[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] As someone currently in an arm cast, I am going to take a cue from one of our special sections in this issue, Mission Possible, and focus on the positive. For one thing, people are just generally nicer to you: There must be this innate impulse to help the injured. I have had groceries carried for me, doors held open and offers of free coffee (by people in the Starbucks line who, no doubt, find it painful to watch me trying to get to my wallet). The biggest surprise, though, has been the courtesy extended by fellow drivers, who now often concede the right-of-way. (Of course, it doesn’t hurt to display my cast in full view while in the car.)

And having a temporary handicap has given me an appreciation for what that means to people who live with it every day. There are plenty of things I simply can’t do for myself right now. Just try to cut meat or carrot sticks one-handed.

And going for a daily morning walk has taken on a whole new meaning now that I can’t tie my sneakers. You learn to be very creative, though. I’ve gotten quite good at using an elbow to steady food while preparing dinner (this can, however get messy). And I can’t say enough about the versatility of teeth, although lunch companions might frown at my new method for tearing open sugar packets.

Typing, however, remains a challenge since it is dependent on a single forefinger—and I have to answer a lot of emails. I’m trying to turn that into a positive, too, tho. It gives me an excuse for using abbreviations that would shock grammarians, not to mention other short cuts .

COVER STORY

GLENNON ] CARD

by tony di martino

TOWN & STYLE READERS LOVE TO SHOP, DINE OUT AND VISIT the best salons and spas. They’re also among the most philanthropic residents of the metropolitan area, consistently putting their wallets where their hearts are by supporting worthy causes. And, like everyone else, they appreciate a good bargain.

Now they can do their favorite things at once with a single card. The Glennon Card is a discount program introduced two years ago by Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, which raises funds for SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, and the Glennon Guild, a 300-member women’s volunteer organization that supports the medical center. The card, which costs $50, entitles users to a 20 percent discount on regularly priced merchandise at more than 285 participating stores, restaurants and salons from Oct. 25 through Nov. 3—just in time to jumpstart your holiday shopping.

“It’s easy to recoup the cost of the card with just $250 in purchases,” says Brigette McMillin, who co-chairs the 2013 card program with sister Glennon Guild members Cindy Brooks and Sarah Dow. “Best of all, every cent from sales of the card benefits the 200,000 kids cared for each year at Cardinal Glennon. Last year we sold 2,000 cards—a more than 50 percent increase from the previous year— and raised more than $100,000 for the kids.” Additional community support, including a donation from Fifth Third Bank, increased the amount to more than $147,000, which was used to buy life-saving heart- and lung-monitoring equipment, and to enhance treatment programs for children with learning and developmental disabilities at Knights of Columbus Developmental Center at Cardinal Glennon.

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 they’ve never tried before,” McMillin says.

Glennon Card also boosts the local economy. “Store managers are our biggest cheerleaders,” she notes. “They’re delighted to support a good cause, and their businesses benefit from increased traffic and sales during one of the slowest shopping times of the year, the period between back to school and the holidays.”

The card is available online at glennoncard.org until Oct. 20, and at more than 100 participating merchants after Oct. 13. “Last year Williams-Sonoma at Plaza Frontenac sold 109 cards, more than any other merchant,” McMillin says. A complete list of merchants is available online; new this year is a mobile app, mobile.glennoncard.org, which lists and maps all participants. The discount program is presented

by Fifth Third Bank; co-sponsors include Town & Style, Show Me St. Louis and Plaza Frontenac.

“The response has been simply tremendous, and it grows stronger every year,” McMillin says.

More restaurants and a wider variety of stores are participating this year, she notes. “Glennon Card is the trifecta of fundraisers. Every time you use it, you save money, help local businesses and help sick kids. So get your Glennon Card and spread the love!”

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

In The St. Louis Night Before Christmas, written and illustrated

by Ryan Nusbickel, visions of sugarplums are replaced by gooey butter cake, and Santa Claus reveals where he went to high school. Nusbickel, who describes himself as “a former reporter at KMOV-Ch. 4 who somehow managed to win an Emmy despite spending way too much time drawing cartoons in the news van,” lives in South City with his wife and daughter. The book is available at a variety of local retailers, including Webster Groves Book Shop and STL Style, as well as amazon.com and stlnightbeforechristmas. com. Check the website for upcoming readings/signings

WINGS ON WHEELS, a mobile grief therapy program for kids, recently was

featured on NBC’s Today show. The brightly painted van, staffed by therapists from Wings (BJC’s pediatric hospice and palliative care program), travels throughout the community to help kids deal with loss through expressive therapy and artwork.

Offered at no charge to schools, churches, organizations and families, the service is funded by Friends of Wings.

Keith Richards, Elton John, Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift...sounds like the lineup at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but it’s actually part of designer Jeri Hart’s client list. Hart and her talented staff of artisans at jeri hart designs create hand-craft, custom guitar straps for musicians at their studio in Des Peres. A former radio account executive, Hart began working with leather and hardware 12 years ago, when she coveted a belt she couldn’t afford and decided to make her own. Local musician Johnny Henry saw it and suggested she start making guitar straps, and her first celeb client was none other than Keith Richards. “My manager at the radio station showed Keith one of my straps, and he loved it,” Hart recalls.

“He’s a sweetheart! He told all his musician friends about me, and once word got around that I was making straps for Keith, my business took off.”

TALK [TOWNS]

If you missed the carnival in Shaw Park last weekend that was part of the county seat’s year-long 100th birthday party for itself, there’s still a month or so to learn how to knot a bowtie for the ‘Party of the Century.’ You may not want to miss this one, hosted by the Clayton Century Foundation, because it’ll be 2113 when the next one comes around!

And the Ritz may be a spaceport by then. The blacktie gala Nov. 29 is billed as a ‘homecoming’ for people of all ages (well, over 21) to gather and celebrate ‘the soul of our shared community.’ Dancing may be the emphasis, if one is to interpret the logo for the event as two fannies doing The Bump, a disco-era dance.

Indubitably a once-in-a-lifetime event, the centennial closer will feature the St. Louis All Stars, ‘nostalgic food favorites and futuristic delicacies, a crowd champagne toast, open bar and mingling with celebrities who call St. Louis home!’ (Still can’t quite get that tie tied?

Nobody will know you’re wearing a clip-on.)

If it seems as though Walmart can build wherever it wants, you haven’t been following what’s been going on in the feisty little ’burb of Ellisville. The retail giant had applied for a conditional-use permit for a plot on Manchester Road west of Kiefer Creek Road and got one from the previous

city council. With a new council and new mayor, Adam Paul, the city opened eyes wide by then giving the permit a thumbs-down. One can imagine that $10 million in TIF monies for the $50 million project stuck in their craw. Although it seemed as though the Bentonville, Ark., behemoth had folded its tent when last month it announced it was pulling out of the proposed project, residents report that polling companies are still calling to gauge their interest in such a Supercenter nearby.

(Subtle hint to the fine folks of Ellisville: Tell them you’re just fine with driving a couple clicks east to shop at the store in Ballwin.) The eventual outcome, of course, remains to be seen: If anyone is adept at fighting city hall–plus buying out residential properties (don’t get us started)—it’s Walmart.

What should we call a female knucklehead: A knuckleheadette, or a knuckleheadress?

Talk amongst yourselves as we tell you this sordid tale. A Kirkwood woman (girl?), 17, is the younger of two gun-toting teens who helped a McDonald’s manager in Valley Park attempt an inside job staged to look like an armed robbery. Cops say the manager, 20, got the women to hold up the fastfood joint while he was on the clock. He emptied all the cash from the safe, put it in a bag and handed it over.

It was unclear whether he asked the gun molls if they wanted fries with that. What the Kirkwood suspect got, as well as her friend, 18, was a trip to the county clink in lieu of $45,000 bond, probably a few dollars more than was in the bag.

Schlafly was a wee upstart when it began making craft beers 22 years ago, which is ancient history in the brewing industry— way before that special word for beers from small breweries was crafted. Now called the

It was awfully close, but no cigar for Tikka Tikka Taco in the Great Food Truck Race put on and aired by Food Network … not that the Chesterfield competitors would have wanted a cigar. (That wouldn’t have been kind to the palate.) A $50,000 food truck was the prize, which went to Aloha Plate, a Hawaiian team.

The race involved a trek of thousands of miles, with stops to conduct business in cities great and small.

Michael and Shaun Swaleh and their Uncle Sam ‘Amoo’ Swaleh came up short by about $3,000 in earnings, even though they were ahead about $1,000 when they rolled into their final stop: Washington, D.C. Part of the challenge is to prepare your competitors’ signature dishes. Another is simply the thicket that food trucks must negotiate every day: finding a great spot to park. Tikka Tikka Taco had to find prime curbsides both in Arlington, Va., and the nation’s capital; although the team had surged with strong sales in Annapolis, Md., Aloha Plate busted more belts in Beltway land. The Swaleh team mixes up and dishes out ‘IndoPak’ Indian and Pakistani fare. (The $3,000 mistake: FN Dish reports Aloha Plate regrets not seasoning the crab more with tikka spices.)

The network’s fourth season of the show started out with seven teams and also hit the streets in North Dakota and Chicago—and, with a 4,000-mile route, avoiding breakdowns is as much on a mobile restaurateur’s mind as what to serve up.

MAPLEWOOD

‘Bottleworks,’ it was a mere tap room when it set up shop in Maplewood, on Southwest Avenue just off Manchester Road. Schlafly’s 1991 output was approximately 1,000 barrels; the company’s production today is nearly 60 times that. Crafting (OK, brewing) about 50 varieties, Schlafly produces as many as 60,000 barrels annually. Well, you craft-brew lovers, raise your frosty mugs: To the tune of around $20 million, the company plans to expand either in St. Louis city or county. Meanwhile, it will invest approximately $1.5 million on improvements at its home base. How crafty of them.

A tax increase. Did those three words just make your stomach churn, or heart skip a beat? We don’t mean to be hazardous to your health as much as catch your attention about one of our most beloved cultural institutions, the Saint Louis Zoo, which gets about $20 million annually from the

taxpayers in St. Louis city and county. Admission is free for all, which is where this verbal free-for-all really starts. ‘Illinaliens’ don’t pay admission. Neither do residents of St. Charles and Jefferson counties, nor of any other entity within a hop, skip or jump of the Zoo. This sets the stage for the Zoo’s ambitious expansion plans, which would eat up the equivalent of five years’ worth of taxes: $100 million. And include a gondola to carry visitors over Interstate 64 / Highway 40, an aquarium and lots of other neat stuff. This debate didn’t just start this year. Contiguous counties, including those separated by only a state line or river, can go all out without putting any in. They don’t get an institution within their boundaries, so why should they

State Rep. Rory Ellinger, D-U. City, spoke at a forum last month in Columbia, Mo., on marijuana policy. Ellinger is among Missouri legislators in favor of relaxing the state’s marijuana laws and considering a renewed push for reforms.

Earlier this year, Ellinger backed legislation that would have made possession of small amounts of pot a lowlevel misdemeanor with no jail time, similar to a traffic ticket, as is the case in Columbia and St. Louis. Begs the questions: Where are folks found to be in possession? In the car. How? Cops who’ve pulled drivers over detect a smell akin to burning rope. Are these drivers impaired? Maybe. If so, in what way, and how would it be measured? Too many questions remain unanswered, IMHO. Let’s not rush to judgment in Jeff City.

Speaking of, the folks in Jeff City didn’t name Webster Groves the state’s 2013 Creative Community for nothing. Two Trovas, among other fine sculptures, will take up residence here in the not-too-distant future. Ceremonial shovels will be at the ready on Oct. 12 at an 11 a.m. groundbreaking for the Webster Groves Sculpture Garden. The project is in the ‘valley’ where Gore Avenue crosses Kirkham Road, on two triangular bits of ground divided roughly in half by Gore. (Two isosceles triangles, for you engineers … or secondaryschool geometry whizzes.)

Landesign, of Wentzville, was awarded $244,900 to begin the project. The pieces by St. Louisan Ernest Trova are coming to the site on long-term loan from Laumeier Sculpture Park. Fitting: They themselves were among the first installations there. The late Trova can be seen in photos from the era with the county’s dignitaries of the time; he donated several pieces upon the park’s 1976 founding. (Neither is in his iconic ‘Falling Man’ series. Abstract Variation No. 1 and T-Gox #7, both in storage, are painted cor-ten steel pieces that will receive technical TLC before repainting and installation.)

Another piece is a commission by artist Catherine Magel, funded through private donations. Other commissions are expected, depending on the generosity of area art-lovers, not to mention aesthetics—space afforded by the site is a tad scarce.

returns home days later, healthy and strong. A 7-year-old with a brain tumor says to his mom as he’s wheeled to the OR for surgery, “I hope I don’t miss the first day of school.” He gets his wish. And a 13-year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder, previously unable to express affection, hugs a dog for the first time in his life.

Dan Buck, executive director of Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, sees miracles every single day. “Thanks to the amazing team of physicians and other caregivers at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, sick and injured kids get better,” Buck says. “I’ve got the best job in town!”

The Foundation is the medical center’s fundraising arm. “It’s our job to create strong partnerships with individuals, businesses and organizations throughout the region,” Buck explains.

“Their support helps us build, improve and sustain dozens of critical departments, programs and treatment centers, enabling us to help everyone who needs it. We never turn away a sick child, even if their family can’t afford health care.”

A key Foundation initiative is the annual Glennon Card program, launched in partnership with the Cardinal Glennon Guild, a 300-member women’s volunteer organization. The $50 card entitles holders to a 20 percent discount at more than 285 participating stores, restaurants and spas from Oct. 25 through Nov. 3. “And, thanks to the generosity of sponsors such as Fifth Third Bank, all proceeds from card sales directly benefit kids at the hospital,” Buck says.

The first Glennon Card campaign in 2011 raised more than $65,000; last year’s campaign raised more than $147,000. Among the programs benefiting from the proceeds was the Knights of Columbus Developmental Center at Cardinal Glennon, the largest autism center in eastern Missouri. “The staff does remarkable work with kids who have autism and other developmental disorders,” Buck says.

“Because of Glennon Card, we’ve been able to double the number of space at the center and more than double the number of kids helped, from 185 per month to 490. We’ve also been able to enhance treatment programs, hire three additional speech and occupational therapists, and upgrade and build a conveniently located parking area to make things easier for families.”

Buck is proud of how the Glennon Card has grown: “We’re thrilled to have support from so many area businesses and consumers,” he says. It’s a great tool for communicating the Cardinal Glennon mission to an ever-widening audience, he adds. “Last year we sold 2,000 cards, more than twice as many as the previous year. It means so much to us when merchants say yes to us, and when so many St. Louians buy a card. It’s a vote of confidence in our work. They’re helping us provide compassionate care for sick children and restore hope to their families—and our gratitude is immense.” ®

CARD [ Companies That Care ] by stephanie zeilenga | photos by bill barrett

All stores participating in the Glennon Card program are important allies in helping kids. But sometimes a business becomes more personally involved, contributing time, goods and energy to lighten the emotional burden of young patients and their families.

[ COMPANION BAKERY ]

Nothing is sweeter than a homemade meal, especially when someone is sick, having a bad day or just needs a little TLC. This is the motivation behind Companion Bakery’s participation in Friends of Kids With Cancer’s Munchie Mondays program, which provides young cancer patients and their families with a weekly lunch.

Companion Bakery delivers fresh sandwiches, cookies and chips to Cardinal Glennon’s Bob Costas Cancer Center monthly. Around 40 people are fed each time. “When you see a 2-year-old walk around with an IV, it’s so gratifying if you can make their day a little better by taking lunch to them,” says Siena Cargas, Companion Bakery director of catering and special events.

Companion’s involvement with Cardinal Glennon started with the bakery’s donation of food to Art From the Heart, the art therapy program run by Friends of Kids with Cancer. “When you go to these events and see how sick these children are, and the devastation on the families’ faces, you can’t help but want to get involved,” Cargas says.

Lunch might not seem like a big deal when compared SIENA CARGAS AND JODI ALLEN to all the vital treatment and medicine cancer patients OF COMPANION BAKERY receive, but it brightens kids’ days and that, Cargas says, is invaluable. “Their faces light up, and so do their parents’ faces,” she says. “It just takes the kids out of that zone of the needles and the medicine. It’s really hard when you go into the cancer center and the kids are crying because they’re tired of being poked or they just feel so sick. These kids and their families are in a tough spot, and if you can make their day a little better, it’s so worth it.”

[ ART MART ]

At Cardinal Glennon, healing comes in the form of surgery, medication and physical therapy. But art also can be therapeutic. Art Mart helps provide that creative outlet to sick kids by donating art supplies to Cardinal Glennon’s Footprints program, which helps children with life-threatening illnesses live a fuller life.

“We know the impact this has for kids, taking their minds off health issues,” says Art Mart owner Keith Baizer, “It’s great for them to have a creative outlet, to be able to throw something down on paper or sculpt something. Anytime anyone can take these kids’ minds off their illnesses and make them smile, it’s worthwhile.”

Beyond involvement with Footprints, Art Mart donates art supplies to Cardinal Glennon’s Knights of Columbus Developmental Center, which provides resources for kids with autism. Another Art Mart-sponsored program is ‘Say Yes to Art,’ which the business has been running intermittently for the past 10 years. The program teaches art to children and adults at community centers and hospitals, including MAGGIE McCART AND KEITH Cardinal Glennon. “One of our core values is that we care to BAIZER OF ART MART give back,” Baizer says.

Although ‘Say Yes to Art’ was recently put on hiatus, the program will restart soon. “We are really excited about it,” says Art Mart studio manager Maggie McCart. “Those kids are not in the most fun environment, so we want to bring them something fun. When you’re not feeling good or things aren’t going a certain way in your life, it’s great to be able to be creative and portray those feelings through art.”

OCTOBER 9, 2013

Michael Wagner confidently reads his book aloud. Just a few months ago, that would have been a big challenge.

Michael has some developmental delays, and his family has tried for years to find ways to help him thrive. Their search led them earlier this year to the Knights of Columbus Developmental Center, and since then, the 8 1/2-year-old boy has shown marked improvements in school and at home. “It’s been the best thing for our family, for Michael,” says Ann Wagner, his mother. “I’ve been able to see so many positive things in Michael, and it has helped us formulate behavior management at home and at school.”

Michael’s delays manifest themselves in a variety of ways, ranging from ADHD to motor skill challenges. His parents and teachers have been stumped about the best ways to help him succeed socially and in the classroom. “Even though he received some special services at school, he’s a one-of-a-kind kid. Some of the programming just wasn’t working for him,” Wagner says. Most of the doctors the family visited were not effective, she explains. “After going through various specialists and other programs, we were meeting dead ends everywhere.

We’ve worked with a psychologist, neurologist, different counselors, and Michael’s tried medication. It’s always come back to, ‘Well, he’s a tricky kid.’” That answer wasn’t good enough for Wagner. “Well, he’s my son,” she says. “We need to find things that are beneficial for him and will help him have a great life.”

So the family turned to the Knights of Columbus Developmental Center. Founded in 1981, the center, located adjacent to SSM Cardinal Glennon, is a state-designated Missouri Center for Autism. Michael looks forward to his weekly sessions with psychologist Dr. Michael Bunis, and practices life skills through the canine therapy program. He recently became comfortable with brushing his teeth through Higgins, a big black dog. “Michael was able to brush Higgins’ teeth and see that the dog could tolerate it, and that gave him the encouragement to try it on his own,” Wagner says.

His mother now feels hopeful. “We’ve noticed improvements in his social interactions with others, maintaining eye contact with other people, focusing on conversations and being part of conversations,” Wagner says. “Academically he’s shown some improvement as well. He’s really trying hard to make and maintain friends now that he’s been given some skills to work on. He’s more willing to help around the house and not do so much complaining about things.”

Seeing her son thrive has dispelled Wagner’s initial skepticism about yet another set of doctors. “The whole staff at Knights of Columbus has been awesome,” she says. “I can call in with any kind of question. They never make me feel like I’m bothering them or my questions are irrelevant.” Most important, they don’t view Michael as just another tricky kid.

“They’ve taken the diagnosis away, and [put] that emphasis back on looking at Michael as a whole person.”

[ Alex Wangerin ] A MAJOR LEAGUE ACT OF KINDNESS made

Alex Wangerin’s birthday extra special this year. The 10-year-old Wildwood resident was recovering from colon surgery related to his cancer treatment when Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday visited the fourth floor of Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Wangerin, a big sports fan, was thrilled. “That was very exciting,” reports his mother, Michele Wangerin.

But later that night, when Alex was asleep, Holliday returned with an unscheduled surprise. Remembering it was the boy’s birthday, he came to drop off a unique present: the home run baseball he’d hit in the game just hours before. “‘I wanted him to have this ball for his birthday,’” Wangerin recalls the ballplayer saying. “I was in shock; he walked in all by himself.”

She accepted the gift, quietly showed Holliday photos of her son playing sports before he got sick, then bid him goodnight.

“He was so giving, very very nice,” Wangerin says.

The Wangerins have plenty of experience with the thoughtfulness of others. This is the family’s second battle with cancer, because Alex has struggled with aggressive lymphoma before, when he was 5 years old. “After 7 months of treatment, it went into remission and basically was cured, we thought,” Wangerin says. They didn’t know then that Alex has a rare immune disorder that makes him susceptible to relapses. “He got over it, started school, had four years of complete health, and then in the spring he got sick again,” his mom says. After years of normalcy, the family once more found themselves making frequent trips to the hospital.

Alex has remained upbeat, according to his mother. He doesn’t remember much from his previous illness, other than many trips to the doctor. “He’s amazing. He’s so energetic,” she says. “He’s pretty positive, actually. That helps me keep things in perspective.” The athletic 10-year-old, who plays baseball and basketball, finds ways to stay active. “Even in the hospital, we’d play catch with a Nerf ball when he’s lying in bed.” In November, Alex will receive a bone marrow transplant from his 20-year-old sister, who is a perfect donor match.

The hospital has made the experience as pleasant as it can be, Wangerin says, as have neighbors and friends. “The care has been great, the doctors are amazing. Everyone is good to Alex,” she says. “The amazing love we have felt from our community, our neighborhood and our friends, it’s almost beyond words.” Cards, food and prayers have poured in from people the family doesn’t even know well. Before a recent game, the Eureka High School football team, for which the Wangerins’ oldest son plays, gave Alex a jersey with his favorite number, 6, let him do the coin toss, and chanted his name as he walked off the field. And the Hollidays keep in touch, too: In September, they sent Alex tickets to a Cardinals game.

BALLROOM DANCE ACADEMY ] OF ST. LOUIS

PART OF

MILEY CYRUS TWERKING IN A LATEX BIKINI may pass for dancing in some circles.

But most of us remember gentler days when partners would waltz, foxtrot and tango with no help whatsoever from a large foam finger. Ballroom Dance Academy of St. Louis (BDASL) is dedicated to preserving and promoting ballroom-style dancing as an important component of American culture and education. The organization, established in 2008, provides dance classes and community outreach programs for low-income kids and seniors throughout the metropolitan area.

“Ballroom dancing is a marvelous way to meet people and socialize,” says occupational therapist Marsha Shepley, co-founder of BDASL. “It’s also a terrific form of exercise you can do for your entire life.” She speaks from experience: she discovered dance when tennis became too hard on her joints. “Dancing strengthens muscles, tones up the cardiovascular system, enhances memory and concentration, and improves endurance, balance, posture and coordination,” she notes. “It also develops poise and confidence. Best of all, people really enjoy it—so they stick with it!”

BDASL supplies shoes and costumes for all scholarships students, and also serves healthy snacks after each lesson. The organization’s offices and studios are headquartered at the Mahler Ballroom, located in a landmark home in the Central West End. The breathtaking, 4,000-square-foot ballroom, part of a house originally built in 1907 by famed Union Station architect Theodore Link, features soaring ceilings, four sweeping staircases, ornate balconies, rococo-style moldings, and 17 glittering Austrian crystal chandeliers.

This grand dame, originally owned by European immigrant and dance instructor Albert Mahler, had lost its luster until Shepley began renovating it in 2004. “I wandered in and asked if I could rent space to practice my dance moves, but they turned me down,” Shepley recalls. “So I bought it!”

The mansion is now a sought-after venue for wedding receptions and other events.

The ballroom is the scene of Belle Epoque Circus Party Extraordinaire, a fundraiser for BDASL that takes place Nov. 9. The money raised will provide scholarships for public school students and seniors, including those living nearby at McCormack Baron senior housing development. It also supports the organization’s annual recital and community performances, including the dancers’ appearance at the upcoming St. Louis Developmental Disabilities Ball at City Hall. Sam Clark and Gene and Betty Fedor serve as honorary chairmen, and Becky Zaccarello is chairman.

The power of ballroom dance to transform participants of all ages and abilities never fails to move Shepley. She has seen the shy come out of their shells, the clumsy become swans, and the rowdy turn courteous. “When our seniors and kids perform together, as they did at the Novus International Art Walk last spring, it’s lovely to see their mutually respectful bond,” she says. Dance is better than Prozac when it comes to lifting spirits, she adds: “A wheelchair-bound senior who used to keep to himself now excitedly tells his neighbors, ‘I’m going dancing!’”

THE BELLE EPOQUE CIRCUS PARTY EXTRAORDINAIRE, BENEFITING THE BALLROOM DANCE ACADEMY OF ST. LOUIS, TAKES PLACE NOV. 9 AT THE MAHLER BALLROOM, 4915 WASHINGTON AVE. TICKETS START AT $150. PICTURED ON THE COVER: BDASL STUDENTS HANNAH WELDON, MEKHI POWELL, KATE GOODBERLET, DEMETRIUS THOMPSON AND HEAVEN HOWARD.

“

[ tricks of the trade ]

A: Be careful not to be too casual or too dressy. A suit or day dress (not too short) is optimal, in light, neutral colors or a floral pattern. Because the wedding is during the day, it’s best to stay away from beaded or black—these can be construed as formal and overdressed. And avoid calling attention to yourself; the focus is on the bride.

”

[THE SHELDON ART GALLERIES’ ‘DIVAS AND DESIGNERS’ OCT. 25 ] CELEBRATE AN ELEGANT evening, a la Hollywood, at The Sheldon Art Galleries and Concert Hall. This unique music and art event is inspired by the exhibition “Glamour: Costumes & Images from the Collection of Mary Strauss.” Erin Bode and Coco Soul each perform, followed by a fashion show of gala attire from Neiman Marcus and Distinctions.

Proceeds will benefit the exhibitions and educational programs of the Sheldon Art Galleries.

What to wear on The Sheldon’s red carpet? Think of film and theater fashions from Hollywood and Broadway. Be as elegant, regal or eclectic as you want. Or consider incorporating a leather motorcycle jacket over a slinky gown, or stylish booties with a cocktail dress.

There is latitude with the attire in this kind of event, so put your own twist on your outfit. Think ‘St. Louis meets Hollywood.’ For more information, go to thesheldon.org

[BACKTALK A NEW KIND OF ADVICE COLUMN by raschelle burton & patty hannum AT WHAT AGE DO YOU THINK KIDS SHOULD STOP TRICK-OR-TREATING? I AM SO TIRED OF KIDS WHO ARE SPORTING FACIAL HAIR KNOCKING ON MY DOOR FOR CANDY. —HALLOWEEN SCROOGE

PATTY: I have to agree with you, if they are able to grow a beard, they don’t deserve a snack-size bag of Skittles from me. At that age, they should be able to get some sort of part-time job and buy their own darn Skittles. I think once a child is old enough to go out trick-or-treating without adult supervision is about the time they should stop. I turn off the lights and close the door at 8 p.m. to deter any bearded trick-or-treaters. And if they come earlier than that, I make sure to inquire as to where their little sister or brother is, because certainly they are “too old to be trick-or-treating themselves.” Fingers crossed; my house has not yet been egged.

RASCHELLE: Children should stop trick-or-treating before they ever start. That’s right, children should never trick or treat. This is one holiday I simply cannot get behind. I despise it, and every year I try to start a movement to end this travesty. Why do we dress our kids (not to mention ourselves) in random rags and send them out to do the very thing we tell them never to do: take candy from strangers? Hello! How is this good? One reason I love my neighborhood is that we don’t get trick-or-treaters. I just don’t understand the complaints on Nov 1: Why are people sad that kids they don’t know didn’t show up to beg for candy? If you want your kids to gorge on candy, buy big bags of it and give it to them. But I recommend demanding something better than a joke or song in return.

I AM TRYING TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE HALLOWEEN COSTUME FOR MY 8-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO WEAR, BUT EVERY OUTFIT SEEMS WAY TOO SKIMPY AND SEXY. IS IT JUST ME, OR HAS HALLOWEEN LOST SOME OF ITS OLD FASHIONED FUN? SUGGESTIONS? —MISSING THE DAYS OF BOBBIN’ FOR APPLES

PATTY: You know, the only thing bobbin’ for apples gave me was a very bad case of strep throat. So I am glad to see that game go. I do agree with you about Halloween costumes, though. At some point, Hugh Hefner and Playboy Enterprises became their primary designer. You can no longer find a plain pirate costume—it has to be a sexy pirate costume. So let’s stop the madness! Start talking to your daughter about dressing up as one of the world’s most powerful women: former Secretaries of State Hillary Rodham Clinton or Condoleezza Rice. You can be assured no one else in her class will be dressed in a pantsuit and carrying a briefing paper as a prop. Perhaps she can convince some of her friends to act as her Secret Service agents. I guarantee you, any little girl who appears on my doorstep dressed as Mrs. Clinton or Ms. Rice will get twice as much candy!

RASCHELLE:

Every time I have to talk about Halloween, my will to live is diminished; so can we please stop? Nothing about this holiday is good; not the premise, not the origins, not the behavior, so why would the costumes be any better? One of the most important things in problem solving is identifying the right problem, or as we say in the corporate world, the root cause—and solve for that. In this case, the costumes are but a symptom of what is wrong here. Solving that symptom doesn’t really fix the problem, in fact it just masks it further. Dressing as HRC or Condi doesn’t make anything better; in fact it makes it worse. So here’s what I think: let’s cancel Halloween. Let’s once and for all vanquish this preposterous holiday, and possibly prevent anyone else from getting the strep throat that Patty suffered as a child. No, you say? OK, well I just had to try once more to get my one-woman, let’s-cancel-Halloween movement started. >> RASCHELLE BURTON SPENT MANY YEARS WINNING BEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTESTS. HER FAVORITE WAS THE YEAR SHE AND FOUR FRIENDS WENT AS THE “LOOKS LIKE A PUMP, FEELS LIKE A SNEAKER” BASKETBALL TEAM. >>PATTY HANNUM WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU ON THIS HALLOWEEN, “WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T FALL ASLEEP.”

OCTOBER 9, 2013

A three-year, $566,640 grant from the National Institutes of Health will fund malaria research at Saint Louis University’s Center for World Health. The studies will examine new classes of drugs with the potential to treat the disease, which has become resistant to several medications.

A five-year, $7.8 million grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health will fund red blood cell transfusion research at Washington University School of Medicine. The studies will examine whether transfusions of fresh red blood cells improve prognoses for critically ill children. Blood may be banked in the U.S. for up to 42 days, but scientists don’t know whether fresh blood cells perform more effectively than older cells.

intellectual disabilities insight Genetic intellectual disabilities may be linked to malformed nerve cells, according to research from Washington University School of Medicine. A mutation that prevents cells from forming “antennae” that monitor the environment also causes intellectual disability, and the two consequences may be connected, since these antennae may direct cell functions. YOSHIHO IKEUCHI is the first author of the study, published in Cell Reports.

super screener Supercomputers are aiding researchers as they look for cures for dementia. JOHN BEALE, professor of medicinal chemistry and pharmacognosy at St. Louis College of Pharmacy, uses a supercomputer to screen as many as 4,000 potentially beneficial drug compounds in 24 hours, searching for those that bind well with protein targets. Effective, stable drugs are then tested in the lab.

Beale’s research has yielded several possible drug treatments.

delayed aging A protein called Sirt1 triggers neural activity in the brain, changes in skeletal muscle and increases in longevity, according to new research from Washington University School of Medicine. Mice with overexpression of Sirt1 in their brains demonstrated delays in the onset of aging, a finding that could one day lead to brain manipulation for extended life spans. The study, published in Cell Metabolism, was led by DR. SHIN-ICHIRO IMAI.

asthma and air pollution REBECCA GERNES, who studies air pollution and asthma at the Brown School at Washington University, was selected to participate in the EPA’s Toxic Release Inventories Challenge. Working with the Metro East Community Air Project, Gernes will use computer mapping to create information sources examining how air pollution in East St. Louis affects residents.

HEALTH&BEAUTY

[ BRIDAL BEAUTY by mary konroy

nails // Amazing! That’s how you want to look on your wedding day, so take time now to concentrate on your personal wish list. Whether it’s toned muscles or a trimmer torso, radiant skin or a flawless manicure, schedule the right procedure in advance.

What tiny detail can derail the all-important wedding ring photograph? Not having a professional nail technician tend to the bride’s hands, says DENISE BAICH, DIRECTOR OF CLEANSPA, a medically supervised nail salon.

“Moisturizing and treatments for beautiful hands on the big day can begin several months prior to the event,” Baich says. “The time frame should be based on how quickly her nails grow and what she envisions for the big day.”

The most popular bridal manicure at CleanSpa is the gel polish French manicure, Baich notes. “The polish sets immediately, there are no smudges and the polish lasts longer than traditional lacquer color,” she says. “The manicure will probably last through the honeymoon.”

For glossy nails, Baich recommends the Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab base coat and top coat. “We use it for all of our manicures at no additional cost,” she says. “It’s a simple, two-step system that gives you the lasting look of a gel manicure with regular nail lacquer. It’s safe, simple and a cinch to remove.”

Plastic Surgery

talk

with Dr. William G. Hart, Jr.

Caring for Over-Exposed Summer Skin After summer is over, we often hear from our patients requesting information on how to best care for and protect their sun-damaged skin.

First, we cannot stress enough the importance of sun protection. Topical sunscreens with UV blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide used on a daily basis are best. In addition, we recommend wearing a hat and longsleeved shirts to reduce exposure.

In the case of the skin pigmentation disorders like melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), topical treatments include retinoids, azelaic acid, hydroquinone, chemical peels and cosmeceuticals. These treatments should always be supervised and it’s important to realize that it often takes time for a patient to see marked improvement.

Also, superficial chemical peels, when properly applied, are generally effective for management of melasma and PIH. If you have any questions or other topics you’d like to know more about, email us at DrHart@HartMD.com.

[ diet & lipo: like salt and pepper, they work together. ] Liposuction isn’t a surrogate for diet and exercise. It’s the reward for your hard work. >> dr. terry myckatyn, WEST COUNTY PLASTIC SURGEONS OF WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

Schedule liposuction at least one month in advance of the big date, although optimal results may take up to three months. The type of device used depends upon which body part is bothersome, but the experience and board-certification of the plastic surgeon who performs the procedure trump any particular liposuction machine.

For the thighs, I recommend standard liposuction. After the area is numbed, a hollow wand called a cannula is inserted in a tiny incision. As the surgeon moves the cannula back and forth, fat is withdrawn. For the belly, I recommend our HydraSolve, which uses heat and water jets to separate fat from surrounding tissue with virtually no blood loss. The best results with either technique occur when the patient is at her optimum weight.

Cosmetic procedures are not a surrogate for diet and exercise. They’re the reward.

CoolSculpting, or freezing the fat, is an option for patients who don’t want surgery but want to eliminate unwanted fat. It takes longer to achieve results with CoolSculpting, and the results are less dramatic with liposuction.

>> dr. judith gurley, PLASTIC SURGEON

Liposuction allows a bride to choose a dress she may not have considered before.

But it isn’t a diet tool. It’s a way to improve one’s shape and reduce inches. It’s also a way to change one’s genetically predetermined shape—permanently. Lipo affects the fat between the skin and the muscles. Once the targeted fat cells are removed, they’re gone forever. The notion that lipo will cause fat to migrate to another location is a misconception. If you have lipo and then gain weight, you are less likely to gain it where the liposuction was performed.

The best candidates for lipo are patients who are close to their ideal body weight and who have stubborn pockets of fat on areas such as the inner and outer thighs, tummy, hips, arms, back and chin. I strongly recommend liposuction be performed in an operating room with the patient receiving anesthesia. It’s safe, less painful and more efficient. Two liters of fat can be suctioned in one hour. It would take several hours in an in-office setting to accomplish that.

Lipo is powerful tool, but choose your provider carefully. A board-certified plastic surgeon is the way to go.

[ pre-wedding facial procedures ] Suggestions for the bride-to-be and the mother of the bride and groom: >> dr. dee anna glaser, SLUCARE DERMATOLOGIST

Microdermabrasion or a series of superficial chemical peels are two popular choices for young brides who want their skin to glow. Microdermabrasion is like a vacuum sweeper; it suctions debris from pores, whereas chemical peels exfoliate skin and stimulate blood flow. Either procedure leaves skin a smooth, perfect palette for applying makeup. If you have good skin and just need to freshen it, start either procedure two to three months before your wedding—or even more in advance, if your skin is sensitive.

Acne scars need more time. I treat them with a fractionated laser to improve skin texture. Depending on their severity, scars may need a series of treatments, from six months to maybe a year before the wedding.

A little Botox in the frown lines or crow’s feet area helps skin look more relaxed and relieves scowl lines for better photographs. Occasionally I use a bit of Botox to make gum lines less noticeable in brides with big smiles. And, for bridal parties traveling to destination weddings in warm locations, I suggest Botox under the arms. It cuts down on sweating.

>> jackie carr, ADULT NURSE PRACTITIONER, AESTHETIC MEDISPA OF WEST COUNTY

Popular facial procedures for the mother of the bride or groom include Botox and dermal fillers. They reduce lines and wrinkles, and generally provide a nice improvement in a minimum amount of time. But any injection can result in residual bruising. Dermal fillers may also result in temporary swelling. It’s good to start either procedure at least three months in advance to achieve the look you want. I also believe it’s best to build up dermal fillers over time. Right before the wedding is not the time to experiment.

A procedure called eCO2 fractional laser skin resurfacing reduces lines and wrinkles, stimulates collagen, lessens skin discoloration and improves the skin overall. It’s best performed three to six months in advance of the wedding as there can be significant healing involved, especially if we’re trying to get aggressive results. Furthermore, it’s a good idea to start a good skin-care regimen and stay out of the sun prior to the skin resurfacing, and then maintain those skincare habits to preserve the results.

20 MINUTES TO FITNESS – ST. LOUIS The bride-to-be might be the right weight for her size, but not have the shape she desires. Her weight might be distributed in the wrong places, and wedding dresses these days tend to expose more back, shoulders and arms. Muscle mass is the key to a lean look. You can shift body composition—less fat, more muscle—by training the muscles. We help clients train every set of muscles every time they come in, with slow-cadence, high-intensity workouts on medical-grade equipment typically found in a physical therapy office.

One 20-minute session per week for two or three months before the wedding can help achieve a more fit and lean look. Our program trains major muscle groups while protecting joints and connective tissue from impact. It taxes the muscles, helps burn fat and rebuilds lean muscle mass efficiently.

malinda walker, ASSISTANT FITNESS MANAGER, JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER All brides want to look amazing and slip effortlessly into their wedding dresses.

But our program is more than losing weight and inches in a few weeks. It’s about embracing exercise and good nutrition habits. These are lifestyle changes, and they won’t happen overnight. It takes about six months to a year for habits to take, but it’s never too late to start.

Each bride is different and has different goals, including how much weight she wants to lose and how much toning she needs. We suggest no more than a one- or two-pound weight loss per week.

That’s also the recommendation of the American College of Sports Medicine. More rapid weight loss is usually water weight and lean muscle loss. We also recommend four to five workouts per week, which include strength training and some cardio work. Short bursts of high-intensity activity burn more calories.

Women can begin to see results in as little as six weeks.

complexion perfection // Want great-looking skin for your wedding? Local skin expert SUSIE LYNCH, A MEDICAL AESTHETICIAN WITH MIDAMERICA SKIN HEALTH & VITALITY CENTER, provides pointers and timetables.

Avoid cleansing facials a week before wedding; they may prompt a breakout. Consider a hydrating facial instead. It will plump skin. Schedule this at least one week before the wedding and do so only if you’re accustomed to having facials.

Don’t try new skin products less than one month before your wedding. You may get unexpected and unwanted results. Play it safe. Stick to products you know.

Don’t wax legs less than two weeks before the big day. You might develop folliculitis, an inflammation characterized by small red bumps.

If you have dark facial hair and have at least one year before your wedding, start a series of laser hair removal procedures.

Wax your eyebrows a few weeks before your wedding and ‘clean up’ with tweezers as needed. In untrained hands, waxing can result in skin lifting, peeling and sometimes blistering. You can’t push the healing process.

Drink lots of water weeks in advance of your wedding to hydrate skin. The night before you walk down the aisle, sleep on your back. Side and stomach sleepers may wake up with puffy, wrinkly faces.

LIP TREATMENTS

Dry lips can plague us in warm and cold weather. The drying effects of heat and sun, wind and cold wreak havoc on them, one of the most delicate areas of the face. That’s why a little extra TLC is needed. But even if you’re someone who prefers nude lips most of the time, there are plenty of innocuous lip balms to reach for. Some are completely colorless; others have the barest hint of tone. But all will protect your lips by adding moisture and blocking the elements.

EASY PARTY HAIR

When it comes to party hair, endless doses of products, pins and polishes are not what you want. But balancing an effortless updo with hair that doesn’t look like you’ve spent hours in front of the mirror can be easier said than done. So it’s a relief to know that with the help of a few simple techniques, you can achieve easy party-ready hair in no time!

Hannah Leigh, hair stylist and makeup director at Blown Away Blow Dry Bar, says adding volume to your style of choice is the easiest way to achieve beautiful, yet minimal-effort party hair.

“Give some volume to your ponytail; wrapping hair around the ponytail holder gives it a little bit nicer of a look,” says Leigh. “A big trend this year is the messy, undone ‘done’ look, so giving your hair some wave, putting it in a ponytail and pinning some pieces in a low messy bun is huge. It’s a lot easier for people to do their hair themselves now because the trend is to be very natural.”

If you want to stick with an updo, all you need is a good teasing brush, hair spray and bobby pins, according to Leigh. Start with a volumizing product sprayed directly on your brush, and tease. Once you have your desired ponytail height, control flyaways with the same teasing brush and comb through the messiest sections. Keep your hair intact with a good hair spray, and you’re ready to party. If a bun is what you’re looking for, carefully pin your hair back as if you were doing a half updo and gather the bottom half of your hair in a less structured, messier way.

Creating a structured base gives your ’do style and longevity.

“The easiest way to create an updo, even if it’s messy, is if there’s a lot of structure underneath. You don’t want random pieces everywhere. Start with a ponytail or something structured, then pin pieces around it to look messy. That’s going to make it last a lot longer,” Leigh says.

Fun, loose party hair doesn’t have to be restricted to long locks. For those with shorter hair, Leigh recommends adding some wave and pinning back small sections of hair. You can still achieve an on-trend, messy look, and it requires minimal attention. Short or long, easy party hair is all about effortless style that celebrates your hair’s natural beauty. And according to Leigh, that’s exactly what her customers want.

“Nobody likes that big Shirley Temple tight curl anymore,” she says “It’s more of a loose, relaxed, could-have-done-it-myself-but-didn’t type hair. Nobody wants to look like they’ve just walked out of a salon.”

APRONOMICS CAFFEINE CLASS

by rebecca koenig | photos by bill barrett St. Louis is synonymous with microbrewing, but another craft food movement is quietly conquering the city. Coffee roasting—a St. Louis specialty around the turn of the 20th century, when the city had more than 80 roasters—has made a comeback in small warehouses and independent coffee shops across town. Look out, Starbucks, there’s something new brewing around here.

You’ve finally figured out just how you want your caramel skim latte, but it’s too late: complicated coffee drinks are passé. The new wave of java drinking gets back to the basics: where beans come from and how they’re roasted. Tim Drescher, founder of St. Louis roaster Kuva Coffee, was at the forefront of the movement when he started importing and roasting beans 10 years ago. “My philosophy was very small-batch, micro-roasted coffees in seasonal varieties,” he says. “I started selling at farmers markets before the movement became as big as it is. I thought it was a great way to introduce people to really high-quality coffee.”

For Sump Coffee shop owner Scott Carey, roasting was the natural next step in his artistic quest to brew a better cup. “If you look at what you’re doing as a craft, then when you use somebody else’s coffee and make a good cup of coffee, it’s almost like plagiarism,” says Carey, who started roasting at his Jefferson Avenue shop in 2012. “The lack of authorship, the lack of really, truly creating something and being a caretaker of it, that was the tipping point. That was the reason to do it, to kind of have our voice and philosophy come through all the way to the cup.”

Showcasing the flavors of a particular bean is among the top priorities for these coffee connoisseurs, who favor light roasts of single-origin, or same-source, beans. They seek to highlight the subtle differences in taste between Ethiopian, Colombian and Indonesian products. “When you go too dark you’re obscuring the origin flavor with a roast flavor,” Drescher explains. Carey agrees, comparing coffee to wine. “We’re trying to source coffees from different regions,” he says.

“We’re roasting them light to highlight their terroir.” Both men strive to select the best beans of the season; Carey relies on the advice of a trusted importer, and Drescher has a direct trade partnership, through the Missouri Botanical Garden, with a coffee cooperative in Peru.

Beans should be stored at a stable temperature in light- and airtight containers, Carey advises, and consumed within three weeks of roasting. As for cream and sugar … only if you must. “They’re vestiges of drinking stale products,” Drescher says. “Fresh coffee is an entirely different product. It doesn’t need sweetener because it’s inherently sweet on its own.”

GIVEN ITS SETTING, it makes total sense that the food here is presented as 'art.' By that I mean much is made of the presentation: the way food is arranged on the plate, the way its elements are stacked, lined up and dotted to appeal to the eye as well as the stomach. It’s a laudable goal, and one that was often accomplished.

First we must consider the ambience. The dining space is perched above Art Hill with floor-toceiling windows offering a magnificent panorama acknowledged by the restaurant’s name. The ceilings are high and the walls unadorned—all the better to concentrate on the view, albeit a little strange for a place whose raison d’etre is art.

The menu concentrates on local and seasonal fare and does a good job drawing attention to each ingredient. A starter of Corn Flour-Crusted Chicken Livers ($9) makes you pay attention when it arrives

as three livers, two of them stacked on a cube of watermelon and a colorful turnip ‘flower’; the third one sits next to a tiny mound of sweet sautéed onion.

The livers were tender, with crunchy coating and the potpourri of flavors—sweet melon, salty crust--fulfilled their purpose of heightening the appetite in preparation for the main plates.

Another appetizer, Local Red Pontiac Potato Soup ($7 or $9) was less exciting.

The standout dish—Local Lamb, Black Fig and Green Olive Stew—was perfection on a plate. At first, it sounded a little suspect: I wasn’t sure how the olives and figs would work together, or about the side dish of lavender, brown rice and piquillo pepper. But that bowlful of ground lamb was in a densely flavorful broth with diced carrot, tomato and slivered lemon zest. And the side dish gave me a new respect for brown rice. The

nutty artisan rice was dotted with crisp root vegetables and spiced with a small pool of pepper coulis. One minor complaint: when a menu offers lamb stew and it’s ground meat, it should say so.

Another entrée, Roasted Local Heritage Pork ($19), was pretty to look at, but fell short of excellent.

The meat—attractively browned and served as two halves leaning up against one another—was a little overcooked. The sweet, sticky sauce of bacon-agave gastrique did a little to help that, and the tiny, roasted red beets scattered around the plate were a nice touch.

Raised Local Missouri Trout ($22) was artistic and tasty, but I thought $22 should buy more than half a fish.

From the desert menu, the pot de crème ($7) was flavorful—minty chocolate—and came with delightful garnishes: a glacéed mint leaf and a white chocolate tuile dotted with crunchy crushed chocolate nibs.

We create designs that are ‘uniquely yours.’

SAVVY SURROUNDING] STYLE COVER STORY

by tony di martino

HAVE YOU EVER ENTERED A HOME and felt like you were in the middle of a high-end furniture store? Everything looks expensive, but the place is oddly impersonal, as if somebody walked into a builder’s model and bought up the displays.

You won’t find a ‘decorate by the numbers’ attitude at Savvy Surrounding Style, a full-service interior design firm and home décor boutique in Ladue Marketplace. “We believe in making each home uniquely yours,” says owner Diane Fogerty, who opened the business in 2010. “There’s nothing worse than being able to guess who someone’s decorator was. Our design team reflects your look, not ours.”

And what a team it is. Creative director/lead designer CJ Knapp and designers Kimberly Kowalski and TJ Rinn incorporate decades of residential and commercial design experience. “For more than 25 years, CJ Knapp has partnered with her clients to help them create their dream home,” Fogerty says. “TJ Rinn, whose background includes both design and architecture, sees interior design as the collaborative process of turning a house into a home. And Kimberly Kowalski, who has worked on everything from large-scale commercial projects to intimate residential nooks, believes every home tells a story.”

Knapp, Kowalski and Rinn are client-focused. “They check their egos at the door,” Fogerty says. “They’re totally receptive to, and inspired by, suggestions. They find out how you live and what you love, then create comfortable, one-of-a-kind spaces that meet your family’s needs, achieving the perfect balance between style and

functionality.” They respect the client’s wallet, too: “Some designers don’t know the meaning of the word ‘budget’—you tell them you have $5,000 for the entire project, and they show you a $12,000 rug,” she says. “That doesn’t happen here.”

Fogerty entered the design trade from the consumer end. “Working with designers on four homes, I formed definite ideas about how to improve the overall experience,” she says. “Now I get to implement them at Savvy Surrounding Style.” Helping carry out her vision are office and accounting manager Becky Gale, project manager Laurie Morris, design assistant Emily Johnson and sales associate Janice Bruns-Mantovani.

“We bounce ideas off each other and help each other out,” Fogerty says. “Some of our most inspired ideas and design solutions have taken place at lunch over a spinach salad.”

In addition to design services, Savvy’s studio offers an ever-changing array of furniture, accessories, artwork, bedding and gifts. There’s always a designer on the floor, ready to help even the client who wants only a few throw pillows. “We carry traditional and contemporary lines, and we’re always on the lookout for items unique to the local market,” Fogerty says.

Fogerty’s business philosophy is simple: “Surround yourself with good people, and good things will happen,” she says. “That’s exactly what’s happened here. Nothing pleases us more than knowing our clients are happily living their lives in a place we designed especially for them.”

T&S HOME

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

I am interested in any ideas that might update the landscape of our home in Ladue. It is a cottage-style house in a neighborhood of nicely landscaped colonials. We moved here from California and I haven’t a clue what works in the Midwest. I would like something that is a bit reminiscent of California. I do love the lovely willows and hydrangeas of this part of the country, too. Can the styles be mixed? Please help.

———CALIFORNIA DREAMING

DEAR CALIFORNIA DREAMING,

California has a variety of climate types and landscaping schools of thought, but the concepts of appropriateness and thorough attention to detail run through most of them.

Since the New England feel of your home doesn’t really lend itself to palm trees and cacti anyway, it’s best to just work with the home here, and try to bring out its essence.

The architecture of your house has both an attractive composition and well-chosen materials. It becomes somewhat hidden by the magnificent Norfolk Pines on the left, and somewhat ‘let down’ by the wide asphalt driveway in front.

First, I would add a white, scalloped picket fence to lengthen the façade and make up for some of what is hidden by the pines. Often, I suggest trimming up in situations like this, but these trees look best when their branches almost touch the ground and in this case they give the property a ‘cottage in the woods’ feel that I find charming. The fence provides the perfect backdrop for a composition of yew, hydrangeas and birch trees that complement the architecture.

Next, I would change the shape and material of the driveway. I would rather it had the feel of a country lane than the sea of asphalt that greets the visitor now. Bordering the drive with ornamental grasses further softens the driveway’s impact and gives an elegant finishing detail to the scene.

ST. LOUIS GOES GREEN by stephanie zeilenga

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ACTIVE HOUSE USA

It’s no secret that green equals good for the environment.

But green buildings come with other benefits to homeowners and their neighborhoods, as well.

WEBSTER GROVES’ ACTIVE HOUSE

The home also includes a solar hot water heater and windows positioned to provide natural light and take advantage of the sun’s warmth in the winter. “An open stairwell with skylights provides daylight through the middle of the home,” Belcher says. “And the windows ventilate, providing a natural draft, so the homeowners get comfort through natural effects and not through energy use.”

The Active House prototype was completed earlier this year. To test its success, the University of Missouri’s Center for Sustainable Energy is tracking its energy use for a year. “We have different circuits broken out, like the lighting and some of the air flow, so we can measure the home’s performance,” Belcher says.

meet the designer

There is a home on Gray Avenue in Webster Groves that looks historic and charming, just like its neighbors. But what’s different about this one is that it is an Active House prototype, built this year as a sustainable model designed to minimize energy use and maximize occupant comfort.

The Webster Groves prototype is the first built in the U.S. by the Denmark-based Active House Alliance. To decrease the need for heating and cooling, the outer shell was constructed to the highest standards, says Matt Belcher, who managed the project.

“Because we did a good job with the building’s shell, we were able to install a small, high-performing HVAC system, which doesn’t take a lot of energy to operate,” he explains.

PROJECT #474 featured kitchen designed by jenny rausch “Welcome to my kitchen. It looks fantastic now, but the real truth is most of the time its inhabitants (3 kids under 4) have it pretty wrecked.

But that is really what gives a space its true beauty.” jenny@karrbick.com Visit our award-winning portfolio on:

What is LEED?

BOTANICAL GROVE

URBAN CHESTNUT

Botanical Grove is a block of green homes developed

by Live Green St. Louis, the home-building side of Urban Improvement Companies (UIC), a property development, urban design, architecture and general contracting firm.

Located on the western half of the Botanical Heights neighborhood between highway 44 and Folsom Avenue, Botanical Grove has 14 new and 14 renovated homes.

According to Chris Hulse, principal of development services and real estate at UIC, a second phase of development is currently underway.

The homes are LEED registered, come with geothermal heating and cooling (a type of renewable energy), and include landscaping designed to conserve water, Hulse says. Many also are designed to operate at half the cost of a conventional home, he adds.

Besides a focus on energy efficiency, Botanical Grove was planned to be a true city neighborhood, with walkable access to schools and restaurants, Hulse says. To this end, Live Green St. Louis is landlord for several neighborhood businesses, including the new City Garden Montessori Charter School, Elaia, an upscale restaurant, and Olio, a wine bar run out of a renovated 1937 Standard Oil Filling Station at the corner of McRee and Tower Grove avenues.

“It’s not just about energy efficiency,” Hulse says. “It’s a combination of reducing the carbon footprint and bringing vibrancy to a city or neighborhood.”

In addition to building energy-efficient homes, green developers in St. Louis also give new life to empty lots and old, unused buildings. This is called adaptive reuse of infill locations, and it’s the focus of Green Street St. Louis, a real estate firm committed to sustainably developing St. Louis commercial properties.

To revive empty lots and old buildings, Green Street follows LEED standards, says Peder Hulse, vice president of brokerage (and brother of Chris Hulse). “We think it’s the right method to redevelop properties. Infill, adapt and reuse properties are often centrally located and in proximity to inner-state connections and public transit, so they’re connected to the productivity of their neighborhood,” he explains.

The company is currently working with craft brewery Urban Chestnut, which is expanding to a larger, second location in The Grove. Predicted to open in 2014, the $10 million project will transform the old Renard Paper Company building at 4465 Manchester Ave. into a 60,000-square-foot brewing and packaging facility, initially increasing Urban Chestnut’s annual brewing capacity from 7,000 to 15,000 barrels, says Brian Pratt, Green Street’s vice president of development. The space will also include a warehouse and tasting room and is designed to maximize the brewery’s operating efficiencies.

“We’ve been tracking Urban Chestnut’s LEED certification,” Pratt says. “It’s a great example of adaptive reuse of the distribution center and is transforming the property into something that complements the neighborhood’s growth. And Urban Chestnut is a perfect partner for us, because it has an environmental, conscientious focus.”

Many developers use the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification system to ensure a building is green. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED rates various aspects of building construction, design, use and maintenance. The higher the rating, the more sustainable the building. “LEED is conscientious of your environment and what you can reuse,” says Peder Hulse, vice president of brokerage for Green Street St. Louis, a local green development company.

“It’s the most thorough, well-recognized standard in the industry.”

TOWN & NEIGHBORHOOD UNIVERSITY CITY | THE KEADYS by stephanie zeilenga | photos by bill barrett

AS A YOUNG, MARRIED COUPLE, Michelle and Vince Keady thought about living in Clayton, where they both worked, but couldn’t afford it. Instead, they moved to nearby University City. Although 22 years have passed, their family of five still calls this vibrant corner of St. Louis home.

Q. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT U. CITY? A. We like the diversity of the area. and living here gives you a good mix of people to be friends

with. My kids go to Immacolata Catholic School, but we have a ton of friends who go to Our Lady of Lourdes and Christ the King. Also, from our current home, where we’ve lived for the past 12 years, we are able to walk to the restaurants in Clayton. I love that.

Q. HOW DO YOUR KIDS FEEL ABOUT THE AREA? A. They like it. We love Jilly’s Cupcakes. They also love all the lion sculptures—our neighbors

Q. DOES YOUR FAMILY SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE LOOP? A. Not too much, but it is great having The Pageant so close. We’ve been a few times for shows,

and my son just went there a few months ago to see his first concert, Imagine Dragons. My nephew, Anthony Signorelli, house-sits for us when we go out of town, and he loves U. City. He’s in a band, the Justin Torres Loop Project, which has played at Three Kings Pub in the Loop. We saw him play there, and it was a lot of fun.

Q. AFTER ALL THIS TIME, WHY HAVE YOU STAYED? A. For a moment, I considered relocation. I wanted a larger backyard so my kids could run

and play soccer. But our home here is a thick, hardy brick house with plaster walls and a great fireplace, and it’s hard to find that. We also have a level of comfort with the area—we’re established and have our friends here. Our kids can walk to a lot of their friends’ homes, and we love that.

have miniature lions on their walkways. Flynn Park has a great playground now and my son, who is 15, loves to go down to the Loop on his bike.

[ family faves ] BEST PARK>> Flynn Park has new tennis courts, and my kids love to go there. We also frequently use Forest Park.

BEST PLACE FOR BRUNCH>> Winslow’s Home has the cutest courtyard and they grow their own tomatoes, which they keep in old-time wooden barrels for customers to pick out. My 13-year-old twin girls just had a sleepover and the girls walked over to Winslow’s in the morning for pancakes.

their city home on Lindell Boulevard to 1 Fordyce Lane in Ladue.

The 2.75-acre property and charming 1930s-era home provided the idyllic setting they wanted for their children, then 3 and 5.

“We wanted them to have freedom to roam the neighborhood,” Andrea LaBarge says. “Here our kids could explore and ride bikes and do things they weren’t able to do before. And more than half of the lot is wooded, so you get the sense of being removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life.”

In addition to the property’s generous size, the family also was attracted to its potential for renovation. The most dramatic project, completed in 2002, included a large addition housing a family room, kitchen, guest suite and gallery. “We wanted it to be in keeping with the architecture, so that anything we did would feel like a seamless addition to the rest of the home,” LaBarge says.

The family room, which features beamed, vaulted ceilings and custom bookcases, is where the family often spent time together. “This was the primary part of the addition,” Craig LaBarge says. “It’s a big room and we used it for everything;

The kitchen—with custom cabinetry in warm woods, a butler’s pantry and a wet bar—was another favorite gathering space. “It’s a wonderful kitchen for someone who loves to cook, but even if you don’t, it’s a great place to hang out,” Andrea LaBarge says.

The family also loved to welcome family and friends into their home. The large 34-by-11-foot gallery, an entryway connecting the family room, kitchen and outdoor patios, was the perfect site for entertaining. At the family’s annual black-tie New Year’s Eve party, the space often turned into a late-night dance hall. “We used the back gallery hallway for everything from dancing to eating to birthday parties,” LaBarge says.

Although the home on Fordyce Lane holds many dear memories, the LaBarges are now retired (Craig used to run LaBarge Incorporated, a custom electronics business) and are moving to a home they’ve built in Clayton. “The kids were very young when we moved in; we’ve been in the house for 20 years,” Andrea LaBarge says. “They’ve moved out now, but it’s where they grew up and had a lot of wonderful times.”
