[ letter from the editor ]

There is a story in today’s issue you should not miss. It’s our Daymakers column, where we feature someone in the community who makes your day when they wait on you in a store, office or restaurant. In this person’s case—her name is Shirley Barken—I believe just reading about her will make your day better. We chose her because the issue contains our Senior Living special section, and we wanted someone remarkable in that age group.

Now that I know about her, I wish we all could age this way. Miss Shirley, who is 87, goes in to work five days a week at the Macy’s cosmetics department—just like she’s been doing for the past 58 years. She has regular customers who ask specifically for her. She doesn’t hard-sell anyone (Don’t buy a ton of expensive products you don’t need), and she is quick to share her makeup advice, tidbits like, If you don’t want people to notice your wrinkles, wear bright lipstick. And, get this, she is driven to work every day by her husband, to whom she has been married for 63 years.

So why is all this remarkable? It’s a breath of fresh air. In this youth-obsessed culture, the only times I seem to hear anything about people this elderly it’s from complaining ‘children’ sick of shuttling their parents back and forth from doctors appointments. So when I see near-nonagenarians out there in a public forum, working with and appreciated by others, it’s pretty noteworthy. Good for you, Shirley Barken. You go, girl.

in kids [Invest DE LA SALLE MIDDLE SCHOOL by tony di martino The historic Ville neighborhood in North City is as far from an insulated suburb as you can possibly get. Unemployment, crime, teen pregnancy and infant mortality rates are high. More than 90 percent of the adults don’t have college degrees, and 36 percent didn’t graduate from high school. Most families live at or below the poverty level in single-parent households. But De La Salle Middle School is giving neighborhood kids a chance at a better future.

Established in 2001 by Christian Brothers of the Midwest, De La Salle provides innovative, high-quality, financially accessible education. “We nurture students academically, physically, morally and spiritually, transforming them and our community,” explains school president Melissa Brickey. Class sizes are small, about nine to 13 students, and individualized instruction addresses each student’s needs.

Learning is extended beyond the bell with life-skills instruction, service learning programs and class trips, and all students receive financial, academic and emotional support through high school.

Most students come to De La Salle performing below grade level. “Not only do we get them up to speed, but more than 98 percent of them graduate from high school,” Brickey notes. “Of those, 80 percent are accepted in college or other post-secondary programs, and 64 percent of those who go to college stay there.” She credits this outstanding track record to motivated students, devoted teachers and parents, and adherence to the school’s core values of care, inclusivity, community, service, justice

Proud graduates of De La Salle Middle School

and zeal. “Every child deserves an excellent education,” she says. “It’s the most powerful, effective way to change communities for the better.”

Recently, De La Salle was granted charter school status, enabling it to receive public funding. “Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, charter status will allow us to have an even greater impact on the community,” Brickey says. “We’ll continue the academic rigor and support services our parents and students expect, and we’ll also be able to serve more students.” A separate entity, De La Salle Inc., will continue to provide ongoing graduate support and co-curricular programs, including after-school religious education, sports and arts classes.

“None of this would be possible without the combined efforts of our students, parents, faculty, staff, volunteers and donors, who share a strong commitment to our mission and vision,” Brickey says. Three longtime supporters were honored with Guiding Star awards at the school’s recent Catch a Rising Star event: board member and former tutor/mentor James Hill, a founding member of De La Salle’s charter school board; Christian Brothers College High School principal Brother David Poos, a member of De La Salle’s governance committee; and former cafeteria manager Barbara Williams, whose eldest grandson belonged to the first graduating class. “They represent the De La Salle culture of care and love,” Brickey says. “Miss Barbara, for example, provided cakes for every student’s birthday until she retired in 2012. That’s the kind of spirit, leadership and generosity that continues to keep us strong.”

[ talkof thetowns ] by bill beggs jr.

How do you spell co-champion? That’s nothing compared to what our hometown hero, Gokul Venkatachalam, had to spell. He’s been a very successful participant in the Scripps Spelling Bee the last several years, getting the consonants and vowels of ridiculously difficult words in just the right order and staying alive until nearly the very end of the Bee. Last year, he was beaten out by the two co-champs, taking third. (Or, wouldn’t that really be like, second?) This was his last year of

chesterfield

eligibility for the Bee, and the Parkway West Middle School eighth-grader finally made it at the ripe old age of 14, getting to share first-place honors with Vanya Shivashankar. Both families joined the winners on stage in Washington, D.C., as confetti fluttered down.

GQ pointed out Gokul’s kicks, a pair of Air Jordans. (He joked with the interviewer that he was looking for an endorsement deal. Nerdy, this kid is not). He had on a LeBron James jersey under his dress shirt to pump him up. Think he got to spell easy words for Bee vets, like ‘antidisestablishmentarianism’? Um, no. Some words these kids spelled were of German origin, but not run-of-the-mill, like ‘shadenfreude’ (try ‘sprachgefühl,’ although spellers didn’t have to note an umlaut or other accent marks in words of foreign origin). Or they sounded like a rare, horrid disease … but a ‘pyrrhuloxia’ is just a cardinal variety that lives in the Southwest, only with different plumage. Most words I’d never seen or heard before and were hard to pronounce, much less spell. Nobody made them up, though. (We checked.)

Fortunately, the pronouncer was a former Bee champ who’s now a university professor. Gokul’s final word was ‘nunatak.’ What the heck is that? Why, it’s our trivia question for this week.

Back in the day, many kids who were college bound were strongly encouraged by parents to apply to mom or dad’s alma mater. Or, to attend a state school. And that was that, regardless of whether the parents were footing the bill or the future grad had signed up for loans that it seemed would take until retirement to finally pay off. It’s

all the more complicated nowadays. But there’s plenty of help out there, and not all on the web, of course. And much of it is free … think of the savings! Recent grads, we know you’ve barely dusted off your mortarboards, but St. Louis Graduates’ High School to College Center opened for business June 1 and will be ready to help drop-ins until July 31. (Of course, college starts the next day, almost—earlier every year it seems.) A shout-out to H.S. sophomores and juniors—since most seniors going to college probably know by now where that will be: Did we mention that this opportunity is free? Reps from many of the region’s colleges and universities are on hand from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays to help kids learn about navigating the application and financial aid process. Are you all about Mizzou? University of Missouri personnel will be available on several dates throughout the summer, as will reps from M.I.T. (which stands for ‘Missouri in Town,’ or UMSL). St. Louis Community College is all over the calendar. The center can be found at 618 N. Skinker Blvd., for all you Googlers throughout the metro. (Yo … Google is free, too! How ’bout that?)

It’s just another day at the beach. In Kirkwood, at The Magic House. The megafun attraction, which has added on over the past decade to resemble two or three mansions cobbled together, has trucked in 10 loads

of sand. No, they didn’t dump it inside, although that probably would have been more fun for kids than the law allows. Once again, Sandcastle Beach has been created behind the museum. At this writing, and scheduled for completion June 7, a magnificent sandcastle was still under construction by Dan Belcher, renowned artist, landscape architect and sand sculptor since 1990. What arose from his shaping of 75 tons of wet(ish) sand was an Asian-themed construction topped by a pagoda.

Even the best competitors would admire something this beautiful … Belcher is a champ. It must take chutzpah to build something this spectacular that you know will be just a memory in no time, but Belcher and his ilk are used to it. The wind and tides ensure that the ones erected and shaped at the seashore don’t last nearly as long. But does that matter to the kids who flock to the beach armed with colorful plastic buckets and shovels?

Probably not. The attraction is free of charge with regular admission through June 28. So, go get sand in your shoes.

Laumeier Sculpture Park is quite the benefactor. Well, after a fashion. The constantly evolving museum in Sunset Hills has loaned a pair of works to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport for five years as part of the Lambert Art & Culture program.

Both cast bronze, Charles Arnoldi’s Eclipse, 1990, and

kirkwood

[ TT Trivia ] What on earth is a nunatak, the word Gokul Venkatachalam spelled correctly to share the first-place trophy in the Scripps National Spelling Bee? Extra credit: What word did he stumble on last year to take third place?

Last issue’s answer | An REC, a Renewable Energy Certificate or ‘green tag,’ is somewhat like the carbon credits businesses purchase to offset their carbon footprint.

Through an REC, regular energy consumers like you and me can support green energy generation at large … or, we can just spring for solar.

TOWN TALK Isaac Witkin’s Hawthorne Tree, 1987, have been moved to the ticketing lobby of Terminal 1 in new seating areas featuring wide-window views of the airfield.

The sculptures have been in their new locations since May 1. The works join Zhu Wei’s China China, 2003, on loan from the Gateway Foundation, in the same area.

So, stop to smell the roses, I mean next time you’re rushing through the airport, admire the art. There’s always a later flight. What? You have very important business?! Hey, this is art! Calls to mind the video of a world-class violinist performing a piece near the busy stairway inside a subway station. Most commuters passed him by like he was just another busker. A few stopped to throw some money into the violin case.

They had no idea what they were being treated to. They would have paid richly to hear him with the symphony.

Leo Drey of U. City was the original treehugger. The timber conservationist and philanthropist, who died May 26 at age 98, was not only a prominent name in philanthropy locally, but also nationally.

A decade ago, he was at No. 6 on Slate magazine’s list of the nation’s top 60 philanthropists. His most significant gift? Forests. Drey began acquiring Ozarks timberland in the 1950s, much of it bought for the former owners’ back taxes, but he was anything but a timber baron.

His holdings eventually grew to nearly 160,000 acres to become the largest private land area in Missouri— our entire state park system covers less land area. Drey (pronounced ‘Dry’), however, wasn’t interested in building resorts or even so much in lumber. He amassed the forest land for the public interest, leasing much of the acreage to the state for $1 a year. In the late 1960s,

u. city

Drey ‘gave’ 44 acres to Burroughs to found Drey Land, an Ozarks retreat used for orientation with new students— reportedly, the school was to pay $1 a year for its use. A 1934 grad of JBS, Drey was a forester at heart. In the 1950s, he invented the selective cutting process of individual trees at a time when the established industry practice was clear-cutting entire hillsides. Part of his legacy is 61,000 acres northwest of the Bootheel, the Roger Pryor Pioneer Backcountry, managed by the Missouri DNR. This vast area of timber is within the Pioneer Forest and owned by the L-A-D foundation, established by Drey

and using only his initials (Leo A. Drey). Wilderness areas include trees as old as 400 years, hardwoods and old-growth cedar. The Daily Beast referred to him as ‘The Lorax of the Ozarks,’ in honor of the legendary tree protector of Dr. Seuss fame. Indeed. Drey was founding president of Missouri Coalition for the Environment.

He married the former Kay Kranzberg in 1955. No shrinking violet herself when it comes to public service, she and her late husband were dubbed ‘Green Giants’ by St. Louis Magazine. She survives him, along with daughters Eleanor and Laura and son Leonard.

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

by karyn meyer

I’ve admitted to having resting bitch face (RBF): A medical condition (OK, I made that

up) that afflicts women of a certain age causing our frowns to stay upside down unless we seek medical intervention in the form of fillers. What you don’t know is I also have restless mind syndrome (RMS), more commonly known as monkey mind. RMS is a newly identified disease recently discovered by the practitioner Patricia F. Hannum.

If you suffer from RMS, your mind never stops.

The voices in your head (just to be clear, they’re your own voices) just keep talking. The more you try to quiet them, the louder they screech. When I try to take 10 deep breaths and think about ocean waves, my mind is sent into overdrive. Calm is not a feeling my brain has ever experienced. There is a variety of treatments for this condition, most of which I’ve tried. In case you also are a sufferer, let me save you some time.

Meditation often is suggested. So I signed up for a 30-day, online, guided course that would gently ease me into a state of peaceful bliss. I was excited to start, but I didn’t prepare. For the first day, I needed a quiet place to meditate. That could have been any number of places in my home, but I decided I needed to create a new meditation space. Which meant a trip to Arhaus to find the perfect meditation chair. I never found it, but I kept delaying the start of the course until I jumped in with both feet on day five.

By day eight, I realized meditation wasn’t working, since my mantra had become, “Hurry up, I got stuff to do.” I don’t blame the course, or myself. I blame not having a meditation chair.

Aromatherapy was next. The aromatherapist listened intently as I described my inability to turn my brain off, especially at night. She suggested using her creation, Quiet Mind, along with lavender for spritzing my pillow. I love Quiet Mind. I sniff it often, usually right before I sit down to write. But it has the opposite effect on me. And the lavender on my pillow smells nice, even if it has done nothing to quiet my mind.

Finally, I attended a self-help workshop to show me how to ‘live in the present,’ even though I loathe any kind of organized self- improvement. When I worked full time, I used every excuse, including having a child, to avoid personal improvement courses. I cannot be coached, cajoled or encouraged to share my deepest thoughts. (In this column I’m sharing my next-todeepest thoughts.) Yet I still did in this workshop! I guess I overshared, since I was told the kind of help my mind needed was not anything they offered. I failed self-help.

Last night as I laid in bed with another case of RMS/monkey mind—you can chose the term you prefer—I decided just to accept it. My condition has solved many problems, diagnosed (if not necessarily with accuracy) many medical conditions, and created lots of stories. And honestly, I am never lonely. I have far too many voices in my head talking to me, and sometimes they can be pretty entertaining.

After 43 years in the

Parkway School District,

West Middle art teacher Merlin Taylor is retiring. Taylor began his career at Northeast Middle School (known as East Jr. at the time), before teaching at Parkway West High School and most recently West Middle School.

He hopes to relax, complete his wife’s ‘honey-do’ list and continue studying the Japanese style of karate, Shotokan.

The Taylor family continues its remarkable local philanthropy with a $22 million donation to a variety of organizations that support underserved communities and youth in the St. Louis region.

In total, the family, along with the Crawford

Taylor Foundation and Enterprise Holdings Foundation, has donated more

than $58 million over the last 30 years. Patriarch Jack Taylor is the founder of Enterprise Holdings.

Rex and Dr. Jeanne Sinquefield’s collection of American Regionalists art will be highlighted at London’s

prestigious Olympia International Art & Antiques Fair June 18 through 28. The exhibit, titled ‘No Place Like Home: American Scene Painting (1850-1940),’ will focus on Midwestern artists who depicted the Dust Bowl era. This will be the first time the collection has been viewed outside the United States.

Linda Goldstein, who served as Clayton’s first female mayor, has been honored with the 2015

Trailblazer Award by St. Louis Forum

for her community and business leadership. In addition to her time as mayor, she was among few women in the commercial flooring industry when she started her career in 1989, eventually becoming vice president of DuPont Flooring Systems.

Goldstein now serves as president of Linda Goldstein Consulting, specializing in public affairs and strategic communication.

Martin Duggan, creator and provocateur of the KETC series Donnybrook, passed away at the age of 93 at his home on May 27. His Emmy Award-winning series debuted in 1987 and still airs weekly on the Nine Network as one of the most-watched local series on public television in the country. Duggan also was the former editorial page editor for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “Everyone here at Nine mourns the passing of Martin Duggan, who was truly an icon of television in St. Louis,” says Nine Network president and CEO Jack Galmiche. He is survived by his wife of 73 years, Mae Duggan, five children, 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Hammer ] by joan berkman One of my colleagues has this knack for getting the attention of our firm’s executives at morning staff meetings, following up with clever tweets in the afternoon, and then gliding effortlessly through client dinners, never at a loss for words and perfectly dressed for any occasion. Any idea what her secret is?

—Need Help Building My Personal and Online Presence

A: A first step in finding one’s personal presence requires an honest

self-assessment of strengths and weaknesses. Solicit input from your spouse, boss or co-workers—one of whom might be willing to help coach you. In the meantime: Practice using the lowest register of your speaking voice along with good eye contact to enhance your effectiveness when expressing yourself at meetings. Consider using bullet points instead of a script. Before a client dinner, think of some conversational topics for likely guests and prepare some disarming remarks for those annoying people you might run into during the evening. Most important, don’t try to be someone you aren’t. At the office, look polished and wear clothing that reflects appropriateness for your role and responsibilities. After hours, wear a signature style that is in keeping with the occasion. If need be, find a personal stylist at one of the department stores to help with your wardrobe.

Social media presence has its own set of issues and can provide a false sense of confidence; it requires good judgment and restraint. Keep in mind, your online audience/presence is much bigger than any real-life conversation. There are numerous social media courses available at area community colleges and universities to assist in developing an online presence and understanding its positive and negative sides. Do find a way to talk about yourself artfully and gracefully in real life and online. (Check out Brag! The Art of Tooting your Own Horn Without Blowing It by Peggy Klaus).

[parent trap Unleash Your Children

by dr. tim jordan I asked Ashlyn, 18, what her plans were after she graduates

high school next spring. At first, she looked at me as if I had two heads, and then responded, “Well, college, of course.”

When I asked her why she was so surprised by my question, she replied that she wanted to get a degree so that she could obtain a good job and make good money. But she said it with a touch of sadness in her voice, so I pushed further.

“That sounds a little like your parents talking. If you could put your parents and school’s wishes aside for a moment, what would you want to do?” Ashlyn described that what she really wanted to do is attend a beauty salon school because she loved the creative process of helping her friends do their hair and makeup. When she broached the possibility of this with her parents, they flipped out, lecturing her about how she couldn’t make a living doing hair, and she had to get a college degree.

Ashlyn also told me there was no way she could walk across the stage at graduation with those plans, because her high school wouldn’t recognize that any of its students might not want to go to college. The previous year, the principal had announced that another girl had “been accepted into several good colleges,” rather than state publicly that, acceptances aside, she was going to a trade school! Ashlyn was feeling a tremendous amount of pressure to conform.

When teenagers and young adults make decisions in order to please their parents or not disappoint them, they remain dependent and enclosed. The short-term good feeling of pleasing people can evolve into regrets and resentment.

Unfortunately, many people never grow beyond this state, and they never pursue their dreams and their heart’s desires. And that is so sad.

Letting go is a long-term process that begins as soon as a baby is born. Allowing babies to self-soothe, fuss themselves to sleep, feed themselves, and make simple choices should, by nature, turn into letting kids handle their own sibling and friendship conflicts, choose their outfits, and, gradually, to experience more independence, privileges and freedoms.

By the time they are seniors in high school, they are ready to make choices about the next steps in their life—like college, trade school or gap years.

It is more important than parents may realize at the time to allow kids to learn their own lessons and make their own mistakes. In their way and their own time. Every child has a destiny and path to live out. They should be encouraged to build their own story and future and to make their unique mark on the world—not to follow the path we have chosen for them.

Only then can they be happy and fulfilled. If you really want to show them you love them, unleash your children!

Sixty-seven students recently graduated from Lift for Life Academy, an independent charter school that serves students in grades six through 12, many of whom might not excel in the public school system. Nearly 90 percent are pursuing higher education. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the school, founded by executive director Marshall Cohen.

Westchester Elementary

During the past school year, students in kindergarten through fifth grade have transformed the campus into a green learning environment. With help from family and other community volunteers, they identified and cleared an invasive plant species on school grounds, replacing the space with a learning garden of native, self-sufficient plants.

[ diving in ] kat friese

Kat Friese wasn’t too thrilled when her mom signed her up for a diving league at a local country club when she was 10. “I didn’t really want to do it, but I had a really good season and my coach said I should try out for a club team,” she recalls.

Friese took the advice and used diving as a cross-training tool for gymnastics. But she became more interested in the sport the more she did it, and at age 12, she decided to focus solely on flips and twists into the water instead of on the ground.

Her decision paid off. Friese, who recently graduated from MICDS, was three-time State Champion, has made numerous trips to Nationals with the St. Louis Diving Club, and holds school records for most points scored at both six- and 11-dive meets. She also was named the 2014 All-Metro Diver of the Year by the Post-Dispatch. “All my seasons kind of blend together right now,” she admits. “It was hard balancing high school practice with club practice while also managing homework and other activities, but I had great high school coaches who supported me.” During the high school season, she practiced every day of the week, between both teams.

As the only diver for MICDS this year, she competed in about six different meets between November and February, including state and conference. “Club training is all year, but its main competition season is from March through early August,” Friese explains. “I got my primary training from the St. Louis Diving Club, so that was always important to me.” She competes in all three diving events: 1-meter, 3-meter and platform. “I have dives that I always compete with, but I’m also training new dives and working on new skills,” Friese says. “When I have a new dive, it’s a big decision to figure out when to start competing with it. What I’m doing now is definitely harder and more advanced than what I was doing a few years ago. The sport is always evolving.”

Her skills were noticed by her top college choice, UCLA, and she says signing with them was the easiest decision she’s ever made. “I already knew I wanted to go to school there, so to get a chance to dive with the team is the perfect opportunity,” Friese says. When asked what she envisions for her future with the sport, she’s leaving it undecided at the moment. “I just want to dive all four years of college, and then I’ll figure out my next step.”

talk to… [ joey williams ] Recent Kirkwood High School graduate Joey Williams was on the golf course as soon as he could walk, so it’s no surprise he took to the sport.

He will play for Maryville University this fall.

Q| How did you get started with golf?

A| Both my parents played, and my grandfather

was the head pro at Westwood Country Club, so he got me into it.

Q| When did you realize this was something you are really good at?

A| I’ve played in junior PGA tournaments since I was 7 or 8, but it wasn’t anything too serious until I qualified for State my sophomore year of high school.

Q| Any other big accomplishments?

A| I won our Sectional tournament this year and also qualified for State my junior

and senior years.

Q| How do you qualify for State?

A| The top five individuals on the team qualify for Districts, and after that, it’s

Sectionals and then State.

sports standouts] by karyn meyer

[ mat time ] buddy conley

Recent Chaminade graduate Buddy Conley decided long ago to turn his home wrestling antics with his brother into an actual activity. “I was looking for a sport to play in sixth grade and just thought I would try wrestling,” Conley says. “I love the simplicity of it. It’s ‘me versus you’ and solely based on physical domination. If you lose, it’s your fault, but if you win, it’s all because of you too.”

Conley says one of the hardest parts about wrestling is staying within a certain weight class. “I was trying to stay in the 152-pound class during the year to give me a strength and size advantage, but I realized I had just as much strength in a heavier class. So I’m staying away from weight cutting.” To remain in shape during the season, which runs from late November through February, he did his own workout before school each morning. Practices were every day to prepare for the almost weekly tournaments. “How you compete in the regular tournaments affects how you’re seeded in Districts,” he explains. “The top four at Districts earn a spot at the State tournament.”

This year, Conley placed second at Districts, losing to his opponent by only one point, and placed fourth at State.

In the off season, practices were five to six nights a week. “The past couple of years, I competed in national tournaments when I wasn’t wrestling with Chaminade. Anyone can sign up for those, and I placed at two of them. Last year, I placed at the Ohio Tournament of Champions, and I just recently placed at the more prestigious USAW FolkStyle Nationals.”

He trained with other local wrestlers after school ended to prepare for his college season at Indiana University, where he currently is training for the summer. “I was looking at smaller colleges when my coach, Lee Ferris, mentioned Indiana,” Conley says.

“They have a great program in the Big 10 and great coaches. They asked me to visit, and everyone seemed friendly.” Now, he just hopes to continue his physical domination.

Q| How often do you practice?

A| Probably about five times a week, which includes playing and going to the

driving range.

Q| What do you love most about the sport?

A| I like how it can be an individual sport or a team one. You have to focus on your

own game, and you can’t give up, because that would hurt your teammates.

Q| What’s your favorite course?

A| Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau, where we played the State tournament

last year.

TOWN TALK

bookshelf binders keepers by karyn meyer About the club The elaborate carved wood, stained glass and numerous fireplaces inside the Samuel Cupples House on the campus of Saint Louis University create an ideal meeting place for a book club. As docent and marketing coordinator of the gallery space (as well as the university’s Museum of Art), Mary Marshall has a certain fondness for the historic mansion. That, coupled with a love of reading, led her and SLU publications writer Elizabeth Holzer to form Binders Keepers in 2012.

“There wasn’t anything like this on campus yet,” Marshall says. “So we put together an initial list of reads, came up with a name, and sure enough, we had about 15 people at our first meeting.”

No SLU affiliation is necessary to join. “Many of the faculty and staff invite friends, and we always welcome more,” she says.

Members are encouraged to ‘bookmark’ the fourth Tuesday of every month. “The ambience is perfect,” Marshall says. “There’s room to put our chairs in a big circle, and we set out a table of wine, cheese and crackers.” Holzer is in charge of book selection and serves as moderator. “We always have lively and spirited discussions,” Marshall notes. “The club has really expanded my boundaries. I enjoy the wide range of authors, and it’s interesting to hear different interpretations of a novel.”

About the book In All the Light We Cannot See, highly acclaimed author Anthony Doerr tells the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl who lives with her father and often accompanies him to work at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, and Werner, a German boy who discovers a talent for fixing radios.

Their stories collide when they both flee to Saint-Malo, France, as they try to survive the Nazi occupation during World War II.

[ opinions ]

»

The reader comes away from possibly the most iconic siege in modern history with new perspective and the most profound sense of loss and hope that is the human condition.

— Elizabeth holzer

» With each chapter, Doerr expertly draws from a sensory survival kit, which he expertly employs to

take the reader, as well as the blind heroine, Marie Laure, through the Nazi occupation of Paris during World War II. Imagination, instinct and intuition become our guides, as the reader is brought in as a silent companion to both Marie Laure and Werner Pfennig, a German orphan. Excellent read!

PHOTO: Tim Parker Photography

cover story SOLUTIONS by tony di martino

Marvin Mitchell, president/CEO of Compass Retirement Solutions,

doesn’t quite trust the exuberant mood currently shared by many investors and advisers.

“True, the market is at an all-time high for the third time in 15 years,” he says. “But the last two times we were at a high, the market crashed by more than 40 percent. If you’re a recent retiree, or you’re hoping to retire in the next five years, you simply can’t afford that kind of hit. So we help you build an income that will last as long as you do.”

Mitchell discovered his passion for helping others obtain financial security early in life. “I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth,” he says. “When I was young, my family was homeless a couple of years.” When his beloved grandmother developed cancer, she didn’t have long-term care insurance. “Her savings were wiped out,” he recalls. He says part of the reason he became a financial adviser was to keep that from happening to others. That’s why his motto is ‘safety first.’ “We don’t believe in chasing returns at Compass,” he says. “Rather, we strive to help each client create, preserve and pass on as much income as possible, achieving a reasonable rate of return over time and keeping pace with inflation. We want to help you navigate the trail to a secure retirement.”

Mitchell’s firm seeks to answer all the big questions. In a constantly shifting economy, how can we invest our money so it continues to work for us? What type of insurance can protect our family if we become disabled or need long-term care? How can business owners reduce taxes, keep costs under control and develop a workable succession plan? And how can baby boomers keep their money safe for retirement in a still-volatile market? “We help our

Arlene Roberts Hudson, Erin Slay, Marvin Mitchell and Callie Wakefield of Compass Retirement Solutions

clients increase their assets, reduce risk and protect their hard-earned money, so they don’t outlive their income,” he says. “With our guidance, they can continue to enjoy the lifestyle they deserve and build a legacy for future generations.”

Mitchell and his team of experts deliver customized solutions for each client’s needs and goals. “If you’re on the verge of retirement, you want solid information and options you can understand, not complicated jargon and false promises,” he says. “We help you figure out what you want your money to do for you, and we help you get there.”

Too many people lose money unnecessarily and don’t know where to turn for advice, Mitchell says. “Our advisers help you make the most of your assets at every stage of life,” he notes. “Whether it’s income and investment planning, maximizing Social Security income, creating new avenues of tax-free income, passing on assets to beneficiaries with minimal tax impact, insurance options, or rolling over a pension plan, 401(k) or IRA transfer without tax consequences, we’re at your service.”

[ Kingside Diner ] 4651 maryland ave. | 314.454.3957

[ amuse bouche ] THE scene

CWE all-day diner

THE Chef/owner: Aaron Teitelbaum

THE PRICES

$6-$9 pancakes & omelets, $6-$9 sandwiches, $15 blue plate specials

THE FAVORITES

The Slinger, Pancakes

Diner lovers can rejoice: We recently got a

centrally located restaurant dedicated to slingers, sandwiches and blue plate specials. Kingside Diner, which opened in the CWE at 4651 Maryland Ave. across from the St. Louis Chess Club and Scholastic Center, offers all-day breakfast starting at 6 a.m. And the diner food comes with diner prices, so you’re looking at sizable portions in the $10 range.

Launched by Aaron Teitelbaum of Herbie’s and the former Monarch, Kingside has made some strong ‘moves’ (note the chess terminology; there is a very tight relationship between the two establishments). It’s serving the usual suspects: pancakes, biscuits, French toast, etc., some with the kind of gourmet twists you’d expect of Teitelbaum, who has worked with the likes of Bobby Flay and Daniel Boulud. For one thing, you don’t find quinoa pancakes at every diner. And the breakfast burritos here include things like arugula and chipotle aioli. The ‘slinger,’ a St. Louis concoction, has pulled pork instead of hamburger.

I highly recommend The Slinger ($10), a delicious layering of thick pieces of pulled pork, crispy oiled hash browns, chorizo chili made with black beans, and fried egg.

It comes as a smothered plateful of something you can’t quite make out, but you can tell it’s going to be good. The spicy sausage dominated the flavor, the uber-fine potatoes—more potato straws than hash browns—dominated the texture.

And the fried egg oozed golden yellow all over everything else once I dug into it. All around superb.

The flatbreads-omelets-burritos section has six different combinations—you choose which dish you want the ingredients put into. We had the No. 3 as a burrito: romesco sauce, goat cheese, spinach and red onion. The ingredients came stuffed into a soft flour wrap with scrambled eggs, and it was delish, but needed a little hot sauce to make it pop. The romesco contributed its pungent red pepper flavor, and the goat cheese provided the creaminess. Don’t miss the pancakes: You will be nothing short of amazed by their size: three plate-size cakes for $6, and they’re light and buttery.

June 10, 2015

Alas, our return visit wasn’t as satisfying. The service was spotty, and our blue plate special, Chicken & Dumplings, was missing the dumplings! We told both the waitress and a cook, to no avail. Additionally, the dish was merely shredded chicken in a soupy broth (rather than the usual roux-thickened gravy) served next to a mound of creamy mashed potatoes (good, but not dumplings) and fresh sauteed green beans. Made me wonder: Is someone minding the store?

An order of Grandma Rosie’s Rolled Cabbage ($10) was a nice touch. The classic Jewish dish had small ground beef-and-rice rolls encased in soft cabbage leaves with a tomato-based sauce, quite sweet and filled with golden raisins. It was served over those yummy mashed potatoes—buttery and tasting of cream. On the sandwich side, we sampled the Tuna Salad ($9), a nicely constructed, jumbo tower of food with lettuce, tomato and plenty of tuna. But its wheat bread should have been fresher. The accompanying fries were really good—covered in pepper and some other interesting spices/herbs.

» aaron teitelbaum What made you open a diner?

The lack of diners in the CWE for many years: We wanted to fill a void.

What is your goal here?

To create a gathering place serving good food and cocktails at a reasonable price

Favorite menu item?

Corned beef and hash

How does your diner partner with the Chess Club?

We do evening chess classes here several times a week, and we’re just part of the chess campus.

LEISURE by jorie taylor

happy [hour

We constantly are bombarded with conflicting information regarding the nutritional value of our food. From

superfoods to low-carb high-protein diets to glucose quantities, it’s hard to reach for a stick of gum without considering the potential health risks. So I started wondering: Where does alcohol fit into this health equation? Most of us have heard that a glass of red wine is good for us. Beer aficionados quickly will point out that beer actually has more antioxidant properties.

But what about cocktails? Well, the big factor here is that, unlike with wine and beer, we can control what goes into our cocktails. I admit it: I’ve infused brown butter and bacon into liquors. But what if we make some healthy cocktails? Purists may insist that liquor is best without adornments. Certainly, the liquor market is filled with examples of cucumber-flavored vodkas. But why not do it yourself? Grab summer by the horns and create some fantastic healthy cocktails! Take the nearest fruit, vegetable or herb and shake up a cocktail you will remember deep into the cold of winter. The most important factor here is balance: Acidity in the form of citrus juice is key to offsetting sweetness.

Below is one of my all-time faves, and you can use virtually any fruit or herb, like watermelon, carrot/ginger, strawberry or cantaloupe.

»

Muddle basil gently with agave syrup. Add juices and liquor.

Shake and strain over new ice in a rocks glass. Top with club soda, and garnish excessively!

JUICES: Juice your limes, and strain the pulp through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Puree two or three roughly chopped cucumbers with ½ c. of water in a blender or food processor. Strain the solids.

Refrigerated in a tightly sealed container, the blend will keep up to one week. Or freeze into ice cubes and use any time! (Great for poolside beverages.)

AGAVE SYRUP: Stir ½ c. agave nectar and ½ c. hot water in a medium container until fully dissolved. Agave will keep for months in the refrigerator.

[ try this with that ] As the dreaded heat spells of summer loom, I dream of this simple fruit salad with our refreshing cucumber cooler.

Cube at least 5 c. total of watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, mango, banana and orange supremes. Add 2 oz. fresh lemon juice, 1 t. Himalayan Pink salt (or kosher), 1 T. coconut sugar, and 10 fresh mint leaves, julienned. Toss to combine.

one of two things: either a movie that was worth the hype surrounding names like Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone, or a movie that was all flash and no substance. Unfortunately, Aloha is the latter. Since the film doesn’t give any context in the beginning for the characters or storyline, I’ll do it for you: The plot revolves around Cooper’s character, Brian Gilcrest, a military contractor who returns to a Hawaii military base to absolve himself from past mistakes. He reconnects with his ex-girlfriend (Rachel McAdams) and falls for his watchdog, Allison Ng (Stone), although their chemistry usually comes off as too scripted. McAdams gives the best performance of

the film since it involves some real emotion, while Stone crushed most of her character’s potential by playing a kitschy Air Force ‘tough’ girl. There are moments, though, where Allison’s good nature and sheer ‘cuteness’ elicit smiles. John Krasinski provides some good laughs without saying more than a few words; I wish his silent character had a bigger role! If you’re just looking for a summer flick, Aloha will provide some entertainment. And if nothing else, you get to look at Bradley Cooper on the big screen for a while.

intellectually and emotionally, around the age of 21. Older adults were expected to reminisce about the past and chat about their grandchildren. Retirement was considered a period of gradual disengagement from the world, a phase of diminished activity and expectations.

Now we know better. There is no expiration date on curiosity and intellectual growth. In fact, studies on adult development show that mental stimulation, community involvement, a caring environment and plenty of social support are crucial to healthy aging. The Gatesworth provides all these elements— and then some.

The senior living community offers a wide range of learning and enrichment opportunities for residents, many of whom take classes at the Lifelong Learning Institute at Washington University, Lifelong Learning @ UMSL and OASIS Institute. It encourages active aging with a full spectrum of on-site educational programs and activities, as well. On any given day, residents might attend a talk by a leading professor, symphony musician, or expert from the History Museum or Missouri Botanical Garden. Topics include current events, history, philosophy, the arts and culture, and science/technology.

Terry Jones, Ph.D., professor of political science and public policy administration at University of Missouri-St. Louis, has led monthly discussions for The Gatesworth’s Questers program for more than 10 years. “Each session focuses on topics of local or national significance, be it recent Supreme Court decisions, issues up for discussion by the Missouri General Assembly, redistricting, or the use of public subsidies for the proposed new football stadium,” Jones explains. “The Gatesworth participants are well-read, well-informed, insightful and curious, bringing a richness of life and career experience that often makes them more of an expert than the teacher.”

Once, during a discussion of local race relations, Jones learned one of the residents had been a member of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) during the civil rights movement in the 1960s. “Another time, during a lecture on the electoral system, I realized a guy sitting in the back of the classroom was a renowned specialist on electoral systems in Europe!” he recalls. “I recognized him and said, ‘John, is that you?’ I learn a great deal from these individuals who have had, and continue to have, a significant impact on our community.”

Residents benefit, too. “As a physician, I’ve always felt it’s important to exercise the mind as well as the body,” says Dr. Dolores Tucker, who moved to The Gatesworth with her husband, Thomas, last year.

She regularly attends weekly Quester discussions and takes advantage of the community’s “nonstop” array of classes on history, politics, literature and the arts. “My fellow residents are educated and fully aware of what’s going on in the world,” she says. “The love of learning never goes away. Life doesn’t end when your children are grown or you retire from your job.” There’s only one problem, she adds. “The classes are really popular. You better get there early, or you won’t get a good seat!”

The Gatesworth, located at One McKnight Place, offers a broad range of learning opportunities for residents.

DayMakers Shirley Barken by karyn meyer When Shirley Barken started selling cosmetics at Famous-Barr, Lancôme carried

only two products (lipstick and moisturizer), and mascara brushes were a new invention that sold for a dollar. That was nearly 60 years ago. Now 87 and still working in the fragrance department at Macy’s five days a week, she is famously referred to as Miss Shirley by her co-workers and dozens of regular customers who refuse to buy from anyone else.

Q | HOW DID YOU START selling cosmetics?

A | I’ve always been into makeup. I really

wanted to be a prima ballerina, but my doctor ruled that out after I broke both legs as a little girl. My husband Gene and I will be married 63 years this month. He’s a retired pharmacist, and we had a drugstore in University City called Barken’s Delmar Loop Pharmacy, where we sold cosmetics, too. Walgreens moved in across the street, which forced us to close, so I got a job at Famous-Barr.

I worked there for 50 years before it became Macy’s eight years ago.

Q | You were featured in a

recent book on Famous-Barr?

A | The author of Famous-Barr: St. Louis

Shopping at Its Finest was going through archives at the history museum and wanted to include me because I was written up more than any other employee! I couldn’t believe it. I signed copies at the museum, and people come into the store to have their picture taken with me and the book.

you started?

A | Prices! They are so much higher now;

photo: bill barrett

Q | What has changed since

you can’t get anything for under $50. And when I started, I would work for up to 20 different lines at once. The makeup and fragrance companies paid me a salary and commission, not the department store. They would approach me to sell for them, but that changed around 1980.

Q | Have you met celebrities who visited Famous-Barr?

A | The Gabor sisters came when they had a cosmetic line, and I met Oscar de la Renta. In 1992, Elizabeth

Taylor came for the launch of White Diamonds. I sold the most out of any other employee, so I sat next to her at the banquet dinner. She was the sweetest thing, and so gorgeous! She gave me a diamond necklace, which I still have. I never wore it because I didn’t want to lose it. And in the ‘70s, Coty Cosmetics sent me to Miami for the Miss Universe pageant, and I did the contestants’ makeup.

Q | Do you have a signature scent?

A | My favorite is Chanel No. 5, and I wear Juicy Couture’s original scent almost every day. I think every

woman should have a signature scent but also try something new once in a while. Some women buy for the name and not the scent, but just wear what you like!

Q | Any beauty tips?

A | I often get asked how I have no wrinkles at my age, and it’s because I didn’t sit in the sun growing up,

so protect yourself from the sun! Don’t buy a ton of expensive products you don’t need; I found a great moisturizer at Wal-Mart that works. Someone from Max Factor once told me to wear brighter lipstick as you age, because then your lips will be the first thing people notice and not your wrinkles!

Q | Why do you still work after all these years?

A | I love it. My friends think I’m nuts and don’t understand how I can stand on my feet all day, but my feet

don’t complain! Everyone at the store is so nice to me, and I love all the girls I work with.

Who makes your day?

Put Your Best Face by sara savat

The first impression you make on others is, of necessity, based on your face. And while beauty is only skin deep, if you are unhappy with a facial feature, it’s good to know that options abound for reshaping, redoing or reinvigorating that feature. The changes might be subtle, but their impact on your self-esteem can be great.

eyes

The eyes are the first features to show age through dark circles, corner wrinkles or puffy bags. The good news: They’re also the easiest to fix with minimally invasive solutions.

> Baby Steps Aging eyes not only can make you appear older than you are, but they also can suggest emotions or characteristics that are not really there, such as hostility, disinterest, fatigue and grouchiness, according to Dr. Joe Muccini of MidAmerica Skin, Health & Vitality Center.

Some of the main causes of tired-looking eyes are age, lack of sleep, allergies and genetics, according to Dr. Richard Moore, medical director for The Lifestyle Center. “As we age, the skin gets thinner and consequently the blood vessels and pigment underneath start to show through more,” Moore explains. “There’s also a loss of volume—so you can get a puffy look around the eye, a recessed volume below that, and then there’s the cheek. It’s that loss of volume between those two planes that makes eyes look older and tired.” Additionally, squinting, focusing and sleeping on your side can lead to wrinkles around the eyes.

Most people start noticing subtle changes in their 30s. But that doesn’t mean you should wait until then to fight the signs of aging. Prevention is always the best bet, Moore says.

“There are preventive things you can do at a young age: avoid significant sun exposure, use eye creams with an antioxidant, stay well hydrated and get regular rest at night. And maintain a healthy weight; fluctuation in weight has an effect on skin,” he says. > Past Prevention If you’re past the point of prevention, don’t panic. There are plenty of effective, nonsurgical options. “Skin tightening and smoothing treatments like radiofrequency (e.g. Pelleve) or microneedling (e.g. SkinPen) can help,” Muccini says. “Ultrasound treatments (like Ultherapy) also can benefit the eyes. Moore also recommends Botox to relax wrinkles, particularly crow’s feet, and the Venus Legacy, a nonsurgical skin tightening tool that uses magnetic energy, to also decrease dark circles. You may need multiple treatments to achieve your desired outcome because less aggressive treatment options tend to have less staying power than surgical options.

“We all continue to age,” notes Muccini. “Nothing stops the passage of time and human aging, but we can push back the overt signs of aging. But nothing lasts forever—not face-lifts, not surgery.” Most doctors offer free consultations for new clients to discuss what is bothering them and the treatment options available. Keep in mind that eyes need to be evaluated in the larger context of the face, as well as the overall skin condition and past history of treatments, Muccini says.

Hiding Behind Makeup Dark undereye circles can be challenging to disguise, but Betsy McMahon, a local freelance makeup artist, offers pro tips for covering up. w prime - with nourishing eye cream — let settle 3 - 4 min w neutralize use a corrector

Pink-toned = neutralizes blue/gray tones • Peach-toned = neutralizes brown-tones*

w conceal - yellow-based creamy concealer = one shade lighter—than your natural skin tone

« if you’re extremely fair, choose a porcelain shade

« use a synthetic brush w/ rounded point to target tear duct area

« feather the concealer into the inner corner of the top lid

« blend edges with fingertip w set the makeup - use a fine, loose powder; too much powder emphasizes wrinkles w HYDRATE - dab a tiny amount of eye gel over makeup for a fresher, dewier look throughout the day

*McMahon recommends La Mer Eye Balm Intense. A less expensive option is Bobbi Brown eye cream.

prominent ear correction

Yes, some ears stick out enough to actually require correction. If not exactly ‘required,’ correction might just be highly desirable—and that’s OK, if it’s going to make a child feel much better about himself. Experts say the relatively straightforward procedure is most commonly performed on children between 4 to 14 years of age. > What’s the Problem?

Otoplasty or ‘ear pinning’ is designed to reposition and reshape prominent ears. For those patients who are born with the problem, restoring the ear to a normal position can avoid teasing and the psychological trauma that goes with it, says Dr. Gregory Branham, a Washington University facial plastic surgeon.

According to Dr. Christina Plikaitis, a SLUCare plastic surgeon, ears may stick out because the shell part of the ear (conchal bowl) is abnormally deep, which pushes the ear out and/or the fold of the ear (antithetical fold) is underdeveloped and does not bend back enough. Most patients have a little bit of both going on, she says.

Prominent ears are fairly common, but many people do not realize they’re treatable. Others simply cannot afford the operation, which can range between $2,000 and $5,000.

> Timing is Everything “The ideal time is before the child starts first grade, so that teasing can be avoided. It occurs equally among boys and girls, although slightly more boys than girls have otoplasty at an earlier age, presumably because girls can hide their ears with longer hair,” Branham says.

Elective surgery for young children may seem shocking, but Plikaitis says by 5 or 6 years old, the ear is generally grown and the cartilage is strong enough to support sutures.“ It’s not a good idea to force the procedure on kids if they’re not interested, because it will be harder to get them to comply with recovery,” she says. “What I like to do in my consultations is talk about what the surgery is, as well as the recovery, and then let them really think about it and decide if/when it’s right for them.

I’ll show them before and after pictures and create digital pictures of what they’ll look like afterward, too.”

“We see adult patients who have the procedure, often because their parents could not afford it when they were young,” Branham says. > What to expect Following the surgery, a bulky dressing is applied to the ears to protect them and keep them in place as they are healing, Branham says. After a few days, a terry cloth headband is worn over the ears to protect them from getting bumped or being jostled during sleep and an antibiotic ointment is applied to the incisions for one week. The ears are tender to touch for the first week and will remain sensitive for several weeks if they are bumped.

Patients will see a difference almost immediately. “Once the dressing is removed, you should be able to appreciate the difference in how close the ear lies to the head. However, there is typically swelling and bruising that must resolve so that the ears can take their final shape,” Branham notes. Incisions are typically made behind the ear so the scars are inconspicuous.

Because surgery is done on the outside of the ear, there is no risk to the patient’s hearing.

Patients and their parents generally are very happy with the outcomes. “Ear deformities draw unwanted attention and teasing. I had one girl stop participating in basketball because she wouldn’t wear her hair up! This is a relatively simple procedure.

Patients do well, heal quickly and are usually really happy because this has bothered them for a long time,” Plikaitis says.

noses: second surgeries About 10 percent of rhinoplasty patients return for additional revisions—from small tweaks to major changes. Why? > Artistic Touch Required Rhinoplasty is commonly regarded as the most difficult cosmetic surgery. “There are many hard-to-control variables, such as skin thickness, cartilage strength, bone thickness, anatomic variation and healing rates,” says Dr. Brock Ridenour, a facial plastic surgeon. And because each and every maneuver performed during a rhinoplasty operation has an effect on the entire nose, this surgery requires both careful planning and ‘on the fly’ adjustments.

It’s no wonder, then, that a relatively high percentage of rhinoplasty patients seek revisions or secondary rhinoplasties, says Dr. L. Mike Nayak, a facial plastic surgeon. Nayak says there are four main reasons for patients to seek a secondary rhinoplasty. “One is communication —was it understood what you wanted? Two is the unpredictability of the surgery—everyone knows what you want, but it just didn’t turn out that way. Three, you got what you wanted, but it has changed over time. Four, you have changed and what once looked good on you no longer fits.

Notice, I didn’t say ‘bad result.’ The definition of a bad result is that the patient doesn’t like it. It’s very subjective,” he says.

“A small percentage of dissatisfied patients suffer from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a body-image problem characterized by persistent and intrusive preoccupations with an imagined or slight defect in one’s appearance,” adds Ridenour. “They’re best treated with the help of a mental health professional.”

> Are You a Candidate?

“Scarring of the nasal skin is the main limitation when planning secondary procedures,” says Ridenour. “Revision is almost always possible if the nasal skin is healthy and has adequate circulation.”

But solely being unhappy with your nose does not make you a candidate for rhinoplasty, points out Nayak. He notes that expectations must be realistic, in terms of what is achievable with each particular patient.

Scar tissue that develops around the nose after the original procedure and limitations imposed by changes in blood supply, skin thickness, and anatomy can make a second nose job complicated, Ridenour warns.

“Another challenge is that there often is a shortage of available materials (cartilage) for reconstruction, requiring the surgeon to borrow cartilage from the ear or a rib.”

Patients frequently experience more swelling after secondary rhinoplasty, and it takes longer to see the final outcome. Ridenour recommends working with the original surgeon, if possible. “If you wish to change doctors, find a surgeon with experience in revision rhinoplasty who has successfully treated many of these problems,” he adds.

> Avoiding Do-Overs Rhinoplasty surgery is a true art, so it’s important to find a surgeon whose aesthetic judgment matches your taste. Careful planning and communication will minimize the potential for postoperative dissatisfaction, Nayak says.

Nayak says he uses 3-D imaging to “show what I see in my head as reasonable, achievable and in good taste.” It’s a communication tool: “You say you want it a little bit smaller—but what does that mean?”

Zoe

Kravitz is steadily climbing the Hollywood ladder, and thanks to her striking and seductive features, Kravitz is quickly becoming a silver-screen siren. With her most recent role in this spring’s blockbuster, Mad Max, and last year’s super-successful Divergent franchise, Kravitz has been taking her red carpet premieres by storm. During last year’s Divergent opening, her silver, two-toned cat eye and slicked-back hair wowed fans and fashionistas alike. Whether you’re 22 or 52, getting Kravitz’s bold look isn’t as intimidating, or age-defining, as it looks. Here are a few simple steps for acheiving her sexy red carpet look, nose piercing optional.

makeup 1 | Mix Chanel’s Les 4 Ombres Quadra in Variation with rosewater before applying it over the lids

and around the inner eyes. Next, sweep the darkest shade below the eyes and upward to meet the lighter top lid hue. Finish the look with a thin line of Chanel Automatic Liquid Eyeliner in Noir above the upper lashes.

2 | If you can resist plucking your eyebrows, do it, and for any sparse spots, use Anastasia’s Brow Pen. Kravitz’s brows were bold and beautiful, and they perfectly framed her dramatic two-toned cat eye.

3 | Because of her bold eye makeup, Kravitz opted for light, natural coverage. So light, in fact, her freckles

were visible and added a very youthful aesthetic to her look. Get natural coverage with Kiehl’s BB CREAM with SPF 50. Offering color-correcting coverage, this is light enough to feel like you have nothing on, yet it keeps your skin fresh and fabulous.

4 | Sticking with a neutral palette, choose a lip gloss that closely matches your natural lip color. Bare

Minerals’ 100% Natural Lipgloss in Sugar Cookie is a beautiful nude tone that works well with most skin types.

hair 1 | Kravitz opted for a simple, sleek hairdo with a middle part and low bun. Make a middle part and blow dry your hair straight.

2 | For those with frizz, smooth down fly-aways with Oribe’s Supershine Moisturizing Hair Cream. Pull hair back into a low ponytail.

3 | Twist ponytail into a low bun.

Pin down bun around the nape of your neck. Make sure hair is tucked behind your ears, and add your favorite pair of chandelier earrings to top off your red carpet-ready look!

[from the garden summer: prep your autumn garden 速

by p. allen smith

Even though summer has just begun, gardeners need to start planning now for fall foliage and blooms. Excited as I am about the bounty and beauty summer will bring, I know autumn is close behind, and we gardeners always have to think a season ahead. Autumn offers a second chance to enjoy our gardens reborn in a new wave of vibrant colors.

So what to plant now for fall color? Consider a mix of perennials, shrubs, ornamental grasses and annuals that will be showy until the first frost. Shrubs are perfect for fall foliage and blooms. For instance, Tiny Wine Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolious) delivers richly hued foliage that will last the entire season, with pink and white blooms appearing in late spring. If you love roses, the Knock Out varieties are great for fall blooms.

One sure way to have lots of color is with fall-blooming perennials such as asters, Japanese anemones and numerous species of salvia. And no fall garden is complete without ornamental grasses.

These come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, everything from the small sea urchin fescue all the way up to one of my favorites, ‘Cheyenne Sky’ Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum).

Annuals are perfect for early fall. Plant them now so they will be colorful until the first frost. Two with autumn-themed colors include ColorBlaze Keystone Kopper Coleus, which has vivid copper foliage that rivals any bloom in a fall landscape, and Luscious Bananarama Lantana, which will give you a heap of saturated yellow blooms.

To make sure your new plants go the distance and make it to autumn, provide them with healthy soil and water. Feed your soil with an organic commercial fertilizer or work in some compost. Deep-soak your flower beds and containers in early morning. If you water during the heat of the day, moisture tends to evaporate before plants can soak up an adequate amount. And apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around your plants to retain moisture and keep the soil cool. With just a little attention, your plants will be happy and ready to shine when summer transitions to fall.

Dear Homework,

BEFORE

We love your weekly suggestions and hope you would consider critiquing our home. We have lived in this 45-year-old home for 14 years, and it is beginning to need some exterior maintenance. The siding and shutters need repainting, the cupola is deteriorating, the minimalist front entrance lacks curb appeal, and the landscape could use some help. We would welcome any pointers!

Sincerely,

Dear In Search of a Vision,

—In Search of a Vision

Your style house was built by the thousands from the late 1960s until the 1980s, perhaps because it was a dignified yet economical way to provide four-bedroom accommodation to an expanding suburban market. Because of this popularity, I have chosen your home for an Extra Credit analysis, which I will show in ascending order of difficulty and expense.

mwovooeds dogo

For the most straightforward scheme, I would start with the entry roof.

A copper roof with flared, curved sides would make this feature much more graceful. More-detailed support brackets would add to the charm, and new brick light piers at the corners of the stoop finish off the architectural upgrades to the entry.

The landscape has a few issues. I like the dogwood trees, but they will grow to block too much of the façade. I would move them beyond the edges of the two-storied portion of the house. Next, I would create an undulating plant bed that connects all parts of the garden in a casual yet powerful way. It should be planted with a variety of shrubs and flowers to impart a lush, romantic effect.

new brick light piers An upgrade from this scheme would be to give the architecture a greater level of formality with a columned front porch and new dormer windows to add some interest to the bland roof. A taller, more solid cupola carries over from the first scheme. A more formal take on the landscape, with its central walkway and clipped hedges, adds to the feeling of timeless dignity.

windows er m r o d ew n

columed front porch

For the final scheme, a bold change of color has the most impact. The new white color works with the new raised central pediment, bold corner pilasters and formal window heads, to lend an almost palatial feel to the façade. The curved wings of hornbeam trees and the semicircular walkway add a bold touch that makes the property feel anything but ordinary.

semi-circular walkway

A house like yours easily can be made to feel asymmetrical as well, so the remodeling opportunities are practically endless. Thanks for providing an example that could be of interest to many.

Decor This one’s easy: red, white and blue, everywhere and anywhere.

• Hang star-shaped twinkle lights on trees or bushes, stick miniature flags in flower pots and around walkways, and hang bunting on the buffet table, fence and porch.

• Use Mason jars or plastic Uncle Sam hats as vases for daisies and carnations.

Fun & Games Keep kids entertained with a bike-decorating contest. Let young guests know ahead of time to bring their bikes and trikes, and have a supply of streamers, pompoms, miniature flags, paper pinwheels and flowers on hand for kids to use for decorating.

• Put out buckets of childhood summertime favorites: sidewalk chalk, hula hoops and bubbles. If you dare, have a cooler full of water balloons ready and stage a giant water fight.

Sips & Sweets Set out coolers with a variety of beers, soda and water. Also have on hand chilled rosé and white wines, fresh lemonade and iced tea.

• After dinner is completed, place hot coals from the grill in foil-lined terra-cotta pots and distribute around the tables.

Set out marshmallows, chocolate bars, graham crackers and skewers for tableside s’mores.

• Serve ‘watermelon’ cookies: Dye sugar cookie dough pink, cut out in half circles and bake.

Stud hot cookies with mini chocolate chips. Once cool, dip the rounded edges in green powdered sugar icing.

After-dinner show

Traveling to a park for fireworks? Bring blankets and pack a cooler with plenty of ice, drinks, watermelon slices and fudgsicles (for homemade, try out the version on smittenkitchen.com).

Eats Keep it simple: barbecue or smoke ribs, pork steaks and chicken. Ask guests to bring an appetizer or side, such as pasta salad, chips, veggies with dip, or salad.

Have a variety of barbecue sauces on hand, from vinegary and tart to molasses-based and sweet.

• Alternately, set up a hot dog and bratwurst bar with a variety of toppings. Include the classics, but also mix in some unexpected options, such as pineapple, bacon, cucumber, tomatoes, Sriracha sauce, cabbage slaw, avocado, jalapenos, olives, hoisin sauce, scallions and cilantro.

• Cut out watermelon wedges and place on popsicle sticks for easy eating.

A 1914 Tudor-style home in Clayton

Goals of the homeowner

»

The owners had an oddly divided kitchen with a hard-to-reach butler’s pantry. By removing walls and creating new entry points, we transformed it into a modern kitchen with an era-appropriate look that provides natural light and plenty of work and gathering spaces. The kitchen includes a laundry room, dining area, chalkboard column and a swivel-mount TV above the refrigerator.

Favorite part of the project

»

I love the way the kitchen and butler’s pantry now are integrated into a cohesive space that includes the back staircase. The natural light from the dining area windows floods the space, making it happy and alive.

Initially, we wanted to eliminate the column near the middle of the kitchen, but structurally we were unable to do so. We turned an obstacle into a fun feature by integrating it into the island and covering it with chalkboard paint. Now it’s a colorful gathering point that constantly changes.
