from the editor’s desk Today’s issue includes our special section on Cardinal Glennon Childen’s Hospital and descriptions of a remarkable fundraiser, the Glennon Card. I’ve mentioned it every year, but it is such a good cause, and a great opportunity for shoppers, that I’m doing it again. It’s a joint effort between Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and Cardinal Glennon Guild (leave it to 300 women to come up with a way to give back and buy shoes at the same time!). The card entitles you to a 20 percent discount at stores, restaurants and salons around town during a 10-day period.

The entire cost of the card, $50, goes directly to the children’s hospital to fund equipment, services and facilities for making sick children more comfortable—200,000 of them every year.

These are the children of our community, and not one of them is ever turned away by Cardinal Glennon. Since its launch in 2011, the Glennon Card has raised $600,000 for our kids, and there is reason to hope this year’s sales will top that of previous years.

For one thing, in 2014, 3,200 cards were sold, a 34 percent increase over 2013. For another, St. Louisans have big hearts, and the more they hear and read about the Glennon Card, the more likely those numbers will skyrocket. As for participating stores, there has been a 13 percent increase this year, to 324 stores, restaurants and salons that will offer the discount, valid from Oct. 23 through Nov. 1. As you can see, that’s just in time for holiday shopping, complete with delicious dining breaks inbetween. And, of course, for the relaxing mani-pedi or facial you deserve for getting your holiday gifts out of the way so early.

[ talkof thetowns ] by bill beggs jr.

In polite company you’re not supposed to talk about religion and politics. But corn is OK. Along with any number of other things, a tribute from the National Corn Growers Association probably made former House Speaker John Boehner cry. The association, based in Chesterfield, released a statement expressing gratitude for Boehner’s “service on the House Agriculture Committee, and his work for a more transparent and productive Congress.” We won’t argue with his work to promote agriculture, but the powerful rep from Ohio, a few heartbeats from the Oval Office, was less than ‘productive’ more than a few times when President Obama had something important to say to Congress and/ or the country. His scowl was unmistakable, so I’ll agree he was ‘transparent.’ On to religion ... Boehner invited Pope Francis to address a joint session of the august body, and the pontiff called politics “an expression of our compelling need to live as one, in order to build as one the greatest common good: that of a community which sacrifices particular interests in order to share, in justice and peace, its goods, its interests, its social life.” Perhaps our legislators will take that to heart and not waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act. In his statement, Chip Bowling, president of the Corn Growers Association, issued a plea that could have come from either side of the aisle: “We ask Congress to set aside partisan interests and work together to solve important issues such as the federal budget, tax reform, and investing in our roads and bridges.

Let’s come to the table with constructive solutions to move our country forward.” That happening would be enough to make any grown man cry these days.

The Missouri governor’s race is not as crowded on the right as the national contest is with Republican hopefuls.

Plus, it lacks a female CEO and a black neurosurgeon; still, it now has expanded to five candidates. The newest entry is John Brunner, 63, of Frontenac, who notes his business experience as his chief asset—he has never held public office, and you can be assured his hands will be clean: Brunner is former CEO of Vi-John, a hand-sanitizer company. He’s not fond of ‘career politicians.’ (Criminy, people—it’s supposed to be all about public service!) Brunner is no stranger to the nastiness of political campaigning, yet he’s up to the challenge again.

He lost to former U.S. Rep. Todd Akin in a 2012 primary bid for U.S. Senate in the eventual failed attempt to defeat Claire McCaskill. (Meanwhile, Gov. Jay Nixon cannot run again because of term limits.) The field of candidates, pre-primary season, is not as crowded on the left as it is in the national contest, either. The only Democrat, at this point, is State Attorney General Chris Koster. (Hey, you could run! Or I could. But wait … does Jeff. City have a Church’s fried chicken?)

Eighth-grader and Irish dancer extraordinaire Mary Clare Muehlemann, a 2014 graduate of Villa di Maria Montessori in Kirkwood, will compete in the Mid-America Oireachtas Nov. 27 to 29 in Minneapolis. Mary Clare, 13, qualified for this regional competition in late July at the St. Louis An Samhra Feis, held at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac and sponsored by Clarkson School of Irish Dance. Although now at the College School in Webster Groves, she holds her experience at Villa close to her heart, as that’s where she started cutting a rug. Well, no rugs involved in her specialties, where shoes hit floor very rapidly and with frequency. Mary Clare excels at the Slip Jig, a soft shoe dance, and the Treble Jig, a hard shoe, or heavy step, dance. She is practicing rigorously for the oireachtas, which brings Irish dancers from 14 states together in the largest regional competition in North America. From there, select dancers go on to the 2016 North American Irish Dance Nationals in Orlando, Florida, next July. No off-season for her! We wish for Mary Clare to be fleet of feet. (Want to get your Gaelic on? Oireachtas means ‘gathering,’ and in modern Irish dance refers to an annual championship competition; Feis is a traditional arts and culture festival; Samhra is the word for ‘summer.’)

The statistics are stark: A child dies every six seconds from malnutrition and related illnesses. But many of the ‘haves’ have taken it upon themselves to help alleviate this unimaginable suffering and will come together at John Burroughs School the end of this week—9 a.m. to 7 p.m on Friday, Oct. 16—to mark St. Louis World Food Day. Adults and children (as young as 7 with an adult) are invited to be part of teams that assemble packets of food. More than 1,500 of your friends and neighbors are anticipated to gather for packaging thousands of meals destined to feed 300,000 people. World Food Day marks the founding of the United Nations’ Food & Agriculture Organization and is designed to increase awareness and understanding and encourage people to take informed, year-round action to alleviate hunger. Volunteers at Burroughs, 755 S. Price Road in Ladue, will package rice/bean/soy protein meals to be sent to critically malnourished people in sub-Saharan Africa, plus fortified macaroni and cheese meals for distribution in the metro and elsewhere in the region. Each meal packaged will feed up to six children. The food is designed to reverse the starvation process, help restore health, and improve mental and physical alertness. The sealed packages have a shelf life of two years. The cost of each life-sustaining meal is approximately 25 cents, which covers the ingredients, packaging, administration and international shipping costs. Across the United States, a growing network of organizations hosts World Food Day commemorations, ranging from hands-on activities for hunger relief to academic programming and opportunities to learn more about the work of farmers in the U.S. and beyond.

Globally, more than 150 countries host observations to bring hunger challenges into focus.

Everyone has taken a picture of the Gateway Arch at one point or another … haven’t you? When it comes to our iconic national monument, gawking just isn’t enough. You have to capture it for posterity. Maybe you still have family shots on a slide carousel in the attic? Or, you fancy yourself a serious photographer, and have taken some seriously arty shots of the swooping, elegant catenary form. Perhaps you ventured down to the riverfront one foggy morning and got an image of two legs disappearing into clouds, with the apex, 630 feet above the ground, invisible. At least you wish you had. No two shots are alike, of course, depending on the weather or the time of day. Sunrise, sunset. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the stainless-steel behemoth’s completion on Oct. 28, 1965, the Gateway Arch has announced a call for photos. Fans and visitors may submit their best personal photos of the Arch for potential use in a permanent, digital photo exhibit debuting in the Arch’s tram loading zones in March 2016. Come one, come all to the Missouri History Museum two weeks from today … 2 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 28 … with your fine photos or dog-eared snapshots to have them digitally scanned for consideration. Ideal would be photos from back in the day, during the construction phase that began in February 1963 and continued for the next “two-and-three-quarter years. So are any shots taken yesterday with a ‘smart’ phone’s digital camera. Eero Saarinen’s design for our amazing Arch is timeless, and perhaps one of your photos will be, too. At the submitters’ request, event staff will offer a digital copy of scanned photos via email. Images also will be submitted to the Arch Perspectives exhibit, a collaboration between the History Museum and UMSL. Meanwhile, anyone with a scanner (or otherwise tech-savvy enough to take matters into their own hands) may upload their images to gatewayarch.com/submitphotos.

St. Louis continues to be a hub for innovation with the big announcement that

Square has opened an office here. The mobile payments company was founded in 2009

by St. Louis natives Jim McKelvey and Jack Dorsey. “St. Louis is an important part of Square’s history,” Dorsey says. “It’s an incredible city and my hometown, and we’re excited to further invest in the community.” Located in the CWE’s St. Louis Cortex Innovation Community, the new office will house 40 full-time employees immediately and grow to more than 200 in the next five years.

Washington University has done it again!

The school will host one of the four general-election debates scheduled for next year, earning the distinction of hosting more debates than any other institution in history. The Oct. 9, 2016, debate will be held in the Athletics Complex, and the Commission on Presidential Debates will assign all tickets.

summer with my husband. I don’t make a good passenger. I’m prone to panic. “Did you see that car?”

“Aren’t you going a little fast?” Or I just slam the fake brakes on the passenger’s side and curse. It makes for some tense moments. So to save my marriage, I decided I would explore places closer to home. My first trip was to New Haven, Missouri, which is about 45 minutes from St. Louis on Highway 100, just west of Washington and east of Hermann. New Haven has the perfect amount of charm, but more important, it has its very own distillery!

I’ve always thought Missourians have a weird relationship with their rivers. The only time we talk about them is when they flood or when we shake our heads at development in a flood plain. (Nobody, I mean nobody, better ever suggest the outlet malls weren’t a necessary use of the land … I digress.) We don’t spend much time exploring the rivers or the small towns along them, which often are filled with amazing history and unique businesses. The small cities along the Missouri River are starting to band together to boost both commerce and conservation, and New Haven is one of many cities going through a revitalization. Over the past five years, the downtown area, which was once pretty empty, is now filled with quaint shops, a fabulous pizza joint, a one-of-a-kind glass blowing studio and a ukulele-making company.

I must admit, though, the highlight of my mini vacation was a visit to the Pinckney Bend Distillery, which makes vodka, gin, whiskey from heirloom corn, along with its very own tonic syrup and offers tastings each day. Don’t expect anything fancy, but do expect a fun and unique experience for just $5! You can choose a tasting of all whiskeys or a tasting of all their other spirits. I opted for tasting ‘all other:' a little bit of vodka, gin and corn whiskey finished off with a gin and tonic. I learned all about the process of making the spirits and got a tour of the facility, which is about the size of a large garage. It was unlike any tasting I ever attended. I love wine tastings, but I have always found them to be a little pretentious.

Most likely because I can never taste the subtle hints of coriander or lavender or whatever. No pretending here: this was just drinking. Mind you, these spirits have won international awards and are lovingly hand-crafted in small batches, but the experience itself was like being at a small bar talking to the bartender about his favorite cocktails.

Need more reasons to go to New Haven? Try the upcoming Fire Fest, Nov. 7. Besides featuring normal festival activities, they will have glass blowing, blacksmithing (whatever that means), and candle and pottery making. But the best thing is they will fire a cannon every hour on the hour. Where else can you go to drink a little whiskey, eat a hot dog and see a cannon being fired?

Children’s Foundation

by stephanie zeilenga When a community collaborates, great things happen. And when the mission is

improving health care for our children, St. Louis rallies—big time. For the fifth year, shoppers and merchants will come together to support the annual Glennon Card campaign, the major fundraiser for SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation.

Purchasers of the card are entitled to a 20 percent discount on regularly priced merchandise at 325 participating stores, restaurants and salons from Oct. 23 to Nov. 1; the card costs $50. The entire dollar amount from card sales directly benefits the more than 200,000 children cared for

by SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital annually. “It’s a wonderful program that the whole community gets involved in,” says Tricia Davies, who is co-chairing the event with Brigette McMillin.

The fundraiser, organized by both the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and the Cardinal Glennon Guild, a 300-member women’s organization, started in 2011. Since then, it has raised nearly $600,000, with last year’s profits totaling $180,000 through a combination of card sales and sponsorships. Each year it grows. “In 2014, we sold 3,200 cards, which was a 34 percent increase from the previous year, largely due to merchants proactively selling cards,” Davies says. This year, there also is a 13 percent increase in participating merchants.

Proceeds raised by the Glennon Card have funded a variety of improvements at the hospital, including telemedicine equipment, treatment programs for children with autism, transport equipment, lifesaving ECMO heart and lung monitoring equipment, and enhanced waiting, atrium and lobby spaces. Funds raised in 2014 went toward the purchase of new advanced procedural and surgical scopes for patients undergoing general surgery, as well as ear, nose and throat procedures, urological interventions, orthopedic surgeries and pulmonary procedures, Davies says.

The 2015 Glennon Card program is sponsored by Drury Hotels, Town&Style, Show Me St. Louis, KSDK News Channel 5, fit-flavors and others. The card is sold online at glennoncard.org until Oct. 18 or at 148 participating merchants from Oct. 10 through Nov. 1. A complete list of merchants is available online or at mobile app mobile.glennoncard.org. Cardholders who register at glennoncard.org by Nov. 2 are eligible for the Register to Win sweepstakes, sponsored this year

by Waterway Gas and Wash, which is donating eight Clean Car Club memberships.

The Glennon Card’s widespread success can be attributed, in part, to the way it helps everyone involved: the children’s hospital, card users and participating merchants who offer discounts and get people in their stores just in time for the beginning of holiday shopping. And shoppers can get sweet deals on more than just merchandise. Included in the participant list are 36 restaurants and a variety of spas and salons. The best part: the $50 card price ensures everyone can participate. “It’s a great community builder,” Davies says. “Not everybody can attend an expensive charity event, but nearly everybody can spend $50. People from all walks of life can be a part of this.”

When trendy boutique Laurie Solet was approached to participate, it was an easy, ‘Yes, please,’ says Laura McDonald, manager/buyer at the Town & Country location. Laurie Solet has been part of the program every year since.

The clothing and accessories boutique not only honors the discount card, but also sells it at both its Town & Country and Clayton locations. “The first year, when organizers approached us to be part of it, we saw it as a fantastic way to give back to the community and support small business as well,” McDonald says. “We didn’t know what to expect since it was a new program. Whatever the outcome, we knew that Cardinal Glennon has a huge impact on the St. Louis area, and that the money was going to a good cause.” Additionally, it brings people into stores where they may not normally shop, or better yet, diverts money from online sales to our local economy.

The outcome couldn’t have been better, and the discount shopping program continues to grow every year. The concept is simple: Customers buy the Glennon Card for $50 online or at local businesses like Laurie Solet, and it entitles them to a 20 percent discount on regularly priced merchandise Oct. 23 through Nov. 1 at more than 300 participating retailers. What makes buying the card even better, McDonald notes, is that 100 percent of the money goes directly to helping children at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, making your $50 totally deductible.

“We just got the numbers of how much Laurie Solet has raised since the program started, and we were blown away that our store alone has donated more than $10,000 through card sales,” she says.

“You can only imagine how much is actually being raised with the number of businesses involved.”

In 2014, it is reported that 3,200 Glennon Cards were sold, and more than $180,000 was raised through card sales and sponsor support. The program is run by the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and the Glennon Guild, a 300-member women’s organization. “The women with the Guild who are working on this are so committed,” McDonald says. “You can tell it’s very near and dear to their hearts.”

She says it’s a great opportunity for people to give back and get some early holiday shopping done—at a discount. “Sometimes people want to help but just don’t know where to turn,” she says.

“This offers a perfect way to support your neighbors, and it creates a really positive energy. It’s a circle: You give some, you get some.” McDonald says the demand is so great, they have to make sure someone is handling the phones the day the cards go on sale because customers are so eager.

“Everyone gets excited about giving back,” she says.

For an early bird shopping experience, Laurie Solet will host a pre-sale Sip ‘n Shop event from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 19 at both locations. “We’ll have wine and little treats, and customers can use their Glennon Card early that one night at Laurie Solet before the two-week period begins,” McDonald says. Some other stores also have similar events.

She says the store will continue to participate in this cause. “Every year, there are more and more people who buy the Glennon Card and use it,” she notes. “The word is spreading, and people understand what a good deal it is!”

Counted among 10-year-old Vivien Kozeny’s best friends is Dr. Saadeh Al-Jureidini, a pediatric cardiologist at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Known by his young patients as Dr. J., the doctor might be an unusual choice for a young girl’s best friend, but Vivien has known him practically her whole life—in fact, he helped saved her life.

Vivien was born with atrial septal defect, a hole in her heart, that caused her to develop arrhythmia. “Most of the time, the holes close on their own, but with how large Vivien’s was, they knew that wouldn’t happen,” says Shannon Kozeny, Vivien’s mom.

Her condition was discovered at the newborn’s one-month checkup, when her pediatrician heard something odd. “He was associated with Cardinal Glennon and recommended Dr. J.,” Kozeny says. “We instantly fell in love with the hospital and the nurses, and Dr. J. especially. He’s like a family member to us now.”

When Vivien was 4, doctors attempted to patch the hole, which caused her issues to worsen. “At that point, Vivien spiraled a bit; her resting heart rate was in the 170s, which is insane,” Kozeny says. The doctors tried to correct the rhythm issues with medication. But that didn’t work either, so in 2012, the youngster underwent two cardiac ablations and open heart surgery to remove the patch and vivien with dr. j. replace it with a membrane. “Dr. Burt Bromberg, who does cardiac ablations with Dr. J., said ‘I want to go in again and I’m not coming out until it’s fixed,’” Kozeny recalls. “Dr. J. talked to people all over the world about Vivien, trying to find alternatives. They were making every effort they could not to have to open her up. They don’t give up easily.”

The surgery took two hours longer than predicted, but it was a success. This summer, for the first time in her life, Vivien learned that she is 100 percent healed. Cardinal Glennon made the 10-year-long experience easier, she says. “The doctors and nurses are great; they’re fun and loving and care about me a lot,” Vivien says. “Dr. J. has always been really nice to me, and he saved my life.”

It’s not just doctors and nurses Vivien now counts among her friends. Also on that list is former Cardinals player David Freese, who first met Vivien on a visit to the hospital. “David is always nice to me no matter what happens, and we’re good friends,” Vivien says. The pair immediately hit it off, her mother says. “They tweet each other and text sometimes, and he’s bought Girl Scout cookies from her.”

Although the Kozenys have developed close relationships with the Cardinal Glennon team over the years, they’re relieved to be limiting their visits to annual checkups. “I can’t thank them enough for everything they do,” Kozeny says. “After the surgery, Vivien was able to act like a normal kid. She said, ‘I’ve never felt this good.’ To hear that was amazing.”

cardinal glennon lobby

by becky mollenkamp

Each year, more than 200,000 sick and injured children from St. Louis and around the nation receive treatment at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. “We are known for exceptional care and for providing a warm and executive director Sandy Koller loving environment,” says Sandy Koller, executive director of the SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, which raises funds to support the doctors, nurses and trained specialists at the hospital.

One of the foundation’s annual fundraising efforts, led by volunteers with the Glennon Guild, is a discount shopping card.

Now in its fifth year, the $50 Glennon Card entitles cardholders to a 20 percent discount at 325 participating stores, salons and restaurants. Thanks to the generosity of presenting sponsor Drury Hotels and participating vendors, Koller says all proceeds from the card go directly to supporting Cardinal Glennon’s stateof-the-art facilities, treatment centers and programs.

At the end of the year, the foundation determines how to use the funds from the Glennon Card. “The hospital has some very immediate needs and, depending on the amount we raise, we help by funding a particular program, project or equipment,” Koller says. Since its inception in 2011, the program has raised nearly $600,000. Last year, a portion of the proceeds were used to provide advanced, minimally invasive scopes for children undergoing ear, nose and throat procedures, general or orthopedic surgeries, urological interventions and pulmonary procedures.

“At Cardinal Glennon, we treat every child, regardless of the financial circumstances of their family, and with these scopes we’re able to contribute to many areas of the hospital that impact the lives of so many kids.”

In addition to state-of-the-art scopes, the Glennon Card has benefited the following projects over the years:

Cardinal Glennon’s Transport Team tends to a patient.

Transport Team The hospital’s transport helicopter, which operates under the name ‘Cardinal Glennon Air,’ ensures quick delivery of critically ill or injured children to the hospital. The team, composed of nurses and respiratory therapists trained in emergency transportation who are available 24-7, also travels with patients by ambulance and airplane. Recently, the transport team formed a collaboration with the Marion County ambulance district to provide around-the-clock transport services for critically ill newborns and pediatric patients in northeast Missouri and west central Illinois. Glennon Card has funded equipment, such as isolettes for infants, that keep children safe during transport.

ECMO Equipment Short for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, ECMO oxygenates and removes carbon dioxide from the blood.

Glennon Card helps provide this lifesaving heart and lung equipment to patients whose cardiac and/or respiratory function is compromised. The machine gives the body time to rest and recover with less ongoing damage. “Having the most up-to-date equipment is very important to Cardinal Glennon,” Koller says.

“Not every children’s hospital has ECMO. We are able to treat the sickest children here because we have that equipment.” She notes doctors at Cardinal Glennon were the first west of the Mississippi River to use the equipment, in 1984.

Lobby and Atrium Cardinal Glennon believes visiting a hospital shouldn’t be scary, Koller says. It is continually updating its atrium, lobby and waiting areas to make them as non-threatening, peaceful and fun as possible. Glennon Card dollars have helped finance a 28-foot interactive submarine (a bus and steamboat are coming soon), plus toys and games, to entertain patients and their siblings. The money also is used to make sure the furniture in these areas is comfortable. “Patients and their siblings and parents can be here for hours or days,” Koller says. “We want to create an atmosphere that is welcoming and playful so they can relax when dealing with a difficult time.”

[ remembering a friend] The Cardinal Glennon family lost an important member last month when Cindy Brooks died unexpectedly at age 54.

9810 Clayton Road 314.997.6161 pinkmagnoliashop.com

Cindy joined the Glennon Guild in 1998 and served as its president from 2011 to 2013. When she began, the Guild raised about $60,000 each year. During her tenure, she also helped launch the Glennon Card fundraising program, which has raised nearly $600,000.

“Cindy was the perfect example of grace under pressure,” says Brigette McMillin, Glennon Card co-chair. “She never took life too seriously. In all of her text, phone or email messages, there was always something witty or clever. She truly lived her life in service to others, and beyond her loving family and friends, her true passion was serving the children of Cardinal Glennon.”

Cindy also was actively engaged in her children’s schools—the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Saint Charles, Saint Louis University High School and St. Joseph’s Academy. She is survived by her husband, John Brooks, daughter Caroline, and sons Peter, Mark and Robert.

reaching Out award winner

it’s your birthday inc.

To create fun and memorable birthday experiences for children ages 5 through 12 who live in domestic violence or homeless shelters.

meet Rolanda Robinson

of Florissant | Founder/Volunteer

by karyn meyer Q| When did you start this organization?

A| It officially launched in September 2014.

Q| What made you interested in this particular cause?

A| I was volunteering several years ago with Our Fathers House, feeding the homeless at the Emmanuel

House shelter. I noticed all these kids running around and asked the executive director what he did for them on their birthdays. I have always been very fortunate to have great birthdays and I still celebrate like crazy! He said they didn’t have the funding or the resources to do anything, so I started throwing parties once a month at the shelter for kids who had a birthday that month. The shelter closed several years ago. Fast forward to last year, when I was trying to figure out a way to give back to the community.

I remembered those parties and how the kids were so excited to have a couple hours where they could forget about where they were living. They would always run out to my car and scream, “The birthday lady is here!” I decided to try doing the same thing and started with a pilot to see if it would work. It was successful, so I filed for the 501(c)3 designation and got my official name.

Q| What kind of volunteer work are you involved with?

A| Currently, we are in nine shelters, domestic and homeless, and 11 schools. We do three different

types of parties. The first is hosting a party at a shelter, usually once a month, for about an hour. We have volunteers who offer to perform, like a great guy who makes amazing balloon creations. Or we’ll do a game or activity. I’m very conscious about anything we make because of the kids’ living conditions, so we might decorate pillowcases or a picture frame. And we always have goodie bags and cake and ice cream! Second, we do ‘birthday in a box’ for those shelters worried about confidentiality. I send program managers a checklist asking what items they want in the box so families can host a more private event. We fill boxes with decorations and a gift card to get cake and drinks. The third option is a classroom party at the child’s school. We ask school districts to give us a list of kids living in shelters, and we drop off cupcakes for them to bring to class on their birthday. And Maxine Clark of Build-A-Bear donates a bear to every birthday child.

Oftentimes the moms really want to do something but just can’t. They are in survival mode, and I want to take this burden off of them. The first few parties, I think I cried more than the moms!

Q| If you could do anything for the organization, what would it be?

A| More funding and donations. I’m a one-woman show and everything is based on

private donations. A few companies have given me grants, businesses donate items, and I’ve had friends host party drives where guests bring items from the party wish list on the website. Nothing is too expensive and, except for the cake, it all can be found at the dollar store! I want to be able to give parties without worrying about how I’ll pay for everything. I recently lost my job, but the organization keeps growing.

I just got calls from another school district and more shelters asking me to help. The word is out, and I’m not going to say no. I do have volunteers at the parties who help decorate, clean up and play with the kids, but I do everything behind the scenes. I’m exhausted and don’t know when I’ll sleep again, but I’m having so much fun!

It’s Your Birthday Inc. applauds its sponsors for their involvement.

In the Words of volunteer Angela Rhone: “Hosting a birthday celebration for your child during a very difficult time in life is almost impossible to think of for many parents. A celebration sponsored by It’s Your Birthday makes this task easier. There is no better reason to smile than for your own birthday, and thanks to Rolanda, children in shelters across St. Louis are smiling again. The impact of this service on our community has been great!”

A: Although it’s difficult to assess your situation without a clearer understanding of your work dynamics and what your colleague may be doing to receive such plum assignments and responsibilities, we all know someone whose career seems charmed. Usually, it’s no accident.

Successful people put themselves in the crosshairs of fortune and seek out new opportunities. They’re always pushing their comfort zones and finding ways to creatively solve problems and bring a fresh perspective and focus to a troubled situation. They know how to remain humble yet keep a high profile. They are collaborators who engage and inspire colleagues not only to achieve but also to exceed business goals and objectives. If you want to step up your corporate ladder, consider creating a plan for getting there that may include additional training to help guide you to take on more leadership. If your colleague is the kind of manager you admire, ask to meet for coffee and see if he/she might be willing to share some insight about how you might go about pursuing your career path. In the meantime, when there’s an opportunity you feel sure you can handle, grab it. If there’s a problem, fix it. Being brave in business is knowing where you want to go and having a plan to get you there. Taking that next step and then another to reach up to that next rung in the ‘ladder of success’ is the key.

Q: I’m in the process of establishing a business partnership

with someone I thought was a good fit. Recently, she’s scheduled a series of last-minute meetings to discuss client opportunities (none of which panned out). I was happy to rearrange my schedule the first time, but by the third time—which she unexpectedly cancelled—well, let’s say, I could use some advice.

— Having second thoughts

A: Although there are times when being spontaneous can bring

unexpected business to one’s door, a steady diet of unexpected (and unproductive) ‘spontaneous meetings’ becomes less inviting and downright rude. I can’t imagine forming a business partnership with someone whom I didn’t consider reliable or respectful. That said, I’m not privy to her other outstanding skill sets.

You might want to put a hold on that partnership until you’re convinced that this person is a good fit. If she continues to display this thoughtless, disruptive behavior, consider how she will treat your current/future clients. Kenny Rogers said it best: You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em. Know when to fold ‘em. Know when to walk away. And know when to run.

Lisa Perry by karyn meyer

New York City-based fashion designer Lisa Perry still describes herself as a Midwest girl. Born and raised in Chicago, she always planned to return home. But after graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology, she became enthralled with NYC, met her husband and now produces a highly successful clothing and accessories line that is a nod to her artistic upbringing and love of all things vintage.

We spoke with the former Project Runway guest judge before her arrival in St. Louis, where she will serve as a juror for the Saint Louis Fashion Fund Caleres Emerging Designer Award Nov. 4 and attend an intimate trunk show of her fall collection.

T&S | Tell me your background in the design world. lp | My family is in the textile business, so I grew up knowing and loving fabrics, fashion and art. I

didn’t want to look like everybody else. I was never into trends and wanted to have my own voice.

T&S | Did you get a job in fashion right away? lp | No, I did something completely unconnected. I was a fundraiser in Democratic politics.

Starting in 1998, I worked for Hillary Clinton behind the scenes to get her elected to the Senate, and I still work to support her today.

T&S | How did you start designing clothes? lp | It happened organically. When artist/designer Lisa Eisner saw me in some Courrèges pieces I

had bought in Paris, she introduced me to vintage Courrèges at a boutique in Beverly Hills. I started collecting vintage clothing, and that’s all I wore for 10 years, mostly clothing from the ‘60s, which was clean, modern and minimalist. People always commented that they loved my look, and since they couldn’t get the same items, I decided to create clothing based on my style.

T&S | What was your big break? lp | Eight years ago I showed my first sample pieces to my good friend Jeffrey Kalinsky, who runs

the designer clothing store Jeffrey in New York City and Atlanta. He wanted to buy the collection, but I told him I was just doing it for friends. He insisted that he launch it at his stores. That’s how people discovered me. I was exclusive to him for a couple seasons, then we opened distribution to other stores. Now I have stores in NYC and East Hampton, and we sell at Barney’s, small upscale boutiques nationwide and online at ShopBop.

T&S | You also have some home decor and accessories? lp | We do things like cosmetic bags, duffel bags and pouches. I love home design, and we are

trying to incorporate more of it into the brand.

T&S | What is your advice to women wanting to follow the latest trends? lp | Personal style is about feeling comfortable when you walk out the door. An article in The New

York Times recently called burgundy the new navy, but if it doesn’t look good or feel right, don’t buy it!

T&S | What is your connection to the Saint Louis Fashion Fund? lp | Susan Sherman (board chair) reached out to me through a mutual connection, and I couldn’t

say no to her Midwest charm and warmth! It’s great she’s bringing more awareness to the Midwest, where there is so much untapped talent. And I love that I’ll get to meet the St. Louis customer and introduce more people to the brand.

T&S | Have you worked with up-and-coming artists before? lp | At FIT, I worked with students for an entire class and saw things come to life, from a sketch to

the finished garment; it’s such an interesting process!

For an invitation to the Lisa Perry trunk show, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 3, please contact Susan Sherman at sdssk@aol.com.

Ten percent of sales will benefit Saint Louis Fashion Fund.

hope [offer concordance Academy of Leadership

John Robinson and Danny Ludeman

by becky mollenkamp When he was 17 years old, John Robinson was senior class president,

treatment, services and research to reduce the cycle of incarceration and have the greatest impact on reducing crime in the St. Louis area, Ludeman says. The Institute, led by Dr. Carrie Pettus-Davis, will monitor the Academy’s program for five years and compare its results against a control group receiving different services. “The goal is to show that we can reduce recidivism by one-third,” Ludeman says. “Then we can take our integrated, holistic program to other cities in Missouri, and eventually nationally.”

The first three years of the Academy’s work has already been funded through a mix of public and private donations. To finance a fourth year, the organization is holding its inaugural Gateway Gala Nov. 20 at The Ritz-Carlton. Gen. Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) will deliver a keynote speech, and White House correspondent Ann Compton will serve as emcee. “The second purpose of the gala is to raise visibility about the problem of mass incarceration,” Ludeman notes. “This is the third greatest social issue our nation faces, after poverty and disease.” One-third of Missouri’s homeless are exoffenders, Ludeman says, and children with an incarcerated parent have a 70 percent chance of ending up in prison, too. “What we’re trying to do is truly get at the root cause of the issue.”

The strategy worked for John Robinson, who owns Gateway Cremation and Funeral Services in downtown St. Louis. “Being an entrepreneur is challenging, but I’d rather have these challenges than the challenges of incarceration and unemployment,” he says.

Robinson is also co-chair of Concordance Academy’s alumni board, helping fellow former prisoners find hope. “When you’re an ex-felon, you’re the lowest of the low in society,” he says. It takes a very special person to help an outcast. Everybody may not be incarcerated for their mistakes, but everybody makes them. And everybody deserves a second chance.”

nothing ordinary

an honor student and captain of his football team. One night, he picked up a friend who then shot and killed someone while they were stopped at a red light. Although he wasn’t the shooter, Robinson was sentenced to 33 years in prison for his role in the crime, and he served 13. Afraid he’d end up among the 77 percent of prisoners re-arrested within five years of their release, Robinson asked Project COPE for help reintegrating into society. Thanks to the organization’s assistance with education, employment and housing, Robinson is now married with two children and owns a business. “When you have to fend for yourself, you tend to repeat your crime and bring harm to your community all over again,” he says. “We need to give ex-felons a second chance instead of casting them out.”

Project COPE recently changed its name to Concordance Academy of Leadership, and will greatly expand its services in the coming year. Its new 18-month program helps those leaving the prison system by offering services proven to reduce recidivism.

Participants receive a personalized mix of cognitive therapy, education, substance abuse and mental health treatment, and housing and employment assistance. A network of individuals also provides emotional and social support. “We don’t think it’s enough just to give therapy and services,” says Danny Ludeman, the Academy’s CEO. “Like all of us, these individuals need people who care about them and accept them for who they are, not who they should be.”

Concordance Academy is working with the Concordance Institute for Advancing Social Justice at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University. This first-of-its-kind public, private and academic partnership combines

THE PRICES

$8 to $18 starters $16 to $30 entrees

THE FAVORITES

Beignets, Sea Bass, Chicken Wings, Seared Diver Scallops, Flatbread

An inviting patio and warm decor are the first things to notice here. The menu is as small as the place, about a dozen tables inside and the same number out, which lends itself to a cozy dining experience (although it’s quite noisy).

Following the doctrine that the quality of what goes into food directly influences the quality of what comes out, every dish emphasizes local provisions, like Midwest lamb, Crown Candy chocolates and Buttonwood Farms chicken. Chef-owner Ben McArthur, who has worked with chefs around town, has launched this place of his own, calling it ‘an American kitchen’ and creating epicurean twists on dishes like flatbread, meatloaf and chicken wings. Of the five entrees, one is a daily Missouri beef special, another a Blue Plate special and a third is Fish of the Day, which reinforces the farm-to-table orientation.

The liberal use of assorted seasonal veggies works much in the favor of the dishes. In fact, based on what we sampled, they often stole the show. Like the sautéed wild greens that accompanied my strip steak (from Three Springs Farm) and the wild mushroom demi-glace on top of the steak, which offered large slivers of woody goodness in a densely flavored brown

sauce. These elements made the dish. Same for the corn and English peas (from Todd Geisert Farms) that accompanied the seared scallop entree. Each morsel was like a little treasure.

As a starter, the Flatbread ($12) was quite good. It had the requisite thin, crisp, artisan crust and a creative mix of light toppings: goat cheese, red onion slivers, arugula pesto, a few bits of smoked Buttonwood Farms chicken and a sprinkling of delicate sprouts. The melted cheese provided creaminess, and the pesto added a savory element without being overpowering, as pesto often can be. The chicken gave it some heft, and it was altogether a satisfying opener.

Another appetizer, Buttonwood Farms Chicken Wings ($10), was less subtle but still satisfying with inherent meatiness and a sticky, spicy glaze that was sweet and tangy. It was a generous portion and came with creamy white sauce.

My favorite entree by far is a standard on the menu, Cast-Iron Skillet Seared Diver Scallops ($24). That’s a lot of detail in the name, but in this case, it’s merited because it tells you just how beautifully browned these mollusks were—on all sides. Buttery and lightly crisped,

the jumbo scallops were delicious. Each had a light dollop of pea shoot pesto, and they sat in a creamy, sweet ‘smoked corn bisque’ that tasted faintly of condensed milk. Best of all, the dish was dotted with corn kernels, English peas and rich confit potato wedges.

The beef Daily Cut, strip steak ($30), sampled on one occasion was, alas, exceedingly tough. The accompanying sautéed wild greens and garlic mashed potatoes and wild mushroom demi-glace were stellar, but that didn’t make up for the disappointing steak. The Fish of the Day, twice, was offered with “corn succotash and tomato ham hock broth.” Once it was Sea Bass ($26), the other night it was cornmeal-encrusted Black Grouper ($24), both of which were excellent, clean and fresh fish. The ham hock broth was super smoky, though, and too strong for my taste. As with the other veggies here, the corn succotash and accompanying potatoes were delicious.

Do not pass up Jordan’s Beignets ($9). The fluffy, eggy puffs will melt in your mouth. They were liberally coated with powdered sugar and served with delicious blueberry marmalade and lemon curd, a classic and inspired flavor pairing.

LEISURE

by jorie taylor

happy [hour

When I first moved to St Louis, I bought an elderly

woman’s condo at a good price with the condition that I move her things out. Turns out, she was a foodie. I found a treasure trove: vintage Le Creuset cookware, a VitaPrep blender, Bavarian tea sets and hundreds of recipes. Each one began with: Get a nice bottle of wine and pour yourself a glass.

The thing that struck me was the sheer enjoyment she took in cooking. To pour oneself a glass of wine says the process is a celebration, a passion, fun. One of her recipes is a vegetable stew that calls for chardonnay. So, what to use? Most chefs will tell you the same thing: Cook with wine good enough to drink. My first step was to decide how much oak would be appropriate in the wine, and my quick answer was little or none. The next question was regarding acidity; I wanted a lot in the wine because almost no other ingredients would add it.

I settled on a nice Macon-Villages level chardonnay from Chartron et Trebuchet: Bright green apple and a bracing streak of lemon zest, with just a touch of roundness from slight oak, and all at less than $17 retail.

Sicario

» This is an engrossing look at the Mexican

drug trade and how the U.S. either does or ‘should’ respond to it. We never quite know if the events are true, but it brings a chilling perspective to the issue. Emily Blunt is an FBI agent in Phoenix recruited, ostensibly for her expertise in Mexican hostage smuggling, into a super-secret group operating to curb cartel violence in Arizona. Much of the action takes place in Juarez, the notoriously violent border town. The cinematography is engrossing, as the film is shot in a hyper-realism that makes you feel like you are there, not merely an observer.

Blunt’s character, Kate, is shocked by the group’s unorthodox methods, but you’re left to wonder whether that’s what it takes to ‘win’ this war.

The shady character of Alejandro, ‘a special prosecutor from Colombia,’ is brilliantly played

by Benicio del Toro. CIA spook Matt Graver, the tactical leader, is portrayed by Josh Brolin.

‘Sicario,’ btw, means ‘hit man.’

Breast radiologists Drs. Christina Doherty and Debbie Bennett

cover story

[rel y on experts SLUCare physician group by becky mollenkamp

You get a mammogram. A few weeks later, a letter arrives in the mail saying you have dense breasts and could be at a higher risk for breast cancer. It sounds terrifying, but there’s no need to panic, says SLUCare breast radiologist Dr. Debbie Bennett. “About half of all women have dense breasts. It’s not a disease, and it’s not abnormal. It’s how half the population is normally made.”

Until recently, most women had never heard of dense breasts. The issue has gained attention, however, as dozens of states, including Missouri, have passed laws that require mammography providers to notify women who have dense breast tissue. Dense breasts have a higher percentage of glandular tissue than fatty tissue, and the composition is impossible to diagnose visually or by touch, Bennett says. The only accurate assessment is mammogram.

Studies show that dense tissues increase the risk of a woman getting breast cancer over her lifetime “by about 1.2 times, or as much as two times for really dense breasts, which only 2 percent of women have,” Bennett says. Glandular tissue also makes it more difficult for a radiologist to detect tumors in a regular mammogram. The statistics are scary, but Bennett cautions that most women have no need for increased alarm. “I think it’s useful to know if you have dense breasts, but I don’t think it’s useful for most people to worry about it.”

Despite recent awareness of breast density, screening advice remains largely unchanged, Bennett says. Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam every three years, and every year by age 40. After age 40, women should also have a mammogram every year for as long as they are in good health. Screening may start earlier for women who are at high risk for breast cancer, including those with strong family history of the disease, who have a known BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, and those who’ve had several benign breast biopsies.”

The upside of so much focus being placed on dense breasts, Bennett says, is increased discussions between patients and doctors about tailored screenings, such as 3-D mammograms.

“They find more cancers than regular mammograms,” she says. “There’s great benefit for women with dense breasts, because those are the women in whom it’s harder to find breast cancer on regular mammograms.”

Understanding the common nature of dense breasts can allow women to breathe a little easier when their post-mammogram letter shows up, Bennett says. They may find further solace, she says, in having their mammograms read by a breast specialist, who is “much more likely to notice subtle changes that could be the first signs of breast cancer,” she says. “They also are really passionate about breast cancer, so if you have to come back in for more pictures or a biopsy, you get to talk to someone who really cares about your well-being and your breast health.”

breast cancer

by Rick Stoff

It's a subject about which so much has been written and reported, yet it still strikes fear in the hearts of all who hear it: breast cancer. The good news is, advances in treatment and management of the disease have changed the landscape for patients. The bad news is, women, and men, are still afflicted with breast cancer at alarming rates.

Mammogram Message For a handful of women, the routine annual mammogram brings a heart-fluttering moment: a letter asking the woman to return for a diagnostic mammogram. What does it mean?

Screening vs. Diagnostic

“The screening mammogram is a quick study to determine if there is a mass present or any new findings compared to an old mammogram,” says Dr. John W. Finnie, a hematologistoncologist at Mercy Clinic and David C. Pratt Cancer Center.

“Frequently that could mean we want to take a closer look and make sure it is not something we need to biopsy.”

“Of 1,000 women who undergo a screening mammogram, we might recall 8 to 10 percent to come back,” says Dr. Geoffrey S. Hamill, medical director of Missouri Baptist Breast HealthCare Center. “Of those patients, we may do a biopsy on 1 or 2 percent.”

The Early Bird Catches the Cancer

Early detection is an important tool against cancer, which by definition consists of abnormally fast-growing cells. Nearly 232,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women this year, according to American Cancer Society estimates. About 40,000 will die from the disease, even though the incidence of breast cancer has been falling since 2000, which the Society attributes to declining use of hormone therapy after menopause.

Mammograms screen for abnormalities, although oftentimes women are uncertain about what those entail. “One thing we look for is calcifications—little flecks of calcium,” Finnie says. “The patterns of the calcium deposits can sometimes point toward a diagnosis of malignant or benign.” Calcifications typically result from hormone stimulation of breast tissue over many years, Hamill explains. “The red flags we look for in a mammogram are distortions or asymmetries in the breast tissue,” he says. “If we see a density that has an irregular margin, that is a worrisome finding.”

Findings like these in the screening mammogram may prompt that letter seeking the more detailed diagnostic mammogram, Finnie says. “We will do more imaging, and we might do an ultrasound.” If a benign diagnosis can’t be given after more imaging, “we will recommend a biopsy just for clarification,” Hamill adds. “At the extreme, a lump may reflect a developing cancer.”

Second Opinion?

Rita Wilson, wife of actor Tom Hanks, underwent a double mastectomy earlier this year after her cancer was diagnosed during a second exam that followed an initial negative diagnosis.

“A second opinion is critical to your health,” she advised women in a magazine interview. “You have nothing to lose if both opinions match up for the good, and everything to gain if something that was missed is found, which does happen.”

So should women routinely seek second opinions? “We know outcomes are better in higher-volume centers, where people who read more mammograms are going to be better able to discern a confident assignment of risk,” Finnie says. In other words, where you get your mammogram can have an impact on the accuracy of the findings.

targeted therapy Today, women don’t have to worry that the treatment for breast cancer might be worse for them than the breast cancer itself. Advancements like targeted therapies and hormone-blocking pills are helping patients avoid the discomfort of whole-body treatments like chemotherapy.

Fear Factor

“Targeted therapies are much better tolerated and a lot less scary than standard chemotherapy,” says Dr. Theresa Schwartz of SLUCare Physician Group. “The nice part about it for both patient and clinician is knowing that it is working directly against the cancer, unlike a full-body medication, which targets a lot of other cells.”

Dr. Cynthia X. Ma of Washington University School of Medicine agrees. “Non-targeted therapy such as chemotherapy can affect normal cells as well as cancer cells and be more toxic,” she says.

grows out of control and makes more cancer cells. Because chemo drugs are very strong, they kill any cell that’s growing fast, even if it’s not a cancer cell. That is one downside to chemotherapy: sometimes healthy cells that grow quickly can be damaged.

In recent years, scientists have found medications that disrupt factors found only in specific cancer cells. “The estrogen receptor and HER2 are known targets for breast cancer, so we always classify our breast cancers as estrogen-receptor-positive or –negative and HER2-positive or –negative,” Ma explains.

In a Nutshell

Block Busters

Chemotherapy has been used to treat cancer since the ‘50s, and about 100 chemotherapy drugs now are in use, according to the American Cancer Society. Cancer starts when something changes in a normal cell, the Society’s patient handbook explains. This cancer cell then

“The most common targeted therapies are hormone-blocking or estrogen-receptorblocking pills,” Schwartz says. “They work in one of two ways. One blocks the receptors where estrogen acts, and the other keeps your body from making estrogen.”

These therapies have revolutionized treatment for breast cancers responsive to estrogen or hormones, which, Schwartz says, account for about 80 percent of patients.

“Taking these pills for five years will reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence by 40 to 50 percent,” she explains.

And the blockers are a better treatment for women with slow-growing breast cancers for another reason. “If you have a slow-growing tumor, chemotherapy doesn’t do anything for it,” Schwartz says. “Yet 20 years ago, these women would have been recommended for standard chemotherapy, which may not have helped them at all.”

Hormone-blocking medications can be taken for extended lengths of time. “Women are on them for at least five years, and the research is saying 10 years is probably better,” Schwartz adds. “It is well-tolerated and continues to give women cancer-recurrence blocking. It has fewer side effects and more manageable side effects than chemotherapy.”

What is Her2?

Cells in about one of five breast cancers hold too much of a growth-promoting protein called HER2. “HER2 refers to cancers that have the HER2 gene amplified, which is not happening in normal tissue or normal cells,” Ma says. “It is a growth factor receptor that can trigger cell growth and drive cell proliferation.”

Still newer drugs block cell proteins called CDK4 and CDK6, for ‘cyclin-dependent kinase.’

By blocking these proteins, the drugs interrupt the cell division process that produces new cancer cells.

A HER2 medication sometimes is prescribed for women who will undergo surgical tumor removal, Schwartz says. “It is tremendously effective. We are seeing that nearly 50 percent of those women have their disease completely gone at the time of operation.”

Outlook & Outcomes Optimism may not improve the odds of a successful breast cancer treatment, but it doesn’t hurt, either. For one thing, a positive attitude can make the challenges more tolerable; it also makes life easier on family members, who may themselves be emotionally challenged by a patient’s cancer diagnosis.

Power of Positive

“People have tried to study this and found no real clear evidence that having a positive or negative attitude will make a difference,” says Dr. Stephanie Schnepp, a surgeon for SSM Breast Care at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital. “But how do you measure attitude?

Some people can go through very stressful life events and take them in stride. For others, minor stresses can be catastrophic.”

Most women who receive a breast cancer diagnosis have reason to remain hopeful, says Teresa Deshields, a psychologist and manager of Siteman Counseling Service at Siteman Cancer Center. “The news keeps getting better and better in the world of oncology.”

Breast cancer is a very emotional diagnosis for many, notes Schnepp. “Some women are

very calm because they know people who are many years out from treatment and have done well. Others are more upset because they know friends who have had a rougher experience.”

Find Distractions

Distraction is among the best means of dealing with the waiting periods between diagnostic exams and cancer treatments, Deshields says. “Keep yourself busy with whatever helps time pass. You can’t make it come faster.” She also advises thinking about previous challenges that were well-handled.

“You don’t get too far in life without having been challenged. What worked for you before— gathering information, praying, exercising?”

Schnepp adds, “A lot of people find exercise, yoga and meditation helpful.”

Lean on Me

Encourage friends and family to get onboard during the trying times, Schnepp says. “It is helpful to have support systems. Sometimes that means coming with you to appointments, helping with things around the house, cooking dinner, giving the kids rides. That is the best support a friend or family member can offer.”

Support groups and books can guide patients through the stressful times, Deshields adds. Counselors can assist in addressing specific issues, such as the fears of an MRI exam or loss of sleep, but some kind of support group can be invaluable, especially when you don’t want to put additional stress on family members. “It’s important to have a place to talk, a place to process what is going on, to talk about scary things,” she says.

Half Empty vs. Half Full

For patients who fear chemotherapy, it’s helpful to look at that glass as more than half full, Schnepp says. “That is the way I present it when people are upset about certain treatments,” she says. “ ‘It’s good that you are eligible for this treatment because that means we have another tool to fight the cancer,’” she tells them. “The option has helped many others with this type of cancer, I point out. We frame it in a way that gives them hope.”

The side effects of chemo are better controlled than they were in the past, she adds.

“There are nausea medicines that they didn’t have years ago,” she says. Chemotherapy also might be utilized differently these days. “It may be given before surgery to shrink a large tumor so we can do a smaller lumpectomy. There are so many options that weren’t available 15 years ago. The outcome is hopeful for most people.”

[+problem solved! ] Purse Pals by dorothy weiner | photo by bill barrett

No matter how small your purse is, there are just some items you can’t live without when you

leave the house. For me, that includes sunglasses, lip gloss and a makeup mirror. But every woman has her own checklist, especially when it comes to beauty products. That’s why we’ve gathered a few of our favorites that are both compact and cool.

Pur Cheek Stain

Sephora Mini Crystal Nail File

Elizabeth and James Solid Perfume Compact

Jane Iredale LipDrink Lip Balm

If there’s one thing you want to keep on, it’s your blush. That rosy glow brightens the entire face, and Pur has a product perfect for on-the-go. The blush tint-and-brush duo comes in pretty colors and stays on better than a powder (it’s an oil-based ‘stain’). Just dab on the color dispensed from one end and blend upward with the brush at the other.

There is no substitute for a nail file, and when your nail cracks or breaks, it’s code red. That’s when Sephora’s handy, durable crystal mini file is indispensible.

It’s small and comes in a sleek case that keeps the file safe and clean.

Handy and subtle, solid perfume compacts are perfect for the purse, where they can be reached and used unobtrusively when the urge strikes you. This one, peony-scented, is a blend of musk, peony and lily of the valley. The pretty gold and white case is a little heavy, but the sweet scent is worth the extra weight.

Especially with the cooler days upon us, keeping the lips soft and supple can be a challenge.

Jane Iredale’s lip balm is among the best we’ve tried, with avocado oil and carrot seed oil.

It’s also SPF 15 and comes in four shades, plus colorless.

Makeup After Facial Surgery by marylyn simpson Recovering from surgery is no easy

feat. And unlike procedures on your body, facial surgeries are more noticeable, so they require extra care and attention. Having an arsenal of tips, tricks and insider knowledge under your belt (or in this case, in your makeup bag) can cover up what you don’t want others to see—and prevent temporary or permanent scarring. Below are five steps to keep you beautiful throughout recovery.

Plastic Surgery

TALK

with Dr. William G. Hart, Jr.

Getting Ready for the Holidays FOR THOSE LOOKING to combat wrinkles and sagging skin without surgery, here are a few options that can improve the aging skin’s appearance:

Liquid Facelift is one non-surgical procedure that restores the three dimensional structure of the soft facial tissue fat pads and provides an instant beauty lift with no down time.

The procedure incorporates the recent and first ever FDA-approved filler indicated to increase volume in the facial shapes and curves, creating a more youthful look.

Patients can expect the natural restoration of these areas without the costs and downtime associated with surgery.

Two devices currently in use utilize radio-frequency and ultrasound energy. These machines heat the tissue, which stimulates collagen growth, and significantly improves skin laxity and reduces wrinkles.

THE TRENDIEST RADIO-FREQUENCY TECHNOLOGIES are Thermage, Bodytite and Fractora. All of these non-surgical approaches are 1 | Generally speaking, women can resume cosmetics

use one week after surgery. Depending on the nature of the surgery, scarring and discoloration are two of the most common imperfections.

Start your post-op makeup routine by using a foundation or concealer devoid of fragrance or alcohol. These ingredients can irritate the skin and delay healing. Stick with water-based or mineral products, as they’re easy to wipe off if skin becomes irritated.

Pro Tip: Make sure SPF is part of your beauty routine, as post-op skin is extremely vulnerable to sun exposure.

2 | Once you identify the color of your scars, choose a concealer the exact opposite color. This is where your freshman art class color wheel will come in handy. For instance, if your scar is red, choose a concealer that is green to cover it. This will create a camouflage effect, rather than turn your scar an unattractive shade of pink.

Pro Tip: If you have a keloid or raised scar, match the concealer to your skin tone. In this case, do not use red, green or purple concealers; they will only emphasize the scar.

3 | Use a powder puff to press the powder (that

matches your skin tone) over the concealer. Work the powder on top, and press it firmly over the scar. Your coverage will last much longer than dragging a large brush over your entire face.

4 | If your usual cosmetics don’t quite give you

the coverage you need, Jane Iredale makeup is specifically formulated to reduce the appearance of post-op facial imperfections.

Other mineral makeup brands like Bare Escentuals are great options thanks to their protective and effective ingredients, like iron oxides used to keep skin looking natural and titanium dioxide to protect sensitive skin.

no-downtime and no-pain solutions. Similar results can also be achieved by a popular ultrasound-style treatment named Ultherapy or various laser devices like Titan.

If you have any questions or other topics you’d like to know more about, email us at DrHart@HartMD.com.

5 | It’s important to remember that caring for your

post-op skin isn’t just about what you do to your skin, but what you don’t do. Avoid drying cleansers, sun exposure, extended periods of time in water, and irritating products that contain lavender or eucalyptus. All these factors can delay the healing process and leave you with severely irritated skin—a big no-no for vulnerable skin.

Former attorney Suzanne Woodard has always had a passion for interior design. After

practicing law for many years, she was ready to try something new. “I wanted to bring an alternative concept to the St. Louis market,” she says. “I had an idea for a store where anybody could come in and find beautiful, high-quality pieces for their home at an affordable price.”

As a senior manager and attorney at Macy’s for 15 years, Woodard feels at ease in the retail environment. She took a leap of faith and found a perfect space to open her store—a historic building on Brentwood Boulevard that once housed the old Brentwood Theater. The area has become something of a design hub in recent years, she says. She started buying furniture and home decor and opened The Refind Room in October 2012.

An alternative to traditional resale shops, The Refind Room buys and sells a carefully curated mix of vintage and modern pieces purchased from local families. Many of the items originated from well-known, quality manufacturers such as Baker, Henredon, Bernhardt, Maitland-Smith, Bauhaus and other high-end nameplates. Some of the store’s original midcentury pieces are stamped ‘Made in Denmark,’ an impressive provenance when it comes to this hot design category.

In addition to furniture, The Refind Room sells a wide range of artwork and home decor pieces— pretty much everything needed to design a great room. The continually changing inventory is always stylish and high quality, yet affordable, Woodard says. “With new pieces coming in daily, there’s something to suit everyone’s taste and budget.”

The store has quickly become a favorite of local interior designers, as well as of homeowners shopping for themselves, Woodard adds. That’s because the quality of older furniture is superior to much of what is available now, she says. And Woodard is determined to make The Refind Room a really fun way to shop.

“We wanted to create a different kind of store in the marketplace, one that offers unique items in a more personal setting than at chain stores,” she says. “We invite our customers to sit in, move and inspect every piece of furniture on our showroom floor. We want people to enjoy themselves here.”

Customers are ‘greeted’ warmly by The Refind Room’s two canine mascots —Teddy Freddy, a rescued Maltipoo who has a fan club of regular shoppers, and his pal Bandit, a Yorkie. As the store celebrates its third anniversary, it recently expanded, taking over the shop behind it to increase showroom space to about 4,000 square feet. This year, Woodard and her partner, Shawn Lipe, also rolled out a purchasing affiliate, The Refind Estate.

“We always envisioned having a buying side that performed like a community service,” Lipe says.

“We thought there was a need for someone to provide that buying option to people who are moving or downsizing. We purchase as much as we can of their high-quality pieces to sell in the store, and we even provide pick-up. This offers people a choice beyond the typical estate sale model. It’s an adventure, and we’re helping people at the same time.”

Dale Rohman, nationally renowned florist and former co-owner of George Waldbart Florist in Ladue, moved to New Town in St. Charles five years ago with pooch companion Dolly. He hasn’t looked back since: The community’s tight-knit, quaint vibe and his combination home/boutique shop provide the perfect backdrop for a contented life.

T&S | What prompted your move to New Town?

Dale Rohman | My wife Joan passed away about seven years ago.

Two years later, I decided I needed to make a change. I wanted a little boutique shop to keep me busy, and I wanted to be able to live upstairs.

I went around looking for places with my dog Dolly, who is the new lady in my life. The moment I drove into New Town, I said to Dolly, I think this is where we’re going to land. They had the kind of space I was looking for, and the rest is history.

T&S | What do you like about the community?

DR | Everything is within walking distance—I can walk to the post office, the deli and restaurants. And everybody knows everybody here. I walk Dolly twice a day, and everyone says, “Hi, Dolly” from across the road. It’s very homey and warm. At my age, what I’m looking for is an easy, relaxed lifestyle. It’s soothing out here, far from the the maddening crowd.

T&S | Tell me about your florist shop, The Second-Hand Rose.

DR | It’s a little boutique shop that sells secondhand, upscale merchandise. I still freelance as a florist, and here on the weekends we also sell fresh flowers. Upstairs is actually two apartments. I rent out one, and Dolly and I live in the other.

T&S | What do you like about your living space?

DR | It’s like a nice-fitting glove. It’s not a huge space, but it’s the perfect size for Dolly and me. It’s comfortable, warm and inviting.

T&S | Tell me about your home’s decor.

DR | I’m a really sentimental guy. I kept some pieces from my old home, special pieces that were my wife’s favorites. She and I collected antiques, so I kept those, as well as her collection of dark pewter. My wife is very much a presence in this space. She’s everywhere, and there’s a little story behind almost everything.

Opposite page from top: Rohman’s shop, The Second-Hand Rose; the functional kitchen This page, clockwise from top left: Rohman and Dolly; the decor features antiques; some of Rohman’s collectibles; the patio; one of New Town’s picturesque canals

T&S | Are the glass apples and apothecary jars special?

DR | Those are my treasures. The cabinet is an antique barber shop cabinet. The little apothecary jars I’ve picked up and collected over the years. The apples have a special story, too. When one of my daughters was a little kid, she would draw trees with apples in them, so that’s become a special thing between the two of us. There’s also frogs on the top shelf of that cabinet. I have seven grandchildren, and I told them all when they were very small that I used to be a frog until their grandmother kissed me and turned me into a handsome prince. Now my grandkids are between 13 and 25, but they still love that story, and they inundate me with frogs.

T&S | Where did you get your antiques?

DR | When I was first married, we did a lot of searching on Main Street in Old Town St. Charles. We also used to go to Troy, Missouri, and Moscow Mills—that’s where we found most of our things. That was more than 50 years ago, so those places were not so grown up, and you could find really nice pieces of furniture.

T&S | Your patio looks like a nice space.

Do you use it often?

DR | That used to be a parking space, but I turned it into a little patio. When I had my house in Chesterfield, I had a fabulous flower garden. I wanted someplace where I could have some pots in the garden and get my hands in the dirt.

Dolly and I often sit there and have a glass of wine and do a little reading.

One of my favorite design trends for fall is the use of wood planks on surfaces other than the floor. Using wood on a feature wall, or even a ceiling, is a great way to add interest and warmth to a space. Also, using a linear tile that looks like wood achieves the same effect in a bathroom or shower to create a fantastic, rustic-chic look.

The black velvet draperies add a feeling of sophistication to an otherwise casually decorated room, and the furnishings are oversized yet the perfect scale for the space.

The homeowner wanted to transform a narrow patio into a bright, inviting outdoor expansion. My design concept translated into a construction plan to achieve the results. A Versa-Lok retaining wall was extended four feet and the two foot landscape area became part of the beautiful travertine natural stone pavers. The result was a wider breadth. The architectural design of the horizontal cedar fence, soon to display a sophisticated rich stain, augmented the visual scope and gave a wall-like appearance. The travertine, from Semco Stone, with stunning color variations, created a pleasing mix with the brick on the house and the wood used for the fence. The unique French pattern of the varying sized stone pavers lightened up the expanse and once sealed will enhance the stone’s natural beauty even more. The addition of new furniture and a few urns and potted plants warmed the new outdoor room. I can’t wait till Spring to see all of the finishing touches.

My client had a large closet in their lower level that was used to store sports equipment when the kids were young and at home, Now empty nesters the space was no longer needed for storage. As part of the remodel of the space the closet was gutted and turned into a wine bar. Lower levels have become the new hub of the house. Many have T.V. areas, music rooms, game areas, or wine cellars. This client wanted an area for a wine bar but did not have the floor space to add it. But what they did have was an unused closet. It used to be filled with sports equipment from the kids activities. Now they are all grown and moved away so the closet is getting a second life as the new wine bar. It features areas for storage and for chilling wines, space for stemware and wine accessories.

No need to run upstairs while entertaining to get a new bottle of wine or find the bottle opener.

The acres upon acres of rolling hills and

the rustic home nestled among them beckon you to drop everything and just breathe. A weekend retreat for Sharon and Dale Fiehler for the past 10 years, StoneyCreek Ranch has served its purpose of creating memories and providing a peaceful getaway.

The couple always has had a main residence in St. Louis (he is a native St. Louisan, and she is from southern Illinois), and they purchased the 264 acres in Lonedell, just an hour drive from St. Louis, 11 years ago, after Dale retired as a partner at a CPA firm. He wanted to do something completely different—and the country beckoned. “Dale became caretaker of the land, and there was a cattle business already on the property, which our neighbor takes care of on a day-to-day basis,” Sharon Fiehler explains. “We built the house a year later, and it’s

been our weekend retreat and my sanity-saver ever since!”

Fiehler says she put her heart and soul into creating a home that reflects who they are as a couple. “We wanted it to resemble a Western ranch that blended influences of the Midwest and the mountains of the West,” she says. The woodwork, stone and vaulted ceilings with wood beams throughout the home’s 3,500 square feet accomplish her vision. “The see-through fireplace, which you can enjoy in the great room and the kitchen, is one of my favorite features,” Fiehler says. “I love serving dinner and eating it next to a fire. It’s very soothing and comforting.”

The large island often had couples gathered around helping Fiehler prepare one of her gourmet dinners, and countless parties have taken place on the property’s wide open spaces, which feature a stocked 10-acre lake, two barns and a large, covered porch. “Our youngest son got

married here a year ago, a friend puts on a great fireworks extravaganza for the Fourth of July on the lake, and I host a big fall festival every year,” Fiehler says. “Guests fish in the lake and hang out in the screened-in gazebo on the water’s edge with a beach. We built a fire pit in this huge rock we excavated from the lake to roast marshmallows, we do hayrides on the tractor, bob for apples, and the kids don’t want to leave the beautiful saltwater pool.”

If it all sounds idyllic, that’s because it is. “What makes the property really spectacular is you don’t see another home from anywhere on the grounds,” Fiehler says. “You are alone, and it’s just gorgeous every season.

We have the most special memories here.” As hard as it will be to leave their retreat, the couple is ready for their next adventure and plans to build a new summer house in the mountains.

homework] Dear Homework,

We know our home needs help, but we don’t know where to start. What do you think? We already know we will be removing the chimney.

Sincerely,

—Ready for a New Point of View

Dear Ready for a New Point of View,

After

Your home presents an interesting set of existing conditions typical of many suburban homes. To understand the issues, draw a line up the existing photograph, along the right side of the driveway, through the house. Now, cover the right and then the left side of the photograph. You will notice that the left side of the line is all concrete, siding and garage doors. The right side is all landscaping, architectural details and windows. Herein lies the problem.

Your house has two distinct character—the bland and the detailed; you need to blend the two together. As you see from the rendering, there is now more architectural detail on the left side of the ‘line.’ New garage doors, a gable window and a revised driveway blur the difference between the two sides. A landscaped island allows new shade trees to shield the view of the garage from initial view.

Additionally, a new large gable has been added above the front door. This helps balance the architecture of the right and left sides of the ‘line.’ The result of these modifications creates a more harmonious composition that welcomes the arriving guest with a balanced and attractive composition. Hope that helps.

A scary scene Greet your guests with a spooky porch tableau.

Hardware stores carry a wide selection of creepy lighting choices, such as flickering bulbs. Set out carved pumpkins, and consider turning your front yard into a small ‘graveyard.’

• Set the lighting low, and light candles. String fake spiderwebs and prop up a fake skeleton in a corner chair. Spray paint a few cheap vases black and fill them with dead branches.

Throw white sheets over some of the furniture to achieve that ‘abandoned house’ look.

• Set out plenty of pillows and blankets so guests can get cozy.

Tell everyone to come dressed in comfy clothing or pajamas.

Trick-or-treat For snacking, rent a popcorn machine (funcarnival.com).

Set it up with popcorn boxes (orientaltrading.com has dozens of designs), extra butter, and toppings like chili lime salt, black pepper Parmesan and white cheddar with rosemary so guests can customize.

• Serve boxes of movie theater candy—Red Vines, Junior Mints, M&M’s and Swedish Fish.

• For drinks, offer beer and wine, as well as some nonalcoholic options like iced tea and soda.

Make a big batch of Halloween-themed punch.

• Give each guest a bingo card with common horror movie cliches (the car won’t start, for example). Give the winner a mini bottle of bubbly and a movie theater gift card.

Flick picks A proper movie marathon requires at least three films— go for as long as you’d like (dare we suggest a 24-hour openhouse movie marathon party?!).

• Schedule breaks between films for guests to stretch their legs, use the restroom, refill drinks and get some fresh air.

• Select horror movies from different genres so you’re not watching multiple slasher films in a row. Mix classic suspense flick Rear Window with fun, corny Halloween and supernatural thriller Alien.

• Or make it a family-friendly affair with picks like Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, and Disney’s animated version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Wicked good eats Since guests mostly will be lounging around watching movies, keep the food simple.

Order pizza, and round out the offerings with finger food like chips and dip, crudites, spanakopita, a fruit tray, edamame and buffalo wings with blue cheese dip.
