CONTENTS SOCIETY IN LATE MARCH, A FEW HUNDRED ST. LOUIS LUMINARIES (AND APPARently, hundreds more of their closest friends, myself included) gathered to witness an elaborate, highly choreographed VIP grand-opening event to christen Ballpark Village. It had been a long time coming: I was still working as a news reporter when the idea of Ballpark Village was introduced. At the time, the concept seemed the precise definition of a pipe dream. But from the onset, the project’s two principals—the Cardinals and the Cordish company—had no doubt that, in time, Cardinals Nation would have this stay-and-play destination to extend the game-day experience for fans. And does it ever!

Ballpark Village is just one of the many things to get excited about this season. This week’s Take Me Out to the Ballgame special section counts the ways, including a peek at what’s new at the Cardinals Team Store and a declaration from one of our columnists (we’ll call him ‘FC’) that we live in the greatest era in Cardinals history—you heard it here first! Go Cards!

CONTR IBU TOR S

How are the Cards looking to you this season?

FRANK CUSUMANO OBVIOUSLY, THE HITTING AND DEFENSE have been disappointing so far. However, their starting pitching is so incredible, it can mask deficiencies. Bottom line: When the leaves turn brown, the Cardinals will be around.

ALICE HANDELMAN SINCE SO MANY OF OUR GAMES HAVE been on the road, our Cards have not enjoyed the home-field advantage. Although disappointed with our season’s beginning, I have confidence that by the end of the season, we will see the great Redbirds team that we all know and love.

KATIE YEADON SPEAKING FROM STRICTLY A FASHION point of view, nothing beats the Cardinals uniform! As for the baseball side, I would like to see more runs and fewer errors.

To celebrate the 800th birthday of the city’s namesake, LOUIS IX, the SAINT LOUIS ART MUSEUM has announced a special exhibition, Louis IX: King, Saint, Namesake, to open Aug. 29 and run through Nov. 2. The free, two-gallery exhibit will highlight exceptional art from the reign of Louis IX and later works inspired by him. Highlights from the first gallery include pages from the famed Morgan Library Picture Bible, a stellar example of Gothic manuscript illumination believed to have been commissioned by the king himself.

The second gallery, which focuses on the life and legacy of Louis, features works of art depicting the celebrated 13th-century monarch from the 17th, 19th and 20th centuries. Louis IX’s birthday was commemorated on April 25.

A major announcement from last month’s ARTrageous Gold Ball: Craft Alliance has changed its name to CRAFT ALLIANCE CENTER OF ART + DESIGN (CACAD) to better reflect its mission.

The organization, now in its 50th year, serves approximately 60,000 people a year. It works to reveal the power of craft through programming that uncovers its unique qualities, as well as its evolving role and potential for innovation.

An eighth-grader at Ladue Middle School has been recognized as an outstanding volunteer. SARAH EISENMAN was one of only two youth volunteers in the state to be awarded The Prudential Spirit of Community Award.

Sarah delivered more than 1,000 donated books and created a reading room for HavenHouse St. Louis, which provides accommodations for those who travel to St. Louis for medical treatment. As an honoree, Sarah received $1,000 and an all-expensepaid trip to Washington, D.C., to participate in national recognition events.

Way to go, Sarah!

ST. LOUIS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Patients & Families First

K

IDS AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM ST. Louis—and around the world—turn to St. Louis Children’s Hospital when they’re sick. And the reasons why are plentiful, says Dr. Brad Warner, the hospital’s surgeon-in-chief and a professor of surgery at Washington University School of Medicine. “We’re the largest pediatric surgery group in the region, and all of our surgeons are board-certified in pediatric surgery,” he says. “We provide some of the world’s most advanced medical technologies here, in a very caring and compassionate environment that puts the patient and their family first. We do a lot of things that are innovative, and I think we also do a great job in the more routine types of things, like hernias or appendicitis, or lumps and bumps.”

As the only Level 1 pediatric trauma center

certified by the American College of Surgeons in Missouri or Illinois, the hospital treats cases of trauma from across the region. “We take care of the most routine and also the most extremely complex and serious traumas,” Warner says.

Families from throughout the U.S. bring their children to St. Louis Children’s Hospital for management of inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease; as well as to the Fetal Care Center, which treats conditions ranging from abnormalities of the head, neck, heart and brain, to gastroschisis—an abdominal wall defect for which T.J. Oshie’s daughter was recently treated at the hospital, Warner says. “All of those things require multidisciplinary conferences, with input from various subspecialists all at once, to determine the optimal way to manage these children.”

And patients come from around the world—

recently, from regions including the Dominican Republic and Liberia—for advanced surgery on the esophagus, as well as other conditions, Warner adds.

Putting the patients first is a concept that is really taken to heart at the hospital, where Warner says, “The research that we’re doing really creates an environment where the children are exposed to the very finest treatment. We have an environment Continued on page 93

A

s the nation’s youngest c h a i r o f t h e Fre e d o m Fu n d Leadership Dinner, John Gaskin III has led the St. Louis County NAACP event to a sellout crowd two years in a row. This spring, the Ladue High School grad and Benedictine College student will go for a hat-trick. “My grandmother, Esther Haywood, is president of the organization in St. Louis,” he says, proudly. “The NAACP is in my bloodline.”

The organization’s local chapter, which works to eliminate racial discrimination and ensure political, educational, social and economic equal rights for everyone, will hold its 76th annual Freedom Fund Leadership Dinner on June 3 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. The gala, themed All in for Freedom and Equality, will begin with a reception at 5 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:45 p.m.

During the evening, 25 local contributors will be honored. NAACP national board chair Roslyn Brock, the event’s featured speaker, will receive The Lifetime Achievement Award for her

acclaimed roles as a national health care advocate and starting the NAACP health initiatives. “We didn’t have a health program before her,” Gaskin notes. As the youngest-ever national board chair, Brock also starting the annual NAACP Leadership 500 Summit, which brings together young professionals from across the nation to advocate for civil rights, diversity and inclusion. “She is bringing young people to the table to be involved in the conversation of civil rights, and has taken the organization to greater heights,” Gaskin explains.

Among additional honorees will be St. Louis Cardinals baseball legend Lou Brock and his wife, Rev. Jackie Brock. The couple will be recognized for their work with Old Newsboys Day, Lindenwood University, the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis and the Lou Brock Scholarship Foundation.

“They always are graciously giving of their time and money,” Gaskin says. Ameren president and CEO Warner Baxter is another honoree who will be lauded for contributions to the community.

needed in order to maintain the improvements.

“We’ve grown as an organization; and today, we provide capital project management, maintenance, operations, visitors’ services, and education assistance to the city,” says Hoffarth. “We work in partnership.”

COMMUNITY IMPACT: From the Boathouse to the Jewel Box, the Emerson Grand Basin to the Nathan Frank Bandstand, FPF has helped improve many of the landmark sites of St. Louis.

Outside of architectural and landscaping work, FPF runs a number of programs, such as the Summer Youth Experience—which brings 60 Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis children to the park for outdoor enjoyment and education—and the Voyage of Learning Teachers’ Academy. This eight-day program is focused on training teachers to use Forest Park as an outdoor classroom, says Hoffarth. An estimated 70,000 students have been impacted by the program, which is in its 14th year.

Additionally, FPF manages the park’s Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center; and

ON THE BOARD: STEVEN FINERTY “I think it’s the focal point of St. Louis for most people,” says FPF board chairman Steven Finerty. “All economic levels mingle in the park.

It has some of the greatest cultural institutions in the world, and they’re free. It almost has more open space than any other city park in the United States.”

Finerty says that the Hat Luncheon has an amazing turnout, and that it is the organization’s largest fundraiser of the year. “It’s a great way to 28

Finerty is a principal at Moneta Group and is chairman of Argent Capital Management. His nonprofit work extends beyond his involvement with FPF, as he serves as chairman for the St. Louis Symphony Endowment Trust, and is involved with the Saint Louis Zoo Association, John Burroughs School, and other area organizations.

MISSION: Ten million dollars—that’s approximately how much it costs annually to maintain St. Louis’ crown jewel, says Forest Park Forever (FPF) president and executive director Lesley Hoffarth. By providing volunteers, monetary contributions and general support, FPF is able to take on some of the responsibility of Forest Park and work together with the City of St. Louis to maintain and improve the beloved area.

HISTORY: Since its inception, FPF has worked alongside the City of St. Louis to better Forest Park. “We were founded in 1986 by a group of people sitting around the kitchen table saying, We have great childhood memories of the park, we hate that it’s falling apart—let’s do something about it,” says Hoffarth.

The deterioration had come after many years of deferred maintenance. At its start in 1876, the park was advertised as a way to get out of the city.

The area was used—and largely cleared—for the 1904 World’s Fair; Hoffarth says that the park is, in a way, still recovering from the Fair because of this clear-cutting, and most of the trees seen now were planted after the Fair. The next major changes came from park commissioner Dwight Davis, who Hoffarth says brought recreation to the park through activities like golf and tennis.

Then, during an approximate 50-year period of decline, the park began to fall apart. “It looked like a very sad, tired, one-time-beautiful place,” Hoffarth says.

So FPF stepped in to help. One hundred million dollars later, the ‘Restoring the Glory’ campaign brought some of the park’s icons back to life, wrapping up in 2003. After rebuilding much of the park, in partnership with the city, FPF decided to stay after realizing it would be

I AM HERE TO SAY THIS IS THE GREATEST ERA IN CARDINALS HISTORY. have ever had. Randal Grichuk, Stephen Piscotty and Oscar Taveras all could hit in the big leagues right now. The Cardinals are so deep that there really is nowhere to play them, not now or in the near future. Matt Holliday is under contract for two more years with a club option for a third year.

He is still really productive, too. The team has two centerfielders; and Allen Craig in right—if he’s right—could be their best offensive player. Kolten Wong could be a star, Matt Adams is on his way to being a star and Matt Carpenter already is a star.

And there is no organization that comes close to the Cardinals in terms of pitching: To have Joe Kelly, Lance Lynn, Shelby Miller, Wacha, Martinez and Rosenthal all 26 and under is an embarrassment of riches.

Game On! Cardinals Edition

BY FRANK CUSUMANO

K PHOTO BY SARAH CROWDER

IDS TODAY ARE SPOILED. WHEN I was growing up, the Cardinals went without a post season from 1969 ’til 1982. The Cardinals have been to the post-season 10 times since the year 2000. Kids expect it.

They think if the Cardinals are not playing baseball in October, there must be something wrong.

I am here to say this is the greatest era in Cardinals history. If you factor in the present, the future and the Busch Stadium experience, this is the best it’s ever been.

The Present I think when this roster is healthy, it’s actually better than last year’s World Series team. You are better at shortstop, third base and center field.

Your starting staff is better because you have Michael Wacha for a full season. Your bullpen will be better because of the return of Jason Motte to go along with Trevor Rosenthal and Carlos Martinez.

You have more speed. You will have better defense at second, third and center. They may not win quite as many games as last year because the schedule is more difficult playing the American League East.

However, this will be a better team in October. I mean, you may have Jhonny Peralta, hitting 20 homers, batting seventh. Instead of bringing Pete Kozma off the bench, it could be Mark Ellis. Jon Jay is a lifetime 0.292 hitter and he may not be good enough to start.

The Future Cards GM John Mozeliak told me the other day that their outfield in Memphis is the best they

The Busch Experience Have you been to Ballpark Village? It may have taken eight years, but it was worth the wait. The rooftop seats make you feel like you are in the ball park. No other city in the country has anything like it. You throw in Paddy O’s and the other fine establishments around Busch, and you feel like you’re at an SEC football game. It’s a little different than in the ’70s where you would go to the game, watch it played on astro-turf in a sterile stadium and then go home afterwards.

The phrase, Best Fans in Baseball, is thrown around a great deal. Who knows if it’s true? But Cardinals fans should be. I mean, if you have this kind of history, this kind of future and this kind of baseball experience, you likely should be supporting your team better than any fans in baseball.

BALLPARK VILLAGE

Where Redbirds Fans Roost

FOX SPORTS MIDWEST LIVE! Termed the ‘living room’ of the house that is Ballpark Village, FOX Sports Midwest Live! opens to a twostory atrium where guests can sit and drink, dine or enjoy live entertainment on the stage.

Don’t Miss: • A fully retractable roof offers an open-air experience on nice days while protecting from the elements • Watch an away game from the second-floor mezzanine for a stadium-like experience • Live pre- and post-game analysis for Fox Sports Midwest is broadcast from the second-floor studio.

PHOTOS BY SARAH CROWDER

The long wait is over and Ballpark Village—a dream concocted by the Cardinals during the construction of the new Busch Stadium—finally is reality. We toured the facility with Chase Martin, development director for The Cordish Companies (which developed it in partnership with the Cardinals) to give you the inside scoop on its can’t-miss features. And this is just the first phase of development—stay tuned for office, hotel and residential plans to expand the project in upcoming years.

BUDWEISER BREWHOUSE With various areas designed to fit any crowd’s mood—from lunch to dinner, game day or latenight drinks—the Budweiser Brewhouse constitutes one of Ballpark Village’s flagship tenants.

Don’t Miss: • This one-of-a-kind project was designed by Anheuser-Busch. Unique features—such as an AB emblem in the outdoor beer garden, taken from a historic ice house in Earth City—are reminders of the company’s St. Louis roots.

• The first-floor restaurant serves upscale pub fare, but don’t be fooled. Yes, you can get your burger and fries, but also keep an eye out for fish tacos, tuna tartare and other unexpected offerings.

• To keep your party’s momentum going after eating, visit the second-floor lounge.

CARDINALS NATION Get your Cardinals fix while dining surrounded by team memorabilia, or enjoy one of three patios or two bars with plenty of flat-screen TVs tuned to the game.

Don’t Miss: • On the second floor, visit Cardinals greats like Dizzy Dean and Stan the Man in the team’s first-ever Hall of Fame, then see authentic team artifacts in the adjoining museum.

• For an all-inclusive experience, snag one of 334 seats in the AT&T Rooftop overlooking the stadium. You know that big hole in the stadium’s outfield? This is what that was designed for: “We viewed the stadium as incomplete until we were done here—it was like a smile without a tooth,” Martin says.

ET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT I DON’T LIKE ranking films. First of all, it’s an open invitation for people to tell you what an idiot you are: How could you possibly think Animal House is funnier than Young Frankenstein, you moron? Secondly, my list is constantly in flux. Depending on the day, the weather or the couch, I may decide Forrest Gump is a better film than Silence of the Lambs. OK, that’s a lie, I would never decide that, but you see my point.

Which leads us to today’s assignment: the five best baseball movies of all time. Now, if I were tasked with choosing 10—and in no particular order—I think I could rally a consensus. Moreover, to be considered a baseball movie, it has to be about baseball. I mean, was Field of Dreams really about baseball? Plus, I can’t stomach the thought of Kevin Costner being on the list twice. So without further ado, here’s my top five baseball movies (and the five runners-up): 1) Bull Durham Susan Sarandon’s monologue about worshiping at the church of baseball would alone shoot this movie to the top of the list. Add in some brilliant acting by rookie Tim Robbins and one of the smartest scripts ever, and it’s an easy pick.

2) Eight Men Out If you’ve never seen this stirring John Sales film about the fix of the 1919 World Series and the disgraced Chicago Black Sox, do so post haste. D.B. Sweeney is Oscar-worthy in his touching performance as backwoods phenom Shoeless Joe Jackson.

3) The Natural There’s always lots of analysis that accompanies this movie: the religious overtones, the existential aspects. It may be a hot topic at film school, but it also is a flat-out great baseball movie.

Moneyball

The Rookie

4) Bang the Drum Slowly I’m not much for tear-jerkers, but this stirring film about the bond between a high-powered pitcher and his best friend, a slow-witted catcher (newcomer Robert De Niro) who is dying of Hodgkin’s disease, is inspiring.

5) The Rookie This selection may be met with raised eyebrows; if so, then you haven’t seen it. Dennis Quaid stars as a high-school science teacher and coach who loses a bet with his team and tries out to play in the majors—as a 35-year-old rookie.

42

Rounding out the top 10: Gehrig, who died of ALS at age 37.

6) Moneyball Lots of Oscar nods for this charming movie about the mathematics of the game.

7) Major League For hockey, it’s Slapshot; for football, it’s The Replacements; for baseball, it’s Major League.

8) The Pride of the Yankees Tear-jerker No. 2. This is the incredible, moving story of Yankees legendary first baseman Lou

SARAH BRIGGS DISK EARRINGS

COLORED SUNGLASSES

LOOKING FOR THAT WEAR-EVERYWHERE-WITH-EVERYTHING summer earring? Sarah Briggs has designed the perfect one. Her intricate disc earring has a low-key Bohemian vibe that pairs fabulously with jeans or a cocktail dress. Made of 14-karat goldfill and semi-precious stones and available in two sizes, the disk earring has been the line’s top-seller for six years— likely due to her huge celebrity following (Jessica Biel, Reese Witherspoon and Oprah are fans, to name a few). And at less than $100 for a pair, there’s no excuse not to add these to your summer jewelry rotation.

THE VERY COLORFUL 1980S CONTINUES TO INSPIRE FASHION, AND the sunglasses market is no exception. A rainbow of rims is the trend for summer, so brighten up your look with sunnies in a bold hue.

Line I Love JOIE IF THERE’S ONE THING MY CLOSET CAN’T LIVE without, it would be my Joie blouses. They are beautifully made, extremely versatile and have a timeless design. But it’s not just the blouses that make this California line great. The floral print pant has been a hot seller for spring, and its jeans are becoming a must-have. Launched in 2001 and originally known for its signature cargo pants, Joie has emerged as a lifestyle brand with a complete collection of ready to wear, accessories and even a fragrance. The line is designed for the woman who enjoys feeling casual, comfortable and chic. That’s the thing I think I love most about this line: The pieces make you feel put-together and stylish without looking like you’re trying too hard.

And because the aesthetic is so clean and fresh, you won’t feel like you look like everyone else on the street.

Joie is available at Cha Boutique, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue

What’s News in Fashion

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

NEW LOCATION FOR CITY SPROUTS AFTER FIVE YEARS AT its last location, local children’s store City Sprouts has moved from the Delmar Loop to the Colonial Marketplace.

“I love how bright and airy it is—we have some wonderful skylights, so it’s very open,” says owner Molly Curlee of the new location. “We’re able to mechandize our clothing better…because we have the wall space to do it.”

City Sprouts no longer will carry strollers or car seats, but Curlee says the shop will stock more clothing, including attire for pre- and early-teens by fall 2014. In this new store, customers should expect “more brands made in the United States, and hard-to-find clothing brands that are only available in a few select boutiques in the U.S.” City Sprouts currently is celebrating its ninth birthday, with the ‘City Sprouts Birthday Celebration’ sale happening on May 2.

YLANG YLANG MOVING SOON

ALSO COMING TO THE COLONIAL MARKETPLACE IS JEWELRY store YLANG YLANG, which will be relocating from Plaza Frontenac.

This fine designer jewelry store will reside in the freestanding building of the Marketplace, with a private, soft-launch for clients, followed by a grand opening.

“It feels like a house,” says owner Julie Ettinger. “It’s really going to be super-cute; we’ll have our patio with wrought iron gates and French doors.” Some changes to the store include additional product and price points; more exclusive bridal pieces; a ‘men’s room’ hang-out space with coffee bar, seating and television; and a private meeting room.

YLANG YLANG plans to open its new location in summer 2014.

THE WOMAN’S EXCHANGE

PHOTOS BY SARAH CROWDER

CHERRY DRESSES AND THAT FAMOUS SALAD: TWO THINGS THE Woman’s Exchange is famous for. But beyond the tea room and darling garments, GM John Bantle says, is so much more.

The Woman’s Exchange was created 130 years ago, with the mission of helping women who help themselves. Destitute women were encouraged to sell their handmade goods through the shop, giving them a chance to earn a livelihood and support their families. Today, the nonprofit works with approximately 150 needy consignors from across the country. Many consignors depend heavily on this income, Bantle says. “We have one lady in Tennessee who’s so poor she couldn’t even afford the postage to send us the stuff,” he says. “We would send her fabric and give her a prepaid postage envelope so she could send it back to us. People don’t know that while they paid $100 for a dress, a portion of that goes to help people.”

Consignors also use their skills in the Woman’s Exchange kitchen. After the tea room closes for lunch, consignors are invited to use the kitchen to make baked goods, which are then sold in the store. Much of the boutique and kitchen is staffed by volunteers, who go to great lengths to help customers. “We had a lady who used to come in, and lives in Massachusetts now,” Bantle says. “All she’s been doing is asking her daughter when she’s going to the Exchange. So we overnighted her three Exchange salads. We will do anything for anybody to make them happy.”

Store hours: Mon.-Fri.: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sat.: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tea room hours: Mon.-Sat.: 11:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

We are a full service needlepoint shop, conveniently located, offering supplies, finishing, framing, trunk shows, classes (both in-house and with national visiting teachers) and custom designs. Our thread walls are an amazing sight and offer selections not found elsewhere in the area.

We welcome new stitchers every day whether advanced or a beginner. Stop by soon to see our colorful space and meet our amazing staff.

Cleanse and tone—two essential steps to ensure that we put our best face forward on a daily basis. Here, we present you with our selections for cleanser-and-toner duos.

PHOTO BY SARAH CROWDER

1. The Fabulous Foaming Face Wash ($22) from BLISS is the line’s best-selling cleanser for good reason: Soft, round exfoliator beads remove dirt and makeup, while calming the skin with soothing botanicals. Combine it with the Daily Detoxifying Facial Toner ($26) to soothe the skin and minimize pores. Available at Soft Surroundings.

2. Banish impurities and pamper the driest skin with GUERLAIN’s rich Secret de Purete Cleansing Cream ($71). Follow with Super Aqua Lotion ($52) for skin that’s radiant and velvety to the touch. Available exclusively at Dillard’s Galleria.

3. LA MER’s Cleansing Gel ($75) is light and oil-free, and works to remove excess sebum without irritating, drying or stripping the skin.

The Mist ($60) is formulated with botanical extracts to refresh, hydrate and rebalance skin (a live magnet in the bottle continually charges the ingredients). Available at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue.

4. It can’t get any fresher than LUSH’s Angels on Bare Skin Facial Cleanser ($16), rich in natural kaolin clay for deep-cleaning, while ground almonds gently exfoliate dead skin. The

soothing, herbal Eau Roma Water ($10) has rose and lavender essential oils to treat dryness, redness or irritation. Available at LUSH St. Louis Galleria and Macy’s West County Center.

5. ESTEE LAUDER’s Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Crème Cleanser/Moisture Mask ($25) is nonfoaming and hydrating. The Multi-Action Toning Lotion/Refiner ($25) contains a gentle exfoliator to reveal brighter skin. Available at Dillard’s Galleria and other fine department stores.

What are some tips for getting perfect skin?

Look at your face objectively. We fall into routines with our makeup.

You have to look in the mirror and think, Is this the right color for me now? Is this moisturizer the right consistency? We change our shoes based on the weather; and our skin care products should change, too, or the skin can become dehydrated.

For that time when winter is over, and summer isn’t quite here yet, MAC has Prep & Prime Pure Radiance, which is a great in-between product. It’s a hybrid primer with a tint of yellow in it. It helps oil control and also dehydration—which are two opposing things, and you wouldn’t think you could do both with one product. It was developed originally for Nigerian women in France, because a lot of products can turn their skin ashen, but it can be used for any skin tone.

Another tip is to only use powder where you need it—not everywhere. Again, it’s about not getting stuck in a routine.

What are some summer color trends?

We’re seeing a lot of whimsical and sweet colors, which MAC is really playing up in its Playland collection. These colors have a real clarity— pure, raw color for that natural flush that you can’t achieve with muted colors. The other great thing is that they’re easy to apply in a feathery look with your fingertip, and you can wear them either very soft or build them up for a pop of color.

Also, a little bit of gold can work for anybody—our Playland lipstick is a metallic gold that you can use to layer over those clear colors if you have lighter skin; or if you have a darker skin tone, it will be more natural, like a little bit of honey on the lips.

How is doing a runway look different from something for daily wear?

It’s funny, because in New York, I’ve noticed, the average woman probably wears less makeup than a woman in St. Louis. There, it’s all about the fashion, and the hair and makeup can be a little more played down. Here, there’s a little more interest in trying something different with the makeup, creating effects—not in a garish way, but a very approachable glamour. I wear a lot of makeup for someone in New York, but it’s actually on the softer end for someone in St. Louis. The women here want to look like they have made an effort, and I like that.

Looks can be quite severe in fashion shows, because they’re always referencing a particular era—the ’70s or the ’20s, for example.

When it comes to daily wear, your inspiration might be more topical—something you saw on a TV show or in a magazine. So there’s a different reference point for inspiration.

Do you have any special makeup tricks?

I find it’s helpful to match your foundation to your shoulder, as opposed to the wrist or hands. It’s a good in-between part of the body that gets just a little bit of sun, and it almost always is spot-on.

Also, every woman needs a template to start out with—a good foundation, mascara and also a neutral, matte, peach-toned eye shadow.

Then, you can accessorize with your makeup.

UP-AND-COMERS

Names to Know

By Blaise Hart-Schmidt

You may or may not have heard of Jovita Foster, Stephanie Leffler or Dr. Catherine Appleton, three women who are up-and-comers in the business world—but you should get used to hearing their names. Leading their industries with confidence, compassion and fierce determination, these powerhouses are transforming the future of their fields and quickly becoming some of St. Louis’ best.

Jovita Foster, Armstrong Teasdale

W

hen it comes to her professional future, Jovita Foster wants just one thing: more challenges.

Foster already has created a successful career as an employment lawyer at Armstrong Teasdale. She started at the law firm as an intern, and has worked her way up to an ownership position. In addition to numerous awards and recognitions, Foster has attained several federal court summary judgments

for a wide range of clients.

Foster describes herself as “tenacious, confident and optimistic,” but it’s taken a lot more to get where she is today, including having confidence.

“The confident part is going into a situation and knowing that I’m capable of doing a wonderful job at this,” she says. “Knowing it and not having to have anyone to tell me that: I believe I’m one of the best in town. That came from a lot of hard work and slugging it out when I needed to slug it out, case by case, problem by problem, issue by issue.”

As the chair of Armstrong Teasdale’s Diversity Committee, Foster is dedicated to giving women and minorities a better chance at success in the workplace. She says she’s proud to work for a firm that is invested in diversity and equality, though society still has room to improve. “I’m excited to be the one who crafts strategies and initiatives that our firm executes to increase diversity in our organization,” she says. “I really believe that if my daughter were to decide to practice law, she’s going to have a much better workplace than I have.”

Foster suggests that women in the business world find criticism and advice wherever they can, but to develop their own road map to success, and do what is right for them.

“My parents were great at teaching me to not

expect that the journey is going to be an easy one,” she says. “There are all sorts of challenges that everyone faces along the way in getting where they want to go. I’ve learned to be excited about the journey, and that in and of itself is worthwhile and fulfilling. If you can really enjoy that process, it makes for a very rewarding career and life.”

PROJECT #478

Updating this inspiring historic Webster home cannot be captured in words! These seem fitting:“You can’t escape the past in Paris, and yet what’s so wonderful about it is that the past and present intermingle so intangibly that it doesn’t seem to burden.”

Stephanie Leffler, CrowdSource

S

tephanie Leffler is a problem solver, she says, “almost to a fault.”

Leffler is the CEO and co-owner of CrowdSource, a local company that formed when Leffler and her business partner, Ryan Noble, created a better solution to a problem than anything else that existed. By using hundreds or even thousands of remote workers to complete tasks for clients, including Staples, Coca Cola and Target, CrowdSource is transforming the traditional hiring and employment process. The company is hardly Leffler’s first success: in 2006, Leffler and Noble sold their e-commerce company, MonsterCommerce, after it reached $20 million in sales. They then went on to create Juggle.com, which paved the way for CrowdSource. In its third year, CrowdSource, which is based in Swansea, Illinois, employs 50 team members and more than 200,000 remote workers. Leffler says she’s excited to be creating a new way of doing business.

“We talk about what our platform does for companies, but what it does for individual workers is really powerful,” she says. “It’s an incredibly meritocracy, democratic system of work…

Your connections and education don’t matter as long as you’re smart and you work hard and you choose tasks you’re capable of doing, and there’s tasks of all different levels in our system.”

Leffler credits her success to a combination

“Whether it’s a job or your company, or you just want something, don’t give up.” of a lot of hard work and a bit of luck. Watching others succeed, she says, motivates her. While no one can know the future of CrowdSource, Leffler says she hopes the company will continue to grow as well as it has been, and will take it as far as it can go.

Recently, Leffler gave a keynote speech to a group of young female scholarship winners.

She gave them four pieces of advice: Learn to shake hands. Keep a to-do list. Use LinkedIn to network. And, most important, don’t give up.

“Whether it’s a job or your company, or you just want something, don’t give up,” she says.

“Maybe don’t keep coming at it the same way, but you’ll ultimately make it happen if you care enough and are willing to work hard enough.”

Dr. Catherine Appleton, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University

F

rom very early on, Dr. Catherine Appleton says, she was interested in science.

Her mother, a nurse, encouraged her to pursue her interests and become a doctor. In med school, Appleton says she really enjoyed whatever rotation she was studying at the time. “As I went through radiology training, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to sub-specialize,” she says. “Breast imaging is the perfect marriage for me between imaging, patient contact and procedures.”

In her position as the chief of breast imaging at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University (she’s also affiliated with Siteman Cancer Center and Barnes-Jewish Hospital), Appleton says she strives to be the best she can in whatever she’s doing. “Each mammogram I’m reading, each procedure I’m doing, each patient interaction I’m having, is critical to that patient,” she says. “You have to strive to be excellent at all times.”

Appleton says she’s lucky to work at Washington University, and with mentors who have helped her along the way. But it wasn’t just superb mentorship that has taken her so far.

“It was a lot of hard work,” she says. “There was a lot of hard work involved, and burning the candle

At the end of the day you’ve got to show up and do it.”

Working in breast imaging can be difficult— Appleton says she often sees patients on the worst day of their lives. But she’s inspired by their spirit and determination to take on a diagnosis head-on.

Her goal is to make a meaningful contribution to women’s health. “I hope… to further advance the mission of breast cancer screening on a local and

Q&A with Stacey Brooks Delo of Maybrooks.com

WHEN STACEY BROOKS DELO HAD HER FIRST CHILD IN 2010, she also had two college degrees, more than a decade of work experience and a successful career as a reporter and producer for The Wall Street Journal Digital Network in tow. But she found that in order to be a good employee and a good mom, she needed more job flexibility.

So, she was able to negotiate her work hours down to three days a week. While it was an ideal situation for her family, she wondered what other working moms do when faced without an answer to this work-life balance issue. After searching for resources and coming up short, she decided to leave her job in 2012 and launch Maybrooks. com: an online community where smart moms find flexible jobs, get inspired and connect with each other. To find out more about Maybrooks.com and how Delo juggles her work and family commitments, LN recently spoke via phone with her from her San Francisco home—where the tiny voices of her almost 4-year-old daughter, Rory, and 2-year-old son, Toby, could be heard murmuring in the background as she worked.

Describe how Maybrooks.com works.

Our goal is to be the go-to resource for women looking for highend, meaningful, flexible job opportunities. The site is organized into three main sections that allow for that to happen and also allow for employers to find qualified candidates. On our site, 50 percent of women have graduate degrees and six to 20 years of work experience across all industries and expertises.

How can moms navigate the site?

The site is easy to navigate: You can search for flexible jobs, and you can get inspired by other working moms—we spotlight lots of great moms who have very interesting careers. It also encourages women to connect, and share ideas and resources. It’s all about finding jobs, getting inspired and connecting.

What other tools does the site offer moms?

We created an interesting tool where, if moms who are looking for jobs and know it to be a good, flexible job for another mom, we post it so another mom can see it. It goes back to our tagline: Where smart Moms help each other find flexible careers. We want women to have the power to help each other and this tool allows them to do that.

I FEEL LIKE I GREW UP WITH A GREAT WORKING-MOM MODEL. FROM THE TIME WHEN I WAS 10, SHE WORKED, AND I GREW UP WITH THAT BEING WHAT I KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD WAS POSSIBLE. SHE WAS A FLEXIBLE ROLE MODEL FOR ME AND MY SISTER, WHO ALSO WORKS A FULL-TIME JOB. STACEY BROOKS DELO, Maybrooks.com

What is the significance of the Maybrooks name?

The company is named after my great-grandmother, who went to work during the Great Depression out of necessity, and then worked for 35 years because she loved working. We wanted to name the site after someone inspirational because some women work because they want to, and some women work because they have to.

What challenges do today’s working moms face, and how does Maybrooks help?

In many cases—for women who want to work—it’s being able to find the right fit at the right time, where they are able to contribute in a meaningful way to companies without feeling the guilt of not being at home as a mom. The guilt is the biggest challenge we see, that’s why every company on our site has to answer the question: What makes this job mom-friendly? It creates trust between the person and those looking to hire. We know a lot of (mom-friendly) companies exist, and we want to be able to tell that story on our platform.

How do you personally juggle a career and motherhood?

It’s really about defining the boundaries that work for you and holding true to them. So, I schedule meetings between drop-off and pick-up of the kids—I call it the bus-stop gig. And I’m back online at night after everyone goes to bed. I think that the juggle is really about being very clear about what works for you and your family.

Did you have a working mom?

I feel like I grew up with a great working-mom model. From the time when I was 10, she worked, and I grew up with that being what I knew and understood was possible. She was a flexible role model for me and my sister, who also works a full-time job. Probably a large part of why I wanted to start the site was because I’d seen how it could work. (Editor’s note: Delo, who grew up in St. Louis, is the daughter of Sherry Delo of Delo Advisors.)

What is your advice to working moms and those heading back into the workforce?

Have comfort in knowing that there are companies that want to hire you, and want to benefit from the experience and talent that you bring to the table. There are great opportunities out there for you. What we’re finding is that women are so highly educated, really want to contribute—and sometimes need to financially contribute— to their families, and they also want to be good moms. There’s a way to do that, and Maybrooks can be a resource to help you get there.

The Doctor Is In

Hush, Little Baby...

M

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

y daughter and son-inlaw recently took a trip and generously gave my wife and me the opportunity to babysit their three children: ages 2, 4 and 6. This was a fun, but exhausting, experience.

There’s a reason that people in their 60s don’t have really young children! It was during our time with them that we were reminded how important sleep is to all of us.

Sleep (or lack of it) and problems getting kids to experience it, is critically important to the child and to everyone else living in the home. There’s a link between sleep, fatigue and a child’s behavior. Adults with fatigue may act tired and have no energy. But often, when children are tired, they act just the opposite with extreme behaviors and excess energy.

How much sleep a child needs is age-dependent.

Even then, it can vary within the age group. Some adults function with six hours of sleep nightly,

while some barely make it on eight to nine hours.

It’s the same with children.

Babies sleep irregularly because their internal clocks are immature and undeveloped. Most newborns sleep about 16 to 20 hours daily. The sleep of a baby is generally regulated by her appetite. A baby will wake when hungry—often every two to three hours for the first few weeks of life, and then every four to five hours for weeks thereafter.

By the age of 3 months, about 90 percent of babies sleep a consistent five- or six-hour stretch.

Some suggestions for helping your baby sleep include observing him for signs of fatigue. You’ll

learn how to tell when your baby is ready for a nap or bedtime based on observed repeated behaviors like fussing, eye-rubbing, etc. Put your baby in the crib when he’s drowsy but still awake. Learning to go to bed and fall asleep while still awake is a difficult but necessary task. Always place your baby to sleep on his back with his face away from blankets and soft items.

By 6 months, an infant may have established regular nap and sleep patterns. Remember, babies are restless sleepers and often arouse for brief Continued on page 93

Visitation Academy As the school year wraps up, so does the first year of greenhouse growing at Visitation Academy—and for those Lower School and Montessori students involved with the grow-a-pizza program, this means it’s almost time to eat.

Children have been growing onions, tomatoes, oregano and more through the cross-curricular program, which links the greenhouses to language arts, technology and math. First-grade students have been Tweeting about the growth of their plants, while second-graders have used blogs and third-graders created iBooks using iPads.

The focus is on what the plants are doing: How much have they grown? Do they need to be repotted? What do they look like now?

Lower School principal Margaret Karl says the greenhouses will continue to be used during the next school year. “We have just had so much fun with the greenhouses, and tying them into cross-curricular programs,” she says. “We still want to get more involved in teaching our children [that] they can take things they grow right to the table.”

The end of the year means the conclusion of many other projects, as well. For example, Karl notes that fifth- and first-grade students have been working together on books, which they soon will put together and bind.

“They will have a day when they will share the books with us,” says Karl. A student-family pancake breakfast also is planned before the school year ends on May 23. Enrollment is still open for the 2014-2015 school year.

Helping Kids Find their ‘Force’

Q&A

W

HEN LISA ROBERTS WAS 28, she was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Through her treatment journey, Roberts sought and benefited from a variety of complementary and alternative with Lisa Roberts therapies. That experience opened the door to Roberts’ passion for sharing her knowledge with others as a yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner.

Roberts now works with pediatric oncology patients at a major children’s hospital in St. Louis, finding playful and child-friendly ways to teach individuals and small groups how to use breathing, yoga and meditation for pain control and relaxation. She recently published Breathe, Chill: A Handy Book of Games and Techniques Introducing Breathing, Meditation and Relaxation to Kids and Teens.

How exactly does yoga help young cancer patients?

When kids are hospitalized, it’s stressful. Kids experience stress and anxiety just like adults, and the techniques we teach in yoga are a healthy distraction for them. It’s fun, and at the same time, it’s benefiting them. These are tools they can use for life. It’s very empowering for them.

How do you adapt yoga techniques for this young audience?

I make a point of using empowering words. For example, we might do ‘Star Wars yoga’ and talk about the Force. I ask if they have a Force within them.

At first they say, “No.” Then I ask, “What about your breath?” And we focus on how they can use their breath—their Force. Then they retain that and can

How do hospitalized children actually perform yoga poses?

It depends on the nature of their hospitalization, and everything’s adaptable. It can be done in the bed if they can’t get up. If they’re feeling so-so and want to get out of bed and sit in a chair, then we’ll do that. Some just want to do guided meditation and relaxation techniques. It really just depends on the individual needs of the patient.

What kinds of benefits have you seen among your young clients?

Based on surveys that parents have filled in, there are comments about it relieving the kids’ stress and anxiety. Recently, a gentleman contacted the pain clinic and described what we did with his son as ‘a magic pill’ that helped his pain.

The yoga, meditation and breathing speak for themselves. When I get this feedback, it means the world to me. But one point I do want to make is that it’s not a magic pill—it’s within you. You have this ability in yourself, and I’m just guiding you to access it.

In addition to her work with hospitalized children, Roberts has a ‘mobile yoga studio’ and teaches individual or group sessions in a variety of locations. Learn more at yoyoyogatherapy.com.

PARENTING

IN FACT, IT IS BEST TO PREPARE FOR LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL BEFORE THE FIRST HIGHSCHOOL BELL RINGS.

Conversations about College

I

BY RUSSELL HYKEN, PH.D.

STARTED TALKING TO MY KIDS ABOUT their college education about a week after they were born. OK, that is a bit of exaggeration, but it is not too far from the truth. Education is important to any new parent, and I spent my 30s having children and pursuing graduate studies. During that decade of my life, my own education and my children’s future consumed my thoughts.

Parents have a huge influence on their kids, and children will adopt family ideals if Mom and Dad share their beliefs. Therefore, I recommend that college conversations begin when the little one enters pre-school. The purpose of these higher education dialogues, however, should not be about where to attend; rather, parents should share their college experiences, talk about the importance of education, and explain how some careers—such as being a doctor or a teacher—require many years

of school. Setting the stage for lifelong learning begins in the early years.

Serious conversations about attending college should start during seventh and eighth grade. In fact, it is best to prepare for life after high school before the first high-school bell rings. Talk with your eager adolescent about choosing college preparatory classes, participating in community service and developing personal talents. With the right encouragement, a child could easily develop a passion that guides him to future educational and life goals.

In ninth grade, the college indoctrination

process truly begins. Students take standardized tests, complete interest inventories, and participate in initial meetings with their guidance counselor.

These exploratory steps pave the way to junior year when students and families should become motivated about researching their options.

There are more than 9,000 colleges and universities, and even the most organized student will benefit from parental assistance. Don’t, however, be the over-involved ‘helicopter’ mom who hovers over every move or the ‘talent-scout’ dad who tries to brand their teenager and broker the best deal.

It’s more important to ask your maturing child the right questions, listen, and be supportive.

Size truly matters. More relationally oriented individuals tend to prefer the intimate classroom environment of a smaller campus. These schools Continued on page 93

A Class Act

BY BLAISE HART-SCHMIDT

Q&A with Thad Falkner, head of school

What sets The Wilson School apart?

Any great school makes sure that what students experience is as best as can be imagined. The most powerful experience for students comes from teachers. We have an unusual commitment to professional development through time and resources. We outpace the average expenditures recommended by the National Association of Independent Schools by at least two to three times every year. That is partially spent on sending teachers to conferences and seminars, but also by having our teachers spend time in schools of best practice. We invest in our teachers, and see the outcome of that investment in our students.

PHOTO BY SARAH CROWDER

What’s your favorite Wilson tradition?

Every day is great at Wilson, but graduation really comes to mind. It shows students who have experienced a Wilson education and the families we’ve partnered with. Our students each deliver a graduation speech, and we see how they have worked with teachers, crafting his or her voice. The significance of their experience with teachers, friends and the life of the school always is unique and touching. We also see how poised they are, as well as their appreciation for the teachers and parents for helping them. Their gratitude shows a higher level of maturity and attitude. They are prepared for secondary school and are looking forward to that; but selfishly, I like that they are going to miss us, too.

What would people be surprised to learn about Wilson?

Our international population is very robust; about 25 percent of our families have at least one parent born outside of the U.S. We represent a population that reaches 23 countries and counting. We might be a small school, but everything we do is through a world view.

Mission Statement: To prepare students for success in an ever-changing world, our exceptional educators combine classic and innovative methods within a warm, nurturing environment.

ALTERNATIVE ALLERGY RELIEF

Home-Remedied I T’S SPRING, AND THE SNEEZING HAS begun. But you don’t have to suffer: A number of home remedies and complementary therapies can help relieve mild seasonal allergy symptoms.

Although severe allergies often require medical intervention, “Some studies have shown that some of the home remedies and alternative therapies do provide relief in some patients,” says Dr. Michael Borts of the Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Care Center. Borts also is a board member for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation St. Louis Chapter.

“If symptoms are mild, they can replace other over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription medication in some patients.”

Dr. Jason Wibbenmeyer of Innovative Health Partners is a chiropractor offering integrative therapies, such as Chinese medicine, acupuncture, clinical nutrition and homeopathy. He often advises allergy patients to try a combination of hands-on treatment and home remedies.

“The thing to look out for is that some natural remedies for allergies contain herbs,”

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

Wibbenmeyer says. “While herbs are very effective to help treat something like allergies, herbs act on a medicinal level, and you want to consult your natural health physician to reduce drug interactions. Saying this, I see several patients slowly replace their OTC or prescription medications for allergies, whether it is their own doing or monitored by their medical doctor.”

Wibbenmeyer notes that he never recommends patients stop taking already prescribed medications. He does, however, offer patients a variety of pharmaceutical-grade supplements and homeopathic remedies to help relieve allergy symptoms.

Recommendations are based on each individual patient’s needs and health status.

Borts and Wibbenmeyer explained some of the most popular allergy home remedies: The neti pot is used to flush saline through the nose, washing out pollen, bacteria or other irritants. “When used as directed, this is very safe Continued on page 93

HPV & HEAD AND NECK CANCER

Prevention is the Best Protection

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

F

OR YEARS, HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) has been clearly linked to cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine could help decrease cervical cancer cases dramatically if administered to adolescents and young adults prior to infection. And because HPV also causes some cases of head and neck cancer, there’s even more reason to be proactive about prevention, experts say.

HPV is linked to some cases of cancer in the oropharynx, the part of the throat at the back of the mouth that includes tonsils and the back portion of the tongue. It has not been connected to other types of head and neck cancer. Yet because oropharyngeal cancer is often asymptomatic in its early stages, most cases are diagnosed only after the cancer has metastasized to lymph nodes in the neck, causing a palpable lump.

Dr. Bruce Haughey, director of the Head and Neck Cancer Center with Washington University Physicians, says that it’s routine to screen for HPV in conjunction with oropharyngeal cancer diagnosis. “The main reason is that the clinical behavior is very different for the HPV-related tumors versus

the non-HPV-related tumors,” he says. “That then gives us some information to take to the patient in terms of the outlook of their disease and how we’re going to treat it.”

Patients whose tumors are HPV-positive have a better prognosis than those whose cancer is primarily related to smoking or alcohol use. “As of yet, there’s no prospective, randomized trial investigating outcomes comparing HPV-positive versus HPV-negative patients,” notes Dr. Mark Varvares, director of Saint Louis University Cancer Center and a SLUCare otolaryngologist. “But what we know from retrospective data analysis is that the patients who are HPV-positive in the oropharynx have a much better prognosis than those patients who are HPV-negative. What we also know is that the HPV-negative patients many times don’t respond as well to therapy, regardless of what we use.”

Survivorship for head and neck cancer in general is about 70 percent, adds Dr. Amit Bhatt, a St. Luke’s Hospital radiation oncologist. He cites a 2010 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that looked at three-year oropharyngeal

cancer survival without the cancer progressing during that time. “They found that patients who were HPV-positive did better than those patients who were HPV-negative: HPV-positive patients were 74 percent versus 43 percent,” he says.

Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination. “We know that the HPV-positive patients need to have the same aggressive treatment we’ve been giving them for decades,” Vavares says. “If you have an advanced HPV-negative tonsil cancer, you’re going to get high-dose radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

HOME GROPIUS HOUSE

An Icon of Design

O

NE OF THE OPPORTUNIties that I have as an instructor at Maryville University is to assign students research work on some of the greats who have left indelible marks on our industry.

This usually reminds me of creative icons who I have not thought of in a while, including Walter Gropius (1883-1969).

A German native and the founder of the wellrespected Bauhaus institution, his new way of looking at architecture was nothing short of controversial. Bauhaus (which literally means ‘house of building’) began in 1919 and continued

until 1933. Gropius brought together some of the most talented people of the day: Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo MoholyNagy and Marcel Breuer, to name a few. These brilliant creative minds are responsible for much of what we still consider ‘contemporary’ design.

In 1937, Gropius accepted a professorship at Harvard University, where he later chaired the

Harvard Graduate School of Design. This, too, was a controversial move as the war was going on. And with Gropius hailing from Germany, there were issues from both countries.

Gropius was allowed to return to Germany to collect his belongings, sans any cash assets, and return to the United States. The Third Reich viewed this as a positive propaganda move to show Germany’s greatness of intellect.

Enter Henry Shepley, an architect friend of Gropius, who introduced him to Mrs. Helen

Storrow. Mrs. Storrow was a philanthropist who often would support new talent, especially in the arts. Shepley, knowing Gropius wanted to build a home of his own, convinced Storrow to gift some of her acreage on her large farm in Lincoln, Massachusetts, finance the building of the home ($20,000) and then rent it back to him.

Since Gropius founded the Bauhaus tradition on the philosophies of simplicity, functionality, Continued on page 80 Master bedroom

economy, geometry and ascetic beauty, the challenge was to integrate all of that into a home that respected the New England countryside. By incorporating traditional New England materials such as clapboard, brick, fieldstone and acoustic plaster, he used them in fresh ways to demonstrate his core design philosophies. In 1938, the home was built and represented the best of both worlds.

Gropius died in 1969, leaving his widow, Ise, a two-sentence will stating that he loved her and trusted her with his legacy. As a result, Ise established the Walter Gropius Archive at Harvard University to contain his Bauhaus and Harvard materials, as well as donating some of his original designs to important museums.

80

May 2, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

As for the couple’s home, described by Ise as “a happy amalgam” of the New England vernacular and the Bauhaus spirit, it was given to the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (now called Historic New England).

Ise died in 1983. In 1985, the home opened as a historic museum. And in 2002, the Gropius House was designated a National Historic Landmark in the Woods End Road Historic District.

The house truly is an iconic example of ingenious design that had not been seen before.

Gropius’ designs influenced many interior designers and architects who followed him and his ‘green’ approach, which remains relevant in the home environment industry today. For more information, visit historicnewengland.org.

DIVERSIONS MARIANN MENGES

Happiness is An Art Form

PHOTO BY SARAH CROWDER

A

DEEP LOVE OF ART, ANIMALS AND teaching make Mariann Menges a soughtafter art teacher. Where else can students of all ages arrive for art lessons and be taught in a zoo-like setting? Where else can students pet, feed and draw seven live animals that include two box turtles, a rabbit, hamster, toad, dog and ‘Little Guy,’ a 47-year-old talking parrot who speaks two languages and sings opera?

Menges, now in her 70s, began drawing at the age of 3. At a young age, she remembers doing “the perfect little drawing of a horse” that her father kept in his wallet his whole life. “I’ve always loved animals and art,” she says.

Her mother, an accomplished artist, attended Washington University Art School, “which was rare in her day,” Menges notes. “She knew every medium and technique, which I learned through the years.”

At age 16, the former Mariann Rosenfeld graduated from University City High School. She then graduated from Washington University with a lifetime teaching degree. Turning down a full scholarship at Lindenwood University, she was able to attend Washington University tuition-free because her husband, Edward Menges, taught

there. “I married my high-school art teacher, the most handsome man of the time,” she declares.

Mariann and Edward waited two years after she graduated to get married. And although her parents were opposed to their daughter marrying an older man, her mother made the wedding dress, and mailed it to her for her Iowa wedding.

Married for 30 years, the couple stayed a year in New York while Menges studied at the Art Students League, and spent summers teaching in Martha’s Vineyard. They also spent a year in Europe with their daughter, Kristen. There, the family traveled via Volkswagen camper to paint landscapes.

“We painted in almost every European country and visited every church and art museum we could find,” Menges recalls. She says with very little money, they could not afford down sleeping bags so they slept in their clothes to keep warm.

Meals were cooked on a Coleman burner. “We ate a lot of stew and canned foods with fancy European names,” she remembers, adding that they parked their van on the parking lots of famous European hotels. “We stayed at the finest hotels in Europe— unfortunately, it was only in their parking lots. I hope it was not sacrilegious that I washed dishes

on the grounds across from the Vatican in Rome!”

Following her divorce from Edward, Menges returned to Europe to attend the International Toy Festival in Nurenberg, Germany. “I was making Medieval cottage kits for children to construct themselves.” She’s also traveled to Kentucky with a cardboard stable kit she designed and sold to The Horse Museum. “I used to ride horses in St. Louis and they, too, became a love of mine.”

Menges also taught art at Forsyth School for 17 years. She ran her own art school for 10 years, teaching 450 students annually. She owned a pottery studio, and has taught art at local private schools and retirement homes.

Menges now teaches 16 students, ages 5 to 80, in her University City studio surrounded by her pet animals. “Children get such pleasure from them,” she says. “The rabbit is their favorite.”

Menges also travels to the home of an adult student who is unable to come to her studio. She explains that there is not much difference teaching youngsters and adults. “The main difference is that most adults believe that they cannot draw.

I have my methods and simplify the process,” she explains. “My adult students are surprised with the outcome—it is beyond their wildest expectations.”

Menges is proud that some of her former students are now professional artists, jewelry, fabric and paper designers. One former student works at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; and another is a handbag designer for Judith Leiber.

However, Menges admits her main love always has been animals. She belongs to the House Rabbit Society and helps find homes for unwanted rabbits.

Also a member of the St. Louis Herpetological Society, Menges sadly recalls her two pet snakes that escaped from their cages in her first home and disappeared. Using her lifetime experience with pets, she recently began writing and illustrating a children’s book about a snake magician.

Menges also has added photography to her art repertoire and is developing a new website. “I am finally coming into the 20th century,” she says amusingly. “I am also thinking of buying a banjo and would love to play again. It is a beautiful instrument and I miss it dearly.”

Unfortunately, an illness many years ago changed her life. “I was in the hospital on IV therapy for three months and ill for four years after that, losing much of what I had financially,” she says. “When my life changed so suddenly, so did my values and interests. I experienced many losses, including the loss of my art school and lovely home in Ladue.”

Menges adds that when you have experienced hardship, it is sometimes difficult to be grateful for what you have. “My spiritual studies teach me that gratitude is a prerequisite to true happiness and success in our relations. I now live in a tiny house; and instead of teaching 450 students a year at my art school, I teach 16 students at my studio filled with my own personal zoo. But what matters most today is that I am happy, and I am grateful for the life God has given me.”

Everything You Wanted to Know About Prom (but were afraid to ask)

S

PRING IS IN THE AIR. WHILE FOR most of us, that means worrying about covering your bulbs at night or purging a closet, the past few weeks of my life have been consumed by— well, consumed is a strong word— preoccupied by one thing: prom.

But now that prom is in my rearview mirror, I feel that I can safely discuss this… what to call it? It’s not a simply a party. It’s not merely a dance. It’s not just a school function. It’s an event.

I must state, for the record, that I am writing this article under protest. Not my protest, but Cranky’s. As the attendee at the aforementioned event, she is demanding a final cut. The article may end up looking like a redacted CIA transcript when she’s through with it. Pressing on…

The first thing you should know is that the prom itself—while the highlight of the evening—is not the only event. Prom goes all day—and all night.

It’s like a pagan festival. The first event is the dressing party. This is obviously a girls’ activity; however, if you have a son, encourage him to try on the tuxedo earlier than five minutes before walking out the door. That way, you can do something about sleeves 5 inches too short. Now, leaving for the designated staging area is quite a production.

You may think your child is setting off on the QE2 for a month. I am told this is normal. Apparently, the girls change outfits more than Liz Taylor at her eighth wedding.

Once dressed, the next stop is the pre-party/ dinner. This is where the photo op happens. If you follow your child on Instagram and Facebook, you will see almost all prom photos posted are from this

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER event. On a positive note, no more photos means your child is interacting with three-dimensional people. Also much like sausage, it may be better not to know everything that goes into it.

Next comes the actual prom. It’s an elegant affair with a smattering of drama. Picture a wedding reception where the bride and groom split up, get back together, get caught cheating and split up again, two of the bridesmaids fight and cry, but all the guests have a spectacular time. It’s a beautiful affair, and the evening is just getting started.

After the prom is the after-prom. At this point, I’ve been in bed for three hours, but our intrepid teens are just getting started. At Cranky’s school, the after-prom is a school-sanctioned event and chaperoned. After a costume change and change of venue, the party continues. Now, you may wonder what on earth these kids could still have to talk about, fight about, laugh about or dance about, but there is plenty. Entire relationships have formed and dissolved, and new ones have been formed. It’s like watching that time-lapse photography film of a flower.

REVIEWS MOVIE REVIEW

THEATER REVIEW

Windmill Baby

BY MARK BRETZ

THE STORY Maymay is dropped off by her daughter, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, so that she can tend to some “unfinished business.” With her new cell phone as her mode of communication, she makes her way to an old cattle station in western Australia where she toiled half a century earlier.

The Other Woman

WOMEN SCORNED RATING: 6 out of 10

L

ET’S JUST JUMP RIGHT IN, SHALL WE? HERE, WE have yet another in a long line of ‘female-empowerment’ comedies—movies where Hollywood announces loud and proud that if you can’t see 40-something women like Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann as gorgeous, sexy prizes, you’re going to get what’s coming to you. Think First Wives Club or The Witches of Eastwick. Honestly, I would think the message was absurd if Diaz herself didn’t have so much trouble hanging on to a man—maybe there’s a point to be made.

Carly (Diaz) likes Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). She likes him so much she’s ready to become a one-man woman.

Problem is, Mark isn’t a one-woman man. Mark is married to Kate (Mann). When Kate and Carly form an unlikely friendship, their bond is only strengthened when they discover Mark not only is cheating on Kate with Carly, he is cheating on Carly with Amber (Kate Upton). But that’s not all: He’s even cheating on Amber. Note to self: Find out what kind of vitamin regimen this guy is on. Together, Kate, Carly and Amber team up to bring down their stray dog of a man.

All things considered, this movie is fine. Although I have to say Cameron Diaz is looking a little rough these days. It strains the imagination to believe that a guy would cheat on the far more appealing Kate. I will let that slide in favor of the big flaw: The movie is just not that funny. Amber is dumb, Carly is devious, Kate can’t hold her liquor, we get it. Now give me something witty to watch. It’s not terrible, it’s just OK.

TANGENTIAL THINKER continued from page 86

An Aboriginal woman, Maymay recounts her youth working for a surly white boss who treated his native employees as little more than slaves. Despite the harsh life, Maymay tells her story with warmth and humor: She recalls Boss’ kindly wife, a gentle, crippled Aborigine named Wunman; her beau and future husband, Malvern; another young Aboriginal woman named Sally; and a beloved mongrel mixture of dog and dingo named Skitchim, among others.

HIGHLIGHTS Once again, Upstream Theater founder and artistic director Philip Boehm has brought an international gem to his theater for its American premiere. Windmill Baby is a tight and compelling one-act work written by David Milroy, an Australian playwright of Aboriginal descent, that received its world premiere in Perth in 2005.

GROUP: Upstream Theater VENUE: Kranzberg Arts Center, 501 N. Grand Blvd.

DATES: May 2-4, 8-11 TICKETS: $20-$30; upstreamtheater.org RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

More reviews available on laduenews.com

Windmill Baby reminds its audience that the history of racism extends beyond the United States and South Africa into the land of Down Under, as well, with the ramifications of that injustice still felt today.

Thanks to the theatrical wonder known as Linda Kennedy, Milroy’s touching story is brought to heartfelt life on Upstream’s stage. Enhanced by Boehm’s meticulous direction and the haunting musical accompaniment of versatile composer and musician Farshid Soltanshahi, Windmill Baby brings light to the dark history of Australian colonialism.

Kennedy displays impressive range as she portrays not only Maymay, but a half-dozen people (and a dog) who shaped her youth. She moves in almost balletic fashion across the barren floor as her stylish moves embellish Maymay’s bittersweet memories.

Kennedy can bring the mood of Milroy’s lilting tale down to a somber note as she recalls the aching torment that followed the birth of the title character. She also can elevate it to exhilarating, emotional heights, as when she recites a memorable tea party hosted by the benevolent Missus before it turns suddenly nasty.

Maymay’s story as told by Milroy in Windmill Baby may not be unique, but seeing Kennedy unveil it under Boehm’s finely attuned direction offers a simple tale told in affecting fashion.

Brace yourself. After the after-prom is the after after-prom.

Wait. No, sorry. My mistake. There is no after after-prom. It doesn’t happen. It never happened. If in theory, there were an after after-prom, it would be like Fight Club—whatever goes on there, the first rule is you can’t talk about it.

Next comes breakfast and—if everybody’s experience is similar—a nasty upper-respiratory infection, although that may be case-specific.

For the kids, it’s the night of their lives. For the parents, it’s a night of stress-eating, insomnia and bad TV, as well as constantly checking your phone to ensure some distress call or another didn’t go unheard. It’s an all-night party rife with teenage dancing and driving and drama. And to think, I used to spend hours and hours worrying if Cranky could fall out of her high chair.

La Vallesana (2801 Cherokee St.) Tons of patio seating is available at this sprawling corner space, in addition to two indoor dining rooms. They recently started serving drinks, as well, and now sport a full bar.

Taqueria El Torito

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

(2753 Cherokee St.) This colorful, spacious place has plenty of seating inside and on the covered patio. In the attached Mercado, you’ll find everything from cowboy hats and saint candles to authentic ingredients like cactus leaves that are hard to find anywhere else.

Recommendations: The al pastor (marinated pork) and tripa (tripe) tacos are real standouts.

Ingredients like tripe hearken back to a time when every bit of the animal was used out of necessity. While it might seem odd to some modern palates, when done right, tripe can be as flavorful as any meat.

El Bronco Taqueria (2817 Cherokee St.) This cozy storefront restaurant is a perfect spot to pop in and grab a bite. Aside from the serape on the wall, there’s not much in the way of decor.

They let the food do the talking.

Recommendations: Of course, the tacos are the go-to here—specifically the cabeza (cheeks), lengua (tongue) and chorizo versions. All are topped with cilantro and fresh, crunchy slices of radish. And like the other establishments we visited, they come on soft, chewy tortillas with nary a bit of sour cream or shredded cheese in sight.

Carniceria Latino Americano (2800 Cherokee St.) Like El Torito, this restaurant is conveniently adjacent to a mercado, which has plenty of indigenous culinary treasures. On our visit, we picked up a couple of bottles of miche mix, a spicy lime concoction that’s added to beer for an extra kick.

There’s a bit of counter seating, as well as an enclosed street-side patio.

Recommendations: The barbacoa (spicy slowcooked beef) and chicken tacos are superb. The

ONTRARY TO POPULAR belief, Cinco de Mayo isn’t the Mexican Fourth of July — in fact, the day doesn’t get much attention in Mexico at all. Cinco De Mayo began as a celebration of the Mexican victory over France in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The holiday made its way over to the U.S. in the 1960s and ’70s as a way for those of Mexican descent to show pride in their heritage. Then, the marketing mavens got involved and Cinco de Mayo in America proceeded to morph into more of a happy hour holiday than a celebration of a culture.

This May 5, why not actually experience the rich culinary traditions of Mexico? Unbeknownst to many, there’s a small stretch of Cherokee Street west of Jefferson Avenue that’s home to some of the best authentic Mexican eateries in town. From tacos to tortas to tamales and beyond, this area has more flavor per square foot than any other two blocks in town. Do yourself a favor and check out the offerings at these fine establishments and see what real Mexican food is all about:

Decorated with myriad colorful players’ jerseys, this is the place for soccer fans to have a bite and watch the game.

Recommendations: The fajitas del mar—a plate full of shrimp, mussels, crab and squid bits ready to spoon into soft corn tortillas, with rice and refried beans alongside—will satisfy any craving.

Final Cut Steakhouse

Game for Steak?

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

FANS OF THE ONE-ARMED BANDITS AND sundry games of chance hungry for some elevated fare—or folks just looking for a prime cut—have a new place to try: Final Cut Steakhouse. The restaurant opened earlier this year in the Hollywood Casino in Maryland Heights, part of a massive $62-million renovation of the property, which formerly was Harrah’s St. Louis.

The interior of Final Cut is miles away from the garish casino floor just outside: no flashing lights or buzzers here. Instead, the decor is sleek and understated with modern touches like the almost circular entryway that houses the hostess station and the eye-catching striated amber panels backlit behind the bar. The high-end atmosphere is somewhat negated, though, by the big screen TVs over the bar. Since the restaurant is open for dinner hours only (5 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; and 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday), maybe management could take a cue from our moms and shut off the TVs during dinner time?

The menu at Final Cut is full of traditional steakhouse items, from soups and salads to a variety of surf and turf options. We started with the Classic French Onion Soup ($6) and the Final Cut Caesar Salad ($7), both classics that are presented with a minimum of fanfare. The sweet and savory soup had plenty of the requisite gruyere cheese on top, and the salad was elevated a bit with the addition of some white anchovies and a parmesan tuille on top. Both dishes were hearty portions.

The entrees on the menu are divvied up between Land and Sea. From the Land side, we ordered the 8 oz Filet Mignon ($33), which we paired with a glass of Trivento Malbec ($12); and from the Sea, the Pan Roasted Chilean Sea Bass ($35). Our filet was a by-the-book classic cut, cooked a nice, rosy rare. Following the basic steakhouse formula, sides are ordered a la carte.

However, at Final Cut, the steaks do come with a choice of either baked potato, baked sweet potato

or sweet potato casserole. To accompany our filet, we chose the casserole. Wrong move. This dish was way too cloying. It had more in common with a dessert than a side to accompany a steak.

A tried-and-true baked potato would have definitely been the way to go here.

The fish came perched on some saffron potatoes, accented with a crab mueniere and topped with a spray of micro-greens. The fish itself was flaky and tender, and deliciously ensconced in a delicate crust. The sauce had the tangy bite of lemon, along with a contrasting subtle sweetness that accented the mild fish nicely.

Easily accessible from I-70, the restaurant also benefits from the casino’s wealth of surface and garage parking, making it a convenient dining destination for gamers and non-gamers alike.

continued from page 26

continued from page 24 where there a lot of people asking good questions— it makes us strive to be better. The status quo is not good enough.”

St. Louis Children’s Hospital’s partnership with the world-class medical school of Washington University helps foster each one’s commitment to excellence, he adds. “I think that the combination is very strong, so we can do what’s the very best for the child at all times.”

That dedication plays out through a variety of quality-improvement initiatives, Warner notes.

“We continuously identify things that will create better outcomes for patients—that are less costly and more efficient at the same time. Our patient satisfaction scores are through the roof: We have extremely high ratings for patient wait times, the willingness of the patient to return, and the satisfaction of the patient with the physician.”

Though many children who come through the door might have big medical problems, the staff never forgets that these small patients have special needs and fears, Warner says. “Our goal is to provide the finest care that is the most efficient, safe and the most positive experience possible.”

“Under his leadership, Ameren really has invested millions back into the community through several initiatives, including a commitment to energy efficiency and providing access to heating and cooling assistance for those in need,” Gaskin notes.

Inspirational leaders bettering the community also will be recognized, including Mayor of Ladue Nancy Spewak, Armstrong Teasdale partner Steven Cousins, and Regions Bank area president Sally Roth. Among organizations to be highlighted will be Heat Up Cool Down St. Louis, for providing valuable heating and cooling assistance to Missouri and Illinois residents in need. And the Special Education Foundation will be honored for its commitment to offering educational support and resources to underserved kids.

With more than 20 corporate supporters and Ameren as its title sponsor, the event is set to generate record funding and another sellout crowd for the third consecutive year, Gaskin says. “St. Louis is one of the most generous

continued from page 75 trials is whether we can treat the patients with HPV-positive disease with a lower dose.”

Again, prevention is key, notes Bhatt. “The reality is that HPV is preventable. There’s a vaccine available, and we should avail ourselves of that.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just reported that there’s only 35 percent of eligible people actually being vaccinated; and with that track record, we’re not really going to make a dent.”

LN PARENTING continued from page 68 individuals tend to prefer the intimate classroom environment of a smaller campus. These schools are more person-centered and offer better opportunities to interact with professors. On the other hand, larger institutions offer a wider range of classes, a variety of housing options, and big-time sports.

Location is the next topic to tackle. A school’s setting can have a significant impact on the college experience. College is both an education and a journey; it is a great time to push beyond one’s comfort zone and live in your dream location.

Some may allow their course of study to drive their college search. This is an important consideration, but the majority of college students switch degree programs multiple times. It is important a university has the proposed area of interest, but attending the most prestigious program will not ensure success or happiness.

Watching your child mature can be challenging for any parent. College is a huge step toward adult independence, and it can be difficult for Mom or Dad to recognize the line between interference and support. Trust you have a raised an intelligent individual who makes good decisions and celebrate this exciting transition.

cities in the nation. People are very supportive of these types of causes.”

Funds from the dinner will allow St. Louis County NAACP to further its local and national initiatives. “The NAACP has been the vanguard for nearly all civil rights and human rights victories for the last 105 years,” Gaskin says.

The organization’s St. Louis County members, which have grown to 750—up from 65 in 2009 under the leadership of Haywood—strive to remove barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes, seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state and local laws securing civil rights, educate people of their constitutional rights, and inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and seek its elimination. Current local initiatives include making affordable, quality health care, housing and education top priorities. “We always can do more to advance civil rights,” Gaskin notes. “And as a grassroots organization, we seek everyone’s help to grow our mission at local and national levels.”

continued from page 74

and often very helpful,” Borts says. “When used for a cold or even a sinus infection, it can reduce both the duration and severity of symptoms and often reduces the use of antibiotics. If symptoms of infection last for longer than 14 days, though, it’s a good idea to see a physician.”

Essential oils are gaining popularity as a way to treat a variety of ills, including allergies. “They stimulate the brain and immune system to function,” Wibbenmeyer says. “There are several ways to incorporate essential oils in treatment.

I use and recommend a mixture of eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint and lemon with hands-on treatment, while working on sinus cavity and lymphatic drainage techniques.” Essential oils also can be diffused into the air or applied to the base of the nostril and upper chest. “I would not recommend ingesting pure essential oil, as its potency can be dangerous to the digestive system,” Wibbenmeyer adds.

There are a number of inexpensive, safe and effective home air-filter machines. “We have some concern about units that generate ozone to kill germs,” Borts notes. “While these units are tested and should not create excessive or harmful levels of ozone, ozone is an irritant to the

respiratory tract, and we generally advise to avoid exposure. Other filters use a HEPA filter, which can remove germs and allergens combined with a charcoal filter that removes odors and other irritants. These are very safe.” No machine placed in one location can filter the air in an entire home, he adds. HVAC contractors can provide advice on building-wide systems.

Foods said to relieve allergies include wasabi and honey. “Most of the green stuff that we get with our sushi is actually horseradish and not real wasabi,” Borts notes. “The real wasabi contains isothiocyanates that are reported to have anti-inflammatory effects and has been shown in some studies to help symptoms of mild allergies. When you eat either wasabi or horseradish, it has an immediate effect of clearing the sinuses. Some people find this to be pleasant— others do not.”

As for honey, Borts notes there are no controlled studies that have shown it effective as an allergy treatment, however, “my friend and fellow allergist Dr. Gary Goodman raises bees for honey and sells it to benefit the Asthma and Allergy Foundation. And as he says, I don’t know if it helps allergies, but it is yummy.

THE DOCTOR IS IN

Most 1- to 3-year-old toddlers sleep about 10 to 12 hours daily. The desire to be with mom and dad and not miss out on the fun can make bedtime a challenge. Keeping your child up to make him tired will likely not help and will only make him fussier and more difficult. Establish a bedtime routine so your child knows when it’s time for bed, based on when things occur.

Make the ritual simple but repetitive. Dreams may begin at this age and interfere with sleep.

But remember that a regular pattern of daytime activity and naps will help.

continued from page 66 periods of time. Allow your 6- to 12-month-old a few minutes to quiet herself back to sleep. If you need to pick her up, do so quickly and get her back in bed as fast as possible. At about 8 to 9 months of age, babies normally develop separation anxiety. At this point, when your child wakes, don’t turn on lights or feed her. Try to allow her to fall back to sleep on her own and give minimal attention when you must.
