Financial Wizardry For The Everyday American!

“A No-Brainer”, says The Oracle of Omaha - Warren Buffett “Looking for a way to shortchange interest rates? If you are, look no further than this method, one that Buffett calls a "no-brainer." It's really easy …

Just take out a mortgage & buy a home.

If interest rates rise -- which most experts think will occur sometime in the next 12 to 18 months -- then taking out a fixed rate mortgage today is a great way to hedge against that likelihood. If rates do decline further, you can always

refinance, and if rates rise, you can simply keep paying your monthly payments and enjoy that below market rate for the next 30 years.

As far as Buffett is concerned, this is a very convenient and powerful way for Main Street households to apply Wall Street hedging strategies for long term financial success!”

EDITOR’S NOTE

TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO, THE NATIONAL CHILDREN’S CANCER Society (NCCS) was established in St. Louis to help children in need of bone marrow transplants. Since then, it has expanded its mission to provide young cancer patients and their families with a full spectrum of support.

Last year alone, NCCS had an impact on 4,000 families here and across the country, many of whom, in addition to the agony of having a seriously ill child, also suffered financially due to treatment, hospital visits and other related expenses.

Through the years, NCCS has provided almost $60 million in direct financial assistance to 35,000-plus children nationwide. A number of those former patients are now participating in the organization’s Beyond the Cure Scholarship Program, which allows them to attend college and eventually help to impact the lives of other kids who have been or will be diagnosed with cancer.

With Ladue News serving as a proud media sponsor, NCCS recently hosted its annual gala to honor those who have had a longtime commitment to supporting its mission. Our coverage begins on p. 6.

‌How do you celebrate Thanksgiving?

Maryville Talks Books features lectures by noted authors followed by a Q&A and book signing.

Admission is free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. Seating is on a first-come, firstserved basis. Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Left Bank Books.

Frank Cusumano Either my sisters or my wife will host. It’s football on TV, and it’s incredible food on the table—the dressing is off the charts! I could give you the recipe, but I would have to...! I feel blessed to have relatives I really love.

Dr. Joseph Kahn Thanksgiving was my mother-inlaw’s favorite holiday. My family celebrates a traditional Thanksgiving with my wife’s extended family. I wisely married into a family of excellent cooks, and have a sister-in-law who bakes world-class pies.

Patricia Cornwell Flesh and Blood: A Scarpetta Novel Saturday, November 15, 7 p.m.

The Ethical Society of St. Louis 9001 Clayton Road #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell delivers the next enthralling thriller in her high-stakes series starring Kay Scarpetta—a complex tale involving a serial sniper who strikes chillingly close to the forensic sleuth herself. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techo genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta’s own flesh and blood.

HUMANITARIAN AWARD

BY DIANE ANDERSON

HE NATIONAL CHILDREN’S CANCER Society honored three St. Louisans at the recent Alvin K. Stolze Humanitarian Award Dinner at the Sheldon Concert Hall. Lynn Britton, president and CEO of Mercy, and Dr. Bob Bergamini of Mercy Children’s Hospital were given the Medical Legacy Award for their commitment to treating childhood cancers. Bank of America—Missouri president Larry Otto accepted the Philanthropy Award on his company’s behalf. Comedian Frank Caliendo and our town’s musical treasure, Denise Thimes, were the entertainment for the evening. Donna Wilkinson served as chairperson.

Lynn and Thriess Britton, Donna Wilkinson, Noemi and Michael Neidorff

DIANE’S SCOOP You may not know this about our town’s Al Wiman (who served as emcee for the evening’s program): Some 45 years ago, he and his L.A. television crew cracked the Charles Manson murders by finding the discarded bloody clothing thrown out of the car on Benedict Canyon in Beverly Hills. Wiman remembers retracing the steps of the killers by timing their escape and how long it may have taken them to shed their clothes. Needless to say, the LAPD was not happy that a 29-year-old reporter beat them to it!...Noemi Neidorff shared some exciting news about the 2015 headliner for the Radio Arts Foundation’s big gala: It will be maestro Leonard Slatkin, and she promises we’re in for a real treat!...Mark Carlie is bursting with pride that his son, Andrew, will be marrying Courtney Kelly in May 2015!...Denise Thimes says she’s excited and humbled by the fact that she’ll be receiving the Arts and Education Council’s Excellence in the Arts award at its Jan. 19 ceremony at The Chase Park Plaza...Marsha and Bill Rusnack are headed to Los Angeles to visit their children, as well as their 6-year-old grandson, who is named after his grandpa. The Rusnacks recently switched to condo living, and say they are embarrassingly happy about the move! No more upkeep, lawn care, etc...who wouldn’t be happy about that?

There are new historical markers throughout downtown St. Louis to highlight seven streets with their original French names. The new signage is a gift from LES AMIS (The Friends) for the city’s 250th anniversary. Les Amis is a French heritage preservationist organization that hopes to extend the signage system along the entire Creole corridor on both sides of the river—from Cahokia to Chester, Illinois, and from Ste. Genevieve to St. Louis. The seven downtown streets still in existence from the early village in 1764 are: First Street (La Grande Rue/La Rue Royale), Second Street (La Rue de L’Eglise), Third Street (La Rue des Granges), Walnut Street (La Rue de la Tour), Market Street (La Rue de la Place), Chestnut Street (La Rue Missouri) and Pine Street (La Rue Quicapou). The downtown markers were unveiled during a ceremony at Kiener Plaza last week.

More than 125 filmmakers representing 389 movies, documentaries and film shorts are ready for their close-up: The 23rd annual WHITAKER ST. LOUIS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL will take center stage this month at various local venues. The festival opens on Thursday, A scene from The Makings of You Nov. 13, with the premiere of The Makings of You, a St. Louis-set and -shot drama by hometown boy MATT AMATO. The film stars JAY R. FERGUSON (of Mad Men) and SHERYL LEE and GRACE ZABRISKIE (both of Twin Peaks).

Amato, Ferguson and Zabriskie are expected to attend. For a full listing of films and ticket information, visit cinemastlouis.org.

COVENANT HOUSE MISSOURI

Worth the Investment

BY LISA WATSON

When Covenant House Missouri hosted its first ‘Sleep Out’ three years ago, the executives and civic leaders who signed up for the fundraiser experienced for the first time what it’s like to be homeless—a reality faced by some 2,000 St. Louis youth every night. “I’ve been a social worker for more than 30 years now,” says Sue Wagener, executive director of the nonprofit that works to get homeless youth off the streets. “I’ve been in some really poor areas, and I’ve seen a lot. But I really was not ready when I slept out the first year.

It’s dark and it’s 2 a.m., and there’s silence—you can only hear the night noises. It struck me that I didn’t realize the advantage of cardboard—my feet would drop off the cardboard and start freezing.

Then, in the distance, I heard a gunshot.”

Even though she was already working daily with teens who lived in these conditions for days or months at a time, the first-hand experience really brought the lesson home for Wagener.

Last year’s Covenant House Sleep Out participants

“These kids have to deal with loneliness and fear,” she says. “I was there with a winter coat, sleeping bag, hat, scarf and gloves. What if I was 17, 18 or 19 years old and I had run away from home? They run away and think life on the street is better than what they’re enduring at home. They usually only have a hoodie and a pair of jeans on, and they have to figure out where they’re going to sleep. A lot of times, it’s an abandoned building. How could you sleep? Someone might come up behind you at any time during the night.”

If the experience was eye-opening for the participants, it had an equal impact on the teens

and young adults served by Covenant House.

Wagener recalls a young man who walked up to Mayor Francis Slay, who was participating in the fundraiser. “He thanked him for sleeping out, and then he said, Normally, people like you don’t notice people like me. I was struck by how powerful it was for him to say that. And the mayor was very kind and warm with his response.”

The Sleep Out takes place in the parking lot outside Covenant House, where the young adults in the transitional housing program live in Continued on page 65

LOOKING FOR A COMFORTABLE SHOE FOR FALL? SLIGHTLY MORE HIP than Tom’s and definitely more fashionable than your running shoes, the slipon sneaker is having its moment. Inspired by the classic Vans’ style, every designer is jumping on this bandwagon, which means you can find options from $40 to $200!

A LITTLE BIT VINTAGE AND A LITTLE BIT MODERN, NEW YORK-BASED fashion designer Lauren Moffatt’s collections are the perfect balance between youthful and tailored. A former graphic designer and Philadelphia native, Moffatt’s love of fine art and modern design are the foundation for her aesthetic. With a unique sensibility for color, texture and detail, Moffatt’s designs have resonated with women since she launched her brand in 2000 from her home—a 31-foot sailboat docked on New York’s Hudson River. She is known best for her colorful blouses with flattering shapes, but does a highwaisted pant better than most, and has a strong assortment of sweet dresses and cozy capes for fall—all combining vintage flair with modern sensibility.

PRADA BUCKET BAG WHEN I STARTED SEEING bucket bags becoming one of the newest tote trends for fall, I immediately had a flashback to my mom’s TK bag in the ’80s. Definitely a more ‘retro’ look, the bucket bag is making a comeback in a big way. With its deep design and cinched tassel closure, this style is actually the perfect option for stowing all of your valuables. And there’s no feeling dated with Prada’s studded red leather version!

Solving the Sinus Puzzle

By Brittany Nay

that a patient caught some bacteria that caused him or her to have sinus problems. But about 97 percent of the time, people who get acute sinusitis usually don’t have a bacterial infection—they have a viral infection.” Antibiotics only work for bacterial, not viral, infections, he notes.

Another common label many patients receive is sinusitis, when they may not actually have it, Schneider continues. Acute sinusitis, inflammation of the lining of the nose and sinuses, involves nasal congestion, drainage from the nose or into the back of the throat, and facial pressure or pain for less than four weeks, while chronic sinusitis typically presents these symptoms for more than 12 weeks, he explains, adding that the symptoms and time tables can vary among patients.

Researchers still are working to determine what turns acute sinusitis into chronic sinusitis.

And Schneider and his group are completing research to help solve that puzzle. “We do studies with patients to see what’s driving the inflammation. When we come up with answers, we share them with our colleagues around the world to improve patient care.”

Schneider says the group’s nuanced approach to

Q:

I told my doctor that my mother had endometrial cancer and he mentioned Lynch syndrome. Should I be tested to determine my risk?

Endometrial cancer, or cancer of the uterus, is the most common gynecologic cancer. It affects almost 50,000 women each year. A small percentage of these cases is due to hereditary factors.

Washington University

Gynecologic Oncology (314) 362-1291 Locations in West County and at Washington University Medical Center

Lynch syndrome is one inherited condition that increases the risk of certain types of cancers, most commonly endometrial cancers, colon cancers and some types of urologic cancers. This increased risk is caused by mutations in the DNA. As cells grow and divide, they make copies of their DNA and it’s not uncommon for some minor mistakes to occur in this process. Normal cells are able to recognize mistakes and repair them. People who inherit one of the abnormal genes associated with Lynch syndrome, however, lack the ability to repair these errors. An accumulation of these mistakes leads to increasing genetic damage within cells and eventually can cause the cells to become cancerous.

Then, we help patients to understand what’s going on and find resources to help them get better.”

Lynch syndrome can be diagnosed through genetic blood testing. If a patient is found to have a defect, this testing is followed by genetic counseling. This knowledge is very powerful for the patient and his or her family who may also be at risk for developing certain cancers. The information provided allows for preventive steps towards decreasing the risk of developing specific cancers and for early detection.

Five to seven percent of all of these cancers could be eliminated if all patients and relatives at risk for Lynch syndrome cancers were identified through analysis at a universal testing site, such as Washington University Medical Center.

neezing. Nasal congestion. Facial pressure. These are just a few of the issues that can dampen the mood during the fall and winter months. That’s where the Washington University Physicians’ sinus group comes in.

At the Washington University Sinus Institute’s two area locations, Dr. John Schneider and his team diagnose and treat simple to complex sinus issues, from seasonal allergies and acute and chronic sinusitis to sinonasal disorders.

The group commonly sees patients with sinus symptoms of nasal congestion, facial pressure around the eyes, and complaints of not being able to breathe through the nose. Others often come in with allergy issues, from sneezing to itching ears, noses and throats. “Sinuses really get blamed for a lot of symptoms, such as ear pain and facial pressure. But often, the symptoms are caused by processes that aren’t involved with the sinuses,” Schneider notes. “For example, somebody may come in with a headache and say, I think it’s a sinus headache, when it may be a migraine-related headache, or maybe their ear pain is jaw-joint-related.”

A sinus infection is another diagnosis that is commonly misused, Schneider says. “It implies

WOMEN AND STROKES

An Increasing Risk

ORE WOMEN THAN MEN suffer strokes each year, according to the National Stroke Association. Part o f t h e rea so n fo r t h i s gender inequality is that women tend to live longer than men, and stroke risk increases with age. However, other risk factors can be modified, and women should know how to decrease their stroke risk.

Hormonal changes in women have been associated with increased stroke risk, and women taking oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy should be aware that their risk is increased, says Dr. Amer Alshekhlee, an interventional neurologist with the SSM Neurosciences Institute and on staff at SSM DePaul Health Center, the only hospital in St. Louis County to achieve Joint Commission Comprehensive Stroke Center certification.

healthywoman A Ladue News Special Section Continued from page 39 Another risk factor that affects more women than men is autoimmune disease, Alshekhlee adds. Both hormones and autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, may affect clotting mechanisms, causing blood to clot more easily. A clot that migrates to the brain causes blockages that can result in ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke. The other type of stroke, caused by a hemorrhage in the brain, is much less common, occurring in less than a quarter of all stroke cases.

Wo m e n a l s o a r e plagued with more m i g ra i n e h e a d a c h e s than men, and migraines preceded by a visual aura (a sensation of flashing lights or similar visual disturbances that herald the headache) also have been linked to a higher stroke risk.

The risk (of stroke) is 28 in 100,000 for women with migraine accompanied by an aura and who smoke or take contraceptives, compared to 1.3 in 100,000 for women who have this type of migraine but who don’t smoke, says Dr. Antonella Quattromani, a cardiologist with Advanced Heart and Vascular and on staff at Des Peres Hospital.

DR. ELI FEEN, SLUCare Neurologist “The mechanism is unknown, and women who develop migraines over the age of 50 have the same risk as the normal population,” she adds.

Women with this kind of migraine headache also should be screened for high blood pressure even if they are younger than 55, adds Dr. Eli Feen, a SLUCare neurologist. “It’s not clear whether other kinds of migraine, such as menstrual migraines, significantly increase the risk of stroke if there are not visual auras,” he says. “We also don’t know specifically how frequently these migraines have to occur to really create a significant risk for stroke. But in general, if these migraines with visual auras are very frequent, the risk of stroke is higher.”

Both men and women diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that is more common as we age, and/or high blood pressure are at higher risk of stroke. “Hypertension is called ‘the silent killer’ for a reason,” Feen says. “It develops in a person long before there are symptoms or problems that would prompt a person to go to the doctor. And until that problem develops, the person never knew they had high blood pressure. Knowing your average blood pressure and checking it at least once a year before the age of 55 will allow you to identify early when your blood pressure is going up.”

Experts agree that stroke risk greatly increases when multiple risk factors are present. “Any woman who has any concern about her risk of stroke should take the first, most important step of initiating a conversation with her primary-care provider. I cannot overstate the importance of this,” Feen says. Proactive steps anyone can take to lower risk include not smoking, monitoring blood pressure, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight and treating hypertension.

“HYPERTENSION IS CALLED ‘THE SILENT KILLER’ FOR A REASON ...IT DEVELOPS IN A PERSON LONG BEFORE THERE ARE SYMPTOMS OR PROBLEMS THAT WOULD PROMPT A PERSON TO GO TO THE DOCTOR. AND UNTIL THAT PROBLEM DEVELOPS, THE PERSON NEVER KNEW THEY HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.”

DIET, EXERCISE AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

Get Better Heart Mileage

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

Did you know that diet and exercise contribute to a healthy cardiovascular system? Of course, you did! We’ve been told over and over again that these lifestyle lynchpins are critical to heart health. But do you understand why?

“T

here are a lot of different things that can go wrong with the heart, so obviously exercise can’t help all of those,” says Dr. Michael Lim, co-director of the Center for Comprehensive Cardiovascular

Care and director of cardiology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. “But the most common thing that goes wrong with the heart is coronary artery disease, the buildup of cholesterol blockages and plaques in the arteries that

supply blood to the heart. As these cholesterol buildups grow, what can happen is that they rupture, and that’s what causes a heart attack.”

Continued on page 42

{LadueNews.com} November 7, 2014

“IF YOUR HEART IS AN ENGINE, THE FASTER IT BEATS, THE HIGHER THE RPMS...

THE MORE YOU USE YOUR HEART AND EXERCISE IT, THE MORE IT CAN DO WITH FEWER BEATS...IT BASICALLY GETS BETTER GAS MILEAGE.” DR. MICHAEL LIM, Saint Louis University School of Medicine

Continued from page 41 Statistics show that heart disease kills more women than any other single disease.

This is why keeping the arteries clear is so important, yet how does exercise assist this process? “The blood vessels to your heart are supposed to expand and contract with every heart beat,” says Lim, who also is president-elect of the board of the American Heart Association Greater St. Louis Division. “Healthy arteries that are able to do that over and over and over again actually are resistant to forming cholesterol plaques within them. The lining of the vessels stays healthy.”

Cardio exercise helps maintain the pliability of the vessels, allowing them to naturally be more resistant to heart-attack-causing plaque buildups. A secondary benefit is that this same exercise helps contribute to the efficiency of the heart’s ability to pump adequate blood with less

effort. “If your heart is an engine, the faster it beats, the higher the RPMs of your engine. The more you use your heart and exercise it, the more it can do with fewer beats,” Lim says. “It basically gets better gas mileage.”

Robin Bach, a personal trainer and owner of Robin Bach’s Body Sense, agrees and lists a range of exercise effects on the cardiovascular system.

“The physiology of a trained cardiovascular system differs from the system of a sedentary person,” she says. “Blood pressure is lowered, VO2 max (maximal aerobic capacity) increases, cardiac output increases because of greater left ventricle size and force (stroke volume), and the heart actually does become larger (hypertrophy).

The recovery for the heart rate also lessens, and the resting heart rate is lowered significantly. The system becomes efficient and balanced.”

These positive effects can be achieved with just 30 minutes of brisk walking per day, Lim

says. He adds that a balanced diet also is beneficial to heart health, and suggests checking the American Heart Association website (heart. org) for specific guidelines and healthy recipes.

“Protein is good and we need it, but the average American eats way too much meat,” he says.

“Starches and carbohydrates are good, too, but the average American eats way too much of those.

We should be having a significant number of servings of fruits and vegetables per day, but the average American eats nowhere close to that.”

Along with strengthening the system to deal with the stress of life, we can lessen the load of stress through relaxation techniques, such as meditation, Bach adds. Lim agrees that women, in particular, carry a heavy burden of caregiving.

“The focus is on everybody else,” he says. “We can’t forget about ourselves. We can only take care of other people if we’re in the best health we can be in.”

STRENGTH-TRAINING

Stick with It

‌W

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

HEN IT COMES TO exercise, women have many choices.

A whole slew of gym classes: yoga, jogging, cycling, karate and more offer something fo r eve r yo n e . Ye t while any exercise is better than no exercise, one workout stands out when it comes to benefits for women’s bodies: strength-training.

We’re not talking about pumping iron like the guys do. Women who strength-train using their own body weight or light dumbbells can strengthen their bones, tone their muscles, develop fat-burning lean muscle mass and build endurance. Twice a week is enough to reap the benefits, experts say.

“Women usually fall for the myth that if they lift, they will look like a man,” says Liane Levy, owner of Burn 1000. “In truth, that is impossible without using steroids and high levels of testosterone. Women who weight/strength-train will experience: improved energy, more effective weight-loss, better quality of sleep, improved heart health, and those sought-after womanly curves.”

Strength-training is appropriate for women of any age, adds Reann Ratterman, fitness instructor and personal trainer. “Not only does it increase bone density and build general strength, but it can help protect against injuries from falling, which is important as women age.”

Mike Tallis, owner of Snap Fitness in Clayton, also is a proponent of strength-training for women. “It really stands out in terms of benefits,” he says. “I work with a lot of women who are going through hormonal changes due to childbearing or menopause, and that can cause a degree of body fat increase. But by building lean muscle mass, you burn more calories.”

Tallis is quick to point out that 80 percent of what we do is focused on nutrition. To help build muscle through strength-training, he generally encourages women to consume about 100 grams of protein per day, although each individual is assessed and recommendations are made based on current health and fitness, and goals. He also advises women to eat every three to four hours, in order to help maintain blood sugar levels.

Women who have never tried strength-training can begin with simple exercises that use one’s own body weight for resistance. Push-ups and squats are good examples and can be done easily with no equipment.

Both Tallis and Ratterman suggest consulting a professional fitness trainer to learn basic exercises and ensure they’re done correctly. Age may require some modifications to the routine,

”NOT ONLY DOES (STRENGTH-TRAINING) INCREASE BONE DENSITY AND BUILD GENERAL STRENGTH, BUT IT CAN HELP PROTECT AGAINST INJURIES FROM FALLING, WHICH IS IMPORTANT AS WOMEN AGE.” REANN RATTERMAN, fitness instructor and personal trainer

but women who strength-train often continue for years. “I have one client who started in her 40s and is now in her mid-50s,” Ratterman says.

“She just came back from a mountain-climbing adventure and said her strength-training routine made it possible for her to do what she did.”

Cardiovascular exercise also is an important component of overall health and wellness, and

Tallis and Ratterman recommend incorporating cardio at least three times per week, alternating between cardio and strength-training.

Consistency is key, Tallis adds. “There’s always something in life that has the potential to pull you away from your exercise routine,” he says. “Don’t let it. Create a good routine with the help of a trained fitness professional—and stick with it.”

ometimes you have to do a little damage in order to create positive results.

Such is the case with non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, particularly those that aim various forms of energy beneath the

and neck to tighten skin and reduce fat. “These newer non-invasive treatments have limited longterm data on their longevity, but the assumption is that the effect would last for anywhere from one to five years,” adds Branham’s colleague Dr. John Chi, a facial and reconstructive plastic surgeon.

Heat is not the only thing that tightens skin and reduces fat. CoolSculpting uses a combination of suction and temperature to freeze fatty tissue under the skin, destroying fat cells as a result, explains Dr. Herluf Lund, a cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon with St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery.

Like the procedures that use heat, CoolSculpting’s results can last several years, as long as the patient maintains a stable weight.

In determining the b e s t ty p e o f procedure, it’s important to be specific about desired results.

“Sometimes, patients are willing to accept a slightly less optimal result to avoid surgery,” Lund says. “If a nonsurgical option is availDR. JOHN CHI, able and has the Washington University potential to give Physicians Facial and the patient the reconstructive plastic surgery desired result, then the risks, the benefits and the treatment process need to be explained clearly. Many times, multiple treatments are necessary. And sometimes, a combination of procedures can be used to enhance the results.”

Branham and Chi agree that individual goals, lifestyle and planning are key to a successful outcome, and patients should be open to discussing various options. “For instance, patients with isolated aging of their neck skin can usually be treated with a single procedure, while patients with aging around their eyes, mid-face and neck will require several different procedures to address each aspect of their facial aging,” Chi says.

“It’s also common to address volume and texture with things like facial peels or laser treatments at the same time as surgical procedures, such as facelifts,” Branham adds. “This permits the optimal use of downtime for healing, and allows a more natural and balanced appearance when healing is complete.”

Regardless of exactly which procedure is used, Dr. Joseph Muccini, a dermatologist with MidAmerica Skin Health and Vitality Center, notes that anti-aging technologies are improving across the board. “The question has never been, Can we heat the skin? The question is, Can we heat it enough to do some good but not enough to cause damage?

That has always been the challenge. There are many ways we’re getting better at that,” he says.

“THESE NEWER NON-INVASIVE TREATMENTS HAVE LIMITED LONG-TERM DATA ON THEIR LONGEVITY, BUT THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE EFFECT WOULD LAST FOR ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO FIVE YEARS.”

THE DOCTOR IS IN

Patients, It’s Your Turn!

T

BY DR. JOSEPH KAHN

HIS MONTH, INSTEAD OF OFFERing advice, I’m going to ask for your input. But first, a little background: began my first practice more than 34 years ago in a small southeast Missouri town. When my patients needed me outside of office hours, they called me at home; my number was in the book. On rare occasions, they just dropped by my house, as my address was listed, too. I had an answering machine to direct callers when I was not ‘on call,’ and when I was on call, my wife was my answering service. I attended every complicated delivery, met my patients in the emergency department, and made rounds twice daily on the many patients I admitted to the local hospital. There were no ‘hospitalists,’ urgent-care centers or walk-in clinics. (And Al Gore had not yet invented the Internet.)

Today, we are all constantly connected by the Web and with smartphones. The news cycle is instantaneous. Walk-in medical care is available at many pharmacies and grocery stores.

Nurse practitioners have assumed a greater role in the care of children in pediatric and primarycare offices. The Affordable Care Act and the recognition that delivery of medical care in the United States must evolve has changed the way we access our physicians. I routinely contact my own physician through secure email on MyMercy.

I recently attended the annual conference of the American Academy of Pediatrics. We had a great deal of discussion about the ‘pediatric office of the future,’ and how pediatricians could offer more convenient access for their patients. I am fortunate to work for Mercy, a health ministry already planning for the future of health care. Just look at the virtual care center construction on I-64 at Clarkson Road across from Chesterfield Mall. That’s where Mercy will coordinate 24/7/365 access to care throughout the four Midwestern states we serve and establish new and innovative ways for physicians to reach out to their patients.

Now, I’d like to hear from you. If you could design your dream pediatric office, what would

it look like? How would you contact your doctor?

How would you want to use mobile devices to connect with your doctor? Are there alternatives to the traditional face-to-face office visit you’d like to have available? Use your imagination.

If you have ideas you’d like to share, please email me directly at joseph.kahn@mercy.net.

I’m not lacking for emails, but I do want to know what you—as moms and dads, or as teens and young adults—want from your pediatrician as we develop a better model of care.

DEPRESSION IN CHILDREN

Gain Understanding, Empathy & Trust

D

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

EPRESSION IS KNOWN TO affect about one in 10 American adults; and for many, depression takes hold well before adulthood.

The National Institute of Mental Health reports that approximately 11 percent of adolescents have a depressive disorder by age 18. In fact, very young children can show signs of depression, notes one area expert.

Dr. Joan Luby, director of Washington University’s Early Emotional Development Program, recently authored a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. It finds that children diagnosed with depression as preschoolers are likely to suffer from depression as schoolage children and young adolescents. “Preschool children are not too young to experience depression, and the disorder is very important to identify early, as it may be more treatable earlier in life,” she says.

ongoing sleep or appetite problems, are generally irritable, or seem sad much of the time for a period of at least two weeks should be assessed. Parents can start with a visit to the child’s primary-care physician and seek referral to a mental health specialist.

“The diagnosis includes detailed interview of child and parents, and information from teachers or caregivers in out-of-home settings, such as daycare,” explains Dr. Ujjwal Ramtekkar, a Mercy Kids psychiatrist. “Additionally, rating scales and psychological testing may be required.

The information collected through this process is then analyzed to ascertain if the child meets criteria of depression. Currently, there are no specific medical tests like blood work or brain scans that can diagnose depression with certainty; however, in some cases, it is indicated to rule out medical conditions that may mimic depression.”

Many children who seem defiant or aggressive actually suffer from depression, anxiety or attachment disorders, says Shirley Crenshaw, a St. Louis area counselor specializing in attachment and trauma therapy. “I see children whose parents are

at their wits’ end,” Crenshaw says. “And a lot of the time, the issues relate back to very early trauma or lack of strong parent-child attachment in infancy.”

She notes that this is especially common among children in the foster care or adoption systems Continued on page 65

HOME DAVIDSON SCANDINAVIAN ANTIQUES

Treasures from the Old World

BY BRITTANY NAY

‌I

MAGINE TRAVELING BACK TO A TIME WHEN pristine French furniture and decadent Danish dinnerware filled stunning Scandinavian castles.

With Davidson Scandinavian Antiques, the dream of owning these rare pieces for your own home can become a reality.

The new antiques business, located at 2316 Schuetz Road in Maryland Heights, is set to open at the end of the month on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. through the end of the year, as well as online and by appointment.

Owner Don Davidson’s foray into antiques dealing began merely as a hobby. During the past 30 years, the former truck driver’s multi-milliondollar international warehousing, trucking and logistics company, Davidson Surface/Air, has led him to travel abroad, where he has made friends in Europe and Scandinavia, and even purchased a home in Denmark. During these European excursions, his friends began offering to sell him 17thand 18th-century antiques they found at castles and farms in small villages from Denmark, Sweden and Norway to Germany, England and France. “It

started with purchasing a few pieces for myself here and there, then it ended up being 200 or 300 pieces that I thought about selling. I would have a (Davidson Surface/Air) container half-empty, so I would fill it up with these antiques I bought,” Davidson explains. In addition to the transportation for his newfound antiques business, his logistics company also had the warehouses needed to store the items. “When I started to connect the dots, it fit together like a perfect puzzle.”

Davidson began selling many of the rare pieces at antiques shows in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Dallas. But he had hopes of bringing these unique gems to the people of St. Louis. With the launch of Davidson Scandinavian Antiques, it’s now attainable. The unassuming warehouse on Schuetz Road holds 17th- and 18th- century furniture and accessories ranging from $20 Danish dinnerware to extraordinarily exclusive pieces, including a Danish writing desk detailed with scrollwork (priced at $60,000), to a French mahogany bed that can be yours for $75,000.

Home New Homes Designed for Multiple Generations and Aging in Place Thanks to an improving U.S. economy, homeowners once again are seeking and paying for architectural design solutions that will enable them and their loved ones to age in place, according to a new American Institute of Architects (AIA) survey of more than 500 architecture firms. The economic upturn has spurred renewed demand for various special-function rooms and features, many of which all but disappeared from new residential architecture projects during the downturn, according to the AIA. Topping the list of special-function rooms showing an uptick in 2014 are dedicated in-law/ au pair suites, reflecting a substantial 29 percent increase. Elevators, ramps and on-grade entries also have shown increased demand.

“As many households become caretakers for aging relatives, separate living suites have become popular options for accommodations,” explains AIA chief economist Kermit Baker.

“Homeowners want to ensure that their homes can support the needs of aging parents, who may be staying for an extended period of time, and other visitors with accessibility needs.”

The Dugan by Stanton Homes is 3,184 square feet and wheelchair accessible, and features a second-story mother-in-law suite with elevator access.

O u td o o r l iv i n g ro o m s a l so s h owe d a healthy increase, up 14 percent, as did home offices, mud rooms, exercise/fitness rooms and safe rooms.

Top Honors for Founder of St. Louis Furniture Company St. Louis-based Goebel & Co. Furniture creative director and co-founder Martin Goebel has been named 2014 Young Woodworking Professional of the Year by Woodworking Network. The inaugural contest invited entrants ages 18 to 35 to submit their work on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter.

Goebel’s entry was a table comprised of a top created from World War II surplus aircraft-grade sugar pine on a base crafted from solid walnut timbers. The raw materials for the table were purchased at auction from a 103-year-old pipe organ company, which had been retooled during WWII for military component production.

“For this project, classic timber frame of both building and ship construction heavily influenced the design,” says Goebel, who was traditionally trained in cabinet and furniture making beginning at age 19 in Fort Bragg, California, at the College of the Redwoods. His professional education continued with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Fine Arts from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and a Master of Fine Arts in Furniture Design from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. While on the East Coast, Goebel spent time in the design and engineering departments of some of America’s premier Northeast furniture brands. A self-described “Saint Louisan to the core,” he returned home in 2011 to begin Goebel & Co. Furniture, which is capable of small-batch production for retailers to large-scale projects for hospitality spaces tailored to reflect unique experiences.

OMING HOME AFTER A long day’s work is a wonderful reprieve in this Creve Coeur manse. Built by Maritz and Young in 1927 on 1.85 acres, the home has been updated to include today’s demands, while still maintaining its original English Cotswold heritage. The options are endless: Pop in a movie in the large family room after prepping snacks in the adjoining eat-in kitchen, which includes stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a breakfast bar and walk-in pantry. Or, dive into your favorite book in the sunroom or den. Retreat to the renovated master suite to unwind in the light-filled marble bathroom with his-and-her sinks, a separate soaking tub, built-in vanity and walk-in shower. A separate, 2-story, 3-bedroom carriage house can be your escape—as an art studio, home office or guest suite. All this, while surrounded by top finishes, including built-in bookcases, cathedral ceilings, special millwork and wood floors.

This 5-bedroom, 6 full- and 1 half-bathroom home in the Ladue School District is listed for $2.15 million.

From its humble beginning in the founder’s basement, the Janet McAfee Real Estate network is now four decades strong and a recognized local leader. Today, the firm enjoys a corporate office in Ladue, more than 100 active professional agents and a significant presence in the St. Louis Central Corridor.

PROFILE ‌ eni Ryckman is a peopleD pleaser and a problem-solver.

Theses attributes, combined with her outstanding customer service and negotiation skills, are the reasons behind the Dielmann Sotheby’s agent’s success. Ryckman entered the real estate business 25 years ago after a friend’s company needed a part-time secretary.

As the company grew, so did its need for agents; Ryckman got her license and went full-time. Her background on the administrative side, she says, gives her an extra edge against the competition.

“When you’re doing administration, you make sure everything gets to the title company and everything gets closed—the Is are dotted and the Ts are crossed,” she says. “You know the

Born and raised in St. Louis City, and currently living in Ladue, the relocation specialist says she works all over, from the Central West End and University City to Chesterfield and Wildwood.

“I’m told I’m a people-pleaser,” she says. “I go above and beyond; because at the end of the day, after I’ve sold them a house, I maintain friendships with most of my clients. I love it when you find the right house for buyers. If I can reach their goals, and they’re happy, then everyone’s happy.”

KIM ANDERSON

THE EYE OF THE (MIZZOU) TIGERS

BY FRANK CUSUMANO

HE DOESN’T APPEAR TO HAVE MUCH IN common with big-time Division One head coaches: He doesn’t wear $1, 000 suits, he doesn’t try to act slick, he isn’t arrogant. He is sincere. And Kim Anderson is about the nicest guy you are going to meet. He is the future of Missouri basketball. I may be wrong, but I think Mizzou is in good hands.

When Anderson was hired, the questions were flying: Did they just hire a 59-year-old who has never been a Division One head coach and had never recruited a Division One player? How is he going to relate to the modern athlete? He grew up in Sedalia? Please!

What they got was a guy who was one of the great players in Mizzou history—a Big 8 Player of the Year who made it to the NBA. What they got is a terrific tactician, who won four conference titles and one national championship as the head coach at Central Missouri State. What they got is something they haven’t had: a true Missourian who wouldn’t leave the program even if North Carolina offered him the job.

What they have is a coach who will actually teach defense. Recent coaches have preached the ‘matador’ defense: You let the player go right by you, and yell, Ole! That ends with Anderson. He’s a Norm Stewart apostle who will demand that players play both ends of the floor.

Anderson may not have been Mizzou’s first choice, but I wasn’t my wife’s either. He has

wanted the job for years; and finally, he has it. He knows he’s not getting the keys to a Cadillac; the Tigers are not loaded with talent. Anderson thinks they could have a different leading scorer every night. He’s hired a great staff, and has coaches like Tim Fuller and Rob Fulford who can recruit nationally. Mizzou may surprise some people with the national talent they are on the cusp of bringing in. But unlike other coaches, Anderson won’t avoid the local talent. He says he wants guys who want to be Missouri Tigers.

We chatted recently: Favorite basketball moment.

Winning the first-ever Big 8 championship in 1976. I don’t think Coach Stewart had ever won one.

Most important thing you learned from Norm.

Survival.

Best player you’ve ever played with.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Wife’s knowledge of basketball?

Nine (out of 10), and it’s learned knowledge over 29 years of coaching. She’s very knowledgeable.

If there were no basketball in this world, what would you have done with your life?

I would have been you. I would have been a sportswriter or a sportscaster.

(My response to Kim: You should have aspired to higher things in life.)

KIM ANDERSON IS ABOUT THE NICEST GUY YOU ARE GOING TO MEET. HE IS THE FUTURE OF MISSOURI BASKETBALL. I MAY BE WRONG, BUT I THINK MIZZOU IS IN GOOD HANDS. FIVE THINGS I THINK: 1. With the exception of sports, food is my favorite activity. I have a suggestion: Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium. Incredible. Try the Big Bend Mafia.

KIM ANDERSON PHOTO BY BEN WALTON

2. I’m not a marathoner, but I covered the Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon put on by the Quinn Family Foundation. It was memorable: more than 12,000 runners from all 50 states running throughout downtown St. Louis and raising hundreds of thousands for charity.

3. Stan Kroenke is the owner of a team that hasn’t had a winning season in 11 years. It doesn’t matter. If he has a press conference in a few weeks with the mayor and governor and says, Let’s make this work. I want to stay, he could have many—not all—but many eating out of his hands.

4. When I was growing up in the dark ages, Chaminade was a place that you didn’t want to go if you played basketball. Now, I cannot remember many teams ever with as much talent on their roster.

5. Potential means you haven’t done it yet. The shame in the Oscar Taveras’ death is he will never get a chance to realize that potential. He had a big swing, big talent and a big smile. R.I.P., Oscar.

The Barter System HALLOWEEN IS OVER. THE COSTUMES AND gear have been returned to the storage closet.

The pumpkin is in the garbage. Or, if you live in my house, the jack-o-lantern is slowly imploding on the front stoop—the face falling inward and sliding down like that Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark. But I digress. Halloween is over, yet one thing remains; one wonderful, awful, terrific nagonizing thing: candy.

Whether you have children or grandchildren, work at an office, or live in a neighborhood, you have more candy lying around your house at this moment than at any other time of year. Cranky, Whiny and Punch have a pillowcase each, and contained in that pillowcase is power. It’s a form of currency, really. For the next few weeks, our house will be run entirely on the barter system. And just like actual currency, different candy has different value.

I’m not even going to waste time with the noncandy items—even money itself has no value in the Halloween fiscal system, the ‘cand-economy,’ if you will. (Sure, you could buy five candy bars with that cash, but in the immediate trick-or-treat haggling, it’s nothing. It’s a true testament to the psychology of the reward system.) The raisins, pencil stickers, and granola bars are the pennies—worthless, a hollow gesture to drop in the metaphorical tip jar of a sibling.

Next up the chain in value are the candy items most kids hate—candy that leaves children scratching their head. Why would the neighbor give me Whoppers? Does he not like me? As a parent, the way I know which candy is included in this grouping is by simply looking into the ‘empty’ pillowcase that once held the goods. Invariably at the bottom of the bag are the wretched rejects, the candy so worthless it ends up in the hamper. As I stare down at the flavored Tootsie Rolls, the Good & Plenty, the Raisinets and the Jolly Ranchers, I know they have

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER no place in the sweet fiscal system. They also have no place in my dryer, so I quickly toss them out.

Next, we have the small bills of the sugar currency: the fruity sweets. Starburst, Smarties, gummies, Skittles and Nerds are lumped in; the marginally valuable fun-sized candies that one might use to include as a bonus in a swap or toss into the guitar case of a street musician. Then, there are the ‘Benjamins,’ the Snickers, Butterfingers and Baby Ruths. They are the small, but priceless, epicenter of the sugar fiscal system. Everybody loves them, every kid will do anything to procure them. I once got Whiny to hose out a particularly repellent trash can for an assortment of aforementioned goodies.

And then, we have the gold standard. The Krugerrand of the Halloween take: the full-sized candy bar. Funny that something so seemingly ordinary could take on such significance. But like designer jeans in Eastern Europe, it does. This is the type of currency that could survive a scorchedearth scenario. They are rare, and they are priceless. The benefactor who bestows the full-sized candy bar is known far and wide. He is a patron, a Medici, of Halloween. And his generosity, like in any good economy, trickles down. The recipient of the prize can use the power of the candy for good or evil. A child can torment a sibling, or use the bar to coax behavior, influence chores and even reward a worthy feat. Kind of makes me wish I were participating in this new economy; that is, until next week, when I confiscate the capital and crash the system.

THEATER REVIEW

BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

All that Jazz WHIPLASH

RATING: 5 out of 10

A

LL RIGHT, LET’S cut to the chase, because clearly I’m missing something: This film has won prize after prize. The advertising boasts words like ‘riveting’ and ‘astounding.’ Sadly, I was neither riveted nor astounded.

Andrew (Miles Teller) is a student at an elite music conservatory in New York with his sights set on the renowned studio jazz band conducted by the infamous Terrence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons). Fletcher berates his musicians with epithets and slurs about their race, religion and sexual orientation, all in an attempt to coax a stirring performance from his young charges.

Andrew is indoctrinated into Fletcher’s abusive method, but when he is pushed to the breaking point, the tables turn.

Here’s the thing: Even if you buy into that abusive-but-beloved teacher cliché, this scenario strains believability. It’s hard to imagine any elite Manhattan school having a teacher freely throwing ethnic slurs about like hello and goodbye. Even then, if you’re willing to suspend disbelief for that, a second problem awaits: Andrew, our hero, is a bit of an a$$. He’s awful to a girlfriend, intolerant to his family, and gladly steps on his friends to move up at school. In the end, that’s the point of the film. The music is the only thing that matters. A lot of sacrifices need to be made to produce a Buddy Rich or a Charlie Parker—that’s fine. It would just be nice to have someone to root for along the way.

A Kid Like Jake

BY MARK BRETZ

THE STORY

RATING: 4.5 out of 5

Oh, the pressure! As the parents of a 4-year-old, Greg and Alexandra are steeped in stress. That’s because the New York City yuppies are convinced that they must spend thousands of dollars to get Jake into one of Manhattan’s prestigious academies for kindergarten students.

COMPANY: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis

In their quest, the couple consults with Judy, the head of Jake’s pre-school, to compile a list of more than a dozen such institutions where Jake’s artistic and creative gifts can be allowed to flower, regardless of cost.

VENUE: Emerson Studio Theatre, Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road

While Judy acknowledges Jake’s apparent talents, she also encourages his parents to utilize Jake’s obvious ‘differences’ as a carrot on the end of a politically correct stick to wave before the schools’ admissions advisors. As Greg and Alex continue to dance around Jake’s predilection to play with dolls and dresses, and his fixation on Cinderella, Judy infers that Jake’s gender complexity actually could help him get into one of those schools.

HIGHLIGHTS Daniel Pearle’s taut one-act drama is a raw and grueling experience that looks at transgender issues from both intelligent and emotional perspectives.

Rep associate artistic director Seth Gordon’s direction is pinpoint and unswerving in showing the wide spectrum of emotions experienced by Greg and Alex as they contemplate with trepidation the possibility of their son becoming their daughter.

DATES: Through Nov. 16 TICKETS: $50-$65; 968-4925 or repstl.org More reviews available at laduenews.com

Pearle has written a story with two strong undercurrents: The primary one is the struggle of Jake’s parents with his gender identity. More troubling than that, however, is their obsession with selecting a kindergarten ‘academy’ for their child.

The Rep’s presentation is highlighted by a gripping performance by Leigh Williams as Alex, who simmers through a series of challenging sessions about Jake with Joan, as well as her somewhat timid husband, before reaching a shocking and enormously affecting meltdown in the work’s climax.

Susan Pellegrino counters Alex’s emotional personality with Judy’s nuanced, professional veneer before finally addressing the elephant in the room in a frank and straightforward confrontation with the bewildered parents.

As Greg, Alex Hanna presents a polished young professional, ironically a psychiatrist, who has significant trouble communicating with his wife even when he thinks he doesn’t.

A Kid Like Jake superbly exemplifies the very purpose of The Rep’s Studio Theatre productions: To challenge, to provoke and to stimulate intellectual and emotional response.

Schlafly Bottleworks

A Maplewood Mainstay

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

SCHLAFLY BOTTLEWORKS HAS BEEN AN anchor for the revitalization of Maplewood since it opened in the late-1990s. In addition to producing some fine beers, the space also plays host to a number of special events, including a weekly seasonal farmers market. The Bottleworks also is home to a top-notch neighborhood eatery with an underrated menu of fine, creative fare, much of it sourced from local purveyors and its own expansive on-site garden.

We were pretty peckish during our most recent Bottleworks visit, so we started off with an order of Nachos ($11), a bed of crispy chips piled high with chorizo, creamy and spicy pepper jack cheese sauce, beans, sour cream and guacamole. Make sure you have a few folks to share this with—it’s a healthy portion! Next up, a cup of Elk Chili ($4; $6/bowl), one of our favorites. More a stew than a soup, it’s thick and hearty with a little bit of a darker flavor, thanks to the use of elk instead of ground beef.

The kitchen at the Bottleworks definitely does comfort food right. Take the Bison-Chorizo Meatloaf ($19), for example. This tasty favorite combines lean bison and spicy sausage, sweetly augmented with a glaze made of Fitz’s Root Beer and tomato, paired with a rotating selection of veggies (a squash medley for us) and potato wedges. The flavors are reminiscent of Mom’s, but with some subtle bite and textural complexities that are due, in part, to the dual meat combo.

For those who want something a bit different

than homestyle specialties, the Bottleworks always has some menu items to satisfy. The Spicy Red Curry ($14) is just such a dish. A sweet and spicy Indian red vegetable curry, chunks of potatoes and jasmine rice form the basis of this dish, and diners have the option of adding chicken or tofu. We chose tofu, which proved a wise choice.

All too often, tofu seems to be a rubbery, undercooked afterthought; but the tofu in this curry was lightly browned and had a nice, firm texture and a slightly sweet flavor. It’s guaranteed to satisfy even the most die-hard carnivore.

While the food is fantastic, a trip to the Bottleworks isn’t complete without a couple of beers to wash it down with. This time around, it was two of our favorite Schlafly seasonal brews: Coffee Stout ($5) and Porter ($5), both available during the fall and winter months. The coffee stout features Kaldi’s java, which lends some dark coffee notes to the brew, but doesn’t overwhelm it.

We recommend pairing both of these beers with a shot of fine Irish whiskey on the side.

The Bottleworks is a true neighborhood place, with plenty of seating in the main dining room, bar and the patio, which was recently enclosed.

There’s always something happening, from live music to discussion groups and, of course, tours of the brewing facility itself. Stop in for a brew and some good eats. You won’t be disappointed.

O’Fallon Brewery is celebrating fall with the launch of two new beers: King Louie Toffee Stout and Imperial Pumpkin Ale. The King Louie Toffee Stout was created in collaboration with Bissinger’s Handcrafted Chocolatier of St. Louis, using a proprietary toffee blend with hints of caramelized sugar and vanilla. The latest in O’Fallon’s Brewer’s Stash series, the Imperial Pumpkin Ale is a twist on its popular pumpkin brew with a special focus on flavors like clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and other baking spices.

ANSWERS ON PAGE 68

COVENANT HOUSE MISSOURI continued from page 22 apartments on the fourth floor. “The staff said that kids would go look out the window all night, and they were shocked that we were still out there. They didn’t realize people cared that much and would want to help them.”

The third annual Sleep Out will take place on Thursday, Nov. 20, and Covenant House has a goal of recruiting 50 sleepers to raise $200,000.

The Sleep Out has been vital in raising awareness, as well, because many of the participants are community leaders who bring their companies or networks to the cause, Wagener adds. “Last year, 47 percent of our kids were from St. Louis

County,” she says. “Youth homelessness has no geographical boundaries. It’s a systemic issue, not just an inner-city issue.”

Covenant House’s 45-day crisis program is among the services supported by the event, Wagener notes. The crisis program usually is the first contact the teens have with the nonprofit, and it’s all about stabilization, she explains.

“They usually don’t have paperwork like a birth certificate or a photo ID that you need to get back into school or get a job.” Once the basics are taken care of, the teens can work with an employment counselor to complete training programs, meet

with a psychiatrist, if needed, and eventually graduate to an internship with local corporate partners such as Panera Bread or HM Dunn Aerospace. They can stay in the transitional housing program for up to two years, saving money and learning life skills.

“These kids are so worth the investment,” Wagener says. “Think about the trajectory they’re on—for many, the path they’re heading down is to an institution or teen pregnancy, or some kids would lose their lives on the streets. This is effective intervention, and working closely with them helps them change that trajectory.”

young children, she also is honing in on the parent-child bond. “We know very little about treatment of preschool depression; and for this reason, we are conducting a treatment study of a parent-child play therapy that is focused on emotional development,” she says. “It’s not clear whether an early intervention might change the course of the disorder, but we hope and expect it might. Depression itself tends to be a chronic and recurring disorder.”

Luby also notes that there does seem to be

a hereditary aspect to depression. “It may be genetic, and it also may be psychosocial in that a depressed parent may parent their child differently than a healthy parent does,” she says.

It is for this reason that Crenshaw involves the whole family in therapy, working with parents and children together. “I really want people to know that there’s no such thing as a ‘bad seed,’ ” she says. “Children aren’t born bad, and there’s no child that can’t be helped. With the right treatment, kids—and families—can get better.”

DEPRESSION IN CHILDREN continued from page 50 who were not able to form early trusting relationships with adult caregivers.

“These children show defensive behaviors that look like anger and rage. But the kids are really protecting themselves. What they feel underneath the behaviors are shame and worthlessness,” Crenshaw says. Her therapeutic approach focuses heavily on teaching parents to understand the underlying issues and respond with empathy, building trust.

As Luby continues to study depression in
