EDITOR’S NOTE
staff writers LAURA G RAESSER B R I T TA N Y N AY E L IZ A B ETH S C H M IT T
What did you do last weekend? If you’re like most Americans, the breakdown might have looked like this: Sleeping (40 percent); leisure, such as time on the Internet, reading or socializing (28 percent); cooking/cleaning/other housework (10 percent); eating/drinking (6 percent); shopping (4 percent); volunteering/church (2 percent); and so on. The numbers, which come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, were first reported by NPR. These statistics are by no means shocking—there is no one more passionate about ‘sleeping in’ than yours truly—but they reveal where our priorities lie on the days when most of us don’t have to report to work. The numbers also serve to motivate those of us (myself included) who are looking for something more meaningful to do with our extra time. With fall officially here, it’s a good time to assess our routine and find ways to modify it for the better. Personally, I’d like to up my housework (currently almost non-existent at the Muyco-Tobin household), back off the shopping and start exploring worthwhile volunteer opportunities. Just don’t mess with my sleep.

Super Heroes JDRF By Diane Anderson
A
super hero is dedicated to protecting the public. That is why JDRF’s Greater Missouri and Southern Illinois Chapter recently announced that Dr. John Pieper, president of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy, is the honorary chair of the 2012 JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. “St. Louis College of Pharmacy and I are honored to team with JDRF in the search for ways to prevent, better treat, and ultimately cure Type 1 diabetes. Pharmacists are the most accessible health care professionals in each community, so it is appropriate that pharmacists and the College are at the forefront of helping all T1D patients effectively manage their disease,” Pieper said at the event’s kick-off luncheon, held at Sheet Metal Workers Local 36 Union Hall. The walk will be held on Oct. 7, starting at the Upper Muny Parking Lot in Forest Park.

Diane’s Scoop Sanda Rosenblum, who heads up the public relations department for JDRF, recently returned from her long-awaited vacation to New York City. There, she enjoyed a week of theater, superb food and New Yorkers with an attitude...Tom Jackson, chief of police for Ferguson, surprised everyone with his outstanding singing voice. The chief is very involved with JDRF because he has a daughter who was diagnosed with the disease...Kelly Klein continues to swing her tennis racket every chance she gets!... Christina Reilly says she is lucky to have caught a strange mole on her calf in time—a quick surgery and she is back to normal!

Currently, he is pursuing an MBA at Harvard Business School and anticipates graduating in the spring of 2013. Kathleen and Jimmy met at an event in Charlottesville, Va., their junior year of college. Two years later, both were living in Baltimore, but it took a chance encounter in New York for them to realize they were living in the same city. The couple began dating and became engaged a year-and-a-half later. They are planning a spring wedding in Savannah, Ga. Following their graduations, they plan to reside in Houston.

What Every St. Louis Girl Needs… BOSOM BUDDY BAGS FOR FALL
Season BY Season By John Sullivan

I
know that I’m speaking for most of us when I say I’m glad this summer is over. This was the hottest, most humid summer I can remember. Yet, we did at least one wedding every weekend from May through August. My own niece’s wedding (which I was so looking forward to) was on the hottest day of the year. So when considering the type of wedding you want, you’ll want to imagine the scene in each season. The weather will have an undeniable impact on the tone of the occasion.
SPRING: March can be a very wet and unpredictable weather month. April—especially late April—is an incredibly romantic month, with all the year’s loveliest flowers available: lily of the valley, tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, even peonies and blooming branches. May is a pretty safe month weather-wise, but you may not be able to get some early-blooming branches like quince, forsythia, dogwood and pear blossoms. But, you’ll be sure to have the wonderful peony, which was voted the most asked-for flower in 2012, beating out the rose for the first time in decades. SUMMER: Probably June is the most ideal month weather-wise: Gardens are still crisp and maintained; and the most romantic of all flowers, the rose, is available in profusion. The legend behind the ‘June bride’ goes back to ancient Rome, where the goddess Juno vowed to protect all those who married in this, her month. A big problem is vendors: If you don’t book them early enough (up to a full year in advance), you may not be able to get all your preferred vendors on the same day. But being a June bride is so classic, it may be worth all the planning. Some couples who want a summer wedding, and are unable to get all their ‘favorites’ coordinated, might go into July or August. This is a great time to get all your family and friends together, as most people can get off school or work during these months. AUTUMN: Fall is for lovers—there is that special crispness in the air that evokes ro-

mance. September and October can be mild and sunny, and the foliage and the scenery can be spectacular. All the colors of fall are fiery and rich with harvest motifs, wreaths, fruit and grain available (I particularly like bittersweet). Another advantage to a fall wedding is that honeymoon destinations can be less crowded, since schools start in late August and September.

Irish lore has it that the last day of the year is the luckiest day to get married. However, the Scots swear that January 1 is the best. A word to the wise: Be careful when planning weddings on holidays, especially Christmas Eve and Valentine’s Day, as most of your caterers, florists and reception sites can be booked as far out as several years in advance. I think after this summer, we all may be a little reluctant to plan summer weddings, but hope is eternal and summer 2013 could be the most perfect ever. Right now, I’m very excited about the fall weddings coming up. After the miserably hot summer, some cooler, crisp weather will be heaven-sent.

THEIR STORY... Nina Schmid and Alex Engelsmann met through mutual friends in 2007. Fueled by their appreciation of the other’s sense of humor, a romance blossomed. “I knew pretty quickly Alex was ‘the one.’ We have a similar sense of humor and we just get the biggest kick out of each other,” says Nina. Alex echoes her sentiment, “She makes me laugh more than anyone; and she thinks I’m funny, which is a plus. We also share a lot of the same values.” The couple’s engagement mirrored their relationship. “It was very laid back and simple—but that’s how we do things,” explains Nina. Alex popped the question one evening after dinner at his home. “It was nofrills, but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way,” she adds. The couple was joined by family and friends on June 8 when they were married at Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church in a ceremony officiated by The Rev. James Tobin. The bride wore her grandmother’s veil and Edelweiss from The Sound of Music played during her processional. “It was a remarkable moment to be walking arm-in-arm with my sweet dad to be given away to my sweet husband!” recalls Nina. Following the ceremony, the couple rode off in a vintage Woody car that belonged to Alex’s late mother. A Southern-inspired soirée followed at Deer Creek Club. Blue and white vintage vases, (found by Nina and her mother at various antique stores) filled with pink and white peonies graced each guest table, and favors were replaced with donation cards benefiting the St. Louis Symphony in honor of the groom’s late mother. Guests were served traditional Southern appetizers like ham biscuits, as well as shot glasses of cold soups. Dinner fare consisted of beef tenderloin and, in keeping with the Southern theme, shrimp and grits. Instead of the traditional bouquet toss, the bride presented the bouquet to her grandmother, who was celebrating 60 years of marriage. The newlyweds honeymooned on Maui, where they explored the island in a helicopter and took a submarine below sea level. Nina offers advice for brides to be: “Make your wedding your own—don’t feel constrained by tradition or trends. Also, pick a good groom and none of the rest matters!” The couple resides in Ladue. Nina Schmid is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Schmid II of Creve Coeur and the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schmid and Mr. John Phelan and the late Shirlie Phelan, all of Ladue. Alex Engelsmann is the son of Richard and the late Judith Engelsmann of Ladue and the grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Engelsmann of Ladue and the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hickey of Frontenac.

JOEL GOLDSTEIN By Paul Brown
J
oel Goldstein is one of the smartest people in St. Louis. He went to University City High, graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University, got his doctorate as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and then went on to Harvard Law School. He’s been a law professor at Saint Louis University for the past 19 years and just happens to be one of the world’s foremost experts on the vice presidency of the United States of America. With the presidential election now at ‘DEFCON-1’ intensity, Goldstein has been in high demand. CNN, The New York Times, Washington Post and other outlets from around the globe all want to pick his brain for insights into how a running mate might affect the outcome this November. “One Saturday, I did 13 interviews,” Goldstein says. “I talked with reporters from China, the Netherlands, Australia, Spain…it’s been pretty active.” Goldstein fills me in on his media schedule as he walks briskly across campus, quickly adding that all the attention still doesn’t cut him any slack with his wife when it comes to taking out the garbage (never mind that C-SPAN is on hold). “I don’t want to make it sound like I’m 24/7 talking about the vice president; or that I inflict this on my wife and children or friends,” he explains. “If anything, I like to talk about a lot of other things.” For example, Goldstein also likes to talk about sports: When I ask him if he thinks the Cardinals can do it again this year, he seamlessly shifts from Richard Mentor Johnson (Martin Van Buren’s VP, in case—for some reason—you didn’t already know that) to Mike Matheny’s lineup card. “It’s a funny team this year,” he muses. “They’ve got this incredibly robust offense and this bullpen that sometimes is lights-out, but other times, it falters.” His analysis is spot-on— but weren’t we just talking about Spiro Agnew? Either way, the conversation is intriguing. Professor Goldstein says sometimes, you just
have to know your audience and speak accordingly. “If somebody raises it (the vice presidency) at a dinner party, I try to skew the conversation away ‘cause I think that’s not what’s going to be most interesting.” But get him on PBS and Joel Goldstein has moves like Mick Jagger. Even a recent New York Times story featured him on its ‘Style’ pages—his friends couldn’t believe it. But there he was, right next to the Gucci ad. “It’s been a blast,” he says. “It’s a fascinating subject, actually. To some extent, anything you get interested in becomes fascinating.” I’m surprised when Goldstein tells me he thinks Walter Mondale was the most influential vice president because of the way Mondale changed the office to that of a highlevel advisor—a model which has been copied by every administration since. But I’m not surprised to hear that he considers Agnew the

the subject? He says it was his father, the late St. Louis attorney Milton Goldstein, who suggested that he write a course paper on the topic. A senior thesis at Princeton followed, then a doctoral dissertation at Oxford. Books came next, and voila! Saint Louis U. now has the Bob Costas of VP analysis. There have been some unusual episodes mixed in with Goldstein’s experiences over the years, like the time he was standing in SLU Law School lobby in the mid-’90s when a complete stranger approached him and said, Can you tell me what the vice president does? At first, Goldstein thought that one of his colleagues was playing a prank and had put the stranger up to it. It turns out, the person was about to take a test to gain his American citizenship, and was sure that a question about the VP would be a part of the exam. Goldstein says the man apparently wandered into the law school looking for answers. “It was total irony that here was this guy, coming up to the first person he saw, to ask this question because he was totally baffled
“
It’s a fascinating subject…To some extent, anything you get interested in becomes fascinating. worst. I’m heartened, though, when he tells me the Spiro Agnew wristwatch I’ve held on to all these years may actually be worth something! For the most part, Goldstein explains, Agnew (and many of his predecessors) turned the office into a national joke. The job was once considered so inconsequential that instead of working, some of the office-holders wrote books, ran taverns or generally slept their way through their terms—despite being one heartbeat away from the presidency. So how did Goldstein become captivated by

ith a number of talented hand and wrist specialists coalescing at Washington University Orthopedics, forming the Peterson Hand Center was an obvious next step. “We really do have a group that offers one-stop shopping,” says co-chief of service Dr. Martin Boyer. “There’s really nothing in the hand, wrist and upper extremities that we don’t do: everything from carpal tunnel release to transplantation of bone and microsurgery to restore circulation, and also transplantation of toes to restore hand function. The patient can be fairly certain that whatever their hand or wrist problem, we have the expertise.” That expertise is important to patients, whether they’re suffering from a common ailment like carpal tunnel, or from something rarer such as a child born with birth abnormalities, adds co-chief of service Dr. Charles Goldfarb. “This is what we do; we don’t dabble in hand surgery.

simple measures. It boils down to: If you think about it, you probably should do it.” For patients with carpal tunnel, the initial doctor’s visit often comes when discomfort starts interfering with their sleep, Goldfarb says. “The most common complaint is waking up at night with numbness or tingling. The time to visit the doctor is when numbness and clumsiness with the hands interferes with their lifestyle. There are not just Band-Aids, but solutions, to this.” Treatment for carpal tunnel often will begin with a splint worn at night, which sometimes provides a cure, but often only temporary relief, he notes. For some patients, steroid injections are a secondary option, and the final resort is surgery. “Some 80 to 85 percent of patients can be cured with surgery,” Goldfarb says, adding, “It’s an outpatient surgery that takes less than 30 minutes, and it has a relatively quick recovery and good outcomes.” In addition to patient care, the Hand Center also has a research component, and many of the studies focus on predicting whether surgery will be effective in various situations, Boyer says. “It’s a hand center—not a hand surgery center.

On the heels of last year’s inaugural event, which was intended as more of a ‘friendraiser,’ approximately $11,800 was raised, says executive director Rhonda Gray.

ith the arrival of shorter days and cooler nights, you may be ready to celebrate the end of summer with a festive fall party. From hors d’oeuvres to decorations, these local party planners and caterers offer their recommendations for the perfect autumn gathering.
Ann Lemcke ART OF ENTERTAINING
Serves 10-12 PUMPKIN CREAM SAUCE
• Incorporate seasonal items into the decor. Use apples, whole walnuts and pine cones in your table centerpieces. Gather leaves from your backyard and spray them with shellac for shine. Fill a carved pumpkin with flowers instead of a vase.
½ c flour ½ lb. melted butter 2 ½ quarts half & half 3 T. chicken base 1 t. cinnamon 1 t. nutmeg ¼ c brown sugar
• Pumpkin isn’t just for dessert. Pumpkin bisque and Tortellini with a Pumpkin Cream Sauce are savory options for fall party dishes. • Get creative with your presentation. Serve soup or chili—perfect for a cool, fall evening—in hollowed-out acorn squash. Toast pumpkin seeds for a garnish.
• Welcome your guests into a home filled with the aromas of warm, autumn spices by simmering cinnamon sticks on the stove or lighting candles.
APPLE PIE 2 T. butter 3 large apples, diced ½ t. cinnamon 2/3 c brown sugar 1 T. cornstarch ¼ t. salt ½ t. vanilla
• Food and beverage pairings are very popular right now. People today don’t have the time or energy to cook big, lavish meals, so offering three or four small dishes paired with wine or cocktails is an easy and delicious option for a fall party. • Put a modern spin on a classic favorite. We offer an apple pie baked into a whole apple. It has everything great about an apple pie, self-contained with a unique twist.
Directions: Saute apples in butter just until soft. Add cinnamon, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt to apple mixture and stir until apples are coated. Cook until bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. To prepare apple ‘pie: Fill a whole, unpeeled, and cored MacIntosh or Pink Lady apple with heaping spoonful of filling, taking care to drip juices from pan over filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until outside of apple is softened and filling is bubbling.
• Saturate with one autumnal shade (chocolate brown, rust, celadon green, etc.) and use it throughout the elements of the party, playing well off the neutral palettes many people have in their homes. • Embellish your existing glassware. Take your ordinary wine and martini glasses and make the drinks look spectacular by wrapping the stems with braided raffia, wired beads, etc. You don’t have to run out and buy new stemware for every occasion.

Kate Fogerty KATE & COMPANY • Transform your backyard with strings of white lights, and make the space appropriate for cooler weather with piles of blankets and a firepit. Play off the natural colors found in the backyard and expand them into the invitations, paper products, etc. • Don’t be afraid to use rustic elements. Use tree rounds to create height and dimension on a buffet table. Print invitations on wood and use pieces of birch bark to make napkin rings. • Use versatile and popular mason jars as glasses for fun drinks like spiced apple cider, bake mini pies in the small versions, or turn them into candle holders, spread around the party. • A s’mores bar is perfect for an interactive autumn dessert option. Lay out the fixings and let guests make their own. Take s’mores to the next level by turning them into cupcakes, brownies, truffles or even lollipops! • Mix fall colors and patterns in your table linens. Choose two different plaids for a tablecloth, or make your own at the craft store. You also can use natural fabrics like burlap, and mix it with a feminine element like lace to create an unexpected touch.
• Take advantage of the intersection between the late summer and fall harvests. In late September, there still are tomatoes, corn and summer squash available, but you also have access to apples, pears and winter squash. Fall food isn’t limited to the muted colors of browns and oranges—there are lots of options to choose from. • Cooking styles change as it gets cooler, with techniques like braising and roasting. Maple and Bourbonbraised Pork Short ribs with Apple Compote is a great entree for a fall dinner party. • When offering appetizers, make sure each bite is packed with flavor. You can incorporate the heavier braised

8- to 6-inch Berkshire pork short ribs (available from your specialty butcher) ½ c olive oil 3 T. black pepper 3 T. kosher salt 3 c diced yellow onion 1½ c diced carrot
• Create simple and sophisticated accent decorations. Press leaves between two glass plates and use it as a charger or hors d’oeuvres plate. Add fall fruits to floral arrangements. Fill vases with dried beans or lentils for the buffet table.
1½ c diced celery 2 T. minced garlic 3 c Bourbon 6 c chicken stock 3 c apple juice 1 c maple syrup 1 bay leaf
Directions: Generously season the pork with 1 T. each kosher salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a heavy-bottom six quart Dutch oven, heat the oil to almost smoking and sear ribs on all sides working in batches, should be golden brown on all sides. Remove ribs from the Dutch oven and add the onions, carrots and celery and continue to cook over high heat until caramelized. Add the garlic and quickly sauté to aromatic; do not burn. Deglaze with the bourbon, being sure to scrape up any brown bits. Add the apple cider, chicken stock, maple syrup, remaining salt and pepper and the bay leaf; bring to a boil. Add pork ribs to the pot, reduce to a simmer, cover and place in the preheated oven and braise until the meat is tender and almost falling off the bone. Remove the ribs to a platter, cover with foil and return to a 150-degree oven to keep warm. Drain the vegetables from the braising liquid, remove excess fat, pour into a clean sauce pot and reduce in half, or to sauce consistency. Serve the braised short ribs on top of your favorite mashed potatoes with the reduced braising liquid and the apple compote (recipe to right). Serve with colorful autumn vegetables like baby beets, carrots and French beans.

• Go beyond the grade school fall color palette of reds, yellows and oranges. Whether you’re incorporating it into the linens, flowers and invitations, look to the harvest fruits and vegetables at the market for inspiration and a broader spectrum of autumn colors and tones.
Serves 8 BRAISED PORK SHORT RIBS
• Be sure to add ambient light to your outdoor parties. Line terraces and walkways with candles.
• Get heartier with the dishes you’re serving. Add grains like quinoa and lentils. Soup shooters at a cocktail party provide a warm and filling option, as well. • Get darker and richer with your drink pairings. While summer means vodka and gin, fall is a great time to create cocktails with darker liquors like bourbon, whiskey and spiced rum.

hese days, drunken photos, death threats and infidelity are more than Facebook fodder: Social media is becoming pivotal evidence in a court of law. “Recently, we had a situation where a man was not allowed to take his kids out-of-state, then posted pictures on Facebook of himself with his kids in Montana,” recalls Alisse Camazine of Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal. “Another man posted a Facebook photo of his daughter sitting on his lap while he was at a bar with a beer in his hand.” Others have posted public Facebook messages revealing affairs, and even used Twitter to make death threats to spouses, she adds. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter become gold mines for incriminating evidence, particularly during hotly contested divorce and child custody trials, according to local family law attorneys. “The fact is, most people today are actively involved in social media, and they tend to bear all thoughts and emotions on sites like Twitter,” says Margo Green of Green Cordonnier & House. “People are not taking social networking seriously enough—it could be used in a lawsuit.” The acts of indiscretion—detailed with names, dates, information and images—become hard proof that is simply printed off the social media site and displayed in the courtroom as evidence of irresponsibility, deceit and even child neglect. For that reason, social networking has become a mandatory discussion during the preparation of family law cases. At Zerman Mogerman, the media are part of almost every trial. “So many people use at least one form of social networking,” says Stephanie Jones, a family lawyer at the firm. Because the practice is such a common part of people’s everyday lives, clients are asked for a list of social sites they participate in, then there is a discussion about how they should use them during the case. Clients should avoid posting any information about trials on the Internet, and only

use social networking for neutral, private interactions with trusted colleagues and friends. When clients start to step over the line on public websites, lawyers warn that negative consequences can quickly follow. For example, if a client has a profile on a dating site such as eHarmony or Match.com, Jones cautions against public deceit, such as fudging a marital status by listing single before a divorce is final. “They need to know that can impact the divorce case.” To maintain your online reputation, Jones recommends checking your privacy settings on Facebook and Twitter, filtering your friends and even Googling yourself to find out what pops up for your name. “You should also think about stopping posting, blogging and tweeting—you really need to consider the cons and what a judge would think if he looked at that.” Other local family law attorneys discourage any use of social media sites during court cases. “They should take down their pages during or before their divorce, so there is no trouble,” Green says. “What you post or what acquaintances post about you can come back to haunt you.”

Parting Ways DIVORCE MEDIATION By Brittany Nay
E
very divorce is different, and, more often that not, difficult, lengthy and costly. So when it comes to confronting legal separation, local divorce lawyers look to give their clients options tailored to their needs. An increasingly popular alternative is divorce mediation, touted for its high-control, low-conflict, cost-effective and time-efficient qualities. During mediation, the husband and wife meet with a neutral third party—a mediator—who facilitates negotiation and assists them in drawing up a divorce agreement. Mediations are strictly voluntary, confidential and collaborative, says Sam Hais, of Hais, Hais, Goldberger & Coyne. Each party is in control, sharing his or her goals for the divorce outcome, while also receiving support and ideas for compromise from the mediator. “A judge is impartial and is not there to protect either party; a mediator is there to protect both parties and
deliver a settlement that is agreeable for everyone,” Hais notes. He adds that some couples opt for mediation because it allows them to stay in control of their divorce—reaching final choices between themselves rather than leaving the decisions to a judge’s discretion. “Some believe it is more apt to have a longer-lasting, if not a permanent, solution.” And while traditional divorce proceedings can cost thousands of dollars and drag on for months, or even years, mediation may run less than $1,000 and reach completion in a few hours. Typically, a mediator will charge $100 to $300 an hour. The time spent in mediation meetings, which can range from a one-hour session to multiple sessions, will determine the final cost. “For the right couple in
the right context, with a good, competent mediator, it can be a very rewarding, time-saving and costeffective process,” Hais says. Kirk Stange, of Stange Law Firm, agrees, but also notes that mediation will only work if parties are on the same page when it comes to major issues. The process can quickly reach a positive outcome for both sides if the couple only differs on smaller issues. But in the case of larger conflicts, such as each parent desiring full custody of the children, it is unlikely a mediator will be able to lead them toward a compromise. Additionally, Hais notes, if one spouse has been dominant over another in relation to decision-making throughout the marriage, the mediator will have a difficult time overcoming that obstacle in order to reach a resolution. Yet, no matter the couple or the separation circumstances, Stange recommends everyone facing a divorce participate in at least one hourlong mediation session.

The Increasing Role of Technology and Social Media in Divorce
ficult to determine how digital assets and gadgets should be divided up in a divorce.
Stange Law Firm LLC Technology and social media are increasingly playing a role in divorce. Even just this past March the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers reported that in the past five years roughly 80 percent of divorces included some aspect of social media. Specifically, when looking at how social media is playing a role in divorce, outside of increasing the urge for infidelity and leading to a divorce, social media posts are frequently being submitted in child custody cases in order to try and call into question the other parent’s ability to care and raise children. For example, in one case a woman was ordered by a judge to disclose her Facebook password. This was after her husband found out she had posted to THE FACES OF LAW PAGE 32 SEPTEMBER 21, 2012
the site her feelings related to not being able to care for the couple’s children. In that same case, she was also ordered to disclose passwords for her online dating profile accounts. For the Missouri parent who is going through a divorce, what this means is to remember that even though Facebook and other social media sites may feel private, these sites are not and the information that winds up on them can end up being used either in a person’s favor -- or against them -- later on down the road. However, this is just one way that the digital age is playing a role in divorce. In our next article, we will focus on how it is becoming increasingly more dif-

LITTLE GEMS for
Fall Planting
LN LANDSCAPE
By Pat Raven and Julie Hess
E
very estate garden has a need for great space fillers—lawns, big beds of ground covers, masses of shrubs—but every garden needs little gems, too. Fall is the best time to slip in some of those magical little plants that add dimension to even the smallest of garden spaces. The seasonal catalogues are out now and it is time to sharpen your pencil, oops…keyboard, for the autumn plant order. My taste in favorites has been highly influenced by a little book written a long time ago by the late garden writer Elizabeth Lawrence. She lived a few blocks away from me in Charlotte when I was a child. Her lovely, richly layered city garden was graciously shared with the neighborhood kids. Her book, The Little Bulbs: A Tale of Two Gardens, was in manuscript before I was born, first published in 1957 and reprinted in 1986. My delight in reading her works and enjoying her garden as a child is one reason I garden and write about gardens today. The hot new plant varieties will not be in there, but the wisdom and well-structured prose are eternal and best served with a cup of hot tea.
BLUE MOON IN THE GARDEN
The hardest color to find in flowers is blue. A few rhododendrons may be on the blue side of purple, but those don’t favor our limestone soils. For us, blue must come in tiny doses of crocus, camassia, chinodoxa, hyacinth, star flower and squills. This is a great time of year to plant them, so if you have a yearning for a cool color in your garden, here are some recommendations: MUSCARI—GRAPE HYACINTHS
Low-growing grape hyacinths will naturalize well in the garden border. The best species for regular soil here is Muscari armeniacum and its double-flowered variety, ‘Blue Spike.’ They last well and will multiply over time for a good early-spring show. The cultivars of Muscari aucheriare are a bit more fussy, preferring a site in the rockery with excellent drainage. The variety ‘Blue Magic’ has been around a while, with a really clear blue flower cluster, and ‘Ocean Magic’ is a new selection with striking azure to marine blue flowers shading into white tips of unopened buds in hues evocative of a cresting wave. In addition to the magical shades of the inflorescences, the young foliage is shorter than the floral spikes and allows the blooms to be enjoyed more fully than older varieties. Great in nooks and crannies of the rock garden or in patio pots, this
hybrid needs sharply drained soil and will mire down if planted in heavy or poorly drained locations. If you have a well-drained location, a special treat is M. azurium. It has a true azure-blue flower spike, with short, broad foliage. According to Missouri Botanical Garden bulb specialist Jason Delaney, it is extremely fragrant. FALL BLOOMING BEAUTIES
The ‘autumn crocus’ is popular for ice blue, purple, lavender, rose and white flowers. The name makes it sound like one plant, but there are dozens and dozens of species and cultivars in several genera over two families that share this common name. The true crocus, aptly named Crocus, is found in the Iris family. The most famous species, Crocus sativus, the spring-blooming saffron crocus, has rich lilac lavender flowers and is found commonly from China to Asia Minor. It is cultivated for the bright orange stigmas that are used in cooking for tasty, aromatic dishes like paella and Persian sweet rice. There are many true Crocus species that bloom in the fall. Crocus speciosus has intense blue-violet flowers that look just like her spring flowering sisters and comes with a white selection called C. s. ‘Albus’ and a darker blue-purple called ‘Oxonian.’ Tiny corms are best planted in easy drifts of dozens. C. cartwrightianus ‘Albus’ is a white selection of a Mediterranean species that is normally found in shades of lavender. C. cartwrightianus is often called ‘wild saffron’ and may be found native in Crete, Greece and Turkey. C. ochroleucus offers slender, creamy white flowers with yellow shades deep in the throat. Crocus medius is a purple version, with light lavender petals around a deeper purple center. The reverse scheme, a pale lilac with a white eye and darker purple veins, may be found in C. kotschyanus. Crocus pulchellus ‘Zephyr’ sends up slender pear gray buds that open into large white blooms with bluish veins and blush around a warm orange heart. And for a lovely bi-color, try C. laevigatus ‘Fontenayi,’ with buds emerging creamy with purple striations and veins, and then opening to a lavender washed white with yellow center. Another ‘autumn crocus’ is not a true Crocus, but a handsome and elegant cousin in the genus Colchicum in the lily family. The foliage appears in the spring then dies back in the summer, much like the surprise lilies described below. The flowers sneak
out in the fall and appear magically like Easter eggs tucked under larger plants and in the nooks and crannies of the rock garden. ‘Violet Queen’ is one of the first to bloom, with rich amethyst purple blossoms reaching almost 7 inches in height. Our most common garden forms are the icy-lavender ‘Lilac Wonder,’ the rosy-lavender C. cilicicum species and the larger, fully double lilac pink ‘Waterlily’ with blooms that are taken for true waterlilies when floated in a bowl of water. LOVELY LYCORIS
Just about as rare as a blue moon in the garden is a naked lady. Common names—you gotta love ‘em. Also known as magic lily or surprise lily, these wonderful Lycoris bulbs produce leaves in the spring that disappear as summer dries out. In the early autumn, with no fanfare or foliage, the stately scapes spring forth from the dry leaf duff and explode into radiant circles of bloom on elegant stems 1 to 2 feet high. The most common species has buff pink blooms and dances in the wind. Add a glass of wine and you, too, might have come up with the name. Peter and I saw a magnificent Lycoris collection in full bloom last year in the botanical garden of Hangzhou, China. A slightly milder climate than ours, they can grow all of the 20 or so species of Lycoris, 15 of which are native to China. For our gardens, Delaney recommends Lycoris radiate var. pumila, with red flowers; L. chinensis, with golden orange flowers; L. springeri, with pale blue petal tips; and L. longituba, which shades from pure white to soft peachand every creamy shade in between. Another shade-on-shade beauty is L. incarnata, with wine purple stems shading into white petals. So take a break from our summer heat and sift through the catalogues to daydream about your cool, blue garden. Look for ‘Rhapsody in Blue,‘ ‘Bluebird’ asters, ‘Midnight’ baptisia, ‘Blue Danube,’ ‘Blue Heaven’ and ‘Blue Candle’ camassias or the oriental hyacinth that reminds me of my dear husband…sweet ‘Blue Eyes.’

ecent trends in health care have made it harder for some people to navigate the system and get the care they need. To make things easier and provide continuity of care, several types of services are filling the void. Dr. Daniel Gaitan, a personalized care physician, says the ‘concierge physician’ business model has allowed him to spend more time with his patients, providing them with better access and peace of mind. “It’s like when you were growing up and you had the doctor who also came over for dinner,” he says. “I have patients who bring me vegetables from their garden and I know about their kids. It’s the oldtime kind of medicine that, for the most part, doesn’t exist anymore.” Personalized care, otherwise known as the concierge physician model, originated about 10 years ago. It allows patients to pay an annual fee that entitles them to access to their physician 24 hours a day. The doctor generally sees fewer patients, giving him or her more time with each one. “I used to have 2,800 patients; now I may have about 400,” Gaitan says. “Where I used to see 25 patients a day, now I might see 12 a day, so I have more time with them.” If a patient calls with an illness, Gaitan sees them that day or the next day. He adds that his office arranges any appointments with specialists, and handles prescription fulfillment, streamlining the process for patients. Gaitan explains that since he is available to patients by phone or email 24 hours a day, patients will never end up seeing a doctor they don’t know in an emergency. “If I send someone to the emergency room, I go and meet them there,” he says. “Personalized care physicians also are less likely to send a patient to the hospital and be admitted. We can do a better job because of the time factor, which is critical.” Private duty nurses, or in-home caregivers, also can provide support for

seniors and their families. Mark Blum, co-owner of BrightStar’s West St. Louis County office, became interested in the field after helping his father in a sevenyear battle against COPD and emphysema. His business partner, Steve Fischer, staffed nurses for 10 years to help his own relatives. “Having a need for these services personally, we investigated the market and demographics. With 10,000 seniors turning 65 a day—and by 2020 they’re expecting more than 60 million—it’s a huge need that’s only going to keep growing,” Blum says. BrightStar provides a range of services, including companion care, personal care and skilled care, as well as tasks ranging from assistance with daily living, such as cooking and light housework, to medical care like blood sugar testing. “They’re going to be getting a highly skilled, compassionate caregiver that’s going to show up with a smile on their face and know what’s needed,” Blum says, adding, “Our director of nursing has gone out on every case and created a person-centered plan of care. She does a full head-to-toe assessment of the patient, so that the caregivers can go in and know what they need to do.” A plan of care and patient-centered approach also is central to success for Advanced Nursing Services of St. Louis, says owner Maggie Holtman. In many cases, private-duty caregivers fill the role of a family member if they can’t be there, she adds. “Many people don’t ever want to leave a family member alone in the hospital.

TANGENTIAL THINKER
Unreliable, secondhand gossip from around the world...* By Debbie Baldwin
The Kardashian matriarch was snapped last week at fashion week giving some love to former ‘NSYNC star Lance Bass. The pair was seated front row center for a runway show when Kris planted a smooch on the singer. Wait. I’m confused. Is there another fashion week? You know the one where famous people go? Jessica Simpson
After a rumored 70-plus-pound weight gain with her first pregnancy, the singer is being paid millions to be Weight Watchers’ celebrity spokesperson. Alarm bells sounded, however, when the first series of ads aired showing only Simpson’s face, hinting that she may not be making progress. Although, to be fair to Simpson, the company should have known they had a problem when she complained that she couldn’t find the point count for chili cheese fries.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
The Green Lantern co-stars pulled off the impossible: a secret wedding. The couple wed last week in front of 60 of their closest friends and family. The couple has been dating about a year, starting just after Blake’s rocky relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio ended. Reynolds was previously engaged to Alanis Morissette and briefly married to Scarlett Johansson. So, the next six to 10 months should be bliss. Shakira
Rumors are flying that the Colombian pop star and dancer is pregnant. It’s not the first time rumors like this have surfaced, but apparently people from her inner circle are confirming Shakira is several months’ pregnant with partner Gerard Piqué. And I, for one, know it’s true because I heard it from her hips… *so don’t quote me.

Dance Fever
By Debbie Baldwin
W
ell, it’s that time of year again. Cranky, 14, Whiny, 13, and Punch, 11, are back in school. But somehow, this year, things are a little bit different. It’s been brewing like a storm on the horizon, so I wasn’t shocked at the occurrence. I was, however, shocked by the enormity of it all. Suddenly, all three of them have cultivated a social life. A social life—I might add—that is much more time-consuming and entertaining than my own. There are limitless options for a tween/teen weekend: sports, movies, hanging out.
“
The desire for new penny loafers has faded into pondering if it’s acceptable to wear sneakers.
“
Kris Jenner
Occasionally, a kid will have parents brave enough to host a party—I think brave is the word I’m looking for—but in the end, things are as they have always been: The nucleus of young-teen socializing continues to be ‘the dance.’ For the first couple of years, dances are weird and exciting and fun. You dress up, get ready with your friends and stay up late. If you’re a boy, there will be girls there; and if you’re a girl, there will be boys. Although I am quickly learning that this is a very small window—especially for the boys. Whiny already has informed me that he will not be attending dances next year, and wishes I hadn’t signed him up for this year. Suddenly, wondering how his tie looks has morphed into complaining that ties are wildly uncomfortable. The desire for new penny loafers has faded into pondering if it’s acceptable to wear sneakers. Likewise, Punch has only been to one dance. He dressed up, wore a tie, sprayed some awful-smelling body spray all over himself, and had a really good time. Yet somehow, I got the distinct impression that if a better offer presented itself…I was vaguely reminded of my own middle-school dances where the boys would be dropped off, proceed directly to the bathroom, climb out the window and play basketball in the school yard until pickup. For girls, it seems to be a very different story. For Cranky, the dances become more involved over time. The dress—once almost a thoughtless uniform— becomes a full-time chore, with shopping and swapping and texting photos to friends and posting on Facebook. There are high heels and make-up. There are pre-parties and after-parties. Suddenly, I realize this lapse of interest among the boys may be temporary. Well, next week, it’s a new first: homecoming. I’m not sure what’s involved, but I’m hoping, at least, there is dancing.

Money Matters MOVIE REVIEW—ARBITRAGE By Debbie Baldwin
G
o see this movie. Frankly, I wouldn’t even waste my time reading this review. This is just a smart, gripping, well-acted film that is as entertaining as it is satisfying. I don’t want to set the bar too high—that always leads to disappointment—and perhaps I already have, but I haven’t seen a suspense thriller this good in years. It’s not perfect, but it’s close. Robert Miller (Richard Gere) is a master of the universe. He is a shark or a whale (or whatever the aquatic term for a Wall Street high-roller is). The film starts on his 60th birthday. He returns home from a business trip to his loving wife, Ellen (Susan Sarandon), adoring daughter, Brooke (Brit Marling), and a house filled with blissful children and grandchildren. He toasts them all, explaining that in all his years, he finally realizes family is the only important thing. Then he promptly dashes off to his mistress. Robert Miller’s life would be perfect, but for two minor details. 1) He is trying to conceal a $400-million loss from an external audit of his company in order to proceed with its sale and 2) he killed his mistress in a car accident and fled the scene. This movie is a real treat, and even surprises with moments of genuine humor. When the overzealous detective Bryer (Tim Roth) stops by Miller’s office to see him and the receptionist asks if he’s expected, his wry response is, possibly. Just go see it. I’ve already said too much.

ather than waste my time (and yours) on the Nth installment of the Resident Evil franchise or Finding Nemo 3D—which, by the way, is very similar to the original except that everything really comes at you—I thought I would help you out with some rental options. Here’s what’s out on DVD right now: Snow White and the Huntsman Honestly, if the director were going to have an affair with anybody in this cast, you would think it would be Charlize Theron, who is bone-chilling as the wicked queen. Unfortunately, the impassive Kristen Stewart deflates the entire film. It’s a 6.
The Five-Year Engagement This is a charming romantic comedy with an incredibly likeable cast. It’s not rocket science, but so what. Here, Emily Blunt and Jason Segel star as ambitious young lovers who just can’t seem to make it down the aisle. It’s a 7.
STORY: It’s 1927, and barnstorming pilot Billy Buck Chandler has his sights on being the first aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. While preparing for his anticipated fling with fame, Billy falls hard for Edythe Herbert, a one-time swimmer of the English Channel who now toils in the International Aquacade, overseen by supposed Russian Prince Nicolai Erraclyovitch Tchatchavadse. Edythe longs to escape the clutches of Prince ‘Nikki,’ but he has some compromising photos of her that compel her to continue performing for the highliving taskmaster. Can Billy accomplish his high-flying dream, and also find happiness with his newfound love? HIGHLIGHTS: STAGES St. Louis offers its first rendition
of this silly, splashy and sizzling work that is high on energy, dazzling footwork and the eminently hummable, Roaring Twenties melodies of the Gershwins. Michael Hamilton’s deft direction and musical staging and a likable cast combine to make My One and Only a smooth excursion down musical Memory Lane. OTHER INFO: The tissue-thin book by Peter Stone and
Timothy Mayer serves to bridge together a succession of classic Gershwin tunes such as ‘S Wonderful, Strike Up the Band, Funny Face, Kickin’ the Clouds Away and the title tune. That’s just fine, though, because this show is all about singing and dancing, and most especially the tap dancing prowess exhibited to Dana Lewis’ choreography. Tari Kelly has her moments to shine, too, as the elusive Edythe; and local favorites Steve Isom and Zoe Vonder Haar command the lion’s share of laughs as the humorously villainous Prince Nikki and Billy’s tough-talking, motivational mechanic Mickey, respectively. The stylish, urbane trio of C.K. Edwards, Richard Riaz Yoder and Borris York introduce various scenes with their smoothly choreographed, elegant entrances, while Larry Mabrey impresses as the slick Reverend J.D. Montgomery. Elder and Kelly make for an appealing couple to guide us on this merry mix of fun-loving romantic bits and highkicking choreography. Hamilton keeps everything moving briskly and seamlessly as Elder, Kelly and their cohorts cavort with nary a care in the world. More theater reviews available on laduenews.com. RATING: A 5 ON A SCALE OF 1-TO-5.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. If you missed your chance to see this in the theater, here’s your second chance. This is a heartwarming film about British retirees who movie to India, lured by the promise of a luxury retirement resort. It’s an 8. Bernie Jack Black and Shirley MacLaine star in this true story about a dark and comically twisted relationship between a bitter manipulative widow and a shy mortician. It’s an 8.

Pure Taste Perfection FARMHAUS By Sidney Lewis
F
armhaus opened just inside the city limits in 2010, offering fine food and a dedication to local purveyors, organic ingredients and sustainable agriculture. Since its debut, the restaurant and chef/owner Kevin Willmann have received all manner of local and national culinary accolades. On our last visit, we were reminded of why. Farmhaus is located in a small storefront on a fairly non-descript block, and the interior is as humble as the exterior. The vibe was very casual and comfortable, like a favorite neighborhood hangout, completely lacking in pretension. The space is small, and seating limited: Farmhaus only takes reservations for parties of four or less, so be advised when planning your own visit. The cocktail program at Farmhaus doesn’t get a lot of press, but it should. The drinks list featured plenty of creative concoctions, many made with house-made spirits infusions. We sipped on a Pimmski Breeze ($9), a refreshing combo of Pimm’s No. 1, Ski soda and cucumber, and a Quiet Shark ($9), which featured a cucumber-gin infusion, St. Germain and dry vermouth. The Farmhaus menu changes daily, depending on what captures Willmann’s fancy. We started our meal with the Summer Salad ($12), a flavorful overview of the season’s bounty that included grilled okra, corn and eggplant, sweet peppers,
cucumbers, roasted beets, and fresh goat’s milk cheese, courtesy of Baetje Farms. The salad came to the table in a jar with two pieces of crispy lavash across the top, a nice rustic touch. The Farmhaus take on the classic Scotch Egg ($13) was a complex amalgam of flavor and texture, with a soft, almost creamy farm-fresh egg complemented by the coarse housemade chorizo, and the whole dish brought together with a strong tomatillo sauce that almost veered into the realm of bitterness, but not quite. The Porchetta Steamed Buns ($10), were soft, chewy Asian-style buns filled with pork and topped with a cabbage kimchi that was tangy but not overly spicy. It balanced the fatty slices of meat nicely. The Pompano ($25) was a filet of mild fish, blackened just right, and served with creamed corn, fried okra, pickled green beans and an okra salad. The tangy beans were an ideal counterpoint to the buttery fish, and the fried okra was a real triumph. The pieces were tender, not tough, and fried with just the right amount of batter so as not to be doughy or gooey. The attention to every detail on the plate was truly impressive. For dessert, we had the Corn Cake ($10), delicately flavored cake and accompanied by nuggets of caramel corn, a piece of popcorn cake and a dollop of corn ice cream—all house-made. This creative maize tour-de-force was subtle and sweet and the nuances of flavor coaxed from the four corn-based components were not at all what we expected. The food at Farmhaus is a shining example of what can be achieved with the best ingredients, a lot of creativity and a little bit of TLC.

GREEN GOURMET WENNEMAN MEAT CO. By Diane Alt
A
bout 50 miles southeast of St. Louis rests a small Illinois village with a deep-rooted German heritage—dating back to 1834—called St. Libory. Almost 100 years later, John Wenneman purchased a small meat shop in 1927, which became the Wenneman Meat Co.—completely unaware of the legacy he had created, not only for his family and St. Libory proper, but for the region as a whole. After running the business for several decades, John sold the butcher shop to his sons, Bob and Jim, in 1974. And then in 2004, their nephew, Brad Schmitz, and another Wenneman employee, Paul Otten, took over. “My greatgrandpa, John Wenneman, started operating the business out of his home, and he did that for many years,” Schmitz explains. “In the 1970s, he built a retail store, and by that time, his two boys, Bob and Jim, were working with him and running a lot of the operations.” Schmitz says he started working at the butcher shop in 1987 as a clean-up boy after school and on weekends. “I was a freshman in high school, and I would get off the bus here at the store. During the summer, I would spend time working in other areas, finding out about the different processes. So, I really grew up here and learned how to do everything the right way.” According to Schmitz, Otten had a similar family history. His father, Charlie Otten, started his own butcher shop at Eckert’s. “So, Paul grew up in that atmosphere, as well,” Schmitz notes. Wenneman Meat Co. is known for its premium cuts of meat, seafood and deli, and Schmitz points out that “we don’t take shortcuts or use fillers, additives or preservatives in any of our products. In this day and age, I believe that says a lot because it’s very tough to find anymore.” He continues to explain that their company’s products are fresh. “When you come in to our store to purchase pork chops, chances are, they will only be a day or two old, as opposed to pork sold in a grocery store, which is likely three or four weeks old before it is even cut.” In all likelihood, many St. Louisans have experienced a Wenneman’s product at some
point. The meat company currently has about 550 accounts—many in the St. Louis area— including Ladue Market, Global Foods Market, Baumann’s Fine Meats, The Wine Merchant, Big Sky Cafe, Coastal Bistro & Bar and Herbie’s Vintage 72 . The company uses local farmers for its beef and pork, and Schmitz reports a healthy working relationship with the growers. “What’s really nice about it is that, since they are working for us, we can control everything right down to their feed program,” he says. “We can specify what they are allowed to do and what they are not—for instance, not using hormones and not using antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. We feel like the feed program we have developed produces choice beef and good-quality, tender pork. The taste certainly goes back to how the animals were raised.” Another popular offering at the butcher shop is its housemade sausage. “Because we are located in a German community, a lot of our products have a German heritage or base for our recipes,” Schmitz notes, adding that they continue to use recipes that have been passed down through the generations. “We have more than 100 different types of sausages that we make, and we have our own curing and smoking operation, so we offer a lot of readyto-eat products, as well.” While Wenneman Meat Co. has continued to expand steadily through time, it has been under Schmitz and Otten’s watch that the midsize operation with 40 employees has undergone substantial growth. Not even an unforeseen catastrophe in 2011 could derail their hard work and careful planning. “We had a fire on Jan. 27, 2011, and our building burned to the ground. There was nothing left—nothing from our entire operation was salvageable,” Schmitz says. “But the fire is not a sore subject anymore, because we now have a new facility that is fabulous—everything is state-of-the-art. Our retail space is now twice its original size and much more customer friendly. It really ended up being a blessing for us.” And many might agree for St. Libory and the region, too. LADUENEWS.COM

Picture this: Step from your master suite onto the terrace and begin any about the vice presidency. And it just happened to be someone—for better or worse—who made this the major issue he studies.” Nobody knows if the man passed his citizenship test, but like anyone who has spent much time talking with Goldstein on the topic, he probably went away with much more information than he could ever possibly use. We’ve been talking for about 45 minutes and I can tell there are likely more interviewers waiting in the wings. After the election, however, Professor Goldstein knows his rock-star status will likely take a four-year hiatus. And besides, it’s almost November and the garbage is starting to pile up. He’s way too smart to let that happen.

with hand problems, and that doesn’t necessarily mean surgery is part of the equation,” Boyer says. “We treat patients in the simplest, best way based on that patient’s needs and our understanding of the condition that we’ve diagnosed.” In addition to Drs. Boyer and Goldfarb, the center also includes Department of Orthopedic Surgery chairman Dr. Richard Gelberman, as well as Drs. Ryan Calfee and Dan Osei. Dr. Lindley Wall will join the practice in 2013. “We all have areas of interest, so even if I see a patient whose problem is not my specialty, it’s seamless to have that patient connect with the other doctors to not have their care start from zero,” Boyer says. “We have conferences together, go over journal articles together, do research together—we do everything except live together. We even operate together if there’s a certain case that demands a greater level of expertise. The patient is well served by having all of us participate.”

everything that goes on. It’s not anything against the hospital, but people like that extra comfort zone, so that if they wake up in the middle of the night, there’s someone there. They have one patient, and that’s the patient they’re taking care of.” The services can be especially helpful in poor economic times, when families are pitching in more to help each other. “It’s not easy to take care of a sick family member,” she adds. Often, the company starts working with a client for just a few hours a week, which can escalate to round-theclock care, if necessary, Holtman says. “We keep the same group of nurses on a client, which is something people like about us,” she adds. When it comes to caring for someone who is sick, Holtman stresses, the biggest key is trust. “You’ve got to maintain their trust. We are what we say we are; it’s not just a lot of talk. I want people to know they can trust me.”
