from the editor's desk Farmer’s market etiquette—is there such a thing? That is what I have been wondering since going to the Tower Grove market on Saturdays. In theory, it’s the ideal way to purchase provisions. You buy food directly from the person(s) who grew it (or in the case of jams and salsas, etc., made it), so it’s fresher and requires less gas/carbon emissions en route to your table.

And you kind of get to ‘set a spell’ at the market, since most vendors are eager to tell you about what they do and how they do it. (If you’re more of a slam-bam-thank-you-ma’am shopper, this can be a downside, too.)

Personally, I go for the amazing quality (and the free samples).

You can’t beat tomatoes picked yesterday by the grungy organic farmer dude unloading them from the back of his truck. Or whole wheat pita from the little Lebanese grandma whose sons baked it early that morning at their Dogtown plant. Before I pinched those pitas for freshness (through the bag, of course), that food item ranked barely a step above matzoh in my book.

But while you get top quality provisions, the face-to-face nature of these transactions can create some issues. If you accept a food sample (which are omnipresent), should you feel obliged to make a purchase? And what happens when you buy a dozen eggs from one vendor, and then you see better eggs—say from non GMO-fed hens—in another stall? You can’t exactly change them out like at Trader Joe’s. I guess you just have to weigh the pros and cons: convenience and coupons on the one hand, freshness and carbon footprint on the other. It’s really not much of a contest.

RURAL PARISH WORKERS by alexa beattie

THEY LIVE IN OLD TRAILERS AND RUDIMENTARY ONE-ROOM DWELLINGS. Sometimes, a

school bus provides a home. Often, they don’t have electricity to light their lamps; their water comes from a well. Cadet, Mo. is a dirt-poor community barely an hour from St. Louis. Once mined for rich deposits of lead and chalky barite, this is known as the ‘Old Mines’ area of Washington County. It has the highest rate of unemployment in the state.

For more than 74 years, however, an organization called Rural Parish Workers of Christ the King has watched over the poverty-stricken community, living among its people and helping to provide food, shelter and clothing to those in need. The four women workers—director Natalie Villmer, Doris Ann Bequette, Neva Calvert and Monica Pashia—form a secular group of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. They have taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, and live by the Rule of St. Benedict. They are supported in their mission by the Archdiocese and an organization in St. Louis called Friends of the Rural Parish Workers. Each year, with the help of the Friends, the workers meet the basic needs of more than 3,000 Washington County residents. “The place is economically devastated,” says Cathy Inkley, one of the 45 friends who have raised more than $300,000 for the cause in the past five years.

The Friends group’s biggest fundraiser is its annual fashion show, now in its 49th year. Since 2006, West County Center has supported the show, which highlights fall fashions for men, women and children from the center’s stores like Altar’d State, Banana Republic, Dress Barn, Evereve, Gap, GapKids and Macy’s. “It’s a fantastic event,” says Sean Phillips, fashion blogger and regional marketing director for CBL & Associates Properties, who produces the show. “It’s very important for West County Center as a community partner to get involved in charitable events for good causes. The Rural Parish Workers is one of those.”

Phillips promises glitz: lights, big screens, videos and the flashbulbs of paparazzi. In discussing what guests will see on the event’s catwalk, he wears his fashion blogger hat. “Distressed denim is big this year,” he says. “Animal prints, velvet, sweaters and layering long tops. Olive green is the new neutral for fall. And the best thing is, you can go to the mall right away and buy what you’ve seen.” The show’s models are all people involved with the Friends in some way, and Inkley, now one of this year’s three event chairs, served as a model 29 years ago. “I wore a pink knit dress,” she remembers. “It was a glamorous affair.” The show takes place at The Ritz-Carlton on Oct. 7.

She says you can reach Cadet by going 40 miles south on MO-21 and turning off onto MO-CC. You know you’ve arrived because the little stone sign says Rural Parish Workers. An old plantation house serves as the workers’ office—a welcoming, homey place where the local inhabitants don’t just come for help, but to help. It’s that sense of community, Inkley says, that makes the place so special. “Even if a person has nothing, they sometimes want to be the ones to give. Everyone helps out here, and that restores faith and rebuilds dignity.” The people of Old Mines may not have riches, she adds, but they do have hearts of gold.

THE[IN]SIDER

PATTY d e h s a e unl

BY PATTY HANNUM

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

Kudos to local author JUDITH HENNESSEY, whose novel First Rodeo is on Redbook magazine's list of Best New Fall Books. The book is Hennessey's first novel and part of a grouping called The Spur Series. The St. Louis launch is set for Oct. 8 with a book-signing at Barnes & Noble in Ladue.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? The question

often is asked indignantly, but it also happens to be the name of a pretty popular TV series on TLC that follows celebrities—and I use that term loosely—as they trace their family’s past. Each path to America is unique, and this show pulls those stories together in a quick 60 minutes.

My family, like all families, has stories, some true, many not. Family lore includes our greatgrandfather emigrating from Ireland, landing in St. Louis and becoming a police officer. And a great– uncle involved in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, not on the law-abiding side. Then there were two great-grandfathers falling off ladders and dying from those injuries, the irony being neither of them was involved in the family roofing business. And a buggy accident on the Eads Bridge that killed two other great-grandparents. Anyway, with technology on my side, I decided it would be interesting to separate fact from fiction. So, with some help from my friend Jody Jones, who owns Beyond Your Tree Genealogy, I was ready.

I decided to start on my dad’s side of the family with ancestry.com. I found my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother. Then I found her parents, eventually tracing them all to Ireland. What was clear is that everyone married someone else who was Irish, and we weren’t very original with names. You were either John, Patrick, Catharine or Anne. But I was getting nowhere with my great-grandfather, the one who gave us our surname, Fitzgerald. Maybe that’s because he never used the same name on any two documents! Yes, my great-grandfather, the police officer, obviously did not see the benefit of listing his name the same exact way twice.

Was he John Patrick Fitzgerald, Patrick Fitzgerald, Pat Fitzgerald? And why did none of the documents show who his parents were? The beauty of ancestry.com is you can find nearly anything. But I could not find anything about the man who gave me the last name I’d used for 23 years. I searched newspaper clippings confirming he was a St. Louis police officer. The census showed he lived in St. Louis with his wife and kids, but where did he come from?

Then I realized, after spending hours trying to find the ‘beginning’ of Patrick Fitzgerald, that maybe his ‘beginning’ started here in St. Louis when he married Catharine Noonan. Maybe who he was in Ireland really didn’t matter—it was who he became in St. Louis that did. As his great-granddaughter, I am happy he was given a chance to start over in this country because without him there would be no me. I decided I’d leave Pat Fitzgerald alone and focus on family members who can be found, like the spy from the Revolutionary War on my mother’s side. That guy at least had the courtesy to have it written on his tombstone.

they inevitably get stopped by Tigers fans. Her husband Bryan wears a needlepoint SEC belt featuring the logos of all 14 SEC schools. Her son Eric, a 2016 graduate of Mizzou, wears a blackand-gold Mizzou one. Pam toiled on both belts for hours when she was making them, and fans want to know where they can get their own.

Wingbermuehle proudly tells them about Sign of the Arrow—referred to by some as the ‘needlepoint belt capital of the world.’ However, there’s never enough time to tell them the store’s whole story. The shop on Clayton Road is far more than its custom belts, its rainbow of yarns or its gift shop. Sign of the Arrow is about community.

The not-for-profit store was opened 50 years ago by the St. Louis Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi to improve their fundraising efforts. Their mission has been successful. Sign of the Arrow has donated more than $3.6 million to 183 different charities since its inception. “To me, what is amazing is that we’ve been able to give away money every year—even the first year,” says Peg Sant’Ambrogio, chairman of the store’s 50th anniversary committee and a volunteer for about 16 years. “It’s a tribute to the original women who started it and others who have kept it going.”

Today, 80 community members volunteer their time to staff the shop. An extensive selection of designer needlepoint canvases, yarns and classes keep customers returning. And its unique not-forprofit stature attracts a customer base of its own.

Only about half the volunteers these days are sorority members of Pi Beta Phi, and not all of them know how to needlepoint. They are drawn together through the shop’s mission. “Some people like to needlepoint but others just want to volunteer their time for a good cause,” Sant’Ambrogio says. “I didn’t needlepoint when I started here. But I had so many customers coming in and asking questions I thought, ‘I need to take a beginner class.’ Now, I don’t feel right if I’m not working on a project.”

Sign of the Arrow is now at its third location on Clayton Road since opening in 1966. They had hoped their new, larger location would lead to an increase in what they are able to give back. For the past two years, it has done just that. As the money given to charities has increased, the ladies running the shop have noticed another important trend: young people are getting involved.

Needlepoint is becoming increasingly popular among 20- to 30-year-olds, who are deciding they like gifting something handcrafted to their friends and family. Even high schoolers and recent college graduates can be found behind the counter in the store. And those running Sign of the Arrow say they hope interest grows as they increase their online presence with a website and social media accounts. If their plan works, they expect to have even more to celebrate in their next 50 years.

“Needlepoint is coming back into popularity,” says Wingbermuehle, president of Sign of the Arrow. “You can get ready-made gifts, but there is not that sense of accomplishment or pride. I think social media and the internet has brought Sign of the Arrow to the forefront with the 20- to 30-year-old sector. As they get older, I think they are ready to carry on our traditions.”

SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1966, SIGN OF THE ARROW HAS DONATED MORE THAN $3.6 MILLION TO CHARITIES IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. IT IS THE AREA’S PREMIER NEEDLEPOINT STORE AND HAS AN EXTENSIVE GIFT SHOP.

SSM Health

Medical Group,

Rock Hill

Offering a lifetime of care

PHOTO BY BILL BARRETT

enerations ago, people went to the family doctor. He tended to all their medical needs, and those of their family through all stages of life. He knew them on a personal level and had a complete history of their issues, conditions and care. Alhough that kind of medical relationship is a rarity in today’s more compartmentalized system, SSM Health Medical Group in Rock Hill is making a return to this type of practice. Its three primary physicians--Dr. Kate Endicott, Dr. Anne Jacob and Dr. Katy Liu--are all board-certified in Family Medicine with Obstetrics, allowing them to serve patients from pediatrics through geriatrics, including full maternity care.

“We are family doctors who can follow patients throughout their life stages,” says Dr. Endicott. “We believe when you take care of entire families, you can better understand the context of people’s health within their lives. If I understand the health of your husband, your kids and your parents, I can better take care of you.”

This approach is part of a nationwide movement to expand primary care.

SSM understands the growing needs of women who are seeking a more natural approach to childcare, including treating pregnancy as a normal part of the life cycle as opposed to a condition that needs a specialized practice.

SSM Health Medical Group

provides a one-stop shop for mothers and babies, as well as children as they grow and move through adolescence into adulthood. It’s a true medical ‘home’ for patients of all ages.

The two-year-old practice emphasizes preventive care, seeing patients at least once a year for physicals, vaccines or regular screening tests. In addition to performing regular obstetrical procedures, the physicians work with patients to discuss family planning options and to see them through.

“Family medicine offers the unique opportunity to treat the person as a whole, both by managing the medical condition that brought them to the clinic, and also by addressing health promotion and disease prevention in context to their background, social network and family,” says Dr. Jacob.

If I understand the health of your husband, your kids and your parents, I can better take care of you

While the physicians of SSM Health Medical Group fully embrace 21st century tools like electronic health records and MyChart to keep things organized and stay in close touch with patients, they merge these with time-tested models, like that of the traditional family physician, to provide better coordinated care and a more personal experience.

“What I love about being a family doctor is the privilege of caring for entire families and having the medical training to help them ‘connect the dots’ regarding their health,” says Dr. Liu. “It is my desire to provide patients a safe place to discuss and learn about their health conditions and illnesses, to have their acute and chronic problems treated in context, and to empower them with skills to better care for themselves throughout the years.”

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty and/or puppy, puppy, puppy: Solid Gold Pet is moving from Greenville, S.C., to Chesterfield. Do cats and dogs care that we’re an ag-tech hub? Only to the bottom of the bowl. But if they had the capacity to think about nutrition—and who’s saying they don’t—felines and canines might be pleased to know the company is dedicated to holistic nutrition, and that company officials are happy to be moving closer to its manufacturing and supply-chain base.

At the outset, Solid Gold will create about two dozen jobs here, and the company expects to be moved in by late this month. In eye-catching, stylized product packaging—and with names such as ‘Barking at the Moon’ (a combo of beef, eggs and peas … no grain)— Solid Gold markets itself through clutter in the aisle.

The products are available online and at select retailers.

Do you have trouble digesting gluten? Fido just may, too. Formulations are available that are grain- and gluten-free. The Guv is pleased, but not surprised; Jay Nixon says the Kansas City ‘animal health corridor’ (well, that runs from Manhattan, Kansas, to Columbia, Missouri) is responsible for more than 56 percent of animal-health research, diagnostics and pet-food sales.

Pet-food giant Purina is here, and county officials noted that like companies tend to cluster. Solid gold incentives from the state, county and city sweetened the deal for the firm. Add a slobbery ‘Woof’ from us.

With all that’s going on in downtown Clayton, this is a CREW you might like to be pulling for: Commercial Real Estate Women. An association program on developments in the county seat features Mayor Harold J. Sanger discussing current and planned developments in Clayton. It will be held at Varsity Tutors from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20. Mayor Sanger will update the gathering on Centene’s ambitious plans as well as, we surmise, what’s on tap for the old Schnucks site on the south side of the city. Varsity Tutors is also expected to report on the organization’s new build-out of its Clayton office, 101 S. Hanley Road, Suite 300. And we’d certainly like to know how things are progressing with Chapman Plaza, proposed for the top of the hill of Shaw Park, at the north edge bordering Forsyth Boulevard. Hey, you at the back of the room? There’s a $40 charge for CREW members, $50 for non-members, which includes hors d’oeuvres and cocktails during the networking reception that opens the event.

Ten feet by 20 feet: is it possible that if the global population continues growing at an exponential rate, one day this will be the average size of a public park? We hope not!

SWT Design and the City of Maplewood on Friday (Sept. 16) will ‘reclaim’ a parking space in

the 7900 block of Manchester for PARK(ing) Day, an annual worldwide event where artists, designers and citizens transform parking spots into temporary public parks. Some are metered, e.g. in NYC and L.A., giving cause to wonder about tickets. This is a real thing, dear reader. It occurs the third Friday in September.

Missed it in 2015 and/or before? Maybe you blinked when you drove by the installation across the street in Maplewood last year. Here, and in most other spots around the world, participants unrolled a 10 by 20-ishfoot swath of Astroturf within the lines that define a curbside parking spot … one, single, solitary parking space. In some cases, real grass—sod—went atop the pavement. (Real grass takes so dang long, much more than 24 hours, to sprout.) This quirky observance has given groups worldwide an opportunity to reimagine public spaces. Some had badminton nets, others had croquet setups. There were park benches, of course, and three-piece combos, a seesaw, and many potted trees and other plants. And golf—miniature golf, to be sure. Just not all together on the same space. I may never whine again about how hard it is to parallel park … and not even grumble so much about coughing up change for the meter next time.

some paint and brushes, for ‘Paint Your Parks IV’ in the county parks system—St. Charles County parks, that is.

Through Oct. 31, artists may use watercolor, watercolor pencils, oils, oil pastels, the aforementioned gouache technique, or acrylics to paint in one of the following 11 parks: ■ Bangert Island Park ■ Broemmelsiek Park ■ College Meadows Park ■ Heritage Park ■ Hideaway Harbor Park ■ Indian Camp Creek Park ■ Klondike Park ■ Matson Hill Park ■ Quail Ridge Park ■ Towne Park ■ Youth Activity Park Now, if you can’t find a suitable scene in a park with as romantic a name as Hideaway Harbor, well, there’s no art instruction that could help you. Juror Linda Wilmes, award-winning local plein air painter, will select three submissions for awards; one purchase prize of $1,000 and two honorable mentions of $250 will be awarded

ST. CHARLES

En plein air doesn’t always mean painting outside in the balmy south of France; it even happens out in St. Charles County. And anyone over 18 from Missouri or Illinois can join in. Bring your gouache equipment, or maybe just

at a reception on Thursday, Nov. 10. So, pick your park and start painting it. On a suitable surface such as paper or canvas, please. We seem to have read somewhere between the lines that graffiti will not be accepted. The reception will be held at co-sponsor Foundry Art Centre, a fine arts gallery overlooking the Missouri River at 520 N. Main St. The not-for-profit gallery complex features

COVER STORY

PHOTO BY BILL BARRETT

THEIR DAY] FRIENDS OF KIDS WITH CANCER by alexa beattie FRIENDS OF KIDS WITH CANCER IS IN THE BUSINESS OF JOY; and often, it comes

from the simplest places—a toy closet, say, or a pot of bright paint. The nonprofit was started in 1992 with a mission of enriching the daily lives of children who are either undergoing treatment for cancer, or who have survived it. Through its educational, recreational and emotional programs at St. John’s Mercy, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon and St. Louis Children’s hospitals, it addresses needs otherwise unmet by medical treatments. “The doctors attend to the patients’ medical needs.

But we address the emotional well-being of the whole family,” says executive director Judy Ciapciak.

Conceived and founded by ‘Dr. Bob’ Bergamini, developmental specialist Jill Turec and parents Molly Henry and Suzie Snowden, it is an approach that aims to serve the whole child. The educational program provides tutoring, testing and scholarships for survivors and patients, while the emotional program uses art and play therapies, as well as psychological services, to address feelings and empower children. The recreational component provides uplifting relief from the daily challenges of fighting their disease. “It began with a simple question,” Turec says. “How do we better the lives of children and families who are suffering in this way?” Realizing that children in treatment are robbed of so many special moments, the group set out to find ways to build self-esteem and improve quality of life. “Our aim is to help kids with cancer be kids,” Ciapciak explains.

The nonprofit’s major fundraiser is its annual Fashion Show, which takes place

this year on Nov. 10. All models are children in treatment. “This is such an important event,” explains Ciapciak. “When they are sick and pale and don’t feel pretty, the show lifts the gray sadness from their faces and replaces it with beauty. It might as well be the Academy Awards.”

Carolyn Gertsch can speak to the immeasurable value of the event because her daughter Cora, 15, has been both a model and a speaker at the event. “I weep to see it,” she says. “I know what they are going through … how hard it is for some of these children to get up on that catwalk.” Cora has been free of optic glioma for the past three years but took part in the show during the worst of times. “It’s not easy to find joy when you’re in the midst of an illness like this, but the children pick out their own clothes and have their hair and makeup done. They are on top of the world.”

Gertsch says the organization remains a central part of their family’s life. Not only does Cora receive the ongoing support of an art therapist, but Gertsch attends Friends of Kids moms’ events, where she has formed close friendships with other mothers of sick or deceased children. “We know what each other is going through,” she says.

There will be 30 models at this year’s show, which takes place both during the day, and again at night, at The Ritz-Carlton. “The show is a way to celebrate how beautiful these children are—on the inside and on the outside,” Gertsch says. “It’s a wonderful thing.”

JUST AS THE CHANGE IN SEASONS requires a different

wardrobe, it also calls for different beauty products. In hot weather, less is more: lighter creams, scents and layers of makeup. Now, as we head toward the bluster of autumnal winds and cold snaps, our faces need fortification. Bring on

the serums, followed by the dense creams. And if the warm weather had you skipping a step or two—omitting your eye cream and forgetting to give the lips a little love—it’s time to get back to your more thorough beauty routine. The following products are some of our favorites.

MARA HOFFMAN FOR SEPHORA KALEIDESCAPE LIP GLOSS MINI MAKEUP BAG

SISLEY SOAPLESS GENTLE FOAMING BAR NECK CREAM

True, you have to start with great skin, but then you must add color to adorn the blank canvas. NYC designer Mara Hoffman partners with Sephora for the cutest little lipgloss set in versatile nude shades. They, and the coordinating ‘escapader’ bag, bear her colorful patterns.

The Parisian line Sisley has been the gold standard of skincare for decades. You can’t go wrong with its gentle face bar to remove the day’s invisible grime (the bar lasts all year). The neck cream firms this sensitive area and improves skin texture.

SOAP, $100 NECK CREAM, $180 AVAILABLE AT NORDSTROM AND NEIMAN MARCUS

LIP SET, $28 BAG, $20 AVAILABLE AT SEPHORA

B DERMELECT COSMECEUTICALS OUTCREASE RETINOL TRIFECTA SERUM

If you do nothing else, use a retinol serum to seal in moisture twice a day. This oil contains three forms of retinol, plus vitamin E to offer a light oil masque that makes the face feel and look baby soft. $39 AVAILABLE AT SOFT SURROUNDINGS

FALL

BEAUTY

BY RICK STOFF

Summer is a lot harder on our bodies than we realize. All that time outdoors means too much sun (a notorious skin-ager) and for many, too much activity. All those golf and tennis days can take a toll on your legs. Fall is a good time to reset, to give your body a little TLC.

FACE MAINTENANCE Your delicate face likely took a beating during summer. But if you lavish it with extra vitamins and emollients, and follow the advice of your skincare professional, it can be party-perfect for all those holiday get-togethers!

Restore the Skin \

“As we age, we naturally lose collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid from the skin. Sunlight accelerates that process,” says Dr. Brock Ridenour, a facial plastic surgeon at Ridenour Plastic Surgery. “In the fall we should be thinking about restoring the skin qualities we would like to see.”

The best way to do that is with a good daily regimen, says Carol Anderson, R.N., a certified aesthetic nurse specialist who operates Nouveau, A Boutique Medspa. “The most important

SA F E

things are good cleansing habits and skin care products that have clean, quality ingredients,” she says, advising daily doses of vitamins A and C. “For a good, healthy moisturizer, look at the list of ingredients,” she advises. “If petroleum is at the top of the list, it is going to keep the key ingredients from absorbing. For vitamin A, she recommends Retin-A. “Go directly to retinoic acid,” she says, “and your vitamin C product should contain at least 20 percent pure L-ascorbic.”

Fall Check-Up \

Ridenour says summer sun exposure may have left spots on the skin that can now be addressed. “One of the most popular and effective things we can do is apply intense pulse light (IPL) or broadband light (BBL),” he suggests. “These machines deliver a high-powered output of light in a spectrum of wavelengths that tend to be absorbed by things that are brown and red. That means broken veins and capillaries around the face and brown age spots.”

Heat from the light sources seals the small broken veins and breaks up brown spot pigments. A laser resurfacing also can rejuvenate the skin, he says. “These kinds of lasers are absorbed by water at the skin surface and create heat that prompts the body’s healing response,” he explains. “As we age, we gradually lose collagen and elastin fibers but the body doesn’t know it needs to

Scheduled Maintenance

\

Facials will take skin cleansing and hydration to another level. “A good aesthetician is going to clean out the pores and help keep your skin at a pH level where the ingredients you apply are going to absorb better,” Anderson says. “A good facial consists of a deep cleanse; some masking, massaging and toning; and an assessment of whether you need additional hydration or exfoliation. You also could have lip and eye treatments. Once a month is a good pattern. The cost is $85 to $125.”

A chemical peel goes a step further, she says. “A peel is exfoliating and takes layers of dead skin off the surface. If you did a peel once a quarter that would be sufficient.” The philosophy of peeling has evolved, she says. “We used to do really deep chemical peels. Now we do light and moderate peels that get really good results.”

FILLERS You know the term, ‘soft as a baby’s bottom’? In a way, that’s what you want

repair those. The laser peels are a wonderful way of tricking the body into performing the repair process.”

for your face. With age, the face becomes more sunken as fat deposits disappear, leaving too many angles and not enough

plumptitude!

When Fat is Good \

“With age the skin loses its thickness and suppleness,” says Dr. Michele Koo, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Kirkwood. “The lines of the face look harder and angled.” While thin is in, that is not what you want in your face. That explains the popularity of fillers—Juvederm, Restylane, collagen, and other injectables that plump-up those hollows. “Fillers fill in lines and creases to create a softer and more youthful face,” Koo notes.

They add suppleness to the overall appearance.”

Or, as Dr. Joseph A. Muccini Jr., explains it, “They fill wherever a defect is, whether that defect is lost volume, a line or deeper crease that needs to be pushed out, or small lines close to the surface of the skin.” Muccini is a board-certified dermatologist at MidAmerica Skin Health & Vitality Center in Chesterfield.

Fillers, A Good Fit \

Muccini’s office typically keeps five to seven various fillers on hand, he says. The majority are based on hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found throughout the body. “Hyaluronic acids pull hydration into the area where they are placed, so there is a plumping effect,” he says. “Then the body wants to lay down some of its own material, and you get some collagen remodeling.”

The products vary by effects and placement, he explains. “One category is intended for deep-filling or volume repair, for example if your cheeks have become hollowed out,” he notes. “A superficial filler would be for thin lines or delicate places such as the boundary between the red lip and the white lip.

The nasolabial folds, from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, are good places for medium fillers.”

Bang for the Buck

\

“The nasolabial folds are extremely amenable to fillers, as are the marionette lines below the corners of the mouth,” Koo says.

“These deep creases make a face look gaunt and drawn.”

Fillers also can minimize acne scars and are a popular treatment for thinning lips.

“Lip injections can create slightly fuller lips that are very naturalappearing,” Koo says, “which can soften the entire look of a face.”

Lips, in particular, can become problematic with age. “First, you lose volume,” says Muccini. “Then, you lose a youthful definition of the contours between the part of the lip that is pink and the white outside. Third, you lose volume in the mid-face.”

How long will filler treatments last?

“The longevity depends on which filler is used, anywhere from six months to 18 months,” Koo says. Typically treatments range from $500 to $700, and the technology continues to evolve, adds Muccini.

The Power Pair \

For some facial procedures, fillers are paired with products containing botulinum toxins (Botox) that paralyze muscles. “We would use botulinum in those places where you have wrinkles that are caused by facial action, like where you crinkle your eyes when you squint or smile, or where it looks like you are scowling and have a mean, furrowing brow,” Muccini explains.

Some patients mistakenly believe botulinum products are fillers because they have heard them discussed together, he says.

“They often are part of the same conversation because they are used for defects that have a combination of features such as volume loss plus wrinkles.”

VEINS Gone are the days when women covered their legs with hosiery. Bare legs are everywhere, and on women of every age—which makes it all the more important to, uh, put your best leg forward. That means unsightly, visible veins have to go. Fortunately, we have options—lots of them

Get a Leg Up \

“Women want any vein problems to be taken care of. That is why the spider vein procedure is the No. 1 cosmetic surgery,” says Dr. Mark Blumenthal, a vascular surgeon at the Vein Center & CosMed. Spider veins are the small, thin and blue blood vessels that can be seen under the skin, most often on the legs. Though their appearance can be troubling, they usually are harmless and removal is considered a cosmetic procedure.

“The appearance of these veins has something to do with gravity, but we don’t know exactly why they happen,” Blumenthal says.

Dr. Norman N. Bein, a vascular surgeon and registered vascular technician at Vein Specialties, says pregnancy can be one of the culprits. “Veins dilate due to hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy,” he says.

Out, Damn Spots! \

“There is no laser that works well on spider veins. The only way to treat them is sclerotherapy,” says Blumenthal. That means injecting them with a chemical that causes the vein to essentially shrivel.

“Then blood can’t get into them and the body absorbs the tiny, leftover cord.” The chemical is injected through a tiny needle that elicits scarcely a flinch from patients, Blumenthal says.

Facing Other Issues \

Spider veins also can appear on the face, where they might become troublesome. “We see a fair amount of wind and sun damage in the Midwest, so we see a lot of spider veins on the cheek and nose,” Bein says. “Men, in particular, come in for those, especially when they are looking for work and are concerned that a potential employer will think they are alcoholic.”

Then there are varicose veins, visible threads that are thick and protruding, which are another matter entirely, Bein says. “Varicose veins are a superficial manifestation of an underlying problem called chronic venous insufficiency. These can lead to ulcers of the leg, blood clots and spontaneous bleeding.” Bein says varicose veins merit evaluation by someone with training in vascular surgery. “Your insurance company recognizes varicose veins as a medical problem, and as a rule will cover the treatment.”

This condition is believed to be hereditary and result from problems with valves that help blood overcome gravity on the return trip to the heart and lungs. “There are 20 valves from the ankle to the groin. When these do not work there is high pressure down the leg and that can cause heaviness, tiredness, aching, cramping and restless leg,” Bein says.

Varicose veins are removed through a minimally invasive procedure, he explains. “We do a local anesthetic and use a needle stick to reach in with a specially designed tiny hook that removes the vein. There are no stitches and the results are fabulous.”

Lash Extensions—

E X T E N D YOUR BEAUTY "Eyelash extensions can take the eyes to another level of beauty and minimize the morning mirror ritual,” says Angela Horwitz, owner of CleanSpa in Chesterfield, which recently added extensions to its services. Current extensions are made of synthetic mink fur that is attached to existing eyelashes. A typical initial application requires 90 minutes with a certified aesthetician, Horwitz says, “but you can wear them three to four weeks depending on your activities."

HEAL +H [FLASH by alexa beattie

» before the fall

Researchers from the UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI have found sensors that measure in-home gait speed and stride length can predict the likelihood of falls. Each year, millions of people—especially those age 65 and older—suffer from falls, which can result in broken bones, head injuries and even death.

“We have developed a non-wearable sensor system that can measure walking patterns,” says MARJORIE SKUBIC, director of the Center for Eldercare and Rehabilitation Technology.

“Assessment of these functions is improving coordinated healthcare for older adults.” Results from an analysis of sensor system data found that a gait speed decline of 5 centimeters per second was associated with an 86.3 percent probability of falling within the following three weeks.

Researchers from the Center for the Study of Itch at WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE have identified immune system irregularities that may prompt the need to scratch. To perform the study, researchers took blood and skin samples from four patients suffering from chronic itch and analyzed them for immune problems. “They found ‘an incredible amount of dysfunction,’” says DR. BRIAN S. KIM, assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Dermatology.

“As doctors, we throw antihistamines and ointments at patients with chronic itch, but if there’s something profoundly abnormal in the immune system, we can’t solve the itching until we address the underlying causes,” Kim says. Because most people with this type of chronic itching tend to be older, Kim suggests it could be caused by general wear and tear of the immune system. He adds it may be too soon to draw conclusions.

In trying to determine the best route to heart health in overweight people, SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY researchers have found that modest weight loss provides powerful protection against cardiovascular disease regardless of how that loss is achieved, according to EDWARD WEISS, associate professor of nutrition and dietetics.

By dividing 52 overweight, middle-aged people into three groups (diet only, exercise only and both) and charging them with losing about 7 percent of their body weight over 12 to 14 weeks, they were able to analyze how the changes affected indicators of heart health (blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol levels). While dieting and exercising (together) was no better than dieting or exercising alone, Weiss says the three strategies were equally effective in improving cardiovascular health and reducing the lifetime risk of developing heart disease by 10 percent. The findings were published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

In search of genetic clues to autism spectrum disorder, researchers at WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE are launching a study that looks at grandmothers.

Because the disorder has a strong genetic basis, its incidence may be higher in the grandchildren of women who have had a child with autism than in the population as a whole. “We want to better understand how to support families and advance our knowledge about the risks of inheriting the disorder,” says DR. NATASHA MARRUS, assistant professor of child psychiatry. “A key question will be whether girls carry a genetic susceptibility to autism even if they don’t have the symptoms themselves. That could mean they pass along risk to their children, male children in particular, at rates higher than would be expected in the general population.”

consider before turning to something a little more permanent. SLUCare interim chairman of dermatology Dr. Dee Anna Glaser offers insight into the world of cosmetic dermatology.

Q| WHEN SHOULD WE BEGIN TO CONSIDER BOTOX TO MINIMIZE THE APPEARANCE OF WRINKLES

AND FINE LINES? A| Botox is a generic term, as there are three FDA-approved botulinum toxins for cosmetic use. The logical time to consider these is when someone comments on a negative aspect, like, “Why are you always mad/look worried?” or when you notice in the mirror that your face makes wrinkles easily with facial movements.

Q| WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTOX AND FILLER? A| Botox relaxes muscle movement and is used for lines/wrinkles that develop because of muscle

movement (frown lines, crow’s feet, horizontal forehead wrinkles, vertical lip wrinkles). It also is used to reshape the face by relaxing certain muscles. We can make the corners of the mouth go upward a little by relaxing the muscles that pull down on the mouth. We can lift up eyebrows a little by relaxing the muscles that pull them down. Fillers help to replace volume and are used alone or in conjuction with Botox. Classic areas are the smile lines, cheeks, marionette lines and hollowness in the temples. Fillers also help to stimulate the skin to make collagen, which adds to the actual volume of the face. ?

Q| CAN BOTOX BE USED TO PREVENT FUTURE WRINKLES AND LINES? IF SO, SHOULD WOMEN GET

BOTOX SOONER? A| It is best to treat with Botox before lines get deep at rest. We get more dramatic results when we start earlier; for some very expressive people, that might be in the 20s or 30s.

Q| WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GETTING BOTOX AT A DOCTOR’S OFFICE VERSUS A

MED SPA? A| Physicians are trained in muscle anatomy, blood vessel anatomy and the overall aesthetics of the face. You tend to get more individualized injections from them. a more individualized Q| WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF YOUR PATIENTS? A| The average is 50-plus, but we are seeing an increase in younger patients and male patients. We also are seeing older patients in their 70s and 80s, and I have a couple in their 90s. Botox can give good results with a high safety profile, and patients are looking for noninvasive ways to maintain and improve their looks.

Q| IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, HOW MUCH HAS BOTOX USE AMONG YOUR PATIENTS INCREASED? A| Our Botox use has grown tremendously. When patients are here, I let them know we also can give them a little eye-lift, or help their jowls with Botox, and they are excited about that.

nature. Mannequins told us what to wear, and what to pair it with. It’s different now. These days, shopping trips often begin with research done from home on little screens. “Is there nothing they haven’t touched?” asks Sean Phillips, talking about the ways smartphones have altered the way we do things. Phillips is both a fashion blogger and regional marketing director for West County Center and says he knows all about how our devices have changed the way we shop. “A trip to the mall is not what it was once,” he says.

For one thing, it involves more walking. “We don’t shop in a single store for an outfit,” Phillips says. “We move from place to place–a top from here, a skirt from there. Now, where to buy those shoes?” Often, he says, shoppers consult their phones as they go–tapping for coupons, swiping for on-the-spot ideas. “Your smartphone is your shopping friend. It helps you pick out the perfect item,” he says.

Certain stores at West County Center have jumped enthusiastically onto the tech bandwagon and offer shoppers nifty ways to personalize their experience. At Sephora, for instance, in-store computers help track down a favorite scent or a foundation that exactly matches a person’s skin tone. “We take pictures of your face on a special device and type the information into an iPad,” explains Brooke Tweedy, Sephora’s West County color specialist. “It gives you lipstick and concealer suggestions as well.”

She says another service—Fragrance I.Q.—comes up with perfume ideas based on desired mood and past preferences. “Do you want to feel playful? Chic? Warm and spicy? What scents have you liked in the past, and what might be similar?” she asks. The results of a skincare quiz point shoppers toward specific products and suggest suitable regimens. All these analyses can be uploaded onto a phone by way of a Sephora app and perused at leisure from home. “This interactive buying experience is fun!” Tweedy says. “It gives people a reason to come to the mall.”

At the very least, Phillips says, a simple blog post, Facebook page or store email can make shopping more individualized and intentional. “Where once magazines were our bibles, circulations are down and giants like Vogue and Elle are reaching followers via media channels,” he explains.

Outside of fashion, other stores at the center are catching on to innovative ways to lure buyers.

Phillips says the LEGO Store now features a ‘digital box’ that shoppers use to see actual-size, 3D holograms of the set they wish to purchase.

Phillips is quick to note that West County Center, like other successful shopping destinations around the country, keeps on top of tech trends and adapts to them. “We recognize that shopping is a journey and an interactive experience,” he says. “Our motto at West County Center is ‘Make it yours.’ We understand today’s consumer and help them tailor their experience to meet their every need. It’s very exciting.”

[ DRIVEN ] AUDI Q7

by robert w. paster THE LUXURY SUV TREND IS HOTTER THAN EVER: just ask Bentley and

Jaguar, which are introducing SUVs for the first time during the 2017 model year. Audi, however, has been in the luxury SUV game for quite a while now, and has used that experience to refine its three-row Q7.

Overall, the interior is a nice mix of function and luxury. Leather-wrapped heated and ventilated front seats (with optional massage), heated rear seats, and an available heated steering wheel ensure comfort regardless of outside temperature. Heads-up display of your speed and warning signals on the windshield are a nice feature that can help prevent speeding tickets and pedestrian accidents. The screen display rises from the top of the dash but looks almost like an afterthought. Instead of using a touchscreen, Audi chose to control it with a remote knob between the front seats that requires navigation between screens to move from one function to the next. You’ll have to spend a few minutes with the owner’s manual to master all the options.

The Q7 offers three rows of seats accommodating a total of seven passengers. Leather, wood and Alcantara trim throughout provide luxury and sophistication. Second row room is good, with adequate leg room, but the third row is probably best for the younger set. With the third row up, there’s only a small amount of cargo room beneath the electrically operated rear hatch, but when you fold the rear seats, cargo room expands greatly. A two-panel panoramic sunroof with sunshade gives the Q7 a bright, open feeling.

The thick leather steering wheel is the first component of a sporty driving feel. Paddle shifters on the steering wheel allow you to shift manually without a third pedal. Power from the turbocharged V-6 engine is plentiful to move this large SUV with alacrity. Handling also is good for an SUV, making the Q7 a nice driving vehicle, although the power steering is overboosted. Despite dropping 500 pounds from the previous version, the Q7 still feels like a solid, well-built vehicle. Numerous nanny and convenience features help make it an easy and safe vehicle to drive, including vehicle exit assist, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot alert, collision avoidance assist, and a feature called ‘pre sense city’ that detects other vehicles and pedestrians, warning the driver of a possible collision and even initiating emergency braking if necessary, up to 52 mph. Parking is made easy with front and rear sensors, in addition to a back-up camera.

According to Plaza Audi sales manager Jay Poplawski, “The virtual cockpit is great. It gives you the ability to put the navigation screen right in front of you between the gauges. The Q7 offers German engineering and sleek styling, plus the ability to carry seven passengers.”

THE ROOFTOP RESTAURANT at the Four Seasons

Hotel downtown has revamped its menu to focus on ‘shared plates,’ a concept its chef says is consistent with the Italian way of eating: everyone together as a family sharing in the bounty. He has drawn on his roots in Italy and the results do not disappoint: pillowy housemade ravioli, intensely flavored Zuppa di Pesce, buttery squid-ink pasta with lobster.

I wish I could steer readers to ‘the best dishes,’ but they were all best dishes. Foccacia e Burrata ($16) is pizza dough stuffed with chopped green olives, folded over itself, and spread with truffle oil, cherry tomatoes and arugula. Plopped into the center is creamy burrata.

The cold cheese contrasted with the warm crust; the salty olives with the peppery arugula.

The Crocchetta di Carciofo ($6) are fried balls with minced artichoke and cream inside, reminiscent of crab rangoon. They were excellent, with the tangy artichoke holding up well to the fried balls and their oozing cream.

The Cappesante ($17) is a light and refreshing starter of three seared scallops on basil emulsion, topped with pickled bell peppers and a few grapefruit jewels.

Veal Milanese ($38), the chef’s signature dish, includes a massive veal cutlet, bone in and breaded, atop truffle mashed potatoes with roasted tomatoes and mizuna salad—tender and moist. Same for the Polipo alla Luciana ($16), baby octopus that is tender and flavorful rather than rubbery. It comes in a browned tomato sauce flavored with smoky paprika, feta, green olives and butternut squash.

Zuppa de Pesce ($25 or $38) makes other fish soups pale, with its delicate red broth of concentrated sea flavors. Slices of buttery sea bass float alongside shrimp, clams and mussels—each of them as perfectly cooked as if it was prepared individually.

Tonnarelli Neri, squid-ink pasta ($14 or $21), was the star of the show. The black noodles came coated in a layer of cream and flavored with bagna cauda, a mix of anchovies, garlic, butter and prosecco to yield a delicately flavored emulsion, in this case enhanced by lobster and dried tomatoes.

The filet ($39) is delicious, served well-seasoned with salt and pepper and a few crisped onion slivers.

exterior. It comes with roasted veggies and a flavorful chianti reduction.

The Agnello ($38), rack of Australian lamb, consists of three juicy double-cut chops that are melt-in-yourmouth good (in part, thanks to the smashed fingerling potatoes doused with duck fat underneath them!) The saffron corn puree, a creamy sauce underneath, also enhances the meat.

The Tonno ($36), two large chunks of tuna tenderloin, is in the running for ‘Best Fish I’ve Tasted,’ fresh and clean, buttery and encased in black pepper. A citrusy orange caponata accompanies it, as do artisan roasted vegetables, including pattypan squash, baby zucchini and heirloom radishes. If you’re thinking, So many tempting dishes, so little stomach space, don’t despair. There is a tasting set menu: three courses for $42, four for $48.

Desserts are the usual Italian offerings, but hardly typical. The cannoli tasted like they were just then fried up, hot, slightly oily and flaky crisp, the filling so light that it resembled whipped cream. The tiramisu also was light in texture, with a spongy base.

RUM IN ITS MANY FORMS AND DUE TO ITS VERSATILITY

is a favorite spirit. My go-to summer drink is a premium rum and tonic with a lime wedge or slice of orange. There is a reason that the Royal Navy used it as part of the daily rations for British sailors for centuries—and that the practice wasn’t discontinued until 1970!

During colonial times the tasty spirit was actually used as currency.

In fact, the rum trade is part of the reason the colonies rebelled against Britain. It is that good.

Rum is a distilled spirit made from sugar cane—either from its juice or byproducts after refined sugar production, such as molasses. It comes in many styles, and unlike tequila and whiskies, there are no universal regulations on its production. Rules are designated by the country of origin and vary greatly.

The majority of the world’s rum production still occurs in the Caribbean and the surrounding Latin American nations and is imbedded in their cultures.

Rum Styles Light or silver, golden, flavored, spiced, dark and overproof rums are the main styles and these identify how the rums are produced and aged. The light and overproof rums are the ones traditionally used in cocktails with mixers, although in modern mixology, darker and aged rums also are being employed. Premium rums are the sippers.

English-speaking nations tend to produce richer dark rums made from molasses and aged in oak. French speaking nations (Haiti, Guadalupe, Martinique) typically produce more expensive agricultural-style rums made from raw sugar cane juice in a lighter and aromatic style. Spanish speaking islands and countries produce aged rums (añejo). Brazil produces a rum-style spirit called cachaça.

Mia Madre is a movie of our times—a gentle reflection on aging and loss, on what it means to love, and love well. Early on, a brother and sister visit their dying mother in the hospital. While daughter Margherita seems prickled by the moment’s emotional weight, son Giovanni unpacks a meal for his mother. “Pasta with basil...a little Parmigiana,” he says with an affectionate flourish, setting out the feast. His love feels seamless. The camera switches between things—an age-speckled hand, a pair of spectacles. It pans to another bed where a woman tends gently to her mother. This simple tenderness, the movie tells us, is a skill our Margherita doesn’t have.

But she learns. Over the course of the film, her brother and mother Ada teach by example, moving in and out of feelings with facility. This fluidity, and the memories Margherita must finger through, demand that she find a way to live connectedly, to embrace her sadness.

The film reassures us that if we live and love the right way, the things we fear most can be endured with surprising ease. Just before the end, Margherita holds up two little blouses and asks Giovanni to pick. We realize then, that these are burial clothes. The scene is a snippet, a tiny painful moment that passes, leaving life (contrary to expectation) intact.

“Mama, what are you thinking about?” Margherita says in the final scene that flashes back to Ada’s last moments. “Domani,” her mother says. Tomorrow.

COVER STORY

IN FOCUS

MEDIA PROPS PRESS CLUB OF METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS by alexa beattie WHETHER IT’S IN WORDS ON PAPER, faces on a screen or

voices on the airwaves, their journalistic mission anchors us to our day and our world. On Nov. 30, the city honors the media professionals we know and love when St. Louis Press Club hosts its annual Media Persons of the Year Gala. This year, seven people and one institution are being saluted, among them beloved Post-Dispatch columnist Bill McClellan and retired sportscaster and Cardinals announcer Jay Randolph. Others receiving awards are Post-Dispatch cartoonist Dan Martin, recently retired KTVI anchor Tom O’Neal and retired KSDK education reporter Sharon Stevens. Honored as National Media Persons of the Year are native St. Louisans Jim McKelvey and Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Square, the mobile payments company. (Dorsey also is the co-founder of Twitter). KMOX will be recognized as Media Institution of the Year.

“Good journalism is so important in our world because a well-informed populace is essential for democracy,” says Barbara Langsam Shuman, event co-chair. Over the course of 60 years, the Press Club has raised thousands of dollars for needbased scholarships to help St. Louis metropolitan-area media and communications students, and to support internships in reporting, broadcasting and other communications positions.

In recent years, the professional and charitable organization

has expanded its reach to recognize college students pursuing careers in public relations and communications. Seven years ago, it instituted enterprise grants for professional journalists pursuing self-driven investigative projects. Shuman notes the Press Club also has supported the Media Archives of the St. Louis Public Library by helping assemble and maintain archival materials such as newspapers, news reels and magazines.

The Media Person of the Year Award was started in 1988, when Joseph Pulitzer Jr. was its first recipient. McClellan received the award in 1997, but is this year’s lifetime honoree. He joined the Post-Dispatch in 1980 as a clerk, but soon graduated to what he has described as the newsroom’s least desirable job— night police beat reporter. His column, a popular mainstay for decades, was launched in 1983 and continues to this day. “He is one of the most respected people in St. Louis—in the media and the general community,” Shuman says. McClellan has been recognized nationally for his human interest stories.

The gala is the Press Club’s major fund-raising event and takes place at Edward Jones Atrium and Theater. Margaret Gillerman, a reporter with the Post-Dispatch for 36 years, is co-chair.

Honorary chairs are Bill DeWitt III, Mary Ann Srenco, Josephine and Richard Weil, and Noemi and Michael Neidorff. Carol Daniel—KMOX talk show host and news anchor—is emcee.

MEET SHAWN SAALE

OF DEFIANCE | VOLUNTEER

by karyn meyer Q| HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A VOLUNTEER? A| About eight years

Q| WHAT MADE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS PARTICULAR CAUSE? A| I have been doing nonprofit work since I started my law practice in 1992 because the two

are so closely tied together. I mainly do estate planning, which paves the way into working with charitable giving and philanthropy. Lisa Drier, the executive director, is a friend of mine.

We had worked together for more than 20 years at other organizations, so she introduced me to Emmaus Homes. Through my job, I do a lot of work with clients who have children with special needs, which is why I was drawn to Emmaus. It serves as an invaluable resource to these families.

Q| WHAT KIND OF VOLUNTEER WORK ARE YOU INVOLVED WITH? A| I help charitable organizations through helping clients with their estate planning. I’m on the development committee, and we’ve raised on average around $2 million each year for Emmaus. We started discussing hosting an annual fundraising event, and I came up with the idea for Duckfest. There are so many golf tournaments and dinner auctions that we were trying to think of something different. The water fowl industry is actually a prized resource in our area, and prominent local businessmen and companies own private duck clubs, many in the St. Peters area where Emmaus Homes is headquartered. Since it was my idea, I became the chair. (The event features duck calling contests, raffles, live music, and more.) I wanted to do something that was unique and tap into a different market of fundraising. A lot of people don’t know much about the nonprofit even though it’s been around a while, so this way we could involve a whole different group of people. This will be our third year for the event, and we’re hoping to eventually get all the local duck clubs involved. The first year we raised $40,000, the second year $65,000, so it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Q| IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING FOR THE ORGANIZATION, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A| To raise public awareness because unfortunately, Emmaus Homes is one of the best-

kept secrets in the area. Getting the word out would really help with fundraising. There is a large gap between what the organization receives from client fees and public funding compared to the actual costs for care, which is quite a bit more. We have to do a lot of fundraising to fill that gap.

IN THE WORDS OF EMMAUS HOMES: “Through his work with area nonprofits and

it a complete makeover since purchasing it five years ago from its original owners. The three-bedroom home, designed by Ted Christner, needed the update, and she did it in style.

“It’s a brand-new home in the shell,” she says. “I have spent a lot of time and energy here. For me, I feel very privileged to have been able to create the beauty that is here. It’s just a very fulfilling piece of design and architecture. I’ve lived with such beauty everywhere I’ve looked.”

The homeowner is an interior designer and artist and fell in the love with the architecture. Before doing a thing, she enlisted the help of a local architect, the late Howard Koblenz. They spent a year transforming the interior’s 5,760-square feet.

She says Terry Hill Lane will always hold a special place for her, even as she moves further east to be closer to her grown children. “The house has so much glass,” she says. “It’s flooded with light and I love it. It’s very open to the outdoors. No matter where I look, I see beautiful old trees and greenery.

Bird-watching is fabulous. It’s very Zen.” While she cites each room as special to her, she especially enjoyed the large room on the lower level that doubled as her art studio. “The thing that’s great about my studio here is that it has walkouts to an outdoor living area that’s extremely private,” she says. “It’s very simple and restful. The space could be used for a lot of things.”

That was how she designed much of the house—sophisticated but easily adaptable. “There is a lot of flexible space, purposefully flexible,” she says. “I knew that the way I would use space might be different than others would use it. Rooms could be bedrooms or offices or sitting rooms or family rooms. It would be very easy for someone to move in and just keep going.”

She says the home’s open flow concept worked well when she held gatherings, most of which were for family. She did, however, throw one neighborhood party after the year-long construction was completed. “They had to live with workers at the end of the street for more than a year, so I wanted to invite them in,” she says. “It was a holiday party so they could see the finished product.” The owner says she will miss her neighbors and the quiet area. “The street itself and the lane are very private and wonderful,” she says. “No two houses here are alike. There is some wonderful history on the street.”

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

I would like to add a screened porch to the rear of my West County home. My hope is that this would be an enjoyable place to spend time, as well as a way to add architectural interest. What would you suggest?

Sincerely, —TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE

DEAR TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE,

I see from your other photos that your home has a handsome brick front façade, which features a more elaborate composition than we see at the rear. I would like to bring some of this feel to the back. This will create a unified element to the whole property.

First, I would place a gabled porch to the left side of your existing terrace doors. The doors, with their transoms, are a nice feature that I don’t want to hide (and darken) with the porch. A new bracketed overhang helps tie the composition together and adds a sense of depth. Note that the corner piers of the porch are brick to match the front. New dark green shutters and an added window at the garage complete the architectural upgrades.

The landscape additions include a new, exposed aggregate concrete patio and walkway.

A new evergreen hedge ties the composition together, and additional ornamental grasses help hide the underside of the existing deck. A tall fir tree at the garage helps balance the new porch.

The rear façade of your home is now a better complement to the front, so hopefully you will feel like your goal has been met.

Thanks for asking, —HOMEWORK

[DESIGN on my mind by alan e. brainerd

It’s always interesting to see trends come and go. Younger designers often have little idea (or interest, sometimes) in where certain trends began. Take nailheads.

These have had a very long and storied past. On upholstery, the opinion of experts is that it all began with Louis XIII (1560-1643), with the creation of the os de mouton chair (which has legs resembling those of a sheep, or mouton). This was revolutionary (as were many things in France!), since it began the idea that upholstered backs and seats are acceptable. Here, nailheads were used not only to assist in keeping the fabric in place, but also to add a detail of beauty for the eye. Keep in mind that upholstery fabrics such as velvet, brocades, leather and tapestry were VERY expensive, and people did not just redo things lightly … even kings!

Across The Channel, during the Jacobean period (1603-1625), nailhead decoration was seen on wood furniture by the Dutch, English and Spanish. They had not caught on just yet to comfortable padded seating, but used the metal treatment to fancify their tables, chests and trunks. With very few exceptions, adding nailheads was a rather daft effort to create beauty on furniture that was so big and bulky it would certainly take more than a little metal to soften. But they at least tried.

Today, companies are adding nailheads in various finishes to once again adorn case goods. Now nailheads come in various sizes and shapes; until the 1880s they were square and rough. By adding these metal touches, a curved line can be accentuated or a Greek key pattern created for interest on the face of a cabinet. The possibilities are endless. No longer only utilitarian, the nailhead has punched its way into chic style!

Charlotte Moss China

What do you get when you match one of our country’s oldest fine china manufacturers, Pickard, with one of our country’s most famous tastemakers, Charlotte Moss? Something exceptional, of course!

This fine china company was founded in 1893 by Wilder Pickard and now is led by a fourth generation of the family. Each piece of tableware goes through 21 stages of production, only to be inspected three times during the process by employees who average 18 years with the company. Each piece has some decoration in 24kt. gold, which enhances its beauty and value. They have produced designs for heads of state, as well as for foreign dignitaries.

Charlotte Moss founded her design company in 1985 and has since expanded her talents to design household goods for a number of companies, including Brunschwig & Fils and Traditions. Her keen eye is always on the hunt for what will stimulate the consumer next.

Her partnership with Pickard has spawned 10 different patterns, each with its own style, oftentimes inspired by previous tastemakers such as Elsie de Wolfe and Nancy Lancaster. Her first collection included Elsie, Espalier, Nancy and South Hampton. Her most recent launch is a bit broader, with Pagoda, Pineapple, Quail, Shell, Stag and Topiary. Most five-piece placesettings retail for around $375.

GRACEFUL GRACIE

PHOTO COURTESY OF PICKARD CHINA

DESIGN REDUX

PHOTO COURTESY OF GRACIE

nailheads Gracie was founded in 1898 by Charles R. Gracie and still is run by family members to this day. The carriage trade business is known today mainly for its exotic and beautifully designed hand-painted wallpapers, which adorn fine homes around the world. That division of the company began in the 1930s after a friend in the textile business returned from the Orient with a painted panel. Due to Mr. Gracie’s foresight and high-end clientele, the company has lead this part of the industry ever since.

Its product is manufactured both in New York and mainland China.

During the Chinese revolution, the studio was moved to Taiwan in 1949 for a few decades but has since returned to the mainland. The same Chinese family has managed that division for more than 50 years!

Gracie began his business as a custom lamp maker, with a later foray into Asian antiques (which they still hand-select and offer). So it makes sense that hand-painted furniture would come into play at some point.

For years the company has offered hand-painted coffee, console and side tables and lamps. Now chairs have been added to the collection.

This chinoiserie-styled chair comes in a variety of lacquer finishes, with hand-painted patterns.

The perfect complement to a foyer or living room, these works of art are for anyone who loves beautiful things … like me!
