You want to join a company that’s going to be around forever.

Berkshire Hathaway is built to be forever, it’s true of all our businesses that we own. You want to be part of an organization that’s not looking to sell out next week or next month or next year or where the place will crumble when the founders leave.

In terms of permanence, we can’t be beat. Not only can we not be topped by anyone, we can’t be matched by anyone.

CONTENTS SOCIETY IN 1955, THE FORMER St. Louis Globe-Democrat NEWSPAPER CREATED AN awards program that would recognize exemplary women for their community service. Since then, the Women of Achievement awards have honored hundreds of St. Louis-area volunteers for their dedication and commitment to the community. Ladue News, among others, has been a proud presenting sponsor of the Women of Achievement for many years.

On Tuesday, May 5, Women of Achievement will celebrate 60 years at its annual luncheon at The Ritz-Carlton, when 10 of the area’s most open-hearted citizens will be lauded for their service.

I was fortunate enough to get to know some of this year’s honorees during a recent Ladue News fashion shoot. To say that these women exuded an aura of benevolence and grace would be an understatement. They truly are the prime example of beauty, inside and out.

See for yourself: Our Women of Achievement spread begins on p. 21.

WE HAVE GONE AS A FAMILY TO HILTON Head, South Carolina, almost every year for the last 30 years. First, it was the four of us; and now, the family is six adults and five grandchildren. I will never forget the sheer joy of our first grandchild when she discovered the beach and the ocean. I treasure the photo in my office of her pudgy 18-month-old legs and the joy on her face when she discovered the beach.

HIKING THE GRAND CANYON WITH MY boys was a definite family travel highlight.

There’s nothing like enjoying the fresh air, sunshine and physical challenges of hiking, while being constantly amazed by the aweinspiring geography and wildlife of one of the world’s natural wonders.

A photographic collection celebrating Missouri musicians and bands in the ’40s and ’50s has been compiled in a new book, Moonlight Serenade to City Lights: Rare Images of Bands and Orchestras from the Dance Hall Era in Missouri. The book, from Lindenwood University professor KENNETH JOHNSON, is filled with rare images that previously only were displayed in private homes and business.

The photos chronicle musicians who entertained a generation of Americans during ‘dance-hall Saturday nights,’ when adults and children gathered to eat, drink, visit and, of course, dance.

A new children’s book from Webster University alum KATHLEEN BEINING offers youngsters a lesson in making new friends.

Mrs. Bumbleberry’s Garden is about the adventures of 5-year-old Katy, who feels isolated in her new home, and her 67-year-old neighbor, Mrs. Bumbleberry. The book, the author’s debut, is the first in a planned series of 10 books.

Finding A Cure is Priority No. 1

BY LISA WATSON

ATIE LAWLESS WAS 4 WHEN SHE wa s d i a g n ose d w i t h Ac u te Lyphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). She had been dealing with constipation and fatigue, and then developed petechiae (a rash associated with leukemia). Together, these symptoms led her mom, Megan Lawless, to contact their pediatrician. Katie’s initial treatment included two-and-a-half years of chemotherapy, but when she had been off treatment for six months, she relapsed. That led to another two years of chemotherapy and cranial radiation, and the second bout of ALL left Katie blind in her right eye, Lawless recalls.

Although Katie was so young during her first round of treatment, she still was aware that she couldn’t go out and play like her siblings, Lawless says. “She felt too miserable to do that; and if she did go out and play, she would pay for it the next day.” But today, Katie is off treatment, and is attending fourth grade. She loves art, plays the violin and sings in the children’s choir at church.

Drew Dacus similarly was diagnosed with T-Cell ALL when he was 7. The first symptoms were easily overlooked, according to his dad, Tripp Dacus. “It was summertime and he’s a very active kid, and he had complained about being tired. But we wrote it off as him playing outside every day.”

Drew also developed petechiae, but the family had just been on vacation, so they thought it was just a rash.

Drew was diagnosed when his mother, Danielle, took in his newborn brother, Mac, for a wellness exam. “The pediatrician recognized it as petechiae, and she sent us to Children’s Hospital,” Tripp Dacus recalls. “We spent the next week to 10 days in the ICU, and the next three-and-a-half years on a roadmap with daily oral chemo, weekly hospital visits and numerous overnight stays. It was a horrible situation.” However, Drew had his last chemotherapy treatment in November 2013, and now only goes in for checkups once every two Continued on page 61

NIGHTLIFE Go from dinner to enjoying the nightlife with such places as Eclipse Restaurant & Terrace Bar at the Moonrise Hotel, Market Pub House, or Three Kings Public House. Find an endless beer selection and giant pizzas at Cicero’s Restaurant, or stop in at Blueberry Hill, well-known for its fun pub décor and as a favorite place for rock-and-roll legend Chuck Berry to drop by and still play. For something really late at night, try the new Peacock Loop Diner for classic eats, and then some. Perhaps you find yourself in the mood for a different kind of activity, in which case, Pin-Up Bowl might be right up your alley. You can choose an independent film or cult classic at the Tivoli Movie Theatre for your evening entertainment, or catch a concert at The Pageant venue. Grab a drink before or after the show at The Halo Bar.

Peacock Loop Diner

The food options seem endless along Delmar Boulevard, but once you figure out what you are in the mood for, our guide will lead the way to your top choices. Pick up a treat at the soda and candy store, Rocket Fizz, or a self-serve cup of scrumptious yogurt from Fro-Yo. Satisfy your sweet tooth with an Italian tartlet from Piccione Pastry, or stop off at Miss M’s Candy. Consume a sinfully good beverage at Blueprint Coffee or Meshuggah Café.

For spicy cuisine, try out Fork & Stix, Gokul, or one of Pat’s Thai Restaurants: The Thai Country Café, The Thai Gai Yang or The Thai Pizza Café.

Get away from the mundane with a stroll along this grand street. Stop in at Avalon Exchange for youthful attire, like a vibrant bustier top. Spice up your leggings selection with a pair in space-age print found at Blue Bird Apparel for a look that is very geek-chic. Stay hip in urban fashions from Sole & Blues or G’Sell, like a Dirty Harry tee or a suede wedge sandal. Or, for your bike equipment needs, visit Big Shark Bicycle Company.

Model a modern look in a twist crop top with a floral pattern or a heart cut-out little black dress from Pitaya. If you want a mature yet frisky fashion boutique, go to Sexy Buddha Boutique for evening wear in leopard print or a metallic sheen. Find sparkly, two-piece prom dresses at Boutique Calla Lily, or go silver-screen starlet with a retro gown from Devil City.

Choose a fine leather briefcase with gold buckles from Sole Survivor and be the best-dressed in the office. You also can shop for elegant accessories, like a classy timepiece or brushed silver bracelet, at The Silver Lady.

Choose to deck your home in art that is created by talented St. Louisans and showcased at Serendipity Gallery, or create your own masterpiece to hang with the help of Blick Art Materials.

Opt for a practical piece of furniture, like a trendy chaise from Loop Living Furniture, to accentuate

Asian-fusion and Middle-Eastern fare at places like Ranoush, Al-Tarboush Deli, Blue Ocean Sushi, and Ginger Bistro. Or you might want to grab a gyro at Gyro House. Seoul Taco offers Mexican-fusion cuisine, while Mission Taco Joint creates bold new combinations for its Mexican fare. Tavolo V encourages you to try a classic with a twist—Italian, vegetarian-style. Or you can always choose crowdpleasing favorites with restaurants like Pi, Classic Dogs and More, and the always-fun destination, Fitz’s American Grill & Bottling Works.

The Boulevard also offers an ideal apartment location at Allegro with all the amenities to help you live large. Make your next excursion to The Boulevard an all-day affair with plenty of places to assist in livening up your closet and home.

A living room designed by I.O. Metro

For the globetrotter with a pulse on fashion, look no farther than Laurie Solet Boutique to find a poem tee and skinny jogging pants for a look that will take you from flight passenger to jetsetter in no time.

Enhance your work attire with fitted Riviera pants and a textured top from Loft.

Elevate your living space with an architect desk for your home office from I. O. Metro. Or find an elegant mirror that doubles as a safe from Soft Surroudings, a perfect way to hide your precious jewels bought from Jared-The Galleria of Jewelry. You also can add to your everyday accessory selection with a leather bow cuff or art deco earrings a la Geranium.

A bride-to-be will fall in love with the topquality gowns found at Brides by Demetrios.

SHOPPING Freshen up your living space with excellent décor choices offered at Williams-Sonoma, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, and K. Hall Designs, such as cute animal pop molds, or a fresh-blood-orange-and-amber-scented soap and lotion set.

the help of beauty products, like a skin perfector from L’Occitane En Provence or a moisturizing cream and primer from M.A.C. Cosmetics.

Go from sand volleyball to the boardwalk in hip workout attire from Athleta, or choose the breathable fabric of lululemon athletica, where you can get colorful and comfortable swimwear to go boogie boarding on your vacation getaway.

Stash your souvenirs for the return trip home in your duffle shoulder bag from COACH. You can choose to bring out your adventurous side in an elegant zebra print tunic from Chico’s, or a fiesta off-the-shoulder top in bright coral from EVEREVE. Simplify your look with a loose tent tunic from Eileen Fisher, or choose something minimal with only a pop of color, such as a mint green and white-trim button-down shirt found at White House Black Market. Top off your look with a trademark purse from Louis Vuitton.

Or take a break with a fruity concoction during BRIO Tuscan Grille’s happy hour. Once you are famished from having loaded your car with goodies galore, opt for a divine dinner served up at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar or Cardwell’s at the Plaza.

THE DOCTOR IS IN

Safe and Sound

M ‌

BY DR. JOSEPH KAHN

Y LAST COLUMN TALKED about a parent’s role in keeping our kids safe. I want to continue the topic by looking at seat belts and vaccines. What do they have in common, you ask? Keep reading to learn...

Over the years, many things have been discovered or invented to keep us safer than the previous generation. For instance, seat belts in cars were designed in the mid-1940s. In 1959, Congress passed legislation requiring seat belts in American-manufactured automobiles. Air bag restraint systems were installed in cars beginning in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

There were some early issues and some

wuphysicians.wustl.edu

apprehension about how both of these devices worked, and whether they might even sometimes harm passengers. A great deal of thought and resources were put into refining them to make them as reliable and effective as possible. This work was done by engineers and scientists, whose concern was improving the safety of vehicles.

Research now proves the minimal risk associated with use of these safety devices is vastly outweighed by the indisputable evidence supporting their worth. Seat belts and air bags are now accepted as an essential part of a new car. Antilock brakes, car design and sensing systems also protect the driver and passengers, but complement, rather than replace seat belts and air bags.

Medical Matters Q: I just had a colonoscopy and they found polyps, do I need to worry?

Steven Hunt, MD

Washington University

Colorectal Surgery (314) 454-7177

Polyps are abnormal growths on the inside lining of the colon. One common polyp is a hyperplastic polyp, which is essentially harmless. Another polyp type is an adenoma. Adenomas are not harmful in the early stages.

If not removed, however, they can degenerate into a colorectal cancer. It usually takes years for an adenoma to develop into cancer. If adenomas are detected early and removed by colonoscopy, your risk of colorectal cancer is dramatically decreased. With appropriate colonoscopy screening, colorectal cancer is one of the few preventable cancers.

Currently, recommendations are to have your first screening colonoscopy at age 50. The timing of subsequent colonoscopies is dependent on the findings.

If you have a relative who has a history of colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps, you should talk to your doctor about the timing of your first colonoscopy, as it may need to be performed at an earlier age.

Sometimes, adenomas are too large to remove with a colonoscopy. These adenomas have a higher risk of developing into a cancer, and surgery may be required.

Large adenomas in the rectum (the last part of the colon) can often be removed directly without requiring an invasive surgery. Adenomas higher up in the colon may require an operation to remove a portion of the colon for treatment.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer in the United States, but it is preventable. If you are age 50 or have a family history of colorectal cancer or adenomas, talk to your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy. It could save your life.

Do you have a question for one of our specialists? If so, please email WU.Physicians@wustl.edu for consideration in Medical Matters.

So, ask yourself these questions: • ‌Do you understand how seat belts and air bags are built and how they work?

• ‌Do you trust the information and data that shows their value in preventing serious injuries?

• ‌Are seat belts and air bags merely moneymakers for car manufacturers, or are they in place to protect you and your family?

• ‌Do seat belts and air bags protect you from injury?

• ‌D o seat belts and air bags ever harm anyone when they are deployed, eve n i f eve r so rarely?

• ‌I s the minimal known risk o u twe i g h e d by the documented increase in safety?

• ‌Will you ever have an accident in which your seat belt or air bag saves your life?

• ‌Can you avoid an accident that d e p l oys t h e a i r bags by planning or driving skill?

• ‌C a n you predict when that accident will occur?

• ‌Would you consider insisting the seat belts and air bags in your vehicle be removed or disabled?

• ‌Would you purchase a car without seat belts and air bags?

• ‌Would you allow your spouse, teenager or parent to drive a car without seat belts or air bags?

Now, please re-read the questions above, but substitute the word ‘vaccinations’ for the words ‘seat belt’ and ‘air bag.’

While there are many strong opinions on the topic, I know I can’t change the minds of everyone. But, I ask, if you wouldn’t think about removing seat belts or air bags, why would you ever consider not vaccinating your child against preventable illnesses?

Many thanks to my colleague, Mercy Clinic family physician Dr. Hugh Donnell in Rogers, Arkansas, for the thoughts contained in this article.

Keep Them Safe & Healthy

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

‌S

PRING BREAK AND THE UPCOMING SUMMER VACATION season mean families will be traveling. And the best way to ruin a great vacation is by getting sick. Fortunately, there are some common-sense tips to help ensure everyone stays healthy, and ready to enjoy new experiences abroad.

Airplanes are notorious for tight quarters and shared surfaces, where germs can spread easily, yet exposure to contagious illness in any busy travel locale can present a danger, as the recent measles outbreak originating in Disneyland illustrates. “In general, public exposure in any crowded space increases your risk of illness, especially airborne viral illness such as the common cold, influenza and the measles,” says Dr. Kathleen Berchelmann, a pediatrician at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Measles is a serious illness that most people are protected from via childhood vaccination, but the most common viral illness is traveler’s diarrhea, which affects 20 to 50 percent of international travelers. Maria Walls, an adult nurse practitioner at West County Medical Associates at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, notes that sunburns, altitude and motion sickness, and bug bites are other common maladies affecting travelers. “Blood clots are not as common, but can occur with long car, train or bus rides, or airline flights,” she adds.

“Older patients and those with obesity, pregnancy, acute illness, cancer, or those who just had surgery are at highest risk.”

While these potential illnesses range from merely annoying to life-threatening, most people can safely travel without getting sick.

People who have chronic disease or are immunosuppressed should check with their primary-care physician to determine if special precautions are needed. “Rather than change your travel plans based on risk of illness, it’s best to really focus on taking precautions to keep you healthy,” Berchelmann says. “Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer with you and use it frequently. Be careful not to put your fingers near or in your nose or mouth. Don’t be afraid to wear a mask on an airplane.”

THEME-PARK-FREE TRAVEL

No FastPass Needed

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

‌A

RE YOU READY FOR SUMMER VACATION? If you’re thinking of yet another trip to a crowded theme park, it might be time to ‘think outside The Mouse’ and consider some of the theme-park-free options local travel experts suggest to create wonderful memories for all ages.

“When traveling with kids age 4 and younger, your choices are very limited,” notes Julie Jones, owner of TopFlight Travels. “It’s most relaxing and enjoyable for parents to take their children to a beach. Children under 4 years old are most likely not permitted in kids’ camps, so parents hire a nanny in the afternoons during nap time and adult dinner time. At 4 years old, kids enjoy the camps, while parents relax.”

Luxury beach resorts in North and South America and throughout the Caribbean cater to families and offer a wide range of activities.

“Families with kids of all ages love all-inclusive and beach vacations, especially villa rentals,” says Nancy Stein, owner of Aldine Travel. She recommends Half Moon or The Tryall Club in Jamaica, Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, and Grand Velas Riviera Maya in Mexico. “Kids of all ages love Atlantis Paradise Island (in the Bahamas), or for that matter, just about any resort with a water park,” she adds.

By renting a resort villa, families enjoy resort amenities but have extra space and the flexibility to prepare simple meals themselves, avoiding the hassle of restaurants three times a day. Separate bedrooms allow everyone to take time to themselves, as needed.

Another great option for parents with young children is a cruise. “The absolute very best cruise line for families where the kids and the parents have fun is Disney Cruise Line,” says Jones. “I don’t recommend them when grandparents are also traveling, because they can’t stomach the Disney part as easily as young moms and dads.”

This summer, Disney Cruise Line is traveling for the first time to the Norwegian fjords and Iceland.

Your family can discover the majestic fjords, steaming geysers and scenic mountain ranges of Norway, while hiking, glacier walking, fishing and cycling. (If you can handle all the references to Frozen, that is.) Disney also transports families to ports throughout the Baltic, visiting Copenhagen, Denmark, Russia, Sweden, Norway and Finland.

“Once children are at least 6 years old, they are ready for grander adventures,” Jones says.

“When traveling with children of this age range, it’s important to travel with a company focused on the needs of children. If your kids aren’t having fun, you won’t have any fun.”

Jones recommends Abercrombie & Kent’s family luxury small group journeys. “For example,

42

March 27, 2015 {LadueNews.com}

your family can have the adventure of a lifetime in China,” she says. “You can cruise on the Yangtze River and through the amazing Three Gorges on a three-night cruise; visit the ancient Great Wall of China, then ride a toboggan back down; see the Terra Cotta Warrior army and make your very own clay soldier; meet panda bears in person at a special sanctuary for the bears; and see Shanghai from the tallest building in China.”

If that doesn’t interest you, maybe a customized tour of Russia or Australia would be more your family’s style.

Traveling by train in Europe is another popular option, Stein says. “Itineraries can be customized to include sights and activities that kids would enjoy, such as a scavenger hunt in a city, a

mask-making class in Venice, or learning to make pizza in Rome.”

Options for exciting family travel are almost endless. And while considering your options, don’t overlook the splendor right on our own doorstep: America’s national parks.

“If you are looking for a most unique experience, nothing beats Amangiri, an ultra-luxurious resort located in a secluded Utah canyon in the middle of the Grand Circle of national parks and monuments,” Jones notes. “It offers customized outdoor adventure activities, such as hiking, rock climbing, slot canyon tours, rafting, mountain biking, boating and hot-air balloon flights. It also has a 25,000-square-foot Aman Spa for Mom and Dad.”

WEST COUNTY PLASTIC SURGEONS

More Options, Better Results ‌W

BY BRITTANY NAY

OMEN ARE RECEIVING A HIGHER level of personalized care with West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University. The combination of new research and technology, and the FDA approval of a wider range of breast implants, is resulting in more naturallooking and longer-lasting results, shorter downtime following surgery and greater patient satisfaction, notes Dr. Terry Myckatyn.

Myckatyn and Dr. Marissa Tenenbaum, West County’s board-certified plastic surgeons, say more options are giving patients better results. “Today’s implants aren’t just one standard look. Within just the last few months, there are more shapes and styles to better fit some patients’ requests and get closer to what they want,” Myckatyn explains.

“There are varied widths and heights to make the implant more appealing to a particular woman, as well as differences in feel, in terms of how firm or soft they are. All these factors provide a more tailored appearance to the breast.”

In addition to more implant choices, technology is advancing. For the past two years, the practice has utilized Vectra XT 3-D imaging software to simulate what a particular implant would look like for a

patient before surgery. “Now, we also can look at breast lifts, or breast implants and breast lifts at the same time,” Myckatyn says. The relationships the surgeons develop with patients also help achieve more personalized results, Tenenbaum notes. “The doctor-patient relationship is really important.

You have to find a surgeon you are really comfortable with, and feel like you can be really honest with.” Once that trust is formed and the choice to have breast surgery has been made, the surgeons can guide patients to the best choice of implant for what they are hoping to achieve, she explains.

New research also is advancing patient care.

Techniques used throughout the breast augmentation process have been refined, leading to faster recovery time (less than a week) and longer-lasting implants—two to three times longer than the 10- to 15-year average of a typical implant in a majority of cases, Myckatyn says. The physicians group has been awarded research grants to conduct a number of studies, including the impact of implants on patients and reducing the incidence of related infections. “We are staying on the cutting edge to make sure implants are safe for patients,” Myckatyn notes. The group also is sharing these new findings

in nationally published medical articles to help improve patient care across the country.

Beyond new research and technology, Tenenbaum says the patient experience at West County Plastic Surgeons sets the practice apart.

There is camaraderie among the staff, from the receptionists to the nurses and doctors, and patients can sense that, she notes. “Everyone is so warm and welcoming. It feels like a family here, and our patients feel at ease and at home in our office.”

THE MOMMY MAKEOVER

AVING A BABY IS EXTRAORDINARY, AND pregnancy takes an extraordinary toll on a woman’s body. Some women bounce right back with nary a stretch mark in sight. Others aren’t so fortunate.

Depending on the natural elasticity of the skin, age and the number of pregnancies, women’s postpartum bodies can look quite different from their firm, perky, smooth pre-pregnancy appearance.

Stretch marks and sagging skin may mar the abdomen, and breastfeeding may leave breasts not as full and firm as before.

Some women are untroubled by these consequences, seeing them as mere reminders of an important life milestone. Others, however, cringe at their postpartum appearance and feel selfconscious about the changes wrought by pregnancy. For these individuals, there is a solution: the ‘mommy makeover,’ which typically involves breast and abdominal procedures, the areas most affected by pregnancy.

Dr. Christian Prada of St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery notes that liposuction often is performed along with other procedures to provide a sculpted appearance for women who have excess fat.

“After pregnancy, many patients suffer from loss of breast tissue and excess skin, which ultimately 44

March 27, 2015 {LadueNews.com}

contributes to sagging of the breasts. A breast augmentation combined in some cases with a breast lift can help them achieve a very youthful appearance to their breasts,” he says. “They also often develop stretch marks, loose skin, poorly healed C-section scars and muscle laxity of their abdomen that can be vastly improved with an abdominoplasty (also known as a ‘tummy tuck’).”

Prada notes that patients should be aware that the best post-surgical results are achieved when they can get as close as possible to their ideal body weight prior to surgery.

Another consideration for many involves cost.

“The mommy makeover is not covered by insurance and is strictly cosmetic,” Prada says. “Total cost varies according to the procedures done, but typically average between $12,000 and $15,000.”

In addition, patients should be aware that cosmetic breast surgery and abdominoplasty are major surgical procedures that carry risk and require anesthesia and considerable recovery time.

“All patients should seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform these surgeries,” Prada says. An initial consultation is important to clarify expectations and review similar patients’ results in order to make an informed decision.

With all questions answered, details understood,

and child care in place during and immediately following the procedures, many women are thrilled with their results, turning back the clock and feeling good about their bodies as they watch their children grow.

F YOU WANT TO MAKE 60 YOUR NEW 40, there are numerous ways to achieve a more youthful appearance. From surgery to simple makeup techniques, women can maintain a younger, fresher look.

The most invasive, but potentially effective, method is plastic surgery. “Establishing reasonable expectations for plastic surgery is a critical part of the consultation,” says Dr. John Chi, a Washington University facial plastic surgeon.

“Turning back the clock 20 years is not an unreasonable goal in the appropriately selected patient.

Each individual’s aging pattern and facial aesthetic needs are unique.” However, Chi notes, “we usually don’t quantify the outcomes of facial rejuvenation in terms of years of life, but rather quality of life.

Not all plastic surgery involves the lengthy recovery required following a traditional facelift. “The pain usually subsides a day or two after surgery, but the swelling can last for a few days up to a few weeks,” Chi says. “A good rule of thumb is that the patient should be ready for an outing to the store in a week, back to work in two weeks and out for dinner in a month. The primary issues that are not addressed in a facelift involve the quality of the skin (blemishes, acne scarring, sun damage), aging around the eyes and loss of volume in the face.”

Other procedures performed alone or in conjunction with surgery can provide solutions to these issues with less downtime.

For instance, laser resurfacing is a less invasive option that may help reduce signs of aging.

However, “individuals should realize that it has taken years to damage the skin, and a quick fix is not a realistic expectation,” says Julia Jansma of Infinity Laser Hair Removal & Skin Rejuvenation.

“Those individuals who are experiencing deep lines and wrinkles, coupled with severe photo damage, will get the best results from fractional CO2 resurfacing,” Jansma says. “The downside to this type of laser is that there is significant

Julia Jansma, Infinity Laser Hair Removal & Skin Rejuvenation

discomfort and downtime.” With these aggressive laser procedures, the superficial skin layer is removed, revealing more youthful looking skin once healing has occurred.

“Sublative skin resurfacing treatment is the most progressive fractional radio frequency (RF) treatment on the market,” Jansma says. “Sublative rejuvenation fills the void between the nonaggressive skin rejuvenation (PhotoFacial) and the aggressive fractionated laser therapies.” The technique works on all skin types, tones and colors, and results are equivalent to deep chemical peels but without the downtime, she adds.

Finally, hair and makeup can go a long way in maintaining a more youthful look. To ensure that makeup glides over wrinkles without caking in creases and drawing more attention to them, use a good facial primer, says Brittany Summers, a makeup artist at Blown Away Blow Dry Bar. “I recommend something like Smashbox Photo Finish

Foundation Primer, which has grapeseed and green tea to help minimize fine lines, while the velvety finish guarantees that makeup glides on evenly and lasts all day,” she says. “Less is always more for maturing skin. A golden-brown smokey eye is much more flattering than a dark nighttime smokey eye, and the same goes for lips. Keep colors neutral, light, fresh and you won’t go wrong.”

Hair color and style is another key part of a youthful appearance, says Dominic Bertani, owner of Dominic Michael Salon. “The finish is very important,” he says. “You don’t want a helmethead look. Hair should have some movement to it, and a good short to mid-length cut with a great shape and styling techniques can be very youthful.”

Gray hair can be fresh when paired with a flattering cut, Bertani adds. For women who want their gray brightened or disguised, new coloring techniques are more natural-looking than ever before.

Skin Deep

40-some years of experience, I can tell you that this philosophy doesn’t work long-term. Instead, we’ve been using peptides—biopeptides, hexipeptides—these amino acid fragments stimulate collagen production quite significantly.

You also want to protect the skin from the environment—pollution, daily grime, perspiration and sun exposure. The best ingredient I’ve found for this is zinc oxide, which protects the skin and also has antibacterial activity. So even if you perspire or touch the face during the day, having zinc oxide in the product helps protect the skin.

How many skin care products are needed for a good regimen? I’m a strong believer that less is more. The essential is cleansing; and depending on the type of skin, we might change the cleanser.

If you have large pores or oiliness, we may add a granular cleanser to prevent the formation of blackheads; but if you have older skin that has lost its elasticity, you don’t necessarily want a granular cleanser. You may instead want a product that has an exfoliator on a swab. Ours is called Rapidex, which is our No. 1 seller. So one or two products will account for cleansing.

For nourishing and hydration, for example, you might use a serum designed to reduce redness from rosacea, for oiliness, or one to reduce wrinkle formation. And then you would use a moisturizer, which should have a protector in it. If it doesn’t, then you’ll want to have that protection in a separate product. That gives you a maximum of four products on a daily basis.

Q&A

BY LISA WATSON

with Lydia Sarfati of Repechage

L‌

YDIA SARFATI IS A LICENSED esthetician with more than 40 years of experience in the skin-care industry.

She also is the founder of Repechage, which makes products based on the benefits of seaweed; and to this day, she remains closely involved with her brand’s research and development, as well as production. Sarfati also is the chairman of CIDESCO USA, an association promoting the highest standards in the esthetics industry. We asked her about creating a good anti-aging regimen at home: Most of Repechage’s products are based on different types of seaweed—why is it so good for the skin? Since St. Louis is a little landlocked, you may not have access to the world’s best Mecca, which is the sea. Seaweed and our own plasma have an uncanny similarity. Seaweed essentially is a concentration of sea water and delivers to us the wealth of all the mineral trace elements and amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, polysaccharides and mucopolysaccharides, which help with water retention in the skin.

It is the perfect natural plant source that suffers from no deficiency.

What’s the most important element of a good anti-aging skin care regimen? I have always been a very strong advocate of proper cleansing.

There’s no reason to put serums, moisturizers or nourishing cream on skin that has not been properly cleansed. My Bible to anti-aging is cleansing, which includes exfoliation. It has to be a gentle, proper cleansing to have the best effect, which means the cleanser, whether gel or mousse, needs to be chosen for your particular skin type.

One of the biggest culprits I see that actually

accelerates the aging process is induced constant irritation of the skin. Preventing inflammation redness and irritation is a key element when we speak about anti-aging. You want to avoid anything that’s highly alkaline or acidic, without neutralizing the skin. Once the skin is clean, the key is hydration, so you will follow up with a moisturizer.

What makes a good moisturizer? It’s a formula, like baking a cake. You need emulsifiers, and you want to use the best emulsifiers, which include oils derived from coconut, shea butter and grape seed oil. The base formula is very important, and most of the time moisturizers just use water and oil as their base. We use a proprietary blend of deionized water, seaweed, orange water and aloe. We mix this proprietary base with oils and then add in the actives. There are several good actives for an antiaging moisturizer, besides seaweed, which is so rich in vitamins and trace minerals. For example, hyaluronic acid boosts retention of moisture in the skin by as much as 400 percent.

Then comes stimulation of collagen production.

A bad moisturizer is one that will cause skin irritation, usually from retinoid acids. Why do so many people use them if they’re not good? The basic thinking is that if you cause irritation of the skin, it will boost collagen production. A lot of anti-aging treatments work on the principle of damage. With

What makes serums unique? Unlike moisturizers, serums normally don’t have ingredients that are occlusive. Our serums are minimum 35 to 30 percent serum of seaweed. The base is pure extractions of seaweed. Then, we add different active components, depending what the serum is designated to do. They work like torpedoes to penetrate through the corneum (the outer layer of the skin) and deliver the desired results. Think of serums as a treatment—they’re always more intense, with a higher concentration of active ingredients.

What other tips do you have for keeping skin looking young? I’m a strong believer in the holistic approach to skin care. What you put in your body is as important as what you put outside your body. Certainly, wholesome nutrition that includes lots of green vegetables, at least six to eight glasses of water a day, exercise and a proper lifestyle. Part of my beauty regimen is actually taking nightly baths, because that will allow you to relax. A bath with seaweed makes it even more of a detoxification and purification. After you wash, apply moisturizer and oil to prevent any kind of itchiness. Sleep also is a very important part of beauty. If you don’t get a minimum of six to seven hours of sleep, you’re not going to look your best.

The lifestyle and daily care that you put in is the insurance policy that will help you look great when you’re 60, 70 or 80.

SPORTS CARS

Got A Need for Speed?

F

BY ROBERT PASTER

OR THOSE OF US WITH A NEED FOR speed who love to explore the performance limits of our cars, the vehicle of choice for maximum driving fun is a sports car. With the added benefit of typically beautiful styling, a sports car can put a smile on your face every day you drive it.

The BMW Z4 is a classic two-seat convertible that combines the enjoyment of a sports car with modern technology and features that make it a practical daily driver. Chief among those features is a retractable hardtop with a heated glass rear window, which offers the best of both worlds: an open-air convertible with the top down, and a weather-tight, secure coupe with the top up. Either way, the Z4 is a very good-looking little car with traditional long hood, short rear-deck proportions and the classic BMW twin-kidney grill.

Of course, the combination of BMW and sports car should equal the ultimate fun-to-drive machine.

The Z4 35i boasts a 3.0-liter inline, 6-cylinder twin turbo engine that pumps out 300 horsepower to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission with paddle-shifters. That’s a lot of power for such a small car, which means it is quick!

Unfortunately, and incredibly, no manual transmission is offered in the Z4 35i. Come on, BMW! This is a sports car. Let us fully enjoy it. A manual is offered in the lower horsepower 4-cylinder Z4 28i, however. Gas mileage for the 6-cylinder is 17 mpg city, 24 highway. The best driving feature, after the copious power, is the tight steering feel through the thick, leather-wrapped wheel. It makes the Z4 feel like a go-kart. The firm, athletic suspension and excellent brakes only add to the feeling. This car is a blast to drive.

As mentioned, this is a small car, so if you’re taller than average, getting in and out may take a bit of flexibility and headroom with the top up could be an issue. Otherwise, there’s plenty of cabin room, and the heated well-bolstered seats are both comfortable and supportive for spirited driving. Amenities include dual automatic climate control, power seats, a garage door opener, selfdimming mirror and rich leather throughout the cabin. Thankfully, audio and ventilation controls are knobs and buttons, no video screen or iDrive.

The trunk is an afterthought, since it has to hold the retractable hardtop, so pack light.

Joe Cacciabando, sales manager at Plaza BMW, says he likes the Z4 because “it has a retractable hardtop, lots of power, excellent agility, and its performance is second to none.”

The Z4 35i starts at about $58,000. The 4-cylinder turbo Z4 28i begins at $50,000.

Ford Mustang

The classic, accessible American sports car is, of course, the Ford Mustang, which is celebrating its 50th year in production this year with a newly redesigned body, independent rear suspension and array of three engine choices. Proof of Ford’s belief that this car will be a worldwide success is demonstrated by the offering of a right-hand drive version for the first time, so petrol heads in the U.K. and Australia can enjoy them. The new styling is a modern, more aggressive interpretation of the retro look based on the late ’60s fastback Mustang, an automotive icon.

At 188 inches long, it’s a lot longer than it looks due to its well-proportioned body. The coupe has great lines, but no sunroof is available.

Available heated and cooled front seats are nicely bolstered and comfortable. Dual zone automatic climate control insures interior comfort. A center stack touchscreen displays audio controls and navigation, plus a compass, thermometer and the back-up camera. Numerous buttons on the steering wheel control myriad functions, including track apps such as an accelerometer, acceleration timer and brake performance indicator. Blind-spot and cross-traffic alerts are nice safety features.

Available readouts for boost vacuum, cylinder head temp, voltmeter and oil pressure and temp are welcome gauge replacements for a performance car. The rear seat is best left to really small kids or briefcases. The trunk is fairly big, but not very tall, and the rear seats fold down.

Three different engines are offered in the new Mustang, ranging from a 310-horsepower, 2.3-liter turbo 4-cylinder, to a 3.7-liter 300-horsepower

V-6, to a 5.0-liter V-8 that churns out 435 pavement-melting horses. Of course, the smaller the engine, the greater the fuel economy, so you can pick your trade-off between power and economy.

We’ll concentrate on the 4-cylinder turbo with a 6-speed automatic with paddle-shifters that gets 21 mpg city, 32 highway; but I can tell you the V-8 is a monster in the classic muscle-car tradition, especially with a stick. Dash-mounted toggle switches allow you to adjust the driving mode and steering feel to your liking. The sport settings on both felt best to me, and really transformed it into a sporty ride with good handling.

With the 4-cylinder, acceleration is good, if not overwhelming, with just a hint of turbo lag. The manual mode to the automatic was much more responsive, and argues for getting the available true manual transmission.

My favorite feature of the Mustang has to be its sequential turn signals that flash from right to left or left to right, depending on which way you’re turning—great fun for those behind you.

The new Mustang has a lot to offer, according to Barry Pannett, general sales manager at Paul Cerame Ford. “The next-generation Mustang is sporty and responsive, and has a sleek design front and back. The 310 horsepower of the eco-boost engine is very impressive, especially when you consider that it also gets 32 mpg.”

Prices for the new Mustang coupe range from about $24,500 to $42,500, depending on which engine and options are chosen. Add about $5,500 for the convertible version.

MARCH 27, 2015 {LadueNews.com}

Dog Daze So, I’m back. After working and living in New York on and off for almost two months; and filming the TV show I wrote and created with my ‘work wife,’ Kim Cella, I’m back to reality. The show, Almost There, is finished and will premiere on DirecTV’s Audience network in the fall.

I have happily returned to the ins-and-outs of daily life. I mean, you can only get the stink eye from the sales girl at Hermes so many times before you need to take a break. Plus, life here has a certain glamour: I get full VIP treatment at Ladue Market, and I’m on a first-name basis with the cop who routinely pulls me over on Clayton Road. Of course, just when I’ve settled in to my comfortable routine, there’s a wrinkle: My dog needs oral surgery—glamour, indeed.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my dog. She’s an illtempered puggle who jumps up on the table to eat our leftovers, but I love her. I just can’t wrap my brain around some of the things people do with their dogs. Over the past several months, I have seen a woman pushing a dog in a stroller; also, I’ve seen dogs in outfits (I’m talking full ensembles: coats, hats and shoes), dogs in Baby Bjorns, and dogs cruising the aisles of stores. Dogs get cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, acupuncture and visit the salon. I’m a human, and I don’t do most of that.

When my vet informs me that Beans, our dog,

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER

needs oral surgery to have four teeth extracted, a barrage of thoughts jumble in my head: First of all, her breath smelled like an old diaper left in the hot sun, so something had to be done. My first thought is that this is a dog—a creature that roamed the plains in packs eating small burrowing animals and sleeping in dirt. If such a creature had gum disease, wouldn’t nature simply take its course?

I mean, nobody is watching those wolves attack Liam Neeson in The Grey thinking, I wonder who flosses their fangs at night? Granted, the vicious beast prowling the wild is not a designer pug beagle mix, still I stand by my point.

Then, there’s the word, surgery. Surgery is surgery. It’s a qualified medical professional cutting into a living thing to remove something (or add or adjust something). Yes, in this case, it’s four teeth, but I’m not made of stone. It’s a little dog on a steel table anesthetized, and it’s difficult to watch. The operation was a success. Beans is back to her usual unruly self, chewing on shoes and stealing food right off the plate (that’s on me, I know). Only now, when I spot her burying one of Cranky’s flip flops in the yard, I smile: That’s my dog!

The Gunman MISFIRE

RATING: 4 out of 10

BY MARK BRETZ

T

HINKING ABOUT THIS film, I’m vaguely reminded of last year’s The Counselor. It had a cast that read like an Oscar-party guest list, an A-list director and an intriguing premise. It also had a script that made you want to crash your car into a telephone pole. So, without further ado, I present you with The Gunman.

In 2006, John Terrier (Sean Penn) is a gunman with a team of mercenaries in Congo. After a particularly significant assassination, he is forced to disappear leaving his lover, Annie (Jasmine Trinca), behind without an explanation or a goodbye. Years later, John is back in Congo working on a humanitarian mission when a group of men come to kill him. The attempt sends John back to his former associates, including Cox (Mark Rylance), and Felix (Javier Bardem), who is now married to Annie.

I don’t know. Looking back at the description, it sounds like a pretty interesting movie. Unfortunately, it is not. Even Sean Penn disappoints. Say what you want about Penn’s politics, his intelligence, his personal life...but the man can act. This time, it’s like he realized halfway through that this thing was a tire with a slow leak—and after two hours, it’s completely flat.

NEW ON DVD April typically is a great month at the cineplex—just not this year. In the meantime, here’s what’s good on DVD. Boyhood Lauded by critics and the Academy, the film follows the life of a young boy struggling with the everyday trials of life. If I wanted to discount a decade of serious artistry, I would say the film is slow as a glacier. If I wanted to, but I don’t.

Nightcrawler The further I get from this intelligent thriller, the more I realize what a good movie it is. Jake Gyllenhaal battles his moviestar looks playing a smarmy would-be tabloid crime journalist.

When he inserts himself into a crime story, the lines between reporting and investigation become blurred.

The Captive If you liked Prisoners and The Vanishing, this is right up your alley. Ryan Reynolds plays a young father who leaves his daughter in the car while he runs into a convenience store. If you guessed that she gets abducted and Reynolds is a suspect, and his entire world unravels, give yourself a gold star.

Into the Woods On a lighter note, Meryl Streep and company bring Stephen Sondheim’s creative blend of all things fairy tale to the screen.

Son of a Gun Ewan McGregor has incredibly good judgment when it comes to his Indie film roles. Here, he plays a convict in an Australian prison who takes a young inmate under his wing. After the two orchestrate an escape, their relationship becomes intertwined.

Interstellar After 72 awards ceremony speeches, 417 Lincoln commercials, and a binge session of True Detective, you might be a little sick of Matthew McConaughey. If not, have at it. Here, he plays an astronaut on a search for a new habitable planet for mankind.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

MARCH 27, 2015 {LadueNews.com}

THE STORY Vanya and his sister, Sonia, have lived in their parents’ picturesque country home since childhood. Now in middle age, they find themselves living in the family home at the largesse of their sister, Masha, a fading actress best known for her title role in the Sexy Killer slasher flick and its sequels.

The two of them idle away their days mostly sipping coffee and wondering what might have been. Occasionally they’ll be warned of some impending doom by their cleaning lady, Cassandra, whose premonitions go unheeded.

Masha (the kids were named by their college professor parents after characters in various plays written by Anton Chekhov) arrives unexpectedly one day, with her much younger lover Spike in tow; and the sibling feuding promptly begins. Two surprises await Vanya and Sonia: Masha has invited them to a costume ball. And, oh yes, she has decided to sell their ancestral home.

HIGHLIGHTS Playwright Christopher Durang won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play for this bright, witty and uproariously funny salute to the 19th-century Russian master storyteller himself.

The Rep’s season-closing presentation of this wonderfully clever paean to many things Chekhovian is given an expert rendering by director Michael Evan Haney, and a sixplayer cast who know well the tenuous art of evoking laughter.

RATING: A 4.5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

COMPANY: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis VENUE: Browning Mainstage, Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road DATES: Through April TICKETS: $21-$76; 968-4925 or repstl.org More reviews available at laduenews.com

The work’s most memorable moment is a stunningly poignant scene with Sonia (Suzanne Grodner) conversing via landline phone with a gentleman whom she met at the party. Grodner’s range of emotions in that one scene is breathtaking.

Each of the other players is equally adept at inhabiting the very real characters in Durang’s script. As Vanya, John Feltch is at turns charming, reassuring, retiring and even an unexpected peacemaker between the frustrated Sonia and demanding Masha.

Elizabeth Hess does very well in the role of Masha, who considers herself larger than life and has the five failed marriages and young boy-toy as proof.

Shinnerrie Jackson sweeps across the stage as Cassandra, a modern version of the prophetess in Greek mythology. But this Cassandra is from Jamaica or thereabouts, which Jackson plays hilariously to the hilt with a lilting accent.

Jefferson McDonald spends much of his time stripped to his skivvies as the body-worshipping Spike, long on lust, brimming with excess energy but quite a bit short in gray matter.

Enjoy a most rewarding cup of coffee and a truly uplifting ending with Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.

We told you a while back that food truck Vincent Van Doughnut was going to be opening a new brick-and-mortar location in Clayton. Well, the wait is over. Those fabulous doughnuts can now be had at 40 North Central Ave. Check out their wares at vincentvandoughnut.com.

Big news on the culinary front: Chef RICK LEWIS has announced that he’ll be leaving his post as exec chef at Quincy Street Bistro in the near future to open up a new concept Rick Lewis with MIKE EMERSON of Pappy’s Smokehouse.

The new place, called Southern, will be located next to Pappy’s and specialize in fried chicken. Lewis has been a busy guy of late. In addition to the new project, he won big on the Food Network show Guy’s Grocery Games, which aired earlier this month. St. Louis chefs are creating something of a dynasty on that show—you’ll recall that Chef ERIC BRENNER of Lascelles Granite City Tap & Grill took home the win back in December.

Speaking of local celeb chefs, pastry chef SIMONE FAURE of La Patisserie Chouquette is set to compete on Food Network’s upcoming Spring Simone Faure Baking Championship.

The first episode will air on Sunday, April 26. Faure will be competing against seven other contestants for a $50,000 prize. Good luck, Chef!

All six area locations of Llywelyn’s Pub are now sporting new menu items, including three new starters, a new flatbread, six new sandwiches and some updated classics. In addition, they’re also featuring Companion Bakery goods. The facelift marks the restaurant’s first menu revamp in four years.

St. Louis has a big presence on the new list of Missouri’s 10 Best Restaurants from TheCultureTrip.com. Bogart’s Smokehouse, The Fountain on Locust and The Block all made the cut. Congrats to all!

Square One Brewery & Distillery

A Flavor Sensation

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

NOTHING BEATS A GOOD, OLE NEIGHBORhood pub—someplace where you feel instantly comfortable, where you can kick back with a frosty pint and some quality eats, and unwind after a rough day in the real world. Square One Brewery & Distillery in Lafayette Square is just such a place.

One of the cornerstones of the Lafayette Square renaissance of recent years, it offers plenty of tasty fare, plus a wide selection of its own fine beers and spirits. We figured it was high time to head back and check it out.

With its majestic, historic bar, dark wood and convivial atmosphere, Square One is reminiscent of the best UK public houses—short on pretension, but long on neighborhood vibe. Between the bar area, dining room and patio, there’s no shortage of places to have a seat, either. We settled into a table in the main dining room and perused the menu, whilst sipping on small-size Irish Stout ($4) and Single Malt Scotch Ale ($4). These smaller tastes are ideal for those who’d like to sample around the beer list without over-indulging. Finally, we decided on the Mahi Mahi Tacos ($10) to start. One of the perks of being a brewery and distillery, as well as a restaurant, is that the kitchen has a wide variety of house-made spirits and beers to include in the dishes. These tacos are a fine case in point: Marinated in chipotle and Square One’s own Agave Blue American Tequila with smoked tomatoes, avocado and grilled corn salsa, they’re a subtly spicy way to start things off. Of course, a pub has to have sandwiches—it’s a

rule of some sort. Square One has plenty to offer, from burgers to BLTs. The Grown Up Grilled Cheese ($9), was the one that finally caught our eye—aged cheddar, bacon jam and avocado on toasty wheat bread. Sandwiches come with a choice of sides, and we went traditional with some fries. The savory/ sweet bacon jam provides a delicious counterpoint to the smoky cheese and creamy avocado. If you have a hankering for larger plates, Square One has you covered, as well. Our choice was the Seafood Bouillabaisse ($16), tons of shrimp, calamari and whitefish all simmered in Square One’s blonde ale, with some fennel and lemongrass to spice things up.

The deeply flavorful broth alone is worth the price of admission here.

Menu items also have beer recommendations alongside, always helpful when trying to make pairing decisions. Brunch is served on Sundays, and there’s also Macaroni Mondays and Build-A Burger Tuesdays for those who want to get culinarily creative. Spirits and beer fans also can attend Square One’s free Beer and Spirits School on the first Saturday of the month at 11 a.m. to learn about how those potent potables are created (reservations are required).

If first-rate food and beverages and low-key ambience are what you require, stop by Square One. They have what you need.

BY STANLEY BROWNE, CSW

ABERNET FRANC IS LIKE the plot to a Broadway play…. it wants to break out of the chorus line and become a star! Cabernet Franc often is over-shadowed by more wellknown grapes like cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir and syrah. However, this is one of the major grapes, and plays an important role in several major growing regions.

Cabernet Franc originates from Libournais region of southwest France; and cuttings made their way to the Loire Valley, and later, to Bordeaux. Cabernet Franc crossed with sauvignon blanc to produce its robust offspring, cabernet sauvignon. It is thinner-skinned and ripens earlier than cabernet sauvignon. It can ripen in warmer climates, but flourishes in slightly cooler climates.

Cabernet Franc must fully ripen in order to lose some of its unpleasant green vegetal characteristics, and to showcase itself without spiked sugar levels and high alcohol.

Cabernet Franc likes many soil types and will produce fuller style in chalky soils such as in Loire. Being softer, it is widely used for its blending qualities, but mainly it’s sought after for its stunning aromatics—think raspberries, tobacco, blueberries, violets, herbs and peppers.

Let’s head for Napa Valley…

France: Loire Valley: Cabernet Franc (a.k.a. Breton) produces some big tannic wines when oaked and built to age. They also produce young, soft, fruity Cabernet Franc with no oak and little tannins to be drunk young. It is most known in Chinon, Bourgueil and Saumur-Champigny. It also is made into rosé in Loire.

Bordeaux: Although it takes a third seat to merlot and cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet Franc plays a major role here. Whereas cabernet sauvignon adds structure and tannins, and merlot adds

subtlety and softness, winemakers both look to Cabernet Franc to add aromatics and mid-palate.

Europe Italy probably is where the grape is known best, especially in the northwest cooler regions of Veneto and Friuli, where they make a straight Cabernet Franc. However, in cooler vintages, it can display the unwanted green pepper notes due to the fruit not fully ripening. Other countries that make some Cabernet Franc are Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia and Spain.

United States California: We have struggled with this grape as we have planted in wrong locations that produced Cabernet Francs that had too much alcohol, unpleasant green pepper notes, and lacked acidity to allow it to age. We now have come of age, and most wineries that take on the challenge are making nice Cabernet Francs.

The impetus for Cabernet Franc in California was to make Bordeaux-style wines with the main Bordeaux grapes (marketed as Meritage).

Originally, it was used as a blending grape, and then the more adventurous wineries started

making a straight Cab Franc. It is mostly grown in Napa, Sonoma, Carneros and Alexander Valley.

Washington State: Due to extended late afternoon growing hours, Franc is able to fully ripen in this region. Franc has broken out with some great solo performances here: Watch for more blueberry notes from this region.

Other Regions: Think of regions where Bordeaux-style blends grow well like Chile and Argentina (of course, with malbec in the blend). Australia, known for shiraz and cabernet sauvignon, has now added Franc in the cooler regions like McLaren Vale.

TASTING TIP: Detecting green/vegetative notes or pyrazines in tasting wine: The main aromas or tastes are bell peppers, asparagus, peas, herbs. We are very sensitive to pyrazines, and it can be offputting; however, some notes can add character.

WINE RECOMMENDATION: Washington, Napa and France make very different Cabernet Francs. Sheridan Vineyard’s Boss Block makes a very opulent 100-percent Cabernet Franc that drinks more like a cabernet sauvignon with so many flavors with each taste.

months. “He’s our inspiration,” Dacus says. “When you’re having a bad day, you can talk to him and it makes you appreciate life much differently.”

Katie and Drew are being honored as the Girl and Boy of the Year at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual Man and Woman of the Year fundraiser, which concludes with a grand finale on April 30, says LLS executive director Debbie Kersting. Eighteen candidates are raising funds in their honor, which will go toward LLS’s programs— including research, financial aid for families, and outreach. The candidates include cancer survivors, individuals running on behalf of a family member, and young professionals just looking to make a difference in the community, Kersting notes.

“We’re hoping to raise $300,000,” she says. “To me, it’s exciting, because the candidates are saying, Cancer ends with me; I’m standing up to cancer, just by saying they’ll run as a candidate for Man or Woman of the Year.” The public can vote for their favorite candidate by donating at mwoy.org/gat.

All of the proceeds raised stay within the St. Louis region, Kersting notes. Last year, the Gateway Chapter used funds raised at events like this to fund $946,000 in financial aid, as well as research at area hospitals and universities.

“The most important thing is to find a cure,” she says. “We don’t want anyone to have to travel to transfusion therapy when they’re 3 years old. The mission is to find a cure.”

to broken bones, cuts needing stitches, and animal or insect bites.

Paino says when patients are uncertain whether to go to an urgent care center or the emergency room, they should think about the significance of their symptoms. “If you feel you are having a possible life-threatening problem, such as severe shortness of breath or chest pains, call 911 and go to the emergency room,” he notes.

“But for minor emergencies, our urgent care centers are very capable of taking care of any issue that is [treatable] by a primary care doctor.”

At the centers, staff members treat many patients who don’t have a primary care physician, Paino says. “We have primary care physicians’ offices right next door to most of our urgent care centers, and many of them are taking new patients, so patients are referred to a primary care doctor upon leaving a center.” This helps with patients’ continuity of care, Paino explains, as the primary care physicians have access to the patients’ medical records from the centers.

The St. Luke’s Hospital-owned urgent care centers have been treating St. Louis County and St. Charles County families with state and national patient care standards for more than 30 years, Paino says. “St. Luke’s is traditionally a leader in urgent care in the region. All of our staff is fully equipped to treat families’ minor medical emergencies.”

Both experts advise travelers to be vaccinated against flu and other common illnesses before traveling. “International travelers need a host of special vaccines, from yellow fever to typhoid, but even if you’re just traveling domestically, be sure you’re up to date with your vaccines, especially for measles, influenza, varicella (chicken pox) and pneumococcal pneumonia,” Berchelmann says.

Travel with a first-aid kit and bring along a few basic medicines. “Over-the-counter medications that may be helpful are a pain reliever such as Tylenol, antacids such as Tums, and possibly a cold medication, in case you develop cold symptoms,” Walls says. “Sunscreen and bug spray are necessities. Many of these items can be purchased easily while traveling.”

Despite your best efforts to prevent illness, it can happen when on the road. “You should always feel free to call you doctor, no matter where you are,” Berchelmann says. “If you are thinking of going to a local emergency room or urgent care center, and it’s not an immediate emergency, call your doctor first.”
