CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE

SOCIETY THIS WEEK SIGNALS AN EXCITING TIME FOR US AT LADUE NEWS, AN energy that extends all the way to the Central West End, where our third annual Show House opens this Saturday, Oct. 5.

For the past few weeks, #23 Lenox Place transformed into a designers’ playground of sorts, as some of St. Louis’ top interior designers and landscapers tugged and toiled away to create eye-popping spaces that will have everyone talking. All this hustle and bustle truly is a labor of love, as everyone involved has generously contributed their time and talent to bring this fall tradition into fruition. I previewed the finished spaces the other day, and as I went from room to room, I found it challenging to settle on a favorite space.

Just for fun, we asked this week’s contributors about a favorite room at their home (see p. 4). I hope this utilitarian exercise gets you in the mood for the LN Show House, which runs through Oct. 20 and benefits four local charities. For tickets and more information, visit laduenews.com.

PASSPORT TO DRY CREEK Calling all bon vivants! If you appreciate a good glass of wine perfectly paired with fine food, experience it as it should be at Passport to Dry Creek Valley in California’s Sonoma County.

The region is home to more than 9,000 acres of vineyards, including some of the gnarliest clusters of old-vine zinfandel in the world.

OOH LA LA CHARRETTE! At the end of a winding road in the wilds of St. Albans stands La Charrette, the magnificent French chateau belonging to Bob and Kim Brinkmann.

Designed by Tulsa-based architect Jack Arnold and built in 1999, this 12,000-square-foot home is layered in details. Sitting atop 15.7 acres, the sweeping views of the river valley with Augusta in the distance are as spectacular as the home itself.

ULTIMATE FAN EXPERIENCES Are you ready for some football…or hockey?

If you’re a No. 1 sports fan, the St. Louis Rams and the St. Louis Blues have you covered.

In the luxury of a customized club or special suite, guests can get in the game, V.I.P.-style.

CHARITIES & NONPROFITS

Friends, family members, basketball fans and members of the St. Louis Blues organization attended BUBBA’S BASH AT DE SMET JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL to celebrate the life of 1973 alum Jim Goessling.

Goessling, nicknamed ‘Bubba’ in high school, was a member of both De Smet and the University of Missouri-St. Louis’ halls of fame, and served as VP for the St. Louis Blues before losing his battle with cancer last fall. The event raised $11,000 for a scholarship in his honor. Pictured: Jeff Smith, Julie Matheny, Bob Frederic, Patty Goessling, Bob O’Laughlin and Jim Kennedy St. Louis Community College-Meramec student Rod Callies of Wildwood created the winning sculpture in CHESTERFIELD ARTS’ UNIVERSITY SCULPTURE COMPETITION. The sculpture, entitled Aspire, is now permanently located along the Stream Walk near the Chesterfield Central Park Amphitheater. Its four separate but similar steel spires symbolize the growth and aspirations of the city of Chesterfield.

Shortly after she moved into The Gatesworth in 1992, Martha Seebold attended the retirement community’s fourth anniversary celebration. “I remember the horse and wagon that was taking people around,” she says. “It was decorated and they were running people from place to place. It was really nice.” This week, she got to enjoy an even more momentous occasion, when The Gatesworth celebrated its silver anniversary, marking 25 years of service for its residents.

The occasion was marked on Oct. 3 with a gala, featuring an anniversary dinner, live band and Champagne toast. Residents and the community’s owners reminisced about times past and what The Gatesworth means to them. “It’s changed quite

Since then, the community has expanded several times, offering three levels of care on its campus. “What I like best are the wonderful concierges. They’re there whenever you want them. If I need help lifting something or I need something from the gift shop,

they’ll send it,” she says. “The little things are so important, especially when you need help.”

Which room is your favorite to design?

I really love to do gathering spaces, such as living and great rooms. I think creating a space to unite and enjoy each other’s company is a wonderful thing to be able to give to a client.

What inspires you? there are so many types of amazing plants that God has created. All the different colors, textures and forms are breathtaking. Natural stone and boulders have a unique imprint of their own. My inspiration often comes from the beauty of these plants and from stone, and their unique characteristics.

Which room is your favorite to design?

Projects that I love to be involved in are those that are challenging, and allow creativity and out-of-the-box ideas. I especially love to work on backyard areas with multiple functions and features, almost as if the yard has its own rooms, like the interior of a home.

Rand Rosenthal Design Group What inspires you?

I like things that are worn, and touched by the hands of time. I love objects that have character, and need a chance to make it again.

What is your dream project?

In regards to landscaping, I would like to create a tuscan or old Italian garden using old gates, worn timber, and planters and urns filled with colors and textures that are irresistible.

20

June Roesslein Interiors What inspires you? there are many things that inspire me, whether it is a family heirloom or a fabric that is the building block of the room. I love the evolving process of design, and how the room comes alive when it all clicks.

How do you know when a room is complete? rooms are never completed. rooms evolve as needs change, and travels are taken and gifts are given. the seasons change, accessories are switched and lifestyles change.

OctOber 4, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

Steve Toedebusch Steve Toedebusch Design How do you know when your room is complete?

All good design is constantly evolving. Although a room is complete with furniture and arrangement, you are always changing some details. I have clients with 30-year rooms that have been freshened over the years, and still look great.

In the final installment of Show & Tell, we are happy to introduce the remaining 2013 LN Show House designers. Open to the public Oct. 5 through Oct. 20, the third annual Show House is located at #23 Lenox Place in the Central West End.

Local nonprofits Circle of Hope Bracelets, Every Child’s Hope, National Council of Jewish Women and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center all work to give hope and healing to families throughout the community. And as beneficiaries of the 2013 Ladue News Show House at #23 Lenox Place, that message of hope and healing will be carried even further.

Circle of Hope Bracelets

Every Child’s Hope

Circle of Hope Bracelets helps bond the community in the fight against cancer. “Our volunteers see the bracelets as a life symbol that forms a tangible bond among cancer patients and their circle of supporters,” notes organization spokeswoman Nancy Lipari.

Volunteers create more than 300 bracelet designs at the nonprofit’s headquarters, located just north of Plaza Frontenac, and sell them online nationwide. “Individuals, as well as institutions, become volunteer distributors to fundraise for the cancer charity of their choice, at no cost to them,” Lipari explains. Then, bracelet sales are donated to help fund cancer research, education, treatment and care.

Since its origin in 1999, the organization has given $2.8 million to more than 100 cancer charities, including $645,000 to the American Cancer Society through Relay for Life, $228,500 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure through the Komen Race for the Cure and $375,000 to Siteman Cancer Center. Circle of Hope also annually supports local cancer charities, such as Friends of Kids with Cancer, Camp Rainbow, Arts as Healing, Young Women’s Breast Cancer Program and No Woman Left Behind.

For more information or to volunteer, call 913-9358 or visit circleofhopebracelets.org.

Every Child’s Hope (ECH) is committed to helping needy children and families return to health and wholeness. What started as an orphanage in 1858 has grown to a broad spectrum of services for troubled families across St. Louis and Kansas City.

The nonprofit, which annually serves 1,500 individuals, addresses prevention of abuse and neglect, treatment and rehabilitation for children and families who have experienced abuse and neglect, and aftercare services supporting successful reintegration of children into the community and their family environments, explains Sharon Fenoglio, development director.

Services include residential treatment on the St. Louis campus for up to 55 children, healing from histories of abuse and neglect; and Steppingstone—a transitional/independent living facility for up to 26 youths, to assist them with life skills, educational goals, budgeting and maintaining a household.

“The funds generated from the Ladue News Show House will be used to help renovate a new Life Skills Center for the at-risk and homeless adolescents served through our Steppingstone program,” Fenoglio adds.

For more information or to volunteer, call 427-3755 or visit everychildshope.org.

OCTOBER 4, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center annually treats 200,000 children, regardless of their families’ ability to pay.

The medical center is supported in part by the Glennon Guild, made up of 300 local women who annually raise about $200,000. “The Ladue News Show House gives us a perfect venue to accomplish our mission. We earn some money for Glennon and have a chance to promote the good Cardinal Glennon does for sick children,” says Ginny Hartman, Guild president.

The organization’s largest fundraisers are The Glennon Card and the annual Fashion Show, held each fall at The Ritz-Carlton. The Glennon Card is being sold now by Guild members, select retailers and online at GlennonCard. org. The card entitles the holder to a 20-percent discount at more than 285 retailers and restaurants in the St. Louis bi-state area.

The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is 1,700-member volunteer organization inspired by Jewish values. The nonprofit serves those in need of all religions, races and ethnicities through a multitude of programs and events.

This year, the one-day, pop-up Back-To-School! Store, its signature project now in its 13th year, provided more than 1,100 needy elementary school children with new clothing and school supplies, as well as dental and eye screenings.

Additional programs include the Kids Community Closet, Wife-WidowWoman and Healing Hearts Bank, Silent Witness Exhibit and The Resale Shop. “NCJW believes that philanthropy is a way to make social change, and we have numerous ways to fundraise,” notes president Marlene Hammerman.

NCJW’s largest fundraiser is The Resale Shop, which provides about half of its budget. Located at 295 N. Lindbergh Blvd., the shop sells new and gently used clothing for all members of the family, plus housewares, shoes, accessories and jewelry.

INCE ITS FOUNDING 21 YEARS AGO, Friends of Kids with Cancer has evolved in many ways. But one thing stays the same: its dedication to making kids smile.

Just like the nonprofit itself, the annual Fashion Show & Boutique at The Ritz-Carlton has grown through the years. And as one of the largest Friends of Kids with Cancer fundraisers, it creates memories that last a lifetime for the kids who participate and their families, says executive director Judy Ciapciak. “There was a young man in the show last year who was terminal; and through Make-AWish, he was able to go to spring training,” Ciapciak recalls. “I emailed Mike Matheny, and said he could use a partner walking down the aisle, and Mike was able to come for the luncheon and walk with him.”

The event is special for all of the kids who

participate, not just those who get to walk with their hero, Ciapciak notes. “A lot of the kids come from small towns and they’ve never been to a ‘fancy’ hotel or received treatment like that. We have a hair-and-makeup lady, and she makes them feel like little princes and princesses.”

As with all of the nonprofit’s programs, the

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT

National Children’s Cancer Society

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

JAMISON AND COLE PHOTO BY JENNIFER KING

MISSION: The goal is clear: The National Children’s Cancer Society (NCCS) works to better the lives of young cancer patients and their families by providing immediate assistance. “We are not going to duplicate the services of other national nonprofits, which mostly deal with research,” says president and CEO Mark Stolze. “Our focus is to help children who need assistance now.”

HISTORY: In 1986, Stolze and his wife, Carol, visited a friend in the hospital. While they were visiting, the friend, who had Hodgkin’s disease, began to cry. “And she said, Whether I live or I die, my family will always be in debt.” At the time, Stolze says the necessary treatment was experimental, so her insurance would not cover it.

After speaking with the head of the bone marrow transplant unit, Stolze came to understand that it was not uncommon for patients to be turned away because of the cost—including more than 30 children that year alone.

Assistance was swift, as Stolze estimates that “within 30 days, we developed the plans, established a corporation, filed for the licenses and registrations, applied for the 501c3…” he says, listing the multitude of steps required to start a nonprofit. “In our first year, we funded eight bone marrow transplants. Throughout the years, we’ve continued to develop sources of revenue, and increase the amount of children we help.”

COMMUNITY IMPACT: The NCCS provides assistance through a multitude of programs, both nationally and internationally. In the U.S., the Pediatric Oncology Program matches eligible families with a dedicated case manager. Additionally, the Pediatric Oncology Program works to keep families financially afloat during the battle with cancer by providing assistance for travel, lodging,

WHAT/WHEN/WHERE: ALVIN K. STOLZE INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN AWARD DINNER, NOV. 23, 2013, AT THE HYATT REGENCY ST. LOUIS AT THE ARCH. Academy Award-winning actress and bestselling author Shirley MacLaine will headline this NCCS event, where the Humanitarian, Corporate Philanthropy and Medical Legacy awards will be presented.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED: To find out more about the National Children’s Cancer Society, call 241-1600 or visit thenccs.org.

meals, non-insurance-covered medical expenses and more. “Over the past 26 years, we’ve handed out more than $55 million to approximately 34,000 children nationwide.”

Outside of the U.S., the NCCS works to assist children through the Global Outreach Program; this branch of the organization provides donated medical supplies and cancer treatment medication to facilities in 41 countries. A third program works with children after the cancer has been treated, as well as with health care professionals and families,

to provide educational resources and scholarships. “Beyond The Cure deals with the long-term issues associated with treatment,” explains Stolze.

“Once NCCS becomes involved with a child, we’re involved with them for life.”

ON THE BOARD: SUE ENGELHARDT “You hear so much about cancer research, but this was the first time I’d heard about an organization that helped the children and families once they had been diagnosed,” says NCCS board secretary and treasurer Sue Engelhardt.

A community volunteer and trustee of the Engelhardt Family Foundation, Engelhardt estimates she has been with NCCS for about nine years. She notes the Engelhardt Family Foundation gives to a variety of causes, “but education seems to be one that is very important to the whole family.”

Engelhardt says the effects of cancer treatment can set a child back in regards to education.

Additionally, she explains that many families

have depleted their funds during treatment, making college out of reach. “You read some of these essays and applications, and you’re brought to tears as to what they’ve overcome,” she says of NCCS’ Beyond The Cure Scholarship Program, noting that it has given almost half a million dollars in scholarships since 2008.

In addition to her work with NCCS, Engelhardt serves as Opera Theatre of Saint Louis board vice-chair and St. Louis Arc vice-chair of events and corporate outreach, as well as board member for Voices for Children and The Sheldon Concert Hall. Previously, she has served on the boards of COCA, Epworth Children’s and Family Services, Edgewood Children’s Center, John Burroughs School and Rossman School.

TESS GIBERSON AT SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

KNOWN FOR IT’S LUXURY AND STYLE FOR MORE THAN 175 YEARS, Tiffany & Co. continues to evolve each of its storied collections. The latest to be revived is the Atlas collection. Modern in design and featuring its signature Roman numerals, the new collection takes shape in two sizes of bangles (one bordered in sparkling diamonds), a skinny fine-chained bracelet, band rings and an open medallion pendant. The seamless blend of new and classic design captures the essence of Tiffany — chic and sophisticated, the epitome of elegance.

Atlas collection available at Tiffany & Co. at Plaza Frontenac

TESS GIBERSON PRIMARILY HAS MADE A NAME FOR HERSELF DESIGNing the sweaters everyone loves to wear (she was the Men’s Collection sweater designer at Calvin Klein, as well as the design director at TSE). However, in 2010, she decided to re-launch her eponymous line. The emphasis of the new collection is to speak to a strong, empowered woman. The line has been recognized for its minimal tailoring balanced with an extreme consideration to detail and experimentation with form, yet an overall ease to each garment. Her pieces are fashion-forward but not fussy. As part of St. Louis Fashion Week, Saks Fifth Avenue will be hosting a presentation of the fall line followed by a Q & A session with the designer. Ticket sales will benefit the Fashion Group International of Saint Louis Inc. scholarship fund.

Shop Worth a Stop DIMVALOO ACTIVE LIVING AUSTRALIAN ACTIVE WEAR BRAND LORNA JANE HAS FOUND A NEW home in Ladue.

Dimvaloo Active Living stocks Lorna Jane everything—from brightly colored tanks, bras and leggings, to socks, water bottles and workout bags. Styles change with each shipment, as Lorna Jane creates 60 to 100 new all-activity and ‘athleisure’ wear styles each month.

Owner Kate Duryea discovered Lorna Jane while on a trip to Australia to visit her brother. Duryea’s mother offered to buy her an outfit; immediately she tried on a tennis outfit, despite the fact that she didn’t play tennis.

“I said, I’ll play tennis for this!” Duryea recalls. “I’ll take up tennis for this outfit! I will join a country club for this outfit!”

Duryea opened Dimvaloo in June, and it remains the only store outside of Australia and California to carry Lorna Jane. The brand is known for its trademarked LJ Excel fabric, which is moisture-wicking, quick-drying, anti-pill, UV protective and durable. Duryea says she still wears the first Lorna Jane outfit she got in Australia. Dimvaloo also hopes to begin carrying men’s active wear in late October.

HAIR AND MAKEUP FOR FALL

In Vogue

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

S

TRAIGHT HAIR IS SO LAST SEASON—OR IS it? And this autumn is all about bold lips…or should they be neutral? To make sure your hair and makeup stay as on-trend as possible, we talked to five beauty professionals to find out what’s hot for fall.

Shaudi Habibi, Dominic Michael • A bang-up job. “Bangs are really big right now,” Habibi says. “The type of bang is dependent on your face shape, but it’s a trend a lot of people can get into because it’s not dependent on changing your hair length.”

• Going up. “The high bun is moving to low with a lot of backcombing,” she says. “We’re doing a throwback to the ’40s and ’50s—deep side parts, really nice smooth waves.”

Whitney Rhoads, Breeze Blow Dry Bar • Master the mess. “There is a return to a very retro feel in hair and makeup, and it is a little undone,” Rhoads says. “It’s taking looks we may have done traditionally—whether it’s a ponytail or curls or an updo—and giving it have that retro feel. But what’s modern is that it’s a little undone, a little messier.”

• The new curl. Rhoads explains that a sleek-toa-curl look is quite popular, where the roots are sleek and the tight curls begin around the ear. “It’s modern glamour.”

• Imperfect perfection. “The color for makeup this season, like the hair, is a little undone,” she says. “Antique purple is replacing that really heavy black, dark smokey eye.”

Angi Mayo, Ginger Bay • Hidden hues. “We’re starting to see less traditional highlights and more color melting, peek-aboos, color glossing—highlights that aren’t coming straight out of the scalp. People want more longevity out of their color,” says Mayo.

• Creative color. Mayo says people are now being

more adventurous with their color, using shades like blue or purple in small streaks. If a brightly colored strand is too much for your taste, “choose a classic color all over, but use a more intense version of that color on the tips.”

Jordan Fox, Blown Away Blow Dry Bar • Lay low. “We are seeing a lot of different looks for fall. One is nice and simple: the low pony. You can go messy with tousled waves, or very sleek and parted with straight ends.”

• Pucker up. “For lips, we are seeing very, very matte lips. No sheer, no shiny, just a nice, velvety lip,” says Fox, adding that lip colors have moved into the berry color palette this season.

• Beautiful brows. This face-framing can’t be forgotten. “Full brows are in,” Fox says. “Tell

Kathleen Fuller, Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis Spa & Salon • Return from dye. “A lot of people are coming in, wanting to go back to their natural color,” Fuller says. “They’re taking their color back to their roots.”

• Sleek and shiny. “They’re really going for that straight, sleek look,” says Fuller, recommending the Global Keratin taming system process, which seals the hair cuticle and provides ample shine for six months.

• Mighty makeup. Fuller notes two bold beauty looks for the season: “They’re doing a real power lip and a natural eye. On the reverse, there’s almost a nude lip and a lot of purple and grey on the eyes with black eyeliner.”

PASSPORT TO DRY CREEK VALLEY

Two Days of Wine & Roses

STORY AND PHOTOS BY TRISH MUYCO-TOBIN

C

ALLING ALL BON VIVANTS! IF YOU appreciate a good glass of wine perfectly paired with fine food, experience it as it should be at Passport to Dry Creek Valley in California’s Sonoma County. In 2014, the annual weekend event will take place in late April throughout Sonoma’s revered Dry Creek Valley wine region, about an hour’s drive north of San Francisco. The region is home to more than 9,000 acres of vineyards, including some of the gnarliest clusters of old-vine zinfandel in the world.

Established in 1990, Passport to Dry Creek Valley has grown into a beloved tradition attended by visitors worldwide and locals alike. More than 50 area wineries open their doors and offer grapeto-glass experiences through tours, rare and

42

OCTOBER 4, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

exclusive vintage tastings, and meet-and-greet opportunities with the names behind many of the world’s most highly regarded winemakers. Among the most memorable moments during this year’s Passport event was gaining access to the usually by-appointment-only A. Rafanelli Winery, where Dave Rafanelli himself greeted guests by pouring us a welcome glass of his second-to-none zinfandel. But that was only the beginning: Inside, the winery was transformed into a food wonderland of sorts, where several stations offered bites of Chick Pea Pizza, Portabella Fritto, Pollo Ravioli; and Cioccolato a Nido d’Ape (chocolate honeycomb), and Pistachio Gelato, Fragole (strawberries) and Biscotti for dessert.

And the Rafanelli estate was just one stop

(remember, there are more than 50)! So, for the uninitiated, it’s best to realize that it is almost impossible to visit every winery and savor the offerings at each one. Pace yourself by having a plan: Decide which wineries to visit—maybe you have your favorites, or check out ones that are in close proximity to each other—and start early. During the two-day event, all wineries open promptly at 11 a.m. and close by 4:30 p.m. In addition to food and wine, many of the wineries offer live entertainment and the ensuing tomfoolery. One of our favorite stops was at the mariner-themed Dry Creek Vineyard, where there were sailboat races and ‘salty shanties’ aplenty, sharing the spotlight with the musical Seadogs, a ‘band of pirates’—or in this case, a pirate band. Cheers, mateys!

Tickets to the 2014 Passport to Dry Creek Valley event (April 26 and 27) will be sold on a first-come, first –served basis, and will be available beginning Feb. 1. Admission comes with an actual ‘passport’ that gets a unique stamp at every winery, so guests can track their ‘travels.’ For more information, visit the Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley website at wdcv.com.

Ooh La La Charrette!

BY ALAN E. BR AINERD

44

OCTOBER 4, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

A

s this city bOy drOve west toward st. Albans to view the French estate of a local executive and his wife, i felt in some way that this must have been what it was like for the early 20th century scions of business when they moved from the central West end to the outer limits of Ladue in search of larger parcels of land in which to build their manse. driving past residential areas and shopping centers that dot the landscape along the highways, eventually the brick-and-mortar structures became fewer and the peacefulness of the bucolic countryside took over. Ah, wilderness!

Passing through the gates of the bluffs of st. Albans, an enclave of extraordinary homes nestled in timbers with wide vistas of the Missouri river greeted me. Proceeding uphill and arriving almost to the end of a winding road, i look to my left and there stands La charrette, the magnificent French chateau belonging to bob and Kim brinkmann. La charrette’s name comes from the last town Lewis and clark encountered settlers in 1804. designed by tulsa-based architect Jack Arnold

and built in 1999, this 12,000-square-foot home is layered in details. sitting atop 15.7 acres, the sweeping views of the river valley with Augusta in the distance are as spectacular as the home itself. this home may be newer, but many of the building materials and the method used to build the home are not. the mortise and tenon beams in the great room, as well as the ones in the formal dining table, are made from an 800-yearold Washington state douglas fir. the beams actually support the roof! the oak plank flooring originated in a sears roebuck warehouse in chicago. And with Mr. brinkmann being in the building business and all, this home was built like a fortress with beams and a metal undergirding beneath the main level floor, so if it were to be finished in the future, columns would not have to be used. the interior walls are French stucco in the Old World style and the exterior is accented with stone quarried from Missouri topped with vermont slate on the roof. the ‘scumbled’ finish on the walls is the perfect backdrop for the French antiques that the couple has collected from their travels.

An antique monk’s bench lines one hallway for conversation and interest. Lighting is an

interesting mix of iron sconces and chandeliers, as well as found antler chandeliers to carry out the French country theme. Additionally, the mix of rare woods from the antiques and the custom cabinetry create an Old World charm in this sprawling chateau. French Wench interiors and owners Pat and terry stratmann aided in designing the spaces throughout the home. the brinkmanns have thought out every area of this home: For example, the open loft above the kitchen houses the pool table. the adjoining room is the workout facility. the unfinished lower level offers storage, and the largest residential tool and woodworking shop i have ever seen in a home. With its impressive square footage, obviously, there is enough room for six bedrooms, eight baths, a four-car heated garage, seven wood-burning fireplaces, and a pool and hot tub. Plus, there also is a cave on the property where Lewis and clark reportedly spent a night during their journey west, as well as an authentic log cabin.

THE DOCTOR IS IN

Parent-Teacher Talks

BY DR. JOSEPH KAHN

Y

OUR KIDS HAVE BEEN BACK IN SCHOOL for a few weeks now, and it is time for parent–teacher conferences. In addition to discovering whether the teacher really is demanding, unfair and beyond reason (as you may have heard), what can you do to make the best use of the 15 to 20 minutes you have with him or her? I suggest organizing your discussion into general areas.

First, find out what is being taught and what is expected of your child. Do the school’s goals for your child and expectations of him align with yours? If not, how do you work together to make these match?

Second, discuss your child and her unique attributes. What kind of learner is she (visual, auditory, tactile) in both your and the teacher’s experience? Ask the teacher how she and the school accommodate differences in learning styles. Ask if your child seems happy at school.

Does she have friends? Who are they? How does she interact with other children and adults? Ask for specific examples of behaviors.

What should you, as a parent, do to enhance your child’s education and the work of the school?

How much homework is required? How should parents participate in projects and assignments?

Are there specific problems or weaknesses that you need to work on at home and, if so, what should you do to address them? How should you monitor your child’s progress at school from home? If your child is having difficulties that are not able to be addressed by you or the teacher, what other resources are there to help?

How are progress and success measured at school? Specifically, how much do tests, homework and class participation count in grading? Which standardized tests will be administered, and how will your child be prepared for these tests?

Finally, ask how the teacher wishes to communicate with you, and you with him? Is email best?

Does the school have a website that should be checked frequently? Are communications sent home with the child?

What if this is not a routine conference, but rather a meeting to address a specific educational or behavioral problem? First, listen carefully to the teacher’s explanation of her concerns about your child. It is easy to be defensive and emotional, but try not to allow these feelings to overtake your judgment. If you are bringing a problem to the teacher or the school, be as clear and specific as possible. Be careful to be objective—not critical—and let the teacher know that the concern you are bringing is not personal. Offer helpful information. No one knows your child as well as you do; and the more you are able to share about your child’s personality and history, the easier it will be to solve the problem at hand. Once you have defined the problem, ask the teacher for his

IF YOU ARE BRINGING A PROBLEM TO THE TEACHER OR THE SCHOOL, BE AS CLEAR AND SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE...NO ONE KNOWS YOUR CHILD AS WELL AS YOU DO; AND THE MORE YOU ARE ABLE TO SHARE ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S PERSONALITY AND HISTORY, THE EASIER IT WILL BE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AT HAND. input, opinions about the matter and suggested solutions. Remember that relationships and connections matter and taking a few minutes to get to know the teacher goes a long way.

I hope these suggestions make a potentially stressful time become more valuable for you, the teacher and school, and especially for your child.

In the end, that is all that matters.

Dr. Joseph Kahn is president of Mercy Children’s Hospital Services (w).

Caring for the Whole Woman

n tOday’s technOlOgy-driven sOciety, a virtually endless amount of medical information is constantly at our fingertips. and yet, many women lack knowledge about their everyday and long-term health needs, explains dr. amy loden, an internal medicine physician with Washington University Physicians. “For example, women have a higher risk of dying from heart disease than any other female cancers combined.”

While treating patients at her practice at barnes-Jewish West county hospital and working with fellow physicians at barnes-Jewish hospital, loden focuses on the care of the whole woman. “every woman is usually underserved by lack of knowledge—that can best be cared for by having a primary care physician,” she notes. and the type of primary care physician that patients choose is just as important, loden adds. While family care physicians and internal medicine physicians both are considered primary care physicians, there

are differences. a family medicine physician is a general practitioner trained in a broad scope of health needs, treating patients from ‘the cradle to the grave,’ she explains, while an internal medicine physician is an adult medicine specialist, just like a pediatrician is a child medicine specialist. Further, an Ob/gyn cares for women’s health and surgical needs, but may not be trained in chronic disease management like internal medicine physicians. loden treats men and women, ranging from late adolescents and adults through geriatrics, with a focus on women’s health. at her practice,

she guides patients in disease prevention, from a measure as simple as a flu vaccine, to chronic disease management, such as caring for diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. and she refers those with further needs to subspecialists. st. louis’ high rate of obesity is particularly of concern, loden says, as it increases the risk of heart disease and other medical problems, such as cancers. “the need to care for the whole woman is essential,” she says.

HEALTH & WELLNESS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

You Are Not Alone

D

URING OCTOBER, EXPECT plenty of news stories and public events dedicated to sharing information about symptoms, diagnosis and medical treatment of breast cancer. But one important aspect of care is often left out: The supportive services available to help women who are diagnosed cope and manage the day-to-day reality of the disease.

At what may be the most frightening moment of a woman’s life, she is not alone. Hospitals and clinics offer a variety of programs, from one-onone support to ongoing groups, designed to help a woman navigate through the tumult of emotions, physical symptoms and lifestyle changes.

In fact, local hospitals begin by assigning each new patient a ‘nurse navigator.’ Carol Murphy, a social worker and manager of Mercy Cancer Services, provides a description of the navigator’s duties, which are fairly consistent across area

hospitals: “Our nurse navigator is present in the breast center from the time a biopsy is recommended. The navigator meets with the woman to discuss the reasons for the biopsy and explain the procedure. She helps get appointments scheduled, and is also available to review the results of the biopsy. She helps address the questions, fears and concerns each woman has. Navigation services continue throughout treatment.”

These specially trained nurse navigators often become important allies for patients, forming a strong bond, providing reassurance, coordinating appointments, and serving as the patient’s advocate with the cancer care team.

That team typically involves a multidisciplinary array of physicians and medical providers who collaborate on treatment plans. “It starts with a weekly conference where our oncologists, radiologists, breast surgeons, pathologists and the nursing team meet to review the case and determine the best treatment regimen,” explains

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

Sarah Ernsky, manager at the Breast HealthCare Center at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “We believe our patients deserve this coordinated approach. This extends to our commitment to bring cutting-edge radiation and medical oncology treatment, with dedicated medical resources, to women in a way that is coordinated and seamless.”

Referrals to additional services and support groups provide more tools to help the patient cope with everyday activities and deal with the financial and psychological effects of a breast cancer diagnosis. “We refer patients to the American Cancer Society’s Look Good Feel Better program,” says Sally Rappold, a certified breast patient navigator with St. Luke’s Hospital’s Breast Care Center. “We also refer patients who are uninsured and underinsured to Gateway to Hope, a program that coordinates donated Continued on page 64

Medical Matters Q: I’ve seen ads for eye vitamins on TV, should I be taking them?

Vitamins can have a beneficial effect against certain diseases because many people do not get all the nutrients they need from diet alone. Vitamin use does not come without risks, however. When taken in excess, some can have toxic effects and others can interfere with existing medications. For these reasons, you should always consult a physician before beginning a vitamin regimen.

Certain people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may benefit from vitamin supplements. There are two types of AMD, “dry” and “wet.” Dry AMD causes slowly progressive vision loss due to toxin buildup under the retina. Dry AMD can convert to wet AMD, which causes more rapid and profound vision loss because of fluid leakage and bleeding underneath the retina. The Age Related Eye Disease Studies, or AREDS, showed that certain combinations of vitamins can slow down forms of dry AMD. All AREDS formulations contain vitamins C and E, zinc and copper. Some

formulations also add either beta-carotene or lutein and zeaxanthin.

It is not recommended that just anyone use these vitamins – they have only been shown to be effective for people with intermediate or advanced AMD. The AREDS formulations contain doses ranging from 500% to 1300% of recommended daily values.

Additionally, formulas which contain beta-carotene may increase lung cancer risk in current and past smokers. Therefore, these supplements should only be used as instructed by an eye physician.

Symptoms of AMD include blurriness or “graying” of central vision, the perception of straight lines being wavy or distorted, or blacked out or missing central vision. If you notice these symptoms, or if you have any of the risk factors for AMD – age 50+, current or past smoker, or family history of AMD – you should schedule an eye exam. This is the only way to know if AREDS vitamins are right for you.

HEALTH & WELLNESS DEALING WITH MS

A Hopeful Time

M

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

ULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) IS a scary diagnosis. The autoimmune disease has no cure and often strikes people, particularly women, in the prime of life. The disease is progressive, and can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from

mild to disabling.

However, thousands of people live full and active lives, despite MS. Michelle Keating is one of them.

She has been living with relapsing/remitting MS, a form of the disease in which symptoms worsen at times and improve at others, for more than 32 years. A nurse educator in the Cancer Information Center located in the David C. Pratt Cancer Center at Mercy St. Louis, Keating reaches out to people diagnosed with MS, offering health education and emotional support.

During the ‘One Day for Every Day’ event on Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac, Keating will be one of several local experts providing practical tips for everyday living with MS related to strengthening relationships, talking about MS with loved ones, and using technology innovations to help make life with MS more manageable. More information, including registration, is available at 1Day4EveryDay.com.

Keating recently shared some thoughts about the event and the disease she lives with.

What is the most important message you plan to share with event participants?

What I hope that participants will walk away with is the encouragement and inspiration to share their story with others. I’m involved as one of the workshop leaders to coach people and provide tips on how to empower themselves. As someone living with MS myself, I know first-hand how important that can be in asking for support.

Why does MS often manifest in the 20s and 30s? Are there early signs and symptoms that are precursors to full-blown MS? We still don’t know the exact cause. However, our current understanding is that it’s an immune mediated demyelinating disease that attacks the central nervous system, and it affects each person differently. There are currently about 400,000 people in the nation who have MS. Diagnosed at age 25, I am considered a ‘typical’ case. The progression, severity and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Common initial symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. Today, it’s important to

start treatment as early as possible to lessen the long-term effects of the disease.

What are the most effective methods for managing MS symptoms, including medical and lifestyle interventions?

Because MS is different for everyone, it can be difficult to predict how the disease will develop and therefore, the way people manage the disease varies greatly from one person to another. Medically, it’s important to learn about treatment options and talk to your health care provider about any concerns.

There are many treatments that improve quality of life and help delay the progression of MS. From a lifestyle perspective, physical activity is especially important for people living with MS as it can help with some of the symptoms. However, as with any exercise program, it should be tailored to a person’s specific abilities and limitations. Fatigue, a common symptom, may improve with exercise.

What should friends and family of people who have MS understand about the disease, and what do MS patients need to communicate with others about their diagnosis?

It’s important that people realize a diagnosis of MS does not have to mean turning your life upside down—many people with MS have families, jobs, and lead full and happy lives. But having the disease also can mean making some adjustments to your lifestyle. I believe it’s important for people living with MS to communicate with others about their

disease, as they feel comfortable, and to share their experiences with their support network.

Research is underway to find better treatments and even a cure for MS. What do you think are some of the most important and positive developments currently in the pipeline?

When I was diagnosed 32 years ago, there were no treatments to slow the disease process. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by MS. There are currently nine therapies available to treat relapsing forms of MS, including three oral medications. New research includes a hope for repair of damage. This is a hopeful time!

Connecting Kids for Keeps

a r a h M u r p h ey g r ew u p in-and-out of foster care, without a stable home, always facing an uncertain future. but when she was 13, Megan Murphey and Michael Lettau came into her life. “they adopted Sarah a year later, and she is now a confident, young teenager attending a Ladue high school and looking at opportunities for college,” says Lisa Schaffer, Missouri director of development at the adoption exchange. the young teen is a prime example of the demographic served by the adoption exchange throughout the state, Schaffer notes. “we help before, during and after the adoption process and answer questions for families looking into adoption. Our staff is knowledgeable about adoption, and help to make the transition easier for families.”

a nonprofit established in Denver in 1983, the adoption exchange’s Missouri branch annually provides services for more than 300 kids waiting in the foster care system. the nonprofit typically helps children at about age 12 who have been in the foster care system for more than three years. “these kids are harder to place because they have special needs after being the victims of trauma, abuse or neglect,” Schaffer explains. “we work to find homes that are able to embrace those children and provide them with the family and services they need before they age out of the system at age 18 to 21, and before they face additional trauma with foster care families and transitional living. we want to find them forever families prior to their late teenage years.” and there are always more kids to help, Schaffer notes. about 1,400 kids are waiting in Missouri’s foster care system.

In support of the nonprofit’s mission to connect kids waiting in the foster care system and families looking to adopt, the 18th annual a taste of Italy gala will be held from 5 to 10 p.m. Nov. 3 at the St. Louis woman’s club. presented by the St. Louis 1904 world’s Fair charitable Foundation, the event also will benefit the Flora conservancy of Forest park. guests will enjoy an evening of dining and dancing, with signature Italian entrees from some of St. Louis’ favorite restaurants and bakeries, and entertainment from local jazz and contemporary crooner Mike Farmer. a live and silent auction also will be held. “every time a child is placed with a family, there’s always another child waiting in the foster care system,” Schaffer says. “this benefit will help us ensure we are able to provide the services to make those connections with children in Missouri and their forever families.”

FALL MENU OFFERINGS

Savoring the Season’s Bounty

BY MATT SORRELL

The patios are closing and the air conditioners are being turned off as local restaurants make the switch to cooler weather. Menus also are being updated to reflect the change of seasons. Here’s a selection of eateries around town taking advantage of local produce and products to make this fall the tastiest yet.

PANORAMA Forest Park Executive chef Edward Farrow is taking Forest Park’s latest attraction into fall with a slew of seasonal dishes, like An Ode to Autumn. This menu item will change up daily and feature a plethora of local seasonal fruits and vegetables in a variety of preparations. For a little bit of the East Coast in the Midwest, there’s always the warm water blue crab cakes, served with local apple, pecan and cabbage slaw with a roasted autumn squash coulis.

PHOTOS BY SARAH CROWDER

FIVE BISTRO The Hill Chef Anthony Devoti is taking the season by storm with his usual aplomb. Some highlights of his fall menu include a pork jowl which is sous vide for 10 hours, then put on the grill until it’s ridiculously tender. This pork-lovers delight is augmented with apple jam, maple syrup and blinis made from

Yukon gold potatoes. Fans of fowl need to dig into the confit chicken legs with polenta, parmesan reggiano, mushrooms and arugula. Devoti says the garden behind the restaurant still is producing plenty of kale, which will be making appearances on the menu as long as it holds out against the frost.

PRASINO St. Charles We’re told that the kitchen at Prasino has an abundance of local squash and sweet potatoes at its disposal, and these seasonal delicacies will be finding their way onto the fall menu in the coming weeks. Some of the seasonal bounty to look for include spaghetti squash and roasted acorn squash.

The vegetarian sandwich will feature grilled golden squash, and there will be plenty of local greens like kale, lola rosa, swiss chard and arugula in many of the offerings. Look for all of this garden goodness alongside such dishes as pan-seared pork loin, grilled swordfish, and damson and apple cobbler.

Soup fans, keep an eye out for the roasted empire apple and sweet potato soup.

SCAPE Central West End Nothing says fall like soup, and chef Eric Kelly has a butternut squash offering on his fall menu that should satisfy anyone’s craving for seasonal soup. This dish has honey, butter roasted butternut squash, sage, nutmeg and crème fraiche. Craving a cold dish despite the weather? Just because summer’s a memory doesn’t mean you can’t have a fine salad. Scape has you covered with a mix of seasonal chanterelle, caramelized sweet corn, toasted walnuts, baby arugula and aged chevre.

There also will be a fresh artichoke baked with with double cream Brie, extra virgin olive oil, minced shallots, white wine, heavy cream, rice wine vinegar and grain mustard.

Her take includes white cheddar, braised bacon, fried rosemary and pistachios. Seasonal veggies are all over the menu, as well, in dishes like the butternut squash ‘risotto’ with parmesan and sage. Dessert-wise, we can’t wait to dig into the Nutella Pop-tarts.

Prasino

Get Your Green On

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

LITTLE BY LITTLE, THE WESTERN REACHES of the St. Louis area are getting some quality restaurants to satisfy diners’ desire for food and drink that’s a bit more elevated. One of the latest arrivals to the scene is Prasino, which recently opened just across the bridge in St. Charles.

The restaurant is part of a small chain based in Illinois, and the St. Charles location is the first foray into Missouri. Prasino is Greek for ‘green,’ and the restaurant strives to live up to this name by providing as much sustainable, eco-friendly fare as possible.

And once guests step through the door, it’s clear this is no typical chain place. Soaring ceilings, sprawling dining areas surrounded by walls of refrigerated wine racks and wood floors, among other details, ensure Prasino feels anything but corporate.

The Prasino menu is all over the place as far as cuisine goes—with tacos, flat breads, sushi rolls, burgers and an array of larger plates to chose from.

But after perusing the menu for a bit, the lack of an overarching theme ceases to be an issue. As expected, everything is well-labeled as vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free.

The beverage program at Prasino is taken just as seriously as the food. There’s a healthy selection of craft beers, wines and an interesting and approachable cocktail menu featuring libations like the Gin U Win ($9), a combo of Death’s Door gin, Green Chartreuse, cucumber and lemon—sort of a lighter, summery take on a Last Word.

With a name that means ‘green,’ one would expect some fine salads to be available, and Prasino didn’t disappoint. The Heirloom Salad ($12) boasts an array

of heirloom tomatoes set off with a bit of basil, along with some tender vanilla-poached shrimp and a pistachio vinaigrette tying it all together.

We found the small plates/appetizer portion to be the most interesting part of the menu, with plenty of eclectic, and delicious, selections like the Tuna Tartare ($15), chunks of beautiful rosy tuna served on wontons and drizzled with a sweet and spicy firecracker sauce. The Chick Pea Cakes ($8) were a real find. These patties were crispy around the edges but soft inside, and complemented with the push and pull of some spicy harissa and cool tzatziki, as well as a bit of arugula on the side for some textural contrast.

We had to get in on the sushi, and the Lava Roll ($16) proved to be a good choice. This tasty roll included tuna, avocado, blue crab and the same firecracker sauce that came on the tuna tartare.

While there were plenty of burger choices under the Hands On section, the one that immediately caught our eye was the Portobello Burger ($9). The thick pieces of roasted mushroom topped with pesto proved a hearty meat substitute, and the truffled potatoes alongside really accentuated the earthiness of the portobello nicely. By the end of the meal we only had room for a bit of Mango Sorbet ($5); though next time around, the plan is to delve a bit deeper into the dessert offerings.

With good food and drink and a laudable ecofriendly attitude, Prasino is reason enough to head farther west.

MOVIE REVIEW

THEATER REVIEW

BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

Enough Said

WHAT HE SAID RATING: 6 out of 10

F

IRST AND FOREMOST, there’s the elephant in the room: This film represents the final work of the late actor James Gandolfini. It obviously has sentimental value; and while this film is not going to be winning any awards, it is—much like Gandolfini himself—a sweet, likeable, flawed movie.

Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a divorced masseuse, looking for something to fill her soon-to-be empty nest. When she meets Albert (Gandolfini) at a party, she agrees to go on a date with him despite the fact that there is no instant attraction. As the two progress and get to know each other, a genuine attraction develops. Enter Marianne (Catherine Keener), a lonely client of Eva’s looking for a friend with whom to vent about her stressful divorce.

The more Marianne talks, the more it becomes clear to Eva that Albert is her ex. And rather than come clean—the painfully obvious choice—she opts to continue to listen to Marianne’s vitriol. If you guessed it impacts her relationship with Albert, give yourself a gold star.

There is plenty to like about this film. The performances are wonderful, particularly Gandolfini, who leaves every bit of Tony Soprano behind. The problem is this: For what should be a charming film about romance after 50, Eva’s behavior—on all fronts—is so childish, it gives me pause as to whether people ever learn anything about relationships. In spite of that, Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini have some real moments of genuine chemistry that will almost make you forgive the plot—almost.

S A FILMmaker, there’s something of a damned-if-you-do, d a m n e d - i f-yo u don’t aspect to a project based on a true story. If the film sticks to the actual story, the result can be anti-climactic. On the other hand, if the filmmakers manipulate the script to make it a Cinderella story or to intensify the drama, they are criticized for it. This film is yet another example of a true story falling flat— although I’m not entirely convinced that’s what left me cold.

James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) is the playboy, the race-car driver with no head and all heart. He is a rock star behind the wheel, and he doesn’t hesitate to risk his life for the win. Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) is quite the opposite: analytical and introverted. He is as dedicated to winning as Hunt but takes an entirely different tack. That’s the movie: head versus heart. The men’s personal lives both adhere to their code of conduct, as well. And despite their profound differences, they develop a strong—if not moving—respect for one another.

The problem with the film is much like the character of Niki Lauda, the film lacks heart—there is no emotional connection.

Technically, the film is a masterpiece: the acting is impeccable, the direction is breathtaking and the script is tight. And that’s it. It’s odd really that a movie about such a nail-biting, white-knuckle sport could be so, well, blah.

Topdog/Underdog

BY MARK BRETZ

THE STORY Booth and Lincoln are brothers. They were given their names by their father as jokes, but their lives have been anything but funny. Abandoned first by their mother and a few years later by their father when Booth was 13 and Lincoln was 16, they’ve had to fight for their survival ever since.

Lincoln became adept at the hustling card game, Three Card Monty, and made quite a living for a while until he decided to get a more reputable job. Along the way, his wife, Cookie, left him. So these days, he shares a dingy, one-room apartment with his younger brother. Ironically, the black Lincoln has a job at an amusement park impersonating President Abraham Lincoln on the night he was shot at Ford’s Theater, complete with stovepipe hat, fake beard and white face makeup.

It’s not much, but Lincoln likes his work and contributes virtually all of the money to the household. Clouds are rolling in, though, as Booth sinks deeper and deeper into moodiness and resentment.

When Lincoln derides Booth’s own efforts at making himself a Three Card Monty dealer, and Booth’s relationship with a woman named Grace careens on a bumpy path, tensions escalate.

HIGHLIGHTS

COMPANY: St. Louis Actors’ Studio VENUE: Gaslight Theater, 358 North Boyle DATES: Oct. 4, 5, 6 TICKETS: $25-$30; 458-2978 or ticketmaster. com RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

See more reviews at laduenews. com

St. Louis Actors’ Studio’s seventh season begins in robust fashion with a sizzling rendition of Suzan-Lori Parks’ 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Topdog/Underdog. The loneliness, poverty, rejection and hopelessness of the brothers’ situation are fully realized in director Elizabeth Helman’s pointed interpretation and the scintillating performances of Chauncy Thomas and Reginald Pierre as the doomed brothers.

Pierre gives one of his strongest performances to date, judiciously finessing Lincoln’s own reaction to what life has dealt him. He’s every bit the big brother, consoling Booth on one hand, while maintaining his superiority due to the whim of chronology on the other.

It’s a splendid production all around, one that will leave a viewer sobered to the grim reality of the people in our midst who scrape by on the fringes of society.

unreliable, secondhand gossip from around the world* NICKI MINAJ

The flamboyant rapper recently appeared on Ellen to talk about her new album and clothing line, and to announce definitively that she would not be returning as a judge for American Idol. Ellen, also a former AI judge, sympathized with the Super Bass singer and agreed that the show was demanding, petty and unsatisfying. Yes, they sounded remarkably like two high-school cheerleaders who had been dumped by the star quarterback, but I’m sure that was just a coincidence.

DRAKE AND CHRIS BROWN Everyone will be relieved to know the two R&B mega-stars have buried the hatchet.

After an ongoing feud, where Drake slammed Brown for the assault charges against Rihanna, and Brown accused Drake’s music of being derivative (I’m guessing), the two made peace at the I Heart Music festival. I think I speak for everyone when I say, Thank God! That one was keeping me up at night.

CORBIN BLEU The former Disney kid and Dancing with the Stars contestant has been making it abundantly clear that he wants his former co-star, A-lister heart throb Zac Efron, in the audience cheering him on as he competes. Efron’s publicist was non-committal as to whether the 17 Again star would attend, blaming his demanding schedule.

DWTS producers again reiterated that the show’s full title, Dancing with the (People who Know) Stars, is too long for the program guide.

MILEY CYRUS As the fallout continues over her very un-Hannah Montana-like performance at the VMAs, the singer has more tongues wagging as she wags her tongue. Last week, Cyrus racked up a topless photo shoot and released her racy Wrecking Ball video. Miley also said in a recent interview that she had intended her on-stage sex simulation with married singer Robin Thicke to be even raunchier, but MTV stepped in at the last minute and insisted she tone it down. On the list of warning signs of a celebrity meltdown, needing MTV to act as a moral compass has to be near the top. * So don’t quote me

Parent Trap SO, I WAS WATCHING A NATIONAL MORNING news show last week—you know, the one with the girl with too much makeup, the short guy with thinning hair and three has-been stars from the ’90s. Anyway, in between the stories on teenfriendly lunches and senior-friendly dinners—both presumably served at the same time—there was a segment on parenting trends. Well, I set my leftover pizza slice down and took notice. God knows when it comes to parenting, I need to know what I am not doing that would be wrong if I were doing it.

Cranky (15), Whiny (14) and Punch (12) could use some solid discipline…or am I being too hard on them? Who knows? Hence, the parenting advice.

My parenting books were lost in a fire many years ago. Well, to be fair I couldn’t get the grill started, so suffice it to say, the books are gone. Frankly, with a new crop of problems breathing down my neck like proms and drivers and standardized tests and dating, I could use some words of wisdom.

Turns out the new trend in parenting styles is this: slacker parenting. That’s right, you just sit back and let the Titanic hit the iceberg. Well, then.

I would like to state for the record that I have been trying to get people on board with this strategy for years. If there was a mom at the playground without a juice box, it was me. The point is, five years ago, the child-rearing style du jour was ‘helicopter parenting,’ then came ‘the tiger mom.’ If you can’t guess from the names, they are very hands-on methods. Believe me when I say the dioramas that

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER got handed in for school projects were extremely high-quality.

Now we’re all supposed to take a step back; let them screw up their homework, clean their own rooms, fulfill their own mandated community service hours—presumably all in an effort to produce successful, self-sufficient children. That is the end game, after all. There are no participation trophies in life. That’s ridiculous. Who would even give them out?

Did you ever notice there are no self-help books for kids on how to be a healthy, productive child?

(Well, there probably are, but you see my point.)

Our children aren’t sitting around the lunch table at school discussing childing styles. Sorry, Annie, I can’t trade my apple for your pear, you didn’t wash it and germs are trending. Really, kids just follow their instincts. They forage, hunt and gather. They fight or they flee. Maybe they can survive—even thrive— without our constant interference. I could look into it; but apparently, I’m supposed to be slacking.

GAME ON! JOHNNY HELLWEG

BIG GUY IN THE BIG LEAGUES

BY FRANK CUSUMANO

the Brewers minor league pitcher of the year and was named to the All-PCL Team. He made his major-league debut June 28, and won his first game against the Cubs a little later. On Sept.

20, he pitched a solid five innings against the Cardinals.

Hellweg is not quite a polished starting pitcher yet. The growth spurts have changed some of his arm slots and it has affected his control.

However, he does pitch in the high 90s and has a bright future.

How did it feel to have all this late growth?

There were days I’d wake up and there would be a weird sensation that the ground was farther away. I think last year was the first year I didn’t grow a substantial amount, but it’s been a journey getting to where I am now. I was happy being 6’4”—that’s a good baseball height. Then I kept growing, growing and growing, and now I am overly tall. (laughs) Who did you grow up idolizing?

I liked everyone...Ron Gant, Ray Lankford...I was watching Chris Carpenter when I was in high school, and he’s over there in the other dugout.

It’s kinda surreal. I saw him during batting practice and I almost walked up to him.

I PHOTO COURTESY OF ROY DABNER/ JOURNAL SENTINEL

N ALMOST EVERY SPORT, BIGGER IS better. Every athlete—especially those who play basketball—has dreamt about it. If only I was 5 inches taller...I could be that Division One point guard, that quarterback, that starting pitcher. While there are plenty of examples of guys who are not tall who have thrived, it’s just a little easier if you are blessed with size.

Well, Johnny Hellweg was blessed with size.

He was plenty big when he graduated from St.

Dominic High School in 2007. Hellweg was 6 feet, 4 inches. At that point, most everyone is done growing, but not Johnny. He grew and then grew some more. By 2011, he was a towering 6 feet, 9 inches. He also was blessed with a special right arm. The Angels drafted him, and the Brewers acquired him in the trade for All-Star pitcher Zack Greinke.

The 25-year-old Hellweg responded by having a fantastic season this year in the minors: He was the AAA Pacific Coast League pitcher of the year,

How bad do you want this?

I always wanted it bad, but I wouldn’t say it was a ‘want.’ I always had a weird feeling that I knew it was gonna happen, it was just a matter of when.

Tell me about the phone call you made to your dad after you found out you were going to the big leagues.

It’s one I have been waiting to make for a long time. He was at a restaurant with my brother.

I could hear him—he was going nuts. I could just see him jumping around and making a fool of himself, but he had a right to. It was a cool experience.

FIVE THINGS I THINK: 1. If Matt Adams got 550 at bats next season, he would hit 30 homers with 90 RBIs. The Cardinals may be the only organization in baseball who couldn’t give a talent like this 550 at bats.

2. If you ever doubted the power of the NFL, never forget this: The television ratings for the rain delay between the Seahawks and 49ers on Sept. 15 were higher than 60 Minutes.

3. There are two things that are worthless in life: a politician’s promise and a college coach’s contract. They sign these extensions that go for eight years. Then a year into it, they get an offer, and they are out the door immediately.

4. I think the Cialis commercials are great. I have learned that romance comes from activities like painting and rowing with your wife. I have never tried either, but I am buying some paint, a boat and some paddles tomorrow.

5. My new favorite thing in life are the playaways. They are books on tape at the library, a little thicker than a credit card. You can never be bored if you are listening to one of those mystery novels.

Loden also emphasizes the importance of having a ‘medical home,’ as many patients without a primary care physician go to the emergency room. She cites a 2010 study of Medicare patients appearing in the American Journal of Managed care that showed when patients have a relationship with a primary care physician, hospital admissions and re-admissions are reduced.

Proactive health care is the key, especially for women, who commonly put their own needs last, Loden says. “Women so often are the caretakers for everyone else. they should take care of themselves.”

She recommends an annual appointment with a provider who specializes in women’s health. And don’t forget a flu vaccine every flu season, she adds.

says. “And the dining rooms and all the facilities are great. there are plenty of choices.” Nooney’s parents also lived at the Gatesworth; and he recalls that back then, it was a much smaller place. though his father lived there for only a short time, his mother was a resident for about eight years, he says. “the building she was in, the full nursing care building, was one of the original buildings. It’s right next to where we live now.”

Nooney, who currently works in commercial real estate, says it wasn’t just sentimental attachment that made him and his wife, Mildred, consider the Gatesworth. “the location is an advantage,” he says. “We grew up in Webster

Groves and clayton, and we weren’t interested in going way out west.” He adds that as a swimmer, he enjoys the fully equipped gym and uses the pool several times per week.

For Seebold, who moved from Illinois to join the Gatesworth, the cohesive community has been a source of joy for 21 years and counting. She loves to welcome new residents and help make them feel at home. “I tell people, including my daughter, to come early because there’s always something to do.” coming from a family with seven sisters, Seebold has a knack for conversation. “I eat with a different group every night, and anyone who wants to join us is welcome to join us,” she says. And if you do, be sure to raise a glass to the Gatesworth in honor of its first 25 years, and many more still to come!

the show are provided by Dillards and Mister Guy. “We have about 25 vendors with jewelry, clothing, monogrammed items, glassware and more,” ciapciak says. “It’s a nice way to start the holiday shopping season a little early.”

Funds raised at the event support the many educational, recreational and emotional support programs put on by Friends of Kids with cancer.

“Dr. bergamini, who is one of the founders, started with the idea of treating the whole child, not just the illness—not just the cancer,” ciapciak notes. the nonprofit provides everything from scholarships to testing for learning disabilities and art therapy, as

well as continued support for families even if their child passes away. “Most of them still stay a part of Friends and come to the Halloween and Winter Wonderland parties with the siblings. they want to stay connected, and they don’t want the little ones to suffer any more than they already have.” the fashion show is one of those memories that families will always have, no matter what is to come. “For some of the families, it’s the last time they got to see their kids smile and be happy—and it didn’t matter if they were bald, or if they had to be on crutches or in a wheelchair,” ciapciak says. “there’s no holding them back.”
