WITH ONLY DAYS TO GO BEFORE SEVEN CHILDREN were due to undergo crucial spinal surgeries

in the Dominican Republic, pediatric radiologist Dr. Madelyn Stazzone, co-founder and president of the St. Louis-based Pediatric Orthopedic Project (POP), received an urgent phone call. The Santiago hospital where she and her 14-member team were due to carry out the surgeries was not ready. One of two anesthesia machines wasn’t working, and the renovations that had begun months earlier were not completed. “That was the tipping point,” Stazzone says. “I had to drop what I was doing and go.” Her emergency plan was to secure a private hospital to house the surgeries, using the government-run hospital only for patient recuperation. In the end, however, the private hospital agreed to accommodate and care for the patients. “We ended up with seven rooms for seven children. It felt like a miracle,” she says.

In the five years since POP was founded, Stazzone has led seven such missions and treated 56 children with scoliosis (spinal curvature) and other orthopedic problems. In that time, volunteer POP doctors also have educated local medics on the latest in pediatric orthopedic practices, allowing for continuity of care—a vital, sustainable part of the nonprofit’s mission.

Scoliosis is a correctable condition, but in its extreme form, it can cause death due to impaired lung and heart function. Although the exact number of affected people isn’t known, the need in this small country is great since the gene pool on the island is relatively small and genetic predisposition may be amplified. “So many children here are very poor,” Stazzone says. “They have no insurance and no way to get corrected without us.”

In conjunction with Dominican orthopedist Dr. Miguel Luna, the seven children were selected from a group of 23 by Stazzone’s husband, Enrico Stazzone, POP co-founder and a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Mid-County Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine. “We needed to pick the severest cases and those close to the cutoff age of 18,” Madelyn Stazzone explains. This year, the Stazzones’ eldest son, Enrico, accompanied his parents on the mission. “We always like to give a little extra love to the hospital when we are there,” Stazzone says, referring to the decorating and repairs her son, a recent Marquette High School graduate, planned to do over the eight-day period.

In addition to those 56 operations, another 89 have been carried out by Dominican doctors trained by the St. Louis team, and four children with particularly complex conditions have been brought to St. Louis for treatment. All these procedures have been performed free of charge, and were made possible by private donations. The children brought to the U.S. were the result of a collaboration between POP and World Pediatric Project, which provides quality, critical-care health services to children in the Caribbean and Central America.

Stazzone says POP has grown tremendously over the past year and because of it, the nonprofit has decided to postpone its fundraiser for a few months. “We felt it was necessary to focus all our efforts on the mission trip and the four patients coming to the U.S,” she explains, adding that the new date in February 2018 means that donations for the remainder of 2017 are urgently needed.

All dollars coming in will be used to fund annual surgical missions, education of local doctors and nurses, necessary equipment and supplies, and ‘beautification’ projects. Donations may be made through the POP website at popstl.org.

EDITORIAL

KARYN WILLIAMS ALEXA BEATTIE JULIA M. JOHNSON

from the editor's desk A special feature today focuses on women in the restaurant world. It can’t be easy being female in the traditionally male field of celebrity chefs. Imagine: if Gordon Ramsay’s TV persona is real, why would any woman want to get anywhere within rolling pin range of guys like that? And it might just be real, since I have it on good authority (from my chef-trained daughter) that working in a restaurant kitchen is, let’s just say, colorful. There is easy access to fire, knives and alcohol, all while staff is under pressure to deliver.

Immediately.

Yours truly has spent some time in a professional kitchen myself—a week, to be exact—during Boot Camp at the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) in Hyde Park, N.Y. It was while working on one of my first travel stories, intended to introduce readers to ‘experiential travel,’ i.e., what it’s like to train as a chef.

We had to be in the kitchen by 8 a.m., ready to chop, sauté, julienne and otherwise complete the day’s assignments. And while I don’t remember much of it—except the heat, the hard floors and the dearth of places to sit—the word that comes to mind is grueling.

The experience gave me an appreciation for chefs. It’s a challenging life, physically and emotionally, but the opportunities for creativity are limitess. Which is why it’s not really surprising that more and more women are choosing to do it. Cheffing has not been a typical occupation for women, but feeding people has.

And if women can be Navy SEALS, I guess they can work in a commercial kitchen, Gordon Ramsay notwithstanding.

TOWN TALK

THE[IN]SIDER

Y d T e T h A s P a e l un

I LOVE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, but there are

certain words that will never appear in this column (except for today) because I hate them. I know hate is strong word, but it is the truth.

‘Foodie,’ ‘artisanal’ and ‘mouthfeel’ are at the top of my list. Let’s start with foodie. Often people use this word as a way to humbly brag. “I’ve just discovered the most amazing new restaurant. It combines sea vegetables with insects. You know, I am a bit of a foodie.” No, no, you are not. Unless you were on an episode of Naked and Afraid, there is no reason for this. (And please don’t email me about how much you like seaweed or kelp; you are lying to yourself.)

Artisanal might get me in trouble. I do believe that it takes a superior skill set to make many foods taste good, especially cheese. And since I grew up eating Kraft American cheese slices, I am always a little surprised by the different cheese options. But whenever I see the word ‘artisanal’ in front of the word ‘cheese,’ I immediately picture cows and goats in swanky living quarters, like an artist’s loft in New York City, instead of a field in Wisconsin. The cows do a little painting, the goats a little sculpting and in the end the cheese they produce is artwork.

And then mouthfeel ... no, this is not a typo. The term is not mouthful, but mouthfeel. I worked on a committee where another woman suggested she go to a food tasting instead of me because she had a more sophisticated palate. I guess all those McDonald’s wrappers blowing around the car as I drove through the carpool line gave me away. I suspect that mouthfeel is a word she uses. Food can no longer merely be tasty or smell delicious. You need to be able to discuss how it feels in your mouth, and what it does on the tongue. ‘It is good’ just isn’t good enough.

A few business terms fall into the hated word category, too. I worked in the corporate world for a long time and learned that consultants might bring a fresh set of eyes to solve a problem, but they also bring their own vocabulary—like ‘metrics,’ ‘synergy’ and ‘influencer.’ I will always remember the first time I heard the word metrics. My immediate reaction was, “I am so screwed. I never paid any attention in math class.” Then I quickly realized metrics had nothing to do with the metric system. From then on, I refused to use the word.

Synergy is another one of those words that bubbled up in the 1990s and entered our everyday vocabulary. Instead of talking about compatibilities, people talk about synergies. Is it because there are too many Is in ‘compatibilities’?

And finally, influencer. This is someone who can drive trends. The one who can get you to buy tea that will cause you to lose 10 pounds in a week. These are also known as paid endorsements, but influencers sound so much less like, oh, what’s the word? ‘A sellout.’

That’s it for my word tirade. One last bit of minutiae, though. One of the most disliked words in the English language is ‘moist.’

Congratulations to ERIN HEDIGER (Francis Howell ‘15), who received the Jamie

Hometowner JOANNA DEE DAS has written a book, Katherine

Dunham: Dance and the African Diaspora. The

professor of dance at Washington University recently held a Left Bank Books signing, and will appear at another Nov. 1 at the Missouri History Museum. You can find her book at both locations.

L. Roberts Memorial Scholarship

from the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults.

Hediger is the daughter of Ted and Mary Hediger of St. Charles.

She maintained a 4.0 GPA at Mizzou during her cancer treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma and will apply her $2,500 scholarship toward her studies in biology.

Bravo to THE MAGIC HOUSE for receiving a National ADDY award from the American Advertising Federation. Its Remember to Play campaign, produced by Bruton Stroube Studios, was a silver winner in the Local TV Commercial (60 seconds or more) category, chosen from more than 40,000 entries nationally. The campaign stresses the importance of free and unstructured play in child development.

Did you know that the ST. LOUIS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT was the first in the

nation to use a ‘rogues’ gallery’

(i.e., mug shots) to help identify people suspected of crimes?

The Missouri History Museum has published an enhanced eBook about the topic, Captured and Exposed: The First Police Rogues’ Gallery in America, by Shayne Davidson.

It’s not every day that you hear about a $20 million gift—even at Washington University.

Yet that’s the amount longtime trustee JOHN McDONNELL has donated to establish the McDonnell

Scholarship Challenge.

It will support scholarships and fellowships at the prestigious institution.

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

Restaurants have popped up and vanished like daylilies at 7401 Pershing in U. City. I heard the tale of four ladies stopping in to eat one day, lo these many years ago, when a nice ladieslunch restaurant occupied the space.

The server timidly confided that the cook had just quit, adding apologetically that they still had soup. Then she drifted away. Flummoxed, ‘the girls’ waited a while … but their server did not return. Cursed? Why; yes indeedy! Cursed Bikes & Coffee opened at the hapless corner a month or so ago, and when we dropped in for a nonfat latte over the July 4 weekend, two women cyclists were enjoying their brews outside under an umbrella.

We’d just noticed the new place (silently making the sign of the cross) one June night on our way home from visiting friends in the CWE, because the corner has always been such a curiosity. The black awning had us at ‘Cursed’—new owners Jeff and Erin Gerhardt obviously scoff at superstition. If eateries have failed here, it’s the perfect place to start a leisurely cycling adventure—or to relax before, during or after a jaunt. Another challenge of the building is logistical: The dining room is up and away from the kitchen, about 40 steps, which includes three ramps, one of them long and pretty steep. Imagine negotiating that with a tray of soup. Cursed’s logo is a whimsical Jolly Roger skull and crossbones; the ‘bones’ are bike wrenches, the ‘skull’ is a stylized coffee cup with sash over one eye. Bike rentals are available … until a grand piano lands on the building. We still think it might be wise for Jeff and Erin to have a priest, rabbi, imam and the Dalai Lama in for blessings, just in case. But meanwhile, let’s raise a cup of cursed, yet delicious, java to toast the couple’s moxie!

Americans worried sick about losing their Obamaera health care are mad as hornets, and demonstrating that they just aren’t going to stand for all this lollygagging

by Congress about a campaignpromise issue that has yet to be resolved. U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) has been the target of his constituents’ fears and frustrations. There were nine arrests for trespassing during a July 6 healthcare protest, Clayton police said. The civil disobeyers reportedly refused to leave the building lobby at 7700 Bonhomme Ave. unless Blunt (who was not in Clayton that day) agreed to vote ‘No’ on the languishing bill to ‘repeal and replace’ Obamacare.

Outside on the sidewalk, demonstrators carried signs and banners, one saying: ‘Sen. Blunt: People’s Health Or Corporate Wealth … Choose One.’ Another protester, pictured here with her sign, was not arrested either, nor were her husband and friend. Her whimsical message about this polarizing issue riffed on the lyrics to ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?’ by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. The demonstrations were part of a nationwide effort during the July 4 Congressional recess to give legislators something to think about before returning to Washington. A similar, smaller protest was held that Friday (July 7).

U. CITY

Do we need to start a GoFundMe page so Enterprise Bank & Trust Co. can buy some desperately needed signage? I drove south on Brentwood Boulevard July 10, looking for the alleged branch on the west side just north of Manchester Road, but only saw Eagle Bank while using my GPS. I finally drove past Manchester and pulled into a lot to check the address.

Yep, right next to Erwin F. Schwarz Ltd.—that cool luxury car place— is what is supposed to be an Eagle Bank. (I fantasized about trading my wheezing 2002 Odyssey van for a new Rolls or Bentley. Then reality beckoned.) Hesitantly, I entered the building and asked whether I was, indeed, at Enterprise Bank? A

CLAYTON

personal banker smiled and nodded. Still uncertain, I approached the teller windows, behind them a convincing metal Eagle Bank sign affixed to the wood paneling. Then, at my teller window—Eureka!—was a stack of deposit envelopes with the logo and tagline for Enterprise Bank & Trust (Talent-Strength-Passion).

Still incredulous, I asked my teller when the bank had changed hands. “May,” he responded, a little sheepishly.

“Wouldn’t you think a bank would have the money to pay for signage?” I exclaimed. Still, before I left, I looked hard at my receipt. Yes, I was at the right bank. But … who knew for sure? Fortunately that was my wife’s bank; I’ve been a faithful customer of Allegiant Bank … I mean National City … I mean PNC ... I mean the bank on the northwest corner of Forsyth and Bemiston! I’ve banked there for 20 years—at whatever the heck bank it’s been, or is by the time you read this. Meanwhile, Boatmen’s, I mean NationsBank, is still right across Forsyth. I think.

To many, Canada geese are a tad annoying. To others, they’re obnoxious pests. And some folks think they’re just kind of funny. The species became particularly notorious on Jan. 15, 2009, when a group of the 12-pound birds got sucked into both engines of a commercial airliner, forcing the ‘Miracle on the Hudson’: Pilot ‘Sully’ Sullenberger famously landed in the river. All aboard were rescued, none with life-threatening injuries. The big birds cause no such dramatic problems here, but at least in Tilles Park, it appears there’s been a population explosion. Runners and dog-walkers have noticed that more of the birds are permanent residents, poking their beaks into the grass and pooping everywhere. If they migrate at all nowadays, maybe it’s only as far as Town and Country or Creve Coeur. Or anywhere there’s water and good grass to eat. Rush-hour traffic has had to stop in both directions on Brentwood Boulevard at I-64 to let a mama goose lead her fuzzy goslings from the big pond

Think you could sing the National Anthem at a pro sports event? No, not like that disgraceful rendition by comedienne Roseanne Barr at an MLB game a while back, where she spat like any baseball player after she was finished. Yeah, Roseanne sure nailed it that time—right to the foul pole. That was not ‘a winner,’ with apologies to Jack Buck. Anyhow, let’s take off the spikes and lace up some hockey skates, because the St. Louis Blues and St. Louis Symphony Orchestra are joining forces to showcase the vocal talent—or gymnastics, at least—of fans throughout the metro at an upcoming Blues game. The Blues and SLSO will hold two rounds of auditions to select a local singer or musician to perform ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ on the ice prior to a 2017-18 season Blues home game. Performers of all ages are encouraged to enter, including soloists, vocal groups, instrumentalists and small groups. To be considered for an audition, hopefuls must submit an online entry at stlouisblues. com before midnight Aug. 11. Finalists will be invited to an in-person audition at Powell Hall to perform live in front of a panel of judges. Auditions will be judged

by Blues anthem singer Charles Glenn and two SLSO representatives. For more information and to submit an online entry, visit the website. Anyhow, think you can carry a tune? I still can … in a bucket. In sixth grade as a boy soprano, however, I played the lead in a production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s Christmas opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors, by the Children’s Opera Company in the Baltimore-Washington area. Thank the little baby Jesus there weren’t camera phones or YouTube in those days.

Today? I probably sound like the late, great British blues singer Joe Cocker … only off-key, with bronchitis.

RESIDENT PHIL LIKES WITH HIS NEW FRIEND

LAST MONTH, THE RESIDENTS OF STONECREST AT CLAYTON VIEW RECEIVED A VERY SPECIAL DELIVERY—THREE TINY CATTLE DOG PUPS AND THREE TABBY KITTENS. “I HAD DOGS AS A CHILD,” SAYS RESIDENT DARLENE MURRAY, SHUTTING HER EYES, STROKING A 5-WEEK-OLD FOSTER PUPPY BROUGHT BY THE ANIMAL PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION OF MISSOURI (APA).

The APA’s FosterCare program was launched earlier this year and places animals still too young for permanent families into temporary foster homes. These animals, explains Ashton Keenan, FosterCare coordinator, include kittens and puppies anywhere from a few days to 8 weeks old. After that, they can be spayed or neutered and given to their ‘forever homes.’ Placing very young animals in foster homes also reduces exposure to illness during the early weeks of life and provides critical socialization. “This arrangement is a win-win situation for all involved,” Keenan says.

Stonecrest, an assisted living and memory care facility, has hardly been without an animal since the program began. “Our residents love, love, love these pets,” says Erika Holmes, Stonecrest’s Vibrant Life director. “Not only do they make them happy, but if they are walking the puppies, they are getting exercise as well. The program is therapeutic for both body and soul.”

Laclede Groves, a Lutheran Senior Services community, also is an avid participant in the foster program. “It is so wonderful to see the pure joy on the residents’ faces,” says Kristina Wille, director of resident services. “Pets provide instant comfort and security, and for seniors who may have had pets all their lives, it makes a huge difference in their well-being.” Wille adds that Laclede Groves already had a partnership with APA through the organization’s PetReach initiative. That program—in existence for more than 30 years—has sent APA staff, volunteers and their pets (mostly dogs) into senior care facilities, psychiatric units, convalescent centers and children’s hospitals. Each dog is evaluated to make sure it is friendly and adaptable to new people and surroundings. “The heart of our mission is to bring people and pets together,” says Kim Brown, APA director of operations. “Life is so much richer for having an animal in it.”

Creve Coeur Assisted Living & Memory Care has participated in PetReach since it opened two years ago, and hosts a volunteer and their dog once a month. “Sometimes, it can be hard to engage [memory care residents],” says Tracy Hickman of the senior community’s activities department. “But they make a connection with the animals instantly. It’s amazing to see.”

Brown adds, “Not only is it comforting for seniors to pet the animals, but it also gives them an outlet to talk about the past and the pets they’ve owned. Everyone gathers around and it becomes the highlight of their day.” Brown says the APA is hoping to expand the PetReach program to include domestic violence shelters. The nonprofit already partners with area agencies to provide temporary care for pets of domestic violence victims.

[PARENT TRAP GRANDPARENTS: FINDING BALANCE

HEARD [ IN THE ] HALLS by julia m. johnson

by dr. tim jordan JACK AND GINNY ARE the

parents of three young children, facing a dilemma parents have known since the beginning of time: how much spoiling by grandparents should they allow?

The children always get gifts when they spend time with Grandma. Will it spoil them? Further complicating things, this fear is mixed with their gratitude that the children have such an important influence in their lives. So, where’s the balance?

First, since parents spend the most time with their children, they have more than enough opportunity to teach kids about delaying gratification, earning privileges, and the value of hard work and diligence. If you teach kids these qualities, you won’t have to worry if grandparents occasionally indulge your children with sweets and treats.

But it is still reasonable to set boundaries with your parents about the kind and amount of gifts you want them to give your children. Open, respectful conversations can result in agreements that meet everyone’s needs. This is especially true if grandparents are spending a lot of time with kids as babysitters or during after-school care. Some parents have a hard time with these dialogues, but a little temporary discomfort beats simmering resentment.

Here’s my message to grandparents: give gifts other than toys. The gift of time is the most valuable, so create memories that will live on after you are gone. For example, use your time together to teach kids how to cook special family recipes, how to build and fix things and enjoy books you read at their age. Tell them stories about their ancestors, take long hikes in the woods and teach them about nature.

Parents don’t always have the time or patience for these slow times and lessons, so you can fill this important role.

Mom and Dad are often distracted with making a living and being disciplinarians, by encouraging kids to make good grades and get into top colleges. Grandparents are more in the here and now, which means they’re more present and accessible. And it makes their love feel unconditional— that is the beauty of your role as a grandparent. You’re less invested in and worried about children’s achievements and long term future.

Being a grandparent is the most precious role in life.

Your value lies in your gift of time, your unconditional love, and your ability to see and accept grandkids for exactly who they are. Parents and grandparents simply need to resolve any disagreements about grandparenting styles so this relationship can always blossom.

I founded the organization as a 501(c)(3) with Jean Purcell in 2012, but we had done work with this cause for a few years prior.

Jean and I were both so taken with the music at Teresa’s service, we decided to create a benefit album to memorialize her. We gave What interested you in this all the funds to a national initiative, The particular cause?

She had moved sexual assault. to Seattle, was in a great relationship with It was just something cathartic for us her partner, Jennifer, and was planning to do, but we started getting inquiries from their wedding for September of that year. agencies asking us to speak at conventions.

Music was always a huge part of who Angel Band Project hires board-certified Teresa was. Her entire family is gifted; her music therapists to go into places like

We’re currently at seven agencies locally and have expanded to Seattle and New York City.

It’s growing, and it’s working. We served 93 victims last year compared to 65 the year before. It’s an unlikely gift we were given, to find this mechanism for helping these victims heal. Music connects everyone organically.

If you’re grieving, it’s such a comfort. Women walk in not making eye contact, and six weeks later, they are so confident. They are able to express their stories through music, and it’s been really powerful.

I oversee program management and get out to engage the community. We operate mostly with volunteers, but we’re on a trend of expansion, so I became an official executive director a couple of years ago.

If you could do anything for the organization, what would it be?

Jean and I had a choice to make when Teresa passed: either get angry and not believe there is any goodness in the world, or do something so that she didn’t die in vain. Her spirit is in this project, and I’m glad we can provide some comfort through our work.

TEAM [A+ REDKEY REALTY LEADERS by alexa beattie

PHOTO: JENNIFER KORMAN PHOTOGRAPHY

COVER STORY

AT REDKEY REALTY LEADERS, the roots are local, but the reach is global. “That’s

one of our mottos,” says CEO Jill Butler, who founded the company in 2012. Last year, RedKey became a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE), cementing its commitment to serve local residents and those coming from across the globe. “Relocation is one of our areas of specialty,” Butler says, “and [joining that network] will only make us stronger.”

Relocation referrals traditionally came by word of mouth or Internet search, but now RedKey agents attend international meetings where they network with some of the world’s finest real estate firms. LeadingRE lists 565 firms in more than 65 countries, and membership is by invitation only.

Another way in which RedKey is uniquely positioned to offer platinum service to clients is the ethnic diversity of its agents and the number of different languages spoken, Butler says. Off the top of her head, she lists Spanish, Russian, French, Hindi, Bulgarian, Romanian and Polish, and says agents and clients are always matched with their mother tongues in mind. “When people are coming from another country, we want them to feel welcome,” she says.

Butler explains that RedKey agents see themselves as ambassadors for St. Louis and are dedicated to showing the city in its best light. “Our town has had a lot of bad press lately,

(SEATED) NATE JOHNSON, JILL BUTLER, KLAUS BANK, JANE SPOONER; (STANDING) JILL BALABAN, CAITIE WIEDNER, TIM McGOWAN, JANE FERRARI, STACEY BRIDSON

and some people may be apprehensive about coming here,” she says. “But we make it our job to know what makes the city great—where the best communities and schools are, the parks and attractions, and places of worship.” RedKey even offers limousine tours of the city to clients coming in from out of town (in a car typically reserved as a celebration for transporting clients to closings). “They’ve just gotten off a flight, they’re tired and in strange surroundings—what better way to begin a new journey than with a fun hour or two of sightseeing!” Butler says.

Although relocations make up a small percentage of RedKey clients for now, Butler is confident the numbers will rise. “With Washington and Saint Louis universities, and big companies like Monsanto, Boeing and Emerson, the city continues to draw people from other places,” she says. “Already, our relationship with LeadingRE has brought us a lot of new buyers.”

Butler formed the company five years ago with a broad philosophy: to serve the needs of the St. Louis community. Its first 12 months saw a 300 percent growth in sales. RedKey now has 150 agents in two offices (Chesterfield and Frontenac), and is planning to open a third next year. “We are very proud to be independent and to have created our own brand, environment and character,” Butler says. “Our official motto is, ‘love, service and fun’—love our clients, serve our community and have fun. We do it every day.”

REDKEY REALTY LEADERS IS A MEMBER OF LEADING REAL ESTATE COMPANIES OF THE WORLD (LEADING RE), MAKING IT UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CLIENTS RELOCATING TO THE ST. LOUIS AREA. IT HAS OFFICES IN FRONTENAC AND CHESTERFIELD. PICTURED ON THE COVER (IN FRONT): STACEY BRIDSON, JILL BUTLER; (IN BACK) CAITIE WIEDNER, JANE SPOONER AND JILL BALABAN.

WONDER WOMEN

BY ALEXA BEATTIE

In kitchens and behind counters across town, St. Louis women are hard at work … and changing the shape of an industry traditionally dominated by men. They haven't just cracked the glass ceiling, they've taken over the 'corner office'—and at a very young age, too.

ASHLEY SHELTON

JESSE MENDICA

Take Ashley Shelton who, earlier this year, was named a James Beard semifinalist for Rising Star Chef of the Year. Shelton, 28, heads up the kitchens at The Niche Group's Sardella and Pastaria, and on any given shift can be in charge of more than 20 people—many of them male, and often older than she. “I definitely like being different, but being female still has its challenges,” she says. “If a man barks an order, he's seen as masterful; if a woman does it, she tends to be judged.”

Shelton has worked in kitchens since she was 17, when she took a job at Annie Gunn's under then-executive sous chef Jesse Mendica. Shelton says without hesitation that Mendica, also female, always has been a role model. “I grew up seeing that passion. It was very inspiring,” she says.

Mendica—now executive chef at Olive + Oak—also has a faithful following in Samantha Mitchell, executive chef at The Libertine in Clayton. Mitchell, 30, worked for seven years as sous chef at Annie Gunn's, and is the owner of Farmtruk, a 'rolling' farm-to-table concept. “You have to go a little above and beyond to earn respect as a female, and it was awkward at first,” she says. “But I try to lead with kindness and understanding, and in this business, people don't always expect that.”

Both Mitchell and Shelton say they are excited about St. Louis' food scene. “It's insane how good it's getting. Food events, food trucks, so many chefs forging their own paths,” says Shelton. “The city's really finding its voice.”

St. Louis coffee roasters are finding their groove as well. And at Coma Coffee Roasters, another woman under 30 is at the helm. Macy Holtzman, 27, launched her business a year ago and is one of relatively few roasters in the city. She says

MACY HOLTZMAN

coming from an entrepreneurial family has positioned her for success. “When you run your own business, you have a lot more invested in it,” she says. “There's real incentive to work harder.” Although she says the coffee industry tends to be male-dominated (her own roaster—Connor James—is a guy), she believes women roasters increasingly are seen as innovators.

I DEFINITELY LIKE BEING DIFFERENT, BUT BEING FEMALE STILL HAS ITS CHALLENGES. For now, Coma (which Holtzman co-owns with younger brother Corbin) consists of a coffee bar in the University Tower in Brentwood, and a roastery in The Grove, where it processes 400 pounds of beans each week. Some of those are used in the shop, and some are sold to local partners like Sucrose, Foam and Pharaoh's Donuts. “Although St. Louis coffee culture is developing, there's still a lot of room for third-wave roasters,” she says, referring to the movement that supports the ethical, sustainable production of artisan coffees. “But it certainly helps that restaurateurs are getting on board and exposing their customers to high-quality, specialty beans.”

Holtzman says she and her brother hope to open a second cafe at their Grove roastery in the next year.

[A FORCE FOR GOOD WOMEN’S FOUNDATION OF GREATER ST. LOUIS by alexa beattie

PHOTO: TIM PARKER PHOTOGRAPHY

COVER STORY

WHEN THE WOMEN’S FOUNDATION OF GREATER ST. LOUIS (WFSTL) was formed

10 years ago, women in the workplace could breathe a little easier. “There was nothing like it before,” says founding president Pat Rich, who explains that while the organization falls under an umbrella group of Women’s Foundations worldwide, the WFSTL has a local mission to improve economic security for women and girls in our area. Since its inception, the group has awarded grants to more than 35 organizations that serve St. Louis area women and girls, and has actively and passionately engaged the community in removing the barriers to success that women can face. “We are a force for the better,” Rich says, noting that only about 8 percent of U.S. charitable foundation funding goes directly to organizations that solely serve women and girls.

In September, WFSTL launches a new initiative to salute employers with a demonstrated commitment to female employees. The Women in the Workplace: Employment Scorecard 2017 program encourages organizations to improve their policies and practices by highlighting those that already have good practices in place.

“It’s a way for businesses to assess how they are doing and how they could do even better,” says WFSTL executive director Jane Callahan.

There are six categories on the scorecard, covering everything from compensation and recruitment practices to retention efforts, workplace culture, leadership and community support. “By lifting up organizations that make special efforts to hire, retain and promote women, we offer a model for others to follow suit,” Callahan explains, adding that only

NANCY KRANZBERG AND ALI KINDLE HOGAN AT RUNG BOUTIQUE, A RESALE SHOP THAT BENEFITS WOMEN’S FOUNDATION

those that achieve an ‘A’ score will be announced publicly.

Callahan also suggests that a natural incentive for employers might be found in the results of a recent global study conducted by the Peterson Institute for International Economics. It reports that having more women in senior management positions appears to increase profitability. “If companies know gender and racial diversity make good economic sense, they will be inspired to create an opportunityrich environment for all employees,” she says. The scorecard goes live on wfstl.org Sept. 6, coinciding with WFSTL’s 10th anniversary ‘Making a Difference’ event.

This year, the keynote address will be given by Jessica Bennett, New York Times columnist and author of Feminist Fight Club: a Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace.

Nancy Kranzberg and Deborah Patterson are honorary co-chairs; Pat Rich is the organization’s 2017 honoree. “There is a lot of enthusiasm for this year’s event,” Callahan says. “We are thrilled to be honoring Pat and excited to bring together women from all walks of life throughout the region.”

In addition to serving as founding president for WFSTL, Rich has been president of the Arts and Education Council and director of planning and development at the Missouri Botanical Garden. She is founding partner of EMD Consulting Group and is an Advanced Certified Fundraising Executive, the highest accreditation in the fundraising profession.

‘Making a Difference’ takes place at Hilton St. Louis Frontenac.

THE RESTORATION OF THE GRAND HALL inside this historic 1917 landmark is breathtaking. The dark

woods, staghead wall hooks, wrought iron chandeliers and painted-tile murals take you back to a very different time and place. An authentic Bavarian bierkeller, or beer hall, Bevo Mill was a haunt of the local Busch family back in its heyday, and a favorite of St. Louis’ sizable German community.

The complete structure encompasses much more than this grand hall, but the rest looks largely untouched, still waiting for its makeover. There is ample outdoor seating in an urban garden atmosphere, mostly with views of somewhat ramshackle storefronts, but that is overshadowed by the charm of Bevo’s stocky windmill and Teutonic exterior. The menu is small and simple: a few sandwiches, salads and sausage boards meant to pair well with beer.

A starter of Pork Belly Pierogies ($9) came as a platter of about six deep-fried dough pockets filled with mashed potatoes and sprinkled with bacon, scallion and crema. If they were going for an authentic German item, they missed the mark with the dough, which tasted more akin to crisp Asian wontons than boiled, doughy German dumplings. The crema, too, was out of place; pierogies would take a pungent mustard better than a creamy white sauce. Were they tasty nonetheless? Yes, they had the same pleasant fried quality as crab rangoon.

Despite sounding a bit suspect (deep-fried sauerkraut?) the Kraut Balls ($7) were really good.

Packed inside a very crisp and non-greasy crust were tart sauerkraut and crumbled German sausage.

The three large balls came with a cheddar-beer mustard that tempered the vinegary flavors.

What could be more German than bratwurst and kraut? The German Board ($12, with French and Italian options too) had the whole nine yards: bratwurst, sauerkraut, a soft pretzel, beer mustard and German potato salad. I liked the presentation on a thick wood board. The brat was mild, no real spicing of any kind, and was helped along by the grainy mustard on the boar, although I think it was meant for the pretzel. The kraut was OK, but I prefer it tangier with more vinegar and caraway. The potato salad had the most memorable flavors, a mix of sweet, sautéed shallots, bacon, scallions and creamy warm vinaigrette.

Another signature dish is the Pork Schnitzel, a thin pork filet, heavily breaded and smothered in brown gravy dotted with bacon and crumbled sausage. It was very well done and struck me as a quintessential example of hearty Germanic food. It came with an impressive medley of fresh veggies—sautéed green beans, asparagus and baby carrots.

Das Bevo is a fun place to spend a few hours, for more reasons than just consuming dinner. St. Louisans will love seeing a familiar landmark come back to life. There’s a fabulous patio with many benches, counters and tables where diners can enjoy al fresco eating and imbibing. And, of course, it’s a beer hall, with a massive communal table down the center that lends itself to all kinds of drinking, laughing and celebrating.

The downside was the somewhat spotty service: diners at our table were served at different times, for example.

IT’S SATURDAY MORNING, AND AS THE TEMPERATURE

rises and your weekend begins, you want to do something fun. You decide to head over to one of our city’s great farmers’ markets.

You peruse the many vendors to see what the market has to offer.

As you explore, you begin to analyze the abundance of produce. Although you know it is all great to eat, you’d like to find a way to incorporate some of this bounty into a cocktail. You see watermelon, strawberries and blackberries, to name just a few.

As you leave the market with sacks of fresh produce, you think of all the different fruit and liquor infusions that can be created. The combinations are endless, and entirely up to you. There are many different fruit-flavored liquors on the market, but making them at home provides an extra element of freshness, along with the satisfaction of creating something entirely your own.

Concocting fruit-infused liquors is not a difficult process, but it does take some time. The intensity of fruit flavors depends on how long you let them infuse. Use a quart jar or other type of bottle that can be sealed. For the spirits, I recommend something clear like vodka, rum, gin or tequila. Then use your fruit-infused liquor to make a refreshing summer cocktail. The infusion recipe below can be made with a variety of fruit combinations.

M VIE REVIEW

[ DRIVEN ]

maudie »

I had a feeling this would be a slow, quiet film, and it is. It’s probably not to everyone’s taste for that reason, but it does carry a positive message about perseverance. The movie is based on the true story of Maud Dowley (Sally Hawkins), a simple, shy Nova Scotia woman who makes a major life change after her home is sold out from under her. Despite everyone’s fears that she’s not mentally up to the challenge, she takes a job as a maid in the tiny rural home of Everett Lewis (Ethan Hawke), a gruff and blunt-spoken peddler of fish and wood. To soften her hours of solitude, Maud picks up a brush and fills the home’s walls and windows with painted flowers, trees and birds.

She develops crippling arthritis over the years, and just holding a paintbrush is difficult. But a relationship blossoms with her tough-skinned employer, who learns her secrets, puts up with the flowers and birds and realizes he needs her as much as she needs her painting. Soon Maud puts out a shingle and gains local fame for her simple, colorful images. The film is plagued by an issue I see often these days—the actors mumble through much of the dialogue, making viewers wonder what important points they’re missing. Otherwise it is well acted by Hawkins and Hawke, who prove that seemingly incompatible personalities can reach a level of love and understanding.

SHOULD YOU SEE IT? Yes, it’s an uplifting story. -J.J.

TESLA MODEL X by robert w. paster

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW CARS WILL LOOK AND DRIVE IN 10 YEARS, check out the Tesla

Model X, an all-electric, all-wheel-drive SUV that’s at least a decade ahead of its time.

The first thing you’ll notice when you approach the car with the key fob in your pocket is the door handle popping out to greet you. With some options, the door even opens automatically. Hop in, buckle up and press the accelerator. No need to turn the engine on or off.

The next futuristic feature is the extra-long windshield that wraps up into the roof. And the third attention grabber is the falcon-wing rear doors that can be opened and closed from the center console. They provide generous access to the second and third rows of seats.

Technologically, the Model X is far ahead of everything else on the road, and the great thing is that it won’t fall behind with age because Tesla updates the computers in each of its cars via the Internet on a continual, as-needed basis.

Autosteer (which works up to 90 mph), auto lane change, and automatic braking allow the Tesla to just about drive itself. You can’t nap in the back seat, but in stop-and-go traffic and on long road trips, you can take your hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals for a rest. Active safety features include automatic emergency braking, side collision warning, lane departure warning and autopilot. An optional feature even allows the vehicle to drive itself without a human on board, so you can summon it from a parking space. Talk about futuristic!

Since all of an electric vehicle’s torque is available instantaneously, acceleration is necksnapping, though silent. Handling is pretty good for an SUV since most of its prodigious weight is in the batteries, which are essentially in the floor, making for an extremely low center of gravity.

That aids maneuverability and decreases the chances of a rollover accident. Steering can be adjusted, with a nice tight feel and good feedback in sport mode. Because the electric motor uses regenerative braking, stepping off the accelerator essentially engages the brakes. That means you can do most of your stopping without even applying the brakes, conserving the brake pads.

A large screen dominates the center dash and operates very much like a large iPad. Swiping up, down, left and right controls most of the vehicle’s features. Because there’s no engine under the hood, there’s a handy storage area up front, which combines with a generous cargo area in the rear and easy hatch access. If you have more people than cargo, a handy third row of seats accommodates two passengers, though it helps if they’re not too large.

never be overlooked, doctors say. And because it’s such a private part of the body, patients may not always know they have medical problems there. So it’s important to have a specialized care team available to diagnose and treat conditions of the area, since they easily can impact a woman’s overall health.

Washington University Physicians recently launched the Vulvovaginal Disorders Clinic, a program for patients with conditions of the vulva (external female genital area) and vagina (the muscular canal that connects the uterus and vulva). The new clinic is at the Center for Advanced Medicine-South County, and offers a team approach with obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Holly Steiner and dermatologist Dr. Becca Chibnall. During clinic visits, patients receive comprehensive, compassionate treatment from both doctors for problems like infections, cancers and hormonal issues.

So why does it make sense for a dermatologist and gynecologist to team up on behalf of female patients? The vulva is part of a woman’s reproductive tract but it’s also part of her skin, Steiner explains. Many patients have conditions that cause pain, itching and discomfort, which can contribute to sexual dysfunction and relationship problems. So it’s essential to seek help when symptoms arise, she notes.

Chibnall says meeting with both doctors in the same visit saves patients time and stress, especially when they’re coming from outside the St. Louis area. It also means a thorough and comprehensive exam and care plan for every patient. Some may need surgery, and others can receive outpatient treatments. “It’s good for us to be able to do patients’ medical and surgical management at the same time,” Chibnall notes. “They see us communicating well with each other throughout the process, and that makes them feel good about working with us.”

Steiner adds, “Sometimes it’s hard for a patient to know when there’s a serious problem. For example, she may experience itching and assume it’s something simple like a yeast infection. But in some instances, it also could signal something more serious, like cancer.” Treatments available to clinic patients include oral and topical medications, injectables, laser and surgical procedures, physical and sex therapy, and psychotherapy. As part of the doctors’ philosophy of thorough care, dermatologist Chibnall also can perform whole-body skin exams on clinic patients to check for other problems. And they can see Steiner during regular office hours for well-woman exams and other gynecological services.

Many women with vulvovaginal problems have struggled for weeks, months and even years with itching, pain and discomfort. “We aim to manage and treat all varieties of vulvovaginal disorders and help women reclaim their lives,” Chibnall says.

BY JULIA M. JOHNSON

Breast Cancer in Young Women It may be surprising to learn that breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in women under 40. But doctors say there are a number of ways they can treat it and save lives.

... breast cancers in younger patients tend to grow more quickly ...

F12 |

TOWN&style

JULY 19, 2017

THE DREADED DISEASE “There are about 240,000 new cases of breast cancer each year in the U.S.,” says Mercy breast surgeon Dr. Cara Hahs. “That overall number has stayed pretty stable, but some newer studies suggest there may have been a slight increase among younger women since the 1970s.” She says breast cancers in younger patients tend to grow more quickly, so they need more aggressive treatment. Still, doctors usually are able to treat women under 40 as successfully as they can older patients, she notes.

Most cancers begin in the milk ducts, often in just one breast, Hahs says. Treatment options such as chemotherapy, radiation, lumpectomy and mastectomy depend on factors like age, overall health, and whether a woman is done with childbearing. And DNA testing is available to see if there’s a genetic tendency for the disease.

NOTE THE DISTINCTIONS Hahs says women under 40 should keep breast health on their radar, especially when there is breast or ovarian cancer in the family. Mammography looks for inconsistencies in the density of breast tissue, which becomes more lax and easier to screen as women age—so the technology may be less effective in younger women with denser tissue, she notes. Still, new 3-D mammography is making strides in image quality and earlier detection of tumors, says Dr. Stephanie Schnepp, surgeon and medical director of the Breast Center at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital. “It’s possible for women in their 20s or 30s to get breast cancer. But we’ve gotten very good at finding and treating it,” she says.

It’s important to note that women can get breast cancer even when it doesn’t run in the family, Schnepp says. “Family history is key, but screening and risk reduction are just as important,” she explains. Some doctors say women should have a mammogram every two years starting at age 50, according to Schnepp. But because cancer can appear earlier, she advises a more cautious approach—yearly mammograms starting at age 40. “These days, when we catch it at stage 3, the patient still can be treated as effectively as someone at stage 1,” she says. “Anytime you notice something different during a self-exam, you should see your doctor and have testing done.”

Hysterectomy

Skin Conditions

There was a time when hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) was a go-to solution for issues like benign fibroid growths on the uterus, endometriosis and heavy bleeding. But today, new treatments can solve many patient problems without removing the uterus. And those who do need the surgery can take advantage of less invasive procedures and shorter recovery times.

Your skin does a great job of protecting your body from infection and injury, but it’s not completely invulnerable. Rashes, bumps and moles are common occurrences that sometimes have serious consequences, doctors say. So how do you know when that itch, blemish or spot warrants a trip to the doctor’s office?

NEW OPTIONS Dr. Brigid Holloran-Schwartz, SLUCare gynecologist and professor at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, says modern nonsurgical treatments include endometrial ablation and intrauterine devices (IUDs) like Mirena that release hormones to combat heavy menstrual bleeding.

Thermal ablation treatments such as Acessa use heat to reduce fibroids. And other contraceptives such as pills, skin patches and vaginal rings can help control bleeding as well.

“It’s an interesting time in this field,” says Dr. Brooke Winner, a gynecologist and assistant professor at Washington University School of Medicine. “Some women come in assuming they’ll need a hysterectomy because their mothers or grandmothers had one. But we’re able to lay out other options for many of them.”

NOT YOUR MOTHER’S HYSTERECTOMY Winner says hysterectomy used to involve larger abdominal incisions, longer recovery periods and significant activity restrictions. Today, however, it can be done laparoscopically and even robotically, and patients can return to normal activities much more quickly. And Washington University physicians are using new procedures to make it even safer, she says. Sometimes the uterus is so enlarged that it has to be morcellated, or cut into small pieces, before removal. If cancer is present, morcellation may cause it to spread, so the new technique contains the uterine tissue in a bag to reduce that risk.

INFORMED DECISIONS The main difference between hysterectomy and other treatments is that hysterectomy is the only permanent ‘fix’ for uterine conditions, Winner says. For example, a process called embolization cuts off blood supply to fibroids, but it shrinks them instead of removing them. Another surgery called myomectomy removes the fibroids, but they may come back. “If the patient has five or more growths, there’s a greater chance they’ll return,” she says.

Whatever her situation, today’s patient has several choices in treatment, Holloran-Schwartz notes. “I often hear women say they’ve had to organize their work and social schedules around their bleeding,” she says. “But there are a lot of medical and surgical options that can help. Most patients are much happier afterward and wonder why they didn’t see a doctor sooner.”

RULES OF THUMB “I tell patients if there’s a pink area, bump, itchy rash or spot that hasn’t healed in a month, or that bleeds or turns into a sore, it should be looked at,” says Dr. Andrea Garrett of Forefront Dermatology.

“Sometimes we can recommend over-the-counter medications like hydrocortisone for a few weeks, but if the area isn’t healing, the patient should be seen by a doctor.”

COMMON CULPRITS Conditions like ringworm crop up at this time of year and may be easy to mistake for other rashes.

“Ringworm is actually a fungal infection that gets pink, itchy and scaly, and can appear on any part of the body,” Garrett says. “It can be spread by contact with other people and pets, or objects that have the fungus on them.” Rosacea is a condition causing redness, irritation and blemishes, mostly on the face and neck,

she says. It’s more common in women than men, and can be treated with topical or oral prescription drugs.

THE NOT-SO-GREAT OUTDOORS Walking in grassy or wooded areas can increase risk of insect and tick bites, which potentially can be serious enough for a doctor visit. Garrett says there are several tick-borne illnesses to watch for, including ehrlichiosis (a bacterial infection), Lyme disease, Southern tick-associated rash, and serious allergies caused by the Lone Star tick’s bite. Again, she advises, if these conditions appear, seek a doctor’s advice.

Acne that hasn’t responded to over-the-counter remedies also should be treated by a doctor, Garrett says. So should moles, skin tags or spots that look asymmetrical or change color, size or shape—and any other skin condition that seems unusual or causes problems.

FROM SUMMER BEAUTY ESSENTIALS

BY MARYLYN SIMPSON

Stocking up on your summer beauty essentials is more than just an excuse to step into Sephora. It's important to protect yourself from the sun and keep your skin properly hydrated if you want to avoid wrinkles in the years to come. Below are some products that will help you care for your skin properly this summer, no tan necessary.

1

1 GLOW ON THE GO

2

What’s a summer beauty routine without self-tanner? Create a natural glow with James Read’s New H2O Illuminating Tan Mist. Formulated with 24 kt. gold, light-reflecting particles and a base of organic rosewater, the ultra fast-drying formula gives a sparkling glow for the day, with a natural-looking tan that lasts up to five days.

2 CRAZY FOR COCONUTS Coconut water isn’t just for drinking anymore. Too Cool for School’s Coconut Ceramide Sheet Mask is as hydrating as it is nourishing. Made with 30 percent coconut water to recharge and replenish skin, the lightweight sheet mask maximizes absorption of active ingredients, including lauric acid to boost skin immunity and ceramides to prevent moisture from evaporating.

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL H20 COCONUT CERAMIDE SHEET MASK $6, SEPHORA

3

3 SUMMERTIME SKIN Sure, 'summer break' means rest and relaxation, but it also should mean giving your skin a break with Natura Bisse C+C Vitamin Summer Lotion. Intense hydration soothes and restores a sense of well-being to skin. Active ingredients include pure vitamin C for increased collagen production, and aloe vera for anti-inflammatory benefits.

NATURA BISSE C+C VITAMIN SUMMER LOTION $62, NATURABISSE.COM

4 SAVE FACE If you’re going to apply one product to your face this summer, look no further than Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30. This dual moisturizer and sunscreen blocks UVA and UVB rays while leaving your skin properly moisturized. It won’t clog your pores and you can wear it under foundation.

KIEHL’S ULTRA FACIAL MOISTURIZER $21-$50, NORDSTROM AT WEST COUNTY CENTER

5

5 COOL DOWN AFTER A NIGHT ON THE TOWN The perfect day-after solution for sleepless nights, late dinners, and long nights on the town, Lancôme’s Énergie de Vie Illuminating and Anti-Fatigue Eye Gel is a must-have.

With a frosty roll-on applicator, the cooling gel hydrates skin while eliminating signs of fatigue. The applicator features three steel rollerballs to refresh tired eyes, and the plumping crystalline gel becomes liquid for instant hydration. The gel is formulated to retain 60 times its weight in water!

[T&S HOME by julia m. johnson

THEIR CHILDREN HAVE GROWN UP AND MOVED ON,

so Liz and Bill Gladney have decided to downsize from the lovely brick home they bought 23 years ago from its original owner. In fact, they are so enamored of the area and its neighbors, they’re not venturing far—just down the road.

“We’ve always loved this location,” Liz Gladney says.

“It’s one of the best things about the home. We can walk to Barnes & Noble or MaggieMoo’s with our grandchildren, or head down to Shaw Park anytime we want. We love that it’s really close to everything in Clayton.”

The 4,300-square-foot home was built in the early 1940s but is unusually adaptable and versatile, Gladney notes. She and her husband added on 1,200 square feet a couple of years after purchasing it, creating a new upperlevel master bedroom/bathroom suite and other space.

31 LOREN WOODS DRIVE, LADUE listing price | $1,024,000 listing agent | gina bundy of gladys manion real estate

The addition also was built to accommodate a laundry area if needed. And the basement offers a good deal of flexibility if new owners want to create a customized recreation room. “It has an amazing amount of closet space for an older house, too,” Gladney says. “I’ll really miss that—it will be hard for us to duplicate it at our next address.”

She says the home’s lovely family room has always been its centerpiece. “It has a great fireplace, and we put a harvest table, sofa chairs and lots of comfortable furniture in there,” she notes. “It really is where we live.” A large patio on the east side of the house is shaded all day long for al fresco dining, and Gladney says it’s been the site of memorable graduation parties, Father’s Day celebrations and more. There’s also a glassed-in sunroom where her family loves to relax, she notes.

The home’s spacious yard is yet another favorite feature, and Gladney says she will think wistfully of this private, peaceful lane in the years to come. “It’s so quiet and comfortable here that it’s easy to get to know all the neighbors,” she says. “You see everyone outside at this time of year. When our children were younger, we held neighborhood picnics, and we’ve always enjoyed having cocktail parties for new neighbors, too.” In later years, the neighborhood kids went off to college and moved out, but now younger families are coming back in and bringing new life and activity, Gladney says. “It really is a wonderful place to raise kids. It’ll be hard for us to leave this house, but we are glad we’re not going far. We hope the next family has another 23 happy years here like we have!” An open house is planned for 1-3 p.m. July 23.

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

We love our mid-century home. It is on a short cul-de-sac with other similar homes on large lots. That said, the neighborhood is changing and we believe that some teardowns will be starting soon.

We have updated many aspects of our interior, and now want to upgrade the exterior to look a bit more polished next to our neighbors’ new, much larger homes. We would love some stone accents if that could work.

Sincerely,

—READY FOR THE FIGHT

DEAR READY FOR THE FIGHT,

Your long, low house is nicely framed by trees and the current color will work well with some new stone accents. The thing we need to work on is the underdeveloped front entry.

To that end, you will see that I have added a new stone porch with a standing-seam copper roof. This new, taller element gives the composition a vertical accent, as well as makes it look more ‘important.’ A low garden wall extends the stone theme and gives the very flat façade a sense of dimension.

The landscaping has been slightly adjusted by adding more ornamental grasses. A new entry urn and modern light fixtures complete the look. You now have more appropriate armor for the upcoming style war.

Hope this helps, —HOMEWORK

ANTIQUEScomes ROADSHOW to town

BY DOROTHY WEINER

It’s not every day you see people wheeling mahogany chests and bronze statues down Washington Avenue, but then it’s not every day that Antiques Roadshow comes to St. Louis. In fact, it’s been 17 years since the last time!

Lucky for us, our city is one of just six on the 2017 Summer Tour, which will air on PBS sometime in 2018. So what’s it like to be part of this unique cultural happening (which started, by the way, in England)? With 5,000 people milling around Exhibit Halls 4 and 5 of America’s Center, you might expect it to be a mob scene, but it was entirely orderly. I guess these folks were just glad to be chosen from among 16,000-plus applicants!

Attendees are assigned staggered times to arrive, which keeps the steady flow of people and merchandise moving along throughout the day. Typically, they stay in the massive exhibition hall two or three hours, just long enough to show off their prized possessions, ascertain value, and head home knowing more about that family heirloom or garage sale find than they did when they arrived.

If they are among the very lucky few to be filmed (about 125 are recorded, of which about 30 actually air on TV), they will spend a nerve-wracking half-hour under the glare of lights— and everyone within sight—as their appraiser interviews them on-camera and reveals the actual value of their item. That is the first time they will learn that all-important bit of information.

How are these special folks chosen? That is totally at the discretion of the appraiser. These experts, approximately 70 of them in 24 specialties from militaria to tribal arts, come from all over the country to offer their services. Everything about the Roadshow is free for participants: entrance, appraisals, taping.

Appraisers don’t get paid; they come at their own expense, ostensibly for the chance to find that one-of-a-kind treasure— and for the national exposure it gives their businesses.

Alas, my item was not exceptional enough to be flagged for a taping. I did find out, however, that my Ballets Russe de Monte Carlo magazines were ‘very well preserved’ and would fetch about $600 ‘in the marketplace’—whatever that is. I don’t know anyone who’d want to purchase magazines from the 1940s, even if I wanted to sell them.

What I really discovered is how personal the concept of value is when it comes to prized possessions. I picked up those magazines at an estate sale years ago, initially because I admired the artwork on the covers. Then as I flipped through them, I was transported into the ‘40s, imagining what life was like during wartime. The advertisements revealed an America where Fownes gloves were “worn by the smart women of today” and Helena Rubinstein lipsticks were 75 cents. There were ads for Bryans hosiery, Bloch Freres handkerchiefs and Flexaire undergarments “for bosom beauty.”

Upon closer inspection of the magazines, I noticed that the costumes for one ballet—arrayed over two pages—were designed by none other than Marc Chagall. The ballet’s board listed Mary Pickford, Edsel Ford and Helena Rubinstein, plus various Astors and Vanderbilts. And the choreographer list includes Agnes de Mille and a young George Balanchine. That’s when I knew that, Antiques Roadshow or not, holding a piece of history in your hands is priceless.
