JULIE M. STREILER

editor emeritus associate editor staff writer staff writer

I’VE HEARD A FEW PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT JULY 4 BEING ON A WEDNESDAY THIS YEAR (MYSELF INCLUDED). But really, I

think a break midweek will be perfect; it’s right when you start to dream about the weekend. My husband and I both really enjoy this holiday … just maybe for different reasons. He loves the fireworks. I mean, loves them. He’s like a 6-year-old in a candy store at the fireworks stand, and it’s not helpful that he has an actual 6-year-old and a 9-year-old encouraging his every purchase. While I appreciate a great show in the sky, I love the energy surrounding this particular holiday, its meaning. We all head down to the family lake house with my in-laws and enjoy a long weekend of swimming, boating, fireworks on the lake and watching the kids have the time of their lives. This year, we’ll be back in town to enjoy all of the festivities at Fair St. Louis as well. And yes, I’m looking forward to the spectacular fireworks display under the Arch, which always seems more magical than anywhere else in town. Whatever you’re doing for the 4th, I hope you reflect on what the day is all about. Let’s remember what it really means to be an American: to be accepting, welcoming, compassionate and honest so that everyone can feel the energy I mentioned above.

If you’re traveling around the holiday or any time this summer, you’ll want to stay up to date with Town&Style because you’ll notice some new features. This issue, we’re starting our column with local life coach experts Beth Chesterton and Jill Farmer, The Honest Truth. They’ll answer questions about everything from showing appreciation to accepting criticism with real, honest answers; it’s advice you don’t have to pay for! And next issue, our beloved Talk of the Towns columnist Bill Beggs Jr. will switch things up by including Notable Neighbors, a new spotlight on an individual in a St. Louis community who is doing something remarkable—whether it’s fitnessfocused, career-related, an interesting hobby, community service initiative ... the list goes on. If you know of someone who deserves to be called out, let us know! Just email tellus@townandstyle.com.

AROUND ONE IN EVERY 59 CHILDREN IN THE U.S. HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Those impacted can face daily difficulties with communication, learning and interacting with the world. It is the mission of the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders at the University of Missouri-Columbia to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by ASD and similar conditions through research, clinical services and education. The Thompson Foundation for Autism is an active partner in supporting the center’s initiatives.

“I’m really proud to be a part of an organization that provides quality services to families in need,” says Emma Keicher, senior behavior analyst at the Thompson Center. Keicher works in the center’s severe behavior clinic, which helps children dealing with issues like aggression, property destruction and self-harm. “Many of our clients have been kicked out of school, and other providers cannot treat them because of the severity of their behaviors,” she says. “There are not many clinics that are able to provide the assessment and treatment we can, thanks to the support of the university.”

Since its founding in 2015, the clinic has treated 23 children. Clients come three days a week for two-hour, one-on-one sessions. Treatment begins with an assessment using functional analysis, according to Keicher. “We determine the function of the problem behavior,” she explains. “Often, the child’s goal is to get access to something he or she wants. We teach appropriate replacement behaviors and how to tolerate delay.” To ensure the interventions can be implemented in clients’ everyday lives, they also are taught to parents, caretakers and school staff.

Carrie Kremer knows first-hand the positive impact the severe behavior clinic can have. The St. Louisan is a mother of five, and her daughter Lilly was diagnosed with ASD at age 3. As Lilly got older, difficulties communicating led to frustration, aggressive behavior and self-harm, Kremer says. “It was like she was in her own little world,” she explains.

“She wouldn’t engage with us and wasn’t meeting her goals at school.” Like all families, the Kremers wanted to give Lilly the best quality of life possible, so they brought her to the Thompson Center. She went to the severe behavior clinic for eight months, and the results were tremendous, according to Kremer. She says Lilly now engages with the family, plays with her siblings, and tries different ways of communicating with her teacher and classmates. “It has been an amazing transformation,” Kremer says. “We have been blessed beyond words to work with the clinic’s therapists and doctors. They never gave up on Lilly, which gave us hope.”

Services like these are possible thanks to the support of the foundation. The nonprofit’s largest annual fundraiser is its Heroes Among Us gala, to be held Sept. 28 at Meadowbrook Country Club. The evening will include dinner, a wine pull, and live and silent auctions. The event is presented in partnership with the St. Louis Blues. Former Blues right winger Scott Mellanby and his wife, Sue, are honorary co-chairs, and they will share their family’s personal journey with autism. &

the question posed by the classic, eponymous slasher flick (think hockey mask and bloody blade) and its sequels, while others challenge the sensibilities of your run-of-the-mill, quivering triskaidekaphobic (someone with extreme superstition of the number … you guessed it … 13). An array of exclusive creations will be for sale. Other stuff is not quite so scary: The St. Louis Hoop Club, the Aalim Belly Dance troupe, top spinning, Circus Kaput, face painting and performances by Shakespeare Festival St. Louis actors.

THE GROVE 〉〉

MAPLEWOOD 〉〉

Mark your calendar … actually, Maplewood’s annual July celebration, Let Them Eat Art, is coming up quickly, so maybe you should set your alarm! (If you’re not too smart, but your phone is, both apps are right on there.) Typically, this unique street fest is loosely themed around Bastille Day, celebrated in France every July 14, but it falls on Friday the 13th this year. Anyone intent on celebrating Bastille Day is welcome to, officially, on Saturday. They celebrate it in Montreal, too. Despite certain grumbling and tweets to the contrary, France and Canada are still our friends (unlike an Asian dictator, the president’s newest buddy … that is, last week). Are we scared that the 13th annual art fest is on Friday the 13th?

Well, the ’Wood has always staged it in fine style, pulling out all the stops short of actually beheading Marie Antoinette at Manchester Avenue and Sutton Boulevard. Many of the 50 artists slated for Friday have completed works that evoke anything that freaks out the superstitious … broken mirrors, black cats, walking under ladders, opening umbrellas indoors … and, of course, Friday the 13th itself.

Seems the stars have aligned for an enchanting selfguided tour of live art, music and entertainment, plus restaurant specials and merchant open houses.

Performing in the kids’ section of Sutton Loop Park will be The Opera Bell Band, and other musical entertainment includes Hobo Cane featuring Javier Mendoza, Farshid Etniko, Powerplay Band, Acoustik Element, Neil and Adam, and Saint Boogie Brass Band. A couple of art demonstrations will address

JUNE 27, 2018

Riding around the streets of St. Louis with thousands of like-minded lunatics sounds fun, especially after midnight. Right? I did it one warm August night a while back, and maybe you’ve done it a few times yourself. A solitary cyclist pedaled on the first Moonlight Ramble 55 years ago, which was called the Midnight Ramble at the time. (If you’ve ever tried to decipher Mick Jagger’s mumbling through “Midnight Rambler,” the Stones’ ominous epic on their 1969 album Let It Bleed, you’ll have a good idea why they changed the name.) Hold that thought: If you were looking forward to the 55th annual bicycle ride … not a race, ever … it ain’t gonna roll this summer because of some mishegas with radio stations changing hands, safety concerns, yada-yadayada. Don’t cry for me, Argentina. But, and we do mean butt, if you’ve really got a jones for saddle soreness, another leisurely ride is here before you know it: On July 21, you may take part in the 11th annual World Naked Bike Ride in St. Louis, which starts in The Grove at Manchester and Kentucky avenues. At 4 p.m., you can rub elbows—and elbows only, mind you—with your partly clothed brethren and sistren before y’all get rolling, as bare as you dare except for a helmet, at 6 p.m. Allow us to emphasize that full birthday suits are not acceptable attire for the pre- and post-party. Once riders take to the streets, bare-nakedness is just fine with us, if it’s OK with you. Meanwhile, speaking of bicycles, we’ve been keeping an eye out for any rental ‘bike-share’ LimeBikes and ofo cycles that have ventured outside the limits of The Lou. At least four have, so far, since they arrived in town in April. A solitary LimeBike was spotted in the western hinterlands of U. City

recently. Then, just a few days later, a loyal reader texted his photo of another that had made it even farther out: The vivid green-and-yellow machine was parked on the shoulder of Clayton Road, right across from Ladue Chapel. At this writing, two brightyellow ofo cycles were awaiting their next riders in Tilles Park on McKnight Road.

AFFTON 〉〉

In golf, do fat ladies sing? If so, the fat lady will sing in a week or so (July 10) for Tower Tee, the venerable par 3 course, driving range, batting cages—did we miss anything?—that has been operating down yonder in Affton since 1964. Times have changed.

I mean, there used to be a drive-in theater not too far west on Watson Road across from what would become the now-defunct Crestwood Plaza. (The 66 Park-In was razed in 1994 to make way for a center that today includes Schnucks, Best Buy and Starbucks.) The 27 acres that Tower Tee occupies is owned by media company Tegna, parent company of KMOV-TV (Channel 5), which sold the acreage to home builders. The adjacent red-and-white broadcast tower that, well, towers over the vast green space is from whence the complex—which had leased the property—got its name. A sales trailer will be installed soon, or may have been by the time you read this. Maybe you’d like to check out what’s up with the 150-odd homes McBride Berra Land Co. has planned.

Arbors at Tower Tee is the name the company, a joint venture by McBride & Son Homes and developer J.H. Berra, has dubbed the subdivision. The two companies also came together for the neighborhood across Gravois Road from Grant’s Farm in Affton. If it makes you feel any better as a hometown guy or gal who wishes things would stay the same, reportedly Tegna is to donate the $4 million proceeds from the sale to charities nationwide. (What? Why not just in the metro?) Anyhow, there are many who still may have fond memories of another StL icon replaced by a subdivision, the Coral Courts, although some are loath to provide details. Could be they’re just bashful architecture aficionados. I mean, the storied Route 66 motel featured units with attached garages.

BALLWIN 〉〉

By the time you read this, the black bear sighted a few weeks ago in the woods near a Ballwin subdivision will have consumed all of the nasty food waste it could find in the trash, or moved back into ‘pick-a-nicking’ territory à la Yogi and Boo-Boo. However, this isn’t a Hanna-Barbera cartoon. It’s for real. Besides, anyone who lives in one of our westernmost suburbs has to accept the presence of wild animals, including larger carnivores on occasion. After all, they were there first, and as subdivisions crop up unabated, their territory shrinks. Residents of Ballwin, Wildwood, Town and Country, Chesterfield and unincorporated county coveted that extra acreage to spread out, to

thrill at the wooded backyard, to give their horses room to graze … but with that comes critterage, and not only the species that suburbanites lament as a neighborhood nuisance for nibbling on the hosta and ornamental trees. (We hope ursine-conscious Ballwin residents thought to remove any larger koi or salmon from the fish pond.) As late-night TV host Stephen Colbert reminds us, marauding bears pose the greatest threat to U.S. security. Alright, already: Thank you for ‘bearing’ with all of that because—seriously, folks—police issued a news release warning residents on the city’s south side to keep their animals inside, bring in trash cans and otherwise keep an eye out for the black bear, which was last reported the evening of June 17 ambling through the common ground area between the Castle Pines Subdivision and Oak Run Lane.

SOUTH COUNTY 〉〉

What’s in a name? Millions upon millions if the name used to be St. Anthony’s Medical Center.

‘Tony’ officially becomes Mercy Hospital South Oct. 1. Meanwhile, Mercy is moving forward with plans to build a $54 million, 70,000-square-foot, two-story, stand-alone cancer center on campus, as well as commit $20 million for nine new Mercy Clinic primary care locations to be built over the next two years in South County, Jefferson County and Monroe County, Illinois. The first two buildings in Barnhart and Hillsboro are projected to open this winter. The cancer center is slated to open late next year and will include a connector to the hospital; the project will require changes to the on-campus roadways. With its HQ in Chesterfield, Mercy serves communities across four states with approximately 45 acute care and specialty hospitals—cancer, heart, children’s orthopedic, and rehab—and more than 800 physician practices and outpatient facilities. & TT TRIVIA | HOW DOES TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA, THE IRRATIONAL FEAR OF THE NUMBER 13, FIGURE INTO BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, A PECULIARITY MOST OBVIOUS IN ELEVATORS?

an apology. Somehow Father’s Day got past me. Yes, I write these columns well in advance of their publication, but I usually am pretty good at noting special occasions.

When I realized I failed to recognize it, I felt bad. My dad has been gone for a long time, but he’s not forgotten.

I think about Jack Fitzgerald nearly every day.

The other day I was sitting at my desk when out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw my dad. It was my husband. If you knew both of them, you would know how truly bizarre this is. My dad was a 6-foot-3-inch Irishman who later in life had only one ear. My husband is 5 feet 9 inches and is of average build with two ears. What struck me was that my husband now dresses like my dad used to, including the pulled-up white socks and topsiders.

My dad embarrassed me with his style: plaids and stripes (as long as they were in the same color family) could be worn together. Shorts were preferred over long pants except when going to Mass, and clothes were not replaced until they were worn out—literally, with holes.

I am happy to report that my husband does not mix plaids and stripes, and that's all I will say about his style.

Our daughter is often embarrassed by his choices, but I no longer think they are all that odd.

My dad never met anything he couldn’t fix with duct tape or a piece of used chewing gum. I remember seeing a repairman in our house only once or twice because dad could always fix it … but not really.

It was jerry-rigged to hold on for another day or week.

My husband also has never met anything he can’t fix.

Now, fortunately for me, Carey actually knows what he is doing, so I don’t have the same fear of light switches that I used to.

My dad drove a car like it was some sort of pinball arcade game. When he taught me to drive, he told me to never, ever hit the brakes on the highway. He believed people should merge, shift lanes or anything else to avoid tapping the brakes. If you tapped the brakes, you could cause an accident, he warned. No accidents would happen, though, if you zigged and zagged across the highway, cutting off people left and right as they honked and flipped you off. When Carey and I take long trips, I often sit in the back seat because he apparently attended the same driving school as my father. His friend Jeff always says, “The shortest distance between two points is Carey Hannum driving.” If only there were brakes on the passenger side of the car.

Bottom line, I married my dad. But here is the thing: That’s OK, because I adored my dad. He was the one who made me believe I was incredibly smart and could do anything I wanted and who showed me the value of hard work and treating people fairly. And I am delighted that my own daughter has a father who is doing the same thing for her. Daughters need their dads. So, sorry I am late, dad. But I know you know that I was thinking about you on June 17. Happy belated Father’s Day to all you dads!

THE HONEST TRUTH EXPERT COACHING ADVICE FROM ...

jill farmer & beth chesterton

THE NAME GAME A colleague at my new job has the same first name as I do.

He wants me to go by my middle name to avoid confusion.

I don’t like my middle name. What should I do?

Jill: Maybe your co-worker has forgotten that the job of

naming you was done by your parents—when you were born!

Wondering if you should change your name for someone else’s convenience could be a sign you’re willing to give up your autonomy a little too easily.

As a recovering approval addict, I can tell you—doing things you don’t want to do just to make other people happy will decimate your self-worth. Plus, you could get resentful, which can be poisonous for you and the people you’re trying to please.

A clear and friendly boundary is called for here: “Thanks for the suggestion, but I’m going to stick with my name. We can add a last initial to clarify if it gets confusing.”

Beth: What Jill said. Don’t be a doormat. The fact that

you’re asking this question may be a canary in a coal mine.

I’m guessing there are other places in your life where you accommodate people to the point of being a martyr.

Trust me, you cannot thrive from that position. If you have trouble recognizing the difference between being a nice guy and being a doormat, you need a trusted friend or thinking partner to help you see it. Let us know how it goes.

My 12-year-old daughter wants to change her name.

What do you think?

Jill: When my daughter, who is now a high school senior, was

9, she wanted to start using her middle name. She sent us an email saying, “Heretofore, I will be known as Jane.”

My husband and I incredulously told her she didn’t just get to rename herself. Friends shared tales of regrettable adolescent name changes that resulted in change-backs as they matured.

But our daughter’s wise teacher encouraged us to keep the conversation open. After weeks of debating, my daughter looked me in the eye and said, “I like my first name. But Jane is the name that feels like the real me.” There wasn’t much I could say to that. She’s been Jane ever since.

Beth: When I hear about a young girl who has the desire and the moxie to change her name, I want to have a tickertape parade. Lots of girls dream of changing their names, but few have the sales and marketing skills (not to mention follow-through) needed to get their parents, teachers and friends to buy in. Any 12-year-old who has the tenacity to get it done and the resilience to overcome the objections gets my vote.

SPRING

SPORTS WRAP-UP by bill hester

HISTORY WAS MADE ON THE COURT AND TRACK THIS SPRING by area student athletes. Parkway South tennis star Carson Haskins became the first player in 30 years to win four state singles championships, doing so in dominant fashion. John Burroughs standout Brandon Miller set an All-Class state record by winning the Class 3 800-meter run. Below are more highlights from a stellar spring season.

TENNIS 〉〉

BOYS TRACK 〉〉

Carson Haskins of PARKWAY SOUTH arguably cemented himself as the best high school tennis player in the history of Missouri with his fourth consecutive Class 2 singles title at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield. He became just the second player in state history to win four titles. Clayton’s Michael Johnston won four championships from 1985-1988.

But the way Haskins did so is what may separate him from other players in the past. He played 94 matches in high school. He won 94 matches. He played 188 sets.

He won 188 sets.

Haskins defeated Carson Gates of Staley High School in the championship match for the third year in a row. Gates, who is headed to Michigan State to play tennis, had a career high school record of 86-3. All three losses were to Haskins, who will play tennis in the fall at Indiana University.

Area players swept the two singles championships in the individual phase of the tournament. MICDS freshman Evan Erb won the Class 1 title, defeating fellow freshman Rory Sutter of JOHN BURROUGHS in the championship match.

CBC ’s A.J. Woodman, who won the doubles championship last year with Clayton Maack, went the singles route this year. He finished third in Class 2. His only losses during the year came against Haskins and Gates.

John Burroughs had a fantastic season as a team. The Bombers won their first state team title since 2004, capturing the Class EVAN ERB (CENTER) 1 championship by defeating Pembroke Hill in the semifinals and Springfield Catholic in the championship match. Following the team title, all five team qualifiers medaled in the individual tournament: Sutter got second in singles, Akash Rajan and Matthew Fan were second in doubles, and Sam Wang and Dev Nayak were fifth in doubles. The future appears bright for the Bombers as Sutter, Rajan, Wang and Nayak were all freshmen.

Two other area teams made it to the final four as a team, with CLAYTON coming in fourth in Class 1 and PARKWAY CENTRAL doing the same in Class 2.

Brandon Miller of JOHN BURROUGHS was the individual standout at the state meet at Jefferson City High School. His time of 1:49.55 is now the record for the 800 meters in Class 3 and across the state. Miller also won the 1,600-meter run and ran a leg in the 1,600-meter relay in which Burroughs finished second. The Bombers had an area-best ninth place finish in Class 3.

MAPLEWOOD finished second in Class 2 behind Cleveland NJROTC. Zach Barton and Malik Stewart led the way for the Blue Devils. Barton won the 100-meter dash; Stewart won the 1,600-meter run, finished second in the 800-meter run and ran a leg along with Jaylen Burdine, Dylan Ford and Logan MacDonald in the firstplace 4x800-meter relay. Maplewood also finished second in the 4x400meter relay.

MICDS ’ Joshua Sutton had a pair of state titles in Class 4 in the 100-meter and 200-meter dash. PARKWAY NORTH had a couple of impressive efforts in the hurdles. Jekeel Suber won the 110-meter hurdles, and David Buckner was second in the 300-meter hurdles. LADUE had the best team result in Class 4, finishing 10th.

Ladue’s Elliot Lorenz was second in the high jump.

Two area athletes won gold medals in Class 5: KIRKWOOD ’s Martin Strong in the 800-meter run and LAFAYETTE ’s Nassim Oufattole in the 1,600-meter. Kirkwood had the best area finish in Class 5, ranking fourth as a team. Lafayette was eighth.

NASSIM OUFATTOLE

GIRLS TRACK 〉〉 MICDS and JOHN BURROUGHS each won team titles at the state meet.

MICDS won the Class 3 championship in convincing fashion, finishing with 88 points. Washington finished a distant second with 55 points. WEBSTER GROVES was fourth.

Cara Johnson and Jhordin Galmore led the way for the Rams. Johnson was first in the 100-meter dash and second behind Galmore in the 200-meter dash. Galmore also won the 400-meter dash.

That domination continued in the sprint relays. Galmore and Johnson teamed with Krysten Holmes and Zionn Pearson to win the 400-meter relay. The dynamic duo also were part of the champion 800-meter relay with Holmes and Zuri Thomas.

The Rams also finished third in the 1600-meter relay, which was won by Webster’s team of Brittany Clark, Emma Kelly, Molly Nash and Angeline Arinze.

The win by John Burroughs in Class 2 was much closer and a bit of a surprise.

The Bombers finished with 62 points just ahead of CARDINAL RITTER with 59 points. PRINCIPIA finished 10th in Class 2.

TOWN TALK

BASEBALL 〉〉

Bria Ward was the lone individual champion for the Bombers in the triple jump.

Principia’s Busina Asinga was the individual star in Class 2. Asinga won the 300-meter hurdles, finished second in the 100-meter dash and was third in the 200-meter dash.

NERINX HALL ’s Courtney Williams was the only area champion in Class 5. She won the 400-meter dash and was second in the 100 and third in the 200. The Markers had the best area team finish at 12th place.

There were no area champions or top 10 teams in Class 2, although MAPLEWOOD ’s Jayda Buchanan was second in both the 400 and 800.

WATER POLO 〉〉 ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY HIGH continues its strong track record in the pool.

The Junior Bills defeated Parkway West 15-4 to capture the Missouri Water Polo Championship. It was the 33rd straight final four appearance for SLUH, which lost just one of its 27 matches this season. The championship was its 20th; the team has won 11 of the last 17 titles.

LACROSSE 〉〉 It was a sweep of the boys’ and girls’ titles this spring for MICDS . The Rams boys kept their streak of not losing to a team from Missouri in the last five seasons intact and finished 20-2 overall. They defeated St. Louis University High 13-1 in the Missouri Scholastic Lacrosse Association title game at Lindenwood University.

Graham Bundy Jr. led the way for the Rams, setting a single-season record for points.

The MICDS girls also continued their dominance, finishing 19-2 and defeating Marquette 20-7 in the championship game at Westminster Christian.

MICDS also was undefeated against Missouri opponents, winning all 17 of its matches.

Fifteen of those came by 10 goals or more. The Rams won their final 18 matches overall.

The MSLA title was the 12th overall for the girls and their fifth in the last six seasons.

PHOTO COURTESY OF VIANNEY HIGH SCHOOL

COURTNEY WILLIAMS (CENTER)

VIANNEY concluded its magical season with a school record for wins (37 against just two losses) and its third state championship. The Griffins defeated Blue Springs South 5-3 in the semifinals and Columbia Hickman 8-2 in the Class 5 title game at Car Shield Park in O’Fallon.

Vianney, which won its final 13 games, had last won state in 2004 and 2006. The Griffins were led by senior and University of Missouri recruit Luke Mann, who was the dominant pitcher in the area with a 10-0 record and 1.09 ERA. He also was one of the top hitters, finishing second in the entire area in home runs and RBI. Mann, who hit a crucial three-run homer in the first inning of the semifinal win, was named the 2018 Gatorade Player of the Year in Missouri.

DE SMET reached the final four in Class 5 as well. The Spartans, who finished 21-9, were fourth, losing a tight third place game to Blue Springs South, 4-3. No other area teams reached the final four.

VALLEY PARK had an outstanding year, winning the Class 3 District 6 title. The Hawks were led by the one-two pitching punch of Austin Schmitt and Fischer Rausch. Schmitt had 103 strikeouts in 49 innings, while Rausch had 98 in 44 innings. Rausch allowed only three runs in 44 innings, posting an area best 0.48 ERA. JOHN BURROUGHS and WESTMINSTER CHRISTIAN won district titles in Class 4, and LAFAYETTE joined Vianney and De Smet with Class 5 district LUKE MANN championships.

GIRLS SOCCER 〉〉 ROCKWOOD SUMMIT won its first-ever state championship this spring. The Falcons won the Class 3 title. They defeated one-loss Kearney in the semifinals 2-0.

Summit capped off its 19-2-3 season with a 1-0 win over Incarnate Word in an all-St. Louis final.

PRINCIPIA finished second in Class 1, losing to defending champion St. Vincent 2-0. It finished its season with a 10-9 record.

A handful of teams had impressive seasons but didn’t advance to the final four.

MAPLEWOOD had a 12-game winning streak and finished 21-4-1. They were eliminated in the Class 1 quarterfinals by eventual champion St. Vincent.

WESTMINSTER , led by state diving champion Margo O’Meara, was 16-4. Parkway West was 15-5-1; all of the team’s wins were shutouts by Erika Anstine.

NERINX HALL and ST. JOSEPH’S ACADEMY were championship-quality teams. St. Joe’s, which finished 18-4-2, knocked out Nerinx in overtime in the sectional round and then was defeated in the quarterfinals by Eureka. St. Joe’s scored 70 goals and gave up just 12 as Emily Meara led the area in save percentage and was second in goals against average.

Nerinx, which won its first 13 games, finished with a stellar 21-2 record, scoring 66 goals and giving up just 12.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL 〉〉

SLUH and PARKWAY CENTRAL captured championships at Webster Groves High School. For the fourth year in a row, it was SLUH and LAFAYETTE in the Class 4 championship. And for the third time, the Junior Bills captured the title, winning in straight sets. The Junior Bills finished with a perfect 33-0 record, and Lafayette finished at 28-5.

The Class 3 championship match was also a repeat as Parkway Central defeated St. Mary’s 25-20, 27-25 as the Colts won for the second year in a row. Parkway Central finished the season at 31-6, and St. Mary’s was 30-5-1. & MICDS

TREND REPORT from L.A. by marylyn simpson

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

pretty, pretty princess sleeves » Whether accentuating a crop top or maxi dress, princess sleeves are no longer reserved for fairy tales or retro costumes. One of my favorite interpretations of the trend is Self Portrait’s latest collection featuring asymmetrical princess sleeves. The Floral Fil Coupe Ruffled Jumpsuit is the perfect example of updating a classic style for the modern woman.

Off the shoulder, fitted and frilly, the brand nails the look.

yes to sweat » ‘Sweating it out’ has taken on new meaning thanks to Shapehouse.

An urban sweat lodge, Shapehouse is a place where busy Angelenos can sweat out the day’s stresses in their own 165-degree cocoon.

Upon arrival, guests are given thick socks and a sweat suit to change into.

For the next 55 minutes, they lie in nylon sleeping bags on a bed similar to a massage table. Glowing skin and stress reduction are just two of the reported benefits.

gotta have daith »

PHOTO: BEAU ROULETTE

Ear piercings have had a renaissance recently. From constellation piercings (placed to look like a constellation) to multiple linear, upper lobe piercings, the sky is the limit. For L.A. girls, the daith piercing, one that passes through the innermost cartilage fold, is where it’s at. Unlike the rusty silver hoop and ball earrings of yesteryear, jewelry designers have caught on to the trend to create beautiful gold and gemstone-embellished earrings specifically for the daith. It’s an unexpected and dramatic way to step up your piercing game without resorting to extremes.

fancy feet »

art for miles » L.A. is famous for its street art, so it makes sense that the exhibit Beyond the Streets would make its home in the City of Angels. Paintings, sculptures, photography, installations and more are showcased in a 40,000-square-foot industrial indoor and outdoor space downtown. BANKSY, Shepard Fairey, AIKO and Guerrilla Girls are just a few examples of the legendary artists whose work is displayed.

Custom sandal store Amanu in West Hollywood is taking an old school concept and updating it for today’s fast-fashion world. Customers can choose from one of 10 core styles available in black or nude and pick the color for the leather straps.

Then, in-store cobblers custom-fit the shoe to their foot, and the sandals are ready within 30 minutes. It’s a genius concept, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Amanu starts popping up in other major U.S. cities soon.

IF YOU’RE ALREADY A FAN OF PUBLIC RADIO, you know

how great it is: thoughtful news analysis all day long, plus interesting on-air programs like Science Friday, The Moth Radio Hour and This American Life. If you’re not a listener, that could change once you realize just how much St. Louis Public Radio offers. For one thing, its home in Grand Center includes a remarkable outdoor communal area called the Public Media Commons, complete with two-story screens that provide a backdrop for all kinds of fun, from al fresco viewing of classic movies and Cardinals games to free tango lessons with scores of like-minded St. Louisans.

Indoors, there’s a Community Room that hosts some pretty cool programs, too, including a recent live broadcast of St. Louis on the Air featuring NPR Mideast correspondent Daniel Estrin. A graduate of Solomon Schechter Day School and Ladue Horton Watkins High School, Estrin has been reporting from the Middle East for more than 10 years for such venerable news outlets as the BBC, The World and the Associated Press.

About 100 people scored tickets to the special event, watching the hometowner being interviewed for an hour by the show’s host, Don Marsh. The $25 admission included boxed lunch from Butler’s Pantry, a pre-show presentation by Estrin and a meetand-greet afterward.

It was a rare opportunity to hear directly from a reporter who has observed the Israeli-Palestinian world at close range for years. Plus, questions from the audience were encouraged. So what did Estrin have to say? For one thing, he wanted us to know that “there are clearly many other stories in the Middle East besides violence and tension.” His longtime goal, he said, was to tell stories about people, not ideas. “You meet so many voices out in the field, and the differences are not only between Israelis and Palestinians, but within in each group,” he said.

As for the current anti-media climate, Estrin said he has nothing but the highest regard for his colleagues, sharing with the audience what their ‘day-to-day’ is like. “We get up, we read all the news, we verify each fact. I’m calling officials and checking logs in hospitals. We’re out in the field under the hot sun for hours.” Nothing fake about that. When he was asked whether the seemingly endless conflict would ever get better, he responded with the proverbial good news-bad news answer.

“The good news is, Israeli food keeps getting better,” he said.

“The bad news is that Israelis and Palestinians are becoming more isolated from each other. For generations they had contact with each other. They worked together. Not so now.” After decades of suicide bombings, police violence and encroaching settlements, Palestinians are rarely allowed into Israeli areas, and Israelis don’t venture into Palestinian ones. “As an American journalist, I’m really lucky I can go into Gaza,” he said. “It’s a privilege for me to be able to share their stories—both Israeli and Palestinian.” After the program, I felt the same way: It’s a privilege to be able to hear their stories. Thanks, public radio.

BETTER FIX

SSM HEALTH ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL by julia m. johnson IT'S ESTIMATED THAT 20 PERCENT OF ADULTS IN THE U.S. SUFFER FROM

acid reflux, a condition with uncomfortable symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, difficulty swallowing and regurgitation of food or liquid. Known medically as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), it causes sphincter muscles at the top of the stomach to weaken, according to SSM Health surgeon Dr. Laura Grimmer. Digestive acid then leaks backward and irritates the lining of the esophagus.

Some GERD patients also have a chronic cough, laryngitis, asthma or trouble sleeping; occasionally, regurgitated stomach acid even enters the lungs. The condition may worsen because of stress, medication, diet, smoking, pregnancy and other factors, says Grimmer, who sees patients at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital. Common diet triggers include fried and fatty foods, citrus fruits, chocolate, coffee, alcohol and carbonated drinks. If GERD goes untreated, it can lead to ulcers, scarring or esophageal cancer in some people.

A new minimally invasive surgical procedure called LINX, an alternative to acid suppression drugs, is offering patients relief. LINX places a flexible ring around the bottom of the esophagus to help the sphincter muscles stay closed when they’re supposed to, and open when food passes through. The procedure is permanent, and the quarter-sized ring is made of smooth titanium beads with magnetic cores so it can expand and contract like an elastic bracelet. “Its job is to strengthen the sphincter,” Grimmer explains. “The procedure was approved by the FDA in 2012 and is steadily being adopted by more practices. St. Mary’s is the second hospital to offer it in St. Louis.”

DR. LAURA GRIMMER ADVISES A PATIENT.

First, doctors run lab, endoscopy and manometry (esophageal muscle function) tests to determine if LINX is the right choice for the patient. If so, they perform the procedure through four small incisions in the abdomen. Most patients can go home the same day and eat a normal diet, Grimmer says. For a week after the procedure, they need to eat more often to keep the ring moving and flexing. Otherwise, there are no lifestyle restrictions, she notes.

Other GERD surgeries involve manipulation and dissection of the esophagus and stomach, and they often take longer to perform and heal from, Grimmer explains. And according to the manufacturer, the LINX device doesn’t interfere with MRI tests or airport metal detectors.

“I’ve been doing reflux surgeries for a long time, but I never had the condition myself until I became pregnant,” she recalls. “It’s no joke! It gave me a new understanding of what my patients were going through.” Reflux often happens temporarily in pregnancy because of shifting organs in the abdomen, she says.

Recent LINX studies show that most patients have no heartburn symptoms three years after the procedure, Grimmer adds. “Many people don’t want to be on acid-suppressing drugs for the rest of their lives,” she says. “Ninety percent of LINX patients never need them again.” &

the favorites

Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Peach Pit Beans, Smoked Chocolate Chip Cookie

THIS IS A FREESTANDING SPOT AT THE CORNER OF KIRKWOOD ROAD and Big Bend Boulevard, formerly Steak & Rice Chinese restaurant. It has a warm, friendly feel, and the food is delicious.

In some cases, it’s a little more guilt-free than the typical barbecue fare. There is a Macro Menu featuring lean protein, fish, sugar-free slaw and clean roasted potatoes, as well as a steamed veggie of the day. That’s not to say you won’t find calorie-loaded dishes like Pit Nachos and Battered Seasoned Fries.

It’s set up like a chuck wagon inside, with darker woods, booths and some tables that resemble stagecoach seats. It’s spacious, so chances are once you’ve made it through the ordering line (which can move slowly), you’ll find a seat. There are no fewer than seven different barbecue sauces, from Carolina Mustard to Fire Honey Pit, and you can serve yourself at the sauce station. Plus, there are about eight rotating sides offered at any given time, including several fresh veggies. All meals include at least one side.

I went for the Honey Pit Sampler Platter ($22.99), the Cadillac of meals here, which includes 4 ounces each of brisket, pulled pork and turkey, as well as a sausage link and a four-bone rib. Oh, and two sides and a drink. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The typically fat-laden barbecued meats came well-trimmed, but still very flavorful. The website touts several awards earned for the spot’s unique blend of smoking woods, which impart subtle flavor.

In fact, the brisket was so tasty that I barely sauced it, and the pulled pork was devoid of annoying strands of fat. The ribs, however, were lean and not as meaty as I would have liked. A smoked salmon filet had excellent flavor and texture. The smoked turkey was delicious, and I understand it is often the first thing they run out of. It had great flavor, just slightly smoky, and retained its moisture. Try it with the Carolina sauce and the Honey Pit Original.

Among the sides, I found the Macro Slaw flavored with too much vinegar, and it was discolored.

But the rich Smoked Peach Pit Beans were yummy, sweetened by chunks of canned peaches. The cornbread was a rather sweet muffin, but good. Sautéed Green Beans were buttery and tasty, and the Krazy Korn (mixed with red and green pepper bits) was very good.

Dessert includes ice cream offerings, gooey butter cake, pie and chocolate chip cookies claiming to be ‘smoked.’ I didn’t detect that promised flavor, but they were delicious, crisp and salted. A slice of apple crumb pie was perfectly sweet with a flaky crust. &

I DO! I DO! ORIGINALLY WAS WRITTEN FOR MARY MARTIN AND ROBERT PRESTON in the 1960s and has been remodeled in various ways over the years, from the original Broadway show to a TV version with Lee Remick and Hal Linden. There was serious talk of Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke starring in a 1970 film adaptation, and Carol Burnett and Rock Hudson staged the play at The Muny in 1974. You can tell just how beloved a story is when headliners like those are attached to it!

This was my first experience with Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt’s Tony Award-nominated, two-character musical about the ups and downs of marriage, and I didn’t know much about the story—but that allowed me the heady opportunity for a pleasing surprise. I wanted to absorb the tale in a completely fresh way, and it didn’t disappoint. STAGES’ first play of the 2018 season, directed and choreographed by Michael Hamilton, stars two casts on alternating dates—Kari Ely and David Schmittou, and Corinne Melançon and Steve Isom. Ely and Schmittou were on stage the night I attended, and upcoming shows » they embraced the roles of husband Michael and wife Agnes with a great deal of energy.

Mary Poppins Jr. | June 29 & 30 A musical based on the stories The two sing and dance their way through marriage, of P.L. Travers and the Disney film first clumsily getting to know each other in 1895 and Washington University’s Edison Theatre then surviving the vicissitudes of a changing and challenging relationship over the next 50 years. There End of the Rainbow | Through July 1 are equal measures of playfulness, affection, doubt and Broadway hit about the later years pain, the same with any actual married couple. The story of Judy Garland’s career The Grandel Theatre takes place in the pair’s bedroom, moving from their first home to a larger one as their family grows and Michael’s Jersey Boys | July 9-16 career as an author takes off. It’s the most intimate space Award-winning musical about two people can share, so it’s also where many of their Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons toughest conflicts arise.

The Muny Various life stages are reflected in the bedroom scenes, from baby clothes drying on a line to children’s belongings strewn about. In one scene, the couple breaks out their old violin and saxophone to entertain the crowd with some hilariously terrible music.

In another, Agnes asserts her independence by parading around in a ridiculously huge, ornately feathered hat she’s been dying to wear. Costumes change with the decades, and favorite tunes like “My Cup Runneth Over” and “Nobody’s Perfect” round out the whimsical and colorful production.

Neither Ely nor Schmittou has the least bit of trouble morphing from nervous newlywed to elderly adult as the story progresses. In fact, both are endearing and appealing from start to finish.

My favorite scene is the one in which the characters perform their own makeup and wig transitions to old age on stage in front of everyone. It’s a brilliant way to let the audience become personally involved with their lives. &

t Mueller Prost, client service and a family-first atmosphere are equally important, along with delivering professional tax, audit, accounting and consulting services for privately held companies worldwide. The firm’s size offers a unique advantage and a very personal focus. It only has three offices—two in the St. Louis area and one in Irvine, California—with 180 employees.

Doug Mueller, president and partner, says the company’s driving principles are evident in many ways, but achieving them begins with the men and women who make it all possible. He and other firm leaders go out of their way not only to get to know staff members and their spouses, but to help them achieve a healthy balance between their personal lives and daily work. “When people are here, they’re here,” Mueller says. “They’re not distracted.”

Because work during the winter season can require longer hours, employees who meet or exceed their goals can qualify to have Fridays off during the warmer months,

“

DOUG MUELLER, PRESIDENT AND PARTNER

generally from around Memorial Day to the end of August. And for those who are unable to keep up with household chores during more stressful seasonal cycles, Mueller Prost provides housekeeping services twice a month for employees who qualify.

Perks like these provide the kind of motivation that keeps employees sharp and on task, Mueller says. And since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 has begun taking effect for U.S. clients, the firm’s collective talent is needed more than ever.

The law is the most significant tax reform effort in the past 30 years and touches everything from business deductions to charitable giving, Mueller explains. Its proven to be vague in areas, so the firm is waiting for guidance from the U.S. Treasury to help clients understand how their lives and businesses will be affected. But despite the

And here we are now, blessed with a lot of good clients and talented staff.

”

law’s vagaries, it is a prime example of how Mueller Prost plans for all possible scenarios on behalf of its clients, Mueller says, which differentiates the firm from others.

In most cases, potential clients view CPA firms more or less equally, but Mueller Prost is able to stand out by keeping promises, treating clients well and focusing on planning. Those values originate with the firm’s founding in 1983, when Mueller and Michael Prost, vice president and managing partner, started the company in Prost’s basement over a pingpong table that doubled as a desk. The two men were young entrepreneurs who became inspired to launch their own business after Prost attended a seminar on acquiring real estate.

While they never got into the real estate business, they built this business from the ground up, which Mueller says has made them much more attuned to their clients’ needs and goals. “We were young enough and naïve enough to try it, and we caught a few breaks along the way,” he says. “And here we are now, blessed with a lot of good clients and talented staff.”

Carol Anderson, RN, CANS, a board-certified nurse and owner of Nouveau, A Boutique Medspa, stresses the importance of following the specific instructions your skin care provider gives you following a procedure. The wide variety of treatment options means there isn’t a one-size-fits-all recovery plan. “Just because your friend got a laser procedure doesn’t mean your experience is going to be exactly the same,” she notes. “Your recovery and ongoing care are going to be different.”

soak it up

“Chemical peels and microdermabrasion take off old cells and create new ones, which makes your skin much more receptive to whatever you put on it,” Anderson says. Using the recommended products to address specific concerns is especially important during the first 12 hours after the procedure, when skin is most responsive.

stick to the shade

“Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen,” Koo says. “Staying out of the sun and using an effective medical, antioxidant sunscreen are important after laser treatments and chemical peels.” Also, make sure the sunscreen you use protects against all rays: UVA, UVB and UVC. Anderson adds that most procedures require you to stay out of direct sunlight for a minimum of three days, but it may be necessary for up to two weeks.

inside and out

Both topical and internal hydration are important to your recovery. Make sure you drink enough water and use an effective moisturizer. “Don’t be pulled in by the branding or price,” Koo says. “If there are not enough active ingredients, you won’t see any results or get the benefits.” To ensure that your moisturizer will make a difference, Anderson suggests checking the ingredient list. If the active ingredient is not near the top, there isn’t much present and the moisturizer won’t be as effective. Anderson also says to avoid moisturizers that include a large concentration of petroleum. “The only thing petroleum does is seal in your moisture; it doesn’t hydrate,” she explains.

There are several ingredients to look for. Koo notes that antioxidants like vitamins C and E and retinol have many benefits, including repairing damage and replenishing skin oils, elastin and collagen fibers. Anderson agrees that vitamin C is one of the most important ingredients because it will protect your skin from the sun and ozone, but she also notes that it should not be part of your initial recovery; it should be incorporated into your routine when the skin has healed. “Cucumber and thyme extracts will soothe and help with redness and inflammation,” she adds.

Anderson strongly suggests finding a provider with whom you can build a good relationship. “She can help you set up a plan for your skin care and adapt it to any changes your skin may undergo,” she says. She also notes that people often think they can’t start a skin care regimen because of cost, but in reality, there are effective options for every budget. Koo agrees that maintaining a routine with the right products is important. “The key to youthful skin is stopping damage before it begins,” she says. “If you use effective, medical skin care products, you can still look 40 at 65.”

FITNESS “A LOT OF SENIORS FALL BACK ON WHAT THEY KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO FITNESS,” SAYS RYAN MORGAN, OWNER OF PURSUIT FITNESS AND PERFORMANCE, A GYM THAT SPECIALIZES IN TRAINING PEOPLE 50 AND OLDER. “They stick with going for a walk or hitting the treadmill, but that’s really just part of what they should be doing.”

Making the most of your fitness routine can have big benefits, like reducing your risk of injury and lessening joint and back pain.

Aging Gracefully

balancing act

“Improving balance helps prevent falls and injuries,” Morgan says. “Bone density decreases over time, so if people aren’t following a regular strength training routine, one fall can mean a broken hip or torn ligament.” He adds that for senior athletes, it decreases the chance of injury and improves performance.

Morgan says he’s seen an improvement in clients’ balance when they start incorporating strength training into their workouts. “Just doing body weight exercises and going through a full range of motion will increase awareness of your body in the space around you,” he explains. “Don’t just use machines.

Do things on your feet or even in a sitting or kneeling position to increase your core control and improve balance.” Ideally, your routine should take your body through different movement patterns, including forward, backward and side to side, and it should work out the entire body.

☛ TRY IT AT HOME! ☛

While supervision is recommended for many strength training exercises, Morgan says simple, single-leg exercises can be done without instruction. “Simply standing on one leg is an easy way to work on your balance,” he explains. “Just be sure to use some sort of support in the beginning to prevent falls.”

be flexible

Flexibility can help prevent injuries, back pain and balance problems. “A body in motion stays in motion, while a body at rest stays at rest,” Morgan says. “It’s important to put your joints through a full range of motion to continue to move well.” He suggests everything from playing with your grandchildren to playing golf and tennis to keep your body moving and flexible.

“There’s no magic exercise to improve flexibility,” he notes. It’s also important to stretch. Morgan suggests practicing dynamic stretching, which means moving as you stretch instead of just holding the position for 10 or more seconds (static stretching).

If you have concerns about improving flexibility before a workout, Morgan suggests trying self-myofascial release. The technique places pressure on fascia (connective tissue beneath the skin) with the goal of reducing pain and restoring motion. “It’s like giving the muscle a mini massage,” he says. “It decreases tissue density and allows the muscle to move better.” A variety of products can be used for self-myofascial release, including foam rollers, massage sticks or even tennis and lacrosse balls, and Morgan says it’s safe to do on your own.

“Nature gives you the face you have at 20; it is up to you and Nouveau to merit the face you have at 50.”

take to the water

If you’re suffering from joint pain or stiffness, aquatics might be the perfect fitness solution. Heather Chesemen, aquatics director at The J, explains that water’s buoyancy gives you the benefits of regular exercise without the strain. Different levels range from less strenuous floating and extension stretching to more intense lap swimming and aqua jogging. “Aquatics can be a great way to get a cardio workout, especially for people who liked to run when they were younger,” she says. “You really can’t be an avid runner your whole life because joint soreness and injuries are going to start popping up. Running in the water gives you the same cardio benefits, but you aren’t tearing up your knees.”

Aquatics is often recommended for physical therapy patients who have had knee replacements or similar procedures, but Chesemen says it's a good fit for most seniors because it engages the whole body and can improve balance. “When I’m teaching a fitness class, I always try to engage all of the muscles,” Chesemen says. “You want to make sure you work the abs because balance originates in the core.” She recommends working out three times a week for 45 minutes to an hour. “Staying consistent is important,” she notes.

SUMMER HOME GALLERY SPECIAL SECTION

THE MARKET IS HEATING UP................

HOMEWORK

DEAR HOMEWORK,

We purchased our 1973 Spanish Revival home from the original owner. The house is not our ideal style, but it sits on nearly 4 acres, providing us with the privacy and location we desired. We’ve made a few exterior changes, including replastering the arches, replacing the windows to match the plaster, painting the door a terra cotta red, and adding some landscaping and an arched fountain in the alcove. It still feels very incomplete, and we are second-guessing our choices. The brick is multicolored, and we wonder about staining it a lighter color? Do we go all out for a Spanish look with a barrel tile-style roof, or keep the Spanish influence more subdued?

Thank you, DEAR CASA INCOMPLETEA,

—CASA INCOMPLETEA

In the 1970s, there was a renewed interest in the more ‘romantic’ styles of residential architecture, though the styling themes were often applied less carefully than in the ’20s or ’30s. Luckily, your house has an asymmetrical floor plan that lends itself to some more authentic features.

Your changes have helped, and painting the brick definitely will pull the whole package together, but I would like to suggest a few more adventurous architectural changes that could give the composition a more robust 1920s feel.

First, remove the two large front porch arches. They seem to darken the entry, and their scale feels too big for the rest of the façade. Once they are gone, we can see second-floor windows that went unnoticed, and to me, the house feels bigger. To make up for the resulting loss of ‘Spanishness,’ I have turned the projecting element to the right of the porch into a tower. This is exactly where the composition needs an accent, making the outline of the house more charming and memorable.

You also will note additional detailing in the form of new windowsills, arch rondels and historic-looking front doors that make for a more Mediterranean feel. Tall light piers finish off the arrival area, and minor landscape adjustments and new accessories put the finishing touches on the presentation.

The existing brick has been painted to match the new windows, but I don’t really think a clay tile roof is necessary. I think the proposed changes give the property a more classic feel and show some ideas that may not have come to mind.

Thanks for the interesting challenge, —HOMEWORK

by karyn williams

THE TREASURE ▶ Opera glasses THE STORY ▶ The opera glasses were my great Aunt Dorothy’s

from the 1920s. Born in 1900, she was a woman of her time and reminded me of Katharine Hepburn. She was very social, had exquisite taste, went to flight school, flew a plane and you never wondered what she thought. She helped raise my dad and his two brothers after their father died when they were young. She was so special to me, and I had the utmost respect for her.

in high society, you would never chance a trip to the opera without a lorgnette, or opera glasses as we call them today. This pair is particularly nice, beautifully crafted by Lamier Paris from panels of genuine mother of pearl. This style of lorgnette was popular in the 19th century, but it still can catch a fancy collector’s eye at auction, estate sales or antique shops.

STABLISHED IN 1910, THE FOURTH-GENERATION ROLLING LAWNS FARM LOCATED IN NEARBY GREENVILLE, ILLINOIS, HAS MADE A NAME

FOR ITSELF—and its milk—west of the Mississippi.

Since 2016, operators Michael Turley and his mother, Connie, have marketed their quality, fresh milk here in St. Louis, where Turley calls home. Although he was born and raised on the 700-acre farm, he moved west in the early ’90s to pursue a career in marketing and advertising.

No matter where he lives, Turley remains committed to the land and takes solace in its natural beauty and memories.

JUNE 27, 2018 | townandstyle.com

| F23

Is the home there now the original farmhouse?

Michael Turley | Yes, it was built in 1910 by my great-grandfather, Sam Schmollinger, who started the farm that same year. In 2016, we added a hearth room and expanded my mother’s kitchen.

Any special childhood memories?

I lived in the house with my father, Neal, my mother, and my younger brother, Craig. Growing up on the farm was the perfect life. When you live 7 miles out of town, you often only interact with your family.

Life is full of the adventures you make of it. As a boy, I can remember how exciting it was when the Schwan’s driver would show up once a week. It was our equivalent of a surburban ice cream truck.

What is your favorite room?

Definitely the hearth room. It has views to the west with a landscape of green pasture, corn and wheat framed by beautiful sunsets. It’s a peaceful place to end the day. Without question, my favorite thing to do is watch our cows in the pasture at the end of the day, close to dusk. It truly is summertime serenity.

You work at the farm full-time now?

Yes, I had a 25-year career in marketing and advertising, but I left my job at the end of 2015 to focus all of my efforts on the farm.

What do you produce, and how many cows do you have?

Our farm is primarily focused on our dairy operation.

We milk 120 purebred Holsteins every morning and night, and have done so for 108 years. Our goal is for each animal to live as long and healthy of a life as possible. The ‘first family’ on the farm is the Bell family. Bell is 12 years old and is the matriarch of Rolling Lawns. She is a great-great-grandmother, and all of her offspring are with her on the farm.

Have you made any significant renovations to the farm over the years?

The farm is constantly evolving, but the biggest renovation is the expansion of our business. We produce 1,000 gallons of milk each day, so we just built a Grade A food manufacturing plant called Milk House in our hometown of Greenville. It’s a 25,000-square-foot building that will allow us to produce, process, bottle and distribute our products. In fact, it will be the first true local dairy in the St. Louis market. While that doesn’t sound all that exciting or progressive, it is when you consider we are doing it in the most commoditized category in the food industry.

When did you establish a relationship with the St. Louis restaurant scene?

We have been working with local restaurants since May 2016 when we sold our first dairy products to them. The vision at Rolling Lawns Farm is to be the Augusta National of dairy farms. Just as Augusta is known for its unparalleled reverence for the game of golf, we use the same respect taking care of the farm and our beloved, registered Holstein cows. We’ve discovered a shared passion with local chefs and food enthusiasts that values the origins of food. Our goal is to meet the chefs’ principles with the farm’s provenance. We are blessed with the relationships we’ve been able to establish with the vibrant St. Louis food scene. A few of the partnerships include Vicia, Yolklore, Ices Plain and Fancy, Kaldi’s, Larder & Cupboard, and the Smokehouse Market. These folks have been with us from the beginning, and it means so much.

Are there any future projects planned?

Plans are underway for an ice cream shop and restaurant in the space adjacent to Milk House. In the end, we will have a destination similar to that of the craft beer brewers in the St. Louis area, in the sense that it will be a total experience where we make the product and share it in a retail setting.

Do you ever have guests on the farm?

We occasionally entertain, always around the holidays. My mom is an amazing cook. Our farm also has been host to approximately 20 international students over the years. The students are primarily from Japan and China and travel to the U.S. to live and work with a dairy farm family for a year-long practicum.

They are totally immersed in the farming operation with the intention of bringing the business and cultural knowledge back home to apply at their own family farms.

WHAT ARE SOME INTERESTING WAYS TO SPRUCE UP A PORCH, PATIO OR YARD?

by julia m. johnson

REFRESH & REDO

T&S HOME

A lot of homeowners are interested in water features like fountains and ponds that offer the pleasing sounds and soothing movement of water.

They create a focal point and help bring a yard to life. Owners of high-end homes especially love custom-built water features that add interest to their landscaping.

When it comes to choosing a design, the only limits are the homeowner’s imagination and budget.

There are different sizes of fountains with varying numbers of tiers, nozzles and spray patterns.

Fountains can be designed to spray straight up or at an angle—whatever the customer prefers.

And LED lighting on the structure is very popular now; it’s brighter than halogen lighting, lasts much PHOTO COURTESY OF BROADVIEW SCREEN CO.

Many people are building smaller homes now, but they still want big outdoor spaces, especially in the back. Phantom dual-roller retractable screens can turn patios and porches into ‘3.5-season’ rooms while keeping out pollen, insects, debris, rain and wind.

They come with insect and clear vinyl screens that you can operate separately depending on conditions, using a radiofrequency remote control or your home automation system. The screens come in nine colors and 40 different kinds of mesh to match a variety of home designs. They usually are installed in houses under construction, but they can be added to existing homes as well.

longer, is more energy-efficient, and can be less expensive and lower maintenance. It really draws attention to the fountain at night. We can create water features that homeowners can maintain, or they can have us do the upkeep.

Some clients also ask for smaller, self-contained, molded concrete fountains you can place on a porch or patio. They can be designed to recirculate about a gallon and a half of water, or they can be connected to a water source.

Josh Thomas, owner Precision Fountains

Homeowners who want a less expensive option can choose Eze Breeze screens that also help keep out rain, pollen and wind. These days, many people want porch and patio spaces that have full kitchens, fireplaces, heaters, TVs and more. They want to entertain and spend more time outside, and retractable screens can help make that possible.
