from the editor's desk I recently attended the Fashion Visionaries Luncheon, where the guest speaker was Soft Surroundings president Tara Ellef. It’s never easy to leave the office in the middle of a workday—especially when the destination is the Washington University campus. Navigating that place can be pretty tricky.

(Did they have to make Knight Center segue right into Bauer Hall and then into McMillan Hall, without so much as a wall sign indicating where you are?)

And of course there’s the parking in Millbrook Garage: so many levels, so little logic. It always reminds me of the old M.T.A. song about the man who never returned. I wandered around so long trying to find my car, it’s a good thing I had a swag bag that could knock an assailant right out, if the need arose. (What? No self-respecting journalist would leave all those free Knight Center notepads just sitting there.)

Anyway, back to the business of Soft Surroundings. I’ve always marveled at the success of this hometown store; ours, at 33 The Boulevard in Richmond Heights, was the very first one! It was born and bred in St. Louis, and now there are about 43-and-counting stores nationwide. Hearing its president speak, I finally understood the rationale behind a place that offers, all in the same time and space: PJs, face cream, comfortable jeans, lace camisoles and table lamps. I always thought the emphasis was on ‘soft,’ but it’s actually on ‘surroundings.’ It’s a place that allows you—no, encourages you—to surround yourself with comfort. I can buy that. Apparently, so do a lot of other women.

students are learning some very valuable things. Their new cafe—Cup of Joe—opened recently and is teaching students, in real time, the nuts and bolts of business management. Overseen by business teacher Megan Hackmann, a group of 11 student managers runs the cafe, organizing shifts, ordering stock, handling budgets and anything else that’s required in the daily operation of a coffee shop.

“We wanted this to be a true, student-run enterprise,” says Hackmann, who has taught a class in entrepreneurship for the last seven years.

Hackmann says start-up funds for the cafe came from the school’s yearly raffle, which usually raises capital for “less glamorous things” like chapel roof repairs. “We wanted to use the money for something the students would feel excited about,” she explains, adding that the project also received a donation from a school family. Cup of Joe partners with Kaldi’s Coffee, which provides the beans and syrups, and trained the girls at its midtown Kaldi Roastery in the summer.

Kaylen Rice, a junior, is one of the managers who attended the training and got a behind-thescenes look at the St. Louis coffee company. She captures the benefits of this entrepreneurial program for St. Joe’s girls. “It’s so exciting to realize that I am actually helping to run a real business,” Rice says, adding that she also is a “huge coffee drinker.” There’s so much interest among the students that the 11 managers have interviewed and hired 10 more girls to help out. “This is hands-on learning in action,” Hackmann says. “Interviewing, cash handling, advertising, inventory control: they’re doing it all.”

In addition to acquiring general business skills, the students are thinking philanthropically, researching organizations they’d like to support when the time comes to cut a check from profits.

Hackmann says some of the profits eventually will provide scholarships. Cup of Joe takes in about $350 on a busy day, Rice reports. But initial costs—which, of course, included the purchase of a hefty espresso machine—were high.

The coffee shop was fashioned from an existing space that had served as a senior hangout. “It feels very coffee bar-ish,” Hackmann says. “Gray and green for school colors, stools, tables and comfy chairs.” And the bill of fare is very similar to any Kaldi’s around town—espresso drinks, frappes and fruit smoothies. “It’s nice because the whole school now smells of coffee,” Hackmann says. Cup of Joe is open before and after school, and on special occasions.

While Hackmann says they do serve decaf, there’s not much demand for it among the student body. “That’s for us teachers,” she says. “The hard stuff’s for the kids!”

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

Last week, Creve Coeur unveiled the city’s first ‘rotating’ sculpture: Streamlines by Ali Baudoin of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The abstract metal piece will be on display for up to three years, after which it will be replaced by a new sculpture. The installation is the first in a series as part of a new Creve Coeur initiative to bring temporary art to public spaces. The city’s Arts Committee unveiled the piece in front of the Shoppes at Westgate at Olive Boulevard and Tempo Drive Oct. 19. In consideration of a site plan development proposal, the property owner offered to work with the committee to provide a location for the display. The committee serves as curator for the city’s public art collection, works to obtain funding for art-related projects, and advises the city on all matters relating to cultural arts.

A disturbing retail trend began a few Novembers ago: shopping on Thanksgiving Day. Rather than intensifying this year by opening even earlier in the day, at least four shopping malls in the metro are dialing it back. These will be closed all day Thursday, Nov. 24: West County Center in Des Peres, South County Center in Lemay, Mid Rivers Mall in St. Peters and St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights, Illinois. Good for them, and good for those of us who can wait just a few more hours for those door busters on the traditional first day of the holiday shopping season—Black Friday. And good for mall employees who are about to embark on a season that already has them working late on Christmas Eve. They weren’t exactly full of holiday cheer when the season was jump-started on Thanksgiving Day, robbing them of priceless time with family and friends. Before this new, saner move, I was beginning to wonder whether you’d be able to get a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings in the food court. Alas, this year there will be holdouts: both outlet malls in Chesterfield Valley will open late on Thanksgiving night. At this writing, details about holiday hours for the Galleria in Richmond Heights and Chesterfield Mall had yet to be disclosed. I worked at Brooks Brothers in Premium Outlets with associates who stayed overnight on two Thanksgivings. Customers in the wee hours are … crabby. And employees are … delirious. Well, they’re really tired. Some even went home for a few hours to nap before returning for the store’s closing late on the evening of Black Friday!

In light of all the creepy clown activity purported to continue here, there and everywhere, Ronald McDonald has gone deep undercover in Kirkwood, the metro and nationwide. The corporation has curtailed the activities of the talented young men who appear as the fast-food chain’s clown in dozens of markets. I knew a fellow who played Ronald for St. Louis; it was his full-time job. Before taking the gig, he

had honed his expertise as a magician. He was quite good and fascinated kids and their parents at every turn.

But was he creepy? Underneath the white greasepaint, who knew? That’s the problem with folks who have at least a touch of coulrophobia (an irrational fear of clowns; yes, it’s a real thing). Bona fide evil clowns, such as Pennywise from Stephen King’s It, haven’t helped matters in recent years. Well, let’s hope Ronald’s hiatus isn’t for too long. For one thing, it would break Willard Scott’s heart. At any rate, for the time being, the only glimpse you’ll get of the cheerful clown is, perhaps, a statue of him here or there in front of a fast food restaurant.

Looks like The Boulevard in Richmond Heights may be expanding to the south ... finally. Two phases of development were originally planned for the ‘mixed use’ complex of retail, restaurant and residence that opened 12 years ago, but that stalled when the Great Recession gripped the economy in the late ’aughts.

The charming center with the flavor of, dare we say, a European village has butted up to quite the eysore to its

This is happening thanks to Kranzberg Arts Foundation, which continues its mission to invest in the infrastructure and systems needed to support local artists and community arts organizations.

The first and fourth floors of the 40,000-square-foot space at 3224 Locust St. are now complete and open, and the remaining floors will be fully finished and move-in ready in early 2017. The floors will contain: 1. Grand lobby with box office; 200-seat theater with flexible seating (shared by resident performing arts incubator organizations); 150-capacity restaurant and event space that will be the new home of Turn by chef David Kirkland (opening early 2017) 2.

south: a surface parking lot with the occasional heretoday, gone-tomorrow types of businesses that have included a mattress store, a discount shoe place, and vendors of seasonal holiday trimmings. The wheels of municipal government have started turning again for what could be a $79 million project, including TIF monies. Reportedly, no new stores have raised their hands as of yet, but we surmise it will stay classy.

Current restaurants include the excellent Maggiano’s and our first P.F. Chang’s China Bistro location. A decision by the city is expected for early next year.

Urban Dictionary defines ‘zack’ as: ‘Perfect in all aspects of life. Amazingly talented … beyond belief.’ That is an apt description for .ZACK, a multipurpose arts venue nearing completion in Grand Center’s historic Cadillac Building. .ZACK’s four floors will house an incubator for the performing arts, an arts-

house Sophie’s Music Lounge and Music Record Shop; Performing Arts Incubator home, including co-op office/collaboration space, conference rooms, scene and paint shop shared by nine resident organizations 3. Mixed-use office space with four commercial

suites, three of them already leased 4. Now booking events, a 5,000-square-foot

ballroom/event space with capacity for 200 (seated) or 300 (standing), full bar, on-site catering, picturesque views of downtown, local fine art, and a private spa/dressing room suite … with sauna, rain shower, open tub and seating for preevent preparation—plus, we’d wager, post-event relaxation.

Otherwise, the ballroom may serve as additional rehearsal space for resident arts organizations.

Incubator resident organizations are expected to begin hosting performances in November. Cinema St. Louis also plans to use the space for part of the St. Louis International Film Festival. But why .ZACK? That’s his name, i.e., the grandson of Kenneth and Nancy Kranzberg, who are among the metro’s most generous and tireless arts patrons.

Chicago commercial real estate giant Cushman & Wakefield, which already has about 900 workers in the metro, reportedly plans to beef up its presence here with about 600 additional employees, most of them to be located in Town & Country. With that number of new jobs projected, the company’s influx of about $17 million has Gov. Jay Nixon pumped; the move will qualify Cushman for incentives from the state. Cushman will consolidate its office here for the property client accounting group, among other services, which have national and international entities as clients. Last year, C&W was purchased for $2 billion by Chitown-based firm DTZ. Keeping the Cushman & Wakefield name, the company now boasts about 43,000 employees globally and $5 billion in revenue. Talk about an 800-pound gorilla!

Aha, lookit! Why, there’s a whimsical wooden sculpture of a squirrel holding an acorn, perched atop the stump it originally was carved from … with a

chainsaw. Closer inspection reveals that the artwork is succumbing to the elements and nature’s, um, natural influence. The head is cracked and a section of the ‘bushy’ tail has disappeared, with chunks of it scattered around the bug-infested base. The squirrel is one of two charming, repurposed wooden features along the grassy, tree-shaded median separating the north- and southbound sections of Oakbrook Lane in western U. City, between Cornell and Stanford avenues. The other is a bench made from a length of tree trunk, maybe from the same felled mighty oak, if the acorn is any indication of where the wood came from. They’ve both seen better days because the wood is exposed to all four seasons and rotting as vigorously as it would out in the woods. For anyone who is fond of their chainsawcarved giraffe, bear or other critter carved from the tallish stump of a tree that had to be removed for one reason or another, a word to the wise … varnish. But time marches on. Compared to bronze or marble, these sculptures will last about as long as a snowman.

Considering a prenuptial agreement

Stange Law Firm, PC

Many couples intending to marry begin planning for their future together in advance. In addition to planning an actual wedding ceremony and celebration, some choose to address certain issues pertaining to personal assets and future marital property. For various reasons, some determine that signing a prenuptial agreement is the best way to document separate property and establish procedures for issues that may arise in the future.

By signing a formal agreement before marriage, an intended spouse can sometimes avoid lengthy court battles concerning property distribution should a future situation bring forth a

need to address the issue. In light of the fact that not all marriages last a lifetime, many believe that conflicts in divorce may be avoided if a plan has already been set in place regarding assets and property distribution. Sometimes, it is possible to limit debt liability by assigning credit card debt, mortgage loans or other outstanding financial expenses to a particular spouse.

Some say discussing such matters before marriage puts a damper on a relationship; however, some data suggests that when a divorce does occur, complications often arise concerning finances. Discussing such issues ahead of time and developing a plan of action may help prevent disagreements further down the line. Some couples choose to wait until after they are married to sign contracts regarding assets, property and debt liability.

Whether a couple chooses to sign a prenuptial or a postnuptial agreement, it is advisable to seek guidance from a family law attorney ahead of time because the laws pertaining to each type of agreement are different.

For instance, if a couple wishes to address child-related matters, such issues cannot generally be included in a prenuptial agreement. Anyone with questions regarding such matters can obtain answers during a consultation with an experienced attorney in the area.

If you are going through a divorce, Stange Law Firm, PC can help. We have lawyers available to help you in your case.

When you retain our firm, you will receive access to your case through Your Case Tracker in addition to receiving your lawyer’s personal cell phone number. Call today to schedule your confidential consultation.

PATTY d e h s a e unl

BY PATTY HANNUM

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

by dorothy weiner

THIS IS THE STORY, A TRUE STORY, about a

woman, her hair and the lessons she learned when she decided to make ‘a change.’ Let this be a warning.

First, you need to know I read lots and lots of magazines. Too many, really, because they often lead me down the path of trying new products, fitness programs and fashion crazes. Anyone remember the Shake Weight? Abdomenizer? Ponchos? You get my point. I recently read in one of my fashion magazines that ‘rose gold’ was a new trend in hair color. That’s all it took for me to convince my stylist that I wanted to dye my hair back to its original color, strawberry blonde—but with streaks of rose gold.

My stylist, who has known me forever, confirmed my choice by showing me a picture on her iPad of what it would look like. Yes, that’s what I wanted, I assured her; do it! And while you’re at it, cut it short! As I left the salon, I was a little unsure but when my husband noticed my hair was different and he liked it, I thought I had made the right choice. He usually doesn’t notice stuff like that. Things began to unravel when I woke up the next morning and looked in the bathroom mirror and thought, ‘OMG! WHAT HAVE I DONE?’ I needed someone to talk me off the edge. So photos were snapped and sent to my daughter.

Her response was ‘Mooooooooom, what were you thinking?’ That was not the ‘way to take a chance’ response I was hoping for. I had to make a quick decision, though, since I was heading to Chicago for a girls’ weekend in an hour. Should I pretend to be sick and not go? Or go to Chicago and not worry about my hair? I sent a text to my girlfriends warning them to expect a change, then packed my bags. I’m probably overreacting, I thought. Wrong.

As I walked to the car, my two friends popped out to survey the new ‘do. This was not just a casual look; it was an examination. I explained my hair was ‘rose gold.’ I could tell by their faces I’d made a huge mistake. Actually, it was their laughter that gave it away. Oh, they loved the cut but they kept referring to my hair as ‘pink’ instead of rose gold. Halfway to Chicago I called my stylist and explained I was feeling a lot like a Strawberry Shortcake doll and asked if there was any way I could get the rose gold/pink out of my hair. She suggested Dawn dish detergent. A quick trip to the grocery store and some time under the sink did tone down the color, even though it was now uneven and blotchy.

Once back in St. Louis, my stylist performed a color correction. Rose gold is no longer part of my vocabulary, or my hair. Lessons learned: 1. Don’t take hair color advice from anyone but your stylist. 2.

Hearing your hair is ‘not horrifying’ is not a compliment.

3. Having a husband who tells you your hair looks amazing could be a desperate measure to prevent tears. 4. And being able to laugh at yourself makes for a very fun girls’ weekend.

You will want to see the long, long list of authors coming to town for the St. Louis Jewish Book Festival next month, Nov. 6-20. Among the highlights being discussed: Andy Warhol Was a Hoarder, Famous Nathan, Mrs. Houdini and Rabbi Kushner’s Nine Essential Things I’ve Learned About Life. Tickets to lectures, held at the JCC, are $18 to $45.

It’s Couturier time! National Council of Jewish Women’s Couturier Event starts

tomorrow night, Oct. 27, running through Nov. 1. The long-awaited annual happening features the most exclusive brands donated to NCJW’S THE RESALE SHOP, 295 Lindbergh Blvd., all offered at a fraction of retail. This is the event’s 52nd year!

Are you ready for an adult coloring book featuring iconic St. Louis themes?

Well, it’s ready for you!

St. Louis Splendor, by JO ANN KARGUS, is a paean to our town and its remarkable architecture.

The longtime artist/ illustrator will be at booksignings around town in the coming weeks, including Kirkwood Public Library Nov. 12 and Washington University bookstore Nov. 20.

More congrats are in order for W.U., which has been named the sixth recipient of the International Humanitarian of the Year Award by the World Affairs Council of St. Louis. The university is being recognized for its success as a world-class institution that has brought talent and prosperity to the region.

U. City resident JAMES GALLEMORE has published his first book, at age 65, Roscoe Hammer. He says it’s about “the connection between magic and life” and is, in part, based on Gallemore’s upbringing in a small Midwestern town near the Kansas Oklahoma border. Good luck!

GET TO KNOW] MEET RIDLEY PEARSON

OF TOWN & COUNTRY by karyn williams

Ridley Pearson, sound familiar? If not, maybe you haven’t had a chance yet to pick up one of his books … there are 52 of them!

The New York Times bestselling author of both crime/suspense and young adult adventure novels has received numerous accolades since his first book published in 1985. He has worked with such greats as Dave Barry to co-write Peter and the Starcatchers, which was adapted into a Tony-award winning Broadway play. His research has helped authorities solve numerous crimes, including one involving an FBI task force. Raised in Connecticut, Pearson and his wife moved to St. Louis 16 years ago to raise their two daughters.

He reveals his wit and humor below.

EDUCATION: University of Kansas and Brown University WHAT I DO: I write a lot—52 novels.

HOW I GOT STARTED: I wrote a lot. More specifically, I wrote six hours a day for eight and a half years after I graduated college before my first fiction was published. MY FIRST SUCCESS IN THE INDUSTRY: When my first novel, Never Look Back, was published. My first breakout best seller was Undercurrents, a story about police trying to catch the Cross Killer, a serial murderer in Seattle who had eluded police for months. WHERE MY IDEAS ORIGINATE: Somewhere below my hair and above my neck. PERKS OF THE JOB: Do you have five hours? I could go on and on and on … I have the good fortune to be friends with people like Dave Barry, Stephen King and Mitch Albom. I have traveled the world both to research and teach writing. I have been invited to speak on the Disney Cruise Line! I’ve seen a story I co-wrote open on Broadway and win five Tony Awards. I’ve involved 150,000 students from around the world to help me write a book, Kingdom Keepers 7. I’ve had letters from parents of autistic and dyslexic children say that Kingdom Keepers got their child reading! But most of all, I’ve been able to be the father and husband I want to be by controlling my own schedule and being there when I am needed. I WRITE BEST WHEN: I never stop creating/writing. WHAT’S UP NEXT: My latest book, Lock&Key: The Initiation, just published for the middle grades and up. It’s about the early days of James Moriarty in the Sherlock realm. So fun! FAVORITE BOOK AND AUTHOR: To Kill a Mockingbird and Harper Lee HOW I LIKE TO RELAX: Walk, read, watch sports, binge on great television HOBBIES: Learning to relax— see above. WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I WANTED TO: Be Jacques Cousteau FAVORITE VACATION SPOTS: London and New York; anywhere with theater WHY I MOVED TO ST. LOUIS: To raise our two daughters. My wife Marcelle and I decided we did not want to raise our children in a ski town (Sun Valley, Idaho) where values were not in line with our own. She attended Principia School here in St. Louis in the 1980s, and we visited for a fundraising event and instantly fell in love with the area and its people. We now have the good fortune to be a part of its community. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ST. LOUIS: Everything! The way people smile, the St. Louis Symphony, the fact that it’s a 20-minute drive to anywhere. FAVORITE RESTAURANT OR LOCAL SPOT: Herbie’s, Monsoon Vietnamese Bistro, Whole Foods BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT SO FAR: Being a father and husband. That one will never change.

COVER STORY

HELP AT HAND THRIVE AUTISM SOLUTIONS by megan ortiz

PROGRAM DIRECTOR LIZ KINSELLA

FOR FAMILIES NEEDING THE SERVICES OF THRIVE AUTISM SOLUTIONS, this

is the best time of year. That’s because open enrollment for insurance that covers its specialized services starts Nov. 1. Parents seeking behavioral treatment for their children diagnosed with autism can access evidence-based interventions offered by Thrive called Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). ABA is currently the only behavioral method endorsed by the U.S. Surgeon General, American Academy of Pediatrics and NIH for impacting autism.

“We get calls all year round,” says Liz Kinsella, Thrive program director. “Probably about 20 percent have insurance coverage with ABA on it. It’s hard in February to tell people the enrollment window just closed. But during this time of year (Nov. 1 to Jan. 31) you can direct people to the Affordable Care Act Marketplace and get the process started.”

While United Healthcare and Aetna have withdrawn from the 2017 Marketplace nationwide, remaining companies, like Anthem, still offer ABA coverage. If a child is signed up for a Marketplace plan by Dec. 15, the coverage will begin Jan. 1. The enrollment window closes Jan. 31.

Once potential clients have insurance, Thrive Autism has a full-time insurance and billing specialist to verify benefits, secure authorizations and process claims. What complicates matters is that while insurance companies here have to include ABA, employers can opt out of the coverage. “People will call up and say they have United

Healthcare, and I will say, ‘That’s great, but let’s look at your plan,’” Kinsella says.

“Even in mandate states like Missouri and Illinois, because it’s not federally regulated yet, it’s up to the states and there are ways to get around offering the coverage.”

When Kinsella talks to parents on the phone, she explains that if they send a copy of their insurance card, the office can verify their plan’s benefits. “We try to hold your hand through it,” she says. “You have enough going on; you don’t need to be spending hours making calls. We try to make it as stress-free as possible for clients and educate them on their options.”

For families frustrated because they missed this coverage in the past, Kinsella urges them to try again. Some families will take the child with autism off the family’s insurance plan and get them their own plan in the Marketplace. “Yes, they are paying two premiums and two deductibles, but they’re paying for something that is getting their child the care he or she needs,” Kinsella says.

Recent studies show 1 in every 68 children are diagnosed with autism. That number is higher—1 in every 42—among boys. Kinsella advises parents to seek out a doctor as early as possible if they see signs for concern in their children. Once there is a diagnosis, Thrive is there for the next step – whether that be therapy or simply advice. “Look for quality, evidence-based treatments in ABA,” Kinsella says. “I hate to see parents put their money into alternative therapies that are not evidenced-based. We will provide parents resources on how to advocate to get services their children need.”

ON THE COVER: THRIVE AUTISM SOLUTIONS OFFERS EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS TO TREAT CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS. TREATMENT TAKES PLACE IN THE HOME OR AT THE OLIVETTE CLINIC.

OAK HILL MAKERSPACE

COVER STORY

[AIM HIGH VILLA DUCHESNE & OAK HILL SCHOOL by megan ortiz TWENTY VILLA DUCHESNE GRADUATES SAT IN FRONT OF THE UPPERCLASSMEN and spoke about their careers, which ranged from law to design to community service. “It was a watershed moment for this faculty, who taught them,” says head of school Michael F. Baber. “For them to go out and be so successful, I got teary just listening to their 3-minute introductions! I knew they were ours, and they were so successful and happy.”

That embodies the Sacred Heart entrepreneurial spirit Baber has tired to instill in all of his students since arriving at the school in July. “I want to push them to go further,” he says. “What more can you do? Be great, help repair the world.”

Three words Baber often uses with students are fearless, confident and courageous. He repeats them to get even the youngest students at Oak Hill School thinking what their futures may hold.

Depending on their age, the reaction to his encouragement varies. “Some get very excited because they are called to new heights,” he says. “Some get a little nervous. They’ll say, ‘I’m not sure I can do that, Mr. Baber.’ But no matter where they are when they come to us, our goal is to get them moving forward.”

For Baber, that does not mean pushing each student to earn a 5 on the AP exam and enroll in an Ivy League school, although he notes students at Villa Duchesne do achieve both those feats.

“Pushing them forward cannot be at the expense of their soul,” Baber says. “We’re not going to push them beyond their ability. That is not healthy. We’re going to push them a little past their capacity and watch them stretch and grow.”

From the stories that returning alumni share, Villa Duchesne is right on track. Baber says recent alums, alternately, have told him they tested out of their college’s entry-level theology class and that they are the only girl who will raise her hand in a pre-med science class. “I like to instill in the girls and boys a clear sense that there are no limits for them,” he says. “It’s directly because of their experience here. All questions are good questions, so they do not leave wondering what others will think if they raise their hands. That is what we cultivate and demand here.”

Baber cannot wait to see and hear the stories current students will return to share with him, especially as he continues to implement changes and make the school more appealing to an even wider range of talented students. “We have a great gift to give the world,” he says. “Our students leave with a lifelong love of learning and they do not keep it to themselves.”

Three area schools were among the U.S. Secretary of Education’s 2016 Blue Ribbon Schools: Central Christian, Chaminade College Preparatory and Rockwood’s Fairway Elementary.

All three were named Exemplary High Performing Schools, placing them among the top schools in the state. Nominations are initially made by the state department of education and then schools go through a lengthy application process. Only 279 public and 50 private schools in the country earn the prestigious title.

EAGLE SCOUTS

Three area students recently became Eagle Scouts, completing community service projects. SLUH junior Westin Biermann of Troop 21 in Clayton created a garden for the Brentwood Early Childhood Center to help students grow healthy food and learn about healthy eating. SLUH sophomore Nick Prainito of Troop 918 in Cottleville oversaw the building of three benches for the City of Cottleville Dog Park. And Clayton senior Matthew Straetker of Troop 21 in Clayton designed, planned and led 20 volunteers in the building and planting of two garden beds for the Healthworks! Kids’ Museum St. Louis. Since 1912, only 2 percent of eligible Scouts have earned the organization’s highest honor!

[ power hitter ] KELSEY LENOX

When Marquette junior Kelsey Lenox walked up to bat against Webster Groves on Sept. 30, she just wanted to make contact and move her teammates ahead on the bases. She did that and a little more. Spotting perfect pitches in three at-bats, Lenox used her power to hit three home runs and drive in six RBIs to lift Marquette to a 15-4 victory. “I just drove right through those pitches, and it was exciting,” she says. “My teammates were so hyped up. Sometimes I think they get more excited than me when I hit home runs!”

Her teammates had plenty to celebrate this year as Lenox led the entire St. Louis area with 15 home runs. Lenox, who also plays with the premier select team Chaos 99, hit her first when she played 14U ball. But it wasn’t until this past year that she really focused on becoming a better power hitter. “With Chaos, we do a lot of CrossFit-style workouts that have really helped,” she says.

“My hitting lessons have helped too, and just the repetition I get working out on my own.”

Lenox does more than just hit. She is a defensive standout behind the plate. Focusing primarily on catching since sixth grade, Lenox tries to model her game after Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina.

“Behind the plate, I can see everything my teammates can’t, so I try to be a vocal leader. I know if I have a bad attitude or am not doing well, it reflects on all my other teammates, so I aim to be the best and most positive leader I can be.”

Lenox, who will play in front of recruiters all season with Chaos, hopes to continue playing in college. “I love the atmosphere at games and the sport in general,” she says. “There are so many life lessons it teaches you, like coming back from failure. I spend my summers traveling the country playing ball, and I can’t imagine anything better.”

you have to be in on every play. So at every practice, I’d be doing wall work for an hour. My freshman and sophomore years, I was still struggling and I thought, ‘What is the point?’ But it clearly paid off. I’ve come so far, thanks to my coaches and the practices they created for me.

Q | WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO WIN A STATE TITLE YOUR SENIOR YEAR? A| It would be insane. I have an ongoing competition with

my brother. He’s very smart, but he has never won a title, and he played lacrosse and hockey at SLUH. It would be good to top him in that. Plus, St. Joe has won titles in the past, but we haven’t done it since I have been here. It’s just a matter of not beating ourselves because I believe we really have the best team in the state.

[PARENT TRAP WOULD YOU WANT

YOUR CHILD TO BECOME PRESIDENT? by dr. tim jordan

BEING PRESIDENT OF THE

United States was once among a parent’s highest aspirations for their children, but I’m not so sure that’s true today. The hostility and disrespect among politicians, and voters, these days is a turnoff.

But, of course, we need to groom the next generation’s leaders. Civic service is an honorable and admirable goal. In the current toxic environment, how can we educate our kids about politics and leadership?

The most impactful thing parents can do is encourage their kids to put themselves into the shoes of political leaders instead of criticizing them. If the only thing kids see and hear is leaders being criticized and judged, why would they ever want to put themselves in a situation to receive such condemnation? This attitude discourages kids from stepping out in leadership roles.

Allow open conversations in your home where everyone can share how they would handle current situations in the U.S. and around the world. Teach kids to be critical thinkers and problem solvers versus passive complainers and blamers.

As a kid, I used to love listening to my parents and their friends discuss politics at our holiday meals. I learned it’s OK to have strong opinions; I learned how to put them out there, and how not to take disagreement so personally.

Teach your children to listen to other people’s opinions and see the issue from a different perspective. How to understand what others see and feel, and why. Practice in understanding various perspectives promotes cognitive problem solving and enhances empathy, and it’s the only way to come up with true win-win solutions to disagreements. Research has shown that having kids reflect on victims who have suffered an injustice makes it more likely they will speak up to right wrongs done to others.

Encourage children to take action as well: have them go into the voting booth with you on election day, work for a campaign, or do fact checking and research on candidates.

Urge kids to read history, especially the biographies of past presidents and world leaders so they can learn from history.

Watch documentaries about world issues and then have open discussions about them. Teach kids how to debate with authority and respect. One father told me recently that once a week at dinner he has each of his kids give a 5-minute spontaneous talk on a topic of their choice, with the intention of persuading the rest of the family. What a great way to practice advocating for a cause.

It would be a shame if young people became dissuaded from entering the political realm because of the histrionics in our current political climate. We need brave, respectful, powerful and collaborative leaders to emerge from the ranks of our young adults. It’s our job to educate and inspire them to step forward and lead.

by karyn williams MADELINE STORY AND ANDREW WINKELER HAVE A LONG HISTORY that started on the

campus of the University of Missouri, on their first day of college, to be exact. Madeline went with a friend to a fraternity party where she met Andrew, and they hit if off—at first, just as friends. “At the end of second semester, we got to spend an entire week hanging out because my sorority and his fraternity were paired together for Greek Week,” Madeline recalls. “We went back to our hometowns that summer but were dating by the end of first semester sophomore year.”

They took the time to get to know each other, and still didn’t rush anything after graduating.

“We dated a couple years after we were out of school to get settled,” she says. But a trip to New York City to visit friends one Halloween made it all worth the wait. “Andrew was intent on going to Central Park on Friday,” Madeline says. “We went to a coffee shop and then walked around for several hours. He kept wanting to check out these specific trails.” Andrew had a plan. They got to a bridge, took some pictures and then he asked her if she knew why that particular bridge was so special. “I said I didn’t, and he replied that it was because it was where he was going to ask me to marry him!”

Even though Madeline had always pictured a spring or summer wedding, Dec. 3 marks eight years exactly from their first official date. “It happened to be on a Saturday, so it just worked out, and it’s around the time we got engaged,” she says. “I didn’t want to be engaged super long, but I wanted time to plan a great wedding.”

She says planning hasn’t been difficult, even with her mom living out of town. The couple chose the Cathedral Basilica for its beauty and history, and both their parents are members of the Missouri Athletic Club. The bride-to-be notes the color scheme of navy and metallic gold will keep the atmosphere elegant and wintry without looking too ‘holiday.’ “Planning has actually been really fun,” Madeline admits. “We’re a funky couple, so we’re choosing things that reflect our personality.”

OCTOBER 26, 2016

FRIDAY NIGHT HAPPY HOUR AT THE GATESWORTH MIGHT AS WELL BE THE HOLIDAYS. “There’s a countdown,” says resident George Eberle, who attends what he calls the retirement community’s ‘social event of the week.’ Considering the myriad opportunities for mixing that The Gatesworth offers, that is high praise, indeed. Eberle, a widower, has lived there for two years and says it’s a “wonderfully friendly place. That’s so important when you’re getting older because loneliness can be a real issue. And at times, it is for me.”

Although Eberle, 89, says he’s far too old to remarry, he has found a companion in fellow resident Marilyn Lord. The two were set up on a ‘blind dinner’ by mutual friends shortly before Lord moved in last March. They attend happy hour together, and usually are joined by other residents as well. “It’s such a nice occasion and a great way to welcome newcomers,” Eberle says.

During the evening, piano music is provided by Marion Miller, who tickled the ivories for decades at The Cheshire Inn’s Fox & Hounds from 4:30 to 6 p.m. drinks are half-price: “That means a glass of wine costs a mere $2!” Eberle notes.

“Yes, it’s a highlight of the week,” Lord says. “Mr. Miller plays beautiful music. He always asks for requests, and I always ask for St. Louis Woman, because I am one!” She adds that she takes advantage of many of The Gatesworth’s social and enrichment opportunities—movie screenings and exercise classes are part of her routine, as are the day trips and lectures put on by the retirement community. A recent outing to Hermann was particularly enjoyable. “I have a packed social calendar!” she says, adding that she can’t say enough about the outstanding gourmet meals provided in The Gatesworth’s dining rooms. She says that Eberle isn’t quite as sociable as she is (“I think movies and exercise are more a woman’s thing.”), but they do have breakfast together almost every morning. And often, lunch and dinner, too. “It’s nothing serious,” she laughs. “Just a fun, fun companionship.”

Eberle, meanwhile, says cocktail hours these days are not necessarily the fancy affairs they once were. “No one really wears coats and ties anymore,” he says.

“And, frankly, I miss it.” Lord, however, says George always looks very smart, and adds that she likes to dress nicely, too.

In addition to the West Wing happy hour that Eberle and Lord attend, another similar event takes place downstairs in the Lakeview Lounge, where music is provided by artists like Vincent Golomski and Jan Ammerman. The important thing, both residents note, is that they have so many opportunities to enjoy themselves day in and day out.

FRAN GOULD IN ABU DHABI

The idea struck Fran Gould about seven years ago when her son was honeymooning in Tahiti and her daughter was vacationing in Bali. Gould needed a vacation of her own. “I thought to myself, ‘What am I waiting for?’” she says. Now, she is a well-traveled 71-year-old who has visited Hong Kong, Cuba, India, Peru, Australia, Oxford, United Arab Emirates, Berlin, Amsterdam, Prague, Scotland, Spain and Russia.

Gould is typical of today’s aging boomers who have defied notions of sedentary aging by traveling widely both domestically and internationally. “Our travelers over 55 are some of our most active and dynamic,” says Will Kiburz, who runs local travel agency Coronet Travel with his brother Jack.

He says trips for seniors often include river and ocean cruise travel, ideal for people wanting to see multiple places but unpack their suitcases only once.

Resorts are in demand, too. Many active seniors opt for adventurous trips like Gould, whose recent visit to Australia spanned 17 days and six cities. “I have friends who take at least one big trip a year,” she says. “Many go to Florida or the islands, but I prefer more educational experiences. It keeps my mind smart and keeps me active.”

Gould, whose husband died 20 years ago, initially started traveling completely alone. During her trip to Hong Kong, however, she decided to change that. A person she met told her an American had a heart attack there the day before. The fear of being overseas alone and falling ill concerned her. She continues traveling solo but decided to do it as part of an organized group with tour companies like Tauck and Road Scholar.

While Gould has traveled with Tauck before, Road Scholar has impressed her most, thanks to its

specialized tour guides. “I like to be in the city and take walks,” she says. “With Road Scholar, they do it right.

Experts are in every city. There are usually only nine to 21 of us, so it’s a nice, small group.”

While Gould plans trips in which walking is prevalent on her itinerary, seniors should find out in advance how much walking is required. If walking long distances is an issue, special transportation can be planned in advance to help get travelers from one point to the next on their agenda. Kiburz says he has made such accommodations for many travelers.

“Experiential travel is popular everywhere—getting to know a place and its people on a bit of a deeper level than the average tourist guide itinerary provides,” Kiburz says. “That can be done at places like Stonewater Cove just a few hours from St. Louis or Wharekauhau Sheep Station in New Zealand. Experiences are the key.”

Iconic Shakespeare reimagined through Radacovsky’s choreography and Prokofiev’s score

Passionate.

Dramatic.

Innovative.

... I prefer more educational experiences. It keeps my mind smart and keeps me active.

That is what keeps Gould booking more trips. Two and a half years ago she was enthralled by a Road Scholar cultural exchange trip to Cuba. After that, she was captivated by the ultramodern Dubai and Abu Dhabi when she visited her daughter, who lives there.

Her next big trip is to Japan in March of 2017. “I am not sorry about any trip I have ever been on,” Gould says. “I learn something new everywhere I go.”

For travelers still hesitant, Jack Kiburz advises seizing the moment: “Do it now, or your kids will later!”

Small urban noodle bar with gourmet eats

THE PRICES

$11-$16 ramen bowls $7-$12 small plates

THE CHEF/OWNER Chris Bork

THE FAVORITES

Warm Corn Pudding Vista Ramen Bowl Veggie Ramen Bowl Korean Fried Chicken

THIS PLACE HAS AN APPEALING URBAN VIBE that

comes from its hip, stylish menu—exclusive artisanal foods with exotic Asian flavors—and its cool ambience.

The latter could be described as ‘Cherokee vintage sushi counter’—even though there’s no sushi. The place gets its name from a large old ‘Vista’ sign above the open kitchen that the owners just happened to acquire.

Chef-owner Chris Bork was most recently the chef at Blood & Sand, a private dining club downtown that specializes in wowing members with cool eats. He’s brought that sensibility to his own tiny spot, where he gets inventive under the guise of a simple ramen joint.

To be sure, part of the menu consists of ramen offerings, but the other two-thirds (at least) is composed of things like pork ribs with ‘crab caramel’ and smoked scallop with pickled watermelon rind—hardly ramen fare.

That’s what makes it so fun. After a couple of visits there, I advise tasting both the ramen and the small plates—as many as your stomach/wallet can accommodate. If it’s offered, get the Warm Corn Pudding ($8), which, in actuality, is two mini cornbread loaves

topped with small tomatoes, smoked corn kernels and corn dashi, a Japanese cooking stock. This will be the moistest cornbread you’ve ever tasted, not to mention the most interesting, with smoky flavors blending into a buttery creaminess.

The Vista ramen bowl ($13) is probably the most ‘basic,’ offering the traditional noodles, pork broth, nori, poached egg and slab of pork belly (chashu). That said, nothing about the ramen here can be called basic. Bork has elevated the Japanese mainstay, accentuating flavors into future cravings. For one thing, his broth is clearly a labor of love and time. Pork bones have to be fussed over and simmered overnight to yield this kind of flavor.

Then he’s brought out a strong strain of sesame and ginger to complement the noodles—and these are amazing in their own right. Made fresh locally, they have wonderful flavor and texture. The slab of pork was tasty, what there was of it (it can have lots of fat), and the sous vide egg added protein.

A couple of starters—Kimchi Pancakes ($7) and Smoked Scallop ($12) were less impressive. The

pancakes were fine, three silver dollars topped with cole slaw and scallion curls, but I expected something bolder in flavor than prosaic coleslaw; the menu promised hoisin sauce, but it wasn’t prominent enough.

As for the scallop, it literally was one scallop cut into sections and dotted around the plate with tiny cubes of watermelon and honeydew and a tangy vinaigrette dressing—not enough food for the price, despite the bits of excellent pickled watermelon rind.

We also tried the Pozole and Veggie ramen bowls ($14 and $11), both with excellent results. The veggie, in particular, had loads of flavor from pickled radish and turnip, as well as forest mushrooms and “coconut schmaltz.”

A dessert of Poached Peaches ($7) was just ho-hum as a combo of shortbread, macerated peaches, basil bits and champagne sorbet. The Paw Paw Bread ($8) also was rather bland—a tea bread made with local fruit.

The accompanying grape jam and peanut butter ice cream added some interest.

PHILLIP DIXON AND REGINALD PIERRE IN SUSPENDED AT UPSTREAM THEATER

FRONT&CENTER] by donna parrone

! d e p p Snaparties

special e calenvdeanrt

FALL IN ST. LOUIS MARKS THE BEGINNING of the traditional theater season. It may be coincidence,

but several companies have chosen to launch their seasons with works that spotlight strong women.

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis opened its 50th season with Follies, a seldom-produced Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman piece from the ‘70s about a group of showgirls who return to relive past glories before their old theater is razed. Director Rob Ruggiero gave us a wonderful season opener with a great cast, lavish costumes and gorgeous set. Emily Skinner as Phyllis and Adam Heller as Buddy were so terrific in their roles I found myself rooting for them to leave their selfish spouses, played by Christiane Noll (Sally) and Bradley Dean (Ben).

But that would have required a totally different ending! My disappointment notwithstanding, I delighted in the production, especially the huge showstopper, Who’s That Woman (Mirror, Mirror) Wow! What an amazing piece of theater that was! The show was full of exceptional performances by women from 50 to 80, most notably I’m still here, performed with depth and heartbreaking beauty

by Nancy Opel.

My favorite actor, Lavonne Byers, opened the 20th season of the New Jewish Theatre to great triumph. It’s such a treat to see an expert actor craft a superb performance. Byers’ Golda Meir is a fully realized woman with strong convictions who almost wills the state of Israel into existence. If you don’t have tickets yet for Golda’s Balcony, get them. You don’t want to miss Byers’ nuanced work and magnificent performance. The show runs through Oct. 30 at the intimate theater in the JCC Staenberg complex, 2 Campus Millstone Dr. Golda’s Balcony also has a marvelous set by the exceedingly talented duo of Margery and Peter Spack. Every time I have found myself blown away by a set, it’s been one of theirs. I hope they stay in St. Louis for a long while, although their talent can take them anywhere they want to go.

Finally, Upstream Theater opens its 12th season with a U.S. premiere from Israeli playwright Maya Arad Yasur. Suspended explores the story of two men from the same African village who find themselves reunited hundreds of feet above New York City streets as window washers. Benjamin (Phillip Dixon) is looking for answers and closure and Isaac (the masterful Reginald Pierre) is looking to forget and move on with his life.

The actors spend the entire play actually suspended in the air on rigging, which deepens the tension already present in the poetry of Yasur’s script. Deft direction by Linda Kennedy propels us to the jarring and powerful finish. Upstream Theater should be on your list of St Louis’ alwaysinteresting theater companies.

Now on DVD: • Alice Through the Looking Glass • Captain Fantastic • Independence Day: Resurgence

Ostensibly, Aquarius is a movie about a woman of a certain age who refuses to give up her apartment home to developers. More deeply, though, the Brazilian film is about strength of character and what contributes to it. Be warned, it develops almost as slowly as character does over a lifetime. But it doesn’t matter. Director Kleber Mendonca Filho’s Clara is hypnotically played by Sonia Braga, and it’s hard to take our eyes off her. That’s partly because she’s almost always on the screen, but it’s also because she’s the picture of a strong, smart woman.

Part one is titled ‘Clara’s Hair,’ and right away we wonder if hair might be a symbol of strength. Clara is a cancer survivor and at the outset, her hair is short. But the movie quickly jumps to the present and now, here she is—wise and self-actualized in her 60s— with a mane that grows from her bones. It’s thick and glossy, black as night, and feels particularly symbolic when—after a miserable encounter with a woefully lacking date turned off by her mastectomy—she comes home and shakes it loose. “His loss,” we think as we watch her, fantastically self-sufficient, putting on a record and swaying to a smoky samba. Of course, the movie is also about place and how our identity merges with it, what ‘home’ means and when we should cling to it.

COVER STORY

TOP TREATMENT ST. LOUIS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL by megan ortiz WHEN BRETT HAUBRICH WAS DIAGNOSED with a Grade 3 malignant brain tumor in June 2014,

If so, this person could qualify for a clinical research study being conducted by St. Louis Clinical Trials. To qualify for this study, the individual should also be at least 50 years old and have a caregiver or person who can assist with the study’s medication.

Those who qualify for this study may be compensated for their time and travel.

his parents listened carefully to the prognosis and plans laid out by St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Their son was only 11 years old, and it was not easy to accept what they were hearing: Only 20 percent of people diagnosed with Brett’s tumor live three years.

“I got four or five second opinions, and I was amazed to find out the hospital with the top technology was Children’s Hospital, which was only 20 minutes from our house,” Brett’s mom Eileen Haubrich says. “We just hoped and prayed it would work.”

By the fall of 2015, the tumor had responded to the chemo and radiation, but Brett needed still stronger treatment. Dr. David Limbrick, chief of neurosurgery at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, knew of emerging technology being used on patients with previously inoperable tumors similar to Brett’s. He connected with Dr. Eric Leuthardt, professor of neurological surgery at Washington University who had helped to pioneer the technology, to discuss whether Haubrich was a candidate.

“Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) is where a laser fiber is placed in the tumor and heated to the point when cancer cells are killed,” Limbrick says. “It heats the tumor and not the normal brain around it. While adults had been treated with this before, Brett was one of the first children.”

Eileen Haubrich was relieved about the new option, and her son underwent his first LITT surgery on Jan. 5 and a second one March 29. Limbrick and Leuthardt performed the surgery together. “I knew we were up against a bad tumor,” Eileen says. “It grows back quickly. I knew our options were limited, but I completely trust Dr. Limbrick, who I believe is top in his field. And I don’t have enough kind words to say about Dr. Leuthardt, who learned the process so he could do this for kids.”

There was concern Brett would be paralyzed during the procedures because of where the tumor was located. However, the surgeries were successful and left Brett only with weakness in his right arm and right leg. “The success has been amazing,” Limbrick says. “We have been using it for a year on inoperable brain tumors and regions of the brain that cause epilepsy.”

Limbrick says currently no tumor appears in images of Brett’s brain. The now 13-year-old still has oral chemo 24 days a month but is determined to do normal kid things. He even played baseball in the spring. “The surgery has made a major impact on his life,” his mom says. “It has improved his quality of life, and maybe it can extend his life so he can be ready for another advancement. I can smile now and relax a little between scans and forget what I was initially told.”

She takes comfort in knowing Children’s Hospital continues to look at all the technological advancements. “I feel like they are looking out for us, and when I ask them about new technology or trials, they get back to me quickly,” she says. “I’m confident Brett is not slipping through the cracks there.”

ADVANCES IN

BY ALEXA BEATTIE

Gosh! Who knew having children was going to be this hard? What a lot of work it is to keep all aspects of their lives, all their little engine parts, running smoothly. If it isn’t one thing, it’s another. If it isn’t their physical well-being that needs tending, it’s their mental health. Where’s the instruction manual that tells us what to do, when, and how to know when we need to start, or stop, worrying?

INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS

What is it and do we need to worry about it? Not really, says Dr. Sarah Mermelstein, instructor in pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine, because in the vast majority of cases, the condition, caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, poses no serious threat.

Epstein-Barr, she says, is one of the most common human viruses. In some developing countries, 100 percent of people will have had mono before the age of 15. It causes sore throat, swollen lymph nodes and fever. Fatigue, which is often but not always present, can linger for months, with 15 percent of people still experiencing varying degrees of tiredness six months later. Tiredness can range from a general lack of energy to feeling like you simply can’t get out of bed. Children, Mermelstein says, usually have fewer symptoms, while the condition is felt more acutely in young adults between the ages of 15 and 24.

“Because it tends to show itself more in the teen years, some circles refer to it as ‘the kissing disease,’” says Dr. Joshua Arthur, SLUCare physician and associate professor of pediatrics at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. “But the virus, present in saliva, can infect someone decades after it first shows up.” Arthur

says a blood test is the only true way to know whether a person has infectious mononucleosis, and even then, there is no real treatment.

Mermelstein recommends the same course of action as that for a cold or flu—hydration, rest and an over-the-counter medicine for fever and muscle aches. If you have mono, you can avoid passing the virus to others by not kissing and not sharing things like drinking glasses, eating utensils and toothbrushes.

Both doctors caution, however, that the virus also can cause an enlarged spleen, which potentially is dangerous for anyone who plays sports. “If your spleen is enlarged, it can rupture,” Arthur says, adding that a person should stay off the playing field until the organ has returned to its normal size. This can take as long as a month, he says, and a doctor should examine the patient regularly during this time.

More than half of those with mono will have this symptom, he notes, since the viral infection relates to atypical blood cells that collect in the spleen.

As soon as a person recovers from mono, symptoms will go away for good, but the patient will always carry the virus that caused it, Arthur says.

ORTHODONTICS Orthodontics is a specialty field of dentistry that diagnoses and corrects misaligned teeth and the jaws. “It’s like solving a Rubic’s Cube, a crazy puzzle!” says Dr. William (Bill) Mastorakos, owner of Mastorakos Orthodontic Associates. “There’s so much going on in there, so many things to consider.” He says children really should be seen around age 8. This, he explains, is the period of ‘mixed dentition,’ when a child has half their baby teeth and half their adult teeth. “It’s the magical age when you can see what the current problems are and what the future ones might be,” Mastorakos says.

He says those who need treatment may have significant skeletal problems in one or more planes of space—vertical, side-toside or up-and-down, in addition to issues like overcrowding of teeth. Orthodontics, he stresses, is about a lot more than a perfect smile. “The smile comes about from everything else being right. Function and aesthetics are inseparable,” he points out.

Dr. Zac Varble of Varble Orthodontics says other common problems occur when teeth erupt in the wrong position, making them

more susceptible to trauma from a possible fall, and when a child’s thumb sucking pushes teeth out of line. Treatment in this phase of growth usually lasts between six and 12 months, Varble says, and can involve limited braces (on some but not all teeth), extraction of teeth to allow for future eruptions, headgear to guide jaw growth, and reminder appliances to help a patient overcome a habit like thumb sucking.

Mastorakas adds that other things like improper teeth brushing and night grinding also can be detrimental to proper growth.

“It tends to be the case that bad growth will continue to grow badly, and good growth will continue to grow well,” he says.

Permanent dentition, meanwhile, refers to the pubescent or post-pubescent phase when patients have all or most of their permanent teeth. “These treatment plans usually correct non-ideal tooth positions and jaw relationships and involve orthodontic appliances like full braces,” Varble explains, adding that in either case, general and pediatric dentists are key in early detection of problems. As for what’s

new in the field, Varble says orthodontists are using evidence-based approaches to determine more accurately when to time treatment in children, and whether it is always beneficial to correct an issue early.

[Around 8] is the magical age when you can see what the current problems are and what the future ones might be.”

Both orthodontists acknowledge treatments can be expensive. “We understand the financial commitment parents make, and many offices accept a large variety of dental insurances with orthodontic coverage,” Varble says.

However, coverage usually comes in a lump sum benefit and rarely covers the entire cost, he says. “Many offices can get creative with financial arrangements to ease the burden,” he notes, adding that initial assessments usually are complimentary.

“Fixing these problems is like building a ship in a bottle,” Mastorakas says. “That’s why it can be expensive!”

CAUTION , N OT FEAR Katy Sebestik, LCSW, a registered play therapist and owner of Playful Growth Counseling, says she is having many more conversations these days about fear in children. “Social media and the endless scroll of news can seriously threaten a child’s sense of peace,” she explains. “The running loop of bad news can make children, and indeed all of us, feel that bad news is the norm.”

The difficulty comes, Sebestik says, when teaching children ways to keep themselves safe creates fear. For example, school intruder drills are meant to protect young people but can contribute significantly to their unease. In this particular case, Sebestik says, it is important that children know there are adults looking out for them, and that they are not alone. But in the more general case of ‘stranger danger,’ the message is more complicated.

Ladue Police Chief Rich Wooten stresses the importance of age-appropriate conversations, and of finding the right balance between giving too much and too little information. He says parents need

to be mindful, first of all, of having adult conversations in the “indirect presence” of children. “Children pick up on things,” he says. “If you are talking on the phone to a friend, be aware that your child is in earshot and may be picking up details you don’t want them to know. Kids are curious. They listen.”

Wooten also supports the idea that anxiety is reduced when both children and adults feel empowered. “Knowing what to do in certain situations, having a game plan, will usually lessen fear,” he says. “Having drills for school and home that address what we do in certain situations become matter-of-fact and give us all a sense of control.” He suggests telling kids that in certain situations, ordinary rules can cease to apply: if a grown-up is behaving strangely and making you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to be polite; if there’s a fire outside your bedroom door and you need to get out, it’s OK to pick up a chair and break a window.

The police chief concurs that the 24/7 news cycle can “play with our heads.” Bad news we once wouldn’t have heard because

If a grown-up is behaving strangely and making you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to be polite; if there’s a fire outside your bedroom door and you need to get out, it’s OK to pick up a chair and break a window.” it happened in a small town far away now saturates the space. News programs, Wooten says, need to fill their time, which can skew our sense of reality. “If you believe everything you see or hear these days, of course it sounds like we are living in dangerous times!” he says. To combat a negative, anxiety-inducing view of the world, he encourages older kids to become their own fact checkers. “In addition to possibly lessening their fear, it will teach them to think critically,” he concludes. “And that can’t be bad.”

area, their interest was piqued. “We had watched the ongoing redevelopment of Old Town and Clayton Gardens and were impressed with the quality of homes Michael Lauren developed,” Selden Martin says. “We also knew a couple of the clients, and they had a great experience.”

The Martins began the process of creating their own dream home by reaching out to the local developer. The company, recently named among the top 15 home builders in St. Louis by the St. Louis Business Journal, guided them throughout the 17-month journey. “We transform clients’ lives by focusing our custom home development in the neighborhoods surrounding the core Clayton retail and business center, where clients can build a brand new vibrant and active lifestyle,” says president Mike Rechan. “We also transform lives by building smart, efficient, sustainable, elegant, custom homes that deliver on our clients’ vision for how they want to live the next phase of their lives.”

Michael Lauren helps clients create a home with the kind of spaces they need for their unique lifestyle. The focus is on highly efficient floor plans, personalized selections management and a relentless focus on design. “Many clients are moving from homes they purchased as existing homes in Ladue, Frontenac and Town & Country on large parcels of land,” Rechan says. “After searching for a new home, they realize that buying another pre-existing one will come with all the same inherent compromises.”

His clients have included three CEOs of publicly traded corporations, investment bank executives, entrepreneurs, a bank president and private equity partners. “We are, of course, biased, but we think we ended up with an ideal location and a home that fits the architectural merit of the area, and offers some custom design elements that hold intrigue and appeal,” Martin says. “The home has incorporated capabilities for future needs, like room for elevator installation, which will give us the ability to adapt to subsequent and changing needs.”

Michael Lauren has a new property at 121 N. Brentwood Blvd. available for custom development.

A rendering and site concept has been developed, which creates a visual for potential buyers, but the architectural floor plan will be finalized only after input from the home’s future buyers.

Once the property is sold, Michael Lauren will guide the process from concept to construction completion. “Our Brentwood rendering and site concept is a good example of how we apply our design sensibility and our knowledge of Clayton to an initial design concept that starts the conversation with a client,” Rechan says. “We take these renderings and start to evolve them to meet the client’s vision.”

The now-available Clayton Gardens location is near retail outlets and only blocks from Shaw Park, Straub’s grocery and Clayton High School. “The beauty of this lot is that it is large enough to accommodate a first-floor master and an at-level garage, which many Clayton lots are just too narrow to handle,” Rechan says.

MICHAEL LAUREN DEVELOPMENT DESIGNS AND CREATES CUSTOM HOMES BASED ON EACH CLIENT’S UNIQUE TASTES AND NEEDS, MAKING THEIR SPACES PURPOSEFUL AND UNIQUE. CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT IS A LARGE LOT AT 121 N. BRENTWOOD BLVD. IN CLAYTON. PICTURED ON THE COVER: A RENDERING OF THE NEW PROPERTY’S PROPOSED BACKYARD, ENCLOSED WITH POOL AND TERRACES.

She says she became a realtor five years ago (having been an adjunct professor of communication studies at SIUE) because she knows very well how hard moving can be. “I love to move, but still it’s stressful,” she says. “In this job, I know what people are going through; I try to hold their hand and guide them through. It isn’t just a transaction.” Schultz lives in University City and has raised her four children there.

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

We would like to improve the appearance of the front of our house, which is dominated by a garage door. We live in a subdivision of similar homes, so we also don’t want our house to look too different from our neighbors. A better looking garage door seems an obvious starting point, but what else might you suggest?

Sincerely, —ASKING FOR A MODEST PROPOSAL

DEAR ASKING FOR A MODEST PROPOSAL,

As you mention, a carriage-style garage door would add a new level of charm and detail worthy of such a prominent element. Painting it the dark green of the shutters will help it blend with the house portion of the façade, as well as tone down the stark whites of the current situation.

Additional detail changes include a wider porch column, round attic vent and new coach lamps—all noticeable upgrades that don’t change the look too much. It would also be helpful, in softening the impact of the garage wing, to bring some landscape interest to that element. To that end, large terra cotta pots brimming with color now frame the garage door, as well as the porch column. These changes allow the garage façade to read the same as the rest of the house rather than having a façade of two disparate parts. New ornamental grasses fill out the existing planting beds, pulling the whole scheme together.

Sincerely, —HOMEWORK

HOMEWORK IS PENNED BY PAUL DOERNER, FOUNDING PARTNER OF THE LAWRENCE GROUP. IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR HOME CRITIQUED, CONTACT US AT HOMEWORK@TOWNANDSTYLE.COM. FOLLOW US ONLINE

happy birthday to us!

Proud to be homegrown & serving our community for five years.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.
