FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

the faces behind the scene

publisher editor in chief creative director

editor emeritus associate editor staff writer staff writer

WHEN PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE HERE (OR THOSE WHO ARE NEW TO THE AREA) ASK ME HOW I LIKE ST. LOUIS, I always have the same response

that includes the following: 1.) It's a wonderful place to raise a family. 2.)

The food scene is extremely notable and vast. 3.) There are countless opportunities to experience art and culture.

'Culture' is a very general term, one that I always want to explain in much more detail. St. Louis doesn't just have a few cool museums and a couple venues to take in a concert or show. No, we have award-winning artists, world-renowned musicians, museums that draw people in from across the country, and one-of-a-kind venues that produce amazing shows. We have such extensive options for it all—theater, music, art, design, dance, photography—that I often get overwhelmed by what's available. I want to experience everything! And while I've lived in St. Louis for almost 14 years now, I'm still learning what's out there.

Take this issue's Art & Culture special section. I discovered that Kenny Rogers is a very reputable photographer thanks to The International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum, located right here in the StL on Olive Street. He will be honored with the nonprofit's first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award. And I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the caliber of actors we have in this city; it's easy to get so engrossed in a show that you forget what it takes to put it on. It is amazing to me how many successful theater companies we have that consistently deliver quality productions. And from the three actors we interviewed, it sounds like they all support each other and love living here—it's all about quality of life.

I was at lunch recently in one of the coolest buildings, the .ZACK, with the Grand Center Arts District president and CEO, Karin Hagaman.

She is busy promoting the district as such: an area within St. Louis that offers numerous opportunities for cultural experiences. It's home to more than 45 arts organizations! The Fabulous Fox, Powell Hall, Dance St. Louis, Circus Flora, The Sheldon, the Contemporary Art Museum, Strauss Park, Public Media Commons—all are within walking distance of each other. And that's just naming a few. The .ZACK building alone houses a record shop, VIP green room, small theater, restaurant and space for local performing arts groups.

A theme we discussed was getting the word out, as it was noted that even locals don't realize it all exists. So let's make it a point to embrace all the 'culture' our city has to offer—there is no better way to learn, grow and support our community.

PEDAL THE CAUSE HAS RAISED NEARLY $16 MILLION FOR CANCER RESEARCH since its

founding in 2010. It’s an awe-inspiring figure, but what’s even more impressive is that 100 percent of those donations are used to fund life-saving research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. This model is possible, in part, because of the event’s presenting sponsor, Edward Jones.

The financial firm is not content with just sponsoring Pedal the Cause, however. Edward Jones also organizes one of the largest teams, which has raised more than $1.7 million since 2011. This year, it hopes to raise another $300,000. “It is a ‘shoot for the moon and land among the stars’ target,” says Alex Faught, the team’s co-captain. “The dollar amount is not the end-all. We’re looking for more team involvement and for returning riders to push themselves above and beyond.”

Faught himself is a returning rider. A part of the Edward Jones team for four years, he’s ridden 200 miles and raised more than $5,000. This year, he’s pledged Yellow Jersey, which requires raising $2,500 or more. “Working toward curing cancer is first and foremost for everyone,” he says. “But it’s also really fun! I’ve been lucky to meet a lot of great people through this opportunity. Everyone is happy to be there and make an impact.”

This is Faught’s first year serving as co-captain. He shares the leadership position with Brian Ashworth, who has captained the team since the ride started. Faught says, “Ashworth is just one example of a giving leader who embodies the spirit of volunteerism at Edward Jones.” Another is managing partner Jim Weddle, who has ridden in support of the cause since 2011.

For Trish Hull, a member of Team Edward Jones and a breast cancer survivor, this firm-wide commitment to Pedal the Cause is important. “I am so thankful to be a thriving survivor who works at a firm that believes in helping others,” she says. “Putting an end to cancer is a big passion of mine, and it helps to be part of an organization that shares that mission.” Hull did not even own a bicycle when she joined the team in 2014. She initially served as a virtual rider before taking on the 10-mile PTC Circuit last year. “I was inspired by the stories of riders at Edward Jones and felt I should get more involved as a cancer survivor,” she says. “So I bought a bike, and I call it ‘my bicycle on a mission.’ That mission is to put an end to cancer.”

This year marks Hull’s second to pledge Yellow Jersey, bringing the total she’s raised for the cause to almost $6,000. Her motivation comes from first-hand experience with important research at facilities like Siteman. “That vital research informs patients’ crucial decisions regarding treatment,” Hull says. “Decisions I made based on that information are partly why I am cancer-free today.”

This year, Pedal the Cause is Sept. 23 and 24. The event includes live entertainment, an inspirational program, Taste the Cause and more. With six different courses, a stationary cycling option and the Ameren Kids Challenge, there is a truly a way for everyone to get involved.

BALLWIN

Police officer Randy Ferrell has been selected to fill the new position of Elementary School Resource Officer.

He will serve as a liaison between the Ballwin Police Department and six elementary schools in Ballwin (all in the Parkway and Rockwood school districts, as well as Holy Infant Catholic School). Ferrell will be in a pivotal position in building positive relationships with students to improve the community’s future, police officials say. Ferrell, 35, has seven years of experience with the department, and his colleagues say he’s perfect for the new position. Ferrell and his wife have three school-aged kids themselves. Plus, he is approachable and has a laid-back demeanor that works well with kids.

This is critical. Schoolkids need to know that cops are here to help, and they should feel comfortable talking to them. We don’t want anyone intimidated to seek help if they see something that’s not right or need help themselves.

Could we be the next Silicon Valley?

Would we even want to be? For a moment, forget about millennials making microchips and trying to digitize everything but their motherin-laws, and focus instead on the collective strengths in the biosciences we have arrayed right here in River City. A recent report produced by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) supports the contention among committed bioscience businesses that we’re already all that and a bag of kale chips here in the StL. Our initiative—BioSTL—has been up and running for 15 years now. And business ‘clusters,’ the research shows, increase the productivity of companies and job creation, drive innovation, stimulate formation of new businesses, and support the survival and growth of small businesses. Plant science is the chief focus of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and

BRDG Park in Creve Coeur, with Monsanto just to the south across Olive Boulevard. Cortex in the CWE, an incubator and more, is located in the same neighborhood as Washington University Medical Center. None of this is by accident. Donn Rubin, president and CEO of BioSTL, says a “deliberate approach … has put in place the people, ideas, capital, and infrastructure to create a vibrant cluster to spur economic growth.” The report also looked at the progress of analogous initiatives in Chicago, New Orleans and San Diego. Clusters can provide a framework for organizing disparate local and regional public policies and investments directed at economic development. The metro as a whole has rallied behind this, without that ‘city vs. county’ noise being much of a hindrance. It should be a source of pride that St. Louis is rubbing shoulders with other great cities, thanks to a successful cluster built on our strengths in medical and plant sciences. Entrepreneurs, take note.

floor houses four classrooms. The student commons was built in the space between the addition and existing school building and provides a dramatic overlook into the gym. A designated community area, the commons will allow students to gather, use collaborative study areas and meet with faculty. Founded in 1956 by the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Cor Jesu Academy features a student body of about 600 young women from 60 ZIP codes across the metro. Here’s to the next few graduating classes—including the Class of 2021, which just started the new semester and will spend all four years of high school in their new surroundings— and beyond!

AFFTON Cor Jesu Academy has opened its new,

$8.9 million performance gym and student commons.

This has enabled the Catholic all-girl high school to offer new courses and learning programs, while also growing its sports programs. The 40,000-square-foot, three-level addition is the second phase of the longrange campus enhancement plan to be completed.

The project was funded by a nearly $10 million capital campaign launched in 2014 to provide a range of new facilities, including site improvements, more on-campus parking and increased financial aid for qualifying students. Now, the endowment fund provides financial assistance to 28 percent of the young women who attend Cor Jesu. The building addition features a gym on the first level, with two full basketball courts and space for volleyball competition, as well as permanent bleachers and expanded weight and workout rooms. On the second floor is a new dance studio that doubles as a multipurpose room, plus athletic offices and the student commons. The third

GPS device for the department right out of training.

Cops alerted the media that Tank and his handler, Officer Courtney Spiess, got separated sometime in the early dawn hours of Monday, Aug. 21, but he wasn’t on the lam for long. He was located less than two hours later. He’s quite the four-legged dude to have on the force: At only 2 years old, Tank already has built an impressive resume. Within a day after his matriculation from K9 training, he and Spiess found an autistic teen who had wandered away from his family’s O’Fallon apartment and dangerously close to a busy access road; the same week, they also tracked down a dementia patient. Spiess, who trained with Tank for about five weeks, says he’s quite a guy … always eager to go to work. He’s one of only 60 or so of his breed—a hunting and tracking dog descended from bloodhounds of medieval times—working as police dogs. Let this be a warning to slimeballs, especially those with drugs, on the west side of the metro: You can run, but you can’t hide from Tank, whose secret weapon is his nose. If he gets to know your stink, you’re busted.

DENVER

It’s almost like Jerry Lewis couldn’t take the news of fellow comic icon Dick Gregory’s death, because the zany white guy died less than 24 hours after the activist black guy did. R.I.P. to them both, each much larger than comedy.

Gregory died Aug. 19 at 84; Lewis on Aug. 20 at 91.

So now, another bronze star on U. City’s Walk of Fame (on the sidewalks of Delmar Boulevard in The Loop) seems to be glowing a little brighter. Born in St. Louis, Gregory made light of the racial divide during the civil rights struggle of the 1960s: “I’ve got to go up there as an individual first, a Negro second,” he is quoted as saying in The Last Laugh: The World of Stand-up Comics

by Phil Berger. “I’ve got to be a colored funny man, not a funny colored man.” Indeed. Some of the things he said were not designed to make people laugh, but to make them think: “The free man is the man with no fears.” Gregory remained active until a few days before his death, apologizing via social media that he’d have to postpone his Atlanta show until the end of the month. And he was in-your-face until the last.

The president’s Twitter feed is #therealdonaldtrump; Gregory tongue-in-cheekily tagged his Instagram page @therealdickgregory. From a March 26 post: “As I approach my 85th revolution around the sun this year, I wonder why has it been so difficult for humankind to be kind. So difficult to be loving and lovable. For my militant brothers and sisters, please don’t misconstrue loving and lovable to be weak or submissive. Love will always be triumphant over hate.”

THE[IN]SIDER

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

THERE WAS NO ONE MORE UPSET about the firing

of Anthony Scaramucci than me. (Well, maybe he was.) I had already started writing a column titled, What Would The Mooch Do? In it, I encouraged people to do the exact opposite. Then, I read that his wife filed for divorce and he missed the birth of his child because he was traveling with the president. I thought, gosh, I can’t kick a guy when he’s down, even one who refers to himself as ‘The Mooch’ and wears blue reflective sunglasses. So I decided to rename this column Let’s Not Be Jerks and provide helpful hints to make you a better person. Please know, these opinions are my own and in no way represent the views of Town&Style. Also, it has been very hot outside and I’ve had a migraine for 10 days.

St. Louis drivers, help me out! I could beg you not to text and drive, but I know you won’t listen. Could you please just not check your texts when you are stopped in the left-hand turn lane, particularly the one at Clayton Road and Big Bend Boulevard? When you are distracted, you miss the signal. Amazingly, though, you notice it just in time for only your car to make the light, totally screwing everyone behind you.

I know St. Louis has a ‘no honk’ rule, but I encourage people to lay on the horn when they witness this behavior. One more minor request for those on the road: Can you use your blinkers? You can find them behind your steering wheel. They help those around you know where you are going. That way, we don’t have to communicate telepathically.

I recently read an article that said while St. Louisans are friendly to newcomers, they don’t necessarily want to become friends with them. Unfortunately, my old writing partner Raschelle lived that firsthand upon her arrival in St. Louis when another mother told her she didn’t need any more friends. Sounds awful, but you must give the woman points for honesty.

Raschelle and I became friends, and even though she moved to Boston, I can’t imagine not having her in my life. So, at this year’s back-to-school activities, talk to someone new and invite them to coffee, drinks, take a walk in Forest Park? It’s your chance to prove that article wrong. Plus, you won’t have to discuss where you went to high school since they aren’t from here.

Think of all the other fun stuff you can talk about. Next thing you know, you two will have your own advice column in Town&Style called Backtalk.

Flying on an airplane these days is far from enjoyable. If people followed a few simple rules, it would be much better. Here are a few good ones: 1. Say hello to the flight attendant when you board.

2. Always keep your shoes on. 3. The person in the middle seat gets both armrests. 4. Food brought on the plane should not smell bad. I read that flight attendants hate serving Diet Coke because it fizzes more than other beverages and takes longer to pour.

But I love Diet Coke. When a restaurant server asks if Diet Pepsi is OK, I change my order to iced tea. So, what should I do on an airplane? Drink what I want even though it annoys the flight attendant? Hmm. What would ‘The Mooch’ do?

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

by julia m. johnson

When Dance St. Louis’ 2017-2018 season gets under way at the end of September, a new artistic consultant will be on stage working with artists.

Dancer and choreographer TERENCE MARLING recently accepted the post, having formerly worked with companies in Chicago, Pittsburgh and Germany.

The new season includes TAP Dynamics and a production of Chicago at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

NANCY AND KEN KRANZBERG are set to receive the Landmarks Association of St. Louis’ H. Meade Summers Jr. Award for their efforts in preserving architectural gems. The couple has made countless gifts supporting the revitalization of area landmarks for use by cultural organizations. They’ll be fêted at an Oct. 27 event at the Boo Cat Club, a century-old architectural treasure itself!

Leaders of Distinction for 2017! Several women are chosen each year for their efforts to improve life in St. Louis. This year’s honorees are: Diane Compardo, Moneta Group; Jovita Foster, Armstrong Teasdale; Tara Nealey, Polsinelli; Emily Pitts, Edward Jones; Mary Stillman, Hawthorn Leadership School for Girls; Leila Sadat, Washington University; Jennifer Labit, Cotton Babies; Karen Aroesty, Anti-Defamation League; Noemi Neidorff, philanthropist and volunteer; and Kennedi Ginger, a Whitfield School senior.

Congratulations are in order for STEVE MACKIN, newly named president of the area’s second-largest medical center,

Mercy Hospital St. Louis. He takes the reins

A | It’s not too late. History shows that investing success is determined much more by time in the market than timing of the market. Focus your efforts on aligning your investment portfolio with your time horizon and being properly diversified.

TOWN TALK

[ASSET$& ANSWERS Q “ “

by stephanie wallace

HOW MUCH SHOULD YOUNG PROFESSIONALS SET ASIDE FOR RETIREMENT WHEN THEIR INCOME IS CLOSE TO WHAT THEY NEED TO LIVE ON?

Saving for retirement is an important practice even when income and expenses are tight.

It sounds counterintuitive, but going from a savings rate of 0 to 1 percent annually is often more challenging than going from 1 to 5 percent. Take charge now, and begin saving whatever amount is manageable. Get this discipline incorporated into your life before new priorities (new house, spouse, kids) come along and zap your focus.

There are two approaches for savings: grow your top line (income) or decrease your bottom line (expenses) and save the difference. Getting to where you want to be often involves employing a mix of both strategies and phasing them in over a few years.

A good target for young professionals is putting 10 percent of their annual income toward retirement, but those with greater means should aim to save 20 percent. Saving larger amounts in your early years is particularly beneficial because it provides a longer time for your investments to grow.

Be careful to save for other things, too. Retirement is very important, but it is not the only significant goal in your life.

”

—WHITEY HOLT

WEALTH ADVISOR PLAZA ADVISORY GROUP INC.

The answer is quite simple.

Start saving as soon as you can, and begin saving as much as you can pre-tax so you don’t miss the income from your paycheck.

In reality, it’s impossible to know the precise amount you will need for retirement.

There are too many unknowns, including how much you’ll earn during your career, the age at which you will retire, and how long and well you will live.

Because there are so many variables, no one can agree on the total dollar amount that is needed to retire.

Saving 15 percent is a reasonable target, but save more if you can. If your employer offers you a 401k or similar plan, take advantage of it. The amount you can contribute annually to a 401k— $18,000 this year—is dedicated from your income, so there are no taxes on that contribution.

Many employers also provide a percent match toward your contribution.

Whatever amount you save, make sure it is sensibly invested. Put it in a broadly diversified portfolio. Talk to multiple advisers who focus on retirement planning and investment management.

Look for specialists in this arena that are CFPs, CTFAs, or CWSs. Choose wisely and pick an adviser with a firm that has long-term stability and depth.

Whatever you save and invest today for the long term can make a big difference in the future. If you can save more, even a 1 percent increase can mean a lot over time.

So how many rooms can you fit into ONE room? This charming cottage had limited space and a limited budget. It needed to work for everyone and the dog. So we created a fresh, clean, happy space that functions as a laundry, powder room, kids’ bath, mudroom...and yes, the dog’s room! Eating and sleeping there, he gets the most mileage out of it.

TOWN] by dorothy weiner

EVEN THOUGH I RETIRED FROM MY DAILY EDITOR’S

duties a few weeks ago, my first official day off was the day I wrote this column. And I have to say, that’s when I realized that from now on, every day will be the weekend. Instead of the usual scramble to get in a 3-mile walk and a coffee stop before 8 a.m., I woke up leisurely—the way I vaguely suspected other people got to do. Then it was off to an aerobic swim class at Shaw Park in Clayton. (It still counts as exercise if you’re really there to sunbathe, right?)

Turns out swim instructor Peggy was a drill sergeant, but then, that’s what exercise teachers are supposed to be. No paddling softly in the shallow end during this class. At 9:30 a.m., we hit the water and didn’t stop moving until she said so. Twist it. Twist it. Hold those abs in tight. You’re going home with stronger abs tonight!

Well, not all of us; she really couldn’t see what we’re doing under the water. I learned several things that first hour of retirement. On the plus side, I can do karate kicks and jump rope in the pool! On the downside, I do not have what it takes to be a Navy Seal.

The water works up quite an appetite, so next up was ‘out for brunch’—words that have never passed my lips on a weekday. Apparently it’s a thing. I didn’t realize how many other folks all across the country were sitting in restaurants during the week, eating pancakes. Now I can be one of them.

The afternoon was a little less leisurely: I actually had to do some work—a meeting, some writing, obligatory reading … but that’s OK. I wouldn’t want to enjoy all my retirement ‘firsts’ at the same time. After all, too much of a good thing, is, well, another way to describe retirement.

HOT [WHITE SSM HEALTH CARDINAL

GLENNON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL by julia m. johnson HOOVES POUNDING, MALLETS STRIKING A BALL, excited guests cheering—

these are the sounds of Glennon Gallop, the annual polo match and party thrown

by SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Held in support of the Danis Pediatric Center at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon, the Sept. 16 event provides a day of fun for all ages.

“We basically build a small city on the Kräftig Polo Club field in Defiance and call it ‘A White Hot Affair’ because everyone wears white,” says Sandy Koller, vice president of philanthropy for the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation. “The women put on hats, and it’s very glamorous. Everyone enjoys not being in the usual gala ballroom and instead, breathing fresh air in the country.” This year, the band Pik’n Lik’n will perform, and a silent and live auction will keep the party atmosphere going. “There also will be Retail Row with vendors selling fashionable items—ties, hats, all kinds of fun things you can wear that day,” Koller adds. A huge tent will accommodate several hundred VIP guests as they enjoy champagne, a mid-match divot stomp and more.

Koller says guests have a choice of ticket prices. VIP ticketholders can access the party tent with live music, auctions, vendors, champagne and more. Field-side guests can either bring their own food or purchase it from on-site food trucks. VIP tickets are $150 per person and $1,500 per table, and field-side tickets are $25 per carload. VIP gates open at 1 p.m.; for other guests, gates open at 3 p.m., and the match starts at 4 p.m. The event also features fun activities for kids.

COVER STORY

POLO PONIES ON THE FIELD AT GLENNON GALLOP

Polo ponies and teams appear courtesy of the St. Louis Polo Club, says Sandberg Phoenix & von Gontard attorney Peter von Gontard, who co-chairs the event with his wife, Susie, and Chrissy and Mike Nardini. Putting on a polo match is quite an elaborate production, he notes. “The eight players change horses during the match, and each player brings a minimum of six. So at least 50 horses are needed, and there are usually around 75,” he says. “You need staff to transport and handle the animals, and then there’s all of the tack, clothing, equipment and trailers.” But von Gontard says the effort is well worth it to support an important cause.

While a great time is had by all in the festive field atmosphere, Koller says everyone stays mindful of the event’s purpose—to help area children stay healthy and strong. “The Danis Pediatric Center provides full access to health care without regard to a family’s ability to pay,” she notes. “It was designed to help 5,000 patients annually, but it’s now serving about 21,000 per year. The center doesn’t turn anyone away.” Funds raised by the Glennon Gallop will help expand the center to serve even more children. The presenting sponsor for this year’s event is the T. Danis Charitable Trust; A. Bommarito Wines, Kräftig Brewery, the St. Louis Polo Club, Fabick Cat and McAlister’s Deli are sponsors as well.

“We celebrated the hospital’s 60th anniversary last year,” Koller says. “Bringing our mission to the excitement of the polo field is a great way to connect more people with Cardinal Glennon. We want to remind the community that we are staying at the forefront of children’s health care and sharing our vision for the next 60 years.”

ON FILM [ART INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM by stephanie wallace A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. As cliché as that expression is,

photography is undoubtedly powerful, capturing moments that would otherwise go forgotten and unseen. In a time when many people grab their phones instead of their cameras, the importance of preserving photographic history and honoring the true geniuses behind the lens is vital. That’s the mission of the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum in the Grand Center Arts District, an institution that treasures this emotive art form and strives to share it with the world.

On Nov. 17, the IPHF will host its annual Hall of Fame Induction & Awards Ceremony, co-chaired by Pat Whitaker and Dick Miles. This year’s nine inductees include many well-known names, like Anne Geddes, widely known for her photos of infants; James Nachtwey, an American photojournalist and war photographer; and William Eggleston, an instrumental figure in legitimizing color photography as art. “All were selected for their artistry, passion and revolution of photography,” says executive director Patty Wente. The ceremony, held at the .ZACK, will include the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award, presented to Kenny Rogers.

“Most don’t know about Kenny Rogers as a photographer, but he is known among professional photographers for amazing portrait and landscape photography,” Wente says. “He received an honorary master of photography degree from the Professional Photographers of America in 2014.” The country music star is not the first musician

to be inducted into the IPHF. Graham Nash was inducted last year. “Nash is an accomplished photographer who revolutionized digital printing, which most people don’t know,” Wente says. “It is the mission of the IPHF to not only recognize pioneers in the industry, but also to educate the public about photography history.”

The IPHF offers lectures and other educational opportunities and will soon release its schedule for the fall. “We have lectures on everything from the history of photography to kids with cameras to iPhone photography,” Wente says. “We invite speakers from around the world to share their photographic expertise.”

Exhibits at the IPHF also offer the public a chance to engage with history. “The IPHF has a collection of more than 30,000 images and more than 5,000 cameras. We rotate exhibitions to showcase the collection,” Wente says. This February, the photography of Vivian Maier will be on display, and visitors currently can view the work of Jason Hailey in The Selective Eye: Photography as Abstraction through Nov. 4. Also on display through Sept. 16 is Adolf Fassbender’s photograph of the Jan. 24, 1925, total solar eclipse. It is the only known photograph showing the eclipse and landscape on the same film. Following the induction ceremony in November, the work of the Lifetime Achievement winner and inductees will be on display until Feb. 10, 2018.

Wente says St. Louis is an appropriate location for this institution—and one the community should cherish. “The IPHF started in Illinois, moved to California and then settled in Oklahoma City for several years,” she notes. “When it came time to move again, there was a nationwide search, and St. Louis was the perfect fit. There are more than 40 local institutions that offer photography instruction here, from high schools to graduate programs. And the St. Louis camera club is one of the oldest in the United LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD HONOREE KENNY ROGERS States, having held its first meeting in 1914!”

Charming urban cafe/wine bar with patio

the prices

$7 to $16 starters, $9.50 to $12 meals

the favorites

Croque Monsieur, Smoked Brisket, Housemade Chips, French Onion Soup

margherita flatbread A LITTLE WINE, A LITTLE CHOCOLATE—WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE? Well, a sandwich or

flatbread might be nice, too. That must have been the determination of the Bissinger’s team when it decided to rebrand its prime space on the CWE’s prettiest block. With a new name to boot, the cafe serves salads, soups, flatbreads and hefty sandwiches.

Makes sense. You can lounge outside enjoying the cobblestone street and elegant fountain while nibbling charcuterie, or, if you prefer, take a seat in either the cafe side (where the chocolate case is) or the wine lounge and savor a rich roast beef sandwich with housemade potato chips (among the best I’ve tasted).

A Smoked Trout platter to share ($16) offered smoky fish on a bed of arugula. It came with sliced French bread and a mini tub of creamy, full-fat ricotta cheese. The coup de grâce was the lovely Pickled Shallots—spicy and full of vinegar flavor. You can construct canapés by layering the arugula, shallots, cheese and fish on the bread. A pile of tiny cornichons provided more tangy pickling.

A serving of French Onion Soup ($5) was satisfying with its melted cheese topping and soppy French bread; the broth was quite sweet and not as densely flavored as the best of its kind, but still quite nice.

The menu clearly has a French bent, fitting for a purveyor of French confections. The Croque Monsieur was superb. Served open-faced as two halves, the presentation was irresistible: French bread is layered with country ham, béchamel sauce and dijon mustard, all dripping with piping hot Comté cheese. The taste? Impeccable! It’s creamy, chewy, salty and tangy-sweet from the mustard and all-around decadent. Add to the ecstasy by ordering your sandwich with housemade chips.

Also very good was the Smoked Brisket ($12), a generous sandwich of fat-laced beef (in a good way) and melted Comté cheese on chewy ciabatta bread. The accompanying chips are, again, delicious.

The Quinoa Wrap ($9.50) is a tasty option for vegetarians, with mild flavors and nice textures. The Whole Wheat Wrap is fresh and stuffed with quinoa, black beans and firm cubes of sweet potato.

Interest is provided by a citron-curry spread and cilantro. The flatbreads ($9.50 to $11.50) have some nice toppings, but I wasn’t crazy about the crust. It lacked the delicate flavor and texture of artisan crust, seeming more prefab.

You can expect desserts to reign here and to be crafted around chocolate. Our Classic Cococcino ($9) came beautifully presented in a coffee cup as very dense molten chocolate cake. Double Chocolate Bread Pudding ($9) was white bread pudding marbled with elegant ribbons of dark chocolate and drizzled with melted dark chocolate. A scoop of peanut butter ice cream was melting on top. You can’t go wrong with the cookies, including the crisp chocolate chunk and the chocolate biscotti, which also is dipped in chocolate and had excellent texture.

I N T H E S P OT L I G H T

BY JULIA M. JOHNSON

IF YOU NORMALLY THINK OF NEW YORK OR CHICAGO as the best places for theater actors to earn their chops, think again! St. Louis is a thriving home for thespians who tread the boards professionally. We spoke with a few successful local actors who say here, it is uniquely possible to gain notoriety in their field and have a fulfilling personal life.

Alabama native Gary Glasgow advances the profession of acting by Y both living it and teaching it locally. He G ASRGO W A GL has nearly 40 productions at The Muny under his belt and has appeared at The New Jewish Theatre, Variety Children’s Theatre, Shakespeare Festival St. Louis and other venues. To help future thespians keep the torch lit, he teaches classes at the Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Webster University.

“St. Louis theatergoers are so welcoming and gracious,” he says. “You’ll find very democratic audiences at places like The Muny and Shakespeare Festival. The free seats allow actors to perform for a great crosssection of people and really give something back to the community. I don’t think you often find that in other cities.” Glasgow says there is plenty of competition for good stage roles, but the odds of landing them are more favorable in St. Louis. “It’s not like New York or Chicago, where there may be several hundred people auditioning for one spot,” he notes. He recently appeared in The Muny’s production of Newsies, and enjoys playing “niche characters with some sparkle to them,” like rogues in Shakespearean tales.

Glasgow says St. Louis is an ideal place for actors of all ages to receive training. “Webster and Washington universities have very good study programs, COCA has classes for adults, and The Muny has programs for kids and teens. It makes them great advocates for the arts whether they go on to acting careers or not.” He advises aspiring local performers to be as well-rounded as possible by studying voice and dance as well as acting. “You never know when you’ll be called on to waltz on stage,” he says.

“The more skills you learn, the more opportunities you’ll have. You want as big of a toolbox as you can get, and St. Louis is a great place to build it.”

Amy Loui returned recently from a trip to England and was A MUYI inspired by the commitment of LO theater audiences there. “People in London view the stage in the same way Americans get attached to sports,” she says. “Everyone gets together before and after a performance, and they debate it and get passionate about it. That kind of audience, I think, is something we’re trying to develop here in St. Louis.”

Loui is contributing to that effort by appearing in a variety of local roles, from Shakespeare to modern drama and comedy, hoping to appeal to audiences of all ages. “There’s an enormous amount of great theater going on in St. Louis,” she notes. “There are wonderful shows at places like The Rep, Fox Theatre and The Muny.

But there also are a number of really good small theaters drawing people in.” She recently appeared in the lead role of Vera for The New Jewish Theatre’s production of 4,000 Miles. During her off-stage hours, she runs her own event production company.

Loui says she is in awe of the quality of local theater talent. “The people who act here and make it their home could work anywhere, but they choose to stay because of family or cost of living,” she says. She also is thankful that many companies like The Rep have placed more focus on area talent in recent years. Loui mentions Kari Ely as an example of an actor who has achieved significant fame locally. “Kari is the wonder girl of Stages St. Louis,” she says.

“Audiences come to see whatever she is in—not just because she’s so good, but because she’s one of us.”

Leah Berry grew up in Festus and spent time honing her craft AH L ER in New York. She returned to the Y BE R Show-Me state when her husband took a job here in 2009. “As someone who really wanted to ‘break away’ from home, I had a hard time coming to terms with returning,” she notes. “But then I realized the passion St. Louisans have for theater. I really admire their spirit and enthusiasm. St. Louis may not be a major hub, but there are many talented people here who love to create and tell stories.”

Berry has appeared in a variety of productions, many of them musical, at Stages St. Louis, The Muny, The New Jewish Theatre and other area venues.

“For young actors, this is a great place to learn and grow,” she says.

“There are so many opportunities to work with other professionals who have figured out a great balance between their art and their personal lives.

Part of the charm of this area is that it’s affordable to live here, so you can have an acting career and a full life outside of it.” Berry loves working with kids at Variety Children’s Theatre and is set to play the lead role of Nellie Forbush in Stages’ fall production of South Pacific.

When she’s not under the lights, she enjoys doing radio commercials and other voice projects for clients like Schnuck Markets and Eckert’s Farms. She also works with Washington University medical students as part of a role-playing training program. She and other actors pose as patients with various conditions, and students are evaluated on their compassion and knowledge while working with them. “I love doing it because it draws on my acting experience and makes me better,” Berry says. “I always go home feeling inspired.”

U.S. September is National Bourbon Heritage Month, so why not celebrate? In just a few days’ time, you can experience the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, a great way to become engulfed in the spirit’s culture, history and products firsthand. While there are many great distilleries in the U.S., Kentucky is the perfect place to start. It has more barrels of aging bourbon than it does people!

It’s best to have a plan when you go, and don’t forget to pick up your Kentucky Bourbon Trail Passport to get a stamp at each destination. There’s Maker’s Mark, Heaven Hill, Four Roses, Wild Turkey, and plenty of smaller distilleries along the way. And each tour is different from the next. With a few distilleries dating back to pre-Prohibition, the history and culture at each are unique. Jimmy Russell has been the master distiller at Wild Turkey for more than 60 years. He is often around to take pictures with guests and sign their bourbon bottles. You can dip your own bottle in the famous red wax at Maker’s Mark, or take in beautiful Spanish architecture dating back to the early 1900s at Four Roses. End each tour with a tasting and chocolate bourbon ball, and repeat!

Although Kentucky is probably the most well-known bourbonproducing region thanks to its limestone-rich water and changing seasons, the spirit can be made anywhere following a strict set of laws. The main ones state that it must be made in the U.S., contain at least 51 percent corn in mash bill, and be aged in new, charred oak barrels (where it gets its flavor). No color or flavor can be added.

If you are new to bourbon, start with a lower proof. Basil Hayden’s is a great option at 80 proof. A classic Old Fashioned is the perfect way to enjoy the American spirit. Happy September!

THE WORDS ‘BACK TO SCHOOL’ CAN CREATE EITHER PURE EXCITEMENT OR COMPLETE ANXIETY for parents, teachers and students alike. While many view it as a time to be social and learn something new, returning to class can present issues for students faced with learning disorders, conflict resolution problems, or boredom with what they already know. Experts weigh in on how to make each day productive and beneficial.

CONFLICT "Conflict is part of life that only grows as you age," says Val Hubbard, school counselor at Central Christian School in Clayton. Children and teens may seem more conflicted than adults because they can get offended easily and don't always have the skills to resolve issues, she notes. "They are more aware of conflict, but they can't figure out how to communicate what they're feeling,” Hubbard says.

Laura Drake, a second-grade teacher at Central Christian, says, "I see a lot of my students getting annoyed with each other over what seem like petty things—He's poking me! He's in my space! It seems like bickering, but they really are saying that they don't understand each other emotionally.”

GROWING PROBLEMS “As children develop, their problems become more complex," says Hayley Arnold, school counselor for the Ladue School District. “In kindergarten, a child may have difficulty sharing a toy. As children enter upper elementary school, hormones make it difficult for them to manage their emotions. They start craving peer approval. Middle school students desperately want to fit in with a peer group."

Social media outlets offer a new way of relating to people that adults struggle with, too, says Erin Schulte, coordinator of counseling, guidance and character education for the Parkway School District. “Many experts say social media's anonymity makes it easier to say something online than face to face,” she says. “And it amplifies conflicts because there may be a large audience."

HOME SCHOOL Children may base their views on conflict resolution on what they experience at home.

“Some parents want their children to see how they work through mild disagreements, but many never argue in front of their children,” Hubbard says. “Children who have never seen an adult in a conflicting situation might freeze up when experiencing one themselves.

They lack competence and understanding to get through it."

But those who witness too many unresolved explosions at home also may be unequipped for life at school, Hubbard adds. "Children who are overly exposed to conflict that is not resolved in a healthy way can become very aggressive,” she notes.

PART OF THE CURRICULUM "The goal is not to prevent conflicts, but to help children handle them appropriately," Arnold says. "Conflict can be a favorable experience that develops relationships and creates positive change. An important part of learning is understanding that it is OK to have differences.”

Schulte says Parkway staff members are deeply devoted to character education.

“We want our students to get to know each other,” she says. “It is a lot harder to talk badly about someone or fight with them if you've worked on a project together.”

Hubbard adds, "We teach our children that they are individual parts of a collective unit. We want to create a safe environment where they can learn about differences in each other and respect boundaries."

A teachable moment may arise when an issue does advance to the point of conflict, Drake says. "When I see kids struggling, I pull them aside to a private area so they can talk through it and try to understand each other." More stern measures may be required when physical violence or bullying occurs, Schulte notes. "We are not going to put a victim in the same room as a bully. Discipline may need to come into play, but kids are human and make mistakes.”

ASPERGER SYNDROME Austrian pediatrician Dr. Hans Asperger published his landmark paper Autistic Psychopaths in Childhood in 1944, detailing his research on autistic symptoms. But it wasn't until after his death in 1980 that his publications and ideas experienced a resurgence in the medical community. Since then, a range of diagnoses have been recognized as autism spectrum disorders, one named for him. While we now are well aware of Asperger syndrome, doctors still don't know the cause of this disorder.

EARLY SIGNALS "Most of these kids are intelligent and actually gifted,” says Dr. Rolanda Maxim-Gott, a SLUCare pediatrician who is director of developmental pediatrics at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and the Knights of Columbus Child Development Center at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. “Their early language development is normal, but after age 3, they don't use language to interact with people. They can't have conversations or develop friendships."

Children with Asperger's may fixate on a special interest. "They have a passion about a particular hobby, but when you take them away from that, they can't do other activities in school," Maxim-Gott says. "They don't know how to function within the norms of daily living, which involves communication and socialization. And because they are so inflexible and anxious, they have a hard time getting jobs and transitioning into independent, adult life."

WAS WISSEN WIR? "What do we know?" Dr. Asperger might ask. For one thing, his syndrome recently ceased to be classified as an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association.

"This is confusing for parents,” says David Kaufman, Ph.D., a clinical neuropsychologist and director of Gateway Neuropsychology in Creve Coeur. “It used to be viewed as a disorder that was clearly different from autism. Children with Asperger's would show a number of the same problems but not at the same degree of severity. Now it is viewed as being on the higher functioning end of the autism spectrum.”

Little is known about causes, Maxim-Gott says. "We think babies have a genetic predisposition that is triggered by something in the environment before they are born,” she explains. “We know things are happening with brain function, but there is no clear-cut knowledge of what is going on." Research, however, has turned up a clue. "Eye-tracking studies have found that babies between 6 and 12 months normally look at your eyes when you talk to them,” she says. “If they have autism, they tend to look at your mouth."

While the number of children diagnosed with Asperger's and autism spectrum disorders has been increasing for decades, some of that is attributed to greater awareness and screening. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention places the rate of autism spectrum disorders at one in 68 live births. The incidence of Asperger's may be one in 250, with a slightly higher number of boys diagnosed.

WHAT TO DO Many children occasionally exhibit some signs of Asperger's, Kaufman says. “Parents should keep an eye out but have an open mind. Unusual patterns of speech or movement are normal to a certain degree. If a kid is really interested in one thing, it could be completely healthy.”

If there is cause to diagnose the disorder, there are a number of components to consider. "There often is a need for speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy to teach gestures, actions and writing—things that may not come naturally to the child,” Kaufman says. “They may need help developing social skills and learning how to be flexible when things don't go their way. They have a great tendency to latch on to objects and routines."

Asperger's individuals also should be screened for other psychiatric diagnoses, Maxim-Gott says.

"Many times they have a high risk for ADHD, anxiety and depression." Ultimately, she says, "The goal is for us to identify a real strength in them, their gift. But we also work on their independence skills. They can be mainstreamed into regular education and be very successful.”

THE GOAL IS ... FOR US TO IDENTIFY A REAL STRENGTH IN THEM, THEIR GIFT.

HAMSA SUBRAMANIAN, M.D. 555 North New Ballas, Suite 215 Creve Coeur, MO 63141 (corner of New Ballas and Old Ballas)

GIFTED STUDENTS It's only in fictional Lake Wobegon that “all the children are above average.” In the real world, even though most parents consider their children exceptional, only a few kids truly can be labeled as gifted.

314-872-3104

DON’T LET ALLERGIES CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE

THE REAL TEST According to the National Association for Gifted Children, “It is difficult to estimate the absolute number of gifted children because the calculation is dependent on the number of areas, or domains, being measured and the method used to identify gifted children.” It states that many consider gifted children to be those in the top 10 percent of ‘normal’ standards.

Parents who discover that they do, in fact, have a gifted child may be in for a surprise, says Susan Jesse, a teacher and executive director of the Gifted Resource Council. "A lot of parents have the misconception that it will be easy to raise a gifted child, but it can be very challenging.”

Every child should be screened around age 4 at school or by a private screener, Jesse says. “The test looks at general mental ability, academic ability, creativity, reasoning and problem-solving ability.”

The first indications of giftedness may be conversational skills and wit, she notes. “The conversations gifted children have at a very young age are at an extremely high level. They understand humor well.”

A kid who is identified as gifted should be considered a special needs child, says Dennis O'Brien, a licensed clinical social worker and consultant for the Gifted Resource Council. Unfortunately, he notes, many public school districts don't have gifted enrichment programs, or they serve very few gifted students.

“A number of studies say gifted children actually are an at-risk population for underachieving and dropping out," O'Brien says. "One of the pitfalls is focusing more on perfectionism than academics. Kids don't know how to keep hammering away when things don't come easy.”

Parents might unwittingly stifle gifted children by allowing them to concentrate solely on special interests and withdraw from peers.

"Parents and teachers can maximize children’s potential by getting them outside the academic box," he says. "Let them think creatively and take risks. Make them play team sports. We encourage parents to get kids doing activities where they won't be the best, where they have to fail. Those are skills that are more important than IQ." Teachers are encouraged to consider gifted children's quicker pace of learning to keep them interested. "Teachers should evaluate what they already know and let them learn something new,” Jesse says.

OFF SCREEN Many kids these days spend their time on various electronic devices, and gifted kids are not immune. "Parents might think it's wonderful that their 3-year-old is on the computer, but various studies and the American Academy of Pediatrics suggest that is not healthy,” O'Brien says. “Parents need to be vigilant about screen time. Kids are at risk until the age of 21 because their brains are still forming.”

Gifted children may be at an even higher risk of getting lost in electronic devices, Jesse notes. “They have higher sensitivity, so once they are hooked, they want to get to the highest level possible.”

DARKER COLORS, BOLDER PALETTES—that’s what fall means in the

beauty world. The subtle look of bare eyes and nude lips is still around, but in general, eyes, lips and cheeks require more intensity to compensate for fading tans. And this season also brings an emphasis on more natural products. If you haven’t already, you’ll start noticing terms like ‘mineral

makeup’ and ‘5-free formula,’ which means a cosmetic product without five particular undesirable ingredients (like formaldehyde). It’s time to play around with your favorite shades (berry in all varieties is hot!) and give the brows some TLC, as they frame the face. But most of all, just have fun with fall!

COVER STORY

ABOVE THE REST] LAURA MCCARTHY REAL ESTATE by stephanie wallace

WHEN MOST PEOPLE THINK OF LUXURY HOUSING, they likely picture sprawling

homes set on large, landscaped grounds. But Laura McCarthy Real Estate, serving the St. Louis community since 1944, knows that to find the pinnacle of luxe living, sometimes you need to look up. The company’s more than 100 agents have expert knowledge of high-rise and condo properties along the central corridor that meet their clients’ needs for ‘the good life.’ “St. Louis luxury buyers want three things: the best in space, location and views,” agent Joan Schnoebelen says.

Schnoebelen and her real estate partner and daughter, Megan Schnoebelen Rowe, are handling Laura McCarthy’s listing at 150 Carondelet Plaza, No. 2801, a luxury penthouse at the Plaza in Clayton. A location like this offers numerous perks, Schnoebelen points out. “There’s a 24-hour front desk attendant, full-time valet and concierge services, a dog-walking area, and a terraced swimming pool,” she says.

“There also are lovely landscaped gardens for walking and a gorgeous club room residents can use for private events.” As the only entire-floor unit in the building, the penthouse has its own enticing amenities, including three elevators; two are private and open into a custom, cherry-paneled vestibule featuring Breccia Pernice Rossa marble floors.

The most striking benefit of high-rise living, however, is undoubtedly the views, and No. 2801 is no exception. “The vista is truly exceptional,” Schnoebelen says. “It is breathtaking. You can see St. Louis at its finest.” The penthouse’s four 700-square-foot

THE LIVING ROOM OF 150 CARONDELET PLAZA, NO. 2801

terraces offer a panoramic view of Clayton and downtown St. Louis. “The views truly distinguish it from any other property in St. Louis,” she notes. “The living room faces east and has a gorgeous view of the Arch.”

Such views make the room perfect for entertaining. “It is graciously divided into three spaces—a formal sitting room, music room and game room—making it perfect for small gatherings or a large event,” Schnoebelen says. It features antique Russian pine paneling, walnut herringbone floors and hand-carved clamshell display shelves.

“Everything is custom and one of a kind,” she says. “The hand-carved wood paneling, moldings and bespoke fitted bookcases were crafted and installed by Hallidays of London using the finest natural timbers.”

Schnoebelen’s favorite space is the master suite. “It is a serene escape,” she explains.

The room includes a large seating area with floor-to-ceiling, built-in bookshelves and opens onto a north-facing terrace. “It is the perfect place for a cup of coffee in the morning. It floats above Clayton with those amazing views,” she says.

Schnoebelen says the penthouse has everything luxury buyers want: stylish spaces that offer good flow for both entertaining and everyday living.

Founder and CEO Jill Butler says RedKey Realty Leaders understands its success is closely tied to employees’ happiness. “We do everything we can to keep work enjoyable,” she says. “Our motto is ‘Love, service and fun.’ We spend so much of our lives at work that we should be able to have a good time while there.”

RedKey was launched from a hotel suite in 2012 before moving to its office in Frontenac. The company quickly grew into additional space in the building and later opened a Chesterfield location. Butler says she hopes to open a third office soon.

She was the only agent in the beginning, but now the company employs about 170 agents. “The early days were fun,” she says. “We would meet clients at the hotel restaurant, and other real estate industry people would stop by our suite. It had a bar, so realtors and hotel guests would show up for drinks. They were all rooting for us.”

Butler invested in a company limousine that ferries employees to birthday lunches and takes clients to closing appointments. Staff members receive ‘fun money’ for their birthdays, and retreats keep employees centered.

The staff enjoys hiking outings and volunteer projects as well. Butler says, “We think it’s possible to have fun and be of service to others. That’s definitely been a big part of our growth.”

☛ GLADYS MANION

REAL ESTATE

Stafford Manion, owner and president of Clayton-based Gladys Manion Real Estate, is the grandson of its founder and namesake, and enjoys keeping her memory alive. Manion says resilience and a positive attitude have kept the firm open for more than 80 years, even through difficult periods.

“We had never experienced anything like the market challenges from 2008 to 2010,” he says. “I went two or three years without earning anything

myself. But we kept advertising and charging forward, and we stayed afloat. I did not want the company to go under on my watch.”

Manion says he learned a great deal about perseverance from his tenacious grandmother. She launched the company in 1936 at a time when real estate firms employed few females.

“Gladys wasn’t a hard woman, but she was a driven one,” he recalls. “To start a business like this during the Great Depression took guts.”

Gladys ran the firm until 1960, when she passed the torch to her son James, who turned the company over to Stafford in 1987. “There were about three agents when my grandmother was in charge, but now we have a management team and 40 agents,” Manion says. “Other firms have tried to buy us, but I like to think Gladys is looking down and feeling proud of the fact that the family company is still here.”

☛ LAURA McCARTHY

REAL ESTATE

This Clayton-based firm is yet another founded by an entrepreneurial woman, says president Kathy Beilein.

“Laura McCarthy started it in the early 1940s, and news articles at the time talked about the barriers she was breaking,” she notes. “It really was a new standard of achievement.” When McCarthy moved to Florida, she opened another office there and later sold the

company to a group of agents. “One of them, Harriet Strickler, ran it until 1970 before selling it to agent Margaret Ryan,” Beilein explains. “Her son Tom grew it from 20 agents to the 100 agents we have today.”

She says Tom Ryan’s innovative leadership helped convince her to join the firm in 1981. “He was doing groundbreaking things, using demographic data to boost sales, comparing industry data to previous years, and producing reports that showed the best times to put clients’ homes up for sale,” she explains.

Beilein says the commitment to having informed agents and consumers continues today. “Recently, we retooled our office,” she says. “We realized our agents needed a collaborative space and better technology. So we took down some walls and started over.” She says the office went from “a sea of desks and paper” to a modern environment with efficient workstations, big tables and seating areas. “You want your workspace to be one that actually works,” Beilein notes. “We try to give our agents what they need before they know they need it, so they can do the same for our clients.”

☛ BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY

HOMESERVICES SELECT PROPERTIES President and CEO Maryann Vitale Alles says her company has found St. Louis an ideal place to put down roots. It opened here in 2002 and grew quickly, buying a Prudential firm and transitioning from that brand to the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties name.

“The industry really changed when information went online and became mobile,” Alles says. “During the big market downturn, we had several thousand square feet of office space, but not many people were coming in. They could do everything from home. We joked to clients, ‘Just come in your pajamas, we don’t mind!’”

The company’s leadership realized

that streamlining its brick-andmortar presence made sense, and they consolidated from 12 metro area offices into nine.

Alles says Berkshire Select is a big booster of important causes, raising more than $700,000 to date for Sunshine Kids, a nonprofit that helps young cancer patients. And she says employees are treated like family, which helps ensure the company’s future growth. She is particularly proud of its Leadership Bench, which develops new branch heads from within.

“We have 575 agents and 50 administrative staff, and I believe in knowing them all,” Alles says.

☛ JANET McAFEE

REAL ESTATE

Janet Horlacher, principal and daughter of founder Janet McAfee Weakley, says her firm is excited to be celebrating its 42nd anniversary this year. Weakley launched the company in 1975 after the real estate business she was working for suddenly closed.

“With a loan from her dad, my mother started Janet McAfee Real Estate in the basement of our home and eventually moved to an office in Clayton,” Horlacher says. Now based in Ladue, the firm is “centrally located for the clients we serve,” she notes. It counts about 85 full-time agents and 60 others who want to stay involved in the business.

She says mergers have helped the company spread its wings in St. Louis. In 2008, she and president Ted Thornhill made the move to absorb Edward L. Bakewell Realtors, a 90-year-old firm headed by Sarah Bakewell. “Sarah’s company was a family firm as well, so it was a natural fit for us,” Horlacher says.

The agency also merged with St. Albans Realty about three years ago.

Looking to the future, they recently launched a new ‘e-lead’ platform that uses cutting-edge mobile and wireless technology, software and social media to generate sales. “More than 98 percent of homeowners and buyers look online for real estate information,” Horlacher says.

TWEAKING TRADITIONAL B Y S T E P H A N I E WA L L A C E PHOTOS BY SUZY GORMAN

Designing and building a home from the ground up is something many dream of doing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to put your mark on every space and implement your ideas for how you want to live. One Clayton resident was able to use his home building experience and passion for design to create a dream home for himself and his partner. The result is a beautiful, traditional home with a few dramatic and modern twists.

Q | Are you a St. Louis native?

A | No, I’m originally from Waterloo, Illinois. I’ve always been passionate about decorating, painting and design and had a decorating and design business in Illinois. I moved to St. Louis because I met my partner and we set up house together.

Q | What attracted you to the Clayton area?

A | We really liked the community—wonderful restaurants and entertainment. It’s close to Washington and Fontbonne universities, and the schools are great.

Q | What made you decide to build?

A | It was a ground-up build, and I was the general contractor.

Our previous house in Clayton was built in 1929, and we were there for 13 years. I had built new homes before, and I wanted to do one for us.

Q | What was important for you to include in the house?

A | An entertainment area. The carriage house has a recreational area that seats 22 people, as well as a full kitchen and bath. It’s a self-contained space that also could work as a mother-in-law suite. We also put in a geothermal heating and cooling system to be energy efficient. We oversaw everything ourselves to make sure high-quality materials were used.

Q | The decor of the house has a fairly neutral palette that is striking against the green landscaping and bright blue accents outdoors. Did you plan this contrast?

A | I like to use blue outside because it really pops, especially against neutral colors. The phlox on the side of the house also pop when they are in bloom. We wanted the interior to be a little more toned down. We had a traditional house before, and we wanted to reflect that here. But we kept modern features as well, like in the great room, and mixed in classic touches throughout the house. When designing the house, we took our plans to an architect and then tweaked them. We wanted people to think the home had been in the area for years, despite being only 4 years old.

Q | What is your favorite room?

A | The hearth room or the master bedroom. For the hearth room, we looked at a lot of different homes for ideas and incorporated the features we liked. There are panels that open on the back wall that hide the TV and storage space.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty artistic, so the crown molding and painting were done under my supervision and design. My partner's favorite room is probably his office.

Q | I noticed some very striking art. Any interesting stories or favorite pieces?

A | Some of the artwork came from my partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. A lot was picked out just for its certain space. The piece in the hearth room and the black and white painting in the dining room were purchased, but quite a bit came from family.

HOMEWORK]

DEAR HOMEWORK,

As you can see, our home is more than a little plain. And it’s located on a street with Queen Anne and Craftsman-style homes that are bigger and have more architectural details than ours, which makes it look even less charming. How can I improve things without rebuilding?

Sincerely, —FEELING LIKE A WALLFLOWER

DEAR FEELING LIKE A WALLFLOWER,

The size, proportions and materials of your home are so different from those of your neighbors that I think it would make sense not to mimic their architecture, and instead employ a modest Colonial cottage vibe. I also think we need to address the fundamental aesthetic problem of the front-facing, two-car garage door and driveway, which don’t help the presentation.

To begin with, I would like to add vertical board-and-batten siding detail to the second floor and divide it from the lower clapboard with a white band. This adds interest without structural changes. A front porch with copper roof is the other big change, helping to balance the importance of the front door with that of the garage door.

These changes are supported by new window flower boxes, an arched garage door surround and a more detailed garage door. Since the existing colors work well with the roof shingles, I have kept them in the new scheme.

Perhaps the biggest change is the landscape. The goal is to give new prominence to the garden by the driveway. By creating a new stone walkway centered with the entry porch and planting a somewhat formal garden around it, this half of the yard now has far more impact, which completely changes the perception of the property. In addition, the tall ornamental grass bordering the driveway helps screen large vehicles parked there, which improves the garage/driveway issue.

Hopefully the wallflower is now ready to dance.
