September 6, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

One of the most anticipated events of the fall season is coming soon: The third annual LADUE NEWS SHOW HOUSE opens to the public next month. This year’s Show House, 23 Lenox Place in the Central West End, is filled with details of Old World craftsmanship and touches of Gilded Age elegance. Built in 1904, the historically significant home most recently belonged to the late MRS. RACHEL FITCH, who was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, DR. COY FITCH. Many of St. Louis’ top designers are once again participating, lending their time and talent to showcase their craft. A special Preview Party will be held Thursday, Oct. 3, from 6 to 9 p.m., with live music and house tours. The Ladue News Show House opens Saturday, Oct. 5, and runs through Sunday, Oct. 20. The home is closed to the public on Mondays. For tickets to the Preview Party ($75) or general admission ($20 in advance/$25 at the door), call Megan Langford at 2698809. Proceeds from the Show House benefit local charities.

A new work of art has been installed in Shaw Park’s Century Garden in honor of the CITY OF CLAYTON’s 100th anniversary. The 3,500-pound, 19-foot Molecular Bloom with Single Flower, by renowned sculptor JAMES SURLS, was created specifically to be a permanent addition to the city’s public art collection. It now occupies the space where the Venus Victorious sculpture was on display (the Renoir piece had been on loan from the Saint Louis Art Museum).

Heads up! If you plan to see the ‘Greatest Show on Earth’ next month at Scottrade Center, keep your eye out for the human cannonball: 20-year-old St. Louisan ELLIANA GRACE, currently the youngest female cannonball in the world, will perform in Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents Built to Amaze! Elliana, the daughter of Circus Harmony founder JESSICA HENTOFF, made her circus debut at just 2 weeks old, when she starred as ‘The Baby’ in a 1992 Circus Flora production. Prior to joining Ringling Bros., Elliana trained for a semester at Ecole de Cirque de Quebec in Canada before returning to the U.S. to coach and teach a variety of classes at Circus Harmony. Ringling Bros. will be in town Oct. 17 to 20 for eight performances.

He’ll be joined by BEN POREMBA of Elaia + Olio, PATRICK CONNOLLY of Basso, RICHARD NIX of Piccione Pastry, and IVY MAGRUDER of Vin de Set, among others, in creating dishes from local gardens and farms. The Sunday, Sept. 8 event will be held at Palladium Saint Louis. For tickets, visit gatewaygreening.org.

SOCIE T Y Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Let Your Light Shine BY LISA WATSON

N THE DAY OF THE LEUKEMIA & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light the Night walk last year, the Giunta family was having a particularly difficult time. Luke, who had recently turned 10, was less than two months into treatment for lymphoma. It was a treatment day at the hospital, so he was feeling sick from the chemotherapy and didn’t feel up to the walk. “We had people coming in from all over the Midwest, so I told him, Just go and say hello, and I’ll take you home whenever you want to go,” says mom Becky Giunta. “But adrenaline is a marvelous thing! They had a break at the first mile, but he was saying, Let’s keep going! What it did that day was amazing—the transformation was pretty cool.” Since then, the family has grown its relationship with LLS, attending a conference on blood cancers about new research and also receiving financial assistance, Giunta says. This year, Luke is starting

at a new middle school, so the nonprofit will lead a class at his school to help his classmates understand the disease, she adds. Giunta also credits LLS for its advocacy in supporting parity for oral chemotherapy drugs. Oral chemotherapy was the recommendation made by Luke’s doctors as a primary part of his treatment plan, because it specifically targets cancer cells, has fewer side-effects and allows him to be treated from home, greatly decreasing the number of days he spends in the hospital. “The family and patient just want their lives to go back to ‘normal’ after a cancer diagnosis and targeted oral therapies make that happen,” says Debbie Kersting, executive director of the Gateway Chapter of LLS.

Nonprofit Spotlight CHARACTER PLUS By Julia Christensen

throughout everything. When they’re teaching a history lesson, they’ll talk about the character of the people they’re studying.” Recently, 29 schools across the country were named National Schools of Character. Of those, Kline says nine are Missouri CHARACTERplus institutions. “We are known nationally as a leader in character education.” Kline explains that the positive effects of character building can be seen every day in schools. She recalls an instance when a student caught two teachers gossiping in the hallway about another employee. “The student went up to those teachers and said, At our school, we respect each other and don’t gossip,” Kline says.

ON THE BOARD: RANDY MCDONNELL Randy McDonnell’s father started the organization in 1988 and remained involved until his death in 2012. “My father had emphasized character development at McDonnell Douglas, and I realized how important it was—even back then, my father understood the strength of any nation is proportionate to the character of its people,” he says. McDonnell, the president and owner of Advanced Aerospace Technologies, serves as executive advisory board chairman for CHARACTERplus. He relates character education to the foundation of a home, explaining that few would buy a house without a foundation, yet students often don’t look for character education at their institutions. Through this program, McDonnell notes traits such as perseverance and completing tasks 18

correctly the first time as key lessons taught through CHARACTERplus programs. “We all make decisions on a daily basis that affect others,” he says. “When people make decisions that maximize the benefits to all those affected, we are lifting each other up instead of pulling each other down. Through better character, we can have better schools, government and industry.” McDonnell attended Princeton University, followed by Washington University, after graduating from St. Louis Country Day School. In addition to CHARACTERplus, McDonnell serves on the boards of Character.org, the Greater St. Louis Area Council of Boy Scouts, Fair Saint Louis and the Downtown St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. He is also a proud blood donor for the American Red Cross.

MISSION: A high level of knowledge does not guarantee a high quality of character, so area nonprofit CHARACTERplus works to combine the two into an enhanced education experience. By providing schools with the tools to grow personal character throughout the school, CHARACTERplus helps educators integrate a character education curriculum focused on traits each school finds the most important. HISTORY: CHARACTERplus, founded in 1988, was originally titled the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP). Sanford (Sandy) McDonnell spearheaded the efforts, initially through seven area school districts. In 1992 and 1997, PREP received U.S. Department of Education grants to help promote character development in the classroom, and has received continuous state funding since 2001. Presently, CHARACTERplus, which was renamed from PREP in 2000, can be found in some 645 schools across Missouri, and in parts of Illinois and Kansas. COMMUNITY IMPACT: “CHARACTERplus helps students succeed by encouraging educators to teach character—and to teach it throughout every class to every student and in every aspect of the school,” explains executive director Diane Kline of the organization, which currently impacts more than 330,000 students. “These educators instill and integrate character

Set a Positive Tone for the School Year

By Russell Hyken

ust a few short weeks ago, students were filled with anticipation about the start of school. Some were excited to see their friends and share summer stories, and others were dreading their loss of freedom and prematurely missing those lazy August mornings. Now, however, vacation memories have faded and school structure is everyone’s reality. Summer is firmly in the rearview mirror, and it is time to look forward. Many consider New Year’s Day as the opportune time to create resolutions, but I propose that the new school year is an even better time to make positive changes. And it all starts with setting proper goals. Ask your children what they might want to improve. Goals should be about personal fulfillment rather than a parental obligation: Internal desire builds intrinsic motivation, a key quality for any successful student. Continued on page 26

Continued from page 24 Creating a proper goal, however, can be difficult, as many tend to overreach or construct vague objectives. Parents should assist their student by discussing how realistic and measureable their plan is. For example, if your child says he is going to make all As, that might be unreasonable if he doesn’t typically earn As. Instead, redirect your student to focus on an attainable strategy, such as conferencing compositions with his English teacher to become a better writer. Another way to ensure that your child experiences success is to assist him with balancing academics, extra-curriculars and free time. Many kids want to do it all, which creates stress as one struggles with meeting classroom demands and after-school requirements. Others prefer to be disengaged, often resulting in an unmotivated and lethargic student. Parents should establish realistic grade expectations and encourage their child to participate in at least one activity. Upfront conversations about how to manage homework, school activities and free time will set the tone for

a realistic schedule and a positive school year. Students also often struggle to understand the school day starts when the alarm clock rings, and ends when their head hits the pillow. Efficient mornings that allow time for a healthy breakfast and on-time school arrival creates a ready-tolearn brain, and conscious thoughts about afterschool studying allow students to maximize their potential. Some prefer to complete homework before relaxing, while others want an after-school break. Commit to the process that works best and build evenings around that schedule. Consistency will ensure responsibilities are successfully met. To further support students, parents should also renew their school commitment. If you don’t already, volunteer for a couple of events and attend all teacher conferences. These connections will provide valuable insight into how your child’s classroom operates and facilitate a trusting home/ school relationship. Teachers are quick to call involved parents not only about minor issues, but also about personal triumphs. Lastly, use this transitional time to revisit family routines. Start the year off with a commitment to

have a couple of family dinners every week. Also pledge to spend quality alone time with each child on a weekly basis. A short stop at Starbucks on the way to school can be a powerful relationshipbuilding time that your kids will value (even if they don’t tell you). When life gets hectic, individuals tend to get caught up in their own worlds. It is a parent’s job to provide structure so a child can experience both academic and personal success. Families that set a positive tone in September also are building a strong foundation for responsible decision-making. Good grades always are a goal but developing quality character and a positive attitude will bring even greater rewards. Make this fall a new beginning and create long-lasting resolutions.

Outdoors, woods provide privacy surrounding an open backyard with a tennis court and plenty of room for a pool, if desired, Ryan adds. The home sits amid the 100 percent residential Huntleigh neighborhood, where Ryan also calls home and serves as an alderman. “The 3.44-acre site on this house is not unusual,” he explains. “The neighborhood has up to 20-to-30-acre properties, so you feel like you’re in the middle of the country, and yet you’re three minutes from Plaza Frontenac.” Native St. Louisans John and Anne Ryan have combined their decades of experience to carry on The Ryan Tradition, which has provided exceptional real estate service in the city’s central corridor since 1965. “We have a long history of being involved with these properties,” John Ryan says. “We have worked with many relocating executives, as well as local families.”

Grant’s Cabin today; Opposite page: The Grants’ White Haven home is now a National Historic Site.

CABIN PHOTO BY SARAH CROWDER

IVING IN ST. LOUIS, IT IS EASY TO become blasé about many of the significant historical events that are part of our extremely rich heritage. While the world today has been made smaller— and in many ways, less remarkable—due to technology, hearken back to a time when citizens had to really earn and work to be considered remarkable or big. Well, St. Louis in the 19th century was both remarkable and big! It was the main port for the movement of anything up and down the mighty Mississippi, from hardware to fur pelts and everything else related to creating a first-class civilization in our still very young country. One example of our area’s impact on our nation’s history happened on a family plantation on Gravois Creek, where a young girl won the heart of a soldier who would later become the 18th president of the United States. Julia Dent (1826-1902) grew up on her family’s plantation, White Haven. One day, her brother

SEPTEMBER 6, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

invited a former West Point roommate to White Haven. The young soldier—then stationed at nearby Jefferson Barracks—paid a visit to the plantation and became smitten with his friend’s sister. Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) married Miss Dent in 1848, after a five-year engagement. The young couple spent many years lovingly farming the family plantation, not just the 80 acres they were given as a wedding present, but also the remaining acreage still belonging to the elder Mr. Dent. Three of the Grants’ four children were born at White Haven. During their marriage, they traveled and lived in other places such as Galena, Ill., and of course, the White House. But White Haven always was considered home by the Grants. The family sold the farm shortly before President Grant’s death. In 1990, the National Park Service took over ownership and operations of White Haven. This involved a lengthy restoration and a grand

plan to make the property a National Historic Site. To make room for visitors and parking, one of the many improvements required moving a very large barn—not just any barn, but the one that President Grant had actually designed and built himself. The property, known as ‘Hardscrabble,’ now stands on Grant’s Farm, owned by Anheuser-Busch. In 2007, the Ulysses S Grant National Historic Site became a reality. The first-class, 21st-century interactive visitors’ center features touch-screens, a full research library, a collections library and a children’s dress-up area, all working together to bring the experience of plantation life during the 1800s come alive. This modern technology has spread to the interior of the original home, as well, with picture frames that show a revolving ‘family album’ of life with the Grant family.

The FounTains oF WesT CounTy

The Best Senior Living in St. Louis! Closer to Family… i was living in Pennsylvania and i wanted to get closer to my niece and her family in st. Louis. i was living all alone and it was very lonely. My niece told me all about the Fountains, with all the great activities available, best of all they have bridge groups. i have made so many good friends in this past nine years, i can’t think of any other place i want to be. This is my home and i love it.

Connie Leone

A note from The Executive Director: Linda Iken-Robertson The Fountains is celebrating nine wonderful years this september. i would like to consider myself a founder also, since opening the Fountains in 2004, it has been a wonderful nine years of serving our seniors. My staff and i are committed to helping each individual, who chooses to retire with us at The Fountains, to enjoy life to the fullest. We are dedicated to encouraging a healthy independent lifestyle for mature adults. We take that responsibility to heart and it is our purpose. When you choose to live at The Fountains of West County, you not only become a part of one of the best west county neighborhoods, you become family.

I’m living again… Living alone had been just that…lonely. sure i have friends, even that wasn’t the answer. i wanted to socialize, have a life again and feel like i was doing something. Well, i found the answer and moved to the Fountains retirement community whose residents are full of life and being lonely here is not an option. now i have a new home and new friends that share my same interest, and i’m living again. Alice Schultz Feeling safe and secure is only the beginning… i always believed it could never happen to me. Well, if you’ve watched the news lately, it can. so i took charge of my own life and found my new secured home at the Fountains of West County. My daughter is so glad i moved to the Fountains, because retirement isn’t supposed to be stressful…and feeling safe and secure is important to me.

Gail Mars

The residents and the staff have become part of my family… nine years ago, i sold my home, had some health issues and was living with my daughter at the time. as i began to regain my strength, i realized i needed my own home. and home is immediately what i found when i walked into the Fountains. The Fountains has been my home for nine years and i am truly blessed to live here and to call the Fountains of West County my home.

Texie Morris I have my independence back again… i am a social person and i was missing that aspect in my life. Moving to the Fountains gave me that social interaction again and i have made some great friends. From the wonderful staff to the wide variety of fun activities, i always have something to do.

Hazel Partney I love the residents here…

The Choice is mine…

The staff at the Fountains are so very friendly and caring, as they are always willing to provide the supportive and personal care when needed. The Fountain’s ability to handle and resolve emergencies is second to none. Living here in this safe environment allows me to live as independently as possible.

Through a friend in 2004, i heard of the Fountains. The move to the Fountains, for me gave me peace of mind and the freedom to do as much as i want or as little as i wish. now i have lots of friends and there’s always something to do. i feel very secure, while being surrounded by a staff that really cares and the assistance is always there when needed.

ST. LOUIS TENDS TO BE A PRETTY CONSERVATIVE TOWN, SO I WAS surprised to see how many boutiques are embracing the rocker-chic look that was so big on the fall runways. Of course, one should never go all-out on any trend, so try a leather jacket (the piece of the season), some stud details or mix in some plaid for a little British-Invasion feel to give your everyday favorites an edge.

LINGERIE SHOPPING CAN BE A daunting task for most women. Especially considering there haven’t been many local lingerie-focused boutiques in our city...until now. Clair de Lune is filling that retail gap and has opened its first St. Louis store in the Granaway shops in Ladue. The boutique, whose name means ‘moonlight’ in French, offers upscale European-style lingerie and bras in an intimate boudoir setting. The concept originated in 2004 in Overland Park, Kan., and has been extremely successful. What makes Clair de Lune exceptional is the scope of merchandise and services offered: It specializes in bras and bra fittings, and offers an extensive selection of sizes, as well as caters to special needs like maternity and post-surgical requirements. As owner Terry Levine puts it, “At Clair de Lune, you feel special, and your needs are met—no matter what your situation.”

Spirit Girls’ Night Out “Diamonds & Denim”

Skin Deep by LISA WATSON

Q&A

Sparkle from the inside out with a night of pampering, good health and friends!

with Amy Koehler of Dior

Thursday, October 24 • 6 to 9 p.m.

T h e days m i g h t not b e getting cooler just yet, but fall is on its way. And as you dig your comfy sweaters and killer boots out of the back of your closet, don’t forget that your makeup routine might need a little tweaking, too. We asked Amy Koheler, director for Dior’s St. Louis region with Dillards, about her fall makeup outlook.

St. Louis Marriott West 660 Maryville Centre Drive St. Louis, MO 63141

Pamper and treat yourself with massages, minimakeovers, health screenings, dessert with the doctors, girlfriend photos, shopping boutique and more.

What trends are you expecting for fall? Metallics are huge—they’re going to be everywhere, from eye colors to fabrics. Also, we’re seeing a lot of red lips on the runways. Especially when they’re paired with soft, smoky gray-colored eyes. Don’t go too dark with the eyes, or you’ll look like you’re trying too hard.

Early Bird Rate: $25 ($30 after Oct. 10)

A lot of people think they can’t wear red, but there’s a red out there for everybody. If you find one you like, but you still think it’s too bold, mix it with some lip balm to make it a less intense color. People also think they can’t wear metallics because they crease, which sometimes enhances lines. A tip for doing a metallic eye shadow is to just concentrate it in the middle of the eye, over the iris. It will give you a little twinkle without being too much. But wherever you use it, the key is not to wear all metallic—choose one piece.

You do a lot of makeup for commercial projects. How is that different from what you would do for a typical client? The lighting is going to be completely different in film and on photo shoots. So the makeup looks more dramatic in-person than on-camera—it can look unnatural in-person. Whatever you do on camera, it would be toned down for a regular day. That type of work is so fun to do. You get to do things you would never get to do otherwise—like prosthetics, or feathered eyebrows. What’s the most common question you get from clients? A lot of people are looking for help finding the right brow color. We have a brow pencil that actually transforms itself for everyone differently. People don’t want it to look drawn on, and the waxy ones can look too fake, while the powders don’t always provide enough definition. This pencil is a powder technology, so it’s the best of both worlds.

Everyone has days where they can’t make their makeup look right, no matter how hard they try. What recommendations do you have for that? That happens more often in the winter than the summer, because we tend to lose color. A bronzer can be a great fix, and blush is, too. Use a brighter pink or peachy blush, and concentrate it on your cheeks; but give it a light, quick once-over on your whole face to give your complexion a boost. Another trick is to use a dark-black eyeliner really close to the lash line. It lightens the whites of your eyes to make you look more awake. 2-1019

A lot of people are also interested to find out about airbrushed makeup. For most people, I don’t think it’s really worth it to buy it and teach yourself how to use it. You also have to clean it whenever you switch products—going from foundation to blush or eye color. Dior has a foundation called Air Flash, which provides the same effect, and it works for pretty much everyone.

The Face Company

Best Face Forward By Brittany Nay

o two bodies are alike. That’s why The Face Company offers services to satisfy your specific skin. Located in the University Club Tower across from Saint Louis Galleria, The Face Company is a medical spa that works to create a relaxing and rejuvenating experience through treatments for common face and body issues that arise as we age. Whether you are tired of shaving, overcoming weight-loss surgery or dealing with the signs of aging, the clinic has an answer. From facial treatments to laser hair removal and skin tightening for the face and body, guests can be refreshed from head to toe. Clients can indulge in the company’s exclusive skin care line that moisturizes, balances, brightens and renews signs of aging. Aestheticians provide a complimentary skin analysis to determine what treatment will best suit your skin. “Our aestheticians will customize a facial treatment for your individual needs,” says Kim Palmier, founder and executive director. Among specialized facials, The Face Company

offers a hydrating facial with cleansing, toning and exfoliation, followed by a paraffin mask. To fight oily skin, a skin-balancing facial can clarify combination skin through cleansing, toning, exfoliating and a balancing clay mask with extractions. For that natural glow, the spa offers a vitamin C mask with antioxidants. And to renew the signs of aging, a specialized facial treatment with retinol, peptide and alpha products rejuvenate the skin. Beyond the face, the clinical spa has specialized in body treatments, including laser hair removal, skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, fat reduction and cellulite reduction for more than 20 years. Through Palomar Icon, a light-based laser hair removal system, clients can start now to be bikini-ready for spring. Typical treatments on the legs and back take 30 minutes, while the underarms and bikini line require less time, Palmier says. “The procedures are non-invasive and require no downtime.” After multiple treatments every six weeks, most clients with dark or light hair can experience long-lasting results, she adds.

An aesthetician at The Face Company uses Palomar Icon, a light-based laser hair removal system.

The Face Company also uses cutting-edge technology for contouring and tightening skin on the face and body. Viora Reaction, a non-invasive system involving deep-tissue heating, mechanical stretch and mechanical massage, treats cellulite, reduces lax skin following childbirth or weight-loss surgery, and tightens skin to minimize the appearance of aging.

Scars in aesthetically sensitive areas, such as the face, neck and eyes, may become more noticeable following sun exposure; and although the tissues may appear to be recovered a few weeks after treatment, the impact of sun exposure on healing tissues may continue up to a year. Surgical procedures, such as facelifts, mini facelifts or blepharoplasty, result in minimal wounds, while facial resurfacing via laser or chemical peel results in a larger skin surface area to heal. Although sun

exposure can be avoided by covering incisions with clothing, jewelry or sunglasses, often times, sun protection can only effectively be achieved by staying indoors—a restriction more easily adhered to in fall or winter. Carefully planning any facial aesthetic care will help achieve the best outcome, shorten downtime and maximize time spent enjoying life. Formulate a time line that accounts for each stage of the process: the initial consultation with a facial plastic surgeon (days to weeks), time to schedule treatment (days to months), and the post-treatment recovery (days to months). For BotoxTM and injectable fillers, one to two weeks of planned recovery time is sufficient. For facial rejuvenation procedures, two to six months is a conservative recovery time estimate. A facial plastic surgeon can help develop a facial aesthetic care plan that best meets your needs.

Facial rejuvenation can be performed at any time of the year, but the summer months present certain issues worth considering. Sun exposure is associated with pigmentary (color) changes in scars, and ultraviolet radiation from the sun affects the skin at the wound differently than surrounding skin. This differential effect can lead to both shortterm and long-term implications for wound healing: alterations in a scar’s color, size and consistency.

Anti Aging The Role of Sugar & Starch

Weight Watch By Connie Mitchell

• Wrinkles • Pigment • Acne

he great villains of the obesity epidemic in America are sugar and starch. Or are they? Area experts say it may not be fair to characterize sugar and simple carbohydrates as the cause of our society’s weight woes. “I think (sugar and starch) are part of the problem, but they are by no means the only culprit,” says Jamie Joyner-Cassell, a registered dietitian at St. Luke’s Hospital. “Another part of the problem is the high amount of unhealthy fats that you find in many processed foods. Americans tend to rely heavily on pre-packaged and processed foods that are high in both sugar and fat. In addition to that, lifestyles are much more sedentary than they used to be. Think about a typical day: sit in car, sit at desk, sit in car, sit on couch. Decreased calorie expenditure, combined with increased calorie intake, equals weight gain.” So weight control once again relies on the old adage: eat less, move more. Yet for some people, avoiding sugar and starchy foods, such as pasta, pastries and breads made with white flour, in order to reduce overall calorie consumption isn’t as easy as just saying no to the occasional cookie. Finding dietary balance can seem like putting together pieces of a somewhat tricky puzzle, and sugary, starchy foods can be difficult to limit. “I think keeping the temptations to a minimum is key,” JoynerCassell says. “Complete avoidance of sugary foods altogether is not always an option, but keeping them out of your everyday environment will certainly help to reduce the temptations. If you keep the sweets out of the house and stock your fridge and pantry with healthier options, you’ll eat those instead.” Those healthier options include whole grains instead of refined grains, naturally sweet fruits, and fresh, whole foods. “For example, choosing grilled chicken on a bed of lettuce versus fried chicken, or choosing chocolate graham crackers versus chocolate chip cookies,” says Becky Doss, an outpatient dietitian with Mercy St. Louis. “Small changes such as these make big differences in one’s diet in a positive way.” In fact, avoiding carbohydrates altogether is a bad idea—the key is in choosing the right ones, experts agree. “Skimping on carbohydrates can cause one to feel very fatigued with no energy,” says Deanna Miller, a registered dietitian and clinical nutrition manager at Missouri

Fruits & Vegetables and Life Expectancy

Five A Day

By Connie Mitchell

r e c e n t s t u dy i n t h e American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that people who eat the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables per day live longer than those who don’t. Dr. John Morley, a SLUCare geriatrician, says the study only adds to the increasing amount of data supporting the value of fresh, whole foods as the basis of a healthy diet. Morley points to previous research that indicates a diet rich in fruits and vegetables along with “not smoking, exercising, drinking a small amount of alcohol (one glass for women and two glasses for men) is a combination that shows a marked improvement in physiological function, as well as decreasing death.” He poses the next obvious question to himself: So why are fruits and vegetables good for you? “Obviously, part of it is that you get all the vitamins and minerals that are buried, with few exceptions, in fruits and vegetables, particularly antioxidants,” Morley says. “There’s increasing evidence that if you take vitamins, they either do absolutely nothing for you or they’re actually not good for you, depending on the studies you want to look at.” If vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables are so beneficial, why wouldn’t a supplement do the same amount of good? Morley responds, “I think when God put things together, she had insight to say, Gee-whiz, there’s a way that these are supposed to come in the right combination and the right format. The men who make vitamins are not nearly as good as God. At least, that’s the way I look at it.” Jennifer Moffett, a clinical dietitian at SSM DePaul Health Center, agrees that eating your ‘five-a-day’ should be a dietary goal. “Whole plant foods contain healthy dietary antioxidants, and these plant compounds have antiinflammatory properties which help to boost immune function to fight disease, may assist in memory function and possibly protect against some cancers,” she says. “Increasing fruit and vegetable intake is a defense against disease and possible early death.” Further, both Morley and Moffett prefer consuming whole fruits and vegetables to juicing, primarily because whole foods retain more 78

nutrients and fiber than their juice, are less calorie-dense, and take longer to consume, which promotes satiety. However you choose produce and incorporate it into your diet, Morley stresses the importance of variety. “The secret is balance,” he says. “There’s no evidence saying there’s a huge difference between one (type of produce) over another, but there’s a lot of evidence for balance between all the fruits and vegetables.”

All fruits and vegetables have nutritious components, but Moffett offers recommendations for some of the best choices across the color spectrum: • reds/oranges: carrots, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe • greens: broccoli, spinach, brussels sprouts • yellow: peppers, spaghetti squash, peaches • blues/purple: eggplant, beets, grapes • whites/browns: cauliflower, mushrooms Additional advice includes: • Incorporate more fruits and vegetables in the diet by combining them, as in adding pineapple to a tomato salsa • Double up on vegetables at a meal in place of having extra starches • Substitute vegetables in place of extra meat portions, such as in a pasta sauce or meatloaf • Add vegetables to a one-dish meal or Crockpot

Good Sleep Equals Good Health

Don’t Skimp on Sleep W

hen it comes to good health, we’re reminded over and over again to eat right, exercise and don’t smoke. But an increasing amount of scientific evidence indicates that adequate sleep should be added to that list in order to help ensure optimal health. There are myriad benefits of regular, uninterrupted sleep, says Dr. Shiraz Daud, a specialist in pulmonary critical care and sleep medicine with BJC Medical Group and at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “Sleep has restorative functions for the body that span numerous organ systems, including the cardiovascular and immune systems,” he says. “During normal sleep, blood pressure typically falls, as this is the time for the heart and the rest of the cardiovascular system to ‘rest.’ If someone isn’t getting enough sleep, the heart is working harder and longer, with consequences such as hypertension and heart rhythm problems.” People who are chronically sleep deprived often need more energy during the day to function, and they seek it out in the form of sugary foods that provide a quick blood sugar spike, contributing to weight gain and obesity, Daud adds. In addition, sleep deprivation dramatically increases the risk

By Connie Mitchell

of accidents due to drowsy driving and decreases overall quality of life, curtailing one’s ability to engage in enjoyable, active pursuits. Dr. Kevin Postol, a St. Louis dentist who works with patients and their physicians to treat sleep apnea with removable oral appliances, adds to the list of sleep-deprivation woes: “We can start with the fact that kids who don’t sleep well are more tired during the day, and thus we see more behavioral problems at home and school,” he says. “These same children are often diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and put on meds they don’t need. And in adults, there are multiple studies showing the significance of sleep apnea with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes.” Postol notes that sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder in which interrupted breathing disrupts the normal sleep cycle, may be related to dental issues such as a high palate or narrow arch. In such cases, an oral appliance may help treat the apnea. However, sleep disorders are not the cause of sleep deprivation for many people. “One of the most

common reasons is simply insufficient sleep time,” Daud says. “With busy work and family schedules, sleep is often viewed as a luxury, and people ‘shortchange’ their sleep time.” That strategy can end up short-changing their health, too. Consider that young children typically require 10 to 14 hours of sleep per night, and older schoolaged children still need 10 to 11 hours of sleep. Adults should aim for eight hours of sleep per night; although individual differences mean that some people can function on slightly less, while others need more in order to feel truly rested. “There are simply too many potential health consequences from chronic sleep deprivation to allow social and family demands to affect the amount of sleep we get,” Daud says. As you strive to live a healthy lifestyle, don’t forget to rest your body and mind, and see your primary-care physician to discuss potential sleep disorders if you feel chronically fatigued.

Just Do It!

hen you ‘reach a certain age,’ health recommendations begin to change. Certain screenings and immunizations become more important. But one thing that doesn’t change as we age is the recommended amount of exercise. “There really is no difference from one gender or age group to another. Everyone should get at least 30 minutes per day of cardiovascular exercise, five days a week, to help ward off disease and keep your heart healthy,” says local weight-loss coach Charles D’Angelo. His statement is echoed by a number of other local experts, all agreeing that age doesn’t mean we should move any less. “Ideally, every generation would do something active every day,” says Dale Huff, owner of Nutriformance. He notes that the intensity and duration of exercise can, and should, vary, but making exercise a priority is the key.

While national organizations, such as the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Health Association, recommend the daily 30-minute workout across age groups, modifications are needed to account for mobility and fitness level, says Dr. Shane Stephenson, a Mercy St. Louis family physician. “The first priority when thinking about fitness is to set goals,” he says. “From those goals, it’s easier to individually tailor an exercise program. As you might imagine, a variety of exercises to improve physical fitness is recommended for all adults, including cardiovascular, neuromuscular, flexibility, endurance, balance and agility training.” If you haven’t exercised regularly for a while and are not physically fit, talk to your primary-care physician to ensure the safety of your fitness plan. Once you are cleared to exercise, a few basic moves for beginners include wall push-ups, abdominal squeezes (sit up straight or stand and flex your stomach) and chair squats, recommends Josiah Jones, an exercise physiologist with St. Luke’s Hospital Therapy Services. Although slight discomfort while exercising is common, real pain is not, he adds. Huff and other fitness experts consider age and ability when creating an individual exercise program, and he notes that various age groups tend to have certain challenges. For example, “Twenty-somethings are struggling to get into a consistent routine for a few reasons,” he says. “First, they may be coming out of a very structured exercise program as an athlete or student, and now are floundering to get a solid schedule. Also, their lives are ever-changing with college, grad school, a first job, etc., that makes it difficult to maintain a solid fitness program.”

Neuromuscular training is recommended for adults 60 and older.... These exercises include tai chi, yoga and pilates because they can develop balance and help prevent falls. Notably, there is evidence that vitamin D supplementation also helps prevent falls. DR. SHANE STEPHENSON MERCY ST. LOUIS

Middle-aged adults tend to be busy with work, social and family responsibilities, which can make a regular exercise routine difficult. “We try and get this group focused on safe metabolic workouts that address cardiovascular conditioning, strength and power,” Huff says. “We supplement these workouts with exercise that our clients love—bike rides with family, long walks, yoga, etc. Incorporating family activities to instill healthy values for your children is key during this time.” When the kids go off to college, Huff encourages active, middleaged adults to use their new freedom to try new activities, such as tennis or golf, while maintaining strength through resistancetraining. Older adults may need to consider adding posture, flexibility and balance exercises to their established routines. “Neuromuscular training is recommended for adults 60 and older, but is encouraged for all,” Stephenson says. “These exercises include tai chi, yoga and pilates because they can develop balance and help prevent falls. Notably, there is evidence that vitamin D supplementation also helps prevent falls.” The bottom line is to just do something. “The reality is that any exercise is fine at any age, as long as you do it consistently making it a lifestyle habit,” D’Angelo says. “We forget how much we can do to add years to our lives through simple changes in choice.”

unreliable, secondhand gossip from around the world* MILEY CYRUS

The 20-year-old former Disney star had tongues wagging with her tongue-wagging, performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Hannah Montana was nowhere to be found, as Cyrus ‘twerked’ and simulated sex with a stunned Robin Thicke. I honestly don’t know what all the fuss is about. If she wants to squeeze in a drunk-driving accident, a two-month marriage, a prescription painkiller addiction, a sex tape and a reality show by the time she’s 23, she needs to work on schedule. These downward spirals don’t just happen by themselves.

KYLIE JENNER The youngest Kardashian tweeted a picture last week of her 16th birthday present, a $125,000 Mercedes SUV. The adorably spoiled reality star then posted a pic of her new ride in a long line of luxury cars in her family driveway with the caption: runs in the family. So you see, her parents may be breaking up, Khloe’s husband may be a drugaddicted philanderer, Kim’s rapper/baby daddy may be nowhere to be found, but everything is pristine on the surface—where it matters.

KATE GOSSELIN The former star of Kate Plus 8 is suing her ex-husband, Jon, for millions of dollars alleging that he hacked her computer to gather confidential information for a tell-all book. Jon claims the suit is baseless and is merely a desperate attempt to soak him. I guess she was so busy with all those kids, she missed the whole blood-out-of-a-stone adage.

ALEC BALDWIN Well, it would appear fatherhood has done nothing to mellow the 30 Rock star. Last week, Baldwin attacked a paparazzo.

Is Alec Baldwin just a man trying to take a walk with his wife, or is the photographer just a guy trying to make a living? Eh, either way. I’ve got no dog in this race.

A Gluten for Punishment

O, LAST WEEK THE Ladue News staff was sitting around the conference room for a typical weekly meeting—you know, sipping Champagne and waiting for the mini-quiche to come out of the oven—when someone offered up a story idea: Why don’t we do a diet-and-nutrition series and extol the virtues of different diets? We could have doctors give their opinions. We could even have staffers try them out. Someone could do Weight Watchers, someone could do low-carb, Debbie could go gluten-free… I set down my soy-protein smoothie—and by soy-protein smoothie, I mean tall mochachino with whip—and protested. My list of grievances was seemingly endless: Diets are too much work...I can’t feed my family, then make an entire separate meal for myself...My diet is fine, I just need to exercise more. But more than any of those, more than any other dietary or disciplinary excuse, there was something else. In fact, it may be the reason most of us don’t stick to the diet or don’t even try it in the first place: What the heck is gluten? Furthermore, I may not know what it is, but I’m pretty sure I like it. It sounds gooey and fattening. It could be the stuff that makes syrup sticky or what thickens Béarnaise. Either way, I had a feeling I was going to miss it. So I did a little research. Turns out there is a lot of misinformation out there. For example: Gluten was not a 15th-century Ottoman emperor who invented soft pretzels. Gluten is not an illegal pass in quidditch. And gluten is not the rumored celebrity couple nickname for Gladys Knight and Vladimir Putin. Gluten is a protein found in wheat rye and

barley. It gives bread its chewiness, but other than that, it has no color, flavor, fat or calories. So why cut it out? That is more difficult to answer. Just less than 1 percent of the population has a condition known as celiac disease, a symptom of which is a gluten intolerance. Researchers now are also studying what is being called a gluten sensitivity. Some doctors estimate that as much as 10 percent of the population, while testing negative for celiac disease are, nonetheless, adversely affected by gluten. Sufferers may feel bloated, fatigued, lethargic…wait, are we sure that’s gluten? As far as the rest of us go, there seems to be only one reason to eliminate gluten from your diet. It’s trendy. Other than the placebo effect, cutting out gluten won’t clear up your skin or help you sleep, or ease stiff joints or suppress seasonal allergies. And other than the corollary benefit of eliminating bread and other grain-based items from your diet, it won’t assist in weight loss. So if you’re considering eliminating gluten from your diet you may want to do a little research—it may not be the magic bullet for which you were hoping. A physician friend of mine once told me that the only way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories than you burn. I don’t know, though, that seems silly.

THEATER ROUNDUP

FALL THEATER PREVIEW

Let the Shows Begin! BY MARK BRETZ

W PHOTO COURTESY OF JOHN LAMB

AY BACK IN THE DAYS when I was a lad, Labor Day marked the beginning of the school year. Now, of course, school districts and universities get their fall semesters underway a couple

of weeks earlier. Similarly, Labor Day to me psychologically is the unofficial start of a new theater season, so let’s use that as a benchmark to take a look at what’s coming up on local stages between now and New Year’s Day. • The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis kicks off its 2013-14 season with a presentation of the Kander & Ebb classic, Cabaret, one of the most daring and successful musicals of the late 20th century. Marcia Dodge will direct this sophisticated descent into Nazi Germany from Sept. 11 through Oct. 6. Next on The Rep’s Mainstage will be Fly, from Oct. 16 through Nov. 10. Based on the experiences of the Tuskegee Airmen, it delineates the lives of four courageous black pilots training to fly combat aircraft during World War II. Then, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap provides holiday entertainment Dec. 4 to 29. • The refurbished Fox Theatre, showing off

a gleaming, newly remodeled ceiling in the 1929 structure, opens its season on Sept. 20 with a weekend of another long-running Kander & Ebb standard, Chicago. The season continues with a new production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice collaboration, Evita, Oct. 8 to 20, followed by a pair of musicals based on movies, Sister Act, Nov. 19 to Dec. 1; and Elf, running Dec. 17 to 29. Beauty and the Beast has a three-day run Nov. 1 to 3, and A Christmas Carol takes the stage Dec. 5 to 8. • Peabody Opera House begins its five-show Broadway season on Nov. 15, when a revival of Stephen Schwartz’ Godspell opens a three-day run. • STAGES, which has sold out most of its performances this summer, closes its 2013 season Sept. 6 through Oct. 6 with a presentation of Lerner and Loewe’s masterpiece, My Fair Lady, which has been performed just once (1989) in STAGES’ history. Christopher Guilmet and Pamela Brumley will portray Professor Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, respectively. • The Black Rep, presently searching for a new home after the Grandel Theatre was sold, will present Daniel Beaty’s acclaimed one-man show, Emergency, Sept. 5 to 15, at the Hotchner Theatre at Washington University. Ron Conner will portray 40 characters in the tale about a slave ship sailing

into present-day New York City harbor. • HotCity Theatre stages a new production of Joe Orton’s first full-length play (from 1964) when it presents Entertaining Mr. Sloane Sept. 6 to 21. Then the troupe, which focuses on contemporary programming and new play development, will produce a comedy by William Missouri Downs titled Kosher Lutherans from Dec. 6 to 21, about a Jewish couple who masquerade as Christians when they learn that the mother of the baby they are adopting is from the backwoods Bible Belt. • Stray Dog Theatre reprises one of the biggest hits from its first decade when it begins its 201314 season with the return of Evil Dead the Musical. That’s followed up Dec. 5 to 21 with a “touching, funny and highly imaginative retelling of the Christmas story” titled The Butterfingers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod the Nut and the Slaughter of 12 Hit Carols in a Pear Tree, which may be shorter than its name. • New Line Theatre opens its 23rd season of “adventurous, alternative musical theatre” with the regional premiere of the musical thriller, Night of the Living Dead, from Oct. 10 through Nov. 2. Artistic director Scott Miller says it’s “based on the Continued on page 88 {LadueNews.com} SEPTEMBER 6, 2013

Good news: Vin Diesel and Channing Tatum have been locked up until next summer. Bad news: George Clooney and Michael Fassbender haven’t been let out yet. Good news: There are some outstanding films to watch at home. Bad news: There are some that are so appalling, you will wonder why no one warned you. Well, consider yourself warned...

GOOD NEWS The English Teacher Julianne Moore stars as a reclusive English teacher who is brought to life when a former student, a failed playwright, moves back to town in search of purpose. Pain & Gain Mud If you missed this in theaters, you are in for a treat. Matthew McConaughey is charming as the mysterious Mud, a man on the lam seeking the help of two mischievous boys to elude his pursuers and find his lady love. 42 T h i s e n ga g i n g Ja c k i e Robinson biopic flew under the radar last spring.

I know what you’re thinking: Personal trainers-turnedbank robbers in ‘90s Miami? Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson? All I can say in my defense is that it stars Mark Wahlberg and the man knows a funny script. From The Other Guys to Ted, Wahlberg rarely signs on to a project that isn’t worthwhile (if you don’t count the Funky Bunch).

That’s followed Dec. 5 to 22 by a one-woman show titled Hannah Senesh, taken from the actual diary of the Israeli heroine who parachuted behind Nazi lines to save Hungarian Jews. • Mustard Seed Theatre begins its season Sept. 5 to 15 when it presents The Purpose Project: Thao’s Library, the story of two unlikely friends, one of whom is a Vietnamese woman who was born with life-threatening birth defects from Agent Orange. Its second show, running Nov. 8 to 24, is titled All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914, an a cappella musical celebrating the power of peace. • St. Louis Actors’ Studio’s seventh season opens Sept. 20 to Oct. 6 with a production of Suzan-Lori Parks’ Top Dog Under Dog. The company’s second show, running Nov. 8 to 24, will be a production of Nicky Silver’s fractured tale, Pterodactyls. • R-S Theatrics, with its focus on works new to the region, presents Parade, a Tony Award-winning musical by Alfred Uhry and Jason Robert Brown, Sept. 6 to 15. From Dec. 6 to 15, the company will stage Oh Hell!–An Evening of Two One-Acts, including David Mamet’s Bobby Gould in Hell (a character from his Speed-the-Plow) and Shel Silverstein’s The Devil and Billy Markham. • Insight Theatre Company concludes its 2013 season Sept. 12 to 29 with a presentation of Thornton Wilder’s classic work, Our Town, at Heagney Theatre on the campus of Nerinx Hall High School. • Slightly Askew Theatre Ensemble calls its 2013-14 series the “Season of the Monster.” Stephen Mallatratt’s venerable ghost story, The Woman in Black, will be presented Oct. 30 through Nov. 9. • Dramatic License Productions presents The Best of Broadway Sept. 13 to 15 as part of its DLP Cabaret Series. That’s followed Oct. 31 through Nov. 17 with a production of Tuesdays with Morrie, and then A Holiday Musical Revue Dec. 13 to 15. • St. Louis Shakespeare offers a new production of The Comedy of Errors from Oct. 18 through 26. • OnSite Theatre’s final show of its 2013 season will be a new work titled The Trivia Job, written by Dan Rubin and directed by Anna Pileggi, opening in October and inspired by the perennially popular trivia nights. • West End Players Guild opens its 103rd season Sept. 27 with the St. Louis premiere of Lee Blessing’s Lonesome Hollow, a futuristic story about sex offenders consigned to privately-run gulags. In November, the troupe will present Harold Pinter’s dark comedy, The Hothouse, followed in December by a presentation of Medal of Honor Rag, a parryand-thrust debate between a Vietnam veteran and his psychiatrist. • New companies will be busy, as well: Tesseract Theatre begins its season with a production of Jean Anouilh’s Antigone Nov. 1 to 10. Theatre Lab will offer a 24-hour play festival in November, and Encore! Theater Group‘s season includes future production of David Mamet’s Oleanna, Toyer by Gardner McKay and a work titled Dear Linda, Signed, Me. So, if you’re looking for something to do most any weekend this fall, consider an evening of live theater. The performers, directors, designers and staffs all will thank you for your participation.

The Great Gatsby Not everyone is in agreement on the validity of this remake (re-remake?), but that’s all the more reason to see it. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are thought to be questionable casting choices in Baz Luhrmann’s big-screen vision of the Fitzgerald novel.

In a celebrity-obsessed world, Syd March works in an underground clinic that sells live viruses of movie stars to crazed fans, sometimes smuggling samples in his own body. When he becomes infected with a disease that killed a mega-star, he must solve the mystery of her death to save his own life. I haven’t seen it, but I’m going to. Continued on page 92

DINING OUT

spicybits BY MATT SORRELL

Great Harvest Bread Company, which recently moved from Olivette, and La Cosecha Coffee Roasters have teamed up to provide customers with top-notch coffee and bread at 7360 Manchester Road in Maplewood. “We’re sort of roommates,” jokes La Cosecha co-owner JAMIE JESCHKE, since the two businesses are sharing the space and each one is operating as a separate entity. The idea, according to Jeschke, is for each company to do what it does best and complement the other. In addition to its coffee bar operation, La Cosecha also is roasting its coffee on-site. Fans of Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium in Richmond Heights now have another location to frequent for gourmet sandwich creations. The popular restaurant recently opened space No. 2 at 11656 Manchester Road in Des Peres. Congrats to Giovanni’s On The Hill. The venerable Italian eatery is celebrating its 40th year in business. We recently got word that Seoul Taco’s newish brick-and-mortar location at 571 Melville Ave. in the U.

Tripel

Bistro, Belgian Style BY SIDNEY LEWIS

LAFAYETTE SQUARE HAS LONG HAD AN abundance of fine places to eat and imbibe; and lately, the scene there has been even more active, with recently opened eateries that are injecting new blood into the area. One of these new attractions opened earlier this summer: Tripel specializes in German and Belgian food and drink. We’d never tried out Belgian fare, and were eager to check out this new addition. The designers of Tripel took advantage of the industrial accoutrements of the space like the exposed ductwork and added details like vintageinspired light fixtures to give the space the look and feel of a classy but casual European bistro. While the bar is expansive and the dining room is more than roomy, the vibe here is almost cozy. The great beer list at Tripel featured a wide variety of European styles that are hard to find on beverage lists around town, and we took advantage of the bounty, indulging in a Bacchus Flemish Red ($8), a subtly sour beer with multiple berry notes; and a light, fruity Gulden Draak 9000 ($8). They proved to be the perfect companions to the bread service, which included bits of Belgian waffles—a really nice touch. The Tripel menu has plenty of mussels, as one would expect of a Belgian eatery, as well as a bevy of large and small plates. To start, we sampled the Escargots a la Moelle (escargot with marrow) ($11) from the Entrees section, along with the Tomates aux Crevettes (tomato with shrimp) ($10) from the Soupe et Salade list. Rich and decadent only begins to describe the escargot: tender bits of snail under

blocks of marrow and served on the bone with some crusty bread for company. Although technically a starter, this was heavy enough to be a main event. On the other side of the spectrum, the tomato dish was fairly light, though no less delicious. It consisted of a hollowed-out local heirloom tomato filled with shrimp and served with greens, egg and assorted other tomato variations alongside. It was the ideal summer salad, light and flavorful and showcasing some fine local produce. For our mains, we chose Stroofvles ($14) from the Plats Traditionnels section of the menu, and the Antelope Rumstek ($24) from the Viandes Grillees offerings. The stroofvles is a traditional Belgian stew with chunks of tender beef served over frites. Talk about simple and hearty! This dish would be perfect on a winter’s eve with a pint of stout. The antelope steak was a choice cut sourced from Broken Arrow Ranch in Texas. This steak was mild and tender and as far from gamey as it could be. Ours was cooked a beautiful mid-rare and was immensely juicy and flavorful, and served with a red wine sauce. Sorry, fans of crispy meats, we’re told the fat content in antelope is much lower than beef, making it hard to cook beyond medium without becoming too chewy. No problem here! Along with this superlative steak came some Brussel sprouts and a serving of stoemp, another Belgian favorite consisting of pureed potatoes with leeks and carrots. All in all, Tripel is a unique and tasty addition to a venerable neighborhood. 1801 Park Ave., 678-7787, tripelstl.com

GAME ON!

MAX SCHERZER How did Jim Leyland tell you that you were starting the All-Star game? I asked if he was going to start me or not. He said, I am going to tell you, but you can’t tell anybody else. Then he said he was going to start Chris Sale, but not to tell anybody. One of my teammates started laughing. He then told me I was starting, but told me to keep quiet. I only called my parents. What memorabilia did you take home? I got a jersey and a couple of bats that got signed. I thought that was pretty cool. Most of my memorabilia comes from when we face other teams, and I get guys to sign balls and jerseys. Do you ever glance at the radar gun when you pitch? It’s one thing to try and light up the radar gun and see how hard you are throwing. That’s when it becomes a distraction. There are times when you can really use it to your advantage. For me, I always like to see my off-speed pitches and their velocity. I know my fastball will be there—I don’t worry about that. I want to be throwing my curve ball in the 78- to 80-miles-per-hour range. That gives me enough time to break. I feel that’s when it’s most effective. Max Scherzer poses next to his bobblehead at Detroit’s Comerica Park

MAX-IMUM IMPACT

HE BEST PITCHER ON PLANET Earth right now is from our town. Max Scherzer is throwing a baseball better than anybody in the world. He’s the pride of Parkway Central. He was a standout there, but nobody anticipated this: Scherzer leads the American League in wins and WHIP, and is second in strikeouts. He is the winningest pitcher in baseball in the last two years. How good is Max? Well, his Tigers teammate, Justin Verlander, is a six-time All-Star, an MVP, a Cy Young-Award Winner; and Verlander is now the No. 2 starter in Detroit. It’s Max’s year. He started

the All-Star game, he may get to the World Series, and he is on his way to the Cy Young. He would be the first from St. Louis to win that award. And after the season, he will marry his college sweetheart— not a bad year! Scherzer is almost unfair to hit against. His fastball is in the upper 90s, his slider is deadly, and his curve ball buckles knees. His change-up, which is consistently thrown for strikes, is freezing hitters. Max Scherzer showing up on the mound to face you is tantamount to the 60 Minutes cameras showing up on your front door: It’s not going to end well. We recently spoke by phone:

Was there a moment when you were younger when you thought, I’m a little different, I could do this? You always believe in yourself, and you always continue to get better. You hear the stories of late bloomers. You hear the stories of freak athletes. Even at age 13, I’ve always had that dream of being able to pitch in the Major Leagues. That was my No. 1 goal. I had to work hard enough to put myself in position to be here; and now that I have, I will continue to work hard. I am thankful for every day I am here. When you hear about A-Rod and performanceenhancing drugs, you think what? It’s just so disappointing. We’ve had a big enough deterrent with the 50- and 100-game suspensions that you’d think it would keep players from doing that. We are looking to find ways to shore up the system so we can at least deliver to the fans a clean product.

FIVE THINGS I THINK:

2. Paddy O’s has just been named one of the top eight sports bars in America by Sports Illustrated. I have never seen a place which is as consistently crowded and efficiently run. There are almost as many people on a big Saturday 6 p.m. game at Paddy O’s as is there for an Astros-Mariners matchup. 3. If I had to guess which sports personality (player, coach or general manager) is going to be at their job for the longest period of time from this moment on, I’d choose Mike Matheny. Ownership, management and players love him, and the organization will always be blessing him with great talent. 4. Tommy Lasorda had the line of the month at the Legends of the Dugout event at the MAC: He said he once told his former player, Danny Heep, that he was so slow that if he got into a race with a pregnant woman, he would finish third. 5. Shameless plug: Our new radio home is CBS Sports Radio 920. If you like to hear guests like Rick Reilly, Bob Costas and Mike Ditka, take a listen from 10 a.m. to noon one day. My wife has to take my word for it that I do radio. She hasn’t listened yet. I have only been doing it for 20 years.

1. I watch about 70 youth baseball games a year. I watch because my son, his friends and his team play. I don’t understand ESPN coverage of the Little League World Series. I really don’t care about a 12-year-old from Texas. It’s not the NCAA and March Madness—it’s 12-year-olds. Gimme a break!

have already enacted laws to ensure access to oral anticancer therapies, but that is not the case in Missouri. “We had a hard time getting the insurance company to cover it at the beginning,” Giunta says. “If we would have given up at any point, we wouldn’t have had access to that drug. It’s one of the most stressful situations there is in the life of a parent, and then put that on top of it—it doesn’t have to happen that way.” Fortunately, the treatments are working: Luke had a clear scan in June, meaning that he’s cancerfree. Now, Giunta says, he will be on maintenance chemotherapy for a year. But now that he is coming out of ‘survival mode,’ Luke is happy to help raise awareness for the disease as an Honored Hero at this year’s Light the Night walk, which will take place starting at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 27 in the Upper Muny Parking Lot in Forest Park. Richard Mark, president and CEO of Ameren Illinois, is serving as chair of this year’s event.

had just been diagnosed with leukemia,” Mark says. “We felt that it was important to participate in this event because leukemia and lymphoma affect so many people in our community.” The event, which raised some $850,000 for research and direct aid to families last year, has a goal of $1 million with this year’s event, Mark notes. “It’s important when someone comes down with a disease like this to have support organizations that provide information and people they can turn to.” The walk itself is unique in the region as one of the only fundraising walks to occur at nighttime, he adds. Each participant will receive a lantern—red for supporters, white for cancer survivors and gold for those walking in memory of someone who has passed away—which they can keep as a token of the memorable night. Those lights were one of the most compelling parts of last year’s event for Giunta, as well. She remembers her husband looking ahead and pointing them out to her. “There was this whole river of people in support, with the balloons snaking through Forest Park and up by Children’s Hospital, where Luke is treated,” she says. “It was a huge emotional boost, to see that many people fighting the same battle.”

WEIGHT WATCH continued from page 77 can cause one to feel very fatigued with no energy,” says Deanna Miller, a registered dietitian and clinical nutrition manager at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “The more complex starches (such as brown rice instead of white rice) provide more fiber, and you eat less. They also contain more nutrients.” Eating a variety of minimally processed foods can actually help reduce the addictlike sugar cravings some people experience. “Be sure to include a good source of fiber and protein at each meal and at snacks. This will help keep your blood sugar stable and leave you less likely to crave sugar,” Joyner-Cassell notes. Eating on a regular basis also helps stabilize blood sugar and stunt cravings, she adds. “The bottom line is that balance, variety and moderation are the keys to a healthy diet,” Doss says. “This opens the door to healthy eating that is nutrient dense and leaves room for those special treats on an occasional basis.”
