[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] A video released by advocacy group Hollaback last week made a point about male-female interaction, specifically calling attention to the objectification of women. Or the adoration of them, depending on your point of view, I guess. That is the real revelation here: how very differently men and women can perceive cat-calling, whistling, hooting and other forms of overt, unsolicited attention. Every woman has experienced ‘boys behaving badly,’ and now I understand more clearly why. It has to do with something Dr. Tim Jordan referred to in his last parenting column: he said girls and boys are ‘hard-wired differently.’

This video project involved one woman, modestly clad in jeans and a black T-shirt, walking the busy streets of New York City for 10 hours.

She received more than 100 comments and come-ons from guys.

Following the video’s release, some of the male responses aired on NPR revealed that this behavior is considered by many of them as flattering, complimentary and entirely appropriate. Now that’s a perspective I doubt many women would agree with.

One guy cluelessly commented that he “would love it if a woman shouted about my body in the street.” I wonder whether he’d feel the same way if the shouter were twice his size and followed him down the street at close range for five whole minutes?

Showing for the first time in St. Louis, the gallery’s inaugural exhibition, ANDY WARHOL: MYTHS, includes an exclusive 100 square-inch painting (pictured) and individual lithographs of 10 mythical characters. Ronald Greenberg opened the gallery in 1972 (not far from the current location) as one of St. Louis’ first contemporary art galleries. After moving to the Central West End, he recently brought the gallery back to Clayton in a newly renovated space.

I-64/40 Boone’s Crossing Exit

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

St. Louis County has equipped about 450 of its officers with body cameras. Ellisville officers have about 20. But at this writing, it doesn’t look as though neighboring Ballwin will be getting the devices for its officers anytime soon. Police recently nixed the idea, for one thing, because of rapidly advancing technology— that is, why make the investment today when the devices will only become obsolete within a few years? Well, that’s one argument. But what happens in the case of an incident similar to our globally notorious, continuing story from Ferguson? There was no dashboard camera in the car there, much less a body camera on the officer, which could have clarified conflicting witness accounts—and kept St. Louis from being headlines from here to London for the past three months. At a recent city council meeting, Ballwin aldermen briefly discussed the issue, putting the kibosh on cameras for fear officers might have difficulty operating them in an emergency.

Also, what if someone ‘accidentally’ erased a video?

Both valid concerns. But it’s a new era in policing. The public demands accountability, and any bozo with a cell phone can record police actions—not always fairly and accurately. So why not take advantage of technology that could confirm an officer acted within his authority? If neighboring Ellisville has pockets deep enough, surely Ballwin can dig a little deeper.

Remember anything amusing, momentous or otherwise from a visit to Balaban’s since the legendary bistro opened in 1972?

We’re sure many of you do, from spying a celebrity to getting down on one knee and presenting a ring. During the 40th anniversary celebration of the historic restaurant (the last five of them in Chesterfield), Balaban’s is running a wine-themed contest to see who can uncork the most memorable memory. It could be having enjoyed a particular bottle that would make even Wine Spectator editors green with envy. Or taking the kids there for a high school graduation celebration. Balaban’s fans should enter by mail, email or fax to record their unique memories for posterity and get a chance to win two seats to a special Balaban’s wine dinner, plus a two-night stay in a local inn. The anniversary celebration, which centers on Chateau Montelena wines, begins Sunday (Nov. 16) and winds up Nov. 22 at the restaurant, 1772 Clarkson Road.

Throughout the anniversary week, diners will receive a complimentary Balaban’s corkscrew, and the person paying the tab is automatically entered in another contest: for free membership in Balaban’s wine club.

On the anniversary celebration’s closing weekend, Nov. 21 and 22, a retrospective $45 dinner of classics will be served: cucumber bisque, smoked trout pancake, beef Wellington, chocolate fritters ... mmmm brings back the memories.

OF THE

Warren J. Gladders flouted the law and basic human decency when he robbed a Creve Coeur bank and two others last year, shooting a Missouri state trooper in the process. A former lawyer and police officer himself, Gladders probably should have known better than the average citizen. He’ll have plenty of time to think about what he’s done, more than likely the rest of his life, while in prison. Gladders, 65, was sentenced to nearly 70 years for the crime spree, which netted him less than $60,000. He’s lucky, sort of, that his convictions didn’t include murder—the trooper was wearing a bulletproof vest. Firing at a police officer, even aiming a gun at someone who’s armed and well-trained, is what law enforcement personnel call ‘suicide by cop.’ The trooper returned fire, hitting Gladders in the leg. These crimes are completely baffling, considering Gladders’ background: John Burroughs School, Washington University Law School, Colgate University. Gladders reportedly has not commented on his motivation, although financial stress must have contirbuted. We are reduced to scratching our heads.

If there weren’t a sucker born every minute, there wouldn’t be a scam dreamed up every 30 seconds or so. We heard that a con artist claiming to be with a local police department has managed to get away with at least $500, and the figure isn’t higher only because someone he hoodwinked called the cops to complain. Threat of arrest apparently got that poor bloke or blokette to cough up the cash. Apparently the caller identifies himself as a police captain, says the victim missed a date to serve on a federal jury at city hall, and must pay the fine to avoid arrest—five Benjamins (yikes) via a MoneyPak Green Dot pre-paid card, a vehicle similar to PayPal. Cops remind citizens that no one from their department will try to collect money for any reason, which could make it harder for legitimate concerns like Fraternal Order of Police to get anything from the lowest common denominator (that is, folks who eat Cheetos and watch Judge Judy). We’re sorry if we insulted anyone.

Missouri Coalition for the Environment and Paraquad have benefited from the free-form activity. Fifty percent of Paraquad staff themselves have disabilities ranging from deafness to cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and spinal-cord injuries. They report leaving the sessions feeling a sense of joy and uplift, plus a stronger bond among their fellows. It was a time for laughter and letting the guard down. Fishbone is happy with the results so far, but not surprised. As he beats the drum for group drumming throughout the area, he hopes to establish similar relationships with other organizations, including more area fire departments.

Here in The Lou, and everywhere else masks and candy are sold, October is all about Halloween. Beginning in August, you needn’t go farther than your local big-box store for confirmation, from Walgreen’s to Home Depot. Today, of course, holiday decorations have crowded out all the half-price candy.

Meanwhile, in all the Halloween frenzy you might have missed a magical celebration in our Latin-American community: Día de los Muertos. (Unfortunately, I did, but won’t next year.) This traditional ‘Day of the Dead’ celebration honors those who have departed with decorated skulls (replicas, mostly), music, dance, food, costumes, artwork and candles … lots of candles.

If you heard banging last time you drove past the Olivette Fire Department, it wasn’t the sounds of construction on the new Community Center. That happens later. It was drumming: group drumming, to be precise. Firefighters weren’t putting together the latest and greatest garage band. They were team-building. Chief Scott Avery recommends the activity for any group that needs to perfect working together and develop new and better ways to communicate: to be in sync through finding rhythm.

Olivette resident and multi-talented artist Robert Fishbone also has facilitated group drumming sessions

EasyBabyTravel.com This year it was held over a week and a half (Oct. 22 to Nov. 1) in the Cherokee Street neighborhood of south St. Louis. Participants built altars to honor those who have passed. The celebration culminated with a procession of altars (they were judged for their insight, creativity and beauty) and special performances. Of course, there was face-painting. But the most intriguing attraction seems to have been the ‘Loving Kindness Meditation,’ a time to reflect on the preciousness of both the living and the dead, guided by a poet. It was an opportunity to ‘temporarily inhabit the meeting ground between the dead and the living,’ then return to the present moment reflective, refreshed and energized. Mark your calendar for Día de los Muertos 2015: Monday, Nov. 2. Meantime, you can look for the Pixar film slated for release next year. It may whet your appetite for the real thing here in the real world.

The neon sign has graced the Loop with its illuminated plumage for months; OK, it’s teased visitors to the hip dining and entertainment district for eons, it seems.

But hey, boys and girls, the Peacock Loop Diner itself is finally open. Twenty-four hours a day!

Where else can you get a milkshake spiked with who knows what intoxicating spirits … until 1 a.m., that is … other than Joe Edwards’ latest brainchild at 6261 Delmar Blvd.? You can get a unique, or almost traditional, breakfast all day and all of the night. You could celebrate a special occasion in the Peacock Carousel of Love, with its rotating booth, maybe even get married there. Hey; does it seem to anyone else that the Loop is looking more and more like a little Las Vegas? Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. Edwards, who’s had a hand in the neon stretching from Blueberry Hill to The Pageant, is a fan of vintage ephemera, from lifestyle to architectural trappings. We saw him at Carl’s in Rock Hill awhile back, with his circa-1960 ride. I’m no automotive expert, but it had pretty neat fins replete with taillights.

“scot free ”

Movie buffs, St. Louis is the place to be in November! From Nov. 12 through 23, the 23rd annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival is showing nearly 400 full-length features and shorts from 69 countries. Attendees also can hear talks from more than 125 filmmakers and related guests. More information at cinemastlouis.org.

phraseology [ freyz • ŏ • lō • gy ]

We say it whenever a presumed guilty party escapes payment or punishment, as in “O.J. Simpson and Casey Anthony got off scot free.” But where does the phrase come from? The term originated in the Old Norse word skat, meaning ‘tax’ or ‘payment,’ then migrated from Scandinavia to Britain in the 10th century as ‘scot,’ a tax levied for municipal poverty relief. Then, as now, people with clever accountants were able to avoid paying their share of the tax, thus getting off scot free. The first figurative use of the phrase occurs in John Maplet’s Green Forest, 1567: “Daniell escaped scotchfree by Gods pruidence” (‘scotchfree’ evidently was based on a mishearing). The currently used term first appeared in Robert Greene’s 1588 The Historie of Dorastus: “...Egistus had escaped scot-free.”

Roseanne Cash, daughter of the Man in Black, comes to St. Louis 8 p.m.

Nov. 20 for ArtSounds!, a live music event to benefit Sheldon Art Galleries.

Cash has more than lived up to her father’s reputation with her genreblending country, rock, roots and pop music. For tickets and more information, visit sheldonconcerthall.org.

SOME PEOPLE THINK JOBS CAN SOLVE THE POVERTY CRISIS. advice. “It’s not hit-or-miss,” he says. “We stick with them until they finish.”

Scott Walker disagrees. “There’s more to economic stability than being employed,” says Walker, executive director of Kingdom House. “If all you can get is a minimumwage job, you’re still poor. Education is the ticket out of poverty.”

Kingdom House, a south St. Louis anchor since 1902, serves 8,100 people annually with a network of education and support programs. “We first take care of basic needs like food, clothing and childcare, and then we equip clients with tools to build a better future,” Walker explains. “You can’t instill respect for education in young people if it’s not upheld at home, so we reach out to the entire family. It starts with preschool, continues with after-school tutoring and homework help for kids and teens, and keeps going with adult education.” Services include GED and ESOL tutoring; classes in parenting, financial literacy, job skills and health, and programs for seniors.

Kingdom Academy, established in 2012, is a year-round program that encourages kids to stay in high school and prepares them for post-secondary education, be it college or job training. “In some area high schools, the graduation rate is as low as 36 percent,” Walker says. “We want to change that.” Each year, Kingdom Academy takes 25 ninth-graders from different schools and provides whatever they need to continue their education, including tutoring, college visits, job-shadowing opportunities and

Kingdom House receives financial support from United Way, but relies on contributions from donors to fill the gaps. Toast & Taste the 1920s, a Nov. 21 fundraising event at Moulin, is a beer-, wine- and chocolate-tasting bash featuring swing dancing and live music by Miss Jubilee and the Humdingers. “Living in the city, I see the needs felt most acutely by women and children,” says event chair Brooke Jaffe. “Kingdom House works hard to make a difference in our community, and I want to be part of that.”

Last year, the mother of a Kingdom Academy student moved away and left him behind, Walker recalls. “He stayed with an aunt who didn’t really want him, and when she lost her house, he was on his own,” Walker says. Kingdom House found him a safe place to live and supported him every step of the way. “He’s so determined to succeed that even when he broke his foot, he took two buses and Metrolink to get to school. He never missed a day. He’s now making excellent grades, and he’s on track to graduate and go to community college.”

If not for Kingdom House, the young man would have dropped out, Walker adds.

“When someone falls down, they need a hand to get back on their feet. Kingdom House gives them that hand, plus the tools they need to achieve self-sufficiency. We hold on until they no longer need us.”

WITH SO MANY WORTHY CAUSES COMPETING FOR ATTENTION, HOW CAN MY HUSBAND AND I COME UP WITH A PLANNED GIVING STRATEGY THAT REFLECTS OUR VALUES?

“

For many people, making a difference is an essential element when it comes to defining, and leading, a quality life. These families should seek out a professional adviser who embraces purpose-driven planning, rather than one who focuses only on tax-driven strategies. A community foundation, like YouthBridge, can work directly with you or with your financial adviser to make sure your planned giving strategies match up with your values. Staff understand local needs and are able to identify well-run nonprofits that serve the causes you care about. Establishing a donoradvised fund is a great first step toward accomplishing your objective. With this type of fund, values-based giving guidelines are established, you participate in current grant-making from the fund, and after your death, the foundation can step in to carry on your legacy by making grants consistent with your guidelines.

It’s also possible to involve your family in ongoing grant-making from the fund.

When seeking a wealth adviser, ask about their involvement in the community and pay attention to the questions they ask you. A purpose-driven adviser will want to know about your values and non-financial goals. The Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP) designation may help you identify advisers who embrace a purpose-driven approach to wealth management.

CEO, YOUTHBRIDGE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Charitable giving programs are as variable and unique as the individuals who develop them.

To get started, determine how much money your family wants to devote to philanthropic plans by taking a look at your household income and savings, your tax situation, your living circumstances and your family’s needs. Meet with your financial adviser, tax preparer and attorney to evaluate your options. Then explore how you would like to make your gifts. Do you want to make the contributions and keep tabs on your gifts and receipts on your own? Or do you want to create a private foundation? The do-it-yourself approach can be time-consuming, and setting up a private foundation can be costly, especially at start up.

Another option is opening a charitable-giving fund at an organization such as the Greater Saint Louis Community Foundation. It enables you to avoid the start-up costs associated with private foundations, and to have as much recognition or anonymity as you desire. An organization like ours handles all the record keeping, as well. Once you’ve determined how to fund your charitable giving program and how the gifts will be made, it’s time to figure out which organizations and causes you and your family would like to support. Professionals can help you review your interests and your options and put a program framework into place.

November 21, 9 AM January 23, 9 AM

10/20/14 2:15 PM

What started as a fun father-daughter activity in the backyard has turned into a rewarding pursuit for Kirkwood High School senior Elise McDonough.

Her dad always enjoyed playing golf and bought his daughter her first set of clubs. He was impressed by her swing and signed McDonough up for a CYC league in the fifth grade. She has been working to improve her game ever since.

“That’s my favorite thing about the sport,” she says.

“There is always something you can improve on every time you play. Chipping and putting always get me, so I continuously want to practice and get better. The good rounds make you want to keep going, and the bad rounds make you want to do better.” The 17-year-old says she often can be found at the driving range practicing her swing, and agrees that golf is something you have to play constantly to remain consistent. “Before the season started, the team practiced every day,” she says.

“And then we always practiced on the days we didn’t have tournaments or after-school matches.”

The hard work paid off. The team placed second in the State tournament, held at Twin Hills Country Club in Joplin. “There were five of us who made the team, and the final rankings were based on the four top scores,” she explains. This was the third year in a row McDonough qualified for State. One of her favorite accomplishments this year was winning her first high school tournament, the Lindbergh Invitational. “Our team won as well, so that made it extra special,” she says.

Even though the fall high school season is finished, McDonough will continue her trips to the greens to keep her swing in check, she says. She also participates in the spring season and plays weekly summer tournaments, which are mostly local. “I love all the courses in St. Louis, but my favorite one is in Cape Girardeau, the Dalhousie Golf Club. It’s one of the prettiest courses I’ve played, but it’s also challenging. The rough is really thick.” McDonough says she currently is talking to some college coaches and hopes to continue her success on the fairways after graduation.

OPEN HOUSE

CAROLINE POZO

Lafayette High School sophomore Caroline Pozo has been showing her skills on the tennis court since she was 4 years old. While it started out as just a fun activity, it already has evolved into an impressive high school career.

Pozo went undefeated this season in singles, and she and her doubles partner, Abby Carpenter, lost only one match.

She also won the singles Class 2 State Championship.

When asked about how it feels not to have lost a single match, Pozo plays it down. “It feels great, but I was always just focused on one match at a time, which makes it easier,” she says.

She accomplished both her goals going into the season: to win state (she placed second last year as a freshman) and to beat a fellow competitor after losing the match against her as a freshman. It’s obvious Pozo has a competitive streak and is always striving to do better. “I think my favorite part of the game is figuring out how to beat the other person, the logistics of it all,” she says. “You have to figure out what you’re doing wrong each match and what you can do to win.”

Since the high school tennis season just ended, Pozo will now focus on her league through the Missouri Athletic Club, which she has been involved with for almost a year.

“Through the MAC, I play in the Missouri Valley league, which covers Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Nebraska,” she explains. The players ranked high enough in their league compete at Nationals, which Pozo attended over the summer in California. Simply put, she says it was a ton of fun. In fact, ‘fun’ is a word that comes up often when the 15-year-old describes why she loves tennis. “It’s an interesting sport that requires a lot of focus,” she says.

“I’m really looking forward to playing in college; that’s another one of my goals.”

talk to… [ devin tockman ]

Crestview Middle School seventh-grader Devin Tockman might be young, but he already knows his dream job: to be a professional hockey player. The 12-year-old plays for the Chesterfield Hockey Association’s Falcons and manages to get time on the ice throughout the year to improve his skills and learn the game he loves so much.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING HOCKEY? Since I was 7. My dad taught me how to skate when I was younger, and I took some skating lessons.

DID YOUR DAD GET YOU INTERESTED IN THE SPORT? Yes. He played hockey in college and has been my coach since I started.

WHAT IS YOUR SEASON LIKE FOR THE FALCONS? It runs fall through spring; we play about 60 games in eight months and practice two to three times a week. We play some games here, but we also travel five to six times a year. We just got back from Nashville, where we won second in the championship game. I keep playing in the summer just for fun.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ASPECT OF THE SPORT?

I like to pass the puck around and like helping my teammates score goals. I play with kids from all over St. Louis, so it’s fun meeting new friends through hockey.

DO YOU HAVE A CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE END OF THE YEAR?

Every year we play against other teams in our league in the State tournament. Last year, we made it to the final game and lost 6-3. But we still won our league, which is based on a team’s total number of points throughout the season.

DO YOU PLAY ANY OTHER SPORTS? Baseball, golf and tennis.

Parkway students and staff raised money for the American Heart Association by participating in the Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops for Heart programs, which promote physical fitness and heart health. More than $66,000 was raised, with Mason Ridge Elementary School students netting $10,886, the seventh largest amount of the approximately 900 participating schools in Missouri.

Seventh-graders Jake Warren and Ella Rodman and eighth-grader Olivia Siegel were among the gardeners at their classroom plot in the Webster Groves Community Garden. The project-based learning activity pairs students with Master Gardeners from the Missouri Botanical Garden to cultivate and grow vegetables and fruits, which the students sold at the Webster Groves Farmers Market.

Throughout a six-year span, students participated in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s fundraising initiative, School & Youth, to honor fellow student, seventh-grader Luke Giunta (pictured). Giunta is now in remission from lymphoblastic lymphoma. Through the Pennies for Patients and Olive Garden’s Pasta for Pennies programs, they scraped together spare change, as well as participated in other activities. The initiative encourages students to support their peers battling cancer by hosting various fundraisers over a three-week period each year.

COVER STORY

STELLAR SERVICE THE MARKET PLACE IN LADUE & ????????????

CLAYPRICE SHOPPING CENTER

ALEKSANDAR JOVANOVIC by karyn meyer CONSIDERING ALL THE HEADACHES that can be associated with the they get some holiday shopping done.”

holidays—preparing food for the masses, traveling during a hectic time and yes, even dealing with hordes of family—buying for everyone on your ‘gift list’ shouldn’t be one of them. Lucky for St. Louisans, several shopping destinations are ready to simplify the process—and turn it into the joy it should be. The Market Place in Ladue and Clayprice Shopping Center provide amenities you’d never find at big-box stores: front-door parking, unique specialty merchandise and employees who know you well enough to understand your tastes and cater to them.

Owned and operated by the Cella family, both shopping centers live up to the reputation of the family name, which has been associated with local real estate for generations. Aleksandar Jovanovic, general manager and wine director at Truffles in Clayprice, says the center provides a true neighborhood atmosphere. “The philosophy behind the shopping center shines through the highly specialized, high-quality stores,” he notes. “It’s great to be a part of such an environment. The whole experience is simple and less hectic than other shopping destinations, and we take great pride in that.”

Jovanovic says the specialty stores at Clayprice fill a very small niche that can’t be found elsewhere. “You have Lordo’s Diamonds, which has been around for more than 50 years, and then Codi the Boutique, which offers fun, hand-designed jewelry,” he says. “Customers feel like they’re in a big city when they come to The Butchery, which has a unique Himalayan pink salt dry aging room. And there is no place like Sweetology. Parents can drop their kids off, ages 12 and up, to decorate cupcakes while

Each shop brings in specific items for the holidays, and Truffles will offer holiday specials for diners. “Clayprice is safe, convenient and features great local stores—that really separates the center from a big shopping mall,” Jovanovic says. “The whole experience is so much better.”

Sallie Kramer, owner of Sallie Home, echoes the same sentiments about The Market Place in Ladue, which her store has called home for more than 25 years. “This is unique retail,” she says. “All of the shops here are family-owned by St. Louisans, and each has its own unique concept.”

There are multiple advantages to shopping at The Market Place in Ladue for the holidays, or any time, Kramer notes. “Every store offers complimentary gift wrap, and being able to park right at the front door is a gift to the customer. And it’s a very personal shopping experience,” she says. Kramer points out that each business has loyal customers. “We know our customers and call them by name,” she says. “And we know their friends and family, so when it’s gift giving time, we can help them find the right items. At a big store, they just don’t care as much.”

The camaraderie among store owners in The Market Place in Ladue is beneficial to shoppers, too, as sometimes one shop owner may suggest items at another Market Place store. Each boutique offers different items, and the vendors tend to be familiar with what their neighbors carry. “We all support each other. My paycheck goes directly to the stores at The Market Place,” Kramer jokes.

very year just before the holidays begin, St. Louisans get a peek into some of the most stylish kitchens in the city—and all for a good cause. The fifth annual JDRF Heart of the Home Kitchen Tour, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Nov. 13, features 11 homes throughout the central corridor, from Clayton and Ladue to Richmond Heights, Town & Country and Kirkwood. “All the kitchens are so unique, and it’s just a fun day to be out with friends,” says JDRF development coordinator Laura Roeder. by stephanie zeilenga

This year's tour has a fundraising goal of $30,000, with proceeds benefiting JDRF's research to find a cure and treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Tickets are $40, and can be purchased online at tinyurl.com/jdrfkitchentour2014 or at any of the featured homes.

The kitchens will be decorated in a fall theme, and eventgoers can expect goodies at each location, including tastings from J. Gilbert's, Chaumette Winery, Straub's, Bistro 517, Katie's Pizza & Pasta, Mount Pleasant Winery, Piccione Pastry, and other local restaurants and caterers.

“There will be food in each home, so it's a different way

to go out to lunch,” Roeder says. “In one home we'll be selling holiday-scented candles and Healthy Cooking for the Diabetic Child, which includes tons of nutrition information and is great for anybody with diabetes.”

Due to space limitations, five additional kitchens are not pictured here. These are sponsored by Marc Christian Fine Cabinetry, DiPrimo Fabricators, Fusion Media Systems, Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath, Premier Plumbing Studio, The Jeweled Cottage, HD Media Systems, Granite Busters and Centorbi Cabinetry.

OF SETTLEMENT HOUSES AND NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS by stephanie zeilenga

SANTOS HOUSTON, A JUNIOR AT GATEWAY HIGH SCHOOL, dreams of being a

singer, or perhaps a fashion designer. By participating in TOP, a teen outreach program run by the Greater St. Louis Federation of Settlement Houses and Neighborhood Centers, he could get there.

Helping disadvantaged St. Louis teens achieve their goals and grow into productive, successful adults takes long-term commitment and determination, which is exactly what this group of seven settlement houses in the St. Louis region brings to the table by working together.

Formed in 2008, the federation—which includes Kingdom House, Grace Hill Settlement House, Neighborhood Houses, Youth and Family Center, Wesley House, Guardian Angel Settlement Association and the Lessie Bates Davis Neighborhood House—works to cultivate strong and productive individuals, families and neighborhoods. It is funded through United Way and a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health.

“All of the agencies have been operating for more than 100 years, but we haven’t always worked together,” says Jessica Brandon, president of the federation and executive director of Guardian Angel Settlement Association. “The whole idea of the federation is that if we pool our resources, we can achieve a lot more together than we can as individual organizations. And collaboration is so important now, because there’s never enough resources for us to meet the needs of the community.”

From its inception, the federation, with help from Wyman Center and United Way, has run 10 TOP clubs across the city. The TOP program is nationally recognized for its effectiveness in youth development and has been shown to impact participants’ academic success as well as prevent teen pregnancy and other risky behaviors. “It’s designed to help them grow into successful adults,” Brandon notes.

Civic engagement is a cornerstone of the TOP program and is cultivated through community service learning programs and an annual day of action and advocacy. “All the teens from our TOP clubs come together, and the day is about helping others in the community,” Brandon says. “It teaches participants about giving back, and also helps build character.” In the past, teens in the program have thrown holiday parties for young children, planned and painted a mural in a local daycare, collected canned goods and toiletries, and built a playground for middle school students.

The TOP clubs serve around 125 teens each year, and they wouldn’t exist without the federation’s collaborative efforts. “None of the agencies were doing this program before, because they couldn’t afford to hire someone to run it,” Brandon says. “When the federation’s partners came together, that became possible, and it ensures the curriculum is being implemented correctly and that we’re getting the desired outcomes.”

Another benefit of collaboration: a citywide approach to the work each agency might traditionally do on its own. “Teens across the entire city, and not just one area served by any one agency, are getting served by our TOP program,” Brandon says. “We’re making sure that regardless of which neighborhood you live in, you have access to the program.”

THE FAVORITES |

Cured Salmon, Roasted Apple Crepe, Fried Chicken, White Fish, House-made Salted Caramel Ice Cream

DAVE BAILEY HAS LAUNCHED his second Rooster restaurant in a onetime bank building on South Grand Boulevard, this one open daily for dinner. And I have to say, he’s outdone himself in the decor department.

It’s a Jetsons-like, midcentury modern structure, with three long rows of tables lined with metal Breuer-style seating. Each row extends from the windows facing Grand Boulevard to the back of the room.

The seating is ‘community-style,’ meaning you could end up being very close to other diners. That is in keeping with today’s foodie message: Dining is a social activity. And there is an emphasis on eating local, announced right on the front of server T-shirts, and on the menu with terms like ‘Missouri grass-fed beef’ and ‘Kaldi’s fair trade organic.’

While the breakfast menu is eggs-and-sausage heavy, for dinner, there are more standard options (in addition to a few breakfast-y meals). Starters include things like steak tartare and charcuterie, while entrees are downright hefty, with steak, fried chicken and Arctic char. I can heartily recommend the Cured Salmon ($11) appetizer, which is not lox at all, but a generous serving

of house-cured salmon fillet encrusted with coffee grinds and spices. It’s presented very attractively on a platter with rows of piped chive and turmeric cream cheeses, capers, diced tomatoes and diced red onion.

Served with crostini, the salmon was delicious: smoky, pleasantly dry-cured and well-flavored with rub.

Also good was our Goat Cheese Crepe ($9), a large, folded crepe filled with softened cheese, oven-dried tomatoes, mushrooms and basil leaves—good flavor and texture. And the Crepe Egg #4, filled with cheddar and deliciously browned potato wedges, was delicious.

My only complaint: wish there had been more egg!

An order of Steak Frites ($14) was good, but could have been great. The meat was to be ‘butcher’s choice,’ which that night was rib-eye—the baron of beef, as far as I’m concerned.

But it didn’t come sliced, the way I’m used to seeing this dish, and it had an annoying amount of fat (which would have been cut off if the steak had come sliced). Flavor was good, however, and the thin fries were deliciously seasoned and fried.

Stellar was the Fried Half Chicken ($16), served in a large bowl so you had to use your fingers. The chicken was

super-crunchy and moist—pure perfection, actually, and came with a tiny pitcher of maple syrup. Also excellent was the White Fish entree ($15), which had a buttery finish and a slight pan sear. It came accompanied by sauteed Swiss chard and crisp leek leaves, all anchored by a honey and red wine gastrique (sauce). The chard (and the previously mentioned potato wedges) spotlighted the kitchen’s penchant for salt—many would find the level used here too high—so speak up before ordering if you want little or no salt.

The evening’s least impressive dish, Monkfish Stew ($14), had a too distinctive clove-y flavor and way too much sweet potato in relation to the fish. Additionally, it didn’t seem like anything else was in there—misleading, considering stew implies variety.

Things got back on track with a sweet crepe, Roasted Apple, which was not only scrumptious but very well priced at $6. It had a heaping mound of sliced apples, which had been macerated in cider and sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar. Also delish: the house-made salted caramel ice cream—very creamy and sweet (and, of course, salty).

QUALITY COUNTS WEST COUNTY PLASTIC SURGEONS OF WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY by tony di martino

BREAST AUGMENTATION is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the United States, with more than 290,000 surgeries performed last year. “Some women just want to add a few curves; some come in for a ‘mommy makeover’ following pregnancy and breastfeeding,” says Dr. Marissa Tenenbaum of West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University. “Others opt for reconstruction following a mastectomy.” Tenenbaum and her colleague, Dr. Terry Myckatyn, both board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons, offer a full range of procedures to help women look and feel better—and the expertise to ensure the best possible outcome.

Advances in design and technology allow cosmetic surgeons to achieve beautiful, more natural-looking results than ever before, Tenenbaum says. Anatomically shaped (or ‘gummy bear’) implants, made of dense silicone gel, are designed to mirror a woman’s natural curves. “Traditional round implants have more volume in the upper breast area, but shaped implants have a gradually tapered slope, like a teardrop,” she explains. Allergan, Sientra and Mentor, three leading implant manufacturers, now offer FDA-approved versions. “Shaped implants aren’t necessarily better than round ones,” she adds. “It’s all about deciding what’s right for you, based on your body type and desired result.”

To help patients choose, West County Plastic Surgeons offers the VECTRA, a 3-D imaging system that captures a 180-degree image of the face, breasts and torso from many angles. “The VECTRA simulates how patients will look with various styles and sizes of implants, or with a breast lift and/or reduction,” Tenenbaum says. Recently added software also give patients a preview of rhinoplasty, chin implant and liposuction

results. “The simulations are quite realistic, so it’s a valuable tool that helps doctor and patient communicate,” she adds.

Not every patient’s skin is strong enough to hold an implant in position, Myckatyn notes. “Pregnancy, breast feeding, or rapid weight loss can weaken or stretch tissue, resulting in implants that droop or slip to the side,” he says. The SERI surgical scaffold, a new product from Allergan, bolsters weak tissue and holds implants in place. “Inserted during the initial augmentation procedure, or during revision surgery to raise implants that have fallen, the silk-based, mesh scaffold reinforces and stabilizes the area, removing pressure from the skin,” he explains. “The patient’s body slowly absorbs the material, which eventually is replaced by strong, healthy collagen tissue. So the support remains even after the scaffold is gone.”

Washington University is conducting ongoing studies on patient satisfaction with breast augmentation following VECTRA imaging and usage of the SERI surgical scaffold. “West County Plastic Surgeons is a phenomenal place to work,” Tenenbaum says. “We offer a patient-centered atmosphere, innovative procedures, and Washington University’s worldwide reputation for medical and research expertise. From the moment you walk in, it’s all about you—your comfort and safety, your confidence in your procedure, and your satisfaction with the results.”

WEST COUNTY PLASTIC SURGEONS OF WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IS LOCATED AT 1040 N. MASON ROAD, STE. 124.

Question:

Why does it take so long for me to get over my sinus infections, even when I am taking the same medicines as everybody else? Why don’t antibiotics work for me every time?

Answer: A sinus infection, or more accurately sinusitis, is not the same disease for every person. For many years sinusitis was thought to be an infection caused by bacteria and treated with antibiotics.

Sinus experts now know that the disease is really caused by inflammation of the lining of the sinuses and the nose. This inflammation appears because our body is responding to something foreign in our nose and sinuses, and is trying to get rid of it. Unfortunately, we don’t always know what causes the inflammation.

John Schneider, MD

Washington University Sinus Institute

For some people, the inflammation is temporary and just needs supportive care. For others, inflammation stays around much longer than expected and can cause pressure and pain in the face, thick drainage from the nose and into the throat, fatigue, difficult nasal breathing or a combination of these symptoms.

Also, because everyone has different nose anatomy, inflammation affects everyone differently.

People who have a deviated septum or other anatomic abnormalities can feel inflammation more severely. For some patients, the inflammation is difficult to eradicate, and it becomes more important to help manage the symptoms.

Treatment has to be designed to fit each patient, which can include antibiotics, nasal washes with anti-inflammatory medicine, surgery or combinations of these treatments.

schizophrenia & genetics

new hope for als

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE researchers have found that schizophrenia is not a single disease, but rather a group of eight genetically distinct disorders.

Reported online Sept. 15 in The American Journal of Psychiatry, the finding could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment. While analyzing genetic influences on more than 4,000 subjects with schizophrenia, researchers discovered eight distinct gene clusters that contribute to eight different classes of schizophrenia, each with its own set of symptoms. About 80 percent of the risk for schizophrenia is already known to be inherited, but until now, scientists have been unable to identify specific genes. “Genes don’t operate by themselves,” said C. Robert Cloninger, M.D., Ph.D., one of the senior investigators. “They function in concert, much like an orchestra. What we’ve done here after a decade of frustration in the field of psychiatric genetics is identify the way genes interact with each other, how the ‘orchestra’ is either harmonious and leads to health, or disorganized in ways that lead to distinct classes of schizophrenia.” The researchers identified 42 clusters of genetic variations that increase risk for the disease.

In findings published Oct. 26 in Nature Neuroscience online, studies suggest that the HEART DRUG DIGOXIN may be adaptable for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive, paralyzing disease also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It destroys nerve cells that control muscles, leading to loss of mobility and difficulty breathing and swallowing, eventually causing death. “We blocked the enzyme (that causes nerve cell destruction) with digoxin. This had a very strong effect, preventing the death of nerve cells that are normally killed in a cell culture model of ALS,” says senior author Azad Bonni, M.D., Ph.D., the Washington University Edison Professor of Neurobiology and head of the department of anatomy and neurobiology.

virtual care Mercy is putting the finishing touches on its new MERCY VIRTUAL, headquartered at 15740 S. Outer Forty Road in Chesterfield. Expected to open in mid-2015, the offices will serve as the Mercy hub for telehealth professionals to reach patients, regardless of their locations.

Mercy Virtual will house nearly 300 physicians, nurses, specialists, researchers and support staff, with care offered 24/7 via audio, video and data connections. “We are even closer to bringing high-quality medical care to thousands of patients regardless of the hour or location,” says Dr. Randy Moore, president of Mercy Virtual. “Time of day, distance and geography will no longer be obstacles in connecting patients and expert care teams.”

slu, a vaccine leader THE SLU CENTER FOR VACCINE DEVELOPMENT, which is funded by the National Institutes of Health, has been instrumental in developing numerous vaccines that protect public health and is currently working to develop a universal vaccine for influenza. The center’s expertise was spotlighted in the July/August issue of Missouri Medicine: The Journal of the Missouri State Medicine Association. “As evidenced by the current Ebola outbreak, there are no other potential world health problems that threaten massive death and illness as much as infectious diseases,” says Dr. John C. Hagan III, the magazine’s editor. Formed at SLU 25 years ago, the center had a hand in creating vaccines against smallpox, potential biological weapons post 9/11 and the FLUMist nasal spray. It also has worked on vaccines for tuberculosis, herpes, hepatitis C, Dengue fever, pneumonia, meningitis and pertussis.

COMBO SURGERIES

Especially popular with young moms and the more matronly (or patronly) alike, combo surgeries are the proverbial two-fer. They may not exactly offer ‘two-for-one,’ but they do come with other attractive features. For one thing, you can tackle two related problem areas at the same time.

And there are indeed some cost- and timecutting benefits. “Combining operations may allow for fewer down times and less time off work, so it is more cost-effective,” says Dr. Judith Gurley of Judith Gurley Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa. “It saves recovery time and operating room and anesthesia costs,” adds Dr. Michele Koo. “Any combination of surgeries is possible. It depends upon what the patient requests and whether it makes sense and is safe. Often an insurance-covered procedure is combined with a cosmetic one.”

MOMMY MAKEOVER

The procedures most requested by women are typically part of the combo known as ‘the mommy makeover’ (breast and tummy surgeries). “These have popularized the combining of procedures, but the concept has been around for a long time,” Gurley says. “Mommy makeovers restore two parts of the female figure at once to improve the damaging effects of pregnancy, nursing, C-sections, weight fluctuations and aging.”

The makeover also fits a combo criterion—location.

“These two body parts are close enough together that it makes surgery and recovery easy. The breasts and belly can both be operated on in the same surgical field and can be clothed easily for post-surgical recovery and protection.”

HAVE IT YOUR WAY

“There really isn’t a combination that cannot be done together,” says Koo. “The ‘makes sense’ part is the location of the surgery. Combination brow-lift, eye-lift and face-lift makes sense since I address the rejuvenation of the entire face. A complete face rejuvenation also can be performed with a breast lift or a breast augmentation.”

Combined facial procedures can bring enhanced outcomes, Gurley adds. “A combined approach can avoid the ‘operated on’ look. This involves maneuvers such as lasers for tightening, fat injections and fillers for plumping, and eyelid lifts for removing extra skin. These techniques can be done under anesthesia so there is no pain.”

Breast procedures are often scheduled with arm reductions or tummy tucks—the removal of excess fat and skin. “Breast reductions and tummy tucks are an excellent combination,” Koo says. “Breast reductions often are covered under insurance, along with an overnight hospital stay. The overnight stay can be used in conjunction with the tummy tuck, which is an elective procedure not covered by insurance.”

THERE ARE LIMITS

Surgery combinations should not require more than six to eight hours in the operating room, Koo says. Ideally, they eliminate an additional anesthesia induction, even if the time under sedation is longer. “Whenever anesthesia time is lengthened there is increased risk,” Koo says. “But as long as I determine it is safe given the patient’s medical history, the additional risk may not be significant.”

happy pretty While most beauty issues tend to be age-related, feet problems are the exception. It’s true that the older—and more traveled—your feet are, the more prone they’ll be to ‘issues.’ But even the young are at the mercy of foot pain and troubles.

NO PAIN, NO GAIN? The pretty shoes that giveth also can taketh away. Stylish footwear can exacerbate foot issues.

“Bunions and hammertoes can begin with genetic problems or trauma,” says Dr. Damon Hays of Hays Foot and Ankle Centers. “We sometimes see them in kids, but they really begin to manifest in the 40s and 50s.”

“These deformities may not be preventable, because you may be born with a genetic predisposition,” says Dr. Michael H. Horwitz of the Feet for Life Centers. “But you can prevent them from getting worse by keeping your feet strong and wearing shoes that are more minimalist, going barefoot more often, and not relying upon arch supports or supportive footwear.”

THE TRUSTED EXPERTS IN FOOT CARE UNSIGHTLY & UNPLEASANT “A bunion is a prominence or bump on the big toe joints that forces the big toe outward and is caused by a movement of a bone within the foot,” Hays says. “If you are born with a certain foot type, over time the joint unlocks and you develop a bunion. It can be exacerbated by shoe gear—high heels or anything pointy—or by trauma or chronic friction from running and athletics.”

Hammertoes are curled or buckled toes caused by imbalances between tendons on the top and bottom of the toes, Hays explains. “The lesser toes contract, and we often see bumps or prominences on the tops of the toes. They become very painful because of friction and are exacerbated by trauma or shoes.”

SURGERY OR NOT? Bunions and hammertoes are likely to be painful by the time their appearance becomes an issue, Horwitz says. “The American Board of Podiatric Surgeons approves surgical treatment for deformity, regardless of pain, but it is up to the surgeon to determine the most efficacious way to treat the patient,” he says. “We want to avoid surgery for the most part, and we want to use pain as the biggest indicator for doing surgery.”

TOENAIL FUNGUS “There are skin diseases and fungal infections of the nails that can make the foot ugly,” Horwitz says. “Fungal nails are not easy to treat; at least half the time it is a year-to-year struggle to keep it under control.” The popularity of boots, particularly the trendy, thickly insulated type, “is creating record amounts of toenail fungus and athlete’s foot,” he confirms, because “people are sweating in those all day long.”

EYE FRESHENING WHILE THE EYES MAY WELL BE A WINDOW TO THE SOUL, THEY'RE ALSO A LINCHPIN TO LOOKING YOUNG. AND AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, THEY'RE AMONG THE EASIEST THINGS TO FIX ON THE FACE.

T&S readers: LOOK at what’s coming up in HEALTH & BEAUTY WHAT GOES WRONG? “The eyes are the context of the whole face,” says Dr. Bruce Kraemer, a plastic surgeon at SLUCare and Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Dr. Mike Nayak of Nayak Plastic Surgery agrees. “If people ask you why you are tired, angry or sad when you’re actually well-rested and feeling fine, that generally suggests your eyes and brows are conveying a false sense of tiredness, anger or sadness,” he says.

Unfortunately, one of the first features claimed by age and gravity is the forehead, the overlooked culprit behind many droopy upper eyelids. “As we age we get jowls and the eyebrows head south,” Kraemer says. “It usually starts at 35 to 40 years of age. As the eyebrows come down, extra skin collects on the eyelids.”

“There are patients who have a familial or genetic baggy eyelid look,” says Dr. John Holds of Ophthalmic Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery. “I have operated on women as young as their early 20s.” The lower eyelids also droop and puff with age as wrinkles gather at the corners of the eyes.

314.657.2100

NOT JUST FOR WOMEN Last year 216,000 people underwent eyelid surgery, the third most-requested plastic surgery in the country, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports.

These operations, known as blepharoplasty, were the fifth most-requested cosmetic procedure for women (133,185), and the second most-requested by men (28,204). “We saw a wave 10 years ago when there was a lot of corporate downsizing. You didn’t want to be the sleepy-looking guy sitting around the table when your boss was going through reorganization,” Kraemer says.

Holds’ practice is visited by men ranging from high-level executives to union tradesmen, middle-aged to recently divorced. “I am surprised by the breadth of occupations and backgrounds,” he comments.

FIRST THINGS FIRST Non-surgical procedures may be sufficient. “Wrinkles due to muscle tone are best treated with Botox,” Holds says. “We also can get great results with laser skin resurfacing to tighten the skin.”

But when surgery is needed to correct droopy upper eyelids, the first step may begin above the hairline, where an incision is made while pulling up the forehead, Kraemer describes. “Sometimes when we put the brows back up where they should be, the eyes don’t have that droopy look.”

GET THE RIGHT RESULTS Eye freshening procedures are typically performed on both eyes during one trip to the operating room.

“It helps us keep them symmetrical,” Kraemer says. “A difference of only one millimeter from one side to the other can mean the difference between a good or bad result,” Nayak explains. “Eyelid procedures are among the least forgiving.”

The good news? These procedures earn high degrees of patient satisfaction, the doctors say. “Patients often report a 10- to 15-year improvement in their appearance,” Nayak confirms.

[ PROBLEM SOLVED! ] WINTERIZE YOUR BEAUTY BOX by dorothy weiner | photo by bill barrett

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN: when cold weather threatens to undo all the hard work we’ve put into achieving soft, supple skin. But we can keep those gains—and increase them—by replacing the lighter creams, soaps and lotions of summer with the workhorses of winter. Be diligent: deep cleanse the face, keep hand cream in your purse, moisturize the body after every shower and use only shea butter soaps.

NATURA BISSÉ DIAMOND RETINOL EYE SERUM

FOREO LUNA SONIC CLEANING

When it comes to the eyes, especially, turn to a brand you trust. Natura Bissé, from Barcelona, uses known anti-aging components like retinol, collagen amino acids and vitamin A to hydrate this most-sensitive of features.

Singled out by Elle Sweden for a 2014 Beauty Award, this device, similar to Clarisonic, promises to help you shed that unhealthy outer layer of skin. With regular use, your face will be smoother, softer and recapture the healthy glow of youth.

Not only is this cream, from local company Kind in Webster Groves, softening, but it also smells divine. Infused with vanilla, shea butter and essential oils, it will be your new best friend.

This luxurious body cream is lightly scented, so it won’t overpower you with aroma, but it will prevent that dry, itchy feeling the cold weather can create.

We might moisturize a couple of times a day, but we probably wash our hands at least a dozen. All the more reason to be careful about soap, especially in winter. With essential oils like coconut, olive, sol and sunflower, this one calls itself “the natural remedy for chapped & cracked skin.”

THE STEPS COVERING UP A COLD

by marylyn simpson FIGHTING SYMPTOMS

of a cold doesn’t always mean hot soup, cough syrup and long naps. Sometimes the peskiest cold symptoms are right in front of your face, literally.

Don’t settle for dealing with only some of your cold symptoms this winter. From cover up to lip balm, here are the steps for completely covering up a cold.

EYES: STEP 1

Your eyes are watering, they itch like crazy and the last thing you want to do is put on eye liner for your early morning meeting.

Start with eye drops. This will not only alleviate the itch and swelling, but will allow you to put on your makeup without it running down your face before you’ve finished your morning latte. Avoid eye liner on your lower lids, as it can further irritate the eye or cause infection. Use waterproof mascara and eye liner with neutral-tone eye shadow for a healthier, less watery appearance.

NOSE: STEP 2

Tissues can be your best friend and worst enemy during a cold. Yes, you need them, but you don’t need them to wreak havoc on your freshly powdered nose. Always use tissues with lotion to avoid any unnecessary redness and dry skin. If you can’t completely eliminate redness, apply a light layer of your moisturizer directly on the dry, irritated skin. Next, using a green color-correcting primer, dab a small amount onto your nose to camouflage the redness. Set with concealer and don’t forget to keep extra tissues (with lotion!) in your purse.

Plastic Surgery

talk

with Dr. William G. Hart, Jr. Choices following diagnosis of breast cancer Breast reconstruction is a physically and emotionally rewarding procedure for women that lost a breast to cancer. The creation of a new breast can significantly improve your self-image, self-confidence and quality of life. Surgery can give you a relatively normal looking breast, however reconstructed breasts will never look or feel exactly the same as the breast that was removed.

Breast reconstruction is a highly individualized procedure. There are a number of options open to women depending on their diagnosis and discussions with their surgeon and oncologist.

Lumpectomy and radiation can sometimes leave a significant difference between the treated breast and an untreated breast. These differences can be adjusted depending on the patient’s desire. The breasts can be augmented, reduced or lifted to achieve greater symmetry.

When a mastectomy is recommended the patient can elect to go ahead with immediate reconstruction. Frequently reconstruction can be achieved with a tissue expander and subsequent permanent implant. This can be performed even when radiation and chemotherapy are planned after the surgical procedure. If the mastectomy is performed without reconstruction and radiation is required then secondary reconstruction may require the use of a flap. The back and the abdomen are the most common donor sites. It is not uncommon in unilateral mastectomy and reconstruction to have to do something to the opposite breast in order to achieve symmetry. This may require enlargement or breast augmentation, Mastopexy or lifting of the breast and or breast reduction. These usually can be combined with one of the stages of the tissue expander or flap procedures so that no additional surgery may be required.

In some situations a bilateral mastectomy may be recommended in high risk patients. Depending on the size of the breast and the desire of the patient tissue expanders will often work well in this setting. The expander can be placed at the time of the mastectomy and then serially inflated to the desired size, this is then followed by a second stage for removal of the expander and placement of the permanent implant. Nipple reconstruction can be performed at a later date under a local anesthetic as an outpatient. Generally tattooing of the nipple areolar complex can then be performed in the office.

Usually most reconstruction can be performed in six months to a year.

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

LIPS: STEP 3

This is one of the trickiest cold symptoms to cover up. A cold sore is never attractive and can be a pretty visible sign of cold.

Before grabbing your lip balm and concealer, you may want to consider buying a new one or the drug store equivalent. You don’t want to run the risk of re-infection, but you can also opt to apply your concealer with a lip brush. Again, make sure it stays clean and wash it after every use during your cold.

Apply a moisturizing lip balm and let it seep into your lips for about 10 minutes. Next, using your clean finger tips or brush, apply the concealer directly on to the cold sore. Let it set and reapply if needed. If it has already scabbed over, it’s best to leave it alone and not apply any concealer. Apply a light-toned gloss or moisturizing lipstick to even out your skin tone. Stay away from bright colors to avoid any unwanted attention to your lips and mouth area. Remember, when it comes to fighting a cold always wash your hands, especially before and after applying makeup.

by karyn meyer listing price | $670,000 listing agent | alyson hall of redkey realty leaders KELLY HALL CALLS HERSELF A FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT FANATIC. She has a deep appreciation for his ability to blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces. So when she and her husband came across a house on Robyn Road that was inspired by the famous architect, it was love at first sight.

“We weren’t even looking to move,” Hall says. “We had a nice home just 3 1/2 miles away. We were asked to be part of the National Hosta Garden Tour the following year, and our garden was ready to go. We were just driving around, looking at houses for fun and found this one.” The two were impressed with the secluded, quiet property of 2.69 wooded acres, and after walking through, wrote a contract and got the house within 24 hours. “It very much fit our personality and entertaining style,” she says.

“And we’re big hosta gardeners, so all the shade was perfect. We dug about 500 plants and trees from our old house to put in the new garden for the tour!”

The more than 30 large windows are some of the standout features of the house, according to Hall.

“The living room has floorto-ceiling windows on three sides, so you feel like you’re outdoors in a treehouse. It’s a beautiful space to watch the seasons change.” Another one of Hall’s favorite features is the kitchen, which the couple completely renovated, along with the home’s bathrooms. “I was able to make it my dream kitchen, so I was thrilled with how it turned out,” she says. It features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a slate blacksplash and stainless appliances, including a Viking six-burner range.

The home’s location, just minutes from the conveniences of South County and the surrounding area, was also a big selling point for the Halls. “You’re so close to everything, yet you’re in the woods, and it’s so private and quiet,” she says. In fact, INTERIOR PHOTOS: MARLO MYERS OF ATG DESIGNS neighboring homes can be seen only in the winter, when the trees are bare. “It’s a unique home. We didn’t want something cookie cutter or builder-grade,” she says. This house offers something special.”

It had always been a goal of Hall and her husband to move to the Seattle area, so when his business expanded territories, their dream finally came to fruition. “It was hard giving up the house,” she says. “And wasn’t easy finding something out there with the same ‘coolness’ factor.”

lways with an eye toward improving the space they have, rather than adding square footage, the Chestertons have done a lot to their Ladue home in the 12 years theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived there. Their goal was to create a casual comfort that makes family and guests alike feel at home, so Beth Chesterton has filled the space with eclectic touches and meaningful mementos.

T&S: Tell me about some of the renovations.

BETH CHESTERTON | Next to the kitchen, we took a laundry room, closets and a bathroom and reworked it all to make it more functional. We turned it into a space that includes a bar area, a small office, laundry room and bathroom. Since everyone likes to hang out in the kitchen, we made that part of it. We did the same thing with the space between the kitchen and the family room.

T&S: What's your favorite room?

BC | The butler's pantry. I keep candy and waters, little bottles of Coke and Diet Coke or whatever people might want to drink there. People who come to our house know they can always get a treat there. I also love our family room, because we've got these huge windows, and it truly feels like you're connected to the outside. And I used to hate the living room, because it wasn't connected to anything else, but now I love going there to escape. Every other part of our home is about being connected, but the living room is about getting away to read, relax by the fire or have an intimate conversation.

T&S: Did you use an interior designer?

BC | Elizabeth Glazer recently helped us with the specific selections of cabinets and furniture. And Paul Doerner was our architect. He loves making spaces more appealing, livable and aesthetically attractive.

T&S: What are some favorite pieces of artwork?

BC | We love maps. Paul's grandparents went to Jamaica for their honeymoon in the '20s, so we have their maps from that trip, and that's how we started collecting. We also found these old paintings of ships and sailboats in Paul's great-grandparents' belongings. The frames were all beat up, but instead of replacing them, we just cleaned them up. And the books in the living room are all from Paul's great-grandparents as well. On the living room mantel I have a box of fans from my grandmother, who collected them. They're not displayed, but I know they're there. Most things in our house have meaning, and if they don't, the focus is on comfort.

T&S: The back patio is fabulous. Do you spend much time there?

BC | We do. It's right off the kitchen. What's neat is, if I look one way from the kitchen, there's the family room, and the other way is the patio. We recently hosted a birthday party here, so we had people in the family room watching baseball, another group sitting at the table playing Monopoly, and a third group outside where we had a bonfire going. It's not a big house, but it can feel big because there are lots of spaces where you can have separate groups, and they all flow together.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: The Chesterton home; The family room’s windows let in plenty of natural light; A map from Paul Chesterton’s grandparents’ honeymoon in Jamaica; The recently remodeled shed in the backyard; Paul & Beth Chesterton

T&S: Tell me about the shed in your backyard.

BC | It's very prominently placed in the yard, and it used to have a flat roof. If you're in our house in the kitchen or family room, all eyes are on the shed. I started thinking about how great it would look with a better roofline, so we put thick, cedar shake shingles on it. Then we changed the windows and installed a barn door. After that, we thought it would be great to turn it into a usable space. So this last year, we gutted it, added windows on all sides for ventilation, and put in floors to make it this really cozy place. It's great for conversation, hanging out with friends or reading a book. It reminds me of people I knew growing up who had a neat summer house that was so enchanting. So this to me is a miniature version of that home, where you completely disconnect.
