[ letter from the editor ]

This week’s issue contains our Dining & Entertainment Guide—which focuses on two of my favorite activities (and in the right order, too).

Well, there’s no shame in being a bon vivant, I guess, and it’s especially appealing in our town. The week this editorial was due, I went to Kinky Boots at The Fox; the week before that, it was Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike at The Rep. Both shows were highly entertaining, and perhaps more important, very low maintenance. By that, I mean the St. Louis entertainment scene is so easy: easy parking, easy exiting and easy on the pocketbook.

Next week, I’m taking my visiting grandkids to the Zoo for a sea lion show, Saint Louis Science Center for the Planetarium, The Magic House (just for fun), and back to The Fox for Stomp! Why would I undertake all that with two little kids in tow? Because, in the words of Gershwin, in our town, the livin’ is easy. Annual memberships at most cultural venues can be had for under $100—and include admission to just about everything you’d want to do there. And by joining, we support local treasures in our own community, making them more accessible for those who can’t afford admission fees.

Then there is the local dining scene, which to my mind is one of the best-kept secrets in the country. We have a wide range of offerings, from traditional Italian food (like Café Napoli, in today’s dining review) to award-winning barbecue and innovative chefs who consistently are named James Beard finalists. So why wouldn’t we take advantage of all St. Louis has to offer? I say, go out and eat, drink and merrily enjoy local entertainment!

—Dorothy F. Weiner Editor in Chief

Ladue Middle School eighth-grader Claire Rowe will compete for the title of Miss Missouri's Outstanding Teen this summer. The 13-year-old will join more than 30 teens from across the state for the competition, which includes a talent performance, physical fitness performance, on-stage Q&A and formalwear segment. Rowe's personal platform is STAMP Out Cyberbullying; she devised the acronym (Students Together Against Mean Posts) when fellow students were targeted online through social media.

Bloomin’ Buckets has received the nod of approval from the queen of all things crafty. The local florist was featured in Martha Stewart Weddings Spring 2015 issue on the list of 62 Top Floral Designers. It was the only florist in Missouri to receive the special distinction. Now celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Bloomin’ Buckets is the vision of owner Barb Wehking, who started by selling flowers at the Kirkwood Farmers Market. She now has a team of more than 15 at her shop at 9844 Manchester Road.

Dr. Jeffrey Gordon of Washington University has been awarded the King Faisal International Prize in Medicine. The honor is announced annually by the King Faisal Foundation in Saudi Arabia to recognize scientists whose research has major benefits for humanity. Gordon has discovered a link between nutritional health and the inner workings of the microbes that live in the gut, which has the potential to change food production methods and lead to dietary recommendations that recognize the importance of the gut microbiome. Gordon earned a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and a medical degree from the University of Chicago.

But not every baby is lucky enough to be welcomed into a safe environment. “Parts of St. Louis have infant mortality rates equal to or worse than Third World countries,” says Melinda Ohlemiller, CEO of Nurses for Newborns (NFN). “Some infants are born with medical problems but lack access to health care; others are born to unprepared teen moms or moms who are mentally or physically challenged; still others are born into domestic violence and addiction, or to well-intentioned families who can’t afford food, diapers or a crib.”

Nurses for Newborns works to prevent infant mortality, abuse and neglect by providing at-risk families with free, in-home visits from experienced registered nurses. “We encourage and educate families during the critical time before and after they bring a new life into the world, and assist parents to nurture and protect their babies at the most vulnerable time in their lives,” Ohlemiller explains.

“We act as a safety net by offering services such as child and maternal health assessments, developmental monitoring, preventive care, and parenting skills and home safety training to families who don’t have adequate medical care and other necessities.” Clients have access to a 24/7 nurse on call and donated emergency supplies such as formula, baby clothes and portable cribs. “We also can connect them to our community partners if they need safe housing, assistance with utilities, employment services and other resources,” she adds.

Established in 1991, NFN now serves more than 3,000 infants annually in 20 Missouri counties.

Demand for services keeps climbing. “We couldn’t function without generous community support,” Ohlemiller says. NFN’s annual dinner auction, A Night for Newborns, takes place April 19 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. This year’s event honors supporters Thelma Steward, who will receive the Champion for Families Award, and David Kodner, who will receive the McGraw Milhaven Award. Barbara Druhe, Fran Marks and Gloria Wind serve as co-chairs; World Wide Technology is presenting sponsor.

“Evidence shows reduced abuse or neglect, increased immunizations, and reduced injuries, hospitalizations and ER visits when NFN is in the picture,” Ohlemiller says. “We know from these outcomes that we’re saving babies’ lives, giving them a chance to grow, and empowering our clients to be good parents.”

But numbers tell just part of the story. “We got a phone call not long ago from a former client who endured a long period of unemployment and emotional problems,” Ohlemiller says. “She thanked our nurse for helping her get back on her feet. Another mom thanked us for teaching her CPR, because it enabled her to save her baby’s life. We get these calls all the time. That’s how we know we’re making a real difference in the lives of the families we serve. Every baby deserves to be safe and healthy. But that happens only when families are strong and confident in their care.”

Bummed that you missed the first Food Truck Feast at Chesterfield City Hall last month? Wait, there’s more! You also missed the first day of the city’s inaugural art exhibit at city hall. Double bummer? Not to worry.

Food Truck Feast is slated for the last Friday of every month from April through October, in the circle drive.

(The art exhibition is not limited to Fridays, though).

Drop by 690 Chesterfield Parkway West between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays to take in paintings and photographs by established regional artists Tim Layton, Jane Sehnert, Stuart Morse and Julie Wiegand. The exhibit will be up through June 26. The first Food Truck Feast featured Curbside Cookery, Global Quesadilla, Chop Shop and Sarah’s Cake Shop. The works of art are available for purchase.

Who needs to bake when you can have the goodies delivered straight to your door?

For years, it’s worked for pizza just like a charm. Now, it seems to be doing fine for cookies fresh from the oven. The dough for Hot Box Cookies started to rise in Columbia, Mo., with a target of college tummies all a-flutter during cram sessions. Now, the bake-and-go (or bake and get delivered) sweet shop has come to 3 N. Euclid Ave. Opened in late February, it’s already causing quite a stir, I mean sugar high, among area students and others.

The brainstorm was hatched about seven years ago by

central west end

three juniors at Mizzou, fast friends from high school at Parkway Central: Corey Rimmel, Adam Hendin and David Melnick. Later, the young men got a foothold in Lawrence, Kan., serving to K.U. Jayhawks … the nerve. But it all makes sense: You can eat only so many consumables from Taco Bell and Jack In The Box. Or, cookies from the supermarket aisle … even Oreos have their limit, right? Maybe the best part is they deliver … late. Just how far in the StL from the CWE can you have your good ’n’ gooeys delivered? East, almost to downtown; west, to Clayton; south, to Dogtown; and north to Page Boulevard.

If you’ve gone down Hunter Avenue lately, on the once-lovely Centennial Greenway path that borders Clayton’s Shaw Park, you may think you’ve stumbled into a deforestation project. Well you have, kind of. The trees and shrubs along the path have been chopped down, en masse, to make room for better plantings down the road—coming in fall of this year.

Why will they be better? Because they will be native species that won’t invade and dominate nearby plants— or Clayton backyards. That is according to a spokesperson from Great Rivers Greenway, which is responsible for the project, along with the city of Clayton, Coinco (whose property borders the walking/running/biking path), The Open Space Council and Ameren (whose massive power lines back there have been threatened by the overgrowth). Apparently the plants that have been upended were mostly bush honeysuckle and treeof-heaven, two invasive species that grow helter skelter in unmanaged areas. Soon to come: green lovelies like low-growing native shrubs and prairie grasses. For the time being, forget about enjoying the natural beauty all around as you walk the path; there won’t be any until the fall plantings sprout about a year from now.

The subdivision that McBride & Sons is planning for Eureka is more like a small city. Well, maybe a village. OK, 527 homes constitutes at least a sizeable neighborhood. Nearly 300 acres will be dedicated to single-family homes and villas for young families and seniors. (Villas are for seniors, I reckon.)

With that many homes, where will all the new kids go to school? Reportedly, an additional plat of just over 13 acres will be reserved for a new elementary school.

The planned subdivision, The Arbors of Eureka, will spread out across the hilly territory behind Six Flags, in the vicinity of Greensfelder Park and Camp Wyman.

Prices will range from $200K for villas to $500K for high-end, single-family homes. Eureka Mayor Kevin

Coffey, in introducing the project to aldermen last month, said a focus of the builder will be to preserve trees wherever possible. To begin with, McBride says half of the trees will stay, and two new ones will be planted at each homesite. A trail also will be installed to connect with Greensfelder and other areas for walking.

Universal Components Group, an aftermarket auto-parts distributor based in the U.K., has chosen O’Fallon as the site of its first U.S. distribution center. The expansion project includes a $765,000 capital investment and will create more than 30 new jobs, state officials say. UCG, which supplies parts for commercial vehicles, trucks and semi-trailers, has more than 1,000 such centers worldwide. This one will operate from a 10,000-square-foot warehouse. The state has offered an economic-incentive package to the company if it meets strict criteria for investment and job creation here. Wainwright Industries, an affiliated automotive company with locations in Fenton and Wentzville, was part of UCG’s enticement to locate here.

A man who claims to have seen the Virgin Mary in the former Yugoslavia in 1981 was to have given a talk last month at Lindenwood University about the experience. But it was not to be. The Archdiocese of St. Louis cancelled the event, which was being sponsored by a Catholic nonprofit in Grover (near Wildwood). The interdict came from the Vatican itself. A group within the Holy See, the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, has been investigating the claims of visionaries like the above since 2010 and has forbidden clergy to participate in any event that promotes them. Although the investigation concluded early last year, the findings have not yet been published. The would-be speaker, Ivan Dragicevic, allegedly has had frequent visions of Mary since his first experience as a child in June 1981 in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia. Millions of pilgrims have flocked since then to the tiny village.

This headline from awhile back might have caused many a hippie or wannabe to do a double-take: ‘Young Biotech Firm Bets on Weed as Future Cash Crop.’ Well, uh, yeah, if you’re using a slang term for marijuana and you consider all the successful and pending efforts to decriminalize it in the States. But, no. Pennycress is the weed that Creve Coeur-based Arvegenix is working so hard to domesticate. It grows in the winter, which potentially could add another

In some states, it’s all in the name: ‘Weed’ is the only way pennycress is classified in some states. But the small local startup, with 11 employees—about half of whom are working for equity instead of salary—is hoping to turn the lowly weed into ‘dollar’ cress.

Lafayette Square is known for being, well, Lafayette Square. It’s unique— close to downtown, but more genteel than urban. A jewel among jewels, as far as city residential neighborhoods go, it’s also a draw for its restaurants. Ever heard of a ‘gastro tour’? It’s waaay more appetizing than visiting the metro’s top gastroenterologists of an afternoon. It’s a culinary tour, a concept that’s become all the rage. Hurry, and you may still be able to book a spot on an upcoming one of Lafayette Square restaurants. It’s on Saturday (April 4).

Foodies will be treated to a four-hour progressive meal with tempting tastes from Vin de Set, 1111, Planter’s House and 33 Wine Bar. What, no chocolate? Hold your knife and fork, there, mister. Bailey’s Chocolate Bar is featured on the next yummy Lafayette Square junket, slated for May 2, and we won’t divulge the destination eateries because you can just find ’em out yonder on the Internet.

Many people assume the term ‘hit the skids,’ which means to be on the path toward decline or failure, is a reference to Skid Row. That phrase, coined during the Great Depression, describes a district of cheap flophouses and saloons frequented by vagrants and alcoholics. But actually, it’s the other way around: ‘hit the skids’ predates ‘skid row’ by as many as 22 years. ‘Skid’ is probably from the Old Norse skith, meaning stick of wood. During the late 19th century here in the U.S., loggers used ‘skids’—downhill wooden tracks—to transport logs toward the river. By 1909, ‘hit the skids’ or ‘on the skids’ was being used to describe a man, often an unemployed logger, who was going into a rapid decline.

Students chose Variety as its designated charity for Spirit Week, a week-long celebration before homecoming. The school community has numerous students, parents, faculty and alumni who are involved with the children’s charity, and more than $10,500 was raised through donations and fundraisers.

Avery Elementary (webster groves)

Cub Scout Pack 303 invited Avery Girl Scouts to get in on the racing action at its Pinewood Derby. The girls built and decorated their own cars, which offered stiff competition for the boys. Nearly half the competitors were girls in kindergarten through fifth grade, and a third-grade Girl Scout had the best time overall. The activity supported the Girl Scouts’ focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).

TOWN TALK

[parent trap Men Are Oppressed Too! by dr. tim jordan When my 87-year-old uncle died, it got me thinking about his

and my dad’s generation. We’ve been hearing and reading since the ’60s about the oppression of women in our culture, but I realized that men of that era also experienced oppression, only in a different way.

My dad had just finished his second year of college when he enlisted for the Korean War. He had considered becoming a professional bowler and had traveled the circuit with some success. Instead, he married my mom, went on a short honeymoon, and was off to basic training and then to Germany, where he was stationed for three years. Nine months and 3 days after the wedding, my brother Pat was born. My dad didn’t see him until my mom moved to Germany nine months after that. When they returned to the U.S., they were toting Pat, my bother Mike, 10 months old, and the just-about-ready-to-be-born me in her belly. Wow! So my dad went to work for his dad in the car business, and any dreams of bowling for a living—or finishing college—were dashed. My parents went on to have eight children, and they worked their tails off supporting and parenting their large brood. Not much time was spent thinking about their dreams or aspirations; it was nose-to-the-grindstone from then on out.

That was true for many men who came home from World War II and the Korean War. Most quickly got married, and children came shortly thereafter. They didn’t complain; they just put their heads down and got to work, sacrificing their needs for their families. Because that’s what men were supposed to do: provide for family. But I wonder if they didn’t feel some regret from not having the freedom to choose their life’s course, especially when it came to careers. Even though it was not their way, I wonder if, given the chance, they might have yelled out like Albert Finney’s character in Broadcast News: “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it any longer!”

Fast forward to young men in their 20s and 30s today, and you see a far different picture unfolding. These men are typecast as adrift, unmotivated, lazy, immature and irresponsible. They are delaying marriage until their 30s and living at home in ever-increasing numbers. Young women complain that guys their age would rather hole up in their basements playing video games than get out and grow up. I don’t think I agree with all these negative labels.

What I hear most commonly from young men is that they don’t want to ‘settle’ like their parents did. Many have witnessed parents stuck in loveless marriages or struggling through painful divorces. They don’t see many adults who are fully engaged in work that is meaningful to them. Life seems like one, big, unhappy treadmill to them. So I hope young men take the time to find their passions, to travel and broaden themselves, and to create a destiny of their choosing.

winter sports wrap-up ] by bill hester

A record-setting hockey championship, continued dominance by a small-school wrestling squad and four teams in Final Four basketball highlighted the winter season for our high schools.

[ boys basketball ]

Two teams from the same conference competed against each other on the final day of the Class 5 state basketball tournament. Unfortunately, Chaminade’s 70-37 victory over St. Louis University High came in the third-place game instead of the championship contest.

Chaminade was considered the pre-tournament favorite, but the Red Devils were upset in the semifinals by Park Hill South, 53-50. Meanwhile, the Junior Bills also fell to a Kansas City area team, Blue Springs South, 61-52.

Chaminade finished the season with a 27-4 record, while SLUH was 19-13. The area boasts one of the top junior players in the country, and Chaminade’s Jayson Tatum did not disappoint. He led the entire area in scoring with a 26.5 average, and he brought the Red Devils to the Final Four in Class 5. Tatum struggled in the semifinals but capped off his season with 30 points as he connected on six of his seven 3-point attempts in the third-place game against the Junior Bills. Chaminade won the ultracompetitive conference, snagging all four of its league games.

A third MCC team, Vianney, also won a district championship. The Griffins fell to Jackson in a heartbreaker in the sectional round 59-57. Lafayette was the fourth area district champion in Class 5. The Lancers won the District 8 title, but then had the misfortune of coming up against Chaminade in the sectional round, falling 72-40.

Westminster Christian and Maplewood were the other area district champions.

Westminster won the Class 4, District 4 title and then won its sectional game against Lutheran South 67-48 before falling one game short of the final four, losing to Cape Notre Dame 62-44. Maplewood won the Class 3, District 4 title before falling to Park Hills Central 45-40 in the sectional round.

The area featured a number of other conference champions. Westminster won the Metro League title with an 11-1 mark. Brentwood was 7-1 in capturing the South CAA title, while Webster Groves, led by conference Player of the Year Alex Floresca, won all five of its games in the Sub XIIS Conference. Lafayette added a conference title to its district championship. The Lancers were 9-0 in the Suburban West Conference and 24-4 overall. Parkway West won all four of its league games in capturing the Sub Central National title. Parkway Central’s Jarrett-Cox Bradley, who was second to Tatum in the entire area in scoring (25.3) per game, was named Player of the Year in the Sub Central National.

[ girls basketball ]

It was a big season for the girls on the hard courts as a pair of teams made it to the final four, while another missed out by a single point. Parkway North advanced for the first time in school history in Class 5. The Vikings won their district title and then defeated Francis Howell (69-50) in the sectional round and Washington (64-53) in the quarterfinals before losing on a last-second shot in the semifinals, 55-54 to Liberty.

Parkway North, which finished 25-6, closed the season with a victory, defeating Cor Jesu 67-54 in the third-place game.

MICDS was dominant in Class 4 in advancing to the final four. The Rams won their first three post-season games by a combined 81 points, but fell to powerhouse Incarnate Word in the championship game 60-27. Incarnate Word, which won its record-tying seventh state championship, was led by superstar Napheesa Collier. The University of Connecticut-bound Collier put an exclamation point on her high school career with 30 points and 19 rebounds. The Red Knights shot more than 60 percent from the field, while MICDS easily had its poorest shooting game of the season, hitting just seven of its 45 attempts (15.6 percent). The loss should not detract from what was a super season by the Rams, who finished 26-3 overall, the most wins in school history, and MICDS’ first appearance in the Final Four. “We were down by just one point late in the game when we played in the regular season, but we just could not shoot it well this time,” MICDS coach Scott Small says. “It was a remarkable season, though. Five of our top nine players were new; we had some growing pains early, but we started to come together about eight or nine games into the season. We had four or five girls who could score, and they were willing to give up the ball for the good of the team.”

Kirkwood, which won the Sub XIIS Conference title and won 23 games overall, came as close as possible to joining Parkway North in the Class 5 semifinals. The Pioneers defeated Jackson (49-36) in the sectionals and then fell to Cor Jesu (44-43) in the quarterfinals.

Whitfield was the other area district champion in girls basketball. Then the Warriors were defeated in the sectional round in Class 3 by Park Hills Central (72-34).

Brentwood, Marquette and Ladue also finished the season as conference champions.

Brentwood was undefeated in eight games in winning the South Central AA, while Marquette won the Suburban West and Ladue captured the Suburban Central North.

The dominance of the CBC hockey team continued this winter as the Cadets captured their 14th MidState Hockey Association championship. That ties DeSmet for the most state titles of any school, their 10th win in the last 15 years. Amazingly, CBC has been in the Challenge Cup championship game each of the last 15 years. “The players obviously change through CBC hockey the years, but the kids we get are not only talented, but also quality kids,” CBC coach John Jost comments. The one constant through the years has been the coaching staff, as Jost and his assistants, Randy Staub and Nick Carolsello, have been together for the last 17 years. “We all have our roles,” Jost says, “and we do what we can to make CBC a successful team. It has certainly been a good ride.”

The Cadets had a pair of No. 1 goalies in Tom Nappier and Joe Bernadini. “Both

guys had great years,” Jost notes. “And scoring was never an issue with this group. I think we became the team we ended up being when we improved defensively, especially in the second half of the season.” Jack Harrison led the team in scoring, with 15 goals and 23 assists. CBC beat rival St. Louis University High in the Challenge Cup championship game 5-1 as junior defenseman Donovan Psaris was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. CBC won all 21 of its league games and gave up about a goal a game (22), while scoring 141 itself.

Kirkwood and Clayton also had solid regular seasons, winning their divisions with undefeated marks. Kirkwood won the South Division with an 8-0-0 record, while Clayton won the Suburban Central with an 8-0-2 mark. Lafayette’s Brendan Duggan led all area players in goals with 49.

Max Hunter of Clayton led the area in overall scoring with 40 goals and 28 assists.

Outstate teams finished in the top three at the state meet held in St. Peters’ Rec-Plex, with Rock Bridge winning followed by Springfield Glendale and Park Hill South. For the second year in a row, Marquette was the top St. Louis finisher, earning a team trophy. The Mustangs finished fourth this year after a second place finish in 2014. “I’m very proud of how the girls performed,” Marquette coach Joe Schoedel says. “After losing some key swimmers last year to graduation, these girls were anxious to show we could still compete with the best in the state.”

Marquette certainly did that at the state meet, led by senior Raquel Porporis and sophomores Katiana Porporis, Alyssa Lemon, Anna Davis and Ashley Yarbrough. “I couldn’t be prouder of how the girls handled the pressure and expectations of the season,” Schoedel comments.

“They are hardworking, competitive and really came together as a team.” Katiana Porporis had a second-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke, while Parkway West junior Kristen Petersen had a pair of second-place finishes: the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke.

The lone area champion came in the diving portion of the meet, as MICDS senior Kat Friese capped off an amazing career with her third consecutive state championship (Friese was third as a freshman). “For Kat to win three consecutive state titles is obviously quite an accomplishment,” MICDS coach Kristen Kaiser says. “She is confident, consistent, patient and I have yet to see anything faze her in terms of nerves. It is truly hard to quantify what she has meant to this team over the last four years.” Friese will take her talents next year to UCLA.

Whitfield’s success on the mats continued this season, led by a senior and a couple of freshmen. The Warriors won the Class 1 championship in Columbia, Whitfield’s fifth state championship in the last eight years. They finished second in two of those other three years.

The Warriors had five wrestlers in Saturday’s wrestlebacks, while Seneca, which was leading the pack, had four in that round. Each wrestler had two matches, and Whitfield finished 7-3 in its 10 matches while Seneca was only 2-6 in its eight matches. The Warriors took the lead at that point and never gave it up as all three Whitfield wrestlers who competed in JR DITTER of whitfield state championship matches won. “We ranked only 31st in returning points, and we had no state medalists returning from 2014,” Whitfield coach Charlie Sheretz says. “But I realized we had a lot of talent—it was just unproven talent. I have never been enamored of the term rebuilding. We just set out the week after state last year (when Whitfield finished second) and we were able to put it together and have another special season.”

Whitfield excelled in the lighter weights, winning state titles with freshmen at 106 and 113 pounds.

Mike McAteer completed an undefeated season with a championship at 106 pounds. McAteer defeated SKY DARRAH of whitfield another local wrestler, Ronald Stewart of Maplewood, with a first period fall in the championship match.

McAteer finished his season with a perfect 49-0 record.

J.R. Ditter, also a freshman, captured the championship at 113 pounds, finishing the season with a 45-4 record. Senior Sky Darrah was the other Whitfield individual champion, capturing the title at 152 pounds to finish with a 43-4 record. Five other Warriors came home with individual medals (Kurtis Hahn was third at 160 pounds, Taylor Boyce was third at 182 pounds, Max Darrah was fourth at 195, Robert MIKE McATEER of whitfield Hawkins was fourth at 285 and Dalton Schmidt was fifth at 138 pounds.)

Principia’s Caleb Kelly was the other area medalist in Class 1. Kelly finished third. No other area team finished in the top seven in any of the other three classes, but CBC had the best finish. The Cadets were eighth in Class 4. CBC had four medalists, including Malik Johnson, who won the championship at 106 pounds. Johnson finished with a 39-5 record. Charles McNeal (fourth at 120), D.J. Shannon (third at 148) and Jordan Davis (third at 220) were the other Cadet medalists.

Lafayette had a strong showing in Class 4 with three medalists: Chase Behrndt (second at 285); Brendan McKenna (fifth at 182) and Alex Weir (sixth at 145). The other area highlight in Class 4 was a state title and undefeated season for Michael Aldrich of Parkway South. Aldrich won the state championship at 182 pounds and finished the season with a 49-0 record. Things did not go as well for area teams in Class 2 and 3. There were no state champions in either of those classes. MICDS had the best area showing as a team in Class 2 as the Rams finished 13th, led by John Broughton, who was third at 138 and Nick Scherer, who was sixth at 160. Webster Groves was 13th in Class 3. The Statesmen were led by Lamont Wilson, who was the only area wrestler in Class 3 to compete for a championship. He finished second at 113 pounds, winning 50 of his 53 matches during the season. Teammate Tyler Lawson was third at 126 pounds.

[THE power of paper The Mercantile Library of UMSL by stephanie zeilenga

Dealers at the 2014 St. Louis Fine Print, Rare Book & Paper Arts Fair

Whether it’s through words printed on a page, a work of fine art or a

photograph showing bygone days or exotic lands, paper provides the key to new worlds, ideas and emotions. For the ninth year, the Mercantile Library of the University of Missouri-St. Louis is bringing together some of the finest local and national book and art dealers in the region for its Fine Print, Rare Book & Paper Arts Fair, which takes place May 1 through 3 at the J.C. Penney Conference Center on UMSL’s North Campus.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Mercantile Library’s collection and conservation fund. Established in 1846 and affiliated with UMSL since 1998, the library is the oldest one west of the Mississippi, and has collections focusing on Western Expansion, the St. Louis region, and the history of American rail and river transport.

Fair attendees can expect to find a wide variety of paper treasures, including illustrated books, prints by George Caleb Bingham and John James Audubon, historical and contemporary photography, and even hand-crafted boxes. “We offer a broad variety of materials, including rare books, watercolor and fine prints—anything based in paper is welcome,” says Julie Dunn-Morton, the library’s endowed creator of fine art. “It’s broad, and that opens it up to a lot of interesting things.”

Now an established St. Louis tradition, the fair draws dealers from near and far. “Because of the economy, it was challenging the first few years, but we were

fortunate to have good dealers who believed in us and stuck with us, and now we’ve really turned a corner,” Dunn-Morton says. “We’re being approached by dealers from around the country who have heard about our fair and want to be a part of it. We’re on the cultural radar now, and it’s a really fun event.”

Gathering a large number of dealers together in one place offers a valuable opportunity for local collectors, whether they’re seasoned or novice buyers, Dunn-Morton says. “Attendees can buy treasures without traveling to New York, Philadelphia or California,” she notes. “Beginners just getting started can talk to a variety of experts in their fields. And experienced collectors can compare, booth-bybooth, the works people are offering and make an informed decision right there on the spot. It’s also a great time for people who just want to browse and look around.”

On the last day of the fair, dealers will provide workshops and demonstrations in their areas of expertise. “This is included with admission, so you can just stop in and listen,” Dunn-Morton says. In the past, presentations have been on everything from watercolor painting to box-making, she notes. In addition, some of the dealers have been featured on the popular Antiques Roadshow, and this year’s fair also includes a two-hour appraisal event with Leslie Hindmann Auctioneers. “People like having their ‘Roadshow’ moment,” Dunn-Morton says. “We want the event to be both fun and educational, which is also part of the library’s mission.”

fresh & easy Nourish by HOLLYBERRY by tony di martino

a made-t0-order salad

Any exhausted parent who resorts to the fast food drive-thru or speed-dials

the nearest pizza place on the way home from work knows the guilt that comes from giving the kids junk for dinner ... again. And anyone who’s ever thrown a dinner party knows how time-consuming it is to assemble all the elements: order the meat or fish at one place, pick up dessert at another, hit the supermarket for fresh salad fixings, and swing by the wine shop. Now there’s a faster, easier, healthier option: Nourish

by Hollyberry.

Just opened in Warson Woods, Nourish is a cafe, a retail space and a catering-to-go market. “We offer real, delicious, healthful food that you’d make yourself, if only you had time,” explains owner Holly Cunningham. “You can stop in for lunch and a glass of wine with a friend, or pick up a box lunch. Or you can visit us after work for dinner to-go for the entire family, everything from appetizers to entrees, sides, made-to-order salads and dessert. We can also help you plan your next dinner party or baby shower.

We want Nourish to be a one-stop haven and resource for busy people, so they don’t have to run all over town to get what they need.”

Cunningham, 41, didn’t look far to find inspiration. “My husband and I are working parents who are juggling everything at once—our jobs, our family—while trying to maintain a little bit of sanity,” she says. “I kept hearing the same thing from my friends:

‘Yes, we’d like to cook a delicious, balanced meal every single night, but we just don’t have time!’ I wanted to give people an option.”

Nourish features food for every occasion and need. “A family-friendly dinner might include our Chicken Confetti Spaghetti—pasta tossed with chicken, cheddar cheese and lots of fresh vegetables,” Cunningham says. “Kids love it!” Having guests for dinner?

Try the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts stuffed with gouda cheese. Need to lose weight or get more Omega-3’s into your diet? Mission accomplished with Nourish’s blackened salmon and cauliflower puree. Customers can pre-order from a seasonal menu, and pick up their fresh or frozen selections on the specified day. “Or, if they need something fast, they can call ahead and see what’s ready for pickup,” she notes.

Delivery also is available.

Cunningham started baking at age 5 in her Holly Hobbie oven. Today she runs a $1.7 million business with 75 employees. Nourish follows Hollyberry Baking Co., launched in 1998, and Hollyberry Catering, established in 2001. She raised $25,000 toward the new venture through Indiegogo, an online crowdfunding website. “I love to cook and I care about good food, but I don’t want to spend every spare moment at the stove—I’d rather help my girls with their homework,” she says. “Nourish is all about living life better. Our dream is to nourish you, so you have more time to nourish your family.”

Nourish is located at 10037 Manchester Road in Warson Woods. For more information, call 314.835.9196 or visit nourishbyhollyberry.com.

Ryan McAdams by karyn meyer

Ryan McAdams has something to say. That’s what he told his instructor at Juilliard when asked why he wanted to be a conductor—the only answer that was deemed acceptable. The native St. Louisan and Clayton High School grad (2000) has reached a level in his career worthy of his upbringing. A self-proclaimed ‘opera brat,’ McAdams spent his childhood in the wings of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis watching his mom sing in the ensemble; his dad was a theater director. Now living in a beautiful apartment in Brooklyn, traveling the globe as a worldrenowned conductor and preparing for his upcoming wedding, McAdams is reveling in his happiness—and is more than eager to credit St. Louis and its beloved opera presenter for shaping his musical career. He returns home to open the summer season of Opera Theatre as conductor for The Barber of Seville.

T&S | You grew up in a very theatrical family. How did that influence you?

Ryan McAdams | I was constantly surrounded by singers. My mom, Carol Bell, is an opera singer and vocal teacher; she still has a studio in Clayton. I started piano around the age of 10 and would accompany for her studio classes and performances, so I got my hands around a huge operatic repertoire at a young age.

My father, Jerry McAdams, ran a theater company and was a founding member of the Kevin Kline Awards, so I also acted all the time. Eventually I had to choose between becoming an actor or a musician, but it was never much of a choice.

T&S | What did you study in college? rm | I received a bachelor’s degree in piano performance from Indiana University in 2004 and a master’s in orchestral conducting from Juilliard in 2006. At Indiana, I organized my own concerts and reading sessions; I could get a 50-piece orchestra together on a Sunday night for pizza, and we would play for hours. That’s how I started learning how to conduct.

T&S | What about conducting interested you? rm | I just always wanted to be a conductor; it was never a conscious decision. I wanted to be someone in the pit who was not only working with the singers and allowing them to perform to the best of their ability, but also channeling that performance through an orchestra. And it’s theater, so there was no hope! I wanted to focus on opera, but right out of Juilliard, I became music director of the New York Youth Symphony, which is all symphonic literature. But I embraced it with open arms, and it allowed me to navigate other fields throughout my career.

T&S | You studied in Sweden under the famed Alan Gilbert as a Fulbright Scholar and are equally prized around the world as a symphonic, operatic and contemporary music conductor. Is the fact that you’re so young and accomplished abnormal for the profession? rm | (laughing) All conductors are abnormal! I was lucky to have two things: one, an absolute insatiable desire to be around music every day; two, a profound sense of gratitude that I was given so much education in such deluges from the time I was really young.

T&S | How does it feel to come back to St. Louis? rm | It’s very meaningful and emotional. St. Louis nurtured me as a musician. It gave me an environment to experience every part of music making—and on such an extraordinarily high level, which I didn’t appreciate until I came back. I credit the teachers at Clayton High School for my development. My mom and I would attend rehearsals at the St. Louis Symphony from when I was 4 until 18, and I feel an enormous sense of gratitude for that. The city taught me what theater and music and singing was. I have a good career, but nothing beats the validation and gratitude of coming home and being able to give back to a community that nourished me.

T&S | What makes Opera Theatre such a world-class program? rm | It is the perfect size for its repertoire and season, and it has an openness to the community it serves that is effortless and that many other companies struggle to create. It has developed trust over the last decade about the standard of the performances: The singers are dynamic and consistently open to engagement from the audience. What I loved about coming back two years ago for Pirates of Penzance was how many people reached out to me and said Opera Theatre’s summer season is an essential part of their year, like The Rep or the Cardinals. It’s not a splurge or an experiment. It’s wonderful to be part of that. I love going out to the tent and celebrating with the amazing confluence of guests and artists.

T&S | Do you have any favorite local spots? rm | Pappy’s! I immediately have to go there; my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. My father is a good cook, so we’ll go to Soulard to get fresh ingredients to cook together. I always make a pilgrimage to my middle school and high school and take my brother to the Moolah to see a movie. And my father has a lake home in Leasburg, Missouri, so I go out there for a few days to detox!

Twenty-five years is a long time in the restaurant

business, especially in Clayton, where trendy spots come and go. But when you find a winning formula— exceptional food, personal service, large portions and fair prices—it’s possible to turn a modest little place into one of the most popular spots in town. That is exactly what Tony Pietoso did ages ago, when he parlayed his Cafe Napoli—then in a basement spot that housed a Danish restaurant—into his current place at the corner of Bemiston and Forsyth.

He deserves the success. He (or his son) is always present to greet guests, and they stop by the tables to ensure everyone feels the love. Then there’s the food, which in all these years I have not known to diminish in quality one iota. If you want top-notch traditional southern Italian cooking, this is your spot. It’s hard to beat his veal parm or chicken piccata. And when you’re

talking $19 for just about any chicken dish, well, that’s pretty exciting. That’s not to say the kitchen is staid; there are small innovations. For example, my fish special came on white carrot puree with apple cider gastrique.

A starter of Shrimp de Jonghe ($12) illustrates what you come here for. Three massive shrimp, cooked firm and delicious, come in an amazing, deep-red sauce tinged with a bit of zesty heat. They are meaty, and the plentiful sauce comes in handy for the (increasingly rare) free bread basket served here.

An order of Rigatoni Sorrentina ($18) has a creamy tomato sauce laden with arugula and buffalo mozzarella, which partially melts into the piping hot pasta. The peppery arugula was pleasantly tempered by the cheese, and, of course, the pasta was perfectly al dente.

The Veal Parmigiana ($24) captures the essence of Italy: olive oil-crisped breadcrumbs, veal scallopini,

creamy full-fat mozzarella and complexly layered tomato sauce. Every bite offered crunchy, creamy bliss you wish would never end. And it comes with a choice of pasta, veggie or potato side. This dish is hard to beat, but somehow our other entree did it. A special of Triggerfish, a mild whitefish from Florida, had a very appealing presentation, with the fish fillets cut into pieces, each pan-fried in what tasted like a full stick of butter. (There’s no better pairing than fish and butter.)

They were beautifully browned and flavorful, tender and sweet, and sat on a milky puree of white carrots flavored with apple cider coulis.

As for dessert ... so many good options, so little stomach space left. I settled on the Tartufo, a light chocolate gelato laced with amaretto liqueur and coated in a thin, hard chocolate shell. Yes, it was as good as it sounds.

The fairy godmother (Helena Bonham Carter) is not the typical ‘good witch’ type, which is a welcome switch. Her role could have provided more laughs though, as her portrayal is so ho-hum it is distracting. This version delves more into Cinderella’s (Lily James) childhood and how she is gradually transformed into a servant of her cruel

stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and two unattractive (in every sense of the word) stepsisters. Blanchett stole the show; her portrayal of the jealous, downright wicked Lady Tremaine elicits disgust, all the while appearing in gowns much more stunning than Cinderella’s ball gown. Overall, the message of the movie—have courage and be kind—is a good one for impressionable kids (and adults!). And any non-animated movie that can keep the attention of two kids under the age of 7 has done something right.

A. Stolen bid doubles are used primarily after

your partner opens one NT. Your right-hand opponent, for example, bids two ♣s. You were going to Stayman, so you double, saying the opponent has stolen your bid. Stolen bids also work when you are preparing to transfer, i.e., 1 NT, two ♦s by the opponent, stolen bid double by partner is a transfer to ♥.

Sleepless in St. Louis

by Rick Stoff

The great thinkers have pondered for ages the mysteries of that dark place we go every night when we close our eyes and drift off. Most view sleep as a blissful respite. Some curse it as a waste of time. Yet others approach it with dread, for they spend the night restlessly tossing and turning. No matter what we think of sleep, it is as inevitable—and necessary—as death and taxes.

sleep: what is needed?

Only recently have we learned the physiological secrets of sleep. The four stages of quality sleep based on brain wave activity, while common knowledge today, were unknown until 1937. So what is all the fuss about? Does it really matter whether we get six hours a night or eight?

Sleep on it “People who are chronically sleep-deprived inevitably have cognitive impairments, mood disorders and systemic problems, along with actual diseases such as high blood pressure and increased risk of heart attacks,” says Dr. Dayton E. Dmello, a pulmonologist in the Mercy Clinic at Mercy Hospital-St. Louis. “They are at the highest risk for impairment in intellectual functioning, depression, irritability and emotional stability.”

Dr. Oscar A. Schwartz agrees. “A lot of studies in the past 30 years have looked at how much sleep people need.

Some of the things we worry about in later life—strokes, dementia, Parkinson’s disease—are increased in people who average less than seven hours of sleep per night,” says the pulmonologist at the Center for Sleep Medicine at BarnesJewish West County Hospital.

Those sleeping hours are used by the brain to consolidate memories and manage the body’s functions. “Hormonal regulation is part of our sleep cycles,” Schwartz says. “People with short sleep times tend to have changes in hormones that promote weight gain, so one of the things related to sleep is obesity.

Sleep affects how we deal with insulin, so another issue would be diabetes.” The brain also does its mandatory housekeeping during sleep, he says, “getting rid of the odd proteins that are part of everyday life but need to be washed out.”

Fooling Mother Nature We all know people who swear they get by on a few hours of sleep. Really? “The textbooks say seven to eight hours each night is the average,” Dmello says. “There are ‘short sleepers’ who can get by with six to seven hours, but those are exceptions. It has not been determined what makes them different. I think they are genetically wired to get into the deeper stages of sleep very quickly.”

Many who consider themselves ‘short sleepers’ simply have become accustomed to a foggy state of mind, Dmello says. “From my experience, the people who say they do well with six hours are not really doing well; they just have learned to establish a different level of normalcy,” he explains. “When they actually get a good night’s sleep, they feel better and often realize that what they were perceiving as normal is not good.”

Schwartz finds the same to be true. “Some people come into the sleep medicine practice and say, ‘I don’t know what the fuss is—I’ve always slept five to six hours, and I feel fine,’” he says. “Then they fall asleep right in front of you. You wake them and tell them they were sleeping, and they say, ‘I just had my eyes closed.’ ”

PLAN AHEAD Spending more time in bed does not compensate for a bad night of sleep, Schwartz says. “It’s a misconception that you should spend a longer time in bed, even if you’re not sleeping, thinking that just resting will be of some benefit. It does the exact opposite. The longer you stay in bed, the more fragmented your sleep is going to become.”

A healthful night begins with planning, Dmello suggests.

“The concept is sleep hygiene. A good bedtime routine is the same every night—turn the lights off when it’s time, and that’s it.” Today we have all kinds of bright gadgets that mess with the body’s sleep instincts, Dmello says. “We get into bed but we are not ready to sleep,” he points out. “We are on our phones and laptops and iPads. Those are big distractors because any kind of blue-light screen triggers the same reflex that wakes us up in the morning. At night that prevents us from getting into a deep sleep easily.”

sleep studies

While sleep problems are, no doubt, as old as mankind, the field of sleep medicine is very new. Thirty or 40 years ago, few had heard of sleep apnea or understood its impact on general health. Today, we know millions of Americans who suffer from its effects— and researchers are aggressively pursuing more knowledge to improve the misery of sleeplessness.

take-home test Sleep studies are generally covered by medical insurance, but the increasing demand has led insurance companies to push for less-expensive home tests, Ju says. “The quality and amount of data we get with a sleep lab study is much better,” she says.

“Home studies are used exclusively to determine if someone has obstructive sleep apnea, the most common diagnosis.”

The home study monitors just a few functions, she explains. “It is simple enough that the average person can attach the wires, and it monitors the air flow in and out of the mouth, the body’s effort to breathe, and blood oxygen levels. The patient turns on the recorder, sleeps, and brings it back the next day.”

Ask the Expert

TO SLEEP, PERCHANCE TO DREAM “Sleep apnea is not a new problem, but it was underdiagnosed,” says Dr. Mesfin T. Mitike, a neurologist and medical director at SSM Center for Sleep Disorders. “Many studies have shown that sleep apnea has major effects on health—congestive heart failure, heart attacks, stroke, high blood pressure, weight gain, low libido or low testosterone levels,” he says, adding that sleep is now considered the primary or secondary treatment for many of these. “Because of this, many sleep labs are needed.”

A sleep study is the standard for diagnosing sleep issues and identifying causes. Patients referred to a sleep study center usually arrive after dinner and are wired head to toe. “They sleep their regular hours, during which their brain waves, breathing, movements and heart rhythms are monitored,” says Dr. Yo-El S. Ju, a neurologist at the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center in Brentwood.

“We read the brain waves and look at eye movements and muscle tone to see what stage of sleep they are in,” she explains. “We also monitor air flow in and out of the nose and mouth. Oxygen measurements are taken, usually off a finger.” A technician in the next room records audio and video of the test.

“There are no needles, nothing invasive or painful, but it is very strange,” Ju says. “We expect people will not sleep as well as they do at home. If they have difficulty, we may have them take a sleep medication for the study. The majority of people toss and turn more than usual, but they do fall asleep and we do get enough data to be diagnostic.”

GRADING THE TEST Data gathered during the study are scored by a sleep technician and a sleep physician, Mitike says. “We will rate the overall quality of sleep and whether they have health-affecting situations that need to be treated.”

Poor sleep can result from periodic leg movement, seizures, insomnia or RBD, a REM sleep behavior disorder. REM (rapid eye movement) is one of the four sleep stages, and patients who have RBD may have vivid, intense dreams that are physically acted out.

“Identifying the problem is the first part of treatment. The solution comes from that,” Mitike says. “We try to diagnose the patient in the first two to four hours. If they have serious obstructive sleep apnea, we start CPAP right there, during the second part of the night.”

Question:

I can’t seem to get comfortable in the evenings and have an urge to move my legs or walk around. Could this be restless leg syndrome?

Answer:

Kelvin Yamada, MD

Sleep Medicine

(314) 362-4342

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is an interesting and complicated sensory and motor disorder that prevents or disrupts sleep. Symptoms consist of uncomfortable sensations, usually in the legs, accompanied by a strong urge to move for relief. Descriptions of the sensations vary and are often difficult for patients to explain. Crawling, tingling, burning, aching, wiggly, electricity, and bugs under the skin, are some of the descriptors people use. Symptoms are typically experienced in the evening when lying down to go to sleep, and not usually in the morning or daytime. Standing, walking, stretching or rubbing the legs relieves the uncomfortable sensations momentarily, but discomfort returns when the activity stops.

During sleep, brief involuntary movements of the legs (sometimes other body parts) may occur. These are called periodic limb movements because they occur repetitively and in somewhat regular intervals of a few seconds to several minutes. These movements may be subtle or violent and can be analyzed during an overnight sleep study, if necessary.

Approximately 10 million adults and 1.5 million children experience RLS. It is common for multiple family members to be affected, which suggests it may be hereditary. Low total body iron is sometimes associated with RLS symptoms, in which case, iron supplements may help.

Dopamine is a chemical-signaling molecule made by certain brain cells to transmit messages to other brain cells. Medications that mimic dopamine actions in the brain (such as those used for Parkinson’s disease) help RLS symptoms, while drugs that block dopamine actions (such as some anti-psychotic and anti-nausea drugs) may make symptoms worse. Other medications or substances that can worsen symptoms include antidepressants, antihistamines, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol.

Treatments for RLS include avoidance of drugs that worsen symptoms, mild exercises and stretching before bedtime, supplementation with iron if low, and medications that mimic dopamine actions in the brain. A sleep medicine specialist can help diagnose RLS and determine the best management plan.

treating apnea F. Scott Fitzgerald observed many upheavals brought by modernity to early 20th-century society, among them: “The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to.”

THE STATS

At least 25 million adults in the U.S. would agree.That’s how many Americans are plagued by obstructive sleep apnea, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. An estimated 26 percent of adults between 30 and 70 years of age have sleep apnea. And the numbers are on the upswing, most likely due to increasing obesity.

Sleep apnea is the repeated interruption of breathing during sleep, explains Dr. Raman Malhotra, a neurologist at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and co-director of the SLUCare Sleep Disorders Center. “A variety of things puts you at risk for sleep apnea. One is being overweight; a large neck circumference puts weight on the back of the throat, and when you are sleeping that causes blockage of the airway,” he says. “Large tonsils are another risk factor. But there also is some genetic component. Some people’s airways are more apt to block at night, even if they are not overweight or don’t have large tonsils.”

Sleep apnea also increases with age, he says, “partly due to weight and partly to other medical problems.”

You might have sleep apnea if you snore or breathe loudly at night, Malhotra says. Another indicator is feeling tired or sleepy, regardless of how long you spend in bed. It doesn’t take a lot of extra weight to have a problem, he adds. “You don’t need to be extremely obese. When we see these people walking down the street, we would not necessarily call them obese,” he notes. “If you are concerned, speak with your primary care doctor or make an appointment with a sleep specialist. We usually need to do a sleep study to measure breathing and see if you are really experiencing sleep apnea.”

WHAT NEXT?

“It is very common for kids to completely outgrow sleep apnea as their airway matures,” Malhotra says. “Adults don’t typically grow out of it.” However, the available treatments are highly effective, he adds. “Losing weight in many patients will cure them or make it less severe so they don’t need treatment,” he says. “Some surgeries of the upper airways can be done by ear, nose and throat doctors.”

The majority of patients use CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure, a machine that supplies constant air pressure through a hose and face mask. Studies have found that CPAP successfully reduces breathing interruptions in 50 to 75 percent of patients. In some, breathing disruptions may diminish after they change their favored sleep position. “These patients only have sleep apnea if they are on their backs,” Malhotra says.

SMALLER & SIMPLER

Another treatment option is an oral appliance, or mandibular advancement therapy. “These can be as effective as CPAP for mild or moderate sleep apnea,” Malhotra says. Oral appliances are custom-made by dentists trained in sleep medicine, explains Dr. Stacy Ochoa of Precision Dental Care, and consists of connected, adjustable, upper and lower retainers.

“When you are lying down, gravity pulls the jaw backward, the tongue falls into the airway, and the airway muscles collapse,” says Ochoa, a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. “The appliance brings the jaw and tongue forward, and there is a neurological reaction that increases the tone of the airway muscles.” As the patient becomes used to wearing the device, adjustments are made to advance the jaw slightly. It takes getting used to, she says, but studies have found higher rates of compliance with oral devices than with the much bulkier CPAP.

Now that we’re finally facing spring, it’s time to think light, fresh products—and

extra-pretty hands and feet. It’s not quite time to bare it all, but you don’t want to be caught short when those early sun-worshipper days beckon you to lose the socks and sleeves! Hands, feet, arms and legs require extra attention after their long hibernation stuffed inside clothing. Choose floral-scented products that are emollient enough to handle the task. Just like a beautiful butterfly emerging from its chrysallis, your body needs to prepare for its warm-weather debut!

Ortigia Creme Pour Mains jasmine Geranium

Deborah Lippmann Terra Nova and YSL Nuit Blanche

Aveda Foot Relief

Laura Mercier Verbena Infusion

L’Occitane Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc perfume and soap

This line has some of the most appealing scents you’ll ever experience, just as Miami’s The Four Seasons, Rome’s Hotel Baglioni and any number of five-star properties that stock it in their guest rooms can attest.

You can find the soaps and creams online. The Jasmine and Geranium varieties are especially well-suited for spring—but you can’t go wrong with anything this Sicilian boutique company offers.

Nothing says sunshine like whites, and if the style barometers are right, this is THE year for white. It’s being shown in everything from tops and bottoms to coats and cosmetics.

Nail polish reflects the trend with strong neutral beiges and a fun sparkler, Nuit Blanche, from Yves St. Laurent.

If there is a product out there that soothes rough, tired feet better than this one, I haven’t found it. And I’m always looking! The go-to cream for moisturizing feet, Aveda ‘s foot relief has a light, gingery scent and seems to cool while it softens. Especially with sandal days ahead, regular use can head off those cracked heels and dry toes.

With the warmer weather, most of us prefer lighter creams and odors. Laura Mercier’s new body cream in delicious verbena fits the bill. Its notes of green citrus and spearmint add a fresh scent, and the cream itself is light and lovely (and isn’t a budget buster).

Neiman Marcus, $18 (Lippmann) and $27 (YSL)

Light also describes L’Occitane’s new Iris series, Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc. The union of two iris varieties offers a subtle fragrance well-suited for spring.

what about the ingredients in the products that make us beautiful? Not so subjective. I recently spke with Julie Longyear, St. Louis-based holistic skincare expert and the owner of Blissoma, a certified vegan skincare line. Her take on ingredients is eye-opening and may make you rethink some of your beauty choices.

What red flags should consumers look for in their cosmetics?

JL| Hormone disruptors would be at the top of the list, things like parabens, triclosan, ozybenzone and pthalates that wouldn’t be listed individually but as part of ‘fragance’ in the ingredients panel. These can sink into the skin and act hormonally in the body, affecting health in myriad ways, from acne to reproductive problems to cancer. They are present in products in relatively small quantities but appear in many products, so if you layer them on a daily basis, it adds up.

What types of cosmetics carry the most harmful ingredients?

JL| If I had to pick the worst, it would be hair dye. Dye is an incredibly toxic process. Colors are made from coal tar residue and have been proven carcinogenic in mice. They also contain other chemicals like formaldehyde.

What are some of your favorite makeup brands?

JL| I only use naturally based makeup lines like RMS; its pigmented balms are a great value, look beautiful

on the skin and are completely toxin-free with a base of just natural oils. They are made by makeup artist Rose Marie Swift. Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques is another independent line that makes a wonderful cream mineral foundation and great lip products, too.

Why are certain toxins put into cosmetics?

JL| Chemicals that we now know can be toxic over time are included for their functional properties, and

if you ask many chemists in the industry, they’ll say they believe these ingredients to be perfectly safe.

“The dose makes the poison” is an adage you hear frequently, and it means that anything can poison you depending on how much you take in. However, cosmetic regulations in the U.S.are the most lax in the world, largely due to lobbying from major manufacturers. Europe has a Cosmetics Directive that requires the registration and lab testing of every product sold in the European Union. They have outlawed more than 1,100 cosmetic ingredients. The U.S. allows these ingredients. Japan has cosmetics regulations similar to Europe, and South Korea requires testing through its FDA to determine labeling accuracy and levels of claimed active ingredients. Global cosmetics companies often have two different versions of their products for Europe and the U.S. Europe gets the clean version, we get the dirty version.

Tell me about the ‘good’ ingredients. what makes them effective and healthier?

JL| Take Lauren Brooke’s cream foundation as an example. It contains argan and rosehip oils that are both moisturizing and anti-aging. It also contains neem oil that is antibacterial, green tea that has antioxidants, and zinc oxide, which is anti-inflammatory and provides broad spectrum SPF. The formulation is constructed of functional ingredients that also have vitamin and nutrient benefits for skin rather than petrochemical oils like in most drug store makeup products.

Tell me about your your background and Blissoma.

JL| Over the years I used herbs and natural remedies to solve many of my own problems. I took two years

of chemistry to learn more while I studied about essential oils and plants. My philosophy is that all aspects of a product’s impact should be addressed and considered. That includes how the ingredients are grown or procured—is it environmentally sustainable, is it leaving pesticide runoff, is the resource renewable?

What advice would you would give a young woman navigating the beauty market?

JL| Start very simple. When you’re young, you’re gorgeous anyway. Be you, and buy only the products that you absolutely need if you have a specific skin problem.

Alan Spilker dreamed big as a young boy growing up in St. Louis. “I always said if I ever came back when I was older, I wanted to get a house by Forest Park and one at the Lake of the Ozarks,” he says. He made both dreams a reality. Spilker moved away for college and says he kept heading west, eventually meeting his wife Jennifer in California. But when his mother became ill, they returned to his native St. Louis, a move he never thought would happen.

The couple initially bought a house in Ladue, but Spilker remained committed to living in the Central West End. The historic property on Lindell Boulevard, formerly the home of radio legend Jack Carney, caught their eye when they walked through it during a sale of his personal items.

“There are a lot of beautiful houses on Lindell, but this one has a very unique style,” Spilker says.

“And we particularly liked this end of the street because of its proximity to the Central West End and the Chase, where we often went for dinner.”

When the couple bought the house in 2008, it had sat untouched for the most part since the ’80s. “It was in disrepair,” Spilker says. “It was by far our biggest project to date—a complete restoration. We bought the house in early January and didn’t move in until the end of October.”

Everything was redone, from all the major systems (electric, plumbing, heating/cooling) to the landscaping and exterior grounds. The home was built in 1897 by Weber & Groves, and Spilker says they tried to maintain the integrity of this period on the first floor. “We imagined what it would have looked like back then and added modern conveniences,” he says.

They arranged the second floor to have both a master suite and a guest suite, and the third floor offers more bedrooms. “Jennifer really gets credit for picking everything out. Depending on the day you ask her, she would say it was fun,” Spilker jokes. They often entertained family and friends, and for guests planning to stay awhile, the renovated carriage house features two separate apartments. “It’s been called the nicest carriage house in the area,” Spilker says. “Carney kept horses, so the first floor has three stables, which we restored along with the blacksmith shop.”

The house, which was featured on the Central West End Association House & Garden Tour in 2011, has one of the few front porches on the street, which Spilker says is perfect for “watching the world go by”—and for taking in parades and festivals at Forest Park. “I enjoy taking something and making it better, and we did that to this house,” he says. “We restored it to something it had fallen from, which was very rewarding.”

ASID Letter from the President As president of the local chapter of ASID, the largest professional organization representing interior designers, I am honored to announce our partnership with Town&Style.

ASID is the oldest and largest professional organization for interior designers with over 20,000 interior design practitioner members who are qualified by education, experience and exam.

Our society is becoming more wellness-focused, with an eye on preventing illness rather than treating it. We are recognizing the importance of good indoor air quality free of pollutants, irritants and allergens. We seek thermal comfort, humidity control, proper ventilation and lighting, and biophilia (a connection to nature) in our homes, offices and recreation areas. As more and more is understood about the role the built-environment plays in the overall health and well-being of its occupants, designers and the value of what they bring to the table are becoming increasingly more important. Since more than 90 percent of our day typically is spent in a ‘built environment,’ it is obvious that the designer’s role in shaping that environment is critical to our health and well-being.

Designers are responsible for specifying healthy building materials, furnishings and finishes that are easy to maintain, environment-friendly, and do not include toxins or carcinogens.

Designers create floor plans with smart circulation patterns that consider function, future growth and expansion. Designers work to include natural light and natural forms. Designers concern themselves with proper HVAC, lighting and acoustical control. They concern themselves with family spaces, private spaces and service spaces. They attempt to include atrium or outdoor living spaces in their solutions. They work collaboratively to create universally designed environments that enhance the experience of the users.

Designers envision interiors as active living spaces that encourage active aging. They select furnishings that are value-engineered, and that support the user and the desired function. They know the products, sources, fabricators, artists and craftsmen to create unique environments that suit your needs, now and in the future.

Designers listen and create the look and feel you desire. Designers know the cultural, religious, regional and psychological significance of colors, patterns and textures. They respect these differences and know how to utilize these colors, patterns and textures to create the calmness, the awe, the drama, the beauty, the wonder that you desire.

In our culture, aqua, creams and neutrals, paired with soft, smooth textures and natural forms, evoke a spa-like feel. However, in the work or school environment, too many soft shades can relax or bore you to the point of “non-productivity”. As we can ‘under-stimulate’ in a given area, we can ‘over-stimulate.’ Bold, bright complimentary colors, strong patterns, and textural variation imply drama and action. Too much can stress or over-energize us. Red can say ‘eat’ or ‘love.’ Yellow says ‘look here,’ ‘caution’ or ‘beware.’ Green says ‘money.’ Purple says ‘regal’ or ‘royal.’ Blue says ‘trustworthy,’ and black says ‘authority’ or ‘control.’

Angled lines and overuse of pattern also can create tension for children or seniors. Curvilinear lines soothe, horizontal lines imply stability. Vertical lines give height and strength. Rough textures and forms evoke a rugged or rustic feel. Smooth, sleek textures and forms imply a modern, contemporary or glamorous feel. Soft textures such as velour, velvet and cashmere give a sense of relaxation and calm. In work and play, color and the message it sends is equally important.

In the business world, studies have demonstrated that people are 90% of an organization’s cost, far outweighing building and energy costs. So we want to design spaces that are supportive of the health, well-being and productivity of people in an organization. The same holds true for our residences, we want supportive environments that make for happy, healthy, productive engagement with family and friends.

When attorney Travis Noble first saw the Ladue home he purchased last August, he was immediately taken by two things: its unique design and its master closet worthy of housing his carefully curated wardrobe.

He shares the home with two daughters, 10-year-old Sydney and 5-year-old Victoria, as well as his girlfriend Phelan and three dogs, which explains its blend of sophistication and fun.

T&S | What first attracted you to the home?

Travis Noble | It’s a funky house—very unique. And the location can’t be beat—previously I was in Frontenac, but this home is only 1.8 miles from my office front door.

T&S | What are some of your favorite features?

Tn | The master bathroom. The previous owners had just redone it, and it’s very spa-like and tranquil. I also really love the back deck.

You can get to it from the master bedroom and the living room—both rooms have double doors that open out to the deck. I put in an outdoor TV and a hot tub, so I can sit out there at night, smoke a cigar and watch Sports Center.

T&S | What room do you spend the most time in?

Tn | Probably the TV room, which is next to the living room and has an 80-inch TV. My daughters and I like to sit there for movie nights.

But the basement is my kids’ favorite room. It has lots of games— Amini’s hooked me up with video games, arcade games, foosball and air hockey. I purchased them after I bought the house, because I wanted to make it my kids’ dream room. I surprised them with it for Christmas.

T&S | Have you done any renovations?

Tn | Everything was pretty much already done by the previous owner, but I did repaint.

And in the living room, there was a huge ceiling fan I took down and replaced with a locally created chandelier made of handblown glass that was inspired by Chihuly.

That was quite the project. But overall, I didn’t have to do a whole lot.

T&S | You seem to have quite the art collection! Where does it all come from?

Tn | A lot of it is by local artists, including Ted Collier, whose wife is Katie of Katie’s Pizza. I also have art from SJ Hammack, a local painter and photographer.

And I commissioned a few pieces from Brad Kessler—he’s a lawyer but has moved on to painting. I have a ton of glass pieces, such as bowls, from local artists, including Sam Stang and Tony Cray.

T&S | Why is it important to you to collect local art?

Tn | I have zero artistic ability, and I think anybody who can paint or work in mediums like glass is so talented.

I find it fascinating because I can’t draw at all. We have such great talent here locally, so I just started collecting pieces from local artists.

T&S | How would you describe your overall design philosophy?

Tn | It’s an eclectic mix. I would say the house is a midcentury modern, but I have very contemporary pieces mixed with more traditional pieces.

T&S | The coffee table in your living room looks unique.

Tn | It matches a smaller table I have in the entry of the house. Both are made from the root of a teak tree. And the 12-foot double front doors also are made of teak and are antiques.

T&S | I’m sure the closet was a huge selling point!

Tn | It was. I tweaked it a little bit because I am obsessed with clothes. I have to wear a suit every day, and I’m an obsessive shopper, so that was one of the main things I liked about the house: the closet fit my wardrobe. At my previous house, I had to turn a bedroom into a closet.

homework] Dear Homework,

We are new to St. Louis and would love to hear your ideas for maximizing the curb appeal of our Clarkson Valley home.

Sincerely,

Curb Appeal Appeal

Dear Curb Appeal Appeal, After

before

There are a number of subtle architectural improvements that I think would make your façade a far more elegant and authentic Southern Colonial. I will address them in order of importance to the overall effect of the remodeling.

First, I would like to remove the existing cupola and replace it with a taller, more elegant one, relocated to the main body of the house. This recalls historic homes such as Mount Vernon, as well as drawing the eye to a more important part of the composition.

Next, I would paint the brick white, to match the white siding of the side elevations.

When seen from an angle, (as when you are driving up to the home), it will now seem more ‘of a piece.’ New paint on the shutters and front door provide a counterpoint to all the white elements.

Further, the columns need major help. They look like they are sitting on a stack of painted hat boxes. We need to reduce this to a single, better-detailed pedestal and add the height to the fascia above the columns, where it’s sorely needed. Finishing details such as shutter hardware, a new metal balcony rail and corner evergreens to hide the garage doors and AC condensers all will tidy-up the look.

The landscape scheme is left intentionally minimal because the refined architecture carries the day.

Homework is penned by Paul Doerner, Founding Partner of the Lawrence Group. if you would like your home critiqued, contact us at homework@townandstyle.com
