EDITOR’S NOTE

THERE’S ALMOST ALWAYS ONE SCENE IN EVERY MOVIE THAT WILL make me cry. On the other hand, my husband has rarely gotten teary-eyed in the 20 years or so we’ve been watching movies together. Perhaps he’s too busy watching me sob/blubber/bawl—yes, I’ve been known to let the tears flow in the first two minutes of The Notebook (with a line like I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and for me that has always been enough, how could you not?), and also the entire second half of The Bridges of Madison County, knowing how doomed Robert and Francesca’s romance was.

This week, NPR presented its survey about the movies that make men cry.

Bottom line, it found one man in Hollywood who can consistently get it done: Tom Hanks. From Philadelphia and Forrest Gump to Toy Story and Captain Phillips, it seems Mr. Hanks can make even the manliest man reach for his hank-y.

So, I performed my own survey on Mr. Tobin, expecting him to say Cast Away or The Green Mile. Of course, he throws me a curve: Edward Scissorhands, he says. Go figure!

Debbie Baldwin The satisfying blend of a friendly small town and urban-savvy (and the Cardinals).

Sarah Conard I’m most proud of the way we support cultural events, such as the Shakespeare Festival in Forest Park, which is my favorite summertime tradition.

Lisa Watson Our world-class, yet affordable, cultural institutions and parks make St. Louis an enriching place to live. Just Forest Park alone would be a gem for any city, but every corner of the metro area is packed with unique ways to spend an afternoon.

The luncheon honors corporations, foundations and individuals that have made significant contributions to the park’s restoration.

The 120-page book contains a collection of award-winning photographs, from Citygarden and Tower Grove Park to the Delmar Loop and beyond. The Sheldon exhibit runs through Aug. 23; the book is available in The Sheldon’s gift shop and at local bookstores.

WORD AROUND TOWN There’s a new star on the ST. LOUIS WALK OF FAME: Awardwinning broadcaster and former Cardinals All-Star TIM McCARVER was inducted earlier this week during a ceremony in the Delmar Loop. McCarver made his debut with the Cardinals in 1959 at the age of 17, and played for four decades before retiring in 1980.

He went on to the broadcast booth, working for all four major television networks, and calling 24 World Series from 1985 to 2013.

LIVING SAINT LOUIS ART MUSEUM

What’s In A Name?

A

BY LISA WATSON

MONG ST. LOUIS’ MOST iconic landmarks is Art Hill, crowned by the Saint Louis Art Museum, with a statue of the city’s namesake, Louis IX, seated gallantly atop his horse.

But few—even those born and bred here—know much about this 13th-century monarch turned saint.

The Saint Louis Art Museum will change all of that with its upcoming exhibit, Louis IX: King, Saint, Namesake. In two galleries, the exhibition will explore the art commissioned under Louis IX, as well as his ongoing legacy. “It’s good to appreciate and understand why Pierre Laclede would have chosen that name for the city,” says Judy Mann, curator of European art to 1800, who co-curated

the exhibit with Elizabeth Wyckoff, curator of prints, drawings and photographs. “Partly it’s because Louis’ ancestors were from the same general region of France as Laclede’s ancestors, but he was also an important saint at that time.”

The exhibit was conceived as part of the stl250 festivities and includes the iconic statue itself. “So many people come to see the statue, but there’s very little information available about it,” Mann says. “It was made in plaster for the World’s Fair in 1904, as one of many sculptures around the fair. The organizers felt that would be the perfect one to give to the city of St. Louis to celebrate the success of the fair, and it was cast in bronze and eventually moved to Art Hill.”

NEW MARKET HARDWARE CO. 100 Years SINCE 1914, NEW MARKET HARDWARE CO. HAS BEEN PROVIDING supplies and tools in the Midtown area. Owner Steve Schneider explains that the century-old business came into his family by way of Oscar Brand, who purchased it from the Dugan brothers in the mid-1920s.

Later, Brand sold the business to his sister, Bess, and her husband, Harry ‘Dutch’ Schneider (Steve’s grandfather). Schneider says his father, Gene, joined New Market Hardware shortly after World War II, and he has been involved since 1981.

Unique photos of ‘Dutch’ can be seen around the store. “He was the deputy athletic commissioner for the state of Missouri for a period of about 15 to 20 years; it was more of a figure-head title, but it did require that he go to all the sports venues for wrestling and make sure they were in compliance with licenses and the like,” Schneider says. “He always made sure to get plenty of pictures of himself with all of the different wrestlers.”

When thinking about the future, Schneider says that his business—like any other business—has to constantly reinvent itself to stay relevant to its

customer base. “In our case, our customer base is primarily commercial and industrial customers,” he says. “And they don’t have a lot of time to send their people all over town to procure supplies, so they rely on us to come up with the materials that they need to get their jobs done in a timely fashion.” New Market Hardware maintains multiple delivery drivers to make sure customers receive much-needed supplies as quickly as possible.

“Most other hardware stores tend to be mostly self-serve, and we try to have a sales person help each person that comes in to the store,” says Schneider. “It’s a little more expensive to operate that way, but…it helps to develop a more personal relationship with our customers.”

Saint Louis Club

SAINT LOUIS CLUB 50 Years THE SAINT LOUIS CLUB IS RINGING IN HALF-A-CENTURY later this year. Helane Bernath, the private dining club’s director of marketing and membership, says the anniversary celebration will be one of the biggest events the club has ever held. All three floors will hold food stations, such as a sea island buffet and a pulled-sugar station, as well as live music. Five guest chefs will be in attendance, offering exciting culinary experiences for all invited.

A Saint Louis Club ‘museum’ will be displayed on the 14th floor, and will contain information about the founders, the club’s beginnings and the like. The evening will wrap up with a balloon drop, complete with prizes. Bernath says that gala chair, Dr. William Sasser, and his committee have been working on this celebration for the past year.

The Saint Louis Club underwent a major renovation in recent years, but still maintains the traditional, luxurious ambiance members would expect, Bernath says. Thanks to its location atop the Pierre Laclede Center, members and their guests always enjoy sweeping views of St. Louis. The anniversary event is scheduled for Oct. 18.

LADUE FLORIST

THE ART OF ENTERTAINING 20 Years ANN LEMCKE WAS WORKING WITH HER BROTHER AT HIS CATERING company, Butler’s Pantry, when she began to notice a lot of requests for small orders, such as a single casserole. “The small stuff wasn’t something we did,” Lemcke says. “I knew immediately maybe this would be a good fit for me.”

Lemcke opened The Art of Entertaining in 1994. “I started with myself, a chef and a dishwasher.” Originally, the store sold items for entertaining, as well, such as platters and candles. “Very quickly, I found out nobody wanted those things, and that they wanted food. The food part started growing and the other part went to the wayside,” she explains. “Here we are, 20 years later, and we have 18 employees and we sell our food in three different stores.” In addition to catering, the company offers carry-out breakfast, lunches and dinners.

The Art of Entertaining’s current location in Webster Groves is easy-tospot, thanks to its unusual color: pink. “When I first painted the building pink, I had people who literally took a petition through the neighborhood saying, We want that color changed,” Lemcke says. The petition was unsuccessful— apparently, one man even explained that her white bean chili was too good to petition against—and Lemcke says the color really got people talking about her company.

Lemcke notes that most of her staff has been with the company for more than 10 years. “I feel really fortunate to have a wonderful staff who really cares about the product, the Art of Entertaining and people having a great meal. My success is not just because of me, that’s for sure.” The official anniversary is Oct. 21. Lemcke says the company will offer promotions, tastings and giveaways throughout the entire month.

35 Years ON MARCH 1 OF THIS YEAR, LADUE FLORIST CELEBRATED 35 YEARS under its present leadership. Current owner Marianne Przetak purchased the shop in 1979, but the business was started in the early 1960s by Dorthy Borgers.

“I’ve worked with so many wonderful customers over the years, and have met so many lovely people,” Przetak says.

Przetak recalls a memory that particularly stands out among the 35 years of business. “Several years ago, when the Saint Louis Art Museum hosted Art in Bloom, the theme was the 1904 World’s Fair. Our staff created a 9-foot floral clock that was reminiscent of the clock that was planted in Art Hill at the World’s Fair,” she says, adding how rewarding it was to see her staff work together to create such a fabulous result.

“Over the past 35 years, Ladue Florist has included many different personalities, and we’ve all learned a lot from each other as we worked hard together,” Przetak says. “I’m grateful to all the individuals who contributed to our growth and success. The future continues to be challenging. We continue to strive to provide superior service, quality products and an exciting shopping experience—and to stay connected with our regular customers, and find new ones.”

The Gatesworth

Class is in Session

By Julia Christensen

h, the back-to-school season. It’s time for new pencils and notepads for classes like philosophy, art, current events, literature and computer skills.

Does this sound like the schedule of a 20-something coed? It’s actually just a few commonplace activities and classes of Gatesworth resident Gladys Barker.

“I really have to keep my calendar in front of me because I have something going on all the time,” says Barker, who also is involved with fitness, book club, bridge and more. “I would feel awful if I couldn’t be a contributing member of society.

I would hate to just sit around…I have to have stimulation. I think it’s terribly important.”

One popular lecture series offered is The Gatesworth’s Philosophical Café, which is led by a Webster University professor. “We suggest a topic to discuss—for instance, are wars ever

moral?—and we never come to a conclusion, but everybody has an opinion,” Barker says. “It’s interesting to see how differently some people look at the subjects.”

Barker also has been attending the Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) at Washington University for some 20 years. Upcoming LLI classes range in topic from the Architectural History of St. Louis, to Politics, to Art Appreciation: Cubism. And she’s not alone; many other Gatesworth residents are involved with LLI, such as Suzanne Wohl, who served as an LLI facilitator for nearly 20 years.

Wohl, who studied theatre in college, also teaches a Shakespeare course at The Gatesworth.

She says the once-a-month program draws 50 to 60 people, during which a Shakespeare play is performed in one hour. “Some of these people had never read Shakespeare in their lives, and they’re getting so much out of it now,” Wohl says.

BEA FELDEWERTH

See How Her Garden Grows

BY BLAISE HART-SCHMIDT

August 8, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

PHOTO BY SARAH CONARD‌

‌W

IND CHIMES HUM AND GIGGLE IN THE wind, and neighbors sit peacefully on their decks enjoying the unusually comfortable summer day as Bea Feldewerth walks up and down the length of her garden, inspecting plants.

The 72-year-old lives at Twin Oaks at Heritage Pointe, and spends 30 minutes to an hour—sometimes more—every day in her garden, growing produce to share with the 130 other residents throughout the spring, summer and fall.

Raised on a farm in St. Paul, Missouri, Feldewerth says there always was something to do for her and her 12 siblings. From the time she was old enough to pull weeds, there’s never been a year she hasn’t had a garden. When she and her husband, Dave, moved to Twin Oaks three years ago, one of the first things she asked for was space to plant some seeds.

Her garden stretches the back length of the independent-living wing of Twin Oaks, in beds likely meant for shrubs or flowers. Industrialstrength wire cages hold up super steak, jet star and celebrity tomatoes, lemon and regular cucumbers, and bell pepper plants. Oversized zucchini, butternut squash, rhubarb and potato plants sprawl out, threatening to overtake the sidewalk.

(For each plant, Feldewerth offers a recipe—except of course, for the cucumbers and peppers. She doesn’t care for those, she says, but grows them anyway, because other residents like them. This year, she started growing yellow tomatoes, which are less acidic, to appease residents who can’t enjoy the red variety.)

Colorful varieties of flowers tempt bees and add a light fragrance to the air. A sign welcomes residents to harvest any vegetables they please. Each morning, after she exercises, Feldewerth tends to the garden, picking weeds, watering plants and harvesting ripe produce. She takes a few here and there for herself and her husband, but mostly she puts what she grows in a basket in the dining room for everyone to share. The basket empties quickly, she says.

“One lady, she came in to eat around 9 o’clock,” Feldewerth says. “And she said, Where are the tomatoes? I said, Early bird gets the worm! So the next day she came down at 7:30, and she got her tomato.”

Feldewerth already has begun prepping the garden for the fall crops. At the end of the season, she even harvests and dries some seeds to use for the following year. Other residents thank her and compliment her produce, especially the tomatoes.

Everyone loves tomatoes, Feldewerth says. But her favorite is rhubarb pie.

“If you do a little bit every day, you can see the growth and enjoy the fruits and vegetables,” she says. “It’s a little work but it’s a lot of fun.”

Carlo & Betty Bruno

Oh, the Places They Go!

By Brittany Nay

‌C

arlo and Betty Bruno have played golf from St. Andrews in Scotland to courses in Ireland, Italy and Australia. A love for the game brought the pair together at a St. Louis driving range in 1959—and they have been traveling the world together ever since.

After retirement, the travel bug only intensified for Carlo, 88, and Betty, 87. Through Road Scholar, a nonprofit educational travel organization, the couple has jetted off to Europe, China, Australia and New Zealand, among other locales.

They have been mesmerized by the epic Three Gorges Dam spanning the Yangtze River in China, the stunning red glow of Ayers Rock in Australia, and the charming sounds of street musicians in Cuba.

The visit to Cuba—one of the c o u p l e ’s m o s t BETTY BRUNO memorable trips— was sparked by their interest in seeing how it had changed since Carlo traveled there while serving in the U. S. Air Force in the 1940s.

“Everywhere you go, there is someone singing or playing an instrument,” Carlo says.

For the Brunos, travel is all about the educational and cultural experiences—not the shopping.

“Spend your money on trips—not gizmos,” Betty advises. And the pair has unique ways of capturing each new experience. “Every trip we go on, Betty takes the photos, and I do the drawings,” says Carlo, who also is an artist.

While they love to travel, the Brunos also enjoy coming home to St. Louis. The city’s thriving arts scene, from St. Louis Symphony concerts to STAGES St. Louis shows, interests them most.

And, of course, there is time with family: their grandchildren and their wide range of activities, from music lessons to soccer games, keep the couple on their toes.

A typical day at the Bruno home is buzzing with activities in the drawing room—where Betty hand-sews quilts, and Carlo draws everything

“Spend your money on trips—not gizmos.”

from their grandchildren to presidents and golf courses to cars, airplanes and trains. Some of their masterpieces line the walls of their home: Many of Carlo’s scratchboard works grace the walls of the drawing room, and a quilt sewn by Betty, along with members of the Mead Quilters in England, is displayed in their kitchen. The Brunos also are active at their church, St. Gerard Majella Parish, where Carlo has headed up construction projects and Betty always is ready to

create something new with the quilt group. “I’ve always got a quilt in my mind if I don’t have one in the frame,” she says.

But no matter what keeps the Brunos busy in St. Louis, the itch to travel never leaves them.

Betty says the great thing about aging is that you live in the moment, always planning for another trip in the near future—not a decade down the line. “Who knows where we’ll go next?” Carlo says.

STRENGTH-TRAINING

All for the Better

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

‌P

UMPING IRON MAY BE CONSIDERED A younger person’s activity, but in fact, maintaining muscle mass as we age is crucial to health and continued independence. That’s why strength-training is an important part of an exercise routine for older adults.

“Our strength affects all other aspects of fitness, including endurance, flexibility, coordination and balance,” says Carla DeGrande, wellness coordinator at Friendship Village Chesterfield. “Without strength, we are unable to perform any of the activities that make us healthy and fit. Without strength, we have difficulty performing daily chores and activities that enable us to be functionally independent. And as we age, we lose lean muscle tissue, which means loss of strength.”

Nursing homes are populated by more than 70 percent of their residents not because of cognitive decline but because of physical deterioration called sarcopenia, which is the age-related loss of muscle mass, explains Jessica Phillips, operations manager at The Exercise Coach. “Strength-training is the

only thing that can prevent this from occurring,” she says. “Add in the fact that strength-training also can improve your cardiovascular, neurological and skeletal systems, as well as protect against heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, and it becomes not just important but imperative.”

The benefits of strength-training for older adults include stronger muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments; reduction in the negative effects of osteoporosis; improved coordination, motor skills, balance and range of motion; reduction in low-back and arthritis pain; a higher metabolic rate; improved cardiac and respiratory function as chest muscles strengthen; better digestion; and an improved immune system.

As appealing as this may sound, many older adults are justifiably concerned about injuring themselves by lifting weights. “The best possible scenario is enlisting the help of a personal trainer or a group class led by a certified fitness

Dance Therapy

Toe-Tap Your Way to Health

he residents at Garden View Care Centers favor Elvis. Each morning at 9:45, you’ll find residents and staff leaving their other activities to enjoy a burst of dancing. Just a few minutes of music and motion sets the tone for a good day, says Rhonda Uhlenbrock, director of dementia programs.

Uhlenbrock was one of the originators of Garden View’s ‘Happy Feet’ program in 2003. “We wanted to find ways for our residents to experience positive physical touch, not just the interactions when they were being assisted with bathing or meals,” she says. The program was initiated with residents experiencing late-stage dementia, but its popularity soon led to its expansion to all three Garden View locations.

“Some of our older men enjoy dancing with the pretty, young staff,” Uhlenbrock laughs. Other residents who are in wheelchairs dance by having their legs moved or patted by staff members. And the benefits go beyond physical mobility and

enhanced staff-resident relations. “People with dementia may recognize music from a happy time in their life and talk about that memory,” Uhlenbrock says.

While Garden View’s Happy Feet program is relatively informal, there is a more structured dance therapy program locally. Dr. Jean Krampe, assistant professor of nursing at Saint Louis University, led a research team that studied specific benefits of dance for older adults.

Known as Healthy Steps, the program was created by Drs. Joel and Marc Lebed, and Sherry Lebed Davis, a dancer and expert in movement therapy for cancer patients. They dubbed the technique the ‘Lebed Method,’ and offer instructor training and certification.

“We choreographed a Healthy Steps dance routine for this study focused on low-impact flexibility, strength and stretching movements that Continued on page 61

Q&A WITH DR. SHERRIE CAMPELL

Boost Your Co-ed’s Confidence

BY BRITTANY NAY

SENDING A CHILD AWAY TO COLLEGE IS ONE of the most exciting—and nerve-racking—times in families’ lives. Will they succeed academically?

Will they get along with their roommate? Will they be able to live on their own? These are just some of the questions each parent faces as their child enters adulthood. Dr. Sherrie Campbell, a veteran psychologist based in southern California and author of Loving Yourself: The Mastery of Being Your Own Person, says the best way to transition your teen into the next chapter is to instill them with confidence and discipline. LN recently spoke with Campbell, whose specialties include psychotherapy with adults and teenagers, more about how parents can prepare their kids for the privileges and challenges of college life.

How can parents help their teens transition into college?

Parents should start preparing their kids for college as early as age 10. Talk about how they’re going to go to college and what they are going to be. As they apply for college, continue to talk to them about growing and being themselves, but remind them that home is still available, if they need it.

What essential information should parents give their kids?

Remind them of experiences dealing with new people. And remind them to focus on grades—and not partying. The more you talk about this with your kids and stay involved, the better.

How do parents help teens develop self-confidence before college?

When you’re getting out on your own, you need to be able to take care of yourself. Remind them of the importance of chores—make sure they know how to manage a schedule, do their own laundry and clean up after themselves. Teach them to be conscious of the people around them, and prepare them for the party scene by letting them know there are consequences to their actions.

that in the home, they are more likely to do it away from home. Set rules and a curfew because there will be dorm rules. And if a lot of those rules are broken, maybe they lose their car. There have to be consequences because while in college they are still dependent on you financially. You also should have grade expectations if you are supporting their college career. It is incredibly important to set up those ideas because they have to be reaching for something while they’re there. And maybe don’t make them work their first semester, but the second semester they could get a part-time job. Make them responsible for a certain amount of their play-time money.

Why is discipline important for kids going away to school?

You should support them to grow and be independent, but to be responsible, as well. If you do

How can parents model the behaviors they would like to see in their teens?

Parents have to walk what they talk. If they can be disciplined, go to work and be responsible for

carrying on a schedule, then their children are more likely to do that themselves.

Should teens have a mentor in college?

Encourage your teens to get involved in groups, whether it is a sorority or a missions group, because they may not like their roommates. Getting involved in a group or hooking up with a mentor will help them along the journey.

What reminders should parents send away with their kids?

Let them know that they’re loved and supported.

Send them off with all the confidence and love. Kids need to know that they can call home and connect back to home—because they’re still kids. And be involved in their college careers: Go to parents’ day, football games, sorority events, etc. Don’t lose contact with them.

KISSE & the Bernesjo Family

BY LISA WATSON

‌O

NCE UPON A TIME…DOROTHEA AND MATS BERNESJO were looking for a new cat. The couple had been married for about four years, and had recently lost their cat, Claire, to lung cancer. “I had a cat when my husband met me,” Dorothea Bernesjo says. “I told him, I’d like to get another cat, but it’s up to you, because I already had one when you came into this marriage.”

Mats agreed, and they started the search for a new pet.

They visited Animal House Fund, which had come up in their preliminary Internet searches, and were excited to find that it was exclusive to cats. “I thought it was just spectacular because of the way it was set up—you’re able to interact with the cats as you’re choosing one.” The Bernesjos grew fond of one particular cat, called Winona, and took her to a separate room to see how she would interact with them. “For some reason she was just too fascinated with that space, which she had never been in, and she was more into that than us,” Bernesjo says. A little disheartened, they decided to call it a day and come back another time.

When they returned, Dorothea was browsing the room when she noticed Mats seemed to be getting along with one cat in particular.

“She was rubbing his hand, and licking him to pieces,” she recalls.

“I went over to say hi—and it was Winona, the cat who had thought we were nothing!” They realized that despite the initial interaction, this really was the cat for them, and decided on the spot to name her Kisse. The name, which is Swedish for ‘kitty,’ turned out to be a big hit with Mats’ family back home in Sweden.

EXCEPTIONAL LISTINGS

PETS

The staff at Animal House delivered Kisse to the couple’s Hortense Place home, and the Bernesjos have grown to love their new kitty.

“She’s so sweet, so friendly and so loving,” Bernesjo says. “My grief from my other cat is practically gone because of her.” Even Mats, who didn’t grow up with pets, is converted, she says. “He calls her ‘the new model with more features—all the bells and whistles.’ ” Kisse is highly social, belying the common stereotype about aloof cats, Bernesjo says. “If I’m in one room, she’s always there, or I can at least see her in the hallway,” she says. “She even sleeps with us—I’ve never had a cat sleep with me. When cats are asleep, they’re the most vulnerable, so it’s a great sign of affection.”

Kisse also has a few other behaviors that had even the veteran cat owner scratching her head. The couple kept coming home to find their two plush toys—a minion from Despicable Me and a Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc.—in the middle of the carpet. “We couldn’t figure out why, and I talked to some people who told me, She’s bringing you her prizes. It’s like when they kill something and bring it to the owner to show them. She doesn’t have anything to kill, so this is her prize. Now, when she brings us the toys, we always give her praise. I even sent Animal House a picture of her holding Minion in her paws with a caption saying she’s a good provider.”

Pet-Sitter Prep

T

HE BAGS ARE PACKED, PLANE tickets are in hand, and you’re ready for a nice, long vacation. While you’re away, it’s important that Buster gets cared for as lovingly and safely as usual. That’s where finding and preparing for a quality pet-sitter come into play.

Finding the right pet-sitter is crucial to having a safe, enjoyable experience. Cathy Shea, owner of Shea’s Sit and Stay, receives most of her new business from satisfied client referrals. Paul. Paul Flotron, owner of Creature Comforts Great and Small, says another way to locate a qualified petsitter is through a veterinarian. Typically, he says, an experienced pet-sitter will have respected relationships with local vets, who will, in turn, be glad to recommend them.

Clients should look for pet-sitters who are

40

AUGUST 8, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

BY BLAISE HART-SCHMIDT

well-equipped to handle a medical emergency, and be certified in pet CPR. Someone who is connected in the animal community, and associated with a national or international pet sitting association, also is likely to be more qualified, Flotron says.

References give potential clients a good idea of how pet-sitters have treated animals, homes and their owners in the past. A quick Google search should bring up any poor or positive reviews of the company and pet-sitter, as well. Both Shea and Flotron agree that trusting your gut is key to finding a good pet-sitter.

“If the person isn’t upfront with them, or doesn’t express concern for their animals, that’s a warning sign,” Shea says. She adds that booking in advance—up to a year ahead of time for holidays— also is important.

After you’ve found the pet-sitter that’s right for you and your animals, a pre-visit introduction is

essential. Invite the pet-sitter over to get to know the pet, your home, and your animals’ routines.

Flotron suggests compiling comprehensive care instructions to leave with the pet-sitter, including information on feeding, walking, watering, and emergency contact information for you and the vet, as well as friends, family and neighbors.

Information on security access codes and how to reset the circuit breaker also are important. Shea recommends that clients give pet-sitters a tutorial on how to administer any pet medication. The more information you provide, the more likely your pet will stay safe and comfortable while you are away.

“The three most important qualities a petsitter should have are trustworthiness, reliability and dedication,” Flotron says. “This business is personal, professional and customized. Ask yourself if that person is willing to accommodate you fully, or are they just doing a job.”

St. Louisan Joins Prestigious National Portrait Art Firm St. Louis native Elizabeth Skalla has assumed the new post of St. Louis and Chicago sales associate for Portraits Inc., the country’s oldest and largest fine art portrait company, representing more than 150 artists. The daughter of Joyce and Calvin East, and granddaughter of the late Helen and Bob McRoberts, Skalla is a 1975 graduate of MICDS. She brings to the job an in-depth art knowledge, as well as business savvy.

“We are thrilled to have Elizabeth join our team of associates to manage our sales initiatives in these key markets,” says Beverly McNeil, executive partner of Portraits, Inc. “With her impressive background, we are pleased to have Elizabeth grow our company and service our clientele. She is very talented and works extremely well with clients.”

Skalla says St. Louis is an ideal Elizabeth Skalla market for Portraits Inc. “There are countless opportunities in St. Louis with the traditions in our schools, business and law firms, as well as debutantes and weddings,” she explains. “Unlike photography, an original oil portrait has a life of its own and can be admired for generations. They are so beautiful, and there are so many styles and ways to incorporate a portrait into your home, office, business or institution. One artist referred to her work as ‘everywhere art,’ meaning it did not need to be only over the buffet in the dining room.”

A few of you may have rubbed shoulders with the one and only Hutton Wilkinson during his recent appearance and trunk show at Saks Fifth Avenue to benefit the AKC Museum of the Dog. For those not familiar, Wilkinson is the protégé and business partner of the late Tony Duquette, whose audacious, over-thetop interior and jewelry designs made him famous worldwide. Wilkinson has faithfully carried on the Duquette tradition in his interior design work, jewelry line and in the three books he has authored, which chronicle Duquette’s groundbreaking style and influence. Now, Wilkinson is in the news again with the debut of jewelry and home décor for Home Shopping Network. While some of the pieces are unusually understated, the designer’s vivacious trademark style comes through in the Malachite all-cotton 400-thread-count sheet sets, available at HSN.com in a range of vivid colors, including emerald, ruby, orchid, sapphire blue, jade and sandstone.

The Detailed Interior Educates and Delights Those whose tastes lean toward calm, crisp interiors—but also appreciate lavish enhancements—will be interested in the beautifully illustrated book, The Detailed Interior: Decorating Up Close with Cullman & Kravis, the follow-up to Elissa Cullman’s successful Decorating Master Class. In the new book, Cullman turns the reader’s attention to the specifics of decorating with the goal of both educating and delighting.

Called the ‘Dean of American Design’ b y A rc h i t e c t u ra l Digest and included on the AD 100 list since 2000, Cullman presents a glimpse of the private homes whose design inspires and instructs. Photographed especially for the book, featured projects include classic New York City pied-a-terres, Aspen ski retreats, airy Floridian mansions and sprawling Connecticut estates, including Cullman’s own home. The 225 color

illustrations in the 272-page book are accompanied by specific insights into the design decisions that makeup the underlying logic of each highly refined room. Whether it’s a metallic-thread grass cloth wall covering, a dining table made from the brass and hammered copper bottom of a Marche aux Puces chandelier, or the perfect pairing of precious antiques and fine works of art, Cullman reveals specifically how the interior harmony was achieved. Close-up shots also show how the supporting details dovetail in a room, such as a hand-carved moulding that subtly references a window treatment trim.

Cullman & Kravis Inc. was founded in 1984

by Elissa Cullman and the late Hedi Kravis. The firm’s special niche is researching, authenticating and documenting art and antiques, and assisting clients in the building collections which are of interest and value.

Tip-Toeing Through the Tulips

H AT COU L D B E A more vivid harbinger of spring than tulips? And for those of you who dread the cold-weather months, think about the joy of being surrounded by tulips: pink ones, red ones, striped ones—millions of them in every color of the rainbow, sitting in crates at the Aalsmeer Flower Auction outside Amsterdam, Holland, ready to be bid on by thousands of buyers stationed at computer desks worldwide and then shipped to your local florist.

If you are lucky enough to find yourself in Amsterdam, check out this daily spectacle known

STORY BY JUDY CROWELL

as the largest flower auction in the world. Set your alarm early. The auction building is open to the public for tours beginning at 7 a.m. This gigantic display of beauty and frenetic activity is on a scale not to be missed. You’ll never look at a bunch of tulips in the same way again.

Amsterdam has much to offer the early spring visitor. For tulips in a garden setting, head to the fabulous Keukenhof Gardens with 32-plus hectares dotted by more than 7 million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, and their breathtaking color and heady fragrance. There’s not a more beautiful spring garden in the world!

imposing and spectacular building combines the best of old and new. Bright and airy, it boasts a new Asian Pavilion and houses more than 800 years of Dutch art and history, presented in creative chronological order. Lovers of Rembrandt and all 17th-century Dutch Masters will delight in this museum.

With 165 canals and 1,200 bridges, Amsterdam is indeed a ‘watery’ place, so hop on one of the lowslung, glass-ceilinged canal boats for a leisurely tour of the city’s beauty. We highly recommend a nighttime tour by candlelight, when the architecture of the old city center is most effectively illuminated and enjoyed.

Also in and around the city center: the historic Anne Frank House, where the young girl and her family hid during the horrors of the Holocaust.

Another popular stop is the Van Gogh Museum, which houses the largest collection of the artist’s paintings in the world.

For shoppers, the activity takes on a Bohemian flavor in Amsterdam, with flea markets and antique shops at every corner. And, of course, there’s the Red Light District. Alive and well (used as a euphemism), this part of the city’s most historic neighborhood is a major tourist attraction: You’ll see plenty of visitors walking by the enormous windows and under the glow of red lights simply to observe this phenomenon. A reminder: Prostitution is legal in Amsterdam, so be wary of unsavory and un-touristy folks who would come under the heading of thieves and drug-dealers.

For the feeling of being in a Dutch living room, be sure to visit several ‘brown cafes,’ which are akin to the pubs of London and the epitome of cozy watering holes. For a true Dutch breakfast, lunch or dinner try Gartine, a tiny gem where

reservations are a must. Greenwoods is another worthy stop, specializing in eggs Benedicts, smoked salmon and marvelous sandwiches.

Book this one, too. Also try: Bussia for creative and delicious Italian; Vinkeles for French, contemporary cuisine and superb service; and the trendy Café George for the feel of a French brasserie. For nightlife, music, food and fun, try the Supperclub.

Think Amsterdam for spring, and you’ll find that this Dutch capital is indeed a tip-toe through the tulips.

SO, FROZEN, DISNEY’S MOST RECENT animated offering, received an avalanche of critical acclaim. The film won two Academy Awards— Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song— and is being called the best animated feature film since…since what? What are the best animated movies of all time? Where are you failing in the parent (or grandparent) department, if you have deprived the little ones a viewing?

Before we begin, I want to make one thing very clear in what is certainly going to be an unsuccessful attempt to thwart angry emails: This is the whitebread, family-friendly, decidedly American list.

There are some glaring omissions from a true fan of animation, but this is my list. So, without further ado…

10) Sleeping Beauty Really, it’s a draw among the classic three. I just like this one the best.

9) How to Train Your Dragon It’s a movie about faulty assumptions and embracing the individual. Plus, there’s a dragon.

8) The Nightmare Before Christmas The King of Halloween tries to understand the foreign concept of Christmas. It’s dark and creepy and brilliant. I expect nothing less from Tim Burton.

7) Ratatouille The rat who doesn’t want to eat garbage, but rather cook delicious meals, the iconoclast, the rebel.

6) The Little Mermaid Rather than sit around and wait like The Big Three, this Disney princess gives up her voice to walk on dry land and find her Prince. I want to say the message here is keep quiet and the boys will like you, but I’m sure there’s more going on.

5) Shrek Yes they milked this franchise like an overfull cow, but if you just go back to the original, it was

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER

stupendous. Inner beauty is what counts.

4) Beauty and the Beast This movie is great in every way a movie is supposed to be great. A tortured hero, a strong nurturing partner, a stirring plot and Angela Lansbury.

3) Up I defy anyone to watch this movie without getting choked up. A chubby boy scout of indeterminate ethnic origin, a grumpy old man and a long overdue adventure.

2) Toy Story (1-3) So, I cheated a little. Each of the three really deserves its own spot on the list.

1) The Lion King It’s perfect—touching and hilarious. The voices are incredible—James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg—the list goes on.

OPERA REVIEW

BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

Lucy

BEAUTY & BRAINS RATING: 7 out of 10

I

AM E X T R E M E LY cautious of movies that take on the basic rules that govern our world: time, space, gravity, relativity and so forth. It’s possible that I have so much trouble grasping most of the basic premises that when an alternative theory is presented, I know I disagree, but I’m not completely sure why. In any event, I can completely and thoroughly grasp a good movie—and if it’s done well, the science still may be fiction, but it is nonetheless plausible and even interesting.

Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) is a hapless party girl living it up in Taiwan. When her sketchy boyfriend chains a briefcase to her wrist, and orders her to deliver it to a mysterious mobster, she finds herself in the midst of a violent drug deal. When the drug is accidentally released into her system, she begins to access more and more of her brain—quickly becoming a super-human as she fights to recover the powerful substance and come to terms with her new power.

And that’s it: A gorgeous superwoman kicks butt and saves the day. Well, that, and a fairly substantial philosophical thread about the nature of existence, time and mortality. It’s sort of Kill Bill-meets-Gravity, and it’s a very entertaining 90 minutes.

A Most Wanted Man A MOST POINTLESS FILM RATING: 5 out of 10

STREETCAR PHOTO COURTESY OF JOHN LAMB

I

T’S ALWAYS HARD SEEING films with posthumous performances. I don’t mean watching a Jimmy Stewart classic or a Marilyn Monroe comedy.

I mean watching Heath Ledger’s Joker or James Gandolfini in Enough Said. Here, we have Philip Seymour Hoffman (who died in February) in one of his final roles. Sadly, even his brilliant, charismatic performance isn’t enough to help this film.

Hoffman plays Gunther Bachman, a spy in an anti-terrorism unit in Germany. When a Chechen Muslim, Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin), enters the country illegally, all eyes are on him as various government agencies wait for the other shoe to drop.

Meanwhile, Bachman and his group suspect that an influential Muslim doctor, Abdullah (Homayoun Ershadi), is secretly funding radical Islamic groups using his charitable organization as a front. With the help of a legal advocate, Annabel Richter (Rachel McAdams), Bachman slowly realizes that Karpov is an innocent victim. Bachman’s team is tasked with exposing Abdullah, while helping the Karpov gain asylum.

I will be honest: I found the movie tedious. It’s as if the filmmakers let an agenda supercede the story. If the point of the movie is to highlight the incompetence (or malevolence or dysfunction) of anti-terror groups, OK, we get it. I guess I was hoping for a really wonderful, intelligent story. Making a statement at the expense of the plot is inexcusable. In the end, I shrugged my shoulders and thought: So, what else is new?

A Streetcar Named Desire

BY MARK BRETZ

STORY: Blanche DuBois travels from her native Mississippi to the Elysian Fields area of New Orleans and the home of her married sister, Stella Kowalski. Stella is surprised at Blanche’s arrival but quickly learns that Blanche has lost the beloved family estate, Belle Reve, and has packed all of her worldly possessions into her suitcases.

The Kowalskis live in a cramped, first-floor apartment, which makes for even more strained quarters with a guest. The pregnant Stella decides not to tell Blanche about her condition at first; but her fragile sister is put to the test, anyway, when Stella’s blue-collar husband, Stanley, meets the delicate Southern belle for the first time.

COMPANY: Union Avenue Opera VENUE: Union Avenue Christian Church, 733 N. Union Blvd.

DATES: Stanley is the antithesis of the refined Blanche. He bristles at her airs and Aug. 8 and 9 also at the fact that she has squandered an estate that half- belonged TICKETS: to Stella and—by the Napoleonic Code of Louisiana—to Stanley, $15 to $52; as well. While Blanche develops a ‘proper’ romance with Stanley’s 361-2881 friend, Mitch, her world continues to collapse as Stanley reveals or union some truths he’s learned about Blanche and her mysterious past. avenueopera. org

HIGHLIGHTS:

Tennessee Williams’ landmark Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 drama ran for two years on Broadway with stars Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter, Jessica Tandy and Karl Malden. All but Tandy made the 1951 film directed by Elia Kazan (Vivien Leigh reprised her West End role as Blanche). And ever since, the characters of Stanley, Blanche, Stella and Mitch have been etched into the American literary landscape.

In 1998 an operatic rendition commissioned by the San Francisco Opera had its world premiere. Now, it makes its St. Louis premiere at Union Avenue Opera with a strong and sobering production under the incisive direction of Christopher Limber.

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

More reviews available at laduenews.com

Bernardo Bermudez and Katherine Giaquinto share sparks of chemistry that show how Stanley’s primordial impulses brings out Stella’s lusty, earthy nature in response. Both performers bring convincing acting and singing to their roles.

Lacy Sauter also is highly effective as she fills Blanche with delusions of grandeur and affectations of elegance that hide her sordid past. Her scenes with the predatory Stanley accentuate his threatening nature.

Anthony Wright Webb is particularly noteworthy as the shy, respectful Mitch. His singing is tender and heartfelt, making Mitch in some ways the most affected character of all.

Union Avenue Opera’s presentation of A Streetcar Named Desire demonstrates the versatility of Williams’ classic tale of misbegotten love and emotional instability in compelling and cautionary fashion.

A Pizza Story

A Delicious Story to Tell

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

W

ITH ALL OF THE GREAT PIZZA PLACES around town, it takes a lot of confidence to open up yet another one. The folks at A Pizza Story, which bowed earlier this year in Maplewood, have that confidence and it’s definitely warranted.

Located on the eastern end of Manchester Road on Maplewood’s main drag, A Pizza Story has room to spare, with seating that ranges from twotops and booths to a large community table in the middle of the restaurant, plus bar seating and a few tables outside. In the back is the heart of the operation, the wood-fire oven.

In keeping with the name of the place, many of the menu items at A Pizza Story are named after literary genres or have other bookish titles.

The restaurant serves up Neapolitan pies, and the crust is paramount to this style, required to be made from fresh brewer’s yeast and baked in a wood fire, among other provisions. It’s a deceptively simple proposition, but one that can easily go awry if proper mixtures and temperatures aren’t adhered to. We sampled two of the pizza offerings, the Space Opera ($15) and the Thriller ($15) and it’s obvious A Pizza Story has the crust situation well in hand. Both had delicious thin, soft crusts with just a bit of char. Toppings-wise, these pizzas were on opposite ends of the flavor spectrum. The Space Opera has smoked salmon and ricotta, accented with red onion, capers and dill; while the Thriller goes for the heavier, spicier side of things with Spanish chorizo and mozzarella. Of the two, the Thriller had the better balance of flavors, as the subtleties of the mild salmon on the Space Opera were lost somewhat amidst the other toppings. The

pizzas are approximately 12 inches around, making them perfect for sharing or enjoying solo.

Pizzas aside, A Pizza Story also has some stellar apps, salads and pastas. The Fried Calamari ($9) features huge, tender squid rings fried up in a light batter with just a hint of pepper, like you’d find on the cod at a neighborhood fish fry. And the Pear Salad ($9) had an abundance of poached pear on a bed of arugula with a sprinkle of pecans for crunch and some bleu cheese for a sharp counterpoint to the sweet vinaigrette. All in all, a fine balance of flavors and textures. The Villains meat board ($9) (the corresponding cheese board selection is labeled Heroes) had a pretty standard selection of charcuterie (soppresata, salami, pepperoni), served up with bits of salted house-made bread, some olives and capers, and a bit of grain mustard— simple and delicious. The Shells Ragu ($13), one of the two pasta options, is also a simple yet delicious dish, shell pasta and a rich sauce of wine and tomatoes with a bit of Parmigiano-Reggiano on top.

We seriously considered ending things with the Tiramisu or the Bombolini; instead, we went light with a couple of scoops of Gelato ($5)—one lemoncello and one caramel—courtesy of Chef Francesco Velocci of Gusto Gourmet Creamery.

A Pizza Story recently began lunch service, offering a couple of pizza and pasta options at a reduced price, as well as the rest of the regular menu. With a convenient location and some firstrate pizza and assorted fare, A Pizza Story is a fine addition to the St. Louis scene.

Beurre Blanc Sauce Q: Chef, everyone is eating healthier lately and worrying so much about what they eat. I love the taste of butter, but—like everyone else—I need to cut down. What is a good way to satisfy both my craving for butter and still abide by my resolve to eat healthier?

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 c lemon juice

Remember, once you make the sauce, you must keep it warm at approximately 136 degrees to prevent it from ‘breaking.’ You can add different flavoring to the sauce to create many variations out of the same recipe.

A: Well, I, too, love butter. Keep in mind that some fats are good for you. Here is what I do at home (and there are a few ways to change this simple sauce): A beurre blanc (French for white butter) usually is made with vinegar or wine, a little shallot and butter. This sauce not only adds flavor to any dish, but also gives it a light and delicate texture that will make you close your eyes with every bite.

1 shallot, minced

TRY SOME OF THESE:

½ T heavy cream

•

Red wine for a sauce that will complement beef

•

Mustard for a sauce that will complement pork

•

You can add shrimp or lobster, and serve with pasta

•

Add citrus (lemon or lime juice), and serve over asparagus

•

Add brandy and crushed peppercorn to serve with steak

•

And, for dessert, add pineapple and bourbon, and serve over a warm gooey butter cake

Beurre blanc is like a roux—it can be white, hazelnut brown or rich dark brown. As you cook the milk fats, you allow the nuttiness of the butter to come out for a heartier flavor.

If, like me, you are trying to reduce your fat content, this is a good way to get that buttery flavor, and cut down on calorie and fat intake. A teaspoon of butter is more than 51 calories, while a teaspoon of beurre blanc sauce is just approximately 33 calories. Here is a simple recipe:

6 black peppercorns 1 c white wine

½ stick cold butter, diced in 1-inch pieces

DIRECTIONS: Begin by preheating a sauté pan. Add peppercorns, and toast until you begin to release the oils in the peppercorns and smell the aroma of fresh pepper. Add shallots, and continue to cook, ‘sweating down’ the shallot. Deglaze with lemon juice and white wine, and cook down until almost dry.

Reduce heat. Add heavy cream. Slowly melt in the butter, one piece at a time. As the butter begins to emulsify, you may add two pieces of butter at a time. If sauce begins to get thick, add a few drops of cold water.

art MUSEUM continued from page 18 But the true centerpiece of the exhibit will be pages from the Morgan Library Picture Bible, which is believed to have been commissioned by Louis IX himself. Because of the Bible’s value, only two pages could be transported to St. Louis from the Pierpoint Morgan Library. “On each page, there are four or more different scenes, richly illustrated,” Mann says. The pages in the exhibit depict Old Testament scenes of Joseph in Egypt and Joshua fighting epic battles. “These scenes aren’t frequently illustrated,” she says, adding, “It’s really amazing to see how much time and effort goes into these beautiful things.”

Alongside the manuscript will be a video showing how the parchment was prepared, as well as a chance to have a hands-on look at authentic, undecorated parchment. “We want people to come and really have the chance to touch and feel things,” Mann says. This is a unique opportunity, since the paint on ancient manuscripts often is so delicate that it would be damaged by being handled. “The parchment itself looks and feels like heavy-duty paper. You realize how incredibly strong it is: It doesn’t disintegrate or crease. That’s one of the reasons we have so many fabulous books that survive from the Medieval period.”

Other objects of note include a relief created

by St. Louis sculptor Walter Hancock, who was featured in the book and movie, The Monuments Men. The relief depicts Charles Lindbergh’s historic flight—not in a literal way, but through an illustration of Louis IX as the metaphorical Spirit of St. Louis releasing a falcon to flight.

There also is an altar piece from the Basilica of St. Louis, King (The Old Cathedral) that features Louis IX kneeling before the Crown of Thorns.

“Louis was admired by Christians in those days because he was pious, charitable and fed the poor, and that reputation followed him; but the single-most important thing associated with him is the Crown of Thorns,” Mann says.

The exhibit runs Aug. 29 through Nov. 2.

Strength-Training continued from page 30 instructor,” advises Carrie Montrey, assistant executive director for The Gatesworth. “And many older adults find it helpful to consult their physician before beginning a new fitness regime.”

In most cases, strength-training programs can be tailored for an individual’s physical capabilities and with his or her medical issues in mind. “I have never known of one doctor who did not approve starting an exercise program,” DeGrande says. “It’s worth the investment to learn proper form by hiring a nationally certified personal trainer who specializes in senior fitness.” Seniors who live outside of a retirement community or care setting may find qualified trainers at local gyms or community centers.

For instance, Phillips uses a method known as ‘Right-Intensity Training.’ “It’s just our way of explaining that no matter the age or health of our clients, we are able to leverage our technology and system to ask for just the right amount of effort to stimulate positive adaptations,” she says. “In the case of people with health

DancE THERAPY

For classes off-campus, Gatesworth residents can travel to LLI—or anywhere else, for that matter—in style, thanks to the limousine services.

“We get a limo full of friends, and I decide on a restaurant—I don’t tell them what it is—and we pile in the limo and they’re very surprised when we get there,” Barker says. “Then, somebody else takes a turn.”

But for those looking to stay closer to home, plenty of things are being offered on The Gatesworth campus. “The Gatesworth goes out of its way to make sure its programs are varied, and interesting and appealing to the residents here,” Wohl says.

could be performed seated or standing,” Krampe says. “We used a team of certified Lebed Method instructors who were experts in older adults, to ensure each movement would not aggravate hip or knee pain.”

Each Healthy Steps class begins with a ‘lymphatic opening’ (warm-up), that uses basic breathing and range-of-motion techniques sequenced to impact the lymphatic system, and the movements are choreographed to music that appeals to the participants.

“This is the third small study we have completed with older adults and dance-based therapy,” Krampe says. “This study, focused on older adults with knee and/or hip pain, was the first chronic-condition study we’ve completed.

We have positive preliminary results, but we need to conduct a larger study to establish the

conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, we strongly encourage those clients to take part in our ‘Metabolic C o m e b a c k .’

This is a 30-day nutrition a n d exe rc i s e program that has had remarkable success lowering blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar and body fat.”

De G ra n d e suggests that most older adults can begin with exercises using three- or five-pound dumbbells two or three times per week. And Phillips adds the most important thing is that there’s a difference between activity and exercise. “Exercise is about forcing the body to make a positive adaptation, and strength-training is the crucial element.”

“Exercise is about forcing the body to make a positive adaptation, and strengthtraining is the crucial element.”

therapeutic dose effect, and confirm the cumulative effect of dance-based therapy for older adults with osteoarthritis of the knee.” The 12-week study was conducted with 34 residents of a senior-citizen apartment complex, mostly women with an average age of 80.

Study results were published in the journal Geriatric Nursing, and reported that participants experienced less pain and an ability to walk faster at the conclusion of the study period. The findings are significant because older adults who walk too slowly are more likely to fall, become hospitalized or require care from others, Krampe says. “Walking just a little more rapidly can make enough of a difference for a person to get across the street more quickly or get to the bathroom faster, which keeps them functional and independent,” she adds. “In our study, those who danced didn’t walk dramatically faster, but they had a meaningful change in their walking speed.”
