Every year, thousands of incarcerated men and women face the daunting task of returning to the St. Louis community, often with nowhere to live and no one to help them. Through the dedication of staff, volunteers and congregational-based mentoring teams, Project Cope, a nonprofit founded in 1985, provides the necessary resources to help these individuals establish a sense of home and purpose.

Project Cope’s 12-month program, which offers transitional housing, case management services, programming and mentoring services, reduces the risk of recidivism dramatically. The national average is around 67 percent, but fewer than 14 percent of Project Cope participants re-offend and return to prison within three years. That kind of success is attributable to the dedication of people like Danny Ludeman and his wife, Susan. Ludeman, who recently retired from his role as CEO/president of Wells Fargo Advisors, is currently working on a strategic plan for the nonprofit and praises the work it does for the St. Louis community as a whole.

“I believe this is an invisible problem for a lot of people, so we hope to raise awareness,” he says. “Everybody has stumbled in life; these individuals shouldn’t be permanently labeled or ostracized when they are released.” He credits the passionate members of Project Cope for giving this population a loving environment in which to thrive. “Not only do these services help the ex-offenders, but they also help restore our community,” he notes. “There is a huge payoff in terms of public safety and crime reduction.” Mr. Ludeman and his wife will be honored for their support at the nonprofit’s 29th anniversary gala, Celebrating Second Chances on November 1st at the Saint Louis Zoo. Proceeds from the dinner and auction will allow more men and women to be served and will directly benefit the organization’s efforts to help people lead productive and fulfilled lives.

[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] People say they like travel because it gives them a window to other cultures, but travel also tells us a lot about our own culture, by comparison. Every time I enter the U.S. after international travel, I feel like singing ‘God Bless America’ (although I’ve never done it, because I don’t want to be yanked out of the customs line and questioned). This impulse was especially present after a recent trip to Poland. Poland is actually not the glum, gray place you might expect. But signs of its tragic past are everywhere, and they remind you how lucky we are to be here. Not only did that country lose 25 percent of its population during the last world war—95 percent of its Jewish population—it also spent an additional 45 years after that under Soviet rule. And while our group toured only charming medieval towns, in between we got to see plenty of Soviet-style concrete buildings, including what the government at the time proudly hailed as the country’s largest apartment complex: an 11-story concrete ‘wave’ that goes on for half a mile and houses 6,000 residents. But mostly it’s the stories about life in Poland that stick with you. Like hearing that people were sent to Siberia for playing Chopin; the Soviets frowned on national pride (just think how subversive an étude can be). Or that Poles, if they could afford a car at all, got to choose between a Lada and ... a Lada, the Russian-made plastic vehicle with 73 horsepower. (What’s the difference between a Lada and golf ball? You can drive a golf ball 200 yards.) God bless America.

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

It seems that someone dumped a broken-down boat in the south city/county borderland wilds near the River Des Peres. It sat there on the side of Idaho Avenue for about two months, whereupon neighbors called the cops. (I mean, what’s the rush?) Anyhow, thanks to a mix-up in the administrative depths of county government, a law-abiding, starched-shirt-wearing sportsman from Ballwin received a ticket for the derelict watercraft. Natch, it didn’t belong to him, nor was he the dumper. Still, he had an order to appear in court on the charge almost immediately (hey, what’s the rush?). All his efforts to resolve the issue were for naught. But a call from an enterprising TV reporter somehow cut through the red tape. Our businessman didn’t have to return from a busy work week on the road to appear on a Wednesday night; the ticket was dropped. The boat is no longer aground in the 8500 block of Idaho, anyway. Perhaps someone mercifully scuttled it in the dry River Des Peres channel for it to sink or wash into the Big Muddy and eventually out to sea, come the next cloudburst. And, next relaxing weekend, our businessman can fish for crappie from that nice bass boat he really does own. In time, Chick-fil-A and its silly cows (‘Eat Mor Chikin’) could take over the world. Well, OK, maybe the barnyard. This rooster from Atlanta is really puffing out its breast and strutting its stuff: The fast-fryeries have cropped up so rapidly throughout the metro that one has to wonder where else in the nation the pious poultry purveyor (closed on Sundays) has such aggressive expansion plans. Word on Eager Road is that Chick-fil-A may assume the lease of the Romano’s Macaroni Grill location there. Brentwood’s planning and zoning body would need to take up the issue before it could be kicked up to the city council. Meanwhile, it’s macaroni as usual at the Grill, 8590 Eager Road. A manager there says they’re doing just fine, and that reports about the chicken guys leasing from the pasta guys is inaccurate, as Romano’s doesn’t own the building. Guess we’ll have to watch and wait as the gears of local government and corporate real estate slowly turn. At any rate, the Houston-based make-yourown-pasta place apparently has not fared so well in a region renowned for its Eye-talian: namely, everywhere on The Hill and at mom & pop places all over. At any rate, Macaroni Grill in Creve Coeur closed about this time last year. As far as longevity among area municipalities is concerned, the City of Chesterfield is but a pip-squeak. But according to the National

OF THE

they’re brighter than hell itself, and maybe they do make perps go all zombie-like. Fortunately, the robbery that occurred last month at the Circle K, 11100 Olive Blvd., was of the ‘strong arm’ variety. Nothing was smashed, except maybe a pastry, nothing but money was grabbed, and nobody was hurt. Although the cops apparently haven’t shared surveillance video, there’s a strong likelihood that this crook got caught on camera before he got away. Maybe that’s the attraction—the thrill presented by a good chance of getting caught for real. If he’s successful, he’s got some pocket change—or, more likely, a fistful of dollars to spend on booze, cigarettes and strippers. Quite an accomplishment.

CHESTERFIELD

Wildlife Federation (NWF), Chesterfield is a giant when it comes to stewardship of natural resources by creating wildlife habitat. Collin O’Mara, NWF president and CEO, visited Chesterfield last month to recognize the city for its 10th year as an NWF Community Wildlife Habitat. To become so designated, a city, town, county or neighborhood must make a commitment to become ‘wildlife-friendly’ by creating multiple wildlife habitat areas in backyards, schoolyards, corporate properties, community gardens, parks and common areas. Habitat-rich communities like Chesterfield must also commit to educating citizens about how to garden for wildlife in a sustainable manner and provide the four key elements for wildlife to survive—food, water, shelter and places to raise young. In 2005, Chesterfield became the ninth community in the country—and the first in Missouri—to become a NWF Community Wildlife Habitat. Now, the area is positively bursting with habitat: From the milkweed planted at city hall in Chesterfield (migrating monarch butterflies love it) to larger areas in parks and along waterways throughout the metro, there are more than 2,000 NWF-certified habitats, including schools and homes, places of worship and corporate campuses. They’re like moths to a flame. Something draws knuckleheads to gas stations and C-stores in the middle of the night. For criminals, of course, it’s the promise of quick cash. Never really all that much, of course; maybe a few hundred dollars. Or maybe it really is that the places are bathed in light—at night

The ‘pigeon drop’ scam—it is real, and it happened recently outside the Hobby Lobby on South Kirkwood Road. Sounds like it’s right out of Dumb and Dumber: Suspect approaches an unwary victim and shows her a substantial amount of cash in a bag. Then the suspect (also female) says she’ll split the proceeds with the pigeon—and, another participant (read: accomplice) if they’ll pony up some of their own cash and help verify the money isn’t counterfeit. Suspect proposes to do this by bringing some bills into the store for scanning. If the potential pigeon hasn’t beaten feet by now, she belongs in the aforementioned movie’s sequel, Dumb and Dumberer. Details of this particular drop include the trio then visiting Lowe’s to have a manager verify the money’s authenticity. Of course, before it all gets resolved, the two suspects are long gone with the pigeon’s $10,000. If it sounds like something out of vaudeville, this old con game still happens all the time, authorities say. Surveillance video from Lowe’s and Hobby Lobby helped the cops ID and issue warrants for two women from Mississippi. But at this writing, they had yet to locate, much less put cuffs on, the two slippery gals. A multimillion-dollar expansion and improvements are in the works for two Friendship Village senior living communities, in Sunset Hills and Chesterfield. The project at Friendship Village Sunset Hills is budgeted at $57 million and is slated to wrap up next September with two independent-living apartment complexes of 200,000 square feet apiece. The expansion will include five new duplex villas, two new dining venues and will interconnect with apartment buildings already on campus. In Chesterfield, the expansion will entail creating a number of larger apartments by combining two existing apartments into single units of approximately 1,200 square feet. In addition, a new triplex villa will be built.

TOWN TALK

Neighbors have filed suit to derail the project. Delays of one sort or another have hampered its progress. But proponents of the Loop Trolley line from U. City to the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park still tout it as ‘The Little Engine That Could.’ When bids for a number of contracts came in higher than expected, Loop Trolley Transportation Development District officials say, bid language was revised to make it more clear to respondents what exactly the district is asking for. In essence, say civic leaders Joe Edwards et al., the project should be held up only a month or two as they await new bids, but the bells on the trolley cars still should be ringing by spring 2016, with public access by that summer, as originally planned. Officials did not specify which bids came in too high for the $43 million line, which was jump-started in May with a long-awaited $25 million federal Urban Circulator grant. In 1915, Webster University was a small Catholic school founded by the Sisters of Loretto. It opened that year as Loretto College—with five students. What a difference a century can make. Webster University, in kicking off its centennial celebration, is rolling out a variety of events (some even with food trucks! In the Lou, you know it’s a big deal if there are food trucks) to mark its growth, not the least of which is in size: Today the institution has 60 locations and more than 20,000 students. Webster’s centennial celebration includes a film series, ‘A Century Through Cinema,’ which launches Oct. 17 with The Roaring Twenties, the first of several award-winning films that capture decades, define generations, and evoke nostalgia. This 1939 Raoul Walsh classic depicts three World War I vets, played by Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney and Jeffrey Lynn, who turn to bootlegging and organized crime to make a living during Prohibition. The next feature in the series is It Happened One Night (Frank Capra, 1934), a screwball comedy starring Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, which reveals disparity in the social classes of the early ’30s. Other epics in the centennial series include The Grapes of Wrath and Rebel Without a Cause. The series is held monthly through next September at various venues, including on campus at Winifred Moore Auditorium and at Schlafly Bottleworks. All films start at 7:30 p.m.

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

St. Louis businesswoman DONNA HECKLER saw her life change in an instant when she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2010. Last month, she released

Living Like a Lady, a book that shares her personal experiences as a cancer patient. Based

on a journal she kept during treatment, it includes insights from medical professionals and stories from fellow patients. Along with the book launch, Heckler, now cancer free, has established the Living Like a Lady Charitable Foundation, which funds nonprofit cancer organizations that provide support to patients and caregivers during treatment.

Every child deserves the opportunity to dress up on Halloween.

NONPROFIT GATEWAY180 is collecting gently used costumes for children in need at a Costume Roundup at The Boulevard, in the breezeway between Relax the Back and Accessorize, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 10 and 11. Gateway180, which provides safe, nurturing emergency shelter and housing services for women, children and families, will distribute the costumes to children at its shelter and transitional housing units. Donors will receive a gift card for a free appetizer at P.F. Chang’s.

The Magic House is one of only three institutions in the state to earn a prestigious MUSEUMS FOR AMERICA GRANT from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the primary source of federal support for the nation’s libraries and museums. The children’s museum will use the $150,000 grant to replace ‘A Little Bit of Magic,’ a multilevel play space that is nearly 30 years old, with a new, 1,500-square-foot STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) exhibit for children ages 2 through 6. According to BUSINESS INSIDER,

Ladue ranks as the most educated town in Missouri.

The magazine polled towns with a minimum population of 1,000 to find those in every state with the highest percentage of adults over the age of 25 who hold at least a bachelor’s degree. In Ladue, 82.6 percent of adults met the education requirement.

IT’S BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE, but even better when you can do both at once. The Glennon Card, which costs $50, entitles users to a 20 percent discount on regularly priced merchandise at more than 300 participating stores, restaurants and salons from Oct. 24 through Nov. 2—just in time for a head start on holiday shopping. Best of all, card sales directly benefit 200,000 children served each year at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. The card was introduced three years ago by Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, which raises funds for the medical center, and the Glennon Guild, a 300-member women’s volunteer organization that supports the center’s needs. “The Glennon Card has gained momentum every year, growing 83 percent since 2011,” says Brigette McMillin, who co-chairs the 2014 card program with sister Glennon Guild members Cindy Brooks and Sarah Dow. “It’s a huge hit with local merchants and savvy shoppers who appreciate a good deal. Everyone reaps the benefits, especially when proceeds go to a great cause.” Last year, 2,444 cards were sold, raising more than $122,200 for the medical center. Additional community contributions, including a donation from presenting sponsor Fifth Third Bank, increased the amount to $161,900. Thanks to 2013 Glennon Card sales and sponsor donations, visitors can enjoy improved waiting areas at the hospital, as well as newly remodeled, interactive atrium and lobby areas. “We’re making the hospital more welcoming and convenient,” McMillin explains. “Bright, cheery, easyto-navigate spaces help soothe children and their families during times of worry and uncertainty.” Past card sales benefited the medical center’s transport team, purchased telemedicine equipment and life-saving heart and lung monitoring machines, and enhanced parking facilities and treatment programs at the Knights of Columbus Developmental Center, which serves children with learning and developmental disabilities. Cardholders enjoy saving on top-of-the-line goods and services that usually aren’t discounted. “It’s a great excuse to visit shops, restaurants and salons you’ve never tried before,” McMillin says. “You can recoup the cost of the card with just $250 in purchases, so it takes the guilt out of splurging!” Business owners and store managers are among the card’s biggest boosters, she notes. “They appreciate the increased traffic and sales during one of the slowest shopping times of the year, the period between back-to-school and the holidays.” The 2014 Glennon Card program is presented by Fifth Third Bank. Co-sponsors include Town & Style, Show Me St. Louis, KSDK News Channel 5, Plaza Frontenac and Ylang-Ylang. The card is available online at glennoncard.org until Oct. 19, and at 127 participating merchants after Oct. 11. A complete list of merchants is available online and at mobile.glennoncard.org, an app that lists and maps all participants. “Buying a Glennon Card lets the entire community save money, improve the local economy, and share Cardinal Glennon’s mission to help and heal children,” McMillin says. “That’s why we call it ‘the card that cares.’”

Since the Glennon Card program launched in 2011, the custom and fine jewelry store has been heavily involved as a cash sponsor, merchant participant and Glennon Card seller. “The money raised for the kids is a beautiful thing, and everybody benefits from participating,” Ettinger says of the card program in which shoppers buy a $50 gift card to receive discounts at local shops. The $50 goes to the hospital, and the 20 percent discount applies to more than 300 stores for a 10-day period, from Oct. 24 to Nov. 2. “The kids at Cardinal Glennon, of course, benefit,” Ettinger says. “We benefit as a contributor and by making a difference in our community. Customers benefit because they get discounts at local stores.” In 2012, during a Show Me St. Louis segment, Ylang Ylang presented a sterling charm to an SSM Cardinal Glennon nurse and two of her young sickle-cell anemia patients. The specially designed charm displayed the Glennon logo on one side and on the other, words from the Glennon mission statement: “the healing presence of God.” “We were overwhelmed by the caregivers and their role at the hospital, and we also wanted to show that we can do custom pieces catered to anyone,” Ettinger says. “It was a surprise for the kids and the nurse, and it was a really emotional moment for everyone.” The charms, from designer Heather Moore, can still be ordered from Ylang Ylang, and 20 percent of the proceeds go to Cardinal Glennon. Ylang Ylang, headed into its 30th year in business, is moving later this month to a new location at 8845 Ladue Road in the Colonial Marketplace shopping center. After learning Glennon Card organizers were hoping to get more merchants in the area to participate, Ettinger went door-to-door to encourage them. “It’s YLANG-YLANG OWNER JULIE ETTINGER our new home,” she says. “My goal in being in the Colonial Marketplace is to create a real community. And supporting small businesses is important to me, too.” This year, shoppers can again purchase the Glennon Card at Ylang Ylang, as well as online or at several other stores, to receive 20 percent discounts from participating merchants. Ylang Ylang also is donating three $1,000 gift cards. One will be used as a silent auction item at the Glennon Card Luncheon and Boutique Oct. 17 at Union Station, a second will go to the Register to Win random giveaway for cardholders who register their cards online at glennoncard.org, and the third will be given to one lucky shopper who purchases his or her Glennon card at the new Ylang Ylang store.

That’s how his mom, Mitzi Jackson, explained the reason for his heart surgery to him when he was younger, and it also explains his motivation to help others and give back. Born with transposition of the major arteries (his aorta and pulmonary artery connected to the wrong ventricles), Tyler has been cared for at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center since he was 1 day old. His mom had a normal pregnancy, but doctors immediately knew something was wrong when she delivered. He was transported to Cardinal Glennon the next day, where a team of doctors confirmed the diagnosis. There, Tyler’s parents were presented with two treatment options: a newer, high-risk arterial switch surgery that, if successful, might be the only procedure he ever needed, or a more conservative approach that would require him to endure multiple surgeries throughout his lifetime. “Dr. Saadeh Al-Jureidini, Tyler’s cardiologist, explained everything and was so patient,” Jackson recalls. “He made sure we understood Tyler’s condition and made us feel valued, which was so important when we felt so overwhelmed.” This outpouring of support and genuine concern was evident with everyone at Cardinal Glennon, she notes. “I always felt part of a family there,” Jackson says. “They took care of us, whether it was making sure I had eaten lunch or reassuring us in our time of need.” Tyler, now 25, underwent the riskier surgery at 4 days old, and Jackson describes his recovery as a miracle. He was under constant monitoring for months after surgery but slowly gained strength. Surgery left him with a large scar on his chest. “When he was 4, we were on the beach and a girl pointed to his scar and asked, What’s that?” Jackson recalls. “Tyler responded, It’s me.” After graduating from Oakville High School in 2007, Tyler worked as a certified personal trainer for a few years. He now manages a Supplement Superstore, where he uses his expertise and experience to help customers reach their fitness goals through proper exercise and nutrition. He credits Al-Jureidini for getting him interested in fitness and how his body works. “I think he’s a large reason for the career path I’ve chosen,” Tyler says. Until three years ago, Tyler required only a yearly check-up. But due to built-up scar tissue from his surgery, he began experiencing atrial fibrillation and underwent two cardiac surgeries in 2012 with Dr. Ali Mehdirad of Saint Louis University School of Medicine. A blood clot in his leg required another surgery in 2013. Other than taking a blood thinner every day, Tyler has no restrictions and is healthy. “I try to keep my mind positive,” he says. “My past has created who I am today. It led me to my career and established my mindset of helping others.” Both Tyler and his mom are Glennon Ambassadors, an organization that offers grateful families and patients a chance to give back through various volunteer opportunities. “I want to show kids going through similar circumstances that you can grow up to be healthy and do normal things, and that there’s a lot to look forward to,” Tyler says. “I’m grateful for all the love I’ve been shown and the care from all of my doctors. I know everyone at Cardinal Glennon wants me to be successful, happy and healthy.”

CARDINAL GLENNON LOBBY

SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center has a reputation for being a leading provider of exceptional healthcare and patient services for children in the St. Louis area and across the nation. This is largely due to an outstanding team SANDY KOLLER of doctors, nurses and trained specialists whose work is supported by the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation. The foundation, led by newly appointed executive director Sandy Koller, builds partnerships with individuals, businesses and organizations to raise funds for state-of-the-art facilities, treatment centers and programs. Now in its fourth year, the Glennon Card, a discount shopping program, is one of its annual fundraising efforts with Glennon Guild, an organization that provides financial support and volunteer hours. St. Louisans can purchase a $50 card online or at select participating retailers, which entitles them to a 20 percent discount at more than 300 participating stores, salons and restaurants from Oct. 24 through Nov. 2. “The program has brought great benefits to Cardinal Glennon, and each year brings a community of volunteers, shops, spas and restaurants together for the same cause: helping sick and injured children,” Koller says. “I can’t wait to see this year’s results.” All proceeds from sales of the Glennon Card go directly to the medical center, thanks to the generosity of community partners. “Fifth Third Bank, our presenting sponsor for the third year in a row, covers all marketing and printing costs, and the businesses absorb the retail discount,” explains Koller. The foundation determines which programs benefit from the funds raised. “We identify new places of need,” Koller says. “This year, we already have committed part of the funds to improve and upgrade the Pediatric ICU, which is undergoing a major renovation.” She says the goal is to create a non-threatening, peaceful environment for patients of the PICU and their families, with interactive play areas and comfortable lounge space. Since the program’s inception in 2011, it has raised a total of $417,000. Last year, a portion of the proceeds were used to enhance the hospital’s lobby and atrium. “Right now there is a big submarine in the atrium for kids to play in, and we want to continually add things to make it a visually stimulating environment that is welcoming for children and families,” Koller says.

THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Go to the head of the class at The following are some of the programs that have benefited from past sales of the Glennon Card:

TRANSPORT TEAM

The hospital’s transport ambulance and helicopter, which operates under the name ‘Cardinal Glennon Air,’ ensure quick delivery of critically ill or injured children to the medical center. The team, which includes nurses and respiratory therapists trained in emergency transportation and available 24-7, also travels with patients by airplane or jet and assists with hospital transfers. Recently, the transport team formed a collaboration with the Marion County ambulance district to provide around-the-clock transport services for critically ill newborns and pediatric patients in northeast Missouri and west central Illinois.

TELEMEDICINE

This program allows residents of outlying areas to receive care from Cardinal Glennon’s leading staff of doctors, nurses and trained specialists. From their pediatrician’s office, patients and families interact online with doctors at Cardinal Glennon face-to-face, view X-rays and images in real time, and set up treatment plans.

Charm School Thursday, Oct. 16th from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nothing inspires proper posture like a gorgeous new pair of earrings. So grab your girlfriends and come test out hundreds of earring hoops, charms, and earring charm frames.

ECMO EQUIPMENT

In 1984, doctors at Cardinal Glennon used ECMO for the first time on a patient in respiratory distress, becoming the first hospital west of the Mississippi River to use the equipment. Short for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, ECMO oxygenates and removes carbon dioxide from the blood. It is used on patients whose cardiac and/or respiratory function is compromised and gives the body time to rest and recover with less ongoing damage.

THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Proceeds from the Glennon Card helped the center expand to a new facility in 2013, right next to the main hospital. Designated a Missouri Autism Center in 2007, it serves children with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders in a therapeutic environment, providing comprehensive evaluations, care, family guidance, education and innovative research.

DOUG PITT AND JOE BUCK PHOTO COURTESY OF CARE TO LEARN

COVER STORY

STUDENT AID [CARE TO LEARN by stephanie zeilenga GROWING UP AND SUCCEEDING IN SCHOOL is hard enough without being bullied for wearing your mom’s jeans because there’s no money to spare for new clothing. Yet this situation is all too familiar for students who come from impoverished families. It was a story like this, along with some sobering statistics on local poverty shared at a Springfield, Mo., chamber of commerce meeting, that inspired businessman Doug Pitt, brother of famed actor Brad, to found Care to Learn in 2008. “I was shocked to hear how bad it was,” he says. “I’m involved in the community, and I thought if this was news to me, it must be news to a lot of people.” This month, the nonprofit launches a branch in St. Louis. Since its founding, Care to Learn, which has 16 chapters serving 13 school districts in Missouri, has provided for more than 350,000 emergent needs. Whatever a child needs in school, Care to Learn seeks to provide, whether it be food, clothing, medical care, hygiene products, or transportation. Two questions serve as a litmus test for determining who receives aid, Pitt explains. “If it’s keeping the kid out of the classroom, or disrupting their classroom experience, we take care of it,” he says. “And there’s no value proposition. If it’s a $3 meal, we do it. If it’s a $3,000 hearing aid, we do it. There are just certain things we’ve got to take care of if kids are expected to be prepared to learn.” The organization’s expansion to St. Louis, which starts with chapters in the St. Charles, Warren County and Hazelwood school districts, is a result of a collaboration between Pitt and friends Donn Sorensen, regional president of Mercy St. Louis, and TV sportscaster Joe Buck. Both serve on the local Care to Learn board. On a 2013 trip to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Buck and Pitt brainstormed about how a St. Louis chapter would work, and decided it was necessary for every dollar raised here to stay here. “Poverty is a community problem that needs a community response,” Pitt says. “It’s on the community to step up and do something, and Care to Learn is a great tool for individuals to help out. It’s a lot easier for all of us to do a little than put the burden on a few shoulders.” Joe Buck hosts Care to Learn’s inaugural St. Louis event, Bright Lights, Big Future, Nov. 4 at MX Movies. The evening includes a sports roundtable with local star athletes. “If people think that poverty has bypassed their neighborhood, they are wrong,” Pitt says. “These challenges exist everywhere. We created Care to Learn for every child and every student who needs it.” CARE TO LEARN PROVIDES FOR EMERGENT HEALTH, HUNGER, AND HYGIENE NEEDS SO EVERY CHILD CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT CARETOLEARNFUND.ORG. TO REGISTER FOR THE NOV. 4 EVENT, OR FOR INFORMATION ON SPONSORSHIPS, VISIT CARETOLEARN.EVENTBRITE.COM OR CALL 314.550.6665.

Q: I JUST RETIRED FROM A MAJOR CORPORATION AND HAVE DECIDED TO START A SPECIAL EVENTS CONSULTING FIRM OUT OF MY HOME. BECAUSE I WON’T BE MEETING CLIENTS THERE, I WANT TO SET UP A HOME OFFICE THAT’S FUNCTIONAL YET HOMEY. ANY HINTS? ——Taking care of business at home A: I suggest you do some serious planning upfront to avoid making costly mistakes. That said, the first thing I would do is select a suitable area in your home where you feel you will be able to work most productively. The office space should have attributes conducive to conducting business: appropriate lighting, climate control and preferably be located away from possible disruptions and distractions. Next, I’d make a list of all business tasks you are likely to perform, such as making telephone calls and keeping business records. Doing this should help you figure out exactly which furnishings, equipment and supplies you’ll need to do your job effectively. Along with a telephone, a computer and a printer also will be high on your list; but if you decide you’ll also need a copier or fax, consider getting an all-in-one machine that has print, copy, scanner, fax and telephone functions built in. Buying a single, integrated machine should save you time, money and valuable space. Another important element of any home office would be the primary workstation, which can just consist of a desk and chair. Do yourself a favor and invest in a well-matched desk and chair; these two pieces, together, should afford you easy access to materials without you having to strain to reach them. After deciding on all the accoutrements, I would start creating a floor plan, complete with measurements, to decide how to arrange everything on your list. I’d plan the placement of your workstation first, then arrange everything else in relation to it. Your layout should afford you quick, unobstructed access to your desk and other frequented areas. Don’t be surprised if you have to go back and revise your plan/design several times to accommodate budget, space or other limitations. Finally, after completing the floor plan, turn your attention to decor and to choosing the materials, colors and styles that will make your home office an inviting place for you to work. Consider motifs that complement those found in other areas of your home, to help create a pleasing visual transition from home to office—and back again. If you’re unsure how best to create/ implement a design plan, check out the many magazine/online articles dedicated to home office design, or consider hiring a design professional. But, before putting any plan into motion, be certain you understand all the costs, considerations and consequences of implementing it, and make sure it meets your needs.

GIVING, BY THE NUMBERS

HAPPY [HOUR by jorie taylor

It’s widely accepted that St. Louis is exceptionally charitable. People here are all about community, and they realize that building a strong one requires looking after our neighbors. But less well known is that Americans, on the whole, are charitable. We’re giving as individuals, and giving at the corporate level. After all, those parties Town & Style features every week have a mission: to support the work of nonprofits here in St. Louis. And we’re not alone: Every major city in the country is doing the same. The statistics might surprise you. 95% of American households give to charity, with an average annual household contribution of $2,974. In 2013, 100 of the largest charities received 13 % more in online donations, with 25 of them collecting more than $10 million each from online gifts.

PUNCH IS COMING BACK. We aren’t talking about a mix-whatever-fruit juices-you-have-lying-around punch. We’re talking about some serious this-is-why-you-came-to-my-housefor-dinner punch. Perhaps you’re feeling hesitant because you grew up associating punch with an electric-red summer camp concoction. Or maybe you’re planning a soiree and aren’t sure whether all your guests will enjoy the same drink. >> Well, hosts and hostesses, I say to you, take control! Guide your guests to punch, and assertively suggest they imbibe. They will thank you for it, and here’s why: Punch is delicious. It saves time and allows you, the party planner, to relax and enjoy the company of your guests instead of spending the night making drinks.

If I haven’t persuaded you yet, maybe punch’s history will. From the 1670s to the 1850s, it was common for a group to gather to drink punch, and it was an unwritten rule that once a bowl was presented to guests, there was no leaving it unfinished. JORIE TAYLOR IS A CERTIFIED SOMMELIER AND THE BAR MANAGER AT CIELO AT THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL.

// TRY THIS WITH THAT // [ taylor house punch Antipasti! The bubbles and refreshing fruitiness of this sparkling punch cuts right through the fat of cured meats and cheeses. Create a spread of artisanal meats and cheese, martinated olives, toasted bread and a few jams and mustards. 30 lemons, sliced into wheels 2 t. kosher salt 8 oranges, sliced into wheels 2 T. cardamom pods, toasted & cracked 3/4 lb. brown sugar 2 whole nutmegs, grated

>> Mix all ingredients together, and muddle with a wooden spoon.

Let sit, stirring occasionally, until the sugar begins to dissolve and turns into a paste. Then add: 1 whole pineapple, cored & sliced 2 pints strawberries, hulled & sliced 1 whole cucumber, sliced 2 bottles fruity (but dry) rose wine

2 bottles London dry gin 6 oz. Luxardo maraschino liqueur 16 oz. strong, hot green tea 1 bottle cava (added at serving)

>> Let all the ingredients (except the cava) sit at room temperature for 24 hours. Taste, and add more sugar if desired. Refrigerate at least 10 days, or up to one month before serving.

>> When serving: Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Top with cava. 30 |

In 2013, online giving grew by 13.5 %, while overall giving grew by 4.9%.

Education received Historically, charitable giving

rises about 1/3 as fast

Data shows that donors in the Midwest are most strongly motivated by “making the community better.” Giving patterns are affected by age; the boomer generation—born between 1946 and 1964— generally give less than other age groups. Religious organizations tend to receive the largest share of charitable contributions, about 35%.

[GRAND CENTER GALA SOUND OUT THE TRUMPETS!

ELIE TAHARI, NEIMANMARCUS.COM

The hub of St. Louis’ art and entertainment district, Grand Center, is holding its annual gala Oct. 24 at Sheldon Concert Hall. This large, impressive area contains many of our cultural jewels, including the Fox Theatre, Powell Hall, Jazz at the Bistro, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, the Pulitzer Arts Foundation and The Sheldon Concert Hall to name a few. One of our city’s leading philanthropic couples, David and Thelma Steward, will be honored for their outstanding commitment to numerous arts and entertainment organizations, many that call Grand Center home. Gala co-chairs are Noemi and Michael Neidorff, Peggy and Jerry Ritter, and Stacey and Jim Weddle. Guests will be entertained by the legendary soul and gospel singer Mavis Staples. Proceeds from the gala will help Grand Center’s mission of supporting the arts, preserving a cultural legacy and transforming the surrounding neighborhood. Now that fall fashion is in full swing, what do you wear? The invitation says ‘artful cocktail attire,’ which gives you the green light to express yourself. How? Through colorful prints, or by pairing solids with sensational accessories and shoes. No matter what, jazz up your outfit with the trends of the season. Here are some examples for your curated look.

“

[ tricks of the trade ] Q: SHOE BOOTIES ARE ALL THE RAGE. I LOVE THEM, BUT I’M CONFUSED ABOUT WHETHER MY PANT LEGS SHOULD GO IN THEM, AND DOES THAT MEAN THEY ONLY WORK WITH VERY TAPERED PANTS? A: Yes, definitely choose a tapered, tight-legged pant if you want to tuck them into your shoe bootie. If appropriate with your outfit, leggings look great with these boots. A big ‘don’t’ is to wear a wide-legged pant, as it would become puffy when tucked in and create extra material—an unflattering look.

IT’S ONE OF THOSE RAINY DAY MOMENTS that won’t be forgotten. Will Morrison used the excuse that his truck had broken down to lure Kate Boyle, his girlfriend of two years, to a park they often visited with their dog, Dayton. When she arrived, Will was sitting with Dayton in an Adirondack chair he built, and he dropped to one knee just as rain began to fall. The two met through a mutual friend in Will’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tenn., where Kate, a native St. Louisan, had accepted a job after college. Once they got engaged, Kate knew she wanted a St. Louis wedding. “I had to convince Will a little,” she recalls. “We came in town for a weekend to look at venues, and the Missouri Athletic Club was the last place on our list. Will loved it the second he walked in.” Kate grew up attending various functions at the MAC and always admired the ballroom’s simple elegance. “I kept the colors neutral and added greenery and my favorite flowers, hydrangeas and peonies.” Kate chose classic, traditional touches, and one extra special detail: her veil, made with lace from her grandmother’s wedding dress. “My aunt also wore the dress, and I hope to pass down the veil to my cousins,” she says. Her grandmother, who died a few weeks after the wedding, could attend only the ceremony, and one of Kate’s favorite memories is stopping to give her a hug and kiss during her walk down the aisle. “It made that part of the ceremony incredibly special,” she says. The couple resides in Chattanooga, where Kate is the national accounts coordinator for PlayCore, and Will is a home builder for Will Morrison Construction.

by stephanie zeilenga The latest fashions aren’t the only things debuting at this year’s Saint Louis Fashion Week, Oct. 8 through 18. The event marks the launch of Saint Louis Fashion Fund, an organization that aims to develop and grow the local fashion community. Beyond supporting Saint Louis Fashion Week, the group seeks to fund educational programming and outreach to support fledgling St. Louis designers.

The new organization sponsors the Saint Louis Fashion Fund Emerging Designer Competition, which evaluates young designers nationwide. The competition, funded by Brown Shoe Company, takes place Oct. 15 at Union Station. Six designers, chosen by a panel of editors, buyers and marketing professionals, will present their Spring 2015 collections, with one designer taking home the $15,000 prize. Saint Louis Fashion Fund also hosts an inaugural gala Oct. 17 at Union Station to raise funds for creating the St. Louis Fashion Incubator, located in the former garment district and scheduled to open in late 2016. The mission? To help return the city’s fashion industry to its former glory. “We had a bustling garment district through the end of World War II, and buyers would come from all over,” says Fashion Fund board chair Susan Sherman. “We want to make St. Louis a fashion center again.” The incubator will offer designers resources to launch or grow their careers. “The incubator will house fashion designers who receive mentorship and shared resources, including patternmaking, sewing and manufacturing capabilities,” Sherman says. “It’s something that’s working well in other cities and has brought revitalization and entrepreneurship.” For more information, visit stlouisfashionfund.org.

COVER STORY

ART SMART ] ROSSMAN SCHOOL by tony di martino WHAT DO YOU SEE? WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT DO YOU WONDER? Rossman School art teacher Erica Spangler asks her students these questions whenever they look at artwork together. “Each question requires a deeper level of thinking, and each requires students to observe, support their opinions and express their thoughts articulately,” she says. Rossman School, founded in 1917, is committed to helping students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade reach their full potential. Art is essential to that process, Spangler notes. “It helps little ones identify shapes and colors and develop fine motor and language skills, and it teaches older students to think critically and communicate their ideas. And all ages benefit from learning the patience needed to complete a project.” Studies link participation in fine arts to improved academic performance across the curriculum, and show that integrating the arts with other subjects can raise achievement levels, Spangler adds. Arts education pays off in the working world, as well: “Fortune 500 companies are looking for inventive employees who can think in new ways and solve problems creatively—traits developed through participating in the arts,” she says. Rossman’s Lafayette Square Homes Project is an annual event. “Every year, we take the fourth graders to Lafayette Square, where they each choose a house, take a photo of it, make a sketch, and use it as the basis for a watercolor painting,” Spangler explains. “In homeroom, they write essays on what makes that house special.” The paintings and essays are hung in the halls, and posters featuring miniatures of each painting are sold to raise funds for the school. It’s just one of many cross-curricular art assignments at Rossman, where art and music are taught twice a week. Students also write essays on how their heroes embody the ‘Rossman Rules’ of honesty, kindness, respect and responsibility, and then decorate a place setting for each hero. This year, third grade science students will build a simple machine, visually documenting each step of the process. And sixth graders studying Egypt in social studies will create an art project featuring hieroglyphics. “Every child is an artist,” Spangler says. “Some have more inborn talent than others, but everyone can have fun with it. And doing something you’re not naturally gifted at shows you it’s OK to take risks.” Last year, one little girl looked at the photo of her chosen Lafayette Square house in despair. “How am I ever going to paint a picture that looks like this?” she asked. Spangler advised her to take it one small step at a time, and gave her plenty of help along the way. “Not only was it one of the best paintings in the class,” Spangler recalls, “but the look of pride on her face lit up the entire classroom. By creating artworks they never dreamed possible, Rossman students learn they can accomplish anything if they try. They carry that self-confidence with them the rest of their lives.”

APRONOMICS LORNA KAHN OF WEBSTER GROVES ]

by stephanie zeilenga | photos by bill barrett DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR PEOPLE SHE CARES ABOUT

is at the heart of Lorna Kahn’s love of cooking—and it has been since her childhood in Brooklyn. She says her culinary prowess was sparked by her father who made wedding cakes for her and her siblings. To this day, he continues to bake for birthdays and community events. Growing up, Kahn and her four siblings would each be responsible for dinner one night of the week. The family had a strong interest in cultural food, she says, and that influenced their home cooking. To celebrate her parents’ anniversary every year, Kahn and her siblings would prepare a meal themed around a different country. One memorable year, they prepared Peking duck. “You have to dry the duck out, so even though it was April, we had the fan going and the kitchen window open for 12 hours,” she says. When Kahn moved to St. Louis to attend Washington University, she creatively incorporated cooking into her college life. “I had a toaster oven, and it was amazing the things I learned to cook in it,” she says. “Friends would come over Sunday mornings and I’d be rolling homemade biscuits out on my desktop. Someone would bring coffee, and someone else would bring the Sunday paper.”

Kahn, a Webster Groves resident, draws inspiration from her collection of cookbooks, including her grandmother’s old Betty Crocker cookbook, a risotto cookbook from Italy and online recipes. “I’m always looking for something new,” she says. She often tweaks recipes, making them healthier or substituting ingredients with those she has on hand. Each year, Kahn hosts a big Thanksgiving bash. Friends and family, spread out over the East Coast, come to St. Louis to attend. “Even the older relatives who have trouble traveling don’t miss Thanksgiving,” Kahn says. “My friend and I share the cooking, so we make it a really special event. We have our standards, but we always try to add an unusual new vegetable or dessert.” Cooking is a family tradition Kahn has passed down another generation. All three of her children can cook, and one daughter in particular has inherited her mother’s passion. “She’s as fascinated as I am and can prepare a five-course meal for her friends,” Kahn says. “I wasn’t feeling well one day when she was a teenager, and I came home to a pot of Tuscan soup and cornmeal muffins baking in the oven. It was just what I needed.”

SURE, SOME PLACES are around for 20 years, but it’s the rare restaurant that is still exciting after all that time. Plaza Frontenac fave Cardwell’s easily falls into that category, with a space that is still attractive and food that hasn’t missed a beat in all these years. And with plenty of competition from several new restaurants on the Plaza Frontenac grounds, Cardwell’s is still packing them in, which speaks volumes. So what’s the secret? For one thing, chef-owner Bill Cardwell is hands-on; often you can see him visiting with patrons at the bar or dashing in and out of the kitchen. And his dedication to fresh, seasonal foods—which, while trendy now, was not nearly as ubiquitous 20 years ago when he embraced it—permeates the menu. A longtime starter staple, Grilled House-Smoked Shrimp ($14.75), exemplifies the kitchen’s attention to detail. Three jumbo crustaceans are redolent with a sweet smokiness and light grill marks from their preparation. They could stand all alone, but don’t, since

Cardwell has paired them with a thick, sweet-tangy, grainy mustard. Also on the plate, a fried cheddar-pecan wafer and a mound of nutty, toasted rice pilaf that takes the dish from a mere ‘starter’ to a much heartier level. Entrees range from the simple (burgers, salads and sandwiches) to the intriguing, like the Low Country favorite, Frogmore Stew ($26.75). Whether you vacation in the Carolinas or not, this is a don’t-miss dish. The jumble of seafood and vegetables comes in a beautiful deep-red broth here (you eat with your eyes, too) that is layered with flavors. It’s well-seasoned and slightly spicy, with fragrant sweet basil as a dominant note and the slightest hint of something exotic—clove? In the generous serving are squash, calamari, shrimp, slices of scallop, mussels, salmon and premium whitefish, like halibut. The Australian Lamb Chops ($32.75) further illustrate the talent in the kitchen. Two double chops come in a very appetizing presentation: rubbed with herbs and spice on the outside and trimmed so well, the diner

The dish is a complete meal, with fresh green beans, a massive risotto cake and an eggplant involtini wrapped around creamy goat cheese and roasted red pepper. Same for Pan Roasted Boston Lemon Sole ($28.75), a plateful of perfection. The fish, two nice-sized fillets, were beautifully seared on top—to the point of caramelhued and crispy. They were covered in “truffle-buttered Ozark Forest exotic mushrooms,” which that night were oyster and lots of buttery little enokis. All of this sat atop a mix of sliced Savoy cabbage and Brussels sprouts in a buttery, creamy sauce. Yet more veggies—butterbraised heirloom carrots and positively orgasmic oliveoil poached baby russet potatoes—were on the plate. Most of the vegetables were local and identified as such. During two visits to Cardwell’s, I sampled five dishes, each one of them exemplary. So while I’ve always considered this place pricey, I do believe you get your money’s worth. Every cent.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE CALLED SLEEP “the balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course, chief nourisher in life’s feast.” He was right: Sleep is essential to our physical and mental health. But an estimated 40 million people in the U.S. suffer from chronic sleep disorders. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention links insufficient sleep to motor vehicle crashes, industrial accidents and occupational errors. Statistically, people who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to suffer from hypertension, diabetes, depression, obesity, cancer, and reduced productivity and quality of life. The sleep medicine specialists at SLUCare Physician Group treat the full range of issues that keep us awake at night. “Among the most common problems are insomnia, sleep apnea, shift work disorders, narcolepsy, sleepwalking and restless leg syndrome,” says Dr. Raman Malhotra, assistant professor of neurology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and co-director of SLUCare Physician Group’s Sleep Disorders Center. Many factors can contribute to sleep issues, notes Malhotra, who sees patients at Salus Center on the School of Medicine campus and at the Pediatric Sleep and Research Center at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. “Virtually every system in the body is affected by lack of sleep, so our sleep medicine program integrates a variety of disciplines and specialties,” he says. “No matter what the cause, our board-certified experts can evaluate your symptoms and offer the right treatment for your needs.” The team includes pulmonologists for breathing problems, neurologists for pain and seizures, psychiatrists for mood disorders and anxiety, endocrinologists for hormonal disturbances, and pediatric sleep specialists. “It’s crucial to treat kids early, because the long-term effects of sleep deprivation can be devastating to their academic success,” Malhotra adds. “And if kids can’t sleep, the parents are probably awake, too, so the entire family suffers.” Most patients can be diagnosed after a thorough medical history and a physical exam. But those with breathing difficulties or movement disorders might require a home sleep study or a night in SLUCare Physician Group’s sleep lab. “We attach sensors that measure brain activity, breathing and cardiac function, and we observe patients via infrared video,” Malhotra explains. “The information we collect is a valuable diagnostic tool.” The results can be life-changing. “A wife brought in her husband because he kept having episodes of disrupted breathing at night,” Malhotra recalls. “He complained of constant fatigue, even though he was only in his 40s, and he never felt like participating in family activities.” Sleep medicine specialists treated him for sleep apnea. “Now he looks like a new man, bright-eyed, alert and energetic,” Malhotra says. “His productivity at work is way up, and he’s planning his first family vacation in years.” If you can’t sleep, don’t try to tough it out, he adds. “We can help you—and you’ll be surprised at the difference it makes in your mood, health and well-being.” SLUCARE PHYSICIAN GROUP SLEEP DISORDERS CENTER IS LOCATED AT SALUS CENTER, 3545 LAFAYETTE AVE., STE. 1100.

MOST PEOPLE EXPERIENCE TROUBLE SLEEPING FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT WHEN SLEEP PROBLEMS INTERFERE WITH THE ABILITY TO FUNCTION, IT’S TIME TO SEE A DOCTOR. SLEEP ISSUES CAN BE BOTH THE SYMPTOM AND THE CAUSE OF SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES. FORTUNATELY, TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE, FROM ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION.

SLEEP & AGING

According to WebMD, half of people age 60 and older experience sleep problems. But don’t ignore it, because lack of sleep can lead to cardiovascular disease and decreased cognitive ability.

AN AGE OLD PROBLEM

YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY

THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?

TREATMENT, A TRICKY BUSINESS

It’s a misconception that seniors need less sleep, says Dr. Oscar Schwartz, a sleep medicine specialist and pulmonologist at BJC Medical Group Center for Sleep Medicine. In fact, Schwartz says poor or inadequate sleep can make you feel older—affecting your cognitive ability and causing you to feel more pain. “Just like diet and exercise, getting good sleep can promote longevity and life,” he says. Biological changes as we age can make it more difficult to get a good night’s sleep, says Dr. Joseph M. Ojile, medical director of Clayton Sleep Institute. He says we tend to spend less time in the deep REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and have more disruptions in sleep. The hormonal changes of menopause also can lead to awakenings and hot flashes, and restless leg syndrome also becomes more prevalent. “Sleep apnea goes up dramatically in the elderly,” Ojile notes. “The tissues in the back of the throat get looser, which can cause obstructive sleep apnea. Certain medications can play a role, too.” Finally, the aches and pains that frequently come with aging can make it difficult to sleep. “As we get older, more things hurt. Chronic pain, arthritis and diabetic neuropathy can make it difficult for the body to relax,” Schwartz says.

“Napping during the day for more than an hour or after 3 p.m. can disrupt sleeping at night and lead to a nonconsolidated sleep pattern,” Schwartz warns. He also sees patients who change their sleep patterns after retirement, staying up too late. Unfortunately, their internal clocks are still set for the work week, so they wake up early and don’t get enough sleep. Others fall into the opposite routine —going to sleep so early that they don’t sleep during the night. Known as ‘advanced sleep disorder,’ this pattern is a problem only if the individual is so out of sync that it affects their socializing, Ojile says. “The key is that within a 24-hour period they get the correct amount of sleep. If it’s not bothering them, there’s nothing biologically wrong with an atypical pattern,” he says. One treatment for advanced sleep disorder is light therapy in the afternoon, which prompts patients to stay up longer.

Not only can pain and disease cause sleep problems; lack of sleep also can make symptoms worse. “Quality of sleep and the duration of sleep can markedly increase sensitivity to pain,” Ojile says. Additionally, poor sleep can lead to memory loss similar to Alzheimer’s disease, increased risk for heart attacks and stroke, and a number of other diseases. Because sleep problems can drastically affect quality of life, Ojile says doctors are beginning to recognize the importance of treating sleep problems as part of the patient’s holistic care.

As people get older, they tend to not tolerate sleep medicine as well. “Prescription sleep aids are only recommended when the benefits outweigh the risks (i.e. increased risk of falling). It’s better to find out what is causing the problem and address that,” Schwartz says. He says cognitive behavioral therapy can be very effective in treating insomnia. “Psychologists are wonderful at teaching people how to sleep better. They can help you identify things you’re doing throughout the day that affect your sleep at night. Some people are worriers and have trouble turning their brains off to sleep.”

ON THE HORIZON F

Sleep disorder treatment options have improved greatly since the introduction in 1981 of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea. Here’s a look at the four biggest research areas in sleep medicine and how they may improve patient care in the near future.

F SLEEP & ALZHEIMER’S

Dr. Yo-El Ju, a researcher and sleep medicine specialist at Washington University Multidisciplinary Sleep Medicine Center, says the next 30 years hold amazing promise for the field. Ju is one of the researchers currently studying whether amyloid beta protein levels in the brain are influenced by quality of sleep. Amyloid plaques (or build up of the protein) are one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s. In earlier studies, researchers found that amyloid beta levels go down during sleep and then steadily rise during awake periods. According to Ju, one hypothesis is that during sleep, the brain clears out toxic waste, including the protein associated with Alzheimer’s. Poor sleep could lead to a build-up of the waste.

SLEEP & DIABETES F

According to Dr. Raman Malhotra, co-director of the SLUCare Sleep Disorders Center, sleep plays an important role in regulation of blood sugars, and research suggests that poor sleep may be a contributing factor in developing diabetes or pre-diabetes. “We know that many patients who have diabetes have poor sleep. This can be from getting up to go to the restroom or nerve pain. It is also very common for diabetics to have sleep apnea, which could be causing poor sleep and worsening blood sugar control,” Malhotra says. Conversely, people who are not getting good sleep have increased appetites and have a higher chance of being obese, both of which can lead to diabetes. Poor sleep also affects hormone levels at night.

F SLEEP & BRAIN VOLUME

“We know that some sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, can lead to decreased brain function (sleepiness, concentration difficulties, mood changes) and permanent structural changes in the brain,” says Malhotra. “It is also true that patients who suffer from neurological disorders (i.e. Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease) have poor sleep due to the symptoms of their neurological disorder, or direct damage from the condition to sleep controlling regions of the brain.” Sleep plays a vital role in recovery and repair of the brain. “We should value our sleep. It may seem like a good idea to stay up late to finish a task or do something fun, but this is not healthy for your body in the short and long term,” Malhotra says. “If you suffer from a neurological disorder, it is likely that you also suffer from a sleep disorder.”

HOME SLEEP STUDIES F

Advancements in technology have improved the ability to store and transmit large amounts of data through sleep studies at home. Patients like these because they’re more convenient; insurance companies like them because they’re more cost-effective. But not everyone is in favor. “As a sleep physician, my goal is to get as much data as possible and the best quality data, so I’m biased in favor of getting studies in the lab.” Ju says. According to Malhotra, home tests are recommended for people who are otherwise healthy and do not have any other suspected sleep problems or health conditions. “Home sleep testing is not appropriate in patients with heart failure, stroke, emphysema or where there is a concern for another sleep disorder besides sleep apnea. In addition, home sleep testing is not approved in children,” he says.

TREATMENT OPTIONS TOWN TALK

Alternative medicine has been growing in popularity for years. Local practitioners say they’ve seen an increase in patients looking for less pharmaceutical approaches to their problems with sleep.

TO STATE THE OBVIOUS

OTHER NATURAL OPTIONS

HYPNOSIS

It’s important to look at your lifestyle before you add supplements or pharmaceuticals, says Alethea Eller, D.C., a natural health care physician specializing in Chinese medicine, nutrition and chiropractic at Innovative Health Partners. “Unfortunately, most Americans receive their fair share of ‘uppers’ or stimulants throughout the day. I find that many sleep issues can be traced to caffeine consumption,” she notes. “While caffeine also negatively affects cortisol levels and fat storage, its sleep-hindering side effect tops the list.” Eller advises keeping caffeine levels as low as possible when trying to improve quality of sleep. Also, when people add 30 minutes of exercise to their day, improved sleep is one of the first benefits they notice.

Teas, herbs, oils, homeopathic remedies, massage, body work, acupuncture, meditation, and even pillows and devices can help you sleep better, according to Eller. She recommends consulting a physician before adding herbs, which can have a powerful medicinal effect. “I love using the essential oil combination of lavender and marjoram (dilute and spritz on your pillow or massage into neck and upper back muscles). Magnesium and L-Theanine are both nutrition products that are incredibly safe to try to help relax the body. I use herbs that have a sedative effect like valerian, jujube and passion flower,” she says. She also cautiously prescribes melatonin. “In small doses up to 3mg, it can be helpful. It is a hormone so it should only be used for short duration.” For select patients, including those who experience anxiety and have a hard time shutting off their brain at night, acupuncture is another option. Eller says acupuncture also can be helpful when pain and discomfort are factors in sleep loss. “Sleep is such a critical component of your health. Many of your repair processes and hormone productions anchor on a solid eight hours of deep sleep,” Eller says. “Natural products can provide relief, and sometimes a permanent solution. Good sleep is worth attaining. As your quality of sleep improves, the quality of your overall health will improve as well.”

If lifestyle changes are not enough, there are natural therapies available, including hypnosis. “Hypnosis can be very helpful to treat some sleep disorders,” says Joan Krueger, a certified hypnotherapist. “It works well for delayed sleep phase disorder and for advanced sleep phase disorder (circadian rhythm sleep disorders that affect the timing of sleep). It also can be helpful for people who suffer from sleepwalking.” Krueger says most patients come to her with the goal of quitting their current sleep medications. “The subconscious part of your mind is like a big filing cabinet,” she says. “It holds a record of everything you’ve ever experienced: all of your habits, behaviors, responses, reactions, memories and emotions. When you are in hypnosis, we get the subconscious part of your mind to open up intentionally (open the filing cabinet) so we can put a new ‘file’ in about how you want to function. After the session is over, your mind has new information from which to work.” As for choosing a hypnotist, Krueger recommends seeing someone who is certified with one of the national hypnosis organizations like the National Guild of Hypnotists. Also, ask how much experience the practitioner has and where he/she practices to make sure you’re comfortable.

[ PROBLEM SOLVED! ] THE HOME MANICURE by dorothy weiner | photo by bill barrett

I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY (my nail technician) that certain products are invaluable if you’re going to do your nails at home. We all know how to clip and file nails; some of us have even mastered the art of polishing with our non-dominant hand (necessity is the mother of invention). But all too often, the home manicure lasts all of two days, compared to the solid week you can get from a professional job. At least part of the problem is in the products; invest in a few premium necessities, and it will show in the results. You might not get a full week of beautiful nails, but you’ll be amazed by the improvement!

>easy peasy

>start with sticky

CUTEX ONE-STEP PADS

CND STICKEY BASE COAT

This is, hands down, the easiest way to remove old polish. Each pad has enough moisture to do an entire hand, and then some. Unfortunately, it won’t completely do both hands, so you may as well do the second hand with a second pad. There are several types, some with acetone, others without. WALGREENS, $4.19

This product by CND is aptly named. It creates a surface that helps your color adhere. Just apply one coat and allow to set a few minutes. Then move on to your favorite color. DOMINIC MICHAEL SALON, $8.50

>color me pretty O.P.I. NAIL LACQUER

O.P.I. comes with a thicker brush, which makes application easier and less prone to streaking. As with any polish, it becomes tacky after a while in the bottle, from constant opening and exposure to the air. Use a little polish thinner to remedy this—and always remember to clean off the rim with nail polish remover just before you start the manicure process (you can’t do it afterward because your nails are wet!)

SECHE VITE AND DABY

CUTEX CORRECTOR PEN

Translating to ‘dry quick’ in French, Seche Vite is the recommended top coat. Put it on after the second coat of color (third for really light shades), and allow to dry thoroughly before doing anything with your fingers. After at least 20 minutes, apply a coat of Daby, a nail hardener that sets the manicure even more. DOMINIC MICHAEL SALON, SECHE VITE, $7.50; DABY, $12.50

Ditch the Q-Tips and Kleenex; this handy gadget can erase your errors—within reason. And it has a refillable tip, so you can replace it with a fresh one when needed. WALGREENS, $4.29

GET THE[SOFIA LOOK VERGARA by marylyn simpson WHETHER SHE’S LIGHTING

PHOTO BY HELGA ESTEB / SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

up the small screen as the sassy Colombian bombshell Gloria DelgadoPritchett, or taking over the red carpet with her curve-hugging, megaglamorous gowns, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara is a beauty that has captured the attention of women—and men—young and old. With a flair for the flamboyant, Vergara successfully balances the appeal of long locks and dramatic makeup without appearing overly harsh, a feat many women struggle to attain. At the 66th primetime Emmy Awards, Vergara once again owned the red carpet, flaunting her perfectly tousled honey brown hair and attention-grabbing ruby lips. Just as achievable as it is beautiful, Vergara’s red carpet look requires nothing more than a few simple products. So, if you’re so inclined, you too can take your look from cute to va va vixen!

HAIR She may be a little biased as Head & Shoulders’ current spokeswoman, but that doesn’t mean the affordable shampoo won’t leave your hair looking red carpet ready.

1 | Create a straight center part in towel-dried hair. 2 | Next, blow-dry the top front section of hair away from your face. Use a boar-bristle round brush and roll the section under itself. Pin into place until cool.

3 | Continue blow-drying hair in two square sections. As with the front section, pin the other two sections in place until they’re cool enough to unpin and brush.

4 | Use a 1.5-inch curling iron (I love CONAIR’S CERAMIC TOOLS DUAL VOLTAGE CURLING

IRON), and add a slight bend to the shorter front layers. Continue to curl the ends of hair, and for any excess hold, brush out the tighter curls with a flat-face brush.

5 | Finish with LIVING PROOF’S INSTANT TEXTURE MIST. Thanks to its 48-hour hold, you’ll be able to rock your Vergara-inspired locks all weekend long!

MAKEUP 1 | Get Vergara’s peachy glow with COVERGIRL’S TRUBLEND LIQUID FOUNDATION IN CLASSIC TAN. Remember, matching the foundation to your skin tone is crucial. If you don’t have Vergara’s Colombian complexion, add some color by using CG’S CLEAN GLOW BRONZER IN SPICES around the forehead, bridge of nose and cheekbones. Finish the look with CG’S CLEAN GLOW BLUSH IN PEACHES.

2 | Get Vergara’s sultry eyes with little more than mascara and eyeshadow. Start with

COVERGIRL’S QUEEN COLLECTION SHADOW POT IN DAZZLE. Using a heavy hand, add CG’S CLUMP CLUSTER LASHBLAST mascara.

3 | Using her brand of choice, COVERGIRL OUTLAST ALL DAY LIPCOLOR IN

EVER-REDDY has defined her look, leaving Vergara with shiny smooth lips on and off the red carpet.

ERIC GUDMESTAD’S HOME sits just four houses down from the corner of Maryland Avenue and Hanley Road, a major selling point when he purchased it in 2012. Being in walking distance to the area’s countless restaurants and shops—not to mention the post office and library—is the perfect set-up, he says. A father of three, he recognizes the need for living in a quality school district and credits Clayton for offering a community that supports academics, athletics and the performing arts in both its private and public schools. And while the benefits of living in the city are numerous, Gudmestad says the house provides a nice, quiet retreat. “It’s a calming home,” he says. “When you’re inside, you’re home, and you’re not assaulted by city sounds.” His favorite area is the great room, which offers views of the sunset and neighborhood through its large bay window. “Everywhere you go, sunlight is pouring in,” he says. “There are skylights on the second level, so even the upstairs gets fantastic light.” Other favorite features include the upstairs library and separate den, the hot tub that sits just steps away from the master bedroom on the main floor, and the overall layout of the home, which offers plenty of space to spread out for entertaining. Gudmestad attributes the home’s zen-like atmosphere to its distinctive characteristics, like the indoor courtyard, which he landscaped after he moved in. “I love the uniqueness of the space. Guests stare at the courtyard when they first walk in, so it offers a very natural welcome with its large tree and meditation bench,” he says. He also redid the floors and, for the most part, was the main decision-maker when picking out furniture and decor. “I already had accumulated a lot of furniture before I moved in that fit perfectly into the space,” he explains. “I have a friend who is an architect and interior designer who was great to bounce ideas off. It was PHOTOS: TRIPLE R PHOTOGRAPHY a fun process.” The modern space also lends itself to expansion and customization through color. “There is a lot of opportunity to tailor the house to what you want it to be,” he notes. Since Gudmestad’s children are not all living at home anymore, he is looking for a smaller space. “I definitely want to stay in the same area, though,” he says.

[HOMEWORK DEAR HOMEWORK,

In January, we moved into a lovely old house on a busy road. It was screened from the road by a massive oak tree, so although the front of the house was a little lacking in curb appeal, we thought we’d have years to work on it. One rainy night in May, that tree unexpectedly fell over, so now we have a lackluster house front in full view from the street, and a bed of ivy and weeds where the tree used to be. What would you suggest?

BEFORE

——— OVEREXPOSED IN CLAYTON

DEAR OVEREXPOSED IN CLAYTON,

The architecture of your house feels rather ‘country,’ but your location is very ‘urbane.’ To balance the two, I would suggest the following landscape modifications: Trim back the ivy overhanging the stone wall. The stone looks great, but the ivy looks messy. I would top the wall with a clipped evergreen hedge, which will give a formal edge to the property and provide privacy from the street. Keep a level, horizontal top to the hedge and let it grow to the point where you have enough privacy from the road. Plant tall evergreens at the property edges to frame the house and screen from neighbors. Trim the lower branches of the tree to the right of the entry, so that the stairs to the entry porch are easily seen. Plant hundreds of seasonal flowers in front of the (trimmed) foundation plantings, to add color and charm. To balance the ‘country’ feel of the flowers and add a little formality, plant them in a straight line.

AFTER

If you frame your already charming house with crisply maintained plants, you will present a very handsome face to the passerby. Thanks for asking, ———HOMEWORK
