CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE
SOCIETY SO SUPER BOWL WEEKEND IS UPON US. AS IN YEARS PAST, TRADITION at the Muyco-Tobin household dictates that the man of the house gets waited on hand and foot. (Before some of you ladies protest, rest assured that Mr. Tobin returns the favor come Oscar night.) The game-day feast is pretty elaborate and usually centers on a theme. Previous fests include a Cajun meal for last year’s Super Bowl from New Orleans, a Tex-Mex fiesta for Super Bowl XXXVIII, and a Southern-inspired spread for the showdown in the Georgia Dome that made the Rams the Super Bowl champs in 2000. As of this writing, the theme of this weekend’s feast remains up in the air. Should we go with a Rocky Mountain High spread (buffalo steaks, Denver omelets) or something Seattle-inspired like Copper River salmon and lots of coffee? Maybe we’ll pay homage to the host city of New Jersey—rippers and salt water taffy, anyone? Do you have a Super Bowl tradition? Share it with us on Facebook (facebook.com/laduenews) or Twitter (@LadueNews)!

DINING OUT—ELEMENT Lafayette Square has its share of fine pubs, bistros and assorted eateries. We found one that’s definitely raising the culinary stakes.
ON THE COVER: One of St. Louis’ oldest family-owned restaurants, Kemoll’s has been a tradition since 1927. Pictured on the cover: executive chef Don Tadlock, recreating a vintage magazine cover that featured Joe Kemoll, grandfather of current owner Mark Cusumano. For more information, call 421-0555 or visit kemolls.com. WE’RE SORRY: From p. 61 of our Jan. 24 issue, we would like to clarify the location of Gamlin Whiskey House. It is at 236 N. Euclid Ave., at the corner of Maryland and Euclid avenues in the Central West End.

My grandfather, Harold Traver, has an unbelievable work ethic. After the Dust Bowl relocated the family during his childhood, he started working—and never stopped. At 86, he’s still working full-time; the man just couldn’t enjoy retirement.
Sarah Crowder My 9-year-old daughter Katie inspires me. Since her Type 1 diabetes diagnosis in April 2012, she has kept a positive attitude and continued to be a star student and athlete. She is strong and determined, and I admire that!

HE ST. LOUIS PUBLIC LIBRARY Foundation transformed the Central Library downtown into the wonderful world of Oz for the Stranger than Fiction: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road event. Some 700 guests were welcomed by the Gateway Men’s Chorus, as they stepped into a space that was literally transformed: There was a poppy field photo booth, two magical haunted forests and two rooms of catered appetizers. The great hall also was transformed into the Emerald City with cocktail bars, a dessert bar, DJs and more. Proceeds benefit children’s programming at the St. Louis Public Library.

KEMOLL’S
A Top-Tier Tradition A
S ONE OF ST. LOUIS’ OLDEST RESTAUrants, Kemoll’s is a tradition not only for the family who runs it, but for countless other local families, as well. “We have some families who have been celebrating Christmas Eve at Kemoll’s for 50 years,” says fourth-generation owner Mark Cusumano. “They first came in here when they were little babies, and now they’re adults in their 50s, and they still celebrate here.” The staff, too, has become like family, with at least six employees who have been working at the restaurant for 30 years or longer, Cusumano notes. He himself grew up working in the restaurant alongside his siblings, and took the helm in 1980. His mother, Mary Grace Cusumano, still comes to work every day. “We’ve lasted for nearly 90 years by doing what Mrs. Kemoll told us to do, which is to stick to the basics: Make good food and give attention to your
customers, and that’s basically it,” he says. “It sounds really simple, but to execute it night after night for 87 years isn’t as easy as people think. There are so many people who open a restaurant because they’ve eaten at a number of restaurants, so they think it’s easy to just hire waiters and cooks, but there’s more to it than that.” Originally opened in 1927 by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kemoll at the corner of North Grand Boulevard and Penrose Street as a candy and sandwich shop, the restaurant evolved into a gourmet eatery in the 1970s and moved to Metropolitan Square in 1990, Cusumano says. Kemoll’s now occupies the 40th floor of Metropolitan Square, with its Top of the Met banquet facility on the 42nd floor. The venue, capable of hosting up to 250 guests, sits at the same Continued on page 63

patients, following their stays in children’s hospitals across the Midwest and the nation. From newborns to 21-year-olds, patients’ diagnoses range from genetic disorders to brain and spinal cord injuries, and babies suffering from the effects of prematurity. “We treat medically complex patients who no longer need the intensive care unit, but are not ready to go home. And we train parents on how to support their children after the hospital.” Ranken Jordan’s rebranding campaign also includes a new logo, featuring RJ, ‘a mascot on a magic carpet.’ “I call him the magic carpet guy,” Tanner says with a smile. “He symbolizes that kids can come here and we teach them how to fly.” She adds that it also reflects the “magic” that happens at Ranken Jordan. “We have kids and parents say that you made the impossible possible.” RJ also represents the hospital’s ‘care beyond the bedside’ model. At the hospital, the ‘magic carpet ride’ is a journey back to living again, Tanner says. And that means kids aren’t just patients lying in beds—they are up and about inside and outside the hospital. “We practice living at Ranken Jordan, not

Often with the help of volunteers, the staff leads kids in art therapy, playground time, skiing, golf, and trips to the Saint Louis Zoo, St. Louis Science Center, and Blues and Cardinals games. “When we had snow, we took kids out sledding on the property,” Tanner says. “And for kids who couldn’t go outside, we brought in buckets of snow so they could still play in it.” All 350 of the hospital’s employees take their respective roles related to caring for the young Continued on page 63

ike the foundation beams of a bridge, Ranken Jordan helps support kids and families with safe passage from the hospital to home. “The magnitude of the bridge is dependent on the needs of the family,” says president and CEO Lauri Tanner. “For some patients, it could be over a creek; and for others, it’s like the Golden Gate Bridge. But it is about moving, and it is about transition—with the end result being home for our children.” For that reason, the nonprofit pediatric specialty hospital has rebranded itself with the statement: Ranken Jordan is a bridge between the hospital and home for young patients and their families. Tanner hopes the rebranding campaign will bring clarity and awareness to the hospital’s identity and role in the community. Ranken Jordan often is confused with the local technical college, or one of the area’s full-service children’s hospitals, Tanner explains. “We no longer want to be the city’s bestkept secret—we want people to know who we are. We have always bridged that gap between tertiary children’s hospitals and home.” Ranken Jordan annually admits about 800

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT Dance St. Louis By Julia Christensen
MISSION: The name says it all—Dance St. Louis is focused on bringing dance performances and education to area audiences. In addition to presenting shows by acclaimed touring companies, Dance St. Louis provides dance-related programs like pre-show discussions, master classes and youth outreach.
COMMUNITY IMPACT: While Dance St. Louis does not have its own dance company, it offers programs and classes about dance and how to dance. The Monsanto Dance Education Residency Program provides two three-week programs per year that unite teachers from a touring company with students from urban middle and high schools. Six area schools participate in this program, and students who complete the course are invited to attend Dance St. Louis performances free of charge.
Diavolo
Additionally, a Young People’s Performance is presented once per year; these shows, aimed at a youth crowd, are shorter and less expensive than average, making them ideal for field trips. The outreach of Dance St. Louis extends beyond the schools. Uthoff says master classes are held with each visiting company, and have a typical turnout of 30 to 35 dancers. And prior to each performance, there is an installment in the ongoing discussion series, Speaking of Dance, during which professionals from the company “bring light to the audience about what they’re going to see, and why they do what they’re doing,” he explains. But of course, Dance St. Louis is not simply educational. At the core of the organization are the performances. Still on the docket for the 2013-2014 season is Los Angeles dance company Diavolo, “an incredible company that really defies gravity,” says Uthoff, as well as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. “That is usually a favorite—it’s one of the most popular American dance companies all over the world. They represent the power and nuances and simplicities of the American dance scene.” Additionally, the seventh annual Emerson Spring to Dance Festival will be held over Memorial Day weekend, and will feature 30 dance companies over a three-day period.
ON THE BOARD: RICHARD WINTER Richard Winter has been involved with Dance St. Louis on-and-off since 1998, serving in a multitude of leadership roles, including treasurer and board president. “They bring in wonderful performances from all over the world. Without this organization, we would not have the kind of dance we have available here in St. Louis,” says Winter, who is co-chairing the upcoming Ballet Ball, along with his wife, Kathie, and Joan Quicksilver.

He currently serves on the board of a number of area organizations, including Saint Louis University’s College of Arts and Sciences, Jazz St. Louis and Shakespeare Festival St. Louis.

HISTORY: Founded in 1966 by Washington University dance professor Annelise Mertz and a handful of other dance enthusiasts, Dance St. Louis was “mostly conceived as an outlet to bring in contemporary work—and specifically works of Alwin Nikolais, one of the artists [Mertz] was enamored with,” says artistic and executive director Michael Uthoff. The organization originally started with meetings held in someone’s living room and an operating budget of merely $11,000. “It certainly grew with companies; by the time I came on board, our budgets were fluctuating anywhere between $1.6 and $2.4 million.” Uthoff says some “came from begging, and the generosity of many corporations and individuals in the city; and close to 50 percent—or a little less— comes from ticket sales. We live in a time where the arts are totally dependent on the generosity of people. We’re trying to keep our ticket price accessible, and we’re way below the average market place; therefore, it’s the individual generosity that makes it possible.”

Shop Worth a Stop clair de lune BY BLAISE HART-SCHMIDT

Women of all shapes and sizes are enjoying clair de lune, the area’s newest bra and lingerie boutique. In addition to romantic lingerie, comfy sleepwear and undergarments by top designers like Stella McCartney and Elle McPherson, the store carries a large range of sizes (from 24 to 52 band size and A to K cup size.) It also sells high-end sports bras, as well as mastectomy bras and maternity sets. “We know how frustrating it is,” store manager Ana Martinez says. “We all have our battles of some sort—we want to help everyone. When you’ve exhausted all your resources in the department stores, hopefully that’s when you find us.” Employees of the store help customers find the right bra for them by taking their measurements and considering their body type. Owner Terry Levine says that 85 percent of women wear the wrong bra size, making bra-shopping difficult. “We take all the guess work out of it for you,” she says. Styles at clair de lune range from lacy to casual to cozy, from nighties to bras to flannel pajamas, in a wide range of price points. The store also offers private parties, giving women the chance to shop with their friends and get a discount on purchases. 9727 Clayton Road, 993-3232, clairdelunelingerie.com Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Sundays

Q&A with Vincent Longo
VINCENT LONGO WAS BORN IN AUSTRALIA TO ITALIAN parents and later moved to the Italian Riviera and finally, to New York City. The makeup artist has worked with legendary models, including the likes of Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum; and his work has graced the covers of both national and international beauty magazines. He has since launched his own eponymous makeup line. LN caught up with him recently when he visited St. Louis to debut the line at Soft Surroundings. Tell us about your line. I take a problem-and-solution approach to the line. For every problem that you’re trying to fix, I try to create a solution. A woman can transcend her beauty when she knows how to solve these problems and diminish the negatives she sees in her appearance. What are some examples? This time of year, many people tend to have a more sallow complexion and they want to brighten it. Using the right techniques, you can achieve an inner glow that stays on without migrating into fine lines, and you can do it easily at home. I do this by applying a cheek stain under the foundation. To complement that, you might use a lip stain—that’s a great base that lasts all day. Then, you can apply your pencil, lipstick and a gloss over it. Each product also has a particular benefit to it. My cream-topowder foundation, which is made using seaweed and water injected together, is very hydrating and holds moisture, but it also allows the skin to breathe without caking on or feeling heavy. The liquid concealer contains peptides to remove puffiness and under-eye circles. Likewise, the mascara has marine extracts to thicken and lengthen lashes up to 30 percent in six months. There’s an instant effect, but you can also see the benefits over time. And everything is made with no parabens or chemical preservatives. I’m working to make the entire line gluten-free as well.

What’s more fun—working with celebrities or with everyday people? I have a great time whether I’m working with Sigourney Weaver or with you—this job allows me to be creative and have fun all the way across. I’m passionate about my work—it’s my life. I’m fortunate to be able to cross over into all kinds of creative pursuits. I even do the photography for our products! It’s never dull. My goal is to help each person maximize the full potential of her beauty. When I teach master classes, I guide them, but they accomplish everything themselves. You have no idea the confidence that creates, and how good they feel about themselves—it’s so empowering. How can people get that excitement working with their own look and avoid falling into a beauty rut? Yes, you get into a comfortable routine, but always try to break out of it a little bit and try something new. When I work with a Continued on page 63

A:
his primary care doctor once asked the question, what is pain management?
Pain management is the reduction of pain so it least affects your day to day activities, function, and lifestyle thereby improving your quality of life. The field of medicine is complex with multiple specialties and subspecialties, which can cause confusion for patients.The American Board of Medical Specialties recognizes pain management as a subspecialty from Anesthesiology, Physiatry, Neurology or Psychiatry. Most painmanagement physicians come from the field of Anesthesiology, as most interventional fellowship training programs are provided in this specialty. It is important for patients to know who their pain management doctor is and what type of training they have had.The field is typically focused on chronic pain, which may arise from either the musculoskeletal and/or sensitive areas of the central or peripheral nervous systems.Treatments are highly focused and target the pain generator(s) and require the use of highly specialized equipment to assure the best possible outcome in a safe environment. Complex nervous system pathways carry pain signals to the brain via the spinal cord. Patients may present with different types of chronic pain, which may be intractable and persistent. Pain may arise from multiple sources—the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, after surgical procedures, soft tissue damage, stroke pain and cancer pain.The pain-management specialist will obtain a thorough history and physical and formulate a multimodal, multidisciplinary care plan for the patient with certain goals to be achieved. At times, the patient may require physical therapy, medications, psychological therapy, and/or interventional treatments to achieve their goal of chronic pain management. Some examples of pain treatments I provide include treatments for chronic low back or neck pain, sciatica, neuropathy pain, reflex sympathetic dystrophy or complex regional pain syndrome pain, cancer pain, whiplash injuries, sports injuries, arthritis pain and more.

FOLIC ACID AND PREGNANCY
One Piece of the Puzzle
M
BY CONNIE MITCHELL
OST WOMEN OF CHILDbearing age have heard the long-touted advice regarding the importance of folic acid (a B vitamin) to a healthy pregnancy and baby. For decades, prenatal vitamins have been standard care for women hoping to become pregnant and those who already are. Yet, this is only a piece of the puzzle when it comes to preventing birth defects. “All birth defects are not preventable, but appropriate management of health conditions and adoption of healthy behaviors can prevent many problems of pregnancy,” says Dr. Andrea Stephens, an obstetrician and gynecologist on staff at St. Luke’s Hospital. Taking a supplement containing at least 400 micrograms of folic acid can prevent 50 to 70 percent of neural tube defects, which are major birth defects of the brain and spine, such as spina bifida. However, folic acid supplementation is not the only thing women should do to decrease the risk
of birth defects. “Both alcohol and tobacco smoke have the potential to cause birth defects in pregnancy, so stopping alcohol intake and quitting smoking before pregnancy are important steps,” Stephens says. Some medications and infections can cause birth defects, so women should visit their primary-care physician prior to pregnancy to ensure they’re current on immunizations and review medications, Stephens adds. Also, managing weight and diabetes is important since both obesity and poorly controlled diabetes are associated with preventable birth defects. Despite the best efforts of women and their physicians, most birth defects occur very early in pregnancy and many are not preventable, notes Dr. Kimberly Martin, a SLUCare obstetrician and clinical geneticist. “Because spina bifida occurs before most women even find out they are pregnant, the extra folic acid must be taken every day for at least a month before she becomes pregnant,” she says. And because about half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned, even among married
women, Martin notes, all women of childbearing age should take the recommended amount of folic acid and control diabetes. If a birth defect is detected through prenatal Continued on page 63

THYROID AWARENESS
Maintain Proper Levels
BY CONNIE MITCHELL
Y
OU MAY ASSUME THAT FEELing tired, depressed, mentally foggy, constipated and heavy are just due to your overstretched schedule, stress and sedentary lifestyle. But if these symptoms make it hard to accomplish daily tasks or persist even with improved nutrition, hydration and regular exercise, talk to your doctor—one possible answer may involve your thyroid. “Thyroid disease includes a cluster of autoimmune disorders that cause low levels of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) or high levels (hyperthyroidism),” says Dr. Christy Richardson, an endocrinologist with SSM Medical Group at DePaul Health Center. “Hypothyroidism can occur in men or women at any age, but it’s most common in middle-aged women. Hyperthyroidism also is more common in women, and the autoimmune type tends to occur early in their 20s. Other causes of hyperthyroidism increasingly occur with age, and thyroid disease
tends to run in families.” Hypothyroidism may be the culprit for the cluster of symptoms noted above, as well as intolerance to cold temperatures, fluid retention, hair loss, decreased heart rate, dry skin, coarse hair, brittle nails, cholesterol abnormalities and infertility. Low levels of the hormone produced by the thyroid leads to decreased metabolic function, which affects almost every system in the body and can result in all these physical issues. The most common form of hypothyroidism, the autoimmune disease known as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, is estimated to affect between 0.1 percent and 5 percent of all adults in Western countries. If hypothyroidism is suspected, your physician will order blood tests that check levels of thyroid hormones. If these levels are subclinical (too low) and hypothyroidism is diagnosed, treatment typically involves taking a prescription thyroid hormone to bring levels back to normal. “Most thyroid diseases are not curable but are easy to manage,” says Dr. Veronica McGregor with Mercy Clinic Endocrinology. However, she
notes that ‘not every weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, etc., means thyroid disease. Consider if you are sleeping at least seven hours a night, if you are exercising regularly, and if you are eating healthy foods and normal portions.” “Hyperthyroidism is pretty much the opposite,” Richardson says. Symptoms include rapid heartbeat, heat intolerance, anxiety, nervousness, insomnia, weight loss, frequent bowel movements, tremors, racing thoughts and an inability to concentrate. If hyperthyroidism is detected, treatment may involve medication, radioactive iodine therapy or surgical removal of the thyroid. “An annual visit with your primary-care doctor will usually include a thyroid exam,” Richardson adds. “Screening should probably start at age 35 and then occur every two to five years, or as needed, should signs or symptoms arise.” Once thyroid disease is diagnosed, patients’ levels are checked more regularly to ensure their treatments are maintaining proper thyroid hormone levels.

Taking Fun Seriously By Brittany Nay

rom making movies and playing wa te r s p o r ts to l a u n c h i n g ro c ke ts, SummerQuest day camp is packed with exciting adventures for kindergartners to eighth-graders. The six-week summer camp, which draws about 600 kids annually, runs from June 9 to July 18. It offers three two-week sessions for kindergartners through third-graders, as well as fourth- to sixth-graders, and a two-week session for seventh and eighth graders. On the grounds of Shaw Park, Center of Clayton and Clayton High School, campers participate in arts, sciences, sports and other entertainment that keeps them coming back summer after summer, says camp director Doug Verby, who has been involved with SummerQuest for 10 years. Kids enjoy the camp’s exciting—and educational—programs, with favorites from swimming, cooking and archery to chemistry blowout and mini-med school classes, Verby says. For kindergartners through third-graders, SummerQuest campers rotate through a day of themed adventures during art and science classes and recreational sports such as tennis

and kickball, as well as instructional and free swimming. Fourth- through sixth-graders experience four daily periods of recreation, such as cooking, art studio, movie-making, dancing, cheerleading, photography, computer animation, magic, theater and rock band. “For the iMovie and band classes, we screen their movies and they perform a couple of songs at the end of the session,” Verby notes. Participants also have the opportunity to play a multitude of sports, including baseball, soccer, swimming, tennis, fencing, archery, bowling and rock-climbing. For seventh- and eighth-graders, there is more of an emphasis on the arts and sciences, including a canvas art class, Iron Chef and Confections and Pastries cooking classes, mini-med school and chemistry blowout science labs, rock-climbing, rocketry and brain games. “There are strategy games like chess and backgammon, as well as online games,” Verby adds. The enthusiastic and experienced staff makes SummerQuest stand out from other area camps, Verby says. There is a counselor for about every

10 to 15 kids, and the groups rotate through different classes led by certified teachers. “We hire the cream of the crop,” Verby explains. “These counselors are high school- and college-age students who really like kids. And we have a certified teaching staff from local school districts, including Clayton, Rockwood and Parkway.” Verby notes SummerQuest is much more than a daycare. “We emphasize fun as the No. 1 rule. If there is an activity where kids are having fun, we expand and improve it; and if there are activities kids do not like, we end them. We take fun seriously.” For working parents, the camp also provides before- and after-care programs from 7 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. Registration is open for this summer’s sessions. The sign-up deadline is May 30.

The Adventure of a Lifetime By Blaise Hart-Schmidt
F
acing hunger, frostbite, long days and the absence of most modern-day amenities, six men—Henry Cordeal, Jess Hernandez, Andrew Hubb, Chris Martella, Kyle Terry and Ben Woods—spent last summer trekking roughly 1,000 miles during 58 days from Saskatchewan, Canada, to the Arctic Ocean. They called it the Tri-Province Arctic Canoe Expedition, and were the first group to connect the Dubawnt, Morse and Armark rivers. St. Louis natives Cordeal, Hubb and Woods attended Rossman School together, and met the other three as campers at Camp Kooch-i-ching in International Falls, Minn.. Combined, the men have spent more than 70 summers at Kooch-i-ching, as both campers and counselors. Kooch-i-ching director JR Verkamp had all six men as campers back when he was a counselor himself. Each summer, he watches as new, unsure, nervous campers grow into confident young men. Though this expedition was the sixth trip to the Arctic done by Kooch-i-ching alumni, the
Tri-Province trip was the first sponsored by the Camping and Education Foundation, the parent company of Camp Kooch-i-ching. The crew assembled at Kooch-i-ching before departure to prepare, reviewing emergency procedures, creating contingency routes, going over maps and packing. Two weeks later, armed with three sets of equipment and enough food to last 70 days, the men set out on what was sure to be a grand adventure. Along the way, the group collected water samples for isotope testing at the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. The samples are being used to create isoscapes, which can help trace humans, migratory animals and even terrorist activities. Woods, who works as a photojournalist, shot photos of the trip for National Geographic. On a typical day—though days differed Continued on page 46

Continued from page 45 drastically, depending on terrain and location—the men woke between 5 and 6 a.m. They got on the water an hour later after taking down the tents, packing and eating breakfast—usually hot cereal. The group would paddle until 1 p.m. before stopping for an hour for lunch. They’d continue on in the afternoon, and set up camp by 8 p.m. “We’d have dinner and go to bed pretty much after that,” Woods says. “We went to bed pretty early. Having that hour in the tent at night was nice. You were exhausted, but it was nice to be able to read, write in your journal or talk to whomever you shared a tent with that night.” Woods says the men consumed about 3,000 calories a day, but he estimates they burned at least twice that: each lost between 20 and 30 pounds during the course of the trip. For lunch, they ate meat and cheese on tortillas or hardtack, or peanut butter and jelly, which was “everyone’s favorite by the end of the trip, because it was most filling,” Woods says. In the evenings they often ate freezedried, pre-prepared meals, supplemented with dried meats, quinoa or fresh fish they caught. Still, hunger always loomed. “You have to make a very conscious effort to not think about food when you’re paddling,” Woods says. “Any of the meals—if I ate them now—would be perfectly satisfying and filling, but our bodies just wanted so much more. I stopped dreaming
about anything but food…I couldn’t sleep some nights because I was thinking about food so much.” Travel depended on the condition of the rivers and lakes: They paddled upstream against the current in flowing rivers, dragged or carried canoes over frozen lakes, and waded for miles in freezingcold waters too shallow to canoe. Every 10 days, the trekkers used a satellite phone to call a friend back home, who would then send an email to friends and family, letting them know of the group’s progress. Physical exhaustion, uncertain terrain and hunger led to “potential for people to get snippy or disrespectful with another,” says Cordeal. “But we did a great job of being mindful of where we were and who we were with. We were patient with each other and communicated, and we succeeded in the teamwork aspect.” Fifty-seven days after setting out, the men
reached the Arctic Ocean—and the end of their endeavor. “There was always a chance that we wouldn’t [make it],” Woods says. “That was a sense of accomplishment I had never felt before.” Both Cordeal and Woods agree that Camp Kooch-i-ching gave the men the skills, knowledge and attributes to complete the trip. “This group of six individuals is really the definition of what Kooch-i-ching is about,” says Verkamp. “All six are extremely different in regards to types of ability and personalities. Because they grew up at camp year after year, they were able to go 60 days together for 1,000 miles, sharing food and the workload. There aren’t too many groups of six individuals who could do that.”

Q&A with Patricia Shipley, head of school
What sets Rossman apart? Our character education. We have four guidelines that we really try to live by: kindness, honesty, respect and responsibility. They’re not just for the students, but for the whole community— the parents, the teachers and the children. Our character education program is not separate from what we do every day. It’s an integral part of what we do here. It’s just as important as our rigorous academic program. We try to do the best that we can to help each child grow to be the best that they can be. What’s your favorite Rossman tradition? The holiday program. We have 230 students who are all dressed up in little red capes and sing Christian, Hindu and Muslim songs. We celebrate the diversity of our children at the same time we’re celebrating the holidays. Rossman was founded in 1917, and the tradition goes back to the 1930s. What would people be surprised to learn about Rossman? People would be surprised to learn about the diversity of the school. Thirty percent of our children represent ethnic diversity. We also have a very good financial aid program, so we’re able to help families who might not be able to afford our tuition. That enables us to have economic diversity, which I think is important for every student in the school. What’s a rewarding experience you’ve had with a student here? I think about a child who came to us from another school in a lower grade. When he came to us, he was a shy child, not very confident in his abilities. By the time he left us in sixth grade, he was a very confident little boy who had learned to express his feelings and his concern for others, and the values that were important to him. He gave a three-minute speech at graduation that really set him apart. He told us how much he had developed from the time he had come here, academically and emotionally. It was a great experience to get to watch that development all the way through his schooling. Mission statement: Rossman provides a strong, well-balanced education in a nurturing school community committed to excellence.

S
t. Louis natives have a strong connection to their city. So many a St. Louisan goes off to college or accept a job elsewhere; but somehow, at some point in their lives, they return to their roots. Amy Lefton is one of those people. After moving to Chicago for post-secondary education and embracing the big-city life, her journey took a turn a few years back and she came home to St. Louis. It really was family that brought her back to the city in which she was raised. Her mother and siblings were here, and it made sense to raise her newborn twins near them. The hunt for the family’s new home also took a surprising turn. In the Windy City, Lefton had a condominium and loved the carefree life that type of living afforded. Of course, her initial efforts in St. Louis involved finding something similar to settle into. Lefton looked and looked and looked, but nothing was ‘clicking.’ It was then when she decided that maybe a house was the way to go. Lefton found a house in Clayton that had potential, but she really didn’t think it was ‘the one.’ After exhausting all the other options on the market, Lefton went back to the house in Clayton and looked at it through the eyes of possibility. She then decided that this 1920s stucco facade home

was indeed ‘the one.’ Her family, however, was less convinced. After all, this was a rather large home: 5,800 square feet that included a pool house and a guesthouse over the garage; a large, ¾-acre lot; and an in-ground pool—not a minor undertaking for a single parent of twins! Not to mention that about 10 years ago, the home had undergone what some may define as a ‘conglomeration of styles and tastes.’ The main level was fairly straightforward contemporary and required minimal renovation, but the upstairs definitely was the result of a strong Asian-spa-design theme. “The house definitely had two different personalities,” Lefton proclaims. Indeed, the exterior was a cross between Tuscan and Palm Beach Revival, the landscaping was haphazard and the front door was just plain wrong.
Enter Lefton’s longtime designer, Shelly Handman of Handman Associates from Chicago. Their designer/client relationship had been so successful in the past that to bring him in for this facelift not only was necessary, but also a treat, according to Lefton. Helen Lee of Tao + Lee in St. Louis was consulted for all architectural changes required. Lefton wanted this home to be kid-friendly, and also have the ability to incorporate the things she loved from her previous home. All of the new ‘leather’ fabrics were faux, and fun things were done for the kids’ spaces, such as painting a wall in the children’s playroom with chalkboard paint so they can “go to town” with their artistic endeavors. In reconfiguring the master suite, Handman created an award-winning master bathroom for
Lefton that replaced the six-seater tub that was previously installed. The use of linen for most of the draperies, as well as on the master bedroom walls, keeps the house young and fresh. Handman also is a genius at mixing high-end furnishings from top vendors with fun accessories from moderate resources like CB2. Handman also unified the spaces through paint choices, lighting and fabrics. Lefton almost always agreed with her designer on choices, with the exception of a carpet: He acquiesced to her choice for a rug from Crate & Barrel for the TV room. They had to put two rugs together to keep the scale correct; but when it was installed, Handman loved the result as much as Lefton did! It is a stunner! All in all, Lefton says, “This house is a lot of maintenance, but so worth it when I see my kids playing in the backyard!”

WELL, WE ARE MID-AWARDS SEASON—AN underwhelming awards season at that—and we’re finally through January, notoriously the worst month of the year for movies. It’s gray outside and grim in the cineplex. Nevertheless, refusing to give up on a Hollywood that seems to have done nothing but disappoint over the past year, we look to the future. We cling to the hope that when the new buds appear, so will a new crop of movies—a bountiful harvest of action, comedy, drama and suspense. So, renew your Netflix account and Hulu Plus for the next couple of weeks, and then get excited to go to the movies.

REVIEWS THEATER REVIEW
The Other Place BY MARK BRETZ
THE STORY Research scientist Juliana Smithton is a driving force in her field. While she touts the virtues of a pharmaceutical drug called Identamyl, though, she seems to space in and out of her presentation. There’s a disturbing reason for that attention annoyance: Juliana is being treated by a colleague of her oncologist husband, Ian, for a neurological disorder. She struggles to keep her life together, coping with an analyst whom she does not respect, as well as the myriad infidelities of Ian, and a tense and estranged relationship with their daughter, Laurel. At age 15, Laurel ran away from the family’s retreat at Cape Cod with Juliana’s lab assistant, a man 15 years older than her. Laurel and her lover now have twin daughters, grandchildren Juliana has never seen, which only exacerbates her deteriorating condition.
HIGHLIGHTS
COMPANY: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis VENUE: Emerson Studio Theatre, Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road DATES: Through Feb. 9
This presentation at The Rep of playwright Sharr White’s one-act, 85-minute drama features a harrowing performance by Kate Levy as the tortured central character in a taut and tense production impeccably directed by Rob Ruggiero.
TICKETS: $49-$63; 968-4925 or repstl.org
White is an accomplished writer, as evidenced by this terse, tense and clever script. Combine that with Ruggiero’s expertly crafted direction, splendid technical support and some finely etched performances, and you have the ingredients for an evening of thought-provoking and heart-tugging theater.
RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5.
Levy is masterfully convincing in the difficult lead role of Juliana. Initially, Juliana comes off as arrogant, nasty and condescending. Then, just as quickly, she stuns with an offhand remark about a “familiar trickle of regret” at her own sarcastic comments.
More reviews available at laduenews. com
R. Ward Duffy does a marvelous job conveying the frustration, alarm and concern of Ian for his wife. Amelia McClain does excellent duty in three roles: as the defensive, adult Laurel; the perceptive analyst, Cindy; and an accosted homeowner. Clark Scott Carmichael capably completes the cast capably in several minor male roles. The Other Place will stimulate your brain and linger in your heart long after the lights dim on Juliana’s challenging afflictions.
April 11 Draft Day Early rumblings about an award-worthy performance by Kevin Costner are giving this movie a lot of traction. Costner stars as the general manager of the Cleveland Browns, who is tasked with choosing the No. 1 draft pick for his struggling team. It’s Any Given Sunday meets Moneyball. Sabotage It’s Arnold, DEA agents, drug cartels, moles, double-crosses and revenge. What more do you need? Hey, if he keeps making them, I’ll keep watching them.

Element
An Element of Taste BY SIDNEY LEWIS
LAFAYETTE SQUARE HAS ITS SHARE OF FINE pubs, bistros and assorted eateries. Most of these, though, are situated on the north side of Lafayette Park, leaving the area to the south a bit desolate from a restaurant point of view. But Element is well on its way to changing that vibe. Located in what was the former power plant building for City Hospital, it’s definitely raising the culinary stakes. Element is split into two levels: the main dining room on the second floor and the lounge one floor up. The dining room is sleek and spacious, with a glorious open kitchen as its centerpiece. There are a handful of tables that line up right next to it, and provide a superb view into just how those delicious dishes come to be. The upstairs lounge is a cross between upscale watering hole and cozy drawing room, with a plethora of soft seating. But Element isn’t just a pretty face. The splendid space serves as a classy backdrop for the fine food that’s currently being crafted by Element’s coterie of chefs. Even the most pedestrian of dishes get treated with seriousness and respect. Take the Fried Oysters, for example. Instead of relegating them to filling a po’ boy, they’re spread across a board on stripes of tomatillo aioli. Perhaps the best fried oysters we’ve had, they melted across our tongues as soon as we breached the lightly breaded exterior. Likewise, the Fish Stew ($20), is like no seafood stew you’ve ever had. No rustic bowl of mystery chunks here. Rather, a delectable, flaky piece of fish (wild striped bass was the market
choice during our visit) on a bed of cabbage with pieces of tender kielbasa and encircled by lightly briny broth. The Polenta ($16) was almost akin to pastry, crisp, and filled with creamy goat cheese. It should be noted that everything we had was plated to perfection. The kitchen staff knows full well the value of the visual element of their food and they present each dish to be as enticing as possible. The deconstructed Payday bar, peanut butter nougat adrift amid caramel sauce and crumbs of toffee, almost was too pretty to eat—almost. Along with its food, Element has a tasty beverage program, as well, boasting some good beer and wine selections. There also are custom cocktails like the El Flora Sinner ($11), made with Four Roses bourbon, El Dorado Five Year rum, lemon, egg white and honey; and the London Rose ($10), featuring Yahara Bay aged gin, port, elderflower liqueur, lime and topped with cava. There are lunch and lounge-specific menus, as well, plus plenty of dedicated parking and proximity to all the major highways. Hopefully, along with new developments like the Fields Foods just across Lafayette Avenue, Element will be a cornerstone of the renaissance of the ‘other’ half of Lafayette Square. It definitely deserves a spot on everyone’s must-try list.

height as The Gateway Arch, offering unmatched panoramic views of the riverfront and the city from the top floor of St. Louis’ tallest building. The restaurant still features many of the classic recipes passed down by Mrs. Kemoll—Cusumano recalls the cheese bread from his childhood, which is still made the same way it was 87 years ago—but also continues to keep its menu fresh with additions by executive chef Don Tadlock, who joined the team five years ago. “He’s from St. Louis, and he’s a really talented guy,” Cusumano says. “His style is very eclectic. He’s well-versed in not only Italian, but also French, and sometimes even creates Asianinspired menu items.” And while guests at Kemoll’s receive a top-tier gourmet dining experience, Cusumano also hopes they feel like they’re at home. “The service is very comfortable and friendly; it’s not overbearing,” he says. “A lot of places come and go, but we basically do what Mrs. Kemoll did 90 years ago, and that’s what people in St. Louis like. That’s why we’ve been around longer than pretty much anybody.”
client, I don’t want to shock the user; I want to hold their hand and help them see themselves in a better light. If you’re in a rut, you can start by using seasonal colors. Think of your makeup like an accessory: Just as you refresh your wardrobe for the season, you want to refresh your whole image.
testing, families and physicians can prepare appropriately, says Dr. Michael Paul, an obstetrician on staff at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “For parents who are expecting a child with birth defects, planning and recognizing the special needs of a child who will need special care as a newborn allows them to prepare psychologically and adjust their expectations,” he says. Some birth defects are treatable before the baby is born, although this is an evolving and highly specialized medical field. “The treatment of most birth defects currently is undertaken after birth,” Paul says. “Many heart defects identified prenatally require early neonatal surgery to allow optimal potential for survival.” Physicians agree that, although awareness of folic acid’s importance has resulted in fewer neural tube defects, women should talk with their physicians about what they need to do to help ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby.
RANKEN JORDAN continued from page 26 patients seriously, Tanner notes, from pediatricians, rehabilitation physicians, child and family psychiatrists, nurses and child life therapists to members of the finance office. “Even if you ask our cleaning staff what they do here, they say, I help take care of these kids.”
And even more caring people are needed to assist Ranken Jordan as the need continues to rise—the medically complex patient population has grown 28 percent across the state in recent years due to advancements in medicine, Tanner says. “Ranken Jordan needs to be here to take care of more of those kids. I welcome anybody who wants to give us a call, take a tour or get involved. They’ll be surprised at all the great work we do here.”
IF YOU’RE IN A RUT, YOU CAN START BY USING SEASONAL COLORS. THINK OF YOUR MAKEUP LIKE AN ACCESSORY.
How can women take their look up a step for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day or a big night out? First, make sure to contour your brows. That will refine your look. You also want to really define the upper bow of your mouth, which is something a lot of people don’t think much about. Third, make sure you get coverage under and inside your eyes—without this, your look won’t appear refined and complete. With all three of those pieces together, you’ll look polished.
