CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE
SOCIETY WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT COLDPLAY ON CELLO COULD sound so cool and mellow? Or that tickling the ivories while whistling La Vie en rose can put the exclamation point on a romantic standard? Those of you who attended this month’s St. Louis Teen Talent Competition finals probably are still smiling at the memory of that remarkable night, when the area’s top high school acts came together to showcase just how exceptional a young person’s imagination and creativity can be. The contest, presented by the Fox Performing Arts Charitable Foundation, is in its third year and—judging from the packed house at The Fox—is becoming a St. Louis tradition. The competition is overseen by the magnificent Mary Strauss, who tells me that this is her next grand undertaking. (You may remember some 30 years ago, Mary embarked on one of these ‘projects.’) So I don’t know about you, but when Mary starts talking like that, I pay attention. Our coverage of the St. Louis Teen Talent Competition begins on p. 6.

21 TEST DRIVE: ELECTRIC/HYBRID CARS In celebration of Earth Day, we focus on electric/ hybrid automobiles. Though some may think electric cars are something new, from about 1900 to the late 1920s, there were a number of electric cars built and sold in America, including Milburns, Bakers and Detroit Electrics. Fast forward about 100 years, and what’s old is new again as people look for alternative ways to fuel their automobiles.
DINING OUT—ELAIA When we first heard about chef/owner Ben Poremba’s innovative vision of turning an old South City house into a fine-dining restaurant (Elaia), and the retired service station next door to it into a wine bar (Olio), we were a bit unsure of just how it would work out. Since the dual concepts have been up and running for a while now, we finally stopped in for dinner at Elaia and are pleased to report the project is quite the success.

Contr ibu tor s Warren Mayes Mayes, who was previously the editor of Missouri Golf, has written about golf for about 30 years. “Some of the major highlights this golf season will be the Senior PGA Championship at Bellerive, following Scott Langley’s progress on the PGA, and seeing if Ellen Port and Skip Berkmeyer maintain their high level of play and reach any USGA events.”
Matt Sorrell Spicy Bits columnist Sorrell has been writing about the city’s culinary scene for the past 12 years. “Now that spring is finally here, I’m really looking forward to seeing what local chefs are going to create with all of the bounty they’ll be receiving from area farms and gardens.”
Katie Yeadon Fashion editor Yeadon says this week’s spread featuring Moms on the Go was an exciting one. For her, balancing the responsibilities of motherhood with working is all in the planning. “It’s all about time-management and having an amazing support system of family, friends and fabulous sitters!” Delicious

A live auction of artwork was followed by the ‘Art of Fashion,’ a show representing today’s best designers, which was produced by Neiman Marcus and hosted by NM fashion director, Ken Downing. Co-chairs for the evening were Sam Foxman and Devon Fischer.

U.S. News and World Report has released its 2013 Best High Schools list, and four St. Louis schools, including CLAYTON HIGH SCHOOL, finished in the top four in Missouri. The rankings, based on state proficiency standards and how well the schools prepare students for college, lists METRO ACADEMIC AND CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL as No. 1, followed by CLAYTON, KIRKWOOD and MARQUETTE high schools.
A Kirkwood middle school teacher is among 200 chosen nationwide to form a ‘dream team’ of educators. LUIS ACTIS, who’s been teaching seventhgrade math at Nipher Middle School for 10 years, was chosen as part of the LearnZillion Dream Team based on his understanding of the Common Core State Standards and his ability to create highly conceptual lessons for students. He’ll be traveling to San Francisco next month to attend an intensive professional development conference, as well as work with other teachers to make their teaching methods available for free to every student, teacher and parent through online technology. Actis tells LN that he looks forward to learning more about using the technology to teach and provide students with a way of learning at their own pace. He also hopes to walk away with about 15 digital lessons for use at Nipher next year.
How was prom? LN would like to know! We’re looking for the best prom photos to feature in our May 10 issue. Send us your favorite picture, along with names, date of prom and high school. We’ll publish as many photos as space allows. All of them will appear on our website.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
Heroes to the Rescue
BY BRITTANY NAY
A
WEDDING IS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS in people’s lives. But at a recent reception, tragedy struck. That’s when Dr. Pedro Suarez sprang into action after a fellow guest’s pacemaker failed, causing her heart to stop beating. The local health professional’s medical skills and rapid response saved her life. Suarez is among local heroes to be honored by the American Red Cross St. Louis Area Chapter during its annual Lifesaver Awards Breakfast from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. May 9 at Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. The Red Cross will recognize heroes in 10 categories, including Youth Good Samaritan Brandon Hargrave, a 9-year-old who saved a classmate from choking on food in the school cafeteria; Adult Good Samaritan Lynn Kannawarf, a local nurse who performed CPR to save a heart attack victim; and 83-year-old Dean Hammann, who has organized every blood drive at his local church—Bonhomme Presbyterian—since 1994, securing 1,900 units of
blood and registering 2,000 donors. As the local Red Cross’ largest annual fundraiser, the Lifesaver Awards Breakfast will help the United Way-affiliated nonprofit continue to provide essential community services, from blood drives and disaster response to emergency preparedness and outreach for the armed forces and displaced families, notes CEO Cindy Erickson. With 2,000 volunteers and 100 staff members now serving 4.2 million people in 72 Missouri and Illinois counties, the local branch has provided assistance to almost 1,500 families after an emergency, including fires, tornadoes, floods and power outages in 2012. The Red Cross team most commonly responds to house fires—an average of three per day. “We are taking care of the family who is standing in the front yard watching their house burn, making sure they have a place to stay that night, as well as food, clothing, shoes, and emotional support, and sometimes that even includes a hug,” Erickson says. “Most people
Cindy Erickson
haven’t gone through a fire, so we help them formulate a plan for the next 24 to 48 hours.” Volunteers walked local residents through those critical steps when a massive, five-alarm fire destroyed their apartment building on Lindell Boulevard last year. “We set up a service center, and our volunteers stood outside at the fire all night canteening for firefighters and helping residents deal with the shock and the plan for the next few days,” Erickson recalls. “The kindness and compassion Continued on page 84

Being a working mom is a constant balancing act. Lately, I can fall asleep before my head hits the pillow. But I also know how lucky I am that I love my job. Work keeps me satisfied creatively, and I hope that translates into being a better mom. I want my kids to see that they can follow their passions in jobs that they love.
Meredith Boggess Public Relations Manager, Moneta Group Mom to Elise (3) and Ben (10 months) Often, being a ‘working mom’ feels like the best of both worlds—I spend quality time with my family, watching my amazing kids and enjoying the world through their eyes. I have a job that I love, that is challenging in all the best ways and that allows me to grow professionally and invest in my family’s future. The hardest thing about being a working mom is feeling that with so much to do, something always has to give. But I think all parents feel divided in that way at times—whether they work outside the home or not. Thank goodness for a supportive husband, our parents, our siblings my friends, my coworkers and the women who care for my kids while I’m at work—it takes a village to be a working mom!
Megan Beckemeier Group Director, Consumer Connections, Anheuser-Busch Mom to Charlie (3) Henry (2) and baby No. 3 (due in October) Some of the best parts about being a working mom are the feeling I get when I open the door at night and both of my boys come running to me as fast as they can, and the days where I feel a great stride in what I’m doing professionally, coupled with a true sense of balance with my family and my time spent with them. The hardest? Aside from being tired every day? Knowing I am missing some sweet little moments of curiosity and growth when I am away from them. On the cover:

IT’S ALL RELATIVE
Story Book Family
I
BY PAUL BROWN
’VE GOT A STORY TO TELL.” KRISTINA Blank Makansi and her daughter, Amira, hear those words a lot when people find out they publish books. Their publishing company, Blank Slate Press, was founded in 2010, and is steadily building a list of novels that it has brought to market. The list includes the debut novel of Fred Venturini titled The Samaritan—a book that so impressed the William Morris Agency that it put Venturini under contract. Blank Slate also is seeing notable success on the St. Louis Best-Seller List with KMOX reporter Kevin Killeen’s novel, Never Hug A Nun. Kristina, the editor and publisher of Blank Slate, founded t h e co m pa ny w i t h her husband after she KRISTINA BLANK spent many years as a MAKANSI copywriter and freelance author. Most of the company’s day-today work is done out of their home on historic Flora Place in South St. Louis. But Kristina and daughter Amira also spend plenty of time in local coffee shops, where there are always people with noses pressed into books. Today, it’s The Gelataria on South Grand Boulevard, located in the kind of eclectic neighborhood where you might expect to find aspiring authors if it were in any city other than St. Louis—a perception that Kristina finds completely invalid. “People should think of St. Louis as a hub for publishing,” she declares. “It has one of the richest literary traditions of any city in the country. We have a long history of fantastic, notable authors that have come out of St. Louis.” She adds that what the city lacks is a traditional commercial literary press. “That’s what Blank Slate Press is trying to be.” Amira already has the look of a CEO and, unlike her mom, is drawn to the business side of publishing. She studied history at the University of Chicago, but says she started writing and wanting to be in the book business long before she even graduated from MICDS in 2007. “It was a natural progression for me because I have always loved to write. I started to work on my first novel when I was 8. I wrote the first 50 pages by hand with a glitter gel pen.” Amira’s job title now is editorial coordinator.
“PEOPLE SHOULD THINK OF ST. LOUIS AS A HUB FOR PUBLISHING.”
Kristina and Amira Makansi
“When I tell my friends that I’m working with my mom at a small press in St. Louis, they say, Wow, that’s amazing! A lot of my friends are looking for jobs, are under-employed or not doing what they want to do, so I have the luxury of doing all these things and being intimately involved with it.” The Makansis jumped into the publishing business during what Kristina describes as a period of disruption in the industry because of new media sources and an ever-changing technology. “There are some in the business who say the sky is falling, but there are a lot of others not wedded to the traditional way of doing things over the past 50 years, who see this as a great opportunity.” They already are expanding their footprint with a second company called Treehouse Publishing Group. It’s what Kristina calls a ‘hybrid’ publishing concept. “In traditional publishing, the publisher takes all the risk, so they will only take on books that they think can sell,” she explains. “In the hybrid model, the author takes on the risk and does it all themselves or they pay experts to help them put out the best book possible.” Kristina says even if someone is a novice writer
and has a story about, say, for example, their grandmother’s cat, she may be able to help get it published, but it will take money to get it done. However, depending on the ability of the writer, she says it may take less money than one thinks. “Treehouse provides someone to hold your hand and walk you through creating the best book that you can create. Some people just want to give the book to their grandkids; not everyone wants to be on the New York Times best-seller list.” Blank Slate Press, on the other hand, is out to get as many authors as it can on as many bestseller lists as possible. When the Makansis are not working on other authors’ books, they are working on their own. All four members of the family (Kristina’s husband, Jason, and youngest daughter, Elena) together are writing a trilogy novel they’ve titled Seeds. “We’ve all been working on the novel, that’s the common thing,” Kristina notes. “Some families go to the park on Saturday; we might go to the park, too, and play some tennis, and then we all go home and work on our novels.” When Seeds is finished, it’s not likely going to be the ‘storybook ending’ for this family because—as they often hear from prospective authors—there are many more stories out there that are yet to be told.

his column is the first of several articles looking at ‘nuggets’ to lessen the fear of public speaking, things I have discovered through research and working with individuals and students I teach. We don’t want to completely rid ourselves of the fear of public speaking. Take that nervous energy and funnel it into your delivery! A presentation without energy is b-o-r-i-n-g! (Have you ever sat through a boring presentation? Don’t give one!) Nugget No. 1 Never—I mean, never—tell your audience you fear public speaking. I have seen great presentations almost ruined when the speaker starts their talk by saying, “I hate this. I’m nervous. I can’t stand public speaking.” Don’t do that! Here’s why: • It could become a self-fulfilling prophecy! Talking like that could make the worst come true. No negative self-talk! • The audience will look for an indication of you being nervous, and those searching eyes could raise your anxiety. • It makes the audience feel uneasy. The point of making a presentation is having your audience get it. They’ll be distracted from your message because you told them you’re uneasy delivering your talk. Nugget No. 2 Arrive early and meet and greet. I try to be the first to arrive at a venue where I’ll be a speaker. I want to greet each person as they arrive. Work the room, shake their hands and thank them for coming to the event. It is amazing how much easier it is to speak before people you’ve just met and greeted. This nugget is huge! Nugget No. 3 Name Tags—insist on them! Large print is best. First names only are fine. The important thing is that they can easily be read without having to be inches from the tag. Find out, in advance, if the audience will have name tags provided. If not, bring your own and a couple fine-point Sharpies. (I always have a supply with me.) Name tags reach out and pull individuals in. They close the gap between people and make the meet and greet a whole lot easier! Members of the audience also will appreciate them for their own introductions to other attendees. (Most people have a tough time remembering names.) Nugget No. 4 Write your own introduction. The introduction is an integral part of the presentation, and should be written by the speaker and presented by the emcee as if he or she wrote it. No one cares who you married, how many kids you have, and that collecting stamps is your hobby. Your introduction should be the equivalent of the king’s trumpeters announcing His Highness is about Continued on page 84

Prenups Vs. Postnups
T
By Julia Christensen
he Champagne toasts and wedding cake may have passed, but there still is time for claiming whose is whose. Postnuptial agreements, the figurative younger s i b l i n g o f t h e b e t te r- k n ow n prenuptial agreements, offer legal documentation of spousal understandings, should marital circumstances change in the future. But if you’re happily married, why bring attorneys into the picture? These agreements are not documents created to lure happy couples into divorce court. A postnup is “a written agreement between a husband and wife after the marriage has taken place where they plan for the future, in case of a dissolution of the marriage or death of a spouse,” says family law attorney Margo Green, of Green Cordonnier & House. She explains ‘postnups’ often are drafted because of changing circumstances, and gives an example of a married couple: Imagine
the wife suddenly comes into a multi-million dollar inheritance and the husband, who has children from another marriage, agrees that the finances are entirely hers. However, if a divorce ever occurs, the husband does not want to be required to pay spousal support, as she has financial security; and should he die, he wants his assets to go entirely to his children, not his wife. To document this decision, a postnup could be drawn, explaining what belongs to each party—things that could not have been decided upon before the start of the marriage. According to family law attorney Barbara Behrens, of Behrens Law Firm, these documents also can be used to lower relational stress by determining what (e.g., a business, the house) belongs to whom. “But in my experience, it has mostly been that they go into a new marriage and want to make sure their children from a first marriage get their assets.” Separating a prenuptial and postnuptial
agreement is merely the prefix and its associated meaning. “The only difference is that one was drafted and executed prior to the marriage,” says family law attorney Sam Hais, of Hais, Hais, Goldberger & Coyne. The effectiveness of the document may be another difference, although there is major discrepancy regarding the validity of a postnup in court. “My experience is this: Judges who understand marital agreements and are experienced in having practiced family law understand there is no real difference between a prenuptial agreement and a
The effectiveness of the document may be another difference, although there is major discrepancy regarding the validity of a postnup in court.

The Financial Impact of Divorce St a n g e L a w F i r m , P C
Missouri residents who have gone through a divorce know that no matter how well spouses still get along, the divorce can be emotionally draining. It is a major life change that will impact many aspects of a person’s life well after the ink is dry on the divorce paperwork. Finances are one of those areas that tend to be hit the hardest. This is due to the fact that there used to be two incomes and a certain amount spent each month on fixed expenses. Now, while someone may have been used to having a few hundred dollars -- or in some cases thousands -- leftover each month for discretionary spending, with just one income, the amount leftover for discretionary spending must once again be revisited. Suzanna de Baca, the vice president of wealth strategies at Ameriprise Financial, said it is easy for a recently divorced spouse to fall into “budget denial.” This
type of denial can quickly turn into a real financial headache if the person is spending outside of what is realistically affordable. To try and prevent this, those recently divorced should look through their earning and spending habits. From there, create a budget, understanding that this may mean eliminating former purchases. Additionally, when creating a budget, build in some type of savings. One way to go about this is to pick two or three categories of discretionary spending, like entertainment and clothes. Every month, try and spend a certain percent less on these non-essential categories in order to put money aside in a savings account. Of course, these are just some financial tips for after a divorce.

Continued from page 31 postnuptial agreement,” Hais says. “They’re all marital agreements.” On the other side, Green, who notes she does not in any way advocate for postnups, says they often do not hold up in court. “Judges don’t like them. They don’t see a reason for them.” Not even in the case of her example? According to Green, while that example couple may have a reason to want a postnup, Missouri law states that the inheritance would be untouchable if the funds were kept completely separate under the wife’s name. Furthermore, Green explains that most judges would see this example couple and realize the wife does not require post-marriage spousal support. “I don’t see the reason for them. I don’t see why people need them.” So it seems the jury may still be out on this issue. As with any important life event that requires a legal document, it’s best to consult with an attorney you trust before taking any significant steps.

BLOOD CLOTS
To Hurt or Help? BY CONNIE MITCHELL
B
LOOD CLOTS POSE A MEDICAL DICHOTomy: They save lives when they form on cuts or wounds, protecting underlying tissue and enabling healing; yet they threaten lives when they form in blood vessels, blocking necessary blood flow to vital organs. So while we rely on our blood to clot in circumstances of traumatic injury, we want to guard against the propensity for internal arterial or venous blood clots. “There are three causes (of blood clots) that are classically given in the literature and ‘doctor books’ when we study this, and they are injury, immobility and hypercoagulability of the blood, meaning the blood is thick,” explains Dr. Ricardo Rao, founder and president of Midwest Vascular and General Surgery and medical director of the Missouri Baptist Medical Center Vascular Laboratory. Blood that thickens and clots too easily may be related to various risk factors, including obesity, smoking tobacco products or i n h e r i te d c l o t t i n g disorders. However, Rao cites immobility as the most common cause. “People are most likely to get a blood clot when they are injured or have some sort of trauma like surgery, and then t h ey ’re i m m o b i l e , lying around,” he says. That scenario often describes post-operative hospital patients, who are among those at highest risk for blood clots. “Bloodthinning drugs are ro u t i n e l y u s e d to prevent blood clots in patients who are at risk,” says Dr. Suresh Vedantham, a diagnostic and interventional radiologist with Washington University Physicians. “In patients who cannot receive blood-thinning drugs, leg compression devices are used. If their condition permits, patients who are or have recently been hospitalized should try to walk for at least a few minutes several times a day. These measures should be taken in at-risk patients before they develop a

blood clot.” Another common cause for lengthy immobility is travel. Long road trips and, particularly, long flights in which passengers sit in one position for many hours increase risk of developing blood clots deep in the veins of the leg, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). These clots may break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a potentially life-threatening condition known as a pulmonary embolism. “People shouldn’t be that concerned in general because these events are fairly rare,” Rao says. “However, if you’re going to be on a long plane flight, there are two factors that can contribute to blood clots. No. 1 is the pressurization of the airplane. That slows down the blood flow in general, especially in the venous system. No. 2 is you end up sitting with your legs not moving for long periods of time and that goes into the immobility issue.” The solution to the latter concern is periodic movement. Getting up to walk the aisles occasionally and rotating the ankles can help move blood through the legs’ veins. If, despite
precautions, you develop abrupt pain, swelling or cramping, especially in only one leg, seek medical attention as soon as possible. “If you are diagnosed with a large blood clot, ask your doctor if he/she thinks you might benefit from targeted clot removal treatments delivered by an interventional radiologist,” Vedantham says. “With these treatments, a physician specialist injects a clot-busting drug into the blood clot through a catheter (a thin tube) that is placed in your leg with careful imaging guidance. This enables rapid elimination of the blood clot, which restores blood flow through the vein, with only a tiny skin incision. This may lead to faster relief of leg pain and swelling, and may also prevent long-term complications of the blood clot.” Rao emphasizes that clot prevention is key. “With a little bit of knowledge and a little bit of forethought, the average person can help prevent most of this. And we in the medical community are also trying to contribute to (prevention) when you’re in the hospital, which is probably the most common place a blood clot occurs.”

A Lifetime of Smiles BY CONNIE MITCHELL
T
HERE ARE MANY APPROACHES TO A YOUNGER-LOOKING face, from cosmetics to plastic surgery. But one of the most important components of a youthful appearance is a healthy smile. Maintaining the teeth and gums is critical to your overall beauty regimen. Simple discoloration is a relatively minor issue that usually can be easily corrected with bleaching, daily dental hygiene, regular professional cleanings and avoidance of staining substances, such as tobacco, coffee and red wine. Yet older people often experience other health concerns that may affect their teeth and gums. “Dry mouth due to medications can cause cavities, and diabetes causes an increased number of cavities and an increased risk for gum disease,” explains Dr. Kevin Postol, of Postol Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. He notes that custom tooth-whitening products, night guards to prevent undue wear on teeth from nocturnal grinding, and porcelain veneers all may help in maintaining a youthful smile. “Services like Invisalign (custom-made aligners that correct crowding and irregular bites) make it possible for adults to have the straight teeth they always desired without braces,” he adds. “Straight teeth are easier to keep clean and because of that, you are more likely to have less cavities and gum disease.” While straight, white teeth are important, the quality of our smile isn’t the only way that dental health affects appearance. Our teeth, gums and jaw form part of the facial structure that defines the contours of the face. “Most commonly, people’s teeth wear down and become broken and/or missing,” says Dr. John Boain, of Boain Dental Care. “When that happens, people lose vertical dimension in their face due to the collapsed bite. This causes an aged appearance by shrinking of the face, increased folds and less tissue support.” Maintaining healthy teeth and gums will help retain the bony facial scaffolding for our soft tissues. Thus, dental hygiene and care as we age remains extremely important. “Today, we must make great efforts in order to maintain our teeth for life,” Boain says. “Many people are spending a lot of money for dental implants to restore what they once had. The best treatment is to catch things early on: Maintaining what you have is much more cost-effective than repairing what was lost.” Postol agrees, adding, “A person who keeps his or her own natural teeth healthy for a lifetime is less likely to have other health problems and will live a longer life.”

Oral Facial Surgery BY BRITTANY NAY

EW TECHNOLOGY IS HELPING ORAL Facial Surgery Institute & Implant Center perform cutting-edge dental restoration for patients with the most complex needs. The 25-year-old practice, which offers treatment for conditions of the teeth, mouth, jaw and face, focuses on medical and dental care with an emphasis on technology, expertise and client satisfaction. “We do everything from removing wisdom teeth to restoring a complete arch of teeth,” says Dr. Michael Noble. And the latest generations of dental implants and anesthesia, as well as low-dose radiation and 3-D Cone Beam CT Scanners, allow for detailed surgery planning and execution that leads to better outcomes, he notes. The institute’s seven dental surgeons work to prevent, reconstruct and provide emergency care for patients’ functional and aesthetic oral and facial needs at four locations—Mercy St. Louis in Creve Coeur, as well as offices in Kirkwood, Chesterfield and Eureka. The specialists, who collaborate closely with patients’ restorative dentists, most commonly perform oral surgical procedures such as wisdom-tooth removal, bone-grafting and dental-implant placement.
“Some procedures can be completed in one day,” Noble says. Patients’ dental issues may be linked to a congenital defect or a facial injury, or they may desire a change for aesthetic reasons, he explains. Dental implant placements—small titanium posts—are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that feel, appear and work like natural teeth. During one or two procedures, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, helping preserve facial structure and preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. The implants can last for years with proper mouth hygiene and regular dental specialist appointments. In addition to tooth removal and implant services, the practice receives regional referrals for treatment of more complex surgical cases, including facial cosmetic surgery, corrective jaw surgery, TMJ surgery, microsurgical nerve repair and the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant oral diseases. And the institute’s specialists also are training the next generation of dental surgeons. The center offers oral and maxillofacial surgery fellowships, which entail hospital-based surgical, medical and anesthesia training for oral and maxillofacial resident graduates.

r. Daniel Gaitan’s practice focuses on the importance of preventive care, preemptive action and proactive health. He is able to detect early signs of serious illnesses through an annual physical exam that is recommended for each patient. Using the results of the comprehensive yearly physical, he develops an individualized wellness plan with the goal of protecting your health and enriching your quality of life. Specifically, Dr. Gaitan views preventive care and proactive health through the lens of endocrinology. His endocrinology practice is based on the philosophy of concierge care, also known as personalized care.
That means office appointments are unrushed so he may spend quality time developing personal relationships. A caring and patient-centered physician, Dr. Gaitan will take whatever time is necessary to fully explain the results of your physical exam, and to discuss ways in which you can best introduce the lifestyle changes needed to achieve optimum health. Because 60 percent of early deaths are a result of behaviors and/or chronic conditions that are preventable, Dr. Gaitan’s goal is to identify any hidden factors in your lifestyle that may lead to a chronic condition. With that information, he is able to develop a customized program that may reduce symptoms, improve quality of life and help avert diseases commonly seen in endocrinology. Dr. Gaitan earned his B.S. in biology from the University of Alabama in Birmingham in 1980, and graduated from University of Mississippi School of Medicine in 1986. He completed his residency and internship at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 1989. His interest in endocrinology and diabetes took him to Vanderbilt University, where he completed his fellowship in 1993. He is board-certified in internal medicine and endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, and is a member of the Endocrine Society, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and the American College of Physicians. For the past 12 years, he has been listed among the Best Doctors in America, a prestigious peerreview organization. In addition, Dr. Gaitan is a Fellow of the American College of Endocrinology and the American College of Physicians. He holds the academic position of Clinical Associate Professor at the Washington University School of Medicine, and is on staff at Barnes-Jewish, Barnes West County and Missouri Baptist hospitals.

A
s a Diplomate, national speaker and member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Postol is a general dentist who assists his patients to reclaim quiet, restful sleep to feel better and improve their overall health and quality of life. “I became interested in treating sleep apnea when I was diagnosed and did not want to wear a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask.” He discovered oral appliances as a treatment option and found them to be equally successful as CPAP in treating patients with mild and moderate sleep apnea. Oral appliances work by fitting a custom device over the upper and lower teeth to gently open the airway passage by bringing the lower jaw forward, allowing more room for the tongue and soft palate. The center’s
non-invasive oral appliance therapy has been shown to be a highly effective solution for patients who suffer from snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea, as well as those who suffer from severe apnea, but who are CPAP-intolerant. Dr. Postol’s expertise in this area assures you will receive not only the most effective, customized oral appliance therapy available to resolve your specific problem, but also the care and attention that you deserve. Dr. Postol works closely with physicians at sleep disorders centers in the greater St. Louis area to coordinate and effectively manage patient care. He is skilled with many different oral appliances, all of which are clinically tested and FDA-approved, to help each patient to reestablish quiet, restful sleep. “I have many patients tell me I have changed their lives because I have allowed them to get a better night of sleep and thus help improve their health and their relationships with their significant others,” says Dr. Postol. Symptoms of sleep apnea include waking up multiple times throughout the night, gasping for air and overall tiredness; snoring and being overweight may be indicators, as well as a large neck circumference. A true diagnosis is only available through a sleep study performed by a medical doctor. “Anyone who has untreated sleep apnea runs a greater risk of developing more serious issues, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, stroke, and depression, as well as potentially shortened life expectancy versus someone who is treated. My method of treatment is very simple, effective and covered by medical insurance.” What you need to know: • One of three Diplomates in the state of Missouri board certified to treat sleep apnea and snoring. • Speaks nationally and locally on sleep apnea treatment • New office designed to specifically treat sleep apnea and snoring patients.

Another element is the outdoor landscape lighting.” It doesn’t have to be a big investment, he notes, but subtle uplighting of trees or illumination of walkways can make a big impact when families entertain during the evening. Another way to take an outdoor space to the next level is to use unique plantings, Graeler notes. “I’ve been doing this for more than 30 years, and back when I started, you just had your basics, like the typical yew you see at your grandmother’s house. Now, even with the basics, there’s variety. Instead of just the basic yews that got 5 to 6 feet wide, we have ground-cover yews that grow about a foot off the ground and spread.” He also recommends using less common varieties of Japanese maple, weeping blue spruce, or boxwood. “Find something that’s outside the ordinary; something that’s unique to the space.”
A recent project by Chesterfield Valley Nursery includes a pergola for shade and a fire pit for the family to gather around.
When starting a landscaping project, Graeler warns, never buy anything without a plan. “What a lot of people do is go to the garden center and pick out five or six types of plants that they like, and then they get to their home and try to find a place for it, Continued on page 84 ON THE COVER For 24 years, Chesterfield Valley Nursery has helped homeowners with all of their landscaping needs.

OMEOWNERS HAVE LONG FOCUSED ON their property’s ‘curb appeal,’ trying to create beautiful gardens in the front yard that will welcome visitors; and one day, entice potential buyers. But more and more people are seeing the value of sprucing up their backyards, as well, since that’s where families spend a lot of time in the warmer months, notes Jim Graeler, president of Chesterfield Valley Nursery. “More people are trying to personalize their backyards, creating spaces to do the things that they really like, whether that’s getting outside and grilling, or just someplace that they can go at the end of the day to create their own oasis,” Graeler says. The scope of a backyard project can be as simple as expanding a patio, or complex enough to create separate spaces for each family member’s activities. “We have a lot of people who love to go out every night and grill; they want to have friends over and have big parties, and they want a spectacular area for entertaining,” he says, recalling a client who is having an old, worn out deck removed, to be replaced with a multi-level paver patio with a sunken hot tub, a grill area and outdoor fireplace. “All of these areas are their own

HEN IT COMES TO BOTH DECORATING and entertaining, designer Bunny Williams is the epitome of classic, oldschool style. Here, Williams offers advice setting up a classic drinks table, evocative of a slower, gentler, more gracious era. “In whatever room you use the most— your living room, family room or library— I suggest having a bar that can be freely used. Growing up in the South, where entertaining was constant (people even dropped by unannounced), I learned to be ready. My great-aunt Berta had the most wonderful American pine corner cupboard in her living room. During the day, the doors were closed, but about five o’clock in the evening, the doors would be opened. Inside were shelves with glasses of various sizes and a complete supply of sodas, fruit juices and an assortment of liquors; a silver ice bucket and a pitcher of water were brought in, and she was ready to receive guests. We all felt comfortable helping ourselves. Mahogany three-tiered trolleys make great bars. The top can hold a tray with glasses and an ice bucket, and lower shelves can hold cans of sodas, juices and bottles of water. Narrow cabinets are also perfect for a drinks area with storage in the bottom cupboards.” —Bunny Williams in Scrapbook for Living

DIVERSIONS ELECTRIC/HYBRID CARS
Charge It! Chevrolet Volt
BY ROBERT PASTER
I
N CELEBRATION OF EARTH DAY THIS month, we focus on electric/hybrid automobiles. Though some may think electric cars are something new, from about 1900 to the late 1920s, there were a number of electric cars built and sold in America, including Milburns, Bakers and Detroit Electrics. They were mainly driven around town by women who didn’t want to deal with the oil, gas, fumes and shifting of an internal combustion engine. Fast forward about 100 years, and what’s old is new again as people look for alternative ways to fuel their automobiles. The first mainstream American car maker to introduce a modern electric car is Chevrolet with the Volt, a mid-sized four-door hatchback with an electric motor and a 1.4-liter, 4-cylinder gas engine that can kick in to recharge the batteries that power the electric motor. The batteries alone can power the car for about 38 miles. If you want to go farther, on a full charge and a full tank of gas, you can go up to 380 miles. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the Volt is how unremarkable it is. It looks, feels and drives like any typical modern sedan. The biggest differences are the lack of engine noise when under battery power alone, and the fact that you can plug it in to an electric outlet to replenish it. The interior is that of a typical American sedan, with a video screen at the top of the center console, but instead of hard buttons to control functions, ‘touch’ buttons make it easy to adjust the radio and climate controls. The manually adjustable, heated front seats are modestly bolstered, and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes manually. The only noticeable difference from most sedans is that the Volt is only a four-seater, not five. There’s a console between the two rear seat passengers, who do get nicely bolstered seats with a decent amount of leg
room. Flip the back seats down, however, and cargo room is huge when added to the already generous cargo space below the easy-to-load hatch opening. Typical modern features such as stability and traction control, keyless entry and a back-up camera are all included on the Volt. Different drive modes allow you to choose from normal, sport and mountain modes, and even let you save the all-electric mode for later. Plugged into a normal 120-volt outlet, the Volt recharges in 10 to 16 hours. Connected to a 240-volt charger, that time is reduced to 4 hours. The lithium ion batteries are warranted for eight years or 100,000 miles. Thanks to the instantaneous torque of an electric motor, acceleration is brisk at any speed. Braking is good and the regenerative brakes help recharge the batteries. Handling is typical of an American sedan, with a nice, smooth highway ride providing for a pleasant driving experience. In electric mode, it gets the equivalent of 98 mpg. In gas mode, it’s 37. I got 56 using half-electric, half-gas. The switch from pure electric to gasoline-generated electric is all but seamless. Cort Howard, general sales manager at ELCO Chevrolet says, “The Volt is truly electric to drive. Its lithium battery-driven electric motor is the latest in electric car technology.” Base price for the Volt is about $40,000 (mid40s with options). It may, however, be eligible for a $7,500 tax credit, which would directly offset that much of the cost. Another interesting, ecologically friendly car is the Lexus CT 200h, a smallish hybrid hatchback, which represents a departure for Lexus. Though they’ve had hybrid vehicles for several years now, previous models were hybrid versions of existing vehicles that just got better mileage than their non-hybrid counterparts. The CT200 is the first
Lexus CT 200h
purpose-built hybrid. Styling is typical Lexus up front and through the four doors, but then ends in a gently sloped rear hatch. Fortunately, the interior is typical Lexus luxury, with nicely bolstered, heated leather seats, dual automatic climate control, an available sunroof, a back-up camera and a hide-away video screen on the dash at the top of the center console. Unfortunately, the video screen is controlled by a remote joystick/mouse with an ‘enter’ button between the seats that takes some acclimation to use effectively. A touch screen would be a lot easier and more intuitive. Back-seat room is decent for a small car, with sufficient leg room behind an average-sized adult. There’s a decent amount of cargo room behind the fold-down rear seats, and the cargo area is very easily accessible through the wide opening hatch. With the rear seats folded, there’s a ton of cargo space. The ride is Lexus-smooth; handling is decent and is enhanced by a McPerson strut suspension in front and a fully independent double-wishbone set-up in the rear, though it’s no sports car. Four different drive modes are available: battery alone, economical, normal and sport. Fuel economy is 43 city, 40 highway. Cruising range with a full tank of gas is 480 miles. That’s Kansas City and back on one tank of gas! The 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which helps economy and smoothness, but contributes to a zero to 60 time of a leisurely 9.8 seconds. Braking is fine, and its regenerative. It has the same funny gear selector as a Prius. According to Plaza Lexus salesman Rick Wallace, “The gas mileage is the CT’s best selling point. It gets much better mileage than its competitors.” Prices for the Lexus CT 200h start at approximately $32,500 and reach the mid- to high-30s well-equipped.

St. Louisan since 1999, Kim Eberlein states her strength: “If there’s a group of people in the room, I’ll try to organize them.” Her idea of personal reward? Invite someone new to the board experience, then watch the person flourish. Training to answer the crisis hotline for Safe Connections, which serves victims of domestic violence, introduced her to a cross section of St. Louis – people of different neighborhoods, ages and experiences. As board chair, she recruited people from different backgrounds. Working with the Women’s Society of Washington University, Eberlein provided various outlooks. The single focus of St. Louis Women’s Group on Race Relations, which she cofounded, is to bring together people of different backgrounds who step across invisible boundaries and form unexpected friendships.
As president of the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri, Sheila Greenbaum hopes to provide institutional memory and vision for the future. The attorney at Capes, Sokol, Goodman & Sarachan became involved in the advocacy group after law school graduation. Greenbaum lists issues of immigration policy, privacy in the digital age, implications of drone technology and traditional privacy rights. She sees an exciting challenge in educating people in their personal meaning on behalf of the reunified group. Past-president of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis, Greenbaum remains a board member. Her 30-year leadership includes spearheading a strategic plan which prioritized involving the next generation. She helped create the Federation’s Lifeline Fund, sparked by the economic downturn. Serving on the board of Planned Parenthood speaks to her civil liberties background.
Combined luck and persistence helped diagnose Margaret Israel’s son. “It was in 1981, before anybody knew the word ‘Fragile X,’” she says of the syndrome, a genetically inherited autism spectrum disorder. A new test at Children’s Hospital helped diagnose and pinpoint therapy for the incurable disorder. Persistently seeking the cause, she founded and became president of the Fragile X Resource Center of Missouri in 1992. A board member of the St. Louis Jewish Community Relations Council more than 25 years, she has been a leader on the St. LouisRiga Sister Community Committee. Israel helped orchestrate three medical missions with supplies to the hospital in Riga, Latvia. The dilapidated hospital was returned without resources to the Jewish community when Latvia was free of the former Soviet Union.
In more than 30 years of volunteer work with the National Council of Jewish Women, Legal Advocates for Abused Women and College Bound, Sally Katzif cannot forget one day. The Silent Witness Project, a traveling exhibit she spearheaded, was displayed in the Missouri Capitol before legislation fighting domestic violence was introduced. Schoolchildren from St. Louis had tears in their eyes as they read a badge on a life-size female figure. It told the real-life story of their former teacher, a “silent witness” murdered in Missouri. Katzif became involved with NCJW as a volunteer legal advocate answering hotline calls from women experiencing domestic violence. Last year, the board member at College Bound celebrated with the nonprofit’s first class of under-resourced high school students to graduate from college.
Veronica McDonnell’s creativity goes a long way in fundraising. Guests at Choose Your Shoes bought raffle tickets for a room of donated designer shoes. Proceeds bought a breast mammography van for Missouri Baptist Healthcare Foundation. Resurrecting the idea, Choose Your Shoes 2 let the hospital buy a functional breast biopsy bed – and tucked away extra dollars for men and women who cannot afford a biopsy. Another passion for McDonnell is character development and education. She serves on the Board of Trustees at the Saint Louis Art Museum and is trustee at the Missouri History Museum. McDonnell created Friends of CHARACTERplus to raise awareness and funding for the CHARACTERplus program started by her father-in-law 25 years ago to deal with cheating, bullying, attendance, leadership, teamwork and honesty.

Strong support of United Way by Edward Jones encouraged Merry Mosbacher to give back to the community. Once an intern with the investment company, she is a principal responsible for the insurance and annuity products area. Merry and Jim Mosbacher, her husband, lead United Way’s engagement of new members of the de Tocqueville Society, individual donors of at least $10,000 each year who also organize service projects at United Way agencies. The native St. Louisan, graduate of the Washington University Business School, chairs the school’s Eliot Society Patron’s Committee. She and her husband have been involved at St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf more than 30 years. Mosbacher’s love for theater finds a home as president of the Board of Trustees of Stages St. Louis.
Diagnosis of a malignant mass in 23-yearold Peggy Nelson’s humerus led to removal of her arm, collarbone and shoulder blade. Cancer patients who leave St. Louis hospitals today benefit from the support of the Cancer Support Community. Nelson, oncology nursing specialist, became a founder and chaired The Wellness Community (now Cancer Support Community) for three years. She started its Cancer Survivorship Walk. The community’s “smorgasbord” of free opportunities empower with knowledge, strengthen with action and sustain with community. Nelson has been a counselor for 20 years. Many of her fears, including that she would die, have not come true. She plays the piano; her children – ages 37, 35 and 30 – are married, and she expects to welcome a third grandchild.
Entrepreneur Brenda Newberry is concerned with developing the next generation of businesses to make the United States successful in the future. A graduate in business management from Webster University, in 2010 she became the first woman and first African-American to be named chairman of the school’s board of trustees. She and her husband, Maurice, co-chair the Charmaine Chapman Society, United Way’s African-American Leadership giving group. They sold The Newberry Group, their information technology firm, to employees in 2008. Newberry chaired the Business Services Committee of the RCGA board, developing “Breakfast with the Gazelles” and Young Professionals Network to encourage young pro-
Marian Nunn’s involvement in various nonprofits usually starts with a request for her skills as a commercial real estate and financial consultant. “Then I really get pulled in and develop a passion for the mission,” she admits. It took two years to get a building off the ground for The Youth Center which provides after-school programs in a low-income neighborhood of St. Louis. Nunn put professional – and personal – interest in building a new gym for The Wilson School, a 100-year-old independent school known for academic performance and diversity. After hiring a Life Skills client, she helped restructure the group’s employment program. Nunn is board chair for St. Louis Cultural Festivals, sponsor of St. Louis Art Fair each year. Early involvement in art improves critical thinking skills and provides “enrichment for the soul,” she says.
Multicultural Leadership Vida Prince, known as ‘Sister Prince,’ started her life’s work in 1977 after reading about the newly formed Holocaust Center. Hearing survivors speak to children sparked a desire to document their experiences. The St. Louis Center for Holocaust Studies (now Holocaust Museum and Learning Center) endorsed the Oral History Project, which Prince has chaired ever since, collecting 200 audio recordings, 200 videos and more than 2,500 photos from survivors. She also has recorded oral history for the African-American community and immigrants from several Asian nations. Her book, “That’s the Way It Was: Stories of Struggle, Survival and Self-Respect in 20th Century Black St. Louis,” was recently published after more than a decade compiling experiences of 13 African-Americans.

T’S GETTING CLOSER…SOON, ST. LOUIS will be hosting the top senior professional golfers in the world. Defending champion Roger Chapman of England, who turned in perhaps golf’s most amazing success story of 2012, heads a list of 23 international entries for the 74th Senior PGA Championship May 21 to 26 at Bellerive Country Club. Chapman, who turns 54 on May 1, stunned the golf world last year at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich., by capturing the Senior PGA Championship. It was Chapman’s first professional victory since 2000. Less than two months later, he went on to win the U.S. Senior Open title. In the process, he became the first Englishman to win a Senior PGA Championship and third from his homeland to win on the Champions Tour. At Bellerive, Chapman will be part of a 156-player field representing 12 countries in the most historic and prestigious event in senior golf. Chasing Chapman for a senior crown is Germany’s Bernhard Langer, who owns 17 Champions Tour titles since joining the circuit in 2007, and two top-five finishes in the Senior PGA Championship. It will mark the second senior major conducted at Bellerive (the first was when Peter Jacobsen won the U.S. Senior Open in 2004). This is the first time Bellerive will host the Senior PGA Championship; and with it, Bellerive becomes only the third club in the U.S. to host all four traveling men’s professional major championships. Joining Chapman among the early entrants are four other former Senior PGA champions: U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Tom Watson (2001, ‘11), Hale Irwin (1996, ‘97, ‘98, ‘2004), Tom Wargo (1993) and Mike Reid (2005). There currently are 12 past major champions in the field: Mark Calcavecchia, Irwin, Tom Kite, Bernhard Langer, Andy North, Mark O’Meara, Nick Price, Scott Simpson, Jeff Sluman, Curtis Strange, Watson, and Ian Woosnam. Other notable commitments are two-time PGA Championship winner — including the 1992 PGA Championship played at Bellerive — and British Open winner Nick Price, as well as two-time U.S. Open winner and ESPN analyst, Andy North.

De Smet Jesuit has six players back from last year’s team that finished sixth in the Class 4 state tournament. Westminster Christian Academy has three players back from last year’s squad that wound up third in the Class 3 state tournament. Metropolitan Amateur Match Play Championship The 2013 Metropolitan Amateur Match Play Championship field of 16 for the May 4 and 5 event has been finalized. This annual competition featuring the top players from the previous season will be conducted again at Old Warson Country Club. Two-time defending champion Justin Bryant has moved on to the professional ranks, which opens the door for a new champion in 2013. Fivetime champion of this event, Skip Berkmeyer, will be the top seed after his 2012 Player of the Year performance. The remainder of the 16-player field is: Joe Migdal, Jeff Johnson, Ted Moloney, Phil Caravia, Andy Frost, Kevin Bell, Brian Bohme, Tommy Ponce, Garrett Sneed, Mike Ehlers, Alex Cusumano, Mike Kendrick, Matt McKiernan, Corey Choate and Tommie Wuennenberg. Gateway Cup The 2013 Gateway Cup Matches ended in a 14-14 tie, meaning the Gateway PGA retains the cup for another year of bragging rights. A total of 28 of the the area’s best golfers— amateurs and professionals, public course golfers, country club golfers, public course pros and country club pros—dueled over the two-day event until the end. The final 14-14 tie came down to the very last
match. The amateurs needed just a half point from the last two matches to claim the title, but were unable to get it. Participants included Andy Fogarty, Brian Fogt, Patrick Britt, Ryan Roy, Eli Grant, JC Anderson, Ted Moloney, Gideon Smith, Brett Meeske, Brett Moomey, Scott Edwards, Jeff Whitfield, Jeff Johnson, Nash Haxel, Tom Barry, JD Auping, Brevin Giebler, Scott Brauer, Andy Frost, Ty Zimmerman, Joe Migdal, Rob Sedorcek, Chad Niezing, Mike Tucker, Phil Caravia, Mike Suhre, Skip Berkmeyer and Bob Gaus. Missouri Women’s Golf Association The Missouri Women’s Golf Association will be visiting Franklin County Country Club in Washington during May 21 and 22 when they meet for MWGA’s 15th Two Lady Scramble Tournament. Women from all corners of Missouri join MWGA for the pursuit of one common goal—their love of golf and the promotion of the game for all women in Missouri. Next month, 60 MWGA teams will descend upon Washington to tee it up for the first event of the season. The Two Lady Scramble tournament ranks among the favorite tournaments of MWGA members, as it is a friendly format that women can compete in a fun atmosphere on some of the most entertaining venues in the state. Franklin County Country Club is a beautiful layout with rolling hills and undulating greens. MAGA’s New Location The Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association has moved.

REVIEWS THEATER REVIEW
Waiting for Godot
BY MARK BRETZ
STORY Two men converse on a barren landscape. They appear to be in dire straits, although their now shabby clothes indicate they once held loftier places in society. They talk about a man named Godot, who has promised to visit them today, much like he has indicated numerous times in the 50 years they have waited. As of yet, though, they have never actually met this individual. They pass the time swapping stories and reminiscences, playing odd games and foraging for food, somehow maintaining optimism despite their pitiful condition. Eventually a stately man journeys down the road on which they have rested, accompanied by another person who is restrained by a rope and treated as a beast of burden. Is this well-dressed man Godot, they wonder? It turns out that is not the case. Nonetheless, they strike up a conversation with the surly gentleman and his hapless slave companion. Eventually, a young boy comes by with news that the arrival of Mr. Godot will be delayed still again. When will the elusive and mysterious Godot finally appear?
HIGHLIGHTS Playwright Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece has been termed “the greatest play of the 20th century,” and has been much dissected, analyzed and discussed ever since its debut in 1953. Although Beckett was Irish, he lived most of his life in Paris and Godot originally was written in French. The English translation is subtitled ‘a tragic-comedy in two acts,’ although it’s been said that there’s little difference between the two halves. Maybe, however, that’s the way Beckett intended it to be. Full of ambiguity and existential angst, Waiting for Godot is provocative and compelling, even though nothing ostensibly ever happens. In the hands of director Bobby Miller, who considers Godot his personal favorite play, the current production staged by St. Louis Actors’ Studio is a joy to observe and one Beckett aficionados likely will find engaging.
Gary Wayne Barker and Terry Meddows present an almost balletic interpretation of the relationship between Vladimir and Estragon, who spend most of the drama referring to each other by the nicknames of Didi and Gogo. While Barker as Vladimir ponders the possibilities of what Godot’s arrival will mean, Meddows’ Estragon concerns himself more with feeding his lingering hunger and massaging his feet from the torture of boots too small. Both actors make much out of seemingly little, showing how they are such accomplished performers. A routine of swapping three hats back and forth is handled with the smoothest dexterity, just as Vladimir’s frequent thoughts of suicide by hanging from that desolate tree are played out in beguiling fashion. Much is made as well of Estragon’s delight in the smallest bits of nourishment he can finagle, whether a lone carrot or the chicken bones thrown away by Pozzo. That latter character is given a rich and hearty performance by Greg Johnston, who smoothly moves from the pompous braggadocio and cruelty espoused by the regal but coarse Pozzo in Act I to the timid and tentative halting of the starkly transformed character in Act II. As the ironically named Lucky, Aaron Orion Baker, awash in startlingly pasty makeup, shuffles meticulously in deference to the degradation heaped upon him by Pozzo. Just as impressively, he spews a stream of elegant thoughts and mindless gibberish like an opened fire hydrant when commanded to “think.”
PLAY: Waiting for Godot GROUP: St. Louis Actors’ Studio VENUE: Gaslight Theater, 358 N. Boyle Ave. DATES: April 26-28, May 2-5 TICKETS: $25-$30; 458-2978, stlas.org RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5.
While Waiting for Godot most assuredly has its detractors, the St. Louis Actors’ Studio version is a most welcome addition to memorable past renditions, anxiously awaiting the always frustrating title character.

Miller himself starred with local director, actor and John Burroughs teacher Wayne Salomon in a version mounted by Theatre Project Company in 1979. A more recent and quite memorable rendition at The Black Rep in the mid-‘90s featured Salomon and Black Rep founder Ron Himes. So, it may be some 20 years since a local company has brought Beckett’s classic to the stage, all the more reason to cherish this splendid version. Miller has assembled an expert cast, a cadre of four accomplished actors, plus the estimable talents of young Hayden Benbenek as the boy in a brief role. Performing on a mostly barren stage dominated by a dead tree, a pair of rocks and a background canvas that occasionally is illuminated by the moon, the quartet of actors offers a dazzling and delicious approach to Beckett’s satirical jabs at religion, society and the role of homo sapiens on planet Earth. Miller maintains a precise pace that doesn’t allow the play’s inertia to bog down proceedings, while also allowing his players to properly cultivate their characters’ idiosyncrasies. Each of the major actors fully invests himself into his role, drawing from a reservoir of emotions and ruminations that propel the production.

over the audience. We spent two years working on this and so many generous people stepped forward to help get it done. Share some highlights of this summer’s shows. We will open with Spamalot (June 17-23), a Tony Award-winning Best Musical based on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail film. It’s just a romp. We decided to do a ’30s musical –style that’s just wham-bang fun. It will keep people laughing all night. Then we have Shrek (June 24-30), a really fascinating musical based on the original book that takes a look at what stories we tell in fairy tales, why we need them and how they impact us. It’s a really beautiful production directed by John Tartaglia (Genie from The Muny’s Aladdin show last year), who has a puppeteer background from Sesame Street and played Pinocchio in Shrek on Broadway.
Q&A
What else does the season have in store? Next is Nunsense (July 1-7), where we will get 40 tapdancing nuns onstage, which I believe we’re going to accomplish. The show is a worldwide phenomenon by Dan Goggin, who will direct it Muny-style. It’s pretty crazy and pretty funny, and we will have a dream team of hilarious women, with a few surprises.
A COOL BREEZE WILL NOW FLOW THROUGH the hot summer nights at The Muny in Forest Park. Audiences can sit back and take in the comforting effect of high-tech fans as they experience the open air theater’s new season of shows. The 95th year will open June 17 with Monty Python’s Spamalot, starring John O’Hurley of Seinfeld fame. LN recently spoke with executive director Mike Isaacson for the scoop on the season, its stars and many more surprises.
Tell us about the classics coming to the stage for the season’s second half. South Pacific (July 8-14) is the greatest Rodgers and Hammerstein show of all time. It’s truly a masterpiece, so we will do it proud with the full Muny orchestra and the same team of directors who brought us The King and I last year. They are really invested in making something magical. Les Miserables (July 15-21) will be interesting coming out in the context of the movie, and we’re putting together a production that is going to be so full and vibrant with Richard Alexander, who supervised the original Broadway tour. Mary Poppins (July 25-Aug. 2) will have some magical tricks—Mary will fly. And we will close the season with West Side Story (Aug. 5-11), the classic, using original Jerome Robbins choreography, director Gordon Greenberg (director of The Muny’s Pirates! last year), and an incredible, young, vibrant cast of talent that is very passionate about doing this right. So get ready, here it comes!

Describe the improvements to The Muny for the new season. The big news of this year is our new fans. It’s very exciting because this is the first time the technology will be used in this type of outdoor theater setting.

Who will be starring in this season’s shows? We are thrilled to have John O’Hurley (Seinfeld, Family Feud, Dancing With the Stars) playing King Arthur in Spamalot. He will be a hilarious lead for the show. Even more stars will be announced in a couple of weeks. What other surprises can audiences look forward to this season? You’re not going to believe the talent onstage for Les Miserables. They will make it soar. Talk about how St. Louis has continued to embrace The Muny through the years. There’s a sense that we are a better city and better community by doing this each summer. People from every walk of life come out happy and ready to go. And so many performers have remarked about how they can feel the audience wanting them to succeed. What is it about The Muny that keeps audiences coming back for more? We really feel The Muny has a relationship with its audience unlike any other in the nation—and I would argue, the world. It’s strange and beautiful—there is no roof and you see the trees—it’s a very rare and often magical experience that is unlike sitting in a Broadway theater or any other place.

W BY SIDNEY LEWIS
It’s been announced that after 30 years, Dierdorf & Hart’s Steakhouse will be closing its doors in Westport Plaza. Since opening in 1983, the establishment has served as a go-to meeting place for many a business deal and countless special occasions for local families. The restaurant was locally owned and operated by former football greats DAN DIERDORF and JIM HART, and managing partner LOU GARESCHE. Lunch service ended last week, and dinner service will continue until Saturday, May 18. Farmington, Mo., native NATHANIEL REID has been tapped as the new pastry chef at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, replacing SIMONE FAURE, now of La Patisserie Chouquette in Tower Grove. Among many other accolades, Reid was named one of the Top 10 Pastry Chefs in America by Dessert Professional magazine last year. A Mizzou grad, Reid also graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris with a Grand Diploma in Culinary and Pastry Arts. Most recently, he served as pastry chef for Norman Love Confections in Fort Meyers, Fla. Chef CARL HAZEL has left his post as executive chef at Eleven Eleven Mississippi. Co-owner PAUL HAMILTON tells us chef WADE WALLER, who was previously sous chef at Eleven Eleven and Vin De Set, will helm the kitchen. The restaurant’s menu recently got a spring makeover and Waller will be doing some further tweaking of it in the near future. Urban Chestnut Brewing Company opened its doors just a couple of years ago and has already revealed plans for an expansion—a big one. The company is in the planning stages of a new, significantly larger production brewery at the former Renard Paper Company at 4465 Manchester Ave. in The Grove. UCBC is partnering with local sustainable real estate firm Green Street St. Louis to renovate the 70,000-square-foot space. The project will increase the brewery’s annual brewing capacity to 15,000 barrels. Look for the doors to open in early 2014.
HEN WE FIRST h ea rd a b o u t c h e f / owner Ben Poremba’s innovative vision of turning an old South C i t y h o u s e i n to a fine-dining restaurant (Elaia), and the retired service station next door to it into a wine bar (Olio), we were a bit unsure of just how it would work out. Since the dual concepts have been up and running for a while now, we finally stopped in for dinner at Elaia and are pleased to report the project is quite the success. From the exterior, the restaurant looked every bit the charming, if anonymous, Southside brick home. There was no signage or anything else to belie what’s happening within its walls. While the house is fairly nondescript on the outside, the inside is anything but. The rear of the first floor space has been gutted and fitted with an enclosed commercial kitchen, while the front rooms serve as the dining room. In contrast to the throwback charm of the home’s exterior, the interior was modern and minimalist, decorated in varying shades of gray and white, with walls augmented by spindly sconces sporting bare bulbs and a chandelier made with myriad kitchen utensils. All in all, the vibe was sophisticated and elegant, though a bit cold. Like some other notable eateries around town, Elaia has gone the tasting menu route. The bill of fare featured four courses priced at $55 per person (not including wine). However, each course was available as a separate a la carte option, so diners could pick and choose what dishes they wanted to try without going all in—a really good option for those not particularly peckish. We, on the other hand, dove right into all four courses, each of which offered four or five choices. Our server told us the menu changes often, based on seasonality and the creative direction of the kitchen. Choices for the first course included a gorgeous bowl of chilled pea soup, topped with a fold of smoked salmon and a bit of roe, and some creamy buratta (basically a soft cheese made with mozzarella and cream), drizzled with honey, olive oil and balsamic. Both dishes were finished at the table, always an elegant touch. The veal sweetbreads we enjoyed next were superlative. Topped with a cauliflower tehini and some fried capers, it was as tender as the most prime cut, with none of the toughness associated with organ meats. The gnocchi, deftly prepared with just a bit of chive and preserved lemon, was equally as satisfying. It paired quite well with a glass of Albrecht Brut rose ($10). Course No. 3’s delights included duck breast and striped bass. The slices of duck came with
a bit of sweet butternut squash puree, some crisp snap peas for contrast and a scattering of gizzards, which were as tender as the sweetbreads. The bass was topped with a bit of grapefruit for an interesting touch of color and tang. For dessert, a flaky choquette and some ‘chocolate and coffee,’ (a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, mocha mousse and some 14k gold flecks as garnish) fit the bill nicely. Service was exceptional and the wine pairings, courtesy of GM Andrey Ivanov and assistant beverage director Brandon Kerne, both awardwinning sommeliers, were spot-on. The Elaia experience was comfortable, intimate and most importantly, delicious. We can’t wait to return to Tower Grove to sample what Olio has to offer.

To accent this seasonal special, Jovanovic chose a “natural wine” from Gaillac in Southern France, Les Peyrouzelles, a blend of some rare and ancient grape varietals like Braucul, Duras, Alicante, Prunelart, Jurancon and some Syrah. “This is an easy-drinking wine with ripe tannins and subtle black pepper notes throughout the palate,” he says.
Nico, 6525 Delmar Blvd., 727-0200, nicostl.com. Chef Grace Dinsmoor of Nico is known for her affinity for seafood dishes, and one of the latest on her current menu is a bouillabaisse with shrimp, scallops and mussels, along with Nico’s house-made chorizo. Dinsmoor likes to pair this specialty with the Peitón 2011 Albariño from Spain. Dinsmoor uses the wine in the broth of the bouillabaisse, along with with garlic, tomato onion and crushed Truffles chili pepper. She says the wine’s citrus notes, peachy nose and tart acidic lemony finish make it a spot-on pairing with all sorts of seafood. Mosaic, 1001 Washington Ave., 621-6001, mosaicrestaurants.com.

Michael Pollan Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation
The Crossing
Nico
Continued from page 78 French wine has a vivid structure, passion fruit notes and refined finish that perfectly complements the complexities of this dish.
Thursday, May 9, 7 p.m. Lecture, Q&A and Book Signing* Skip Viragh Center for the Arts 425 S. Lindbergh
.
Join us for an evening with Michael Pollan as he discusses his latest book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation. Pollan is known for thoughtful essays, magazine articles and books exploring the places where nature and culture intersect. For his newest volume, Pollan apprenticed himself to a succession of culinary masters, learning how to grill with fire, cook with liquid, bake bread and ferment everything from cheese to beer. In the course of his journey, he discovered that the cook stands squarely between nature and culture. Both realms are transformed by cooking, and so, in the process, is the cook. *This is a ticketed event: cooked.brownpapertickets.com Ticket packages admit one person and include one copy of Cooked, which Pollan will sign following the event. Additional books will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of Left Bank Books. Author interviews air Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on HEC-TV and on demand at hectv.org. facebook.com/maryvilleuniversity, “Maryville Talks Books”

Morton’s The Steakhouse, 7822 Bonhomme Ave., 725-4008, mortons.com. Although well-known for its fine steaks, Morton’s has plenty of surf options to complement its turf offerings, like the panroasted Alaska halibut with brown butter caper sauce and fresh spring vegetables, which debuted on the menu earlier this month. GM Jeff Daniels says this fish dish pairs quite nicely with a 2011 Conundrum, a full-flavored white blend from California. The Crossing, 7823 Forsyth Blvd., 721-7375, fialafood.com / the-crossing. Nothing says springtime like mushrooms, and The Crossing is taking full advantage of these seasonal treats. On his spring menu, chef Matt Abeshouse is featuring spring morels tossed in fresh tagliolini pasta, which marries up well with a Mas Karolina from Maury, France. Cardwell’s On The Plaza, 97 Plaza Frontenac, 997-8885, billcardwell.com. The Frontenac mainstay is offering a pan-roasted, first-of-the-season Alaskan halibut with port-roasted grapes, jumbo crab and watercress herb salad with cracked wheat and green beans. Try this delicacy with a 2010 Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir. We’re told this seafood spectacular is superbly complemented by the delicate structure of this wine. The roasted grapes pull out some bright cherry notes from the vino, while the wheat and watercress coax forward the complex spices in both the food and the wine. Herbie’s Vintage 72, 405 N. Euclid Ave., 769-9595, herbies.com. The first installment from new executive chef Chris Ladley is a spring risotto, with sweet corn, oven-dried tomato, mascarpone and corn jus. It’s available by special until mid-May, and will then move to the regular menu. Herbie’s co-owner Aaron Teitelbaum says it pairs well with a 2012 Chateau LaRoque Pic Saint-Loup Rosé from France. Vina Nadoz Wine Bar & Cafe, 16 The Boulevard, 726-0400, vinonadozwinebar. For spring, executive chef Chris DiMercurio has gone all out with his scallop crudo, which features fennel, avocado, grapes, kumquats, Thai chili oil and a rice wine vinaigrette to top it all off and tie it all together. He recommends trying this tasty seasonal dish with the 2009 E. Guigal Cotes Du Rhone Blanc, a big, bold white with notes of green plum and a tangy finish.

continued from page 18 the volunteers showed as they were interacting with the residents was absolutely amazing to watch.” Red Cross volunteers, who have 40 hours of emergency training, are ready to rescue those in a crisis 24/7, 365 days a year, Erickson notes. The team also responds to large-scale national disasters, such as recent Super Storm Sandy. Seventy volunteers dropped what they were doing and drove or flew to the East Coast to help, Erickson says. “They stop their lives to go and help others, and it’s an honor to work with people who have such a deep humanitarian spirit.” Additionally in 2012, Red Cross trained some 90,000 people in lifesaving CPR and automated external defibrillators, water safety or babysitting. Staff and volunteers also executed more than 3,000 emergency communications—such as the birth of a child or the death of a loved one—between service members in the field and family at home. And the organization continues to supply almost 50 percent of the nation’s blood—locally collecting more than 200,000 units each year. “We want to inspire others to get involved—give blood, get trained in CPR, donate and volunteer,” Erickson emphasizes. “You never know when you can use lifesaving skills.”

he says. “You end up with this unappealing look, with your eye bounding all over the place. There’s no continuity to it. You’re better off creating a plan or getting somebody to help you make a plan. Once you have that, you make a list of plants you’ll need and go to the garden center and buy that.” Whatever the size of the gardening project you take on this spring, the most important thing is that it reflects your family’s needs and personality. “It’s like designing the inside of your house,” Graeler says. “Some people like the old, worn, weathered look, others like a more formal style. Your garden is the same: It needs to fit your personality and style.”
