CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE

SOCIETY THIS MONTH’S NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE places to be in St. Louis: Laumeier Sculpture Park. My love affair with Laumeier began years ago, when I discovered this vast playground during my high school years. So enthralled was I with the park’s surroundings that the summer following graduation, I volunteered at the Laumeier gift shop once a week just for the experience, as well as the opportunity to meet real-life artists— the epitome of ‘cool’ for a teenager who was hungry to embrace something more ‘grown-up.’ Strangely enough, now that I am a bona-fide grown-up, much of the time I spend at the park involves being ‘at play’—whether it’s a quiet hike with my husband through Mary Miss’ Pool Complex or Beverly Pepper’s Cromlech Glen; exploring with my little nephew from up above in Dré Wapenaar’s Treetent; or having the Muyco-Tobin dogs zipline and go through the canine village in Tea Mäkipää’s Not Without My Dog. Do you have a Laumeier story? Share it with me at editor@laduenews.com. Our Laumeier Sculpture Park feature begins on p. 17.

R T S A N D E D U C AT I O N Council’s Night at the Opera truly was an evening to remember. A wine reception and dinner, which was generously underwritten by board member and longtime supporter Barbara Goodman, was held prior to a performance of Champion, which unveiled its Opera Theatre of Saint Louis world premiere last month.

A Wildwood resident has been named the Co-Survivor of the Year at the annual Susan G. Komen Leadership Conference in Dallas. The award recognizes an individual who has helped a loved one dealing with cancer and has made a lasting impact on others. BEN DUMONT’s wife, Bridget, was 30 years old with two young children when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Dumont hosted multiple parties in his wife’s honor, including a ‘headshaving’ party at her salon and a surprise ‘Ta-ta to Your Ta-Tas’ party before her masectomy. Dumont also has helped support other men whose wives are battling breast cancer, including writing a book about his experiences titled, Pathway to Peace.

OLD NEWSBOYS DAY

Making a Difference for Kids BY LISA WATSON

OUNGSTERS WITH EMOTIONAL AND behavioral issues at Edgewood Children’s Center. Kids with hearing impairments at Central Institute for the Deaf. Families looking for a place to stay at St. Louis Transitional Hope House. These are just a few of the 250 nonprofits that benefit every year from funding provided by Old Newsboys Day. Founded in 1957 by Richard Amberg and Duncan Bauman of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the nonprofit’s central mission is to raise funds to support at-risk children in the St. Louis community. Since 1988, Suburban Journals has spearheaded this program, which recently received the National Award of Merit from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis for supporting its dental clinics and after-school programs. “I refer to us as being stewards, because it really belongs to the community,” says executive director Mary Ann Wagner. Each year, the program’s highlight is when volunteers from all around the community take to the streets and sell a special edition of the newspaper to raise funds for children’s charities. This year, the big day will take place on Nov. 21. “Children are our

passion as far as giving back is concerned. Getting up at 4 in the morning is a great sacrifice for us,” says chair emeritus Lou Brock with a laugh. “And it always seems to fall on the coldest Thursday of the year, but it’s the cause that drives us. We have a commitment to and compassion for children. Old Newsboys allows us to really reach out to a number of children at once.” Ray Farris, president and publisher of St. Louis Post-Dispatch and 2013 Old Newsboys chairman, has set a goal of raising $650,000 for children in need in this year’s campaign—but his desire is to go much higher. “This year, more than 250 grants were awarded to local children’s charities from the monies raised in last year’s campaign,” he says. “Unfortunately, the need was greater than what we raised, as more than $1 million of grant requests went unfilled. I have set a bold and ambitious goal for 2013 because no child should ever go without.” In addition to its signature event, Old Newsboys hosts exclusive events help get business leaders involved year-round, Wagner says. This year, those include an evening at Busch Stadium, as well as a special dinner where, “they get to meet some

amplify

people who are pretty exciting,” she notes. “It’s really important for the businesses to be involved, because we can’t raise enough money on the day of the event alone.” The community also can get involved by participating in the second annual Ralph Kaufman Memorial golf tournament and dinner auction, which helps put the organization ever closer to its goal. The dinner auction will take place at Orlando Gardens in Maryland Heights on Sunday, Aug. 11, with the tournament on Monday, Aug. 12 at Whitmoor Country Club in St. Charles. The event features a four-person scramble including a holein-one contest for a new car, and is co-chaired by former Creve Coeur mayor Harold Dielmann and Gloria Kaufman.

AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

When It Matters Most N ADDITION TO THE PHYSICAL AND emotional toll, facing a cancer diagnosis can be financially overwhelming. That’s why the American Cancer Society’s St. Louis office offers Hope Lodge, a 45-suite residence open to any cancer patient traveling to St. Louis for treatment. The free accommodations provide a respite for patients, who can take advantage of support from staff and volunteers, and interact with others also undergoing treatment. Next year, Hope Lodge will receive a major facelift to be funded in part by the Society’s first-ever Cattle Baron’s Ball in St. Louis. Guests can don their cowboy hats and boots for the Western-themed gala, set for Aug. 17 at Queeny Park in Ballwin. Complete with a buffet dinner provided by Butler’s Pantry, live music from country music group Borderline, casino and carnival games, and live and silent auctions, it will be a night to kick back and have fun, says Pam Krekeler, who is co-chairing the event, along with Richelle Weisbrod.

Laumeier Sculpture park By Julia Christensen

LAUMEIER SCULPTURE PARK PHOTOS BY SARAH CROWDER

MISSION: The self-proclaimed ‘living laboratory’ that is Laumeier Sculpture Park is focused on uniting contemporary artwork with the Missouri landscape. Throughout its 105 acres, the park welcomes some 300,000 visitors annually to enjoy the sculptures, facilities and lush grounds. HISTORY: Founded in 1976, Laumeier is the product of a generous gift by Matilda Laumeier, who left 72 acres of her estate to St. Louis County Parks in 1968, says executive director Marilu Knode. “In 1976, a group of community leaders were approached by Ernest Trova, who donated 40 artworks, and that’s what made it a sculpture park.” Since its creation, the park has grown in both square footage and creativity, as art activities, docent-guided tours, a library and indoor galleries have been added over the years. Recently, the park has expanded to include a pop-up facility, The Laumeier Patch, which travels from area neighborhoods to events, spreading its artistic mission. COMMUNITY IMPACT: As a public facility, Laumeier serves any interested community member by providing a unique cultural experience. “What’s wonderful about Laumeier is that it attracts people from a wide range of backgrounds,” Knode says. “There are people who come here specifically for the art, but there are people who come because it’s art in a beautiful landscape...And there are people who come to walk the landscape!” Even area dogs benefit from these pet-friendly grounds, which play host to the occasional Yappy Hour! event. Throughout the summer, Laumeier also houses children’s camps, which focus on both the natural surroundings and

WHAT/WHEN/WHERE: NIGHT VISIONS, OCT. 12, AT LAUMEIER SCULPTURE PARK Laumeier’s 2013 fall fundraiser will bring supporters outside to enjoy dinner, artwork, music, auctions and more beneath the autumn night sky. HOW TO GET INVOLVED: To become a member or find out more, call 615-5278 or visit laumeiersculpturepark.org.

creative outlets, like painting and sculpting. “We have a very good public/private partnership with St. Louis County Parks,” explains Knode. “They maintain the grounds and lend us the wide array of services within the county, and they also pay for some of our administrative staff. The other half is paid by the nonprofit, and that includes the bulk of the programming staff.” Supporting finances come from a variety of events, as well as museum memberships and gifts.

“Like all nonprofits, we’re very efficient with our money,” Knode explains. “Our primary focus is to support the mission, which is to give our audience the widest range of programming and activities as possible.” Two exhibits are shown per year, in addition to the iconic, longtime pieces. Presently, Laumeier is exhibiting A River Between Us: a collection focused on the relationship between St. Louis, New Orleans and the Mississippi River.

ON THE BOARD: DAVID SCHLAFLY At the request of a longtime arts philanthropist, David Schlafly joined the Laumeier Sculpture Park board. “I knew very little about contemporary sculpture, but I knew a lot about Ken Kranzberg, so I immediately wanted to say yes,” says Schlafly. Some seven years later, Schlafly is board chair. “I began to really enjoy being around people who are in the art world and create these amazing pieces that I may not understand—because they cause me to think about things differently.” A commercial real estate professional since 1987, Schlafly founded brokerage firm Schlafly Corporation in 1994. On top of owning the business, Schlafly does plenty of development work in St. Louis County, often transforming older pieces of property into commercial space—which helps to explain his passion for art. “Whether it’s good architecture, good planning or good landscaping,

when you do a project in real estate that is morethan-common, it causes people to want to be there,” he says. “Art is part of it—it’s what makes something unique and different.” With its lush landscape and thought-provoking work, Laumeier definitely provides one of those more-than-common destinations. “Amongst trees, it’s peaceful—very different than going into a museum with white walls and recycled air, looking at a piece against a wall. Here you get to sit on the grass, walk in the woods and experience some unique, sculptural pieces.” Outside of Laumeier, Schlafly is a Catholic Charities board member, City of Ladue Zoning Board of Adjustments member, City of Clayton Art Commission advisory member, Creve Coeur Economic Council chair and St. Louis County Business Retention Committee member. Previously, he graduated from Saint Louis Priory School and the University of Dallas. {LadueNews.com} July 5, 2013

Fashion Funding 2013 Key to the cure

Stephanie Carter is a woman who can’t sit still. At 21, she started her own clothing retail business called Deja Vu, which now has Florida locations in Panama City, Seaside and Key West, as well as Fairhope, Ala. Despite being surrounded by the latest and greatest styles in young women’s apparel, Carter often found herself wanting more for her and her customers. So she invested all of her talent, experience and passion into launching her clothing line, Judith March, in 2009. Her collection is comprised of young, contemporary clothing that is inspired by the feminine and bohemian styles of the past, while still feeling modern for today’s trend-savvy shopper. These tanks are a fun take on that inspiration: old logos and song lyrics printed on super-soft tanks that are perfect for summer casual wear.

One of the most wellknown fashion fundraisers is Saks Fifth Avenue’s Key To The Cure Campaign. Partnering w i t h t h e E n te r ta i n m e n t Industry Foundation, this campaign has raised more than $33 million for cancer research. Each year, Saks and EIF name an ambassador for the campaign, and for 2013, Jennifer Aniston has taken on the role. Fashion designer Peter Dundas of Emilio Pucci also has created a limitededition T-shirt that will benefit Key To The Cure and will retail for $35 at Saks stores and online. One hundred percent of the proceeds from each shirt sold will be donated to EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund. The T-shirt debuts at Saks on Oct. 1. “I’m so honored to join the Entertainment Industry Foundation and Saks Fifth Avenue in their continued efforts to raise funds for promising scientific research through EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund,” Aniston says. “My hope is that everyone will contribute to this worthy cause by purchasing a Key To The Cure T-shirt.”

“Wearable art” is how Suzanne Pace describes the jewelry, purses and other accessories that line the shelves of her boutique. Indeed, a visit to Pace Farias Collections feels very much like stepping into a museum gift shop—and that’s no coincidence. Pace previously enjoyed a long career in the art world, including a stint as director of The Sheldon Art Gallery. The shop, which opened in April, boasts a distinctly international flair, reflecting Pace’s time living abroad. From Athens, there are traditional Grecian sandals by Eleftheria; and from Milan, Francesca Evangelista’s leather handbags. Eye-catching scarves by Mexican designer Pineda Covalin may be worn in dozens of ways, ranging from a simple shawl to harem pants. “I want people to feel comfortable wearing something new,” Pace explains. Each item is one-of-akind and crafted by hand from all-natural materials, but her selections also carry deeper significance. For example, a closer look at what appears to be an abstract design reveals it to be based upon the markings of a monarch butterfly, and others draw inspiration from the Greek muses or Aztec mythology. One way or another, says Pace, “It all has a story.” 266 Plaza Frontenac, 983-0781, pacefariascollections.com Hours: Mon.-Fri. 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Sun. noon-6 p.m.

Q&A with Nettie Mueth of Medical Aesthetics RX

PHOTO BY BRYAN SCHRAIER

A Resale Store for the Entire Family We all love the summer sun, but by now you’ve heard the mantra: There’s no such thing as a healthy tan. That’s why we caught up with Nettie Mueth of Medical Aesthetics RX, and asked how we can enjoy our fun in the sun—without damaging our skin. We know we’re supposed to wear sunscreen and a hat, but what haven’t people heard about sun protection? Hats are wonderful to wear, but it has to have a large enough brim to cover the whole face. Visors and ball caps are only going to cover to the bridge of nose and upper cheeks, but the whole lower part of your face also needs to be protected. Also, most sun hats for women are wide-weaved hats with holes—that’s not good. You want a solid hat that won’t let any sun through. Sunscreen needs to be worn all year round, even in the winter time. The sun’s rays actually will penetrate haze or fog, so the only time you shouldn’t be wearing sunscreen is when it’s so dark you need a flashlight. You also need to re-apply almost every two hours—unless you’re sweating or getting wet, then it should be sooner. Plus, the sun’s rays are stronger when they penetrate through glass, so you get more UV damage when you’re driving. The same is true when light bounces off sand, water, concrete and snow. When you tan, your body is actually protecting itself. To help the skin do its job, you should wear a minimum of 30 SPF, and it should be broad spectrum so it covers UVA and UVB rays. Do you recommend using a moisturizer or makeup with built-in SPF, or a separate product? You really do need a separate product, because most makeup has a 15 SPF. That’s not going to do it for you, you need at least 30 and reapply regularly. The other thing to worry about is the lips: Lip gloss will reflect sun and make the lips more susceptible to burning. Find a lip gloss or balm with an SPF. How much sunscreen should you apply? For the whole body, you’re looking at about an ounce, and about a quarter-size on your face. You should also wait at least 30 minutes to go out so it penetrates and protects your skin. Even with that, it still helps to avoid the sun in peak hours—between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. What else should be part of your routine to protect from sun damage? In a daily routine, sunscreen on the face and neck should be an automatic thing. Also, prior to using sunscreen and your foundation, if you use a serum with Vitamin C or green tea extract, it will actually help buffer against the elements. It works together with the sunscreen. Plus Vitamin C not only has antioxidants, it’s also a skin lightener and helps eliminate bacteria that lead to breakouts. Do after-sun products mitigate the damage at all? No, it’s more of a comfort thing. Aloe will be your go-to if you’re sunburned: It takes heat out of skin. Most of the products also have moisturizers because a sunburn dehydrates the skin. But it’s not going to make the damage go away.

Where I Take My Grandkids

BY LISA WATSON

Time spent with grandparents is a treasure that many kids carry with them for the rest of their lives. And the feeling is mutual, as some local grandmas tell us. Here, we ask them about their favorite ways to spend a day with their grandkids—in St. Louis and beyond.

Dr. James and Nanci Bobrow with granddaughters Leila and Abigail at the Saint Louis Zoo.

Nanci Bobrow Number of grandchildren: 3 Ages: 10 months to 9 Nanci and Dr. James Bobrow’s two granddaughters live in the Washington, D.C., area, so when they visit St. Louis, they want to hit the highlights. On their most recent trip this February, that meant a trip to the Saint Louis Zoo. “We lucked out and had a 64-degree day in February,” Nanci Bobrow says. “The train was even running.” The girls, ages 9 and 7, were visiting on their own for the first time, and were set to lead the way. “They loved the new sea lion tunnel, the Endangered Species Carousel, the butterflies and the Insectarium, everything!” Another highlight of the visit was a girls’ day out, where Bobrow took the girls to a ‘Ladies’ Lunch’ at Neiman Marcus. “They had things to cater to the children, we had the little consommé in a cup and popovers with strawberry butter, and they gave us a coloring book with the story of the popovers and mazes and fill-in puzzles. We got compliments on how nicely they behaved, so we all enjoyed it.” The girls’ afternoon was rounded out with special manicures. The family also visited The Magic House, where the girls enjoyed climbing the Magic Bean Stalk and taking the slide back to the bottom, among other attractions. “It helps me remember when my children were young and I took them to all those things,” Bobrow says. They also visited Fountain on Locust, where they sampled the world’s smallest ice cream cone, and Crown Candy Kitchen, where the sandwiches were a big hit. All in all, Bobrow can’t wait for their next visit, when a return trip to the Arch is on the agenda. “It’s wonderful as a grandparent to watch the children and experience the world through their eyes.”

Alice Handelman’s family celebrates her birthday.

Alice Handelman Number of Grandchildren: 4 Ages: 11 to 15 Affectionately known as ‘grammy’ and ‘saba’ by their grandkids, Alice and Howard Handelman are pleased to have all four grandchildren living in St. Louis. “We’re blessed that they’re all healthy, they do well in school and they’re affectionate kids,” Alice Handelman says. The family visits all of St. Louis’ big draws— from the Saint Louis Zoo to the Missouri Botanical Garden, Saint Louis Art Museum and more. Handelman also raves about the area’s many multi-cultural neighborhoods, such as a recent trip to The Hill, which she visited with Cande, an exchange student from Argentina who became part of the family this past semester. “I tried to explain the Italian culture to her,” Handelman says. “St. Louis offers so many opportunities for grandparents to enjoy their grandchildren.” She adds that the family’s special togethertime, apart from weekly Sunday dinners, is an annual family trip. “Children today are so busy, whether it’s dancing, or going to Craft Alliance for glass-blowing or making ceramics, or playing soccer or tennis. Fitting grandparents in is kind of hard.” Past trips have included a cruise in Alaska, where the kids hunted for King crabs; white-water rafting and hiking in Breckenridge, Colo.; a trip to Morro Bay, Calif., where they visited Pismo Beach to see the migrating Monarch butterflies; and a spring break trip this year to Destin, Fla. The Destin trip happened to fall during Passover, Handelman says. “We went to the grocery store and bought everything we needed to have a Seder in the home we were renting. That was very meaningful, and it was nice that Cande got to be part of it, too.”

Fran Zamler and her grandchildren at The Muny.

Fran Zamler Number of grandchildren: 13 Ages: 3 to 17 From their 3-year-old twin girls to the senior at Ladue, Fran Zamler considers her grandchildren “the most precious jewels in life. Nothing in the world makes me happier than being with them.” With such a big family, there’s a wide range of interests, she says, but one thing everyone agrees on—especially the girls—is a love of musicals. Whether it’s at The Muny, Peabody, the Fox or STAGES, every trip is a treat. “We saw The Rockettes at the Peabody last year, and it was fabulous,” Zamler says. “I had never seen it before and I took four or five of the girls, and they loved it. It was one of the highlights of our theatrical experiences.” The girls’ other favorite pastime is shopping, Zamler notes, especially Sweet & Sassy, a salon and spa at West County Mall geared toward kids. When the whole family is coming along, they often enjoy fishing at Creve Coeur Lake, or boating, Zamler says. They also enjoy going to Fairmount Park for the horses, especially with grandpa Steve. “My kids and grandkids have grown up around horses, so they get a kick out of that.” Other favorite spots include BounceU, which features giant inflatables and bounce rooms; and Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park in Chesterfield. When the family gets together at home, the highlight is often fashion shows that the kids put on with clothes from the basement. “My background has been in fashion and I’ve kept everything,” Zamler says. “So the boys will come up in hats and the girls in lace skirts.” Zamler says one of her favorite things is being with her ‘angel babies.’ “I always tell them, I love you to the moon and stars and sky and all around the world. There’s an old quote I read, and it’s true: A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.”

Time to Unplug By Russell Hyken, Ph.D.

own a lot of things with screens— maybe too many. In addition to my work computer and laptop, I also have a TV at my office, in the bedroom, and in the bathroom as I need to watch the news while brushing my teeth. And, I own an iPhone, as well as multiple iPads. In fact, as I look around the house, it is safe to say that my old iPads never really die, they just get recycled into expensive room clocks and personal gaming devices. Owning multiple devices is the new norm. My kids, like their friends, have several hand-held accessories, a variety of gaming consoles, a DVR to watch their favorite TV shows and a couple of old laptops. My wife, the most streamlined of us, still owns a smart phone, iPad and laptop. Despite these easily available distractions, the family does a good job managing tech use. We have many outside interests, including sports, performing arts and reading (on a Kindle, of course), but it would be difficult to survive without easy access to our devices. The influence technology has on our brains, relationships, sleeping patterns and moods is a prevalent topic in mental health research. While there is no definitive answer that tells us exactly how technology impacts our children, professionals

know that overuse negatively affects attention, sleep and development. Furthermore, doctors are seeing electronically addicted teens who are suffering from screen withdrawal and are forgoing other fun activities in favor of staying connected. These same problems also impact adults who have the additional stress of business connectivity issues. With fierce competition in the workplace, many fear their success opportunities will be compromised if they don’t respond during all hours of the day and night. This work theory, however, may actually make one less useful as the brain needs time to recharge in order to operate at maximum efficiency. Additionally, multitasking tech demands with face-to-face interactions leads one to become more impulsive and more likely to take risks. In some ways, technology hurts as much as it helps. Most adults and children would benefit from learning how to better manage their tech use, and summertime is the perfect time to start a digital diet. Consider planning a vacation with firm tech boundaries that limit electronic use. Don’t, however, make the detox decision without consulting the family and realize that going cold turkey is probably unrealistic. Accept that you will need to make some compromises, especially

if teenagers are part of your crew. With a little advance planning, however, it should be easy to get everyone to agree to unplug, especially if you plan something fun or adventurous. Once home or if you are not traveling, summer is still an excellent time to rethink your digital attitude. How you approach your children about computer use depends on their age. Younger kids are easy to distract, so influence their tech time by offering something different to do. Most kids younger than 8 are happy to engage in a creative endeavor if a parent or sibling will participate. Creating other interests and free time expectations is the best way to manage future overuse. If your kids are older, parents still can influence without arguing, but some ground rules need to be established. No technology or TV during mealtimes, specific unplugged hours, and power off curfews are responsible requests. Additionally, I encourage families to reinforce that media use is a privilege and not a right—kids should earn their access. Once chores are completed, homework is finished and the piano is practiced, screen time is a great way to decompress. If family expectations are reasonable, kids not only will accept new rules, but may actually appreciate parentally imposed household structure. OK, we all know that when we plug in, we also tune out. Your new media plan, however, does not require you to sledgehammer the computer; rather, it means embracing organization and time management. Your kids may accuse you of being out of touch with technological times, but they will do so while looking you in the eye and not while they texting their friends.

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

e’ve finally gotten some consistently dry and warm weather, so the kids are ready to play outside! While we always say it’s important to get fresh air, it’s also important to be aware of possible dangers that exist outdoors for kids of all ages. As parents and grandparents, we can’t prevent all accidents but we can take steps to reduce the risks. My colleague, Dr. Donna Eckardt, is the medical director of the pediatric emergency department at Mercy Children’s Hospital. She sees her share of injuries resulting from many common backyard enhancements, especially during the warmer months. PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT is a source of many injuries. When installing playground equipment, make certain it’s on level ground, put together securely and firmly anchored to the ground. Choose age-appropriate options when selecting a set for your family. Broken bones are common injuries from TRAMPOLINES. The American Academy of Pediatrics opposes the use of trampolines in a home setting due to the high risk of injury. If you do have a trampoline, check to see that the springs are in working order and the vertical safety netting is secure. Also, set specific rules with your children, such as having adult supervision at all times and allowing only one person to jump at a time. SWIMMING POOLS can lead to drowning and submersion injuries. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, more than 300 children younger than 5 years old drown—and 2,000 more visit emergency rooms for submersion injuries—every year. Take precautions, including installing a fence or wall around the pool, door alarms for the house and a power safety cover over the pool. SANDBOXES can lead to insect bites and possible allergic reactions. When purchasing sand, it’s important to check labels and only use sand meant for play. Other sand can be harmful to your child. Cover the sandbox when not in use to deter critters and make sure there’s proper drainage to prevent insect breeding. WEATHER-related injuries are rare, but be cautious when you see lightning. During the weather transition in the spring, thunderstorms are common and come with the risk of lightning strikes. The National Weather Service has a motto: When thunder roars, go indoors. The safest thing to do when a storm approaches is to go inside until it passes.

Indoors or out, there is no substitute for supervision. While kids need time for free play and to choose their activities, make sure – especially for younger children – there’s always an adult present. Dr. Joseph Kahn is president of Mercy Children’s Hospital Services and Dr. Donna Eckardt is the medical director of the pediatric emergency department.

Summer Skin Protection

Sun Smarts By Connie Mitchell

un safety is important for everyone, especially during the summer months of intense sunlight and frequent sun exposure, but children’s skin is more sensitive than adults’, making careful protection of kids’ skin particularly necessary. “A child’s skin is up to five times thinner than adults’ and is much more sensitive. It is therefore crucial to protect children from overexposure to sun, which can put them at risk for sunburn and its consequences of early aging and skin cancer,” says Dr. Patrice Mathews with Mercy Clinic Pediatrics and Mercy Children’s Hospital. Parents seeking to protect their children should understand that slapping on a bit of sunscreen before going to the pool is not enough. “If a baby is less than 6 months of age, the best protection is to keep them out of the sun, either in the shade or with protective clothing,” advises Dr. Heidi Sallee, a pediatrician on staff at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. Toddlers and older children should be protected with liberal coatings of sunscreen,

and those formulated and labeled specifically for children usually are a good choice. “Parents should look for PABA-free and fragrance-free sunscreens. Good choices are sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. It should also be a ‘broad spectrum’ sunscreen, meaning that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays,” Sallee says. Sun protection factor (SPF) refers to UVB protection and should be at least 15. Once a parent has chosen a good broad-spectrum sunscreen, the same rules for application apply to children and adults. Using an ample amount to cover all exposed skin, the sunscreen should be rubbed in well at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Regardless of the SPF, it should be reapplied every two hours, especially when swimming or sweating. And don’t forget to apply sunscreen even on overcast days because ultraviolet rays pierce cloud cover. UVA and UVB

rays are most direct between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so special caution is needed. Another good idea for children (and adults) is to wear sun-protective clothing. “Children should get in the habit of wearing wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and tight-weave clothing,” says Dr. Julia Mayer, a pediatrician with St. Louis Pediatric Associates at St. Luke’s Hospital. “Clothing labeled with SPF protection often loses its effectiveness with repeated washing. Also, kids should frequently stay in shaded areas during the day.” If, despite everything, your child does get sunburned, basic first aid will help decrease discomfort. “The best way to treat a sunburn is cool compresses and acetaminophen,” Mathews says. “A more serious sunburn can cause blisters, fever, chills and headache—the child should be seen by a medical professional.”

Juvenile Arthritis

Proper Treatment is Key By Connie Mitchell

rthritis is generally considered a disease of the older population, but about 294,000 children younger than 18 have some type of arthritis, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. There are several subsets of juvenile arthritis that fall under the umbrella term ‘juvenile ideopathic arthritis’ (JIA). The first clue many parents have that something is amiss occurs when the child appears to limp or suffer stiffness after getting out of bed in the morning. “Juvenile arthritis presents with joint swelling, stiffness in the morning or after rest, or limp. It may be mildly painful but is often painless,” says Dr. Kevin Baszis, a pediatric rheumatologist with Washington University Physicians. “These symptoms must be present for at least six weeks to diagnose a child with JIA. This six-week time point is chosen because a temporary arthritis can be seen after certain infections or reactions to medications, and this temporary arthritis typically resolves in less than six weeks and does not become chronic.” Although it is not known why some children develop JIA, it is a form of autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, causing the symptoms. “We can say with some certainty 30

July 5, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

that autoimmune diseases seem to have a genetic predisposition, meaning that certain people are just programmed by their DNA to be at higher risk for developing one. However, we also think that this programming usually is not enough to cause an autoimmune disease. There must be some trigger,” says Dr. Brad Ornstein, a specialist in pediatric infectious disease and rheumatology with Mercy Children’s Hospital. Autoimmune triggers are a mystery, but some researchers suspect that viral or bacterial infections may play a role. Others surmise that environmental factors, such as trauma or stress, activate the autoimmune process. Beyond joint swelling and stiffness, children with JIA are more likely to experience uveitis, or inflammation of the eyes. “Similar to JIA, this eye inflammation is autoimmune in nature,” Baszis says. “Uveitis is often asymptomatic, and for this reason, children with JIA must have frequent eye exams by an ophthalmologist, as often as every three months.” The good news is that JIA can be treated and most children with the disease are able to enjoy all the typical activities of childhood. “The goal of therapy in this day and age is complete remission,” Ornstein says. “For all intents and purposes, JIA is

not ‘curable’ at this point. However, many children are able to live basically disease-free and off of all medications after an initial period of therapy.” A healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise are recommended, but little evidence exists to support the efficacy of specific alternative therapies or Continued on page 69

HEALTH & WELLNESS

ORTHOTICS

Step into Comfort I

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

F YOUR FEET HURT, IT MAY SEEM A SIMPLE solution to purchase an over-the-counter orthotic device—the shoe inserts that come in various shapes and sizes and promise to relieve your aching feet. But the orthotics displayed in your local drugstore may not help and may even cause more problems, say local podiatrists. Opinions vary about the potential harm an over-the-counter orthotic shoe insert can cause, but experts agree that you’re better off to seek professional advice about the underlying cause of foot pain. “It should be noted that the machine that is available in some stores to help people evaluate which insert may be best for them without the guidance of a professionally trained individual can be misleading and result in being matched with an

inadequate insert,” says Dr. Alissa Duncan, a podiatrist with Foot Healers. “Guidance for choosing the proper OTC orthotic devices should be done with the assistance of a trained professional, such as a podiatrist, who can help determine the foot type and which device should be purchased.” Although Duncan does not believe using an inappropriate orthotic will cause lasting damage, Dr. Michael Horwitz, a podiatrist with Feet for Life Podiatry Centers, disagrees by saying, “Orthotics weaken feet 100 percent of the time,” he says. “This is the trade off. Do you want weaker feet?” he asks. “Read the book, Born to Run, by Christopher McDougall. Or just go online and visit the minimalist shoe websites. Once you learn the truth about orthotics, you may want to get a few more opinions from professionals who understand the reasons why they can cause so much harm.” Horwitz considers orthotics ‘convalescent devices.’ “Advanced arthritis and severe dysfunction of the posterior tibial tendon are good reasons to have orthotics. Older people that are sedentary do fine with them. But a younger person with a normal arch can be made much worse with orthotics use,” he says. Not everyone is a candidate for orthotics, agrees Dr. Steven Frank, a podiatrist on staff at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “But many people can benefit from them,” he notes. “If you are having

pain, aching or fatigue in your feet; if you have preexisting or developing foot or toe deformities; are significantly overweight, are diabetic, o r h a ve o t h e r certain skin lesions, y o u might benefit from orthotics.” Frank also agrees that professional assessment is the best route for determining if orthotics are needed and choosing the best type. “Improperly fitting or sized orthotics can make some conditions worse, or even cause sores or blisters that could lead to infections,” he says. “We base orthotic prescriptions on the given conditions, age and weight of patient, type of shoe-gear utilized, and various co-morbidities, such as diabetes, neuropathy or poor circulation. For instance, diabetics will typically need a softer, accommodative orthotic to offload pressure or callus points and prevent sores on the feet. Younger patients may need a more rigid device to help correct alignment or deformities.” Continued on page 69

Durable, yet attractive, the Stone Fabricators’ white granite countertops and backsplash, a distressed Craft Art black walnut wooden island top and distressed Mouser custom cabinetry painted in French putty and sage green were selected to suit this busy family of seven who also loves to entertain guests. • WIDE OPEN SPACES. To keep the kitchen open and airy, a wall of custom windows overlooking the lush backyard, hideaway Sub-Zero, Wolf and Asko appliances, and a warm graphite paint hue were added.

hile traveling in Italy, a Des Peres family fell in love with the Carrara marble that filled the bathroom in their luxury hotel. Kelly Layton, a designer with Mosby Building Arts, helped the couple capture the soothing tranquility of an Old World Italian bath with stunning touches of contemporary elegance. • MARVELOUS MARBLE. From the tile floor and walls to the walk-in shower, sleek and smooth White Venatino polished marble covers almost every inch of the luxury bath. • CUSTOM CABINETRY. The elegance continues with separate custom-built vanities made of poplar wood with Carrara marble countertops. • UPSCALE ACCENTS. Access Lighting’s Phoebe Modern/ Contemporary wall sconces shine on the room’s brushed nickel accents, such as Artos Quarto front-flow lavatory faucets on Kohler Verticyl undermount oval-shaped lavatory sinks, and a Hansgrohe Raindance S150 Air showerhead.

hen a young family returned to the States after spending several years in Shanghai, China, they brought back authentic Asian pieces to incorporate into the design of their modern Des Peres home. Michael Wyrock, a senior design consultant for I. O. Metro, helped bring the home’s Asianinspired living room to life. • ASIAN ACCESSORIES. At Niche, the homeowner found a pillow with a red, gray, black and white color scheme she loved that also tied together their Asian accessories, including artwork, sculptures and a cabinet with a hidden desk. A red leather ottoman and two high-back brown chairs from I.O. Metro, and a sofa from Niche, were added to complete the look. • MOOD LIGHTING. To set the mood for relaxation and conversation, floor-to-ceiling suspension lighting was added to either side of the room—continuing the Asian theme with its bamboo-like appearance. • TEXTURED TREATMENTS. Enlisted to update the living room’s paint colors, The Design Deli Decorative Paint Company added a stria texture of metallic and gray tones for movement and hue changes throughout the day.

his Town & Country master suite is “high-quality, low-adrenaline,” says designer Tim Rohan, explaining that both homeowners work stressful jobs and requested a Zen, spalike retreat. The easy-on-the-eyes color palate of off-white and turquoise is repeated throughout the room to keep the relaxation flowing. •BEAUTIFUL BED. The headboard is a custom-designed, custom-upholstered piece in silk with a turquoise vermicelli pattern, finished and detailed with a French Houlès trim—the same worldrenowned brand used throughout the room, says Rohan. The down pillows are lush and relaxing; the bed skirt is perfectly tailored, and ties the entire bed together. •TRANQUIL TURQUOISE. Other furniture pieces include a simple off-white sofa that has turquoise and off-white throw pillows, as well as an off-white chair, all resting on turquoise carpet. The night stands are skirted with woven turquoise fabric and hold antique iron lamps. •AN INVITATION TO LOUNGE. Simple turquoise details adorn the theater-style wall of drapery, which features a valance and engulfs the bedroom’s bay window; it adds a lot of drama without being shocking. “The window brings in so much light, and gives the clients the ability to lounge in bed on the weekend and read the newspaper during those unrushed moments,” Rohan says.

ith pattern and color peppered throughout, this très feminine bedroom suite was designed for an 8-year-old girl. “We wanted it to be youthful, fun and energetic,” says designer Jane Ganz of Directions In Design, Inc. This lounge is connected to the bedroom, which features similar prints and shades for cohesiveness. •LOUNGE AWAY. Near the television sits two chairs, a large ottoman and a sleeper-sofa, which makes this area perfect for slumber parties now and hangouts later. “I think the interesting variety of contrasting colors and shapes will be long-lasting for her,” Ganz says. •CIRCLES GALORE. In the bedroom, a patterned circular pink rug sits atop the light carpeting and below the foot of the bed and ottoman, both of which feature circle-print patterns. “It was a play on circles,” Ganz says. Circles are also featured throughout both rooms in other areas, ranging from the chair cushions to the wall mirror. •CAPTIVATING COLLECTIONS. The lounge features ample storage, including a large bookshelf and entertainment center. The most sentimental pieces from the young girl’s former doll collection are showcased amid functional items such as a television and globe. As her preferences change, so can the decor, thanks to the open shelving.

The Ultimate Outdoor Space By Lisa Watson

PHOTOS COURTESY OF POYNTER LANDSCAPE.

his backyard nook in a Frontenac home was a design challenge from the start, with a 10-plus-foot wall towering over the small space. Richard Poynter of Poynter Landscape tells us how he and his team turned a towering wall into the focal point of an intimate, comfortable space. • Outdoor Art: The trick with landscape is to take advantage of assets that sometimes appear to be deterrents, Poynter says. “We wanted to do something art-related on one wall because we had this bit palette, so to speak.” Three granite slabs were affixed to the wall and outfitted as water features, allowing a curtain of water to cascade down. Planters sitting on top use seasonal flowers that add color, while vines will grow to frame the granite. • Lighting the Way: The icing on top of this space is the ‘ceiling’ created by colored lights. “The walls were pretty tall, so it felt like it kept going up and up, even though it was enclosed,” Poynter notes. “This made it more intimate.” The lights create a soft ambient light and colors can be changed out seasonally. • Flagstone Foundation: “The problem prior to the renovation was that the area was so enclosed and didn’t drain well, so it was damaging the previous floor,” Poynter says. The new floor is made from flagstone, and uses varied elevations to help water drain away from the house. • Playing with Fire: A fire pit serves as the focal point for an intimate central seating area. “Fire is a gathering point for everybody,” Poynter says. “You can have all the video games in the world, but you cannot stop an 8-year-old from poking a fire with a stick. That’s one thing that is still the way it was 500 years ago.” • A Step Above: Raised planting beds mean that ground cover doesn’t need much height to have an impact. Adding more interest is a locust tree, which will grow to be open and airy rather than dense and shady, providing a level of enclosure without suffocating the small space.

The Ultimate Pool

his Chesterfield family without kids wanted a space to entertain adult visitors and business clients. Liquid Assets’ John Jacobsen tells us about the features they used to achieve it: • Reserved Seating: A pool-edge bar with underwater stools is shaded by an umbrella, providing the perfect spot for guests to relax with a cool drink. Underwater limestone seats are uncommon in St. Louis, and were built with indigenous Missouri stone from Earthworks. • A Quick Dip: Steps stretch all the way across the edge of the pool rather than just a corner, giving guests a comfortable place to sit without getting fully wet. • No End to the Fun: The L-shape of the pool divides the deep-end diving area from the shallow end. “That’s the play end, and then there’s the hangout side with the bar—it’s the best of both worlds,” Jacobsen says. • The Saltwater Scene: The saltwater pool avoids many of the downsides associated with chlorine—such as exposure to chemicals, maintenance, and damage to skin and hair. “The salt doesn’t burn your eyes like chlorine used to and it doesn’t smell like it used to either,” Jacobson notes. “Almost 100 percent of our pools now are saltwater. Coming in, a lot of people don’t understand it or think they can afford it, but there are a lot of benefits.”

The Ultimate Organized Space

By Julia Christensen

he laundry room of this Webster Groves century home did not lose the stylish aspects of its age during its update, and now features beautiful appliances, vintage-inspired details and storage galore. Designer Wendy Kuhn of Karr Bick Kitchen + Bath says she wanted to distract from the utilitarian washer and dryer, so she worked to give pieces in the room a furniture feel by focusing on details like the show-stopping sink, faucet and backsplash. •ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE. The kitchen is right off the laundry space, says Kuhn, so the accent color from the kitchen was continued. The cabinetry is the same shade as the homeowners’ kitchen island, and features that Old-World look. “There are pocket doors, so when people are over, they can slide them shut so no one sees the utilitarian aspect of the room.” •KEEP IT CLEAN. The homeowners have five children, ranging from preschool- to college-aged, so there is a lot of time spent doing laundry, Kuhn says. “We wanted the ironing board in the space, but hidden.” Similarly, a trash can was tucked out of sight. •FABULOUS FLOORS. Kuhn says the flooring is one of her favorite parts of the room. The homeowners were quite adamant about staying with the style original to the house, she explains. “These are glazed terra cotta tiles that have a brick shape, and they’re laid in that pattern for added interest, as well as to look like something that would have been in this house when it was originally built.”

The Ultimate Wine Cellar By Julia Christensen

esigner Brian Hartsfield of Redwood Wine Cellars transformed the basement of this Ballwin home into any wine connoisseur’s dream. Located in a temperaturecontrolled room, this large wine cellar can comfortably store both bottles and cases. “The multitude of bottle storage options within the space gives variation in the design,” says Hartsfield. “The diamonds fit irregularly shaped bottles and draw interest.” •GOOD WOOD. Sapele wood, a member of the mahogany family, is used throughout the space. “Sapele comes from Africa, and it’s all quarter-sawn,” says Hartsfield. “This wood is commonly used in guitars and exterior doors, because of both its beautiful grain and the fact that it doesn’t warp.” •SIP AND SAVOR. The tasting area features a barrel on a lazy Susan; when spun, the look changes from a rustic barrel to open storage. Resting on top is a backlit onyx tabletop, which provides illumination and aesthetic interest. The functional area below adds convenient space to store additional bottles, as well as glasses, openers and accessories. •ARCH HIGHLIGHTS. The cellar is highlighted by not just the tasting area, but the four arched focal points. Each of the arches has a puck—or small, recessed—light on a dimmer switch to provide customized illumination to the focal areas. The deep archways are entirely wrapped in wood, and allow the homeowners to display up to a 6.0 liter bottle.

WADSWORTH ATHENEUM

BY ALAN E. BRAINERD

CCORDING TO Merriam-Webster, THE word ‘atheneum’ means a building or room in which books, periodicals and newspapers are kept for use. The Greeks included ‘arts’ in their definition, as well. So if you connect both definitions, the word aptly describes the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Arts. Construction began in 1842, under the design brilliance of Alexander Jackson Davis and Ithiel Town. The oldest continually running museum in the country, the Atheneum is built on the original site of Daniel Wadsworth’s home in downtown Hartford, Conn. Being an ‘old’ and wealthy family, it only made sense that the Wadsworths would make the first major contributions to the institution (78 paintings, two marble busts, one portrait miniature and a bronze sculpture). Fastforward to today, and the collection now has more than 50,000 works of art that span 5,000 years, with some pieces dating to Greek and Roman times. Very wealthy donors have followed the 52

JULY 5, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

generosity of the Wadsworths and have, over time, made major contributions to the collection. The Goodwin and Morgan families began a four-year campaign in 1889 for renovation and expansion. Samuel Colt’s widow, Elizabeth Hart Jarvis Colt, left 1,000-plus items to the museum, which included the couple’s extensive Hudson River artists collection, not to mention the vast firearm collection that they held. How wonderful to have J. Pierpont Morgan as a native son! Gifts from the Morgan family in the early 1900s include ancient bronzes, majolica, ivories, silver gilt, Meissen, Sevres and the Wallace Nutting collection of American ‘Pilgrim Century’ furniture and decorative arts. Frank Sumner established a fund in memory of his wife and sister-in-law in 1927. The timing of this fund was ideal as the museum hired its first director, A. Everett ‘Chick’ Austin Jr. At a sage age of 26, Chick became the museum’s first leader and held the position for 17 years. It was a combination of Sumner’s money and

Austin’s vision that enabled the Atheneum to be the first museum in America to bring in such artists as Caravaggio, Miro, Mondrian, Balthus, Harnett, Cornell and Dali. These resulted in the first Baroque and Surrealist shows, as well as the first Picasso retrospective in the United States. Austin and his wife, Helen, hosted many events at their home in Hartford. Their classically designed manor was inspired by homes the couple had seen in Italy, and has hosted the likes of Gertrude Stein, Agnes de Mille, Salvador Dali, Alexander Calder, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Virgil Thomson. Clearly, it was Austin’s vision that put the Atheneum on the map. In 1985, his family donated the house to the museum. The Wadsworth Atheneum exists today because of a family’s desire to leave something for their community, as well as leadership and staff who work tirelessly to preserve and expand its collection, and of course, a public that yearns to stretch their experience of knowledge related to the arts.

DIVERSIONS BRANDON BOLLIG

Capturing the Cup BY FRANK CUSUMANO

T HAPPENED TWO DAYS AFTER THE Stanley Cup: Dale Bollig was talking to his son, Brandon, who had just won the cup with the Chicago Blackhawks. He asked his son, What’s the goal now? In high school, it was to get to college. In college, it was to get to training camp. In training camp, it was to make the team. When you made the team, the goal was to win the Stanley Cup—you’ve done that. What is the next goal?

Brandon Bollig is the first St. Louis-area high school kid to have his name on the Stanley Cup. The Francis Howell North graduate is a rugged 26-year-old forward. He is a tough guy but has some skill, scoring 37 goals in three years in the USHL and amassing almost 600 penalty minutes. Bollig has big plans when he gets the Stanley Cup to town for one day this summer: He’ll bring

the sporting world’s most treasured trophy to a children’s hospital, as well as a public showing where fans can take their picture with the trophy. He will then have a private get-together with friends and family. Just imagine how many kids have grown up playing hockey in our town’s history, but there is only one with his name on that trophy. The hockey dream is a difficult one: The rink times are often before the sun rises, equipment is expensive, and the travel is brutal. And in the end, only a select few ever get a chance to make it to the NHL. Bollig made it. And now, he’s a Stanley Cup champion. We talked after he got some sleep following the celebration: Describe it when you held the cup that night in Boston. I didn’t think it was real. My hands were getting sweaty, I didn’t want to drop it. You see it for all these years, and then, it’s in your hands. How did you party? I got to bed about 11 a.m. the next day. As soon as we landed, fire trucks started spraying the plane with water. There were huge crowds in the runway. We hopped on a bus and went to Harry Caray’s. The scene was insane—hundreds were there. Then we took a bus downtown to a bar. We brought all of our families. The most emotional moment of the week? I didn’t come close to crying right after the game. But when we were waiting in the tunnel for our families, I saw my mom, Tracy, and my sister, Brittany, who is 23. My mom started hugging me and started crying. It was really tough to hold back then. She and my dad did everything for me. They spent money we didn’t have so I could play hockey and travel. What does it mean to be the only player from the area to have your name on the Stanley Cup? It means a lot. It hasn’t happened for the Blues, but it’s a big hockey town. The fans love the game. And I grew up idolizing Brett Hull and Brendan Shanahan.

5 THOUGHTS:

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

1. Albert Pujols says he’s bitter at the Cardinals’ front office. Great player, good family man and he does lot for charity. But please, they gave him $100 million and offered another $200 million to stay. The Cardinals did nothing wrong. 2. The most interesting question surrounding the Cardinals’ upcoming off-season will be the Carlos Beltran dilemma. The assumption has always been Beltran out, Oscar Taveres in. But how do you let the best rightfielder in the game just leave? Many expensive contracts are going off the books, I think you have to make an offer. 3. You must must try: The Village Bar for a cheeseburger, Gioia’s for a salami sandwich, fried chicken at Friendlys, smoked wings at J. Buck’s, and a BLT at Crown Candy. 4. Bill McDermott is one of our town’s best sportscasters. He knows more about soccer than any sportscaster knows about any sport in St. Louis. You don’t have to be a fan of soccer to watch Bill—just enjoy this broadcasting treasure. 5. How come every movie nowadays has to be some wild, computer-generated imagery? I know it’s about summer blockbusters, but every one of them is the same—all crazy and far-fetched. Give me some believable dialogue and drama. Give me The Verdict and Absence of Malice. Gosh, I am old.

Unreliable and second-hand gossip from around the world* EMMA WATSON

The Harry Potter star-turned-A-lister said in a recent interview that she led a very quiet, sheltered life as a child. She claims she didn’t even realize she was a Hollywood celebrity until she got to college. See? That has to be a cultural thing. Watson was raised in Great Britain. In America, it takes most kids ’til college to realize they’re not a big deal.

KYLIE JENNER The youngest of the Kardashian klan was spotted with her family at the Justin Bieber concert in Los Angeles last week. Immediately following the show, the teen tweeted adoring messages and posted Instagram pics for the Biebs. One can only assume Kylie is laying the groundwork for mother Kris’ master plan to marry her to the pop star, kill his music career, get them a reality show and consume his soul on a televised basic cable special.

HENRY CAVILL The British sensation gave an interview last week where he discussed his grooming habits and consequently those of his character, Superman. He was quoted saying that he didn’t over-groom for the role and that this Man of Steel has body hair. Frankly, it’s a relief. I mean, Superman would be hard-pressed to explain to the dumbstruck crowd that he wasn’t able to save the train from plummeting into the canyon because his waxing appointment ran long.

PAULA DEEN The Food Network mainstay is in hot water after a handful of business partners terminated their relationship with the Southern-fried chef due to claims that she used racial slurs in the past. Deen aggravated the situation by admitting her indiscretion on The TODAY Show last week, causing more endorsement deals to be cancelled. Well, at least her publicist has learned a valuable lesson: Unless there is something for Deen to butter, salt, batter and deep-fry, the talk show circuit is a no.

Slow News Day

REMEMBER DISTINCTLY THE DAY I MOVED from New York City to Charlottesville, Va., for graduate school. I sat in a cookie-cutter apartment in a nondescript complex with an incongruously charming name and twiddled my thumbs. Rather than unpack boxes, I decided to explore my new stomping grounds. As I walked around the town’s hub, known as The Corner, I spied a stack of newspapers on a checkout counter. What better way to start acclimating than to read about the goings-on in my new home? During my time in New York, I had ridden the subway to some extraordinary headlines. (On a side note, I talked about New York like I was born and raised there for about a month until a guy in my section from Park Slope smacked me on the back of the head and told me to “knock it off, Hillbilly.”) What news was breaking here? I glanced at the bold letters above the fold: Researchers Baffled by Decline in Pet Adoptions. It was the middle of summer in a university town. Of course, it was a slow news day. I can only imagine what the haggard editor and his gaggle of interns had to dig through to come up with that. That was the ’90s. News was still somewhat selective. By that, I mean there seemed to be someone somewhere gleaning what was deemed ‘newsworthy.’ Today it seems no such person, and no such distinction for that matter, exists. Yes, it’s July. Yes, it’s a long holiday weekend. Yes, people are on vacation. However, it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, the 24-hour news outlets could find a better use of their air time than trolling the depths for every—any—story that might, in the broadest sense of the term, be considered news. By way of example, I have listed some of the headlines from last week: A Day in the Life of Weird Al Yankovic Does it involve performing on a subway platform? If I guess it, do I win something? Sheep Turns Tables on Wolf

TANGENTIAL THINKER Darwin would have a field day. In centuries to come, who knows who will be the hunter and who the hunted…? How will Lupo’s Life Change with the Royal Arrival? The name may not be as familiar as Bo or Millie, but Lupo is the royal dog, a black cocker spaniel. Oh, and how will his life change when Kate gives birth? If you answered not one bit, give yourself a gold star. Mariah Carey Lip Syncs at BET Awards I think I speak for everyone when I say, “And…” Brad Pitt’s Best Movies—for his Hair Finally, something worth writing about. Um, is “all of them” too easy? I mean, say what you want about his acting, but you cannot fault the man’s hair. I don’t care if it’s the flowing locks of Legends of the Fall or the edgy buzz cut from Mr. and Mrs. Smith…but I digress. Yeah, that’s a stupid story. Is Miley Cyrus Obsessed with Short Shorts? These headlines that are longer than the actual stories have to be strange for reporters. Have Lemurs Become Street Smart? ‘Become?’ Where the hell have these people been? I guess I shouldn’t be complaining. It’s nice to have a bit of dull news every once in a while. It’s summer. It’s supposed to be lazy. Now that I think about it, a slow news day sounds perfect.

REVIEWS MOVIE REVIEW

THEATER REVIEW

BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

BY MARK BRETZ

The Heat

1776

POLICE BRUTALITY RATING: 6 out of 10

Let’s start with the good news: If you didn’t already know it, Melissa McCarthy is a very, very funny lady. Her timing, physicality and improvisational skills rival some of the greats. She and Sandra Bullock make a delightful and refreshing duo. The bad news: Nothing could elevate this hackneyed, recycled, throw-away plot to the level of comedy classic. Kate Ashburn (Bullock) is a buttoned-up fed on the trail of a drug kingpin. When her search takes her to Boston, she is forced to team up with nitty-gritty detective Mullins (McCarthy) to catch the mystery man. Now, let me stop you right there. If you think for one second that Mullins and Ashburn initially hate each other, but slowly Ashburn’s book smarts and Mullins’ street-savvy combine to make the pair an unbeatable crime-solving force and even better friends, well, you’d be, um, correct. So amid this wildly predictable mess of a plot, there are several almost redeeming moments of comedy. No doubt the studio has Martin-and-Lewis visions for Bullock and McCarthy. Hopefully next time, they will actually give them a movie to accompany their talent.

White House Down THEATER OF THE ABSURD

PHOTO OF 1776 COURTESY OF JOHN LAMB

RATING: 3 out of 10

I don’t understand. I truly don’t. Who greenlights a script like this? I get that director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, 2012, The Day after Tomorrow) loves some great special effects, but to the exclusion of all else? I can practically imagine the pitch meeting: Take the first and third Die Hards, Executive Decision, Olympus has Fallen and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, put them all together, edit out all the good parts and voila! I’m going to use a word I don’t use very often, and I hate that this movie has driven me to that place. But when my 14-year-old son (the target demographic, I might add) uses the same word, I have no choice. This movie is stupid. After getting passed over for a job with the Secret Service, John Cale (Channing Tatum) decides to take his daughter, Emily (Joey King), on a tour of the White House. As fate would have it, they choose precisely the same time to sight-see as a group of rogue black ops paramilitary terrorists decides to seize control of the building. I would have hoped our seat of government would be more secure, oh well. Emily and Cale get separated in all the computer-generated confusion; and it’s up to Cale to save the president (Jamie Foxx), rescue his daughter, oh and also prevent World War III. I have a vital piece of information for Hollywood casting directors: Channing Tatum cannot act. It’s that simple. Granted, the dialogue here was not helping his cause, but this guy makes Steven Segal look like Olivier. Box office or oval office, this movie is a bomb.

THE STORY In the spring and summer of 1776, the members of the Second Continental Congress debate endlessly on the various issues set before them. One subject they haven’t discussed, though, is independence from Great Britain, a point of increasing agitation to delegate John Adams of Massachusetts. Every tiny point is discussed ad infinitem, even as the colonies’ military leader, George Washington, sends pessimistic missives about the state of their militia. As they battle the heat of summer, pesky flies and contentious disagreements in a stuffy meeting room in Philadelphia, the Founding Fathers fight to forge a revolutionary alliance.

HIGHLIGHTS A seemingly unlikely topic for a musical, 1776 premiered on Broadway in 1969 and ran for 1,217 performances before closing in 1972. It won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The opening-night performance of 1776 was a victory of idealism over reality and patriotism over practicality. Technical difficulties at the beginning of the presentation gave way to a discordantly shabby performance by conductor Charlie Mueller and his orchestra in the opening act, although there was improvement in Act II, as musicians seemed to search for the right notes, often unsuccessfully. Additionally, the pacing in the first act was grindingly slow, including overly long pauses between the act’s five scenes. Hopefully a smoother and sprightlier rendition by director Maggie Ryan and her cast will result as the production continues.

MUSICAL: 1776 COMPANY: Insight Theatre Company VENUE: Heagney Theatre, Nerinx Hall, 530 E. Lockwood Ave. DATES: July 5, 6, 7 TICKETS: $15-$30; 556-1293 or brownpaper tickets.com RATING: A 3.5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

Martin Fox delivers a stirring performance as John Adams, the focal character in Peter Stone’s book. Tom Murray is glib and mischievous but also persuasive as the wry elder statesman Benjamin Franklin, and Joneal Joplin is a delight as the rumswilling Rhode Island delegate Stephen Hopkins. The show’s ‘villains,’ as it were, are strongly etched by Christopher Hickey as Pennsylvania’s careful delegate, John Dickinson, and Matt Pentecost as South Carolina’s charismatic charmer, Edward Rutledge. The music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards are relatively modest by musical standards, but Stone’s book for 1776 effectively presents the foibles as well as the lofty goals of this band of brothers, American Revolution-style.

IRCLE 7 RANCH TAPHOUSE & Grill is the latest project from the minds at Lounge Concepts, the group that brought us Pepper Lounge, Mandarin Lounge and the Lumen event space. At those places, aesthetics are everything, and the same emphasis on design and accoutrements is more than evident at Circle 7. The interior is sort of a lounge take on the traditional sports bar model, with plenty of trendy distressed wood on the floors and walls and banks of flat-screens showing an array of sporting events. The big hook at Circle 7 is that it’s the first place in the state to feature table taps, gadgets available at some of the booths that allow customers to draw their own beer without having to wait for a server. In fact, a lot of the publicity Circle 7 has received has centered around said table taps and not the food. This seems odd, because while the design elements and gadgetry are all well and good, what sets Circle 7 apart from glut of sports bar is its menu, which is fairly expansive and offers selections that are a cut above the usual pub fare. Many of the apps available in the Beginnings section of the menu are hefty portions meant to share, like the 8 Layer Buffalo Chicken Dip ($9) and the Smoked Brisket Nachos ($11). We saw several of these go out during our visit, and they were most definitely massive. We went small and had the Pretzel Sticks ($6). These piping hot, soft and salty pretzel nuggets came with a creamy cheese sauce for dipping and were the perfect size to start with. Variations on wraps and sandwiches make up the majority of Circle 7’s menu, and we sampled a bit of both. The Yardbird Wrap ($9) was filled with grilled chicken breast, mayo and BBQ sauce, along with lettuce, tomato and red onion. The sauces were kept to a minimum, which served to really bring out the individual flavors involved, as well as keep things from getting too messy. It’s also available in sandwich form under the Also On A Bun section. The Between The Buns section boasted a pretty creative array of burgers and sandwiches. The Rise & Shine Burger ($9) immediately caught our eye, with its toppings of fried egg, bacon and cheese as we’re a sucker for any variation of breakfast for dinner. The burger was nicely medium rare and

was complemented by the soft and savory egg and bacon combo. Both of our selections came with a generous amount of fries on the side. Service was fairly efficient, given the crowd in the dining room while we were there, and prices across the board for food and drink were reasonable. The menu also had a selection of salads and some large plate offerings, as well as kid-sized meals. Circle 7’s beer list was full of standards and craft selections that included brews from local producers like Schlafly and Urban Chestnut. Only a few beers are available via table tap though; we ordered our pint of Guiness ($6) from the bar.

According to owner Beckie Jacobs, the shop has started an in-house program called Leap of Faith in response to some of their customer’s unique flavor requests. Every couple of weeks—or whenever inspiration strikes—Jacobs and crew whip up a small amount of custom ice cream that veers a little bit off the beaten flavor path. A small amount (about a gallon and a half or so) is made available by the scoop, as well as by the quart, for take-home use. Some recent concoctions have included a poundcake trifle (chunks of cake with strawberry and lime), lavender blueberry and a spicy peanut butter with bacon, chocolate and chipotle. Traditionalists shouldn’t despair, though, the classics are still available. Serendipity Homemade Ice Cream, 8130 Big Bend Blvd., 962-2700, serendipity-icecream.com

Some of these are the result of brainstorming sessions between Whitely and Cielo’s executive chef Fabrizio Schenardi. But many, like the wine and peppercorn combo, have resulted from Whitley challenging his staff via ‘mystery baskets,’

AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY continued from page 16 more than 100 percent back in our city because we help fund so many research grants and patient programs,” Krekeler explains. At Washington University School of Medicine, there are 12 cancer research projects in the works, as well as two additional studies at Saint Louis University School of Medicine—all supported by a total of $6.5 million in grant money from the Society’s local office. Weisbrod knows firsthand how vital the Society is for cancer patients and their families. She received a breast cancer diagnosis shortly before Christmas in 2011. “When the room begins to fill with more people and new machines, you know that you are about to become a statistic. I was afraid and I was in denial,” she recalls. But the Society was there for her with three crucial needs: tools to fight the cancer, resources for emotional support and hope for the future. Through the Society’s patient navigator program, Weisbrod was able to organize her cancer journey by keeping all of her medical information, such as treatment schedules, prescriptions and insurance, in one convenient

file folder that went with her to every appointment. Emotionally, the Society’s Look Good Feel Better program helped Weisbrod choose a wig and learn how to apply makeup after losing her eyebrows and eyelashes, as well as provided her with a nutritionist, exercise routines and support groups. “Many went before and many will go after me, but all of us collectively are engaged in the fight to beat cancer,” Weisbrod says. “I got involved (with the Society) in order to ‘pay it forward’ and help raise money for an organization that was there for me in the moment when it mattered most.” To support these critical programs, the Society’s St. Louis office raises $5 million annually, and has a fundraising goal of $200,000 for the inaugural Cattle Baron’s Ball, Krekeler says. The event, which began 40 years ago in Dallas, annually brings in $12 million from host cities throughout the nation. And Krekeler hopes St. Louis can add to those numbers, because more money means better outcomes for cancer patients. “We have come so far with cancer treatment and prevention, and I believe that someday we really can find a cure.”

“MANY WENT BEFORE AND MANY WILL GO AFTER ME, BUT ALL OF US COLLECTIVELY ARE ENGAGED IN THE FIGHT TO BEAT CANCER. I GOT INVOLVED (WITH THE SOCIETY) IN ORDER TO ‘PAY IT FORWARD’ AND HELP RAISE MONEY FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT WAS THERE FOR ME IN THE MOMENT WHEN IT MATTERED MOST.”

JUVENILE ARTHRITIS continued from page 30 supplements. In fact, Ornstein sounds a warning: “When it comes to herbal medications, I feel it is important to state that although many people view these therapies as being ‘more natural,’ these supplements are chemicals, too. Moreover, they are chemicals that have little to no solid data to support their efficacy or governmental bodies to regulate them or the claims made by their manufacturers. I always strongly advise my patients to avoid these things.” Even if your child does not complain of joint pain, if you notice limping or stiffness after rest that persists for weeks with no apparent explanation, such as a sports injury, see your primary-care physician. With proper treatment, JIA won’t slow kids down.

ORTHOTICS continued from page 32 Duncan notes that like shoes, orthotics must be broken-in slowly. “Your body needs time at first to get use to this new ‘foot posture,’” she says. Orthotics should only be worn no more than two hours the first day, with wear time slowly increasing over a couple of weeks. “If an individual overuses the orthotics during this break-in period, they may develop discomfort, blisters, or back, hip, knee or ankle pain,” she adds. So pause before you carelessly slip any old orthotic into your shoes. Duncan sums up: “By seeing a properly trained individual before purchasing custom-molded or OTC orthotics, an individual will be able to make a more informed decision so that they can continue their daily activities without any discomfort.”
