EDITORIAL

KARYN WILLIAMS ALEXA BEATTIE JULIA M. JOHNSON

from the editor's desk What could elderly folks possibly have in common with the cats and dogs that fill our animal shelters? More than you think, especially when it comes to giving and receiving unconditional love. That is what I learned from a story coming up in next week’s issue about the APA’s (Animal Protective Association of Missouri) visiting pet programs.

The animal shelter realized a long time ago that bringing pets to visit seniors in group residences could be a big win-win for all involved. They’ve been doing it for decades with volunteers who would sign up to take their own pets for senior visits. Now a new program, FosterCare, gives elderly residents the chance to raise newborn cats and dogs until they’re ready for adoption. The pets love the attention, and for the humans, the list of benefits is compelling.

It’s no secret that older people can be lonely. No matter how often family members visit, it isn’t enough—how can it be when they were used to being mobile and active and sharing their daily lives with a spouse and others before infirmity forced them into a more solitary life? Now, raising pets adds meaning, purpose and structure to their lives, not to mention an endless supply of love.

Even for dementia patients, cuddling with a sweet little ball of fur can bring a flood of positive emotions, and sometimes take them back to memories of their own onetime pet ownership.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every place that houses the aged could have this new APA program for residents? What a simple way to bring joy to those most starved for it. I’ll never forget something an advocate for seniors said in our paper not too long ago: Out of the 22,000 residents in senior centers across the metro area, half have not been visited for more than five years.

‘A NIGHT FOR LIFE’ GALA CO-CHAIRS MARY ANN MUETH AND JOAN ARBUSZEWSKI

by julia m. johnson

EVERY YEAR, ABOUT 2,500 WOMEN KNOCK ON BIRTHRIGHT COUNSELING ST. LOUIS’ door in

need of help with unplanned pregnancies. And each time, they’re met with caring support for the journey ahead, says executive director Maureen Zink.

Zink says the agency takes a compassionate, nonpolitical approach to helping expectant mothers—one that doesn’t involve graphic pictures or high-pressure tactics. “We provide a warm, comfortable environment where women know they’ll be supported and cared for,” she explains.

“Many have considered abortion because the cycle of life can be so dire with poverty, addiction and domestic violence. But we never look down on women or judge them; we want them to know there’s help available to them and their babies.”

Birthright has locations in Brentwood, midtown St. Louis, Bridgeton and Lemay, and its services are open to any woman facing an untimely or unexpected pregnancy. It offers counseling, financial help and alternatives to abortion, including connecting women with adoption services if they so choose. “We have professional counselors who are licensed clinical social workers, and we can help moms with rent, medical bills, tuition, anything they need to move ahead in their lives,” Zink says. “It’s about having healthy babies, but it’s also about helping women feel strong in their life decisions.” Each mother can continue receiving Birthright services for up to a year after her baby’s arrival, and Zink says many women have shared how crucial that ongoing help is.

The nonprofit agency is supported entirely by its fundraising activities and donations. So each year, its Friends of Birthright group throws a big party to raise funds and thank supporters. The 2017 ‘A Night for Life’ gala is set for Sept. 23 at The Ritz-Carlton in Clayton, and Zink says she’s hoping to see 500 to 600 guests come through the door. “It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year, black-tie optional,” she notes. “The event includes a wonderful dinner, dancing and live music by Trilogy. It’s always a beautiful evening—a real celebration of our donors, our moms and our babies.”

Individual tickets are $175, and event sponsorships are available. This year’s gala co-chairs are Mary Ann Mueth and Joan Arbuszewski.

During the event, The Most Rev. Robert J. Hermann, St. Louis Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus, will receive Birthright’s 2017 Monsignor James R. Hartnett Award. “It’s given to a leader who has shown real commitment in supporting our organization,” Zink says. “He has done that through his work as a priest and bishop, letting women and the community know about the important services we provide.”

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

Are you ready for ‘Let Them Eat Art,’ Maplewood’s nutty tribute to Bastille Day (July 14)? It happens the second weekend of the month and has been going on for 11 years already. You’re not? Well, nobody ever is really ready for this event. It’s like when they used to announce on Monty Python’s Flying Circus: “And now, for something completely different … ” Because it is. It’s not an art show—it’s a celebration of making and enjoying art and music in the shops and on the streets of one of the most wonderful places in the country. So step aside, Maplewood Township, New Jersey; Maplewood, Minnesota; Maplewood, Indiana; and all those other U.S. spots named Maplewood. Just west of the StL city line, along Manchester (a stretch of the old Route 66), this cornucopia of fun, from 6 to 11 p.m., spotlights anything and everything creative except, perhaps, a sword swallower. Enjoy live art demonstrations by regional artists, music, and food and drink by the ’Wood’s awardwinning food purveyors. Be a part of the whimsical parade, which is for the sole purpose of kicking off the event with smiles and giggles … therefore, expect no award for ‘Most Complicated, Elaborate and Expensive Float.’ And, let there be tunes! The mainstage—the parking lot at Saratoga Lanes, 2731 Sutton Ave.—will feature the Gene Dobbs Bradford Blues Experience and Jeremiah Johnson Band, known for the rock ’n’ blues tune, ‘Call a Taxi’ (as heard on KDHX). There’ll be live music elsewhere around town, specifically Elliott Ranney, Saint Boogie Brass Band and Kecia Davis.

MAPLEWOOD

While we’ve been waiting a few years for a trolley to get rolling in U. City, some have hit the bricks in St. Charles.

Again. The vintage-looking vehicles, which roll on tires, not tracks, have been pressed back into service after being idle for about seven years.

Back then, they were hungry for riders, but today, more tourists and convention-goers venture to the state’s first capital than ever before.

Sponsored by the St. Charles CVB, rides are free of charge and make a loop every 28 to 40 minutes from two stops along the bricks of old Main Street, going to (but not necessarily in this order) the Mark Twain shopping center (home to Bass Pro Shops), Ameristar Casino Resort, the growing Streets of St. Charles entertainment and dining complex, and the city’s convention center. There are two vehicles in operation: the ‘Lewis’ trolley and the ‘Clark’ trolley.

Lewis was temporarily out of service a few weeks ago because he had a frog in his throat. (So to speak. The PA system was being repaired.) Monday through Saturday, the trolleys run from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; on Sunday, quitting time is 7:30 p.m. Last call for ‘all aboard!’ will be Dec. 31, and it will start rolling again March 15 next year. The two drivers have fun with riders by providing details about key destinations along the way, perhaps even answering a few questions, such as: What was the first capital of Missouri?

Mark your calendar for Sunday (July 16), official kickoff of the 17th annual Whitaker St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase, a presentation by the nonprofit Cinema St. Louis, the metro’s primary venue for films made by local artists. The showcase screens works that were written, directed, edited or produced

by St. Louis residents, or films with strong local ties.

The 15-film programs that screen at the Tivoli in the U. City Loop through July 20 serve as the showcase’s centerpiece. The programs range from full-length fiction features and documentaries to compilations of fiction and documentary shorts. Many programs include postscreening Q&As with the filmmakers. There are 87 films in this year’s event. To whet appetites, here’s just a teaser of one documentary and one feature: • Atomic Homefront: Oscar-nominated documentarian Rebecca Cammisa presents a sobering look at nuclear

ST. CHARLES

waste contamination in North County, focusing on West Lake, a toxic Bridgeton landfill. The film reveals the metro’s past as a uranium-processing center for the A-bomb and the governmental and corporate negligence that led to the illegal dumping of Manhattan Project radioactive waste into West Lake, a onetime quarry. An underground ‘fire’ has smoldered there for years, scarcely 1,000 feet from the radioactive waste. The film follows citizen advocates as they fight to keep their families safe by confronting state and federal agencies in pursuit of the truth about the contamination’s extent. (They were to have met with Scott Pruitt, our EPA director not too keen on protecting the environment, after the film debuted in D.C. last month.) West Lake has received the most publicity, but additional radioactive waste was secretly dumped at other sites north of the StL. • Palacios: Bobby Herrera, a vet of the showcase and St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF), presents his first feature. Eugene, a black inner-city teen, escapes the streets and hides away on a Midwest city rooftop on the Fourth of July. He is discovered by Holly, a widowed alcoholic who lives in the secluded rooftop dwelling with her Boston terrier. They commit to spending the day together as they wait for a hopeful resolution to Eugene’s plight. As the day passes, a friendship grows even as their personal realities begin to catch up with them.

The showcase also will host a free closing-night awards party on Thursday, July 20, at Blueberry Hill’s Duck Room for film buffs 21 and older. Cinema St. Louis will announce the showcase films chosen for inclusion in SLIFF (which returns Nov. 2 through 17), and juried awards for the best showcase films will be given.

Complimentary beer is supplied by Kräftig; cash bar for all other drinks.

TOWN TALK

Strauss Park, a triangular oasis in the Grand Center Arts District that got a $200,000 makeover last year, is hosting a dizzying variety of events and activities, from music to improv to yoga, for the remainder of this month through Aug. 30, six days a week. Mondays, you’ll just have to find something else exciting and fun to do for

the rest of the summer ... hold that thought! (Chess in the Park, presented by the World Chess Hall of Fame, will be presented every Monday at 3 p.m. Sorry, we just weren’t thinking three moves ahead.) Named the Strauss Park Alive Festival, the schedule includes almost any form of entertainment you can imagine, from aerialists to sand sculptures and a mandala … an intricate design, often of colorful sand, that its makers (typically Buddhist monks) painstakingly create, then destroy soon after it is finished.

This mandala will be created using ST. LOUIS chalk. But, speaking of sand: Dan Belcher, sculptor renowned in the metro for the immense, whimsical sand castles he’s created at The Magic House in Kirkwood, will create two pieces over the next two months. What else is planned for Strauss Alive? Sorry, there will not be waterskiing. But there will be food trucks on Tuesdays and happy hours on Wednesdays, with Hiro Asian Kitchen offering ramen and other fusion foods.

Grace, who’s in her mid 20s and has Down Syndrome, decorates the bus stop near her home for every holiday. The handmade bench is for her safety while waiting for the bus (No. 56) to take her to work. On occasion, her dad gets into the spirit, too, by dressing up. On March 17, he was St. Patrick, crook and all, while Grace wore a leprechaun’s orange beard. And he’s been known to show up all fuzzy pink as the Easter Bunny.

Dad is a very busy man—some would say important—as a federal prosecutor. But it appears that being a father is a more important role for him. Grace is fortunate, some would say blessed, to have this mensch as a dad. If you haven’t seen this whimsical landmark, it’s well worth a look. Who knows? You may yet be able to admire Grace’s display for Independence Day, which has been up most every year over the July 4th holiday. Grace’s Glendale Bus Stop (GGBS) is on Lockwood Avenue at Austin Place (west of Berry), on the north edge of Westborough Country Club. Now, if this is too far west of the Inner Belt for some of you, at least visit her Facebook page, which has been up since 2011. You can even watch her play a conga drum and sing in support of Journalism, the name of her brother Brendan’s band in New York. Drop by and give her a ‘like!’

Maintaining the status quo during divorce Stange Law Firm, PC

With the advent of no fault divorce, many think that fault no longer matters.

As it relates to divorce, the viewpoint is that an affair does not matter at all.

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

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

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

cruelty, violence or some other fault of some kind to get divorced.

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

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

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

could still be looked at for custody and parenting time determination.

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

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

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

THE[IN]SIDER

THERE SEEM TO BE NEW FITNESS STUDIOS

popping up everywhere in St. Louis, and it is my personal goal to try each and every one of them because I love to work out. That is a big, fat lie. I hate to work out—not just a little bit, but a whole lot. At the beginning of each week, I schedule my workouts. Once they are on my calendar, I begin to think of valid excuses to cancel. The excuse list keeps getting smaller, and now I have to take being 8 ½ months pregnant off.

You see, I recently took a class at CycleBar in Chesterfield and the instructor, Kira, was just about ready to give birth. She still managed to turn me into a puddle of sweat and nearly brought me to tears.

Makes you want to run out and try it doesn’t it? Let me give you an honest account of my experience, with just a little side of snark.

Two Davids—Busker and Batschelett—recently brought the CycleBar franchise to Chesterfield.

(When you say the name really fast, it sounds like Psycho Bar.) Both left careers, one as an engineer, the other as an accountant, to make a mid-life change.

The locals saw an opportunity to bring indoor cycling to St. Louis. I convinced my friend Debra to join me one afternoon for a class. (I think it’s always good to have a companion along just in case something goes wrong and your next of kin needs to be notified.)

That said, the studio is bright and beautiful and not at all scary. The front desk staff is happy to see you and set you up with a pair of shoes. Next thing you know, you’re clipped into your assigned bike, the music is playing, the lights are dimmed and you start pedaling.

My experience with cycling consists of going to the Katy Trail and riding on flat terrain ... slowly.

CycleBar is the opposite. The instructor tells you how to set your bike, and off you go. Well, you don’t really ‘go’ anyplace since the bike is stationary, but for the next 50 minutes, Kira cued us as to how fast and at what resistance to ride. Debra, who is in far better shape than me, was having no problem keeping up.

I, however, was just trying to make sure my oatmeal didn’t reappear on the rider in front of me. And then I realized not a single person was looking at what I was doing. I could totally set the pace of my ride. If I wanted to push myself or not push myself, no one was going to know in that darkened room. Finally I started to enjoy the ride.

Almost an hour later, after I had completed my ride, sang along to some great music and torched some calories, I stumbled out to be greeted by a counter of free smoothies. Yes, I happened to pick ‘free smoothie day’ to try my first ride—I am never that lucky! The next day my legs hurt, but I could still move. So, would I go back? Yes, not only to find out if Kira had a boy or a girl, but because even though I hate exercising, CycleBar isn’t distasteful enough to have me concocting a bunch of excuses.

Things sure have changed since the days when I started his book. Today, most people use their computers and the Internet to preserve memories.

➧ Storing and Managing Photos The first thing to consider is where to save your pictures.

Those with multiple computers use an external hard drive or a service such as Amazon Prime Photo, Dropbox (dropbox.com), Flickr (flickr.com), Google Drive (drive.google.com), iCloud (icloud.com) or OneDrive (onedrive.live.com). These cloud storage options create a folder on your computer and sync (make a copy of) the photos in your online account.

➧ Software to Edit Pictures

No matter how hard we work to frame a picture, there is always the need to crop so it looks good on your page or collage. Mac and Windows have standard photo editing software, but the best for this purpose continues to be Adobe Photoshop CC. Unless you are a professional photographer or graphic designer, Photoshop Elements is a great option for those who are just starting out with photo editing. Adobe Lighthouse is another version many people use. For those on a budget, check out GIMP. It’s free, open source photo editing software that can do many of the things Photoshop does.

➧ Creative Software

There are numerous software options available when setting off to create a photo collage

Taubman Prestige Outlets Suite #145 17057 N. Outer 40 Rd Chesterfield, Mo. 63005 Ph: 855.216.5446

or book. Many people use the same software as when editing their photos. Others turn to CraftArtist2, Scrapbook Max, My Memories Suite, Memory Mixer and the Forever Suite software. The Forever Suite has evolved from Artisan and Creative Memories software.

My Memories and Memory Mixer are the highest rated to date. For your phone or tablet, you might want to try: iCollages (iPhone/iPad only), Photo Collage Maker, Photo Grid or PicCollage.

➧ Printing Photo Collages

and Books Once you spend the time putting together a collage or book, you want to share it.

Many of the software options above offer printing services such as forever.com and the ever-popular Shutterfly. They make it easy and projects come out looking beautiful!

So take as many pictures as you can this summer, and make a plan to save those memories in a digital scrapbook!

SWEAT LIKE A PIG

The expression ‘to sweat like a pig’—meaning to sweat profusely—has nothing to do with pigs at all, but refers to pig iron, which is made by smelting iron ore into a transportable ingot. As the molten metal cools, the air around it reaches the dew point, causing droplets to form on the metal’s surface. Swine, on the other hand, don’t sweat much at all! Instead, they regulate their body temperature by wallowing in mud.

AMY REAGAN & MICHAEL HOLLO

4 / 29 / 17

by julia m. johnson | photos by white klump wedding photography AMY REAGAN SAYS HER ENGAGEMENT TO MICHAEL HOLLO STARTED OUT with wonderful surprises

and just got better from there. He popped the question in April 2016 in Chicago, then told her they had an afternoon flight to St. Louis to celebrate with family and friends. “Michael even had a photographer show up to take pictures of the proposal,” Amy says. “And when we arrived in St. Louis, family members were waiting at the airport with a huge welcome banner. They were all in on the secret.”

Their parents have known each other for some time, but Amy and Michael were introduced by mutual friends. “We all went to a bar one evening, and Michael and I started talking,” Amy says of their first meeting. “He asked to buy me a drink, and the rest is history.” They chose Michael’s home parish for the wedding and the Saint Louis Club in Clayton for the reception. “It must have been the rainiest day in April,” Amy says. “It started in the morning and let up for about 2 hours, so we did get some pictures in before the wedding. Then it started pouring again after the ceremony. Our guests joked that there was lightning behind us all night!”

No one’s spirits were dampened by the deluge, however. Amy says their guests had a wonderful time dining, dancing and celebrating at the reception. Her father, The Muny president and CEO Denny Reagan, even flew in a group of stage actors to perform special songs written just for the newlyweds.

“One of them sang for our father-daughter dance,” Amy says. “The reception was like a mini musical!”

Other special touches included a cocktail party and monogrammed delicacies from Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Co. Once the wedding festivities wound down, the couple departed for a week and a half of island-hopping in Hawaii. Amy and Michael are both St. Louis natives and now live in Chicago. She is an alumna of Visitation Academy and the University of Arizona; he attended MICDS, Princeton University and The Wharton School. Amy works for the Built In technology startup, and Michael works for Winona Capital.

JET LINX OFFERS CONVENIENT, PRIVATE AIR TRAVEL FROM LOCATIONS ACROSS THE U.S. PICTURED ON THE COVER: RICH ROPP, PRESIDENT OF JET LINX ST. LOUIS. FOR MORE INFORMATION, CALL 314.862.3222 OR VISIT JETLINXSTLOUIS.COM. COVER DESIGN BY JULIE STREILER | COVER PHOTO BY TIM PARKER PHOTOGRAPHY

COVER STORY

[CREATURE COMFORTS JET LINX by julia m. johnson they’re the aspects of air travel that are universally dreaded. For people who want an alternative to commercial flights, private jet travel offers a better way. Rich Ropp, president of Jet Linx St. Louis, says his company can take passengers from ‘point A to point B’ with much less hassle.

Ropp says the company’s extensive fleet of private planes can get leisure and business clients to nearly any domestic or international location faster and more directly than commercial carriers. That’s because Jet Linx can use thousands of regional airports, as well as large hubs, saving time and ground transport costs by getting passengers closer to their final destinations. There are no worries about missed connections, security delays or flying out of the way to change planes in another city. And passengers are welcome to bring their pets on board Jet Linx flights.

“Many people find traveling stressful, and they don’t like tranquilizing their animals to put them in the cargo hold of a large plane,” Ropp notes. “We consider pets members of the family, so they stay in the cabin with their owners. Travelers often feel less anxious about flying when their animals are with them, and vice versa.” Jet Linx staff members work hard to make each flight as pleasant and pampered for pets as for their owners, he says. The company even provides blankets, snacks and extra attention for these beloved companions. Dogs can roam free in the cabin, and cats can come onboard in a pet carrier.

Ropp says Jet Linx passengers simply arrive at its hangar, check in at a comfortable private terminal, and step on board the plane. “It looks more like a Clayton art gallery

than an aviation facility,” he says of the company’s St. Louis terminal, which has its own private parking lot. “You can freshen up, get a beverage and a treat for your dog, and go right out to the jet.” Clients meet with Jet Linx staff ahead of time to plan each trip; they even can bring pets along to familiarize them with the plane. “Our entire process is very thorough, secure and professional,” Ropp says.

Jet Linx is growing and has acquired its 100th aircraft this summer. “That’s a huge milestone in this business,” he notes. “It speaks to our safety record and the convenience we offer our clients. We work hard to create an environment that shows we care.” Jet Linx St. Louis is based at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and has 13 other hangars across the U.S. Its jets range in size from seven passengers to 14, and they offer a variety of amenities depending on the client’s preferences and budget. “There’s no such thing as a time machine, but our service is about as close as you can get,” Ropp says. “You tell us when you want to depart and return, and we make it happen.”

IF YOU FREQUENT THE TOWER GROVE FARMERS MARKET, you no doubt will have tasted the food of

Kitchen Kulture. Its founders, Chris and Michael, opened this brick and mortar restaurant last summer so fans could enjoy their favorites all year long.

The food here is highly flavored, mostly with an Asian bent. Coconut milk, cilantro, pickled veggies, curry, lime, red pepper and more combine with locally sourced Mofu, pork, chicken, beef and farm eggs for tongue-tantalizing dishes. Kounter Kulture does a brisk carry-out business, but also appeals as a quaint neighborhood spot with little tables for dining al fresco. You’re never far from Watson Road (and/or a parking lot), but it’s a totally fun experience for a laid-back dinner. (Note: It’s open only 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. except on Sundays.)

One standout dish was the Spring Bi Bim Bap ($15), a Korean rice bowl with fresh and preserved veggies. Three large slabs of Mofu had wonderful texture, almost grilled, and nice spices. Also in the bowl were tiny Thai lentils, crisp broccolini, shredded pickled carrots, pickled cucumbers and pickled daikon. Flavoring it all was a dab of gouchujang sauce. A farm egg sat on top.

The Chashu Don ($16) was a rice bowl teeming with shredded pork shoulder. It, too, had daikon radish and an egg but needed some sauce and a more defining flavor. Egg Drop Soup ($6) was pleasantly filled with swirling egg ribbons and scallions, but the texture was a bit gummy.

Getting back to the winners, you will not go wrong with their version of Crab Rangoon ($11), five delicate pockets much tastier than any I remember from the Chinese restaurants of old. One bite confirms that they are indeed filled with lump blue crabmeat in a binding light cream (not sticky cream cheese). The skins are deliciously paper thin, with no visible grease.

Don’t miss the Seared Scottish Salmon ($17), prepared with an amazing array of vegetables and more. The fish was moist with a light brown top and sat on a medley of mung beans, mango, cubed eggplant, soba noodles and cherry tomatoes, all flavored with Thai basil and sesame oil. The combined effect of all those flavors together was delicious.

I felt the same way about the Omu Ramen ($12), a massive noodle omelette (made with farm eggs), topped with mung beans, cabbage, black sesame seeds, shredded green onions and a couple of rich Japanese sauces: Bulldog, a popular, brown concoction, and Kewpie, a rich yellow mayonnaise.

A final item, steam buns, didn’t live up to the above high praise. The Tagarashi-spiced Catfish variety offered a delicious fish fillet sprinkled with spicy pepper, but the bun itself had an off-putting scent and was not nearly as good in texture and flavor as others I’ve had.

Bravo to the Herculean efforts of this culinary duo, neither of whom has formal training. They have an admirable devotion to locavore provisions and recyclable servingware, but most of all, they dish out some great food.

It’s summer, and the weather is only getting warmer!

The ensuing beach vacations and pool trips require a few essentials: water, sunscreen and great summer reads.

Below are a couple of picks from area authors.

» SHE RIDES SHOTGUN BY JORDAN HARPER:

The Missouri-born and -educated author releases his debut novel, a thrilling story of an intense father-daughter relationship. Nate McClusky made enemies while he was in prison, and he discovers they’ve added his 11-year-old daughter, Polly, to their hit list. When he is released, he rushes to grab her from school and begin their escape from danger. Their journey reveals Polly’s true grit and Nate’s unconditional love, but can they ever live a life free of fear? $26.99, eccobooks.com

despicable me 3 » Even being a grown-up, I was excited to see the latest in this series of films featuring the adorable (but feisty) little, yellow minions. The fourth movie with these characters still offered plenty of new material that had me laughing out loud and feeling like a kid. It was kept short and sweet, which was best—the storyline follows an obvious formula. Gru (the voice of Steve Carell) is still maintaining a life away from his villainous past and works as a secret agent with his new wife, Lucy (voice of Kristen Wiig). They are raising their adorable trio of daughters, a situation that delivers comical moments on its own, as Lucy tries to navigate her new role as ‘mom.’ When Gru finds out he has a long-lost twin brother, Dru (also Steve Carell), the two meet and start their own adventures. First up: stopping Balthazar Bratt, who has a devious plan to destroy Hollywood. Bratt’s boisterous personality and dance ‘fights’ make you want to love the guy, but in the end, you always end up rooting for Gru. I think it’s the charming accent.

» BEAUTIFUL MESS BY JOHN HERRICK:

Native St. Louisan and acclaimed author John Herrick explores themes of spiritual journeys and the human heart in his books. His third novel focuses on life in Hollywood, specifically that of Del Corwyn, an actor who lived in the limelight and now faces bankruptcy. In a desperate attempt not to become a ‘has been,’ he searches for ways to revive his career. When he finds an old screenplay

by Marilyn Monroe naming him its legal guardian, he becomes an A-lister once again. But now he must choose between love and fame, friendship and fortune. $15.95, available Aug. 1 at bookstores and online

ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS

by alexa beattie

AT TUCKERALLEN ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS, ESTATE PLANNING IS FOR EVERYONE, not

just those with means. “People hear the word ‘estate’ and they think [that kind of planning] doesn’t apply to them,” says CEO Mary Elizabeth Coleman. “But we are here to make life better for the average family.”

TuckerAllen, a subsidiary and extension of the law firm Lewis Rice, was formed last year with that clear purpose—to make sure everyone has access to quality legal services once mostly the province of the wealthy. In step with that mission, the firm recently has merged with The Elder & Disability Advocacy Firm of Christine A. Alsop, expanding its services to meet the needs of seniors, people with disabilities and those facing life-altering diagnoses. Both legal areas focus on important protections later in life: estate planning predetermines what happens after death; elder law plans for continuity of care in case of disability or incapacity.

“With increased longevity, elder law is becoming more and more relevant,” Coleman says. “But because it deals with government programs like Medicare, Medicaid and veterans’ benefits, it’s extremely complicated.” She stresses, however, that TuckerAllen is committed to “uncomplicating the complicated,” and says there may be no one better than Alsop to help families navigate the legal intricacies of programs that have ever-changing laws and regulations.

“It can be overwhelming, and there’s a lot of misinformation out there,” says Alsop. “I try to be a central place where people can come to get answers and reassurance.” Alsop says she was drawn to focus on elder law because of her respect for the elderly. “I was raised by older parents and have always understood the loneliness and frustration that can come in later years,” she says.

“It’s difficult and expensive to age, especially if you’re faced with having to spend your life savings on long-term care.” She also says she and her team understand that decision-making can become harder as we age, so guiding seniors through that process is a big part of TuckerAllen’s mission.

“Christine has a gentle manner and really listens to clients,” Coleman says. “This area of law is a special kind of calling, and it’s in high demand.”

TuckerAllen’s elder law estate plan packages are custom-designed to preserve assets for the client’s spouse and family in the event they need long-term care. Services include advanced planning revocable trusts, pour-over wills, healthcare directives (living wills), medical and financial powers of attorney, HIPAA releases and beneficiary deeds.

While The Elder & Disability Advocacy Firm of Christine A. Alsop has officially become TuckerAllen, it remains in its location on Chippewa Street as TuckerAllen’s sixth regional office. The group consists of two attorneys, three paralegals and administrative staff. “I think this merger is very exciting,” Alsop says. “We were a successful firm before, but we were small. Now, with more manpower, we have the ability to reach many more people in their time of need.”

GETTING OLD MAY BE NO FUN, but it beats the alternative, so the saying goes. No one enjoys being plagued by the common ailments of aging—creaky joints, arthritis, dry eye, incontinence—but at least modern medicine has provided us with remedies. As time goes by, the best attitude is improve what we can change and learn to accept the rest!

BY RICK STOFF

HOW TO DEAL WITH ...

DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS

INCONTINENCE There is nothing fashionable about incontinence. But there is some good news on that front, and it comes in the form of pills, Botox, exercise and absorbent underwear that is thin and undetectable.

ACCEPTING THE UNTHINKABLE It is so unfair. As moist parts of our aging bodies become dry, the parts that are supposed to stay dry may get wet. “The older you get, the more likely you are to see incontinence,” says Dr. Henry Lai, a urologic surgeon at Washington University School of Medicine.

Studies indicate, he says, that one in six adults may have overactive bladder, a type of incontinence. Incidence may be as high as 30 percent for middle-aged women, says Dr. Fareesa Khan of Urogynecology Consultants. Another category of the malady, stress urinary incontinence, is most common in women who have given birth. “It is likely related to a combination of altered anatomy and aging,” Khan notes.

DON’T MAKE IT LIFE-LIMITING “A lot of people cannot hold it until they get to the bathroom, so they restrict their activities and social lives,” Lai says. “Before they go to a shopping mall, they map out the bathrooms.

Yesterday a patient told me he can’t go out because he doesn’t want to embarrass himself by wearing a diaper and smelling like urine. Some patients are spending $100 to $200 per month buying diapers.”

But urinary incontinence can and should be treated, Khan says. “I hear people say it is normal because everybody gets older. It doesn’t have to be normal. If your symptoms are affecting your quality of life, there definitely are treatment options. If you choose to jump on it early, you probably can nip it in the bud before it becomes severe.”

TOWN&style

JULY 12, 2017

The first wave of urinary problems can arrive in middle age. “There are two types of leaking. Stress incontinence happens when you cough, sneeze or exercise,” Lai says. “It is much more common in women. As people age, the pelvic tissue is not as strong as it used to be, and physical exertion pushes urine past the urethra’s sphincter muscles.”

For women, stress incontinence is likely related to anatomical damage from childbirth, Khan adds. These anatomical changes are so common that she specializes entirely in incontinence and pelvic floor disorders, she says.

Then there is overactive bladder, or urge incontinence. “The older you get, the more likely you are to see that,” Lai says. “All of a sudden, there is a rush of urgency to get to the bathroom. Many cannot hold it.” Khan says the nerves and chemical receptors on the bladder muscle simply deteriorate with age. “Genetics, race, childbirth and lifestyle factors (smoking and obesity) play roles,” she explains.

CONSIDER YOUR OPTIONS For overactive bladder, there are medications that can relax the bladder muscle. “They allow it to hold a bit more volume and give the patient stronger control,” Lai says. He says medications work about two-thirds of the time. “We also can do Botox injections. For about 20 years, that has been a kind of pacemaker for the bladder.”

Pelvic floor physical therapy and exercises may assist women in regaining urinary control, but Khan cautions that not all women are appropriate candidates. “The exercises can make the condition worse,” he says. “Ask a physician if they are right for you.”

For many women with stress incontinence, there is a simple, 10-minute, outpatient surgical procedure with a 90 percent success rate, Khan says.

The mid-urethral sling has been subject to undeserved controversy due to problems with other surgical techniques using mesh slings, she says. “The original bladder sling has been the subject of 2,000 research studies and is still endorsed by all major medical organizations.”

AGE-APPROPRIATE EXERCISE Activity keeps joints flexible and muscles strong. It flushes the pores and keeps skin moist and glowing. It enhances the immune system and the brain while burning calories and boosting metabolism. But for seniors, the key is finding the right kind of exercise—not too stressful on the joints, but challenging enough to improve bone density, muscle mass, heart health, balance and flexibility.

BENEFITS GALORE There has been a lot of research on the effects of exercise, says Michelle Villmer of Gateway Region YMCA. “Strength training creates lean mass; cardiovascular activity keeps your heart stronger so you get blood and oxygen into all the cells of your body at a better rate. Our flexibility and range of motion are very important to prevent frailness and loss of balance. Exercise even keeps your brain sharp because increasing the blood circulation keeps your brain young,” she notes.

Exercise can boost your social life, too, she adds. “You have more confidence when you exercise regularly because you feel stronger and better about yourself. And if you exercise with friends or in a club setting, you meet people doing the same things you do.”

Aging naturally involves muscle mass and strength loss, Villmer says.

“The muscles lose mass and shorten, which can lead to frailty, so maintaining strength is very important, whether we do it by using hand weights, machines or exercise bands.” If not prevented through exercise, joint stiffness and muscle shortening can begin to affect posture and limit movement.

Strength exercises and other activities reduce the risk of falls and injuries, too.

SAFE FOR SENIORS There is a wide range of things you can do for cardiovascular activity—biking, running, walking, jumping rope or a variety of machines and classes at the local gym, Villmer says. “Finding something fun is key.”

Hiking, bicycling and other whole-body activities are powerful workouts, she says. “You use a lot of muscle fibers during these activities. When you are working at a quicker rate, you’re getting your blood pumping to every muscle in your body, and that multiplies the effect,” she notes.

Exercise is known to boost the mind, too. “People who tend to stay active and take care of themselves have quicker recovery rates when they get sick,” Villmer says. “When your brain is getting all the oxygen and nutrients it needs, you can keep up with your kids and grandkids better and continue your daily activities without feeling winded.”

FEDERAL GUIDELINES “Being physically active can help you continue to do the things you enjoy and stay independent as you age,” advises a brochure from the National Institute on Aging. “The goal is to achieve at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity endurance activity on most or all days of the week.”

In addition, the Institute states that regular exercise and physical activity can reduce the risk of developing some diseases and disabilities. Studies demonstrate exercise benefits for people who have arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, balance problems and difficulty walking. Once you start being physically active, you’ll begin to see the following benefits, according to the Institute: More energy Improved mood and outlook Greater ease climbing stairs, getting in and out of the car and doing daily activities

Less pain when you move Ability to get on the floor and play games with your grandchildren (and then get back up again)

Improvement in symptoms of ongoing health conditions Improved sleep

It may seem strange to plan your own cremation or funeral ceremony, but it’s the best way to ensure it’s what you want. It also helps your family get everything taken care of in advance, so they know that they’re doing the right thing for you.

DRY EYES It’s one of the most vexing aspects of aging: dry eyes.

Everything loses moisture as we age, and when it comes to the eyes, we feel that discomfort all day long. What can we do to get relief?

SCRATCHY, GRITTY SENSATIONS

FOLLOW US ON

“Dry eyes are uncommon under age 40,” says Dr. Stephen A. Wexler, an ophthalmic surgeon at Eye Care Associates of St. Louis. “Mucous membranes tend to get drier with age, as do most lubricated parts of the body. It’s part of the natural aging process.” The National Institutes of Health estimates the prevalence of dry eye disease may be as high as 33.7 percent, depending on which study is cited, how the disease is diagnosed and which population is surveyed.

Says Dr. Jay Pepose, an ophthalmic surgeon at Pepose Vision Institute, “One theory is that testosterone plays an important role in tear production and maintaining the glands in the eyelids. As we age, testosterone levels fall in men and women.”

The eyelids, meanwhile, may be less effective at spreading tears, Wexler says. “Our lids, the windshield wipers of the eyes, tend to become more lax and less functional.”

DISEASE OR DE FACTO? Drought can plague the eyes for other reasons. “Autoimmune diseases can cause plugging or atrophy of the lacrimal glands,” Pepose says. “Many medications, too, can lead to dry eyes.” He adds that dry eye is sometimes exacerbated by the environment. “In the winter, some building interiors can be really dry. Some people have a mixture of dry eye and allergies, particularly in St. Louis, where pollen counts can be high.”

Finally, Pepose says, “Many patients sit at a computer all day. The computer might be at eye level, so the eyes are wide open. If you are staring at a computer, your blink rate goes down, so you are going to be more symptomatic.”

SENSE THE SYMPTOMS “There is not necessarily discomfort with dry eye,” Wexler says. “Often, it just affects the patient visually. The tear film that coats the surface of the eye is the first thing that light hits as it is refracted into the eye. If you don’t have a stable tear film, vision is affected.”

Up to 50 percent of patients with dry eye may not have symptoms, Pepose says. “It may be so far along that the corneal nerves on the ocular surface aren’t functioning normally. When people start to have symptoms like grittiness, burning, itching or foreign body sensations, they should seek attention.

Without treatment, dry eye generally gets worse and can damage the ocular surface.”

“Dry eye is very treatable,” Wexler says. “The initial therapy consists of artificial tears.” Fish oil, flax seed oil or any type of Omega-3 fatty acids taken orally also can reduce inflammation and increase tear production, Pepose suggests. Some people have tried glasses with a seal around them to create a moisture chamber and reduce evaporation, he adds.

Prescription drops like Restasis and Xiidra turn on tear production and reduce inflammation, the doctors note. Another option, Wexler adds, is conserving tears with punctal plugs. The tiny devices are inserted into the ducts, or puncta, in the inner corners of the eyelids.

For some, the problem is the meibomian glands that secrete oil, Pepose says. “If the oil glands are clogged, the outer tears evaporate more quickly,” he explains. “LipiFlow is a device that heats the inner lid, melting wax in the glands. It’s a 12-minute procedure that may need to be repeated periodically.” Whichever treatment we choose to find relief, it’s important to realize that dry eye is a chronic condition requiring long-term treatment, Pepose says.

[DESIGN on my mind by alan e. brainerd

timeless: animal prints PHOTO COURTESY OF SCALAMANDRE STUDIO

People have very strong feelings regarding animal prints: they either love them or hate them, no in-between. I happen to fall in the category of the former. I understand and respect the aversion to real animal skins, but with a printed or woven likeness, no creature has been harmed.

Decorating with animal skins and patterns literally can be traced back to caveman times. In those days, it was all about utility, not decorating the cave, although animal-skin throws were popular!

The look gained greater popularity in the 16th and 17th centuries, when weavers created depictions of exotic animal hides on tapestries. These told stories about wild and woolly creatures that, in truth, the weavers probably had only heard about, not actually seen.

Moving forward to the 18th and 19th centuries, the ability to print on cloth reinforced the popularity of these patterns. Adding animal prints to the home implied that the homeowners had an understanding of the exotic, even if they hadn’t actually gone on safari. It was considered very sophisticated.

Today marketing gurus have put animal patterns on everything from baby bibs to lamps. Just look at Mackenzie Childs and note that a little goes a long way. Choose your animal and application wisely. Better yet, consult a design professional.

COME TO TERMS WITH ...

STAIRS You might not realize it, but stairs can set the tone for the rest of a home.

This architectural element fascinates me when I am traveling and touring historic homes. There are a million design combinations for the treads, risers, handrails and balusters, all opportunities to make stairs your own.

Let’s focus on the riser. One of my favorite materials is tile. For some reason, when I see tile used on a stair, I automatically think there is some sort of history to the home (even if it’s new construction!), and I wonder whose feet have traversed it over the years.

If you travel, the ideal thing to do is find tiles from an exotic land that you can incorporate into your home. (This is a great way to personalize a backsplash in a kitchen, too.) The tiles are your souvenir; you are supporting a local artist; and you have one-of-a-kind stairs that no one can copy. This look also adds a sophisticated, original, artistic flair that carpet simply cannot match.

DESIGN REDUX MILK GLASS

My godmother was a collector, and I credit her for my lifetime interest in collecting multiples of things. She loved all things beautiful, especially items created by hand with artistic flair. She is the one who introduced me to colored glass. She had her living room window designed in 2-foot square sections to create shelf space for her extensive glass collection, including Murano, crystal, amethyst, ruby and milk

glass. When the sun shone through this window, it gave the illusion of stained glass. On either side of her sofa were two statuesque, elegant, blue milk glass lamps. I was fascinated! They obviously were made of glass, yet they weren’t clear—how could that be?

This sort of glass, now known as milk glass, originated in 16th-century Venice. It was first referred to as opaque glass.

Besides white, its color spectrum included blue, pink, black, brown

and yellow. This art form reached the pinnacle of popularity in the fin de siècle, the late 19th century.

The wealthy of the Gilded Age collected it; the delicacy of the designs made it attainable only for them. To this day, the glass manufactured during that period is considered some of the finest ever produced, and it’s highly collectible.

During the Depression, new glass products were more pedestrian and produced as

‘pressed glass,’ not hand-blown like their finer predecessors.

I purchased an antique white milk glass lamp at auction recently, and when I look at it, I always think of my godmother and thank her for helping to instill in me a love of beautiful things.

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

We love the great style you always bring to the projects people send you, and we hope you can help us with some decisions. We recently had a lot of hail damage to our roof, shutters and the top of our bay window; what do you recommend to increase the curb appeal of our house? We plan to stay long-term and hopefully to add on to the house in the future.

Thanks so much, —READY FOR A NEW LOOK

DEAR READY FOR A NEW LOOK,

I think your house looks pretty good to begin with, but I would like to make two observations: the first is that the center arched window looks like it has been retrofitted with a somewhat unfortunate rectangular unit. Second, the facade is slightly asymmetrical and would look more convincing if it were even more so.

That said, you will notice new plantings at the edges of the façade are balanced but different, playing up the asymmetry. They also help keep the focus on your home rather than on neighboring properties.

Regarding the top arched window, you will see that I have put in a real arched unit with appropriate muntins. Beyond that, I perhaps got a little carried away and drew a much more elaborate doorcase to show a way of making the overall presentation more distinctive.

Hope that helps, —HOMEWORK
