It’s A Great Time To Buy A Home… But Don’t Take Our Word For It… “One of the best purchases I ever made, was 56 years ago, when I bought the house I’m living in. It brought all kinds of happiness…

Today you can buy a house with very cheap money. You’re going to get a terrific deal on the mortgage.”

EDITOR’S NOTE

TEN YEARS AGO, A NURSE AT CAMP PENDLETON GATHERED A SMALL group of Marine spouses (she was one herself) to find ways to provide lifetime support to post-9/11 service members wounded during deployment. Their efforts led to the creation of the Semper Fi Fund, which has since raised more than $95 million to help a few thousand troops and their families. Each year, the Missouri Friends of Injured Marines hosts a golf fundraiser, the second-largest of its kind nationwide, to benefit the Fund. One special guest this year was Marine Cpl. Tyler Huffman of Fulton, Missouri, who was left partially paralyzed after being struck by two sniper bullets during a December 2010 house-clearing mission in Afghanistan. His ‘smart’ home, vehicle, and washer and dryer were made possible with assistance from the Fund. Also taking his turn at the podium was Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Jay Paxton, who had this to say about troops returning from war: They’re not going to ask for help. They’re not going to say they need it, but they need it. The general concluded by saying, The need is not going to go away. Our coverage of the Missouri Friends of Injured Marines fundraiser is on p. 14.

‌W hat’s your favorite sign that fall is on its way? DIANE ALT LO CA L A PP L ES AT T H E FA RMERS markets, pumpkin ales from local craft breweries on store shelves and then the crisp, cool air that makes me want to grab my sweater and boots—those are among my very favorite signs that autumn is almost here!

JOHN SULLIVAN MY FAVORITE SIGN IS WHEN I’M IN THE garden in the morning. Everything is starting to go to seed and the annuals are starting to die; but for me, it’s not sad—it’s a beautiful phase of the garden. It’s bittersweet, but it’s my favorite time of year.

Almost everyone offers cremation. Offering on-site cremation puts us in a class of our own. Nowadays, it’s very common for a funeral home to offer cremation services. You might not know that cremation and on-site cremation are two very different options. Having an on-site crematory is just another way we guarantee that your loved one’s care is always in reach and near to our hearts.

WERE YOU THERE WHEN ...

BY BLAISE HART-SCHMIDT

After winning the National Kidney Foundation Golf Classic at Whitmoor Country Club, four area golfers are headed to the National Finals in January. More than 110 golfers hit the green, raising $81,000 for the organization. The National Kidney Foundation Golf Classic series includes more than 30 events around the country to raise money for awareness, prevention and treatment programs. Friends of the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis recently celebrated the Whitney M. Young Society at a fundraiser at the Top of the Met. The Society, which honors outstanding donors and volunteers, is named after the National Urban League president who served during the Civil Rights Movement. Todd Schnuck and Lou and Jackie Brock co-chaired the event. Pictured: Robert Griffin, Richard Miles, Michael McMillan, Todd Schnuck, Lou Brock, Vanessa Foster-Cooksey, Frankie Freeman, Emily Pitt and Jacqueline Brock

Thelma and David Steward recently donated $500,000 to Care and Counseling, which will in part fund the Thelma and David Steward Clergy and Congregational Care Program. The Stewards made the donation in tribute to the Rev. Dale Kuhn, who retired as executive director of the organization after 20 years. Care and Counseling has nine centers around the area that provide people of all ages with professional mental health services at affordable rates.

PAUL BROWN’S PERSONS OF INTEREST

CHARLES DAVIS

S SOON AS YOU WALK IN THE door of Ferguson Burger Bar & More, you see a sign that reads: You say I dream too big, I say you think too small. Charles Davis is the person who put that sign up on the wall. Davis opened for business on Friday, Aug. 8, in a small strip mall on West Florissant Avenue on the eastern edge of town. It’s right around the corner from the Canfield Apartments, the same complex where the next day, Aug. 9, Michael Brown would be shot and killed by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. What happened in the hours and days that followed was worldwide news; and from inside the Burger Bar, Davis became a first-hand witness to the protests and looting that touched off a national discussion on race, the use of deadly force and the ‘militarization’ of police. “You see this kind of thing happening on TV in other countries, but to see it right out of your window—the armored vehicles they were in and seeing how they were doing it—was a surreal situation,” Davis recalls. “It was amazing. I thought, Man , am I really seeing this?” Davis became so m ewh a t o f a local hero for defiantly standing his ground, refusing to lock his doors and keeping his business open in the face of chaos a n d u n re s t . “ I wasn’t going to run or leave,” he says. “I opened up to serve the people, and that’s what I was going to do regardless.” We talk as he works the counter at 11:30 p.m. on a Friday night. I tell him about my days growing up in Ferguson, going to the McDonalds across the street, Christmas shopping at nearby Northland, and how I’m still almost in disbelief at what had happened in the place we both have called home. Davis, who was nearing the end of yet another 16-hour shift, was still taking a lot of calls that night, mostly from people ordering his burgers

and fish, but also from people around the country who have heard his story and wanted to commend him for his bravery. “I believe in my God and whatever he wants to happen will happen,” he says. “He gave me this place at a perfect time, so I couldn’t see him allowing something bad to happen.” Most people would think his timing was far from perfect. But as he told me more about his story, I started to think that maybe the timing wasn’t coincidental. Davis is now 47. When he was a kid, his parents sent him to a private Christian grade school, and he later graduated from Lutheran High School North. He went to work for his mom and dad, who owned an upholstery business in the city. But, just like his parents, Davis had the entrepreneurial spirit. He soon started a new business, buying and selling real estate; he currently still owns several rental properties. At about the same time, his father, Charles Sr., also was moving forward. He had been an elder at his church for many years but decided to go into the ministry full-time. He put his upholstery business on the back burner and enrolled in the seminary, determined to become a pastor. But the elder Davis’ calling ended before it even began: Charles Sr. died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 60. “He was my best friend, he was my everything.” says Davis. “I didn’t drink, didn’t smoke, I didn’t

hang out at clubs, I worked and went home. Dad was my all in all.” For a long time, Davis admitted he was mad at God, and quit going to church. He says it took him 10 years to realize that while he loved his dad, his death was just part of God’s plan for him. “Just a few weeks before I bought this place I got on my knees and said, You know what, Lord? I’m done. I’m going to stop and stay still and allow you to tell me where I need to go. And a few days later, for some reason, I went on Craigslist and went into a section I had never been in: Businesses for Sale.” Davis saw the Burger Bar, and bought it within days. He doesn’t think it was a coincidence, either. He still isn’t sure why he was put in this spot or what his future will bring, but he knows it will include a lot more hard work to make a better life for his wife (and co-owner), Kizzie, and their five kids. Some people say Davis should go into politics; he would like to see a more racially diverse government and changes in policing. But the scenes that gripped St. Louis and the nation spurred Davis to dream even bigger for his business: He wants to take the Ferguson Burger Bar name national. He thinks that ultimately, there will be a lot of good that comes from all of this and maybe a national franchise—one that carries the Ferguson name— would be a good reminder in his neighborhood. We could use more dreamers just like him.

Oh, To Be A Kid Again!

ROWN-UPS CAN BE KIDS again at St. Louis Children’s H o s p i t a l ’s i n a u g u ra l nontraditional gala, Play Date. Guests are invited to forgo the usual cocktail attire and don colorful, creative and comfortable wear for the interactive evening, beginning at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22 at St. Louis Union Station. “It’s an adult night out inspired by kids,” explains Annie Geile, event chair and board member of Friends of St. Louis Children’s Hospital. “It ties back to the whole goal of Children’s—which is to let kids be kids.” The night of entertainment will kick off with a pre-party in The Midway at Union Station, then move into the Grand Hall for a seated dinner with a different spin on gala fare, as well as an after-party, complete with a special surprise guaranteed to wow guests, Geile notes. “Each part of the evening is in a very unique space and has a fun surprise to

it.” Guests will have the rare opportunity to play games hearkening back to their childhood in the Play Date arcade and bid on kid-approved auction items. “Everything is something you would love to do if you were a kid again,” Geile says. During the dinner program, a St. Louis Children’s Hospital patient also will share his experiences with the nationally acclaimed facility and staff. And guests can continue to follow his journey on the second season premiere of the hospital’s documentary series, Frontline for Hope. The event’s fundraising goal is set for $400,000 to benefit the hospital’s mobile community outreach program, Healthy Kids Express, as well as music and art therapy. Healthy Kids Express delivers health care to children ages 1 to 18 in St. Louis city, surrounding counties and the Metro East. More than 100,000 children have been treated and 200,000plus screenings have been conducted since the program’s inception in 1999. Services on the 40-foot health vans include immunizations,

physical examinations, and screenings for hearing and vision deficiencies. “A lot of kids on the mobile health van don’t have a primary-care physician. We provide them with free medical care,” explains Janice Bailey, VP of St. Louis Children’s Hospital Foundation. One patient who was homeless and struggling in school learned she needed glasses following an eye exam on the Healthy Kids Express. “After that, her love of books really excelled, and she recently graduated from her eighth grade class as salutatorian,” Bailey recalls. “It really helped turn her life in a different direction.” Continued on page 75

WEDDING WISDOM

In Good Taste

HROUGH THE YEARS, I HAVE FELT so flattered, so honored, when anyone would say that the weddings we do as a shop are in such good taste. When one is called a taste-maker, you inherit a great responsibility. You question yourself: Am I getting complimented on someone else’s idea? Am I merely copying something we had success with in the past? The truth is, weddings, like snowflakes, are never alike. It’s because of the people involved. I always want the bride’s personality to be our guide. I always reassure a young woman at her first bridal appointment, We are going to figure out exactly what it is that you want—and you’re going to get that, only with no mistakes, and in the best of taste. I admit not every wedding is my own taste, but even our most unusual, ‘out-there’ requests can turn out to be some of our finest work. You always worry that your taste is getting passé. You’ve had your time in the sun, and now

it’s over. An example that comes to mind were those print Laura Ashley dresses of the late-’80s and ’90s. They had poufy sleeves and big floral prints. I thought they were lovely. Now, when I look at a picture from that time, I sort of wince. They are more like chintz slipcovers than bridesmaids’ dresses. But at the time, they were au courant and in the best of taste. I feel we stay vital for a number of reasons: A) the vibrant, fresh personalities of the young brides, B) a flexibility and willingness to change, and C) an eagerness to improve. Weddings and etiquette are my forte. To make sure what I say and write about stays fresh, I go to my essentials: Good taste, teamed with genteel manners, always is a winning combination in my book. Knowing what’s good taste is not a birthright. It always requires a lot of work to discern what’s best in each situation. I must stay in touch with trade magazines and stylish shops; I must be incredibly patient, selective and discerning. For me to stay at

the top of my game, I have to be aware of what’s available currently in all aspects of our business. It never was a business of sticking some flowers in a vase. But today, you’ve got to know about lighting, tablecloths, flatware, china, chairs, the freshest Continued on page 75

HAIS, HAIS & GOLDBERGER

The Real Deal ‌T

HROUGHOUT HER 35 YEARS OF PRACTICing law—most of it in the field of family law— Susan Hais has received quite a collection of cards and letters. “I have gotten lots of feedback from people throughout the years,” she says. “I have a special drawer in my desk where I place that letter or thank-you card, so I can always remember why I keep doing it.” While many aspects of getting a divorce are technical or financial, the process has an extra layer of emotion that is not common to many other areas of law, notes Hais, a partner at Hais, Hais & Goldberger. Because so many aspects of life—from money, to a home, to custody of children—can be affected by what happens during an emotional time, trust becomes the key component to the attorney-client relationship, she says. “One thing you can do is always be there for them,” Hais says. “If they call, I always take the call. It’s really important to be available.” Hais says most of the firm’s business comes from referrals—often from former clients—so working with clients in an empathetic and straightforward manner is even more vital. “They trust me and feel

BY LISA WATSON

that I did a good job, [and know] that I was there for them and cared about them more than being just a file,” she says. “I’ve been practicing for a number of years, and I always feel empathy for the people who come into my office. People sense that, and I’ll listen to them and try to do the right thing and protect them, and that’s what people are looking for. And it’s not just women—men want to feel protected, too. They may not always say it, but especially in the area of custody, many men feel nervous and want to make sure their rights are protected.” Sam Hais, Susan’s husband and partner in the firm, agrees. “We stand between them and the serious technical problems that they’re not equipped to deal with directly. They come to Susan and see that her manner is quiet and polite, but she always gets to the goal, in a way that is dignified and professional.” He cautions against dealing with an attorney who yells or uses manipulative tactics to get his or her way, which often can mask a lack of preparation. Calling on his 26-year background as a judge before joining the firm, he says, “It’s a lot easier to listen to a reasonable, modulated voice that is polite and respectful to the court. If you want

good results, trust your instincts when you meet a lawyer.” Rather than using manipulation to get results for clients, Susan Hais says her own tactic is more simple, yet effective: “If you try enough cases and have the experience, you have a sixth sense as to what will happen in a particular situation,” she says. “I decide what I think is the right thing to do, and I do it regardless of how difficult it is. People want you to represent them honestly. When you do that, whatever the outcome, they’re grateful, because you went to bat for them.”

Professional Mentors

Lifelong Lessons By Julia Christensen

Alisse Camazine, Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal My mentor was a guy named Chester Love. I started practicing with him in 1980; and, at that time, there were a lot less women around. He taught me how to think, how your ethics needed to be beyond reproach, and how to deal with some of the difficult, older lawyers in town. He also taught me not to think about being a male or female attorney—you just be the best lawyer you can be. And I think, as a result, I’ve been very successful.

When a client hires a family law attorney, they have lots of mixed emotions. Many do not want to be going through a family law case in the first place. They would prefer it if they could work it out outside of court. But many are forced to deal with the matter and they end up in a divorce attorney’s office explaining what caused the situation to rise to a level where litigation has become necessary. It is natural for parties to explain the tale from their perspective. After all, it is hard for a client to consider the other side and a contrary point of view. Or, many parties are uncomfortable 34

disclosing potentially embarrassing facts to their attorneys. This can result in a family law attorney receiving only half the picture which is hard for the attorney. An experienced family law attorney will likely want to ask what the other party would say if they were in the room. They will try to uncover the other side of the story so that they are fully prepared for what may come and any alternate arguments that might be out there. A client should attempt to engage in such a conversation. This just means that they are trying to get the full picture so that they can be the best advocate possible for their client in court. No matter whether a party feels good about what they’ve done or not, honesty is the best approach. It is vital that a client be open and candid with their family law or divorce attorney. Otherwise, an attorney can end up in the

IN SUITS AT COMMON LAW…

THE RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY SHALL BE PRESERVED...

I would say that my first professional mentor was the first attorney that I worked for as an associate, and she’s also my sister—Susan Roach. When I first got out of law school, I was pretty much a perfectionist and probably would have scared myself to death with everything. She was kind of handsoff, but gave me a lot of opportunities that I probably would have thought were beyond my capabilities—but she knew I could do them. She trusted her instincts about what my skills were, and gave me an opportunity to do a jury trial. I ended up getting a verdict of $1.1 million, and it was the biggest verdict in St. Louis County that year. I was flabbergasted, and her response was, I knew that you were ready. I don’t think you can mentor every person the same way, but it was an approach that really worked for me.

I learned valuable lessons from a couple of trial lawyers: Ted Ponfil and Jerry Ortbals. Ted retired, Jerry is still in practice. I’ve encountered them in cases; I’ve been opposed to them both. I learned a lot from [Ted] with respect to how to approach a matter, and how to try to resolve a matter. Jerry is a class act, and displays civility among opponents that sets an example for the rest of us. He is very assertive but in a charming manner that inspires respect and admiration. They both represent the finest qualities that I’ve had an opportunity to observe over my almost 40 years of practice. They were important men in forming my professional decorum.

Prenups & Postnups

The Second Time Around

Zerman Mogerman LLC 100 South Brentwood Boulevard, Suite 325 Clayton, Missouri 63105 314/862-4444 zermanmogerman.com

ou’ve worked hard building your career, raising your children and accumulating assets. Now, you’re entering into a second marriage…Should a prenuptial agreement be part of the equation to protect these important parts of your life? Some area attorneys say people tying the knot the second time around are increasingly opting for prenuptial (prenup) agreements. “The main reason people want to do a prenup is to protect their assets in the event of a divorce—and also to protect their wealth for their children in the event of their death,” explains family law attorney Sophy Raza of Danna McKitrick. Family law attorney Barbara Behrens of Behrens Law Firm agrees, noting that people want to pass on their estate from a previous marriage to their kids—not to their future ex-spouses and in-laws should the marriage end in divorce. When the honeymoon phase of the relationship has passed, attorneys say it’s important to think logically about marriage. For some couples, that’s where a prenup—or postnup—may come into play. “You would never go into a business relationship without signing something,” Raza says. “With marriage, you are entering a financial relationship—you

“With marriage, you are entering a financial relationship—you also are entering a relationship with a lot of other things, but it is also a financial relationship. (With prenuptial agreements) you know everyone’s expectations ahead of time. It decreases arguments over finances.” Sophy Raza, Danna McKitrick

also are entering a relationship with a lot of other things, but it is also a financial relationship. (With prenuptial agreements) you know everyone’s expectations ahead of time. It decreases arguments over finances.” In Missouri, the court will examine the validity of the agreement and choose whether it will be enforced. All income, debt and a full list of assets must be included in the agreement, and it must have been signed while neither party was under duress—and in plenty of time before the wedding to ensure there was ample time to understand and negotiate it, Behrens explains. “Both parties should be represented by an attorney and know what they’re signing,” Raza adds. For those who choose to draft prenups or postnups, family law attorney Susan Hais of Hais, Hais & Goldberger says it’s important to consult an attorney with experience in family, business and probate law. While agreements are not prepared at Hais, the firm has years of experience handling the litigation of them. And that litigation process often becomes tricky, Hais notes. “Sometimes, there are unforeseen things in an agreement, or it is not as well-written as it could have been, and you can read things two ways.” The agreements also may be contrary to the law or against public policy, which may lead to unfairness, Hais continues. “It’s a fairness issue that troubles me. What should happen is the intent of the parties should be carried out, and these agreements allow for changes.” Another issue centers on the trial court, she says. “Our trial courts don’t get enough practice reading agreements and may not have the ability to analyze them consistently.” Attorneys caution couples to discuss the matter thoroughly before deciding to draft any agreements. Because, as Hais says, “They have the potential to be beneficial, useful and conducive to harmony in the marriage—or just the opposite, depending on the people in the marriage.”

Driving Under the Influence

Judgment Call

A ‌

By Blaise Hart-Schmidt

s the holiday season draws near, and pumpkin ales, eggnog and Champagne become abundant, it’s even more important for drivers to use good judgment about their sobriety, as well as know what to do if they’re ever pulled over. Travis Noble, a partner at Sindel, Sindel and Noble, says that Driving While Intoxicated charges, or DWIs, can be a tricky field. Although drivers are not obligated to take a field sobriety or breathalyzer test, an officer still can arrest a driver based on other symptoms of intoxication. Drivers also can request to speak with their lawyer, in which case the officer is obligated to give the person 20 minutes to do so. Noble advises his clients to use this time to call him, so he can help determine whether they should take the tests. This decision also can depend on where

they were pulled over, as different jurisdictions deal with DWIs differently, he says. A driver’s blood alcohol content depends on numerous factors, including when they started and stopped drinking, if they ate, and how much and what type of alcohol they consumed, says Growe Eisen Karlen partner Jason Charpentier. “If you think you are below the limit for sure, or on the bubble, then it might be in your best interest to cooperate,” he says. “But if you’ve been drinking heavily and there’s no question you’re going to be over the limit, my advice as a criminal defense attorney is to not give them any more evidence than they can already gather.” Another misconception is that drivers must be drunk and blow a .08 (the blood-alcohol limit in Missouri) in a breathalyzer test to receive a DWI, Noble says, though this is not the case. “0.08 is Continued on page 42

pretty low,” he says. “It doesn’t take a lot to get you to a .08. It’s the presumptive level of being under the influence. But let’s say someone is 21 years old and gets stopped. They never drank until they were 21, and they’re not an experienced drinker. They’re weaving [in-between the lanes] and they fail the field sobriety test… and blow a 0.07. They can still charge you with driving while intoxicated.” If a driver is arrested, the officer will read to them what’s called the Missouri Implied Consent Law back at the station. The officer will ask for a

sample of breath, blood or urine, Noble says, and drivers can either consent or refuse. However, those who refuse have 15 days before their license is revoked for one year. (This can later be challenged in court.) In the state of Missouri, a DWI charge opens two cases: one criminal and one administrative, and drivers and their lawyers must deal with both. There are guidelines and tools to help drivers decide whether they are OK to drive, says Noble. “My rule of thumb is, if you’ve had more than two beers or two glasses of wine, I’d be

very cautious,” he says. Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) cards and even some apps allow drivers to select their gender, weight, and how much of what type of alcohol they’ve consumed, says Charpentier. Keeping a portable breathalyzer in the car also can come in handy. Still, he says the easiest way to avoid getting a DWI remains the same: “Call a cab,” he says. “Sure, there are some trial attorneys who have a lot of success getting acquittals, but who wants to go down that road and spend $10,000 or more, when a cab costs $50?”

JUICING

Cheers to Your Health! BY CONNIE MITCHELL

F YOU DON’T LIKE TO EAT YOUR VEGETABLES, maybe you’d prefer to drink them. Juicing is a popular option for consuming fruits and vegetables, and there are many benefits. “It provides vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, which means nutrients from plants,” says Kathy Mankofsky, a registered dietitian with Mercy Hospital Dietitian Services. “There are literally thousands of these special phytonutrients in fresh fruits and vegetables that you can’t get in a vitamin supplement.” Mankofsky recommends two to four whole fruits, and three to five vegetables a day. However, she says if you don’t enjoy eating fruits and vegetables, juicing may be a fun way to add them into your diet. “Juicing allows you to get your recommended fruit and vegetable servings in a quick and easy way.” The raw vegetables used in juicing provide higher levels of vitamins than cooked vegetables, Mankofsky adds. “Cooking destroys some of the vitamins in vegetables. Since juicing uses raw vegetables, you get much higher vitamin levels than when they have been cooked.” Steven Becker, owner of Nadoz Bakery & Cafe, says gourmet juices are very popular among his customers.

He has developed a variety of juice blends, such as Mean Green, made with kale, celery, apple and parsley. “We use whole, fresh fruits and vegetables in our juices,” he says. “The fruit adds sweetness and compensates for the earthiness of the greens and vegetables.” An avid home-juicer, Becker recommends using a quality juicer that can process all portions of the fruit or vegetable, including peels and skins, which contain many vital nutrients. “When I drink fresh juice first thing in the morning, it’s like I’m injecting vitamins, minerals and Continued on page 75

SODIUM INTAKE

Beware the Salty Six

ODIUM (SALT) IS AN ESSENTIAL nutrient that everyone needs for normal muscle and nerve function. But too much sodium can contribute to serious health problems, and modern diets that include processed foods often are sodium-heavy. “Too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure and poor blood pressure control in those who have hypertension, increasing the risk of stroke and heart disease,” explains Dr. Angela Brown, a clinical hypertension specialist with Washington University Physicians. “It can also cause swelling and fluid retention, particularly in patients who have congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease or liver disease (cirrhosis). And kids who have high sodium diets are 40 percent more likely to have elevated blood pressure than kids who have lower sodium diets.” On the other side of the coin, a sodium deficiency can cause problems with muscles and

nerves, leading to seizures, coma and even death, notes Rachel Matusiak, an outpatient dietitian with Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “However, these complications rarely arise from not getting enough sodium in the diet, and generally are caused by medications or other medical conditions,” she says. The typical adult needs 1,500 to 2,400 milligrams of sodium per day, but the average American often consumes two or three times that amount, says Dr. Millie Mattfeldt-Beman, chair of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University. “Processed food is the biggest culprit,” she adds. “People can reduce their sodium intake by as much as 75 percent if they stop eating processed foods. For example, just look at the label on a can of chicken noodle soup. It could be called ‘sodium noodle soup.’” For this reason, Mattfeldt-Beman urges people to prepare home-cooked meals, relying on fresh herbs and ingredients with strong flavor profiles

that don’t require salt for taste. “Sharp cheeses, sautéed vegetables, fresh herbs, citrus juices— these are the kinds of flavors that don’t require a lot of salt,” she says. “And when you begin reducing sodium and eating more fresh foods, you’ll re-train your palate so that highly salted foods are Continued on page 75

The Pleasures of a Garden Pond BY PAT RAVEN, PH.D., AND JULIE HESS

Presents

Spirit Girls’ Night Out

Good Health is Always in Style Thursday, October 9 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. St. Louis Marriott West Waterfall at Missouri Botanical Garden

HE SIMPLEST FOUNTAINS INCLUDE ONLY A WATERPROOF container and pump. On the other hand, major creations may include features such as multiple waterfalls, fountains, underwater lighting, ledges for water plants and perfectly placed sitting rocks. In my last water garden construction project, we added a natural stone platform for feeding the koi, a large node in the stream to serve as a natural Jacuzzi and several aeration pumps to keep the water welloxygenated for the fish.

PHOTO BY DAVID LAMPE

Make a Basic Plan The first fork in the decision tree is to determine if the water feature will be a weekend project for you or a contractor-fulfilled dream. The method of construction comes next. Use liners of natural clay for large ponds or rubber ones for smaller pools. Poured concrete with natural stone finishes are a top-of-the-line choice. Any large container that can be made waterproof can serve as the starting point for a water feature. Whiskey barrels, footed bathtubs, recycled commercial steel containers…the only limit is your imagination. Choosing a Water Pump The smallest of pumps for small tabletop or wall fountains can cost $20 or less. Unfortunately, these basic units generally do not offer important features such as low water shut-off controls. If the fountain runs dry—a common occurrence for small-volume containers on really hot or windy days—the pump can permanently quit. Prices range from $10 to $100 for fancier models, but it beats replacing pumps a couple of times a year. Pumps are rated by their GPHs or gallons per hour and lift capacity. A tabletop fountain with a 12-inch lift may use a 70 to 100 GPH pump for even, gentle bubbling. An 8-foot waterfall with crashing torrents

Continued from page 63 may run 2,000 to 8,000 GPH. The GPH is the flow rate or the amount of water that is pushed through the pipe per hour. Lift capacity relates to the pressure behind the flow. Electricity Whether hard-wired or solar, the pump needs a power supply. Be sure to select outdoor-rated electrical cords. We use the same lines for pumps in the summer and holiday lights in the winter. Exterior electrical outlets should have a groundfault-interrupt (GFI) feature and be shielded from the elements by a waterproof cover. Solar power supplies for fountains have been around for many years. They allow the placement of pumps in areas not served by outside electrical outlets. To work effectively, the solar panel must be placed in full sun. Most offer less energy than hard-wired fixtures, so the flow rate is not huge. Durability is another issue with the solar units, with many of the inexpensive ones lasting only a season or two. Keeping Your Water Sparkling Unkempt fountains can be unattractive, smelly and full of mosquitoes. Simple maintenance practices can keep your water feature glistening: • Change the water often in small fixtures. Birdbaths should be cleaned and refilled weekly.

Larger pools, especially those with fish, benefit from partial water changes periodically. • Clean basins with stiff brushes and vinegar and make sure to rinse completely. Cleanser or sand may be used as long as they are totally rinsed away. • Clean pumps by unplugging, removing the strainer screen and impeller cover (if present) and flush hard with a garden hose. Reassemble and test. • Prevent algae by using an animal-safe algicide from the pet or hardware store. Some products, like TetraPond algae blocks, while great for bird baths and fish, are not for use with live plants. • If you must use chlorine bleach to get a fresh start, add it with an eye-dropper, let stand five minutes, then flush multiple times. Chlorine is very hard on the rubber and plastic parts of pumps. • Control mosquitoes by using active water movement (fountains or bubblers), adding fish or using BT-containing mosquito pellets, torpedoes or doughnuts. • Pond enzyme products, barley bales, or extracts and bio-filtration boxes all help maintain a healthy ecosystem when water plants and fish are present. • Don’t put in too many fish. The nitrogen in fish waste contributes to algae formation.

Plants that Love to Swim Willow is the first tree that comes to mind when one talks of a wet growing location. Other fine trees for damp to standing water include bald cypress, black gum and water hickory. Some shrubs for boggy edges include button bush and marsh mallow. Herbaceous plants for pots on ledges in the pool include papyrus, callas, caladiums, water lilies, lotus, and dwarf cattails. A Little Guidance for Your Water Garden Some of the observations that I have made along the way: • Small is good. Large gets very expensive very quickly. • If water can leak, it will. Rubber pond-liners, poured concrete or compacted clay all will lose some water somewhere, and you will go crazy if you aim for perfection. • Too much water flowing is bad for conversation. Our pond is very small and edged by the terrace, so we ended up with a two-pump system: one for high volume to filter and skim the moving water, and one with low volume that doesn’t crowd out a lovely conversation. • Look at completed projects before deciding on a feature or contractor. Shop around. • Choose materials carefully to blend into nature or to balance the architecture of your home.

The Horror! IT’S OFFICIALLY FALL: SCHOOL IS IN FULL swing, sweaters are coming out and thoughts turn to pumpkin-carving and apple-picking. I know it’s fall for another reason: At the cineplex, the film previews have turned to all things sinister. You know what I mean. The trailer starts off with a girl entering a long, abandoned attic, and pulling drop cloths off Victorian furniture. Then she comes across an old charm/mirror/clock/masque and the violent montage begins. After a few lines of dialogue explaining the premise—the man murdered a dozen girls then disappeared/they thought she was a witch and burned her home with her in it/he walked into the old mine one day and never emerged—the credits pop up. Brace yourself. Then, there’s one final scary shot of a face with yellow eyes (or a dead body sitting up). Yeah, yeah. Although really, why should we expect a preview for a horror movie to be inventive or original when the movies themselves are even less so? Other than the special-effects technology that can make it appear the human body is contorting unnaturally, nothing much has changed—really, that hasn’t changed, either. Remember The Exorcist? So, why can’t scary movies think outside the box? The last time a scary movie veered away from formula, it won an Academy Award. That being said, a horror film doesn’t have to be Oscar-worthy, just original. To that end, here are some tips: Kill the good girl. It’s a long-standing joke that ‘the virgin’ is the only one who makes it out alive. Personally, the judgy prude is the first one I’d off. Really, the whole cast list could use some overhauling. How about a group where the median IQ is more than 105? Perhaps the cast could have some ethnic diversity? Let’s have a group of college kids who think running up the stairs isn’t the best way

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER to get out of the house—or that staying together is safer than splitting up. Kill the bad guy. I’m all for a gruesome villain, but at some point, their indestructibility becomes comical. In the first Halloween movie, Michael Myers gets shot multiple times then falls out a window. When Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis come out to find the body, he’s gone. That’s cool. That’s almost believable. More than that is an eye roll and a video rental. Selective hearing/sight. Really? You just turned around and there was the killer? He’s remarkably light on his feet. Plus, he was standing in your periphery for, like, half the scene and you didn’t notice. Voices of reason. The cops/parents/neighbors—if it’s even possible—are stupider than the kids. Honey, your father and I are going to the country for the week. There’s food in the fridge. Oh-hokay. Then, there’s the police who never believe the crazed teen. Sure, she’s covered in blood and lives in a house formerly occupied by a chainsaw killer who survived the electric chair, but she’s probably just drunk. The weird thing is, I think the thing that would make a scary movie scary is to make it more realistic. I don’t mean a terror threat or anything, but if the house is haunted, let’s see five or six smart kids take on that demon. It seems like there are a lot of ways the horror genre could be improved. I guess the biggest fear in Hollywood is the unknown.

THEATER REVIEW BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

The Drop

PUPPY LOVE RATING: 6 out of 10

HEN I SEE A MOVIE released in 2014 that stars the late James Gandolfini, I worry. The cynic in me assumes the film was shelved after it was shot, and only released after Gandolfini’s death in hopes of sympathy ticket sales. I don’t know if that’s what actually happened; regardless, this film is certainly worthy. Bob (Tom Hardy) is a quiet bartender at a bar once owned by his cousin, Marv (Gandolofini), but is now in the hands of the Chechen mob. The bar is your average dive, unremarkable but for those one or two days every few months when it is used by the mob as a money drop. Plain envelopes are passed to Bob and he deposits them in a hidden safe. Walking home from work one day, Bob hears a noise in a trash can and discovers an abused and abandoned pitbull puppy. After he rescues it with the help of a neighbor, Nadia (Noomi Rapace), he discovers that an unbalanced neighborhood thug owned the dog and isn’t happy about Bob’s new pet. Meanwhile, Bob suspects the bar may be a target when it is used for the next drop. Honestly, I have to say I couldn’t enjoy the movie because I spent the whole time worrying about the d@mn dog. It’s an abused puppy and there are 50 different ways for something to happen to the little guy; plus, writer Dennis Lehane (Mystic River) isn’t known for warm and fuzzy stories. That being said, the film is very satisfying. Tom Hardy is extremely talented and plays the tough guy with a long fuse to a tee. It’s not a great movie—there are plot holes and loose ends that are confounding—but it’s a good movie.

The Trip

FOOD FOR THOUGHT RATING: 6 out of 10

THEATER PHOTO BY JOHN LAMB

TEVE COOGAN IS an interesting actor. While his film, Philomena, was not my favorite, it did catch the eye of critics and brought him to the forefront as an Indie mainstay. He has a unique ability to find humor in serious material, and reveals a surprising vulnerability when playing a thick-skinned grouch—in this case, himself. Coogan, after exhausting his list of preferred companions, calls his friend, Rob (Rob Brydon), to join him on a road trip reviewing restaurants in the Lake District. Together, the two pull out their best impersonations (and they are spot-on) of famous actors, eat and ponder life at midlife. I liked almost everything about the film; emphasis on liked. It’s pleasant. It’s funny, and, at times, poignant. I wouldn’t tell you to run out and see it, and it certainly could have benefited from some more aggressive editing, but all in all it’s a charming jaunt.

Death of a Salesman BY MARK BRETZ

STORY: For 36 years, Willy Loman has led the life of a salesman, covering all of New England for the New York company he represents. To hear Willy tell it, he cuts a wide swath through the northeastern United States, where people welcome him with open arms and deep pockets. These days, though, Willy is faltering. His memory isn’t what it once was, and many of the customers who filled orders in bygone days are gone themselves now. He returns from a long week on the road dragging himself into his house, where he’s greeted by his always-understanding wife, Linda. Sharing a bedroom upstairs are their two adult sons. Immature Happy has an apartment in the city, but his older brother, Biff, is back in town after another failed venture. Biff was a high school football star who was destined for greatness, according to Willy, until something happened near the end of his senior year that changed his outlook and his life.

HIGHLIGHTS: Willy Loman is one of the treasured characters in American theater, the States’ equivalent of Hamlet or King Lear. Playwright Arthur Miller won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award in 1949 for his remarkable drama, which is palpably realistic in its dialogue and uncanny, innate understanding of human emotions.

COMPANY: Insight Theatre Company VENUE: Heagney Theatre, Nerinx Hall High School, 530 East Lockwood Ave. DATES: Sept. 19-21 TICKETS: $15-$30; 556-1293 or insighttheatrecompany.com RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5. More reviews available at laduenews.com

It’s a testament to the performance of the Insight Theatre cast and to the judicious direction of Wayne Loui that the three hours consumed by the drama’s two acts never seem to drag. Loui’s guidance is finely calibrated, pulling an audience quickly into the story and never letting go until the story’s sad, stark conclusion. John Contini’s performance as Willy is exhausting to observe. Physically, he’s on stage virtually the entire time. Emotionally, his range fluctuates abruptly from pleasant conversation to violent, verbal outbursts that often are accompanied by physical threats. Susie Wall shows Linda’s unequivocal love for her husband and also counter-balances Linda’s comfortable grasp of reality with Willy’s flights of fancy. Jason Contini, John’s real-life son, captures the empty-minded braggadocio of Happy, a slick-talking, shady businessman destined to inherit his father’s destructive fantasies. Matthew Lindhardt strikes a profound contrast with Willy as eldest son Biff. He carefully depicts the inner demons that have afflicted Biff for 15 years, a man now in his 30s who is still trying to live up to his father’s twisted ideals, images that Willy himself has irreparably damaged. Death of a Salesman continues to resonate as a powerful piece of theater. In the title role, John Contini moves Insight’s production as determinedly and tragically as the conductor of a runaway train bound for imminent disaster.

The Good Pie

A Spot in the Pizza Pantheon BY SIDNEY LEWIS

WHEN THE GOOD PIE ANNOUNCED THAT IT was leaving its original Midtown location for new digs in the Delmar Loop a while back, there was some concern among pizza aficionados that the move might impact the restaurant’s top-notch Neapolitan pies and other culinary specialties. Turns out any worrying was for naught, as we discovered on a recent visit. The new space, which used to be part of Ginger Bistro, lacks some of the eclectic charm of the original, but the dearth of decor is mitigated by the increase in elbow room. Like the original, the centerpiece of the restaurant is the wood-burning oven where the pizza magic happens in full view of the dining room. The new incarnation also benefits from the Loop’s large public parking lot just north of Delmar Boulevard. The selection of starters and salads at The Good Pie is decidedly slim—just four apps and three salads are available—making the decision-making process easy. We sampled the White Bean Dip ($4) and the Chop Salad ($6), while deliberating which of the seven signature pizzas we’d be sampling later. The dip is similar in taste and consistency to hummus, subbing white beans for chickpeas. Seasoned with just a touch of lemon oil and parsley, and paired with thick strips of bread, it’s a hearty serving that’s perfect for sharing. The chop salad is a tasty take on that favorite Hill specialty, with plenty of peppers, olives, red onion and salami. Again, the serving is generous and eminently shareable.

As good as the starters are, we came for the pizza. The final judgement was in favor of one each of the Salsiccia ($14) and the Mastunicola ($14). The Good Pie’s pies are approximately 12 inches, larger than some so-called ‘personal’ pizzas, but small enough to sate one big appetite or provide samples for a couple of smaller ones. Unlike a lot of pizzas where toppings are piled on top of each other to a ridiculous degree, Neapolitan pizzas are fairly minimalist, with just a few ingredients that work together instead of canceling each other out. Both of our pies were prime examples of this aesthetic: The salsiccia combines house-made sausage, tomato and basil, along with mozzarella; while the mastunicola partners pancetta, Parmigiano and sage with an egg on top. Each pizza was well-balanced, with every ingredient playing nicely with the others—the peppery basil brought out the spice of the sausage; the salty pancetta was softened by the rich egg yolk. As has been the case since it opened in 2008, The Good Pie continues to be one of the top proponents of this style of pizza in town, and remains in the pantheon of our favorite pizza joints. Also worth mentioning is the bar program: not just beer and shots here. Rather, The Good Pie has plenty of quality craft cocktails on hand. So even if you’re only in the mood for drinks, The Good Pie has you covered. 6665 Delmar Blvd., 899-9221, thegoodpiestl.com

GREEN GOURMET

MELISSA GILBERT’S MY PRAIRIE COOKBOOK

From Her Little House to Yours

NCE UPON A TIME, there was a little house on a big prairie, and practically everyone was a ‘Green Gourmet.’ People, for the most part, lived green and ate green. This way of life was the focus of the celebrated series of books, affectionately known as the Little House books, by Laura Ingalls Wilder—only Wilder didn’t know to call it ‘green’ when she decided to record her family’s stories from the late-1800s. Jump ahead to the next century—the 1970s, to be more specific—with the debut of the television adaptation of Little House on the Prairie, featuring Melissa Gilbert as the young Laura Ingalls. “That was the best game of dress-up ever!” says a laughing Gilbert, who started the show at age 9 and proceeded to grow up during the series’ run from 1974 to 1983. “I was in heaven! My boots actually buttoned up with a buttonhook, and riding in that wagon and hearing the clumping of the horses’ hooves, with fires burning and the smell of things cooking...and there were cows and snow and mud and Jack the dog—to me, it was real, yet I knew it was a job. But what a great job to have!” And now in 2014, Gilbert is remembering her own story, much in the way that Wilder did, through her own book—a cookbook—titled My Prairie Cookbook: Memories and Frontier Food from My Little House to Yours. “It feels like this book was meant to be,” Gilbert notes. “I wrote my autobiography about 10 years ago, and the one thing that I heard over and over from Little House fans was that they wished that I had included more stories from behind the scenes. So Abrams Publishing approached me, but I felt that it needed more.” Well, it just so happened that practically every time her editor called, Gilbert was cooking. Her editor asked, “Do you make anything that’s kind of homey, prairie, you know, like family food?” Now, Gilbert had a book. “I wanted it to feel like a remembrance book, like a scrapbook, like an heirloom, like it was something that I kept in my home and in my kitchen, filled with my memories that I wanted to share.” After raising—and cooking for —four boys, and with her experiences on the set of Little House, Gilbert had a lot to share, from anecdotes and old photos from the TV series to recipes straight from her own kitchen. “I enjoy the ritual of cooking,” she says. “For me, it’s a great creative outlet, especially when I’m not working as an actor or writing. But when the kids were growing up, meals also were a time when we could all sit down together and share our stories, connect and be a family.” And one dish that she made often while raising her family especially brings back fond memories

of the Little House set: Fried Chicken. “My fried chicken recipe serves as a cornerstone for this book,” Gilbert notes. “First of all, everyone who I make it for asks for the recipe. And, you know, we ate a lot of fried chicken on the Little House set, but that was Kentucky Fried Chicken. Mine is considerably different—there isn’t a wash, there are no eggs or milk—the secret is that it’s pan-fried. It’s really crispy and juicy—and to me, it’s the ultimate Little House on the Prairie food.” Gilbert describes herself as a “very gung-ho eater” as a young girl. “Michael Landon (Charles Ingalls) loved the way I ate on camera, so (as a director) when he would do my coverage, he would cut the camera and then not tell me,” she remembers. “I would just keep eating and eating and eating until everyone would start laughing! We also ate a lot of peas on Little House, and sometimes Michael would be off-camera and it would be at the end of one of my close-ups, and I would get a spoonful of peas flung in my face. Of course, it was Michael. He was a surrogate father to me—he is in the top three of the most influential people in my life.” Recently married to actor and director Timothy Busfield, Gilbert has adjusted her approach to food in their everyday lives, making it as green as it can possibly be. “I believe in eating clean, whole foods and eating them reasonably,” she explains. “The recipes in my book can be easily modified, making them lower in fat and calories—but these are my recipes. Just about everything is made from scratch—everything except for the pie crusts.” Gilbert also works local foods into her cooking whenever possible. “I live in Michigan now—in a farming community—and we have a local farmers market. Most of everything I get is local, and I try to cook seasonal as much as I can,” she says. “If it helps to keep my family healthy, then that’s what I’ll do. And it also supports the local economy in a big way.” Laura Ingalls Wilder ended her first book, Little House in the Big Woods, with: It can never be a long time ago. Perhaps this is true, but like Gilbert, many of us have come full circle in our appreciation of our local farmer. (Editor’s Note: Gilbert is in St. Louis Sept. 19 for a discussion and book-signing at Maryville University.)

SODIUM INTAKE continued from page 62 no longer tasty. Instead, they’re just salty.” The American Heart Association has put together a list of ‘The Salty Six,’ which are six popular foods that can add a tremendous amount of sodium to your daily totals, Matusiak says. They include: breads/rolls, cold cuts/cured meats, pizza, poultry, soup and sandwiches. “We encourage people to look at food labels and

compare different brands,” she says. “Be aware that even products labeled as ‘reduced salt’ or ‘less sodium’ can be culprits because they often still have high levels of sodium. A simple reduction of 25 percent still can be a high amount since the original levels were so high.” When at a restaurant, ask for sauces, condiments and dressings, which often contain high

levels of salt, on the side and use them sparingly. “Other ways to enjoy your food at a restaurant without sacrificing your favorite entrees is to split the meal with a friend, or eat half of your own meal and take the other half home,” Matusiak says. “It will not completely eliminate high levels of salt intake, but cutting back on large restaurant portions will decrease the sodium.”

Bailey says this is just one testament to the positive impact of the nationally ranked St. Louis Children’s Hospital, which annually provides treatments for more than 275,000 visits annually for patients from all 50 states and more than 80 countries. Whether kids have a broken bone or need a heart transplant, Bailey notes that Children’s, in conjunction with its partner, Washington University School of Medicine, can provide care for simple to the most complex medical issues across more than 50 pediatric specialties. “If you need to be in the hospital, it’s great to know you have this top-notch facility in your own backyard.”

antioxidants right into my body,” he says. Although juicing is healthy, Mankofsky and Becker agree that juice cleanses do not provide the entire range of nutrients needed for a healthy diet. Julie Pozzoli, a registered dietitian with St. Luke’s Hospital, adds that “juice cleanses just don’t provide the protein and fat profiles needed for healthy eating, and weight loss achieved on them is usually temporary.” In addition, she notes that juices made at home have a short shelf life and should be consumed within a couple days. “One downside is that if you use too many fruits, the juice may contain more sugar and calories than you realize,” Mankofsky says. “If you aren’t careful, these extra calories can lead to weight gain. The extra sugar also can raise blood sugar levels. If you use mostly vegetables and add in one fruit for flavor, there will be a lot less sugar and calories in the juice. Be sure and look up some good recipes before you start.”

colors and styles, and what’s ‘in’ in floral design— which can change instantaneously! Is it still the big white alba lily that’s ‘the star’? Are hydrangeas still the go-to flower? What’s up with David Austin roses? Are out-of-season peonies and huge sprays of cymbidium worth the price, for the impact they provide? I never want to be led by fashion, but I always must be aware of it. People of success in any business always must try to do better. Good taste means knowing what truly is elegant; also, what has genuine value. Good taste can be expensive, but it’s never extravagant. Knowing these things and trying to impart them to a client can be a daunting task. What is tasteful may have little to do with what is popular. My go-to for good taste always is ‘quiet quality’ and the knack for finely honed manners. I will keep an open mind, but somehow I think these two things will mean (for me) good taste.
