CONTENTS SOCIETY THE MUYCO-TOBINS SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AT FOREST PARK last weekend to enjoy a beautiful Sunday. We were particularly eager for the outdoors and interactive activity following what seemed to be a nonstop week of rain. While the park had its usual buzz about it—yoga at the visitors’ center, family units making a beeline for the zoo, tourists on Segways, and a lively brunch crowd at Bixby’s, among others—the vibe most definitely will be kicked up a few notches for this weekend’s Fair Saint Louis. For the second year in a row, Forest Park will be home to ‘America’s Biggest Birthday Party.’ And what a party it will be! Last year, some 250,000 fairgoers experienced entertainment, fanfare and more on Art Hill; and this weekend, the stage is set once again. To get you in the mood, we provide you with a preview of the Veiled Prophet Parade, one of the oldest parades in the nation, and a fair staple since the Fourth of July celebration began in 1981. Our feature begins on p. 46.

CONNIE MITCHELL WE ARE QUITE FORTUNATE THAT OUR house is situated near a public park, so we only need to walk a short distance to watch an outstanding municipal fireworks display. This means we can relax at home, and enjoy the holiday with our friends and neighbors.
BRYAN SCHRAIER IN ADDITION TO CELEBRATING THE birth of our nation, in my family, we celebrate two other birthdays: my mother’s and brother’s. Usually, we barbecue; and in addition to pork steak (we are in St. Louis, after all), they each get one of their favorite treats. Delicious

SOCIE T Y Siteman Cancer Center
SING FOR SITEMAN
HE REVIEWS ARE IN, AND THE sixth annual Sing for Siteman benefit concert was a smashing success in more ways than one! A record number of attendees gathered at John Burroughs’ Performing Arts Center to enjoy lively performances from a roster of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL) artists, including Jonathan Beyer, Susannah Biller, Brandon Cedel, Joyce El-Khoury, Emily Fons, Anthony Kalil, Sydney Mancasola, Christopher Tiesi, and Corinne Winters. Renowned pianist and Sing for Siteman founder Carol Wong provided the musical accompaniment. A dessert-and-wine reception, along with an opportunity to meet and greet the performers, followed the show. Kim Eberlein and Cathy Berges served as the evening’s co-chairs, Teri Griege was the honorary chair, and OTSL artistic director James Robinson was the host. Proceeds from the concert benefit the Siteman Cancer Center’s Discovery Fund, which supports promising cancer research projects.

LIV ING NORTHBOUND TREATMENT SERVICES
Making Recovery a Way of Life BY LISA WATSON
A
PPROXIMATELY 400 PEOPLE DIED FROM a heroin overdose in St. Louis last year, and some 400,000 Missourians are struggling with substance abuse—whether it’s heroin, alcohol, prescription drugs or other drugs. “If we’re honest with ourselves, we probably can all say that we know someone, and we’re affected by this on a personal basis,” says Mike Neatherton, president and CEO of Northbound Treatment Services. Despite how pervasive alcoholism and substance dependency is, many people don’t seek treatment because they’re filled with shame and fear, Neatherton says. “Fear is a huge obstacle to reaching out and asking for help. Sometimes that phone weighs about 1,000 pounds.” Although the American Medical Association defined alcoholism as a disease in 1956, many people still have misconceptions, thinking that it’s a moral failing, or a sign of being weak-willed, he adds. “Unequivocally, this is a disease. We can define
it, we can diagnose it, there are symptoms and it’s treatable.” Treating individuals with drug dependency and getting them to at least one year of continuous sobriety is the mission at Northbound Treatment Services, a program based on the Alcoholics Anonymous model, with locations in Kirkwood and an in-patient facility in Newport Beach, California. The Kirkwood-based program, led by program director Tib Albach, typically includes 12 weeks of intensive treatment, followed by an after-care program that extends a full year. “This is not a disease that goes away; recovery needs to be active and a way of life,” says Val Tripi, referral relations manager at the Kirkwood facility. A key feature of the treatment program is that clients are still living their lives—working or going to school—while they’re in treatment, rather than living in a ‘safe bubble,’ Neatherton says. A recovering alcoholic himself, Neatherton

Good Care and Good Homes for Pets

TRAY RESCUE OF ST. LOUIS founder Randy Grim has seen the worst types of abuse inflicted on animals. “The dogs we rescue—none of them are healthy,” he says. “More than half of them have been shot. We’ve seen them shot, burned, beaten, stabbed, cut...we sadly see them hit by cars.” So when Stray Rescue’s new downtown shelter on Pine Street opened in 2010, a trauma center was on the top of Grim’s priority list. “I needed a place to go in-house to get them help, because time was always of the essence,” he recalls. “It was breaking my heart to rescue a dog and call a vet, and they would say, How about next Thursday?, and I’ve got this dog dying on my lap.” With the help of the nonprofit’s donors, Grim’s hope became a reality, and the Sidney Strum Veterinary Clinic opened along with the shelter’s Pine Street facility. The clinic boasts state-ofthe-art equipment, and a staff of three veterinarians, as well as vet technicians. In addition to

given day, and provides free vet care for families in-need through its Families with Paws program. It wouldn’t have happened, though, without longtime donor and volunteer Barb Strum, Grim notes. “I don’t think she realizes it, but her donation has saved thousands of lives.” Strum, who became involved with Stray Rescue more than 10 years ago, says all of her efforts are to honor the memory of her late husband, Sidney Strum. “My dear husband, who loved animals, would bring home every stray he saw for us to care for, and we would keep them until we found good homes for them,” she says. “He left me with enough money to give whatever I wanted to help animals. I dedicate everything to my husband, because of his love for animals and hate for abusers; and most of all, for giving me the means to care for all these beautiful creatures.” For years, Strum fostered pregnant dogs and their puppies in her house, converting her home’s lower level to accommodate them. “I had space in Continued on page 54

St. Andrew’s
ST. ANDREW’S PHOTO BY JERRY NAUNHEIM JR., RALPH THAMAN JR. PHOTO BY JOE ANGELES
BY AMANDA DAHL
MISSION: Growing older is a privilege, but it certainly isn’t easy for many people. St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors strives not only to make the process a smoother one, it also seeks to reinvigorate the local senior community and give them a sense of renewed purpose. “Our mission is to empower elders and their caregivers through choices and options that foster a vital life,” says president and CEO Mary Alice Ryan, who notes that the organization’s vision centers around creating a happy life for older adults. “We envision a society where elders are respected, productive, secure and fulfilled—and those combined give people a reason to be alive.” HISTORY: St. Andrew’s developed from the collaborative effort of two religious groups, the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri and The Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy, in 1961. A third one, the United Church of Christ, joined the cause in 2014. The three affiliations share a common purpose, which prompted St. Andrew’s to serve as a nonsectarian organization that also is faith-based. In the 50 years since it first opened its doors, St. Andrew’s has expanded its services, finding new ways to better serve seniors and their caregivers. COMMUNITY IMPACT: St. Andrew’s fills a need in the community by establishing and deepening the relationships with whom it serves. To achieve this, it goes directly to the source of assistance most seniors rely upon: the caregiver. “It is very hard on the day-to-day lives of many people who have to be a caregiver while working a full-time job, or living far from home...We find ways to provide them with the information they need to make the best decisions,” says Ryan. The program Caring-Workplace comes into different places of business, and addresses employees through lunch-and-learns and presentations, teaching them about the resources available to caregivers. Currently, 16 companies have utilized
the program, which provides workers with valuable resources free of charge. “Caring for a family member affects productivity, and when an employer recognizes that, it becomes financially healthy for the company to help alleviate that concern,” explains Ryan. The organization also provides seniors with housing, from subsidized rent for low-income elders to market-rate apartments, as well as assistedliving and skilled nursing units. Seniors dependent on Medicare and Medicaid, or veteran benefits, can find suitable housing for themselves alongside those who choose private pay. These options are becoming increasingly valuable to the community as the babyboomer generation sets to retire. “We’re in the midst of a changing world for seniors. As a group, baby boomers have not saved well towards retirement, and they are looking at aging in place. The majority would rather stay where they are, and have services come to them. That will change how our organization looks toward the future,” explains Ryan. In the community, St. Andrew’s has joined STL Village in an attempt to reignite the spirit of being a good neighbor. The Village offers social and educational support in the Central West End, and helps residents by running
WHAT/WHEN/WHERE:
ON THE BOARD: RALPH THAMAN JR. “St. Andrew’s has been a big part of my life. I’ve been working with seniors for years, and now I am one,” says board chair Ralph Thaman Jr. For a quarter of a century, Thaman has supported the senior community alongside St. Andrews; and now, he can appreciate its vision more than ever. “We’re truly interested in seeing seniors live better lives by feeling respected, being productive and finding fulfillment as they age.” One of the ways in which the organization shows gratitude to elders is by honoring individuals at an annual event known as Ageless-Remarkable St. Louisans. The gala welcomes nominations for seniors who remain active and continue to impact the lives of those around them. “It’s become one of
the most important events in our community, and we recognize about 20 seniors a year.” Thaman also speaks highly of the residents, and their community involvement. “Our upcoming golf tournament was actually started by a resident,” he says. The golf tournament is a nine-hole course that takes place on Aug. 3 and 4 at the Four Seasons Country Club. Thaman himself remains a vital part of the community, not only through St. Andrew’s, but as an employee of Washington University, which invited him back even after he retired as the associate vice-chancellor and director of facilities planning and management. He continues to assist the George Warren Brown School of Social Work, and previously served as board chair for Eden Seminary.

errands for them, among other things. Together, they hope to change the tide of the community by encouraging neighbors to watch over each other. In the meantime, St. Andrew’s is at the ready to provide the senior community what it needs to live a fulfilled life. “We serve 8,700 people throughout the year, including 1,200 employees and caregivers.”

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN SHORTS WERE CONSIDERED PASSÉ IN THE fashion world, but that thinking has definitely come to an end. Shorts are the must-have item for summer—and we’re not talking about boring cotton ‘mom’ shorts: Today’s pairs are flowy, have a drawstring, fun print, or are made with a great textured fabric. Plus, they’re great, day or night!
OLD GRINGO COWBOY BOOTS
$200, Vie
REGARDLESS OF YOUR STYLE, EVERYONE NEEDS A PAIR OF GREAT cowboy boots. And, of course, the best place in town for fashionable cowboy boots is Giddy Up Jane in Ladue.

FASHION & BEAUTY PROTECTING COLOR-TREATED HAIR
Let Your Highlights Shine BY ROBYN DEXTER
W
E’RE BORN WITH ONE HAIR COLOR; but many times, we choose to forego our natural roots for a new look or a pickme-up. Hair color has come a long way and is ever-evolving, as far as trends go. James Mitchell of Mitchell James Salon describes one of the latest, hottest trends he’s seeing for color-treated hair: a treatment called Olaplex, tailored for high-lift blondes. Using lightener and peroxide in the hair for foils may cause some degree of breakage, says Mitchell, who describes Olaplex as so-called ‘insurance’ for hair, enabling an overlap of colors, while keeping the integrity of the hair follicle. For instance, when flat-ironing hair, women go over one section multiple times, making it more susceptible to breakage, Mitchell explains. “We’ve had absolutely terrific luck (with Olaplex),” he says. “Within six months, we’ve been able to change a whole head of hair. It’s thickened up.” As for trends, Mitchell says ombrés are “still hot,” with a variety of different ways for them to be done. Also popular is what Mitchell calls “foil on foil,” a technique using two very light colors in one direction, and two other colors in the other direction. “When you do that, you get a bevy of different colors,” he says. “It’s low-maintenance, but requires a longer visit at the salon.” Mitchell believes the most important thing for maintaining hair color is shampoo. “You always want to strive to have a product that’s sodiumchlorate-free, paraben-free and sulfate-free. Gluten-free and vegan are bonuses.” He recommends shampooing hair every other day or even every third day, because shampooing daily can wreak havoc on hair. “Just rinsing on the off-days should be fine for most hair,” he says. Summer and winter can be harsh seasons for any kind of hair. Ren Binder of Renditions Salon
recommends keeping all hair, especially colortreated hair, out of the sun as much as possible in the summertime. “It’s important to wear hats when possible, and keep your hair well-conditioned in the summer,” he says. “If you don’t keep it smooth, it’ll dry out.” For everyday use, Binder recommends Matrix Biolage shampoo and conditioner. For deep conditioning, he suggests GK Hair Taming System deep conditioner. “It can be applied on wet hair, and worn out in the heat in a ponytail or a jaw c l i p,” B i n d e r explains. “Let the product go to work while you lounge poolside.” Dominic Bertani of D o m i n i c Michael Salon notes that while m a ny p e o p l e wouldn’t think to do so, putting sunscreen on your hair can help protect it, as well. “Chlorine and sun are rough on hair. We recommend L’Oreal’s line Vitamino A-OX, which protects from the sun and minimizes its impact,” Bertani says. “If you’re going to get in the pool, saturate your hair with regular, nonchlorinated water first. If you’re in and out of the pool, those chemicals get dried into your hair.” Though many people resort to coloring their hair as they get older, Mitchell says it shouldn’t be the norm. “Grey hair is beautiful,” he says. “We encourage people to leave it uncolored if it’s healthy.”

LIV ING NAIL/CUTICLE HEALTH
A Show of Hands (and Feet)
W
HEN YOU TAKE CARE of your skin, it’s easy to forget about the very tips of your fingers and toes. Yet, your cuticles a n d n a i l s d e s e r ve a s m u c h c a re a n d attention. “Nail and cuticle health are important since the nail plate is nonliving, and can only be healed by new nail growth, which requires about six months for a new nail plate to be replaced,” says Dr. Lawrence Samuels, St. Luke’s Hospital chief of dermatology. Samuels notes that hydration is important to prevent nails from drying out and becoming brittle. On the other hand, too much water softens the nail plate, which is the hard portion of the nail that rests on the soft nail bed underneath. “Over-washing and overuse of hand sanitizers can damage the nail plate, making glove protection when cleaning, etc., important,” he says. Samuels also notes that since nails are made of a tough protein called keratin, consuming enough dietary protein helps nails remain strong. “A well-balanced diet with an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals is important for nail health; however, protein and amino acid supplements or dietary intake is essential,” he says. “There are no studies demonstrating improved nail strength or appearance in normal healthy nails with vitamin or mineral supplements.” SLUCare dermatologist Dr. Nicole Burkemper adds that some basic habits help keep nails healthy and prevent infection. Nails should be kept clean and dry, and toenails should be kept short and clipped straight across. “If your toenails are thick and difficult to cut, soak your feet in warm salt water (1 teaspoon salt per pint of water) for five to 10 minutes,” she says. “After drying your feet, apply a moisturizing cream that contains urea or lactic acid to soften the skin and nails.” Biting or chewing on nails or cuticles can cause damage and increase risk of infection, she says. “Protect your cuticles since cuticles prevent bacteria from entering the skin. Never cut or forcefully push back your cuticles. If you must push back your cuticles, only do so after a shower or bath, and do so gently.” While you may assume your nails and cuticles are all good because you get regular manicures and pedicures, Burkemper warns that these luxuries actually may cause problems. “Manicures and pedicures can disrupt the cuticle, and lead to infection of the skin of the nail,” she says. “Unusual bacterial infections have been linked to nail salons, particularly from the tubs used to soak the feet during pedicures. Acrylic nails (including some shellac and gel nails) can damage

Dr. Burkemper’s Tips for Healthy Mani/Pedis 1. Do not allow your nail technician to cut or forcefully push back your cuticles. If they must push back your cuticles, only allow them to do so gently after soaking. 2. Shave your legs after a pedicure, not before, to avoid nicks in the skin that may increase your risk of infection. 3. If you notice rashes on the skin around the nails, discontinue application of acrylic nails, including some gel and shellac nails. Talk to your nail technician about alternatives to acrylic. 4. Make sure your nail technician has the necessary experience and/or license.
the nail plate itself, leading to weak nails, so it is recommended to give your nails a break every two to three months. Artificial nails are not recommended for people who are prone to fungal infections or have brittle nails. And some people become allergic to acrylic nails. This can cause red, peeling skin around the nails.” Nail problems, including ridges, discoloration
5. Make sure the stations are clean. 6. Make sure the nail technician washes hands between clients. 7. Look for any dirty tools lying around. 8. Ask how the salon cleans their tools—don’t hesitate to bring your own if you would like. 9. Check that the pedicure footbaths and filters are thoroughly disinfected before you use them. 10. If you want to wear bright red or orange polish, prevent discoloration by applying an extra layer of base coat.

HEALTH & WELLNESS CORTICOSTEROIDS
EMERGENCY MEDICINE Acute and Chronic Cure-All? BY CONNIE MITCHELL
W
HILE STEROID USE HAS GOTTEN a bad rap due to athletes who’ve used anabolic steroids to pump up athletic performance; corticosteroids are similar to hormones produced by the adrenal glands, and are used to reduce inflammation in a variety of acute and chronic conditions. “Steroids can be potentially used for any disorder that involves an inflammatory component, the common ones being severe allergies, COPD, asthma, severe laryngitis, and autoimmune disorders and connective tissue diseases like rheumatoid arthritis,” says Dr. Saba Beg, a Washington University rheumatology and internal medicine specialist. “Steroids are also an integral part of many chemotherapy regimens used for the treatment of many cancers.” Steroid use may cause side effects such as bruising of the skin, weight gain, weakening of the skin and bones (osteoporosis), mood changes, muscle weakness, and swelling of the ankles or feet. Therefore, steroids are not usually a first-line treatment. Steroids can be delivered in different ways: as a topical medication, a pill or an injection. How the steroid is administered depends on the patient and the disease. “For example, if a patient has rheumatoid arthritis, you can give an injection at the site to give the patient relief,” says Dr. Piotr Kulikowski, an internist and hospitalist on staff at SSM St. Mary’s Health Center. “We try to give the lowest dose possible that gives relief,” Kulikowski says. “It depends where in the body the inflammation is located. For example, if the patient has asthma, we give an inhaled steroid; if the patient has

Mosby Building Arts
Home, Improved By Brittany Nay
P
ull into the U-shaped, stone paver driveway, and step through a customdesigned portico aglow with a pendant light, and owners Scott and Judy Mosby of Mosby Building Arts are home. When the Mosbys were looking to enhance the beauty and function of the facade of their twostory brick home, they turned to none other than one of their Mosby Building Arts project architects, Brian Yount, to design an entrance makeover. “It is very traditional architecturally, with a hint of Federalist, so we stayed consistent to that with the new design. That’s always a goal in all of our projects—trying to make it look like the new design has always been there,” Yount explains. Yount began meeting with the Mosbys about an exterior remodel late last year. “Judy had lot of ideas from Houzz (a design and home improvement website), as well as from other houses in the neighborhood,” he recalls. The couple considered their busy lifestyle that includes frequent entertaining, and opted for a design that was
both low-maintenance for their family and easily accessible for guests. The property previously featured a straightline driveway onto a busy Glendale street. “They also did not have a covered entry, and they wanted a porch to protect their guests from the elements, as well as a zero-threshold entrance so guests with limited mobility would have no problem entering the home,” Yount explains. After considering multiple designs—featuring masonry, millwork and even an enclosed porch—the couple chose a regal portico with a zero-threshold stone paver walkway that flowed seamlessly into the U-shaped, stone paver driveway. The home’s new exterior is now attractive and accessible, giving guests a warm welcome, Yount says. The Azek portico features low-maintenance moldings, trims and a barrel-vaulted ceiling, with an LED cove light and a suspended pendant light. “The porch was painted to match the existing color scheme on the home’s shutters and siding to tie it

BEHIND THE SCENES: VP PARADE
Saturday in the Park

BY AMANDA DAHL
NSIDE A WAREHOUSE ALONG HIGHWAY 40, a whole world of discovery awaits: Within its walls, every nook and cranny is filled with colorful props and elaborate costumes. Welcome to ‘the den,’ better known as the staging area where the annual Veiled Prophet Parade designs and builds its massive floats for Fair Saint Louis, America’s biggest birthday party. In one section, a dog lies on its back, with one hind leg crossed over the other in a relaxed pose, and a frisbee caught in its mouth. “We call it the lazy dog,” says Kenneth Mallin, grand marshal for the 133rd VP Parade. “It’s Purina’s float, encouraging pet adoption.” The cartoon-like characters evolve over a year of preparation as part of a favorite St. Louis tradition. This year, 18 specialty floats promise a spectacular show, all with one theme in mind: Saturday in the Park, a celebration of city parks, befitting the fair, which will be hosted for the second time in Forest Park. “The first year, we were scared to host in Forest Park. Most of the floats are cartoon embellishments of things you see every day. We wondered what it would be like to see a cartoon tree against a real tree, and if it would lose its value. But in Forest Park, it actually fits in so beautifully. It almost expanded the stages of the floats,” says Mallin. Some of Forest Park’s biggest draws year-round will be represented through individual floats, including the Boathouse and Shakespeare in the Park, where puppeteers will entertain spectators to ‘Brush Up Your Shakespeare’ from Kiss Me, Kate. Even the food trucks receive recognition, drawing attention with a fantastic over-the-top conga line. Leading the way, the first float showcases the symbolic Arch flanked on either side by American flags. “The opening float will honor members of the military, and—I don’t want to give the secret away—but people will see a really poignant moment at the end of that opening act,” says Mallin. Another touching scene can be spotted on the float with a gaggle of bicycles made to look as though they are on a mad dash through the park. Teri Griege, the remarkable Ironman athlete and cancer survivor, sits atop a ride with exaggerated wheels, pedaling inspiration to the tune of Queen’s Bicycle Race. Continued on page 48

Production for the following year begins immediately after the parade ends. With a theme in mind, longtime artistic director Bill Griffin begins the arduous process of examining current assets, and determining which ones stay, go or get repurposed. As an example, ‘the lazy dog’ used to be a cat. Griffin is credited as being the genius behind sculpting floats from styrofoam, which allows for a certain flexibility in creative design, as well as provides a durable base for people to stand upon. With a steady staff of less than 15, the Veiled Prophet Organization relies on thousands of volunteers to be the manpower behind the parade’s preparations. Other can’t-miss highlights in this year’s parade include the ‘I Do, I Do, I Do’ float, where a contest-winning couple will be wedded in a unique ceremony during the procession. Mallin’s own son will appear as ringmaster on the Big Top float along with the Andrew Glover Circus Band, and a sinking pirate ship will surely light up many a child’s eyes. But the floats won’t be the only form of entertainment along the parade route. Giant puppets manned by a single person inside each one will tower over the crowds, walking on stilts and performing handstands. In addition, 14 marching bands from all over the Midwest, including two from Minneapolis, will compete for the coveted

9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM
Lest We Forget
I
T WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN AS GROUND Zero, that hallowed ground in New York City’s lower Manhattan where almost 3,000 perished in the 9/11 attacks. These days, much of the site has been officially designated as the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. It was a tall order to capture a monument of this magnitude, but Israeli architect Michael Arad and California-based landscape architectural firm Peter Walker and Partners did just that with their winning design: Twin pools, each about an acre in size, are set 30-feet deep in the ‘footprints’ of the downed twin towers, stretching out over 8 of the 16 acres at the World Trade Center. Enormous waterfalls, ringed by bronze railing upon which the names of every victim is inscribed, fall into nothingness, symbolizing the loss of life. The display is called Reflecting Absence, and coming upon it, one is staggered at its significance. Every name on the list has a story. The memorial opened to the public on Sept. 12, 2011. The adjacent underground museum debuted in May 2014; and within three months of opening, more than 1 million visitors had been through its doors. It is highly recommended to order tickets online, selecting the earliest time slots in the morning, when the crowds are lighter. One of the many exhibits that is worth your time at the museum is the Victims’ Memorial
STORY AND PHOTOS BY JUDY CROWELL
Quilt. Designed by Wisconsin quilt-maker Connie Daniel, and completed by hundreds of people across America, this 60-foot-long piece is a stunning tribute to the victims and heroes of that infamous day. Around the corner from it, you’ll come upon pictures of all the victims, along with recordings of survivors and first responders—a cavernous hall of people of every walk of life and nationality. The Survivors’ Stairs, a remnant of the stairway that carried many to safety, was the first artifact to be moved into the museum. Rescue workers also have created a monument of art, The Last Column, with inscriptions and mementoes placed on the 36-foot-tall column, which was the final column to be removed from the South Tower. The smashed and twisted front of the fire engine from Ladder Company No. 3, is a knee-buckling reminder of the crew of 11 who helped so many people escape from the North Tower. All 11 crew members paid the ultimate price. Among the most evocative exhibits was created by artist Spencer Finch: Entitled, Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning, it is put together with 2,983 square tiles, one for each victim, and each in a different shade of blue that can be seen from the museum’s many vantage points. The quote from Virgil, No day shall erase you from the memory of time, is forged in steel, and instills in all who come the vow never to forget.

It’s Fourth of July weekend, so we’re all feeling very fireworks and apple pie. If your flag is flying and your cinematic tastes are seeing stripes, along with the stars, here is a list of some of my favorite patriotic movies. Please note these are personal favorites, so if I have left off some of yours, a thousand pardons.
Rocky 1976, Sports drama Sylvester Stallone shines as a down-and-out boxer fighting for a comeback.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington 1939, Drama Jimmy Stewart plays an endearing everyman fighting corruption and greed in Washington, D.C., when he is appointed to the U.S. Senate.
Saving Private Ryan 1998, War drama The film follows the D-Day invasions and a group of soldiers, who go behind enemy lines to rescue a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.
Forrest Gump 1994, Comedy/Drama Tom Hanks took home his second in a pair of back-to-back Oscars (the previous year’s win was for Philadelphia) for his role as a mentally challenged hero who takes on life in his unique way.
Apollo 13 1995, Drama Houston, we have a problem. This is the standup-and-cheer story of the astronauts on the ill-fated Apollo mission and the heroic attempts to get them home. This also is Tom Hanks’ third appearance on the list.
Miracle 2004, Sports drama Kurt Russell shines as coach Herb Brooks in this underrated tale of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.
Glory 1989, War drama Denzel Washington won his first Oscar for his portrayal of a soldier in the first all-black volunteer company in the Civil War.

Patton 1970, War drama George C. Scott refused the Academy Award for his portrayal of the brilliant and controversial general in this stirring biopic. Team America: World Police 2004, Comedy Leave your political correctness at the door for this raunchy animated comedy by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The story centers around a famous actor who is recruited to join an elite anti-terrorism unit—and no one is safe from comic barbs.

Still looking for something to do tomorrow? EdgeWild Restaurant & Winery is hosting its annual outdoor Fourth of July bash beginning at 5 p.m. Executive Chef AARON BAGGETT and his team will prepare a wide selection of food. There also will be drink specials. It’s the perfect venue to kick back and enjoy the City of Chesterfield’s fireworks display, which kicks off at 9:30 p.m. Kudos to Balaban’s, which recently received the highest rating from The World of Fine Wine in its World’s Best Wine Lists 2015. The restaurant also got a three-star rating from Wine Spectator for its list in that magazine’s roster of the world’s best wine lists for 2015. Well done! Congrats to the folks at The Mud House. The Cherokee Street favorite has its Kyoto-style cold brew tonic mentioned in the latest issue of Bon Appetit. Way to represent the Lou!

4Hands Brewing Company is in the process of releasing one of its most popular summer seasonal brews, Passion Fruit Prussia. The beer will be available in all of 4 Hands’ current distribution markets, including Missouri and Illinois. Tiny Bar is now open and serving up fine drinks at 1008 Locust St. downtown. The diminutive watering hole seats only 10, and its inspiration is Eddie Gaedel, who stood 3-foot-7-inches tall, and had just one at-bat for the St. Louis Browns in 1951, wearing the uniform No. 1/8. Juniper chef/owner JOHN PERKINS says he’ll be returning to the kitchen. This, following word that chef CASSY VIRES has left the popular Southern-inspired eatery. No word yet as to what Vires’ next project will be, but we wish her the best of luck!
Kingside Diner
Order Up! BY SIDNEY LEWIS
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A GOOD DINER: A greasy spoon where you can indulge in some simple, but filling fare in comfortable environs. Most of our favorite diners are a bit rough around the edges, you could say—great for hanging out with friends after a late night out on the town, but maybe not the best date night option. The new Kingside Diner in the Central West End, though, combines a full menu of diner favorites in a decidedly classy, upscale environment. The Kingside space bears little trace of former occupant Lester’s Sports Bar. While many of the big screen TVs remain, the decor is understated, with exposed brick, warm woods and plenty of table and booth seating. Add the inviting interior to the classic soul playing overhead, and it makes for a laid-back vibe. The rooftop patio area from the Lester’s days is still open, providing a unique view of the CWE, and there also are plenty of tables out front on the sidewalk for patio aficionados. The restaurant is across the street from the World Chess Hall of Fame, and part of the old dining room area is now outfitted with chess tables. Kingside is the latest project from chef Aaron Tietelbaum of Herbie’s Vintage 72, so you know the offerings will be top-notch. The menu at Kingside is extensive, ranging from burgers and hot and cold sandwiches, to all manner of soups, salads, a rotating selection of daily blue plate specials, and, of course, breakfast all day. While we settled into the menu, we snacked on an order
of Cheddar Drop Biscuits ($5). Thankfully, our order only included two—we could have easily ruined our appetites with these fluffy, flaky dollops of goodness. Instead of just serving some run-of-the-mill sauce, the biscuits come with a deliciously complex chorizo and sage gravy. One of the offerings that particularly caught our fancy is the Flatbreads, Omelets and Burritos. Basically, guests choose from a list of six different combos of ingredients, which are then incorporated into one of the aforementioned dishes. We chose the omelet option ($9; burrito is $9, flatbread is $11), and the No. 4 list of ingredients, which includes green peppers, tomato, chorizo, pepper jack cheese and a green chile salsa. Burritos and omelets are both served with hash browns and toast on the side. This hearty omelet had all of the Southwestern flavors we love, with just enough heat to accent, but not overwhelm. Of course, we had to try the Kingside Slinger ($10). This version of the St. Louis favorite does much honor to the slinger tradition. It features layers of hash browns, fried eggs, pulled pork and chorizo chile, along with a choice of white, wheat or rye toast. We suggest having the eggs cooked over easy and let the yolk just roll down over it all. At Kingside, the portions are plentiful, and the prices are right.

CORTICO STEROIDS continued from page 31 arthritis, we try to give an injection at the site. If the patient’s inflammation is on the skin, we try and give a cream. The goal is to keep the steroid in the area of inflammation as much as possible.” Kulikowski stresses that while steroids can be very effective, they are considered a short-term therapy. “The dose can accumulate in multiple uses, even a cream used in too much or too large of a surface area can cause side effects,” he says. Duration of treatment is dependent on a variety of individual factors
MOSBY continued from page 34 adding that new windows and doors alone can dress up the front of a house. “The architecture of the Mosby home is fairly common in our area, so this design might translate well to others. But of course, we tailor every design to each home and

from continuing to foster dogs, she plans to share her knowledge through a manual she is writing for Stray Rescue’s other volunteers. “She became the expert on pregnant moms, on them giving birth and taking care of puppies,” Grim says. “She’s a wealth of information.” Strum also helps the fundraising efforts by making beaded jewelry that the nonprofit sells. “She not only donated—and we appreciate all our donors— but she volunteers and works to be a part of Stray Rescue,” Grim says. “To me, she’s always been ‘Mama No. 2.’ I can’t remember a time when she wasn’t.”
and should always be directed by a physician. “Also, people who have been taking systemic steroids for more than two weeks should not suddenly stop these medications as the body often gets ‘used to’ these agents, and would therefore need a slow taper in order to safely stop them,” Beg adds. “Furthermore, patients who are using steroids should seek medical attention if they are not feeling well and are concerned about having an infection, as these medications may mask some of the common symptoms of infection like fevers.”
each client’s wishes.” Today’s clients are looking to extend their outdoor living space, be it through an open or enclosed porch, Yount says. “It changes the feel of the home, and gives them a place to relax.” Whether that exterior project is large or small, Mosby can help enhance the face of your home.

NORTHBOUND continued from page 18 the continuum of care and have them tell us what that’s like. They’ll be presented with opportunities like that every day. Say they work at Starbucks, and everyone goes to get a beer after work. They can’t do that, but they have a place to talk about it. It’s a great experience for our clients to know: I can continue to do these things and be sober. I can be a young person working and in college, and I don’t have to drink or use drugs; and as a result, my life is better and I can get a glimpse of hope.” Another unique feature of Northbound’s program is its focus on the whole family unit, Tripi says. For each client recovering from addiction, their family members also have been hurt by the disease, she says. “I’m on my own recovery journey, as well. I grew up with a lot of alcoholism and addiction in my family history. I have learned what it takes for me to recover on an ongoing basis, and to remain healthy. That’s a good part of the reason why I came to work here at Northbound: I know what that focus on the family means, and I’m very passionate about it.” St. Louis is fortunate to have a vibrant recovery community, Tripi says, with some 800 12-step meetings each week in the area. So, for those in need of treatment, she says, the first step to recovery is simple: “Just pick up the phone and call.”
