At its 10th annual school supply drive, the nonprofit distributed more than 400 backpacks filled with back-to-school necessities. More than 50 individuals, church groups and companies donated items and helped with assembly to make the event a success.

The organization was the recipient of items collected from the 12th annual suit drive at Men’s Wearhouse this summer. The clothing was distributed to several local nonprofits that support individuals with limited opportunities, including the homeless, previously incarcerated and veterans.

FROM THEitor

I’ve always said the greatest part of my job is having the ability to inform readers, whether it’s about a nonprofit doing powerful work, great beauty products, area businesses and residents making a difference, or supporting all things local— artisans, shops, chefs, farmers, you name it. I had the privilege of attending a dinner last week hosted by Midwest Dairy. The organization invited three local dairy farmers to share their knowledge and experiences on the job and really, to put a face on an industry that we don’t think about or understand as much as we should. I was just as excited to meet them as I was to enjoy what I knew would be phenomenal food by local chefs.

The dishes did not disappoint; the creative, delicious masterpieces included artichoke Parmesan custard, beef chateaubriand, and palet breton with seasonal fruit. But I enjoyed my conversation with Rick Scheer, a fourth-generation dairy farmer in New Haven, Missouri, just as much. Guests were encouraged to ask questions; this was an opportunity to learn how important regional farms are to both the local food scene and the environment as a whole. I heard about Rick’s decision to ultimately return to the family farm after college and his thoughts on the generational commitment to the land, the nonstop schedule (Rick said they try to make Sundays their one slow day) and his automated milking process.

Life is not easy for these farmers, but I never heard one complaint—not even about the 5 a.m. wake up calls. Instead, there was a humbleness when I pointed out their hard work and dedication. My respect for this lifestyle grew immensely.

Michael Turley of Rolling Lawns Farm (who we featured in our June 27 issue last year!) spoke of the pride he takes in knowing the milk his cows produce on the farm one morning will get to local chefs and stores within 48 hours.

SSM HEALTH CARDINAL GLENNON CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION

A HAPPY MIRACLE

BY J U L I A M . J O H N S O N

Each year, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital makes a difference in the lives of thousands of kids dealing with illness and injury. For most of us, it’s easy to think of the patients by this number, but for the doctors, nurses, staff and especially the families, each patient is a person, and each story is one they live every day. It’s why fundraisers like the Glennon Card are so vital to the hospital’s mission. Saving dollars means saving lives in a very real sense.

One of Cardinal Glennon’s most inspiring patients is 4-year-old Keeva ‘Kiki’ Drye of DeSoto, Missouri.

She has diastrophic dysplasia, a genetic condition that results in severe dwarfism, osteoarthritis, fused joints, club feet and hands, and a cleft palate. It’s caused by a mutation that affects cartilage and bone development. “Kiki has one of the most serious forms of the condition, but she is a trooper,” explains her mom, Jamie Drye. “She receives wonderful, personal care from the physicians, nurses and therapists at CARDINAL GLENNON PATIENT KIKI DRYE Cardinal Glennon.”

Right now, Kiki weighs 24 pounds and stands at 25 inches tall. “Her doctors say that until she can have spinal surgery, they don’t expect her to get much taller,” says Drye, who adopted Kiki and her sister, Katy. “They told us that most kids with the condition don’t grow to more than 3 feet.” Kiki also has severe digestive issues and complications caused by fetal alcohol syndrome, and a number of additional operations are in her future. She is a patient of Cardinal Glennon’s Complex Medical Care program, which helps coordinate her doctors, appointments and surgical procedures. Her SLUCare team includes otolaryngologist Dr. Dary Costa, orthopedist Dr. Aki Puryear, gastroenterologist Dr. Nisha Mangalat and pulmonologist Dr. Kurt Sobush. “They do everything they can to figure out

▶

new ways to help my daughter,” Drye says. “They have such big hearts.”

Drye describes the Complex Medical Care team as her backbone. “When the hospital first started the CMC program, they asked if I would like Kiki to be one of its first patients,” she says. “I quickly said yes because I wanted to do everything I could to help her.”

Drye considered moving her family out of state at one point, but when it became clear what a devoted medical team she’d be leaving behind, she changed her mind. “I can’t imagine caring for Kiki without Cardinal Glennon,” she says. “All of her specialists love her so much. Her case is rare and complex, but they are always open-minded; they learn as much from her as we do from them. I think the best kind of doctor is someone who is highly knowledgeable but also teachable. Cardinal Glennon physicians are able to help my child all the more because of that.”

Despite Kiki’s physical challenges, she stays strong and determined, and Drye says it’s no coincidence that photos always seem to show her smiling. “Kiki came to me as a baby, and I fell in love with her sassy spirit right away,” she says. “At first, I was told she was probably terminal; others said that if she survived, she would never be able to walk. But her Cardinal Glennon doctors were different. Dr. Puryear said Kiki should be the one to decide what she feels like trying. ‘If she wants to walk, we’ll help her walk,’ he told us.” Now, she is making progress and can stand while holding onto things. She uses neck and back braces and other aids as well. “I call her my Princess Warrior,” her mother says. “She’s my heart and soul.”

Drye, who has a large family, says a number of personal setbacks have proven to her that Cardinal Glennon professionals value the caregiver as much as the patient. She says the team rallies around her in times of difficulty, and that bolsters her emotional strength and courage. “I had two surgeries myself not long ago, and staff members called, sent cards and

KIKI WITH HER MOTHER, JAMIE

checked in regularly,” she notes. “They were there for me as well as my daughter. That meant the world to us.”

On another occasion, Drye received some devastating personal news while at the hospital with Kiki, and the staff sensed immediately that she needed a caring shoulder. “One of the nurses saw me before and after I got the news, and without me saying anything, she knew what to do,” Drye explains.

“She told our visitors that Kiki and I needed rest, and when everyone was gone, she came and sat with me.

I was in shock and not even able to cry yet, but she took my hand and cried for me. Cardinal Glennon staff members really are a family unit. They don’t have to go out of their way, but they always do.”

Drye sees raising her children as a personal and spiritual calling, and she runs a charitable foundation to help other families as a way of giving back. “People tell me that Kiki is fortunate to have me as her mom, but I always reply that I’m the lucky one, and Cardinal Glennon is a big part of that,” she says. “Sometimes in life, you don’t realize what you need until you actually receive it.” &

THE HONEST TRUTH EXPERT COACHING ADVICE FROM...

TRAVEL TRAVAILS & PHONE FAUX PAS ▶ I have planned a weekend getaway with four friends. One

friend is on a tighter budget than the rest of us. I’m feeling guilty for suggesting paid outings and nicer restaurants. I’m ready for a splurge, but I also want to be sensitive to my friend’s budget constraints. Help!

jill farmer & beth chesterton

Beth: If you are ready for a splurge, how about offering to buy

dinner for the entire group? This would allow you to travel at the level you desire — even if only for an evening. This act of generosity must come from the heart with no strings attached. No “you can get lunch tomorrow” sort of exchange, which would only create more pressure for your friend. Consider an evening out that will bring you joy to plan and hopefully provide great memories for the group.

Jill: I love Beth’s suggestion of you picking up the tab (either for

your friend or the whole group). I’d also suggest making a group decision about the rest of the meals/outings. I think the more honest everyone is before the trip about preferences, the more enjoyable the weekend will be.

▶ My spouse is always on his phone. I think it’s getting in the way of important family time and one-on-one time with me. When I complain, I’m met with resistance because of his demanding job and work responsibilities. How can I help us find a balance?

Jill: Research shows the ‘always on’ mentality has consequences for people like your spouse—in the form of stress-related illness and burnout. I see it firsthand in my coaching practice all of the time. See if your partner would be open to a small change at first, such as 30-minute segments of phone-free family time. It might be uncomfortable initially, like working out a new muscle. But, he may soon see the world doesn’t end when he unplugs for a little while.

Beth: The Silicon Valley titans who brought us all of this tech know that it’s smart to put down their smartphones. Maybe we’d all be wise to follow suit.

Unless your spouse is in the midst of saving lives, working with clients around the globe or closing a major deal, it is perfectly reasonable to draw boundaries around your personal and family time in order for everyone to be fully present. Far too often, we simply don’t want to unplug from our phones and use ‘work’ as an excuse. I’m guilty of this myself.

TALK OF THE TOWNS by bill beggs jr.

DOWNTOWN 〉〉

Atop a hill, but not officially on The Hill, the iconic domed building at 5400 Arsenal St. has had a rich, if oft-misunderstood, history. Designed to accommodate 150 mentally ill patients, it opened in the spring of 1869 as the St. Louis County Lunatic Asylum. But it always was overcrowded—although new wings were constructed and additional buildings constructed on the 53-acre campus. In 1940, it held 3,844 patients. When jurisdictional lines were redrawn, it stayed put and became a landmark in South City. (Notably, the asylum and the dome of the Old Courthouse were designed by architect William Rumbold.) And, its name evolved over the years: from ‘asylum’ to ‘sanitarium’ to ‘state hospital’ to its present moniker, St. Louis Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center (SLPRC). That mouthful more accurately reflects the healing work being done there today—212 ‘clients’ are housed in a newer series of 14 cottages and four wards completed in the 1990s at 5300 Arsenal. That’s just a thumbnail, of course, of what’s happened over 150 years. I’m eager to know more. Aren’t you? We can tomorrow! A lecture and discussion are slated for 7 p.m. Oct. 10 at St. Louis Public Library’s central branch, an iconic building in its own right. Librarian, archivist and author Amanda Hunyar will provide a behind-the-scenes ‘tour.’ Learn about the 5400 Arsenal building’s role in the evolution of mental health care in St. Louis, as well as the very history of the city itself. Hunyar’s book, St. Louis State Hospital: A 150-Year Journey Toward Hope, will be available for purchase after the program. Free parking is available in the Central Library’s lot off 15th Street.

THE METRO 〉〉

For anyone seeking the fountain of youth, Forever 21 is not where you’ll find it. (Not like it ever existed; allegedly while searching for the mythical water feature, Spanish explorer Ponce de León took an arrow to the chest at the ripe old age of 47.) A mall retailer targeted to teens, the fashion chain has declared bankruptcy. In its Chapter 11 filing, the company reportedly states it will close as many as 178 U.S. stores, as well as pull down the mall gates

12 |

TOWN&style

OCTOBER 9, 2019

on brick-and-mortar operations in 40 other countries, including Japan and Canada. As business remains brisk in Latin America, those locations will be unaffected, for now. Meanwhile, Forever 21 has confirmed its store at West County Center will shutter but has yet to divulge whether any of the other three locations in the metro will close as well. Staffers we contacted either said their stores would be unaffected or referred us to the website, which helped not at all. But if what’s happening to Forever 21 is consistent with recent retailing news, from Nine West and Mattress Firm to Sears, the chain is not long for this world.

Industry observers say malls that already have lost and not replaced anchor tenants gradually shed what’s in between, too, and the mall itself fails. It’s happening more frequently, all over. Chesterfield Mall gave up the ghost, and I’d surmise South County Center isn’t long for this world.

Nothing lasts forever, least of all so-called ‘fast fashion,’ which is designed to be tossed after one season and not a frayed thread more. So, Forever 21—BuzzFeed refers to it as ‘Briefly and Fleetingly 21’—is only temporary.

But you’ll probably be able to find their flimsy garments online for, like, eternity.

CREVE COEUR 〉〉

Authors to appear at the annual Jewish Book Festival are preparing to discuss their works being showcased among a dizzying array of books Nov. 3 through 15 at The J (Jewish Community Center). The keynote speaker is renowned fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, whose high-end brand was made accessible to the public through his partnership with Target. His book: I.M.: A Memoir. His presentation: 7 p.m., Nov. 3. Dave Itzkoff, culture reporter for The New York Times, will share his experience researching and writing Robin, a biography of the late, great Robin Williams. He appears Saturday, Nov. 9. There are to be at least two volumes presented and many lively discussions on Jewish food.

(Who knew? To paraphrase the old cliché: Put any two Jews together, and you’ll get three quite strong and very loud opinions on Jewish food.) Did we say ‘dizzying’? There’s the compelling true account of a plot to infiltrate and destroy Auschwitz from the inside.

For contrast, take a graphic novel that anthologizes the film script Salvador Dali presented to his friend Harpo Marx: Giraffes on Horseback Salad … which MGM rejected. (Harpo, supposedly, had nothing to say about it.) How about A Rosenberg By Any Other Name: A History of Jewish Name-Changing in America? (It didn’t begin and end at Ellis Island, natch. You knew, of course, that presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders was born Bernard Gutman.) Still not tempted? Then consider Nov. 13, when Julie Satow discusses her history of The Plaza,

NYC’s legendary hotel that was bankrupted by none other than Donald J. Trump.

October in a town that loves baseball more than anywhere else is bound to be off the hook, regardless of how the Redbirds fare in the postseason. Folks could even go crazy! Year-round, diehards take selfies with the Harry Weber bronzes of Stan The Man, Ozzie and Bob Gibson. But there was a major-league baseball team here back in the day when Griesedieck Bros. beer might have been the brand vendors sold at Sportsman’s Park. Find out what was up with all of that at the premiere of A Baseball Legacy: Fans Remember the St. Louis Browns this Sunday (Oct. 13) in the Nine Network’s Public Media Commons.

A follow-up to 2018’s The Team That Baseball Forgot, the film features the personal stories of fans and former players, as well as efforts being made by the Browns Historical Society to preserve these memories. St. Louis Browns memorabilia will be on display and merchandise available for sale, including copies of a special magazine commemorating the 1944 World Series between the Cardinals and the Browns.

Yes, that happened. Fans other than unapologetic and indefatigable baseball-card collectors know who George Sisler was, or how the Negro Leagues superstar pitcher Satchel Paige figured into the history of the long-defunct AL team. The Browns, of course, packed up, moved to the East Coast and changed their drab hues to orange and black when they became the Baltimore Orioles.

TT TRIVIA | HERE’S A THREE-PARTER (AT LEAST): 1. FROM WHENCE DID THE ST. LOUIS BROWNS MOVE TO THE LOU? 2. HOW MANY YEARS DID THEY PLAY HERE BEFORE CHANGING THEIR COLORS, NAME AND HOMETOWN? AND 3. WHO WON THEIR 1944 WORLD SERIES AGAINST THE REDBIRDS? LAST ISSUE’S ANSWER | THE OPENING IN JULY 1991 OF HOLLYWOOD CASINO (AND AMPHITHEATER), LOCATED IN MARYLAND HEIGHTS, WAS MARKED BY A STEVE WINWOOD PERFORMANCE.

TOWN TALK

MARYLAND HEIGHTS 〉〉

As much as I love this columnist gig, I must confess that I now have another life goal: To schlep equipment to the next out-of-town performance of violinist Nikki Glenn. Known as the ‘yacht violinist,’ Glenn performs on yachts and cruise ships—that is, when she’s not working 9-to-5 here as an accounts receivable specialist, singing duets with her husband and mentor Charles, or playing for private parties in select venues ranging from country clubs to The Ritz-Carlton. OK, about that schlepping: I’d have to travel to south Florida.

But don’t cry for me. Glenn’s footprint is compact. She can perform in a space as small as 5-by-7, so she doesn’t have a backbreaking stack of Marshall amps to unload, lug up the stairs, down the hall, through the kitchen, to the freight elevator and, finally, backstage. Then, when the night is over, repeat in reverse. Whew! No sweat—her gear is compact, lightweight, state-of-theart Bose. Now, about those big, very expensive boats, some upwards of $40 million, moored in the still waters where she plays, usually set up on the flying bridge of

a yacht: It’s quite the view from her perch.

“There’s always a boat that has a helicopter on it,” she says. This will be the classically trained violinist’s fifth season of playing two luxury boat shows: November in Fort Lauderdale, February in Miami. She’s also been a featured musician aboard Norwegian and Carnival cruises. This all developed from an idea that percolated awhile in a unique artist’s very, very active mind. In 2014, she drove to Florida to ‘walk’ a boat show and landed a gig aboard a $20 million yacht. (Not surprising in the least: To fully describe Glenn’s approach, one would need to add about three syllables to ‘sophisticated’ and four or more to ‘effervescent’!) Using adult-contemporary backing tracks from the likes of Toni Braxton, Diana Krall and Norah Jones, her string stylings create a mood that encourages conversation, not interrupts it. “It has never ceased to amaze me how many musicians look down on ‘background’ music gigs,” Glenn says. “I’ve found that people really do listen—and

they appreciate it when you don’t look like you’d rather be having a root canal.” And, since inquiring minds need to know, where’d she go to high school? She graduated from the esteemed Interlochen Center for the Arts, a fine arts boarding school near Traverse City, Michigan.

Should I show up to court?

Court dates in divorce and family law matters can be stressful. The thought of coming to court can cause stress and anxiety.

Many might even be worried about being seen by others they know. They might feel embarrassed if others see them. Others might not want to take the time off work. They’d rather save their vacation and personal days for a more joyous experience.

There are many different types of court dates in divorce and family law matters. Apart from trials, there can be pretrial conferences, settlement conferences, motion dates and even temporary hearings.

Even when a person has a lawyer, they wonder whether they should show up to court. “Is it necessary for me to appear?” “If I don’t show up, and my lawyer appears for me, does it matter?” “If I’m not needed in court, would I

be wasting my time and my paid time-off by appearing?” These, and other questions like this, are common when facing this situation.

The reality is that an individual going through a divorce or family law matter should discuss this with their lawyer. Having this discussion is critical versus not showing up.

There might be some situations where the lawyer can show up without their client. But as a general rule, when in doubt, show up to court. Bad things could happen when a party does not show up.

This is even more important where a party does not have a lawyer.

Showing up to court is something many judges also notice.

When a party shows up, it sends a message to many judges that the party cares about their case. It shows that their case is a priority.

On the flip end, if a party does not show up to court, it can send the opposite message that this is not a priority to the party.

When a judge believes that the

matter is not a priority, this can sometimes lead to a judge having an adverse impression. This can correlate to a potential adverse result.

For this reason, most parties should err on the side of showing up to every date. The truth is that the impact of these cases can be long-lasting. A judge should understand that the party has made the case a priority. Even dressing appropriately for court can make a difference with many judges.

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

by patty hannum WHEN I REALIZED I HAVE FRIENDS who are nicer than me, it caused me to pause and think that maybe I should stop watching so many true crime shows and do something with my life to help others. Let me introduce you to two of my friends—the nice ones.

I met Valerie Silberman a few years ago during my attempt to get in shape. She is a personal trainer who combines the right amount of enthusiasm and encouragement without making me want to clobber her. She is the real deal. Anyway, she told me about an organization she volunteers with called Healing Action (healingaction.com). Val often teaches yoga classes or helps out with other events for the nonprofit. Like me before I met Val, you might not have heard of it because it deals with something that no one really wants to think about: human trafficking. (Although, if you are an avid reader of Town&Style, you saw the Reaching Out article on its executive director and the Snapped! coverage of its gala published last fall.)

This organization has helped more than 200 clients who have survived sexual exploitation by providing assistance with basics like food, clothing and housing to more complicated services like trauma counseling, case management and peer support. In addition to serving these clients, the organization tries to promote awareness in the community and acts as an advocate with and on behalf of survivors. It is a small organization led by Katie Rhoades, herself a survivor. The nonprofit has one fundraising event each year. This year it’s called Ladies Night, and it’s at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 24 at Earthbound Brewery. You can find more details on the website.

Here’s another idea: If you don’t feel like going to the event, you can make a donation online. I did, and just like that, I felt a tad bit better about myself.

I always have hoped there would be an organization called Making Cancer Suck Less. It is an awful disease—I guess most diseases are—but sadly, in my family, cancer is the one that seems to always get us.

Well, Pink Ribbon Girls is the closest thing I can find to my idea. St. Louis is fortunate because this nonprofit only operates here and in Ohio, and it just so happens that another friend of mine, of course one who is way nicer than me, is director of the St. Louis chapter. Cory Smallwood has put together all of the pieces locally to make sure women who are suffering from breast or gynecological cancers receive some of the very basic support we take for granted. This includes preparation of healthy meals, house cleaning, transportation to and from treatment, and peer support. Can you imagine trying to hop on a bus after a round of chemo?

The chapter’s major event, Ignite the Fight, is Oct. 17. If you are thinking that you don’t want to put on Spanx for a night out, then pull on some biking shorts and head to Pedal in Pink Oct. 19 at Wellbridge. If neither sounds interesting, they take cash! Become friends with Pink Ribbon Girls St. Louis on Facebook. Or email me, and I will get you in touch with Cory. The motto, ‘No one travels this road alone,’ gives me goosebumps, which again is a sign that I need to tone down the snark and start being nicer.

But if I did that, would you read this column?

I think not.

MY MESSY M M LIFE

WITH KATELYN & THE #CRUMBLYCREW

HALLOWEEN IS UPON US! If you are looking for costume tips from the perfect Pinterest mom, I may

not be your girl. But if you are looking for tips from the mom who is tired of spending $60 on thin, polyester costumes (I have bought way too many), has kids requesting outlandish characters that don’t actually exist, or wants to think a little outside of the box, than you have come to the right place! I am the queen of throwing things together at the last second, which sometimes makes for the greatest costumes. Kids usually change their minds a million times before Halloween anyway, so be open to last-minute masterpieces. Here are a few DIY tips I have learned over the years.

◀ Amazon Prime is your best friend. One year my daughter asked me if

age 4 - grade 6 | St. Louis

...at who your child will become.

Open House Nov. 20 | rossmanschool.org

she could be a blue whale. Go ahead and Google blue whale costumes for toddlers and see what you find. A lot of sharks and ugly fishes will populate.

I thought a blow-up whale would be the cutest solution, but I had no idea how to make it work. I found a pool toy for $8.99 on Amazon; we cut the leg holes and worked our duct tape magic for straps. She wore a blue sweatsuit from her closet, and we opted for a ‘90s eyeshadow palette from Walgreens for $3.99. Everyone thought it was great! More importantly, my girl’s dreams came true for less than $20.

▶

Be resourceful. Chances are you have an old wig or funny hat lying around your house. Start there, and then think of ways it could work. I found a blond wig that screamed ‘80s at the bottom of the toy bin. We used a dance leotard, cut old socks for leg warmers, and cut the neck out of a sweater from the giveaway pile. Voila! An ‘80s workout girl.

Everyone at the neighborhood parade flipped out. Start with items from home, and add store-bought pieces if needed.

◀

Get a hot glue gun. If you have a hot glue gun and a junk drawer (who doesn’t?), anything is possible. One year my friend bought the most beautiful Cinderella dress for my daughter. Obviously, she needed a prince.

I was not about to spend $100 on Etsy, nor did I have two weeks to wait for delivery. I found red pants at Target and an old white polo with stains at home and then went to work finding things in my junk drawer. The only thing I had to buy was a 99-cent piece of red felt. I hot glued everything in place, and the li’l guy transpired in less than an hour. Note: HeatnBond is the best for gluing fabric.

◀ Say yes to resale shops. If you have never stopped in to your local Goodwill, now is the time. They are basically a vault of epic costumes and weird accessories that can be pieced together to make sure you or your kids win the contest this year.

» like us on facebook » follow us on twitter » find us on instagram see EXCLUSIVE photos find out the happenings around town—and tell us what you are up to!

And keep an eye out for T&S contests and giveaways

▶

Make it personal. I love when costumes have a personal twist so that every other kid isn’t wearing the same thing. My kids and I have a YouTube cooking show called The #Crumblycrew, and our logo is a unicorn. It was only fitting to recreate our favorite little character for one trick-or-treat session. And hey, free marketing!

More than anything, just have fun and be creative. And let your kids help! They will be extra proud of the result.

If you try DIY and hate it, there is always the day after when you can score the very best deals on costumes for next year. My personal favorite is Pottery Barn Kids. Email me your DIY costumes this year so I can feature them on my blog!

s adults, we might feel nostalgic for our high school days, but the truth is, the average student’s experience may be more work than we imagine.

With heavy academic schedules, time-consuming extracurriculars and big questions about the future, students have a lot to juggle. T&S talked with some of the consultants and tutors who make the load a little lighter.

college The college admission process looms large over students’ (and parents’!) heads, but they don’t have to tackle it alone. Cindy Zelinsky, owner of Absolute College Consulting, says a college consultant can help students and their families find a school that’s the right fit academically, socially and financially. “The choices can be overwhelming, and hearing about peers’ plans can create unwanted pressure,” she notes. “I help students find the best school for them.”

The ideal time to start working with a consultant is the summer before junior year, according to Zelinsky, although she also works with freshmen and sophomores. “Students compile a list of schools they’re interested in and determine which ones they want to visit,” she explains. “This isn’t a cookie-cutter process. I get to know each student so I understand what is really important to them.”

OCTOBER 9, 2019

Zelinsky meets face-to-face with students weekly or biweekly, or she schedules video conferences. Along with helping determine which schools are the best options, she assists students with the application process and writing their essays. “The goal is to get the applications done the summer before their senior year,” she says. “That way, they aren’t overwhelmed and can enjoy their last year.”

career skills Sometimes it can be hard to see our own strengths. Master certified executive coach Beth Chesterton, owner of Chesterton & Co., says she helps everyone from middle school students to high-powered CEOs understand who they are at their best. “It’s not just cheerleading; it’s productive work,” she explains. “You can’t see yourself without the aid of others. I help people find what’s dazzling about them, so

by stephanie wallace they can understand it themselves.

With that knowledge, they become unstoppable when moving toward what they want to make happen.”

Consultations can take many forms, including one-on-one meetings and group sessions, and Chesterton suggests starting around junior year.

For students, a life or career coach can help develop skills in areas like resume crafting, public speaking and interviewing. “It’s about helping them learn to make an impact and stand out from a group of people,” she says.

Sessions also may benefit students who have fallen off track and need help getting back to the top of their game. “If your child is losing confidence or feels stuck, working with a professional can help them see they are making an impact,” she notes. “They might feel awkward learning about their strengths, but they get inspired once they understand how to be effective.”

academics Tutoring likely calls to mind memorizing scientific formulas, historical dates and mathematical equations. While learning content is certainly still part of it, academic support can mean so much more. “To help students succeed at school, you must address all of the issues that interfere with learning,” says Shelley B. Smith, founder of Special Solutions. The education consulting firm helps students improve in key areas, including organization, concentration, comprehension and social skills.

Smith says the biggest sign a student could use extra help is erratic academic performance.

“As, Cs and Fs on the same report card mean they are struggling to manage their workload,” she explains. Other indicators include not wanting to attend classes and disengaging from the school community. Once red flags are noticed, Smith suggests getting school officials involved. “Reach out early in the semester, so teachers and counselors better understand your child’s needs and are more empathetic and patient,” she notes.

At Special Solutions, Smith meets with every student and their parents for an initial consultation to best understand the issues. An academic coach then helps students create a goal sheet for their sessions. It’s important that they meet regularly with the same tutor, she notes. “We value the relationship between student and coach,” she adds. “It’s more beneficial to meet with someone who knows you as an individual.”

One of a Kind OPEN HOUSE: A TASTE OF FORSYTH

TECH FOR KIDS Readers know me for my passion for technology, of course, but I also am interested in education and encouraging students to gain the critical skills needed for the jobs of the future. I didn’t learn about coding or computers until my senior year in high school. But thanks to that exposure, I went on to become a programmer and have been in the field for more than 30 years. Today, kids as young as 5 have numerous opportunities to learn about technology, coding and robotics.

If you are looking for ways to give your children these skills and experiences, here are a few camps and classes available in the St. Louis area. ▶ Create A Loop: Are you looking for a Saturday activity for your child? This nonprofit teaches advanced computer programming skills, design skills leveraging Adobe suite, music and sound engineering, and game design.

They also offer summer programs. (createaloop.org) ▶ Snapology: If your children are obsessed with Legos, they will love this. Snapology offers classes, birthday parties, camps and field trips in the areas of robotics, coding, STEAM, engineering and animation. If you are looking for a variety of options, this is a great way to see where your child’s interest might take them. It also offers corporate team-building events. (snapology.com) ▶ Maryville Science and Robotics Program: The five-week weekend program is available for kindergartners through sixth-graders. It teaches key

Saturday, October 26 skills while kids explore Lego robotics, coding and inventing with Little Bits and Makerspace. (maryville.edu) ▶ theCoderSchool: The No. 1 Silicon Valley kids’ coding program is now available in St. Louis. Starting at age 7, students use Scratch or Snap! in a project-based learning environment.

They have Code Coaches® with a 6:1 ratio of students to coaches.

A progression tree curriculum starts with the fundamentals, then progresses through programming languages such as Python and Javascript. (thecoderschool.com)

(globalhack.org) ▶ iD Tech at Washington University: The university offers private technology lessons through the national organization iF Tech for kids ages 7 to 19. It also offers summer camps that cover everything from coding, game development, robotics, 3-D printing and more. (idtech.com) Exposing kids to technology education helps them develop skills for problem solving and both critical and creative thinking. Most employers look for these soft skills across all industries and career fields. Even though your kids may not pursue coding in the future, they will at least have a greater understanding of how their gadgets work!

CREATIVE VOICE

by julia m. johnson

The term ‘literary critic’

might evoke an image of a person tucked behind a computer in a cramped office stacked with volumes of published work.

But Ron Charles, book reviewer for The Washington Post, doesn’t fit that imaginary persona in the slightest. In fact, you’re much more likely to see the St. Louis native bring his literary opinions to life in crazy costumed videos shot by his wife, Dawn Charles, a high school English teacher.

The critic says he began acting out his book reviews as a tongue-in-cheek response to his employer’s efforts to entice millennial readers. “I was discouraged by what publications were asking journalists to do to attract younger people, like social media and blogging,” he admits. “I thought, ‘What is the most ridiculous way I can promote my work?’ So we created a studio in our home and started making satirical videos with me as this manic, desperate character and Dawn as my shrewish wife.

It’s a great creative outlet.” The couple’s basement is full of costumes they have used for the productions. (Their Totally Hip Video Book Reviews are on YouTube.)

After talking with Charles, you’ll feel like inviting him to your next book club meeting, and not just because he would offer compelling literary insights. While critics have to be confident about their opinions, they also have to wield some tact at times, but neither is a problem for Charles. He’s got plenty of words and ideas and is not afraid to use them, but he also comes across as warm, friendly and funny.

He sometimes meets authors whose writing he has critiqued and says that can be fun or a little awkward, depending on how he felt about their work. “Getting to know them is nice, but if we become friends, I can’t review their books anymore,” he notes.

Charles says he didn’t plan a career as a literary critic. After growing up in Town & Country, he studied at Principia College and Washington University and wound up back in the classroom as a teacher, including a stint in the English department at John Burroughs School. “I loved teaching there,” he says. “The students were wonderful, my colleagues were great friends, and the school really encouraged creativity and intellectualism. But the neverending work wore me down; it stretched across every evening and weekend, and I reached a point where I just couldn’t grade any more papers.” A student’s mother offhandedly suggested he try reviewing literature for a living, so he chose a title, wrote about it and submitted the piece to editors at The Christian Science Monitor.

They accepted it and asked for more, and he was off and running. “I was stunned that they were interested in my work,” he says. “And to be paid for it? That was amazing.” He moved to Boston to take a job as the publication’s book editor, then later relocated to Washington, D.C., to work for the Post. Today, he also writes a weekly newsletter covering a variety of topics.

If you’d like to meet the critic and pick his brain about bestsellers, you may be in luck.

He will be in town Oct. 17 to interview awardwinning writer Susan Orlean, author of The Library Book, at the St. Louis Woman’s Club.

(Reservations are required.) Charles says he enjoys returning to his old stomping grounds a couple of times a year and has led other local book discussions featuring authors like Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout.

“It’s always fun to talk with people who read for pleasure instead of for a living,” he says.

“I love that they have jobs and families but still make time to be alone with a book. It’s a wonderful thing.” &

CANDID WITH SARAH FLINT by laura katherine sawyier SARAH FLINT LAUNCHED HER EPONYMOUS

footwear collection in 2013 at the age of 25. The company, based in New York City, was born from her frustration that women had to choose between feeling good in their shoes and looking great in them. Flint marries artisanal quality and original design with functional elements, improving both fit and comfort. Manufactured in the world’s best factories outside Milan, Italy, the shoes are sold direct-to-consumer, offering customers the best possible price-to-value ratio in the market.

My personal style is feminine yet powerful. As a shoe designer, I’m a big fan of having your shoes make the outfit and not the other way around, so they typically are the first things I think about.

The best pieces of fashion armor in my closet are our Natalie flat and Perfect Pump 85!

I’m making my mark by reimagining luxury. As a woman, I understand the frustration of buying shoes that end up sitting in your closet. Because of this, I obsess over the details of fit and construction to make the most comfortable and durable shoes without ever sacrificing style.

A professional/personal challenge that keeps me up at night … As a young entrepreneur, I get a lot of advice, and it’s not always easy to distinguish the good from the bad. Remaining dedicated to the original pillars of my business helps keep me on track through the challenging moments. It’s easy to get swayed in different directions, but I always make sure I stop and think about what’s most important; in our case, it’s the customer experience.

In moments of self-doubt, I build myself back up with the support of my incredible mom and sisters.

My version of self-care is a quick chocolate break between meetings!

Words of wisdom that resonate with me are, “Stay true to yourself and never compromise when it comes to your vision.”

I stay true to my passions by carving out time to sketch and design. I always look for new places to travel and explore when I’m starting to think about a new collection. Some of my favorite designs were inspired by exploring a new place and culture.

I’m most proud of building a community of amazing women with the Sarah Flint brand. From my wonderful team to all of the women we feature from various industries, it’s so rewarding to see them come together and support one another.

The one thing I would like to say to every woman in the world is, be relentless! You’ll never regret being persistent and putting yourself out there.

[

From 5:30 to 8 p.m. Nov. 8, Sarah Flint will join Laura Sawyier in conversation for Vol. 4 of SALON x LKS. Shop her footwear collection loved by Meghan Markle, Karlie Kloss, Amal Clooney and Cindy Crawford that evening, as well as from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 9.

TREND REPORT fromL.A. by marylyn simpson

DISCOVER THE HOTTEST TRENDS HITTING THE WEST COAST WITHOUT LEAVING THE SHOW-ME STATE!

‘80s comeback What goes around comes around, and that couldn’t be any truer of scrunchies. The once passé hair accessory has made its comeback into the beauty mainstream. They’re a subtle statement-maker, from velvet and silk to neon and patterned. Best of all, they work with every hair type or texture and are a stylish way to accessorize without breaking the bank.

tonally cool Nail art has dominated the better part of a decade now. From stickers to gemstones, more is more when it comes to this trend. With rainbows infiltrating apparel and accessories, it was only a matter of time before the color wheel made its way to nails. Tonal nails (painting each one a different color) is a simple yet fun way to punch up your weekly manicure. Whether it’s full-on rainbow or a subtle ombre, tonal manicures are the latest Instagram nail art trend among influencers and Angelenos (which are usually one and the same if you ask me).

micro mini

bye, bye booty shorts If scrunchies aren’t your cup of tea, that’s OK. Bike shorts may be the year’s No. 1 ‘80s-inspired trend taking over L.A. street style. The skin tight, high-waist elastic shorts are back, but this time, it’s about personal style, not fitness. Pair with anything from a hoodie to a blazer.

This look is all about versatility.

If your purse looks like it could have its own Hoarders episode, then micro mini purses aren’t for you.

Seemingly impractical yet completely fashionable, super small handbags are as cute as they are silly. While I wonder where anyone holding such a small bag is hiding their iPhone 11, there is something to be said for carrying a lighter purse. All kidding aside, I hope this is a trend that lasts. Carrying a heavy purse can be a major health hazard, and that’s never in style.

more than makeup Not into sunless tanner, but don’t want to lose your summer glow?

Kim Kardashian to the rescue! The reality star, beauty mogul, mom and future lawyer released her line of KKW Beauty body foundation, body shimmer and body powder, and I just can’t get enough. From covering up enlarged pores to adding a little extra shimmer to your decolletage, Kim K. has put body makeup on the map. Just one more thing we can thank the Kardashians for.

RETAIL EVOLUTION

BY JULIA M. JOHNSON

THE MISTER GUY FINE APPAREL STORES IN LADUE are approaching an impressive four-decade anniversary. With that in mind, owners Sarah and Simon Rhim decided 2019 would be an ideal year to update and upgrade. To better serve their clientele, the couple renovated and relaunched their men’s and women’s stores in adjoining spots at 9811 and 9817 Clayton Road.

The Mister Guy Men’s store previously was located just down the street, but when space became available next to the women’s store, the owners drew up a plan to bring the two shops together. They undertook a major renovation effort to freshen the interior, rebranded the women’s store as MG Women and updated their e-commerce site. Now, Sarah Rhim says, it’s easier for the stores to hold joint promotions and events, and busy couples and families can shop together more conveniently. “In the past, the Mister Guy brand had 16 sites across the Midwest and southern United States,” she says.

“They did well with side-by-side men’s and women’s locations, so we decided to revisit that idea and put down some new roots in St. Louis.”

Today, the company consists only of the two Ladue stores, but the Rhims are excited about creating a bright future for the business. They took it over from Sarah’s parents, Terry and Carla Felumb, about 10 years ago and spent several months on this year’s remodel. “We added modern fixtures, put in pale wood floors, and repainted and redecorated, among other changes,” Rhim explains. “There are new jewelry cases on the women’s side, and the men’s clothing and shoe departments are larger now. The overall aesthetic is very comfortable and contemporary. Our new interior really makes the clothes and accessories pop.” The total space is about 6,000 square feet, and the stores offer tailoring, styling assistance and other services to personalize the shopping experience. Rhim says the company also is courting the attention of young adult shoppers with brands like Veronica Beard, Mother Denim and Suncoo.

THE OVERALL AESTHETIC IS VERY COMFORTABLE

AND CONTEMPORARY.

To spotlight all that’s new, the Rhims are planning a grand opening party from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 16. “We want to welcome new shoppers and thank generations of clients and associates who have supported us over the years,” Rhim says. “There will be red carpet photo opportunities, music, food and more. Guests are encouraged to wear their favorite Mister Guy fashions, both vintage and current, and proceeds will support Friends of Kids with Cancer.”

Combined trunk shows, holiday gift shopping promotions, new jewelry lines for women, and other nonprofit partner events are on the horizon as well. “We are looking forward to the Glennon Card fundraising program Oct. 18 through 27.” Rhim says. “We get very involved with that and enjoy helping shoppers find the perfect clothes and gifts.”

She and Simon plan to continue their emphasis on seamless customer service well into the future. “It’s a big deal to be in the apparel business this long, and we want to celebrate

that,” she says. &

AS SOON AS I HEARD ABOUT AN AUTHENTIC,

Italian-style piazza newly built on The Hill, I couldn’t wait to see it. Even if it turned out to be just a marble fountain with a bench nearby, I was prepared to love it. After all, it would be a thing of beauty, a new addition to an old neighborhood, and one that served no purpose other than bringing joy to, well, anyone who came by. Now that I’ve actually seen it, I’m happy to report that it’s much more than a fountain.

Right in the middle of the block, facing the neighborhood’s most iconic structure, St. Ambrose Church, sits a new little urban park, Piazza Imo. Yes, a fountain with stallion heads and fish spouting water is the centerpiece. But surrounding it are six benches where visitors can rest and ruminate; this fountain is not just for show, they say, but for solace. Saplings planted all around the park entice you to come back year after year to check on their progress. And being a piazza, this little urban sanctuary is, of course, cobblestoned. An elaborate wrought iron entrance welcomes everyone who passes by.

And there’s more. Beyond the main fountain, two chess stations are permanently anchored, with nearby wall fountains quietly trickling into their respective basins.

A commemorative wall thanks the many businesses and individuals who turned an offbeat idea into a reality. The names are familiar: Ambrose, Bommarito, Frisella, Imo, Torrisi, Ruggeri, Oldani and many others. It’s touching to think that so many Italian families who came here as immigrants take pride in their roots and want to give back to the community that nurtured their forebears.

The Hill is special in this way. It has somehow retained a strong sense of community that feels like a throwback to the ’50s. It’s a true walking community, where neighborhood businesses thrive (especially the food-centric ones). The streets are so clean, even the alleys look like they just got a sweeping. I think it’s fair to say that The Hill is a source of pride for all of us, not just those who live there or share in its Italian roots. Now we have one more reason—the piazza— to show it off to visiting family and friends. And to visit more often ourselves.

COVER STORY

GROUP EFFORT COMMUNITY SCHOOL by stephanie wallace MOST EVERYONE WOULD AGREE THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BIG PICTURE. As individuals, we each bring our own ideas, strengths and responsibilities to whatever ‘it’ is: our families, school or workplace. At Community School, staff and teachers recognize that every child has something to contribute, and they promote working together to make each student feel valued. Because, in turn, students will make those around them feel the same.

The independent school in Ladue has been a pioneer of unique educational approaches and hands-on learning for more than 100 years. “Our mission is to create the leaders of tomorrow,” says head of school Bob Cooke. The latest innovative project on campus is a new outdoor tree house, currently under construction, which will be used by all students for a variety of lessons. The motivation behind any idea like this is to solidify a strong community and encourage the intellectual, emotional and creative growth of all students.

“It’s very easy for schools to isolate students by grade level,” Cooke notes. “We encourage students to build deep connections across grades.” The school puts this into action with its family group program. Groups consist of students from each grade who stay together throughout their time at Community School. When a sixthgrader graduates, a new kindergartener joins.

At the beginning of the school year, each family group creates a crest that reflects who they are, depicting ideas, characteristics and activities they find important. They meet throughout the year, completing projects and supporting members in individual pursuits. Older students learn to navigate the complex process of leading a diverse group, and the younger kids benefit from having role models. “It really changes the dynamic,” Cooke says. “During their final year, sixth-graders are much more focused on supporting the entire school than their own experiences at the top of the social order.”

SIXTH-GRADE TEACHER DARCI CADIEUX SUPERVISES FAMILY GROUPS AS THEY CREATE THEIR CRESTS.

Cooke notes that the school is a community that recognizes the value of nurturing leadership skills. Even 3-year-olds in the nursery school are invited to take on important roles in and out of the classroom. They participate in lunch committee, act as classroom greeters and join the service learning council. “We really believe that when you start early, helping and supporting others becomes second nature,” Cooke explains. “Our students are responsible, caring individuals who know how to both lead and be led.”

This easily can be seen through service learning projects, an important cornerstone of Community School’s curriculum. All students participate in various initiatives, like gathering gently used clothing, collecting books and making treats for local animal shelters. Fifth-graders also take part in a literacy program at public elementary schools in underserved areas. They perform plays for kindergarteners and first-graders, read stories and give books to each child. “It’s a great way to spread literacy in St. Louis, and it really makes an impact,” Cooke says. “I’ve heard from alumni about how the program changed their approach to helping others.”

As part of their final year, sixth-graders help run weekly assemblies, assist with carpool, raise and lower the flag each day, and more. “They have fun with these tasks, but they also recognize their importance,” Cooke says. “They fully accept their leadership role in caring for others, and it’s something that they carry with them to secondary school and their careers. I’m tremendously impressed by the young men and women who pass through our halls.” &

COBALT SMOKE & SEA

must try TEMPURA GREEN BEANS ▶ $9

first impression »

The decor is very appealing, with fish imagery everywhere (and a few pictures of cattle, too). After all, it’s part barbecue joint, albeit a dressed-up one. What’s unique here is that the kitchen takes an interesting, smoke-centric approach to just about everything, including pasta. And you get a lot of bang for your buck with generous portions and moderate prices.

Burnt Ends with Yakiniku BBQ sauce, braised leeks and baby bok choy on sesame soba noodles

These crunchy, delicious treats are barely fried and dipped in spicy sesame syrup—unusual and outstanding.

WHITE CLAM PIZZA ▶ $13

This really hit the spot as a starter—but you have to like garlic! Littleneck clams dotted the thin, crisped crust caked with pecorino cheese.

BURNT ENDS ▶ $19

Served over soba noodles with leeks and baby bok choy, this was an interesting attempt to add Asian flair to American ’cue.

It certainly was tasty, but I’m afraid the thin Japanese sauce was bland against the smokiness of the burnt ends.

RISOTTO ▶ $28

Creamy and flavored with saffron, tarragon and shiitake mushrooms, the dish featured prawns and scallops and was thoroughly satisfying.

BOUILLABAISSE ▶ $21 It was a plateful of nice seafood, but the broth (more of a puree) could have used more flavor.

Plus, it came lukewarm— never appetizing.

SMOKED TOMATO PASTA ▶ $15

Imagine creste di gallo (rooster’s crest) noodles tossed with a heavy, smoky tomato pesto, and that pretty well describes the dish. The hearty meal had unique flavors that worked well together. It was flecked with grilled asparagus, English peas and lemon zest and topped with shaved Grana Padano.

APPLE TART ▶ $8 wash it down:

overall » I’m impressed with this place. Its attractive decor (especially the ginkgo

trees with twinkle lights) offers a place where you can kick back for a nice night out without the ‘special occasion’ prices. And even if you’re not particularly into barbecue, there’s plenty else to order, like baked chicken or seared scallops. It does get noisy at peak times, but there’s an inviting outdoor patio (also with twinkle lights).

The cocktail menu shines with about a dozen tempting signature concoctions. While the Cobalt Affaire (a periwinkle tumbler of Bombay Sapphire gin and blue ice cubes) called to me, the Berry Basil Smash ($10) was my ultimate choice. There is something irresistible about a blend of basil, berries, whiskey and Grand Marnier. It was noticeably boozy, but also deliciously sweet and savory.

Don’t pass on dessert, especially this one. A buttery, dense crust was piled with firm apple chunks, brown sugar and oat crumbles, and caramel sauce. Not overly sweet and totally shareable.

The special blend features coffees from Kenya, Colombia and Guatemala and was created based on the company’s very first blend created in 1995. It will be available until the end of the year, and Kaldi’s has set a goal to raise $25,000 for the medical center.

THE PLAY 1. West led the ♠ Jack, 4 from Dummy, King from East and Declarer the Ace. 2. Declarer led the ♥ 2 to Dummy’s King.

3. The ♥ 5 is led back to Declarer’s Ace, West showing out and playing the ♦ 2.

4. Declarer played a ♥ to East’s Queen.

5. East knew his partner had led from a ♠ sequence J 10 9 (x), leaving Declarer with another ♠ stopper,

the Queen.

6. East then switched to the ♣ Queen.

7. The defense then took one ♥and four ♣s for down one.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED: Declarer should have ignored the bromide “eight ever, nine never” and finessed the ♥ Jack after leading to Dummy’s King. This is called an avoidance play. It keeps the dangerous hand (East) off lead. Even if the finesse loses, Declarer still has two ♠s, four ♥s and three ♦s for nine tricks. When the finesse is successful, Declarer makes four: two ♠s, five ♥s and three ♦s.

TIP OF THE DAY

My partner and I have been playing rubber bridge for years. Our group has dwindled, but we would like to continue playing. Duplicate bridge seems daunting. Is there any game available at our level?

Social bridge is the backbone of our game, and yes, the Chat Game at the St. Louis Bridge Center is such a game. Players with experience like you can play duplicate monitored by a director to discuss bidding and play of the hand. The Chat Game is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with duplicate.

or just taking an evening stroll, some of life’s best moments include getting up and moving. But age, injury or medical complications can mean our knees, hips and other joints aren’t capable of what they once were. The Orthopedic Center at SSM Health DePaul Hospital offers a full range of services to prevent, diagnose and treat joint damage and other musculoskeletal issues, so you don’t have to compromise on the things you love doing.

Opened in 2004, the center and its team of eight orthopedic surgeons have received special recognition for knee and hip replacements, including the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal for Quality and mentions in publications like U.S. News & World Report. Its patient satisfaction scores routinely rank among the top 5% in the nation for joint replacement. “Patients have a wonderful experience because we understand that treatment is a team process,” says orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Schroer. “They get the benefit and expertise of dedicated surgical and nursing staff who are focused on joint repair.”

While the field has come a long way since its foundations more than 40 years ago, Schroer notes that the elective nature of these procedures keeps many people from visiting the orthopedic surgeon’s office. “Fear of surgery can lead patients to seek alternative treatments that have no scientific basis,” he says, adding that an operation is never the first course of action. Nonsurgical treatment options include exercise and physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, weight loss, and cortisone or hyaluronic acid injections.

When surgery is necessary to address the problem, Schroer says that most fears about the procedures are unfounded. “Joint replacement research is focused on making sure patients have the best outcomes,” he adds. “For our patients, the average pain score while doing physical therapy is 3.5 on a 10-point scale, and that’s the day after surgery.” To make sure patients fully understand the procedures, the center has all surgical candidates attend a preoperative education class, which also is open to people who have not yet decided on a course of action. “We educate people so they can make the decision that is right for them,” Schroer says.

SSM Health DePaul also has a clinical research program to make sure it is best addressing patients’ needs. Schroer received a research award from the Knee Society for his work on the positive impact of nutritional intervention on joint replacement outcomes. He and his team found that patients with a high-protein, anti-inflammatory nutrition plan similar to the Mediterranean diet experienced lower infection rates, faster wound healing and fewer return admissions to the hospital. “We’ve been very fortunate to have an ongoing research program,” Schroer says. “We really look at clinical questions and focus on how we can best take care of patients.”

At the center, recovery begins immediately, with many knee and hip replacement patients walking the same day as surgery. “After joint replacement, people can get back to doing their favorite activities, whether it’s biking, golf or tennis,” Schroer HE ALTH MATT ER S says. “Our goal is to keep them active. We like making the rocking chair business nervous.” & SPEC IAL SECT ION

Break free from joint pain

listen to your body. by julia m. johnson

Health conditions affect us in different ways, with symptoms and severity often varying quite a bit from person to person. Pain is no exception—it’s an elusive, often frustrating issue that takes many forms and can affect almost any body part.

Understanding pain and how to treat it is a good first step.

For severe pain …

What is my pain telling me?

Dr. Ramis Gheith, medical director for pain care at SSM Health DePaul Hospital, says pain should not be seen as just a problem.

“It really is a kind of protective mechanism,” he explains. “It's your body's way of telling you there is an issue like injury or infection that needs attention.” He adds that uncomfortable symptoms like tenderness, redness, swelling and warmth can be signs the body is healing itself. Some types of pain may signal a serious disorder.

Gheith says the only way to know if you need medical attention is to see a health care professional, especially if the problem is sudden and/or severe.

Sudden, serious headache: Seek immediate care if you get a headache that is the worst you’ve ever had, or it’s accompanied by fever, vomiting, stiffness, seizures, a rash, visual disturbances, trouble speaking or weakness.

These symptoms may signal a stroke or an infection like meningitis. (Also seek medical care after any head injury; concussion and swelling of the brain can be life-threatening.)

Severe or persistent abdominal pain: If abdominal pain is very severe, persists, or is accompanied by symptoms like fever, abdominal tenderness or blood in the stool, it may be a sign of appendicitis, diverticulitis, pancreatitis or inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis). Seek immediate medical care. *Always get medical help to rule out major problems.

SOURCE: HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL

Acute vs. chronic pain Neurologist Dr. Sita Kedia, chief medical officer at PALM Health, says it generally depends on how long the pain lasts, and both can be caused by the same injury or condition. Acute pain can last for seconds or weeks and may happen after an injury like a broken bone or ankle sprain. Once it continues for more than 3 months, it’s considered chronic.

☛

TAKE NOTE!

 Gheith says drug dependency is a real risk with certain types of pain medication, so it’s important to stay in contact with your health care provider about their use. “The first step in preventing acute pain from becoming chronic is to talk with your doctor,” he advises. “Get a thorough evaluation whenever you have concerns, and avoid the temptation to self-medicate.”

 Kedia says chronic pain often is associated with a sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits and stress. “Prevention and treatment should start there,” she notes. “Try using a standing desk for several hours a day, or set an alarm on your phone that reminds you to walk after sitting for an hour. Schedule time with a personal trainer to stay accountable to your fitness goals, and buy healthy snacks like fruit and vegetables. It’s about prioritizing your time for a healthy lifestyle.”

NATURAL PAIN RELIEF ➊

COLD AND HEAT: Cooling packs and heat wraps are time-honored methods. You also can ask a chiropractor or physical therapist for their versions of these treatments, which can penetrate deeper into tissues.

➋

My Head Hurts!

Gheith says to think of headaches on a spectrum based on their frequency and severity. “Migraines can be more predictable because they may be triggered by things like food, alcohol or stress,” he says. “Tension headaches usually are caused by stress, causing muscles and soft tissues to pull on structures at the base of the skull.”

Migraines often last longer than tension headaches and cause more severe, recurring, throbbing or pulsating pain along with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. According to Kedia, frequency can range from once or twice a year to daily. Common headaches usually are more responsive to over-the-counter medicines like ibuprofen and acetaminophen.

“Migraine treatment should be multidisciplinary and use a mind-body-spirit approach,” Kedia says. “It should eliminate risk factors and include lifestyle changes like increasing exercise and water intake; getting better sleep; eating a healthy, antiinflammatory diet; managing stress through meditation; and receiving biofeedback therapy and health coaching. Specific nutraceuticals like magnesium and CoEnzyme Q10 may be helpful as well.”

For any headache problem, treatment depends on the patient’s age, lifestyle and the severity and frequency of pain, she says.

EXERCISE: Physical activity can interrupt the cycle of pain and reduced mobility caused by certain conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia, especially gentle aerobic exercises like walking, swimming and cycling.

➌

PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY: A physical therapist can guide you through strength and mobility exercises, and an occupational therapist can help you perform daily activities without worsening your pain.

➍ MIND-BODY TECHNIQUES: Meditation, mindfulness and breathing exercises can help mitigate the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response, which curbs muscle tension and pain. ➎

YOGA AND TAI CHI: Learn breath control, meditation and gentle movements to stretch and strengthen muscles.

They may help manage pain caused by conditions like headaches and injury.

➏

BIOFEEDBACK: Learn relaxation and proper breathing with the help of a biofeedback machine, which transforms data on body functions like heart rate and blood pressure into visual cues. Modifying the visualizations can give you some control over your body’s pain responses.

➐

MUSIC THERAPY: It may help relieve pain during and after surgery and childbirth. Classical music has been proven to work especially well.

➑ THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE: Works tension out of your

muscles and joints and brings relief by introducing a competing sensation that overrides pain signals.

➒

NUTRACEUTICALS: Nutritional supplements like curcumin, omega-3 fatty acids and magnesium can help with migraines.

➓

PAIN COPING SKILLS: Techniques taught by a specialized coach or counselor

11 ➊ CRYOTHERAPY: Whole-body cooling therapy that decreases inflammation and increases endorphins

12 ➊ ACUPUNCTURE: Helpful for headaches, arthritis, and back, neck, or knee pain

PICTURE THIS by lauren rechan

ON TREND 〉〉 One thing I always keep in mind when remodeling or building a new home is picking trends that are at the beginning of their life cycle, not the end. This protects your new project from looking outdated just a few years after completion. Here are some of the latest trends, although I can’t predict which will stick around!

The elegant, Old World look of iron doors and windows is a keeper in my book.

Colored cabinets are coming back.

Peacock blue with white counters and natural elements feels traditional yet pops with color.

The French range is making a huge resurgence—it’s beautiful, elegant and highly functional. Mixed metals are especially on-trend.

Blush is the new color for walls, furniture and even clothes. Try a tone closer to beige than pink for a neutral effect.

The heavy use of wood in the kitchen can create a sublimely natural ambiance.

A matte black finish for paint, appliances and hardware continues its popularity.

Performance materials (think Sunbrella) are a new option for rugs and upholstered furniture. Wipe away messes with ease!

F22 |

OCTOBER 9, 2019

Remove all hardware to stay up to date with the new streamlined look in kitchens.

Natural elements like reclaimed wood, rattan and bamboo bring the outside in.

A pewter finish on fixtures like this faucet is popular.

The latest gadgets, like self-serve espresso and wine appliances, will make you feel spoiled.

With so many high and vaulted ceilings, look for more unique, eye-catching custom range hoods.

Not sure if this will last, but the latest finish for appliances is bronze. I would watch this one before jumping on the bandwagon, but it could become all the rage!

HOMEWORK

DEAR HOMEWORK,

We would love your thoughts on our home. We dream about having a fullwidth front porch, but can’t picture how it would look with the rest of the house.

If you have any landscape ideas, we’d be interested in those as well.

Thanks,

—VISIONS OF A VERANDA

DEAR VISIONS OF A VERANDA,

Your house is already charming, and of course, I love your hedges. I would suggest a Regency style porch to give a lighthearted elegance, which will blend well with the rest of the facade. With an arched center opening, curved metal roof and lattice columns, the feel is less serious than it would be with classical columns and a roof balustrade. Also, note that the ground-floor windows have become French doors, and all of the shutters are wider.

The main landscape change is the addition of a pair of pink dogwood trees at the end of the hedges. These frame the house well and won’t grow too tall.

I think it feels much more like a veranda than a porch.

Thanks for asking, —HOMEWORK

want to paint. Buyers will just choose their owns colors anyway. Does it really make a difference?

A. First impressions matter. A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a space and can improve a buyer’s perception of how you care for your home, which ultimately can affect your return.

A. We use unique marketing techniques that target a select database of homeowners who are actively and passively looking to buy or sell. We have connections to those in luxury services industries and deep referral networks. I also prioritize discretion when helping clients navigate large and complicated transactions.

A. Buyers looking in the last quarter of the year

generally have a higher motivation to buy, and some people who are transferring to the area only can look over holiday breaks. Plus, you will have fewer competitors this time of year, and homes decorated for the holidays give an extra special welcome.

FLUTED FEATURES WHO DOESN’T LOVE A HEALTHY DOSE OF TEXTURE? We’re always

looking for unique ways to bring texture to a space, and our latest obsession is definitely a swoonworthy affair. Fluted walls, furniture, light fixtures and decor are filling up our Pinterest boards, and we figured it was time to share with everyone.

All at once, fluting brings a modern, unique touch to the playing field while paying tribute to classical architecture. And yes, we are labeling fluting as a trend that we’re welcoming with open arms, but it really does have a timeless elegance that’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

In the words of interior designer Emily Henderson, fluted accents “add texture without screaming, ‘Hey, I’m modern and cool!’” And a little goes a long way with this subtle, understated detail. Fluted wall panels fit beautifully into modern, minimalistic spaces where they can take center stage. Tight leading between flutes builds texture and contrast while more spaced-out fluting creates a softer, less intense effect.

When extended from floor to ceiling, the clean, vertical lines of wall panel fluting will create the illusion that your ceilings are higher than they really are. Paired with modular, heavy pieces, fluting adds a delicate touch that balances out a space.

If fluted walls are too much of a commitment, include fluting on the end of cabinets, kitchen islands, range hoods and fireplaces. The unique texture immediately catches the eye and brings an interesting texture to the space.

Think of fluting as the answer to the never-ending conundrum: “Something needs to go here, but I’m not quite sure what.” The quiet detail speaks volumes. And needless to say, we’re listening.

designer ▶ joseph dirand

Including a fluted piece doesn’t mean everything else has to be modern, too. Fluting paired with more traditional features can bring balance and flair to a room. For example, a fluted vanity can be the perfect base to build out a feminine, clean-lined bathroom.

So maybe we can’t all bring that floor-to-ceiling fluted wall of our dreams to life, but here’s the good news: There are so many great accents that feature this gorgeous, feminine texture that it is quite easy to incorporate fluted features. We can’t wait to see where this trend will go!
