[ letter from the editor ]

Yesterday I saw a smartphone case that reminded me Mother’s Day is almost here. It showed a couple of women and the words: ‘Walk faster, the kids are catching up.’ Maybe not your typical motherly response, but an understandable one. While I love to have my children descend, I mean stay, at the house, when your kids (and their kids) live thousands of miles away, reunions mean you’re together 24/7.

In theory, this is a wonderful thing: a family all together, the way life is supposed to be. In practice, I’m still trying to find all the bath towels and water glasses I started out with before The Visit. In particular, the Bodum double-wall tumblers. I guess I shouldn’t have called attention to them by saying, ‘Please don’t use those glasses.’ Next time I’m going to find a better hiding, I mean storage, spot for them.

Then there is the disorder that just naturally accompanies five or six extra people in a household used to two rather quiet adults. I can understand a couple of rambunctious grade-schoolers wanting to bathe in the jetted tub, for example. I can even understand them ‘accidentally’ spilling the liquid soap into it to see how high the bubbles get (answer: very).

What I don’t understand is how a 5- and 7-year-old can leave more dirt in a drained tub than a coal miner. Or, for that matter, how they get entire handprints all over the grand piano. I thought that happened only in cartoons.

Come to think of it, a family gathering is a little like a cartoon. The activity level is hectic, the characters behave erratically, and you always want to turn down the volume.

built on love] RONALD McDONALD HOUSE by tony di martino

As a major pediatric medical center, St. Louis has some of the best children’s doctors in the world. But even the most skilled surgeon is no substitute for the healing power of love. When a sick child cries out in the night, there’s no mistaking what it means: I need my mommy or daddy. That’s why, since 1981, Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis has provided a home away from home for more than 40,000 families of children who travel here for medical treatment.

“We offer shelter, home-cooked meals, and a warm, community-style environment for families of seriously ill kids,” says RMHC president Dan Harbaugh. “Being surrounded by caring volunteers, and by other families who are going through the same thing, strengthens parents for whatever the next day brings. With their basic needs covered, moms and dads can be there for their children, calming their fears and making sure they heal.”

Three conveniently located Ronald McDonald houses serve more than 1,750 families a year from all over the world. RMHC also offers eight extended-stay apartments, used primarily by families of young transplant patients, and family rooms at Mercy, St. Louis Children’s Hospital and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. “The rooms are equipped with snacks, showers, laundry facilities, a TV and other amenities,” Harbaugh explains. “They’re an oasis for some 12,000 families each year, allowing them to escape the hospital environment for a while.”

And the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, a traveling eye care unit, provides free eye exams and glasses for more than 2,000 underserved kids annually.

The financial hardship that comes with having a severely ill child can be overwhelming, especially when families must move elsewhere for medical treatment. “We’re aware of this burden, so families who stay at a Ronald McDonald House pay no more than $5 a night, and the fee is waived completely for families who can’t afford it,” Harbaugh says.

“Thanks to the generosity of St. Louisans, we’ve been able to keep our costs down. We never turn a family away.”

RMHC relies on donations to keep its doors open. A major fundraiser, the annual DTZ/RMH Golf Tournament & Dinner Auction, takes place May 31 and June 1 at Meadowbrook Country Club. The event is co-chaired by Scott Bazoian of commercial real Ronald McDonald House hosts more than 1,700 families annually from all over the world. estate firm DTZ, and Steve Fahrig of Schnuck Markets. DTZ serves as title sponsor. “The event generates about 25 percent of our annual operating budget,” Harbaugh says. “Every dollar raised stays in the St. Louis area.”

Families appreciate having a refuge during a stressful time. “The help you provide to those in need is an incredible blessing,” says a mom whose daughter underwent a lung transplant. “The volunteers were so kind and helpful, and the other families were a wonderful support system. After a peaceful night, we were able to return to our daughter’s side and fight another day. Thank you for welcoming us to the house that love built!”

About the club A good excuse to get together for a glass of wine was one reason Top Shelf Book

Lakeside Retirement Living

Group was established in 1997—that and a love of reading, of course. Kathleen Gund, Jennifer Woodworth and Lisa Brenner, three of the original members, wanted to get other young moms in the U. City neighborhood together to talk about their favorite books and enjoy a night out.

“It has branched out from just being a neighborhood thing,” says member Clare Brady, who joined in 2003. “And it’s often books I would never pick up, so it’s a great way to really stretch your mind.” Since most members are also parents, the group has included several juvenile fiction books based on what their kids are reading, which has created lively discussions. “Kathleen keeps a file of what we want to read, and we choose as a group,” Brady explains. “We always pay attention to page count and the number of copies at the library.”

They meet the first Monday of most months and rotate among members’ houses. “Once a year, everyone hosts and leads the discussion,” Brady says. “We all have varying opinions, and we always come whether we liked the book or not because everyone has something to say!”

» While the main storyline deals with Liesel’s relationship with her foster family during World War II and

the threat of death everywhere, other strands present themes of loyalty, marriage and parental hopes.

And a bit of a love story as well. Some pretty heady stuff, but it’s presented in a way that can be understood by a child and still interest an adult.

by Patty Hannum

Have you seen the commercials featuring Mindy Kaling for Nationwide Insurance? Mindy is treated as if she is invisible: She can’t hail a cab or get any kind of service. This leads her to believe she is invisible and frees her to do anything she wants, like try to kiss Matt Damon.

I, like Mindy, suffer from this affliction. I remember the moment I first realized it. My 1980 class, called ‘Operations and Supply Chain Management,’ had few women, and fewer with long red hair. Part of our grade depended on class participation, but no matter how hard I tried, the professor would never call on me. It wasn’t sexism, because he did call on the other women.

I went to visit him during his office hours and he truly seemed never to have laid eyes on me before.

Once I got married, I assumed being with my husband would fix this. Wrong. He, too, suffers from it. We are 55-year-olds who drive nice cars and dress somewhat decently, yet we cannot get helped, served or waited on! As a result, when someone does ask us if they can help, we are so darn grateful I’m convinced we end up buying stuff we don’t even want.

Two weeks ago it was time to trade in my husband’s old Toyota, so off we went to Lou Fusz. As we walked around the lot, no one approached. We should have looked like terrific prospects, being a husband and wife choosing to spend Saturday at a car dealership.

I mean, who does that unless they’re serious? Out of nowhere, one guy approaches, James T. ‘Bones’ Donohue. He was juggling two other customers at the same time, but no matter, the next thing I knew we bought a new car. How did this happen? Well, he showed us we weren’t invisible—and every time I started whining about something—and we were there all day long—he took me to the vending machine for a snack. I must say (and these are words you won’t often hear), I had fun buying a new car.

Maybe once you start being visible, you stay visible? Nah, it’s more about the places we started going to. I now get my nails done at Clayton Nail Spa. For years, I went to St. Louis’ w‘best’ salons, weekly, and no one recognized me. But this place is like walking into Cheers, only without the booze. After the second visit, they knew my name. I was so astounded, I made my husband go get a mani-pedi.

So back to Mindy Kaling. I know exactly how she feels. I feel that way most days, but I now know there are places in town where somebody actually does know my name. And I hope my professor from all those years ago reads this.

»

Speaking of being visible, Town&Style is on Instagram! Projects coordinator Anna Kaczkowski and I are now posting pictures and captions. Please follow us. I am always looking for feedback (mostly good) or suggestions for topics you would like covered. Email me at phannum@townandstyle.com.

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

Amy Lorenz-Moser, a local attorney with Armstrong Teasdale, was featured recently in a documentary that aired on PBS stations nationwide, including KETC Channel 9 in St. Louis. The Perfect Victim tells the story of four brutally abused Missouri women who were convicted of killing their husbands, two of whom are clients of Lorenz-Moser.

Glamour magazine’s online edition also featured an article on the documentary, which included an interview with Lorenz-Moser. She has received numerous awards for her advocacy, including the American Bar Association Pro Bono Publico Award and Lawyer of the Year from Missouri Lawyers Weekly.

The Saint Louis University Museum of Art is ranked No. 4 among college museums in the nation. SLU was the only Missouri university to make the list, released by collegerank.net. The historic space was built in 1900 as the home of the St. Louis Club; it now features art ranging from Andy Warhol images to 3,500-year-old ceramics.

It was a full house earlier this month at COCA for the third annual St. Louis Theater Circle Awards, which honors outstanding achievement in local professional theater. Special recognition was given to Donna Northcutt, founder and artistic director of St. Louis Shakespeare, and Agnes Wilcox, founder and artistic director of Prison Performing Arts, who both recently retired. The Rep took home nine awards, followed by The Muny, Insight Theatre, St. Louis Actors’ Studio and Stages St. Louis.

by karyn meyer One could debate about which is more important to a home: a great kitchen or a luxurious master bathroom. The first is the heart of the home, the other a private retreat. Not debatable, however, is the fact that these two areas get the most attention (and funding) when it comes time to remodel or build. Capitol Group Kitchen & Bath Design Center has been helping local homeowners create their dream spaces for nearly 70 years, and its new showroom in Brentwood offers clients expanded resources and options.

The family-owned company was established in 1946 in Springfield, Illinois, as a supplier of kitchen and bath products to contractors, dealers and consumers. It opened a second location near The Hill in 2001 that served as a to-the-trade showroom. The recent relocation to a more central spot in Brentwood earlier this year is an effort to broaden its customer base to include retail sales.

“We’ve created a kitchen and bath showroom of the future,” says sales manager Brian Borsch. The 4,500-square-foot space features complete kitchen and bath set-ups so customers can view countless options for countertops, cabinets, tiles, mirrors, backsplashes, vanities and more in their actual environments. “We also have a functioning kitchen and a working faucet display,” Borsch explains.

“Clients can test six different kinds of faucets, which is extremely helpful when making a decision.”

All the cabinet lines offered here are on display so consumers can view the various colors and styles and test their function. “Our cabinets can be used in other areas of the house, too, like laundry rooms or offices,” Borsch says. Capitol Group sells a wide range of options, including Becora, an upscale line that allows clients to pick any shade from the Sherwin-Williams color wheel, and Kemper, another high-quality line. Its more economical, but still durable, brands include Merillat, Kraftmaid and Marquis. Capitol Group has established trusted relationships with all its product companies, Borsch says. “I’ve been selling Merillat cabinets since 1977,” he explains. “They are all good quality; the only thing that really separates them from each other is door style and color.”

Capitol Group has grown its business in both remodels and new construction projects, and Borsch credits this success to reliable customer service. “Our clients are always happy, so we get a lot of referrals.” The six industry-trained designers on staff are available to answer any and all questions.

“They are all knowledgeable about every product we offer,” Borsch says. Each designer makes an effort to find out what the customer wants, he adds. “Lots of customers come in with ideas they find on sites like Houzz or Pinterest.” And they can either bring in the space’s dimensions, or Capitol Group will go to the home to measure the space and discuss placement. “We always meet at the showroom to pick out colors, finishes and decorative enhancements,” Borsch says. “We’ll work with your contractor or offer a list of people we trust. I’ve worked with some of them for decades.”

Borsch says it comes down to what the client needs or wants. “Building or remodeling kitchens and baths is a big investment, so we want to make it a fun shopping experience for customers,” he says. “Nobody wants to do it twice, and everybody wants it done right!”

Capitol Group Kitchen & Bath Design Center, now located at 1410 Strassner Drive in Brentwood, offers kitchen and bath products for remodels and new construction. For more information, call 314.446.1543 or visit capitolgroupkitchenandbath.com.

[ talkof thetowns ] by bill beggs jr.

A tip of the police officer’s cap (hey, do they even wear them anymore?) to the fair suburb of Ballwin. The West County municipality has been ranked the 35th safest city in the nation, and considering there are no other Missouri cities on this year’s list (compiled by neighborhoodscout.com), that’s quite an accomplishment. While the country’s most dangerous municipalities tend to be the industrial and sometimes impoverished satellites of major cities, the relocation website’s 100 safest cities are mostly a different kind of urban satellite: the bedroom community.

NeighborhoodScout compared the safety of cities of different sizes across the country by deriving a rate for individual types of crime per thousand residents.

The site’s ranking of most dangerous cities is based on violent crimes, while this ranking is about safety from all crimes, both violent and property. Types of crimes taken into consideration are: burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, homicide, rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault. FYI: You also can use the site to get crime, school and real estate reports for any address.

The arts have found a permanent home in Chesterfield, at the intersection of Highway 141 and Olive Boulevard.

Summer classes are scheduled to start at Chesterfield Arts’ new building on June 1. Kids as young as 3 will be able to make a glorious mess, getting their hands in on painting, pottery and more. And high-school upperclassmen now will be able to earn college credit on a university campus via a new

partnership the city has with Lindenwood University in St. Charles. For adults, there will be workshops and classes year round. That ought to get everyone’s creative juices flowing!

Scamboree. Now, there’s a clever name for a program designed to help seniors resist the nasty schemes dreamed up by dirty, rotten scoundrels involving scams, fraud and identity theft. Scamboree will be presented at 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 6, at St. Louis County Library Headquarters, 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd. The free program is offered by the library and the Mid-East Area Agency on Aging (MEAAA) and geared to help folks avoid being hoodwinked, mainly by the slick fraudsters who populate the Internet and/or seem to have all the time in the world to persistently practice their pushy powers of persuasion by phone. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones from Medicare fraud, identity theft and other scams. Art Maines, author of Scammed: 3 Steps to Help Your Elder Parents & Yourself, and Rona McNally of the Missouri Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), will provide useful tips on how to protect personal information, plus detect and report fraudulent practices. (To wit: How alarmed were you that someone else already had filed a tax return for you, a relative, friend or neighbor?)

Trained MEAAA and SMP representatives will be on hand with info on additional resources. Come early: Free document shredding will be available on-site from 4 p.m. until the Scamboree begins. (Disclaimer: County

Library HQ technically is in Ladue, but we couldn’t omit this very important service announcement, so we took the liberty of fudging on the border just a wee bit. And besides, the library is right across the street from Plaza Frontenac, further muddling the whole border issue!)

How can you tell it’s spring in Ladue? Hint: It starts with a ‘D’ and ends in ‘wood.’ Well, yes, dandelions are in full bloom, honking off homeowners and making honeybees happy. But so are dogwoods, so it’s time once again for the Dogwood Parade & Festival. This is the 16th annual iteration of the event, which took a hiatus for about seven years because of I-64 / Hwy. 40 construction and that annoying little economic downturn in the late ’aughts, then came back in 2014. Cardinals GM and Ladue resident John Mozeliak is slated to be grand marshal of the parade, which hits the thoroughfares (well, Clayton Road) a week from Saturday. The parade kicks off 10 a.m. May 9 at Ladue Horton Watkins High School and heads east to wind up at Ladue Middle School … which is where the festival will be in full swing with food, drink, games and entertainment.

Kids will enjoy an obstacle course of inflatables, face painting and the Bubble Bus. Prizes will be awarded in several categories. And, lunch is served—‘Taste of Ladue’ food booths include favorite Ladue eateries. Meanwhile, Clayton Road merchants are participating in a coupon event (coupons are available with purchase of festival tickets). Although a party here usually entails valets, a courtesy shuttle will cart celebrants between the two schools on Dogwood Day. Ladies and gentlemen, start your mouse! Um, mice? Mouses? Oh, nevermind, as long as you do it. ‘It’ is a web-based, one-day-only, regional charitable effort slated for next Tuesday, May 5. The inaugural Give STL Day, a unique online effort to support nonprofits in our region, raised $1.1 million for 528 groups last year. This year, nearly 800 local nonprofits have registered to participate.

With more than 10,000 people pointing, clicking and donating to a cause last year, there are plenty of places to spread the love. Visit GiveSTLday.org to search for the nonprofits of your choice. So, St. Louisans, let’s see how many worthy groups we can add to our shopping carts that day. Just remember how much stuff you piled in your cart last time you visited, say, amazon.com.

Mouse-clickers, start your engines!

28TH ANNUAL

Laumeier Sculpture Park’s $10 million capital campaign is called Sculpting the Future, and as of March 1, there was but $800,000 left to sculpt … er, raise. And the future is just about here: The new Adam Aronson Fine Arts Center, under construction and set to open this summer, is developing into a modern marvel that contrasts with the park’s historical buildings. The building will serve as Laumeier’s new public focal point, featuring a spacious indoor gallery, reception area, and space for collections storage, conservation and events. Laumeier’s 1917 Estate House—formerly used for exhibitions, the Welcome Center and Museum Shop—has been renovated into studios and meeting spaces for classes, lectures, workshops and other programs to begin this summer. Also, over the summer, the park will celebrate the momentous changes through a variety of grand opening events and activities for donors, friends and visitors.

If that is your response, you must’ve been under a rock the past few years. And although curmudgeons may still say it’s a boondoggle, for the time being, they can just curb their mudgeon. The long-awaited, much-ballyhooed trolley system from the Delmar Loop south to the History Museum in Forest Park is happening. For real. Two-way traffic has been routed to the east side of DeBaliviere, and the two west lanes have been closed.

Officials expect that access to businesses along DeBaliviere will be kept open at all times. Traffic signals have been disabled, and temporary stop signs are in place at the DeBaliviere intersections with Kingsbury Place, Waterman Boulevard, and Pershing Avenue. Meanwhile, for those who still aren’t trolley aficionados, the St. Vincent Greenway is being expanded. Throughout construction, DeBaliviere will remain two lanes—and, once the expanded greenway and trolley tracks are complete, the new DeBaliviere alignment will be two lanes, one in each direction with an intermittent turn lane in the middle.

Neither do we.

sports standouts] by karyn meyer

[ double duty ] Nate VonderHaar

[ hard throw ] sophia rivera

It started as just something to do with her best friend in fifth grade, and now Sophia Rivera is known across the country for her skills with the javelin, as well as the shot put and discus. The junior at Brentwood High School, who also plays softball and basketball, had just returned from visiting top universities in California (who are actively recruiting her) when T&S spoke with her about being a triple threat on the track and field team.

“I was on a track club team when we lived in New Jersey, and they needed someone to throw javelin, so I said I would. I’ve loved it ever since,” Rivera explains.

“We moved here when I was in the sixth grade, and my current coach got me into shot put and discus. But the javelin is still my favorite.” It’s obvious Rivera knows her sports; she can easily describe the movements and techniques that differentiate each type of throw, along with the weight of each object. “The best part is the throwing itself,” she admits. “But working out is fun because I know it makes me better. I get excited to work harder to establish more power behind my throws.”

Rivera, who is ranked No. 6 out of all U.S. high school students in javelin, works with a personal trainer twice a week, focusing on strength training and weight lifting; squats help with leg strength, and core exercises help with stability during a throw. She has throwing practice five days a week with her high school team to work on footwork and form. “I’ll run on my own, too, and I often meet with my personal coach on Sundays,” she explains. “He and my trainer discuss what I need to work on and where I’ve improved.”

Rivera’s success can be attributed to her hard work and dedication. She was the state champion in shot put and discus the past two years. And she was selected by the National Scholastic Athletic Foundation as one of eight throwers in the country for the Kultan Kiehas Javelin Development Program, where students are chosen to attend specialized camps, participate in track meets and receive elite training. “Last summer, we went to the U.S. Olympic training center in Chula Vista, California, and to Finland (well-known for the sport) to train with the country’s junior national coach,” she says.

She admits being recruited heavily is a bit overwhelming but exciting. “It’s amazing that so many people know who I am,” she says. “I’m open at this point and just ready to talk to coaches and plan more visits.”

It’s not fair to describe Nate VonderHaar as a star athlete in only one sport. He excelled on both the basketball court and football field this year at Priory—and loved them both. “I could never choose a favorite,” he says. “I enjoy each for different reasons.”

His senior year began with football, a sport he hadn’t played since eighth grade. “When I started high school, I wanted to focus on basketball, so I put all my efforts into that,” VonderHaar explains.

“And then the football coaches and my friends convinced me to play this year. I’m so thankful for their encouragement because it really opened a lot of doors.” Such as being noticed by Georgetown University, where he recently signed to play this fall.

“It’s an amazing school and football program; I can’t wait to get there.” This season he played tight end and sometimes defensive end since there were only 22 players on the team. “It could get exhausting,” he admits. “But shifting from basketball to the tight end position was actually easier than I thought it would be. A lot of great athletes have done it, and I was happy to be so successful.” Priory’s season ended in a loss to Westminster during Districts.

VonderHaar continued to stand out as an athlete on the basketball court. The 6-foot 7-inch senior helped lead the team to a winning record of 21-6, among the best in school history. “That was due to great coaching and just a great team effort,” he says. “Coach McCormack was instrumental to our success; he’s a big reason we were able to win so many games.”

The 18-year-old started playing basketball in elementary school and has always enjoyed the fast pace of the game. He played on the Falcons select team in middle school and with the Machine Elite Basketball Academy the summers after his sophomore and junior year. “One of the coaches there, David Johnson, has been a great mentor the majority of my life. He’s trained me in basketball, and a lot of my success is due to him.” While VonderHaar is quick to attribute his remarkable athleticism to teammates, coaches and fan support, it’s obvious there’s a lot of natural talent involved. Which is a large part of why he was unanimously voted Varsity Basketball Player of the Year by the league’s coaches. “Priory plays in a competitive league, so there are lots of great players.

I’m just grateful I was considered,” he says.

talk to… [ kacie frost ] Villa Duchesne junior Kacie Frost has evolved from a little girl playing soccer for fun to a standout athlete being recruited at the collegiate level. She’s played varsity since her freshman year, and while winning is always nice, she’s still out there having a good time.

Q | When did you start playing?

A | I was 4 or 5 and played through Ascension in Chesterfield. My parents signed me up

for a lot of different sports to see what I was interested in.

Q | You obviously liked soccer! Why? A | I like that it has such a fast pace; you’re always moving. And I really enjoy the team aspect. Everyone has to contribute to do good work as a team.

Q | What position do you play?

A | I’ve rotated throughout the years. Now I’m playing defense for my club team and mid-

field for high school.

Q | What club team are you on?

A | St. Louis Scott Gallagher Premier. We practice two or three times a week and have

weekend games and tournaments during our season, which begins in the summer and lasts until the school season starts. We won the State Cup three years in a row and took

third place last year. This past year we played in the National Premier League, which is a more competitive league that travels around the region.

Q | What are the goals for

the Villa team this season?

A | To get as far as we can and just hope for

the best. The past couple of seasons we had a really hard schedule and ended up losing last year at Districts. We hope to compete a little better this year and make it as many games as we can at Districts.

Q | You’ve committed to Murray State?

A | Yes, I made my decision at the end of

February. I went to a camp there during winter break and they asked me to visit after that. I really like all the girls and the coaches, and the campus is nice. It’s a good match for me.

How do you define success? What kind of life do you want to lead? What do you want your legacy to look like? These are the questions people need to ask when choosing their investment path. That is the philosophy at Mosaic Family Wealth, a new independent wealth management and investment advisory firm. Instead of focusing solely on growing client portfolios, Mosaic’s holistic approach helps them cultivate the lives they want.

“We help clients integrate their financial success with their relationships, values and legacy,” says company president Scott Highmark. “A lot of people in our industry talk about Mutual Fund A versus Mutual Fund B, but at the end of the day, what are you trying to accomplish? How do you build a life of significance?”

At the helm is a team of seasoned professionals, including Highmark and Larry Shikles, both former Morgan Stanley Wealth Management executives. “Some of the most progressive advisers and clients have left the big banks and brokerage firms, and many of them are going toward independent firms and multi-family offices,” Highmark says.

A key motivation for founding an independent firm, he says, was the desire to operate under a fiduciary standard, which ensures the highest level of objectivity and transparency in the adviser/client relationship. “This means we must disclose any conflicts, be fully transparent and always do what’s in the best interest of the client,” he explains.

But clients don’t have to give up the cutting-edge technology and services of big financial networks, since Mosaic has a relationship with New York-based Dynasty Financial Partners. “With Dynasty Financial Partners, we can deliver Wall Street resources and Main Street values, because they piece together all the intellectual capital, products and resources across the industry and deliver them to us,” Highmark says. “So instead of sourcing intellectual products and services from one institution, this means we have access to the entire industry. There’s some incredible resources out there that many of the large firms don’t have access to. We wanted to be able to grab those opportunities.” These resources include everything from mobile applications and electronic vaults to family office services and performance reporting.

Helping people identify and achieve their dreams is no small task, but Mosaic Family Wealth has a step-by-step process to get clients to where they want to be. First, information about relationships, legacy, experience and goals is integrated into a ‘Mind Map,’ which then is fed into a ‘Significance Spectrum.’ “That spectrum becomes the blueprint or road map for defining success and creating a plan to it using our resources, technology and intellectual capital,” Highmark explains. “We work backward to create a tactical plan. We’re helping people clarify what their goals are, and then we create strategies and hold them accountable.”

The entire process is based on the notion that, at the end of the day, money is just a tool. “It’s the engine that allows you to have the freedom and flexibility to live a life you can be proud of.”

Getmeet toHarvey know ] Brown of clayton

by stephanie zeilenga | photo by bill barrett

What I do: CPA and retired partner of counsel at RubinBrown, which I co-founded in 1952 with Mahlon Rubin and Sidney Gornstein. Getting started: We wanted to give it a try on our own. It was tough times in the early days, and we worked a lot of hours. We didn’t know if we would be successful. At that time, we were just thinking about getting by and earning enough to raise our families. Keeping it going: Getting good recruits is the lifeblood of the business, because young people are what it’s all about. When we first started in the ‘50s, accountants were not allowed to advertise, and you weren’t allowed to solicit. We got clients through word-of-mouth, and we had to make sure we stayed close to them and gave them good service. We’ve passed that ideal on to the next generation. Engagement matters: Your name gets out there when you’re active in your own profession and in the nonprofit community. Mahlon and I were active in the local and state accounting chapters. He also was president of Jewish Center for the Aged, and I was a board member of the Jewish Community Center at about the same time.

Building a network: I went to Wash U., and I met so many people who turned out to be helpful in the business. I met future doctors, lawyers and businessmen, and from that group, I got a lot of clients. My family: My wife, Edith, and I have two children. My daughter is a lawyer in Washington, D.C., and my son is a CPA. Passing the baton: The company’s founders have had three sons become firm partners. My son worked in Atlanta for three years for a big accounting firm before he came back to St. Louis and got married. He’s now in charge of the tax department at RubinBrown. Childhood ambition: I hadn’t thought about it until I got to high school.

I went to a city school, and I ended up taking a bookkeeping class because my father suggested it. I had a wonderful teacher, and that was a trigger for me that this was something I wanted to do.

First job: I worked in a shoe factory when I was a teenager. I think any job you have as a teenager should be something you can learn from. And in college I worked at a service station, and it was quite an adventure—one that I probably could have done without. But it did help me learn to deal with all kinds of people. Best advice I’ve ever gotten: Work hard, and it will come to you sooner or later, but you have to keep at it. Loving St. Louis: I was born here, educated here, and got married here. It’s a wonderful town. Favorite vacation escape: When the kids were younger, we used to go to Fort Lauderdale. Now my wife and I have a place in Palm Springs. We’ve been going there for 25 years and have made a lot of friends.

The biggest mistake families make is twofold. They don’t start to save early enough in their careers or maximize their 401(k) matches, and parents don’t talk to their kids about debt and savings, i.e. how to manage debt and start to save as soon as they get their first job.

cover story

[in good hands PLAZA ADVISORY GROUP by tony di martino

A successful business is built on trust. This is particularly true of a financial

services firm. If people don’t have confidence in you, you won’t last long. “Since 1985, Plaza Advisory Group has been helping our clients plan their future and manage, grow and preserve their wealth,” says founding partner Peter Dolan. “We guide them in making smart decisions and durable plans at every stage of their business and personal lives. Our belief that wealth should be managed to last more than a lifetime enables us to build trusted, long-term relationships with the people we serve. They know we’ll always act in their best interests, and that their families will be taken care of as well.”

Established 30 years ago to help senior management at major local companies handle their personal finances, Plaza has always taken a holistic, client-centered approach. “We’re an independent firm, not part of a huge insurance or brokerage company,” Dolan says.

“Our financial experts focus on research, analytics and fact-based strategy, not on selling products.” Plaza advisers don’t rely on cookie-cutter solutions, preferring to develop an intimate understanding of each client, he says. “Our team designs and implements the plan that best suits your individual needs, circumstances and expectations, and delivers it with a superior level of service. We eliminate the blind spots, so you can make the best possible decisions and choose a plan that fits your unique goals and objectives.”

The firm’s services range from wealth management to financial and retirement planning, legacy building, estate and tax issues, executive transition, and risk management. “Our target audience is a small, select group of high net worth individuals:

The team at Plaza Advisory Group

corporate executives, entrepreneurs and business owners, accomplished families, women in life transitions such as divorce and widowhood, and retirees or those who are considering retirement,” Dolan explains. “That’s why we’ve gathered a top-notch network of local, national and international experts who deliver in-depth advice in key financial areas. The right resources and the right tools are essential for grasping, assessing and managing your financial future, especially during times of change.”

Plaza’s three founders, Dolan, Scott Bensinger and Thomas Briggs, once worked for a large San Francisco firm. “We came here to open an office for them, but eventually decided to start a smaller company of our own—one that would focus on client needs instead of marketing.” Partner Judy Rubin, who is especially passionate about helping women take control of their finances, joined in 2011. Today, Plaza’s client list spans the nation, with assets approaching $1 billion. “And we’re experiencing an exciting rejuvenation as we continue to develop our team with the next generation of wealth advisers, represented by Andrew Briggs, Ryan Dolan, Whitey Holt, Dan Noonan and Nathan See,” Dolan says. “Our strategies are grounded in 30 years of experience, but are innovative and flexible enough to anticipate what’s next in a rapidly changing world of opportunity and risk. Our emphasis on service, durability and expertise contributes to a rare achievement in today’s volatile market environment: confidence.”

The Favorites

Lobster Wontons, Lemon-Basil Mahi Mahi, Cajun BBQ Blackened Shrimp, Pulled Pork, Snickerdoodle Cake, Herb-Grilled Salmon

The team of Jim Edmonds and Mark Winfield has parlayed its Locust Street success into the ’burbs by opening Winfield’s Gathering Place in Kirkwood. Located at Manchester and Woodlawn in the Greentree Center, it’s got a lively vibe and interior that’s part pub, part restaurant. Step-up booths along the wall offer broad views to the outside, and mounted TVs along the perimeter add to the sports-bar/gathering place ambience.

The food is well-prepared, with the benefit of also being well-priced. You can come for a gourmet burger or sandwich, enjoy a couple of beers and a nice slab of The Cakery’s famous goodies, and leave content on all counts. A signature starter of Cajun Blackened BBQ Shrimp, for example ($12), was totally satisfying, its spicy barbecue sauce slathering both the crustaceans and the mound of polenta they sat around. (But I sorely missed bread for sopping up that sauce.)

The Lobster Wontons ($10) should not be missed.

I’m always a little skeptical when I see lobster or crab on menus in the Midwest, expecting something deep fried, greasy and devoid of actual seafood. But these

were light and thin-skinned, and stuffed with a creamy mix of lobster, green onion and cream cheese.

My BBQ Platter of pulled pork and brisket, plus two sides ($14.50), was tasty and classic ’cue. Both meats were surprisingly lean and came totally bare, to allow for adding your own choice of any or all of the proprietary sauces: House BBQ, Spicy BBQ and Alabama White.

They’re all quite good: the first is super sweet, the second sweet and spicy, and the Alabama is a mayo-based sauce that’s nice and creamy. If I had one complaint, it would be that the brisket was almost too lean.

An order of Lemon Basil Mahi Mahi ($26) was surprisingly gourmet for a menu that is largely gastro pub grub. The fish was fresh, properly seared and sauced with, if not a complex preparation, one that was well-flavored with butter and some kind of basil olive oil. And it merited the price, as the plate of food included delicate sauteed spinach and excellent roasted potatoes.

Equally good was the Herb-Grilled Salmon ($21), which had a light exterior crustiness and delicious flavor

from the herbs and soy-ginger sauce. The accompanying jasmine rice was good and the roasted zucchini and carrots delicious, thanks to their soy glaze. The Wined & Brined Smoked 1/2 Chicken ($13) was a lot of food for the price, and good. My complaint was the pinkish color, which conveys ‘underdone’ to the brain, even if it’s not completely true: the wine soak and the smoking process both can impart a pinkish shade. That said, the dark meat could have baked a little longer. The white meat, however, was smoky and as tender and moist as any chicken I’ve had.

I really respect a place that knows how to draw the line between what it does well and what someone else does better. Winfield’s wisely sticks to barbecue and sandwiches and lets The Cakery do desserts. We could choose from Red Velvet, Wedding Cake, Chocolate Espresso or Snickerdoodle. We tried the Snickerdoodle cake ($6), which was a simple, high-quality blend of yellow cake (on the dense side) and white buttercream frosting generously laced with cinnamon—delicious in its simplicity.

I hope everyone heeded my “don’t miss!” and “buy your tickets now!” when it came to Kinky Boots, which

played, no, rocked the Fox March 24 through April 5. After all the buildup, I was a tiny bit concerned the hype might not match the experience, but it was sensational!

Based on a true story, Kinky Boots follows a young man, Charlie Price (charmingly crafted by Steven Booth) who discovers a niche market for his failing family shoe business.

He meets Lola (the gorgeous and astonishing Darius Harper), a spectacular drag performer, and creates a line of steel-shafted, high-heeled kinky footwear specifically for men. Everything sizzled about this show: Harper’s performance stands at No. 1, but Booth was perfectly puppyish and lovable. There was not a single misstep from the entire cast.

Two other cast members deserve to be mentioned; one is Don (Joe Coots), who is the vehicle for delivering the message of the play: tolerance, acceptance and friendship. That message permeates throughout, especially when Lola and Charlie sing Not My Father’s Son. The other standout was Charlie’s unexpected love interest, Lauren (Lindsay Nicole Chambers), who was adorably awkward and waggishly quirky.

Kudos to the entire cast, costume designer Gregg Barnes and choreographer/director Jerry Mitchell. The number at the end of Act I had superb energy and truly encompassed the spirit of the play; the drag numbers were energetic and fabulous; and the finale was astounding with all the cast dancing gracefully in ridiculously high-heeled, dazzling boots.

The New Jewish Theatre gave us Donald Margulies’ Sight Unseen, which is about art and fame, love and self-loathing, and being Jewish but wanting to assimilate. Directed meticulously

by Bobby Miller, the play explores so many different themes, it opens itself to the criticism that Margulies should have been more focused. There were moments that sparkled, particularly the two scenes between Aaron Orion Baker and Em Piro, but many others fell flat. Behind the scenes, it must have been exciting for local acting couple Baker and wife Emily to have this opportunity to work together.

In another biggie this month, award-winning playwright Christopher Durang’s latest offering, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, played at The Rep. It’s surely a funny play, but fell short. I appreciated the exploration of Chekhovian themes like regret and thought, but I found myself not liking any of the characters, who were mired in their own self-centeredness and wallowed in self-pity. And it is never a good sign when the audience leaves talking about the set instead of the play.

creates a distracting choppiness. But its premise is intriguing. Based on the first novel in a trilogy

by Tom Rob Smith, the film takes place in 1950s Russia during the Stalin era. Security officer Leo Demidov (Tom Hardy) is demoted and exiled with his wife Raisa (Noomi Rapace) when he refuses to denounce her as a traitor. With the help of his new commander, Gen. Timur Nesterov (Gary Oldman), and Raisa, he throws himself into investigating a series of child murders that the government is

covering up as accidents. Its position is there are no murders in paradise. Demidov’s compassion and desire to protect those he loves make him an endearing character despite the monsters who surround him. And while the film is dark and gloomy for many reasons (its setting, its grim storyline and its sense that not much has changed), it also conveys a message of hope by showing that love can emerge out of even the most dire circumstances.

cover story

life-altering] SLUCare Physician Group by tony di martino Physical appearance isn’t the most important thing about a human

being, but it’s the first thing most people notice. Feeling good about the way we look gives us the self-esteem we need to succeed at work, form healthy relationships and participate fully in life.

Whether your concerns are strictly cosmetic or you’ve suffered an appearance-altering trauma, the plastic surgery team at SLUCare Physician Group can help you face the world with confidence. “We’re an internationally recognized group of surgeons, researchers and educators who are committed to providing the best care and results for our patients,” says SLUCare surgeon Dr. Michael Bernstein, assistant professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

SLUCare plastic surgeons excel at a broad range of specialties. “When most people hear the phrase ‘plastic surgery,’ the first thing they think of is face-lifts, breast augmentations and tummy tucks,” Bernstein says. “Of course, we do all those things, as well as Botox, fillers, body sculpting, liposuction and other cosmetic treatments.” But cosmetic procedures are relatively simple, he notes. “The function of the face is to look like a face, and it’s easier to help a normal face look better than to reconstruct a face that’s been destroyed.”

In addition to cosmetic work, the SLUCare team provides reconstructive surgery for people who have suffered appearance- and function-altering traumas, specialists who can help children born with cleft lip or palate, and wound care for patients with life-threatening pressure ulcers. “We’re experts in transplanting healthy tissue from one part of the body to another,” Bernstein says. “We specialize in hand surgery

and have successfully regrown severed fingers. We work closely with all the surgical specialties, reconstructing chest walls, skulls and noses that have been damaged by cancer, injuries or surgery.”

But the aesthetic and functional aspects of plastic surgery aren’t isolated from each other. “Some of the greatest developments and techniques on the cosmetic side came from surgeons who dealt with terrible combat injuries and wounds during World War II and Vietnam,” says Bernstein, who also serves as chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery at St. Louis Veterans Administration Medical Center. “Everything we accomplish on the reconstructive side feeds into the cosmetic side, and vice versa.

Everything we learn makes us better at restoring form and function, and the patient benefits. That’s what’s so rewarding and amazing about what we do.”

Patients are amazed, too. Nancy Hier, 69, lost most of her nose to skin cancer. “The tip and nasal lining were gone, and there was a big hole on one side,” she recalls. During three surgeries, Bernstein skillfully rebuilt her nose using skin from her forehead and cartilage from her ear. “I was terrified I’d never again look normal or breathe comfortably,” she says. “But Dr. Bernstein explained every detail clearly and patiently, and restored my nose beautifully. I was disfigured by cancer—but you’d never know it to look at me now.”

Beautiful

by Sara Savat

When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? Women and men are increasingly turning to surgery for help achieving their health and beauty goals. And oftentimes, the two are closely related.

rhinoplasty

A MATTER OF BALANCE Unlike your eyes, hair or lips, your nose should never be the focal point of your face, points out Dr. Scott Walen, a SLUCare otolaryngologist. No one ever says, “Wow, she has a great nose!” If your nose is being noticed, it’s probably for the wrong reasons. Additionally, surgery serves to improve nose function. In fact, Walen says most of his patients have some type of structural problem or nasal blockage that causes chronic congestion and breathing problems. Others may need to correct a previous trauma to the nose.

Whether it’s strictly cosmetic or strictly functional, rhinoplasty changes the look of the nose, so patients need to make decisions about what outcome they want. Most are looking for subtle, soft changes, Walen reports. “There’s not one perfect nose for everyone,” he says. Your perfect nose depends on your face shape, age, ethnicity and personality.

Whether you want to remove a nose bump, straighten the bridge or reshape the tip, ultimately you still want to look like you.

Dr. William Hart, director of Hart Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery Institutes, says today’s patients are more aware of proportionality in the various facial

Even rhinoplasty, the proverbial ‘nose job,’ can have a functional impetus, although it is more often an Aesthetic surgery.

Reportedly more popular than ever, today’s rhinoplasty can improve function and enhance the unique look of the individual.

features. “This may be due to more close coverage of celebrities in the media who’ve had this type of surgery,” he says. Ethnic rhinoplasty is growing in popularity, especially on the coasts. “An ethnic rhinoplasty would be one that is designed to change the appearance of the nose, but yet stay within the boundaries of the patient’s normal ethnic features,” Hart says.

Managing Expectations Hart advises choosing a surgeon whose vision for what can and should be done is in line with your own. “Surgeons today are focusing on not only improving the look of the nose, but also the structure and airway. We have much more knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nose and are focused on building it up with cartilage and tissue—not just taking tissue away. The long-term results are far better because of it,” Walen says.

And while this surgery has always been popular with women, Hart reports seeing an uptick in male patients.

“I definitely have seen more men interested in changing the contour and shape of their nose,” he says. He adds it’s important for surgeons to develop a rapport with their

patients and educate them about the process and what to expect. “Swelling can take anywhere from a few weeks to a year to go down completely,” he explains.

Not Your Mother’s Surgery “Cartilage grafting and the use of suture fixation of the cartilage have helped make the rhinoplasty more refined and predictable,” Hart says. Because these procedures were not used 30 or 40 years ago and noses change over time, older rhinoplasties may not age well. In some cases, these patients can develop airway problems due to nasal collapse.

Preoperative imaging helps patients imagine how they will look following the procedure, but with all rhinoplasties, there is an element of unpredictability, says Walen. “Reviewing photographs of a physician’s prior cases can be helpful,” adds Hart. He says some of the newer injectable fillers can be used to correct contour abnormalities, offering a relatively longterm effect of one to two years. But injectables can be used only to make additions, not to remove tissue. Hart explains that in some cases, that could be enough, since they can create the illusion of a smaller and/or better-proportioned nose, and/or hide minor bumps on the bridge.

Foot loose About Bunions Bunions are bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe where it attaches to the foot. Often, the big toe pushes toward the other toes causing bone overgrowth, which can be very painful. “Genetic predisposition is the usual cause for bunions,” says Dr. Michael Horwitz, a podiatrist at Feet for Life. However, improper shoe choices can aggravate an already established bunion.

The key to prevention is strengthening the intrinsic muscles in the arch of the foot, says Dr. Vincent Travisano, a podiatrist in Webster Groves. “With custom orthotics, you’re going to functionally maintain the structure of the foot, as opposed to an arch support that is just going to maintain the arch of the foot,” he explains.

Help Yourself Bunions will not improve or go away on their own, but there are a number of conservative home treatments that you can try to alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by chronic irritation of the bunion. Travisano recommends soaking your feet in Epsom salt, taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen, and using non-medicated bunion pads. Most important, choose comfortable shoes that conform to the shape of your foot without squeezing or pressing on the bunion.

“While home treatments can provide relief, many

No one wants feet with unsightly bumps and twisted toes. But more important, conditions like bunions and hammertoes affect function. The good news is twofold: patients can mitigate these problems by avoiding non-supporting shoes, and physicians today have the technology to help.

patients under the age of 70 want more immediate results,” Horwitz says. For this reason, bunion surgery is fairly common, and appropriate when the patient is in pain, he adds. The most common bunion surgery is the Austin bunionectomy, he says, in which the surgeon cuts the bone close to the big toe joint and shifts it into the correct position. Bone screws are typically used to hold the cut bone in place, providing necessary compression and helping the bone heal quickly.

Hammertoes These form when the arch muscles weaken and have a difficult time keeping the toes straight, Horwitz explains.

As a result, the toes buckle or curl down. Like bunions, the predisposition to hammertoe is genetic, and shoe choices can exacerbate the problem. Horwitz recommends wearing minimalist shoes for at least 20 hours per week to keep the feet strong.

Hammertoes may be flexible, meaning the toe can still be moved at the joint, or rigid, which usually causes pain and needs to be treated with surgery. A number of conservative options can be tried for flexible hammertoes, including stretching, switching to shoes with deep toe boxes (to prevent the top part of the toe from rubbing against the shoe), non-medicated pads, and shoe gear like gel toe separators.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS “One interesting fact about hammertoe surgery that most people don’t understand is that it’s somewhat tricky and should never be performed by surgeons who do not have a great amount of experience performing hammertoe correction (arthroplasty),” Horwitz says. “Complications include drifting of toes, reoccurrence of deformity and sometimes infections.”

FUNCTION, NOT FORM While hammertoes and bunions may look unsightly, both Horwitz and Travisano agree that appearance alone is never a good reason to operate. If your hammertoe or bunion is not bothering you, your best bet is to try to prevent the condition from progressing with good shoes.

Look for sandals that offer arch support and cushioning in the footbed. Avoid strappy shoes that cut across the bunions and put pressure on them. Very high heels also put unnecessary pressure on the feet.

But there is no reason for people to suffer needlessly, either. “Ninety-nine percent of all foot procedures are done outpatient, with local sedation,” notes Travisano. “And the majority of patients are happy with their outcome.”

gastric bypass

Just about nothing affects health more than body weight—and the same could be said about self-image and body weight. Gastric bypass surgery and gastric sleeve surgery are winwins in both arenas. While not the first line of defense, these surgeries can do wonders for extremely overweight people who have tried unsuccessfully to shed pounds through diet and exercise.

What IS IT? Gastric bypass surgery reduces stomach volume, which in turn reduces the sensation of hunger. As a result, individuals consume fewer calories and, over time, lose weight. “To be more technical about it, we usually divide the stomach into two compartments. A very, very small compartment attached to the esophagus and the lower part of the stomach, which food no longer gets into and which is about 98 percent of the volume of the stomach,” says Dr. Christopher Eagon, a Washington University bariatric surgeon.

The National Institutes of Health have established guidelines for gastric bypass surgery.

Good candidates are people who have a body mass index greater than 40 or who have a BMI between 35-40 and have obesity-related diseases like diabetes or sleep apnea. According to Eagon, this correlates to roughly 100 pounds over your ideal weight.

In addition, patients must attempt some organized medical treatment plan before weight loss surgery.

Gastric sleeve surgery has been growing in popularity over the last four or five years, Eagon says. Surgeons remove a small part of the stomach, turning the stomach into a tubular ‘sleeve.’

On average, patients lose about 55 percent of their excess body weight within 12 to 18 months.

BOUNDLESS BENEFITS For the right person, these surgeries act as a silver bullet.

“It has a very dramatic effect on many obesity-related comorbidities, primary among them is diabetes,” Eagon says.

“Sixty-five to 70 percent of diabetics will come off their medication and develop normal blood sugars, usually over the course of several weeks or a few months after surgery. In addition, it also has beneficial effects on high blood pressure, sleep apnea syndrome, high triglycerides and cholesterol, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and osteoarthritis.

We also know it reduces your long-term risk of heart attack

and stroke.” Multiple studies also have shown that patients who have gastric bypass surgery live longer than they would have without surgery.

AFTERWARD Gastric bypass changes the way you look, but it also changes, forever, the way you can eat.

“Patients need to be aware that they’re not able to eat whatever and whenever they want,” warns Eagon. “If they do, they may experience adverse effects like vomiting.” On average, he says, patients lose 70 percent of their excess body weight. “Typically the patients remain vigilant with their diet and exercise. But even patients who don’t make good choices still do quite well.”

Another downside is the excess skin left behind. Once the weight they have carried for so many years disappears, patients are left with loose and flabby folds of skin that have nowhere to go. That has given rise to its own menu of body contouring by plastic surgeons.

THE FINAL STRETCH Dr. Michele Koo of Aesthetic & Hand Surgery Institute recommends that patients wait until their weight has been stable for six to 12 months before undergoing body contouring procedures, unless they need renewed motivation.

“Oftentimes, weight loss stalls. If this is the case, intervention with skin removal through a tummy tuck or thigh or breast lift is extremely empowering to return them to their weight loss journey,” Koo says.

Because the amount of excess skin can be significant, procedures may have to happen in phases, Koo explains.

“Surgeries often are separated into two or three stages over one to two years,” she says. “With each subsequent surgery, the patient gets closer and closer to truly feeling ‘normal’ and wearing ‘normal’ size clothes. Anything is possible, but patience and a continued healthier lifestyle are a must.”

The only image most of us have of our doctors involves white lab coats and examination rooms. Of course, we realize they have lives of their own beyond the office, but we might not realize just how remarkable their hobbies and talents can be.

SLUCare cardiothoracic surgeon Dawn Hui was like most high-schoolers when she graduated: unsure of what to do next. Her father, an ER doctor, influenced her interest in medicine. On the other hand, she had taken violin lessons since the age of 6 and was talented enough to consider it as more than just a hobby. “I was very interested in the violin but didn’t know if I wanted it to be a career,” she recalls. “My teacher advised me to pursue the violin first so I didn’t lose my skills.”

Hui attended Oberlin College before transferring to Juilliard her junior year. “After a semester, I realized I wouldn’t be happy playing the violin long-term, but I finished my degree,” she says. After graduating in 1997, she toured with the Juilliard orchestra to Japan and Korea for the summer. When she visited relatives in Hong Kong, she auditioned for and was accepted by the Hong Kong Philharmonic.

Her stint in Hong Kong, however, only confirmed what she was already feeling. “I missed the intellectual challenge of something more scientific and objective,” she says. Hui started a pre-med program at Columbia University, but continued to play as part of a quartet at weddings and parties. Today, she helped form the Heart Quartet with three women from the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. “We played special musical

performances during Heart Month in February to educate women about heart disease. They were open to the public and well-received, so we hope to make it an annual event.”

Dr. Michael Horwitz, of Feet for Life Podiatry Centers and Clean Spa, describes himself as a frustrated musician. He has been a podiatrist for close to 30 years but has never forgotten— or truly given up—his creative, musical side.

“I’ve always loved music,” he says. “When I was 18, I needed something else to do besides high school athletics, so I started playing the guitar.”

He played at local coffee shops in college and eventually released an album in 1996, Dangerous Ground. “It was fun to put together,” he says. “Local shops sold it, and 100 percent of the proceeds benefited children who were uninsured.”

Little did he know that it would be nearly 20 years until he got back in the studio. “A producer friend of mine called me at a time I was ready to give up,” Horwitz recalls. “My studio in the basement was drawing dust. He gave me the name of a guy named Luke in Nashville, and it took me about a month to call him.” That was two and a half years and 150 songs ago. Performing under the name C.W. Hughes, Horwitz’s music is pure country and waiting to be shared with the public. “Songs are online now and available on iTunes, and the next step is to start playing live shows,” he says. His bandmates, with whom he was connected through patients, practice with Horwitz often, and he also hosts a music club in his studio in Chesterfield. “It’s more than just entertainment for me,” he says. “It’s a passion.”

Blooming Beauty by dorothy weiner | photo by bill barrett

Nothing is more welcome in spring than the first hint of jonquil or hyacinth peeping out of the brown, bare ground.

Maybe that’s why we love floral body products so much. Lately, an increasingly diverse menu of botanicals is being used in creams and scents: Jasmine, peony, violet, gardenia, geranium, lily and

rose are cropping up more than we’ve seen them in the past several decades. Many had fallen out of popularity, deemed too staid once the patchouli era arrived. But they’re back with a vengeance, and they offer a nice, refined change of pace in everything from face cream and candles to bath salts and perfume.

what’s your fitness

routine?] by karyn meyer

bruce lehtman [ the routine ] I started my current workout plan about eight months ago. I meet with my trainer, Brett Henderson, for an hour three times a week at the gym he owns in Creve Coeur, e3 Performance & Fitness. Our sessions don’t involve much cardio; instead, we focus on cross-training, which includes breathing exercises, lifting weights and pushing sleds.

with Dr. William G. Hart, Jr.

Are you ready for the quick fix?

4 No Surgeries, No Downtime 4 Graduation and Wedding Preps 4 Boot Camp for Lines 4 Quick Face Lift (no surgeries) REVERSE AGE-RELATED VOLUME LOSS by using fillers to address the 3-D effects of aging. Adding volume recreates the natural curves of the midface from cheekbone to the midface hollow. Juvaderm can smooth the nasolabial folds and the oral commissure and reduce the marionette lines and vertical lip lines that are part of the aging face. Ultra XC is used for moderate lines or Ultra Plus XC for more severe folds.

Restylane provides lips with instant definition and fullness.

These in-office procedures usually require a topical anesthetic and a short visit. Yet these treatments, combined with Botox and fractora laser resurfacing, can give you a refreshed look that will have you looking good.

REDUCE OR ELIMINATE FACIAL WRINKLES: Lines can be addressed in several ways, the most common treatments include Botox and Juvaderm. Botox releases the muscles that contribute to lines, while Juvaderm fills in the deeper lines from long-term facial animation.

Bruce Lehtman gives his wife Nancy

credit for pushing him down the path of healthy living. The couple, who own Distinctions boutique in Creve Coeur, eat out every night since neither likes to cook, a routine that offers countless temptations to veer off a healthy course. But at this stage, Lehtman says he has become very regimented.

“I’ve lost 60 pounds since I started watching what I eat and exercising regularly again eight months ago,” he says. Lehtman has always stayed physically active (he used to run 3 to 4 miles a day), but a leg injury brought everything to a halt. He has had multiple surgeries throughout the past five to six years. Although he tried to get back into his routine during the course of treatment, his injury prevented him from doing the things he used to. Lehtman eventually understood his exercise schedule would have to change. “I realized that was it, I couldn’t run anymore,” he says.

He admits that he saw a definite change in his body when he stopped working out. “I got a lot heavier, so Nancy decided to make an appointment for me at e3 Performance &

Fitness,” he says. “The cross-training is great!

My trainer, Brett, says that while you can lose weight with cardio, you don’t lose fat, so we do only about 10 minutes of cardio each hour-long session. And I’ve changed my diet quite a bit.”

Lehtman drinks a protein shake in the morning, usually eats a salad for lunch and has protein for dinner. “I cheat sometimes, but my trainer says it’s a 90-10 deal,” Lehtman explains. “If you stay on track 90 percent of the time, you can cheat the other 10 percent. Otherwise it would be too difficult.”

When asked about his future fitness goals, he says he wants to maintain where he is now. “We just had a fun two-week contest at the gym to see who could lose the most body fat, and even though I’m the old man of the group, I lost 1 ½ inches,” he says. The natural high that comes from exercise is addictive, Lehtman adds. “I really enjoy it. It boosts my endorphins. And I’m doing things now physically that I wasn’t able to do even in high school. It relieves a lot of tension and pressure, and it affects my everyday life in a positive way.”

ACNE BREAKOUT prior to any ‘big day’ can be treated with cortisone injections, which yield results within 24 to 48 hours.

This treatment is a short in-office procedure that may or may not require local anesthesia. It reduces swelling, promotes healing and reduces scarring.

OVERALL SKIN IMPROVEMENT can be achieved with the fractora laser. Following laser treatment, expect some redness and minimal swelling that resolves within 2 or 3 days. This treatment, combined with a good skin care, can provide a clear, firm palette for your make-up application.

USE SUNSCREEN – it is your skin’s best friend.

» new take on statins

Research appearing March 4 in The Lancet indicates that statin drugs given to reduce heart attack risk are much more effective in patients with a high genetic-risk score. First co-author Dr. Nathan O. Stitziel of Washington University reports that individuals in the high-risk category have a 70 percent higher risk of heart attack than those in the lowest geneticrisk group, yet both may be on statin therapy, thanks to a 2013 change in guidelines by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association. This dramatically increased the number of patients on such therapy. The genetic risk score of 27 markers in the genome is not yet available to patients, but it may one day be a useful tool to identify coronary disease risk well before traditional measures currently employed by physical exam or routine bloodwork.

A new treatment has been approved by the FDA for treatment of diabetic macular edema. The Iluvien eye implant automatically releases 36 months of treatment, freeing patients from injections in the eye. DME affects up to 30 percent of longtime diabetics and if left untreated can lead to vision loss. Locally, Pepose Vision Institute performed the first Iluvien implant in Missouri in February of this year.

Saint Louis University research offers hope for the

treatment of sleep disorders and anxiety through compounds that target the REV-ERB protein, a key factor in regulating circadian rhythm. The SLU team, led by Thomas Burris, ph.d., hypothesizes that targeting components of the mammalian clock with REV-ERB drugs might lead to new treatments for sleep disorders, anxiety disorders and even addiction. The findings were reported recently in Nature Communications.

A study conducted in Malawi found that updating the World Health Organization’s guidelines for the treatment of childhood malnutrition can reduce relapse rates. Disturbingly, 38 percent of the children currently treated suffer malnutrition relapses within a year. It is estimated that 35 million children worldwide annually suffer from moderate acute malnutrition. Dr. Indi Trehan, lead researcher of the Washington University study, found that for relapse rates to be improved, guidelines need to be increased beyond the current 12-week supplementation period, as well as beyond the current target weight and arm circumference measurements.

6 Indian Creek Lane FRONTENAC

[T&S home by karyn meyer

With its five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and towering open spaces, the home at 6 Indian Creek Lane easily can be described as an estate. When Dr. Muhammad Ali and Dr. Nighat Qadri wanted room for their family and for entertaining, they found it in this Frontenac home of more than 9,500 square feet.

The couple had spent a few years in St. Louis prior to moving here for good in 1998, when they bought a house near Town & Country. When looking for a bigger space, they wanted to stay in the same area since they loved the central location. This house had everything they were looking for: a prime location, upscale finishes and lots of space. “Everything is close—highway access, shopping, restaurants, the airport,” says Qadri. In 2011, when the couple and

their three children moved in, the house was in need of some TLC. “The man living in it was older, and he didn’t maintain it very well,” she explains, “so we undertook a lot of renovations, including the kitchen, flooring and all the landscaping.” Qadri says it was a big project, but she enjoyed being able to pick out what she liked.

“The house needed attention, but everything was of such good quality,” she says. “It would have been too expensive if I had to renovate everything.”

The parts of the house she was drawn to most were the more than half-acre lot and the open floor plan, which includes a two-story great room with a wall of windows overlooking the backyard. “The back is so big and private,” Qadri says. “I could entertain a very large

group outside.” The same goes for indoor gatherings.

Qadri hosted more than 200 guests comfortably for her housewarming party, and she also entertained large groups for her children’s graduation parties.

The family’s favorite area is the kitchen and adjoining hearth room. “The space is big enough that we can entertain guests, watch TV and have room to cook, all at the same time,” Qadri says. She also loves her expansive master bedroom, complete with her own personal shoe closet. “It’s my favorite,” she laughs.

She says they definitely want to stay in the same area, but with all three kids in college now, she and her husband are ready to downsize. “It’s too much for me,” she says. “This house looks better when people are in it!”

These colorful, weatherresistant doormats are woven from float rope that once tethered lobster traps in Maine. Fishermen switched to heavier sink rope to protect the Northern Right Whale, which often became ensnared in the floating rope. Tons of float rope was slated for landfills until The New England Trading Company began weaving it into doormats.

homework] Dear Homework,

Last year, my family moved into this charming Cape Cod house. We are at a loss about how to improve the look of the outside. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

—Clueless in the County

Dear Clueless in the County,

After

Your Cape Cod home is charming, but I think with some tweaks it could be made much more so. Through a few subtractions and a few additions, we can give the façade a more authentic, detailed and important feel.

First, I would substitute a more upscale asphalt roof for the existing dull gray one. I would suggest a new one that mimics multi-color slate. I also feel that the young maple tree on the left is planted too close to the house for the size that it can grow to, so it should go.

As far as the additions go, I show a new arched pediment over the front door, with a relocated, larger coach lamp. The front door also has been upgraded with a new mullioned storm door and full-length shutters. Please note that all the windows have received new mullions, which adds an elegant level of detail.

The landscape changes include adding two vertical junipers to frame the house. These block the views to neighboring properties and focus attention to your façade. Also, since the evergreens’ color echoes that of the shutters, they have the effect of making the façade feel wider and more substantial. The rest of the new planting follows the charming ‘cottagey’ look already established in the planting beds.

With these changes, your Cape Cod now looks ‘best of type,’ after only fairly minor changes. Hopefully this gives you a helpful start.

Good luck with the changes, —Homework

WHAT An established winery in Augusta, Missouri Where 5634 High St. WHY To sample award-winning wines and enjoy stunning views

What is the first government-appointed wine-growing district in the U.S.? That question is

often included on the sommelier certification exam, and for many, it’s a stumper. The answer: Augusta, Missouri, just a short drive west of St. Louis. Tucked into the rolling hills of the Missouri River Valley are dozens of wineries, including Mount Pleasant.

The 15 square miles that make up the Augusta Appellation is ideal for growing grapes. The bluffs along the Missouri River protect the area from extreme weather, and the topsoil is rich. “You can dig several meters deep and still get topsoil, and that’s rare,” says Mount Pleasant president Chuck Dressel.

Founded in 1859 by two German brothers, George and Frederick Muench, the winery began as a commercial wine business, with its products shipped all over the world. In 1920, it was forced to close with the passing of Prohibition.

The wine and winery equipment were destroyed, and the vineyards torched. “Companies like Anheuser-Busch were able to turn over and make root beer or other products, but our entire estate was wiped out,” Dressel says.

In 1966, the winery began its rebirth, with Lucian and Eva Dressel—the aunt and uncle of Chuck Dressel—purchasing the property. “They came across this historic winery, grasped the great ambience here, and wanted to give it a go,” he says.

Signs of Mount Pleasant’s long history still can be seen

mount pleasant estates augusta on the property. The original hand-dug cellars, completed in 1881, remain in use, and the oven house, used to make bricks for the foundation of the original winery buildings, still stands.

Today, Mount Pleasant grows 12 grape varieties on nearly 80 acres and uses a number of sustainable viticulture techniques.

“If we don’t have to spray for fungus, we don’t,” Dressel explains. “We also try to run our tractors efficiently so we’re not burning as much diesel fuel. It’s a constant challenge.”

Aged in oak barrels or stainless steel tanks, the winery’s offerings include port and a variety of reds and whites. Mount Pleasant recently received some high ratings from Chicago’s Beverage Testing Institute—a 91 on the Estate Norton and a 90 for its Estate Chardonnay. “What’s really rewarding for me is that we’re literally taking grapes out of the ground and making a finished product, and we get to see peoples’ reactions to our work,” says Dressel.

Visitors can enjoy the finished product in a 4,000-squarefoot tasting room or on the brick terrace overlooking the Missouri River Valley, perhaps accompanied by a cheese and sausage plate from the winery’s Appellation Cafe. There is often live entertainment on the weekends; cellar tours, wine classes and a variety of events also are offered.
