cover story

[HELP & HOPE Thompson Foundation for Autism by alexa beattie It’s ‘blitz week’ at Thompson Center for Autism & Neurodevelopmental Disorders. That means—in the space of four days—the center will evaluate as many children as possible. “It’s crazy here,” says executive director Stephen Kanne, Ph.D., describing the hive of activity as staff and providers evaluate dozens of youngsters at its University of Missouri facility in Columbia. “We see kids and answer parents’ questions as fast as we can,” he says. “We work through lunch, and everyone pitches in—university faculty, cognitive testing technicians, front desk staff, insurance specialists ... ” He stresses, however, that no child is short-changed, that all children receive an expert assessment by the institution, considered a national leader in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) care, research and legislative efforts.

Kanne says that only 65 percent of the kids the center evaluates end up being diagnosed with ASD. “Even though it can sound like there’s an autism epidemic, there isn’t,” he says. “But we are better at identifying the condition when it’s present and, therefore, are able to get kids the right treatment earlier.” ASD—commonly thought to be a genetic disorder—presents as difficulties with communication and social interaction, and in repetitive behaviors or restricted interests. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects 1 in 68 children in the U.S. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to helping those with autism lead successful lives, but that kind of care can be costly. That’s where the Thompson Foundation comes in. Founded in 2007

by Bill and Nancy Thompson, it’s the center’s fundraising arm, supporting projects, programs and financial aid that make a difference in the lives of families affected by ASD. Since its founding, the nonprofit has raised $4.7 million through its annual gala in St. Louis, the organization’s principal fundraiser. “[The center] is an amazing place,” says Jack Reis, the foundation’s regional director for philanthropy. “Since its founding just 12 years ago, it has risen to become one of the top institutions in the country.” Reis cites the sheer number of patient visits—12,000 annually—and the overall standard of care. “No one does the research or provides the level of clinical care and training that Thompson Center does,” he says. “It’s a behemoth, an epicenter for autism care in the Midwest.”

And it continues to grow: In September, a new research and training building is set to open next door, and this, Kanne says, will free up space in the existing building for more clinics. In addition, a new video conferencing tool called ECHO Autism will help Thompson Center specialists extend their reach into rural communities that otherwise might go unserved.

Kanne stresses that none of this would be possible without the foundation’s support. “If it weren’t for the gala, we’d have to close our doors,” he says. This year, the event’s theme is ‘Heroes Among Us,’ and the St. Louis Blues partners with the foundation to host the gala. Honorary chairs are former NHL All-Star Scott Mellanby and wife Sue, whose son, Carter, has autism. The gala takes place Oct. 20 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. “It’s an exciting event,” Reis says. “Four-hundred guests will assemble to support individuals and families. We are blessed to have their support.”

EDITORIAL

karyn williams alexa beattie julia M. johnson

managing editor senior editor associate editor

from the editor's desk I always find our annual Health Frontiers section, in today’s issue, fascinating. It highlights a handful of cutting-edge medical research projects going on right here, at Washington University and Saint Louis University. One of the items this year is about a new technique for helping people lose weight. Called aspiration therapy, it takes an innovative approach to the vexing problem: it removes food directly from the stomach after it has been ingested, but before the body has time to digest it. Yes, it is an unconventional option.

Basically, a temporary tube linked to the stomach offers a portal for the removal of newly eaten meals (a portion of them), reducing calorie intake by about a third. My initial reaction was something like: This is medically sanctioned bulimia! But after recalling all I’ve learned about obesity over the years, I’ve rethought it. For many dangerously overweight people, losing pounds the conventional way has not worked. That’s due to a host of attendant issues, most of them no fault of theirs: metabolism, genetics, illness and more. Willpower, which thin folks tend to cite as the culprit, often isn’t.

So back to aspiration therapy: it might just prove to be the best option for many. Perhaps they don’t want to undergo surgeries like lap band and gastric bypass. And doing nothing about obesity puts people at risk of life-threatening conditions like diabetes and heart disease, not to mention creates ambulatory stress.

Furthermore, aspiration therapy is meant to be temporary, used to jump-start a healthier lifestyle by giving people hope, by helping them lose some initial pounds and then setting them on the weight-loss path. After that, and attendant nutritional counseling, the idea is that patients will be better able to lead a healthier lifestyle. For these folks are ‘patients,’ and obesity is their disease.

The ribbon has been cut and the doors open since June 1 for the new Downtown YMCA in the MX (Mercantile Exchange) District. This site—at 6th and Locust streets—is especially meaningful because it returns the Y to the very spot where 23 men met at the Second Baptist Church and organized St. Louis’ first YMCA in 1853. There have been a few monumental changes since the Y was established there. For one thing, of course, women are welcome. Also, the new Y features the latest in fitness amenities, chronic disease prevention programs and financial assistance for people who may need a little help with membership.

(In and around the MX District are restaurants, retail, a movie theater, the Central Library, Convention Center and National Blues Museum.) The newfangled Y includes a fitness center and pool (natch), a spiritmind-body studio, group exercise studio, private showers, changing rooms, steam rooms, an outdoor patio for outdoor classes and social functions, and an open lobby with free Wi-Fi, coffee and gathering and working areas. It also features the latest in group exercise programs, kickboxing, and the only hot-yoga class downtown. And Y membership allows access to all 24 branches in the metro. The grand opening was part of the YMCA’s 173rd Founders Day nationally, and all Gateway Region Ys in Missouri and Illinois waived the joining fee as part of the celebration.

That continues, after a fashion, with free seven-day guest passes for anyone who wants to check out this amazing new experience. May 25 was the last day for the Y at its former location, 1528 Locust St., having operated there 91 years!

ST. LOUIS

At 17, Hannah Haedike was already a theater soul. But … skipping your own high school graduation because the show must go on? Hannah, a member of the teen ensemble in the Stages production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, was set to graduate from Francis Howell High School—until she got the casting call. Hannah, a true thespian, did not hesitate, but there was a mitigating circumstance. Her mom, Christy, who was just finishing up chemotherapy, really wanted to see her walk in her graduation ceremony.

Flash forward to the opening weekend performance, when Hannah was surprised at the curtain call by a musical theater-style graduation! Before a sold-out crowd of 375, including her mom and dad (David), cast and crew adorned an astonished Hannah in cap and gown and presented her with a ‘diploma’ from ‘Canaan University’ in the land of Egypt (the show was Joseph, after all!). Hannah got cheers and a standing ovation. We surmise that’s probably more hoopla than she would have received at her school ceremony that same night. You can still catch Hannah in Joseph through this weekend as one of five in the teen ensemble. She actually may have picked up her real diploma by then, but acknowledged she’s been plenty busy with her ‘Dance Intense’ program at Stages Academy in advance of her freshman year at Milliken University in Decatur, Ill., where she’ll major in—what else?—musical theater.

What constitutes a ‘dangerous dog’ in Kirkwood? We’re pretty sure the appellation doesn’t refer to the canine characters in that lurid velvet painting on the neighbor’s ‘rec room’ wall, across from the Aloha-themed bar. (If that’s you, we apologize.) Municipalities have struggled for years with dog regulations. They wrestle with the language that keeps residents safe from dog attacks. But which canines, exactly, do we need protection from? For a while, in many towns, ordinances were breed-specific.

But that doesn’t apply very well to the cuddly pit bull or sweetheart Doberman that rolls over for a belly pat. Dangerous dogs dart seemingly out of nowhere to accost you and the much-smaller canine you’re taking for a leisurely walk. Many municipal ordinances require ‘dangerous’ dogs to be kept inside a fenced yard or restrained by a leash. Kirkwood officials have been working on appropriate language for a rewrite since last year, when a dog reportedly jumped from

chesterfield

its owner’s car to attack a smaller dog being walked in the street. The small dog required emergency surgery and the owner was bitten as well. The prospective new ordinance being bandied about in city council would require several steps to be taken, starting with a letter from officials requiring a dog owner to show proof of $100,000 in liability insurance to cover damage and/or injuries caused by a dog deemed dangerous. A warning sign on the fence, a short leash, a muzzle and walkers no younger than 18 also would be required.

Meanwhile, the exact fate of ‘vicious’ dogs, those that have attacked once, also is being worked out. Anyhow, we surmise that the mention of ‘$100,000’ will weed out most nincompoops, whereupon the dogs will be sent away ‘to live on a nice farm.’ That’s where our dog Impy, short for Impossible, went after nipping the next-door neighbor’s kid who kept taunting him through the porch screen.

Depending on how early you start it today and how fast you can read, you might still be able to conquer enough of a Very. Big. Book. to engage in a discussion at 7 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, June 28) at U. City Public Library.

Upcoming discussion sessions are: Part II, July 26 to 28; and Part III, Aug. 23 to 25. As readers progress through the book, an esteemed scholar will bring the story into the present day. Imagine the average human lifespan being about half what it is now! With that in mind, discussions will be facilitated by Miriam Bailin, Ph.D., associate professor of English at Washington U., a specialist in Victorian and modern British literature, and author of The Sickroom in Victorian Fiction: The Art of Being Ill. (Anyone feel they’re ‘getting the vapours’?) Meanwhile, dear readers, participants need not be U. City residents. Anyone may join in online when they wish … or consider reading the contemporary nonfiction work Born Bright: A Young Girl’s Journey from Nothing to Something in America by C. Nicole Mason. Both books explore the critical role education plays in a child’s life. There’ll be a panel discussion of that theme on Wednesday, July 21 at 7 p.m. at the library. You say it’s too darn hot to just sit and read in the metro? Well, think of what few pastimes were available in the 1850s, other than fishing.

Are you tired of the hassles

of reading glasses?

Before without glasses

After without glasses

What if you didn’t need them anymore?

We can make that happen. ballwin

You may have heard that a total solar eclipse is coming Aug. 21. Yeah, that’s a thing. It’s happening in Ballwin … and anywhere else the sun shines in the metro … scarcely two months from now. But, did you know that there’s also a Solar Eclipse Task Force? It’s been preparing for this rare cosmic event for two years, and had an expo in Queeny Park earlier this month featuring magicians, marketers and scientists—excluding Bill Nye and Neal deGrasse Tyson (who were busy being famous somewhere else). Total-eclipse fun and tomfoolery are planned here, there and everywhere, of course.

But you must wear special glasses to observe the event safely … and not just those spiffy, polarized Ray-Bans you think look so dope. You need eyewear that filters 100 percent of harmful ultraviolet and infrared light and 99.999 percent of intense visible light. But don’t get hoodwinked into paying more than you need to for, essentially, a cardboard frame and dense filters that provide an image of the moon-obscured sun.

Some sellers provide quantities of more than 200 for 99 cents apiece, even less for schools. Note: Tin foil hats not required.

As we age, most everyone starts to lose their ability to see up close. Making reading glasses a must for everyday tasks like reading a book, going online or using your mobile device.

The good news is there are some remarkable new

treatments that restore near vision, reducing or even

eliminating the need for reading glasses.

I dreamt about Jon Hamm last night.

Jon and I, along with Jenna Fischer (apparently only St. Louis actors are allowed in my dreams) were at Llewelyn’s Pub in the Central West End. It was the old Llewelyn’s, before the addition, with the grill in the front and the bartender who barked at you if you asked what kind of beer they had. What makes this significant? It was one of several ‘stress dreams’ I had this week.

Apparently everyone has them. Some are pretty common, like your teeth falling out or showing up to class only to find out there is a test you didn’t know about. You wake up and realize after a quick survey of your mouth that everything is OK, and you go back to sleep. But mine were worse: snakes, rodents and monsters were involved. And I know just who to blame for my unsettled psyche: the prior occupants of a house my daughter just moved into. I don’t know the names of these five college girls, but if I did, I would print them in bold just to shame them!

My parents did a good job of making sure that when I left their house, I knew how to take care of myself.

I can clean a house, use a hammer and screwdriver, unclog a toilet, paint walls, put a ladder up on a roof to clean gutters and mow the lawn. Apparently, this was not the case for the prior occupants of this house.

The smell was the first sign, followed by stickiness on the floor, followed by, well, you get where I am going. If anyone would like photographic proof, email me. I give them credit though, it was the first time I’ve seen mold grow on the outside of a refrigerator. And so we began cleaning, scrubbing, fixing and replacing.

With the landlord out of town, we had no way to, uh, discuss our dissatisfaction. There we were, the three of us, me with my out of control OCD, my husband and his ADD in full force, and my daughter (without any three-letter diagnosis)—working to make the house habitable.

The landlord eventually surfaced, and we had a nice talk. OK, maybe it wasn’t so nice, but it was honest. And sure enough, he sent in his work crew to finish the job we started. So, as we drove home from New Orleans and I contemplated my five days in what I lovingly refer to as that hell-hole house, I realized a few things. I am grateful my parents taught me how to do ‘basic stuff’ and that both my kids can do the same. I also taught them to respect authority, but maybe I should have taught them when to respectfully tell authority you aren’t going to take it anymore. And finally, I learned that I am too old to do this ever again.

So last night Jon and Jenna visited me in my clean sheets, and this morning I woke up happy. No more stress dreams. And even though my daughter is 600 miles away, I know there is nothing she can’t handle, including a caulk gun. contact Patty at phannum@townandstyle.com.

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

by dorothy weiner

Bienvenue, maestro StÉphane DenÈve. The new, 13th music director of our St. Louis Symphony Orchestra will inherit the baton full time from David Robertson for the 2019-20 season. Denève, a frequent guest conductor here, is currently music director of the Brussels Philharmonic and is a graduate of and prize-winner from the Paris Conservatoire.

At the Urban League’s Salute to Women in Leadership gala, gospel recording artist Yolanda Adams and R&B singer and actress Freda Payne were honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards. Congratulations, ladies!

St. Louis’ Fabulous Fox Theatre is the final stop on the farewell tour of the popular musical Mamma Mia. After 15 years on the road (mamma mia!), the show plays here July 28 through 30.

Major props go out to St. Louisans Elizabeth Rohrbaugh (Clayton ‘97) and Daniel Powell (MICDS ‘96) for the recognition earned by their full-length film, Becks. The drama about a Brooklyn musician who relocates to be near her lover and ends up moving in with her disapproving mother took top honors as Best U.S. Fiction Film last week at the L.A. Film Festival. It also was chosen as the Centerpiece Film at the Frameline Festival in San Francisco, the international LGBTQ film competition. Becks stars Lena Hall and Mena Suvari.

In a major philanthropic move the Edison family has gifted Washington University School of Medicine $10 million to support the Center for Genome Sciences and Systems Biology. Among the research enhanced by this gift are efforts to better understand the gut microbiome, the microbes that colonize the human gut and impact human health.

SPRING

[ Sports wrap-up by bill hester

The first state championship by the Webster Groves girls soccer team was certainly one to remember. The title by the Stateswomen highlighted another successful spring season for high school athletes throughout our communities.

[ basketball ]

For the first time in 10 years, no St. Louis area team won a state title in the five classes of the Missouri High School Activities Association Championship.

Westminster Christian Academy had the best record of any state team in the regular season, losing just one of 34 games. But the Wildcats fell to Lutheran South 2-1 in the semifinals. They rebounded in a big way with a 19-4 victory over Pleasant Hill to finish the season with a 34-2 record.

Vianney was the third area team to make it to the Final Four. But the Griffins, who defeated Marquette 3-2 in the sectional round and Poplar Bluff 1-0 in the quarterfinals, fell to upstart Fort Zumwalt West 4-3 in the semifinals. Vianney came back to beat Lee’s Summit 9-0 in the third-place game to finish the season with a 32-7 record.

[ lacrosse ]

Mary Institute Country Day School won both the boys and girls championships in the Missouri Scholastic Lacrosse Association. The Rams boys won their fourth consecutive title in impressive fashion. MICDS was 17-5 for the season with all of its losses against teams from outside the area.

MICDS defeated SLUH 12-8 in the semifinals and crushed Chaminade 16-5 in the championship game at Lindenwood University. Harry Wellford, who led in scoring, had six goals, while Graham Bundy added five. They combined for 119 Rams goals.

Hazelwood defeated Kirkwood 17-5 for the Show-Me Cup Championship.

Like the boys, the MICDS girls were undefeated against local competition this spring. The Rams lost two of three games in Dallas to open the season and then won their final 15, outscoring their opponents 246-69. MICDS, which lost in the championship game to Cor Jesu last season, won 12 of its 15 games by 10 goals or more. They finished with a 14-3 triumph over Lafayette in the championship game.

[ boys tennis ]

Parkway South junior Carson Haskins won his third consecutive Class 2 singles championship, losing just 13 games all season. Seven of those came in the championship match. Haskins has yet to lose a set in high school.

It was a tremendous state tournament in the individual portion of the meet as area doubles teams swept the two state classes. Priory’s Victor Djavaherian and Patrick Milburn won the Class 1 doubles CBC’s A.J. championship.

Woodman and Clayton Maack capped off an undefeated season with a 7-5, 6-3 win over the state champions in Class 2. Other highlights individually were third-place finishes by Parkway West’s Kenji Yanaba in Class 2 singles and by Ladue’s Aaron Umen and Jeremy Ouyang in Class 2 doubles.

No area team won a state title this year. Priory, which had a dramatic 5-4 win over fourtime Class 1 champion MICDS in the district finals, reached the finals. Parkway Central and Clayton reached the Final Four in Class 2 and Class 1 respectively.

Each finished fourth.

[ boys track ]

John Burroughs captured the Class 3 championship in exciting fashion.

The Bombers’ 4x400-meter team of John Harry Wagner, Jake Bain, Luke Lamb and Brandon Miller won the final event of the meet to give the Bombers 62 points. The key to the Burroughs title was its relay teams. The 4x200-meter team of Lamb, Wagner, Brandon Miller and Xavier Miller and the 4x800-meter team of Liam Donovan, Diego Santa Cruz, Wagner and Brandon Miller also reached state champion. The 4x100-meter relay team of Lamb, Xavier Miller, Suleman Burrows and Bain was third.

BRENTWOOD The Bombers also excelled in the 800-meter run, won by Brandon Miller, who is only a freshman. Wagner, a senior, was second. Principia’s Corey Carter had an outstanding meet in Class 3, winning the 100-meter dash and finishing second in the 200-meter dash. Whitfield’s Miles Elkins won the triple jump. Brentwood had a ninth-place finish and an individual and relay champion in Class 2. Senior Kaylon Jenkins won the open 400-meter dash and teamed with DeAndre Boykin, Joseph Clay and Justice Harris to win the 4x100-meter relay.

Parkway North finished second in the Class 4 meet. The Vikings had 48 points. Jekeel Suber led the way for the Vikings. He won the 300-meter hurdles and was second to teammate Jalani Williams in the 100-meter hurdles. Suber and Williams also ran a leg on the 4x100-meter relay team, which finished second.

JOHN BURROUGHS

TOWN TALK

Lafayette continued its brilliance in track with a second-place finish in Class 5. It was the fourth consecutive top two finish for the Lancers. Distance runner Austin Hindman, a senior, will be running at the University of Missouri in the fall, and won the 800-meter run, 1,600-meter run, the 3,200-meter run and ran a leg of the champion 4x800-meter relay team with Harrison Brown, David Golder and Nassim Oufattole. The biggest highlight for Hindman was breaking the state record in the 3,200-meter run. He ran an 8:54.92, winning the event by 26 seconds. He was only the second runner in state history to break nine minutes in the event.

CBC finished fourth as a team in Class 5. The Cadets had a champion, as Kamryn Babb won the long jump.

Cameron Brown was second in the 100-meter dash, and Austin Maiden was third in the 200-meter dash.

[ boys volleyball ]

Lafayette and Parkway Central came home with state titles this spring.

Lafayette won the Class 4 championship at Webster Groves with a thrilling 25-20, 1525, 25-23 triumph over SLUH, which had won the last two state titles.

The Lancers won their final 25 matches of the season and finished with a record of 33-1. SLUH also had a great season. The Junior Bills finished 25-2-1.

The title match in Class 3 had the same kind of drama as the one in Class 4 with Parkway Central coming back to defeat St. Mary’s, 17-25, 25-23, 25-22 in the championship match. The Colts won their final 17 matches of the season and ended at 32-4.

[ girls track ]

MICDS fell just a point short of capturing a championship in Class 3. The Rams finished with 56 points, one behind champion Camdenton. Webster Groves finished third as a team in Class 3. Jhordin Galmore, Zionn Pearson, Krysten Holmes and Cara Johnson of MICDS won the 4x100-meter relay. All four champions are underclassmen. Pearson also had a second-place finish in the long jump for the Rams.

Webster was led by sophomore Nia Lyles, who won the shot put and finished second in the discus. Parkway West had the other state title in Class 3 as Teresa Allgeyer, Emily Dickson, Natalie Butler and Chloe Hershenow won the 4x800-meter relay.

No area team finished in the top 10 in Class 2. The best individual effort was a third-place finish in the 3,200-meter run by Whitfield’s Hannah Surmon.

Kirkwood was an area best 12th in Class 5. The Pioneers were led by Kara Steele, who finished second in the triple jump. Marquette’s Maegan Saleh was second in the long jump.

Despite a 24-1 record, Webster Groves was the distinct underdog when it took on top-ranked Notre Dame de Sion in the Class 3 championship game June 3 in Kansas City. But Webster had goals from freshman Izzy Heintz and sophomore Gretchen Skoglund, and the Stateswomen held on for a 2-1 victory. It was an interesting road to the state championship. Webster needed two overtimes to defeat Visitation in the sectional round and penalty kicks to beat Fort Zumwalt South in the semifinals. Sandwiched between those nail-biters was a 5-0 victory over Cape Central in the quarterfinals.

St. Joseph’s Academy finished third in the Class 4 state tournament. The Angels lost to eventual champion, Eureka, 1-0 in the semifinals and came back to tie Lee’s Summit West 2-2 in the third-place game as Mallory Stock scored directly from a corner kick with less than 2 minutes to go. The Angels finished the season with a 19-4-1 record. Principia had a heartbreaking loss in the semifinals of the Class 1 tournament.

[ boys golf ]

Chaminade’s Joseph Terschluse captured the Class 4 individual championship.

He was consistent both days, with identical scores of 146, and won by two strokes.

The Red Devils finished third as a team but were only five strokes out of first place.

Chaminade was third with 615. St. Louis University High was fifth as a team, Lafayette was and seventh. Ladue’s Reilly Ahearn was the other area top 10 finisher at state.

Ahearn carded a 150, which was good for fifth place.

Priory had its second runner-up finish in the spring. Priory was tied for second with Nevada at 622 but won the tie-breaker. The Rebels had a pair of top 10 finishers. Andrew Stange was seventh, and Peter Weaver was ninth. John Burroughs finished seventh as a team in Class 3. joseph terschluSE

Riley Juenger was QUITE YOUNG when she was moved to do great things. She was in

fourth grade at Visitation Academy when a girl named Molly Gleason, a couple of years her senior, died of leukemia. “It made an enormous impression on me,” says Juenger, now a junior at the University of Mississippi and recently named Student of the Year by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society-Gateway Chapter (LLS). The Student of the Year Campaign is a fundraising competition in which students who have demonstrated leadership, volunteerism and philanthropy raise funds to benefit the society. Juenger received the accolade after raising a whopping $41,386 for the nonprofit over a short 10-week period.

“Even though I was quite young [when Molly died], I was so aware of the unfairness,” Juenger remembers, “and was acutely concerned that she had suffered pain.” Juenger began visiting the society with her mother, a volunteer, and soon was taking part in LLS 5K and 10K fundraisers, along with Light The Night walks to honor those touched by blood cancer. “I wanted to do whatever I could to help out,” she says.

Another St. Louis chapter nominee, Cooper Harrison—who came in second after Juenger with just more than $36,000—has a particular connection to organizations like LLS since he himself was diagnosed with leukemia at age 7. Now a junior at Quincy University and a robust football player, he calls himself an active ambassador for LLS. “The competition might be over, but I’m still raising money, reaching out to the community through social media,” Harrison says, adding that he’s aiming for a grand total of $50,000 by the end of June. He also is philanthropy chair of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Quincy.

Debbie Kersting, LLS-Gateway’s executive director, explains that to provide inspiration to the nominees, a human face is given to the competition each year—usually two children who have the disease. This year, it was T.J., 6, and Lily, 4, who kept the nominees focused. Both youngsters were diagnosed with leukemia, which Kersting says is the second most common cancer killer of children under the age of 20. Lymphoma is the third.

“During the competition, Lily was in treatment and we weren’t sure she was going to make it to the May 5 gala,” Juenger recalls. “But she was there—laughing and running around—and everyone had smiles on their faces. That’s what this is all about.”

Juenger, Harrison and the other nominees raised a grand total of just above $100,000, which will assist area cancer patients and their families with medical expenses, educational programs and other support.

“The leadership these young people showed throughout the 10-week competition was unbelievable,” Kersting says. “The chapter is so grateful.”

the favorites

Cheese pizza, Pepperoni pizza

This is the second pizzeria by owner Scott Sandler, who also owns Pizzeoli in Soulard.

There, he makes enviable Neapolitan pies with a special wood-burning oven from Italy. This second venture, in the middle of the South Grand dining district, makes New York-style pizza with a chewy, doughy crust instead of the thin-in-the-middle and bubbled-at-the-edges Neapolitan style.

Like at Pizzeoli, this place is vegan and vegetarian. There are pepperoni and sausage pizzas, but they are made with hydrolyzed protein products that simulate meat. It’s also a great spot for people who have trouble finding cheese-less pizza, because there is a pretty good option that has crushed cashews instead. Vegetable toppings run the full gamut: green pepper, black olives, jalapeños, spinach, garlic, onion and artichokes.

Also really nice: you can get pizza by the slice ($3 or $4)—a huge boon if you just want a couple of slices or two different kinds of pizza. There’s a simple bar with about five stools and lots of local beer options—great for a casual bite to eat. The dining area has about 10 tables. Two doors down, at the corner of Wyoming and Grand, there’s a Pizza Head patio with about six picnic tables (but no sun shade). I advise ordering your pizza by phone, and it should be ready 25 to 35 minutes later. There can be a long wait otherwise—40 minutes on the first night we visited.

All pizzas are 20 inches, with three basic options—cheese ($18), vegan ($22), white ($20, no tomato sauce)—and you can personalize with toppings. The sausage and pepperoni are soy-based products that look identical to their meat namesakes. This hard-core meat lover also found them to be very similar in taste—so much so that you might not suspect a meatless meal except for the sausage, which had a funny, unnatural odor.

In terms of the kind of experience you’ll have here, it’s casual, with an almost carry-out quality.

Salads ($4) come in styrofoam boxes with single-serving salad dressings. Coke and Dr. Pepper come in cans direct from a self-serve cooler. There’s a CD jukebox in back, for those lucky enough to snag a table inside. The interior is in-your-face charcoal with ‘scratches’ of red—definitely on the garish side but in keeping with the funky ambience.

After waiting 40 minutes for one vegan onion-mushroom and one cheese-spinach-artichoke pizza, it became clear that this is also a bar, a place to come for a couple of beers and slices, maybe even in that order of importance. And it was crowded, with a constant stream of customers, some obviously from the area and many not.

So how is the pizza? Not as cheesy and gooey as the best New York pizza, but the crust was enjoyable. On one night, the toppings were a bit meager, but on a second visit, that was remedied and the cheese was nice and thick. Same for the cashew-onion-mushroom pizza, which had great flavor.

With real New York pizza, you should have trouble eating it. With each bite, the cheese should cling to the pie and require the use of fingers to disengage it. Lots of napkins must be involved. Mission accomplished.

JOSEPH At STAGES

Front&Center] by alexa beattie

The only thing wrong with Stages’ Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is that it

we’re

homegrown,

independent [ a completely st. louis publication

connecting our community.

isn’t long enough. We wanted more … much more. Directed by Stephen Bourneuf, it’s a glossy, polished production that rollicks joyfully from one bubblegum scene to the next. The costumes are glorious, the sets are impressive, and the music—especially if you were a child of the ’70s— stirs the heart.

These Tim Rice lyrics never get old, and the jokes are still funny; the musical (adapted from the Book of Genesis by Rice and playwright Andrew Lloyd Webber) feels as current as it did some 40 years ago. Who knew, btw, that Joseph was presented for the first time in 1968 as a 15-minute pop cantata at a small private school in London, where Webber’s brother was a student? It was such a success that a second performance was arranged at Central Hall, Westminster, where a critic for The Sunday Times happened to be in the audience. His favorable review prompted a third performance at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The rest is history.

Jeff Sears is Joseph, and Kirsten Scott is the narrator. Both seem to enjoy themselves immensely, belting out the tunes and connecting amiably with the audience. But then, so does everyone, and, come the last scene—the ‘Joseph Megamix’ when the full company, out of costume, blitzes joyously through the numbers—the Mainstage at the Robert G. Reim Theatre at Kirkwood Community Center is the best party in town.

Joseph continues through July 2 and is followed by 9 to 5 (July 21 through Aug. 20) and South Pacific (Sept. 8 through Oct. 8). Seussical, Stages’ Theatre for Young Audiences, takes place through July 2 at Playhouse @ Westport Plaza.

Patient Tia Fadler consults with nurse practitioner Rachel Maday.

cover story

[NEW OPTION WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PHYSICIANS by julia m. johnson

Cape Girardeau resident Tia Fadler says she tried various weight loss plans

over the years, but never achieved much more than temporary success. Each time, her hopes went up as her weight went down, but the pounds would always return. Hoping to break the cycle of frustration and improve her health for good, Fadler met with Washington University gastroenterologist Dr. Vlad Kushnir and nurse practitioner Rachel Maday at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital.

They decided Fadler was a good candidate for aspiration therapy, a recently FDA-approved technique developed by Washington University researchers that prevents the body from absorbing a portion of the calories in already ingested food. The minimally invasive, physician-monitored process takes some time and commitment, but it produces good results for adults who need to lose a significant amount of weight, Kushnir says.

In an outpatient visit, a tube is endoscopically placed through a small abdominal incision; then, two weeks later, a port is placed at the end of the tubing, flush to the abdomen. A small exterior companion device can then attach to the port three times a day—after each meal—to remove about one-third of the patient’s food before it’s digested. The system is known as AspireAssist. “In its clinical trials, the average total body weight lost was above 14 percent in the U.S. and up to 19 percent in Europe,” Kushnir says. “Of all the endoscopic weight loss procedures, this is one of the best and least invasive.”

Patients can keep performing aspiration as long as needed to achieve their weight loss goals, and they receive nutrition and lifestyle counseling to help them stay healthy during and after therapy.

“I read about aspiration and thought it might be a good fit for me,” Fadler explains. “I’m a surgical neurophysiologist, and the demands of being at work and on call don’t allow me much down time.

I knew bariatric surgery and a long recovery period wouldn’t work for me.” She began using the AspireAssist system at the end of March, and is about 40 percent of the way to her 100-lb. weight loss goal. “It’s been very manageable for me,” Fadler says. “I can shower, swim and do regular activities with no problem. [The port] doesn’t show through my clothes, so no one knows I have it unless I tell them.” She adds that working with Washington University medical staff has been a very positive experience. “They’re very supportive, and I like that I get to meet with a dietitian each time I come for a follow-up visit,” she says.

Aspiration therapy is designed for patients with a BMI (body mass index) between 35 and 55, Kushnir says. It can be a good choice for people with obesity-linked conditions such as diabetes, arthritis and high blood pressure, especially those who have had trouble losing weight by other means. “The process really gets patients thinking about a different relationship with food,” he notes. “They learn how to eat slowly and mindfully, chew more thoroughly, drink more water and not snack during the day. These are behaviors they need to be successful with aspiration therapy— and with maintaining their weight in the future.”

Washington University Physicians offers a complete slate of services to help patients maintain A healthy weight and a healthful lifestyle.

MEDICAL UPDATE

tHE LATEST FINDINGS FOR 2017

by MARY JO BLACKWOOD, R.N., MPH

Among the many benefits of living in St. Louis is the caliber of our medical care. Our top-ranked hospitals and innovative medical schools conduct research to share around the world. Read about the latest innovations here.

VETERANS WHO VOLUNTEER Going from serving in a war zone to functioning as a civilian is a big change. That’s why The Mission Continues was started. The national nonprofit deploys veterans on six-month volunteer service missions with community agencies. Founded here in 2007 by now-Governor Eric Greitens, the effort has shown impressive results.

Monica Matthieu, Ph.D., lead author of the study and assistant professor of social work at Saint Louis University, says, “This study tells us that formal volunteering in a civic service program is one option to aid veterans in their transition. Some may call it a gap year. I call it a fulfillment year.”

The study, published in the February 2017 journal Psychiatric Research, looked at 346 veterans who completed The Mission Continues program in 2011 through 2014, volunteering 20 hours a week on specific projects for six months. Before starting, 50 percent said they had symptoms of PTSD, and nearly one-fifth reported symptoms of depression. Half were receiving treatment for mental health conditions. At the end of their volunteer service, many reported it was easier to perform normal activities, and the number of vets with probable PTSD dropped from 50 percent to 43 percent.

Says Matthieu, “The actual mechanism for why volunteering helped isn’t entirely clear. One theory is that stepping outside our own lives to focus on the needs of others causes positive things to come together.” She says the number of veterans with symptoms of depression also decreased, and they reported feeling less isolated.

EXERCISE IN A PILL Well, sort of. Multiple grants from the Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will enable Saint Louis University researchers to impact the epidemics of diabetes and obesity, armed with two nuclear receptors, REV-ERB and ERR. These control muscle metabolism, mimicking the beneficial effects of exercise in people who can’t exercise or who exercise ineffectively.

Right now, both receptor studies are in animal-model testing. Thomas Burris, Ph.D., chair of pharmacology and physiology at Saint Louis University, and his department colleague, John Walker, Ph.D., say earlier studies in animals show that a drug that targets REV-ERB appears to act as an exercise mimic; studies with ERR suggest it has the same potential.

Burris and Walker study nuclear receptor-signaling molecules that sense different hormone levels and regulate gene expression based on the signal they receive. Says Burris: “In many cases of illness, signaling is off. We can correct signals by dialing the hormone messages up or down, mimicking hormones or blocking them. The current studies aim to optimize drug compounds to dial up muscle metabolism.”

Diabetes, obesity, age-related muscle changes and even muscular dystrophy stand to benefit from a drug like this, Burris says, adding: “Diabetes and obesity are a public health crisis, and our research shows we can significantly slow the muscle-wasting process.”

YOU ITCH, I ITCH Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have confirmed in mouse studies that some behaviors are hardwired into our circuitry, like yawning and itching.

“Sometimes, all you have to do is mention itching and someone will scratch. But it is not a form of empathy,” reports Zhou-Feng Chen, Ph.D., the principal investigator and director of the Washington University Center for the Study of Itch.

After seeing mice scratch when they saw a mouse scratch on a computer screen, researchers identified the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a brain region that controls when animals fall asleep or wake up. The SCN was highly active after the mouse watched the video of the scratching mouse. They also discovered that when active, the SCN secretes a chemical substance called gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), which, in 2007, Chen identified as a key transmitter for itch signals between the skin and spinal cord.

Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly is senior author of a He explains: “The mouse doesn’t see another new study and an assistant professor of medicine mouse scratching and then think it might need at Washington University School of Medicine. to scratch, too. Instead, its brain sends out The study, published in the Feb. 22 issue of Kidney itch signals using GRP as a messenger.” When International, evaluated the use of PPIs in 125,000 Chen’s team blocked GRP or the receptor it binds BRAIN patients. It showed that patients on long-term use to, the mice did not scratch when they saw other (more than 90 days) had a greatly increased risk of mice scratch. But they were still able to scratch when chronic kidney disease and kidney failure. “The problem exposed to itch-inducing irritants. is that these drugs have been considered safe, and the doctor Chen explains that itching is widespread in the animal kingdom, just keeps refilling the prescription,” Al-Aly says. “It’s viewed as a and it has a protective function.

He says the goal of these findings is to develop transformational clinical That needs to change.

The study demonstrated that early kidney problems like low urine output or swelling in the legs and BETTER ANGIOPLASTY ankles were absent in more than half the patients, so they aren’t aware of the damage until it becomes chronic.

Coronary angioplasty, a method to open clogged arteries supplying Al-Aly says doctors must pay careful attention to kidney blood and oxygen to the heart muscle, can be lifesaving. A change in function in patients who use PPIs, even in the face of no technique is taking it to the next level. Currently, many physicians use the symptoms.

More important, PPIs should not be the first line of deeper femoral artery in the groin to access the coronary arteries, but treatment for heartburn; instead, diet, exercise, and reducing switching access to a more superficial artery in the wrist allows patients risk factors like smoking and alcohol should come first. “PPIs to be discharged the same day. A study published in the Feb. 20 issue of should be used short-term only, one to four weeks,” he notes.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed that shifting only Patients who take PPIs need to tell their doctors so other 30 percent of angioplasties to the new technique could save the U.S. solutions can be found and they can be monitored for effects. $300 million a year.

We have unequivocal evidence that we have better outcomes ... through a blood vessel in the wrist.

Dr. Amit P. Amin, first author of the study and assistant professor of medicine at Washington University, says, “We have unequivocal evidence that we have better outcomes when we perform radial angioplasty through a blood vessel in the wrist.” He says there is less bleeding, fewer complications, less pain and discomfort, higher patient satisfaction, shorter hospital stays and lower costs.

Coronary angioplasty is done to alleviate chest pain or shortness of breath caused by clogged coronary arteries. By threading a small catheter into either the wrist or groin artery, the cardiologist can view the narrowed heart artery, deliver an inflatable balloon to open it, and place a stent to keep it open. So why aren’t all angioplasties performed through the wrist? Amin says the femoral artery is bigger and offers a straighter route to the coronary arteries, so many physicians have not yet mastered the new technique.

“The American College of Cardiology stated it’s easier on patients than a tooth cleaning. Patients are 80 percent awake. They walk around within 2 hours and then go home,” he says.

HEARTBURN MEDS & KIDNEY FAILURE Chronic heartburn is rampant in this country. Doctors breathed a sigh of relief when a class of drugs called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) proved extremely effective for controlling it. PPIs include Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec and Protonix. The problem is too much of a good thing.

More than 15 million Americans suffering from heartburn, ulcers and acid reflux disease get prescriptions from their doctors for PPIs, and millions more buy them over the counter.

Research on finding a cure is picking up speed, and one target is tau protein in the brain. Normal tau protein contributes to healthy, functioning brain neurons. But in some people, it collects into toxic tangles that damage brain cells.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have shown in animal studies that a synthetic molecule can reduce levels of tau protein and neurologic damage.

The study in mice and monkeys came out Jan. 25 in Science Translational Medicine. Timothy Miller, M.D., Ph.D., professor of neurology and the study’s senior author, explains that the synthetic molecule, an antisense oligonucleotide, may treat neurodegenerative diseases based on abnormal tau. Oligonucleotides interfere with instructions for building proteins. They can bind to RNA, a messenger molecule that carries those instructions, and target it for destruction before the bad protein can be built. Oligonucleotides can be designed to target RNA for almost any protein, good news for those identified as problematic in Alzheimer’s patients.

Miller says the particular molecule that targets tau protein reduction probably will be most effective in a specific population of people who have a tau gene mutation.

He says they hope to have human trials within a year or so. Such trials are already underway for oligonucleotides to treat Huntington’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

JUMP-START WEIGHT LOSS For significantly overweight people, aspiration therapy helps rid their bodies of excess calories before they are even absorbed. Developed by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine, this device can help patients lose up to 14 percent of their body weight while learning healthier ways to eat and exercise.

The aspiration device is a tube with holes along the surface that is implanted about 5 inches into the stomach. The end of the tube protrudes slightly from the skin but is undetectable under a shirt. During a meal, the patient must eat very slowly and chew food well, combining it with lots of water. Then, 30 to 60 minutes after eating, they hook the tube up to a reservoir of tap water to flush into the stomach and withdraw the pureed food, removing about one-third of it.

Dr. Vladimir Kushnir, director of the Bariatric Endoscopy Center at Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, was involved in early clinical trials and has been following patients for about three years. Kushnir says, “People must learn to eat smaller portion sizes and consume fewer calories. Eating differently is a big part of the weight loss. Most patients perform aspiration therapy once or twice a day after their largest meals.” He sees the device as an aid in helping patients eventually gain more control over consumption.

The advantage of this therapy over surgical procedures like lap band or gastric bypass is that it is minimally invasive with little downtime, and it doesn’t make permanent changes to the body. He says the best time to remove it is when it’s used only once a day and weight has been stable for months.

The device is recommended for people with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 to 55, which is considered medically significant obesity. Many who are eligible also have other health problems STO M AC H like diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea. Although FDA approved, it currently is not covered by most insurance plans.

relief for Chronic Pain One hundred million American adults suffer with chronic pain at a cost to society of about $600 billion a year. Currently, many patients have the choice of continuing to suffer or taking opioid pain medications, which have a wellpublicized addictive potential and horrible side effects. “We have an urgent need for safer, non-addictive pain medications,” says Daniela Salvemini, Ph.D., a professor of pharmacology and physiology at Saint Louis University and principal investigator in a new study. She has been awarded a grant by the Mayday Fund to determine if either of two key molecules can be used as biomarkers for specific types of pain.

In previous work, Salvemini discovered pain pathways, the molecular series of events that lead to it, to help researchers understand how it occurs. The pain pathways are dependent on two molecules, S1PR1 and A3AR. By modulating these molecules, scientists were able to block and reverse pain.

Salvemini explains, “If patients with pain have a high level of these molecules in their blood or tissues, these markers may serve as useful measurements to know if a pain pathway is activated and whether these patients might benefit from a drug that specifically targets these molecules.”

Mouse models confirmed that by modulating these markers, they were able to block and reverse pain. This new grant will allow them to study people and take blood samples and measure levels of these receptors. They may find that some types of pain have increased levels and others don’t, allowing them to identify patients most likely to respond to a particular treatment.

Right now, Salvemini and her team will start by studying patients with pain from chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. Blood samples will be gathered in a pre-clinical phase to identify candidates for therapy. The goal is to find effective targeted treatments.

PTSD & HEART HEALTH Young veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are being diagnosed with cardiovascular and metabolic conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and ischemic heart disease at much higher rates than veterans without PTSD.

Jeffrey Scherrer, Ph.D., Saint Louis University associate professor in family and community medicine, has received a $2.3 million grant to study the effects of treating PTSD on cardiovascular and metabolic health. The four-year study has started and will look at medical data from veterans between the ages of 18 and 70, the majority of whom served in the Iraqi and Afghan conflicts.

Says Scherrer, “The study has two components. Medical chart data extraction looks at 5,960 patient treatment records for V.A. patients being treated for PTSD in clinics that provide cognitive processing therapy or prolonged exposure therapy.

Then, that data will be merged wwith the larger number of variables contained in the V.A.’s national patient database and coded for positive cardiovascular behavior like diet classes and smoking cessation treatment.”

The study will equalize factors that may confuse the results by comparing the records with those of 5,960 patients without PTSD complaints. Scherrer wants to know whether patients who get relief from PTSD symptoms through therapy are more able to decrease risky behaviors that harm cardiovascular and metabolic health. Is improving health behaviors enough to lower risk for these conditions, or do these risks remain because of psychological changes caused by PTSD? “If what our pilot data suggests is true and reductions in PTSD symptoms are associated with improved health behaviors, then physicians and therapists can encourage patients at the start of PTSD treatment to change their health behaviors,” Scherrer says.

Otherwise, those patients will require lifelong, aggressive monitoring.

PREDICTINg DEPRESSION Analyzing functional MRI brain scans of newborns, researchers at Washington University found that the strength and type of connections between certain brain regions predicted which babies developed shyness, anxiety or nervousness by age 2. These symptoms have been linked to clinical depression and anxiety disorders in older children and adults.

The research was published in the February issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.

By comparing the brain scans of preemies and full-term babies, they found the preemies had weaker connections between the amygdala and the insula and pre-frontal cortex regions of the brain.

The amygdala is involved with processing emotions; the insula with consciousness and emotion. The pre-frontal cortex plays roles in planning and decision-making. Those weaker connections appear to increase the risk of early symptoms related to depression and anxiety.

Sixty-five full-term newborns and 57 babies born at least 10 weeks early were studied. Dr. Cynthia Rogers, assistant professor of child psychiatry and primary author on the study, found the findings interesting, but says they want to follow these same babies longer into life and do repeat scans at ages 9 or 10 to see if the brain connections continue to influence the risk of depression and anxiety disorders.

“We want to see if full-term babies and preemies have the same risk caused by the same weak connections and whether, as the children get older, we see a widening gap in disorders between the two groups. We know that pre-term babies are at risk for other problems like ADHD and autism. Connectivity may be a factor in predicting such problems in preterm babies as well.”

Rogers says if they identify brain disruptions early, they can develop treatments to alter how the brain centers function. She says other factors like genetics and stress can influence whether a child develops depression or other cognitive problems. “As we bring the older children back for retesting, we can collect information on the home environment and positive parenting practices to help us understand why some at-risk babies developed normally.”

by KARYN WILLIAMS p h o t o s b y s u z y g o rman

What started as a small farmhouse built in the 1940s has, decades later, been transformed by a series of additions into a sprawling Cape Cod-style home full of warmth and memories. Far from its humble, boxy beginnings, the Ladue property most recently belonged to Scott and Stacy Galt (until it sold during this publication process). Stacy, who grew up immersed in art and design, used her expertise to choose striking features like walnut ceilings and walls; clean, open spaces; and unique European treasures to convert the house into its current, six-bedroom grandeur.

T h e o ri g inal f arm h o u s e b u il t in t h e 1 9 4 0 s

How long did you live in the home?

Going on seven years. We lived in it a couple of years the way it was while we went back and forth with the architect on my sketches.

What was it like when you moved in?

Various owners had built additions throughout the years, and we ended up removing some of those.

The people we bought it from had just put on a fairly new addition five years prior. My husband was excited, thinking it was the one area that was salvageable, but I thought it was the worst part of the house! The ceilings were low, and it had a loadbearing wall down one-third of it. A lot of times it's cheaper to take a room down to the studs and build new, but it's a fine line. I always want to keep the character and charm of an older house while also having it be up to date.

What do you like about older houses?

I love the interest and challenge of an older home.

You have to figure out how to make small, dark rooms light and bright. My husband grew up in Ladue and is used to older homes, but I grew up out west, so I was familiar with new construction.

How did you start designing interiors?

My parents were both high school art teachers for 30 years. My life has been filled with projects; my dad would paint all winter, and we would go to art shows in Colorado in the summer. My mom was constantly rearranging furniture and painting things.

One day, she just said we should sell the house and start something new. So my dad came home from work to a 'For Sale' sign in our yard! I graduated from the UCLA film program and wanted to pursue that industry. But I acted as the general contractor on

the first house I built when I moved back to St. Louis, which won awards with a local publication. I was recognized by Bob Brinkmann (founder and CEO of Brinkmann Constructors) for that when I was at a restaurant with my mom, and he asked us to design his enormous estate—it was just a blank slate. So he really started my mom, dad and me in this business more than 15 years ago.

I l o v e t h e in t e r e s t an d c h all e n g e o f an o l d e r h o m e .

Describe your aesthetic.

I prefer clean, simple interiors. I love the interesting juxtaposition of an older home's exterior with an interior that feels like an art gallery when you walk in, which is what I did with this one. But I love it all. I also appreciate homes that are super contemporary on the outside and inside.

The wood is gorgeous in the kitchen and living area.

It's walnut. I wanted that room to be open and big, but if your ceiling is too high or it's too vast a space, it can become cavernous. I wanted it to stay cozy, so I started with the wood on two walls to help with that. Then I just kept going on the ceiling and another wall; my contractor was afraid it would be dark, but I still went for it and am glad I did!

It looks like it's a great home for entertaining.

We loved having parties! We could fit so many people; one time we had around 200 there, and it worked. The kitchen is my favorite for that because the layout is so conducive to entertaining. We would fill the sink in the island with ice and throw in beer or shrimp.

I love your son's room with the secret hideaway.

That was all my mom. There was a closet adjacent to the room, so she suggested cutting a mouse

hole and using it as a secret play area. It was the room of my youngest son, who is 5; I have four boys up to the age of 19. He always had a ton of toys in there. My dad does woodworking as well, so he built and painted the tree, the little door, the shutters and the bed! The little guy loved it.

Some of the pieces in the home look like they could be family heirlooms.

Do any have stories?

My parents and I used to have an antiques store, The French Wench Antiques, so we would travel to France to find antiques and architectural pieces for it. The ones I loved always got a higher price tag so I could inherit them! My husband also grew up with an appreciation for art and has some artwork and furniture pieces that were passed down from his grandma, like the grandfather clock in our bathroom. The doors to our bedroom are from the Admiral, St. Louis' iconic riverboat back in the day.

My grandparents actually took their honeymoon cruise on it! I found the doors on Craigslist in a barn in the middle of Illinois.

homework] Dear Homework,

Our family has been in this house a couple of years and we’re ready to get to work! Since we need to replace the aluminum siding and would like to replace the original windows, can we create a significant upgrade in curb appeal by re-thinking these costly items?

Sincerely, —Ready to Get to Work

Dear Ready to Get to Work,

If you would combine new siding and new windows with a few other changes, not only could you increase the home’s curb appeal, you could completely change the look of your house.

Your house basically has a Tudor design, but the prim white clapboard siding and white doublehung windows confuse things. If the siding was wavy, dark-stained boards and the windows were also dark brown, the façade would feel more comfortable in its own skin.

A few other changes could help things along. By whitewashing the brick, the stone elements would feel more integrated. A new stone planter wall reiterates this material and makes the façade feel wider.

A bigger, bolder light fixture over the front door completes the architectural changes.

Removing a street tree would reveal the architectural changes, and new evergreens to the left block out the neighboring house. A new, continuous hedge runs under the living room windows, and the dogwood has been moved to the far left so as not to block the facade’s most powerful element (the chimney). The existing liriope border has been extended.

The house now feels more authentic and stylish. I also think it feels bigger.

Hope that gives you direction, —Homework

Citronella:

the natural way to keep mosquitoes at bay Summer is the time of year for me to kick back, slow down a bit, and enjoy all the hard work I’ve put into my garden. One of my favorite ways to do this is to bring the dining experience outdoors. For that, you have to be willing to deal with some challenges: the weather being one, and, of course, insects being the other. There’s not much I can do about the weather, but when it comes to dealing with bugs, I have a safe and pleasant defense: citronella. The following are three ways to use it outdoors.

Candles

One natural repellant is the citronella candle, which comes in a variety of sizes and containers. The wax has been blended with citronella oil. I like to put larger ones in galvanized buckets around the garden where my guests will be having dinner. Small votive candles make an enchanting (and effective) addition to the dinner table.

[ citronella torches ] You’ll need: ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤

Citronella oil Glass wine bottles Bottle caps or washers Wicks Gravel or marbles Funnel

To Make:

Plants

The citronella plant is a scented geranium also known as ‘mosquito plant’ because of its ability to repel mosquitoes. Pot a few containers for the deck or patio and enjoy the soft purple blooms and wonderful lemon scent. You also can break a leaf, bend it and rub the oil on your skin for an all-natural insect repellent. » Plant one or two citronella plants in a large container, at least 12 inches apart. » Ensure your soil is light and well drained, preferably on the dry side. Avoid too much fertilizer because excess nitrogen reduces the fragrance. » Trim back this vigorous grower regularly, and shape into any form you choose.

» Add gravel to the bottle to give it weight and stability. It also looks good and displaces the amount of citronella oil you’ll have to put in the bottle. You can use marbles or other solid objects as well. » Cut a hole in the bottle cap and push the wick through it to keep the wick stable. You need only about ¼ inch of the wick coming through the bottle cap at the top. Another option is to use washers. » Pour the citronella oil into the bottle. A funnel comes in handy! You will want the wick sitting in about 2 to 3 inches of oil. » Place the wick in the bottle and screw on the cap or washer. The wick should be held in place tightly. » Allow a few minutes for the wick to draw the oil up to the top before lighting.

DIY Torches

Citronella oil is an aromatic oil derived from a tropical grass that is a close cousin to lemongrass popular in Asian foods. As an oil, it’s long been prized for its fragrance and insect-repelling qualities. You can use this oil by burning it in torches. When lit, the atmosphere is perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. I make my own version of tiki torches using bottles that would otherwise be discarded.
