Do you feel charity in the U.S. today is thriving or declining (see p. 25)?

DIANE ANDERSON In our town, we have the most-charitable people and businesses! I go to so many not-for-profit events and am amazed by the outpouring of support – in money, time and effort – our community lends to charities.

ROBYN DEXTER Working at Ladue News, we see so many big-hearted St. Louisans giving of their time, talent and treasure. I can’t speak for the rest of the country, but I know the philanthropic community thrives here.

PERFECTION IN RENOVATED MANSE

BRYAN A. HOLLERBACH Not to sound uncharitable, but I wish we as a society could do better. Charity and charitable acts still abound, certainly – but at the same time, so does callousness, as well as utterly shameless cruelty.

Perfection in integration of new spaces, remodeled kitchen and baths and designer decor. The interior embraces the moment you enter.

Editor ‌In this week’s The Daily section, LN staff writer and copy editor Bryan A. Hollerbach shares the story of Edwin G. Shifrin – a World War II veteran who was recently recognized for his valor as a prisoner of war (on p. 74).

Shifrin’s heroic story of triumph and escape can only be described as extraordinary.

We would like to thank Mr. Shifrin for not only allowing us to share his powerful story, but also for everything he accomplished and endured to secure our freedom.

And in our Gatherings & Goodwill section, I’m honored to congratulate three of LN‘s Charity Award finalists – Disabled Athlete Sports Association, VOYCE and the American Parkinson Disease Association. LN contributing writers Connie Mitchell and Daniel Puma profile these wonderful St. Louis-area organizations beginning on p. 25. We hope their stories inspire you to make a difference in the world, and support these charities that are changing lives across our great city.

All the best,

vid Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital supporters will be able to see the organization’s mission in action at this year’s annual golf tournament. On July 25 at Norwood Hills Country Club, golfers from around the St. Louis region, along with Ranken Jordan kids, will assemble for the 12th annual event.

The Ranken Jordan participants, members of the hospital’s golf-as-therapy program, will have the chance to show off what they’ve been working on and play alongside a variety of other St. Louis golfers. The hospital’s community program is an outlet for children of all abilities and their families, and the golf program is designed to focus on the physical, social and emotional benefits children can receive through participating in a sport. They practice each week on Wednesdays, learning from golf pros.

“We’re starting off with a ceremonial tee shot for differing abilities,” says Ranken Jordan CEO Lauri Tanner. “This golf tournament helps all of our participants see the work we do, whether they’re in a walker or a wheelchair or a specially made golf cart. We start the day off knowing why we’re there.

We’re motivated by these kids who do so well.”

Tanner says the golf tournament is a fun event to spend with friends, taking “some good golf shots and some bad golf shots.” She notes that the committee is working incredibly hard to make it a success, and they will again feature Tom Ackerman as master of ceremonies.

One of this year’s participants, an outpatient at Ranken Jordan named

14 June 3, 2016 | LadueNews.com

May, has what Tanner calls a “tremendous spirit” and loves playing golf and being outside.

“The beautiful part of her story is that because of her new love of the game, her parents have gotten involved, too, so they can play as a family,” Tanner says. “[May] is a great example of what we try to do here every day.”

Funds raised from the golf tournament go toward programming at the hospital, where $1.5 million a year is necessary to meet its budget and take care of the kids.

“We are a one-of-a-kind hospital in the country because we transition kids from hospital to home,” Tanner says. “These are the sickest kids in the system. We are that place where they can go to get better and get strong.

Parents get support and training to get their child home.”

Despite the constant need, the hospital has some exciting months ahead. On October 1, it plans to break ground on a 26-bed addition.

“There’s a huge need,” Tanner says. “We’re full. We have patients who are ready to come here.”

Tanner says they expect the building process to take 15 months, and they expect to be operational by early February 2018.

Greater St. Louis Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association

bout 1 million Americans live with Parkinson’s disease (PD), according to the National Institutes of Health. The progressive neurological disease causes a variety of motor and nonmotor symptoms, most commonly tremor, slowness and stiffness.

Balance and cognitive problems also can occur, and as the disease worsens, performing daily tasks becomes increasingly difficult without assistance.

For St. Louis-area PD patients and those who care for them, the Greater St. Louis Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) provides a lifeline. “We have turned our attention to empowering individuals to live well and make their quality of life better instead of just waiting for a cure,” says the chapter’s executive director, Deborah Guyer.

The national APDA, established in 1961, is the nation’s largest grassroots organization serving those with PD, Guyer says. “Our local chapter was chartered in 1984 and has grown to be the largest APDA chapter in the nation.

We annually serve 12,000 people with Parkinson’s in Missouri and southern Illinois and serve as a model for other chapters,” she adds.

Guyer, along with her small staff and team of volunteers, works directly with those with Parkinson’s and their families to answer questions and provide support.

“After receiving a Parkinson’s diagnosis, people are seeking information about how the diagnosis will impact their lives, their occupations, their families,” she says. “The amount of information on the internet can be overwhelming and is often conflicting. The APDA is a trusted source for the most current information about PD. We also connect people to support networks, including support groups and exercise classes in their communities.”

Support groups and free exercise classes through the APDA are facilitated by individuals who have received specialized training in working with PD patients and their families. Because exercise has been shown to benefit people with PD, APDA offers 16 different classes, including stretching, yoga, tai chi, aquatic exercise and more at locations across the St. Louis area.

Quarterly PD-education programs cover various aspects of the disease and

26 June 3, 2016 | LadueNews.com

methods for coping. Vocal exercises, group singing and instrument-playing, called Tremble Clefs, are physically therapeutic and provide friendship and support for participants.

Many of these activities occur at the chapter’s Parkinson Community Resource Center in Chesterfield. In addition to providing a common place to connect; socialize; and attend classes, wellness seminars and support groups, it offers a library of books, magazines and videos on a range of topics related to PD. “We are the only PD resource here in St. Louis,” Guyer says. “PD is a unique neurodegenerative disorder that is very different from some of the other common neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease or ALS, so having a designated place where people with PD can get resources is a huge bonus. In addition, the fact that we are local makes our center able to provide hands-on access to materials, classes and people and able to identify specific needs of this PD community in St. Louis and provide for those needs.”

The chapter provides funding for ongoing research. “We provide a grant of $100,000 annually to the APDA Center for Advanced Research at Washington University School of Medicine, under the direction of Dr. Joel Perlmutter, our medical director,” Guyer says. “We have advanced research efforts in Parkinson’s disease through continued advocacy, such as encouraging participation in clinical trials and funding promising clinicians and scientists.”

One of eight APDA Centers for Advanced Research across the country, the center at Washington University has provided pilot data for six currently funded National Institutes of Health grants and studied biomarkers for PD and cognitive impairment, as well as participated in research on exercise, emphasizing gait and balance. The chapter’s Scientific Advisory Board reviews scientific projects and helps determine where to allocate research funds.

“This is the most hopeful time in our history to have [PD],” Guyer says. “PD is something that you live with, not that you die from, so we are here to help make living with the disease easier.”

“It turned out that I felt better when I did tai chi, and Mom felt better, so she and I did that together for the rest of her life,” he says.

In fact, Miller became so involved he began teaching the exercise that promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements. At the same time, he began attending support groups at the Greater St. Louis Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA), where he says a reccurring theme that arose involved problems people with Parkinson’s faced regarding balance, stiffness and posture.

Miller shared his knowledge and experience of how tai chi had helped his mother at his APDA support group, and the concept was met with interest. Before long, Debbie Guyer, executive director of the Greater St. Louis Chapter of the APDA, asked Miller to begin teaching tai chi as a new addition to the other APDA exercise classes. “Now I teach one meditation class and three tai chi classes every week for the APDA,” Miller says. He estimates he has about 50 students per week and finds

elly Behlmann is a mother of two who understands the importance fitness plays in developing kids’ self-confidence and strength.

She’s also a physical therapist who recognizes the obstacles faced by young people with physical, visual or hearing disabilities. She knows that physical limitations don’t strip people of their desire and need to feel empowered through athletics. And that’s why she established the Disabled Athlete Sports Association (DASA) in 1997.

“I believe there is so much more to our children with disabilities than the ‘dis,’ and that if we emphasized their ‘abilities,’ we could gain so much more strength, both physically and psychologically,” she says. Since founding DASA almost two decades ago, Behlmann says it has evolved to become a therapeutic outlet for both participants and their families. “The family comes to realize their person with a disability can be just as productive a family member as their nondisabled children and aren’t just the child you take to therapy three days a week and sign up for special recreational classes,” she says.

To fulfill its mission of providing people with disabilities “the opportunity to participate in sports and fitness activities designed to improve self-esteem and to promote growth and well-being while instilling family values,” DASA offers about 350 participants year-round recreational opportunities.

“Many of these sports are inclusive in the community, and athletes are encouraged to participate as a family,” Behlmann says. For example, she notes, “We had three wheelchair racers compete in the half-marathon, and their mothers and siblings also competed in their first 5K. This is now a family routine – to train and compete in local races together.”

Athletes participate in “FUNctional” training designed to increase the strength and mobility needed for sports, while many parents or caregivers train alongside in order to help develop and maintain the physical strength needed to provide daily care. “Our baseball camp for those who are deaf or

hard of hearing strengthens self-esteem and confidence in baseball skills, so that child can now self-advocate and participate on a ‘typical’ team,” Behlmann notes.

Individual sports include swimming, track and field, archery, rock climbing, tennis, golf, kayaking, fencing, martial arts and more at locations across St. Louis. DASA teams include soccer, hockey and a paratriathlon team. “Just because we have a physical different ability doesn’t mean we can only and should only expect our participants to participate in ‘special’ programs designed for special-needs children and adults,” Behlmann says. “Those programs have great benefits to many children, but not all those with disabilities need that level of support. We would like the community to respect and appreciate the level of work our participants and athletes put into training.”

DASA is the only organization in the St. Louis area that provides fitness and sports opportunities and adaptive equipment for athletes with disabilities, and the benefits are much more than just physical. “We work specifically with children, adults and disabled veterans who have a primary physical disability,” Behlmann says. “By encouraging and promoting a healthy lifestyle through sport, we take the need of direct therapy away and the stigma that this population needs to be dependent on society. Our participant-athletes are high-school and college graduates and have learned skills through our programs to be good self-advocates and persevere to meet their own personal goals.”

Although DASA athletes may have different abilities, some things are universal: These individuals are developing a healthy lifestyle through sports that encourages teamwork, goal setting, perseverance and a can-do attitude.

head and spinal-cord injury in 1991 and was

in a vegetative state for two years. Slowly, he began to recover and eventually regained some use of his left arm. Kelly Behlmann was his physical therapist. “She would always say, ‘I’m going to find something for him to do,’” Don recalls. “When she started DASA, any sport a kid wanted to do, she’d find a way to get it done.”

Brian first became a DASA athlete playing sled hockey, an ice-hockey sport where players sit on sleds attached to two hockey skate blades and propel themselves with short hockey sticks fitted with metal picks on the bottom to grip the ice. “Any time Kelly needed any help, I was more than willing to do whatever needed to be done,” Don says.

His volunteer participation increased, however, when DASA introduced an archery program. With Don’s guidance and support, Brian became DASA’s first competitive archer. “I wound up becoming the ‘archery guy,’” Don says with a chuckle. He now ensures all the equipment is ready for the weekly one-hour session at St. Louis Bowhunters. And because the building is not handicapped-accessible,

“

his tasks include setting up a 100-foot-long metal ramp to allow the DASA athletes to enter the facility.

I wound up becoming the ‘archery guy.’

Take It!

Since Brian began shooting about nine years ago, father and son have traveled to national archery competitions for athletes with disabilities for Brian to compete. Don says that Brian’s competitive spirit, born from his high-school wrestling involvement before his accident, is undiminished, and archery has allowed him to continue competing and striving for athletic excellence.

“Kelly’s like a daughter to me now,” Don says. “She’s done so

VOYCE

OYCE helps the elderly throughout their entire long-term care process. Whether it be finding a facility, knowing and advocating rights or even aiding in transfers to another care community, VOYCE, founded in 1979, is a resource for those in need.

Mary Lynn Donovan, executive director, started with VOYCE in 2010. With personal experience dealing with the difficulties of navigating long-term health care, Donovan was very motivated to work with VOYCE. A few years ago, she was in a position to find help for both of her parents.

“Through the whole process, we didn’t know there was an advocacy group out there that could help us navigate all the issues of health,” she says.

In addition to overseeing operations for the organization, she leads fundraising and initiatives aimed at fulfilling VOYCE’s mission to educate and empower individuals and their families for quality living across the continuum of long-term care.

“That’s really the heart of our program,” Donovan says, “to empower them [so] they have the right to voice their concerns and to get resolution.”

Additionally, the organization aims to educate residents about their rights on issues such as participation in their care, accommodation of their needs, the right to privacy and the right to accept or deny visitors at any time of day.

VOYCE achieves this through two different programs – the long-term careombudsman program and VOYCEconnect “helpline.” Ombudsmen are officials who hear and investigate complaints by private citizens against other officials and agencies. The ombudsmen at VOYCE are trained volunteers assigned to communities to provide a voice for residents and seek resolution for their concerns. “We advocate for people who are living in a nursing home, assistedliving or residential-care community,” Donovan says. “We play a critical role to safeguard their rights and make sure they are able to exercise free choice.”

Many residents and their families don’t feel comfortable voicing their concerns.

“If we can work with the family members to educate them on the tools and roles in a nursing home, that magnifies our efforts,” Donovan says. “A lot of times, family members are very frustrated and don’t know where to turn for help.”

VOYCE impacts 22,000 people in long-term care communities from

30 June 3, 2016 | LadueNews.com

Jefferson County to northeast Missouri. Each year, the organization resolves more than 3,600 grievances. Although it has nearly 70 volunteers, VOYCE is continuously looking to add and train more so it can serve more communities in the area. Each volunteer receives extensive training and spends four hours each week meeting with residents.

“They go in and get a census from the community that lists everyone,” Donovan says. “Typically they will go meet the residents who have just arrived, and then they have a routine of meeting with all of the residents. Their job is to be a known presence in that community.”

In some instances, there might not be any complaints, in which case the volunteers spend a little time getting to know the residents so that future issues can be comfortably discussed with someone they trust.

Besides the incredible work done by the volunteer ombudsmen, VOYCE helps the elderly in need through its VOYCEconnect helpline. With this program, a specialist meets with those looking for guidance on long-term care.

Whether it be home care, medical or nonmedical, assisted living or nursing homes, the specialist is trained to find the fit best for the individual – in the greater St. Louis metro, this means choosing from more than 200 skilled nursing communities.

“A lot of times someone might choose assisted living, but once they get there, it’s just not the right fit,” Donovan says. “So then they call us back, and we will help them with another selection.”

All of VOYCE’s services are free. The organization doesn’t operate on referral fees; its goal is to objectively find the best fit.

On June 10, VOYCE is hosting The Changing Landscape of Long Term Care Conference, which will have two “tracks” of sessions for attendees. One is the professional track, aimed at administrators, long-term care facility owners, social workers and more. The other, the community track, is aimed at potential residents, family members and caregivers.

Finding quality long-term health care for those in need can be a very difficult and stressful process, but Donovan and her team have the resources, knowledge and expertise to help.

VOLUNTEER TERESA SICKING

Teresa Sicking is a stalwart of volunteering. She has been a volunteer ombudsman with VOYCE for 20 years, a role that she says she came into through a little divine intervention.

“I always say God tricked me,” she says. She had been searching for a place for her mother back in the early ’90s and received wonderful help from

someone at the Division of Aging, now referred to as the Department of Health and Senior Services, who chose a perfect facility for her mother.

“One day I was at church reading the bulletin, and there was a little note that said can you give four hours a week to residents in a nursing home,” Sicking says. “I said, ‘Yeah, I can do that.’ And 20 years later, I’m still doing it.”

Working at a community in Maryland Heights, Sicking sees first-hand the help VOYCE provides for the elderly and their families. When families and residents are afraid to say something, VOYCE offers them representation and empowerment.

She visits once a week to introduce herself to residents, their families and facility administrators. “I talk with them and offer [to] help them in any way,” Sicking says. “Some days there aren’t complaints, so you are there as

a visitor and a friend, sharing life with them.”

Whether resolving complaints about food, roommate disputes or much larger issues with the facility, the ombudsman volunteer program provides so much to elderly residents. For those interested in volunteering as an ombudsman, Sicking recommends good listening skills, patience and courage to discuss issues on behalf of the resident to

administrators, social workers and even dietitians.

The elderly residents provide so much to Sicking, as well, noting that the feeling of truly helping someone keeps her coming back year after year, along with all of the friends she makes.

“I have always liked the elderly,” she says. “I have learned so much from them. They’re often funny and fun, and they have great stories.”

Opportunity can be a privilege taken for granted, but from the death of one local man came the birth of a movement. And with that, children are getting the chance to choose a future.

After Michael Brown was fatally shot one Saturday morning, the multi-talented actress Marty K. Casey launched Show Me Arts Academy to provide children with a place to combine their creativity with productivity. “My ultimate goal is to give every child an opportunity to have a better choice,” Casey, who also serves as the academy’s artistic director, says. “Music saved my life. It helped me to dispel anger and channel it into something better. We need those choices.” Learn more about how the academy is making a difference in the community and across the nation by calling 314-810-7602 or visiting showmeartsacademy.com.

Choosing HOPE Show Me ArtS AcAdeMy

hen the fatal shooting of Michael Brown forever changed the urban landscape of Ferguson and the St. Louis area, one woman found hope in the devastation. Marty K. Casey, an artist who has succeeded as a singer, actress, writer, producer and director, noticed a gap in the opportunities provided to underprivileged youth, especially when it came to the arts. She founded Show Me Arts Academy to provide children with more options. “I remember hearing in the media that Mike Brown was interested in rapping,” Casey says. “I wonder, if Show Me Arts Academy had been in existence then, would he instead have chosen to come into the studio that day and lay down some tracks?”

The academy showcases six core disciplines: poetry, music, dance, DJ engineering, theater and visual arts.

These foundational teachings allow for expansion into other artistic ventures, from modeling to comedy and more. The academy is gearing up for the inaugural tour of Spreading the Love, sponsored by Emerson Electric, which showcases the select talents of 20 children whose aim is to pass on a message of hope. “[These children] are ambassadors of the arts. Aside from [performing], we

will do mission work by going to hospitals and singing to children in cancer wards, as well as veterans,” Casey explains. “We have three children from Ferguson, and I am so excited to give them an opportunity to fight against [their hometown’s negative image] in a positive way.”

Casey has witnessed the impact the academy has had on the community, with children waking up each Saturday, excited to create. “They are amped to be here, starting their day with a feeling of positivity that they can carry with them,” Casey says. “The idea for the academy may have come through me, but the work is shared. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful team – and together, along with the charitable support of Emerson Electric, we make the difference.”

hether your family prefers an exciting entertainment space or a comfortable, quiet retreat, today’s backyards are becoming an extension of the home. From outdoor furniture to fireplaces, bars, grills, TVs and pergolas, all the comforts of the indoors can now enhance your deck or patio. Three local experts from Amini’s Home Rugs and Game Room, Patriot Sunrooms & Home Solutions, and West County Gardens share how your backyard can be transformed into another space for your family to relax, dine and entertain alfresco – just in time for summer.

The key to designing the ultimate outdoor entertainment space is to determine the family’s daily functional needs and unique personal style, says Peggy Dollard, outdoor furniture manager at Amini’s Home Rugs and Game Room in Chesterfield. “You want your outdoor living room to naturally flow from the inside of the home,” she notes. “The furniture arrangement, fabric selections and finishing touches, such as outdoor rugs and throw pillows, will help create a complete outdoor living space.”

The trendiest choices for today’s outdoor living rooms are modular sectionals, chat groups (multiple chairs surrounding a fire pit or table), fire pits and free-standing cantilevered umbrellas because they are multifunctional, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, Dollard says. Shade elements such as pergolas, retractable awnings and canopies with retractable screens also are in high demand, notes Matt Nyberg of Patriot Sunrooms & Home Solutions in Kirkwood. Bill Tomko, general manager and designer at West County Gardens in Overland, agrees. “We are seeing more

40 June 3, 2016 | LadueNews.com

requests for outdoor structures – pergolas and ramadas,” he says.

Outdoor sunrooms – from premier manufacturers such as TEMO Sunrooms and Four Seasons Sunrooms – are another popular way to create an outdoor living room, as they convert the infrequently used seasonal space of a deck, porch or patio to an area that can be utilized year-round, regardless of the outside elements, Nyberg adds.

Tried-and-true materials, like cast aluminum, wrought iron, extruded aluminum and wicker, maintain popularity with outdoor furniture, local experts say.

Amini’s carries top brands such as O.W. Lee, Castelle, Gloster and Woodard, which offer an array of fabrics, finishes and configurations, allowing customers to customize the furniture sets to their taste. “Grays and blues are on trend this season, and soft, natural color palettes jazzed up with colorful pillows are always a popular option,” Dollard says. Tomko adds that top plant brand Proven Winners has a free catalog that can even color-coordinate your garden’s flowers with your outdoor furniture. “Our customers are requesting resin [all-weather] dark-colored wicker furniture with pads in Pantone’s spring 2016 bright, happy colors, such as Buttercup, Snorkel Blue, Limpet Shell [baby blue], Fiesta [vivid red] and Green Flash,” he says.

For dining and entertainment, Tomko also says clients love heavy-gage, rustproof stainless steel Napoleon, DCS and Fire Magic grills, as well as outdoor big-screen TVs and in-ground sound systems with buried subwoofers that sound incredible when it comes time to entertain family members and guests.

“We also have more requests for higher-quality,

wetcast pavers from Unilock and Techo-Bloc porcelain outdoor [patio] tiles,” Tomko adds.

Among the newest items to enhance your backyard entertainment space are NuTone Haven low-voltage LED landscape lights, which also emit repellant to control mosquitos, Tomko notes. Expandable dining tables with removable leaves likewise are a convenient new entertainment element. “This allows many options if you are having an intimate gathering or entertaining a large group,” Dollard says. “The expandable dining tables can comfortably seat as few as six and up to 10 people. Fire-pit dining tables also are very versatile and encourage guests to linger longer after dining alfresco because they create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere.” Nyberg notes the popularity of TEMO Sunrooms’ operable pergola, which has a motor to move its top panels to control the amount of sun or shade on your patio or deck. And another great new addition for the outdoor living room is a pétanque (French bocce ball) court, Tomko adds. “You can stay active while you’re relaxing!”

he Ryan Tradition has specialized in the St. Louis luxury real estate market for more than 50 years, highlighting communities like Clayton, Ladue, Frontenac, Huntleigh and Town and Country.

John Ryan, who is part of The Ryan Tradition, says they had a very strong past year and did $51 million in sales. Ryan says their sale price average is $1.6 million, defining the type of market they work in. Over the last 22 years, the team has sold more than $936 million of St. Louis real estate, leading the market in highest-priced sales, highest-average sale price and highest sales volume.

Ryan highlights a property at 7 Babler Lane in Ladue, a beautiful nine-year-old custom home, for sale at $3,500,000. The home, built by Johnson Development, sits on 1.24 acres and offers luxury living and high-end conveniences. Ryan notes the exceptional architectural detail the home features, from vaulted ceilings to beautiful millwork to an expansive lanai. The 5,404-square-foot home features eight bathrooms, six bedrooms, an in-ground pool with pool house, expansive windows, a custom kitchen plus 3,000-square-feet finished in the lower level and so much more.

The Ryan Tradition continues to be a dominant force in the St. Louis luxury market, and listings like

this one exemplify that, Ryan says.

“This listing also exemplifies the current trend toward newer homes,” he says. They also have another newer custom home available at nearby 28 Twin Springs Lane.

The land where 7 Babler Lane sits had an existing house on it, but that house was taken down to build this new one, something else that’s a trend in the area.

“The Ryan Tradition has been involved in many of those land sales,” Ryan says. “This Babler Lane house is a complete-package custom home.”

The luxury market in St. Louis is largely being led by custom homes, Ryan notes.

“People want to find lots and build their own homes,” he says. “We’ve achieved some record prices on land sales in Ladue and the area. People want to build a custom home in the area and are willing to pay to purchase those locations.”

Ryan says buyers and sellers should come to The Ryan Tradition team because of their experience, knowledge and the service they provide.

“We’ve been fortunate to lead the market year in and year out,” he says.

Peggy Liggett of Laura McCarthy Real Estate

By Amanda Dahl

‌Peggy Liggett’s unconventional background in education strengthened her resolve to provide the absolute best service while meeting each client’s real estate needs. “I always go the extra mile in terms of service for my clients,” she says. “I strive to be a good listener, always come prepared and always be on time.”

Liggett formerly held a career for almost three decades in academia, serving as associate dean of Academic Affairs at Fontbonne University, and as adjunct faculty at both Fontbonne and Maryville University. She resigned at the end of the 1993 academic year to spend time with her family, as her mother had fallen ill and her daughter had become engaged. “I had a real estate license, and for something to do, I began taking floor duty to fill the summer days.

I have never looked back!” Liggett declares.

Liggett discovered a newfound passion in the real estate industry through making important connections, forming friendships and encountering

new challenges. “I like the fact that every day is different, every transaction is different, and every client has different needs,” she says. “There are many challenges in this business. I have seen interest rates at 18 percent, the crash of 2008, tight inventory and new government regulations. I keep a positive outlook and try to find solutions. I take everything in stride.”

Liggett also makes sure to take time to reboot, so she can offer each client a fresh perspective.

“Real estate is a fast-paced business. A ride for a few hours through the woods on my beautiful Tennessee Walking mare is a real refresher,” she shares. Valuing honesty above all else, Liggett promises to provide an exceptional level of service for both her buyers and sellers. And after 25 years in the business, her devotion to clients has proved unwavering.

Featured Listing: 35 Chesterfield Lakes Road This 5-bedroom and 7-bathroom home in Chesterfield is listed for $2.35 million.

This stately home proves a work of art with architectural details, such as soaring ceilings, walls of windows, and varied rooflines and ceiling heights. From a glass foyer leading to the great room with maple columns, a kitchen designed by Brooks Berry & Associates and a lower-level wine cellar, each space showcases something spectacular.

T

he spillover of athletic wear into everyday fashion and the corollary infusion of fashion-forward ideas into competition gear have given birth to a now-ubiquitous stylistic term coined (officially, as of last year, by Merriam-Webster) as athleisure. Appropriate for both the fitness novice and the sub-three-hour marathoner alike, these hybrid styles combine fashion and function in styles that transition easily from workout to play.

“Both competitive runners and casual runners benefit from the latest technology in running apparel,” says Big River Running Co.’s marketing director, Katie Helbig. “It doesn’t matter if you are superfast or if you are just starting your journey to fitness, you are still going to sweat, you still want to feel comfortable in your running gear, you don’t want to chafe, you need pockets for your keys, and so on.”

What it comes down to, Kate Duryea, owner at Ladue activewear boutique Dimvaloo, tells us, is being able to live your life in what you wear.

“It used to be that a woman wearing competitive running gear wouldn’t want to go to the grocery store after a run,” Duryea says. “It’s not that she

didn’t want to – it wasn’t really what you wanted to be seen in.”

And it saves time for multitaskers who need the extra training time. “We have one customer who runs the Boston Marathon every year in Lorna Jane, a brand we carry that prides itself on being fashion-forward activewear,” Duryea says. “She’s a mom with two kids, owns a business and runs competitively – she feels comfortable going to the grocery store or a run in our gear.”

Although higher price tags of quality running gear these days might cause a shopper to balk, Duryea, Helbig and Kent Bohling – the owner of The Running Center of St. Louis in Rock Hill – all three recommend making the worthy investment.

Performance fabrics, says Bohling, are made from technical, moving comfort uprise crossback sports moisture-wicking synthetic bra, available at The running center of materials, enhancing breathability st. louis and Big river running company and reducing chafing. “Wicking refers to the material’s ability to transport moisture away from the body,” he says.

“It’s ill-advised to exercise in apparel made

on ScoTT: Yogasmoga California short $95, Dimvaloo Yogasmoga Venice tee $82, Dimvaloo Nike Air Zoom shoe $120, Big River Running Company

from cotton because it retains moisture and is abrasive to the skin.”

Helbig agrees, adding: “There are places where you can buy cheaper running gear, but the investment you are making with purchases from a run-specialty store shows the quality of the products. That’s the difference more than what ‘type’ of runner you are.”

Even just making the simple switch to highcaliber performance shorts and T-shirts can help take the edge off of runs in St. Louis’ sticky-hot summers, Bohling tells us. More summer trends to keep an eye on are sheer and loose tops, such as Nike’s “breeze” series, available at Big River Running, or crop tops, such as Australian sportswear line Lorna Jane’s Angelina crop tank, available at Dimvaloo.

Prints and patterns are having a moment this year in both men’s and women’s running fashions. “It’s about showing off your personal style and looking great whether you’re exercising or not,” Helbig says. She recommends the Hatha capri legging by Lucy for women or men’s running shorts by Nike or Brooks. For early-morning or nighttime runners, many brands carry clothing with reflective materials for visibility and safety. Bohling recommends the ASICS Lite Show series, available in tops, shorts and capris.

Seamless construction also is essential to protect against chafing. Running gear should feel smooth against the skin to prevent irritation and enable the wearer to focus on his or her workout.

Often it’s the unseen item that carries the largest responsibility: the sports bra. “A sports bra can be your friend or your worst enemy,” Duryea says. “You want something with support, that’s stylish – ours are even flattering.” She recommends Lorna Jane’s line of supportive wear. “They have great details that set them apart from typical activewear designs.”

Bohling also recommends checking out the Moving Comfort sports bra line, a sister brand to Brooks Running, available at his shop.

Love or hate the term, athleisure is here to stay. “Everyone wants to look good, regardless of if they are running races and winning age-group awards, hitting the gym or even running after their kids, right?” Helbig says.

t started with a passion for “the finer things in life” and transformed into an all-encompassing barber experience. Brent Oberlink, owner and founder of Dapper Gents, wanted to create a modern luxury men’s grooming lounge that emphasizes what makes a man a gentleman.

“At Dapper Gents, we have strived to create a modern but yet throwback shop to the timeless traditions of straight-razor shaves while providing quality menswear and cool accessories for guys to make their wardrobe unique,” Oberlink says. “Our shop is unique in the fact that the barber chairs are from the early 1900s, they were made here in St. Louis, and we have completely redone them.”

The lounge is housed in an older exposedbrick building on Washington Avenue, next to a steakhouse and a cigar bar. Oberlink and his crew opened the shop in April 2014, and feedback has been great since then. He says there’s “a lot of buzz still,” and the shop is booked at least a few days out, along with busy weekends.

One of the main things that set the barbershop apart from others is the experience the staff members create.

“Many brands are strictly based upon how fast something can be done,” Oberlink says. “I personally would rather pay extra and have something done in a quality manner. I want the time taken so that my service or product is better than average.”

At Dapper Gents, that means being welcomed with a

complimentary drink and then 45 minutes in the chair for a consultation, quality cut and review afterward.

“Our experience is to relax in a cool, throwback atmosphere while experiencing excellent customer service and a truly tailored haircut,” Oberlink says.

“This is your time, and we don’t want you to feel we are rushing you out to get to the next client.”

To ensure this, Oberlink says Dapper Gents’ pay structure is “a little different than normal” for the industry.

“Our barbers take the time to do their jobs right,” he says. “What we aim to do at Dapper Gents is focus on quality of service.”

On June 18, the Saturday before Father’s Day, Dapper Gents will offer father/son haircut deals for $49, with the add-on option of a straight-shave for dad for $30 instead of the usual $45. It also will offer 20 percent off menswear that day.

In addition to grooming services, the barbershop has a retail shop, housing menswear items like sport coats, boots, watches, custom made to order menswear and shoes and dress shirts. Some select brands you can find at Dapper Gents include Moore and Gile Leather Goods, Shinola, Gitman Shirts, Esquivel Shoes, Baxter of California. It also provides shoeshines, tailoring and style consultations.

Consistently people come in and tell Dr. Birkenmeier they have been “everywhere” looking for relief. After a proper evaluation and treatments different than they had elsewhere, they start feeling better… so the “proof is in the pudding” as they say.

“Severe pain in the left foot brought me to the neuropathy and Pain relief institute. helped to stand and walk without pain. Sleep better.”

Wayne D., Age 73

What treatments are used?

After 13 years of treating patients with neuropathy and Pain, specific combinations of treatments are found to be highly successful. these include lasers that stimulate healing at a deep level, decompression therapy to give more space for the nerves to flow, and other instruments that stimulate and help support the relief process. Specific procedures and recommendations can only be given after a proper evaluation by Dr. Birkenmeier, but rest assured, all of the details are discussed.

Follow ladue newS.

How does someone know if the treatments are right for them?

A thorough evaluation to determine if the person has the problems that can be treated is the only way to know. Bottom line, if Dr. Birkenmeier cannot help a person, he will refer them to the correct provider to get help.

Is there a Guarantee? Is there 100% relief ?

ln

Unfortunately, in healthcare there are no guarantees. realistically, there are too many factors that go into a person’s health. the best thing to do is properly evaluate the person, treat them with time-tested, effective treatments for a period of time while closely monitoring the progress, then re-evaluate to see what their progress is. there are people who do experience 100% relief of their symptoms.

Game ON! ‌S t. Louis needed victory badly. We lost an NFL franchise, which doesn’t happen very often, and local college sports provided no relief. Luckily, the St. Louis Blues stepped front and center, carrying the town.

I recently conducted an informal poll on Twitter and elsewhere online with this question: If given the option, would you give up the Rams for a Stanley Cup? The results were overwhelmingly in favor of the Blues.

Granted, the question was asked right in the middle of the playoffs. However, nobody likes the Rams, and very few folks don’t like the Blues.

One of the coolest things I have ever witnessed was the raw, unadulterated joy as Blues players hit the locker room after the Game 7 win in Dallas. The players who didn’t play were in suits, high-fiving their teammates, and everybody was screaming and smiling. That’s why you play, watch and cover sports.

Four Thoughts:

Did you hear that Stan Kroenke actually tried to take credit for discovering the talent of Kurt Warner? Kurt said he had never heard that story before. I suppose Stan also watched Marshall Faulk play high-school football in New Orleans, Babe Ruth hit baseball in the orphanage and Tiger hit wedges. Stan saw that talent before anybody else because he is such a keen sports executive.

When you hear that basketball players are transferring from Saint Louis University, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s not like the roster was very good. Travis Ford has already added three new players.

Wouldn’t it be great one day to have the Chaifetz Arena and the Scottrade Center packed all winter long?

Why Should My Child Be Immunized?

I

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

mmunizations, aka vaccines, are designed to prevent disease. They contain inactive viral or bacterial particles, causing the body to make antibodies that recognize and fight diseases when you or your child is exposed to them.

In 36 years as a pediatrician, I have seen some diseases virtually disappear as vaccines were developed to prevent them. Rotavirus diarrhea, certain forms of meningitis and chicken pox can be life-threatening, were still prevalent in the 1980s and are rarely seen today.

Immunizations work.

An immunized child is often a healthier child, so your child should be immunized following schedules endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prevention of illness not only keeps parents at work and kids in school, but also can save lives.

Some parents are still skeptical and ask questions, such as:  Can’t I use my own schedule or modify the recommendations? The recommended schedule is

In 36 years as a pediatrician, I have seen some diseases virtually disappear as vaccines were developed to prevent them. designed with age and immune-system competence in mind and is reviewed routinely. Variance from the recommendations can reduce effectiveness of a vaccine.  Why are so many doses needed?

Several vaccines require more than one dose, as immunity develops over time and needs reinforcement to build the best protection.  I am immunized. Why does my baby need so many shots? Don’t I pass this to him or her when he or she is in the womb? Although mothers do transfer some passive immunity to their babies during pregnancy, this immunity is temporary and gone within a few months of life.

 Haven’t we gotten rid of most of the illnesses that immunizations prevent? A vaccine does not get rid of the disease-causing virus or bacteria; rather, it protects you and your child from the illness. If fewer children are immunized, everyone is at greater risk.

Remember, some diseases that are rare in the United States are still prevalent in other parts of the world.

Protect your children and yourself – be wise and immunize.

The GreaT

EscapE (St. Louis-Style)

An unassuming Clayton resident belatedly earns a medal for his past military mettle.

V

alor. That term has all but vanished from the american vocabulary during the current era, in which multifarious cowardice reigns, yet it should arise in any discussion of World War II veteran edwin G. Shifrin.

With a bit of assistance from his family and Missouri’s senior U.S. senator, the 93-year-old Clayton retiree recently won recognition for his valor as a prisoner of war – seven decades after the fact.

“Dad never talked much about [being a POW],” says Dan Shifrin – who lives in Colorado, and like his father, practices law – which he relates by phone on behalf of the elder Shifrin, whose memory has begun to fade. “We knew that he was in the war. We knew he was captured and injured, and we knew he escaped. and for the longest time, that was pretty much it – just the bare bones, really.

“Occasionally, he’d say something about it, but as kids, we knew not to bring it up because it was clearly something he didn’t want to talk about.”

Dan’s files include a time-tanned Western Union telegram, dated aug. 30, 1944, and printed in all capitals in the company’s brutally mechanistic typeface.

Its message must have hit its intended receiver, University City resident Celeste Shifrin, like a

sledgehammer: The SeCreTarY OF War DeSIreS Me TO eXPreSS hIS DeeP reGreT ThaT YOUr SON COrPOraL eDWIN G ShIFrIN haS BeeN rePOrTeD MISSING IN aCTION SINCe SeVeN aUGUST IN FraNCe. a subsequent telegram, Dan notes, reported that his (then prospective) father, after being deployed as a U.S. army infantryman to Normandy, France, in the wake of D-Day, had become a POW in Stalag III-C, somewhat east of Berlin.

The elder Shifrin’s imprisonment in and escape from the stalag prompted his son, much later, to comb similar documents in pursuit of a congressional POW medal established in the mid-1980s. Obtaining such a medal, though, involves as many as seven layers of bureaucratic inquiry, an online flowchart shows.

Factors like that inspired the involvement of U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill.

“I was talking to my sister, who lives in Kansas City,” Dan recalls, “and suggested that if she knew the representative there in Missouri or the senator, that might be a good contact to see things through because typically it takes about a year for processing. and so Mary contacted Sen. McCaskill’s office, and they were able to push it through in just a couple of weeks.”

McCaskill likely took particular interest in the

elder Shifrin for three main reasons, two of them legislative. First, she sits on the Committee on armed Services in the 114th Congress. Second, she serves as the ranking minority member of the Special Committee on aging. The third reason, however, perhaps involves a connection far more personal.

“My father fought in World War II, and we didn’t even know that he had a Bronze Star until after he died,” the senator states. “I relate to Mr. Shifrin because of my father.”

Calling her ability “to help a veteran in circumstances like this” the best aspect of her position, McCaskill continues, “It is a great deal of fun for our staff. They consider it a labor of love, and I certainly consider it a labor of love.”

The senator and her team sent the medal – one of whose sides, symbolically, shows a stylized bald eagle, ringed by barbed wire yet undaunted – to Dan. Then, when he and his own family visited his parents in mid-February for their anniversary, Dan presented the medal to his father.

The younger Shifrin characterizes his father, on receiving the medal, as “[very] pleased. and I know my mother was pleased and continues to talk about that.

I know it brought back moments to him that were not pleasant, but I think the recognition meant a lot to him.”

edwin G. Shifrin

Whatever specific privations the elder Shifrin suffered in Stalag III-C remain a mystery, his son admits, as do any out-and-out atrocities he may have witnessed. (Over time in that POW camp, the Nazis reportedly starved or otherwise killed 12,000 Soviet prisoners – roughly half-again Ladue’s population as recorded in the 2010 census.)

“I do know that he’d never eat potato soup while we were growing up, and I’m sure that’s the reason,” Dan says. “That’s what they were fed a lot, and if they were lucky, there was a piece of potato in it.”

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch initially covered his father’s story in april, sparking an associated Press wildfire that fast encompassed New York’s Daily News, The Telegraph in London and many other farflung news outlets. That yielded gladsome results, the younger Shifrin relates.

“My folks have gotten contacted here by mail or phone from people around the country that they’ve known in the past, and it’s been great for them to reconnect – it’s added a lot to their lives, these last few months,” he says. almost inevitably, for those of a certain age, his father’s story will recall The Great Escape, the 1963 hollywood blockbuster starring Steve McQueen.

“In mid-January ’45, Dad and two others cut through the wire behind a latrine, within a shadow area from the guard towers, hid out in a haystack the first night, and made their way through Poland and then russia on foot, on old horses, bicycles,” Dan says.

“They hitchhiked on russian transporter trucks that were heading east to resupply and made their way, eventually, to Odessa, [Ukraine] where a British ship – the first one that was able to dock in Odessa – took them to Port Said, egypt, and then a week or so later, another ship to Naples, Italy, and then still another ship to Boston. and I believe they arrived in Boston on about april 8 or 10 of ’45.”

The trek from Stalag III-C to Odessa alone stretched roughly 1,100 miles, and during it, the elder Shifrin and his fellows had to rely largely on their own devices.

“Frankly, the russians didn’t want to have anything to do with them because the soldiers, such as they were in that part of russia, had their own jobs, and people were short on food,” Dan says. “I think a lot of the Poles were friendly and gave them food and shelter as they could – but it was a pretty dire situation, and they didn’t get a lot of help. So they had to scrounge what they could, both in terms of transportation and in food and shelter.”

Ultimately, after returning stateside, the elder Shifrin raised a family with his wife, Barbara, and served as an attorney here for several decades, never really commenting on what must have been an astonishing imprisonment and journey.

“So many of the soldiers came back, put [the war] behind them, started a new life and went on with it,” says Dan, who fears that time’s passage may be eradicating stories like his father’s. “It was just what you did. It obviously took a lot of guts to get through it and to rebuild.”

To be sure, such stories have not gone altogether unheralded. as early/late as September 2000, for instance, Pennsylvania’s controversial George W. Gekas addressed his (then) colleagues in the U.S. house of representatives regarding survivors of Stalag III-C like Corp. edwin G. Shifrin.

“Let us remember these valiant soldiers in our prayers,” Gekas declared at that time. “Their service to the United States and to democracy around the world shall never be forgotten.” amen to that, sir – amen to that.

or more than 30 years, Hais, Hais and Goldberger, P.C. has provided St. Louis families with quality legal representation and attentive care.

The firm—comprised of partners Susan Hais, her husband, Sam, and Elliot Goldberger, as well as associates Dzenana Delic, Erin Zielinski, Bradley Bodeux and Michelle Weldo—prides itself on receiving the best results for clients in the most ethical, honest and fairest way.

Unlike larger firms, which have lawyers practicing in a variety of legal fields, Hais, Hais and Goldberger’s

exclusive focus on family law allows its partners to support its clients both in the courtroom and out.

“You can be tough in court and fight your hardest, but always be kind to clients,” says founding partner Susan Hais.

“A lot of law firms forget that, and think as if their clients are just a file. I’ve seen lawyers yell at their clients. Instead of adding to the problem, we try to support and guide them, and solve it with them. We’re on their team, and they can rely on us.”

Hais, Hais and Goldberger attorneys address every clients’ individual needs, and see the results of their hard work. Hais estimates she can count on one hand the number of times her firm has lost a case.

Frequently winning in higher courts, she says, is a good way to measure the firm’s accomplishments—but it’s not the only way. Clients often refer friends and family to the firm, which has contributed to its long and successful track record in the area. The firm’s attorneys regularly hear from former clients, thanking the firm for helping them during their time of need.

It’s these people—not files or cases— whom the firm serves.

To learn more about our featured artist, visit johnsalozzoart.com.

St. Louis-area artists who wish to be considered for future installments of this monthly department of Ladue news should email inquiries to bhollerbach@laduenews.com with “Art and Soul” in the subject line.

I

n the purity of its color, the clarity of its line and the streetwise glee of its focus, John Salozzo’s painting borders on breathtaking.

Consider, for instance, the untitled work showcased here. It depicts a neon St. Ann sign on St. Charles Rock Road, reportedly the site of a drive-in razed 30 years ago. In 1991, Shop ’n Save restored the sign lovingly – and Salozzo’s painting memorializes it just as lovingly.

That 20- by 30-inch work and similar vistas – one showing the ginormous Amoco sign at Clayton and Skinker – constitute Salozzo’s St. Louis Icon Series. He describes them collectively as “a 10-year project that will highlight establishments and hopefully people that the folks who live and work in St. Louis know as icons, not what you’d see in a travel brochure.”

When that project concludes, Salozzo hopes to issue a coffee-table book spotlighting its enchanting images.

Salozzo characterizes his work as belonging to the “style known as realism or photorealism,” which has prompted confusion. “Because my paintings look so real, they are often confused with photographs or prints of an original,” he relates, “but they are 100 percent paintings.

“All my work is created using acrylic paint, some on canvas and some on board. I do use multiple photos for reference, but all my paintings are hand-drawn.”

After attending university in Rhode Island, Salozzo notes, he worked as a commercial illustrator in Boston for more than two decades.

Little-known periodicals like Time and Sports Illustrated have included his work, which likewise has graced trade publications, “countless brochures” and record-album covers. He also has toiled in marketing.

“In the last three years, I have gotten back to my art, now as a fine artist doing both commission and gallery artwork,” he says, under the representation of Clayton Fine Art Gallery (claytonfineartgallery.com).

Salozzo moved to St. Louis in 2001, and regarding the Icon project, which he calls a “time capsule,” he relates, “I found this city so visually interesting that I felt I owed it to the city to show off its places and people that are special.”

He’s succeeded – in spades.

I also warmed up for the main course with an order of the insalata russa ($23), a gorgeous – and delicious – plate of rich butter-poached lobster, leeks and potatoes.

Of course, I also had to try some pasta. My final choice was the pappardelle al ragù ($21), featuring house-made pappardelle pasta covered in a classic take on veal ragù Bolognese. On

paper it’s a simple and traditional Italian meal, but the expertly crafted dish served at Parigi transcends the sum of its humble parts.

Parigi also offers several prime cuts of meat. Out of curiosity, I ordered the fillet of beef ($38) – talk about a most unexpected delight! This 8-ounce beef tenderloin fillet, served in a red wine reduction (béarnaise sauce also is an option), cooked a rosy medium-rare, is one of the best cuts I’ve had in town. Tender with just the right amount of “give,” the fillet rivals the offerings at most steakhouses, and the price is right, to boot.

For dessert, the macarons ($8) from La Patisserie Chouquette, one of the jewels of the St. Louis baking scene, are a must-try.

arigi, the latest eatery from chef and restaurateur Ben Poremba, combines French and Italian influences (the restaurant’s name is the Italian word for Paris). Although it only recently opened its doors in the Clayton on the Park building in downtown Clayton, Parigi already is making a big impression on local diners – and for good reason.

From its elegant and understated furnishings to the warm orange hues that adorn the dining room walls, the interior is both welcoming and timeless, great for a romantic date night, a bite before a show or just drinks and dessert. During the day, the dining room’s many windows fill it with light, and in the evening, they

&STAGES A Show St. Louis Set to Open 30th Season

By Mark Bretz

‌Native New Yorker Jack Lane arrived in St. Louis nearly 30 years ago with a dream of opening a new summer musical theater. That’s a bit of a daunting proposition, considering that The Muny and its outdoor season at the sprawling amphitheater in Forest Park had been entrenched since 1919. But, no risk, no reward.

“Such a love of musicals and musical theater in St. Louis clearly existed because of The Muny,” said Lane in a recent phone interview. “I don’t think we’d be as successful if The Muny didn’t exist. But there wasn’t a midsized musical theater house in St. Louis.”

So in 1987, Lane and his business and life partner, Kirkwood native Michael Hamilton, founded STAGES St. Louis. In its inaugural season, STAGES had a budget of $50,000 and a part-time, seasonal staff of eight employees. Today, the company employs a full-time staff of 25 and has a budget of $4.7 million.

Lane previewed the coming season for LN readers.

It Shoulda Been You will open the season on June 3 and continue through July 3. Next up on the main stage will be The Drowsy Chaperone, which was hugely popular when it first played STAGES in 2009. “Audiences have wanted us to bring that back,” says Lane. “The transformation in Chaperone is about musicals and being in love with musicals.”

David Schmittou, a New York actor who is a favorite of STAGES audiences, will return in the leading role of Man in Chair in the charming story of a lonely apartment dweller whose favorite 1920s musical comes to life when he puts the vinyl cast album on his stereo player.

The Drowsy Chaperone will play July 22 through Aug. 21, followed by the regional theater premiere of Sister Act, the Broadway musical based on the hit movie that starred Whoopi Goldberg as a lounge singer on the lam from the mob who hides out in a convent where she blends in – kind of – with some surprisingly fun-loving The bar program at Parigi is notable, as well.

You can get a variety of fine cocktails, including well-made classics like the Negroni ($12) or custom creations like the Gaslight Square ($12), featuring bourbon, scotch, Carpano Antica vermouth and Cherry Heering. The wine list features a range of styles from across the globe, including Italian wine like the Badia di Morrona Sangiovese Chianti ($15).

And for folks who want to experience all that natural light courtesy of Parigi’s window-lined walls, breakfast and lunch also are served, as is brunch on Sundays.

nuns. “Sister Act is a true transformational musical,” says Lane, “where two different groups of people come together.” The show will play Sept. 9 through Oct. 9.

Over at the Playhouse at Westport Plaza, this year’s Emerson Theatre for Young Audiences production will be Alice in Wonderland. “This is an inclusive experience for kids,” says Lane, “with preshow activities as well.

Also, last year we did our first sensory performance for kids with autism and Down’s syndrome. We’ll be doing two special sensory performances just for them, tweaking the sound and the lighting.”

STAGES assembles its casts with actors primarily from New York City and St. Louis. “We always hope we can find as many people as possible in St. Louis,” notes Lane. “This year, more than 50 percent of our performers are from here. Often, though, you can’t find triple threats [singers/dancers/actors], who tend to live in Chicago or New York. We spend two weeks every year holding auditions in New York and nearly two weeks in St. Louis and get more than a thousand people who audition.”

The technical team at STAGES often features familiar faces as well, from artistic director Hamilton to associate artistic director Stephen Bourneuf, scenic designer James Wolk, costume designers Brad Musgrove and Garth Dunbar, and lighting designer Sean Savoie.

The Kirkwood Community Center is scheduled for a major overhaul soon, so STAGES has been looking for another locale in that community to call home. Lane says a specific location is in mind, adding, “2019 is the [season for the] hopeful opening night.”

Meanwhile, STAGES St. Louis will continue to make do by filling the 377 seats at the Reim Theatre at the Kirkwood Community Center, where more than 1 million patrons have attended shows in the last three decades. That risk 30 years ago has paid some handsome dividends indeed.

Summer

Grilling Guide

By Daniel Puma Truffles photos by Sarah Conard

june 3, 2016 | LadueNews.com

Truffles Butchery’s Steve Caravelli shares his chef-tested grilling guidelines for mastering the basics and branching out into new tips, tricks and techniques this season.

Whether because of sizzling steaks and burgers or charred chicken wings and corn on the cob, the aromas of backyard grilling spike this time of year, signaling the first days of unofficial/post-Memorial Day summer.

Steve Caravelli – executive chef at Truffles Butchery in Ladue, attached to fine-dining restaurant Truffles – recently spoke with Ladue News to share advice on proper grilling techniques and how to become a grilling guru. Caravelli has more than 10 years of professional kitchen experience, working in restaurants across the metro area, and has been leading the team at Butchery for a year.

Choosing Proteins

It’s important to know what works best on the grill – meats like steaks, pork chops and sausages along with heartier seafood like salmon, swordfish and shrimp. “Marbleization and fat content is the thing to look for,” Caravelli says.

Marble-heavy prime or dry-aged rib-eye or strip steak would be delectable choices, and Caravelli also recommends flank and hanger steaks as delicious and affordable options. It’s best to develop a relationship with a butcher you trust to sell you the best-quality products in a range of cuts and styles.

Preparing the Grill

Make sure the grates are hot, cleaned and greased with a vegetable-based oil that has a neutral flavor and high smoke point – vegetable, grapeseed or canola oil work great. Oils with low smoke points, like olive oil, will develop acrid, bitter flavors. “One of the most important parts is to have a preheated grill,” Caravelli says. “The worst thing you can do is put a piece of meat on a not-hot-enough grill.” The old-school method to test your grill’s temperature is to hold your hand about 5 inches above the grates. When the grill is properly heated, you should be able to hold it there comfortably for only 1 or 2 seconds.

Preparing Proteins for the Grill

“The first thing is identifying that you’ve gotten rid of any nasty bits that you don’t want on your meat,” Caravelli says, listing examples like silver skin, gristle and excessive fat.

Most meats should be removed from the refrigerator and brought to room temperature before preparation. Salting and seasoning early will create a natural antimicrobial barrier, allowing meats to safely reach room temperature without risking foodborne illness. Thinner cuts of meat benefit from staying in the fridge so that they don’t overcook when exposed to high temperatures.

However, not all meats are created equal. “Fish does not benefit from seasoning beforehand,” Caravelli says. “You want to season it right before it goes on the grill; [otherwise] moisture leaches out, and it ends up steaming.” This makes the fish stick to your grill grates, making it much harder to cleanly release.

Caravelli says that prime and dry-aged steaks taste best when liberally seasoned with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to accentuate the natural flavors, while flank and skirt steaks, chicken breast and pork tenderloin can benefit from a marinade or brine to infuse additional flavor and moisture.

Grilling

Start most meats over direct heat to sear. Fish will initially stick but naturally release from the grill when it’s ready to flip. According to Caravelli: “If you try to get the spatula under it and it gets stuck, don’t touch it. Step away from it, and give it a little longer.”

Once steaks are seared, it’s important to start checking for doneness. There is no shame in using thermometers, but most chefs go by feel, using different parts of their palms for comparison. For thermometer users, keep a temperature guide close by, as some meats aren’t safe until they reach a certain temperature. Chicken must reach an internal temperature of 165°F, while steaks range from 125°F for rare up to 165°F for well-done.

Most steaks ¾-inch to 1½-inches thick can usually withstand cooking on direct heat the entire time for medium-rare to medium doneness. However, a piece of meat like chicken, fish or pork that develops an ideal sear but needs additional cook time should be moved to the cool zone – the section of your grill over indirect heat.

After Grilling

Once the desired temperatures have been reached, the last step is allowing your meat to rest before cutting. “Every cut of meat benefits from 10 to 15 minutes of resting,” Caravelli says. “Resting ensures more of your juices [remain] inside.” After undergoing extreme physical stress, the muscle fibers need the opportunity to rest to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. If cut immediately, the plate will be overrun with flavorful juices while the meat will be much drier and tougher.

Grilled mixed VeGeTaBles This can be any mix of quality summer vegetables.

I suggest zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, eggplant, red onion or even cherry tomatoes.

The key is cutting them into similar sizes to cook evenly and quickly on the grill.

Serves | 4 to 6 |

Grilled asParaGus When asparagus is fresh and in season, the best recipes keep it simple.

Cooking the asparagus half at a time makes it easier to get stalks off the grill before they overcook.

Serves | 4 | 2 1

bunches asparagus (thin or standard size), ends cut off Tbsp vegetable oil, or to taste kosher salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper, to taste juice of ½ a lemon high-quality extra virgin olive oil, to taste sea salt, to taste

| Preparation | Coat asparagus with vegetable oil, and season with kosher salt and pepper. Prepare grill on high heat and cook asparagus, 1 bunch at a time, until it obtains a nice char. Once asparagus is tender, remove from grill and place on serving plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Marinade (yields 1 cup) ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar ⅔ cup vegetable oil ½ tsp chile flakes ½ Tbsp kosher salt

Grilled VeGetables 1 zucchini 1 yellow squash 1 eggplant 1 red onion 1 bell pepper sea salt (to serve) extra virgin olive oil (to serve)

| Preparation – marinade | In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Set aside. | Preparation – Grilled Vegetables | Slice all vegetables except pepper into evenly sized pieces, ¼ to ⅓ inch. Clean seeds from pepper, and cut into ½-inch strips. Toss all in marinade, and allow to marinate 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Using a colander, drain off liquid. Preheat a grill basket over high-heat area of grill. Add vegetables to hot basket. Shake basket and turn after 2 to 3 minutes, repeating if necessary. Total cook time should be only 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from grill and finish with salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

CHimiCHurri sauCe This veers away from the traditional Argentinian sauce for steak and chicken – a bit milder and omitting the cilantro, which makes it friendlier to every palate, and it still pairs well with wine.

This recipe yields 1 cup.

HorseradisH Crema This is very simple yet great sauce for red meat. This recipe yields 1½ cups.

Serves | 4 |

Serves | 4 | ½ ½ 2 2 2 2 ¾ 1 1

¼ 1

cup finely chopped parsley Tbsp minced garlic tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves tsp dry oregano dashes Tabasco Tbsp red wine vinegar cup vegetable oil Tbsp kosher salt tsp freshly ground black pepper

2

cup drained prepared horseradish cup sour cream zest and juice of 1 lemon tsp kosher salt

| Preparation | In a bowl using a spatula, fold together all ingredients.

Refrigerate until ready to use.

| Preparation | In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients.

BourBon marinaTed Flank sTeak This marinade is also great for skirt steak or chicken and yields about 1 cup.

A less-expensive bourbon works perfectly well.

Serves | 4 to 6 | 2 2 2 1 1 ½ 2 ½ 2-3

oz bourbon oz Worcestershire sauce oz soy sauce oz molasses or cane syrup tsp granulated garlic tsp onion powder tsp kosher salt, plus more for serving tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving lbs flank steak

| Preparation | In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients except steak. When ready to marinate, place steak in zip-close bag or nonreactive container, add marinade and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Over high heat, grill steaks 3 inches from heat source, 4 minutes per side for medium-rare meat. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.

To serve, slice steak thinly on diagonal, against grain. Finish with extra kosher salt or black pepper.
