CONTENTS SOCIETY IN EARLY JUNE, THE ST. LOUIS PRESS CLUB HELD ITS MEDIA PERSONS OF the Year Gala. Yours truly, along with longtime UPI photographer Bill Greenblatt, served as event co-chairs. The event generated plenty of buzz, allowing the Press Club to surpass its goal, with proceeds benefiting journalism scholarships.

The gala, attended by more than 350 guests, was my first-ever co-chairmanship of an event. While I was honored at the invitation to co-chair the Press Club’s biggest annual fundraiser, I initially had a few reservations as this was unfamiliar territory: What if I don’t know what I’m doing? (I didn’t.) What if no one shows up? (They did.) What if something goes wrong? (Well, if something did...no one caught on).

The experience was enlightening, to say the least; and it opened my eyes to the intricate, elaborate coordination and choreography that’s key to a successful fundraiser. And to make it so, a network of support has to be the backbone of every event. This week, we speak with St. Louisans in-the-know about getting the job done in the name of philanthropy. Our feature begins on p. 24.

O R 1 5 Y E A R S N OW, R O NA L D McDonald House Charities of St. Louis (RMHC) has hosted its signature two-day event, Kids & Sporting Clays Tournament and Dinner Auction.

During its inaugural year, the event raised $30,000 for the organization.

This year, president Dan Harbaugh says the goal is to raise $350,000. “We created this as an alternative to the many golf tournaments that are hosted in the region,” he says. “So many folks in St. Louis are hunters, and it seems to be very popular.” The event takes place Aug. 23 and 24, kicking off with a Sunday evening dinner auction at the Missouri Athletic Club – Downtown, followed by the tournament, hosted by Moneta Group, on Monday.

For years, the group hosted the tournament at Milo Farms in Alton, Illinois, but has since moved to Strathalbyn Farms Club in Weldon Spring to better accommodate St. Louis attendees. The annual event was also moved to take place on Sunday and Monday, so people don’t have to give

up their weekends.“It seems to work with golf tournaments, so we’ll see,” Harbaugh says with a laugh.

The dinner auction will feature a wide array of items and packages to bid on, including a variety of trips, suites at Blues and Rams games, a vintage pinball machine, destination homes, and a puppy.

Attendees do their bidding via smartphone, which Harbaugh says has increased the bidding process.

“We started that two or three years ago, and people have really caught on to it and enjoy it,” he says. “(The dinner auction) is a first-class event.”

The two-day event is RMHC’s second-largest annual fundraiser, bringing in $330,000 in 2014.

The money raised goes toward the organization’s mission of creating a home-away-from-home for families of seriously ill children.

Harbaugh, who has served at RMHC for more than 20 years, says he hears wonderful things from families each week. “People tell us they couldn’t have done it without (RMHC St. Louis),” he says.

“Recently, a mom came up to me and said, This is the best thing in the world on the worst day of our

Caroline Lopez with her family.

lives. And that’s what it’s about. We try to take a load of stress away from these families, and create a place that’s as comfortable as home.”

One such family is the Lopez family. Six-yearold Caroline was unable to find the care she needed for a brain tumor in the Kansas City area, where the Lopezes live. Staying at the Ronald McDonald House in St. Louis gives Caroline access to the treatment she needs, alongside the love and support of family, including siblings Mohammad, Ruben, Jackeline and Valerie.

They visit her often and keep her company, and mom Janna reports that Caroline is doing well.

“It means so much for us to be together while Caroline is receiving treatment.”

technicians, is crucial, she adds. If the valet line is backed up, the reservation table is moving in guests too slowly, the meals aren’t served on time, or the speaker doesn’t show up, you have to bring in more people to help, she explains. “Let the speakers know how long they can talk. For a video, do a run-through to ensure there are no glitches.”

And better yet, she says, have a beneficiary speak in person about how the organization changed his or her life. “You want [attendees] to think, This is the best charity, so they will want to get involved or give more money.”

At Contemporary Productions, staff ensures the vision of the event—sometimes one or two years in the making—becomes reality. Led by president Steve Schankman, the team has successfully staged top-notch entertainment like Kenny Loggins at Zoofari, as well as produced events such as Forest Park Forever’s Leffingwell Award Hat Luncheon. It’s currently planning the second annual SSM St. Mary’s Health Center’s An Evening with Cedric the Entertainer and Friends on Oct. 10 at the Peabody Opera House.

Whether it’s a new or annual event, Contemporary always starts with a creative idea.

Establishing and maintaining a budget, continuously updating the event plan and production schedule, and lining up trustworthy vendors and appropriate entertainment for the audience demographic all are part of the planning process.

“For instance, you have to have a good caterer for big parties that can handle 1,000-plus guests,” Schankman notes.

The day of the event, a full and flexible staff is important to help move guests through valet parking, registration, cocktails, dinner and the program, as well as handle any issues that may arise, Schankman says. And special touches, such as a red-carpet arrival or an engaging performance by a national act, can take an event over-the-top, he adds. “We really try to help the charity make more money by bringing in entertainers.”

B a rba ra Wa s h i n g to n o f Bo b ca t Eve n t Management says it’s critical to know your client, its audience and the message of the event. “Do your behind-the-scenes research,” says the 30-year veteran event-planner, who has put on Mathews-Dickey’s Sheer Elegance Fashion Show and The Muny’s Bringing It Together Music Fest, among others. Then give your client choices for the event venue, date and entertainment, she adds. “Once a site is chosen, I like to get to know everyone, from the catering director to the waitservice staff and valets. I give them a pep talk, so that every detail is covered.”

During the event, Washington—who also is a gospel singer—refers to her ‘event gospel.’ “It’s a living and breathing list of what I need to do.”

Monitoring each moment is key, she continues.

“A snafu can go on—such as the sound system not working. You have to have a backup plan and roll on with the program in such a way that the client and guests are not aware an issue is happening. I watch my clock to make sure everything is going as smoothly as it can. Your job is not over till the fat lady sings!”

WARD-WINNING ENTERtainment in a spectacular setting can garner much-needed dollars for a worthy organization’s mission. But how do high-profile event-planners pull off these impeccable fundraising events?

LN pulls back the curtain with some of the best in the business to find out.

From the beginning, you have to think of the event’s end-game, says Marci Rosenberg, an event planner with a decades-long track record of success, from the Variety Club Telethon and the Women of Achievement Luncheon, to The Press Club of Metropolitan St. Louis Media Persons of the Year gala. “You want them to leave happy,” she notes. “For St. Louis, that means going home early—ending the event around 9 p.m.”

To achieve this result, Rosenberg employs the ‘run-of-show’ method, ensuring all the moving parts of an event are adhering to a strict timeline.

“Have someone with eyes and ears on everything that’s happening, because once you get behind, you can’t make it up,” notes Rosenberg, who currently is working on the Holocaust Museum and Learning Center’s 20th Anniversary Gala set for Aug. 20 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis.

It all starts with the planning process, Rosenberg says. “If there is a big event-planning committee, no one will do anything. Assign each person to do one job, and they will get it done.”

“Public libraries are as important to our communities as they have ever been, and I believe that our 150 years of the St. Louis Public Library’s history has left an indelible mark on the region and the world. We are embracing new technologies and emerging information trends to ensure that the Library remains an integral part of the fabric of St. Louis for another 150 years.”

Sugar Bear, a pony with laminitis and inspiration for starting the Animal Health Foundation

Animal Health Foundation, 30 years Dr. Donald Walsh founded Animal Health Foundation 30 years ago with the goal of finding a cure for laminitis, a disease affecting horses.

In 2011, Walsh received the Merial Lifetime Achievement Award at the Sixth International Equine Conference on Laminitis and Diseases of the Foot for his contributions. The foundation funds 20 percent of the research worldwide on the disease, and scientists are closer than ever to finding a cure.

“In 1985, we didn’t know what caused a healthy horse to get laminitis, a painful crippling condition that affects horses’ hooves.

Our goals have been to fund equine laminitis research to find a cure and educate horse owners about the disease. We are close to realizing our goal for a cure in our 30th anniversary year, including the recent discovery that high levels of the hormone insulin are responsible for most cases of the disease.”

Plowsharing Crafts, 30 years

The International Photography Hall of Fame was established in 1983, and moved from Oklahoma City to St. Louis in 2013. When it did, the eyes of an industry became focused on St. Louis and the nonprofit’s 6,000-square-foot gallery in Grand Center. The move, it seems, has been a success, and St. Louis looks forward to another 50 years or more of exciting exhibits featuring this most intimate and far-reaching forms of art.

“We are a museum celebrating the achievements of the inventors and pioneers of photography. Photography surrounds us—if you think about it, it’s hard to imagine modern civilization without photography. We rely on it for communication, science and personal expression: from recording what your lunch looked like, to a selfie with your pals. Photography is ubiquitous and it belongs to us all. We all benefit from the history of photography, and it’s our intention to educate people about its significance, and to celebrate the people who made it possible.

From the Hubble Space Telescope and major advances in astronomy, to the Arab Spring, photography changes history, and we’re here to represent its importance as well as we can.”

—Executive director of creativity and education John Nagel

Beginning as a ministry of the St. Louis Mennonite Fellowship in 1985, Plowsharing Crafts sells the creations of artisans in developing countries at Fair Trade prices, thus helping them to advance themselves and provide for their families. Last year, its three locations (in the U. City Loop, Kirkwood and Edwardsville) sold more than $900,000 worth of products, providing full-time employment for some 200 artisans.

“Plowsharing Crafts is happy and proud to be celebrating 30 years of Fair Trade, which means that our work has provided meaningful income to thousands of artisans and their families throughout the developing world. The purchases that customers make at our shops means that skilled craftspeople in third-world countries will be able to put decent food on their tables, get a better roof over their heads, and will provide greater access to health care and a good education for their children. Sales at Plowsharing directly impact people from Kenya to India to Peru, as we reach out to individuals in over 40 different countries whose handiwork we are proud to sell and whose stories we want to tell.”

— Executive director Rich Howard-Willms

Holocaust Museum & Learning Center, 20 years Unless we know our history, we are doomed to repeat it. The Holocaust Museum & Learning Center, a project of Jewish Federation of St. Louis, has taken on the task of keeping alive the history of one of the modern world’s greatest atrocities. Through knowledge and remembrance of the past, the organization hopes to transform our future for the better.

“When the Holocaust Museum and Learning Center opened in 1995, its mission was about the importance of remembrance. In the past decade, we have taken the history and lessons of the Holocaust to the next level by emphasizing how those lessons can make a difference in our world today. We never know when our messages will take hold in any of our visitors’ lives–but we continue to plant seeds, with the hope of building a community of defenders and change agents that will truly make our community and our world a better place by transforming hatred and indifference into understanding and compassion.”

ANNA CROSSLIN

Keeper of the Village

‌L

BY ROBYN DEXTER

AST MONTH, THE WHITE HOUSE’S WORLD REFUGEE Day Champions of Change recognized Anna Crosslin, president and CEO of the International Institute of St. Louis, for her efforts in working with immigrants. Crosslin was among only 10 people in the country selected for the honor. “I was shocked, pleased and humbled,” she says. “I attended a ceremony at the White House, and got to serve on a panel about my perspective on refugees, and what we can do better as a region and as a country.”

Crosslin isn’t a newcomer to t h e S t . L o u i s i m m i grant community and the International Institute—she’s been the organization’s director for 37 years. “I’ve been drawn to this kind of work my whole life,” she explains. “I’m Japanese-American, and came to the United States when I was 2-and-a-half. I grew up with a foot in two cultural worlds: the world of my Japaneseimmigrant mom and Americanborn father.”

In high school, Crosslin was involved in the American Field Service, and she majored in political science and Asian studies in college. She started at the International Institute in September 1978, and has been working to help the immigrant population in St. Louis ever since.

The Institute was quite different from what it is now when Crosslin started in the late 70s. Nine staff members worked in a Victorian mansion in the Central West End with a budget of $120,000. Now, it has a staff of 75, and a budget of $5.5 million.

Every day, Crosslin works with two populations: the newcomers (immigrants and refugees) and the St. Louis community at-large.

“The newcomers integrate into the community very successfully, if provided the right opportunities,” she explains. “The community at-large benefits from a global perspective, living and working around people from many different cultures.”

Crosslin brings up a surprising and disheartening statistic: Missouri has one of the lowest issuance rates for passports. “(Missourians) don’t travel much around the world, aside from Mexico and Bermuda,” she notes. “When we want to compete in a global economic market,

“THE NEWCOMERS INTEGRATE INTO THE COMMUNITY VERY SUCCESSFULLY, IF PROVIDED THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITIES. THE COMMUNITY AT-LARGE BENEFITS FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE, LIVING AND WORKING AROUND PEOPLE FROM MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES.”

we cannot negotiate effectively. We’re at a disadvantage if we don’t develop that perspective.” Having more foreign-born people in the region brings a more global perspective to St. Louis and can help us take our rightful position on the global stage, she notes.

At the International Institute, Crosslin aims to help build and strengthen that bridge between newcomers and residents who have lived in St. Louis for many years. The Institute serves about 7,500 immigrants and refugees from 80 different countries. Crosslin and her staff offer job training, counseling, and language and citizenship classes. She’s also the director of the Festival of Nations, which takes place every August in Tower Grove Park. Next month’s event is Aug. 29 and 30.

“Its very satisfying work,” Crosslin says. “I’ve been blessed in these 37 years. I have a spectacular staff and volunteer group that have really been able to implement the strategies defined for the Institute. It takes a village.”

Every Little Bit...

‌W

By Brittany Nay

hen students at a local school were in need of coats amidst a frigid winter, Rosemary Hanley answered the call. “They said, We need your help—children’s arms are blue,” Hanley recalls. “So we delivered 170 coats to a 250-student St. Louis public school. As I was standing outside the school in the freezing cold, there was a little boy wearing his dad’s leather coat, with the sleeves touching the ground. I thought, how can there be kids here in St. Louis who don’t have their basic needs met—when I have everything and they live 20 minutes from me?”

Ever since Hanley, executive director of The Little Bit Foundation, saw a need in St. Louis, she had the desire to fill it. From a young age, the New York native says she was innately service-minded.

“I always had a passion for helping kids, and I always felt for people who need extra support.” After spending part of her childhood in Dallas and attending college in New Orleans, she moved to St. Louis, her husband’s hometown, and immediately embraced the community.

“I’ve been here for 32 years, and St. Louis is home,” she notes.

Upon moving here, Hanley taught first grade at Saint Gerard Majella Parish, a privileged parochial school in Kirkwood. But she soon realized not all kids throughout the city fared as well. “I became aware of the need in St. Louis, and wanted to serve those needs,” she says.

After helping with a coat drive for underserved kids at local public schools, Hanley decided to take a turn in her career. She launched The Little Bit Foundation, a nonprofit which has served 32,000 kids at 20 local schools since 2001 with food, clothing, medical care, personal hygiene items and more—all so students can focus on their education and have choices for their future. “It’s all about action: It’s not about talking about it—it’s about getting it done. We have an army of volunteers who work one-on-one with kids to assess and fulfill their needs. We know their names, and they know ours.

When Little Bit is in a school, students’ discipline issues go down,

attendance goes up, and reading comprehension scores go up. We have never turned away a child.”

Hanley says it’s not about if a child is good or smart, but rather, if they need something. “There’s something about just giving out of the kindness of your heart, and loving people who are there; and there’s something about looking at a child and just supporting them, believing in them and doing whatever it takes to help them.”

While Hanley never pictured herself on this career path, she says it was a call she cared to answer. And little do some know, that caring attitude can be found all over St. Louis, she says. “I don’t know that people know how amazing our city is, and what we have to offer.

There’s so much good, and so much kindness.” Hanley certainly is leading the charge, but she’ll be the first to say she gets more than she gives. “My life has changed because of working with these kids.

I’m the one who walks away with the gift.”

ETSY COHEN ALWAYS HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE community and international interests. While working at Nestlé Purina, she was associated with a coalition that worked with people overseas, allowing her to develop a good sense of how to make things better for immigrants in St. Louis.

When the St. Louis Mosaic Project launched in 2012, Cohen was immediately intrigued. The initiative was looking for a director, and Cohen came on board in 2013. “The St. Louis Mosaic Project says we’re all part of a mosaic, regardless of our race,” she says. “You keep your own individual identity, but are part of something bigger.”

The St. Louis Mosaic Project is a response to an economic impact report that outlined St. Louis to be lagging in immigrant growth and the economic benefits of increasing its foreignborn population. It’s managed by the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, World Trade Center St. Louis and a 22-member committee. The Project targets the immigrant community at many levels, including the civic level, the education level, and all levels of business.

After a long corporate career, Cohen found herself able to really devote her time and talent to making the region better.

“Everyone has an immigrant story,” she says. “It’s important to remind Americans that we all have an immigrant story, and that’s how our country was built.”

Cohen cites The Woman’s Exchange as an example of helping people who help themselves. “Their mission is to help train women who are starting over,” she says. “These people have started a pathway to make life better for themselves and their children. This country offers those opportunities to make a new, better start.”

foreign-born,” she notes. “People are always asking me what they can do to help—that’s so rewarding.”

The St. Louis region will see a population shift in coming years, Cohen explains. “We’re going to have more people of Latino and Asian background in the community, particularly in West County,” she says.

“Our African-American and Caucasian populations are older, but the Latino and Asian populations are younger and growing. This is something we should be positive about because we want to be a growing region.”

The goal of the St. Louis Mosaic Project is to be the fastest-growing U.S. metropolitan area for immigration by 2020. It won’t be an easy one, with St. Louis ranking 19th out of the 20 largest metro areas in the country, with 4.6 percent of the population comprised of immigrants, according to U.S. Census data collected in 2011.

However, Cohen says the organization is on track to meet this goal, and just need to keep spreading the word about the Project and its programs.

Living in a more diversified community is good for all involved, according to Cohen. “We should embrace that we can be bigger and better. This is the future for our children and grandchildren.”

My calling in life is to work directly with people in a business capacity. Being able to interact with clients on a daily basis—and getting paid for it—is a dream come true. I love being in business and meeting new people, which is why selling real estate couldn’t be more perfect for me.

I knew I had found my calling when I wanted to know every aspect of real estate. Licensed for more than 20 years, I’ve studied it all: the luxury market, new construction, condo development, and residential and investment sales. Now, I have those insights to offer my clients, whether they are developers or first-time homebuyers.

My passion for creating an outstanding customer experience evolved from more than 16 years of leading teams at Banana Republic and Apple stores. At Yurbuds, a local headphones start-up, I discovered great shops around the country, which reinforced my desire to have my own boutique and offer unique brands in a charming environment.

My main calling is to serve God by serving families. Going through a divorce can be traumatic for families, especially children. After reflection and prayer over my own traumatic experience with my parents’ divorce, the idea that I might help or prevent situations like what I endured drew me to practice family law. Disclaimer: The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.

It began at age 9, when I wrote a contract between my mother and sister—I was hooked.

After working several years with abused children and teens, I knew I had to find a career where I helped people. Practicing family law has allowed me to achieve that goal.

I realized that family law was my true calling because I began to feel a tremendous satisfaction from helping people get their lives back on track.

Our firm has great success in helping people, who suffer from an inability to cope with the breakdown of their family situations, navigate back to normal, happy lives. After many years, we are still privileged to serve our fantastic clients and feel fortunate to be able to help them.

One of the most important things for a party to take into consideration when analyzing a settlement offer is not simply the here and the now, but how the settlement will look in the future.

How will this settlement offer look a year from now? How will it look five years from now? How about ten years or twenty years from now?

like a person who makes a purchase in a rush, they often end up with buyer’s remorse.

Don’t be afraid to take your time. Make sure that all the numbers are appropriately crunched for the short and the long-run. You will probably want to ask your legal counsel if there are other realistic scenarios and possibilities as well.

Parties really need to take a long view as it relates to the resolution of their case. This is the only real way a party can make the best decision for their future.

At the end of the day, litigation is expensive. Having a case in the family court system is not an enjoyable experience for anybody to endure. Most parties realistically should settle their case short of trial.

Often, parties are in such a rush to get a case done that they agree to something just to make the case end quickly. But

But it’s important to take the time to make a decision that will be beneficial in the long-run as well. As it relates to

AST MONTH, I ENDED WHAT HAS SO FAR been the most amazing chapter in my professional life when I resigned as dean of the George Herbert Walker School of Business & Technology at Webster University. As many of you know, I recently assumed a new role as president of Westminster College, a small, private college in Fulton, Missouri.

I am excited about the opportunity to lead this 164-year-old college with a rich tradition of excellence in teaching and learning, and an iconic place in history as a frequent stop for some of the world’s influential leaders. Westminster is nationally recognized for its value and success in transforming the lives of young people, and for developing leaders ready and inspired to serve in today’s global community.

Still, I left Webster with mixed emotions, for I experienced tremendous personal and professional growth while there. We had a phenomenally successful record of fundraising and institutional advancement. We transformed the Walker School into a major innovator in business education through the creation of globally competent academic programs. We internationalized our curriculum; developed new, forward-thinking programs; and expanded the ranks of full-time faculty by 50 percent.

Above all, we stayed focused on our reason for being: our students. Each day I spent at Webster was an up-close reminder of the power of education to transform, empower and enrich the life of an individual. That is why we worked tirelessly to provide access to higher education to a diverse

spectrum of people, and that is why I am so pleased to have the opportunity to take the next step in my higher-education career at Westminster.

Making ‘Cents’ of Money

BY BRITTANY NAY

Q&A with BMO Harris Bank’s Sandy Washington

T

EACHING CHILDREN THE VALUE of a dollar may be a topic on every parent’s mind. But when is a good time to start that conversation?

BMO Harris Bank recently released its 2015 U.S. Parenting Study on how kids are financially educated at home. According to the report, 65 percent of Missouri parents talk to their kids about money; yet, only 25 percent of them give their youngest child an allowance, and only 31 percent have opened a bank account for him or her. Sandy Washington, BMO Harris Bank’s St. Louis retail market manager, shares more about how parents can approach financial education with their kids.

LN: What are some tips to start teaching kids about money?

SW: As parents, one of the most important things to do is to teach kids how to save money. At BMO, we have financial literacy classes for kids to adults. For some, it’s a little challenging to talk to their children about being responsible and saving. We work with parents so that kids from a very early age can make good financial decisions.

LN: When is a good age to start having an earnest conversation with children about saving?

SW: You can never start too early. As soon as kids start to save money from birthdays or chores, it’s important to start talking about the value of money.

Some of today’s young adults don’t know how to write a check or balance a checkbook because they only look at their account online. Parents should really spend some time weekly to talk about savings accounts and earning interest, and setting aside money in order to make purchases that are valuable to them.

LN: What is the right age to start giving an allowance to children? And how much?

SW: We recommend when kids are 5 years old to perhaps give an allowance of $5 a week for chores.

Parents should work with children when they give

it to them, and talk about saving a certain amount and spending a certain amount. If children want to spend money on an item and they don’t have enough money, talk about what must be saved to afford it.

LN: What is the right age to open bank accounts for your child?

SW: Start a savings account immediately when the child is born. When the child gets a job is a good time to open a checking account. While they are under 18, they can open a joint checking account with a parent, which allows the parent to help the teen budget. When the student goes off to college, the parent can co-sign on a small credit card to start to build credit, with an understanding that credit must be paid back. Then when it comes time for them to buy their first car and their first home, they have that credit established.

LN: What are some resources to help parents with educating kids about finances?

SW: Sometimes, our daily lives get very busy, but one of our main responsibilities is to teach kids how to be financially smart. If we can do it while the children are young, they are going to be much better stewards of their own finances when they are older.

PLANNING FOR MINOR CHILDREN

Your Most Precious Assets

W

HEN PEOPLE THINK of estate planning, they think of saving taxes, according to certified financial planner and certified divorce financial analyst Judy Rubin, a partner at Plaza Advisors. But, “it also can be a way to convey your wishes when you can’t speak,” she says. “You can’t make everything perfect, but you can cover some of the bigger areas.”

Yes, money is important, but for those with kids, the question of who would care for them in the event of the parents’ death is paramount.

“This is someone who will essentially take their place, and raise their kids as they would have raised them,” says estate planning attorney Bob Paster of Robert W. Paster, LLC. “You may want it to be someone who is local so they can stay in the same school or neighborhood. A relative may or may not be the best person, depending on how old they are and where they live. You want people who share your values and will raise your kids as you would want them raised.”

Making sure your assets are available to care for the kids is the next order of business. For many people, this will mean setting up a trust, notes David Ott, partner and CEO at Acropolis Financial. Since substantial amounts of money can’t be left to children directly (and most young adults are not mature enough to handle it), a trustee usually will steward the funds until the children are of age. “In theory, you are trusting the guardian with your children, which is your most precious asset,” Ott says. But if the guardian also is the financial trustee, “it doesn’t provide for a check-and-balance system. The trustee could say, We definitely need a new pool, and not serve just the kids, but themselves...You don’t want it to be a financial hardship for the person caring for the kids, but there are horror stories of guardians who then took financial advantage. It’s terrible, but unfortunately, it happens.”

When a guardian and trustee are chosen, it’s important to remember the non-legal aspects that could smooth the transition, if necessary, Rubin says. “If you have a grand plan for the children, you ought to talk to the person who is going to be the guardian, and to the trustee...Make sure everyone is on the same page. Whether you die too young or too old, at the minute they have to do that job, they’re going to be pretty distressed, confused and sad. The more clarity you can provide, not only in legal writing, but also by expressing your wishes, the better.”

Parents also can pass on their wishes by the

“IF YOU HAVE A GRAND PLAN FOR THE CHILDREN, YOU OUGHT TO TALK TO THE PERSON WHO IS GOING TO BE THE GUARDIAN, AND TO THE TRUSTEE...MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE. THE MORE CLARITY YOU CAN PROVIDE, NOT ONLY IN LEGAL WRITING, BUT ALSO BY EXPRESSING YOUR WISHES, THE BETTER.” BOB PASTER, Robert W. Paster, LLC.

stipulations in the trust, Paster notes. The money can be held in trust until the children reach a specified age; for example, giving them a third at age 25, a third at age 30, and the remainder at age 35. “You want them to have enough that they can do something, but not so much that they can do nothing,” he says. “If they blow it once, hopefully, they will be more careful with subsequent distributions.” He adds that ‘incentive trusts’ reward desired behaviors by giving out distributions when milestones are reached, such as graduating from college.

Rubin agrees, saying she has seen several situations in which the parents were divorced, and a deceased spouse’s funds went directly to 18- or 20-year-olds. “The kids say, Let’s buy a house, and then a party house for the city develops.

They’re having keggers every weekend because there are no adults...The kids were mad at the living parent because she divorced their dad and he died.”

Given the choice, everyone would want to have some say in how their kids are raised if they passed away, Paster says. “Everybody has a will.

The problem is, it was written in Jefferson City,” he says. “If you trust the politicians in Jefferson City to give your money to who you think it should go to, that’s fine; but if you want to decide yourself, you should create a trust...Once you have children, it’s imperative, because regardless of dollars, you want to make sure your children get raised by people who will raise them with your values. Your estate planning is a reflection of your life.”

Who Do You Trust?

BY LISA WATSON

ETTING UP A TRUST CAN ENSURE THAT YOUR assets will go to the intended beneficiaries, while avoiding the hassles and costs of probate. But the trustee—the person charged with carrying out the grantor’s wishes set out in the trust—often has a lot of discretion in how those tasks are performed. “Trust wording can be very flexible,” says Tiffany Kuntemeier of Mueller Prost. “A lot of times, providing for the health, maintenance, support and education of the beneficiaries is standard.”

So, choosing the right trustee is crucial. “It’s extremely important to pick someone with the same values and concepts of money as the person creating the trust,” says attorney Martha Burkhardt of Burkhardt Law. “Generally, they have fairly unlimited discretion on what to do with the assets of the trust, beyond who gets what and when.”

Choosing a family member as a trustee can work for some families, especially if the estate doesn’t meet minimums required by corporate trust companies, Burkhardt says. “And a family trustee generally knows the family better,” she notes. However, if the family doesn’t get along, a corporate trustee would have the benefit of staying above the fray. “You never know how death will affect someone, and choosing a family trustee puts them at the center of a situation that can lead to hard feelings.”

If choosing a family member, it’s not enough to pick your favorite relative, notes David Obedin of Renaissance Financial Corporation.

“It’s a much bigger job than most people realize or presume,” he says.

“People insert someone into the document because they trust them, but they might not have the specific skills to actually be a good trustee.

It’s a good idea to either name people with professional competencies, to name a corporate trustee, or to name a family member and a corporate trustee to serve jointly. In that last situation, the corporate trustee would do the heavy lifting, and the family member will think through the family’s perspectives and opinions.” He also points out that corporate trustees typically charge between 0.5 and 1.5 percent

LIV ING ROSACEA

Red-Faced Reaction

I‌

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

N GEOFFREY CHAUCER’S CANTERBURY Tales, the Summoner is described as a redfaced, pimply glutton whose appearance is linked to his greed and corruption. But Dr. Mary Noel George has a different explanation.

He had rosacea, says the dermatologist on staff at SSM DePaul Medical Center. That’s not to suggest that rosacea, an inflammatory skin condition that causes flushing, redness and acne-like breakouts, is connected to gluttony.

“Most individuals are not the alcoholic revelers portrayed by (Chaucer),” she says. “Over 16 million Americans struggle with rosacea. It is most common in fair-skinned individuals, and starts in the 30s and 40s.”

Rosacea is not acne, although it can be mistaken for acne because of the pimple-like lesions that develop in some individuals. Instead, it’s a “reactive process,” explains Dr. Daniel Ring with West County Dermatology.

“Blood vessels on the face typically react to certain triggers and dilate to allow more blood to the skin, causing a flushing/blushing response,” he says. “Triggers include dietary (such as spicy foods, hot foods, tomatoes and red wine), genetic, hormonal and environmental (such as exercise, stress, wind, cold and sun/heat exposure). The flushing response is typically prolonged after exposure to these triggers, and avoidance of these triggers is a component of first-line management.”

Researchers have not been able to pinpoint a cause of rosacea, George says. However, they continue to explore potential causes. “An overgrowth of mites, called Demodex, that live in the oil glands has been associated with rosacea,” George says. “A recent study found certain bacteria on these mites may elicit an inflammatory response in the skin. A new form of treatment, called Soolantra cream, works by treating these mites.”

People who have rosacea have sensitive skin and should use gentle cleansing and cosmetic products. Because sun exposure can exacerbate symptoms, wearing sunscreen daily is a must for these individuals.

Beyond avoiding breakout triggers, treatment is available from a dermatologist. “The only reliable treatments are prescription ones,” George says.

“Rosacea is a lifelong condition for which there is no cure. Most rosacea patients can manage their disease by controlling their diet, limiting their sun exposure, and using gentle skin-care products. If the appearance of the skin is bothersome to the patient, acne bumps occur, or the symptoms are frustrating, then there are many treatments a dermatologist can offer that improve the appearance of the skin and slow down the progression of the disorder.”

July 24, 2015 {LadueNews.com}

Topical treatments typically are prescribed first, and oral medications are available, if needed, Ring adds. “Topical steroids should be avoided as this can make it worse,” he warns. “Just because

you have a red rash on your face, doesn’t mean use hydrocortisone.”

You don’t have to suffer like the Summoner. See your dermatologist if rosacea symptoms occur.

HEALTH & WELLNESS HAIR LOSS

Get to the Root of the Problem

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

L

OSING HAIR, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN who notice excessive hair loss, can be alarming. But don’t panic, says Dr. Joseph Muccini of MidAmerica Skin Health and Vitality Center.

“There are many different kinds of hair loss,” Muccini explains. “Some are permanent, but some are only temporary. First, we have to figure out what’s causing it, and then we can treat it.”

The clinical term for hair loss is ‘alopecia.’

“There are several causes of alopecia, including age, hormonal changes, inflammation, medications and even stress,” says Dr. Ilana Rosman, a Washington University dermatopathology expert.

“Typically, patients with alopecia are otherwise healthy. However, some forms of alopecia may be associated with an autoimmune condition, such as lupus or hypothyroidism.”

There are two major categories of alopecia: scarring and non-scarring, explains Dr. Lisa Ring, a dermatologist on staff at SSM DePaul Health Center. “The most treatable category is non-scarring, reversible alopecia, of which there are many varieties and causes. In non-scarring alopecia, hair

growth is just ‘turned off,’ and treatments are aimed at turning it back on. Scarring alopecia is different.

Just as a scar lasts forever, so does a scarred hair follicle. Once scarred, any given follicle is unlikely to grow hair.”

One of the more common types of alopecia is ‘alopecia areata,’ an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system targets and attacks hair follicles. Patients report hair that falls out in clumps, leaving round, bald patches on the scalp.

Another common type of alopecia, ‘androgenetic alopecia,’ involves gradual hair loss and results in classic ‘male pattern baldness.’ These individuals find their hair thins, especially on top of the scalp and along the frontal hairline.

“The clinical presentation of alopecia varies. As I mentioned, patients with alopecia areata usually have very well-demarcated round areas of hair loss in the scalp, while patients with age- or hormonerelated alopecia have thinning in certain areas,” Rosman says. “In telogen effluvium, which is a common and temporary form of alopecia often seen in women after giving birth (but can occur after

any emotional or physical stressor), there is diffuse thinning of the hair, but this typically returns to normal after several months. In lichen planopilaris, an inflammatory alopecia, there may be patches of hair loss, diffuse thinning or loss of the hair along the front of the hairline and the eyebrows. Lastly, there is a severe and very uncommon form of alopecia areata, called alopecia totalis, in which patients lose all of the hair on the scalp.”

If you are losing hair and need to seek treatment, Muccini says it is important to make a separate appointment to address the hair loss alone, instead of trying to add it to a dermatological appointment Continued on page 65

of stuff for the dorm room.

Styling has improved significantly from the days when it was shaped like the box it came in, and the rear tire no longer is located on the outside of the back door. The CRV is now a stylish, attractive SUV; and though it offers a lot of interior room, its exterior is not too large, so it’s easy to maneuver and park.

Featuring keyless entry and push-button start, the CRV EX offers a variety of nice features once you’re situated in the cockpit, including heated power seats, a sunroof, and a roof-mounted sunglass holder that also has a convex mirror that allows you to see everything that’s going on behind you in the vehicle. Rear-seat room is much larger

than expected, with plenty of room for adults, especially leg room; and rear-seat passengers get their own air vents. Ventilation controls are easy-to-use buttons and rotary knobs. The audio system is all on the center-mounted touchscreen, but redundant buttons on the steering wheel allow you to adjust the audio controls whilst keeping your hands on the wheel.

Of course, being a Honda, the CRV has the fabled reliability and quality build for which Honda has become renowned. To encourage economical driving, a ring of light around the speedometer glows green when you’re maximizing mileage, and an instantaneous mileage gauge on the speedometer face keeps you fully informed. The 185-horsepower, 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder powerplant provides adequate power to motivate the CRV, and a continuously variable transmission transmits the power to the front or all four wheels. A manual transmission is no longer offered. With all-wheeldrive, gas mileage is 26 city, 33 highway. Handling and braking are both pretty good for an SUV. Martin Kingsbury, salesman at Honda of Frontenac, likes all the attributes the CRV offers.

“The CRV is available with keyless entry, heated seats, all-wheel-drive, and back-up and blindspot cameras. It also has a way to hook up your iPhone navigation to display on the CRV’s screen with a $60 app and a $100 cable.”

The CRV starts at approximately $24,300, and can approach $34,000 for an all-wheel-drive Touring version.

ELANTRA PHOTO COURTESY OF HYUNDAI, CR-V PHOTO COURTESY OF HONDA

EFORE YOU KNOW IT, BACK-TOschool time will be upon us; and with the return to studies will come the dilemma of how to get your student to and from high school or college. Inexpensive, dependable transportation is the solution, and there are a number of vehicles that can fit the bill.

One such vehicle is the Hyundai Elantra.

Though technically it’s Hyundai’s ‘small’ sedan, it actually is large enough to be classified as a midsize; and it offers an astounding amount of interior room for the category, and a lot of features for the price.

Styling is pleasant, if not distinctive, as most small sedans seem to have adapted to a common shape formed by the wind tunnel. The shape allows for a decent-sized trunk that can be expanded by folding down the 60/40 rear seat. The larger size of the Elantra provides a surprising amount of rear-seat room, with abundant rear-leg room.

Ventilation controls, including for a/c, are easyto-use buttons and knobs, and the audio system controls are on a center-mounted screen. Audio controls on the leather wrapped steering wheel allow adjustment without taking your hands off the wheel. The screen also doubles as a display for the available back-up camera.

An appealing feature, especially for this price class, is the ability to choose the steering feel: either comfort, normal or sport. The sport mode really increases road feel. Fuel mileage is a decent 28 city, 38 highway, with the 1.8-liter, 145-horsepower, 4-cylinder engine. This engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission, either automatic or manual. With the automatic, power is adequate, and a larger 173-horsepower, 2.0-liter engine is available in higher trims. Cruise control only is available with the automatic. The suspension is comfortable yet sporty, and it handles nicely.

Overall, fit and finish are good, and thanks to its size and standard features, the Elantra offers lots of value for its price.

According to Brian Bullerdick, general sales manager at Mungenast Hyundai, “For a small car, the Elantra has a lot of interior space. It also drives like a larger car.”

Prices for the base SE version start at $19,000 or so.

Another attractive automotive choice for students is the Honda CRV. As a mid-sized SUV, it offers a large enclosed rear-cargo area, perfect for carrying football or hockey equipment, or lots

T’S BEEN ANOTHER BUSY MONTH ON THE local golf scene, so let’s head out to the first tee and check it out.

Let’s begin with a hole-in-one: Nick Gedda won $25,000 for hitting a hole-in-one at the recent Parkway Golf Tournament. Before playing the hole, Gedda and his best friend promised to split the money if either were to actually get a hole-in-one—and he’s keeping that promise!

Gedda used a 5 iron. He played with his brotherin-law, Rick Kriegshauser, a ’78 Parkway Central grad. The two have played together in the tournament for at least 15 years.

first-ever title.

The 2015 Missouri Amateur broke some records this year. Johnson set the record for consecutive matches won with 17. His overall record in match play at the Missouri Amateur is 17-2. This also was the second time in Missouri Amateur history that MGA had an 18-hole final, due to weather. In 1970, Tom Watson defeated Jim Jackson 2 & 1 in 18 holes.

Also, for the first time in Missouri Amateur history, two college teammates played each other in the finals. Mather and Johnson are both seniors at Missouri State University and members of the Bears golf team.

GIRLS FOUR STATE The Missouri Junior Girls Four State Team captured the championship at the annual Junior Girls Four State Championship. The two-day tournament was played at The Oak Hills Country Club in Omaha, Nebraska. It was Missouri’s 12th Junior Four State title since the tournament’s inception in 1969. Missouri last won it in 2013.

METROPOLITAN OPEN Adam Schenk won the 10th Metropolitan Open at The Country Club of St. Albans. Schenk, a Purdue graduate, battled Steven Ihm all the way to the end before a birdie by Schenk on the 54th hole gave him the title and a check for $25,000. The two are friends and roommates on the PGA Latin America tour.

Schenk had rounds of 66-64-73 for a 203. Ihm finished at 204 with rounds of 66-68-70.

Mitchell Mather

MGA AMATEUR Mitchell Mather of Lebanon defeated former state champion Joey Johnson of Ozark, 4 & 3 to win the 108th Missouri Amateur Championship at the Buffalo Ridge Springs Golf Course in Hollister.

The two are Missouri State teammates. Johnson was chasing history, and Mather was seeking a

RULES OFFICIAL Curt Rohe, the executive director of the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association, recently worked at the U.S. Open and the U.S. Senior Open as a rules official.

The U.S. Open was played last month in Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Place, Washington; while the U.S. Senior Open was held at the Del Passo Country Club in Sacramento, California.

Rohe, 39, is a native of Washington. He went to East Central Junior College, where he played baseball. He earned his degree from Saint Louis University.

Rohe takes the USGA rules workshop test every year. A score of 92 or high must be made before the USGA considers anyone for the position of a rules official. At the Senior Open, Rohe was an observer.

That means he was out ahead of the group.

“I would see where balls landed,” Rohe says.

“I stayed one shot ahead of the group. It was a great time.”

BOYS U.S. JUNIOR GOLF QUALIFIER Marquette’s Frankie Thomas will be going back to the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. Thomas, who will be a senior this fall for the Mustangs, took part in the Junior Amateur Qualifier at Lake Forest Country Club.

Thomas, who also qualified in 2014, repeated after a pair of even par rounds of 72 over the saturated and long Lake Forest Country Club layout.

Thomas was medalist by eight shots.

The second qualifier was Chris Ferris, who will be a senior this fall at Lindbergh High School. Ferris had rounds of 79-73, including a birdie on the final

hole to secure the second qualifying spot by a shot.

Thomas and Ferris are playing in the 68th U.S. Junior Amateur in South Carolina this week.

BOYS PGA JUNIOR GOLF QUALIFIER Frankie Thomas also won the PGA Junior Boys Qualifying Tournament at Persimmon Woods Golf Club. Thomas finished tied with Jack Parker of Columbia at even-par 142 after 36 holes in the twoday qualifier. Thomas hit a double bogey on the last hole to force the extra golf.

A 10-foot birdie on the third playoff hole enabled Thomas to earn a spot in the Junior PGA Championship next month at Miramont Country Club in Bryan, Texas.

MGA STATE JUNIOR GIRLS MATCH PLAY GOLF Parkway West’s Rebecca Su, who will be a senior this fall, finished second in the recent 2015 Missouri Junior match play championship at Rivercut Golf Course in Springfield. After the qualifying round, Su defeated Mikala Jungmeyer 7 & 5. Su slipped past Amber Wilson 1 up.

Su, who was competing in her first ever MGA junior match play championship, faced Sarah Bell, who was in familiar territory, making it to the semifinal round of match play in 2014.

Battling both the rain and the wind, the two finalists made it to the 15th hole before Bell ended the match, winning 4 & 3.

GIRLS JUNIOR QUALIFIER Abby Schroeder, who helped MICDS win a state title last fall, missed earning a spot in the U.S. Girls Junior Championship. Schroeder was third with an 81 at the U.S. Girls Junior Qualifier at Bogey Hills Country Club.

PGA JUNIOR GIRLS QUALIFIER Shannon Gould of O’ Fallon won the U.S. Girls Junior Qualifier at Bogey Hills Country Club.

Gould, who helped MICDS win the Class 1 state title last fall, earned a spot in the U.S. Girls Junior Championship, also next month in Texas.

Gould, who was fourth in her first state tournament, finished with a 164 to edge MICDS teammate Abby Schroeder, who will be a senior, and Tori Hays, who just graduated from Alton, by one stroke.

TOURNAMENT Golf, auctions, food and fun made the recent 14th Annual Bill Wallis Classic at The Country Club of St. Albans a success once again. Named in honor of Bill Wallis, who died from melanoma in 2001, the foundation has raised more than $187,000 and has awarded 71 scholarships.

That’s it for this month. Until next month, keep hitting them straight.

Dr. Author

BY ALICE HANDELMAN

Q&A

What is the theme of the book?

Its recurrent theme focuses on how brilliant doctors know the right questions to ask. Jason asks the right questions as a good physician, but he also knows the right questions to ask in his personal relationship. Indiscretion filters in that begs the question: When a partner gets caught cheating, should one incident end up ruining a loving relationship? Emotions may take over that hurt the psyche of the person who is betrayed.

But, is a breakup really rational?

J‌

What inspired you to write this novel?

My friend, Eric Leuthardt, a neurosurgeon, is a published writer of two novels. His writing inspired me to pen The Intern. I wanted to create a book that was beautifully written, like butter.

There is nothing more pleasurable than reading a well-written book. I would awaken each morning at 2 a.m. and begin writing. The characters and story became real to me.

Are any characters or names in the book taken from real life?

My high-school English teacher, Virginia Holiman, appears in the book. She was my mentor who taught me how to write. Jason Green, a lead character, is brilliant and is the person I would have liked to be. Many of Jason’s experiences are from my journey. The first day of Jason’s internship and all the ‘codes blue’ came from my first day as an intern at Barnes Hospital. The chapter that features the medical student trying to resuscitate the woman with glass eyes actually happened to me. I vividly remember screaming, Get off of her right now! And, yes, I deliberately named some of my characters after friends, family and colleagues.

Were there any prejudices you have experienced that appear in the book?

I am a Southern Jew. I am gay. I have three beautiful daughters who are the joys of my life, and

“I WANTED TO CREATE A BOOK THAT WAS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, LIKE BUTTER. THERE IS NOTHING MORE PLEASURABLE THAN READING A WELL-WRITTEN BOOK. I WOULD AWAKEN EACH MORNING AT 2 A.M. AND BEGIN WRITING. THE CHARACTERS AND STORY BECAME REAL TO ME.” I have had an amazing partner for 18 years. Yet, life is never perfect. I have experienced bigotry during my lifetime that influenced who I am today. I was the only Jewish student in my high school. When I ran for student body president, some of my classmates made fun of me and chanted, Foo, foo, foo, not another Jew! The scene with the four medical students who ridicule Jason Green because of his Southern Jewish upbringing is still vivid in my mind. It took place at the University of Chicago Medical School. It happened to me and I persevered. I created Jason Green to be the intern I was, although I was not a prodigy, and not as good-looking or athletic.

Jason came out when he was in college. I came out much later after 19 years of marriage, at

How do you feel about the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing same-sex marriages?

I am thrilled with the decision. I never believed I would see attitudes about same-sex marriage change during my lifetime. However, by the time I began writing The Intern I anticipated we would eventually get this ruling. New York had already ruled for same-sex marriage. I also never believed that I would live to see the destruction of the Soviet Union or a black president of the United States.

Do you have any advice for students wanting to enter the field of medicine?

You have to love taking care of people to be a doctor. All the rules and regulations, technical and insurance issues make practicing medicine difficult. They take time away from the doctor/ patient relationship. It is more difficult today to maintain a strong bond between the doctor and patient.

Tell us about your daily weekday routine.

I am at the office at 5:30 a.m., making telephone recordings for my patients that includes information about their labs. I see patients from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m., and return home around 6 p.m. I workout and walk on the treadmill each evening, while watching television series like Breaking Bad on Netflix.

What is your favorite entertainment?

I love music and jazz, particularly Dave Brubeck.

I enjoy the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and have traveled to Europe with the SLSO as their doctor. After one of our trips, I was honored to conduct the orchestra at Queeny Park in Stars and Stripes. I also enjoy the Fox Theatre, The Rep and the St. Louis Chamber Music Society.

Fun is the consummate word. I like to have fun in my life, whether it is visiting New York to see Broadway plays or using my commercial pilot’s license to fly private airplanes. The most fun in life so far has been writing my book...Hopefully, The Intern is the first of my many novels.

InQuizative IF YOU’VE TROLLED SOCIAL MEDIA, LATELY you will notice a trend. Every few posts, there will be a quiz asking you what kind of ____ you are.

Answer a series of questions; and just like that, you can learn what type of fruit you are or which character from the TV show Friends you are.

Occasionally, I will stop and take one; you know, if I’m late to pick up Punch or there’s something boiling over on the stove. Last week, I saw one that promised to tell me what color I am. Why? I’m not sure. How? Again, not sure, but it’s a quiz and it’s on Facebook, so it must be legit. Turns out, I am yellow. Well, that is just patently absurd. Assuming they aren’t referencing jaundice, describing me as metaphorically yellow...please. I’m green, for sure; red, on occasion; and definitely blue. But, yellow?

Yellows make things from scratch for the school bake sale, organize charity events and garden.

Yellows take yoga and recycle and know their mail carrier’s kids’ names. Yellows have a secret Xanax prescription and thinly veiled road rage. If I’m a yellow, it’s with a heavy dose of blue...which, I guess, makes me green.

There’s a quiz to determine which president you most admire. Of course, you could just ask me.

I know who it is. It would be strange to discover after all these years that rather than Mr. Jefferson, the president I’ve actually been admiring was Millard Fillmore. Who knew? You can discover which superhero you are (I am Superman), which Disney princess—which is weird because is there a difference? Which Julia Roberts movie character

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER are you—again, with the Disney Princess question. Which Greek God you are (I am Poseidon).

Want to know which member of the royal family you are most like? Which Harry Potter character you resemble? Which day of the week you are?

There’s a quiz for that. You can even take a quiz to determine how you would have died on the Oregon Trail. Apparently, surviving the journey is not an option.

Clearly, these darn things hold some appeal.

Although I think at this point, most of us scroll past them. The ‘Which Character from The Godfather’ quiz caught my eye, but I’m terrified: I’m Fredo, so I’m not going to take it. I could handle being Tessio, or even Mo Green, but Fredo? I don’t know why it matters. I don’t know why we are drawn by a need to categorize or explain our personalities, but clearly we do. I guess there’s comfort in knowing there are other Rachels or Yellows or Jasmines or Apollos out there. Who knows? I’m going to take one last quiz, though, and figure out which punctuation mark I am. It seems so obvious...

REVIEWS THEATER REVIEW

BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

Mr. Holmes LAST-CASE SCENARIO

RATING: 8 out of 10

L

ET’S GET RIGHT TO it, shall we?

Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) is past his prime. He has retired to a lovely home in the English countryside with just his housekeeper, Mrs. Munro (Laura Linney), and her son, Roger (Milo Parker), to keep him company, while he tends to his apiary and fights the onset of senility. Despite the tranquility of retirement, his last case continues to haunt him: a husband confounded by his wife’s mysterious behavior, and ultimately, her death. Holmes struggles against his failing faculties to recall the circumstances of the case, and why he feels he failed so miserably. With young Roger as protégé, Holmes desperately tries to remember the woman and the events of 30 years ago.

Just go see it. This film is intelligent and well-constructed, brilliantly acted and visually beautiful. Do not go into this expecting a Holmes-and-Watson solve-the-case Baker Street whodunit; this story is more about the man than the mystery.

Train Wreck

A (NOT SO) FINE ROMANCE RATING: 6 out of 10

R

OMANTIC COMEdies can be tough.

On one hand, they require a romance— hence, the name, And on the other, laughs. We go to see them, expecting that tried-and-true formula of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy wins girl back. Attraction, obstacle, happy ending. You can see how working within that paradigm can make originality difficult; so when a smart, fresh rom-com comes around, we take notice.

Amy (Amy Schumer) is a mess. She’s a promiscuous party girl with no hope or desire for a stable relationship. The longingrained message from her bitter, cynical father Gordon (Colin Quinn) that monogamy doesn’t work clings to her like the smoke from last night’s club. When her ruthless editor Dianna (Tilda Swinton) assigns her a story about an up-and-coming sportsmedicine doctor to the stars, Aaron (Bill Hader), she isn’t prepared for the kind, funny man who greets her. Despite their attraction, she can’t seem to buy into the fairy tale.

It is absolutely one of the funniest films I have seen in a while.

The dialogue is witty and biting, and Schumer (also the writer) pulls no punches. Unfortunately, director Judd Apatow and crew try to pull decent performances out of several sports stars, to no avail. Hader and Schumer are charming on-screen, but it is incredibly difficult to believe that this trainwreck of a woman could do a complete 180, all because of the love of a good man.

I’m all for happily ever after, but come on. The movie is way too interesting to be wrapped up with a neat little rom-com bow.

The Killing of Sister George

BY MARK BRETZ

THE STORY For six years, actress June Buckridge has been playing the primary role of Sister George in the BBC radio serial, Applehurst.

She’s grown accustomed to the part and the security it provides for her and her apartment mate, Alice ‘Childey’ McNaught, who refers to June as ‘George,’ as do many people who know her.

So it comes as a shock to George when she learns surreptitiously that Broadcasting House is considering some major changes to Applehurst that involve the beloved Sister George. She’s especially worked up when she learns that Mrs. Mercy Croft, a company executive, wants to talk with her about her ‘future’ with the show.

Sister George may be the kindly, lovable nurse to the residents of Applehurst; but at home, June is partial to hard drinking, smoking cigars and browbeating the naïve Childey.

With her world seemingly collapsing, George frantically looks for a way to salvage her part, her livelihood and her life itself before financial ruin and emotional destruction push her over the edge.

HIGHLIGHTS When Frank Marcus wrote this dark comedy in 1965, the theme of lesbian love and sex was barely whispered, much less explored on stage. The St. Louis premiere of this clever work is stylishly directed

by Brooke Edwards in a handsomely wrought presentation.

Edwards and her colleagues have made the decision to combine the first two acts before a single intermission, which probably isn’t necessary, given the more leisurely approach to theater in the ’60s, in which this work is set. Regardless, that doesn’t put a damper on some truly superior acting that further propels the show.

GROUP: Max & Louie Productions VENUE: Wool Studio Theatre, Jewish Community Center, 2 Millstone Drive DATES: July 24-26 TICKETS: $30-$35; 1-800-8383006 or maxandlouie. com RATING: A 4.5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

More reviews available at laduenews.com

Lavonne Byers instinctively seems to know how to convey the roles she plays, never more than in the over-the-top ‘butch’ approach to George.

Shannon Nara embodies the attributes of Childey’s name early in the production, then surprises the viewer with an increasingly coy and manipulative approach that indicates how her character knows what she wants and how to obtain it.

Erin Kelley is as pent-up with her tightly pursed lips as she is with Mercy’s repressive garments in acutely depicting the cold-hearted broadcasting executive, while Cooper Shaw adds some broad comedy as the wild-haired and highly theatrical fortune teller.

Marcus considered his effort to be a parody of popular British serials, while others think of Sister George as a black comedy rather than a period drama.

It’s probably a combination of all of those, and it’s definitely a theatrical delight by any definition.

Handlebar

Russian Revolution

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

HANDLEBAR ALWAYS HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR go-to places in the Grove for a drink or two, and maybe a game of pool. The funky decor, from the various bike parts adorning the walls to the reused church pews at the tables, gives Handlebar an atmosphere that’s most amenable for imbibing and generally just hanging out. There’s always been a food menu, but we never took much notice.

Recently, though, the bill of fare was revamped and we decided to drop by to sample some of the comestibles.

When the menu has a page titled ‘Things You Must Try,’ it’s probably a good idea to give a couple of the items a go. Handlebar’s menu has just such a page; and we took its advice and tried a cup of Mama’s Borsch ($5) and a dram of Handlebar’s Knob Creek Single Barrel, a bourbon from a barrel they chose themselves. Borsch gets a bad rap in popular culture, usually lumped into the same category of bland ‘peasant food’ as porridge and the like. The borsch at Handlebar will definitely change that perception. Served either hot or cold (we opted for the cold version, due to the summer heat) this flavorful beet soup is full of other tasty veggies, as well, and garnished with some aromatic dill.

On to the Snacks portion of the menu, where the Baltic Banh Mi ($9) and the Pimento Cheese ($5) made the cut. The Banh Mi is sort of a flatbread take on the traditional Vietnamese sandwich, a crispy crust topped with peppers, cilantro and cucumbers, along with some whitefish, the ‘Baltic’

in the title. Fresh and savory, it’s a perfect light starter. The pimento cheese is pretty straightforward—a crock of said Southern delicacy, served with some crostini to spread it on. Plenty tasty, though ours wasn’t as warm as expected.

Handlebar also offers a selection of salads and pizzas, among other tempting items, but since the restaurant’s focus is on Russian cuisine, we decided on two classics: the Pierogi ($5) and the Blinchiki. The Pierogi, which comes two to an order, changes up weekly. During our visit, there was a choice of either pork or potato and cheese filling up those crispy dumplings. Carb fans that we are, the potato won out. The Blinchiki, a filled Russian crepe that’s baked, has a staggering array of fillings to choose from; and can be ordered either as a single blinchiki with a Mediterranean side salad for $7, or two blinchiki for $9. We got the single plus salad. For our filling, we chose the gravlax option, which includes salmon, dill sour cream, arugula and red onion. This, plus the salad, a standard mix of greens, olives, feta and tomatoes, is a hearty meal in and of itself, especially when paired with a cold beer or two.

While we’ll still drop in for a drink when we’re in the neighborhood, Handlebar is now on our list of places to grab a quick, quality nosh. Take our advice and put it on yours, as well.

THE WINE LIFE

What I’m Drinking Now:

All That Sparkles

W

BY STANLEY BROWNE, CSW

HEN IT COMES TO sparkling wine, Champagne always is tops, but Champagne isn’t the only bubbly that sparkles.

Other sparkling wines like Cava, prosecco and Crémant, among others, have closed the quality gap, while generally remaining more affordable than Champagne. And they are great for celebrating every day.

Often of good value, sparkling wine is made in most major growing regions, and available in different styles, from dry to sweet. We now have more selections available in the U.S., as sales and consumption of both domestic and imported sparkling wine have increased steadily in the last decade.

As we slowly continue to ‘sparkle’ beyond celebratory occasions, let’s take a look at some of the main sparkling regions (not Champagne) and the wines they produce:

NV Lucien Albrecht, Brut Rosé – Cremant D’Alsace 100-percent pinot noir Tasting notes of attractive red berry fruits, nuts and citrus peel, with fresh crispness.

This winery started in 1425, and makes typical wines of Alsace, as well as sparkling.

Cremant is sparkling wine outside of Champagne, and made in many parts of France: Burgundy, Alsace, Loire, Bordeaux, Limoux, Savoie, Jura and Rhone. It is made second fermentation, just like Champagne.

2013 Naveran, Brut Rose – Cava, Spain 60-percent pinot noir, 40-percent parellada – Méthode Champenoise Color: Pale strawberry Aroma: Melon, strawberry, bright red berries Taste: Fresh fruits: strawberry, citrus; good acidity, with mineral, lingering finish.

Naveran Winery is located in the center of the Alt Penedes, Catalonia in northeast Spain, west of Barcelona. This a quality Cava producer and a great value. Part of the reason for quality is that it is run by grape growers and wine producers who use sustainable farming practices.

Cava is produced in many communes in and around Catalonia. It is made Méthode Champenoise, second fermentation in-bottle, which is the same method as Champagne.

Permitted grapes are macabeu, parellada, xarel-lo, chardonnay, pinot noir and sbirat. Made in many styles, from extra-dry to sweet.

2010 Domaine Carneros by Tattinger, Brut – Carneros, Napa 51-percent chardonnay, 49-percent pinot noir Tasting notes of pear, golden apple, honey, lemon zest, brioche; and a long, silky finish.

NV Cleto Chiarli, Lambrusco Secco – Modena, Italy 100-percent lambrusco Tasting notes of red fruits like strawberry and cherry, with mineral and soft mousse (bubbles)—a dry red sparkling, think of pairing it with salumi and prosciutto.

Lambrusco, similar to prosecco, uses the Charmat method for second fermentation. It runs the gamut, from dry to sweeter, although most people assume lambrusco is sweet. Try a dry red sparkling lambrusco—you may be pleasantly surprised.

NV Treveri, Blanc de Blanc, Extra Brut – Columbia Valley, Washington State 100-percent chardonnay Tasting notes of citrus, melon; and a creamy finish.

Domestic sparkling sales have increased year after year, producing good wine at affordable prices, as compared to Champagne. Better domestic sparkling also is made Méthode Champenoise. Many French Champagne houses have been established wineries in California, Oregon and Washington, such as Tattinger, Moet & Chandon (Domaine Chandon), G.H. Mumm (Mumm Napa), and Louis Roederer (Roederer Estate).

TASTING TIP: Serve your sparkling wines to correct temperature: prosecco (46 to 60 degrees), lambrusco (48 to 52 degrees), Méthode Champenoise (46 to 50 degrees). General rule: If stored in the fridge, pull out and allow to stand for 10 to 20 minutes for desired temperature. You want to enjoy wine the way it should taste—and temperature does affect it.

WINE RECOMMENDATION: Sparkling wine pairs well with so many foods. So what’s the best food to pair with sparkling? May I suggest a book recommendation: What to Drink with What You Eat by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page. This a great resource for any foodie and wine enthusiast.

2010 Argyle, Brut – Willamette Valley, Oregon 55-percent chardonnay, 45-percent pinot noir Tasting notes of lemon peel, strawberry, fresh ciabatta dough, creamy mid-palette, persistent finish.

Argyle probably is the best-known sparkling in Oregon. The winery also produces classic pinot noirs.

Certified Sommelier Stanley Browne is the owner of Robust Wine Bar in Webster Groves and Downtown at the MX.

PHOTO BY BRYAN SCHRAIER

Other sparkling styles:

NV Bonotto Delle Tezze, Brut Prosecco – Treviso, NE Italy 100-percent glera Tasting notes of green apple and white floral tones, with persistent finish.

Prosecco is made with the base wine being fermented, racked/filtered and then going through secondary fermentation in large containers to produce the bubbles, also known as Charmat method.

WINE EXCELLENCE! “Da Vinci Pinot Grigio from the Delle Venezie region in Italy is exceptionally well balanced with floral aromas, tropical fruit flavors and a clean finish. Perfect paired with light pasta dishes.

Oregon’s King Estate Acrobat Pinot Gris, which is the same grape from a different region than Pinot Grigio, has aromas of lemon cream for a savory accent. Its mouth feel is crisp and clean with the acidity to match. Enjoy with grilled calamari!”

HAIR LOSS continued from page 47 for something other than alopecia. Blood tests may be the first step, he says. “Treatment, of course, will depend on the cause,” he adds. “If we find a nutritional deficit, a thyroid disorder or a metabolic problem, we will fix that, and the patient will get better, and that’s what happens in most cases. But it can take some time to figure it out.”

For any form of alopecia that involves inflammation, topical steroids may be used to help suppress the inflammation, Rosman explains.

“We often inject steroids directly into the affected areas on the scalp for a more powerful and long-lasting effect. Sometimes oral medications are used, as well—these may have

Washington University.

This coming March, Westminster and the National Churchill Museum on campus will celebrate the 70th anniversary of Winston Churchill’s visit to the college. The commemoration of Churchill’s famous ‘Iron Curtain’ speech reflects the global stage that Westminster brings to its students, alumni, friends, and partners; and I look forward to inviting my St. Louis friends to celebrating the historical mark with me.

Like I said, this is not goodbye. It’s simply the beginning of new, awesome chapter.

anti-inflammatory effects or may work by damping down the immune system. For common baldness, we recommend topical minoxidil (known as Rogaine) and may refer a patient for hair transplantation, if desired.”

If you’re worried about losing hair, Ring suggests doing a ‘hair count.’ “It’s normal to shed 50 to 100 hairs per day on non-shampoo days, and even more on days you shampoo. Depending on the length of your hair, 50 hairs can look quite substantial!” Count the hairs you shed in a 24-hour period, including those on the pillowcase, clean hairbrush, shower, etc., but only those with roots at the ends, she says. Perform counts on three separate days to make sure your counts are accurate. In excess of 100 to 150 hairs with roots is reason to talk with your dermatologist.

ANSWERS ON PAGE 68

TRUSTEE continued from page 41 of the assets in the trust for their services.

Usually, the trustee is either involved directly in the creation of the trust or told about it shortly after it’s created, Kuntemeier notes.

“The grantor, beneficiary and trustee normally meet, so everyone is on board at the same time; unless there is something the grantor doesn’t want the beneficiaries to know about. The trustee signs the document, anyway, so you have to be aware of what is expected of you and what actions would cause you to step in.”

Ralph Crancer, also of Mueller Prost, adds that updating the trust regularly is necessary to keep it relevant. “That’s probably the biggest mistake people make; they throw them in the safe-deposit box, and by the time they need it, they’re so out of date that they’re meaningless.

You also need to title your assets in the name of the trust; a lot of people think that’s done. If you don’t title the assets properly, it’s a useless document.”

And in case the choice of trustee doesn’t end up being a good fit for the beneficiaries, it’s a good idea to build in a relief mechanism so they can change trustees, if needed, Obedin suggests.

“It should require that the new trustee be qualified...It might say they have to manage at least a certain dollar amount of assets to be qualified, which would prevent your friend from setting up a trust company to be a corporate trustee for this one client.”
