EDITORIAL

KARYN WILLIAMS ALEXA BEATTIE JULIA M. JOHNSON

from the editor's desk Merely by coincidence, two articles in today’s paper mention ‘shopping local.’ We’ve all heard this is a good thing to do, but why? For one thing, patronizing restaurants, boutiques and other stores owned by St. Louis families keeps family businesses in operation. But there’s an even bigger incentive for us to support locally owned, independent businesses, as I found out when I heard about The 3/50 Project. This is a viable plan for consumers to keep independent vendors in their community. It calls for us to pick three businesses we couldn’t live without and buy something from them—every month.

The ‘50’ in its name suggests that 50 percent of the employed population spend $50 each month at such businesses. The big benefit? For every $100 spent locally, $68 goes back into the community through taxes, payroll and other expenses. That same amount spent at chain stores returns $43 to our community. But shopping online? That brings zero dollars back to where we live!

The sad truth is, if we don’t patronize our local businesses, there’s a good chance they won’t continue to exist. It’s true that by doing this you might end up paying a little more for, say, Robitussin at the local pharmacy or a flashlight from the corner hardware store versus from Target. But let’s not forget the valueadded component of personal service. Have you ever tried to find someone to help you at Walmart or Target? I don’t recommend it unless you go fortified with Xanax.

JUST WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE NEED IT MOST, ACCESS Academies holds out a steadying hand.

PHOTO COURTESY OF LEWIS RICE

Just when they need a future to believe in, ACCESS helps them see their potential. The support the nonprofit offers eases the transition from middle to high school by providing after-school enrichment programs, mandatory summer school and one-on-one mentorship from a schoolbased Graduate Support Director. ACCESS makes a seven-year commitment to its students, following them through middle and high school and helping with the college application process.

Currently, the nonprofit has academies at three city Catholic schools—St. Louis the King School at the Cathedral, Most Holy Trinity School & Academy and Saint Cecilia School & Academy—with another planned for St. Louis Catholic Academy this fall. Located in the North St. Louis Penrose neighborhood, St. Louis Catholic Academy serves approximately 108 minority students, all of whom qualify for the federal free lunch program.

“Our students have all the challenges every preteen and young teen faces, but these issues often are compounded by the problems of poverty, including underemployment, deteriorating neighborhoods and family challenges,” explains Bo Mehan, chair of ACCESS Academies’ board of directors. The vast majority of students, all middleschoolers, are the first in their family to have their sights set on college, she says, so having someone there to guide them can make all the difference. The Graduate Support Director, one in each of the three academies, not only helps with the basics of school life, but also forms an emotional bond with students.

“By building those relationships in middle school, the directors have a tremendous positive impact,” Mehan says. “It’s the nuts and bolts of school life, but also the belief in their students, that really [makes the program successful].”

Since its founding in 2005, the ACCESS program has dispatched 98 percent of all its eighth-grade graduates BOARD CHAIR BO MEHAN to private college-prep high schools such as Nerinx Hall, St. Mary’s, Bishop DuBourg, Notre Dame, Chaminade, Villa Duchesne and Christian Brothers College.

Mehan says ACCESS is “thrilled” to bring the program into St. Louis Catholic Academy, and would love to embed services into more middle schools. But she adds that the nonprofit must be mindful of its budgetary commitment to existing students and graduates. “We spend about $350,000 per year per school, and of course, we cannot risk abandoning our current high school or middle school students by overextending commitments,” she says.

This year, the nonprofit’s biggest fundraiser—the ninth annual ACCESS Academies Scholarship Dinner—is set for June 7 at the Four Seasons Hotel. The event raises money to support high school tuition scholarships for ACCESS graduates. It also offers tuition support to students at De La Salle Middle School, Loyola Academy, and Marian Middle School. More than $600,000 in scholarships will be awarded this year.

THE[IN]SIDER Y d T e T h A s P a e l un

I DON’T SPEND MUCH TIME IN MALLS anymore,

which is odd because they used to be among my favorite places. Not only because I spent years working there, but because I love people-watching and shopping. Lately, well, they just don’t seem to have the same ‘magic,’ so I’ve had to search for other magical places.

I went to the Galleria the other day to visit the Hallmark store. (I’m sure it had an actual name.) Gone.

It had a better card selection than Dierbergs. Can’t you always tell when someone takes the time to really shop for a card? It is so much nicer than the ‘just ran into Walgreens and this was the first one that said Happy Birthday, so here it is’ card. (Yes, I am card judgmental.)

I was very disheartened; now where was I supposed to pick up the funny, sassy, somewhat mean birthday cards I send to my family? Was I actually going to have to hand-write something? Yes, I know that’s a lost art, but my writing is nearly illegible, so even if I did record my thoughts and wishes, no one could read them. I came home and looked at a recent card I’d picked up in Florida, which was a perfect expression of my personality: the right amount of sassy, ignorance and love. It is hard to get that combination. So I ordered some online at emilymcdowell.com. Check it out. I much prefer to shop for my cards in a brick and mortar store, so if anyone has suggestions, email me.

My next stop was a boutique in Kirkwood named Ginger & Mary Ann on West Jefferson Avenue. I’ve talked about my shopping challenges before, and to be honest, I am in a bit of a rut. My ‘uniform’ is straightlegged jeans, short boots and a flowy shirt. It is a fine look, but I’m bored with it. So I decided that instead of going to the mall, I would try to shop at a locally owned boutique and see if I could get out of my comfort zone.

I met two friends there who had been instructed not to let me purchase jeans and/or flowy tops, but to make me try on interesting, new styles they would never expect me to pick out on my own. This included the ‘cold shoulder’ top. (Hated it. I know, who doesn’t have great shoulders? Apparently me!) Also, palazzo pants (was ready to hate them, but loved them). And there was this really bright, geometric-print coat that I never would have put on because, really, shouldn’t a coat be black or navy? I spent about two hours trying things on, getting opinions, consulting with the owner of the shop (Pam Debandt) and coming to the conclusion that shopping this way was pretty darn fun.

The other great shopping thing that happened this week was running into my daughter’s former kindergarten teacher, who now creates her own skincare line, Angel House! (It’s three degrees of separation in St. Louis, not six.) Angelique Bey, who taught my daughter how to read, is now providing people with lotions and potions to make their skin soft and supple. She has a whole line that is all natural and smells amazing! Check it out at angelhousestl.com.

I’ve lived in St. Louis my whole life and often forget about some of the great places we have here. ‘Keep Calm and Shop Local’ is my new motto.

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

by dorothy weiner

Congrats to PI BETA PHI FRATERNITY FOR WOMEN on its recent 150th anniversary.

With international headquarters in St. Louis (Town & Country), the group provided 40,000 new books this year to underserved children in our community.

Interestingly, Pi Beta Phi was founded in 1867 at Monmouth College in Illinois, and was a leader in the sorority movement at a time when few universities even admitted women students. Today, its philanthropic effort, Read, Lead, Achieve, helps youth in need succeed through literacy.

You won’t want to miss native daughter MAUREEN CHIQUET (Burroughs ‘81), who will appear at the Jewish Book Festival May 28 to discuss her new book, Beyond the Label: Women, Leadership, and Success on Our Own Terms. The event is free and open to the public. Chiquet, the daughter of Alan Popkin and Rochelle Popkin, grew up in Creve Coeur.

Ever wonder what really went into men’s fashion trends over the past three centuries? A new exhibit at the SAINT LOUIS ART MUSEUM,

Reigning Men: Fashion in Menswear, 1715-2015, opens June 25. Be prepared to be

wowed by the articles on display, most from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which organized the exhibition. And by revelations about how cinching and padding the body are not exclusive to women!

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

BRIDGETON

Passengers in St. LouisLambert International Airport’s Terminal 2 soon will be able to imagine soaring through the airport even before they approach a plane.

Undulating and softly colorful, a complex abstract sculpture dubbed Spectroplexus is being assembled from thousands of rhombus-shaped polycarbonate panels by eight students at Wash. U.’s Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design. They hope to start preparing for its fabrication and suspension from the ceiling by Memorial Day. The 100-foot-long form is to grace the cavernous space on the south side of Terminal 2, above the ticketing lobby. Airport officials say the plans for the project, born from a collaboration between the university and Lambert’s Art and Culture program, are for Spectroplexus to ‘glide’ like a wing in the space (in place, of course) for a year to 18 months.

The digitally designed translucent sheets, dyed with shades of pink and purple, will be suspended within a thin, wire-like lattice of hardened carbon fiber. In breathtakingly detailed renderings of the piece, colors emerge softly as they would in clouds fringed by rays of a setting sun. The sculpture will benefit from the immense, airy, light-filled environment where it will reside … a mechanized form that was engineered like an airplane wing, yet worked by hand in the final assembly process.

You don’t have to be a Californian to know what 90210 is. It’s the ZIP code for Beverly Hills, dude. And you don’t even have to be a hipster in the metro to know what ‘the 124’ and ‘the 105’ are. Why, sans the ‘63’, they’re the ZIP codes for Ladue and Clayton, respectively. As of June 15, Wildwood will become that sort of cool, if not even more so. The far-west city actually will

be able to claim two ZIPs: 63038 and 63040. These will automatically identify Wildwood as the default city. This represents a big postal change for Wildwood, which has had a total of seven ZIP codes, five of them shared with nearby municipalities.

Those five will be identified as Wildwood when ‘plus-four’ exchanges are added to 63005, 63011, 63021, 63025 and 63069. Residents of this hilly town—one of the largest cities in the county and state both in population and land mass—say it’s about time. Wildwood, the third largest municipality in Missouri geographically, is known as a premier destination in the county for planned l and-use development.

A quirky series of bus and walking tours of the city and region has begun, so listen up: Don’t miss the next one, billed as a time-travel experience. This summer, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) and Renegade STL are partnering for a series of ‘mini explorations’ offered in conjunction with the CAM exhibition, Urban Planning: Art and the City 1967–2017. The three remaining tours, all on Saturday, provide multiple perspectives of St. Louis art, architecture, culture and social history. Through the work of 24 major artists, Urban Planning explores BRIDGETON momentous social upheavals—the Civil Rights movement, gentrification, de-industrialization, white flight, the emptying of American cities and the expansion of the suburbs. With art that offers reflection and commentary upon the Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex, the legacy of segregation, and the dreams of a new urban ecosystem, the StL itself provides context.

Tours bridge the ideas, concepts and artistic inquiries of the museum with the brick and mortar—and residue— of urban change. Guides will give their insights into

ST. LOUIS

the causes and effects of development in the city and beyond. The lineup of tours, all 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., is: June 10: Downtown (walking tour)—Imagine exploring downtown when it was a Colonial fur trading village, then during the booming Gilded Age, and finally landing amidst the outline of the urban planning decisions of the mid-20th century.

July 29: New Town, St. Charles (bus tour)—The latest permutation in suburban living is New Town in St. Charles County. Starting with a bus trip west along I-70 (the nation’s first interstate), there’s time for participants to discuss the invention of suburbia, the racial desegregation that provoked white flight, and the socioeconomic and psychological effects of suburban living.

Aug. 12: Old North (walking tour)—Learn about Old North St. Louis in the context of our history, with a focus on the importance of the neighborhood in the city’s development and regarding issues related to space, place, historic preservation, displacement and transformation. Tour costs are modest: Admission for the Downtown and Old North tours is $15; the bus tour of New Town is $25, $20 for museum members. Now, just what are these ‘Renegades’ all about? Renegade STL, founded in 2012, offers fresh, original, off-beat tours showing off the grand history and architecture of St. Louis. Renegade guides are a self-described collective of nerds united by their love of the city and a desire to share their renegade perspectives of it.

And CAM—a site for discovery, a gathering place in which to experience and enjoy contemporary visual culture—is at 3750 Washington Ave. in the Grand Center Arts District.

Washington U. is going BIG, embarking on a major transformation of the east end of campus (where the iconic Brookings Hall faces Skinker Boulevard). Costing in excess of $250 million, the university’s largest capital investment ever on the Danforth

Campus will include: • three new academic buildings • two new multipurpose facilities • expansion of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum • an expansive new park • an underground parking garage The project will encompass 18 acres between Brookings Hall and Skinker Boulevard. Thankfully, renderings show that one of the most dramatic views in the Lou—from Skinker along the expansive green mall to Brookings and its lovely parapets—will not be obstructed.

Rather, the new Ann and Andrew Tisch Park has been conceived as a way to enhance a reimagined entrance to the campus, between Skinker and where Hoyt Drive is presently. Seventy of 300 new trees will be planted along this mall area, creating a new Brookings Allée. Two of the three new academic buildings will be dedicated to engineering. Henry A. and Elvira H. Jubel Hall will house the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science in the School of Engineering & Applied Science.

James M. McKelvey Sr. Hall will accommodate the engineering school’s Department of Computer Science & Engineering and support the university’s data science efforts. Anabeth and John Weil Hall will be the new ‘front door’ of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and provide faculty and students exceptional studio spaces and access to new technologies. The Craig and Nancy Schnuck Pavilion will include the Environmental Studies program in Arts & Sciences and the Office of

Sustainability, as well as a variety of dining options. The pavilion also will support the university’s pedestrian and bicycle commuters with showers, lockers and bicycle parking. And the Gary M. Sumers Welcome Center will house the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Student Financial Services, serving as a starting point for campus visitors. A ceremonial groundbreaking was held May 5, with construction set to begin May 22. Bravo to our very well-endowed university!

40? (What? It’s officially known as Interstate 64? Says who? But ‘Highway 40’ has just the right ring to it!

It rolls right off the tongue … kind of.) The Chase’s Beantown-based new owners will be contracting with a hotel brand—they’ll leave the light on for you, but it’s not Motel 6. It’s called Sonesta. We thought that might be Spanish for a longer, overnight type of siesta, but no.

In any event, it wouldn’t matter to most of us in the StL who takes over ownership of the hotel. By any other name, it’s still The Chase Park Plaza.

Perhaps the most recognizable structure in St. Louis, besides the Gateway Arch, is The Chase Park Plaza hotel complex … especially the 29-story, Art Deco residence tower. There was scuttlebutt in local print and electronic media last week that the new owners were going to change the name of the hotel, but it turns out only the brand name will change. Whew— that was close. Could you imagine someone coming in and messing with memorable names beloved by locals? Like, for instance, our central east-west artery, Highway

Does an affair matter in divorce?

Stange Law Firm, PC

With the advent of no fault divorce, many think that fault no longer matters. As it relates to divorce, the viewpoint is that an affair does not matter at all.

Some think that courts will look at it and give it no weight. In the end, the view is everything is going to be divided in half anyway. Child support and maintenance is going to be what it is. And in terms of child custody, many think an affair is irrelevant.

Is this correct? The reality is that this viewpoint is not accurate in many states.

It is true that to get divorced, parties do not have to show fault for a divorce to be granted. Prior to the advent of no fault divorce, parties would have to show fault like an affair, abandonment, emotional cruelty, violence or some other fault of some kind

to get divorced.

But with no fault divorce, that is no longer required. The exact language varies by state, but generally speaking, parties simply have to show that a marriage is irretrievably broken to get divorced.

However in terms of marital property and debt division, and spousal maintenance (alimony), many states still allow the conduct of the parties as one of the factors in terms of making that determination. States like Missouri and Kansas fall into that category.

However, Illinois excludes fault as a consideration by statute.

But in terms of child custody, an affair could still have an effect in most states, as long as it has a bearing on the best interests of the children. In cases where an affair can be pointed to having a negative impact on the children and their custody or parenting time with either parent, an affair could still

be looked at for custody and parenting time determination.

Thus, parties who think an affair will have no effect whatsoever are potentially missing the mark. It is true that many judges will give little weight to an affair (even in states that allow it to be considered). At the same time, an affair is not completely irrelevant in every case. In some cases, an affair can ultimately impact the result of the case. This is especially true when the affair had a financial impact on the marital estate.

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

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.

ALEXANDRA HAMMACK & JOHN SKAE

3/11/17

by julia m. johnson | photos by kate hayes of L Photographie ALEXANDRA HAMMACK SAYS HER MARCH WEDDING TO JOHN SKAE was all about reliving family

memories and creating lively new ones. The pair met while both were in the MBA program at Washington University. “We became friends first,” Alexandra says. “It was about a year before we started dating, and he proposed after just six months.” She chose Central Presbyterian Church and the downtown Missouri Athletic Club because her parents had their wedding and reception there 30 years earlier. “We looked at other places, but nothing else felt as special,” Alexandra says. “I really wanted the sentimental value to be there.”

The menu included St. Louis favorites like toasted ravioli, and the couple ordered Imo’s pizza for guests who stayed until the end. “We even served homemade ice cream with the wedding cake,” she says. “My dad always makes it for family events, so we wanted that tradition as part of our big day, too.”

Her 98-year-old grandmother was unable to attend, so the bride and groom donned their finery again two days later and surprised her with a ‘re-creation’ of their big day. “It would have been my grandfather’s 100th birthday,” Alexandra says. “We had champagne, cake and a little reception at Surrey Place, my grandmother’s retirement home. She was completely surprised. It’s one of my favorite memories of that whole week.”

The morning of the wedding, a light March snow was falling. “They say rain on your wedding day is a good omen,” she notes. “So I figured snow would be really good luck!” And it was. “Everything was so much fun, and the music and food were fantastic. I would do it again every weekend if I could!”

The bride attended Whitfield School and Southern Methodist University, and the groom is a graduate of Ladue Horton Watkins High School and Mizzou. She works for the St. Louis office of Square, and he is in commercial banking at Parkside Financial.

engagement celebration without even realizing it. In late 2016, she was on vacation with her parents and boyfriend, Travis Lehman, in Sonoma, California. Additional family members were due to arrive, so Emma had arranged for a dinner outing once everyone was in town. Little did she know, Travis would propose that morning—and dinner would end up being their engagement party. “I actually thought we were going to celebrate my birthday,” she says. “Everyone was in on the secret but me!”

Travis popped the question when she would least expect it—while the two were on a jog together that morning.

“Looking back, I realize he was acting a little weird at the time,” Emma says. “He kept stopping to figure out the perfect spot to ask the question.

He had the ring in his pocket the whole time!”

Family members were waiting excitedly at the house where they were staying, and the group spent the rest of the day visiting local vineyards before a memorable dinner.

The couple is planning a September wedding and reception at The Coronado, with guests flying in from California and New Zealand. “We’ll be so excited to have everyone together in St. Louis,” Emma says. “Many of them have never been here, so we’re planning little touches to make their time here special.”

Emma says her personal taste leans toward the vintage and unusual, so the 1920s building seemed like a natural choice for both the wedding and reception. “We wanted an indoor wedding because we weren’t sure how warm the weather would be in September,” she notes. She plans to make the day a vivid one with bridesmaid gowns in greens and blues, and wildflowers of many colors.

Emma, a Clayton High School alumna, works in marketing for Fitbit, and Travis is a consultant for Deloitte. The pair will continue to live in San Francisco.

COVER STORY

IT’S A FRUSTRATING SCENARIO, BUT ONE THAT MANY MEN RECOGNIZE: Frequent

visits to the restroom, waking up at night to urinate, and struggles with straining and dribbling. All of these may be signs of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), doctors say.

The good news is, SLUCare doctors are among a select group with FDA approval to test and perform a new, minimally invasive treatment for men with these symptoms.

Known as PAE (prostate artery embolization), the outpatient procedure has fewer side effects and a shorter recovery time than traditional surgery, says SLUCare interventional radiologist Dr. Keith Pereira. And SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital is one of only five U.S. hospitals—and the only one in the Midwest—with FDA approval to perform it, he notes.

BPH is a noncancerous condition that causes prostate enlargement in about half of men ages 51 to 60, and up to 90 percent of men over 80—so it’s a common problem, Pereira says. Dr. Sameer Gadani performed SLU’s first PAE procedure in 2014, and the interventional radiology team put a great deal of effort into obtaining FDA approval to offer it more widely, he notes. SLU worked with the technology firm Siemens to develop imaging for the procedure, and Andy Hall, D.Sc., from the university’s biomechanical engineering department is heavily involved in ‘mapping out’ the procedure, says interventional radiologist Dr. Kirubahara Vaheesan. The FDA approval is especially important because it means prostate enlargement no longer has to be accepted as part of the male aging process, he notes.

During PAE, doctors use local anesthesia and insert a thin catheter into a wrist or groin artery, then guide it through the body toward blood vessels that feed the prostate. Particles called microspheres are injected into the vessels to reduce blood supply to the organ, causing it to shrink. It’s an improvement over traditional

SLUCARE INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY TEAM

surgical techniques, which are more invasive and can cause side effects like sexual dysfunction, incontinence and bleeding, Pereira says.

BPH can have serious consequences if it’s not treated, so it’s important to tell your doctor if symptoms appear. “Many men with BPH have a lot of difficulty passing urine,” Vaheesan says. “Some even have to use a catheter. Many have to get up often at night, and it takes them a long time to go. They can’t sleep, and they suffer a lot.”

But when they’re asked to describe their quality of life after PAE, the results tend to be very positive, he notes. “Men tell us they’ve tolerated the treatment well, they’re passing urine much more easily, and they can sleep at night,” Vaheesan says.

Patients often have the procedure on a Thursday or Friday and return to work Monday, Pereira says. “It’s a good alternative for men whose BPH isn’t well controlled with medication, or who can’t tolerate the medication. It’s also a good choice for those who can’t have surgery because of other health conditions.” Hosea Bartlett of Huntsville, Alabama, says he was one of those patients not helped by medication.

His doctor suggested surgery, but Bartlett’s son works for SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital and told him about PAE, so he drove to St. Louis to meet with SLUCare doctors. “Before the procedure, I was getting up once or twice a night to go to the bathroom, so I couldn’t sleep,” he says. “When I’d travel, I could only go an hour or so without stopping. Now I can drive four or five hours, and sleep through the night. I’d recommend PAE to other men—my quality of life has really improved.”

When patients come to SLUCare asking about the procedure, they are evaluated to check the severity of their BPH. “If medication or surgery isn’t an option, PAE may be the answer,” Pereira says. “Getting the FDA stamp of approval was an important step. I foresee this becoming the standard of care in the next three to four years.”

the favorites

Tempura Portobello, Chicken Duet, Crispy Okabe

HOW CAN YOU NOT BE INTRIGUED BY A RESTAURANT named Polite Society? Started by a

couple of veterans of the local dining scene, it has a dignified vibe of cocktails, literature and gourmet food. Located in charming Lafayette Square, its co-owners are Brian Schmitz and Jonathan Schoen, and the executive chef is Thomas Futrell, who has had stints at Scape and Blood and Sand.

The interior is warm, with dark woods, exposed brick and unexpected but attractive builtin bookcases here and there that add to the English library ambience. Be sure to notice the beautiful suspended wine rack over the bar in ‘room one.’ There are two other rooms, each attractive—and reservations are advised.

We started with a scrumptious Tempura Portobello ($9), a massive platter of deep-fried mushroom fingers with a light, oily crust and a dusting of micro sprouts. The dipping sauce was good, a combination of tangy poblano chilies and sweet tamarind. A small bites item, Potato Crisps ($5), were fried potato curls with an herb dipping sauce—tasty but not exciting.

I like the entree assortment here—about a dozen items ranging from mushroom ravioli and scallops to filet and pork shank. You shouldn’t miss the Chicken Duet ($23), an amazing plateful of food that includes a roasted chicken breast, confit dark meat, Johnny cakes and roasted heirloom beets. Each element was very well done, especially the beautiful crust achieved from pan-browning the chicken. The overriding flavor was a subtle honey mustard pan jus.

Also good was the Pan Roasted Monkfish ($27), served with a delicious, savory lentil stew, sautéed salsify and roasted turnips. The fish had good flavor, clean and mild, and this preparation let it shine with its simplicity. A couple of vegetarian dishes proved you don’t need animal protein for a gourmet meal. Crispy Okabe ($21), in particular, was impressive with browned rectangles of tofu scattered over a savory melange of goodies, including riced cauliflower, snow peas, lotus root and cilantro ginger pesto. The sauce, not too wet, was an irresistible soy molasses glaze: sweet, salty and umami all in one.

The other meatless dish appeals to the mac ’n cheese crowd. Offered both as an appetizer and entree, tender spaetzle came imbedded in cheesy Gruyere sauce. Creamy and rich in flavor, with a hint of nutmeg, the dish works better as a starter, I think, because cheese and noodles can get monotonous. Plus, the doughy spaetzle were slightly overdone.

A dessert of Banana Peanut Butter Napoleon ($10) could have been a standout, except for a distinct char flavor that detracted from its banana pudding goodness. Not a stacked pastry at all, it was a creative ‘cold mess’ of whipped cream, banana pudding, crisp pizzelli and banana fingers with burnt sugar on top (probably the source of that unwanted bitterness).

CHRIS TIPP AS LEO AND AMY LOUI AS VERA IN 4000 MILES

FRONT&CENTER] by alexa beattie

4000 MILES, THE FINAL PRODUCTION OF NEW JEWISH THEATRE’S milestone 20th season, is billed as “a small story with a very big heart.” The play, written by Amy Herzog, centers around a relationship between a grandmother and her grandson as they bridge the 70 years between them and come to understand each other. Chris Tipp plays Leo, who rode cross-country on his bicycle and suffered the loss of his best friend/biking companion along the way. Amy Loui plays 91-year-old New Yorker Vera, and does so to good effect. Loui herself is far from old, but her portrayal of old age is impressive and, at times, positively uncomfortable; we watch as she struggles up from a chair, and feel the creak in our own knees.

At first, she and her grandson seem destined to regard each other as creatures from different planets. She doesn’t understand computers or padded bicycle shorts; he doesn’t get Yellow Pages or rotary dials. But bit by bit, they find common ground—in their lefty beliefs and shared enjoyment of a joint.

There are only two other actors in the play (three if you count the voice coming from a FaceTime call), and they are bright sparks. Bec, Leo’s girlfriend, is played by Rachel Fenton, who recently appeared in Saint Louis Actors’ Studio’s August: Osage County. She has the same vitality here as she did then. And Grace Langford (who plays Leo’s pick-up, Amanda) bursts on the set and— charismatically—commands it.

The play is directed by Edward Coffield and runs through May 28 at the Wool Studio Theater in the Arts & Education Building of the JCC’s Staenberg Family Complex.

ON THE MARQUEE: STAGES launches its 31st season in a riot of gorgeous technicolor June 2, when

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat comes to the Robert G. Reim Theatre. Based on a biblical tale, this Andrew Lloyd Webber classic tells the rags-to-riches tale of Joseph, his 11 brothers and his coat of many colors. Starring in the show are New York actor Jeff Sears as Joseph, Broadway actress Kirsten Scott as Narrator and New York actor Brent Michael DiRoma as Potiphar. The show runs through July 2. The 31st season also includes 9 to 5, The Musical, and South Pacific. Seussical is the STAGES Theatre for Young Audiences production, running June 14 through July 2 at The Playhouse at Westport Plaza.

Meanwhile, The Muny begins its 99th season June 12 with the ‘heavenly’ musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. The summer lineup thereafter is Disney’s The Little Mermaid, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, All Shook Up, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, A Chorus Line and Newsies.

LAST CHANCE: Upstream Theater’s A Human Being Died That Night runs through May 28 at

Kranzberg Arts Center. The play, written by Nicholas Wright from the book by psychologist Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela, centers around the interviews Gobodo-Madikizela conducted with Eugene de Kock in South Africa during the 1990s. De Kock was serving a 212-year prison sentence for crimes against humanity and his part in the torture and murder of dozens of anti-apartheid activists.

Directed by Patrick Siler, it’s a powerful study of remorse and a remarkable exploration of the power of forgiveness.

BEAUTY ADVANCES

BY MARY JO BLACKWOOD, RN, MPH

There is always intense interest in what’s on the beauty horizon. People want to know about the latest and greatest ways to improve the face and body. To that end, we bring you our annual Beauty Advances section, with the 10 top tips for 2017.

ACNE NEWS Rumors about what aggravates acne surface all over the Internet: dairy makes acne worse; stay away from chocolate; shun French fries.

Dermatologist Dr. Joseph Muccini of Mid-America Skin Health & Vitality Center says studies have been inconclusive. “There is some anecdotal evidence that dairy and milk chocolate may make acne worse in some people, but the teen years are a major time for putting down bone mass and heading off later osteoporosis, so we really don’t want to eliminate a good source of calcium and vitamin D. It warrants further study, but at this point, the benefits of milk outweigh the risks.”

Muccini says there is a stronger association regarding low-glycemic versus high-glycemic foods. White rice, white bread, potatoes and sugar are high glycemic and tend to lead to inflammation and other health problems. People generally do better on a low-glycemic diet: veggies, whole grains and low-fat dairy.

Muccini says he listens to his patients. “If a kid tells me when he has a Big Mac three nights in a row, he gets more pimples, I suggest maybe that’s not a good dietary plan for him,” he says.

“What people eat does have an effect, especially if they eat a really high-fat diet and empty calories. If your body isn’t healthy, your skin can’t be either.”

Hygiene and consistent use of medication are more important than diet in managing acne, however, Muccini notes. If you want to have healthy skin, he recommends: washing your face twice a day; not picking at your face because doing so creates inflammation and skin damage that last longer than letting the pimple disappear on its own; and trying over-thecounter products that contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or 0.1 percent adapalene. If there is no improvement in two months, see a dermatologist for prescription-strength medications.

SANDALWORTHY FEET Sandals are coming out in droves, but should our feet? Rough, calloused feet can shame those really cool slipons we just got. We all tend to be hard on our feet, so what can we do about it?

“Salon peels and over-the-counter foot peel kits are very different,” says Angela Horwitz, coowner of Clean Spa. She cautions that if you have cracked feet, blisters, diabetes or peripheral neuropathy, peels are not a good idea. Any open sores should be totally healed before doing a foot peel, and diabetics should have a doctor’s clearance.

You may be better off with a different form of callus removal.

Her salon offers callus reduction pedicures, the depth of which is determined by the foot. In between pedicures, a peel helps remove dead skin so moisturizers work better.

SKIN CARE NOW, NOT LATER Turns out the millennials have changed the nature of skin care.

According to Dr. Michele Koo of Aesthetic Surgery Institute, the movement to preventive skin care at an earlier age is growing in part thanks to social media. If you want all those selfies to reflect the best possible you, “prevention is the best weapon to keep wrinkles, pigment and damaged thinning skin from occurring in your 30s and 40s,” Koo says. That also applies to teenage and adult acne. Once the acne scars and pigment have occurred, it’s hard to reverse. “Starting skin care early and continuing is really the only way to have supple, healthy skin through an entire lifetime,” she says.

By preventing any significant damage, we won’t have to backtrack, only continue to nourish and stimulate the skin to repair itself and create more collagen growth. Koo makes a clear distinction between medical skin care and the over-the-counter products, even the pricey ones. She says, “In the

United States, medical therapeutics require prescriptions. OTC skin care doesn’t contain effective medical actives in high enough concentrations to change skin at the cellular level.”

She stresses that medical sunscreen is vital, as well as vitamin serums to nourish the skin cells to continue to turn over at a rate that maintains healthy, firm, smooth skin. Some of the key medical ingredients she recommends include retinol, reservatrol, glycolic acids, hyaluronic acid, vitamin serums, and glucosaminoglycans (GAGs) to maintain and support collagen, elastin and bounce in the cellular spaces, and to keep protein fibers in balance.

And let’s not forget Botox. Used before creases are noticeable, it can keep them from forming, especially in the forehead, crow’s feet and the ‘11s’ between the eyebrows. Use on the upper lip can prevent vertical pleats around the mouth. Botox should be started, Koo says, as soon as you detect very fine lines in those areas.

COCONUT, A BEAUTY FRIEND When it comes to offering health benefits at an approachable price, what’s not to like about a coconut? So says Afua Bromley of Acupuncture St. Louis & Wellness Center. “It is a healthy food, readily available around the world and pretty inexpensive. It also has antibacterial, antifungal and antivirus qualities and can help with recovery from illness.”

She says people are sometimes put off because coconut contains a saturated fat they have been conditioned to avoid.

But coconut oil is a medium-chain fatty acid, and therein lies the difference. She stipulates only using extra-virgin coconut oil because it preserves the integrity of the fatty acid chains. Coconut oil fats break down quickly and are more likely to be burned than stored. Coconut oil can be used on vegetables and hot cereals instead of butter at the end of cooking.

Dried coconut chips or flakes act as an

anti-inflammatory as long as they are not the sweetened kind. Sugar causes inflammation, Bromley reminds. Coconut water has a natural form of electrolytes, is low in sugar and helps you rehydrate after exercise. It won’t spike blood sugar like some of the other energy drinks.

Bromley says if you get leg cramps at night (sometimes caused by dehydration), a half-glass of coconut water before bed can prevent them. It is also used as a formula base for infants who can’t tolerate soy or dairy products.

Applied to damp skin after a shower, extra-virgin coconut oil inhibits bacterial growth on the face and body, prevents dermatitis and promotes body healing. Try massaging a small amount of the oil into the scalp to nourish hair roots and prevent breakage. Bromley also recommends using it on the cuticles and for softening the feet. It may prevent toenail fungus if used consistently.

NEW FAT DESTRUCTION SYSTEMS

SALT: GREAT FOR THE SKIN We spend tons of money on moisturizers, but it may be for naught if we aren’t exfoliating to get rid of dead skin cells first. That’s where salt comes in. Carol Anderson, certified aesthetic nurse specialist and owner of Nouveau MedSpa, says a periodic salt exfoliation not only leaves skin luminous, but also removes dead skin cells so moisturizer can do its job.

She says it’s one thing we can do for our whole body. “An all-over salt rub leaves your skin so much healthier.” A salt rub can both detox and supply nutrients to the skin, the lymphatic system and the muscles.

Anderson notes that over-the-counter rubs contain very coarse ingredients that can abrade the skin. Plain sea salt isn’t bad, but it has fewer minerals than what she uses, a combination of Dead Sea salts and Himalayan pink salt. Dead Sea salt contains 21 minerals, including magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, zinc and potassium—minerals we lose every day and need to replenish to help us detoxify and cleanse.

Dead Sea salt helps get rid of impurities, while Himalayan salt has 84 minerals and is more easily absorbed by the body.

Varying grain sizes are used for delicate versus more callused skin areas. She mixes the salt with almond, coconut, olive or avocado oil. Anderson says the salt rubs are not only good for relaxation and exfoliation, but also can help relieve acne, eczema and psoriasis; reduce fluid retention; stimulate circulation; and strengthen bones and nails. She says we should consider having one at least once each season to turn over skin cells and refresh the skin.

Surgical liposuction is effective but comes with significant downtime.

Several much less invasive approaches to fat sculpting have come out in the last several years, which are all effective to a certain extent, but it pays to do your homework. Called non-contact fat cell disruption, these non-invasive devices damage fat cells, breaking them open and causing the fat to be metabolized by the liver and excreted. Dr. Richard Moore of The Lifestyle Center says he chose Vanquish ME™ over other approaches for several reasons.

“One device uses a cool laser to break up fat, and another freezes the fat cells to destroy them,” he explains.

“Vanquish ME™ uses radiofrequency (RF) heat energy and has the largest treatment area, destroying 30 times the amount of fat as the laser device and 10 times as much as the freezing device, reaching deeper into fat cells than either.” He says the

other advantage of RF heat is that it tightens the skin and stimulates collagen growth.

The Vanquish procedure is painless and doesn’t produce the bumps, firmness or numbness of the freezing option, Moore says, and there is no downtime. He especially recommends Vanquish ME™ for large areas of fat deposits found on the abdomen, flanks, bra line, and inner and outer thighs.

He cautions that this less-invasive fat destruction method takes longer to achieve than sucking it out with liposuction, but says it is much easier on the body. Optimal results are achieved in about two months.

He recommends a series of five 45-minute treatments one week apart. Clients will notice results in two to three treatments. However, he cautions, as with any procedure, it needs the support of a healthy lifestyle. If you take in more calories than you burn through exercise, the remaining untreated fat cells will get larger. It has to be a combined approach.

NEEDLES FOR BETTER SKIN?

DRINK TO YOUR HEALTH! It’s hard to know sometimes whether what we put in our bodies will serve us well. Ideally, we want to ingest items that are high in nutrients and low in sugar.

For Angela Zeng, creator and founder of Karuna beverages, that means a melding of Eastern and Western wisdom. “We use a nutritional approach based on Eastern wisdom combined with modern health science.” She has degrees in biochemistry and pathology; her husband is a physician.

She says when people think of Eastern medicine, they think of herbs, but those have to be used with caution. “In our beverages, we avoid ginseng because it isn’t good for certain body types. The same with ginger,” Zeng says.

“Too much in the wrong people can cause skin eruptions and other problems.

Instead, we use high antioxidant berries, like aronia (chokeberry) and longan berry that help the body function at its best”.

Zeng’s company makes Karuna Heal from mung beans and aronia berry, Karuna Hydrate without added sugar, and Karuna Fuel is a combination of complex carbohydrates and protein to energize.

One day we notice our skin starting to droop and a loss in volume. We’re not ready for a face-lift, so it’s nice to know we have some new options. The one that excites Dr. Richard Maack of Synergi Facial Surgery and Synergi MedSpa is Vivace, a fractional micro-needle RF system. When it comes to rejuvenating facial skin, the secret may be in having the right needles.

Says Maack: “This device has the best outcome for what we want to achieve. It reduces pore size, softens fine lines and wrinkles, tightens the skin, increases collagen production, and fades acne and surgical scars.” He says the secret is in the configuration of the needles. During treatment, 36 tiny needles attached to

a robotic arm stimulate the skin at three levels, he says.

The insulated needles have tips that emit radiofrequency energy. Pulses of light activate skin cells to increase collagen production and moisture levels in skin, and improve skin tone and texture.

Maack says it gives very consistent results, regardless of the color of the skin. FDA-approved for the face and neck, Vivace’s radiofrequency energy creates heat, but not to the extent of discomfort, he notes. Maack says sometimes he does the treatment in conjunction with skin topicals such as vitamin serum and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to heighten the effect even more. He calls Vivace a facelift without a knife.

Summer is around the corner... and the summer sun comes with it.

We have options to help reverse the effects of sun exposure and aging, and now is the perfect time to treat and prevent.

Jackie’s May Specials

A LIP FILLER THAT LASTS LONGER Research is keeping up with baby boomer demands for a more youthful appearance. Fillers to plump facial areas that have sunk or are too wrinkly are becoming better and lasting longer. One of these, out about a year, is Volbella by Allergan. Volbella is designed to be used on vertical lip lines and to plump the lips themselves so they stay supple and even for up to a year.

Jackie Carr, a nurse practitioner and licensed aesthetician with Aesthetic Medispa of West County, applauds this newest product.

“Volbella is a hyaluronic acid filler somewhat like Restylane Silk, but it’s smoother and has a longer duration than four to six months.” She says the filler gives a more instant result and is more effective than chemical peels, microdermabrasion or even lasers, although she sometimes recommends a combination of treatments.

Other new fillers she likes from Allergan include Voluma for cheek bones, which lasts up to two years, and the brand-new Vollure, designed for plumping the nasolabial folds. That lasts up to 18 months. All the fillers, Carr says, have lidocaine built in for more comfort.

Valid through May 31, 2017. Discounts not valid with other offers.

RELIEF FOR VAGINAL ISSUES Not talking about changes in the vagina doesn’t make them go away. With new technology, women who do speak up are finding relief for problems they thought they had to live with.

Says Dr. Terry Myckatyn of Washington University department of plastic and reconstructive surgery, “Bodies change. After a couple of babies, the vagina may not be as tight as it was. After menopause or breast cancer and a course of hormone suppression therapy, the skin of the vagina is more tender, thinner and dryer. Sex can hurt. Sneezing or laughing may cause urine leakage. Women don’t know there is something new and effective out there, and neither do many health professionals.”

The Viveve® radiofrequency device has been used in clinical trials and became available in Myckatyn’s office in April. A randomized, controlled blind study of the device at multiple centers in Canada, Italy, Spain and Japan reported significant relief of vaginal laxity and improved sexual function.

Myckatyn explains that it works similarly to radiofrequency and ablative laser devices on the face to firm and build collagen. “Now we’re using it in the vagina,” he says. “The energy device is placed inside so energy can be delivered to the walls to stimulate the tissue and tighten musculature. In the trials, it also reduced stress incontinence and increased secretions to reduce dryness.” He says there are several other devices out there, including a laser, but they require multiple treatments.

OWNER DAN KIRCHHOEFER FELL IN LOVE with

Heather Hill Lane when he first drove down it more than a decade ago. Other owners were tearing down its 1950s-era houses and rebuilding, so Kirchhoefer decided to buy property there and do the same. He wrote letters to homeowners on the street, asking if anyone was looking to sell—and fortunately, someone was.

Kirchhoefer says he wanted to rebuild in grand style.

He drew up most of the floor plan himself, and worked with builder R.J. Barry to bring the new home to life.

“My daughter and I are the only people who have lived here,” he notes. “And I’m a stickler for keeping things in beautiful shape, inside and out. So it’s unusually pristine for a 10-year-old house.”

There were two ‘must-have’ features on Kirchhoefer’s

PHOTOS: ROD PATERSHUK

16 HEATHER HILL LANE

listing price | $1,574,000 listing agent | diane patershuk of berkshire hathaway homeservices alliance real estate

list: lots of room for entertaining and a large wine room for his extensive collection. Natural light was also a priority, so he designed large windows throughout the house. There’s lower-level space that would work well as a guest suite, and a fitness room with plenty of space for large equipment. And the expansive master suite features a custom-designed, walk-in closet big enough for two wardrobes. “I’m a bit of a clothes horse, so I really like that feature,” Kirchhoefer says.

He plans to downsize to a smaller house in the area, but says he’s created some wonderful memories. “The most enjoyable times have been when my sister brought her seven kids and 25 grandchildren to dinner for the holidays,” he notes. He describes the house as “made for fun,” with its large kitchen, spacious yard, outdoor

patio and wide-open interior perfect for mingling and socializing. Kirchhoefer says he spends most of his relaxation time in the sunken hearth room because it has “the best sound system and TV setup.”

He feels equally attached to the beautifully appointed study and recreation room. “I always seem to end up there to unwind after parties and family gatherings,” he says. The quiet street and neighborhood have made life pleasant as well: “There’s never any road noise, and the house’s high-quality construction makes it even more peaceful here.”

It all adds up to a house Kirchhoefer has been proud to call home. “I know every nail, screw and piece of wood,” he says. “I did a lot of research when I was designing it, and I think it’s one of the best-built homes in Olivette.”

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

This Creve Coeur ranch has served our family’s needs well for the past 49 years. We would like to give the home a refresh but don’t know where to start. We want to replace the aluminum front porch columns, and we think our wide lot could handle a circle drive. Would that work with the unfortunate front-entry garage? We also would love some more storage in the garage. Can you help us get started?

Sincerely, —READY AND WILLING

DEAR READY AND WILLING,

Your house has a casual formality that I want to enhance. I would tone down the impact of the front-facing garage by implementing your desired circle driveway. The existing straight drive draws one’s eyes to the façade’s least-handsome feature! The new circle drive, with its curved brick wall and landscaping, both hides the garage door and blends the architecture with the landscape better.

In addition, I have added a new storage area for the garage, which is accented with a round window. This new ‘bumped out’ element further diminishes the prominence of the garage door.

You also will note more formal and continuous foundation plantings that play up the façade’s formal nature. The current black and white color scheme works well, but a bright red front door adds an accent and draws the eye to the front porch with new columns.

It sounds like your house has earned its makeover. Hope you like the new look.

—HOMEWORK

CELEBR ATING

125

YEARS

BY DOROTHY WEINER

t’s hard to pass the stately homes in the Central West End without wondering what life inside would be like. Massive foyers, formal parlors, decorative crown molding and ceilings that never end fascinate us as they provide a glimpse of genteel life during a simpler, slower time in history. The public is invited inside to take a peek during the annual CWE Home & Garden Tour, this year featuring the mansions of Fullerton’s Westminster Place, which is celebrating its 125th anniversary. Set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 10 and 11, the Central West End Association event spotlights 10 historic homes open for self-guided tours. The elegant area got its name from General Joseph Scott Fullerton, a Union Army veteran and attorney who purchased the tract in 1882. Tickets are available at all Straub’s locations or thecwe.org for $20 per person through June 3, $25 at the event. A preview party June 9 includes music, food and additional homes not on the daytime tour (tickets $100 through June 8).

T

he first home constructed on the street, in 1892, it is an example of the Romanesque Revival style. It was home to the Edward Semple family, which commissioned a firstfloor music room addition in 1899 with a rathskeller underneath as a cool getaway from the summer heat. In the 1960s and ’70s, it was used as

a boarding house, and later converted to a two-family home. Now fully restored, it contains notable appointments, including a dining room chandelier from the Saks Fifth Avenue store on Maryland Avenue and a bar that is a deconsecrated altar from a church on Taylor Avenue. The quiet garden is modeled after a New Orleans courtyard.

uilt in 1892 in the Colonial Revival style, this was one of the first seven houses of Fullerton’s Westminster Place. It was designed by W. Albert Swasey, who also designed the street’s layout, entrance gates and 13 of its 57 homes. The current

owner has painstakingly focused on returning it to its original late-Victorian look, including its furnishings and wallcoverings. Highlights include original woodwork, antique lighting fixtures and a hanging Zardozi jewel carpet with 643 semi-precious stones.
