EDITOR’S NOTE

A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS ON THE RECEIVING END OF WELL-WISHING and treats from my editorial staff. The reason? Boss’ Day. I must admit, I was a bit embarrassed by the attention. Up until that point, the cynic in me always believed that Oct. 16, the designated day to celebrate your workplace superiors, was just another one of those manufactured card-company holidays. (Sweetest Day, anyone?)

But just the other day, I came upon a headline in The Washington Post that read, Is Your Boss Making You Sick? The article discusses how researchers have linked bad/difficult/lousy bosses to someone having an increased risk of a heart attack, as well as the potential for high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and sleep problems. As if that’s not enough, dealing with a bad boss also can lead to unhealthy behaviors like smoking, and excess eating and drinking.

So, back to Boss’ Day... I get it now: It does feel wonderful to be told you’re appreciated. I think I’d rather hear a cheery “Happy Boss’ Day!” and be gifted with decadent pumpkin donuts any day, considering the alternative...

For The Holidays

Paul Brown

(Expires December 20, 2014)

I had fallen behind the kids I was trick-or-treating with, when a couple of teenage girls in a Mustang pulled up and asked for some candy. Like a fool, I handed them my pillowcase so they could pick something. The tires squealed and they were gone with the loot.

I stood there dumbfounded. I spent the rest of the night begging weary neighbors for seconds.

My favorite Halloween memories are from the last few years. We live on a cul-desac and have a party with our neighbors. We set up a table where everyone puts their candy for the trick-or-treaters, light the fire pit, play spooky music and enjoy warm apple cider and good company all evening.

St. Louis author TERRY MULLIGAN is out with her latest novel, Afterlife in Harlem, described as “a supernatural soap opera on a political and historical stage.” The book envisions the ghost of Alexander Hamilton counseling Bill Clinton, who is suffering from ‘First Gentleman’s distress’ in 2016. The author, who was born and raised in Harlem and lived across the street from the Grange, Hamilton’s historic home, moved to St. Louis in the 1980s. Her first book, a memoir, Sugar Hill: When the Sun Rose Over Harlem, is the winner of two nonfiction writing awards.

The Ethical Society of St. Louis 9001 Clayton Road #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell delivers the next enthralling thriller in her high-stakes series starring Kay Scarpetta—a complex tale involving a serial sniper who strikes chillingly close to the forensic sleuth herself. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techo genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta’s own flesh and blood.

SAINT LOUIS ART MUSEUM

Art of the Sacred

T

O KICK OFF THE SAINT LOUIS ART Museum’s new exhibit, Atua: Sacred Gods from Polynesia, Maori artist George Nuku led a ceremony in the museum’s East Wing to prepare the space for the sacred objects that will be on display for the next several months. Atua are a concept embedded in ancient Polynesian culture, and these sacred artworks are believed to be deities and the spirits of ancestors, which were often kept in enclosed areas and cared for by a priest. “One understanding of the works is they actually are and embody atua,” says Nichole Bridges, associate curator for African art and associate curator in charge, department of the arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas. “It was appropriate to acknowledge that in the opening ceremony: to prepare the space for visitors to

encounter the atua, and for the atua to encounter the visitors.”

Atua are a concept that spread throughout the Polynesian Islands over a period of centuries, beginning some 3,000 years ago, as settlers discovered and founded communities on various islands.

The works featured in the exhibition represent a wide geographic distribution in the region between New Zealand, Hawaii and Tahiti. While some of the objects date back to the 15th century, the most recently constructed artwork was completed by Nuku at the Saint Louis Art Museum during the exhibit’s first week. “Most of this material has not traveled to the United States before,” Bridges notes.

“This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the most important Polynesian sculptures in Continued on page 65

tudents sewing costumes, building sets and even filling the director’s chair are common occurrences at Visitation Academy.

Its middle and upper schools’ theater program, led by drama and speech teacher Marty Strohmeyer, allows young women to take the reins in four annual productions. “We believe in entrusting them as leaders—if you trust them, they are going to trust it and go with it,” Strohmeyer says.

The theater program is one way the Catholic school instills its core values of scholarship, spirituality, leadership and service. “We encourage kids to develop who they are through those values,” notes head of school Rosalie Henry. “Our theater program is very unique in that it instills leadership and confidence.”

Each year, more than 100 students take advantage of the theater program’s hands-on opportunities onstage and backstage. The production season features a musical open to middle- and upperschool girls; junior and senior student-directed one-act plays performed by younger students and judged by local professionals; a drama or comedy

by upper-school girls, and a play by middle-school students. This year, performances include the ’20s drama, Radium Girls, and the musical production, Pinkalicious.

Through a range of courses, including drama, acting, advanced acting and technical theater, students learn all aspects of theater production.

And they apply those skills in hands-on roles for every part of each show, Strohmeyer says, from directing to leading the set, costume, prop and makeup crews. “We give them full leadership in organizing the productions. With each crew, the kids take ownership and really run those.” Girls often start as crew members, then become crew leaders as they get older and gain experience, he adds. “The girls are so eager. They want use the saw and the sewing machine.”

For more than 10 years, Strohmeyer has led the school’s theater program. “Families truly enroll their students at Visitation because of his talents and the impression he makes while he is directing in the St. Louis community,” Henry says. Among additional roles, Strohmeyer is the co-founder and

Q&A

BY CONNIE MITCHELL

with Merilee Kern

A Fitness Plan for Life

‌M

ERILEE KERN KNOWS ABOUT FITNESS. A former female body-building champion, Kern was an active child. Now that she’s a mother herself, she wants to ensure that her children and their peers benefit from physical fitness and healthy food choices.

That desire drove her to write Making Healthy Choices: A Story to Inspire Fit, WeightWise Kids. The recent addition of a companion mobile-phone app, Kids Making Healthy Choices, provides activities, recipes, online resources and research to supplement the book.

Kern recently talked with Ladue News about her passion for kids’ health and shared suggestions for parents who want to improve their children’s fitness.

I got more than a new knee.

I got a new me.

Tell us about your inspiration to write Making Healthy Choices.

Unfortunately, parents tend to be reactive to childhood obesity, dealing with the problem after it manifests, rather than proactive with a preventive mindset. Just as bad, many parents don’t know how to communicate with children who may be dealing with weight issues. And while bookshelves are filled with books that help parents manage their child’s weight and related health concerns, there are decidedly few illustrated fictional story books available that directly educate and inspire children to live a healthy lifestyle.

So, I wanted to take that alternate approach to address the issue directly in a way children could identify with and relate to.

What makes your book different from other children’s books about health?

The book depicts the life of an average overweight American kid in day-to-day scenarios where good or poor choices can be made, and then portrays the positive or negative result of those choices. In story form, the book illustrates the physical, social and emotional challenges associated with being an overweight kid in today’s society—the more common concerns and struggles from a child’s perspective. As the main character learns how to make positive lifestyle choices, he becomes empowered and achieves the goal of living a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.

There are gender-specific editions, helping the reader identify with the main character’s struggles—and ultimately, achievements—to motivate them to do the same.

Parents are encouraged to read this book, especially aloud with younger kids, so they can key in on those specific depictions that resonate with the child. Generally, it’s expected that the majority of overweight or obese kids will relate to one or more of the main

PARENTS TEND TO BE REACTIVE TO CHILDHOOD OBESITY, AND DON’T KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH CHILDREN WHO MAY BE DEALING WITH WEIGHT ISSUES. character’s ‘bad choices,’ as well as the implications of being an overweight child. If a parent has yet to establish dialogue with their child regarding their health, or are simply at their wit’s end having seemingly tried it all, this fictional story offers a non-combative opportunity for the child to see that someone does understand their struggle, and that relatively easy changes can be made that will result in a better lifestyle.

How can parents encourage their children to exercise when kids are more interested in video games or other sedentary pursuits?

Get creative! Maybe require that when your child watches television, he or she has to do some kind of exercise or physical movement during commercials.

While watching a movie on video or DVD, turn it off every 30 minutes and ask him or her to dance, jump rope or do crunches for five to 10 minutes.

Reward success. Ensure monetary allowance is also based on helpful yet healthy activities, such as vacuuming, walking the dog, shoveling snow and raking leaves. Make kids earn their treats or allowance by including physical activity benchmarks in their day. Challenge your child to set a fitness goal: for example, walking 5 miles; doing three sets of 20 sit-ups; joining a karate class. The possibilities are endless. Reserve at least one day each weekend dedicated to fun family fitness activities.

GET FIT INDOORS

What’s the single-most important piece of advice you would give parents who want to help their kids become more active?

Get organized and plan ahead! Set your family up for dietary success by preparing those foods in advance that will enable all of you to make better choices. When you’re cooking dinner, simultaneously prepare some healthy items for the next day or two, so that you can just grab and go. Perhaps a few canisters of pre-made salad. Some tuna already mixed with low-fat mayo, onions, celery, green apples with some handy whole-wheat pita bread. Low-fat yogurt smoothies are also pretty handy to drink on the run. Eating healthy is simply not as easy nor convenient to grab on the run, so you must prepare in advance, both in terms of grocery shopping and preparation. The good news is that there are many food items now that cater to moms-on-the-go, such as pre-cut veggies, etc.

‌Dance. Let the kids boogie away those calories.

Not sure how your kids can get physical activity on a rainy day? Kern provides some indoor fitness suggestions: ‌ alk or run up and down a stairwell W multiple times. Skip a step for added intensity and effectiveness.

Q&A with ‌Tom Stoner, principal

What sets Westminster apart?

Westminster is similar in many ways to other schools in that our academic and co-curricular programs are outstanding. We’ve got an extraordinary STEM program and an outstanding writing program, and four consecutive state baseball championships.

One major distinction is the fact that we’re a Christian school. Many parents and families in the area want their convictions to be a part of their children’s education. Our student body represents 220 different churches in the area.

October 24, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

What’s new at Westminster?

We have growing opportunities in the fine arts. Our new visual art department chair, John Sarra, was a professor at Washington University, and is leading that department forward. We are in our fourth year at our brand-new Town & Country campus. And I’m new—in my second year as the head of school—and I love being here.

What would people be surprised to learn about Westminster?

They may not know the academic opportunities that students have at Westminster. They can take classes in engineering, computer-aided design and Mandarin, and we have an extraordinary robotics program. Another thing is the nature of the school community, which is striking. Some of it results from the commonly held convictions of faith that shape our community. There’s a unique dimension to the school community that makes kids feel a part of something larger than themselves, and that has a force of its own that is special and powerful.

Mission Statement: Westminster Christian Academy honors Jesus Christ by providing an excellent education, rooted in biblical truth as interpreted by the Westminster Confession of Faith, for the children of Christian parents. Faculty and staff enable students to discover and embrace a biblical view of the world and integrate that view into every area of life.

IT’S ALL RELATIVE: THE GABRIELE FAMILY

From Sicily to St. Louis

PHOTO BY Sarah Conard‌

W

hen he arrived in St. Louis from Italy 50 years ago, Giovanni Gabriele had one dime left in his pocket. He saved that dime, just in case he needed it for a pay phone. As it turns out, he never really needed it in the first place.

Today, Giovanni gets calls on his cell phone all day long, talking with associates and customers, as well as his sons, Carmelo and Frank, who also are his business partners.

Together, the Gabrieles are among the most respected and successful restaurateurs in the city.

They own Il Bel Lago in Creve Coeur, Giovanni’s Kitchen in Ladue and the flagship Giovanni’s on The Hill.

In 1964, the elder Gabriele left his home in Palermo, Sicily, bound for America with his new bride of three months, Serafina. Her family had immigrated to St. Louis a few years earlier; but on a trip back to Italy, she married Giovanni, and together, they got on a ship to New York, then on a train to St. Louis and a new life.

“I achieved the great American dream as soon as I stepped off the train 50 years ago: I was in America, a country of opportunity,” Giovanni tells me as we sit down to talk at a dining room table.

The aroma of butter and garlic is as thick as his Italian accent—he didn’t speak a word of English when he first got here. “America has got a lot to offer to anybody; so if you work hard, you’ll be a noble person. You gotta get up in the morning and say, I gotta go to work,” he says. “There is nothing you cannot do in America. If I got it, then you can, too—even better.”

The legend goes that Giovanni came to America to open a restaurant, but it was a little more complicated than that. In Italy, he first served in the Italian Merchant Marines as a mechanical engineer, and worked in restaurants on the side.

When he arrived in St. Louis, he landed a job at the old Combustion Engineering plant on the city’s north side. The race to the moon was on, and they were building rockets for McDonnell Douglas and the space program.

It wasn’t long before Serafina became pregnant with Carmelo, so Giovanni took a second job as a busboy working under Vince Bommarito at Tony’s downtown. Even back then, Tony’s was one of the swankiest places in town. “I enjoyed seeing all the people all dressed up—the ladies wearing the jewelry and special dresses—I thought it was beautiful,” Giovanni recalls. “I fell in love with

the work. A few years later, when my English got a little better, I was promoted to waiter.” One night, his plant manager came in for dinner and he recognized Giovanni. “He was in a table for six, and he looked at me and said, Aren’t you Gabriele?

I said, Yes, and told him I had to come work here to get some extra money because my wife had a baby.” The next day at the factory, he got called into the office. “They said I couldn’t work two jobs, so I had to make a choice,” he says. “I had fallen in love with the restaurant, so I stayed at Tony’s.”

But Giovanni Gabriele’s journey wasn’t done yet. Ten years later, he bought a place of his own on The Hill. It was called Agostino’s, but he renamed it Giovanni’s. His then-boss at Tony’s soon found about it. “Vince Bommarito, he fired me,” Giovanni says with a big smile. “Vince says, You’re fired because you opened a restaurant—I was just a little guy!”

The rest, as they say, is history. Giovanni’s went on to serve meals to four U.S. Presidents, as well as Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey and thousands of St. Louisans and visitors who make the pilgrimage to the legendary Hill. “Giovanni’s is the only restaurant in Missouri to get Four

Diamonds from Triple-A for 25 years!” he says proudly, adding that sons Carmelo and Frank are a big part of the success.

Carmelo concurs by saying, “It’s all about hard work, consistency, quality and family,” he says.

“We’re a close-knit family. We still work under my father’s tutelage, we still respect my father’s wishes—we’re very loyal.” Carmelo also extends praise to his younger brother, Frank, “Frank started cooking when he was 12 years old, and my dad noticed he had a knack for it,” Carmelo says. “In my opinion, he is one of the best chefs in town. When the food comes from his hands, it makes a complete difference. He has his thumbprint on all the dishes that come out.”

America and St. Louis have indeed been very good to Giovanni and his family. Serafina is still by his side, and still as charming as ever. By the way, her family was waiting for the young couple at the station when their train pulled in that day 50 years ago, so Giovanni didn’t need to use a pay phone. I ask Giovanni if he saved that dime. He laughs and says, “No, but you can say I did, if it makes a good story.” I told him his story is pretty good, even without the dime. Besides, he never really needed it in the first place.

Ebola & Economic Uncertainty

T‌

O DATE, THE EBOLA VIRUS HAS infected approximately 9,000 people and killed at least 4,500 in several West African countries. The numbers continue to rise exponentially. The Centers for Disease Control says in a worst-case scenario, the infected numbers could balloon to 1.4 million by mid-January.

The limited spread of the outbreak to Dallas— where a Liberian man died and two nurses have been infected by the virus—and to Spain offer a glimpse of the potential of this epidemic to cause grave health risks and economic uncertainty to the entire globe.

In the countries directly impacted by this outbreak–Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and, to a much lesser extent, Nigeria–fear of the disease has interrupted the daily routine of millions of people, truncated the school year, and kept many from church and the local markets.

The second-biggest casualty of this epidemic has been the economic impact. In recent years, many African countries have experienced unprecedented economic growth. Indeed, eight of the world’s 15 fastest-growing economies are in Africa. They include Nigeria, which is the world’s third fastest-growing economy. Many other

BY BENJAMIN AKANDE, PH.D.

IN RECENT YEARS, MANY AFRICAN COUNTRIES HAVE EXPERIENCED UNPRECEDENTED ECONOMIC GROWTH...

ONLY TO SEE ALL OF THE GAINS WIPED OUT BY THE EBOLA EPIDEMIC. African countries, including Liberia and Sierra Leone, have made significant economic progress in recent years and attracted considerable overseas investment only to see all of the gains wiped out by the Ebola epidemic.

The agricultural sector, which accounts for 40 percent of the economic output in Liberia and Sierra Leone, and 25 percent of Guinea’s, has been hit particularly hard. The drop in production has been triggered, in large part, by the Ebola-related deaths of many farmers, which has effectively led to the loss of the planting season.

These events could ultimately hit closer to home in the St. Louis region. Ivory Coast, the world’s largest producer of cocoa, has shut its

borders to Liberia and Guinea, countries that are home to a large percentage of the migrant workers who pick cocoa. This labor shortage could delay cocoa exports and lead to a spike in cocoa prices, including the price of products made by local company ConAgra, formerly Ralcorp. Monsanto, which is engaged in limited trading of seeds and crop protection products in West Africa, also is paying close attention to developments in the sub-region.

Nigeria, one of the leading suppliers of oil to the United States, is a key reason why gas prices in the U.S. have remained relatively low over the years. In the face of the Ebola crisis, the government took swift actions in monitoring potential cases and has since been praised for its efforts in holding down the outbreak. The country also has experienced a rise in e-commerce as companies do their part to stock and deliver hygiene products, which help prevent the spread of Ebola.

In the early stages, the epidemic was largely portrayed as an African crisis; but as the struggle to contain what is potentially the biggest health crisis in modern times continues, one thing is increasingly clear: We all have a stake in this fight.

Ebola is a global catastrophe that requires all of us to pay attention and do what is necessary to stop the spread.

TALKING POINTS

Why Join Toastmasters?

‌T

BY FRED MILLER

OASTMASTERS IS AN INTERNAtional organization with more than 313,000 members in 126 countries.

It is a world leader in communication and leadership development.

I was a member for more than 20 years and gained many skills. For people who know the value of being a good speaker and want to be a leader, I regularly recommend they visit one of the many clubs in the area to find one that is a fit.

Re ce n t ly, I v i s i te d t h e C ave S p r i n gs Toastmasters Club in St. Charles. As a group, we mind-mapped reasons to join Toastmasters, and came up with many. Let’s look at them: Public-Speaking Skills If you’re a regular reader of this column, you are familiar with my mantra: Speaking opportunities are business, career and leadership opportunities. No one ever challenges that statement. Why would they?

Much of my individual coaching starts with a call similar to this: I’m sick and tired of co-workers who don’t work as hard, nor contribute as much as I do to the company, but they’re getting bonuses, raises, recognition and promotions because they are giving presentations and speaking at meetings.

Many are not very good speakers! However, they’re doing it and I’m not. Can you help me?

The fact is, we perceive really good speakers as experts: We like to work with experts. Companies and organizations like to hire experts. Experts can command more money for their products and services.

If you’re a leader, you’re expected to be a good speaker. Some are, many are not.

Toastmasters can help by offering a structured, learn-by-doing, program in a nurturing, non-threatening, positive atmosphere. Members advance at their own pace, with plenty of help and encouragement.

One of the first important things I learned after joining was this: Speaking in front of an audience improves one-on-one communication. Thus, even if you never speak or plan to speak formally to audiences, your communication in small groups will improve. The importance of this skill is relevant to people wanting to advance their career or business.

A person needs to communicate—and communicate well—with colleagues, managers, prospects and clients. You may be a subject-area expert, but

A PERSON NEEDS TO COMMUNICATE — AND COMMUNICATE WELL — WITH COLLEAGUES, MANAGERS, PROSPECTS AND CLIENTS. YOU MAY BE A SUBJECT-AREA EXPERT, BUT IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF WELL, IT AFFECTS YOUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT AND ADVANCEMENT. if you are unable to express yourself well, it affects your opportunities for employment and advancement. The lack of those skills also will hold you back if you’re in business for yourself.

Toastmasters has a long track record of teaching individuals to do this. They learn communication skills by working in the Competent Communication Manual, a series of 10 self-paced speaking assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking. You get out of the program what you put into it. There are many advanced programs beyond this, if a member wishes to learn more.

Many consider the ‘Evaluation of Speeches’ portion of each meeting to be most important.

Speakers’ talks are evaluated based on their experience, with attention given to what was done well, as well as areas needing improvement. Learning by doing and learning by observing are essential to improving public speaking skills.

Leadership Skills Leadership is the second learning track offered

by Toastmasters. Through the years, I’ve attended many meetings. Some were run exceptionally well; while others were conducted without structure, control by the leader, or goals in mind.

I’ve dropped out of networking groups because the presiding officer had no idea how to run a meeting. They either didn’t have or did not follow an agenda. People were allowed to talk too much or cut off when more time for them should have been allowed. Interruptions and off-topic remarks often were permitted. Individuals who are a bit introverted were never brought into discussions with a question from the leader like, Bob, I know you have knowledge of this topic. What do you think we should do?

Being the Toastmaster of a regularly scheduled meeting gives all members the opportunity to learn and practice the vital skill of being a leader and facilitating a meeting. Activities such as: preparing an agenda, filling positions for the meeting, conducting the business portion, and learning the basics of parliamentary procedure will serve one well throughout life.

Come back for next month’s column for more reasons to join Toastmasters!

Legal Corner

Dating During Divorce

By Julia Christensen

‌Y

ou’re newly single and itching to date. But, wait…should you? Three Area attorneys discuss how dating during a divorce proceeding can affect the outcome. Their overarching opinion? Wait until the divorce is final.

Dating while going through divorce can impact “pretty much everything,” says Craig Kallen of Kallen Law Firm, including division of property, maintenance, custody—even attorney fees. While a marriage may be dissolving, dating during a divorce still is—legally speaking—dating while married, even if it is during a separation. Kallen notes that courts do distinguish between relationships started pre- and post-separation. “If you’re seeing someone during your divorce, it’s going to take more time to get a divorce—and it’s going to cost more money.”

The problem with waiting? Divorces aren’t quick. “Generally, I say hold off on the dating— but for a lot of my clients, that’s not reasonable, because these cases can go on for six to eight months, easily,” says Barbara Behrens of Behrens Law Firm.

If dating can’t wait, Kirk Stange of Stange Law Firm says a few things to keep in mind are the amount of money spent on the new partner and the new partner’s past. “When you have kids involved, 40

October 24, 2014 {LadueNews.com}

in particular, it can be problematic,” Stange says.

For example, a new boyfriend or girlfriend with a history of problems—serious run-ins with the law, such as DWIs or sexual crimes—can have major swing during a custody case, he explains.

“Basically, the person that you’ll be seeing now is a person of interest in the court’s eyes—if they’re going to be exercising time with the children, their background and their wherewithal, as it relates to custody, is an issue,” Kallen says. “If they’ve got baggage, it’s going to hurt your case.”

Dating while still technically married also could possibly affect maintenance, or spousal support.

“You want to be careful because a lot of parties will overplay conduct and will be very upset about it from an emotional standpoint…especially if the other spouse was having an affair,” Stange says.

“When you look at the Missouri spousal support statute, the conduct of the parties is one of the factors.”

Behrens also notes that behavior during the marriage tends to be lower on the list. She states that when it comes to maintenance, the top factor is the length of the marriage, followed by the difference between the resources and the potential income. Wasting of marital assets can affect both maintenance and splitting the marital assets.

“With the split of the martial assets, the most important question the judge is going to look at is not if there was an affair—or two or three or four—but whether one of the parties wasted the marital assets.” She gives the example of a person who gambles away enormous amounts of money behind the spouse’s back. During a divorce, the wasting of those marital assets could be brought up and possibly returned to the non-wasting spouse. “The judge does have the discretion to not do a 50/50 split [of marital assets]; or, to do a 50/50 split, and then to take out the [spouse’s] marital potion of the money that was wasted,” she says. And much like marital assets wasted at a casino, martial assets used for new boyfriends or girlfriends can be fought in court during the divorce, says Behrens.

With all these maybes—problems that may vary divorce to divorce—one thing seems constantly relevant: Tell your attorney. “I know most folks… assume their divorces will settle, and they won’t end up in court,” says Stange. “But you never know, and I know as an attorney that I don’t want to be in the middle of a trial and find out my client’s been dating somebody I’ve never heard anything about.”

Do you have a documented and diversified investment plan? If yes, review your portfolio against your plan; should there be any deviations, develop a plan for rebalancing your portfolio. If no, consider the benefits of a long-term plan in achieving your financial goals, and work to establish one.

After more than five years of a powerful stock-market rally, volatility is back and stocks seem vulnerable to a pullback. Following the day-to-day headlines can be anxiety-provoking, so it’s best to keep market movements in perspective, and remember that most long-term plans account for market ups and downs.

120 S. Central Ave., 898-1338, pnc.com/wealthsolutions Investors have begun analyzing the performance of various asset classes during a federal rate-hike cycle, as the market is forecasting the very first rate hike next summer. Our analysis of prior cycles shows that as long as the market isn’t negatively surprised, volatility may increase, but stocks should follow profits higher and continue to move higher.

O

ne in eight American women will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. And less than 10 percent of breast cancer is hereditary—rather, it is sporadic cancer or related to an individual risk, notes St. Luke’s breast surgeon Dr. Patricia Limpert. “Unfortunately, the public has a skewed opinion about whether they are at high-risk for breast cancer. Because you don’t have a family history of breast cancer does not mean you have no risk.”

Limpert, director of the High-Risk Breast Clinic at St. Luke’s Women’s Center in Chesterfield Valley, leads an experienced staff in identifying women who are at high-risk for the disease. Likewise, she gives comfort to those who may think they are at high-risk, but are not. Annually, about 150 patients are treated at the clinic, which offers a comprehensive, proactive approach to breast health through specialized services and programs.

Once patients are referred to the clinic by their doctor, they are provided with genetic counseling, ongoing surveillance, state-of-the art imaging procedures and personalized care coordination.

Patients first receive a consultation to determine their risk profile through the clinic’s unique breast cancer risk assessment program, and its genetic counseling and testing services. “We give them a calculation of their risk,” Limpert says.

Breast Health

Why should I get a 3D mammogram?

At Missouri Baptist’s Breast HealthCare Center, we now can examine your breast tissue layer by layer, looking for any signs of cancer, in a way never before possible.

Since we began offering 3D screening mammograms, our cancer detection rate has increased as has our ability to identify cancers that are smaller in size. 3D Geoffrey Hamill, MD mammography represents the new standard in breast imaging. Missouri Baptist is one of only a few hospitals in Missouri to offer 3D mammography. 3D technology was approved by the FDA in 2011 and published studies show that breast cancers are often better seen in 3D because of improved resolution and visualization.

With 3D, women can benefit in many ways: 1. As we know, finding cancers in the earliest stages increases chances of surviving it. The 3D technology helps our doctors find smaller cancers sooner – especially in dense breast tissue.

2. 3D is especially important because it allows doctors to examine breast tissue one layer at a time, versus in 2D where overlapping tissue can make it hard to see signs of early cancer.

3. It’s also proven to reduce call-back visits for additional testing when results have been unclear, because with 3D doctors have the ability to better see the fine details.

3D is an optional, additional study women may choose to add at the time of their screening mammogram.

In addition to offering 3D, Missouri Baptist is renovating its Breast HealthCare Center to make the already highly scored patient experience even better. The project is scheduled for completion in early 2015. Visit Missouri Baptist’s website at missouribaptist.org/3D for more information and to view a brief video about 3D mammography http://www.missouribaptist.org/Home/BreastHealthCare.aspx To schedule your 3D mammogram, please call 314-996-5170.

Geoffrey Hamill, MD, section chief-mammography and breast imaging at Missouri Baptist’s Breast HealthCare Center, is a board-certified diagnostic radiologist. He received his medical degree from the State University of New York. He also completed his surgical internship at Swedish Hospital in Seattle and residency in radiology at University of Washington.

Add 3D to your mammogram.

At Missouri Baptist, now you can choose 3D mammography for your annual screening.

Early detection is key, and this new technology helps our doctors find smaller cancers sooner — especially in dense breast tissue. It’s also proven to reduce call-back visits for additional testing.

Just a reminder to make yourself a priority and schedule your 3D screening at 314-996-5170.

How may we help you?

Dental Health Why should I consider replacing my missing tooth with a dental implant?

This is a very common question. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium and ceramic materials that are completely compatible with body tissues. An implant is placed in the jaw to serve as a man-made root. Your natural bone fuses with the implant to create a rock solid connection that exceeds the strength of a natural tooth to bone connection. The implant(s) can then serve as support for a crown, bridge or denture. Over the 40+ years dental implants have been in use, they have proven to be extremely reliable and long lasting. Implants are free-standing; they do not depend on neighboring natural teeth for support. Implant restorations CANNOT get decay, which is the most common reason we have to replace dental work. Let me repeat that - DENTAL IMPLANTS CANNOT GET CAVITIES!! Dental implants are NOT like orthopedic implants (artificial hips and knees) in that patients say they are virtually pain-free during and after their placement. While it is impossible to give “guarantees” for the human body, a dental implant is the longest lasting restoration we provide and it has the potential to last a life time.

Dermatology

Joseph A. Muccini, MD

The spot on my body doesn’t hurt. I don’t feel anything.

It doesn’t itch. It doesn’t feel (or get) irritated. Why should I worry?

When patients offer these or similar statements, sometimes unbidden, they believe this is an unequivocal testament to benign behavior.

They are WRONG. While many benign lesions cause no pain or irritation, dermatologists often identify numerous malignant lesions that also do not hurt, itch, bleed or otherwise “bother” the patient. In fact, skin cancer usually is asymptomatic, at least initially. Cancer’s only constant feature is evolution and difference from the prior state. Not everything brown is bad. Not everything small is safe. Not all skin changes are malignant. But all malignancy involves change. If you see something evolve over time, whether it is red, flat, raised, bleeding, sore, ulcerating, growing, or just changing color, size, or shape, regardless of color, ask for a checkup. Even if this spot does not otherwise bother you, avoid thinking the absence of pain, itching or similar symptoms is reassuring. It may not be, and the decision to seek medical attention could save your life.

Joseph A. Muccini, MD is a Board-certified dermatologist with more than 20 years of experience in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology. He holds undergraduate and medical degrees from Harvard and Columbia Universities, and underwent postgraduate medical training at Harvard hospitals Massachusetts General, Brigham and Women’s, Boston Children’s, Beth Israel, and Deaconess. He also completed an internship in general surgery, fellowship and residency in dermatology, and a fellowship in cosmetic surgery.

Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Will I have to continue using my CPAP machine after my maxillomandibular advancement surgery (orthognathic surgery)?

One of the most common reasons that patients with obstructive sleep apnea are Reza Movahed, DMD referred to me for evaluation of treatment is the fact that they are not able to tolerate their CPAP machine or the fact that the CPAP machine is not adequate to manage their obstructive sleep apnea. Maxillomandibular advancement has been proven to be a very effect treatment modality for patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.

Studies were done at Stanford University, the surgery has a high rate of acceptance, which is close to 95% and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea has decreased extensively from an average index of 45 to below 10. This is a strong indicator of their improvements and the well managed position that maxillomandibular advancement surgery provides for them. Another one of the issues that patients with obstructive sleep apnea using CPAP complain about is they have difficulty sleeping next to their spouse and traveling becomes an inconvenience due to the fact that they have to carry their CPAP machine with them. So to answer the question, almost all patients undergoing maxillomandibular advancement will not require any further need of a CPAP machine. The surgery along with its adjunctive procedures will allow the surgeon to provide the most patent nasal airway for patients suffering from sleep apnea and ultimately ridding the patient anatomy of any obstruction during sleep.

Reza Movahed, DMD received his doctorate in dental medicine from University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, he then completed an internship in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery at the Brooklyn Hospital Center, New York. During the course of his residency in Florida at Nova Southeastern University, he was exposed to the full scope of the specialty. Due to his interest in dentofacial deformities and temporomandibular joint disorders, Dr. Movahed completed a fellowship under Dr. Larry Wolford at the prestigious Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas Texas. In July 2013 he entered private practice at Oral Facial Surgery Institute, where he serves as an associate and attending surgeon to the fellowship program. As of January 2014, Dr. Movahed has joined the Saint Louis University (Department of Orthodontics) as a clinical assistant professor, teaching and overseeing the surgical (orthognathic) cases.

Creating HeALTHy, confident SMILeS. My dentist recently recommended that I make an appointment with you for an orthodontic evaluation.

What’s the best age to visit the orthodontist and how would an adult benefit from orthodontic treatment? - Mary Anne, 41

Visiting the orthodontist at any age is good if you want to improve your smile and enjoy a healthy, stable bite. I recommend children have their first orthodontic visit near age eight. Many orthodontic problems are more easily corrected if detected at an early age—before jaw growth has slowed down. Early treatment may prevent serious complications at a later age.

Significant benefits of proper orthodontic treatment for adults include: • Better long-term health of teeth, gum tissue and supporting bone.

• Improved function of bite.

• Correction of abnormal function of the jaw joints (TMJ’s) which includes clicking, popping and pain in, and around, the joint area (frequently producing headaches).

• A healthier, more attractive smile and in turn a boosted self-confidence and better quality of life with the freedom to smile without restraint!

• Optimizing other treatment: by coordinating certain types of treatment with other dental specialists to prepare for implants, crowns, bridges, jaw surgery for bite correction and TMJ surgery.

I strongly believe the psychosocial impact of crooked teeth or poor facial balance can profoundly impact one’s self-esteem and overall well-being. The ultimate goal of high-quality orthodontic treatment is not only straight teeth, but also a properly aligned jaw, good facial balance and normal function.

Orthopedic Surgery People often pose the question: How can I avoid injuries caused by over exertion or over use?

Whether you use a personal trainer or exercise on your own; understanding how to prepare for physical activity and recognizing your body’s limitations is the key to avoiding an injury. Before you begin any physical exertion, be sure to stretch. A minimum of five to 10 minutes is required to warm up your muscles and should be repeated at the end of activity. When working with a trainer, make sure your program is tailored to your individual age and/or physique. Exercise programs are not one size fits all—tolerance varies with age and body builds. Tendinitis can occur when expectations exceed what the body is capable of supporting.

If you are exercising on your own or involved in regular physical activity, the same rules apply. Stretch at the beginning and end of physical exertion, for at least five to 10 minutes and concentrate on a range of motions. In addition, use common sense and take into consideration the amount and type of exercise you, personally can handle. It is important to build endurance and strength slowly. For example, a person who has been running 1 mile a day cannot jump to 5 miles without a transition period. Overextending oneself is what leads to overuse and strain of muscles and/or tendons and injury.

Plastic Surgery Is there anything I can do to get a fresh new look before the holidays?

Absolutely. There are several easy and effective procedures we use to repair and rejuvenate your face in time for the holidays. If you’re looking to get rid of wrinkles and lines, we offer a number of FDAapproved dermal fillers that produce amazing results. Many fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are great for eliminating wrinkles and hollows around the mouth and eyes. Juvederm Voluma™ is a remarkable new product that can shape and lift the cheeks and reduce the appearance of your jowls. Treatments typically take less than an hour. Best of all, the results are immediately noticeable and last up to two full years. Some mild swelling or bruising may occur, but usually is gone within a few days. To eliminate brown spots, facial redness and broken capillaries, one or two treatments with our Lumeca intense pulsed light system are a quick solution. The light in this painless procedure is absorbed by unwanted pigment and damaged blood vessels. Your brown spots may darken slightly afterwards and gradually flake off, leaving your skin smooth and younger looking. Most patients experience no downtime from work or social activities. Give yourself a fresh new face for the holidays. Call us today and we’ll have you looking your best before the festivities begin!

Otolaryngology

What is sinusitis and what are the symptoms?

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the tissue lining of the sinuses that afflicts nearly 35 million Americans. Sinusitis is a highly symptomatic condition that has a dramatic impact on quality of life.

Normally, sinuses are filled with air, but when sinuses become swollen or blocked and filled with fluid, pathogens (e.g. bacteria, viruses and fungi) can grow and cause an infection. Structural issues, such as anatomic narrowing of the sinus ventilation pathways, often contribute to the development of sinusitis.

There are four types of sinuses – maxillary (behind the cheek bones), ethmoid (between the eyes), frontal (in the forehead) and sphenoid (behind the eyes). All of these sinuses can be affected by sinusitis. The majority of cases involve the maxillary, ethmoid and frontal sinuses.

Common sinusitis symptoms are nasal congestion, facial pain/pressure, nasal obstruction/blockage, nasal discharge, fever, headaches, fatigue, dental pain, bad breath, and lack of energy.

I am frustrated with my sinusitis, yet I don’t want to undergo sinus surgery. Is there an alternative?

Balloon Sinus Dilation is an excellent alternative to sinus surgery.

Balloon Sinus Dilation is a proven procedure, performed in the office, and covered by the vast majority of insurance plans.

Unlike conventional sinus surgery, Balloon Sinus Dilation combines state-ofthe-art technology with surgical expertise to relieve painful sinus symptoms without general anesthesia, extended recovery times, or the removal of bone and tissue. During this simple procedure, a tiny, balloon-tipped catheter is inserted into the affected sinus opening and dilated to restore proper drainage and ventilation. After the removal of the balloon, a stent is not required and, for many patients, relief can be felt almost immediately.

As one of the principal investigators in the national REMODEL study, Dr. Gould notes: “Patients experience results that can be completely life changing – with outcomes statistically proven to be equal to traditional sinus surgery, but with faster recovery times, lower costs, and less need for post-operative pain medications.”

“As a National Center of Excellence for In-Office Balloon Sinus Dilation, we have opened our doors to show the procedure and protocol to other physicians,” Dr. Gould says. “ I was also honored to be able to perform Balloon Sinus Dilation in a live telecast to educate an audience about the procedure and show how we are advancing patient care. In everything we do, we create exceptional patient experiences while providing technologically advanced sinus therapy.” To learn more about Balloon Sinus Dilation, watch our video animation at www.stlsinuscenter.com and request an appointment on line.

Psychiatry

Steve Harvey, MD

I’ve had severe depression for years, and medications and counseling haven’t helped much.

Now what?”

Another good option for treatment of Major Depression is TMS. TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) often works for people who don’t improve with other treatment options, or who can’t tolerate medications.

TMS involves MRI-strength magnetic pulses applied to targeted areas of the brain. The magnetic pulses stimulate electrical activity in an area called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Stimulation of that area has been proven effective in major depression. TMS was approved by the FDA in 2008, and since that time the treatment has improved with newer equipment that stimulates more deeply into the cortex of the brain.

Are you suffering from Major Depression?

If you are suffering from major depression and antidepressants and psychotherapy have failed, please call us at (844) WANT-TMS and find out if deep TMS is right for you.

What is Deep TMS Therapy?

• Deep TMS Therapy is a non-pharmacological treatment (no medication.)

FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression.

It is safe, effective, and non-invasive.

Deep TMS Therapy uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain associated with depression and other brain disorders.

Sleep Medicine

Why is getting the proper amount of sleep essential for good health?

Don’t cheat on your sleep. “Sleep is essential for good health, safety and optimal performance. The general public isn’t always aware of the dangerous consequences that can result from lack of sleep.

Yet sleep deprivation and sleep disorders take a toll in lost productivity, medical expenses, sick leave, and property and environmental damage,” Dr. Schwartz says.

One of the most common sleep disorders, sleep apnea, is easily treated. Sleep apnea is characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Each pause in breathing, called an apnea, can last from 10 seconds to several minutes, and may occur 30 or more times an hour.

There are three forms of sleep apnea: central (CSA), obstructive (OSA) and a combination of the two, which is called complex or mixed sleep apnea. In obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form, breathing is interrupted by a physical block to airflow despite respiratory effort, and snoring is common.

Sleep apnea is often diagnosed with an overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram, or “sleep study.”

Getting the proper amount of normal sleep is more than just beauty rest; it is about giving our bodies the time it needs to rejuvenate and keep us healthy.

Oscar Schwartz, MD, is a sleep medicine physician and medical director at the BarnesJewish West County Hospital Sleep Center.

TEST DRIVE

SPORTS CARS

More Smiles to the Gallon

Y

BY ROBERT PASTER

ES, CARS PROVIDE TRANSPORtation from point A to point B, but why make driving a chore?

With a sports car, every trip to work or to the grocery store also can be a lot of fun. For those with a need for speed, a sports car provides looks, handling, acceleration and more ‘smiles’ to the gallon than any other type of vehicle. They can also be taken to the track for some real fun.

The common denominator for sports cars is fun, and one of the most fun cars I’ve driven in a long time is the new Subaru BRZ. This thing is just a hoot. It starts with its basic long hood, short reardeck architecture, casting a relatively short shadow on a car with tightly drawn lines, flared fenders and an aggressive-looking front end. It then adds a horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine sitting low in the compartment to lower the center of gravity. The grand total is a lightweight (2,764-pound) rear-wheel-drive sports car that’s a blast to drive.

It’s clear that this is a performance car: Seats are well-bolstered to hold you in place during hard cornering; the large tachometer sits in the center of the gauge cluster; it has a limited slip differential; the precise short-throw shifter allows for quick shifts; and the free-flowing exhaust not only improves engine breathing, but also sounds fantastic. There are vestigial rear seats suitable for small children—or more likely a briefcase—but their primary purpose is probably to reduce insurance rates. The rear seatback folds down to increase the trunk room. Amenities include automatic climate control, heated seats, navigation, keyless entry and HD radio, though audio buttons on the dash screen are on the small side and there are no radio controls on the steering wheel.

Gas mileage is 22 mpg city, 30 highway from the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that can be bolted to a proper six-speed manual transmission or an optional automatic. If you’re going to get this car, do it right and get the excellent manual.

The steering feel and handling are superb, thanks to the tight, sporty suspension; the brakes are good, as well. This is a true driver’s car.

On a recent track day at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois, I got to drive a Scion FRS,

Mercedes-Benz SLK

Subaru BRZ

the BRZ’s Scion twin, on the track. I had just driven a 545-horsepower Nissan GT-R, sometimes referred to as Godzilla, due to its overwhelming power and impressive handling. Driving the GT-R fast is easy. It’s an automatic, so you just stomp the accelerator and fly around the track. The FRS/ BRZ on the other hand, only has 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque, so you have to work at being fast. Its handling and manual gearbox are so good, though, that it really rewards good driving. Not to mention, the GT-R costs four times as much as the BRZ, which is the perfect car for someone with a limited budget who wants to learn how to drive well on a track and have lots of fun in the process. The fact that it’s a great everyday car, as well, is icing on the cake.

Carl Meyer, sales manager at Webster Groves Subaru, says “The BRZ is a true sports car that’s inexpensive, comfortable and offers a manual transmission, as well as an automatic option.”

The Subaru BRZ will only set you back about $26,500 to start.

Another fun sports car is the Mercedes SLK. A classic two-seat, open-top sports car, the SLK is a sharp-looking small convertible that offers the best of both worlds with a retractable hardtop for coupe-like safety and comfort in the rain and

cold, and top-down cruising when the weather allows. Combine this with Mercedes’ quality and plethora of luxury features, and you’ve got a combination that’s hard to beat. Even with the top up, a glass panel in the retractable roof lets in the sun or offers a view of the stars.

Luxury features include rain-sensing windshield wipers, navigation, dual automatic climate control, adaptive cruise control, electric seat adjustment with door-mounted controls and three memory settings, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, heated seats with air scarf and a programmable garage-door opener button.

The 7-inch screen atop the dash displays audio, ventilation and other functions, and is controlled by a remote knob between the seats, not a touch screen. The trunk is adequate with the top up, but a bit cramped top down.

The SLK is powered by a 1.8 liter, 4-cylinder turbo engine that pumps out 201 horsepower to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Gas mileage is an impressive 23 mpg city, 33 highway. The thick, leather-wrapped, flatbottom steering wheel has a really good feel to it, which is complemented by responsive steering and handling. Acceleration is brisk, though not overwhelming, with just a hint of turbo lag, and should be more than adequate for most SLK owners. The suspension is comfortable and has a nice taught, athletic feel. Its diminutive size makes it easy to maneuver and park, yet it has a spacious cabin.

Matt McMillin, sales manager at MercedesBenz of St. Louis, says of the SLK, “It’s the most fun you can have with the top down—and your wallet still intact. In addition, there are lots of great safety features.”

The SLK starts at about $45,000 for the fourcylinder, $58,500 for the V-6, and $71,000 for the AMG version V-8.

The Mask SO, HALLOWEEN IS NEXT WEEK. DEPENDING on your disposition, you are either stocking up on Fun-Sized Snickers or making sure you can override the timer on your exterior lights. Regardless of your penchant for spooky—or lack thereof—the season often calls for a costume. I have always prided myself on my ability to turn the most everyday, comfortable outfit into a costume. For three years, I was Alex from Flashdance (off-theshoulder sweatshirt, leggings—piece of cake).

I also revisited Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction a couple of times (all-black with Cleopatra wig—I’d even do the dance).

There always are fantastic costumes that require work. If you’re up for a big effort (and possibly a mess), go as Mystique from the X-Men movies, or as Carrie, post-blood dousing. If you’re a fan of a period piece, you could go as Daisy from The Great Gatsby, or Anne Boleyn from the HBO series, The Tudors. A fan of fantasy? Try anyone from Game of Thrones, American Horror Story or Guardians of the Galaxy.

If however, your primary concern is comfort, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. If you want be relaxed on Halloween, but still make the quarter-finals of the costume contest, here are some suggestions: Tris from Divergent Black skinny jeans, black tank, black leather jacket, hair in ponytail, temporary tattoo.

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER

Veronica Mars Same exact thing as Tris, but with the biggest camera and/or binoculars you have.

Orange is the New Black Prison jump suit. Done.

Maleficent It seems complicated; but really, you just need the weird horn hat and a black robe, and you’re set.

Guys have it a little easier—Danny from Grease, Joel from Risky Business, Jake and Elwood Blues— there are plenty of options for a costume that is both comfortable and clever. If the look needs some updating, here are some options: True Detective Scraggy beard, messy hair, baggy clothes, gun and badge—or be the other guy.

Duck Dynasty Fatigues, big beard, decoy Mad Men Dark suit, dark tie, martini The Walking Dead Any sort of torn, ragged zombie-appropriate attire will do.

Hope that helps. Happy Halloween!

St. Vincent

SINNERS/SAINTS RATING: 8 out of 10

T

HERE IS NO BIGGER Bill Murray fan than I. I’ve never not loved him in a film (and yes, I have seen Ghostbusters 2). The man is magical. He’s funny, sure, but there’s something compelling in his performances that despite how despicable the character, you just want to root for him. That is the primary reason this movie is so good.

Vincent (Murray) is a broke, drunk, bitter man. When heartbroken divorcee Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) and her young son, Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher), move in next door, Vincent’s financial woes overshadow his disdain, and he offers to watch Oliver for a few hours after school each day. Oliver is a sweet, shy child; and Vincent quickly teaches him the world, according to his rule book, including trips to the track and local bars, and a lesson in self-defense. Meanwhile, at school, Oliver is tasked by his teacher, Brother Geraghty (Chris O’Dowd), to study the Catholic saints.

Vincent is in trouble with a local loan shark, over his head with his regular prostitute Daka (Naomi Watts), and clearly in poor health. While he bonds with Oliver, there is an overwhelming sense of dread that this will not end well. That being said, the story is immensely gratifying and charming in its simplicity.

Fury

WAR IS HELL RATING: 6 out of 10

L

ET’S TALK ABOUT BRAD Pitt for a moment. There’s no debating the fact that he’s a beautiful, beautiful man.

Yet, he’s not a pretty boy. He’s an Oscar-nominated actor. He does, however, have a few tells—a couple of fallback moves that remind us we are watching Brad Pitt. If I had a nickel for every scene where he’s eating a sandwich...

So, when Fury was being promoted, I feared Pitt would simply recycle his Inglourious Basterds Nazi-hunting soldier, and that would be that. I am happy to report, however, that is not the case.

Of all this film’s flaws, Pitt is not one of them. In fact, his performance maybe the reason to see it.

It’s 1945, and the Allied troops are fighting a last-ditch assault by the Germans. Pitt plays Dan Collier, an army sergeant in command of a tank nicknamed Fury. With him are Gordo (Michael Peña) Grady (Jim Parrack) and Boyd (Shia LaBeouf).

When their gunner is killed, a young clerical worker, Norman (Logan Lerman), joins the merry band. For most of the movie, the group sweeps through Germany, clearing out stray troops without mercy. When their tank is crippled by a landmine, they are left to face hundreds of marching SS, fully prepared—if not expecting—to die in battle. And so, David faces Goliath.

The big problem here is that the film makes no sense. The reason the men choose to stay and fight is baffling. Now, if you can get past that tiny issue, the film is not without merit. There is some beautiful cinematography, the acting is brilliant, and the effects are incomparable.

Antigone

BY MARK BRETZ

STORY: Eteocles and Polyneices, brothers and the sons of the late King Oedipus of Thebes, die in battle on opposite sides of the civil war fought in Thebes. Their uncle, Creon, now ruler of Thebes, declares that Eteocles shall be honored as a patriot and given a proper burial, but that Polyneices’ body should be left in the streets, to be preyed upon by carrion birds and animals.

In defiance of her uncle, Antigone buries her brother Polyneices and incurs Creon’s wrath. He orders her to be buried alive in a cave as punishment, spurning his son Haemon’s plea that his fiancé, Antigone, be spared.

When the blind soothsayer Tiresias warns Creon that he has angered the gods with his decree, and the Chorus warily implores Creon to change his mind, he agrees. The wheels of fate, however, have been set in motion, leading to unbearable tragedy for Creon as a result of the tardy abandonment of his pride.

HIGHLIGHTS: This classic tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles has been adapted and translated scores of times through the centuries. The latest version, by author David Slavitt, is receiving its world premiere as the opening production of Upstream Theater’s 10th season.

Meticulously directed by artistic director Philip Boehm and featuring superb performances by a stellar cast, Upstream’s presentation shows the timelessness and enduring perceptive power of Sophocles’ observations of human foibles.

RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

GROUP: Upstream Theater VENUE: Kranzberg Arts Center, 501 N. Grand Blvd.

DATES: October 24-26 TICKETS: $20-$30; 863-4999 or brownpa pertickets. com More reviews available at laduenews.com

Boehm’s cast is uniformly impeccable in their portrayals, all well versed in the gravitas of the situation, as circumstances transcend character traits and rush these mortals to tragedy and misfortune.

Maggie Conroy excels in the title role, evincing Antigone’s unwavering belief in her moral code. She parries and thrusts in verbal combat with Peter Mayer’s Creon, a king who rages in authority and demands obedience to his decisions, right or wrong.

Dennis Lebby, Norman McGowan and Patrick Siler make a sobering Chorus, while John Bratkowski offers a marvelous turn as Tiresias, the blind prophet. Andrew Michael Neiman brings quiet persuasion and subsequent volcanic anger to the role of Haemon, who lobbies unsuccessfully for his fiancée’s life.

Boehm’s observations and thorough direction make clear how relevant Antigone continues to be, millennia after its first performances, showing how the Fates continue to hold sway even in the 21st century.

Hendel’s Market Cafe

20 Years of Tradition

BY SIDNEY LEWIS

OF LATE, WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO INCLUDE old favorites in our culinary rounds, eateries that have stood the test of time and continue to serve up quality fare and memorable dining experiences year after year. The latest of these venerable restaurants is Hendel’s Market Cafe, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year in Old Town Florissant.

Housed in a former grocery and general store that was founded in 1873, the building was transformed into a restaurant in 1994, when the last of the Hendels retired from the shopkeeping business. The restaurant retains all of the rustic charm of the original building, with the feeling of a country inn, cozy and inviting. There’s a dearth of pretense and a wealth of charm here, with plenty of indoor dining as well as an inviting patio space and bar area. As we were being seated, we heard several regulars being called by name by the waitstaff—always a good sign.

The Hendel’s dinner menu is broken up into Share, Greens, Signature and Tradition. From the shareable selections, we opted for the Crab Stuffed Mushrooms ($8), five meaty mushroom caps filled with rich crab meat, savory herb cheese and garlic cream, and served piping hot.

The Signature section has a good selection of meat-centric dishes, from filets to pork chops to burgers. We went with one of our favorite cuts of meat, the New York Strip ($22). The steak arrived at the table cooked a perfect rosy rare and smothered in a wild mushroom demi-glace. The sauce was savory but not overpowering, allowing the

flavor of the meat to come through loud and clear, subtly augmented but not overwhelmed.

Under Tradition are several pasta and fish selections, as well as some chicken and mushroom dishes. Of these, the Grilled Trout ($19) really stood out for us. The hefty filet of Idaho trout was laid out on a bed of long grain rice and accented with some artichoke heart and asparagus, giving it a bit of tang and weight to the fish, which, though rich and flavorful, was on the lighter side.

In addition to the food offerings, Hendel’s has a substantial beverage program. The libations include a small but fairly diverse selection of spirits, a wine list that has a wealth of by-theglass options, beers that include several in larger bottles for sharing and some really solid cocktail selections. We especially enjoyed the A Night of Ransom ($8), a bright balance of Ransom barrel-aged gin, Campari, maraschino liqueur and lemon juice.

St. Louis is a colorful collection of neighborhoods, though its denizens have a tendency to stay within the confines of their own enclaves, at the risk of missing out on much of the tasty goodness the city (and county) at large has to offer. Fans of quality local restaurants, break out of that comfort zone and head north to Hendel’s.

You won’t be disappointed.

THE WINE LIFE

Grenache: What I’m Drinking Now

G R E N AC H E I S RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE MOST DELICIOUS AN D EXPENSIVE WINE IN THE WORLD.

mourvèdre. It notably is a high-quality Côtes du Rhône. Let’s sniff, swirl and taste: Color: Dark ruby Aroma: Plums, red currants, mineral and floral notes Taste: Red and black fruits with a slight stewed fruit note, as well as wet stone mineral, cinnamon and white-pepper spice. Also, it has moderate alcohol for nice mouth feel, and soft but noticeable tannins.

Rhône/ South France: Southern Rhône, home to grenache, produces about 10 times the amount that northern Rhône does, and thus, has some great value wines. OK, we know the famous Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation, but here are some of the other appellations you should explore: Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages. Depending on the vintagem, even the basic Côtes du Rhône makes good, approachable wine. So the finesse here is blending to make great wines. Grenache carries through farther south to Lirac and Tavel, which make some stunning rosé, and to the Languedoc, where it is used mostly for blending.

Spain: Garnacha is the third most widely planted grape in Spain, and is most prominent in the northeast and central regions of the county.

Garnacha blends well with other bigger-structured grapes like tempranillo, syrah and cabernet sauvignon; and has shone in regions such as Rioja and Priorat. Depending on the soils, vineyard management and amount of oak treatment, garnacha can be generally soft- or fuller-bodied in hotter regions. Spain delivers some great values in garnachas with big forward fruits, with or without oak.

Australia: Although shiraz is the main grape Down Under, what also helped put Australia on the wine map is its quality ‘GSM’ (grenache/ shiraz/mouvedre), which has garnered much press and high scores in wine publications. Although the U.S. market got flooded with poor-quality shiraz, which led to the decrease in Australian wine consumption here, there are quality wines such as GSMs. Cooler regions like McLaren Vale or Clare Valley are more restrained, compared to hotter regions like Barossa, where they tend be big, jammy fruit bombs.

United States: Grenache loves the warm, dry climate of regions like Santa Barbara, Central Coast, Mendocino and Washington State.

Grenache has not gained huge popularity as a single varietal, but, again, shines as a blend. The

Rhône Rangers, a group of American winemakers who promote the use of grape varieties from the Rhône Valley in the south of France, helped elevate this grape in the U.S. Tasting Tip: Higher-alcohol-content wines like grenache will produce bigger ‘legs’ or ‘tears’ running down the sides of the glass. Bigger legs is not a sign of quality, but rather higher alcohol content.

Wine Recommendation: The spice in grenache makes it a perfect pairing buddy to spiced and herbed foods, including roasted meats, vegetables and many ethnic foods. A high-alcohol grenache can help soothe the burn of an ethnic, spicy food such as lamb vindaloo. There’s plenty of tasty grenache to try!

RISP AIR, ROARING outdoor fire pits, and colorful, crunchy leaves—autumn has arrived! As we feel the fall season around us, our minds and tastes swing to red wines. And now, grenache has unmistakably drawn me in.

Grenache comes in many styles, from soft to full-bodied blends. It is a grape that likes warm, dry weather and ripens late. It is lower in acidity, color and tannins; therefore, it often is blended with bigger-structured grapes like syrah, carignan and tempranillo. Due to the warm climate it prefers (and the late ripening) grenache produces big, fruity wine with higher alcohol content.

The unique candied fruit and cinnamon flavor often is what gives grenache away to expert blind-tasters. It has a medium to full weight in taste, though its color is lighter. When grenache is grown in Old World regions such as Rhône, it can have mineral and herbal notes of stone, dried oregano and tobacco.

Grenache is responsible for some of the most delicious and expensive wine in the world. From illustrious regions like Châteauneuf-du-Pape to cult California wines, grenache to many is just as important in the wine world as cabernet sauvignon.

Grenache is probably best known in southern Rhône, where it is the main grape mostly blended with other grapes of that region.

Chateauneuf– d u - P a p e likely put this region on the m a p s eve ra l decades ago, using up to 13 grapes in the blend, with grenache playing the big role. The grape is said to originate from Spain’s northern Aragon region. In Spain, grenache here is known as garnacha.

I looked through rows and rows of red wines and decidedly reached for a 2011 Château Beauchêne Côtes du Rhône Premier Terroir, which has 70 percent grenache, 25 percent syrah and 5 percent

here was no three-peat at the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship for St. Louis native Ellen Port.

The defending two-time champion lost 3 and 2 to Martha Leach in 32 rounds at Hollywood Golf Club in Deal, New Jersey.

Port never led and never challenged against the player she last faced in the 2011 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur final. Port won that match 2 and 1 to claim her fourth title in that championship.

But this time, Leach charged ahead early and never looked back.

“You have to hit the golf shots,” says Port, a six-time USGA champion. “I’m capable of hitting them, but I just didn’t execute; and when you get down early, it’s hard to come back against a good player.”

Missouri State Women’s Senior Amateur The trophy that goes to the winner of the Missouri Women’s Senior Amateur Championship stays in her possession for another year.

Tina Jones of Wildwood, who won the 2013 tournament at the Cape Girardeau Country Club, came out on top at the Sedalia Country Club in less-than-ideal conditions: A cold, foggy mist covered the course as 62 players began play on the final day.

Jones finished with a 79 for a two-day score of 154 and the championship.

“It feels very rewarding to defend my state senior a m a t e u r t i t l e ,” Jones says. “The field was stronger this year. I love to compete in the Senior Am. I was thrilled to win.”

Diane Chancellor of Glencoe made the biggest move on the second day. She Tina Jones started seven shots back, but carded a 75 to finish runner up and two shots back of Jones.

Barbara Berkmeyer, a 10-time state champion from West County, carded a 77 in her final round to finish. Her two-day total of 157 enabled her to finish tied with Pam Simpson of Kansas City for third.

Jones already has her eyes set on next year. “I would love to win the Senior Am in 2015,” she says.

“That would be very special.”

What’s special to Jones is watching her son, Teddy, play. The Eureka High graduate is playing at the University of Central Missouri. This summer, Teddy won the Metropolitan Amateur championship.

One of the most notable objects in the exhibit is Figure called A’a, which is on loan from the British Museum and was created in the Austral Islands during the late-18th to early-19th century, Bridges says. “It’s incredible that we have him here,” she says. “If you could distill atua into one artwork, that’s him.

Visitors can take part in the ritual of binding through an interactive portion of the exhibition, where guests are encouraged to write or draw a memory of an ancestor before binding the paper.

The exhibition was created by Michael Gunn, the senior curator for Pacific Art from the National Gallery of Australia, who was inspired by an object in the Saint Louis Art Museum’s collection while he was working there. It will be on display through Jan. 4.

Limpert is passionate about assisting patients in understanding their individual risk profile and helping them weigh options for preventive strategies. “At the clinic, we’ve found that a lot of women have such relief and much more comfort because someone is listening to their concerns and they are getting more frequent imaging,” she says. “It decreases their anxiety.” And for those who do have breast cancer, the clinic’s services help diagnose it at the earliest stage possible, Limpert adds. “For those women who don’t choose prophylactic measures, our services allow us to keep a close eye on their breast health.”

Patients also can receive advanced services for breast health at the newly renovated St. Luke’s Women’s Center at St. Luke’s Hospital.

Before joining St. Luke’s, Limpert earned her medical degree from Saint Louis University and served as chief resident of general surgery at Saint Louis University Hospital. She previously practiced and served as medical director for breast centers in St. Louis and Omaha,

often offered atua to the missionaries to show they were converted. He was taken to London and became a fundraiser...for future missions.”

The atua is symbolic of fertility, with miniature figures growing off his body and about to leap off, she notes. A’a is hollow, and a panel on his back was reported to conceal 24 additional figures, which have since been lost or destroyed.

While some of the atua are literal representations of historic people, many have symbolism incorporated into their designs, Bridges notes.

The representation of vertebrae is a common symbol for ancestry and lineage. The act of binding and wrapping was another important symbol, she says. “It’s the act of connecting with

Strohmeyer also has been honored as a Teacher of Distinction by the Independent Schools of St. Louis. Through the years at Visitation, Strohmeyer says he always strives to maintain a harmonious environment where high-quality productions can be created.

And the formula seems to be working: Visitation students have gone on to bigger stages, from starring in local productions at The Muny to becoming professionals onstage and backstage in New York and California. Onstage or backstage, Strohmeyer says, “it’s always about being a family and putting on a good production.” {LadueNews.com} OCTOBER 24, 2014
