FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
the faces behind the scene
I HAVE SET A GOAL THE PAST FEW YEARS TO GET ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE FOR FACIALS. And every year, I have failed. I manage to stay on
top of pedicures, even in the winter, but a lot more people see my face! Maybe I feel like it is just one more add-on to my already pricey list of hair and nail appointments, but really, taking care of my skin should trump everything. It wasn’t until I got a little older that I truly realized that what I do (or don’t do!) with my skin now will affect how I look later. While I won’t be one to wish away all wrinkles or demand I look 30 when I’m far from it, I do want to maintain healthy skin … and prevent any noticeable aging that I can. Our health feature this issue, Skin Care by the Decades, is something worth tearing out for a reference. I pushed to have such a resource in the paper because it is so helpful. It addresses what you should be doing for your skin care routine each decade. And there is one thing that remains a constant through them all. Can you guess what it is?

We also have another very helpful resource in this issue: Learn & Play is a guide to only some of the fabulous camps, classes and activities in the StL for kids that let the little guys do just what the headline suggests. We feature the athlete, acrobat, animal lover, techie and more. As a working mom of two, the long stretch of no school approaching (saying the word ‘summer’ causes my heart to beat faster) seems overwhelming every year. What should I sign my kids up for? Can the nanny handle two camps in one week? What would they both love? This guide is a great starting point; I hope you flag activities like I did when I read it!

powerful thing, and every community benefits when there is a place to nurture the arts. For more than 30 years, COCA has enriched our community by encouraging the creative potential of people of all ages, ability levels and backgrounds. As one of the largest community arts centers in the entire country, COCA is a leader in arts education. “Each year, we provide $1 million in free programming, scholarships and support services,” says executive director Kelly Pollock. “Our goal is to make sure the arts are accessible to all students regardless of income.” This mission wouldn’t be possible without COCAcabana, the nonprofit’s largest annual fundraising event. Pollock says COCAcabana is known as one of the most exciting and unique parties in St. Louis. This year, the event will be held April 20 at The Ritz-Carlton, and the theme is Show Your Stripes, an appropriate reflection of COCA’s EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KELLY POLLOCK AND BILL BRADLEY OF ANHEUSER-BUSCH inclusive philosophy, according to Pollock. “In addition to stripes being a hot fashion trend, it captures our spirit and outlook,” she says. “We accept individuality, show creativity and celebrate the diversity of this city. The theme encourages people to be their best selves and express what that means to them.” Guests can look forward to some amazing experiences, like live music from FatPocket and performances from COCA students. ‘Table One’ also is returning for the third year. The exclusive VIP ticket option for 10 includes special amenities like a one-night stay at The Ritz-Carlton. “We also have an exciting live auction,” says Virginia Howell, major gifts officer. Guests can bid on a trip to New York to visit the showroom of Louisa Rector, owner of the clothing line Mestiza and a COCA alumna. “There are so many incredible experiences—tickets to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Frozen on Broadway, a trip to a dude ranch, a getaway to a private home in Palm Springs, and Super Bowl tickets for next year,” Howell says. “There is really something for everyone!” An early incentive raffle included tickets to Hamilton at The Fabulous Fox, featuring COCA alumna Yvette Lu. As it has been for the past eight years, Anheuser-Busch is presenting sponsor. “Our ongoing support of COCA speaks to the great work that Kelly Pollock and the entire COCA team do to enrich lives and build bridges in the St. Louis community,” says Bill Bradley, vice president of community affairs at Anheuser-Busch. COCA has a fundraising goal of more than $850,000 for the event. “COCAcabana is a critical element of our success each year, and the money raised helps support student scholarships and education programs,” Pollock says. “We really do rely on the generosity of the community to support our efforts.” This year also marks some very exciting growth for the nonprofit, which is expanding through its Create Our Future campaign, a $40 million plan to double the center’s physical space. The first phase of renovations is beginning now, which means that for the first time in many years, COCAcabana has to be held off-site. “It still will be a signature COCA event and live up to its reputation as one of the most creative parties in town,” Pollock says. “We’re transforming The RitzCarlton to express our creativity and flavor.”

Let’s not forget other heroes, like teacher Aaron Feis, 37, an alum and coach shot to death at Parkland as he tried to protect his students. Whose names will be etched forever in your minds?

WASH U. 〉〉
Acting on an anonymous tip Feb. 19, Wash. U. authorities confiscated an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and handgun belonging to a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity chapter. The student was suspended; the chapter, already on probation for hazing allegations, was closed down. Reportedly, someone noticed the unnamed student on social media in a photo, holding the AR-15 with the fraternity flag in the background. Was a tragedy averted? Thankfully, we’ll never really know. But when I read the news, the face of Emma González, 18, popped into my head. From the overwhelming media attention, you likely know her as a vocal young woman who survived the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida, where a troubled teenager with an AR-15 murdered 14 other students and three teachers. Imagining González’ face astonished me because, unfortunately, after too many other horrendous school shootings, I’ve remembered only the names and faces of the gunmen. For years. It troubles me that I still remember the name of a 1999 Columbine shooter ... the Sandy Hook shooter’s name ... the shooter’s name on Valentine’s Day. This time, it’s different. Survivors are being heard. This is good for all of us. González et al. represent a sea change in the national consciousness. Today, I see many other faces and remember other names from the student body and their friends and teachers. In Washington and Florida, furious and heartbroken parents, students and teachers confronted their elected officials about working toward common-sense reform of gun laws. They called out those who have received significant NRA contributions. In tears, high school senior Sam Zeif told President Trump about losing his best friend, Joaquin Oliver. Zeif reminds me of my son, Henry. Anthony Borges, 15, took five AR-15 bullets through the door he held shut to protect about 20 classmates inside … grievously wounded, he faces a grim recovery. At the White House, the president also heard Sandy Hook mom Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan, 6, was killed in 2012 in Newtown,

MARCH 7, 2018
The aged white oak is a gigantic, gnarled specimen of arboreal glory—so big, it should have its own ZIP code. As a senior citizen itself, it should feel right at home in an area dotted with retirement communities. It commands a hillside next to Rosewood Care Center, 11278 Schuetz Road, and is the only remaining denizen of a once-wooded area being developed into Dolan Memory Care Homes, an 11-acre, $15 million project. Within a few hundred yards is Autumn View Gardens, an assisted-living community; less than a mile away is Covenant Place on the Millstone Campus of the Jewish Community Center. The big tree is estimated to be between 150 and 200 years old, and at this writing, a Google satellite view of 11278 Schuetz, pre-Dolan, shows the tree standing just outside the one-time woods, where there appears to have been at least one more very big tree. Let’s say this tree with a busted-off top is at the upper end of the age range, which means it was an acorn in 1818. In that case, we’ll name it Beth in honor of Elizabeth Kortright Monroe, who was First Lady to our fifth president, James Monroe. It’s very possible that some of Beth’s descendants still live nearby, knowing a little about how squirrels operate. Plenty probably remain throughout neighborhoods in the area, much of which is unincorporated county. So let’s assume many of Beth’s offspring are doing just fine, thank you … wherever they are. We have to applaud Dolan for preserving the yuuge old tree, when all too often developers take a scorched-earth approach … from big-box stores and mini-malls to condo complexes and McMansion residential
neighborhoods, they cut everything down and plant scrawny, pitiful replacements. Sad.
FOREST PARK 〉〉
Free beer! Now that we have your attention, the nonprofit conservancy Forest Park Forever and the City of St. Louis will host a free event next Wednesday (March 14) from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center in Forest Park. During the gathering, emceed by Fox 2’s Jasmine Huda, park officials will fill in attendees on the latest happenings at the park and answer questions. Now, about that free beer: You’ll be able to sample complimentary Forest Park Pilsner from Urban Chestnut … oh, and frozen custard from Shake Shack. There will be information and activity stations led by Forest Park Forever, the city’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry, park destinations and partners such as Great Rivers Greenway and Shakespeare Festival St. Louis. New this year will be a special section for families to learn about summer camp opportunities. Door prizes will be given out throughout the program, courtesy of several park destinations.
EUREKA 〉〉
The new county library branch planned in Eureka has received a $100,000 donation from McBride & Son Homes, earmarked for the St. Louis County Library Foundation. The library has purchased a 3.5acre parcel from Six Flags at 500 Workman Road for its new Eureka Hills Branch. A master-planned McBride development, Arbors of Rockwood, will be within walking distance of the new library, as well as a new elementary school. Meanwhile, the library will continue operating in its current locale during construction. It’s a throwback, of sorts—in a leased space of 6,500 square feet at 156 Eureka Towne Center, it occupies a one-time Blockbuster store. What’s a bored kid in Eureka to do nowadays? Read, for one thing … but only after the homework is done. Of course, he or she could hit the library for

either/or. Plus: Hey, kids! There are movies on DVD, too. For free! You had to rent or buy them at Blockbuster. But what about video games? Well, to find out, why don’t you look up the library online or call them? You know, on the telephone? Starting now, you’re just going to have to do some things for yourself. And clean up your room. (This mess is a place, you say? Don’t get smart with us!) Um, weren’t we talking about the new library? Ahem. Architects will be selected through a competitive bid process beginning next year. Construction is set to begin in 2020, with completion in summer 2021.
THE RIVERFRONT 〉〉
What’s in a name? Well, does the word salad ‘Jefferson National Expansion Memorial’ just not roll, mellifluously, off of your tongue? ‘Gateway Arch National Park’ does, though, don’t you think?
Whatever its name, the metro’s shiny centerpiece is held in high esteem by folks on either side of the Mississippi, whether Missourians or ‘Illinaliens.’ It’s still four words, but we think these select four really raise the bar for us, both nationally and internationally. Legislation to change the name was introduced in the U.S. Senate last summer. It was passed by the Senate on Dec. 21, 2017, and by the U.S. House of Representatives on Feb. 7, 2018, and President Trump signed the bill into law on Feb. 22. (What’s more, as shown, the logo has been updated.) Nobody can miss the stainless-steel-clad catenary curve, 630 feet tall, from miles around. It etches memories in your brain, no matter where you’re going to or coming from, or when. My first view of the monument is a highlight of my 1974 interstate trip from Georgia to Colorado. (But for the hitchhiker I picked up in Kansas, it was a solo trek. Otherwise, I’d have fallen asleep at the wheel somewhere across the pancake
that is two-thirds of that state … of which a teenager could one day be governor!) I felt like stopping on the bridge, which I now know is the never-not-underconstruction Poplar Street Bridge, for a snapshot with my Kodak Instamatic. The park was named Jefferson National Expansion Memorial long before the Arch (completed in October 1965) was a silvery gleam in Eero Saarinen’s eye. I hope they’ll sell ‘Gateway Arch National Park’ bumper stickers, caps and souvenir felt pennants in the gift shop of the spiffy, new-andimproved museum at the base of the Arch. It’s slated to reopen July 3, with the whole kit and caboodle being readied for Fair St. Louis. Now, if you think the metro is Jefferson-deprived, just drive a little farther west to Jefferson Avenue. Still not satisfied? There’s a great statue of our third president, seated, in the Missouri History Museum. Carved from a single block of Italian marble, it’s almost 20 feet tall.

Getting over the pain of a divorce Stange Law Firm, PC
A divorce is one of the most difficult experiences anybody will have to endure. For many, it was a long time coming. There might have been disputes and marital discord for a long time. For others, the divorce was more sudden. It could be that events escalated quickly, which lead to an unexpected divorce. Either way, the divorce process is terribly difficult for most. Many wonder how their marriage results in divorce. Many wonder “what if?” as they look back in terms of their marriage. Some wonder how they can best get over the pains of divorce. Below are some tips that many should consider: Counseling: For most parties who
have gone through divorce, seeing a counselor can be an enormously helpful experience. A counselor can help you deal with the emotions involved with the divorce and help put the pieces back together. Focus on the future: When many have gone through a divorce, some can get stuck in the past. As best as possible, focus on the future. Focus on how to make positive change in your life moving forward. Focus on your kids: If there were children born of the marriage, even if the marriage itself did not work, you have wonderful children. Focus on putting their best interests first. Inevitably, this will help bring your life joy and purpose. Putting away feelings of anger: Many can feel bitter or even angry after their divorce. This can be particularly true if the divorce was acrimonious and
adversarial. As best as possible, focus on the positives coming from the marriage, do not dwell on the negative and try not to be angry. Stange Law Firm, PC limits their practice to family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, guardianship, adoption, juvenile matters, collaborative law and other domestic relation matters.

A GLIMPSE AT WHAT’S GOING ON AROUND ST. LOUIS AND BEYOND.
SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY alumnus and trustee Dr. Richard Chaifetz ▶ (pictured) and his wife, Jill Chaifetz, are adding their last name to more major institutions at the school. They recently pledged $15 million to the Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business and the Chaifetz Center for Entrepreneurship. More than a decade ago, the couple made a $12 million lead gift to jump-start construction of SLU's Chaifetz Arena.
I DON’T KNOW IF IT'S MY AGE or because I have to
write a column every week, but sometimes I can’t find the right words. Or worse, I realize I’ve used the same word three times in a paragraph. Sure, I was ‘happy,’ but certainly I can come up with a better way of saying it. So I love it when I run across underused words. A friend sent me a list recently, and I’m sure you see them on your Facebook feed or in magazine articles. Some are so good that we need to start using them now. I’ve always wanted to be a trendsetter. Will you help me? Slugabed (noun) – a lazy person who stays in bed late. We could call this person a loafer or a layabout, but slugabed is so much better. This word perfectly describes me! To be honest, I love my bed. It is the most comfortable place in the house, and if I could conduct all of my business in my PJs from under the covers, I would. Lanspresado (noun) – a person who never has any money or always 'forgets' his wallet. We all have that friend: When the check comes, he checks his pocket and exclaims, “Oh no! I guess I left my wallet on the dresser.” Next thing you know, you are covering the entire bill. Though, with the invention of Apple Pay and Venmo, it is almost impossible to pull off this trick anymore. So start using this word now before it's too late! Snollygoster (noun) – a shrewd, unprincipled person, especially a politician. I know, I know, I should not bring up politics in this column, but I must say, if someone used this as an insult in a political ad, I would totally consider voting for him, regardless of his party or platform. Philogrobolized (adjective) – hung over but refusing to admit you had a drink. I didn’t even know a word existed for this condition. I thought you were just a liar when you did this, but now I know differently! Oh, how I wish I had heard about this word in my youth. Frobly-mobly (adjective) – indifferently well. How many times a day does someone ask you, “How are you?” and you respond, “Fine”? Not anymore. From now on, you are frobly-mobly. I really think this word could take off around here if we make the effort. I can see T-shirts with the phrase: 'St. Louis is so much more than frobly-mobly.' OK, I need to work on the tagline, but you get it. Fudgel (verb) – to pretend you’re working when you’re not. We’ve all done it. You’ve probably done it today. There are times when you just need a break. You check out Instagram or see what’s new on Huffington Post, but you act as if you are deep in thought or reading an article on an important topic from The New York Times. Twattling (verb) – idle talking, chattering. No one wants to be accused of gossiping even though most of us love to dish a little dirt. Twattling sounds pretty darn harmless, though saying the word gives me the same reaction as saying 'moist.' Try it. Let me know if it works for you. So will you help me reintroduce these words into our vocabulary? I can’t promise you any sort of compensation, but I can assure you some quizzical looks from everyone who hears them.

EXPLORING ART AND CULTURE When the temperature drops, I find myself heading out to explore the wonderful cultural institutions in the area. Visiting an art museum in the dead of winter puts me in a happy place. I only wish I had more time to travel and explore more collections around the world. Imagine my joy when I came across Google’s Art and Culture site and app, which lets you view incredible artwork from across the globe while sipping a glass of wine in the comfort of your own home.
➧ The Google Cultural
Institute created this resource with an initial focus on making it easy to study collections in depth. They curated events by combining documents, pictures and video to make an immersive experience. When you’re in a virtual museum, you can look at images based on popularity, time and color. Using the same technology that Google Maps uses for Street Views, you can ‘walk’ through The Museum of Modern Art in New York or experience the Taj Mahal without the long flight! And it offers institutions multiple resources and tools, too.
➧ One of the more fascinating

GET TO KNOW WASSAN AL-KHUDHAIRI
chief curator, contemporary art museum st. louis by julia m. johnson | photo by bill barrett
CAM’s new chief curator, Wassan Al-Khudhairi, knows what it means to bring global insights to one’s professional endeavors. She has lived, studied and worked on more continents than many people have visited. Her broad experience gives her a variety of perspectives as she researches, develops and oversees the changing installations that make their way through the museum. Al-Khudhairi specializes in Middle Eastern art and is called on often to jury exhibitions and give lectures in other cities. She just moved to St. Louis last summer, but already is making herself at home in the Gateway City, designing innovative ways to enrich people’s lives through art.
ABOUT ME …
WHERE I’VE BEEN …
WHAT I PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH …
THE LOCAL ART SCENE ...
My parents are from Baghdad, and I was born in Kuwait. We emigrated to the U.S. in 1989 before the first Gulf War. I studied art history at Georgia State University, then attended The American University in Cairo. I have a master’s degree in Islamic art and archaeology from the University of London and participated in the Getty Leadership Institute for museum professionals.
I came to St. Louis after three years as curator of modern and contemporary art at the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama. I was the founding director of Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar, which opened in 2010. I also was a curator of the Gwangju Biennale contemporary art event in South Korea and have worked for the Brooklyn Museum in New York City.
My role is to envision new programs for CAM, but it’s not something that happens quickly. It takes a lot of slow integration, but we have a wonderful space that’s very open and malleable. I want to continue the museum’s exciting legacy, organize exhibits that are relevant to people here, and bring visibility to artists who don’t have a presence yet.
Before I moved here, I didn’t realize there was so much support for culture in St. Louis. Organizations like the Regional Arts Council and Pulitzer Arts Foundation have made a real commitment to funding artists, their work and arts education. It’s been a really great surprise that St. Louis organizations commit as much financing and time as they do. CAM works with the Gateway Foundation on the Great Rivers Biennial exhibition and awards three artists $20,000 each. And in the summer and fall, we invite artists to create exhibits on a special project wall at the museum, with viewing hours so the public can watch and learn about their work. It’s a great chance for underrepresented artists to get a first showing. We’re all about making the creative process transparent and accessible; artists shouldn’t be mysterious people working alone in dark rooms!
ABOUT MY DEVELOPMENT …
Originally when studying in Egypt, I wanted to be an anthropologist, but then I became interested in contemporary art and bringing attention to work that didn’t yet have a platform there. We think of Cairo and other Middle Eastern cities as centers of ancient art, but there are many wonderful contemporary artists working there, too.
MY PHILOSOPHY …
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT ST. LOUIS …
The art museum, history museum, botanical garden and zoo are amazing! I love that so many attractions are free here. And smaller arts organizations and galleries in neighborhoods like Cherokee Street offer such a great, energetic vibe. I love interesting little spaces that pop out of older buildings in the city’s historic neighborhoods. I live in Botanical Heights, so I can walk to a lot of great spots. I also enjoy the Central Library—I walked into the atrium for the first time recently and was amazed at what a beautiful resource it is. Even the airport has great public art!

WHAT I ENJOY …
I’m still figuring St. Louis out, but it’s been fun exploring the city. I go to Rise for coffee on the weekends or before work, and I love Turn on Locust—it’s close to work, so I can zip over easily. A friend visited recently, and I took her to Olio; the bartenders are great there. I’m a vegetarian, so I love places like Lulu’s Local Eatery as well. When it’s warmer, I go for long walks in Forest Park or Tower Grove Park—the green spaces really pull me in. And I love going to estate sales and visiting dealers; I’ve discovered that St. Louis is a great city for midcentury modern design. I also enjoy reading and spending time at the library and Left Bank Books.
Contemporary art is meant to reflect our times, so I like to think about artists in their local contexts and consider the issues they are dealing with now. I want to involve them and the public in conversations about art happening elsewhere in the world, examine similarities and differences, and make the gap in understanding much smaller. And I like that we can do that instantly now. A creative idea that’s on your mind here in St. Louis also might occur to someone in Tokyo, and you can help them see it through a local lens.

Students at the Kirkwood grade school celebrated literacy during World Read Aloud Day, which emphasizes the importance of reading in a child’s development. Reading to kids every day puts them almost a year ahead of their peers, according to the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research. Clayton High School senior Sophie Bernstein is one of only two Missouri student volunteers to receive the 2018 Prudential Spirit of Community Award, which honors middle and high school students for service to others. In the past six years, Bernstein has planted more than 35 community gardens in lowincome areas and hosted 175 workshops on plant science and nutrition. Visitation Academy senior Mary Hilton was a top runner-up for the award, raising more than $55,000 for SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital.
Senior Reagan Becnel received an honorable mention from the National Center for Women & Information Technology for its Aspirations in Computing Award. Each year, girls in grades nine through 12 can compete, and this year, there were 3,600 participants from around the country. Julia Wang, who graduated in December, was named a Top 300 Scholar in the 77th Regeneron Science Talent Search. She was one of only four Missouri students chosen for the honor after competing against 1,800 participants nationwide. Wang developed a sensor that can track a person’s pulse and body temperature while exercising. &

FORSYTH. THERE’S NOTHING LIKE IT.
SPRING BREAK OR BUST! by dr. tim jordan LET’S BEGIN WITH FULL DISCLOSURE: I think parents
of early adolescents should go downstairs periodically during parties to deliver food and remind kids of your adult presence. I think it’s reasonable to talk to parents holding a party to be sure there will be no alcohol served and a parent present. I would never, ever allow teens to drink at a party in my home. Finally, I would never allow high school seniors to go on spring break without adult chaperones. Let me explain my reasoning. The adolescent brain has an increased reward drive, an increased activation of neural circuits utilizing dopamine and an enhanced dopamine release, all of which cause teens to gravitate toward thrills and risky behaviors. The awareness of negative outcomes of dangerous situations and behaviors is overridden by the greater focus on positive rewards, i.e., the rush. This increases when teens are in the presence of their peers or when they believe people will observe their actions; think social media. The prefrontal cortex helps us think before we act and helps control our impulses, but it’s not fully developed until about age 18 to 20 in girls and the early to mid-20s for guys. Therefore, teens are wired to do stupid things. Until the prefrontal cortex is fully mature and teens have enough experience and wisdom under their belts, adults can function as a kind of external prefrontal cortex to keep adolescents safe. It doesn’t matter if your teen is a mature decision-maker; at a Florida beach with thousands of young adults driven by dopamine and hormones, even the best kids can quickly get in over their heads. When high school seniors argue that they will be away at college in six months doing whatever they please, I would respond that after seven months away at school, they will be more ready to handle the temptations of spring break. Hopefully they will have learned how to take care of themselves and their friends, so that their experience is fun and safe. It’s fine if your teenager doesn’t like my ideas. Your responsibility is to be a parent, not a best friend. With age and life experience, your children someday will look back and thank you for stepping up and setting boundaries.

Like a lot of people, I had donated to different charities and volunteered at school events for my kids, but I wanted to be more hands-on and give my time instead of just my money. I investigated several different organizations to find one that could use my help in St. Louis. Jan Wacker, the development director, invited me for dinner at one of the houses in Boys Hope Girls Hope’s residential program. I got to meet the kids and some of the
people who work there. I liked how well thought-out the organization was, and it seemed really well run. My work for Boys Hope Girls Hope is pretty straightforward, but it allows me to donate my abilities and time. What kind of volunteer work are you involved with? I drive kids to school. My carpool is four kids who go to three different schools. It’s not difficult, but it’s great to have time with the kids face-to-face, and we do have fun. One morning, I picked the kids up after it had snowed. While I was taking them to school, I asked if they were going to go sledding later. They told me they had broken all of their equipment during the last snowfall. We stopped on the way
IN THE WORDS OF BOYS HOPE GIRLS HOPE: “Roger has religiously been prompt and available to drive our scholars to school three mornings a week. The morning driver job is inglorious, but he takes it in stride, arriving with a smile and encouraging words for the students. Roger is essential to making our mission possible.”
and bought a few sleds for them to use after school. They were psyched, and it was a nice little deviation from the usual run. If you could do anything for the organization, what would it be? I always wish there was a way to help more kids. I would love to put Boys Hope Girls Hope in a position to increase its capacity. It actually did so a couple of years ago, and the nonprofit is always moving forward because it’s so organized. Still, I would love to see more expansion so it can help more youth.

H&M has 521 stores around the country and touts its affordable fashions and focus on sustainability.
REDUCE, REUSE, RENEW THE RITZ-CARLTON ST. LOUIS is doing its part to
go green. The luxury Clayton hotel has completed the first year of a program that reduces its carbon dioxide emissions and focuses primarily on composting in the facility’s stewarding, in-room dining and banquet divisions. In the program’s first 11 months, 415,000 pounds of unused foods were brought to a facility in Belleville, Illinois, to be mixed with yard waste and allowed to decompose. The resulting product is sold to St. Louisarea homeowners and landscapers to help boost soil nutrients.

SHELBY FENSTER & SIMON BRETT
1 0/7 /1 7
by julia m. johnson | photos by lisa hessel A SORORITY SISTER OF SHELBY FENSTER’S AT SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY had a feeling she would get
along well with Simon Brett, and the friend’s instincts happily proved correct. “I was graduating and looking for a job, but he still had a couple of years left at school when I moved to Nebraska for work,” says Shelby, a St. Louis native. “We had a long-distance relationship for a while, but it was meant to be!” Simon moved west to join her after he graduated, and the pair were engaged in August 2016. They chose the recently renovated St. Louis Union Station for both the ceremony and reception because of its unique style and atmosphere. “Simon is interested in architectural design, and we especially loved the Grand Hall,” Shelby notes. “It’s already such a beautiful space that you don’t have to do much to it. That was the kind of vibe we wanted for our big day.” The ceremony took place in the Gothic Corridor, which features ornate ceilings, glazed tile and other historic touches. “It was sweet and intimate,” Shelby says of the wedding. “We felt so relaxed and comfortable walking down the aisle, surrounded by friends and family.” A cocktail reception followed in a room beneath the Grand Hall before guests adjourned upstairs for the big party. The couple had pipe and drape set up to create a ‘reveal’ as everyone stepped into the majestic space. Later, they enjoyed one of the venue’s special light shows. To surprise the newlyweds, their parents flew to Los Angeles earlier in the year and had a choreographer create and teach them a dance routine for the reception. “Simon’s mom and dad came all the way from London,” Shelby says. “They all put a lot of work into it! We feel blessed that our parents get along so well. It’s really symbolic of our strong family unit.” Shelby attended Lafayette High School and is an anchor at KOLN-TV in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Simon works for Nebraska Wesleyan University.

To get the inside scoop, we asked Parkway North sophomore Maddie Sass for her expertise on what will be found on the dance floor.

TOWN] by dorothy weiner
WE ALL KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE
in the world live lives very different from our own, ones that include poverty, hunger and illiteracy. We sympathize, but often do little more than write a check. That’s what makes the actions of a group of St. Louisans all the more remarkable. Five women— connected through their association with the Clayton School District—have brought hope to a small community in Guatemala. “It’s really just corrugated shacks set up in an abandoned railroad right-of-way,” explains Claytonian Betsy Wack, one of the founders of El Salitre Women’s & Children’s Center. The year-old workshop, daycare and soup kitchen already has reaped rewards for its inaugural participants, women so poor that until the St. Louisans came along, they could feed their children only one meal—every other day. It all started when longtime educators Linda Henke and Lee Ann Lyons were in Guatemala working on a literacy project. They noticed that the children of El Salitre stopped attending school around third grade to watch their younger siblings so their mothers could go into Guatemala City to look for day work. The idea of a women’s cooperative was born. The pair reached out to their friends—Betsy Wack, JoAnn Kurland and Barbara Kohm—and together, they devised a plan to help impoverished women learn a skill (sewing) in a sheltered environment (the center) where they could also keep an eye on their youngest children.

F20 The nascent project also is helping those beyond El Salitre. The first things the women learned to sew were cloth menstrual kits the Peace Corps distributes to poor rural girls so they don’t have to miss school every month, Wack says with pride. The whole idea is to pay it forward. “We anticipate these women will train the next batch of women,” Wack explains. Each participant keeps her earnings, $20 a day (a small fortune), except for $2, which goes back to the coop for operating costs. The women are now experimenting with making decorative pillows, aprons and girls’ dresses to market at Guatemalan tourist centers. The American group (which has grown by five additional women from Santa Fe, where Henke now lives, and two other St. Louisans) hopes to someday see a freestanding center run entirely by El Salitre women. After all, the Americans can’t keep making biannual, weeklong trips to Guatemala indefinitely. Or providing meals for the workshop’s women and children during their visits. Or paying for the raw materials used in sewing— all at their own expense (except when they find the occasional donor). “We hope in 10 to 15 years, we’ll become irrelevant,” Wack says. Wack can be reached at ewack7@gmail.com. F4|

they also can cause serious pain and other health problems if not corrected. To provide relief for patients with this and other blood vessel conditions, SLUCare doctors are offering modern treatment options in a pleasant, comfortable new space in Richmond Heights. Vascular surgeon Dr. Matthew Smeds says varicose and spider veins are some of the more common conditions SLUCare physicians treat on an outpatient basis at the recently refurbished University Tower office. “It’s a very comfortable space that is centrally located, so it’s convenient for patients from all over the area,” he notes. “Our physicians are board-certified in vascular surgery, and we have the resources and knowledge to provide a full range of services.” Smeds works with Dr. Michael Williams and advanced practice nurse Karen Gregory to assist patients at the office. They are planning a free screening for vein conditions April 10, and registration is available at slucare.edu/vein-screening. “Varicose veins happen when the greater saphenous vein in the leg becomes dilated because its valves aren’t working,” Smeds explains. “Blood pools in the wrong direction and causes soreness, a feeling of heaviness, fatigue and other symptoms. It also causes the vessel to bulge and twist.” Factory workers, retail employees, teachers and others who spend a lot of time standing on hard floors often get the condition. Smeds says varicose veins can be removed with laser or radiofrequency ablation, or a new treatment called VenaSeal that SLUCare soon will offer. VenaSeal uses an injected medical adhesive to close off and collapse the affected veins. “It has some definite advantages, such as fewer needle sticks, very little discomfort and no need for post-procedure compression stockings,” Smeds says. Bluish-purple spider veins are a cosmetic condition that SLUCare practitioners also can treat easily in DR. MICHAEL WILLIAMS PROVIDES MINIMALLY INVASIVE VEIN TREATMENTS. the office. “Spider veins don’t cause any symptoms, but they’re unattractive,” Smeds notes. “They often show up on the legs or face. We inject them with an agent that causes them to shrink and disappear.” Like varicose veins, spider veins are most common in women and are likely hormone-related, Smeds says. Madelyn Cardin of Jerome, Missouri, says varicose veins had been plaguing her for about three years when she went to see Dr. Williams. “My legs felt very stiff and heavy,” she explains. “It felt like I was walking around with a block of wood on each foot.” She was experiencing fatigue and other troubling symptoms as well, and Williams recommended endovenous laser ablation. Cardin had her right leg done first and scheduled the left leg for a later date. “It wasn’t painful—it felt like small bee stings at most,” she says of the treatment, which is delivered via a catheter guided upward through the vein. “I was on my way home in less than an hour. I felt fine walking around and didn’t have any bruising or discomfort afterward. I was very pleased with the procedure and would recommend it to others. The SLUCare staff really made me feel like a priority.”

IF YOU’VE NEVER BEEN TO ONE OF THESE GAMING BARS, it’s fun just to have the experience of
unfettered competition amid a sea of people doing the same thing. Opened in the former Westport Cinema, the cavernous space has been transformed into an appealing bar room in front, with foosball and shuffleboard tables and a view of a bustling kitchen turning out tacos, skewers, pizzas, sliders and mostly bar fare. The back room is where things really let loose, with ping pong, bocce ball, shuffleboard, darts and some of the biggest TVs I’ve ever seen mounted high and mostly featuring sports. There is also a karaoke area upstairs, and it’s the only activity you have to pay for. Now you may think this is mostly a guy thing, but you’d be wrong. Plenty of women were testing their skills, and everyone was just having an all-around good time. There is a lot of fried food, but there are some sleepers on the menu that go beyond the usual pub grub. We tried a few starters under the ‘Shared’ header. The Lobster Ravioli ($12) was the best of the bunch, with large pasta pockets filled with a creamy lobster mash and served on top of a very nice garlic pomodoro sauce. Alas, the ravioli was heavily breaded and fried, which overpowered the delicate lobster filling and completely engulfed the pasta shell. But they were tasty nonetheless. It’s hard to mess up Bavarian Pretzels ($9), yet the ones here lacked the thick, doughy consistency of soft pretzels, and the Empanadas ($9), which had a tasty wild mushroom filling, were simply too greasy on the outside. The bigger dishes offered more satisfaction. Both slider plates were good and plentiful. The Hot Chicken ($10) had white meat nicely fried and dosed with ‘Calabrian’ sauce, a hot spread that added a little bite. The Pulled Pork ($10) was especially good, with a tangy vinegar slaw, fried onion straws and delicious, slivered pork. Both platters had three mini sandwiches on them, adding up to a hearty serving of food. Also tasty was the Shrimp Roll ($11), listed under ‘Plates.’ It was crustless bread, oiled, toasted and filled with fried shrimp, vinegar slaw, chopped tomato and a creamy, smoked tomato aioli. On top were some sprigs of fresh dill that added just the right savory punch. We also tried the Fish Tacos ($9), which came with cod instead of the much-discredited tilapia. It was OK, but needed some oomph, like a tomato salsa or some other spice. For dessert, the Funnel Cake Straws ($6) were something new and different. Served as sweet ‘fries,’ they were strips of fried funnel cake batter dusted with powdered sugar, and were surprisingly good. & F6|

MOVIE
game night »
The last Rachel McAdams movie I saw was Mean Girls in 2004, so I was curious about her screen presence as an adult character. I was impressed! In this film, she plays Annie Davis, a suburban newlywed who is just as addicted to game nights as her husband, Max (Jason Bateman). They often get together with friends, but the action ramps up when Max’s shady, uber-competitive brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) rents an expensive home nearby and brings trouble with him. He sets up a frenzied murder-mystery evening of bad guys, FBI agents, fights, car chases and more, but it’s hard to tell what is real and what has been staged by Brooks. Annie is pretty badass, which is fun to watch. She does some impressive defensive driving, takes out attackers with a fire extinguisher and stitches up Max’s arm in an alley after accidentally shooting him. Other female characters are interesting, too. The couple’s friend Ryan (Billy Magnussen) usually brings dates who aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, but on the big night at Brooks’ house, his companion is Sarah (Sharon Horgan), a smart Irish woman who jumps into the craziness with both feet. There’s also a clever plot twist involving the couple’s creepy next-door neighbor, Gary (Jesse Plemons). All in all, the film is good for an adrenaline rush.
SHOULD YOU SEE IT?
Yes, it’s funny and has some exciting action scenes.- J.J. VIEWED AT AMC ESQUIRE 7
TV
» chelsea does... Netflix. If you are not a fan of Chelsea Handler like
me, skip this series. I really miss her late-night show Chelsea Lately, but her comedy is not for everyone. In this four-part docuseries, she takes an in-depth look at specific topics and tries to gain a better understanding of what they mean, from Silicon Valley to marriage. I love her humor and abrasiveness, and she asks questions of experts that I wish I could. Oh, and she takes her dog Chunky with her everywhere. Gotta love that.
BOOK
» the last black unicorn by Tiffany Haddish. I had no idea who this
comic was until I saw her on Jimmy Kimmel telling stories about making a movie in New Orleans with Jada Pinkett Smith. Her hilarious description of taking Jada and her husband on a swamp tour using Groupons made the book worth reading. She had a tough childhood, but there is something wrong with you if you don’t laugh out loud when you read her book.
APP
» sandbox. My 14-year-old son showed me this app, and I instantly was
‘drawn’ to it. It is a virtual color-by-number activity that is very relaxing. Sure, I also play solitaire and Words with Friends, which involve a bit of strategy and keep my mind sharp, but Sandbox is nothing like that. The designs are unique, fun and addicting. There is a paid version with more design choices, but I have found the free one to be enough. MARCH 7, 2018 | townandstyle.com

BY THE DECADES
SKIN CARE BY RICK STOFF
20s
30s
Use acne and pigment products as needed. Nightly cleansing and antioxidant vitamin serum are theonlyrecommendationsnow, Koo says. “People are too busy in this decade to take care of theirskin,somyphilosophyisto simplify to the bare minimum.
AT THIS AGE, IT'S ABOUT PREVENTION.”
- DR. KOO
Use sunscreen.
40s
Welcome your wrinkles!
"THIS IS THE AGE TO KEEP FINE WRINKLES TO A MINIMUM AND PREVENT THEIR TRANSFORMATION INTO DEEP WRINKLES." - DR. KOO
Use a gentle exfoliating cleanser appropriate to your oil-control needs. Applyaretinoidtoprevent wrinklesandultravioletlight damage. Regularlyuseahyaluronic acid moisture barrier to maintain plumpness and radiance.
Aging mechanisms under the skin's surface are emerging in this decade, Carr says.
"WE START TO LOSE VOLUME, AND SUBCUTANEOUS FAT, BONE AND EVEN MUSCLES START TO ATROPHY." - JACKIE CARR
You can treat dynamic wrinkles with Botox or address subsurface areas with dermal fillers to give structure to the face and make it more youthful. Microdermabrasion or chemical peels can take off dead skin and help new skin generate faster. The efficiency and ability of skin cells to fight environmental damage declines, Koo says.
“THIS IS THE DECADE FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.”
- DR. KOO
Cleanse with a gentler, creamier product to maintain the skin's natural oils. Apply a retinoid cream that is more buffered and of appropriate strength to begin repairing environmental and UV damage, to prevent wrinkles from forming and keep pores tighter. Think about pigment control to prevent age and sun spots. Antioxidant serum and sunscreen continue to be important.
YOUR SKIN CARE NEEDS ACCUMULATE WITH EACH DECADE.
N
eglect at one stage multiplies into future issues. “The condition of your skin in your 50s and 60s depends on whether you were taking care of it and staying out of the sun in years prior," says Jackie Carr, nurse practitioner at PUR-ONE Medispa. "For each decade, sunscreen is the No. 1 product to slow the aging process and protect you from skin cancer.” Dr. Michele Koo, a plastic surgeon in private practice, agrees. “Even in young adulthood, when the skin fares pretty well on its own, there are three things to remember: sunscreen,
50s
sunscreen and sunscreen, in 40 SPF and up!" Age-appropriate skin care delivers the most natural and appealing results, Carr says. “You will feel good about yourself if you look as good as you can at every age,” she notes. “There is a lot of over-filling going on—no one wants to be a 60-year-old trying to look like a 20-year-old because that doesn't necessarily make you look more youthful. It's OK to have some lines and wrinkles!”
60s+
"IN LATER DECADES, SKIN BECOMES DEHYDRATED MORE EASILY AND CAN GET FLAKY AND DULL." - JACKIE CARR
The sebaceous glands, which secrete skin oils, may be overproducing and enlarging pores, so do a deep cleanse with products that keep pores clean. Skin is becoming even more lax. Try to keep the collagen stimulated so it can be a better support structure for the underlying surface of the skin and reduce wrinkles and lines.
Koo prescribes continued use of all of the previous products with some modifications:
Increased pigment control is essential unless the skin and hair are fair and sensitive.
If the skin is still oily, the cleanser needs adjustments.
Inaction is not an option. In this decade and up, skin is dry, damaged and inefficient. Skin care is all about repair and replenishment with continuous ongoing maintenance.
Your blend of retinoid depends on skin damage, sensitivity and thickness.
Sunscreen is a must every day, even if you are never outdoors or near windows.
Use an antioxidant serum of medical quality with the purest of vitamins so inefficient skin cells will absorb and use the vitamins to rebuild the scaffolding of younger skin. According to Koo, all of the above products are no longer optional!
Skin products need to be made of the purest ingredients in appropriate concentrations. An antioxidant serum should be more concentrated in vitamins to repair damage and work as building blocks for cells and collagen.
CLEANSE THE SKIN WITH A GENTLE, CREAMY LOTION OR SCRUBBING LOTION TO PRESERVE ESSENTIAL SKIN OILS. Retinoid of increased concentration may depend on the damage and texture of the skin and pores.
Use a moisture barrier, especially in bitter cold winters and high altitudes.

ADULT ACNE
Z
its are the pits at any age. Most people pay their acne dues during adolescence, but why do some face the heartbreak in adulthood?
THE FACTS According to Dr. Urvi Patel, a dermatologist at Washington University School of Medicine, classic oily skin acne occuÂrs when pores get clogged and the body reacts to it with inflammation. Clogged pores are caused by lifestyle and what we put on our faces. Typically, hormones stabilize in our 20s, and our skin doesn't make as much oil. Seventy to 80 percent of teens are likely to experience acne, and Patel says beyond adolescence, the incidence is about 30 to 40 percent.
70-80%
MOST TEENS ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE ACNE.
Genetics play a role and allow skin to continue to make oil even when hormones have balanced out. Patel says some people, especially women, have hormone fluctuations that cause acne into adulthood, even as late as their 60s and 70s.
HOW TO TREAT Over-the-counter skin care products can ward off milder outbursts of acne, Patel says. Prescription creams can decrease oil production and calm the skin. In severe cases, oral medications are used. Current treatments are much improved. Patel explains that topical creams are now gentler on the skin, so they can be used more often. There are pills to attack inflammation, and some decrease oil production and get to the root cause of acne. Seeking treatment is important because acne is more than a skin issue; it can affect you psychologically. Patel notes that there are higher rates of depression in people with acne.

GLOWING SKIN
A
nything that glows looks exc eptional and extraordinary. "Light can be absorbed by fine lines, large pores and pigment in your skin,” says Carol Anderson, certified aesthetic nurse specialist and owner of Nouveau MedSpa. “The smoother your skin, the more radiant it will be."
NUTRITION “Putting good, nutritious food in your body is reflected in your skin," Anderson says. Susie Lynch, licensed esthetician at the Women's Laser Center of St. Louis, agrees. "Eating healthy and clean keeps your skin healthier," she notes. "The chemicals in processed food can affect your hormone balance, which can affect how much oil your skin produces and ultimately how it looks.” Excessive sugar and alcohol in your diet can break down the collagen that supports facial tissues, and excessive caffeine is dehydrating, Anderson adds. "Hydration is extremely important,” she says.
FLUFF AND BUFF "If you hydrate skin that has lines, large pores and sun damage, you won't glow," Anderson says. Lynch suggests sticking with a good skin care regimen. “Wash your face every morning and night,” she says. “As you age, treat your face with antiaging serums that restore vitamins destroyed by sunlight. Our ability to produce collagen decreases as we get older, so a serum or tablet with Vitamin C helps your body produce collagen." Exfoliation clears dead and flaky skin cells, Lynch adds. Some products can be used several times a week, while others should be limited to weekly use. "Having a facial at least once every other month really cleans the pores and makes sure the products you are using are able to penetrate the skin,” she says. “Don't over-exfoliate, though, because your skin cell production can't keep up." Anderson says using quality products at home really does matter. “Antioxidants and sunscreen make a difference," she notes. "And always put Vitamin C on your face—it acts as a brightener and protects you from the sun."
Created by Dr Koo, a female plastic surgeon, who truly understands skin structure launched in January of 2017. Her products are small batch, hand crafted, high performance medical quality products made in the USA without any animal testing.
DR. MICHELE KOO SKIN CARE is based on decades of her own patients' 80-90% improvement in their skin imperfections. Her scientifically based formulations lessen wrinkles, pigment imperfections, acne, pores and the effects of sun damage.

OUTDOOR EXTENSIONS〉〉 One of the hottest trends is turning outdoor spaces into bona fide extensions of your home, even if it’s just a terrace, screened porch or garden shed. The concept is to make every space in your home work with your lifestyle. Here are some incredible ways to make the outdoors just as cozy as inside!
CREATE A ‘GREEN ROOM’ with plant borders, pebble flooring and tree lights. CURTAINS MAKE ANY SPACE feel like a room, especially when closed! GARDEN SHEDS can convert to ‘his and hers.’ This man cave is perfect for poker.
TURN A BASIC SCREENED PORCH into a kitchen/dining area for dinner parties.
A TWO-SIDED FIREPLACE lights up both spaces and creates a wall to define a room.
CREATE A WATER FEATURE and pool alternative for kids of all ages! RETRACTABLE SCREENS are a great way to use one space in two very different ways.
FOLDING OR SLIDING GLASS walls combine outdoor and indoor spaces seamlessly. PLACE OUTDOOR FABRIC over your pergola to create a room for your soiree.

The best thing about color in 2018 is that we are seeing a lot more of it. As a designer who loves to use color, I am ecstatic! My favorite one trending this year is violet. I love deep, rich shades, but I’m also a fan of more pastel hues.
PHOTO COURTESY OF MARCIA MOORE DESIGN
Pair violet with another 2018 trend—sofas in bold colors. If the purple family speaks to you, then you will have no problem going bold with an entire sofa in this color. A big statement sofa is the perfect choice for adding life and drama to a room. Not ready for such a bold move? If you want to quietly work a new color into your design before making a big commitment, try adding a few pillows or painting an accent wall. Both are easy to replace if you change your mind. Powder rooms are one of my favorite spots for playing with new colors and ideas. They are the perfect place to step outside your comfort zone and be bold! Small spaces are easier on your pocketbook up front and easier to change out in a few years. One wallpaper trend now is very large, bold florals. Encase your powder room in wisteria, lilacs or purple irises, and top the look off with black and white everywhere else. Add a floral-scented candle for aromatherapy to match the walls. Your guests will be impressed! —MARCIA MOORE, OWNER MARCIA MOORE DESIGN
Pantone named Ultra Violet its 2018 Color of the Year, and it’s easy to see why. This fresh shade of purple instantly adds drama, interest and depth to any room. But a little goes a long way, and we recommend that our clients use the color sparingly or as a focal point in an otherwise neutral color scheme. PHOTO: ALISE O’BRIEN PHOTOGRAPHY

HOMEWORK: t i d e r DEAR HOMEWORK,
c a r t ex
We recently purchased a ranch home built in 1959. We’ve cleared much of the larger trees and plants from the front of the house and plan to remove the smaller bushes when it warms up. We would love some input on how to give our home a face-lift. We want to bring the front of the house back to life and make it more current. Can you help? Sincerely,
newade shee tr

−LONG WAY TO GO
DEAR LONG WAY TO GO,
When the façade of a home is as long as this one, it needs some vertical counterpoints to add balance and interest. While the front-facing gable helps a little, it leaves out the entry and ultimately fails to give the accent needed. We need to do some major work at the center of the composition. There are two logical style directions for these updates. The first gives the house a European country look, which would require changing things all along the façade. The second continues the Colonial feel that it already has, which probably would be less expensive.
For this version, you will notice new, hipped roof elements that extend far above the existing gutter line, featuring big, bold window openings. A new chimney breast carries the eye up even farther. To the right of the new entry, two new French doors with Juliet balconies and arched transoms change the original Colonial look. To the left of the dining room, a lowered element adds charm to the garage section. A new slate-look roof and whitewashing the brick underscore the European theme. For this rendering, I have removed the central tree to show the new composition. I also show a new, curved, brick retaining wall and a new shade tree to the left of the dining room.

For this scheme, you will see that I have raised the height of the living room ceiling and added a chimney between the windows. To the right of this, a raised brick entry porch with a wide ‘spill’ of stairs and bold wing wall draws new attention to the entry door. New brick planter walls at the living and dining rooms add additional height to the composition. The new circle drive further enforces the prominence of the center of the composition, which is aided by a new brick retaining wall at the curb. All of these changes result in a much more balanced presentation. Because houses like yours occupy such large lots, they often are targets for being torn down. These two designs give new life to this style of home. Sincerely,

FIXER-UPPER Follow the old adage: Location, location, location! It’s more than just knowing what area you want to live in, according to Christy Thompson, an agent with Janet McAfee Real Estate. “You’ll want to find a good school district if you have kids, and have good proximity to restaurants and retail,” she says. “Picking an area that appeals to a wide variety of buyers will add value and increase the buyer pool, which is important for resale—whether you are flipping or staying put for a while.” Pay attention to your neighbors, or at least their houses. “You don’t want to over-improve because you won’t see a return on your investment if you do end up selling,,” Thompson says. She suggests avoiding raising the value of a property more than 15 percent over the median sale price. “Make sure renovated houses are selling well in the area, too,” she adds. Inspect for the things that will cost you. Before the property is yours, make sure you know as much as you can. “Check the electric, structure, plumbing and sewage,” Thompson advises. “You may not be factoring those into the renovation budget, and they can end up costing you a lot of money.” Set your budget and stick to it. “Don’t underestimate the true cost of renovation,” Thompson says. “Assess the condition of the house, add up the costs and subtract the total from the likely market value to decide if it’s the right place for you.”
Tips for Buyers B Y S T E P H A N I E WA L L A C E
HOMES ARE UNIQUE EXPRESSIONS OF THEIR OWNERS, and the buying process is often just as individualized.

OLDER HOME
NEW BUILD
Look for both charm and history. St. Louis is full of beautiful, older homes, and some neighborhoods even have historic significance. “This adds a level of excitement,” says Sabrina Robb of Robb Partners, a Keller Williams Realty St. Louis affiliate. “You get amazing architectural and craftsman detail with a sense of history. Homeowners feel like caregivers who are preserving something important.” She suggests looking in the Central West End, University City and Clayton neighborhoods like Brentmoor Park and Ellenwood. Experience matters. The inspection of an older house is going to be key. Robb says to find an inspector who has experience in both the area and older homes. “Working with both an experienced agent and inspector will help you navigate the process,” she says. “They can help put things in perspective and determine what needs to be addressed immediately and what is longterm maintenance.” Plan for the unexpected. It’s important to have room in your budget for extra or unexpected expenditures. Robb points out that the house may have a slate or tile roof that requires yearly maintenance, or it may have outdated or even original systems like boilers. “Home warranties are available for buyers and homeowners to assist with unexpected expenses,” she says.
Prepare for competition. “It’s a super-competitive market,” says Stephanie Connell, an agent with Gladys Manion Real Estate. She explains that the real estate market in St. Louis is strong, and that means more people feel confident enough to tackle building their own homes. That increased interest is coupled with competition from builders. Know your neighborhood and city building restrictions. It’s important to be as prepared as possible if you’re thinking about buying a teardown property or new lot. Different towns and neighborhoods have specific building restrictions. Connell suggests working with an architect early in the process, so you know exactly what house you want and can ensure it will follow all guidelines where you want to build. Build a relationship with a ... well, builder! “They have an edge on the whole market,” Connell says. “They know the setbacks and restrictions and can help guide you through the process.” Think your home might be a teardown? Odds are someone else does, too! Connell says it’s not uncommon for builders to knock on doors or write letters to express interest in buying properties they think are good options. “To guarantee you get what your land is worth, it’s best to work with a realtor,” she says. “It ensures the property is advertised to the public and not just builders.”
