We’re back this week with more factoids about St. Louis, in celebration of the city’s sestercentennial birthday month. Even if history isn’t your thing, it’s hard not to be amazed by (and more than a little proud of) what we’ve accomplished over the centuries. And what we have to offer to residents and visitors alike—starting with more free major attractions than any other city in the U.S. except Washington, D.C. Then there’s the largest traditional Japanese Garden in North America (at Missouri Botanical Garden).

And who would have guessed that the largest collection of mosaic art in the world (41 million tiles) is not in Europe or the Middle East, but in our very own Cathedral Basilica?

Or that the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra is the secondoldest in the U.S.—predating those of much earlier cultural Brahmins like Boston and Philadelphia? And this next one may not excite anybody but history buffs: Every major military figure of the Civil War was posted right here at Jefferson Barracks—Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and James Longstreet!

And while our fair town has been immortalized for hosting the 1904 World Exhibition, that distinction is just the tip of the 1904 iceberg. It is widely known that hot dogs, hamburgers and the ice cream cone all were popularized at the fair—but not as well publicized is that Buster Brown children’s shoes and the now-omnipresent turnstile also debuted there. Or that in 1929 a St. Louis businessman developed ‘Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda,’ or as we know it, 7UP. So little space, so many St. Louis standouts ... the final T&S walk down memory lane is slated for next week.

WE’RE SORRY | In our Jan. 29 issue on p.10, we incorrectly listed Northwestern Mutual-St. Louis’ donation goal for 2015. The correct amount is $500,000. The Blues players on p.10 of our Feb. 5 issue who are competing in the Olympics will be representing six different countries, not solely the U.S. as previously stated.

How do you spell mayhem?

Some would say ‘S-U-P-E-R B-O-W-L.’ Others would add ‘A-L-C-O-H-O-L.’ A few hours after the pitiful Denver Broncos whinnied their last against the marauding Seattle Seahawks, police say an inebriated man in a Central West End home shot another in the leg during an argument over the game. At press time, the victim was hospitalized and the gunman, a relative, was still at large. Most online comments about the crime were almost as thoughtless as the act itself, but one follower of the story sagely observed: “Booze and bullets don’t mix.”

Speaking of Super Bowl Sunday, most took the annual occasion to kibbitz and nosh, others to, uh, Zumba?

Participants in a free Zumba session at Chesterfield Mall before the game gave their all to straining and sweating.

Meanwhile, their other halves, no doubt, slurped ’n’ snacked in preparation for an evening of armchair quarterbacking watching very large men strain and sweat for three-plus hours.

Seems there’s a local controversy that almost rivals New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s ‘Bridgegate’ right here in the County seat. There’s no pressure like political pressure, and some would characterize the actions of County Executive Charlie Dooley as outright strong-arming.

Perhaps Dooley is putting his own spin on St. Louis City’s 1 percent employment tax for residents? Dooley has ‘asked’ (air quotes) for county government workers to ‘donate’ (air quotes) 1 percent to his reelection campaign. One could rationalize that many of those employees need to dance with the one that brung ’em … if Dooley’s voted out, they’re back on the bread line, so to speak.

But at a recent meeting out of the office with 50 such workers, Dooley reportedly raised his voice and let loose a profanitylaced tirade that made the amount seem anything but discretionary. Of course, the boss’ spin doctors spun away: Dooley’s

OF THE

just enthusiastic and outspoken, the folks present were all pumped up about kicking off the campaign. Whatever.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Steve Stengel, Dooley’s chief rival in the Aug. 5 Democratic primary election, released a statement declaring he would never subject his employees to ‘mandatory’ campaign meetings or donations.

Dooley has been county exec since 2003, when he was appointed to succeed Buzz Westfall, who died in office.

To the eight or so families whose dogs have been killed in coyote attacks since December, these wily creatures are not reminiscent of cartoons, but of horror movies.

Six other small dogs have been

LADUE

attacked, but survived, according to Tom Meister, wildlife damage biologist with Missouri Department of Conservation. A dog lover himself, Meister understands how people might view coyotes as the criminals of the canine world.

Unfortunately, dog owners aren’t aware that a coyote may only be responding to a perceived threat from the pet. Many small dogs rush and bark at animals much bigger than they are. All the reported attacks have been at night, when coyotes out hunting squirrels and rabbits are acting to protect their territory or their young, and respond according to instinct.

Dog owners are tempting fate if they let small dogs out to roam alone; accompanied pets, especially those on a leash, are safer. If you do happen to see a coyote, harass it: bang pots and pans, aim for it with the garden hose. But deterrence is key. For instance, clean up seed below the bird feeder, leave outside lights on, don’t leave dog food outside, put out garbage cans only on the morning of pickup and pick up fallen fruit in summer.

Control is difficult, if not impossible; coyotes are crafty animals. Meister says traps have been set around St. Louis Country Club, but because they’re as likely to catch a dog or cat as a coyote, pet owners may disable them. Coyotes are here to stay, Meister acknowledges. Since we can’t get rid of them, he emphasizes, we have to learn to live with them.

Shen Yun celebrates Falun Gong. Translation: This extravaganza chronicling 5,000 years of Chinese culture through music and dance is reportedly a feast for eyes and ears, but also a strong statement against the authoritarian crackdown on a spiritual movement the Communist regime has perceived as a threat to the state. Reviewers have praised the dazzling production for its ability to thrill, irrespective of message, although its portrayal of political dissent and repression is there for anyone to consider. It’s at the Peabody Feb. 14.

The NRA would have us believe that the best protection against criminal threats to residents where they live … well, and anywhere else … is a gun. But what if guns are what a criminal is after? Webster cops say burglars broke into a residence on E. Jackson Street and made off with four, count ’em, four guns. Meanwhile, in Kirkwood, cops reported two incidents of missing guns after separate auto break-ins. Six deadly weapons in the wrong hands—not a bad week for the knuckleheads. So if you’re a gun owner, don’t be a knucklehead yourself. Guns must be secured at home, perhaps in a safe for that purpose, to protect against theft … and inquisitive kids who want to play cops and robbers.

And don’t forget to unload them.

COVER STORY

by tony di martino

CANCER KILLED MORE THAN 580,000 of our friends, neighbors, co-workers and family members last year. More than 1 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with the disease annually, reports the American Cancer Society. Each of them, and their loved ones, have to hear the chilling words, It’s cancer.

Researchers at the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine are determined to end the bad news. “Our goal is to find the most effective, least toxic treatments today—and to eliminate the threat of cancer entirely tomorrow,” says director Dr. Timothy Eberlein.

Siteman is an international leader in research and care for patients with all types of cancer. Each year nearly 8,000 newly diagnosed individuals and more than 30,000 follow-up patients benefit from the center’s groundbreaking work, as do patients around the world whose tests or treatments were discovered or developed there. It’s the only cancer center in Missouri designated a ‘Comprehensive Cancer Center’ by the National Cancer Institute.

Scientists and physicians affiliated with Siteman hold more than $160 million in research and related training grants. “We focus on innovative work that’s rapidly incorporated into lifesaving patient treatments,” Eberlein says. “Our ever-expanding knowledge of the human genome has opened doors to targeted, personalized drugs and treatment based on each individual’s genes. This is the future of cancer care, and we’re at the forefront.”

Last year Siteman researchers worked to improve treatments for breast, skin, pancreatic and colorectal cancers; outcomes for bone marrow transplant patients; and chemotherapy treatments for malignant brain tumors. Siteman patients have access to more than 250 cutting-edge clinical studies, many of them collaborative efforts with other leading cancer centers throughout the country. The center also provides outreach activities, including screenings and education, for tens of thousands of individuals annually. “But none of our work is possible without continued community support,”

Ask the Expert

Eberlein says.

The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital presents its annual illumination Gala April 26 at The Ritz-Carlton.

Special guest is actor/comedian Martin Short.

Co-chairs are Joseph Stieven, CEO of Stieven Capital Advisors, and Danny Ludeman, former president and CEO of Wells Fargo Advisors.

Both companies are presenting sponsors. Last year’s gala raised nearly $1.8 million for the Foundation’s Cancer Frontier Fund, created to help Siteman researchers accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.

“The illumination Gala celebrates the worldclass research and progress Siteman is making every day for cancer patients,” says Stieven, who serves on the foundation board.

“I’m honored to shine a light on the advancements Siteman is making toward a SPECIAL GUEST MARTIN SHORT brighter, more hopeful future by treating, PERFORMS AT preventing and ultimately curing cancer,” ILLUMINATION Ludeman says.

Research has resulted in higher survival rates for many cancers. “But to those of us at Siteman, and to anyone who has ever lost a loved one, cancer is still public enemy No. 1,” Eberlein says. “We won’t rest until we find a cure—and the illumination Gala brings us closer to that goal each year.”

ILLUMINATION GALA

Question: I have been told that occasionally missing a period is normal because I am so fit and active. Is this really typical?

Answer: It should never be considered normal to miss a period unless you have only recently begun menstruating or you are entering menopause. If you fall into the category of women who should menstruate regularly and you miss a period, it often means one of two things: either you are pregnant or you may not be supplying enough energy to your body to maintain its normal processes, including menstruation. The medical term for skipping a period for more than three months is amenorrhea. The medical term for having fewer menstrual cycles than expected is oligomenorrhea.

Most can agree that the benefits of exercise in women far outweigh the risks associated with it, but with certain sports that emphasize leanness of the female athlete, the female athlete triad can occur. The female athlete triad is the term used to describe underweight females who experience amenorrhea and osteoporosis, which is defined as decreased bone density for age.

Joy English, MD

Orthopedic Injury Clinic

Washington Univeristy & Barnes-Jewish Orthopedic Center 14532 S. Outer 40 Drive Chesterfield, MO 63017

(314) 514-3500

The effects of having inadequate energy can pose adverse side effects for females.

Amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea, as a result of low energy availability, can result in infertility. Osteoporosis, as a result of low energy availability, can often result in stress fractures. For most women, peak bone mineral density occurs around age 20, and it is thought to drop off every year from then on. If a woman is suffering from decreased bone density at age 20, she may never regain the bone mass she has lost, which becomes important later on in life. Lastly, women who are encouraged to remain lean or underweight due to the sport in which they participate, may struggle with psychological stressors. The diseases that can stem from this include anxiety, depression, anorexia and bulimia, all of which can result in serious medical complications.

In order to restore normal menstrual cycles, you must increase energy availability within the body, either by decreasing your training load or increasing your energy intake through diet. When normal menstrual function is restored, this is a good indicator that you are on your way to achieving and maintaining good bone health as well.

If you have had frequent stress fractures, abnormal menstrual cycles or suffer from 12, 2014 | townandstyle.com | 9 disordered eating, you may want to speak with your doctorFEBRUARY for further guidance.

JAN GREENBERG

The Mad Potter,

written by St. Louisan JAN GREENBERG and SANDRA JORDAN, has gathered quite a few accolades since it was published last year, including a 2014 Sibert Honor for Nonfiction and plaudits from the American Library Association and School Library Journal.

Did you know our town has one of the oldest and largest camera clubs in the nation? The St. Louis Camera Club, founded in 1914, has more than 300 members of all skill levels and meets weekly at The Ethical Society.

But St. Louisans were snapping their shutters long before the club was officially established: documentation exists showing a Gateway City photography group presenting lantern slides as early as 1891. The club celebrates its centennial through Aug. 16 with an exhibition at The Sheldon Art Galleries.

a contemporary art gallery that features cutting-edge artists, has been awarded a two-year grant from the

Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

The foundation is dedicated to the advancement of the visual arts and ensuring that Warhol’s open-minded spirit will continue to have an impact for generations to come.

“In addition to the Warhol grant, White Flag is also hosting a satellite performance of the 2014 Whitney Biennial here in St. Louis,” notes owner Matt Strauss.

[ synchro sensation ] ANNA ILIVICKY

Three times a week, Clayton sophomore Anna Ilivicky spends time with 18 of her friends, but they don’t congregate at any of the usual teen hangout spots. Rather, they meet on the ice. For nine years, Ilivicky has been a member of the Saint Louis Synergy Junior synchronized skating team. “You form this cool bond with 19 other girls, and you go through everything together,” she says. “We’re like a little family.”

Last month, the team represented the U.S. at the Mozart Cup in Austria, the first time a team from Missouri competed, and it placed eight out of 17. Junior teams from all over the globe participated. To qualify, Synergy had to pass muster with the U.S. Figure Skating Association, the sport’s national governing body.

The team hasn’t always been an international contender. Begun as a recreational program at the Webster Groves Recreation Center, it initially focused on local competitions. “Our coach, Ramona Peterson, helped change the way we do things, and we became more competitive and serious,” Ilivicky says.

Ilivicky supplements team practice each week with hours of skating and private lessons. “My biggest strength is that I have a good work ethic,” she says. “If the coaches say I need to correct something, I try to apply that, and I try hard to improve each time I skate.”

She hopes her team eventually makes it to the Junior World Cup Challenge, which they missed qualifying for by only .36 points this year. “It’s one of the biggest honors you can have,” Ilivicky says.

Another huge accomplishment for the team was earning silver in the 2013 Dr. Porter Classic in Ann Arbor, Mich. “The only team that beat us was Canadian, so we call our silver the American Gold,” Ilivicky says. “We didn’t think we had a chance. It was kind of an epiphany moment.”

TOWN TALK

[ hoop dreams ] Chaminade’s Jayson Tatum is only a sophomore, but already the 6-foot-8 shooting guard has proven his worth on the basketball court, netting several offers from Division I colleges. Although he’s waiting to decide on a school, he is grateful for the interest and scholarship opportunities, he says. “Being recognized is one of the best feelings,” he says.

Tatum’s lengthy list of accolades includes being ranked the No. 2 recruit and top 2016 graduating player in the Midwest by scout.com. Tatum also was singled out as a standout player at the USA Basketball men’s 2012 developmental national team mini-camp in Colorado Springs, according to insidethehall.com.

Last year was an especially momentous one for Tatum. He was named Metro Catholic Conference co-player and JAYSON TATUM newcomer of the year and was a member of the USA Basketball Men’s U16 National team. After earning a 5-0 season record, the team traveled to Uruguay, winning gold at the FIBA Americas U16 Championship. Tatum hopes to be chosen for the U17 national team that will compete in Dubai this summer.

Tatum’s passion for basketball began when he was only 3 years old. The sport is something of a family pastime—his father played for Saint Louis University and professionally in the Netherlands. “I grew up watching my family, older cousins and uncles play basketball, and always had a love for the game,” Tatum says. “My dad got me started, but when I first played he was overseas, so my mom always would take me to practices.”

talk to… [trent frederic]

If there’s any place Trent Frederic is at home, it’s on the ice. The De Smet Jesuit High School sophomore plays forward for both the U16 AAA Blues and his high school team. He was ranked second in his age group among St. Louis players by the 2013 U.S. Hockey Report U14 Nationals Review, which also ranks him No. 11 of 60 players in his age group overall.

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED PLAYING HOCKEY?

I started playing with the Webster Wings— now called the Webster Rockets—when I was 3 or 4. After that, I played for the Chesterfield Falcons for a year or two, and started playing with the AAA Blues when I was 9 or 10. I’ve been playing with the team ever since.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE SPORT?

I love the speed of the game, going out of town for tournaments and all the friends I’ve made.

WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST STRENGTHS?

I’m a two-way player, so I play both offense and defense. I know how to move the puck, and I work hard.

TRENT FREDERIC

ARE THERE ANY GAMES YOU’RE PARTICULARLY PROUD OF?

When I was in seventh grade, I played in a big tournament, the Quebec Pee-Wee Tournament. We beat a team 5-4 in the quarterfinals, and I had three of those goals.

ANY GOALS YOU’RE WORKING TOWARD?

I would like to play college, major league or Canadian hockey.

FEBRUARY 12, 2014

EVERY TIME I read about a celebrity in the news for some kind of mischief, I see it as both a tragedy and an opportunity. Justin Bieber is the latest headliner, after being arrested for drunken driving, resisting arrest and driving without a valid license, while also admitting to smoking weed. He’s obviously not the first 19-year-old boy to do something impulsive and stupid, just one of the most famous ones.

Notice I said boy, not man. We sometimes forget that the brains of young men don’t fully form until their early to mid-20s, leaving them vulnerable to not thinking before they act. Add in too much fame and money, too early (and probably a lack of consistent parental guidance), and this is what results.

If you are worried about the effect Bieber’s story will have on your children, let me offer some reassurance and food for thought. There are many things parents do each day that are more damaging than anything Bieber can inflict.

First, we need to curb our cultural preoccupation with fame and celebrity. Stop watching TV shows that glamorize stupid behavior, especially reality shows that bequeath celebrity status to people because of … nothing! These give kids the idea that what’s important is to get attention any way you can. They set the harmful precedent that being rich and famous is what makes people happy, and if fame comes via getting in trouble, so be it.

We also need to stop pushing kids to grow up before they are ready emotionally and psychologically. I cringe when I see photos of kids as young as 5 going to concerts of teen stars. Parents unknowingly set these folks up as role models for their children and condition them to value externals like appearance, celebrity and money.

Too many parents are not monitoring kids in elementary and middle school who use social networking sites like Instagram and Facebook. I don’t think kids at these ages have the maturity, perspective, impulse control or wisdom to handle the images and information that pours from these sites. They get overwhelmed, and have a hard time understanding what is real versus fantasy.

We have a responsibility to direct our children to role models who embody something deeper and more valuable than celebrity status. We need to watch TV shows and movies with our kids, and use them to start conversations about integrity, right and wrong, perspective and values. Use Justin Bieber’s story to ask questions about what your kids think about his actions so that you can get into their heads and see how they are seeing the world. Don’t judge; listen and learn.

Add your perspective when they are open to it, and help them see things in a different way.

Turn off the boob tube and other gadgets and go outside and play. Eat dinner together without cell phones and TV’s on. Play board games and read books together. And most important, model, model, model! Kids always mirror the adult world around them, so make sure you are living out what you want them to learn and emulate.

Modern, MeMorable, Magical: Your Wedding Says Everything About You.

COVER STORY

FOUR SEASONS]

by stephanie zeilenga

WHETHER ORGANIZING A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE by Nelly, getting a mechanical bull for the ballroom, or figuring out how to incorporate bling into a wedding meal, it’s all part of a normal day for the Four Seasons. “If it’s not illegal or immoral, we can make it happen,” says Tim Powers, director of sales and marketing.

Each year, about 30 couples exchange vows at Missouri’s only AAA five-diamond hotel, a place that can offer couples everything from bridesmaid luncheons and rehearsal dinners to morning-after brunches and spa and salon services. Practically every element is customizable, director of catering Kelly Rosenblatt says, and to ensure a memorable event, the hotel’s wedding experts work collaboratively with couples. “Our No. 1 job is to take the bride and groom’s dream and make it a reality with as little stress possible,” adds wedding consultant Danielle Minninger.

The wedding team says no request is too elaborate, or detail too small, for them to tackle. Figuring out how to incorporate memorable details creatively is part of the fun of the job, Rosenblatt says. “We often give a nod to a cultural element, or to where the couple got engaged or are going on their honeymoon. One couple had their first date in a movie theater and then got engaged at the movies, so we set up a concession stand at their reception with movie theater popcorn and candy.”

That personal touch applies to the menu, too. “The chefs talk to the couple directly, so they get that one-on-one experience,” Minninger says. After hearing a bride list rosewater as a favorite flavor, the chef prepared chocolates with rosewater to leave in the guest bedrooms.

Overlooking the Mississippi River and with stellar views of the Arch, the Four

Seasons provides an iconic St. Louis backdrop.

Many couples have taken advantage of that by adding a little extra sparkle to their e v e n t — l i t e r a l l y.

“We can customize fireworks displays, and we’ve done WEDDING CONSULTANT DANIELLE MINNINGER fireworks that have PHOTO BY BILL BARRETT been a complete surprise for the bride,” Minninger says. The Four Seasons also makes honeymoon planning easy with access to 90 hotels around the world. “We can help coordinate with other Four Seasons and work with that property to get a great rate or an upgrade,” Rosenblatt says.

The best compliment, says Minninger, is when a family chooses the hotel for a second wedding. “We once did weddings for two sisters who were complete opposites in personality and decor preferences,” she says. “The second sister wanted to work with us because of the great experience she had with her sibling’s event. Weddings tend to be a one-time event, so when we do a wedding for a second daughter, that is the greatest thank you.”

THE FOUR SEASONS IS LOCATED AT 999 N. SECOND ST. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WEDDING PACKAGES, VISIT FOURSEASONS.COM/STLOUIS/WEDDINGS OR CALL 314.881.2031.

SHE SAID

by stephanie zeilenga

[YES!

IT WAS ALREADY A NIGHT to remember when the Cardinals won the World Series in 2011, but when Bailey Nihiser bumped into high school acquaintance Logan Meltabarger at Patty O’s downtown, a more personal history was put in motion. “We both had attended Marquette High School and were in the same social group, but never really connected outside of that,” Bailey says.

This time, something clicked. It didn’t take long for these lovebirds to know their relationship was headed to the altar, and in October 2013, Logan proposed. “We were on the fast track from the beginning and had an immediate connection,” Bailey says. “When I met Logan’s little girl, Elle, who is 5, that was when it solidified, when she became a part of my life.”

Logan assembled a crowd of loved ones for the proposal on the rooftop of Washington Avenue’s Jive and Wail, where the couple had their first date. When Bailey got there, a red carpet leading to Logan was waiting.

“He proposed with poster boards, like in the movie Love Actually,” Bailey recalls.

The couple’s song, Steve Moakler’s “Thing About Us,” was playing, but not electronically.

Logan had spent PHOTO BY ANDREA FISCHMAN six months tracking down the singer to invite him to perform a private concert at the engagement.

The couple will exchange vows in an intimate outdoor ceremony in Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Ill., close to where Logan’s parents live in Naperville. “I’m ready to see all the planning come together, and I’m really looking forward to making our family one piece,” Bailey says. She will wear a wedding gown with elements similar to those in Elle’s flower girl dress, and all the flowers will be white. “We’re having peonies, garden roses and hydrangeas—big, fluffy romantic flowers,” Bailey says.

The couple lives in O’Fallon, Mo. Bailey is a human resources generalist for Wainwright Industries and Logan is a process and automation engineer for Express Scripts.

ANNE FITZGERALD & LOGAN McELWAIN] by stephanie zeilenga | photos by susie vreeland

9 | 13 | 2013

ST. LOUISAN ANNE FITZGERALD and Kansas native Logan McElwain lived near each other in Kansas City, but never met. The stars aligned for the couple in 2010, after both had moved to Denver, Colo. “My friend Blake played on a softball team with Logan, and kept talking about how awesome and funny he was,” Anne says. This sparked a friendship, which quickly turned into something more.

Two years later, after a proposal on a summer hike in Crest Butte, Colo., Anne and Logan began planning a picturesque Missouri wine country wedding. Defiance’s Chandler Hill Vineyards provided the perfect setting. “We wanted an outdoorsy feel, and the views at Chandler Hill are unreal—that place is gorgeous,” Anne says.

The couple exchanged vows during the winery’s deck, which provides sweeping views of rolling hills. With a backdrop so stunning, they wanted to keep the rest of the wedding simple. The reception centerpieces were handmade by Anne and her mother, and pops of sunny yellow—in the bridesmaids bouquets, the groomsmen’s boutonnieres and the flower girls’ dresses—helped to brighten the grays and blacks of the bridal party’s attire.

Seeing her husband to-be for the first time that day outshines everything else, Anne says, but she also loved being surrounded by all her favorite people. “I don’t know when again in my lifetime I’ll have everyone I love the most and who I grew up with in the same room,” she says.

The McElwains live in Arvada, Colo., where Logan is a catastrophe claims adjuster for The Hartford, and Anne is a healthcare IT consultant for HPG Resources.

[BACKTALK A NEW KIND OF ADVICE COLUMN by raschelle burton & patty hannum VALENTINE’S DAY IS FAST APPROACHING AND IT IS YET ANOTHER YEAR WHERE I DON’T HAVE ANYONE SPECIAL. HOW CAN I GET THROUGH THIS DAY WITHOUT FEELING LIKE A LOSER AT LOVE? —MISSED CUPID’S ARROW

PATTY: First thing you should do is cancel work, take to your bed, lie in the fetal position and watch your worn-out DVD of the very realistic movie, Pretty Woman. Kidding! Valentine’s Day is the most pressure-filled holiday for those with a significant other and those without. No one seems to get it right, or, in Human Resource speak, no one ever “exceeds expectations.” So, this Valentine’s Day, get yourself a bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream and, after dinner, toast the end of this holiday and get ready for the best holiday of the year, St. Patrick’s Day. On that holiday, no one is a loser because everyone is Irish, even just for a day!

RASCHELLE: Ah, love … wait what are we talking about? Oh right, that day. Well, yes, it can be rough for some people. But you know what? House of Cards, season two, starts Feb. 14 and honestly, there’s no better way to spend your time. I mean seriously, wouldn’t you rather binge-watch a story about a sociopathic politician and his beautiful, ambitious-yet-co-dependent wife cut a swath of destruction through the nation’s capital? It will cure you of your wayward longing for true love, that’s for sure. Plus, you get to look at that unconventionally handsome Kevin Spacey and commune with the darker side of your personality. There, that’s how you survive this silly day. Oh, and if you want, toss in a heart-shaped box of truffles; sometimes that helps.

Like T&S on FAcebook FoLLow uS on TwiTTer

MY 16-YEAR-OLD SON HAS HIS FIRST SERIOUS GIRLFRIEND, AND HE WANTS TO SPEND NEARLY ALL THE MONEY HE EARNED THIS SUMMER ON A DESIGNER PURSE SHE TOLD HIM SHE WANTED FOR VALENTINE’S DAY. HOW DO I CONVINCE HIM THIS IS A CRAZY IDEA? I DON’T WANT HIM TO BE BROKE AND HEARTBROKEN IF THIS RELATIONSHIP ENDS. —WORRIED MOM

PATTY: There are several ways I want to answer this question. First, I would like to request a one-on-one meeting with your son to explain the importance of saving versus spending. Then I would like to explain that this month’s ‘must have’ handbag is on next month’s sales rack. And finally, I would like to talk about the importance of gifts from the heart instead of gifts that are expensive (though I myself prefer the expensive ones). But, none of that will work. You need to butt out. If it is his money and he wants to spend it on a gift for his girlfriend, he gets to. The last thing you want to be is the mother that becomes the third person in your son’s relationship. In fact, the more you tell your son what a bad idea this is, the better it will look to him.

RASCHELLE: Yikes, I’m at a bit of a loss here (it happens!). I am going to agree with Patty. First, all

relationships end, eventually. Think about it, you break up or someone dies, the end. And part of growing up and learning about relationships is suffering the heartbreak and experiencing the joy that comes from them. You have to butt out, as Patty says. You have to stand on the sidelines and watch him make mistakes, forever. He can’t learn to be resilient or resourceful without practice. On the other hand, I hear ya—if you can’t stay out of his life, then you definitely should pick up the phone and totally humiliate him by calling the girl’s parents and getting them involved (as a mother of girls I wouldn’t want them getting an expensive gift at this stage of life). Plus, you can practice for your future role as meddling mother-in-law. >> PATTY HANNUM DOESN’T HATE VALENTINE’S DAY AS MUCH AS SHE HATES HALLOWEEN, BUT IT’S A CLOSE CALL. >> RASCHELLE BURTON IS HOPING THAT THIS YEAR SHE DOES NOT CRACK A TOOTH ON A PIECE OF BRACH’S CONVERSATION HEART CANDY.

Here Comes theB ride

Gone are the days of simple church weddings.

As anyone knows who’s recently watched a friend or family member tie the knot (or seen a bridezilla TV show), modern weddings are more elaborate, but often less formal, affairs. While celebrating love is the top priority, entertaining guests is a close second. Here’s your T&S manual for managing all those cousins and college roommates on your big day.

GUIDE YOUR GUESTS

Destination weddings can add expense and hassle to an already costly, stressful planning process. Instead of trekking to faraway lands, many couples are turning their hometowns into exciting destinations for out-of-town guests. If you’re sticking around the Lou, make an itinerary highlighting the city’s must-sees, and maybe even arrange an excursion or two. What better way to keep your feuding uncles smiling than a trip to Ted Drewes?

RETHINK THE REHEARSAL DINNER

Once an intimate gathering for the wedding party, the rehearsal dinner has morphed into a pre-event extravaganza. Instead of having a stuffy supper, let guests loosen up at one of St. Louis’ professional sports stadiums. The special events coordinators at Busch Stadium report hosting five to 10 rehearsal dinners a year on non-game days, serving anything from stadium favorites to lobster. For a real crowd-pleaser, reserve a club level section of seats during a game and cheer on the team while enjoying beer and brats.

How to keep guests happy while the bride and groom make the rounds? Let them entertain themselves. Photo booths are popular, and bold couples have been known to offer everything from karaoke machines to mechanical bulls. Live entertainment is another strategy. A band is always fun, as are more unusual performers, like tarot readers and magicians. Adam Putnam, a Washington University grad student and strolling magician, says a prestidigitator is best booked during cocktail receptions or after dinner, when he or she can impress small groups of guests with sleight-of-hand or mind-reading tricks without interrupting a meal.

FORSAKE THE CAKE

In today’s casual world, formal equals fussy. More and more couples are turning down full-service, sit-down dinners in favor of reception food that’s a little more fun. Self-serve buffets are a hit with guests, from mashed potato bars to sundae creation stations.

Cupcakes, pies and ‘candy bars’ often replace wedding cakes. Some couples even choose a visit from a food truck.

ARRANGE AN AFTER-PARTY

If your friends haven’t moved on—ahem, matured—from their college days, the end of your reception might be just the beginning of their evening out. Couples can plan post-party bashes, sometimes in a smaller room at their reception venue, for guests who want to dance long after Grandma is tucked into bed.

If you anticipate being too tired to join them, call your favorite nearby bar and reserve a space for your buddies —and make sure to give them the cab company’s phone number.

HAPPY [HOUR I GET ASKED THIS QUESTION QUITE A BIT:

What makes a great bar or, in this case, What amounts to a wellstocked liquor cabinet at home? My immediate answer is, well, a question: What do you typically drink? And, do you entertain often? Regardless of the answer, the old adage ‘the more the merrier’ is true when it comes to home bars. The key is variety.

>>

Let’s start with the basics. Just like any professional bar, a good home bar must have the Long Island essentials: gin, vodka, tequila (silver), rum (white), and a house whiskey (we will cover later). Thinking along the same lines, no good Long Island would be complete without a triple sec of sorts (Cointreau and Grand Marnier are great), some citrus (lemon, lime, orange) and some basic mixers like cola, diet cola, ginger ale, tonic and club soda. It’s obvious that by thinking along the lines of a ‘Long Island Iced Tea,’ we already have the framework to a well-stocked cabinet.

>> For those who would like their parties

to be seen as the bee’s knees, I suggest taking it up another level from the housepour liquors (read: nothing in plastic need apply). Some homes will venture into the tantalizing world of dark spirits.

The guidelines I recommend for them are as follows: Everyone needs a blended scotch, a single malt scotch, a rye, a bourbon, an aged tequila and an aged rum. These spirits are great for mixing, or can be consumed neat or on the rocks.

>>

Finally we will end with liqueurs. This is solely a matter of what you are planning to do. For the cocktail enthusiast in everyone, go crazy. Buy a liqueur a week and play around with it: study its mixability and flavor profile. My ‘must-have’ liqueur would be any amaro. I love the bitter-sweet components it brings to the party. Now that you have the essentials, go forth, my fellow booze hounds, to stock your bars and entertain justly (just don’t forget the ice … and cups, definitely need cups)!

CORY CUFF IS A GRADUATE OF THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA IN HYDE PARK, N.Y., AND THE RESTAURANT & BAR MANAGER AT CIELO IN THE FOUR SEASONS ST. LOUIS.HAVE A QUESTION? EMAIL US AT WINE@TOWNANDSTYLE.COM OR CONNECT WITH US ON FACEBOOK.

OWNER TERRY WARNER AND STORE MASCOT PEARL

COVER STORY

CRESCENT COAST

by tony di martino

IT’S BEEN A ROUGH WINTER IN ST. LOUIS, but surf’s up at Crescent Coast. The minute you step inside this new shop, you’ll be reaching for your sunscreen.

Opening this weekend in Carondelet Plaza, the store offers coastal-inspired clothing and accessories for the entire family. “I’ve always loved traveling to sunny locations,” says owner Terry Warner. “Places like Palm Beach and Los Angeles always have the best shops, with great clothes, fun accessories and that beachy vibe. There’s nothing like it in St. Louis—until now.”

By ‘beachy,’ Warner doesn’t mean ratty old board shorts and flipflops. “The best way to describe the spirit of the place is ‘sophisticated surf,’” explains the former accountant and custom home builder.

“I wanted to capture the casual ease of coastal living. The clothes are comfortable but polished, with soft fabrics that travel well. They float on your skin—it feels like you’re wearing pajamas!”

Lines carried at the boutique include Sperry, Southern Tide, johnnie-O, Salt Life, Castaway Clothing, Jack Rogers, Escapada and Calypso St. Barth. “Calypso makes amazing, tropical-weight cashmere tees and other items in the most heavenly colors, and silk tunic dresses that move with the body,” Warner explains. The johnnie-O line, popular with pro athletes and Hollywood celebs like Drew Brees and Adrian Grenier, features a golf- and surf-inspired California preppy look. Jack Rogers sandals and shoes are known for their comfort and craftsmanship. Southern Tide, famous for its blissfully comfortable SkipJack polo shirt, is touted for exceptional quality and clean lines.

“These are classic, often seasonless designs with a contemporary twist.”

Along with clothes, shoes and other accessories, the shop features unique gift items and an exclusive line of fragrances and bath products from Positano, Italy. “There’s something for everyone, from middle school through middle age,” Warner says. “The beach lifestyle isn’t limited to any particular time of life. It’s a state of mind.”

The beachy ambiance is echoed by Crescent Coast’s decor. The airy, open space, done in earthy shades of chocolate brown and aquamarine blue, features rustic barnwood and driftwood accents and state-of-the-art lighting sourced by Warner’s husband, Paul Warner of Lighting Associates. Authentic surfboards and paddle boards hang from the walls and lean against counters.

Sun-and-surf videos play on a huge flatscreen TV and two smaller units. Drinks and snacks are available in the bar and kitchen area.

The shop’s grand opening, Feb. 14 and 15, features refreshments, door prizes and complimentary valet parking. “I want everyone to feel welcome here,” Warner says. “We’re all family in St. Louis.

Everyone knows everyone else. Come in, look around, have a glass of wine and a snack.” There’s more to the shop than effortlessly elegant swimsuits, seersucker and sunglasses, she adds. “It’s really about the art of living graciously and well,” she says. “We’re trying to capture the ease, simplicity and freedom of an endless summer—all year ’round.”

THE PRICES |

THE FAVORITES |

Red Bean Andouille Pommes Frites, Famous Red Beans & Rice, Strawberries Jubilee, Louisiana Shrimp Creole

THIS SPOT AT THE CORNER of Euclid and Washington avenues has seen several restaurants come and go, most recently Coco Louco. Evangeline’s is clearly meant to be a warm, inviting place to hang, recreating a laid-back, Big Easy kind of vibe. The bar is lively and specializes in retro New Orleans mixers like Brandy Milk Punch, Hurricane and Mint Juleps.

The food is home-style Creole, rotating many of the same ingredients into most of the dishes. You’ll find plenty of: Creole red sauce, parmesan-mozzarella toppings, Andouille sausage and crawfish, with a buttery white sauce thrown in here and there for good measure.

A nice opening touch was when bruschetta came to the table, gratis, as an amuse bouche—you can’t knock that start to a meal. The two toppings were muffaletta olive and marinated feta. The olive was the traditional bayou ‘olive salad’ of green olives, pimiento, cocktail onions, vinegar, parsley, oil and capers—very pickled and astringent to the taste. It was meaty and good. The feta was more on the creamy side, with grated parmesan on top.

The most popular starter, judging from how often it came out of the kitchen, is Tabasco Butter Shrimp ($8).

The bowlful of tender, sweet shrimp was served in a soupy casserole of pretty red sauce with plenty of butter and a little bite. The shrimp were done just right and flavors were good, but that much sauce did the dish a disservice; it’s simply poor presentation and unappetizing.

Another starter, Broiled Crab Parmesan ($10), was tasty, a casserole of shredded crab covered with a hefty dose of cheese. Here again, less cheese would have been better. But they got it just right with the happy hour fries, Red Bean Andouille Pommes Frites, especially for $5. The thin-cut potatoes had a judicious dose of Creole sauce and red beans, a few slices of well-softened Andouille and a little melted cheese. All-around my favorite starter.

My favorite bigger dish, Famous Beans & Rice (half $7, full $14) was a dense and flavorful concoction of house-made Andouille sausage, chunks of steak and very tasty red beans dotting the mound of rice under it all. It was a classic one-pot dish, everything thrown

together, with plenty of Louisiana flavor from celery, onions, tomato and spices like paprika, oregano and pepper (red and black).

Louisiana Shrimp Creole ($14) embodied the charm of this kind of cuisine with its profusion of rice covered with first a Creole tomato sauce and tail-on Gulf shrimp, then a blanket of melted mozzarella and parmesan cheese. The seasoning was good, with a hint of red pepper, and the rice absorbed it well. The shrimp were tender and sweet, and the cheese a nice addition to enrich the acidic tomato-ness of it all.

A similar dessert, on two different nights, yielded two very different experiences. Strawberries Jubilee ($9) came as berries appealingly sitting in sticky, rumlaced caramel sauce with two scoops of vanilla oozing into the hot caramel. Bananas Foster ($8), supposedly with that same sauce, came out swimming in liquid; the sauce never coagulated.

Evangeline’s has its imperfections, but also its appeal.

It’s got the warmth of a neighborhood eatery, with prices and portions to match.

SLUCare’s expert team for heart valve patients

COVER STORY

SLUCARE]

hardworking flaps of tissue open and close to push life-sustaining blood in the right direction and keep it from flowing backward. “Most of us never give it a second thought—until something goes wrong,” says cardiac surgeon Dr. Richard Lee of SLUCare, the physicians of Saint Louis University. And when something goes wrong, heart patients now have a new option: SLUCare’s Heart Valve Clinic, the latest addition to the Center for Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care.

Heart valve disease affects approximately 5 million Americans annually. Whether it’s a congenital condition or stems from infections, heart disease or age-related changes, valve disease can cause a long list of problems, some of them life-threatening. “Basically, two things can go wrong,” says Lee, who co-directs the Center with interventional cardiologist Dr. Michael Lim. “Sometimes, valves are too tight and can’t open all the way, so your heart and other organs don’t get enough blood. But more commonly, valves fail to close completely, causing blood to leak backward into the lungs.” Excessively tight valves may need to be replaced; leaky valves usually can be repaired.

Symptoms of valve disease can range from dizziness, shortness of breath and fatigue to fluid retention, chest pain and cardiac arrhythmia, Lee explains. But symptoms can be hard to detect, misdiagnosed, mistakenly attributed to lung issues, or completely overlooked, he adds. “And, as medicine gets increasingly complex, knowledge is advancing more rapidly than most physicians can keep up with.”

For example, Lee notes, many doctors don’t know there is a strong association between valve disease and atrial fibrillation, a potentially fatal arrhythmia affecting more than 6 million people in the U.S. “Afib should be treated during surgery for valve disease,” he says. “But doctors who lack experience treating afib often don’t

check for it before surgery, so it goes untreated, or incompletely treated—resulting in a lower chance of survival and a higher risk of stroke for the patient.”

Similarly, patients with congenital irregularities in their aortic valve need to be monitored closely and screened for related issues, and they often need surgery up to 10 years earlier than individuals with acquired valve disease. “At the Heart Valve Clinic, we screen their family members as well, because this can be a hereditary issue,” Lee says. “Caught in time, we can fix problems before permanent damage occurs, using the latest minimally invasive procedures, when appropriate.”

That’s why it’s important to have a clinic devoted solely to heart valve issues. “By integrating cardiology and cardiac surgery, we break down the barriers that keep people from getting DRS. MICHAEL LIM AND RICHARD LEE. the very best diagnosis, treatment and management of their disease,” Lee says. “We don’t send them to three different offices to get three conflicting opinions. Our expert team sits down with each patient and explains their options. Then we collaborate with each other and with the patient, making sure they get the information they need to be an active partner in their own care.”

ST. LOUIS HEART AND VASCULAR

SLUCARE

Heart failure is a disease in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate essential for the requirements of the body during ordinary activity. The heart may be unable to pump efficiently because of blockages in the blood flow, problems with the valves in the heart or an inherited disorder. Heart failure also can be caused by the inability of the heart to relax normally and fill with blood, or by abnormalities in the electrical activity in the heart. Risk factors include: obesity, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, infections caused by various viruses, or vitamin deficiencies.

Heart failure most often presents with shortness of breath on exertion or even at rest, fatigue, and swelling in the legs. Early detection is the key in starting treatment and fixing all the conditions that led to the development of heart failure. The sooner heart failure is detected and treatment is started, the better the outcome. Keeping your weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol under control will go a long way in preventing the problem, too.

DESPITE ENTHUSIASM OVER THE POTENTIAL USE OF STEM CELLS to repair heart muscle, DR. GREGORY EWALD, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, says we may still be years away from having a reliable stem cell treatment that could be administered to most patients.

According to Ewald, researchers are working in a number of areas to determine how to best use stem cells in patients with damage caused by heart attacks or heart failure. “First, they’re trying to figure out which are the right stem cells best capable of doing the work,” he says.

“Second, they need to figure out how to deliver the stem cells where they need to go and keep them there so they can repair muscle tissue. Third, they need to determine

Despite the ominous tone of the name ‘heart failure,’ people should be cautiously optimistic about this disease in this day and age. It’s a chronic condition that can be managed very successfully with a combination of medication and different devices. In fact, in some cases—especially in new presentations—patients can normalize with treatment. While there is currently no cure for heart failure, there are some exciting research advancements, including gene therapy and stem cell therapy.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, for example, had his first heart attack at age 37. Over the years he has had multiple others, bypass procedures, stents and, most recently, a heart transplant. Still, at 73 years old, he’s alive and kicking. Cheney is just one example of the many people who are living longer and healthier lives with heart failure. It’s why I get up and go to work in the morning.

Some people will continue to have symptoms, though, despite optimal medical therapy. For them, there are still options, including left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), heart transplant and experimental approaches. Patients with late-stage heart failure may also choose to transition to palliative care to better manage their symptoms.

if the cells improve heart function measurably and make people feel better. So we’re still really in a learning phase.”

Ewald and Dr. John Lasala, associate professor of medicine at Washington University, are currently participating in a multi-site clinical trial to determine whether there’s a way to trigger the body to send stem cells to the damaged site in the heart. “We’re injecting a small DNA plasmid that contains a signaling molecule into areas of the heart that have been damaged by heart attacks in patients with heart failure,” Ewald explains.

“That signaling material sends out a homing signal for stem cells. We think it will cause stem cells to come to the site of injury without actually having to harvest, prepare and inject the stem cells, which is pretty tedious work.”

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease and stroke remain two of the top killers of Americans. But local experts say there is cause for optimism. With advances in research and treatments, patients are living longer and ejoying a better quality of life.

“ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IS A HEART ARRHYTHMIA in which the heart beats rapidly and irregularly,” says DR. KARTHIK RAMASWAMY, DIRECTOR OF THE ARRHYTHMIA CENTER AT MISSOURI BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER. “It’s caused by short-circuiting in the electrical system of the upper chambers of the heart.”

Symptoms include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, chest discomfort, light headedness or feeling faint, Ramaswamy says. Some patients, though, are asymptomatic and only diagnosed with an EKG. The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases as we get older; as many as 15 percent of individuals over the age of 85 have the condition. But it also can occur in otherwise healthy younger adults, Ramaswamy notes. “By itself, atrial

fibrillation is not life-threatening, but it can lead to serious complications like blood clots, stroke and heart failure.

Fortunately, there have been important advancements to treat atrial fibrillation and prevent stroke.”

Treatment for atrial fibrillation generally includes medications to control the heart rate and help get the heart back into rhythm. Other options include a cardioversion, which delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore rhythm, and catheter ablation, in which a catheter is inserted through a vein in the leg to the heart to find and destroy the problem areas. “Most important, we try to prevent strokes,” Ramaswamy says. “There are very effective medications, including blood thinners and anticoagulants.”

HEART DISEASE IN MEN & WOMEN DR. KEITH MANKOWITZ ST. LUKE’S HOSPITAL

High blood pressure or hypertension is the leading cause of stroke and a major cause of heart attacks. Recent research suggests that women are more at risk to die from hypertension-related cardiovascular disease than men. The perception by both patients and physicians that women are at substantially lower risk than men could explain the poorer outcome in women.

Hypertension is often called ‘the silent killer’ because it rarely causes symptoms, even as it inflicts serious damage to the body. Many people with high blood pressure don’t realize they have the condition. All women should have their blood pressure checked regularly.

For hypertensive patients, achieving lower blood pressure goals can markedly reduce the chance of having a stroke or heart attack and can prolong life. However, approximately twothirds of treated hypertensive women are unable to control their blood pressure.

High blood pressure is more likely in people who have a family history of high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes, are African-American, over age 55, overweight, not physically active, drink excessively, smoke, eat foods high in saturated fats or salt, use certain medications such as NSAIDs (ibuprofen, decongestants, etc.) and use illicit drugs such as cocaine. After age 65, black women have the highest incidence of high blood pressure.

DR. ANTHONY SONN,

MERCY ST. LOUIS

There’s been a lot of focus on how heart disease affects men and women differently. In reality, though, there are many more similarities. Heart disease and stroke are among the top killers of both. Coronary artery disease is probably the most common cardiovascular disease for both.

People experience many different symptoms emblematic of a heart attack that don’t necessarily differ because of gender. In general, some of the more common symptoms of a heart attack can be chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath, heartburn, nausea, light headedness, dizziness and palpitations. In the past, the misconception that women were less likely to have a heart attack led to poorer outcomes for women. Fortunately, greater awareness among physicians and the general public has helped improve outcomes for women.

One difference that does exist is the female hormones—estrogen in particular—that appear to provide some protective benefit in pre-menopausal women. A woman’s risk for heart disease increases after menopause when estrogen levels drop. However, there is no proof that hormone replacement therapy can offset the risk for heart disease and, in women with certain risk factors, it can actually have the opposite effect.

STATINS DR. M. KIRAN KANCHERLA

SSM ST. MARY’S MEDICAL CENTER

In November, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association released new guidelines on the treatment of cholesterol in patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease. According to the guidelines, most Americans should first try to control their cholesterol through diet and exercise, except for four groups: people with very high LDL or ‘bad cholesterol’ over 190; patients who have been diagnosed with heart disease; patients between the age of 40 to 75 with Type 2 diabetes; and those over 40 who have a greater than 7.5 percent chance per year, over 10 years, of having a heart attack (doctors have a formula to calculate this risk). People who fall into these categories should start a statin immediately and also make healthy lifestyle changes.

For those with heart disease, statins can lower the chance of another event by 30 percent. And the newer statins are more aggressive, meaning patients can take just one pill per day. However, potential side effects include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, liver problems, diabetes and muscle aches.

DR. MICHAEL TWYMAN

DES PERES HOSPITAL

Statins are not a cure for poor lifestyle. I recommend that most patients try for at least six months to lower their cholesterol through exercise and diet alone. This includes adding 40 minutes of moderate exercise daily, incorporating more vegetables and fruits, and reducing processed foods. If you’re not already exercising, start slow and work your way up to a longer, more intense workout. As a general rule, it should be slightly hard for you to hold a conversation while exercising.

People who have had a cardiovascular event in the past benefit the most from statin therapy.

For patients who have had a heart attack, stroke, cardiac stent or bypass surgery, a statin will help reduce the risk of having another event. In addition to lowering cholesterol levels, statins have been found to lower inflammation levels, a key driver of cardiovascular disease and many other chronic diseases. And with generic options now available, statins are more affordable than in the past.

T&S HOME 38 KINGSBURY PLACE ] by stephanie zeilenga listing price | $1,295,000 listing agent | helen costello and ellen martin of laura mccarthy

PHOTOS BY STEVEN B. SMITH PHOTOGRAPHY

FOR SOME TIME, Weller and Mary Myer had wanted to return to the Central West End, where Mary grew up. Seeing the historic home and renovated carriage house at 38 Kingsbury Place sealed the deal four years ago.

Built by the father of Sara Teasdale, winner of the first Pulitzer Prize in poetry in 1918, the home was the perfect blend of historical details, modern amenities, private grounds and an attractive neighborhood. “It was built in 1908, but has all the upgrades, including electric and plumbing,” Weller Myer says. “It’s like a newer house, but with materials people don’t build with anymore. It has marble and limestone fireplace mantels, and the woodwork, including the original mahogany paneling in the living room, is outstanding.”

The 5,747-square-foot, English-style home, which features seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, had a major face-lift before the Myers moved in. Four bedrooms were redone, the main and carriage houses got new slate roofs, and the bathrooms were outfitted in granite and marble.

The third-floor family room provided the perfect space for family time with 4-year-old Elizabeth and 2-year-old Weller. “It has

windows on the north, south and east, and has custom bookshelves.

It’s perfect for playing games and watching movies,” Myer says.

The two-and-a-half-story carriage house, rumored to be the last one in the area used for horses, has been transformed to a unique spot for accommodating overnight guests, says Myer. Retaining many of its original features, the building includes a working fireplace, a full kitchen, a bath-and-a-half, and a large bedroom. “I’m not originally from St. Louis, so when my parents would come in town, it was a great place to house them,” Myer says.

The space also is ideal for stress-free entertaining, and the Myers outfitted it with a pool table and shuffle board. “We use it like a party house,” Myer says. “We entertained multiple New Year’s Eves, and friends were able to spend the night with their children. One of the benefits of the carriage house is it keeps where you live private, and you’re not worried about the mess.”

Although the Myers are excited about some upcoming changes, they are sad to leave this historic gem in the Central West End. “We absolutely loved it,” Myer says. “You unfortunately just don’t find homes using these great materials, like stone and brick and marble, anymore.”

IN THE MOOD FOR SPRING [ five ways to treat spring fever ]

PHOTO: MARK FONVILLE

If you’re anything like me, you’re itching to get your hands back in the dirt by now. You’ve had a rest and enjoyed the holidays, but it’s time to get outside already! Even though we really can’t rush spring, I’ve discovered a few ways to shake off winter’s chill.

1. SOW SEEDS INDOORS

You can get your hands dirty without venturing out into the cold by starting plants from seeds indoors. This activity also will give you a jump start on the growing season. When it’s time to do your spring planting, your seedlings will be ready to go.

2. FORCE FLOWERING SHRUBS INTO BLOOM

Early flowering shrubs such as quince, spirea and forsythia can be forced into bloom indoors. The delicate branches covered in blooms instantly add a distinct sophistication to a room.

3. GO TO FLOWER SHOWS PHOTO: HORUS LTD.

PHOTO: KELLY QUINN

Plan a ‘daycation’ and go to a flower show. There is nothing like a room filled with blooms and the scent of hardwood mulch to transport a person to a warmer season for the day.

We have some pretty impressive flower shows in the U.S., including the Philadelphia Flower Show, Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Washington state and the Chicago Flower and Garden Show. And, of course, there’s the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Orchid Show, through March 23.

4. PLANT FROST-TOLERANT VEGGIES

Impatient and resourceful gardeners have long concerned themselves with extending the growing season to increase their harvest. One of my favorite ways to start plants is to use a cloche, a clear bell-shaped glass cover. It looks equal parts terrarium and decorative cake cover and helps nascent plants by keeping them warmer. Frost-tolerant plants such as English peas, lettuce, broccoli and cabbage are all excellent choices for early planting outdoors.

5. LOOK FOR SEASONAL PRODUCE

can be an unexpected ally in beating the winter blues. Spruce up your home with potted plants you pick up during your weekly grocery run.

Best bets right now include delicate orchids, forced daffodils, tulips and hyacinths, cape primroses, and bright cyclamen.

To beat the winter blues, amp up your green at the grocery store with seasonal produce. Leafy greens like arugula, spinach and kale thrive in early spring. Pick up a few Brussels sprouts, leeks and heads of cabbage. And thanks to Valentine’s Day, I think we can throw chocolate into the mix as a seasonal food.

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

We moved to St. Louis a year ago and have done extensive remodeling on the inside.

How can I bring this ‘charming’ old home that’s been added onto a few times into the 21st century? I envision a Craftsman-style home with new siding and a porte cochere to the garage area.

———TIME TO REASSESS

DEAR TIME TO REASSESS,

AFTER

BEFORE

Over time, some homes receive so many remodels and additions that the original essence of the house can be overwhelmed. In this case, your home has so many different roof forms (with differing angles) that the eye doesn’t know where to land. Some subtractions are in order.

By removing the front porch, the cupola and the shallow gable to the right, a simpler, cottage-like character starts to emerge. I think with some minor adjustments, we can give the structure the feel of a charmingly converted carriage house.

I would begin with a simpler roof at the front door. Support that with a bracket instead of columns. I would add long shutters to either side of the door to restate the blue accent color, and add a coach lamp to balance the bracket. Next, I would add two simple dormer windows to break up the largest roof surface and give it a more historic feel. To complete the carriage house feel, I would extend the stone wall forward, adding some light piers to frame the access to the garages.

To my eyes, the house now looks like it’s not trying so hard. It now has an elegant feel where the parts work together rather than against each other.

Hope that helps.
