[ letter from the editor ]

In today’s paper, we have a senior section called Improving with Age, so we wanted to spotlight seniors who are doing something interesting at this stage of their lives. Turns out, we chose people whose after-retirement activities involve enriching the lives of others. I’m guessing that many St. Louisans who are no longer working in their professions are doing the same thing: helping others.

Retirement is a time when you can pretty much do anything you want.

By definition, it implies relaxation and respite from the ardors of raising kids and making money. Yet so many retirees, like the two spotlighted in this issue, have opted to fill a need in their community, which can be anything but relaxing. It often involves committing to a time and place, on a regular basis, and working your patoot off—just ask anyone who’s manned a food pantry for a day!

The other thing it is, however, is soul-satisfying. Giving of yourself is not only selfless—because it’s true that you get at least as much out of it as you put in. Goodness is its own reward, an endorphin high you can’t duplicate any other way. When you think about it, we all can relate to this, because we do it routinely ourselves on some small scale: by waving a waiting car into our lane, taking an ailing friend to lunch or helping a confounded person use the self-service machines at the post office. The more leisurely pace of ‘being retired’ just gives us the chance to step up our kindness game.

cover story

[helping hands Assistance League of St. Louis by becky mollenkamp

School uniforms have been linked to improved attendance and graduation rates, reduced peer pressure and bullying, decreased gang influence, and fewer discipline

issues. Seeing these potential benefits, St. Louis Public Schools and several county districts require uniforms for students in many schools. When parents can’t afford the approved clothing, however, Assistance League of St. Louis steps in. It provides two sets of uniforms to each of more than 3,500 students in 25 area elementary schools each year, and new athletic shoes to more than 2,900 children in 30 schools.

“For students to be able to come to school in a nice, clean uniform and to have tennis shoes to wear, that’s a blessing for those children and their families,” says Jeffrey Rhone, director of family and community engagement for St. Louis Public Schools. “They feel like there’s someone who cares about them and who wants them to be successful. Also, it allows them to not worry about other students having the latest fashions while their parents can’t afford them. They can just focus on learning.”

Operation School Bell and Steps for Success are Assistance League’s two largest community outreach programs. In 27 years, the all-volunteer organization has provided nearly 57,000 children with new school clothing. Between August and January, the Assistance League buses students from selected schools to its offices to measure them for new clothes and shoes. In addition to uniforms, the students go home with a fleece jacket, a book and personal hygiene items like a toothbrush.

“Sometimes it’s the first time they’ve had clothes that actually fit them,” says Jane Harbron, president of Assistance League. “A lot of the children come in with shoes that are two sizes too small for them and their feet are cramped up. They have big smiles when they leave.”

Assistance League’s corps of dedicated volunteers runs three additional programs as well.

Raise Our Self Esteem (ROSE) delivers first-night bags with personal care items to women and children seeking refuge in four area domestic violence shelters. Operation Hug distributes teddy bears to 26 emergency and social service agencies to help children during traumatic events. My Own Fun Stuff provides activity kits to entertain the nearly 25,000 children who visit 15 area hospital emergency rooms each year. “What connects all of our programs is a focus on women and children,” Harbron says.

Without paid staff, Assistance League relies on volunteers to implement all of its programs as well. Members contribute more than 63,000 hours and serve 43,000 people each year. The organization raises funds through its Fantastic Finds resale shop in Creve Coeur and during its annual Imagine! Gala, which will be held this year Nov. 7 at the Doubletree Hotel in Chesterfield.

The event includes silent and live auctions, dinner and musical entertainment. “All of the funds we raise go to women and children in our area through one of our five programs,” Harbron says. “We don’t have expenses for salaries or pensions. We are very well organized, and we’re dedicated to the St. Louis community.”

[ talkof thetowns ] by bill beggs jr.

Let there be … LEDs! And there were.

Are, that is. The after-dark lighting at the top of Art Hill had been fading for years as it was traditional lighting installed in the 1990s, and funding for its upkeep was scarce. But thanks to a donation from Pershing Charitable Trust, Forest Park Forever has installed 128 LED units at ground level along the tree-lined path on either side of the statue of Louis IX, officially Apotheosis of St. Louis. LEDs are all that and a bag of chips that you don’t have to fumble for in the dark, lasting typically 50,000 hours (traditional bulbs burn for only 10,000 hours). According to our math, which didn’t even require a calculator, the lights last five times longer. What’s more, they use 20 percent less energy. And they produce little to no heat, allowing for sealed concrete compartments that help keep the weather and roots out. If we didn’t mention the word ‘efficient’, already ... consider it mentioned. The lighting complements that of Emerson Grand Basin and the Art Museum itself, restoring the statue to its aesthetic position as a central, iconic figure, even after the sun goes down. The switch was flipped on around 8 p.m. on Sept. 10.

chesterfield Teri Griege, Peyton Wennenberg, Heidi Glaus

Peyton Wennenberg, 10, is a fighter.

The young lady wasn’t able to spend the last month of her fourth grade year at Ascension Catholic School in Chesterfield. Rather, she spent most of that time undergoing treatment for leukemia at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Recently, however, Peyton got quite the celebration in her honor at school when she was awarded a ‘Powered By Hope’ medal from Teri Griege, a stage IV colon cancer survivor who has remained a competitive triathlete throughout her treatment. Griege

is president and founder of Powered By Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to offering support to those diagnosed with cancer.

Peyton has been very active raising funds to fight cancer, and especially to support Pedal the Cause, a ride designed to raise awareness of and money for the fight against the disease. The ride is slated for Sept. 26-27 … Funds stay in St. Louis to fund cancer research through the Children’s Discovery Institute at Children’s and the Cancer Frontier Fund, an initiative of Barnes-Jewish Hospital that benefits Siteman Cancer Center. Last year’s ride raised $2.8 million! At any rate, Peyton was center stage as her classmates cheered her on, and many did their part with donations for this year’s Pedal ride. A fringe benefit? Students got to eschew uniforms, dress down and/or wear orange—the cancer ribbon color for leukemia—that day at school.

Ladue cops say the ‘snatching’ of the purse a woman left behind at St. Louis Country Club after she secured her child in the safety seat could be one in a series of similar crimes that have occurred over the past few years in several states. At any rate, not long after the purse went missing, the crook cashed a check for nearly $10,000 at a bank in St. Charles, using the victim’s driver’s license for I.D. and a stolen check from her purse during the illicit transaction. Cops say similar crimes have been committed at schools, parks and country clubs, and suspect this is the same perpetrator who has managed to make off with as much as 200 grand, total. Could this crook be that opportunistic, wily … or just plain lucky? Sheesh! We usually call them knuckleheads around here. But this is a horse of a different color. Smart? Audacious, at least—who walks onto tony CC grounds like these and snatches a purse? Cops have a great surveillance photo from the bank, but we surmise it’s of a woman who’s been made up to look as close as possible to the victim, like that’ll be of much help for anyone with an eye out. Maybe she had time to do some shopping at Plaza Frontenac before heading to the bank? Indeed, she looks well-heeled.

The nerve! That’s fast work to get your hair and your face arranged just so, perhaps using a pair of glasses also found in the purse? Our collective jaws drop. This gives

CENTRAL WEST END

one pause for another reason: Wouldn’t you think that a fingerprint or a strand of hair to test for DNA would be required for a transaction of this size? It also calls to mind D.B. Cooper, the infamous dude who parachuted from a plane with a briefcase full of dough years ago.

Maybe this woman will never be found, either. Perish the thought. At any rate, this case would make a fantastic storyline for any one of the 574 police shows all over the dial, 24/7.

Robert Fishbone, creator of the famed Lindy Squared mural that was a downtown landmark at the Lion Gas building since 1977 until its demolition, has been at it again. He’s painted a mural that illustrates ‘66 Reasons to Love’ St. Louis. Commissioned by local Phillips 66 stations, this 1,200-square-foot work is a vision of the peripatetic Fishbone and his daughter, Liza, and graces

the side of the KDHX Radio building in Grand Center. It was a focal point of the ‘Music at the Intersection’ block party series, where it was dedicated during the third and last installment of this year’s celebration a few weeks ago. It had to be satisfying for Fishbone, who with his late wife Sarah Linquist managed to make the destruction in 1981 of (the first) Lindy Squared into a block party.

But better to celebrate creation than destruction, don’t you think? Fishbone has done everything from devise inflatables fashioned after Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” to promote group drumming as a therapeutic pursuit. But back to Lindy … who’s been lucky, indeed: The creative couple painted a second, scaled-down version for the ill-fated St. Louis Centre.

When that white elephant was demolished, however, this second pixilated image of The Lou’s most famous aviator was preserved. The half-scale replica was taken down in pieces for reinstallment elsewhere, perhaps at the City Museum. Local dreamers see murals as a way to continue our town’s revitalization, perhaps through rugged, removable panels that won’t have to face the ‘headache ball.’ Instead, they could be engineered to be removable and used later on another blank wall, of which we have plenty.

Going to the hospital is no fun, especially for kids. But the experience can be made aesthetically pleasing for them, at least, if not outright whimsical. Pediatric patients are distracted by the colorful metal animal sculptures outside St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and inside by the model choo-choo running overhead. Designers faced myriad challenges with the spaces inside St. Louis Children’s Specialty Care Center in Town & Country, which houses 13 discrete clinics. Arcturis, the interior designer, had a tall order from BJC HealthCare, which requested ‘evidencebased design.’ Children respond more positively to different color palettes, for one thing. But the center serves patients from the very young to those in their teens. So the design approaches needed to be playful enough to capture the imagination of smaller patients and complex enough to appeal to those up to 18 years old. And they need to stay relevant for years to come.

Meanwhile the building, 141,000 square feet, needed to look cohesive despite the variety of clinics it would house. The team integrated functional touches like engaging imagery on the ceilings of treatment areas where patients recline, hopscotch tiling on the floor to support mobility therapies, and graduated levels of privacy glazing at suite entries to protect sensitive eyes during ophthalmology treatments. There are inspirational words and phrases incorporated within the graphics. And baseball themes. But it couldn’t all be day-care-center appropriate. Parents of teens know that eye-rolling is one symptom displayed by patients of that age, who tend to respond negatively to an overdose of cute.

by Patty Hannum

As a weekly columnist, I try to set some

boundaries—like not writing about my son, daughter and husband (the rest of my family is fair game). But things change, and well, I need to unload. This summer I saw my beloved ‘boy’ (he’s like 26) get married, and now I’ve just taken my baby girl to college. I have come undone.

Oh, I have tried to act nonchalant, saying things like, “It is great! Finally, I can get her room cleaned,” “Now we don’t have to eat pasta every night.” and “No more eye rolls or slammed doors!” But on the inside; I keep singing “She’s Gone” by Hall & Oates. If you aren’t familiar with the lyrics, they go something like this: She’s gone. She’s gone. Oh why? Oh why? I better learn how to face it. Yes, it’s a song about a breakup, and for some reason, I feel like my daughter just dumped me.

You see, like many of you, I had a darn-near-perfect kid. She worried me enough so I knew she was testing her boundaries, but not so much that I was in fear 24/7.

She was a total and complete slob, but by the end of the summer, she at least got the dirty dishes into the kitchen. She was snarky, but she still knew how to be polite and respectful (not necessarily to me).

I left my career when my daughter was 2. At times I thought it was the worst decision I ever made.

Full-time motherhood isn’t as rewarding as it looks on TV, but it was the right decision for our family.

I remember her bald little head when she went to pre-school and wondered if she would always need to wear chic hats. I loved our shopping trips with friends when her 5-year-old voice would say, “Yeah, that’s just not going to work on you.” I watched her struggle, succeed, struggle some more and succeed at the end.

And now, she has moved on to the next phase of her life, far enough away, there is no chance I can just drop by (strictly by coincidence). So while I usually write this column at my desk, chuckling at how funny I am, this one is being written on a laptop as I lie on her bed.

That way I can look around at the half-eaten Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup under her desk and the thank-you notes she failed to mail for her graduation presents.

And really, would it have killed her to clean her room just a little bit before she upended my world? So to continue quoting from the song, “I think I’ve got it, I got the strength to carry on.” All I need is to come in her room and look at the mess. Tess’s mess.

It’s been a rough time; for those of you who just sent your last child to college, I urge you to YouTube “She’s Gone” by Hall & Oates. It will make you cry, but I promise once you sing it 80 times, you will feel much better. Good luck to all those wonderful kids we raised. They’re gone, and let’s be honest, in our heart of hearts, we hope they come back only for visits.

Patty loves to hear from readers, especially when she’s sad. email her at phannum@townandstyle.com.

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

by becky mollenkamp

The bells at St. Joseph’s Academy recently rang for the first time since the early 1960s to kick off a yearlong celebration for the school’s 175th anniversary.

Founded and still sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, the Catholic girls’ college preparatory school in Frontenac is among the oldest schools in the metropolitan area.

For the ninth consecutive year, Fortune magazine has named St. Louisan Pam Nicholson, CEO of Enterprise Holdings,

one of the most powerful women in business.

She moved up two spots this year to No. 20 on the list.

Nicholson is the highest-ranking female in the rental car industry.

Last year, a local nonprofit scattered fiberglass cakes decorated by local artists around St. Louis to commemorate the city’s 250th anniversary.

Now you can see the entire collection in photographer Matthew Nolan’s book, 250 Years–252 Cakes: The Definitive St. Louis 250th Anniversary Cake Book (including the cake sponsored by Town & Style, which sat in front of Shaw Park).

suzanne Magee

Exciting news for two local universities, which made U.S. News & World Report’s annual list of best colleges in the nation.

Washington University ranked an impressive No. 15 and Saint Louis University came in at No. 96. The magazine bases its rankings on several indicators of excellence, including first-year student retention and graduation rates.

nanette musgrave

Applications came in from 72 cities and nine countries for this fall’s Prosper Women Entrepreneurs’ Startup Accelerator, which

focuses exclusively on helping women-led startups

in technology, health care and consumer products. Two of this year’s five winners have St. Louis ties: Bandura Systems, run by St. Louis native Suzanne Magee, and EDIS Solutions, run by St. Louis resident Nanette Musgrave. Each will receive mentoring, education and a $50,000 capital investment.

can help.

Professional and discreet since 1988

by becky mollenkamp

The news has been filled with stories about security breaches. How can I defend myself against identity theft and protect my credit score?

Discussing fraud is now part of all our client review meetings, as it’s unfortunately a booming industry. We hear that as many as 5 percent of taxpayers in St. Louis have had a fraudulent tax return filed using their social security number. It even happened to me! There are several things you can do to reduce your risk of becoming a victim of fraud.

When it comes to your computer, change your passwords frequently and consider installing password management software. Store passwords on an external thumb drive and never on the computer itself. Avoid malicious software being placed on your computer or smartphone by not opening email attachments from unknown senders or clicking on pop-ups, and always install updates to your computer software. Beware of phishing emails that ask you to provide personal information. And before disposing of a computer, wipe all of your information.

When shopping, avoid online purchases where you are not familiar with the site. Consider opening a separate credit card for online purchases so it’s easier to cancel if stolen. Avoid storing your credit card information on a retailer’s website in case they are hacked. Closely check your credit card and bank statements each month, looking for small fraudulent charges, as these are often the first step in compromising your credit. Check your credit report and sign up for a credit-monitoring service. Finally, considering having someone like us handle distribution requests from your accounts so we can serve as your watchdog.

”

The chance that someone will assume your identity to open fraudulent bank or credit accounts is increasing as thieves become more sophisticated. The best way to protect your credit is to try to prevent this from happening in the first place. When using your debit card, be alert to your surroundings and choose drive-thru ATMs when possible. If you must use a walk-up ATM, pick one inside a store or in a well-lit, well-trafficked area.

It’s also important to make a list of your credit cards, even those you don’t carry in your wallet, including account numbers and the names and emergency phone numbers of each issuer. Store this in a secure place because you’ll need this information if your cards are ever stolen. Avoid theft by keeping your purse or wallet secure and not letting your cards out of your sight when you use them to pay at a store or restaurant. Also, don’t carry your birth certificate or Social Security card in your wallet. At home, remember to shred pre-approved credit card or loan applications and balance-transfer checks from your credit card company before you throw them in the trash.

Finally, if your wallet or personal identification is stolen, don’t wait to act.

Minimize potential damage by immediately calling the police, your credit card company, your bank, and the three major credit bureaus—Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. If you’re concerned about a potential scam, call the local police.

Q| A friend of mine forwarded an email invitation to me recently but clearly didn’t read the whole chain. Included was a quick and mean-spirited back and forth about whether to invite me to the event at all. Needless to say, I am so embarrassed and hurt, I don’t want to go. In fact, I don’t even want to be friends with these people any more. How can I decline the invitation and end these friendships and let all these horrible people know why?

—bitter in brentwood

Patty | I wouldn’t be so quick to end the friendships. Most friends throw occasional shade at each other.

It is just the way people behave. I see this as a teachable moment for all of us snarky people: re-read your emails before you forward them! Now, assuming these friends didn’t insult your family and only insulted you, just copy and paste that portion of the email into your reply. You should say nothing more when you decline the invitation due to previous commitments. Once you have ‘outed’ these friends, it will clear the air and give them a chance to grovel for forgiveness.

Raschelle | Horrible people — they’re everywhere. They’re in middle schools across America terrorizing

each other; they’re in parks taunting unsuspecting dogs; they’re in neighborhoods keeping kids off their lawns; they’re on the roads flipping us all off. So taking on ‘horrible people’ is a difficult task, and one that will require a lifelong commitment. The ones you’ve described, though, are amateurs. I wouldn’t waste any time on them. Don’t explain, don’t complain and, most of all, don’t let them make you bitter. But, if you just need to throw a little shade of your own, here’s a pro tip: make it quick, keep it untraceable—send them a Snapchat.

Q| My friend is getting divorced and is positively gleeful about it. I’m so offended by her attitude. it’s as if her 15-year marriage meant nothing.

How can I tell her to tone it down a bit and that it’s unbecoming?

—mrs. matrimony

Patty | Oh Miss Manners, I am so glad you are here to tell us how to behave! Let’s get this straight: She is the one going through the divorce and you don’t like how she is acting? Everyone is entitled to handle their emotions any way they want. I am certainly glad you weren’t around me when I was going through a tough time because I find humor in everything, and maybe your friend does too. How do you know her husband and she didn’t have an awful relationship and the best thing for both of them was ending their marriage? If it bothers you that much, I think maybe you should take a break from the friendship because the last thing your friend needs is you telling her how to behave.

Raschelle | You know what’s unbecoming, Mrs. M? Your judginess. Yes, I made up that word, but I think you know what it means. I don’t usually agree with Patty, but I do here. Your friend is entitled to her feelings; maybe she is truly gleeful, maybe she’s hiding real pain and shame behind the laughter and joking, we will never know. But the point is, this is about her—see how I didn’t say ‘you’? It’s her experience and her story, and your job is simply to bear witness and support her. Got it? You don’t need to tell your friend to tone it down; you need to lighten up and remember that while love may be blind, friendship tries not to notice.

Early Childhood Center!

[parent trap girls & the Moody blues by dr. tim jordan We hear a lot about ‘tween/ teen girls being depressed,

anxious, cutting themselves and suffering from eating disorders.

It’s concerning for parents. We want to know what to do, how to help? The best thing we can do is understand what’s happening at this crucial ‘touchpoint,’ or developmental stage.

When anyone, children or adults, goes through a big leap in psychological/emotional development, there is a period just before and during the transition when they tend to fall apart and act out of sorts.

Think kids at ages 2, 6, 12 and when they’re high school and college seniors. For adults it’s the months before you get married or have your first child, midlife crisis time, the empty nest onset and menopause. At these times, people are more stressed, crabby, restless and disjointed.

Adolescent girls experience a crucial transformation as they evolve from being a girl to a woman. This is the archetypal Heroine’s Journey, as in the original fairy tales where a girl, through overcoming challenges and hardships, becomes a loving, wise, powerful woman ready to rule her kingdom.

But recall that this transformation also requires a period of darkness, reflection and solitude, all necessary before the heroine emerges with a raised level of consciousness and a higher sense of self.

All girls need time in their adolescent years to withdraw from the world in order to gather the strength, courage and wisdom to be able to overcome the challenges they will face as adult women. That is the Heroine’s Journey, and it’s what we see when our daughters close themselves off in their rooms or zone out listening to music on their ear buds.

Where we fall short as a culture is in not giving girls sufficient awareness of this process they are undergoing, or enough information, skills and guidance to successfully navigate through the challenges. Our culture tends to emphasize being busy, productive and accomplished, but not how to slow down, get quiet, and go inward to examine what they are feeling and needing, and what path is right for them.

Crucial elements of the Heroine’s Journey that every girl experiences include: going through a metaphorical sleeping period, transforming from the inside-out, getting support from mentors, embracing all parts of herself, and overcoming obstacles and challenges. The significant adults in their lives need to provide guidance and support. That’s the real way we can help them avoid symptoms like depression and cutting.

It’s also the way to guide them as they confidently and securely transform into womanhood.

sports standouts] by karyn meyer

[ fast feet ]

Ursuline junior Kimberlee Sewester, who has been running competitively since the sixth grade, appreciates the individualism of cross country and likes that winning a race or beating a time is based solely on her own performance. “With running, everything depends on me,” she says. “I’m always thinking about the other runners around me during a meet, trying to catch up and pass my competitors. Or if there is a hill or long flat stretch, I focus on my stride and motivate myself mentally.”

Her self-motivation and competitive nature have earned her a spot on the varsity cross country team since freshman year. “It’s based on time instead of grade level,” Sewester explains. “The top seven runners with the fastest times are on varsity.” The season officially started in the beginning of August, and the team, which has 24 girls, already has a couple of meets under its belt. Practices are six days a week, and the coach gives everyone an optional workout on their day off. “We’ve mapped courses on campus or will run in the neighborhoods around Ursuline or at a nearby track,” Sewester says. The meets are scattered throughout St. Louis and are all a 5K course. “I really like the Forest Park and Jefferson Barracks courses,” she notes. “Those meets are always fun. When we’re practicing, I like to run Grant’s Trail.”

Sewester is returning this fall after a notable sophomore year. She met her personal goal of finishing a race in under 21 minutes, and now hopes to beat that by completing a course in under 20. She also was the only one of her teammates to make it to State in Jefferson City. “I was in the top 30 runners at Sectionals, which qualified me for the State meet,” she says. “It was overwhelming and so incredible. There are so many runners present, whether they are competing or just there for support, and lots of coaches and family members. It’s such a positive environment. It was an honor to be there.”

She hopes to return to state with a few of her teammates this year, and by her senior year, she wants everyone on varsity to make it to State. When the season ends, Sewester doesn’t slow down.

She plays guard on the basketball team later in the fall (she’s played since the fourth grade) and in the spring, she runs track. “I do longer distances, like the 400-, 800-, 1600- or 3200-meter races,” she says. “I don’t think I could choose a favorite sport. I wouldn’t want to quit any of them!”

Tyler England, a senior at Christian Brothers College, was busy over the summer getting ready for the fall football season. He practiced four days a week and attended various camps to earn his spot as a starting safety and on most of the special teams units. He also takes a turn playing outside linebacker.

England readily admits he’s super competitive, which shows in his dedication to baseball as well, a sport he’s been playing since he was 4.

“You could throw me into a swimming pool, and I’d give it my all,” he says. “When it’s sports or school, I just like to do the best I can.”

He’s somewhat of a football legacy at CBC. His grandpa, three uncles, three cousins and dad all attended the high school, and five played football. “I’m the last one of the family to go through, and the only one who has played baseball.” He doesn’t favor one sport over the other, probably because he’s had great success in both. Both teams won the state championship last year. “It was an awesome year,” England says. “I was blessed to play with two great groups of guys.”

The 2014 football State title was the first in the history of the school’s program. “Both coaches have been there awhile; my cousins played for them when they made it to the State finals, and I remember watching that game as an eighth-grader. They lost, and my classmates and I vowed to get the title when we were on the team.” It was a lofty goal, and one the team hopes to repeat this season.

“I’m excited to go out every Friday night and put forth our best effort to win,” England says. “Football is all about the momentum leading up to the playoffs.”

He hopes to have similar success on the baseball diamond. “It was fun watching how we grew as a team as the season progressed last year,” England notes. “We had a lot of great seniors, like Matt Vierling, who now is playing at Notre Dame.

field. I sit in front of the back four (the four defenders) and dictate play, so the game runs through me.

I like the responsibility, and I’m always involved so I never get bored on the field.

Q When did the season start?

A We practiced three days a week over the summer and went to Kansas City to play two teams there for ‘friendlies’ to get ready for the season. Official tryouts were at the beginning of August, which is when we started practicing every day. Games go through the end of November.

Q How did your team finish last year?

A We won the State Championship last year, the first ever in our school’s history, so that was really

cool. The entire community was behind us. We played the final game in Kansas City. Llywelyn’s in Webster had a live stream of the game, and it was packed. They replayed the game at school one day too. You have to win Districts, Sectionals and Quarter Finals to make it to the State tournament. If you lose one game, you’re out.

Q Do you have any goals for this year?

A For the team, we just want to win State again.

[ ART OF TRAVEL ]

Did you know you can enjoy local artist displays at our airport?

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport has launched the Lambert Art and Culture Program, which strives to feature more art and cultural works in its terminals through permanent installations and temporary exhibits. This year, four artists have been commissioned to create a custom jewelry collection made out of reclaimed pieces of copper from Lambert’s original terminal roof, which was replaced in 2014. Why not make a point of ‘traveling’ to their exhibit the next time you’re en route somewhere?

The one-of-a-kind commissioned jewelry debuts at the fifth annual Art of Travel event, 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 1 in Terminal B. This year’s theme will celebrate the romance, glamour and mystery of Paris and feature local artists Lisa Colby, Peg Fetter, Adam Foster and Jenny Walker. Co-chairs are Susan Barrett, Kelly Peck and Dorte Probstein.

Be sure to catch the current exhibition, ‘Art of Travel: St. Louis Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design,’ featuring previous jewelry creations from the artists, on display in the Terminal 1 Ticketing Lounge through this fall.

Now, what to wear to the event? The evening will have a French theme, however, I predict most people will be coming after work, so business attire is certainly appropriate.

Cocktail attire also is acceptable. If you want to incorporate the Parisian theme, an easy accessory would be a beret or a chic French-inspired outfit.

For more information about the event and the art and culture program, go to artoftravelstl.com.

[ tricks of the trade ] Q| What do I need to know about successfully wearing the hot fashion trend, flared pants? Are there some do’s and don’ts for wearing them?

A| The flared pant, reminiscent of ‘70s bell bottoms, should be worn with high heels.

Pointy toes are best, or even a platform wedge. The advantage of wearing this silhouette is that it lengthens the legs, creating height and a slim look. What to wear with it? A short/cropped top or fitted jacket, elongated tunic, or belted cardigan. It’s important to have a balanced look from head to toe, especially since the pants are wider below the knee.

joint replacement

by Sara Savat

An estimated 27 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis—an astounding figure. There are things you can do to protect your joints, including maintaining a healthy weight, exercising and avoiding inflammation-causing foods. If you already have joint pain, the good news is many noninvasive therapies might help, such as acupuncture and chiropractic. And if all else fails, there’s a good chance that joint replacement surgery can restore your quality of life.

osteoarthritis

Just like you can’t un-boil an egg, you can’t reverse osteoarthritis.

That’s why it’s so important to protect your joints. Osteoarthritis is a disease that primarily affects cartilage, the tissue that covers the ends of bones and allows bones to glide over each other.

When the top layer breaks down, the bones begin to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion.

A WEIGHTY ISSUE

Maintaining a healthy weight is always important, but it’s especially crucial for joints.

“Excess weight puts a lot of pressure on your joints, particularly the knees and hips,” says Iris Salsman, a weight management coach and owner of Been There Done That. “According to an article published by Harvard Medical School, when you walk across level ground, the force on your knees is the equivalent of 1.5 times your body weight. That means a 200-pound man will put 300 pounds of pressure on his knees with each step. Add an incline, and it’s greater. Losing a few pounds can go a long way toward reducing the pressure on your knees.”

Salsman knows this firsthand. After a hip and knee replacement, she lost 135 pounds and has kept it off. She says she has much more strength, stamina and flexibility now.

Dr. Varsha Rathod, an internist and rheumatologist who focuses on holistic healing at her practice, Preventive Medicine, says excess fat also can cause inflammation, which leads to joint destruction. “There are two ways to put on fat. The first is around the middle, called visceral fat. This is associated with inflammation that we don’t even realize is due to fat and resistance to insulin,” she says. “The second kind is called superficial fat and leads to the pear-shaped body. It’s associated with a tendency to experience gut dysfunction and food sensitivities that cause joint pain, hormonal dysregulation and the inability to detox efficiently. It also results in inflammation.”

FOOD FOR FEELING BETTER

Rathod recommends eating a diet high in anti-inflammatory foods, like vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, lean meats, fish, eggs and herbs. Avoid foods that are high in sugars, refined carbohydrates, salt, and unhealthy fats and oils. She also recommends several supplements and vitamins, including glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and collagen peptides for protecting cartilage. For inflammation, she recommends several natural anti-inflammatories such as turmeric, boswellia, ginger, tart cherry and fish oil.

Finally, vitamin D is good for helping the early pain of osteoarthritis and keeping your bones healthy.

Drinking plenty of water also can help.

“Cartilage is made up of sponge molecules called proteoglycans and glycoaminoglycans, whose main job is to absorb water and swell up, allowing our cartilage to act as a better shock absorber. It can protect us better against injury than thirsty, dehydrated and nearly cracked cartilage,” Rathod says.

A CAUTIONARY TALE

Rathod warns that physicians may write prescriptions for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) to allay pain at the cost of increased joint destruction.

“Long term, these NSAIDS actually accelerate joint destruction by preventing the synthesis of collagen, bone remodeling and more,” she says. Additionally, if you are overweight and have any arthritis pain, high-impact exercises

that involve jumping or running are not for you, Salsman adds. Contact sports also can lead to further joint destruction. Low-impact exercises like swimming or an elliptical are much easier on the joints.

“We cannot prevent arthritis with the standard American diet of animal protein and refined foods, with few vegetables and fruits,” says Rathod. “We can prevent it with a lifestyle shift, by making most of our diet anti-inflammatory, with an emphasis on plantbased and minimally refinined eating.”

post- surgery. “You’re always better off getting the most out of your real joints,” Eller says.

WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?

First and foremost, try eliminating white sugar, white flour and fried foods from your diet for two weeks and see how you feel, advises Eller, because these are known sources of inflammation and the bane of arthritis. “Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory disease, and 90 to 95 percent of inflammation is caused by diet,” she says. Try to reverse inflammation, Eller says, adding that you might also lose a few pounds, which can only help your joints.

Acupuncture, a form of traditional The idea of getting a brand-new knee or hip is appealing; Chinese medicine what 65-year-old wouldn’t be tempted to regain a that aims to correct energy imbalances, full range of motion after years of a bum knee or hip? is another way to try But doctors warn to ‘look before you leap’ when it comes to mitigate the pain to surgical options. They recommend trying conservative, of osteoarthritis. non-invasive therapies first. These won’t cure “Researchers have done brain scans of osteoarthritis, but they may provide pain relief people with arthritis, and delay the need for a joint replacement. and when patients do acupuncture on a site with joint pain, it causes the brain to release LOVE THE HIP YOU’RE WITH “Even routine surgeries are a big deal and endorphins and enkephalins, our body’s natural can have side effects and a long healing time,” pain relievers and anti-inflammatories,” says says Rachel Loeb, D.C., of Clayton Chiropractic Eller. “What’s incredible is that acupuncture Center. “Also, if the cause of the degeneration appears to signal to the brain the exact is improper use, correcting the problem will location of the inflammation. And it can reduce the likelihood of needing to repeat work for all joints, although some have more the replacement surgery or delay it. Trying at complicating factors.”

Then there is movement and manipulation, least one alternative is recommended before which flush out inflammation in the joints and surgery.”

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?

contributing factors. Another movementbased approach is physical therapy, which, if followed up with regular home exercises, can provide lasting relief, Eller adds.

If after trying alternative therapies, osteoarthritis is still limiting your lifestyle, it may be time to consider joint replacement surgery. “Sometimes the joint is too worn, and replacement surgery is the best option for long-term pain relief,” Loeb says. The good news is that experts say most people are happy with their joint replacements and are able to live a normal, active life.

FAILURE IS AN OPTION

There are a number of reasons why a joint replacement may fail, according to Dr. Denis Nam, a Washington University orthopedic surgeon who specializes in joint preservation, resurfacing and replacement. Infection, which occurs in 1 percent of patients, is always the biggest concern because it is difficult to treat and very disruptive to the patient’s life.

The replacement joint must be taken out and replaced with a spacer. The patient is treated with an intravenous antibiotic for at least six weeks before another joint replacement can be put in. Fortunately, this is relatively uncommon.

Failures may also occur because the liner wears out. “Just like the tires on a car, the highly formed Hip and knee replacement surgery are among the top plastic liners used in joint replacements three most successful surgeries in restoring quality can wear down over of life; just ask most people who have done it. time,” Nam says.

Approximately 85 percent of these patients are “The plastics used now are much better extremely pleased with their result. But what about and this is less the other 10-15 percent? For most of them, the results common, but it’s still just didn’t live up to their expectations, and for a potential problem, about 5 percent, something possibly went wrong. especially if the patient puts a lot of

unexpected RESULTS

demands on the joints, like running or jogging.”

“Some patients experience pain when the liner wears out because it decreases the space between the metal pieces, forcing the muscles to provide stability,” explains Dr. Robert Otto, a surgeon with Premier Care Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. It’s important to get regular X-rays to ensure the joint and liner are in good condition and to catch any problems early on, he says.

If the joint becomes dislocated or loosened from the stem and cup, or if the stem fails altogether, it will most likely need to be replaced, Otto says. This is most common around 10 to 15 years post-surgery. Longer stems may be needed to provide extra stability, too. The downside to this is the patient loses more bone with each procedure, and longer stems can limit movement.

DEMAND & RE-SUPPLY

Joint replacement failures are likely to become even more common as people are living longer with their artificial joints. Years ago, this kind of surgery was done almost exclusively on patients 65 years and older.

Today, 50 percent of patients are younger than 65, many in their 40s and 50s, Nam says. There are a number of reasons for this trend, including a rise in obesity and in adult participation in contact sports.

Younger patients not only expect more out of an artificial joint, but they also put more demands on it. “A joint replacement will vastly improve your quality of life, but it’s still an artificial joint,” reminds Nam. “It will not feel like your 20-year-old knee in your prime.

You may have occasional aching and swelling, especially with a knee replacement.”

PROTECT YOUR NEW JOINT

The best thing you can do to protect your joint replacement from prematurely wearing out is to avoid high-impact activities like repetitive running, Otto says. “They’re made to be used, but it’s best to limit yourself to low-impact activities like walking, biking, swimming and hiking,” he advises. And if you’re significantly overweight, losing weight can also improve your outcome.

Building up the supporting muscles is also a good idea. “Muscle strength around the joint is intuitively helpful. It’s hard to say for sure if it will increase the wear, but it will improve patients’ function and make them feel much happier to have a strong core muscle around the joint,” Nam adds.

Surgery Joint Replacement

cover story

Julie Binder and Dr. Thomas Otto of slucare orthopaedics

By age 50, Julie Binder’s rheumatoid and osteoarthritis caused so much

pain in her hips that she couldn’t ride a bicycle without limping for days afterward. “I was on medications and had injections in the hip, but they weren’t helping anymore,” says the Columbia, Illinois, resident. “If I rode, I’d be down for the count for quite a while.” After three years of waiting out the pain, Binder finally sought help from SLUCare Orthopaedics’ joint replacement program. She had one hip replaced in 2012 and the other earlier this year. “The pain was gone immediately,” she says. “I didn’t realize how much energy had gone into coping with pain. Being freed from having to think about my hips was great.”

Binder is among the more than 1 million people who will have a hip or knee replaced this year. Those joints, along with shoulders, are the ones most commonly replaced, but the surgery also is available for smaller joints like ankles, wrists and even knuckles. Replacement surgery is the option of last resort for people suffering from severe joint pain, typically the result of arthritis or an injury, says Dr. Jeff Whiting of SLUCare Orthopaedics’ joint replacement program. “Before undertaking the risks associated with surgery, we want to know we’ve tried every other nonoperative measure, like weight loss, physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medicines. The majority of patients who come to see us in the clinic don’t go on to have a replacement.”

Improvements in arthritis treatments have helped reduce the number of middleaged people needing joint replacements, and the procedure is now most common

among people in their 60s and 70s, Whiting says. “Implants wear better and last longer than ever before,” he notes. “Although we hope they will last 30 years, we try to get patients as old as possible before replacement so the implant can last the rest of their lives.”

These surgeries typically requires a two- to five-day hospital stay, Whiting says.

After surgery, patients use their new joints right away. Physical therapy starts in the hospital and continues for one to three months afterward to improve range of motion and strength. “Recovery times vary by individual,” Whiting says. “It can take anywhere from four to 12 weeks to get back to work and resume normal activities; healing fully can take up to a year.”

Although joint replacement isn’t a quick-and-easy fix, patients who’ve been through it typically think it’s worth the lengthy recovery, he says. “The thing we hear the most from patients is they wish they hadn’t waited so long,” Whiting says. “Most patients feel markedly better, and they can enjoy their lives again.” Just a few months after her second hip replacement, Binder is already able to do many of her favorite pre-arthritis activities, including biking. “I wondered if I could ever ride again, but within two months of my last surgery, I was on my bike.” She is leaving soon for a sixday ride across Mississippi. “It was always a dream trip, but I never thought I would be able to do it. Now that both my hips are working, I have so much more energy to attack life.”

Steve Komorek

The Favorites

Fritto Misto, Lobster Risotto, Spiedini di Gamberi, Grilled Lamb Rib Chops

While operating for 20 years may not be a

landmark among Italian restaurants on The Hill, it’s still an impressive achievement, especially for Hill ‘newcomers’ like Trattoria Marcella. The Komorek brothers opened their little corner spot (Watson Road and Pernod Avenue) 20 years ago, and now it’s not only doubled in size, having expanded into an adjacent space, but it’s also added a big patio and a second location, Mia Sorella, in West County.

The Komoreks have built their success on rustic Italian fare, which Steve Komorek traveled to Italy to study years ago. And the pair has more or less adhered to the classic Italian restaurant recipe for success: generous servings of very tasty food at reasonable prices. In this case, they don’t always throw in the extras—side salads, side pastas and bread— like many places do, but it still works. Both the food and the prices are very appealing.

A starter of Fritto Misto ($11) was a large plateful of flash-fried spinach topped with tender fried calamari and asiago shavings. The spinach came hot and oily, but not overly greasy. The calamari was coated with a light breading and not the least bit oily. The combination, when doused with a few squirts of the accompanying lemon, was unbeatable. Ask for some marinara to dip it in, just to mix things up.

Next up was Lobster Risotto ($23), which you should not miss, even if you prefer to share it as a starter or a side. The rice was nutty (if cooked softer than I’m used to for risotto) and the flavors were intoxicating. The lobster bits, more like chunks, added a rich and buttery taste that complemented the cheeses. Excellent all around.

Spiedini di Gamberi ($19) was seven breaded and grilled shrimp, prepared similarly to shrimp scampi, with garlic, breadcrumbs and oil. They were served

[ food • ŏ • lō • gy ]

[ chef chat ]

Risotto: An Italian rice dish in which short-grain rice, like arborio or carnaroli, is cooked in broth to a creamy consistency, keeping the grains somewhat nutty.

Spiedini: A dish that has beef, chicken or veal breaded, rolled and threaded onto skewers for grilling.

Pannacotta: An Italian dessert in which cream is mixed with gelatin and is cooked and molded into shape after infusing it with liquor or other flavoring. It is often topped with berries or sauce before serving.

[ aftertaste ] » We have made Trattoria Marcella our ‘go-to place’ for celebrations of all sorts. From

appetizers to dessert and everything in between, we’ve been wowed time and again. Top it all off with a friendly, professional staff and, in true St. Louis style, “That’s a winner!”

over some sauteed spinach with a large risotto patty in the center. In this dish, the sauce has the starring role; it was a richly browned tomato sauce with the delicious and distinctive flavor of marsala wine. It would have been perfect, if the shrimp weren’t overdone, robbing them of optimal flavor.

Any place that can serve big, meaty lamb chops for $23 has pretty much won me over. Here, the Grilled Lamb Rib Chops were thick and delicious and came served on a large mound of eggplant risotto. The lamb was cooked exactly as ordered, medium rare, and was perfectly trimmed to yield a little fat for flavor, but not so much that you end up with a mouthful of fat-laden meat.

A dessert of Lemon Pannacotta was rich and flavorful. It was topped with a layer of raspberry coulis that added a little extra sugar to the very lemon-y dish.

Salute and felice anniversario to this local gem.

is a prouD spoNsor of the t&s reachiNg out awarDs

ambitious political drama, All the Way. Robert Schenkkan, the prolific and multi-award-winning playwright, wrote the 2014 Tony winner for ‘Best Play.’ Under the hand of Rep artistic director Steven Wolff, this lightly fictionalized bio of the early days of Lyndon Johnson’s presidency and the passing of the Civil Rights Act possesses an exceptional cast and noteworthy technical properties.

Interestingly, this is one of the few Rep shows I’ve seen that wasn’t polished within an inch of its life at opening—and that served the raw nature of the content extremely well. Johnson was not a polished man, and Brian Dykstra, who plays LBJ, gives the audience all of his brutal bullying and all of his blunt charm. There were a few line bobbles opening night, and I found the lag time in the TV sequences took me out of what was being said. But the concept reminds us how short a time it has been since Americans first invited politics into our living rooms.

What the play truly drives home is how little politics and race relations have changed in 50 years.

While we are currently up to almost 20 percent women and 18 percent minorities in Congress, our politicians are still overwhelmingly old, white men, seen in the play as shades of gray: gray hair, gray suits, gray politics. Passions start out black and white, and then everything muddies to compromises, concessions and conciliations. For politically savvy LBJ, that meant giving up voting rights to get the Civil Rights Act passed and then establishing those rights once he was elected for a full term. For Martin Luther King Jr. (played by Avery Glymph with pensive thoughtfulness, if lacking King’s charisma) and the rest of black America, it was just another indication of how little black America matters to (most) white politicians and how long some changes take. Certainly the lamentation at the funeral of the young, black freedom rider who was murdered in Mississippi—“I am sick and tired of going to the funerals of black men who have been murdered by white men”— rings true still.

A few actors played a single role, but most gave us two to four characters, and special mention must be made of Gary Wayne Barker and Jon Shaver, both of whom produced clear, full, specific work for each of their four personages. Barker’s Judge Smith and Shaver’s George Wallace were particularly affecting. It is always reaffirming to see St. Louis actors on the Rep stage, well represented by Ron Himes, Jerry Vogel, Barker, J. Samuel Davis and Alan Knoll. But, as usual, local women get notoriously short shrift.

All the Way continues through Oct. 4 at the Loretto-Hilton Center.

9/25 – 9/27 Fifth Annual Oktoberfest St. Louis

the classic mobster movies it tries to emulate, Black Mass is a solid entry into the genre. The biopic tells the story of a tenuous real-life alliance between South Boston crime boss James ‘Whitey’ Bulger (Johnny Depp) and FBI Agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton), and it’s as gritty and gruesome as you’d expect from a crime movie about one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.

Primarily set in the 1970s, Black Mass tracks its characters for more than 20 years. Trying to pack so much into just two hours prevents the story from finding much emotional depth. It also leaves some top-notch actors, including Kevin Bacon and Benedict Cumberbatch, without enough to do (and an entire storyline featuring Oscar-nominee Sienna Miller on the cutting-room floor). Despite its shortcomings, it’s an entertaining story about an unbelievable but true event in history.

Perhaps the best reason to see the film is for the award-worthy efforts of its two lead actors. It takes a while to see past Depp’s over-the-top makeup, but his portrayal of the heartless Bulger

Refvem’s recipe was a hit and will make a return appearance on the menu this fall. “It’s nothing to him if someone asks him to try something new or change up the menu,” Refvem says. Hardy has also adapted resident recipes for Belgian leek soup, meatballs and matzo ball soup. “We are there for them to make their lives wonderful,” he says. “If they have suggestions, we put them on the menu.”

Hardy’s team prepares full breakfast, lunch and dinner menus every day at each of The Gatesworth’s three restaurants. Despite the hefty workload, the food-service staff knows most of the 300-plus residents by name, and they’re familiar enough with individual preferences, Hardy says, to make on-the-fly meal modifications. “When you see residents day in and day out, you understand what they like,” he says. “We can do things that we could never do in a restaurant.”

What’s more, the staff isn’t fazed by off-menu orders, according to Refvem. “Where we previously lived in Seattle, you had two or three choices for dinner. Here, you name your own meal. That’s why I call this my cruise ship without the water,” she says.

This kind of personalized service extends beyond the dining room to special events. Resident Sidney Martin recently hosted his 100th birthday party at The Gatesworth. The four-course meal included steak, salmon and vanilla ice cream, which Hardy made as a tribute to Martin’s past as the owner of St. Louis’ popular Velvet Freeze chain. Although the dessert was “really good,” Martin was most impressed by the catering staff’s individualized approach. “I learned in business that you have to please the customer,” he says. “They did a first-class job. My guests couldn’t believe the quality.”

Hardy says quality is his prime directive. “Every vegetable is peeled by hand, we butcher our own meat and fish, and we make our own baked goods from scratch,” he says. “We can compete with any of the top-notch restaurants in town.” Refvem agrees. “Food is an important criteria for where you live, and this place gets an A-plus.” So does Martin, who says The Gatesworth’s food tops anything he’s eaten at other retirement homes. “When you’re 100 years old, you get around quite a bit,” he laughs. “The other places I’ve been are nice, but they don’t come up to the standards of The Gatesworth.”

The Gatesworth, located at One McKnight Place, offers residents three distinctly different restaurants, as well as private dining rooms for parties.

[ the routine ] I attend a stretching class twice a week at The Gatesworth fitness center. I’ve always been into exercise and am under the impression if you don’t use it, you lose it! I get my hair cut and colored every six weeks and my nails done about every three weeks. I also schedule regular massages and facials.

Sherry Wolff has been a resident of The

Gatesworth for more than five years and loves the convenience of having everything just a few steps away, especially the fitness center and salon. An avid swimmer and a former water aerobics instructor, exercise has always been part of her life. She’s had to transition into different activities because of health issues, but she remains committed to staying active—and hopefully getting back in the pool soon. “I do miss water aerobics, but my knees were so bad I didn’t want to get into a swimsuit,” she says.

“I just had a knee replacement, and hopefully I can start my normal schedule again.”

Wolff, 83, had to take a few weeks off while recovering from surgery, but is ready to start up again. Her typical fitness program includes a stretching class twice a week at the fitness center, led by instructors whom she describes as “absolutely wonderful.” She enjoys seeing the same familiar faces every week. “You have to keep moving,” she says. “You just feel better

when you exercise. It may not always feel good while you’re doing it, but it helps in the long run.”

Wolff believes it’s important to take care of yourself on all levels, and she follows her own advice. She gets her hair cut and colored every six weeks, her nails done about every three weeks, and schedules regular massages and facials. “It’s all important! You have to keep moving, take care of your skin and take time for yourself,” she says.

She’s been going to the same stylist at The Gatesworth for a few years and loves the convenience of the salon. “I just make my appointment, walk downstairs and there I am!”

She stays consistent with her beauty routine, requesting the same style and color for her hair, and always choosing a light color for her nails.

Wolff notes that sleep is a big part of her beauty routine, too. “I get lots of sleep,” she says. “I miss a lot of the entertainment here at night because I go to bed so early. I need my beauty rest!”

LABORs of love

by stephanie zeilenga | photos by bill barrett

With retirement comes plenty of time to grow a beloved hobby into something more. That’s just what two local retirees did when they threw themselves wholeheartedly into pursuing their passions.

Arts advocate

Lynn Hamilton found a way to combine her previous careers as the owner of Brentwood Gallery and organizer of social group services for older adults into one venture: Maturity and its Muse. She founded the nonprofit in 2009, just a few years before retiring to work on the venture full-time. Focused on productive aging through the arts, Maturity and its Muse hosts a variety of art-related events around town, often collaborating with local organizations.

The goal of the free programs, which include art exhibits, movie screenings, music performances and interactive experiences, is to inspire and facilitate seniors’ participation in the arts and enhance their quality of life. “The arts can keep you young in many ways,” Hamilton says. Some of the events are geared toward those with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Afterward, caregivers often will call Hamilton and tell her the attendees are still talking about the event. “People with those diseases live in the moment. For it to have been so meaningful that they were able to retain it is wonderful,” she says.

One program geared toward those with Alzheimer’s is Kemper Art Reaches Everyone, now in its fifth year. Run in collaboration with the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University, the program allows participants to interact with the museum’s art and then create a project inspired by it.

Many of the organization’s events appeal to all ages. The very first program put together by Maturity and its Muse was a 2010 Sheldon Art Gallery show featuring dozens of local artists over the age of 70. “Each was selected because they looked at their art as a full-time career,” Hamilton say. “I felt they were wonderful examples for people who want to pursue art but have never tried.”

The nonprofit is a lot of work, but Hamilton loves it. “It’s cool because I’ve been able to combine my previous careers,” she says. “I like seeing people happy, and I like them having a good time.”

IntroducIng

History buff

See how ourS Stand above the reSt

For Steve Weinreich, graves hold the keys to fascinating stories and family histories. The onetime sales rep now is an avid gravestone researcher and genealogist, spending five hours or more each day on cemetery research projects.

His interest in grave research was born from tragedy, after his son David passed away six years ago. David is buried at United Hebrew Cemetery, and Weinreich and his wife often visit. “We like knowing where he is, and I became interested in helping others find family,” he says.

Posting his findings on findagrave.com, a free database maintained by volunteers, Weinreich has added names from hundreds of local graves in an effort to give their lives a voice and inform family members about deceased ancestors they may not be aware of. He’s even documented entire cemeteries, including the old section of the B’nai Amoona Congregation cemetery in U. City, which dates back to 1872. “I was drawn to this one because there are very few new burials there now and the cemetery is seldom visited,” Weinreich says. The documentation of the cemetery’s 800 graves took two years, with Weinreich photographing each grave, then researching the person’s life details, including birth, death and family connections.

The research especially appeals to Weinreich’s love of interesting stories, like the one he discovered about three friends, all around 18 years old, buried side by side in Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery (also in U. City), their grave markers joined at the top by a lintel. “These three boys had traveled to Illinois in 1925 and had an accident,” he explains. “The families buried the friends together.” After posting about them online, Weinreich received a call from one of the boys’ relatives, asking for more information.

Weinreich hopes his posts will help someone discover a piece of their family history, a service he considers a ‘mitzvah,’ or an act of human kindness, for the Jewish community. And he is honoring the deceased by ensuring there is indelible evidence of their lives and deaths. “It brings people’s names forward, and it gives them a written record,” he says.

[T&S home by karyn meyer

Owner Charlotte Edwards appreciates the seclusion of her 1.5-story custom home

on Annas Way. The private lot in an enclave of just 13 homes exudes feelings of country life, but the conveniences of Chesterfield and the surrounding areas are just minutes away.

Edwards and her husband Peter bought the house five years ago after living abroad in Belgium for three years. “We’re not originally from St. Louis,” Edwards explains. “We’ve moved often with my husband’s job and have lived all over the Midwest.” They chose Chesterfield for its manageable commute and attractive home prices. “I looked at Town & Country and Ladue, but we could get a lot more for our money out here,” she says.

listing price | $1,175,000 listing agent | susan hurley of janet mcafee

The house, which features custom molding, millwork and built-ins, an open kitchen and lots of natural light, is spacious enough to host countless guests, something Edwards often took advantage of. “We have three sons, and when one got married here in St. Louis, 22 people stayed at the house! It didn’t feel crowded at all,” she notes. They frequently entertained, inviting 30 or more kids from the church youth group over for pool parties, throwing Christmas parties for friends and family, and even turning the basement into a haunted house.

“The kitchen has amazing space and functions very well,” Edwards says. “It can handle cooking or catering for a large number of people. I did both.” The attached hearth room is where she and her husband spend most of their time. “With the master on the main floor, we live on

one level,” she explains. “All my kids are grown and out of the house, so since the heating and cooling is zoned, we just shut down the other levels unless we have guests.”

The couple recently finished a complete remodel of the master bath, and Edwards says she’s hoping to be able to use the new heated floors before they move. “After doing the bathroom remodel and small maintenance projects throughout the years, we realized how well-built the house is,” she says. “The bones are fantastic, and it’s in great shape.” She will miss the park-like setting of the more than 2.5 acres, noting they love to relax in the screened-in porch. “We see turkey, deer and lots of wildlife,” she says. “It’s so calm and peaceful here. It’s just been a wonderful, tranquil refuge for us.”

homework]

Dear Homework,

I love my Colonial ranch with its large, shady yard. I’ve put two additions out back and have redone the baths. Since my neighborhood is ripe for teardowns, I have more than a few much-larger ‘neighbors.’ If this were your house, how would you modify it to feel more stately or impressive?

Sincerely, — Keeping Up Appearances

Dear keeping up appearances,

Your home sits back well from the street and is nicely framed by mature trees, but (as with many long ranch houses) it doesn’t really have much of an architectural composition. It needs more interest around its center, near the front door.

I would suggest creating a taller ceiling in the entry and living room, raising it above the adjacent wings. By adding a front-facing pediment and arch-topped French doors, the façade now has a dignified centerpiece to balance its generous length.

After To the left of the front door, I would craft an angled, copper-roofed bay window to differentiate it and add some ‘movement’ to the façade. For the final architectural change, I would add a low, brick garden wall with light piers on both ends. This adds depth and importance to the façade and makes the property feel more like an estate. I also would suggest whitewashing the entire elevation to help it stand out from the surrounding forest and hold the eye from a greater distance.

The most important landscape change is widening the driveway at the garden wall, so that guests use the new front door, rather than driving on to the rear turnaround. Filling in the existing planting beds with contrasting shaped plants and adding a clipped evergreen hedge atop the new garden wall complete the picture.

I feel these changes give the home new importance, which allows it to hold its own against inflating neighbors.

Good luck with your improvements, —Homework
