CONTENTS SOCIETY ATTENDEES TO THE FIRST-EVER COCHON 555 EVENT AT THE FOUR Seasons wore bracelets that said, Just like it always was, only nothing like it’s ever been. The sentiment captured what the recent foodie gathering was all about: celebrating heritage breed pigs and family farms. ‘Heritage breed’ is just a fancy way of distinguishing animals that have special bloodlines and are allowed to roam freely—and bit by bit, this practice of raising livestock is being resurrected. One such example is a family farm in Ste. Genevieve, the subject of our Green Gourmet column (see p. 90). When I spent summers at my grandfather’s farm, our daily sustenance truly was off the land. My lolo (tagalog for ‘grandpa’) raised pigs, chickens, duck and catfish; and the harvest included rice, root vegetables and leafy greens. During fiestas, the farmhands would slaughter and butcher the meat at sunrise; and by noon, everything would be simmering in pots and pans, overseen by an army of cooks. So while the concept of Cochon is nothing new, the inventiveness shown by today’s chefs is eye-opening. At the event, we sampled things like Fabrizio Schenardi’s Pork Belly Lolly-Pops and Kevin Willman’s Peach and Bacon Pie. Nothing like it’s ever been, indeed.

ON THE COVER: The Carousel Gala, supporting St. Louis Children’s Hospital and its Healthy Kids Express, takes place on Nov. 2 at The Ritz-Carlton. The program, funded entirely by donations, serves thousands of area children with preventive screenings, dental care, asthma treatment and more. Pictured on the cover: Rick and Tammy Walsh, Kevin Maher, Beth and Andy Condie, Dr. Jennifer and Troy Duncan. For more information, call Kayla Williams at 286-1134 or visit stlouischildrens.org. Cover photo by Sarah Crowder. THE STORY BEGINS ON PAGE 20. WE’RE SORRY: On page 12 of our Sept. 13 issue, we incorrectly identified Gateway to Hope co-founder Dr. Marlys Schuh, who is an oncologic surgeon. Co-founder Dr. David Caplin also is an oncologic surgeon. Also on that page, a Woman of Worth honoree should have been identified as Laura Cannon.

“Dominick Dunne’s Fatal Charms and The Mansions of Limbo . It’s a telling tome regarding love, scandal and murder of real people. I love Dunne’s open dialog regarding current and historical events. He was a wonderful bon vivant and writer and I regret that I never got to meet him before he died.”

Bob Paster “The Making of a Royal Romance: William, Kate, and Harry—A Look Behind the Palace Walls . It gives a glimpse into the lives of the future king and queen of England, demonstrating why their modern upbringing has made them into likeable, down-to-earth people, thus most likely preserving the monarchy.”

My unique and aggressive marketing approach works. Everything is selling! 2013 Market is on fire. Looking for new listings to sell NOW!

“I just finished The Memoirs of Cleopatra, an incredible book by Margaret George. Although it’s written like a memoir, it’s a historical novel. It was just fascinating— I’m a big history buff and although it was the size of the phone book, it only took about three weeks to read. Sometimes I get carried away and I can’t stop!”

Not many people can claim to have discovered a lost Irish medieval fortress, but for Saint Louis University history professor THOMAS FINAN, it’s all in a day’s work. Finan, who oversaw the successful excavations at Kilteasheen from 2004-2009, has discovered another major Gaelic settlement dating to the 12th and 13th centuries. The site, surveyed and studied as part of a research project involving SLU students, was considered a high-status center for the MacDermot lords who ruled over north county Roscommon throughout the Middle Ages. The project, funded by SLU’s College of Arts and Sciences, also involved the National University of Ireland-Galway.

Two Washington University School of Medicine physicians are the recipients of inaugural awards from SCOPE, a St. Louisbased national organization that engages the public on science and technology. DR. NANCY BARTLETT (Founder Award) and DR.

SCOPE, which stands for Science and Citizens Organized for Purpose & Exploration, works to deliver education, financial aid, internship and job information, and other resources at no cost to the community.

An architectural bike tour and an interactive photo contest are among the activities in the works for the third annual STL DESIGN WEEK. Created to celebrate the impact of creativity on the community, Design Week kicks off Sept. 23 with a discussion on the relationship between architectural design and art at the Contemporary Art Museum. “Great design has a profound impact on a community,” says STL Design Week chair MARGARET MCDONALD, principal at Arcturis. She says the idea is to broaden people’s definition of design and to encourage participation from designers and enthusiasts from all disciplines. Events taking place across St. Louis include a Sept. 27, art exhibition and auction of repurposed books at Central Library to benefit the St. Louis Library Foundation; and a Sept. 28 presentation by EAMES DEMETRIOS, the grandson of design icon CHARLES EAMES, at Webster University. For more info, visit stldesignweek.com.

Retired Rabbi MARK SHOOK is out with his first book, The Ezra Scroll. The compelling, fact-based thriller weaves 2,500 years of Jewish history, both ancient and modern, that centers on the creation of the Torah by the ancestors of the biblical priest Ezra. Shook, who retired after 23 years as senior rabbi at Temple Israel, currently serves as chaplain coordinator for St. Louis County Police and teaches Jewish philosophy as adjunct professor at Saint Louis University.

LIV ING ST. LOUIS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

One Child at a Time

ESPITE SERVING MORE THAN 15,000 children this year, St. Louis Children’s Hospital’s Healthy Kids Express is just scratching the surface of the need for health care among kids in the St. Louis area, says Greta ToddMoorhead, the hospital’s director of child health advocacy and outreach. “Most of the issues we’re addressing are public health crises for these kids and for the whole community,” she says. “There’s a need for a lot more than just our services, but we’re the first step.” Initiated in 1999, Healthy Kids Express has grown from one mobile health care unit to three: with one dedicated to preventive screenings and immunizations; a dental unit with a full-time dentist and three assistants; and a third devoted to asthma care. Some

of the children have only one interaction with the program, while others might require several followup visits, Todd-Moorhead notes. For example, with dental visits, “we see children with 10, 12 or 15 cavities,” Todd-Moorhead says. “Our kids are pretty sick, so we tend to see the same kids again.” She notes that 68 percent of kids on Medicaid did not see a dentist in the past year. “There are not enough dentists who take Medicaid in the city,” she notes. Todd-Moorhead adds that while the Healthy Kids Express provides vital care for kids who might otherwise go without, their services do not replace what a pediatrician does. “We’re not meant to be a pediatrician’s office—we’re meant to be a complement. We’re extra help for these families in need, to get them into the system and fill in the gap.” As the mobile units visit schools and the Healthy

Kids Express staff evaluates the program’s success, they continually strive to make their services more effective. “It’s heartbreaking how much need there is,” Todd-Moorhead says. “When we do screenings on the mobile unit, we record the height, weight and BMI, requiring the kids to take off their shoes. Many times these kids don’t have socks, or they only have one sock, or they have an adult tube sock they’ve cut in half to make two socks. So we provide socks for them quietly, in a separate room, so the other kids don’t make fun of them.” Continued on page 92

PAUL BROWN’S PERSONS OF INTEREST

JACK JACKSON

The Colonel Behind the Controls

spent a lot of time together on tarmacs and in airplanes. I worked with him on his political campaigns, and was in the co-pilot seat of his twin-engine Beechcraft Duke for one of his least glorious but more memorable aviation episodes: We were on a campaign swing around the state in 2006; and we were taking off from the Camdenton Airport at dusk when a deer ran across the runway. We were almost airborne, going well past 100 mpha, when the buck crashed into the nose and landing gear. We swerved 75 feet off the runway and skipped across a hillside. Somehow, Jack remained in control, kept the wheels on the ground and brought us safely to a stop. The plane was totaled. So to say I admire this man for his skills is an understatement. Saving my you-know-what JACK JACKSON that night was all in a day’s work for Jack. He’s been in life-ordeath situations many, many times. “I had been shot up, shot down and shot to pieces in helicopters and planes, and I’ve had to shoot my way out of a couple of tight spots,” he says. But there was one incident that is the most vivid: He was

flying a Harrier when it went out of control and into something called a ‘falling leaf’ spin. It had never happened to anyone in a Harrier before, but Jackson pulled out of it and saved the plane and himself an instant before it would have crashed. As for his political career, it never got the traction it needed, and Jackson thinks it was mainly because he wasn’t a career politician and refused to fall in lock-step with the party power-brokers. He’s still getting prodded to run for office again and concedes he’ll “never say never, but it would take a lot.” His real passion these days is for the veterans and trying to make sure they get all the honor and respect they deserve—something his Vietnam War generation received very little of back then. “When we got home we weren’t treated very well—everybody knows that,” he says. “So I want to do what I can to make sure that no veteran is treated the way we were.” It’s still obvious to me that Colonel Jack Jackson is ready for another mission—it’s a beautiful day for flying.

“MY MISSION NOW IS TO DO WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP OUR VETERANS. I CONSIDER THEM A NATIONAL TREASURE.”

A native St. Louisan, Brown is a lifelong journalist, and previously served as a broadcaster for KMOX and KTRS radios and ABC 30. His Paul Brown Media specializes in public and media relations.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

PHOTO BY SARAH CROWDER

T’S A CRYSTAL CLEAR DAY AT SPIRIT OF ST. Louis Airport, and Jack Jackson just can’t wait to get back up in the sky. Jackson’s always ready for a mission: He started flying airplanes in July of 1967; and since then, he has logged more than 16,000 take-offs and landings. A huge number of those sorties came at the controls of military aircraft, with hundreds of them being combat missions in Vietnam. Jackson was a full bird colonel in the Marines and ended his highly decorated military career with dozens of awards and medals for courage, bravery and valor in combat. After Vietnam, he played an even more significant role in the development of America’s birds of war as a test pilot at McDonnell-Douglas, and then Boeing. The Colonel flew virtually every type of aircraft in the US military arsenal, and even a few captured enemy planes. Jackson’s legendary aviation status is most closely associated with the AV-8B Harrier Jump Jet. Most of us know it as the fighter jet that can hover, land straight up and down, and then fly at near-supersonic speed. Jackson logged an incredible 5,500 flight hours in the cockpit of Harriers—a record that likely will never be broken. He delivered the very first Harrier built in St. Louis in 1980; and before he retired as Boeing’s chief test pilot, he delivered the very last one ever built in 2004. Jackson’s mission continued in politics as a Missouri State Representative, and he took a few turns down some campaign roads. His journey finally led him to his ongoing charge of serving the needs of military veterans. “My mission now is to do whatever I can to help our veterans. I consider them a national treasure.” He and I are walking through a hangar among the private jets he now flies. At 70, he’s a soughtafter corporate pilot, but he’s also spent hours flying wounded combat vets home from hospitals or to more medical treatment. He has volunteered for the Veterans Airlift Command and Lifeline; and if for some reason he can’t get a wounded warrior transported on a donated corporate jet, he’s been known to fly vets wherever they need and pick up the costs himself. “I’ve flown some double and triple amputees, picking them up in Washington, D.C., and flying them home—they have tremendously positive attitudes.” Out on the tarmac, the Colonel and I continue to talk while he looks up at a perfectly blue sky. “I want to make people aware that even though someone has lost both their legs, they can still contribute,” he stresses. “All they want to do is go home, hug their kids and their wives, then get a job and contribute—and it’s our job to make that happen.” In the spirit of full disclosure, Jack and I have

Wedding Wisdom

Wedding-Day Confidence

By John Sullivan

hat’s the secret to helping a bride feel the most confident, the most beautiful and the happiest on her wedding day? Here are some tips I have learned from weddings over the years: 1. Focus on the love you share with your groom. If you truly love your soon-to-be husband, you cannot experience anxiety at the same time. One will cancel out the other. 2. Shake your arms and feel stress go out your fingertips—physical movement is freeing and relieves stress. 3. Think of yourself as the most fabulous bride to ever walk down the aisle—and the truth is, at that moment, you are, you truly are. 4. As you prepare to walk, grab your father’s arm and hold on firmly to reassure him that you are ready for this life-changing rite of passage. 5. Another important thing: Smile! A smile lights up your face, it will be a huge relief to your groom

and the serotonins released by smiling will help you in saying your vows strongly and confidently. 6. Give your father that at-the-altar kiss with all due affection. And then when you turn to your groom, think of something meaningful to whisper to him, like You make me happy, I love you or You look so handsome, as you proceed to the altar. This will revitalize you both. 7. Speak up with confidence. Keep your voice clear and strong. Your voice reveals your emotions, and a joyful, confident tone will say it all. 8. Be friendly with everyone at the reception. Delight in the fact that everyone has come to celebrate your special day. Introduce your groom to anyone he may not know, and compliment him often. When meeting family and friends of the groom for the first time, express your desire to get to know them better. 9. Have fun, it’s a party! Never drink too much and never lose sight of the fact that a bride should

Think of yourself as the most fabulous bride to ever walk down the aisle—and the truth is, at that moment, you are, you truly are. be elegant. Being carefree and confident does not equate with vulgar actions. Have a good time, but remember all eyes are on you. 10. Look at your groom throughout the reception. This is the loving partner you are going to share your life with—what could be a bigger confidence boost? It’s not rocket science, but for the most important day in your life, these tips may help you enjoy and remember it in every way.

Introducing the newlyweds

Jill Suzanne Hentz & James Anthony Moise II By Denise Kruse

Suzanne and Tony were introduced by mutual friends; and almost immediately, both realized that this would be something special. “I knew right away,” Tony recalls. Suzanne agrees, “I’ve never been treated so thoughtfully and respectfully, and that has never changed!” Tony proposed over a New Year’s Eve dinner at Bernardus Vineyard & Lodge in Carmel Valley, Calif. With a mutual love of wine and California, the venue was the perfect spot for their engagement and became the obvious choice for their wedding ceremony and reception. Bernardus, in its own way, had played a role in the couple’s story, as it had become a nostalgic part of each trip the couple had taken to California together The couple was married on July 5 in an intimate ceremony the groom describes as “perfect.” The bride carried a 1959 lucky penny from her mother-in-law in her Christian Louboutin pumps, significant because it also paid homage to the year the groom’s parents were wed. Suzanne also wore her maternal grandmother’s diamond brooch. “Everyone was crying tears of joy for us during our wedding ceremony, including our [officiate],” Suzanne recalls. “It was a moment I will never forget!” The couple will honeymoon this winter, spending two weeks in a private bungalow at the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora. Suzanne and Tony reside in Ladue. Jill Suzanne Hentz is the daughter of Mr. Charles Hopkins of Lake St. Louis. She is a registered representative at UBS Financial Services. James Anthony Moise II is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Moise of Lancaster, Calif. He is vice president and general manager at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE

Prince The Little

BY ROBERT PASTER

HE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY stay the same. With the birth (and upcoming christening) of Prince George Alexander Louis, the line of succession for the British monarchy extends to a fourth generation. The Prince of Cambridge is now third in line to the throne after his grandfather, Prince Charles, and his father, Prince William. He booted his Uncle Harry to fourth. What could have been groundbreaking—but wasn’t—was a change in the law of succession passed by Parliament in 2011 that guaranteed that the first child of Prince William would become the ruling (regent) king or queen: This child was going to be third in line to the throne regardless of sex. The difference is, under the old law, had this baby been a girl, she could have been surpassed in the line of succession by a later-born brother. Since George is a boy, he’s third under either law—and will stay so—thus, things stay the same this time. Interestingly, primogeniture, or the practice of the oldest male inheriting a nobleman’s entire estate, continues for dukes and earls and other landed gentry. More important, from a historical perspective, is the public’s reaction to Prince George and the monarchy in general; and thus, the practical issue of whether the monarchy will continue at all. When I was a student in England in the late ’80s, most of my peers were not fans of the royals, with some advocating the termination of the monarchical system in Britain. That sentiment probably reached its peak after the death of Princess Diana, ‘the people’s princess,’ whom the public considered as someone who had been poorly treated by the royal family. Since then, however, the royal family, thanks in large part to Diana’s sons, has rehabilitated itself and is now enjoying great popularity. The differences between the stuffy and stiff Prince Charles and Prince William, who is relaxed and comes across as a real human being, are tremendous. Just look at the photos of Charles taking William home from the hospital, and William taking George home from the same hospital. Charles in 1982 is in a suit and tie, and gets into a chauffeured station wagon to be driven back to the palace. Compare that with William in 2013, coming out in

801 N 2nd St, St Charles, MO 63301 rolled-up shirt sleeves, putting George in his car seat in the back of a Range Rover, and then driving his family back to the palace himself. It may seem trivial, but I think it speaks volumes about how different Charles and William are, and how much more in touch with the real world William is. As I noted after Kate and William’s wedding, I credit Princess Diana for William’s upbringing. She made him queue up at McDonald’s, showed him homeless people on London’s streets and sick people in hospitals, and insisted that he go to school with children his age. But for this humanizing of the royal family, I think their future would be a lot less certain than it appears to be today. Looking forward, I would guess that William and Kate will try to give George as ordinary a childhood as possible under the circumstances. George definitely will have a nanny or two, but William and Kate have hinted that they will be very involved, hands-on parents. George has the added advantage of having Kate’s parents as his other grandparents: The Middletons appear to be a very down-to-earth, albeit upper-middle-class English family whose influence should help keep George grounded very well, indeed. It also won’t hurt for him to see that his father had a real job as a search and rescue helicopter pilot for the Royal Air Force. Of course, with Aunt Pippa and Uncle Harry involved, George will have plenty of opportunity for mischief and fun in his privileged life, as well. So it appears the British monarchy is firmly entrenched and ready to face the future with future kings who are relatable, likeable and popular. Look for significant changes after Charles reigns; which he may not do for some time, considering his mother is 87 and in good health. Charles also probably will maintain the status quo; but count on William and then George to bring the monarchy more into step with modern times—when their time comes.

Be Our Guest

By Julia Christensen

t seems everyone is becoming a foodie, notes Butler’s Pantry owner Richard Nix Jr. And while a room full of people with similar interests could make for great conversation, a house filled with food experts might leave a host or hostess anxious. To fix this problem, and many others, Nix recommends allowing the professionals to assist you during your hours of entertaining guests. Having your party catered doesn’t mean skimping on freshly made or homemade food. “One of the things we’re focused on is trying to produce as much inside the home as possible,” Nix says. “The days of a truck pulling up and unloading prepared food are disappearing.” If this benefits the party in no other way, Nix notes it fills the home with cooking smells—an appropriate welcome sign to guests. While entertaining, Nix recommends you

utilize your entire home. “Whether you’re sitting at a served dinner or up-and-cocktailing, I like to move dessert out of the dining room,” Nix explains. “Having people adjourn to the living room for coffee and dessert service changes the venue, and it brings different conversation. The same works if the party grows; think about putting dessert and coffee somewhere unusual—such as on your terrace with a rolling fire.” “I think people underestimate what goes into a party of 50 people—even a party of 20 people can be intimidating,” explains Sarah Glass, director of sales and catering. “We like to walk in and let the host be a guest at their own party.” Prior to the event, Glass says a Butler’s Pantry team member can stop by the home to look at the layout, kitchen facilities and flow. She says set-up can often happen shortly before the event, or— should the host or hostess prefer—even earlier. “A

lot of clients want to see the vision before they need to get ready,” Glass says. As opposed to full themes, Nix advises having an element of interest to your party, such as a bubbly bar or bourbon tasting. Another aspect your guests will surely notice? Utilizing local products. “We want to keep the dollars in St. Louis, so we’re always scouring for the local artisans, the local farmers and the local producers,” Nix says. “It could be florals, it could be linens—it’s not just about tomatoes and basil, it’s every aspect. Even some of the alcohol that we’re using is crafted here in the region.” With professional assistance, Nix says hosts and hostesses can enjoy these party aspects much like the guests. “More and more, there are twoincome families. Mom works hard, as does dad. Whether it’s eight or 80 people at your house, you want to be able to sit down and enjoy the evening.”

Other festive additions included gunmetal metallic plates and jewel-toned napkins. •Artificial Options.

•Weather ready. “Don’t let the weather scare you,” Fogerty says. “You can always incorporate fun things for cold weather. You can fill your backyard with blankets and hay bales, and encourage snuggling around the fire.” •Be natural. “Incorporate elements of nature. It’s been done before, but I think you can incorporate them with a new twist,” she says, explaining leaf name cards as a possible option. She also notes that pumpkins decorated with metallic pushpins can be used to spell messages or names in a festive way. •Theme away. “People shy away from theme parties, but there are a lot of themes you can do that don’t mean people need to dress in theme or you need to decorate your house.” This time of year, she recommends a football-themed event.

Pursuit of Justice PHOTO BY SARAH CROWDER

By Brittany Nay

One goal inspired Sam and Susan Hais to go to law school: justice. Decades later, that same goal remains the driving force of their law firm, Hais, Hais, Goldberger & Lambson. “What really matters to us is achieving the Holy Grail in the law field, which is justice,” Sam says. “We believe justice is a right, not a privilege.” Founded by Susan Hais more than 30 years ago, the firm continues to seek justice for clients in one area of focus: family law. “We are not a module in a large law firm. Family law is what we do,” she explains. “We know the law very specifically as it relates to domestic relations, so we think we can offer more because that’s all we do.” Seeking justice for clients—one family at a time—is the practice’s hallmark. From the veteran attorneys leading the firm to the receptionist who

greets clients, the company has a family-centric approach. “In family law, you have clients calling at odd times and they’re upset, and there are kids around. Everyone at our practice has experience with all of that,” Susan says. And the firm’s attorneys know every client and case is different. “The important thing is to be creative because each case is very unique and personal,” Susan says. “I ask clients, If you could really have it the way you would want it, how would it be and how would you want me to get there? We are trying to do right by them, and I think that’s why our clients are so appreciative.” Clients also benefit from having a husband-andwife team on their side. Sam and Susan, who both graduated from Saint Louis University School of Law, have complementary skill sets. Married for 34

Do the Current Laws On Cohabitation and Maintenance Make Sense?

In an article written by Diane L. Danois, J.D., she poses the question, “Under what scenario is it fair or equitable to force the alimony obligation in the face of overwhelming evidence of cohabitation?” Danois answers her own question by asking additional ones: “In the face of a finding of cohabitation, under what circumstance should the continuation of alimony (maintenance) be appropriate? Under what circumstance should it be deemed inequitable or inappropriate?” Due to the fact that every family law situation is unique, every issue should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. It is difficult to predict how a judge may rule on a motion to terminate maintenance on the basis of cohabitation. For instance: -Some states may completely terminate maintenance upon finding that the recipient spouse is found

Cohabitation laws vary from jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction. Maintenance or alimony may either be reduced, terminated, or remain completely unaffected even upon finding that the recipient former spouse is cohabitating with a new partner, depending on whereheorshelivesorwherethedivorcetookplace.

years and in practice together for 12 years, the Haises know how to relate to the family and law sides of each client’s case. Susan’s more than three decades of experience in domestic relations law and Sam’s 26 years as a judge—10 of which were in family court— combine to give clients better outcomes. And that successful track record is building on itself, as most of the firm’s clients are referrals from former satisfied clients, Susan notes. “It makes me feel good, like we did do the right thing, and we are still practicing the way we want to practice.”

to be cohabitating, regardless if the economic need has been impacted by the cohabitation. -Some states may reduce or terminate maintenance only if the recipients spouse’s need for financial support has significantly decreased. -Some states may ignore the fact that a recipient spouse is cohabitating, allowing maintenance to not be affected whatsoever. Given the wide disparity of treatment from stateto-state, do you find it troubling? Surprisingly in some cases, maintenance may continue even after the maintenance recipient remarries? Spousal support is complicated and multi-faceted, often causing high emotions, hostility and resentment. Spousal support is not intended to be punitive as it was in the past, but rather, the spirit of it is designed to provide the recipient spouse with enough financial aid to live separately from the former spouse… for a certain period of time. That duration of time may be temporary or may be permanent, depending on the circumstances. Keeping this in mind, wouldn’t it make sense that maintenance should be adjusted when the recipient spouse has another source of income?

While the use of cell tower location data offers evidence to either support or refute cohabitation claims for the termination of maintenance, in the end, will it affect your case? This information is leveraged to determine the whereabouts of a person to prove that he or she is in a cohabiting relationship. What will be the final outcome? · Should the finding of a cohabitating relationship have an effect on the obligation of spousal support? · Is it fair that support continues if the recipient spouse is financially supported by another relationship? Wouldn’t that be double-dipping? · Should there be a specific provision relating to the definition and effects of cohabitation be part of every final judgment or settlement agreement? Stange Law Firm, PC encounters questions like these every day as it helps both male and female clients in the area of spousal support. Our attorneys treat every case based on its merits, seeking to find what is “fair” and equitable.

My Law School Experience By Brittany Nay

tticus Finch, Perry Mason and Daniel Kaffee may have inspired many a young man and woman to become a lawyer. But these local attorneys give us the verdict on what it was like to take the leap into the legal field and attend law school—minus the script.

Jennifer Growe-Soshnik Growe Eisen Karlen

Jay Kanzler Witzel, Kanzler, Dimmitt, Kenney & Kanzler I wanted to attend law school based upon what I saw on television—primarily from Perry Mason and the movie The Paper Chase. Somebody at CBS owes me an apology because the practice of law is nothing like Perry Mason did it on the show. In 22 years, not a single courtroom confession. But law school at Saint Louis University had similarities to The Paper Chase. First-year classes were held in big classrooms with stadium seating looking down upon the professor. And my contracts professor, Vincent Immel, had all of the presence and gravitas of professor Kingsfield, played by John Houseman in the movie. Professor Immel’s reputation for grilling students on the fine points of contract law was larger than life. Yet, he was beloved by the students. Each day, it would be another student’s turn to ‘be up’ in class, and to be engaged by Immel in a didactic exercise for which the student was almost always at a disadvantage. The trepidation always was worse than the actual encounter, but the learning was undeniable. Professor Immel stands out for me as the embodiment of a SLU Law School experience—a first-class education taught by professors that often became my friends and role models as a practicing lawyer.

I attended Washington University School of Law and graduated in 2007. I absolutely loved my time in law school. The curriculum was challenging, the faculty was inspiring and the social life was plentiful. I studied extremely hard; yet, my greatest growth as a student was definitely obtained outside of the library. WU Law does an exceptional job of providing extracurricular opportunities for students that are geared toward practical legal experience, leadership and social development. I dabbled in several of these opportunities, and ultimately, by my third year, was spending quite a bit of ‘post-study’ time working on the editorial board of The Washington University Journal of Law & Policy. I would encourage any law student to take advantage of these opportunities, as it will make your experiences, both during and after law school, much more worthwhile. I graduated from law school prepared and confident, with lifelong friendships, a strong network of classmates in the local legal community, and with a job that I was extremely proud to have been offered.

Cary Mogerman Zerman & Mogerman I attended Washington University School of Law in the early 1980s. It was a time when people opened real law books maintained on rows of

shelves you had to walk over to; hired real typists to type notes and briefs, which were originally written in longhand; and made phone calls from dedicated spaces called ‘telephone booths.’ You can probably see these on the History Channel. I was lucky to have learned from some very gifted, capable and patient law professors, who succeeded in teaching me a great deal despite my best efforts to resist them. Many of these professors are still teaching today. It is nice to practice in the same city in which I went to law school because many of my professional colleagues in St. Louis learned from many of the same professors as I, and we share these common bonds and experiences. I learned discipline, diligence and intellectual honesty are critical attributes for any lawyer in any field, and I learned a lot about all three at Washington University School of Law.

Amy Gunn The Simon Law Firm I drew professor Vince Immel for contracts. At Saint Louis University School of Law, Immel was a legend for his ‘shotgun’ approach to calling on students. The humiliation suffered by those who failed to do the reading, also legendary. Needless to say, I was rethinking the entire law school decision. When the time finally came, however, my guardian angel was on duty because I didn’t make a fool of myself! It also might have been attributable to the many hours of studying I had done. The lesson: Preparation is key. Many of us who survived Immel’s classes fancy ourselves as having earned a badge of honor. The real tribute, of course, goes to Immel for teaching young law students the value of work ethic, and perhaps, a little bit of fear and humility. As lawyers, we all hold our clients’ businesses, livelihood and wellbeing in our hands. Immel knew to be ready for that responsibility, we needed to learn early on the importance of being prepared. For that, I am grateful.

Intellectual Property

Put A Lock On It By Brittany Nay

The Coca-Cola formula. The Nike swoosh. The NBC chimes. Intellectual property (IP) is all around us. And the law can protect it through patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, trade dress and right to publicity. But as the nation moves toward an information economy—where information is an intangible asset—the everexpanding IP field is becoming more vulnerable. “Because of the Internet, it is so easy to obtain others’ IP,” notes Emmett McAuliffe of Riezman Berger. Bernard Gerdelman at Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal echoes that IP infringement is increasingly common. The major industries where IP cases arise are manufacturing, technology and commerce. For example, Getty Images often has to bring cases against unauthorized copying of its online photos, Gerdelman says. And St. Louis Cardinals great Mark McGwire successfully sued under the right of publicity to have bats with his counterfeit signature removed from commercial circulation, he adds. When it comes to companies, IP theft can be devastating, McAuliffe says. For example, an employee could take a former employer’s customer list upon his exit, or two business partners could split without establishing ownership of trade secrets. “Ownership of solid IP really is a business’ way of ensuring its sweat equity won’t be siphoned off by competitors intentionally or unintentionally,” McAuliffe notes. But Gerdelman and McAuliffe say businesses can put up a good defense by taking these precautionary steps: • Protect your company’s IP through registration of a patent, copyright or trademark. • For trade secrets, employees should be required to sign a confidentiality agreement, IP should be shielded by passwords, confidential documents should be marked accordingly and have a limited circulation, and, where necessary, areas of the business’ facilities should have a badge entry system. McAuliffe notes that protecting your IP does not extend to ideas themselves. “You can’t lock up an idea.” That idea has to materialize into a product or service before it can be protected by law. But once you have an original creation, McAuliffe says an IP lawyer can help with filing the appropriate protective applications with the federal government. “We can advise you if you have a business that is going to have a large number of copyrights of trademarks.” The registration process for patents can take years, while trademarks typically take six to nine months and copyrights take three to six months. “The good news is your priority date is the filing date, not the date the registration is granted,” McAuliffe notes. “So it’s important to file as soon as possible. Otherwise you are a sitting duck for someone to steal your IP.”

Paternity: The Importance of Establishing a Legal Father

Paternity Matters By Brittany Nay

he birth of a baby is one of the happiest days in parents’ lives. But if the child’s mother and father are not married, it can cloud the situation legally. In the case of married parents, the husband automatically is considered to be the father of a child born during the marriage. However, children of unmarried parents have no legal father unless paternity is established. With out-of-wedlock births rising to 40 percent in recent years, local attorneys are undertaking an increasing load of paternity cases. “More and more people are not getting married, but still having kids,” says Kirk Stange of Stange Law Firm. Local attorneys agree that establishing paternity is an important step in the well-being of children and their parents. Children can benefit medically, financially and emotionally, Stange notes, from gaining health insurance and child support to developing meaningful relationships with their fathers. “It allows fathers to be an equal decision-maker in kids’ lives.” The father will have a say in major life issues, Stange continues, such as where the child will reside and his or her medical care, education and religion. A man must take specific steps in order to establish himself as the legal father of his child. “Dads really do need to know what they can do to be active parts in kids’ lives,” Stange says. And Craig Kallen of Kallen Law Firm notes that the father’s name on his child’s birth certificate does not equal legal rights. Richard Eisen of Growe Eisen Karlen outlines the necessary steps of a typical paternity case for clients: • Acquire an attorney experienced in the specific area of paternity cases. • File a paternity case in the circuit or family court where the mother and child or father resides. • Participate in a paternity test if it is in question. • Establish custody rights and a parenting plan. Much like divorce cases, paternity cases can last three to four months if parents reach a compromise, or take up to a year or more if contested, Eisen adds. The good news is paternity cases typically result in joint legal custody, Kallen says. “In most cases, there is still a presumption that is in best interest of the child.” And the even better news, Kallen continues, is that St. Louis-area courts are incredibly receptive to dads wanting frequent time with their kids. “My advice is to go ahead and file as soon as a child is born—it is good for both parents and the children. Dads filing paternity cases these days are in really good shape, and they are getting lot of time with their kids.”

YOUR NEXT DOCTOR’S VISIT

Keep Track & Stay Informed BY CONNIE MITCHELL

Whether it’s an annual check-up, your child’s sports physical or an appointment to discuss a pressing health concern, you need to make the most of your doctor’s appointments. A little preparation and a few simple strategies will help you achieve that. First, gather important information in advance and have it ready. Everyone should spend some time compiling a personal health record (PHR) that includes family, medical and immunization history, allergies, current medications, test and lab results, and a list of hospitalizations, surgeries and procedures, advises Julie Howe, a Saint Louis University instructor of health informatics and information management. Not only does the PHR help the patient keep track of all health issues, but it can be an important document for spouses or caregivers should they need to provide information on a patient’s behalf. “If the individual is seeing clinicians within the same health system (e.g., BJC, SSM Healthcare, Mercy, etc.), the clinicians can access all patient information through their electronic health record system,” Howe says. “But, if patients are seeing clinicians among various

systems, the PHR will allow the patient to accurately convey information to each treating provider.” Physicians who use electronic medical records (currently less than half of all physicians nationwide) can provide a hard copy of the notes from a visit or procedure, which can be added to the PHR. The American Academy of Family Physicians offers detailed suggestions and a basic PHR template by searching for ‘health journal’ at familydoctor.org. “Because it’s easy to get distracted during a doctor’s visit, write down information about why you are going to the doctor to keep you on task. Include symptoms, questions, medication refills needed, etc. Remember, the physician will not have time to answer questions about all your health issues if you called for an appointment for flu symptoms,” Howe says. If you are unable to get all your questions answered in one visit, ask when you can follow up and be prepared to make another appointment. If they are not already part of a PHR, compile and bring medical records from your visits with other physicians, including records of lab work, immunizations, X-rays, etc., suggests Dr. Divya Chauhan, a family physician at Creve Coeur Family Medicine

and on staff at St. Luke’s Hospital. Also create a complete medication list, including dosage of all prescriptions along with any herbal or over-thecounter medications you take, and indicate whether you have any medication or seasonal allergies. “For pediatric visits, have the child describe the symptoms, if possible,” Howe adds. “Make sure that immunization and school forms, etc., that need to be completed are brought along.” When you are receiving information from your doctor, it’s perfectly acceptable to jot down notes during the visit, Howe says. Recording the visit with a smartphone or other recording device allows patients to listen again later, when they are more relaxed and less apt to forget details. Bringing a friend or family member can serve as a second set of ears and note-taker. Continued on page 92

OBESITY AS A DISEASE

A Growing PROBLEM

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

OTHING ABOUT THE DISCUSSION OF obesity is simple, according to Katie Thompson, a primary therapist with Castlewood Treatment Center for Eating Disorders. And the American Medical Association’s (AMA) recent decision to recognize obesity as a disease—not just a condition that causes disease—complicates matters even more. In fact, the AMA’s June ruling was controversial among the organization’s own ranks. The AMA Council on Science and Public Health, after reviewing scientific evidence and debating the issue, recommended against the disease designation. The council expressed concern that using body mass index (BMI) as the primary diagnostic indicator is overly simplistic. However, the AMA House of Delegates rejected the council’s concerns, voting for recognition of the disease designation. “There are many conditions, diseases, syndromes, etc., with ICD-9 codes (the diagnostic codes used by physicians). Obesity has been no different. Having the AMA and other professional medical societies and organizations publicly recognize it means there now will be an emphasis on obesity regarding its diagnosis and proper treatment,” says Dr. Mario Morales, medical director and weight-loss surgeon for SSM Weight-Loss Institute. It is known that obesity contributes to a range of diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. These diseases have long been diagnosed and treated through approved and accepted medical interventions. If obesity itself becomes the focus of diagnostic and medical intervention, even absent the complications and diseases associated with it, “at the physician-to-patient level, it means that an obese patient now will be told that they have the disease of obesity and a formal treatment plan will be established,” Morales says, noting that the designation also will help obesity to come out of the shadows of being viewed as a personal discipline flaw and begin to be seen more as a complicated disease process that is multi-factorial, involving physiology, genetics and social influences. In addition, “It also makes it more difficult for insurers to hold coverage or avoid providing treatment options to obese individuals,” Morales says. “And it’s expected that there will be increased resources dedicated to advancing diagnostics

SEPTEMBER 20, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

and treatment interventions in the academic and private sectors.” Despite this potential, Thompson sees possible downsides to focusing solely on reducing BMI as the ‘cure’ for obesity. “When the focus is on reducing body mass and weight rather than on healthy living, balanced food choices and the incorporation of appropriate movement, research has shown that individuals will feel pressured to use unhealthy means to reduce body weight such as restriction,” she says. “In the long run, restrictive food choices in individuals attempting to control body weight often will lead to compulsive overeating and bingeeating behaviors.” Thompson adds that by bringing even more attention to obese individuals as ‘sick,’ there may be an increased potential for eating disorders to develop based on negative self-image and subsequent extreme attempts to control weight. “The focus needs to shift from weight loss as a means to increase health to a focus on improving healthy behaviors and reducing unhealthy behaviors to improve overall and long-term health,” she says. Despite the arguments over semantics and classifications, experts agree that everyone should strive for a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced, moderate diet and regular exercise. When adhered to on a regular basis, these behaviors will help individuals achieve and maintain healthy weight and reduce risk of the many conditions associated with obesity. And that’s the goal, no matter what you call it.

Obesity as Disease? Two Points of View: Katie Thompson Castlewood Treatment Center With weight loss as the main approach historically of treating obesity, if more resources and efforts will be placed on the traditional approach to treating it, then it is safe to say that categorizing obesity as a disease with the end goal of reducing obesity will not be achieved in the traditional model. Focusing solely on weight reduction as a means to treat obesity is limiting and damaging. Reducing BMI is not a single indicator of health; and unfortunately, this is often the goal of obesity treatment—losing weight and reducing BMI. When the focus is on reducing body mass and weight rather than on healthy living, balanced food choices and the incorporation of appropriate movement, research has shown that individuals will feel pressured to use unhealthy means to reduce body weight such as restriction. In the long run, restrictive food choices in individuals attempting to control body weight often will lead to compulsive overeating and binge-eating behaviors. Individuals also feel increased levels of weight stigma or ‘fat shaming,’ which research has shown actually motivates individuals to engage in dangerous weight-loss methods such as restriction and compensatory behaviors. Weight-loss models also are dangerous in that the focus often is aligned with the goals of an eating disorder. The focus needs to shift from weight loss to supporting healthy behaviors to improve health.

Dr. Mario Morales SSM Weight-Loss Institute There are many conditions, diseases, syndromes, etc. with ICD-9 codes. Obesity has been no different. Having the AMA and other professional medical societies/organizations publicly recognize it means there now will be an emphasis on obesity regarding its diagnosis and proper treatment. It is expected that obesity will come out of the ‘shadows’ of being viewed as a personal discipline flaw and more along the lines of a complicated disease process that is multi-factorial, involving physiology, genetics and social influences. Because it now is considered to be a legitimate disease, it cannot be ignored by physicians and has to be addressed properly. It also makes it more difficult for insurers to hold coverage or avoid providing treatment options to obese individuals. At the physician-to-patient level, it means that an obese patient now will be told that they have the disease of obesity and a formal treatment plan will be established. Obesity is not simply a result of personal decision-making and practice. It is a complex disease that is influenced significantly by individual physiology, socioeconomic conditions and driven by genetics. It should be appropriately diagnosed and aggressively treated.

What inspires you? I am inspired by color, pattern and texture. I am truly a fabric person. I love a space with many layers—plush pillows, colorful artwork, beautiful lamps and collectibles, all grounded by a fabulous rug and tasteful furniture—that’s my dream room. What is your dream project? My dream project would be in a big, beautiful old house that has been lovingly restored. The clients would have the same taste as I do, and their budget would be unlimited. Since that never happens, I enjoy working with nice people who have great taste. They should aspire for their home to be a beautiful place where they are comfortable and enjoy receiving guests.

Which room is your favorite to design? I most enjoy designing master bedrooms. Whatever the color palette, softer shades are most often used in a master bedroom. Fabrics also are in softer patterns and colors. This is the one room in a house that can be a completely different style from the rest of the house—it speaks of romance. How do you know when a room is complete? A room is complete when a designer has accomplished the dream that his client originally had for the space—or better yet, has exceeded his client’s expectations. When the client enters the room for the first time, brings her hands to her mouth with her eyes wide open and just smiles, you know you have completed the room.

How do you know when a room is complete? You have finished a room when you feel happy and comfortable in the space at that time…but, I also feel that a space is constantly evolving, and therefore is never really complete. What is your dream project? To be honest, my dream project would be one that has no design boundaries, allows me a complete creative license and has an unlimited budget!

am always amazed at people who can have a successful career for many years and then quite unexpectedly reinvent themselves in what appears to be an unrelated field. Could you imagine that a couple who owned and ran a biotech company for many years would become high-end property developers? Liz and Ron Gingerich are that couple. They took their problem-solving skills to a new level, the 17th to be exact, designing and executing the finish of one of the penthouses at Maryland Walk. Attention to detail is clearly shown in all aspects of this project. For the Gingeriches, the interesting part of what they do is being able to recreate architectural elements that they love at a very high craftsman-skill level for those who can truly appreciate them. Having already completed a penthouse in The Crescent, as well as partially finishing another at Maryland Walk, design execution is becoming their habit, not just their joy. A well-traveled couple (they cruised around the world for their honeymoon), they have taken note of architectural designs and details during their excursions and figured out how to painstakingly incorporate the appropriate elements in the

that is the access to the study, master suite, guest room, media room and powder room. This centuries-old architectural detail rarely is found in newer construction. The living areas and kitchen have trellised coffered ceilings that visually expand the eye to the expansive windows overlooking the views to the west and north. The kitchen can best be described as bespoke. The cabinetry is so well detailed, you almost forget you are in a kitchen. Strategically placed mirrored elements on cabinets reflect the expansive views of the city. Meanwhile master bedroom has one of the most interesting cove ceilings I have ever encountered. Almost pillow-shaped, this detail adds a soft element to a square room. The master bath is a symphony of detail in subtle shades of cream and grey, with carrera marble designs that both stun and relax. The patterned floors speak quietly to the visitor. Whether hardwoods, carpeting or stone, the patterns of the floor create warmth and intrigue. As with any well-designed space, texture is a major component in the equation of the finished space. The palette is neutral for several reasons, most importantly among them: The architecture really takes the lead in this space when the visitor is not overwhelmed by strong colors. This residence currently is on the market, and is listed through Dielmann Sothebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Realty.

ROM THE FOOD TO THE AMENITIES, time spent at a private club is truly an experience. Since 1964, the Saint Louis Club has been providing that type of sophistication to members midst its French-inspired décor—much of which was recently updated, while maintaining its traditional elegance. Located in Clayton’s Pierre Laclede Center, the Club features breathtaking views of St. Louis. This was taken into consideration during the 16th floor remodeling process, as the ballroom’s partial walls were hollowed to leave architecturally interesting columns and unobstructed sightlines. “There is no bad seat in the house now,” says Club GM Mike Brady. Behind the project was design firm Architextures and Musick Construction Company, as well as Saint Louis Club Construction Committee members Brady, controller Diana Likely, and board member Lee Murray. “It had been 25 years since the last major Continued on page 79

So from the lobby to the powder room, the vast majority of the floor has been completely redone, including plenty of new carpeting, drapery, wall coverings and the like. Both the men’s and women’s restrooms were completely redesigned, and the former telephone booth was replaced with a coatroom. Refrigeration was added behind the bar area in the lounge, while the wrought-iron fencing and greenery were removed from the garden foyer, which now features an open and airy feel. New sliding French doors also were added to lower any sound transfer from room to room. “I think we’re going to get a very positive reaction when it’s all put together,” says Murray. “It’s going to be absolutely lovely.” Members may breathe easily, as the ever-popular Lewis and Clark room still maintains its familiar red motif, per members’ requests.

Tree of My Dreams By Pat Raven, Ph.D. and Julie Hess

A year to recover If your trees and shrubs have not leafed out in a full and healthy way, they might never recover from last year’s drought. Now is a good time to make an honest assessment of the condition of your trees. If branches failed to leaf out at all or have turned to autumn glory too soon, the chainsaw may be the only remedy. With the mild temperatures and excellent rainfall of this summer, any tree that could recover already has made marked improvement. If not, now would be a good time to consult with a certified arborist. People with this specialized training also have practical field experience on judging the health of trees and how to treat them.

New Plantings If a vacancy in your landscape opens up, use it as a new planting opportunity and select the replacement tree of your dreams. When the nasty silver maple started leaning sharply toward the street, we replaced it with two ginkgos, a stately Asian tree that is often cultivated. The leaves resemble those of the maidenhair fern, with parallel veins fanning out from the base. Ginkgos, which grow slowly, offer a soft sea-green foliage in the early spring. They richen to a captivating emerald for the summer and a heart-arresting solid butter yellow in the late autumn. Former St. Louisan and U.S. Poet Laureate Howard Nemerov reflected on ginkgos with his poem, The Consent, celebrating the way they drop their leaves in unison, creating a magnificent amber skirt beneath the pale gray spire. When given the choice of replacing a silver maple street tree, we decided to go with quality and tradition. ‘Autumn Gold’ is a prime selection that does not produce the rancidsmelling seeds of female trees. Mature ginkgos are stately, reaching 50 feet in height with a broad silhouette. My annual tree assessment showed that we will be losing a native catalpa tree in the coming years, with its wizened branches contorted and woodpecker riddled, so we let a chance seedling stay. The mother tree, while deteriorating, poses no risk to house or car, so it will stay as long as nature allows. A family of woodpeckers resides in a hollow high above the ground. The catalpa blooms abundantly with great clusters of white trumpets in the middling-end of spring, followed by string-bean-like seedpods that hold for the season. The seedling is now 2 years old and already 7 feet tall! Perhaps it will bloom next year. Special Small Trees The Chinese dogwood, Cornus kousa variety chinensis, is one of my favorite understory trees. Blooming much later than our native species of Cornus, it also has clusters of red fruit that the birds love. Several clonal selections are available, and I am fond of the pink flowered form ‘Satomi.’ Another of my favorites is the native redbud and its cultivars. The white form ‘Alba’ is particularly fine for clipping and enjoying indoors, while the native orchid pink ones bring brightness to the roadsides everywhere in spring. ‘Ace of Hearts’ is a delightful compact new cultivar that reaches only about 12 feet in height, with a spread of around 15 feet. Every garden of any size should have room for a flowering crab. The ‘Madonna’ crabapple is an excellent choice with small early, long-lasting, double white fragrant flowers in profusion, followed by red fruit that gives migrating birds a boost. With improved insect and disease resistance, this premium selection will mature quickly to about 18 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Spring Flowering Trees One of the best days in the garden is the one when the first pink and white snowflakes of the cherry trees start to flutter in the light

Fabulous Summer and Fall Color If you love the white birch forests of New England, you might like the white-barked Himalayan birch, Betula utilis variety jacquemontii. It has the whitest bark of the cultivated selections, along with improved drought and heat tolerance and increased insect and disease resistance. It grows quickly to 35 or 40 feet tall with an 18- to 20-foot-wide spread. Beyond the crisp autumn colors of the ornamental pears and maple trees, one of Julie Hess’s favorite trees for fall color is the Chinese pistachio, Pistacia chinensis, with brilliant crimson leaves in fall. It makes a wonderful umbrella-shaped, drought-tolerant street tree reaching 60 feet tall. For even more dramatic fall color, try ‘Autumn Blaze’ maple. It will grow quickly to 60 feet, with a 40-foot spread. For a bit of spice from the bayou country, try Nyssa sylvatica ‘Zydeco twist.’ This black gum has contorted zigzag branches and superb red fall color.

spring breezes. I wish there was more room in my own garden for cherries, but the one I have is special. For your garden, try the ‘Amanogawa’ Japanese flowering cherry (Prunus serrulata), a narrow upright tree with semidouble pale pink flowers. It starts the spring with bronzy-green young foliage that slowly ages to medium green for the summer and continues to good fall color. It will be about 25 feet tall by 12 feet wide. Magnolia ‘Ann’ is a special Magnolia ‘Centennial’ saucer-form which, while in the traditional shades of orchid purple, has flowers that are later blooming and less likely to be caught and burned by a late frost. Magnolia ‘Elizabeth’ is a garden favorite with tight candles of primrose yellow opening into creamy saucers of narrow petals. Maturing to about 15 feet, these small trees are perfect for side yards. ‘Merrill’ magnolia, Magnolialoebneri, has smaller, pure white flowers in very early spring. The one in my front courtyard is 20 years old and 25 feet tall with a 20 foot width. When it blooms, it is a dramatic focal point that draws the eye of every visitor. All three of these magnolias are deciduous.

Q&A

with Ron Charles of The Washington Post

N loves it when hometown natives make it big, and we love it even more when they come back to share their talents. Ron Charles, deputy editor of The Washington Post Book World, was an English teacher at John Burroughs School before he took his first job as a book reviewer. He will visit St. Louis on Oct. 4 for ‘An Evening with Elizabeth Strout’ at The Saint Louis Woman’s Club, where he will interview the Pulitzer Prizewinner about her newest release, The Burgess Boys. The event benefits The Heritage Account, Inc., which promotes the restoration and preservation of The Saint Louis Woman’s Club building in the Central West End. For ticket information, call 367-6923 or email CarolynGFarrell@gmail. com. We checked in with Charles on everything from where he went to high school to his criteria for rating books.

How did you become a book editor? When I was teaching English, I started to review books for a paper in Boston. I moved up there, and I worked at the Christian Science Monitor for seven years or so, and I moved to the Post eight or nine years ago. It’s a great job and it’s really fun—it sounds a little like Christmas every day— which is nice, but it might be nice only in theory. We receive about 150 books a day, so the volume is unbelievable.

We try to speak to authors we know our readers will be interested in—big names and best-sellers—but we also try to help readers discover new people that can be fun and exciting. Ron Charles, The Washington Post

September 20, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

How do you choose which books to write about? We try to speak to authors we know our readers will be interested in—big names and best-sellers—but we also try to help readers discover new people that can be fun and exciting. How many books do you actually read? I only finish one a week, that’s the book I review every Wednesday in the Post. But I read all day long. A lot is triage, trying to get through this flood of books pouring in on us all the time. We’re trying to find the big name and the undiscovered gem, or sometimes trying to make a roundup of books on some quirky subject.

we can sharpen our own critical skills and discover new writers. So it’s partly consumer help, but it also reminds me of the work I used to do as a teacher, which is to help people appreciate good books. Do you think you’ll still read that much when you eventually retire? I’ll read more, because I won’t have to review it. Reviewing slows you down because you have to read carefully, take notes and remember details. If I’m not reviewing, I can whiz along and enjoy it.

What are your criteria when you rate a book? I am looking for a powerful story. I want to be moved. It doesn’t have to be sad, but in some way it has to engage us. It should be written in a way that is clever or beautiful or witty; it has to have something striking about the style. It also has to have characters that we can either relate to, or hate or love. That’s what we all want: to go into somebody else’s world for a while.

What is your favorite genre? I review what we call literary fiction and that’s my favorite. However, I’m surprised how much I’ve been enjoying Westerns. I would have never thought I had any interest in those, but I realized I’ve reviewed four or five of them coincidentally and they were really good. It seems like such an old-fashioned genre—my grandfather used to read them—but several authors are bringing them back successfully. One great example is Mary Doria Russell, who is writing a series on Doc Holliday. The first novel is out; it’s called Doc, and she’s working on the second one. She’s just great.

What do you hope your readers come away with when they read a review? For one thing, I want them to have a better idea of whether they would enjoy reading this book. Of course, that’s what reviewers do; and I also want to help them understand the kind of books that they might like, and give them an idea of how literature works—what’s successful and what’s not. Together

Are there any books you read over and over again? No, I don’t. It’s always a race into the future. People tell me about the great books they’ve read, but if it’s not coming out in the next two months, I can’t read it. What I’m reading, you haven’t heard of, because it hasn’t come out yet; and I will have to wait until I retire to read what I’ve missed.

So you grew up in St. Louis? Yes, I lived there for 35 years. I went to Principia and taught at John Burroughs, and I have a lot of friends there. I love St. Louis and I get back all the time.

unreliable, secondhand gossip from around the world* KATHERINE HEIGL

The former Grey’s Anatomy star apparently is having some career troubles. After several horrible flops, including One for the Money and Killers, Heigl, who once commanded $12 million a film, is now doing TV commercials. Insiders claim the reason for the dearth of roles is that Heigl is a nightmare to work with: demanding, rude and condescending. So those of you who had ‘turtle face’ or ‘can’t act’ in the office pool, pay up.

LIAM HEMSWORTH Miley Cyrus’s fiancé was snapped heading out for a run last week, no doubt trying to escape the cheating rumors swirling around him. After his breakout role in the universally panned thriller, Paranoia, Hemsworth now confronts a rocky romance with Cyrus, after multiple reports have surfaced that he has been two-timing her with Mad Men actress January Jones. Jeez. If only his films had this much drama…

KHLOE AND LAMAR The reality stars continue their romantic struggle for all to see. After a 10-minute courtship and 20-minute marriage, the pair has publicly struggled with fertility issues, allegations of infidelity and now, drug dependency. NBA player Odom has reportedly checked into, then out of, then into an outpatient rehab program for a crack cocaine addiction. Well, barring a trial for a violent crime, a long-lost evil twin or a plane crash on a deserted island, I don’t know what those two are going to come up with for sweeps.

TAYLOR SWIFT The pop star and serial dater’s new romance has hit the tabloids: Swift has been spotted cozying up with Australian actor Breton Thwaites. The drama, however, has already started as Breton’s ex, model Jessica Campion, is apparently making no secret of her jealousy. Swift is reportedly shocked at Campion’s reaction and is taking the high road, despite never having had to deal with a jealous ex. Mainly because none of her relationships have lasted long enough to evoke that kind of response, but still. * So don’t quote me BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

The Pumpkin Patch IF YOU RECALL, LAST WEEKEND WAS delightful, weather-wise. Saturday was a crisp fall day—well technically it’s still summer, but you get my meaning—a sweatshirt and shorts kind of day. So it was in an almost spontaneous, certainly unpremeditated, moment that I said it. I’m not sure I had ever actually uttered the words before. I mean, I’m sure I had, but I may have blocked it out. I don’t know why, but the weather must have caused a sudden surge of sentimentality. So I said it: We should go to the pumpkin patch. I was met with a trio of astounded faces. Cranky, Whiny and Punch all staring at me as if I had grown a second head. Eye-roll, raised brow, uh no, a triumvirate of disdain. Was the idea that absurd? Cranky (15) checked her phone. Whiny (14) returned his attention to the pantry and Punch (12) resumed a video game the object of which, one can only assume, was to eat I.Q. points. Perhaps it was my own presumption that startled me the most. You see there are two things at play here; first, when did my children become too old or too cool or too busy to go to the pumpkin patch, but more importantly, when did I suddenly develop the desire to take them? There’s nothing cuter than a toddler on a giant pumpkin, but let’s call a spade a spade: The pumpkin patch is a nightmare. Seven of the 10 things parents fear most are at the pumpkin patch (germs, strangers, animals, animal feces, a maze, speeding cars, costumed characters). If they had an unguarded body of water, sharp knives and some faulty wiring, no

TANGENTIAL THINKER one would get out alive. I guess I just felt a temporary swell of nostalgia. Not too long ago, a crisp tinge in the air meant pee wee soccer, early bedtimes, and snack schedules. Now it’s learners’ permits, term papers and math homework I cannot do. (To be fair, I haven’t been able to do it since sixth grade, but it’s really hitting home now.) Now it’s worry about making a team and getting good grades and choosing a college. I think if I had known what was coming I might not have looked at a field trip to the pumpkin patch with such trepidation. What’s a candy apple in your hair compared to a teenage driver? I miss the pumpkin patch. I’ve thought about driving out there by myself and just watching the kids run around, but apparently that’s frowned upon. And truth be told, I probably don’t miss the actual outing as much as I miss three little sandy-haired children begging me to take them to climb on hay bales and pet baby goats. I miss me looking to the heavens and begging for rain, or the day when my children would outgrow this little excursion. Be careful what you wish for…

REVIEWS THEATER REVIEW BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

The Family

WHACK JOB RATING: 4 out of 10

ELL, THIS IS unusual. Here we have a movie helmed by a group of actors who spend their free time dusting their Oscars. The movie has a tested director, an intriguing, if well-worn premise, and virtually no competition at the box office. What would it take to make this worth a rainy day jaunt to the Cineplex? Whatever it is, this movie doesn’t have it. In fact, there is only one word I can think of to describe it: unredeemable. Giovanni (Robert De Niro) ratted on his mob brethren. So courtesy of the federal government and Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones), Giovanni, his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer), son Warren (John D’Leo) and daughter Belle (Dianna Agron) are now the Blake family residing in a cozy hamlet in Normandy, France. (I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is I don’t know.) The family quickly puts their mob practices to good use, reigning in bullies and bureaucrats, as they attempt to assimilate. If you guessed that at some point, something tips their hand and the mob discovers their whereabouts, give yourself a gold star. I cannot for the life of me imagine what drew these actors to this project. I have wrapped fish in better scripts. There are sequences that are so irrelevant they are inexplicable; it’s almost as if the writer needed to fill time before the big ta-da. Hmmm. I don’t know what else to say—it’s not even worth a rental.

Now in Theaters

HIS MAY NOT BE THE best weekend to venture to the cinema, but if you feel compelled, here’s what’s out there. Lee Daniels’ The Butler Forest Whitaker and a stellar cast helm this story of the civil right movement as seen through the eyes of a White House butler. We’re the Millers Jason Sudeikis stars as a small time pot dealer forced to transport a drug shipment. It’s a very funny, if deviant, road trip comedy. Austenland This is a lighthearted and forgettable romantic comedy about a lovelorn woman obsessed with Jane Austen and her search for a real life Mr. Darcy. The Spectacular Now This film is not earth-shattering, but it is a respectable teen dramedy about a high school party boy running from adulthood. Blue Jasmine Woody Allen’s latest offering is a wonderful film showcasing the talent of Cate Blanchett. Blanchett plays a New York society wife banished to middle class life on the West coast when her husband’s fraud is exposed. Closed Circuit Eric Bana stars as a London barrister set to defend a terrorist he suspects may be a government agent. Unfortunately, this film wastes its potential.

Our Town BY MARK BRETZ

STORY The stage manager welcomes the audience to the fictional village of Grover’s Corners, New Hamsphire, and introduces us to various residents who make up the community. The play he presents is divided into three acts, titled Daily Life, Love and Marriage, and Death and Eternity. The primary focus of the story revolves around Emily Webb, daughter of the newspaper editor, and George Gibbs, her neighbor and the son of the town doctor. We follow these characters during the period of 1901 to 1913, as Emily and George grow from childhood friends through their courtship, marriage and the start of their own family.

HIGHLIGHTS Our Town is a century removed from today’s frenetic existence. It seems every bit of 100 years, not only in time but also in its quiet, sedate approach to life, as depicted by playwright Thornton Wilder in 1938. Tom Martin has assembled a ‘Who’s Who’ in local theater to mount a moving and marvelous rendition of Wilder’s charming classic. Joneal Joplin is steady and sure as the sagacious Stage Manager, who tells this time-honored tale in straightforward, poetic style. John Contini and Peggy Billo as Dr. Gibbs and Julia (Hersey) Gibbs seem every bit the town physician and his loving wife; as do Alan Knoll and Amy Loui as their neighbors, newspaper publisher Charles Webb and Mrs. Webb.

COMPANY: Insight Theatre Company VENUE: Heagney Theatre, Nerinx Hall, 530 East Lockwood Ave. DATES: Sept. 19-22, 26-29 TICKETS: $15-$30; contact insighttheatre company.com, brownpaper tickets.com, 556-1293 RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

In the roles of Emily Webb and George Gibbs, Taylor Pietz and Jack Dryden offer convincing performances. Pietz simply inhabits the part of young Emily, and one easily accepts her portrayal of a young woman with a big heart, a clever mind and loads of common sense. Her scene with Dryden at a soda fountain shop run by our omniscient Stage Manager is a wistful highlight of the production. As for Dryden, he captures George’s likability and slower growth to maturity with ease. Wilder’s fictional town is now 75 years old and its setting more than a century in the rear-view mirror. It continues to resonate, though, with an unabashed respect and love for life that is bound to no particular era.

Some signature items are smoked bacon shrimp over whipped cornbread, cherry wood smoked duck, caramelized porcini mushroom gnocchi, and a 16 oz. pork chop stuffed with prosciutto and asiago cheese. . The Caramel House has announced a new flavor for fall, ‘O’Pumpkin,’ a collaboration with O’Fallon Brewery with the brewer’s Pumpkin Beer infused into The Caramel House’s famous caramel confection. It’s available online (thecaramelhouse.com), or at select grocers. Looks like Green Bean in the CWE has closed its doors. The popular eco-friendly eatery’s last day of service was Sept. 6.

Panorama

As Good As It Looks BY SIDNEY LEWIS

PANORAMA, THE RESTAURANT HOUSED IN the Saint Louis Art Museum’s new East Building, opened in July under the auspices of the Bon Apetit Management Company. Since then, there has been a rapidly building buzz around town about the food, not to mention the view. The space is minimal, almost stark, so there’s nothing to distract guests from the beautiful view of the park and from savoring the creative cuisine. Panorama features seasonal menus incorporating as much local produce and products as possible, created by Chef Edward Farrow. The restaurant adheres to Bon Apetit’s Farm To Fork initiative, where at least 20 percent of the products have to be sourced from within 150 miles, and Farrow and his staff put these local ingredients to good use. We stopped by for dinner, which is only available on Fridays from 5 to 9 p.m. And while there are separate menus for lunch and dinner, there is a bit of overlap, like An Ode To Summer ($9), a panoply of seasonal fruits and vegetables that changes frequently. Our plate had a gorgeous array that included thin slices of radish and beets, green beans, asparagus and chunks of yellow watermelon. The variety of tastes, textures and colors in this dish truly was a delicious homage to the bounty St. Louis has in its own backyard. For mains, we tried the Roasted Local Heritage Pork with Summer Herbs ($19) and the MushroomCrusted Alaskan Halibut ($22). The pork, which couldn’t have been more tender and juicy, was perched on a bed of creamy grits that were just the right consistency—thick and creamy, not watery as is so often the case. The dish also came with roasted

beets—one of our summertime favorites—and the meat was prepared with a sweet and savory baconagave gastrique that nicely accented the mild flavor of the pork. The fish was tender and flaky, served atop a delicious summer herb risotto and accompanied by an array of roasted vegetables, and plated with an understated sweet carrot-cumin coulis. The mushrooms didn’t form an actual crust, per se, but were pressed together in a patty of sorts and served on top of the halibut. The earthiness of the mushrooms proved a subtle complement to the delicate flavor of the fish. For dessert, we highly recommend the Warm Missouri Apple & Pecan Bread Pudding ($7). This thick loaf of bread pudding came plated with bits of peanut brittle, dollops of caramel and a roasted beet-agave sauce that added a delectable dark earthiness to the sweetness of the rest of the dish. Panorama is open Tuesday through Thursday, and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. On Fridays, hours are 11 a.m. until 9 p.m., and Sunday brunch is served from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Though dinner is only an option on Fridays, we’ve been told that dinner service may be expanded down the line. Don’t forget, if you’re a Museum member, show your membership card for 10 percent off. For those who don’t equate quality restaurants with a museum setting, Panorama will definitely change your mind.

GREEN GOURMET

NAKED BACON

SALTY. CRISPY. SMOKED. SWEET. DO YOU know where this is going? If you thought bacon, then you would be correct. And that’s what it’s all about at Naked Bacon, a local company that recently has been re-thought of by founder/CEO John Kreilich. “I started the business three years ago as Kreilich Farm, but we rebranded in June in time to launch at Zoofari (at the Saint Louis Zoo),” Kreilich notes. “The recipes that we use go back to my great-grandfather August, who in 1861 lived on a large amount of land in Ste. Genevieve, Mo., and would smoke all their own meats.” In fact, much later, it was on that very same farm during summers and on the weekends when Kreilich would visit his grandfather (Bernard Kreilich) and learn about his family’s history, as well as the family recipes. “It’s our family’s heritage,” Kreilich explains. “My grandfather taught me all about my great-grandfather’s practices and curing processes. I was probably around age 6 or 7 when he started teaching me about raising animals, farming, and smoking meats and bacon.” And it was from that information that Kreilich perfected the recipe that Naked Bacon uses today. According to Kreilich, Naked Bacon handcrafts its bacon in small batches with a dry cure rub, which includes a secret blend of spices. “We try to keep our spices as natural as we possibly can by using non-GMO products,” he says. “And we source farmers in both Missouri and Illinois who feed their animals with non-GMO corn. We’re also trying to use more and more heritage breed pork. But we’re finding that what really makes a difference is how the animals are raised. We look for farmers who use humane practices— and we don’t want any hormones in our meat, as well.” So what doesn’t go into Naked Bacon? Well, here’s where the company’s name comes in. “Our bacon doesn’t have any nitrate or nitrites. It doesn’t have any chemical solutions (i.e., spray-on smoke, used to speed up the curing process), or phosphates,” Kreilich points out. “We also don’t inject our bacon with water, which is what some companies out there do.” He explains that by injecting water, the final product can actually end up with more weight than the amount of bacon they started with. “And that’s why our bacon tastes the way it does—the way it tasted 100 years ago. It’s the way bacon is supposed to taste.” Naked Bacon currently offers three varieties: Original, No Sugar Added and Jalapeño. “Our Original recipe has a little brown sugar, along with our secret blend of herbs and spices, and

SEPTEMBER 20, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

then it’s smoked with hickory and fruitwood,” Kreilich describes. “Our No Sugar Added is exactly the same as the original but without the sugar. But you can hardly tell a difference—it still has a sweet flavor to it.” Lastly, the Jalapeño is made with the same dry cure, but it has the added kick in it. Kreilich also notes that he is working on new varieties that will be available soon. Retail outlets where Naked Bacon can be found include Ladue Market, Local Harvest Grocery, Kakao Chocolate, Baumanns’ Fine Meats and Bob’s Seafoods, among other locations. Naked Bacon also will be featured at Taste of St. Louis Sept. 27-29 at Soldier’s Memorial, where they will be serving up a recipe that Kreilich developed called Taco BLTs, which include a traditional corn tortilla with bacon, lettuce, tomato, arugula and a secret sauce. “Food is a passion for me.” Kreilich says. “The

WE’RE FINDING THAT WHAT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE IS HOW THE ANIMALS ARE RAISED.

We’re giving people a choice as to the kind of bacon they can have, with different varieties, and a healthier version of bacon, as well.”

ST. LOUIS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL continued from page 20 Healthy Kids Express is funded entirely by donations, and one of its primary fundraisers is the Carousel Gala, a biennial event that will take place on Nov. 2 at The Ritz-Carlton. According to event chair Tammy Walsh, the black-tie event will include a cocktail hour, dinner, out-of-theordinary live auction items and an after-party emceed by DJ Crucial. “As opposed to offering typical items, we’re auctioning off services that the Healthy Kids Express provides,” Walsh says. “So instead of auctioning off a vacation home, we’re auctioning off what that amount would purchase—how many teeth cleanings, how many physicals. We’re trying to keep it all about the

LN LANDSCAPE continued from page 80 Excellent Estate Trees We all miss the magnificent and stately American elm that once lined many streets. We were able to use annual antibiotic treatments to save two huge specimens at our house. Diseaseresistant cultivars are now available, and the American elm will slowly find its way back into our gardens. We knew that these trees would not live forever, so we planted some replacements about five years ago that may be tree-spaded into place when the big ones are gone. Julie Hess and I discussed many choices and decided to use ‘Allee’

hospital and Healthy Kids Express.” Although there’s one ‘traditional’ auction item that will allow guests the opportunity to win a dinner with doctors featured on the recent docu-series, Frontline for Hope. “It will be a small dinner party, and give diners the chance to really get to know these wonderful treasures—these doctors we have in our community.” Todd-Moorhead emphasizes that all the work done by the Healthy Kids Express, its doctors and social workers would come to an end without the support of generous donors. “The mission of our hospital is to do what’s right for kids, and we have generous donors who saw the need and said we have to do the right thing. The need is so great.”

Chinese elm, Ulmus chinensis. Not quite as large at maturity (perhaps 50 feet tall by 35 feet wide), it offers the lovely elm shape, but has improved resistance to Dutch elm disease and the elm leaf beetle. One of the best big trees for estate and park settings is the European beech. The purple leaf form provides drama in the landscape. Soft and fine-textured, the cut-leaf European beech, Fagus sylvatica variety asplenifolia, is another elegant addition. Each beech form may become a broad spreading specimen with a crown from 40 to 60 feet tall and across.

YOUR NEXT DOCTOR’S VISIT continued from page 67 Communicating clearly also is important when updating other physicians about your care. Don’t assume your primary-care physician and specialists automatically share information. “Tell your primary-care physician about all of the specialists you are following up with. Educating patients about the importance of keeping their primarycare physician in the loop regarding recommendations from specialists about a disease or any changes made to their medications is vital,” Chauhan says.

After you mourn your tree losses from old age, storm, drought or nature, take a moment to celebrate the chance to plant a new one. It is always exciting to dig deep into the garden soil and prepare the planting hole for a new tree. Many folks do it to commemorate the birth of a child or a special wedding anniversary. Plant one to offset part of your carbon footprint. Dig one in on the west side of the house to help save energy costs. Choose a tall-maturing shade tree to cool your patio. Just give some thought to your choice; as chances are, the tree will outlive the gardener who plants it.
