[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] I can’t think of an elder issue that gets people more riled than ‘dementia.’ Specifically the idea of getting it—one of the topics in this issue’s Life After 60 section. I have friends who have said to me, I tell my kids that if I lose my mind, they should just lock me up and throw away the key. Really? Is that what they did when their parent(s) declined to the point of remembering almost nothing?

Without meaning to trivialize anyone’s experiences with dementia, I wonder if we just need to be more accepting of it as one possible progression of aging. I’ve watched both my mother and my mother-in-law go through it; they were not particularly unhappy, and they surely were not in pain. In fact, the irony of mind loss is that, unlike with physical disease, its victims are not even aware they are ill.

Conversely, after many years of nursing home visits, I’ve seen families visibly distressed by dementia. Children, spouses and grandchildren end up mourning the ‘loss’ of their impaired relative for years, even though the afflicted become almost childlike in their contentment and totally unaware of whatever tragedies they may have outlived. The horrors of war, devastating illness, even the death of a child—all forgotten.

“ on the wagon”

Anyone who has ever been on the wagon knows it can be a long, thirsty trip.

But how did abstaining from alcohol come to be equated with a wagon ride? The phrase ‘on the wagon’ was coined in the U.S. in the late 19th century, the heyday of temperance organizations such as the Anti-Saloon League and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. These organizations encouraged men to sign a pledge to stop drinking. At the time, horse-drawn water wagons that dampened unpaved roads during dry weather were a common sight throughout the country.

One of the first print references to associate these vehicles with the struggle to remain sober was Alice Caldwell Hegan’s 1901 novel Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch: “I wanted to git him some whisky, but he shuck his head. ‘I’m on the watercart.’” ‘Cart’ had changed to ‘wagon’ a few years later in Bert Leston Taylor’s 1906 book Extra Dry: “It is better to have been on and off the Wagon than never to have been on at all.”

COVER STORY FRIENDS OF

BIRTHRIGHT] by tony di martino

THEY SAY LIFE NEVER SENDS YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE, but Sarah wasn’t so sure. She’d just lost her job, her boyfriend had walked out on her—and she found out she was pregnant. “I was 40 years old, with two grown children,” she says. “Everything was going wrong. My parents were disgusted with me. I couldn’t have this baby. I honestly didn’t think I could manage it, financially or emotionally.” Driving down the street, she saw a Birthright office.

Assuming it was a clinic where she could terminate her pregnancy, she walked in without an appointment. “As soon as I got there, I knew I was in the wrong place,” she recalls. “I almost walked out, but the counselor was so understanding. We talked for hours. I started thinking, ‘Maybe I can do this, after all.’”

Birthright Counseling, established in 1971, provides ongoing support and practical assistance throughout pregnancy to women of all ages and economic circumstances. “We want women faced with an unintended pregnancy to know they have options other than termination,” says executive director Maureen Zink. “Our counselors listen to their stories and empower them to tap into their strengths. At a time when they’re facing many pressures, we help them make calm, fully informed decisions. We provide whatever they need to deliver and care for their baby, either directly or through referrals to community agencies.”

Approximately 3,000 women each year receive services at Birthright Counseling’s four locations.

More than 90 percent choose life for their babies, Zink notes. Free, confidential services include pregnancy testing, professional counseling from master’s-level counselors and social workers, referrals to medical care and other resources, and prenatal and parenting education. Assistance also can include scholarship support for schooling as well as career and life-skills training. Support continues as long as the mother needs it.

The agency relies on donations from individuals, foundations and corporations to keep its doors open. The annual A Night for Life Gala, benefiting Birthright’s counseling services, takes place Sept.

5 at The Muny. “Up to 40 percent of our annual operating budget is generated by activities hosted

by Friends of Birthright, and the gala is our major fundraiser,” Zink explains. The event is chaired by Michele Forshaw and co-chaired by Janine DiMarco; Rick Forshaw serves as fundraising chair.

Sarah met with her counselor every couple of weeks throughout her pregnancy. Today, she has a healthy, beloved baby boy. A scholarship from Birthright enabled her to get certification for a job in her chosen field. “Birthright empowered me to build a meaningful future for myself and my child,” she says. “I’m so glad I walked through that door—and glad I stayed and talked to the counselor.

She helped me see I wasn’t alone, that I had options. I guess I didn’t walk into the wrong place, after all.”

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

She’s got the fresh face of Nashville yesterdays, a fine singing voice, and … a ukulele? It’s a Gibson Les Paul, to be sure, so maybe it’s just a really good, but itty-bitty, guitar. It all works marvelously. Madison Applegate, 16, sent a video performance of her song ‘Thoughts of You’ to a nationally syndicated morning radio show in hopes of winning a songwriting contest, The Big Break. Her song has emotional heft. Her performance is honest and unfettered. She made it to the group of eight and was up early one morning pacing her room at home in Ballwin when she got a call alerting her that she’d made the final four. Just from the demo, I hear a single … which, with a video, was her grand prize because … she won! This talented young lady richly deserves the acclaim. Her charming demo—the camera starts tilting to the side at the end—is way better than much of the formulaic pabulum that makes it on the air nowadays at most any click on the dial. Proceeds from the song, released June 30 on Amazon and iTunes, benefit Kidd’s Kids, named for Kidd Kraddick, host of the syndicated show.

Ms. Applegate really did a fine job, and we wish her well.

The mayor of Chesterfield is Bob Nation. With a surname like that, it might make sense, kind of, for the city to secede and join St. Charles County.

But let’s not any of us fix bayonets just yet. As chief executive of one of St. Louis County’s largest ‘tax-pooling’ cities, Nation and his predecessors have long held that Chesterfield pays more than its fair share into the county pool. The 30-plus ‘point-of-sale’ cities get to keep the sales tax they generate. Now with cash registers ringing merrily at two outlet malls, Chesterfield Mall and all over this big burg of 47,684, a dichotomy that has existed since the sales-tax formula was rejiggered in the early 1990s is becoming egregious, city officials maintain. In a recent report to the city council, hizzoner again brought up the concept of joining St. Charles County.

OF THE

Maybe he realized that sounds a little silly, because the rhetoric had softened somewhat by a later Business Journal article. But something needs to be done, Nation maintains. Maybe the city could become independent of the county, like the City of St. Louis did in the 1870s … well, unless they merge (again). Or, we could welcome a brand-new Chesterfield County to the Show-Me State. Perhaps most likely, the city of Chesterfield could sue the county over the constitutionality of its tax-allocation structure. Founded just yesterday (1988), Chesterfield has a sales-tax generator running full tilt in the valley, first with an expanding Chesterfield Commons and now the malls … and hotels, and restaurants.

Ouch: Sometimes growing pains hurt most right around the back hip pocket.

Another sprout in the sproutland! Bio Research and Development Growth Park … aka ‘Bridge’ Park … has scored a modest-sized German research firm to locate there, in the Danforth Plant Science Center in Creve Coeur. The company, with a name only

CREVE COUER

a scientist could love, KWS SAAT AG, has said it will begin this year to adapt existing lab space at the park and build a new greenhouse. A portion of the deal comes by way of incentives, but for any who think there’s no quid pro quo with tax abatement or incentives, think again: The company has to generate good jobs; in this case, 75 within 10 years, to receive $1.75 million in incentives from the state. Company officials say KWS passed over bioscience hotbeds such as Boston, the S.F. Bay Area and North Carolina’s Research Triangle for the incentives here. Of course, the existing infrastructure and a high concentration of plant-science experts at Washington U., the Botanical Garden, Monsanto, etc., didn’t hurt, either.

Bubba, his unfortunate nickname, was rebuked by his passenger for texting while driving. But no, said Bubba. He was sending an email … whereupon he added that he normally performs such tasks while driving with his knees. True story.

Anyhow, our beloved Missouri, a red

state if ever there was one, is among six where texting while driving is still legal.

But one of its wealthiest, progressive (some would say) communities has decided to take the matter into its own hands, with the city council last month proposing a $1,000 fine for anyone convicted of texting while behind the wheel. (The measure, which passed its first reading unanimously, was to have its final vote after this edition of the magazine had already gone to press.)

Florissant, Manchester and St. John already have similar ordinances. At present, state law prohibits only young drivers from texting behind the wheel.

Wonder how that’s working for us. Might as well cut off their oxygen. One last thought: Perhaps the red-light cameras that are becoming unemployed here and there throughout the region could be strategically redirected to catch drivers in the act of texting. (“Why, officer,” says Bubba, “I wasn’t texting. I was reading my Kindle.”)

Since the state took over the financially strapped (read, bankrupt) Normandy School District, which means ‘officially’ that it is unaccredited no longer, most districts that accepted students are sending them back. To be sure, a lot of this is purely a numbers game: Three districts—Francis Howell, Ferguson-Florissant and U. City—took nearly 600 of the displaced students for the 2013-14 school year. They will resume their studies at what is now referred to as Normandy Schools Collaborative.

Ladue took in 30, and the district says they’ll stay because continuity for the kids is more important than relatively modest financial considerations. Kudos to the Ladue School Board, as well as to its peers at Parkway, which will keep its 33 transfers, and Maplewood, which will keep its 10. Anybody who’s had to change schools for whatever reason—divorce, company transfer, military orders—may remember it as insult added to injury.

At this writing, Clayton hadn’t decided whether the 19 who transferred there may stay another year. Same goes for the four who went to Rockwood. Don’t touch that dial.

TOWN TALK

Well, this just about takes the (stale) cake.

A man who claims to dumpster-dive in an effort to feed the homeless has sued a Maplewood police officer for what the suit terms excessive force. Seems the fellow was in a dumpster behind the Deer Creek shopping plaza at about 1 a.m. of a February morning when he was arrested … the dead of winter? OK, discarded food must keep longer when it’s cold. The suit claims the man required stitches on his chin and suffered a sprained wrist and cracked ribs during the arrest. The federal filing not only targets the officer, but seeks unspecified financial damages from the city for allegedly failing to train its officers properly. Wow … the whole nine.

For any of those worried whether The Esquire was going to survive, the prognosis for the venerable movie theater is good: It’s coming back better

than ever, if not bigger. Wider seats and other amenities mean capacity of the Richmond Heights theater will be reduced somewhat, but a full-service bar and more concession options are on the expansion menu—plus, reclining seats.

As anyone who’s fallen asleep to a boring movie can tell you, there’s nothing like dozing off in a recliner. Some say the enhanced services offered at some theaters sully the experience for those who actually came for the show, not to snarf, slurp and smooch, and that too many distractions take away from the main attraction. This is certainly not the case at the Moolah Theatre in Midtown, which is kind of like relaxing in a huge living room with scores of friends, most of whom you’ve never met. On the way out, come September, Esquire-goers will be able to tell you whether their reviews of the new space are positive or negative.

AMC says ticket prices ‘should’ remain the same. (Meanwhile, will somebody get an usher to wake up that guy snoring loudly in the recliner?)

Newly named Kitun Park, the city park at 12343 Eddie & Park Road, boasts a new feature: a dog park where mutts and purebreds will have 2 acres of fenced-in, grassy space to run off-leash.

(Kitun? Isn’t anyone worried about that cats-and-dogs thing? Of course not: Kitun was the last name of Alex Kitun, the first mayor of Sunset Hills, 1958 to 1965.) The ribbon-cutting to celebrate the naming of the park was held the last weekend in June, and the dog park opened for canines and their two-legged friends on July 3. Drinking fountains at two levels—higher for homo sapiens, lower for canis lupus familiaris—will be available for thirst-quenching.

Vaccinations for dogs must be up-to-date, and an additional $40 tag is required for dogs belonging to residents of Sunset Hills and Crestwood who wish to use the dog park. Non-residents can get a tag for $55.

The Jazz St. Louis All-Stars, students from Jazz St. Louis’ middle and high school music training program, recently performed at the annual TWIN CITIES JAZZ FESTIVAL IN ST. PAUL, MINN. Now in its 16th year, the festival is one of the largest events in the upper Midwest, attracting more than 30,000 visitors each year. Grammy Award-winning vocalist Dianne Reeves and famed saxophonist Branford Marsalis also performed. The Jazz St. Louis All-Stars consists of (from left) Eric Grumke of Webster Groves High School, Eric Zhang of Marquette, Calahan Hemp of Lindbergh (who couldn’t make the trip), Nathan Pence of Bishop DuBourg, Carlin Black of Fort Zumwalt West, Benjamin Steger of Webster Groves, and Zach Arias of Maplewood Richmond Heights.

Stages St. Louis recently celebrated a major milestone, the 100th

performance of Always...Patsy Cline. The

record-breaking production, based on the true story of country music legend Cline and her friendship with Texas housewife Louise Seger, features 27 of Cline’s timeless hits, including Crazy, Walkin’ After Midnight, and Sweet Dreams. “We’ve never seen anything quite like it: It recouped all costs in its first month, and audiences stop the show night after night with thunderous applause,” says producer Jack Lane of Stages. Starring Jacqueline Petroccia, Zoe Vonder Haar and the Bodacious Bobcats, the production has been extended through Aug. 31 at the Playhouse at Westport Plaza.

She’s a mom, an endurance athlete, an inspirational speaker and a cancer survivor—and now, she’s an author. While undergoing treatment for Stage 4 colon cancer, Teri Griege of Creve Coeur trained for the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii—and crossed the finish line against all odds.

The former nurse tells her inspiring story in Powered by Hope, now available through Two Harbors Press.

by stephanie zeilenga ABOUT THE CLUB A quarter-century ago, four friends, all avid readers with no outlet to discuss their beloved books, formed a club. Each brought an acquaintance, and today the group is still going strong. “We’ve become good friends, so that’s been a real advantage,” member Brenda Baron says. “We were laughing together a few nights ago when we realized we’ve each stayed married to the same person for more than 40 years.”

The women mostly hail from Olivette, Creve Coeur and Chesterfield and always allow half an hour of gossip and catch-up before digging into the book. Often they choose titles related to their own lives, Baron says.

Discussion is free-form; some members come with prepared questions, while others offer insights based on their professions.

“We have a therapist in our group who will always let us know about any issues related to the book, and we also have several teachers who offer insights about education,” Baron says.

“Sometimes I don’t see the value in the book until I hear what other people have to say about it. Book club forces me out of my routine, and that’s a good thing.”

ABOUT THE BOOK Graeme Simsion’s The Rosie Project is a romantic comedy about charming yet socially awkward genetics professor Don Tillman and his quest to find love. A man dedicated to the scientific approach, Don designs the Wife Project—a long survey to filter out women with undesirable attributes. Rosie, a barmaid, is immediately disqualified, but Don becomes involved in her quest to find her biological father.

>> “According to Professor Don Tillman, the best way to reach your goal is to set up a project

and map every step. That will help him find a wife, find Rosie’s father and learn a new career, like bartending. Rosie’s Project takes you along on these fun rides.”

— LESLIE WALDBAUM

>> “Before it was a novel, Graeme Simsion wrote The Rosie Project as a screenplay. The eccentric Don Tillman decides to find a wife at the age of 39. He begins his quest with a questionnaire and learns, along the way, that what you want is not always what you need.”

DR. MARCUS E. RAICHLE One great science class set Dr. Marcus E. Raichle on a research path that revolutionized cognitive neuroscience.

“I didn’t go to university to be a doctor; I went there to be a lawyer,” recalls Raichle, now a Washington University professor. Needing to fulfill a science requirement, he signed up for a zoology class taught by Dixy Lee Ray, the future governor of Washington state, where Raichle attended college. “It absolutely captured my imagination,” he says. That semester changed his course—and ultimately the trajectory of brain research.

After taking a fifth undergraduate year to catch up on chemistry and biology classes, Raichle started medical school at the University of Washington, then followed his mentor, neurologist Dr. Fred Plum, to Cornell University’s medical school. “I had a research bug, and Dr. Plum was interested in the brain, blood flow and metabolism, and that really captured my imagination as well,” Raichle says.

Raichle served in the Air Force, then in 1971 joined the radiology department at WUSTL, where an interdisciplinary team of scientists was working to measure oxygen

If you have a Ted Drewes concrete named for you, it’s safe to assume you’re a big deal in these parts. Charlie Brennan, KMOX radio personality of 25 years and host of Donnybrook, earned that distinction earlier this year when the beloved custard stand released Brennan’s Blend, a mixture of “Abaco mocha” and hazelnut topped with caramel. It’s a fitting tribute to a man whose career has added plenty of flavor to the St. Louis airwaves and beyond.

The Cleveland native got his start in broadcasting by volunteering for the Boston College radio station, then he worked in Boston before applying for a position with KMOX in 1988. When Brennan arrived, he wasn’t impressed. “I first thought the city was boring, really dullsville,” he remembers. “There was nobody downtown. I lived in the Mansion House Apartments for a while, and they didn’t even put the Post-Dispatch in the box there.”

His opinion changed as St. Louis developed and diversified and his understanding of the city deepened. “Now there are young people in downtown St. Louis where there never were,” he says. “I’m amazed to see the 20-something women who live down there—they sure weren’t when I lived there; I know, because I was looking for them!” Brennan cites the development in St. Charles and the installation of Metrolink as other significant changes he’s witnessed.

“When I moved here, the city had never had a black mayor or county executive or fire chief, and I’ve seen all that since I’ve been here,” he says. “I think we’re making a lot of progress in a lot of good ways.”

Brennan has led a number of campaigns to improve the region, ranging from beautifying highways to restoring medical benefits for the blind. He cites fundraising for the Loop’s Chuck Berry statue in 2011 as one of his favorite efforts.

“We raised the money during the worst recession since the Depression,” Brennan says. “There were a few causes that were more important than a statue of a rock star, but … I thought it was important for St. Louis to embrace this native son.”

Retaining young talent that graduates from the city’s universities is on Brennan’s wish list for St. Louis, as is expanding appreciation for the area’s history. To that end, last year he published Amazing St. Louis: 250 Years of Great Tales and Curiosities. “I’m finding a lot of St. Louisans are unfamiliar with the great achievements of St. Louis history,” he says. “If they knew, they’d feel more proud about the area in which they live ... and they’d be inspired to accomplish great things.”

consumption in the human brain. “I was an appointment in neurology, but my lab was in radiology, and I was surrounded by computer scientists and chemists,” he says.

Within 18 months, scientists in England invented the CT scanner, which uses X-ray technology to create pictures of living people’s brains. The possibility of seeing even more was tantalizing, Raichle says: “Maybe we could map how the brain was working.” The WUSTL team set to work trying to improve the process, and Raichle’s research contributed to the development of positron emission technology (PET), now essential to oncologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists. “Right outside of my office, they created the PET scanner,” Raichle says.

“We could electronically slice up the brain without hurting anyone.”

That was just the start of Raichle’s contributions to the field. A 1988 study he and his colleagues published in Science about the brain’s metabolism and blood and oxygen use contributed significantly to the understanding

of how energy is used in the brain—which was critical to advancing brain-mapping research. Raichle then turned his attention to the brain’s ‘dark energy,’ or the cognitive activity occurring while the mind is seemingly at rest. The brain’s default mode network, a phrase Raichle coined, has important implications for memory and disease research, especially regarding Alzheimer’s. “It’s been remarkable,” Raichle says. “This whole story about the internal activity was not on anybody’s radar screen. It just became the poster child of how the brain is organized.”

Although international collaborations influence his work, Raichle appreciates the support St. Louis provides for research at WUSTL, citing philanthropists like James S. McDonnell. “Their contributions to Washington University, not just to me, are really invaluable,” he says.

“You have to build a sense of community and a value for its institutions. I think it’s a special place, actually.”

FRANKIE MUSE FREEMAN ::::::::::

::::::::::

BY STEPHANIE ZEILENGA

Signs of 97-year-old Frankie Muse Freeman’s accomplishments are everywhere in her Central West End apartment. Dozens of awards line a bookshelf, and photos of Freeman with one president after another adorn the walls.

The attorney has spent her life working tirelessly for civil rights causes. She was part of the NAACP legal brain trust involved in the 1949 Brewton v. the Board of Education of St. Louis, which challenged school segregation. And she was lead attorney in 1954’s Davis et al. v. the St. Louis Housing Authority, which made it illegal to discriminate based on race in public housing.

From 1964 to 1980, Freeman served on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, the first woman to hold the position. Her early work for the commission, including investigations of voter discrimination, contributed to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. “I just wanted to eliminate racism and discrimination, but I didn’t anticipate I’d have a presidential appointment—I just wanted to be a lawyer,” she says. “It’s part of my religion, trying to be of service and make a change.”

Born in 1916 in Virginia, Freeman’s parents instilled her with a strong sense of pride and civic duty. “They taught me never to acquiesce in discrimination,” she says. “Instead of riding the bus, we’d walk. As Christians, we also were taught not to break the law, so instead I wanted to work to change the law.”

After graduating second in her law class from Washington, D.C.’s, Howard University in 1947, Freeman moved to St. Louis to be near her husband Shelby’s family. The two met in New York after the University of Missouri, rather than admit Shelby, paid his way to attend a teacher’s college, a common practice among Southern schools at the time. “I met him at a Baptist church in Harlem,” Freeman says. “Of all the evils of racial discrimination, at least I met Shelby.”

In St. Louis, unable to find work with an existing law firm, Freeman opened her own offices in the Jefferson Bank Building in 1949 and practiced law for 62 years. She published her memoir, A Song of Faith and Hope, in 2003 and was awarded the NAACP’s Springarn Medal, the organization’s highest honor, in 2011. She also has been inducted into the National Bar Association Hall of Fame and the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame.

Rather than rest on her laurels, Freeman still strives for change. “It’s my passion and my life,” she says. “There’s still work to be done, and one of the things I can still do is encourage people. Everybody has an individual responsibility to be a good citizen and do their best to be of service.”

JOE EDWARDS::::::::::

BY STEPHANIE ZEILENGA

PHOTO: BILL BARRETT

Colorful neon lights up the night on the Delmar Loop. People stroll the sidewalks, popping into shops, enjoying a meal or a drink outside, or perhaps heading to a bowling game or movie. Now one of the 10 Great Streets in America, according to the American Planning Association, the Loop’s current success is largely thanks to Joe Edwards, whose blond ponytail and penchant for Hawaiian shirts make him as much a Loop icon as the stone lions guarding its west entrance.

When Edwards opened Blueberry Hill in 1972, the Loop was a crime-ridden area lined with abandoned storefronts—a far cry from its glory days as a high-fashion shopping district in the first half of the 20th century. He realized his beloved restaurant and music venue would survive only if the entire street were revitalized, and ever since he has tirelessly worked to make improvements wherever he’s seen a glimmer of opportunity.

First, he formed the Loop Special Business District, bringing community leaders together to tackle various issues. Since then he’s created the St. Louis Walk of Fame, saved the circa 1924 Tivoli Theatre, and opened The Pageant, Pin-Up Bowl and Moonrise Hotel, a AAA four-diamond hostelry.

His businesses have erased the stigma of crossing Skinker Boulevard into the city, brought a robust music scene to the area, and made sure visitors have plenty of unique, fun places in which to spend time. Presidents, musicians and movie stars have dropped in to see Edwards—photographic proof lines the walls of Blueberry Hill. “This is the way you build a liveable, walkable street,” he says. “Crime is at a 40-year low, the area is racially and economically diverse, and it’s marvelous. It’s the way America should be.”

Edwards’ transformation from passionate St. Louisan to civic leader occurred around the time he purchased and restored the Tivoli Theatre in the mid-’90s. “That’s when I changed my whole way of looking at life,” he says. “I didn’t have much money at the time, but it was worth it and taught me about how much bigger an impact I could have if I was willing to take risks.”

It’s a leadership role he’s gladly taken on, but never expected. “Not in a million years,” he says. “I never expected to own any building other than Blueberry Hill’s building.”

And there’s no sign he’s slowing down. In September, Edwards will open Peacock Loop Diner, a 24-hour establishment. For the past few years he’s also worked to revitalize the Loop’s trolley system. Funded by federal stimulus money, the track will connect The Loop to Forest Park and is expected to be completed in spring 2016.

AT FIRST, DANIELLE REUST knew Powell Kalish only as her friend’s mystery roommate. At a birthday party for a mutual acquaintance, they finally met. Sparks flew, and by the second date, Powell admitted, he knew she was the one.

This August, the native St. Louisans—she an alum of Lafayette, he of MICDS—will become husband and wife at an elegant downtown ceremony at Moulin.

Powell proposed in November 2013, just months after the couple purchased their first house. Knowing he probably wouldn’t succeed in surprising her with a big, elaborate event, he decided on something sweet and simple—a proposal at home on a Saturday morning. “I was shocked because I had just woken up, brushed my teeth and come back to bed,” Danielle says. “We were talking about looking at dogs that day, and he reached his hand under his pillow and pulled out the ring.”

Moulin was chosen in part because of how many evenings the couple has enjoyed there. Set in a building from 1876 that was part of the Schnaider’s Brewery, the venue features exposed brick and views of the Arch. “We love Lafayette Square, and we always loved the building and its ambiance,” Danielle says.

Many out-of-town family and friends are invited to the celebration. After watching Danielle and Powell exchange personalized vows, guests will enter the Moulin ballroom through a door adorned with wedding photos of the couple’s parents, grandparents and other relatives.

Although there is no theme to the evening, Danielle used a casual Great Gatsby motif for inspiration. “It’s going to be

elegant but fun, with a neutral color palette,” she says. “The bridesmaids will wear long, one-shouldered champagne dresses, and the groomsmen’s suits are black.”

The bride and groom live in Richmond Heights. Danielle is an associate designer at Brown Shoe Company, and Powell is co-owner of Crushed Red and a real estate broker with Hilliker Corporation.

[ FALL IN ST. LOUIS RECENTLY, THE FASHION GROUP year. So, what’s different? Well, as usual, INTERNATIONAL (FGI) issued its ‘Best there’s a twist to ‘what’s old is new again.’

Bets’ fall trends based on the Ready-to-Wear collections shown on the runways in Paris, Milan, London and New York. Among the top picks are: outerwear, texture, shearling, leather, knits, turtlenecks, prints, plaids, intarsia, the shopping bag, the bucket bag and booties.

You might be thinking that many of these have been on the list year after

PRINTS>> These are usually seen in the spring and summer, but for fall, they take on a whole new life. Op Art is demonstrated in the Dries Van Noten print dress. Animal prints never go away, and this season, the leopard dominated the runway. You’ll also see numbers on garments, as in Tom Ford’s 61 (his birth year). Look for a splurge of patterns that include plaids and tartans.

THE ROW

PRINGLE

DRIES VAN NOTEN

by ellen nisenson soule

KNITS>> The new element here is the 3-D printed knits. They have defied modern technology and are best demonstrated at the house of Pringle.

You’ll see intricate designs, cozy, oversized silhouettes, and knit pants.

A go-to item knit is the turtleneck, not just the basic, but with extra fabric, interesting folds, even enough to cover your head and hands.

COATS>> According to FGI (and I concur), if you could buy only one item for fall…it should be the coat. “It’s the fashion must-have of the season because it makes all existing coats look old.” The new coats come in all shapes, sizes, colors and lengths; they’re wrapped, self-belted and caped.

The lines get a little blurred, but in the end, your fashion statement will be your signature style. How are you interpreting these best bets? What will you do to incorporate these into your wardrobe?

Can you take existing pieces and re-brand them to look fresh and current?

Here are some of my favorites from this year’s list:

ALTUZARRA

WHERE]

WHAT TO WEAR…

COLOR>> A multitude of colors was seen on the runway, and the conclusion is there is no one dominant color story to tell. Green was a favorite among the designers, so you’ll see it in many shades.

Ditto for gray. There are pops of neon reminiscent of the ’60s. Don’t worry… black is back, along with neutrals, reds and autumn colors.

BALENCIAGA

FENDI

CHANEL

ACCESSORIES>> Run out and get the latest version of athletic-inspired shoes. When done working out, strut your stuff in an ankle bootie. And note, handbags have a new silhouette: the shopping bag. But you won’t be on the outs if you show up in two older faves, the bucket bag and the backpack.

COVER STORY

THE PLACE]

by rebecca koenig

YOU’VE RESEARCHED THE BEST BRANDS, test-driven dozen of models, saved enough money and even won your spouse’s approval to purchase your dream sports car. There’s just one problem: Where will you keep it? Insufficient garage space is a major obstacle for car collectors, who don’t want their prized autos exposed to the elements but who also don’t necessarily want to build an additional carport. A new concept, car condos, aims to solve the problem. “A lot of people have multiple vehicles—cars, boats, motorcycles—and their existing homes aren’t sufficient for it,” says Randy Wild, co-owner of The Place, a new car condo development in Chesterfield Valley.

The problem of storage space is one with which Wild is familiar. “My father-in-law had given me extra cars, and I have a three-car garage and had no room for them,” he says. He and co-owner Steve Stodnick noticed car condos popping up in other cities, including Chicago and Minneapolis, and believes the concept will do well in St. Louis, where until now, the only option for some collectors has been to buy larger houses with more land and more garages.

The condos at The Place will differ from traditional storage units. First, they are owned outright, not rented, and owners will have 24-7 access to their units.

Second, they are fully customizable. The units will range in size from 622 to 4,200 square feet, and owners can purchase as many units as they want. Because security is a major concern for every vehicle owner, Wild says The Place will have vigilant, high-end security monitoring.

Wild envisions the units functioning not only as storage spaces, but also as bachelor pads, of sorts. “They can be finished however the customer wants, with a mezzanine inside for extra storage, a golf simulator or a bar,” he says. “Basically, a man cave is what it can be turned into.” The units also can serve as personal showrooms.

7 Time National Award Winning Landscape Architects right here in St. Louis. We are problem solvers, solution providers and dream realizers.

Fabulous Design, Fabulous Customer Experience, Fabulous Results!

“People will be bringing friends over, tinkering on their cars and showing them off,” Wild says. “We’re planning to organize some car shows to promote The Place.” The development will feature a clubhouse to facilitate additional socializing.

Car, motorcycle and boat owners are not the only ones excited about the project, Wild reports. “We’ve gotten tons and tons of great feedback from RV and car dealers,” he says. “They have customers who want to buy more cars but they don’t have room.”

Orders for units will be accepted starting July 18. Wild anticipates groundbreaking on phase I, which will encompass 53,452 square feet, to take place in the fall, and plans for The Place to open in the spring.

THE FAVORITES |

Tomato Broth, Tonnarelli (pasta with lobster), Maltagliati (pasta with pork,) Colorado Lamb Chop

WHEN THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL here opened, we were wowed by its airy seventh-floor lobby and restaurant, seemingly suspended in the sky.

Panoramic windows and a rooftop patio contributed to the ambience, making the dining room’s name especially well-suited: Cielo (‘sky’ in Italian).

Then when hotel GM Alper Oztok, a native Turk, took the reins in 2011, he made a decision that has defined Cielo ever since: an authentic Italian restaurant should have an Italian-born chef, he reasoned. So when chef Fabrizio Schenardi was moved to the hotel’s Orlando property, Oztok wasted no time replacing him with another native Italian, Gian Nicola Colucci, who arrived here in April.

What this means is that at Cielo you can expect authentic Italian regional fare. Old country methods are evident in every dish, especially the pastas, all house-made. Tonnarelli ($25), a spaghetti variant, comes with lobster, tomato and prosecco bagna cauda, a Piedmontese sauce of garlic, olive oil and anchovy

flavored with prosecco. The large chunks of lobster meat were sweet and the homemade egg pasta divine.

Same for Maltagliati ($21), noodles with a slow-cooked and flavor-dense sauce of pulled port, wine, tomatoes, spinach and a hint of orange. This dish, from Emilia Romagna, is hearty and uses flat, wide noodles.

A starter of Tomato Soup ($6) illustrated the traditional rustica emphasis on simplicity. The thin broth was loaded with the most mundane of ingredients— spinach, cannellini beans and diced carrots—yet packed with flavor. The beans were creamy, the broth salty.

Another starter, Sea Scallops ($13), veered from the traditional, with four crustaceans mounted on slivers of fennel and apple, oyster mushrooms and a sweet-tangy vanilla bean sauce–agro-dolce, which means ‘sour-sweet.’

The flavors were strong, especially the fennel and vanilla, and infused creative energy into an omnipresent appetizer.

An entrée of Colorado Lamb Chops ($45) was superior in every way: very well-trimmed and -browned chops with Grappa demi glaze. The meat was superb in flavor,

[ food • ŏ • lō • gy ]

the sauce dense and intense with the grape flavor and sugar of the brandy. The accompanying melanzane timbale (eggplant ‘drum’) was baked with a bit of creamy cheese, and the local baby carrots provided a welcome gardenfresh foil for the fat-rich meat.

Albacore Tuna ($28) also came packed with flavor: the tart, acidic tastes of caponata, including capers, olives, peppers and marinated eggplant. The fish was clean and fresh tasting, served perfectly rare with a light sear.

A printed dolci (sweets) menu offers 10 Italian desserts, including our Chocolate Budino Cake and Neopolitan Baba, each $8. The first is a dense chocolate cake with blueberry confit and delectable apricot sorbet; the second is a brioche-like Limoncello sponge cake filled with a mix of custard and whipped cream. On the whole, I’d say desserts were not as successful as the savory dishes.

Note: The $50 and $35 tasting menus, each offering four courses, are excellent values. The portions are smaller, but they are adequate and allow you to taste more of this outstanding menu.

tip of the day]

Q. Kenny, my partner and I always hear players talk about ‘present count’ when they defend.

Can you explain this concept?

A. Present count is the accepted way to determine how many cards your partner holds in a suit that you have led. Standard carding high/low shows an even number of cards in the suit led. Low/high designates an odd number.

By using present count, especially in no trump, your partner can determine the number of cards held by declarer in the suit led

damaging and far-reaching effects of war. Set in Lodz and small Polish towns during the 1960s, the focus is on Anna, a young novitiate, and Wanda, an aunt she had never met. Before taking her final vows, Anna is sent by the Mother Superior to visit Wanda, who is the young girl’s only living relative. The two women couldn’t be more different, as Wanda is a sybarite: hard-drinking, chain-smoking and regularly bar-trolling for men. She is also an apparatchik of the Polish Communist party, an important magistrate. Wanda immediately reveals (this is not a spoiler) that Anna, nee Ida, is Jewish, the daughter of Wanda’s younger sister. The two embark together on a journey of discovery—about both self and family—and by speaking to Polish neighbors in their ancestral village, uncover the details of what happened to their loved ones. The experience turns out to be a test of faith for each of them, but in very different ways.

This is a powerful, if melancholy, film. Directed by Pawel Pawlikowski, it is shot in black and white and dominated by the bleakness of Poland in winter. It was screened at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival and has garnered widespread awards and accolades.

Help for

Fainting or Falling

COVER STORY

SLUCARE]

by tony di martino

WE’VE ALL SEEN THE COMMERCIAL where the frail senior citizen cries, “Help me! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” One out of three adults age 65 or older falls each year, and falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries. More than 21,700 older Americans die annually from injuries suffered in falls. Others endure injuries, including hip fractures and head wounds, that make it difficult to live independently.

“About one in 10 people who fall might be surprised to learn they’re actually fainting,” says cardiologist/electrophysiologist Dr. Peter Mikolajczak of SLUCare, the physicians of Saint Louis University. An assistant professor of internal medicine at SLU, Mikolajczak is part of SLUCare’s Fainting and Falling Clinic at Des Peres Hospital. The clinic was established last year by Dr. John Morley, director of the divisions of geriatric medicine and endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at SLU. Fainting, caused by decreased blood flow to the brain, occurs in older adults for a variety of reasons, Mikolajczak explains. A single fainting episode usually isn’t cause for alarm, he notes. “But repeated incidents could signal a serious underlying problem, including excessive medication, worsening vision, gait instability, exaggerated cardiovascular reflexes, cardiac arrhythmias, and dysfunction secondary to diabetes or Parkinson’s disease.”

With such a wide range of potential causes, many people end up seeing multiple doctors over a long period of time in a futile search for a diagnosis, Mikolajczak notes.

“But the Fainting and Falling Clinic provides rapid, comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for people who have experienced unexplained blackouts, dizziness or falls,” he says. “Every person attending the clinic is evaluated jointly by a geriatrician,

endocrinologist and cardiologist. Each patient undergoes a full range of ENDOCRINOLOGIST DR. DEEPASHREE GUPTA AND appropriate diagnostic CARDIOLOGIST DR. PETER MIKOLAJCZAK OF SLUCARE’S tests to determine the FAINTING AND FALLING CLINIC cause of their symptoms.”

PHOTO: SLU CARE Treatment depends on the underlying cause. “The most common cardiovascular cause of falls in the elderly is arrhythmia, resulting in slow or rapid heart rates,” Mikolajczak says. “We sometimes evaluate suspected arrhythmias by using heart monitors like the implantable loop recorder, a matchstick-sized computer injected beneath the skin. It allows us to record heart rhythm for up to three years, to see if patients are experiencing an arrhythmia when they fall.” Patients diagnosed with a dangerously slow heart rate caused by arrhythmia often benefit from a pacemaker to correct the abnormal rhythm, he adds.

Little kids fall all the time and don’t give it a second thought, but it’s different when people get older. “Blacking out and falling can result in loss of confidence, depression and a constant fear that makes seniors limit their activities,” Mikolajczak says. “So they lose mobility and physical fitness, increasing their risk of falling.

It’s demoralizing and frustrating, especially if they don’t know what’s causing it.

Often they don’t tell their loved ones about the falls, because they’re afraid they’ll be institutionalized. By offering early diagnosis and treatment, our clinic prevents subsequent injury—and helps seniors live as independently as possible.”

LIFE AFTER 60 _ __ __ __ _____ _________ by rick stoff

comedian “You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old,” according to won an George Burns. That might explain why he performed into his late 90s and gical process, Academy Award at the age of 79. Of course, aging is an inevitable biolo ss looks like. but experts agree that we have considerable control over what that proce

train the brain WHO GETS DEMENTIA?

“A small amount of brain decline is common, but I would caution not to think it is inevitable,” says Dr. Joseph H. Flaherty, professor of geriatric medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Just because average scores tend to go down with age does not mean your score has to go down, he explains.

And what, exactly, is dementia? “It is a general term that describes a group of symptoms—loss of memory, judgment, language, complex motor skills and other intellectual function—caused by the permanent damage or death of the brain’s nerve cells,” according to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. Several diseases, including Alzheimer’s, can cause dementia.

“As we develop, the brain grows. When it gets up as high as it can on the curve of life, some people might be higher on the curve than others.

Then some people decline quicker than others, and people start the decline at different times,” explains Flaherty. “We have people who make it to 100 who have not had a measurable decline.”

5

%

According to the journal Neuroepidemiology: The prevalence of dementia in the U.S. is nearly 5 percent for people in their 70s, 24.2 percent for those in their 80s and 37.4 percent for those older than 90.

BRAIN EXERCISE

While genetics play a role, the Alzheimer’s Foundation says we can maintain brain health through mental workouts. “What is good for the heart—exercise—is good for the brain,” says Darrah Strickland, coordinator of the Clare Bridge memory care program at Solana West County in Ballwin. Residents begin each day with a physical exercise session before moving on to a variety of mental and social activities.

“Learning new things and challenging your brain are two consistent messages from the studies of brain health,” SLU’s Flaherty adds.

LIFESTYLE COUNTS

It is thought that senior brain health improves with good lifestyle choices in early life: not being overweight, not smoking and not overdoing alcohol intake. “And once you become a senior, we think physical activity becomes even more important for the brain,” says Strickland. Furthermore, studies confirm that continued education is a ‘protective factor’ against later memory disease, Flaherty says. “We don’t know precisely why. It might be that higher education challenges the brain to make more neurons; it might be that people with higher education have better socioeconomic status and better lifestyle habits.”

But education is far from the only way to keep the brain fit.

“Stimulate your brain and learn new things, be engaged and curious.

Social interactions and meeting new people also are challenging,” Flaherty advises. “For people who are still challenging their brains after retirement, the downhill decline will not be as fast as if they retired and sat on the couch watching TV.” Learning to play a new musical instrument is an excellent mental workout, adds Strickland, who is a certified music therapist. Called the universal language, music speaks to people of all capacities and stimulates them. “You can take piano or guitar lessons, or just sing while you’re walking,” she says. Continually taking the brain into new territory is the key, Flaherty says. “This is my opinion—not necessarily wellproven yet—but it has to be learning something new and challenging.”

AT A GLANCE Aging is inevitable; what you do with it is up to you.

• Aerobic EXERCISE is good for both heart and mind.

Increased blood flow boosts the brain and the muscles that strengthen skeletal joints.

• Ease up on IMPACT SPORTS during middle age, when the cartilage between skeletal joints dehydrates, but keep moving, even if your back aches.

• Pay attention to ERGONOMICS in the workplace (and elsewhere).

A proper chair and sitting position will lessen stress on the spine. Stand and move often.

• Challenge the brain continually to build its capacity and slow its decline with age.

KEEP LEARNING: go back to school, meet new people, take up a foreign language, learn a new instrument.

IT’S THE BACK, STUPID! :::::::: MANAGING THE PAIN DID YOU KNOW?

MORE COMMON WITH AGE “Sometime during life, 92 percent of people will be affected by lower back pain,” says Dr. Heidi Prather, professor of orthopedic surgery at Washington University School of Medicine.

And the prevalence of back pain is greater as we age, she adds.

be up-front about the back

KEEP MOVING While wear and tear are the usual suspects, so is a lack of activity, explains chiropractor Brenda Kingen of Kingen Chiropractic Wellness Center in Brentwood. “If you keep moving, you keep the muscles around the joints strong. Most people who start to feel back pain think they should stop what they are doing, but it is better to remain active,” she says.

DESK DANGER

ON THE JOB “There is 10 times the compression on the back when sitting than in any other position,” Kingen points out. That explains why people as young as the 30s are showing up in doctors’ offices with osteoarthritis of the back. “People working at computers sit and look down all the time, and repetitive motions cause wear and tear,” Kingen says. “When you sit and lean forward, you reverse the normal curvature of the spine.”

WHY ME?

MEDS A short-term regimen of antiinflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or prescription drugs may be recommended, but, “You do not want to take these drugs long-term without the supervision of your physician,” Prather says.

ENVIRONMENT Also important to consider are workplace ergonomics, exercise and physical therapy. “That can mean an appropriate chair and getting up and down regularly during the day. We know aerobic exercise helps,” Prather says. “For 75 to 90 percent of people, back pain will resolve in three months. The recurrence rate can be high, so once their pain comes down they need to train the muscles around the hips to support the back better.”

CHIRO “A good diet and keeping the muscles strong will delay the progress of arthritis,” Kingen says. “I also suggest periodic chiropractic adjustments, since we mobilize the joints to restore flexibility, which slows the wear and tear.”

EDUCATION The goal is to educate people so they can manage their back on their own, Prather points out. “You may not eliminate all back pain, but you can reduce it to where it’s manageable and you can do all the things you want to do.”

FAMILY TREE Heredity plays a role in back pain, Prather explains, by determining the characteristics of your cartilage. “It’s the biology of how you are made,” she says.

“Some people are stiff and others are really agile.” The lumbar spine, five vertebrae between the ribs and pelvis, carries a heavy load and permits much of the body core’s movement. These vertebrae are separated by discs of flexible cartilage that cushion shocks and allow movement between bones.

TOWN&style

| JULY 9, 2014

HYDRATION As you age, time is not your spine’s friend. Into young adulthood, intervertebral discs consist of a jelly-water material.

Over time, people dehydrate and the discs wear out, Prather says.

“By the time we are in our late 50s or early 60s, less shock is absorbed by the discs, and more shock is transmitted into bone. That starts to wear out the joints and causes a cascade of other events.” Not the least among them: arthritis in the lumbar spine.

bionic seniors

LIFESTYLE COUNTS

When the Six Million Dollar Man battled the world’s villains with bionic limbs in the ’70s, little did we know most Americans over 60 would be walking around with hip/knee replacements, not to mention war vets and their mechanical appendages.

Knee injuries are, by far, the leading musculoskeletal condition reported in the U.S., according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Orthopedic surgeons replace more than 719,000 knees and 332,000 hips annually.

“I have been involved in joint replacement since the 1960s,” says Dr. Leo A. Whiteside of Missouri Bone and Joint Center and Des Peres Hospital. “When I started, we told patients their implant would last seven years. Now, I don’t want to guarantee 20 years of performance, but 30 years is possible with modest activity.”

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

Heredity, injuries and years of use take a toll on the wear surfaces separating the bones of the knees and hips.

“Arthritis is a fancy term for saying the cartilage is worn off the bone,” says Dr. Micah C. Hobbs of Orthopedic Associates.

“Before hip and knee replacements came along, patients just lived with pain and had limited function.”

Cartilage in the weight-bearing joints of children is about 3/8 of an inch thick, Whiteside explains. “But it thins as you get older and reaches equilibrium at a little less than a quarter of an inch.” When cartilage becomes too thin to separate the bone surfaces, “That’s the beginning of the arthritic degeneration of the joint,” he says. “Once you wear a joint surface, it has a very limited ability to repair itself. The cartilage cannot heal very well.”

THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS

Patients will know when pain management is no longer a sufficient treatment, Hobbs says. “We look at history, age and activity level to determine whether joint replacement is reasonable. It depends on how your symptoms affect your ability to do things you enjoy.”

The implants are typically made of cobalt chrome, sometimes titanium or zirconium. Their longevity has significantly increased due to improvements in the plastic wear surfaces and the methods that secure implants in the bone, Hobbs says.

A hip implant has a cup that fits into the hip socket and a femoral stem that is inserted into the thigh bone. The stem is topped by a ball that replaces the worn bone at the top of the femur. Knee implants replicate the joint surfaces of the original bone with stems fitted into the femur and tibia, the large bones in the upper and lower leg.

Implant costs vary, but are typically covered by insurance.

Most patients will spend two or three days in the hospital, Hobbs says, but therapy begins immediately. “Usually you will be up and walking the same day, and within three months you will have a good idea of how much range of motion to expect.”

NO PAIN, NO GAIN

Patients are told to resume most of the activities they pursued before joint pain. “You should be able to get back into things with a low risk of falling,” Hobbs says. “But I tell patients to avoid impact activities such as running and jumping.” Modest physical labor also can be possible, Whiteside adds. “But the wear rate can be faster and we have to keep a closer eye on joints exposed to that type of stress.”

He expects continued improvements in the technology.

“We’ve made many improvements, but the implants are not as good as they ought to be yet.”

ROUTINE?]

[ the routine ] WEEKLY ROUTINE | I run and bike regularly, but they say you burn more calories diving than any other physical activity. That’s because you’re not only exercising the whole time, but also generating energy to keep yourself warm.

TRAINING TECHNIQUES |Learning how much air to breathe underwater is probably the most vital technique. You can’t breathe too little, because you’ll build up carbon dioxide in the body, which hurts and you end up breathing more later. The longer you dive, the more you learn the balance between exerting yourself enough to do what you want to do underwater, but not using up too much air.

LIVING IN LANDLOCKED MISSOURI

hasn’t kept Gary Burger from experiencing world-class diving right here in his home state.

Burger, a partner at Cantor & Burger law firm, is a staff diver with West End Diving. Many weekends he leads underwater tours of Bonne Terre Mine, which produced lead ore from 1860 to 1962 and is now the largest freshwater dive resort. Burger shows divers the railroad cars, shovels, helmets, ore carts and other equipment left behind when the mine closed. “It’s a huge maze, with five levels of tunnels crisscrossing different ways,” he says.

Many St. Louisans might not realize such a rich diving opportunity exists so close to home, but the mine is world-renowned within the diving community, Burger says. “It’s really unique, and people visit from all over the country and the world.” Recently, The Travel Channel visited to film an episode for one of its shows, and in the ’80s, Jacques Cousteau filmed a TV special there.

Burger has been diving for only five years, but already he’s earned a handful of certifications,

including in the areas of stress-and-rescue, technical and cave diving. Missouri’s abundance of long, extended cave systems are what sparked Burger’s interest in cave and underground diving. “I like the beauty of the underwater ecosystems that are all over the world, and these caves are their own ecosystems,” he says. Only a handful of other spots in North America have caves similar to those in Missouri, including Mexico and northern Florida, he explains.

Although Burger has spent most of his underwater time in Bonne Terre Mine, he also has experienced dives all over the world, including in Belize, Jamaica and Turks & Caicos. He’s ventured into the underwater caves of Mexico and Florida and explored the shipwrecks off Florida’s coast.

Earlier this year, he traveled to the Northern Galapagos Islands from the main islands, an 18-hour boat ride. “It’s a cleaner station, so big fish from all over the ocean come there to be cleaned,” Burger says. “I saw eagle rays and hundreds of hammerheads and other sharks.

The ecosystem is amazing.”

Body Lift for Massive Weight Loss Body lifts are designed for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are at their ideal weight or “goal weight” and have been stable at that weight for one year. The body lift is designed to give a patient a firmer, more youthful looking body contour. It improves the shape and tone of underlying structures and also reduces the amount of fat and loose skin. The excess skin is a result of the loss of a good deal of fatty tissue. A body lift procedure can include the abdominal area extending around the sides to the lower back. Lifts can also be performed in a ply including the inner and outer or posterior thigh. It is important that you be honest with your surgeon regarding your general health status and any pre-existing conditions. Your doctor will discuss options and recommend a program of treatment. It is important to obtain the appropriate laboratory testing and adjust your medications before surgery. Smokers should stop smoking well in advance of surgery, as tobacco use increases the risk for poor healing. Patients should avoid taking aspirin and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

At the time of your surgery, you will require a general anesthetic and your doctor will measure and plan the incisions to be made and the tissue to be removed. Drains are normally used in the back and in the front to remove any accumulated blood which is a normal product of this type of surgery.

The postoperative course would involve early ambulation and removal of the drains at the appropriate time. Scars generally will heal and mature over a period of approximately six months to a year.

Risks and complications from this type of surgery would include scarring or bleeding after surgery, which may require additional operations to control, infection, fluid accumulation, skin loss, numbness, asymmetry, deep venous thrombosis and persistent swelling in the legs. There is also a possibility of surgical revisions being required.

Good candidates will have significant skin laxity in one or multiple areas and candidates also would not have significant medical conditions that could affect this type of surgery.

It is also important the patient be realistic about what this type of surgery can accomplish. The patient also should be interested in continuing a healthy lifestyle of proper nutrition and exercise.

This type of procedure can be done as an overnight stay, or, in some cases, as an outpatient procedure, depending on the doctor and patient preference.

Custom Townhomes in Clayton Gardens

COVER STORY

MICHAEL LAUREN DEVELOPMENT

by tony di martino ST. LOUIS IS KNOWN NATIONWIDE FOR ITS distinctive neighborhoods, boxed in. It feels like tree-lined streets and welcoming brick houses. “They don’t build ’em like that anymore,” some people say. But Michael Lauren Development begs to differ. The award-winning firm specializes in high-end custom homes that combine timeless elegance and refined architectural details with thoughtful design, the latest amenities and the pared-down lifestyle desired by today’s homeowner. “We work with clients to design and build homes that meet their needs and reflect the way families live now,” says founder Michael Rechan.

Among the firm’s latest projects are the North Brentwood Place Townhomes at the corner of Kingsbury and Brentwood boulevards, former site of the Clayton Masonic Lodge. “They are unique in the marketplace, an option that bridges the gap between a condo and a single-family home,” Rechan says. “They’re perfect for young, sophisticated urbanites with a child or two, or for empty-nesters who want to downsize from a large, traditional estate-type home, but still want enough space so the kids and grandkids can visit.” The two townhomes are part of the North Brentwood Place subdivision, which includes two single-family houses already sold and under construction. Both the single-family houses and the townhomes were designed by The Lawrence Group Architects.

“The challenge was to design an elegant, two-family structure that looks like a single-family home from the curb and harmonizes with the more traditional houses in the rest of the neighborhood,” says architect Paul Doerner of The Lawrence Group. “Unlike most townhomes, these aren’t narrow, cramped units. You don’t feel

a single-family home, with generous windows, plenty of privacy, and PHOTO: SAM FENTRESS an open, airy flow from room to room.” The two units share only one wall, so natural light streams in on three sides, he adds. “It’s a versatile space that adapts easily to changing needs.”

The Kingsbury unit is reserved, but the 3,934-square-foot, three-level Brentwood unit is still available for purchase at $1,575,000, Rechan notes. The main floor features an open plan with distinct living spaces, including a dining/hearth room adjacent to the designer kitchen, a light-filled office, and a gracious family/living room with French doors leading to an expansive, elevated patio. The upper level has three bedrooms and three en suite baths, including the master, and a laundry room. The lower level features a guest bedroom or office with full bath and sitting area. Each unit is equipped with its own elevator and a heated, air-conditioned two-car garage.

Location is everything, and North Brentwood Place is three blocks from the heart of Clayton, within walking distance of some of the finest restaurants and shops in town. “If you’re looking for the simplicity and convenience of a condo but still want the graciousness and distinctive architecture of a single-family home, this is the ideal environment,” Rechan says. “It’s a new spin on the old-school idea of home, sweet home—but with much less yard upkeep and maintenance.”

A Place Unwind

Eleven years ago, Rachel Nolen, a buyer specialist with the Gellman Team of Coldwell Banker Premier, moved from a two-story in Chesterfield to a converted farm property in Creve Coeur. After putting lots of labor and love into its outdoor areas, she and her family say they’ve created the perfect place to unwind. by rebecca koenig | photos by suzy gorman

T&S | What first attracted you to the home?

RN | For me, nothing at first. But my husband grew up in a small town, so for him this was better than buying a lake house we’d never visit. My mom had a farm, and my kids spent weekends there. When they saw this house, they liked it so much they said, We’ll give up having our own bathrooms; this is just like the farm! There was definitely more than one contractor who told me we bought this with our hearts, not our heads.

T&S | Did it take a lot of work to get the home in good shape?

RN | The original part of the house is probably 110 years old.

The guest house was the original barn on the property. I think the Dielmann family originally owned the house, and it was their farm property surrounding it.

The previous owner had done the addition, but there wasn’t one stone in that backyard. We did all the patios and exterior landscaping. There was a bathroom in the kitchen, so we redid the entire kitchen ourselves. We’ve done all the cosmetic

THERE WAS DEFINITELY MORE THAN ONE CONTRACTOR WHO TOLD ME WE BOUGHT THIS WITH OUR HEARTS, NOT OUR HEADS.

upgrades. I haven’t worked with any decorators or designers. It takes longer when you don’t use a designer, but you get exactly what you want.

T&S | What style were you hoping for inside the house?

RN | I wanted to go for a more comfortable, “you don’t have to take your shoes off”-type house.

T&S | It looks like you’ve maximized your 1.5 acres of land.

RN | That’s why we love our porch out there: We wanted to live both inside and outside. I rock myself to sleep there half the time. My husband and I sit out and think, This is so beautiful and so peaceful. To be able to come home and just sit there is the best thing.

Originally the pool was going to be closer to the house, but we had all these utilities running through the guest house. We decided to do different patios going down to it to make it more secluded. We just wanted to utilize all the property.

For the fireplace, my husband did a quick hand-drawn sketch, then I worked with a guy at Harlan Brick Company. I asked him, Could you build something like this? And he did.

T&S | What’s in your guest house?

RN | We don’t have a good finished basement, so that became the kids’ space. Instead of having a finished basement below ground, ours is all above ground. When my kids were younger, they really enjoyed that.

HOMEWORK]

DEAR HOMEWORK,

My husband and I purchased a home in October that we would love to give a Mediterranean feel.

We want to paint the exterior a light beige/cream color and the windows a beige or dark brown or black. We also need additional landscaping in the front and are adding parking for a few cars just off the driveway. We always love your ideas. Please help us make our new house a dream home.

———MAKE MINE MEDITERRANEAN

DEAR MAKE MINE MEDITERRANEAN,

AFTER

I’m not sure how ‘authentic’ you want your house to feel. I have chosen a minimal approach to create the essence of Mediterranean style. To begin, the symmetrical, wide overhang and shallow-roofed feel of your existing home is a great starting point. Adding the turned balusters and changing the paint color, as you suggest, go a long way toward altering the feel of the property.

Changing the window color will be difficult since most modern windows are clad with a finish baked onto a metal wrap that doesn’t hold dark paint well. I have left them white, which is also appropriate for your look. A final architectural change is the addition of two new coach lamps flanking the entry.

The most impactful changes here are achieved through landscape additions. Mediterranean design usually has a close relationship between powerful architecture and powerful landscape architecture.

In this case, I show a new symmetrical scheme that aligns two new brick piers and flower urns with the ground-floor windows. Hornbeam trees offer the vertical accent that Lombardy Poplars would provide in Italy. Boxwood hedges define a new parking court and adjacent entry court. Not only do these landscape initiatives add to the Mediterranean feel, they also help the property feel less barren and help it sit more comfortably on its generous lawn.

If expense is no object, you could add more architectural details, such as ornamental brackets or a red tile roof, to enhance its authenticity.

Hopefully this gives you some ideas you can use, ———HOMEWORK
