morning, the sun was shining and everyone seemed to be out enjoying the day. We walked by a man working in his yard who clearly saw us, so I naturally shouted a ‘good morning!’ ... and nada. He just kept on his way with no reply whatsoever. I was floored, and this has happened before. Am I expecting too much from people I pass to respond to a salutation? Obviously some people think so. But instances like this make me wonder if we are all so wrapped up in what we’re doing and our own busy lives that we don’t notice those around us. And that’s when we miss out on developing relationships, helping neighbors out when they need it, and just simply being kind to others!

Then I read stories like those featured throughout today’s issue.

They are confirmation that I might be a bit too downtrodden at times.

St. Louis is filled with people helping people; in fact, we’re known for it. West County Center, a destination very familiar to all of us who live here, is celebrating 15 years, and as part of its crystal anniversary festivities, it’s hosting a food drive to benefit Food Outreach Sept. 22 to 24. Amazing! One, it will be incredibly beneficial to the nonprofit’s food supply and overall funds. Two, the event will raise awareness about the wonderful work the organization does to feed the hungry right here in our community. Anyone who works with a nonprofit will tell you that is crucial. West County Center has a huge audience, and it’s using it for the greater good.

Barbara Thompson, spotlighted in our Reaching Out column, is another great example of goodness.

She has volunteered for 14 years with Kiwanis International, which has a mission to make children feel loved and safe. Obviously the programs and initiatives are much more involved, but that’s what it all boils down to ... every child feeling wanted and getting a chance.

So I am renewed in the St. Louis spirit of kindness, giving back and reaching out.

It’s all around me, and I’ll just keep saying ‘good morning’ until I get a response.

There Is something uniquely captivating about a fashion show. Models on the

runway, beautiful clothes, bold colors, the creativity of designers—all these elements combine to transport guests to another world for a couple of hours. And when the event raises money for an important cause, the experience is even better.

This month marks West County Center’s 15th anniversary, and a key part of the shopping center’s commemorative efforts is an annual fall-themed fashion show and luncheon spotlighting looks from various mall retailers. Held Oct. 13 at The Ritz-Carlton, the event benefits Rural Parish Workers of Christ the King, a Washington County-based agency that provides food, shelter and other critical services for area residents in need. Locally, it is supported by Friends of the Rural Parish Workers.

The nonprofit has reached a couple of key milestones this year—its 75th anniversary and the 50th fashion show put on by the Friends organization. The show’s planning committee includes 12 women who have served on it all 50 years, notes Vicki Messmer, who chairs the event with fellow board member Therese Hagemeister.

“Rural Parish Workers was founded by a group of Catholic women who wanted to help struggling residents of the DeSoto area,” Messmer says. “It used to be a busy mining town, but it was no longer thriving 75 years ago. The former mine workers had no money and needed help.” Today, the organization receives support from the Archdiocese of St. Louis, but funds raised by the fashion show are a critical part of its development efforts as well. “In the beginning, the show’s founders made all the luncheon food themselves and held it at the old Checkerdome,” Messmer says. “It grew from there, but it’s still a very humble and service-oriented organization.”

The day of the show is always packed with fun for shoppers and fashion enthusiasts, she notes.

There will be clothing and accessory boutiques starting at 10 a.m., and lunch and the fashion show get under way at 11:45 a.m. Tickets are $85 and can be purchased at rpwck.org. For those who are feeling lucky, a ‘golden ticket’ mystery giveaway, raffle and table prizes will add to the excitement.

This year’s emcee is radio personality Guy Phillips of Y98 FM, and all proceeds directly benefit the nonprofit’s work, Messmer says.

Sean Phillips, the show’s producer and marketing director for mall owner and manager CBL & Associates Properties Inc., says Altar’d State, Banana Republic, DressBarn, Eddie Bauer, Evereve, Gap, Geranium, J. Jill, Macy’s and White House|Black Market will have booths at the event. The show also includes fashions and dolls from the American Girl store in Chesterfield.

Runway models are volunteers of all ages from area parishes. “They really have fun doing the show,” Messmer says. “St. Louis is such a ‘big small town’ that everyone sees people they know and has a great time networking. We encourage St. Louisans to come and enjoy the show—and make a difference for neighbors in need!”

CBL’s Phillips says his company is very pleased to support Rural Parish Workers and its efforts to aid area residents. “When you see how the funds benefit so many people in Missouri, it makes you feel like you’re doing something really worthwhile by attending,” he says. “And our stores love participating every year because they know what a great organization this is. We’re very happy to have retailers who care about the community.”

Words. It’s what I do. Without them, well, I

would not have a column. Unless I decided to draw something each week, and that’s not anything readers really want to see. I’ve talked about words that bother me, but there are also words I’m just tired of hearing (nasty, incredible, huge, loser, best, repudiate). Our language has so many beautiful words, but for some reason, I just don’t use them. It may be because I’m not sure how to pronounce them. I don’t want to mangle them and sound like a loser. But I don’t care anymore!

I’m going to make my vocabulary beautiful, and I hope you will join me. Oh, and if you hear me mispronounce a word, feel free to correct me.

Panacea is not to be confused with pancetta. Both are great in their own way! Perhaps I will use them in one sentence. The pancetta was not the panacea for the bland-tasting pasta Myra served for dinner.

That sounds so much better than: Myra’s pasta tasted gross. You could have the same confusion with sangria and sanguine. Though truth be told, if you drank enough sangria, you would have a very sanguine outlook on life.

Fetching is a word that is woefully underused.

During my lifetime, I’ve been called cute, occasionally pretty and maybe even charming, but I can’t remember a time someone called me fetching.

Back in the day, if a guy had thrown in a ‘comely' or a ‘becoming,' it’s likely I would have paid for all the beer during our date.

Is there anyone that doesn’t want to meet their confidante for an illicit tête-à-tête? That sounds much more exciting than meeting a friend for a cup of coffee at 4 p.m., especially when you know drinking coffee that late in the day will keep you up all night.

I have always wanted to be a wayfarer. The word means nothing more than traveler or tourist, but when you say it, it sounds much more adventurous, like Indiana Jones. Though I’m thinking Indiana probably doesn’t spend as much time in Florida sitting on the beach as I do.

For whatever reason, the letter ‘l’ seems to have the very best words. Think about lilt, lithe, lissome and luxuriant. All seem to conjure up someone very graceful, perhaps a fairy princess dancing around her kingdom. Hmm. Maybe I don’t use those words very often because I don’t know very many princesses.

Regardless, I like the way they sound. If you can use the word lithe to describe me, you get extra credit.

Finally, my favorite word is family. Yes, you can roll your eyes now if you want to, but that’s the truth.

When I hear the word family, I think of all the weird characters that make up mine, and I’m grateful. Sure, there are moments when I would like to trade one in for a different model, but most of the time, I like them just the way they are.

There are so many words that I didn’t even get to mention: supine, elixir, ripple, serendipity, plethora, iridescent. And you likely have a list of your own. Even if there is a chance you might mispronounce one, go ahead and use it! Make your conversation a bit more beautiful today. contact Patty at phannum@townandstyle.com.

Griffin & the Gargoyles will play the final Sunday evening concert of the season at Oak Knoll Park in Clayton.

Bring blankets, lawn chairs and snacks to enjoy the live music from 5 to 7 p.m. near the pond.

But, Griffin & the Gargoyles? No, they don’t play medieval instruments like, say, the lute. These dudes and dudettes are none other than the metro’s best cover band, according to our friends at the RFT. Want to hear (and dance to) Top 40 hits, like Katy Perry and Bruno Mars? They play that. ‘Hair’ bands from the 1980s like Whitesnake and Poison? No prob. Sinatra or Elvis?

Natch. Motown? Of course! Now, to get the chance to hear something you know you’ll like, it might be smart to arrive plenty early and make special requests of Griffin or one of the Gargoyles. Access to parking is off Big Bend Boulevard.

Covenant Place has broken ground on the second part of a three-phase, $86 million project to update and build anew at the senior living facility and resource center in Creve Coeur—a new, national model for affordable senior living and services supported by federal, state, county and philanthropic funds.

Covenant Place is uniquely situated in what’s known as a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC): Within three miles are 16,000 people age 65 and above; within five, more than 40,000. When the third phase is complete, the complex will provide 355 units of affordable, universally designed housing and a community center open both to residents and area seniors. Slated for completion in early 2019, the new building (the second of three four-story apartment buildings) will contain 102 apartments for older adults with limited incomes. Located on the I.E. Millstone Jewish Community Campus near the northwest corner of Lindbergh and Schuetz, Covenant Place also will be a central county location for seniors to access health care services, affordable dining, case management, life-long learning, socialization and other resources

CREVE COEUR

to enable them to ‘age in place,’ delaying the need for costly institutional care. Notably, in addition to its three floors of apartments, this second phase—the Cahn Family Building—will feature 19,000 square feet of space designed to reach out to seniors nearby.

Known as Mirowitz Center, it will offer a uniquely comprehensive set of services and amenities, including medical care (primary, audiology, podiatry, dentistry, physical therapy and nursing), social work-related services, and Medicare navigation. There also will be a multipurpose room for movies, speakers and banquets; mobile library visits; a beauty and barber shop; banking and legal services; and classes for wellness, fitness and cooking. What’s more, both residents and members of the community at large can take advantage of affordable, cafe-style dining somewhat like a sports bar, with both table and counter seating. Mirowitz Center will be open to seniors seven days a week.

Prost! Maplewood is crafty when it comes to creating reasons to celebrate, and an upcoming Oktoberfest-style celebration will spotlight craft beers and those from smaller breweries in the metro. (There’s a really, really big one in these parts, you know.

Since it’s not relevant to this item, we won’t tell you what it is, but its initials are AB.) A self-guided tour of regionally produced beers will wind through the streets of downtown Maplewood, featuring tastings, food pairings and chats with local brewers … a walking tour, mind you. Mark your calendar for Saturday, Oct. 7, from noon to 5 p.m., and think about procuring a 12-tasting punch card for 15 bucks, which should wet your whistle: VIP status also gets you a souvenir tasting cup. You’re just a casual sipper? You won’t need a VIP ticket to attend. Beer and food will be sold à la carte; beer pours will be in a range of sizes, from ‘tasting’ and up. Also, look for beer-infused products from the ’Wood’s makers community, ranging from soaps and beauty products to breads and chocolates. Plus, there’s a special ‘Beer in Books’ section at The Book House.

(Sample: “It was a dark and stormy night. He opened a beer. I’d already had 18 bottles myself, so I hit him over the head with an empty one.” OK, OK, not really.) If you have a taste for food, beer and maybe even literature, below is a list of brews and host businesses, some of which are actually breweries:

2nd Shift—The Living Room

4 Hands—The Crow’s Nest

Augusta—The Blue Duck

Bur Oak Brewing—Larder and Cupboard

Charleville—The Blue Duck

The Civil Life—Bolyard’s

Destihl Brewery—Larder and Cupboard

Earthbound—Maya Cafe

Ferguson Brewery—Vom Fass

Heavy Riff Brewing—Muddled Pig

Modern—Tapped

O’Fallon—The Post

Old Bakery—Tapped

Perennial Artisan Ales—Water Street

Schlafly—Schlafly Bottleworks

Six Mile Bridge—Reed’s American Table

Urban Chestnut—Boogaloo The Esquire, a movie theater that premiered in Richmond Heights at 6706 Clayton Road in 1939, has changed hands. With a going price of $8 million, the recently remodeled AMC theater with seven screens is now in the portfolio of Realty Income Co., a San Diego real estate investment trust.

The owner collects individual properties, among them many other AMC theaters and various entities ranging from individual fast-food restaurants to ‘big box’ stores like Home Depot and Walmart. Realty Income—which was founded in 1969 and acquired its first property, a Taco Bell, in 1970—tells potential investors that it focuses on businesses that need their physical location and are profitable enough to withstand a significant drop in sales and still cover their rent. OK, but what does any of this mean for movie lovers? Will they finally put current show titles back on the marquee, which has displayed only ‘AMC’ on both sides and nothing in the middle since an extensive, ‘multimillion dollar’ remodel in 2014? The vintage Art Deco cinema is practically an octogenarian, and without the show titles, it just seems abandoned. I reckon patrons nowadays are looking for particular movies online, not being drawn in by a theater’s charm. When the Esquire opened—cue the searchlights—there was a single screen and some 2,200 seats, including a balcony. Today, the overall capacity has been reduced significantly, but the comfort has increased almost infinitely! Each auditorium in the ‘multiplex’ has large, cushioned recliners, and the redo preserved some of the classy detail: Illuminated skylines—of downtown St. Louis, natch—have graced

the side walls of the main auditorium since 1989, the Esquire’s 50th anniversary. Auditorium 5 now seats 270 in power recliners and has a screen double its former size. Heck … sounds like it’s almost as nice as some of your basements. (Got Netflix?)

RICHMOND HEIGHTS

Perhaps the ‘Curse of the Corner’ has been lifted completely, now that Taco Buddha has opened right next door to Cursed Bikes & Coffee, which poo-pooed the alleged misfortunes at Pershing and Jackson when it opened over the summer.

People have called it ‘the place where restaurants go to die’ because nice eateries have opened and closed regularly at that spot over the years. Perhaps that’s because they were typically fine-dining options. Remember Perjax or Bici? No? You must have blinked. (Unfortunate note: On its website, the U. City Chamber of Commerce has the street as ‘Perishing’ Avenue … like it needs that kind of karma.) Taco Buddha is casual and quick, and from the dozen or so reviews on Yelp since the place opened Aug. 24—all 5-star—they must be doing something right at 7405 Pershing. This is definitely a different spin on an old standard; besides, the word ‘taco’ has gotten a poor connotation simply because of that fast-food joint with a name that starts with it. After all, there’s Seoul Taco—

both the restaurant and muchloved food trucks. Taco Buddha, where one may ‘Eat with Peace,’ had a soft, very gentle, kind of Zen opening in late August and is open Tuesday through Saturday, starting with breakfast. These are real breakfast tacos, Austin-style.

Staff is still training in hopes of a Sunday brunch in the nottoo-distant future. There’s room inside for 25 and an additional 25 on the patio, weather permitting, and we can’t wait to return for lunch or dinner. There’s ‘guac’ of course—but who wouldn’t want to try a fried avocado slice, too?

Maybe a jerk-chicken taco, or a tandoori chicken taco … got saliva?

kiwanis international

To help kids around the world be curious, safe and healthy through community clubs while also focusing on challenges like fighting disease and poverty

photo: colin miller of strauss peyton photography

by stephanie wallace

meet volunteer Barbara Thompson of creve coeur How long have you been a volunteer?

14 years What interested you in this particular cause?

A few things attracted me to Kiwanis. First and foremost is its mission of serving children. My career was in education, so it immediately appealed to me. In 2003, I was serving as an assistant superintendent in the Hazelwood School District. The superintendent wanted everyone to become more involved in the community and join an organization of their choosing.

I was chairing the A+ Schools advisory committee at the time, and a member invited me to a Kiwanis meeting. I went to the Florissant Valley club meeting and learned about several service projects they sponsor, including Key Club, a student-led

leadership and service program in high schools. I had been a high school teacher, and was interested in helping students.

Everything fell into place. It was just meant to be.

What kind of volunteer work are you involved with?

I’m involved on the local, regional and international levels. I belong to the Florissant Valley and Creve Coeur clubs and help sponsor a Key Club. They do so much; it is impossible to list everything! One of my favorite things at Creve Coeur is a character education program in elementary schools called TERRIFIC Kids. Each month, teachers select students who have demonstrated good character. A Kiwanis member gives them a certificate and some other goodies, letting the children know that the

community is invested in their education.

I am proud to be able to recognize these kids. In 2014, I became a member of the Kiwanis International board, and this is the last year of my term. I’ve been serving as counselor for the Belgium-Luxembourg and Taiwan districts overseas. I visited both, but I mostly remain in contact via Skype and email. I give these districts encouragement, suggestions and appreciation. Every district does amazing work for its local community.

In 2016, I had the extreme pleasure of serving as counselor to the Key Club International board, which is comprised of students. I’m also the regional leader for the Eliminate Neonatal Tetanus program, which partners with UNICEF. Neonatal tetanus kills thousands of mothers and infants around the world. Kiwanis raises money to

provide the tetanus vaccine to women of childbearing age. The program has helped eliminate neonatal tetanus in 33 countries, leaving only 16 nations to go. I also work on several teams and committees that help establish new clubs at both regional and international levels. Locally, we are working on starting a club in University City.

We can’t achieve this without meeting the needs of the community. The welfare of the child depends on the welfare of the community.

These Wisconsin homeowners were almost finished building their new home. They were thinking of holding off on putting money into the mudroom. I told them it was a bad idea. “One hot mess” is exactly what I promised them if they didn’t house the activity the space daily hosted. And I’m so glad they trusted me! I was able to help them create functional storage and charming details in this high traffic space on a limited budget.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2017

Very few people would ever consider linking bespoke clothing to T-shirts. Time Machine, however, is challenging those notions. The custom printing business, founded by St. Louis native Kevin Glazer, offers more than 350 different patterns that can be applied to more than 30 different products for children, women and men.

Glazer has partnered with Mister Guy Women’s for a one-ofa-kind retail experience. The store features a Time Machine shop where clients can customize their own products. “We love the prints, and our customers have been very responsive,” says store manager Sarah Rhim. “Prints are personal. Everyone is attracted to different designs. With Time Machine, everyone can find something they like.”

For Glazer, Time Machine is about shaking up the traditional norms of fashion. “Fashion always has been about the structure of clothes, including the fit, cut, fabric and other elements of construction,” he explains. “Time Machine is diametrically opposed to this idea. We are a print company. Our aesthetic and everything we do is based on prints and color palette.”

That’s not to say the brand is out of sync with the latest trends.

According to Glazer, the company’s vintage-inspired patterns are keeping customers current with what’s popular this fall.

Time Machine is even releasing a series of prints inspired by vintage menswear to bring this season’s runway looks to St. Louis. “Think of your grandfather’s paisley tie or pocket square,” Glazer says. “But instead of just blues and browns, we’re doing them in bolder, deeper colors orange, hot pink, purple. Our prints allow a T-shirt to be easily dressed up, and there is a uniqueness you won’t find anywhere else.”

Keeping the shopping experience interactive and fun is important to Glazer. “Retail is changing,” he notes. “There aren’t as many opportunities for window shopping and a boutique experience. Time Machine is a way to find something unique.

People who are creative will enjoy the process.” Glazer’s desire to create a more personal, community-based experience makes the partnership with Mister Guy Women’s a logical fit. “We’re a small business, but we provide our clients with customer service they can’t find online,” Rhim says. “We like to support local artists like Kevin because it brings it back to our community. Keeping it local is our focus.”

A Experience

There is something luxurious about slipping into a well-tailored pair of pants made just for you; the fit is impeccable, the fabric is high quality and comfortable. Clients of Savile Row, a custom clothier and shirtmaker in Clayton, would agree. Many return time and again to add another one-of-akind piece to their wardrobes—pants, shirts, overcoats, tuxedos, suit jackets and more.

According to president and founder David Shockley, customers come in not just for the stylistic freedom and perfect fit custom clothes provide, but also for the experience as a whole. “We provide everyone with individual service and attention,” he says. Services include everything from custom suits or wedding tuxedos to entire closet evaluations.

“Men tend to be collectors of clothes,” Shockley says. “They don’t want to get rid of things that don’t fit or are out of style, but we truly evaluate what they have. Then we can develop a plan.” After purging unworn clothing, Savile Row keeps a record of everything its clients purchase to ensure a complete wardrobe with no repeat pieces.

Custom clothing doesn’t need to be limited to special occasions or just a few pieces. Shockley says ‘office casual’ has been a big area of growth for Savile Row as more clients want sportcoats and casual shirts in checks and plaids. “This ties into the more relaxed dressing you see these days,” he explains. “The business suit is still viable, but you see more men wearing open-collar shirts under their suits. Years ago, a man had to wear a necktie. That’s not the case anymore.”

When men are building new fall wardrobes, Shockley suggests three trends to follow: shorter overcoats, more fitted clothing and flat-front pants. “Today’s coats are a little shorter than the traditional calf length, more like a car coat,” he says. “Everything in men’s clothing is a little more fitted and tapered, outerwear included.” Savile Row has about a four-week turnaround, so Shockley suggests starting to think about fall and winter outerwear now. Currently, most of the pants Savile Row makes are flat-front. “Pleated pants are on their way out,” Shockley says. “This has been a gradual shift over the past few years.”

Custom clothing evolves to follow the latest shifts in fashion in order to meet the individual needs of each customer. And those customers are not just men.

According to Shockley, 20 percent of Savile Row’s clientele is female, making custom clothing a perfect fit for anyone.

Fall back in Time

by Chrissie Wojciechowski | photos by suzy gorman

It’s time to fall for fashion ... and take a step back in time.

The runways were filled with one vintage-inspired look after another, all embracing shapes, styles and prints from the past.

But don’t head to the attic to dig out the old stuff; find updated pieces that will wow in florals, fur and frills!

Pump up the volume Channel your inner Scarlett O’Hara and make an entrance in a bold print and full skirt.

Mono - chrome makeup

B y M a r y l y n Si m p s o n

Keeping with one color doesn’t just apply to clothes this fall. Monochrome makeup has come full circle since the early 2000s, and it’s making a comeback thanks to celebrities like Gigi Hadid and Zendaya rocking the look. Below is a guide to mastering monochrome, which is as simple as choosing a single neutral shade.

Fall’s New Faves In stores now!

Gigi Hadid at the 10th Annual Guys Choice Awards

Ge tt in g Ch ee ky A neutral cheek color like Sephora Collection Colorful Blush in Passionate is the perfect match for your lips and eyes, and it doesn’t leave you looking washed out. Its slight shimmer breaks up a matte lip stain and eye shadow. $14, Sephora at West County Center

Let your lips do the talking with Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Lips in Dolly Bird. The matte lip stain in nude blush boosts your monochrome look with a subtle yet sultry appeal. $34, charlottetilbury.com/us

bro nze d bea uty Bronzer is one aspect of the monochrome look where you don’t have to worry about matching shades or neutral hues. Let bronzer add a pop of color to your cheeks, upper forehead and jawline for a healthy glow. Use your bronzer of choice; I like Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder Compact.

We’re ready for fall!

$42, Nordstrom or Sephora at West County Center

hig h on- hig hli ght er In a world of contouring and color correctors, the perfect highlighter is an integral part of any makeup trend. Your choice should depend on your complexion: Lighter skin tones need an icy pink or silver, medium complexions work best with soft peach, and darker complexions are best highlighted with gold or champagne shades. Apply above the lip, bridge of your nose, and cheekbones.

My go-to is Huda Beauty 3D Highlighter Palette. $45, Sephora at West County Center

Something for everyone! an eye -fu ll You don’t have to be an expert to know that certain shades work better on certain complexions. The key to a monochrome look is choosing the most neutral color that works for both your eyes and lips. Urban Decay’s Naked3 Palette has some of the best neutral eyeshadows for both pale and darker complexions. Check out Limit, a light dusty rose you can easily layer for night or day. $54, urbandecay.com

» hope for treating postpartum bleeding

SLUCare obstetricians at SSM St. Mary’s Hospital are leading a clinical trial to investigate a possible treatment for postpartum hemorrhage. The team is testing the InPress Postpartum Hemorrhage Intrauterine device, the first of eight clinical sites to do so. Postpartum hemorrhage refers to excessive bleeding following childbirth. It usually occurs when the uterus fails to contract. The vacuumpowered device mimics the body’s natural response following childbirth and gently contracts the uterus, helping stop blood loss. The principal investigator for the SLUCare trial, Dr. Gilad Gross, is hopeful about what a successful trial could mean. “It could change the way postpartum hemorrhage is treated around the world and potentially save many lives,” he says.

» roots of anxiety If you are feeling anxious, a new study may have some answers why. Dr. Ilya Monosov, assistant professor of neuroscience and biomedical engineering at Washington University, is studying rhesus monkeys

and has identified a group of neurons that becomes active when they are faced with the possibility of an unpleasant event. Monosov found that when the monkeys were presented with a suggestion of something unpleasant happening, the group of neurons was active, but it was inactive when irritation was guaranteed. This means the monkeys were not responding to actual unpleasantness, only the potential for it. Rhesus monkeys are similar to humans in this area, so the discovery could lead to new treatments for anxiety disorders. The study is published in Nature Communications.

» dementia and diabetes medication Could your diabetes medicine lower your risk for dementia? That’s the question researchers at Saint Louis University have been tasked to answer by the National Institute on Aging. A study is being conducted to determine if metformin, a first-line diabetes medication, has a protective effect on the risk of dementia. The study will use health record data from the Veterans Administration and Kaiser Permanente Washington to determine if patients using metformin have a reduced risk of dementia.

» alzheimer’s blood test

A study from Washington University suggests that a blood test may be a viable way to predict the onset of Alzheimer’s. Before experiencing the trademark memory loss and confusion, patients’ brains become dotted with amyloid beta, a sticky protein thought to contribute to the disease and its progression. Currently, there are two ways to check for amyloid beta plaques: PET scans and spinal taps. A blood test would be a less expensive and invasive way to look for buildup of the protein. By measuring the levels of three amyloid subtypes in the blood, the research team was able to identify subjects with amyloid buildup, with 86 percent accuracy from a single blood sample. The accuracy rate rose to 89 percent when more samples were analyzed. The study’s lead author, Dr. Randall J. Bateman, says, “That would be a huge step forward in our ability to predict, and maybe even prevent, Alzheimer’s disease.” The findings were announced at the Alzheimer’s International Conference in London and published online in Alzheimer’s and Dementia, the journal of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Repair& Rejuvenate by julia m. johnson

As much as we worship the sun and seek

the great outdoors, both can be a bit of a

double-edged sword. They offer numerous

benefits for mood and physical health, but too much of a good thing can produce results we’d

rather avoid. Skin and hair often fall prey to

summer heat, sun and fun, so local experts

offer advice on counteracting the elements’ most damaging effects.

SUMMER HAIR REPAIR Did you spend June through August lounging by the pool and cooling off in the water? Did your locks end up looking and feeling like straw because of the sun and chlorine? Don’t despair, say area hair experts.

They have advice, products and treatments that can help.

Pool your efforts

“Any kind of water can have an effect on your hair, whether it’s from the ocean or pool,” says Sam Oberkrom, director of education at Dominic Michael Salon. “Water enters the hair cuticle and displaces natural moisture, oils and minerals that are there for balance. It can do the same to your hair’s color molecules. You’ll often see color fading during summer months when people are swimming.” Color can be boosted with services like a rejuvenating salon gloss treatment, she notes.

If chlorine is your summer nemesis, Oberkrom also advises a salon visit to restore hair to its former glory. “If your hair feels slick or slimy after the pool, that’s chlorine buildup,” she notes. “We offer detoxifying treatments to remove it. Or if the problem’s not that serious, products from manufacturers like Aveda can help.”

Rosalie Broadway, stylist and assistant manager at Nicole’s of Ladue salon, says those who suffer from chlorine overload can try chelating shampoos to help reverse ‘swimmer’s hair.’ “Especially if you’re blond, you may see staining from chlorine and pool additives that contain copper,” she says. “A chelating shampoo has ingredients that bond with the metal molecules and remove them.”

Prevent damage

Broadway says other elements can take their toll on hair as well. Summer ponytails can mean broken and damaged hair from elastic bands, and wind can cause tangling, dryness and breakage. “Use gentle elastics without metal closures, or try silicone bands,” she says. “Silicone is especially good because it doesn’t grab and cause damage.

And always avoid rubber bands!”

Oberkrom says if your hair is already dry, further outdoor heat exposure and heated styling tools should be avoided as much as possible. “If you need to use a heat tool like a curling iron or straightener, start at the back of your head,” she advises. “The iron will be hottest in the first spot you place it, so don’t start on the sides, where hair is more delicate. That can cause breakage, especially if your hair is already in questionable shape!” She also advises using a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment to soften the flow of hot air.

If you want to prevent summer damage to your hair next year, try using pool water treatments that don’t contain copper, Broadway advises. “It’s also a good idea to use a silicone conditioner right before you swim,” she says. “Work it into your hair and pin it up right before you jump in. This will help insulate hair from damage, and it’s safe for any hair type.” Conditioning hair masks also can help with dryness and brittleness and are available at salons and drugstores.

A WRINKLE IN TIME Your face tells the story of life’s peaks and valleys, from smile lines to forehead wrinkles. But the tale doesn’t have to be a scary one, experts say. Surgical and nonsurgical treatments are available to help keep your skin looking supple and smooth as you age, whether you seek the sun or not.

Between the lines

Washington University plastic surgeon Dr. John Chi says there is more than one type of facial wrinkle. Static wrinkles are those that can be seen when your face isn’t moving, and deeper wrinkles are caused by sagging skin and loss of facial tissue volume. Fine lines can result from pursing the lips, frowning or smiling, Chi notes.

For those lines, he often recommends injectable Botox, which can be used on patients with nearly any skin texture or quality. Other injectable treatments such as Volbella can help with lines and wrinkles caused by lip pursing or facial movement, he says. “Many patients are concerned about the nasolabial folds that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth, and marionette lines that extend from the mouth corners to the chin,” he says. “Injectables like Juvederm also can be used for these types of wrinkles.”

Tighten up

If you have wrinkles on your neck, Chi says surgical intervention is generally the way to address them. “They usually are caused by excess or sagging skin,” he explains. “In this situation, you need to surgically remove some of the skin and tighten it.”

A fairly new ‘transcutaneous’ treatment uses ultrasonic energy to tighten tissues under the skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother look, Chi says. It’s an office procedure that uses a topical anesthetic and a handheld probe to deliver the energy into deeper tissues. And for patients with a large amount of excess skin, neck or face-lifts can be a good option, he notes.

When a patient first comes in to discuss wrinkles, Chi says he determines whether they are caused by movement of the face or loss of tissue volume (like sunken cheeks). If the latter is true, permanent cheek or chin implants made of silicone or plastic may be an option. They can plump up affected areas and help smooth away wrinkles, he notes.

AFTER-SUMMER SKIN Your skin is your first line of defense against health problems. but even the toughest walls have to be maintained. That’s never more true than after a summer outdoors immersed in sun, wind and water. Here are some ways to keep skin health in mind after summer elements have taken their toll.

Skin in the game

Dr. Joseph Muccini of MidAmerica Skin Health & Vitality Center says summer fun can bring with it some payback in terms of skin health. “Summer is a time when people want to enjoy themselves outdoors and get a tan,” he notes. “Unfortunately, they are creating problems for their skin at the same time. Even if you use sunscreen daily, it’s hard to prevent all damage unless you spend your summer indoors.”

Muccini says sun damage can cause skin discoloration, which often manifests as blotchy, brown spots. Vascular problems such as flushing and spider veins can appear as well.

Plant- or drug-based bleaching creams, or chemical peels, may be the answer to summer damage depending on the patient’s needs, he notes. BBL (broadband light) treatments performed in a medical office can even out skin tone. And facials, microdermabrasion and skin serums can rejuvenate post-summer skin as well.

“Collagen degradation, fine lines, wrinkles and large pores often result from the abuses of summer,” says Carol Anderson, BCRN, BSN, CANS, owner of Nouveau MedSpa. “Forever Young BBL treatments can help with problems like broken capillaries, dark pigmentation, sunspots and age spots. Now that you’ve

lost your tan, it can be a good time to get your glow back.”

Anderson also recommends hydrating facials, chemical peels and salt scrubs to help rejuvenate post-summer skin.

Think ahead

Preparation and timing are key in helping your skin bounce back, Muccini says. “If you’ve been delaying major skin treatments like tightening and resurfacing because you wanted to wear shorts and swimsuits, now is the time to schedule them,” he says. “Some procedures are done in a series, so there’s no better time than the end of summer, when you’re back to wearing longer sleeves and pants, especially since some treatments require recovery time.” Some techniques, including spider vein treatments, should not be done when the skin is tan, he adds.

“If you regret how you treated your skin this summer, make a resolution to do better next year,” Muccini advises. “Moisturizer, hats and sunscreen are a good start. Talk with your doctor or aesthetician about intelligent skin care options that will help undo this year’s damage and prevent more next year.” And you should never ignore good health, he says; see your doctor if you have put yourself at risk for cancer and other skin problems.

TOWN] by dorothy weiner

WHEN I THINK OF LAUMEIER SCULPTURE PARK, what

comes to mind first is the gigantic, red, tubular sculpture The Way by Alexander Liberman. Then I envision the annual art show there, a Mother’s Day tradition since 1987. But during a recent docent-led tour around the park—offered free the first Sunday of every month, May through October—I was amazed by how much more the site offers.

Next month is the one-year anniversary of Laumeier’s new Adam Aronson Fine Arts Center.

This structure, located near the original estate house, is used as the visitor’s center and for indoor exhibitions. It is a perfect example of what has helped Laumeier grow over the past 41 years from a family’s rolling parkland to a premier art center that “explores the relationship between contemporary art and the natural environment.” From the get-go, this park has been based on public-private partnerships.

Public officials convinced Matilda Laumeier to bequeath the property to the county in memory of her husband, Henry. A committee of interested citizens included artist Ernest Trova, who, in his determination to launch a worldclass sculpture garden here, promised to donate 40 of his works. This set Laumeier on the path to becoming one of the country’s first and largest outdoor sculpture parks. It is home to 70 significant works by artists known all over the world. St. Louisans who have never walked its 105 acres will be astounded by the art—and the acreage.

Did you know there are four woodland hikes on the property? And several ‘earth works,’ art created with trees, shade and grassland? There also is a children’s sculpture garden way back at the south end, near an area where art camps are conducted. Maquettes, which are small, preliminary models of the sculptures, are set out near many of the pieces and include braille depictions and explanations for the sight-impaired. As for tours, bravo to Laumeier for offering not only the Sunday tour I took, but free stroller tours the third Thursday of each month and special tours for those with memory loss.

I can’t name most of the pieces I saw that day or describe more than a handful of them (don’t miss the newest: a 12-foot-tall deer by Tony Tasset). But then that is not the point of the three steamy hours I spent there. Gaining a new appreciation for a place I have long taken for granted is.

COVER STORY

[TEAM EFFORT WEST COUNTY CENTER by julia m. johnson

GREAT THINGS HAPPEN FOR THE COMMUNITY when businesses and nonprofits team up,

and nowhere is that more evident than at West County Center this month. To highlight its 15th anniversary, the shopping center is in celebration mode from Sept. 20 to 24, offering fun activities, retail deals, prizes and more for area shoppers. And as part of the ‘bigger picture,’ the center also is supporting the community by partnering with Food Outreach to bring awareness to local hunger issues.

September is National Hunger Action Month, so it’s an ideal time to acknowledge that many of our neighbors don’t have enough to eat, says Julie Pole, executive director of Food Outreach. The organization provides food to area residents in need, including children, the elderly and those with chronic illnesses—but it’s not a food bank, she notes.

“We are the only agency in the area that provides nutrition counseling as part of our services, and we help about 2,000 clients each year,” she says. “They talk about their needs with a registered dietitian, and we provide them with nutritious food. Many are struggling with cancer, HIV/AIDS or other issues. We wish our services weren’t needed, but they’re actually crucial.”

It’s the first year Food Outreach is teaming up with CBL & Associates Properties Inc., West County Center’s owner and management company, and Pole says expectations are high. “We hope to promote our mission and let people know how they can donate food and funds during the celebration,” she says. It will be easy to contribute on-site—the mall is hosting a food drive in the food court Sept. 22 to 24, and Food Outreach staff will be on hand to educate shoppers about the nonprofit’s mission, donations and volunteer opportunities. Adding to the fun are free activities such as live music; meet-and-greets with favorite children’s characters like Clifford the Big Red Dog and Curious George; and special discounts from West County Center retailers.

“It’s our ‘crystal’ anniversary, so the celebration features a number of tie-ins with that,” says Sean Phillips, marketing director for CBL & Associates. There will be lots of giveaways related to the theme: A trip for two to the crystal-clear waters of Cancun; Swarovski crystal earrings or tickets to Crystal by Cirque du Soleil at the Family Arena in November; a pair of Swarovski crystal earrings to the first 50 people each day who show $100 in mall receipts at customer service; free fortune teller readings with a crystal ball; free rock candy crystals at customer service; and a $350 anniversary prize package. Details can be found by searching ‘anniversary’ at shopwestcountycenter.com.

West County Center’s birthday celebration provides an ideal platform for Food Outreach to capture the attention of a wide audience, according to Phillips. “We’re looking forward to helping people celebrate, have a good time and make a difference for the community,” he says.

Pole notes, “We rely heavily on volunteers, grants and donations, so we’re grateful that a large shopping center would care enough about hunger and chronic illness to help us raise awareness.

Everyone who donates can be sure that their gifts provide the necessary nutrition for our clients, who can then use their income to address other important needs. We have a lot of neighbors who depend on us, but we also have a lot of partners who care.”

THIS PLACE IS BASED ON A FUN CONCEPT: made-to-order boiled seafood served family-style on

tables covered in wax paper. The idea is to eat the meal directly off the table with your fingers. In reality, it’s incredibly messy (the food is covered in sauce), and I found myself constantly groping for utensils, which are not provided.

But let’s backtrack. Located on Olive Boulevard in University City, the restaurant is spacious, with somewhat limited decor so as to replicate a seaside lobster shack. The menu consists mostly of highend seafood—lobster, king, Dungeness, snow and blue crabs—steamed in a choice of sauces and spice levels, from zero to ‘I Can’t Feel My Mouth.’ A few combo meals that will serve at least two are offered and come with corn on the cob, sausage and boiled potatoes. These are most likely the best value.

Or you can order à la carte items, most of them at market price. The night we visited, 4- or 5-ounce lobster tails were $20, for example. There is also a smattering of nice sides, from Gumbo ($6.50) to Crawfish Fried Rice ($10). We started with those, both quite tasty. The rice was especially good, with a nice Cajun flavor and plenty of crawfish—which can have a grating oily flavor, but these did not.

The bowl of gumbo had a nice smokiness, thanks to some very good sausage (also included in the combo meals), but its texture was a little gummy, probably from too much cornstarch.

Our Angry Combo ($63.99) offered several tempting choices: Dungeness crab, shrimp and mussels, all in Cajun sauce. The ensemble came wrapped in a plastic bag with lots of liquid. You can either reach in and remove the food, or dump it all out on the table. The crab was superb: large (about 1 ½ pounds) and meaty. The shrimp, shell-on, were medium-sized, but there were plenty of them (a pound), and they absorbed the pleasant sauce well. The mussels—about 10—were among the largest I’ve seen and appeared to be a combination of green and black varieties.

The corn in the combo was very good, as it soaked up the sauce. Same for the boiled red potatoes, although I wish there had been more than two! Especially tasty were the four large slices of sausage.

They had the right amount of fat and weren’t overly spicy.

We supplemented the meal with extra goodies, including Cajun fries ($4), which I highly recommend. They were thin and dusted with sugar and spices. We also added a pound of Snow Crab in garlic sauce ($22), which was quite good, although the sauce was suspiciously similar to our Cajun sauce. The one disappointment was an order of lobster tail, which twice came overcooked, so we sent it back and just gave up.

This kind of dining is definitely an experience. You need to be prepared for a really messy meal, despite the provided bibs and gloves (which I didn’t use). And, of course, you have to crack, peel and dig out all your food.

home again » Alice Kinney (Reese Witherspoon) is 40, raising two kids, launching an interior design company and living in a beautiful Los Angeles ranch once owned by her late father, who was a film director. Life should be pretty sweet, but she’s feeling empty and alone; her husband is in New York, and their marriage is on hiatus. At a bar one evening, she meets a group of young wannabe scriptwriters—Harry (Pico Alexander), Teddy (Nat Wolff) and George (Jon Rudnitsky)—and they end up as housemates, egged on by Alice’s mother, Lillian (Candice Bergen). Excited about their luxurious new arrangements, the guys make themselves at home—and more than one of them rents space in Alice’s heart as well.

The premise of allowing complete strangers to move in at this stage of life seems a bit implausible, but the result is fun. Not surprisingly, Alice’s daughters take to the new arrivals instantly, and they manage to teach each other some life lessons along the way.

The film marks Hallie Meyers-Shyer’s directorial debut.

I thought the gestures and expressions of some of the cast were a little too staged, which inexperienced actors can be forgiven for, but even Witherspoon’s delivery was not very natural at times. And I found the ending flat. But all in all, the film was enjoyable—a fun way to spend an evening.

Designed by Hastings+Chivetta and built by Paric Corporation, the open-air stadium completed in spring 2017 fits up to 1,600 fans, including standing-room spectators. MICDS athletic director Josh Smith says the facility is a big boon and accommodates five programs: football, boys and girls soccer, and boys and girls lacrosse. It features state-of-the-art artificial turf, a concession pavilion, locker rooms, a press box, and team and training rooms. The school’s previous stadium is being rebuilt for track and field activities.

Beyond offering an updated, modern locale for games and practices, the new facility is expected to save money; the costly and time-consuming maintenance of the old stadium’s grass turf will not be an issue anymore.

The new artificial turf consists of individual blades or fibers designed to keep balls and players moving swiftly.

“Even after bad weather, the field is playable and safe for athletes and officials,” Smith notes. “One of the biggest advantages is that the turf doesn’t suffer ruts and divots that can cause athletes to turn their ankles and get injured. There is no such thing as a perfect playing surface, but we looked at a lot of other stadium fields to find the best option for our students. This one plays a lot like natural grass turf in other important ways, and it stays cooler than others, which we like. We’re pretty excited about it!”

Smith says the stadium already has become a centerpiece on campus and for the community. “Its sightlines are tremendous,” he says. “You can see almost everything on campus looking to the east. And the stands are 10 feet above the playing surface, which provides a great viewing experience for fans. That’s unusual for a high school stadium.” He notes that the school’s sports teams experienced some exciting wins the first few games on the field, a proud beginning for the new facility.

Maggie Holtman, Ron’s wife and owner of Advanced Nursing, says the stadium is a wonderful tribute to a devoted history teacher and coach who led football and golf teams at the school. “When you talk to Ron, you see what a humble, everyday guy he is—someone who treats everyone with the same respect and kindness,” she says. “And if you ask him what he has done for the school, he’ll just say he was a teacher. There’s no fanfare about it. But he also will call himself the luckiest guy in the world.” Their children and grandchildren have attended MICDS, so it’s especially exciting for them to see Ron’s achievements proudly recognized, she says.

Holtman began his career at MICDS in 1966 when it was known as St. Louis Country Day School, and he mentored multiple generations of students and athletes over the years. He is enshrined in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and Missouri Football Coaches Hall of Fame, among others, and ranks second among the state’s all-time winningest high school coaches. His football teams marched to the playoffs 16 times, and his golf teams won seven state championships. “Who would’ve guessed that the young man walking onto campus more than 50 years ago would someday have his name on the stadium?” Maggie Holtman muses. “Ron doesn’t like to stand out or draw attention to himself, but he is certainly very honored by this.”

She says her husband’s personality is an unusual combination of humility and competitiveness that served him well as both an educator and coach. “He always wanted to win but never felt it was about him,” she says of his coaching philosophy. “His motto for the kids was, ‘If you succeed, I succeed.’ A student’s father once commented to me, ‘We’ll never know what went on in Ron’s team huddles. But whatever it was, it worked.’ The kids always said, ‘All we want to do is win for him.’”

She adds, “Wherever we go, people recognize Ron and call him ‘Coach.’” Now, the history and accomplishments behind that title are appropriately emblazoned on a stadium wall.

[ DRIVEN ] JAGUAR F-PACE

Yourself in Solutions.

by robert w. paster

MANY HAVE ENJOYED THE BEAUTIFUL SEDANS AND SPORTS CARS FROM JAGUAR, but those

wanting the cargo space and utility of an SUV have had to look elsewhere. Now, like almost every other automotive manufacturer under the sun, Jaguar is offering an SUV, the F-Pace. Though the company is late to the game, it has entered with a very appealing model that should hold its own in a competitive market.

Jaguar has used its styling prowess to create a vehicle with a strong family resemblance, including a large front grille, cat-eye taillights and plenty of curves. The interior of the F-Pace is as luxurious as one would expect, with rich leather, beautiful wood and all the latest technology. Its features include a manually adjusted, tilt/telescoping, leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel; heated and cooled front seats; dual automatic climate controls; two-tone interior colors; xenon headlights; and a panoramic sunroof over the first and second row. My only complaint is a somewhat ‘plastic’ dashboard.

The audio, navigation and vehicle controls operate via a large, 8-inch (or available 10-inch) center touchscreen with surrounding hard buttons to facilitate navigation. It’s pretty easy to use, with redundant audio controls on the steering wheel. Large, analog speedometer and tachometer gauges flank a small video screen that displays the radio station, fuel, coolant temperature, outside temperature, miles to empty, driving mode and gear selection. Rear seat room is generous, with multiple air vents, USB and 12-volt outlets, and available heated rear seats that fold 40/20/40 to expand cargo room. Cargo space beneath the electric tailgate is also plentiful and comes with a tonneau cover to keep valuables out of sight, but the slope of the roof and rear hatch inhibits the height.

Driving the F-Pace is a pleasure with its quick acceleration, quality brakes, spirited handling and a solid road feel thanks to the firm suspension. A sonorous Jaguar growl emanates from the tailpipe upon hard acceleration. Three driving dynamics are offered—standard, economy and sport (I’d just keep it in sport)—and the fuel-saving engine shutoff when stopped can be defeated, though it’s not too intrusive. The smooth-shifting automatic transmission is controlled via a rotary knob on the center console. Torque vectoring adds a kind of electronic trail braking to improve cornering prowess, and a variety of sensor- and camera-based assistants provide front and rear parking aids, a rear-view camera, reverse traffic detection, blind spot monitor, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control with queue assist, and autonomous emergency braking. The latter is a great feature that will automatically stop the car if it senses you might hit something.

Considering the high level of luxury and performance offered in the F-Pace, a sub-$50,000 starting price seems like a pretty good bargain compared to many of its high-end rivals. Victoria Story, sales consultant at Plaza Jaguar, says of the F-Pace, “It’s a good size, and it has styling, handling, technology, 3-D navigation, and a phone app that can tell you where your car is parked and if the windows are up or down.”

BY DOROTHY WEINER

HEY SAY THE THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM, AND THIS WAS MY THIRD TRIP TO MIRAVAL ARIZONA RESORT & SPA IN TUCSON. BUT I WAS CHARMED RIGHT FROM THE START WHEN I FIRST VISITED SEVEN YEARS AGO. Today, Miraval is both the same and different as it was my first trip. For one thing, the spa has changed ownership—it’s now part of the Hyatt company. For another, projects that were in the works during former visits are now complete, including a beautiful, Zeninfused spa building with expansive views of the Catalina Mountains. It’s hard to beat the experience of gazing at that view while cocooned in a robe and on a chaise lounge. Then there’s the elaborate series of waterfalls and trickling brooks that lull you with their serenity wherever you stroll. The restorative power of water—and Mother Nature in general—is everywhere here.

That speaks to what is the same about Miraval: It is a place for self-discovery, which is a big part of its attraction for repeat spa-goers. Each visit brings new opportunities for growth. While Miraval has the

usual mix of relaxing treatments and go-go exercises, it is also known for an astounding array of spiritual offerings like Shamanic healing and intuitive massage, experiences we might not be inclined to participate in at home (even if we could find them). But the ambience at Miraval—nestled amid desert mountains that reflect other-worldly yellows, oranges and pinks depending on the time of day—coaxes you to look both inward at who you want to be and outward at the inspiring wonders of our world.

The key to maximizing a spa vacation is balance, and that is one of Miraval’s catchphrases, ‘living a life in balance.’ While there, you will want to experience it all—exercise classes, spa treatments, relaxation and workshops offered by various practitioners. The new spa director, Carl Pratt, spent more than a decade on staff at nearby Canyon Ranch, and he compares the two like this: “At Canyon Ranch, it’s more about go-gogo, and here, it’s stop.” As in stop and smell the roses, and take time to reflect on life and your priorities.

So in that spirit, I planned a three-night stay with one of my daughters. I recommend coming with a

close friend or relative; there is something special about sharing the experience and processing your revelations with someone close. Singles are welcome, but I didn’t encounter many on this trip. What I did notice was more diversity in the guest population than ever before. There were women, and men, of every size, age and shape, and more couples than in the past.

Naturally, guests who come together won’t necessarily go to the same classes. While I opted for 7 a.m. Yoga Stretch, my daughter and other brave souls did a trail run through the desert (complete with animal spottings: coyote, rattlesnake, roadrunners and quail).

There are two or three offerings every hour, from 7 a.m. to sundown. Among my favorites was Capoeira Dance, 45 minutes of cardio via Brazilian dance moves that make you totally forget you’re exercising (and that your knees might not be up to that much swiveling!).

The Sonoran Desert Walking Tour is another fun one—and much more sedate (if a bit steamy in 103 degree heat), since all it requires is following guide Andrew Wolf around the grounds as he points out interesting desert minutiae. Like the chiltepin chili,

THE SERENE BODY MINDFULNESS CENTER POOL

a tiny red pepper he called the progenitor of all chili peppers today. Doubters just have to suck on one of the tiny berries and wait about 20 seconds for the heat to be released. Warning: spit it out directly onto the ground, not into your hands.

Most classes are included in the daily spa cost, which can range from about $800 down to around $480, depending on whether you find a seasonal promotion. I’ve visited in February, March and May, and each was beautiful. May can start getting a bit hot, but only the middle of the day is uncomfortable, and even that is the proverbial ‘dry heat,’ which many don’t mind. The nice thing about the desert clime is that once the sun is on the wane, the heat entirely subsides—no humidity hangs in the air—and you’re left with 60 to 70 degrees from about 5 p.m. to 10 a.m. I’ve also been told the stormy season, July, is spectacular, with fierce storms and lightning over the mountains that last only a short while and provide quite the show.

Most packages wisely incorporate a spa ‘allowance’ in the daily rate, so guests will be more inclined to try classes and treatments beyond the usual. I accrued

PREPPING GUACAMOLE

ENTERING THE LIFE IN BALANCE SPA

FLOWERING PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS

... THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT SHARING THE EXPERIENCE AND PROCESSING YOUR REVELATIONS WITH SOMEONE CLOSE. $150 a day to spend as I chose. So while I might not normally treat myself to a $240 Deep Desert Massage, the ‘account balance’ was there to spend!

There is also a large roster of personal growth courses like Mirror of the Soul and Native American Meditation & Healing, as well as private sessions in everything from exercise physiology and photography to Astrology and Tibetan Chakra Balancing. Many exotic offerings are introduced in 45-minute group settings so you can sample them before booking private sessions.

Meals, a big part of any vacation, are much-anticipated here. Not only because the food is fresh and plentiful, but because the dining area faces magnificent mountain views and a foreground of lush cholla, saguaro, mesquite, ocotillo, yucca and prickly pear, with something always in bloom. Menu options for breakfast and lunch are complemented by opulent buffets; you can’t believe spa food could be this good. And dinner is a four-course affair of items like Prickly Pear Glazed Berkshire Pork Tenderloin with Chile Dusted Pecan Slaw and Maple Charred Watermelon. Don’t miss the salted caramel ice cream with chocolate chunks, if it’s offered. Yes, there are rich desserts at the spa; remember, it’s all about balance.

[ WHAT’ S IN YOUR ATTIC?] by karyn williams

THE TREASURE 〉〉 Wedgwood cream pitcher THE STORY 〉〉 My husband received this Wedgwood creamer from his grandmother.

I’m assuming it was part of a set. Inside the small pitcher was a note indicating she had bought it years ago at an antique shop, and it had a ‘high monetary value.’ I know the piece is well over 50 years old, but I have no idea if it’s worth anything other than the memories it holds.

WHAT THE PROFESSIONALS SAY 〉〉 Wedgwood is one of the most popular

VALUE 〉〉 Wedgwood is still sought after by many in the decorative arts world. The

deep blue color of this piece is highly prized among jasperware collectors. One could find an item like this in a fine antique shop with a price tag ranging from $100 to $200.

names in decorative table items. Since the mid-18th century, the Wedgwood Company has featured works in palaces and museums across the world, showcasing the ingenuity and aesthetic sensibility of English craftsmen. This charming little cream pitcher features a Roman motif of women and cherubs, or putti, and it bears the stamps ‘Wedgwood’ and ‘England,’ dating the item to around the year 1900.

What are some of the best things about this city?

St. Louis is very affordable.

There are so many free amenities like parks, museums and the zoo.

It’s a lot of fun with kids. Plus, the restaurant scene is really impressive.

What is your favorite room in your house?

We have an open floor plan, so our kitchen opens to a playroom on one side and formal dining room on the other. That part of the house is my favorite. The kitchen is very bright and active.

If you could have your dream home, where would it be, and what would it look like?

My dream home would be on a lake with indoor/outdoor living and great spaces for entertaining. A really large, lakeside deck would be the perfect place to gather. The home would be very modern with a lot of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Where do you like to vacation?

Everywhere. We always like to go to new places and rarely return to a city we’ve already visited. We just like to explore different parts of the world.

What do you like to do in your leisure time?

Read. Most of the time, my life is just go, go, go. So when I have downtime, I read all kinds of things: fiction, nonfiction and even The National Enquirer—anything and everything!

If this weren’t your profession, what else might you have done?

I would have been a restaurateur or maybe a computer programmer.

My dream is to run an active farm that hosts dinners.

What is your favorite movie/book?

I’ll go with The Lord of the Rings movies. I love epics and their neverending stories. I would love to sit down on a winter day and watch every one of the movies from beginning to end. That would be more than 9 hours in front of the TV. It would be great!

HOMEWORK]

DEAR HOMEWORK,

We have been living here since 1995 and would like ideas on how to change our home’s appearance, especially the front porch. The landscaping is also getting old.

Thanks for any ideas.

Sincerely, —SHOULD WE PITCH THE PORCH

DEAR SHOULD WE PITCH THE PORCH,

Let me begin by complimenting your beautifully trimmed landscaping. It’s the best I’ve seen all year! That said, I think there are a number of things we could do to update the look of your home’s architecture. The issue is that your façade is composed of four symmetrical elements that are all pushed together without really meshing (though only three are shown in the photo).

The element that includes the entry and living room windows, which should be the most prominent, is actually the least noticeable since it’s hidden by the low porch. Removing the porch only would help a little. This part of the house needs to be architecturally more impressive to ‘balance’ the total composition.

To that end, I have made this portion one-half story taller. This helps blend in the roof from the bedroom wing and also helps mask the ’70s split-level style of the residence. A tall chimney element and projecting masonry pier add some needed architectural ‘oomph’ to the project, and will make the living room a much more elegant space.

I’ve left the beautiful hedge alone and just added a few plantings for color and variety. I removed the existing oval bed of liriope in the middle of the lawn. It makes the somewhat narrow front lawn seem even smaller and serves no aesthetic purpose.
