FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

the faces behind the scene

I HAVE MY HUSBAND TO THANK FOR PUTTING THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE. We had a few

plumbing issues recently that come along with owning an old home.

They were fairly simple fixes and the required repairmen all came out on the same day. Perfect! Although the faucet of our shower broke off with part of the pipe in the process … and when my kids turned on their bathroom sink that night, instead of the water coming out where it should, it rushed out of the pipes underneath … and the pilot light on the hot water heater refused to ignite with its new part installed.

So it was showers in the kids’ bathroom, teeth brushing in the master and cold water all around!

Our Glennon Card special section this issue also strikes a chord.

While its focus is on children dealing with major health issues, the underlying message is about hope and a deep commitment to helping others. Each year, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and the Glennon Guild present the Glennon Card fundraiser, which lets shoppers support young patients at the hospital by purchasing a $50 shopping card, good for a discount at hundreds of retailers and restaurants for 10 days. One hundred percent of the proceeds from card sales benefits children cared for at Cardinal Glennon. It’s uplifting to read about families like the Neals who adopted their son Andrew knowing he had a heart condition and were committed to getting him the best care possible. And about the devotion of doctors, nurses and staff who get these young, brave patients through what has to be a terrifying experience.

But really, who cares? As my husband pointed out, if all we have to complain about is a cold shower, we’re extremely lucky. People in Puerto Rico are without basic necessities like food, water and electricity—and their homes! Other hurricane victims in Texas and Florida are still reeling from the complete devastation they experienced. And the unfathomable tragedy in Las Vegas is almost too much to wrap your head around.

There is a lot of tragedy in this world, it’s true.

But there also are a lot of people willing to combat that with empathy, support and kindness. Realizing what other people are going through right now, I think I can handle some cold water.

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

Many arts events in the area are one and done, or happen over a weekend. But there’s still much to see and do from tonight through the weekend during the inaugural Old Webster Art Walk, which kicked off Oct. 6. Celebrate the many splendors of art by taking a leisurely, self-guided stroll any day through Sunday (Oct. 15) on the sidewalks of Old Webster and stop in one of two dozen businesses that are featuring local artists and displaying their works in drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and mixed media. Walking art lovers can drop in participating businesses simply by following the green cones throughout the district, or by using a provided map. Jean Vogel, executive director of the Webster Arts Foundation and one of the participating artists, says there’s “an arts energy in Webster that you can feel down to your toes!” Wow. Besides your toes tingling as you walk, maybe, there’s also snacking and sipping at some stops. Vogel’s photography and mixed media will be displayed at C.J. Muggs, 101 W. Lockwood Ave. On Oct. 11 there is a Girls’ Art Night Out at Yucandu Art Studio. Ladies have three projects from which to choose, and snacks will be provided from 6:30 to 9 p.m.; it’s BYOB. Or, check out a paint-it-yourself session at Pinot’s Palette in the evening. Fruit of the vine (perhaps pinot noir, pinot grigio …) can be had, but they probably won’t accept your fresh masterpiece in trade. The event also will feature artist meet-and-greets at participating venues from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 14). Get walkin’!

WEBSTER GROVES

Someone in Ballwin has a bee in their bonnet. But if you happen to be a bee living in Ballwin, you can continue to buzz on without

a care. The city council told a proposed ordinance targeting beekeepers to buzz off when the ordinance was rejected. So if you’re a beekeeper, relax. The ordinance would have placed restrictions on the size and scope of your operation, placement of hives on the property and so on, with a maximum $1,000 fine. That would have been in line with violations of the pet ordinance, such not monitoring your mutt’s messes. Apparently, only one citizen has complained to the city about bees; if that changes, the council may revisit the issue. (Can you imagine? “Hey bees, get outta my bushes!”)

Can you envision a way to connect Forest Park to the Gateway Arch via a new route? If you’re up to the challenge, it’s already got a name: Chouteau Greenway.

We all have a bit of urban planner in us, although it may only assert itself when we’re stuck at a traffic light or want to turn left and there’s a sign warning us we mustn’t. Well, imagine changing the landscape in a way that transcends traditional physical, cultural and political barriers. Here’s the skinny: Great Rivers Greenway has announced an international competition similar to that for the CityArchRiver project (which, BTW, is due for completion next summer). Teams interested in conceptualizing a plan to connect Forest Park and Washington University to the Gateway Arch grounds have until Nov. 21 to submit qualifications.

You can download the competition manual at chouteaugreenway.org. Once all qualifications have been submitted, a jury will evaluate each team on design goals and community input before recommending four to compete. These four groups will be offered a stipend to work on a conceptual design, which will be reviewed by the public and presented to the jury in late April 2018, after which the winning team must finalize its design by June 2018. With spurs north and south, the greenway likely will stretch five to seven miles, connecting area neighborhoods, employment centers, parks, transit, and dozens of cultural and educational institutions. Like Centennial Greenway in Clayton, the result will be part of the overall network of greenways being built by Great Rivers Greenway and its partners. The competition invites designers to think beyond the trail itself to create active, vibrant spaces and destinations along the way, offering a dynamic and unique St. Louis experience, similar to the High Line in New York City or the Atlanta Beltline. Officials envision the greenway as a vibrant corridor dense with experiential opportunities using community, institutional and private assets to create a unique piece of

urban infrastructure. As the ‘backbone’ of the central city, it will provide connections to communities, institutions and natural resources in and around the core of St. Louis. The first segment of the Chouteau Greenway is presently under construction as part of a grant project to build a new MetroLink station at the Cortex Innovation Community. The competition and resulting design will help partners determine a plan to design and build additional portions of the overall greenway.

CHESTERFIELD

Mobile home parks aren’t commonplace in these parts, but there has been one in Frontenac of all places, and Chesterfield Mobile Home Park has been around for a half-century. Looks like the residents of the neighborhood on Old Chesterfield Road have some breathing room before someone forces them to pack up and move. A Florida developer who wanted to build apartments on the parcel and appealed a decision by the city’s planning commission not to rezone the property has pulled back. It is not clear whether the plan to build 300 or so units will be resubmitted in some other form, but nay-sayers, including red-shirted residents of the park, school officials and clergy, made their voices heard before the planning commission. There are few, if any, similarly affordable alternatives for people who live there. The developer reportedly was working on a relocation package for those affected. Meanwhile, the mobile home park, which is tucked in a wooded area between the road and Interstate 64, is well-maintained. We noticed a nice BMW and late-model Cadillac. Many families have been there 10 or 20 years. A chiropractor who lives there said residents are exploring financial backing to buy the park from the family that owns it, but no champagne corks are popping just yet. The same or another suitor could appear with a proposal that’s more attractive to the city.

[ TT TRIVIA ] HOW LONG AGO DID HUMANKIND FIRST DOMESTICATE BEES?

LAST ISSUE’S ANSWER | THERE IS NO SET NUMBER OF YEARS THAT MAKE UP AN ERA. IT COULD BE A FEW DECADES, 100 OR 1,000 YEARS, OR MANY ZILLIONS. FOR INSTANCE, THE VICTORIAN ERA REFERS TO THE DECADES ROUGHLY DEFINED BY THAT ENGLISH QUEEN’S REIGN. IN NATURAL SCIENCE, THERE’S ANOTHER TIME PERSPECTIVE INDEPENDENT FROM HUMAN ACTIVITY, E.G. THE CENOZOIC ERA, A GEOLOGIC MEASURE OF TIME THAT BEGAN AFTER THE MESOZOIC ERA, SOME 66.038 MILLION YEARS AGO, AND WILL END SOMETIME AFTER WE’RE ALL GONE AND CURIOUS ALIENS WILL HAVE EXHUMED ALL OF OUR SILLY TIME CAPSULES.

THE VELVET

HAMMER ] by joan berkman Q: I INTERVIEWED WITH A FIRM ALMOST SIX MONTHS AGO

AND DID THE OBLIGATORY FOLLOW-UPS WITH NO RESPONSE. THEN, OUT OF THE BLUE, I WAS CONTACTED BY THE HIRING MANAGER SAYING I WAS STILL IN LINE FOR THE JOB, BUT HE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. IS THIS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, OR AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG? ANY TIPS FOR SURVIVING THIS JOB INTERVIEW MARATHON? —GETTING HIRED TAKES LONGER THAN EVER

A: It has never been easy to land a job, but according to national economists, a rise in hiring has added a new twist: Employers are taking nearly twice as long to hire people as they did several years ago. These days, applicants run a gauntlet of multiple interviews, including initial phone screenings and group interviews, as well as personality and skill testing. In addition, more job applicants are being asked to submit business plans and/or face a battery of personnel tests. Performing well during these decision-making marathons requires a thick skin and a number of skill sets. But don’t blame yourself for delays in the hiring process. It is the employers who have added layers to what seems like a never-ending process.

Here are some survival tips: Do ask the hiring manager in your first interview about the timeline for the process and a target date for hiring. Don’t ask how many candidates are applying for the job, which suggests that you’re worried about the competition. If you think you’ve blown one of many exams you’re given during a daylong series of employment tests: Do send an email with specific evidence showing you’ve handled the exam’s targeted tasks very well in real life. Don’t call the hiring manger with a lot of excuses.

If long silences between interviews are driving you crazy: Do suppress your frustration and find a friendly way to stay in touch, such as sending an article of interest or a congratulatory email after the company signs a new customer. Don’t call HR and demand to know the status. If you’re invited to visit headquarters to meet and dine with hiring managers: Do ask thoughtful questions of each manager and his/her specific goals. Don’t relax when dinner arrives with a few drinks and let down your guard and crack some jokes.

Should your prospective boss ask you to research and present a full-blown strategic business plan: Do target your presentation to demonstrate your specific skills and competencies the employer wants. Don’t hand interviewers a written report including your most valuable business contacts and intelligence. Finally, if your No. 2 employer is ready to make you an offer but your No. 1 choice is moving more slowly: Do email No. 1 and explain that other options are advancing and ask politely if there’s anything you can do to expedite the process. Don’t keep quiet and risk losing out on your No. 1 opportunity.

by dr. tim jordan LYNN WAS IN MAJOR POWER

struggles with her 6-yearold daughter Molly. She was upset that Molly wouldn’t give Grandma hugs and kisses when she visited, or play with other kids at recess. The truth was, Molly was slow to warm up to new people and situations, but given time and space, she eventually did. Upon further questioning, I learned that when Lynn was growing up, she was extremely shy and felt isolated in middle school and high school. Her intense energy spent trying to make Molly more outgoing was fueled by her desire to spare her daughter that same pain.

Eminent psychoanalyst Selma Fraiberg coined the term ‘ghosts in the nursery’ years ago to describe how parents bring old baggage like unresolved experiences, thoughts and feelings into the present, where it can ‘haunt’ their parenting effectiveness. I have discovered over the years that parents’ experiences with getting pregnant and problems during and after pregnancy also can become ghosts. These experiences can evoke feelings of sadness, worry and fear that people push below the surface, but they tend to resurface during the turbulence of children’s developmental stages and behaviors. It is these emotions that cause parents to become overly concerned, overreact and parent from a place of fear.

Ghosts tend to appear during predictable situations like sleeping, feeding, tantrums and discipline. Kids who were preemies or had postnatal problems like apnea, seizures or illness create extra worries that cause parents to be overly cautious and check on their child multiple times throughout the night. Babies who were born small, had slow weight gain or failed at nursing raise extra concerns about weight and nutrition even years later when the child is thriving. A history of infertility, miscarriages or near loss of a child to illness sets parents up to have a hard time following through with discipline, because the child is their ‘miracle baby.’ People who had negligent parents often become overly involved in their children’s lives because they want to be there for their kids in ways their parents weren’t.

Feelings attached to these ‘ghosts’ are real and normal, and they just need appropriate outlets so they don’t get mixed into present-day situations where they don’t belong.

Becoming aware of these subconscious emotions gives you power over them. When Lynn became cognizant of her ghost, she was able to embrace her daughter’s shy temperament and give her the space to blossom at her own pace.

If you find yourself fixating on a specific aspect of your child or parenting in an unreasonable manner, check within yourself to discover the ghost affecting your actions.

After a decade of success at Opera Theatre ▶ of St. Louis, general director TIMOTHY O’LEARY is headed for the East Coast!

He’s been named to the same post at the Washington National Opera, an affiliate of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

O’Leary begins his new ‘lead role’ in July 2018.

for commercials. I might be the only person who does not fast-forward through them. Maybe it's all the years I worked in marketing. I appreciate what it takes for a commercial to grab your attention, hold it and then make you do what it's promoting.

The only time commercials get the attention they deserve is during the Super Bowl, and then you have to watch football in between. Yuck!

My friend Mark posted a commercial from Canada that promotes families and friends eating together. No one says a word, but as "What the World Needs Now" plays in the background, a group of unrelated people come together in the hallway of an apartment building, rather haphazardly, to share a meal. The only message is, ‘Nothing Brings Us Together Like Eating.’ Just a few minutes before, everyone had been glued to their cell phones or computer screens. Yes, I am a sap, but if you haven’t seen the commercial, take a look on YouTube.

Growing up, we had a few hard-and-fast rules.

One was that dinner was at 6 p.m. You had to be at the table, ready to pray and eat. If you weren’t, then you might not get dinner, depending on whether there were any leftovers. That’s just the way it was. My mother was not a short-order cook, so there were no special requests. If you didn’t like something, you tried to hide it in your baked potato skin so you wouldn’t get in trouble for not eating it. My mom’s cooking was good, so she has a starring role in the self-published Fitzgerald Family Cookbook. But more important than what we ate were the conversations we had. Over the years I have tried to paint my family as the Waltons, everyone willing to sacrifice so the other sibling could have something a little bit nicer. Well, that’s only true in my revised version of history. We were a typical family with the same arguments and disagreements as everyone else. Everyone went to school and most had part-time jobs, but the one time of day most of us were together was dinner.

The kids handled the clean-up, and it was during those times, when my parents were watching TV and the radio was tuned to KXOK, that I learned about music and other things one needs to know to survive as a kid.

When I am at a restaurant, my heart breaks just a bit when I see people staring at their phones. They aren't looking at one another or talking. What’s the point? So let’s steal Canada’s idea! Start with your family, since you can’t really make strangers come over for dinner. No pressure to cook. Takeout works fine. Just put away the phones, turn off the TV and talk. And then, parents, tell the kids to clean up after the meal and see what happens. Will we start talking to each other? Invite friends to join us for meals? Or maybe even a stranger? Or maybe I just will continue to get overly emotional about commercials. Yes, that’s likely the outcome. But hey, I tried!

[A CARING CARD SSM HEALTH CARDINAL GLENNON CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION

by julia m. johnson CHILDHOOD SHOULD BE A TIME FOR LEARNING, ADVENTURE AND PLAY, but some area children are more familiar with IVs and doctors than soccer balls and bikes due to a life-threatening disease. It’s natural to want to help, and every year, St. Louisans get the opportunity to support young patients at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital by participating in one of its most important fundraising initiatives, the Glennon Card.

This year, the hospital’s shopping card program offers discounts at more than 335 area merchants and restaurants from Oct. 20 through 29. Shoppers purchase a card for $50 and can use it at their favorite participating retailers and eateries for a 20 percent discount during that period. All proceeds from card sales benefit children cared for at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. Cards can be ordered online at glennoncard.org until Oct. 13; after that date, they can be purchased at 218 of the participating merchants. A list of this year’s participating stores and restaurants can be found online.

Using the card is one of the most thoughtful and tangible ways St. Louisans can help fund important hospital services for children, says Traci Ragsdale, who co-chairs the 2017 Glennon Card program with Tricia Davies and advising chair Brigette McMillin. It’s presented each year by the Glennon Guild women’s auxiliary and SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation. The card is a ‘win-win’ initiative because it allows people to help kids by doing something fun like holiday shopping, Ragsdale notes.

“Saving money is always nice, and it seems our cardholders are pretty savvy,” she says. “A couple of years ago, for example, one local family had just bought a vacation home. They waited until Glennon Card time to buy furniture for the new house at participating stores. Other shoppers mark up their participating merchant lists with where they want to go, meet their friends and make a whole day of it.” Cardholders are encouraged to share their finds with others on social media by using Twitter hashtags #glennoncard and #shopSTL, posting photos, and tagging friends and participating merchants. The program’s slogan, ‘Shop Local, Save Local, Support Local Kids,’ illustrates how all proceeds from card sales stay in St. Louis, Ragsdale says.

Glennon Card funds support a different patient care initiative each year. This year, they are earmarked for 3-D printing technology that creates life-size, full-color diagnostic models of patients’ organs and tissues. The models allow Cardinal Glennon doctors to better understand a child’s health condition before surgery or treatment, and can help them explain those processes to the patient and family. Another recently funded project is the renovation of the 4 North inpatient cancer unit at the hospital’s Costas Center. It will be unveiled in January 2018 and includes 18 stateof-the-art patient rooms, an updated playroom, new nursing stations and more.

Since the card program launched in 2011, it has raised more than $1 million to help young patients, Ragsdale says. “We sold 18 percent more cards in 2016 than in 2015, and our numbers of participating merchants and restaurants also have grown. St. Louisans definitely embrace the program,” she notes. “Caring about the community is always good for business.”

Since 2011, the Glennon Card has offered shoppers a chance to give back while patronizing some of their favorite stores. The Alpine Shop is one local retailer that has been involved since the beginning. The $50 shopping card allows for some pretty rare discounts at the outdoor sporting goods store, according to its marketing director, Todd Oswald. “Our customers are getting the best deals on equipment and apparel during the 10-day period,” he says. “It’s not the type of discount we offer very often—maybe one or two other times a year.”

Beyond the practical benefit to customers, Alpine Shop strongly believes in giving back to the community it serves. According to Oswald, it’s something owners Russell and Lisa Hollenbeck stress to employees. “The Glennon Card is one way for us to support an organization that is helping kids in St. Louis,” he says. But it’s not the only way Alpine Shop shows support for SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. On Sept. 14, the store hosted a Pint Night to raise funds for the hospital. “This year’s event was successful thanks to a couple local businesses,” Oswald says. “North Face sponsored the event with us and also provided custom pint glasses, and Schlafly provided beer.

We ended up raising about $2,000, and 100 percent of the donations went to Cardinal Glennon.”

Oswald attributes the company’s fundraising success to Alpine Shop’s employees. He estimates that the store has raised about $50,000 for local organizations through Pint Nights and other events, but the staff holds Cardinal Glennon in special regard. “The biggest helpers with the Glennon Card program are our staff and outfitters who have really gotten behind it,” he says. “They are very passionate about selling and promoting the card as much as possible.”

This commitment is extra gratifying for Oswald because of his personal connection to the cause.

His daughter is a Cardinal Glennon patient. “Katy is an extremely rare case,” he explains. “She has a deletion of chromosome six, meaning part of the chromosome was lost during DNA replication.

The condition doesn’t have a name, and there are only a couple other known cases in the world.” It causes birth defects, developmental delay and learning problems.

While he knows his daughter is not the typical patient and there is no cure, Oswald is grateful for the support she receives at the hospital. “We started going to doctors when she was an infant,” he notes. “Now in addition to her local care, she has doctors across the nation and in international programs, but Cardinal Glennon is where we first felt like we were making progress. When we went there at the beginning of the process, they made us feel like we had someone to talk to. It felt like the doctors truly wanted to understand our concerns as parents and learn how they could help our little girl.”

The involvement of his company is a point of pride for Oswald and the entire Alpine Shop staff. “Personally, I’m extremely grateful to work for a company that goes over and above what is necessary to make this a success for Cardinal Glennon,” he says.

SPECIAL SECTION

ONE PATIENT’S STORY [ andrew neal ] by julia m. johnson

Before he came to SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, 10-year-old Andrew Neal didn’t know what it was like to feel healthy.

He was born with complex heart defects that compromised his circulation and starved his body of oxygen, causing him to feel tired and turning his toes and fingers blue.

Andrew was adopted from China this spring by Allen and Mary Neal of Nixa, Missouri, and was welcomed into a large family of five brothers and three sisters.

“We knew he had heart issues when we adopted him, but we didn’t know their extent,” Allen Neal explains. The fourthgrader had seen a doctor in nearby Springfield, but was referred to Cardinal Glennon for surgery that was the only solution to his complicated problem.

Andrew was born with tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital condition that typically causes a hole between the ventricles (bottom chambers of the heart), thickening of the right ventricle, narrowing in the area of the pulmonary valve and problems with the aorta (main artery).

“In Andrew’s case, a heart valve actually was missing and had to be created using an implant,” Neal says.

“He had undergone surgery in China, but Glennon doctors said they needed ANDREW NEAL AT SSM HEALTH CARDINAL GLENNON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL to modify that prior procedure as well.”

Andrew saw cardiologist Dr. Wilson King and surgeon Dr. Andrew Fiore, and they helped him and his parents understand the operation he needed from start to finish, Neal says. Since he’d had surgery once before, Andrew had some idea of what to expect, but Glennon doctors and nurses went the extra mile to put him at ease.

“They made a 3-D model of his heart and used it to explain what they planned to do,” Neal says.

“It was a perfect scale model that you could open and look inside. We had seen drawings of what the heart would look like, but the model helped us understand exactly how doctors would fix his artery and valve.” It was especially useful as a visual tool because Andrew was still learning English, and that extra level of understanding helped reduce the family’s stress, Neal says. The hospital’s 3-D modeling technology is supported by this year’s Glennon Card fundraising campaign, so other patients and families can have the same peace of mind.

Neal says it took about eight hours for doctors to revise Andrew’s earlier procedure, repair the hole between the ventricles and place the new valve. Andrew stayed in the hospital for roughly four weeks, but he was able to return to school just a few days after going home. “His blood oxygen levels went up right after the surgery, and his color returned to normal,” his father says. “He’s been swimming and playing soccer with his siblings and is ready for more sports! He doesn’t get tired like he used to and feels much better.” Andrew’s doctors don’t think he will need future surgeries, but he still receives regular monitoring.

His parents were understandably worried before the complicated operation, but Neal says their fears were calmed by the compassion and expertise of the hospital’s doctors and nurses. “It’s always difficult to prepare your child for major surgery like this,” he says. “But it was great having medical staff who were so confident and caring.” During Andrew’s recovery, he enjoyed activities like visits from clowns and baseball players, and games with hospital volunteers. “There were all kinds of special events to lift the kids’ spirits,” Neal says. “I’ve never seen a hospital that treats its patients so well.”

He adds, “The best part is, Andrew has been able to go on with life as a normal, healthy child. He has a lot more energy and a positive outlook. We are all pretty excited about that.”

OCTOBER 11, 2017

Few experiences are scarier than learning your child is seriously ill or injured. Parents whose children receive a cancer diagnosis know that all too well.

But young patients receiving care in HOSPITAL PRESIDENT STEVEN BURGHART St. Louis are fortunate to have access to technologically advanced medical care at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Its facilities provide modern treatment, surgery and medical expertise, and what happens behind the scenes makes it all possible.

One critical way Cardinal Glennon receives support is through its annual Glennon Card, a shopping card that offers purchasers discounts at stores, restaurants and other businesses for 10 days each year. Since 2011, the program has raised more than $1 million to fund important patient services. It’s presented by SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and the Glennon Guild, a women’s organization serving the hospital’s young patients.

The Glennon Card is a wide-reaching campaign, but its effects are felt on a very personal level, says hospital president Steven Burghart. Cardinal Glennon serves as many as 200,000 kids a year from preemies to teenagers, many of whose families don’t have adequate insurance to cover medical costs. There’s a constant need for funding, Burghart notes.

The Glennon Card program funds a different project each year. Its 2017 proceeds will go toward 3-D printing equipment to help doctors educate patients and families about health problems and how to solve them. “First, we take scans of the

patient’s anatomy—for example, the heart or skull,” Burghart says. “Then a 3-D printer forms that data into a full-color model of the organ, including blood vessels and other tissues.

The patient and family can touch it, interact with it, see where the problem is and understand what doctors will do to fix it.”

If the patient has a physical anomaly like a congenital defect, the 3-D model makes it easier for the clinical team to explain it to the child and family, he notes. It’s a much more effective educational tool than a generic model that doesn’t reflect the patient’s unique problem. And it offers kids and families peace of mind because they can understand the treatment process more fully. “It’s scary enough for kids to have lab work and other procedures done,” he notes. “Every bit of information we can offer them and their families is helpful in reducing anxiety.”

The 3-D modeling also can help doctors be better informed before performing surgery, Burghart adds. “Now, they can enter the operating room with a greater picture of the problem,” he says. “In the past, surgeons often had to open up the patient first to understand what was happening. With these models, they can create a more controlled and efficient surgery environment.” He gives the example of a patient with a jaw deformity that required surgery. “The surgeon showed me a 3-D model of the jaw, and you could see how the blood vessels and nerves intertwined,” Burghart says. “He even took the model into the operating room to help him plan the surgery.” Burghart says medical students use the models to practice incisions, sutures and other techniques.

Past Glennon Card-supported projects include ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) equipment, a type of artificial lung that keeps the blood oxygenated in children with heart and respiratory failure; telemedicine systems; medical transport team equipment; and critical therapy for kids with behavioral and developmental issues such as autism spectrum disorders. “We wouldn’t be able to create innovative programs like these without support from the Glennon Guild and Glennon Card,” Burghart notes. “Getting the community involved and invested is a great way to raise funding and awareness for these important needs.”

A wood window in the shower?

It meant everything to this client. She wanted a window with the charm of wood not vinyl. Her builder thought she was crazy. I knew she wasn’t.

To problem-solve this, we decided to angle the window sill, install the showerhead strategically, subway tile the entire wall, and paint the interior wood sill with an exterior grade paint.

Everyone loves the welcoming light that pours into this guest bath and warms the space.

easterseals midwest

to change the way the world defines and views disabilities by making profound, positive differences in people’s lives every day

PHOTO: COLIN MILLER OF STRAUSS PEYTON PHOTOGRAPHY

by stephanie wallace

meet volunteer DAVE SANDERS of fenton How long have you been a volunteer?

I think the very first thing I volunteered for was a race in 2014.

What interested you in this particular cause?

At first, it was kind of accidental. I’m a professor at Saint Louis University, and everyone at the university does a lot of community service, especially students. I was looking for a service project to do with my class, and Easterseals Midwest’s race worked with my schedule. I took 30 students to volunteer at that first race. I got to know the people involved, and they asked if I wanted to serve on the race committee to represent SLU. It is such a great organization; I wanted to devote more energy and time to helping however I could.

What kind of volunteer work are you involved with?

I’ve worked on a variety of different projects, like Run, Walk and Roll for two years and the golf tournament. From time to time, I’ve gone into the office and done clerical work. I try to bring in other people as much as possible. Easterseals is my go-to when I volunteer with my students. I’m very passionate about the clients and people we meet. I’ve done some mass student activities like organizing mailing events to send out wish lists and thank-you letters to volunteers. Last spring, I brought my son and 80 students to paint Easterseals’ facilities. The project saved the organization enough money to hire care and support staff for some of the families it serves. I try to find things that get other people involved, including my son. I think it’s important for him to understand and learn the behavior of giving. We have so much that we can give of ourselves

IN THE WORDS OF EASTERSEALS MIDWEST: “Dave is passionate about making the world a better, more inclusive place for people of all abilities.

Throughout the year, he volunteers at events and engages hundreds of SLU students in our mission.

Dave’s energy, optimism and hard work have made him a leader among our volunteers and an invaluable member of the Easterseals Midwest community.”

for the betterment of society. So many people focus on themselves or on the bad things, not on helping. I don’t want him to accept that. I want him to go out and make a change by giving to others. It’s very valuable. There is happiness to be found in helping.

If you could do anything for the organization, what would it be?

I would ensure that it has updated, prepared facilities.

Easterseals Midwest has grown so much, and it would be nice to provide the organization with a better place to serve its clients.

TOWN] by dorothy weiner

WOULD YOU BE SURPRISED TO HEAR

that St. Louis is home to one of the largest collections of newspapers in the country? And I don’t mean simply old issues of the Post-Dispatch and Globe-Democrat.

It’s newspapers from all over America that chronicle the history of our nation.

You may not be familiar with the St. Louis Mercantile Library, but it’s where you can get up close and personal with treasures like the first newspaper printed in St. Louis (Missouri Gazette, July 26, 1808) and a 1750 issue of Benjamin Franklin’s The Pennsylvania Gazette. The oldest membership subscription library west of the Mississippi, the Mercantile, as it is known, has launched an exhibition titled Headlines of History. Viewing the impressive collection of local and national print memorabilia is like a crash course in American thought and norms over the past 250 years.

Now housed in two lower levels of the Thomas Jefferson Library at the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus, the Mercantile, free and open to all, displays more than two centuries of archival newspapers, magazines and books having to do with the development of St. Louis and America at large.

These things very likely would have been lost if not for this niche library, started in 1846 by St. Louis’ merchants, in part to ensure that they had access to the latest newspapers and information from around the country. That effort yielded a cache of amazing printed material, from the June 17, 1776, Pennsylvania Ledger printing of the Declaration of Independence to the iconic 1948 Chicago Tribune headline declaring Dewey a victor over Truman.

For us St. Louisans, it is also a treasure trove of artifacts describing how our city developed. Yes, we know the French and German settled the area, but it’s so much more visceral to actually view their early native-language publications. At one time, St. Louis had no fewer than eight German language papers. And several French ones as well! There are long, descriptive published letters (in The United States Gazette for the Country) by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark detailing the terrain and peoples of the Louisiana Purchase—how else would Americans learn about that wilderness in 1806?

The exhibit will take viewers through other headline-worthy moments in U.S. history—“Brilliant Union Victory,” “Lindbergh’s Death-Defying Dash,” “Churchill Warns of Red Bid for Power,” “Kennedy is Assassinated,” “Men Walk on the Moon.” It is humbling, awe-inspiring and an astounding preservation for posterity right here in our midst. The exhibition runs until September 2019; don’t miss it!

diagnosis to cure can seem like a daunting journey, often fraught with high emotions and stress. Many questions and concerns arise along the way, but modern medicine equips providers to calm any fears with highly specialized and compassionate care from start to finish, SLUCare doctors say.

Before medical professionals began to fully understand whole-person care, their focus was simply on treating the cancer, says SLUCare breast surgeon Dr. Theresa Schwartz, who sees patients at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. “But today, we realize the importance of addressing the patient’s emotional and psychological needs as well as her physical ones,” she notes.

Schwartz says one of SLUCare’s best support resources for breast cancer patients is its nurse navigator, Jill Behymer. “She works with each patient who comes in with an abnormal mammogram or exam, and helps her understand every step of the treatment and recovery process,” Schwartz explains. “By the time I see the patient, she already knows Jill well and views her as a go-to resource for questions and concerns. Jill coordinates patients’ care, gets them in for additional tests if needed, and serves as a point person they can reach anytime. If she doesn’t have the answer they need, she knows who does.”

Behymer also works closely with patients after surgery and treatment, making sure they understand their individually tailored ‘survivorship plans,’ including follow-up visits, medication, diet, exercise and other recommendations. Throughout the treatment process, she connects them with physicians and other care providers to make sure all needs are addressed quickly.

treatment, we always try to make sure she can get in to see us quickly,” Klix says. “We tailor her care to whatever she needs. For example, one patient had trouble drinking liquids and was more comfortable coming in each week for IV fluids. If a patient is having nausea during chemotherapy, experiencing pain or having trouble sleeping, we stay in tune to her unique situation.” Klix says SLUCare’s entire care team works together to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient, including the surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, mammographer, radiologist, nurses and therapists. They can use highly advanced tests like MammaPrint and Oncotype to identify genetic breast GENETIC COUNSELOR SUZANNE MAHON ADVISES A PATIENT. cancer risk and rule out treatment the patient doesn’t need, Klix says.

There’s also good evidence that weightlifting and strength training can improve muscle and bone health. Working with a trainer can help increase the patient’s mobility.”

Depending on the type of treatment or surgery a patient has had, working with physical therapists also can be helpful. They can help her regain strength and normal movement. “For example, if the patient has had her axillary (underarm) lymph nodes removed, a therapist can work with her to increase range of motion in the shoulder and improve the pliability of the skin and muscles,” Schwartz says.

Klix adds, “Recent studies suggest that cancer patients who stay physically active tend to heal better, live longer and have a higher quality of life. If needed, we also can work with the wellness community to help women find support groups and other resources. The idea is to keep the patient as healthy as she can be. The emotional and physical support we provide happens at every step.”

BREAST CANCER:

NEWS AND ADVANCES

BY JULIA M. JOHNSON PINK IS EVERYWHERE IN OCTOBER, AND AT THIS POINT, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS: It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With one in eight women diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, it seems everyone knows someone who has been touched by it, either personally or through a friend or relative. Today, women are aware and have become more vigilant about breast self-exams and mammograms, and modern medical technology continues to advance early detection as well.

And the sooner the diagnosis, the better the outcome after treatment.

... COLLECT AS MUCH BACKGROUND INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE TO HELP DOCTORS ASSESS YOUR BREAST CANCER RISK ...

UNDERSTANDING BREAST CANCER RISK Modern treatments and surgeries are providing promising results for breast cancer patients, but doctors are equally encouraged about another important development: genetic testing to learn about a patient’s breast cancer risk before tumors appear. Early detection is always an advantage, so this is yet another way doctors can help a patient improve her breast health outlook, they say.

Suzanne Mahon, DNSc, RN, an advanced practice nurse who counsels families about cancer risk at Saint Louis University Cancer Center, says a patient generally should discuss DNA testing with her doctor when she has a family history of breast cancer under age 50. “The lower the age at which cancer has appeared, the more concerned we are,” Mahon notes. “Some providers say you should be worried about breast cancer history under age 45; others say 50. In any case, if there’s a history and you’re concerned, it’s better to a­sk

about it than not. We don’t want to miss breast cancer risk that might be there.”

Mahon says patients often assume it’s sufficient to test for genetic risk only on the maternal side since breast cancer mostly affects women. But it is seen in men as well, and risk actually comes from both sides of the family, she notes. “Many people don’t even ask about paternal family history,” she says. “But dad’s DNA can transmit genetic risk for female breast cancer as well. Obviously men don’t express it, but they can pass it along as easily as mom can. Patients have said to me, ‘I’m not concerned because the breast cancer is all on my father’s side of the family,’ but that’s not how it works. Unfortunately, a lot of myths and false information are out there.”

Before testing, it’s important to have frank discussions with family members and gather as much information as you can about cancer history on both sides, says Erin Linnenbringer, Ph.D., instructor

in surgery at Washington University’s Siteman Cancer Center. Other gynecologic diseases such as ovarian, fallopian tube and endometrial cancers can be an indicator of breast cancer risk too, she notes, so they should be mentioned in conversations with your doctor. “These conditions can be difficult for families to talk about, so you might not know about a great aunt’s or grandmother’s cancer unless you ask,” Linnenbringer says. Testing also can be an advantage in cases where the patient is adopted and doesn’t have access to family health history, she notes.

Whatever the circumstances, it’s smart to collect as much background information as possible to help doctors assess your breast cancer risk, whether it’s through DNA testing or other means, Linnenbringer advises. “Keep the lines of communication open with your family and care providers, and look at other ways you can potentially reduce risk through good diet and exercise,” she says.

TYPES OF BREAST CANCER Cancers of the breast generally fall into two categories—those that are confined to the milk ducts and haven’t spread to other parts of the body, and those that have, says Dr. Cara Hahs, a Mercy oncologist and surgeon. “‘In situ’ cancers are those in which the cancer cells have not broken out and moved to the axillary lymph nodes under the arms,” Hahs says. “But sometimes the ‘pipe’ springs a leak and those cells move outside the duct structure. Then we say the cancer is invasive, or infiltrating. Once it becomes invasive, it can spread.”

Hahs says when doctors suspect metastasis, or spreading of the cancer, they first look at those axillary lymph nodes. “We call them ‘sentinel’ nodes because the patient’s lymphatic system drains to them first. If we don’t find cancer cells there, then we know we aren’t likely to find them elsewhere in the body.”

When a growth is found in the breast, it may be treated surgically via lumpectomy to remove the tumor; or the patient may need a mastectomy, which involves removal of one or both breasts. Reconstructive surgery can be done using artificial implants or tissue from another area of the body, such as the lower abdomen or back, Hahs says. In those cases, a plastic surgeon is involved.

Dr. Geoffrey Hamill, a breast radiologist at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, says invasive breast cancers can spread into the neck, chest and other areas of the body. “A third, rare type we see is inflammatory breast cancer, which can become locally advanced and cause swelling, redness, discharge, pain and sometimes enlarged lymph nodes,” he says. “The patient may notice two or three symptoms, but she may not realize it’s cancer because it presents much like an infection. A biopsy can tell whether tumor cells are present.”

30 to 5O views Locates tumors as small as 4mm Indicates cancer earlier Helpful for women with dense breast tissue Hamill notes that 3-D mammography is making strides in earlier detection of breast cancers because it gives doctors a much clearer picture of changes in the patient’s breast tissue. “Rather than looking at one two-dimensional, static image of the breast, we now can scroll through 30 to 50 views of it. That’s because the 3-D technology takes multiple, thin, overlapping images, top to bottom. It allows us to uncover smaller tumors, which is especially helpful in women with dense breast tissue.”

Hamill says the new technology lets doctors see subtle image distortions that may indicate cancer much earlier than with traditional mammography. If they find something suspicious, they can follow up with other tests like breast ultrasounds and biopsies, he says. “With 3-D mammography, we are locating tumors as small as 4 millimeters,” he notes. “These are cancers we might not have seen or felt otherwise. In five to 10 years, as 3-D becomes the standard, doctors everywhere will find cancers earlier and give better prognoses. It’s very encouraging.”

LIFE AFTER BREAST CANCER A clean bill of health is the goal of breast cancer treatment, so it’s also important to plan for what happens afterward, doctors say. Surviving the disease comes with necessary lifestyle changes that can help maintain long-term health.

Dr. John Finnie, a medical oncologist with Mercy, says one of the keys to successful ‘survivorship’ is avoiding extremes in diet and physical activity. “For a period of time after breast surgery, you generally want to avoid brisk activity, at your surgeon’s discretion, to allow the body to heal,” he says. He also recommends eating a balanced diet that is low in calories and fat, and avoiding some foods like grapefruit that can affect the metabolism of prescription drugs.

Dr. Theresa Schwartz, a SLUCare breast surgeon, advises maximizing most other fruits and vegetables, minimizing bad fats and exercising 30 minutes a day for at least five days a week. “Even brisk walking can help maintain your heart health and keep fat levels low,” she says. “You want to increase lean body mass and maintain muscle. This will help preserve overall health and help the body recover faster from chemotherapy.” Finnie adds that after radiation therapy, some patients may experience bone and joint pain, but supplements like vitamin D may help with those symptoms.

Schwartz says while patients may tend to focus on healing the breast area after surgery, it’s important not to ignore the rest of the body. “Continue to get screening tests like colonoscopies when you’re supposed to, and think about your bone and heart health as well,” she advises. “This may be difficult because you’ve been focusing on breast cancer treatment for so long, but it’s all very important for your overall health and healing.” Once the patient has recovered from treatment and surgery, she can work with a personal trainer to regain full physical function, Schwartz says. “Surgery can mean changes in

upper body strength, and there may be hand and foot pain from nerve damage that chemotherapy can cause,” she explains. “All these things take time and effort to heal.”

Finnie adds that it’s important for the patient to explore any persistent post-treatment symptoms with her doctor, and ask any questions she has about how she is feeling. “Guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network state that breast cancer patients should have follow-up doctor visits every three months for the first two years after treatment, and schedule them on a case-by-case basis after that,” he says. “And if there are questions or problems in between, the patient should always feel comfortable speaking up.”

To keep mentally and emotionally healthy after breast cancer, it’s important to allow family members and support groups to help, Finnie advises. “There’s no such thing as a bad or wrong question when you’re taking care of your health,” he notes.

an entertaining guide to entertainment » TV

» The following are three shows you can watch On Demand when you need a distraction

MOVIE victoria & abdul » The Victorian age is one of my favorite periods, and I have

enjoyed Judi Dench’s portrayals of Queen Victoria, so I went to see this film with high hopes. It didn’t disappoint. At the beginning, the audience laughed at a tonguein-cheek disclaimer that the film is based on actual events, ‘mostly.’ From there, the filmmakers managed to weave fiction with fact to create an entertaining story about an unconventional friendship. It’s based on the book of the same name by Shrabani Basu.

The film centers on Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), an Indian Muslim brought from Agra to present a ceremonial coin to the queen. She is old and tired, and barely notices the gesture, but eventually the two become friends, and the queen is revived by Abdul’s kind attention.

He becomes her ‘munshi’ or teacher, and she learns Urdu and the Quran with his help. Her stodgy, jealous advisers and family object to the foreigner’s influence, but she reminds them that she is empress of India, after all, so the lessons are appropriate.

Abdul provides the companionship she craves, and the queen touches his heart as well.

I love that the film is entertaining at every turn, no small achievement in a setting like the highly formal royal court of Victorian England. Abdul and his Indian companion, Mohammed (Adeel Akhtar), provide plenty of comic interest, as does the queen.

SHOULD YOU SEE IT? Yes, I really enjoyed it! - J.J VIEWED AT LANDMARK PLAZA FRONTENAC CINEMA

or laugh but can’t commit to a binge: the lowe files on A&E features the always adorable Rob Lowe and his two sons as they seek to solve long-time mysteries and spooky legends. outdaughtered on TLC follows the Busby family and their adorable quintuplets. Don’t worry, this is no hate-filled Jon & Kate Plus 8. And finally, sweet home oklahoma on Bravo is about the friendship between three women who truly like each other—no fighting like the Real Housewives of Fill-in-the-Blank!

BOOK » priestdaddy: a memoir by Patricia Lockwood. Lockwood’s dad was a

Lutheran minister who converted to Catholicism and became a priest. He moved his family into the parish rectory, where they lived an unusual life. She ends up leaving the church and marries at 19. Forced to return home with her husband 12 years later, she attempts to live with her odd parents. Lockwood is funny, and her writing makes you keep reading even though you should turn the lights off and go to sleep.

[ DRIVEN ] VOLVO S90 by robert w. paster

GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN A VOLVO WAS A SOMEWHAT UTILITARIAN VEHICLE favored by

« health leisure « home « community news « fashion « beauty « society news

we’ve got you covered!

college professors and sophisticated suburbanites that looked like the box it came in. Today, Volvo has a styling department that is making up for lost time, especially with the 2018 Volvo S90, its ‘big’ sedan that presents a refreshing, stylish and sensible option.

From the curved front grille to the low roofline, sculpted lines and LED front-running lights, the S90 is a good-looking sedan from any angle. Good things continue inside where a heads-up display shows your speed and the posted speed limit on the bottom of the windshield, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road instead of the instrument cluster. Here, that’s an LCD screen, not real gauges, which allows for display of navigation instructions right in front of the driver.

Front seats are heated and cooled and swathed in rich nappa leather. The heated leather steering wheel includes handy audio controls, and a 9-inch, dash-mounted touchscreen displays navigation, a 360-degree surround-view camera, back-up camera, and audio and ventilation controls. A sunroof spans the front and back seats, and attractive wood trim adds warmth to the stylish interior.

The rear seat has tons of leg room. Rear-seat passengers also get two sets of vents and their own digital ventilation controls, along with a large armrest between lightly bolstered rear seats. The S90 has a deep trunk with a pass-through for long items, and folding rear seats further expand its cargo-carrying capacity. Power sunshades keep back seat passengers cool.

Instead of a traditional key or start button, the S90 has a switch behind the gear select lever to turn the engine on and off. To conserve fuel, the engine shuts off automatically when the car is stopped. Handling is nice with three drive modes: economy, comfort and dynamic. Dynamic stiffens the shocks, holds gears longer and tightens the steering, making it much more fun to drive.

In dynamic mode, it has good pick-up without turbo lag, thanks to the supercharger. One can shift manually with the gearshift lever.

Being a Volvo, the S90 offers all the latest electronic nannies, including lane keep assistance, advanced electronic stability control, a blind spot indicator with cross traffic alert, back-up camera, front and rear parking sensors, park assist, anti-whiplash front seats, automatic headlights, and collision avoidance, which provides automatic braking and warns you of upcoming hazards.

Oncoming Lane Mitigation steers the car back into its lane if you veer into oncoming traffic, and Run-off Road Mitigation prevents you from leaving the road accidentally. Navigation can warn of traffic congestion and re-route. It seems to do everything but brush your teeth.

The Volvo S90 offers the safety, most of the technology and gadgets, and the leg room (if not more) of a full-size European sedan (think Mercedes E-Class and BMW 7-Series), but does so in a smaller package that’s easier to maneuver, gets better mileage and costs a lot less.

According to Stephen Lynch, general sales manager at West County Volvo, “The 2018 S90 is much more luxurious than its predecessor, with lots of room in the back. The interior is greatly improved to the point where I see it as a sanctuary.”

KATIE LEE COLLIER’S SECOND RESTAURANT IS CHARMING, COMFORTABLE AND DELICIOUS. A

joint venture with artist husband Ted Collier, the West County spot exudes warmth with a light-filled, eclectic interior. Like her Rock Hill location, the dining tables and chairs are of different sizes and woods. The exposed brick walls warm the space that was once Einstein Bagels, a very basic canvas.

When the place is busy (which is often), the inside can be disturbingly noisy and crowded. But the patio is colorful and private, charmingly set off from the parking lot by an ornate fence and lush planter boxes.

The food at Katie’s is consistently good: fresh, flavorful, creative and carefully presented. The place is clearly devoted to ‘quality in and quality out.’ The menu is similar to the original locale, and the execution on the nights we visited was quite good. A starter of House Made Artichoke Toasted Ravioli ($10) was fine, the stuffing flavored mostly with red bell pepper bits and minced artichoke. The ravioli shells were heavily breaded, too much for my taste, but the accompanying pesto for dipping was quite good.

A shared salad, Fried Artichoke ($15), is based on the kitchen’s signature dish. The hearts were beautifully fried to yield crisp leaves—no breading—which dotted a bed of field greens with goat cheese, lightly grilled asparagus and pistachios. The dressing was a tangy balsamic vinaigrette.

The Neapolitan Meatballs ($10) were excellent. Sitting in a slow-cooked tomato sauce, five medium meatballs had good flavor and texture, with Parmigiano cheese, pine nuts and watercress on top. Also excellent was the Eggplant Parmigiano ($10), an olive oil-laden stack of thinly sliced eggplant, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese topped with arugula and radish sprouts. Luscious burrata topped it as well. It was a scrumptious pile of Italian richness.

Don’t go to Katie’s without trying one of the pizzas. Over the years, she has perfected the art of the crust. Hers is chewy, with the right amount of crispness at the edges. And the toppings are creative and exciting. Our Smoked Salmon variety ($19) included capers, slivered red onions, creamy goat cheese and finely minced dill—delicious all around.

We also had the popular Black Spaghetti ($21), a highly recommended bowlful of squid ink pasta teeming with excellent seafood: small clams in the shell, sweet shrimp, scallops and a dollop of salmon caviar. The dish was laden with butter, each noodle excellently coated, with hot pepper flakes adding some bite.

A ‘small plate’ of Chianti Braised Short Ribs ($16) had plenty of flavor, both from the fat-rich meat and the sweet, red-wine vincotto (syrupy wine paste). The single meaty rib came atop an excellent, grainy polenta decorated with two oven-roasted radishes.

A star of the evening was the Tiramisu ($7.95), a dessert so often bastardized that it has lost all appeal to serious gastronomes. Here, it was superb, offering a delicate interplay of ingredients: spongy cake combined with thin layers of rich mascarpone cheese, hints of coffee and a dusting of cocoa powder.

AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER in my first year of grad school,

a group of students invited me to get Korean barbecue with them.

That’s when I was introduced to soju, a clear, distilled beverage of Korean origin. I had no idea what soju was or how to drink it, but the night was one of the best times I’ve ever had with friends. My glass always was immediately refilled by someone else, which I learned is part of the etiquette when drinking soju. You never pour your own glass, and if it’s empty, you’re implying you want more.

Soju is normally lower in alcohol than other spirits, and it’s odorless and colorless. While you might compare it with sake from Japan, soju is very different. Sake is brewed, soju is distilled. It was originally made with rice until the country’s rice shortage in the ‘60s, when distillers started using ingredients like wheat, potatoes, barley and tapioca. It has a subtle sweet flavor on its own, and usually is paired with food if sipped neat. Enjoy one of my suggested sojus below with Kalbi for your own memorable meal!

APRONOMICS NATHANIEL REID OF NATHANIEL REID BAKERY ]

by stephanie wallace | photos by bill barrett

THERE’S SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT A BAKERY: the scrumptious smells,

camaraderie between customers and staff, and of course, the delicious treats all make it hard to even think about without smiling. The charm of local bakeries is part of what inspired chef Nathaniel Reid to open his own, the aptly named Nathaniel Reid Bakery. “I love the interaction with the community,” Reid explains. “When you work in the kitchen of a restaurant or hotel, you get a ticket for each customer and that’s how you know them, as a number. Here, I can engage with the guests.”

A Missouri native, Reid says the road to opening his own bakery has taken him around the world. He studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and received two diplomas, one for pastry and one for savory dishes. Reid enjoyed every bit of his experience in the program. “Part of the learning experience was just being immersed in French culture where high-quality food is such an important part of everyday life,” he says. “There are so many great bakeries and pastry shops.

I tried to spend as much time as possible exploring the city.”

While Reid was at Le Cordon Bleu, one of his instructors won the prestigious Un des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF), a unique French competition that recognizes a variety of trades, including pastry-making. Reid assisted the instructor, providing him with valuable insight. And the baker has made his own mark in world pastry competitions, winning several, including the U.S. Pastry Competition. Winning, however, was never the point of competing.

“I’m happy that I won, but it really was about making myself a better chef,” he explains. “I would try to create the best version of something. Thinking in those terms makes you open your mind to other options and challenges you to be the best you can be.” Even though Reid no longer competes, he sometimes serves as a judge and finds coaching other chefs extremely rewarding.

Before opening his bakery, Reid worked as a pastry chef at a number of prestigious venues, including The Ritz-Carlton St. Louis. His favorite memories are from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas where he was assistant pastry chef at Joël Robuchon. Reid was part of the team that opened the Michelin threestar restaurant. “I loved it,” he says. “It was like-minded professionals working together to create an amazing product. I felt at home with people who worked the same way.”

Reid’s ultimate goal, however, was to open his own bakery. It had been a dream of his since starting in the business. Opening the shop in St. Louis wasn’t part of the grand plan, but it turned out to be the perfect location.

“Missouri is my home; I even talked about how great it is when I was living in France,” he says. “Being able to do this in the community that I love, and with the help of my family and friends, is definitely the crowning achievement of my career.” The community has undoubtedly embraced Nathaniel Reid Bakery in return. Part of its appeal is most likely the variety: Beyond exquisite pastries, Reid showcases his experience by offering various sandwiches, quiche, jams, chocolates and more. And customers are invited to be part of the action behind the scenes through a window that spans the kitchen.

When it comes to Reid’s favorite delicacy from the bakery, he says the hazelnut pound cake is pure pleasure. “It has lemon and orange zest in it, and I dip it in milk chocolate with caramelized hazelnuts,” he says. “The combination is just unbelievable.” But he admits to eating more of his wife’s chocolate pecan cookies. “It’s definitely the item I eat the most—too many,” he jokes. “Sometimes we don’t sell out, and at the end of the day, they’re just staring at me. I feel guilty if I don’t eat them.” It’s a temptation not many who visit Nathaniel Reid Bakery would be able to resist either.

[ WHAT’ S IN YOUR ATTIC?] by karyn williams

THE TREASURE 〉〉 Silver-plated Sabbath candelabra THE STORY 〉〉 This was brought to the U.S. by my parents after World War II. I believe

they purchased it in Austria. I know it’s silver because my mother used to polish it all the time. It comes apart so that all the pieces can be polished. It has tremendous sentimental value, although I don’t use it because I don’t want to scratch the surface by trying to remove melted wax. I think the three prongs are unique, as more contemporary Sabbath candlesticks have only two.

WHAT THE PROFESSIONALS SAY 〉〉 There is wear to the surface plating, suggesting

its age and considerable use consistent with Judaic traditions. Its condition will limit its appeal even if offered in a retail consignment shop selling other Judaica. The market for Judaica is very targeted, and collectors from around the world are quite competitive for objects of great religious and cultural significance, as well as ceremonial and decorative items of silver, Jewish books and manuscripts, and other valuable materials.

VALUE 〉〉 Given the religious significance and function of this candelabra, it will have

greater sentimental value than intrinsic material value. So many people have various well-loved serving pieces and table articles that are silver plate, but unfortunately, these are not in high demand compared to their sterling silver counterparts. Consequently, there is little resulting resale value.

suzie wells gladys manion real estate Are you a native St. Louisan?

Born and raised.

What are some of the best things about St. Louis?

The Hill is one of my favorite places. It’s timeless.

I love the food and history.

Adriana’s is my favorite restaurant, and I love the traditional breads and pizza crusts at Missouri Baking Co. Viviano’s and DiGregorio’s are great for getting real Italian ingredients like olives, cheeses and salami.

Walk into

kitchens and bathrooms differently. Unlimited possibilities (like this highly-customizable faucet), first-class service, and exclusive brands have made us the number one choice for designers, plumbers, contractors, homeowners, and builders.

OCTOBER 11, 2017

What do you like to do in your leisure time?

I love to cook all varieties of food. My family enjoys a wide range of cuisines: Cajun, Asian, Italian and traditional American.

What is your favorite movie/book?

My favorite book is Besh Big Easy, a cookbook by John Besh. He’s a renowned chef with a lot of passion for preserving New Orleans, especially after Hurricane Katrina. I like it because it features many classic dishes from New Orleans with Besh’s unique twists.

What is your favorite room in your house, and why?

Our outdoor veranda is a quiet place to watch TV, read a book, barbecue or enjoy the pool.

If this weren’t your profession, what else might you have done?

I would love to be an interior designer. It’s currently a hobby, and I envy those who are formally trained in that area. I think that would be a fabulous profession.

Where do you like to vacation?

Our two favorite spots are the British Virgin Islands and Steamboat, Colorado.

If you could have your dream home, where would it be, and what would it look like?

It would be a sailboat large enough to house our family of five. I would take it to the British Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands. I love that every island there has its own character. You can’t beat the friendliness of the people, the fabulous weather and the slow pace of island life.

BARB DAVIS

B. Davis Design

As the weather changes, it’s the perfect time to add a new layer of beautiful, natural elements to your home.

Fill baskets with foliage, berries or kale. Use linens, tabletop items and fall-inspired dinnerware to make your home cozy and ready for the season.

PAM LAKEY | California Closets

The eclectic design trend mixes textures, finishes and colors from different design periods. It really gives clients the opportunity to put all their favorites in one space!

BrooksBerry & Associates Kitchens and Baths

I like the contrast of mixing glossy, glamorous design elements with an earthy, industrial edge.

Today’s classic style incorporates softer lines on unexpected items, invoking a feeling of things remembered. Glamorous elements capture attention and draw interest to the space while rustic elements bring balance with a textured feel.

Savvy Surrounding Style

I love the resurgence of jewel tones this fall! Rich, saturated gemstone hues found in nature, such as emerald, ruby and sapphire, offer pure drama to walls, furniture and window treatments. Or just add an accessory for a vibrant pop of color. Emerald green velvet chairs from Jonathan Adler will be the center of attention in any room.

This autumn, go dark and dramatic with walls. As the weather gets cooler, dark walls can add coziness to rooms. An abundance of natural materials like steel, stone, leather, cherry wood and bark keep the space warm against moody walls in this master suite.

HOMEWORK]

DEAR HOMEWORK,

Our daughter just purchased her first home. She had overgrown bushes torn out and wants to plant something that will be low maintenance. The house faces north. Any suggestions for bringing out the charm of this Dogtown house? Thanks!

—HELP THE FIRST-TIME HOMEOWNER

DEAR HELP THE FIRST-TIME HOMEOWNER,

I would like to give the home more personality and interest with some new Craftsman details. For the prominent dormer, I suggest new siding, window trim, roof brackets and a jolt of red for an accent color to banish the blandness. I also would put on a new roof with shingles that have a bit more color and variegation.

For the first floor, I would install a Craftsman-style storm door and also paint it red. A new porch light would continue this theme. I would build two long flower boxes to sit atop the brick porch rail and fill them with welcoming plantings that spill over. Climbing vines hide the two incongruous porch columns. For the small front yard, a simple landscape scheme solves two problems. Billowing ornamental grasses soften the blunt, brick front porch and two Burning Bush hedges hide the possible parked cars, while at the same time reiterating the accent color.

Often when a home sits in a row of architecturally similar structures, ‘gentle’ changes can upgrade it while maintaining the integrity of the neighborhood.

Hope that makes sense, —HOMEWORK
