CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE

SOCIETY I’M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT WE HAVE SELECTED OUR 15 Ladue News Charity Awards finalists for 2013. With a few dozen organizations up for review, the selection process is never an easy one. But this year, we had the valuable assistance of members of The Press Club of Metropolitan St. Louis’ board of directors, who acted as an advisory panel for selecting the Final 15. This year, our finalists represent the entire scope of St. Louis’ big-heartedness, including a group assisting immigrant and refugee women, as well as a place that opens its doors to the area’s most severely disabled children and adults. We also will highlight an organization that is considered a cornerstone of wolf preservation in the country, a ‘project’ that uses music to heal survivors of sexual violence, and a center that is all about giving disadvantaged teens the support they need to thrive. We look forward to sharing the stories behind these deserving organizations. Stay tuned, you’ll be reading more about their work in the coming weeks.

21 DESIGN BY NANCY ROBINSON This summer, think of your backyard as the next decorating frontier. Use designer-quality furniture, rugs, lighting and charming decorative accents for stunning results. We present some great new products to create your own wonderful outdoor room for summer 2013.

LN TRAVEL: SEATTLE With tongue in cheek, Washingtonians will tell you that summer in Seattle begins on the fifth of July and lasts three days. With all the marvelous things to do in Seattle, there’s no way one can jam it all into a ‘threeday summer.’ We’d love to return any time of the year!

PROM PICS Unpin that boutonniere and slip off the corsage—prom season has come and gone. We asked for an inside peek, and it looks like these lovely ladies and dapper gentleman had a ball!

OPEN YOUR HEART FOR THE HOMELESS

BY BRYAN SCHRAIER

ATEWAY 180’S OPEN YOUR Heart for the Homeless celebration helps fund the organization, which provides emergency shelter to 135 women and children in St. Louis every day. In 2012 alone, Gateway 180 was able to provide shelter to 1,427 individuals and place 350 people into stable, reliable housing. A special treat was the entertainment, featuring Tandava Tribal Belly Dancers and then a performance by the group Farshid Etniko, playing world music and Latin Jazz. Missouri attorney general Chris Koster was among the evening’s special guests. More photos on page 72

Jilly’s takes the cake…again! In a Food Network Cupcake Wars episode that debuted last weekend, chef CASEY SHILLER of Jilly’s Café and Cupcake Bar wowed with cupcake creations such as the Cuban Coffee (coffee chip cake filled with toffee dulce de leche and topped with espresso swirl buttercream, café con leche crunch and a sweet Cuban coffee syrup pipette), described as “a perfect cupcake” by one of the judges. The Miami South Beach Wine and Food Festival-themed Jilly’s Casey Shiller with the winning cupcake episode is Shiller’s second win on Cupcake Wars, and his third overall appearance on the show, alongside his assistant, Jilly’s executive chef DANA HOLLAND. Shiller tells LN that while the show’s time constraints never get easier, knowing where the ovens are, how they bake and getting used to the cameras as a repeat contestant are a definite plus. “When Dana and I walked into the room, we felt comfortable from minute one.”

It’s been announced that the FOX THEATRE will undergo a massive ceiling restoration—the biggest undertaking since its original 1981 restoration overseen by MARY STRAUSS. This means that entire auditorium will be scaffolded from floor to ceiling to allow for a complete cleaning, touch-up painting and fabric repair. The theater will be closed to performances following the run of Anything Goes (which ends June 9), and will reopen in early September to kick off its 31st Broadway Season.

Here’s a party to smile about: BJC HOSPICE is looking for volunteers ages 9 to 15 to get together for a ‘card-making’ party to help bring smiles to patients with terminal illness. Parties are offered on Saturdays (June 1, 15 and 29; July 13 and 27; and Aug. 3 and 10) from 10 a.m. to noon at the BJC Home Care Services building at 1935 Beltway Drive. Volunteers need to bring a pair of scissors, all other card-making supplies will be provided. Preregistration is required by emailing marsha.shanker@sbcglobal.net.

LIV ING ARCA

A Family Process

BY BRITTANY NAY

“ADDICTION AFFECTS THE WHOLE FAMILY, SO THE ENTIRE FAMILY HAS TO BE INVOLVED IN THE RECOVERY PROCESS.”

non-addictive medication with psychiatric and behavioral therapies, the program is changing lives at home, says ARCA’s Suneal Menzies. “Patients and families have to get well together in their natural environment where they work and live, so they can learn to deal with the stressors and struggles that lead to addiction.” Locally and nationally, alcoholism is a major issue among professionals, while heroin addiction is a growing epidemic for young adults. ARCA specializes in the treatment of both addictions. In fact, most of the centers’ outpatient population is made up of professionals. “Many professionals don’t seek treatment because of confidentiality issues. We can provide anonymous outpatient treatment for them on evenings and weekends, so there is minimal disruption to their work and family life,” Menzies explains. And for those seeking inpatient treatment, ARCA recently opened a 25-bed residential center.

Percy, Judy and Suneal Menzies

Thirteen years ago, the Menzies family started ARCA, which now has four St. Louis-area clinics to help other families battling addiction. Percy, who worked for the company that developed the most effective medications to treat opiod and alcohol addiction, leads the center as president, while his wife, Judy, works as a nurse, and son, Suneal, serves as program director. “Addiction affects the whole family, so the entire family has to be involved in the recovery process,” Percy says.

by Shirley Ballantine, age 90

hen I moved to St. Louis three years ago to be closer to my daughter, Laura Miller, she said she had a surprise for me.

Look, I just celebrated my 90th birthday. I don't have a lot of time to waste on things that don't work.

Did she want to join my bridge group? Had she gotten me the latest John Verdon mystery?

But my daughter persisted. She, after all, is the nurse who, with her husband, introduced this safe, medically based approach to fitness to St. Louis 10 years ago.

No. Laura wanted me to go with her to train at a place called 20 Minutes to Fitness. All it would require, she promised, was one 20-minute workout, once a week. A 20-minute workout? I wondered. What kind of results could I possibly expect in just 20 minutes a week?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

My independence is important to me; I've seen too many of my friends lose it.

It would be good for me, she promised. I would work out on special physical therapy equipment. A trainer would coach me the entire time, tailoring the workout to my needs. The muscle strength I would build, she said, would allow me to remain in my condo, rather than move into assisted living or a nursing home. Suddenly, Laura had my attention. My independence is important to me; I've seen too many of my friends lose it. Laura explained why. After age 30, you see, most people lose eight to 10 pounds of muscle a decade. By the time they reach my age, well, you do the math. There's not much muscle left, unless you do something to maintain it. Still, I wasn't sure. Not only does Laura train here, but so does my granddaughter, Alexa, a former collegiate swimmer who is now a busy executive and entrepreneur. With their demanding work and travel schedules, the two of them need a workout like this that they can fit into their active lives. One other thing: both Laura and Alexa are in terrific shape. How could I possibly keep up with them? Not by sitting around in an assisted living center, that's for sure! That's why, for the last three years, I've been spending 20 minutes each Tuesday morning at 20 Minutes to Fitness. It helps keep me young. Strength-wise, Laura and Alexa may be miles ahead of me. But I dare you to find many 90-year-old women who can leg press as much as I do. My bridge game isn't bad, either.

How Investment Behavior Has Changed

Five Years Later By Julia Christensen

fter the initial veil of financial hysteria lifted, the economic chaos of 2008—and the proceeding years of fiscal turmoil—made a little more sense. The economy was seen through a new perspective, and things have surely changed, but the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ seem as blurred as the crisis did at its start. What are we doing financially, and is it the best way to approach investing? Area professionals, as well as the results of a recent survey, weigh in on what we should do to prosper from here. Broadly speaking, people are improving their ways. Fifty-six percent of investors have switched from “scared to prepared” after the initial economic downturn, according to the new Fidelity Five Years Later study conducted by Fidelity Investments. This reported preparation includes improvements like reducing debt and increasing retirement and emergency savings. The study answers other questions, including where investors look for assistance and which group(s) participants blame for the downturn. Tied for the top answer, 38 percent of respondents blame “bankers

and lenders,” while “people [who] borrowed more than they could afford” are accused by an equal number. “When you look at what’s happening, I find that a lot of clients feel much more accountable for their situation,” says Sean McClanahan, senior branch manager and VP of Fidelity Investments (Ladue branch). These self-accountable customers include existing clients, as well as new clients suddenly motivated by the nervousness of the market. That accountability also is represented throughout the study results, with almost six in 10 people saying they are exclusively accountable for their retirement. Of the original “scared to prepared” 56 percent, 78 percent say this new investment involvement is permanent behavior. McClanahan agrees, saying it’s what he has seen in St. Louis. “I don’t see people going back to the old ways,” he says. These results give the impression that we, as investors, have learned something from this financial turmoil—but what? McClanahan ranks listening as one of the largest improvements.

Glenn Boland

“Diversification is huge,” he says of portfolios. “People listen to that a little bit more [now]. They don’t concentrate their portfolio nearly as much as they may have before.” McClanahan notes the decision to hire a financial professional or manage investments personally should depend on an individual’s time and knowledge. From his experience, he says many customers speak with financial professionals about investments to make sure nothing is overlooked, or because they’d like to pass the Continued on page 71

Tips on Charitable Giving

Maximize Your

Impact

By Brittany Nay

reating good by giving back is a gift to yourself, local financial advisers say. But before making a major donation to support your favorite cause, heed the following pieces of advice to avoid scams, maximize that gift and leave a lasting legacy of philanthropy.

Debra Light, Moneta Group â&#x20AC;˘ CHOOSE WISELY. Charitable giving creates amazing and exponential benefits. By sharing your time, talent and wealth, you have an opportunity to instill in your children a broader view of the world and a sense of moral responsibility, selflessness and empathy. Select a charity whose mission resonates with you and your family, and research the percentage of your gift that actually reaches the intended recipients via the Better Business Bureau, Wise Giving Alliance or charitynavigator.org. â&#x20AC;˘ COMPARE METHODS. There are many ways to make a charitable gift: a direct donation, a donor-advised fund, a private foundation gift or the establishment of a charitable trust. Deciding which is right for you is an important decision you can tailor to your individual goals, tax situation and resources. A qualified financial adviser can help you identify which method is best for you as part of your overall financial plan. â&#x20AC;˘ CONSIDER GOALS. Think about your charitable goals and the scope of your plan. By identifying these, you can determine whether you intend for your gift to extend beyond your lifetime. If you want your children to partner with you now and carry on your charitable legacy, make those wishes clear. â&#x20AC;˘ GROUP EFFORT. Understand the rules and involve others. Creating a personal giving council, either informally or formally, is an option you may use to involve others. Select professional advisersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;tax, financial and legalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who can understand your charitable pursuits, assure you are in compliance with current regulations, maximize your opportunities and efficiencies, and achieve your philanthropic goals. â&#x20AC;˘ SHARED VISION. Define your purpose and share the message. Include your family in your philanthropic visionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;consider a holiday event or a family retreat to have rich multi-generational conversations about the charitable legacy you want your family to leave behind.

Select a charity whose mission resonates with you and your family.

Maurice Quiroga, PNC Bank â&#x20AC;˘ TRUSTWORTHY TEAM. Partner with your trust company, financial advisers and estate planning attorneys to confirm the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legitimacy and ensure you receive the proper tax refund. â&#x20AC;˘ AVOIDING SCAMS. Beware of organizations that claim to have religious or charitable ties trying to take advantage of generosity,

particularly with seniors. Before donating, use guidestar.org to give yourself an overview of the organization’s mission, board members and financials. • RESEARCH RESOURCES. Ensure the nonprofit has the board and resources to handle the type of donation you would like to offer. An outright gift that is one or more times the charity’s budget can create tension among the board because of potential disagreements on how the funds should be used. One solution to this issue is creating a charitable trust that gives annual dollars to the nonprofit, preserving their work for years to come. • STRAIGHT TALK. Donors should talk to the charity about their goals and ultimate wishes to ensure it will align with the family’s legacy. • MAKING A DIFFERENCE. Philanthropy can leave a lasting legacy for not only the charity, but your family. There are so many giving multigenerational families that have made St. Louis a better place. It becomes a win-win for the community and the family.

Donors should talk to the charity about their goals and ultimate wishes to ensure it will align with the family’s legacy.

Scott Meyer, M & I Bank • REFLECT PASSIONS. Identify charities that reflect the important influences in your life, such as schools attended, community ties or health concerns that impact family and friends. • CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES. Give careful consideration to donating appreciated property rather than cash. There are significant benefits to donating appreciated property, and charities are typically receptive to a wide range of donations. • LEAVE A LEGACY. Consider gifting that involves your family in philanthropy. This may include a program of lifetime giving or setting aside money to carry on a charitable legacy. • CHOOSE THE RIGHT TIME. The tools used for your gifts and timing of your donations should depend upon your interests and priorities, current need for funds, your values and any tax concerns. • DO YOUR HOMEWORK. For a guide to giving, refer to Giving With Confidence: A Guide to Savvy Philanthropy by Colburn Wilbur and Fred Setterberg.

Liv ing Warm-Weather Injuries Dr. Scott Kaar, an orthopedic surgeon on staff at SSM St. Mary’s Health Center in the SLUCare Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic, agrees, noting that amateur athletes who are inspired by the advent of spring should take it easy at first. “Warm up before working out,” he advises. “Don’t go from no exercise to a high level without allowing your body to get used to the increased exercise loads. For example, slowly increase running distances over days or a few weeks.” Although there is no scientific proof that preexercise stretching will prevent injury, flexibility is probably beneficial, the physicians say. Kaar recommends carefully incorporating stretches into a warm-up routine instead of attempting to stretch before muscles have the benefit of increased blood flow from some initial activity. “For example, standing still and reaching to touch your toes (a static stretch) would be less helpful and can even cause microdamage to muscles and tendons,” Kaar says. “Instead, dy n a m i c s t re tc h e s where the body is in motion or even warming up to an activity such as walking before jogging allows the body to not only g ra d u a l ly i n c rea se f l ex i b i l i ty, i t a l s o allows muscle groups to counter each other and prevent injury.” Dynamic stretching may include walking, lunges, jumping jacks or other movement-based stretches. The other important thing to remember before bounding outdoors, tennis racquet in-hand, is that your body needs a little time to readjust to intense activity if you’ve been less active through the winter months. “It’s important to start slowly when you’re getting back into exercise,” Mitchell advises. “I tell my patients who haven’t exercised in the last few months, Your brain may remember what it’s like to exercise, but your body doesn’t. Most injuries come from trying to do too much too soon.” Even if you follow the advice to warm up and go slow as you re-enter the world of summer sports, injuries can happen. Fortunately, most are not serious and the damage can be reversed. “Any pain beyond mild soreness is a sign of injury that shouldn’t be ignored,” Mitchell says. “When that happens, you have to break out the RICE—rest, ice, compression, elevation—and take some ibuprofen or naproxen for a few days. Focus on stretching and core-strength exercises during your down time. If the pain hasn’t resolved after two weeks, it’s time to see a sports physician.” With a little precaution and common sense, you can enjoy the benefits of warm-weather activity sans injury. Kaar reminds patients that exercise is important for both physical and mental health. “Just don’t overdo it too soon without being smart about it.”

would be patellofemoral syndrome, also known as ‘runner’s knee,’ which is an overuse injury of the knee; followed by Achilles tendonitis and ankle sprains; and then probably rotator cuff strains from throwing those baseballs and footballs that were in the closet all winter,” says Dr. Will Mitchell, a SLUCare family and sports medicine physician.

HEALTH & WELLNESS FOOT HEALTH

Feet Don’t Fail Me Now

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

F YOU THINK OF THE BODY AS A STRUCture, the feet are the foundation on which everything else rests. Pounds of force are placed upon the feet with every step we take. The delicate bones, tendons and tissues usually bear this load cheerfully enough, but the condition of your feet can provide clues to overall health and affect the condition of the rest of the musculoskeletal system. “Biomechanically, pathology of the foot, such as over-pronation (an excessive flattening of the foot), may be responsible for a variety of postural symptoms, including foot, ankle, knee, hip and low back pain,” says Dr. David Amarnek, a podiatrist with The Foot and Ankle Center. “It’s not uncommon in runners with knee problems to have foot pathology as a primary cause.” The connection between feet and other joints, such as the knees, has been assumed for years but only recently studied carefully. “This subject is relatively new to podiatry and orthopedics in this country,” says Dr. Michael Horwitz, a podiatrist with Feet for Life Podiatry Centers. “More and

more, people are discovering that over-supportive footwear and orthotics actually are causing more problems than they’re helping. Hence, the minimalist-shoe movement.” In fact, the knee’s relationship to the foot and vice-versa is being recognized as increasingly important. In a small study published in a recent issue of the journal, Arthritis & Rheumatism, special ‘mobility shoes,’ which are flat and flexible, designed to mimic walking barefoot, were shown to benefit people who have arthritis of the knee. Researchers suggest that wearing the shoes for at least six hours per day may help arthritis patients adapt their gait and reduce the force placed on the knees, although they note that further study is needed to replicate the initial findings. Horwitz adds that the potential disorders, physical conditions and musculoskeletal problems tied directly to the feet are “too many to count.” Diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease and high blood pressure all have symptoms related to the Continued on page 71

Liv ing Flea Prevention

Protect Your Pets

By Lisa Watson

tching and scratching are bad enough. But did you know that fleas—those pesky critters that can drive your pets crazy and infest your whole home—also can lead to tape worms or carry diseases like bartonella (catscratch fever) and even the plague? “You can find fleas in the best neighborhoods—they don’t discriminate,” says Dr. Travis Arndt, interim medical director at the Humane Society of Missouri’s Animal Medical Center of Mid-America. And the past year has been unusually bad because of a succession of mild winters, adds Dr. Stacey Wallach of Town & Country Veterinary Hospital. Given that a single female flea can produce thousands of eggs in her life cycle, “it gets out of hand excessively fast. Prevention is so much cheaper than treatment. Do not skimp on your products—it will hurt you in the long run.” There are many preventive products on the market—including collars, pills and topical treatments—but not all are created equal, experts note. Arndt regularly recommends Frontline Plus, which both slows the development of fleas and kills adults on pets, but adds that any product is only effective if it’s used properly. “The three big issues I see with people using a product and still having a flea problem are not using the product regularly, not using it year-round, and not treating every pet in the household.” He adds that most monthly topical products reside in the oil glands in the skin, and it takes three months of regular use for the treatment to reach its maximum effectiveness. “If you don’t treat on a consistent basis, you never achieve that place, which puts your pet at risk.” Jan Mound, a stylist at Kennelwood Pet Resorts,

$25 Off first exam

notes that while fleas are a problem in the spring and summer, the height of the season actually is late fall. “A lot of people use topicals until the first freeze and then they say, I don’t need to use it any longer,” she says. “We start seeing a lot of activity in the late fall, when it starts to cool off.” Another key point is that flea prevention is not a one-size-fits-all medication. Wallach notes that certain breeds are sensitive to particular products—cats in particular are sensitive to permethrin, which is used in many dog flea prevention products. “The box has an X with a sign that says ‘No Cats,’ but many people don’t realize they shouldn’t even be putting it on their dog if they have a cat,” she notes. Permethrin can cause convulsions and even can be fatal for cats. Arndt adds that if you think your cat has been exposed, the best thing to do is bathe them using Dawn dish soap to remove the oils from the product, and call your veterinarian. There also are organic options for pet owners who are wary of using chemicals or pesticides on their pets, Mound says. One such product is diatomaceous, a powder made from the fossilized remains of freshwater organisms. On a microscopic level, the particles are jagged like glass, so if a flea comes into contact with it, the exoskeleton will be destroyed and the flea dies, she notes. Many people are hesitant to ask their vet about flea prevention if they’re not planning

to buy the product in the office, but Arndt says that’s a mistake. “We’re here to help pets live better lives and enjoy their lives even more. We can be a valuable resource.”

Stemming the Tide What to do if your pet is infested with fleas: • First, kill the adult fleas already on your pet. Many vets and groomers offer Capstar, an oral tablet that does just that in 30 minutes to a couple of hours, Mound notes. At Kennelwood, a stylist would follow up with a flea shampoo and a Healthy Skin & Coat treatment. Capstar runs through your pet’s system within 24 hours, she notes, so it’s vital to follow up with your vet for a long-term treatment. • Only the adult fleas live on pets (about 5 percent of what’s in the environment), Arndt notes. The rest live in the environment, so vacuum any carpeted surfaces in your home. Also wash any bedding (both the pet’s bed and your family’s bedding) that the pet has come into contact with, then run it through the dryer. • Fleas thrive in dark and shady areas, Wallach says, which are often the same areas where pets like to sit on hot summer days. Spray all of these areas in your yard with a pet-safe pesticide.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HOUSE BENEFIT

How to Make Old Flatware Meaningful

THE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HOUSE IN EBSWORTH Park will celebrate what would have been the architect’s 146th birthday with a benefit party on Sunday, June 2, from 2 — 5 p.m. at the future National Building Arts Center, located just five minutes from downtown St. Louis in Sauget, Ill. The theme of the party, Remarkable Reminders: Architectural Fragments, is the perfect fit for the event site, which houses the largest collection of architectural artifacts in the country. In addition to savoring elegant party fare and enjoying spirited early jazz and swing music performed by Miss Jubilee and the Humdingers, guests will be able to view the restoration in progress of the former Sterling Steel Casting Foundry, the home of the future National Building Arts Center. The St. Louis Building Arts Foundation is restoring the 13-building facility for use as a museum and research facility. On display during the event is the vast array of architectural artifacts that director Larry Giles has salvaged for more than 40 years. The collections include more than 300,000 beautiful building fragments – ornamental brick, terracotta, metalwork, stone, hardware and more – salvaged from St. Louis landmarks and from buildings around the country. The Remarkable Reminders benefit will raise funds for projects and programs of The Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ebsworth Park, the nonprofit organization that maintains the house located at 120 N. Ballas Road in Kirkwood. To reserve a spot at the celebration, call 822-8359 or visit ebsworthpark.org.

If you’re a crafter, jewelry-maker and other artsy type whose mantra is “do it yourself,” or if you simply like to collect vintage flatware salvaged from local thrift stores, you may be interested in the new handstamping trend. It’s a simple and inexpensive way to turn old knives, forks and spoons into personalized gifts and place settings by adding initials or a special phrase. All you need is some plain, old silverware, a hammer, permanent marker, 000 steel wool, a bench block and steel alphabet stamps (the latter two items available at beaducation.com.) Set the bench block on a sturdy surface, hold the stamp firmly, hit the end with the hammer to create an impression, and continue until you’ve spelled the desired word or phrase. Use the non-toxic marker to completely color over stamped words. Polish the silverware with steel wool and wash with soap and water before use. Voila! You have created your very own personalized flatware!

TIPS TO MAKE YOUR BACKYARD LOOK BETTER THAN EVER IT’S THAT GLORIOUS TIME OF YEAR WHEN nature bursts forth and St. Louisans head outdoors for pursuit of pleasure. After you’ve cleaned out the flower beds, clipped, trimmed and mulched your way to beauty, consider implementing one or more of these tips to make your backyard a standout this summer: • Stain your fence a stylish color. How many more decaying wooden privacy fences must we endure before someone comes up with a new idea besides white vinyl? Why not stain those wood fences a fashionable color? Our current favorite: Cabot’s Slate, which hovers somewhere between navy and black, and was found everywhere in the outdoor section of Maison & Objet, the biannual home furnishings

show in Paris. If your unfinished wood fence has been in place for a while, clean it thoroughly with a pressure washer before applying the stain. • Think Williamsburg. While you’re fixing up the fence, why not cap the posts with a wood plinth and colonial ball finial? They’re both available in the lumber section at Lowe’s and Home Depot. So easy and so decorative! • Plant an all-white garden. While a multicolored garden is a beautiful sight to behold, many backyards benefit from the focus and definition that comes from a single color theme. Those in the know swear by an all-white garden. White flowers seem to glow at night, look especially refreshing when summer is at its zenith, and are a fabulous foil for a slate-gray fence. Our favorite easy-to-grow plants

with white blooms: impatiens, viburnum, Knock Out® roses, and oak leaf hydrangea. • Show a sense of humor. We love classic Four Seasons statuary and other stately accents, but also appreciate a little humor now and then, especially where it’s least expected. What about some black sheep grazing about your lawn, a crowing concrete rooster, or a big metal bug sculpture crawling up a tree? Sometimes, it’s the element of surprise that creates winning backyard decor. • Create ambience with light. In addition to electric or gas lanterns, try white incandescent Christmas lights during the summer months. String them on a small ornamental tree, wrap them around the railing of a deck, or place them inside a lantern for a warm, festive glow.

GATHER ‘ROUND THE NEW COMMUNITY WINE TABLE AT CIELO

Community Table, a roughhewn work of art by St. Louis designer Kevin King. The table is made from rafters which were salvaged from the Old Missionary Baptist Church located on Vandeventer Avenue. Wine racks are crafted from the salvaged window frames of the 150-old-church, which was destroyed by a New Year’s tornado on Dec. 31, 2010. “It took 12 employees to carry the 1,000-pound-table up to the restaurant,” Pechlof explains. “A carpenter worked over a full week to polish and finish the table. It’s a masterpiece with a unique character. We loved the combination of being an international hotel merging with the local community and a piece of St. Louis history in our contemporary facilities.”

Adding technology — and style — to the bedroom

A Modern Master Suite

hen it comes to adding technology to your home, the bedroom might not be the first place you would consider. But the reality is that high tech is becoming an integral part of every living space — including the bedroom. “High-tech is here to stay,” said Emily Henderson, HGTV Design Star winner and designer on Secrets from a Stylist on HGTV. “Technology can make your life easier in so many ways. And with so much activity centered in the master suite, it makes sense to add useful tech devices into that living space, too.” Here are a few of Henderson’s favorite ways to modernize the master bedroom in style:

Henderson says that today’s adjustable base beds are not only more functional than old models, but they’re more attractive, too. “You can find a style to fit your room and a model that offers the level of technology that you’re comfortable with,” she says. Motorized window treatment control “It’s such a luxury to be able to lie in bed and use a remote to open your curtains or shades in the morning,” Henderson says. “I think it officially means you are a grown up, but in a good way.” Henderson recommends that you get shades or curtains that have blackout lining, and ideally two settings — one for privacy and light control, which would be lighter and thinner, and one with the blackout lining for that perfect dark room that you can sleep in. Blackout curtains also muffle outside noise. “I’m a big fan of The Shade Store motorized window treatments, which are all custom made. They are super high quality so less likely to break down and are still very attractive.”

Bed control “It shouldn’t take a lot of work to get comfortable enough to relax,” Henderson says. “Traditional beds only have one position, and that’s not going to be a good fit for everyone or every activity. One product I love is Leggett & Platt’s adjustable bed bases. With a wireless remote, I can easily change my position to be comfortable no matter what I’m doing.”

Remote control TV mount “Wall mounting your TV isn’t anything new, but being able to lie in bed and control the exact placement (right, left, tilt up, tilt down) is a total luxury,” Henderson notes. “Many companies are starting to do this so you don’t have to have the TV across from your bed, instead you can put it on a side wall and have the long extendable arm bring the TV to you — by remote.” Make sure that your wall mount is compatible with your television. —Check the weight rating on the mounts and brackets to make sure they can support your TV. —Some mounts have different shapes to fit different screen sizes. Check the specification on the packaging to be sure. Hide ugly cables with a cord concealer. You can find low-profile paintable flat screen cord cover kits at your local home improvement stores. Paint them to match your wall and they’ll blend right in. —Courtesy of Family Features

SUMMERLESS IN

SEATTLE Story and photos by Judy Crowell

ith tongue in cheek, Washingtonians will tell you that summer in Seattle begins on the fifth of July and lasts three days. We arrived on the fifth to glorious sunshine and highs in the 80s, and departed on the ninth of July, leaving on another 16-hour, blue-sky, sunshiny day. Downtown Seattle’s Inn at the Market, an oasis tucked away like a speakeasy mere steps away from Pike Place Market (the ‘soul’ of Seattle), afforded us great views, friendly service and tranquility when we needed respite from the unbelievable array of fresh produce, dazzling flowers, handmade chocolates, fishmongers, glass-blowers and fortunetellers, to name just a few of the lurking wonders. On and on, the cacophonous sounds and sights go. Do not miss them. Our first day began with a 40-minute drive north to Everett to the awe-inspiring Boeing plant, where they assemble 747s, 767s, 777s and the new 787 Dreamliner. By volume the largest building in the world, it is so vast that when it first opened, clouds formed on the ceiling, creating rain. Overhead fans now control this, so weather forecasts no longer are necessary inside the building. Thirty-thousand people working in three shifts around the clock were a sight to see.

DIV ER SIONS Continued from page 62 We then headed to the iconic Space Needle, which was celebrating its 50th birthday. With good intentions to go to the top of the 605-foot tower, we discovered a 1 ½-hour wait and, much to the relief of my acrophobia, skipped the ride. Next door was the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibition—perhaps the artist’s finest to date—with riotous, otherworldly colors and shapes. No one will ever go hungry in Seattle. The Market alone offers every kind of delicacy imaginable. A few favorites here are Place Pigalle for a lovely dinner with a view, Matt’s in the Market, Café Campagne, Chez Shea, Etta’s and Steelhead Diner. Outside the Market area, there’s El Gaucho for steak; Wild Ginger for Pan-Asian; Monsoon for Vietnamese; Shuckers in the Fairmont for marvelous seafood; and our very favorite, Cascina Spinasse for incredible Italian—reservations here a must. As vibrant as Seattle days are, after-dark activities are equally as spirited with untold clubs and bars ranging from the Old World elegance of Oliver’s Lounge to great jazz at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley and all sorts of dives in-between. Undo all the nighttime damage with a morning visit to the original Starbucks at 1912 Pike St., Seattle’s main claim to fame. Surrounded by water and mountains, there’s

TRAVEL plenty to challenge the most energetic: hiking to the surging 268-foot waterfall at Snoqualmie Falls, climbing along the glacier routes of Mount Rainier, kayaking or sailing on Puget Sound, or riding a zipline through emerald green forests. If you need gear for these outings, stop by REI—not your average shopping-mall REI—but this one is right smack in the heart of the city, and will greet you with a miniature Northwest trail, complete with pine trees, ferns and a waterfall. Also worth seeing: Fishermen’s Terminal; the 1914 Smith Tower; a Seattle Underground Tour promising “dirt, corruption, sewers and scandal;” the Chittenden Locks; and, for the lighthearted, the Pinball Museum. For more serious museumgoers, there’s the Henry Art Gallery, one of the Northwest’s leading museums of modern and contemporary art; the Museum of Glass; and the EMP (Experience Music Project) Museum, where American popular music is showcased. With all the marvelous things to do in Seattle, there’s no way one can jam it all into a ‘three-day summer.’ We’d love to return any time of the year, stroll into Bella Umbrella (one of the only stores in the world selling absolutely nothing but umbrellas), and select one of the brightest, most ostentatious umbrellas we can find. We’d then walk out into a legendary Seattle rain—the reason for all that’s lush and green and wet and gorgeous in Seattle.

Help ‘Fore’ Kids BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

IT LOOKS LIKE BLUE SKIES AND GREEN FAIRWAYS FOR THIS ORGANIZATION’S FUTURE.

PHOTOS BY BRYAN SCHRAIER

HOUGH GOLF IS OFTEN THOUGHT OF AS a game for the privileged, PGA REACH flips that generalization on its head. By utilizing the resources and recognition that come with a group as prominent as the PGA, PGA REACH is able to serve underprivileged youth by working to increase their academic—and ‘Beyond 18’ life—success. The philanthropic organization will now be implemented in cities hosting future PGA Championships—and it all started in St. Louis. Founded by members of the PGA Gateway Foundation and Bellerive Country Club in the fall of 2011, PGA REACH is focused on extending the impact—or REACH, if you will—of area organizations. “Our first decision had to be Do we start a new 501©(3) kind of organization? or Do we try to find organizations in town that are doing a great job and need more help?” says PGA REACH committee chair Ed Glotzbach. With a focus on “keeping kids in school,” the

organization partners with established area groups to further their impact, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater St. Louis and Urban K-Life. “One of the big problems with St. Louis is how you keep kids in school, and it really wasn’t more complicated than that,” says Glotzbach. Measurable goals of the organization focus on topics such as classroom attendance and the dropout rate. Progress thus far includes assisting Urban K-Life in finding the resources to hire an additional relationship manager, as well as two sessions of the PGA Sports Academy in participation with the Boys and Girls Club. “It’s progressed beyond my initial hopes,” says Glotzbach. PGA REACH also is helping to fund the development of a health care communication system for Big Brothers Big Sisters to bring attention to treatable medical issues that impact school attendance, such as head lice or asthma.

Financial backing stems from multiple sources, including the upcoming Memorial Day ‘Play it Like the Pros’ charitable golf event designed as a replica of the Senior PGA Championship. Bellerive Country Club also has promised 10 percent of proceeds from the two upcoming PGA events—the 2013 Senior Championship and 2018 Championship—to the cause. “There’s tons of excitement about the championships because PGA REACH has now been identified as part of the championships,” says Glotzbach, noting that this is the first time something like this has happened. “St. Louis is really blazing the trail.” Currently on the lips of those involved is the possibility of a future golf site for the youngsters it serves, which has been greeted with praise and offers of assistance. With the rapid success PGA REACH has achieved thus far, it looks like blue skies and green fairways for this organization’s future.

LN COOKS

Missouri Morels BY JOHN JOHNSON

Q: Chef, do you have a favorite mushroom? I have tried to eat mushrooms—they smell wonderful, but I just can’t past their ‘slimy’ texture. Do you have any suggestions? A: Button mushrooms, the common mushroom you find at the grocery store, really are not the best ones to start with. Flavor is lacking, and the texture can be—if not cooked properly—wet and slimy. Here in Missouri, you are lucky to have one of the most sought-after mushrooms in the world. The Missouri morel only appears four to five weeks a year in the spring. Finding this elusive delicacy is like catching a phantom. They are mainly secretly picked by ‘mushroom hunters’ throughout the state. This year, the season started a few weeks ago and the cooler climate seems to be doing well for them. I have picked a few early in the season, and decided to add sautéed mushrooms to my pasta and red sauce, replacing meatballs for morels. The best way to sauté mushrooms is in a hot pan with a little garlic. Allow the mushrooms to release their moisture. As you sauté, you will notice water coming out of the mushrooms. This is where many people make the mistake of not cooking their mushrooms long enough. Pulling them now will give them that slimy texture that most people don’t like. Keep sautéing until the mushrooms soak the liquid back up, and watch how they start to brown and caramelize. Right before you pull them off, finish them with a little soft butter and salt and pepper. As an extra bonus, I make my Italian sausage recipe and stuff the morels with the sausage before cooking.

Italian Sausage-Stuffed Morel Mushrooms

Directions:

7 lb. pork shoulder

1/8 T crushed red pepper

2 ¼ t salt

2 ¼ t fennel seed

¾ t black pepper

1 T fresh basil, chopped

3 ¾ t garlic powder

1 T fresh oregano, chopped

1/8 t coriander

2 T water

1/8 T caraway seeds

3 dozen morel mushrooms

You can cut and grind your own pork (or ask your butcher), but don’t trim any fat from the shoulder. Blend all ingredients together with the ground pork, and let rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Stuff morels with sausage. Saute mushrooms as directed above.

STORY

HIGHLIGHTS

PHOTO COURTESY OF TODD STUDIOS

Maple and Vine not only harkens back to a bygone era in its plot, but taps into a deep reservoir of art that has previously mined this field for a mother lode of gems. Director Doug Finlayson and his clever HotCity cast offer a smart and sobering assessment of Thomas Wolfe’s admonition that you can’t go home again, especially when you were never there to start. At the core of Maple and Vine, though, is the unhappiness of its central character, Katha, and the ends to which she is willing to journey to find that elusive feeling. Shanara Gabrielle convinces us why an intelligent, modern career woman such as Katha would be willing to subjugate herself in the pursuit of happiness; while Michelle Hand turns in a remarkably nuanced character portrayal of Ellen, the dimple-cheeked, happy homemaker to Dean. Chad Morris is the measure of ’50s success as the genial, upbeat Dean, who most definitely is too good to be true. Alan David satisfactorily conveys Ryu as a man who defers to his wife in modern times, as well as in their not-so-brave new world. Editor’s Note: Entertainment editor Debbie Baldwin is on vacation.

Farotto’s Italian Restaurant

BY MATT SORRELL

Cini is now open in Ladue’s Colonial Marketplace. The ‘fast-casual’ Italian restaurant concept was created by DAVID JONES and DOUG TIEBER, along with FRANK and CARMELO GABRIELE of Il Bel Lago. Short for ‘arancinis,’ the name comes from a traditional Italian street food made with rice and vegetables, which will be handmade daily. Also open at Colonial Marketplace is The Original Pancake House, known for its mouth-watering breakfast treats. You’ll now find Gringo, the latest venture from the folks who brought us Pi Pizzeria, at 398 N. Euclid Ave. in the CWE. The “modern Mexican food with a twist” also includes a line of custom beers created by Schlafly. The Libertine will officially debut on Tuesday, May 14, at 7927 Forsyth Blvd. in Clayton. The “re-imagined neighborhood eatery,” will feature food from popular local chef JOSH GALLIANO. Hours will be Tuesday through Thursday, and Sundays from 5 to 10 p.m.; and Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to midnight. For details, visit libertinestl.com. Balaban’s Wine Cellar & Tapas Bar in Chesterfield has announced it’s bringing back Sunday brunch service from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., starting with Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12. Look for buffet selections, as well as a special weekly brunch menu. Prasino has opened at 1520 S. Fifth Street in St. Charles. The eco-friendly eatery features sustainable fare from local and responsible regional and national purveyors, and a beverage program full of quality beers, wines and seasonal cocktails. The second annual St. Louis Food Media Forum has been slated for Saturday, Aug. 10-11 at the Culinary Institute of St. Louis. There also will be a keynote address on Aug. 9 at the Schlaffly Tap Room by AKI KAMOZAWA and H. ALEXANDER TALBOT, authors of Ideas In Food: Great Recipes And Why They Work. More info and ticket costs can be found online at foodmediaforum.com.

AROTTO’S ITALIAN Restaurant has long provided a little bit of The Hill in the county; and at one time, this neighborhood favorite was one of our go-to places for comfort-food takeout. A recent trip back after a long absence was a reminder of just why we used to keep their number at the ready. Farotto’s has been around since the mid-1950s, and since then, has had numerous expansions of the original Rock Hill location. A second restaurant was opened in Chesterfield a while back to take care of fans farther west. As the facilities have grown, so has Farotto’s fan base. The restaurant has won numerous accolades through the years for its thin-crust St. Louis-style pizza, and its other offerings also have come to be regarded as high-quality versions of Lou favorites. Farotto’s serves up Italian food as seen through the unique lens of St. Louis, and the menu was rife with quality takes on local classics like Toasted Ravioli ($8), homemade and served with a mild red sauce; and Cheese Garlic Bread ($5), crusty and topped with copious amounts of provel. The Italian House Salad ($4) was the epitome of the St. Louis Italian salad: iceberg lettuce and curls of provel dressed with a tart vinaigrette. As it had been a while, we made up for lost time by making short work of each. Pizza was the obvious choice for the main course, but looking through the menu, it became obvious that there was much more to the Farotto’s experience than just quality pies. The pasta list, for example, had a multitude of offerings that we’d never even bothered to explore on past visits. This oversight was duly rectified with an order of Shrimp Diablo ($15) and Cannelloni ($11). The portion of shrimp pasta that arrived at the table was easily big enough for two. Picture a handful of enormous jumbo shrimp afloat in a sea of buttery spaghetti and marinara sauce. As the name implies, the dish had some heat, but it was a mild burn that only hit the palette on the back end. The cannelloni, two tender hand-rolled tubes of

pasta stuffed with meat, set on a bed of red sauce and topped with white sauce and provel, also was a healthy portion of deliciousness. The sweet red sauce and the creamy white played quite well together. To cap things off, some Spumone ($4) and the ubiquitous Canoli ($5) provided some needed sweetness. There are some in the foodie community who might express disdain for Farotto’s workmanlike bill of fare. Those who are looking for culinary complexity and cutting-edge cuisine will definitely not find what they’re looking for here. But those seeking out simple, solid St. Louis favorites made with quality ingredients and served up in a warm neighborhood atmosphere (or for pick-up) need look no farther.

ARCA continued from page 18 ARCA, the patient, as well as their family, are provided with an orientation about the science behind the disease: what addiction is, how it affects the brain and why relapses occur, he continues. Then treatment is offered on an immediate basis. “And families are closely involved with the recovery of the patients.” ARCA’s treatment—psychiatry and counseling, along with medication—is the key to recovery, Percy says. “Addiction is a medical disease like diabetes or hypertension,” he explains. “Yet less than 10 percent of addiction patients are ever offered anti-craving medications as part of treatment.” The centers’ goal is to change the addiction treatment community’s bias against using medicine as part of the recovery process. In the program’s second component—counseling—ARCA staff strives to understand ea c h i n d iv i d u a l ’s story to uncover what led them to drug use. “Patients say: we’re treated like people here,” Suneal notes. And the Menzies family want people to know there is treatment and hope for overcoming addiction. Suneal adds, “People really can go on to live a healthy, normal life.”

ARCA’s treatment— psychiatry and counseling, along with medication— is the key to recovery.

How Investment Behavior Has Changed continued from page 26 i n ve s t m e n t re i g n s ove r to re m ove t h e responsibility. “Within a period of market volatility, the professional helps take the emotion out of investing,” says Jeff Burgess, senior VP for Commerce Brokerage Services. This emotion refers to the panic-stricken desire to sell everything when the market sinks to avoid losing money. This hasty liquidation can be an amateur mistake, as a professional in that situation may have known better whether an investor should adjust the plan or stay the course, according to Burgess. Burgess explains that, despite misconceptions, the domestic market is up more than 130 percent since April of 2009—and those who liquidated in fear missed out on the possible rewards. “Within a period of market volatility, especially as we’ve seen, the professional help takes the emotion out of investing. The average investor who attempts to do this themselves experiences the urge to buy when they should not be buying, and the urge to sell when they should not be selling.” Debbie Maret, a Stone Carlie investment advisor representative, expresses similar concerns for future financial decision-makers. “What I hope people have learned from this is to stay disciplined. The behavioral part of finance is the hardest,” Maret says. “Our clients were worried, but by staying disciplined and staying invested, they were able to realize this ‘up’ market. We all have to remind ourselves what finance is about: buy low, sell high.”

Foot Health continued from page 43 condition of the feet. Pain, numbness, swelling and skin ulcers are clues to some of these systemic problems. “In diabetics or those with peripheral vascular disease, infections or ulcerations of the foot may progress into more systemic manifestations, such as bacteria in the blood, ascending infections beyond the foot, etc., which may require hospitalization,” Amarnek notes. Symptoms of poor circulation in the feet and legs—which may indicate high blood pressure or peripheral artery disease—include leg or foot cramps, particularly during exercise, skin ulcers that do not readily heal, swelling and changes in skin color. “Even neuropathy is treated today with more attention on existing flow and function,” Horwitz says. “I believe that preservation of blood flow and nerve function is best done with touch therapies and footwear choices.” Podiatrists can assess foot health and help you choose appropriate footwear or orthotics to ensure that your feet will serve as a firm foundation for years to come. Take care of your feet, and they’ll help take care of you.

“Even neuropathy is treated today with more attention on existing flow and function.”
