CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE

SOCIETY SOME OF YOU HAVE NOTICED THAT IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, we’ve debuted a couple of new columns in our Business Connection section: It’s All Relative shines the spotlight on local businesses that have navigated the ebb and flow of running a successful operation, as well as the ups and downs of working with members of one’s own family. This week, columnist Paul Brown chronicles the rise of Orlando’s and the family behind its 45-plus years of making meals and memories.

Another relatively new column, Talking Points, is from local author and presentation coach Fred Miller, whose day job is to help executives and others prepare for their moment behind the podium. Even if you’re a seasoned speaker, there are many ways to ‘up’ your game, so to speak; and with Fred’s help, you’ll have your audience looking forward to the next time your name is on the program.

Our Business Connection section begins on p. 25.

FEATURES

21 IT’S ALL RELATIVE: ORLANDO’S Brothers Mike and Sam Orlando got their start in catering in front of a black-and-white TV. “When we were little kids, we used to roll the silverware up in napkins while sitting on the floor watching TV.” Mike says that’s just how it works when your family is in the catering business.

DINING OUT—FORK & STIX Fork & Stix recently opened its doors on the eastern edge of the U. City Loop just off Delmar Boulevard, and local foodies have been talking and blogging about the place ever since. On a recent visit, LN learned first-hand what all the hype was about.

may 24, 2013

DADS WHO ROCK By day, they may be all business behind an office desk. But by night, they know how to let loose. LN recently caught up with some local working dads who use their garage bands as an after-hours outlet.

It’s All Relative columnist Brown is a lifelong journalist. His Paul Brown Media specializes in public and media relations. “I’ve never worked in a family business, but from talking to people who work in them, I believe one common denominator in a successful operation is that all members of the family have to respect the others’ abilities and talents, and accept and deal with their shortcomings.”

Asked about his holiday weekend wine picks, he says it depends on your dinner menu: “With chicken or pork steaks, whites please your palate or generally light to medium-bodied reds. With burgers or steaks, medium- to full-bodied reds like zinfandel.”

W

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?

“

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.

20 Minutes to Fitness. It works for every generation.

THREE GENERATIONS: ONE WORKOUT From left: Laura Miller, 64; Shirley Ballantine, 90; and Alexa Miller, 38, all stay fit with their once-a-week workout at 20 Minutes to Fitness in Clayton.

For more information on 20 Minutes to Fitness, call its studios in Clayton (314-863-7836), Chesterfield (636-536-1504) or Sarasota, Fla., or visit 20MinutesToFitness.com

Variety the Children’s Charity

DINNER WITH THE STARS

D

BY DIANE ANDERSON

I N N E R W I T H T H E STA RS recently took place at Peabody Opera House. There, guests were greeted with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and a full-course dinner. Then it was off to listen to music legend Carlos Santana and his award-winning band.

Joe Buck served as the evening’s emcee, while Marilyn Fox marked her 16th year as Dinner with the Stars chair. Variety also honored Jim Weddle as 2013 Man of the Year and Noemi Neidorff as 2013 Woman of the Year.

Marilyn and Sam Fox

DIANE’S SCOOP Edwin and Lenore Pepper’s daughter, Karen, was being asked for her hand in marriage at the same time the event was taking place.

The elder Peppers hinted that Bill Jacoby was popping the question in Chicago, where the couple was visiting...Arnold Donald just returned from an exciting trip to the Amazon, where he fished for piranha and spotted baby alligators...

Fox 2’s Mandy Murphey shared that she can’t believe she now has a teenage daughter, who just turned 13. Where did the time go?...Her Fox 2 colleague, Shirley Washington, is bursting with pride over her son earning a University of Chicago scholarship. She is not quite sure how she will adjust to the empty nest syndrome, but is so happy for him...Marilyn Fox and Lenore Pepper have been best friends since the fourth grade!...World-famous designer, Carmen Marc Valvo, was overheard telling Thelma Steward that he is donating his line of eyeglasses to the children who need them for Variety! He continues to give back to Variety in so many ways.

This is WhaT

Heart Disease Looks Like.

I was forty when I had my heart attack, but received wonderful support from St. Luke’s Hospital.

Nine weeks after my heart attack, I ran my first half-marathon.

As I crossed the finish line I started crying and my husband said, “Is there anything wrong?”

I said, “No. I’m alive, I’m happy and I did it.”

Just perfect! Congratulations to two St. Louis-area high school juniors for earning perfect ACT scores: MARY MUNSELL of Cor Jesu Academy and GWYNETH PEARSON of Visitation Academy each received a top composite score of 36— something less than one-tenth of one percent of test-takers nationwide achieve. The national average is a score of 21.1.

Mary—who goes by ‘Molly’— aspires to major in chemical or biomedical engineering and plans to continue on with medical school. She has yet to decide which college to attend.

Molly took part in the Missouri Scholars Academy; and is the recipient of the National Latin Exam’s Summa Cum Laude for the past three years, as well as Cor Jesu’s Harvard Book Award and the Mathematics & Science Award. She also is involved in numerous activities, including cross-country, the Campus Ministry Service Cor Jesu’s Mary Munsell Committee and the Politics Club (a new club that she founded and currently leads). Molly is the daughter of MICHAEL and SHEILA MUNSELL of Ballwin.

Gwyneth, daughter of DR. ANTHONY PEARSON and JEANNE KEMP, both of Chesterfield, is a National Merit Commended Scholar, who also earned a perfect score of 800 on the math portion of the SAT. She was a member of the Viz Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering team, which placed second in its division this year. In the statewide competition, Gwyneth took home first-place honors in biology and second-place honors in math. Additionally, she has played tennis at Visitation’s Gwyneth Pearson Visitation for three years.

She is weighing her college options, and plans on pursuing biomedical engineering, medicine or veterinary medicine.

ELIANCE BANK HAS TURNED OVER A NEW leaf. The personal and business banking institution recently emerged from major losses during the recession to become a profitable player ready to meet the community’s finance service and lending needs. And expansion is even in the works, with a new branch set for the prime intersection of Clayton Road and Lindbergh Boulevard.

Tom Brouster, chairman of the Frontenacbased bank and its holding company Reliance Bancshares, joined as a consultant in early 2012 and led the turnaround—raising $31 million through a capital campaign. The bank is profitable again for the first time in five years, with $1.4 million in the first quarter this year—its total income of 2012.

Further, its $171-million in non-performing loans is down to $18 million.

DADS WHO ROCK

Living the Dream

BY BRITTANY NAY

B

Y DAY, THEY MAY BE ALL BUSINESS behind an office desk. But by night, they know how to let loose. LN recently caught up with some local working dads who use their garage bands as an after-hours outlet.

John Carney As a teenager, KTRS Radio’s John Carney was a fan of Mr. Wizard. Now he’s ‘with the band.’

A percussionist since age 9, Carney has lent his musical talents to dozens of local and regional rock, dance and funk outfits through the years, currently moonlighting with the St. Louis dance music group Mr. Wizard, local jazz artist Jim Cunningham’s funk project and Southern rockers, Heartsfield, of Chicago.

While Carney jokes his ‘rock star window is closed,’ the local radio personality still lives out a musician’s dream with his bands these days on the stages of venues like The Pageant, as well as amid the natural beauty of the region’s wineries.

“I was a percussion major in college, always with the intention of being a music therapist,” Carney recalls. “Then my father, who also was a broadcaster, told me not to go into radio—so that’s when I went right into radio.”

And the music genes just keep flowing through his family, as his 3- and 4-year-old sons, Liam and John James, can typically be found singing, playing toy guitars and even trying to take over dad’s drum kit—at the most inopportune times. “They are always playing my drums—that’s, like, all they want to do,” he says. “I got my first drum kit at 9, so they already have me beat.” Even his 15-yearold, Joerdan, has the music bug—she’s a violinist.

Carney is sure he’ll be sitting in the audience of his own kids’ concerts one day soon—only he hopes they’ll see it as “just a hobby.” But don’t expect him to relinquish the spotlight just yet. “I’ll be the one at the rest home mumbling to myself with a tambourine.”

Dave Schmid Dave Schmid’s daily grind involves business development for a division of Regions Bank. But when the weekend hits, he’s ready to rock.

His band of six years, called Spontaneous Nugent—because one of the member’s is “prone Continued on page 22

Continued from page 21 to playing Ted Nugent spontaneously”—covers ’60s, ’70s and ’80s classic and Southern rock, with a few originals thrown in from time to time for good measure. With a 100-song repertoire, the 13-member group rocks out to the tune of The Who, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Eric Clapton at venues like Sky Lounge in West County and outdoor festivals such as Fair St. Louis, as well as weddings and nonprofit parties.

“We’re just a bunch of guys in their late 40s having fun,” he muses.

The bandmates, who all have full-time jobs and families, get to play out their ‘rock ’n’ roll fantasy,’ while their spouses and kids dance and sing along in the crowd. “They think it’s neat,” says Schmid of his kids’ opinion of Dad’s rock band. And that’s what it’s all about, he says—having fun and grooving to the music.

PHOTOS BY SARAH CROWDER

Roberto Trevino Roberto Trevino might play blues music, but he’s all smiles. That’s because he has married his love of good music and good food. His band, Blues Incorporated, frequently takes the stages at his restaurants, La Cantina in Webster Groves and Amigos in Kirkwood.

In the “old days,” Trevino was a professional musician for a groove band in Daytona Beach, Fla., hanging out on the beach during the day and partying onstage at night. “Then I got married, so I thought I better get a real job,” he says, laughing. But after moving to his wife’s hometown of Webster Groves, Trevino missed music and his uncles’ restaurants. So he found a suitable solution in combining the concepts.

For the past two years, his raspy vocals have led his blues, rock and Motown group as they perform ’50s and ’60s rock from artists such as Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Fats Domino and Otis Redding. “We have a good time, and people seem to like it, so it’s a win-win for both parties,” Trevino says.

The band also takes its shows to the streets, playing outdoor festivals and local clubs. And Trevino’s kids love it. “When we play at the Kirkwood Concert Series, everybody comes down with their lawn chairs for an afternoon of music,” he says. “We kid around when we play. Everyone is just there to have a good time.” Good times, indeed.

Bellerive Gardens

orking in family services at Bellerive Gardens, Jodi Wimmer is used to helping families through a time of grief.

“We want to provide good service and help them find a nice resting place for their loved one in a time of need,” she says. But Wimmer urges families to think about burial plans before there is an immediate need, such as during estate planning. “We’ve had families tell us, I’m so glad my mom and dad picked out their marker. Everything is so nice for the family when they’ve done that—they can grieve without worrying, Did I do the right thing for Mom? Would she have liked that?”

Whether a family visits pre-need or in their time of grief, the process for choosing a final resting place is fairly similar, Wimmer says. “In the initial meeting, I try to focus on what part of the cemetery they would like: Do they want to be near water or a tree, or close to a road; would they like the mausoleum or do they prefer ground burial? Those are things

Weekend event on Saturday, May 25. The grounds will be open with flags available for families to place on graves, as well as services to help families find their markers.

Committed to Your Family

I routinely go through, but everybody is so unique in their decision-making process that I try to tailor myself to whatever their needs are.”

To assist families in making their decision, Wimmer takes them on a tour of the cemetery, discussing what features they might prefer. “After I get a reading on what they want, I look for spots myself that I think would fall under their request, and I flag those areas and take them back out. If those aren’t sufficient, we start over. It can be a oneday process, but I’m working with one family right now who we’ve been helping for two years. We do whatever it takes to make sure they’re happy.”

After taking over Bellerive Gardens in December of 2012, owners Evan Athanas, Harry Freeman and Mike Hopson began a variety of improvements on the 32 acres of grounds. These include upgraded roads, new garden signs, updates to the office, resurfacing of the mausoleum floor, and ongoing work developing a garden for private family estates.

“Families can have mausoleums designed,” Wimmer notes. “We have a wonderful team that does our designing. We start with talking to the family about what they’re interested in—things like how many crypts or niches, do they want a water feature or fountain in front—and have it drawn up for them.

It’s something that can be really nice if you want to have your whole family take part.”

IT’S ALL RELATIVE

From Their Family to Yours

BY PAUL BROWN

B

ROTHERS MIKE AND SAM ORLANDO JR. got their start in the catering business in front of a black-and-white TV. When they would get home from school, old reruns of Gunsmoke and Leave it to Beaver aired on the tube, as they cut their teeth in the food industry. “When we were little kids, we used to roll the silverware up in napkins while sitting on the floor watching TV.” Mike says that’s just how it works when your family is in the catering business. “We took forks and knives and little rubber bands, and stuffed salt-and-pepper packets in— that was our job.”

Orlando’s still is all about family. Eight members of the clan, including mom and dad, still take care of business. As Mike tells it, Sam Orlando Sr. started out running a produce business with his brother. “They opened Sam’s Produce down on produce row,” he says. “My dad enjoyed cooking and entertaining, and he would always cook for his friends at barbeques. At one point, one of his friends told him, Hey you should get into this business.

About a half a century later, the Orlandos are still at it. Sam Sr. and his wife, Jan, are spending more time at home these days, but still take pride in the product. According to Sam Jr., that pride is part of what makes their business click.

“What we accomplish, we accomplish together,” he declares. “Having a family business where all the key employees are family, we all care about what we’re doing and have a vested interest in it.”

Orlando’s has grown to be one of the biggest catering operations in St. Louis, with some 175 full- and part-time people on staff. While catering has always been the mainstay, the company also has four brick-and-mortar locations for events and conferences: the original Orlando’s Gardens in South County, another on Watson Road i n We b s t e r Groves, a newly reopened center in Maryland Heights, and the Lodge at Grant’s Trail. The Lodge also is a nineroom bed-andbreakfast that looks like a huge log cabin built just off Interstate 55 near the start of Grant’s Trail.

Mike says the entire Orlando family spends time at the Lodge during the Christmas holiday, where he admits they do talk shop. But that’s exactly why they call it a family business. “A lot of people can’t work with their family, but we are

"WHAT WE ACCOMPLISH, WE ACCOMPLISH TOGETHER...WE ALL CARE ABOUT WHAT WE’RE DOING AND HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN IT.”

The Orlandos. In back: Michael and Laurie Orlando, Nicol Schmidt, Dan Snyder. In front: Jordan Orlando, Jan and Sam Orlando Sr. Not pictured: Sam Orlando Jr.

very close—we all get along and we know what it takes to run a successful business.”

The Orlando girls went to Notre Dame High School, Mike went to Vianney, and Sam Jr. followed his dad’s footsteps at St. Mary’s. But after high school, Sam Jr. almost took a sidestep around the family business: He went to Saint Louis University, and studied theater and earned a degree in acting. He did some community theater after college, but ultimately decided to leave showbiz—well, almost. “I have to say I use my theatrical experience every day!” Sam chuckles as he says he’s still using those creative energies. “Parties and events are like a theatrical production,” he explains. “It’s a one-night show and you have to bring the wow factor to the event and make it memorable for the people you are doing it for.” And like most performers, that means giving each occasion a little extra pizzazz.

“I like to play with my food. It can be simple

food, but presented in a unique and innovative way—it makes my job fun.” Didn’t your mom tell you not to play with your food? I ask, to which Sam Jr. responds, “If I play with it too much, I will get my hand smacked!”

The Orlandos say they are seeing real growth in the catering business because of an improving economy, more corporate spending on events, and more venues being opened across the area.

But the days of sitting on the family room floor watching reruns while helping Mom and Dad get ready for the next big job are long gone.

They agree the business is far more complex than it was back in those days. But Mike says the one thing that hasn’t changed for the Orlandos is family. “Your family is there to help you. They can slam you, but then they pick you up, and give you a hug and a kiss—all in one motion, and that’s OK because they’re family.” {LadueNews.com} MAY 24, 2013

Some More Nuggets to Lessen The Fear of Public Speaking

May 24, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

Nugget No. 6 The opening should give the audience a ‘roadmap’ of where your presentation will be taking them. This should tell them what the other parts and elements are, and when each will be delivered.

Here’s an example I use in one of my openings: “I’ll be talking about the components, parts and elements of a presentation. I’ll name them, explain them and give examples. Then, we’ll look at bonus tips to take a presentation from Blah to Ah! Next, we’ll examine the fear of public speaking: why we have it, and nuggets to lessen it. I’ve got time set aside for questions. Finally, I’ll close my presentation.”

In those few sentences, the audience knows exactly how the program will continue. Of utmost importance is I told them when I’ll be taking questions. I’ll be asking for them before I close my presentation.

Having people asking questions throughout a presentation is a big problem.

• What do you do if they ask early in your talk about something you’ve scheduled to deliver near the end of your speech?

• Raised hands, trying to get your attention, are a distraction to you and the audience.

• What if you don’t know the answer?

• Time management can be a huge challenge.

• How many times have you been to a presentation where the speaker says something like, “Oops! It appears we’re running late. I’ve got 15 slides more slides to show and only 10 minutes left!”

Nugget No. 7 Constantly take the temperature of your audience. You’re the only one speaking, but the audience is communicating with you with their eye contact, facial expressions, gestures and body language. Many of those nonverbal communication elements are involuntary and carry a message. Believe what you see!

Off-Shore Accounts

Are You in the Right?

D

By Julia Christensen

espite the scandals, stigmas and stereotypes, off-shore bank accounts continue to exist, offering financial benefits to the rich and richer—or that’s the assumption. With new regulations in place, the realm of legitimate off-shore bank accounts is changing to smoke out the tax evaders and force compliance.

“They’re perfectly legal, but they’re often used for illegal purposes,” says William Johnson, associate professor of law at Saint Louis University.

Historically, we’ve had the honor system, and the honor system didn’t work very well.”

With some account holders cheating the IRS, the U.S. government stepped in to enforce the rules everyone should have already been following. “The big thing with off-shore bank accounts is FACTA, and that’s been dominating everyone’s attention,” says Adam Rosenzweig, law professor at Washington University, of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. “Any—of what they define

as a—foreign financial institution that has U.S. depositors is required to [report] certain things.

If they do that, then that’s the end of it. But if they don’t, they impose a huge withholding tax on all payments to the account. That was a major change in the law—a huge, unilateral attempt by the United States to force foreign banks to report to the U.S. for the purposes of U.S. tax compliance.

That had never been done before.”

According to the Treasury Department, FATCA, enacted in 2010, targets “non-compliance by U.S. taxpayers using foreign accounts. FATCA requires foreign financial institutions (FFIs) to report to the IRS information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest.”

The reasons for an off-shore account vary from legitimate personal or business decisions to illegitimate “tax havens,” explains Johnson. A business venturing into a foreign market may want to

Unmarried Parents Face Unique Challenges

For example, let’s say a couple was together for 10 years. For half of that time the father stayed home to raise the children while the mother worked at a highpowered corporate job. If the couple were married, and filed for divorce, the father may be able to receive spousal support since he was financially relying on his wife while raising the kids. Being out of the workforce for some time, it may also be harder to find employment.

But, where it gets complicated is if in the exact same scenario the couple was

Marriage is not necessarily for everyone.

In fact, there are plenty of couples who live together, share living expenses and have children, yet are not legally married. Of course, there is nothing wrong with these arrangements at all. However, when children are involved -- and the parents split up -- it can quickly become complicated.

open a foreign account, or a person who travels for work regularly may prefer an off-shore account for paying foreign bills. While the reasons are possibly endless—and truly irrelevant, as no reason must be given to the government, according to Johnson—it is important to note that, despite easy assumptions, there are understandable, financially intelligent reasons for storing money in a foreign country that are not related to cheating. That being said, it still is clearly motivation for some, hence the need for these new government regulations. “Some people choose to just hide the money—clearly tax evasion,” Rosenzweig says. “The only question is, how do you find it?”

Those with finances to find are not necessarily the richest of the rich. Rosenzweig explains that often the top tier of wealthy Americans enlist the support of quality professionals to avoid these

never married. Alimony will not come into the picture, nor will traditional marital property division. Rather, couples will have to work together in order to come to some sort of agreement, which of course can turn rather contentious rather quickly.

It should be noted this is not to say that property division and other aspects of a split are easier for married couples, it is just that there are certain legal protections afforded to married spouses.

Outside of the financial aspects of breaking up, fathers may also find it more challenging to hold on to their rights as a parent, especially in cases where paternity is yet to be established and their name is not on the birth certificate. In some cases, a mother could use this against the father in terms of

making life decisions for the child without first consulting the father.

Of course though, this is not to say that unmarried parents should just accept their fate. Rather, talk with an attorney in cases where there is a breakup and children are involved. This can help to create or restore parental rights in a way that is fair to both parents and the children.

Experts predict that this season’s real estate market will be a strong one. Not only will prospective buyers have more properties to choose from, but current owners looking to refinance can look forward to higher home values. With interest rates as low as 2.75 percent, now may be the time to make a move.

Your Guide to Colonial Marketplace

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

T

HE COLONIAL MARKETPLACE IN LADUE IS almost complete. With only a small handful of vacancies left and stores opening left and right, this shopping strip is becoming a destination—in fact, so much so we thought you might like a guide book.

When you enter the parking lot, start at the left of the strip for the sake of our tour. There you’ll find SOUTHWESTERN HEARING CENTER—an important stop should hearing-loss issues come up for you or a loved one.

If interiors are your favorite eye candy, step into the new home accessories and furniture store FRILL, which also houses Jon Koch Photography. Offering high-end décor and local art pieces, this shop is sure to help you upgrade your living room or study from so-so to spectacular.

Cini

You’re only a few stores in, so you should probably carb-load unless you’re planning on napping mid-tour. For those wanting to try something new, CINI offers unique lunch options with their Italian rice balls, called arancinis. Full of yummy goodness like cheese and sausage, these little guys are the star at this restaurant and even come in a dessert variety.

Yum! Speaking of yum, say hello to olive oil! This addictive liquid can take meats, veggies and breads from dull to delicious, and EXTRA VIRGIN—our next stop—stocks only the best olives, olive oils and kitchen necessities around.

Family business MARTA’S BOUTIQUE comes next. This 30-plus-year-old shop carries not only clothing, but accessories and shoes, and is made for both casual and elegant evenings. Consider this a great moment for a mid-tour wardrobe change.

Are you squinting at this guide? Let’s make it a little easier. YOU MIGHT NEED GLASSES AND CLARKSON EYECARE CAN HELP. You’re welcome.

Ivy Hill

To keep your outfit as chic as your interiors, the next shop stop is equal parts artistic flair and high fashion. IVY HILL offers clothing, accessories and gifts for the woman who teeters into both style categories.

We’ll assume by this point in the tour you have a new dress or bag, as you’ll want one after shopping at Ivy Hill. You can’t let that showstopper overpower your beauty look! Thankfully, next door to the boutique is DOMINIC MICHAEL SALON, where you can freshen up your look with hair, nail and skin services. Manicure, anyone?

MAY 24, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

Original Pancake House

Now that you’ll be able to read the menu, feel free to head next door. There are no words to do this next breakfast joint justice, but only tastes and closed-eyed smiles while leaning back into a booth with your hands across your stomach. Plain and simple, THE ORIGINAL PANCAKE HOUSE—which features more than breakfast!—is classic food done right. Remember to order with your brain, not just your belly, as the portions are generous. You’ve been warned.

Blown Away Blow Dry Bar

It isn’t unrealistic to say you might ruin your ‘do while trying to finish an entire Dutch Baby at The Original Pancake House—it’s exhausting, but there still is more shopping to do. Thankfully, BLOWN AWAY BLOW DRY BAR is right next door for the after-brunch treat you need: a blow-out. Stop in for hair styling or make-up application, and leave looking more fabulous than ever.

At this point, you might want to take a lap around the parking lot, because we’re about to reach more food—and shopping. Before that jog, stop into DIMVALOO ACTIVE LIVING, the exclusive St. Louis Lorna Jane retailer, to find workout-wear to look your best mid-exercise. Now go work up a sweat, because it’s time for more food.

Local legend THE WOMAN’S EXCHANGE will be opening soon, and according to GM John Mantle guests should look for a few new items on the tea room menu, including the triumphant return of— wait for it—English muffins. These fan favorites have been off the menu for some time but will return soon. If you aren’t hungry, you can still enjoy this not-for-profit’s boutique, which features the famous children’s Cherry Dress and other unique gifts.

Up next is the LADUE NEWS office. Did we mention we live here, too?

Located next on the journey is SPLASH. Featuring swimwear, clothing, accessories and shoes, this shop is sure to get your ready for summer.

Always there when you need it, FEDEX OFFICE caps off the tour. Stop by to ship a package or make copies. In fact, go make a copy of this! And get it laminated! Not every new Colonial Marketplace shop is open yet, but when they are, we’re sure you’ll want your LN guide. Happy exploring!

HEALTH & WELLNESS

ARTHRITIS

Joint Problem

L

ET’S BEGIN WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST myths about arthritis: There are two kinds— osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Wrong!

“Few medical terms are as unfortunate as ‘arthritis.’ The textbook is 2,000 pages long,” says Dr. Francisco Garriga, a rheumatologist on staff at SSM St. Mary’s Health Center. He also was recognized this month as the 2013 Medical Honoree for the Arthritis Foundation’s Arthritis Walk in St. Louis. “The textbook does not go on for 2,000 pages describing only two illnesses—I should be that lucky,” he says.

In fact, “there are actually more than 100 types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout and osteoporosis,” says Karen Shoulders, director of programs for the Arthritis Foundation. “Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent, affecting 27 million Americans; rheumatoid affects 5 million; and more than 300,000 children in the U.S. are affected by juvenile

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

arthritis.”

In all its many forms, arthritis may be painfully obvious or go undiagnosed for years.

“Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid (RA) represent two different types of arthritis,” explains Dr. Akgun Ince, a rheumatologist with Mercy Hospital St Louis. “Inflammatory arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease, and tends to cause more fatigue and prolonged morning stiffness. On the other hand, OA tends to cause joint pain and stiffness, which is more typical at the end of the day, and can increase with prolonged immobility. Both types of arthritis can cause joint pain and swelling, but RA patients tend to have softer swelling and increased warmth in their joints rather than bony swelling, which is typical for an OA patient.”

In addition to joint swelling and pain, arthritis can cause fever, rashes and fatigue. Diagnosis requires a detailed patient history, as well as lab and imaging studies, to determine whether inflammation is present. In the case of rheumatoid

arthritis, which affects the immune system, early diagnosis is especially important in order to begin treatment that can slow progression of the disease.

“The important thing is starting (patients) on medications that modify their disease,” says Dr. Deborah Parks, a rheumatologist with Washington University Physicians. However, she notes that patients diagnosed very early who have no apparent joint damage may be concerned about the potential side-effects of medications. “And yet, the severity of their disease and how much it affects their ability to function makes a difference in which drug we choose.”

LUPUS AWARENESS MONTH

More Hope than Ever

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

Autoimmune disorders are insidious. The body’s own protective mechanism, the immune system, turns on itself, attacking healthy tissue and organs by mistake. Lupus is one autoimmune disease that affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans, according to the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA).

“Lupus is a classic autoimmune disease in that the person makes antibodies to their own cells and this causes an inflammatory process; and as a result, they present with multiple different symptoms,” says Dr. Terry Moore, director of rheumatology at Saint Louis University.

Symptoms vary, but among the more common are painful or swollen joints, fever, fatigue, and a rash across the nose and cheeks. “The textbook presentation of lupus is a woman in her 20s or 30s who develops a rash when exposed to the sun; and inflammation of multiple organ systems, including joints (arthritis), the lining of the heart and lungs, kidneys, lungs and eyes, as well as mouth sores, hair loss, and the destruction of red and white blood cells and platelets,” says Dr. Rand Sommer, a rheumatologist on staff at St. Luke’s Hospital.

“There can be involvement of about every organ.

The disease never follows a textbook course.”

It is not known why women are more likely to develop lupus, although hormonal or genetic aspects may be involved. Diagnosis is based on a careful history and review of symptoms, along with a battery of lab tests that help rule out other types of disorders. In many cases, a lupus diagnosis is made over time, known as ‘a diagnosis of exclusion’—the one disease left to explain the patient’s complaints.

Once diagnosed, physicians can begin developing a treatment plan, which is individualized to the patient. “Depending on which antibodies are present, you know which organ systems are involved,” explains Moore. “We usually do baseline studies on heart, lung and kidney to make sure everything there is stable.”

Moore adds that early diagnosis improves the prognosis. “Twenty years ago, your survival was about 45 percent; and today, we don’t talk about that. We talk about 20-year survivals of 90 to 95 percent because of early diagnosis and aggressive therapy.”

DIVERSIONS

Family-Friendly Rides

BY ROBERT PASTER

Family Cars

P

ARENTS MAKE LOTS OF SACRIFICES FOR their kids: soccer games, dance recitals, braces and the family truckster. Fortunately, family vehicles have progressed a lot since Chevy Chase took his infamous Vacation in a blinged-out Ford station wagon.

Today, family vehicles take on many forms, and one of the most popular is the sport utility vehicle, or SUV. Most modern SUVs are ‘cross-overs,’ or SUV bodies placed on sedan chassis. Still providing seating for five and a cargo area in back, the SUV is the 21st century answer to yesteryear’s station wagon. The good news is, since most manufacturers make them, you can get an SUV as fancy or plain as you like.

Subaru Outback

One of the more popular family SUVs is the Volvo XC60, a mid-sized vehicle with all the comfort, luxury, and especially safety, for which Volvos are known. Since safety usually is a primary concern when choosing a family vehicle, a Volvo makes a lot of sense (I wonder why they never made a minivan).

Volvo XC60

With an unmistakable Volvo front end and grill, and high-mounted rear taillights, the XC60 is not a bad-looking SUV. The Scandinavian interior is clean and functional, with firm, heated front seats.

Room in the heated rear seats is adequate for most adults and those in the cheap seats get their own air vents. Behind the rear seats is a generous cargo area below a power hatch that expands to huge when the 40/20/40 split folding rear seats are folded.

Dual automatic climate control and a huge sunroof ensure passenger comfort. The ubiquitous video screen is touch-screen, so it’s fairly easy to use, and traditional knobs for radio volume and tuning are appreciated.

The XC60 T6 boasts a 3.0 liter, turbocharged 6-cylinder engine good for 300 horsepower that is fed to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Gas mileage is 17 city, 23 highway.

Active safety features include rear park assist, collision warning and pedestrian detection that can automatically apply the brakes if the vehicle senses that it is going to crash into something. Pretty amazing.

Acceleration with the turbo is pretty good, as are the brakes. The handling is good for an SUV; it doesn’t feel too top-heavy, but the power steering is over-boosted. The ride is comfortable and the whole driving experience gives the impression of driving a true premium vehicle, which is nice, considering its mid-range price.

Stephen Lynch, sales manager at Suntrup West County Volvo, brags, “The XC60 has a good, solidbuild quality, with up-to-date electronics, and of course, all the latest safety features.”

The XC60 starts at about $35,000 or $41,000 for the turbocharged model. Fully loaded, prices can creep north of $50,000.

Another interesting family vehicle is the Subaru Outback, which is sort of a station wagon on steroids. It has a station wagon base with slightly raised ride height and plastic cladding to make it look tough.

The Outback is deceiving; from the outside, it looks no bigger than a mid-size sedan, but there’s a ton of room inside. In upper-level trims, the interior is quite nice, with a leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio controls, heated leather seats, dual automatic climate control and a touch-screen for radio display, back-up camera and navigation functions.

Most radio functions use knobs and buttons, which are easy to use. The only miss was the artificial wood trim that looked and felt really fake.

An available safety system senses objects in front of the car and automatically applies the brakes if it thinks you’re about to hit something. It’s a good safety device, but I’m afraid it may make drivers complacent and inattentive. Come on people, put down the cell phones and coffee cups, and pay attention to your driving! Rear-seat room is huge and passengers get their own air vents. It has an unbelievable amount of leg room for a car this size.

Cargo room also is very generous, and becomes cavernous with the rear seats folded.

The Outback offers two engines, a flat fourcylinder and a flat six-cylinder. The 2.5-liter, 173-horsepower four is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that saps power, so power with the four is adequate for most people, but the trade-off is good gas mileage of 24 city, 30 highway. Thankfully, you also can get the four with a 6-speed manual transmission. The 256-horsepower, 3.6-liter, six-cylinder engine is mated to a 5-speed automatic (no manual unfortunately) and has lots of power, which makes the Outback even more fun to drive. Power is transmitted to all four wheels, of course. Gas mileage with the six is 18 city, 25 highway. Because the Outback is shorter than an SUV, and because its boxer engine sits low in the chassis, the center of gravity is fairly low, which means that handling and sportiness are high.

Though no sports car, the Outback is a nice driving car with good handling; good, but slightly mushy brakes; and a comfortable ride.

According to Chris Johnson, sales manager at Lou Fusz Subaru in Creve Coeur, “The Outback is extremely versatile. It rides like a bigger car and offers a choice between the power of the 6-cylinder and economy of the 4-cylinder. Its best features are its engineering, safety features and all-wheel-drive.”

Prices for the 4-cylinder Outback start at about $24,000; for the 6-cylinder, prices start at approximately $30,000.

H E M ET RO P O L I TA N M ATC H P L AY Championship trophy has many familiar names etched on it, including such amateur standouts as Don Bliss, Jim Holtgrieve, Skip Berkmeyer and Justin Bryant.

Now, Garrett Sneed can add his to the trophy that is on display at Old Warson Country Club. Sneed, a junior at McKendree University and a Marquette H.S. grad, won the 18th Metropolitan Match Play Championship, featuring 16 of the area’s top amateurs in the annual event at Old Warson.

Sneed, the No. 10 seed, defeated No. 16 Thomas Wuennenberg 5 and 4 on a soggy day to pick up his first title. Wuennenberg, a Lindbergh graduate, is a senior at the University of Missouri.

“I was just excited to win this,” Sneed says. “There are a lot of nice names on that trophy. It’s an honor to get my name on there. Just being mentioned in the same breath as those guys is an honor to me.”

Sneed adds he hopes it will be the start of a good summer for him. “I am going to play in a bunch of MAGA tournaments. I am going to try to qualify for the U.S. Amateur and play in the Illinois Open and the Metropolitan Open. I’m going to play as much as I can.”

College Golf For the second time in three years, the University of Missouri-St. Louis men’s golf team has earned a spot in the NCAA Division II Championship.

The Tritons recorded a third-place finish at the three-day NCAA Midwest/Central Regional held at Strawberry Creek Country Club in Kenosha, Wis. UMSL advances to the five-day NCAA Championship, which concludes May 24 at the Hershey Country Club in Hershey, Pa. It marks the eighth NCAA Championship appearance for the program. UMSL recorded a 15th place finish in 2011, which also came under the direction of fourth-year head coach Troy Halterman.

In other UMSL news, golf coach Troy Halterman has been selected to coach a USA Athletes International team in the IGI Series in St. Andrews, Scotland. The series will be held in August.

Gateway PGA Mike Suhre earned his first-ever Gateway PGA Match Play Championship title at Annbriar Golf Course.

Suhre, of Oak Brook Golf Club, faced off in his final match against Bob Gaus, a six-time GPGA Match Play Champion and 2013 Senior PGA Championship contestant.

Suhre held on to a 1-up lead going into the 16th hole. It was at the 16th where Gaus, of Tower Tee Golf, missed his first short putt all week. Suhre hit his tee shot on the 3 par 17th to 10 feet. Gaus, needing a birdie and a missed putt by Suhre to stay alive, just missed the green. His next shot would be his last — a hard lip out on a chip he had to make. From

there, Suhre closed things out with a two putt par to win 2 and 1.

Publinx Open The 54th Publinx Open was held recently at Forest Park, which plays to a par 70. Bob Hanneken, a 48-year-old engineer from Fenton, shot a 66 to win the amateur division.

Hanneken beat Ted Moloney (68) and James Trittler (69) for the amateur crown. It was his first Publinx Open championship.

Bob Trittler won the senior division championship with a 71. David Johnson and Phil Cech tied for second among seniors with a 74.

Area PGA golf professionals J.C. Anderson and Mike Suhre shared the professional title. Each shot a 67.

A total of 240 golfers took part in the tournament.

Tournaments We have two very worthy tournaments for your consideration this month: The ninth annual Gen. James T. Conway Golf Outing will be held Aug. 25 at the Country Club of St. Albans. The tournament benefits wounded Marines and their families. The charity golf outing was named for Conway, the retired Marine Corps Commandant General. The shotgun start begins at noon. For more information, contact Reggie Thorpe

at 402-9631 or comsnr@swbell.net.

The Lauren Murphy Charity Golf Tournament will be held July 15 at Whitmoor Country Club. The shotgun start begins at 11 a.m. It is a four-person scramble and costs $100 per person. In April, Murphy, of St. Louis, was running in Los Angeles and was hit by a car. She sustained a head injury and remains in critical care in a Los Angeles hospital.

The tournament is to help Murphy and her family.

DINING OUT

Fork & Stix

Tasty Thai

F

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

ORK & STIX recently opened its doors on the eastern edge of the U. City Loop just off Delmar Boulevard, and local foodies have been talking and blogging about the place ever since. On our visit, we learned first-hand what all the hype was about.

The restaurant differentiates itself from many other nearby Thai eateries in that it focuses primarily on Northern Thai cuisine, which doesn’t heavily feature some of the stereotypical Thai ingredients, like coconut milk, that we’ve become accustomed to here in the States. Also, generally speaking, the food from this area is not supposed to be as spicy as that found in some other parts of the country.

It’s hard for us to indulge in Thai food without getting a bowl of Tum Yum soup ($3), and Fork & Stix had a great version. This traditional hot and sour soup was redolent of lemon grass and lime with tender bits of chicken floating in the mix. Also part of the starting lineup was an order of Thai Stix ($4), crab and cream cheese wrapped in an egg roll wrapper—kind of like a cylindrical crab rangoon—served with a sweet chili sauce for dipping. Portions for both dishes were small, allowing plenty of opportunities for grazing around the menu.

As expected, there were several curry dishes listed, and we opted for the Red Curry ($7), served up with sticky Thai rice, a staple of the northern region of the country. Our server recommended medium heat on this dish, and even though we’d been told Northern Thai is milder than other regional cuisine, this curry had plenty of heat! It also featured a delicious mix of tender bamboo shoots, bits of bell pepper, and yes, a bit of coconut milk to smooth it out.

One dish that caught our eye immediately was the Yakisoba ($7), a Japanese stir-fry specialty featuring thin egg noodles, cabbage, carrots and onions in a savory sauce that’s reminiscent of a thinner, less salty Worcestershire. We chose to add pork, though both chicken and veggie versions also were available. At first, this item seemed to be an oddity; but on reflection, it makes sense to

have this on the menu. While it might not be a traditional Thai dish, it fit in thematically with the rest of the offerings in that it was simple, mild and subtly flavorful. As is common at Thai restaurants, much of the seasoning is up to the diner and there were several sauces on the table to choose from when we wanted to up the spice quotient.

While all this good food made us long to wash it down with a crisp Thai lager, Fork & Stix doesn’t serve alcohol. But there were several Thai beverages available that were delicious and refreshing, like the Cha Manao ($3), a sweetly spiced iced Thai tea flavored with fresh lime juice.

Diners at Fork & Stix who want to stick closer to dishes they’re familiar with will find old favorites like Pad Thai and Papaya Salad available, while the more adventurous eater has a variety of new culinary experiences to explore, and all at really affordable prices—nothing on the menu exceeded the $10 mark before add-ons.

THE WINE LIFE

ROSÉ WINES Tasting Tip: Chill your rosés to correct temperature, about 45°F to 50°F. See if you can find aromas such as melon and strawberries, or plum and currants.

Wine Recommendation: Find your style of rosé quickly by having your wine shop recommend three to four different styles. What you like may be a few different grapes and regions/countries. My favorite style of rosé usually is one with cleaner, fresh aromas, and generally lighter in color. If this is your style, try Azur Rosé or Robert Sinskey Vin Gris.

Pretty in Pink

BY STANLEY BROWN, CS, CSW

DRINK PINK AND SIP INTO THE WORLD OF ROSÉS. “PINK? I DON’T DRINK PINK.” SOUND FAMILIAR? Many people still are apprehensive when it comes to rosé wines. Many so-called ‘serious’ wine-drinkers even consider rosé insipid, but there are many characterful rosés—it just takes a little looking and tasting.

Maybe it is partly a carry-over from the world of blush and white zinfandel, sweeter wines that usually lack depth and complexity. In the ’80s, many Americans cut their teeth on white zinfandel, making it one of the top-selling wines in the U.S. during that decade. Although some wine enthusiasts like to criticize white zinfandel, we should be thankful that this wine helped propel wine appreciation in the American consumer.

With spring finally here and summer just on

MAY 24, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

the cusp of our heels, many good wine shops and restaurants offer a selection of rosé. Rosé sends a unique message to a wine drinker’s palate: It is subtle and flirtatious, and is easily sipped, but can be both complex and refreshing.

Rosé wine truly is diverse and is good to sip on as a cocktail, on the patio or with dinner. But how is rosé made? What grapes are used and how can you tell what you will like?

First, let’s get a glimpse of how rosé is produced: 1) Traditional Skin Contact – A red grape like pinot noir is crushed and pressed; then during maceration, the grapes are only allowed to be in contact with the juice for a short period (‘the must’), to extract the desired color. Remember color comes from the skin, so the longer one leaves

the skins in contact, the darker wine becomes, but also the higher the tannins.

2) Saignée or Bleeding-Off. During the early part of skin and juice contact (maceration), a winemaker can intensify a red wine by bleeding off juice from the skins to produce a separate wine—rosé. What remains is a lesser juice-to-skin ratio and more intensified red wine, commonly done with pinot noir. Vin gris is a similar style, but spends no time for maceration and is pressed right away without leaving the juice in skin contact time. Gris, which means grey, results in a very pale-colored rosé.

3) Blending – Although not used often, this is taking a white wine and adding some red wine for desired color and flavor.

Another benefit of saignée for traditional red wines is—after they bleed off juice—the increased skin (seed and stems) ratio provides more color and tannins, but also more phenolics and antioxidant qualities. This will help stabilize and protect the wine from deteriorating. On the flip side, this means rosés have very little of these qualities. This is why they must be consumed while young, generally within one or two years.

When it comes to production, rosé can be made out of most red grapes. Many different red grapes have their own flavor and characteristics, yielding rosés ranging from very light and subtle flavors to darker and bolder flavors.

As the popularity of rosé has grown, we are seeing rosés from all over the world from all different grapes: tannat rosé from Uruguay, malbec rosé from Argentina, cerasuolo rosato from Italy and garnacha rosado from Spain. The classic style is regarded a Provence-style, dry and pale, from the south of France.

Rosés currently account for about half of wines produced in Provence. They are usually a blend of red grapes from the region: grenache, syrah, cinsault, mourvedre and carignan are the main ones. Just north of Provence, in Rhône, is an appellation called Tavel that produces only rosé. What is interesting with most Tavel producers is they make their rosés by co-fermenting both red and white grape together. Both of these French rosés are nice, clean, elegant wines, subtle and refreshing.

So go ahead, drink pink and sip into the world of rosés. They are pleasant, lovely and perfect sipping for the season. Rosé can be a worthy wine, and sometimes not thinking too hard about it is the best way to enjoy it.

THEATER REVIEW

Shlemiel the First

BY MARK BRETZ

STORY

Shlemiel is a simple beadle (minor official) in the town of Chelm, a “village of fools” located between Everywhere and Elsewhere “a long, long time ago.” Shlemiel is exasperating to his wife, who has tolerated his imperfections for 20 years.

When Gronam Ox, the self-proclaimed wise man of Chelm, decides that his wisdom needs to be known throughout the world, he sends Shlemiel on a mission to spread that message. Shortly after Shlemiel dutifully begins his daunting trek, he comes upon a ‘rascal’ who dupes Shlemiel into heading back home after he rests for the night. Robbed and misdirected, Shlemiel returns to Chelm but is told by Gronam Ox that he is not Shlemiel the First, but a look-alike hereafter known as Shlemiel the Second. Even so, he finds himself attracted to the wife of Shlemiel the First and bonding with that man’s children. Very strange.

own good voice, as well as fine comic flair, as the long-suffering Mrs. Shlemiel; while Taylor Pietz and Mike Dowdy delightfully make for a wide-eyed and hopeful pair of tykes the Shlemiel’s kids.

MUSICAL: Shlemiel the First

Antonio Rodriguez again demonstrates his chameleonic skills, unrecognizable as a wizened, wealthy baron from ‘Creve Coeur,’ as well as the dashing and dapper Rascal; while Anna Skidis and Keith Thompson team with Rodriguez and Dowdy as background villagers who make constant observations about the goings-on both by themselves and with their omnipresent and amusing sock puppets.

GROUP: New Jewish Theatre

For something different and decidedly daffy, check out Shlemiel the First. Even if it drags to its ultimately upbeat conclusion, it’s fun seeing a klezmer musical comedy. How often does that happen?

VENUE: Wool Studio Theatre, JCC, 2 Millstone Campus Drive

HIGHLIGHTS

DATES: May 25, 26, 29, 30; June 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9

Several people were involved in adapting short stories by Polish-American writer Isaac Bashevis Singer, who wrote in Yiddish and drew upon Jewish folk memories and mystical traditions. Many of his stories are set in Chelm, a mythical village of fools whose residents ultimately reveal the truth.

TICKETS: $35-$39; 442-3283 or newjewish theatre.org

Shlemiel the First features a score based on traditional klezmer music and Yiddish theater songs by Netsky of the Klezmer Conservatory Band.

The music is lighthearted and upbeat, if also repetitious and forgettable.

RATING: A 4 on a scale of 1-to-5.

While it’s just 90 minutes with no intermission, Shlemiel still grows wearisome toward the end, even with solid performances and NJT artistic associate Edward Coffield’s steady touch. Terry Meddows demonstrates a pleasing voice, as well as expert comic timing, as the hapless title character—a man filled with wonderment at the smallest details and befuddled by the slightest change in his routine. His performance nicely anchors the presentation.

Editor’s Note: Entertainment editor Debbie Baldwin will resume her columns May 31.

Reliance Bank continued from page 18 and locally run. “We all live close by in the market we serve,” Brouster notes. “We can make all the decisions for customers right here. There is no higher bureaucracy.”

Through the years, the bank has been built on relationships, many made through nonprofit boards the employees serve on, adds Dittrich, who helped lead the bank’s capital campaign.

And Ivie believes that family philosophy will make it the premier community bank in the city, because community banking is a “people business.” “People have a lot of choices of banks in the city, but they want to deal with a bank that knows them,” Brouster says. “We hope they choose us.”

• Nodding heads show agreement. Side-toside head movement doesn’t.

Take their temperature by periodically asking questions such as: • “Does that make sense?”

• “Am I making myself clear?”

After asking, look at them for responses and make adjustments to your presentation, as needed.

Nugget No. 8 Develop your own style! Each of you has a ‘style.’ Continually refine and hone it to be the best it can be. Trying to be someone else can be stressful! Here’s what I mean: The Toastmaster Club I belonged to for years

Lupus Awareness Month continued from page 41 in accordance with the severity of the disease, Sommer explains. “Recently, new biological agents have been approved for a subset of lupus patients. The biologicals are synthesized antibodies that are infused or injected into the patient.”

Alternative and complementary medication that may be helpful in easing symptoms include flaxseed, fish oil, DHEA and vitamin D. Some evidence suggests that acupuncture may help control joint pain, and meditation or biofeedback are useful for stress management. However, the LFA states, “Although we remain hopeful that newer, more effective therapies will be developed, we must be cautious regarding products that have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.”

New treatments are being investigated, and

Off-Shore Accounts continued from page 29 financial scandals, while those in the financial level beneath them may “have enough money to want to shelter it, but not enough to hire the best advisers.” On a similar note, Johnson explains the “threshold for reporting is $10,000,” meaning the government must be made aware even of accounts that would not be considered abnormally large.

“This year, the IRS came out with regulations implementing this, and there are hundreds and hundreds of pages of regulations that people are still just trying to work their way through,” Rosenzweig says. “The IRS is permitted to

had many outstanding speakers who possessed talents beyond the ability to deliver a great speech.

Some could sing or play an instrument. Others danced, while a few could do magic tricks or juggle. Sometimes those talents would be incorporated into their presentations. I couldn’t, and still can’t do any of those things. Each time I tried, the results were terrible.

Other members had delivery styles from always being humorous, to addressing members in a good, professorial manner. Again, my efforts to ‘speak’ as those skilled individuals did failed.

I gotta be me, and you gotta be you! That doesn’t mean we can’t improve. The Japanese have a word, kaizen, which means continual improvement. Practice it.

From the slides of my presentation to the words I speak and the way I deliver them, all are continually being tweaked. I don’t recall who said it, but “the road to perfection never ends!”

Nugget No. 9 Find a Friendly Face. There are people in the audience who love you and your presentation.

Sommer is optimistic. “It’s an exciting time in rheumatology, especially in the field of novel therapeutics in lupus. With a better understanding of the mechanisms of autoimmunity, immune smart bombs, antibodies that interrupt the inflammatory and autoimmune destructive effects, have been discovered.”

For instance, Sommer notes that in 2011, the drug Benlysta was approved for mild to moderate lupus, marking the first time in 56 years that a drug had been approved specifically for lupus. “Benlysta is like an immune smart bomb that interrupts the attack of lupus on different organ systems,” he says.

For those who have lupus and those yet to be diagnosed, new research and drug development offer hope. “The most important thing to understand about this disease is that therapeutics are in the midst of a revolution,” Sommer notes. “There is so much research occurring right now. There is so much hope.”

“With a better understanding of the mechanisms of autoimmunity, immune smart bombs, antibodies that interrupt the inflammatory and autoimmune destructive effects, have been discovered.”

enter into something called Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs), and those could change the rules country by country. Who knows what the rules are going to be in every different country?”

Rosenzweig notes that it could be difficult to create an off-shore account presently due to fear from foreign financial institution toward government reaction, but with the right compliance it still is a legal action.

It could be argued that those dissuaded from off-shore accounts post-FACTA had questionable intentions to begin with; while new regulations and paperwork are agreeably displeasing, the system in place is there to make sure all finances are accounted for come Tax Day.

They’re leaning forward, with their eyes and ears focused on you! Find them! They will energize you! If you see sour faces or ones disengaged with your talk, don’t take their nonverbal communication personally. Move on to others in the audience. People bring all kinds of ‘stuff’ with them: money issues, family challenges and work problems.

Some may be listening intently to you without showing it. I once had a lady compliment me on a presentation after I had formed the opinion, because of her body language, that she didn’t like my talk.

By taking the temperature of the audience and finding friendly faces, your anxiety will lessen, and the quality of your presentation will rise!

In the next column, we’ll look at more ‘nuggets.’ Till then, make next your presentation…NO SWEAT! Fred Mi ller is a speaker, presentation coach and author of NO SWEAT Public Speaking! For more information, email him at Fred@NoSweatPublicSpeaking.com or visit NoSweatPublicSpeaking.com.

Arthritis continued from page 41 The most commonly used disease-modifying agent for rheumatoid arthritis in the United States is the drug Methotrexate. “However, in the last 10 to 15 years, biological drugs have become available, and they are very effective in the treatment of RA,” Ince says. “Unfortunately for OA, there are no disease-modifying agents and the most common used drugs are NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as Advil), pain medication and physical therapy. A last resort would be joint replacement surgeries.”

Garriga adds that many patients are frustrated by a lack of support and understanding of the lifealtering effects of arthritis. “The worst part of it all: When people tell you how great you look,” he says.

“Many other diseases leave visible proof that you’re under the weather. Not my illnesses. I wish I had a nickel for all the times patients come in fuming because no one seems to understand just how much of a disease burden they carry and cope with.”

Garriga concludes with common-sense advice.

“Eat well, exercise, feed your soul, love your supporters and be grateful for their presence in your life. Enjoy the little nuggets of joy that destiny throws your way once in a while. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Write your symptoms down, do your research and become involved. Help others. Live.”
