EDITOR’S NOTE

WHAT REMINDS YOU OF HOME? TO THE MANY ST. LOUISANS TRANSplanted across the country and around the world, one yearning I hear about the most is for the food. Whether it be St. Louis-style pizza, toasted ravioli, gooey butter cake or Ted Drewes, there is nothing that relives the memory of home like its signature fare. Fortunately for us here, the many tastes of home are just a farmers’ market or grocery store away. This week’s expanded Dining section features ‘Constant Cravings,’ which highlights only-in-St. Louis foodstuff like The Caramel House caramels, Bissinger’s chocolates, Companion bread and sauce from Bittersweet Artisan Truffles. For this piece, we asked the people behind these products to provide us with a recipe that home cooks can try in the comfort of their own kitchen. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate St. Louis, as well as the small-business owners and entrepreneurs who invest in the city we call home! Our Constant Cravings feature begins on p. 69.

‌ hat’s your Cardinals W post-season prediction? FRANK CUSUMANO BOTH THE NATIONALS AND DODGERS are better on paper. However, the games are played on the field. If Waino is Gibson and Holliday is Pujols, they have a shot—and those things are not far-fetched.

DR. JOSEPH KAHN I PREDICT THAT THE CARDINALS’ BATS will come alive, the pitching will stay strong, and we’ll beat Pujols, Freese and the Angels in seven games in the World Series!

ONE OF MY EARLIEST MEMORIES IS OF my grandfather listening to Jack Buck on a transistor radio. As a lifelong Cardinals fan, I’m optimistic that they’ll do us proud in the World Series every year, and I’ve often been right! This year is no exception. I expect the Retweet CardinalsTwitter to go all the way!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

BY DIANE ANDERSON

HE WOMEN’S FOUNDATION OF Greater St. Louis chose author Liz Murray as its keynote speaker for this year’s annual Making a Difference event. Murray’s book, Homeless to Harvard, is the story of how she overcame homelessness as a teen, and later received a full-ride scholarship to Harvard University. She is now a sought-after inspirational speaker. In addition, local philanthropist Valerie Bell received the Making a Difference Award for 2014. Bell, a graduate of both Princeton and Harvard universities, has chosen to devote all of her professional time, on a pro bono basis, to organizations and initiatives that strive to enhance educational opportunity, improve race relations, and foster economic parity in St. Louis. Jane Langa and Deb Zimmerman served as co-chairs for the evening. More photos on page 80

OME OF ST. LOUIS’ BEST CHEFS came together to create dishes using local produce to benefit Gateway Greening’s 17th annual Chefs in a Garden fundraiser. Gateway Greening is a local nonprofit that educates and empowers people to strengthen their communities through gardening and urban agriculture. More than 300 supporters attended the event, which featured a silent and live auction, and a program centered on the organization’s 30th anniversary.

Care is connected to The Gatesworth, helping loved ones requiring different levels of attention the opportunity to remain together in close-knit surroundings. “If a husband needs skilled nursing, but his wife doesn’t, she can stay in independentliving and he can stay in skilled-nursing, and they can still see each other every day,” explains Glenda Knittel, administrator for McKnight Place Extended Care. “And a lot of times, our residents do not drive anymore, so their spouse can easily walk over to see them without having to worry about transportation.” The extended-care community also offers short-term rehabilitation stays for those requiring assistance after an illness or surgery. “They can even spend a short time with us at skilled nursing, then bounce back to their independent apartment,” Knittel notes. Like The Gatesworth, the McKnight Place staff treats residents like family, Knittel says. It’s

Among event highlights, former president and CEO of Wells Fargo Advisors, Danny Ludeman, and his wife, Susan, will be honored for their contributions to the organization and the community. The Ludemans became involved with the organization in January. “From the very first meeting, my heart ached for this population,” Ludeman says. “We all make mistakes. But the problem is, when these individuals come out of prison, they really do have this big scarlet letter. Whether they have been out of incarceration for five, 10 or 20 years, they need a safety net to help get them on their feet, get positive role models, and get in a direction where they can build productive and successful lives.” Many of Project COPE’s clients have faced poverty, homelessness, joblessness and other difficult challenges. In response, the organization stands ready to support previously incarcerated Continued on page 81

ach year, 2,700 prisoners are released back into the St. Louis area. Without any support system in place, about two-thirds of them are likely to re-offend and return to prison within three years. But Project COPE is changing those statistics—and changing lives. For those who receive assistance from the nonprofit, only 4 percent re-enter prison within a three-year period, contributing to the success and safety of the entire community. For almost 30 years, Project COPE has provided transitional housing, case-management services, programming, and mentoring to men and women returning from incarceration. Through a 12-month program, the organization’s staff and congregational-based mentor teams have helped hundreds of previously incarcerated individuals successfully reintegrate into the community. To raise funds to expand its services, Project COPE will host its 29th annual Celebrating Second Chances gala on Nov. 1 at Saint Louis Zoo’s Living

Regrouping After the Recession BY LISA WATSON

SLUGGISH ECONOMY HAS hurt nonprofits since the recession—with cutbacks in government funding, a decrease in giving from both small and large donors, and increased demand, especially for nonprofits in the social services. But according to a survey from The Rome Group of St. Louis, that trend has started a turnaround, with almost three-quarters of local nonprofits reporting that they met their 2013 fundraising goals, and twothirds reporting an increase in funds raised over 2012. Those percentages are the highest since 2007, notes Rome Group founder and principal Amy Rome. “People are more comfortable now with the recent recession sort of behind us,” suggests Rome. “During that time, people had less, and there was less confidence in the economy. Because people understand that during the recession, nonprofits had to cut back on staff and make a lot of changes,

donors recognize the need. Now, they are able to step back up to the table, and maybe do even more than they had in the past.”

Numbers for 2014 fundraising aren’t yet clear, since one-third of all fundraising occurs during the holiday season, Rome notes. But according to The Rome Group’s survey, 60 percent of local nonprofits think they can raise more funds this year than they did in 2013. That’s in-sync with donors: 92 percent of institutional grant makers said they planned to give as much or more in 2014 compared to 2013, while 70 percent of individual donors in the survey said they would give an equal amount or increase their donations. “The benefits seem to be across the board,” Rome says. “The responses reflected a confidence across all sectors of nonprofits, from human services to arts, education and health. Everybody was feeling better about how things are going.” The improvements seem to be greatest for larger nonprofits, she notes. “It’s still hard for smaller organizations that don’t necessarily have the capacity of the larger ones; but overall, people are Continued on page 81

SINCE LAUNCHING HIS LABEL IN 2008, JOSEPH ALTUZARRA HAS GONE from promising newcomer to one of the most exciting names in New York fashion. He is known for his intense desire to make women look sexy, confident and strong, with a style that is representative of his French and Chinese heritage. And his fall line is one that has everyone buzzing. Wearable looks that flatter the body and mix a variety of fabrics, Ken Downing of Neiman Marcus says, “Joseph Altuzarra’s long, lean silhouettes are seriously sexy.” Merging the look of American functionality with the feel of French sophistication, Altuzarra is sure to become one of the great American fashion houses.

What’s News in Fashion BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

LOOK OUT, LOVERS OF PREPPY FASHION: That well-known smiling pink whale is coming to St. Louis. From neckties to shirt dresses, popular brand vineyard vines stocks a variety of colorful, classic pieces for men, women and children. Brothers Shep and Ian Murray, co-founders and CEOs of vineyard vines, traded in Manhattan-office life for Martha’s Vineyard-inspired fashion in the 1990s. The first selection of products—800 neckties in 1998—sold out within one week. The company has since grown at a rapid pace and now has products in more than 600 shops across the globe, as well as more than 40 vineyard vines stores, a catalog and a web store. “vineyard vines is all about Every Day Should Feel This Good,” says Shep. “We want to dress our customers for all of their feel-good moments, whether that is a day spent boating or hosting a holiday party full of family and friends.” The St. Louis location is set to open in Plaza Frontenac in mid-November. “St. Louis has been on our radar for a long time,” Ian says. “We have had amazing feedback from our St. Louis customers

Ian and Shep Murray, vineyard vines CEOs and co-founders

and social media fans, who are sharing their Every Day Should Feel This Good moments with us. We’re truly looking forward to becoming part of St. Louis’ family-oriented community.” Shep says that customers can expect to be greeted warmly at the new shop, as well as have a place to rest their feet, charge their phone, use the

restroom and have some water. “In all our stores, we try to create a feeling of community and welcoming,” he says. “The store will be filled with men’s, women’s and children’s clothing and accessories, and will feature nautically themed decor.” A nautical theme doesn’t make the brand coastexclusive, as Ian says the element of fun transcends the coastal lifestyle, regardless of location. “We love that our clothes allow our customers to inject a little fun into their everyday lives, whether that be through one of our whimsically printed ties, or the perfect sundress for a backyard BBQ.”

CRESCENT COAST EVEN THE COASTS SEE COOLER TEMPS DURING THE WINTER months, and beach-inspired boutique Crescent Coast has the duds sealovers need to stay warm. Though the store (which caters to men, women and young boys) has only been open for less than a year, it already has gained a strong reputation for its relaxed atmosphere, littoral necessities and hard-to-find brands. Now that fall has arrived, the store has begun stocking fresh finds that are practical for Midwest winters, while still evoking a shoreline vibe. “We have cashmere sweaters, and other blends for those who are allergic, as well as great vests and outerwear jackets,” owner Terry Warner says. “I have faux fur and real fur vests on the ladies side; and come spring, we’ve picked up a really popular brand of outerwear that I can’t name yet, but will definitely take us down into the very cool temperatures.” For the lucky ones who are planning winter trips to sunnier climates, Crescent Coast will carry resort wear for both males and females, including bathing suits and cover ups. “We are constantly bringing in new merchandise and picking up lines to expand our variety,” Warner says. “I’ve been shopping all over, north, south, east and west, trying to bring different products to the area, things that you don’t see everywhere else.” 169 Carondelet Plaza Mon.-Fri.: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sat.: 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Life at the Top By Julia Christensen

‌ oes anything say luxury D living at its finest quite like life in the penthouse? See what’s available now.

Penthouse rendering at The Chase Park Plaza

4545 Lindell Ave.

Penthouse at The Chase Park Plaza Ready for construction “It is at the top of the building with an unencumbered, exceptional, 360-degree view,” says Lea Luchetti, Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, of this ready-to-be-customized 27th floor property. “This is the first time this space is being offered—in its 90-plus year history—to be purchased as a residence. In the past, it was used for apartments and a ballroom.” The space is 4,500 square feet; Luchetti notes that a second floor could be added, bringing the available space up to 7,000 square feet.

Penthouse at 4545 Lindell Ave. Ready for construction “It’s an opportunity for someone to design a complete custom home with everything that they would like to have—and a phenomenal rooftop terrace space,” says Christine Cool of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Alliance Real Estate, noting that this penthouse is the last remaining unit available in the 33-residency boutique building. “It’s a two-story space; the home looks northwest and has an unobstructed northern view.” The 2,830-square-foot penthouse features direct elevator access and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, she adds.

Penthouse at the Continental Life Building Ready for occupancy The unit atop this Art Deco building is available for rent. “When you open the door, you have a ‘reception foyer’ and then a grand staircase that goes up and has this large landing, then another set of stairs that brings you to the unit— it’s this gorgeous focal point,” says Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Alliance Real Estate’s Julie Rupert, who, along with Joann Rupert and Julie Steurer, is the listing agent on the property. “It has two large terraces that are private: one off the kitchen and one off the other end of the hall.”

PERSONAL SHOPPERS

Head-to-Toe Perfection

PHOTO BY SARAH CONARD‌

T’S SAFE TO ASSUME THAT WHEN YOU visit a high-end department store, the staff will go the extra mile to make the shopping experience a memorable one. But if you’re looking for a bit of extra attention—whether it’s help finding a gown for an upcoming gala, seeking out versatile styles to complete your suitcase for a trip to the coast, or a complete seasonal wardrobe overhaul—a number of local stores offer designated personal shoppers who can lend their undivided attention to your search. Mary Beth Fossell is one of Neiman Marcus’ personal shoppers, and has been with the company for 30 years. “Everybody likes to have a friend they know and trust,” Fossell says. “I’m friends with the majority of my clients from being their personal shopper—and they want to have a friend with them while they shop,” she says. “My clients know I won’t tell them everything looks great on them. The client knows when they look good. You can see it in their face when they look in the mirror and like what they see.” Every appointment is different, Fossell adds— sometimes, a client will call looking for a seasonal wardrobe refresher; other times, it might be to enjoy mimosas while shopping for an outfit to wear

to a celebration; or they might just need her to run out to their car with a tube of lipstick on their way to a special event. Anna Spector, a personal shopper at Saks Fifth Avenue, agrees. “I’m basically an objective opinion, and I think that everybody could use that. The way a client looks is a direct reflection of me, as well; I’m invested in making sure you look and feel your best.” Personal shoppers can help the fashion-savvy, as well as clients who don’t follow every latest trend, adds Spector, who has been with Saks for two years after a previous career as ANNA SPECTOR, owner of a local boutique. “I’m Saks Fifth Avenue

TREND ALERT Our experts at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue also dished about their favorite looks for fall: Anna Spector, Saks Fifth Avenue “It’s the year of the sneaker. I also love elevating the legging look. Go for leather if you love the comfort and ease of leggings, and pair them with a great-looking tennis shoe. Chanel and Valentino have some very cool sneakers this season.” Mary Beth Fossell, Neiman Marcus

Anna Spector of Saks Fifth Avenue

not as interested in making sure they’re following current trends, and dressing them the way fashion editors and bloggers are dictating. I make it right for their lifestyle and incorporate modernity and trends, even if it’s not done exactly the way that’s dictated on the runway.” One of the biggest misconceptions about personal shoppers, our experts tell us, is that they can’t afford it. “Anyone can afford a personal

stylist: It’s free!” says Ashley Obradovits, personal stylist manager at Nordstrom St. Louis Galleria. “We will always respect your budget and help you get the most out of it. There is never any pressure to buy anything we show you. We want you to look and feel amazing!” And the biggest benefit that most customers notice is the ongoing relationship with the stylist, our experts agree. Fossell notes that she keeps an

eye out for new items that fit her clients’ taste, and sends them pictures of things they’ve been looking for as they arrive in the store. She adds that this is especially helpful for clients who don’t live near a Neiman Marcus. “Our stylists are experts across the store and can be the go-to person for anything you need,” Obradovits says. “They will be your Nordstrom insider and keep you posted on special events, sales and new product. Once the customer sees how beneficial it is to have another set of eyes shopping for you, they can’t imagine shopping any other way.”

“The latest in color is all shades of gray, with touches of blues and greens. There’s also a particular suede legging by Lafayette that I’m just in love with.”

The Fanciest Cars ‌The luxury car—while it’s a phrase used to describe many vehicles, some clearly stand out from the rest. Here are some show-stopping showroom gems:

By Julia Christensen

Jaguar F-Type Jaguar’s new sports car, according to Plaza Jaguar GM Jim Allmeroth, debuted its convertible model in 2014, with the coupe to follow for the 2015 model year. “It’s going back to their natural heritage of the sports cars Jaguar used to make in the past.” The F-Type features a 50-percent recycled aluminum construction, he says, which lightens the weight and resource impact. “They’re trying to make a good footprint in the industry.”

PHOTOS BY Sarah Conard‌

1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition Countach is considered the most-photographed car in history, says president of Exotic Motors M idwest Danny Baker. “It’s very dramatic…When it came out, it looked like a spaceship on wheels.” Baker states that this is probably the nicest anniversary Countach in existence, calling it museum-quality (with 4,000 miles). A total of 650 of these models were made, and Baker says less than 100 remain in the United States. “I challenge anybody to find a nicer one.”

Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB Graham Hill, president of St. Louis Motorcars, says he has a hard time picking just one car, as the company carries seven luxury brands. But he says it’s hard to beat the Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB. “It’s a car you can drive yourself, but also can be chauffeured in,” he says, adding the car’s roomy rear area comes standard with electric curtains, large TVs, tables, lambswool rugs and more. “What makes this particular car very interesting is they only import about five of these cars a year in the United States.”

INFLUENZA

Help Them Fight the Flu BY DR. JOSEPH KAHN

HE FLU SEASON SOON WILL BE HERE. Unlike the stomach ‘flu,’ or stomach virus, influenza is a respiratory illness characterized by sudden onset of fever, muscle aches, cough, sore throat, headache and runny nose. Many people say they feel like they’ve been hit by a truck. If you’ve had the flu, you might never again refer to a stomach bug as the flu. While children sometimes have a stomach ache and vomiting with the flu, adults generally don’t. Complications such as ear infections and bacterial pneumonia can follow the flu. Major symptoms generally go away in three to seven days, although the cough and run-down feeling can linger for up to two weeks. Children younger than 6 months old are often much more

severely affected and are more likely to require hospitalization. Influenza is often difficult to distinguish from other viral illnesses, although offices, ERs and urgent-care clinics may use rapid tests to diagnose influenza types A and B. We’ve all heard the statistics, but it still amazes me that approximately 36,000 deaths annually are

due to influenza, often in patients with chronic underlying conditions. Influenza tends to be much more severe and likely to cause complications in younger children, patients with underlying chronic illnesses such as asthma and heart problems, and the elderly. Although antibiotics are of no use in treating uncomplicated influenza, doctors can prescribe antiviral medicine to shorten the duration of the illness. It doesn’t cure the flu and hasn’t been shown to reduce the incidence of complications, but merely shortens the duration of symptoms by one or two days. However, it must be started within 48 hours of the first symptom. The antiviral medicine has its greatest impact on those patients most at-risk of complications, with chronic underlying medical conditions or sick enough to require hospitalization. It also can be used, in certain limited circumstances, to prevent influenza in those exposed to the illness. The good news is that influenza can be prevented. Get a flu vaccination!

THE NATIONAL CHILDREN’S CANCER SOCIETY

To A Cure and Beyond

Q&A with Julie Komanetsky

H E NAT I O NA L C H I L D R E N ’S Cancer Society (NCCS) in St. Louis believes every child with cancer deserves every chance to live. Founded in 1987 by president and CEO Mark Stolze to help children in need of bone marrow transplants, the nonprofit has expanded its services through the years to provide financial, emotional and educational resources for families facing cancer. Since its inception, the organization has provided almost $60 million in direct financial assistance to more than 35,000 kids nationwide. To bolster its mission, the NCCS will host the annual Alvin K. Stolze Humanitarian Award Dinner on Oct. 25 at The Sheldon Concert Hall. Local leaders Lynn Britton (president and CEO of Mercy), Dr. Robert Bergamini (of Mercy Children’s Hospital), and Larry Otto (president of Bank of America in Missouri), will be honored for supporting young cancer patients; and the evening’s entertainment will be provided by nationally acclaimed comedian Frank Caliendo and St. Louis jazz singer Denise Thimes. Julie Komanetsky, NCCS vice-president of patient and family services, spoke with LN about the organization’s unique programs impacting young cancer patients and their families across the globe. Describe the impact of NCCS in St. Louis and around the world. Last year, we helped 4,000 families. In a survey of families, we found 97 percent have suffered financially because of their child’s diagnosis and treatment. Of course, there are many trips to the hospital and inpatient stays. And, oftentimes, there are single-parent households, or it requires one parent to stop working for a period of time. Tell us about your programs. We help transport

kids to treatment all over the country. We have really great children’s hospitals to treat local families here, but sometimes children need to be seen somewhere else. We also provide emergency funds for meals and other household expenses for families with kids in treatment for long period of time. And we offer education through our Beyond the Cure Survivorship Program. Share more about the Beyond the Cure Survivorship Program. More kids are surviving cancer than ever before, as treatment has improved and research has found better options for them. There are 380,000 survivors across the country; and for about two-thirds of them, their treatment causes long-term effects: Some kids may struggle cognitively, some may be infertile, some suffer from chronic fatigue or heart issues. So our Beyond the Cure program prepares parents, and ultimately, the survivors, to handle those challenges, offering them preventive things so it doesn’t have to be something that hinders them. Ultimately, it’s about education and advocacy to handle life after cancer—because they have a new normal. We also do conferences here and around the country to educate parents and survivors. And we have a website that provides all the different late effects of treatment—Dr. Robert Hayashi at St. Louis Children’s Hospital collaborated with NCCS to create an assessment tool so parents can go into the system and list what diagnosis their child had, click on all the drugs that apply to their child, and see what the child might be at risk for, what to watch for, what preventive medicines to take, what type of doctors to follow up with—all for the sake of keeping these kids healthy and helping them move on with their lives. What other ways do you help kids after cancer? We also have our Beyond the Cure Scholarship Program. A lot of these kids have

MISSOURI EATING DISORDERS ASSOCIATION

Awareness & Early Intervention HEN ANNIE SEAL’S oldest daughter was in high school, she was diagnosed with an eating disorder. A l t h o u g h t h e te e n wasn’t showing signs of extreme weight loss that are typically associated with such disorders, Seal had noticed unexplainable extreme mood swings. “For a long time, I thought my daughter was just a teenager,” Seal says. “She was just not herself. My sweet girl was gone, and in her place was someone I didn’t recognize who was emotional, moody and always unhappy. It was beyond the normal adolescent; but she was my oldest, so I thought maybe this is really how adolescents behave.” Seal brought her daughter to a pediatrician, who was unable to accurately diagnose the cause. Then, they visited a specialist, and that is when Seal’s daughter was finally diagnosed so she could receive treatment for her disease. That was seven years ago, and today, that young woman is fully cured. Not everyone is that lucky,

however, notes Seal, who is president of the board at the Missouri Eating Disorders Association (MOEDA). Eating disorders affect 10 percent of the population—across all ages, genders and socioeconomic levels—and have a mortality rate of 20 percent, Seal explains. “If parents can take it seriously and get into action like they would if their kid had cancer or another serious, complex illness, we would save families a lot of hardship.” MOEDA is striving to make families more aware of the serious consequences of this family of diseases through its educational workshop, Real Skinny, which is offered to educators and students in St. Louis metro-area schools. “Most people know eating disorders exist, but most people don’t know that they are the most fatal of all mental illnesses, and they’re extremely serious and complex,” Seal says. “We’re trying to educate coaches, counselors, school nurses and educators about eating disorders, so that when they see it, they can help the person who may be suffering get a professional diagnosis and work with the family

Medical Matters My mother recently had her blocked coronary arteries treated with a stent. Am I at risk for developing this kind of heart disease? Is stenting the only way to treat it?

Blockages of the coronary arteries (coronary artery disease) are caused by the build up of fatty plaque in the wall of the arteries of the heart. Individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and those who smoke, are sedentary or have a strong family history of coronary artery disease are at the greatest risk of developing coronary artery disease.

David L. Brown, MD

Annie Seal

Coronary artery disease is often initially detected when a patient has an abnormal stress test that indicates the heart muscle is not getting enough blood during stress. Many patients with abnormal stress tests are referred for a coronary angiogram to determine if the coronary arteries are blocked. If significant blockage is found, a stent may be placed at that time. A stent is a small metallic scaffold that is expanded in the coronary artery at the site of a blockage to compress the plaque and thereby increase blood flow to the heart muscle. It is placed through hollow tubes inserted in the arteries of the leg or arm and advanced to the heart in a procedure referred to as cardiac catheterization.

should be treated as a medical emergency, in most cases with a stent, to reduce the risk of death and/or to limit the size of a heart attack. However, current research has shown that stenting of blockages that are not causing an acute heart attack does not reduce the risk of death or heart attack and should not be the initial treatment. Medical treatment with drugs that thin the blood such as aspirin, drugs that lower cholesterol (the “statin” class of drugs) and drugs that lower blood pressure are just as good at preventing death and heart attack as stents— without the complications associated with the invasive stent procedure. If the blockage is causing chest pain (at rest or with minimal exertion that cannot be attributed to another cause) and is not relieved by medications, stenting is generally helpful at reducing or eliminating symptoms. Lifestyle modification such as weight loss, exercise and smoking cessation should be part of any strategy to prevent or treat coronary artery disease.

Blockages causing an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) or a threatened heart attack (unstable angina)

Happy (and Healthy) Flight! Millions of Americans travel for business purposes, and staying healthy is important to making the most of any trip. Jayne McAllister of Jayne McAllister Travel Wellness works with companies across the country to help ensure that employees have all the tips and tools they need to minimize the risk of becoming ill while traveling. She recently shared some advice with LN. Are business travelers more likely to become sick than those traveling for pleasure, or are the risks the same? Frequent business travelers appear to be more likely than leisure travelers to be exposed to airborne and other diseases simply because of the number of trips taken. That said, research in this important area is sorely lacking. Two factors strongly influence the propensity to get sick while traveling: The traveler’s general health condition, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The latter is more likely to happen with the frequent traveler simply by being on an airplane as many times in a month as the leisure traveler might be in a year. The traveler with the stronger immune system who works out on a regular basis and eats a healthy and varied diet full of antioxidants is less likely to get sick, whether they are traveling for business or leisure. Travel itself is stressful, and for many people work also is stressful. How much of a role does stress play in travelers’ propensity to get sick on the road? There isn’t any research currently that shows a correlation between travel stress and getting sick. A meaningful study about travel stress was conducted in 2012 by Carlson Wagon Lit group. The study identified 33 stress triggers for business travelers, with the main ones being lost or delayed luggage (79 percent), poor Internet connection at destination (77 percent), flying economy on medium/long haul flights (73 percent), and delays (72 percent). Are those traveling by air more likely to come down with colds, etc., due to the close quarters with strangers? If so, what are some tactics for avoiding communicable disease when crammed into a plane for hours? It’s not just the close quarters, it’s the quality of the air that is recycled through the cabin. I hate to say this, but it’s even worse in coach where more people are sharing the air. To help avoid disease, the basics would be washing your hands as frequently as possible, carrying wipes to clean your tray table and ends of the arm rests, and keeping the air vent above your seat open. Internally, keep your ear, nose and throat passages as open as possible. You want to avoid mucus build-up and swelling of these orifices. Be sure to swallow frequently or suck a mint during

Q&A

with Jayne McAllister

Reducing Business Travel Stress As noted, travel-related stress may impact health and wellness. McAllister offers a stress-reduction checklist: • Recognize signs of stress: Understand yourself enough to know what your stress triggers are. Common ones are delays or lost luggage. Learning to let go of what you can’t control will make a huge difference to your overall wellbeing. • Don’t wear stress as a badge of honor: There’s a bit of a tendency to chest thump and say, “I’ve been to six countries in the last five days and only slept for four hours.” Travelers should be seeking ways to decrease stress, not increase it. • Take time for yourself: This is where business travelers laugh, having convinced themselves that they have absolutely no time for themselves. Even if it means turning off all devices and napping for 10 minutes—that can go a long way. If your hotel has a decent bath tub, use it for a soak. Close your eyes and daydream while the plane is descending. I call this “finding space in a crowded place.” • Exercise: The best stress reliever there is.

landing. Avoid alcohol, which causes your mucous and eustachian tubes to swell, and use a natural decongestant. I sniff a sachet of lavender to keep my nasal passages open. Also, practice breathing exercises, preferably away from other people. Inhale through your nose for five counts, exhale through your mouth for five counts. Inhaling as much ‘good’ air as you can sets you up for exhaling all the ‘bad’ air. Seek out fresh air before you fly and when you land, and repeat this exercise. How can a frequent traveler manage to maintain a healthy diet while on the road? Planning ahead will keep you in control and take the guessing out of meal decisions while you’re away. Check out airport eateries online so you take the guess work out of selecting the healthiest items. Make sure you have a refrigerator in your hotel room so you can pick up breakfast supplies and healthy snacks once you reach your destination. If you’re flying long-haul, order a special meal such as Hindu vegetarian or low-carb. You’ll have a more nutritious meal with more vegetables, less fat and sugar. Once you have an open menu in front of you, start by mentally eliminating all unsuitable items from the menu. That means anything with the words cream, fried, cheese—or all three. Crowd out your plate with extra orders of veggies and eat continued on page 81

• Get fresh air: We’re inside way too much. Going outside for a walk or just to soak up some vitamin D is a great way to decompress. • Get to your destination the night before your meeting: This helps eliminate so many stress factors, especially delays. You get a good night’s sleep, enjoy breakfast and have time to prepare yourself for your day. • Book nonstop flights as often as possible and avoid peak travel times. • Breathe: Breathing exercises calm the fightor-flight response of the sympathetic nervous system. It’s the simplest tactic to reduce stress, it’s easy to do and it’s free. • Avoid red-eye flights. • Don’t overbook: You have to find ways to make time for yourself by eliminating all unnecessary engagements. • Find social support while away: There are social network sites geared especially towards business travelers so you can hook up with like-minded people and explore the local culture or entertainment. • Stay positive always—it’s the only way to be.

COLD SORES

A Strategy for Prevention BY CONNIE MITCHELL

ORE THAN HALF OF ALL AMERICANS have been infected by the herpes simplex type 1 virus, and that means that lots of people can get cold sores—the unsightly and potentially painful blisters that break out on the lips or surrounding skin. There is no way to eradicate the virus from your system once you’ve been infected, but there are strategies for preventing these viral outbreaks. “First, you have to understand that the fluid in these blisters is very infectious, so don’t touch them,” says Dr. Divya Chauhan, a family physician with Creve Coeur Family Medicine and on staff at St. Luke’s Hospital. “You can reinfect yourself and infect others. Sharing utensils and kissing also should be avoided until the cold sore has healed completely.” The sores are more likely to form when the body is immunosuppressed, Chauhan adds. Infection, chronic illness and stress all can trigger the outbreaks. “For people who have frequent outbreaks, they can be prevented by anti-viral medications, which can be prescribed by your

doctor,” notes Dr. Keya Hindia of Mercy Clinic Internal Medicine. Treatment usually is simple: Over-the-counter medications can help quell the outbreak. If this does not seem to be working, your primary-care physician can assess the symptoms and prescribe medication. “These medications need to be started as soon as your symptoms begin, to help shorten the duration of your symptoms,” Hindia says. “Make sure you contact your health-care professional as soon as you begin having symptoms of a cold sore, such as lip tingling, itching or a blister.” Cold sores should not be confused with canker sores, which are shallow ulcers that develop inside the mouth. Canker sores can occur after an injury to the soft tissue of the gums or cheeks, and also are usually manageable via over-the-counter remedies that numb the area until it heals. “If canker sores are very frequent and severe, talk to your doctor because it could indicate an underlying problem, such as a vitamin deficiency or celiac disease,” Chauhan says. She also advises preventing canker

sores by avoiding irritating foods, such as spicy foods or citrus, and managing stress. Although they are irritating and unpleasant, cold sores rarely are a serious problem and usually heal within a matter of days. Don’t add to your stress by worrying about them. Relax, and they’ll very likely go away without need for medical intervention.

David Deatherage David Deatherage Design What drew you to work in this field? I didn’t choose the design world; it chose me. After many years of selling vintage modern furniture to globally lauded designers—and the countless reinventions of my own interiors—friends started calling on me to help them with their projects. One project led to the next. It was an evolutionary path, I suppose. Describe your dream client. My dream client would be one with a beach house, mostly because I haven’t had such a project and I find a tropical environment so inspiring. I have spent a lot of time in Miami Beach; and I love the light there, the ocean breeze, the attention to aesthetics and the casual, laid-back approach to luxury.

Where do you find inspiration? This will sound cliché, but I find inspiration everywhere—and usually when I least expect it. I’m always aware of my surroundings, and the color/texture combinations I come across. I’m inspired by my daughter; she looks at the world with fresh eyes and has no preconceived notions of what ‘goes’ together. I’m inspired by the work of other designers. I try to keep my mind open to all design styles. What is your favorite part of a home to design? I’d have to say the kitchen/hearth room, since it really is the heart of the home. It’s where friends and family gather, it’s where holiday meals are made, it’s where friendships are cultivated… I know in those spaces, my designs will be thoroughly enjoyed. Master bedrooms are a close second. What was the last good book you read? I recently reread Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell. It’s a book my mom introduced me to when I was young.

What drew you to work in this field? I grew up on a farm in Chesterfield; and as a kid, I used to work outside a lot. I always have had a love for the outdoors. When I went to college, I thought, I’m going to go into horticulture. I started to learn about design, and I just was pulled in that direction. Describe your dream client. I would describe my dream client as this: someone who calls and says, We have this backyard that we want to make into a unique outdoor living space, and we want it to be an extension of who we are.

I have always been artistic, and great at listening and making people feel comfortable, so it just seemed a natural fit for me. What is your favorite part of a home to design? I love doing kitchens because I truly believe they are the heart of the home—typically where you, your family and your guests hang out. Coming up with a functional and beautiful kitchen that captures my client’s personality gives me a great sense of accomplishment.

It is the client who comes with an open mind and willingness to step out of his or her comfort zone, and trusts me to collaborate with them to create a great environment—that, I enjoy the most. What is the most difficult aspect of designing a home? Not any specific room, but those that have an architectural quirkiness (i.e.: too many windows, not enough windows, strange wall angles, narrow doors). You have to be very mindful of furniture dimensions, as well as the ability to actually install the furniture in its intended location. What was the last good book you read?

There are those in this world who dream to no avail, and then there are those whose dreams become reality—even if only for a while. BY ALAN E. BRAINERD

SIR HENRY PELLATT OF TORONTO, CANADA, WAS ONE SUCH DREAMER who had amassed a great fortune, using it to build a ‘castle,’ but losing it all financially, without losing his spirit. Born in Kingston, Ontario, in 1859 to British parents, Pellatt was ambitious and knew he would succeed. By 1882, at age 23, he had married and become a

partner in his father’s stock brokerage. Just five years earlier, he had set a record for running a mile—against an American, no less! His love of art, architecture and the military from an early age would play significant roles in his future. Clearly, Pellatt was a visionary.

Continued from page 58 Light Company, which would monopolize all of the street lighting for the city. When his father retired from their brokerage partnership in 1892, Pellatt felt more freedom to invest in railroads and land, things his father considered to be risky. By the new century, Pellatt was the chairman of 21 companies that included mining, insurance, land and, of course, electricity. The year 1902 brought him the contract for the Canadian side of the generation plant for Niagara Falls. And to top off his achievements, Pellatt was knighted in 1905. What to do with all that money? Build a house, of course! But not just any house; one atop a hill spread out over 25 lots with unmatched vistas of the city, as well as ample space for entertaining friends and family. Casa Loma took $3.5 million, 300 workers and three years to complete. With 98 rooms, the 64,700-square-foot castle was the largest private residence in Canada. World War I had a direct effect on Casa Loma. The annual taxes were increased from $600 a year to $12,000. Having had other setbacks due to the war and ensuing financial crisis, Pellatt was forced in 1923 to auction off approximately $2 million in art and furnishings, and was forced to vacate the castle for more humble surroundings (his farm in the country). In later years, Casa Loma became a hotel, and

hosted bands and partygoers during Prohibition. The City of Toronto seized Cass Loma in 1933 for $27,303 in back taxes. Due to its disrepair, the city had considered demolition of this architectural behemoth, until the Kiwanis Club stepped in and decided to make it a tourist attraction. World War II also had its connection to Casa Loma: The location served as a secret location for the research and manufacturing of sonar devices. Even the Toronto government was kept in the dark about this top-secret project. In 2014, the City of Toronto entered into a new agreement with Liberty Entertainment group. There had already been a $33-million renovation completed in the 2000s; and now, an additional $7.4-million renovation will bring Casa Loma back to the grandeur that Sir Henry Pellatt always had envisioned for his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;castle on the hill.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; For more information, visit casaloma.org.

Katie’s Pizza and Pasta

Pizza + Pasta = Philanthropy

By Lisa Watson

ooking for a stellar weeknight meal without the hassle of cooking? At Katie’s Pizza and Pasta in Rock Hill, you can get that—while helping out the community at the same time—on the fourth Tuesday of every month during the restaurant’s Give Back Tuesdays. Owners Katie Lee-Collier and Ted Collier started the practice this summer with the hope of giving back to the community that has received the restaurant so enthusiastically since its opening last year. “We feel so blessed to have this restaurant, and it feels good to give back to the community that supports us,” Lee-Collier says. says. On Give Back Tuesdays, 100 percent of the restaurant’s profits from both lunch and dinner are donated to a local nonprofit. Charitable giving is embedded in the restaurant’s business model in other ways as well: For example, 50 percent of proceeds from every order of Nadia’s Cherry Pie benefit Siteman Cancer Center. The pie is made using a recipe from Ted’s mother, who passed away after battling cancer, Lee-Collier says.

The couple opened Katie’s Pizza and Pasta after Lee-Collier handed off the reins of the popular Katie’s Pizza on Clayton Road to her father. “I wanted to do pasta and make it all from scratch, but I needed a bigger kitchen and a new space to do that,” she explains. “We just love the new location and the area—we have a giant patio, an open kitchen and a big bar. We have 11 different pastas and we make them every morning from scratch. We also make all the dough, bread, sauces and vinaigrettes in-house.” Lee-Collier has been working in restaurants since she was 15, and says time spent living in Italy was inspirational to her as a chef. “I’m passionate about food and Italian cooking. True Italian cooking is artisan-based, and we really wanted to capture that,” she says. Among the restaurant’s signature dishes are the Black Spaghetti, a traditional Northern Coastal dish that includes squidink spaghetti with prawns, scallops, clams, caviar and chili flakes. Another favorite pasta is the Pappardelle with wild boar ragu, which Lee-Collier notes is a classic Continued on page 81

On the Cover Katie’s Pizza and Pasta, at 9568 Manchester Road in Rock Hill, is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, and also offers happy hours each evening, as well as Italian brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Give Back Tuesdays, on the fourth Tuesday of the month, donates 100 percent of the day’s profits to local charities.

FIRST-PERSON ACCOUNT

Cooking Class Confidential

PHOTO BY SARAH CONARD‌

M ‌

Y MOM IS AN AMAZING cook—so much so that I never really learned how to do it myself. Sure, she had me help prep ingredients, stir this or mix that, but I left the heavy lifting to her—dinners just turned out better that way. Now that I’m a ‘grown-up,’ I have begun dipping my toes into cooking, to mixed results (and, if I’m being honest, several burned, bland or otherwise inedible meals). So when the opportunity arose to take a cooking class at Schnucks, I jumped at it faster than I can reach for a takeout menu. On the evening of the class, I arrive at the Des Peres Schnucks to find that a pair of sisters—we’ll call them J and C—will be joining me for this smaller-than usual lesson. The evening’s menu— themed ‘Big Red’—includes a salad with sundried tomato vinaigrette and goat cheese croquettes, tomato pie, roasted chicken with tomato butter sauce, summer succotash and basil ice cream. At the front of the classroom are three large center islands. A recipe, measured-out ingredients and tools are placed on cutting boards around the middle island. Typically, each student chooses which dish they’d like to prepare, but because of the small class size, we each end up making two dishes. Our teacher for the evening, Tory Bahn, is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago, and begins with the basics of how to use a knife. (Spoiler alert: I’ve been doing it all wrong.) Tory shows us the correct way to hold a knife, chop an onion (which I learn I have also been doing wrong), and easily slice corn kernels off a cob (place it end-down into the center hole of a bundt pan, which will simultaneously hold the cob and collect the kernels). I’m beginning to think that Tory has the answers to all of life’s toughest problems. Apparently, one of the sisters, J, has the same beginner knife-wielding skills I do, and C prods her into making the succotash recipe, which has the most slicing and dicing. In what might be revenge, J then pressures C, who feels squeamish working with raw chicken, into making the roast chicken and accompanying tomato butter sauce. I settle myself behind the tomato pie station. I realize I have no idea what tomato pie is. Tory has me chop my ingredients, and demonstrates a new technique for cutting basil: Stack the leaves, roll them tightly like a cigar, and chop width-wise. I almost begin singing a joyous church hymn, feeling as though I’m seeing the basil-chopping light for the first time. This technique has a fancy French name (and I do not remember it) but my confetti of basil looks delicious and professional, and I feel unearned pride swell up inside. Next, I blanch my tomatoes and peel off the skin. C and J are prepping their dishes, as Tory

Tomato pie from Schnucks Cooks cooking class

makes the rounds to give instructions and answer questions. I slice and layer the tomatoes in the pie shell, and spread the mayonnaise-cheese mixture on top before Tory helps me slide it into the oven. C is now working on the tomato-butter sauce for the chicken, while J starts cooking the succotash. I hastily call ‘dibs’ on making the goat-cheese croquettes, because there’s nothing in the world better than fried cheese—nothing. As I slide the croquettes into the frying pan, the sisters tagteam the sundried vinaigrette dressing in the food processor. All the while, Tory takes our dirty dishes and utensils from the countertop, and they magically disappear into the back kitchen, mere memories from our minds. That just might have been the best part. But that’s the thing—throughout the evening, I find myself repeatedly thinking, The best part of this class is… However, the word, ‘best’ itself, dictates there only can be one. There are just too many great qualities of this class to name what, exactly, is my favorite part. Besides learning the actual tomato pie and goat-cheese croquette recipes, I pick up little factoids and tips from Tory as we go: Sprinkle spices from high above the dish for even disbursement. The difference between roasting and baking

something is both temperature and what direction the heat comes from. Use a ‘dry’ hand and a ‘wet’ hand when breading something to prevent a mess. I also learn that the honing steel, the long thin tool that comes with a knife set, isn’t actually for sharpening, but that customers can bring in their knives to any Schnucks meat department for free sharpening—sign me up. Before I know it, dinner is ready and Tory plates the food for us to eat. It’s 8 p.m., and I’m starving. Everything is shockingly tasty. It’s all I can do not to gobble the meal down. Though we didn’t make the basil ice cream ourselves (it wouldn’t have had enough time to freeze, so Tory made it earlier in the day), that too, is delicious. Schnucks provides us with printouts of all the recipes we’ve cooked tonight, and even some leftovers to take home. My pride-and-joy tomato pie is even more delicious the next day for lunch. Later, I tried to think of what I didn’t like about the class, and this is what I came up with: I do not have the sprawling, chef-caliber kitchen at home. I do not have Tory guiding me in each new recipe I try. And, tragically, I do not have a man in the back cleaning all the dishes as I go. Basically, the worst part of this class is that I don’t get to take it every time I want to make a meal.

BREAD PUDDING, LENTIL SOUP AND CARAMEL ROOM PHOTOS BY SARAH CONARD‌

‌As the St. Louis food scene continues to flourish, home chefs are able to choose from more and more locally made products to enjoy with their families. But what to make? Keep reading for ideas from four area foodies on how to use their goods in your own kitchen. Janet Shulman, The Caramel House Is there a flavor combination more quintessentially fall than caramel and apple? Janet Shulman, owner of The Caramel House, takes the duo to a whole new level with her all-natural confections. Cooks can customize the recipe by using any of her more than 24 flavors; she recommends the Simply Salted, Lavender, Bacon or O’Pumpkin, made with O’Fallon Pumpkin Beer. “Including opening and closing the refrigerator, assembly only takes a few minutes,” she says. “It’s not about how much time you spend in the kitchen or the complications of the recipe. It’s about spending time with the people you’re dining with.”

Audrey Scherrer, Bittersweet Artisan Truffles When Audrey Scherrer, owner and chief chocolatier at Bittersweet Artisan Truffles, takes her creations to Clayton Farmers’ Market, her customers always ask for ways to use the sauces. “A lot of people eat our sauces with just a spoon, or over ice cream,” she says. “But a frequent customer said they put it over bread pudding and it was exceptional. So we crafted this recipe to share with folks.” The Kentucky bourbon used in the sauce gives the butterscotch a more complex flavor, she says, and the recipe usually can be made with things home cooks already have in their pantry.

Josh Allen, Companion Bakery Companion Bakery rotates its selection of soups, and owner Josh Allen says the curried lentil soup is one of its most popular. Paired with baked-in-house cornbread, pretzel or bread, the soup, which Allen says is “not spicy as in hot, but spicy as in flavorful,” is a good fall comfort food. “Time is your friend when it comes to soup,” he says. “And it’s almost always better the next day.”

1/2 qt. chopped white onions

6 baking apples (Schulman recommends Granny Smith)

5 large eggs, beaten

1 russet potato, peeled and chopped

2 c milk, half and half or cream

1 carrot, peeled and chopped

1/4 c water

2 t pure vanilla extract

1 3/4 T curry powder

1 c chopped pecans (optional)

2 c dried lentils

Bourbon Butterscotch Sauce from Bittersweet Artisan Truffles

1/3 c roasted garlic

1/2 c whipping cream Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Core the apples, but make sure to not carve out the base. In a small bowl, combine butter and nutmeg. Fill each apple with 1 T of the butter-nutmeg mixture. Place the apples in a baking pan, and add the water to the bottom of the pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are soft enough to be cut with a spoon. Meanwhile, unwrap caramels and place them in a heavy saucepan. Melt over a very low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in whipping cream and blend. Using a large spoon, place apples in serving dishes. Spoon 1/6 of the caramel sauce over each of the warm apples and serve.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13inch pan. In a bowl, mix granulated sugar, eggs and milk. Add vanilla. Pour over cubed bread and let sit for 10 minutes. In another bowl, mix and crumble together brown sugar, butter and pecans. Pour bread mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over the top and top with nuts, if desired. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or 20 minutes if served in small ramekins. Garnish with Bourbon Butterscotch Sauce and shaved apple.

A Ladue News Special Section Continued from page 69 Nick Miller, 23 City Blocks Catering This holiday season, The Caramel Room at Bissinger’s will be featuring an unlikely twist to its gnocchi: white chocolate. Nick Miller, executive Chef at 23 City Blocks catering, which manages Lumen private event space and The Caramel Room, says he came up with this idea as a substitute for the shaved Parmesan usually found in the potato dumplings. “You wouldn’t even know it,” he says. “That little bit of sweetness really rounds out the palette and makes your mouth sing for the acid you’re getting from the orange, and the salt you’re getting from the pancetta.”

WHITE CHOCOLATE GNOCCHI WITH ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, ARUGULA, PANCETTA AND SAGE ORANGE BROWN BUTTER Makes 12 servings For the gnocchi (can be done a day ahead of time): 2 1/2 lbs. russet potatoes 2 egg yolks 1 t salt 1/4 t nutmeg, freshly grated 1/2 c all-white Bissinger’s chocolate, grated 2 c all-purpose flour (plus extra flour for dusting) Wash the potatoes. Prick them with a fork and place in a preheated 350 degree oven. Fill a large pot with water and bring up to a boil. Cooking time of the potatoes will vary, depending on their size, but check their doneness after approximately an hour. If they have a nice spring without the hard center, or a pairing knife slides through easily, they are ready to be sliced and gently squeezed open to steam briefly. Rice the potatoes without the skin into a large bowl. Stir in the yolks, salt, nutmeg and white chocolate. Add the flour all at once. Stir together and gently knead, adding more flour if necessary. Roll into

In Midtown, Hotel Ignacio has officially unveiled its new eatery: Baiku Sushi Lounge. Now open for dinner, it begins lunch service (featuring a ‘noodle-shop’ concept) on Monday, Oct. 6. The restaurant is a partnership between Brad Beracha (of the former Miso and Araka eateries) and The Lawrence Group’s Steve Smith (of Triumph Grill, City Diner, Alumni and Dooley’s). The kitchen will be overseen by Chef Soung Min Lee, who most recently was executive chef at Central Table Food Hall. Whiskey fans, the folks at Sanctuaria in The Grove will soon say farewell to the last of their exclusive stock of hand-selected Elijah Craig bourbons.

The Purple Martin

Simply Satisfying By Sidney Lewis

‌ e’re lucky here in St. Louis to have W no shortage of good new restaurants opening up on a fairly regular basis. Many of these get a decent amount of press, especially when there are well-known folks involved. The Purple Martin is somewhat of an exception to this. Despite having a popular area chef behind the stoves ( K.T. Ayers of Riddles fame) and a notable barman (Joel Clark of Sanctuaria and Mission Taco) running the show, this cozy little storefront in the Fox Park neighborhood doesn’t seem to have received the attention it’s due, and we’re more than pleased to help rectify that. The restaurant prides itself on simple, accessible fare. The menu is fairly small, but the dishes run a gamut of influences from Mediterranean to European and then some. Our visit started off with the gooey, garlicky and utterly delectable Baked Brie ($8), and a cup of the Soup of the Day ($4), which during our visit was a hearty navy bean and ham. Ideal for keeping the chill at bay, it was rich and thick with plenty of salt, thanks to the pork. The delicious soup experience inspired us to order the Mischa Fish Stew ($13) and the Lablabi ($14) for the main event. The Mischa had a plethora of whitefish and tuna mixed up with vegetable curry and served over couscous. Though it lacked enough broth to really qualify it as a stew in our book, it was nonetheless flavorful and plenty filling. The lablabi, a Tunisian staple, is a chickpea stew served over

bread, and topped with olives, pickle, preserved lemon and a glorious poached egg. For those who enjoy a hearty hot dish this time of year, this is a must-try. We opted to add some tuna to the mix for an additional $4, and it proved to be a good move. The gorgeous rosy slabs of fish really rounded out the dish. For us, nothing ends a meal quite like cheese, so we were happy to indulge in the Cheese Flight ($7), with three selections of cheeses, and some nuts, olive and dried apricots alongside. There also are treats available, courtesy of Kakao Chocolate and Serendipity for those with a hankering for sweeter items. As far as quintessential fall cocktails go, a good Jack Rose can’t be beat, and the one at The Purple Martin is as good a one as you’ll find around town. In addition to apple-based Calvados, this tipple includes a touch of London Dry gin and a tasty, house-made grenadine. Kudos also are due to the owners for investing in this oft-overlooked neighborhood. A lot of attention is paid to the goings-on a few blocks south on Cherokee Street, but there is a lot of potential in Fox Park and the surrounding area. Hopefully, The Purple Martin will serve as inspiration for others to give this and other venerable enclaves their time and attention. 2800 Shenandoah Ave., 898-0011, thepurplemartinstl.com

Alarm Will Sound

AMERICAN ARTS EXPERIENCE

Character Through the Arts BY BRITTANY NAY

F‌

ROM A BIRTHPLACE OF THE BLUES TO the country’s second-oldest symphony, St. Louis’ historic arts scene keeps on thriving. American Arts Experience (AAE) will celebrate the city’s past and present music, art, theater, dance and literature from Oct. 3 to 19 at a variety of local theaters, galleries and universities. A highlight of the fifth annual 17-day arts festival will be 250 Years of St. Louis Music: American Music at Its Best, featuring live performances from a range of renowned St. Louis artists, including jazz songstress Denise Thimes, acclaimed jazz pianist Peter Martin, soulful singer Kim Massie, blues guitar great Billy Peek and innovative 20-piece chamber ensemble Alarm Will Sound, on Oct. 17 at The Sheldon. Paul Reuter, executive director of The Sheldon and AAE festival chairman, says the special show will pay homage to St. Louis’ mark on multiple genres of music, from the Scott Joplin ragtime era to W.C. Handy’s famous blues piece St. Louis Blues and jazz legend Miles Davis, to R & B powerhouse Tina Turner, rock’n’roll pioneer Chuck Berry, and hip-hop star, Nelly. “I always thought that St. Louis does not celebrate its role in several genres of American music—like Memphis claims the blues and New Orleans claims jazz—St. Louis has played a huge role in those genres and others. So, we think of St. Louis as the real music city.” AAE will showcase more music at The Sheldon, as it plays host to multi-Grammy winners Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives on Oct. 3, and jazz pianist Chick Corea on Oct. 11. The beat rolls on as lauded saxophonist David Sanborn takes the stage Oct. 6 at the newly redesigned Jazz at the Bistro, and St. Louis Symphony performs Cindy McTee’s Einstein’s Dream, with conductor laureate Leonard Slatkin on the podium, Oct. 17 to 19, at Powell Hall. For bookworms, AAE has added literature to this 74

year’s mix, with Saint Louis Literary Consortium’s Lit in the Lou from Oct. 10 to 12 in University City, just off the Delmar Loop. The debut event will highlight authors and books with a St. Louis connection. High-caliber dance returns to AAE with New Dance Horizons III, featuring the work of top American choreographers and St. Louis dance companies, on Oct. 10 and 11 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center. And for a night at the theater, Metro Theater presents UNSORTED on Oct. 11 and 12, and Upstream Theatre performs Antigone from Oct. 10 to 19 at the Kranzberg Arts Center. Enjoy the arts outdoors with AAE’s lineup of upcoming festivals. Find fresh produce and handmade crafts from throughout the Midwest at Best of Missouri Market & More at Missouri Botanical Garden Oct. 3 to 5, as well as local and regional art at the Historic Shaw Art Fair on Oct. 6, and Art on the Town on Oct. 11 in Webster Groves.

Art aficionados also can marvel at new exhibits at Saint Louis Art Museum, Contemporary Art Museum, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Art Saint Louis and Pulitzer Arts Foundation. Whatever the form, the arts remain relevant— not only for entertainment, but also for our economy, Reuter notes. “From the number of arts employees to all the people going to shows—where they also park, eat, etc., the arts make St. Louis a vibrant city to live and to work in.” This is a big selling point for the city as businesses look to attract and retain top talent, he adds. “Arts are one of the things that really give a city character and make it a great place to live.” For that reason, Reuter encourages arts-goers to experience something new during this year’s AAE. And for those who don’t regularly attend arts events, he recommends giving it a try. “You’ll be amazed what it does for you.” Fo r t h e f u l l s l a t e o f e v e n t s , v i s i t americanartsstl.org.

All in the Timing

RATING: 7 out of 10

STORY:

BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

The Skeleton Twins

T SEEMS THAT LATELY, A slew of former Saturday Night Live cast-members are branching out, with varying degrees of success. One need only glance at a Rob Schneider comedy to know the downside of these attempts. Will Forte turned in a solid performance in Nebraska, Tina Fey has had spotty success, and Will Ferrell is a superstar. And while Kristen Wiig had a monster hit with Bridesmaids, this is her first foray into an actor-driven independent film, and she and her SNL castmate Bill Hader deliver. Twins Milo (Hader) and Maggie (Wiig), despite being inseparable as children, haven’t spoken in 10 years. It takes Milo’s suicide attempt to reunite them, when Milo moves in with Maggie and her husband, Lance (Luke Wilson), to mend. In the town where they grew up, Milo discovers Maggie’s life is not as idyllic as it seems. Meanwhile, he visits the teacher (Ty Burrell) with whom he had an inappropriate relationship in high school. Together, the twins must decide if their lives are what they want them to be. Not much of a plot, you say? Truthfully, there doesn’t need to be. Hader is working at a huge disadvantage, playing a gay man with the flamboyant SNL character Stefon on his resume, but his performance is brilliant. He is spot-on as the vulnerable lost soul. Wiig has less range, but nevertheless is charming as the struggling wife and sister. The entire cast, most of whom we know, does an incredible job going against type. All in all, it’s a charming, albeit dark, story.

OTHING GRABBING you at the theater? Here are the options for home: The Fault in Our Stars - If you don’t have a teenage girl in the house, you may have missed hearing about this poignant tearjerker about teens struggling with life—and battling cancer. Million-Dollar Arm - This melodramatic Disney-Cinderella story missed the mark in theaters. Jon Hamm plays a down-onhis-luck sports agent who tries to recruit an Indian cricket player to major league baseball. A Million Ways to Die in the West - Widely regarded as the worst movie of the last five years (and maybe the stupidest comedy ever), it may be worth the rental just to see for yourself. Words and Pictures - Clive Owen and Juliette Binoche star in this charming, if not spectacular, rom-com about a romance between a lit professor and an art teacher. The Double - The Social Network star Jesse Eisenberg stars in this dark drama about an office drone who is unnerved by the newest employee: a lookalike with all the poise and confidence he lacks. Fed Up - This is the enlightening, if paranoia-inducing, documentary about the food industry and its link to our health. Godzilla - It’s a decent remake, thanks to some serious special effects and the talents of Bryan Cranston.

BY MARK BRETZ

Six comic vignettes comprise two acts of humor. In Sure Thing, a man meets a woman in a coffee shop, where their dialogue is altered continually until they finally ‘click’ into a mutual attraction. Words, Words, Words focuses on a trio of chimpanzees placed before typewriters by a research scientist who is monitoring whether—given enough time—they can write Hamlet. In The Universal Language, a con artist who says he has invented a language for everyone finds himself attracted to a shy, stuttering woman. A quartet of people engage in existential contemplation as Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread; while in The Philadelphia, a man learns that he has landed in an alternate universe. Russian revolutionist Leon Trotsky relives his assassination again and again in Variations on the Death of Trotsky.

HIGHLIGHTS: First produced off-Broadway in 1993, this sextet of stories ably demonstrates the verbal dexterity and intellectual flexibility of playwright David Ives. Each skit cleverly plays with the English language as its characters wryly work through situations that Ives fills with the improbable and the hilarious in equal doses. St. Louis Actors’ Studio opens its eighth season with an enjoyable rendition of Ives’ witty wordplay mastered by director Elizabeth Helman and her very smart cast.

COMPANY: St. Louis Actors’ Studio VENUE: Gaslight Theater, 358 N. Boyle Ave. DATES: Oct. 3-5 TICKETS: $30-$35; 1-800-9822787 or ticketmaster. com RATING: A 4.5 on a scale of 1-to-5. More reviews available at laduenews.com

The first vignette, Sure Thing, is the best one. Influenced and even intimidated by the omnipresent sound of a bell rung when the ‘wrong’ response is made by one character to the other, Ben Ritchie and Emily Baker as strangers meeting in a coffee house conquer this extremely difficult tete-a-tete with considerable aplomb. The most poignant of the tales is The Universal Language. While Don (Shaun Sheley) primarily is interested in taking money from shy student Dawn (Baker) with his ‘language’ con game, his growing attraction for her is made all the more affecting by her cruel speech impediment that disappears when she’s ecstatically embracing this new form of communication. It’s an optimistic appraisal of how the heart can change with the proper influence. Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread allows all four characters to act out a minimalist skit with Glassstyle music built around the seemingly bland process of the noted musician purchasing an everyday commodity. Helman moves her players in sync with each other as they capture the composer’s difficult ouvre in mime-style clothing and blank expressions. Some skits work better than others. With All in the Timing, though, there’s enough variety and sharp-edged banter, and well-honed comic skills shown by the cast, to keep an audience engaged and entertained.

Parenting 101 AS A PARENT, YOU CONSTANTLY HOPE YOU are doing it right. Occasionally, things happen that confirm that hope, changing it into a belief: I believe I’m doing it right. Be it an A on a test, a win in the big game, a good decision on the playground or at a party, the belief becomes a surety. Wow, I’m a good parent—no, I’m a great parent! You bask in the glow of it and fleetingly consider baking cookies or taking on a DIY project. And then one day, your teenage child stands in the kitchen, between you and the cupboard, and says with disturbing sincerity: I need a plate. Wait. What just happened? I was getting ready to brag about you at a party. Suddenly, I’m wondering if you have a complete set of chromosomes. The plates are right where they have always been—just at arms’ length behind you. I mean, sure, I guess I could put down the two gallons of milk I am holding with the head of lettuce balancing precariously on top and get you one, but is it that much of a burden to rotate 90 degrees and extend your free hand?

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER Where did I go wrong? He hit all the milestones as a kid—crawled when he was supposed to, babbled a few syllables at the proper time. I can still remember my friend, Jody, in a panic that her oldest son, Teddy, hadn’t clapped when the book said he should. I glanced proudly at Cranky and Whiny, clapping away, and assured her it would happen. Will she give me the same smug sympathy when I tell her my teenager cannot locate dinnerware? Don’t worry. I’m sure he’s fine. He’ll figure out the kitchen cabinets...eventually. Well, this is really going to put a dent in my parental boast. I mean, what good is an A on a chemistry test when your kid won’t be able to get through the cafeteria line? Perhaps I’m making too much of it. I guess I should be glad he asked for a plate at all, no matter how horrified I may be at his inability to execute. And I guess we all need these subtle reminders that no matter how good of a job we think we’re doing, there will always be that moment when your kid needs a plate.

GAME ON!

WHITEY HERZOG

Whitey’s Winning Ways

BY FRANK CUSUMANO

HERE AREN’T MANY PEOPLE who don’t need a last name: Cher, Madonna, LeBron; and in St. Louis, there only are a handful of fellas like Stan and Whitey. Whitey Herzog will turn 83 next month, but you wouldn’t know it. The man is everywhere: You see him at Cardinals games (Lance Lynn has never lost a game with Whitey in attendance), you hear him on the radio (CBS Sports Radio 920 AM at 11 a.m. on Wednesdays), and you can meet him personally at the Whitey Herzog Youth Foundation Golf Tournament held at Forest Hills. For this annual event, Whitey hosts a banquet the night before, and then he’s back in the morning for the tournament. He’s hosted about 20 of these tourneys, raising thousands of dollars to build or improve baseball fields for little league to legion teams. He has done it all: from construction to lighting to batting cages and fencing. Of course, you would expect nothing different from the man who used to wake up at the crack of dawn, go fishing and then get to the park and manage the Cardinals to another victory. That’s what he did: win. And WHITEY HERZOG he did in style—his style, Whiteyball. It’s a fast-break version of baseball: He looked at the stadium; he looked at his team. He knew they weren’t going to hit home runs. So they ran, and

YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO REMIND YOURSELF DOWN THE STRETCH AND IN THE PLAYOFFS TO REMEMBER HOW YOU GOT THERE.

ran. Vince, Ozzie, Willie, Tommy and Terry. Not many coaches—in any sport, at any time—get a style named after them. Everybody knew what Whiteyball was. Whitey was destined for success. His extensive baseball background was like getting an MBA from Harvard. He once said, “Baseball has been good to me since I quit trying to play it.” After an eight-year playing career, Whitey worked for the Athletics as a scout, then it was on to the Mets to coach third base and run the scouting department. He then managed in Texas, California and Kansas City before coming to St. Louis. Here, he won a World Series, and was named the league’s Manager of the Year, as well as Sportsman of the Year by the Sporting News. The Cardinals retired his number; and in 2010, baseball confirmed what we already knew: Whitey Herzog became a Hall-of-Famer. We have been blessed with some great managers in our town, but I think Whitey was the best combination of guts and guile. We recently got together. How often are you recognized? I can’t go to a store, a restaurant or a gas station without somebody coming up to me. They want to shake my hand and thank me for 10 years of exciting baseball. Now, the big thing is they all have phones and they want a picture. Most of them say they want the picture for their grandmother. I never get one from a young girl who wants one for herself—and that makes me mad (laughing). Do you watch every Cardinals game? I do, unless I am traveling. My wife says, You watch baseball every night. And I say, I have all my life, why should I change now? She doesn’t watch as much anymore—I’m surprised. She watched every game I managed. In fact, she watched more games than I did because I got thrown out of some.

What is your advice for Mike Matheny in the post-season? You always have to remind yourself down the stretch and in the playoffs to remember how you got there. Don’t try to get too smart. Manage the same darn way. That is why you are there.

FIVE THINGS I THINK: 1. The most important Cardinal in the month of October will be Trevor Rosenthal—and that’s a good thing. He has never allowed a run in the post-season. If he’s good, it can be a long run.

2. Almost as troubling as the allegations of child abuse against Adrian Peterson is the number of kids he has out there. Both of the reported incidents were with 4-year-olds with different mothers. (And there was another child from another woman who passed away a year ago.) There are reports Peterson has six different kids with four different women. And he’s the one doing the discipline—gimme a break! 3. The craziest thing I have heard in sports this month is about a nationally ranked high-school player, Antonio Blakeney, who committed to go to Louisville. He has since de-committed because Louisville is an Adidas school, and he plays for a NIKE AAU basketball club in the summer months. So much for choosing a school because of academics, coaching and a chance to win a national championship. 4. ESPN’S College Game Day show has an incredible following. However, an NFL Sunday for me blows away a college-football Saturday—it’s not even close... 5. People I would like to be for a day in our town: John Bommarito, Sam Cavato, Matt Holliday, Stan Kroenke (on that day, I would break ground on a new stadium) and David Backes.

to intervene early.” The workshop’s curriculum addresses common misconceptions that surround eating disorders, such as the idea that they are a choice. “No one would ever choose an eating disorder,” Seal says. “I don’t think people have any idea how deadly they are and how rapidly dangerous they become. Some serious health side-effects can include chronic heart conditions, kidney failure, permanent dental and brain damage, and damage to the endocrine system—these are lifelong diseases.” Early intervention and treatment from specialists can greatly improve the chances of a full recovery, she adds. The Real Skinny worships will benefit from an upcoming gala that MOEDA is hosting on Saturday, Nov. 22, at Norwood Hills Country Club. The event will include dinner, a silent auction and entertainment. MOEDA co-founding board member Judy Brouton will be honored for her commitment to the organization. “Awareness is better than ever before, but there’s still so much work to do around this,” Seal says. “We’re just getting started.”

excellence that includes the most qualified and caring employees, as well as an elegant residential lifestyle with no buy-in fees.” Along with its 20-year celebration, McKnight Place Extended Care also will honor six employees who have served for 20 years. This commitment of staff translates to the level and quality of attention residents receive, Knittel notes. “It’s awesome to have that kind of longevity because they get to know the residents and their families and provide that continuity of care.” To meet increasing demand, McKnight Place soon will break ground to expand its assisted living community. But its philosophy will remain the same, Knittel says. “This is more than just a job. It’s an extension of our family.”

feeling better and doing better.” Nonprofits that saw the most success last year relied on grant-writing and major gift solicitation, as opposed to direct mail or telephone solicitations, Rome says. “Those strategies seem to be working best right now. Special events, interestingly, are still important to organizations, but the reliance on special events does seem to be less than it was at one time.” She adds, “Nonprofits recognize that the best strategy is a personal, one-onone approach, and they’re having success with that.” Rome cautions that the increased fundraising numbers don’t mean everything is sunny for nonprofits. “They are still challenged to meet the increased demand for service, especially in the social services, where they don’t have the staff to do that. The more they can raise money, the more they can meet the increased demand,” she says. “And there are still concerns about government cutbacks at both the state and local level. I don’t want to paint this as a perfect picture. They still need to continue to raise more money to provide quality services.”

Katie’s Pizza and Pasta continued from page 66 Roman dish. “It’s wonderful for the upcoming cold season,” she says. Also popular is the Artichoke Salad, which includes fried artichoke with goat cheese, asparagus and pistachios. “We have a lot of really unique dishes focusing on seasonal ingredients,” she says. Guests who dine in at the restaurant even have the opportunity to sit among the ingredients, as the restaurant grows its own tomatoes and herbs on the patio as the season allows. Inside, 5-by-5-foot ‘living walls’ of plants also offer a unique dining experience. So far, Give Back Tuesdays has raised between $2,000 and $3,000 each for Operation Food Search, Friends of Wings and Microfinancing Partners in Africa. On Oct. 27, Gateway 180, which aims to break the cycle of homelessness, is the chosen beneficiary. Future events will support Wyman Center in November, and the Half Fund in December.

Q&A WITH JAYNE MCALLISTER continued from page 53 you’ll curb your appetite with the low-calorie, nutritious foods and be less likely to overeat on starches and animal proteins. Dress your salad with olive oil and lemon juice, or a little vinegar. If you’re a carb-lover, then pick the good guys such as brown rice, quinoa and barley. Just limit your portion to half a cup, and mix with veggies for a high-fiber, low-calorie serving. Having healthy food with you at all times

Project COPE continued from page 22 individuals with housing, clothing, medical care, employment and more as they re-enter society. “I’ve met with so many people who have come out of prison,” Ludeman says, “and the most common theme is that Project COPE’s mentoring teams are providing these clients with care, concern and love for the first time in their lives. There is a change that starts occurring in these individuals as they feel more secure and feel that base of support. It strengthens their psyche and their resolve, and, like children have a desire to honor their parents, they want to please their mentor team.” These clients are securing good jobs, and reuniting with and providing for their families, he adds. The majority of crime in the St. Louis community is committed by repeat offenders, and Project COPE’s services are helping end that cycle, Ludeman notes. “The No. 1 thing that the average person in the community can do to reduce crime and increase public safety is to support services that reduce recidivism. It’s the best dollar someone could spend.”

eradicates excuses and keeps you in charge of your health. Take almonds, seaweed snacks, lentil chips, tubs of hummus and savory granola to stave off hunger pangs. Also, drink wisely: Sipping a glass of wine with dinner is fine, but make sure you keep your water intake up. Start the day right with a blend of fruit and oatmeal, or eggs with sautéed veggies. Choose simple foods, like grilled fish, chicken or meat with a medley of vegetables. And maintain your regular sleep patterns. A good night’s sleep goes a long way in so many respects, not least in relation to fat-burning.

INFLUENZA continued from page 48 that everyone older than 6 months of age be vaccinated against influenza. Vaccines are now available throughout the community, so you should get the vaccine as soon as possible. Efficacy of the vaccine does vary year to year, but in general, they are quite effective. Children 6 months through 8 years of age need two vaccinations, given four weeks apart, the first year they receive the vaccine. All others are covered with one annual immunization. The vaccine is available either as a flu shot or a nasal spray (for ages 2 to 49). Certain people should not receive the flu vaccine, so be sure to discuss your status with your physician. Also, remember to keep your hands clean and cover your cough. Stay home if you’re sick so you don’t spread your illness. I’m getting my

If you could offer only one piece of advice to frequent business travelers to help them stay healthy while traveling, what would it be? Pre-plan: from where you’re going to eat in the airport and ordering a special meal on the plane to making sure your hotel has a workout facility or pool, or if it’s safe to exercise outside. There is no substitute for pre-planning, as any savvy business traveler knows. True road warriors usually have a plan B, too, because they’re used to plans falling apart at a moment’s notice.
