from the editor's desk ‘The library’ is a place I’ll bet most people take entirely for granted. But when you think about all it does for us, it’s time to give the place a little love. Not only can you access your favorite books, ebooks and DVDs (at no charge), but you can go there to read everything from today’s paper to the latest issues of Real Simple and New Beauty. You can learn another language by borrowing audiotapes, or pick up large-print books for grandparents. You can take kids there for storytime and to have fun in their very own kid-friendly areas, as mentioned in today’s Talk of the Towns.

But maybe most compelling is what the library says about us. The notion of offering free reading material to all citizens was revolutionary way back in 1790—that’s when Benjamin Franklin (a revolutionary himself) donated 116 books to a Massachusetts town named for him, launching the first public library in the U.S. Before then, books were limited mostly to ecclesiastics and the nobility.

At its core, the public library is an expression of democracy. It encourages everyone to better themselves through knowledge, and recognizes that as a basic human right. Andrew Carnegie, himself self-taught, funded nearly half the American public libraries by 1930. He wanted to “bring books and information to all people.” The library stands as a reminder that, not too long ago, it was widely held by the powers of the time that a little learning is a dangerous thing. The public library embraces a totally different concept: The mind is a terrible thing to waste.

THE[IN]SIDER

PATTY d e h s a e unl

BY PATTY HANNUM

I LEARNED I WAS ALLERGIC TO BEES by

stepping on one in my backyard when I was a teenager. My sister, Teresa, and I watched in horror as my foot doubled in size and I started having trouble breathing. This of course was before the days of cell phones, so she took me to the old St. Louis County Hospital just in case something was wrong.

They gave me a shot of epinephrine, which stopped the reaction. When asked how I got stung, my sister told the doctors I was a beekeeper in the middle of collecting honey. Yes, even in the face of near death she had to be a smart aleck.

Once my mom arrived, they explained that my career as a beekeeper was over. The result was that I spent years getting allergy shots trying to build up my defense against bees and wasps. Now I just carry an epi pen with me, which seems to act like some sort of shield—you know, like carrying an umbrella wards off rain. I haven’t been stung in years. So why is any of this relevant, other than my need to overshare? Well, I’d always treated the epi pen as an unnecessary annoyance. But then I got an attitude adjustment when I met Ally Kalishman, age 13.

I know Ally’s mom, Amy, from volunteering, and I knew her daughter had food allergies. Like many people, I secretly (and sometimes not so secretly) thought food allergies were often overblown. OK, as I typed that I realized how awful it sounds. But I am admitting it now: I never truly realized how deadly food allergies can be.

Ally is allergic to eggs, dairy, tree nuts and shellfish. She can’t even ingest a trace of it without getting a reaction. And when she reacts, it isn’t like my bee sting reaction with my sister casually driving to the hospital while making fun of my evergrowing foot. She needs immediate attention, which means Ally needs to be hypervigilant about what she eats. But Ally is 13 years old and she doesn’t live in a bubble, so imagine how hard her day-to-day life can be. Instead of taking the ‘poor me’ approach to her allergy challenges, Ally has mobilized to bring awareness to the issue.

The Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) is holding a walk in Tilles Park Sept. 16 to raise awareness and critical funds. Its mission is to create a safer environment in which kids and adults can better manage food allergies. And Ally is responsible for getting the word out about this year’s walk. So, since I have been an insensitive ignoramus about food allergies, demanding my right to peanuts and peanut butter, I thought the least I could do is mention the upcoming walk. Take a look at foodallergywalk. org/stlouis2016. Last year, the walk raised about $25,000, $7,000 of it through Ally’s friends and family. Ally is only heading into eighth grade, but she is already making a difference. Not to make you feel bad or anything.

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

The YWCA has named its 2016 LEADERS OF DISTINCTION, chosen based on their contributions to improving the lives of everyday St. Louisans. Hats off to: Maureen Borkowski of Ameren Transmission Co., Susan Stith of Express Scripts, Jackie Yoon of Bank of America, Tamiko Armstead of Cardinal Ritter College Prep, Evelyn Rice-Peebles of the City of St. Louis, Dr. Ghazala Hayat of SLU Medical School, Toni Kutchan of Danforth Plant Science Center, philanthropist Thelma Steward and Rebecca Hatter of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

You go, girls! Local women scored big in the recent Ms. Missouri Senior America pageant. ANN LEATH of Chesterfield was first runner-up and LINDA TIEDT of Bridgeton was second runner-up. PEGGY LEE BRENNAN of Branson was crowned queen.

They may not be the most beautiful birds, but even vultures have cute babies! The Saint Louis Zoo has seen a baby boom this season, including a king vulture chick named AGNES born a few months ago. She was sired by the oldest male in the zoo (age 45!), and her birth marks the first time in 15 years that king vultures have had chicks in two consecutive years.

Happy 9-0 to patriarch ANTHONY SANSONE, founder of the commercial real estate company, Sansone Group. The nonagenarian, who has eight children, 42 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, still goes into the office regularly, where he was feted recently in honor of his big day.

by alexa beattie IT MAY LOOK STABLE—A NICE HOUSE, a tidy lawn, good schools for the kids, good jobs—but

no family is immune from life’s twists. Things go wrong; the unexpected happens—a death or diagnosis, addiction or divorce, and the downward spiral can start quite easily. For affluent families, a stock market crash can mean disaster; for low-income families, something as simple as a broken water heater can wreak havoc—a child goes to school with dirty clothes; bullying, shame or truancy ensue; the parent has to work overtime and is not at home to supervise. This is how a ‘simple’ problem can be anything but.

That’s where Great Circle comes in. The nonprofit addresses this ‘domino effect’ through its focus on building family strength and stopping problems before they start. Founded on the concept that when families are stronger so are communities, Great Circle provides comprehensive services to shore up households facing challenges and stop the snowball of hardship. The organization’s emphasis is on behavioral health (social and emotional issues) and it is one of the largest providers in our state. Missouri is home to 65,000 children with mental health conditions, and one in 10 preschoolers is expelled because of them. Last year, the nonprofit touched the lives of 27,000 individuals. Families are referred to Great Circle by social services, health centers, schools, courts and other organizations.

“Trauma and stress can cause a family suddenly to be in crisis, not knowing where to turn or what to do,” explains Vince Hillyer, Great Circle president and CEO. “Unfortunately, our world is becoming increasingly more stressful. For our children and young adults, the impact of 24/7 news coverage creates not only a sense of fear, but it also leaves them feeling less safe and less trusting.”

Hillyer says studies show that people don’t seek help unless it is easily accessible, but Great Circle’s network of 18 sites across the state ensures that assistance is never very far away. Either the organization helps directly, or it connects families to other behavioral health resources in the community. And sometimes, help goes directly to the home: A program called Intensive InHome Services is designed to keep families together safely and address any obstacles, whether it be behavior issues in a child, the unemployment of a parent or other stressful situations. This program has crisis-intervention specialists spending 20 hours per week in the home for a period of four to six weeks, living and breathing the family life and taking inventory of problem areas. “We encourage families not to wait until the stress or trauma has reached a crisis level, but to reach out as soon as they can. We can do our best work when Great Circle is a first step, not a last resort,” Hillyer says.

Among other services, Great Circle also provides 24-hour residential treatment, an emergency shelter, parenting support and therapeutic foster care. Because of an upswing in addiction in all levels of society, there are plans to add a substance abuse program.

Hillyer says all these programs are made possible through donations, grants, fundraisers and sliding-scale fees and on Nov. 12, the nonprofit hosts its biggest annual event, Starry Starry Night.

The evening includes cocktails, dinner, auction and live entertainment, and takes place at Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. “Events like these help us be even better in helping our clients and families become stronger and capable into the future,” Hillyer says.

—IF ONLY I COULD TURN BACK TIME

A: You’re not alone in this situation. And, the good news is: There

are a number of companies rehiring former employees who left in good standing. Assuming that is the case, I would begin by testing the waters and setting up a meeting with your former colleague to have a frank conversation and discuss next steps. My sense is that during your 10-year employment, your company invested time and money into training you and when you left, your departure may have stung a few executives. So just wanting to come back is not enough. You need to have a vision for why you want to come back. You also need to be able to articulate that vision and how it will serve the company. That said, know why you made the decision to leave the company in the first place. If you were displeased with the management team, the pay or the freedom to creatively address your goals and objectives—these issues may still exist.

So when you’re having a conversation with your former colleague and/or employer, find out what if anything has changed to ensure you’re making a good decision for your next career move.

children are learning to speak, individuals with physical disabilities are becoming strong, and people with emotional issues are starting to trust. TREE House of Greater St. Louis, founded in 1975 as Therapeutic Horsemanship, is one of the oldest and most respected therapeutic riding centers in the United States. With a team of occupational, physical and speech therapists, volunteers and 25 horses, it serves clients age 2 through adulthood who have physical, mental, emotional, social and learning difficulties. “We’ve been in business for 40 years, and we’ve seen success in 98 percent of our clients,” says Sandy Rafferty, occupational therapist and founder.

The TREE House treatment program, known as Equine-Assisted Therapy (or hippotherapy), uses a horse’s movement to treat people with physical challenges. “A horse’s typical walking gait exactly replicates a human’s: around, side-to-side, up-and-down,” Rafferty explains. This means that over time, a human body can learn to mimic correct movement, find balance and achieve flexibility and strength. All TREE House therapists are experts in equine-assisted therapy, suitable for disabilities like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis.

TREE stands for ‘Therapy,’ ‘Recreation,’ ‘Education’ and ‘Exploration.’ Among the services TREE House delivers is an Adaptive Therapeutic Riding Program that advances client-specific horsemanship skills and an Equine-Assisted Mental Health Program that uses interaction with horses to address emotional issues like depression, anxiety and stress. “If a person has poor selfesteem or detachment issues, the bond they develop with the horse is a huge source of joy and pride,” Rafferty explains, adding that she has heard nonverbal children speak their first words to a TREE House horse. The nonprofit’s equines undergo an intensive 30-day evaluation process and are selected for their gentle and cooperative natures, she says. All therapists are licensed within their professions, and all riding instructors are certified by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International.

Those qualities have made a world of difference to Lilly Opinsky, who has been riding at TREE House for 13 years. Lilly uses a wheelchair, is nonverbal and requires full-time assistance, but her father, Larry Opinsky, says seeing her on her horse is spectacular. “She controls her body and is proud and free.” Opinsky also applauds the emotional bond Lilly has formed with her horse. “The horse can sense my daughter, he understands her. They have a deep connection.” He adds that no other treatment he has sought for Lilly has come close to being as effective. “It’s remarkable.”

On Sep. 10, the nonprofit hosts its 14th Annual Charity Polo Match at McGehee Polo Field in Chesterfield. “What we do would not be possible without our many volunteers and donors,” says Nathan Harms, director of operations. “We are excited for our event and grateful for all the support.”

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

When does the Missouri History Museum not only look fabulous, but sound fabulous? During the Twilight Tuesdays concert series on the north lawn, of course. Speaking of history, you remember disco, don’t you? Some might say it never died. KSHE rockers and maybe a few others wonder when the hell it ever will. Love it or not, disco will be the main fare served up at 6 p.m. Aug. 30 during the first of six rockin’, poppin’, soul-stirring evenings of music as summer wanes into fall. First up: the Melvin Turnage Band plays a tribute to the disco era, turning the CWE into Funkytown! The sunsets in Forest Park will come earlier and earlier until the last set on the first Tuesday in October. Did we mention the performances are free?

No, we haven’t yet, but yes! They are. Follow-up acts are …

Sept. 6: Starlifter-The U.S. Air Force Band of Mid-America Sept. 13: First Call Band featuring Courtney Loveless Sept. 20: Gerald Warren’s Soul Steppers Revue Sept. 27: Queens Blvd.

Oct. 4: Fabulous Motown Revue First-come, first-served. But don’t wander in late to seek a spot on the grass for your fanny, as it’s discourteous.

(You wouldn’t want to get grass stains on your white Travolta-style suit.) So mark your calendar and come early. And why not? Early early birds can get their faces painted, or their kids can, starting at 5:30 p.m.

CHESTERFIELD

Visitors to the recently reopened (July 27) branch of the St. Louis County Library just won’t recognize the place. The new, improved, $3-million-and-change Samuel L. Sachs Branch in Chesterfield is perfect for flights of the imagination, which is what reading is supposed to be all about anyway, right? Updates include a complete overhaul of the interior space. New shelving, furniture and carpeting have been installed throughout, as well as a bright, new color palette. An oversized canopy leads into the new children’s area— which can be seen from any point in the branch. The enhanced children’s area also features browsing bins

that allow kids to select their own books, as well as special, oversized furniture for families to read and do activities together. Teens have a designated space, with computers and fun, funky furniture. (We’re not aware whether there are smart-phone chargers, but we sure hope not.) Three private study rooms have been added, as well as a new computer lab, quiet reading room, laptop bar, business center with fax, copy and scanning machines, and a vending area. A revamped community meeting room with a projector, sound system and white board is available. The branch is airy and welcoming and, dare we say, a more fulfilling place to hang out than (insert the name of your favorite coffee shop or café here).

The Clayton Fire Department is one of 53 agencies statewide that have become STARS for kids with special needs. For children with atypical health conditions, an everyday situation could turn into an emergency. Even worse, first responders may not know how best to approach caring for them when an emergency arises. What about a child on the autism spectrum? The department has implemented SSM Cardinal Glennon’s ‘Special needs Tracking & Awareness Response System’ (STARS), which was started by paramedics, is based at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, and serves dozens of children and their families in the metro by providing crucial information to EMS workers prior to an emergency. Children who most benefit from STARS may have a cardiac history, cerebral shunts, significant developmental delay, metabolic syndromes or seizure disorders, among other diseases or syndromes with which EMS workers may not be well-acquainted. These kids may be living at home with the help of specialized equipment. It’s not uncommon for EMS to be dispatched to the home of a child who has a ventilator, tracheotomy, or a rare diagnosis that even some emergency room physicians are unfamiliar with, says STARS program coordinator Patricia Casey. She notes that the program does more than simply provide a sheaf of papers for EMTs to study. It’s training-intensive. STARS personnel provide specialized education to first responders—in some cases, children and their families participate.

Weddings are not my usual beat, but we’re all suckers for a love story, right?

And this one is LOVE IN ALL CAPS! When pediatric flight nurse India Blevins and optometrist Eric Johnson got engaged, like most couples these days, they went online to register for wedding gifts. But the altruistic pair went beyond Bed, Bath and … to register with CrowdRise, a site where anyone with a cause can direct friends, family and good-karma seekers to donate to a charity of choice. Through the Creve Coeur office of World Pediatric Project, a nonprofit with a mission to save

critically ill children, India and Eric will help support Genesis, a baby girl from Honduras with a rare heart condition. She will be transported to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital soon for life-saving surgery, just a week or so after the couple’s Aug. 9 wedding. Why did Genesis’ plight touch them so deeply? Two years before Eric was born, his baby sister Kerri lived less than a week with the same life-threatening heart condition as Genesis, who is now 19 months old. The Maryville, Illinois, couple considered it a sign that this was their gift to both give and get. Friends and family raised $5,000 (and still can donate) so Genesis and her mother could come for a procedure unavailable in many parts of the world. WPP helps kids who are ‘poor’ with so many things we take for granted. Besides heroic surgeries, WPP helps provide clean drinking water, sanitary living conditions and access to basic medical care. To add perspective, Genesis’ father makes $1,500 a year cleaning trucks. Check out the WPP online, and you also may get a kick out of the tagline at CrowdRise: “If you don’t give back, no one will like you.” Let’s raise a glass of clean water to India and Eric … and their little charge, Genesis!

Hold the phone! But … which vintage?

Pink princess touch-tone? Stand-up dial in basic black, with the ‘cup’ earpiece on a hook? Pick your fave at the Jefferson Barracks Telephone Museum, a selfguided facility with many hands-on, how-things-work displays designed to stimulate an interest in engineering and history—and to inspire awe. Besides its extensive collection of telephones manufactured from the late 1880s through 2000s, the museum also features: Operator switchboards from the 1920s and 1960s Military telephones from WWI through the Vietnam War A telephone pole, complete with climbing equipment Hundreds of pieces of telephone-related memorabilia A variety of novelty telephones A sculpture of Alexander Graham Bell and … a delightful history of the invention of the telephone as in, ‘Come here, Watson. I need you.’ The museum building itself is a treat, an 1896 structure on the National Register of Historic Places within the 426-acre JB park, a mere 15-minute drive south of downtown St. Louis. The Telecom Pioneers, a nonprofit telephone company employee service organization, along with their families and friends, have spent upward of 66,500 hours (!) repairing and renovating the building. The museum is open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Admission is $5 for most patrons. Tours are available for groups of 10 or more. Now, we may never know who invented the irksome musical ‘hold’ feature, but we think you’ll agree there’s more to love than dislike about the telephone, which has been a game-changer for a century and more.

36th annual silver ball meet the chairs:

caregiver awards luncheon meet the chairs:

Cindy Marsh, chairperson Rachel Giffhorn, co-chairperson

Walter (Bud) Winzen, Co-chair Debra Winzen, Co-chair

Why is this nonprofit important to you?

Arthritis is a serious disease that affects quality of life. We gained a new perspective when our 4-year old niece was diagnosed. We have been so inspired by her struggles and are compelled to do what we can to prevent other families from experiencing similar pain and disruption in their lives. The energy and optimism that the Arthritis Foundation pours into helping patients is incredibly inspiring.

Event Goals:

The funds we raise will be used to continue the fight against arthritis, which is America’s No. 1 cause of disability. We hope to raise money to significantly aid the medical research to prevent and cure arthritis, which impacts 50 million Americans today and is estimated to impact one in four by the year 2030.

Why is this nonprofit important to you?

I personally have experienced the stress and confusion that comes with finding long-term care for a loved one. When transitioning my mother into a long-term care community, I wish I had known about VOYCE. VOYCE is a free resource for individuals and families who need help sorting through the various long-term care options in order to make the best decisions for their loved ones. VOYCE also advocates for those living in long-term care. – Cindy Marsh

Event Goals:

The Caregiver Awards Luncheon creates public awareness for VOYCE’s role in speaking up for quality long-term care. The luncheon honors the unsung heroes who are the front-line caregivers in long-term care. These champions are delivering quality, person-centered care while respecting the rights of those they assist.

MISSION STATEMENT The Arthritis Foundation is the ‘Champion of Yes’. We are focused on finding a cure and championing the fight against arthritis with life-changing information, advocacy, science and community.

LOCATION: City Cottage on Chouteau CONTACT INFO: Terri Stout, 314.692.1215 or tstout@edplus.org

Why is this nonprofit important to you?

Helping young students develop positive character traits such as cooperation, patience, honesty and integrity is one way to ensure they become responsible adults with empathy and compassion toward others. I was able to see character education at work among students, teachers and staff at Craig Elementary School.

During a recent visit, I observed that it was an environment where treating each other with kindness and respect was the norm, rather than the exception. – Trish Muyco-Tobin

How did you first get involved?

I served as a member of the executive advisory council of CharacterPlus representing AT&T in 2001. I saw the benefits of character education as a parent while my daughters attended Parkway schools. Character education in the classroom has been proven to improve academic performance.

It makes school a better place for students and educators, which improves the community as a whole. We must continue to provide our students with this kind of guidance so they do their best work and treat everyone with respect and care.

– Debra Hollingsworth

DEBRA HOLLINGSWORTH AND TRISH MUYCO-TOBIN

Event Goals:

The 2016 Sandy McDonnell Dedication to Character Award will be presented to Veronica McDonnell founder of Friends of CharacterPlus.

Why is this nonprofit important to you?

One in nine Americans are affected by kidney disease every year. My experience with family and friends who have suffered from this disease over the years has inspired me to raise awareness about a disease that doesn’t get as much attention as others. Chairing the NKF Gala is just a small way I can help. – Mikell Rush

Event Goals:

An astonishing 900,000 people in the St. Louis area are at risk for kidney disease due to high blood pressure, diabetes and family history. Another 300,000 are living with kidney disease, many of them unaware their kidneys are failing. Funds raised at the gala will help raise awareness, about the urgency and prevalence of kidney disease, and support preventive programs to stop its progression and incidence.

about the organization

MISSION STATEMENT: The National Kidney Foundation is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and families, and tens of millions of Americans at risk.

Why is this nonprofit important to you?

I believe in giving back to the community by helping those individuals who are less fortunate.

By improving the quality of life for children and families in our community, we will make St. Louis a better place to live. – Gregg Berdy

Event Goals:

This event is the greatest fine wine charity event in the region. My dream is to see this night continue to evolve as a way for those who appreciate wine culture to give back to their city. This is a cornerstone event for St. Louis. Not only is it an amazing night of food and wine, it’s a chance to profoundly affect the lives of thousands of families in need.

assistance league of st. louis

To identify, develop, implement and fund ongoing philanthropic programs that serve the specific needs of children and adults in the St. Louis community

MEET JAYNE FOLEY

by karyn meyer

OF CHESTERFIELD | VOLUNTEER

Q| HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A VOLUNTEER? A| Eight years Q| WHAT MADE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS PARTICULAR CAUSE? A| I was a nurse at St. Mary’s Health Center for 30 years and when I retired, one of my former colleagues who had retired the year before told me about Assistance League. She thought I would be interested because it offered lots of opportunities to help people, which is what I’m really passionate about. I became a member of the local chapter, which is part of the more than 100-year-old national organization of 121 chapters.

Q| WHAT KIND OF VOLUNTEER WORK ARE YOU INVOLVED WITH? A| Assistance League offers six different philanthropic programs. When I first joined, I wanted to be exposed to all of them to help me decide where to get the most involved. But I found I was interested in a lot of them! I was on the education committee for six years and helped start the Assistance League University, a system to develop leaders within our organization through classes taught by our own members. I had heard members were hesitant about taking on leadership roles, so I knew we needed to give them the tools to make them competent to take on those roles. I also am very involved in delivering activity kits. We pass out more than 22,000 annually to 21 area hospitals, schools and agencies. We were making them only for younger children, and I realized there was a need for the older crowd as well, so we started assembling kits for teenagers and adults too. They really are a great distraction for hospital patients and those in the waiting room and help everyone involved not focus on the clock.

My current role in public relations has really energized me. I’ve been exposed to so many different organizations and people in St. Louis I never knew existed, and I’m part of making meaningful connections for Assistance League. I sit on the Community Response Team for the FergusonFlorissant School District and work closely with Saint Louis Public Schools, Jennings School District, Innovative Concept Academy and Gene Slay’s Boys’ Club of St. Louis. My role has really grown since I started it three years ago. We used to wait for people to call us to come out and do presentations, and now we’re much more assertive and are out looking for opportunities. We want to get out there and meet people who will be instrumental to our mission.

Q| IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING FOR THE ORGANIZATION, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A| I would love to expose more of our members to the opportunities I’ve had meeting those involved

with other organizations around the area. I really want more people to experience what St. Louis has to offer in the nonprofit world; there are so many good things going on. You learn a lot interacting with others from different walks of life with different viewpoints and backgrounds!

Recent grad Matthew Travers is taking a detour (to China!) before heading to college at the University of Mississippi next fall. Travers was chosen as one of approximately 600 recipients nationwide for a National Security Language Initiative for Youth scholarship. The program, which places students in an immersion environment, works to increase the number of Americans who can interact with native speakers of critical languages and thereby promote opportunities in the private, academic and government sectors across cultures.

SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS

BY KARYN MEYER

MOST LIKELY THE STUDENTS WE KNOW HAVE BOOKS AT HOME AND A LITTLE (OR A LOT) OF SCHOOLWORK SUPPORT FROM THEIR PARENTS. BUT A LARGE GROUP OF CHILDREN IN THE ST. LOUIS AREA HAVE NEVER OWNED A BOOK, AND THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO TURN WHEN HOMEWORK IS TOO CHALLENGING. FORTUNATELY, LOCAL NONPROFITS ARE DOING THEIR PART TO MAKE SURE EVERY CHILD HAS ACCESS TO THE BASIC TOOLS OF LEARNING.

OPEN HOUSE

Sunday, November 13 12:30 - 3:30 p.m.

www.priory.org

Where Children Blossom®

One of them, Ready to Learn, provides free books to children in underserved school districts in the area. It started with a simple concept: a group of friends wanted to give back to their local community. Now, almost five years later, the nonprofit has passed out more than 147,000 books to students in grades pre-K through 12th grade. President Elise Tierney, one of the founders, says competent reading skills are an integral part of educational success.

“Some of the schools we serve don’t have a fulltime librarian or are in high-crime areas where the local library shuts down early, so kids don’t have access when they need it,” she explains.

“This is a way for us to not only give students books, but also to let them know we want them to be successful.”

Its Book Buddies program targets younger children in pre-K through third grade. Students get a book paired with a stuffed animal that matches the story’s main character. These are kept at school until the end of the year, when the kids get to take them home. “They get so excited to start their very own library,” Tierney says.

The Book Day program allows Ready to Learn volunteers (many of whom are former teachers) into classrooms for distribution days, when students choose anywhere from two to eight books on average to take home. “We bring more than 1,000 books, even if we’re just serving 250 kids one day, because everyone has different interests, and we want them to find something they like,” Tierney says. “Children read, and read more often, if they are interested in the book.”

She says if a child has been a recipient of their programs multiple years in a row, it shows.

“We have kids in second grade reading higher than a fifth-grade level because they’ve been getting books since preschool,” Tierney says.

“We get thank you letters from kids all the time. It is the biggest privilege to serve these children, and all our volunteers feel the same way. We have an obligation to provide these

children with what they need to be successful, and it all starts with reading.”

Another local nonprofit focused on children’s success is Mathews-Dickey Boys’ and Girls’ Club, which has been helping students, especially those in low-income neighborhoods, succeed in school and beyond for more than 50 years. Its beginnings were all about baseball; founders Martin Luther Mathews and the late Hubert ‘Dickey’ Ballentine knew they could keep young men off the streets by putting them on the field. The group has evolved into something much bigger today. “Our mission is to produce well-educated, physically active and hopeful young people with family at the center of everything,” says Bill Fronczak, vice president of public relations and special events. “Creating scholar athletes is part of our new strategic initiative, the Blue Chips initiative, which officially started this year,” he explains. “It’s a three-year transformation plan. We’ve taken the Mathews-Dickey model of wanting members to be successful in sports and are expanding it to create individuals well-rounded in arts, health and education.”

The center serves ages 5 through 18, and members pay a nominal $50 annual membership fee. All members in good standing receive services free of charge, including educational programs, leadership seminars, computer training, career workshops, mentoring programs, tutoring, sports leagues and more. “We believe in diversity and surrounding students with people from all walks of life, but we also strongly believe in the importance of serving low-income students,” Fronczak says. “Due to the nature of where we’re located and our affordable rates, that’s the majority of our members. Many times, insurance companies sponsor memberships so families don’t have to pay.”

Weekly tutoring services, which started back in the ‘80s, is a major program here. Community volunteers or ‘study buddies’ are paired with individual students for the Saturday sessions from 10 a.m. to noon for six weeks in both fall and spring. “They help kids with their homework or class work, work on computer skills and help with enrichment exercises,” Fronczak says. “We offer help in all subjects but are really focusing on math and reading because we’ve noticed that’s where students have the most problems, which can affect their abilities in other core subjects.”

Fronczak says with the new initiative, Mathews-Dickey is focusing on offering even more supplemental enrichment programs and partnering with various districts to bring help into the schools. “We want to offer an integrated curriculum that allows students to enjoy athletics at the heart of it all and provide support to make them feel welcome,” he says.

(CDS), where it is prepared by pint-sized cooks who set the table, toast bread, cut fruit and pour cereal into real glass bowls. “When you are 18 months old, making your own breakfast is a huge and important life skill,” says head of school Rachana Creeth. Teaching skills like these and how to apply them in the day-to-day is at the center of Montessori thinking and what drives the CDS preschool program.

Creeth explains that the preparation of breakfast demonstrates all four philosophical pillars of Montessori education—order, concentration, coordination and independence. “The children eat when they are hungry,” Creeth says. “We don’t tell them to eat, but we allow them to listen to their own bodies.” At CDS, this activity holds the same importance as learning the alphabet. Putting on a coat and holding a spoon correctly are skills as valuable as building a house out of blocks. “Layering like this builds a solid foundation for high executive functioning,” Creeth notes.

In second grade, teaching switches to other methods using project-based learning (PBL) to solve problems and address challenges. This is the vein that runs through the curriculum, as is Singapore Math, an approach that focuses on math mastery rather than memorization. “We move away from the mechanics of doing and toward higher order thinking. We want students to be able to solve problems they don’t know exist yet,” Creeth explains. During project-based learning sessions, children work collaboratively toward common goals, learning how to conduct interviews, hold meetings, resolve conflicts, use their hands and complete assignments.

Creeth stresses that teaching at CDS is highly personalized. “We truly allow each child gifted in a particular area to be challenged where they are,” she says. “We nudge them along individually to reach their full potential. Everyone is on their own track.” This means there’s a lot of physical movement in the classroom as teachers go from student to student. “You’ll never walk in and see a whole class having one lesson. You’ll see conversations, not lectures,” she adds. Learning takes place all the time—in the hallway, around a lunch table, over a bowl of Cheerios. Children learn how to hold a spoon, how to greet people, how to have a conversation when there are differences of opinion. “We seize the moments to foster grace and courtesy in our young people,” Creeth says.

She became head of school last year, having served as the school’s business manager since 2010.

All three of her children have gone through the Montessori program there. Although Creeth comes from a corporate background, she says her passion is education. “At CDS, we believe in the whole child, and we place great value on building capable, well-adjusted children of strong character.

Educated young adults are our future,” Creeth says.

CDS, which goes through sixth grade, was founded in 1962. It currently has 150 students but is adding 20 more spots this fall to meet the demand for entrance.

[ DRIVEN ] ALFA ROMEO 4C by robert w. paster

ITALIAN SPORTS CAR—what image do these words conjure in your mind? If the image is a great-

looking curvy beauty with two seats and a powerful mid-engine powerplant, then you’ll be glad to learn the 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C could be the Italian mistress your wife will let sleep in the garage.

One does not simply ‘get into’ the 4C. The action is more like sinking, as the car sits low to the ground. Exposed carbon fiber gives visual reassurance that this car is light and nimble. Leather seats are firm and supportive with large bolsters for spirited driving.

The gauge cluster has a video image of an analog tachometer and digital speedometer that also displays the current transmission gear. Ventilation is three-rotary-knob simple. The audio system is easy to use, though you may forego it to better enjoy the beautiful music coming from the engine. The interior is cozy, but not tight. With a small trunk, a very stiff suspension tuned more for handling than comfort and a muffler delete option, it’s not really a road trip car. It’s more oriented for the track or maneuvering through city streets and winding country roads.

Rear visibility is pretty poor, but decent mirrors ensure you can view the cars you’ve passed. Back-up sensors let you know if you’re getting close to something when reversing, but there’s no back-up camera. Because the 4C is so low to the ground, you have to make sure you can see the other cars and they can see you.

Driving the 4C is a blast. To top it off, it’s gorgeous and gets lots of attention. You’ll also yearn to get it on a track to see what it can really do. Fortunately, at a recent media event at the Road America track in Wisconsin, I got to take a 4C on a speed lap, and it truly is like a go-kart, hugging the pavement like a race car with incredible responsiveness and feedback thanks to the absence of power steering (hurray!). From a standstill, 60 mph can be reached in only 4.2 seconds. Unfortunately, only an automatic transmission is offered, but it does include quick shifting paddle shifters on either side of the thick, flat-bottomed, leather-wrapped steering wheel if you want to select the gears yourself.

According to Pedro Torres at Fiat of Metro East in Fairview Heights, Illinois, “The 4C has a unique style. And for the money, it’s hard to beat its speed and handling. It’s like a race car.”

Though maybe not the best daily driver, this is a fun weekend or track car for those who are serious drivers. As a bonus, it can double as sculpture while sitting in your garage.

NEWLY OPENED ON GRAND BOULEVARD, Sheesh

offers authentic Turkish cuisine in an exotic setting.

Oriental rugs, tasseled curtains and pendant oil lamps add to the ambiance. The menu offerings are halal Middle Eastern fare like kebabs, grilled fish and lamb shank, plus an array of spreads and salads. Flavors are mild, with garlic, lemon, mint, sumac and olive oil dominating. You can’t go wrong starting with the Vegetable Combo ($10), a generous portion of humus, baba ghanouj, falafel and stuffed grape leaves (sarma), served with a large piece of Turkish bread.

The spreads here are exemplary and rely more on texture and the natural buttery flavor of eggplant and chickpeas than on spices. The baba ghanouj, topped with bright pomegranate seeds, has a wonderful smoky flavor imparted during the grilling process. The humus is flavored with lemon. Our falafel were delicious, thickcrusted and crunchy, but without an oily texture or taste.

And the sarma, grape leaves stuffed with rice, parsley and spices, were tender and not the least bit bitter.

Especially good was the Hamsi ($12) a pile of tiny,

whole, fresh anchovies well-spiced and covered with a cornmeal-type fried coating. These were very flavorful and not at all greasy. They came with a large plateful of couscous that was quite buttery tasting and a pool of lemony humus. Also noteworthy is the special soup, Ezogelin ($5), which is a mix of red lentils, bulgur wheat, rice, mint and Turkish spices. It’s a broth, but with a little bit of pureed texture and an excellent straight-from-mom’s-kitchen character.

Kebabs and lamb dominate the meat and fish entrees.

Alinazik Kebab ($16) is the traditional ground lamb pressed into a long strip, seasoned and grilled. It’s tasty, with a rich, fatty undertone, but if you prefer grilled cubes of lamb, that can be had only in the Sheesh Kebab ($16). The Sheesh Kebab is delicious, very well spiced, each cube grilled to yield a pleasant outside crust.

Dishes that come on top of rice are called biryani here. We ordered the lamb version ($16), which was a little tired looking and tasting, as it was a Tuesday night—most likely slow-cooked meats are made fresh in preparation for the busy weekend, not on Tuesday

» safa marmarchi WHY OPEN AT THIS LOCATION?

It’s a very international area, full of different types of restaurants. I thought a Turkish restaurant would fit in well here.

FAVORITE DISH ON THE MENU?

[ aftertaste ] » The food was delightfully prepared, and the restaurant had great ambiance.

(lesson learned). The lamb shank sat on a large mound of spiced rice dotted with raisins, chickpeas and shaved carrot. The accompanying yogurt sauce was refreshing, with minty, dilly flavors.

Fish lovers should not miss the Fish Kebab ($18), very well-spiced chunks of swordfish presented over couscous, which is itself a good dish. The small grains were mixed with an equal part of what looked like tiny lentils and tangy capers for an earthy, butter-tossed treat. The marinated fish, accompanied by a spicy green sauce, was fresh with great flavor.

One downside: service is very slow; this is a familyrun business with few servers, some of them teens.

Sometimes, this just comes with the territory.

The desserts we tasted were good, along the lines of traditional Greek sweets. The baklava was dense, with chopped nuts and a buttery rich mouthfeel. It didn’t have the dripping-honey flavor I’m used to, or the notes of cardamom, but was excellent nonetheless. Kadaifi, a square of shredded wheat laced with a few whole pistachios and steeped in honey, also was good.

I’M GETTING BACK INTO TEQUILA, as it has been two decades

since I’ve been able to enjoy it fully—thanks to a fraternity mishap that sent the burning distillate out my nose. Until then it had been my beverage of choice. I used to lug around a bottle of Jose Gold, passing out shots. We’ve come a long way since then.

What it is: Tequila is distilled specifically from the blue agave plant and comes from the area around the town of Tequila in the western highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The red volcanic soil there is unique and perfectly suited for growing the succulent blue agave.

Tequila was first produced by the Spanish conquistadors when they ran out of brandy. The Aztecs had been producing a distilled spirit of the agave plant for centuries; the Spanish utilized some of their methods and perfected it into the drink we have today.

Tequila Varieties: Plata or silver tequila is unaged and bottled immediately after being distilled. It is most often used for mixed drinks. Reposados are aged in large oak barrels or casks (up to 20,000 liters). White oak from the U.S., Canada and France are preferred. Old whiskey and wine barrels often are used to impart additional aroma and flavor qualities. New barrels can be charred to impart smokiness, but techniques vary from producer to producer.

Añejos, a sipping drink typically consumed after dinner like cognac or fine brandy, must be rested for at least one year in smaller oak casks of no more than 600 liters. Used whiskey barrels from the U.S. and Canada are traditional, as they impart the darker tones and richer flavors associated with this style of tequila.

Pete’s Dragon 〉〉

This is the story of a boy and his dragon. Even though we know it’s a fairy tale, there is no way not to get wrapped up in the magic of it all. Because really, love is love, no matter whom it’s between. Pete (Oakes Fegley) comes across the giant green creature, who he names Elliot, in the woods after a car accident that kills both his parents. (Could it really be a Disney flick without a tragedy in the first few minutes?) Their connection is immediate, and the two build a life together in the forest for years, untouched by the outside world.

It’s an idyllic place to be in every regard, and you find yourself yearning to be that free and peaceful. When workers from a nearby mill start tearing down parts of their home, and Pete becomes aware of life beyond the trees, everything changes. New relationships form, trust is tested, and lives are changed. But in the end, love prevails—and that’s the best ending to any fairy tale.

our quality of life. Shireen Qalbani, 67, had poor peripheral vision and was avoiding night driving, all because of her droopy eyelids. Searching for a solution, she turned to Dr. Gabriela Espinoza, a SLUCare Physician Group ophthalmologist and ocular plastic surgeon.

Espinoza, whose focus is entirely on the eyes, recommended an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, a surgical eyelid repair. “In the upper eyelid, the procedure can get rid of excess skin that causes wrinkles or a fullness of the eyelid,” Espinoza notes. “In the lower eyelid, it can get rid of bags, smooth out wrinkles and help with dark circles.”

Many of Espinoza’s patients land in her office wanting a cosmetic fix, but often they end up with functional improvements, too. And although blepharoplasties are not normally covered by insurance, if it’s done to improve peripheral vision, like in Qalbani’s case, an exception is sometimes made. “The extra skin can act like a baseball cap, which can cause people to have trouble seeing above them—I’ve had patients who regularly bump into cabinets or doors because they just don’t see them,” Espinoza says. “They may have difficulty reading for long periods of time or keeping their eyes open at night—these patients tend to compensate by lifting their eyebrows, which can be exhausting.”

The goal with eyelid surgery is to achieve a natural look, says Espinoza, who strives to provide completely individualized care. “Every person’s body is different, everyone’s eyes are different,” she explains. “I want to give patients a natural look that doesn’t look overdone—like you’ve just had a wonderful vacation. It’s a subtle change, but it makes people appear happier, rested and relaxed.”

That’s exactly the result she achieved with Clifford Aerie, who had both his upper and lower eyelids repaired a few years ago. “He had excess skin and droopiness of the upper eyelids, which was impairing his peripheral vision, and he also had fairly pronounced bags, so I did a complete eyelid makeover,” Espinoza says. Aerie reports that Espinoza immediately put him at ease. “We talked about that people are how they feel about themselves,” he says. “I found I was beginning to not look people in the eye.” Afterward, Aerie told Espinoza that his friends couldn’t even tell that he’d had surgery—they just thought he looked well-rested. “The results are great, and I feel that it’s helped psychologically,” he adds.

For Qalbani, having her eyelids repaired has made a huge difference. “My peripheral vision was getting worse,” she says. “My eyes are so much more open now—I’m in heaven. Dr. Espinoza told me I could call her anytime, but I don’t need to because it looks so beautiful.”

Feel Good, L ook Great

BY STEPHANIE DIFFIN

EACH YEAR AS WE GET OLDER, ONE MORE YEAR OF GRAVITY TAKES ITS TOLL ON OUR BODIES. IT SEEMS LIKE FATHER TIME STARTS AT THE TOP WITH WRINKLES AND FROWN LINES AND MERCILESSLY WORKS HIS WAY DOWN TO WREAK DISASTER ON OUR BODIES, ONE SAGGING SPOT AT A TIME. BUT NOTHING IS COMPLETELY IRREVERSIBLE: MODERN MEDICINE OFFERS SOME REMARKABLE FIXES!

T he Face NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP

“I have so many people who come in and say, ‘I’m doing great in my job but there are so many new, younger people. And I feel young, but my face doesn’t match how I feel,’” reports Dr. Richard Maack, facial plastic surgeon at Synergi Facial Surgery.

There are a few things happening to the lower face as we age, he explains. One is sun exposure: the sun ages the surface of the skin and every layer underneath. In addition, the fat and facial volume over the cheekbones start to thin out, leaving the skin nowhere to go but down.

Add loss of collagen and elasticity to the equation, and you’ve got more loose skin gathering around the jawline than you’d probably like.

Just how much skin is there depends on a variety of factors, including genetics, weight loss or gain, and how much exposure to the sun you’ve had over your lifetime. Those factors also play a role in options available to fix the problem. In the most severe cases, the best remedy is a face-lift.

“If you sit in front of a mirror, grab the skin of your neck and pull it back behind your ears to see what it

looks like when it’s nice and smooth again, the only thing that gives people a result like that is a trip to the operating room,” says Dr. Joseph Muccini of MidAmerica Skin Health & Vitality Center.

THE GOLD STANDARD

Doctors say the face-lift has come a long way over the years. Some relatively recent improvements include hiding incisions inside the ears and inserting platelet rich plasma (PRP) into the face during surgery to build collagen and speed healing. The procedure also involves tightening the deep tissue to give natural and long-lasting results.

“People are very nervous about face-lifts or surgery because they think they’re going to have that over-operated, pulled look, which they should not have,” says Maack. And while it is the most effective treatment, it is also the most invasive. “It's the gold standard,” adds Muccini. “It is the thing against which everything else is compared to, but not everyone needs something like that.”

If sagging is not extreme, patients may opt for more interim measures, like laser, ultrasound or radio frequency treatments. When appropriate, these can save a patient money and recovery time. One example, ‘Forever Young BBL with Skin Tyte,’ involves using a deep infrared light to tone the skin, Maack reports.

“Both men and women say they really love the results because they feel better about themselves and look the way they used to,” he says.

'PrecisionTX’ laser treatments also offer a solution by melting fat and tightening the tissue, according to Muccini. “It’s like a very limited, intentional, superficial injury. And your body (sends) a signal to say, ‘repair me.’

So you get some collagen remodeling.”

The only way to know what will work for your individual issues is to go in for a consult, the doctors agree. What's right for one person may not appeal to another, but beauty professionals are pretty certain there is something for everyone.

Breasts BREAST PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN THE BUTT OF JOKES FOR DECADES, BUT IT'S NO JOKING MATTER WHEN A WOMAN FEELS HER YOUTH, AND APPEARANCE, SLIPPING AWAY AFTER MULTIPLE PREGNANCIES. OR SHE IS SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF HER BREASTS. BREAST SURGERY CAN BOOST CONFIDENCE AND LET WOMEN FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHAT THEY SEE IN THE MIRROR DECADES LONGER.

IT'S ABOUT FEELING GOOD

“Breast lift surgery has really great psychological and overall benefits to the people who choose to undergo it,” says Dr. Christina Plikaitis, plastic surgeon with SLUCare Physician Group. “It really boosts confidence and helps them continue to feel great about themselves.”

Lifts add an element of youth, helping to restore a firmer look to the chest area. But they don't provide extra volume, which many women also want when they opt for breast surgery.

“A lift with augmentation is what restores the fullness of the tissue that sometimes is lost when you have aging of the breast,” explains Plikaitis.

NEW & IMPROVED

As with most cosmetic procedures, the industry is developing new and more effective options, in part to meet demand. “Plastic surgeons are always looking for alternative ways to lift breasts with a shorter scar. And there has been research on different materials placed within the breast tissue to help hold the tissue up,” says plastic surgeon Dr. Michele Koo.

The surgical mesh, which has been FDA-approved, is one possibility for use with breast lifts in the attempt to make lifts work better longer. The ‘internal bra’ is another. Both require introducing a foreign substance to the body, which is why they haven't

effective,” Plikaitis says.

There's a difference in their longevity as well. The general lifetime for a saline implant is 10 years, while silicone implants can last 15 to 30 years. Deciding which to use is dependent, in part, “on the woman’s

IT REALLY BOOSTS CONFIDENCE AND HELPS (WOMEN) CONTINUE TO FEEL GREAT ABOUT THEMSELVES. been embraced by all physicians. It is thought they might increase the risk of infection, cause an inflammatory reaction in the body and make it harder for doctors to diagnose cancer.

IMPLANT DEBATE

Breast implants today are more natural in appearance, especially silicone implants, which are softer and come in a variety of shapes.

The other option, the saline implant, is more rounded and gives a fuller, more augmented look. “Depending on patient preference, each is

original breast anatomy and her ultimate cosmetic goals,” Koo notes.

“Just like a pair of pants that is old and has a hole rubbed through, so can an implant do over years and years of time,” says Plikaitis.

“Breast surgery is not a one and done,” Koo says. “The outcome of a breast lift will depend on the laxity of the woman’s skin and breast tissue, and whether she has major swings in weight gain and loss.” The fitter a woman is, the more likely she will be able to maintain the benefits of surgical lift and augmentation.

Knees WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE COMMON TROUBLE SPOTS— FACE, BREASTS, TUMMY AND THIGHS. BUT WHAT ABOUT KNEES? FAT POCKETS AND LOOSE SKIN AROUND THE KNEES ARE OFTEN THE CULPRITS WHEN WE START NOTICING THAT OUR ONCE-SHAPELY LEGS SUDDENLY DON'T LOOK THAT GREAT IN SHORTS. DOCTORS REPORT THAT COSMETIC TREATMENT IN THIS AREA IS BECOMING MORE COMMON.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

“It’s a big concern for many, many women," says Dr. Richard Moore of The Lifestyle Center. "They come in, and they’re happy when they’re sitting and their knees are bent because the skin is stretched. Then they stand up and get that crinkly skin over the knee."

One reason for droopy skin over and around the patella is the natural loss of collagen and elastin that comes with aging. Moore explains that around age 30, collagen levels start to drop about 1 percent each year. By the time we hit 40, that percentage more than doubles. “You see looser skin,” he says. “There can also be some loss of soft tissue underneath, such as fat.”

A slow decline in muscle mass also begins for women in their 30s, which can add to the problem.

For many, the change makes it appear there is more fat around the knee. But experts say that’s not always the case.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

“It’s not so much the fat is getting bigger as it is the muscle

mass

itself is getting smaller,” Dr. Lily Bogunovic, a Washington University orthopedic specialist. “So you have a change in the contour of your thighs and knees, and the muscle mass surrounding

says

them.”

The best way to combat the loss of muscle mass is with strength training, which can improve both the appearance and health of the knees, she says.

THE BEST WAY TO COMBAT THE LOSS OF MUSCLE MASS IS WITH STRENGTH TRAINING ...

“If you can maintain and build more muscle mass, I believe that’s the best way to not only have your

knees functioning well, but looking good too,” she says.

QUICK FIXES

If strength training is not getting the results you want—or if it's just not for you—some cosmetic

procedures can address the knees, Moore says. Radio frequency treatments, such as BodyTite, can firm the area and generate collagen.

His center also uses a biostimulant option called Sculptra in which a substance is injected into problem areas to stimulate the body into producing collagen.

“Historically, it’s been a very difficult thing to deal with and we, to some degree, ignored it," says Moore of old-looking knees. Women notice when it is happening, he says, but it has never been a top-of-mind issue. Now, with women staying fit longer, they want their bodies to reflect that fitness. "We've brought on new treatments to help women deal with it.” He says women today want to look as good as they feel.

[PARENT BEAUTY PRODUCTS TRAP GET OUT OF HIS WAY! & SERVICES

by dr. tim jordan

FATHERS AND SONS HAVE

had their own unique dance since the dawn of mankind.

The following are some best practices for raising sons that I have gathered through parenting two sons and working with boys for many years.

Watch your intensity: Most dads are raising kids at the height of their own ambitions, and some of their own striving may result in pushing a son to be ‘the best.’ They need to accept that their own drive may not be matched by their sons.

Don’t over-coach him: I saw a boy throwing a football around in the street with his dad, and the entire time the dad was coaching him: “Use both hands, don’t catch it against your body, hold the ball at the seams, etc.” The boy was out there to connect with his dad, not be critiqued. It’s important that most of the time with your son is not spent being on him about his grades, athletic performance or mistakes. Too many sons grow up with the belief that they are never good enough.

Give up control: If you don’t gradually give your son more say-so in his life, he may end up rebelling or engaging you in power struggles to get his power. Or he might become a pleaser, be overly driven to prove himself to you, or even worse, he might shut you out altogether.

Discipline shift: As boys enter adolescence, shift your discipline model from rules and punishments to agreements and accountability. Give him a voice when making agreements about homework, curfews, chores, allowance and electronic usage. This results in better cooperation and it’s easier to hold him accountable.

Don’t match their anger: Adolescent boys’ anger and aggression brain circuits are primed by hormones, increasing their desire for dominance, power and proving themselves.

Don’t try to reason with him when he’s mad; wait until he cools off. Don’t punish his angry reaction by holding him accountable for it; punish only the misbehavior. Model staying calm and being in charge of your emotions.

Share your stories: Kids look at their parents and see the ‘finished product.’ They weren’t around for your awkward stages, your mistakes and failures. Sharing these types of stories lets sons know that you really can relate to them, and it opens them up to sharing their own experiences.

Get out of their way: When your son looks at you, make sure full confidence in him is mirrored back. Allow him to make decisions for himself and to direct his life. In his late teens, that means letting go of thinking you know what’s best for him and allowing him to be the master of his fate.

Special time together: An elderly gentleman was rummaging around in the attic when he found one of his old journals. He opened it to an entry from when his son Mason was 8 years old. It read, “Went fishing with Mason today; didn’t catch a thing.” He then discovered his son’s diary in the same box and an entry from the same day. Mason’s account was far different. It read, “Went fishing with my dad today.

Best day of my life!”

THETHESTEPS ] ‘90S RETURN! by marylyn simpson

AS WE KNOW, history repeats itself, and that’s evident in

fashion and makeup trends, too. Suddenly, beauty looks from the ’90s are back with a vengeance: witness the berry lips and neon hair popping up everywhere from the catwalk to the red carpet. Let’s take a walk down memory lane with a step-by-step look at the updated styles that were, like, totally awesome.

[ how to ] LOUD LIPS: Drew Barrymore was the reigning queen of dark lipstick back in the ‘90s. Hello, Poison Ivy! Leave it to Kylie Jenner to update this lipstick staple. Kylie has nailed the throwback trend with KYLIE COSMETICS KOURT K, a deep purple hue that goes on glossy with a matte finish.

KYLIECOSMETICS.COM, $29

GRUNGE GODDESS: Eye shadow was dark and

dramatic in the ‘90s, thanks to the emergence of grunge music. Model Abbey Lee Kershaw gave new life to the look at the premiere of Gods of Egypt. Bronze eye shadow covered both upper and lower lids, giving the model a smoldering, nighttime appeal. Check out THEBALM NUDE TUDE EYESHADOW PALETTE for gorgeous gold tone options.

THEBALM.COM, $48

BRONZED, NOT BAKED: The ’90s were all about

bronzer. Taking a contemporary approach to the sometimes over-bronzed beauties of that era, you can add some color subtly to your cheeks with NARS BRONZING POWDER IN LAGUNA. It will give you a healthy glow without the cakey, baked look of the past.

NORDSTROM AT WEST COUNTY CENTER, $39

GLITTER GIRL: Glitter was literally everywhere in the ‘90s. I can still remember the look on my mom’s face when she saw the glitter I accidentally spilled all over her bathroom floor. While my ability to keep my makeup off the floor has improved, my love of glitter makeup has never subsided! MAKE UP FOR EVER WATERPROOF AQUA EYE LINER is a beautiful, glittery product that, unlike the roller ball glitter of yore, goes on with a foam-tip applicator, allowing you to get the cleanest, most precise line possible.

ALBERT AND PAIGE WATKINS’ most recent move

from the CWE to Ladue was quite a transition, but in this case, change was a good thing. “We went from 8,000-plus square feet in a turn-of-the-century home on Portland Place to this contemporary home right around 3,600 square feet,” Paige Watkins says. “We have five kids and decided to leave city living, and this house is just total comfort.”

The renovated, five-bedroom home has a prominent name behind it: Bernoudy. “He loved bringing the outside in and mimicking certain elements indoors and out,” Watkins explains. “For example, the outdoor trim of our house is also featured in one of the rooms.” The couple bought the house three years ago from friends who decided to forgo their planned renovation.

her husband, who have moved several times into ‘project’ homes, wanted to keep as much of the well-known architect’s original footprint intact.

“We tried to respect the common spaces and keep them how they were supposed to be,” Watkins says. “It’s almost impossible to change certain things and have a home stay a true Bernoudy.” They renovated the kitchen, which now features custom cabinets and top-of-the-line appliances, as well as all the bathrooms, installing heated floors and replacing tile and fixtures. “We tried to make timeless choices,” Watkins says. The couple also finished the basement, which Watkins originally envisioned as the main family room. “Instead, since there is so much natural light upstairs, we turned the formal living room into our family room, and that’s where we all hang out,”

she explains.

The beauty of the outdoors floods the home. Watkins describes it as California living. “You can open up the whole house and feel like there is no difference between the outside and inside,” she says. “We added a sound system everywhere, so it’s great for entertaining.” She laughs that she and her husband often find themselves on the patio with a glass of wine when the kids take over the TV. “Because the yard is so big, we have lots of privacy. It’s like a park; we redid every square inch of the 1.26 acres.”

Even though their home in Ladue is the “polar opposite” of where they used to live, the family enjoys its livability and will stay in the area. “This was a totally different way of living, a more manageable one,” Watkins explains. “Now we’re moving on to a new project!

RARE OPPORTUNITY to own an historic 1854 Federal-style home on 45 Very Private

DEAR HOMEWORK,

We bought our home about five years ago in a subdivision that is approximately half original homes and half new homes. We have no intention of tearing it down like many in the neighborhood have, but after working on the interior, we are now ready to spruce up the exterior. I am in favor of painting the brick, removing the decorative black wrought iron and shutters, and replacing the front door.

My husband would be OK with most of those options but prefers not to paint the brick. Can you help get us started? We need some ideas to get us moving in the right direction and to help us fit in better with the newer homes in the neighborhood.

Sincerely, —NOT A TEARDOWN

acres overlooking the Missouri River. This classic home has been completely renovated while keeping all the original historic details. Entertain easily in the combination Chef’s styled kitchen/hearth room with “Massive Rumford” style fireplace. The master suite has oversized custom closets, and luxury master bath. There are wide-plank wood floors, high ceilings, coved molding, beaded millwork, formal living room, library, 3 bedrooms, wine cellar, game room, attached with sweeping porches and views in all directions. GROUNDS: Improvements include a Mennonite-built barn with HVAC and water. The original wood barn is a 4 stall with center run and water. Other buildings are a brick smokehouse, 2 gardening sheds, and a 3 car garage. Agricultural income from 30 acres in production, creek, pasture and woods, this farm is suitable for horses or cattle.

I think you are on the right track by getting rid of the shutters and wrought iron. They don’t really complement the overall style of the house. I also would suggest removing the three trees that hide the living room windows and the important front-facing gable. Finally, I would eliminate the forlorn-looking gas lamp in the middle of the lawn.

Next, I suggest installing a new slate-colored, architectgrade, asphalt roof to coordinate with a new slate green trim.

Add bronze gutters and a terra cotta front door. I think all these colors work well together to transform the house without painting the brick.

A revised landscape scheme also could help. I show two clump birch trees to add vertical interest near the façade.

Three urns with flowers add an architectural note at the garage. A continuous flow of foundation plantings allows the full length of the windows to be seen, helping the façade look taller. A low, informal hedge and new ‘street trees’ nicely frame the composition from the street and give the property an established feel.

You could, of course, make architectural changes that would make the house look taller (which, no doubt, the newer houses are), but I wanted to start with the most economical approach.

Hope that helps, —HOMEWORK

[DESIGN on my mind by alan e. brainerd

COME TO TERMS WITH ... FAUX BOIS

in my previous life: a midcentury jewel

Some 40 years ago a building was going up that made a definite statement. The local General American Life Insurance Building at 706 Market St. was unlike anything locals had seen before. The architectural brainchild of Philip C. Johnson and John H. Burgee, it was one of their earliest attempts to combine a sculptural shape to their design. Their New York City architectural firm was selected from 26 other firms to design this new world headquarters. Total price: $9,850,000.

Their concept was to create something that defied convention by intersecting two glass triangular shapes, one of them 45 feet above ground level. A brick and mortar rotunda smartly connected the two shapes.

The end result was that they certainly expanded our Midwestern conventional cityscape and our ideas about how a building should look.

Downtown already had some wonderful Modern Movement (primarily made of concrete, steel and glass) buildings that had been added to the skyline in the first

part of the 20th century. The original Busch Stadium, the green glass-enclosed Equitable Building, Pet Inc. headquarters (which represented the New Brutalist style), and the Boatman’s Bank Tower all added a new vibe to a city that was already home to a Louis Sullivan skyscraper (groundbreaking in its day). All these complemented the Eero Saarinen Gateway Arch, which has become our city’s national and international symbol.

➨What company resides here now?

In 2014, Laclede Gas moved its headquarters to this building after a $40 million-plus renovation by Koman Group. It signed a 20-year lease, so for now, the General American Life building will remain a vital part of our skyline.

DESIGN REDUX Interior Renderings

It’s no secret that I am a collector. One of my most prized collections is fine watercolor renderings of room interiors. I am simply amazed by the skill level needed to execute minute details with a watercolor brush.

Thinking back, I probably began my love affair with room renderings as a young designer in the early 1980s, when I would peruse the oversized Brunschwig & Fils wallpaper books. Each was filled with not only the most fabulous document-based papers and fabric swatches, but also full-sized watercolors of rooms using the elegant signature fabrics and papers done to the highest design esthetic. Admittedly I was tempted to, but never did, cut out these pages and frame them for inspiration. Often the rooms were inspired or copied from famous rooms that had been created by some of the top interior designers in the country.

It was only recently that I learned the name of the artist who created these wonderful works of art: Mita Corsini Bland. You may be acquainted with her husband, the exclusive New York antiques dealer Gerald Bland. These magnificent room renderings were executed in such detail that they made me want to plop on the sofa and feel the warmth of the fire. Besides her work being featured in many of the top shelter magazines (and commissioned for some of the top names in New York), she also did the watercolor illustrations for the 2009 tome about Sister Parish—a must read.

Imagine my excitement to find out that Bland’s work is now for sale and part of a traveling art show. The collection by her and others is now being shown at Sallie Home right here in Ladue! These works are giclee and offered in a limited number.

AUGUST 17, 2016

The term faux bois is French meaning ‘false wood.’ It is used for any type of media that can replicate the look and or form of wood, such as concrete, metal, paint or paper. When paint is used, it is also referred to as graining.

This art form has had resurgence in the 20th century but it really came to prominence in the 18th century. At that time there was somewhat of a wood shortage in England, so the English and the new colonists oftentimes had to rely on art to create the look they desired. And sometimes people simply couldn’t afford the real McCoy, so they had an artist create the finer wood graining, such as mahogany, on their casements, floors, case goods and staircases.

The best grainers were referred to as ‘art grainers’ since they could replicate such detailed patterns as crotch mahogany, walnut burl, rosewood or quartered oak. Due to the endless possibilities (and a little artistic license), two sides of the same door didn’t have to have the same wood patterns—a miracle of nature, to be sure.

Men such as Rufus Porter, who painted for George Washington, and Englishman Thomas Kershaw, whose work was exhibited in the Paris Exposition of 1855, gained great notoriety for their fine skills. Closer to home, Boston painter William E. Wall exhibited at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. He published two books related to his craft, and they are still considered the standard to which a serious artist should aspire.

To this day, skilled artisans who have honed this craft are in great demand.
