from the editor's desk Sometimes, information that pops up in our paper is news to me—as in information I simply didn’t know, even after living in St. Louis for 45 years. Take the neighborhood feature in today’s issue, Eat, Drink, Be Merry in the Lou, which lists fun things to do in various communities around town. I had no idea St. Louis has so many spacious parks. There’s Castlewood in Ballwin and Blackburn in Webster Groves, Deer Creek Park in Maplewood and Berra on The Hill.

And, as the article points out, we have no shortage of special events for people to get out and enjoy, if they’re so inclined.

True, we all probably know about the Saint Louis Art Fair held each fall in Clayton, but what about the summertime U. City Jazz Festival in Heman Park, or Greentree Festival in Kirkwood Park? Did you know there’s an annual Festival of Nations in Tower Grove Park in late August? And an art-and-eats event in Maplewood July 8?

Sure high-profile cities like Chicago and San Francisco have natural attractions we here in land-locked St. Louis can’t compete with. But I take exception to comparisons that disparage the Lou. If you emerge smiling after bumper-to-bumper traffic from San Francisco to Point Reyes—or along Lake Shore Drive on a Sunday—you’re a bigger person than I. Not to mention, where will you park once you get there? (And how much will it cost you?) I say it’s hard to beat springtime in St. Louis—one walk down Wydown Boulevard will confirm that. As would a visit to any of those scenic, peaceful parks, I’ll bet.

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

A big, creative congratulations to local artist William H. Neukomm, whose painting 'Portrait of Katrina' has been accepted as part of the international portrait competition, the BP Portrait Award. Chosen from more than 2,500 submissions from 80 countries, the painting is part of a special exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London that travels the U.K. through June 2017. Neukomm, now of Webster Groves, is an alumnus of Parkway Central, Kansas City Art Institute and Florence Academy of Art.

My next door neighbors just put their

house on the market. And while this does not throw me as much as my friend moving away, it does cause some worry. Do you think it would be too much to ask if I could interview potential buyers? You know, assuming all else is equal. How does one go about proposing such a nervy, yet necessary, thing? See, I’ve been really lucky with my neighbors for the past 30 years, and I don’t want to take any chances with this new one.

During my adult life, I’ve lived in three different houses. The first, a little starter home in Brentwood, came with elderly neighbors who subsequently went to better places: The Gatesworth and heaven. We ended up with two great new neighbors, who, like us, saw nothing wrong with sitting outside drinking beer while watching our son ride his Big Wheels down the sidewalk. We were not a classy crew, but we had lots of laughs and learned how to be good homeowners by shaming each other into appropriate lawn and home care. We were sad when it was time to move, but a two-bedroom, one-bath house wasn’t going to work once another child came along.

Our next house was in Webster Groves, and we hit the jackpot again with neighbors. Next door was a family with three boys who played soccer morning, noon and night and a mom who could take one look at my soccer-obsessed son’s injuries and determine if they required a hospital visit. On our other side was a couple who had raised their kids but weren’t annoyed by ours. I never had a beer with either of them, but that was OK too. We kept an eye on each other’s houses, and all ended up moving to new homes within the same year.

I’ve been in my current house in Clayton for the past 14 years, and I lucked out again with neighbors.

One of them called one afternoon to let me know that Stella, our dog, was on his very nice, screened-in back porch—and she had made herself comfortable on the couch. Would we mind coming over to get her? Our other neighbor is both neighbor and friend, and besides always keeping her side door open in case I need a cup of coffee, she makes sure to provide us with leftovers from any parties we weren’t invited to. Our next door neighbor, like us, is a dog lover. And then we have our neighbors who are moving. They’ve only been in the house for four years, and we are really just ‘chat and wave’ neighbors. Our driveways are adjacent, and our windows look into each other’s kitchen. I suspect we know more than we let on, which is just the way I like it.

So, now I worry. I’ve heard horror stories: neighbors who don’t speak to each other, or who fight over water run-off, barking dogs and kids playing in the driveways.

What if I end up with one of those? I really wish I would be allowed, as part of the sales process, to interview potential home buyers. After all, these people are going to see me in my pajamas eating ice cream out of the refrigerator on a regular basis.

True, I’m gutsy, but even I am hesitant about asking to help choose a buyer. I wonder if their real estate agent would be open to the idea? contact Patty at phannum@townandstyle.com.

students and staff said to OASIS tutor E. Laine, who was feted in a surprise ceremony honoring her 20 years of volunteer service to Parkway schools. The retired Montessori school administrator volunteered at Ross Elementary prior to her time at Mason Ridge.

Congratulations to the worthy Women of Achievement 2016. They are Dr. Maimuna Baig, Carol Beeman, Ronnie Brockman, Etta Daniels, Lynn Friedman Hamilton, Carol Swartout Klein, Dr. Marlys Schuh, Annie Guyton Seal, Kathryn Winter and Dr. Patricia Wolff.

by alexa beattie It isn’t just for now, it’s for always. By providing a nurturing home, The Haven of

Grace helps place homeless, pregnant mothers and their children on a path to success. Not only does the shelter address the immediate needs of the women (ages 18 to 24) in terms of food and housing, involving them in a range of programs and comprehensive services, but it also offers transitional housing for an additional two years. Services address the whole person and include case management, parenting classes and other educational opportunities. A 10-year aftercare program provides the same kinds of community-based support for the long haul by keeping in touch with ‘graduates.’ “It isn’t just about coming in out of the cold,” says The Haven of Grace executive director Andrea Vent, “but about empowerment for a lifetime.”

The Haven of Grace was established as an outreach ministry of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church of Ladue in 1988. The North St. Louis City facility has space for 10 women, most of whom have lived their lives in generational poverty. As a result, many suffer from what Vent calls ‘toxic stress,’ which often shapes behavior in detrimental ways. “There are so many barriers, so few choices available to homeless people,” Vent explains, adding that many women may have spent years ‘couch surfing’ between the houses of friends and family. “Our women have done what they needed to survive and I give them credit for having got this far. But sometimes they may not have learned to manage certain aspects of day-to-day living. Our goal is to provide every woman and child with skills to be as successful as they want to be.” These skills may be as simple as organizing a personal space (each woman has her own room), preparing nutritious meals, or balancing a checkbook. The Haven connects each woman to a medical service, and partners with city agencies like Nurses for Newborns to ensure that new mothers know how to care for their infants. Other organizations provide educational classes and help the women prepare for the job market.

Vent says The Haven of Grace (with a staff of 12) relies on the generosity of corporations, foundations and individuals. On June 4, it hosts its Promises of Hope gala fundraiser at the Edward Jones Atrium. The event features live and silent auctions, cocktails and dinner. Oral auction items include six days and five nights in a five-star condominium and spa on Great Exuma, the Bahamas; a week-long trip for two to Tuscany with private cooking lesson; and dinner for six at Annie Gunn’s.

In so many ways, Vent says, The Haven is a family, nurturing the lives in its charge and paving the way to a brighter future. “Just like a family, we want to help the women get to the next place,” Vent says. “We want them to dream ... and then, to realize those dreams.”

People in need are referred to The Haven of Grace by other agencies and shelters, and sometimes by word of mouth. There are about 15 names on the waiting list every month.

SWT Design, Clayton Century Foundation and Bob Chapman: What do they have in common? An ambitious plan for the $4 million plaza that will grace the northeasternmost corner of Shaw Park in Clayton. SWT recently submitted fresh designs for the multifaceted project, which will do the county seat proud … a fountain, waterfall, areas to sit and stroll, and much more that you may have come to expect from a landscape design firm responsible for landmarks region-wide where relaxation and interaction are encouraged. Think the City/Arch/River project, various sites in Forest Park, and the SLUH campus. Not to mention that Chapman, whose company, Barry-Wehmiller (a global equipment and engineering solutions company), is headquartered in Clayton, and he is a benevolent force to be reckoned with. While many employees wish for better treatment, we imagine Chapman’s are relatively

Clayton

ecstatic. The CEO co-wrote a book on how to take care of them like your nearest and dearest. Everybody Matters, written last year with Raj Sisodia, was quoted thusly

by Inc. magazine: “… (the) CEO of the $1.7 billion manufacturing company is on a mission to change the way businesses treat their employees.” It’s been said of his approach that when a family hits tough times, none of the kids is laid off. Everyone weathers good times and bad times together; that includes economic downturns. Since 1987, Barry-Wehmiller has acquired 75-some companies, making skeptics into believers. Meanwhile, ground should be broken on the jaw-dropping park project by this fall, officials say, with an expected grand opening in 2017. In plain sight of B-W HQ, the sloping plaza site at Brentwood and Forsyth boulevards is informally called Chapman

Plaza by everyone, says Patty DeForrest, city parks topper, but folks who know him say Chapman might demur when it comes to making it official. He and his family, along with Clayton Century Foundation, have been the prime movers behind a plan that will leave this legacy and make Shaw Park even more of a draw for generations to come. (Chapman’s book, and his TED talk, are very worthwhile.)

Most of us probably don’t think about what it’s like to be prevented from simply enjoying the features of a playground, but for a youngster in a wheelchair or facing myriad other challenges with mobility, it’s top of mind. The Jewish Community Center is about to make it easier for those kids. An accessible playground is opening next week in Chesterfield at the J’s Marilyn Fox Building, 16501 Baxter Road. A large portion of the support for the earlychildhood facility comes from the Tilles Foundation, with additional funds donated by Marie and Stuart Block and Marilyn and Sam Fox and designed

by Spaces For Play.

The expanded design is a wonderland of surfaces and special features for pre-K kids, including a play area designed specifically for infants and toddlers.

And prepare to get out the ‘smart’ phone when the little ones encounter a water feature made just for them. As the project continues to unfold, nature, music, art, sensory and dramatic play components will be added. Got a budding Shakespeare on your hands? This will be a wet and sandy midsummer night’s dream for you after not too long. Ribbon-cutting is a week from Sunday (May 15) at 10:30 a.m. The playground, although mainly for kids in J youth programs and camps, will be made available for local families and for open play days for children with disabilities. Think small. The art easel is built so a child can approach it either on foot or in a wheelchair. And there’s another plus for kids of all ages and abilities: They can experience empathy by interacting with others who are different from themselves.

Ever try to talk sense into your car’s GPS, which always insists on saying ‘recalculating’ whenever you decide to take what you know is a shortcut … or you need to take a detour? Well, you just can’t reason with technology. The device just keeps on chirping in that annoying, otherworldly voice. So mute it. Now, listen up: Those of us who already learned of route changes at Skinker and Delmar due to Loop Trolley construction now know to get where we’re trying to go using a different way.

But for those who haven’t yet, here’s a belated traffic report for you: Right now, you can’t get there through here. If all goes according to plan, however, you’ll be able to get back to the Delmar Loop in U. City again any way you wish as early as this Friday night. Meanwhile, consider an eastwest alternative in Forest Park Parkway, and north-south routes on Big Bend Boulevard, to the west of the Loop, or DeBaliviere to the east. (Remember, fair citizens: That’s pronounced ‘DeBolliver’ in these parts.) The intersection was expected to be impassable for about 12 days in the last part of April and first part of May. But all this stop and go is all about streetcars coursing their way through the streets, from the Loop to the History Museum in Forest Park— and soon. When the work at this key intersection wraps up, officials say work on the tracks will be 85 percent complete. Amen to that!

Some young people sing whenever they can, but those in ‘under-resourced’ schools don’t have the opportunity to do so except maybe in a church environment. But a $5,000 grant from the Monsanto Fund aims to make it easier for the St. Louis Children’s Choirs to offer exceptional choral music experiences and skills through in-school collaborations, individual classroom observations, and hands-on learning. With help from the Des Lee Fine Arts Collaborative, the choirs will continue to work with St. Louis and Normandy schools … as well as begin working with two new districts: Jennings and U. City. ‘Music Made Together’ is the effort through which music educators hope to reach those who may not have had a chance to join voices quite like this before. The choirs will work directly with about 1,400

Healthy Living Speaker Series kirkwood There’s a young female entrepreneur in our midst, and she may be known better at this point for her initials: NMB. That stands for Nora M. Brooks, which in a monogram is NBM, with the ‘B’ larger than the initials on either side, for anyone confused when trying to figure out how to correctly arrange letters on the towels from a bridal registry. Nora knows. A senior at Ursuline Academy in Kirkwood, she is one of 100 young people who received $2,000 with a Young Entrepreneur Award scholarship from the National Federation of Independent Business. The YEA program also includes a year’s membership in the NFIB. Nora’s monogrammed creations range from planters and small blackboards to jewelry and decals … some to adorn the back window of a vehicle, others tiny enough to personalize a pedicure.

Check out NB3 Personalized Gifts on Facebook for the array of possibilities she can create, all at ridiculously reasonable prices. Looks like she has enough Mother’s Day orders to keep her busy through next May! Nora is one of four Missouri winners; two others hail from our immediate vicinity.

The word ‘pickle’ comes from the Dutch ‘pekel,’ which means either the preserved cucumber itself, or the vinegary pickling brine in which it bathes. The phrase ‘in de pekel zitten,’ then, refers to the disagreeable experience of sitting in such a solution.

It dates to the 1500s and can be found, most notably, in Shakespeare’s The Tempest and other early literary works.

close the gender gap by karyn meyer

omen entrepreneurs everywhere have proven you don’t have to wear a suit and tie to be a successful business leader. We spoke with two women who have made their marks here in St. Louis at the helm of their own companies. They leaned in and are justifiably proud of their achievements, but they also admit that finding balance between the professional and the personal is an ongoing process.

Jennifer Ehlen didn’t become a business owner by chance; she says she was born with an entrepreneurial spirit. The founder and CEO of Prosper Institute, an organization with a mission to advance women-led companies, says because her parents had limited resources, if she wanted extra things as a child, she had to find the money herself. “I made elaborate lemonade stands and employed kids from the neighborhood,” she says. “I always knew I wanted to continue my grandiose ideas.” As a wife and mom, she accepted only positions earlier in her career that fit into her lifestyle without imposing inconveniences. “I kept choosing jobs that

brought me closer to entrepreneurship without actually taking the leap myself,” she admits.

Her path provided quite the learning experience, however. After finishing undergraduate degrees at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, she earned an MBA in marketing from Saint Louis University. Her impressive director roles at Boeing, KETC/Channel 9 and Saint Louis University all provided useful insight into how companies operate. She ultimately landed at Thompson Street Capital Partners, where Ehlen says she learned how to grow companies at an accelerated rate.

It was in this industry that gender inequality became very noticeable. “Roughly 95 percent of venture capital partners are men,” Ehlen states. The push she needed to finally step out on her own came in 2011 when the Kauffman Foundation and American Express published separate reports showing an enormous gender gap in

entrepreneurship. American Express produced a ranking of every state and the top 25 metro regions based on how well each did to support women entrepreneurs. St. Louis came in dead last, tied with San Francisco (Silicon Valley). Missouri was ranked 41st.

The dean of the business school at SLU at the time, a former boss who also is passionate about women in business, called Ehlen to discuss the unfortunate results.

“She suggested I start an initiative, so, along with a group of female entrepreneurs, I dove in head first and in January of 2014, we launched Prosper Women Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit that focuses on mentoring, training and educating women,” Ehlen explains. Six months later, they founded the for-profit PWE Startup Accelerator. “For the accelerator company, we raised a $3 million fund to invest in 10 to 12 women-led businesses from all over the world each year,” she says, adding that they have an equity stake in each company. “We seek companies out or they apply, and we bring these women to St. Louis to connect them with mentors, customers, experts and thought leaders in the hope they will grow.”

And they have. “We’ve invested in 16 companies so far, and many are growing tremendously. Several outside the St. Louis area even are looking to relocate here because of our resources.”

Ehlen notes the biggest struggle has been encouraging women to apply for Prosper’s programs and other grants; first they have to overcome their selfdoubt and gain confidence. “I tell women to flex their fear muscle,” she says. “I read a quote that says when you feel fear, it means you’re doing something really cool—and that’s so true. As women, we’re rule followers, but that’s sometimes a detriment. We shouldn’t fear jennifer ehlen failure.” Ehlen hopes more women come to Prosper for its office support groups (Ehlen calls them “entrepreneurial tribes”), seminars and more. The company plans to launch in other cities early next year, including two more in Missouri, and will host a symposium in April 2017 with internationally known speakers. “We want women from all over the world to come here to learn how to accelerate their companies. It’s all about growth.”

M

ayda Barsumyan understands growth. As president and CEO of Business Escalation, she has done what her company’s name implies: grown her business, and those of numerous clients, to success. Her company helps small to large corporations with system implementation, also helping them grow organically through expansion and acquisition.

Barsumyan says she has the mentality needed to compete in this male-dominated industry. “There

mayda barsumyan

is a perception that women have to be like men,” she says. “But I’ve learned that as long as you’re honest and straightforward with men, they will appreciate and respect you, and doors will open.” She immigrated from Bulgaria to the United States on her own in the ‘90s to pursue a college education, eventually receiving an accounting degree from Montclair State University in New Jersey while working at Prudential. “To support myself, I worked and went to school at night,” she says. “I started as an intern, and after a year, they hired me on as manager, the first one in the company’s history without a completed accounting degree.”

Her tenacity and intelligence got her recruited by Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the oldest and most respected management consulting firms in the world, where she was in charge of such massive special projects as the Y2K bug and creating a systematic approach for converting European and U.S. currencies into each other. “My goal there was to work through the channels and become partner, but I started my own business by mistake,” she laughs. When she became a mom of twins, she says her whole perspective changed. “I didn’t want to travel all the time, and my job was a 24/7, high-pressure gig,” Barsumyan says. Like so many working moms, she wanted a balance between work and family. With a new position at Covanta Energy, she says she was fortunate to work with people who supported and appreciated her talent, but she ended up with the same demanding schedule.

She took a break to do contract work, but after a five-year project brought on even more business, she had to get help. “I had so much demand that I couldn’t do it all by myself,” she recalls. “So I started hiring here and there and all of a sudden, I said, I think I’m running my own company!”

What started by happenstance now is an influential financial management solutions company. “I can’t think of one company I’ve helped with implementation that hasn’t grown from my assistance,” she says proudly. And that balance she tried so desperately to achieve? She’s still trying. “You can’t find complete balance,” she says. “You have to go where you’re needed, which constantly changes.”

She is obviously doing something right. Business Escalations is opening a second office in Washington, D.C., soon to work on a large government project, and in the near future, she plans to expand to Los Angeles. “My success is based on listening, a trait that works with both my kids and my clients.”

[tech t lk by sheila burkett

The Perfect Tech Gift With Mother’s Day approaching, I decided to compile a list of things I would want to receive, but might not buy for myself. First, I Googled around looking for the latest releases of my favorite gadgets. Then, I researched the highest-rated technology products on Amazon. Finally, I read several Top 10 gift lists.

The result? The items below, which would make the perfect tech gift for Mom, Dad or your favorite graduate!

➧ Pebble Smartwatch: I am in love with the Pebble Time Round Silver Mesh Smartwatch. It is stylish and sleek but offers smartwatch functionality. The Pebble has both iPhone and Android (Google Play) apps that give you control over your watch.

If you get a Pebble, be sure to get one of the newer ones, as the technology keeps improving. If you decide to buy a different brand of smartwatch, make sure you know what kind of phone it uses. Some watches are Android or Apple only. ➧ Bluesmart Carry-on Bag: This carry-on bag has a built-in charger and Global Positioning System (GPS). If you travel these days, you can only hope to be the lucky soul who finds an outlet available while sitting in the airport. No matter how many power packs you carry, they never seem to last long enough. This suitcase can charge your phone up to six times. It also has a GPS tracker that alerts you if you walk away and forget to take it with you. Some other cool features include easy access to your laptop and a digital lock.

➧ Amazon Echo: If you watched the Super Bowl 2016 commercials, you know all about Amazon Echo. The slim, cylinder device is not only a speaker, but it also takes voice commands just like your phone to play music, maintain times and alarms, access news and weather, and more. All you need is Wi-Fi access and a computer, tablet or smartphone to set up the initial features. It can also integrate with Philips Hue Lights and Belkin WeMo Switches to control your home settings and electronics.

love of music

DOESN’T END WITH MEMORY LOSS

➧ iPad Pro, 9.7 inches: Apple continues to take the computing power of the MAC desktop down to the thin, sleek design of the iPad Pro. The new 9.7-inch version is still small enough to curl up with and read your favorite novel, but also powerful enough to get your daily job done. This is sure to replace many laptops soon. Who needs a clunky laptop when you can carry around this light, powerful device instead?

There are many ways to spoil that special person in your life, but who doesn’t love having the latest tech gadget to show off? Let us know which great technology gadget you’ve found to be the perfect gift!

Reed Elementary School students celebrated the unveiling of their new ‘Buddy Bench’ with a furry friend: Marshall the Miracle Dog, the real life dog featured in Cyndi Willenbrock’s children’s book about animal rescue, inclusion and bullying. The Buddy Bench, installed on the school’s playground, offers students a place to invite classmates to play.

cover story

[allergy watch SLUcare physician group by alexa beattie

Spring looks good on paper, but for people with allergies, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. And neither is summer. A warm breeze means pollen, flowers mean bees. For the allergic, life outdoors can mean ‘miserable.’ Seasonal allergic rhinitis (or hay fever), affects millions of people worldwide and causes sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy eyes, mouth or ears, and general stuffiness. These allergic reactions, says SLUCare allergist and immunologist Dr. Mark Dykewicz, are most commonly caused by pollen and mold spores in the air and occur at different times depending on geographic location. In the Midwest, for example, tree pollen is most prolific in early to late spring, grasses in late spring, ragweed in late summer and mold throughout the growing season. Year-round allergic problems can be caused by things like dust, dust mite droppings and pet dander.

However, according to Dykewicz, rhinitis isn’t always caused by an allergic response. “Sometimes, it’s simply a cold, sometimes it’s a reaction to other environmental irritants like perfumes, cleaning products and sudden temperature changes. And sometimes, it has no relation to environmental exposures at all,” he says. Testing of the skin or blood can help determine whether an allergy is present, in which case antihistamines and nasal steroids (both prescription and over-the-counter) are effective treatments. He notes that the FDA recently approved a sublingual (under-the-tongue) tablet for grass and ragweed allergies, but the course must be started three months in advance of the pollens’ appearance. Dykewicz adds that no amount of antihistamine will help with nonallergic symptoms. “You’ll be wasting your money!” he says.

Like rhinitis, asthma either may be allergic or non-allergic. Both forms involve an inflammation of the airways, which become swollen and constricted, making it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs. While both allergic and non-allergic asthma can be triggered by exercise, allergic asthma (the most common form) is caused by inhaling allergens like pollen, mold and dust.

According to Dykewicz, asthma caused by a cockroach allergy is the cause of many emergency room visits. He says people who suffer from exercise-induced asthma should not cut back on physical activity, but rather work with a physician to develop a safe management plan. Inhalers containing anti-inflammatory medication are helpful, he notes.

In terms of food, Dykewicz says the line between allergy and intolerance becomes blurred, but the differences between the two are very important. “If you are allergic to a food, this allergen triggers a response in the immune system,” he explains. “Food allergy reactions can be life-threatening, so people must be very careful to avoid their food triggers and carry auto-injectable epinephrine.”

Although many food allergies are diagnosed in young children, sometimes a reaction “comes out of nowhere” in adulthood. “If you don’t even know you have an allergy, you can’t take precautions,” Dykewicz says. An allergic reaction can occur within minutes and might involve cramping and vomiting, throat constriction, difficulty breathing, body swelling and hives.

Dykewicz says the prevalence of peanut allergy has increased significantly over the past several decades in many countries, but a new theory may offer hope. “We used to say allergic children should avoid the allergen, but recent evidence might show that a little bit of early exposure to peanuts may prevent the development of a peanut allergy. It’s a sea-change in thinking,” Dykewicz says.

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, eight foods are responsible for the majority of allergic reactions: cow’s milk, eggs, fish, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat.

Insect stings also can cause severe allergic responses, and Dykewicz says there needs to be more awareness of the importance of venom desensitization shots. “If you’ve have had a reaction in the past, it might be wise to be evaluated by an allergist because auto-injectable epinephrine might not be enough to prevent fatality,” he stresses.

[ tip of the day ]

Q| can we tell the best time to execute a cross-ruff?

A| Yes. As always, give the hand some thought. A good checklist for cross-ruff is the following: 1.) How many

tricks can we make conventionally? Is it possible to make more on a cross-ruff? 2.) Can we make more tricks by trumping in both hands? 3.) If a cross-ruff is a possibility, do we have enough high spots in the trump suit ?

(We don’t want to be over-ruffed). 4.) Can we safely cash our side suit winners before starting our cross-ruff?

The Favorites

Toast, Sea Scallops, Charred Broccolini, Meyer Lemon Cheesecake, Pork Shank

The Restaurant at the Chase has gone more casual in both decor and menu in a recent makeover. When The Cheshire property was renovated and reopened a few years back by Lodging Hospitality Management, the company retained the hotel’s Old English charm, which leans toward the formal—including the dining room, which they must have decided was a bit stuffy for today’s more carefree lifestyle. So a few months back, they tweaked the interior with some communal tables, some banquettes and fewer freestanding tables than before—and down-priced the menu with generoussized sharing appetizers and entrees hovering at the $20 range.

Executive chef Rex Hale oversees all the LHM kitchens, and his menu here displays his range, with plenty of variety and delicious, interesting dishes.

Based on our visits, his menu is well-executed, starting with Toast ($8), a long piece of soft french bread topped with deliciously roasted Brussels sprouts, honey and creamy stracciatella cheese.

Toasted walnuts add the finishing touch to an outstanding dish. Also very good was Mussels Frites ($13), a bowlful of well-flavored mussels soaking in vermouth and Pernod, and dotted with bacon and slivered fennel. It comes topped with fries, which of course go with everything. (However, I would have liked some bread to sop up that delicious broth.)

A Butter Lettuce Salad ($9) was well-conceived with creamy green goddess dressing and fresh tarragon. The delicate greens were topped with crunchy bacon and Maytag blue cheese. One thing to note is that on several visits, the servers, while friendly, could not answer many of our questions—a sign that more training is needed.

The entree menu is short but covers the bases.

Some plates are not huge, helping to keep costs down, however they’re big enough, especially if you get one of the a la carte sides for sharing. You won’t go wrong with the Sea Scallops ($22), which are impeccably seared.

You get only two of them, but they’re huge and come with a nice plateful of butternut risotto, a tasty rice with

leeks and balsamic flavors.

Another standout is the Pork Shank ($20), slowcooked and delicious with brown gravy, sauteed Swiss chard, roasted shallots and cheesy fontina polenta. The meat was soft and well-complemented by the greens. As for size, this was a large plateful of food for the money.

Also good was the Rainbow Trout entree ($18), served skin-side up with a nice char flavored by the irresistible taste of browned butter and herbs. It came with roasted cauliflower and leeks.

The Charred Broccolini side ($9) is stellar, made with gochujang sauce and a creamy puree of sesame and garlic. Sides here are big and meant for sharing.

Desserts are $8, inviting and house-made. I’m a sucker for the tart-sweet tang of Meyer Lemon, the creamy tart served here comes in a puree of the citrus so that every bite includes some. Also very good and a bit different is Warm Pear Polenta Cake, which has a slight grain to it from the cornmeal and slivers of pear. Vanilla ice cream tops it, adding some dairy richness.

Papa: Hemingway in Cuba 〉〉

It’s no easy feat convincingly playing alpha-male Ernest Hemingway, but Adrian Sparks pulls it off in Papa: Hemingway in Cuba. The first Hollywood film shot in Cuba since 1959, it takes place in the late ’50s, when Hemingway is a full-fledged celebrity but has lost his ability to write. The plot hangs on the relationship he develops with Miami Globe reporter Eddie Meyers (Giovanni Ribisi), who discovered in the author’s works both the father figure he was lacking and a calling to become a writer.

Cuba’s piercing blue waters and lush tropical landscape provide a beautiful backdrop to the drama that unfolds as Eddie discovers how bad Hemingway’s bad days can be.

Although the suffering artist trope is nothing new, it’s interesting to see it play out here, as Hemingway alternates between wise joviality and hopelessly drunk misogyny, lashing out at his fourth wife, Mary.

Subtlety is lacking in the film’s portrait of the author—multiple shots show him stroking a gun (as if we didn’t know what his ultimate fate would be), and although shot in Cuba, the action is mostly confined to Hemingway’s home, with the Cuban Revolution merely providing background noise. That said, if you’re a fan of Hemingway, you’ll still enjoy Papa. I walked away wanting to learn more about this period of his life.

Should You See It? Yes, if you’re interested in Hemingway. —s.z.

YOUR BODY YOUR HEALTH by rick stoff

It isn’t just the aesthetics of aging that make every decade a little more challenging; it’s the niggling aches and pains. When it comes to issues like heartburn, hair loss and arthritis, symptoms can start to rear their ugly head in midlife, making you wonder what awaits you on the other side of middle age! Fortunately there are some things we can do to mitigate the discomforts of middle age and beyond.

joint pain

If you’re somewhere in the 55-year-old range, this won’t come as a surprise: Arthritis is rampant.

Whether it’s from an injury earlier in life or from parents who you may recall complaining about joint pain in the knees, hips, hands or some other spot, most people will experience this symptom of age eventually.

IT’S EVERYWHERE Arthritis affects about 50 million adults and 300,000 children in the country, according to the Arthritis Foundation. “It’s very common but is not well understood,” the foundation notes. That could be because arthritis is not a single disease, but rather an umbrella term for joint pain and joint disease. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis and related conditions.

The most common is osteoarthritis, which occurs when the joint cartilage, which cushions bone ends, wears out. Bone rubs against bone, causing pain, swelling and stiffness. Inflammatory arthritis is another common form that occurs when the body’s inflammation process, meant to fight infection, goes overboard and injures joint tissue.

Research suggests that inflammation may play a larger role in arthritis than previously believed, says Dr. David Crane, a regenerative orthopedic specialist at Blue Tail Medical Group in Chesterfield. “Look at other inflammatory diseases—hypertension, diabetes, heart disease. They all seem to be increasing,” Crane says. “Highly glycemic foods, basically sugar and refined carbohydrates, can lead to excessive inflammation.”

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT “We used to talk about arthritis as just a loss of cartilage in the joints,” Crane says. “We know that is not necessarily the case anymore. We now know that the synovial fluid that provides lubrication and nutrition to the cartilage becomes injured or damaged probably five or 10 years before the cartilage wears out.”

RISKS & REWARDS “There seems to be a 20 percent familial risk for getting arthritis,” Crane says. “But something usually needs to activate the genes that create the condition. We certainly think about excessive wear and tear on the joints. Injuries in a joint will create arthritis.”

In a perverse twist of fate, joints that aren’t exercised enough also are prone to arthritis, he says. “There is a fine line between too much and too little use. In people who move too little, we know that will progress to joint inflammation, stiffness and arthritis. I tell patients that arthritis likes to move. The studies are pretty clear that you only need 22 minutes a day of moderate movement.”

Cartilage destruction is not inevitable. “Our joints are not necessarily supposed to wear out. Your joint turns over its cartilage every two years. If you’re not repairing it, you’re degenerating.” Environmental pollutants may be driving increases in many diseases, Crane says. “People talk about plastics and pesticides and chemicals—all of those can drive inflammation. Arthritis is a multifactorial and multivariate problem.”

Care Research has shown benefits in some nutritional supplements. “Some studies show promise with glucosamine chondroitin,” Crane says. About 60 percent of patients encounter relief from joint pain with it. “We tell patients they have to take it for three months and then stop to see if the pain escalates. Also, fish oil and vitamin D can be helpful in driving down inflammation of the joint fluid.”

The late comedian Rodney Dangerfield scoffed at fad diets and exercise regimens, quipping, If I take very good care of myself, someday I will get old and sick. Unfortunately, the same is true of heartburn: You can eat healthy foods and avoid behaviors that cause indigestion yet still be plagued by the annoyingly uncomfortable ailment.

APTLY NAMED Heartburn is one of those things that happen to the human body rather randomly. More than 60 million Americans experience it at least once a month, and more than 15 million suffer symptoms daily, according to the American College of Gastroenterology.

“Heartburn is that burning in the middle of the chest that usually is related to acid reflux,” says Dr. Christine Hachem, a SLUCare gastroenterologist at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. “It can happen to anybody at any age, and it can mimic the symptoms of a heart attack.”

For women, heartburn may appear for the first time during pregnancy, says Dr. Leonard Weinstock of Specialists in Gastroenterology in Chesterfield. “Any person from teens up can experience intermittent relaxation in the lower sphincter muscle of the esophagus, which is the major cause for acid reflux.” Another is hiatal hernia, in which part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphram muscle, he notes.

The esophagus, a muscular, 8-inch tube, controls the intersection of the throat, airway and stomach. It stretches from the base of the neck to the middle of the chest, where it passes behind the heart. Its upper sphincter (a ring of muscle) separates air for breathing and food for swallowing.

The lower sphincter meets the stomach, where it passes food and prevents acid and other stomach contents from traveling backward, or refluxing.

Our stomach acid, or gastric juice, is said to be as strong as automobile battery acid—good for digesting food in the stomach, but not good for the lining of the esophagus.

WHY ME? “Many women experience reflux during pregnancy because of hormonal changes that affect the lower sphincter muscle,” Weinstock says. “Anyone can have a nerve disorder that allows the sphincter to relax too often at unpredictable times.”

While men and women face similar risks for acid reflux, the odds may shift toward men in later years because they are more likely to suffer a hiatal hernia of the diaphragm—the muscle that separates the chest and abdominal cavities.

“The esophagus and stomach meet at the diaphragm.

Normally the ring of the diaphragm causes a cinching of the lower end of the esophagus. It helps to prevent stomach contents from coming up,” Weinstock says. “Possibly because men do more heavy lifting and pushing, they may have more hernias.”

Even without one of these propensities, anyone can be visited by heartburn. “There are many foods that relax the sphincter and worsen the situation,” Weinstock notes. “A normal sphincter muscle can be attacked by four foods in particular—caffeine, peppermint, onions and garlic.”

Additionally, having too much fat in a meal slows stomach activity so the stomach stays full—also not good. “If acid doesn’t move out of the stomach quickly enough, it just sits there and has a chance of coming back up,” Hachem says.

Now what?

“We always start with lifestyle changes, minimizing the rich, fatty foods and caffeine that can stimulate acid reflux,” Hachem says. “We counsel patients to lose weight, cut back on alcohol and stop smoking.” Standard acid reflux precautions also include not lying down within four hours of your last meal.

“If those steps are not successful, we talk about medications,” Hachem continues. “For mild heartburn, overthe-counter medications can work very well,” Weinstock adds. “If the condition is more regular but still mild, we recommend H2 blockers like Pepcid and Zantac. For more severe cases, people will take proton pump inhibitors— Prilosec and Nexium.” Some patients may even need surgery to tighten the lower sphincter.

“Acid reflux can become quite serious,” Hachem says.

“Patients may have chest pains and trouble swallowing.

Chronic or long-standing acid reflux that is not wellcontrolled can progress to a precancerous condition called Barrett’s esophagus, which can lead to esophageal cancer.

Recognize the symptoms, then talk to a doctor to see if more testing needs to be done.”

It can happen to anybody at any age, and it can mimic the symptoms of a heart attack.”

We’re finding more and more that many health issues can be controlled through lifestyle changes: diet, exercise, relaxation, etc. But one common problem is set even before you know you’ve got it: androgenic alopecia, or hair loss. You have your ancestors to thank for that.

IT’S INEVITABLE “The vast majority of hair loss in men and women is inherited in a condition that causes hair follicles to be susceptible to the hormone dihydrotestosterone, or DHT,” says Dr. Richard Moore of The Lifestyle Center. “By age 40, approximately 40 percent of women and more than 50 percent of men are affected by significant hair loss.”

HAIR TODAY, HAIR TOMORROW “Low-level laser therapy has been shown to increase the growth of hair follicles and hair density when used on a consistent basis,” Moore says. Platelet-rich plasma, enriched blood plasma, also has been shown to increase hair density, he adds. “This involves injections into the scalp, and effects can last two years or more.”

SPLITTING HAIRS That feature makes hairs from the back and sides useful for transplants to the hairline and top of the head. “Once transplanted, these follicles are permanent—they are no longer susceptible to the effects of DHT,” Moore explains.

“The trend has been moving away from the surgical strip method, where a section of skin is excised from the

By age 40, approximately 40 percent of women and more than 50 percent of men are affected by significant hair loss.”

Dr. Gregory Chambon of Hair Dr. believes hair loss is occurring in ever-younger people. “I am baffled by how early it can occur,” he says. “We are averaging patients who are in their 20s and early 30s.” Some people have hair follicles that are simply more susceptible to DHT, says Moore, and “contrary to prior thinking, both Mom’s and Dad’s genetics contribute to this trait.”

Most male hair loss, and much in females, is male pattern baldness, the term for androgenic alopecia. The hairline marches backward from the forehead, and follicles gradually abandon the head’s crown. Women also may encounter alopecia areata, Chambon says. “This is more of an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss around the head.”

In terms of noninvasive therapies, “Biotin is a B vitamin that has been well studied and is good for the overall health of the hair, skin and nails,” Chambon says. And Rogaine (minoxidil) has been shown to slow hair loss and increase hair density, although Chambon says, “Its proven benefits have been restricted to the crown region.” Moore says these treatments have response rates of 80 to 90 percent, but it takes up to one year to see the full benefit, and they must be continued long-term.

Rogaine illustrates an important point: the head grows different types of hair. “Even if a guy goes totally bald, he still has hair on the back and sides of his head,” Chambon says.

“Those follicles, we have found, have different DNA, which makes them not susceptible to male-pattern baldness.”

scalp, and moving toward follicular unit extraction, where individual follicles are removed from the back of the scalp for implantation.”

That is good news for translplant patients, since the strip method left a linear scar, Chambon says. His office uses a NeoGraft machine for follicle transplantation. “It has a onemillimeter blade that lifts out a follicle, and we use a very small needle to make holes to place that follicle,” Chambon says. “With that needle, we can affect the angle of the hair to work with the existting hair or make the hairs work well together when they are grown out and combed.” Most men will need 1,500 to 2,500 follicles to be transplanted, Chambon says.

Hair There’s no way around it: You have to wear the cap for the duration of the ceremony, and you definitely are going to be photographed wearing it. Accept it, and instead of trying to draw attention away from the cap with complicated hairstyles, go with what you know. Keep your hair down and opt for a simple style you know works best with your face. If you normally rock straight hair, now is the time to flaunt it more than ever. The cap immediately draws attention to your hair and the last thing you want is hair that’s competing with a giant black square.

protecting the pancreas

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY researchers have found that a compound called an integrin inhibitor that reduces scarring in the lungs and liver also may show promise for fibrosis of the pancreas. Fibrosis, or the formation of scar tissue, is associated with chronic pancreatitis, which increases risk for conditions like diabetes, cancer and chronic pain.

“We have demonstrated that small molecular compounds developed by SLU’s CENTER FOR WORLD HEALTH AND MEDICINE can rapidly arrest the fibrosis process even after it is well underway,” says DAVID GRIGGS, Ph.D., director of biology at the center. The next steps, he says, are to see how the integrin inhibitor reacts with other cells in the pancreas and if the compound, which was given to mice as an infusion, can be turned into an oral drug. The findings recently were published online in Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

» glaucoma follow-up

Researchers at WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY School of Medicine have received nearly $12 million from the NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTES at NIH to establish the effectiveness of glaucoma treatments provided by the

same scientists in the 1990s. The research, the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study, followed 1,636 subjects ages 40 to 80 who now—20 years later—will be reassessed for glaucoma. “The goal of the follow-up,” explains DR. MICHAEL A. KASS, the study’s lead investigator, “is to create a model to allow clinicians to distinguish more clearly the patients at risk for rapidly progressing glaucoma.” The patients in the original study had elevated pressure in the eye, and half received pressure-lowering drops. According to W.U. researchers, glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in African-Americans, whose rate is four to six times higher than that of Caucasians.

Among other findings, the study will help determine whether the treatment has preserved at least some vision.

» antibiotic resistance

Because of the increased risk of infection, most premature babies in intensive care receive antibiotics in the first days of life. A new study of gut bacteria in preterm infants has revealed extensive resistance to the drugs.

“The conventional wisdom has been that antibiotics can’t hurt, but the study shows that wide-scale use in this population does not come without a cost,” says co-author DR. BARBARA B. WARNER, neonatologist at ST. LOUIS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL. Warner explains that it is generally

beneficial to have a high diversity of bacteria in the gut, but compared with full-term babies, those born prematurely and who received the drugs had many fewer species of bacteria. “While antibiotics can be lifesaving, we hope the study helps push toward shorter treatment and minimized use of broad-spectrum drugs.” The study is published online in Nature Microbiology.

» athletes with heart

New guidelines from the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology have loosened restrictions placed on competitive athletes with certain heart conditions. Cardiologists at WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY School of Medicine led two of the task forces responsible for updating the guidelines, which help doctors decide when it’s safe for a heart patient to play. “We want people to be active,” says DR. ALAN BRAVERMAN, alumni endowed professor in cardiovascular diseases in the department of medicine. “But we also want them to be safe.”

The recommendations, published recently in Circulation and the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, were written to acknowledge that physical activity is vital to overall health, says DR. GEORGE VAN HARE, W.U. pediatric cardiologist. The guidelines also classify sports according to the load they place on heart muscle.

CONDO LI V ING

by stephanie zeilenga | photos by suzy gorman

When Deborah Challoner moved from her home in Ladue to a swanky condo in the Central West End with boyfriend Patrick Quinn, it represented an opportunity to reinvent her personal style. For a year now the couple has called the space home, and they have transformed it into a stunning, sleek and inviting abode.

The terrace

T&S | How did you end up choosing the Central West End? Deborah Challoner: Location-wise, Patrick and I compromised on the Central West End. He had a beautiful loft downtown, and I lived in a traditional Ladue 1930s farmhouse. When we combined our households, it was fun because we had two different styles.

T&S | What attracted you to the property?

DC: I used to have 1.5 acres, so the condo’s outdoor terrace was a big deciding factor. We use the space for cooking and entertaining, and we even have pots for herbs. The property also has a casita or guest house separate from the main living space, which is great for our kids when they stay with us. We also love the building’s security and doorman—we travel a lot for both business and pleasure, and it’s nice to be able to walk out the door without worrying. We had big, complicated pieces of real estate before, and this is so easy. On the weekends, instead of weeding or working on the garden, I’m on my bike or doing something else fun. It allows for a lifestyle we’ve never been able to have before.

Owners Patrick Quinn and Deborah Challoner

T&S | What was your approach in decorating the space?

DC: The building itself is so contemporary, and our condo has exposed concrete ceilings and a concrete pillar in the living room. We wanted the space to match the architecture, but we also wanted it to be warm and inviting, which can be challenging with a contemporary look. So we meshed Patrick’s loft style with my more traditional style, but kept it inviting by throwing in organic accents and fun art.

T&S | Where do you go to purchase art and decor?

DC: We’ve purchased paintings from Houska Gallery in the Central West End. Furnishings came from a variety of places, including Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, Restoration Hardware, West Elm and I.O. Metro. I love Twigs & Moss for organic pieces and Vie for unique decorative pieces.

T&S | What was it like reinventing your home style?

DC: When I sold my house in Ladue, I took only a few things I loved. It’s been fun to throw a little bit of the past into this modern setting, and I think it creates an eclectic spin on the contemporary look. When my friends walk into this space, it’s hilarious because they’re all shocked. They say, “This is so different from what you had before!” The whole process was so rewarding for me—it was a chance to break out and do something different.

Patrick and I decorated the space together as a team, but he let me drive a lot of it.

Sometimes if you redo everything immediately, you end up looking back and wishing you’d done some things differently.”

The fireplace and kitchen

Framed geodes from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams

T&S | What’s your favorite room or feature?

DC: When you sit in the family room or at the bar in the kitchen at night and the fireplace is on in both the family room and the terrace, the whole length of the space is so inviting. Another major perk of the condo is the elevator: it comes up directly into your property, which is especially nice when you’re carrying a lot of things!

T&S | Tell me more about your fireplace—it’s so unique!

DC: It’s a freestanding glass fireplace. You pour an alcohol fuel into it and light it. It’s no muss, no fuss and adds this great ambiance. You can even have it on during the summer, because it doesn’t put out heat.

T&S | Any tips for those wanting to recreate a similar look?

DC: It’s important to take your time, especially when moving into a new place. We lived with our condo almost empty for awhile, which gave me time to think about how I wanted to use the space and what we wanted it to look like. Taking your time to find things that are meaningful also helps you avoid looking like you went to a store, bought it all, and plopped it down. Even though it’s hard to be patient, I think it’s important to dig down and figure out what you really like.

homework] Dear Homework,

We recently purchased this Southside charmer and completed several projects on the interior. What would you suggest as some landscaping upgrades that would be fairly easy to implement and maintain?

Sincerely, —Seeking Southside Solutions

Dear Seeking Southside Solutions,

Your home starts out with some definite positives, such as a charming architectural composition and unique details. More problematic issues are the close proximity of the neighboring houses and the limited amount of existing yard space to make any impact.

I would start by adding a columnar evergreen at each corner of the house to frame it and psychologically separate it from its neighbors. Next, I would remove the basically useless block wall at the front stoop, and replace it with a clipped hedge (perhaps yew or boxwood), to act as a base to set off, but not block, the front door.

I would then add a row of impatiens in front of the yew bushes at the living room window. These offer a welcoming jolt of color and a sense of manicured completeness to the scene. Taller ornamental grasses fill in the planting beds.

In the end, the property feels much more pulled together, without overdoing things … and it shouldn’t be too hard to maintain.

Thanks for asking, —Homework
