[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] Our Reaching Out column today focuses on a segment of the nonprofit world that is so easily forgotten: aid to the elderly. Nothing is sadder, in my mind, than seeing older people neglected and needy. Those at the end of their lives should not have to face issues like homelessness and hunger. Theirs should be an easier road, since old age brings other, more inevitable, challenges like infirmity and illness. But volunteering to spend time with the aged is never going to be as popular as rocking babies, helping sick kids or caring for rescue dogs. It’s just human nature: we gravitate toward the young, perhaps not wanting to see our future selves reflected in the wizened faces of the elderly. But helping others, even when it makes us uncomfortable (or especially then), isn’t that the heart of charity? Still vivid are the visits I made in the past looking for a placement for my own mother. Seeing the linoleum floors and bare walls of some facilities, I remember thinking what bleak homes they would make. But it’s not really about what a place looks like; it’s about having a home, and having people there who care. That’s when I realized that the elderly actually require very little in terms of creature comforts. Haven’t we all watched aging loved ones get to a point where possessions mean nothing? Yet what always has value, even well into dotage, is human contact.

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

Alexandra Zaharias, longtime director of Alexandra Ballet, won the first ever Lifetime

Achievement Award at the

recent Regional Dance America/ Mid-States Festival in Skokie, Ill. Zaharias established Alexandra School of Ballet in 1949.

Featured at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase were two award-winning documentary shorts co-produced and co-created by St. Louis-born Mary Anne Rothberg, a 1978 Clayton High graduate. Do Not Duplicate, about a New York City safecracker, and Half Sour, which focuses on a group of young skateboarders, were made by Rothberg’s New York-based production company, Provenance Productions.

Philanthropists David and Thelma Steward and the Steward Family Foundation have donated $350,000 to Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, to support diversity in casting. The gift permanently endows a position for an artist of color each season. The first Thelma Steward Endowed Artist is Frederick Ballentine, a young tenor who appeared this year in Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

Dr. Arnold D. Bullock, professor

of urologic surgery at Washington University School of Medicine, has been

named the first Alan A. and Edith L. Wolff distinguished professor of urology at WUSM. Bullock, who joined the faculty in 1993, is known for his expertise in urologic oncology, erectile dysfunction and other urologic issues. He plays an active role in educating African-American men about their higher-than-average risk of prostate cancer and the benefits of screening.

95 DECIBELS, WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY FORMER ST. LOUISAN LISA REZNIK, recently was featured at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase. The annual event, produced by Cinema St. Louis, spotlights the talents of filmmakers who live or have lived in St. Louis. The movie, based on the true story of Reznik’s daughter, Miranda Meyers, explores the emotional obstacles parents face after getting an unexpected diagnosis of impaired hearing for their child. A Parkway Central Senior High School alum (class of ’87), Reznik now lives in New Jersey with her husband and two daughters.

Fodor’s Travel has named WHITE WATER in Branson, Mo., ONE OF THE 10 BEST WATER PARKS IN THE UNITED STATES.

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

Anything that improves Manchester Road is a good thing. And the work that may have begun by the time you read this is from the top down: Resurfacing of Manchester from Hwy. 141 westward through Ballwin, Ellisville and Wildwood. “But traffic is already horrid,” we hear some of you whimper. ‘Whimper not!’ replies MoDOT. Most of the roadwork will be done at night, so lane closures will be while we sleep. The heralded Great Streets Initiative is upon us. An outlay of $5 million will yield better signage, including illumination of some street signs, better sidewalks and improved median access, along with landscaping. The lion’s share of the work is projected to cost $10 million and is earmarked for resurfacing Manchester from 141 to Westglen Farms Road in Wildwood. Yes, Virginia, we can get there from here. When? When we get there. Just imagine how long it would have taken in the stagecoach. Sure are some smart folks out yonder in Chesterfield. First it was a near national-champ speller, and now a young lady has scored a perfect 36 on the ACT college entrance exam. That’s not to say Catherine Lambert, 16, a rising senior at Marquette, has decided on a college yet … from Mizzou to the Ivy League, they’re probably lined up, pleading for her to take this or that wonderful offer. She also plays varsity golf and will edit the school newspaper, which won’t hurt her chances of landing a sweet college deal. And she is in a very special category, indeed: ACT officials say fewer than one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the test score a perfect 36. By midsummer, patrons of Saint Louis Bread Co. bakery and café in Clayton across from the Esquire will have to take their business to Richmond Heights. But, that’s not far at

OF THE

all—it’s right across Clayton Road, the border between the two communities, and a few doors west. The present location is 6701; Bread Co. is renovating the former Applebee’s Restaurant at 6734, which closed last summer and is projected to reopen in the new space this August. Fans of this particular Bread Co. location were extremely frustrated by the inadequate parking. There’s not a space to be had at lunch or breakfast, and those just running in and out for a bagel and coffee at 8 a.m. or salad at noon have had fewer than 24 spots to squeeze into, all behind the restaurant. To create three of those spaces, the parking lot guys actually painted them in along the alley (for expert parallel parkers, if any of those remain). Say what you will about lawyers chasing ambulances. This 64-year-old attorney had vehicles chasing him last summer—after the last of three bank robberies he committed in July, August and September. And he shot a state trooper, who was saved by a bulletproof vest. If it sounds like the Wild West, it sort of was, according to details released by the Feds after Warren J. Gladders pleaded guilty last week. His first holdup was of the Reliance Bank west branch in Creve Coeur, 13303 Olive Blvd.; the others were out west a ways, in Weldon Spring and Marthasville. In all three robberies Gladders displayed a gun. After this robber made off with $43,000 from the Marthasville heist, his third, he shot the cop who pulled him over. Sentencing in this doozy of a case is slated for Oct. 16 at U.S. District Court in St. Louis. Wentzville resident Gladders, also referred to as a businessman, probably will be in another, lower-paying line of work come October. What’s more, he also faces state charges for his spree, which netted him a grand total of $55,000. Just wait till he sees his legal fees! Almost before the dough started to rise on its next batch in Maplewood and it announced expansion into Kirkwood, Strange Donuts said it was planning a third location: Columbia, Mo. Makes sense for the edgy company to set up in a college town. But to grow this fast after it had taken so long to open the doors of its first shop? No matter. These aren’t your daddy’s Krispy Kremes, and they’re doughnuts that might just keep Bart Simpson out of trouble for awhile … which is good, because Maplewood and Kirkwood cops might just wander off the beat for this tasty treat. The shop has a T-shirt with the cartoon of a ‘strange’-looking officer carrying a nightstick piled with donuts. Just how strange do these doughnuts get? Well, there’s Strawberry Chovocado, a fudge cake doughnut with coco avocado

mousse, honey and berries. At any rate, wipe your mouth and refocus. The Kirkwood store is set to open in August, the Columbia store in October … around the first anniversary of the flagship Maplewood shop. This dude in St. Charles is all honked off about the parking ticket Hazelwood police issued to his mother, posthumously. She died four months before the ticket last spring, but the cops kept issuing reminders, and finally an order to appear on the charge. Her good son got his 15 minutes of fame by making it onto TV on the very day of the court’s ‘invitation’ to lament the situation. The cops were inflexible, pointing out that someone else, perhaps, could have been driving the car after the mother’s passing. Um … perhaps. The settlement amount is confidential in a sexual abuse lawsuit that has shaken the Archdiocese of St. Louis to its foundations. The settlement, announced the Monday morning (July 7) jury selection was to begin, precludes an airing of both parties’ dirty laundry… the possibility of the plaintiff’s attorneys digging into other allegations against the archdiocese and the defense unveiling some of the woman’s very personal issues. The suit held that the archdiocese transferred a priest with a known pattern of abuse to the plaintiff’s parish, and that the abuse started in the 1990s when she was a young girl and continued for four years. This same priest had pleaded guilty to molesting a boy in 1988; now defrocked, he faced other allegations in the 1970s and 1980s. The archdiocese claims the plaintiff suffers from a condition that includes a propensity for falsification and exaggeration, and that members of her own family and medical team dispute some of her claims. Perhaps it would have been a lose-lose for both sides had further details come out in court? A pig was on the loose in Webster Groves recently, and was even part of the city’s storied Independence Day parade. But the sculpture of a large piggy bank was only a little loose, said Melody Evans, its creator … a bolt on one of its four shopping-cart-style casters needed tightening afterward. The life-size piggy bank was, and is, a visible effort by the city’s Arts Commission to drum up support for new and ongoing arts projects in Webster. For one thing, says Evans, the recently opened Sculpture Garden could use some lighting so visitors can stroll after dark. Donations

would also go a long way toward the purchase of additional sculpture for the compact space. The mobile bank’s moniker is, wait for it… Art E. Pig. Get it? It took us longer than expected (well, OK, it took me longer). Art E., a veritable piglet at 100 pounds, lightweight by porcine standards, was fashioned from industrial-grade Styrofoam, wire mesh and mortar, then covered in a pink patchwork fabric. Delightfully multimedia though her porker may be, Evans points out that Art E. Pig is not representative of her oeuvre. But he’s all for the good of a very arts-centered community, and she hopes that the pink fella will raise more than awareness—also some money, like coins in a fountain. We can just visualize the pink bumper stickers: ‘Oink if you love art!’ A few weeks ago, the U. City School Board voted to send about 80 transfer students back to Normandy schools for the 2014-15 school year. Normandy, once unaccredited, is now controlled by the state, therefore ‘officially’ accredited. But now it seems that U. City school officials and parents are having a crisis of conscience, and a week ago Monday (July 7) a public meeting showed a community divided. Those pro-transfer were anxious that letting the kids stay would lower test scores overall in U. City; others said the transfer had hurt the bankrupt Normandy district by pulling away some of its best students. At any rate, the board’s transfer vote at its regular meeting had been a tie, with board member Tom Peters absent—and there was no time for public comment. Last week, the public got to speak its mind—for about two hours—at the special meeting Peters called to revisit the issue. Those who commented in favor of allowing the transfers to remain emphasized that returning them would be at cross purposes with U. City’s inclusive values. Further evaluation and another possible vote have been scheduled for 7 p.m. July 17.

COVER STORY

FRIENDS OF SLU LIVER CENTER

by tony di martino

THE SOUND OF HER DAUGHTERS ARGUING is music to Kimberly Derque’s ears. “I almost lost Kate and Abbi to a fatal genetic disease that was destroying their kidneys and liver,” recalls the Crystal City mom. But the girls’ lives were saved by Saint Louis University Liver Center physicians and surgeons. “Both Kate and Abbi have an inherited condition called autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), accompanied by congenital hepatic fibrosis, a liver disease,” says Dr. Ajay Jain of SLULC, medical director of the pediatric liver transplant program at SLU and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. “It causes cysts in the kidneys and scar tissue in the liver. The scarring impedes blood flow through the liver and results in portal hypertension, which causes abdominal swelling and a high risk of infection, gastrointestinal bleeding and the buildup of toxic chemicals in the blood.” Abbi, 15, was diagnosed at 5 months; Kate, 10, was diagnosed in utero. “Abbi had significant liver fibrosis and scarring, suffered from frequent hemorrhaging, and once required 64 units of blood and a liver stent,” Derque recalls. “By age 7, Kate’s kidney function had decreased so much that she needed dialysis four hours a day, three days a week.” Both girls endured multiple hospitalizations and procedures, including endoscopic surgery to relieve their hypertension. Abbi missed her entire eighth-grade year and has been homebound this year since Christmas; Kate always missed school on dialysis days, Derque adds. “Many patients with this condition don’t survive beyond the second decade of life, so kidney and liver transplants were essential for both girls,” Jain says. The procedures were a collaboration between SLU faculty and Cardinal Glennon’s pediatric transplant team. Kate’s 10-hour double transplant occurred last year; older sister Abbi’s procedure was last March. “Their prognosis is good—with medication and monitoring, they’ll lead normal lives,” Jain says. Staffed by top physicians and researchers, SLU Liver Center is one of the nation’s leading research facilities. It focuses on understanding liver disease, developing new technology and treatments, and applying the results to patient care. Since 2003, Friends of SLULC has raised more than $2.8 million to support the center’s work. A major fundraiser hosted by Friends, the annual Diamonds Gala, takes place Nov. 15 at The Coronado Ballroom. The theme is Carnival @ The Coronado. Major sponsors include Saint Louis University Hospital, Special Design Healthcare, Salix Pharmaceuticals, Mid-America Transplant Services and Quest Diagnostics. “Luckily, the girls’ disease was caught early,” Derque says. “This has been an amazing journey for us, especially for Kate and Abbi’s brother, Johnathan, 13, their strongest supporter. They have stood strong for each other through times no child should have to face. We’re grateful to the heroic donor families who gave our girls new life, and for the care and expertise shown by Dr. Jain and the teams at SLU Liver Center and Cardinal Glennon. We look forward to starting a new school year in the fall—complete with fully functioning parts!”

>>What brought your family here?

In celebration of St. Louis’ 250th birthday, Town & Style is compiling and sharing tales from readers about family histories in St. Louis. To share your story, email us at tellus@townandstyle.com.

The Mungenast family arrived in the 1870s from Alsace-Lorraine. My father helped found and organize the Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees), and my brother Dave, now deceased, developed his love for motorcycles and mechanics into the Mungenast car dealerships and associated businesses, which now employ 500 families in the greater metropolitan area. We grew up in St. Louis. My wife Mary went to St. Joseph’s Academy, and I graduated from Saint Louis University High School. In 1969, we left St. Louis and moved nine times for my work as a logistics executive with the Sears Corporation, while Mary pursued animal rights activism. We returned to St. Louis two decades ago to build a home in Wildwood, and then moved to Friendship Village Chesterfield.

Carl Mungenast

THE KAUFMAN FAMILY IN THE MID ’80S.

I completed my graduate studies at Northwestern University and needed a job. When a Washington University teaching position opened, I traveled to St. Louis and started teaching there in the fall of 1952. While it was the job that brought us to St. Louis, it was the people who made my wife and me want to stay. After five years at W.U., including teaching the first computer course offered there, I decided the school’s emphasis on research and publication was not a good fit. But rather than leave St. Louis, I left teaching. I had just completed a summer-long consulting job for Monsanto, so I took my career in that direction. I spent more than two decades at Monsanto. I retired early and spent the next 25 years teaching at Maryville University. We’ve lived in five different places, from the faculty apartments at W.U. to Kirkwood, Creve Coeur and Ladue, where I still live.

My grandfather and grandmother, Eddie and Eunice Clark, moved to St. Louis from Louisiana, Mo., in 1904. At the time, my mother, Mildred, was 3 years old. Eddie was a blacksmith. For a time he owned his own shop. By 1916, when he filled out his World War I draft registration card, he was working for Curtis & Company as a forger. At that time, the family EDDIE CLARK WITH WILLIAM, EUGENE AND MILDRED lived at 6421 Mount Ave. IN FRONT OF HIS SHOP AT 2760 DAVISON AVE. in Wellston, and he had to travel on two buses to get to his job. Besides his work as a forger, Eddie also sometimes tempered steel for quarry tools. My grandparents raised six children. Mary was a homemaker and demonstrated cooking on TV, William became associate professor of pharmacology at Indiana University School of Medicine, Eugene worked for Upjohn Co., and Ralph built his own pharmacy in Overland, Mo., in the mid-1940s. Their next child was Mildred, my mother. She received her teaching degree from Harris Teachers College, now Harris-Stowe State University. The youngest, Glynn Edward Clark, became a football star at Washington University. He also was a Korean War marine, retiring as a lieutenant colonel, and later becoming president of Harris-Stowe and St. Louis Community colleges. I graduated from Washington University.

Cerelle Bright Bolon

Donald J. Kaufman Sr.

In 1901, my great-grandfather, William A. Straub, opened a small grocery store in Webster Groves. Ever since, the history of my family and Straub’s has paralleled key eras in St. Louis history. From selling ice cream at the 1904 World’s Fair to expanding into growing neighborhoods, our family business is proud to have been an iconic member of the community for 113 years. My dad still works with me every day in our Clayton office, and my two oldest children, representing the fifth generation, work in our four neighborhood stores. We are most grateful to our loyal customers for their years of patronage, and we hope to continue our family tradition for another 100 years!

COVER STORY

WOMEN’S CLOSET] EXCHANGE by tony di martino

OWNERS LAURA MAURICE, SUE McCARTHY AND DIANA FORD PHOTO: BRISHEN LEE PHOTOGRAPHY

IF THERE’S ONE THING WOMEN ENJOY as much as high fashion, it’s a

bargain. But designer clothes and accessories aren’t cheap. That’s why, for more than 30 years, stylish and thrifty St. Louisans have turned to Women’s Closet Exchange, an upscale designer resale shop that offers ‘wow’ style without ‘ow’ prices. Owners Sue McCarthy and daughters Diana Ford and Laura Maurice travel the world in search of pre-owned contemporary couture. Their treasure-hunting adventures in A-list closets have even been chronicled on the Style Network’s Resale Royalty. Treating yourself to Vuitton, Chanel, Michael Kors, Coach, Tiffany and other high-end labels just got even more accessible. In addition to the flagship shop on Gravois Road and satellite stores Clique (for teens) and Purple Cow (for expectant moms and kids), the women just opened a second location. The Vault by Women’s Closet Exchange on Brentwood Boulevard has 6,000 square feet of designer clothing and accessories for a fraction of the retail price. “We completely redid the building, and Purple Cow is at the same location,” McCarthy says. “It’s gorgeous now—all white with gold accents. But even more impressive is what’s on the racks and in the cases. Shoppers are in for a treat.” The stock changes constantly, but recent steals included a $3,000-plus Chanel jacket for $500 and $300 Tory Burch tops for $40.

McCarthy says more than 15,000 sources worldwide send clothing and accessories for her consideration. “We sort through more than 1,000 pieces a day and accept only the finest merchandise,” she says. “We pay more than other resale shops, and we offer our clients the best quality and prices. That’s how we developed a reputation as one of the top designer resale shops in the country.” Most merchandise comes from individuals and top boutiques in the U.S., she adds, “but we get calls from Paris, Amsterdam—wherever there are fashionable women.” She and her daughters spend at least one week a month on the road, plundering the closets of celebs and socialites. Clients fly in from all over the world, including Australia and Dubai, McCarthy says. “Four Manhattan attorneys arrive twice a year and buy their entire wardrobes from us, paying much less than they’d spend at a ritzy department store,” she notes. “These women could well afford to shop elsewhere, but they choose us. That’s because our prices and quality are the best. Everything in our stores looks brand new and is in perfect condition. And we have a strict code of ethics, taking great care to make sure each item in our store is authentic, not a cheap knockoff.” McCarthy is thrilled her daughters share her passion for fashion. “Along with our staff, we’re a secret weapon for fashion-savvy women who want to dress like a million dollar without spending it,” she says. “We love when clients tell us, I wouldn’t shop anywhere else.”

THE CHEF |

Dave Rook

THE PRICES |

$8 to $14 starters; $18 to $44 entrees

THE FAVORITES |

Wedge Salad, Chargrilled Oysters, Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops, Blackened Ribeye

THIS OUTPOST on Chesterfield Parkway has been newly remodeled into Bishop’s Post, named for both its managing partner, Ben Bishop Jr., and Chesterfield pioneer Justus Post, who once owned this stretch of land. The makeover, from what was most recently Oceano West, is attractive, especially the mullioned windows overlooking what might just be the prettiest patio in St. Louis. Chef Dave Rook, of the well-credentialed Rook culinary family, heads the kitchen. The menu is billed as “classic comfort food,” but that’s a little misleading since many of the dishes have strong ethnic sourcing, especially Mexican and Cajun flavors. So while you will certainly find spareribs, lasagna and four kinds of steak, these frequently have unusual additions, say juaillo peppers or Szechuan chile glaze. But that’s what keeps things interesting, and while it doesn’t always work—fabulous seared jumbo scallops just

don’t need tangy salsa—when it does, it’s like fireworks for the tastebuds. As in the Blackened Ribeye ($32), 14 ounces of fat-marbled heaven generously topped with “charred green chili butter” and served au jus with juaillo smashed potatoes and buttery green beans. The meat was prime, and these flavors—chili, butter and potato— clicked well. In terms of richness, the ribeye is typical of much on the menu: food here is heavy and, well, fat-laden, hence the ‘comfort food’ label. A starter of House Smoked Bacon-wrapped Jumbo Shrimp ($14) had three massive crustaceans encased in thick-cut bacon that was lightly crisped, so the lard was very much still visible (I would have liked it crisper). The flavor was heavily smoky, in a good way, and enhanced with a pleasantly sweet and peppery Thai red chili glaze. I’d normally balk at $14 for three shrimp, but you get your money’s worth.

Same for the Char-grilled Oysters on the Half Shell ($14), six Blue Points with wonderful flavor and texture: slightly sweet and grilled-tasting with a lemony, garlicy butter glaze. The Iceberg Wedge ($8) also was superior in flavor. A vintage favorite, here it shone with very fresh lettuce, excellent blue cheese, crisp bacon, a delicious parmesan buttermilk dressing, and finely minced tomatoes and red onions. That is not to say that everything we tasted was a winner. I was less impressed with the House-Smoked Missouri Trout, $12 (a few bones and scales were in there); the Prime Rib, $32 (served rarer than ordered and too fatty); and the Ahi Tuna, $28 (which simply lacked this fish’s optimal buttery texture and flavor). Crème Brulee and Banana Cream Pie, each $8, were good. Ice creams here are from Ronnie’s, a local ice cream purveyor on Watson Road.

PHOTO LEISURE ALBUM

THE ROOKS DON’T HAVE A FAMILY BUSINESS, but they do have a family industry: restaurants. Spurred by a love for cooking—and a little healthy competition—Lou Rook Jr. and his three sons spend their days prepping ingredients and pleasing customers at three different dining establishments across town. It all started with a root beer stand. “In 1973, I was working down on the riverfront for American Car & Foundry, and I just didn’t like my job,” Lou Rook Jr. recalls. Determined to change directions, he took a big chance. “I traded a guy my house for his root beer stand. I guess you might call it desperation,” he says. The gamble paid off. “It was a pretty simple business: hamburgers, hot dogs, root beer, french fries. It was a summer operation, and we had to figure out how to put heat in it so we could get through the winter. But we had it for 12 years, and it worked out just fine.” The staff christened the stand “King Louie’s,” and it’s still a favorite spot in Wood River, Ill. Rook moved on to cook at Sunset Hills Country Club, but his dozen years at the root beer stand inspired his boys to follow his path. Lou Rook III forged ahead by studying food service and lodging management at University of Missouri, then enrolling at the Culinary Institute of America. “I thought, if I’m going to get into this business, I’m going to do it all,” says Rook III, who has helped launch the original Cardwell’s in Clayton, Grappa in the Central West End and Harry’s downtown.

The Great Flood of 1993 destroyed Rook III’s favorite hangout, Annie Gunn’s, but also created the opportunity for him to help revive it. “They were going to redo the restaurant, and [owner] Thom [Sehnert] and I met, and we’ve been together ever since,” Rook III says. When he needed a daytime chef to join his team, he knew exactly whom to call: his dad. “Lou was pretty much chasing his tail out here trying to get this place up and running,” Rook Jr. recalls. “I said, ‘If you guys are willing to pay me, I’ll come over and help you.’ He talked to the owner, who said, ‘Bring him on.’” The father and son now work together to serve up the first-class fare for which Annie Gunn’s is known. “Working with him has always been enjoyable,” Rook Jr. says. “Being a firsthand witness to his talent, the quality of food he puts out makes me very proud.” Not to be left out, Lou Rook Jr.’s other sons got into the game, too. David Rook is the executive chef at the new Bishop’s Post in Chesterfield, and Mike Rook owns a pizzeria downtown. Its name pays homage to the old root beer stand: King Louie’s Empire Pizza and Deli. “There are times everyone’s been a little competitive, which isn’t a bad thing,” Rook Jr. says. “There have probably been a few hostile feelings, like brothers will have. But we enjoy the holidays when we can all get together and cook without the pressure of business.” Rook Jr. credits his wife, Claire, for her support and patience with everyone’s demanding schedules. Turns out she understands because she’s in the business, too: She’s spent three decades working as a regional human resources manager for Denny’s.

Vienna

by dorothy weiner | photos by marc weiner

Today’s Vienna might be the home of OPEC, the United Nations and more than 100 embassies, but it pales next to its 19thcentury incarnation, the one that gave rise to the city’s famed Ringstrasse and such luminaries as Freud, Klimt and Mahler. Fortunately for us tourists, the Vienna of Freud can still be found very much intact, tucked behind the Danube Canal, where the Ringstrasse forms a perimeter around possibly the most cultured Old City in history. Once you see it, you can’t help but be amazed by the scale and splendor of the palaces and churches: they reveal an Austria very different from the tiny country of today. In 1910, Vienna was ranked the seventh largest city in the world; today, it’s the 160th. The rest of the world may have grown up around it, but Austria still occupies an enviable position as one of the wealthiest and most comfortable countries in the world. It has 4 percent unemployment and more than 1,000 hotels in Vienna alone. Yet, most visitors come to see its past, not its present. The Austria of the 18th and 19th centuries was the seat of the Hapsburg Empire, the most powerful nation in the world after Russia, and there is a reason for that. It is said the Hapsburg motto was, Why make war when you can make marriage? By marrying offspring to the heirs of other royal empires—often hostile or at least politically threatening ones—the Hapsburgs allied themselves with Spain, France, England and others, all for its greater glory. In fact, one of their most beloved rulers—Maria Theresa—had 16 children and strategically married off 15 of them for just this purpose (including the infamous Marie Antoinette). Maria Theresa’s eldest son, Franz Joseph, was the final Hapsburg emperor, ruling for 68 years, from 1848 to 1916.

And you might recall from history class that his named successor, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was the spark for WWI. (Franz Joseph’s natural heir, his son Rudolph, had earlier committed suicide.) But it was not meant to be; in 1914 Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian separatists, interrupting the Hapsburg secession and plunging Europe into war. However, signs of Franz Joseph’s long and powerful reign are all over Vienna. The Imperial Palace, the Hofburg, was the winter home of the royals. Some of its apartments can be toured, or if you’ve seen enough of gilded ceilings and inlaid floors, head for another end of the Imperial complex where the Treasury is open to visitors. There you’ll see centuries of Hapsburg crowns, swords, hunting rifles and gold-embroidered coronation wear. The Imperial Library is also fascinating, with floor-to-ceiling leather-bound books, frescoes and marble busts of famous Viennese. Built in 1730, it is one of the most important libraries in the world, with more than 8 million volumes (200,000 of them printed between 1500 and 1850) and historical objects, including ancient globes that reveal how people of the time viewed their world. The big Imperial courtyard here that connects all these royal structures, Heroes’ Square, was also the site of more insidious history: rallies by Adolph Hitler. Although Austrians voted to become part of the Third Reich (the alternative, they’ll tell you, was to be occupied), they claim to be culturally different from Germans and generally resent comparisons. One of the most recognizable symbols of the city in this predominantly Catholic country is St. Stephen’s Cathedral, situated near the palace and founded in the 12th century in what was, even then, the city center. Its Gothic spire juts up 450 feet. It was the site of Mozart’s funeral and is a masterpiece of stone and wood carvings. Nearby St. Peter’s, considered the second-oldest church site in Vienna, is a light-flooded Baroque

sanctuary with a lavish, highly ornate interior. St. Augustine, as the Imperial church, is part of the Hofburg complex and the site of royal weddings, including that of Napoleon to the Hapsburg princess Marie Louise in 1810. The Romans founded Vienna 2,000 years ago, calling it Vindobona. The term Third Reich originates from the concept that Austria has been part of three empires: the Roman, the Hapsburg, and the National Socialist (Nazi). Tourists should not miss the Imperial family’s summer home, Schonbrunn, a few miles from city center. Its magnificent Neptune fountain was built to give Empress Maria Theresa something lovely to look out on from her second-story bedroom. This palace was a favorite of hers, and her son and heir Franz Joseph was born and died here. Some of its 1,441 rooms are open for touring, and its glory extends well beyond the Hapsburg days. Napolean, who twice attacked Vienna, lived here with Marie Louise and their son, Napoleon Francois Charles Joseph, his only legitimate offspring. And when, after WWII, Austria was divided into regions, the British were headquartered in Schonbrunn. The palace also was the site of more recent history, when John F. Kennedy met Nikita Khrushchev here in 1961 to discuss Berlin, and when Jimmy Carter signed a nuclear agreement with Leonid Brezhnev 18 years later. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev signed an arms treaty here. Why Vienna? Geography—the city straddles the crossroads between Eastern and Western Europe. Since Vienna is renowned for its culture, any visit would be incomplete without attending a concert or opera, a coffeehouse and perhaps a display of equestrian prowess by the Spanish Riding School and its Lipizzaner stallions. Remember, the coffeehouse was born here, part of the fin de siècle culture, a time of remarkable intellectual and artistic innovation. Under the auspices of Vienna’s cafes,

Expressionist painters like Klimt and Schiele met, alongside Jugendstil architects and political theorists, including Vladimir Lenin. As you stroll in search of that coffeehouse, be sure to take a close look at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest public monument, Plague Column on Graben street, a 59- foot tall sculpture commissioned in 1679 by Emperor Leopold to remember the victims of the bubonic plague that year. Near the base, the figure of an old woman (symbolizing the plague) is cast out into an abyss. At the top, a golden Holy Trinity sits as a triumph of good over evil. JULY 16, 2014

BEGIN AGAIN >> Sweet, melancholy and honest, Begin Again is they conspire to cobble together an album despite a welcome antidote to the summer action-movie blahs. John Carney, the writer and director of Once, offers audiences another musical movie about love and loneliness that’s almost as good as his previous indie sensation, but without quite the same emotional punch. In Begin Again, Keira Knightley plays a British songwriter stranded in New York after her boyfriend, played by Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, gets a major record deal and ditches her in favor of fame and female fans. When she runs into a fallen record executive, played by Mark Ruffalo,

having no budget and little hope of success. Part of the film’s charm are the familiar faces doing unfamiliar things: singer Levine acts and actress Knightley sings. Ruffalo is great, as usual, playing a lovable, average guy trying to salvage his life after past mistakes. The music is not quite catchy enough to convince me that Knightley’s character will end up a star, but it’s enjoyable, as is watching each character realize his or her potential. SHOULD YOU SEE IT?

HEALTH FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN] [ SPECIAL SECTION

Washington University Cardiology

W.U. PHYSICIANS

by tony di martino HEART DISEASE WAS ONCE CONSIDERED a man’s problem, caused by edge trials and specialists in all fields, too many martinis and cigarettes and too much boardroom stress. These days, we know better. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for American women, killing nearly 500,000 each year—about twice the number of deaths caused by all types of cancer combined. Women often experience heart disease differently than men. In the past, this often led to less aggressive medical treatment for women, who sometimes were sent home from the ER during a heart attack because their symptoms differed from those seen in men. In response to these problems, and to accommodate patients who prefer female doctors, Washington University Physicians has gathered an all-women team of board-certified heart experts at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital. Cardiologist Dr. Kathryn Lindley focuses on cardiovascular complications during and following pregnancy. Lindley completed a yearlong fellowship in that area at Washington University and Emory University in Atlanta. “Women with high-risk heart conditions used to be advised against getting pregnant, but that’s rare these days,” says Lindley, assistant professor of medicine at Washington University. “Given the potential risk of complications, however, women should always get an individual risk assessment and counseling before they conceive, as well as careful management during and after pregnancy.” Carrying a child puts a huge strain on the heart, Lindley notes. “The heart pumps 50 percent more blood throughout the body, and blood volume increases by 40 percent,” she says. “A normal heart adjusts to these changes, but it’s stressful for women with arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, high blood pressure, and a history of stroke, heart attack or heart failure. So it’s important they’re cared for by an ob/gyn and a cardiologist experienced in dealing with these issues.” Cardiology team patients have access to the university’s cutting-

including maternal-fetal medicine. Other issues can develop during pregnancy, even in women with no prior history of heart problems. “Peripartum cardiomyopathy, a type of heart failure that’s probably due to hormonal changes, can develop during the last months of pregnancy or within a month or so after delivery,” Lindley explains. “If not recognized and managed, it can be life-threatening.” Washington University is partnering with other major research institutions to learn more about treating and preventing the condition, she adds. A recent patient had been told she DR. KATHRYN LINDLEY had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the heart muscle. “But when she came to us, we discovered it actually was a subaortic membrane, a ridge of tissue right below the aortic valve that narrows the valve and carries a significant risk of heart failure during delivery,” Lindley recalls. “Working with her ob/gyn, we developed a plan that included a C-section and medication to ease fluid retention. Without correct diagnosis and treatment, it could have been disastrous. But we got her through the entire pregnancy with no complications. We love sending moms home safely with healthy babies!”

by dr. tim jordan MADELEINE, 16, has struggled with anxiety for years. Presently it manifests itself as test anxiety, causing her to lose sleep, get overwhelmed with stress, have meltdowns a few times a week at home, and to suck all the joy out of learning. Madeleine is a self-described perfectionist, and she’s famous for being hard on herself. Her self-talk is awful, leaving her discouraged and drained. I asked her what she says to herself about her schoolwork. “I constantly worry that I won’t finish my work or study enough for tests, or that I’ll do bad on tests. If I find out someone got a better grade, my negative thinking goes on overdrive.” During the school year, she will stay up till the wee hours of the morning the night before a test, over-studying and over-worrying. If her grade comes back 98 percent, she chooses to focus on the 2 percent she could have earned versus the 98 percent she accomplished. And then she is immediately on to the next quiz or test, with no time for rest or celebration. Know anyone like that? If you are raising a perfectionist in your home, I have a few tools to smooth out their ride. First, I love to have these kids do a reality check: what has been their school history up until now? Many of these students have most if not all A’s on their report cards. So I try to get them to focus on the truth about themselves: when they put in a reasonable effort, they have always gotten good grades. Many report never having gotten a C and still being fixated on that one B+ they received three years ago. So when their stinkin’ thinkin’ starts to rear its ugly head, they can do a reality check and remind themselves that as long as they focus on effort and study habits, history tells them the result will be just fine. I also teach kids to bring themselves to the present moment. Anxiety and fears are always about the future; everything is just fine in the here and now. Focusing on your breathing or on your senses will bring you back to the current moment. I have them do some progressive muscle relaxation exercises as well, because that also brings them into their bodies. In this moment they have nothing to fear, and all is well. Kids who are hard on themselves need to learn to catch themselves as they start to embark on this slippery slope. If they can become aware of when the negative self-talk is kicking in, they can use some tools to redirect themselves. I teach kids to repeat positive mantras, and also to think about or journal the things they are grateful for. These are useful skills to switch their stinking thinking. Last, I coach kids to focus on the journey and not the destination, the process and not the result. If they focus on putting in a reasonable effort and use good study strategies, the result will be the result. And for these kids, history is definitely in their favor.

THE STEPS

COVERING UP TATTOOS

by marylyn simpson WHETHER IT’S MEETING YOUR FUTURE MOTHER-IN-LAW, a corporate interview or

simply regret about the permanent souvenir from your spring break in Mexico, the reasons for keeping your tattoo covered are endless. But before you start saving for laser removal, consider these five easy steps for keeping your tattoo covered, no painful lasers necessary.

STEP ONE: CLEANSE YOUR SKIN

Just like you would clean your face prior to makeup application, you’ll want to clean your tattooed skin before applying any sort of tattoo cover-up. Any body cleanser will work, just remember to dry your skin thoroughly before the next step. Water can dilute the cover-up, making it harder to conceal the tattoo.

STEP TWO: PRIME & CONCEAL

Use a liquid or cream concealer two to three shades lighter than your skin tone to begin covering the tattoo. A makeup sponge or flat-faced brush is ideal for more effectively applying the concealer. Remember to blot rather than rub the foundation on your skin, as rubbing will move the concealer around, rather than provide true coverage. Don’t worry if your tattoo is still visible.

STEP THREE: FULL-COVERAGE FOUNDATION

Now that your tattoo has been primed for coverage, it’s time to apply the main layer of foundation. Be sure to match the foundation to your skin tone perfectly. I recommend using DERMABLEND’S SMOOTH INDULGENCE FOUNDATION. It’s specifically made to cover the most intense skin imperfections, like scars and burns, and it’s made with a lightweight formula. Repeat Step Two and blot the foundation over your tattoo with the same makeup sponge or flat-faced brush for even, full coverage.

STEP FOUR: PRESSED POWDER

Similar to using finishing powders on your face, use a translucent powder over your covered tattoo. It will help set your makeup, giving it a natural, matte finish.

STEP FIVE: HAIR SPRAY TO STAY

You don’t want to end up with your hard work smudged all over your clothes, or worse, someone else. Apply a light spritz of hairspray over your tattoo to seal in your concealer and foundation. Allow a brief drying period before getting dressed.

[KNOW HE FACTS] by sara savat

Equal, yes, but there’s no arguing that men and women are different. How many men go through perimenopause or BRCA gene testing, for example? With different anatomies come different ailments and concerns; we need to understand our bodies to fully understand ourselves.

PERIMENOPAUSE A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT.

While menopause technically means the absence of a menstrual cycle for one year, the transition into menopause—perimenopause—can last much longer. “On average, perimenopause will last three to five years,” says Dr. Ashley Ryan, of Genesis OB/GYN. “Typically between 45 and 55 years old, the body decreases estrogen and progesterone production, and a woman’s cycles begin to shorten and become irregular, skipping cycles here and there. Women may also have more problems with PMS.” The length and severity of symptoms can vary widely. Ryan says some will not even notice they’re beginning to transition to menopause, while symptoms in other women will decrease their quality of life. And some women experience symptoms well into their 60s or even early 70s!

DR. JEKYLL & MS. HYDE The symptoms of

MYTH V. FACT FACT>

MYTH> FACT>

FACT>

menopause, including hot flashes and night sweats, occur when there is a dramatic drop in hormone levels, explains Dr. Teresa Knight of Women’s Health Specialists of St. Louis. “Most begin to experience these symptoms in their late 40s, often before their period. The symptoms can be especially severe for women who are put into menopause surgically, because they go rapidly from having hormones to having none,” she says. Other common symptoms include insomnia, mood change, low libido, vaginal dryness, weight gain, tender breasts and headaches. Green says symptoms tend to have a domino effect. “A decrease in estrogen can trigger anxiety and nervousness, which can lead to insomnia and moodiness,” she notes. “These hormonal changes can also lead to male-pattern weight gain in the stomach.”

STAYING SANE

“It’s important to realize that menopause is a natural process,” Knight says. “It’s amazing to me that given all the changes in longevity, diet and culture, the average age of menopause—52 years old—has been the same since the beginning of time. It’s only becoming an issue now because we’re

living so much longer.” You don’t have to suffer with menopause, both doctors say. “Natural supplements are very popular. Women like the idea of taking something that is natural, and there are a number of options,” suggests Knight. She says it’s important to note that plant-based estrogen, sometimes made from soy, is very different from human estrogen, but it works for only some women. Bioidentical hormone supplements, many of which are FDA-approved and available with a prescription, are molecularly identical to the hormones our ovaries naturally produce, says Knight. They function the same as our body’s natural estrogen, and the body cannot differentiate between them, she says. There are also supplements that can help support adrenal gland function, which is the body’s only source of female hormones after menopause. But hormone replacement therapy is not for everyone, adds Green. “There are certain risks, the main being cardiovascular health. Some studies have found hormone replacement therapy can increase a woman’s risk for heart disease and slightly increase the risk for breast cancer. The risks will increase the longer you’re on the therapy,”she says.

AFTERMATH Osteoporosis, a condition in which

bones become weak and can break easily, is a concern post-menopause, says Green, since women have been losing bone mass since age 30 and the process becomes more rapid when the body quits producing estrogen. According to the National Institute on Aging, half of American women over age 50 will probably have a bone break or fracture because of osteoporosis. Exercise, including walking and light weights, can help prevent osteoporosis, along with eating a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Another concern is heart health, says Green, since the female hormones provide some protection from heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women. And for vaginal dryness and painful intercourse, there are effective treatment options like topical estrogen, water-based lubricants and moisturizers.

YEARS BRCA

AFTER

Since Angelina Jolie went public with her preventive double mastectomy, there has been an active public dialogue about hereditary breast cancer, genetic testing and cancer prevention. Local experts agree, though, that there are still many misconceptions about genetic testing.

BUYER BEWARE The BRCA 1 and 2 genetic test is much more

complicated than a simple blood draw and should only be done by a credentialed genetics professional. SLU’s Mahon says interpreting the results can be challenging and should be left to a genetics counselor. “Anyone who has concern about hereditary risk should see a credentialed genetics professional who can sort through the issues. Is genetic testing indicated? Who is the best person to test in the family? How to interpret the results?” A list of credentialed genetics professionals is available at nsgc.org.

TESTING +/– YOU ARE A CANDIDATE FOR TESTING IF:

occurs at a much younger • Cancer • Cancer occurs in paired organs age than average, such as breast or (such as cancer in both breasts). colon cancer before age 50. occurs in more than • Cancer occurs in several close one generation. • Cancer relatives on the same side of the family. rare cancers occur in a family. • Several More one type of cancer • occursthan You are of Ashkenazi ancestry,who in the same close relative. • have significantly higher risks.

AFTER TESTING POSITIVE “Testing is offered if it will

change screening or surgical decisions,” says Mahon, “and the age at which the cancer has occurred in the family is a driving force.” She notes that women who test positive for a mutated BRCA 1 or 2 gene have an approximate 90 percent chance of developing breast cancer once by the age of 85. Likewise, the chance of developing ovarian cancer can be as high as 50 percent. BRCA gene mutations also are associated with other cancers, including uterine, colon, pancreatic, prostate and melanoma. “Bilateral prophylactic mastectomy is the most effective risk reduction strategy for gene carriers. The risk reduction is around 95 percent,” Dr. Diane M. Radford, a Mercy Clinic breast surgeon, says. Additionally, women who test positive for the BRCA 1 or 2 genes are strongly encouraged to undergo oophorectomy (ovary removal) between the ages of 35 and 45, after childbearing is complete, because ovarian cancer is very difficult to detect and treatment can be very difficult, Mahon says.

ONE WOMAN’S STORYJoanne Kelly’s aunt, grandmother

and great-grandmother died of ovarian cancer. Her mother also was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 48. Because her mother tested positive for the BRCA 1 mutation, Kelly knew she had a 50/50 chance of inheriting the mutation. “Even before I had the test, I had pretty much prepared myself for a positive result. It was just a matter of when,” Kelly says. “Still, it was a shock when I got the results.” Results came in September 2008, and she underwent a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy at only 32 years old. A few years later when she turned 35, Kelly had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy, as well. “The side effects, including hot flashes, trouble sleeping and weight gain, have been pretty difficult,” Kelly says. Still, she has no regrets. “I absolutely made the right choice.”

work it out We’ve all heard the figures: a whopping half of all American marriages end in divorce. Could it be accurate? Actually, it is. According to the American Psychological Association, between 40 and 50 percent of marriages end in divorce. So what can couples do to beat the odds? Couples counseling might offer a good place to start. DEALING WITH LIFE

Counseling can help couples navigate major transitions in their lives, like becoming new parents, changing careers, dealing with illness or entering retirement, explains Rachel Hasper, a licensed professional counselor in Webster Groves. “Counseling can certainly be necessary in times of crisis, such as infidelity, addiction, illness, or tragedy and loss. Two people sharing a life can count on conflict,” she says. “If you feel distant and lonely even when you’re together, if you’ve lost intimacy or you argue about the same problem again and again, if you’re struggling to handle major life events, or if you generally carry feelings of anger and resentment toward each other, counseling can help couples heal hurts and find common ground.” Hasper adds that if both partners aren’t willing to attend therapy, one of them seeking help and working on change can be enough to shift dynamics and improve the relationship. “It’s helpful to do periodic ‘checkups,’ even when things seem to be going well,” adds Priscilla Bass, Ph.D., a therapist at Life Transitions Counseling. “We tend to stifle conflicts and leave things to simmer under the surface. You don’t want to wait until the problems are too big. Marriage takes practice and commitment from both partners.” She adds that one situation in which couples counseling is not the recommended solution is when there is abuse in the relationship. “Sometimes people have to work on themselves before they can work on the relationship.”

Finding a therapist both parties can be comfortable with is the first step, the counselors agree. After all, it’s hard to share your deepest thoughts and feelings with another person, let alone a stranger. Bass says couples counseling will be uncomfortable at times, but it also can be fun. “Counseling is an opportunity to uncover things you didn’t know about yourself and your partner,” she says. “It can be very positive; you should expect to be challenged and to look at old or unhealthy behaviors that aren’t working in your relationship. It can be hard to see these things on your own. Seeking help can be liberating and freeing.” Hasper explains that a third party brings the often-needed neutral element to conflicts. “Counseling helps facilitate difficult conversations and assist couples in finding strategies and solutions to reconnect, build friendship and enjoy long-term marital satisfaction,” she says.

LASTING BENEFITS

Both Hasper and Bass agree that counseling can offer long-term help, even if the marriage ultimately ends. “Each person can gain insight about their own behaviors, improve how they manage life stressors, and learn tools to communicate and handle conflict in healthy ways—skills that will serve them in relationships with children, family, friends, coworkers and themselves,” Hasper says. “Counseling helps to reduce conflict, which is really important when a marriage ends,” adds Bass. “It also helps individuals deal with the loss of their marriage and shared dreams.”

THE YEARS TAKE THEIR TOLL

According to Hasper, the natural tendency is for relationships to worsen over time. “To keep a marriage strong, there needs to be efforts to nurture each other and the relationship,” she says. “Counseling can be a great investment toward building empathy, optimism and marital satisfaction.” Therapy is shown to be more effective for couples who take personal responsibility for their part of the relationship troubles and make changes regardless of whether their partner chooses to do so, Hasper says. “Studies show that couples who learn to handle conflict constructively and seek help earlier have higher likelihoods that counseling will be productive and beneficial,” she says. Couples need to approach counseling with a completely open mind, Bass adds. “Those who think, I don’t know why I’m here are not willing to look at themselves,” she says. “Or, they expect the counselor to take a side and change the other person. I tell couples that neither person is wrong, but the way they are currently dealing with the conflict isn’t working.”

the approach Howard and June Roesslein Chilcutt took in 2006 when they wanted a home spacious enough to accommodate family gatherings, but with cozy spaces for everyday living. To design and build their own home at 972 Masonridge Road was a natural choice for the Chilcutts— Howard is chairman of Consort Homes, and June founded June Roesslein Interiors in 1976, running the company until she sold it a few years ago. “We worked with a wonderful architect, Dick Busch,” June Roesslein Chilcutt says. “We knew we wanted a French country look for both the interior and exterior. It’s much easier if you blend the outside with the inside—it creates a nicer flow.” The 7,192-square-foot home features four bedrooms, seven bathrooms and an elevator connecting all three floors. To make the space seem more intimate, the home’s large size is offset by a few wellselected architectural details. Natural light streams in through plenty of windows, and gleaming wood floors combined with soft cream tones are used throughout the main living areas. Rather than a standard rectangular room, the grand hall is coffered and hipped, which makes the space seem less impersonal, Chilcutt says. Flanked by dining and living rooms, the grand hall was designed for entertaining a crowd, which is needed with the Chilcutt clan. Between them, Howard and June have six children and 17 grandchildren. “Everyone would come for the holidays,” Chilcutt says. “We’re really lucky that most of our children live in the St. Louis area, and we’re able to do special birthdays and holidays.” The home also has a combined family room, breakfast room and kitchen, the latter tricked-out with enough appliances to make feeding a large family seem effortless. “We have two refrigerators and two dishwashers for big family dinners,” Chilcutt says. “It’s bright and airy and a really comfortable place for all the kids to spend time.” Walking trails connect the home to a nearby park, where the Chilcutts often enjoyed time with their grandchildren. “There’s a big water fountain, and the kids can go to the playground or go fishing in the lake,” she says. “It’s fabulous.” The Chilcutts, who now spend most of their time in Florida, are planning to downsize to a smaller condo in St. Louis.

g n i t s AT HOME] o h LATIN POOL PARTY

by stephanie zeilenga & isabelle gustafson

In the sticky days of late summer, the pool is a hot place to cool down. Heat up your social scene with a Latin-inspired poolside fiesta that’s anything but humdrum. 7320 Forsyth Blvd, #201 | University City

THE ENTERTAINMENT

THE SCENE

Take your imagination to Cuba for decoration inspiration. Haul out any rattan or wood furniture you have and embellish the scene with fedoras, cigar boxes and bright pops of color. Fill the pool with a dozen brightly colored beach balls.

COMING SOON

Use burlap as a tablecloth and rattan place mats. To get the authentic Havana look, mix and match bright, vivid hues for napkins, flowers and other colorful details.

•

Scatter banana leaves, available at Global Foods Market, down the center of the table and fill vases with hibiscus blooms or whichever tropical flowers are available at local florist shops.

Host a pre-dinner salsa-tasting competition. Ask each guest to bring homemade or jarred salsa and see which is the crowd favorite.

•

After your guests loosen up with a drink or two but before they jump in the pool, treat them to a salsa-dancing session with an instructor.

•

Set up a small cart with a selection of fine cigars, available at a number of local shops, as well as cutters, ashtrays and lighters.

•

Crank up the spicy tunes! Stream a salsa or tango station on Pandora or Songza. To splurge on an extra-memorable evening, hire a salsa band.

THE DRINKS

No Latin-themed party would be complete without margaritas. To keep the frosty drinks flowing with little fuss, rent a margarita machine from stlmargaritas.com.

•

Fill glass beverage dispensers with water and lemon and lime slices.

•

Stock the bar with sangria and ingredients to make Cuba libres (cola, lime, white rum) and mojitos (white rum, sugar, lime juice, club soda, mint). To keep beer-lovers happy, peruse Global Foods Market’s selection of Latin American-made beers.

THE MENU

650 East Adams Avenue | Kirkwood

Keep it casual with a variety of Latin-inspired appetizers and tapas: tropical fruit salad, mini Cubano sliders, shrimp ceviche served in avocado halves, fried plantain chips, empanadas and tasting bowls with black beans and rice.

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

AFTER

We have lived here for 15 years and have done work on all three sides but could never really figure out how to make the front more impressive. The entry, to me, never looked quite right and the overhang always threw me. Do you have any suggestions? We would just like the entry to seem more important.

DEAR NOT QUITE THERE YET,

———NOT QUITE THERE YET

You have a handsome and unique home that needs only some minor adjustments to bring out the intrinsic power of its composition. I agree with you that the entry area is not as strong as the composition’s other elements. I would suggest removing the steps and painted railings and replacing them with a bold spill of brick steps that wrap around the corner of the home so that the entry ‘addresses’ the side driveway as well as the street. Next, I would create an arched, painted doorcase to draw attention to the recessed door. Painting the door bright red adds a needed jolt of color. A new coach lamp and potted plants accessorize the entry. Finally, minor details, such as a taller corner fence to hide the air conditioning condenser and a window box above the front door, complete the modifications. Thanks for sending this in. We don’t see many shingle-style homes in St. Louis. ———HOMEWORK
