Where can you map the World by memory, perform in a ShakeSpeare play, and rappel off a 50-foot cliff, all in Sixth grade?

At Forsyth School! Forsyth offers a challenging, engaging education for children age 3 through grade 6 with support from exceptional teachers. With a strong academic foundation that includes the visual and performing arts, sports, and challenge education, Forsyth graduates are well prepared for selective secondary schools.

This program not only teaches children how to set their own goals and challenge themselves, but also teaches the importance of encouraging and supporting one another. What is challenge education?

The Forsyth Adventure Center challenges the children with a climbing wall, high ropes course, and the high beam, a beam 30 feet above the floor.

Memory mapping>> Number of countries

Forsyth School sixth-grade students learn to map the world from memory: 196. Memory mapping is part of the curriculum in grades 4 through 6. Fourth-graders map the U.S., fifth-graders map South America, and sixth-graders map the world from memory.

[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] The topic of today’s Senior Living section is ‘Improving with Age.’ It reminds me how much better parenting is when you’re, well, not the parent. Seniors, if they’re lucky, get to be grandparents—an apt name, since it is kind of grand to be with the kids and get to hand them right back.

During a recent visit by my grandchildren, I had to, I mean I got to, be alone with them for 36 hours. There was an unexpected funeral out-of-town, and I volunteered to stay home. That’s when I devised my plan of attack, I mean, planned the fun time we’d have together. I realized that being alone with small children is a little like surviving in battle (actually, a lot like it). The element of surprise is crucial. And they never saw it coming.

I picked them up from half-day camp at COCA and immediately hit them with this: Who wants to go to Fitz’s? Glee ensued, as did stupefyingly huge root beer floats. After that, we visited the U. City library, where they got to run around, read while lying inside padded bathtubs, and check out 23 books. Then I sneaked in a quick grocery run by pretending it was all about getting dinner from the Whole Foods hot bar. My word is my pledge, so we came home with dinner hand-picked by the kids: mashed potatoes, cherry cobbler and macaroni and cheese. A Starbucks stop the next morning for vanilla milk and rice krispy treats was, I thought, a great way to ensure we all got where we needed to without drama. And, saving the coup de grâce for last, we concluded our alone time with a visit to Ted Drewes.

I imagine their mom didn’t totally approve, but I’ll bet those kids are hoping for a funeral every week.

Homeowners contemplating a renovation project can soon have all their design and remodeling questions answered on News Talk 97.1’s new call-in radio show, Right at Home with Rich. Debuting Oct. 4, the show features host RICH LAYTON, senior home consultant at Mosby Building Arts, who has more than 35 years of hands-on remodeling experience.

St. Louisans soon will get an even better glimpse into the kitchen of the historic CAMPBELL HOUSE, the first residence built in the Lucas Place neighborhood in 1851 and home to renowned fur trader and entrepreneur Robert Campbell and his family until 1938. Author and food historian Suzanne Corbett has been working for more than two years on The Gilded Table: The Campbell House Museum Cookbook, slated to be published this spring. The book will feature recipes based on the handwritten collection of Virginia Campbell, as well as Gilded Age dishes served at the Southern Hotel, the former luxury hotel on Fourth and Market streets owned by Robert Campbell.

The book also will offer a glimpse into lavish dinner parties held at the house and include a history of dining traditions of the era.

VOLUNTEER LISA BREER WITH STUDENTS

COVER STORY

SCHOOL-READY ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF SAINT LOUIS by tony di martino AN 8-YEAR-OLD GIRL MISSES SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE HAS NO SHOES. An 11-year old boy hangs his head in shame when kids make fun of his shabby clothing. Three siblings dread waiting at the bus stop on chilly fall mornings because their parents can’t afford to buy them warm clothes.

Assistance League of St. Louis identifies community needs such as these and develops, implements and funds ways to meet them. “One of the most important things we do is make sure children have decent clothes for school,” says president Marilyn Panter. Established in 1987 as a chapter of the National Assistance League, the organization helps St. Louisans of all ages with a broad range of programs. “We also provide necessities for women and children in shelters, activity kits for hospital patients, and teddy bears for emergency responders to distribute to kids and seniors in traumatic situations,” she explains. “We help in whatever way we can.”

Last year, ALSL’s Operation School Bell program supplied more than 3,500 students in 24 area public schools with uniforms, sweatshirts, underwear and socks, along with personal hygiene kits.

Steps to Success, a sister program in partnership with Shoe Carnival, fit more than 2,500 kids from 28 schools with new athletic shoes. “We’ve expanded the program to include a new book for each child,” Panter says. “Many have never had a book of their own. You should see the look of joy on their faces!”

ALSL has no paid staff, “just 349 volunteers with huge hearts,” she says. “Last year, we contributed more than 55,700 hours of service to 39,000 individuals.” But the need never stops, and the waiting list keeps growing. To help fund programs, ALSL operates Fantastic Finds, a resale shop on Olive Boulevard near Mason Road. “To celebrate the shop’s 10th anniversary, we’re adding 1,500 square feet of floor space to better serve customers,” she says. Another major source of income is the organization’s annual fall gala dinner auction. This year’s event, Imagine!, takes place Nov. 8 in the Edward Jones Atrium. Linda Welborn serves as chairperson, with Lynne Turley as vice chair.

Simple things like new clothes and shoes can have a significant impact, notes ALSL presidentelect Jane Harbron. “In a recent survey, 86 percent of teachers report that many students have benefited socially or academically from the supplied uniforms, and more than half agreed that the uniforms improve classroom discipline,” she says.

Parents also provide feedback. “We get the most amazing responses,” says marketing communications VP Sue Bassett. “Parents tell us the uniforms improve their children’s self-image, help them focus on learning, and keep them from being bullied because they can’t afford trendy brand-name clothes.” But the most gratifying responses come from the kids, she adds. “One little girl said to the volunteer who fitted her, ‘Thank you! I love you!’ It made our day. When kids feel confident, it gets the school year off to a strong start—and forms the foundation for solid academic achievement.”

COVER STORY

MEAT MARKET by stephanie zeilenga

ST. LOUISANS NOW HAVE A NEW ONE-STOP SHOP for gourmet provisions. Butchery Truffles Meat Market, a new Ladue butcher shop and artisan food and wine boutique, is run by Truffles executive chef Brandon Benack. “Brandon wanted to give people the ability to take the Truffles experience home with them,” says Andrew Jennrich, partner in the venture and former chef at Farmhaus.

Newly open this month, the full-range butcher shop sells locally and regionally sourced meats, including pork, beef and chicken. Local meat offers a host of benefits, Jennrich says. “It reduces your carbon footprint, and it allows us to support the local economy,” he says. It also tends to be fresher. “I can call my pig guy and get a pig in two days, which is pretty fresh,” Jennrich says. “If I wanted to get pigs from some farm in Iowa, it’s going to be more like four to five days, and for beef, it’s even longer.”

Jennrich points to Price Family Farms in Troy, Mo., as the kind of quality meat producer he wants to support. “I like their passion and how small their farm is,” he says.

“It’s only about 35 acres, so when I stand on the hill where the barn is, I can see the fence line around the property, and they’ve literally got eyes and ears on every cow on the farm.”

Butchery also offers a selection of seafood, sauces, dressings, spice rubs, mustards, jams, chutneys, wines from the Truffles wine list, and a variety of grab-and-go items, including homemade salads and sandwiches. “It’s a lot of things you see at the

restaurant—mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green bean amandine and Truffles’ bread,” Jennrich says.

To produce meat with superior flavor, Butchery is outfitted with a dry-aging room, which has walls lined in pink Himalayan rock salt slabs, Jennrich explains. Over time, the room will become seasoned, similar to a cast-iron pan, adding a unique flavor to the meat. “The salt purifies the air and pulls moisture out of the meat,” he says. “Once the room comes alive, and this is years down the road, we’re going to be able to create a proprietary flavor for our meat.”

The shop also produces in-house charcuterie. “Running our own charcuterie program goes hand-in-hand with having a mostly whole-animal butcher shop,” Jennrich says. “A pig is not a pork chop, and a cow is not a rib-eye. You have to figure out how to use that whole animal, and there are parts of the animal that need more love to enhance the flavor. By offering charcuterie, we can find ways to make use of almost every part.”

Using whole animals also helps Butchery offer meat at all price points. “What keeps our prices extremely competitive for the quality we offer is that we’re buying whole animals and butchering them in-house,” Jennrich says. “When you buy just pieces, the price goes up, and that gets passed along to the consumer. The more we do ourselves, the better we’re able to keep the prices competitive.”

TOWN TALK

[ASSET$ & ANSWERS Q “ “ by tony di martino

I WANT TO PROTECT ASSETS FROM THE WOMAN MY SON IS MARRYING—IN CASE IT DOESN’T WORK OUT. HOW CAN I DO THAT?

The best way to protect marital property is to do so before the divorce. When leaving assets or income to your children, you can choose exactly the terms under which you want to distribute it. The terms can be as strict or flexible as you like.

The first thing to do is create a will or a revocable living trust, so you can set out your intentions for the distribution of assets at the time of your death. Without these documents, you’re limited in the ways you can protect the assets you leave your children and their heirs.

Careful drafting of the trust’s terms and conditions will help protect funds, etc., from unintended beneficiaries.

To give the adult beneficiary additional control, we typically appoint them as family trustee of their own trust. They can invest and use the assets at their discretion, within the limits you have specified and as long as the assets remain in the trust name.

To give the beneficiary increased divorce and creditor protection, we typically appoint an independent, unrelated co-trustee. However, to make sure the beneficiary isn’t saddled with a difficult or unresponsive co-trustee, we often provide the trustee/ beneficiary with the right to remove the co-trustee.

”

—DAVID APTED

VICE PRESIDENT/ FINANCIAL ADVISER, SMITH MOORE

To protect a beneficiary’s wealth transfers from creditors, predators and future ex-spouses, work with an estate planning attorney to create a trust to receive assets, versus distributing them outright at future designated ages.

Establishing an irrevocable trust with the beneficiary as trustee is a powerful option, since the assets are not in the individual beneficiary’s name.

An irrevocable trust provides protection for not only the first-named beneficiary, but also for future generations.

But once income is distributed from a trust to a beneficiary, those assets become unprotected. They’re co-mingled with the beneficiary’s individual assets, making them vulnerable to creditors and future spouses. This is especially true in cases where the income isn’t needed by the beneficiary.

You can protect these income distributions by making sure the trust document includes a provision that makes the distributions discretionary, rather than occurring at mandatory intervals, such as quarterly.

You also might consider protecting the trust beneficiary from himself by adding a co-trustee for at least a year prior to the date the beneficiary becomes his own trustee. The role of the cotrustee is to educate the beneficiary on the provisions of the trust, and to help avoid unnecessary distributions and co-mingling with individual or marital property.

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

The area’s newest museum is a cross between The Magic House and the Museum of Transportation, with a smattering of library reading rooms tossed in. St. Louis Children’s Illustrated Art Museum began as a project to encourage sick children by gathering original artwork that appears in children’s literature and creating a journal with it. But as donations from artists and publishers grew, it became apparent that the collection would need to be curated in a permanent home. It’s in Chesterfield Mall, with the latest exhibit opened in August, and is delightful for train buffs of any age. Front and center is a 40-foot-long wooden steam train, from locomotive to caboose, built with unfinished lumber from area Home Depot stores. It’s part of ‘All Aboard: Now and Then,’ an exhibit featuring models of choo-choos from the early age of steam to today. Thomas the Tank Engine is here, as is an operating electric train layout from back in the day.

There’s a look back at Union Station and its important role in St. Louis history, as well as a pictorial history of Amtrak.

Located on the mall’s second floor near Macy’s, the museum is open Wednesday through Sunday. For this exhibit there’s a $5 admission charge per person, $10 for a family.

If you’ve got an outstanding warrant in Clayton, Oct. 6 might be your lucky day.

On that Monday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., defendants can have the slate wiped clean on the amnesty day docket at the municipal court, 10 S. Brentwood Blvd.

Defendants will be seen by the municipal court judge and city prosecutor on a first-come, first-served basis. Anyone who qualifies, of course, knows this; they’re well aware there’s a warrant out for their arrest. If you have a bunch of traffic tickets, that’s one thing. You may get off scot-free. But if it’s something more serious, you may have to post bond. So, come prepared for that or to pay fines. Valid identification and proper

OF THE

attire are a must, so no shirt, no shoes, no way. (Now, if you’ve been on the lam for a serious offense in another jurisdiction, of course, this doesn’t include you. If you think it does, you may continue your career as a knucklehead.)

In the case of the now-defunct Spicer’s, Yogi Berra might say, ‘It’s like déjà vu all over again.’ A Ladue fixture for nearly three-quarters of a century, the toy, novelty and candy store is closing.

Again. Yogi might also say, ‘It ain’t over ’til it’s over,’ but this time, it’s over. Looks like the fat lady has sung. After inventory and fixtures have been liquidated, the beloved, classic five & dime at 8859 Ladue Road—resurrected after its 2006 closing

by Doug and Cindy Murdoch—is gone for good. The emporium’s namesake, Max Spicer, opened it in 1947, and Joe McNulty ran it from 1970 until 2006. The Murdochs had more or less continued to offer the same inventory of candy, school supplies, greeting cards, gifts, puzzles, games, movies and more toys. Alas, maybe it was finally time to retire. The store had been in business for 67 years.

After a 20-something girl ran off the road in St. Charles County, overcorrected and flipped her car on its side, the real mayhem began, cops say. She resisted arrest for DWI— big time. She attempted to pull away several times as the state trooper tried to handcuff her, then she unbuckled her seat belt in his car and tried to get out. He pepper-sprayed her. Then, on the way to the hospital to confirm her blood-alcohol level, she threatened the trooper’s family with bodily harm. Once at the hospital, she tried to escape again, whereupon the trooper pepper-sprayed her a second time. She tried to kick the officer in the chest. The drunk was charged with a laundry list of felonies and misdemeanors, and by the time she calmed down and sobered up, she

couldn’t have been pleased that she was in custody on $25,000, cash-only bond.

Gunpowder and gasoline.

Cats and dogs. Oil and water. Guns and schools.

Usually, none of these pairings is a good idea. And it appears so far that many, if not most, area school districts aren’t very excited about the prospect of arming teachers, legislation that Gov. Jay Nixon tried to put the quietus on in July, although his veto was overridden a few weeks ago. Kelvin Adams, superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools, is among many supers who don’t foresee arming designated staff members anytime soon, if ever. The downside of such legislation

ST. LOUIS

was demonstrated recently when the gun carried by a Utah teacher discharged accidentally in a restroom, injuring her and shattering the toilet. This scenario is not lost on area administrators. In any case, the law, as it stands, permits select school staff members to be armed. It does not require them to be. The incident in Utah is blackly humorous, but a gun ‘accidentally discharging’ in a classroom, cafeteria or gym would not be.

A new municipal center will be

erected in Olivette, thanks to voters overwhelmingly passing a $13.5 million bond issue in August. It’s been a long time coming. Observers say the existing building at 9473 Olive Blvd. is cramped and outdated. To wit: When it was built 60 years ago, the police department had only two officers; now there are about 25. Police even have had to use a holding cell for storage. Two years ago, the city proposed the purchase of an existing building, which did not come to fruition. The new center—to the east, on Dielman Road just north of Olive Boulevard—will combine the police and fire departments under the same roof, as well as the city administration, planning department, and some parks and recreation personnel. It isn’t clear when construction will begin or when the project will be completed.

Did professional sharpshooters in Town & Country and other municipalities help keep the county deer population down, resulting in fewer cars striking deer Missouri-wide from July 2013 through June 2014? Well, State Farm is there—the huge insurance company is on it, and the answer is: probably not. A viral disease that spread as a result of the severe 2012 drought has reduced the state’s deer population, conservationists say. According to State Farm claims data, Missouri drivers are nearly 8 percent less likely to collide with a deer in the next 12 months than they were last year. The odds drivers will hit a deer in Missouri in the coming year are 1 in 124, still above the national average of 1 in 169. Where do we stand in our deer-striking probability? We’re 18th.

One more reason not to live in West Virginia? There’s a 1-in-39 chance of hitting a deer in the mountainous state.

Another reason to move to Hawaii? The odds of getting a deer in your headlights there are only 1 in 10,281. And who says statisticians have no fun? They calculated that Hawaiians are three times more likely to get struck by lightning in their lifetime than they are to hit a deer in the

next year. Well, OK. We’d like to know, on average, how long a Missourian will scratch a chigger bite.

Firefighters in U. City have been at odds with city administrators for some time. Last April, six were suspended three months for appearing in gear for an ad touting a city council candidate (he lost). Now, city firefighters have locked horns with city manager Lehman Walker, who is leading the charge to privatize ambulance services. Walker says the move would save the city about $1 million annually. The city already has received proposals from Abbott EMS and Gateway ambulance companies, despite the firefighters union’s insistence that it would affect the quality of services that citizens receive. Walker begs to differ, saying there would be no reduction in the quality of services through outsourcing, although he acknowledges it might impact jobs and staffing levels at the fire department. (Not to diss the private providers, but we’ll see, right?)

A vintage postcard of the overpass carrying Route 66 over Highway 67 (Watson Road and Lindbergh Boulevard, respectively) could serve as a blueprint for aesthetic changes at the interchange. One of the projects under consideration by the Sunset Hills Special Projects Committee is a facelift at the bridge that includes wider sidewalks, ornate light standards, granite accents and more elaborate landscaping. Committee members say it would enhance pedestrian access to the shopping district on both sides of Lindbergh Boulevard. In any case, MoDOT would have to approve any changes the city recommends before construction begins. About a quartermile south of where Interstate 44 crosses Lindbergh, the interchange probably would remain a diamond, although when first built in 1931, it was the first cloverleaf west of the Mississippi. Hey, it could happen. Just look at how beautiful the updated Highway 40/I-64 bridges are since the corridor was re-engineered in 2008. Sure, they benefited from a federal transportation department outlay as well as MoDOT money, but what the heck?

ABOUT THE CLUB To encourage their young daughters to read, a group of mothers formed the Raving Readers, a mother-daughter book group, in 2012. At the time, the children were about to begin third grade. “We wanted them to stay engaged in an academic realm during the summer,” Rachel Hasper says. “They’re not all best friends in school, so it’s nice that they get to spend time with people outside their normal social group.”

Each month, the girls and their moms meet in each others’ homes or at local ice cream shops— Serendipity is one favorite—to discuss a book selected by one of the preteens. “We go over questions and talk about the book,” Kate Hasper says. “We have fun and eat ice cream.” If there’s a movie that ties in with the book, the girls will watch it together. One of Kate’s favorite meetings, she recalls, included popcorn and a screening of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.

The book club also provides a wonderful mother-daughter bonding opportunity, Hasper says. “Sharing the experience with Kate is a treat. Reading the book together and talking about it is an opportunity to learn about her thinking process and reaffirm our family values. We often talk about stuff we might not otherwise.”

ABOUT THE BOOK In Kimberly Griffiths Little’s The Healing Spell, 12-year-old Livie is convinced she is responsible for her mother’s coma, and that it is up to her to find a cure.

Although Livie’s world is filled with three sisters, a secret pet alligator and a beloved dad, she struggles to find her place in her family. Desperate to save her mother, Livie visits a faith healer in the bayou who gives her a spell that will only work if she has faith.

[ dedicated dancer ] ELLA McCARTHY

Ella McCarthy’s summer vacation was likely much different from the one most kids her age experienced. The Wydown eighth-grader earned a spot at the Milwaukee Ballet’s prestigious summer intensive pre-professional program, which had her dancing six hours a day for six weeks.

This was her second summer making it into the program, and she plans to audition for a similar experience somewhere else next year.

Dance has been a part of the 13-year-old’s routine since she was 3, and she knew early on it was something she was passionate about. “I started studying at COCA when I was 7 because I wanted better dance training,” she explains. “I enjoy the energy, and I like how you can convey different emotions into the piece you are performing and make it your own.”

In 2014, CDS 3-6 grade students outperformed their independent school peers in 28 out of 28 categories of the ERB Comprehensive Test.

ELLA McCARTHY

Ella practices various styles of dance, including ballet, modern, jazz and musical theater, but she primarily focuses on ballet and modern. Of COCA’s three student dance companies, Ella is in two: Ballet Eclectica, which incorporates elements of classical and contemporary ballet, and COCAdance, which focuses on modern and jazz. Her dedication and talent earned her an invitation to COCA’s Honors Program, which requires students to put in additional practice hours each week and maintain an A/B average to graduate high school with an honors in dance.

With multiple performances throughout the year at the studio, practicing is a constant requirement for Ella, who dances every day of the week. “I just enjoy it; it’s not overwhelming to me,” she says. “But you do have to stay on top of things.” Such determination and passion will serve her well, as she has lofty goals for the future. “I would love to be a professional dancer in a contemporary ballet company, a fusion of modern and ballet.”

talk to… [brendan bognar] Brendan Bognar, a 17-year-old senior at Westminster Christian Academy, works well under pressure; in fact, that’s one of the things he loves most about his position as high school quarterback.

He’s also played on the varsity basketball team since his freshman year, but his true passion lies under the bright lights of the football field.

WHEN DID YOU START PLAYING FOOTBALL? I started in the seventh grade at Westminster, and I’ve played quarterback since the eighth grade. I’ve always loved football, so when I got to a school where it was available, I knew I wanted to play.

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THE QUARTERBACK POSITION? I love pressure, and I want to win. Quarterback is the position most people think can make or break the game, and I want people to rely on me. It’s pretty easy with the talented teammates I have; I feel like I can just throw the ball up and someone will make a play.

HOW WAS LAST YEAR’S SEASON? We went 10-3; it was the best year in school history, so that was really cool to be a part of. We made it all the way to the quarterfinals at the end of the season.

FORSYTH. THERE’S NOTHING LIKE IT.

[ on the ball ] TJ CHULICK

Soccer has been a part of Whitfield School senior TJ Chulick’s routine since he was 3 years old and playing for a local Catholic Youth Council league. His coach transitioned the team to an indoor league and eventually a more competitive club team. “I started playing with the St. Louis Scott Gallagher Soccer Club when I was 7, and that’s where I’ve been ever since,” he says. The enjoyment he gets from playing has remained the same, but Chulick now has a greater appreciation for the sport—and a more intense practice schedule. “When I was younger, I just liked to compete,” he says. “As I got older and started high school, I became more interested in the different ways to play and the tradition of the game.”

The 17-year-old has played on the Whitfield varsity team since he was a freshman and credits his coaches, Bill Daues and Mike Quante, for teaching him not just about the technical aspects of the game, but also how to have a mental edge over opponents. “They taught me how to push myself mentally and not just physically, which a lot of players struggle with,” he explains. “That’s really helped me. I love learning new moves, and I try to get better every day.”

The drive to reach full potential requires lots of time on the soccer field. “I’m always practicing, dribbling or passing with a friend or another teammate every day to keep in touch with the sport,” he says. The Whitfield team started daily practice in August, and once the high school season is over, Chulick will practice three times a week for the club team. The hours have paid off: He has two state championships with his club team, and Whitfield won tj chulick the district championship last year.

Chulick also was selected Class 1 All State the past two years, a distinction voted on by coaches.

Chulick can easily be called a natural athlete; he’s also played lacrosse since the age of 10 (although he had to sit out last season because of an injury) and plans to play on the Whitfield golf team in the spring. He wants to choose a college based on its academics but doesn’t rule out continuing soccer.

“I want to go to school for school, but if the college has a soccer team, I will work my hardest to play.

I need to get used to the possibility of not playing every day, but I’d miss it.”

WHAT DOES THE TEAM LOOK LIKE THIS YEAR? Most of the team is returning, so we lost only a few key players. So far in practice, everyone looks great. I expect us to be in the running for the State Championship.

ANY OPPONENTS YOU’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING THIS YEAR?

ADMISSION OPEN HOUSE Sunday, November 2, 2014 1:00 - 4:00p

We have to go one week at a time. We’ll play John Burroughs, who we’ve never beaten in the school’s history, so we really want that game.

DO YOU WANT TO PLAY IN COLLEGE? It is definitely my dream to play in college—and the NFL. I’m looking at quite a few schools at this point.

HEARD IN THE HALLS by karyn meyer CLAYTON HIGH SCHOOL

Clayton High School senior Bry Rechan and classmates are doing their part to help the Ferguson community heal. She and Zoe Bowman collaborated on a charity art project, Hands Out, a grassroots effort coordinated by the high school seniors and their friends to provide Ferguson grade-schoolers age 6 to 10 with hands-on art activities. The first event, a pizza art party, took place Aug. 30 at First Baptist Church in Ferguson. The teens and their families have raised $5,000 for the program, which aims to empower children affected by the tragedy through the healing benefits of art.

Kirkwood School District put a unique spin on the traditional groundbreaking festivities with a ‘splashbreaking’ for the new Walker Natatorium at the high school, to be completed in 2015.

Dignitaries and students threw buckets of water onto the site where the competitive pool will be built, and the theme continued with a water balloon launch, dunking booth, beach ball toss and snow cones. The Earl E. and Myrtle E. Walker Foundation established a $10 million grant for construction of the facility.

Brown, an ambassador in Troop 1089, assembled a team to reorganize the school’s PARKWAY WEST choral music library by creating a spreadsheet for the music and placing it on new shelving. Fewer than 1 percent of all Girl Scouts earn the honor, which is the highest national award in scouting..

COVER STORY

SLUCARE

by tony di martino

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES SUFFER an estimated 2 muscles and connective tissue, leading to long recovery times,”

million sports-related injuries annually. The attitude of many hyper-competitive coaches used to be, Walk it off, get back in the game and tough it out. “We have a deeper understanding of sports injuries and their potential long-term repercussions these days,” says Dr. Scott Kaar, assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and director of the sports medicine program at SLUCare, the physicians of Saint Louis University. “If not diagnosed and treated properly, some injuries can bench your youngster for months—and have serious health consequences for a lifetime.”

SLUCare’s sports medicine team is staffed by fellowshiptrained sports medicine specialists from the departments of orthopaedic surgery and family medicine. “We treat athletes of all ages and skill levels, and from all sports, including the SLU Billikens, other area high schools and colleges, and local NCAA playoff events,” Kaar says. SLUCare experts from a wide range of disciplines work together, coordinating comprehensive patient care and rehabilitation. “As a research and teaching institution, we’re always learning more and updating our skills,” Kaar says. “We work with coaches and athletic trainers, too, ensuring the best recovery for our patients.”

Recent advances in knowledge and technology have created better diagnostic capabilities, imaging techniques and treatment options, Kaar explains. “Rotator cuff, knee and hip surgeries no longer require huge incisions that can damage

he says. “Today’s minimally invasive surgical techniques, in which miniature fiber optic cameras and instruments are inserted through tiny incisions, result in significantly less postoperative pain, faster recovery times and fewer complications.

Rehab and physical therapy techniques have improved, too.”

Just ask soccer player Michael Volansky of Perryville High School in southeast Missouri. Volansky, who’s now 18, plays center midfield for the Perryville Pirates. “Sophomore year when I was 16, I tore my right ACL and my lateral meniscus; junior year, I tore my left ACL,” he recalls. “Both times, I went to Dr. Kaar.” An avid athlete, Volansky worried he would never play again, especially after the second tear, which was more extensive than the first. “But Dr. Kaar was always there for me, answering every question and phone call. He had me up and around in no time. I feel great, and I’m playing better than ever. In fact, a couple of colleges are scouting me!”

Ten or 15 years ago, Volansky would have been confined to a cast for a month or more, and hobbling on crutches for at least six weeks, Kaar notes. “But we had him walking without crutches two weeks after surgery, and he was jogging within two months,” he says. “Five months later, he was back on the field. We’re dedicated to helping athletes of all ages and abilities stay healthy. Whether you’re a pro football player or your favorite activity is walking around the mall, we’ll get you off the sidelines and back into the game.”

Dustin Allison, founder and producer of the new NOVEMBER THEATER COMPANY, will launch with Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins Sept. 26. Allison is starting off small, only eight performances over two weekends, but he hopes to grow into a full season, “giving more opportunities to local artists.”

<<< EM PIRO is the sprightly, fresh spearhead of St Lou Fringe,

EM PIRO PHOTO: ALLAN CRAIN

now in its fourth year. (Did you even know St Louis had a Fringe Festival?) On Oct. 3 at 7:15 p.m., she and a group from POW! (Pockets of Wonder, a poetry-based street theater) will create an original production at PXSTL: Lots, the sculpture across from the Pulitzer Arts building. In mid-October she will perform a one-woman show, The K of D: An Urban Legend at 10 p.m. at the Revisionist Inn. She is fierce and a force to be considered.

THE THEATER SEASON IS UPON US! From our lauded St Louis institutions to the smallest new start-ups, September and October are packed with exciting entertainment opportunities.

The Repertory Theatre has already kicked off its season with One Man, Two Guvnors. The comedy, based on Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters, plays through Oct. 5 on the main stage. The Rep picks up again in mid-October with A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Look for Safe House, which plays in the Studio Theater starting late January, and Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, which will close the season in March/April.

The Fabulous Fox presents Mrs. Independent for two shows only on Oct. 5. The drama explores the changing gender roles of the family ‘breadwinner’ and stars Priest Tyaire and Robin Givens. Also showing in late October is Dirty Dancing, co-produced with Dance St Louis. But the Fox show that is a must-see is coming in March: Kinky Boots.

The Black Rep already completed its first show of the season, Purlie, and you will have to wait untill Nov. 28 for its second offering, A Raisin in the Sun, one of my all-time favorite plays.

In smaller professional venues, Upstream Theater begins its 10th season with Sophocles’ Antigone, performing a new translation by David Slavitt Oct. 10 to 26.

Upstream is known for quirky, American premieres of international plays that challenge its intellectually adroit audience. And The New Jewish Theatre begins its season Oct. 11 with The Diary of Anne Frank. Check out its website, as NJT has several offerings that look interesting. HotCity Theatre is near the end of its 2014 calendar season with one more offering, Reality, coming in December.

If you are a fan of the mysterious, Stray Dog Theatre presents Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None Oct. 9 to 25. Stray Dog has a fiercely loyal audience, so shows tend to sell out quickly. St Louis Shakespeare will produce Much Ado About Nothing Oct. 17 to 25, and St Louis’ self styled ‘bad boy of musical theater,’ New Line Theatre, opens its 24th season with Bonnie and Clyde Oct. 2 to 25.

THE PRICES

$4.50 to $9 starters $9 to $18 entrees

THE FAVORITES

Lablabi, Baked Lima Beans, Borscht, Summer Vegetable Soup, Hindia’s Plate, Truffle Flight

THIS PLACE OFFERS an interesting (if limited) mix of Tunisian, Israeli, Moroccan and Greek dishes.

The corner spot at Shenandoah and California avenues is in the Fox Park neighborhood, not too far from Lafayette Square. It is attractive inside, with a long bar in the front room and a nice dining room next door.

There is plenty of exposed brick, in keeping with the vintage feel of the neighborhood, nicely redone wood floors and a molded tin ceiling.

The menu is small, but what they have, they do very well, fully maximizing on the strong flavors of the cuisine. A starter called Baked Lima Beans ($6) was so much more than that. Gigantic flat beans came in a kind of caponata with tomatoes, olive oil and potatoes, served with nice, soft pita bread. Its intense cumin and garlic flavors were highly satisfying.

Two soups, Borscht and Cold Mango Soup ($4.50 each), were similarly delicious. The borscht came hot, topped with sour cream and filled with chunks of potato and beet. The mango soup was cold and sweet and packed a very spicy bite. Another daily soup, Summer

Vegetable, was simple but excellent: a flavorful tomato broth filled with squash, northern beans, fresh corn, spinach and cauliflower florets. The vegetables were meaty and crisp-cooked to offer a much heartier dish than typical vegetable soup.

The house specialty seems to be Lablabi ($8), which we ordered with grilled tuna for an upcharge of $4. A Tunisian specialty, this was brothy with chickpeas and cumin and filled with vegetables slow-cooked for hours, or that’s what it tasted like anyway. Olives, capers, preserved lemon, and pickled carrots and onions created a potpourri of flavors anchored by a fried egg on top. Chunks of day-old bread added just before serving can be used to sop up the broth and add a little heft to the meatless dish. (I recommend ordering the bread on the side to better enjoy the delicious broth.)

A mixed vegetables/lentils platter called Hindia’s Plate ($10) was positively delightful in its array of Mediterranean flavors. Offered as a vegetarian entree, it also would make a great starter to share, with its sauteed lentils, roasted potato cubes, sauteed cabbage with greens,

tomato chunks and chopped, hard-cooked eggs on top.

The night we visited, lamb kebabs ($11) were available; they had good flavor in the form of a spiceladen coating, but they were a little on the tough side.

They come on pita bread with a ‘Jerusalem salad’ of marinated cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes topped with tahini and yogurt that was excellent.

Mishca Fish Stew ($13) was a homestyle concoction of cooked tuna and whitefish sauteed with onions and curry powder served over couscous. The Blackened Shrimp entree ($17) is a flavorful dish of spicy shrimp, small-to-medium sized, topped with lobster sage cream.

It comes with roasted corn kernels sauteed with roasted garlic and slivered red peppers.

For dessert, don’t miss the Truffle Flight ($8), a trio of Kakao chocolates—lavender, Turkish coffee and salted caramel—presented with fresh raspberries and a bonus confection of lemon-fennel gel. Each truffle made by the local chocolate purveyor had a unique flavor, especially the lavender truffle, which won a prestigious Good Food Award in 2014.

Helsinki by dorothy weiner | photos by marc weiner

The beauty of a Baltic cruise is that you get to see five cities in seven days. That, too, is the problem.

During such a whirlwind schedule, one city usually gets the short end, and on our Silversea cruise, it was Helsinki. Five hours—that’s it, and what can you do in five hours?

You’d be surprised. We loaded up on guidebooks, purchased the Helsinki Card, and took our best shot. First, you have to know a little about the city so you can get to its essence. For one thing, Helsinki is much ‘newer’ than its Scandinavian neighbors. Surrounded by water on three sides, the modern metropolis, while geographically part of Scandinavia, has a heavily Russian aura. Both of its major cathedrals, Helsinki Lutheran and Uspenski, have those distinctly Russian Orthodox domes. Even the ancient church tower at Suomenlinna fortress is topped by a single oxidized dome with a gold cross (not surprising, given it was built as a Russian Orthodox garrison church in 1854).

That Russian influence can be seen everywhere because it wasn’t until 1917 that Finland became a sovereign nation, after centuries of domination by either Sweden or Russia.

The country was originally founded in 1550 by Sweden to act as a buffer against Russia. The architecture of most of this city’s prominent structures is neoclassical, with gigantic pillars, dentil molding and massive alabaster statuary.

So I’d say the first thing a rushed tourist should do is go to Senate Square and look up at those two houses of worship and at all the other imposing Classical Revival structures built in

the early 19th century. Then step into both cathedrals to get a sense of the city’s dual identity: Slavic v. Scandinavian.

In Uspenski Cathedral, an elaborate iconostasis in front of the nave depicts gilt-enhanced paintings of biblical characters. Massive chandeliers, marble pillars and a gilded ceiling add to the heavily ornate nature of this Helsinki Orthodox parish church. The exterior design comes from the wood architecture of old Russia.

Helsinki Cathedral, older than Uspenski, has a brightwhite Romanesque exterior and clean, open pews laid out

in a cross formation. Built by Prussian architect Carl Ludvig Engel, it clearly conveys a different esthetic, one that downplays worldly grandeur with a clean-lined simplicity, in stark contrast to its Russian Orthodox neighbor. It sits very high above the city, as if to emphasize its relationship to heaven, with steep steps that make you work to get there (heavy-handed symbolism?).

Once you cross these two landmarks off your list, head to Temppeliaukio Church, or ‘Church in the Rock,’ a 20th-century house of worship quarried from bedrock

THIS PAGE: Approaching Helsinki on the Gulf of Finland; Market Square, where the ferry departs for Suomenlinna Fortress

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Helsinki Lutheran Cathedral in Senate Square; the iconostasis at Uspenski Cathedral; Uspenski Cathedral, armor in the National Museum of Finland, Church of the Rock

so that it appears to rise directly from the earth. Inside, worshippers are surrounded by the natural stone, with light flooding eerily in through glass ceiling panels. The organic space has a wide-domed copper ceiling and octagonal pews that seat 6,000. It was built in 1969 by architect brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen, who won the worldwide competition to see who would design the church.

Before catching the ferry to the World Heritage Site fortress of Suomenlinna, give yourself a little time to walk around the open-air Market Square that spans the waterfront area. There you’ll experience Finland at a glance via the various booths selling salmon ryebread, forest blackberries and Lapland crafts (silly hat, anyone)? You’ll need at least an hour at the fortress;

there are barracks, storage caves, the old wall (with cannon holes) and several museums to explore, all scattered about a huge area.

Be sure to leave time to do something no one should miss in Helsinki: shop. Afer all, Finland is the home of Nokia, H&M, Villeroy & Boch, and Marimekko. With time only to window shop at most of these iconic retailers, all on the main esplanadi, Pohjoisesplanadi Street, we couldn’t resist that bastion of clean contemporary design, Marimekko.

One tablecloth, 12 napkins and $400 later, we felt pretty good about our Helsinki stopover. Even though our cruise allowed only a short stop, we figured out just what to do with it: Make every minute count.

In the opening scenes, you learn of Hassan Kadam’s (Manish Dayal) passion for cooking, passed on to him by his mom, who heads the family restaurant. After election turmoil in India, Papa (Om Puri) instructs the Kadam family to pack up their belongings for asylum in Europe. They arrive, totally by chance, in a quaint village in the south of France. And this is where everything starts to happen just as you would expect.

Miss my old house?

I didn’t want to miss out on this!

Brian Hardy, award-winning executive chef and director of food service at The Gatesworth since 2001, says he and catering manager Sam Lamping organize multiple parties each week for residents, including dinner parties and holiday get-togethers. The chef enjoys helping residents who love to entertain continue their traditions. “We can do any size party,” he says. “Sam meets with the residents personally to find out what they’re looking for, and then we make sure it happens.”

The two customize the menu to each occasion, and Hardy says residents often want their own family recipes included, especially for the holidays. “We make multiple kinds of dressing and cranberries every year for Thanksgiving because everyone wants something different,” he says. “We’ll do anything they want to make their day special. For residents who have cooked and entertained their whole lives, it’s nice that we take care of everything and they just get to enjoy the festivities.”

The team helps with all aspects of hosting a party; Hardy says they can provide specialty linens, ice sculptures, specialty desserts or a full-service bar. And there are multiple venues throughout the campus for hosting celebrations, including four dining rooms, a cocktail lounge and an outdoor pavilion. Or residents can hold an event in the privacy of their own apartment. “We just did a cocktail reception for around 60 people in a resident’s apartment,” Hardy says. The options are endless. “Anything they want, we do it.”

Mary Ann Stohr and her husband often entertained in their home in Des Peres, and not much has changed since they moved to The Gatesworth about five years ago. Even though the living space is smaller, Stohr still is able to host get-togethers as often as she wants—only now she doesn’t have the usual stress that comes with entertaining.

Stohr takes advantage of The Gatesworth’s catering services when she has friends over for lunch, either in her apartment or in one of the dining rooms, and for special celebrations like her husband’s 80th birthday party, which she held in the Club One private dining room. Stohr even has been able to continue her tradition of hosting Thanksgiving dinner. “I’ve done it every year since we moved in,” she says. “It’s my favorite holiday, and about 25 family members come. We are in a gorgeous room overlooking the lake. We eat and play games afterward. I’ve already started planning for this year.”

Stohr says she is always impressed with both the food and the service, and appreciates that The Gatesworth staff takes care of every detail. “I just put out placecards and enjoy! I did all the cooking when I entertained at home, and now I don’t do one bit of it, and I love it,” she admits.

Stohr also has reprised her hostess talents in a new role: as chairlady of The Gatesworth’s monthly birthday party celebrations. “It’s a great time, and we have a special dinner menu. And there’s always cake and ice cream!”

FOR NATIVE TEXAN Sarah Evans,

moving to St. Louis three years ago was a major transition. In order to live near her daughter and son-in-law, she left the Dallas/ Fort Worth area, which had always been home.

Fortunately, The Gatesworth’s accommodations have allowed Evans to maintain her beauty and fitness routine. Her biggest adjustment was the climate change—which Evans admits has been an improvement in one way, at least.

“My hair does seem to work better here than in Texas,” she says. “It seems to stay fairly disciplined, even in the heat.” She says The Gatesworth salon offers what most women want from a hair appointment: convenience and consistency. Evans loves having a salon on the grounds and has been going to the same stylist for quite some time. “I have a standing appointment once a week, and that way I don’t have to fuss with it myself,” she says.

But looking (and feeling) good is about more than just good hair, Evans notes. A large part of her weekly routine includes staying active, something she believes promotes a stronger lifestyle. “Exercise has so many benefits,” she

says. “It positively affects your mood and helps your stamina and weight. Maintaining your health just gets more important as you age.”

Evans has always incorporated fitness into her lifestyle. “As an adult, I’ve always worked out and enjoyed going to the gym,” she says.

“I used to love riding my bike and bowling.”

Evans worked with a personal trainer in Texas and says fitness instructor Charlie Foxman has taken over that role at The Gatesworth.

“I work with him in group classes twice a week for 45 minutes and one-on-one once a week for an hour,” she says. “Charlie helps residents maintain their strength and focus on their personal goals in class.” Group sessions involve conditioning exercises, weights and 15 minutes of t’ai chi. She says her personal sessions are more strenuous. “We use the treadmill, stationary bike and weight-lifting machines for a total body workout.”

As a supplement to her routine, Evans enjoys walking outside when the weather allows.

“The nice thing about living here is that I’m welcome to go to the fitness center whenever I want,” she says.

stl village by karyn meyer Studies have shown that isolation, a serious problem among seniors, is as detrimental to health as smoking cigarettes.

That’s why it is so important to address—and why a group of women in Boston took matters into their own hands.

They created a grassroots organization to help seniors like themselves, age 50 and older, remain independent by providing support services and social opportunities. Their concept has transformed into a nationwide movement, now operating under the umbrella of The Village to Village Network, with more than 200 villages either in operation or in development across the country. St. Louis welcomed its first, STL Village, in June.

Each ‘village’ is initiated by local residents, and Gloria Gordon is considered the matriarch of STL Village, according to its executive director, Madeline Franklin. “Gloria had been looking at various models throughout the country that helped seniors live independently when she found the village movement,” Franklin says. “She brought the idea to some friends, who primarily reside in the Central West End neighborhood, and an exploratory committee was formed.” Surveys were conducted to determine the level of interest among seniors in the area before the grand launch April 12. “We had 20 people sign up on day one, and now we have 54 members,” Franklin says.

The nonprofit’s concept is three-pronged, she explains. First, operations are volunteer-based. “Volunteers, who are often members themselves, are vetted to provide services that can include transportation to doctor or hair appointments, help with small household chores or just provide companionship,” Franklin says. Second, for those services that require more professional help—like ongoing home healthcare—the village compiles a list of preferred service providers that have been vetted and checked for references. “We also try to negotiate discounts for our members,” she says.

The final aspect is the most social component: activities. “Many members have lost their spouse or good friends, their children have moved away. They don’t have the social structure they had when they were younger,” Franklin explains. “Isolation results in increased depression and can even lead to suicide.” The activities committee organizes opportunities for members to interact, like ice cream socials, Cardinals games and docent-led tours of the art museum.

“Relationships are developing among our members,” Franklin says. “We’re all about building community, and that requires people interacting. We have members who live on the same street and had never met now becoming friends.”

Each village creates boundaries, called a ‘footprint,’ to better serve members within its established area. “The footprint of STL Village includes portions of St. Louis county and city,” Franklin explains. “We wanted to have a diverse and inclusive village.” Another local village is currently in development and will incorporate areas a little further west, she says.

To cover a portion of operating expenses, membership fees are $50 a month for individuals and $70 a month for a household, which Franklin says is far less than assisted living costs would be.

And in order to include lower-income individuals, subsidized memberships are available for $10 a month. To raise funds for the remaining expenses, the village solicits individuals, corporations and foundations interested in supporting seniors. It also hosts fundraisers like its USO Canteen Party Nov. 8 at the Mahler Ballroom. Tickets are $25, and a 17-piece swing band will perform as part of the festivities.

“We have a lot of people say, ‘I love the idea, but I’m not quite ready,’” Franklin says. “But we try to encourage them to join now because we think interaction across generations is very healthy.” And, she notes, when the time comes for younger members to need more assistance, their relationships already will be established.

HANDLING HEADACHES

BY RICH STOFF

More than 200 types of headaches are listed in the International Classification of Headache Disorders.

That is bad news for people prone to the debilitating effects of throbbing temples, pressure behind the eyes and the myriad of other symptoms associated with this common ailment. The good news: Help is out there in the form of medicines, therapies and lifestyle changes. The goal is to get from being a migraine sufferer to a migraine manager.

S

leep apnea affects almost every family in America. Most people with this condition are instructed to use a mask and hose (CPAP therapy) to force air down the nose and throat. The majority of people told to use a CPAP do not like it and about half stop using the device within a week. Most people are not aware that there is another answer!

Oral appliance therapy is a very successful treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is a comfortable and discreet way to achieve rejuvenating sleep, gain energy during the day and travel comfortably. Today’s oral appliances are over 90% successful and have been recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine since 2006.

“Dr. Smith and her staff are very pleasant. I’m glad I found out about their office and the sleep appliance online. I used a CPAP for eight years and found that it was hard for me to use because it would keep me awake at night. Now I use an oral sleep appliance and I sleep so much better. I enjoy being able to sleep in any position and I feel free because I no longer have to be connected to a machine. The appliance is worth the cost for the improvement in the quality of my life.”

“My life has improved since Dr. Smith made me an oral appliance because now I can breathe at night and I get a better night’s sleep. I used to use a CPAP but I felt claustrophobic and I couldn’t sleep with that machine.

My oral appliance is completely different. It’s easy to travel with, easy to take care of and it doesn’t make any noise! Everyone at Dentistry With TLC is very pleasant and friendly. I’m very satisfied with my experience here.”

HEALTH&BEAUTY

Headache STILL A MYSTERY “Headache is the most common disease in the world. I do not know of a single person who has never had a headache,” says Dr. Ahmed Jafri, a neurologist and headache specialist at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. “And the degree of pain may not necessarily be a sign of the seriousness of the underlying headache or its causes.”

Scientists have been studying headaches for centuries. The first classification was published by Dr. Thomas Willis of London in 1672, but even after more than three centuries, much still remains to be discovered. “The cause of headaches is a big question,” says Dr. Sylvia Awadalla, section head of general neurology at Washington University School of Medicine and a headache specialist. “We suspect there are a number of triggers that release chemicals in the brain, but the cause for that is difficult to determine.”

Even though headaches may seem to flare inside the head, says Jafri, “the pain doesn’t come from the brain. It comes from the scalp, the covering of the brain, and the blood vessels and nerves.”

WHY ME? Tension-type headaches and migraines are called primary headaches because the headache itself is the disorder.

Secondary headaches are less common and follow other conditions such as hypertension, infections, trauma, tumors or hemorrhages.

Doctors may not know why you get headaches, but they do know a list of culprits that trigger primary headaches. “The list is long. Some of the provocateurs are dietary and can include chocolate, red wine, cheese and bananas,” Jafri says. “Some headaches are associated with aversion to certain odors, or to lack of sleep.”

Also, Awadalla adds, “Triggers can be weather changes (rain or fluctuations in temperature), stress, anticipation and anxiety.” If you’re really unlucky, all of the above will affect you.

Ask the Expert

Headaches are something of a mystery to those who get them. What causes them? How can we tell one kind from another? And does it matter, when all we really want is for the pain to stop?

THE HEADACHE SCALE Classifications are based on the part of the head or face affected and the severity and frequency of symptoms. The rare cluster headache, sometimes called the suicide headache, is considered the worst. “It is described as an ice pick being shoved in the eye,” Jafri says.

One of the most common, migraines afflict 18 percent of women and 6 percent of men, totaling 28 million people, according to the American Headache Society. “Genetics play a part—close to 90 percent of people who have migraine headaches have family members who are affected,” says Awadalla. “On average, they happen one to two times a week, but more often for some people. Those suffering eight a month are in the category of chronic migraines.”

Migraine headache is characterized as a throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, says the National Headache Foundation. Attacks last four to 72 hours and may include nausea, vomiting and light sensitivity.

Migraines can offer warnings, Jafri says: an aura or a prodrome, a feeling of weakness or tiredness up to days before the headache. Good news: An approaching migraine can be blocked by a type of medication known as triptan.

NO SILVER BULLETS Headache treatment requires a delicate balance. “When people use pain medication frequently, they can get rebound headaches,” Jafri says. And medicine overuse can cause liver, kidney, heart or stomach problems, Awadalla warns.

Secondary headaches may be red flags that warrant an immediate trip to an emergency room. Severe headaches in older people should be taken more seriously, too, because this population is predisposed to other diseases.

Question:

My eyes have a constant dry, scratchy feeling—like irritating grains of sand that won’t go away. What can be causing this?

Answer:

Todd Margolis, MD, PhD

Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences

Center for Advanced Medicine Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital South County Eye Center

(314) 362-EYES

The term “dry eye” is frequently used to describe any form of ocular surface disease that causes discomfort. Less than 5% of patients given the diagnosis of dry eye are actually not making enough tears. The majority of patients have some other form of ocular surface disease, such as ocular rosacea, medication toxicity or exposure. Some even have neuropathic pain. Patients who complain of excessive tearing (tears running down their face) do not have dry eye, but some other form of ocular surface irritation.

Many forms of dry eye are more common in women, and all are worse in dry climates. Any task that reduces blinking, such as reading or computer use, will aggravate all forms of dry eye. Dry eye can also be worsened by a number of systemic medications, including decongestants, tranquilizers and anti-depressants.

People with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, may also develop dry eye. In Sjogren’s syndrome, the disease attacks the body’s tear and salivary glands, causing dry eye and dry mouth. A complete physical examination may diagnose any underlying diseases.

Artificial tears, which lubricate the eye, are the first line therapy for many forms of dry eye. They provide symptomatic relief, but do not treat the underlying problem. Artificial tears are available over-the-counter as eye drops. Sterile lubricating ointments are sometimes used at night. Using humidifiers, wearing wrap-around glasses when outside, and avoiding windy and dry conditions may also bring relief.

For people with severe cases of dry eye, temporary or permanent closure of the puncta (small opening at the inner corner of the eyelid where tears drain from the eye) may be helpful.

The first step in determining treatment is a thorough examination of the eye lids, conjunctiva and cornea. This evaluation will reveal the true source of ocular discomfort.

Sinuses, Allergies & Headaches We’ve all heard of a sinus headache. Sinus passages inhabit all the areas of the face where headache pressure is felt, so it’s no surprise that we can’t always tell whether our discomfort should be blamed on sinus irritation or headache. It will take an expert to sort it out.

THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG? “There are so many reasons for headaches, and they overlap so many other conditions,” says Dr. Hamsa N. Subramanian, an allergist and immunologist at Signature Medical Group in Creve Coeur. “Treatment depends on a very good history and finding what is triggering the chronic headache.”

Many people believe their headaches are triggered by sinus and nasal disease. “In my practice, headaches are mentioned by almost every other patient who comes in,” Subramanian says. True sinus headaches, however, are rare, she says. “Allergies by themselves don’t cause headaches, but nasal congestion and sinus pressure can contribute to headaches. Also, these kinds of headaches mimic a migraine. Should they be treated for allergies? For a sinus infection? Or is it a migraine?”

WHAT IS RHINITIS? Non-allergic rhinitis mimics the symptoms of an allergic disease such as hay fever (stuffy nose and sneezing) but does not activate the immune system. About 19 million Americans have non-allergic rhinitis, versus 58 million who have the allergic form.

“Non-allergic rhinitis sometimes is precipitated by sudden fluctuations in temperature, high humidity and smells,” Subramanian says. “These also can trigger headaches.”

FINDING YOUR TRIGGERS “I go through a checklist systematically,” says Subramanian. “Are you getting enough sleep or too much sleep? Are you hydrated? Dehydration sometimes gives you the feeling of a headache.” Caffeine can play a role if you are consuming too much in beverages or foods or suddenly cut back. People who have sleep apnea or grind their teeth at night also may wake up with headaches.

“If patients have chronic headaches, we have them maintain a log of things such as the foods they eat,” Subramanian says. “We must find their triggers, especially if their headaches are chronic and are affecting their quality of life.”

A CHRONIC CULPRIT The majority of headaches we suffer are classified as the ‘tension-type,’ which the National Headache Foundation describes as “aching and non-pulsating pain (that affects) both sides of the head” and is “usually triggered by temporary stress, anxiety, fatigue or anger.”

“Stress-induced headaches can be caused by all kinds of things that people don’t think about,” says Mark Lumpkin, a massage therapist at the Aquarius Wellness Center for the Healing Arts. Causes can range from wearing contact lenses or dental braces to working at the computer day after day. Tightness originating in the muscles often crawls up the neck all the way to the head and face, Lumpkin says. “We call it a holding pattern. It is the way your body is accustomed to holding itself, day after day.”

DEFINITELY DE-STRESS Massage therapy is a non-pharmaceutical way to relieve stress.

“Massage loosens and relaxes tight muscles in places we can’t reach on our own, especially the back of the neck,” says Lumpkin. “It results in increased blood flow and increased lymph flow, which helps muscle connections become more pliable so it becomes easier to live in your body.”

Yoga and meditation also can help with stress and tightness, he notes. “Yoga, meditation and massage therapy all help people focus on being present in their body and becoming less stressed.” He also recommends aromatherapy, especially at bedtime. “Aroma bypasses all the circuits in the brain and helps people go straight to a place where they can relax and focus on being at ease,” Lumpkin says.

CAUSE & EFFECT “Headaches can cause stress, and stress can cause headaches,” says Priscilla Bass-Timmerberg of Life Transitions Counseling in Webster Groves. “Some people are prone to headaches. When I am seeing someone with anxiety or emotional issues, they probably have headaches about 50 percent of the time.”

Rachel Hasper, M.A., a licensed professional counselor at Rachel Hasper Therapy, says, “There are phases of life than can put us into situations where we are compromised mentally and physically.” And mental stress can lead to physical symptoms.

“When people are suffering chronic stress, depression or anxiety, that may mean their autonomic immune system is in distress,” she says. “They may be having cortisol excreted into their system, which makes muscles feel tight. That leads to tension headaches and shoulder problems. If it happens for a long period of time, it weakens the immune system, as well. Mental health and physical health are extremely integrated.”

A NON-PHARMACEUTICAL FOCUS People who are suffer from significant headache pain should be evaluated by their physician, Hasper says, “but anyone who is suffering from headaches would benefit from unplugging and doing things that make them feel recharged.”

Bass-Timmerberg also recommends lifestyle changes.

“Headaches can be treated with medication, of course, but often with medication there are side effects, so I try to use more natural things,” she says. “I teach about mindfulness—taking your attention off the things that stress you and putting your mind in the moment. Deep breathing is helpful, too, because it releases stress from your body.”

Such techniques, called autogenic training, are aimed at controlling breathing, blood pressure, heartbeat and body temperature to achieve deep relaxation. “Some counselors offer autogenic training and biofeedback to help patients connect the body and mind,” Hasper says. “It takes a lot of work and discipline.” A simpler technique, progressive muscle relaxation, drains the stress from the arms and legs, then the entire body, she says. “When I do this with my clients, I feel my arms and legs become heavy, and my mind and body are calm and peaceful,” she says.

“There are awesome ways to get the body back into alignment and make it much easier to deal with stress,” says Bass-Timmerberg. “Essential oils and aromatherapy can be very relaxing. It takes a little bit of everything.”

MENTAL FITNESS “Prevention is key,” says Hasper. “The more often we do things to feel well and rested, to unload our stress and deal with our emotions, the better off we will be.” A regular exercise program is good for mental health, as well as for fitness, she notes. “Talk with someone you are close to on a regular basis. Do things you enjoy, like gardening, listening to music or playing music.”

Think of mental fitness as you would physical fitness, Hasper suggests. “If you are having physical pain, it is easier to rest, ice and elevate when you have the first signs than to wait until you are in serious pain,” she says. “The same is true for stress management. If I take my daily walk, have a cup of tea with a friend, and go out in the garden or take the kids to the playground, I can decompress and won’t have quite as much stress build-up.”

MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER

BY TONY DI MARTINO

It started seven years ago with a small,

flesh-colored bump on his face. It didn’t seem like a big deal, so business owner Michael Gunter of St. Charles ignored it. He went to a dermatologist when it started to itch, expecting to leave the office with a bandage on his cheek. After a misdiagnosis and a couple of surgeries, he discovered he had a rare form of advanced melanoma that spread rapidly to his lungs, brain, spine and kidneys.

During the next three years, he underwent 25 rounds of radiation and other treatments, but the cancer wouldn’t budge. At one point, his life expectancy was six to nine months.

That’s when Gunter turned to University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. There he met Dr. Patrick Hwu, chair of melanoma and sarcoma medical oncology. “Hwu treated me with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), an innovative type of cellular immunotherapy not yet available in St. Louis,” Gunter says.

Hwu explains, “We took pieces of his tumors to the lab, cloned and grew the immune cells—or killer lymphocytes—and then gave them back to him intravenously. The lymphocytes release proteins that poke holes in cancer cells and cause them to implode. It’s the kiss of death for metastatic melanoma in about half of all patients, and it might be for other types of cancers as well.” The cells ‘recognized’ Gunter’s tumors and went after them like a heat-seeking missile, Hwu notes. “Within days, the tumors started shrinking.”

MD Anderson, established in 1944, is considered a leader in cancer research and care. It has earned the No. 1 ranking in U.S. News & World Report’s ‘America’s Best Hospitals’ survey multiple times, and is repeatedly first in both number and dollars of National Cancer Institute-awarded research grants. “Practice makes perfect in medicine,” says president Dr. Ronald DePinho. “Our specialists offer extensive experience in treating rare and common cancers with leading-edge therapies, a team approach and a care continuum from early detection to survivor support.

We establish standards for cancer treatments, produce groundbreaking discoveries in the laboratory, and develop programs and networks that benefit patients and physicians here and around the world. Lifesaving information and access to the latest clinical trials, like the one that helped Mike, are meant to be shared.”

Among MD Anderson patients, five-year overall survival rates exceed federally reported averages, even though many patients arrive with advanced disease, DePinho notes. “Our Moon Shots program, which brings academia, technology and industry together in an effort to reduce cancer deaths, is the most integrated, comprehensive cancer initiative ever launched by an academic institution.”

There’s a strong relationship between MD Anderson and Missouri, adds DePinho, who will meet with St. Louis medical, business and civic leaders next month.

“More than 10,000 Missourians have sought second opinions, diagnosis and treatment with us,” he says. “If you can’t come to Houston, we can collaborate with your local doctor, or you can seek care at St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau and Ellis Fischel Cancer Center in Columbia, part of the MD Anderson Cancer Network. Many Missouri physicians have trained with us, and hundreds refer patients and pathology samples to us. And we’re a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, which includes Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University.”

Gunter is now considered cancer-free. He sees Hwu twice a year, but all that’s left of his rapidly growing tumors is inactive scar tissue. “The first thing I did when I learned I was OK was shake hands with every single person who works in Anderson’s TIL lab,” Gunter says. “These heroes often work around the clock, because they know there’s someone like me waiting for those lifesaving cells. We fought the good fight together. They gave me my life back.”

T&S HOME 21 DEERFIELD ROAD ] by karyn meyer listing price | $1,995,000 listing agent | susan hurley of janet mcafee real estate WHEN DENNIS AND JENNIFER BARNES WERE LOOKING FOR THEIR FIRST HOUSE

together, convenience of location was at the top of the ‘must-have’ list. The couple, married three years ago, has four children between them, each at a different school. The house on Deerfield Road in Ladue was centrally located, and they loved its proximity to Tilles Park.

“The neighborhood itself is tucked in and fairly private, and we knew there were a lot of families in the community, which was important to us,” Dennis Barnes says. It didn’t take them long to realize they had made the right choice. “Our next door neighbors greeted us on day one with a bottle of wine, and we’ve been great friends ever since,” he says. The couple loves to entertain and host fundraisers, so the open floor plan was another welcome feature.

“The kitchen and hearth room is so open, that’s where people tend to migrate,” Barnes notes. Other popular areas of the house are the theater and game rooms in the lower level, which he and his wife completed after moving in.

“It was already a great home, but we saw potential to make it exactly what we wanted,” he says. Barnes describes the theater room as a ‘jaw-dropping’ experience. The Sound Room installed a cinema-quality, 125inch screen and surround sound and the furnishings are from Amini’s. “The theater room is a big hit to watch any sporting event or movie,” he says. The game room has everything from shuffleboard to ping pong, air hockey and more.

“We wanted it to be a social center for our kids and their friends— and for our friends who still think they’re kids,” Barnes jokes.

The formal living room also got a lot of use when the couple entertained. Barnes says his wife is an excellent pianist, and she often performed for guests on the grand piano. “The master bath was another key feature for us,” he notes.

PHOTOS: STEVEN B. SMITH PHOTOGRAPHY With its limestone flooring, jet tub and walk-in steam shower, it felt like The Ritz-Carlton when he first walked in—and it remains one of the couple’s favorite rooms.

“It’s a wonderful home that in many ways I’m sad to leave,” he says. But once again, it’s all about a convenient location. “The kids will be switching schools, so moving a little further west will be more conducive to that and closer to my office.” And the couple wants to purchase property on the Turks and Caicos islands, where they were married and take yearly vacations with their children.

“My mother always told me I could be whatever I wanted,” recalls Lynn Andel of Laura McCarthy Real Estate. She took Mom’s encouragement to heart and sampled a variety of careers, including marketing in San Francisco, design in Boston, the recordbusinessinWashington,D.C.,andmarketing/ advertising back home in St. Louis, followed by running her own design/consulting firm. But 10 years ago, a friend told her she’d be terrific at real estate, and she’s been at Laura McCarthy ever since. Andel lives in Kirkwood, where she grew up, and has “two wonderful, handsome, bright, 25-year-old twin sons, Zachary and Taylor White.”

HOLLYWOOD’S LOSS, REAL ESTATE’S GAIN As a kid, I vacillated between becoming a

movie star and working with Tony Curtis to being an international business exec who traveled the world making deals. EDUCATION Bachelor’s degree in photography from San Francisco Art Institute; graduate school at Boston University School of Communications. MAKING THE MOVE I was ready for a career that would bring all my talents and every aspect of my background together, and real estate was a perfect fit. FIRST SALE I sold two friends of mine a little box home for just over $100,000, and they transformed it into something special. BIGGEST SALE EVER A Bernoudy home in Town & Country for $3 million. FAVORITE PART OF THE JOB It’s a terrific feeling when your clients love their new place, or are grateful for your efforts to market and sell their home. LEAST FAVORITE People who play games, whether it’s an agent, buyer or seller. Life is too short not to be honest and upfront. IF YOUR HOME’S NOT SELLING A very wise woman in my office, Peggy Liggett, always said, “Price overcomes all objections.” You need intelligence, honesty and a sense of humor to be a successful agent.

CAREER ADVICE Real estate isn’t something you can do part time. It takes planning, patience, great listening skills and finesse to orchestrate a deal and have it come together seamlessly. It’s T PHO TO BY BIL L BAR RET more than a sales job; you’re providing a service.

If you serve your clients well, it only can result in mutual success. BLUE SKIES All indications say the market has improved. Consumer confidence is strong, rates are good and inventory has picked up. SECRET SAUCE I believe in a happy heart and trying to find the best in everyone and everything. LYNN UNPLUGGED What could be more relaxing than sitting outside on a beautiful day with friends and family, enjoying a good laugh and a glass of wine? MAMA’S PRIDE My son Zachary has decided to try his hand at real estate, so I’m really looking forward to that.

[HOMEWORK DEAR HOMEWORK,

How is this for front yard ornamentation? The pillars, attached to each other by chains, are starting to show their age, but my husband and I are not sure how to proceed.

Do we remove them or maybe shorten them? All these options and more have been suggested. If we remove the pillars, what can we do to add interest to the front of the house? If we keep them, how can they be updated—and is that even possible?

BEFORE

——— UNCHAIN MY COLONIAL

DEAR UNCHAIN MY COLONIAL,

AFTER HOMEWORK IS PENNED BY PAUL DOERNER, PRESIDENT, THE LAWRENCE GROUP. IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR HOME CRITIQUED, CONTACT US AT HOMEWORK@TOWNANDSTYLE.COM

I, of course, agree with you that your brick piers are not working. At the moment, they look like a series of tombstones, and the draped chains are ineffective at visually connecting them. At the same time, I often suggest to readers that adding an extra layer to the façade’s architecture can add depth and interest. In this case, a line of clipped yew bushes between the piers turns them into one ‘complete thought,’ while simultaneously blocking the bulky lower half of the parked cars from view.

An element like this also helps step the

architecture into the landscape, allowing the two to work together.

Beyond this, there is a need to break up the ‘horizontality’ of your home. I have planted two tall evergreens to visually break the existing façade into three parts.

A raised portion of the façade draws attention to the entry and gives the long elevation a sense of composition.

To me, your house now looks more balanced and updated … without changing much at all.

Hope this is useful, ———HOMEWORK
