from the editor's desk Did you know Nov. 3 was National Sandwich Day? A better question might be: do you care? Has anyone else noticed that a ridiculous amount of time during TV news programs is spent ‘reporting’ on commercial foods? I use air quotes because I can’t imagine how new Pop-Tarts flavors and Halloween frappuccinos at Starbucks slip past network executives to become newsworthy. Same for Olive Garden’s new Garden Pass and Burger King’s Halloween Whopper (a black bun with A-1 sauce that can be ordered with a Pumpkin Spice Oreo milk shake).

With all that goes on in the world—serious stuff like Syria and Donald Trump’s hair—I’m not sure why the airwaves feel they need to waste time on things like this. Maybe the newscasters are hungry? Or possibly they get a little over-exuberant when they taste all the culinary swag. (Yes, sample foods often get delivered to newsrooms, which, I can attest, contributes greatly to job satisfaction.)

What I really think, however, is that the news is so easily accessible online 24-7 that silly stuff might just add something people are not necessarily reading about online. And then there’s levity—maybe we need a break from the gravity of mysterious plane disappearances and a million suffering migrants. I guess you can’t feed on a diet of that nonstop. I retract my initial scorn; bring on the comic relief.

[rising above kingdom house

by becky mollenkamp People living in the poorest areas of St. Louis often can see the Gateway

Arch from their homes, but many go their entire lives without stepping foot inside it.

“It’s hard to expand your knowledge and figure out what you want to be in life if you’re never exposed to anything outside your neighborhood,” says Scott Walker, president of Kingdom House. “We believe the ticket out of poverty is getting an education that can lead to a life-sustaining job.” Each year, Kingdom House serves more than 8,000 South City residents with its network of educational programs.

The organization’s work begins with children as young as 6 weeks old. Its early childhood center provides curriculum-based preschool education for children up to age 5. “They get all the resources they need, and they leave us ready for kindergarten,” Walker says. The center creates a foundation of learning, which Kingdom House then builds upon with children in elementary and middle school through its after-school and summer programs.

Six- to 14-year-old children can attend Kingdom House’s after-school program, which provides individualized tutoring. The children, all of whom participate in the free or reduced lunch offering, also get a healthy dinner before heading home. “That’s usually a tough meal for our families because the parents often work two or three jobs and may not be able to get home and prepare dinner,” Walker says. The children also may join the organization’s summer camp, which focuses on literacy. “Kids can lose up to three months of learning when they are idle over the summer,” Walker notes. “Testing has shown our program stops that summer slide.” The students also take field trips to places like the Arch, Science Center and Meramec Caverns.

Kingdom House’s newest program, Kingdom Academy, provides tutoring, mentoring, and life- and job-skills training to 100 high school students. The first class graduated last May. Of the 18 children who completed the four-year program, 16 are

now in college and two attend vocational school. “Our local high school’s average graduation rate is 37 percent,” Walker says. “When you compare that to our first year, Kingdom Academy is very successful. Most of our kids are first-generation high school graduates.”

There’s also educational programming for adults. Kingdom House provides GED training, financial-literacy coaching, and fitness and nutrition advice to those older than 18 who want to improve their personal or family economic situation, Walker says.

The Senior Companion program trains volunteers over age 55 to visit housebound seniors and educate them on such issues as health care and social security. “Our multigenerational approach creates a shared language about how life should be lived among children and their parents and grandparents,” Walker says. “If we just teach kids and then send them home to an environment where what they learn is not practiced, they lose much of what they learn.”

The common thread running through all Kingdom House programs, Walker says, is the idea that education can provide a better life. “The participants we serve want to get ahead, but they don’t have the great support system most of us had. We give people a hand up, not a hand out, and empower them to move forward. Our programs are pathways out of poverty.”

Through their First Things First Foundation, Kurt and Brenda Warner continue to make a mark on our community, and their charitable holiday spirit is second to none. Since 2001, Warners’ Warm-Up has been a way to keep those less fortunate less chilly over the winter, by the collection and distribution of new or gently used coats. Ballwin’s finest are on the team: Open 24/7, the lobby of the Ballwin Police Department has been a collection point for a number of years. Nov. 14 is the cut-off point for donating coats at the PD, 300 Park Drive in Vlasis Park. Operation Food Search then collects the coats for distribution. More than 200,000 articles of outerwear have been donated since the program’s inception. Also in the lobby are collection boxes for Toys for Tots, the ever-popular toy drive of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.

New and unwrapped toys will be collected through Dec. 16 for underprivileged children. We realize your Halloween decorations still may be up and that you may not have bought your gobbler yet, but as the weather turns colder, keep in mind those less fortunate. The holidays will be here and gone before you know it. But a coat will keep a needy youngster or adult warm all season long, and next fall, too. Just think how warm and tingly such a donation will make you feel!

Pedal the Cause has whizzed its way up over the past five years to become one of the most significant cancer fundraisers in the metro, raising nearly $9.4 million to fight all kinds of cancer since it started. That is a chunk of change, and every dollar raised goes directly to projects geared to fight cancer

at BJC’s Siteman Cancer and St. Louis Children’s Hospital, both on Kingshighway just north of I-64 in the Central West End. (This is important to note, since many charitable efforts here and elsewhere have been criticized for directing too many funds toward covering administrative costs.

This year’s event raised a record-breaking amount … but we have to play it close to the vest, for now. The check presentation is slated for Nov. 19 at Ballpark Village during a special program from 5:30 to 7 p.m., with the BIG check reveal scheduled for 6 p.m. Over the last half-decade, participants working year-round, not just during the September cycling event itself, have raised millions toward 56 cancer projects—41 for adults and 15 for children. Anyone interested in helping raise the bar even higher can mark next year’s calendar for Sept. 24 and 25, 2016, when Pedal the Cause will be held at Chesterfield Amphitheater. And not everyone needs to get saddlesore, or even wear spandex. If you don’t want to cycle, you can be a ‘virtual’ rider.

parsnips, rutabagas and kale—and the knowledge that 15 percent of proceeds from The Bookmark pizza will be donated to Central Library through the end of the year in ongoing celebration of its 150th anniversary!

There’s a bookmark, too. You know, for books.

They call it a hospital without beds.

Mercy’s Virtual Care Center, which opened last month in Chesterfield, The recent renovation of our 150-year-old is the world’s first venture dedicated Central Library is all about knowledge, entirely to care outside its own walls. A for sure. (And if you haven’t seen it yet, four-story, 125,000-square-foot building, the Virtual prepare to have your hands ready to Care Center houses 330 Mercy employees—but no catch your chin, because your jaw will patients. Doctors and nurses are in-house, but sensitive drop.) But it’s about entertainment, cameras and real-time vital signs allow the medical team too (and fundraising) Grab your basket of goodies, toss to ‘see’ patients where they are, be it in a traditional on your best red cape, and traipse into the forest when hospital, a doctor’s office or in some cases, at home. the St. Louis Public Library Foundation continues its Telemedicine has been around for a decade or so, but tradition of literary-themed fundraising events with this offers a second set of eyes … or, for some hospitals, Stranger Than Fiction: Into the Woods. If you’d like to the only set. In the latter scenario, stroke sufferers come as Little Red Riding Hood for the gala—Saturday, Nov. 21—go for it, because Grandma Wolf will probably be awaiting you eagerly. The attire is billed as cocktail or ‘Fairytale Festive.’ Proceeds support literacy and after-school programming offered at library locations throughout the city year-round: Homework Helpers, Summer Reading Club, Read It Forward, Reading Pays, and Playdate Theater. But I digress. Why? Because, well, what’s the absolute value of pi? It’s 3.14 something something, mathematically speaking. But Pi has a different value to the library if you purchase The Bookmark pizza from any of the five Pi Pizzeria locations around town. The vegan creation might even chesterfield intrigue a carnivore or two with its roasted carrots,

can benefit from immediate care via telemedicine; many community ERs don’t have a neurologist on-site.

Mercy reports that its SafeWatch system is the largest single-hub ICU in the nation. Doctors and nurses offsite monitor hospital patients’ vital signs, providing additional observers to augment bedside caregivers in 30 ICUs across five states. Since the concept was introduced in 2006, Mercy officials say SafeWatch ICUs have seen a 15 percent reduction in how long patients stay in the hospital. Mercy’s Virtual Care Center also was designed to be a workspace for innovations in patient care and product testing—officials say the building invites collaboration and the development of new ideas for getting care to patients when and where they need it, with less expense. The sparkling new $54 million facility is at 15740 S. Outer Forty Road, which is directly across Clarkson Road from Chesterfield Mall.

The speed limit along Elm Avenue in Webster Groves is 25 most places.

But many drivers get leadfoot between Big Bend and Lockwood … including me. Thing is, this is a residential area. Of late, these bright red signs have appeared in a number

of yards along the route: ‘Drive Like Your Kids Live Here.’ I found myself slowing down … from 35, or so, which is how fast traffic generally flows through there. But it got me thinking—and slowing down even more. Webster is one of several communities nationwide fed up with drivers treating residential streets like a drag strip. Chagrin Falls, Ohio, is another upscale community where drivers rush from here to there—and in neighborhoods, for goodness’ sake, not on thoroughfares with high speed limits. Folks there, and in communities from coast to coast, also have invested in these signs. They were not issued by the city, MoDOT or the county. They’re available online from a company that notes the highest death rate for kids 14 and younger is from traffic accidents. That’s grim. And we think this is important to keep in mind.

Speeding is not for our residential neighborhoods!

Go out and order your yard signs today. The ones we saw are two-sided and flexible, similar to political campaign signs; and reflective signs, too, are available. Now, for anyone who’d like a ‘Drive Like Your Mother-in-Law Lives Here’ sign, we didn’t see one in the catalog.

As you all know by now, I’m adjusting to being an empty-nester. Apparently, a child who shall remain unnamed is adjusting quite well to college in Denver, so if like me you are looking for things to fill a void, here are some suggestions I have found helpful.

« Learn a skill from your great-grandmother:

My girlfriend and I started canning. Yes, you read that correctly, we decided that we should prepare for what could be a hard winter by filling up our pantries with some basic staples. We both had an entire Saturday with nothing pressing, so why not learn a new skill?

Canning is not particularly hard—just lots of chopping and boiling. Though our great-grandmothers aren’t around to teach us this skill, with some quick Internet searches we were ready to start, kind of. Regrettably, neither of us paid attention to the pH rule, you know, the one that actually keeps the food from giving you botulism. Nonetheless, we managed to can tomato and apple sauces, salsa and apple chutney.

I don’t really want to risk my health, so I plan to give my sauces and salsas as holiday gifts. (The whole botulism thing makes me a little nervous.) « Go to the mall: I shopped. And I shopped. I had a party at a store so my friends would shop with me while drinking wine. I bought the most expensive purse I have ever purchased, in an attempt to make myself feel better. You know, they tell you that you can’t buy happiness, but I came close a few times. Thanks, Saks Fifth Avenue. « Go to a spa: I went to a spa in Austin, Texas, with my friend Beth. I met Beth in high school, and we’ve been getting into mischief ever since, including crashing a wedding. So off we went to this small, exclusive spa where we would be fed, pampered and work out to our hearts’ content. Things didn’t start so great, since the spa limo forgot to pick us up, but after that small kerfuffle it went swimmingly. The two of us met Gayle King, you know, Oprah Winfrey’s best friend?

Beth and I spent the rest of the time trying to get Gayle to become our best friend, but she resisted every overture, including: “Gayle, would you like to join us for wine and bingo?” Hard to believe she could say no to that. As for losing weight at the spa, well, the food was nutritionally balanced, served in small portions and locally sourced. Had Beth and I adhered to the suggested maximum of two glasses of wine, we probably would have shed some pounds. But Lucy and Ethel just couldn’t resist breaking that rule. So I came home a little chubbier than when I left. I am not going to stress, though, since wine is one of those foods that tastes good and is good for you, right?

Next week, I finally get to see my daughter. I suspect she will resist my plan to sleep in her room like I did when she was a baby just to make sure she is still breathing. contact patty at phannum@townandstyle.com.

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

Congrats to our very own Bach Society, St. Louis’ oldest continual choral group. The newly launched season is its 75th and includes a year of celebratory events culminating in a June 9 gala and concert at The Sheldon. Check out bachsoceity.org for details.

There’s nothing like anticipating twin grandbabies to inspire a new book. That is what local children’s author Kim Gosselin found, anyway, when she wrote Babies of Two, her first book in 15 years.

It is written from the perspective of babies who share every experience, from the womb onward.

It is illustrated with watercolor images by Alisa Belzil and will be available Dec. 1 on Amazon.com (the Kindle edition is already out).

Hometowner Beau Willimon (of House of Cards fame) has

created a short film called Curt that played at the

St. Louis Film Festival recently.

Willimon made the documentary about a longtime California surfer with autism through his production company, Westward Productions. Another short is on the way, this one about Karl Bushby’s walk around the world. Stay tuned. Willimon is a Burroughs grad, ‘95.

It may be a little early to visit Santa, but it’s never too early for Santa to collect toys that will bring smiles to sick children. That’s why Mosby Building Arts is reprising its Stuff the Truck toy drive, a collection of new toys for donation to St. Louis Children’s Hospital, going on now. You can help Mosby top its 1,000-plus haul of last year by bringing your donations to the drop-off box in the Mosby lobby at 645 Leffingwell Ave. in Kirkwood.

Our city’s Trey Ross (MICDS, 2013) was a winner in the Society of Professional

Journalists’ Mark of Excellence Awards.

Her three winning pieces, published in her school newspaper, The Daily Wildcat (U. of Arizona) were in the General Column Writing category, chosen from scores of entries. Trey is the daughter of Lee Ross of Ladue and the late Michael Ross.

The needs of nonprofits are always great,

but they seem to grow even more around the holidays.

Town&Style is doing its part to help by asking local charities to name the top three items on their wish list.

During a season that’s all about giving, it’s nice to be reminded of ways we all can lend a helping hand.

Adding a few of these items to one of your holiday shopping days can be a small way to make a big impact.

Crystal Herbosa & Justin O’Connor

6 | 12 | 15

by karyn meyer | photos by claire bira of imageclarity It was a casual outing with girlfriends at Roxane WINE BAR in Clayton that led

Crystal Herbosa to her future husband, Justin O’Connor. They sat next to each other and struck up a conversation that ended with the two making plans for St. Patrick’s Day the next week. A little more than a year later, Justin proposed.

“It was Easter, and he had planned to do it at my parents’ house in front of our families,” Crystal explains. “But when I showed up at his place before church, he was standing in a cute seersucker suit holding a big Easter egg with a bow from Ladue Florist, like the ones he got as a child.” What was inside the egg was much better than chocolate! “It was so hard to sit through church and not be able to call people,” Crystal laughs. “We all celebrated at my parents’ house afterward.”

The couple expected a large wedding; Crystal is one of six children, and she and Justin were the first to get married on both sides of the family. “There ended up being 330 guests,” she says. “My dad’s family came in from the Phillipines and my uncles from Canada. It was the first time everyone was together in St. Louis.”

Numerous family influences were incorporated throughout the wedding. Justin’s Irish roots led the couple to choose green for the main wedding color, and a bagpiper played as they walked out of the church and into the reception. “One of my dad’s Thunderbirds is mint green, so we drove away in that,” Crystal says. “The color couldn’t have been better!” Since her mom is Italian, Crystal got a group together to make bags of Italian cookies in the tradition of her heritage.

“The entire day was more than I ever expected,” she says. “I never imagined I would get such an amazing wedding. We are so grateful to our parents.”

Holiday Beauty gifts by dorothy weiner | photo by bill barrett

Don’t ever underestimate the power of great beauty gifts. Yes, jewelry is thrilling and handbags are divine, but there’s

also a lot to be said for very special items in the beauty category.

For one thing, most women will not go out and buy fancy soaps or exclusive perfumes for themselves. And beauty is the gift that

Jo Malone Deluxe Candle in Lime Basil & Mandarin

This super-sized candle will set the mood for any soiree, with the clean, lightly spiced aroma of one of this brand’s most iconic scents.

keeps on giving every time you catch a whiff of that scent you adore or a glimpse of that colorful eye palette. And let’s not forget that even the girl who has everything might not have a Jo Malone super candle, the one with three wicks that can perfume the entire house in 10 minutes!

Rancé L’Homme

Pampering is not just for the girls. Guys have been getting into the act for years now, so maybe it’s time for yours to have a set of triple-milled French soaps of his own. $58 at Sallie Home

$195 at Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom

Bond No. 9 Bond Street

The newest offering from the tony NYC perfumer is chic and sophisticated, with an underlying note of gardenia, spiced by amber, vetiver and musk. $320 at Saks fifth avenue

Marc Jacobs Style Eye-Con, The Free Spirit

Who wouldn’t want this palette of luscious colors by style icon Marc Jacobs? The 20 day-to-night shades include many with iridescent texture. $99 at Sephora

LEISURE

Apronomics

Travel down a windy gravel road in the Eureka countryside, and you’ll find Claverach Farm, the perfect melding of working farm and elegant, rustic restaurant. Diners stroll up to the century-old barn refurbished to house a cocktail bar, long rows of family-style tables and a pizza oven. A bonfire crackles in the front drive and live music provides a festive backdrop for the evening’s happy hour, when diners can nibble on seasonal appetizers and tour the property before a four-course meal showcasing the farm’s vibrant produce.

The 300-acre farm in the Ozark Hills has been in co-owner Sam Hilmer’s family for generations, since the late 1800s, says Joanna Duley, who has run the operation alongside him since 2004. Now, Hilmer manages the farm while Duley manages the greenhouse microgreens operation, as well as logistics for the dinners, including reservations. Together, they plan menus and work the kitchen. About 10 acres are used for vegetables and 3 acres are planted with grapes for the farm’s small winemaking operation, she says.

Neither Duley nor Hilmer is a professionally trained chef, but both cultivated their skills out of a passion for the craft. Duley discovered a love for cooking and gardening not long after graduating from Washington University with a fine arts degree in 1990. She worked in a professional photo lab for a short time, but didn’t enjoy it, so she got a job at a neighborhood bakery, where she learned her way around the kitchen. “It completely changed my path,” she says. Before coming to Claverach Farm, she worked in professional kitchens for more than a decade. And Hilmer has been passionate about

cooking since he started growing vegetables nearly two decades ago after he graduated from Webster University with an anthropology degree. “He worked a little bit in restaurants when he was in high school, but he’s mostly self-taught,” Duley says.

Duley and Hilmer envisioned incorporating a restaurant into Claverach Farm ever since they started working together. They rehabbed the old barn about five years ago, then tested the concept with guest chefs from local restaurants. The food is now prepared entirely in-house, Duley says.

Menus, carefully constructed to show off the season’s best, are created the week of each dinner. “The farm gives us the opportunity to grow whatever we’re interested in working with and gives us access to a wide variety of high-quality produce,” Duley notes. Meat, although not produced on the farm, is sourced from nearby.

Currently, dinners are offered on most Friday and Saturday nights; most sell out, and reservations are required. The farm’s greenhouse yields fresh produce long past the summer, and hardy autumn squashes are stored for winter dinners. “Every season has something interesting to offer,” Duley says, noting that many diners are surprised at the bounty available in the winter months.

Growing Claverach Farm into a local dining destination has been a labor of love. “I love making beautiful food from the produce we grow, and feeding people and giving them a unique and enjoyable experience is really satisfying,” Duley says.

[ Randolfi’s Italian Kitchen ] 6665 delmar blvd. | 314.899.9221

[ amuse bouche ] The Scene:

A clever take on the Italian eatery

The Chef/owner:

Mike Randolph

The Prices:

$7-$11 starters $9.50-$21 pizzas $11-$22 pasta

The Favorites:

Rapini Caesar, Roast Beef Panini, Liver Pasta, Margherita Pizza, Ricotta Cake

Mike Randolph has reinvented his Loop pizza shop, formerly The Good Pie, into Randolfi’s. It’s got an exciting vibe, starting with the atmosphere, a playful mix of old-school Italian and the nontraditional.

This is not your ordinary Italian menu, either. You’re not going to find pickled potatoes in a seared tuna dish very often. Or sprouts on your desserts. He’s having fun with the food, much of which has a deconstructed character to it. The results, nine times out of 10, are pretty impressive. That said, you also can go in there to get a pizza and Coke, too.

But that would be a missed opportunity. Don’t pass up the Rapini Caesar ($8), which is not a salad at all.

Charred rapini is served with chopped egg, pungent anchovy and crunchy bits of toasted breadcrumb, all liberally topped with parmesan—the makings of a familiar salad, sans the lettuce. The handmade pastas are delicious, and most include unexpected little touches, like chopped hazelnuts in Roasted Tomato Garganelli ($9 or $16.50).

Duck liver pate-filled pasta curls is a notable dish that offers the richness of organ meat in a sauce called

‘liver butter.’ The pasta had that excellent al dente texture, soft yet slightly resistant. As a starter, Oven Roasted Cauliflower ($8) is delicious, the florets appetizingly brown and dotted with spicy, oily capers and parmesan cheese.

The pièce de résistance, however, had to be the simple Margherita pizza ($13) made in the large wood-fired pizza oven. The pizza crust is chewy, with occasional charred bubbles for fresh-from-the-oven authenticity. The San Marzano tomato sauce topping had a bright acidity tempered by creamy mozzarella di bufala and peppery basil.

In the tiny Meat & Fish category, Roast Beef Panini ($16) should not be missed. A ‘deconstructed’ dish of braised short rib with tantalizing capers and tomato bits in light broth, it includes large, crusty chunks of hearty bread, well-oiled and toasted. A topping of horseradish aioli adds cream and yet more fat, making this a rich flavor leader. (You’ll find yourself trimming away some of the fat.)

Whole Roasted Fish, market priced that night at $32, consisted of a head- and tail-on branzino delicately

baked with orange bits, lemon and arugula to yield moist and sweet flesh (although not totally boneless!).

It came with ‘croutons,’ large chunks of hearty peasant bread, very liberally oiled and toasted to crisp.

The Risotto ($11) is superior and should not be missed if you’re a fan of the creamy rice dish. This one was flavored liberally with lemon and parmesan cheese, and sporadically dotted with ‘caramelized Brussels sprouts’—four, to be precise. While I enjoyed the dish, I think the sprouts should have been peeled into leaves so that every bite of risotto included some. And while I fully agree that high-quality food is worth top dollar, this serving was no bigger than a cup—all the bread on the table won’t help you make a meal of that.

Desserts provide another culinary wild ride. Roasted Pear ($7) is soft, sweet pear slivers drizzled in olive oil, topped with amaretti crumble (crushed amaretto biscotti) and served with vanilla gelato. Ricotta Cake ($8) took the cake, so to speak. It consisted of delectable, spongy and slightly crisped small squares served with diced strawberries, acidic white balsamic vinegar and basil gelato.

The red wines of Beaujolais, france, pair well with

traditional Thanksgiving fare thanks to their light body, lively acidity, spiciness and round red fruit flavors that bridge the cranberry in the cranberry sauce.

Beaujolais Nouveau

Most people are familiar with the red wines of Beaujolais from the fruit-forward Beaujolais Nouveau that hits the market every year on the third Thursday of November, just in time for Thanksgiving. These are made from the Gamay grape and are fun, with bright cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit—even a touch of banana. (Sometimes they’re slightly effervescent because, to be honest, some have not even finished fermenting, that’s how fast they hit the market.)

The Grand Crus of Beaujolais

Nine areas in northern Beaujolais are designated Grand Cru: Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin-a-Vent, Fleurie, Chiroubles, Morgon, Régnié, Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly. Seven of the Crus actually are named after villages near where the vineyards are planted. Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly refer to specific vineyards around Mont Brouilly, and Moulin-a-Vent is named for a local windmill. You normally will not find Beaujolais on the label since they want to distinguish themselves from the lesser-quality Nouveau wines.

Sommeliers get excited about these wines! They are made classically, using a process called carbonic maceration, or simply put, fermenting the grapes full cluster without crushing them beforehand in a carbon dioxide-rich environment. It’s simple; this results in lighter tannins and the classic banana flavors.

My favorite cru is Morgon, which produces the deepest and fullest-bodied wines of the region, with aromas of apricot and spice, and earth tones reminiscent of high-quality Burgundy.

My personal favorite? Earl Daniel Bouland ‘Corcelette’ Morgon 2012.

James Bond. And I have to admit, it’s time. Craig was a great Bond, masculine and wry, charming and stoic.

But he’s clearly past the age for Bondian feats of derring do. These require too many rooftop jumps and car ejections for a man as age-hardened as Craig. Then there’s the girl. Played by Léa Seydoux, this love interest is supposed to be an accomplished psychiatrist. Unfortunately, Seydoux looks about half her 30-year age, which makes her seem improbable as either a psychiatrist or a match for Craig. This disconnect makes it a little harder than usual to turn on the ‘willing suspension of disbelief’

required to enjoy a Bond film. And the attempts to show an emotional softening of Bond through hints about his childhood and an embrace of ‘true love at last’ further erode the film’s fabric—they should stick to what Bond movies do best: entertaining explosions, chase scenes and intrigue, as the super spy foils a sinister master plan to control the world.

And, in this movie, to quash MI6’s ‘double-O’ program, of which 007 is the most renowned product.

cover story

[REST EASY SLUCARE PHYSICIAN GROUP by rick stoff “I kept complaining of acute fatigue. For five to 10 years it escalated,” says Betty, an information technology professional. “I have a

highly technical job, so attention to detail is critical. I had a tendency to be unable to focus and concentrate.”

Diagnosis was elusive, she says. “I was repeatedly told, ‘It’s just stress.’”

Last year, Betty (who asked that her real name not be used) was referred to the SLUCare Sleep Disorders Center. A detailed physical exam revealed respiratory allergies limiting her pulmonary function and causing sleep apnea, although she did not realize she was symptomatic. An overnight sleep study found that her body was not achieving deep-stage REM sleep. “That was the pivotal point,” she says.

“Sleep is one of the pillars of a healthy life,” says Dr. Raman Malhotra, co-director of the SLUCare Sleep Disorders Center. “It is as important as exercise and nutrition.

It affects every organ system: the brain, heart, blood pressure, sugar control, you name it.” Sleep deprivation can feel devastating, he adds. “All of us have experienced it. You feel miserable. It can affect your mood and your performance, whether at work or at home taking care of your kids.”

Sleeplessness compounds other diseases. “If you have painful conditions, your pain worsens. Other medical problems like diabetes and high blood pressure can be more difficult to control. It puts you at risk for more easily catching a cold or viral illness,” says Malhotra, who is certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine.

Sleep disorders have gathered attention as a distinct medical sub-specialty over the past 30 years, says Malhotra, an associate professor in the department of neurology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. “There is increasing awareness by the public,” he notes.

“Physicians are recognizing that many of their patients have sleep disorders that need to be addressed.”

The precise role of sleep remains somewhat of a mystery, however. “We are still trying to figure out the details,” Malhotra says. “We know sleep seems to serve a restorative role and allows the brain to recover from its Drs. Raman Malhotra and Joseph Espiritu daytime activities.”

In addition to Malhotra, the center’s medical team includes a pulmonologist, psychiatrist and otolaryngologist.

Sleepless Nights

Barriers to restful sleep have been well studied. “The most common conditions we see are obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia and restless leg syndrome,” Malhotra says. Obstructive sleep apnea repeatedly interrupts breathing because throat muscles relax and block the airway. It most often affects older adults and people who are overweight. “We think about 25 million Americans have sleep apnea. At best we are treating 10 percent of those,” Malhotra says.

Dr. Joseph Espiritu

A usual treatment for obstructive apnea is CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), a device that applies mild air pressure to the mouth and nose. Patricia Dettenmeier, an advanced nurse practitioner at the center, leads clinics to teach patients how to comfortably use CPAP. “We also have an ‘alternatives to CPAP clinic’ for people who have tried CPAP and decided it wasn’t for them,” Malhotra says.

“There are other options, such as dental appliances and surgery.”

As for non-apnea sleeplessness, it can have many causes. “Insomnia is being unable to fall asleep, stay asleep or get enough sleep,” Malhotra says. “Stress is often a cause. It can be stress at work or stress from another medical condition. Many times our habits and behaviors make it hard for our bodies to achieve sleep.”

Examples would be not setting a regular bedtime or wake time, he says. “Our body likes a normal schedule. A lot of our technologies—tablets, smart phones and TVs— emit light that tricks our brain into thinking there is sunlight and we’re supposed to be up.”

Restless leg syndrome is another condition that creates discomfort during the night. “These patients have sensations in their arms or legs that are difficult to describe. They feel like they have to move their extremities. Moving makes them feel better temporarily, then the sensation comes back,” Malhotra explains.

Less commonly seen are circadian rhythm disturbance and narcolepsy. “Circadian rhythm disturbance occurs when your body’s internal clock, which is controlled by the brain, is not coordinated with the times you would like to go to bed and wake up,” Malhotra says. Narcolepsy is a brain disorder that results in poor control of sleep cycles so patients experience bouts of extreme daytime sleepiness.

Narcolepsy is rare, “but we do see it, being a tertiary referral center,” Malhotra says. “We see patients from St. Louis and rural parts of Missouri and Illinois. People will drive several hours to treat some of the rare conditions like narcolepsy.”

Tailored Treatments

Screenings search for any issue that may affect the patient’s health. “We do a comprehensive history and examination in the clinic. If further testing is needed, we can offer home sleep testing or a visit to our sleep center, where patients come in overnight,” Malhotra says.

Due to the varied causes of sleep disorders, treatments are individualized for each patient by the center’s specialists. “Fortunately, when we identify the problem, we can offer effective treatments,” he says. “That is what I enjoy about the field: We are able to make our patients feel better.”

Dr. Joseph R. Espiritu, a SLUCare pulmonologist and co-director of the Sleep Disorders Center, guided Betty’s care. “My diagnosis was done thoroughly,” she says. Her sleep apnea had been overlooked because she did not fit the profile of the typical apnea patient.

“I weigh 105 pounds. I don’t drink, don’t smoke and lead a healthy lifestyle.”

With treatment for her respiratory allergies and deficient REM sleep, Betty says the improvement in her health is “200 percent. I feel refreshed in the morning. I can concentrate on what I have to do next and function for a long workday. I’m active. I ride my bike and hike. That’s all due to the diligence of the sleep team members.”

How to Seize the

By Doug Kaufman

Zzzzzs

Sleep is essential to a happy, healthy life, so why do so many people struggle to get enough of it?

Without proper sleep, brain function is impaired and we’re grumpy, morose and more susceptible to serious health issues like heart disease, stroke and premature death.

Sleep Apnea: It’s Serious

Experts have an acronym for identifying sleep apnea risk: ‘STOP BANG.’ It stands for Snoring, Tired, Obstructed breathing, Pressure (high blood pressure), Body mass index (BMI of 30 or more), Age (50 or older), Neck circumference (16 inches or greater for women, 17 or greater for men) and Gender (men are twice as susceptible). People with three or more of these characteristics are at risk for sleep apnea.

WAKE-UP CALL

“If you have sleep apnea, your (death) risk is about six-fold higher than a person without it,” says Dr. Joseph Espiritu, codirector of the SLUCare Sleep Disorders Center. The condition is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the airway during sleep. Dr. Kelvin Yamada, director of the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center says somewhere around 5 to 10 percent of the population have clear-cut sleep apnea. “But if you look at men over a certain age, it can approach 20 percent or more,” he says.

“When these people sleep at night, the muscles of the throat relax, so they either completely close down or become tight,” Espiritu says. “When they become tight, the person will stop breathing and oxygen levels may drop. However, the brain doesn’t allow you to stop breathing completely, so it wakes up briefly without you knowing in order to re-establish the airway, and those arousals interrupt your sleep.” So instead of getting a deep, refreshing sleep, these people have fragmented, shallow sleep. “They have poor concentration and trouble with their memory and vigilance; the risk of car accidents goes up,” Espiritu says.

Those night awakenings also release adrenalin, which raises blood pressure and increases the risk for heart attacks, stroke and diabetes. Once the likelihood of apnea is established, the next step is a sleep study, the gold standard being polysomnography, a measure of the variables while a patient is sleeping, including brain waves, breathing cessation and oxygen levels.

OPEN THE AIRWAYS

The treatment of choice is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a machine that forces air through a mask over the nose to improve airway flow. Patients with milder sleep apnea may be helped by a less-invasive method: a mandibular advancement device that gradually adjusts the protrusion of the jaw, moving the tongue and soft palate forward to open the airway.

Only 50 percent of patients who need it agree to use CPAP, Espiritu says. “That’s the biggest problem with the treatment. It’s a bit of a hassle,” Yamada says. “You have to get used to it. Some people take to it really well,

and if it helps alleviate symptoms, they really, really like it.

The morning after a sleep test, they’re begging for a machine.

Others can’t tolerate it at all.”

WHEN CPAP IS NOT FOR YOU

For some, CPAP can dry nasal passages or fill the stomach with air, causing discomfort, Yamada explains. Also, it can be problematic with cardiac patients. “If they have heart problems, you don’t want to put a lot of air pressure into their chest because that can interfere with their hemodynamics,” he says.

In such cases, a low-pressure CPAP setting is used. Some patients also have to sleep with their head and torso elevated, or even in a seated position, like in a recliner. “Some people can’t sleep flat, because airway anatomy works against you,” Yamada says. Since excess weight is often a contributing factor, weight loss is highly recommended. “It’s something we almost always discuss with our patients,” Yamada notes. The thing to remember, he stresses, is, “If you have severe sleep apnea and you don’t treat it, it will take years off your life.”

A Good Night’s Sleep

Much has been said about the amount of sleep people of various ages need. But the figures can be confusing since they seem to change says depending on who’s offering the advice. So what are we to do?

A Moving Target

“That’s a hard one,” says Dr. Margaret Whitcraft, an internist with Mercy Clinic Internal Medicine. “An adequate amount of sleep for an adult is at least seven to nine hours a night.” Earlier this year, the National Sleep Foundation convened a panel of experts and issued an extensive paper concerning sleep times. The study concluded that sleep requirements vary greatly. “Even within the science of sleep, we’ve got the issues of how much sleep do individuals need and how much sleep do population groups need,” says Dr. Joseph Ojile of Clayton Sleep Institute. “How much sleep you need is determined by your genetics.”

Ojile describes sleep needs as a bell-shaped curve.

“There’s a range, with people generally falling in the center of that curve,” he says. “Younger children need significantly longer sleep times than adults over age 25. There is some reduction in sleep needs as you get older.”

Rule Out Issues

Whitcraft sees about 20 patients a week—one-fifth of her practice—who have sleep issues. Sleep-deprived people have clear symptoms, she says, including headaches upon waking, feeling sick, low energy levels and needing naps during the day. “The next step is to categorize why they aren’t getting enough sleep,” she says. “Are they having difficulties falling asleep, or staying asleep? There could be a number of other disorders, like sleep apnea, that are really prevalent now because of the increase in obesity in our nation.”

Internists will prescribe sleep aids or try to determine disruptors like anxiety, but serious cases usually call for a sleep study done by a specialist, Whitcraft advises. “With sleep apnea, sometimes people will be in bed for nine or 10 hours, but they’re actually not getting nine to 10 hours of good sleep because their body is waking them up due to periods of low oxygen.”

Sleep Meds: Risks Vs. Rewards

Night Owls

What about people who claim they need only five to six hours of sleep a night? “There are indeed people we call short sleepers,” Ojile says. “However, the number of those who need less than six hours of sleep per night and are healthy is 1 percent or less. There are a few people who win the biology contest of life and can exist on short amounts of sleep, but it’s relatively uncommon, and not nearly as common as people would lead you to believe.”

Of those who claim to need less than the recommended amount of sleep, some are supplementing with daytime naps, a bimodal schedule Whitcraft calls the “perfect sleep pattern.” Or, as Ojile says, they’re using significant amounts of caffeine or other stimulants. The stimulant approach is not recommended. “Long term, it poses health risks,” he says. And if a generic warning about ‘health risks’ isn’t enough to scare you into better sleep habits, Ojile adds, “People who don’t sleep enough, or sleep too much, have higher rates of heart disease and weight gain, and higher mortality.”

When counting sheep isn’t bringing sleep, the only way to get by might be with a little help from your ‘friends’: the host of pharmaceuticals that are either revered or reviled, depending on how they work for an individual.

It’s Complicated

“When we prescribe medication, we should know which type of insomnia we are dealing with,” says Dr. Mesfin Mitike, a neurologist at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital.

If it is associated with depression, for instance, there are medications that will treat depression and improve sleep, he explains. Other issues like anxiety, chronic pain, sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome also should be considered to determine the proper medication.

“We try and figure out if there’s an underlying cause for chronic insomnia,” says Dr. Anthony Masi, a pulmonologist with Lung and Sleep Medicine in Ballwin. “If I can figure out what’s causing it, then I try and address that issue, which often will improve the insomnia.” If the sleeplessness doesn’t improve after addressing the underlying cause, or if the insomnia is idiopathic, meaning it has no apparent cause, then Masi will discuss sleep medicine options.

“I’ll ask patients if they would like to start a mild sleep aid or consider cognitive behavioral therapy, a type of relaxationbased therapy usually done by a counselor or psychologist,” Masi explains. “It addresses the hyper-arousal that is present

in many of these insomnia patients that prevents them from falling asleep. Cognitive behavioral therapy is really considered the first line of treatment.”

Pick Your Poison

The three sleep aids Mitike most commonly prescribes are Sonata, Ambien and Lunesta. Sonata is the treatment of choice for people who have trouble initiating sleep, he says. It has no residual sleepiness in the morning. Ambien is typically prescribed for people who have difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep. If a longer period of effectiveness is required, Lunesta is used. Masi has had success prescribing Trazodone, an antidepressant also effective for insomnia.

The most common adverse side effect of most sleep medicines is grogginess upon waking. If that occurs, Masi will reduce the dose or try a different medication. In rare cases, the patient may experience “complex sleep behavior, where he may get up in the middle of the night without any recollection,” Masi says. This can include sleep walking or cooking, eating or even driving while asleep.

“I have a lot of patients who are on Ambien and are responding nicely to it without any side effects,” Masi says. To better avoid problems, the smallest effective dose should be used. It’s also important, Mitike adds, not to combine sleep medicine with alcohol or any other medication, as this could dangerously affect breathing. Also, be prepared to go to sleep right after taking the dose.

The Natural Route

Melatonin, a natural sleep aid, can be used as a supplement in 3, 5 or 10 mg doses two hours before intended bedtime to transition into a relaxed state, Mitike says. And there is always cognitive behavior therapy, which many have success with. “It takes a lot of patience and dedication to practice the skills you learn through the counselor or therapist,” Masi says.

“But people who get good at it will improve their insomnia and often can stop sleep aids.”

As much as possible, doctors prefer patients not become reliant on medications for sleep. “Most sleep medications work by affecting one of the systems in the brain,” says Mitike.

“But all of them have an effect on the breathing center.”

David Porter had a vested interest in what happened to the 20-acre property adjacent to his Ladue home. The land also has local significance as the former estate of car dealership mogul Johnny Londoff and his family. So when it was slated to be divided into multiple lots for new construction, Porter and his wife Angie decided to buy the land themselves and renovate the home.

“We wanted to create a buffer for our acreage, accumulate additional pasture space and preserve a piece of history,” Porter says. “It was a substantial investment, but the house had great bones and is a neat building architecturally.”

Porter is used to starting from scratch. The entrepreneur and his wife invented and developed the FURminator dog brush, and he is working on collapsible sports sunglasses called Popticals. But for the home project, Porter acquired

the help of builder Jeff Monroe of CIC Corp. and architect Dick Busch. “Jeff built my house and is just a beautiful craftsman,” he says. “He is the master behind all of this. Dick Busch put together all of the final drawings and is a great visual guy. This is a labor of love for all of us.”

After designing plans and getting feedback from real estate firms, construction began to transform the home to its former glory as a Southern Colonial manse.

“It was kind of a trainwreck inside,” Porter says. “We didn’t gut everything because there were tons of great features we wanted to keep, like the fabulous millwork and beautiful entrance staircase that makes you feel like you’re in Gone with the Wind.” Other things had to go, like the wallpaper covering every room and flooring that wasn’t level.

“We raised ceilings, enclosed the breezeway and added another grand stairwell that leads to the lower level, which changed the whole flow of the house,” Porter says. “We revamped the entire downstairs, adding a media room with stadium seating, workout room and big entertainment area.”

He says they often asked themselves what they would want in the nearly 8,300 square feet when making decisions, even though the renovated home was meant for another buyer.

Amenities like a big master suite and completely renovated bathrooms, kitchen and hearth room topped the list.

The home sits on a 3.7-acre lot, which includes a pool, pool house, formal terraced gardens and tennis court. One of the best things is its privacy, Porter notes. “We have tons of wildlife and lots of woods surrounding us.” Thanks to Porter, it will stay that way.

Furniture Market comes around twice a year, giving furniture manufacturers an opportunity to introduce new and exciting products to the design community. When creating these products, considering the consumer and how they will use each piece, is always in mind. Manufacturers like to offer unique solutions for obstacles designers may face while designing and creating clients’ spaces.

With the popularity of personalized and “build-yourown” upholstery pieces on the market, one manufacturer has thought outside the box and taken this concept further.

“Make it Yours” case goods allow designers to personalize bedroom case pieces with a variety of options. Not only can you choose from case piece sizes, base and leg options and hardware, there are over 70 standard finish options. Imagine the possibilities!

Now an annual tradition anticipated by many St. Louisans, the sixth annual JDRF Heart of the Home Kitchen Tour, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 12, offers a glimpse into some of the area’s most attractive kitchens, all while supporting a worthy cause. This year’s self-guided tour features nine homes in Clayton, Ladue, Town & Country and Creve Coeur.

ponsored by Town&Style, the event is volunteer-driven, and all proceeds go directly toward research to fight Type 1 Diabetes. Tickets are $40 and can be purchased at tinyurl.com/jdrfkitchentour2015 or by calling 314.729.1846. “Our fundraising goal this year is $40,000,” says JDRF development coordinator Laura Roeder.

“Over the years, we have raised more than $150,000 for JDRF and the fight against T1D. We can not thank the homeowners enough for opening their kitchens to us and our corporate sponsors, many of whom return every year.”

Participants will be given a starting address, where they will receive a guided map to the rest of the homes. Sponsors of each kitchen will be available to talk about their work, and local restaurants will put the kitchens to good use by cooking up tasty treats. This year, the list includes Chaumette Winery, Natey’s Catering, Julia’s Catering, Hot Pot, Orlando Gardens, J. Gilbert’s, The Art of Entertaining, Frisk, Russo’s and Patty Long Catering.

“Everybody who goes on the tour has a blast,” Roeder says. “Everyone is in a great mood and excited to get wonderful decorating ideas for their kitchen renovations. It’s always so much fun!”

Three additional kitchens are not pictured. They are sponsored by CK Power, Granite Busters and Red Card.

This is urban living in Old Town Clayton, with clean, simple lines and a soft gray palette. The transitional kitchen is a modern mix of cool stainless steel and warm wood cabinets.

TRASH OR TREASURES by becky mollenkamp

Anyone who has watched Antiques Roadshow on PBS probably dreams of finding a million-dollar treasure hidden among the bric-a-brac in the basement or attic. But how can they tell? That’s the expertise of Kodner Gallery. The local art specialists recently helped an art collector in Washington state authenticate a set of small panels as original artist representations for the mural at the downtown St. Louis post office by Chicago artists Edward Millman and Mitchell Siporin. The panels’ worth is estimated to be at least $250,000.

and have them printed on >> mousepads >> luggage tag >> magnets >> mugs >> and more!

“For nearly 50 years we’ve been assisting the community in evaluating their items,” says gallery owner Jonathan Kodner. “We try to provide insight into what someone may have and what its value may be.

Whether it’s an important or valuable item or not, it’s always a learning process.” About half of the art, antique furniture, jewelry, quilts, rugs, musical instruments and other collectibles customers bring in for evaluation are valuable, Kodner says. “You get the good with the bad, but it’s always interesting and fun.” People wanting to

differentiate between trash and treasure should look for four basic clues, he says.

Kodner Gallery provides free verbal evaluations and no appointment is necessary, Kodner says. Just call ahead during regular business hours to confirm that an appraiser is available. If his staff is unable to make an informed estimate of an item’s worth, they will refer to another specialist. “Never assume anything,” he says. “Listen to your instinct and intuition, and then get a professional’s opinion.”

t r e a s u r e c lu e s Examine the object for identifying markings, such as signatures or labels. Pieces clearly belonging to an artist, workshop or manufacturer of note, such as Tiffany & Co., Rockwood or Henredon, are likely to have value. But not all valuable items have these clear markings, so don’t discard something simply because it lacks one, Kodner advises.

Consider the quality of the item.

Excellent craftsmanship, including high-end materials or handmade details like carved wood, can be indicators of value.

314.657.2100 | townandstyle.com

Jonathan Kodner

Consider its condition, Kodner says.

The closer an item is to its original

state, the better. If you think you have something of value, keep it in a cool, lowhumidity area and use only acid-free materials and filtered protective glass or plexiglass to enclose it until you can have it appraised. “When we look at the item, we can refer you to a conservator or restorer if its condition needs work,” Kodner says.

Finally, investigate the item’s provenance, or history. “Ask yourself why it was created and why it was relevant,” he says. “The story can add to the historical importance of the object.” Anyone can do initial research online or at the library, but only an expert can definitively appraise an item, he adds.

homework] Dear Homework,

When I married my husband, he asked if I wanted to move, but I said, “Let’s wait a couple years.” It has now been 10 years, and we are still here. I do not love the design of this house.

It is too dark and the exterior is ‘Chicago brick.’ I think a few changes could really make a difference in its look. Can you help? I’d love a more traditional look.

Sincerely, —Time To Get Serious

Dear Time To Get Serious, After

The only traditional look that your contemporary ranch could convincingly evolve into would be the Craftsman style. To that end, I show a new front door and sidelights, capped with a new trellis supported by curving brackets.

New Craftsman lanterns have been moved to the space adjacent to the sidelights.

Painting the door and siding, and a suggested new roof color, complete the architectural updates. The landscape changes basically save the day by adding charm and ‘oomph’ in numerous ways. New evergreen hedges replace the cheesy draped chain.

Tall, columnar evergreens frame the entry and help hold the eye at the improvements here. Flower boxes top the brick piers, adding color and detail. Enormous flower pots, in a color to match the front door, enhance the entry, and tall fountain grasses finish the composition and soften the blank brick walls.

The house now looks somewhat more traditional, and a lot more inviting.

Thanks for asking, —Homework
