[ letter from the editor ]

Even though Town&Style is more about kids sports than pro sports, there is something regarding the recent welterweight boxing match I feel compelled to ask: Why do so many people want to see two men pounding each other? Granted, I could be missing something. Yes, I realize boxing is a ‘sport,’ but so was bear-baiting and gladiatorial combat (not to mention dog/cock fighting). I also get that most sports involve pain on the part of the athlete, but it’s usually self-inflicted pain—the kind that comes from pushing the limits of human endurance (like the sweaty, excruciating, inexplicable euphoria of runners at the finish line).

But professional fighting involves inflicting pain on someone else. Isn’t this a very strange activity for our society to be promoting? For one thing, think of the message we’re sending young people. On the one hand we tell kids not to fight and to settle their differences by talking. Then we hear nonstop hype, in every media outlet imaginable, of a professional bout that’s going to generate $400 million. Even in the surreal world of sports salaries, that is obscene.

The real question here is: why? Why do we like to watch men hitting each other? Boxing is as old as mankind: there is evidence of it in relief drawings from Sumeria, Mesopotamia and Minoan Crete—dating as far back as the third millenium B.C. And we know it was an Olympic sport in ancient Greece. So what is it about watching men pummel each other?

You could argue that it makes more sense than tapping a little ball around the grass for four hours. Or piling on top of a bunch of guys to stop a pigskin spheroid. But I’m just not convinced that match-ups designed to draw blood should qualify as the ‘gentleman’s sport,’ a traditional epithet for boxing.

patty d e h s a e unl

by Patty Hannum

I’ve always believed in having friends who are both smarter than me and have different interests than I do. Well, it couldn’t get more different than my friend Dan, who is devoted to nature. Me, not so much.

He is a strong supporter of conservation causes, and I am sure he was a little befuddled when he had to explain to me the saying, “Asphalt is the last crop.”

They could pave paradise and put up a parking lot, and I probably wouldn’t notice.

Dan and the organization he co-founded, Magnificent Missouri, are responsible for the billboards you see along Highways 70 and 170 with the words, ‘Enemy of the State’ in big block letters. If you slow down, you will notice the next line of the billboard, which reads: stop-honeysuckle.org.

If you’re anything like me, honeysuckle calls to mind the sweet-smelling vine that creeps over your fence in the summer. This is not the honeysuckle that is the enemy.

Bush honeysuckle, imported from Asia many years ago, is the enemy. It was originally brought here to provide a dense hedge between houses. But like the Asian carp flailing themselves at rowing crews in Creve Coeur Lake, bush honeysuckle is killing our native Missouri plants!

Why should we care? Well, you might try driving down Lindbergh Boulevard, where Dan took me to view nature just the way I like to see it: from the inside of a car with the air conditioning on. Only I wouldn’t exactly call it nature. All you can see is bush honeysuckle. You won’t see trees or forest, or flowers, or yards—just green, thick bush. In simple terms, the bloom is off the rose, and off everything, because there are no blooms!

And now that I have been shown the light—or the green, so to speak—I can’t look away. It is ugly, ugly, ugly. And all on the same road as Plaza Frontenac, which is where you go to see pretty, pretty, pretty.

So, how have things gotten to this point? Nature.

The birds eat the berries of the bush honeysuckle, which have about the same nutritional value as jelly beans, so the birds aren’t even getting a decent meal.

But what goes in must come out, so the seeds inside the berries are excreted, and new bush honeysuckle plants can start. In other words, the spread of bush honeysuckle can be explained by an expression we’ve all heard: ‘poop’ happens.

Although Dan told me what I could do to help, nature talk tends to get all muddled in my mind. But I can tell you this: everyone should be on board when it comes to eradicating this noxious plant. The last thing anyone wants is me explaining how to do that, so instead, log onto stop-honeysuckle.org, and be a better steward of the earth than I’ve been. Be careful, though. You will never be able to drive down Lindbergh Boulevard again without the desire to pull over and start whacking away at the bush honeysuckle. In fact, if you see a redheaded woman out there, don’t get alarmed. It’s just me. Dan has finally made me care about nature.

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

by karyn meyer

Jewish Family and Children’s Service has announced Judy Berkowitz as the

new director of the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry.

She will oversee all operations and volunteer services, as well as expand community outreach.

Berkowitz retired in January as CEO of Kids in the Middle. The pantry is in its 24th year of providing food and personal care items to those in need.

Elleard Heffern Fine Jewelers is bringing to town exclusive estate jewelry from such renowned design houses as Cartier, Tiffany, David Webb and Harry Winston.

The vintage and pre-owned pieces were collected from all over Europe and the United States specifically for the show, and they span numerous eras, from Victorian to late 20th century. Most of the items will be available for purchase only during the two-day event May 14 and 15.

In honor of their former pastor of more than 24 years, Monsignor James E. Pieper, parishioners of St. Clement of Rome in Des Peres have established a scholarship endowment fund in his name. Donations will provide partial scholarships to St. Clement eighth-graders attending a Catholic high school. Pieper received the inaugural Fisher of Men Award in 2012 from the Archdiocese of St. Louis for encouraging youths to consider religious vocations.

Grand Center has received a $100,000 boost from Southwest Airlines. The airline, along with Project for Public Spaces, chose Grand Center as one of six recipients nationwide. The money will be used to reimagine Strauss Park and connect it to other venues in the arts district.

The Country Club of St. Albans has had quite the face-lift. Among the $3 million in renovations was a new, state-of-the-art bunker system on its golf courses (designed by Tom Weiskopf); upgrades to the aquatic center and clubhouse, which now has a golfer’s lounge and wine bar; and bringing in new executive chef Ralph Edmonds, who will focus on fresh, locally inspired cuisine.

[love of learning Washington University by tony di martino

Forget Bikram yoga and Pilates. Leave the juice fasts to Gwyneth Paltrow

and the four-hour workouts to Madonna. And while you’re at it, ditch the expensive moisturizers. There’s a much easier way to stay young—and it’s a lot more fun. “The opportunity to learn for pure pleasure, without having to worry about tests or grades, is the closest thing to a fountain of youth ever found,” says Katie Compton, director of the Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) at Washington University.

LLI, now celebrating its 20th anniversary, offers a broad range of peer-led academic courses for adults age 55 and over. “The classes aren’t for credit—there are no grades and no exams,” Compton explains. “LLI is for people who love learning for the sheer joy of it. It’s an opportunity for retired seniors to lead involved, active lives in which they continue to grow and interact with others. You’ve never seen a more vibrant, motivated bunch of students. They take their responsibilities seriously—and they have fun.”

There’s something for everybody. Offerings include classes in anthropology, art and architecture, creative writing, economics, entertainment arts, geography, history and contemporary issues, literature, math/science/technology, religion, and philosophy.

“Institute members from a variety of backgrounds plan and present the courses and related field trips, workshops, and cultural and social events,” Compton says. “Some are former college professors or high school teachers, but we also have a retired pediatrician who has led more than 50 classes on Shakespeare and Faulkner, an archeologist who leads

science classes, and a leading businessperson who now facilitates economics courses.”

You don’t need a degree in the subject to lead a class, she adds: “All it takes is a fascination with the subject matter, and a passion for sharing and exploring it with others.”

Knowledge is priceless, but tuition at LLI is accessible. Most subjects are offered in eight-weeks terms in fall, winter and spring, with a four-week summer session and a few courses that continue year-round. The first eight-week course is $155, with additional courses costing $95 each. Four-week courses are $75. An annual membership fee of $420 entitles students to two courses per term (excluding the summer term), and also covers the $25 surcharge for year-round courses. “And a $635 all-inclusive membership entitles students to three courses per term, including the summer session, and also covers the surcharge for year-round courses and a parking permit,” Compton explains.

New members receive a $60 credit on their first course.

Classes are located conveniently at Washington University’s West campus on Forsyth Boulevard and Jackson Avenue in Clayton. Show Me LLI, an introductory program consisting of three mini courses, takes place May 15. Summer registration begins June 1.

“What drew me to LLI 19 years ago was the concept of peer learning,” says Karen Sterbenz, chair of LLI’s executive committee. “It’s an exciting, stimulating way to learn, because everyone participates—you’re not sitting passively, getting lectured to. It’s a great way to make new friends. And that’s always wonderful, at any age!”

I would have called it Shred-ORama, but they didn’t ask me.

Still, Shredfest is a fine name for what Ballwin police produced recently, an opportunity for anyone to destroy sensitive documents they no longer needed or had room for. The third annual event was May 2, and people could shred contracts, creditcard receipts, cancelled checks, legal documents … you name it. Folks were on hand in the Ballwin Target parking lot to help participants carry heavy items from vehicles to the shredding truck. There may even have been some bad family portraits from the 1970s in there; you know, the ones that fade to green over time? But nobody’s talking, and all that was left were shreds to be taken away and, we hope, recycled. There was a ton of it, literally; police say about 2,500 pounds of documents were shredded for a good cause. The annual event benefits Circle of Concern, a food pantry in Valley Park, and a donation of $5 or a bag of nonperishable food items was the suggested ‘price of admission.’ About $300 in cash was collected, as well as six sacks of food. Cops say the event was particularly timely in light of the 380 cases of tax fraud reported this year, twice the number from 2014. (Shredfest. Now, that also could be the great name of a festival for virtuoso guitarists. Or, not.)

If you weren’t aware, the StL is the world headquarters for that most ancient of games. No, soccer moms, not that game.

Chess! There’s the national champ collegiate team at Webster University, and there’s the World Chess Hall of Fame at 4652 Maryland Ave. in the CWE. Two exhibits open May 14 in this elegant, stimulating space. In one of them, Mischief Makes a Move, the centerpiece is Marcel Dzama’s film, Une Dans des Bouffons, which the visual

central west end

and film artist calls a ‘Dadaist love story.’ Indeed.

Alt-rockers, take note: Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth performs in the film, and members of Arcade Fire did the score. (Watch out, soccer moms: the film has ‘adult’ themes.) In contrast, Encore!— the other, simultaneous opening—is a great exhibit for the whole family. It highlights ivory chess sets owned by Jon Crumiller and is the second time the collector has collaborated with the hall. The historic chess sets are a great way to learn about art and history, not to mention help stir the ongoing debate about owning and selling ivory (even if it is antique).

st. louis city

Cyclists in the city are celebrating new and upgraded routes for their twowheeled contraptions. Since September, crews have been implementing street markings and signage to provide 40 miles of new routes and 60 miles of upgraded routes to the Bike St. Louis network, bringing the total to 135 miles. The project includes shared lane markings, bike lanes, seven new bike corrals, and signs throughout the city. Some streets also feature a reduced number of driving lanes, helping to alleviate traffic and make room for parking and bike lanes. The official unveiling of Bike St. Louis Phase III was held April 25, featuring free bike tune-ups and Trailnet-led bike rides (8 miles and 20 miles), both activities provided courtesy of Great Rivers Greenway. Funded through a $1.1 million federal grant and local matches by each partner, Bike St. Louis is the result of input from the community with the goal of creating a more bike-friendly city. Ah, yes … you can get there from here.

Talk about turning on a dime! In one of the more amusing stories we’ve heard, thanks to KMOV’s investigative reporter Chris Nagus, MSD threatened a St. Charles woman with collection action after she mistakenly wrote a check for 58 cents less than the amount due on the sewer bill for her deceased mother’s home. So she wrote a 58-cent check to cover the arrears. [ TT Trivia ] Who was Ivory Crockett?

And here’s where the dime comes in. After her recent interview with KMOV, the woman said she received a letter of apology from MSD. It included a refund of 48 cents—the cost of postage for mailing the check. Talk about absurd.

Webster. Groves. It will truly resonate after you read this item.

Judge William H. Webster, 91, is a native son. He and his wife, Lynda, are tree-huggers, in the best sense of the term. Lynda and some of her honorable husband’s friends provided funds for the 300 trees—a veritable grove—planted in North Webster on April 25 to commemorate Arbor Day (April 24). The WGHS grad and his bride were in town May 2, when he was honored as the 2015 Community Tree Steward. Lynda is the past chair of American Forests, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization. The Websters, who reside in Washington state, are fierce advocates for the protection and expansion of forests. The planting effort was a joint project of American Forests, Forest ReLeaf of Missouri, and the Webster Groves Parks & Recreation Department. A bench dedicated in honor of the onetime federal judge was placed in Ivory Crockett Park at Bell and Alementor avenues. Judge Webster has one of the most impressive C.V.s around.

In 1960, he was appointed U.S. District Attorney by President Eisenhower and later was named to the federal bench by President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s. President Jimmy Carter named him FBI director, a post he held from 1978 to 1987, and he

How’s that ol’ lawn chair holding up? If you’ve had it for nearly 30 years, probably not so well. Maybe to celebrate the 28th iteration of the Chesterfield Summer Concert Series, you could spring for a new one.

Stay after the show ends at 9 p.m. to enjoy fireworks and free cake in celebration of the city’s anniversary. A variety of bands plays every Tuesday night (except July 7) through Aug. 11, when another regional fave, Billy Peek, hits the stage to close out the series. No need to bring a cooler—beer, wine, soda, water, popcorn and candy are available for purchase, along with chow from area restaurants. What’s more, food trucks will be on hand. On June 16, check out Rockin’ Chair, a reunion of members from ’70s regional bands Mesa and Nickels celebrating the music of Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, The Band, The Allman Brothers Band, etc. Donations of new and gently used clothing will be accepted in the parking lot on the evening of each show. So, come on out—and give away that pair of embroidered bell-bottoms that your significant other has wanted you to get rid of since 1972.

Here’s a story with roots in Wildwood that didn’t exactly go viral, but it did wind up in ‘High School Notes,’ a blog from U.S. News & World Report: testing fatigue. Shari Sevier, a counselor at Lafayette High School in Wildwood, is board chair ​o f the American School Counselor Association. She was among experts who provided some tips for parents to work with their kids on staying sharp and not losing steam at the end of the year, when they take all those state-mandated tests, AP tests, SAT and/ or ACT exams… and finals. It’s all overwhelming, says Sevier, and some students just want to check out. What do you know? That, in fact, is just what’s recommended, sort of. One tip for parents: allow room for downtime. Tell students not to overthink it or stress out about it, which is easier said than done, but take a nap. Go work out. Chill. Another tip: prepare. But don’t overdo it. Perusing study notes is critical, but don’t cram. Study smart, not hard. Look over the notes for about 10 minutes a night. A third tip: Don’t agonize over the results.

Test scores aren’t the be-all and end-all, says Sevier. Hmm … I wish she’d been my counselor.

Maybe she could have advised me against staying out all night before the morning of my ACT? Relaxing, it wasn’t.

About the club The members of Literary Ladies have quite the history. Five of the women

taught seventh-grade English together in the 1970s at what was once known as Kirby Jr. High in the Hazelwood School District. “We were a very close-knit group, and then life happened,” explains Nanette Williams. “Some of us stayed home with our kids, others switched jobs or moved.” But the love of literature brought them together again in 2010. When Charlotte Ellington, who has penned a biography and novel herself, moved back to St. Louis, she approached the group about forming a book club. Another friend joined, and Williams says anyone is welcome at this point. “We often talk just as much about family and friends as we do the books, though,” she jokes.

The women meet for lunch the first Thursday of every month at Mimi’s Cafe in Chesterfield to discuss their latest read. “We each are assigned a month for picking a book, after discussion with the group,” Williams says. “We get a really broad choice of titles this way, and it allows us to read books we never would have picked up ourselves. I’ve discovered some great authors.” Williams appreciates the group’s varying opinions each month. “Different people bring different reactions, so that affects how you look at the story,” she says.

In THE Sense of an Ending, I found it difficult to relate to any of the characters, as no one seemed genuine. Much discussion in our group centered around the ending and who was responsible for what.

THE Sense of an Ending promises more than it delivers. It is well-written, but I was always waiting for the author’s purpose. Why is this character worthy of the reader’s time?

thompson foundation for autism

Located at the University of Missouri, Columbia, the Thompson Center works to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by autism and neurodevelopmental disorders.

meet Sarah Hakes Ballwin | volunteer

by karyn meyer Q| How long have you been a volunteer?

A| Nine years.

Q| What got you interested in this particular cause?

A| My former boss at Colliers International (formerly EVS Realty Advisors), Jack Reis,

is regional director of philanthropy for the foundation and head of the annual gala. His fraternity brother Bill Thompson is founder of the Thompson Center. Jack came back from a meeting, called me into his office and said, “We’re going to put on a gala!” I replied that we didn’t know how to do that, and he just told me we would figure it out. We wanted to do it for the good of society and the community, and that’s how I became involved. I’ve visited the center a couple of times, and these people are just fantastic with what they do. I really love helping them, and I’ve met a lot of great people.

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

A| This is my ninth year to serve as event co-coordinator with Jack for the annual ‘It’s In The

Cards’ charity gala. For the first seven years, we didn’t have any help from an event planner.

We started working with Cosmopolitan Events two years ago, which has taken some of the load off. Prior to that, it was mainly just the two of us doing everything. It’s a year-round commitment, and we work with all aspects of the event. Whenever Jack needs extra help, that’s when I come in. My assistance is geared toward my career in marketing and communications. I write the programs, get all the images, put together the PowerPoint presentation; it’s a lot of details! It’s quite a bit of personal time, but since my company supports the foundation, I work on it some during business hours.

All proceeds funnel into the Thompson Foundation, which gives the money directly to the center. This way the funds don’t have to go through the university system.

Our one focus with the event is to just help these families who are struggling.

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

A| It would be to create more awareness about the center. It’s astounding what

they offer families there: Doctors run diagnostic tests and assessments with your child, and you have a diagnosis by the end of the day. And they support families after diagnosis also. It’s extremely close to St. Louis and has a big connection here. The Center is at the University of Missouri-Columbia because the doctors do so much research, but last year it formed an affiliation with the local Mercy Autism Center. And doctors from the center come to St. Louis to train doctors and teachers here.

In the Words of Thompson Foundation for Autism: “As a result of

Sarah’s dedication and volunteer work with our annual charity event, the lives of children have been enriched by the financial support given to the Thompson Center, which offers access to evidence-based therapies addressing the myriad challenges of autism.”

cover story

[pay it forward youthbridge by tony di martino

A bridge is a way to connect one area to another, making it easier to reach. That’s the

idea behind YouthBridge Community Foundation: “We make charitable giving more efficient and effective by joining community needs to resources,” explains CEO Michael Howard. “We connect individual and business donors to nonprofits, nonprofits to resources, and financial advisers to charitable funding opportunities for their clients.”

The result benefits everyone involved. “We enable donors to maximize their social impact by helping them define and achieve their philanthropic goals,” Howard says. “We help area nonprofits, especially those focused on children and youth, become stronger and financially sustainable, so they can continue serving those in need even when donations and governments funds are scarce.

And our experts work with individual financial advisers to create customized, tax-advantaged giving strategies that complement clients’ tax and estate planning strategies while providing ongoing support to their favorite charities.”

YouthBridge began as an orphanage in 1877, and still champions causes that benefit young people. “Over time, we evolved from a direct-care provider into a community foundation, a group that works with donors to support the long-term needs of multiple nonprofits,” Howard says. A community foundation differs from a private foundation in key ways, he notes. “A donor-advised fund (DAF), or assets given to a community foundation for redistribution to nonprofits, is more flexible and less costly than a private foundation when it comes to transferring wealth, and also offers numerous tax advantages.”

Now, YouthBridge has found a way to make giving even easier: YouthBridge charitable gift cards. “Like retail gift cards, they’re given to celebrate birthdays, holidays and other special occasions,” Howard says. “But instead of being redeemed at the mall, they’re redeemed to benefit the YouthBridge charitable gift cards start at $25.

IRS-qualified charity of the recipient’s choice.”

The cards start at $25, and the purchase amount counts as a charitable gift for the buyer’s tax planning purposes, he adds.

Businesses can build their brands by ordering cards customized with their logo to give to clients, customers and employees.

“It’s a wonderful, tax-deductible way for companies to create market value and community impact,” Howard says.

“Corporate participants tell us the cards help boost employee morale and deepen client relationships by empowering recipients to make personal choices.

It’s a way of saying, What’s important to you is important to me. And it’s a smart alternative to traditional holiday gifts—after all, who needs another fruit basket?”

Financial adviser Joan Malloy, managing partner and director of family strategy at Greenway Family Office, purchased holiday-themed cards for clients and colleagues last year. “They Image cour were a huge hit,” she says. “They allowed us tesy of Yo uthBridge Communit to honor the season and show appreciation y Founda tion for clients and staff while also avoiding the excess that often dominates the holidays. Everyone appreciated being able to choose a cause that reflects their own values, instead of us making a donation on their behalf. I even bought cards as stocking stuffers for my children! You’re never too young to share the joy of giving.”

Follow TheKimberly Leader ] McKinney by karyn meyer

When she began at Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis, Kimberly McKinney didn’t see herself staying at the nonprofit more than a few years. That was 18 years ago, and she now serves as CEO of the local chapter. She continues to be moved by the dedicated work of her team, and is grateful to be able to provide much more than a house to the families they serve.

What did you study in college? »Organizational management and marketing, at East Tennessee State University.

»

What did you do earlier in your career?

Right out of college, I had a very short stint at a bank, which was like a square peg in a round hole. Then I accepted a job as marketing director for a local restaurant franchise. I didn’t want to relocate, so then I started as the director of tourism and economic development for the town of Jonesborough. When I moved to St. Louis, my first job was with the City of Ferguson as the economic development coordinator, and then I came to Habitat.

»

What was your first job with the nonprofit?

I joined in December of 1997 as the first-ever paid development director.

I did everything in this role because we were so small at the time. So I was teaching volunteer orientation, writing grants, raising money, doing speaking presentations, building awareness—it was an all-encompassing job. In March 1999, I became executive director, which switched to the title of CEO.

»

Was your vision to end up in a position like this?

No, I didn’t see myself in this kind of role. I had worked five years in the private industry, five as a public employee, and I thought Habitat would be my five in the nonprofit sector.

»

What is your day-to-day like?

No two days are alike, which I love. I oversee anything and everything. I have a great team of staff, and it’s all about keeping up with what’s going on without interfering. I work with a great board of directors, and my job is to keep them educated and engaged. I help the organization raise money, serve on other boards, and represent Habitat in the community, which I love doing. Give me a microphone and a stage, and I’m in my element! your management style? »I amWhat’s not afraid to be hands-on, but I also trust the people I hire and let them do

their job. It’s all about promoting balance. The work we do here is really complicated. It’s hard enough to be a nonprofit, but to operate as a construction company also can be difficult. So it’s really important not only for myself, but also for the people I work with, to have the opportunity to play hard. I’m always checking in with employees to make sure they’re taking time off. It also needs to be about the individual and not just the work.

What do you expect from your team? »I expect a lot, and I’m not shy about admitting that. The most important

thing about working for Habitat is having a strong belief that what we do is important. Employees need to understand the gratitude that comes with having somewhere to call home. It’s not just that these families have nowhere to live, they don’t have a home. If it doesn’t speak to your heart, it will be really hard to be successful here. I still tear up to this day at every house dedication. The day that doesn’t happen, I’ll look for a new job.

Were you familiar with Habitat »before working there?

photo: Bill barrett

I was, but it’s such a brand name that I was guilty—like a lot of people are—of thinking I knew more than I really did. A main assumption is that we give houses away; we don’t. We give people the opportunity to be homeowners. Our families have to do a lot to live in one of our houses: They put a lot of time and labor into the house, while also raising a family and working.

»

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

When I worked in Jonesborough, I reported to the town administrator.

When things got really busy, I still hear him saying, “Sometimes you have to eat the elephant one bite at a time.” We often get wrapped up in something monumental, but we just need to take it one step at a time.

cover story

resources [Rich Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty by tony di martino St. Louis is known for its unique combination of small-town warmth and big-city resources. Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty

offers the best of both worlds. “We’re a deeply rooted local firm whose expert agents know the region intimately and understand our clients’ needs,” says broker/owner Andy Dielmann. “At the same time, we’re a powerhouse international agency with incredible marketing reach and exposure.”

The firm is an affiliate of Sotheby’s International Realty, a worldwide collection of luxury real estate companies. “They invited us to join 10 years ago, based on our outstanding client service, business ethics, average sale price and market share,” Dielmann explains. “They’re very selective about their affiliates. I’m proud to say we’re the only Missouri firm that shares the Sotheby’s brand.”

What does the Sotheby’s connection mean to the average St. Louisan who is buying or selling a home? “The relationship gives us unparalleled technological and marketing capabilities, as well as an incredible advertising presence in print, online and on social media,” Dielmann says. “The power and range of Sotheby’s resources enables us to present area properties not just locally, but on national and international markets. No one else in town has that kind of reach.” Each Dielmann Sotheby’s home gets listed across a broad range of outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Architectural Digest, he notes. “It’s a perfect fit, because helping people relocate into or out of town is a major part of our business.

And Sotheby’s markets to each of the niches we specialize in, from luxury and historical homes to ranches and farms.”

Dielmann has been in real estate 40 years, starting out as a 21-year-old kid determined to avoid a desk job. “I got into it right out of college, and it turned out to be my true calling,” he says. “It’s a relationship business, built on trust. That’s what I love about it.” He handpicked his Andy Dielmann leadership team based on their knowledge, experience and vision. “Our 100 agents share our dedication to outstanding service,” he adds. “They’re available 24/7, making sure every client gets the attention they deserve, whether they’re selling their home or looking for a new one.”

Last year was the firm’s best ever, with sales up more than 35 percent. First quarter sales figures indicate this year will be even better, Dielmann notes. But he and his agents have no intention of resting on their laurels. “We’re determined to stay on the cutting edge of marketing and technology, without ever losing the personal touch,” he says. “We’re dedicated to delivering incredible service, whether we’re representing a $100,000 home or a multimillion-dollar property. We know we’re doing it right, because the backbone of our business is repeat clients and referrals. The strength of our leadership team, the skill of our agents, our loyalty to St. Louis homeowners, and the depth of our Sotheby’s resources are crucial to our success. Together, we’re unbeatable.”

The Prices

$7 to $12 starters, $18 to $24 entrees

The Favorites

Yellowfin Tuna Nacho, Chipotle Cherry Pancakes, Butternut Squash soup, Cassoulet au Poulet, Salmon with Coconut Curry and Mango Relish

This charming spot in Benton Park started a couple of years ago, serving only breakfast and lunch.

Last year, it expanded into the space next door and added dinner, much to the benefit of anyone who appreciates creative cuisine.

Chef/owner Brian Hale has an impressive provenance, with stints at Monarch and The Chase’s Eau Bistro included. Here he lets loose and while that can be an act of chef self-indulgence in the wrong hands, Hale has the chops to do it. Many have produced unlikely pairings of savory and sweet, but rarely as well as his Chipotle Cherry Pancakes, offered at an unbelievable $5. Three large griddle cakes, darkened with bing cherries, meaty bacon and chipotle chilis, come stacked and dripping with house-made apricot marmalade, Turkish apricots and balsamic reduction—and more meaty bacon. The blend is outstanding and amazingly satisfying. Don’t pass it up.

Another starter, Shrimp & Chorizo Canneloni ($14), was quite good, consisting of a single large pasta tube stuffed with the spicy sausage and bits of diced shrimp.

It was slathered with tangy red pepper coulis and creamy bechamel sauce. How does he do with subtler ingredients, like sushi-grade fish? His Yellowfin Tuna Nacho ($12) is one of the best starters I’ve had, and among the few that blend ingredients so perfectly that no single element overtakes the others. Delicate seared tuna, encrusted with black and white sesame seeds, sits on paper-thin and salty wonton chips and is topped with small-dice mango-pepper relish and wasabi aioli.

An entrée of Cassoulet au Poulet ($18) was an enormous serving and quite tasty, served as a brothy dish with shredded white-meat chicken, white beans, arugula and very well-prepared pork belly—crisped and meaty. The menu listed truffles as an ingredient, but I didn’t see or taste them. It was an enticing dish, but should have been less soupy and if not exactly firm, more velvety in texture.

The night’s special, Salmon with Coconut Curry and Mango Relish, was a successful dish of well-peppered, seared salmon topped with a very good butter-coconut

sauce that had a slight curry bite and bits of mango, red onion and green pepper. The accompanying roasted asparagus spears, however, had a funny taste, something perhaps picked up in the pan/grill that interfered with their delicate flavor.

Chilean Sea Bass ($25) was nicely done as a thick fillet, well-browned on top. I take some exception with the accompanying side, golden raisin rice, which had too many raisins, making the dish overly sweet and— we eat with our eyes, too—overly white in color.

The big disappointment was the Spaghetti Squash with Browned Butter ($5) side dish. It came way too and had a peculiar sweet flavor, perhaps vanilla, that simply did not work.

Desserts, also made in-house, were enjoyable. Our Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding ($6) came with sea salt caramel ice cream from Serendipity and a drizzle of Kahlua cream sauce. The cakey dish was subtley flavored, with nice crisped spots around the edges and good texture inside.

LEISURE

Getmeet toDavid know ] Weglarz of Olivette

by stephanie zeilenga | photo by bill barrett

What I do: Founder and owner of Still 630, a craft distillery in downtown St. Louis. First acts: Before I was a distiller, I was an English major, whitewater rafter and futures trader. Learning the trade: I always wanted to start my own business, but never knew what. I started brewing beer with one of my buddies in his kitchen, and we sat there looking at the beers we made but didn’t want to drink.

What we did want to drink, though, was whiskey. So I started going to workshops, and I did an apprenticeship at Woodinville Whiskey in Seattle. I read everything I could get my hands on. Worthy of the top shelf: We’re grain to glass, so we control the process and do it all by hand from the very beginning. We twice distill all our products. A big win: Still 630 won a gold and two bronze medals—our first awards—at the American Craft Spirits Association Awards in February. More than 200 distilleries entered. I was mostly self-taught learning this business, and I’m still the sole guy here. To get this kind of recognition is great for me and for my wife, who supported me through it all. Most

valuable lesson I’ve learned along the way: Patience. Everything takes

longer and is more difficult than you expect.

St. Louis transplant: I was born in

Michigan, and I consider myself a Midwestern boy. My wife is from here, and like all good St. Louis girls, she came back home and brought me with her. We’ve got two little kids—the oldest just turned 2 in February.

Hopefully they’ll be heirs to my Still 630 empire.

Education: I went to Wabash College, which is a tiny, private, liberal arts college in Indiana. It’s an all-male school, one of only a few in the country.

Go-to-cocktail: A Boulevardier, which is 1/3 rye whiskey, 1/3 vermouth and 1/3 Campari Favorite St. Louis activity: I love visiting restaurants and breweries around town, and I also love riding my bike around Forest Park. Favorite thing about this town: All the free cultural activities, museums and parks. I think the city has a great, rich history, and it’s a great place to call home. Childhood ambition: I wanted to be a novelist, and I hope this distillery will grow big enough to give me time to pursue that. First job: Paper boy in Midland, Michigan. Best advice I’ve ever received: Don’t give up. Best vacation: My honeymoon to Tahiti and Bora Bora. How I unwind at the end of the day: With a nice cocktail. Goals I’m working toward: World domination.

Far From the Madding Crowd

» From beginning to end, Far From the Madding

Crowd, adapted from Thomas Hardy’s 1874 novel, is a luscious visual treat. Shot along the south coast of England, it tells the story of Bathsheba Everdene, an independent woman who suddenly inherits a farm, and her three suitors. There’s Gabriel Oak, a handsome sheep farmer; William Boldwood, an older, wealthy bachelor; and Sergeant Troy, an arrogant army man. Although written more than a century ago, Bathsheba’s story will appeal to modern viewers as she struggles to make her way through a man’s world.

The casting is key to the movie’s charm. Carey Mulligan is perfect as the independent, willful Bathsheba. But then again, when has she ever not been great? Michael Sheen makes a sympathetic Boldwood, an older man grasping at a chance to find love and family. And Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts plays Gabriel Oak with a rugged masculinity that’s appealing in every way.

[a clear focus SLUCare Physician Group by karyn meyer

Parents get overjoyed at each milestone in a child’s development, like when they first

grasp an object or focus on a loved one’s face. But for some children, a misalignment of the eyes makes these small tasks a big challenge. The condition, strabismus, affects 3 to 4 percent of children in the U.S., causing vision impairment and slowing developmental skills. Fortunately for St. Louis families, the pediatric ophthalmology specialists at SLUCare Physician Group are experts in the latest treatments, and in offering families comprehensive, compassionate care.

SLUCare pediatric ophthalmologist Dr. Rafif Ghadban, an assistant professor of pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, says the cause often is misunderstood—and unknown. “Children with special conditions, such as Down syndrome and cerebral palsy, are at a higher risk for developing strabismus, and, as with adults, it can be brought on by trauma or stroke.” The condition is classified by its cause or the direction of misalignment: esotropia (eye crosses in), exotropia (eye drifts out), hypotropia (eye drifts down) and hypertropia (eye drifts up).

Since strabismus strongly affects the development of depth perception, Ghadban stresses that parents need to bring in their children at the first sign of a problem. In some cases, it can be a symptom of a larger issue, like a tumor or excess fluid in the brain. “We have an entire team of specialists who work together to deal with pediatric eye problems,” Ghadban says. “SLUCare has an orthoptist who works specifically with children to measure eye movement. She measures all of my strabismus patients and is great with kids.” As part of Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG), SLUCare physicians receive timely information about trials nationwide to help them stay up-to-date on the latest treatments and studies. SLUCare Physician Group also conducts its own pediatric ophthalmology research.

The first step toward treatment, Ghadban notes, is to determine whether the eyes are working together. If one eye is used more than the other, a child can develop amblyopia, which is a reduction or complete loss of vision in the less dominant eye. “With amblyopia, the brain receives two different images and ignores the one from the eye that is misaligned,” Ghadban explains. “If we don’t treat it early on, before the age of 9 or 10, vision loss can be permanent.” She and her team assess which eye the child prefers by measuring visual acuity through matching exercises and fixation preference tests. Treatment involves wearing a patch on the dominant eye or using eye drops.

To fix the misalignment, Ghadban says some patients may respond to glasses, prisms or exercises, but the majority will require surgery, which can be performed at any age and more than once if needed.

Two-year-old Kylee Jones is one patient who required surgery. Her mom, Desiree Graham, took her to Ghadban when she was 7 months old because Kylee’s eyes were crossing inward. “I noticed something was wrong when she was about 3 months old,” Graham says.

Ghadban says Kylee had a large-angle esotropia. She started wearing an eye patch and Ghadban performed surgery at 9 months. “Her eyes improved, and she uses both equally now,” the doctor says.

Graham was happy with the results, too. “Before surgery, Kylee couldn’t pick up anything, and now she is starting to grab objects and feed herself,” she says.

“I had heard great things about the SLUCare Physician Group, and I love everyone we’ve worked with. Dr. Ghadban really works on building a relationship with Kylee,” Graham says. As a mom herself, Ghadban understands that parents want a doctor who listens and is patient. “I’ll spend as much time with parents as they need to answer any questions,” she says.

parenting: one step at a time b y S a r a S a v at

Each stage of a child’s life comes with new joys, discoveries and challenges. It’s only natural for parents to worry about them every step of the way, from baby vaccinations to teen drug use. Anyone who’s done it will tell you: parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world.

Fortunately, you’re not alone. We asked local experts to give us a little generic guidance. after all, you can never get too much good advice.

Vacc i n e s

RUMOR MILL

More than a dozen scientific studies have proven that early childhood vaccines do not cause autism. The most recent study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), found that toddlers who have an elevated risk of autism were no more likely to be diagnosed with the disorder if they were vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella than if they weren’t.

The study of nearly 100,000 toddlers who had an older sibling with autism leaves no doubt that there is no connection between the vaccine and autism, experts say.

Still, some parents have concerns. According to SLUCare pediatrician Dr. Ken Haller, it comes down to two emotions: love and fear. “Parents love their kids, and they don’t want anything bad to happen to them,” he says. “When it comes to

vaccines, though, the fear should be if your child doesn’t get them. We vaccinate against diseases because they still make kids sick, and as we saw earlier this year with the Disney measles outbreak, your kid can catch these really bad diseases anywhere, even in the ‘happiest place on Earth.’

Dr. Gregory Finn, a pediatrician at Blue Fish Pediatrics, says parents have trouble sorting reliable sources of information from poor sources or internet myths. “When you read unreliable sources, it is easy to believe that some diseases no longer exist, that vaccines have hidden and dangerous side effects, or that you can protect your child from deadly disease with food or herbs. In reality, none of that is true,” he says.

TRUTH OR NOT?

Already this year, more than 160 people from 19 states were reported to have measles, a disease we thought had been eradicated. But due to certain loopholes, some parents avoid getting their children vaccinated. What does this mean for the rest of us—and for these vulnerable children?

Multiple vaccines will overwhelm a baby’s immune system.

“Vaccines cannot overwhelm a child’s immune system any more than breastfeeding can overwhelm their tummy,” Finn says. “Infant immune systems are exposed to thousands of proteins that the immune system must process during labor, during breastfeeding, and when exposed to siblings or pets. Infant immune systems are more than able to handle the small number of proteins in a vaccine.” Spacing out vaccines is a safe option. There are important reasons not to spread out vaccines. “First, the shots that we give at 2, 4, and 6 months do not have live viruses or bacteria in them,” Haller explains. “They have proteins that cannot cause disease but are distinctive enough for the baby’s immune system to know they come from organisms that are ‘not me.’ It provides a sort of ‘wanted poster’ for the immune system saying, basically, if you see anything like this, get rid of it!” But there is a danger in delaying them. “We give vaccines as early as 2 months because the younger a baby is, the harder these infections

will hit them,” he says. Finally, Haller says studies of baby pain indicate that getting multiple shots is no worse than getting only one. “All we do by spreading them out is create even more painful experiences for our babies.”  Do I have to vaccinate my school-age child? According to Haller, public schools and licensed day care centers require vaccines prior to enrollment. However, a child may be excused for a documented allergy to a vaccine component, and parents may claim an exemption based on a deeply-held religious belief. Missouri does not recognize the “personal belief exemption” which allows parents to say, essentially, “I don’t want to.”

to note

Haller says vaccines have been the victims of their own success. “They have been extremely effective at making once-common childhood illnesses so rare that young parents have no idea how bad they are.”

In 1962:

« One in a million kids in the U. S. got measles. « Of those, about 100,000 got severe ear infections from the disease and many resulted in permanent hearing loss.

« About 50,000 got pneumonia, many of them ending up in the hospital. « Another 1,000 got encephalitis, a severe infection of the brain and spinal cord that left many with mental retardation.

« As many as 500 kids died of complications of this childhood illness.

Need more convincing? Finn notes that an unvaccinated child can be a walking time bomb. “If an unvaccinated child spreads pertussis to a newborn, the newborn can die,” he says. “And some children cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, such as cancer treatments. A child who has survived leukemia should not have to fear for their life when they go to school.”

Typ e 1 D i a b e t e s About 1 in 400 children and adolescents have Type 1 diabetes, and experts say the incidence is increasing at a rate of about 3 percent per year.

So what is going on?

AN AUTOIMMUNE ISSUE Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, causing high blood sugars, explains pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jennifer Sprague of Washington University School of Medicine. There are genetic factors that make developing Type 1 diabetes more likely, however no single gene causes Type 1 diabetes.

Children are more commonly diagnosed between 4 and 6 years of age and at puberty, but Type 1 diabetes also can occur in infants and adults. “Before being diagnosed, parents may notice their child is drinking more, peeing more or eating more, but losing weight. They may start getting up at night to go to the bathroom or having nighttime wetting accidents. It takes months to develop diabetes,” Sprague says.

One in four people diagnosed present with a life-threatening condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which happens when blood sugars get very high and the body begins to make acid. “DKA is more common in younger children and becomes less common in the teenage years. In the more severe cases with DKA, patients may have abdominal pain, vomiting, changes in breathing or shortness of breath, and changes in mental status,” Sprague warns.

AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS When a child is diagnosed with diabetes, it impacts the whole family.“ Managing diabetes in young children is a challenge and requires attentive, vigilant adult caretakers to monitor symptoms, food intake and physical activity,” says Dr. Myrto Frangos, a pediatric endocrinologist at Mercy Children’s Hospital. “With time, the children learn to recognize symptoms of low and high blood glucose. They learn to check their own blood glucose level and give insulin shots at a young age. The whole family is involved in helping monitor for signs of low blood glucose.”

Sprague says the American Diabetes Association has a resource called ‘Safe at School’ to help guide parents in getting their child’s school prepared. “Their child’s diabetes team will give the school a written care plan with many of the details needed to care for a child with diabetes,” she says.

While a diabetes diagnosis may initially cause a lot of stress and worry, Sprague says it’s important for kids and families to realize that children with diabetes are still normal. “They still can go to birthday parties, play sports and do everything their classmates are doing, but it does take some extra work and planning to make sure those activities are safe and healthy,” she explains.

The long-term prognosis of a diabetic child who manages the disorder well is excellent, Frangos says. “Managing Type 1 diabetes entails monitoring blood glucose levels several times a day, counting the grams of carbohydrates consumed and dosing insulin accordingly, exercising regularly and adjusting insulin accordingly.” However, when diabetes is not well treated, the risk of complications like heart attacks, blindness and kidney failure increases.

The good news, according to Frangos, is that there continues to be research to find a cure and improvements in insulin delivery and blood glucose monitoring devices.

D r u g s a n d A lc o h o l Adolescence arguably presents the most challenges for parents. It’s a time when kids are struggling to find their path, and they don’t want Mom and Dad in the way. They turn to friends and experimentation to assert their separation from childhood, and that often includes drugs and alcohol.

Substance Abuse at a Glance While at least 70 percent of Missouri teens have had at least one alcoholic drink, regular alcohol consumption has continued to decline from its peak in the 1970s.

Currently, fewer than 40 percent of high school seniors report alcohol use in the past 30 days, according to Ned Presnall, executive director of the Clayton Behavioral Addiction Medicine Center. Cigarette use also has continued to decline, although experts are concerned about e-tobacco products on the rise.

However, heroin use has increased, and marijuana use has held steady over the past 20 years. “One concern with marijuana is that fewer teens perceive regular marijuana use as a major health risk,” Presnall says. “Decreased perception of risk is one factor that drives increased use. I expect marijuana use to increase among teens as the conversation around legalization continues.”

According to Julie Weber, director of Missouri Poison Center, abuse of common over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medication also is prevalent among teens.

These drugs include cough and cold medications containing dextromethorphan (commonly referred to as ‘Triple C’), diphenhydramine products (Benadryl), prescription pain medications (opioids), and prescription anxiolytics (benzodiazepines). Presnall says the increase in prescription pain medication abuse is particularly concerning because these drugs are often a ‘gateway’ to heroin use. “K2 (synthetic marijuana) is still around and unfortunately, it may be on the rise again in Missouri with a new twist on the chemical formulation,” Weber says.

The Teenage Brain According to Presnall, the teenage brain is developing in two crucial ways. “First, the prefrontal cortex (the seat of judgment, decision-making and self-control) is still developing,” he explains. “Second, the teen is developing the capacity to regulate his or her emotions. Regular drug and alcohol use impairs prefrontal cortex development and prevents teens from developing healthy methods of emotional regulation and coping.”

These teens also are at risk for chronic mental health and substance use disorders later in life.

Communicate, Supervise, Set Limits According to Weber, parents should be on the lookout for changes in behavior (moodiness, aggression, loudness), academic or behavioral problems in school, changes in groups of friends, decreased interest in activities and appearance, slurred speech, red eyes, flushed face, coordination problems, memory or concentration problems, alcohol on the breath, or the presence of drugs or alcohol among their things. Nodding off or falling asleep unexpectedly is a sign of opioid or heroin use.

Weber says communication is essential to preventing teen drug and alcohol use.

“Our teens are educated and smart,” she says. “We need to give them credit for their knowledge and explain the risks. Often a personal experience will drive home the message. If a teen can see how drugs or alcohol has affected someone’s life, and the stress it puts on the family, I think their choice may change.” With regards to the newer drugs available to teens, including K2 products and bath salts, Weber says parents and teens need to understand the risks are high.

Presnall recommends a straightforward and non-reactive parenting style. “Do not give into the argument that alcohol or drug use is normal for teens,” he says. “Our best data supports the conclusion that only a minority of teens engage in regular drug and alcohol use. Prohibiting substance use, providing regular supervision, and setting limits in a non-reactive manner provide teenagers a safe environment in which to grow and develop. Teenagers will test limits, but that is no reason to remove the limits that promote their health and safety.”

Parents also need to dispose of all unused prescription medications in their household and closely monitor controlled medications. “Accidental poisoning has now surpassed motor vehicle accidents as the No. 1 cause of accidental death in the United States,” Presnall says.

If you have concerns, resources are available, including school counselors, teachers, ministers, church communities parent-teacher organizations, Partnership for DrugFree Kids, and the Missouri Department of Mental Health.

but something in her demeanor told me there were other feelings below the surface. She was describing her family at one of our retreats, and as she began to talk about her brother Jimmy, her body language changed.

Jimmy has Down syndrome, and he has had a challenging first six years of life. Emily has become extremely attached to him and is an integral part of his daily care. Her voice quivered and she began to cry as she described how scared she had been when she’d thought Jimmy might die during a health episode.

She got mad at herself in that moment, saying, “I don’t know why I’m crying, there’s nothing to cry about, he’s fine now.”

But the tears refused to quit.

Every child who has a sibling or parent with a disability or chronic illness is affected deeply. Many take on the role of surrogate parent, and they feel valuable because of this. These siblings learn to get out of themselves and become of service to others, and this can cause them to be more mature for their age.

But there also can be negative costs to having a brother like Jimmy. Emily had decided inwardly years ago that her brother’s needs were more important than hers, and that she shouldn’t have needs. It was really hard for her to ask for help or to allow others to be there for her. Emily and others in her shoes often don’t feel safe to express all their emotions about their lot in life. They sense that their parents often are on edge, and they don’t want to add any stressors to their parents’ load. So they repress anger, fear, disappointment, sadness, resentment and hurt and put on a perpetual happy face.

Being honest with us about her feelings and expressing all of them was cathartic for Emily. She learned that any emotion she has about Jimmy and her family is OK, and that her parents will be able to handle her feelings. She’s aware now that it’s acceptable to have needs, and that her desires are important, too. Finally, Emily gave herself permission to be a kid, and not to carry the burden and responsibility of her brother’s care with her 24/7.

It is critical for parents to ascertain what siblings of sick children are making of their experience, and to help them reframe any negative or false beliefs. Emily can continue to be helpful with Jimmy, but she’s doing it now as a big sister, not as the party responsible for him. And she is doing a much better job of taking care of her feelings and needs. Kids who have a sibling with a chronic illness need help in gaining perspective.

That way they can be and act like the kids that they are—and their experience can strengthen them, not consume them.

MAY 13, 2015

When it comes to male grooming, things aren’t what they used to be. Or are they? Barber shops have begun to see a resurgence in the last decade, and thanks to the rise of ‘metrosexuals’ and changing ideals about men’s grooming routines, barber shops have a new place in the beauty industry.

While chains like Great Clips and high-end salons have been the most popular, and even most obvious, options for men’s haircuts, barbershops offer a level of expertise not typical in traditional hair salons. For the last 10 years, St. Louis’ Southtown Barbershop owner Dave Devine has experienced the success and staying power of barbershops.

“All these ‘chain’ shops have their place, as do salons and barbershops,” Devine says. “I can only speak for my place. We specialize or cater to certain styles and cuts—take, for instance, a flattop. You might be able to get one at a chain store or a salon, but I do those every day, every week.

Would you rather trust me to do that, or someone who might cut a flattop once in a blue moon?

And I believe there is a difference in the atmosphere. We not only allow, but also encourage, group discussions. Sometimes it gets loud!”

Not only have barbershops made a comeback, but so have hairstyles of the past. Devine says some of his most popular requests are for buzzed sides with longer top sections styled with pomade.

Think World War II hero meets Brooklyn hipster (or Brad Pitt in Fury). But even if trendy, retro cuts aren’t your style, barbershops cater to a wide variety of clipping, from head trims to taper cuts, beard grooming and shaves. Some barber shops, like Blades On Washington, even offer manicures, a service that definitely would not have been offered pre-Queer Eye America.

Between cuts and shaves, remember that your grooming habits are ultimately what will keep your hair looking and feeling the healthiest. Devine recommends a regular routine that includes a little product and minimal upkeep, simple grooming guidelines that can go a long way. “If you are growing a beard, remember you should treat it the same as the hair on your head,” Devine says. “When you wash or shampoo it, you are stripping the natural oil away. Use conditioner, don’t over shampoo, and get some beard oil to keep it moisturized and feeling soft.”

He summarizes it this way: Adopt a grooming routine that fits your lifestyle, meets your needs and above all, makes your significant other happy. Very sound advice!

300 GAY AVENUE

210 TOPTON WAY

Doug Holtzman has moved around quite a bit … between Ladue and Clayton, that is.

Prime corner lot will allow for a first-floor master and at-level garage. Can orient toward Gay or Kingsbury Boulevard. Ideal Clayton schools locale with mature trees.

Walk to downtown, park-like setting across the street.

Perfect custom home setting on tree-lined street in Clayton Gardens. Clayton school district and walk to downtown shops, restaurants and community center. Lot can accommodate a large home with up to 5,000 square feet of living space.

Born and raised in Ladue, it’s safe to say the commercial real estate executive likes the area. He and his wife Sabina lived in their Pillsbury Place home for five years with his two children, then moved to a completely renovated Clayton home.

“We rented the Pillsbury house to a hockey player for two years because of the real estate market at the time we were moving,” Holtzman explains. “And now we’re ready to sell it.” The more than 10,000 square feet of living space has countless amenities, and Holtzman says they didn’t have to do any major renovations. “It was originally built by the builder as his personal home, so he included tons of molding, wood accents and other custom touches,” Holtzman explains “It’s just a really well-built space. We did add a home theater, which was one of our favorite places to hang out.” A self-proclaimed ‘car nut,’ Holtzman also put a lot of work into the three-car garage.

Even though the couple’s work schedules didn’t allow them lots of time to entertain, when they did have people over, the house provided all the essentials for hosting with ease. “There is lots of space, and it’s a very open floor plan,” Holtzman says. The large gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry is another bonus for get-togethers. “And even though the house is set close to McKnight Road, because of the landscaping and tiers in the yard, you don’t feel like you’re sitting on top of it.

The house is situated perfectly on the lot.” Holtzman says they had plans to put in a pool, so there is plenty of room to build one.

He describes the basement as a mini house. “My son loved having his room down there because it has a full kitchen, large bedroom with its own bathroom, and lots of space—it’s got everything you need.” The lower level also features another half bath, rec room and exercise room. “Being in the business I am, when I saw the house, I just fell in love with it,” Holtzman recalls. “It was built well with all the extras.”

Call Mike Rechan today for complete details on building your spectacular dream home.

After

Dear Homework,

We recently lost a large tree in our front yard, and I now find the exterior lacks something.

You always have such clever solutions. Do you have any ideas to add some charm to my lengthy Colonial?

Sincerely, —Feeling Exposed

Dear Feeling Exposed,

before

before

Your submission allows me to make what I think is an important point about the relationship between cars and houses: Cars parked close to houses often can overwhelm the effect of the architecture and landscape. Most suburban residences are reached by automobile, but we often neglect to deal with them aesthetically once they arrive. They can co-exist handsomely, but it takes some planning.

You will note that I fill the street-side edge of the driveway with formal and informal landscaping. The formal section of clipped evergreens aligns with the two-story portion of the façade. An area of informal azaleas and low grasses borders the hedge. As you can see, the new plantings (grown to car fender height) keep the cars from dominating the presentation of the house. This tactic of penning-in the cars can help the look of many driveways.

With your house, these landscape additions bring a second layer of architectural depth (because the plants are clipped formally), which is aesthetically helpful to such a long façade.

I also show a new tall evergreen on the left side of the elevation, which helps hide the basketball hoop and lower-level parking from street view; the new tall shade tree at the street helps frame the whole composition.

Good luck with the changes, —Homework

Herbs, vegetables and flowers

make good ‘bedfellows.’ That’s because most have the same growing requirements: full sun, consistent moisture and good drainage. A garden planted with flowers or vegetables in segregated beds might appear well-planned, but this separation may not make for the most functional or intriguing garden. There are many reasons, both aesthetic and practical, to merge the two worlds. By combining ornamentals and edibles, you’ll maximize your available space and add the unexpected to your garden’s design. As a bonus, many plants actually benefit each other by controlling pests, attracting pollinators and enriching the soil, an arrangement known in gardening circles as companion planting.

If you want to mix and mingle vegetables and flowers with success, just remember to choose plants with the same growing requirements.

Typically vegetables require at least six hours of sun each day. There are exceptions, such as lettuce, parsley and spinach, that will tolerate light shade. Vegetables also need well-draining soil and consistent moisture. There is a huge selection of blooming plants that like full sun, as well, and benefit from a similar watering routine as their edible companions. But always check the plant tags to make sure. Both fruiting and flowering plants need a lot of nutrients to thrive. Since you are going to eat some of what you’re growing, use an organic fertilizer and avoid chemical pest controls.

open Edibles in containers couldn’t be more popular this season, but why not mix in flowers, too?

«

Pick containers for functionality as well as beauty. Make sure the containers have adequate drainage and are made of materials free from chemicals that could leach into your edibles. « Select your plants. Many herbs, vegetables and flowers do well in containers, so be creative with cultivars. Consider the height, abundance and color combinations. « Prepare your soil. With the right soil preparation, you will harvest an abundance of fresh herbs, vegetables and blooms. Enrich the soil with compost for optimum nutrition. « Fertilize and hydrate. Container plants usually require fertilizing and frequent watering. Use an organic liquid fertilizer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and water when the top inch of soil is dry. You may have to water every day during hot, dry weather.

Hos Mad Men Farewell

by stephanie zeilenga Mad Men’s final chapter airs May 17. Bid everyone’s favorite chain-smoking, martini-swilling ad men and women a fabulous, boozy farewell with a lavish cocktail party and midcentury flair.

Savories The best cocktail parties serve food easily eaten with one hand—and it doesn’t take much research to see that iconic finger foods of the ’60s and ’70s make perfect accompaniments for a stiff martini. Serve a lavish spread of retro nibbles, including shrimp cocktail, pimento cheese ball, Ritz crackers, Swedish meatballs, deviled eggs, crudites, blue cheese-stuffed olives and pigs in a blanket.

• For a fancier bash with a sit-down dinner, consider serving beef Wellington or chicken a la king paired with white dinner rolls, potato casserole and string beans.

Or, ask guests to bring their favorite ’60s-era dish for a nostalgic potluck.

Sweets For desserts, why not go delightfully kitsch? Serve mini pineapple upside-down cake, ambrosia salad or a Jell-O fruit salad ring (etsy.com has great mold shapes).

• Celebrate the show’s excesses in a fun way: offer each guest a box of candy cigarettes, available at oldtimecandy.com, or locally at Kirkwood Sugar Shack (151 W. Argonne Ave.).

BEAUTIFUL KITCHENS & BATHS

at Home] Cocktail Party Scene Check out amctv.com for decorations, including Mad Men masks, posters, door hangers, and even the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce company logo.

• Ban all (OK, just some) modern electronics from the party area—hide cell phones, remotes, laptops and tablets.

Put out a rotary-dial phone (check vintage shops) and black-and-white family photos.

• Do a bit of treasure-hunting in local vintage stores—see if you can find era-appropriate serving trays, barware and household decor.

• To get everyone in the ’60s mood, have back-to-back episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show (available for streaming on Netflix) playing in the background.

Sips

This one’s a no-brainer.

Keep it simple with martinis (vodka or gin, dirty or with a twist) and Manhattans (bourbon, vermouth and bitters).

• Also have on hand some quality tonic water, so picky drinkers can sip on something simpler, like gin and tonics or vodka tonics. Fever-Tree tonic, available online and at most liquor stores, is always a good choice.
