-state teams.

Webster defeated rival Kirkwood 66-56 to win the Class 5 District 4 title.

Lafayette, undefeated in winning the Suburban West Conference, and Ladue also won district titles in Class 5. The Lancers hit four free throws with less than a second remaining to defeat Parkway South 57-53 in the District 2 finals, while Ladue upset top-seeded Chaminade 61-58 in District 8. Both teams fell in the sectional round, Lafayette to Jackson and Ladue to Hazelwood Central.

Whitfield was the only other area district champion. The Warriors edged Maplewood 45-39 for the Class 3 District 4 championship.

Webster, MICDS and Brentwood won conference titles in 2013-14. The Statesmen were 7-0 in the Suburban South. They were two games ahead of Kirkwood, Parkway Central and Parkway West, which tied for second.

MICDS was 11-1 in winning the Metro League championship while Brentwood won all eight of its league contests in capturing the South Central Athletic Association championship.

Chaminade’s Jayson Tatum was the top player in the area. He was second in the entire St. Louis area in scoring with an average of 25.8 points per game.

CBC HOCKEY TEAM

Cadets allowed a goal in their opening 6-1 win over Vianney in the quarterfinal series, which proved to be the only one CBC allowed in the playoffs. The Cadets, who won the Southwest Division I Conference during the regular season, defeated Vianney 8-0 in the other game of that series, then swept Lindbergh in the semifinals by scores of 7-0 and 8-0. They closed out the season with a 6-0 triumph over DeSmet Jesuit in the championship game at the Scottrade Center.

DeSmet Jesuit reached the title game with a hard-fought win over Chaminade in the semifinals. The Spartans won both games over the Red Devils by 2-1 scores.

Lafayette reached the championship game of the Wickenheiser Cup but fell to Rockwood Summit 5-2 in the championship. The Lancers had to win two minigames to reach the finals. They lost their first in the quarterfinals to Seckman 3-1 but bounced back to win 5-4 and then won the mini-game 1-0. Once again, Lafayette left no margin for error with a 4-3 loss in game one of the semifinals against MICDS before winning 5-0 in game two and 2-0 in the mini-game.

Whitfield captured the Founder’s Cup championship of Mid-States. The Warriors defeated Parkway West 5-4 in the championship game. They split their quarterfinal round series against Northwest, winning 3-2 and losing 7-1 before dominating the mini-game 3-0. Whitfield won in the semifinal series. The Warriors won game two 7-3 after a 3-3 tie in the opening game.

Ladue had an outstanding regular season, winning Central Division I. Colton Schalk led the division in scoring with 31 goals and 16 assists.

Parkway South captured the No. So. Division I crown. Parkway West’s Nicholas Balestra led the league in scoring with 31 goals and 26 assists.

DeSmet Jesuits Charles Combs and CBC’s Austin Rueschhoff had 26 goals each to lead Southwest Division I scorers, while Kirkwood’s Kole Mudra led Southwest Division II scorers with 23 goals and 17 assists.

[ girls swimming ] Marquette and Kirkwood won team trophies in the MSHSAA Girls Swimming and Diving Championships, held at the St. Peters Rec-Plex.

Marquette finished a close second to Glendale. The Springfield school won with 210 points, while the Mustangs had 202 points. Senior Abby Watson, junior Raquel Porporis and freshmen Alyssa Lemon and Katiana Porporis were second in the 400yard free relay while Watson, Katiana Porporis, senior Jessi Goring and freshman Shane Whitehead were second in the 200-yard medley relay. Marquette also had three third-place finishes in individual events: Lemon in the 2,200-yard freestyle, Watson in the 100-yard backstroke and Katiana Porporis in the 200-yard IM. Kirkwood was paced by senior Jamie Fitzpatrick. She was second in the 100-yard freestyle and teamed with junior Maggie Cox and freshmen Erin Kelly and Audrey Kelly to finish second in the 200-yard freestyle relay.

Six other area teams finished in the top 11 at state: Parkway West (fifth); MICDS (sixth); St. Joseph’s Academy (seventh); Parkway South (ninth); Lafayette (10th); and Parkway Central (11th).

Three area athletes won state championships. MICDS junior Kat Friese opened the meet by defending her state championship in diving. “Everyone loves watching Kat dive,” says MICDS coach Kristen Kaiser. “The grace and strength she shows when she is on the board is exceptional and what most people recognize. Her consistency, though, is what has made her the two-time state champion. Dive after dive, Kat continues to put great scores up and not once did I see her have an off round. We are so excited that Kat is only a junior and will be working hard between now and next year to try to defend her title as a senior.”

Parkway South senior Samm Crocker captured the 50-yard freestyle after finishing second in the event as both a sophomore and junior. “Samm’s win was a long time coming,” says Patriot coach Sara Gerth. “Everyone knew she was capable of winning it, but the 50 is such CAROLYN KAMMEYER, PARKWAY WEST a crap shoot. Anything can happen. This year she finally just got her hand on the wall by one-hundredth of a second. I was so excited for her to have finished her high school career like this. She is a fearless competitor.” Crocker, who broke her school record for the 50 for the third year in a row, will swim next season at Northern Arizona University.

Parkway West’s Carolyn Kammeyer won the 100-yard butterfly. “Carolyn is a very talented swimmer who sets goals and pushes herself every day in order to accomplish those goals,” says Longhorn coach Allison Zeller. “At the beginning of the season, we sat down together and discussed what she wanted to get out of her high school career. Setting the school record and winning state in the 100 fly were both goals she set for herself. She is a go-getter who pushes everyone to be their best.”

[ wrestling ] Whitfield fell short in defending its Class 1 state team title. The Warriors finished with 95.5 points, and Blair Oaks won with 98 points. It was the seventh time in the last eight years Whitfield has finished in the top two at state.

“Going into the state meet, I felt that we had a shot to win, along with two or three other teams,” says Warrior coach Charlie Sherertz. “It is unrealistic to win every year but we certainly had our opportunities to win it again. We put fate in the hands of others and came up a little short.”

Whitfield did not take the lead until late in the final round, when Rodney Hahn won the championship at 160 pounds. But the lead lasted only 15 minutes as Blair Oaks won the championship at the next weight class, 170 pounds. Neither team had a wrestler in the upper weight classes and Blair Oaks won by a narrow margin. “I knew it was going to be a Cinderella finish for one of two seniors,” Sherertz says. “Rodney won his match to give us the lead, but the Blair Oaks senior followed suit.”

Hahn, who was 55-0 for the season, became the first wrestler in the school’s history to win state all four years. “Rodney has a very unique style from a technical standpoint and he is just a furious competitor,” Sherertz said. Hahn will attend the United States Naval Academy in the fall.

Senior Derrick Swaney stood at the top of the podium for the first time after winning the state championship at 126 pounds in a 2-0 decision over Frankie Folotico of Blair Oaks. He had finished fourth as a junior and contributed in a big way RODNEY HAHN, WHITFIELD to the team title. “Derrick did not wrestle until his freshman season and just did a phenomenal job for us,” Sherertz says. “He went down a weight class in the postseason and never lost at 126 pounds.” Two other Whitfield wrestlers finished in the top six individually at the state meet: Andrew McLaughlin was fourth at 170 pounds, while Conrad Chadwick was sixth at 152 pounds.

TOWN TALK

Maplewood’s Ronelle Person was pinned in the first period of the Class 1 state championship by Caleb Osborn of Lathrop in the 120-pound title match.

There were no local teams that finished in the top 10 and no local individual champions in the other three classes at state. CBC had a pair of fourth-place finishers in Class 4: Tim Gant was fourth at 285 pounds and Bay Roehr was fourth at 120 pounds. Parkway South’s Michael Aldrich (160) and Joseph Cunningham (195) were each fifth in Class 4.

Webster Groves’ Lamont Wilson was the top area finisher in Class 3, fourth at 113 pounds.

[ girls basketball ] No Erin Nelson, no Sydney Stipanovich, no Maddie Stock, no Morgan Stock ... no problem for the St. Joseph’s Academy basketball team this winter.

The Angels were blessed with star players in the last several years and all are performing well at the NCAA Division I level. Many thought this would be a rebuilding season for the Angels, and it was for much of the season. St. Joseph’s found itself in foreign territory with a 4-9 record after 13 games.

But the Angels got better and better as the year went on and finally broke the .500 mark with a 59-39 victory over Nerinx Hall in the district championship game. They followed with a 56-45 win over Hazelwood Central in the sectional round and had a game for the ages in the quarterfinals. It took two overtimes, but the Angels prevailed over Fort Zumwalt West 87-76. Senior guard Natalie Sims, who led the Angels in scoring during the season, led the way with 33 points.

St. Joe’s had an unexpected trip to Columbia on its calendar for the final four. The Cinderella season ended there with a loss to Rock Bridge 57-46 in the semifinals. But the Angels left Columbia with a good taste as they defeated Eureka 63-59 in the third-place game.

Parkway North, St. Joseph’s Academy, Kirkwood and MICDS all won district titles this winter. Parkway North and St. Joe’s then moved on in the playoffs with victories in the sectional round.

Parkway North, which finished a game behind Webster Groves in the Suburban South Conference, won in District 3 with a convincing 54-36 triumph over Pattonville in the title game. The Vikings then defeated conference rival Kirkwood 50-40 in the sectionals. Kirkwood edged neighborhood rival Ursuline 46-42 in the District 4 title game.

MICDS had the most dominant season of any area team but had the misfortune of being matched up in sectionals with nationally ranked Incarnate Word and lost 57-44. The Rams were undefeated in the Metro League and lost only to Incarnate Word in the regular season. MICDS dominated districts, winning the Class 4 District 6 title game over Westminster 78-48 as all five starters finished in double figures.

Marquette, which fell to Eureka in the championship game of the Class 5 District 2 Tournament, had the area’s top player. Senior Taylor Campbell became the school’s alltime leading scorer. She made 50 points in a game against Parkway South in the regular season and finished second in the St. Louis area with an average of 26.5 points per game.

Campbell will play next year at Lehigh University.

St. Louis is celebrating its 250th birthday, and Wilson School students recently got in on the fun at an stl250-hosted historical reenactment WILSON recounting the region’s early history.

Sixth graders dressed in historical costumes to play the role of French colonial children in front of 200 people gathered at City Hall. In attendance were Mayor Francis Slay, Governor Jay Nixon, Principal Chief Scott BigHorse of the Osage Nation and other dignitaries.

Sixteen-year-old Ben Linehan was awarded the 2014 Pedal the Cause Clare Blase Spirit Award, created in 2012 to honor Blase’s leadership in raising funds and awareness for Pedal the Cause BURROUGHS cancer research. Ben first participated in the event in 2012 to honor his mom, a two-time cancer survivor, and last year rode 50 miles to create awareness for the organization. He is part of the Pedal the Cause Pancreas Cancer Road Warriors Team, which was started by his father, Dr. David Linehan.

They are looking to test their cannonball skills as part of the annual Father’s Day Dadlympics event at Creve Coeur Racquet Club. “We’re all about families coming together and enjoying themselves,” says club partner Dani Apted Schlottman. “We’re focused on kids having just as much fun as parents in a place that’s relaxed but still nice.”

Fun for the whole family has been the goal of the private club since the beginning, when it was founded in 1968 by Stephen Apted. Today it is owned and operated by the second and third generations: Dan Apted, his wife Deb, and Schlottman, their daughter. “We’re built on a foundation of great tennis and great cocktails,” Schlottman says. “My grandfather and his friend Larry Miller wanted a place to play tennis with friends and have a great time, and they wanted an environment where you didn’t have to wear a jacket to dinner. My grandfather had a background in the restaurant business and Larry was a tennis pro, so they built their own club.”

Full members can take advantage of a variety of amenities, including eight indoor and 15 outdoor tennis courts, a pool and, coming soon, paddle tennis. The club also keeps on staff eight tennis pros to teach clinics and private lessons to members of all levels and ages. A more limited indoor membership is also available for those interested solely in tennis.

The club strives to make members feel like family and to accomplish this, full memberships are limited to 300. “I want to know everyone who belongs here,”

is working has your diet Coke ready. I want to make sure members get that special lounge chair they like, or favorite seat in the dining room.”

Although the club provides a fun, family-centric atmosphere, it is also serious about its sports. “We have the best tennis coaches, swim coaches and dive coaches,” Schlottman says. “We go the extra step to make sure people are in the right programs.

Even for kids, we don’t have strictly recreational camps. Everyone has fun, but they’re learning from the best staff I can put together.”

Because Schlottman’s family comes from a restaurant background, the club also makes its food a priority. “We have a full-service restaurant and bar with patio access for pool members,” she says. “We don’t have food minimums on memberships because we felt you should want to eat here. It’s food we know families like—we know in the summertime Dad wants a burger, Mom wants a great salad and the kids want chicken fingers.”

Schlottman fondly remembers idyllic summer days at the club when she was growing up, and she wants members to have that same experience. “I remember playing tennis all day with my friends, jumping in the pool, getting lunch and playing some more,” she says. “We would be there all day and we loved it. It was a place where my parents and my friends’ parents knew we were safe.”

1904 OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL

IT WAS ON THE 15TH HOLE IN THE SECOND ROUND OF THE 1904 OLYMPIC GOLF FINALS AT GLEN ECHO COUNTRY CLUB

that Chandler Egan made his big mistake. The 21-year-old American had already secured his place in history earlier in the games, having earned a first-place trophy in the driving contest and a gold medal in the team event. But his youth wasn’t doing him any favors against his competitor.

Twice Egan’s age, Canadian Amateur Champion George Lyon was hitting his long shots with surprising ease. Egan steadied his hands, pulled back his club—and hit his tee shot into the lake. Lyon won the men’s individual gold medal that day, and his legacy lives on at Glen Echo, the only golf course in the world that flies the Olympic flag. “We all consider ourselves caretakers of that history,” says Rob Stewart, Glen Echo general manager.

The oldest private 18-hole course west of the Mississippi River, Glen Echo opened in 1901. Its Olympic status stems from a scheduling snafu: originally, Chicago was supposed to host the 1904 games. But when the 1903 St. Louis World’s Fair was postponed until 1904, St. Louis successfully lobbied to host the Olympics as well, and Glen Echo founder Col. George McGrew secured the right to host the golf events. According to St. Louis golf historian Jim Healey, Glen Echo spent $60,000 to ready the course and clubhouse and mailed an information pamphlet to clubs around the world, hoping to attract their players to compete. St. Louis company Mermod-Jaccard Jewelers designed the trophies and medals.

Interestingly, 1904 was the second, and last, year golf was played in the Olympics. But the sport’s return in the 2016 summer games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has Glen Echo gearing up to commemorate its history.

“We have a big replica of a gold medal, it’s probably 3-feet tall,” Stewart says. “We’re going to have another one of those created, and a group of us plan on taking it down to Rio and presenting it to the golf course down there.” Stewart wants the U.S. golf team to be announced on the Glen Echo grounds during a weekend-long celebration, complete with a gala dinner and pro-am tournament. Stewart also hopes to host an exhibition match broadcasted on the Golf Channel and played in period attire with traditional hickory-shafted clubs.

Glen Echo’s Olympic history is a big draw for members, says Stewart.

“We’ve got members who could belong to any club in St. Louis, and they choose to be here because of the heritage we have,” he explains. “The golf course is a great old course; they don’t build them like this anymore.

A lot of the clubs were not far from here and they moved—thank God we didn’t.” Even a century later, the Olympic players would recognize 15 of the course’s holes, Stewart says. “No. 15, where Chandler Egan hit it into the water, is just like it was in 1904.”

Ruth Park Golf Course, is one of St. Louis’ premier municipal courses. Designed by Robert Foulis, famous golf architect, it has been popular since it first opened in 1931. Centrally located, the tree-lined, hilly course is affordable and in great shape. Its layout provides challenging and enjoyable fun for golfers of all skill levels.

The summer of 1916 was broiling hot, and most 14-year-old boys spent their days swimming or drinking cold lemonade on a shady porch. Not William Orville DeWitt Sr.

LEGENDARY BASEBALL BUSINESS MANAGER BRANCH RICKEY, LEFT, WITH HIS PROTEGE, WILLIAM DEWITT SR. STANDING: DEWITT’S BROTHER AND BROWNS CO-OWNER, CHARLIE.

BILL DEWITT III, LEFT, AND TEAM OWNER BILL DEWITT JR. AT THE WHITE HOUSE, AFTER THE CARDS WON THE 2011 WORLD SERIES.

His family needed help making ends meet, so young Bill got a job selling soda pop in the stands at Sportsman’s Park. That suited him fine: he wasn’t afraid of hard work, and he loved baseball. By the time he passed away in 1982, that grinning kid with the can-do attitude had become one of the most powerful men in the game.

His son and grandson have followed in his footsteps. Today, William DeWitt Jr. is majority owner of the St. Louis Cardinals; William DeWitt III, team president, oversees all aspects of team business and affiliated projects, including the development of Ballpark Village. “Granddad grew up with very little money in North St. Louis--his father ran a butcher shop,” Bill DeWitt III says. “Hard work and talent took him to the top. But to me and my siblings, he was just this loving guy who spent time with us, one on one, and treated us like we were the center of the universe.”

DeWitt Sr. didn’t sell sodas for long. Legendary Cardinals business manager Branch Rickey, impressed by the boy’s work ethic, gave him a job in the front office.

He went to school at night, eventually earning a law degree from Washington University. From 1916 to 1936, he worked his way up to vice president/treasurer of the team. The Cards won five pennants and three world championships during this era. Always up for a challenge, he then moved to St. Louis’ underdog American League team, the Browns, leading them to their only pennant in 1944. Five years later, he rose from general manager to owner, in partnership with his brother Charlie. He later served as assistant GM of the New York Yankees, president and part owner of the Detroit Tigers, owner of the Cinncinati Reds, and chairman and part owner of the Chicago White Sox. DeWitt III’s parents grew up here. “My dad went to Country Day and worked as a Browns batboy when he was a kid,” he says. “My mother’s family, the Cramers, lived on Exmoor Drive in Ladue.” His parents moved to Cincinnati when DeWitt Sr. bought the Reds in the early 1960s, and stayed when he sold the team. “I was raised in Cincinnati, but I have great memories of visiting my mom’s family and my aunt, Donna ‘DeDe’ DeWitt Lambert, on Upper Ladue Lane.” He didn’t call St. Louis home until 1996, when his father and several partners purchased the Cards from Anheuser-Busch. “It took me awhile to feel like a real St. Louisan,” he admits. “But when fans started telling me stories about Granddad and the way things used to be, I realized I had strong roots here.”

Recently, a World War II veteran gave him a box of letters from DeWitt Sr. “My grandfather had scouted him for the Browns and kept up with him during the war, checking to see how he was doing and reminding him, ‘Don’t forget about the Browns when you get out!’ The man told me those letters helped him get through the war.” Written on Browns letterhead in the more formal language of a bygone era, the letters nevertheless convey DeWitt Sr.’s warmth.

The third generation of DeWitts share the family work ethic. “My sisters, Katie and Margot, have worked for the Cardinals’ organization, and my brother, Andrew, is founder and CEO of Dewey’s Pizza, based in Cincinnati.” Dewitt III’s wife, Ira, founded Notifi Records. They have two kids, 15-year-old Natalie and 11-year-old Will.

Asked if they’ve shown any interest in carrying baseball ownership into the fourth generation, he laughs. “It’s too early to tell,” he says. “But no matter what path they take. they’ve got a great legacy to build on—and happy memories of growing up in St. Louis.”

COVER STORY

[VEIN SPECIALTIES by tony di martino

VARICOSE VEINS ARE UGLY, like a bulging map of old age all over your legs and thighs.

They can hurt, too. Dysfunctional leg veins can cause congestion and pressure buildup, resulting in inflammation, cramping, burning, itching and restless leg syndrome. If ignored, they can lead to serious complications, including clot formation. Tiny spider veins, a milder variation, can be troublesome as well. No wonder people want to get rid of of them—and no wonder so many treatment centers have sprung up around St. Louis.

But buyer, beware. Just because someone calls themselves a vein specialist doesn’t mean they have training or experience. “In Massachusetts, Blue Cross & Blue Shield no longer reimburses vein procedures unless they’re done by a vascular surgeon,” says Dr. Norman Bein of Vein Specialties.

“But in Missouri, dermatologists, radiologists and cardiologists do it as a lucrative sideline. Heck, it wouldn’t surprise me if dentists were doing it!”

But often, these so-called ‘specialists’ aren’t qualified to treat vascular issues, says Bein, a board-certified surgeon. “In fact, the only training many of them have comes from the companies that sell them laser equipment or sclerotherapy solutions,” he says. “My team and I see an increasing number of patients suffering from nerve damage, infections, scarring and other complications caused by inappropriate diagnosis and treatment at other practices. For example, the veins have been surgically stripped—an outdated, painful procedure requiring a hospital stay and a long recovery period—when they should have been treated with lasers. Or the doctor uses lasers but misses an underlying pathology. Or the varicose veins return because the doctor didn’t understand or deal with the underlying cause.”

Varicose veins, a hereditary condition, affect anywhere from 25 to 60 percent of the U.S. population. “A healthy venous system pushes blood from the feet toward the heart, so it can be re-oxygenated in the lungs and pumped around the body,” Bein explains. “But when the valves within the veins are dysfunctional, blood pools in the veins, causing congestion, pressure buildup and ropy bulges.”

Injury or the stress of pregnancy, with its hormonal fluctuations and increased blood volume, can contribute to the condition, Bein notes. Depending upon the diagnosis, treatment options include laser closure of the veins or sclerotherapy, in which smaller veins are injected and sealed with a chemical solution. “But some doctors sign patients up for ‘maintenance’ treatments, injecting them 30 separate times,” he says. “If the treatment is done correctly, patients don’t need maintenance injections.”

Bein gives every patient a thorough ultrasound evaluation prior to treatment. “To treat varicose veins correctly, you need to understand what’s causing them,” he says. “I’ve done more than 10,000 vein procedures with no infections or complications. You can’t do the job right if you don’t know how. If you have any concerns about a proposed treatment plan, seek a second opinion from a vascular surgeon. Don’t trust a doctor just because he or she wears a white coat.”

THE FAVORITES |

Green Curry, Vegan Ice Cream with Berry Compote, Bean and Vegetable Soup, Pommes Frites

DAVE BAILEY HAS DONE IT AGAIN, this time with a whiskey house/restaurant located in a magnificently refurbished urban building. The space is very ‘architectural,’ done in black and grey, with an overall Art Nouveau ambience. The floor has original black-and-white mini-tiles, and floor-to-ceiling speckled mirror panels add drama behind the bar.

After the menu’s many pages of whiskeys and wines, the short lists of ‘fare’ and ‘small fare’ are dominated by pasta, cheese dishes and pickled items—all of them vegetarian or vegan. But I prefer to call Small Batch ‘meat-free’ than vegetarian. That’s because the offerings aren’t old-style granola concoctions like cheese-y beans and rice or tofu burgers. The place makes an attempt to create gourmet dishes without meat, poultry or fish—a fairly ambitious goal. But like Bailey’s other enterprises, it’s bustling with business.

‘Light Fare’ lists dishes like egg rolls, pickles, cheeses,

salads and soups. Spotlight Eggs ($4) consisted of three halves, the whites of each pickled with different spices and vegetables (kale, mustard and red pepper) lined up to resemble the colors of a street light. Their flavors varied, but all had a strong vinegary pungency. The deviled yolks sat underneath the tinted whites, and they too were mouth-puckeringly pickled.

A starter of Gratin ($8) wasn’t quite as playful, but just as focused in its flavoring. Basically a ramekin of caramelized green grapes, it was very sweet, with only a bit of goat cheese, shallots and rosemary leaves (and crostini) to cut the sugar. I found it cloyingly sweet and odd as a starter, especially in cold weather.

The soups here were good. A cup of Sweet Potato ($3) was pureed and dotted with some chunks of sweet potato, coarse black pepper and a bit too much salt. The Bean and Vegetable was excellent, very hearty and laced with cumin and a touch of peppery heat. The don’t-miss starter

is the Pommes Frites ($5), a generous tub of hand-cut sweet potatoes liberally dosed with salt, pepper and sugar.

Very flavorful and satisfying was the Green Curry entrée ($11), a huge bowl of tofu, snap peas, carrots, fried sweet potato cubes and other veggies over rice. The sauce had some bite and was creamy, with a coconut milk flavor. Also quite good was the Falafel dinner ($12), an odd mix of ingredients that worked surprisingly well together: flat garbanzo patties with pureed centers and crisped exteriors, sweet green grapes, crunchy raw celery, bits of tangy radish, halved cherry tomatoes (these were the least successful element), and sauces of red harissa and creamy tahini yogurt. It was complex, tasty and filling (but needed salt and pepper).

Vegan Ice Cream had a coconut milk base, and was very good, if a little sweeter than traditional ice cream.

The topping of warm berry compote was excellent, a combination of blueberries and raspberries.

COVER STORY

SWEETOLOGY

by rebecca koenig

GUMMY BEARS ON PINK FONDANT or Oreo crumbles on butter pecan-flavored buttercream? You pick: There are no wrong combinations at Sweetology. The confection decoration studio, opening this month in Ladue at 9214 Clayton Road, sounds like a scene worthy of Willy Wonka’s factory. “Our vision is different than what you might imagine a bakery being,” says co-owner DeAnn Bingaman. “We wanted something a little more whimsical and fantastical that would spark the imagination.”

Sweetology builds on the retail entertainment concept popularized by Paint Me Pottery and Build-A-Bear Workshop, where customer creativity is part of the fun. Clients select from a variety of baked good packages, which range from a 9-inch layer cake to a dozen sugar cookies, and which include a choice of buttercream or fondant and an accent frosting and sprinkles. All baked treats and buttercreams come from The Cup. “We love their product, it’s absolutely delicious,” Bingaman says.

Customers pay a studio fee to use the Makery, a wild wall of candy and other edible decorations.

Staff members, known as Sweetologists, will be on hand to help. “Some might feel intimidated by the process, but we want to encourage people to come in and try it,” Bingaman says. “There are some neat tips and tricks that make the concept simple. We hope to develop video tutorials that will play throughout the store.” Decorators are welcome to enjoy their treats in the shop or take them home to share.

Bingaman’s business partner, Kara Newmark, found the inspiration for Sweetology in a New York City chocolate store that allows shoppers to customize their candy. “She had a lightbulb moment,” Bingaman says. “What does she like to do in her spare time with her children? She really enjoys cake decorating. ‘Why couldn’t she do this with cakes, cupcakes and cookies?’ she thought.”

They envision groups of friends, couples on dates and kids’ birthday parties enjoying the experience. “It’s OK if your 5-year-old spreads hot pink frosting on the table,” Bingaman says. “We want people to be comfortable and just enjoy the process.” And people looking for more effortless enjoyment are invited to sip wine, coffee or drinking chocolate at the Drinkery while nibbling a mini cone of buttercream frosting.

All that sugar will support some truly sweet causes. On April 10, six community leaders, including T&S’s own Dorothy Weiner, will compete in Cakes For A Cause, a decorating contest with proceeds to benefit the charity chosen by that night’s winner. Sweetology plans to designate a charitable cupcake each month, donating $1 of its selling price to each of the charities until all have been featured. Additionally, Sweetology has partnered with Friends of Wings to provide cakes for Joyful Celebrations, a program that honors milestones in the lives of children with serious illnesses.

While Sweetology is the first culinary venture for the business partners, they’re confident it will be a hit. After all, who doesn’t love a good cookie? “We both wanted to find something we really loved doing and that made other people happy, too,” Bingaman says. “It doesn’t matter if you’re 2 or 92; it’s fun to decorate cookies and share them with your friends and family.”

Some people collect art because it feeds their soul. Others consider it a good investment. And the rest? Well, they’re just searching for something that looks good over the couch.

“There are many reasons to buy art, and all of them are valid,” says Jonathan Kodner, president and director of Kodner Gallery in Clayton. “What it takes to be a collector as opposed to a purchaser is a desire to explore and enjoy art—and it’s entirely possible to do that on a relatively modest budget.”

One of the most important things a beginning collector can do is look and listen, Kodner says. “Educate your eye by going to as many museums and galleries as you can. What moves you? Pay attention. Then ask yourself what these elements have in common. Is there a certain style, movement or period you’re drawn to? Listen to your instincts.”

But don’t pull out your wallet yet. “If you have friends or family who collect, talk to them and get a few gallery recommendations,” Kodner says. “Then build a relationship with a gallery owner or dealer you trust, one who stands behind everything they sell. They can guide you toward authentic works of

good quality and value that appeal to you, fit your budget, and hold or increase their value over the years.” Don’t be embarrassed or intimidated if you have only $1,000 to spend. “Being on a budget helps you build your collection slowly and thoughtfully,” he says. “You can get a steel-plate engraving, stone lithograph or even a small oil painting by a well-established artist for that amount.

There also are many works by young artists with good credentials, or second- or third-tier 19th- and early 20th-century artists, available at an affordable price.”

Whether you’re a serious or recreational collector, there are guidelines that can maximize your understanding and enjoyment of art and ensure its quality and value.

“Develop your eye, develop a relationship with a reputable dealer or curator, and buy the best you can, given your budget,” says art dealer William Shearburn, whose new gallery on South Skinker Boulevard opens Friday.

“Follow those guidelines, and the investment value of your collection will take care of itself.”

Being aware of what attracts you and keeping an open mind are essential to developing and trusting your eye, Shearburn

TAKE A JOURNEY TO OZ LIKE NO OTHER PHOTO OF DANIELLE WADE BY CYLLA VON TIEDEMANN

notes. “But at a certain point, you need to work with someone who knows what they’re doing and can help you determine what makes one piece better than another, whether it’s a museum curator, a dealer, an art critic whose work you respect, or another collector,” he says. “You’d be surprised what you can find for not a lot of money.”

Smart buys for beginners with a limited budget include photography and works on paper, Shearburn says. And the work of emerging artists is always a good place to start.

“Washington University’s MFA program holds two open studios a year,” he says. “Even if the work isn’t fully mature, you can tell if it’s promising by comparing it to the work of a fully established artist working in a similar style.”

The eye always will be more important than the wallet when it comes to art. “One of the most important collections of minimalist and conceptual art in the world was built by Herb and Dorothy Vogel, a Manhattan postal worker and his librarian wife,” Shearburn says. “They didn’t have much money—I think Herb made $20,000 a year—but they loved art.” The Vogels acquired the work of young, unknown artists, sometimes trading cat-sitting for canvasses. “Well, those artists grew up to be Donald Judd, Robert and Sylvia Mangold, and other art stars. Today, the Vogels’ collection, worth millions of dollars, belongs to the National Gallery of Art.” The moral of the story? “It doesn’t matter if you’re spending $1,000 or $1 million. If you don’t love it, if it doesn’t make your heart beat a little faster, don’t buy it.”

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL >> Like the multi-tiered, brightly colored pastries

created by Saoirse Ronan’s character, The Grand Budapest Hotel contains a carefully constructed world— exactly what you would expect from a Wes Anderson film, possibly his best yet. Some critics complain that Anderson’s movies, although pretty to look at, are unrealistic, like a dollhouse filled with wooden characters. But not every film has to be the equivalent of eating kale chips, and after an Oscar season of heavy historical drama, what a delightful treat it is to enjoy something so whimsical and charming. Set in 1932, the plot revolves around the Grand Budapest Hotel in the fictional European state of Zubrowka. The looming war casts a shadow, but for now all is civilized grace and charm. Ralph Fiennes plays M. Gustave, a discerning concierge who takes on lobby boy Zero Moustafa as his protege. Gustave, always over-cologned, loves romantic poetry, lectures his staff at mealtimes and also takes up with the hotel’s rich, old, blonde patrons. The death of one lover, Madame D (Tilda Swinton) sets off a madcap adventure involving a stolen painting, a clan of dour nobles and a prison break. Many of Anderson’s favorite actors make appearances, including Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman.

BRIDGE WITH BL♠ND

THE HOUSE OF BRIDGE franchise has been ongoing for more than 50 years, since Ted Browne opened it in 1961. The first games were held in a storefront on Southwest Avenue at Watson Road. The franchise has survived tornadoes, armed robbery, numerous address changes and three generations of owners.

Ted’s granddaughter Beth Percich has run the franchise since 1981. Beth was 15 when she started helping Ted at the club. She became a certified director and ran her first sanctioned game at 18.

The franchise has spawned many fine players. Alums include a world champion, 15 national champions, countless Life Masters, an ACBL president and one quasi-journalist. The House of Bridge currently has games several days a week at St. Louis Bridge Center.

During her years as St. Louis’ ‘alpha director,’ Beth has been a PTA board member, sports mom, and recently chaired the novice/ intermediate program at the North American Bridge Championships. In between director calls, Beth has managed to become a bridge Life Master and a very good player. Recently Beth played one of her favorite hands at the Center.

with Dr. William G. Hart, Jr.

THE STEPS GAME DAY GLAM by marylyn simpson OPENING DAY is just a few short days away, and for many female fans, choosing the perfect opening day outfit may not be as simple as wearing red and white. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or simply enjoy the all-American vibe that is Cardinals baseball, here are a few short steps to looking your best on game day, no face paint required.

Choosing the Right Filler Juvaderm, Voluma and Artefill JUVADERM® — Combines hyaluronic acid, a normal component of cartilage, with a phosphate buffer. Most often used to eliminate wrinkles, it has virtually no history of allergic reactions. There are three products, all made of the same basic material, but differ in their processing and how long they last: u u

u

Juvaderm: fine-line wrinkles, lasts for 4 to 6 months Juvaderm Ultra: placed deeper in the dermis for more volume and fill, lasts 4 to 6 months.

Juvaderm Ultra Plus: placed even deeper to support more contour irregularities, and is longer lasting at 6 to 8 months

VOLUMA™ — This is a more highly-processed version of a hyaluronic filler so it takes longer to break down and is primarily used to replace facial volume. As we age, we lose fullness along with thickness. Voluma can be used to counteract this and lasts up to two years. Raise a brow or to add volume to the cheeks, it can also be used along the jaw, the chin and around the lips.

SUN-KISSED SKIN

The first few weeks of spring (hopefully) mean warmer temperatures and sunny days.

But even with the welcome warmth, the last thing you want to do to your skin is let it bake on the bleachers. Use STILA’S BRONZING TINTED MOISTURIZER with SPF 20. It will keep your skin protected, hydrated and best of all, give it a healthy glow.

Worn alone or with your bronzer of choice, it will last from opening pitch to the very last inning.

u

HAT HAIR

Adding a little game day glam to your Cards hairstyle is as easy as it is worthwhile.

Part your hair like usual and apply a heat-protecting product. FREDERIC FEKKAI’S BRILLIANT GLOSSING CREAM is great for keeping hair hydrated and helping it retain shine, even with heat exposure. Starting just below your chin, curl your hair with a 1.5 2-inch curling iron. If you have shorter hair, start just below your ears. Make sure your curls stay in place with REDKEN’S QUICK DRY- INSTANT FINISHING HAIR SPRAY, a great lightweight hair spray. Wondering what to do with the rest of your hair? That’s where your Cards hat comes in. Nothing says game day glam like big curls and your favorite cap.

ALTERNATIVE APPAREL

VolUMA fACe lifT: This in-office procedure usually requires only a topical anesthestic. it can be combined with Botox®, fractora™ resurfacing and intradermal line fillers if desired.

The Voluma lift creates a natural, not “pulled” look, eliminates downtime and scarring, and gives immediate results.

ARTEFILL — This product incorporates microscopic metal or

While Cardinals gear is great for game day and running errands, having some Cardinals red without logos is a must. Hudson Jeans Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans are a great alternative to regular Cards gear and can be worn long after the game has ended. Pair them with a simple white top during game day or your lucky Cards vintage tee.

methacrylate beads covered with collagen for deeper tissue filling. for this procedure, a skin test is required as there can be allergic sensitivity to bovine collagen products. it is approved for treatment of smile and laugh lines, but is currently being used most often as a deep tissue filler similar to Voluma.

If you have any questions or other topics you’d like to know more about, email us at DrHart@HartMD.com.

PAINT IT RED

What do Chanel and the Cardinals have in common? NOTES DE PRINTEMPS LE VERNIS NAIL COLOR IN ROUGE RUBIS! It’s the perfect shade of Cardinals red to subtly show off your Cards pride. Even if you’re not lucky enough to be at Busch Stadium or can’t rock your gear in the office, a swipe of Rouge Rubis will keep your nails equal parts spirited and sophisticated. Of course, you can always spice up your mani with WINCRAFT TATTOO NAIL STICKERS. Apply on every nail or just use the Cardinals logo nail stickers as an accent to show off your Red Bird pride.

BASEBALL BIJOUX

Not quite sold on wearing Cardinals jewelry outside of a game? Check out Tory Burch’s line of red bracelets, earrings and necklaces that sport the same deep-red hue as our beloved team. The TILSIM LOGO HEART STUD is a beautiful red tone that boasts a gold Tory Burch logo. It’s designer-meets-baseball, and the heart-shaped earring says it all when it comes to every fan’s devotion to the Cardinals.

[ GOOD FOR THE GUT by mary konroy

Food fuels us, but our gut makes energy possible by properly processing the food we eat. How do you know if your digestive system is in good working order? By the absence of recurrent symptoms such as bleeding, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn and belly pain. Good digestion is vital to good health—what’s good for your gut is also good for you.

cranberries >> + “CRANBERRIES ARE POPULAR BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN HIGH AMOUNTS OF ANTIOXIDANTS, which slow down the effect of free radicals on healthy cells,” says CHERYL HOARD, OWNER OF CHERYL’S HERBS. Free radicals are toxic compounds produced naturally by the body and the environment, contributing to aging and associated chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. “Antioxidants disarm free radicals—and fight cancer,” she says. Cranberries also are high in vitamin C, an antioxidant important for immune function, she adds.

“We carry a sugar-free cranberry extract made from fresh organic cranberries,” Hoard says. “Some people add a few drops to water or just splash it on their tongue.

It’s good for the gums—according to the American Dental Association, the vitamin C in cranberries helps control gingivitis and inhibits dental plaque. They also help improve skin tone and elasticity.”

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME DR. PRAKASH GYAWALI

GASTROENTEROLOGIST, WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

Irritable bowel syndrome is a condition in which there is pain associated with an alteration in bowel function. This alteration can manifest as diarrhea, constipation or bloating, or a combination of symptoms. IBS is diagnosed by a pattern of symptoms that cannot be explained by another condition and by the absence of a physical cause. Consequently, some patients incorrectly believe that because their doctor didn’t ‘find’ anything on a medical test, the diagnosis of IBS must be wrong and the physician should keep looking.

IBS patients have a gut that’s hypersensitive to increased or decreased bowel movements.

Treatment is based on the dominant symptom and its severity.

If symptoms are simple and occasional, an antidiarrheal medicine or laxative might suffice. Patients with more severe symptoms are treated with medications that target the intestines. They might force the bowels to produce more fluid or improve sensation for better control.

Patients with severe IBS are treated with therapies that alter the messaging system between the intestines and the brain. This pathway is overstimulated in IBS patients. Antidepressants and psychotropic (psychiatric) drugs are used to readjust nerve-impulse transmission.

DR. CHRISTINA ROBINS

DIRECTOR, REVITALIFE WELLNESS CENTER

Irritable bowel syndrome is a broad, generalized label given to people who have a functional rather than an anatomic problem of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. We can’t find a faulty mechanism and the GI tract does not sustain damage.

Because IBS is a multifactorial disorder, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Treatment depends on the differential diagnosis, which is based on symptoms. Possible differential diagnoses include malabsorption patterns, leaky gut, a bacterial overgrowth and food intolerance (but not food allergies) to gluten, gliadin, fructose, lactose and dairy products.

After we’ve identified a differential diagnosis or two, we determine the test that’s needed to deny or confirm the suspected cause. For example, food intolerance is confirmed with blood or breath tests, whereas a complete digestive stool analysis gives multiple gut specifics.

Although there is a gut-brain connection, there also are diagnostic biases with IBS. A common one is that the patient is ‘anxious.’

While stress or depression can make your gut more sensitive, other conditions also can cause digestive discomfort.

a peek inside: optical vs. virtual

COLONOSCOPY

DR. JASON TAYLOR

GASTROENTEROLOGIST, SLUCARE

Patients today have a variety of colorectal cancer-screening options.

They include standard or optical colonoscopy (an examination of the entire colon and rectum), a sigmoidoscopy (an examination of the lower rectum and colon), a double barium enema, or fecal-occult blood tests. A CT colonography, otherwise known as a virtual colonoscopy, is a screening modality approved by the American Cancer Society in 2008.

Today the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer and several medical societies also recognize it as an acceptable screening option. In fact, 22 states, including Missouri, now mandate that insurance carriers reimburse for it.

Everyone should have a screening colonoscopy when they turn 50, or sooner if they are at increased risk for colorectal cancer. Ideally, patients should have an informed discussion with their gastroenterologist about screening options. Current published data indicates that more than one-third of patients who undergo an optical colonoscopy will have polyps. A virtual colonoscopy does not allow for polyp removal, so I generally recommend the optical colonoscopy.

DR. JEFFREY KREIKEMEIER

GASTROENTEROLOGIST, GATEWAY GI SIGNATURE MEDICAL GROUP

Virtual colonoscopies are ideal for people who’ve had incomplete colonoscopies because of a stricture, which is an abnormal narrowing, or a ‘tortuous’ colon with twists and bends that prevent the colonoscope from advancing.

A virtual colonoscopy allows us to see the part of the colon not reached by the colonoscope. Although there’s a clinical indication for a virtual colonoscopy, it’s really not meant to be a primary cancer-screening modality. Still, some people without kinks in their colon opt for the virtual exam.

Both optical and virtual colonoscopies involve bowel preparation by the patient. Patients undergoing an optical colonoscopy are sedated, whereas patients undergoing a virtual colonoscopy are not. The virtual exam involves a contrast dye given to the patient via an enema. As the dye travels throughout the rectum, a CT scanner and special software reconstruct images of the rectum and colon.

HEARTBURN DR. PAUL BUSE

GASTROENTEROLOGIST, MERCY CLINIC DIGESTIVE DISEASES

Heartburn isn’t a disease of too much acid. It’s acid in the wrong place. Approximately 15 to 20 percent of the U.S. adult population experiences it periodically. People who have multiple episodes of heartburn weekly or daily may have a more serious condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Treatment has changed little over the years, but there are new spins on an old class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. These drugs suppress acid production in the stomach to a high degree.

Newer versions are even more potent. Another class of drugs used to treat GERD is H2 antagonists. They work well on mild reflux disease and don’t have some of the side effects associated with proton pump inhibitors, including increased risk of metabolic bone diseases such as osteopenia and osteoporosis.

My advice to patients who have uncomplicated GERD is to avoid proton pump inhibitors if you can, or use the lowest dose possible. Better yet, modify your lifestyle, pay special attention to your bone health, and make sure your calcium and vitamin D intake is adequate.

AFUA BROMLEY

OWNER/ACUPUNCTURIST, ACUPUNCTURE SAINT LOUIS & WELLNESS CENTER

Stress and bad eating habits often trigger heartburn. Some people eat too quickly. They eat on the run or late at night, often before they retire. Refrain from eating at least two to three hours before you go to bed; by then food should have passed through the stomach. Stay away from fatty, greasy and spicy foods. If high-acid foods like tomatoes, lemons or orange juice cause heartburn, avoid them.

Some people also benefit from taking natural digestive enzymes, such as papaya. Papaya enzyme helps the body break down food.

People with more severe heartburn might need a more ‘clinical strength’ digestive enzyme. Another natural technique is to drink ginger tea while eating. Ginger acts as a digestive aid. Increase your consumption of fermented foods, especially raw sauerkraut, kimchi (a Korean side dish made of vegetables) and yogurt. They all help lower the incidence of heartburn. So does kefir, a dairy product packed with a lot of good gut bacteria called probiotics. Prevention is the best heartburn medicine.

sweeteners >> + “GIVEN THE CHANCE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN AGAVE AND STEVIA, I would choose stevia—but would really prefer no sweeteners,” says CINDY WILLBRAND, NATUROPATH, WEBSTER FAMILY PHYSICIANS. Although it comes from a plant, agave syrup or agave nectar, sold in most mainstream grocery stores, is processed and refined. “It’s sweeter than the sap that comes naturally from the exotic blue agave plant found

in Mexico, and is similar to high-fructose corn syrup,” Willbrand says.

Stevia also comes from a plant but packs few or no calories; agave syrup has about 16 calories per teaspoon, Willbrand notes. “A 2010 study about the effects of stevia, aspartame and sucrose on food intake also found that people who used stevia didn’t overeat,” she says. “Refined sugar and some artificial sweeteners

actually heighten one’s desire for more carbohydrates.”

Willbrand recommends a whole-foods diet for her patients. “In general, I move them away from sugar and sweeteners. But even when people reduce their intake, they often start looking for a substitute. If they cut sugar and sweeteners out of their diet, their taste for sweets will decline.”

7000 block of University City’s Delmar Boulevard is a brand-new home—although you might not notice. Designed with a careful balance of historic charm and modern amenities, the elegant home doesn’t look any different from its older neighbors. “The area is rich with St. Louis architectural tradition, and we tried to be very sympathetic to that,” says architect Barry Glantz of Glantz & Associates Architects, who designed the house for Mehlman Homes Realty.

The 4,200-square-foot home at 7036 Delmar Blvd. is located in the historic Phoenix Heights neighborhood and overlooks Lewis Park. Its long-established feel is accomplished, in part, with a detailed brick exterior. “It’s all reminiscent of what people would see at the turn of the century—older homes in St. Louis were traditionally brick with a lot of rich detail,” Glantz says.

Although brick is far more expensive than siding, Glantz says it was crucial not to cut corners. “People will pay for craftsmanship and detail, and that’s what we’ve tried to do here,” he says. “We didn’t want to just plop a typical suburban home into this setting.

Our hope was that it would look like it had been there for years.”

Inside, the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom home features a traditional center foyer flanked by living and dining rooms. The back areas are wide open, with a great room, breakfast room and kitchen flowing into each other to enhance family living and informal entertaining. “The way each space is designed, it works together,” Glantz says. “For example, the breakfast room is basically open space and flows with the kitchen and great room, but it’s also got a nook that sets it apart.”

The home’s upper level also has a popular contemporary element: a laundry room. “The bedrooms are upstairs, and that is where most of the laundry is generated,” Glantz says. “It’s a dated approach to place the laundry between the garage and the house.”

Glantz is no stranger to designing custom houses amid existing communities and says he enjoyed working on this home. “This was a fun one to work on because it’s in an older, established neighborhood and fortunately the builder didn’t want to fight the surroundings,” he says. “It’s always been important for the Mehlmans to take a step back and not put a typical cookie-cutter house up.”

modern family

by rebecca koenig photos by suzy gorman

Opposite: Builder Howard Glickman preserved mature trees by accommodating them in his deck designs.

This page, clockwise from top left: Neutral tones add warmth to the kitchen; natural light floods the dining area; the homeowners love the Tennessee Crab Orchard flagstone and large fireplace, which extends outside; Glickman and the current owners on a cantilvered deck under a flying buttress overhang.

Every spring, Howard Glickman, principal of Saint Louis Group Design/Build, returns to the first home he ever built to see the flowering dogwood trees he planted in 1978. During a recent visit, he met the new homeowners, a young family with two children who remind him of his own. Although their experiences with the house are separated by decades, Glickman and the new owner love the same qualities in this Ladue residence.

T&S | What’s the backstory about this house?

HOWARD GLICKMAN | I designed the home for my family and myself, back in ’78. At that time, I was fortunate enough to procure this piece of virtually undevelopable property.

It sloped down the hill, and the original developer of the subdivision chose not to include it. I saw I could do something with it. It does slope tremendously, therefore I had to build a stairstepping home: There’s about five levels inside.

We ended up designing a contemporary home, a less-is-more statement. [There were] very mature trees on the property and I was very conscious about saving these trees. It’s easy to cut them down, but it’s not easy to grow them over 20 or 50 years.

This is my home away from home. I spent 21 years in it, raised a family and did a lot of planting on the property.

T&S | What attracted you to the house?

CURRENT OWNER | We loved the contemporary architecture, and we’d never seen a house like this before. We liked the setting, with a lot of nature around it.

T&S | What aesthetic did you hope to achieve with your decor and furniture?

CO | We wanted the architecture to be the art for the house, so we opted to have more simple, clean spaces. We like a relaxed, minimalist look, without too many things put around. We purchased almost the entire living room furniture set from the previous owner because they had such great taste. We like folk art a lot so we have some pieces from local St. Louis artists. We were lucky that a lot of it fit right in with the architecture. I guess our whole aesthetic was meant for this house because we owned things already that worked.

THIS IS MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME. I SPENT 21 YEARS IN IT, RAISED A FAMILY AND DID A LOT OF PLANTING ON THE PROPERTY.

T&S | Tell me about the outdoor spaces.

CO | The decks are amazing and great for entertaining. Trees grow through two of the decks, one of them on the top floor. I find that the rounded decks are a nice complement to the more angular parts of the house.

It’s nice to watch the wildlife outside. We have foxes here, and a beautiful barn owl visits quite a bit. It seems like each season we get a whole new animal family: We had a family of turkeys in the fall, and a family of chipmunks born in the spring.

HG | There are stairsteps down the hill, and there’s a creek at the bottom; it’s so nice to hear the water.

T&S | What’s it like to raise children in such a contemporary space?

CO | I think they’re learning to appreciate art and architecture, as well as nature, by living here.

T&S | What are your favorite features?

CO | The gas fireplace extends out on the other side of the window; I think those kind of special touches make the house unique. The floor in the living room is also really cool because it brings nature into the house. It’s Tennessee Crab Orchard flagstone—very beautiful and durable. It’s an interesting texture that kind of blends with the woods and complements the smooth walls. There are a lot of windows, so depending on where you are in the house, you get a different view of the nature outside. And we love the natural light that comes in. We have some skylights and it’s nice to have natural light in your everyday life.

HG | On the corner of the front deck, there’s a flying buttress cantilevered element. You look up and can see the sky. In the back, on the master bedroom deck, I built the same feature.

T&S | How did you meet each other?

HG | I go back every spring to look at the white flowering dogwoods leading down to the garage. A man came out and said, “Can I help you?” I said, “I’m just looking at the trees, I used to live here.” He asked, “Are you Howard Glickman?” Then he starts talking with a joyful smile on his face and gives me a bear hug. He said, “I love my home.” And I said, “That’s music to my ears.” It was so nice. They invited me over for dinner and I got to meet their children; it was like a homecoming. They’re invited to my birthday party!

CO | We’ve befriended Howard; he’s a wonderful man. It’s nice to hear how he came up with the house and some of the other ideas that he had for it.

T&S | What’s it like to be back inside this house?

HG | They reminded me of myself and my children, it was déjà vu. How intimate that was—this family is sort of like history repeating itself.

Left: A minimal aesthetic in the living room showcases the angular architecture.

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

One of the first things we did after we became homeowners of this property three years ago was remove a dense row of yews that obscured the front of the house.

Now it’s looking a bit austere, or like a blank slate waiting for something. I would appreciate recommendations for landscaping—something understated but stately, and ideally low maintenance.

DEAR LESS IS MORE,

———LESS IS MORE

You’re in luck! You can keep it simple because the architecture of your home really doesn’t need anything. It has a handsome composition and is made out of quality materials.

It also has unique and charming details that make it both welcoming and impressive. The only real need here is for the supporting landscape to make it look lived-in and loved.

My first suggestion is to create a long, low hedge to run the length of the façade. This ties the entire composition together and eliminates the current barren feeling. These hedges should always be trimmed to the drawn height.

Additionally, I would use two window boxes, two Versailles boxes and two terra cotta flower pots to sprinkle some bright red flowers and sweet potato vines around, creating a feeling of overflowing luxury.

Hopefully, you will find that all simple enough. Good luck with your changes now that the weather is warming up.

AFTER

BEFORE

Thanks for asking.
