“For more than 15 years, Michael and Carol Staenberg have played a leadership role in supporting the magnificent restoration of Forest Park as well as the daily care necessary for the Park to remain one of our region’s greatest civic treasures and one of the most beautiful parks in the country and the world. Because of the generosity and vision of the Staenbergs, the beauty of Forest Park is something our entire – Stephen Schenkenberg, Forest Park Forever community can enjoy.”

from the editor's desk We in the editorial department spend a fair portion of every week reading over the upcoming edition, making sure there are no errors before it goes to press. In the process, sometimes I come across items that jump out in their significance.

The one that got me this week was a simple line about the nonprofit store Sign of the Arrow, whose 50th anniversary party appears in our Snapped! section today. As a onetime needlepoint junkie (before carpal tunnel sidelined me), I’ve spent many an afternoon there choosing yarns and seeking advice. Now, I just go for the gift items. But I know firsthand that it always has been manned almost exclusively by volunteers— primarily women and high school students—who commit their time generously to help the shop raise money for local charities.

So what is amazing about that? This figure: $3.6 million. That’s the amount they’ve raised through their slow and steady efforts on behalf of our community—no big donor gifts, no matching grants, just good, old-fashioned volunteer hours.

Same for the Glennon Card, a much newer effort at 5 years, also featured in this issue. It netted close to $1 million for Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. If you are unfamiliar with the card, you shouldn’t be! It is a remarkably simple way to achieve several worthwhile goals: raise money for charity, support local businesses and get a 20 percent discount for yourself at more than 300 spots around town. All we have to do is buy the discount card for $50, all of which goes to the hospital.

In both instances, it’s amazing just how little effort it takes to do so much good.

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

There still may be time to register to participate in or volunteer for the Ivory Crockett Run for Webster on Saturday (Oct. 15), sponsored by the Webster Groves School District Foundation.

The event features a 5K, a 1-mile fun run and a 100yard dash for kids. The cost is $25 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. And you can finish it all off with a pancake breakfast afterward, included in the price of the run.

They’re heeere. Evil clowns are marauding St. Louis neighborhoods all over … well, at least (reportedly), in Pevely and Granite City. But no one in the metro has been able to produce even a grainy image of the Loch Ness Bozos, much less a cell phone image of some creep in a clown costume, even though reports of them have been popping up from coast to coast for more than a month now. Around here, actually, malevolent clowns are nowhere to be found, unless you want to spread a rumor in U. City, Frontenac, Eureka or elsewhere … OMG! I just saw one outside a McDonald’s! (False alarm. That was just a 3-D likeness of Ronald.) We’d surmise there have been plenty of copycat calls to any number of area jurisdictions since the first alleged clown sightings in South Carolina … or, maybe it was somewhere else. Wait, this just in from our intrepid reporter wandering the Wildwood woods; No, another false alarm! Oh, why do folks freak out about clowns anyhow? Beyond the fact that serial killer John Wayne Gacy dressed up as one and painted them, too. But what’s that have to do with you or me? OK, I admit to being terrified, maybe even driven to tears, by a TV clown named Bozo in Baltimore back when I was about knee-high to the much taller clown who wore a white skullcap with frizzy

orange hair escaping in all directions—and oversized shoes, to which I exclaimed, ‘Those look like flyswatters!’

Whereupon he exaggeratedly slapped his soles on the tops of my Buster Browns, then responded, ‘And those look just like flies!’ True story.

No, I don’t have a clip—it was 1960, before there was color television or more than three broadcast channels, and decades before videotape. So you’re about as likely to see little Billy with Bozo as you will a bona fide scary clown— until a couple weeks from now.

In 2014, they purchased a second property from Silverman at 2023 Chouteau and redeveloped that into Jefferson Ballroom, another banquet space (4,000 square feet).

working with special needs children and enjoy helping them get the most from the gallery’s offerings—on their own terms. Families may enter the zoo from the north entrance and will be met by staff at the Living World complex, where they’ll be escorted to Monsanto Education Gallery and the zoo’s Wild Wonder Outpost. Only on these special Saturdays, it won’t be as wild as it can get during regular Outpost sessions—Monday through Friday at 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. and on weekends at 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 and 1:30 p.m.

Some may tell you that Halloween has overtaken all other holidays and that the not-all-that-scary observance is even more popular nowadays than Arbor Day, even. But some folks in Chesterfield say it is absolutely going to the dogs … and they have good reason, what with the ‘Yappy Howl-O-Ween Pawty’ this Friday afternoon (Oct. 14) at Eberwein Dog Park, 1627 Old Baxter Road, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. (Further puns are to be excused. Hey; they started it.) Costumed or not, if they care to paws for this worthy cause, all dogs must ensure their owners have on-hand a copy of the canine’s most recent vaccination record. All critters must be spayed or neutered … and older than 4 months; no itty-bitty puppies, please. Although the event is free and open to the public, participants are asked to bring a small donation—dog or cat food, kitty litter, or perhaps a new toy—to benefit Open Door Sanctuary, the no-kill shelter in House Springs that’s expected to bring some of its own celebrity dogs (and maybe some kitties, we hope, because kitties are our friends) looking for permanent homes with regular folks like us. From 4 to 6 p.m., the pupparazzi (OK, a photographer) will be snapping pawty pics! Dog owners are invited to bring beverages to complement the Yappy Hour hors d’oeuvres that will be available for the people; our four-legged friends may select from the goodies brought in by Treats Unleashed and may help themselves to all the water they can lap up. Some of the best costumes we’ve seen: a pup as the Pope in Holy Hound vestments (pictured) and a toy poodle as Tyrannosaurus Rex (which almost made me spew coffee all over my laptop).

HAMMER ] by joan berkman Q: I’M NOT VERY HAPPY WITH MY CURRENT JOB AND AM THINKING ABOUT MAKING A CHANGE IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. MY JOB SEARCH HAS CONSISTED MOSTLY OF PERUSING ONLINE POSTINGS ON OUR COMPANY’S AND OTHER BUSINESS WEBSITES, BUT MOST OF THESE E-JOB DESCRIPTIONS DON’T GIVE A REAL SENSE OF WHAT THE JOB ENTAILS. ANY ADVICE? —SERIOUSLY LOOKING BUT NEED MORE INFORMATION

A: One of the most valuable tools in your job search is the

informational interview. And, the beauty is that it allows you to gather the facts and keep your search (and current job dissatisfaction) on the Q.T. Taking the time to have an informational conversation with colleagues in other departments or with outside business acquaintances who currently hold a job you may be interested in can help you fill in the blanks. These kind of interviews are low-risk because you are not applying for a job, but simply asking questions for a possible career change down the road. I would suggest having these conversations in a casual atmosphere, which is ideal for asking questions that may sound rather obvious in a more formal setting. Some questions you might want to ask to determine whether the position is something you want to pursue include: What kind of relationship does the manager have with his/ her team? What are the performance objectives? How does that manager measure success? How often does the manager meet with direct reports (team meetings vs. one-on-ones)? If possible, find out what they like or don’t like about their work. All of these details should give you a better picture before pushing the ‘send’ button to apply for that online opportunity.

the fact that your entire team has such a negative opinion about their co-worker is a major warning signal and requires your immediate attention. If you are in a position to help this manager, perhaps there is a way to transfer her to another part of the business that would be a better fit for her individual performance.

According to experts, the best organizational structures allow for both individual and team success. If that isn’t an option, I’d find a way to get this person off the team. Remember the old saying: A leopard can’t change its spots. A toxic employee eventually will infect the rest of a team with his or her negativity and directly impact their performance and, eventually, your bottom line.

THE[IN]SIDER

PATTY d e h s a e unl

BY PATTY HANNUM

I DON’T KNOW WHY BUT THE EXPRESSION ‘I’VE BEEN BLESSED’ has always bothered me.

It has nothing to do with religion—I would consider myself quasi-religious. (I definitely want a priest at my death bed, you know, just in case.) But it seems when you say you’re blessed, the implication is the other person isn’t. It’s like you got the lottery scratcher ticket market BLESSED. So why this existential crisis of feeling blessed? Lately it is because I’ve been thinking about my friends. In other words, I’m blessed.

So, today, I want you to meet three. All three make the world a better place, but in different ways.

Connie and Dan Burkhardt love the great outdoors, specifically Missouri River country, and as you may recall, I like my nature best behind a glass barrier. They recently purchased and rehabbed a country store located in Peers, Missouri, and I promised to get out there one weekend. The store, right on the Katy Trail, provides a great stop for bikers and hikers to take a break and listen to some live music before continuing on the trail. For me, the idea of shopping took the edge off of being immersed in nature, so I was in.

I imagine all of us of a certain age had mom-andpop shops in our neighborhoods that carried our favorite snacks and knickknacks, and that’s what the Peers Store has. It also features some beautiful art from Missouri artists that will make you appreciate the talent you don’t have. After spending time in the store, I ended up on the front porch listening to music and just staring out over the Missouri River Valley.

Hmm ... it’s very unlike me to expose myself to birds and such.

But I enjoyed the day so much, I am going back Oct. 23 from noon to 4 p.m. for the first-ever Peers to Treloar Party hosted by Connie and Dan, Magnificent Missouri and The Katy Land Trust. To get to Peers, follow Hwy. 94 along the Katy Trail through Defiance and Augusta, and in about an hour, just outside of Marthasville, you’re there. You can walk, bike or take a tram the 3 miles between Peers and Treloar. You will want to hit both places, since Treloar has the brats and Peers has the ice cream (but both have music). I can’t imagine a better way to see beautiful countryside so close to St. Louis, and also meet people who actually will admit to being my friends.

My other friend making the world a better place is Andrea Lefoff. I wish she’d been around when I was raising my kids. True, children are blessings, but not each and every ridiculous thing they do. When I was a young mom, we just weren’t encouraged to tell people we wanted to run away from home when our kids were driving us crazy. I could have used some irreverence during my kids’ younger years, the kind Andrea espouses on her new web series, ‘Dope Ass Mom’ (on You Tube or andrealevoff.com). Watch it.

It may not be for everyone, but let me just say, it’s a blessing.

A glimpse at what’s going on around St. Louis and beyond.

by dorothy weiner

Another accolade for our library system: the year-old Grant's View Branch, which has a wall of windows overlooking Grant's Farm, was recognized in the American Libraries 2016 Design Showcase as a "shining example of innovative architectural feats that address(es) user needs in unique, interesting and effective ways." It was one of 15 libraries honored, and the only one in Missouri.

A generous $10 million gift from W.U. alums Andrew and Jane Bursky is slated to launch the Bursky Center for Human Immunology and Immunotherapy at W.U. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. The gift also supports an endowed distinguished professorship for the center’s director, Robert D. Schreiber, recently named a senior adviser to the national Cancer Moonshot initiative led by Vice President Joe Biden.

Welcome, new SLSO musicians! The symphony has added four new artists: second violin Janet Carpenter, who spent four years in the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra; cellist Elizabeth Chung, who received her B.M. and M.M. from Juilliard School; bassoonist Vincent Karamanov, formerly of the Grand Rapids Symphony; and Yin Ziong, Juilliard student and principal cellist at the Pacific Music Festival for three years.

Popular FM talk radio station KFTK-FM has made St. Louis radio history by adding two new frequencies that greatly expand coverage of its FM 97.1 dial position.

Programming now can be heard also on FM 98.7 and AM 1490, with signals ranging from the far western edge of the metro area well into Illinois, according to Emmis senior VP & market manager John Beck. Listeners can dial into whichever frequency comes in strongest.

The SAINT LOUIS ART MUSEUM recently published Plains Indian Art of the Early Reservation Era, an examination of its collection of Native American Art, which was significantly enhanced by a 2010 gift from Carolyn Danforth. She donated artworks accumulated over the years by her late husband, Donald Danforth Jr. Pieces include beadwork and quillwork on hide that chronicle how indigenous groups of the Plains adapted their mobile lifestyle to the confines of reservations. The catalogue presents these works, along with expert essays.

COVER STORY

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

13498 Clayton Road 314-439-0900 www.jawhitney.com Thank you for your business and for shopping small!

by alexa beattie FIFTY DOLLARS GOES A LONG WAY WHEN YOU SPEND IT ON A GLENNON CARD. The card is

a fundraising initiative of SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and the Glennon Guild—a 300-member women’s organization that supports the hospital. “It’s such a simple idea,” says card chairperson Lori Hartman, who has seen the program go from strength to strength in a short span of time. For a 10-day period in October, the $50 card entitles the cardholder to a 20 percent discount off regularly priced merchandise at more than 300 stores, restaurants and salons across the area. The entire dollar amount from card sales goes to improving the children’s hospital, and since 2011, when the program was launched, the card has raised more than $785,000.

Hartman says the program most recently has funded upgrades for the outpatient cancer center and atrium area, but also has paid for essential pieces of telemedicine and heart and lung monitoring equipment. “Sometimes, a need can be met with $5,000, and sometimes $100,000,” Hartman says, adding that funds raised each year are used in entirety. “What comes in, goes back out,” she says.

This year, the money is earmarked for upgrades to the 4 North inpatient cancer care unit.

Currently, patient bathrooms are shared and hospital rooms offer no proper place for parents of sick children to rest. Hartman says proceeds will afford sleep sofas for families and private bathrooms for patients.

The card also helps participating vendors. Alpine Shop in Kirkwood was one of the original program participants, and marketing director Todd Oswald says the Glennon Card has been a boon for business from the start. “After the first year, we looked at our traffic and sales numbers to determine if it made sense to continue. By pretty much every metric we looked at, the card had been a success,” he says, adding that because so many big national chains have extended the holiday season to encourage more sales, it is more important than ever to drive traffic to locally owned businesses. Oswald also has a personal interest in the program since his own daughter, who has a rare chromosomal condition, has been a patient at Cardinal Glennon.

Hartman says the beauty of the card is that it benefits everyone: the savvy shopper (the card pays for itself after $250 in purchases); the merchants who enjoy a boost in sales during a traditionally slow pre-holiday period; and, best of all, the 200,000 children the hospital serves each year. “You can’t put a price on that,” she says.

This year, the Glennon Card can be used from Oct. 21 through 30 and may be purchased online at glennoncard.org until Oct. 14, and at 208 of the participating stores until Oct. 30. For a complete list of stores selling the card, visit glennoncard.org. A complete list of participating businesses is available through the mobile app, mobile.glennoncard.org.

For The Container Store, participating as a vendor is about more than having its name listed among other local businesses. “We really value supporting local charities and volunteering our time,” says general manager Emily Winter. “We’ve been fortunate to have a great relationship with Cardinal Glennon. We’re always looking for a way to help nonprofits, and when Cardinal Glennon approached us, we were thrilled to jump in and help.”

Since 2011, The Container Store has been one of the Glennon Card’s biggest advocates by selling 428 cards in-store. Based on those sales, the store alone has raised $21,900 for the children’s hospital. Combine that amount with card sales throughout the city and online, and the annual fundraiser has yielded more than $785,000 since 2011 for a hospital that never turns a family away.

The card’s popularity has steadily grown throughout the years. Every participating business offers customers a 20 percent discount on regularly priced merchandise purchased in-store from Oct. 21 through 30. “It really is heartwarming that customers are coming to see us because we support Cardinal Glennon,” Winter says. “It’s a win-win for everybody.”

For the past two years, The Container Store has gone beyond just selling the cards. Winter and her employees have updated and reorganized spaces within the hospital using merchandise donated by the store. “We made over the Shining Star School, a teachers’ area, with elfa shelving,” Winter says. “Teachers who work with hospital patients store books there, and in the newly organized spaces, they easily can see all their books and supplies. It gives them more time in their day, which means more time to enrich the lives of their patients. It also added more space to their work area.”

The Container Store donated the products, and employees donated their time to build it. “We are really fortunate that we hire great employees and have a wonderful team that volunteers,” Winter says. “It’s great to support the community in that way. And it’s not hard to get employees to volunteer when we offer them the opportunity—they love to do it!”

The classroom was the store’s second Cardinal Glennon project. A year ago, the business reorganized three closets for the hospital. “After we organized the Child Life area (where specialists work with patients and their families to cope socially and emotionally), they had more space and were better able to use it,” Winter notes. “It also allowed them to spend more time with children and their families. It was such a success last year, we wanted to offer more support this year, and that’s why we redid the Shining Star School.”

ONE PATIENT’S STORY [ gabriel polston ] by alexa beattie

Erica Polston finds joy in the details, in the little things often lost in the shuffle of a carefree life. Her son has acute lymphoblastic leukemia (a childhood blood cancer) and the sound of his laughter—when he’s well enough to laugh—literally is music to her ears. Gabriel is only 3, but his mother says there are things about him, ways he has, that speak to an older soul. “When he’s at the hospital and hears a baby crying, he wants to comfort her,” she says. “He knows what the baby is going through. He knows how she feels.”

Gabriel was diagnosed with the disease in January of 2015 and has been under the care of doctors at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital since August of last year. The Polston family home is in Fulton, Missouri, so obtaining the treatment he needs has meant living out of suitcases and sleeping on makeshift hospital beds. During the course of treatment, Gabriel had a bone marrow transplant, requiring him to live close to Cardinal Glennon for at least 100 days in case of complications. So his mom and he moved into a temporary Ronald McDonald House apartment near the hospital. Meanwhile, his dad, Jeremy, stays behind to work, traveling 100 miles each weekend to be with his wife and child.

Polston says for someone so young, Gabriel has some understanding of his condition. From time to time, he will incorporate illness into his games, pretending that his toys are going for bone marrow transplants.

“It comes out in subtle ways,” she says. “And it’s then that I get a sense of what he knows. It’s very hard.”

Still, she remains positive and says the experience in many ways has been “a gift. It sounds funny to say, but it has been so valuable and incredibly enlightening,” she admits.

“I’ve learned that the things I thought were so important really aren’t. It completely changes your perspective. Who cares if the house is a mess!”

In February, Gabriel had a relapse and needed to resume chemotherapy. After spending March and April at Cardinal Glennon, he and his mom packed their bags and moved again, this time to the Mid-America Transplant Family House off Oakland Avenue, where they remain in temporary lodging until later this month. Then, Gabriel will travel to Philadelphia to take part in a T-cell clinical research trial. He currently receives chemo two to three times a week.

Over the course of his illness, Gabriel has had treatment at three different hospitals, “but none,” his mother says, “has provided Cardinal Glennon’s level of care.” A few weeks ago, as the result of chemo, the toddler went into anaphylactic shock. “We thought we were losing him,” his mom remembers, “but his doctors brought him back. They are absolutely phenomenal.”

PEDIATRIC SURGEONS USE A SCOPE.

by megan ortiz

The inpatient cancer unit at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is getting a much-needed makeover, thanks to continued community support from the Glennon Card. The SANDY KOLLER single-patient rooms at the hospital soon will have their own private bathrooms, and sleeper sofas will be added to each room.

“When kids have cancer, parents and siblings often move in,” says Sandy Koller, executive director of the SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation. “Being able to provide a healing environment is a high priority this year, and the Glennon Card is one of the things that’s going to help do that.”

Entering its fifth year, sales of the discount shopping card (which costs $50) go entirely to the hospital and allow community members to receive a 20 percent discount at more than 300 participating restaurants, stores and salons just in time for holiday shopping. Each year, the money is funneled toward a particular area. This year, making the inpatient cancer unit more comfortable for both patients and their families is top priority.

The hospital always has had single-patient rooms, but the bathrooms were shared between neighboring patients. “You can imagine the importance of privacy when these kids are very sick and not feeling well,” Koller says. “The impact on families will be huge.”

To add more comforts for the children, Cardinal Glennon also is expanding and updating the playroom for cancer patients and creating a parent lounge for adults needing to

step away briefly to deal with business or make phone calls.

Among the projects underwritten by the Glennon Card over the years:

TELEMEDICINE EQUIPMENT Expert physicians from Glennon can consult remotely on cases in rural areas with the hospital’s telemedicine equipment. Glennon Card purchases helped fund this video equipment, which allows doctors to work with children who would not otherwise have access to a specialist because they are at a hospital as far as 80 miles away. “The technology is so advanced, it’s as if the specialist is in the room with the patient and their local physician,” Koller says.

ADVANCED PROCEDURAL AND SURGICAL SCOPES The money raised by Glennon Cards allows the hospital to upgrade to the highest technology, including advanced procedural and surgical scopes for patients undergoing general surgery, ear, nose and throat procedures, urological interventions, orthopedic surgeries or pulmonary procedures.

The tools, which provide better views of infected areas, give doctors an in-depth look that improves accuracy during surgeries.

ULTRASOUND MACHINE The latest quality in imaging can be credited to Glennon Card purchases. Doctors were able to replace older ultrasounds with GE Logiq E9 equipment that allows them to visualize the blood flow. It is the latest in imaging, and it’s portable. “Not having to transport a child across the hallway is so comforting, and it helps with wait time,” Koller says. “Family-centered care is so important to us, and helping keep kids as comfortable as possible. With the ultrasound machine, the doctors have the information they need to treat the patient at the highest level necessary.”

REACHING OUT award winner

cancer support community

To ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community to enhance their overall well-being

MEET LILLIAN BOLOZKY OF CHESTERFIELD | VOLUNTEER

by karyn williams Q| HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A VOLUNTEER? A| I began volunteering at Cancer Support Community (CSC) in 2001 after my first diagnosis with lung cancer.

Q| WHAT MADE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS PARTICULAR CAUSE? A| My daughter thought I would be a good volunteer and convinced me to get involved

because of my personal connection to cancer. Both my mother and an aunt died of cancer.

My husband Jack and I owned a jewelry business for 25 years with our business partner, and when it was time to retire, I wanted to start giving back to the community.

Q| WHAT KIND OF VOLUNTEER WORK ARE YOU INVOLVED WITH? A| I greet anyone who is new to our CSC community, answer phones, and help with tribute and thank you cards.

Q| IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING FOR THE ORGANIZATION, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A| The one thing I would like to do for CSC is help spread the word and let more people know about its programs and the resources that are available. I want everyone I know to let everyone they know about this community right here in St. Louis.

IN THE WORDS OF CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY: “Known to many as

‘Bubbles,’ Lillian Bolozky is an essential and irreplaceable volunteer who shares her skills and loveliness with staff and members alike. Over the years, not only has she answered phones, done mailings and data entry, and greeted guests and members with a smile and kind words, she’s also helped coordinate Cancer Support Community’s tribute donation program by sending out notification cards to the families of those honored or memorialized and acknowledging contributions.

She’s also done all the data entry for the Staenberg Family Foundation Cancer Services program since it started. Lillian understands firsthand what many of the CSC members go through since she is a lung cancer survivor who unfortunately was diagnosed again in 2013 and 2015. She understands now more than ever how important it is to make a difference in the lives of people living with cancer. She was honored for her commitment to helping people impacted by cancer and for making a positive difference in the community as the individual honoree of the Marsha Wolff & Tina Borchert Inspiration Award at our Stories of Hope Gala last year.

COVER STORY

[AGE IN PLACE TONY LaMARTINA PLUMBING CO. by alexa beattie NOWADAYS, OUTFITTING A HOME FOR THE ELDERLY OR DISABLED doesn’t have to mean

institutional-style grab bars and roll-in showers. Thanks to ‘universal design’ (UD), aesthetics don’t have to be sacrificed for safety.

Matt LaMartina of Tony LaMartina Plumbing Company explains UD as a movement to make buildings and products both aesthetic and usable by everyone regardless of ability. It has come about, he says, largely because of increased life expectancy. As baby boomers reach a later phase of life, there are an increasing range of products and services available to ease their passage from middle to old age. “Features for mobility-impaired people now only add to the elegance of the space,” he says. “You don’t want (or have to have) your house look like a hospital.” LaMartina has been in the plumbing business with his father—who started the company in 1981—for the past four years. The family business (with its team of 12) has its fingers on the pulse of new trends in the trade, especially when it comes to retrofitting homes for the aging boomer generation.

Nowhere is safety more of an issue than in the bathroom, LaMartina points out. “Bathrooms are common sites for slips and falls,” he says. “Take the shower, for instance: you don’t want a lip that can be tripped over.” Ideally, it ought to have a seat or allow for a wheelchair, and tiles on the shower floor and throughout the room should be slip-resistant. “Done the right way, a roll-in shower, one that accommodates a wheelchair, can look contemporary and very sleek,” he says.

Traditional bathtubs also can cause problems for infirm seniors, but some now come with doors. Such a feature is made possible, LaMartina explains, by a rubber membrane inside the door, which inflates by pneumatic pump to create a watertight seal. Grab bars throughout the room are essential, he says, and a wall-mounted toilet installed at a comfortable, non-standard height is something to consider as well. He suggests that separate hot and cold faucets be switched out for the single, levered variety. “For someone with arthritis, a tap that requires less complicated movement is preferable,” he says. It also requires less temperature adjustment.

LaMartina reports he already has installed certain features for his own father, working with other contractors (carpenters, electricians and tile-setters) to bring all the elements together. He is sensitive to the issue, he says, realizing that most people want to ‘age in place’ in their own homes as long as they can. “We want to help people maintain their dignity,” he says. “And we have ways to do that.”

A blog on the plumbing company’s website provides a wealth of tips on everything from retrofitting a home with Universal Design to water conservation and getting rid of sewer smells.

Vietnamese Lemongrass Beef Wraps, Braised Short Ribs, Barnegat Bay Scallops, Arepa Trio, Whole Fried Snapper, Calvados Caramel Apple Crepe

OPENED JUST A YEAR AGO (October 2015), Copper

Pig has both ambience and menu going for it. Located in the trendy Southhampton neighborhood near a few other hot spots, the interior is an appealing blend of exposed brick and dark wood.

The place is owned by Nhat Nguyen, which explains the Asian flavors, but Latin influences are everywhere, too, thanks, in part, to a chef from Peru. You’ll find dishes like whole fried snapper with chili-tamarind sauce alongside arepas and sweet plaintain tart. This montage of cuisines yields an intriguing selection, with the dishes we sampled exhibiting intense, exciting flavors (at very fair prices).

A starter of Seafood Gazpacho ($6) was somewhat of a classic, with the chunky texture of blended tomatoes and cucumbers. A few grilled bay scallops and shrimp halves sat on top. The flavor was good, on the sweet side, with the slightest after-bite. More impressive, I found, were the Vietnamese Lemongrass Beef Wraps

($7), six tiny grape-leaf rolls filled with minced beef.

Each bite elicited a drop of oil onto the plate, revealing their fat-enhanced flavor. Best of all, they came with a dense, brown hoisin peanut dipping sauce that added a hearty bite and shavings of pickled radish and carrot.

A trio of arepas ($8), flat corn cakes with luscious toppings, was memorable. One was piled high with Cuban ground beef—hearty, salty and a bit tangy.

Another had a couple of beautifully fried shrimp laced with aoili, and the third had a creamy version of guacamole. It was a fabulous way to start the meal.

The Braised Short Ribs ($18) here took the dish to a different, and better, level. The rich meat sat on the plate surrounded by whipped buttery potatoes. On top of the meat was a medley of forest mushrooms—oh, the woody flavors!—wine-soaked pearl onions, meaty slabs of thick, well-browned bacon, and red wine jus. The flavors were a meat lover’s heaven and about as savory as it gets. A delicious horseradish cream was offered

alongside, which we enjoyed liberally.

On the lighter side (but not by much) was Barnegat Bay Scallops ($20), which had three of the large bivalves, beautifully seared, sitting on a lemon cream sauce accompanied by three gigantic risotto balls, also infused with lemon. Large batonettes of zucchini and carrot dotted the sauce, to yield an all-around delicious meal.

Perhaps the coup de grâce, though, was the Whole Fried Snapper ($20), beautifully presented upright surrounded by fragrant sofrito rice and sugar-roasted plantains. A sweet-chili tamarind sauce came with it, and all was the stuff of gourmand dreams. The fish had a thick, crisp coating and moist flesh—in the Chinese fried-fish tradition. The plantains were sweet and starchy, while the rice had plenty of fragrant cilantro.

Dessert, too, impressed. Called simply ‘crepe’ ($7), our selection had cooked apple chunks in a caramel sauce laced with Calvados.

It’s the perfect time to drive up the Great River Road under the kaleidoscopic canopy of sugar maples, hickory, oak and cottonwoods with picnics and wine in tow.

AHH ... FOOD & WINE Hearty soups, stews, risottos, and roasted meats and game are the fare of fall, thus the rosés and crisp whites of summer must yield to the richer fruit-forward reds and spicy aromatic whites with racing acidity and a touch of residual sugar.

Apple picking calls for crisp, acidic white wine with a touch of richness. Slow-roasted pork loin smothered in apple chutney can be paired with Chenin Blanc from Vouvray or South Africa (called Steen).

Winter squash is just about ready as the skins finish firming.

Spiced butternut or sugar pumpkin soup begs for Gewürztraminer from Alsace. Chili (I like mine with a touch of cocoa and the smoked heat of chipotle) pairs well with fruit-forward reds such as Rioja Reserva, Norton or a California ‘Rhone Ranger.’ Barbara d’Asti marries with grilled venison and cherry jus, or braised veal shank with a gorgonzola and sage polenta.

Whether you are hitting the field for a tailgate, the woods to camp out, or just enjoying a fall road trip, grab a proper bottle and enjoy all the brilliance autumn has to offer.

APRONOMICS MAX CRASK OF ICES PLAIN & FANCY ]

by stephanie zeilenga | photos by bill barrett

GOING TO THE ICE CREAM SHOP FOR A SCOOP OF SOMETHING SWEET is

a happy thing. And at Ices Plain & Fancy, which opened in 2014 in the Shaw neighborhood, whimsical pink and blue walls and ice cream made on the spot turn the experience into pure magic.

While you watch, ice cream is flash-frozen with liquid nitrogen at -321F and added to a line of stand mixers in which the ice cream base and toppings are mixed. The result is dramatic, akin to a bubbling witch’s cauldron. But the technique isn’t just for show—the process freezes the ice cream almost immediately, which results in an ethereally smooth, dense treat. “You’re guaranteed fresh ice cream because it’s made immediately and hasn’t been hanging around in the freezer,” says chef Max Crask, who opened Ices along with college pals Troika Brodsky, Matthew Deutschmann and sister Darla Crask.

The methods may sound modern, but the inspiration for Ices Plain & Fancy actually dates back to the Victorian era, specifically Agnes Bertha Marshall’s Ices Plain & Fancy: The Book of Ices, a book she wrote in 1885 that suggested using liquid nitrogen to create ice cream. As an homage to its culinary muse, Ices Plain & Fancy features a framed portrait of Marshall on the wall.

Besides the classics—chocolate, vanilla, mint chip and others dubbed its ‘nostalgia flavors’—Ices Plain & Fancy, which has cultivated relationships with local growers, also offers a rotating selection of seasonal concoctions. “I don’t like to run commodity fruit, because it doesn’t taste like anything and what grows in Missouri and Illinois is so intense with flavor,” Crask says.

So in early summer, you’ll find locally grown strawberries, followed by the season’s luscious berries, watermelon and even sweet corn. Seasonal treats this year included berries and cream and peach chai. “Summer is fun because of all the great produce that’s available,” Crask says. “We try to stay as local as we can, which is a fun challenge. We call winter our candy season because that’s when nothing’s really growing here, so you can let your imagination fly.”

Besides resulting in silky ice cream, liquid nitrogen has another benefit: it makes it easy and cost-efficient for Crask to experiment with flavors. “I don’t have to make huge batches to see if something’s going to work, and I can easily tweak recipes,” he says. One particularly innovative flavor was the Cluckin’ Hot, made with crispy chicken skin for Southern’s fried chicken festival in June. Another hit this summer used POPtions’ caramel cheddar Chicago-style popcorn to produce caramel ice cream topped with flash-frozen cheddar corn.

Adults can indulge in Ices’ boozy ice cream cocktails, including sweet twists on the Sazarac and the Old Fashioned, and the seriously delicious Ancho & Lefty, which combines chocolate ice cream, Ancho Reyes ancho chile liqueur, Aztec chocolate bitters, Ancho powder and cocoa nibs. “The freezing point of alcohol is much lower than the freezing point of water, and the liquid nitrogen allows us to freeze the alcohol itself,” Crask says. “This means we’re able to make what is essentially an actual cocktail with an ounce and a half or more of full-proof alcohol. With other alcoholic ice creams on the market, there might be only half a cup of bourbon in five whole gallons of ice cream.”

[ DRIVEN ] SUBARU LEGACY by robert w. paster

THE SUBARU LEGACY SEEMS TO BE THE RODNEY DANGERFIELD of mid-sized Japanese sedans.

Despite all its positive attributes, it just doesn’t seem to get the respect it deserves, at least not in this part of the country. In the northeast, Rocky Mountain and northwest climates, where allwheel-drive is just about a necessity, Subaru enjoys a well-deserved loyal following. Despite our relatively mild winters, the Legacy is an attractive alternative to and competitor with the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Mazda 6.

Although the Legacy’s styling isn’t going to win awards, it’s not going to offend anyone either.

Modern, if not futuristic, styling is echoed in the interior, which is refreshingly straightforward and subscribes to the ‘form follows function’ school of design. Everything seems well placed for driver and passenger interaction, and it’s not overly complicated.

What really sets the Legacy apart from its competitors is its all-wheel-drive platform. Not only does it provide unparalleled traction in wet and snowy conditions, but I’ve concluded it’s also the best handling platform on the track after driving front, rear and all-wheel-drive vehicles at Road America over the years. Vehicle dynamics control, a rear vision camera, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot detection and lane change assist all contribute to safety, but the most impressive feature is automatic braking, which detects solid objects in your way and automatically brakes for you if it senses you are going too fast to stop on your own before hitting something. This is truly groundbreaking technology, and as it spreads to other makes and models, should prevent millions of accidents and save lives.

With the 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed, 4-cylinder engine, power is only adequate and is not helped by the continuously variable transmission, despite its 6-speed mimicking paddle shifters.

The upside is excellent fuel economy. Handling, however, is above average, with good steering feel and decent brakes. If you need more power, a 256-horsepower, 3.6-liter, 6-cylinder boxer engine also is available, but if you want it, you have to get it with the most expensive trim level. Several upscale options are available for the Legacy, such as heated leather seats for both the front and rear passengers, dual automatic climate control, push button start, adaptive cruise control, navigation, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The ubiquitous screen interface in the center of the dash has welcome knobs for volume and tuning controls and hard buttons surrounding it, making it easy to go directly to the desired function. The rear seat has an astounding amount of leg room for a mid-sized car. The trunk is large, and the rear seat folds 60/40. The Legacy offers a lot of value, room, reliability and safety for the money.

Chris Johnson, sales consultant at Lou Fusz Subaru, brags, “It has more leg, head and trunk room than any of its competing two-wheel-drive cars, and it gets better gas mileage.”

A Man Called Ove 〉〉

There have been stories (humorous and otherwise) about the stereotypical grumpy old man who softens a little, thanks to a new friend or life-changing experience. Lucky for audiences, A Man Called Ove goes much deeper. The film, based on the international bestselling novel by Swedish author Fredrik Backman, tells a real story, albeit a much darker one. Ove (Rolf Lassgård) has a lot to be angry about: losing his mom at a young age, the tragic death of his father, feeling guilted into his job, and injustice from governmental authorities, aka the ‘whiteshirts.’ His wife, Sonja (Ida Engvoll), became his ultimate source of happiness, and after she passed, Ove saw nothing to live for. He continues his ‘job’ of making sure rules are followed and tries to keep to himself. But a couple and their two children who move in across the street open his eyes, and he surprisingly finds a connection with the boisterous, forceful mom, played by Bahar Pars. Yes, life can be tragic, but you can’t go it alone—or even choose to be miserable. Ove accepts love, and through his rare smiles, playful nature with the kids and willingness to once again engage with others, you realize he’s made the conscious decision to live the life he has left.

toward specializing in radiology during med school at Harvard. There was only one issue: general radiologists rarely deal directly with patients. She quickly learned breast imaging allowed her to have direct—and important—interaction with her patients. She was hooked. “During residency, what struck me was you had the chance to be present at an extremely important time in someone’s life, to deliver good or bad news,” says Bennett, director of breast imaging for SLUCare Physician Group. “At that moment, especially with bad news, you have one chance to make it better or make it worse for the patient. I wanted the chance to make it better.”

SLUCare breast radiologists specialize in breast imaging at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital and SSM Health St. Clare Hospital. Unlike hospitals where the radiologist might study a breast image in the morning and then a knee MRI in the afternoon, the SLUCare team devotes its time entirely to mammography. “We feel lucky and grateful to specialize,” says Bennett, who is also the medical director for SSM Health St. Louis breast imaging. “It allows us to focus all our time and energy on each mammogram, as well as on the latest advances in the industry,” she says. “I work with awesome women who bring a great mix of training and experience to our division. We have seen a lot of different cancers so we know what we’re looking for. We all get along very well, which is rare in any field. And it is great to have a second set of eyes for a certain image or to talk a challenging case through with each other.”

St. Louis native Kathleen Kelly cannot think of a better place to be tested. She has had three siblings die of cancer and two others diagnosed with it. She herself has undergone two biopsies, and she has regular breast exams and mammograms, all at SLUCare’s breast center. “I wanted to go to the place that had the most qualified professionals to get the best care I could,” Kelly says.

“Early detection can mean the difference between life and death. I find the doctors there very professional, upbeat and friendly. It’s uncomfortable every time you have to have these types of tests, but they could not be nicer.”

Bennett understands anxiety is present each time a patient arrives, even for a routine mammogram. When a biopsy is required, that anxiety is heightened. Communication with the patients is critical throughout the process. “I think that is sort of the crux of everything we do,” Bennett says. “We always have to remember that whether we are physically in front of a patient or not, there is a patient. This is not just about a picture. Patients pick up on everything we do, verbal or nonverbal. It’s very important that we get across the information and be honest, but also empathetic. We need to know where they are coming from so we can meet them where they are most comfortable.”

BREAST

HEALTH

BY RICK STOFF

DESPITE RECENT DISCUSSION ABOUT WHO SHOULD GET MAMMOGRAMS AND HOW OFTEN WOMEN NEED THEM, BREAST IMAGING SAVES LIVES. BEYOND THAT, PATIENTS NEED TO DECIDE WHERE TO GET THEIR MAMMOGRAMS AND WHAT TYPE IS NECESSARY FOR THEM. THAT'S WHERE THE EXPERT OPINIONS COME IN.

Imaging Update

Scary Stats

“We can pick up cancer on a mammogram as early as two years before it can be felt,” says Dr. Cara E. Hahs, breast surgeon at Mercy Breast Surgery Clinic. “We know that mammograms save lives— that is well-documented.” Do we really need more convincing than that?

One in eight American women will develop breast cancer, and nearly one-third of female cancers is in the breasts.

Sobering statistics. The good news is that the mortality rate for breast cancer in the U.S. has declined by about a third since 1975. Yet conflicting guidelines have women questioning their options.

“Confusing guidelines have been reported,” says Dr. Catherine M. Appleton, chief of breast imaging in the division of diagnostic radiology at Washington University School of Medicine and Siteman Cancer Center.

“We know that if we can catch breast cancer at an early stage, primarily defined as when it is confined to the breast tissue, it is much more treatable and people have a better prognosis,” says Mercy’s Hahs.

Mammography vs. Tomosynthesis

“The other hot topic is the three-dimensional mammogram, which is called tomosynthesis,” Hahs says. Both 2-D and 3-D images can find cancer when it is in the form of calcifications,

which are almost like grains of sand, Appleton says. “That is a victory for mammography because those cancers are not invasive yet.”

But tomosynthesis, 3-D imaging, magnifies the clarity of the examination, creating images of all breast tissues as seen from one view—somewhat like peering through all the pages of a closed book at one time, Appleton explains. “With tomosynthesis, we create a volume of data. We literally can page through the breast in 1-millimeter slices (a millimeter is thinner than a dime).”

There’s no question that 3-D imaging exposes abnormalities that couldn’t be seen before, Appleton says. And it minimizes the need for call-back exams. “Women with dense breasts are good candidates for tomosynthesis mammograms,” Hahs adds. “Insurance companies vary on what they will pay for.

Some are completely on board and some are not.”

Other Factors

“I would like women to ask about the technology that is

being offered to them and also about who is reading the mammogram,” Appleton says. “Having a radiologist who specializes in breast imaging arguably is going to improve interpretation.” Training for radiology requires five years beyond medical school, she says, and “then becoming subspecialized in breast imaging is an additional year of training.

We are behind the scenes, but what we do is important for patients.”

There are other abnormalities that can be better detected with 3-D imaging, namely ‘architectural distortion,’ a medical way of saying the tissue pattern in the breast looks different than it should, explains Dr. Debbie Bennett, SLUCare breast radiologist and director of breast imaging for SSM Health at Saint Louis University Hospital.

And last, but not least, it’s important to remember that breast cancer is very treatable, Hahs says. “More than 95 percent of women who are diagnosed in an early stage, through something found on a mammogram, are alive and disease-free five years later.”

Evolving Technology

We in St. Louis are fortunate to live in a medical mecca. With top-ranked medical centers, we have access to the latest in diagnosis and treatment. This not only saves lives, but also reduces anxiety and improves quality of life.

High-Tech The most comprehensive form of breast imagery is the 3-D variety, which uses ultrasound to detect abnormalities that are still tiny specks or hidden in dense tissue. “Tomosynthesis allows us to see multiple slices through the tissue,” says Dr. Deborah Wadsworth, a radiologist at The Breast Center at Mercy Hospital. “A 2-D image (the typical 2-D mammogram) can miss a lot of details. Three-dimensional imaging is like flying through this very dense forest and seeing every tree. We can take the computer mouse and scroll back and forth and around the image.”

In August, SSM Health and Saint Louis University Hospital became the first breast center in the U.S. to offer technology that provides 3-D-guided breast biopsies for patients in a prone position. It’s a procedure approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April called Affirm Prone Biopsy System.

Previous equipment required that patients sit upright while undergoing a needle biopsy guided by 3-D mammography, explains Dr. Debbie Bennett, director of breast imaging for SSM Health at Saint Louis University Hospital. “It is problematic to do a biopsy that way because even if you close your eyes or turn your head, it is very difficult not to peek down and see what is happening.” She reports that patients sometimes passed out during the procedure.

Improvements All Around

The Affirm imaging and biopsy process offers women a much less invasive and intimidating option. The equipment is based under a padded table with an opening in the middle.

“The woman positions her breasts and a needle biopsy is done through the skin under local anesthesia,” Bennett says.

Breast Cancer Reconstruction Breast cancer sometimes brings with it a host of new and different issues when a woman loses a breast (or both of them) to the disease. Should reconstruction be planned at the time of removal? If so, how should it be done? If not, what is the alternative plan?

First Things First

The first decision is whether to do a reconstruction at all, says Dr. Terry Myckatyn, a surgeon at West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University. “Every woman needs to weigh her biases, goals and priorities with her medical situation—the type of cancer she has, her body and her shape.

It is a very complex decision.”

Women often delay reconstruction until they have healed from the initial surgery, but sometimes it is advantageous to perform some or all of a reconstruction during the first trip to the operating room, Myckatyn says.

About 40 percent of women across the U.S. choose reconstruction after a mastectomy, Myckatyn notes. “At Siteman Cancer Center, the rate is 60 to 70 percent. I think breast reconstruction is under-offered in rural settings because of difficulty with scheduling, lack of a plastic surgeon or knowledge by the provider, or lack of insurance reimbursement.” He adds, though, that reconstruction following cancer surgery “is covered by insurance by law.”

Implants vs. Native Tissue

“We can use implants or the woman’s own tissue,” Myckatyn says. “More women get implants because the operation is less invasive, but there are several good reasons to use your own tissue.” For one thing, artificial implants are more prone to infections, can prompt development of scar tissue and may leak. “They are good devices but eventually, they will fail,” Myckatyn says. If the patien’ts own tissue is used, it comes from another part of the body, like the belly, back, inner thigh or buttocks.

The procedure now used to harvest tissue, the DIEP flap, requires less recovery time than the previous procedure because it does not remove muscle, Myckatyn says. “It is very similar to the tissue removal for a tummy tuck. There still can be some abdominal weakness, but there tends to be less.”

Different Cancers, Different Options

Reconstruction options can vary depending on the form of breast cancer: mastectomy (removal of all breast tissue) or lumpectomy (removal of the tumor and some portion of breast tissue). “We prefer to do surgery at the same time as a lumpectomy if we can,” Myckatyn says. “Almost everybody who has a lumpectomy gets radiation. We can still do surgery after radiation, but it tends to be a bit more complicated and there is increased risk of a wound problem or infection.”

Mastectomy reconstruction options depend on the required surgical procedure and the woman’s physical shape and health, he says. “More often these days, we are doing a nipple-sparing mastectomy. It makes the reconstruction much prettier and sometimes we can put in an implant right away.”

The good news is in nearly all cases, women who have breast reconstruction can expect to look ‘normal’ afterward.

“We take a few little samples. You essentially get a Band-Aid, a little bit of surgical glue and no stitches.” Affirm is not used for everything because ultrasound-guided biopsies are better under certain conditions.

The Mercy Breast Center received a new 3-D ultrasound machine in September, which is much improved over earlier generations of ultrasound. “It performs an examination of the entire breast and is automated,” Wadsworth explains. “A few years ago the computer algorithms weren’t ready. It is starting to hit its stride.”

Ultrasound is the mode of choice for women with dense breasts, she says. “They have glandular tissue that obscures smaller tumors on the (X-ray) mammogram. We are better able to see some tumors on ultrasound and other tumors with mammography.”

The ultrasound examination is rated by some women as less uncomfortable, as well, Wadsworth reports. “For the 3-D ultrasound, patients lie on their back, and a curved paddle is placed on the breast in three positions, then a wand goes over the breast,” she explains. “It’s more like an intensive massage.”

Success Rates

Both 3-D ultrasound imaging and X-ray mammograms detect tumors at about the same rate, Wadsworth notes. “The hope is that as we increase our detection rate, we will pick up cancers before they get larger and are palpable.” And there’s more good news for breast cancer patients, according to Bennett.

“Technology over the past 10 years has gotten so much better that the percentage of cancers detected at an early stage is already very high,” she says.

CORNERED BY BEAUTY

BY KARYN WILLIAMS | PHOTOS BY SUZY GORMAN

The home of James Weske and his husband Dan Davis has a lot of history within its walls (not too surprising as it’s been around since 1900). The cornerstone house on a well-known street in the Central West End, it’s flagged by many neighbors and onlookers as the prettiest on the block. Previous owners include community leaders and hosts to memorable parties.

The couple hopes to make their own contribution to its legacy.

With two children, two dogs and creative ideas flowing, that should happen quite naturally.

T&S | How long have you been in the house?

James Weske | We’ve been here two years. This is the first house Dan and I bought together.

I’m originally from St. Louis but just moved back seven years ago, and he’s lived in the CWE primarily for the past 20-plus years. He was in his previous home for 17 years. I moved in, we had our son there and then knew we needed more space for our second child. We looked for three years before finding this one. A lot of homes in this area are project homes, and many we found were gorgeous on the outside but needed major interior work.

T&S | Were you not looking for a project?

JW | We had updated Dan’s house in order to sell it, so we were done with projects. Plus, we had two children, so we wanted something that was move-in ready. This was the first house we found that was! It was much more space than we wanted or needed (our house and yard tripled in size from our previous home), but we loved it. It’s a totally different style from the last, which was a Dutch Tudor with loads of natural woodwork. When previous owners did a gut rehab, they painted the woodwork white, which is what I was looking for; it gives it a much more contemporary feel.

T&S | Anything else on your ‘must-have’ list?

JW | We wanted a safe environment where our kids could run around, and we needed a bigger yard. Another big requirement was good space for entertaining—not just for hosting parties (which we love to do), but also for house guests.

Our families are spread out from California to Georgia and lots of places in between, so we love having enough room to host everyone for the holidays.

T&S | Do you like your new neighborhood?

JW | We love it! It’s much more of a community feel here. We were in an odd place before because we were in the heart of the business district and the first house that wasn’t a storefront. A parking lot separated us from the rest of the houses. Now, we can’t walk to dinner without stopping six or seven times to talk to people! ››

T&S | You have a background in interior design. Did you spearhead the decorating process?

JW | I switched my focus to design when I lived out in California and was tired of the singing/acting scene. It’s amazing how much of our furniture fit into this house since it’s much more opulent and elegant than our old one. We had to buy a few pieces, but for the most part, it was neat placing what we already had. As a designer, it’s been a challenge melding our two styles; a lot of things in the house now aren’t what I would normally choose. Dan likes the vintage French posters and brought them from the other home, so we made them work.

T&S | Any piece you really love?

JW | I got into design by designing custom pieces for top furniture designers in California like Kelly Wearstler and Jeffrey Alan Marks.

When I moved back to St. Louis, I designed our first bed and had someone in St. Louis build it. It has great detail.

T&S | Tell me about the large glass cabinets in the kitchen.

JW | Before the rehab, the kitchen was two rooms and a hallway. It was opened up to one large space with an island, and one side is the butler’s pantry with the extra-tall glass cabinets. That space is original to the house. The cabinets hold Dan’s glass collection, which is kind of a hodgepodge of pieces.

T&S | Tell me about your outdoor space.

JW | We have a large, wraparound front porch that has a lot of history.

Anyone passing by was welcome to join. He and his wife would meet on the porch with fellow advocates Charles and Marian Oldham, who lived a couple houses down and I’ve been told were the first interracial couple on the street. The backyard is really nice, and we redid the landscaping to make it look more organic instead of angular like it was. We were the first owners to put a fence up since the house was built in 1900, but I designed it to make sure it went with the house.

James enjoys spending time with his daughter in her room.

T&S | Do you have a favorite room?

JW | We use the entire house. We repainted every room except the foyer on the first floor to make everything lighter, and I chose a Georgian silver/blue for the living room. It’s one of my favorite spaces because the color is so relaxing, and it’s where we watch TV, put our Christmas tree and hang out as a family. And I love our daughter’s room, just being in there with her.

[DESIGN on my mind by alan e. brainerd

trading tips: how to buy at auction

In today’s society of big box stores that pretend to dictate what good design is, I offer a marvelous alternative: buying at auction. I personally have been purchasing items for myself and clients for the past 35 years in various auction houses here in St. Louis and New York.

It has been my experience that people can buy much smarter, from a quality standpoint, at auction than they ever could buy at a national retail establishment. You ask how is that possible? Here are some tips for the novice auction attendee.

The first thing is to secure a catalog for the next auction from the auction house of your choice. St. Louis has no fewer than three nationally recognized ones. Depending on the auction house, there may be a nominal fee. You also can subscribe to the catalogs and they will be sent to you when available. Most auction houses publish the catalog several weeks before a scheduled sale, and it’s very detailed, including photos, a description of each item and an estimated price. Understand that this is only an estimate; oftentimes the item goes well above that estimate or, to the buyer’s delight, sometimes well below the estimate. I have purchased PHOTO COURTESY OF LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS both below and above the estimated price. If you are bidding on items from an important estate, chances are that most will go above estimate. When I attended the Lilly Pulitzer sale in Palm Beach a few years back, it was worth it to me to pay a premium. If the item doesn’t have a provenance, you might not want to.

The public is encouraged, yes encouraged, to visit the auction house the week before the auction date to actually inspect the items listed for sale. That means that you, John Q. Public, can touch, feel and examine the items that have caught your fancy. This is a wise thing to do so you don’t buy a vase that has a hairline crack in it you didn’t notice in the photo, for example. As in any purchase, buyer beware.

Then, attend the auction! These can be very exciting, and it is a study in sociology to watch other people bid on items and wonder why they find certain ones so interesting. You may bid online for most auctions as well, but most of the fun is attending the actual sale. You sign in at the front desk, get your paddle and voila, you are on your way to buying your next treasure.

A word of advice from one who knows: set limits in advance. It is very easy to get caught up in the excitement and bid past a number that you are comfortable with. Remember, there always will be another auction. It is also important to remember that auction houses charge a buyer’s premium that can range from 18 to 25 percent on the total of your bid. Try to keep that number in mind when you set your limit.

Hope to see you at a local auction or one in Palm Beach or New York … happy bidding!

ATTENTION TO DETAIL: The French term that is generally used for these

decorative additions to your furnishings, draperies and fabric accoutrements is passementerie. While I always have tried to incorporate these added touches to projects, they seem to be more popular now than ever. Clothing designers are using them to add interest and detail to the most simple of frocks.

In the interior design world, there isn’t much that can’t be embellished by a tape or trim: bedding, walls, lampshades, throws, pillows, towels and upholstery are all fair game for these woven wonders.

Recently, a very dear client gifted me with a very special item: an antique wooden mold that was used to make tape trims and tassels. It actually had two samples attached of the pattern that could be created with this particular mold.

tapes and trims

The Guild of Passementiers was created in France in the 16th century. (Think Louis any number and it is easy to understand.) The French took this art very seriously, since at that time only the wealthy could afford such luxuries. Keep in mind that this was the early days of overstuffed upholstery and opulent drapery treatments. Also, this form of decoration was widely used on royal wardrobes.

It took seven years of service in apprenticeship to become a master passementier. The primary item they focused on were tassels, but fringes, pompoms, rosettes and gimps also were produced for the decoration of furnishings. Just like faucets are jewelry for the bathroom, passementerie is jewelry for all the other rooms. Remember it’s all about attention to detail.

TIMELESS: THE BERGERE CHAIR

Since I’ve been on French topics lately, let’s consider a certain chair: the bergere chair, which is one of the most beautifully designed and utilitarian in the history of interior design. That is, in my humble opinion.

Beginning during the Regence period (1715-1723), this chair continued to evolve and maintain its popularity through the Rococo, Louis XVI, Directoire, and French and American Empire styles. The deep armchair often was referred to in the mid-18th century as the ‘shepherdess chair’ because in many ways it resembled the wing chair from the late 17th century, only with smaller ‘wings.’

The exposed frame around its upholstered back adds a defining beauty to this chair. Carved or molded wood that can be stained, painted or gilded offers an array of looks to dress up or dress down this rather formal chair. Even with its formal appearance, it is extremely comfortable for most body types. It actually was designed for comfort, with a deeper seat than its father, the fauteuil. And it was the precursor of today’s club chair.

If you place an ottoman in front of these chairs, I would argue they are more comfortable than, dare I say it? A recliner! Not only is a bergere more comfortable, but it's also more interesting, certainly from a design perspective.

Even today, the bergere is still popular and can be interpreted for contemporary interiors. If it was good enough for a Louis, it is good enough for us!

when she downsizes. That is where her family spent most of its time on Portland Drive, especially after she doubled its size eight years ago. “My favorite part of the whole house is the kitchen area,” she says. “It has the granite countertop island, which is where the kids did their homework. I could cook and talk with them. From a family perspective, everybody could hang out there.”

One of the first parties she held after remodeling the kitchen was a pizza party with her friends.

They all made homemade pizzas, and everyone had plenty of room to spread out and roll their own dough. “You can have a lot of people in the house and still have room to serve and entertain,” Birnbaum says.

For 22 years, the family built memories on Portland Drive. They bought the house when Birnbaum was pregnant with her second child. When she was pregnant with her third child, they added the second story to what was originally a ranch-style house. The six-bedroom home in Frontenac has three bathrooms, along with a bedroom and full bath in the basement. “The kids played ping pong down there and hung out with friends a lot,” she says. “The bedroom was where my stepson lived when he was home from college. We used it as a study and play area as well.”

As soon as it was warm enough, the kids moved from the basement to the backyard pool. “The pool is right next to the kitchen, and when we expanded the kitchen, we also expanded the deck area,” she says. “The kids had more space to hang out and entertain. We had a lot of outdoor pool parties. That was one of the reasons they loved it when they were little. And for me, it was easy, and I could keep an eye on them.”

Most of the back of the house is windows, which look out onto the backyard. “I never put curtains up because I felt it made the house dark,” Birnbaum says. “I liked feeling like we were both inside and outside.”

HOMEWORK]

DEAR HOMEWORK,

Our 1976 home has many great features, but it lacks something very important to us: a welcoming front porch for sitting and chatting that also provides cover from rain. Could you please suggest a way to add a front porch that is compatible with the style of our home?

Looking forward to your sound advice!

PORCHLESS IN WEBSTER GROVES

DEAR PORCHLESS IN WEBSTER GROVES,

Your home features the unconvincing Tudor styling typical of ’70s-era homes. Your desire for a suitable front porch could be the jumping off point for a total refresh.

I would first observe that the house is too symmetrical to be a ‘good Tudor.’ The request for a porch allows for a new projectioning element to disguise the symmetry of the existing central element. The new stained wood porch has two parts: an arched area at the front door and a larger area off to the side to allow for a comfortable grouping of furniture. Turning the dining room windows into French doors further helps break down the symmetry.

The similar, though different sized wings also are differentiated from each other with minor architectural changes. The larger section gets a box bay window and an attic window, while the smaller one gets a window flower box.

Also note that the colors of the house have been rethought. A beige wash has been put over the orange brick, and the half-timbering has been painted khaki brown. The shutters are now a soft green. The new front door is a dark stained wood tone, and the diamond paired window grills have been replaced for a less dated look. A more contiguous landscape scheme and new, curving exposed aggregate concrete walk further underscore the more authentic, Tudor façade.

Hope this is helpful, —HOMEWORK

Winter Squash a fun food!

Fire up the ovens and sharpen the kitchen tools: squash season is finally upon us. In my opinion, winter squashes, those with hard outer edges like pumpkin, butternut, spaghetti and acorn, are the best bang for your buck.

They’re inexpensive, easy to grow, keep for a long time in your cabinet, and on top of all that, one hefty, fibrous winter squash feeds a crowd.

The Logistics Winter squash can seem unapproachable, but all you really need is a sharp knife and a little tenacity. I usually chop one in half (or quarter it for pumpkins), place on a pan and roast until soft and sweet. You don’t even need to peel them because once they’re fully cooked, the skin and seeds are easy to remove. Chef Scott Rains of Table 28 in Little Rock, Arkansas, frequently uses organic produce from my Moss Mountain Farm and offers the following tips for winter squash selection and storage.

Town and Country | $575,000 4 Bedrooms | 2 Full and 1 Half Baths

Featured Clayton agent gretChen adams 314-852-5537

Cooking With Squash ◗ Clip all squash at least 1 to 2 inches above the actual vegetable. “I find if the stem is cut any shorter, it won’t last as long,” Rains says. Then store at room temperature, about 60 degrees, and they will last for months, up to half a year! ◗ Roast squash before using to bring out its natural sweetness. ◗ Try using spaghetti squash in lieu of noodles. Roast first, open and remove the spaghetti-like strands with a fork. Can be served with tomato sauce and meatballs on the side or tossed in a little butter or olive oil and salt. “It’s out of this world, and very healthy, too,” according to Rains.
