CONTENTS SOCIETY Reprinted from July 7, 2012 WHAT CAUSES HAPPINESS? THAT WAS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION my mother asked me the other day. Well, I wanted to say, at least a million dollars. But she already had an answer—and mine wasn’t even close. My mom is a lifelong chemical engineer. She’s brilliant. Apparently, her employers must think so, too. After years of cultivating a consistently high retention rate among her staff, she’s been asked to do a large-group presentation abo ut what makes employees happy. Ever the formulaic mind, she was able to dig up the so-called ‘happiness equation’ developed by American psychologist Martin Seligman. It suggests that happiness equals: genetics (50 percent), circumstance (10 percent) and choice (40 percent). Mom drew my attention to what stood out for her: Voluntary control (choice) makes up a good chunk of the equation. So, she says, you may not be able to control your genes, but there is a lot you can do about what life has dealt you (circumstance). It made sense. The happiest people I know have endured some pretty bad times. Yet, through the choices they’ve made, they’ve been able to—cue Mr. Mercer— accentuate the positive. As usual, Mom was right. May eternal happiness be yours, Mom.

John Johnson I am most excited about being asked to participate in at Baconfest this summer. Last year, we made a 48-foot, 505-pound bacon-wrapped sausage and smoked it at the festival. This year, we will attempt to double the size. All the proceeds are going to the USO of Missouri.
Nancy Robinson I hope to travel to a coastal area this summer, and spend some time near the ocean. That is my idea of heaven on earth!

WERE YOU THERE WHEN ... BY BLAISE HART-SCHMIDT
More than 1,200 walkers, volunteers and vendors hit the pavement at Saint Louis University as part of The Kidney Walk, hosted by the National Kidney Foundation. The event raised awareness and funds for lifesaving programs that educate and support patients and those at risk for kidney disease. In addition to hip-hop and Zumba warm-ups to get the blood flowing, participants enjoyed myriad activities and a program featuring stories of patients and their families affected by kidney disease. Surpassing the organization’s goal, the walk raised $152,000.

Massage therapy students at Missouri College celebrated the end of tax season by giving more than 100 free 15-minute massages. The college invited neighboring BJC Healthcare employees and other businesses to make the season a little less taxing with the stress-relieving massages. The event, in its fifth year, encourages students to give back to the community through service-learning.
Siblings Sophia and Jack Saleeby both won their school spelling bees and went on to compete in the the St. Louis Post Dispatch Regional Spelling Bee. Jack, 6, attends Immacolata School, and was the youngest semi-finalist in the bee’s history. Sophia, 8, attends the Program for Exceptionally Gifted Students at Concord Elementary School. She made the ninth round of the bee’s finals, in which she was the youngest finalist ever. She tied for third place.

The Ties that Bind Us

l m o s t ev e ryo n e i s impacted at some point in their life by cancer—either personally, or through a friend or family member. “There’s a tie that people have when they have survived something like that,” says Cheri Fromm, co-chair of this year’s Sing for Siteman event. “They see everyone as a part of their sisterhood or brotherhood.” In Sing for Siteman’s fifth year, the annual concert already has created another unique bond to add to that kinship, says event co-chair Kim Eberlein. “The people who come once realize that they don’t want to miss it again. Hearing music in this setting together—when everyone’s singing for this purpose—creates another tie that you wouldn’t have otherwise. The music affects everybody.” This year, Sing for Siteman will bring together eight Opera Theatre of Saint Louis artists with accompaniment by acclaimed pianist and event founder Carol Wong, raising funds for the Director’s Discovery Fund at Siteman Cancer Center. Wong created the event in honor of her parents, who both battled cancer. “It amazes me—every year, it’s a different cast of singers who are in St. Louis to perform; and every year, they so much want to do this,” Eberlein says. “They feel so strongly that— wh i l e t h ey m ay not be able to give $10,000—they can do this to support cancer research. It’s incredible that they’re motivated to do this in a city where they’re simply passing through to sing a role.” This year’s event will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, June 9, at the new Performing Arts Center at John Burroughs School. The participating artists have graced the stages of The Metropolitan Opera, the English National Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago, among others, and will be in residence in St. Louis this summer to play principal roles in the 2014 Festival Season at Opera Theatre. They include: Stephanie Blythe, who will portray Gertrude Stein in the world premier of Twenty-Seven; Tobias Greenhalgh, who will portray several characters

in the same opera; René Barbara, Susannah Biller and Patrick Carfizzi, who will perform in The Elixir of Love; Elizabeth Zharoff, who will play Pamina in The Magic Flute; Sean Panikkar, who will play Tamino and is known as one of the three tenors on last season’s America’s Stephanie Blythe Got Talent; and Levi Hernandez, who will also perform in The Magic Flute. Each performer chooses his or her own pieces to perform, which adds to the intimate emotional setting of the event. “I think what’s so lovely is that you get to experience opera singers doing their opera pieces, or cabaret or gospel, or a fun Broadway piece,” Fromm says. “It’s their choice, so they bring a lot of enthusiasm. You don’t have to be an opera expert—it introduces you to opera if you aren’t one. Or if you already know these stars, it’s a great way to see them in their own element—all for a good cause.” After the performance, guests can enjoy a wine and dessert reception, which offers a chance to mingle with the stars. “Because we have such great, generous people who are donating all of this, it means all of the funds we raise go directly
to Siteman,” Fromm notes. “If you talk to Dr. Tim (Eberlein, director of Siteman Cancer Center), it’s amazing how much today’s cancer treatments have advanced in such a short time. Not every patient who has breast cancer, for example, is treated the same way anymore, because not all treatments are necessary for each person. It helps people to survive cancer without so many terrible side effects, because the research has helped determine how to treat individual people best.” And Siteman’s Discovery Fund is able to put funds to immediate use for the most pressing needs—whether it be laboratory research, clinical research or recruitment, Eberlein notes. “I see every day the need for more funding for cancer research, and I see how many people are affected. This is such a unique way to use music to help support research.” Ladue News is a proud media sponsor of Sing for Siteman.

N A RECENT SPRING AFTERNOON AT Parc Provence, a resident was helping arrange flowers from the greenhouse when she had an idea: She would make a beautiful bouquet for her daughter’s visit. This is the type of special experience Parc Provence aims to enjoy with residents every day. “We try to create moments of happiness,” says administrator Tracy Cecil. “We celebrate the residents; we celebrate their life successes; and we celebrate who they are.” The Creve Coeur senior living community certainly has a lot to celebrate. As a provider of memory care, assisted living and skilled nursing services for 10 years, the staff and residents will commemorate that decade-long anniversary throughout the spring and summer. A big bandthemed party recently kicked off the festivities, with more activities for staff, residents and their

families slated for July and August. The work of the community’s caregivers also will be honored, including through an award from the Dementia Care Specialists. With Parc Provence’s dementia programs, staff is able to support residents from early to late stages of the disease. Through its Forget Me Not program, every resident has a profile detailing their background, health and interests so that activities can be catered to their specific preferences, and physical and cognitive levels. “We adapt our programs around their lives,” Cecil notes. “For example, the gardening one resident will do at an early stage of dementia is a different type from what another will do during the late stage. It’s a very individualized-care approach.” Parc Provence also teaches its staff to step into residents’ lives. “Someone with dementia has a strong long-term memory, but it robs them
of their short-term memory; so, often they see themselves as a younger person,” Cecil explains. “If a resident is talking about taking care of their young child, we go down that path with them— we never pull them into our world.” Seniors also can shape their own experience at Parc Provence by choosing among more than 80 daily social, physical and intellectual programs. “We are a person-centered, activity-based Continued on page 69

CYBER CRIME PROTECTION
Fighting Back
F
BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN
ROM THE GROCERY STORE TO THE discount supercenter to the craft store, data breaches and cyber-attacks have become the digital pick-pocketing of the retail scene. What does this mean for the average consumer, and how are financial institutions responding? “Cyber crime is in the news right now—obviously there are some data breaches that have happened over the last year or so—and it hasn’t been as much of a worry for us as it has been for some organizations,” says Carl Bradbury, Commerce Bank director of consumer card products. “My team and I do this for a living, so we’re used to seeing breaches like this and, frankly, fighting back against them.” Robin McMinn, senior regional operations manager at Regions Bank, explains that, “whenever a data breach is announced by a merchant, we place an additional level of monitoring on [cards] that might have been involved so we can scan for use.” Both McMinn and Bradbury explain that their organizations look for patterns—and disruptions from those patterns may raise red flags. For example, if a card-holder has only ever purchased items in Missouri, and the card suddenly pops up in Georgia, this could be a sign of fraudulent activity. Depending on the situation, the cardholder may be alerted or the card declined. In the event that this was done mistakenly—meaning no fraudulent activity was happening with the card—both institutions say a declined card for this reason can be fixed via phone call. Should a fraudulent purchase be made, financial institutions should be alerted immediately. Bradbury notes Commerce’s zero-liability policy, stating it was in place before Visa made that its norm. “If you didn’t authorize the transaction, then we will accept that risk for you; that’s our role as your bank,” Bradbury says. As Regions’ cards are Visas, those customers qualify for the zero-liability protection, as well. In a proactive approach, McMinn explains that Regions works to educate employees—who, in turn, educate customers—about fraud. “Regions—and I’m sure most financial institutions out there— strongly believes in giving [customers] sound advice that will help them avoid the fraud in the first place,” says McMinn. “We try to educate— that’s the main thing; try to avoid it on the front

end—but if there is fraud on the account, the most important thing is to contact your financial institution immediately, because they may be very helpful in shutting it down before it gets out of hand.” For a basic level of self-security, McMinn recommends individuals be careful when giving out personal information; monitor their account statements and credit reports; use a different username and password for online financial institutions than other websites; and opt for paying via debit or credit card, as opposed to electronic check—when possible—while shopping online. Similarly, Bradbury advises individuals to go about their business in a responsible way. He advises neither to give your card or PIN number to anyone, nor to select an obvious PIN number, such as your birthday. In the future, Bradbury says he expects America to move toward chip-embedded credit cards—which he says already are being offered
to Commerce clients who travel abroad—as they utilize a more secure level of encryption than standard cards using a magnetic stripe. “The short story on all that is the chip is like a little computer on your card and it talks to the little computer in the terminal, whereas the magnetic stripe is a bit like a page of text—it doesn’t talk,” Bradbury says. While these added features and bits of advice offer assistance, they don’t answer what financial institutions specifically do to protect customers. For obvious reasons, these details must be kept under lock and key. “I think it would come as a surprise to most [people] to know just how much the bad guys are just like a regular business,” says Bradbury. “Just as we’re constantly developing new products, they’re constantly developing new malware. They’d love to know how my guys defeat them—and I’m not going to tell them.” He adds: “It’s a real cat-and-mouse game, and we’re winning.”

What Ever Happened to Hedge Funds?
F
BY BRITTANY NAY
INANCIAL ADVISers say it’s never safe to hedge your bets on any one investment vehicle. So as you assemble your financial toolbox, t h ey re co m m e n d only certain investors sparingly add hedge funds as a tool to diversify their portfolios. “Hedge funds are not for every investor,” cautions Maurice Quiroga, executive VP and managing director at PNC Wealth Management. “But for ultra-high net-worth individuals, they can lower the risk of your overall portfolio of stocks and bonds.” About 300 hedge funds—privately managed investment vehicles primarily used by institutions and wealthy individuals—emerged in the ’90s, and have seen tremendous growth the past 20 years, skyrocketing to 10,000 in the early 2000s, and now leveling out to about 7,500. According to a hedgecompany.net survey, 81 percent of endowments and foundations plan to use hedge funds this year. But Quiroga points out that institutions are different than individuals when it comes to these investment tools. While local financial firms have seen a recent uptick in hedge fund use among their clients, advisers warn investors that this type of asset is not for everyone. Those best-suited for this investment tool are at a high level of financial sophistication, Quiroga says, with at least $1 million dollars in liquid net-worth beyond their home and a steady annual income of $200,000 to $300,000. Hedge funds are the wrong tool for investors looking to fund a long-term goal, such as college or retirement, he adds. “Rules vary by fund, and sometimes they only can be accessed annually or quarterly; it’s different for every fund.” Quiroga also warns that hedge fund managers can have years of experience—or no experience—and benefit from performance-based fees. “Hedge funds can provide tremendous growth opportunity, but also can offer tremendous risk if not chosen wisely.” Quiroga notes that investors should consider this vehicle under the advice of their investment professional, who can help analyze and determine if the client and his or her family fit the risk profile. Brad Koeneman, a principal at Moneta Group, agrees. He says those looking to add hedge funds to their portfolios should first do their research and find the right resources to guide them through the process. “Don’t do it just because it sounds sophisticated—because really they are complex and they are more expensive,” Koeneman notes. “But we do think they’re a good value, and they are different from what stocks and bonds give you.” At Moneta Group, hedge funds are tools that are used conservatively to diversify the client’s investment toolbox. “Many of our clients are conservative investors,” Koeneman explains. “They already have achieved financial success; and while they want good returns, it’s very important they don’t have a lot of down-side risk. Many times, it’s not what you make, but Continued on page 69

MRI-GUIDED RADIATION THERAPY
Pinpointing the Problem
I
BY CONNIE MITCHELL
N THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER, RADIAtion therapy has long been one of the primary tools used to eradicate tumors. The difficulty lies in sparing healthy tissue near the tumor site. Physicians have been developing increasingly targeted methods for irradiating cancerous cells while avoiding healthy adjacent cells, and Siteman Cancer Center is now using the most advanced method available. “Although research for development of MRI-guided radiation therapy has been ongoing for years, the MRI-guided radiation therapy system implemented at Washington University is the first of its kind, and represents the first time this technology has been translated successfully for clinical practice,” says Dr. Jeffrey Olsen, a radiation oncologist at Siteman. Olsen is referring to a new technique that allows physicians to see the tumor via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the radiation treatment process. Instead of targeting the beam
and hoping the patient remains perfectly still during treatment, the new method gives physicians an ongoing view so they can immediately adjust for even the tiniest motions, keeping the radiation beam trained only on the tumor. “The amount of movement during a treatment varies considerably depending on the specific disease site that is being treated. Abdominal and lung tumors, for example, move a great deal due to breathing motion, up to several centimeters,” Olsen says. Prior to the new technology, physicians administering radiation therapy could increase the overall volume of irradiated tissue in order to account for these small movements or turn the beam on and off throughout the procedure to account for breathing or other small motions. “Since technology has not previously existed to visualize the actual tumor motion during treatment, we have relied on surrogates of breathing motion, such as movement of the abdominal wall, rather
than actual tumor visualization,” Olsen says. “For certain treatments, such as radiation for brain or bone tumors, the degree of motion is much less, Continued on page 69

LATEST IN CANCER PREVENTION
A Multi-Pronged Approach
D
BY CONNIE MITCHELL
ESPITE THE WARNINGS TO EAT right, exercise, stop smoking and wear sunscreen, cancer remains one of the most prevalent and dangerous diseases of modern society. In sifting through all the advice, experts say that just adopting one or two preventive strategies is not enough. “Only taking on one of these recommendations may help, but will not be as useful as taking a more holistic approach to decreasing one’s cancer risk,” says Dr. Mark Varvares, director of Saint Louis University Cancer Center and a SLUCare otolaryngologist. Dr. Shaun Donegan, an oncologist with Mercy Clinic Cancer Care, agrees that the synergistic nature of cancer formation makes it hard to pinpoint a single behavior to adopt or avoid. “Multiple risk factors for the development of cancer have been identified, including tobacco use, obesity, lack of physical activity, diet low in fruits and vegetables, and excessive sun exposure,” he notes. “This illustrates the complexity of cancer, and the interplay of hereditary predisposition and environmental factors.” However, pushed to recommend one most important factor in cancer prevention, both experts agree: smoking cessation. “Historically, tobacco abuse, which has been linked to a multitude of cancers as well as cardiovascular and pulmonary disease, is public enemy number one, and immediate cessation is recommended,” Donegan says. “The other risk factors are likely intertwined, as those with a prudent diet also may be more likely to exercise and be aware of their weight.” Vavrares adds that recommended cancer
screenings—even the unpleasant ones—are key to preventing cancer or catching it early when it is most treatable. He names colonoscopy as the mostavoided screening test. “Breast cancer screening is another evaluation that most women will and do undergo, especially if they have a primary-care physician who reminds them. And even though mildly unpleasant, it’s relatively quick,” he says of mammograms. “The major issue here is access— many may not have a primary-care physician or insurance. But there are mechanisms to make this available to all women. Not so for colonoscopy. There is no free screening program for this, such as
the state’s Show Me Healthy Woman that provides breast cancer screening to uninsured women.” On the other hand, some people heed every piece of advice they read or hear, trying an array of products and strategies that are not proven and may even be potentially harmful. “It seems that we are inundated with various supplements to help with nearly every aspect of our life,” Donegan says. “Unfortunately, nearly every study with supplements has been of no benefit in cancer reduction or even worse, detrimental. Beta-carotene actually Continued on page 69

Tick Tact
S
BY DR. DOUG PERNIKOFF
PRING TIME ENCOURAGES MOST of us to get out and walk the woods. It smells fresh under the influence of spring rains—and, there is the chance you may happen upon those tasty morels. All that pleasure…and then the reality of ticks. Aside from the inconvenience and discomfort of ticks snug deep into our epidermis, they are harbingers of disease most anywhere they thrive. These ‘tick borne diseases’ (TBD) are numerous, afflicting both humans and our pets. In addition to Lyme disease, TBDs include ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and more. Note that it is impossible for us to look at a tick and determine if it is carrying one or more of these disease agents. In fact, it may be two to three weeks after a bite to be able to measure titers—a lab test that measures the antibody level in a blood sample—to verify the presence of any of these
diseases. Most veterinarians use a ‘snap test’ in their office that can give a presumptive diagnosis of heartworm (mosquito-transmitted), ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis and more. Always discuss TBD concerns with your veterinarian, who can best guide you towards diagnosis, management and treatment when needed. Lyme disease is one of the most well-known tick-borne diseases, yet it is not prevalent in Missouri at this time. Humans show a characteristic ‘bull’s-eye’ rash at the bite site, but this is not useful in dogs. Signs of fatigue, reluctance to move, or shifting leg lameness could be seen in afflicted dogs. Canine ehrlichiosis is much more common in our state and throughout the Midwest. Either the brown dog tick or the lone star tick most often are associated with carrying ehrlichia spp. This organism can be very silent for months or years in dogs. It attacks white blood cells and can enter the bone marrow to retard white-cell production. These blood cells are the key to many of our immune system actions, and losing their function thereby retards our immunity and opens the door for Continued on page 69

NCE UPON A TIME…SUZANNE WOODARD was about to embark upon her second career, opening a furniture shop called The Refind Room in Brentwood. “I thought it was the perfect opportunity to have a dog, because since I own the store, he can be with me all the time,” she says. It was 2012, and she had not planned to get her ‘store dog’ until the shop opened, but having started her search several months before the opening, she found Teddy Freddie early, and it was love at first sight. “I was looking for a small dog that was not intimidating, that was sweet and mellow, and not barky or jumpy,” Woodard says. “He was every single one of those things—absolutely perfect.” When the store opened, Teddy knew right away what his job was, and if you visit the store when Suzanne is working, you’re certain to see him: He greets every customer as they come in. A small lhasa-poo (or malti-poo—like many rescue owners, Woodard is not sure which), Teddy has a mellow disposition and is not overbearing in his greeting—acknowledge him or don’t, but he’ll certainly appreciate a pat on the head. “Little kids love him,” Woodard says. “They pick him up and he’ll be dangling from their arms, and he doesn’t care.”

Teddy also has become a store mascot in other ways. “A year or so ago, he ‘photo-bombed’ a picture we took of the store for the website, and we posted it anyway. Now, we sometimes do ‘Where’s Teddy’ and hide him in a room and post the picture online,” Woodard says. And when Teddy has the day off, his greeter duties are taken over by Bandit, a Yorkie owned by one of the store’s employees. On those days, Woodard takes Teddy pretty much everywhere she goes, she says. “He’s used to it, so now if I have to leave him for some reason, he gets upset.” He also gets to spend lots of time with Woodard’s boyfriend, Shawn Lipe, and his son, Noah, who calls Teddy his ‘little brother.’ “We went on vacation last summer, and they were both in the back in their car seats, and it was so cute!” Woodard recalls. Lipe says the dog’s transformation since he came to his new family has been a complete turnaround. “At the shelter, he was barky, but shy. It was like he wanted attention and love,” he says. “Once he had it, he became comfortable and confident. After about a month, he became a greatnatured dog. Now he doesn’t bark—almost ever—and he’s the best dog with children I’ve ever had.” Teddy even has inspired other people to think about ge t t i n g re s c u e d o g s — n o ta b l y Woodard’s own mother and several customers, she says. “My mom realized she wouldn’t have to get a puppy; she could get a dog that was already somewhat trained and housebroken.” So if you find yourself in The Refind Room, make sure you say hi to Teddy!

2014 HOME DÉCOR TRENDS Check out the newest design trends, fresh from designer markets across the country, including High Point Market, the world’s largest to-thetrade home furnishings event. Some of the looks making news are firmly positioned at the top of the trend curve, while others are just starting their ascent. A few, like Art Deco, had their moment at the top years ago, but are making their way back for yet another tour in home décor. Game-Changer If there is a single piece of furniture introduced at the spring High Point Market that epitomizes the new mood in interiors for 2014, it’s the new Jet Set Buffet from Bernhardt Furniture. Definitely not your grandmother’s sideboard, the glamorous design is optimistic, chic and positively exudes joie de vivre. Just imagine how fresh this sideboard would look in a dining room, circa 2014. Simply put, Jet Set and pieces like it are game-changers. Available through Shubert Design Furniture.
Warming Trend It wasn’t long ago that silver held sway in interiors. The cool metal turned up everywhere — on lamps, light fixtures, faucets, furniture and accents. For 2014, however, interiors are definitely heating up. Warm metals have reappeared en masse after a long absence, with brass and burnished gold finishes making design news. A great example of the trend is the Hampton pendant fixture from AERIN, Aerin Lauder’s new brand. The design creates a lit-from-within effect, while the intricate craftsmanship evokes the natural world. Available through your designer.

Luxury Redefined The post-recession concept of luxury is not defined by the old standards of exclusivity or price. Just ask Millennials, who are happy to explain that, for them, true luxury simply is a matter of creating a home that supports their personal concept of living well. It might be as uncomplicated as a fabulously scented candle, or soft, freshly laundered and pressed sheets like these from Matouk. More than ever, it’s quality of lifestyle that dictates our choices in home décor. Available through Sallie Home.
The New Organics Organic motifs and materials remain top choices for interiors, creating a look that feels elegant, modern and natural. From simple raffia, linen and sisal to faux bois, agate, quartz and natural-occurring crystal, designers are imbuing rooms with organic elements that bring even the most high-end luxury space back down to earth. 4 Regina Andrews table lamp with sliced agate inset available through Metro Lighting.
True Blue Associated with loyalty, goodness and truth, blue is a perennial favorite among Americans. Even so, the appearance of blue in interiors has experienced a major resurgence and dominated the interiors business for the past year. While almost all variations of this hue can be found in home decor, navy and indigo are the shades making the most design news. Casual and easygoing, dark blue has replaced black as a base color and is an ideal complement to white, pink and orange. 5 Braxton Culler’s Elliston bed by Libby Langdon, available through Carol House Furniture.
Asian Persuasion Chinoiserie is back; but then we wonder, did it really ever truly go away? This charming style seems to be popping up all over the place—as pattern on wallpaper and fabric and also as a design motif—think pagoda-style lanterns, chairs with Chippendale fretwork, etc. In every case, however, it’s the colorway that makes Chinioisserie feel fresh and modern, as in the case of this crisp teal and white wallcovering and fabric from Thibaut. Thibaut South Sea Collection, available through The Designing Block. Fit for a Raj Speaking of foreign influences, Americans are having a long-lasting love affair with home décor made in India, where crafts are based on centuries-old techniques. From hand-woven and stamped fabrics and rugs to handhammered silver and woodworking, we can’t seem to get enough of the subcontinent’s subtly exotic style. One of our favorite new pieces inspired by the style of India is this four-poster bed recently introduced by interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who also designs fabrics and wall coverings for Schumacher. Available through your designer. Contemporary Glamour Glamour never goes out of style in the interiors industry, especially the Hollywood version. Today’s most daring designers are casting rooms with a look and feel that’s larger than life. Key to the look is dramatic lighting and art, such as the pieces shown here. Hudson Valley Lighting’s Albion fixture, available through Amini’s.
Echoes of Deco Following its premiere at the 1925 International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in Paris, Art Deco became a flourishing global decorative style, epitomizing the modern luxury and glamour of that era. Characterized by lavish ornamentation and bold geometric shapes, Art Deco reflected the rapid industrialization that transformed the cultural landscape following WWI. Circa 2014, Art Deco is once again capturing designers’ imaginations. It isn’t for everyone, but for those who appreciate its idiosyncrasies, Art Deco can put a unique spin on interiors. Troy Conduit light fixture, available through Metro Lighting. Transformative Wallpaper Wallpaper is more popular than ever. But not just any wallpaper. The most sought-after designs aren’t the milk-toast patterns and colors of the past, but statementmaking looks that you simply don’t find everywhere you turn. One of our favorites right now: the Cargo pattern in blue and gray from Andrew Martin International, the UK firm that pushes the boundaries and designs out of the box. Available through your designer. Continued on page 48

BROOK DUBMAN SHOPS THE HIGH POINT MARKET St. Louisans have been hearing all about Carol House president Brook Dubman’s buying trips to Dallas for years. So, what’s new? Well, plenty of things, including the fact that he’s not going to Brook Dubman Dallas anymore. We caught up with Dubman recently to find out what ‘nice things’ he’s bringing back from his (new) favorite market.
What trends did you see at the April 2014 market? The trend overall is warm, cozy, inviting lifestyle furniture that people are comfortable using every day. Furniture isn’t as formal as it once was, and a whole room full of matching pieces is not as popular. Instead, we’re adding an accent piece of furniture with a contrasting distressed finish or hand-painted finish, which makes a room come alive. While classic finishes in casegoods are still available; heavily distressed finishes in various shades, including gray, are very popular.

44TH ANNUAL CWEA HOUSE & GARDEN TOUR IS A MUST-SEE Interior design aficionados, architecture and history buffs, as well as those simply looking for a great way to spend the long Memorial Day weekend will want to put the 2014 Central West End Association House & Garden Tour on their calendars. Slated for May 30 through June 1, the 44th annual CWEA tour will feature five noteworthy homes on Portland Place. It is the first time in a decade that residences on this street have been on the tour. Along with neighboring Westmoreland Place, Portland Place was designed in 1888 by noted St. Louis private place surveyor Julius Pitzman. Special features include a wide boulevard, landscaped median and architecturally significant homes, which made Portland Place a draw for wealthy St. Louisans wanting to escape the noise and pollution of the city’s crowded core. On this self-guided tour, 48

visitors will get a glimpse of what life was like for St. Louisans who lived here during the city’s Gilded Age. The tour kicks off with an opening night preview party on Friday, May 30, from 6 to 9 p.m. The evening will feature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in a Portland Place residence, along with entertainment and an intimate first look at the homes on the tour before it opens to the public the following day. Preview party tickets are available at thecwe. org or by calling 367-2220. The regular tour will be held Saturday, May 31, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, June 1, from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets are $22 in advance, $25 the day of the tour; and are available for purchase at all Pulaski Bank branch offices, Coffee Cartel and Left Bank Books, or online at TheCWE.org, or by calling 367-2220. Ladue News is a proud sponsor of the Central West End Association House & Garden Tour.

How long have you been shopping the High Point Market for Carol House? I’ve been going to market in High Point for quite a few years now. I’d probably still go to Dallas if it wasn’t for the fact that the High Point, N.C., furniture market has become the biggest in the world. I work long days there for a week, twice a year, buying all of our furniture placements for our 3.5-acre showrooms. People say, I bet that’s a heck of a trade show and a big convention center. It’s hard for them to imagine that there are 20 million square feet of factory showrooms and more than 1,000 manufacturers around the world. And it’s only open to the trade two weeks of the year. It’s kind of overwhelming, but it makes for great style and quality choices for various St. Louis tastes.

The appeals saved our clients nearly $50,000 in property taxes". – John Jennings Senior VP, The St. Louis Trust Co
2013 was a reassessment year. St. Louis County properties were reappraised in 2013. This new “appraised” value was used to determine your property taxes for 2013 and will be used again in 2014. Even if the assessor lowered the value, we have found they did not lower the value enough to reflect actual market declines.

A Basque Country
Slice ofHeaven
STORY BY JUDY CROWELL PHOTOS BY KIM BUSCH
La Concha Beach and City Hall
S
an Sebastían, a beach resort located along the Bay of Biscay and bordering the south of France, is an area of north Spain known as The Basque Autonomous Community. In other words, it’s been an age-old struggle for independence from Spain—a conundrum too tangled to even try to relate. What is clear is that this area
of stunning natural beauty has become an acclaimed international destination with major events, including the International Film Festival, the International Jazz Festival and August’s Semana Grande (Big Week). In addition, a spectacular fireworks display and contest is held over the bay each night with parades of giants and big-heads each afternoon.

View from hike along the Way of Saint James
You won’t find many old buildings in San Sebastían. A devastating fire in 1813 destroyed most of the city. In 1845, Queen Isabel II was sent by her doctor to the sea to cure skin problems. The beautiful people and members of the court began to follow; and by 1900, wealthy Spaniards were flocking to this lovely bay and rebuilt city for summer holidays. Soon, Queen Maria Cristina made it her summer residence; and in 1912, a hotel fit for a queen opened, bearing her name. Today, Hotel Maria Cristina, situated in the center of the city, still is fit for a queen with soaring columns, opulent chandeliers and rich silk brocades. Nearby is another queenly hotel option, Villa Soro, a lovely renovated 19th-century villa.
Attractions not to be missed are: the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, built in 1897 in Neo-Gothic style; the modern Kursaal, creatively lit at night; the Miramar Royal Palace; the Aquarium, where you’ll scamper in fear through a glass tunnel with sharks on all sides; San Telmo Museoa, which houses paintings in a former 16th-century monastery; Monte Monte Igueldo and its gorgeous views from the summit; and Monte Urgull, where you can walk to the top and be rewarded with breathtaking views and an up-close look at the imposing 12-meter-high Christ statue dominating the landscape of the bay.

For a more civilized, sit-down experience there’s Arzak, considered one of the top 10 restaurants in the world; Mugaritz, another best in the world; Bar Nestor; and Raviolina, for family dining. After all the pintxos grazing, how about a hike? A glorious half-day hike along the Way of Saint James, over Monte Ulia from San Sebastían to the charming fishing village of Pasaia. Once there, you can cross the picturesque inlet by boat and stop at the seafront Restaurante Txulotxo for grilled fish dishes or a local favorite, Casa Cámara. The golden sands of La Concha, La Zurriola and Ondarreta beaches create a unique promenade, and are enveloped by deep blue seas and lush green mountains. Queens Isabel and Maria discovered a slice of heaven more than a hundred years ago. You will, too.

SO THIS WEEKEND IS MOTHER’S DAY. Personally, I never held much stock in the event. It’s an overly involved brunch, some unwanted picture-taking and a lot of beginner-level pottery. Now, I’m not made of stone: An affectionate handmade card gets me every time, but the rest? Honestly, I would skip the holiday altogether if it meant eliminating the ads, commercials and hype. That being said, I did, purely for curiosity’s sake, browse the interweb to see what was trending for moms. These are the top 10 gifts virtual men have chosen for the moms in their lives: •Lipstick/makeup •Perfume •Gift Card •Sunglasses •Jewelry •Wine/chocolate •Bath products/lotions •Flowers •Tea/Coffee maker •Camera/tablet Almost nothing with a cord, so we’re making progress…however. Don’t buy makeup for another person. Ever. If you buy different makeup than she usually wears, you are saying, You could look better; if you’re refilling her existing supply, you’re unimaginative. Perfume is touchy. Buying mom a bottle of the stuff she already wears is thoughtful, but humdrum. Buying something new is

TANGENTIAL THINKER
monumentally risky, but worse, prompts a lot of questions. Gift card...zzzzzzz, I’m sorry. I must have dropped off there for a minute. Sunglasses are a good choice. Most people have more than one pair, so if they’re not exactly right, they can still work. Also, they are one size fits all, so no issue there. Thumbs up. Same is true for jewelry. Even if it’s hideous, it’s still jewelry. As for wine, I would avoid anything she can throw in her grocery cart while zipping through Schnucks. As for chocolate, no one ever complained about a Teuscher Champagne truffle. Bath products will earn you a tight smile and snippy aloofness for the rest of the day. Flowers are fine. I love getting flowers actually, but put some thought into it. You don’t have to arrange a bouquet, but you also don’t need to clip a fistful of Continued on page 63

THEATER REVIEW BY DEBBIE BALDWIN
Always...Patsy Cline BY MARK BRETZ
THE STORY Louise Seger, a single mother with two young children, becomes an instant fan of rising young country singer Patsy Cline when she hears the latter perform on The Arthur Godfrey Talent Show on CBS in 1957. In 1961, when she learns that Patsy will be performing at Houston’s Esquire Ballroom, she and her boyfriend and boss arrive 90 minutes early for the concert.
The Amazing Spiderman 2 SPIDEY NONSENSE RATING: 6 out of 10
H
THEATRE PHOTO COURTESY OF PETER WOCHNIAK
ONESTLY I DON’T HAVE A LOT TO TELL YOU HERE that you can’t figure out on your own. I will say this, though: The fact that these movies are coming on the heels of the deluge of Marvel superhero movies makes me feel like Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange having to watch all those films with his eyes held open. Thor, Ironman, Captain America, The Avengers all with sequels, prequels, spinoffs and remakes. As Ben Affleck heads off to distant parts to start shooting the latest Batman incarnation—sorry, reimagining—I can only shake my head and sigh. Maybe we need a new superhero, say a studio executive with the ability to spot originality and wit, or maybe a mild-mannered editor with the ability to trim a film down to under two hours. A girl can dream. Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and his arachnoid alter ego are loving life. Peter has Gwen (Emma Stone) and Spiderman happily flies through the city, battling villains and saving the day. As Peter slowly begins to realize that the mysterious corporation Oscorp seems to be connected to nefarious activity, the powerful Electro (Jamie Foxx) appears. Once again, it’s up to Spiderman to save the day. As you would expect, the special effects are phenomenal— this really might be one worth seeming in iMax. Also, as you may not expect, the acting is terrific. The cast is riddled with Oscar winners and nominees and nobody phones it in. As smart and compelling as they try to make the plot, the movie ends up being a jumbled onslaught of characters and conspiracies. I can go on and on, but I think my 15-year-old son’s two-word assessment speaks volumes: It’s OK.
TANGENTIAL THINKER continued from page 62 your neighbor’s hydrangeas. As far as hot beverages go, I don’t care that the millionaire next door makes his own coffee, I’m going to Starbucks. Technology is a winner. It’s not around long enough for someone to be bothered by it and most of the time, it’s pretty nifty. That’s my two cents. Honestly, the best Mother’s Day gift I ever got was when my husband took Cranky, Whiny and Punch away with him for the day, the whole day, as I lounged around my empty house doing absolutely nothing. The one thing a mother almost never has, is time to herself—well, that and the chocolate.
Surprisingly, they find Patsy there alone, checking on details for her upcoming show. Louise introduces herself and Patsy suggests that she join Louise’s group at their table in between performing tunes. At the end of a long evening, Patsy accepts Louise’s invitation to come back to her house, where the two find they have much in common. They developed a friendship that would last until Patsy’s fatal plane crash in 1963. Always…Patsy Cline focuses on Louise’s reminiscences and the unusual bond between the pair.
HIGHLIGHTS Conceived and originally directed by Swindley, Always…Patsy Cline is considered one of the most-produced shows in America and beyond, including the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. STAGES St. Louis opened its 2013 season with the sizzling local debut of performer Jacqueline Petroccia in the title role alongside savvy STAGES veteran Zoe Vonder Haar as Louise. Based on the strength of a string of sold-out performances, STAGES executive director Jack Lane began scouting for another location for a return presentation in 2014. Eventually The Playhouse at Westport Plaza was selected for a two-month engagement that opened April 22 and will run through at least June 22.
COMPANY: STAGES St. Louis RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5. VENUE: The Playhouse at Westport Plaza DATES: Through June 22 TICKETS: $53-$63; contact 821-2407 or stagesstlouis. org More reviews available at laduenews.com
With Vonder Haar reprising her role as the tall-talking Louise, and Petroccia back in fine fettle as the friendly and indomitable song stylist, Always…Patsy Cline is just as much fun the second time around. Accompanied by musical director Lisa Campbell Albert and a ‘live,’ six-piece band portraying Cline’s back-up group, The Bodacious Bobcats, this is a feel-good effort from start to finish. Petroccia displays a clear and powerful voice as well as a marked ability to shape driving, upbeat tunes with gusto or layer a ballad with a soft, velvet sheen. Vonder Haar adds warmth and humor as the adoring fan Louise, even traipsing through the aisles casually bantering with the audience. Hearing Petroccia take command of a roster of plaintive ballads and good-time country tunes, it’s easy to see how Patsy Cline crossed over so successfully onto the pop charts in her singular and tragically short career.

DINING OUT
spicybits BY MATT SORRELL
After a bit of a search, Central Table Food Hall in the CWE finally has a new executive chef: DARNELL DEVINE. A CIA grad, Devine most recently was at the Everglades Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. He replaces chef NICK MARTINKOVIC, who left earlier this year to become exec chef at Blood & Sand. In other CWE chef news, it’s been announced that chef ERIC KELLY has left his position as exec chef at Scape. His former sous chef, JOE EVERETT, has stepped up to fill the position.
A new exhibit detailing the effects of Prohibition has opened at the Missouri History Museum. American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition will run through Aug. 17, and features a wide variety of artifacts and interactive activities. Get all the details at mohistory.org. Some expansions to report: The folks at super-popular donut purveyor Strange Donuts have announced they’ll be opening a second location in Kirkwood to augment their original Maplewood store. The new place will be located at 107 1/2 Argonne Drive and should open sometime mid-summer. Sauce on the Side, which specializes in custom calzones, has announced via Facebook that its second location will be bowing in the next month or so at 7810 Forsyth Blvd. in Clayton. Gamlin Whiskey House just recently opened in the CWE and it’s already growing. The restaurant/whiskey bar has opened up the new Barrel Room in what was formerly Green Bean next door to the main restaurant. The additional space can hold up to 70 guests. Congrats to CARYN DUGAN, aka STLVegGirl. Her new line of vegan food products is now available at Hanneke’s Westwood Catering in Glendale.

Seedz Café
Beyond Garden Variety BY SIDNEY LEWIS
THE DEMUN NEIGHBORHOOD IN CLAYTON IS one of our favorite areas to meander around on a gorgeous spring evening. Plenty of trees and flowers in bloom and a plethora of places to drop in for a drink and a bite. The newest spot to open up in the area is Seedz Cafe, a quality vegetarian/vegan eatery for those who want something light and delicious and plant-based. The space itself is on the small side but comfortable, with plenty of light-thanks to the streetside windows. There even are window seats and pillows for those who want to take in the neighborhood vista while they dine. The food menu at Seedz is small but varied, with something for most any palate. There are creative vegan and vegetarian takes on a variety of cuisine, not just a series of salads or dishes that merely sub tofu for meat. Of course, there are plenty of organic juices and smoothies available, as well. We decided on the Tempeh Reuben ($10), and the Raw Pad Thai ($12) for our repast. Before meat lovers even ask, the answer is no: Tempeh does not taste like pastrami, and this version of the venerable deli favorite is not a direct analogue for it. Had the folks at Seedz tried to replicate a Reuben exactly, it would most probably have been a failure. Rather, they have created an homage that hearkens to the flavors and textures of the original, while having its own distinct personality. The tempeh has the weight of the meat, the sprouted grain wrap it’s encased in has the rough feel of rye bread, and the vegan 1000 Island dressing and
sauerkraut connect all of the disparate elements together. Even if you’ve never had a Reuben before, this is a delicious creation in its own right. It was served up with a side of blue corn chips and some mixed greens, as well. The pad thai is closer to its source dish in flavor, thanks to the familiar peanut sauce and crushed peanuts on top. This variant is based on zucchini noodles, and has basil and garlic aplenty. Sometimes, this dish can be heavy, burdened with oil and consequently muted flavors. But the Seedz version is light, and all of the elements shine through. Oftentimes this dish is served with shrimp or other meat, but we guarantee you won’t miss it. Many of the beverages at Seedz are made onsite, as well, like the house-made lemonade ($3). Most impressive was the in-house beer. During our visit, the beer on hand was a double-hopped pale ale ($8), a delicious malty brew with a nice, hoppy bite. We’re told that the beer changes up with some frequency as the batches are small— another good reason to stop in frequently! For handcrafted fare, the prices at Seedz were quite reasonable, and service was quick and pleasant. Seedz is a great neighborhood place where anyone who enjoys good food—vegan, vegetarian and omnivore alike—can enjoy a quality bite. 6344 South Rosebury Ave., 283-6681, seedzcafe.com.

Lobster Salad
LN COOKS
BY JOHN JOHNSON
Q: I’m looking for something light and elegant to make this Mother’s Day. My family will be celebrating with steaks on the grill, and I want to make something to bring. Do you have any suggestions?
A: What better way to elevate steaks than lobster? I have a great lobster salad recipe that would be refreshing on a hot summer day, and full of flavor to pair with the steaks. This salad would be great in a roll, or as topping a fresh green salad.
INGREDIENTS: 1/4 c mayo 1/4 c creme fraiche 1/4 c celery, minced 1/4 c red onion 1/4 c red pepper 1/2 each lemon zest 1/2 each lemon juice 1/4 t oregano, fresh chopped 1/2 t parsley, chopped 1/8 t garlic, granulated salt & pepper to taste 11 to 12 oz lobster tails Boil: Half lemon from zest 1 c white wine Peppercorn, 6 each Bay leaf 3 garlic clove 1/2 gal water 2 T salt
DIRECTIONS: Bring boil to a slow roll. Place lobster tails in water and cook for 8 minutes. Remove and chill. Remove lobster meat from shell, and chop lobster into small pieces. Add the rest of the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired.

Notes: This recipes will be enough to fill six split-top rolls. If you wish to try before making, feel free to visit Lewy Nine’s Cafe at RiverCity Casino.

program,” Cecil says. Throughout the campus, a bistro, billiards hall, greenhouse, gazebo and activity rooms allow space for enjoying time with fellow residents, family and friends. From music, art and pet therapy to live music, bridge club and special events, residents can interact socially. Physical activities also abound—such as yoga and strengthening exercise classes. And residents even have weekly opportunities to venture off the property by hopping on the community’s bus to area restaurants, such as The Blue Owl in Kimmswick, and live performance venues, including the Fox Theatre. Throughout their daily living experience at Parc Provence, residents come first, Cecil says. “Our activities are in small groups so that each resident receives more individual attention.” And staff members get to know residents— leading to more meaningful conversation, Cecil adds. “A resident may be in a pet therapy class and the activity specialist will talk about the dog the resident had when she was growing up to spark a memory, and she may tell us a fabulous story.” It’s that type of true connection, Cecil says, that really is something to celebrate.
what you don’t lose. These tools fall into the ‘don’t lose’ category.” Moneta Group uses hedge funds to dampen the risk in the client’s portfolio. “For the last five years, stocks have basically gone straight up—by 200 percent—so all that people needed to do was own stocks,” Koeneman says. “But there are blocks of time where stocks don’t do very well; and when those times happen, a hedge fund could be a shock absorber.” The stock market is “already overdue for a correction,” Koeneman continues, “and whenever the inevitable pullback happens, hedge funds can help.” Historically, hedge funds also have risen when bond markets are decreasing in price, he adds. While hedge funds are not ‘homerun tools,’ they often can give investors moderate returns independent of the market’s fluctuations, Koeneman says. “Hedge funds will see returns when the market is more volatile—not when it is good. This is a year when you could get significantly more volatility, and that’s where a tool like a hedge fund could benefit you.” Quiroga agrees, adding that hedge funds do well amid rising interest rates by the Federal Reserve—a time we are heading into now. “One can’t guarantee the performance of a hedge fund; but if history proves itself correct, they could be beneficial in the coming time period.”
with uncertainty on the order of a few millimeters.” Siteman Cancer Center began using the technology, produced by ViewRay Inc., earlier this year. The technology is so new that clinical trials of its efficacy have yet to be published, although most patients receiving the MRI-guided radiation are enrolled in trials that will track treatment outcomes. “As research into MRI-guided radiation therapy continues, we should expect significant advancement of this technology,” Olsen says. “Current research efforts are ongoing to allow adaptation of a patient’s treatment plan based on findings observed on MRI. This would potentially allow re-planning on a routine basis to account for day-to-day variability in patient anatomy. It may become possible to increase the radiation tumor dose, or to reduce the radiation dose to normal tissues in near real-time based on MRI.” Dr. Timothy Eberlein, Siteman Cancer Center director, said in a news release that offering this innovative technology reflects the cancer center’s goal of advancing patient care through clinical research and physician expertise. “We are constantly working to provide the best care possible,” he said. “We do this in many ways, including using innovative technologies that offer better, less toxic treatment options to our patients.”

increases the risk of lung cancer development, and studies with vitamins C and E have been widely disappointing as well. Vitamin D studies have been highly variable in reducing the risk of colon cancer. Selenium and vitamin E failed in prostate cancer reduction, and vitamin E alone increased the risk of developing prostate cancer in the SELECT trial.” So what are we to do? “I think the most important thing Dr. Mark Varvares, is that, although Director of Saint Louis there are some University Cancer Center fa c to rs t h a t can’t be changed, such as your own genetics, you can understand your own inherited risk and act upon it. Pay attention to the recommendations for screening, preventive vaccinations at the right age and healthy lifestyle choices, such as watching your weight, exercise, healthy foods, never or quitting smoking, watching sun exposure, etc.,” Vavares says.
chronic, recurring infections; again, both in animals and humans. As with many of these TBDs, the symptoms are generalized, and may include depression and/or lack of energy, loss of appetite, or lameness/joint pain. Anaplasmosis is yet another TBD of concern in humans and pets. It commonly is transmitted by the deer tick (black-legged tick). Lyme is transmitted by these same tick species, as well. Again, symptoms may be vague and unclear, but often mimic those described above. Another TBD to present is Rocky Mountain spotted fever, also carried by the American dog tick and the lone star tick. This disease can present much more suddenly, with fever, lethargy and appetite loss; and can become a critical problem more quickly. In the case of any of these diseases, if you see changes in your dog’s energy levels, reluctance to move normally, shifting leg lameness, loss of appetite or fever, it’s best to get to the veterinarian to guide you in diagnosis and treatment, as stated above. Clear the brush on your yard margins, check yourselves and your pets regularly, and—when necessary—be sure to have your vet submit blood samples. Finally, there are a score of tick preventive medications offered through your family vet. Take advantage of his/her skills and knowledge in protecting your pet’s wellbeing. Good luck and enjoy a beautiful, green spring time!
“Although there are some factors that can’t be changed... you can understand your own inherited risk and act upon it.
