I write to you amidst diaper changes, feedings, sleepless nights, school schedules and kid activities. But it still feels good to be back at my post. Major kudos to my hardworking team here at Town&Style who kept things running smoothly while I was gone. This publication is truly a group effort.

When everyone asks how things are going since the arrival of kiddo No. 3, I honestly can say surprisingly well. My two oldest absolutely adore their new baby sister, and she was happily along for the ride for all of our holiday events: Garden Glow, Winterfest at the Arch, Winter Wonderland at Tilles Park, a riverboat cruise with Santa, family parties and more. We even hosted our annual holiday party when she was five weeks old.

Why stop living? Our houseful of guests oohed and aahed, and that night, she slept the best she ever had.

Let’s not pretend that it’s been completely amazing every step of the way. We had a baby days before Halloween, and I hit every major holiday and two kids’ birthdays as a mom of a newborn.

Even though it’s a festive time of year, it all can be overwhelming.

There were quite a few times I said, “Fa la la la la …” with an edge.

So I’m looking at this year as a fresh start more than usual. I don’t have specific resolutions, but instead, I have a goal of getting back to a routine with sleep, working out, eating healthy, date nights—you name it.

I paid careful attention to our health article, Spring Resolutions, which offers tips for a refresh for your face and body. It features noninvasive treatments that will get you excited to bare your skin in a few months instead of dreading it. Our fashion spread features cute workout clothes that can make a difference in your desire to hop on the treadmill (or Peloton or yoga mat), and we even offer tips on revamping your beauty routine on pg. 29.

It feels good to catch my breath, get organized and prepare myself for the year ahead. Because there will be even more diaper changes, feedings, sleepless nights, etc. But I’m ready.

Bring on 2019.

innovations the American Heart Association (AHA) has helped fund in its mission to end heart disease. It’s the country’s leading cause of death, and thousands more nonfatal cardiac events occur each year. Through groundbreaking medical research and community education on heart attacks and strokes, the AHA is dedicated to changing these numbers. Now, the nonprofit is working with researchers to use analytics and data science to change the face of cardiovascular medicine.

“For nearly a century, the AHA has saved and improved lives,” says Jennifer L. Hall, Ph.D. “From changing the way heart disease and strokes are cared for in hospitals to making breakthrough discoveries, these advances help more families share more time together.” Hall is chief of the American Heart Association Institute for Precision Cardiovascular Medicine. Precision medicine offers tailored approaches to disease prevention and treatment by taking into account an individual’s genetics, environment and lifestyle, and Hall is excited about how it will change doctors’ and researchers’ approach to cardiac health. “We’re on the path to preventing heart disease and strokes and establishing better-targeted, safer and more effective treatments, all by leveraging state-of-theart analytics and data science,” she explains.

The Institute for Precision Cardiovascular Medicine is the only entity focused exclusively on advancing precision medicine in cardiovascular care, and it’s paving the way toward better treatments and preventative strategies to help people live longer, healthier lives, according to Hall.

It provides research grants for data scientists, clinicians, computer engineers and other experts.

“The grantees funded by the institute have made tremendous progress in the areas of imaging and data analytics in cardiovascular medicine,” she says. “Along with our strategic partner Amazon Web Services, we have established the Precision Medicine Platform, which enables researchers to discover and analyze data using the power of cloud computing.” The AHA expects that the convergence of science, technology and information access will lead to more health-care changes in the next 15 years than were made in the previous 50.

The AHA is currently investing nearly $5 million in 32 studies at St. Louis-area research institutions. The nonprofit is able to support important medical research and technological innovation because of fundraising efforts such as the St. Louis Heart Ball, one of its most vital local events. “We are grateful to St. Louis for supporting the Heart Ball and the AHA,” Hall says. “As scientists, we value every research dollar. Every day, our goal is to find solutions for better treatments.” This year’s gala is Feb. 23 at The Chase Park Plaza. The event chair is Ron Kruszewski of Stifel, presenting sponsors are Express Scripts and Stifel, and World Wide Technology is legacy sponsor.

“It’s been an honor and pleasure to chair this year’s Heart Ball,” Kruszewski says. “In this past year, I’ve learned so much about this great organization and the future of technology as it relates to medical advancements and patient outcomes. I am committed to helping meet the fundraising goal of $1.5 million to further this worthy cause.” &

TALK OF THE TOWNS by bill beggs jr.

DOWNTOWN 〉〉

A company in Oklahoma has bought City Museum.

Nobody panic. They’re not going to pick it up lock, stock and barrel and move it to a small town like Muskogee.

But it was bought by Premier Parks, a company that owns and operates theme parks. Well, what’s the theme of City Museum? And could anyone tell us for sure what the funky place is, anyhow? Founder Bob Cassilly might have been able to—until his untimely death in 2011, when reportedly the bulldozer he was operating rolled over on him at a property he was hoping to develop into something called Cementland. Would you have called that a theme park? No. Like City Museum, if ever completed, it eventually may become the most glorious whatchamacallit you ever experienced in your life. Meanwhile, what about our beloved City Museum, one of the attractions that make the StL one of a kind?

The attitude of the buyers is that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Rather, Premier Parks hopes that some of the attraction’s uniqueness is contagious. It owns and operates entertainment venues (well, most of us call ’em amusement parks) in the United States and Canada.

The company’s top fun-lover used to be CEO of Six Flags Entertainment Corp. He could envision creating similar attractions in other markets … I mean, who wouldn’t? Plans are to market City Museum outside the area. (Nary a peep about admission prices.) While we wait for that other shoe to drop, here’s a retro marketing idea. Repaint all those barns with roofs that say, ‘See Rock City’! Alas, most of those have deteriorated into a few rotten boards and some crumpled, rusty metal.

Better idea? Paint newer barns.

on nonalcoholic, cannabisinfused beverages.

Wow—when can we get it at Walgreen’s? (Pipe down, pothead; it’ll be a while. You’re 30 and have been doing nothing but sleeping, toking and playing video games in mom’s basement for half your life. Did you hear that? Oh … headphones.

Read on!) Notably, the alliance is confined to Canada, where marijuana is legal for recreational use.

Through the partnership, AB InBev is likely to bolster its position in the marijuana industry, while the cannabis maker will cherish the legendary brewer’s unparalleled experience. The involvement of the company behind Budweiser in recreational cannabis brings new legitimacy to an industry previously the domain of drug cartels, and $100 million is hella cash. Back in the day, parents and other authorities warned juveniles that marijuana was a gateway drug to nastier, horribly addictive stuff. Well, that will hold true if we get something that tastes like an energy drink but has THC, pot’s active ingredient, in it. It could be the gateway beverage to beer and pork rinds, and beer is the gateway to vodka. Had to bring the real enemy, the Russians, in here somehow.

U. CITY 〉〉

THE METRO 〉〉

Drug cartels in the Great White North? Horrors!

Maybe we’ll need to build a wall on the northern border to keep out marijuana-infused beverages. Talk about drugs flowing into the country! OK, we’re being intentionally alarmist since national emergencies seem to be all the rage these days. Anyhow, seems that InBev, parent company of Anheuser-Busch, entered into a research partnership with a medicinal cannabis manufacturer late last year. This $100 million deal with Tilray Inc. includes an equal investment by both companies, enabling them to conduct joint research

Last issue, you read about the chance to freeze your rears off at the Frozen Buns Run, the 5k and 10k races that begin in The Delmar Loop this Saturday (Jan. 19).

Or maybe you didn’t. Maybe it’ll be too dang warm to freeze anything. We’re not into weather forecasting at T&S; our intermittent publishing schedule would render us about as helpful as Farmers’ Almanac. But there’s another way to cool off your tuchus this weekend, even if it’s hotter than July: Ice slides will be among the ice sculptures placed throughout The Loop. That’ll be pretty cool. The annual Ice Carnival begins Friday at 5 p.m. with the Snow Ball at the Moonrise Hotel on the stretch of Delmar near The Pageant. Snowball fights will not be the order of the evening, but special drinks, some wacky, may be purchased, and you can expect costumes on the order of Disney’s Frozen until 2:30 a.m. Saturday. A $5 donation or a canned good to benefit Operation Food Search gets you in. You can enjoy icy fun and frolic, and some not so icy, through Sunday at 5 p.m. Enjoy everything from a zipline to skateboarding and ice carving demonstrations. But don’t stay so late at the Snow Ball that can’t get your buns out of bed in time to freeze ’em off at the run.

It starts at 10 a.m., the same time the Carnival will be slippin’ and slidin’ throughout The Loop.

RICHMOND HEIGHTS 〉〉

‘Johnny B. Goode’ is the name of perhaps Chuck Berry’s most famous song, which was released in 1958 and since has been covered by countless garage bands and recorded by the likes of blues giant Johnny Winter. The song was initially inspired by Johnnie Clyde Johnson, Berry’s longtime piano player. And Johnnie Be Good! is the name of a documentary about Johnson being produced by KSDK-TV journalist Art Holliday, for which a Feb. 2 trivia night fundraiser is scheduled at The Heights community center in Richmond Heights.

There’s no statue of Johnson in the metro. That’s too bad, because if there hadn’t been a Johnson, there might not have been a Berry. In 1952, Johnson hired Berry, 26 at the time, to play guitar in his band. Not too long before his death at 81 in 2005, Johnson had played around town, including the Webster Groves Jazz and Blues Festival. He’s a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But his influence on American culture went beyond an uncanny gift for tickling the ivories. He was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for breaking racial barriers in the military: Johnson was a member of the Montford Point Marines. The African-American unit endured racism and inspired social change while integrating the all-white Marine Corps during World War II. No wonder there’s such a famous song named after the man. The recording is even aboard Voyager, a spacecraft launched in 1977, just in case future civilizations discover it millions of years from now, untold light years away from the planet we call home.

Most of the bronzes Harry Weber sculpts ‘give 110 percent,’ much like the heroes they represent, from Dred Scott and Chuck Berry to Ozzie Smith, Stan Musial, Bob Gibson and James ‘Cool Papa’ Bell. “If you make them bigger than life, everybody’s happy,” says Weber, perched on a ladder and shaping clay on a standing figure, one of four men nobody from St. Louis has ever heard of. They’re humorists (110 percent or so life-size, a couple of them sitting around a table) who hailed from Nacogdoches Texas. Weber was preparing the works for casting into bronze in his clayspattered studio at Bronze Fox Farm in Wright City. If you don’t know Weber’s work, you must be a Mets fan, pond scum that’s never seen his work outside Busch Stadium, in U. City, at the Old Courthouse or on the St. Charles riverfront, where his two-times life-sized Lewis & Clark grouping stands. It’s of one explorer standing in the boat, the other bent over, holding

a dog that looks as though it could jump into the water at any moment. “I like things that move,” Weber says. Some of his favorite moves are outside Busch, two-thirds life-size: Ozzie lunging to snag a bouncer, Musial connecting for one of his 3,630 hits, Gibson releasing a pitch that would get most people arrested for speeding. He had to use his imagination for Bell, of whom most photos were posed; by Dizzy’s time, high-speed photography had entered the picture. Weber had nine images of Dean’s pitching to work from. A few more things have changed in the thousands of years bronzes have been created, one of the game-changers being stainless steel.

Weber couldn’t have captured hockey legend Bobby Orr in mid-air outside Boston Garden if he were working in the third century BC. Since stainless is part of the armature, “Orr has 1,100 pounds of bronze on his right toe. [Sculptor Auguste] Rodin’s stuff would have moved more if he’d had stainless steel,” Weber says. Instead, Rodin’s most famous piece, The Thinker, just sits there, thinking. Chuck Berry, as sculpted

by Weber, is captured in his famous duck walk. (To answer your nagging question: Weber, born in 1942, graduated from Country Day after a stint at U. City High.) &

THE INSIDER A GLIMPSE AT WHAT’S GOING ON AROUND ST. LOUIS AND BEYOND. &

PATTY by patty hannum I AM ODD. I’ve known this for a long time, but I

usually try to hide it from others. Over the years, people have told me about motivational speakers they’ve heard, books that inspire them or TED Talks they think I should listen to. When that happens, I nod knowingly and move away quickly so I don’t have to engage in further conversation. I am unmotivated by people whose job it is to motivate.

As I write this, my desk features a pad of paper that says, ‘People I want to punch in the face,’ and my favorite pen is inscribed with the uplifting sentiment, ‘That idea is garbage.’ I have no idea why I am like this, but I am.

When I first started working, I was one of those annoying people who called to get you to take a survey.

As you can imagine, most people hung up on me. Some were good sports and answered my questions; others said some pretty vile and demoralizing things. The place where I worked held little contests with rewards for the most completed surveys, but I always thought the winner should be the person who had the worst thing said to them on the phone.

From there, I moved into the world of retail, and every other week there was a sales contest. I was good at winning them. I love talking to strangers, and if someone walks into a store, they really do want to buy something—they just may not know it yet. With a little encouragement, people would buy what I suggested, and there you had it, another win for Patty. (This time, I thought the real prize should go to the sales associate who dealt with all of the girls trying to return prom dresses with stains on them.)

Once I moved into the corporate world, I got frightened anytime there was talk of offsite teambuilding exercises. I did not trust anyone enough to blindly fall into their arms, especially if it was someone I had spent weeks arguing with about a work issue.

I always pictured them suddenly getting a muscle cramp just as I fell, and BAM, I would crack my head open (an expression my mom used often). Everyone would pretend it was an accident, but I would know the truth.

Sure, I enjoy hearing people’s success stories. I love them so much that I write about them on a regular basis. I forever click on Facebook posts about people who do amazing things like jumping into a river to save a dog. And programs like The Today Show do a good job of featuring everyday people who do awesome things.

But when it comes to motivational speakers? Yuck.

I don’t want to be ‘lifted up’ by Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra or anyone else.

So, I wonder, is there a market for people like me who could talk to audiences about de-motivation? I would tell them the truth—that most of what you get in life is because of hard work and luck. I could tell a few stories and get a few laughs. I’d charge less than motivational speakers and would promise not to hawk any books or five-step programs for personal success.

Would it work? We’ll never know for sure because I’m not motivated enough to do anything about it.

Childhood should be spent focusing on playtime, learning and fun. But for many children, these experiences are interrupted by hospital stays, medical appointments, treatments and surgeries. St. Louis Children’s Hospital is devoted to ensuring young patients receive state-of-the-art, compassionate care so they can return to the simple joys of being a kid.

As a teaching hospital for Washington University School of Medicine, Children’s has access to many of the most innovative minds and technologies in pediatric medicine and research. It brings together dedicated teams of physicians, nurses and other health professionals who create customized care for each child’s needs. Their lifesaving work is supported by the St. Louis Children’s Hospital Foundation, which provides funding for more than 40 different programs in clinical care, community outreach, pediatric research and education.

Donors make up an integral part of these efforts. Their generosity and attendance at fundraising events helps the medical center grow and innovate as a model for care in the region. The foundation’s chief development officer Malcolm Berry says the hospital strives to make the most of every gift it receives. “From poverty to violence, to preventable illness and injury, to chronic and serious, life-threatening diseases – our community’s most precious and vulnerable resources need us,” he notes. “And thanks to philanthropy, our supporters have the opportunity to transform child health through exceptional patient care, community outreach, research and education.”

planned parenthood

of the st. louis region and southwest missouri Planned Parenthood has been serving the St. Louis community since 1932. Political headwinds have made our work more challenging, but the need for sexual and reproductive health care never goes away. Times are tough, but through the dedication and passion of the St. Louis community, we are able to continue to serve those who need us.

Patients can trust Planned Parenthood because we can trust our supporters to donate, no matter what. You also can help spread our mission through volunteer efforts, which include phone banking, data entry, writing a letter to the editors of local and national publications, and joining our outreach team. Our patients are supporters, too. Support Planned Parenthood by becoming a patient today. Make an appointment online at plannedparenthood.org/book.

Revamp r u o Y Routine

New Year’s resolutions don’t have to be overwhelming, arduous

promises we make to ourselves but ultimately break. Sometimes, small tweaks can make a world of difference in your daily life and overall happiness. Take your beauty routine, for example. Even a few simple changes can mean better skin and time saved getting ready.

Here are a few changes that you won’t abandon before Groundhog Day.

Oh, Sheet Korean sheet masks have taken over my Instagram stories. It seems as if everyone is getting into this nightly ritual. Whether you opt for a playful cartoon animal-inspired design or go for something a little more grown-up, sheet masks are a great way to add extra hydration to your skin during the cold-weather months without interrupting your overall beauty routine.

Brush or Bust Take a good, hard look at your makeup brushes. Ask yourself when you last cleaned them. If you can’t remember, it’s time to give them a good wash. All you need is a small amount of dish soap and warm water. Wash them by hand and make sure to squeeze the makeup out as you rinse. It’s shocking how much powder can build up over time.

Even worse, bacteria can build up in the brushes and irritate skin.

Wash your brushes monthly to avoid unnecessary blemishes.

Two-Timer Thoroughly washing skin doesn’t mean spending more time at the sink lathering your face into oblivion. Try doubling up during your nightly face wash and dab a cotton ball with micellar water on your face before you wash. It contains oil molecules that lift dirt, oil and makeup while purifying skin. After you have applied your go-to cleanser, your skin will look refreshed and rejuvenated.

Dump Your Junk This might seem like a no-brainer, but checking the dates of everything in your beauty and medicine cabinets is important. I can’t tell you how many barely used products I’ve thrown away over the years because I forgot I owned them and their expiration dates passed.

Not only will it help de-clutter your space, but cleaning up also can keep questionable chemicals off your face and body.

has received a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, one of only seven in Missouri. The remarkable archive chronicles St. Louis’ connection to the devastating events of World War II, with artifacts and testimonials from hometown soldiers and Jewish survivors who came here.

During a tour led by Lory Cooper, manager of programs & logistics, I realized that learning about the Holocaust is as much about the future as the past. Actually, more so.

Boomers, and even their children, have heard about it all their lives. But what about the generations coming up? To them it’s ancient history, so removed from their lives that it can be shrugged off. But not so easily for those who visit the center, especially if they get a personal tour from Cooper.

Her grandparents, Simon and Bobbie Kohn, were survivors who built a business and family here. She adds an element of reality and immediacy to all those black and white photos.

One photo is of her grandmother’s brother at his bar mitzvah, an event he outlived by only years; another is of the late Dr. Gustav Schonfeld in a Czech Hebrew class, sitting among 34 boys and their rabbi. Schonfeld alone survived.

Cooper tells visitors that Schonfeld helped develop the cholesterol drug Lipitor—and how many lives has that saved over the years, she asks? She also points to a photo of her grandparents with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Seeing that photo makes visitors connect the dots. Surely they realize that hate and bigotry robbed many pictured on these walls of their legacies, of their never-to-be-born families.

Cooper points out that bigotry of any kind is the first step on a slippery slope. As is silence in the face of bigotry.

She tells of one educator from a nearby community who brought a group after discovering that two students had embraced racist views. The tour made a difference.

We can be proud that our community supports this institution. Nothing illuminates the trajectory of racism like seeing the museum’s display of prisoner patches in colors that mark Jews, homosexuals, antisocial personalities, German and Jewish political prisoners, criminals, race violators, gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses and immigrants.

If all that doesn’t serve as a cautionary tale, this prominently displayed quote by a German pastor does: “First they came for the Communists, but I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, but I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, but I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, but there was no one left to speak for me.”

DAVID BURKE OF GRAND TAVERN BY DAVID BURKE

by stephanie wallace IF THE NAME DAVID BURKE RINGS A BELL, it shouldn’t come as a

surprise. You may have caught his appearances on Iron Chef America and Top Chef Masters, or maybe you’ve dined at one of his acclaimed restaurants—he has had several across the country, from New York to Las Vegas. His latest venture, Grand Tavern by David Burke, has brought him to the StL, and the celebrity chef is excited to make his mark on our city.

When he was growing up in New Jersey, cooking wasn’t one of Burke’s hobbies. Thanks to a simple, restricted diet at home, he didn’t have much interest in food at all, actually. “My father was a health nut, so we didn’t keep soda, sweets or processed food in the house,” he recalls. “I grew up on brown bread and skim milk. It’s trendy now, but believe me, as a kid in the ’70s, I wasn’t happy.” His passion for the culinary arts and hospitality sparked around age 15 when he got a job as a dishwasher in a busy hotel kitchen. “I fell in love with the energy, camaraderie, creativity and instant gratification you have from a successful day at a restaurant,” he says.

Once he decided to pursue cooking as a career, Burke chose to study at the highly regarded Culinary Institute of America and says the experience was a mix of excitement, discipline, fear and respect. “I was a kid who wanted to be a chef going to the best culinary school in the world, and I’ve carried that energy with me my entire career,” he notes. “It was an incredible learning experience.”

After gaining recognition as a sous chef, Burke decided to challenge himself further by tackling pastry school. He attended Ecole Lenôtre in Paris and remembers it fondly. “I was like a kid in a pastry shop,” he jokes.

The experiences at both culinary institutions carried Burke into his incredibly successful career. Among the highlights is receiving the prestigious Meilleurs Ouvriers de France Diplôme d’Honneur for skill and creativity with his native cuisine at the International Culinary Competition in Japan. “I was

chosen to represent the U.S., and that had a profound impact on me,” he recalls.

“I was 26, and even though no one expected it, I had the energy and adrenaline to win.” He adds that while no one award is more important than another, he found it gratifying to be honored by his peers and represent his country.

Along with competitions, Burke’s energy has allowed him to be successful in the demanding restaurant world. He first opened Park Avenue Café with Alan Stillman in 1992, and in 2002, he branched out to his first proprietary venue, Davidburke & Donatella. Since then, he’s been behind more than a dozen innovative restaurant concepts. Even with experience and talent, he notes that opening restaurants is among the most difficult things he’s ever done. “When you’re young, you worry about every detail and get frustrated when something doesn’t go perfectly,” he says. “As I’ve gotten older, I don’t sweat the little stuff as much.” His growing team has allowed him to delegate more responsibilities, but he finds the excitement of a restaurant debut never changes.

When developing the concept for Grand Tavern, Burke says he was impressed by the variety of St. Louis’ culinary scene. “There are some really talented people cooking and a lot of enthusiasm,” he notes. “Because it’s a new spot, I think people who come to Grand Tavern will expect creativity and something different, and we’ll give it to them.” The executive chef is Robert Cantu, and Burke says the restaurant builds off their shared experience and knowledge to deliver the whole package.

Burke himself developed the menu and notes that how he approaches food may be a little different. “Food actually approaches me,” he jokes, adding that his first priority is respecting ingredients. “I source the best products, work with the season, and do my best to stay ahead of the curve and create trends.

I want to give people great value, great taste, great visuals and a great experience, all on one plate.”

the upside

January has a reputation as a time when studios dump the films they have less faith in for critical and commercial success. With a beginning-of-the-year release, The Upside already had me skeptical, but it comes with the added baggage of messy distribution drama. The Weinstein Company originally produced the film, which means it’s hitting theaters well over a year after its premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. Not promising.

Based on a true story (the word ‘loosely’ probably should be applied—it’s a remake of a French film inspired by the life of a French businessman), the plot centers on Phillip Lacasse (Bryan Cranston), a wealthy quadriplegic, and his unorthodox caretaker, Dell Scott (Kevin Hart), a recently paroled ex-convict. The pair strike up an unlikely friendship, and you probably know exactly where the story is going. The Upside follows the formula for an uplifting comedy-drama to the letter, which robs it of any dramatic stakes. It’s cliché, and the handling of race and disability comes across as a little trite.

But there is, well, an upside. Cranston and Hart are both charismatic performers, and the pair have a winning chemistry. The film is most enjoyable when the overwrought sentimentality falls away and the duo just plays off one another. There’s the making of a great buddy comedy here, and in January, you take what you can get.

The story: Two women are murdered a year apart. Police arrest four men, who are subsequently convicted, yet something is not right. Two are released after being proven innocent for the first murder, and the other two sit in prison even with compelling evidence indicating they aren’t guilty. This six-part series is based on John Grisham’s 2006 book.

SIGN OF THE ARROW

As the St. Louis restaurant scene continues to thrive, so does the local cocktail culture. The knowledge that is expected of an average bartender has been elevated, and the next generation of talented mixologists is finding new ways to use old trends to impress patrons. So next time you’re ordering a drink, branch out of your comfort zone and order one of these five cocktails to make you seem ‘in the know.’

4. The Paper Plane This is a great drink for the bourbon drinker who wants something different. Equal parts Aperol, lemon juice, Amaro Nonino and bourbon, all of the elements balance perfectly when made correctly. For those who are into home mixology, this is a great cocktail to barrel age. (Add the lemon juice later.)

5. The Last Word Any drink that can trace its roots to the Prohibition era is inevitably cool in today’s cocktail world. Becoming more and more popular in recent years, this contains green Chartreuse, a French liqueur made by Carthusian monks.

Only two people in the world know the Chartreuse recipe, and it once was used for its medicinal benefits. Mixed with maraschino liqueur, lime juice and gin, this drink definitely packs a punch and should be well-received by the adventurous cocktail connoisseur.

1. The Bobby Burns Named after Scottish poet Robert Burns, this cocktail uses Scotch, sweet vermouth and Bénédictine, a French herbal liquor. This a great drink for Manhattan lovers who want to try something different.

2. The Aviation This can turn heads when ordered because of its color; it’s one of the only cocktails I can think of that is purple.

It contains crème de violette, an herbal and floral liqueur that plays well with the drink’s gin, maraschino liqueur and lemon juice. It tends to lean on the bitter side, which is usually not the case with colored cocktails.

ANIMAL HAVEN CUB CREEK SCIENCE AND ANIMAL CAMP by alexa beattie AT CUB CREEK SCIENCE AND ANIMAL CAMP, everyone has their favorites: Camp director

Anna Ulrich is particularly fond of Nigel the groundhog and Clover the bushbaby; office assistant Anita Krueger loves Jazz the Canadian lynx; and Ari Farley, assistant camp director, has a soft spot for Molasses the alpaca, having hand-raised him from infancy. Farley says the kids treat King Julius, the geriatric lemur, like a rock star. But Lori Martin, who founded the beloved summer camp, says she can’t possibly pick one creature over another. “A mother would never choose one of her children to be the favorite—they all are!” she says.

By ‘all,’ Martin means the 300-plus creatures that call the camp home, from the smallest (a hissing cockroach) to the biggest (a one-humped dromedary). So it’s lucky that down in leafy Rolla, Missouri, there’s ample space for everyone to live together happily. “Some of us are here all year round,” says Farley, who joined the staff as a counselor in 2012. “We have to be, with all of these mouths to feed!”

While Cub Creek is heavily animal-focused, it also incorporates many of the traditional elements of summer camp. “Campers can spend all of their time with animals if that’s what they want,” Farley explains. “But we also promote outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, fishing, ziplining and riflery.” She says water aerobics has been particularly popular the past few years, and the list of activities is always evolving. “We like to keep things fluid and encourage creativity,” she says.

To that end, painting, pottery and photography classes are offered. So are cookery and science.

Budding thespians can find their niche in a theater program, and the outdoor adventurer can become immersed in a survival skills course that teaches kids how to find water, build a fire and forage for wild edibles.

Farley says enrollment numbers are proof of Cub Creek’s growing popularity. “More campers came last summer than we’ve had in the last two years,” she says. “And we have 100 more kids signed up in January than we’ve ever had before.” She attributes this to the overall strength of the Cub Creek family. “Former campers return, and their friends sign up, too,” she says. “Word is spreading.” The lure of the animals also is a powerful force that brings children back. “They miss King Julius, and they can’t wait to see Fendi the Arctic fox,” Farley says.

She adds that, as always, she is excited for the summer ahead. It’s highly likely that some new (furry) members of the Cub Creek family will have been born by then, and Farley says everyone will be waiting for the fun to begin. & CUB CREEK SCIENCE AND ANIMAL CAMP SERVES CHILDREN AGES 7 TO 17 FOR ONE- TO SIX-WEEK SESSIONS.

resolution is to get angry, really angry. Your feelings are there for protection and direction. I’ll explain how to use them to affect needed change.

Let me suggest a few areas in our country that need some change. Up to 75 percent of children and teens are exposed to at least one adverse experience growing up. About 40 percent of kids experience a divorce, 25 percent live with an alcoholic and at least one-third of children are bullied, primarily at school but also at home by siblings. More than 15 percent experience domestic violence, and one out of nine kids lose a parent to death by age 20. Between 15 to 25 percent experience verbal or physical abuse, with 85 percent of child abuse cases unreported.

By age 18, 25 percent of girls will experience some form of sexual abuse, and 3 million children have an incarcerated parent. Two-thirds of suicide attempts are a result of these childhood adversities. We’ve got our work cut out for us. These statistics are from Meg Jay’s excellent book, Supernormal.

This is where anger can come into play. It signals something has gone wrong. These feelings arise in our amygdala, but brain activity shifts to our left prefrontal cortex (PFC) to help us act firmly. The left PFC is the area of the brain that allows us to solve problems, plan for and pursue what we want, and make us feel assertive and self-directed. Using our words to describe what’s making us mad or anxious helps with this shift so that reason can supersede emotion. This switch also helps us not feel powerless.

I’m not a proponent of expressing anger at people, but I teach girls to change their belief that anger is a bad feeling.

I encourage them to channel it to inspire action, resist oppression, and gain the courage to right a wrong or set firm boundaries. Girls can use anger to shift out of a victim mentality to a ‘what am I going to do about this’ attitude.

William Arthur Ward says it well: “It is wise to direct your anger towards problems, not people; to focus your energies on answers, not excuses.”

A study of 2,000 adults by psychologist Mark Seery, Ph.D., found that those who had experienced at least some adversity growing up were both more successful and more satisfied with their lives compared to those who had experienced extreme hardship or low levels of adversity. That’s the good news. What we should focus on, though, is prevention, especially when it comes to challenges like divorce, abuse in all forms, bullying, domestic violence, parental addictions and sexual abuse.

These are all preventable problems, but only if we make the issues important. That’s why we need more anger this year. It will inspire more courage, focus and action. & TIM JORDAN, M.D., IS A BEHAVIORAL PEDIATRICIAN WHO WORKS WITH GIRLS IN GRADE SCHOOL THROUGH COLLEGE IN HIS COUNSELING PRACTICE AND CAMPS.

SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES fair 2019

BY JULIA M. JOHNSON

CHOOL MAY BE OUT DURING THE SUMMER, but that’s no reason for learning to take

a vacation! Parents who want to encourage physical activity, intellectual curiosity and community service in their kids will have lots of options to choose from at the annual Summer Opportunities Fair at John Burroughs School. This year’s event, held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 26, features countless rewarding adventures focused on the outdoors, sports, travel, the arts, volunteerism and more. The fair is open to the public, and admission is free.

Plenty of summer camp and club activities are available locally, but the event also showcases opportunities outside the St. Louis area. Chad Olcott, director of Apogee Adventures in Brunswick, Maine, says his organization offers coed, guided, small group programs that send teens and preteens to various destinations in the U.S. and overseas. Depending on their age and interests, students can choose trips and programs of different lengths that focus on athletics, art, community service and more.

“We have three main goals for our participants,” Olcott says. “We want to show them how wonderful the world can be, give them a hunger for adventure and beautiful places, and help them explore creative processes like photography and art.”

Among the choices are long-distance cycling trips, Spanish-language trips and community service programs in countries where volunteer help is needed. Olcott says teens can enrich PHOTO COURTESY OF APOGEE ADVENTURES their lives by learning about the rainforest firsthand, helping out at a wildlife refuge and immersing themselves in cultures they weren’t familiar with before. “The biggest benefit of our programs is that they allow kids to shine as individuals while feeling supported by peers and leaders,” he notes. Whatever subject they choose, participants stand to gain open minds, long-lasting friendships and a strong commitment to the planet, he says.

Amy Barnett, founder of St. Louis-based Kids Who K.A.R.E. Camp, says her organization also instills a love of helping others. It’s a full-day, week-long program for students age 7 to 14, and its mission is to get kids excited about the rewards of volunteering. “K.A.R.E. stands for kindness, action, responsibility and education,” Barnett explains.

“Each year, we introduce students to several local nonprofits and have field trips focusing on subjects like animals, literacy and the environment. Every day brings something new and different.” Participants plant trees and gardens for charitable organizations, clean up parks, work with shelter pets and collect food for those in need, among many other things. The organization partners with about 70 local nonprofits and offers junior camp counselor training as well.

At the end of each session, students lead fundraising efforts and donate the proceeds to the nonprofits they have served. “Our hope is that young people will feel energized and inspired for a life of leadership and service,” Barnett says.

HOMEWORK

DEAR HOMEWORK,

I just purchased this ranch home in West County. I plan to make a lot of interior upgrades and would like your ideas on how to give the exterior a jolt of glamour to flow with the renovations. Please suggest anything you think will help.

Sincerely, —LOOKING FOR THAT EXTRA SOMETHING

DEAR LOOKING FOR THAT EXTRA SOMETHING,

I am sure that in the late ’50s and early ’60s, your house would have been on the cutting edge of style. With its aggressive horizontal build, plate glass windows and shallow roof slope, this type of house was stunningly different from the traditional style of homes that preceded it. Today though, we want a bit more ‘something’ from our modern designs.

In this case, the ‘something’ that is missing is a sense of composition. Any great-looking house has both dominant and background elements, which work to create a sense of hierarchy in the overall composition. Here, all the elements are basically of the same weight or impact.

To deal with this, I would add a stone chimney breast and taller living room windows to give a strong vertical accent at the center of the façade. Next, add new stone planters on either side of the widened entry steps to create a sense of depth to the overall horizontal lines. A wider front door with a sidelight, accented by a simple light fixture, is more appropriate than the current double door. Painting the existing brick and trim in darker tones allows the lighter stone surfaces to really stand out.

Simple, horizontal-themed landscaping augmented with a bold, new walkway and mailbox pier pulls the whole composition together and gives that ‘something’ the house currently lacks.

Hope that helps, —HOMEWORK

WHAT ARE SOME IDEAS FOR DECORATING AROUND A FIREPLACE? Fireplaces are the natural focal point for some of the most beloved spaces in any home. Depending on the room, that can be a blessing or a curse. The location of the fireplace and the home’s aesthetic will help determine not only the mantel decor, but also how the area around the fireplace can be used. The mantel itself can have a straightforward, formal balance, but don’t be afraid of trying something a little outside the box. Think eclectic or asymmetrical.

The area around the fireplace can be just as tricky as any mantel. Depending on how the room is used, you may find formal balance in the hearth area too stuffy or confining.

If your fireplace is in the family room, keep the area around it clear since there might be a TV in the same space. Avoid placing the TV over the mantel because it’s too high for comfortable viewing. This will create a room with two focal points, so remember that the fireplace always will be there and the TV won’t always be in use.

Try to incorporate furniture that can swivel or be oriented between both potential focal points.

If the fireplace is in a more formal space, create a conversation area around it. Use comfy chairs, a large, upholstered tuffet that pulls double duty as a coffee table, and additional seating in front of the fire when you’re entertaining. Wingback chairs were designed to be used around a fireplace because they capture heat. They can help create the perfect environment for cozy nights in!

As with decorating any area, each situation requires special care and attention.

Research what others have found works best, adapt it for your particular needs and taste, and don’t be afraid to try something new!

-david j. bovier, owner ken miesner’s flower shoppe

MORE IDEAS FOR SPRUCING UP A FIREPLACE AREA: Tucked Away. Have a fireplace that’s not in a sitting room? You still can create a cozy spot for relaxation even in the most unlikely areas. Look for seating that fits the space; don’t be afraid to try something unusual like a bench or hanging chair.

Sofas with Style. For a classic layout, place two matching sofas facing each other with the fireplace centered in the space between. For extra seating for the family, an L-shaped couch makes for an easy fireplace furniture arrangement when paired diagonally with a comfy, upholstered chair.

Remarkable Rugs. A bear skin in front of the fireplace may be a cheesy cliché, but you shouldn’t underestimate the power of a rug to transform a space. Add coziness to your fireplace area with something plush and inviting, or make a bold statement with color and pattern.

What’s on the Inside. Your fireplace won’t always have a fire in it, as cozy as that would be. When it’s not in use, place white birch logs inside. They add character while still being natural and neutral. For something unexpected, try stacking books in place of logs.
