[ letter from the editor ] This issue has a special section on the Glennon Card, a fundraising initiative that I cannot praise enough. Basically it’s a shopping card you can buy that entitles the bearer to a 20 percent discount at nearly 300 stores in town. All of the $50 charge for the card goes to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, which is the fundraiser part. And like most good things, there’s a catch: the card can be used only during the 10-day period between Oct. 26 and Nov. 4.

But that’s prime holiday-shopping season. I ought to know, since I used my Glennon Card last year to buy gifts for just about everyone I know, and then some. (It’s pretty hard for me to pass up Kakao heavenly hash and Chocolate Soup dresses under normal conditions; add the temptation of a discount, and it’s hopeless!) Sure, the savings are appealing, but even better is how the card gets you motivated and out into the stores early, ahead of the crowds.

But really the best part is giving back to one of our town’s most important organizations. That, and the beauty of watching a community in action. It’s amazing to see 270-something local businesses pull together to support a hospital for children. Also amazing is the caliber of the businesses—from homegrown places like Companion Baking, Laurie’s Shoes and Mister Guy to local affiliates of popular nameplates like Hanna Andersson, Cole Haan and Eileen Fisher. Which only proves something I have long known: It takes a village, and we have a darn good one.

talk [towns] by bill beggs jr.

We surmise the day after Thanksgiving was dubbed Black Friday by some unknown retail worker who felt less than charitable about having to show up and deal with the certifiably insane mob of shoppers darkening mall doors at 4 a.m. or big-box stores at midnight. Used to be that, in Chesterfield, merchants could receive a black mark—actually face a fine—for opening their doors to customers before official business hours. But if authorities reluctantly cited or failed to notice retailers who opened too early, they now can attend to other tasks, officially. Ever mindful of the almighty sales-tax dollar, the city has voted to allow retailers to open earlier on Black Friday—by permit, that is. Excuse us while we scratch our heads. Aren’t retailers the tail wagging the dog in this fair ’burb? Let’s see what happens when one or two outlet malls open in the valley.

She’s come a long way, baby: Carrie Fisher, she of the cinnamon-bun-shaped whorls of hair she sported as Princess Leia in Star Wars, that is. The look was sooo 1976. (But how iconic; you can even get a costume at Target for your dog featuring a wig fashioned after her goofy hairstyle.) Fisher has gone on to become an acclaimed author; she put it all out there in Postcards from the Edge.

Fisher keynotes the St. Louis Jewish Book Festival at 7 p.m. Nov. 4. The 11-day festival at the Jewish Community Center in Creve Coeur wraps up Nov. 15. Dr. Ruth (Westheimer) is on the schedule, as are rocking ballad singer Michael Bolton and veteran folkie Peter Yarrow (the ‘Peter’ in Peter, Paul & Mary). Goosebumps creator R.L. Stine will also be there.

Designed with citizen input, the new city park on the north side of Kirkwood

of the

at Avery Drive and Harrison Avenue is due for its grand opening Oct. 14. Three-quarters of an acre and bordered by a creek, Avery Park was derived from several vacant lots the city purchased last year. The pavilion is complete; finishing touches such as curbs and fences were being attended to, as well as painting the basketball court, which benefited from $290,000 via the county’s municipal park grant commission. Last spring, workers yanked out honeysuckle and other invasive plants that had all but overgrown the site, as well as removed trees that would have hindered enjoyment of the already-compact park as a green space dotted with playgrounds for various ages.

One day, T&S cognoscenti may establish annual ‘Best Of’ lists, as have our compatriots at St. Louis Magazine and Riverfront Times.

Until then, we’ll name-drop them: Maplewood got two nods recently from the venerable alternative weekly, for ‘Best Pet Shop’ and ‘Best Antiques Store.’ And, for the second year in a row, Home Wine Kitchen topped the other magazine’s list. High praise indeed, since there’s plenty of competition all over the Lou in each category, and lots outside our readership. Airedale Antics is top dog for natural foods and treats for canines and felines, and Roots Antiques has been invited to join the Collective, a boutique-y bazaar to premiere downtown later this fall at MX. (See our St. Louis item.)

Recession be danged, hotel projects near the Galleria continue to move forward, most recently with the nod of approval from Richmond Heights officials for a complex at Brentwood Boulevard and Clayton Road. A development at this corner that has long languished would

include a yet-to-be-named hotel with a parking garage, restaurant and banquet space. Representatives of Mullenix Richmond Heights Development Corp. say several local banks have expressed interest in backing the project. Meanwhile, a Drury Hotel is slated to break ground next spring near the fountain and green space just south of the Hwy. 40/I-64 interchange.

Soon, townies and tourists alike can take the MX plunge. Blending 19thcentury architecture with up-to-the-minute urban design, the MX, an eclectic entertainment and shopping district centered at 7th St. and Washington Ave., will feature new locations for former destination-only restaurants, such as Pi and Robust.

The area surrounding the Mercantile Exchange and Laurel buildings should also delight cinephiles with ‘City’-stickered rear windows: St. Louis Cinemas will open three screens late in the year with a luxury complex at 6th St. and Washington Ave. (Meanwhile, trumpets the MX website, the Laurel is 70 percent leased.) What’s more, supporters of the National Blues Museum here are confident that one day we’ll claim boasting rights alongside Cleveland and Nashville, what with their halls-of-fame and museums devoted, respectively, to rock and country music.

Myseum has just opened in Town & Country, joining the ranks of the City Museum, Magic House and St. Louis Science Center as attractions specifically targeting kids. Until now, Magic House in Kirkwood was the farthest west of such scientific fun spots; the other two are in the city. There’s a UFO at the Myseum—well, not a real one—for youngsters to explore. There’s a spot dubbed Dino Dig for kids to make like paleontologists and uncover old bones.

[ TT Trivia ] From whence did the term ‘MX’ derive?

(OK, they’re not real, either.) Myseum can be discovered at 283 Lamp and Lantern Village. For days of operation, admission prices and other details, visit stlmyseum.com.

All of a sudden, the Loop Trolley seems to have hit an uphill stretch.

The Missouri History Museum has withdrawn a $1 million pledge to fund the line after museum president Bob Archibald announced that the commitment had not been cleared by the board of commissioners. Trolley supporters hope eventually will travel about two miles from the U. City Library, the westernmost point in the Delmar Loop, to head back to the museum to the east. Archibald and the museum board chair jointly announced that, once the pledge is considered separately by the board, they remain hopeful it will be reinstated. Last month, the project received a $25 million federal grant. Plans are for work on the system to begin later this year, and for the trolley line to open in 2014.

When this correspondent was a little kid, the doctor made house calls, which made measles less miserable. Alas, house calls went the way of gas station attendants that checked your oil and tire pressure.…

However, several area animal hospitals today will come out and treat Fido or Fluffy at your home, or pick up the pet for treatment and return it—I mean, him or her. (Looking over at my dog, The Dude, twitching as he dreams, it’s hard to believe that pets are now people.) At any rate, we know at least one, Webster Groves Animal Hospital, that will bring veterinary services to you if you live within a 10-mile radius of the office.

The first correct email answer we receive at towntalk@townandstyle.com will win an exclusive Town & Style tote bag or apron!

Last issue’s answer | Pi, the pizzeria famed in these parts for making President Obama a fan, at the end of July suspended its food truck operations in the Lou and in Washington, D.C., although the vehicle may get rolling for select special events to deliver its unique toppings and dough as ‘kneaded.’

Most card tricks are illusions based on distraction and sleight of hand: now you see it, now you don’t. But St. Louis has one that is truly magical, delighting consumers and merchants all over town while helping sick kids get well. Last year, this very special card raised more than $65,000 for SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center.

We’re talking about the Glennon Card, a discount program introduced last year by Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and the Cardinal Glennon Guild. What’s so magical about it? The card, which costs $50, entitles holders to a 20 percent discount on regularly priced merchandise at participating stores, restaurants and salons from Oct. 26 through Nov. 4—just in time to give St. Louisans a jumpstart on holiday shopping. “It takes the guilt out of splurging, because all proceeds from sales of the card go to the 300,000 children served each year by Cardinal Glennon,” says Brigette McMillin, treasurer of the Glennon Guild, a 300-member women’s organization that provides volunteer and financial support for the hospital.

More than 1,300 Glennon Cards were sold during the program’s 2011 inaugural year, which featured 225-plus merchants in the metropolitan area. “The Container Store alone sold 90 cards, more than any other retailer,” says Glennon Guild president Cindy Brooks, who cochairs the card committee with McMillin. “This year about 50 more restaurants and shops are on board, including national retailers like Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn.” Recruiting new merchants was easy, Brooks adds: “Once they saw how successful last year’s program was, they actually started calling us so they could join!”

The Glennon Card drives spending patrons into businesses before the lucrative holiday season, McMillin notes. “It breaks the online shopping habit and gets shoppers, including many first-time customers, into local businesses,” she says. Last year, Glennon Card Days occurred at the height of World Series fever. “The feedback we got from merchants showed that lots of their customers were out and about using the card when they’d ordinarily be at home watching the game on TV.” The card is available online at glennoncard.org, from Guild members, and, beginning Oct. 15, at many participating retailers. “Thanks to our generous corporate sponsors, every dollar of each Glennon Card sold goes directly to help children who need medical care,” Brooks says.

The discount program is presented by Fifth Third Bank; co-sponsors include Town & Style, Bud Light Lime-a-Rita, Show Me St. Louis, Fresh 102.5, and Ylang-Ylang Fine Designer Jewelry.

“Together, the Foundation and Guild help maintain Cardinal Glennon’s mission to care for the children who come to us each year, regardless of their family’s ability to pay,” McMillin says. “Buying a Glennon Card lets the entire community share that mission, support the local economy, and, as an added bonus, indulge in fashion and fun at a discount! That makes the Glennon Card the best card trick of all, especially for thousands of kids and families who are helped and healed at Cardinal Glennon.” october 10, 2012 townandstyle.com

Originated by Napoleon, the French honor recognizes individuals’ contributions to French culture or education.

business [IN]sight Apple of Your Eye ] by catherine klene Kerry Thorton has an easier time remembering her customers’ names than most shop owners. After all, she’s been embroidering, painting or otherwise customizing gifts with those names for more than three decades. “We never charge for personalization with painting,” says Thorton, owner of Apple of Your Eye Gifts. “Giving customers that free perk on the spot keeps people coming back.”

She and her sister-in-law, Patty Sickel, decided to go into business together after their shopping excursions left them wishing for something more. “We were both interested in the ins and outs and hows of decorating, making our apartments and homes look cute. We always said we couldn’t find a store that was uniquely us,” she says. “Patty and I had very similar tastes. We thought it would be a great mesh for a store. We were getting tired of teaching, and thought while we’re young enough, let’s try it.”

Though they lacked formal business training, Thorton says the two teachers were confident they could handle the pressures of running a new business. She had worked for years as a sales associate, and her husband at the time was an executive at FamousBarr. This experience, and Sickel’s artistic eye (combined with trial and error) helped the duo open their doors in Webster Groves in 1980. They even gave a nod to their former jobs with their new venture; Thorton says both educators wanted the word ‘apple’ in the store’s name.

They began by focusing on small, fun, home decor items, and their inventory slowly expanded over the years to include products for children, ceramics and gifts for men. Their big break came when they realized St. Louisans were crazy for personalization and monograms.

“We decided to have a little bit of all those items and experiment in personalizing,” she says. “We started putting names on things for kids and found it was a huge hit.” Today, some of Apple of Your Eye’s most popular products include brightly colored children’s backpacks and lunchboxes embroidered with names.

The sisters-in-law opened another location in Town & Country in 1995, which Thorton then moved to Creve Coeur 15 years later.

Despite the prevalence of big-box and department stores, Thorton’s business continues to thrive. She says her customers enjoy the personal touches they can add to a gift for a new baby, wedding or even the first day of kindergarten. “Our core base of customers has followed us,” she says. “We pride ourselves on customer service.”

She keeps a close eye on trends, hunting for unique items that fit the St. Louis market. She believes much of her success comes from planning long term, rather than offering a sale for every minor holiday. “What I do at that point is find out what are my best items, the ones that seem to sell no matter what adverse effects there are.

I find my store’s strengths and focus on that the most,” she says. “I feel department stores have created their own worst enemy because there is constantly a sale going on. No one wants to buy full price.”

Sickel retired from the business five years ago, and Thorton says at the moment, Apple of Your Eye’s two shops keep her busy. “Right now, I’m just interested in growing these two locations—but you never know with me!”

TOWN TALK

[Backtalk a new kind of advice column by raschelle burton & patty hannum I am an older mother and have been mistaken for my children’s grandmother more than a few times. I never know quite how to respond. Any suggestions?

—Nobody’s Grandmother

Patty: How should you respond? Try screaming, ‘Are you blind?’ Or perhaps a more subtle approach is just to poke them in the eye with a stick so they never make that mistake again. This is nearly as insulting as being asked, ‘When is your baby due?’ and all that’s in your belly is a big meal. Both have happened to me.

It is only later that I can come up with a response like, ‘That mole on your face should really be examined by a doctor, it looks like it is growing.’ Or, ‘That comment hurt as much as the bad Botox in your forehead.’ No one should make assumptions regarding parent/child relationships or pregnancy.

Raschelle: Hey, I, too, am an older mom, and by the way Patty, I have a mole on my face. It’s called it a beauty mark and Cindy Crawford, another older mom, has one too—so there! If you’re being mistaken for your kids’ grandmother I think you should take a good look at why. I’ve never been mistaken for my kids’ grandmother, probably because I invest zillions of dollars in hair dye and cosmetics. When people ask you if you’re the grandmother, I think no reaction is the best reaction. This comment is more a result of ignorance and not a statement about you or your life choices. To me it says, ‘I’ve never left my hometown, and I don’t travel much. I live in a bubble or maybe even under a rock.’ So chillax (my kids will groan when they see that word), and laugh it off. Or just sigh and say to yourself, ‘I wish closed minds came with closed mouths.’

Now that school is starting, so is the competition season. You know, when parents at school functions compare their children and say things like, ‘I told Lisa a 4.0 and National Merit Scholar status are not enough.

She really needs to hike Mt. Everest to stand out.’ What is the best way to handle these parents?

—Stop the Madness

Patty: Stop going to any and all school functions. (Just kidding!) I will always remember sitting at a college information session with my son, and hearing another parent ask if her daughter could major in neuroscience and ballet, since both were her ‘passions.’ The poor kid clearly wanted to stab her mother; instead she just glared at her, as did all the other parents and kids. You can’t win in this competition. It’s just better to sit quietly and absorb what everyone is saying, preferably next to a friend who understands your eye rolls and snorts. As I have told both my children, far more Fortune 500 CEOs went to their state university than to any of the Ivies (I might have made that up). Of successful people I know, I have no idea where they went to high school, what sports they played or how many AP classes they took. Don’t let yourself get dragged into the competition. It only makes the conversation longer and your blood pressure higher. Also, if our kids knew what we talked about on the sidelines, we would all be banned from attending any school events.

Raschelle: The best way to deal with these people is to join in. Go ahead and ‘top’ them. Every time they brag about their child, you should do it back, only more outrageously. They say, ‘My little Mikey was so totally bored by the AP offerings at our old school, we are simply so pleased he’s been accepted here, where he can finally find his intellectual peer group.’ You could say, ‘My little Carrie has worked so hard and finally graduated.

We are so proud of her. But you know there’s only so much she can do; we’re lucky they still prioritize legacy students here. Between you and me, I am really hoping she finds an ambitious young man to glom onto so her father and I can travel more.’ I promise you will win every time. No more annoying conversations. >> Patty Hannum’s children are constantly embarrassed by her ability to cackle and snort while laughing. >> Raschelle Burton is still recovering from the time in ninth grade when the cutest boy at the pool asked if she was going to eat the raisin on her face. This explains her sensitivity to mole comments.

reaching Out [ Discovering Options by catherine klene One of the last things you’d expect an 11-year-old to achieve is a state of Zen. But Savion Amerson says whenever he practices yoga, the resulting relaxation makes his whole day better. “The best way I can put it is yoga can enlighten you,” he says. “If you have anger issues, you should try yoga because it will relax you, and then when you are angry, you can do yoga instead.”

It’s just one of the things Amerson has tried—and come to love—through Discovering Options, a local nonprofit that mentors at-risk children to avoid self-destructive behaviors like drug use. Each quarter, dozens of fourth and fifth graders in the St. Louis City school district are nominated for Discovering Options’ PREP program. Amerson was selected two years ago and could hardly wait to get started. “I was really excited that I was selected to participate in PREP,” he says. “I thought it would be fun. School is not really the highlight of my day, so when I went to PREP, it was fun and relaxed me.”

Children participate in group after-school activities designed to foster self-esteem and try new things, like science experiments and arts projects. Professional chefs and yoga instructors volunteer to teach classes like cultural cooking, experiences Amerson never thought he’d try before. “I remember when we made this delicious Chinese salad. It was really good,” he says.

After 10 weeks of group activities, each child receives a mentor. Amerson was partnered with Discovering Options founder and executive director Charmaine Smith; they often get together and try new things, go to new places or just hang out. Amerson says one of his favorite trips was when Smith took him to the state capitol.

“It’s fun to learn what happened back then,” he says. “I went to the Governor’s Mansion. I expected it to have gold everywhere, but it was a normal mansion, excepti with pictures of past Savion amerson, charmaine smith Missouri governors. We also photo by bill barrett learned about Thomas Jefferson, our third president.”

Discovering Options encourages children to pursue their interests and set goals. Amerson, a sixth grader at Gateway Middle School, is a science whiz who loves technology and computers.

He recently participated in Lego Wars, where he constructed a futuristic model of the city. “We had to make what we thought St. Louis would be like in 50 years,” he says. “I made a market with transportation that can teleport you anywhere in the store. I also like to go online and search for anything science-related, like what the brain is made of.”

One day, Amerson hopes to be a computer animator or video game designer, and he’s already on his way. “I’m still learning how to animate; I’ve come far in it,” he says. “I have created this one series that I’ve made two episodes of called Crazy Randomness.” Amerson says both his mentor and mother have confidence in his abilities, but more important, he says, he has confidence in himself. “Ms. Charmaine supports me, but I believe I can do this.”

Dan Buck, executive director of Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, at the soon-to-be-expanded Knights of Columbus Developmental Center

[ keeping kids healthy ] by tony di martino

No man is an island, and no one knows that better than Dan Buck. “It takes the entire community to keep kids healthy,” he says. As head of Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, the funding arm for SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, he and the Foundation’s board of governors are charged with providing support for growth, improvements, programs and financial aid. “But we can’t do it without building strong partnerships with individuals, businesses and organizations throughout the region.”

That’s exactly what Buck has focused on since becoming executive director of the Foundation in 2010. Three projects initiated on his watch are especially close to his heart: Homers for Health, a collaboration with Centene Charitable Foundation, Peabody Energy and Dierbergs; Rally Squirrel for Cardinal Glennon, a partnership with Anheuser-Busch; and the Glennon Card, a discount program launched in partnership with the Cardinal Glennon Guild, underwritten by Fifth Third Bank as presenting sponsor.

Proceeds from the Homers for Health campaign, in which fans pledged to donate money every time a Cardinals player hit a home run last season, haven’t been designated yet. But $500,000 from the sale of Rally Squirrel sports apparel helped build the Rally Squirrel Playground, which opened in April above Cardinal Glennon’s Bob Costas Cancer Center. “It’s a safe, fun place designed for all the kids at the hospital, including those with special needs,” Buck says.

The $50 Glennon Card entitles holders to a 20 percent discount at more than 275 participating stores, restaurants and spas. Last year’s campaign raised more than $65,000 for the transport team and the Knights of Columbus Developmental Center at Cardinal Glennon.

“The Developmental Center, the largest autism center in eastern Missouri, does remarkable work with kids who have autism and other developmental disorders,” Buck says.

But the center has a long waiting list. “Thanks to Glennon Card sales, we’re doubling the space so we can help more kids and building a more conveniently located parking structure to make things easier for their families,” Buck says. “We couldn’t have done it without the 1,300 St. Louisans who bought and used the cards and the 225-plus retailers who agreed to participate.”

These partnerships raise awareness and provide funding that keeps the hospital at the forefront of medicine and patient care, Buck explains. “We’re known nationwide for our lifesaving cord blood bank, the second-largest in the world; our Pediatric Research Institute; and our cancer, cardiac, fetal care and neonatal intensive care units,” he says. “And, true to our mission, we never turn away sick children, even if their families can’t afford health care.

Thousands of young lives have been healed because people in our community care. Great support allows us to do great things—and there’s nothing greater than helping sick kids.”

the container store The Container Store thinks outside the box when it comes to community service. Having sold more Glennon Cards than any other retailer in 2011, The Container Store is selling them again this year, in addition to donating a closet makeover for Cardinal Glennon patient Maggie Bohannan.

Last year, general manager Brian Edison and his employees decided they were going to sell more Glennon Cards than anyone else in town, and they did, clocking in at 90-plus. Their strategy was simple. “We were going to sell it to every customer,” Edison says. “If there’s an opportunity to save our customers money, we’re going to mention it.” After purchasing a card for $50 (all of which goes to Cardinal Glennon), the bearer receives a 20 percent discount at hundreds of local stores, salons and restaurants between Oct. 26 and Nov. 4. People were eager to participate, Edison reports.

“Helping out a good cause and getting a good deal—it’s a wash.”

The hospital guild reached out to photo by bill barrett Edison this year with another way to help. A 12-year-old cancer patient, Maggie Bohannan, had expressed interest in improving her closest and adding space to do her homework. “We felt it was a perfect opportunity for us to lend a hand,” Edison says. His team completed the overhaul in one day, and Bohannan is reportedly thrilled with the result. “She has a fantastic closet,” he reports. “I think most women in St. Louis would be jealous!”

Edison says that serving the local community is important to The Container Store. “We know what a great organization Cardinal Glennon is,” he says. “It’s an important part of St. Louis, and to our customers, that means a lot.” Providing a closet makeover for Maggie also felt like the right thing to do. “You’re not supposed to be sick when you’re 10, 11 years old,” Edison says, “she deserves this space.”

Fifth Third Bank Underwriting the Glennon Card made perfect sense to Tom Welch, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bank. “This is really a win-win for everybody involved,” he says of the hospital’s fundraising project. “Retailers benefit from increased traffic; buyers enjoy big discounts. Most important, Cardinal Glennon benefits from the sales proceeds, which support the miracles they perform.”

Donating $25,000 to cover the expenses of the 2012 Glennon Card is just the most recent way Fifth Third Bank has supported the hospital since the two organizations formed a yearlong partnership in January. The bank was a key sponsor of the children’s winter carnival in January, the Bob Costas Benefit in April, Scoops of Fun at the Magic House in July and the Dierdorf/ Pronger Golf Classic in October. Welch says the bank, which also supports other St. Louis nonprofits, is already working on a partnership with Cardinal Glennon for 2013.

“We want to be the bank people most value and trust,” Welch says. “As we continue to build trust in the community, we can’t think of a better way to do that than to partner with an institution the community already has trust in. Ultimately it’s not about us, it’s about supporting the work Cardinal Glennon does.”

Glennon Cards are available online through Oct. 21 at Glennoncard.org or in select participating merchants beginning Oct. 15.

Maggie and Karyn Bohannan PHOTO BY BILL BARRETT

by catherine klene

[ big league support ]

Last December, Maggie Bohannan, then 11, had just come off the Cardinals World Series victory high and was preparing for her own softball season. Suddenly, stomach pain sent her to the SSM Cardinal Glennon Emergency room, where parents Bob and Karyn heard the news every parent fears: Maggie had lymphoblastic T-cell leukemia.

“It was definitely shocking. You’re not prepared for something like that,” Karyn says. “She has some tummy aches, and you think maybe indigestion. You don’t think she’s 11 and has leukemia.” At first, the news overwhelmed the St. Paul, Mo., family. “I let myself digest for a week. Then I said, no more tears, no more shocking stuff. Let’s get down to business, fix her and be positive.”

Maggie quickly began an aggressive treatment plan set up by her Glennon specialists, who told Bob and Karyn their goal was remission 30 days after diagnosis. Maggie did better than expected: her bone marrow was clear of cancer after 15 days. Today, she is almost halfway through a two-year course of chemotherapy and radiation, and there’s a pretty powerful support group behind her.

A few days into her treatment, Maggie had an unexpected visitor: Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday. “I was playing with my phone when my dad told me to put it away,” she says.

“I was wondering why because I just sitting in the hospital, and then Matt walked in. I couldn’t believe what happened. I was so starstruck that first day I didn’t really say anything.”

Her silence didn’t last long. Karyn says Holliday and Maggie spent the next visit cracking jokes and teasing each other. The Cardinal even took time to meet Maggie’s softball team when they visited her. “The Hollidays are a wonderful family. Matt and Maggie just light up when they see each other,” Karyn says. “It’s a friendship. They are a family just like we are. They have three kids they adore. We have fun when we’re together.”

Child-life specialists at Cardinal Glennon arranged for the visit with the Hollidays and are valuable resources, Maggie says. “They know how we feel. They are always friendly with the kids here and do stuff for us,” she says. If you’re in the hospital, and they say a celebrity is coming tomorrow, it puts our minds on that.” Karyn has seen firsthand the difference such a visit can make. “It just lights up their world,” she says. “It takes a couple of minutes but makes a huge difference in these kids who have to go through chemo.”

When faced with a cancer diagnosis, even the strongest adults struggle to see the silver lining, but Maggie says she focuses on the good that has come from her time at Cardinal Glennon. “I always think of the positive things,” she says. “I got to meet Matt Holliday and the team. I try to help other kids who are going through it, too.”

One year into treatment, Maggie says she is feeling good and is anxious to get back on the field again, a sight her mom, dad—and the Hollidays—can’t wait to see. “The true joy is going to be watching her behind the plate catching, being a softball player again,” Karyn says.

A stained, cracked driveway can make a home look terrible.

That’s why it’s imperative to clean and seal your driveway and sidewalks well before the cold weather hits, Mike advises. Perfect Power Wash’s protective sealant stops moisture from penetrating the surface of concrete to prevent cracking and spalling.

“The cleaning will remove surface grime and prepare the driveway for the sealer application,” Mike says. “Because concrete is porous, the longer oil and other fluids have to seep into the surface the harder they are to remove. Since stains can be absorbed as deep as an inch into the concrete, at some point they will become permanent. That’s why you want to call us as soon as possible.”

[Time ut... with Cortland Finnegan

FALL OPEN HOUSE

by jeff melnick

Solidifying the secondary was a top priority for new Rams coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead. So in the off-season they made a huge splash signing Cortland Finnegan away from the Tennessee Titans to a five-year, $50 million contract.

Town & Style spoke with Finnegan recently at Rams Park to get to know a little bit more about the feisty cornerback.

Q. What was most attractive to you about becoming a Ram? A. A lot had to do with the coach and what the team is all about. I had never visited St. Louis and just seeing

the way they embrace sports teams here, it felt like home.

Q. In your brief time here, what have you liked most?

A. It’s the people, the Midwest vibe you get from all of it. It’s sort of a Southern hospitality with that laidback atmosphere.

Q. Who was your idol growing up?

A. It’s always been Ray Lewis (linebacker of the Baltimore Ravens). I’ve always wanted to be a mini-linebacker.

In eighth grade I started at middle linebacker and wore number 52 (Lewis’ number) and I looked forward to one day calling myself a mini-Ray Lewis of intramural football.

Q. What’s your favorite clothes brand?

A. I like Burberry; I like the way it fits my frame. About 90 percent of my clothes are Burberry.

Q. What’s your favorite watch?

A. Phillip Stein. I really like the athletic approach and the leather bands.

Q. Besides football what’s your favorite sport to either play or watch?

A. You’re gonna laugh, but I love to bowl. My highest game is 289 (300 is a perfect score). I picked it up about

eight months ago, so I’m still learning all the nuances of it.

Q. What’s on your IPhone and who do you listen to before a game?

A. I listen to Rascal Flatts every day. I listen to SugarLand and then I listen to my Canadian Bagpipes. Amazing

Grace...that’s my last one…I lose myself in it, so it’s pretty cool.

Q. Favorite TV Show?

A. This is a new one, so don’t judge me, but it’s Honey Boo-Boo on TLC. It’s hilarious. I just saw it last week

for the first time. It’s about a little pageant girl, and it’s hilarity the whole time.

the college school est. 1963

LEARNING THROUGH E X P L O R AT I O N A N D R E F L E C T I O N

PRE-8

Q. Any favorite books?

A. Strong Father, Strong Daughter is a book I just read. I want to be a great dad to my daughter (18-month-

old Lyla). I just like to read.

Q. What do you like doing on an off-day?

A. Being a dad—I love it. Not having a father in my life, I love being a dad.

TOWN TALK

parent] trap Creativity Crisis by dr. tim jordan The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

If you ask a classroom of kindergarteners how many of them are artists, all or almost all of them will raise their hands. If you ask fourth graders, you might get a few hands.

Eighth graders, maybe one. Trust me, I’ve done this exercise many times.

What’s going on, you ask? Today, math, science and language arts are pushed in education—those, and teaching to pass the tests. The arts are dead last. If an 18-year-old entering college tells his parents he wants to major in art or music, most parents will unleash a litany of clichés about how “you can’t make a living as an artist.” So what effect does that have on young, budding creators?

Too many of these kids leave school feeling that what they love to do and what they’re good at isn’t valued. They question their real talents. And far too many give up their passions.

Go out to an elementary school playground at recess and see who rules the roost. It’s the biggest, strongest athlete if you’re a boy. The artsy boys are teased and excluded. In many parochial schools the whole social culture for families revolves around sports teams. Parents think nothing of dropping hundreds, even thousands, of dollars for teams, equipment, and out-of-town tournaments when it involves sports. I rarely see parents invest that kind of time, money and interest in their children’s artistic pursuits.

Schools also still tend to overvalue linear thinking, i.e., having the single best right answer to a question versus more out–of-the-box creative thinking. I saw Gail, a 5-year-old girl, because she was misbehaving at school.

One day her teacher asked Gail how many hands she had.

Gail pulled one of her hands up into her shirt sleeve and responded “one.” Her teacher told her that was wrong, try again, and Gail repeated that she had one hand. The flustered teacher pulled out her yellow misbehavior card and told her to sit down. What a tragedy!

We all need to encourage kids to become creative thinkers.

One of my favorite authors on creativity, Ken Robinson, says, “If you are not prepared to be wrong or make mistakes, you will never create anything original.” So encourage kids to take intellectual risks, to question everything.

Value passion where you find it. Support and value music, dance, sculpting and painting as much as the three R’s. Help your kids find the medium that most energizes their imaginations, the one they love to work with and allows them to express their innermost creativity.

The arts are what bring beauty and meaning to our lives and our cultures. But more important, when kids are allowed to follow their passions and do what they love, they become their highest, most authentic selves.

Melissa Brown & Max Klupchak] by rebecca koenig | photos by robyn rachel photography

6 | 16 | 2012

Melissa Brown and Max Klupchak met at the first sorority-fraternity mixer of the year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. They dated throughout college and decided to take a break once Max went off to law school at Emory University and Melissa took a job in Chicago, but reunited when Max took a Windy City job, too. “I like to say he followed me to Chicago,” says Melissa, a Ladue High School grad. “I always knew he was the one.” The college sweethearts were married at The Standard Club in Chicago.

Melissa wore Vera Wang, and Max wore a tux to the black-tie ceremony and reception. The couple’s favorite foods were served during a cocktail hour: fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits were available at the Southern station, while dumplings, dim sum and sushi was served at an Asian food table. After a formal dinner, guests enjoyed an eclectic mix of songs played by a live, 18-person band, Colby Beserra and the Party Faithful. The customized set list included Sweet Melissa in honor of the bride and University of Wisconsin fight songs. “The band was amazing. It was like they were out of a movie,” Melissa says.

A Wisconsin-themed after-party featuring the state’s signature beers, cheese curds and a groom’s cake shaped like Bucky Badger, the University of Wisconsin mascot, lasted well into the early morning. “My dad was up there singing karaoke all night,” Melissa says.

When the couple returned to St. Louis from their Hawaiian honeymoon, Melissa’s grandmother hosted a wedding luncheon for them at Westwood Country Club. In keeping with the Meet Me in St. Louis theme, the party had St. Louis landmark table settings and cupcake ferris wheels.

TOWN TALK

Get to know ] Amit Dhawan of the Central West End

by tony di martino | photo by charles barnes

WHAT I DO I’m managing partner of Synergy Productions, a national strategic marketing company focused on relationship marketing among corporations, celebrities, consumers and charities/civic organizations. We do event production, gala coordination and execution, as well as talent booking, public relations, graphic/Web/email marketing and design, and brand and venue management. I’m also a doctor and medical director of Kantar Health, a global consulting company that works with leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies. WHY I’M GOOD AT IT I have an innate ability to multitask and pay attention to details, the ability to adapt quickly to changing situations, and a deep appreciation of different walks of life, backgrounds and goals. ORIGINS I was born in New Delhi, India, but raised here from fifth grade onward. FAMILY I married my wonderful wife, Kelly, last year. My parents and sister also live here. EDUCATION I got my M.D. and M.B.A. at University of Missouri-Kansas City, and a master’s in health administration at Washington University.

BOYHOOD DREAM When I was a child, I wanted to do something that challenged me and created joy for others. My goals haven’t changed. GAS MONEY My first job was as a salesperson at Software Plus in Creve Coeur. CAREER PATH I got interested in the business side of medicine in med school. I thought I might want to run a hospital, but fell in love with marketing and consulting. When I returned to STL to go to Washington U., I began Synergy and started working at Kantar Health.

The journey has continued down both paths ever since. SATISFACTION The most gratifying aspects of my work are creating joy and a sense of community, watching our efforts culminate in the final event, and seeing the effect of funds raised through our charity efforts. FAVORITE MOVIE The Dark Knight, a blockbuster that also has a great story, wonderful acting and complex themes. FAVORITE BOOK The Great Gatsby MY HEROES My parents instilled in me the values and work ethic to take on life’s challenges, both personally and professionally. IS THERE ANYTHING HE CAN’T DO? My sister and friends will be the first to tell you that driving isn’t my forte. THIRD CAREER If I could do anything else for a living, it would be something in the front office in sports. I’m a passionate fan.

SATURDAY NIGHT Few things beat seeing a great performance or game, or dinner with friends followed by a nightcap at Mandarin, a lounge I’m involved with in the CWE. FAVORITE RESTAURANTS Niche for a nice meal, SubZero for a casual night in the neighborhood.

VACATION ESCAPE I love traveling internationally, but also enjoy quick getaways to Las Vegas—it’s world-class for dining, entertainment and hospitality. GOALS Synergy’s original motto was ‘To do cool stuff and bring cool events to St. Louis.’ I want to keep doing that on a bigger scale.

A Conversation with Malcolm Ivey of Ivey-Selkirk President and owner of the second oldest auction house in the country, Malcolm Ivey has 20 years of experience in the industry.

We spent some time at the September Gallery Auction and learned about previews, bidding, and the great deals and finds that abound at Ivey-Selkirk. Ivey cleared up some questions we had and showed us how the auction process “has something for everyone.”

T&S | What is your history in the auction business?

MI | I started with Selkirk’s in the early ’70s, when I answered an ad in the Post-Dispatch for an auction clerk. I didn’t even know what that was! I worked for Bruce Selkirk for 13 years. I left and went into the personal trust business, and then Bruce sold the firm in ’88 to the British firm, Phillips. I went back and worked for Phillips, and then was able to purchase the company in 2002.

T&S | How has the industry changed in that time?

MI | Like everything else, the Internet has totally changed the way we do business. In the old days, we used to take film pictures, go to Walgreens to get them developed and then mail them to collectors. Today we have a worldwide audience at the click of a key.

T&S | You’re not only the president of Ivey-Selkirk, you are also an auctioneer. How did you learn that skill?

MI | No learning! One day Bruce told me I was going to sell and I just had to think, OK! I accepted it would take a while to learn. It’s basically a baptism by fire. And it’s something that is hard to practice in advance. You just have to accept that you’re going to make mistakes, but you move on and keep the sale going!

T&S | Some people find the auction process intimidating. How would you change their mind?

MI | I would tell them it’s a friendly process, no secrets. No touching your nose as a signal!

People can come to previews, look around, take pictures and measurements. There is no pressure at all.

T&S | How do you find the items that are up for auction?

MI | We do a lot of estate work. People contact us if they are moving or buying a second home.

We respond via email and send our appraisal staff to the site to see the pieces. People can choose to consign just one item or many. Our staff determines if the items would sell at auction and gives the owner an estimate.

Malcolm Ivey

Richard Sly long case clock circa 1770, estimated between $5,000 and $6,000 and sold for $4,500.

Rococo style three-piece clock garniture, estimated between $750 and $1,000 sold for $2,250.

English Regency mahogany library table, early 19th century, estimated between $3,500 and $4,500 and sold for $2,750.

Louis XV-Style Giltwood three-piece parlor ensemble, late 19th century, estimated between $2,000 and $3,000 sold for $1,700.

Ready to Bid?

T&S | What’s the difference between a Jackson Rooms auction and a Gallery Auction?

MI | Value. Items estimated at $500 to $1,000 minimum typically go in a Gallery Auction, whereas lower- or medium-valued items go in a Jackson Rooms auction. We have things that go for as little as $10!

Wendy Steinbecker tells us how to get the goods:

T&S | What is a buyer’s premium?

MI | A buyer’s premium is the hammer price on an item, plus 18 percent and tax.

1 Go online to find the auction and preview dates.

T&S | What are the multiple ways to bid?

MI | There are several ways to bid: absentee bid, phone, in person, and even online bidding. Online bidding occurs through the site LiveAuctioneers.com and is in real time. The only difference is instead of the 18 percent buyer’s premium, there is a 20 percent charge on top of the hammer price.

T&S | Does the seller set the minimum price (reserve) for their item? What happens if that isn’t met?

MI | Yes, the seller sets the reserve. However, there is no reserve on items valued at less than $1,000. If an item does not sell for that minimum price, the seller can decide whether to include it in a future auction or take it back home.

T&S | Any stories about items that went for more than expected?

MI | Terry Beye, one of our senior appraisers, made a house call on a garage sale. He saw an old Oriental carpet that was literally going to be thrown away. He took it and went for $20,000 at auction! That’s what can be so exciting about this business. Sometimes it’s all about the hunt.!

Full Mount Lion sold for $3,250; Bear mount sold for $600; Bison head sold for $700.

2 Attend the preview or view catalog online. Catalogs are available for purchase beginning at the preview. This is a great opportunity to check out all items up close and is highly recommended.

3 We loved going through and highlighting our favorites in the catalog and were able to see firsthand the condition each piece is in.

4 Pre-register during preview days and get a paddle number on auction day.

5 Check out order of sale located in the catalog and online to determine when your items are up for bid. Or just make a day of it! It’s not a bad idea to get there before your item is up to get the lay of the land.

6 Paddles up! All bids are subject to sales tax and a buyer’s premium. A buyer’s premium of 18 percent is added to the hammer price on the first $500,000 and a premium of 10 percent on the amount thereafter, as well as sales tax, if applicable.

7 Check out, and pay by cash, money order, bank check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, personal check (with valid ID) or wire transfer.

8 Tow your treasures. You have two days to pay and remove items unless payment and delivery arrangements have been made.

After spending the better part of two years pregnant, Mikaela White was through with feeling overweight and tired.

“My daughter Lyla was 6 weeks old and my son Logan was 15 months, and I just had a revelation—‘I’m done with this.’ I wanted to go back to feeling like myself,” she says.

“Even after just a few months of exercise I was happier and more energized. My kids and my husband really benefit from the changes to my self-esteem, attitude and demeanor.”

“When I first started, I would just jog/ walk for about 30 minutes—and that was terrible! I had no endurance. A lot of times I was stopping to catch my breath after just a few minutes. After 12 weeks, I could run a 5K and feel good.” In the two years since White’s ‘aha’ moment, she’s run six half-marathons and numerous other races. Next month, she’ll take on her toughest challenge yet: the Tough Mudder, a boot-camp-inspired obstacle course including ice baths, tight-ropes

and army-crawling through the mud. “My personality craves a challenge and a goal,” White says. “You’re never going to be perfect, you just get better. I eventually get bored, so I already look forward to what’s next: Asylum (Insanity’s next generation), CrossFit, and I don’t know what else!”

Now 30 and nearly 50 pounds lighter than when she started her routine two years ago, White runs on a treadmill in front of the television either before her kids wake up (often at 3:30 a.m.!) or after they’re in bed.

“Perhaps my schedule is a little earlier than a lot of women my age,” she admits. “I wake up super early, and I’m often in bed by 9 or 10 p.m.

Working out is just an appointment for me, so I fit it in where I can. Everyone has the same 24 hours to work with.” And White doesn’t put the kibosh on other indulgences. “I never want to say to myself, you can’t have that bagel, or you can’t have a glass of wine. I have two babies and work full time! I deserve it.”

minimized

with

Dr. Judith Gurley, plastic surgeon The inframammary incision is the most popular approach to breast augmentation today. It refers to the natural crease below the breast. It’s a favorable incision site because, once the breast is augmented, the residual scar — a thin horizontal line — is usually not visible unless you lift the breast.

Because most of the work is performed at the crease, the breasts, milk ducts and nerves are largely untouched.

Consequently, women who undergo breast augmentation with this approach have a diminished chance for breast numbness.

Incision size varies.

Bigger implants require a bigger incision and result in a longer scar.

Pre-filled silicone-gel implants are larger than saline implants, which are inflated once inside the breast. However, silicone implants yield a more natural-feeling breast and offer more choice in sizes and shapes than their saline counterparts. And the easiest way to insert silicone-gel breast implants is through an inframammary incision.

certain

Dr. Michele Koo, plastic surgeon There is no truly scar-less breast augmentation. Even if one chooses to have a natural breast augmentation with fat transfer, scars result, although they are minimal.

Be aware that fat transfer may make mammograms even more difficult to interpret than conventional implants. It’s not the method of choice for augmentation.

It’s more applicable to enhancement of deficits after breast reconstruction.

The surgeon’s preference, the type of breast implant and its size dictate location of the incision. Silicone implants produce a slightly longer scar than saline breast implants.

I typically use a periareolar or an inframammary incision. Periaereolar refers to the junction of the dark and light skin around the nipple. The inframammary (below the breast crease) scar is very well accepted by most patients and well hidden. The inframammary approach is used with silicone implants, which I believe age better than saline. Saline implants may develop wrinkles at the edges that might be felt after 10 to 15 years. Women need to realize that their initial breast-enhancement surgery will not be their last.

[ seeing double ]

[ lower blepharoplasty ] Hoisting eyelids tired-looking face.

Necks-lifts can remove double chins and tighten sagging skin.

“Sagging skin is like a desk on a rug,” says Dr. Michael Nayak of Nayak Plastic Surgery.

“When the rug moves, the desk also moves.”

That’s how it is with double chins, he adds. “When the muscles on the chin and neck loosen and stretch, they take the upper layer of skin with it — and your defined neckline.”

The way to a taut, lean, youthful-looking neck is to rebuild it, from the inside out, with a neck-lift, Nayak says. “We reshape the deep layers, tighten the muscles, and then decide if we need to remove fat under the skin.” He often uses both liposuction and surgery to remove excess fat.

“When the neckline is improved, jaw line or jowl looseness is unmasked,” Nayak says. A small face-lift helps everything ‘lay’ better, especially in patients 40-plus. “People need to know that ‘neck-lift’ is a non-specific term,” he notes. “It means we are trying to make the neck look less loose, less droopy. But the term doesn’t identify which layer is being treated, to what extent and how. Make sure you know exactly what is going to be done, and that you and your plastic surgeon share the same vision.”

rejuvenate

a

Dr. Herluf G. Lund, St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery The goal of a lower blepharoplasty is to tighten, lift and firm the lower eyelid to achieve a more youthful and refreshed look and eliminate that ‘chronically tired’ appearance.

Almost anyone in good health with extra skin or fatty tissue in their lower eyelids who is unhappy with their appearance is a candidate. The majority of my patients who seek a lower blepharoplasty are in their 40s and 50s. Occasionally, I see younger patients who inherited certain facial features that prompt them to seek treatment earlier.

There are two approaches to the surgery: an external incision under the eyelashes or an incision inside the eyelid. With the external incision, the surgeon removes excess fat that forms ‘bags’ in lower eyelids and extra skin on the lid. The main reason for an internal incision is that it doesn’t traumatize other structures of the lid. The fat that needs to be removed sits inside this layer.

all can be corrected with a lower blepharoplasty. Generally, a lower blepharoplasty is used to change the shape of the eyelid.

But there are a number of techniques and different ways to perform it.

I often use an internal incision, which leaves no scar, and a fat repositioning technique. I move fat from the eyelid, which looks ‘chubby,’ to the cheeks. Many people lose volume in their cheeks with age. Skin treatments, like chemical peels or laser therapy, often follow and complement surgery. With lasering, the patient achieves tightening over the entire area.

Everyone experiences some blurry vision following surgery.

An ointment is a contributing factor, as well as the patient’s temporary inability to blink. Blinking functions as the eyes’ windshield wipers: it removes debris.

Patients need 10 to 14 days at a minimum to heal. They also need to know that a lower blepharoplasty can be challenging, so they need to see a surgeon who is familiar with the procedure.

[ skin-saving surgery ] What microscopic surgical procedure provides high cure rates while sparing healthy tissue near skin cancers?

Dr. Eva Hurst, director, Center for Dermatologic and Cosmetic surgery, W.U. School of Medicine Mohs micrographic surgery is a way of microscopically controlling skin cancers. It’s called micrographic because it involves excising the tumor layer by layer and microscopically examining it to graph the cancer’s exact location with slides. Most surgeries take three to six hours because of the time spent processing slides.

It’s an outpatient procedure performed in stages—the average number is two—with the patient relaxing between each stage.

Patients receive a local anesthetic.

Mohs surgery is used for basal cell and some squamous malignancies. It is used on skin cancers in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas, on risky or recurrent tumors, and on large tumors (bigger than a dime on the face, and a half-dollar on the body).

Sutures, a skin graft or skin flap are most often performed to close the wound.

Dr. Lee S. Portnoff, former president, American Society for Mohs Surgery Mohs surgery is the gold standard for a variety of skin cancers. It allows us to treat skin cancers in a complete manner with curative rates up to 99 percent.

Skin cancers can be difficult to treat if they have invisible strands that extend from the tumor in an irregular fashion.

The only way to see these strands is with a microscope. Tissue is removed in small sections that are stained and examined to determine the tumor’s perimeter and the presence of strands. The dermatologic surgeon, who also acts as a pathologist, progressively removes and examines tissue until it is cancer-free.

Mohs results in smaller wounds with treatment often accomplished in one session. Most patients tend to be older than 50 because of more exposure to sunlight.

However, I’ve had a few patients as young as 18. All used tanning beds.

[ tummy tucks ] Sit-ups strengthen abdominal muscles, but tummy tucks rejuvenate the abdominal wall.

“A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is not weight-loss surgery,” says plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Rottler.

“It’s meant for people who have abdominal-wall laxity from age, obesity and pregnancy.”

The procedure removes the loose, apron-like overhang of skin that occurs when stomach muscles stretch, separate and create a void. But it’s not for everyone. “Before I perform the surgery, the candidate must be in good health and not extremely overweight,” Rottler explains. Too much heft and a high BMI increase the chance for complications. “The last thing you want to do is put a healthy patient at risk,” he says. Therefore he counsels patients to lose weight—and then return.

The procedure takes approximately three to four hours to perform.

Excess skin and fat are removed through an incision from hip to hip above the pubic hairline.

Abdominal muscles also are tightened. “When done correctly, a tummy tuck is the most powerful tool to restore the abdominal wall,” Rottler says.

[ whatbody we love in…] butters by dorothy weiner | photo by charles barnes

If ever there’s a time when we need a little body pampering, this is it.

The weather is cooling, the furnaces are kicking on, and our skin is reacting (and not in good ways). Dry, itchy skin (even flaking) are signs of the season. Moisturizing the body’s largest organ is important any time of year, as your dermatologist will tell you, but especially now. It’s thirsty, and there’s no better way to quench that thirst than with rich, creamy body butters. Apply from neck to toes, and notice the difference (not to mention the yummy scent that follows you all day long.)

Meant to help body skin stay youthful (much like Natura Bisse’s Diamond face creams), this has artemia salina extract, which derives from brine shrimp and is said to stimulate cell metabolism.

It includes natural hydrating agents like watercress and shea butter, which help skin retain moisture. Lavender oil adds a light, refreshing scent. As for how it feels, the name says it all.

This one is not really a body butter; rather it falls into the lighter category of lotion. But it has its own richness and the wonderful spicy smells this London line is known for.

Another plus is its versatility: you can use lotion (especially when it has a pump, like this one does) as a hand cream without feeling wasteful.

A velvety, rich cream, Trish McEvoy No. 9 has a pronounced vanilla and blackberry scent with light musky undertones.

It’s combination of shea and cocoa butters for maximum softening and vitamins A and E for enrichment. Coconut and jojoba oils are said to condition the skin.

This cream has special properties that calm skin, especially helpful for dry, itchy winter skin. Botanical tea and ginger extracts soothe, while a complex of plant ingredients add and help retain moisture.

It’s not called “body rescue cream” for nothing!

Depositing a vitamin-rich layer of cream all over your body, Laura Mercier’s whipped body & bath line is dubbed ‘souffle’ rather than cream or butter. It is infused with shea and vitamins A, C and E. The Amber Vanille scent is an enticing blend of vanilla and spicy amber.

Pomme has been a Clayton gem since it opened nearly 10 years ago. It moved into the cozy storefront spot occupied by another popular restaurant, Café Provencal, so it had a hard act to follow. But culinary mastery in the kitchen and expert service in the dining room quickly made this place an instant favorite.

The menu is underpinned by French cuisine, but not stuffy. Chef Bryan Carr uses seasonal ingredients to create dishes served with an array of accompaniments.

Take the Gnocchi starter ($9), lightly browned dumplings, firm on the outside and soft, almost moist, inside. The dish came with a half-tomato softened by a confit preparation, roasted asparagus tips and fresh mozzarella, all drizzled with browned butter. That’s a lot

of attention for a starter.

An entree of Lamb Tenderloin ($36) came with a few house-made pea ravioli, sauteed fresh artichoke hearts, crushed tomatoes, still-crisp broccolini and a richly flavored demi glace flavored with thyme. Although the lamb was too rare (I was not asked how I wanted it prepared), the meal was like a symphony of flavors, all of them very good and well-blended. Another entree, walleye topped by white beans Provencal, was buttery and delicious.

Even the salad, Butter Lettuce with Roasted Beets and Roquefort ($11), was well conceived. The sweet beets and super-creamy imported Roquefort elevated a green salad to a gourmet treat. Chilled Pea Soup with Fresh Maine

Apronomics microbreweries by rebecca koenig | photos by bill barrett

Love seasonal fall beers, but want to branch out from pumpkin-flavored brews?

Luckily St. Louis has more than a dozen craft breweries to help quench your thirst for autumn ale. Here are four that offer fall beers you can enjoy at on-site tasting rooms or take home in a growler to your Oktoberfest celebrations.

Urban Chestnut Brewing Company | 3229 Washington Ave. Florian Kuplent, master brewer The patio is often packed at the Bavarian biergarten next to Urban Chestnut, where customers snack on sausages and pretzels and drink from steins under strings of lights.

Germany-native Florian Kuplent helped open the midtown brewery in 2010. “It’s always been a dream of mine to open my own brewery,” he says, ever since experimenting with test batches while studying brewing at the University of Munich-Weihenstephan. Urban Chestnut makes two lines of beers. The Reverence series pays homage to classic European styles, which Kuplent is very familiar with, having grown up in Germany and worked in England and Belgium. These beers use malt and hops imported from the countries that inspired them. The Revolution series incorporates less-traditional ingredients to create more-innovative brews.

4 Hands Brewing Co. | 1220 8th St. Kevin Lemp, president “We like to brew what we like to drink,” Kevin Lemp says, explaining why he founded 4 Hands Brewing Co. in December 2011. “I really wanted to follow my passion and be able to do it the way I saw it. We created unique styles of beer and push the envelope a little bit.” The brewery’s four core beers, two barrel-aged brews and other specialty pours are available at its 1,600-square-foot tasting room. Lemp describes the space as “homey and industrial,” with chairs, tables and a bar made of wood reclaimed from a century-old barn in Tipton, Mo., that was slated for demolition. A large interior window allows patrons to peer into the brewery while they munch on snacks from The Fifth Wheel, an offshoot of Bailey’s Range.

Six Row Brewing Company | 3690 Forest Park Ave. Evan Hiatt, head brewer and co-owner Evan Hiatt hoped to open a winery someday—and then discovered the beer industry.

“I loved it that much more,” he says. “It’s a great culture. It’s a lot of fun. I like to teach people what a quality, hand-crafted beer tastes like, creating something from scratch and seeing people’s reactions to it.” He helped open Six Row in December 2009 in the original Falstaff Brewing Co. plant, appreciative of the building’s beer heritage. The midtown tasting room offers pilsners, IPAs and whales, as well as a full food menu. “People get to come down here, have a pint, talk to us,” Hiatt says. “It puts a face to the brewery.”

Perennial Artisan Ales | 8125 Michigan Ave. Phil Wymore, co-founder Belgian styles and local ingredients inspire beer creation at Perennial Artisan Ales.

“We’re tied to harvests and Mother Nature,” says Phil Wymore, who helped open the brewery in 2011. Wymore studied the art and science of brewing after college at Siebal Institute for Technology in Chicago, then worked at Goose Island Beer Company and Half-Acre Beer Company. Sensing an opportunity to provide craft beer to customers put off by Anheuser-Busch’s sale, he started his own business in St. Louis. Perennial makes three Belgian-style flagship beers, as well as a collection of Cellar beers that age well and have higher alcohol content. Exposed and repurposed materials lend the tasting room an industrial feel, and food dishes are created by Claire Mendez, a pastry chef by training. “We have a really focused menu trying to find things that fit with our type of beer,” Wymore says.

Dorfbier A dark, malty and sessionable lager. “The everyday beer of Bavaria,” Kuplent says.

T&S ] properties Enclave Bellerive

by rebecca koenig

A new model house will soon rise at Enclave Bellerive, the latest of many changes at the 44-acre custom home development in Creve Coeur. With 14 of the 55 lots already spoken for and three new homes going up during the past two years, sales and operations manager Chris Vatterott says, “Everybody’s really happy with the continued investment in the development.”

The new model, called the Sheridan, is based on a best-selling design from a Denver development similar to Enclave Bellerive. Vatterott describes the floor plan as “youthful” and says the model can be customized to range in size from 2,750 to more than 4,500 square feet. An irongated turret marks the entrance to the home. The dining room and study overlook a semi-private front courtyard, while the living room, breakfast room and master bedroom offer views of the rear courtyard. The house features 9-foot-plus plate ceilings as well as vaulted and other ceiling details, and the great room soars to 13 feet. People may opt to add a partial finished basement with bedroom and bath, a home theater or a lower-level second bedroom suite.

While Enclave Bellerive’s original plans required custom homes to adhere to Jeffersonian architecture principles, the development now accommodates a greater variety of tastes by approving most traditional brick designs; the development won the best in class community design award in the 2007 national Brick Industry Association competition.

Homeowners now may also opt to work with their own qualified builders. To maintain the aesthetic integrity of the neighborhood, current homeowners and an architectural review committee are consulted on proposed custom house plans.

Custom construction is far from the only benefit offered by Enclave Bellerive. Vatterott says residents, several of whom are retired, appreciate the security of living in the gated community and the fact that the homeowners association handles complete grounds care and irrigation. “We cut the grass, we trim the trees, we plow the snow,” he says. Many people also find the environmentconscious construction and energy efficiency of new appliances appealing. Most of the development’s homeowners are leaving bigger homes with higher energy costs, Vatterott says.

Enclave Bellerive is a local family-owned property whose overseers are committed to improving the development, says Vatterott, which homeowners find reassuring. “The development is on a rock-solid financial footing, and that fact eliminates a common new-home buyer fear,” he says. pictured on the cover: a rendering of the new sheridan model home, currently under construction

RICE NEW P

Andy and Iva Youkilis are no strangers to relocating. Iva, who is originally from Croatia, met her husband while the two were studying in Milan. The couple settled in Ann Arbor, Mich., until Andy took a new position as a neurosurgeon in St. Louis in 2002. When they looked at St. Louis homes, they had three priorities. First, a good school district for sons Noah, now 16, Jacob, 15, and Sam, 12. Second, a great community feeling, and third, proximity to Washington University, where Iva is an Italian lecturer. They fell in love with their five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath home in Claverach Park—but they almost didn’t get it!

Q. How did you find this home?

A. Our realtors sent out a letter saying there is a family with children looking to move and was anyone willing

to sell? There was a 93-year-old woman who wanted to sell to a family with kids who would not tear down the house, so we got it at a great price. We were about to put the money down on a house that was half the size.

I said, “This is not possible. Something is wrong with this person, or the house is a mess!”

Q. Thankfully it wasn’t! Why was this neighborhood such a draw?

A. I have neighbors I really love. And I’m still in some kind of urban environment. I can walk anywhere, and I

run in the morning. Community is a big part of where we are.

Q. What sold you on the Clayton school district?

A. We like that it was diverse and little larger than a small private school. I wanted us to be part of a

community so they could walk with friends to and from school. For my husband, it was important that the kids were not all the same. Parts of Clayton have lots of renters, so we get people from around the world who go to school with them. It’s interesting to see how they socialize with different groups of kids.

Q. Do school athletics keep your boys busy?

A. My oldest is a swimmer and plays water polo, the middle son plays soccer and tennis, and the youngest does

track and field. I think when they move out of the house, we’ll have every single ball, racket, stick and jersey!

homework

Dear Homework,

My wife and I bought this wonderful house two years ago. We are really pleased with the updates inside and around the pool, but would like to see a more updated look outside. What changes might you do to bring it out of the ’80s and into 2012!

———Bring Me Into This Decade

Dear Bring Me Into This Decade,

If you want to make your house more current, you will need to make it look either more modern or more traditional... in other words, less ‘middle of the road.’ In this case, making the house more traditional will be the easier way to go. Country French has probably been the most popular style the past 10 years for an upperend project. Using that style’s attributes will help update your house.

Make a bigger statement with the front door by building a new arched brick portal to frame the door and make it stand out. Replace the door and side lights with a stained wood ensemble of simpler design. Next, paint the white trim slate green to allow this mellower color to blend better with the existing brick. Then add a second floor, front facing, gabled dormer to add more interest to the roofline. Add window grids, wood shutters, shutter hinges, tiebacks and a window flower box to increase the level of detail. Add a low brick wall with corner light piers to create an entry court and add another level of architectural detail.

For the landscaping, trim or remove any trees that block the house and replace with plantings that frame the composition. Not only does your house now look more up-to-date, it now has the feel of a long-established estate. Good luck with your changes.
