[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] If you yawned, you might have missed it, but a recent NPR report mentioned St. Louis as No. 1 in a national study on charities. I heard it while driving home from Atlanta, a wealthy city that ranked a mere 29 out of 30 on the list—not that I’m gloating or anything. In the interest of full disclosure, the study was not actually a measure of how much a city donates, but rather of the quality of its charities: “St. Louis’ nonprofit sector is the top in performance in the nation.” Conducted by Charity Navigator, the Metro Market Charitable Analysis Study evaluates nonprofits based on financial, accountability and transparency practices. Still, ranking No. 1 on anything charitable is impressive, but really not surprising. We who live here witness generosity regularly. Name a disease, and there’s probably a group devoted to easing, publicizing or eradicating it. When a neighbor is gravely ill, it’s not unusual to find a fundraiser organized in his or her name. Even our Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District (tax-supported free attractions) is an expression of communal charity. Everyone knows inclusion builds a better city than exclusion, but St. Louis actually walks the walk. A closer look at the study’s details shows that St. Louis also stacks up very nicely in dollar figures. We generate $3,766,240 in charity compared to the median of $3,055,691. You might think, What’s a hundred thousand or two, give or take? But we’re smaller than the cities we bested—places like Houston, Boston, San Francisco, Miami, L.A., Dallas, Chicago and NYC—and, on the whole, less affluent. I think we can go ahead and gloat a little. —Dorothy F. Weiner Editor in Chief

COVER STORY

EASTER SEALS ] MIDWEST

by tony di martino

OUR COUNTRY’S FOUNDERS BELIEVED all people are created equal and entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But that pursuit often is difficult for individuals with disabilities, for whom the unemployment rate is 15 percent (compared to 7 percent for the general population). And a shocking 60 to 80 percent of people with autism and other developmental disabilities can’t find work. Easter Seals Midwest, formerly known as Life Skills | TouchPoint, teaches people with developmental disabilities the skills they need to get a job, make friends and function as independently as possible. “No matter how severe their limitations, every human being can make a meaningful contribution to their community,” says CEO Wendy Sullivan. “All they need is the opportunity. Our affiliation with Easter Seals, the leading nonprofit provider of services for individuals with disabilities, helps us give more people a chance.” The agency, which serves more than 3,600 Missourians, operates three divisions. Autism Services offers training, therapies and support services; Community Living teaches independent living skills; and Employment Services helps individuals with developmental disabilities develop job skills and find and maintain meaningful employment. “Employment Services places anywhere from 50 to 60 clients per year in substantial jobs with competitive wages at more than 120 local businesses,” Sullivan says. “We also provide ongoing support for hundreds of clients to make sure they succeed. It’s a win-win situation: every employer we’ve surveyed gladly would recommend our clients to other businesses.” Meadowbrook Country Club, for example, hired 31-year-old Frederick Holbrook to work in the kitchen more than a year ago. “He’s one of several Easter Seals Midwest clients we’ve employed, and they all do very well,” says general manager Jim Bahlinger.

“Frederick is dedicated and loyal, and he has a great work ethic. Everyone likes him.” When a new chef changed the layout of the kitchen, Easter Seals staff helped Frederick make the transition, he adds. The cost of training and placing workers is not fully covered by government funding, Sullivan notes. A major fundraiser, the two-day Par-Tee Dinner Auction and Tee-It-Up Golf Tournament, takes place July 27 and 28 at Meadowbrook. “The event raises more than $350,000 a year toward helping people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to our services,” Sullivan says. “We value our partnership with Meadowbrook—they’ve hosted our dinner and tournament the last 29 years. It’s always a first-class production. We couldn’t do it without their support.” Event co-chairs are Matthew Goldenberg, Bill Bartelsmeyer and Erin Woerther. Mungenast Lexus of St. Louis serves as Hole-in-One Sponsor. Festivities include a golf clinic for Easter Seals Midwest clients, taught by Meadowbrook pros. “Our clients don’t want or need favors or special treatment,” Sullivan says. “They just want to work side-by-side with others in our community. Our annual dinner auction and golf tournament helps people with developmental disabilities achieve the dignity and self-sufficiency that come from having a job they love—and a paycheck, too.”

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

Talk about secondhand smoke! A cat and a gerbil recently were rescued from Chesterfield Veterinary Clinic in the 14000 block of Olive Boulevard, right next to St. Louis Cigars, after a fire broke out at the cigar shop in the wee hours. The fire was contained in the cigar

shop, but firefighters say the two animals were exposed to smoke from next door. Still, a vet staffer says they should be OK. Weeks after the fire, the pungent smell of smoke was still noticeable in the pet place. But even an aficionado of the world’s most stinky … read finest … cigar would find this odor quite nasty. It wasn’t the heady aroma of tobacco, but the acrid smell of fried wire, burnt plastic and melted insulation typical of an electrical fire. The store and gaming club remains closed for repairs, but through the window, poker chips are all lined up, ready for the next hand. Meanwhile, members will have to think up another excuse for their spouses, maybe skateboarding? Some may think Food Truck Fridays at Tower Grove Park are all that—but you can’t keep a good food truck down. Clayton has teamed with area mobile muncheries to showcase Shaw Park in a few very important appearances there. If you missed the recent June 8 evening of eating, listening and frolicking, you still have July 13 and Aug. 10 to make an afternoon of it (4 to 8 p.m.). July’s music comes from a band named Vote For Pedro; kids’ entertainment is provided by Bubble Bus. The band’s name derives from the cult film Napoleon Dynamite (apropos). As a rule, food trucks sport edgy, ‘indy’ monikers. July’s mobile lineup includes: 2 Girls 4 Wheels, Cha-Chas’s, Curbside Cookery, Deli on a Roll, Destination Desserts, Guerrilla Street, Hot Aztec, Sarah’s Cake Stop, Smoke N Motion, Vincent Van Doughnut … (What? No Seoul Taco? They aren’t on the list for August, either.) Bring one, bring all,

OF THE

bring lawn chairs. No charge … except for the foodular items, of course. Would you get a little dirty for $50 cash? (OMG … not that kind of dirty! This is a family magazine.) Leaving few stones unturned, about 100 rabid followers of a nascent Twitter initiative descended on Memorial Park in Creve Coeur to paw through mulch and under bushes, even climb a tree or two, before one lucky dad (it was Father’s Day, after all) came up with the 50 bucks. What’s it all about? Well, anonymous donors hide cash, usually $20 to $100, then drop hints on social media as to its whereabouts in this mini-juggernaut that’s spread from city to city, and now to The Lou. What fun for the donor(s) and recipients in this new spin on pay it forward! But it’s not all finders keepers, in theory. Finders are encouraged to use all or part of the money in random acts of kindness. For some in need, it wouldn’t cost a thing. An explanation of the whys and what-theheck-fors of the Twitterverse, Instagram and/or Snapchat would be most helpful, and it wouldn’t cost one red cent. Inside the Little Free Library, there’s no card catalog. No help desk. There’s no room in there for anything but books, not even a help-yourself desk. But that’s the whole idea. Take what you like, keep it for as long as you want, and when you return it, donate another one and maybe more. We’ve dropped by a couple of these homey and not-much-bigger-than-a-breadbox libraries, one of which was filled largely with textbooks. (Eww. It’s summer.) But there’s something extra-special about this painted one with shutters in an Olivette neighborhood. It leaned more toward kids books … and thrillers ... which makes total sense, considering it’s the home of Stephen King’s niece Kathleen! The pay-it-forward concept is nothing new, although this spin is especially refreshing for kids. It’s about sharing and conservation, not to mention the message that sometimes less is more. Green camo cap? Check. Coordinating green knit shirt? Check. What to wear if you’re going to see your parole officer? Well, this hapless knucklehead didn’t have an appointment, but the corrections employee sure saw him—on surveillance video, trying to rob a bank. And how’d that work out for him? Our miscreant told a teller at a Bank of America in St. Charles there was a bomb in the building, demanded only $50 and $100 bills, then managed to

leave empty-handed one Monday morning, and he’d even brought an envelope for the teller’s convenience. By that evening he was in the clink, probably wishing he had a boatload of those Benjamins to make his $100,000 cash-only bail … although they probably wouldn’t let you do that, would they? Anyhow, along with the untold thousands of viewers and net surfers who got to see him all dressed up to go hunting was a parole officer he’d been assigned when he was released from the big house, courtesy of a 1999 armed robbery in St. Louis County. Sigh. In any career, experience counts. But dude, you’ve got to stay outside to get it. Seventy years ago June 6, if ‘the longest day’ hadn’t come off like it did, the modern world atlas might look radically different. But D-Day, the Allied invasion of Fortress Europe, turned the tide against Nazi Germany. St. Louis Public Library and the National Churchill Museum this month kicked off a yearlong series featuring monthly screenings of movies set during World War II, complete with discussions that put each film in historical context. Films include Battle of Britain, Battle of the Bulge, Das Boot, Downfall, Memphis Belle, The Cruel Sea, The Dam Busters … and, of course, The Longest Day. The next screening is The Great Escape at 1:15 p.m. July 13. On June, 1 a discussion led by Kit Freudenberg, acting director of the National Churchill Museum, followed a showing of the Academy Award-winning The Bridge on the River Kwai. Does a high-five from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) equal impending construction of the Loop Trolley? Well, for a project so long on the horizon, it appears the horizon is upon us. The Loop Trolley Transit Development District (TDD) plans to issue construction bid packages this month, with building expected to begin later this summer. Mokhtee Ahmad, FTA regional administrator, reportedly seemed pretty pumped at a recent quarterly meeting. Ahmad presented framed posters to Joe Edwards and Chris Poehler with the slogan: “When it comes to streetcars, I turn red into green.” (Edwards, chairman of the Loop Trolley TDD, is owner of Blueberry Hill and The Pageant, and a famously staunch promoter of revitalization in and around the Delmar Loop; Poehler is the Loop Trolley TDD administrator.) How big a deal is this? The Loop Trolley is one of only five projects, out of 65 proposed nationwide, to receive an FTA Urban Circulator Grant. The $25 million FTA grant is the major funding source

for this $43 million fixed-route electric trolley system. Way to go! Did they jump or were they pushed? The (former) lead ad agency for Sunset Hills-based Panera says they threw up their hands in frustration with frequent changes in direction and infighting, among other things, and walked. But toppers at the bagel-sandwich-salad shops say the company was reviewing its account with Chicago agency Cramer-Krasselt, and the agency declined to participate. This is one insiders may talk about for, well, another week. Anyone who’s been in the agency biz, and maybe a few folks who’ve seen Mad Men, knows that it’s all hands on deck when your agency is under scrutiny.

the illusion that advertising is a cushy job or a pony ride are about to get busted by a bronc. Indeed, the stakes are high: Give or take a few grand, Panera reportedly spends $94 million annually on its national advertising program—there are 1,500-plus of the bakery cafés in the U.S. Already, Panera has no shortage of suitors. Just a few days after the ‘divorce,’ Manifest Digital, with Chicago and St. Louis offices, showed up on the doorstep with a 40-second video touting its ‘superior ingredient.’ Panera, like any business, wants a big bang for its buck, and ‘breakthrough creative’ is the coin of this realm. Brings to mind a billboard for salads: ‘Seize the Summer. Seize the Salad.’ I’d hope that during the creative brainstorm some intern, at least, suggested ‘Seize the Caesar.’

SPRING SPORTS WRAP-UP

by bill hester

The 2014 spring sports season for area teams featured an unprecedented championship and a title for the ages. The Westminster Christian Academy baseball team became the first in state history to string four consecutive championships, while the St. Joseph’s Academy girls soccer team came back from a two-goal deficit in the second half to defeat one of the country’s top-ranked teams and win its first title in a dozen years.

[ baseball ]

The Westminster Christian Class 4 championship was the highlight of the season as the Wildcats extended their string of elimination victories to 26 games. “Every game is an elimination game in the post-season,” coach Rich Van Gilst says. The championship game was scoreless until the fifth inning, when the Wildcats broke through for a 5-0 victory over Pembroke Hill. The Wildcats defended their Class 4 championship this year. They had won in Class 3 in 2011 and 2012. Ten seniors were key contributors this year and two others, Shane Benes and Kyle Kinner, were injured for the year. None played in all four of the title games. “These seniors have played together a long time,” Van Gilst says. “I’m so glad they were able to get it done again as seniors. They were a close group of guys who had a goal they wanted and went out every day to achieve it.” Vianney reached the final four in Class 5, finishing fourth after losses to 2013 champion Francis Howell in the semifinals and Blue Springs South in the third game. The Griffins ended the season with a 29-7 record and a Metro Catholic Conference title. “The pitching was good from beginning to end,” Vianney coach Scott Brown says. “We struggled to score runs at times, but we had a great group of seniors, with a lot to be proud of.” Four other area teams finished the season as conference champions: Valley Park (South Central); Ladue (Suburban East); Parkway North (Suburban South); and Marquette (Suburban West). Marquette senior Matt Scheibel was named Player of the Year in the Suburban West Conference. Scheibel hit .395 with eight home runs and 43 RBI. Ladue junior Jack Fox earned the same honor in the Suburban East Conference. The catcher finished the season with a lofty average of .484.

The game of the year this spring was the Class 3 championship soccer game, as St. Joseph’s Academy upset St. Teresa’s 3-2 in overtime. Kaley Nieters scored the game-winner after the Angels tied the game with a pair of dead ball goals in the second half. “We were playing the top-ranked team in the country and nobody gave us much of a chance to win,” says St. Joe coach Maureen McVey, whose team lost to St. Teresa’s 1-0 in last year’s state tournament. “We played relaxed but it didn’t look good when we got down 2-0 against the topranked team. I just wanted to make it respectable at that point. But we

got the two goals within three minutes from almost the exact same spot on the field. It was a great accomplishment for a team with five freshmen.” Nieters, who will play next year at Iowa State, capped off her high school career with game-winning goals in both the semifinals against Francis Howell North and again in the championship game in overtime. The championship was the seventh for the Angels and the fifth for McVey. It was the team’s first since 2002. Visitation also captured a state championship this spring. The Vivettes did so in dramatic fashion as they defeated Kearney 2-1 in overtime. And again, it was a senior standout who put an exclamation point on her career: Sarah Price, who is headed to Arkansas to play soccer, scored the championship-winner. Price, along with Liz Hopkins (who will play at Mercer) and Abby Grimes (who will play field hockey at Louisville), were the three senior captains who started since they were freshmen. They sandwiched a state title when they were freshmen in 2011 with this year’s championship. “Those three captains were terrific,” Visitation coach Dick Westbrook says. “They were very talented but also great leaders, playing every game like it was their last. The chemistry with this group was great, and it was so nice to have a storybook ending.” The state title was the fifth for the Vivettes, who finished the season with a 21-3-2 record. Four area teams ended the season as undefeated league champions: St. Joe (Metro Women’s Athletic Association); MICDS (Metro); Crossroads (South Central); and Ladue (Suburban East). Webster Groves and Parkway Central shared the Suburban South Conference championship. MICDS senior Caroline Militello was Player of the Year in the Metro League. Ladue senior Natasha Medler was Player of the Year in the Suburban East and Webster Groves junior Maddie Pokorny earned CAROLINE MILITELLO that recognition in the Suburban South Conference. MICDS

Three area boys and one area relay team stood at the top of the podium. Kirkwood senior Bryant Boyd won the high jump in Class 4 (6-8) while Lafayette sophomore Dylan Quisenberry helped the Lancers to a second-place finish with a championship in the 800-meter run in Class 4 (1:54.52). John Burroughs senior John Moten was the other area individual champion. He won the 100-meter dash in Class 3 (10.58). CBC defended its championship in the 4x400-meter relay in Class 4. Seniors Jerrick Powell and Stephan Hickman were on both champion relay teams. This

year they teamed with seniors Dominic Vaiana and Jarred Pasley to run a 3:14.98. The Cadets finished fourth as a team in Class 4. No area girls team finished in the top five this spring. The highlight of the season was the effort of Brentwood thrower Sophia Rivera. The Eagle sophomore defended her Class 2 titles in both the shot put and the discus. Her discus throw of 129-11 was more than 16 feet farther than any other competitor. She also defended her state title in the shot put, throwing 45-8, more than 6 feet better than the second-place finisher. The other area champion, Jordan McClendon of John Burroughs, won the Class 3 championship in the shot put with a throw of 43-8.75. John Burroughs, which had the best team finish as sixth in Class 3, also had a second-place finish from Annalise Wagner in the 800-meter run. One of the highlights locally was the second-place finish in the 4x800-meter relay by MICDS. It was accomplished by three sophomores (Katherine Laughlin, Geneva Lee and Margaret Sliney) and a freshman (Lexi Walsh).

[ boys volleyball ]

It took 20 years but Parkway Central coach Tom Schaefer was finally able to celebrate a championship with his team. The Colts defeated Affton 25-18, 25-12 to win the Class 3 championship.

[ boys tennis ]

The state tournament featured an individual singles and doubles and team championship in Class 1. John Burroughs’ junior Michael Peters won the Class 1 singles title after finishing second in doubles as a freshman and sophomore. He also finished second with the team last year and was part of two secondplace finishes on the Bomber football team. “I’ve always believed that champions are decided long before trophies and medals are awarded, and Michael proved that to be true this year,” Burroughs coach Matt Waite says. “Michael set the intention of winning the state tournament the day he left Springfield last year as runner-up.” Peters defeated MICDS’ Tyler Raclin in the championship match. Westminster Christian seniors Derek Bell and Bailey Merkel defended their Class 1 doubles title. It was the fourth state medal for Merkel. MICDS won the Class 1 team championship, doing so MICHAEL PETERS, JBS in dominant fashion. The Rams did not lose a set in defeating John Burroughs in the semifinals and Pembroke Hill in the championship match. Rams Tyler Raclin and Joe McAllister shared time at the No. 1 singles position, along with senior captain Geoffrey Raclin and sophomore Rex Serituk. “We had strong players at the top of the lineup but we were very fortunate to have such a deep team,” MICDS coach Patrick Huewe says. “We had six guys who could have played in the top three on almost any team in the state.”

[ boys golf ]

There were no champions, either individually or as a team, this spring, although three teams finished in second-place in their respective classes. De Smet Jesuit was second in the Class 4 Tournament, which was played at the Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau. James Siegfried was the top Spartan finisher. He was sixth. Parkway South’s Raymund Gonzales had the best state finish in Class 4. He finished third. MICDS tied with Logan-Rogersville for second-place in the Class 3 Tournament at the Fremont Hills Golf Club in Fremont Hills. Andrew Lilly, who finished fourth, had the best Ram finish and the best for an area golfer. Whitfield ended four strokes behind Barstow, placing second in the Class 2 Tournament at Silo Ridge Golf and Country Club in Bolivar. Chase Kinder and Colin Strege earned all-state recognition for the Warriors.

PARKWAY CENTRAL

Parkway Central won a championship in 1991 when boys volleyball was a club sport. They also reached the finals in 2011. “We were in the final four last year and lost to eventual champion Vianney in the semifinals,” Schaefer says. “We were bringing the bulk of the team back so I knew we had the experience and the talent. They played fantastic volleyball in the post-season.” The Colts were seeded first and needed to defeat the second seed (Webster Groves) in the quarterfinals, the fourth seed (Parkway North) in the semifinals and the third seed (Affton) in the finals. The Colts were undefeated in the Suburban South Conference and finished the year with a 28-8-2 record. CBC lost to Lindbergh in three games in the Class 4 championship. Lafayette was undefeated in league in winning the Suburban West Conference, while Vianney, De Smet Jesuit and SLUH shared the league crown in the Metro Catholic Conference.

[ lacrosse ]

It was an MICDS sweep as the Rams captured both the boys’ and girls’ titles. The boys upset top-seeded CBC in winning the Missouri Scholastic Lacrosse Association Division I championship. They did so with drama as Will Cella scored in sudden death overtime for an 11-10 victory (CBC had defeated MICDS by the same score in the regular season). The championship was the fourth for the Rams, but their first since 2005. “This was a six-year effort for the seniors,” MICDS coach Andy Kay says. “Those guys were my first group of seventh graders when I came to St. Louis and it’s been amazing to see the evolution of the program in these six years.” Marquette was the top seed in Division II and advanced to the championship game but lost a thriller to Lindbergh, 4-3. The MICDS girls followed the championship of the boys the next day, with an 11-7 victory over rival John Burroughs. The Rams were led by senior Olivia Polk, who was named co-player of the year in the Metro League along with John Burroughs junior Barrett Carlson. Ursuline finished third in the state tournament. The Bears defeated Eureka 10-7 in the third place game.

[ water polo ]

Parkway West captured its third title in winning the Missouri Water Polo District Championship game at the Rec-Plex in St. Peters. The Longhorns defeated perennial powerhouse SLUH in an exciting championship game, 13-12. The Junior Bills were defending champions and have won 16 state crowns. Seniors Grant Keesling and Chandler Klemm scored four times each in the title game. They led the way during the season as Klemm finished with 131 goals while Keesling had 105. Four area players were named Players of the Year in their respective conferences: Parkway South senior Trent Davis (Gateway South); De Smet Jesuit senior Zach Holtgrewe (Gateway West); Kirkwood senior Geoffery Berger (Gateway Central); and MICDS senior Tommy Stupp (Gateway North).

AWARDS

PATTY: I am just the opposite, a loud talker, which I suspect comes as a surprise to exactly no one. I want people to hear me, especially if it’s funny, so I am rewarded with a laugh. Now I assume that you have had your hearing tested recently, so we know the problem is not your ears? Could your friend just be insecure? Does this only happen when you are in a group, or also one-on-one? If you have repeatedly asked her to speak up, encouraged her both publicly and privately to make her voice heard, and she is still talking in a whisper, I can’t see the point of continuing to hang out with her. That said, if she is the perfect audience for your stories and jokes and you’re getting the laughs you deserve, leaning in and listening intently every once in a while isn’t such a bad thing. RASCHELLE: Yes, this is quite the conundrum. What is the world coming to, I mean a friend who actually doesn’t shout at you …that is tough. Yeah, I’m being snarky; I just don’t get why someone who is soft-spoken is a burden to you and your friends. Here’s some things you could consider doing: choose quiet and calmer places to dine when you’re with this friend, invite a smaller group, host a dinner party, sheesh, go to a movie where no talking is required. Look, you might be on the receiving end of years of my pent-up hostility at my own loud-talking family, but have you ever thought of this: maybe she’s quiet to compensate for everyone else being so loud! Maybe she’s a normal-volume talker and you’re just excessively loud. Think I’m wrong? Then explain why Amtrak has an official ‘quiet car’ devoted completely to silence.

MY FRIEND JUST SPENT $700 ON A PAIR OF SHOES BUT ALWAYS CALLS HERSELF ‘TOO POOR’ TO ATTEND FUNDRAISING EVENTS. I THINK IT IS UNSEEMLY. CAN I SAY SOMETHING? —PRIORITIES OUT OF WHACK

PATTY: Absolutely, especially if you want to seem judgmental and end your friendship. Here’s the deal. What people give to charity or what fundraising events they attend is their business, not yours. You have no idea what they do with their money, unless of course you are their accountant and in that case, well yes, you can say something. If I want my friends to attend a fundraising event, I buy the tickets and ask them to go as my guests. If they decide to make an additional contribution to the organization, fantastic. Your friend’s ‘too poor’ comment might just be her way of saying, “I don’t really support the organization.” Now, about spending $700 on a pair of shoes, I suspect Raschelle may disagree with me, but really? Your feet feel that much better? Just think if you had taken that money and invested it in a mutual fund … RASCHELLE: Wow, the first thing that comes to mind is this old proverb: Charity masks a multitude of sins. Now, you may not want to admit that it is true—perhaps not always, but often enough. So let’s start there. You’re so focused on giving not only your own money but your friends’ too. I gotta ask, what sins are you hiding? Why do you feel the need to enforce some level of giving as a prerequisite to friendship? I agree with Patty, it’s ‘nunya’, as we say in my house. Here, I’ll use it in a sentence: Your friend’s philanthropic proclivities are nunya business. So butt out of her giving. Where Patty and I part company is on the shoes. Yes, buy the expensive shoes, always. They last longer so there’s value in them; they are more comfortable so there is a better experience in them; they look better so there is art in them; life is short, so seize the moment. In my book that adds up to an investment, not an expenditure. There you go: in addition to friendship advice, a philosophical argument for the good shoes. Aaaaaaand, you’re welcome. >> PATTY HANNUM LOVES GOOD SHOES BUT PREFERS A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN A WELL-PERFORMING MUTUAL FUND. >> RASCHELLE BURTON PREFERS PRADA!

RUNNER

by rebecca koenig

IT’S FRIDAY AFTERNOON and you’re stuck in rush hour traffic. Your two kids are fighting in the backseat, your stomach is grumbling and you would love nothing more than to get home, flop on the couch and relax after a hectic week of work. But there’s a long to-do list demanding your attention, so you sigh and plow into the frenzied shopping center parking lot. If you can’t bear to stomach this scenario one more time, there’s good news: The staffers at a new personal services company, Runner, are happy to do your errands for you. “Time is the most important thing we have in our lives,” president and CEO Vince Mahtani says. “Our goal is to give time back to people.” Almost any errand imaginable can be outsourced to Runner. Clients book staff members for car repair appointments, DMV visits and wedding-related tasks. The company recently added pet-walking to its litany of services. “Because it’s vacation season, we’ve seen a huge [interest in] having groceries delivered and ready as people get home,” Mahtani says. For that service, a client submits his or her shopping list and stores of choice through the Runner website, then pre-loads his or her account with money via PayPal. A Runner staff member does the shopping and delivery, and the client receives a detailed receipt and invoice noting the remaining account balance. Older St. Louisans who have mobility challenges or who prefer not to travel in heat or bad weather especially may benefit from Runner. “We took an elderly woman who had hurt her knee to the doctor and to the store,” Mahtani recounts. “She was tired of inconveniencing her family, and we’re the perfect solution. We’re doing something that really helps people.” Corporate clients also can use Runner. “We will be the service that sets up the booth for a trade show Saturday morning by 8 a.m,” Mahtani says. “They’re so impressed: They show up and it’s already done.”

Memberships range from Bronze level, which provides four hours of service per month, to Gold level, which offers 10. Hours of availability and turnaround time vary depending on membership level, but all members can book errands Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Gold members also have access to Saturday hours. Airport shuttles are offered 24-7 for an additional fee. Discretion is second-nature to Mahtani, who worked for years in IT for high-end customers who needed secure resources. Consequently, Runner ranks professional athletes and C-suite executives among its list of clients. Depending on users’ preferences, staff members make deliveries while they’re VINCE MAHTANI home (after the Runner office manager calls with a heads up) or away, leaving packages at the back door or in the house. “Interactions are quick,” Mahtani says. “We’re here to be under the radar.” There are only two tasks Mahtani’s staff won’t do: “We will not transport kids or illegal substances,” he says. “Everything else is fair game.”

SCENES FROM

THE CURTIS CUP

fter three days of dominant play, a team of eight American women recaptured the Curtis Cup June 8 on the storied grounds of the St. Louis Country Club. It was the city’s first time hosting the match, which is played every two years on alternating sides of the Atlantic and pits the best American women amateur golfers against their British and Irish counterparts. “It met and exceeded all of our expectations,” says Bill Sedgwick, 2014 Curtis Cup Match Chairman. “It was a huge hit.” St. Louis Country Club was asked to run the 2014 match three years ago, when Sedgwick was club president. “The membership really jumped behind it and were united in our enthusiasm to do this,” he says. “It’s women’s international amateur golf, and that combination is unique.” This year’s American team skewed young, with women ages 18 to 21 who play for universities across the country, and Sedgwick reports the golfers delighted members and spectators alike. “The young ladies on the team were so charming and personable and accessible,” he says. For American team captain Ellen Port, a St. Louisan and two-time former Curtis Cup player, the weekend had special significance. “It was definitely an incredible experience to have an event of this magnitude in my hometown,” she says. “It’s the icing on the cake to get the victory.” Port, a six-time USGA champion and golf coach at John Burroughs, appreciated the enthusiastic crowd that turned out to watch and thinks viewers were treated to an impressive athletic display. “Amateur golf is really different from professional golf, but the caliber is excellent,” Port says. “I was thrilled with the community involvement.” — Rebecca Koenig

I D❤! JEANNE HOSLER & TIMOTHY KAUFMANN] by stephanie zeilenga | photos by jon koch photography

11 | 30 | 2013

JEANNE HOSLER, GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE LATE LEE LIBERMAN of Emerson Electric, wed New Jersey-born Timothy Kaufmann in an elegant, late autumn ceremony and reception at Westwood Country Club. A mutual love of theater drew the pair together in 2010. During a waitressing shift at a D.C. restaurant, Jeanne noticed a customer—Tim—using a ticket stub from a show by theatrical team Gilbert and Sullivan as a bookmark. “At the time, I was cast in a play by Gilbert and Sullivan,” Jeanne says. “I said we might be the only two in the city under the age of 60 who knows who that is.” Three years later, Tim asked Jeanne to marry him at the end of a scavenger hunt revolving around D.C. spots that had significance to their relationship. “The final location was the Library of Congress, where he proposed at sunset,” Jeanne says. Holding the wedding and reception at Westwood Country Club was an easy choice for Jeanne. “My brother and I are fourth-generation members,” she says. “It’s the same place my parents and my maternal grandmother got married.” The club’s naturally stunning atmosphere meant little enhancement was needed. Strings of lights were hung from the rafters to look like icicles, and the wedding colors—cobalt blue, light purple, silver and white—popped against the club’s exposed wood. “We created this lovely, wintery, fairy tale vibe,” Jeanne says. Guests were treated to an elegant meal, including a signature cocktail called ‘The Perfect Pair,’ St. Germain and vodka with a pear slice on the rim. At the end of the night, everyone dined on breakfast food, including bacon tater tots and mini breakfast sandwiches. “We are breakfast aficionados and didn’t want anyone to go home hungry,” Jeanne says. The couple live in St. Louis, where Tim is a business analyst at Maritz and Jeanne is artistic coordinator at STAGES St. Louis.

COVER STORY ROOFING & EXTERIORS

SDAT

by stephanie zeilenga

]

THREE DAYS BEFORE REMAX REALTOR TOM BASLER was supposed to close on a home, a tornado swept through the area, knocking a tree into the roof and causing major water damage. He immediately called SDAT Roofing & Exteriors, a locally operated business since 1999. Two days later, the roof was repaired and the closing proceeded as planned. Saving the day is status quo for SDAT Roofing, owner Chris Dabin says. When customers call for help, they can expect quick service, beginning with a free roof inspection. Bids are usually dispatched within 24 hours, and projects completed within seven business days. Because a company owner is present at each build, customers also know they’re getting the personal attention they deserve, Dabin adds. Working closely with homeowners is as much a part of Dabin’s and co-owner Mike Thacker’s day as inspecting roofs. “We educate and inform rather than sell,” he says. “We teach homeowners about exteriors and the different products available so they clearly understand their options, and then we deliver and keep the process simple so there’s no confusion.” If a problem does arise, SDAT responds within 24 hours, he adds. The company’s reputation for quick, professional service has made it a favorite of realtors, he reports, and has helped it maintain an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. With decades of real estate experience, Dabin understands how vital quick turnaround is when racing against a closing deadline. “We know realtors need service done immediately to meet the terms of building inspection resolutions, and we can work with that timeline,” he says. Dabin also is a licensed independent insurance adjuster, making him a homeowner’s top ally. It’s not uncommon for Dabin to discover damage from severe

weather when he’s called out to inspect minor leaks. And weather-related damage is a comprehensive claim that is covered by insurance, he points out. “It’s zero fault and has no impact on a homeowner’s premiums,” he adds. “But it’s important that you get an individual who knows the materials and can distinguish between storm damage and deferred maintenance or material failure. We often identify enough damage to bring insurance in, saving the homeowner thousands of dollars.” Recently, Dabin saved realtor Jeannie Baumgartner a significant expense when he discovered storm damage on her roof. Besides using SDAT for her own home, Baumgartner also has recommended the company to clients for years. “We certainly emphasize to homeowners that the first impression is a lasting impression,” she says. “As a realtor, it’s important that my recommendations are well-received, and I’ve never had a complaint about SDAT.” To lessen its environmental footprint, SDAT recycles old shingles and hopes to one day open its own recycling plant to process materials from other construction companies. “In doing research, I discovered the immense volume of waste generated in construction,” Dabin says. “At the end of the day, we didn’t feel comfortable with all that going into the landfill.”

THE FAVORITES |

Shrimp Pakora, Lamb Tikka Masala, Kheer, Shrimp Curry, Matar Paneer

TAKING OVER THE SPACE once occupied by a coffee shop, this new Indian restaurant is in a cozy little storefront on Mehlville Avenue, one of the side streets off Delmar Boulevard south of the Loop. The founders left India’s Rasoi to strike out on their own, adding to the potpourri of ethnic spots that has the Loop rivaling Grand Avenue as a dining mecca. The menu is somewhat small for an Indian restaurant, with about five tandoori entrees, five other meat entrees, a handful of vegetarian dishes and various smaller complementary items. Do not miss the pakora starters, which here are not the usual heavily coated clumps of chickpea flour and oil. These are delicately coated whole pieces of shrimp, cheese or white-meat chicken that come out crisp, hot and non-greasy. The shrimp ($9 for six) are especially scrumptious, reminiscent of the fragrant fried coatings before fried shrimp became somewhat generic. Dipping sauces are the usual red tamarind, which here is quite spicy, and green cilantro. Mulligatawny Soup ($3) was a brimming bowlful of

lentil broth with curry spices. It had decent flavor and a bit of texture from the crushed lentils, but I found it too thin and less interesting than versions filled with vegetables and chicken. Entrees are offered by sauce name (tikka masala, korma, saagwala, etc.), then the diner specifies which meat/fish they want added. My Lamb Tikka Masala ($12.95) was excellent, especially the sauce. It was creamy and fragrant with Indian flavors like cumin, coriander, chile and many others. The lamb overall was flavorful and tender enough, and the chunks of potato added a starchy foil to the protein. Especially good was the Shrimp Curry ($12.50), a dark red sauce in the traditional blend of Indian spices without cream and with plenty of fresh ginger. The shrimp, much bigger than what you normally get, were excellent: tender and sweet. Also very good was Matar Paneer ($9.50), peas and slightly cinnamon-y Indian cheese cubes in a creamy and mild-spicy sauce. Dishes come with white basmati rice, but we also ordered a plate of Vegetable Biryani ($10), which

includes the typical vegetables found in frozen medleys: bits of broccoli, cauliflower, pea, onion, carrots and green beans, pan sauteed in ghee for extra flavor. The raita is offered free with the biryani here. This traditional yogurt sauce meant to cool the mouth while eating spicy foods is usually slightly creamy, often with slivers of carrot. But this version was very thin and unusual—tasting somewhat sour, like goat milk, and I didn’t care for it. Fish Vindalo ($12) is another dish with excellent sauce, this one spicier and redder than the tikka masala. The fish, impressively, was cod rather than the typical (and cheaper) tilapia or catfish. It came in nice-sized chunks that flaked on contact with the fork, along with potato pieces. On a second visit, however, the fish in our Korma ($12.50) did not taste as fresh. An order of Kheer ($2.75) was excellent: creamy and sweet, if somewhat small. And if you like chai ($2.50), Taj Mahal has a good one that is nicely spiced and creamy.

SOME OF THE MOST ACTIVE THEATER in town right now is at Opera Theatre of St. Louis—and sometimes opera is not only about singing. That’s especially true of Gaetano Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love. Both a bel canto opera and an opera buffa, it encourages the performers to show off their singing and acting skills. The original libretto takes place in a small Italian town in the 19th century, where country bumpkin Nemorino has fallen in love with Adina, who is several social levels above him. She’s also courted by a preening military officer who has come to town seeking recruits. As luck would have it, passing through town is a peddler of patent medicines, who sells Nemorino a love potion. Wonder of wonders, it works! OTSL artistic director James Robinson has moved the setting to a small American town in 1914, and it works like a charm. In this version, Nemorino sells ice cream from his little truck; Adina is the town librarian. Allen Moyer’s set is inspired by Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton, and the costumes (originally by the late Martin Pakledinaz) overflow with period Midwestern charm. In addition to being one of the top tenors in the world right now, Rene Barbera makes a very sweet and touching Nemorino. Susannah Biller, as Adina, matches him vocally in their rocky road to romance. Patrick Carfizzi has fine comic flair as the snake-oil salesman, and Tim Mix could not be more full of himself as the officer. As conductor, OTSL’s Music Director Stephen Lord keeps things bubbling musically. Showing in repertory, as is its custom, OTSL also gives us Mozart’s The Magic Flute, with leading Mozart expert Jane Glover conducting members of the St. Louis Symphony in the pit. On stage, a menagerie of elements overwhelms the senses in a production concepted by pop designer Isaac Mizrahi. It helps going in to know that

all the workmen wandering around and moving set pieces are there because Mizrahi has placed the performance on a movie sound stage. Sound stages, he says, are where magic happens, and The Magic Flute is all about magic. More organic to the opera is Mizrahi’s decision to add professional dancers onstage, as well as dancing animals, which I thought added to the charm. The score is infectious, and brava to coloratura soprano Claire de Sevigne’s agile cadenza, a series of short, fast notes, New this year and commissioned by Opera Theatre is 27, a reference to the address in Paris where Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas held their salons for the great artistic and literary lights of the early 20th century. Royce Vavrek’s libretto has Toklas, after Stein’s death, remembering their life together and their famous visitors. I’m afraid I found these recollections less interesting than I imagined them (see Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris), but Ricky Ian Gordon’s score is attractive and accessible. And it’s sung by two major operatic talents, the great Stephanie Blythe as Stein and Elizabeth Futral as Toklas. Also featuring great voices is Francis Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites. It has yet to open as I write, but with Christine Brewer as the Prioress and Kelly Kaduce as a troubled young nun, musically it’s bound to be thrilling. And its story of the martyrdom of a convent of nuns during the French Revolution is guaranteed to bring out the tissues.

Can’t make it to Maine this summer? Don’t worry, you can still get your lobster roll fix at PEACEMAKER LOBSTER & CRAB CO., a new venture by KEVIN NASHAN set to open in August. Its menu, inspired by “the Acadian tie between Northeastern and Louisiana cuisines,” will feature seafood boils, chowders, gumbos, pie, crab, po’boys and lobster rolls, plus a raw oyster bar. Located at 1831 Sidney St. (the old Niche location), the restaurant, which takes its name from a classic fried oyster-and-French-bread sandwich, has already garnered national attention, thanks to Nashan’s status as a James Beard Award nominee. The space will seat 130 guests.

The issues of class and gender that create such delicious 18th-century drama in Austen novels and films are compounded by race in Belle, which tells the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the daughter of a British naval officer and an enslaved black woman. Raised in the home of her great-uncle, William Murray, Lord Chief Justice of England, she challenges her contemporaries’ ideas about equality and influences Murray’s ruling on a key court case regarding slavery. Navigating the elite social scene as an heiress who happens to be half-black is a confusing endeavor for Dido. The situation baffles her family and potential suitors as well. Only her cousin, Elizabeth Murray, and her great-uncle’s law apprentice, John Davinier, seem immune to prejudice. When William Murray is tasked with ruling on the legality of a drowned slave ship’s insurance claim, John agitates for him to condemn slavery outright and pulls Dido into his campaign. Meanwhile, the two fall in love. Their romance is perhaps the movie’s weakest point; although John (Sam Reid) and Dido (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) are a perfect ideological match, their passionate words can’t mask a lack of on-screen chemistry. SHOULD YOU SEE IT? Yes. —R.K.

Here’s why. There is something called qi, or energy, that gets clogged up. Acupuncture helps your qi. I have no idea what that means, but does it really matter as long as it works? There have been a number of studies to see if acupuncture is effective on menopause-related symptoms, and the jury is out: some indicate it helps, others that it makes no difference. So, were my hot flashes mitigated through acupuncture or the placebo effect? Who knows? Who cares? Now when I discuss my hotness it will be related to my looks, and that is a good thing.

about a special design project you would like T&S to consider.

you can say about this past winter is at least you got to wear all your cute cashmere and wool sweaters. Unless, of course, you are a menopausal woman. Yes, I said it, the ‘M’ word. In our 20s we avoided the ‘M’ word so as not to scare off potential suitors. But for women of a certain age, the ‘M’ word means a totally different thing. And this one does not result in bridal showers or bachelorette parties. So let’s talk menopause. As a woman approaching her mid-50s, I am all too familiar with the unpleasant sensation of body temperature moving from ice cold to sweltering in 60 seconds or less. Not only do you feel hot, you look hot (and not in a good way). Nothing says pretty like beads of sweat on your upper lip, right? Hot flashes not your problem? Maybe it’s night sweats. Who hasn’t gone to bed in PJs only to perform a strip tease in the middle of the night? And do we need to talk about how confused your husband is when he realizes your nakedness is totally unrelated to him? So, what can you do? If your symptoms are mild to moderate, not much. Most doctors encourage you to deal with it the best you can. Watch your diet, caffeine and alcohol intake. Medication usually is reserved for those with severe symptoms. Since I fall into the first category, I was ‘just dealing with it’ until I stumbled upon an article that seemed to imply acupuncture could help with menopause. You should know that I love Western medicine. I love doctors, hospitals and pharmaceuticals. So I have always been suspect of anyone delivering medical care who is not wearing a white coat. But several years ago, a bad back and minimal relief from pain killers and physical therapy landed me in the office of licensed acupuncturist Christine Kleinschmidt, owner of Well Body Clinic in Maplewood. And much to my surprise, after a few sessions, my back felt better. I tried acupuncture again, when my migraines became more frequent and intense. And even though I still get those nasty headaches, they don’t come as often, nor are they as intense.

So off to Christine’s office I went to try to get my hot flashes under control. Christine had me stick out my tongue, felt my pulse, asked me a variety of questions and then strategically placed needles on my shins, hands and head. The needles do not hurt. Let me repeat that: the needles do not hurt. Christine then turned on some Zen-sounding music and I laid there and let the needles work their magic. I had five treatments over six weeks, and even as the temperature rises in St. Louis, I am happy to report my hot flashes have diminished.

COVER STORY WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

PHYSICIANS ]

by tony di martino FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED. This old proverb, dating back to the 16th condition, physicians could possibly save lives century, means the same now as it did then: advance warning provides an advantage. If you know about something beforehand, you can prepare for it, fix it or maybe even prevent it. Now a simple genetic test, covered by most insurance plans, reveals if you’re at risk for certain types of heart disorders. The CardioGene Set, developed at Washington University and offered through the school’s Genomics and Pathology Services (GPS), analyzes genes to find genetic alterations linked to heart rhythm or heart muscle disorders, such as arrhythmia or cardiomyopathy. “The CardioGene Set, a collaboration between the pathology/immunology and genetics department and cardiologists at Washington University, is simple and cost-effective—and it could save your life,” says GPS medical director Catherine Cottrell, Ph.D., assistant professor of pathology/immunology and genetics. “If you have a family history or other indications of these disorders, your physician can send us a blood sample for gene sequencing. In three to four weeks, we’ll send him or her a thorough report describing variants in your DNA that may contribute to disease and/or affect your response to treatment. Results can help refine diagnoses and allow cardiologists to tailor an individualized treatment and management plan for each patient.” It may also help family members of affected patients decide if they, too, want to be tested to see if they’re at risk for heart issues, she adds. A well-known condition that might be prevented via CardioGene Set testing is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the heart muscle that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest and other problems. “HCM is often the cause when young athletes suffer a sudden fatal cardiac arrest, even if they’ve never before shown any symptoms of heart problems,” Cottrell says. “With early genetic diagnosis of this

by advising their patients to avoid physical overexertion.” CardioGene Set builds on another innovative GPS test that analyzes multiple genes in tumors, enabling doctors to provide targeted cancer therapies, Cottrell explains. Prior to these tests, most genes could be examined individually for mutations. But many diseases are characterized by abnormalities in sets of genes, not single genes. “Now, the cancer and cardiac testing panels can simultaneously CATHERINE COTTRELL, PH.D. examine the several dozen genes most likely to PHOTO: WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PHYSICIANS influence treatment of a patient’s condition,” she says. “Sequencing multiple genes at once substantially increases our chances of detecting critical mutations or variants. CardioGene Set, for example, includes genes linked to eight cardiac disorders and can report on as many as 69 genes, saving money and time.” Only physicians can order the tests, she adds. What’s next? “By the end of the year, we hope to expand our test portfolio to include renal disease and a broader range of blood-based cancers,” Cottrell says. “GPS is a huge step forward in personalized, targeted, more effective treatments for patients everywhere. You can always depend on Washington University to lead the way in research and patient care.”

[ CLINICAL R&D ] :::::::::::::::::: [ HEALTH&BEAUTY ]

by mary jo blackwood, R.N., MPH

It’s reassuring to know that for whatever ails us, someone out there is doing research on it. Below, we’ve compiled a group of current studies we find interesting. Some are closer to clinical practice than others, but all hold promise for a better tomorrow..

eschew soda

Millions of Americans suffer from CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, which, even before symptoms appear, can cause the blood vessels to harden and calcify. That’s really bad news for the heart. Early research at Washington University School of Medicine has shown that restricting phosphate can reverse calcification and kidney damage. Phosphates are found in colas and other carbonated beverages, cheese and other dairy products, beans and high-protein foods. They are also used as a preservative in many processed foods. In appropriate levels, these are essential to keep our bones and teeth healthy and prevent rickets. Dr. Eduardo Slatopolsky, professor of renal disease and senior author of the research, based conclusions on rat studies. But if the findings are confirmed in people, limiting dietary phosphate early in kidney disease could help people live longer and healthier. “Phosphorus is usually not a problem because the excess is eliminated by the kidneys,” Slatopolsky says.

chemotherapy pain drink reds CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY (CIPN) is a painful, debilitating side effect of many anticancer drugs. It can cause tingling and numbness in the hands and feet, shooting pains in the limbs or extreme sensations of hot and cold. Symptoms may resolve after therapy or never go away. Saint Louis University pain researcher and professor Daniela Salvemini, Ph.D., has identified two molecules important in pain and inflammation and has uncovered a link with CIPN. Her lab discovered that the molecules play a role in the CIPN pathway. If they can block the production, action or metabolism of those molecules, they could prevent or control the pain. “We already have a drug used to treat multiple sclerosis, Gilenya, which seems to block the CIPN pathway; clinical trials will start within the next year to see how it affects the pain,” she says. “If we can give the drug for pain and it’s relieved, then we could give it with more effective doses of chemotherapy in a therapeutic cycle.”

A recent study by a University of Missouri researcher demonstrates that RESVERATROL, found in grape skins and red wine, can make tumor cells more susceptible to radiation treatment—at least in a petri dish. Dr. Michael Nicholl, surgical oncologist, studied the effect on melanoma cells, having obtained earlier, similar results with prostate cancer. He found the cells more susceptible to radiation if they were treated first with resveratrol. Says Nicholl, “Our study investigated how resveratrol and radiation inhibit the survival of melanoma cells. However, without a delivery system, it can’t be used on people yet.” They are working with nanotechnology to develop a system. To get your own healthy dose of resveratrol, he suggests a glass of Concord grape juice or red wine. He says that’s better for absorption than isolating the resveratrol in a supplement. Health benefits and disease prevention potential require only a low level in food; however, using resveratrol as a therapy would require a much higher concentration than that found in food.

games foil falls Researchers are working with game technology to collect valuable data on risk factors for falls and how they occur. Between 700,000 and 1 million people each year fall in American hospitals. Marilyn Rantz, Ph.D., R.N., is a leader on the University of Missouri research team. She says, “Since 2008, we’ve investigated ways to detect and prevent falls in older adults living in our independent senior apartments. We thought what we’ve learned regarding older people would apply to protecting hospital patients, as well.” Some of their earlier technology, like Doppler radar and sound

f 15 |

sensors, could detect a fall but not what caused it. Video cameras could record events leading up to the fall but only with enough light. When video game MOTION-CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY was released a few years ago, they gained a new tool, one that works with infrared for all lighting levels and portrays people as anonymous 3-D silhouettes to protect their privacy. The Microsoft Kinect system taps into the normal communication system for hospital staff and offers a video clip. They installed it in six rooms at University Hospital in Columbia. During the eight months of the study, there weren’t any patient falls in those rooms, but stunt actors simulated 50 falls to provide data for the algorithm. Says Rantz, “The technology is promising because it accurately identified falls and may eventually help prevent them.”

high-tech glasses

New ‘CANCER GOGGLES,’ developed at Washington University School of Medicine, help surgeons visualize cancer cells, which glow blue during an operation. Dr. Ryan Fields, a Siteman Cancer Center surgeon, says, “This is great because with these goggles, we can see stray cells and capture them, usually avoiding a second surgery.” So far they have used the goggles with 10 patients: five with breast cancer and five with melanoma. Breast surgeon Dr. Julie Margenthaler performed the first operation and says about 20 to 25 percent of breast cancer patients who have lumps removed have required a second surgery because current technology hasn’t accurately shown the extent of the disease. Tumors as small as 1 millimeter have been detected with the glasses. They were developed by a W.U. team lead by Samuel Achilefu, Ph.D., and incorporate a specialized video technology, a head-mounted display, and a molecular agent that attaches to cancer cells, making them glow when viewed.

continuous EKG

It’s simple. Doctors implant a small device about one-third the size of a AAA battery under the skin near your chest, and you go about your business. Called the REVEAL LINQ, the tiny implant was first used by cardiologists at Saint Louis University to do some difficult diagnoses. Dr. Michael Lim, co-director of the Center for Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care, explains how it works: “We might have a patient who has fainted, experienced dizziness or even had a stroke, and we want to know if it was due to abnormal heart rhythms. Older methods required them to wear a monitor that was cumbersome and only gave us 30 days of data. If the patient didn’t have an episode, it didn’t help.” The Reveal Linq is implanted and records a patient’s heart data on a daily basis, sending the information to the physician via a cell tower. It will keep recording for up to three years. “This device,” Lim says, “allows us to confirm or rule out an abnormal heart rhythm more accurately than other tests.” The need to identify an abnormal heart rhythm, especially atrial fibrillation, is important because of its relationship to stroke. The device is covered by most insurance as a diagnostic tool.

volume and autism

Autism is known for problems with memory formation, higherlevel thinking and social interaction. These may be due in part to the activity of certain brain cell receptors. The receptor in question is mGlu5, which becomes activated when it binds to the NEUROTRANSMITTER GLUTAMATE, associated with learning and memory. Current drugs decrease signaling by the mGlu5 receptor, essentially turning down the volume at which brain cells talk to each other, something that becomes exaggerated in autism. Karen O’Malley, Ph.D., is professor of neurobiology and senior investigator on a new study that sheds more light on the role of the receptors inside the cells. “When we compared how much of the receptor was on the surface of the cell and how much was inside, there was so much more inside the cell, in some cases 90 percent of the total, and we wondered if those had separate functions.” Working with brain cells in a dish, O’Malley and her colleagues demonstrated that the receptors on the cell surface sent completely different messages than the same receptors inside the cell. Previous autism studies used compounds that blocked the receptors on the surface but couldn’t get into the cells. When O’Malley used compounds that activated only the mGlu5 receptors inside the cells, she found they played a bigger role in turning down the volume of brain cell communication than the surface receptors. She says, “It’s probably important that we design a drug to block both types if we are going to have an effective treatment.”

nanotechnology for lungs The most common cancer-related death in this country is from lung cancer. When it strikes, it is more likely to spread silently into advanced stages before being detected. There is no proven screening test for it. The next best thing would be early detection at the molecular level. “The National Cancer Institute conducted a huge trial to detect nodules in the lungs of people at high risk for cancer, and 96 percent did not turn out to be lung cancer, but patients had to endure the stress and cost of a biopsy,” says Dr. Michael Wang, assistant professor of pathology and anatomical sciences at MU School of Medicine. In a new study on early detection, researchers used blood plasma samples from lung cancer patients to look for a specific MICRORNA MOLECULE that is often elevated. They put an extract of blood plasma through a nanopore, a tiny hole in a thin membrane just large enough for a single molecule to pass through. By applying a current to the nanopore, they could measure changes that occur when that specific microRNA molecule was present. The microRNA testing could increase or rule out the likelihood of cancer before a biopsy.

ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer, found in 22,000 women annually, has nonspecific symptoms, which means it’s often detected late. That leads to a five-year survival rate of only 43 percent. According to a recently published study by Washington University School of Medicine, at least one in five women with ovarian cancer has inherited genetic mutations that increase her risk, but she may not know it because there is no family history of the disease. While earlier studies focused on ovarian cancer patients with known family histories, the most recent study looked at tumors from 429 women without a family history of ovarian cancer. Using advanced GENOMIC ANALYSIS, they found 20 percent of those cancers showed inherited mutations in a gene pathway associated with inherited breast and ovarian cancer. Siteman Cancer Center researcher, Li Ding, Ph.D., was surprised. The researchers identified 222 inherited genetic variants that increase the risk of ovarian cancer, some in genes never before linked to the disease. “We need to find better ways to screen women for ovarian cancer, even without known family histories,” Ding notes.

gene therapy in cancer Tumors develop their own blood supply, and tumor blood vessels have different characteristics than normal ones. A great deal of effort has gone into targeting these abnormal blood vessels to cut off their blood supply. Unfortunately, tumors adapt, so a different approach is under study: hijacking the blood vessels. Working in mice, Drs. Jeffrey Arbeit and David Curiel have designed a VIRAL VECTOR that is attracted to abnormal blood vessels in tumors. There is some evidence that those blood vessels provide protection for certain cancer stem cells that are resistant to treatment. By using the vector to alter the epithelial cells in the inner walls of the vessels, they hope the stem cells won’t survive. “We want to turn these vessels into factories for producing molecules that alter the tumor microenvironment so it no longer nurtures the tumor,” Arbeit explains. The system they designed includes a deactivated virus carrying a section of DNA called ROBO4, known to be switched on in cells lining vessels within the tumor. When injected into the blood stream, it is attracted to the tumor vasculature, avoiding the major organs and other healthy tissue. In theory, this approach also could help other diseases with abnormal blood vessels, like Alzheimer’s, MS and heart failure.

Ask the Expert

Question: My doctor suggested an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception. Are IUDs recommended for women who have not had a baby? What side effects are there?

Answer:

Intrauterine devices are more than 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. IUDs are more effective than oral contraceptives because they don’t require taking a pill daily. The number of women using an IUD for contraception is rising, from 2.4 percent in 2002 to 8.5 percent in 2009. In the Contraceptive CHOICE Project, a birth control study of 9,256 St. Louis area women, 40 percent of women chose an IUD over all other forms of contraception when all financial barriers were removed. Continuation and satisfaction rates for the IUD group at three years of use were very high—much higher than any other method. Studies have shown IUDs to be the most popular choice of female obstetricians and gynecologists for their own personal contraception. The American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) encourages women to consider long acting forms of contraception, like IUDs.

Women who have not had children, are between pregnancies or have completed their childbearing are all good candidates for an IUD. There are currently three IUDs available in the United States, two levonorgestrel IUDs, Mirena® and Skyla®, and the copper IUD, Paragard®. The copper IUD does not contain any hormones and women will still have regular menses. The Mirena and Skyla contain levonorgestrel, a synthetic progesterone. This hormone thins the lining of the uterus over time and menstrual bleeding typically becomes much lighter. There is no estrogen in the Mirena or Skyla, and the amount of levonorgestrel absorbed into the blood is less than 10 percent the amount of a birth control pill, so risk of hormonal side effects is quite low. The Skyla is smaller and directed at women who have not had children. The placement of an IUD can cause some uterine cramping. Taking ibuprofen or naproxen prior to the procedure can help decrease this. The risk of complications related to the placement is far less than one percent.

living in Washington, D.C., for almost a decade in 2001 when they learned a Ladue home Cindy had always admired was on the market. “It belonged to Dr. Haertter, who used to be headmaster of John Burroughs, where all the kids in our family went,” Cindy Potter says. “We ended up buying it because we decided it was best for our four boys to grow up in St. Louis.” Built in 1925, the stately English manor-style home, which saw some additions in the ’90s, provided plenty of space for the Potters’ growing boys. Although nearly a century old, it has been kept in top shape, Potter says, and the family hasn’t had to do much to it, other than updating some of the bathrooms. Like most family homes, the gourmet kitchen was its heart. “It’s where everybody congregated, and I could always talk to the kids there while I was cooking,” Potter says. With large windows and French doors opening to a deck, the kitchen is filled with natural light, Potter says. “I would put my bird feeder out there and just watch the birds. You really feel like you’re outside.” A major point of pride for her is the unique dining room wallpaper. Featuring monuments of Paris and the dusty blues

1814 block-printed wall covering currently on display at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. After it was featured in Architectural Digest, Potter decided she had to have it for her dining room. “It has since been discontinued,” Potter says, and in fact she later found out she got the last printing. A much-needed oasis in a house filled with the hustle and bustle of four boys, the spacious master bedroom features a fireplace, master bath, sitting area and a small balcony perfect for peaceful mornings sipping coffee. “I always liked to open the door and go out on the balcony and look around the backyard,” Potter says. The home’s 3 acres, including pool and patio, provided an ideal place for the family to spend hot summer afternoons. “Of course, the kids loved the pool,” Potter says. “We would have barbecues, and a few big parties. The kids entertained a lot, too.” Now that their children are grown and out of the house, Potter says it’s time to downsize. “I’m sorry to leave it, but there are only two of us roaming around now,” she says.

“

The law’s loss is real estate’s gain. Lisa Coulter was finishing her law degree at Washington University when she had the first of her four children. “I was a stay-at-home mom for a few years, and when I decided to go back to work, I figured real estate might be more flexible than a legal career,” she recalls. She has been at Janet McAfee more than 25 years, and she and partner Linda Benoist are consistently named among the firm’s top producers. Coulter and her husband live in Ladue.

THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP

PHOTO: BILL BARRETT

9255 Clayton Road | Ladue

Linda Benoist and I, both Mary Institute grads, began our partnership in 2000. We started by covering for each other when one of us was out of town. We really enjoyed working together, so we decided to make it official. STRENGTHS We both love meeting new people and making connections. Linda’s strong point is social interaction and her ability to relate well to all ages. I’m very detail-oriented and love negotiating deals. We make a great team! FIRST SALE My first sale on my own was a gorgeous house on Moydalgan Road in Ladue. I was so excited! BIGGEST SALE Linda and I represented both the buyer and seller of a beautiful house on a fabulous lot. It wasn’t on the market, but we knew the seller was considering moving and we knew our buyer would love it. The property sold for $3.5 million—a $7 million deal for us. THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY I love finding the perfect house for a buyer, LISA COULTER, LINDA BENOIST selling a house quickly, putting together a successful deal and making long-term connections with clients. But my least favorite part of the job is negotiating the building inspections. RECESSION BLUES That was a difficult time, with many wonderful listings that just weren’t selling. Our strategy was to take things one issue at a time, and to find creative ways to set our properties apart from the rest. MOVIN’ ON UP The market is definitely on the upswing. We’re even seeing multiple contracts again! CAREER ADVICE This is a great job. But if you’re thinking of getting your license, be prepared to work long hours for little pay until you get established. Learn the market, and go to lots of open houses so you can familiarize yourself with different neighborhoods. Hold open houses for other agents so you can meet potential buyers. STRESS-BUSTER: I love to take Bailey, my lab, out for a walk. LOVE STORY Even after all these years, I’m still excited about every deal, and I love coming into the office.

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

We purchased an older ranch on an acre lot with lovely updates on the interior, but it also needs an exterior renovation. We would love to see some elevation changes, higher windows and better street presence. Any tip(s) would be appreciated. ———ENHANCE OUR RANCH

ENHANCE OUR RANCH,

AFTER

BEFORE

Your home has many assets. With its ample yard, brick façade and rambling plan, it can claim many of the assets of a handsome home. To me, its main weakness is at the center of the composition, so that’s where I would like to focus. Your note mentions the possibility of raising the height of the windows, which I think would be very helpful in the main central gable. Doing this allows me to align the gable ridge with the center of the new, taller box bay window, giving the composition its much-needed dominant element. The adjacent entry porch receives a new arched opening and larger column to increase its prominence. A new drive court helps connect the house to the landscape. The existing black window frames and shutters give the façade a sophisticated look that I think is improved by painting the white trim a slate green color. Final changes include removing the flagpole and creating a more continuous flow of foundation planting to tie the composition together. Now, your already-nice house has a more complete and pulled-together look. Hope this is useful, ———HOMEWORK HOMEWORK IS PENNED BY PAUL DOERNER, PRESIDENT, THE LAWRENCE GROUP.
