CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE

SOCIETY IN MY 20-PLUS YEARS AS A JOURNALIST, I HAVE ESTABLISHED A LOVE/ hate relationship with deadlines. They make me anxious, fidgety and sometimes neurotic; and yet, being on a timer has allowed me to thrive creatively and produce some of my best work. It may be a state of mind, but a new study suggests feeling anxious (or sad or surprised) also may trigger bodily sensations. Finnish researchers have revealed how emotions are ‘mapped’ in the body. For instance, being happy or in love sends pleasurable sensations throughout the body—the feel of being ‘warm all over.’ While unpleasant emotions like fear and anxiety send activity to the neck and shoulder areas, creating that stiffness in the lower neck and upper back. Researchers say the results will provide a better understanding of emotional disorders and assist in their diagnosis. For us, it means validation that it’s not just in our minds. It may be the reason we feel tightness in the chest when we’re angry—or get those butterflies in the stomach at the sight of, say, Brad Pitt…did it just get warm in here?

How do you ‘winter’? Mark Bretz My wife and I enjoy visiting the Art Museum. Winter seems to be our favorite time for a leisurely Sunday afternoon checking out the Museum’s collection. We’re looking forward to seeing the new East Wing expansion.

Dr. Doug Pernikoff We like Homosassa, Fla., to swim with the manatees in the clear spring rivers in that region, particularly the Weeki Wachee.

Dr. Guilan Norouzi Now Offering Strickland Facelift Dentures®

Bryan Schraier I enjoy any of the public parks in St. Louis, which become beautiful in the snow, especially after a fresh snowfall. My top favorites are Faust, Tilles and Tower Grove.

• Have the appearance of a face lift without the surgery • Feel more confident about your smile • One of the first locations in St. Louis to provide these dentures

Delicious

ELEBRATING THE 10-YEAR anniversary of its signature Memories and Melodies event, Memory Care Home Solutions recently gathered 475 friends and supporters in the Starlight and Zodiac rooms of The Chase Park Plaza. After cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, guests sat down to a fine meal and a program, which included the presentation of the 2013 Alzheimer’s Community Service Honorees Award to Ellen and John Wallace, for their enduring commitment and leadership at Memory Care Home Solutions. Proceeds from the event go toward the mission of MCHS, which is to extend and improve quality time at home for families caring for loved ones with memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Over the holidays, LN invited readers to share their smile—and their blessings—with others by participating in our Holiday Wish List Drive for Food Outreach. Each month, Food Outreach serves 1,000 men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS or cancer. “The collected canned goods will touch each of these lives,” according to executive director Greg Lukeman, who adds that food is the organization’s single-largest budget item. “We spend more than $600,000 a year on food. And this year, targeted food drives will save Food Outreach over $40,000.” And as you can see from the smiling faces, it was a day of festive fun and frolic all around.

The honor, given by PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, will be awarded at an upcoming ceremony in Washington, D.C.

My birthday wish for St. Louis… is that as we celebrate our 250th anniversary, we recognize our great heritage and our rich history. I hope we learn from the past—both good and bad—and create for our city a brighter future. I wish for an inclusive and diverse year of celebratory activities from which we learn to appreciate everyone’s contributions to our city’s future. I hope that through our 250th year celebration, we learn to appreciate how great our city is; and as a result, we become ambassadors for St. Louis.

accomplishments were a junior kindergarten program started in 1964, which was the forerunner of the nationwide Head Start program; and the Forest Park Children’s Center, which began in 1945 and later merged with Edgewood Children’s Center, Strasheim notes. “This League has really been recognized for our innovation throughout the years. There are certain Leagues you look too, like New York and Dallas, and St. Louis has played that role, as well.” To kick off the celebration, the Junior League will host an anniversary luncheon on Feb. 6 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. “It’s a celebration of our members, past and present, who have made a difference in the community. We’re also inviting people from projects we’ve worked with over the years,” Strasheim says. Continuing the celebration, the local chapter will have the distinction of hosting the Association of Junior Leagues International for its annual conference.

N 1914, WHILE THE WORLD’S ATTENTION was focused on the Great War, here in the U.S., the women’s suffrage movement was gathering steam. Inspired to help women develop their potential and contribute to society, St. Louis suffragists Margaret McKittrick and Ann Drew founded the Junior League of St. Louis. This year, the local affiliate of the Junior League is observing its 100th anniversary, with much to celebrate. Throughout the years, the organization has started a number of efforts to help the St. Louis community, many of which have become independent nonprofits that are active to this day. “The first members’ project was the Occupational Therapy Project, which is still going on through the Washington University School of Occupational Therapy,” says current president Maureen Strasheim. “Our philosophy is always to get them started and then turn them over to the community. We’ve had several different vocations, but our focus is always on training members to be effective volunteers and improving the community.” Among some of the local chapter’s major

“I

Faith, Family & Friends

t’s a night of faith, family and friends, and that’s what makes it so special,” says Peggy Barnhart about the Fleur de Lis ball. A board member and mother of Crosby Barnhart, one of this year’s honorees, Barnhart says those three elements are chief among the reasons why her family has been involved through the years. Barnhart’s three sisters were presented at the Fleur de Lis, as were all her own daughters and her sisters’ children. Her oldest daughter, Ally, walked in 2005, with second daughter Caley being presented in 2007. This year was Crosby’s turn, and it was a night where the teen was looking forward to following in the family tradition. “Both older girls remember it as just the night of their life; they loved it,” Barnhart says. “There were so many friends, and it’s an exciting night: They get dressed up and are presented to the archbishop. It also connotes adulthood—they’re beyond high school and now they’re part of the larger world. I think it also indicates that they now have a responsibility.” While the family also is involved in the Veiled Prophet organization, Barnhart says the two debutante balls are not really comparable. “It’s two different traditions; the Fleur de Lis is a family celebration—the father walks them down, and the family is much more involved.” While the focus is on the young women entering adulthood, the strong component of faith, family and community also is important, Barnhart says. She adds that carrying on the traditions is spectacular in itself. “When we did it, it was at the Chase, but the traditions were much the same. They had the boys run down the aisle, and the stags in waiting. It’s still pretty much the same night, all these years later.” Also being presented this year was Catherine Freeman, whose mother, Julie, also was an honoree. In addition, Julie’s three sisters and her husband’s three sisters participated; as well as Catherine’s older sister, Ashley, who was presented last year. “I love the whole family tradition idea behind it,” Julie Freeman says. “Their father walks them and they’re all in white gowns. They’re presented to the archbishop and I love that the money goes to Cardinal Glennon. It’s an all-around great cause.” Because of the strong ties among the families who participate in the tradition, Freeman sees continuity between when she walked and today. “I don’t think it’s really changed much. What has changed is the people on the board—many of the people on the board now are women whose mothers were on it. It’s like a flashback to see all those people.” The Freeman family has carried on several of its

One Honoree’s Story

Leading by Example By Julia Christensen

ary Ruth Wagner has quite the resume: The Ursuline Academy grad served as student ambassador, a youth retreat leader and a varsity athlete, in addition to being a frequent volunteer. Her community work includes volunteering with Saint Louis Crisis Nursery for her junior service project at Ursuline—a school that features the motto, Serviam, as she notes—in addition to work with the Pujols Family Foundation. “It was something that came to me easily, and helping others was something I have always wanted to do,” says Mary Ruth, who explains she will continue to volunteer. “It’s how I was raised. It’s my drive to want to help others.” The strong philanthropic upbringing comes from the lead of parents Raymond and Ann Wagner. Mom Ann, the U.S. congresswoman who

lists organizations such as Catholic Charities of St. Louis and St. Patrick’s Center among the beneficiaries of the family’s involvement, says giving back is a family commitment. “It’s our feeling that we should be involved as a family in giving back to the community, to our parish and to those who are less fortunate. The best way to do that with children is not to tell them, but to show them. Serving a cause greater than one’s self is something that Mary Ruth and our two other children have not only been actively involved in, but have witnessed in their young lives,” Ann says. “You can tell your kids or you can show your kids, and I’m pleased they’ve picked up on this commitment through watching my husband and me, as well as others in my family who have decided to give back to the community in whatever way they can.” Outside of her volunteer work, Mary Ruth played on the varsity teams in cross country, swimming and track, participated in a charitable

swim-a-thon, and was the cross country team captain during her junior and senior years—a combination that surely influenced her nomination from Ursuline for the Skippy Keefer Sportsmanship and Participation award. Previously, while living in Luxembourg, Mary Ruth traveled as a member of the honors choir. Even at a young age, responsibility was present, as she says she understood she was a participating as a representative of the U.S. Mary Ruth currently is a student at Miami University in Ohio, and recently was presented at the 55th annual Fleur de Lis Charity Ball. “I was glad she was interested in attending the classes, doing the preparation work and making the commitment of service to the Catholic church and community through the Fleur de Lis program,” says her proud mom. “We found it to be something very special, and we’re glad she stayed involved and was able to be presented to the Archbishop.”

The procedure also allows moisture to penetrate the skin better, he adds. By prescription, topical treatments such as Carac and Retin-A are available. The creams speed up skin cell turnover to improve facial appearance. Over a period of three months, they can repair sun damage and smooth fine lines. While the results are delayed, there is no downtime, Chi notes. Another beneficial face cream, alpha hydroxy, is offered over-the-counter, he adds. “It’s good for stripping away cells and letting the skin absorb more moisture, but it won’t affect deeper damage.” Drs. Branham and Chi agree that choosing skin care as a top priority is one of the best New Year’s resolutions you can make. “People underestimate how much dry skin and age spots can make you look older,” Branham says. “And there are easy, non-invasive ways to take care of these issues.” So, if you’re looking to fight the signs of aging and regain a more youthful appearance, the physicians

ith the new year upon us, it’s a good time to resolve to take better care of your skin, according to Dr. Gregory Branham and Dr. John Chi of the Washington University Facial Plastic Surgery Center. The center, which specializes in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, as well as aesthetic skin care, offers minimally invasive treatments for repairing and refreshing the damaged skin of the face. During winter, Branham says the dry, cold air can be harsh on the skin, which still also may be showing signs of damage from the summer sun. “Since people are ‘hibernating’ and spending little time in the sun, winter is the perfect time to retool your skin to get ready for the summer again.” Laser resurfacing and chemical peels are great choices for rejuvenating the face this time of year, Chi notes. The center’s CO2 lasers remove outer skin cell layers to tighten the skin, minimize discoloration and diminish wrinkles. The relatively new treatment causes peeling during one to two weeks of downtime, significantly less time than older procedures of its kind, Chi adds. A less aggressive treatment, the TCA chemical

Abdominoplasty

Success Depends on You By Connie Mitchell

f your New Year’s resolution involves a flat tummy, you may think you can easily check it off the list with one little surgery. But abdominoplasty, popularly known as a ‘tummy tuck,’ is not a little surgery—and it’s not for everyone. A tummy tuck can solve the problems of excess abdominal skin and muscle laxity for a select group of candidates, particularly women who find they can’t rid themselves of a post-pregnancy belly bulge. However, abdominoplasty is a serious surgery that requires serious recovery time, and its long-term success largely is dependent on the patient. Not everyone who wants a flatter abdomen is an ideal tummy tuck candidate. “Heart or lung disease is a major contraindication. Smokers must be smoke-free for at least two to four weeks before and after the surgery. And if one is still significantly overweight—in the obese category of BMI (body mass index) greater than 30—without having started a healthier lifestyle, then again the results would be sub-optimal,” says Dr. Michele Koo, a St. Louis plastic surgeon.

Dr. Marissa Tenenbaum, a plastic surgeon with West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University, agrees. “Occasionally I do turn people away,” she says. “I want my patients to have a great result without the added risks that obesity can cause. Ideally, the patient is at or near an ideal weight and has maintained that weight for several months. They need to understand that a tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure— people are often surprised that they only lose a couple pounds after having a tummy tuck.” Shaping up before the procedure is common advice. “An abdominoplasty is a very safe procedure, but as with any surgical procedure, there are some things you can do to improve the odds that everything goes well,” says Dr. William Huffaker, a plastic surgeon with St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery. “Any surgical procedure goes easier for patients who routinely exercise before surgery,” Huffaker notes. “Even walking 2 miles three times a week is adequate. There also will be some blood loss, so why not prepare yourself? Before surgery, take an iron tablet and a separate multi-vitamin each day. You’ll need to continue this for a while

after surgery, as well. And your body needs extra protein to heal well. Thirty grams a day before surgery and 60 grams a day after is a good start.” Post-surgical success also relies on a patient’s ability to adhere to a healthy lifestyle that will result in weight maintenance. “The tummy tuck has at least a two-week recovery, and one has to change their lifestyle or the flattest stomach after the surgery will only be short-lived,” Koo says. “Again, everyone in relatively good health is a candidate if they have excess skin, but how long the results will last is completely dependent on the person’s willingness to sustain a change of eating and activity level to maintain a stable weight.” So resolve to eat right and exercise in order to achieve a healthy weight. Then talk to a boardcertified plastic surgeon to determine if a tummy tuck is right for you.

Facial Photo Rejuvenation

Light Up Your Face

By Connie Mitchell

younger-looking face may be a matter of seeing the light. Whether you call it photo rejuvenation, a photo facial, photo biomodulation or low-level laser light therapy, delivering various wavelengths of light energy to the skin can result in a more even tone, reduced discoloration, less visible pores and a more youthful glow. One popular type of photo rejuvenation is known as ‘Forever Young BBL’ (broad-band light). Using a special laser, skin is treated with various wavelengths, depending on the needs of the patient. “It covers a wide array of color; and within that, we choose which wavelength of color we’re going after,” says Carol Anderson, lead nurse at Synergi MedSpa. “Are we treating red? Are we treating brown? Or are we just treating you for anti-aging?” The colors Anderson refers to include the red of broken capillaries beneath the skin and the brown of age spots and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. When targeted and treated with the appropriate wavelengths of light, capillaries are sealed and eventually reabsorbed by the body, while

hyperpigmentation initially becomes darker and then sloughs off. Patients report that the treatment feels like a rubber band being snapped against the skin as the laser is activated. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology concluded that “although BBL technology has been harnessed for its ability to produce a more clinically ‘youthful’ appearance, our study suggests that ‘rejuvenation’ at a molecular level also has occurred, with a number of genes linked to the aging process being altered in expression after treatment to more closely resemble young skin. Hence, it is possible that the clinical phenotype represents a functional rejuvenation (at least in the short term), rather than just a cosmetic mimic of youthful appearance.” BBL is used to treat the face, hands, neck, chest and arms, says Martha McEvoy, a nurse at St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery Medical Spa. “What’s impressive is, there’s really no downtime,” she says. Results usually become visible within a couple of weeks. Other types of lasers, used for more aggressive skin resurfacing, do require some recovery time.

ew You! N a h t i w r a e Ring in the New Y The anti-aging laser for photo-damaged skin.

“Older generations of photo rejuvenation had to be turned up pretty hot, and people had more issues with pinpoint bruising and redness that lasted longer. Now we don’t have to turn the energy up as high so there’s not as much risk that goes along with it,” notes Anne Strate, a registered nurse aesthetician with Renaissance Plastic Surgery Medical Spa. The number of treatments depends on the patient and the desired results. Three to five treatments—performed about a month apart—are typical, and patients often are advised to follow up with maintenance treatments every six months. Another, gentler option involves treating the skin with various wavelengths of LED light. “There are different light-emitting diodes used on the skin. Red light penetrates through the skin and builds collagen, so it’s an anti-aging treatment over time Continued on page 61

Skin Deep Q&A

By Lisa Watson

with Kelly Wilcockson of Synergi MedSpa

t’s that time of year when everyone is trying to make a fresh start. To help us with our beauty resolutions, we turned to Kelly Wilcockson, a licensed esthetician at Synergi MedSpa, for some expert advice.

What are some of the most common concerns people come to you with? The biggest concerns my clients have are anti-aging and body reduction. We’re big on anti-aging here: People always want to know, What I can do about lines around my mouth or eyes? They come in when they’re at a point where they don’t like how their skin is looking or how dark lines around eyes are making them look tired.

photo by Sarah Crowder

Is there a particular treatment that you like to recommend to clients for anti-aging? Dermapen is one thing I do for anything from fine lines to acne scars and brown spots. It’s not a ‘fluff and buff;’ it’s truly a medical procedure. I like doing it for clients because I can truly see a result. Sometimes even after only one treatment, I can see a reduction in pores and an improvement in the overall appearance of the skin. However, it’s not a one-time treatment; you would have it done a minimum of six times. The device looks like a pen, and it uses a small round cluster of needles to create microchannels into the skin. It’s an injury you’re creating in the skin and the natural defense mechanism is to go heal that area, which increases blood circulation, collagen and elastin. You can vary how aggressive the treatment is by going deeper down, or if we’re just brightening the skin we can do a superficial one. It takes less than an hour, and there’s just a little discomfort and little or no downtime. You just can’t wear makeup right afterward and the skin might be a little red. It’s one of our most popular procedures because it really gets results and you can customize how aggressive the treatment is. What would you suggest as a beauty resolution for the new year? For people who have stubborn areas of fat that just won’t go away with diet and exercise, we just started using a treatment called CoolSculpting. It’s one of very few FDA-approved devices that are cleared to remove fat. It’s a noninvasive fat-reduction device, and 92 percent of people who have the treatment have significant reduction in one treatment. It crystallizes the fat cells; and when the crystallization Continued on page 61

Pet-Care Resolutions

E ALL LOOK forward to the New Year and the practice of making promises to ourselves to hopefully better our lives in one or more ways. Those are noble goals, indeed! But even more noble and gracious would be to honor our beloved pets by committing to those New Year’s resolutions that will help to guarantee their health and well-being, as well. Let’s look at some of the ways we can do so: • More than 50 percent of our pets are considered to be overweight. No surprise, given that our human population is in even worse physical condition. The first pet resolution must be our promise to feed our pets correctly, taking into consideration their present condition, age, breed, etc. As needed, we also must commit to a regular exercise program for them. (This action supports our human condition, as well.) And certainly, discuss the type and degree of exercise you intend to initiate with your veterinarian to be sure you are not about to do harm in trying to help your pet. • Commit to regular playtime with your pet(s). This does not mean you have to spend five hours daily, as it is the quality—not the quantity—of time that makes the difference. Find moments throughout your busy week for your critters, even if you are simply playing catch, teasing them with one or more of their favorite toys, or just rolling around, petting, rubbing or play-fighting. Most pets just love the attention. • Regular grooming is a great commitment to make for the sake of your pet. This can simply mean a regular combing or brushing at home. Often, skin conditions can occur below the coat surface. Note that when you bathe your pet, you must brush them out afterwards or the kinking and matting will follow. As needed—depending on breed or your own capabilities—it may prove easier to simply select a great groomer and initiate a regular schedule of bathing, brushing or actual grooming. Discuss the needs of your pet with your selected groomer. Often, your veterinarian can direct you to a suitable groomer for your particular pet’s needs. • Don’t forget to honor your pets with regular veterinary examinations, at least once annually, but twice a year is even smarter. Why? Because in the course of 12 months, many bad things can evolve, especially as our pets age. The visit should always include a physical examination by your veterinarian, as well as appropriate blood,

urine and fecal examinations. The level of diagnostic sophistication in veterinary medicine has exponentially improved in the past decade. It is not unusual for your vet to have ultrasound, digital radiography, complete in-house blood diagnostics, and any number of specialists to refer you to, as needed, when needed. Take advantage of these expanded skill sets to be sure you offer your pet the greatest and best in health care. The result is that your pet lives longer and healthier. • Keep your household safe and free from dangerous scenarios that can entangle your pet into life-threatening situations. Keep poisons, cleansers, fertilizers and other chemicals secured away in the garage or basement. Remember that anti-freeze—introduced pre-winter and removed from our cars in the spring—is especially toxic to our animals. It tastes sweet, and thereby, is attractive to their taste buds. The trash can also harbors all sorts of tasty morsels that by volume, may cause an emergency bloating in dogs; or, by food type, say chocolate foodstuffs, grapes, onion and more, can all prove

BY DR. DOUG PERNIKOFF

FIND MOMENTS THROUGHOUT YOUR BUSY WEEK FOR YOUR CRITTERS, EVEN IF YOU ARE SIMPLY PLAYING CATCH...OR JUST ROLLING AROUND... very toxic if ingested by Fido or Felix. Be logical. Protect your pets as you protect your kids—that’s the best rule to follow. This is a good start for 2014. If you can all promise to commit to these few actions, we are all on our way to giving our pets a safe and healthy start for the new year. Talk to your veterinarian and learn more about other actions you might commit to this year. Make it a personal challenge to do the best you can for those special family members, our four-legged buddies. Have a great New Year full of new dreams and a healthy, loving life for you and your pets.

NCE UPON A TIME…CANDICE COLEMAN AND HER SON, Logan, were looking for the perfect pet. And they found it—twice. It started with a trip to the Humane Society, where they found Mickey. The kitten, born in August, was still only a few months old when they decided to get him a companion. “We felt bad that he would be by himself all day; and we had been told if you’re going to adopt a companion pet, it’s best to do it while they’re both still babies,” says Coleman, public relations manager at River City Casino & Hotel and Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles. During another visit to the Humane Society in Chesterfield, the Colemans found the perfect match. “She looks a lot like Mickey—she’s gray and white—but she has a little orange on her, and it matches

Logan’s hair color. So we had to do it. We couldn’t have picked a cuter cat for him.” Despite the stereotype of cats being independent—sometimes to the point of indifference—Mickey and Minnie turned out to be extremely affectionate, Coleman says. “I thought you had to earn their favor, but they were so loving, right from the get-go. We got really lucky. You can kind of tell their personality when you get them, but you’re making a decision after spending an hour with them in a room. You hope you will bond; and with them, they were great as soon as we got them home.” The little additions to the family really have made the home happier, Coleman says. “They’re our shadows the minute we walk in. Whatever room we go to, they go to; and we find them on the couch lying next to each other when we come home.” And though the cats are never at a loss for toys, with rainbowcolored balls and feather sticks among their favorites, Mickey and Minnie will make a toy out of anything, to the point of literally swinging off the kitchen chandelier! “They like to play with pens—you have to be careful because they’ll take them—they also love to play with our food,” Coleman jokes. “I’m totally enjoying it because eventually they’ll grow up and they might be asleep all day—I’m loving it while I’ve got it.” Though Coleman has had pets before, this is her first experience adopting from a rescue group, and she says now she understands all the friends who have told her how loving and appreciative rescued pets can be. “My golden retrievers were from a breeder and they were phenomenal, but I just feel better about getting them from a rescue and teaching that to my son,” she says. “They couldn’t be more affectionate and happier, and we did pick the right ones. At the Humane Society, they really care about their animals, and they follow up to make sure it’s working out OK.” In the end, it’s Logan’s happiness that is important to his mom. “Watching your son pick up the kittens, and playing with them, it does your heart good. I just hope it lasts forever—that sweet, playful spirit. I believe that animals pick you, and I’m really grateful that they picked us.” FOR YOUR OWN FAIRY-TAIL ENDING...

Home Remodeling By Brittany Nay

ou want your home’s curb appeal to make a great first impression. Here, local builders share ways to give your abode’s façade a facelift.

Patrick Devers, Gundaker Construction • Sharp Shingles. Asphalt roofing mimics the high-end look of slate or cedar shake shingles. • Upscale Accessories. Large-scale custom copper vents add appeal to your roof while increasing ventilation. • Attractive Alternatives. Composite material—Trex, Azek or Evergrain—serves as an attractive alternative to real wood by minimizing maintenance and mold issues. • Dramatic Entrance. Custom stone work, stamped concrete or slate tile on a porch makes for a dramatic entrance. • Home Highlights. Solar-powered lights and positioned spotlights combined with custom pillars create a warm welcome.

Dave Dunlap, Consolidated Construction • Point Of Interest. Dormers bring a unique emphasis to the home’s second story. • Lighter And Brighter. Lengthening windows also enhances the home’s exterior. • Magnificent Makeover. New windows, siding and roofing can complement the existing exterior, as well as increase insulation for greater comfort in the interior. • Warm Welcome. The addition of a front porch gives the home a welcoming and well-lit, secure entrance, while also creating a new outdoor entertainment space. • Fantastic Facelift. Grouped porch columns, rather than heavier single columns, help retain a ‘light’ feel to the front façade.

Upscale Upgrades in

Kitchens

By Julia Christensen

h, the days when a top-of-the-line kitchen was merely a few stainless-steel appliances and a slab of granite away… From space-age cooking to jewelry-ready countertops, current upgrades for the heart of the home are convenient, beautiful and absolutely unique.

Mark Dysart of Marc Christian Fine Cabinetry • Automatic opening. Often used for drawers housing trash cans or recycling bins, Dysart says that electronically assisted drawers are one of the ways technology is being integrated into cabinetry. “You can touch a drawer and it will open automatically.” • Lovely lighting. Another way to bring electronics into the kitchen? LED lighting inside cabinets or drawers. Dysart says tape lighting is available, which is thin strips of lights with an adhesive back and long lifespan. “They don’t give off any heat, so you don’t have to worry about heating up the inside of the drawer.” • Above-average glass. Dysart notes that, while glass in the kitchen isn’t new, there are a multitude of ways it can be showcased on cabinetry. Options include sandblasting, etching, colored glass, patterned glass, and wood or metal details or patterns, to name a few.

Mike Beye of ABS Solutions • Importance of induction. If stovetop speed is important, induction heat is the answer. Beye explains that gas heating is approximately 50 percent efficient in transferring heat to a cooking vessel, while electric stovetops are at about 65 percent. Clearly the victor, he says that induction heating is more than 90 percent efficient. • Dutiful drawers. Dishwashers aren’t new, but the preferred style may be changing. Beye explains that dishwasher drawers have been very popular because of the cleaning versatility. • The disappearing fridge. “Built-in refrigeration is very popular for a lot of our customers,” says Beye, noting that often, these hidden units have separate compressors between the fridge and freezer, and are available in a variety of sizes up to 72 inches wide.

Innovate.Celebrate.Collaborate.Innovate.Celebrate.Collaborate.Innovate.Celebrate.Collaborate.Innovate.Celebrate.

• Semi-precious countertops. Neinkamp doesn’t speak of standard marble or granite when explaining top-of-the-line upgrades— she mentions Concetto, a countertop by Caesarstone. Available in a variety of options, such as amethyst and blue agate, each stone is placed individually to create the solid piece, which can then be backlit to further highlight every detail. • Door accessories. “Hardware is always fun—it’s like the jewelry of the cabinets.” Nienkamp recommends brands like DuVerre Hardware and Schaub Hardware for those looking to make a statement with cabinet hardware. • Faux-wood flooring. Looking for a kitchen-appropriate alternative to wood? “More tiles are coming out that look like wood, so you can get the richness of wood with tile.” • Artisan backsplashes. Crushed glass, glazed ceramic, stained glass, three-dimensional… The options for backsplashes are practically limitless, and many bring an excitement to the kitchen. “You can really make a statement—a little bit goes a long way.”

Upscale Upgrades for the

Bath

BY BRITTANY NAY

TRANSFORM YOUR BATH INTO A PERSONAL OASIS WITH these stunning makeover tips from local designers.

Jennifer Trentadue, Henry Plumbing • Rest and relaxation. Make your bath a private spa by positioning a free-standing volcanic limestone tub in an alcove by a window under a chandelier. • Warm and cozy. Heated floors not only warm up the floor but make the whole bathroom feel cozy. • Intriguing angles. With its unique sizes and angles, a slate porcelain tile set in a Versailles pattern adds interest to the flooring. • Custom cabinetry. Upper cabinetry towers sitting on countertops keep your appliances hidden at standing level for convenient use and storage. • Fabulous faucets. A Hansgrohe faucet is the new ‘it’ fixture— there’s nothing quite like it.

Jenny Rausch, Karr Bick Kitchen + Bath • Decadent details. Custom molding gives a space a sense of age and luxury. • Flattering fabric. A soft and cozy textured fabric on a window seat adds to the room’s visual impact. • Stunningshower. Marble shower tile and the soft sweeping curves of a shower seat are useful, unexpected touches. • Storage space. Antique mirror glass doors add character to storage space. • Elegant entertainment. For entertainment during your morning routine, an area for coffee brewing and TV viewing can be achieved through built-in refrigeration and a tile barrel vault ceiling, complete with a hanging crystal light fixture.

Stephanie Elzein, Graniterra • Magnificent marble. Italian marble, which can be used for everything from the floor to the ceiling, always is elegant and never out of style. • Attractive accents. Ornate tile accents look great as a focal point for the space. • Dramatic direction. Diagonal placement of tile costs slightly more, but adds a ‘wow’ factor. • Custom countertops. Stone countertop edges can range from simple to ornate—with two stacked and shaped layers for a beautiful, unique look. • Fancy fixtures. Adding unique plumbing fixtures and knobs is a great way to personalize your space.

OME OWNERS ARE TURNING TO THE OUTDOORS FOR more living space, transforming plain, grassy yards into intricate sanctuaries.

Jim Graeler, Chesterfield Valley Nursery • Enjoy the great outdoors. Put your outdoor space to good use with a covered patio or pergola. Outdoor kitchens, with built-in grills and fire pits, make summer barbecues easier and more enjoyable. • Pop of color. Pots add texture and softness to landscapes. Use bright colors and a variety of sizes to accent your space. • Have a plan. Heading to the nursery or garden center without a plan will lead to an unrefined space. Having goals and plans, as well as samples or photos, will help professionals guide you in the right direction.

John Jacobsen, Liquid Assets Pools • Not just a pool. More and more customers want outdoor living spaces, not just pools. By adding hot tubs, stone walls, water fountains and sitting areas, the area is transformed into an additional ‘room’ of the house and acts as an extra entertaining space. • Eco is in. Salt is replacing traditional chlorine tablets to keep pool water sanitary. Using the chloride from salt is better for the environment, and easier on skin and eyes. Energy-efficient pumps, which can be programmed to pump at different speeds, also are gaining popularity. • Act fast. With so much snow and rain in the coming months, it’s best to dive into the process now if you want a backyard oasis come summer.

This water-resistant, glare-free television from Life Media brings entertainment outdoors.

Upscale Upgrades in

Home Technology • Pump up the jams. New outdoor speaker systems take outdoor entertainment to the next level. Multiple speakers and strategic out-of-sight placing create even coverage, and sensitivity prevents disturbance for neighbors.

Aaron Walbrandt, Walbrandt Technologies

Terrence Hampton, Life Media

• Light the way. New lighting systems offer one keypad with as many as eight buttons, each controlling a different area. You can control the lighting from the keypad or an iPad or iPhone, at home or away, and with one push of a button, turn on a pre-set series of lights throughout the house. • Smart shades. Programmable window shades can be synced with the internet, so shades go up or down at sunrise and sunset. This helps control heating and cooling costs, and prevents sun damage to furniture.

January 10, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

• HD is a thing of the past. 4K Ultra High Definition televisions offer four times the resolution of traditional HD televisions, with 8 million pixels. Ultra HD service still is catching on, so service from your provider might not be available for a few more months. • Streamline and simplify. Home automation can integrate your lighting, heating, air conditioning, sound system and security system to be controlled by any smart device. • An apple a day. The Apple TV is an easy

and affordable way to connect your devices and upgrade your system. It streams content from online, and connects to your iPhone or iPad.

Greg Moss, Modern Home Technologies

• Safe and secure. Security cameras on the driveway, inside the house and on walkways allow you to check in while on vacation or at work. • Electric shock. It’s easier to get surge protectors than to replace all your equipment. Guard your devices from electric surges and lightning with surge protectors. • Keep an eye on grandma. Security cameras and motion detectors make living at home easier for seniors and their children. Some systems can send texts notifying you when the senior has left or entered the house, or if there hasn’t been movement in the house lately.

Lighting By Blaise Hart-Schmidt

Lighting can determine the atmosphere of a room. Environmentally friendly bulbs and contemporary design give fixtures a fresh feel.

Mike Craft, Metro Lighting

• Turn up the heat. Find color temperature bulbs that suit your décor and needs. For example, a relaxing dinner party warrants a warm white bulb at 2700K, while bulbs that emit natural light at 5000K work great for reading nooks. • Think outside the overhead light. Kitchens today have lighting for specific areas, including under center islands, in cabinets, on toe kicks and under the lips of counter tops. Consider location, color and intensity to find what’s right for your space. • Explore the world of fixtures. Modern fixtures combine art and function. In a contemporary space, less is more. For traditional homes, look for elegant and streamlined fixtures. Choices are almost infinite, so take your time deciding, and explore all of your options.

Mike Pepper, Edwin Pepper Interiors Photos by Sea Gull Lighting

• Mother Nature approves. Modern fixtures are incorporating elements of nature, as well as a range of metals and stones. Lampshades also are becoming more integrated into design, instead of just a functional accessory. • Setting the mood. Lighting can make or break the design of the room, so consider the mood and function. Being able to adjust a room’s lighting through dimming can increase versatility. • Protect your Picasso. Fine art needs specialized lighting to preserve and prolong its life. Work with professionals to find the best lighting to highlight and care for your pieces. • Pictures say it all. Communicating your tastes and desires can be difficult to verbalize. Find examples of styles you like in magazines and online to show your designer, or to use as reference when shopping for fixtures.

HE SIGN WELCOMING GUESTS to Big Cedar Lodge says, Folks been havin’ fun here since 1921—and there’s no arguing that! From horseback riding and campfire wagon tours to kayaking, water-skiing and fishing; and even sand volleyball, ‘dive-in’ movies and yoga hikes, the 800-plus-acre resort, nestled in vast Missouri Ozark wilderness, is a playground for every man, woman and child. The vision for Big Cedar Lodge was conceived by Bass Pro Shops mogul and avid outdoorsman Johnny Morris, who purchased the resort in 1987. The property originally was developed in the 1920s as a posh country retreat for two prominent Missourians of the time, business entrepreneur Jude Simmons and Frisco Railroad executive Harry Worman. When Morris assumed ownership of the property, he initially planned to convert it to a fishing camp for Bass Pro Shop employees and customers (the company is headquartered in Springfield, just 40 miles north of the resort). Lucky for us, Morris reconsidered. Inspired

understatement. For this visit, we chose to set sail on Lady Liberty, the resort’s newly acquired 65-foot luxury yacht. Our sunset cocktail cruise had us exploring Table Rock Lake as dusk settled, and then, the bright lights of Branson in the distance as night fell. By day, there’s even more to explore, including scenic hiking and jogging trails, a lazy river and the Little Cedar Kids’ Club. But a favorite destination always has been The Carriage House Spa, where tried-and-true healing hands massage your worries away. In recent years, Big Cedar Lodge has attracted the attention of travel industry connoisseurs. Conde Nast Traveler recently declared Big Cedar Lodge its No. 2 Top Resort in the Midwest

by the majesty of Table Rock Lake—on which Big Cedar Lodge sits—as well as his own memories of family fishing trips, Morris instead decided to transform the property into a place for all families to become one with nature and learn about preservation and conservation in the process. There is no shortage of options for lodging, with 246 guestrooms dotting the property in the form of lodges, cottages and private log cabins. Our accommodation of choice was a secluded lakeside cabin, complete with a fully equipped kitchen, wood-burning fireplace and whirlpool bath, as well as a deck for enjoying morning coffee or grilling the catch of the day. If you’d rather leave the cooking to someone else, all you have to do is trot on over (or arrange for the omnipresent Big Cedar shuttles to pick you up) to one of four restaurants on-property. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding anniversary or a special family get-together, dining at The Worman House is a must. The restaurant embodies the Big Cedar Lodge experience in a nutshell: Equal parts elegant and at ease, the 1920s Tudor-style building was the country home of railroad tycoon Worman and his wife, Dorothy. Step inside to see the beautifully restored original railroad tie beams and handmade stained-glass windows, which return the home to its original grandeur. But the real reason to visit is to sample the upscale comfort cuisine made with the freshest and finest Ozark ingredients. The trout, for instance, is from the northern Ozarks and the produce is sourced from nearby farms. For a more casual option, there’s Devil’s Pool Restaurant, a great place for Sunday brunch, or to enjoy some only-in-the-Ozarks menu finds like Buttermilk Fried Chicken Livers, BBQ Bison Meatballs and Fried Catfish Tacos. The restaurant, once the home of original landowner Jude Simmons, also houses the popular Buzzard Bar downstairs featuring entertainer Clay Self, the resort’s own ‘singing cowboy.’ To say Big Cedar’s offering of amenities and activities is abundant would be an

EVERYTHING ABOUT MODERN LIVING IS EFFIciency- and comfort-focused. We went from starched collars and powdered wigs to three-piece suits and jeans and tees. As far as etiquette goes, there are certain formalities that seem to be standing the test of time. Please and Thank you seem to have marched into the information age unscathed. That being said, the rules applying to form of conveyance have relaxed considerably. Texting is de rigueur…for everything. Forget about a thank-you note, you can text a break up, a condolence or an excuse: Sorry to miss the ceremony—car trouble. The beauty here is that there is no room to delve. How serious was the alleged car trouble? Was there car trouble at all? Texting was not created to encourage conversation or fuel debate. Message sent, end of discussion. I think we should see other ppl (sad face); or Can’t make it tonight, sorry; or I’m out for the Chi trip, you guys have fun. Now I will say the little qualifiers at the end of the text are meant to take the sting out of the message and are typically female add-ons. Regardless of a mitigating frowny face or half-hearted apology, texts tend to elicit a certain amount of hostility. I have a friend who’s so enthusiastic in her texting I worry when the message is direct. I constantly fret when a text reply is one word: fine. What are they saying? Are they mad? If they really meant ‘fine,’ they would have said, That’s fine or Great. Even ‘OK’ is considered hostile. The nonaggressive alternative is ‘k’ or ‘kk.’ Capital letters are hostile and, because we tend to interpret things negatively, apparently so is a period. Yes, a period is considered ‘angry texting.’ So, let’s take a step back for a moment and examine a seemingly innocuous exchange: R you coming tonight? Yes. OK. 6? Fine. On the surface, what appears to be a relatively benign text stream between friends is actually

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER fraught with latent menace. For starters, the query verb, ‘R’. Just ‘You coming tonight?’ is far less aggressive. The ‘R’ seems to imply the recipient of the text has been unreliable in the past: Are you coming tonight, as opposed to the last time when you didn’t show up. Next, there’s the question mark. Calm down. It’s not what you think. Unless you think it’s the text equivalent of flipping someone the bird. Then it’s exactly what you think. I find myself on the horns of a dilemma. I want to ask a question but a question mark conveys malice. The answer to asking the question is this: ??? Three question marks are playful and friendly, and a clear indication of the lighthearted discourse to ensue. No question mark is OK, too, but leaves room for confusion. Moving on to the reply: ‘Yes.’ I’m sure the person initiating the text is thinking, Why not just throw a brick through my window? ‘Yes.’ Wow. Now there’s nothing to do about the initial cap. The iPhone capitalizes automatically and, well, making the adjustment is frankly too much work. The formal punctuated one-word reply—that’s bad. Any of the following are preferable and non-confrontational: ya, yep, yeah, yup, y. What started as a simple Q&A has become a mine field of antagonism. Who knew such an efficient form of communication could create such blow back? Here’s a thought: Why don’t we have a conversation? It’s hard to misinterpret words as they are coming from someone’s mouth. If there’s hostility present, it’s there for a reason. Plus, when we talk to each other, there’s no punctuation. Period.

REVIEWS MOVIE REVIEW

THEATER REVIEW BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

Inside Llewyn Davis

BY MARK BRETZ

INSIDE OUT

THE STORY

RATING: 8 out of 10

HERE IS NO QUESTIONing the fact that Joel and Ethan Coen have secured their chapter in the annals of filmmaking. Their command of comedy, irony, satire, relationships and character is staggering. They may strike out on occasion but they always swing for the fence; this film is no exception. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is a gifted folk singer with limited appeal, an unsupportive family and dwindling funds. His days cycle through as he tries to collect royalties, pay for his lover’s abortion, perform for tips and half-heartedly try to garner attention from the music industry. Llewyn himself, still reeling from his singing partner’s suicide, doesn’t seem all that interested in stopping his downward spiral. I honestly can’t tell you if I loved this movie or not, because frankly, I’m not sure I completely understood it. For such an introspective film there is something existential about it. I will say this: the acting is incredible. Oscar Isaac is so stunning in this role it’s hard to believe his talent has escaped notice thus far. His performance is beautifully nuanced and compelling—it’s so quietly spot on, he may not get any Oscar notice at all, and that’s a shame. The film itself is dark and flawed, but it’s worth seeing for Isaac’s performance alone… and of course the music.

NEW ON DVD

An ornate chair at stage left and a stately desk at stage right rather starkly adorn the stage for an appearance by one William-Henry Ireland in London in 1826. He’s there to publicly explain how—some 30 years earlier—he fooled everyone into believing that he had unearthed a treasure trove of original letters, poems and even a hitherto unknown full-length play by none other than William Shakespeare. Driven to forge such documents by an iron-willed and callous father who worshipped The Bard, young Ireland, churned out a succession of forgeries in an attempt to quell the elder Ireland’s insatiable thirst for all things Shakespearean. Alas, William-Henry met his Waterloo when he attempted to mount a full production of Vortiger, which he alleged was written by Shakespeare. As the premiere date approached, the show’s director and cast became increasingly suspicious; and when estimable Shakespearean scholar Edmond Malone studied a new book of ‘lost’ works by Shakespeare, he accused Ireland of fraud. Still, William-Henry was driven to produce his ‘masterpiece.’

HIGHLIGHTS Rick Creese, a lecturer for writing programs at UCLA, wrote this one-actor work after hearing the true story of notorious Shakespearean forger William-Henry Ireland. It premiered in Los Angeles just last year. The script is neatly packaged as two, 45-minute acts sandwiched around a 15-minute intermission. That’s a tidy and sufficient amount of time for The Midnight Company’s artistic director Joe Hanrahan to engage his audience with a droll performance as the mystifying William-Henry.

ELL, THE WEATHER outside may still be frightful, so this weekend may be perfect for popping some popcorn and settling in with a good film. COMEDY We’re the Millers A low-level pot dealer (Jason Sudeikis) creates a nuclear family that includes a stripper (Jennifer Aniston) to pose as vacationers in order to smuggle a drug shipment in from Mexico. The Way Way Back During a strained family vacation, a struggling kid finds friendship and solace at a local water park. DRAMA Jobs Call me crazy, but I found it really interesting. Ashton Kutcher stars in the title role. Fruitvale Station Ryan Coogler brings to the screen one tragic day in the real life of Oscar Grant, a Bay-area man trying to turn his life around.

Solemn Mockeries

ROMANCE The Spectacular Now It’s not Say Anything, but this story of an aimless highschool party boy who finds clarity with a quiet wallflower hits a lot of the same notes. SUSPENSE/THRILLER Closed Circuit It’s not without its flaws, but this thriller about a barrister (Eric Bana) defending a terrorist accused of bombing a London market has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. 2 Guns Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg star as two agents for rival agencies unknowingly working undercover in the same crime ring. The premise alone makes it worth the rental.

JANUARY 10, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

Hanrahan also portrays the cold, aloof elder Ireland, a man whose son refers to most often only as ‘Mr. Ireland.’ That’s the sort of heart-rending revelation that drives this fascinating but profoundly sad and true tale. Hanrahan glibly calls upon a variety of accidents and affectations in portraying more than a dozen characters, which serves effectively to break the monotony of a work performed by a single player. And director Sarah Whitney allows him plenty of room, which the versatile veteran delivers with finesse and tasty accomplishment.

DINING OUT

spicybits BY MATT SORRELL

Look for Seedz Cafe, a new vegetarian eatery, to open for business in early 2014 at 6344 South Rosebury in the DeMun neighborhood. The spot will feature an array of raw items, as well as smoothies and other plant-based specialties. The London Tearoom has announced it is moving from its downtown location to the newly revamped Hyde Park Beer Building on Morganford Road, across the street from Local Harvest Cafe. The first day of business at the new space is expected to be Feb. 1. The Gardens at Malmaison in St. Albans, Mo., has been through some changes since it started life as a barn in 1843; and now, it’s ready for yet another transformation: The Gardens and its adjacent property, The Studio Inn at St. Albans, have announced that improvements totaling more than $1.35 million are underway, including a vineyard. The Gardens will get four new guest cottages and a permanent outdoor pavilion for private parties, along with a complete kitchen remodel and expansion. Look for completion in summer 2014. A new 1-acre vineyard also is under development on the hill below The Studio Inn. The first planting is set for spring 2014, and mature grapes will be available in about three to five years. Cheers!

Winslow’s Home

Change is A Good Thing BY SIDNEY LEWIS

THINGS HAVE CHANGED QUITE A BIT SINCE our last visit to Winslow’s Home: Much of the shelving in the main retail area has been moved to accommodate more room for dining, and seating is now coordinated by a server at the bar area. There have been some changes in the back of the house, as well. Longtime chef Cary McDowell left last year for a new position as executive chef for Euclid Hospitality Group. He was replaced by Wil Fernandez-Cruz, who most recently was in charge of the kitchen at Ibby’s on Washington University’s Danforth Campus. While some things at Winslow’s Home may be a bit different, one aspect that hasn’t changed is the restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients and tasty food. Winslow’s Home has a highly seasonal menu that changes often, and it’s always fun to see what new items have been added since the last visit. This time around, we started off with a steaming bowl of creamy Sweet Potato Soup ($5), sprinkled with pumpkin seeds for some crunchy contrast, perfect for warding off the cold. Then, for something completely different, we paid homage to summer with the Egg Salad In A Jar ($8). This dish is a straight-ahead version of this classic picnic side, with some rocket salad on the side. This same salad makes an appearance on the plate next to the Falafel Burger ($9), which was our first entree. The ‘burger’ actually is a hefty chickpea patty on a bun, with a surprisingly spicy tzatziki sauce on the side. The falafel was extremely flavorful, but the bun tended to crumble a bit, making a knife and fork a necessity to finish it. This tasty patty may be better served

up solo or as a wrap. Despite its decidedly casual atmosphere, the menu at Winslow’s Home contains a fair number of dishes that would be right at home on the bill of fare at a more upscale eatery, like the Geisert Farm Pork Chop or the House-Made Potato Gnocchi ($16), which made the cut as entree No. 2. This bowl of tender dumplings is as good as any gnocchi dish we’ve had around town, and came mixed with steamed broccoli, plenty of Parmesan cheese and a whole-grain mustard sauce. While perusing the menu prior to making the final selection, the sauce gave us pause: Grain mustard seemed like too tangy of an accent for gnocchi, but luckily we took the plunge, and were pleasantly surprised. The sauce actually was quite mild and cut through the rich gnocchi quite nicely. While there was definitely more elbow room with the new table arrangements, the worn wood floors, tin ceiling and the lazily turning fans hanging from it ensure that Winslow’s Home still maintains the rustic, general-store charm that it’s been known for since it opened. The service seemed more coordinated than on previous visits, as well; and the wait for our table was relatively short given the fair amount of folks dining. The current incarnation of Winslow’s Home is proof that changes to an old favorite can sometimes be a good thing.

Facial Photo Rejuvination continued from page 30 as it stimulates your body to produce collagen,” says Nettie Mueth, a medical aesthetician with Medical Aesthetics Rx. “The green light helps to lighten pigment from sun damage. You can use both lights together as a treatment. The blue light again penetrates the skin and helps kill bacteria in and on the skin, so it helps with acne treatment.” Mueth says the LED feels warm and relaxing, and doesn’t cause the snapping sensation of BBL. However, BBL tends to produce results faster due to its more intense light energy. Both treatments are often combined with complementary procedures, such as Botox or facial peels, and experts stress the importance of sun protection at all times to help prevent further sun damage.

SKIN DEEP continued from page 31 takes place, the cells freeze and die, then the natural lymphatic system flushes out that fat. It takes about two weeks to start seeing results, and the best results are achieved in one to three months. It’s not a weight-loss procedure—a good candidate is someone with problem areas that will not go away like the hips or belly or back fat, not someone who is significantly overweight. One good thing about it is there’s no special diet or exercise; you don’t have to take something for it to work or drink lots of water or go run afterward. And there were 15 years of research before it was cleared, so there are a lot of studies that prove how the process works. How should people take care of their skin during the winter months? Some people have a hard time because they’re dry-oily, which is a hard combination. You want to hydrate, but then you feel greasy. The best thing to do is drink lots of water, make sure you use a good moisturizer and sunscreen to block out those elements that hit our face every day. With a proper skin-care regimen, you need to moisturize but also get some of that dry, dead skin off. When you have dead-skin buildup, anything you put on skin is just sitting there, not penetrating down. So you need to get it off and keep it hydrated afterward. To do that, you can use a mask and a microderm. Then make sure you’re protecting that face—we’re exposed to the environment every single day, summer or winter.

Junior League continued from page 18 about any legal issues you might have. It’s more than just education; it’s a one-stop resource fair.” Other long-term League projects include the St. Louis Family Theatre Series, now in its 26th year of providing children’s theater to inspire a love of reading; as well as the League Larks and Nightingales, who provide music therapy at venues such as senior living centers. Members also are enthusiastic about the League’s recent involvement with City Greens/ Food Desert Project, a co-operative grocery store run in collaboration with City Greens Produce to provide fresh produce to underserved residents in the Midtown area, Strasheim says. With an ever-growing volunteer base, Strasheim has high hopes that the Junior League will continue to impact the St. Louis community for many years to come. “We are just really focusing on our mission to promote volunteerism, develop the potential of women and improve the community through trained volunteers. The mission drives everything that we do.”
