Gary J. Schmidt, MD Orthopedic surgeon

Over time, many active adults experience ankle joint deterioration, reduced range of motion and a significant decrease in quality of life. Arthritis, bone degeneration and injury are the major causes of ankle stress. With technological improvements, ankle replacement surgery is a viable option for a number of patients. Patients return to ankle function faster than with fusion and with far less arthritic risk to surrounding joints. Dr. Schmidt will explain the ankle replacement system that he uses and advances in ankle replacement surgery. Light refreshments will be served.

Jennifer Wessels, MD BJC Medical Group family practice physician

Diabetes is a growing epidemic in our country. High blood sugar levels result from defects in the body’s ability to produce and/or use insulin. Dr. Jennifer Wessels will discuss the two types of diabetes, symptoms, and risk factors. She will explain how changing your diet, increasing your activity level, and maintaining a healthy weight can impact your risk. Certified diabetes educators from Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital will share their best advice for management of diabetes for those who have been diagnosed. Light refreshments will be served.

Eva Hurst, MD Washington University dermatologist

Overexposure to the sun can have dangerous effects, so what can you do to protect yourself from harmful rays, and what are the warning signs to determine if you already have damage? Come in for a free screening with Washington University dermatologists, including Dr. Eva Hurst. Have any areas of concern checked out and learn a few facts that could save your skin. The event is free, no registration is required. Screenings will be given on a first come, first serve basis.

MARI DE VILLA

For Generations to Come A

BY BRITTANY NAY

MARI DE VILLA RESIDENT RECENTLY celebrated her 90th birthday with a large group of family and friends in the new Waterford Room private party suite, overlooking the same sparkling lake her mother did 30 years ago. For more than 53 years, Mari de Villa has put the needs of its guests first, and that has kept them coming back for generations. Whether it’s a new therapy program, larger customized suites or life-enhancing entertainment, the senior-living community is still looking for ways to improve the campus and care for its residents, according to president Fred Wiesehan. “We do our best to try to provide the best care for all of our guests.” Sitting on more than 25 acres in Town & Country, Mari de Villa offers all levels of senior care—private, independent, custom-designed villas that range from 1,000 to 3,000 square feet, as well as assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care. And allinclusive rates mean guests can choose whatever activities they like to enhance their daily lifestyle.

Certified trainers lead on-campus classes multiple times per week in water aerobics, seated exercise and wellness classes; and entertainment includes daily live music, social hours, bridge and guest speakers. Denominational religious services, as well as nondenominational Bible study, also are offered weekly. As construction continues at the luxury retirement community, it will expand once again May 1, when its 10 new units of Terraces at Mari de Villa officially open for guest applications. Part of a five-year construction plan that will culminate in more additions through 2014, the Terraces is a newly remodeled neighborhood with private indoor and outdoor living space, and 24-hour nursing geared toward guests with Alzheimer’s and memory care needs. Mari de Villa staff worked with the St. Louis Alzheimer’s Association to implement the best colors, textures, furniture and other accommodations to enrich the lives of these guests, Wiesehan says. In addition, the community’s staff is receiving

a six-week dementia and memory care training course for certification through the association. “We have always served guests with these needs, but this will be a state-of-the-art, memory-care neighborhood advised by St. Louis Alzheimer’s Association research,” Wiesehan notes. And the senior-living community is working on future improvements for even more new assistedliving suites and accommodations on the east lake shore of the campus, which Wiesehan and his wife, Mary Kay, also call home. “There’s never a day we get up where we don’t think, How can we make something better for the good of Mari de Villa?”

erhaps CHIEF SITTING Bull said it best: “Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love.” Spring is indeed the season of rebirth. It happens in nature, as the Sioux holy man pointed out. So there’s no reason a comparable renewal can’t happen for you. Of course, you can’t literally turn back the clock. But you can freshen your look by rejuvenating the skin and mitigating the effects of both time and environment. “To look beautiful for spring and summer, you must first undo the damage of winter,” says Lilibet Iken, a registered nurse and owner of Be Salon in Clayton. She recommends a hydrating facial or glycolic treatment to quickly transform a dry, dull complexion— but there are additional steps you can take for even more dramatic results. M i c ro - n e e d l i n g i s I ke n ’s treatment of choice for resurfacing skin. “It rebuilds your own collagen beneath the surface, repairing it from the inside out,” she explains. “It’s painless and only requires two days’ downtime versus laser treatments.” And since micro-needling can erase fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and both surface and pitted scars, it’s ideal for a range of ages. For a truly impressive transformation, Iken prescribes a course of three treatments during a six-week period. LILIBET IKEN, D r. C a r o l i n e M a n n , a Be Salon owner Washington University School of Medicine dermatologist, laments that it’s a challenge to convince people to wear sunscreen on a daily basis, despite irrefutable evidence that UV rays cause skin damage and trigger deadly skin cancers. It’s true, Mann says, that sunscreen can feel greasy and may cause skin irritation. That’s why finding the right product often involves trial and error. “If you didn’t like the first shampoo you tried, you wouldn’t just stop washing your hair,” she says, adding that it’s smart to use makeup that offers a sun protection factor (SPF). “If your moisturizer, foundation or powder contains SPF, you won’t need to add an extra product to your regime.” If sinful summers past have left you spotted with solar lentigines (brown) or cherry hemangiomas (red), laser treatments can restore your skin’s tone and texture. However, Mann cautions, such treatments only erase aesthetic sun damage and are no replacement for proper protection. But what about those other pesky spots? In humid St. Louis, warm weather can be like ants at a picnic for those who are prone to breakouts. And while adult acne is nothing new, Mann says, “In

“To look beautiful for spring and summer, you must first undo the damage of winter,”

the past several years, I’ve begun to see as many adults as I do teenagers.” To combat what can be a persistent and painful problem, she suggests broadband light therapy, which destroys bacteria that cause acne lesions. And while there are many effective topical medications on the market, she names Retin A as the “best photoaging product out there.” The perennial acne treatment has been approved by the FDA to reduce wrinkles, as well—ideal for anyone dealing with the dual dilemmas of youth and age. Whether a day at the spa or a visit to your dermatologist is what it takes to rejuvenate your skin, it’s time to update your makeup bag so you look as fresh as you feel. Dominique Havermann, a makeup artist for Estée Lauder, sings the praises of BB (beauty balm) creams, which she describes as a moisturizer, primer and sheer foundation all in one. “They’re marvelous for creating a natural look. Plus, they cut down on application time, because when it’s so beautiful outside, you don’t want to spend all morning at the mirror.” Does the thought of such a lightweight look make you desperate for that full face of matte foundation you wore all winter? If so, don’t

despair. “Apply your BB cream first, because you may be surprised at how much it actually covers,” Havermann says. “Then use a brush to apply a concentrated concealer to any imperfections or red areas.” Continue the natural look with a gel or cream blush for a “sweet, real-looking flush.” Then select subtle eye shadow: earth tones for a warmer palette, maybe a soft plum for a cooler one. Depending on your hair color, choose a mascara and liner in dark brown or charcoal gray. “They’ll create the same framing effect as black but not appear as harsh,” Havermann says. Bright pops of color are trendy this season, according to Havermann, but they must be used judiciously. Select a silky lipstick, colored balm or stain in shades like fuchsia and coral to finish the look. “When you take off the cap, the color might look intimidating – but if it goes on sheer, it will set off the rest of your face and create a lovely look for the season. Try it!” Sitting Bull might have been content with the beauty of nature, but Mark Twain was more pragmatic. “The finest clothing made is a person’s own skin,” he once observed. “But, of course, society demands something more than this.”

THE GATESWORTH

A Silver Celebration T

HE GATESWORTH IS GETTING READY TO break out the silver, as it celebrates its 25th anniversary this fall. That kind of longevity doesn’t come easily, and it has been earned with a commitment to providing the highest possible level of service, says director of operations Bob Leonard. “We do quality, not quantity,” he says. “We’re not trying to run 30 senior living facilities—we have one at each level of care. We decided to do one thing, and do it right.” The senior-living community is run by three local partners: Charles Deutsch, Elana Spitzberg and David Smith; and a long-term management staff, Leonard notes. Executive director Martha Kessell has been at The Gatesworth since its opening, and she or Leonard oversee the hiring every employee, he notes. “We hire people who are natural peoplepleasers and like to be around people,” he says, adding that visitors often notice the congeniality of staff, and the way they look each guest in the eye

Dr. Sam Pagano

and smile. “I tell people, you can’t teach somebody to do that.” The Gatesworth provides a level of service typically only seen at high-end resorts: Doormen are at their posts throughout the day, and a full-time concierge staff parks cars, delivers packages to rooms and more. “We took the attitude that we could have all the services of a hotel or country club environment. When we first opened, we decided to have a doorman. Other senior living facilities have that now, but back then it was unheard of.” Guests also have access to chauffeured transportation in three limousines or two silver Cadillacs, as well as weekly housekeeping and a 24-hour emergency response staff on-site. Three restaurants are overseen by chef Brian Hardy, who studied at the Culinary Institute of America in New York, as well as in Paris. He was named the 2010 St. Louis Chef of the Year by the American Culinary Federation Chefs de Cuisine

Association of St. Louis and is the current president of that organization. “His training is impeccable, and he continues to set the standard,” Leonard notes. The menus at the Bistro, Palm Court, and the more formal Colonnade restaurants are changed seasonally, and guests also have the option of ordering off-menu and a la carte. “Our residents might eat dinner here 75 percent of the time, so it’s great to have that choice of where to eat, and also to have something different on the menu.” Group outings also are a common occurrence, such as a recent night at Tony’s Restaurant. “Vince Bommarito was at every table with our residents, and most of them have known him throughout their lives in some way,” Leonard says. Residents also have access to a variety of cultural and educational opportunities. For example, the community’s luncheon series has hosted memorable speakers, Continued on page 48

Lifelong Learning Institute

Never Too Old... A

dmiring abstract art. Analyzing articles in The Wall Street Journal. Researching the Dead Sea Scrolls. Not the usual activities for an older adult, but for Henrietta Freedman and other local retired professionals, it’s all in a day’s coursework. As co-founder of the Lifelong Learning Institute at Washington University, Freedman has given area seniors the gift of being in college again. And it’s a pleasure, not a chore, this time around. Now in its 17th year and stronger than ever, the Lifelong Learning Institute offers four- and eight-week,, non-credit, peer-learning courses for those 55 and older at Washington University’s West Campus at Forsyth Boulevard and Jackson Avenue in Clayton. More than 30 courses are offered in subjects ranging from art, architecture, literature, creative writing, philosophy and history to math, science and technology. There are no tests, grades or professors—each course is a study group of active members facilitated by a knowledgeable peer. “It’s not just sitting in a lecture,” notes Freedman, a resident of The Gatesworth. “We ask seniors to be involved.” As a former Washington University trustee, Freedman cultivated the idea for the Lifelong Learning Institute about 20 years ago after she read about similar programs across the country. A lifelong teacher and avid volunteer, her belief is one never has to stop learning. “Being a senior means giving up a lot of things, but this is something you can take into yourself,” she says. “There’s an excitement there that really makes a difference in the way people age.” Freedman’s greatest interests always have revolved around teaching and learning from both the young and old. “I’ve always liked younger people and I’ve always liked the older people.” Her love for learning began at Harris Teachers College, where she attended courses until she married her husband, Rudolph. Since married women could not teach there at that time, she turned her attention to other teaching opportunities—through motherhood and volunteering. Freedman taught her three children, as well as other kids, at the nursery school at the Y (now the Jewish Community Center), and Sunday school at Shaare Emeth. “I thoroughly enjoyed working with the kids and I learned a lot from them,” she recalls. “They taught me to look at children as little people and realize that each child has a unique personality that doesn’t develop overnight, but as they grow up. And if you treat them as individuals, they respond to it. We got along fine.” After Freedman’s kids grew up, she wanted to finish what she started with her own higher learning. At Washington University, she completed a liberal arts degree with a major in psychology and a minor in gerontology in 1975. Gerontology was a new concept at the time, and it really sparked Freedman’s interest. “People were just beginning to think about seniors as they started living longer and becoming this subsection of society. And there was this notion of, so what do we do with ourselves?” Today, the Lifelong Learning Institute answers that question. There are older members of the community excitedly purchasing their books and anxiously anticipating each new semester, Freedman says. While the courses run in eight-week segments in the fall, winter and spring, a four-week summer class recently had to be

Continued from page 35 added because demand was so high, she explains. “Whenever I meet people, they will thank me for starting (Lifelong Learning). There was one lady who said, If I had $1 million, I’d give it to you. She said it gives her something to get up for in the morning and something to talk about other than kids and grandkids, or aches and pains.” The classes often are the most interesting parts of the students’ days, she continues. “We talk about a play, about what a piece of art means to you, or about what you see in the world. When you learn something new, you see something in a different way and you feel different.” Freedman says the program is becoming more and more academic, with new members bringing in unique ideas and retired professors becoming facilitators. And it’s as much a social experience as an academic pursuit. Classes run for two hours, with a coffee and cookie break in the middle. “It gives you the opportunity to get out and talk to people you wouldn’t ordinarily meet,” Freedman notes. Young people—Washington University students or attendees’ family members—also periodically sit alongside seniors, and they learn from each other. Freedman and her husband have taken classes together, and their children even attend when they are in town from Colorado and England. “It’s good for them and good for us,” she says. What started as just a couple of classes and

Henrietta Freedman

25 students in 1996, has become 1,000 active members and dozens of study groups meeting in four large classrooms. “It’s been booming. We now have a second generation of students,” Freedman says, adding that she never could have started the institute without the support of her husband. The program continues to be led by two Washington University deans, Anne Hetlage and Jane Smith, and now also has a director, Catherine Compton.

And all this love for teaching the old and the young has not gone unnoticed. Freedman has been recognized by Washington University with the Dean’s Medal for her work with Lifelong Learning. “I think we are serving the university and the community, along with ourselves,” she says.

Crimes Against Seniors

Always on Guard

By Lisa Watson

he next time you think you’re too smart to be scammed out of money, consider the Ladue businessman who recently lost $3 million in a Jamaican lottery scam. The man, in his 80s, was convinced by thieves that he had won $22 million, and all he needed to do was send money for taxes, says Bill Smith, a trade practice investigator with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It escalated from there. “It’s an unbelievable situation,” Smith says. “We first heard about this about two years ago, from a businessman in the area who was a friend of his. We have since talked to the gentleman’s brother. The family has been through a really difficult time. As is the case in many of these situations, a lot of people end up becoming closer to the scammer than their own family; and after spending this amount of money, when their family or police tell them it’s a scam, there’s a part of them that’s embarrassed and they want to prove them wrong.”

Though it sounds extreme, it is not uncommon for people—seniors in particular—to lose large sums of money to scammers, Smith says. In addition to the Ladue man, a recent press release from the BBB also notes a man from Jefferson County who lost his $41,000 life savings in a lottery scam; an 88-year-old West County woman who lost up to $60,000; and a man from Lake St. Louis whose father has lost $457,000. So how do people get involved in these scams and why does it continue to such great lengths? Sometimes, people just take a gamble that the sweepstakes is real, Smith notes. Many times, scams will come with legitimate-sounding associations, with fliers bearing the names of Reader’s Digest or the BBB itself. “The gentleman in Jefferson County was contacted several times about sweepstakes, and didn’t believe it,” Smith notes. “But then he said to himself, what if it’s true?” After all, the notice said he only needed to send a couple of hundred dollars to claim a huge prize. “Once he

paid the couple hundred dollars, they needed just a little bit more for additional fees.” If the victim starts to back out, thieves often get desperate and resort to threats, Smith adds, using high-pressure tactics and saying they can reach the victim or their grandchildren. “They’ll look up Google pictures of the house and describe the house, to make it look like they’re not out of the country—which is the case in most of these situations—but that they’re driving by the house all the time. It scares them to the point where they won’t cooperate with law enforcement or their family. They just do anything they think will keep them safe.” Whether or not you think your family member might be involved in a money scam, Smith recommends broaching the subject and feeling out their reaction. “Say, I heard people are getting a lot of these crazy raffle things in the mail, and that every one of them is a scam—which it is if you’re getting it in the mail.” A casual suggestion might either warn your family member or help bring up a red flag of a scam that is already underway. Smith also recommends keeping an eye out for unusual telephone calls, or receipts for things like Green Dot MoneyPak or Western Union that might indicate your relative is sending money to a stranger.

Bill Smith makes his presentation to residents of The Gatesworth.

you give them $10 or $15, you’re opening yourself up to more solicitations.” Fundraising groups commonly earn significant amounts of money by selling the names of donors, Smith notes. Door-to-door solicitations: Solicitors offer magazine sales, saying they’re raising money for a nonprofit. If this happens, make sure to see their solicitor’s license before buying anything. Scammers often promise subscriptions, and the victim pays but never receives anything.

Green Dot MoneyPak: Never transfer money to a stranger using a pre-paid card like Green Dot MoneyPak, or by Western Union or MoneyGram. These methods are extremely difficult for law enforcement to track if a scam occurs, making them a favorite for thieves.

Contracting schemes: This might include anyone who comes on to your property to do work. Always check to make sure they have proper licenses, and read contracts thoroughly before signing them. Scammers often take advantage of natural disasters, collecting on insurance payments with a promise of work that they never complete. Smith recalls the case of a lady who was promised a $59 deal on duct cleaning; but after the work was complete, two men demanded $1,000 for their work. “What’s her option at that point? She paid them, and once her daughter found out, they stopped payment on the check.” No matter your age, it’s a good idea to have a second family member or friend at the house when someone’s coming in to do work, Smith suggests.

NUTRITION & MEAL-PLANNING

You (Still) Are What You Eat

BY BRITTANY NAY

• Whole, enriched, and fortified grains, such as brown rice and whole wheat bread • Bright-colored vegetables, such as carrots and broccoli • Deep-colored fruit, like berries and melon • Low- and non-fat dairy products, such as yogurt and low-lactose milk • Dry beans and nuts, fish, poultry, lean meat and eggs • Liquid vegetable oils and soft spreads low in saturated and trans fat • Fluid intake • Physical activity such as walking, house work and yard work

bad for everyone, not just the elderly.” Gianino says the first step is to focus on food in the produce section at the grocery store, as opposed to the aisles filled with processed food. “Fruits and vegetables are always a must. We also encourage adding things like nuts and wheat germ to other foods such as cereal to boost nutrition.” And if seniors need extra help, home care agencies such as Home Assist and Homewatch Caregivers offer transportation to grocery stores and help with buying healthful foods. In addition, caregivers can help seniors with mealplanning and preparation. When formulating nutritious meals, one option from the USDA suggests people 50 or older plan around the following healthy foods every day: • 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups of fruit • 2 to 3 1/2 cups of vegetables • 5 to 10 ounces of grains • 5 to 7 ounces of protein foods • 3 cups of fat-free or low-fat milk • 5 to 8 teaspoons of oils • Small amounts of solid fats and added sugars Gianino also recommends replacing refined food with fiber-filled substitutes, such as whole grain bread, which prevents constipation, a common health issue among the elderly. “And we encourage drinking lots of fluids, especially water, and taking medications with nutritious meals, because the chemicals from pills will absorb better when taken with food.”

Seabaugh also advises including nutrientdense, low-fat and high-fiber foods. “Studies have shown that eating three or more fruits and vegetables a day helps people maintain a healthy weight, decreases the risk of chronic diseases and increases energy and brain function.” He adds that as people age, less energy may be needed. “But you still need just as many of the nutrients in food.” To get those vital nutrients, he suggests:

How many calories do seniors need?

• Choosing a variety of healthy foods • Avoiding empty calories—foods with lots of calories, but few nutrients—such as chips, cookies, soda and alcohol • Selecting foods that are low in cholesterol and fat, especially saturated and trans fats Michael P. Gianino of Homewatch Caregivers agrees. “High-calorie, low-nutrient foods are

• Not physically active needs about 2,000 calories a day

Food Guide Pyramid for Older Adults

IMAGE OF THE FOOD PYRAMID COURTESY OF TUFTS UNIVERSITY

AYBE YOUR MOTHER CAN NO LONGER drive to the grocery store, your dad doesn’t feel that hungry anymore, or grandma says foods just don’t taste the same these days. As people age, many roadblocks to healthy eating can arise. And these hurdles are translating into unhealthy diets for seniors. According to Scott Seabaugh of Home Assist, studies show many older adults do not get enough important nutrients needed to maintain a healthy body. “Eating the proper foods can give seniors more energy, keep them from getting sick, recover more quickly from illness, and help to control chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and obesity.” With all these positive impacts, local, state and national health agencies are doing everything they can to promote healthy eating among the elderly. For example, the Modified Food Pyramid for Older Adults can educate seniors on the specific needs of their bodies as they age, Seabaugh notes. The pyramid includes:

The FounTains oF WesT CounTy

The Best Senior Living in St. Louis! Closer to Family… i was living in Pennsylvania and i wanted to get closer to my niece and her family in st. Louis. i was living all alone and it was very lonely. My niece told me all about the Fountains, with all the great activities available, best of all they have bridge groups. i have made so many good friends in this past nine years, i can’t think of any other place i want to be. This is my home and i love it.

Connie Leone

A note from The Executive Director: Linda Iken-Robertson The Fountains is celebrating nine wonderful years this september. i would like to consider myself a founder also, since opening the Fountains in 2004, it has been a wonderful nine years of serving our seniors. My staff and i are committed to helping each individual, who chooses to retire with us at The Fountains, to enjoy life to the fullest. We are dedicated to encouraging a healthy independent lifestyle for mature adults. We take that responsibility to heart and it is our purpose. When you choose to live at The Fountains of West County, you not only become a part of one of the best west county neighborhoods, you become family.

I’m living again… Living alone had been just that…lonely. sure i have friends, even that wasn’t the answer. i wanted to socialize, have a life again and feel like i was doing something. Well, i found the answer and moved to the Fountains retirement community whose residents are full of life and being lonely here is not an option. now i have a new home and new friends that share my same interest, and i’m living again. Alice Schultz Feeling safe and secure is only the beginning… i always believed it could never happen to me. Well, if you’ve watched the news lately, it can. so i took charge of my own life and found my new secured home at the Fountains of West County. My daughter is so glad i moved to the Fountains, because retirement isn’t supposed to be stressful…and feeling safe and secure is important to me.

Gail Mars

The residents and the staff have become part of my family… nine years ago, i sold my home, had some health issues and was living with my daughter at the time. as i began to regain my strength, i realized i needed my own home. and home is immediately what i found when i walked into the Fountains. The Fountains has been my home for nine years and i am truly blessed to live here and to call the Fountains of West County my home.

Texie Morris I have my independence back again… i am a social person and i was missing that aspect in my life. Moving to the Fountains gave me that social interaction again and i have made some great friends. From the wonderful staff to the wide variety of fun activities, i always have something to do.

Hazel Partney I love the residents here…

The Choice is mine…

The staff at the Fountains are so very friendly and caring, as they are always willing to provide the supportive and personal care when needed. The Fountain’s ability to handle and resolve emergencies is second to none. Living here in this safe environment allows me to live as independently as possible.

Through a friend in 2004, i heard of the Fountains. The move to the Fountains, for me gave me peace of mind and the freedom to do as much as i want or as little as i wish. now i have lots of friends and there’s always something to do. i feel very secure, while being surrounded by a staff that really cares and the assistance is always there when needed.

The Gatesworth continued from page 34 including Maxine Clark of Build-A-Bear, Ambassador Sam Fox and Bob Costas. With such a high level of service, the common misconception is that families will not be able to afford The Gatesworth, Leonard notes. “But when they come to visit, they do see that they can afford it. When they’re actually here in person, they see the value—from the sheer size of our staff, to the friendliness and quality of service.” Dr. Sam Pagano, a Gatesworth resident, agrees. “When I lived at home, I paid a lot of insurance, taxes, home maintenance and repairs…I never knew when something was going to go wrong. When I look at all those expenses and worries, I think I have a great deal here, and I didn’t have to come up with a large up-front sum.” Leonard adds that the community is almost at 100 percent occupancy, and with a 25-year history of success, The Gatesworth is a secure place to spend retirement. “Our satisfaction level is incredible. The people here are truly happy—I get letters and compliments every day, and complaints are almost non-existent. People know us and trust that we will be around for years to come.”

However, many people live for 20 or more years after retirement. Given that stocks typically outperform fixed income in the long-term, it’s important to maintain a mix of equities and bonds within your portfolio.

Scott Meyer Senior Portfolio Manager BMO Harris Bank 13205 Manchester Road, Third Floor, 543-3438, scott.meyer@bmo.com Investing for retirement involves practicing patience and discipline despite constant uncertainty. No investor can see into the future. Nervousness in the face of uncertainty is not irrational, and reasonable investors may differ as to their strategies. Adopting a disaster-certain approach to retirement investing is, however, the act of surrendering to fear.

HOME The Big Reveal: The Ritz-Carlton Lobby Lounge A favorite St. Louis gathering spot for afternoon tea, cocktails and light fare, the Lobby Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton has emerged from a $1-million renovation, following the December 2012 purchase of the Clayton property by Bruce Karsh (Ladue H.S. 1974) and his company, Clayton St. Louis Property. One of the goals of the renovation was to infuse the lobby’s traditional elegance with the energy and social air of a modern club. Guests entering The Ritz are still welcomed by the hotel’s trademark features—mahogany millwork, marble floors, and grand chandeliers— but today they also encounter what designers are calling a ‘Rhythm and Martinis’ theme. A key aspect of the renovation was the installation of a series of new artworks referencing the Rhythm and Martinis theme. The renovation also included gold-leaf

embellishments to the lobby’s coved ceiling, a luxe, lacquered wall behind the mahogany bar, as well as brass accents that frame the bar’s illuminated vellum front. Elsewhere in the lobby, new Art Deco-inspired etched-glass partitions have been introduced between the imposing mahogany columns, adding visual interest to the setting, as well as a sense of privacy. As for the new seating in the Lobby Lounge, guests now perch on compact tufted leather settees and barrel-back lounge chairs in shades of rich russet red and silvery taupe, which sit atop a bold blue and gold geometric-patterned carpet.

A NEW EXHIBIT AND LECTURE SERIES, Lucas Place: Lost Neighborhood of St. Louis’ Gilded Age, launched this month at Architecture St. Louis, the office of Landmarks Association at 911 Washington Avenue. Open daily through July from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the exhibit explores the history, people and buildings associated with St. Louis’ premier residential neighborhood of the mid-19th century. Located between 13th and 16th streets, along what is now Locust Street, Lucas Place was once populated by some of the St. Louis’ most renowned families. Its success was short-lived, however, as rapid commercial and industrial development surrounded the street and residents chose to relocate from the city’s commercial core. Today, the Campbell House Museum, which is co-sponsoring the exhibit and lecture series, is all that remains of this once-elegant and fascinating neighborhood. The accompanying lecture series held at the Kranzberg Arts Center covers a variety of topics presented by speakers with expertise in specific areas of city history: Thursday, April 18, 6:30 p.m. Truman State University history professor Huping Ling will discuss the 19th and 20th-century Chinese enclave that once thrived in downtown St. Louis. Thursday, April 25, noon Michael Allen, an architectural historian and director of the Preservation Research Office, will discuss the DeSoto-Carr Neighborhood and its successor, the Pruitt-Igoe Housing Complex. Thursday, May 2, noon Campbell House Museum director Andy Hahn and historian Tom Gronski will discuss the buildings and residents of Lucas Place.

Swarovski Sparkles at Metro Lighting If you’re looking for something small, glittery and downright breathtaking in the way of powder-room lighting, look no further. We recently spotted some great choices at Metro Lighting. Among our favorites are Swarovski’s mini pendant lights that pack a great punch and are guaranteed to dazzle. Swarovski also recently introduced an LED Crystal Candle, which now lights the magnificent chandeliers of the Palais de Versailles with effects that simulate the flickering of hundreds of candles and evoke a bygone era.

Restaurant at The Cheshire, the Budweiser Kiel Club and Peabody Opera House, in addition to his work for numerous residential clients. Stylistically, Castle says he is an excellent fit with the firm. “While Jay is just as committed to working with clients to develop their own personal style as I am, he leans toward a sophisticated modern aesthetic. This means he takes on clients who have more modern sensibilities in addition to working in other design facets, such as traditional and transitional.” In addition to a 300-seat restaurant set to open in Kirkwood this year, Castle Design is

putting the finishing touches on a renovation project in Clayton that incorporates a rustic lower-level build out featuring locally grown natural timber door headers and ceiling beams, a massive stone fireplace, and stairway made out of branches that culminate in a post that appears to be growing out of the floor. “It’s a showstopper,” says Castle, who has a degree in architecture as well as interior design. “On the other end of the spectrum, we’re working room by room to renovate and furnish the original home of T.S. Elliot, a beautiful statement home in the Central West End.”

Jon Paul Vintage Chandelier is Over the Top No mention of vintage lighting or crystal would be complete without including Jon Paul Designs and Collectibles, a small shop in Richmond Heights. Owner Jon Paul scours the city in search of antique and vintage pieces and prides himself on bringing items of great quality and condition to his shop. Among his most recent interesting finds were two, two-tier Czechoslovakia crystal chandeliers dating back to the

late 1800s, salvaged from a Central West End manse before languishing in a warehouse. Jon Paul completely disassembled the chandeliers, rewired them, cleaned each piece of crystal (he estimates there are somewhere between 150 and 200 pieces on each) and painstakingly reattached each small crystal component. One of the chandeliers currently has pride of place in the shop and retails for $7,900.

KITCHEN TOUR

A GATHERING PLACE

Kitchen Tour BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

OR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR, THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF ST. LOUIS IS granting the design-adoring and ticket-holding masses exclusive access to the area’s most spectacular residential kitchens. Whether you’re there to ‘ooh’ about overhead cabinetry or ‘aah’ over appliances, these homes are sure to impress—and LN has previews to excite your inner designer. A Gathering Place Kitchen Tour takes place Saturday, April 20. For tickets and info, visit jlsl.org.

The Kearbey Kitchen, Rio Vista Drive Star of TV’s Real Life Renovations, this kitchen is equal parts chic and comforting. The detailed sparkle of the light fixtures, paired with the clean simplicity of the farmhouse apron-front sink, gives the space a collected feel while maintaining visual interest. On the perimeter of the kitchen, maple cabinetry is finished with an opaque white, topped with Delicatus granite countertops and a ceramic tile backsplash with a mosaic marble insert, says designer Wendy Kuhn of Karr Bick Kitchen + Bath.

Home The Radenold Kitchen, Doubletree Lane

The Conrad Kitchen, Wellington Way

Despite featuring neutral aspects such as white cabinetry and black granite countertops with charcoal specks, this kitchen reads as bright, light, airy and—dare we say it—colorful. With pops of citrine and red throughout, just enough color was added to create a comfortable, non-cluttered, space. The rounded trapezoid center island acts as a workspace and eating area, with the additional bonus of storage. The unique shape “really maximizes the space and storage in the kitchen” says designer Paul Alan, store manager of I.O. Metro. The barstools, which feature a different metal tone than the hardware and appliances, keep the kitchen from looking too matched. “It gives it that ‘found look.’ Not everything has to coordinate.” To bounce the light around the room, various other metals, including mercury glass and gold-tinted spikes, were added in the accessories.

Featuring tunis green granite countertops and a glass mosaic tile backsplash, this kitchen features a contemporary look inside an older home. Meredith Wanamaker, senior interior designer with The Lawrence Group, calls the look transitional. “The original floor plan was very chopped up. They really wanted a place for gathering, so the center island was designed to accommodate a family of six.” Other noteworthy design features include the Artimide Logico light fixture, which Wanamaker describes as an “organic glass form,” and quartersawn red oak cabinetry with shaker-style doors, an espresso stain and satin nickel hardware.

Housing intricate cherry wood cabinetry and a custom arabesque tile backsplash, this kitchen proves that neutrals can make a massive impact. The double-thick granite countertop is ‘fantasy brown’ and features a 6-centimeter elite over-cove edge. “The homeowner desired a more connected space, but we were confined by the width of the kitchen,” designer Nancy Spewak says of the desired, but unobtainable, center island. Mike Beck of Beck/Allen Cabinetry designed a horseshoe island, which “became the highlight of the room.” The elongated cherry cabinetry showcases highly-detailed hand-cast bronze hardware and 11-inch molding. “It was an elaborate carpentry job,” Spewak says, noting the intricate moldings, while praising the impressive work of Landmark Builders.

The Atkin Kitchen, Clayton Road

KITCHEN TOUR The Niemeyer Kitchen, Picardy Lane This kitchen is all about pairing the unexpected. The owl collection, which could easily translate to cluttered kitsch, balances in an unusual but sophisticated way with the grand light fixtures and detailed box beam ceiling. The countertop varies between the perimeter, butler’s pantry and island, and includes both Super White Quartzite and Imperial Danby Honed Marble. The butler’s pantry has unique cabinet fronts featuring a metal grid instead of wood or glass. “It’s just a different look,” says Karr Bick’s Jenny Rausch, noting it offers texture without showing as much of what’s inside as glass. The custom maple cabinetry features two different colors—a custom shade and a China finish— which work together harmoniously, as the blue-like hue of the island and butler’s pantry is repeated slightly in the granite and subway tile backsplash. This unity transitions from the kitchen to the surrounding areas, as an arched entrance to the family room was added during renovation to keep the charm moving throughout the home.

The Benkelman Pool House Kitchen, Fair Oaks Drive Featuring beach-inspired colors like sand and sea foam, this pool house kitchen keeps with the theme without going overboard. “It has these great big windows that slide into the walls, so when you’re standing at the sink, you’re right next to the pool,” says Karr Bick Kitchen + Bath president Jenny Rausch. “It feels very much like an outdoor space.” The galley-style unit was designed with pool life in mind and features speakers throughout and a multitude of appliances, including an ice-maker and under-counter beverage refrigerator. The mosaic tile backsplash frames the Cambria Minera counters and is sandwiched between white maple cabinetry.

STROKE AWARENESS

Reduce Your Risks A

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

NY TIME BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN IS INTERRUPTED, you have a serious problem. In many cases, this is known as a stroke, and it can have life-threatening and long-term consequences. In some cases, the body’s natural anti-clotting properties are able to break up the clot that is blocking blood flow. This is known as a ‘transient ischemic attack’ or TIA. TIAs are notable because symptoms, which are the same as those for a stroke, tend to resolve on their own, usually within an hour. However, experts warn that waiting around for that to happen can make the difference between life and death or long-term disability. “The message that stroke neurologists and other physicians want to get out to the public is that there is really no difference between a stroke and a TIA with regard to how serious the event is,” says Dr. Eli Feen, a SLUCare neurologist. “Both of them represent the same underlying medical problem. We want to emphasize that a TIA does involve a blood clot that forms. Even though the symptoms got better because the blood clot got broken up and blood flow started up again to an area of the brain, the fact that a blood clot formed is a very serious matter.” Typical symptoms include sudden blindness (total or partial) in one or both eyes, numbness and/or weakness on one side of the face and body, slurred speech, difficulty using correct words, sudden unsteadiness, or incoordination of the limbs. Because these symptoms may indicate a serious stroke or a TIA, immediate medical attention is needed. “The hospital can perform tests to see if this is stroke or TIA,” explains Nancy Jackson, stroke coordinator with the SSM Neurosciences Institute at DePaul Health Center. “There are new treatments to stop a stroke, but you must get to the hospital within two hours of the symptoms starting for the treatment to be used.” Patients experiencing possible stroke symptoms are given a complete neurological exam, including CT or MRI imaging of the brain. Assessment of the heart and carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain, also help determine cause and treatment. “The risk of a TIA is that it increases the likelihood of a stroke with potentially devastating disability,” notes Dr. Michael Hatlelid, a neurologist and director of stroke services at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “For example, a 65-year-old woman with a blood pressure of 150/95 and a history of diabetes who develops sudden weakness in an arm and leg, lasting for two hours and resolving, has a two-day stroke risk of 8 percent and a 90-day risk of 18 percent.” Most patients who come to the emergency room with stroke symptoms are admitted to the hospital for more extensive evaluation and observation. Treatment and follow-up care is based on a variety of individual factors. “It does depend very much on the individual features of the particular patient, both what happened to them and what we found during our investigation,” Feen notes. “Some kind of blood thinner and cholesterol medication is very commonly used with stroke victims where the stroke was due to a blood clot that blocked off blood supply.” Feen and other physicians also stress the importance of reducing future stroke risk through smoking cessation (which Feen calls the “single-most powerful step you can take”), as well as exercise, weight management and appropriate medical follow-up.

GERD/ACID REFLUX

More than Just A Pain in the Gut BY CONNIE MITCHELL

ELCHING IS A SIGN OF APPRECIATION FOR a fine meal in some cultures. But it’s not such a positive thing when it’s accompanied by heartburn, coughing and throat irritation—the classic symptoms of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). “GERD is a digestive disorder that occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the ring of muscle between the esophagus and stomach, does not function properly. More than 60 million Americans experience acid reflux at least once a month,” explains Dr. Steve Fern, a gastroenterologist with Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “Some people with acid reflux disease also have a syndrome called dyspepsia,” Fern says, adding that dyspepsia is a general term for stomach discomfort. “Symptoms of dyspepsia include burping, nausea after eating, stomach fullness or bloating, or upper abdominal pain and discomfort.” It may be tempting to assume that frequent heartburn equals GERD and begin self-medicating with over-the-counter remedies. However, having frequent heartburn assessed by a physician is a better idea, says Dr. Kiranmaye Tiriveedhi, a Mercy

Clinic gastroenterologist. “We may suggest an overthe-counter medication initially, but we also can assess the symptoms and determine if additional tests are needed,” she says. Fortunately, GERD can be successfully treated, offering relief. “Proton-pump inhibitors, such as Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix and Nexium, are the most effective medicines to treat GERD. Antacids such as Zantac or Pepcid may work for those with milder cases,” says Dr. Jeffrey Kreikemeier, St. Luke’s Hospital gastroenterologist. Surgery is a treatment option for GERD, though Kreikemeier notes that it is performed less frequently these days because of effective and safe medical therapies. “Diet and lifestyle changes also can be a tremendous help and a much simpler option than surgery,” he says. “The surgical procedure involves wrapping a portion of the upper stomach around the distal esophagus to decrease reflux of acid. It should be noted that more than 50 percent of patients who undergo surgery end up taking acid-lowering medicines again in the years following surgery.” Usually, GERD does not cause long-term complications. In some cases, continued esophageal

damage can lead to scarring, which may cause the esophagus to narrow. The narrowing creates strictures and makes it difficult to swallow, Fern notes. “You may have dysphagia, a sensation that food is stuck in your esophagus. In some cases, cells in the lining of the esophagus develop an abnormal shape and color in response to the constant acid irritation. This is Barrett’s esophagus, which can develop into cancer.” Fern adds that cardiac problems also can mimic heartburn and you should not confuse the two. “Unexplained chest pain should be evaluated by an exercise stress test or EKG prior to an evaluation for gastrointestinal problems.”

DIVERSIONS A GAZILLION CHOICES IN SAN DIEGO STORY AND PHOTOS BY JUDY CROWELL

I’M TELLING YOU, THIS IS ONE VAST PLAYGROUND.

’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF WRITING THIS story for some time—too many things to tell you about and too little space. Yes, San Diego has a brilliant blue ocean and blue skies most of the time, mild temperatures year-round, a strong Spanish/Mexican heritage that permeates most of its architecture and culture, a huge U.S. Navy presence, amazing beaches and golf courses, a wealth of public and private universities and a world-famous zoo. You knew all this already, didn’t you? But did you also know that the San Diego International Airport is so close to the seaport/ downtown area that you feel compelled to duck your head when Boeing 707s are landing? Or that the freeway system has been known to

short-circuit GPS navigators, turning unflappable direction-giving voices into shrieking lunatics? Well, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, let me tell you why you absolutely must visit San Diego. It’s fabulous, and there’s no end to the attractions you’ll want to see. If you have limited time, the first place to experience (and it’s quite an experience) is Balboa Park, the city’s crown jewel of 1,200 acres of gardens, 15 museums, concerts, classes, dining and shopping. Many of the beautiful Spanish Renaissance buildings were constructed for the 1915 Exposition. Not to be missed are the Museum of Art, Museum of Man, the San Diego Symphony, the Tony Awardwinning Old Globe theater, Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater, the Botanical Building, Japanese

Friendship Garden, Spreckels Organ Pavilion and the San Diego Zoo. Minutes from downtown, Balboa Park is the nation’s largest cultural park and could keep one entranced for weeks on end. You’ll want to see Old Town, the Del Mar Racetrack (established by Bing Crosby and Pat O’Brien), Legoland, SeaWorld, Torrey Pines for hiking and golf, Safari Park, the USS Midway aircraft carrier, Seaport Village, Gaslamp Quarter, etc., etc.—I’m telling you, this is one vast playground. One does need to sleep and eat, and the calmest, most luxurious spots are found outside the city proper. The Grand Del Mar was named Best Luxury Hotel in the U.S.A. by TripAdvisor for 2012. Combining the Old World charm of a

TRAVEL

Mediterranean estate with the modern luxury of an elegant home, you can’t beat this. Its Addison restaurant received Southern California’s only five-star and five-diamond rating. Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa is another Old World beauty and has been even further beautified to re-open to loyal returning guests. And in tony La Jolla, the iconic La Valencia resides. Since 1926, its handpainted murals and exquisite Spanish mosaics have made ‘The Pink Lady and the Pacific’ a favorite. Step inside the Whaling Bar & Grill and you’re sure to make a few friends while enjoying delicious steak and fish offerings. Marvelous restaurant choices are all over the place. Be adventurous, especially along the streets of Old Town and Gaslamp Quarter. Some of the hottest restaurants are in the Del Mar suburb, north of the city: Market Restaurant + Bar for sushi and a lively bar scene; Burlap, an ‘Asian-Cowboy’ spot; Flavor del Mar, for spectacular ocean views and the feeling of being on a Hollywood set; Café Coyote in Old Town, for great Mexican; and—just for fun—Pubcakes, for cupcakes made with beer. You can hop on Old Town Trolley for a really convenient way to see many of the attractions, but you’ll miss too much if you don’t have a car. Here’s a suggested list of supplies to get you from one glorious place to another as you navigate the city’s frustrating freeways: a full tank of gas, a reliable GPS, a stoic navigator, a backseat DVD system for the kiddos, and Zen patience—a must.

KELLY OSBOURNE The Fashion Police host and daughter of iconic rock star Ozzie has taken heat for months about her odd choice of hair color: lavender. Stylists initially dubbed the dye job a quirky phase, but when the color remained, people started to question her judgment. Osbourne finally came forward with an explanation: She’s “contractually obligated” to keep her hair that color for two years. I think I get it. I’m pretty sure there was a girl in my dorm at college who was “contractually obligated” to not shave her armpits.

Lochte said he admired Kim’s ambition and career success. Well, that’s refreshing: an Olympic gold medalist who wants to follow in the footsteps of a woman famous for a sex tape and an utter and complete lack of talent. It’s inspiring, it’s what it is…or is it the exact opposite of that? It’s unclear.

*so don’t quote me.

TANGENTIAL THINKER

HAVE BEEN A PET OWNER FOR MANY years—sometimes successfully; other times, not so much. I have had a towheaded 3-yeaold come to me with a goldfish in his hand, and ask with utter sincerity why Gil doesn’t seem to like playing in the yard. I have had a guinea pig give birth not once, not twice, but three times on my watch. We had an albino gecko. Why, you ask? I wonder the same thing every day. I think it may have taken its own life, but the official cause of death is ‘accidental.’ Apparently, it accidentally stopped eating and drinking. I have had a puppy sit on my lap while I scratched her head and rubbed her back as she—unbeknownst to me—devoured a bird. But now, I fear my patience may have run its course. It appears our puppy—our adorable, precious, impossible-not-to-love puppy—has discovered a nest. Or a herd. Or a pack—of voles. The first time it happened, I was home alone. Oh, it was innocent enough. Everyone was out of town, and I was fastidiously clearing a plate—or pouring myself a glass of wine—I don’t recall,

exactly, and there it was: a small, somewhat chewed up creature dead on my dining room floor. I did what any rational-thinking, Ivy League-educated woman would do—gagged, cried and called my husband in Florida, and asked him to fly home and take care of it. He assured me that an entire role of paper towels covering the corpse and a gentle lift would solve the problem. Actually I think his exact words were, Pick it up and throw it out, but potato, po-tah-to. In any event, our sweet, innocent puggle’s small indiscretion was over and done with. Over…done with… It must have been three or four days later when I heard it: the telltale whimper of a beagle hybrid with a bone…or a ball…or something she needs to either chew or bury…or chew then bury. As she appeared in the kitchen—rodent head out one side of her mouth, tail out the other—I realized why Xanax was invented, and then as l’amuse bouche disappeared down her throat… well, the mind reels. You can’t punish a dog for catching mice. It’s all very scorpion and toad. My girlfriend tried to comfort me by telling me she had a cat that used to do the same thing, but at least, had the courtesy to leave the animal at the kitchen door, like a gift. My gifts seem to be delivered, shall we say, in a more intimate fashion. That’s a good euphemism for grotesque, right? I guess in the end, dogs are like kids—you have to put up with a lot of disgusting stuff, but you just can’t help but love them.

Movie Recap

THEATER REVIEW

Gypsy: A Musical Fable BY MARK BRETZ

STORY It’s the early 1920s, and Rose is determined to make her mark in show business. Not as an entertainer on the vaudeville circuit exactly, but rather as an impresario who knows what’s best for booking agents and small-time venues in the many cities she visits with her two daughters, Dainty June and Louise. Rose pushes her children to extreme limits in her efforts to make the younger of the two, June, a bona fide star.

Well, it’s another dry week at the cineplex. So if you were hotly anticipating my review of the Evil Dead remake or Jurassic Park 3D, I’m sorry to disappoint. Nevertheless, if you insist on getting out of the sunshine and hunkering down in a murky movie theater, here are your options: Evil Dead Do you really want to know? I’m guessing a group of college kids have car trouble or go camping, and end up getting terrorized by some sort of demon. Spoiler alert: I’m guessing the virgin lives. Jurassic Park 3D Um, it’s just like the original—only the dinosaurs really leap out at you. G.I. Joe: Retaliation O-ho-kay. Hollywood made not one, but two, films based on a doll—sorry—action figure. The Mayan calendar may not have been far off… The Host Stephenie Meyer’s sophomore release after Twilight. I’m sorry, I meant sophomoric…alien-invasion love story. I have nothing further to add.

Keeping her girls and the troupe that supports them in children’s clothes way beyond their normal years, combined with Rose’s relentless drive, takes its toll on everyone around Rose, including her ever-faithful boyfriend, Herbie, and her daughters. Every time an obstacle is placed in her path, Rose draws upon mysterious quotes from the Bible for inspiration—or is it desperation?

HIGHLIGHTS Gypsy: A Musical Fable is a big, boisterous musical, a giant of the American stage that combined the talents of writer Arthur Laurents, composer Jule Styne, choreographer Jerome Robbins and lyricist Stephen Sondheim when it premiered in 1959.

Bell does an admirable job with a cast of diverse talents to give his audiences the flavor of an American classic.

APRIL 12, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

DATES: April 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 TICKETS: $18$20; 865-1995 or StrayDogTheatre. org RATING: A 4 on a scale of 1-to-5.

Jennifer Theby Quinn shows off marvelous voice as Dainty June, pairing nicely with Sabra Sellers as Louise, the latter-day Gypsy Rose Lee, on the ballad, If Mama Was Married. Ken Haller is very good as Herbie, an ‘enabler’ before that word was popular.

The Call Halle Berry is engaging, as always, in this interesting but diluted and unoriginal thriller about a 911 operator trying to save an abducted teen.

Ginger & Rosa Two best friends in London in the ’60s face the nuclear threat, a changing world and family crises. This one actually is worth the price of the ticket.

VENUE: Tower Grove Abbey, 2336 Tennessee Ave.

Deborah Sharn is most impressive as the relentless Mama Rose, who in our era would rightly be accused of child abuse. Rose is a nasty, bullying individual who evokes nary a tear of pity with her pushy behavior. Sharn captures that cruel streak effectively.

The massive supporting cast includes Mike Monsey and Charles Heuvelman in a variety of roles, as well as Jenni Ryan, Paula Stoff Dean and Kimberly Still as a trio of strippers who perform on the same stage as Louise.

Quartet This actually is a charming and beautifully acted movie. A classical quartet reunites after decades of drama and derision— can they mend fences and recreate the magic? It’s the Beatles— only classical...and old.

GROUP: Stray Dog Theatre

Based on the memoir of strip-tease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, it’s been revived several times since. Given the constraints of the modest performing space in the Tower Grove Abbey, Stray Dog Theatre artistic director Gary Bell took a ‘less is more’ approach, utilizing a velvet curtain at mid-stage and a modest array of props to tell Rose’s saga.

Olympus Has Fallen Now, if you really want to spend $12—I’m including mandatory popcorn here—this is the movie to see. It’s Die Hard in the White House. Need I say more?

Admission Tina Fey and Paul Rudd are incredibly likeable as the romantic leads in this oh-so-lukewarm romantic comedy.

DINING OUT

Home Wine Kitchen

A Taste of Home

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

• Travel + Leisure magazine has named Bixby’s in the Missouri History Museum (an LN Platinum List winner) as one of America’s Best Museum Restaurants. • CWE favorite Sub Zero Vodka Bar has been named one of the Top 100 Dining Hot Spots in the U.S. by Open Table. • Cheese-ology Macaroni & Cheese, Blueberry Hill, Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar, BB’s Jazz Blues and Soups, Charlie Gitto’s (On The Hill), Molly’s in Soulard, Mosaic Modern Fusion, Crown Candy Kitchen, Trattoria Marcella and Winslow’s Home all were recognized as go-to dining destinations by Midwest Living magazine in its recent St. Louis Trip Guide. Congrats to the folks at Brazie’s Ristorante. The South City Italian eatery is celebrating its 20-year anniversary this month. Check with Brazie’s for anniversary specials, 481-5464. This month, the folks at L’Ecole Culinaire are offering a relaxing way to segue into the weekend. The school is serving up cocktails and small plates from 4 to 7:30 p.m. on April 5, 12 and 19 (all Fridays). Seating is first-come, firstserved, and all small plates are $10 or less. Baseball season is underway, and hungry fans at Busch Stadium have some new menu items to choose from. New at Section 135 is The Double Play Tap and Grill, featuring high-end versions of some ballpark favorites. Kohn’s Kosher Cart is now at Section 147. And Dizzy’s Diner locations now offer The Horseshoe, an open-faced burger consisting of two patties topped with fries and cheese sauce. Suite menus also have changed up, with Food Network salads like the Bases Loaded baked potato salad. Play ball! Just a quick note to let everyone know that LN Platinum List winner House of India at 850 Delmar Blvd., which suffered a bit of smoke damage last month after a small kitchen fire, has reopened. Bring on the lunch buffet!

N RECENT MONTHS, HOME WINE KITCHEN in Maplewood has found its way onto a slew of best-of lists and chef/co-owner Cassy Vires has been getting national attention for her skills in the kitchen, most recently as a finalist for Food & Wine magazine’s People’s Best New Chef: Midwest. Vires changes up her menu weekly—a pretty daunting task — so every visit yields something new. While she has been known for her meaty dishes (and we’ve been known to indulge in them happily), this time around, we ranged a little further afield and tried some vegetable and seafood items, along with the requisite red meat. First up was an order of Short Ribs ($14) and Red Shrimp ($16) from Starters. The short ribs were tender as could be, pulling away from the bone effortlessly, and topped with a spray of micro-greens for some color and textural contrast. Cinnamon and ginger were the primary flavors, with a nice bite of soy sauce and little bit of citrus. The plump shrimp had just enough heat and spice, thanks to some chiles, cilantro and lime juice, and they were cooked with a bit of Pernod, resulting in a subtle touch of anise. The evening’s menu had some mouthwatering Vires creations based on duck, pork and beef, but two dishes caught our eye: the Tuna ($28) and the Tempeh ($20). The tuna was a plate of gorgeous rosy slices of fish topped with micro-greens and tender beech mushrooms. The mild flavor of the

tuna was complemented and contrasted with plenty of tangy red onion. The tempeh was the real standout—something we never would have thought to see on the menu. This dish consisted of blocks of tempeh (a soy food akin to tofu) with plenty of chickpeas, potato, kale and cauliflower all in a mellow, aromatic curry with some coconut milk for sweetness. Paired with a glass of The Ned Pinot Gris ($8), it went straight to the top of the short list for our favorite dish of the year thus far. For dessert, a riff on the classic ice-cream sandwich, subtly sweet honey ice cream between two lemon cookies, all house-made and oh-so-tasty. Our meal was top-notch, but what was most impressive was the fact that going on two years, the offerings at Home Wine Kitchen continue to be inspired, inventive and consistently delicious. While still firmly grounded in the comfort food tradition, Vires has no problem looking at all cuisines and traditions to fire her culinary imagination, and the results continue to impress. Vires and her husband (and co-owner) Josh Renbarger are in the process of opening up their second restaurant, Table, on Cherokee Street. If the success of Home Wine Kitchen is any indicator, that’s going to be the reservation to get this summer. 7322 Manchester Road, 802-7676, homewinekitchen.com.

LN COOKS

Illinois Horseradish

BY JOHN JOHNSON

Q: WHILE EATING OUT WITH MY HUSBAND a few weeks ago, we had a wonderful, thick slice of prime rib at one of our favorite restaurants. My husband, as usual, smothered it in horseradish cream. It made me think that other than cocktail sauce, what else is horseradish used for? I’ve seen the fresh roots at the store, but never had the courage to try and cook with it. Can you give me some ideas? A: While most people know horseradish only in the grated form from a jar, fresh horseradish root can be used in so many ways. In contrast to its name, horseradish is not a radish, and definitely has nothing to do with horses. Some think the name came from the English translation of the German word, ‘meerrettich,’ which means sea radish. Horseradish is related to cabbages and mustard greens. With its pungent flavor and distinct heat, you may have wondered if it had anything to do with the Japanese wasabi you get when you order sushi. Good wasabi is made from a native Japanese root that is a cousin to horseradish, but it is expensive to cultivate. For this reason, green coloring is added to horseradish to make commercial wasabi. Did you know? Collinsville, Ill., is considered to be the horseradish capital of the world. The city will hold its horseradish festival May 31 to June 2. This is a great way to see and taste this horse of a different flavor. I have two recipes that will show you its diversity, and hopefully give you some ideas to play in your kitchen. Horseradish Country Fried Steak 2-4 oz. portions beef tenderloin 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 ½ t horseradish, grated 1 c all-purpose flour ½ t salt 1 ½ t black pepper 1 t smoked paprika 1 cup milk 2 eggs, beaten 4 T butter For white gravy: ½ cup Italian sausage 3 T onion, diced ½ cup all-purpose flour 2 ½ cups milk Directions: Add garlic and horseradish to milk in a glass bowl. Add steaks and marinate for 45 minutes. While steaks are marinating,

APRIL 12, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

add dry ingredients to flour mixture. Set up a standard breading station with the beaten eggs and the flour mixture. When steaks are ready, heat your frying pan to medium-high; add butter. When butter is hot, dip steaks in egg and then dredge in flour mixture to create an even coating. Repeat. Place breaded steaks into hot pan and brown on both sides. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to remove excess butter. While pan is still hot, add breakfast sausage and onions. Cook until sausage is brown. Reduce heat to low, add flour, and stir constantly until flour is cooked (about 4 to 5 minutes). The flour will start to have a nutty aroma. Add milk and let simmer for about 10 minutes until sauce is thick. If it is too thick, add water until you have the desired thickness. I like to serve mine over roasted potatoes and carrots that have been seasoned with salt and black pepper.

Pickled Horseradish 4 cups horseradish, thinly sliced ¾ cup white vinegar 2 T sugar 3 T pickling spice ½ t salt Directions: Place all items except for the horseradish in a pot. Bring to a slow boil. Clean horseradish well with warm water, and use a small brush to remove all dirt. When liquid is ready, slice the horseradish with the skin until you have four cups. Place in a bowl and pour the hot liquid over the horseradish and let cool. Refrigerate for an hour. Note: Horseradish will get hotter the longer it sits after cutting. To control the amount of heat, do not cut the horseradish ahead of time for this recipe—I want the flavor without the intense heat. This pickled horseradish is great on a steak sandwich or as an accent for the country fried steak. If you have any questions or need a little help, let me know. Email me at John.Johnson@rivercity.com.
