EDITORIAL

KARYN WILLIAMS ALEXA BEATTIE JULIA M. JOHNSON

from the editor's desk This weekend something wonderful is happening: it’s the Central West End Home & Garden Tour. Town&Style is the print media sponsor of this event, and in our last issue (May 24), we pictured the exterior of the 10 homes on the tour, which takes place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (June 10 and 11). You will not want to miss it if A.) you love old homes, B.) you are a history buff, C.) you are curious about the rise and fall—and rise again—of one of St. Louis’ most iconic neighborhoods.

This year the tour is focused on two blocks of a single magnificent street, Westminster Place, a tract of land with ties to the Civil War, Washington University, Gone With the Wind, Pierre Laclede, Missouri’s first governor, the Maryland Avenue Saks Fifth Avenue, and T.S. Eliot. If you want to know how, you’ll have to take the tour (or read our May 24 issue). Each home has a fascinating history and I, for one, can’t wait to see the interiors.

As in so many cities, our once-glamourous urban residences experienced decline in the 1960s and ’70s and were almost lost forever. Most of the homes on this house tour went through years of misuse as boarding houses and haphazard transformations into multifamily units. But thanks to the dedication of St. Louisans determined to preserving our local heritage, and with help from a strong neighborhood association, the structures were lovingly restored, many to historic accuracy.

Today we understand the value of saving these properties. When selfless St. Louisans invested in the failing neighborhood and its diminshed homes, they not only saved works of architectural art, they also saved a neighborhood and a historic corner of our city.

When we participate in the CWE house tour, we, too, add our voices in support of preservation.

SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, IN A SPACE BARELY BIGGER THAN A SHOE BOX, La Salle Middle School

opened its doors to 14 sixth-grade students. The two-room school—above Big Mo’s Sandwich Shop in the Ville neighborhood of North St. Louis—was a joint initiative of residents and members of St. Matthew the Apostle Parish and Christian Brothers of the Midwest, all of whom recognized a need in the neighborhood. Children ate lunch at their desks and, at recess, they knocked about on a dusty square of blacktop out back. One year later, to accommodate a seventh-grade class, the school moved around the corner and down the street to an ill-lit space that formerly housed a roller rink.

But that was then.

Now, La Salle Middle not only serves 100 students in grades five through eight, but does so in a glittering new facility 2 miles from its former location on Jefferson Avenue. “There’s so much light!” says Melissa Brickey, executive director of De La Salle Inc., the nonprofit that supports the public charter school. “And so much space.”

The footprint, according to Brickey, takes up nearly 2 acres and includes both the pristine renovation of an existing building and brand-new construction. Even though the school has yet to raise the last $1.5 million of the $6.5 million total, an arts and movement center is on track to open this fall. In many ways, this center will be the school’s crown jewel, serving as a hub for arts and enrichment. Much of the after-school programming will happen here, and, as Brickey explains, these kinds of activities (drumming, dance, robotics and yoga, for example) can have great impact on children’s growth, academic and otherwise. “[Enrichment like this] exposes kids to what can become lifelong passions,” she says. “It’s so important to do something we love.” The center’s design includes a commons area, indoor basketball hoops, and a stage with light and sound systems for theater and dance productions. Brickey stresses that it will serve the local community as well, providing space for meetings and events. The main building houses offices, classrooms, a library of around 3,000 books, multipurpose areas and conference rooms.

But that’s just what’s going on inside. There’s green visible through these light-filled windows now; that old blacktop is a distant memory. There are plans for an alfresco classroom and a robust outdoor program, which will teach students how to grow food and maintain native plantings.

“Being outside in fresh air prepares kids for learning,” Brickey says.

The students and staff have spent one full academic year in their shiny new home, and Brickey says the excitement hasn’t worn off yet. Next year—now that they have room—the school hopes to increase its numbers by 20, with a long-term vision of serving many more down the line. In June, it will begin offering hard hat tours to interested members of the community.

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

With an Eclipse Festival coming up in August and the world’s largest man-made moon rotating there already, why not add a Ferris wheel in U. City? My, my and a wag of the finger … what would the neighbors think? Well, they probably wouldn’t think any more ill of it than of the heady aroma of grease that used to emanate from the southeast corner of Skinker and Delmar, where stood a Church’s fried chicken restaurant once upon a time. Many ideas have been floated for that corner, but still, the Church’s building sits vacant, teasing folks like me who loved the product despite having to watch the whole gruesome process (save the clucking and plucking). Anyhow, the Ferris wheel at this point is just a brainchild floated by an StL developer and the folks who erected a ‘yuuuge’ Ferris wheel in Atlanta. But we already have more concrete plans for a Ferris wheel at Union Station, which also will have an enormous aquarium; and a Ferris wheel is making its rotations at Six Flags as we speak. Is the public clamoring for yet one more? That remains to be seen. Skyview, the 200-foot-tall Ferris wheel that operates in Atlanta’s downtown Centennial Park, has been making money since its installation in 2013.

Yet it was removed from Pensacola, Florida, where it was a total bust. There’s plenty else to do in U. City, as there is in downtown Atlanta, and if a trolley line can make it in The Loop, maybe a 120-foot-tall Ferris wheel can, too? But the Loop Trolley has yet to run (with paying passengers), so this is all idle musing at this point. One can dream, can’t one? Joe Edwards and his ilk in U. City certainly do.

U. CITY

Better get those overdue books back to the Clayton branch of the County Library, because as early as September, the walls will come a-tumbling down.

That’s right, construction of the brand-new building is expected to begin this fall and wrap up by the fall of

2018. Sorry Claytonians: although you’d expect the name to change to the Clayton Branch, it has officially been the Mid-County Branch since the Clayton Library merged in 1977 with the county system, and the new sign on the front of the building will say ‘Mid-County.’ But when you see the design, you might want to rub your eyes and take a second look, because it totally resembles the nearby post office (that is not a compliment). The facility is among four remaining branches to be replaced or renovated, thanks to the ‘Your Library Renewed’ capital campaign. Voters in 2012 approved a $.06 tax increase to fund new facilities and upgrades to existing structures, as well as enhanced library programs and services.

Projects at 11 branches have been completed, and three are under way. The Clayt … oops … Mid-County Branch project cost estimate is $8.5 million. Using pretty much the same footprint at the northeast corner of Central and Maryland avenues, the new building will be 16,330 square feet on a single floor over a garage. Designed by Christner Architects, the branch will include amenities such as: • enhanced children’s area • quiet reading room • updated community meeting room • two private study rooms • business center with fax, copy and scanning machines Forest Park Forever is at it again! The latest project to be unveiled is a $5.8 million revamp of Central Fields, the 29-acre area that’s home to events like the Balloon Glow and LouFest, but also to competitive athletics. As part of the current multiyear phase of capital improvement projects in the park ... which, we always have to remind ‘Nuyawkers,’ is bigger than Central Park in NYC … the fields will be rebuilt and enhanced during the remainder of this year and into 2018.

This project originates in the park’s 1995 master plan, which continues to guide the park’s significant restoration efforts. Central Fields project highlights include: • Reconfiguring the athletic fields to provide new soccer and rugby fields; softball play will move to the Aviation Fields • Building new trails and sidewalks to provide better visitor access • Replacing the existing field house/comfort station, which is in poor condition, with two new structures • Improving pedestrian circulation to and from Central Fields with trails to the Jewel Box, the existing trails near Steinberg Rink, and the Festival & Parking Plaza at the Upper Muny • Planting new trees and complementary new landscaping The project has been funded primarily by private donations to Forest Park Forever’s special ‘Forever’ capital campaign, with additional funds provided by the City of St. Louis. If you were as yet unaware, Forest Park Forever is A BIG DEAL. Founded in 1986, the organization raised

$100 million between 1995 and 2003 and already has restored iconic park features like the Jewel Box, Boathouse and Emerson Grand Basin. Since it’s not part of the ZooMuseum Tax District, Forest Park Forever is supported by private donations, including from its 7,500 members, 1,100 volunteers, and community and corporate partners.

Congrats to our regional Better Business Bureau (BBB), which became a centenarian May 19! When it was founded 100 years ago at the Statler Hotel, BBB ferreted out snake-oil salesmen and counterfeit minks, and helped put the kibosh on bait-and-switch schemes.

Today, BBB helps unplug online scams and warns consumers about shady websites, as well as the brick-and-mortar companies that apparently don’t know their bricks from mortar. A current BBB warning is about two St. Louis-based memorabilia websites, baseballcollectorsdaily.com and sportscollectorswarehouse.com, the focus of recent consumer complaints claiming the sites delivered inferior products, failed to make good on orders and were late in issuing refunds. BBB also believes some methods used by the businesses, which include the sales of mystery prize boxes and prize lotteries the business refers to as ‘breaks,’ might run afoul of Missouri gambling laws. The business is run by ‘two dudes in a basement’ and is an operation that grew faster than they could maintain it. It’s registered with the Missouri Secretary of State as Tango and Cash Enterprises LLC, and they admit the business is having problems dealing

with its customers. Consumers have made a dozen complaints to the BBB in 2017 about the websites, nine of which went unanswered until BBB finally reached the company. It wasn’t easy, because neither website lists a contact number, email address or physical address. BBB officials say owners’ failure to respond to customers in a timely manner should give consumers pause. We say they can sure say that again.

A few steps remain before the former Shriners Hospital for Children property, which has languished between Plaza Frontenac and St. Joseph’s Academy since it was vacated in 2014, can morph into the multiuse redevelopment proposed by the Desco Group, Schnucks’ commercial real estate subsidiary. The $80 million Frontenac project is to feature a three-story retail and office center, two restaurants and a Life Time Fitness center, according to recent plans under review by the city’s planning and zoning commission, which must give its blessing before a decision by the Board of Aldermen. P&Z was to weigh in after its May 31 session, which is after this issue went to press. Public comments are being incorporated. Meanwhile, Desco officials tout Life Time Fitness as a plum tenant, noting that the center will be designed along the same lines as the company’s flagship location in Manhattan, NYC. Childcare for children as young as 3 months will be available for members of the ‘Life Time Athletic’

facility, which at 70,000 square feet will be a full, resort-quality spa to anchor Frontenac Commons, the working name for the 9-acre development at 2001 S. Lindbergh Blvd. The new property would be directly accessible to Plaza Frontenac via a drive around Fleming’s steakhouse. The site is zoned residential; the hospital operated under a conditional use permit.

Meanwhile, Shriners moved to a $50 million, stateof-the-art facility it built last year at 4400 Clayton Ave. in St. Louis City. Some residents of Frontenac Woods, just to the west of the Shriners development, had questions when the plan was first presented to

the commission in April, but reportedly the project has not faced major opposition. One reason, we surmise, is that the back of the old hospital had about as much charm as, well, the proposed new Mid-County Library building. Apparently, there’s not significant NIMBY or BANANA activity surrounding Frontenac Commons; NIMBY being the acronym for Not In My Back Yard. BANANA was a new one for us: it stands for Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything. Either acronym, of course, would apply to any plans for a gas station or fast-food joint, which would be DOA in the fair city of Frontenac.

The case for collaborative divorce: Settlement is not easy Stange Law Firm, PC

Most individuals going through a divorce like the idea of settling before having to take it to a courtroom.

When it comes to collaborative divorce some people may question the reasoning behind it being so simple.

Why would two people that are able to settle their divorce so easily want to get divorced in the first place?

The reality is that many married couples have a hard time compromising and understanding each other even throughout their marriage, so when divorce proceedings begin matters can often get worse.

Now, there can be hard feelings.

Individuals can be upset. They may feel betrayed. This makes communication harder than it even was before.

So, how can settlement take place in a scenerio such as this?

In collaborative divorce, both parties want to settle. They are working

to reach an agreement out of court.

But they know that this is going to take work. They know that it isn’t easy. They know it will take time, and they know that they need the help of professionals because they are not capable of doing it all on their own.

Collaborative divorce offers the hope of settlement where it might not be there otherwise. Both parties have attorneys on a limited scope representation — where the attorneys are committed to helping the parties settle.

Otherwise, they cannot be litigation attorneys if settlement negotiations break down and litigation commences.

Collaborative lawyers are generally members of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (“IACP”). They are trained in both mediation and collaborative practice.

In most areas, only a limited numbers of attorneys are members of the IACP. Parties also get the assistance of professionals such as, a divorce coach, financial neutral and a child custody

professional. These professionals help the parties reach different solutions to conclude a settlement.

Although settlement is preferable for most parties, it is not always an option for every party. But if two parties are in agreement and want to settle, collaborative divorce is something to consider.

IT MAY NEVER BE AN EPISODE OF DATELINE

or 48 Hours. (I doubt it would even make it on the ID network.) But to me, it is a mystery I need solved.

I suspect it never will be—that is, unless you, dear reader, know something, anything, that can help.

It all started when my siblings and I were getting our mom’s house ready for sale. She had a love for decorative lawn ornaments, things like rabbits, angels and a few religious ones like the Virgin Mary.

She did not, however, have any gnomes, which are my favorite. After a long day packing at the house, I mentioned the house really needed a gnome. I realized the gnome would have a short life at my mom’s, but once the place sold, I could reclaim it. I guess I was feeling sentimental about wanting to hold onto something from my family’s home—or I could just admit I was being a smart ass because I wanted a particular kind of gnome, one that was flipping the bird. No, not holding a bird, but making an obscene gesture. My siblings laughed, said 'good luck,' and if I did find one, they said to put it by the back door so every time people walked into the house ... well, you get the drift.

Thanks to Amazon, two days later I had the gnome.

I drove over to my mother’s house and placed it facing the back door, right next to where we hid the spare key. I knew its days were numbered because I figured the real estate agent would take one look at it and say, ‘That has to go.’ But with all six of us in and out of the house, it had the potential to be a funny joke among us. Teresa, who stopped by on a regular basis, started moving the gnome around the garden, kind of like, 'Where’s Waldo?’ So everyone looked for the gnome and got a chuckle. Until the gnome disappeared.

At first, I was not overly concerned. I expected to receive a picture of the gnome with a ransom note attached. I looked all over for it. I talked to (interrogated) my siblings to see if they took him. But having been the brunt of numerous jokes my entire life, I could tell that none of them was responsible.

Someone outside the family had taken the gnome!

I felt some hope when I saw that a metal dog stolen from the Venice Café was returned after a public plea. Someone’s uncle (who may or may not have had a shady past) gifted the contraband, but once the recipient realized where it came from, they returned it. My mom’s house now has been sold, so the gnome cannot be returned to its original location. So if you have information as to the whereabouts of the gnome, please email me. We can determine a safe drop-off site. No questions asked.

Each day I look for a postcard from the little guy saying he is having fun in the Bahamas but is now ready to spend the summer with me. He’s not just any gnome to me. Every time I look at him (yes, I have a picture of him on my phone), I think of how a group of siblings got through a tough time while still making each other laugh. Phone home, gnome!

Kudos to SEN. JOHN C. DANFORTH, who will be recognized for his nearly 50 years of public service when he receives the

Winston Churchill Leadership Medal from the National Churchill

Museum in Fulton, Missouri. Danforth, 80, was elected Missouri Attorney General in 1968, after which he served in the U.S. Senate for three terms and was a U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Author Doris Kearns Goodwin will deliver the keynote address at the award ceremony June 8 at Bellerive Country Club.

KATIE ROTH WOOLS, creative director at W.U.’s Olin School of Business, is a Gold Winner in the 2017 Hermes Creative Awards competition. She was recognized for the tribute she created to mark Shakespeare’s 453rd birthday. Her playful poster and banners were instrumental in Olin’s celebration of the day April 23.

Another great season awaits St. Louis theatergoers when THE REP launches its Mainstage lineup Sept. 6: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the NightTime; Hamlet; Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley; The Marvelous Wonderettes; The Humans; Born Yesterday.

Congrats to three young filmmakers from WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY whose films earned two of the 28 spots from around the nation to get a screening at the 2017 Campus MovieFest short film program in Cannes, France. Sagar Brahmbhatt directed one of the films, Grieve; George Gathiani and Evan Gates co-wrote Floor is Lava, which Gates also directed. Last fall, Campus MovieFest staff spent a week at W.U. during which students had five days to script, film and produce their shorts.

A third-grade team from Kirkwood School District’s Tillman Elementary placed third in the Gifted Resource Council’s recent Equations Competition, and the school’s fifth-grade team took fourth place. Third-grader Everett Lawder placed second among contestants in his grade. The event was held at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

The private high school that serves students with learning disabilities has launched its own baseball team. Known as Miriam Magic, the team helps students learn about athletics, leadership skills and teamwork.

Students from the district took home honors for their environmental sustainability projects in this year’s U.S. Green Building Council-Missouri Gateway Chapter Green Schools Quest. Westchester Elementary and Kirkwood High earned first place for their grade levels, and North Kirkwood Middle School earned an honorable mention. Winning projects covered subjects such as sustainable chicken raising and produce farming.

Ten students from Parkway high schools are set to participate in the Missouri Scholars Academy, a three-week summer academic program for gifted students held at the University of Missouri: Justin Hudgins, Katherine Luckerman and Yerin Moon from Parkway Central; Connor Huthsing, Jessica Goldberg and Safiya Ratliff from Parkway North; Emily Linn and Amy Zhang from Parkway South; Lauren Chapman and Deirdre Jost from Parkway West.

This phrase—meaning a wealthy, middle-aged man who spends money on a young woman in return for her companionship—may have originated around 1908 when a man named Adolph Spreckles inherited a large fortune from Spreckles Sugar.

Being an eligible bachelor, it wasn’t long before he married a woman named Alma who was 24 years younger. It is said that she called her husband ‘Sugar Daddy’ as a term of affection.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD BANK BRANCHES POPPING UP; WHAT IS THE RATIONALE FOR SO MANY? WHAT NEEDS DO THEY FILL?

Reliance Bank takes pride in being a locally owned and managed community bank, and that’s the reason we continue to open branches within the St. Louis metropolitan area.

While we continue to expand locally, we realize that with the current technology of online and mobile banking, the number of customers who walk into a branch has decreased.

Reliance Bank has been a trendsetter when it comes to partnering with retailers and other tenants to leverage building space. There is just no need for large bank lobbies anymore. For example, we are leasing out building space to the United States Postal Service at our Manchester Road location and to Edward Jones in Wildwood. We are located inside Tim Hortons Café & Bake Shop in O’Fallon, Illinois, and are about to open our 23rd location in Rock Hill, where we are leasing half of our space to the St. Louis Frozen Custard Factory. There are three business objectives here—put unneeded space to use, increase foot traffic by partnering with other businesses, and gain leasing revenue.

Despite the decrease in lobby space, our branches continue to be full-service locations. All locations still have traditional bankers to interact with customers, and all branches have an ATM. Some of our branches have video teller machines with extended hours, and some have technology bars. This brings me to our most important objective of all—to give customers options and let them choose how they want to bank!

”

—THOMAS H. BROUSTER CHAIRMAN & CEO RELIANCE BANK

We began doing business in 1894 as a community bank, focusing on the people and businesses in the area near our offices, reinvesting dollars in the community, and creating jobs. As such, it’s critical to be present and available to our customers. While some banks have scaled back on brick and mortar buildings, we are taking a different approach. Now, more than ever, people want personal service and a handshake. We are committed to providing that kind of service. Our retail branches also house our local commercial and SBA lenders, which allows our employees to live and work in the areas we serve. This gives us a greater understanding of the unique needs and opportunities in each community and gives us the edge in local decision making.

As a company, we believe it’s our responsibility— and honor—to give back to these communities. We encourage and support our employees’ involvement in local organizations and charities.

Our ‘We Care about Kids’ program has donated more than $250,000 to area schools near our branches. These opportunities are created by being physically present and engaging with our customers on a personal level.

We are based in Jefferson County, with branches in Festus and Arnold. Our expansion has extended into St. Louis County with the opening of our Kirkwood branch last November. We will continue this growth with our Chesterfield banking center in June, Sunset Hills this November, and two future sites we’re considering for 2018.

BY A L E X A B E AT T I E SHOPPING HAS BECOME SO IMPERSONAL, so hands-off. From our phones and computers, we order clothes we’ve never felt, we buy books we’ve never held.

Our packages arrive in the mail and when what we ordered online isn’t quite what we’d hoped, we either swallow our disappointment or go through the hassle of returning it. Whatever happened to inspecting the wares and seeking the advice of a knowledgeable merchant? What happened to simple, friendly interaction?

Thankfully, there are stores in our town that still emphasize the personal and make it their business to offer what online shopping cannot. Left Bank Books has been doing so for nearly 50 years, and not only focuses on customer service, but community service as well. In 2010, it established the Left Bank Books Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes literacy by providing books and literary programming for public school children and other populations. The store prides itself on more than 200 (mostly free) author events a year, bringing the public up close to personalities like Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, and big-name authors like Elizabeth Strout, Jonathan Franzen, Augusten Burroughs and Ann Patchett.

“Human connection makes all the difference,” says Left Bank Books co-owner Kris Kleindienst. “Not only do shoppers get to interact with great authors, but also with staff who are passionate about the books we sell.”

The store also hosts a number of reading groups, from Ferguson Reads, which explores issues of race, to Shakespeare, horror and LGBT book groups.

“Online shopping is such a manipulated experience,” Kleindienst says, adding that at stores like Left Bank, shopping involves a process of discovery. “It’s an organic experience—you might come for a mystery novel, but leave with a wonderful children’s book,” she says.

Pam Debandt, owner of Kirkwood’s Ginger & Mary Ann Boutique, says she and other small merchants, both local and across the country, are feeling the effects of online shopping. “People don’t realize the impact it has,” she says, citing the 3/50 Project, an organization with a mission to strengthen independent brick and mortar businesses. According to that group, $68 of every $100 spent in a locally owned, independent store returns to the community, compared to zero dollars

from online shopping. Debandt says she tries not to stock anything department stores carry. “I want to be unique, and I can’t compete with Macy’s.”

Ginger & Mary Ann has been in business since 2010 and prides itself on its customer service. “That’s something you don’t get online,” Debandt says. And while some women may seek out the anonymity of an online shop, where things can be tried on in the privacy of their home, she says there’s immeasurable value in receiving real feedback from an experienced shopkeeper. “Women are so hard on themselves,” she adds. “They don’t like their knees or their arms, and I can sometimes feel like a counselor, helping them embrace themselves and pick out what’s right for them.”

HUMAN CONNECTION MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Debandt adds other little touches to enhance the Ginger & Mary Ann shopping experience as well. Every Thursday is ‘Thirsty Thursday.’ Wine is served all day, and the store is open until 7 p.m. Additionally, wine and cheese events for parties of 10 combine fun and fashion, and guests receive a 10 percent discount off their purchases. “Sometimes, people are in and out in a few minutes, but sometimes they linger longer,” Debandt says. “We play dress-up, and it’s fun.”

TOWN TALK

[TECH T LK by sheila burkett

APPS FOR TRAVELING Summertime is travel time, so you might want to know about some great apps I’ve discovered.

➧ Hopper is a resource for

finding the best flight prices.

Recently I used it to watch for the best time to buy tickets for a trip with friends. I picked two different locations and dates we were considering, and Hopper monitored the airline ticket prices for me.

It will tell you if the current ticket price is the best, or if they anticipate prices to go down. Imagine our excitement when we were able to get round-trip tickets to Denver for under $200!

➧ Have you lost faith in the

flight information on airport screens? Try FlightAware on your computer at home or on any mobile device. This site allows you to visually watch the flight pattern on a map while the plane is in the air. It is also a great way to occupy the kids while sitting in the airport!

➧ There are so many ways

to organize your trip details.

If you are a Google user, Google Trips will scan your gmail account and Google calendar to organize your trips automatically. My favorite is Tripit. The app has a nice browser version that I can

easily review while planning my trip. The companion app, PackPoint, helps you plan what to take on each trip. You can customize your packing list for different activities to ensure you aren’t running to the store while on vacation for that phone charger or tie you forgot.

➧ This summer my family will

be on the road every weekend for baseball. The challenge is to find gas stations with great gas prices and clean restrooms.

I have used GasBuddy for station info near me for years (it started in 2000), and it continues to evolve over time.

If you use GasBuddy, take a minute to rate the bathroom you just used. Those behind you will appreciate it!

These are just a few apps that will make your travel easier.

I also plan to try Touchnote (an app that lets you create and send postcards through the mail) and Family Car Games App—after all, the summer is about creating memories and relaxing. Have fun, and safe travels!

CHECK OUT: Keep the kids busy with a Fidget Spinner while in the car.

TRY OUT: Forgot the crayons?

Try a Coloring Book App.

Have your fortune and eat it, too.

At Acropolis, we take a more personal approach to wealth management.

We believe that a fair management fee, low-cost investments and full transparency are top priorities. It seems simple to us, although a lot of the investment management industry still hasn’t caught on.

PAIGE PICCIONE & JARED HAMPP

by julia m. johnson | photos by tensixteen photography PAIGE PICCIONE SAYS SHE ALMOST TURNED DOWN THE TRIP that caused her to meet husband

Jared Hampp. “Friends invited me to the Lake of the Ozarks after my high school graduation, but I wanted to stay in town,” she says. “They convinced me to go, and that’s where Jared and I first met.

We were both dating other people, but we became friends.” In 2012, when they were single, Jared’s family invited Paige on a trip to Jamaica. “That’s when we started dating—and where he proposed three years later,” she says.

Paige remembers being a little concerned when Jared didn’t want to talk about getting married— but it was only because he was already planning a surprise proposal! He popped the question during their next trip to Jamaica, in a romantic spot overlooking the beach. “It was a beautiful, starry night,” Paige recalls.

She chose Our Lady of Lourdes parish because it’s where her parents were married and her family has held baptisms. Her relatives own Piccione Pastry and Butler’s Pantry, the caterer for the Missouri History Museum. So the museum’s spacious Grand Hall seemed like a natural choice for the reception. “We had a wonderful sit-down dinner, and guests took home variety boxes of cannoli, cookies and cakes as wedding favors,” she says. “It was a point of pride for me that so many people raved about the food.”

The wedding party posed for photos at The Muny, with spring flowers just beginning to bloom.

“It was a beautiful, cool, sunny day—the only clear one in a week of thunderstorms,” Paige notes.

She surprised her auto-enthusiast husband with a special wedding ‘getaway car,’ a bright blue Lamborghini. “He’d seen the car in the neighborhood before the ceremony, and was really excited when he found out we’d be driving it the rest of the day!” she says.

The couple lives in the historic Dogtown neighborhood. Paige works for STLCRE, a property management firm, and Jared works for Frank Leta Honda.

COVER STORY

WHILE IT MIGHT BE COMMON TO READ ABOUT WOMEN PHYSICIANS being

underrepresented in the field of surgery, at SLUCare Physician Group, that is not the case.

The subject has received a good deal of attention following a recent cover story in The New Yorker picturing a circle of women surgeons in the operating room. Doctors around the world have been recreating the photo on social media to raise awareness about the contributions of female surgeons.

According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, only 271 of the nation’s 4,484 cardiothoracic surgeons are female. But SLUCare has two of them, notes Dr. Melanie Edwards, cardiothoracic surgeon at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital.

“That’s kind of amazing,” she notes. “As more women go into surgical subspecialties, hiring barriers are being broken. I think SLUCare is at the forefront of that.” Today, there are 10 female surgeons in its department of surgery, compared with only two a decade ago. And there are 23 more in the departments of ear/nose/throat, orthopedics, OB/GYN, ophthalmology and dermatology. So it’s clear that progress is being made.

Edwards says SLUCare’s team-focused environment is a main reason she finds it a great place to grow professionally. She sees a variety of surgical patients, including those with lung and esophageal cancers and other thoracic diseases, and is able to treat them with highly advanced approaches, including minimally invasive and robotic procedures.

“I’ve read recent reports suggesting that patient outcomes are often better in medical practices with women physicians,” she notes. “That’s not to say men aren’t just as good, but I think women have a natural ability to bond with patients and provide reassurance.

We’re also very collaborative and able to communicate well. It’s to our advantage, and the

patient’s, that we are natural consensus builders.”

Edwards says many people feel anxious about surgery, so calming their fears is key. She notes that women physicians have a talent for understanding the needs of the ‘whole patient,’ both physical and psychological. “In medicine, we’ve learned that no one is an island,” she explains. “If you listen well to fellow team members, that collaboration can bring up ideas others might not have considered.” Dr. Catherine Wittgen, a SLUCare vascular surgeon and the first woman at Harvard Medical School to be fellowship trained in that specialty, says personal touch is so important that she begins every operation at the patient’s bedside, holding his or her hand to provide comfort. She performs a range of vascular procedures, including aortic aneurysm repair, carotid artery surgery and stent placement.

Wittgen and Edwards agree that SLUCare offers a supportive work culture that emphasizes a surgeon’s skill and merit, not gender. “They hire doctors who are most qualified and the best fit, and I think that’s becoming more common around the country,” Wittgen says. “Ten or 20 years ago, you wouldn’t necessarily see that in a lot of physician groups.” She finds her male colleagues to be supportive of female surgeons, and they work as a team to heal each patient. “All of us bring our best to the table,” she says. “It’s a great way to operate.”

Wittgen notes that she and her female colleagues also provide an important example for future generations of women surgeons. “If a young girl reads about us and says, ‘I can do that,’ even if she didn’t think it was possible before, that’s a really good thing,” she says.

the favorites

Berkshire Pig, Hazelnut Financier, Missouri Rice, Beef, Bread

THIS PLACE HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE MAKING, with a lot of fanfare during the process, so

expectations were high. The chef, Michael Gallina, originally of Brentwood (co-owner with wife Tara), has an impressive résumé that includes key roles at a James Beard-awarded restaurant (Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, New York) and one ranked No. 5 in the world (Eleven Madison Park, NYC).

The Gallinas’ restaurant and menu illustrate that those accolades mean something: talent and skill in the culinary arts. A place like Vicia celebrates the bounty that comes from the earth, the way our planet sustains us, and a reverence for what that means. Dining here is going to be about how a dense vegetable reduction can massage the flavor and texture of buttery soft Berkshire pork. Or how sautéed trumpet mushrooms temper the tangy bitterness of winter cress.

The wait staff will tell you the restaurant is ‘vegetable forward.’ Veggies are featured prominently in nearly every dish. On a first visit, the ‘entrees’ were complete plates of food. My Berkshire Pig ($24) had been slow-roasted to yield meat so tender, I simply cut it with a fork. A creamy spinach preparation was on the plate along with a wine-red vegetable reduction that extracted intense sweet and salty elements. Tangy turnip flowers, the green tops, were also part of the composition, adding texture, taste and visual appeal. It was indeed an elevated culinary experience.

Gallina has subsequently changed the format, focusing even more on vegetables and grains. Now all dishes are for sharing, so a table of two might choose three to share. That, plus a starter, would be enough food. Especially if you order the bread ($5). House-made, it contains Turkey Red wheat, a heritage grain that yields a spongy texture—hearty, moist and satisfying.

Our starter was the The Purple Top Turnip Tacos ($12), which are finely sliced rounds of turnips as the taco ‘skins’ filled with a mash of black beans, ‘nectarine hot sauce’ (a tangy, citrusy element) and crunchy bacon. We also sampled the Goose Egg ($6), creatively nestled among straw in a basket.

Inside the egg shell is a scramble of white asparagus, bits of shiitake mushroom, cheddar and of course, the egg, which appeared to be a mix of poached and scrambled.

The Beef ($14 for a bowlful) was very tasty, arriving as a shredded stew of slow-cooked flavors, most notably salt and vinegar. It paired well with the Missouri Rice ($12), which had a lovely nutty texture and came dotted with ramps, bits of asparagus (it’s asparagus season) and onion flowers (yes, the tops of onion plants).

The Grilled Asparagus ($14) was prepared on the restaurant patio, where chefs work on made-toorder items over a wood-burning fire. Grilled alongside them were scallion-like ‘young shallots,’ and both greens sat near a small pool of fresh goat cheese and a puree of lovage (an herb). The idea is to present the vegetables in a starring role, but $14 for asparagus spears seems high, even for a shared dish.

Our dessert, by pastry chef Summer Wright, was its own culinary journey, a combination of sweet, salty and savory. A buttery financier cakelet ($12) sat in a pool of salty caramel sauce with a slight onion flavor. A small scoop of ‘parsnip ice cream’ nearby was topped with a few sweet potato shavings.

These were dried, salty and sweet, and very crunchy. It worked exceedingly well.

St. Louis has countless neighbors, bookstore customers, friends, retirement community residents and more who form book clubs simply for their love of reading.

i love you both »

This film stars and is written by St. Louis natives and siblings Doug (also the director) and Kristin Archibald, so I was excited to check out the pair’s work—more for the local connection than anything else. The story seemed intriguing as well: twins Donny and Krystal (played by the brother/sister duo respectively) fall in love with the same man, Andy (Lucas Neff), and struggle with the reality of the situation. The two basically act like a married couple and share a converted one-bedroom house, but their relationship doesn’t come across as strange (unlike the siblings who live together in Bridesmaids!). Instead, it is very endearing; while their lives are anything but perfect and put-together, they can completely rely on each other—and they do. A therapist would have a heyday with their co-dependency issues. Kristin Archibald was especially impressive and funny, embracing the role of quirky, matter-of-fact Krystal who has a dreadful job that comes with a strange work ‘friend.’ There wasn’t much to Doug’s character. Overall, the film lacked substance. Its main storyline was more like a sidebar, which left you wondering what was actually going on. At the least, it was a sweet look into the life of young adults trying to figure out life, love and independence.

Kudos are definitely deserved for the siblings’ screen debut.

SHOULD YOU SEE IT? It’s a great way to support St. Louis natives! —K.W. OPENS JUNE 9 AT LANDMARK TIVOLI THEATRE

This week, T&S features a suggestion from the book club at Friendship Village Sunset Hills, which meets once a month. It began more than five years ago with a small group of residents, but now about 20 participate to discuss titles from a list supplied by the St. Louis County Library.

The members recommend THE AVIATOR’S WIFE

by Melanie Benjamin. In their words: “We appreciated the fact-based book because it fits into our preferred genre of historical fiction. It explores the life of the first woman to obtain a glider pilot’s license, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who was also a noted author and the wife of Charles Lindbergh. It concentrates on their life together, and how she stayed in the background taking care of the children while he pursued his interests. It explores their marriage and shows that there was more to Lindbergh than flying.”

It’s amazing how wonderful a new coat of paint looks—and feels—on your hands and feet.

Plus, it’s one of the fastest ways to pamper yourself. For fingers, I recommend light and transparent colors; they don’t show the wear nearly as much and look fresh much longer.

I can’t think of a better return on your investment than a long-burning candle. It provides hours of pleasurable aromatherapy, not to mention a soft, calming ambience. The summery scent of Spanish Lime is offered in K. Hall’s pretty glass container, 75 hours worth!

ACT YOUR AGE

BY RICK STOFF

The aging process is not our friend. It decreases our body’s ability to perform well with aching backs, stiff necks and painful hip joints. And it increases attributes we’d rather not have, like wrinkles and sagging skin. But we live in a day and age when technology—and a good set of physical therapy exercises—can at least make us feel younger.

STRONGER BACK & HIPS A lifetime of big boom-booms and little ouchies exerts a toll on the core neck, back and hip joints that support everything else in our body. But with a little determination, we can do some exercises at home to condition those important parts for a longer, healthier and more pain-free post-middle age.

SKELETAL WEAR & TEAR

“Stiffness and pain can come over time,” says Dawn Kennedy, who has a doctorate in physical therapy and is manager of SSM Health Physical Therapy in Hazelwood. In individuals younger than 40, there is a higher incidence of herniated disks. And a strenuous, high-labor job can aggravate things. Older patients can get osteophytes—bone laying down more bone to protect itself, which can be called arthritis or degenerative joint disease or stenosis.”

The core joints and muscles carry heavy burdens that can become creaky, even in the absence of injuries. “Stiffness, tension and tightness in the neck, hip and back are extremely common, especially for people who have desk jobs or sit all day,” says Courtney Tucker, a personal trainer and group exercise manager at The J in Creve Coeur. “Your muscles aren’t getting enough movement. Strengthening and stretching exercises are going to be a huge benefit.”

USE IT OR LOSE IT

The prevention or remedy for core stiffness might be as simple as moving. “Just doing 10 reps of a couple of exercises every day can make a big difference,” Tucker says. Kennedy agrees: “The stronger your muscles are, the more you can off-load any joint. Decreasing that load decreases pain and stiffness.”

Their favorite home exercises for the back include a couple of seated motions.

While at the front edge of a chair, Kennedy advises to “tighten your abdominal muscles like you are trying to pull your ribs down to your hips and do a marching motion with your legs. If you are at a higher skill level, you can do that standing on a solid surface.”

For a good back stretch, start in a seated position and slide both hands down the outside of each leg, reaching toward the ankle. “Do 10 to 15 on each side,” she notes.

Tucker recommends the ‘cat-cow’ pose. “While you are on your hands and knees, round your back up like a cat and lower it like a cow,” she explains. “That really elongates the back.” The ‘bridges’ stretch, which is done lying on the back with knees bent, strengthens the back and abdomen, Tucker says. “ Lift your hips off the floor and hold your abdominals tight.”

HIPS & NECK

“When we walk, we use the same muscles to make our legs go back and forth, but when we are younger, we do a lot more side-to-side movement and rotation,” Kennedy says. Her hip solutions: “Do side-steps and clamshells—lie on your side with your knees bent at about 90 degrees. Keep feet together while lifting the upper knee toward the ceiling, like a clamshell opening with hinges at your hips and feet.

Do both sides and do enough to start feeling tired, about 10 to 30 reps.”

As for the neck, it mostly needs stretching, Tucker says. “Place your hands behind your head and gently push your chin down to your chest.” Tilting the head from side to side also helps with flexion. “One good neck exercise is just turning your head and looking over your shoulders, going slowly from side to side,” Kennedy suggests.

“Another is a chin tuck—stick your neck back until you give yourself a double chin.

That works the smaller muscles.”

The shoulders often are overlooked, Tucker adds. “Relaxing the shoulders and pulling those muscles down can release some of the tension in the neck.”

BOTOX & FILLERS One of the most misunderstood concepts in facial procedures is the difference between Botox and fillers. A brand of neuromodulator toxin with a variety of medical uses, the term Botox is often used to reference any injectable facial treatment.

But that is inaccurate.

BOTOX: IT’S NOT A FILLER

“I hear it at least once a month. People think Botox is a filler for lips and other things,” says Dr. Richard Moore, a cosmetic surgeon and medical director of The Lifestyle Center in Ladue. “They have misconceptions about what is going to work and where.”

The term ‘Botox’ is often used generically, agrees Carol Anderson, BCRN, BSN, CANS, certified aesthetic nurse specialist and owner of Nouveau MedSpa in Kirkwood.

“Botox keeps muscles from making creases. Fillers volumize space,” she explains. So you might use a filler to plump lips, for example, and Botox, a muscle inhibitor, to control wrinkling.

WRINKLES, BE GONE!

Wrinkles and lines are nature’s way of stamping age on the face. “We have two kinds of wrinkles,” Moore explains.

“Dynamic wrinkles appear when you move a muscle. These

can become static wrinkles—those that are present at rest. The ‘11s’ between the eyes, for example, can turn into static wrinkles.

Neuromodulators (like Botox) will soften those and help prevent them from getting deeper, but won’t necessarily take them away.”

Fillers like collagen also can be used to treat static wrinkles, as with nasolabial folds (between the corners of the nose and mouth) and marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth to the chin).

“These are the folds and lines people typically want filled,” Anderson says. “Often we have bone loss in the face as we age, and the deep fat pads go away, causing some laxity and folding in the face.”

Replacing lost bone and fat with fillers may reduce lines resulting from laxity. Moore adds, “We can use dermal fillers to do three things: fill the static wrinkles; restore volume in the lips or cheeks; and lift the cheeks and corners of the mouth.”

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Botulinum toxin was approved for cosmetic use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2002 and is marketed under three brand names: Botox, Dysport and Xeomin. “They are each minutely different,” Anderson says.

Fillers, which come in varying formulations, were first approved by the FDA in 1981. Among the popular brand names are Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, Sculptra and Bellafill. “In

our office, we have 10 fillers,” Moore says. “Some products are specialized for lifting and will volumize better. Wrinkle lines take a different type of filler that is designed to be placed just beneath the surface.”

The neuromodulators normally last about three months, Anderson says. “When I inject one into a muscle that creates a frown and the brain tells your face to frown, the muscle doesn’t recognize the message. We are not ‘paralyzing the muscle’ (as is commonly thought), the message just doesn’t get through.” Over time, the nerve generates new pods of that transmitter, so most people will need treatment three or four times a year.

The benefits of most fillers will linger three to 12 months, Moore says. “A physically active person will go through fillers faster than an older person, and the location (of the injection) will make a difference,” he adds. “We move our mouths a lot, so fillers in the lips are going to last a shorter period of time.” A deeper filler like Bellafill may stay on duty for two years or longer, Moore says.

To add to public confusion over fillers and neuromodulators, they are often used together.

“When we use them in combination, we call it the liquid face-lift,” Moore says. “An injector has to have a good, three-dimensional eye and know where to put things.”

FACIAL PEELS Said to give you fresher, younger skin, the facial peel was once a beauty secret of Hollywood stars in the silent film era.

A weak acid solution that slightly burns one or more outer layer of facial skin carries off lines, splotches, rashes and other damage, leaving a new, better surface.

SKIN QUALITY: A MATTER OF DNA?

The natural course of skin aging is predetermined by heredity, says Dr. Gregory H. Branham, chief of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at Washington University Facial Plastic Surgery Center in Creve Coeur.

The next determinant of skin quality is the naughtiest word in dermatology: sunlight.

“Over time, ultraviolet light from the sun penetrates deeper into your skin. If it gets down to the dermal layer, it disrupts the collagen and elastin, two proteins that cause the skin to be plump and stretchy, not tough and leathery,” he explains. “As the sun damages the skin, you can get wrinkles, scaly patches and pigment spots. You can even get pre-malignancies and malignancies from DNA damage.”

An individual’s skin clock also may tick years more quickly due to hormonal losses accompanying menopause and another skin plague, smoking. “The need to reverse some of those changes brings us to talking about peels,” Branham says.

NEW SKIN, FRESH SLATE

A peel is a form of skin resurfacing, and there are a number of ways to do it, Branham notes.

“You can use a laser, which vaporizes or burns off the skin, or you can apply an acid substance.”

Acid causes a chemical burn of varying depths, depending on the strength. “A superficial peel strips off the dead skin-cell layer,” he says.

“Those are the peels that would be done in a spa or by an aesthetician. That gives you fresher skin and allows moisturizer to penetrate deeper.

It gives you a little bit of plumping and helps the texture, but it doesn’t provide long-term changes to the wrinkles.”

When additional issues remain, your clinician will call in a stronger acid. “For what I call a therapeutic peel, we go into the dermis and the living layers of skin. A medium-depth peel

will bring long-term change to wrinkles and improvement to pigment, texture and fine lines,” Branham says. “There are still deeper peels, but if we go that deep, we probably want to use a laser.”

The procedure will be followed by a week or two of downtime. “Recovery is dependent on how deep we go,” he notes. “With a mediumdepth peel, it’s about a week. Your face will be red and you will need to use a healing ointment because your skin is vulnerable.”

A NEW YOU

The result will be a significantly younger face, Branham says. “You have reversed the clock; how much depends on how severe the damage was and how you take care of your skin,” he says.

“Deep lines and wrinkles are not going to be completely erased, but you generally get quite a bit of improvement with fine lines and wrinkles.

If you have tough and leathery skin, you probably are not going to make as much headway because the collagen and elastin have been damaged so much that the skin may not recover as well.”

grow your own tea garden I just love a soothing cup of herbal tea, particularly when I’ve grown some of the herbs myself, which is so easy to do! Whether you grow them in containers or raised beds, there are many aromatic and flavorful varieties from which to choose. Just situate your tea garden close to the kitchen so you can harvest your herbs while the water boils.

FROMTHE GARDEN

Tea Time

‘pot marigolds,’ these grow well in containers. They are annuals, easily grown from seed. To ensure a long flowering season, pick the flowers every few days.

Hibiscus» These flowers

lend a tart flavor and beautiful color to teas. Use flowers that are fully open. Remove the stamen and rinse the petals before using the flower. Hibiscus requires plenty of direct sunlight and prefers rich, fertile, loamy soil that is well-drained and moist.

Calendula» Referred to as

To brew herb tea, you can use dried or fresh herbs. Dried will last longer and are a little more potent, while fresh herbs generally taste more vibrant. For dry herbs, bundle your harvest by the stems with twine and hang the bunches upside down to dry, out of direct sunlight.

The amount you should use depends on how strong you want your tea. If using crushed, dried herbs, start with 1 teaspoon per cup of hot water.

If you’re using fresh herbs, triple that amount.

The real key to brewing the perfect cup of tea is water temperature and infusion time. The darker the leaf of the herb, the hotter the water needs to be. Start with your water around 200 degrees and steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Just experiment until you find what suits your palate.

Lemongrass» Just tear off

a leaf and bruise it to release a wonderful lemony flavor—it’s so refreshing. Lemongrass thrives in full sun, even in the hot South.

It also needs rich, well-drained soil.

Lavender» This is perfect

for a calming, aromatic tea, and the fragrance always reminds me of the English countryside.

In my humid, mid-South garden, I’ve had the most success with a lavandin called ‘Provence.’

Lavenders thrive in growing conditions similar to their native

habitat along the Mediterranean coast. They prefer moist, cool winters and hot, dry summers.

Well-drained soil and a full day’s sun are also essential for robust plants and plentiful blooms. In the humid South, try Spanish or French lavender.

Mint»

For a refreshing and uplifting flavor, go with peppermint or spearmint. Or try a mint with a twist, like chocolate or sweet mint. Mint can spread like wildfire, so one way to keep it from taking over is to plant in a container and then

put the container in your garden bed. This will keep the roots contained. A plus with mint: it helps soothe an upset stomach.

the kiss of death. The roots are shallow, so apply a layer of mulch or compost on top of the soil to keep them from drying out.

Stevia» There is a good reason

Lemon Thyme or Lemon Verbena» These brighten and

stevia is commonly known as sweetleaf. Its dried leaves are 10 to 15 times sweeter than sugar!

Just dry and crush the leaves before using as a sweetener.

It’s best to plant stevia in late spring or early summer when all danger of frost has passed.

The plant is finicky about soil drainage; excess moisture, especially right after planting, is

complement many other flavors.

Lemon thyme also can double as a groundcover—make sure it has well-drained soil.

HOMEWORK]

DEAR HOMEWORK,

Hope you’re up for a challenge! We would like to upgrade this four-family building, but haven’t a clue where to start. There seems so little to work with. We are open to any suggestions apart from outright demolition. Looking forward to your ideas.

Sincerely, —OUT OF IDEAS

DEAR OUT OF IDEAS,

This one is indeed a challenge. I am going to suggest a dozen fairly simple things you could do that would totally transform this seemingly unpromising property. You probably don’t need to do all of them, but to have a significant impact, you’d have to do many of them.

To begin with, you could paint the brick. In this case, I would not paint the brick strips that I have left red to give the façade a sense of detail it currently lacks. The next most impactful change would be to add striped canvas awnings to the lower level windows. Note that I have made those windows French doors with Juliet iron balconies. These doors, like many other elements on the façade, have been painted a dark brown to give a bit of elegant contrast to the composition.

I also show a new, wide, stone door surround at the entry, which includes changes to the window above. New iron lanterns and urns brimming with color now create an entry feature large enough for the size of the façade. You also will observe that I’ve introduced an ‘x’ motif on the entry door, iron balconies, and attic vent. They work with the other changes to impart a mild Art Deco feel to the property.

Landscape changes reinforce the symmetry of the scheme and block views to the neighboring homes. Round stone orbs at the roof parapet complete the changes.

Hopefully you can use some of these ideas.

Thanks for asking, —HOMEWORK

[DESIGN on my mind by alan e. brainerd

inside look: conservatories I recently have been working on a project to add a conservatory to a client’s home, and I thought it would be interesting to share the back story on this type of architecture.

Conservatories have a long past. Going back to the 13th century, Italian greenhouses were the ‘seed,’ so to speak, that began this architectural development. In Italy, early prototypes were known as limonaia, used primarily for the propagation and preservation of lemon trees.

During the 15th century in the Korean Peninsula, a version of the glass greenhouse was developed for growing mandarins. But it was really during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, when wealthy Europeans began to travel more and collect ‘exotic specimens,’ that the real need arose, especially in England. Keep in mind that during this time, glass was very expensive, so having a conservatory was a sign of wealth.

Wanting to be original, the English coined the term ‘orangeries’ for their structures. Theirs had the multipurpose of housing tropical fruits such as lemons, oranges and mandarins, as well as providing a charming social spot for afternoon tea.

By English definition, the conservatory structure requires 50 percent of its sidewall area and 75 percent of its roof to be glazed. These areas must be translucent polycarbonate sheeting or glass.

Stateside in 1880, President Rutherford B. Hayes added a large Victorian-style cast iron conservatory to the west terrace of the White House that could be accessed by way of the dining room. In an ambitious remodel in 1902, President Teddy Roosevelt demolished the structure to make way for what is now known as the West Wing.

World War I and II put limits on certain materials, glass and iron being two of them, which greatly hindered construction of conservatories. Starting in the 1970s on, advances in construction created a new interest in this type of home addition. Still elegant and useful, the conservatory craze continues to grow.

DESIGN REDUX Your outdoor seating choices should be valued just as much as your interior pieces. It is important to consider comfort, style, color, fabric and trim when designing your upholstery and soft treatments for patios and porches.

Textiles have come a long way since the first piece of cloth was woven thousands of years ago, and so have trims!

I can remember a time when outdoor fabric and trim options were limited and quite pedestrian. The only way to dress up a cushion was to use contrast welt. But that’s no longer the case.

In the not too distant past, various manufacturers heard the outcry from the design trade that trims are of equal importance to create a sophisticated outdoor space.

As a result, trim of all types is now available: brush, cord, tape and loop to name a few—all weather-friendly.

Consider using these finishing touches when planning your outdoor design scheme. Every curtain will look better with a trim on the face. Every toss pillow will plump prettier with a brush fringe around its frame. Every chair cushion will add definition with a rope cord used for trim. Think outside the box, and add one more layer to make an outdoor space your own.

TRADE SECRETS: DESIGNING A CONTAINER GARDEN Warm weather is synonymous with gardening. What do you do when spring begins and you can once again use the patio to add color and beauty? Why, container gardening, of course! It is a necessary accessory for your garden, just like a great pair of sandals is for your favorite summer dress. Whether you live in a huge manse, a cottage or a high rise, you can and should have a beautiful garden in containers.

Since I live in a high rise in both St. Louis and Palm Beach, container gardening is all I can do. So I enjoy putting my expertise to work for clients who want me to create a container garden in their much larger exterior spaces, with textures and colors that match their interior fabrics and finishes.

In my humble but honest opinion, no pool, patio, front entrance or garage door should be without colorful, potted vegetation. Just as we layer the inside of a home to create interest, we should do the same outside.

A few simple tips: ➤ When grouping pots, make sure you group in odd numbers. ➤ Vary the height of your pots in groupings, as well as the height of the plants. ➤ Use pots to define spaces, like the corners of a pool. ➤ Monochromatic use of color can be just as effective as an array of color. ➤ Create an herb garden with pots outside your kitchen door for easy access. ➤ Paint your pots fun colors and patterns, and add personal touches like your monogram. ➤ Change your summer flowers to fall species to enjoy your pots longer. ➤ Have fun, and be creative!

C A S T L E D E S I G N JENNA FISCHER WITH JENNY RAUSCH

DESIGN BY EMILY CASTLE

by alexa beattie

There are parts of Emily Elmore’s South City house that remain unchanged—the basement, for instance, where her grandfather set out a train each Christmas and poured drinks for guests from his wood-paneled bar. Those panels have never been painted, and the 1970s barstools are the very same ones Elmore sat on as a child, swinging her legs, soaking up the warm feeling of ‘home.’

But upstairs, it’s a new day: Elmore’s 1950s ranch recently was the subject of My Houzz, a video series presented by Houzz Inc. that follows celebrities as they renovate the home of someone meaningful to them. Elmore’s sister, Jenna Fischer (who played Pam on the popular NBC comedy The Office) worked with St. Louis company Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath to transform parts of the house over eight weeks last fall, bringing it squarely (and beautifully) into the 21st century.

“Four generations of Fischers have lived in this house, so this renovation was incredibly special to all of us,” Fischer says. “Houzz helped me create my sister Emily’s dream home, one that is perfect for her and her family.”

Elmore and her husband first took over the house when her grandmother moved into a retirement community. “The house was her last connection to my grandfather, and she didn’t want to sell it,” Elmore explains. After her grandmother died in 2008, Elmore used her inheritance to purchase the home.

“It was a very emotional project,” says Karr Bick president Jenny Rausch. “There is such attachment to the house, and we needed to be sensitive to that.” Indeed, not only have four generations lived here, but the Fischer sisters’ grandfather—an engineer—built the home himself, tweaking the builder’s original blueprint and putting his own stamp on the floor plan. The layout, Elmore explains, was no longer conducive to today’s lifestyles. While it was important for the 1950s household to keep a messy kitchen behind closed doors, the less formal families of today prefer an open plan. “My question always was, ‘Do I burn the dinner or make sure my children are still alive?’” jokes Elmore, who teaches third grade.

Rausch—also a mom—recognized Elmore’s needs right away.

“As working parents with two small kids, they needed organization and an easier way to function in a tight space,” she says. “We wanted to open everything up, break down those 1950s barriers.” She also had to consider Elmore’s husband and children. “I knew it needed to be durable and not too feminine,” she says.

Meanwhile, Elmore and her family moved in with her parents during the renovation, and had no inkling about the extent of the changes her sister and Houzz Inc. had planned. “Jenna and I would giggle,” Rausch says. “Emily would call and talk about where to put the old blinds, but meanwhile, there was a dumpster in the front yard and all the doors and windows were gone!” Removing interior walls between the kitchen, dining and living areas has enabled the family to come together and interact even when dinner is being prepared.

All new appliances make for easier living, as does built-in cabinetry.

While Elmore says she couldn’t conceive of altering the basement— tampering with all those happy memories—she is completely delighted with the first floor. “I love it all,” she beams.
