Bellerive Country Club will again welcome the biggest names in golf to St. Louis.

100th PGA Championship is coming to town in August

T

he statement is bold, no question. After all, St. Louis is regarded by many as a “baseball town,” one that has hosted a World Series 19 times. The World Series is kind of a big deal in these parts.

But Mike DeCola, chairman of the 100th PGA Championship, pulls no punches. He anticipates the week of Aug. 6-12 at Bellerive Country Club will be “the greatest sporting event to ever be held in our region.”

If you think that’s zealous, consider DeCola made the statement long before Tiger Woods started playing again. But also consider this: The last time one of golf’s major championships came to town — the 1992 PGA Championship at Bellerive — it shattered sales and attendance records like they were made of glass. There is every reason to expect the PGA of America and Bellerive will go yard again.

Certainly, eyes will be on St. Louis, regionally, nationally and globally. It is entirely possible the event, which includes three days of practice and four days of major championship See BELLERIVE • Page G2

competition, will exceed 200,000 in attendance. Nearly half of the patronage will come from out of town, and oicials have predicted an economic impact of some $100 million.

The major championship footprint is unmistakable. It includes more trucks, trailers, cables, satellite dishes and operations personnel than a movie set. Four thousand volunteers are at the ready, a village of corporate tents is on the rise, and the best players on the planet have the date marked on their calendar.

Last year’s PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina featured 97 of the top 100 in the World Golf Rankings, with 73 international players and 25 countries represented.

Thirty of the 156 players in the field had major championship pedigree; 20 were club pros chasing a University of Maryland-Baltimore County dream.

Before this annual Golf Guide went to print, Woods had returned to competition in a big way, sending television ratings skyrocketing. With fingers crossed, with salt over the shoulder, with sidewalk cracks avoided, there is every reason to expect Woods will be here if healthy.

“We have all seen in the last few weeks that Tiger’s presence is a very positive impact,” DeCola said. “No one has ever seen Tiger play a competitive round of golf in the area, so it will certainly add more excitement than already exists, and we can expect more roars echoing throughout the course.”

That said, St. Louis and Bellerive have a checkered history when it comes to welcoming the game’s No. 1 draw to town. Woods was here for the 2001 WGC-American Express Championship before the events of Tuesday, Sept.

11 canceled the championship. He was scheduled to play in the 2008 FedEx Cup Playoffs-BMW Championship at Bellerive in September. But knee surgery after a U.S. Open in June ended his season.

Considering the track record, considering Woods’ health issues in recent years, it is risky to promote the 42-yearold Woods’ appearance come August.

Nothing is guaranteed. At the same time, his presence would be a bonus, not a game-changer.

If Woods is here, it will be his first PGA appearance in three years and it will advance his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major titles. If he’s not, many other personalities and stories are waiting to be embraced.

Not the least of those might be Jordan Spieth, who is a PGA Championship shy of completing the rare Grand Slam collection of wins in all four major championships. Where better to fill out the foursome than St. Louis, where the Dallas native has extended family, and where South African Gary Player famously completed his Grand Slam by winning the 1965 U.S. Open at Bellerive. Player is one of five to clear the bases with Woods, Nicklaus, Gene Sarazen and Ben Hogan.

The reigning PGA champ, Justin Thomas, will be trying to do something only Woods has done since the championship switched to a stroke-play format in 1958 — that is, win back-to-back titles. Woods has doubled up twice, in 1999-2000 and 2006-07.

Several others have won PGAs in backto-back years, but they did so during the 1916-1957 era, when the championship came to a match-play conclusion. For instance, Walter Hagen won four PGAs in succession from 1924 to 1927.

In that original PGA format, it was not uncommon for matches to go extra holes and participants to play more than 200 holes over seven days. In 1958, with the advent of television, the championship embraced the 72-hole, stroke-play design used by the other major championships.

Adaptation is part of the PGA’s history and will be part of its future. Starting in 2019, the championship will leave its mid-August home on the schedule

and move to May. “Glory’s Last Shot” will now be glory’s second shot on the major championship schedule, coming a few weeks after the Masters Tournament. Since its inception, the PGA has been played in nine diferent months, but it has operated with an August date since 1972, except for 2016, when it was in late July because of the Summer Olympics.

“The golf calendar is dramatically different, especially in the latter portions of the schedule, than it was in the 1970s when our PGA Championship took up residence in August,” PGA of America head Pete Bevacqua said. “We are excited about this move to May. It provides our PGA Championship a strong landing spot on the calendar and a consistent major-championship rhythm that golf fans can embrace.”

That said, historic Bellerive is just the place for a centennial celebration and a memorable sendoff. Like the championship, Bellerive also has undergone change. The club originally was founded as The Field Club in 1897 and located just north of downtown in Normandy. Scotsman Robert Foulis, an apprentice of Old Tom Morris, designed the original ninehole trip.

By 1955, the membership nodded to suburbia’s move west and relocated to the present site in Town and Country.

Renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. helped pick the property and designed the 18-hole course, which opened in 1960. Since that time, Bellerive has emerged as the undisputed home of championship golf in St. Louis.

The still-maturing course hosted the

aforementioned ’65 Open, with 29-year old Player beating Kel Nagle in a playof. Afterward, Player donated his entire winnings, $25,000, to cancer research and junior golf. It was the first U.S. Open scheduled over four days, with an 18hole final on Sunday instead of a 36-hole conclusion on Saturday.

The ’65 Open also was the first time the championship was broadcast in color. To that end, Bellerive oicials ordered the 17th and 18th greens be sprayed emerald green to make sure the course looked good for the cameras.

More recently, there have been some agronomic issues with greens at Bellerive, most prominently in 2016. But DeCola emphasized any problems have been addressed. Put it this way — no one is walking around with paint cans.

“Our grounds crew at Bellerive approached the 2016 situation the same way any of us solve a problem,” DeCola explained. “(They) gather data, analyze the data, find the cause and fix the problem.

“We brought in many experts to review our data and our analysis, and our program for recovery in 2017 worked really well. Anyone who played our course last year would tell you the greens were rolling great. So we’re looking forward to excellent playing conditions throughout the course for our member and guest play this year, as well as the PGA Championship.”

Of course, Bellerive has been the site for several other dynamic championships, and one unforgettable PGA. The club broke St. Louis’ long major championship drought when it staged the 74th PGA Championship in 1992. A 35-yearold Nick Price birdied Nos. 16 and 17 on Sunday and won the title with a 6-under-par 278. Price would go on to win the British Open and the PGA back to back in 1994.

Bouncing back from the ill-fated World Golf Championship event in 2001, the club presented a terrific 2004 U.S. Senior Open, won by personable Peter Jacobsen. Bellerive then played host to the 2008 BMW Championship won by Camilo Villegas, and staged a successful 2013 Senior PGA Championship. Can you say Kohki Idoki three times fast?

Now Bellerive has come to the forefront once more with the 100th PGA Championship. You might debate whether it is “the greatest sporting event ever to be held” in St. Louis. One thing you can’t debate — it will be quite a show.

ON THE WAY BACK Langley’s current success could return him to the PGA Tour

BY DAN O’NEILL Special to the Post-dispatch

Scott Langley had any number of reasons to be delighted with his victory at The Panama Championship on Feb. 4 in Panama City. The Web.com Tour win, after all, was his first PGA Tour-affiliated championship.

Along with it came 112,500 important additional reasons for a family man — $112,500 that is.

Langley became the first to start the week with an above-par round (71) and still go on to win. His six-shot comeback over the final round was a tournament record. And then there is the big picture — his victory was a significant step toward recapturing a PGA Tour playing card.

In early March, Langley followed up with a tie for sixth at the El Bosque Mexico Championship and now sits second on the Web.com Tour money list. At season’s end, the top 25 get PGA Tour playing status for 2018-19, status the former Parkway South High and University of Illinois standout lost after the 2015-16 season.

But among the noteworthy aspects of Langley’s first big win was the distinction of which Langley is particularly proud: He became the first product of The First Tee to win a PGA Tour event. “That means a lot to me,” he acknowledged. “That is really special.”

Langley didn’t grow up with a country club spoon in his mouth. He grew up with a range pass and, with his younger brother Nick, a hankering to spend countless hours pounding balls at the Family Golf Center in Kirkwood. If there was an egg left to crack, the Langley boys were there to take a hack.

“We couldn’t get enough,” said Scott, the 2010 NCAA individual champion as a junior at Illinois. For his part, Nick graduated from those Family Tree roots to play golf for Missouri State and is now a branch manager for Enterprise Rent-A Car in Manhattan, Kan. Part and parcel with the Langleys’ passion for golf was a program that prepared them for the challenges ahead, in golf, in business, in life.

“The First Tee has influenced my career in an extremely positive way,” said Scott Langley, who was born in Barrington, Ill. but moved to St. Louis as a 1-year-old.

“While I had been introduced to golf before I participated in The First Tee, the program revealed to me the many values that are inherent in the game.”

The First Tee was started In 1997. A golf enthusiast, not to mention the 41st

Scott Langley is second on the Web.com Tour with $173,003 in earnings. The top 25 at the end of the season earn their PGA Tour cards.

U.S. president, George H.W. Bush christened the new initiative during a news conference at Central Park in New York, with then-PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and legendary player Tom Watson alongside.

“I believe it will expand interest in the game,” honorary chairman Bush said.

“But more important for me than that is lifting up the life of one kid … and we’ll be lifting up the lives of a lot of kids with this program.”

Since that time, The First Tee claims to have impacted the lives of 6.5 million youngsters. On its website, it lists 1,200 program locations, 3,900 active coaches and 24,000 volunteers. And now, more than 20 years later, it can list one 28-yearold “kid” it lifted to a final-round 65 and a PGA Tour-ailiated championship.

“The First Tee gave me opportunities to learn about confidence, to build and practice it during diferent programs we would do both locally and nationally, at places like The First Tee Open at Pebble Beach,” Langley said.

“The qualifying process alone for Pebble Beach involved golf competitions and sit-down interviews with a panel of many accomplished business people. As a 15-year-old, these are experiences you don’t often find yourself in.

“But The First Tee put me in those situations and gave me the skills to develop

real confidence on and of the golf course through those moments.”

A trophy in his 155th PGA Tour-sanctioned start — 40 on the Web.com Tour — does wonders to reairm that confidence.

Five years ago, Langley had a spectacular debut on the PGA Tour. He was tied for the lead after three rounds of the 2013 Sony Open, finished third and took home a check for $324,800. He was of and running.

The next season, he surpassed $1 million in earnings and finished 77th in the FedEx Cup standings. The PGA Tourplaying job seemed like a snap.

But by the winter of 2016, the lefthander was 167th in the FedEx Cup rankings and no longer PGA Tour qualified. It took three rounds in the 60s at the Web.com Tour Championship last October to secure his spot on the auxiliary circuit this season.

“I’ve definitely had my share of ups and downs, that’s the way this game can be,” said Langley, who lives in Scottsdale, Ariz.,with his wife,Kristy,and 3-year-old daughter, Kennedy.

“But a win is very gratifying because I feel like these struggles I’ve been through have definitely taught me a lot of good things that I might not have learned otherwise.”

Langley still has his work cut out. As mentioned, the top 25 finishers on the

money list advance to the PGA Tour. In addition, the top 25 money finishers in the season-ending Web.com Tour “Finals” — a four-tournament series — also get PGA Tour status. Then there is a “battlefield promotion,” which can come at any point during the season for a player who wins three times on the Web.com Tour.

With his win, Langley has put himself in position to collect one of the three. He is eager to take that next step and put the lessons he’s learned into practice.

“Going through the struggles at times the last couple of years has given me a humility and an appreciation for the opportunity to play golf at a high level that I haven’t always necessarily had,” Langley said. “It’s taught me how to use my time well with being a husband, dad and a pro golfer. I’ve learned to put an equal emphasis on‘quality’as much as‘quantity’when I work.

“I’ve experienced things over the past six years as a pro that you can’t learn aside from simply going through them, Inevitably, these things will help me compete at the highest level I can. I’m excited for all the opportunities that lie ahead. I’m going to keep my head down and keep digging in.”

It’s been more than two years since Post-Dispatch sports columnist Joe Strauss died of leukemia at only 54, and his family is honoring his memory with a golf tournament to benefit Siteman Cancer Center.

The event is set for a shotgun start at noon on April 16 at Westborough Country Club and also features a silent auction.

Lunch is included, and there also will be a cocktail hour (Strauss would have preferred a poker game).

“My mom and I wanted to do something to honor his legacy, and golf was important to him and our family,” his daughter, Alexis, said. “He was a good golfer and got me involved at an early age.”

She said she was about 7 when her dad gave her a memorable lesson. He was riding the course in a cart, but he had her walk the layout so she could “observe the scene to gain a better feel for playing.”

It was a special moment that still resonates with her, as does supporting Siteman.

“We still hold relationships with some of the people there,” said Alexis, a junior at Mizzou who is majoring in accounting and is interested in getting into the analytical end of sports data. “They work so hard and get so little recognition.

We’re fortunate to have one of the top cancer research centers in the nation, so we’re glad to help them.”

Entry fee for the tournament is $600 per foursome.

COMMENTARY

TAKE A MULLIGAN But that wouldn’t be right, would it? Let’s look ahead instead

50.

That’s right, it’s been 50 years since the pride of Belleville, Robert George Goalby, captured the 1968 Masters. Goalby shot a final-round 66 on a fateful Sunday at Augusta, making a 4-footer on 18 to force what he thought was a tie. When Roberto De Vicenzo mistakenly signed for a 66 instead of a 65, Goalby was the winner, vilified by those who suggested he won on a technicality. “All I read about afterward was that I became champion on a scorekeeping error,” Goalby said years later.

“Well, if Roberto had found the error and fixed it, we would have had a (18hole) playof the next day. He wouldn’t have won on Sunday. I think that gets lost in the whole thing. People didn’t want to see past that.” The Great Goalby turns 89 this year.

BY DAN O’NEILL Special to the Post-Dispatch

The Bogeyman is back in these pages to christen yet another golf season in St. Louis. Keeping with tradition, he’ll tee things up by recounting an experience from last summer, a golf outing with Msgr. Norb Ernst of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque parish in South County.

The good father and ol’ Bogey were enjoying a lovely day on the “Old Course” at Ruth Park when they reached the uphill par 3 at No. 4.

“What are you going to use here, Monsignor?” Bogeyman asked.

“Well, I think I’ll take a nice, gentle swing with a 6-iron,” the confident cleric replied. “What about you, my son?”

Well, of course, the Bogeyman doesn’t make such decisions frivolously.

He studied the circumstances, observed a flag location near the front of the green and tossed blades of grass in the air to gauge the wind.

“I’m going to take a full swing with a 7-iron,” he said, “and pray.”

Msgr. Norb had the honor. He teed his ball up, took a smooth practice swing, then struck a majestic 6-iron. The ball settled in the middle of the green, some 18 feet from the flag.

“Well-played, Father,” Bogeyman observed, then snickered. “Of course, at my church, when we let it rip, we go at the flag.”

Bogey then put his tee in the ground, eyed the target and made a big swing with his 7-iron … topping the ball and sending it dribbling 10 yards up the fairway.

There was a pregnant pause,and then …

“I don’t know what church you attend,” Msgr. Norb said. “But at our church, when we pray, we keep our head down.”

And with that, let’s take a look at some numbers for what promises to be a spectacular season of golf in St. Louis.

100.

The 100th playing of the PGA Championship on Aug. 6-12 will be at the home of major championship golf in St. Louis, Bellerive Country Club.

Bellerive hosted the last major in town — the 1992 PGA Championship, won by Nick Price — and was the stage for the 1965 U.S. Open, 2004 U.S. Senior Open, 2008 BMW Championship and 2013 Senior PGA Championship. Holy Khoki Idoki! That’s quite a legacy.

3.

This will be the third time St. Louis has a chance to see Tiger Woods play. He was here for the 2001 American Express Championship, before the 9/11 attacks canceled the event. He was supposed to play in the 2008 BMW, before knee surgery ended his season. Maybe the third time will be a charm.

8.

Eight is a significant number for Washington University women’s golf coach Ellen Port, a longtime proponent of the “Bogeyman Way.” That is, Port has seven USGA titles on her mantel — four U.S. Women’s MidAmateurs and three U.S. Women’s Senior Amateurs. She is one shy of JoAnne Gunderson Carner, who tops the career list with eight. Port will have at least three cracks at that number this year, playing in the first U.S. Senior Women’s Open, the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur and the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur.

14.

The 14th playing of the St. Louis City Championship is set for July 28-29 at Forest Park. It will be the first edition since longtime Forest Park general manager Jef Rafelson departed. Matt Kaiser has taken over as grand poobah of “Fo Po,” while the estimable Mel Rector has succeeded Bart Collida as the SLCC director.

59.

A tradition unlike any other, the Publinx Open tees off for the 59th time on May 6 at Forest Park. As always, the event will feature a cast of some 240 characters, good, bad and ugly. By the time it’s over, there will be winners in amateur, pro and senior categories, and all of those involved in managing the affair will need a stif drink.

90.

Roughly how many minutes it takes to get to Springfield, Ill., and the Web.com Tour’s Lincoln Land Charity Championship, which will take place June 28 to July 1 at Panther Creek Golf Club. Former Purdue standout Adam Schenk used a win at last year’s Lincoln Land to propel himself back to the PGA Tour this season.

The number of years Tower Tee golf facility will have operated when the doors close for good July 15. Roy Lotz opened the South County tees at a former brickyard on Heege Road in 1963. But the property recently was sold to developers who are planning single-family homes for the site. That’s right, Joni Mitchell, they’re going to pave paradise and put up a subdivision. Steve Lotz, the third generation of Lotz men to operate the facility, has plans for a concert and farewell party in early July. Stay tuned.

The St. Louis District Golf Association Championship — now called the Griesedieck Men’s Championship — has been around for 102 years.

In 1918, the championship was won by Stuart Stickney, a member of the American squad that won a silver medal at Glen Echo Country Club in the 1904 Olympics. This summer, the 132 lowest indexes will advance the tradition and compete July 19-22 at Meadowbrook Country Club.

Hard to believe, and Scott Langley’s recent Web.com Tour win notwithstanding, it’s been 20 years since a St. Louis-area player won a PGA Tour championship.

Trevor Dodds remains the last St. Louis resident to ring the bell, capturing the 1998 Greater Greensboro Classic. Currently, St. Louis does not have a fulltime competitor on either the PGA or LPGA tours.

That’s the birthday Hale Irwin celebrates June 3. Irwin has a record 45 Champions victories, to go with his 20 PGA Tour wins. It’s been 28 years since Irwin won his third U.S. Open at Medinah in 1990, at the age of 45. His last top-10 in a full-fledged event was in 2014. The last robust season for Irwin, who still maintains a home in St. Louis, was 2007, when he had a win, two second-place finishes and 10 top-10s. But he’s still at it, playing in eight events last season.

April 23 is when a St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame dinner will recognize two Jays and one Jerry. That is, former PGA Tour players Jay Delsing and Jay Williamson are being inducted,as well as former Bellerive pro and longtime Gateway PGA standout Jerry Tucker. Former standout player and longtime rules oicial Marcella Rose also will be honored. Peter Jacobsen, who won the 2004 Senior Open at Bellerive, and Belleville-raised Jay Haas, who has nine PGA Tour wins and 18 Champions wins, are slated to headline the show.

The number of miles between Lambert Field and Norwood Hills Country Club. That will be advantageous for those coming and leaving on Sept.

22-27 at the 2018 U.S. Women’s MidAmateur. Built in the early 1920s, the former North Hills Country Club has been the site for significant PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and USGA events over the years, including Ben Hogan’s victory in the 1948 PGA Championship. And remember, Port could be gunning for a historic win in her hometown.

The number of PGA Championships that have been conducted as stroke-play competitions since Lionel Hebert beat Dow Finsterwald 3-and-1 in the 39th and last match-play version at Miami Valley Golf Club (Dayton, Ohio) in 1957.

Not to be denied, Finsterwald captured the inaugural stroke play version of the PGA in 1958, in front of a televised audience at Llanerch Country Club in Havertown, Pa.

104.

The age of the 18-hole course at St. Louis Country Club, where qualifying will be held Aug. 20 for the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Norwood Hills. They’ll come out of the woodwork to play the Charles Blair Macdonald-Seth Rayner gem, which is the second under the SLCC flag. The original St. Louis track was a 9-hole layout designed by Scotsman James Foulis and located in the Clayton area.

26.

The number of years the Lewis and Clark Course at the Country Club of St. Albans has been around. On June 6-8, the club plays host to the Metropolitan Open Championship. Last year, DJ Brigman (Albuquerque, N.M.) captured the James S. Manion Trophy and the $25,000 first-place check. On Aug. 2-4, the club also will conduct the 28th playing of the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association Championship.

117.

Normandie Golf Club will celebrate its 117th birthday on Oct. 6. ’Twas on that day in 1901 that an article in the Post-Dispatch announced 20 members tried out the new “Normandy Park” course. Going on 117 years later, the grounds will host the 32nd Normandie Amateur on May 19-20.

LAKE OF THE OZARKS GOLF TRAIL

Lake Valley coming of golden celebration

Lake Valley’s greens are “tilted and tricky.”

HANDOUT PHOTOS

Lake Valley has some generous fairways.

Water comes into play on several holes on the course, which can play over 6,300 yards from the back tees.

Manager calls the course family friendly, afordable

BY DON REED St. Louis Post-dispatch

The Lake of the Ozarks Golf Trail has had a lot going on in the past year.

One of its courses just celebrated a special anniversary, another course was added to the Golf Trail, and there have been some ownership and management changes.

First, the celebration.

Lake Valley Golf & Country Club hit its 50th anniversary in 2017 and had some special events to mark the occasion.

Todd Nicklas, PGA pro and Lake Valley general manager, said the club had a 50th anniversary tournament for its members and also a celebration dinner.

Lake Valley, which Nicklas said is “the Lake’s fun, family friendly, afordable golf course,” is semi-private with 250 members

and also open to the public.

The course itself has an interesting mix of six par 3s, six par 4s and six par 5s.

“That’s one of the unique things about our design,” Nicklas said. “You have some great scoring chances out there, a couple of the par 5s are reachable.”

The course has generous fairways and greens that are “Not really undulating, but tilted and tricky,” Nicklas said.

Nicklas, who is from Jeferson City, has been at Lake Valley since August 2016.

He’s been in the golf business since 1989 except for a period as a teacher in Camdenton.

On-site facilities include a practice green, driving range, tennis court, swimming pool, locker room and bag storage.

The Greenside Bar & Grill serves food and drinks daily. Tee times can be made 30 days in advance, and groups are welcome.

The course is open year-round, weather permitting, and twilight rates are available.

Lake Valley is two miles west of Camdenton off U.S. 54. The website is www.

lakevalleygolf.com.

TAN-TAR-A OWNERSHIP Tan-Tar-A Resort is in the process of rebranding as a Margaritaville property.

Its new name efective March 2019 will be Tan-Tar-A, a Margaritaville Resort.

Driftwood Acquisitions and Development, which has a licensing agreement with Margaritaville Holdings, Jimmy Buffet’s company, acquired Tan-Tar-A in late June 2017.

The lakefront property has two golf courses, The Oaks at 18 holes, and 9-hole Hidden Lakes. The Oaks is one of the lake’s top courses and was designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert Von Hagge.

The website is www.tan-tar-a.com.

FOUR SEASONS CHANGE The Lodge of Four Seasons has made a change, with Troon Golf the new management company as of January.

Troon will oversee operations of the resort as well as its two excellent 18-hole

golf courses: The Cove, a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, and The Ridge, a Ken Kavanaugh layout.

The Lodge of Four Seasons was founded in 1964 by Harold Koplar, father of current owner, Susan (Koplar) Brown.

Their website is www.4seasonsresort. com.

REDFIELD JOINS TRAIL Redfield Golf and Country Club has been added to the Golf Trail. The club is located in Eugene, just minutes from the lake, east of Eldon of of U.S. 54.

The club is semi-private with an 18hole, links-style course with bent grass fairways and six lakes, and it plays to 6,720 yards.

Redfield has a restaurant and bar, plus a lighted driving range open seven days a week and professional instruction.

The website is www.redfieldgolf.com.

NEW EQUIPMENT

Callaway Rogue zooms to the top of best-seller lists

BY TODD HEJNA Special to the Post-Dispatch

No other company hits it farther or straighter than Callaway Golf with this year’s new equipment.

The Rogue drivers and Rogue fairway woods are by far the top-selling clubs in golf.

“It’s early in the year, but the Rogue is outselling everything right now,” said Craig West, retail sales manager at Pro Am Golf.

Epic, last year’s model from Callaway, was also the No. 1-selling driver, which redefined technology with its jailbreak efect.

“We aligned these technologies to amplify what we call the jailbreak efect, which is all about promoting faster ball speed on both center and of-center hits to help golfers get more average distance on nearly every drive,” said Dr. Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of research and development at Callaway Golf.

The Rogue drivers come in three models: Standard, Draw and Sub Zero, all available in lofts of 9, 10.5 and 13.5 degrees and all adjustable. The drivers sell for $500.

Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson and Tom Watson use Rogue drivers.

The Rogue fairway woods come in Standard and Sub Zero models, available in lofts of 13.5, 15, 17 and 19 degrees and sell for $300.

Other new drivers getting attention include TaylorMade M3 and M4 drivers; both come in lofts of 9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees and all are adjustable. The M3 sells for $500 and the M4 sells for $430.

The Cleveland Launcher HB driver ($300) and the Ping G400 driver ($400) are also new drivers getting good reviews.

Sergio Garcia watches a drive during the Dell Technologies Match Play golf tournament on March 24 in Austin, Texas.

Ugly Concrete?

NEW PING IRONS The Ping G700 irons look like a popular new item that just came out. The irons are available 4-iron thru gap wedge and sell for $1,200. Ping hybrids are sold only individually.

“The G700 irons are the most forgiving out of the irons Ping ofers,” West said.

The beautiful and durable Pebblestone/Epoxy System goes on top of your existing concrete!

THE AREAS BELOW THAT ARE STAINED, CRACKED, PITTED, ETC.

COLOR BY VOLVIK Volvik Golf has been promoting its vividly colored golf balls the last few years. They’re available in red, green, orange, pink, yellow and blue.

“It’s definitely trending in that way,” West said. “Even Titleist ofers a yellow golf ball.

Callaway is the only company that ofers a soccer golf ball with its chrome soft version ball.

NEW PUTTERS New putters include the TaylorMade Spider tour mallet and the Odyssey O-Works putter.

“The mallet putters are dominating the market,” West said.

Dustin Johnson, Jason Day and Jon Rahm have the Spider putter in their bags. Pro Am Golf sells the putter for $300.

NOTEBOOK

Wie’s wish is to remain healthy all year Young veteran already has a victory, her irst since 2014 Women’s Open

ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. captain Davis Love III is surrounded by his players as they pose for a picture at the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. The event is returning to Hazeltine in 2028.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Michelle Wie is trying to have fun — and stay healthy.

“My goal is to play the whole year and not to take an extended break during the season,” Wie said. “That would be my whole goal. Keep my organs in my body.”

Organs?

Yep, last August — a week after helping the U.S. win the Solheim Cup — she had her appendix removed after being stricken before the final round of the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.

She has recently fought arthritis in her hands, first with cortisone and now with collagen injections. And also dizziness from a virus.

She is of to a fast start this season, winning the HSBC Women’s World Championship in early March in Singapore for her fifth career victory and first since the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open.

“I’ve working really hard on my putting,” Wie said. “During the offseason, I putt and chip for at least five hours a day. I just put in the time.

It feels good that it’s paying off. ... I think being confident with your putter, it brings a diferent mindset into the game.”

Now 28, she has spent more than half of her life in the spotlight. That has made her health and game struggles more difficult — and made her stronger.

“I think the first down really shocked me. I took it really hard and it wasn’t easy,” Wie said. “Then you start to realize that life doesn’t really happen that way. You start to hear about other people going through injuries and stuf like that. Then you see some people and their life seems so easy. Everyone has their own struggles. I think my struggles have just been very publicized and very public.

“After the first time it gets easier, and then it gets harder and then it gets easier. I just draw strength from knowing that I’ve done it before and I have reached very lows and I’ve pulled myself out of it. I definitely have a lot of confidence from that, just knowing from experience that I can.”

She stands seventh in the player of the year standings and sixth on the money list with $325,414 this year.

“I always think the best is in front of me,” Wie said. “That’s why I practice and work so hard.”

PIONEER HONOREES Amy Alcott, Sandy LaBauve and Susie Maxwell Berning were honored as “Pioneers” at the Founders LPGA tournament early this year, created in recognition of the 13 women who founded the LPGA Tour in 1950. Alcott had 29 victories in her Hall of Fame career, Berning won three U.S. Women’s Open titles, and LaBauve is a teaching professional who founded LPGA-USGA Girls Golf in Phoenix in 1989.

“I think the fact that we have a tournament honoring our founders is so amazing,” Wie said. “Those founders, they sacrificed so much that I could be here up on stage. Just growing the game. Definitely without them I would not have been a professional women’s golfer, so we owe everything to them.”

RYDER CUP REPEAT The Ryder Cup will return to Hazeltine in 2028, the first time a U.S. course will host the showcase event a second time.

The PGA of America announced the decision recently. In 2016 at the layout in Chaska outside Minneapolis, the U.S. beat Europe 17-11 for its first victory in eight years.

The 2016 event featured perfect fall weather, huge galleries and an American victory after three consecutive losses.

This fall’s Ryder Cup is outside Paris, followed by Whistling Straits in Wisconsin in 2020, Rome in 2022, Bethpage on Long Island in New York in 2024 and Olympic Golf Club in San Francisco in 2032. Sites for 2026 and 2030 have not been awarded.

WOODS, THE NATIONAL Tiger Woods says he will play in his Washington-area tournament benefiting his foundation this summer.

It would be his first appearance since 2015.

Woods has won the tournament twice since its inception in 2007. He returned to competitive golf in December and has competed in five PGA Tour events going into the Masters.

The tournament has no sponsor this time and will be called the National. It was most recently won by Kyle Stanley.

Woods’ tournament has moved around since it began. This year it is at TPC Potomac in Potomac, Md., June 25-July 1.

STARSTRUCK Have you looked at the sky since the eclipse? Area groups can get you excited again.

BY VALERIE SCHREMP HAHN / ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

It was a dreary, drizzly night in Ladue. Nobody could see any stars in the sky. • Still, about a dozen parents and kids gathered in a circle in a meeting room at the St. Louis County Library Headquarters to learn about the telescopes they could check out from the library to take home. • Amanda Ismail of Ballwin brought her daughters, Sarah Zakarneh, 7, and Sofia Zakarneh, 6. Back on Aug. 21, they had watched the total solar eclipse together at the girls’ elementary school.

BILL McCLELLAN St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Depending on who does the telling, it was either a property dispute or something more sinister, but there is no doubt that there was bad blood between two families in rural Crawford County about 80 miles southwest of St. Louis.

It ended on a cold January day in 2017 when 66-year-old Arthur Wolverton went to retrieve a Chevy Suburban that his son had gotten stuck on the property line between the Wolvertons’ 70 acres and the 5 acres that belonged to Thomas Hunt and his family.

Wolverton had brought along a tractor to tow the Suburban back to his place.

He was in the process of chaining the Suburban to the tractor when Hunt, who See MCCLELLAN • Page H2

We laughed, in that nervous way when you wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into.

ENTER OUR MOTHER’S DAY CONTEST

Now’s the time to enter. We are accepting entries through April 15. You can upload your photo or essay submission at stltoday.com/contests.

Winners and inalists will be featured in the Mother’s Day edition of the Post-Dispatch.

Two grand prize winners in the look-alikes category will receive dinner for six from our presenting sponsor, Texas de Brazil, and two tickets to the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s “An American in Paris” ilm concert on Mother Day’s weekend. Two grand prize winners in the “motherly love” contest will receive an overnight stay at the Wildwood Hotel.

Mothers and children who look alike have become a favorite Mother’s Day features in our section. • We have also heard from adoptive parents and others who don’t share physical features in common with their children. To broaden the contest, we are adding a new category that is open to every mother, regardless of DNA. Readers can submit a photo that captures motherly love. • But for those who love looking at the look-alike photos, don’t worry, we are keeping that contest, too.

DANNI

Defendant denies that he was pushed to the point of murder MCCLELLAN • FROM H1

was then 68, emerged from his house with an AR-15 and walked resolutely toward Wolverton. Hunt stopped, shouldered his weapon and fired a shot. The bullet smacked into the Suburban. Hunt moved closer and fire again. The bullet tore into Wolverton’s left hip. He went down. Hunt moved closer. He fired a shot into the center of Wolverton’s chest.

Then he walked back to his house and called 911. I just shot my neighbor, he said.

He was charged with murder. The state seemed to have an airtight case. First of all, the shooting was on videotape. The Hunts had installed several motion-activated “game cameras” around their property. One showed Hunt walking out of his back door, doing the shooting and walking back inside.

Also, there was an eyewitness. Michael Duncan, who was then 32, lived in Affton.

His aunt was Wolverton’s daughter. He told police that he sometimes went to the Wolverton’s property to bow hunt. On this particular day, Wolverton had asked him to help

him retrieve the Suburban. He was going to steer it while Wolverton towed it with the tractor. He said he knew nothing about any feud between the families.

Duncan said he was standing along a treeline a little above the Suburban when he saw a man with an assault rifle approaching Wolverton. He said he fled after the second shot. He can be seen running on the videotape.

Finally, there seemed to be evidence of premeditation. The Suburban had gotten stuck on Friday night. On Saturday, Hunt sent a text message to his son stating that he would have his “weapon at the ready” and would not be calling 911 when his tormentors returned to his property.

Because tormentors is what the Wolvertons were, in the Hunts’ telling of the story.

For more than seven months, the Wolvertons had been harassing the Hunts, shining lights into their windows, driving the Suburban onto their property, knocking down trees along the property line, destroying a pond and trying, for reasons supposedly unknown to the Hunts, to drive them out.

The Wolvertons declined to talk with me.

When the Suburban got stuck on the property line two nights before the shooting, Hunt had called 911 and reported that Art’s son, Mickey Joe Wolverton, then 45, had been driving on his property and tearing up the grass in the backyard before getting the vehicle stuck. A sheriff’s deputy went to the Wolverton house. He reported that Mickey Joe had bloodshot eyes and admitted drinking beer and smoking pot. The deputy

Family bonding on strenuous hike SULTAN • FROM H1

National Park. We were visiting in the early spring, when the snow melt can frequently cause the water level to rise too high, shutting it down for hikers. The temperature was in the 30s the morning we headed out. We had rented canyoneering shoes, Neoprene socks and walking sticks in addition to our wetsuits to keep us relatively dry and warm.

I had deliberately chosen a family activity in which I knew neither child would be able to look at their phones for eight solid hours.

The river demands your full attention. As a parent of teens, you relish the phone-free hours on a vacation.

Before we left there was a heated debate about whose phone would be carried as tribute in the waterproof bag, along with our snacks and water bottles. The youngest child, with the oldest phone, finally agreed to let us stow his after we promised to replace it with an upgraded version if his phone became an unintended casualty of the adventure.

I also wanted to take us out of our comfort zones. I knew the hike would become physically uncomfortable at times and would

require some persistence to reach the point we wanted before turning back around.

We would have to slog through the river together.

Around 9 a.m., the cold water was flowing fast, around 126 cubic feet per second, which meant it would be a challenging hike upstream. When the water flow is above 150

confiscated the pot and charged Mickey Joe with trespassing and possession of marijuana.

The case against Hunt went to trial two weeks ago.

The state’s case was ably presented by Michael Hayes, a prosecutor on loan from St. Louis County. He had the videotape of the shooting; forensic evidence showing that the final shot had a downward trajectory, indicating that Wolverton was on his knees when he was hit in the chest; an eyewitness who was, I thought, very credible; and Hunt’s text message, which seemed to go toward premeditation.

Scott Rosenblum was the defense attorney. He told me he had been referred to the case by one of Hunt’s relatives who is in law enforcement.

Rosenblum built his case around what he called an eight-month “reign of terror.”

Hunt’s relatives and friends testified to the harassment.

Hunt testified. He seemed like a good man, but one who had been pushed too hard and too far and had finally been pushed to the point of murder. He denied that. He maintained that he had never been angry at Art Wolverton. He said his first shot had been a warning shot, and that Wolverton had then threatened to kill him and had reached toward his pocket for what Hunt assumed to be a gun.

(That might be reasonable. I later asked Sheriff Darin Layman about that, and he said,“This is Crawford County. Everybody has a weapon.”)

cfs, the river becomes impassable. In the summer, the flow is around 50 to 60 cfs. On this day, the water was cloudy with silt. It had been closed to hikers due to flash flooding the day before, and the chocolate brown water churned around our legs. Water seeped into our shoes and squished between the layers of socks.

The river bottom is uneven and covered in large rocks. I had read some descriptions beforehand that said it’s like walking on wet bowling balls. Not all the rocks are that smooth, however. It took us a while to get our footing, especially since we were laboring against a strong current.

The river’s depth is also unpredictable.

The water can shift from mid-calf to chest high within a few feet. We relied on our 5-foot-tall walking sticks to keep our balance, and even then, our youngest fell a few times. We were surrounded by vermilion sandstone mountains, their summits towering more than 1,000 feet high. We passed waterfalls and patches of vegetation. It takes about an hour to hike one mile.

We had 2.5 miles to go before we got to the part where the 2,000 foot vertical walls narrow to about 20 feet across. Along the way, we crossed the rushing river several times.

At one point, I realized what an apt metaphor this struggle through the water was for the journey of raising teens. We were trying to keep a watchful eye on our kids to bail them out if they fell, but we had to let them

Hunt said he had meant the second shot to disable Wolverton, but “it didn’t faze him.” The final shot was meant “to terminate the threat.” He also testified that the text message referred to shots that had been fired toward the Hunt house the day after the Suburban had gotten stuck.

In the state’s closing argument, Hayes said it was not reasonable to think that an unarmed man would threaten the life of a man advancing upon him with an assault rifle. He pointed out that all the evidence contradicted Hunt’s testimony. He conceded that the Wolvertons might have acted badly, but this is not a property damage case, he said. He suggested that any bad behavior on the part of the Wolvertons was not justification for murder. If anything, it’s a motive, he said.

Rosenblum spoke for 45 minutes without notes. His cadence seldom changed, but his tone sometimes did. Soft one moment, loud the next. But mostly soft. He mixed facts with assertions, weaving them together until they seemed indistinguishable. He waved away the credibility of the eyewitness because he had said something in a deposition that he didn’t say in trial, while Hunt’s story, Rosenblum said, had never changed.

He was on his own property, Rosenblum said. He feared for his life.

It took the jurors about two hours to acquit Hunt.

find their own footing. It was hard to stay balanced.It felt a bit dangerous,and we were all unsteady and fighting against a stronger force at times. Yet when we stopped to look around, it was glorious. The heights and depths, the colors and the light interplayed to create an intensity and serenity.

And we were in it together.

Now, of course, we did not last the entire time without a flare-up between mother and teenage daughter. It’s not a river of miracles, after all. I know there was a period of cross words and angry sloshing, although for the life of me, I cannot remember what triggered it. That’s an advantage of being in a space of other-worldly splendor. Families get distracted and tend to lose track of their personal grievances with one another.

The disagreement sorted itself out as we moved downstream.

On the shuttle ride back, we were all exhausted. There was a quiet closeness, that bond that develops when you’ve struggled alongside someone to experience something special together.

The flash floods didn’t get us.

But the river did.

AT HOME WITH RACHEL AND JOHN HORAN

BACK HOME AGAIN Furniture its just right after couple move back in to her childhood home in U. City

BY JIM WINNERMAN Special to the Post-dispatch

Rachel Horan is proving the adage“you can never go home again”is false.Not only have she and her husband purchased the home she grew up in,but she is raising their 3-year old son in her own childhood bedroom.“It feels strange after not living here for 20 years, but it is so satisfying to see a new generation of my family blossom in the same house I moved into when I was 1,” she says.

The move“home”was never intended.“We were living in‘charmless new construction’in the county, and it just did not feel right,” John says.Part of the problem was the couple’s love for early 1900s antiques,an inventory of family heirloom furniture and a collection of crystal chandeliers also dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s.“None of our furniture seemed to look good in our previous home.”

In early 2017,Rachel’s mother was still living in her three-story childhood home and told her of the decision to downsize to a single story condo in Clayton.Rachel knew the residence had been exceptionally wellmaintained,so she and her husband purchased it.

Interestingly,with the five chandeliers installed and their furniture in place,it appears as it might have looked when the first owners moved in in 1917.

“Everything just fits and looks better here,” John says.

Rooms are painted in a variety of subtle earth tones, all complemented with an abundance of brilliant white floor and ceiling wood trim.

Doors have wide side surrounds,and all are topped with pediments.Floors are original wood,and many are accentuated with a rug.

VARICOSE VEINS KEEPING YOU COVERED UP? SLUCare team can help Whether you suffer from symptoms caused by varicose veins or just don’t like the sight of them, SLUCare vascular surgeons are available to help you look and feel better.

Large, swollen varicose veins can make people feel self-conscious about baring their legs in shorts or skirts. But they can also cause signiicant discomfort and put a damper on your quality of life.

“Varicose veins are not only cosmetically unappealing, but they can also be painful and affect people’s daily lives,” says Dr. Matthew Smeds, a SLUCare vascular surgeon who practices at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. “When the end of the day comes around and your

help for varicose veins — and their less-symptomatic but also troublesome counterpart, spider veins. More importantly, it provides the specialists who can best treat them.

“The difference between us and vein centers is we’re all board-certiied vascular surgeons,” Dr. Smeds says.

“This is our specialty.”

Varicose and spider veins are an ageold problem for both men and women. But the good news is that treatments are ever-improving.

Today’s technology allows doctors to use minimally invasive procedures to treat vein incompetencies without surgery. The result is less downtime and less pain.

Varicose veins can be treated with endovenous ablation, which uses heat from laser or radiofrequency energy to destroy the bad vein, sending blood lowing through good veins.

This procedure typically requires only small incisions to insert a tiny catheter into the vein.

“In the old days you used to rip these veins out surgically,” Dr. Smeds says.

Pictured: SLUCare specialists treating a patient for varicose veins.

legs are hurting and you can’t do the things you want to do, it makes you less productive.”

Dr. Smeds is one of several SLUCare specialists offering the latest treatments for varicose veins and other vascular problems at a new ofice in the University Tower in Richmond Heights.

“THIS IS OUR SPECIALTY” The new ofice is a convenient and central location for anyone seeking

surrealistic work of art.

The guest bedroom,also on the third floor,still has the wallpaper she helped her mom select when Rachel was in high school.Remaining on the wall is a bell that would summon live-in help who used the room early in the 1900s.It was once connected to buttons on the floor in the dining room and in the second-floor hall.

The Horans have some changes planned.“The kitchen is due for another renovation,” Rachel says, noting it has already undergone several updates.

A spare bedroom on the second floor that adjoins the master will be converted into a new master bath and walk-in closet.“Really, though,we just want to maintain the character of the house as it is,as much as possible,and not change the floor plan.”

“We love it here,” Rachel remarks.“The neighborhood is alive and vibrant, with lots of children,and residents are very engaged in the neighborhood.”

For Rachel’s mom,seeing her daughter move into the family home has been gratifying.“She does not need to drive by and wonder what changes strangers are making inside,and she sees how happy we are here,“ Rachel says.“She feels good about us making new memories in the home.”

Spider veins — those tiny, purple blood vessels that appear just under the skin on legs and other areas of the body — typically are only a cosmetic concern and therefore not covered by insurance. Doctors treat them by injecting a solution that causes them to collapse and disappear.

Artwork is a pleasing, eclectic mix of European oils,Matisse prints and a gallery of family photos dating back to early 1900 that hang on the wall next to the stairs to the second floor.

Small,intricate sculptures of jade and ivory heirlooms rest atop the mantle of the first floor fireplace.

The immaculate,allbrick Tudor home has six bedrooms and 3,200 square feet,but the floor plan makes the home feel cozy.

Sitting rooms off the dining room and master bedroom offer quiet nooks for relaxing and reading.A screened-in porch off the kitchen overlooks the lot-and-a-half.

A deck on top of the porch is yet another secluded hideaway.“In the summer the sensation is of being in a treehouse,” Rachel says.

With VenaSeal™, doctors inject medical glue into the vein to close it. This avoids the use of any heat source and is a single needle stick, Dr. Smeds says.

“It’s also well tolerated and sometimes patients don’t need compression stockings afterwards, as they do with other procedures,” he says. The procedure is FDA-approved, but not all insurance companies are covering it yet.

A silver lazy-susan, a family heirloom, adorns the formal dining room table.

ASTRONOMY • FROM H1

Ismail said that since then, the girls had taken more notice of the moon, pointing out when it’s full or a crescent. “This is really cool,” she said of the telescopes and planned to check one out for clearer skies.

For the months leading up to the eclipse, area astronomy clubs and those running observatories and planetariums worked to educate the public about what they would see in the sky on eclipse day. But what has happened since? Clubs and educators say they have seen some bump in interest since then, and they continue to welcome anyone who wants to learn more.

For Don Ficken and the members of the St. Louis Astronomical Society, who teach the classes at the libraries, they were so busy in the months leading up to the eclipse that they’ve used the months since to tend to the telescopes in the library telescope program, which they started in 2014.

Patrons can check out quality, 4.5-inch telescopes from the library. The club keeps them in working order, cleaning the mirrors and making fixes where needed.

Recent “star parties” held at local libraries have attracted decent crowds, with about 45 attending the one in Festus. That was another cloudy night, and so many people still showed up they had to bring in extra chairs, Ficken said.

“Jefferson County is bonkers right now,” said Ficken. The path of totality went through Jefferson County, he pointed out. “They remember everything about it.

They’re just crazy about it.”

The society now has about 180 members, about a 22 percent increase since the end of the year, he said.

He said the eclipse has brought members of the different astronomical clubs together, and said he hosted members of three clubs in his garage one recent Sunday to alter telescopes for the library program.

“Three years ago, we didn’t know who the others were,” he said.

“We’re all talking the same message.”

Eric Gustafson, an educator in the planetarium of the St. Louis Science Center, says the eclipse has served as a nice entry point during interactive star shows, when they try to get people to answer questions.

“Not everyone wants to speak up in a crowd, but if you ask them about the eclipse, that almost instantly opens everyone up.

That’s a memory for them, and it’s accessible to them, and it opens up things to the rest of science.”

There’s still plenty of stuff to see, say enthusiasts, and local astronomy groups and other educators are willing to help you.

An almost-full moon, one day away, as seen from Broemmelsiek Park in St. Charles County.

Don Ficken of Kirkwood, a member of the St. Louis Astronomical Society, cleans the mirror to a telescope with a pair of tweezers at the University City Library last month.

People got excited by the total lunar eclipse in late January. What’s the next big thing? Astronomy Day is on April 21, with some clubs hosting special events. Mars will be especially bright this summer. And there’s the Perseid meteor showers from Aug. 11-13 this year, and the Geminids on Dec. 13-14. Some other good comets are expected later in the year, but those are fickle.

Rick Schwentker, a retired Washington High School physics teacher, is the president of the Eastern Missouri Dark Sky Observers, which hosts monthly stargazing events at East Central College’s Observatory in Union. They plan to build a new observatory at a conference center in New Haven in the next few years but are still working out details.

After the eclipse, they had an increase in their club size and had

more people show up at stargazing sessions, but it’s hard to measure since they shut down sessions during the winter.

He and other club members bought several exercise balls and athletic balls and painted them the colors of the planets for a lesson in scale. The balls were on display during Washington’s solar eclipse celebrations.

Now, they sit in Schwentker’s basement, he says, laughing.

But he’s lent them to a couple of groups since and hopes to use them in the future. If it helps to drum up excitement, he’s happy.

“I’m a teacher by trade; my interest is dragging people out to see something,” he said. “I just like to watch their reaction.”

David Horne teaches physics classes at UMSL and runs the observatory on campus. It has a 16-inch telescope that’s used for student research and public observations, and they renovated their planetarium system two years ago.

Horne narrated and created the graphics for a new eclipse show, which they’ve shown since August.

He sees an upswing in students taking basic courses, such as prospective teachers taking astronomy to fulfill a basic science requirement. But who knows how the eclipse of August 2017 will inspire them in the future?

“We found a lot of people that were coming out during that eclipse who said they saw an eclipse in 1970 something, and that’s why they liked to do it, and that’s why they did the rest of their lives,” he said. “It’s hard to say how many people who saw that eclipse will take that path.”

Jim Twellman is the executive director for the Astronomical Society of Eastern Missouri, which hosts viewing events every Friday night at their observatory in Broemmelsiek Park in St. Charles County. He’s seen more scout groups showing up, but it’s hard to say if the eclipse or a general population shift is responsible.

He loves any chance to get today’s digital kids outside. Half the fun of stargazing is listening to whippoorwills, seeing tons of fireflies, hearing owls hoot and deer grunt, he said.

And then, there’s always the thrill of looking up. “I sometimes say this hobby is like a treasure hunt and the Fourth of July,” he said. “You have the fun of finding it, and then you get the ooh and ahh.”

Hopefully, the astronomers say, the groundwork is laid to build excitement for the next big thing: the area’s solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.

• Remove winter mulches and complete spring pruning of rose bushes on a dry day. Remove only dead wood from climbers at this time.

• Purchase nursery-grown, named cultivars of lowering dogwoods for your garden. They are more likely to bloom at a young age than unnamed seedling trees.

Cold snap probably didn’t hurt English ivy’s roots

BY CHIP TYNAN Missouri Botanical Garden

Q • Is it normal for my English ivy to be heavily damaged due the cold snap we had in St. Louis this current year?

A • Some English ivy cultivars are hardier than others. So damage will

vary in severity from variety to variety and location to location, but it is not unexpected for there to be varying degrees of injury to any broadleaf evergreen plants in any winter in which we experience sub-zero temperatures, locally.

In most cases, and especially for English ivies, the roots are likely

undamaged, and new foliage will eventually replace the damaged leaves when the weather warms in the weeks ahead.

JEWELRY ARTIST ‘GREW UP’ ON ETSY

BY PAT EBY Special to the Post-dispatch

Artist Holly Nickels Fann didn’t plan to make jewelry for a living, but when life circumstances brought her elegant gemstone designs to the online marketplace 10 years ago, eager customers lined up to buy her work. Although her peripatetic career journey took unpredictable twists and turns, Fann responded with panache.

“I wanted to be a food writer,” she says. “I didn’t want to be a hack, so after I got my degree from Mizzou in creative writing — which pleased my parents

— I went to the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) to learn about food and cooking.” Fann then cooked in several top-tier St. Louis restaurant kitchens for 10 years. “There’s a camaraderie among chefs I enjoyed,” she says. She also taught at L’Ecole Culinaire, an accredited professional cooking school.

She ended her career as a chef when years of repetitive, jarring motions in professional kitchens took its toll. Fann developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome. When surgery and physical therapy failed to halt the damage or lessen the pain, Fann began her

STL LIFE career in food writing at the Riverfront Times. She also found time for a new hobby — making jewelry.

The same focused intensity that led her to excel in the restaurant kitchens fueled her success as a writer and as an emerging artist.

The quest for perfection “When I have a new hobby, I get excessive. I took classes at Craft Alliance in basic jewelry skills and in metalsmithing that gave me the foundation to go further on my own,” Fann says.

“When I was first learning 13 years ago, there was no makers trend, no magazines, no tutorials on You Tube. I bought and studied old jewelry books. I made a few shoddy pieces at first, and I wasn’t happy with the results. I soon learned using good construction and high quality components made jewelry more in keeping with my standards. I became obsessed with making each piece perfect.”

Quality construction • A quick glance through the 400-plus items for sale at the Atelier, Fann’s online Etsy store, demonstrates Fann’s mastery of details, both understated and grandiose. From flawlessly turned wire work to unobtrusive connections, elegant construction enhances both the gemstones and the flow of the design. Fann sometimes adds vintage clasps and findings. She finishes sleek pieces with stylish caps and closures for a clean, modern finish.

Brilliance and clarity • “I am focused on gem quality. I’ve been buying better gems from Jaipur, India, from Japan, and some things from China.

The first shipment of gemstones I received from India blew me away.

Higher-grade gemstones are more striking and vibrant with a clarity that’s so beautiful — I’ve become gem-obsessed.”

A singular approach • “I don’t make multiples.

Each of my pieces is one of a kind. The quality of gems I use is such that I can’t order the same things over and over,” Fann says.

Fann relishes unusual elements, like baroque pearls. “I love working them because of their unique, organic shapes. I’ll often combine pearls with gemstones so people will have things from me they can’t get anywhere else,” she says. “In some ways, pearls seem more beautiful to me because they’re delicate, and not indestructible. Today, warming

Where to buy • Fann sells exclusively through her online Etsy shop, the Atelier, etsy.com/shop/TheAtelier How much • $89 to $2,500

Navigating a new marketplace • Ten years ago, Fann was one of the first people to open a store on a new site few people had heard of. “I don’t like talking about my jewelry at art fairs, plus my price point is not set for impulse buys, so I started selling online with Etsy, which was the place for hand-made pieces. I grew up with the site,” she says. Today, Fann is an Etsy mentor, a skilled seller willing to share her knowledge with new folks. “People don’t understand if you enjoy doing something, and you’re thinking about quitting your job, the fun stuff people like — making jewelry — is only about 10 percent of what successful sellers do every day. The rest is marketing.

Having a beautiful product is just not enough.”

The total package • Fann emphasizes excellent presentation, from the logo on the header of the store, to the high-quality photos of each item, to the postsale thank-you notes and emails to buyers. “Building trust is also paramount to success. I’ve had a lot of customers shopping with me for 10 years now. If you’re going to spend $600 with someone, you need to trust that person.”

VEGAS WITH KIDS? IT CAN BE DONE. MAYBE EVEN IT SHOULD BE DONE.

PHOTOS BY BRIAN SIRIMATUROS

The Conservatory at the Bellagio hotel delights with its thousands of lowers and sculptures celebrating the Year of the Dog.

BY AMY BERTRAND St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Kids in Vegas? Are you kidding? Teenage boys in Vegas?

Seriously? That’s the reaction I mostly got when planning a little getaway with the family to Sin City. Even the travel bureau there suggested it was a 21-and-up destination. So what made me do it? Well, my 13-year-old was in a hockey tournament there. But we went a few days early to take in all the wonderful things the strip has to offer — yes even for kids.

I’ve been to Vegas nearly a dozen times. During the years, I’ve seen more and more kids walking around with their parents (or maybe, having kids, I just noticed them more). Look at it like they do: My kids were wowed by the Eiffel Tower at the Paris resort, half the size of the real thing. They couldn’t wait to do the gondola ride at the Venetian with its singing gondoliers.

The sphinx of Egypt at the Luxor captivated them, as did the giant pyramid with its zooming lights.

They (especially the one taking ancient civilizations class) wondered at the sculptures in Caesars Palace (and yes, some were nudes, but that’s art).

What we didn’t see were real nudes. A few scantly clad flamingo dancers, Batman, some Transformers and a bunch of monks, yes, but no pasties, and no ladies of the night. Of course, we did most of our exploring in the day, preferring to spend the evenings at a show or in our own hotel.

FREE STUFF Some of the best things for kids to see in Vegas are free. We spent our first full day walking up and down the strip, mostly taking in the free attractions.

The Conservatory and Botanical Garden, just inside the Bellagio entrance, is a sight to behold no matter how old you are. About 120 gardeners and botanists maintain the 14,000-squarefoot space with soaring glass ceilings. It’s free to walk around, smell the flowers and take in the ever-changing exhibits. Right now, it’s a celebration of Japanese spring; on our visit, the garden honored the Chinese new year.

Next door to the Bellagio is Caesars Palace. Take a walk around the adjacent Forum Shops to find fun stores kids will love: there’s Field of Dreams, a sports store; National Geographic and Disney fine art galleries; and Kalifano, which sells metal art replicas of Transformers, pirates (of the Caribbean) and even Golum, from “The Lord of the Rings.” As you walk around the mall, take in the replica Roman art. And stop by the revamped Fall of Atlantis show, with talking statues and pyrotechnics. It plays every hour on the hour starting at 11 a.m. And don’t miss the nearby 50,000-gallon aquarium.

The Mirage volcano: Every night at 7, 8 and sometimes 9 p.m., catch a volcano erupting

You can get up close and personal with the dolphins at Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

The Zidler character of Baz Luhrmann’s show at the Palazzo Theater guides you through a narrative that intertwines characters, songs and scenes from “Moulin Rouge,” Romeo + Juliet” and “The Great Gatsby.”

CrazyShakes at Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer in the Venetian are almost works of art with their massive, candy topping.

The Eifel Tower at the Paris resort in Las Vegas is half the size of the one in France and has a viewing deck with 360-degree city views.

outside of the Mirage. Feel the heat and hear the blasts of the show set to a driving soundtrack from the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart and Indian tabla artist Zakir Hussain.

At Circus-Circus, you can catch (for free) stunt shows by unicyclists and acrobats above the casino floor every half hour.

(Note: Kids can walk through the casinos on the walkways.)

Hershey’s and M&M stores: Need some chocolate? Kids (and parents) will delight in Hershey’s Chocolate World in the New York-New York hotel, with an 800-pound chocolate Statue of Liberty sitting front and center.

Just down the street, M&M’s World is a 28,000-square-foot, four-level monument to the colorful candies and a place you can create your own personalized ones.

Once you’ve taken in all the free attractions, circle back to the Bellagio after 3 p.m. weekdays (11 a.m. Sundays; noon Saturdays) and your kids will ooh and ahh at the famous Fountains of Bellagio. Water, music and light come together for an enchanting show. The choreography is set to music that changes all the time, from classical and operatic pieces to “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and “Uptown Funk.”

ADVENTURES AND SHOWS New York-New York’s Big Apple roller coaster: You can see the coaster’s red tracks and speeding taxi cab-looking cars from resorts away, twisting, turning, going up and down. The track is nearly a mile and hits speeds of 67 mph. It’s a fun — albeit fast — way to see the strip. Just recently, they added a virtual-reality experience to the coaster, which takes you through the desert and over the strip. The coaster ride is $15; $20 for the virtual reality.

When you’re done, stay and play at the resort for a bit; the roller coaster’s entrance is through a fully stocked arcade.

Stratosphere: At the far end of the strip, the Stratosphere has become known as the place for the truly adventurous. There’s a Sky Jump (like sky diving), a ride that dangles you off the edge of the tower, 900 feet in the air, and more. I’ll admit, I wasn’t adventurous enough for these, but teens may find this a mustsee stop.

Gondola ride: I’ve always wanted to go to Venice, so the next best thing, of course, is the opulent Venetian hotel in Vegas.

There you can dine at Italian restaurants, walk the streets, seeing mimes and other street performers along the way, stroll on the promenade with a clear (fake; it’s a ceiling) sky above you and watch gondolas go down the canal. You can ride one for $29 a person (indoor or outdoor), sit back and listen to your gondolier serenade you as you cruise though the water. Ours had worked for years in Branson, Mo., so we chatted as much as he sang.

You won’t be able to miss the 550-foot High Roller Ferris Wheel, and neither will your kids. Daytime tickets for kids are $9; adults are $22 or $35 if you’d like to drink from the bar on each car.

When kids need to let off a little steam there’s always the Adventuredome inside Circus Circus. It’s a five-acre indoor amusement park with rides, coasters, games, a laser maze, rock climbing, mini-golf and more. An all -day ride pass is $32.95 for those 48 inches and up or $18.95 for the littler guests.

Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat: This was my kids’ favorite part of the trip. We got there as it opened at 10 a.m. and went straight to the dolphin pools. There, trainers helped the mammals show off their skills — jumps, spins, back swimming, shaking their head.

At most dolphin shows I’ve been to, you sit and watch something choreographed. On this you could stand poolside. And the dolphins were often within arm’s length. After they show off their skills for about 20 minutes, head below to get a glimpse of them (including a 7-month-old baby) swimming and playing. The adjacent Secret Garden features gorgeous white tigers and lions and videos of their former lives on stage. Tickets run $17-$22 (mirage.com).

Shark Reef Aquarium: After a long walk though Mandalay Bay you will reach the aquarium.

Much like the aquariums in big cities all over the U.S., this one has tank after tank of a variety of fish and other sea creatures, 2,000 of them. It also has a touch tank, always a favorite of kids.

Most of it is pretty standard until you get to the 1.3 million gallon shipwreck area, where a dozen or so species of sharks swim under, above and to the sides of you.

Tickets are $19-$25 (sharkreef. com).

VEGAS SHOWS You really can’t go wrong with a Cirque du Soleil show for kids. They mesmerize with their acrobatics and stunts (and the minimal sexual innuendo will probably go over their heads). But you are usually talking $100 and up for a ticket. There are also magic shows (Mat Franco came highly recommended, but we couldn’t fit it in) that kids will love.

Our family, fans of the work of Baz Luhrmann, opted for a bit of a different show, “BAZ — A Musical Mash-up,” featuring songs from “Moulin Rouge,” “Romeo + Juliet” and “The Great Gatsby.” It was an attention-grabbing show for the kids, with cast members often coming into the audience. The Palazzo Theatre, part of the Venetian complex, has a number of fun options for seating; we sat on sofas in the middle of the theater. Tickets start around $64 (palazzo.com/entertainment/baz.html).

WHERE TO STAY One of the first questions you get when you tell people you are going to Vegas is where did you stay?

That’s probably because most people have walked through (or gambled in) so many hotels on the strip, so they feel they know them. New York-New York and Circus Circus are probably the most kid-friendly. But you also want to consider the pool situation for kids. Mandalay Bay, where we stayed, had a huge pool complex with a lazy river and a wave simulator.

Make no mistake, it’s a big hotel, with 3,211 rooms (a total of 4,752 if you consider that the campus technically includes the Delano and the Four Seasons). But even the basic room we had was large and luxurious, and the hotel

ABOVE: In front of New York-New York, you’ll ind a city skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. But the highlight for kids is the mile-long roller coaster, with cars shaped like taxi cabs, that take guests on the real adventure. LEFT: A gondolier serenades tourists on a gondola ride through the “canals” of the Venetian hotel.

amenities (so many restaurants and bars and shops — and that pool) are worth it.

You can get a room for as little as $90 (mandalaybay. com) depending on what night and what’s going on in town, but suites can soar into the thousands.

We booked the hotel months before a gunman opened fire from the 32nd floor of the hotel, killing 58 people. We saw no signs of the tragedy at the packed hotel, but the concert area

BRING IT ON HOME • TRIESTE, ITALY

across the street is fenced off and shut down. #vegasstrong is a sentiment that runs deep through the town.

FOOD From the fanciest restaurants of celebrity chefs to the cheapest West Coast icon ( In-and-Out Burger), Vegas has every kind of food you can imagine. My recommendation is to hit one mega buffet (your kids’ eyes will light up at the

dessert table alone), one fancy place so they get a taste of Vegas culture and one fun burger-and-shake joint.

We went to two big brunch buffets and both ran about $175 for all four of us. Wicked Spoon, in the Cosmopolitan, and the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars both offered stations of seafood, prime rib, Asian cooking, Mexican, sushi and desserts. Both also offered unlimited

mimosas (probably other things too; that’s just what we were ordering). Wicked Spoon’s Oxtail broth for Pho and the eggs benedict were winners for me, while the made-to-order crepes with bananas foster were a favorite at Bacchanal.

For fancy, you can always go to the restaurant of a celebrity chef they know.

But I loved taking my kids to a supper club-type place. The new Libertine Social inside of Mandalay Bay has a menu created by James Beard award-winning chef Shawn McClain.

The restaurant, which calls itself a next-generation gastropub, is as trendy as it is delightful. We ordered a

variety of small plates, and none disappointed. The highlights were the Crispy Spanish Octopus ($19) with eggplant puree and the Spicy Hamachi Cones ($19), yellowtail with yuzu crème fraîche served in a tiny, savory cone.

If you want to go more traditional in décor (Libertine Social’s has a giant bunny mural with human body-part sculptures protruding from it) but just as forward-thinking in food (and much quieter), try Veranda, which, as the name implies, has a beautiful outdoor area.

There, chef Michael Goodman creates a menu of authentic Italian cuisine with modern influence.

The Ora King Salmon ($37) with puttanesca, cauliflower, almond and lime was sublime. But what kid could resist the signature dessert: tiramisu topped with a hazelnut basket with gelato and the lightest, most delicate orangeflavored cotton candy you can imagine to top it all off.

For more affordable fun, upscale burger joints can be found in nearly every resort. We opted for a new one. Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, straight out of New York City, makes great burgers, but it’s their signature “CrazyShake” milkshakes that have garnered worldwide attention.

Take the Sweet n Salty, a peanut butter shake with a chocolate-peanut butter rim covered in M&Ms and mini peanut butter cups, topped with a sugar daddy, pretzel rod, chocolate covered pretzel, whipped cream and chocolate and caramel drizzle ($15).

A trip to Vegas can take you and your family around the world — to Paris, to Venice, Egypt and more. It won’t cost as much as as a trip around the world, but it won’t be cheap either.

Oh, the legal trouble Americans get themselves into when they’re abroad.

“They dress immodestly,” says Sheryl Hill, the executive director of Depart Smart, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving travel safety.

“They bring banned medications. They make inappropriate gestures.

I’ve heard it all.”

No joke. A few years ago, Qatar ran a campaign to remind tourists to dress modestly, in accordance with its Islamic laws. More recently, a Utah woman landed in a Mexican jail after bringing Sudafed on her Puerto Vallarta vacation.

One of the most famous cases of cultural misunderstanding occurred in 1985, when five Americans were arrested outside the Vatican. Their crime?

Making the signature gesture of the Texas Longhorn football team, a clenched fist with the index finger and little finger extended. It is an obscene gesture in Italy.

“All the rules change when you’re in another country,” Hill says.

But there are ways to

stay out of trouble, and steps you can take to help yourself if you should fall into it.

What’s the most effective way to avoid violating a foreign law while you’re on vacation? Do a little research before your trip, advises Sasha Shulman, a criminal-defense lawyer in South Florida who frequently deals with international visitors.

“When traveling abroad, make sure you understand the local laws and regulations,” she says.

“There are many laws abroad that are similar to those in the United States. However, thorough research prior to travel is important.”

The State Department’s country-specific pages offer an overview of important local laws.

Many travelers don’t realize that popular tourist destinations have laws that can seem quirky to Americans. These include regulations against stopping on the autobahn (Germany), jumping into city fountains (Italy), chewing gum (Singapore), driving in flip-flops (Spain) and insulting the royal family (Thailand).

Another pre-departure step you should consider: registering with a U.S.

Embassy or Consulate.

“In my opinion, that’s the first thing you should do,” says Renata Castro, an immigration lawyer based in Pompano Beach, Fla. Castro says it’s harder for the government to help if it doesn’t know you’re in the country, and, as it turns out, the U.S. Consulate can offer you vital assistance in the event of trouble.

The State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), a free service, allows U.S. citizens and nationals traveling and living abroad to easily enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Enrollment in STEP allows you to receive emails with travel conditions in your destination country, gives the U.S. Embassy a way to contact you, and helps family and friends reach you in an emergency, such as if you’re detained or jailed.

Helping arrested or detained citizens is one of the embassy’s top priorities. Among other services, the embassy or consulate can supply a list of English-speaking attorneys, contact family and friends on your behalf, visit you on a regular basis to help ensure that you are being treated well, confirm that prison officials are providing appropriate medical care, if needed, and offer an overview of the country’s judicial system. You can find a complete overview of the State Department’s services on its website.

Travel insurance typically doesn’t cover legal problems. But a company such as International SOS, which offers assistance to international business travelers, can help members who get into trouble abroad. Through its 24-hour help line, International SOS connects travelers with a local attorney or a lawyer who understands international law, depending on the situation. It can also find a lawyer who can get you out of jail or back home.

International SOS is

used mostly by big companies with international travelers and schools with study abroad programs, but individual memberships are also available.

Having a good lawyer can make the biggest difference. That’s what Leslie Fischer, a website publisher from Houston, discovered when a friend got into a fender bender in Germany. “He tapped a traffic sign with his car while backing up,” she remembers. “He got out of his car, inspected the sign, saw there was no damage, and left.”

But a passer-by reported him to the police for leaving the scene of a crime, and he subsequently received a notice in the mail, charging him with a crime. “Since he is an American, he was not necessarily aware of the seriousness of the charges, his rights or what he may have done wrong,” Fischer says. “Policemen are often not excellent speakers of English. Trying to talk with them in a foreign language is not a good idea.”

Fischer says her friend hired an attorney who accompanied him to the police station. Travel insurance generally doesn’t cover your legal costs if you get into trouble, but it can provide you with a referral. And most of the embassies of English-speaking countries keep lists of attorneys on their sites.

“Instead of communicating with a serious language barrier in the heat of frustration, the attorney was able to speak with the police in their language and get the charges dropped. My friend simply showed up and sat silently,” she recalls.

But that’s not how most people want to spend their vacations. With a little pre-travel homework, you can avoid legal drama and spend your time abroad enjoying your trip.

Tourists turn polo players for a day in Argentina

BY LUIS ANDRES HENAO Associated Press

CAPILLA DEL SENOR, ARGENTINA • Riding a

polo horse on Argentina’s Pampas grasslands, Martin Folan swings a mallet in a wide arc and hits the ball with a loud clink, slotting it between two posts to cheers of “Goal!”

Not bad for his first time on a horse.

Polo has traditionally been an exclusive, glamorous sport reserved for the rich elite. But in Argentina, home to the world’s top polo players, tourists can ride horses, learn from the pros how to hit the high-impact plastic ball and even play a match on a real field for less than $200 a day.

“It was my first time on

“I never thought I would have done this at the beginning of the day,” the Londoner added.

of horseback riding among the Argentine cowboys known as gauchos, has gone on to dominate professional polo globally.

“Polo is played in the countryside a lot and in a much more informal way,” said Juan Pablo Alessandrini, spokesman for Argentina’s Polo Association. “Kids start riding horses at a very early age, and they get to know polo.

That’s a huge advantage over other countries.”

There are about 3,000 registered polo players nationwide and many more informal ones. The Argentine Polo Open Championship held annually in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires usually sells out the 14,000 seats at the stadium that is revered by many players as the cathedral of world polo.

The tourist-oriented Argentina Polo Day is based at La Carona Club about an hour’s drive north of the country’s capital. Its founder, Ruben Jabib, said the idea came to him when he owned a restaurant just blocks from the Palermo polo grounds in Buenos Aires and he would often meet tourists interested in the sport.

He used two outdoor fields and built an indoor field so tourists with no

previous experience can play year-round under all weather conditions.

The polo day package also includes transportation, wine and a traditional Argentine barbecue.

Other clubs offer similar polo day services, but for the most part, the “sport of kings” is often played by the super-wealthy at upscale villas and resorts.

“What we did was to make polo informal,” Jabib said. “Before this, people needed a groom, a horse and stables. Here, I provide them with everything — helmets, boots, horses — and they’re ready to play.”

On a recent day, French polo instructor Stephane Buton was teaching a group from Britain, Russia, Iceland and United States how to hit the ball with the mallet. Nearby, a group of ponies neighed and

splashed in a pond, cooling off after a game.

“Is this different for the English because they drive their horses on the left,” Jon MacLeod, 74, from Seattle, joked, causing the group to break into laughter.

His brother-in law, Jed Hulsey, 62, from Newport Beach, Calif., swung the mallet like a pendulum with a whoosh.

“I play golf and I play tennis and I like to swing rackets. I think this is kind of similar in a way,” Hulsey said. “Though (adding) riding a horse to the equation makes it a little bit different, more fun.”

The sport is sometimes referred to as field hockey on horseback. But Nacho Figueras, the Argentine polo star, says it’s more like playing golf during an earthquake.

DEAR ABBY

THE PEOPLE’S PHARMACY • JOE AND TERESA GRAEDON

RV road trip with preteens is no vacation for teacher

How will you manage your allergies this spring?

Dear Abby • I’m the youngest of four sisters. The oldest sister is the only one who has children — three girls under the age of 12. I’m a high school teacher who works about 60 hours a week during the school year between teaching, grading, attending meetings, completing paperwork, tutoring before and after school, and planning lessons.

My second-oldest sister wants to plan an elaborate road trip this summer that involves renting an RV and driving cross-country with our nieces to visit Disneyland. She feels that since I have the summer of, I should be more than happy to go on this trek.

I love my students and nieces, but by the time summer rolls around, the last thing I want to do is spend a week or more in a camper with kids. I told her I have some summer training to go to, which is true, hoping she would drop the subject. She hasn’t. I don’t want my sister’s or my nieces’ feelings to be hurt, but I flat-out don’t want to do this. What can I tell them? — SWEATING IT OUT IN THE SOUTH Dear Sweating It Out • Forgive me if this is blasphemy, but Disneyland isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. That’s why it’s time to tell your sisters the truth. You deserve a child-free summer break if you want one, and that fact should not be regarded as a personal insult to anyone.

Dear Abby • I have worked with a woman for a little more than a year. Her daughter is having a baby. I have never met her daughter but hear only negative stories about her and her boyfriend, who both live with this co-worker.

Today in the mail I received an invitation to this daughter’s baby shower. I was told by another co-worker that we all (seven oice people) are invited, although none of us has ever met her. I am

surprised the woman I work with would do this. Does it seem strange to you, and should I feel guilty because I have no desire to go? Because of the invite, I feel I “should” give a small gift, but I’m sort of mifed about it. If you were me, how would you handle this? — CONFUSED CO-WORKER Dear Confused • The daughter and her boyfriend are living with your co-worker because they don’t have enough money to live on their own. I don’t know the reason for that, and neither do you. It’s fair to assume that they will need things for their baby. I agree that by sending you an invitation to the shower, she has put you on the spot, but I can understand her doing it.

If I were you, in the interest of solidarity as well as charity, I would send a small baby gift — or consider a group gift with your other co-workers. Because I had heard nothing positive about the mother-to-be, I would send with it my regrets for being unable to attend.

Dear Abby • After I retired, I wrote a book. I sent a copy to old friends at no charge. Upon receipt, they gave lukewarm thanks and criticized me for not personalizing it by handwriting a few words to them.

How should I deal with these people who often tend to criticize? — PUZZLED IN CALIFORNIA Dear Puzzled • Some people feel that an inscription in a book makes it a more personal gift. That said, “deal” with it by accepting the criticism graciously and ofer to autograph your book for them if they will return it to you.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, Calif. 90069.

Allergy season is right around the corner. Even if you did not realize that, the warring drug commercials on television would alert you. On the same program, you can see ads for Xyzal, Allegra and Nasacort. There also are spots for Flonase and Claritin-D. Drug companies are competing in part on how many symptoms the product relieves. Some brag that they can ease sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes and a runny nose. Others claim that their product manages even more symptoms.

In addition to the usual sneezing and drippy nose, an added oral decongestant is supposed to alleviate sinus congestion and pressure.

Regardless of how many symptoms the ad agencies are crowing about, allergy products fall into just a few categories. Most of the advertised products were once available by prescription only.

Corticosteroid nasal sprays such as fluticasone (Flonase Sensimist) and triamcinolone (Nasacort Allergy 24HR) are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs. Such corticosteroids can calm an overactive immune response to a wide range of allergens.

On the other hand, they may dampen the immune system’s reaction to infections. That is why the drug facts labels on packages warn: “Stop use and ask a doctor if you have, or come into contact with someone who has, chickenpox, measles or tuberculosis.” In the case of infections, people need to have their immune systems functioning at full power.

People may not always be able to distinguish allergy symptoms like runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion from an upper respiratory tract infection. That is why the label warns customers to stop use and see a doctor if symptoms don’t improve within a week. Steroid nasal sprays also may cause change in vision or severe or frequent nosebleeds.

Antihistamines work diferently. They literally block the effect of histamine.

That is an inflammatory chemical released when cells in the nose are challenged by allergens like pollen, cat dander or dust mites.

Old-fashioned antihistamines like diphenhydramine (DPH or Benadryl) are effective at easing some allergy symptoms, but they make many people drowsy. Nonsedating antihistamines such as levocetirizine (Xyzal) and fexofenadine (Allegra) are less likely to affect driving ability compared with diphenhydramine (Human Psychopharmacology, May 2016).

One drug you probably won’t see advertised on television this allergy season is cromolyn (NasalCrom). This unique allergy medicine does not seem to have a big advertising budget.

Cromolyn works by stabilizing mast cells in the nose, eyes and lungs. These cells contain histamine as well as other inflammatory chemicals called kinins.

Regular use of cromolyn makes mast cells less likely to react to allergens. However, NasalCrom spray must be used a couple of times daily to produce benefit.

That’s inconvenient for some people.

Here are some reports from readers who found this medication both safe and efective: “NasalCrom has been a lifesaver for me. My allergies are under control for the first time in years!”

Another reports: “NasalCrom actually works better for me than the allergy pills that cause side efects. It gets a lot of word-of-mouth recommendations, and I think that’s why we don’t see a huge advertising budget for it.”

Finding the best allergy treatment for you this season might require some trial and error. Don’t be swayed by slick commercials. www.PeoplesPharmacy.com.
