from the editor's desk While thinking about words that have passed in and largely out of favor, I came across ‘boorish.’ We don’t use the term much anymore, but it’s the best way to describe some behaviors I witnessed recently. In one instance, a big, seemingly healthy, 60-something opened the heavy door to Plaza Frontenac just enough to squeeze through, then let it close behind him right as I approached. I was so stunned that when I whispered, Really?, it might have been audible. Just hours before that, in the checkout line at Straub’s, a gentleman (not) ducked in front of the line to pay for a newspaper while a woman was unloading her cart—without so much as an “excuse me.”

Sometimes I truly feel like uttering a Lloyd Bentsen-style: You, sir, are no gentleman. Trouble is, it wouldn’t offend anyone.

In fact, I did say it once to some guy who took a parking spot I was waiting for at Whole Foods, and his response was, F__ you. Times have evolved to where there simply are very few standards of behavior. If guests feel like, say, wearing sneakers or a T-shirt to a dinner party, they will. And when a couple reaches their car, it’s not really clear which is more insulting: when the male open the door for the woman (as if she can’t do it herself), or when he leaves her standing on the street waiting for the click?

But there are some niceties that are neither gender-specific nor outdated, like respecting a driver who gets to a parking spot first or keeping a door open for someone right behind you to pass through. Taking that extra second or two to hand off the door to someone—male or female, young or old—is simply the right thing to do. It’s polite. Now there’s another term that’s passe, but being polite will never go out of style.

COVER STORY

[LIFE CHANGING ST. LOUIS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM by alexa beattie THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING: Shanise Johnson, executive director of St. Louis Internship

Program (SLIP), was a product of it herself. Without the program, she says, her life would have been quite different. Johnson remembers with crystalline clarity her first day on the job as an intern at Moser & Marsalek, an erstwhile downtown law firm: It was 1995, and she had just completed her sophomore year at Soldan International Studies High School. “I had my resume with me in a nice portfolio,” she recalls. “I was neat in my SLIP uniform (blue blazer, white Oxford, floppy lady’s tie, khaki skirt), and eager for the challenge ahead.”

SLIP—a year-round internship program designed to help youth from financially disadvantaged backgrounds—trains St. Louis high-schoolers in skills they will need in the marketplace and places them in paid, eight-week internships with local businesses. Since its founding in 1992, nearly 4,000 students have completed the program. Ninety-eight percent have successfully acquired skills, graduated high school and pursued career goals. The interns are recruited from schools all over the city (private, parochial, charter and public). To be eligible, they must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA and qualify for free or reduced lunch. Johnson says the 100 internship spots are in high demand, and she hopes to increase that number in the near future.

Steven Taylor, who grew up in South City and went to Gateway Institute of Technology, also is a product of SLIP, and, perhaps more than anyone, can speak to the ways in which the program steered his life. The commercial real estate company where he worked in the summer of 2005 is where he works today. He says he always had an interest in residential real estate, but was matched by SLIP to a commercial real estate firm, where his interest flourished. At that time, the company (then called Colliers Turley Martin Tucker) was in Clayton. “I wasn’t familiar with Clayton—the people or the place. I was intimidated and naïve,” Taylor remembers. After his initial summer internship, he stayed on at the firm (working part-time during school and full-time during vacations) until he went off to Georgia State University, equipped with the scholarship and the computer the company had given him. “They were very kind to me,” Taylor says. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in real estate and is now the firm’s transaction manager, based in Atlanta.

The beauty of the program, says Michelle Martin, diversity and professional development manager at participating law firm Thompson Coburn, is that everybody wins: Students are wellprepared for professional careers, and employers benefit from the help of smart, hard-working young people. “I can’t keep them busy enough!” says Martin. “Teenagers these days are so techsavvy and can figure things out so much faster than anyone else.” She adds that Thompson Coburn has been part of the program since its beginnings 25 years ago.

SLIP celebrates a quarter-century this year at its Gala Ball and Auction, aptly named Infinite Possibilities! on Sept. 29 at The Coronado ballroom. “SLIP looks forward to continued community support in helping impact the lives of our city’s youth,” says Johnson. “The program truly changes the trajectory of people’s lives.”

SLIP is funded entirely through contributions from corporations, individuals, foundations and community organizations.

PATTY d e h s a e unl

BY PATTY HANNUM

I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO appear on the talk show Ellen; before, it was actually The Mike Douglas Show, but he is long gone. Why do I think I have anything to say? You see, when people realize I write this column, they always have questions. For a few moments I feel almost famous until they also want to discuss any delivery problems they have with their issue of Town&Style. So here’s the transcript from my fictional appearance on The Mike Douglas Show.

I enter, stage left, holding a martini and looking quite comfortable. No flop sweat for me. I air kiss Mike.

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

The Spirit of St. Louis Women’s Fund recently celebrated 10 years of

awarding grants to local agencies. In that time, the all-women’s philanthropy group has raised more than $1.8 million in grant money, which was dispersed to more than 70 local nonprofits. Pictured: Joni Karandjeff, Shelby Shagrin, Susan Block, Gwen Wesley

WHERE DO YOU GET THE IDEAS FOR COLUMNS?

They pop into my head, which is why I always carry a notebook. Often someone will say something, and it will lead me down a path. The best is when someone says, ‘This better not end up in your column,’ because right at that moment, I will stop and think what are they doing that is so darn interesting and I make sure to include it!

DOES ANYONE GET MAD ABOUT THE THINGS YOU WRITE? Yes. Some people don’t think I am funny

and will send an email to tell me. But hey, I worked in the financial services industry for a lot of years, so I learned to take nothing personally. I do think my family, especially my brothers and sister, are pretty good sports about what I write about them. I am forbidden to write about my children. And I think my mom is just hoping that one of these days I will find a new career.

ARE THERE COLUMNS YOU WISH YOU HAD NOT WRITTEN? Yes. But I will not tell you which ones

Bravo to CARL WILLIAMS, voted 2016 Father of the Year by Fathers' Support Center. Williams, a father of three, will throw out the first pitch at an upcoming Cardinals game and was fêted at the nonprofit's annual dinner. Fathers' Support Center offers services for men who want to learn better parenting skills and are committed to strong family relationships.

The SLSO has named a new resident conductor, GEMMA NEW, effective at the start of the 2016-17 season. The New Zealand-born maestro is currently music director for the Hamilton Philharmonic in Ontario, Canada, associate conductor for the New Jersey Symphony and founder of the Lunar Ensemble, a contemporary music collective in Baltimore. Welcome!

because that’s like telling you about the men I wish I had not dated.

DO YOU EVER GET WRITER’S BLOCK? I get it every

single week. My column is due on Wednesday, and the Thursday before is when I usually want to call my editor and tell her I can’t possibly turn in an article because I’ve run out of things to say. By Friday, I have an idea and I’ve calmed myself down.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FUNNY? Sometimes. I

think I am more snarky than funny. In my prior life, I used to travel around talking about taxes and retirement plans. I learned that if you didn’t want the audience to fall asleep, you better have some sort of schtick or you would never be invited back. I have a real need to be wanted, so I made taxes fun.

A great organization deserves great leaders, and that’s just what United Way is getting with this year’s Fundraising Campaign co-chairs. BJC HealthCare CEO and president STEVE LIPSTEIN and Moneta Group partner GENE DIEDERICH have been named co-chairs of the massive donation effort that supports the 16-county region’s education, health and basic needs network. Last year’s campaign, headed by two female executives (Suzanne Sitherwood and Sue McCollum), was the most successful to date, generating $74.3 million!

GENE DIEDERICH

STEVE LIPSTEIN

DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO WANTS TO BE A WRITER? Absolutely none about writing, because this gig I have is a total fluke. I got lucky. But I will say for anyone starting a new job that the key to success is being willing to do whatever anyone else won’t, as long as it is legal.

WOULD YOU EVER CONSIDER BEING A TALK SHOW HOST? Only if I could work with my idol, Andy Cohen. He is just like Mike, but currently alive and much naughtier.

A band with the kooky name Wack-A-Doo kicked off the monthly concert series in Maplewood’s Ryan Hummert Memorial Park. But that’s done and gone, so we’ll look to the future acts in the series, which will be held on the fourth Wednesday of every month through September. (If you’re curious and want to catch them elsewhere, Wack-A-Doo is known for toe-tapping vintage swing and Americana.)

UP NEXT: JUNE 22: The Bottoms Up Blues Gang serves up blues, jazz and folk.

JULY 27: The UltraViolets perform rock, pop and Motown.

AUG. 24: Enjoy a slice of New Orleans, some rock and R&B from Robbie & the Rockin’ Fools.

SEPT. 28: Griffin and the Gargoyles play rock ’n’ pop and classic rock.

BRIDGETON Southwest Airlines is celebrating

100 … not years, because that would mean their first aircraft was a biplane in 1916 … but 100 daily departures from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport to 43 destination cities. As of earlier this month, the carrier now has nonstop flights to Cleveland, Oakland and Portland. The airline had to acquire new gates to accommodate the extra traffic in and out of Terminal 2. But why are we announcing this item under a Bridgeton logo? The city’s chief airport is located in the county, about 10 miles northwest of downtown, with some of it sprawling into Bridgeton and Berkeley. BTW, Southwest Airlines was established in 1967 and adopted its present name in 1971.

BRIDGETON

It began as an experiment. Three decades later, the University City Public Art Series is the nation’s longestrunning public art collaboration between a university and a local municipality. Since 1986, students from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis have conceived, designed, proposed, constructed and installed scores of public artworks in the parks, along the thoroughfares, in the courtyards and other public U. CITY spaces of the university’s neighbor to the north: U. City. For Washington U.’s art students, the series has become a rite of passage, a chance to explore the social aspects and civic responsibilities of being an artist. Media have included everything from wood and plywood to metal, plexiglass and tin-type photography using contemporary subjects. Stocks, the wooden contraption from a few centuries ago where a miscreant’s head and arms were immobilized for the townspeople to ridicule, have been reimagined in clear plexiglass.

It’s thought-provoking, to say the least. There’s the metal sculpture of a man carrying an umbrella.

It’s whimsical. One project was a big wooden chair … so tall that Kobe Bryant probably couldn’t reach the seat no matter how high he jumped. (Yes, Kobe, that’s a challenge.)

Many of the works can be seen along Delmar Boulevard or in Heman Park. Some of the projects were temporary installations, but can still be viewed online.

At any rate, since the project’s inception in the fall of 1986, 17 professors, four deans, two chancellors, 60 commission members, two mayors … and more than 200 students … have collaborated on it.

Hack, hackers, hacking, hacky sack.

Maybe only the fourth term doesn’t have a negative connotation. Well, organizers of a recent tech outreach program have turned the ‘bad’ words on their ear: Hack4Hope returned for a second year to offer a weekend Hackathon to prepare underserved youth for careers in technology.

Over the weekend of June 10, students with little to no experience from low-opportunity communities spent a weekend at CIC/Cortex in the Central West End, gratis.

They worked with volunteer mentors, including some of the tech industry’s most experienced programmers, innovators and business strategists. A follow-up sixmonth academy hopes to train the young coders in programming languages, career strategies and essaywriting skills. Hack4Hope is designed to help kids realize their value and connect them to resources in St. Louis.

And Cortex is a hotbed of innovation in a city that has become an embarrassment of riches when it comes to tech startups, whether they’re inventing medical devices, developing ways to increase crop yields, or making renewable energy even more efficient. But kids are still kids. One teenager thrilled at the Mad Libs she created.

But she also designed a restaurant menu and built a website … and admitted that the website was the most rewarding part of her experience. Perhaps this young lady will land one of the 10,000 new tech jobs observers say may be available in the next five years throughout the metro. Hack4Hope continues this nonprofit initiative under lead partners ITEN, an entrepreneur support group, the Education Exchange Corps, a local education and community empowerment organization, and a list of others that would take up too much space to list here.

Registration is currently open for a one-day Hackathon slated for Oct. 1.

TOWN TALK

Want to take a stroll any given Saturday but aren’t sure where to go?

Lace up your most comfortable shoes and join in on three weekly walking tours of downtown St. Louis. Routes highlight the area’s architecture and history and uncover surprising secrets about the people and places that helped shape the city. Sponsored by the nonprofits Landmarks Association of St. Louis and ReVitalize St. Louis, tours are held each Saturday, rain or shine, through Oct. 29. The three options are: > DOWNTOWN EAST: Starts at 10 a.m. from the Broadway entrance to the Old Courthouse, Broadway at Market Street. Highlights include the Old Cathedral, the Old Courthouse, Eads Bridge, the Old Post Office District and the historic Wainwright Building, which is the first skyscraper in the universe (although puny by today’s standards—it’s only 10 stories tall. Maybe the sky was lower in the 1890s, when it was completed?). > DOWNTOWN WEST: Starts at 10 a.m. from the main Market Street entrance to St. Louis Union Station’s DoubleTree by Hilton, 1820 Market St. Itinerary includes Union Station, the Peabody Opera House, City Hall, Soldiers Memorial, the Central Library and the Campbell House Museum. > DOWNTOWN NORTH/WASHINGTON AVENUE: Meet at 1 p.m. outside Tigin Restaurant, Washington Avenue at 4th Street (the Hampton Inn). Learn about our heritage as a garment industry hub, and drink in some of the newest additions to downtown’s dining and cultural scene.

Each tour costs $10 per adult (cash only) and is free for children 12 and younger. Reservations are not required for groups of fewer than 10. Landmarks Association experts serve as guides.

SPRING

SPORTS WRAP-UP

by bill hester

The spring season was another successful one for athletes throughout the T&S area, but it was especially noteworthy for MICDS. The Rams had team champions in golf, girls track, tennis and baseball, with numerous individual champions as well. The school had a total of 11 programs that finished either first or second this school year! “It’s the kids, and it’s the coaches,” says athletic director Josh Smith.

“It was an amazing finish to the school year.”

[ boys track ]

JOHN BURROUGHS captured

the Class 3 team championship at the state meet at Adkins Stadium in Jefferson City. The Bombers finished with 73 points, 15 more than second-place Lamar. The team had both an individual RONALD SMITH OF JOHN BURROUGHS champion (Ronald Smith in the 110-meter hurdles) and a relay champion (the 4x400 meters). They also finished second in the 4x200 relay and had two runners in the championship heat 100-meter dash: Christopher Booker and Xavier Miller. Smith added a third-place finish in the triple jump to his state title in the hurdles.

PRINCIPIA’s Carey Carter was also a state champion in Class 3, winning the 200-meter dash.

LAFAYETTE won a team title, capturing the Class 5 (largest school) division with 81 points. Another area school, SLUH, was second with 59 points. The Lancers had a pair of individual champions (Dylan Quisenberry in the 800 and Austin Hindman in the 3,200), who also ran legs in the state champion 4x800 relay team, along with Alec Haines and Devin Meyrer.

SLUH had a pair of individual state champs in Class 5: Jayson Ashford won the 200-meter dash, and Dustan Davidson captured the 1,600-meter run. Lafayette

finished second, third and fourth (Meyrer, Haines and Quisenberry) in the 1,600. Lafayette dominated the distance events at state, as Hindman, Meyrer and Haines finished one, two and three in the 3,200-meter run. PARKWAY SOUTH’s Austin Lawless, another state champ, won the shot put.

[ girls track ]

MICDS captured its second title in girls track, and it was a team effort.

Three different champions starred, and the Rams also won a relay in Class 4. PARKWAY CENTRAL (fourth), and WEBSTER GROVES (10th) also had top 10 finishes. Zionn Pearson (long jump), Cara Johnson (100) and Margaret Sliney (400) were individual champs for MICDS, while the Rams won the 4x400 meters. They took second in both the 4x100 meters and 4x200 meters.

LADUE’s Kaitlen Crawford had an outstanding state meet, finishing second in the 300-meter hurdles and third in the 100-meter hurdles. Parkway Central had a pair of top-three finishers: Lizzie Dejoie in the 400 and Sarah Madsen in the 800. Webster’s Nia Lyles was second in shot put, and VISITATION’s Maegan Saleh was third in long jump. BRENTWOOD standout Sophia Rivera added another state title, winning the discus in Class 2. BURROUGHS finished second as a team in Class 3. The Bombers were paced by Madison Fuller, who won the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Teammate Lailah Elliott was second in the 100 and also finished second in the triple jump.

WHITFIELD’s Alex Curtin was a state champ in Class 3, winning the 3,200-meter run.

LAFAYETTE and KIRKWOOD had top 10 team finishes in Class 5, the Lancers placing fourth while Kirkwood was eighth.

As with the boys, Lafayette led in distance runners. Anna West was a state champ in the 1,600, while Sarah Nicholson won the 3,200 meters. They also combined with Millie Rogan and Margaret Nicholson to win the 4x800-meter relay. Kirkwood had a pair of second-place finishes: Kara Steele in the triple jump and the Pioneer 4x400meter relay team.

NERINX HALL was second in the 4x800-meter relay, while Nicki Horn of the Markers was fourth individually in the 400.

[ baseball ]

MICDS closed out the spring in style with its first team title in baseball. The Rams had been to only one other Final Four (in 2011). They entered post-season with a solid 17-7 record but saved their best for the big stage. The school defeated Aurora 7-4 in the semifinals and capped off their initial championship with a 7-3 win over Boonville as Luke Layton pitched a complete game to improve to 6-1 for the season, while Kyle Yamaguchi paced the Rams offense with a three-for-three effort. MICDS was the only area champion in baseball and the only team to reach the Final Four.

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY HIGH and PARKWAY CENTRAL fell one game short of making it to O’Fallon. The Junior Bills defeated Lafayette 5-1 in an exciting Class 5 sectional game but fell to LINDBERGH 11-2 in the quarterfinals. Parkway Central, which also played in Class 5, defeated Hazelwood West 6-0 in the quarterfinals before seeing its season ended by Francis Howell, which captured the state championship.

Individually, Jake Matheny was named the Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year.

The WESTMINSTER CHRISTIAN ACADEMY senior catcher, son of Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, hit .414 for the Wildcats and led the St. Louis area with 11 home runs.

He had a .870 slugging percentage as 22 of his 46 hits went for extra bases.

[ girls soccer ]

ST. JOSEPH’S ACADEMY had another stellar season with a 21-3-1 record, but fell one game short of another state championship. They advanced to the Class 4 finals, as they gave up just one game in three post-season games. VISITATION also made the Final Four in Kansas City. The Vivettes defeated Webster Groves 1-0 in the sectionals and had a convincing 6-0 victory over Festus in the quarterfinals. But they lost in the semifinals to Rockwood Summit 3-0. They tied INCARNATE WORD ACADEMY 0-0 in the third-place game.

WHITFIELD has the best area showing in Class 1, with the Warriors making it to the quarterfinals in Class 1, where they lost to Trinity 2-0. Several area players were among the best in St. Louis statistically. WESTMINSTER’s Kirsten Davis was second in the area, scoring 37 goals. LADUE’s Claire Petersen led the entire St. Louis area in assists with 25, while WEBSTER GROVES’ Megan McClure was the area leader with 21 shutouts.

MICDS GOLF

[ boys golf ]

MICDS had both a team champion and individual titlist. The Rams captured the team title in Class 3, and Michael O’Keefe was the co-champion individually. Andrew Lilly also had a top 10 finish individually, at seventh. PRIORY finished fourth as a team in Class 3 and also had a top 10 finisher with Thomas Weaver tying Lilly for seventh place.

Four area teams finished in the top seven in Class 4. CHAMINADE had the top finish. The Red Devils were third, followed by DE SMET in fifth, MARQUETTE in sixth and SLUH in seventh.

Marquette’s Frankie Thomas had a fourth-place finish individually. CBC’s Zach Bohmer and LAFAYETTE’s Maxwell Kreikemeier were tied for 10th. Whitfield had a sixth-place finish in Class 2. The Warriors were led by Alex Freund, who finished 15th overall.

[ boys tennis ]

MICDS dominated the Class 1 field, capturing its fourth consecutive team title. The Rams, who won their 16th team title in 2016, did not lose a single court, dominating all post-season matches by 5-0 scores. Individual Rams also shone, achieving a likely first in state history in tennis as with players in the finals in both singles and doubles.

Joe McAllister defeated Tyler Raclin in the Class 1 singles championship, and Rex Serituk and Rohit Chouhan beat teammates Robert Baisch and David Grossman in the doubles title match.

BURROUGHS also made the Final Four in Class 1, finishing third. Top player Zale Shah was fifth individually in singles. PARKWAY SOUTH star Carson Haskins repeated his Class 2 singles championship. The No. 1-ranked player in the country in boys 16’s, he has gone undefeated in his two years of high school tennis and has yet to lose a set! MARQUETTE was the lone Class 2 area team to make it to Springfield. The Mustangs finished fourth. PARKWAY WEST’s Kenji Yanaba and Dillan Youngberg were second in Class 2 doubles.

[ boys lacrosse ]

It was another state title for MICDS in boys lacrosse. The Rams defeated SLUH 7-1 in the Missouri Scholastic Lacrosse Association Division 1 championship match at Lindenwood University. The Rams outscored their opponents 35-6 in three playoff games to win the title for the third consecutive season. MICDS senior goalie Matt Trowbridge was named Most Valuable Player. PRIORY avenged a loss in the 2015 championship game with a thrilling 7-6 victory over O’Fallon to capture the Division 2 title.

[ boys volleyball ]

It was deja vu for SLUH, when, for the second year in a row, the Junior Bills defeated Lafayette in three sets to win the Class 4 championship. This was the eighth overall title for them, with a 33-2 overall finish. This breaks a tie with Vianney for the most wins in history! PARKWAY CENTRAL fell to undefeated Affton in three sets in the Class 3 state tournament.

Yourself in Wow. THE COMPASS RETIREMENT TEAM: ARLENE HUDSON, SUZANNE CLARE, MARVIN MITCHELL, JESSICA WILLIAMS AND JESSICA PEDRAZA

COVER STORY

TRUST IN YOUR FUTURE COMPASS RETIREMENT SOLUTIONS by alexa beattie MARVIN MITCHELL, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF COMPASS RETIREMENT SOLUTIONS, was not

born to money. In fact, he knows firsthand the impact financial hardship can have on a family.

A graduate of Parkway North High School (’02), he attended Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville to study law, but did an about-face when his grandmother became gravely ill and he returned home to look after her. “The stock market crashed; she had no long-term care insurance and ran out of money quickly,” he explains. “The family pulled together, but my grandmother felt she was a burden. It ate me up inside.” After she died, Mitchell set out to have a career in finance.

After five years at a large Wall Street firm in town, the native St. Louisan formed Compass Retirement Solutions. This summer, his company will be honored at the St. Louis County NAACP’s annual Freedom Fund Dinner for its dedication to the community. In the past year, Compass Retirement has given out more than $50,000 in college scholarships to area youth. “And we’re just going to keep on giving,” Mitchell says.

In addition, the 31-year-old recently learned he is among five finalists being considered for Retirement Advisor magazine’s Retirement Advisor of the Year award, in recognition of Compass’ status as one of the fastest growing retirement advising firms in St. Louis. In 2015, the company quadrupled in both clients and revenue, Mitchell reports.

He says he started his practice in memory of his grandmother; her end-of-life experiences illustrated to him the importance of protecting the future. “We understand our clients’ pain points,” he says, citing primary concerns like turbulent markets, low interest rates for savings accounts and complex industry jargon. “People facing retirement want to increase their assets, reduce risk and protect their hard-earned money, so they don’t outlive their income,” he says.

Although his company serves people of all ages, Mitchell says he is “most passionate” about baby boomers, who make up 90 percent of his clientele. This generation tends to be responsible and motivated to leave a legacy, he explains, adding that at any age, people need uncomplicated language and someone they can trust. “Our mission statement is: Positioning you for a safe and secure retirement,” he says. “And that is what we do.” Part of Mitchell’s process is to refer clients to experts, when appropriate, in areas such as estate planning, taxes, and health care legislation.

In addition to their financial contributions to the St. Louis community, Mitchell reports that he and his staff also give their time, volunteering regularly in nursing homes, homeless shelters and elementary schools. “To whom much is given, much is required ... it is a requirement in my life and in my business that I give back,” he says. “I am a firm believer in paying it forward, and it brings me great joy that I am able to do so now.”

THE CHEF

THE FAVORITES

House-Crafted Breads, Citrus-Marinated Olives, Pork Belly, Charred Octopus, Chocolate Melt, Scallop Chowder, Ricotta Tart

THE CHASE PARK PLAZA has totally revamped its fine dining restaurant, formerly Eau Bistro. Now, it’s designed to be a more casual ‘gathering place’ but still with gourmet food. The heavy interior of old has been monotoned into grays and blacks for an appealing contemporary vibe. The bar area, especially, is inviting.

The kitchen team includes Collin Smelser as chef de cuisine and a capable David Laufer as pastry chef (don’t miss the bread board). The menu offers an array of nibbles like olives, cheeses and spreads, along with an impressive list of small plates that run the gamut from meatballs to strip steak. Dishes are savory, interesting and not fussy.

We started with Citrus Marinated Olives ($7) and Charred Octopus ($10). The olives were delicious, having been marinated in lemon juice instead of vinegar, so they had a milder acidity. The octopus was slow-cooked to tender consistency and charred for a smoky finish. It came on a piquant sunchoke puree, along with several doughy gnocchi doused with rich

brown butter—an excellent and unique dish.

A salad of Warm Baby Kale ($9) was delicious, with tender baby greens served wilted and tossed with shallot rings, tiny cubes of still-firm squash and deepfried garlic slivers. The miso vinaigrette dressing was intensely sweet and salty. Scallop Chowder ($10) was another winner, but would have been more accurately called New England clam chowder with scallops on top—delectably pan-seared bay scallops.

Our heartier fare included Pork Belly ($13) and Bone-In Short Rib ($20), each tender and flavorful, but packed with fat. The rib, acutally, was too fatty (and not enough food for the pricetag), but came on a delicious butternut squash puree. The pork had been rendered of its fat to yield a generous pile of crisp and thick pork ‘fingers’ glazed with sticky sweet soy and chili oil. Its roasted Brussels sprouts were firm, crisp and fat-laden.

Even though this is a small-plates restaurant (with protein portions a meagre 4 ounces), with the bigger plates, you’re treated to a few accompaniments. The

Grilled Lamb T-Bone ($20), although not much meat, had goat cheese spaetzle liberally scattered beneath it that carried the dish. Crispy, doughy and satisfying, they were dotted with exotic wild mushrooms, most notably enoki, and a fragrant rosemary jus. Be forewarned that the kitchen apparently loves salt. Every dish, from the salad to the short ribs, was noticeably salty.

The Barramundi ($15) was a decent-sized fillet nicely browned on top and presented with beautiful Royal Trumpet mushrooms. These are massive and filling. A sweet hazelnut vinaigrette was drizzled over all, with visible chunks of hazelnut adding an exotic element.

The pastry chef is especially talented, so give some serious consideration to indulging. My vote goes to the Chocolate Melt ($8), a dark chocolate shell with peanut butter ice cream and salted caramel sauce. Chef Laufer’s version of cheesecake, Ricotta Tart, also shines. The cream cheese filling sits in a hearty oat tart shell, with orange curd and bright raspberry coulis on top. Around the tart are orange supremes and fresh raspberries.

[QUICK BITES by dorothy weiner

[ a new niche ]

Gerard Craft’s new SARDELLA, which is replacing his former Niche at 7734 Forysth Blvd., is set to open soon as “a fun, seasonal, creative restaurant with a nod to Italy.” The decor is getting an overhaul, and new exec chef NICK BLUE is working with Craft to “cook food we feel passionate about and in turn excites our guests.” One thing we know, it will be Italian cuisine and include creative hand-stuffed pastas, a large selection of appetizers and roasted meat entrees. BONUS: It will be open for breakfast and lunch, as well as dinner!

Scan the code to get our top picks for weekend fun.

PS: Niche Food Group also gets a shout-out for partnering with Operation Food Search recently to host an Urban Pop-Up lunch for local families in need. Using provisions donated by STRAUB’S, Craft and his team created a meal for individuals who receive pantry services from Mount Olive Lutheran Church in the Shaw neighborhood.

[ topsy-turvy ]

The news is still fresh that HERBIE’S VINTAGE ‘72 is leaving the CWE for Clayton, taking up residence in the soon-to-be-shuttered CARDWELL’S. That Clayton restaurant’s longtime (and very gracious) proprietors, RICH and DEBBIE GORCZYCA, plan to retire, which leaves an opening at one of the prettiest spots in town. Herbie’s chef-owner AARON TEITELBAUM says he’ll bring the Herbie’s/Balaban’s historic ambiance and French decor to the new spot. Perhaps he was lured by the prospect of a lively lunch crowd in this bustling county seat?

The closings are going down Oct. 1, with a proposed opening date for Herbie’s Clayton in November.

[ nevermind ... ] Hacienda’s new Mexican spot in Clayton will be named MAYANA MEXICAN KITCHEN (not Wet Burrito, as first announced).

Look for the fast-casual cantina at 7810 Forsyth Blvd. to open in July. It will feature burritos made-to-order in a food line, but also will have fry bread tacos and wet burritos melted in a salamander broiler. All salsas, guacamoles and tortillas will be made fresh, in-house.

Congrats to AUGUSTA WINE COMPANY on its six awards at the recent Pacific Rim Wine Competition in California. Its Augusta Winery’s 2013 Norton snagged Best of Class and gold medals, and its 2013 Chambourcin and Montelle Winery’s 2015 Seyval Blanc won gold medals. Bit of trivia: Augusta, Missouri, was the first American viticultural area. Who knew!

[ high-octane fitz’s ] The popular local root beer company recently launched hard root beer, brewed and bottled at O’FALLON BREWERY. The partners, FITZ’S MICHAEL ALTER and O’Fallon’s JIM GORCZYCA, say it took 11 months of experimentation to properly pair the iconic soft drink’s flavor with beer. The hard root beer is 5 percent alcohol and will be available in six-packs and kegs. You can find it throughout Missouri and Illinois, and on-tap at Fitz’s in the Loop and O’Fallon Brewery.

LEISURE

FRONT& CENTER] by donna parrone

SHANARA GABRIELLE AND ANDREW MICHAEL NEIMAN IN YENTL

‘EXPERIMENTAL’ WAS THE WORD AROUND TOWN THIS MONTH with four fascinating approaches to theatrical storytelling. New Jewish Theatre’s season ender Yentl, with a terrific Shanara Gabrielle in the title role, combined an old Yiddish short story with a new contemporary score composed by Jill Sobule. Under the direction of Edward Coffield, the able chorus played numerous roles and told an ‘ancient’ tale of a girl, her education and friendships. There were standout performances from Gabrielle and Andrew Michael Neiman, and Amy Loui’s pigtailed teen was a delight.

Some songs didn’t further the storytelling as well as others did, and some were pure fun, such as Yentl’s wife, Hadass’ lament, “Oh Shit.” Taylor Steward played Hadass with great charm.

Upstream Theater stepped closer to home for once, presenting Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie during the recent festival honoring the local playwright. J. Samuel Davis as Tom and Linda Kennedy as Amanda had an energy in their exchanges that created a very different play from previous versions I’ve seen. Certainly the scenes between the two are brilliant, and the mother-son relationship was strong. Sydney Frasure as the delicate, introverted Laura was at her best in the scene with the gentleman caller, a charismatic Jason Contini. Color-blind casting is only vaguely experimental, but hearing Williams’ tales of the old South spoken by an actor of color does provide an extra layer to contemplate.

What could be more experimental than making a musical about experiments?

New Line’s splendid offering of Atomic is a musical about the morality musings of the

scientists who worked together on the Manhattan Project. Atomic combined a great cast with gorgeous voices and a wonderfully crafted script and score by Danny Ginges and Philip Foxman, all led by the simmering volcano of passion that is Zachary Allen Farmer. His buttoned-up Leo Szilard was riveting. Kudos to the seven-piece band as well; it sounded great, and the addition of the cello added a warm grounding that made it sound even bigger. This is a musical where the songs really do further the action and run the gamut from a delightful three-piece female harmony, “Holes in the Doughnuts,” to the testosterone-laden “Stars and Stripes” sung by Farmer and Jeffrey M. Wright. And major kudos to Ken and Nancy Kranzberg, who have created a delightful space for a small professional company with Marcelle Theater.

Broken Bone Bathtub, a creation by Brooklyn actor Siobhan O’Loughlin, was presented by That Uppity Theatre Company and The Drama Club Stl in the Lavender Lady bathroom at The Lemp Mansion. It was another terrific example of theatrical experimentation. Eleven of us sat around the tub while O’Loughlin told us the story of her broken hand. What emerged from the interactive experience was a vunerable telling of many stories, both from the actor and the audience. Because she is so vulnerable, it allowed the audience to expose their own stories of human connection.

Go prepared to say “yes.”

In closing, the local theater community lost one of its own when actor Barry Weller (B. Weller) died unexpectedly, a few days after his 50th birthday. Rest in peace, dear friend. You were a man of many faces, but always one of a kind.

Who hasn’t felt a little murderous rage when dealing with insurance companies? This thriller from Mexican director Rodrigo Plá takes that common experience and pushes it to the extreme. The fast-paced, artsy film tells the story of a Mexico City housewife, Sonia (Jana Raluy), who takes on the health insurance company that is refusing her husband, who is dying from cancer, a necessary treatment. When she confronts and is shot down by layer after layer of higher-ups in the monstrous bureaucratic system, she becomes increasingly desperate. Guns are brandished, executives are confronted in their own homes, and it’s clear that Sonia is willing to go to any lengths necessary to save her husband.

At a swift 75 minutes, this film quickly draws you into Sonia’s maddening world.

Although not exactly plausible that a scuffle with an insurance company would quickly turn so nasty, the film works because it is, violence aside, relatable: Who hasn’t had an aggravating runaround with a large, faceless entity? The film also scores points for being visually interesting.

COVER STORY

HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS ] WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PHYSICIANS by alexa beattie WEIGHT LOSS CAN BE A TRICKY BUSINESS. Anyone who’s ever been ‘on a diet’

knows that. For some, losing a few pounds and keeping them off works. For others, it’s a lifelong process of up-and-down fluctuations necessitating different wardrobes and posing serious health threats. But Washington University weight loss specialists are offering a new nonsurgical program, which, over the past year, has made a significant difference in the lives of many overweight people. The bariatric endoscopic procedure— which uses an intragastric balloon to induce feelings of satiety—is designed for women who are 10 to 50 pounds overweight and men with excess weight of between 20 and 70 pounds. It is not meant for the chronically obese for whom gastric bypass surgery, gastric banding or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy might be necessary.

Dr. Vladimir Kushnir, Washington University gastroenterologist, explains that the balloon system is designed to kickstart a weight loss initiative and other lifestyle changes.

The balloon stays in place for six months, but the complete 12-month program offered

by Washington University Physicians includes life coaching, behavioral counseling and nutrition education, with the goal of effecting lifelong changes in diet. “Our aim,” says Kushnir, “is to help with initial weight loss and teach healthier eating habits. Patients get used to eating smaller meals because they feel fuller, and they learn ways to manage their weight moving forward.”

During the outpatient endoscopic procedure, a deflated balloon (made of a soft plastic) is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach by endoscope and inflated

to the size of a small melon with salt water.

“The procedure is very straightforward,” Kushnir says. It takes between 5 and 15 minutes, and patients usually can return to work in a few days. He says studies show that three years after balloon insertion, a DR. VLADIMIR KUSHNIR reduction in the original starting weight is maintained. Since the device’s FDA approval last year, Washington University physicians have performed 40 procedures, with less than 5 percent of patients experiencing major complications, Kushnir says.

Bariatric endoscopy currently is not covered by insurance. “Including device placement, removal, dietary intervention and lifestyle coaching, the entire 12-month program can cost between $7,100 and $7,600,” he says. Candidates include those who: have attempted weight loss through diet and exercise without success; have not had previous surgeries in the small intestine or stomach; are not on blood thinners; and are age 22 and above.

Kushnir adds that Washington University is currently involved in clinical research on emerging technologies in this field, in particular a new swallowable capsule that contains a balloon inflated with nitrogen gas through an attached tube. It is expected to be on the market within a year.

THE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY BARIATRIC ENDOSCOPY PROGRAM IS OFFERED AT THE BARNES-JEWISH WEST COUNTY HOSPITAL CAMPUS AT 1020 N. MASON ROAD IN CREVE COEUR.

PIPELINE

LOOKS PROMISING

BY MARY JO B L ACKWOOD , R.N., MPH

Each year, we introduce readers to promising medical studies, grants and discoveries that are moving clinical practice forward, sometimes by leaps and bounds.

The inspiring work of local researchers shows us how bright the future of medicine is across a wide range of disciplines. Bravo to our hard-working scientists!

REVERSING AUTISTIC BEHAVIORS

Autism spectrum disorder is composed of neurodevelopmental disorders that manifest as difficulty with social interaction and communication, along with excessive repetitive behaviors. While some medications address some of the symptoms, no drug therapies exist to treat the underlying condition. Saint Louis University researchers report that treating mice with a compound called SR1078 reduces the obsessive compulsive autistic behavior.

Researchers now know that certain genes tend to be underexpressed (underactive) in the brains of autistic children, as is RORA, an activator of gene expression that has been shown to regulate those key genes.

The compound being developed and tested by Thomas Burris, Ph.D., SLU chair of pharmacology and physiology, increases the activity of RORA, thereby increasing activity in the underperforming genes and raising them to the function of a normal brain. The test mice, which were bred to excessively groom themselves, reduced grooming to normal levels when given the SR1078 compound,”says Burris.

He and his team believe that by directly targeting a protein to regulate other genes, they can avoid the side effects of antipsychotic drugs and help the autistic brain perform at more normal levels.

The compound will be used to create an oral medication at the correct dose and safety profile before clinical trials with people begin. Burris recently received a National Institutes of Health grant to continue his work. Says Burris, “Our goal is to stimulate genes stifled by the autism spectrum disorder. This field currently offers very few pharmacological options. We hope this will be the start of developing therapies that will get closer to treating autism’s root cause.”

Saint Louis University researchers report that treating mice with a compound called SR1078 reduces the obsessive compulsive autistic behavior.

EARLY CHILDHOOD DEPRESSION

The brains of children who suffer clinical depression as preschoolers develop abnormally, say researchers at Washington University School of Medicine. Their gray matter—the tissue that connects brain cells, carries signals between cells, and is involved in vision, hearing, memory, decision-making and emotion— is lower and thinner at the cortex, where the brain processes emotion.

This finding has shown researchers that a life experience, such as an episode of depression, can change the actual anatomy of the brain. First author Dr. Joan Luby, professor of child psychiatry, says they previously thought the brain developed in a predetermined way.

“It may help explain why children and others who are depressed have difficulty regulating their moods and emotions,” Luby says.

For the study, 193 children were included, 90 of whom had been diagnosed with depression as preschoolers. Researchers did clinical evaluations and performed MRI scans at three points in their development. “Changes reflect an actual difference in brain maturation that emerges over the course of development,” Luby notes.

She explains that normally, children develop gray matter until puberty and as the brain gets more efficient at communication, unnecessary cells die off. Her study showed a much steeper drop-off in gray matter in the kids who had been depressed, with the greatest loss correlated to the most severe depression. The researchers want to determine if early intervention can make brain development in this population healthier.

A new study just starting will focus on treatment with parent-child psychotherapy. Researchers are looking for 250 caregiver parents and their preschoolers for a randomized study evaluating the effectiveness of 18 weeks of psychotherapy for the parent and child.

NOVEL GERIATRIC SOLUTION

America is aging at an unprecedented rate, but the number of board-certified geriatric specialists isn’t keeping up. A promising alternative for Missouri has come in the form of a $2.5 million, threeyear Department of Health and Human Services grant for Saint Louis University to train primary care providers in geriatrics.

Dr. John Morley, SLU director of geriatric medicine and the project’s director, is working with co-director Marla Berg-Weger, Ph.D., SLU professor of social work, to create The Gateway Geriatric Education Center Workforce Enhancement Program. The idea is to assemble a team of community partners to refer geriatric patients to health professionals who can help them access timely treatment.

“This will compensate for our lack of geriatric infrastructure,” says Morley. “We have developed a computer-based diagnosis and management system for physicians and other professionals to catch treatable geriatric issues.”

AMONG THE INITIATIVES:

Educating 1,100 health care students and providers on a team approach to improving care for older adults. Non-geriatric trained health professionals can be trained to use the Rapid Geriatric Assessment System to evaluate for frailty, loss of muscle, anorexia of aging and cognitive dysfunction.

Designating three faculty members from universities in the state annually as Geriatric Leadership Scholars, who will receive specialized training and mentoring.

Training 5,000 patients, family members and care providers to improve quality of life for geriatric patients through diet, exercise and social stimulation.

Teaching 220 health care professionals how to deliver a non-drug treatment called Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders.

As the new program is expanded over underserved areas in St. Louis and surrounding regions, Morley expects the health of older Missourians to improve measurably. For more information, visit aging.slu.edu.

IMPLANTABLE DEVICES TO BLOCK PAIN

A novel technology is enabling scientists to implant flexible devices to activate and, in theory, block pain signals. At Washington University School of Medicine, Robert Gereau IV, Ph.D., director of the Washington University Pain Center, is encouraged.

“A new field called optogenetics is allowing us to create a device called a microLED, which stimulates a light-sensitive gene to turn on pain pathways,” he says. “The paper we just published is a proof of concept that light activation can turn on neurons in the pain pathway. Another type of gene is inhibitory to cells to stop pain. If we can insert an on-switch protein into a neuron, we could also insert off-switch neurons into the pain pathway to turn off the pain signals before they reach the brain.”

Once they find the right switch to turn off pain in mice, they will begin the process of translating that to people. Their big advance, Gereau says, has been the microLED, which can be sutured in place in contoured, moving parts of the body: the spine, brain, bladder, stomach and heart. Earlier versions were rigid and impeded movement. This soft, flexible, miniaturized implant can then be powered wirelessly with radiofrequency energy from a small outside transmitter attached to the patient’s wrist, for example.

The Pain Center’s goal is to develop non-addictive options for chronic pain control. Gereau says bringing this technology to clinical practice is still years off, but it looks promising.

OPIOID USE & DEPRESSION

In a study published in January, researchers at Saint Louis University found that opioid pain medications used for longer than 30 days increased the risk of new onset depression. “The U.S. leads the world in opioid consumption,” says lead investigator Jeffrey Scherrer, Ph.D., SLU associate professor for family and community medicine.

Opioids are pain medications that include codeine, morphine, Vicodin, OxyContin and fentanyl. Vicodin, Scherrer says, accounts for 90 percent of the prescriptions. “There is a place for opioids in acute pain management, but not long term. What we found in our study of three large patient populations is that after about 30 days of use, opioids may lead to changes in neuroanatomy, causing depression symptoms and a decrease in testosterone—and the effect is independent of dosage.”

Scherrer says several papers have demonstrated similar problems with continued opioid use. “Patients whose depression was in remission were twice as likely to experience a return of their depression when they started opioids. Plus, patients with chronic pain and a history of depression are more vulnerable to opioid abuse and to needing greater doses.”

An additional study alarms Scherrer with its findings that patients being treated for depression who had taken opioids became resistant to depression treatments. He says physicians should look to other treatments for chronic pain after 30 days since there is no evidence that opioids are effective long-term, and doctors should also screen patients for depression frequently.

ANTACID INGREDIENT STOPS TUMORS

Engineers at Washington University have found a way to keep a cancerous tumor from growing by using nanoparticles of calcium carbonate, the main ingredient in antacid tablets. The research team is being led by Avik Som, an M.D./Ph.D. student, and Samuel Achilefu, Ph.D., professor of radiology and biochemistry and molecular biophysics.

Using two novel methods, they created nanoparticles that were injected intravenously into a mouse to treat solid tumors. The compound changed the pH (acidity) of the tumor environment from acidic to more alkaline, and kept the cancer from growing.

“Cancer kills because of metastases,” says Som, “and pH of a tumor is heavily correlated with metastasis. Tumors create acidic environments so they can grow.” Just as antacids change the pH in the stomach to decrease the ill effects of acidity, these nanoparticles do that to the tumor environment, thwarting its growth.

But making the nanoparticles is tricky, as Som explains. “If you crush an antacid tablet, you might get it down to particle sizes of one to 10 microns, still 100 times bigger than nanoparticles, which are what’s needed to plug the holes of tumors and their blood vessels.”

Som says the next steps are to determine whether there is any chronic toxic effect with the nanoparticles, and to look at how the nanoparticle delivery system can cooperate with cancer treatments. They know the delivery system can increase pH and prevent metastases in the mouse, but does it affect metastasis formation long term, and can they translate results to larger animals and ultimately to humans? “Right now, it is another tool in our arsenal to boost other treatment modalities; it’s really exciting,” says Som.

IMPROVING RADIATION THERAPY FOR VETS

A new program, headed by Washington University School of Medicine, will monitor quality and safety of radiation therapy at VA health centers nationwide, which serve more than 8 million a year. Dr. Jeff Michalski of Siteman Cancer Center at BarnesJewish Hospital, is heading the initiative, called the Radiation Oncology Practice Assessment Program. It will provide continuous feedback on the progress, quality and safety of each veteran’s cancer therapy.

Approximately 60 percent of cancer patients receive some form of radiation therapy.

In the first year, this program will assess practice across 40 radiation oncology centers in VA hospitals, including Puerto Rico. “One of the questions for assessing each center is: Are patients enrolled in clinical trials? The standards we are developing can help identify circumstances for which clinical trials might be appropriate,” says Michalski.

The first year, they will focus on lung and prostate cancer. The next, head and neck cancers, and then gastrointestinal cancers, which together represent the majority of cancers seen at VA hospitals, he says.

His teams will be doing on-site reviews to measure performance from patient outcome perspectives: Was the treatment effective? VA radiation oncologists will have complete and consistent records of each patient’s therapy and the response to treatment, including survival and tumor recurrence. Michalski says rather than analyzing physician performance, this system focuses on letting doctors see how changes in clinical practice, radiation planning, delivery technology and radiation dose prescription impact the success of the therapy. “The overreaching goal is to make sure our veterans receive consistent quality of care for their radiation oncology, regardless of the VA hospital in which it is performed.”

T&

SMOKING CESSATION THERAPY & DNA

Research is underway at Washington University School of Medicine to help smokers quit by analyzing genetic variations. The 720 participants will be interviewed about their smoking behaviors and provide DNA samples from saliva. “Only about 5 percent of smokers quit successfully without medication and counseling, and people with high-risk genetic markers are less likely to quit on their own,” says Dr. Li-Shiun Chen, assistant professor of psychiatry. She hopes to demonstrate that genetic markers can be matched to the effectiveness of certain smoking cessation therapies.

For smokers, a nicotine receptor marker on chromosome 15 is considered the highrisk marker that helps determine how the brain reacts to nicotine. Smokers with that marker are more likely to keep smoking, and about 30 percent become dependent on it.

They also have higher earlier mortality. “The good news is that people with this high-risk marker are more likely to respond to treatment with nicotine replacement,” Chen says.

Smokers without the marker can do well with lifestyle support and counseling.

The team also is tracking how individuals metabolize nicotine and who responds well to Chantix, which can have a side effect of nausea. The study will look at other markers that can indicate negative reactions, helping sort smoking cessation into gene types.

Participants will be placed randomly into one of three groups, with all receiving seven weeks of counseling. Groups will receive nicotine replacement patches and lozenges, Chantix or an inactive placebo.

CURING HEPATITIS B

Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus can cause liver failure, liver cancer and death. More than 350 million worldwide are chronically infected, yet current treatments are expensive and only keep the virus under control.

With a new $2.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), John Tavis, Ph.D., SLU professor of molecular microbiology and immunology, says his 25-year mission to find a cure is getting close. “We’ve achieved the first stage of laboratory research and have developed a drug using a class of compounds called alpha hydroxy tropolones to help us identify about 35 inhibitors needed to block the viral activity.”

Researchers now need to develop a molecule with minimum toxicity that can be absorbed by the body and last long enough to do the job, ideally in pill form. Tavis says they just completed their first animal studies with positive results. “We hope a course of the drug will provide a cure. However, we also are looking at an intermediate step, combining our drug with an existing one, to boost its effectiveness and make it affordable for long-term maintenance.”

DELAYED V. IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION

If we’re given a choice between having $7 now or being mailed $14 in a week, which are we likely to choose? People who consistently choose the smaller reward now may have a genetic predisposition to do so, and that tendency, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine, is associated with impulsive behaviors: alcohol and drug addiction, risk-taking and even obesity.

Andrey Anokhin, Ph.D., is an associate professor of psychiatry and principal investigator in a recently published twins study. “We studied 310 adolescent identical or fraternal twin pairs and asked them questions about money every two years from age 12 years to 20. The purpose of using twins was to judge the impact of genetic factors on their decisions.”

Researchers reasoned that if only the identical twins had the same response, heredity was a big factor. Similar responses with fraternal twins would indicate the behavior was more linked to a shared environment. What they found was a strong genetic component to the responses.

Says Anokhin, “The evidence is there that these lab measures of choice correlate with real-life variables, and that those who discounted delayed rewards also discounted delayed punishment, like having to deal with the consequences of their decisions. We also found that those traits only got stronger with age.”

After determining the traits are highly inheritable, they sought to identify which genes were involved and found the top three genes that played a role were linked to the brain’s neural receptors associated with mood, depression and addiction.

Further studies will have to be done to confirm the results. The takeaway for now, says Anokhin, is to realize that ages 10 through 12 constitute a sensitive developmental period for forming the ability to appreciate long-term goals. If parents and teachers are aware of this, they can develop educational protocols to help kids delay gratification at these critical points in their development.

[ the routine ] Working out gives me peace of mind. My routine varies, but I usually do full-body weightlifting and 30 minutes of cardio five days a week, either at home or at the gym. My cardio is either on the treadmill, stair stepper or bike; I like to switch it up! On the weekends, I exercise with my husband or kids, which is fun.

To help with my back and neck issues, I’ve started functional training once a week, which focuses on strengthening the core to make sure everything around the spine feels good and doesn’t hurt.

KATHRYN SANSONE IS PROOF that busy moms do have time to stay fit and take care of themselves. As a mom of 10 (ranging in age from 10 to 28), the St. Louis native has remained committed to staying active and promoting a healthy lifestyle among women— she was even backed by Oprah herself!

“Taking care of yourself is not selfish, it’s beneficial,” she says, comparing it to the airline policy of putting on your own oxygen mask before placing one on your child. “As women, we constantly do things for other people and don’t put ourselves as priorities.” To change this mindset, Sansone says you have to treat working out like any other appointment and schedule it on your calendar. “Find the time, whether that means sacrificing sleep to do it in the morning or bringing tennis shoes to work to walk over lunch.”

Sansone credits her parents, who were both into fitness, for initially inspiring her healthy lifestyle. “My dad was a star football player, and I played sports in high school and college,” she says. “There was always a focus on eating healthy, which is important as a family.”

She says her husband Jim got her interested in weightlifting, and she eventually became certified as a personal trainer. Sansone now has only unofficial ‘clients’ (friends who ask for help), but she maintains her certification to stay current on trends and education.

Today, she uses her expertise to inspire busy moms around the world. Her first big exposure came in 2002 when Oprah Winfrey invited Sansone on the show after meeting her in the F16 |

audience; the following year, Oprah and Gayle King interviewed her at home for a Mother’s Day feature for O, The Oprah Magazine. Soon after, she wrote her book, Woman First, Family Always, and started shapeupmom.com to promote various lifestyle products. It was through her work as a spokesperson that she determined there was a need for a protein supplement specifically for women. “As a weightlifter, I’ve always used protein shakes as a meal replacement or a post-workout snack,” she explains. “Women need far more protein than they actually get, especially as they age; it’s great for lean muscle development and it makes you feel fuller faster.” Sansone worked with local company Reliv International to develop GreekGirl Beauty Protein, a nod to her 100-percent Greek heritage. “Growing up, I always made Greek yogurt with my ya-ya that we flavored with honey and vanilla, so I used the same for my product.”

Sansone says the all-natural powder, available on Amazon and at all Supplement Superstores in Missouri and Illinois, also works to enhance a woman’s skin, hair and nails through its nutrients and vitamins. “It’s a holistic approach to what a woman needs to be healthy from the inside out,” she says. “There’s a reason pregnant women glow and look amazing—they get what they need through prenatal vitamins!”

The main advice from Sansone: find a fitness regimen that works for you and take baby steps. “And everything in moderation,” she adds. “That will sustain you for the longest amount of time!”

OLD IS NEW AGAIN. The Essex House has graced Kirkwood’s ‘main street’ since 1939, but it just recently received an award from the town’s Landmarks Commission for an Addition of Merit. Husband-and-wife team Steve and Phoebe Smith (architect and interior designer, respectively) are responsible for the graceful addition, which the commission applauded for its sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood. Indeed, it is hard to tell where ‘old’ ends and ‘new’ begins. Elegant Georgian details are consistent throughout the single-story home in features like the coined brick corners, dentil brick molding and round window, which looks out onto a central courtyard.

“This is my favorite part of the house,” says Phoebe Smith of the newly created urban oasis. It is the heart of the property, a lush, 2,000-square-foot outdoor ‘room’

with beautiful landscaping, a bluestone patio, iron gates and a refurbished antique fountain. “The courtyard unifies the space and creates flow between old and new,” Smith says.

Breezy living continues inside where the living room’s large semicircular window and French doors draw the eye outward. Grand details like barrel-vaulted ceilings, theatrical lighting and a wood-burning fireplace are fitting of the more formal living room. The addition’s light-filled family room with a second fireplace is open to the new kitchen with blisteringly white cabinets and black quartz countertops. Such stark contrast is echoed in the four bathrooms, where fixtures are fashioned from natural materials like white Carrara marble and cocoa-brown maple. There are four bedrooms on the main level, two

with en-suite bathrooms.

“This is a house for someone who loves historical homes with fine architectural detail,” Smith says. While most of the house is on one level, the couple built a basement beneath the addition. “Everyone wants one floor these days, but everyone also wants a basement,” Smith says. The lower level provides an extra bedroom, recreation room and plenty of storage, and brings the total living space to 4,253 square feet.

The house sits on an unusually large lot. The Regency ironwork, brick entry court and wraparound drive mimics a petite estate. There is ample parking, and new landscaping provides both privacy and year-round color.

“This isn’t just any house on a street,” Smith says. “It’s much more special than that.”

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

Over the last two years, we made lots of improvements on the inside of our Ladue home, but have neglected the outside. We are looking for low-maintenance and affordable landscaping tips and other ideas to give our new house more curb appeal. We have been debating about adding outside shutters to the whole front, or just the garage windows, or not at all. We’ve also considered some kind of art to the middle top of the garage between the windows or something in the front circle. Thank you for providing your expertise!

Thanks, —READY TO DIG

DEAR READY TO DIG,

First, I do think your whole house would look better with shutters. The side trim on your windows seems too wide, and I would use the shutters to overlap some of this trim. I also feel that after you add shutters to the garage wing, it won’t need further ornamentation. I would paint the shutters dark green.

Next, I would give the screened porch taller proportions (more in keeping with the style of the house) by adding three white trellises planted with climbing mandevilla.

My final architectural recommendation would be to straighten the angle of the porch’s brick stoop. This would yield more parking and allow the stoop to be styled more in keeping with the home’s architecture.

I would suggest that the landscape close to the home be more formal and interconnected by trimming the left side tree and moving the right side one. The style of the façade is about as formal as it gets, so I think the proposed hedges edged with liriope grass work well together. Toward the street, I would plant a wall of Knockout roses and upgrade the driveway entry with rows of cobblestones. A layer of brown chat gravel rolled into the asphalt will create the feel of a country estate and add charm to the prominent circle drive. All these little changes help make the property feel more like the real thing: a fine Southern Colonial Estate.

Thanks for asking, —HOMEWORK

J. WARNER, ALEXANDRA THORNHILL AND SAM HALL

[ ON THE TOWN with...

j. warner | dielmann sotheby’s international realty by alexa beattie Co-founder of Warner Hall Thornhill of Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, J. Warner actually has two jobs. Since 1983, he has been not only a realtor, but also an international flight attendant for American Airlines. In 33 years, he has clocked thousands of miles and been to hundreds of countries. “Oh my goodness, I’ve been all over the world,” he says, adding that his favorite place to visit is France (he speaks French fluently and owns a home in Provence with husband George), and the most exotic is Hong Kong. In 2015, Warner and his partners, Sam Hall and Alexandra Thornhill, were recognized both as the No.1 team for Dielmann Sotheby’s and in the state of Missouri.

Warner has been an agent at Dielmann Sotheby’s for the past three years.

central west end » WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT?

Cafe Saigon on Euclid Avenue—for the Nem spring rolls and the ginger chicken pot.

WHERE DO YOU GRAB A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE?

I have a preference for Starbucks. I used to live right next door and went nearly every day.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STORE?

Bissinger’s. I have a keen fondness for their chocolate-covered raspberries, which they sell only around this time of year when the fruit is in season.

WHICH PARK/OUTDOOR SPACE DO YOU MOST ENJOY?

Forest Park. I run there almost every day. I particularly love the area around the Grand Basin and Boathouse.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE CENTRAL WEST END?

Without question, the architecture—either French renaissance or French chateauesque.

WHAT SETS THE CENTRAL WEST END APART FROM OTHER AREAS IN ST. LOUIS?

It has so much energy and really is the only remaining authentic, urban neighborhood in the city. It’s a wonderfully cohesive community, and everything is walkable—boutiques, restaurants, grocery stores, bars, even doctors and hospitals.
