P
remier Prosthetics not only provides its patients with the highest level of convenience and care; their certified prosthetists are at the forefront of emerging technologies and practices that have a direct impact on their patients’ quality of life. One such patient, Kelly Prince, underwent a procedure called osseointegration that is a major advancement in amputation surgery in the U.S. Prince, 54, was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2011. After multiple surgeries, he underwent a transfemoral amputation to remove his leg above the knee. He began working with Premier Prosthetics prosthetist Matt Ruengert after his amputation, using a traditional socket prosthetic. A few years ago, Prince’s orthopedic oncologist mentioned osseointegration surgery as a revolutionary new procedure that, at the time, was only being done overseas. The procedure involves using a metal rod implant directly anchored to the residual bone, which is then attached to a prosthetic limb using a transcutaneous connector through a small opening in the skin. While traditional prosthetics require users to wrap the residual limb in a “shrinker” to fit into the prosthetic socket, osseointegration allows the prosthetic to simply and quickly snap on to the connector. The implant being anchored to the residual bone allows for a more natural control of that bone and the prosthetic leg.
KELLY PRINCE
A team in Denver, Colorado was the first in the U.S. to begin doing trials of the surgery, and Prince was one of only five patients to be accepted in the trial. After being accepted, the prosthetist on the team in Denver began talking to Ruengert at Premier about what Prince’s needs would be when he returned. “Matt has been awesome,” Prince says. “I was very fortunate because, with some of the other people in the trial, their home prosthetists wouldn’t touch it
… with some of the other people in the trial, their home prosthetists wouldn’t touch it because they were afraid; but Matt was like bring it on.
because they were afraid; but Matt was like bring it on.” He underwent the two-stage surgery in 2019. When he returned to St. Louis, the prosthetist in Denver would FaceTime with Ruengert while Prince was there to discuss what they needed moving forward. Prince continues to meet with Ruengert regularly to make small tweaks. He calls the team at Premier Prosthetics his “medical family.” Prince says the benefits of not having a traditional socket prosthetic are immeasurable—primarily being free of the pain and skin irritation it would often cause him. “I had so much nerve pain that I sometimes would be lucky to walk 1,000 steps a day,” he says. “Now, it’s nothing for me to get 12,000 to 15,000 steps in. I can take it on and off in seconds, and it lines up the same way every time. It’s such a quality of life enhancement.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF FORSYTH SCHOOL
FORSYTH SCHOOL
by stephanie wallace THERE ARE CERTAIN BIRTHDAYS that are a little more special than others, and this year is one of those for Forsyth School as it celebrates 60 years of educational excellence. Since 1961, the independent elementary school has been dedicated to providing children with an engaging and challenging educational experience that encourages confidence, courage and resilience. However, the school isn’t marking the milestone by simply dwelling on its history. It’s also starting an exciting new chapter with the appointment of Robert Butler as head of school. While Butler comes to Forsyth from his most recent position at University Liggett School in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, he has previous experience working in St. Louis private schools. While working in the admissions department for an independent secondary school, he was first introduced to Forsyth through its graduates. “The students I got to interview had all of the tools necessary to be successful, and that stood out in the admissions process,” he says. “They also weren’t an homogenous group. They all had unique passions and interests but notably shared a sense of self awareness and were willing to advocate for themselves.” Being familiar with the caliber of students at Forsyth, Butler was excited to visit the campus when he was being considered for the head of school position. Touring the classrooms, he saw that teachers and staff were dedicated to creating an environment where students could feel safe and secure. He knew it was an educational community he wanted to be a part of. “The feel of the campus was so unique; it blew me away,” he says. “Starting from a place of comfort and security allows children to push and challenge themselves. It’s the key to unlocking everything that comes after, and Forsyth understands that.”
HEAD OF SCHOOL ROBERT BUTLER WITH FREDDY FALCON AND GRADE FIVE STUDENTS
Forsyth’s anniversary offers the school a unique opportunity to reflect upon what has made it successful while also looking ahead to its future. “I’m really excited to be in a place where there not only has been so much good work done, but there’s also a strategic vision for what learning and teaching should look like in the 21st century,” Butler says. “So much wonderful history has been established, and I’m looking forward to taking that work and elevating it to another level.” To help Forsyth grow, Butler has plans to support the school’s mission, vision and values. One area he’s looking forward to focusing on is the diversity and equitability of the community and culture. “At Forsyth, we go beyond just buzzwords,” he notes. “It’s meaningful work that helps prepare students for secondary school and beyond. They have the mindset to celebrate diversity and inclusivity, and we want them to understand that it is both our differences and our similarities that make us stronger together.” Butler is excited to build upon the legacy Forsyth has established in its six decades of experience. “Mary Dunbar founded Forsyth with the principle that every child should be known and nurtured,” Butler says. “That’s a strong point of connection for us. We’re looking at what it means 60 year later, and we want to find out what it looks like going forward for the next 60.” &

What are you going to do with that obsolete TV set, computer monitor and tower, cellphone, microwave or other old and tired electronic device? Anyhow, dear reader, you know better than to throw anything like that, even your intermittently functioning Walkman from 1989, in the trash, right? (Too bad it still has that Vanilla Ice disc trapped inside. We’ll try real hard to feel your pain.) This weekend—Saturday, Oct. 23 from 9 a.m. to noon—U. City is having another insanely popular electronics recycling event at Heman Park Community Center, 975 Pennsylvania Ave. The first 100 TVs or monitors are free to recycle. Since ‘FREE’ is always the first word anybody sees or hears, a half hour before a previous event hundreds of cars were backed up along Delmar Boulevard in both directions. Note: Only one free item will be accepted per vehicle. Anything else is for the good of the environment, since it won’t get dumped in a landfill. Nearly any device with an electrical cord attached is good to go: power tools, DVD players, coffeemakers, digital clock radios, video game controllers and/or systems, AC units, etc., etc., etc. Oh, yeah—VCRs and fax machines, too. Have any of you used either of those since, well, some time before Y2K?

If you don’t like what you heard about remedies for COVID-19 this morning, it’s kind of like predicting weather in The Lou. Just wait 15 more minutes, or maybe till tomorrow. Oy, gevalt. Two of the latest wrinkles: a pill under consideration by the FDA, and a new scientific theory that contracting the virus may be just as effective as being vaccinated at promoting herd immunity. OK, fine. But, no thanks. Give me a poke in the arm anytime. We’ve both had two shots of the Moderna vaccine. That must be better than being unconscious in a hospital with a ventilator down my throat. We’re one of those families that believe in the Moderna vaccine’s efficacy, reportedly even greater than Pfizer’s. But the latter vaccine manufacturer has widely rolled out its booster already. And we’re drumming our fingers on the table, impatiently looking and listening for any news about a Moderna booster. I mean, c’mon, scientists. This was already the shortest distance between virus discovery to vaccine in history. Researchers: Lose some more sleep, already. We’re dying here.

If you didn’t watch the Ken Burns series, Country Music, on Channel Nine last year, you don’t know what you missed. This is coming from an inveterate rocker who’d still rather listen to Led Zeppelin than anything—my wife, a Beatles fan since she saw them Feb. 9, 1964, on Ed Sullivan, took herself to see Paul McCartney as her 60th birthday present. I wisely bought her the Burns series DVD package last Christmas, when she couldn’t stream it every night to chill out anymore. We learned all the skinny on progenitors of the genre like the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers, giants like Johnny Cash and Dolly, and that 1990s arena-filler, Garth Brooks. We’re looking forward to seeing Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives this Friday, Oct. 22, at The Sheldon. We know from Ken Burns that he’d played mandolin with Bill Monroe’s band since he was a wee one; the term ‘bluegrass’ hadn’t been coined all that long before his time. Stuart was one of the more able on-camera narrators during all 16 hours of Country Music. Another key figure was ‘little’ Ricky Skaggs, also a prodigy back in the day and still a giant of the genre as a somewhat bigger boy. There may still be some great seats available for his band’s show 8 p.m. next Friday, Oct. 29, at River City Casino & Hotel down yonder in Mehlville, a tad more than a stone’s throw from the southernmost part of south St. Louis. Tickets are available at Metrotix.

A warm and poignant comedy written by Neil Simon, arguably America’s premier comic playwright, is playing Nov. 4 through Nov. 21 at Black Box Theatre in the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center. Directed by Edward M. Coffield, Jake’s Women offers a hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships. Synopsis: Jake, a novelist who’s more successful with fiction than in his hapless life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic, and sometimes moving, flashbacks playing in his mind are interrupted by visitations from women he has known and loved. Jake’s women, both then and now, include his revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man and a prospective third wife. Come to think of it, we really need to order the 1996 film starring Alan Alda from Netflix. You should, too. Then we could have some coffee and talk. But I digress. I, for one, am grateful live theater is crawling back onstage! Visit moonstonetheatrecompany.com.

LAST ISSUE’S Q&A INSTEAD OF GETTING VACCINATED to fight off COVID-19, many people are taking hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. What are those drugs actually approved to treat?
For how long had the Cardinals recently broken winning streak stood, and how many games in a row had it been back then? Alas and alack! At this writing, it’s the Dodgers still in contention for the world championship. Our beloved hometown team dropped the only game of the season that really counted, a one-game playoff to L.A. Even the nerdiest statisticians—elsewhere, that is—couldn’t give a rat’s whisker about the Cards’ 17-game winning streak this season, a club record that had been undisturbed since 1935 at 15 straight victories.
TOWN TALK
webster groves Several well-established businesses and a Black church have found themselves in or just outside a redevelopment area of Webster Groves that would keenly feel the impact of Douglass Hill, a proposed $320 million multi-use project on 15 acres the city has dubbed Old Webster North. This annoys Ben Hilliker, to put it mildly. Yes, he has some skin in the game: a rehabbed office building in the proposal’s footprint, which for all intents and purposes has been blighted by the city. Any approved project would likely mean the building’s demolition, that tenant Webster Window would need to find showroom space elsewhere, and an adjacent lot for a planned expansion would be graded for construction. We must note, politely, that businesses set to be razed or lose most of their parking are quite literally ‘on the other side of the tracks.’ Old Community Baptist Church, down the hill on West Kirkham at North Gore, would be spared, but proposed apartment and condo buildings of five to seven stories would essentially wall it off from Webster proper. Up on Pacific Avenue is a 20,000-square-foot former warehouse where for more than 25 years thousands of kids have gained skills and built confidence at the nonprofit St. Louis Gymnastics Center. Board chair Harry Cheatham points out: “The Supreme Court may have ruled that eminent domain is legal—but didn’t say it was right. There’s a higher authority here: The people.” A petition asking the city to put the issue to a vote has more than 600 signatures; only 400 are needed. Of course, Cheatham and Hilliker are only two of the business owners opposed to Webster’s intent for the tract. No novice, Hilliker has been in commercial real estate since 1973. He lives in Richmond Heights, but often chooses Webster neighborhoods for his hour-plus daily walks. Many residents feel the community’s smalltown ambience could be lost forever. Character is hard to replace. And Hilliker has plenty, having absorbed much of his ethics and business sense from
his father, Frank T. Hilliker, who worked in view of the Old Post Office, an architectural wonder that has graced downtown since the mid-1800s. People who knew him in the 1960s say he worked tirelessly to save this compelling landmark from the wrecking ball, as the city had planned a more utilitarian government building for 815 Olive St. “Were it not for my father, the Old Post Office would probably be gone,” says Hilliker, who started his career in dad’s food-service design business. He learned a unique way to treat employees: “He never told me I did something wrong. He’d say, ‘Why not consider doing it this way instead?’” After leaving his father’s employ, cutting his teeth in commercial real estate with Bakewell Corp. for 12 years, he established his namesake firm in 1985 and remains CEO. So, this isn’t his first rodeo: The proposal that Hilliker, Cheatham et al. oppose encompasses 700-some apartments, 100 condominiums and 100,000-plus square feet of retail and commercial space. It would exacerbate traffic on both Gore and Rock Hill at busy railroad crossings and all but eliminate parking for Rolling Ridge Nursery, established as a feed store in 1893. Douglass Hill remains under consideration by the city, with no decision expected until November. Cheatham notes that Webster sent out 20 RFPs. Two were returned. A city official at the last council meeting was heard to say: “A bad plan is better than no plan.” OK, then. You may not be familiar with Hilliker’s building at 55 Lincoln St. in North Webster, nor the one in Washington, Missouri. But chances are you’ve noticed the one across from Walmart on Hanley Road, formerly Wallace Pencil. It’s 70,000 square feet; an additional 20,000 housed old industrial equipment—wood kiln, boiler. “It’s been a lot of fun,” he says. And, to answer the question on the tip of your tongue, Hilliker grew up in south city and walked to Roosevelt High School. He graduated in 1955.

issouri is home to numerous research institutions conducting innovative medical and scientific research each year. The Missouri Cures Education Foundation is dedicated to shining a spotlight on that work by promoting and protecting medical advances that keep Missourians healthy and stimulate the state’s economy. It also hosts annual Women in Science, Entrepreneurship & Research (WISER) events, which highlight the achievements of women in science, technology and business. Dena Ladd, Missouri Cures Education Foundation president, says the idea for WISER came from her experience working with researchers across the state. “The latest statistics show that women only make up 28% of the workforce in these careers,” she explains. “Traveling around Missouri, I’ve met
so many amazing people. I wanted to bring women together to share the opportunities and challenges they face in their fields.”

OCTOBER 20, 2021
Due to the pandemic, WISER pivoted to virtual seminars to connect people last year, and those webinars continued into 2021. To cap off the year, WISER Conversations will be held at noon Nov. 5 via Zoom. The Refresh, Refuel, Refocus: Create a Work/Life Balance seminar is designed to address the stress caused by the last year and a half. “Everyone has been feeling a little anxious and exhausted,” Ladd says. “We wanted to end the year on a positive note and focus on wellness and balance, so everyone goes into 2022 feeling rejuvenated and ready to go.” The seminar’s keynote speaker is Kim Becking, president of Momentum Motivation and a breast cancer survivor. WISER also is partnering with local nonprofit The Fit and Food Connection. Co-founder and co-director Joy Millner will present Mindfulness Moment to help people destress, and the nonprofit’s other co-founder and co-director Gabrielle Cole, will participate in the panel discussion.“We have some great female entrepreneurs as panelists,” Ladd says.
TOWN TALK
More Success with Less Family Stress For the Parents of College-Bound Children with Learning Challenges
“The discussion will deal with finding work/life balance, and we hope people will come out of the seminar feeling refreshed and positive about their careers and families.” Panelists include Stephanie Reganon of Danforth Plant Science Center; Jamila Owens-Todd, Ph.D., of Golden Grocer and adjunct professor at Saint Louis University; and Kelly Fischer of Benson Hill. To help further connect people and share news about local innovations, Missouri Cures Education Foundation also has cultivated an extensive social media presence, sharing stories on its platforms, and WISER has a Facebook group to help women network. The nonprofit also hosts Lunch with a Researcher virtual events, which bring together experts to discuss topics like COVID-19, diabetes and precision medicine. “It’s
a great opportunity to get insight in various subjects and learn about recent research,” Ladd says. For more information about WISER and to register for the Nov. 5 virtual seminar, visit missouricures.org/wiser. &

Students, faculty and parents gathered with Frontenac first responders and an honor guard from the Kirkwood American Legion to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and dedicate a new flagpole donated by the school’s fathers’ club. Remarks were made by current president of the fathers’ club and former Marine, Mark Westphale, and senior Kathleen Dolan sang the national anthem. The event was followed by a softball game between St. Joseph’s Academy and Westminster Christian Academy.

Siddique was recognized for her community service during the pandemic. She organized a fabric donation drive to increase access to masks, and after the event, she was able to make more than 800 to donate to food banks and schools. She also created information cards on the proper way to wear a mask and other safety protocols, held educational workshops for elementary students and developed a video on COVID-19 safety awareness that was used by the Parkway School District.

THE ART OF FORGIVENESS FORGIVENESS IS LINKED TO mental health outcomes such
as reduced anxiety and depression. Yet, we spend very little time educating children about this concept. Unforgiveness results in resentment, bitterness, anger, hatred and fear, and every time you recall the hurtful event, you re-experience the stress response to it. Children and adults who are able to let go of angry feelings when they’ve been wronged experience greater psychological well-being, with stress release probably the chief factor in this outcome. “No matter how much dirt you throw at someone else, you will always be dirtier.” - Unknown “An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” - Gandhi So how can we teach our children to be more forgiving? First, by helping them become aware of the costs to them when they don’t pardon others. When they hold onto anger and hurt, it causes them to be unhappy and more vulnerable to being triggered by that person or similar experiences. Girls I work with sometimes hold onto old feelings and grudges for years, and it definitely affects their mood and behavior. This awareness might lead them to decide to forgive and move on. Teach kids that forgiveness is an internal process that doesn’t require them to talk to the offender; it’s “for giving” them the freedom to let go and move forward. What you are actually saying is, “I’m tired of holding onto negative feelings; I set you free, and I set myself free.” You are not saying that what they did was OK; it’s more about letting go of your feelings and reactions to the offense. Remind your children they always have total control over their emotions and reactions to events. Pardoning others is not a superiority thing, as if you are God forgiving others below you. It’s also not about being right. It’s about your insides being right and the relationship getting back on track. What they will experience is space opening up for growth, closeness and happiness because they free up energy that used to go to anger and fears.

“My enemy is someone whose stories I don’t know.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I teach kids and teens that the easiest way to forgive is to never condemn. If you never condemn others, there is no need to forgive. Guide kids to get in the other person’s shoes and see the situation from their perspective to replace negative emotions with empathy, understanding, compassion and love. Help them remember that their offending friend is not perfect, and neither are they. Girls in particular need to learn not to take things so personally, not to allow themselves to get triggered by others and to let things go. The world could certainly use more compassion, understanding and love. Forgiveness is one tool that we know works, so make sure your children have it in their toolbox. & TIM JORDAN, M.D., IS A BEHAVIORAL PEDIATRICIAN WHO WORKS WITH GIRLS IN GRADE SCHOOL THROUGH COLLEGE.

Q: I have an interview for a new job, which will be conducted virtually. I’m a bit rusty and haven’t been interviewed in almost 10 years and certainly not by Zoom. Any tips on landing a job virtually? A: What’s most important for a successful Zoom interview will depend on your advance preparation. This should include addressing technical details, anticipating interview questions, rehearsing your responses, and dealing with details such as your wardrobe, lighting and backdrop. 1. Deal with Technical Details in Advance Before your interview, check your audio and video. For instance, so many people get tripped up because they think their mic is on when it’s actually on mute. If you see a red diagonal line over your mic icon, you’re muted, and your interviewer is not only going to be less than impressed but also won’t be able to hear you. 2. Log on Zoom Interview Early Chances are you will be a bit nervous so it’s best to log on to Zoom a few minutes before your interview time. This also will provide an opportunity for a final video check to ensure your wardrobe, hair, backdrop, etc., are in order

3. Zoom Interview Questions Anticipate possible questions such as: Why you want the job; your past successes and failures; where you see yourself five years from now; what skill sets you bring to the job. Finally, have a few questions to ask about the company. Acing the interview will depend on how well-prepared you are and, again, how you look and sound.
4. Zoom Interview Answers. Possible responses to the above interview questions: ➻ You applied for the job to explore new challenges for your career development. Share specifics and positives about the company that show you’ve done your homework. ➻ Provide a specific example of a past success and an example of a challenge with less than promising results and what you did to turn that problem around. ➻ Down the road you look forward to a successful track record to continue to help the company noting some company successes. ➻ Share the number of years of experience you bring to the job in your field of expertise. Cite specific skill sets that highlight your resume and anything else you feel is relevant. 5. Zoom Interview Tips ➻ Choose a quiet, secluded spot in your home with adequate lighting. ➻ Check your internet connection for lags or interruptions. ➻ Use a clean background. Avoid virtual backgrounds. ➻ Dress professionally (yes, wear pants). Because Zoom calls can wash out facial features, particularly for women, consider using makeup foundation along with eyeliner and mascara. If you need help, department store makeup counters provide complimentary consultations. Video calls can be a great way to conduct an interview remotely. Bottom line: Be sure to look into the camera to connect with your interviewer, exude confidence and above all, believe in yourself.

A COMMUNITY EFFORT BY ST E P H A N I E WA L L AC E
OCTOBER IS ALMOST OVER, and the holiday season is fast approaching. If you’re looking to start checking items off of your shopping list a little early, make sure you pick up a Glennon Card. Every fall, the initiative offers St. Louisans a chance to show some love to children in need while also supporting great local businesses. Proceeds from card sales go toward key health initiatives for patients at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. This year’s Glennon Card shopping period runs through Oct. 24. With the purchase of a $60 card, shoppers get 20% savings at more than 270 stores, restaurants and service providers. “It’s a unique program because it involves the entire community,” says Lauren Storment, senior annual philanthropy coordinator for SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation. “It’s amazing to watch the participating businesses and shoppers come together to support the hospital.” Glennon Card is presented by the foundation and Glennon Guild, a women’s auxiliary with more than 300 members. This year, one of the initiatives benefiting from the program is Danis Pediatric Center, which offers outpatient pediatric care to children regardless of their families’ ability to pay. The center hosts 20,000 patient visits annually at it’s two locations at Cardinal Glennon and in midtown. The families who visit the clinic are extremely diverse, with nearly 20 languages represented, and more than 75% live below the poverty line. “Danis Pediatric Center serves the region’s most vulnerable children, and its services also address the needs of entire families,” Storment says.“It goes above and beyond just pediatric care.” Along with health care, Danis Pediatric Center offers complimentary programs to support families. These include special services to help internationally-adopted, refugee and immigrant children as well as parenting resources and programs for foster children. The center also works with organizations like St. Louis Area Diaper Bank and Operation Food Search to supply families with necessary resources, and its Danis CARES program offers more support, including help coordinating transportation and providing access to social workers and family navigators. “The center works to address the social determinants to health, such as poverty, food insecurity, mental health and language barriers,” Storment notes. “These services really help make sure parents can provide the best care for their children.” The Glennon Card program also has supported initiatives like Cardinal Glennon’s milk lab, the Reach Out and Read program, the 3D Printing Center of Excellence, and a number of enhancements to patient areas and different programs at the hospital. Storment notes that these are improvements Cardinal Glennon would not have been able to make easily without the support of St. Louisans. “We couldn’t do it without the community,” she says. “Not counting this year, Glennon Card has raised $1.87 million. We are so grateful for everything that the community does to support this awesome program and Cardinal Glennon.” &

jack flaherty
WHAT ARE THREE COMMON FA SHION DISA STERS? The way stuff fits. You could have a really nice suit , and I could have a $100 one, but if my fit is better than yours, ever ybody is going to ask where I got mine and wonder what you’re thinking. Another one is the wrong shoes. Ever ybody ’s different though. I see some guys wearing stuff that looks good on them. Then, I put it on, and I can’ t wear it . It ’s just not me. The other mistake would be tr ying too much— too many accessories, too much layering, too much tr ying to fit a st yle or trend instead of being yourself. Fashion is trendy, and things go in and out . If you play to a trend, you get away from being yourself. You stop looking like you.
With each Off the Cuff, we tr y to share some insight into notable people who have made their mark on St . Louis, but unfor tunately, it ’s impossible for us to include it all. So this issue, we’ ve decided to share some of the awesome answers that we couldn’ t the first time around.

WHAT OTHER SPORTS OR ACTIVITIES DO YOU FOLLOW AND PARTICIPATE IN? I consider myself an avid golfer when I have time, and on weekends, I tune into the Golf Channel. That ’s about it for going out of my way to watch something that is not baseball. There is so much time spent at the ballpark , traveling and at games. When I’m at home, I tr y to be more of a husband and father than focused on going to or watching the nex t spor ting event .

YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ST. LOUIS? My kids already were embedded in the communit y and had a ton of friends here. I always think of things with the end in mind. The Rams were here when I retired, so it helped with my transition. It was an easy decision. St . Louis is a great place to raise a family.

COVER STORY SSM HEALTH
by stephanie wallace IN THE UNITED STATES, 13% OF WOMEN WILL DEVELOP BREAST CANCER at some point. It’s the second most common cancer among women, and the American Cancer Society estimates that more than 280,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2021 alone. It’s crucial that women of all ages are aware of their breast health, and early detection is the best defense against breast cancer. To help ensure every patient has the best possible outcome, SSM Health offers comprehensive and compassionate care at its breast health centers, which provide screening through surgery. “Women need to know that annual screening saves the most lives from breast cancer death,” says Dr. Kate Appleton, a SSM health breast radiologist. “You shouldn’t pass on the opportunity to get a mammogram because the benefits are substantial.” It’s recommended that women start receiving an annual mammogram at age 40, and she notes that it’s also important that people know their personal breast cancer risk. “Get an assessment before you turn 30,” she explains. “Individuals with elevated risk benefit from supplemental screening. A mammogram alone often is not enough, and additional testing with breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be appropriate. Knowing your risk helps ensure that you’re getting the right test at the right time.” If women have questions, SSM Health’s breast health program is dedicated to helping them navigate the screening process. Appleton notes that all SSM Health breast centers provide comprehensive screening and diagnostic imaging, including breast exams, digital and 3D mammograms, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and stereotactic biopsy. The imaging specialists are all experts in breast health who have received additional training in the field. “We’re not doing general radiology; we’re 100% focused on breast imaging,” she says. “We have a passion for what we do.

Thanks to our experience and expertise, our patients can be reassured that they will receive the compassionate care they need.” SSM Health radiologists work closely with breast surgeons, creating another level of convenience for patients. If someone requires a biopsy or other surgery following a screening, an expert is on-hand in the same center to consult and help schedule the necessary follow-up appointments. “Having more services located in one space means we can offer seamless care from beginning to end,” Appleton says. “With a dedicated breast center, we can take forward-thinking, collaborative care to the next level.” While SSM Health breast centers are focused on imaging and surgery, providers have the necessary resources to help patients access additional care they may require, such as chemotherapy or radiation. There is no question that breast health and the risk of cancer is a daunting prospect. Appleton says the team at SSM Health is dedicated to providing people every possible advantage in their care, including peace of mind. “As a whole, we are fully committed to taking care of the total patient and their family,” she notes. “When patients visit one of our breast care centers, from the moment they check in at the front desk until the end of their appointment, everyone is committed to offering them an excellent experience backed up by clinical expertise.” &

GET TO KNOW by stephanie wallace
CATHERINE CAMPBELL
where i’m from … I’m originally from Ontario in southern California—not to be confused with Canada. I went to Cal Poly Paloma and studied theater production and education. From there, I’ve worked in Washington D.C., New York, Los Angeles and Minnesota.
THE REP
how i discovered theater … I sort of fell into it in high school. Originally, I wanted to be a chef with my own Food Network show, but my school didn’t offer home economics, so I couldn’t do a cooking class. My best friend asked me to do theater with her instead. I started with acting, but I found my place behind the scenes. It worked better for me than being in the spotlight. My friend isn’t even in the theater now, but I’m so thanksful she introduced me to it. It helped pave my path, and I don’t know where I would be otherwise. my favorite thing about theater … I love being able to present new works, share unique voices and explore ideas differently than you can in other media. There’s just something about diving into a new piece and bringing the playwright’s and designers’ visions to life. You get to experience the production process from beginning to end. There are moments where you don’t believe everything can come together, and then weeks later, those concerns seem like nothing. It’s a wonderful collaborative process, and at the end, you get to see the energy coming from the audience. During the pandemic, I missed the thrills and chills of live theater. what i do … The director of production oversees all the different designers and departments that execute the design. It’s like the nucleus of production that makes sure all the behind-the-scenes stuff happens properly—the center that makes sure everything happens on time and in budget. It’s a balancing act of time, money and people. i think a performance should … It should still be thought provoking and impactful after the curtain closes. I really hope that audiences don’t just walk away thinking it was a nice show and then forget about it. I want to start a conversation that makes them dig deeper, whether that’s examining something uncomfortable about their lives or analyzing the way they do things. Theater can allow us to insert ourselves into experiences other than our own and connect with impactful issues in a unique way. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE REPERTORY THEATRE OF ST. LOUIS
CATHERINE CAMPBELL’S THEATRICAL JOURNEY has taken her across the
United States. She has worked on productions for some of the nation’s most esteemed companies and venues including the Hollywood Bowl, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Columbia University and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Art. Now, she’s taking on the StL as the new director of production at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.
what i’m looking forward to at the rep … I’ll be collaborating with outstanding designers, and I can’t wait to see their work and help make it come to life. The leadership at The Rep is making exciting steps to reshape how we look at theater and magnify voices of color. We’re looking at how to step into a new generation of performance that challenges audiences and pushes designers to think outside of the box. a memorable production i worked on … My last production before coming to St. Louis was called Autonomy. It was a huge installation, and people drove golf carts to nine different performances that focused on themes like climate change, immigration and the possibility of a pandemic. This was pre-COVID so it was like the writer saw the future. The beauty of the show was that it was so challenging. It wasn’t the typical theatrical production, and I had to learn how to make art travel with people. It was nuts. There were times I thought my artistic director was insane, but once I saw it all come together, I totally understood. my initial impression of the stl … It’s interesting—I’m still investigating things. I’ve been to the botanical garden, zoo and arch, and I’m really looking forward to exploring the arts scene.

hen it comes to real estate, we’re experiencing a time of historic demand and competition. The market can shift in the blink of an eye, and it’s more important than ever for buyers and sellers to work with experienced agents who can help them navigate these unprecedented circumstances. Sabrina Robb Partners of Keller Williams Luxury Saint Louis helps clients manage the stress and anxiety that comes with the home buying and selling process. Sabrina Robb has more than 18 years of experience as a real estate agent. She notes the current market is unlike anything she’s seen locally or nationally, including during the lead up to the mortgage crisis in 2006. “It’s been an interesting market, and this year, we’ve seen a strong showing for sellers,” she says. “So far this year, the market has favored sellers, fueled by favorable interest rates and a lack of inventory. While this dynamic created particular challenges for first-time homebuyers, I have noticed increased pressure on all parties involved in a transaction.” Even though the market may favor sellers, Robb cautions that
it’s still crucial that homes are brought to market at the correct price, and are staged and ready to show. “It’s important that you take the correct steps for marketing so the property is met with interest and excitement,” she explains. “For buyers, it’s necessary that you have everything lined up, such as

financing and your pre-approval letter, because it’s still so competitive. We are seeing that the market is slowing down from what we experienced in the first half of the year, but there continues to be low inventory. It’s complicated for everyone. Sellers often are experiencing both sides of the transaction. If their home sells quickly, they may have to find a new house on an abbreviated timeline.” To help meet clients’ needs, Sabrina Robb Partners’ team features real estate professionals with different areas of expertise. “Our team members have diverse backgrounds, which is a real strength for us.
Our mission is to deliver exceptional service and a luxury experience at every price point.
The buyers and sellers we serve benefit from our marketing, client service and transaction specialists,” Robb says. “Our mission is to deliver exceptional service and a luxury experience at every price point.” The team also benefits from its association with Keller Williams. The real estate company has been building a strong showing in the luxury market with 1,800 international agents listing properties at or above the $1-million price point. While Keller Williams has a global reach, Robb and her team have strong local roots and understand the ins and outs of the St. Louis market. She notes that there are many things that make St. Louis unique. “There are so many municipalities, and each neighborhood has its own community feel,” she explains. “Saint Louis is an affordable place to live compared to other cities, and offers a wide range of amenities and cultural activities. I especially enjoy showing out-oftown buyers all that our community has to offer.”

OCTOBER 20, 2021
Halloween brings lots of sugary goodies for kiddos—and adults. The threat of tooth decay can be as scary as anything that goes bump in the night, but you don’t have to hang up your costume and trick-or-treating bucket because of it. Kids and adults can still enjoy all of the sweet things spooky season has to offer. By taking a few simple precautions, you and your family won't need to be frightened by the possibility of cavities.
SUGAR AND CAVITIES We all know that sugar causes cavities. But, how exactly? Cavities are formed by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. Your saliva helps wash it away, but when you have sugary foods or drinks, the bacteria also consumes the sugar. This causes it to produce an acid, which weakens your enamel and causes tooth decay. Cavities are most common among children, but changes that come with aging can make them a problem in adulthood as well. Recession of the gums and gum disease can expose the roots of your teeth to plaque. The roots are covered in a softer tissue than enamel called cementum. This makes them more susceptible to decay. If you had cavities filled as a child, the area round the filling may be weaker and more vulnerable as well.
IN THE CANDY BOWL Regular oral hygiene means you can enjoy candy and other treats without too much worry about tooth decay. However, it still can’t hurt to make smart choices when taking your pick from the candy bowl. Not all sugary snacks have the same effect on your teeth.
Choocol Ch ola ate te�� ⇨ Perhaps the most popular type of candy passed out on Halloween, chocolate treats actually offer less potential for dental problems, making them a good choice. Chocolate washes off your teeth easily. It also usually has less sugar and acid than other candies, and dark chocolate has even less sugar than milk varieties. Gumm mmy y candy� ⇨ On the opposite end of
the spectrum, gummy and sticky candies are among the worst for your teeth. They are often made entirely of sugar and are harder to clean off, which gives cavity-causing bacteria more time to feed off what’s left behind.
Hard candy� ⇨ These treats come with
their own hazards for your teeth. Crunching on them can cause you to break a tooth, and if you opt to suck on them, you’ll keep the candy in your mouth for longer, causing the sugar to mix with your salvia and wash over your teeth.
Sou ourr candy� ⇨ If a candy makes you pucker, it’s likely highly acidic. That sour flavor comes from a combination of tartaric and citric acids, and it means higher potential for damage to your teeth’s enamel, which causes greater vulnerability to cavities. Candies that are sour and sticky, like sour gummy worms, offer a double whammy of potential for tooth decay. P opcor orn n� and kett ttle le cor orn n�� ⇨ If you opt to enjoy this fall favorite, make sure you have floss on hand. Kernels can easily get stuck between your teeth. If you choose kettle corn or popcorn balls, you’ll also need to be aware that it’s going to be sugary and potentially sticky or hard.

Drink wate terr� ⇨ Encourage kids to drink water while they eat their trick-or-treating haul. This will help wash away the sugar so it makes less contact with enamel. Avoid sodas and other sugary drinks. They’re never good for teeth, but they are especially bad in combination with candy. Don’t snack� ⇨ Think of candy as a special treat and don’t visit the candy bowl throughout the day. General snacking increases your risk of cavities, and that’s doubly true with sugary foods. P ick t he righ ghtt t ime ⇨ Try to limit candy eating time to immediately after meals. You produce more saliva during mealtimes, and that can help balance out the acids in your sweets and wash away bacteria and sugar particles. Cheew suga Ch garr-fr free ee gum ⇨ Evidence has shown that chewing gum for 20 minutes after meals helps reduce your risk of tooth decay because it increases saliva production.

Hope for BREAST CANCER Patients BY JULIA M. JOHNSON
Breast cancer treatment has seen major advances in recent years, leading to much better health outcomes and survival rates, says Washington University medical oncologist Dr. Nusayba Bagegni, who practices at Siteman Cancer Center. “About one in eight U.S. women develop breast cancer, so it’s very common, but we have effective tools like mammography to screen for it,” she says. “We want people to know that screening is key because earlier detection means a greater potential for cure. There are four million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. right now.” Bagegni says that of three main subtypes, hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer is the most common. "Blocking estrogen with medication is the usual way to treat it, and endocrine therapy can help by depleting what the tumor feeds on," she says. "Depending on the stage of the cancer, these treatments may be used with other targeted therapies as well." HER2 positive breast cancer is seen in a smaller number of patients, and it is treated using drug therapy to block HER2, a protein on the cell surface that, when amplified, can "rev up" cancer cell growth, she says. The third subtype is triple negative breast cancer, so called because it does not involve either the HER2 protein or the hormones. "The way we treat a patient's breast cancer depends on which type it is, and what stage it has reached," Bagegni says. "When it's at stage 0, 1, 2 or 3, we generally look at it as being curable. Stage 4 means it is a more advanced cancer with metastasis, for which there is currently no cure. The goal in that case is to try and control the disease and maintain a good quality of life as long as possible." Breast cancer patients may benefit from different combinations of medical therapy, radiation and surgery, and Bagegni says immunotherapy is gaining ground as a treatment as well. "This type of therapy charges up the body's immune system and rewires it to do
what it was designed to—recognize cancer cells and kill them," she explains. "Recently, the FDA approved immunotherapy for high-risk, early-stage triple negative breast cancer. Adding it to chemotherapy has been shown to reduce risk of recurrence in some women, so it's an exciting development. When I create a list of treatment options for a patient, it feels great to have more tools in the toolbox." Bagegni says participating in clinical trials is yet another way for women to fight back against breast cancer, and it also benefits future patients. "We are always looking for the most promising therapies to update the standard of practice," she says. "Trials help scientists and medical professionals understand how patients can tolerate treatment better and live longer without the cancer recurring." Just a few decades ago, the outlook for breast cancer patients was not as hopeful as it is today, Bagegni says. "As we learn more about the growth and biology of tumors, we can greatly advance the science of treating them, and we can design therapy that is less invasive," she says. "Many women can be cured and live longer, better lives than before. It's important to listen to your body, do regular breast self-exams, get screened, be careful about information you read online, and discuss questions, concerns and family medical history with your physician." &
DID YOU KNOW? Breast cancer may not cause any symptoms in its early stages, but some women do experience changes that should be discussed with a doctor: • LUMP OR THICKENING FELT DURING A SELF-EXAM • CHANGE IN BREAST SIZE OR SHAPE • CHANGE IN BREAST SKIN COLOR OR TEXTURE • NIPPLE DISCHARGE OR INVERSION (TURNING INWARD) • ITCHING, DISCOMFORT OR TENDERNESS • ENLARGED LYMPH NODES UNDER THE ARM OR NEAR THE COLLARBONE

Physically separated from the rest of the house, it often feels disconnected from upper floors, so design professionals must put extra thought into a plan that complements the home’s overall style. Andrea Liston-Jones, director of design at Liston Design Build, says the company’s recent basement remodel on Bon Hills Drive in Olivette is a perfect example of how to accomplish this. “The owners had lived in the home for about five years, and their goal was to make the lower level feel so warm and inviting that you wouldn’t know it was a basement,” she says. “They chose a lot of wood elements, but they also were looking for a cozy atmosphere that wouldn’t feel heavy, stuffy or lodge-like.” The owners wanted the basement to reflect favorite elements of upper rooms, so they selected features like a brick backsplash in the bar area that echoes a brick foyer pattern upstairs. They also chose to create contrast with striking combinations like light floors and dark cabinets. “The owners really wanted their guests to enjoy the basement as a natural part of the house,” Liston-Jones says. “Our design plan linked the upper and lower spaces as smoothly as if they were on the same level.” She says the homeowners also wanted the basement bar to be open and inviting so they could mingle more easily while entertaining. “They didn’t want to spend their party evenings stuck behind the bar, separated from their guests,” Liston-Jones says. “We designed an open, self-service layout so people can come and go casually, and the hosts don’t have to play bartender.” There also is plenty of room to set up chairs, tables and even games like ping-pong or shuffleboard. The lower level features other useful spaces as well. It includes storage, a gym and an attractive work area that Liston-Jones says the owners cheerfully fight over. “They work from home, and they love being downstairs,” she says. “They often argue good-naturedly about who gets to use the basement as their office for the day.”

A LISTON BASEMENT REMODEL IN OLIVETTE
Liston-Jones says versatile and enjoyable renovations like this are easily accomplished with the high level of client service and technological tools the company offers. “Remodeling any space is a big step,” she says. “We understand that it can be daunting because there are so many options and decisions involved. Our design professionals make the process easier by creating trusting relationships so clients can feel comfortable talking about their needs and preferences.” The company provides an online project management platform that saves time and effort, and a 3D rendering program shows homeowners exactly how their design choices will look in a space. Liston-Jones says the effect is so striking that some clients become emotional seeing their remodeling dreams come to life on-screen. “We have a saying that a well designed, well crafted project is the baseline, but the overall client experience must go far beyond that,” HO ME SH OW CA SE she says. “We want every home remodel to be remembered for all the pleasant things it involves, and we go out of our way to create that experience.” & SPEC IAL SECT ION

*
What are you excited about in design right now? One of the main things we’ve been focusing on is layering. Since the pandemic, there have been a lot of redecorating projects, and many people are looking to repurpose items they already have. If you strip things down and slowly add pieces back, you can breathe new life into them. It can be as simple as switching up a paint color and then adding layers like wall covering and artwork in different placements to make them feel new again. How do you like to layer design? I often tell my clients that design is kind of like picking an outfit. A great pair of jeans and a T-shirt can be styled so many different ways; you can make it preppy, glam or chic depending on the accessories you pick. Your interior design can be topped off the same way you would an outfit with jewelry, so don’t be afraid to accessorize your home. I like to start with a classic base and then work in layers that reflect a homeowner’s personal style. You can create the foundation for a unique, personalized

space with just wall color, artwork and a lamp, and you haven’t even brought in your furniture, textiles and other elements yet. Do you have suggestions for where homeowners can start? I always encourage people to strip their shelves and surfaces. Take it all down, and re-evaluate the items you have. Make a pile of what you love and another of stuff you can do without. In the first pile, you’ll find your personal style. From there, you can use that as a guide and build off those items. Maybe you’ll discover you want to search for new elements, or you might find new ways to use what you have. I think you’ll be surprised by what you find. Another great starting point can be looking at design blogs. You can find so much inspiration. Are there trending styles that compliment layering? Right now, we’re seeing a lot of design that implements a classic backdrop mixed in with elements that make
the environment more you. At ADJ Interiors, we take an American modern approach, but it doesn’t have to be any particular style. Post-pandemic interiors are all about coziness, comfort and functionality. I think things tend to be a little more eclectic when you take a layering approach, which reflects my personal style. I like to bring together modern and antique elements that pop on an elegant, black and white backdrop. Are there any trends on their way out? We’re seeing that people no longer want all-white interiors where everything is pristine and perfect. Spaces where people are afraid to sit or disturb anything have been done. Homeowners want guests to come over and feel comfortable, so they’re looking for items that are more durable, casual and functional but still beautiful. It’s out with perfection and in with coziness, function and togetherness.

OCTOBER 20, 2021
Modern farmhouse interior design style combines contemporary clean lines and high-contrast neutrals with the rustic charm of the traditional farmhouse style. This look generally features rustic wood, shiplap walls or ceilings, exposed beams and stone or brick, industrial lighting, and a high contrast color palette of cool tones to create a cozy yet modern feel. The style has been a huge hit as of late, and the big box stores have noticed, stepping up to bring it to the masses, which by nature is how styles end up becoming more like trends—and sadly, when this happens, they can become outdated faster than usual. By following the tips below, you can elevate the modern farmhouse aesthetic to create something that will withstand the test of time. The idea is to cultivate a look that makes sense for you while also taking into account the architecture of your space as well as its location. We’re here with some workarounds for that! 1. Color Palette Often, the modern farmhouse style incorporates high-contrast colors that lean toward the cool side. To elevate the look in terms of paint, try adding in more subdued colorways that are a bit muddier and more tone-on-tone. Many of the modern farmhouse homes of recent years are bright white, so even going with a creamier white can give the space more warmth while still keeping it light and bright. Consider softer historical colors— and don’t be afraid to venture out into more playful tones! A large amount of black and white patterned cement tile is featured in the modern farmhouses of today; simply opting for a historically accurate tile can make a huge impact and can really take your home to a new level of timelessness. Think about limestone or travertine—these can add that air of rustic charm but in an elevated way. If you are set on black and white, a checkered floor can give you the impact you crave in a classic way. 2. Rustic Wood One of the most recognizable elements of the modern farmhouse style is the use of a cool-toned rustic wood, specifically with natural patina, which has that famous reclaimed-barn look. When you’re looking to add a sense of history to your interior design, consider opting for richer, darker, more saturated wood tones with your flooring, furniture and stain selections. This is also an ideal opportunity for you to mix wood tones within your space. Typically
with modern farmhouse, cool tones are mixed with other cool woods, but to achieve that next-level look, don’t be afraid to try mixing deep, rich tones with lighter ones for contrast, or branching out into some warmer tones. Whatever your decided-upon undertone is, just try to stay in that family (i.e. cool tones with cool tones, warm with warm, neutral with neutral). This could be a great opportunity for you to perfectly pair two of your favorite antique pieces or update some of your built-in cabinets! 3. Lighting Industrial lighting goes hand-in-hand with modern farmhouse, but for an elevated look, opt for more modern, sleeker lighting that adds a sense of history to your space. You might also consider lighting more common to bespoke English-inspired designs—it adds so much dimension and interest! 4. Shiplap Often called tongue-and-groove paneling, nickel-gap paneling or car siding, shiplap is an excellent way to add traditional charm to a modern space, and it’s used quite a lot with modern farmhouse, typically as a wall or ceiling treatment. Most shiplap you see is featured horizontally, so installing it vertically will upscale your space two-fold: vertical shiplap adds a fresh look, and it’s a super simple and effective way to add height to any room. 5. Exposed Beams and Exposed Stone or Brick We’re still big fans of exposed beams and exposed stone or brick. When you add these details to a home, historical accuracy and an architecturally sound structure is essential to creating a look that’s intentional rather than adding something with the sole purpose of creating a visual impact. Pay special attention to transitions where the beams or stone start and stop, and make sure you don’t have an issue where it might do so abruptly. Take your elevated style a step further by selecting pieces and accessories with bespoke traditional details that add charm and character, and consider some of those special custom touches you can add to your pieces and built-ins to take your space to the next level of timeless style.
From Trending to Timeless
Most designers aim to create something long-lasting that’s cohesive with the style of the house as well as with the location of the home and its architectural structure. Now, you can use these tips to design like a pro and achieve a look that’s a true reflection of you and your style.
