EDITOR’S NOTE Earlier this month, as the Muyco family embarked on its annual summer getaway, my mother informed us of her plans to read that certain ubiquitous novel that’s been declared as the fastest-selling paperback of all time. You can imagine our reaction. As my sisters-in-law and I gave each other a knowing look, my husband and brothers collectively said, Eew! Whether or not you’ve read this book (and its two other installments), I’m sure you know that it’s been fodder for many a conversation. At first, I came across friends who were coy to admit about reading the book—but not anymore. At the office, we have a small group of ladies who’ve formed a de facto ‘book club’ to discuss and debate. It was even the topic during a spirited lunch last week, despite the fact that only one woman in our group of five actually read the book. I’m also hearing from friends whose husbands have gone out of their way to purchase the book for them! Just what is it about this book that has generated so much curiosity? I’m not really sure, but I guess there’s only one way to find out…

Paperdolls Fashion Show CHILDREN’S TUMOR FOUNDATION By Diane Anderson
aperdolls Boutique in Kirkwood held its annual fall fashion show to benefit the Children’s Tumor Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to finding effective treatments and cures for neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on the nerves in the body. The highlight of the show was the NF ‘heroes’ (those affected by NF) who walked the runway and showcased this year’s fall fashions. Event cochairs were Carolyn Burghoff and Beth Morris, co-owners of Paperdolls.

ne of my favorite ways to grab new fashion inspiration is by checking out the latest in street style. Whether it be perusing my favorite blog, AtlanticPacific (she photographs what she wears every day!), following The Sartorialist on Instagram, or just scrolling through Pinterest—images of real people showing off their own personal style always broadens my fashion horizons. This may not be Paris or New York, but St. Louis has plenty of super-stylish people. And I thought it would be fun to take a few of those people and mix their own pieces with items I’ve collected and are available in stores now. The result? Our own ‘Chic on the Street,’ something that just might be popping up from time to time in Ladue News.

LN: What color trends are you excited about for fall? MR: It’s all about combining soft hues with bright colors. For fall, Bobbi Brown’s Desert Twilight Collection showcases the emerging color trends with soft nudes and pinks, and bright, unexpected shades of blue and turquoise to complement them. LN: Will those trends work on any complexion? What tips can you give women for making it work for them? MR: The pink and bronzy nudes in the collection work on all skin tones. The best tip I can give women is to use a pop of color to accent either your eyes or lips—but never both. If bright color is not for you, play with textures such as sparkle, gloss or a fun nail color. There is something for everyone.
lasts throughout the day without turning a different color on your skin and stay on with minimal touchups needed. LN: Would you use different types of makeup products in the fall versus the summer—such as a different weight of foundation? MR: Switching your makeup products each season is very important. In warmer climates, you’ll want to opt for long-wearing products such as Bobbi’s Long Wear Cream Shadow and Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner. These products last for 12 hours and can withstand even the most humid temperatures. Also, try a tinted moisturizer, as it offers light coverage and protects skin from harmful UVA/UBA rays. For fall and winter months, you may want to transition to a heavier formula that has more coverage and moisturizes the skin.
LN: What are some tricks for playing up a favorite feature like the eyes or lips? MR: Great makeup starts with great skin, so before playing up your eyes or lips, make sure to begin with a clean canvas. If you choose to accentuate your eyes, make sure to first cover under eye circles with a corrector and concealer, such as Bobbi’s Secret of the Universe. A heavy shadow or liner will only enhance any darkness you may already have under the eye. If you opt to apply a bolder lip, make sure your eye makeup is more subtle, as you never want your lip and eye competing. Less is more.
LN: Should women make any changes to their skincare routine heading into fall? MR: Every woman should evaluate their skin every day. Pay attention to your skin’s surface texture and make sure your skin feels supple and balanced. Oftentimes, women need to switch skin care regimens as the seasons change. Also, skin is reflective of a healthy lifestyle. Bobbi believes that eating right, exercising and drinking plenty of water is the foundation for beautiful skin. Your skin will thank you!
LN: What are some tips for finding a good, high-quality makeup product? And how does the quality of your makeup contribute to the end result? MR: The best way to find a high-quality product is to try it on. You have to be able to feel its texture and finish on the skin. Finding a great product will ensure that your makeup
LN: What mistakes do you often see women make regarding their makeup or skin care? MR: The only mistake you can make is getting caught in a makeup rut. Makeup is supposed to help women feel better about themselves. Adapting your makeup and skincare routine to your lifestyle will allow you to feel like yourself at your prettiest.

EXPANDING BUSINESSES By Diane Alt
A
s the economy continues to reveal signs of recovery, some local entrepreneurs have decided that now is the time to grow and expand their businesses. We’ve spoken to three business owners whose hard work and determination are paying off.
Ruthie Zarren, LITTLE FISHES SWIM SCHOOL After being laid off from Enron in 2001, Ruthie Zarren became a stay-at-home mom to her newborn son. As he grew, Zarren enrolled him in classes that included art, swimming and other activities. In preparation for her return to the professional world, she paid close attention to the programs her son attended. “I knew I wanted to combine my love of swimming with my love of working with kids. My son was my test subject,” Zarren laughs. “I just kept notes on what I liked and what I wanted to improve on.” In January 2008, Zarren—along with one swim instructor—opened Little Fishes Swim School in Brentwood, and despite the recent downturn in the economy, the small business was flooded with clients. “With families, it seems the kids are the last thing that parents cut back on,” she explains. “Parents might sacrifice something for themselves, but the kids are important. Plus, learning to swim is really a necessity.” Little Fishes was initially open just two days a week and ended its first lesson session with about 45 students, Zarren says. Now, the year-round business is open seven days a week, with 14 employees and 600 kids weekly. This tremendous growth has inspired a move to a new location (also in Brentwood) that will triple the number of Little Fishes swimmers. “It became apparent last year that we had completely maxed out of our current space,” Zarren recalls. “We had to put people on our wait list, and it just killed me that

were not able to help every family.” The new $750,000 facility—now under construction—will have three in-ground pools, as well as full changing facilities and room for parties. Zarren credits local moms for much of the company’s success. “The ‘mom community’ in St. Louis is amazing,” she says. “We get 90 percent of our business through word of mouth, because when moms like something and feel like they’re getting a good value, they tell all of their friends.”
Steve Komorek, TRATTORIA MARCELLA & MIA SORELLA
Siblings Steve, Jamie and Christine Komorek are all products of the Slay family, whose eateries date back to 1911 in St. Louis restaurant history. Their mother, Marcella, was a Slay—and she is the namesake for their longstanding South City establishment, Trattoria Marcella, which opened in June 1995. “We are definitely proud of what we have accomplished—we have been very blessed and fortunate from the beginning,” says Steve Komorek of the restaurant where he serves as head chef.
When the family opened Trattoria Marcella, their hope was to create their own place with a fare that was a little different from what was being served around town, Komorek says. “My brother, Jamie (who runs the front of the house and handles the wine), always says, It’s easy to open restaurants. It’s hard to keep them open.” And keep it open, they did—expanding three years later from 60 seats to 100, and then to its current 150 seats. Through the years, Komorek remembers considering several sites for a second restaurant, but the timing never seemed to be right. And with the challenges related to the economy, the family decided to continue its focus on Trattoria Marcella, adding a patio and completing some interior renovations. Then, about 12 months ago, Komorek says they started to see a solid growth in revenue; and from that point, everything began to fall into place for Ballwin eatery Mia Sorella (Italian for ‘my sister’). “Christine is our boss,” he laughs, “but Mia Sorella is really in reference to being the sister restaurant of Trattoria Marcella.” Scheduled to open in September, Komorek describes a different dining experience at Mia Sorella. “We are not trying to recreate Trattoria Marcella,” he says. “But we are creating a new option for dining, which will have a little more casual atmosphere and a larger emphasis on house-made pastas and hand-stretched artisan pizzas made in a traditional brick oven with a crust that we have spent about a year researching.”
DEVOTING STRENGTH AND SKILL TO THE PRACTICE OF FAMILY LAW
Jane Lavey, GIDDYUP JANE In 2008, a friend of Jane Lavey opened MACS Designs in Ladue, and during that summer, Lavey was presented with an opportunity that she couldn’t pass up. “I was offered a corner of her store to test out my idea for GiddyUp Jane,” she recalls. “I was very lucky to have a chance to build an audience before I even had my own store.” GiddyUp Jane opened in April 2009 in a 500-square-feet space, which Lavey refers to as a ‘pocket store,’ along Clayton Road.

LEGAL CORNER: SUMMER PARTIES AND HOMEOWNER LIABILITY By Lisa Watson
abor Day is just around the corner, which means one last round of pool parties and grillouts. While we would like to think these gettogethers are all fun and games, sometimes people get injured. And when that happens, can the host be held responsible? The question is more complicated than it sounds. “The problem is, these are very fact-specific situations,” says attorney Marc Wallis of Newman Bronson & Wallis. The general rule in Missouri is that there is no social host liability. That means, if you’re having a party and a guest who drinks alcohol, then drives home and causes an accident, the host of the party generally is not held responsible, Wallis says. However, if the party includes minors, any host who knowingly fails to stop a person younger than 21 from drinking can be charged with a misdemeanor, which carries a fine, he adds. And it’s still an open question as to whether the homeowner
L
would be liable for damages caused by a minor who drank alcohol in their home, Wallis notes, since there have been no cases on that matter since the statute was passed. Residents of Chesterfield, Valley Park, Wildwood and Clarkson Valley also should know about local ordinances that are stricter regarding the host’s liability, Wallis says. Chesterfield’s recently passed ordinance (based primarily on one that has been in effect in Valley Park since 2009) says that a homeowner can be held liable for any ‘loud or unruly gathering’ of five or more people, which means they can be charged a fine plus the response costs by emergency personnel. Wallis says the local ordinances are a response to alcohol laws that have been fairly lax in Missouri for many years. “Municipalities say, That’s not enough, we want to further curtail
underage drinking,” he says. Injuries caused in and around a home or pool have similar gray areas, says attorney Jason Charpentier of Growe Eisen Karlen. Regarding invited guests, “Basically, you are responsible for the condition of your property,” he says. “If there’s a dangerous condition that is known or should be known and someone is injured, you are liable.” But every circumstance is different, he notes. “If you’re having a pool party for a dozen kids and one kid slips in some water, is that a dangerous condition? Probably not.” If, on the other hand, your pool has areas that are less than 5 feet deep and you don’t have a sign, then a child dives in and hits his head because the water is too shallow, you could be held accountable, he says. While hiring a lifeguard service that is insured and certified wouldn’t necessarily eliminate all liability, Charpentier says, “It takes the onus of keeping an eye on everything off your shoulders.” Stephané Rebeck-McCormick of Backyard Lifeguards started her business because she’d seen a CONTINUED ON PAGE 51

How to Parent with a Hostile Ex-spouse It’s always a nice idea to think that you and your ex-wife will go through a divorce and one day be able to work together to co-parent your children. And while for many this may be true, the truth is that in some situations your exspouse will continue to be hostile well after a divorce and make it difficult for you to deal with their antics and raise your children together.
tations and boundaries. For example, if talking on a phone always leads to an argument, the best thing to do is only have communication over e-mail and text messaging. This way, negative comments can be deleted and there is time to think of how to respond instead of just saying the first thing that comes to mind after a particularly nasty comment.
In these types of situations, it is quite common for an angry ex-spouse to even go as far as to convince themselves that you are not a good parent. And while this could be very far from the truth, in many situations the hostile ex-spouse is also trying to portray this image on others -- like doctors and school staff -- and sadly, in some cases, even the children.
However, while with parallel parenting communication is limited between parents, it is up to the non-hostile parent to be proactive and reach out to school staff and doctors. This will give the parent the chance to explain the true situation and demonstrate that he or she is a competent and caring parent. At this point, it’s also even a good idea to provide these people with a copy of a child custody agreement to let them get a real understanding of how custody, visitation and decision making actually works.
When this happens, and it is just not possible to reason or have a conversation without it turning into an argument, one suggestion is instead of coparenting to try what is called parallel parenting. With parallel parenting, both parents still play active roles in their children’s lives, but communication between both parents is limited with very clear expec-

In the end, in situations where a divorce leads to hostile parents, it’s best to try parallel parenting in order to provide mental sanity not only to both parents, but to also keep the child out of the middle of the situation.

This can be done a variety of ways, using topical bleaching agents, sunscreen and light chemical peeling. Acne scars can then be treated using fillers, subcision and fractionated lasers. The choice of laser would depend on skin type and pigmentation.
Lisa, age 42 Which ingredients in skincare products should I avoid? I would avoid parabens (preservatives that are widely used and have been found in low levels in breast cancer), xenoestrogens (foreign estrogens that have estrogenic effects on living organisms) or carcinogens (such as sodium lauryl sulfate that is often found in cleansers and toothpaste)

Q: A:
Tammie, age 48 After facelift, what will they give me for pain?
Q: A:
Karen, age 44 If a child has had 3 injuries to her nose and has some breathing and appearance problems, is having a rhinoplasty recommended?
Most physicians will prescribe one of the common oral pain medications such as Vicodin. In truth, very few patients end up taking much of the medication because facelift surgery is not very painful. I do over 100 facelifts each year and I would estimate that only 1 or 2 percent of those patients take all of their prescribed pain medication.
In considering rhinoplasty on a child, one must weigh the potential benefits of surgery (improved breathing, sleep, and sinus health) against the concern that surgery might impair future nasal growth. If nasal blockage is severe, a limited operation may be needed to improve the quality of sleep, which effects cognition, growth and school performance. Otherwise surgery is delayed until maturity

Maintaining A Healthy Outlook
EATING DISORDERS By Connie Mitchell
ating disorders used to be a concern reserved for parents of teenage girls, but that’s no longer the case. As more and more children—both boys and girls—develop eating disorders at younger ages, parents must add this to their pantheon of potential problems. “Body dissatisfaction and obsession with food is (becoming) more commonplace in childhood,” says Theresa Chesnut, a primary eating disorder therapist at Castlewood Treatment Centers. “Recent studies indicate 80 percent of fourth grade girls have been on a diet. There is a growing trend of children growing up in households in which they are the third generation of eating-disordered individuals. It is not uncommon for adolescents and adults who first experienced struggles with food and binge eating as a child to seek treatment for anorexia or bulimia.” Signs of disordered eating include: marked weight changes or fluctuations, failure to gain weight, excessive exercise, a preoccupation with food and weight, avoidance of family mealtimes, self-critical comments, and withdrawal from friends and social activities.
E
Eating disorders, which may involve self-starvation (anorexia), purging after eating (bulimia) and binge eating, often go hand-in-hand with other psychological problems. Kids who develop eating disorders should be screened for anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. If not identified and treated, these mental illnesses can complicate eating disorder recovery. Genetics may play a role in the likelihood of developing an eating disorder, notes Dr. Kimberli McCallum, CEO, medical director and founder of McCallum Place Eating Disorders Treatment Programs. “Addiction pathways of the brain may be activated and maintained by eating disorder behaviors such as binge eating, vomiting and excessive exercise in a way that is similar to alcohol addiction. Once established, these pathways may increase likelihood of engaging in other addictive behaviors and cross-vulnerability may occur.” Physical effects of eating disorders also may be serious and long-lasting. Gastrointestinal, cardiovascu-
lar and metabolic conditions may develop as a result of malnutrition. Dehydration is a common direct effect, and cognitive changes, sleep problems and hormonal fluctuations also may occur. “Treatment must address the eating disorder symptoms, as well as psychological, biological, interpersonal and cultural forces that contribute to the eating disorder,” McCallum says. “Malnutrition must be addressed directly because it can cause brain and behavioral changes that interfere with treatment. Nutrition counseling can be very helpful and typically focuses on restoring flexibility and structure to meal time.” She adds that many patients respond well to outpatient psychotherapy in individual, family and group settings. “Early intervention is the key to complete recovery,” Chesnut says. “In some cases, when behaviors are out of control and unable to be managed at an outpatient level or a person is in medical danger and their life is being affected by the illness (in other words, missing school or work, unable to concentrate, etc.) a higher level of care may be necessary, which could be a residential setting or an inpatient hospital setting.” No matter how treatment is delivered, it is imperative to work with professionals who have experience in treating with a comprehensive team approach, Chestnut adds. McCallum sums up: “Letting go of an eating disorder is hard work, but with the right treatment team and family involvement, recovery is attainable.”

IMMUNIZATION By Connie Mitchell
n 1998, the respected British Medical Journal published a study by Dr. Andrew Wakefield that caused an uproar. The article presented evidence of a link between the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and autism in children. In fear, some parents chose to withhold the vaccine from their children and cases of measles increased as a result. The subsequent debate about the safety of childhood immunizations roiled for years as the scientific community demanded that Wakefield replicate his results—a demand that Wakefield never met—while launching independent studies of vaccine safety. In 2011, BMJ retracted the original study, a rare and extreme action on the part of a scientific journal. A few months later, the Institute of Medicine, part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, published a review of more than 1,000 studies of vaccine safety and found no evidence that MMR or any other childhood immunizations cause autism. You may think that should be the end of that. You would be wrong. “Parents remain concerned about the impact of immunizations on a child’s development,” says Dr. Julia Young, a pediatrician with Docs 4 Kidz. Dr. Sandra McKay, a pediatrician on staff at Mercy Children’s Hospital, confirmed that parents also continue to question her about a possible connection between autism and vaccines. “I tell them the evidence, and that is the most compelling argument—data does not lie,” McKay says. Young echoes the point: “It’s important to understand that vaccines are safer today than ever, as most of the preservatives and thimerosal have been removed. Vaccines can be trusted to protect children and not harm them.” She also emphasizes the importance of immunity through vaccines as opposed to allowing a child to develop

natural immunity by contracting a disease like measles, mumps or whooping cough. “Immunizations are imperative to prevent serious morbidity and mortality from many infections. Over time, many diseases have been successfully eradicated due to herd immunity,” she says. “As people begin refusing vaccines, diseases that were rarely seen due to immunizations, will begin to resurface.” The risks of serious side effects from vaccines are far outweighed by the dangers a child faces if he or she becomes ill with a disease that could be prevented through immunization. “We know that infants receive passive immunity from their mothers and that by 2 months of life, that immunity wanes and leaves them vulnerable, so that is why the schedule starts at 2 months of age to protect children,” McKay adds. “It is proven that children who have an alternative vaccination schedule are at increased risk (22 times increased risk of measles and six times increased risk of pertussis). I ask my patients’ parents if that is a risk they’re willing to take with their child and inform them that I do not take that risk with my own children—I would never ask them to do something for their child that I would not do for my child.”

FOUR-DOOR CROSSOVER HATCHBACKS By Robert Paster
nce in a while, a whole new automotive category is created, and often, in an interesting and innovative way. The best recent example of this is the BMW X6, which pioneered a new class of vehicles. The X6 looks like a BMW X5 SUV. It has the higher center of gravity, weight and poor gas mileage of an SUV without all the utility of a tall BMW X6 cargo area. That said, it is a macho-looking vehicle: I’ve always liked the look of a sloping rear hatchback design, which also makes loading and unloading cargo very easy, compared to a vehicle with a trunk. However, the electrically operated hatchback does impinge on rear-seat head room and reduces the height of cargo that can be carried under the hatch. I’m usually willing to sacrifice a little utility for style. The best analysis of the X6 I’ve found is that it’s the answer to a question nobody asked. The interior boasts dual automatic climate control, heated and cooled well-bolstered leather seats, a sunroof, and plenty of (heated) rear-seat room with separate air vents and temperature control. A large, easily accessible cargo area below the hatch can be expanded to gigantic proportions by folding down the rear seats. BMW’s infamous I-Drive system controls a variety of functions through a remote knobcontrolled screen in the center of the dash. Though it’s better than its predecessors, I still find it unnecessarily complicated—many of its functions could be better performed with hard buttons and knobs. Even a touch-screen would be an improvement. I did like the digital speedometer projected onto the windshield, however—a nice feature for a vehicle that can so easily exceed posted speed limits. The backup camera also was a welcome feature on such a tall vehicle. The X6 boasts a 4.4 liter V-8 engine with two turbos that transmits power to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. Gas mileage is 14 city, 20 highway. An available M sport package stiffens the suspension, gives it bigger wheels and a thick, leather-wrapped M steering wheel with paddle shifters. The steering and suspension are both nice and tight, and it handles as much like a BMW as a sport utility can. The M suspension would probably be too stiff for most
O
drivers, but I liked it. Power from the V-8 is plentiful, and can move this 5,200-plus-pound vehicle around pretty quickly. The X6 is not built for off-road use, but rather, it’s designed to help keep you on the road in any kind of weather or road conditions. According to Plaza BMW’s Jason Catlin, “The X6 appeals to a niche—often a single guy—who wants a sports SUV that performs like a BMW.” The X6 starts at about $71,500; and the one I drove, which had all the bells and whistles, rang up at more than $85,000. Another recent entry into this new automotive category is the Honda Crosstour, which is an Accord-based vehicle with a hatchback, slightly higher ride height and available all-wheel drive. Inside, leather-clad front seats are well-bolstered and heated. Dual, automatic climate control is through a simple series of buttons on either side of the radio controls in the middle of the dash. The available navigation system is displayed on a large screen atop the dash, which also has a back-up camera. There’s a surprisingly large amount of room in the back seat, especially leg room, and secondrow occupants even get their own air vents. Cargo room beneath the rear hatch is quite large and grows to enormous with the rear seats folded. The wide opening hatch makes loading and unloading a breeze. Rearward visibility is slightly hindered by a horizontal body piece that separates the sloping part of the rear window from the vertical part. Otherwise, visibility is good. Power with the V-6 is plentiful, and the brakes are equally up to the task. Handling, ride comfort and road feel are good, with slightly over-boosted power steering at low speeds that tightens up as speed increases. Because ground clearance is only slightly greater than an Accord’s, the Crosstour drives and handles like a car, not an SUV. Mileage is 18 city, 26 highway with the V-6. It’s 21 and 29, respectively with the 192-horsepower, 4-cylinder model. The V-6 is a 3.5liter—good for 271 horsepower that can go to the front wheels or all four wheels through a 5-speed automatic. Dave Bluestein of St. Louis recently purchased a Crosstour and loves it. “It gets great mileage and has tons of cargo space in back, especially with the rear seats folded. It has a lot of pep and rides and handles nicely.” The base Crosstour starts at about $28,500 for the four-cylinder, and $31,000 for the six-cylinder model. To get all-wheel drive, you have to get leather, and the price starts at about $35,000.

TANGENTIAL THINKER
Unreliable, secondhand gossip from around the world...* By Debbie Baldwin
The ’80s child star of the hit television show Blossom made headlines last week when she was involved in a car accident. The actress sustained severe injuries to her left thumb, and doctors were even concerned at one point that they may have to amputate. Fortunately, that was not the case. So I think I speak for everyone when I say: slow news day.
Hollywood. Fans still love his comeback performance in the indie romantic comedy (500) Days of Summer and were hoping for a real-life romance with co-star Zooey Deschanel. Levitt, however, says no way because he and Zooey are so close, he would never risk the friendship with a romance. Well, I have to say, that kind of maturity in Hollywood is frankly disappointing.
Kim Kardashian
Shia LaBeouf
The divorce drama continues for the reality star as her romance with Kanye West heats up. Soon-to-be ex-husband Kris Humphries continues with his assault, even disguising a subpoena in a Nordstrom’s box. Wow, things have really gotten ugly. Kind of makes you wonder if the 72-day marriage was worth it.
The foot-in-mouth actor has stepped in it again. Last week, he commented about being scolded by Steven Spielberg when he criticized the fourth India Jones film. LaBeouf was quoted saying that Spielberg told him that there is a time to have an opinion and a time to sell cars. And while Shia found the lack of artistic integrity disappointing, he now realizes the accuracy of the comment, as he is now a car salesman. *so don’t quote me.

Action Pack MOVIE REVIEW—THE EXPENDABLES 2 By Debbie Baldwin
was chided mercilessly for giving the first Expendables installment a 7. Granted, when I saw it, I was on vacation and may or may not have had a drink with an umbrella in it. When I rewatched it, I realized that I may have been generous—I mean, between Schwarzenegger and Stallone, it’s a wonder you can even understand what they’re saying. This time, however, I’m sticking to my guns, literally. This is an action movie, a good action movie—nothing more, nothing less. If you’re looking for Oscar nods, go somewhere else. If you want to see some stuff blow up, this is your film. The plot is fairly basic: explosion, explosion, gun fight, hand-to-hand combat, plane crash, revenge killing, joke, car chase, Terminator reference, explosion, gun fight, teaser for Expendables 3. It’s gripping, but it also stars some of the greatest action stars of all time— albeit some a bit long in the tooth—doing what they do best. The producers wisely brought in a young gun in the form of Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth. I guess they needed someone who could do the scenes where there’s running. This isn’t art, but it’s a fun, entertaining popcorn-muncher. And yes, it’s a 7.

Kid Sprouts Up MOVIE REVIEW— THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN By Debbie Baldwin
don’t know. Maybe I’m getting sappy in my old age. Reviews of this film dangle words like ‘overly sentimental’ and ‘thinly scripted.’ To me, the words that come to mind are sweet and magical. I was reminded of the wildly underrated film, Big Fish. This is just an endearing story about a couple desperately wanting a child and miraculously getting their wish. Cindy (Jennifer Garner) and Jim (Joel Edgerton) are infertile. The doctors have explained in no uncertain terms that they cannot conceive a biological child. So one night, on a whim, they write down every quality they would want in a child—if they could have one: smart, honest to a fault, OK, yes, they flirt with schmaltzy. They then bury the list in a box in the garden. Imagine their surprise when a small boy sprouts. This is just a sweet story about parenting and family—the good and the bad. Edgerton and Garner are both incredibly likeable actors, and Garner has an obvious flair for motherhood. Her chemistry with young Timothy (CJ Adams) is endearing. This movie won’t astound you, but I can use a word to describe it that I don’t get to use very often: wholesome.

STORY: Mufasa, head lion of his pride, rules the jungle as ‘king of the beasts.’ He is loved by his wife, Sarabi, but despised by his brother, Scar. The latter resents that Mufasa’s young son, Simba, is heir to the throne. Scar plots various ways to murder Mufasa, finally succeeding when Mufasa rescues Simba from a stampede of wildebeests, but dies as a result, and Scar quickly ascends to the throne with a menacing group of hyenas as his henchmen. HIGHLIGHTS: Based on the hit Disney film of the same
name, the Tony Award-winning The Lion King is a magnificent spectacle that is the rarest of beasts: a show that appeals to both children and adults. OTHER INFO: The current production at The Fox marks the third visit of The Lion King here. The show retains all of its magic and wonder, even if the book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi can be formulaic and predictable. After all, the beauty of The Lion King really lies in the breathtaking artistry of the masks and puppets, creations that took the staggering total of more than 17,000 hours to assemble for the original Broadway production. Garth Fagan’s choreography is effervescent, inspired by the infectious mingling of African rhythms and South African music with American pop styles. The show’s enchanting music is an intricate collaboration fusing the primary compositions of Elton John with the lyrics of Tim Rice, and blends several songs from the 1994 movie with a number of tunes written specifically for the musical. Stellar singing accentuates the production as well, led by the glorious pipes of Buyi Zama as the wise baboon, Rafiki, who leads the introductory Circle of Life number. Young Simba, alternately portrayed by Zavion Hill and Adante Power, has a grand time with the rambunctious I Just Can’t Wait to Be King, while Rashada Dawan, Keith Bennett and Robbie Swift get into their antics as the trio of lazy hyenas on Chow Down. Brent Harris is appropriately menacing as Scar, and Dionne Randolph is properly regal as Mufasa, with Tryfena Wade as his loving wife, Sarabi. The Lion King takes a serviceable story and elevates it to superior art with the fastidious, meticulous direction and dedication by Julie Taymor and her immensely talented colleagues, a visual and auditory feast for RATING: A 5 ON A SCALE OF 1-TO-5.

THE GOOD PIE By Sidney Lewis
e it built on thick or thin crust, or topped with provel or mozzarella, St. Louis always has taken its pizza seriously. In recent years, the art of the pie has become elevated around town, with several high-quality pizzerias emerging on the culinary scene. One of these is The Good Pie in Midtown, which has earned a reputation as a must-visit establishment for pizza aficionados, and—as we recently discovered—for very good reason. The restaurant featured Neapolitan pizza—a deliciously minimalist creation featuring tomatoes and mozzarella and an extremely selective use of other toppings—and little else. The Good Pie’s menu had a small selection of starters (Primi) and salads (Insalate) and about a dozen pizzas (Pizze). There also was a nice selection of beers and wines, all posted on chalkboards around the restaurant. Wines were offered by the glass and bottle, as usual, but half-bottle carafes also were available—a nice option for lessthirsty diners. We decided to quaff a couple of Scrimshaw Pilsners ($4), a crisp, refreshing brew from North Coast Brewing Company. To start, we ordered the Roasted Olives ($5), a heaping variety of steaming hot olives swimming in fragrant oil, then split the Chopped Salad ($8). On the menu, this salad was described as ‘a taste of The
B
Hill,’ but it beat any salad we’ve had in that venerable neighborhood in recent memory. The crisp greens were augmented by a plethora of peppers, olives, chick peas and chunks of salami and topped with a spicy dressing. For the pizza course, the Salami ($12) pie caught our attention. This 12-inch creation had the required tomato and mozzarella paired with huge slices of genoa salami, each curled just so and with slightly crispy edges from the heat of the oven, plus a few basil leaves. The crust was light and perfectly baked, with just a bit of char around the perimeter. It was plenty big enough to share, but could definitely have served as a hearty meal for a single healthy appetite. The only possible pizza adds offered were buffalo mozzarella ($4), farm fresh egg ($2) and a side of marinara ($2). Those who want to pile their toppings high should definitely look elsewhere. To finish, we ordered the salty caramel Gelato ($4), a simply delicious, creamy confection made in-house. The interior of The Good Pie was as inviting as the food. It was a simple shotgun space, with exposed brick and ductwork, and a high ceiling that belied its industrial history. There was plenty of visual appeal, thanks to the selection of vintage bicycles on display and the exposed pizza oven, and the service was as warm and hospitable as the space. The Good Pie had all the attributes of a real neighborhood joint: perfect for grabbing a bite and a beer after work, or having a casual dinner before heading out for an evening at Grand Center.

A WELL-STOCKED CELLAR By Laura Graesser

f you decide to throw an impromptu dinner party—or you need a last-minute hostess gift—could your wine cellar come to the rescue? We asked these local wine experts for recommendations of bottles (and varietals) to keep in stock for such an occasion.
Steve McIntyre, BALABAN’S WINE CELLAR
■ Always have sparkling wine on hand. It goes well with all types of food, from seafood to spicy dishes. You can find quality sparkling wines without having to buy real expensive French Champagne. Mirabelle from Schramsberg and a French Vouvray from Bernard Fouquet are great options. ■ Pinot noir is very versatile, with strawberry and raspberry flavors that pair well with food. ■ If you have guests over and you’re drinking white wine as a cocktail, chardonnay is an excellent choice. I like California chardonnays—like those from Ramey Wine Cellars—because they tend to be fruitier with a little oak, and make for a good stand-alone wine. ■ White Burgundy is a nice option to serve with food.
■ If you need a hostess gift and don’t know what they like, go with something medium-bodied, whether it’s red or white. Often, Spanish or Italian wines are a good in-between. It’s a French chardonnay with good structure and nice mineral characteristic that helps create a good balance with food. Macon and Chablis are areas in Burgundy, France, that produce great wines. ■ If it’s a summer get-together, rosé is a nice wine that tends to get overlooked because people associate it with white zinfadel or something that is very sweet. Tavel from Southern France is a great French rosé. ■ Oregon-produced pinot gris is a good alternative to offer your guests. It’s a similar grape varietal to pinot grigio, but it has more spicy notes and depth of flavor. It works well as both a food wine and cocktail wine. Elk Cove and Christom both make nice pinot gris. Rachael Buehrer, THE VINO GALLERY
■ Stock your cellar with some ‘everyday drinkers’ that you can grab for a last-minute dinner party. Choose light white wines or un-oaked reds that aren’t
■ Sparkling wine always is a good option for a celebratory occasion like a housewarming party or wedding. ■ There are many obscure varietals available if you want to offer your guests a chance to try something different. The Italian arneis varietal is a more interesting, aromatic version of a pinot grigio, or people may not have tried malbec and tannat from South America. Nerello mascalese grapes are grown on a volcano in Sicily and produce a nice, light red wine that smells and tastes a little smoky, pairing well with meat. ■ Choose medium-bodied wines for cocktails. If it’s too acidic, you almost need food to balance the harshness, but wines that are softer can stand alone. An un-oaked chardonnay, as opposed to an oaky one, or a light Spanish red wine, as opposed to a big Napa cabernet, will work better if you are just having drinks or appetizers.

TASTING TIP: How can you tell if a wine has been aged with French or American oak? French oak gives aromas and flavors of vanilla. American oak gives aromas and flavors of dill pickle and/or sawdust. Taste the difference: One certainly sounds more appealing than the other, although both yield great-tasting wines.
WINE RECOMMENDATION: Try the different whites from Oregon to see the beautiful balance of fruit and acidity. The pinots from here continue to evolve in the glass, where you pick up something different in each taste. You also have to try the big Washington reds like cabernet franc and merlot.

with wineries, plantings and new wine appellations. Since it lies on the east side of the Cascades, Washington State can get very arid. Thus, irrigation plays an important role in developing the grapes. Being farther north, they enjoy two more hours of sunlight than California, which allows for greater ripening. Washington State is known for combing New World fruit with Old World style. The wines develop full richness and big concentration. They also can be earthy wines, great for those big reds like cabernet sauvignon, syrah and yes, merlot. In fact, Washington State produces some of the biggest and better Merlots in the U.S. Much like Bordeaux, Washington also is revered for its blends. The reds often exhibit a lush texture with very concentrated berry flavors reminiscent of the wild fruit found in the Pacific Northwest (blackberries, dark cherries, boysenberries and cherries). Don’t forget the whites. Washington grows everything Oregon does and more, and they like to experiment. Look for big, fruit-forward chardonnays with obvious apple notes, and dry or off-dry rieslings. It is my opinion that the climate, growth, development, attention to terroir and progressive wine-making techniques eventually will lead Oregon and Washington wines to be more sought-after than those of Napa and Sonoma. Only time will tell.

errily, merrily, Ellen Port just keeps rolling along. At 51, she continues to defy Father Time. Port won a record eighth Missouri Women’s Amateur Championship in a two-hole playoff with defending champion Catherine Dolan at Shadow Glen Golf Club in Olathe, Kan. Regulation play was back and forth in the final round between Dolan, a Parkway West and Missouri State grad, and Port, who teaches at John Burroughs. Both players traded birdies on the 18th hole to continue in a sudden-death playoff. Port says she has no plans Ellen Port of slowing down. “Absolutely not! I’m just beginning to play the best I’ve ever played in my life, with the help of my teacher, Brian Fogt (of Bellerive Country Club). I feel like I can play with anyone right now. The future looks very bright, and I’ll keep going as long as the good Lord is willing!”

De Smet’s Jimmy Siegfried and Parkway West’s Emily Goldenstein won the boys and girls age groups in the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association’s 13th Junior Amateur Championship. Siegfried fired rounds of 70-72-142 to capture the title and James M. Holtgrieve Trophy. He would win by three shots over Alex McKay and Sohil Desai. The De Smet junior has competed on the last two Mid-America Junior Cup teams and receives an automatic invitation to the 2012 team with his victory. The left-handed playing Siegfried said he was pleased with both of his rounds. “I have won tournaments before like this and the St. Louis District, but being in the older age group with much harder competition, this means a lot to me.” On the girls’ side, Round 1 leader Emily Goldenstein, 16, would keep her lead en route to the title with rounds of 73 and 75. Her name will go on the Barbara A. Berkmeyer Trophy. Goldenstein, a junior at Parkway West, has been competing all over the Midwest this summer. She also will receive an automatic invite to participate in the 2012 Junior Cup Matches. Rachael Pearson was the runner-up. Goldenstein sums up her game this way: “I played well in this tournament.

METROPOLITAN OPEN
Mitchell Gregson was playing with two-time champion and U.S. Open competitor Scott Langley in the final group of the seventh annual Metropolitan Open and did not wilt. Gregson made birdie on three of his first six holes in the final round playing with Langley, a Parkway South and Illinois graduate. Gregson’s two-shot lead went to six strokes and the championship of the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association premier tournament was all but his. Over 54 holes on the 7,120-yard par 70 Lewis and Clark layout at Country Club of St. Albans, Gregson made 16 birdies to three bogeys and the rest pars. Within the 54 holes he had a span of 37 holes between bogeys. Gregson earned a $7,500 paycheck for the victory. Gregson, a graduate of Kansas State, won the tournament by a whopping nine strokes. Brandon Holtz, a professional from Bloomington, Ill., was the runner up at 4-under. ST. LOUIS DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP
The amazing match-play performance of Jeff Johnson ended in triumph at the St. Louis District Golf Association’s 93rd Griesedieck Men’s Championship. The last seed in the 16-player competition, Johnson defeated seventh-seeded Alex Cusumano 1-up in the championship match to win the prestigious title at Old Hickory Country Club in St. Charles County. USGA PUBLIC LINKS
Whitfield graduate Mitchell Rutledge competed in the United States Golf Association’s Amateur Public Links at Soldier Hollow Golf Course in Midway, Utah. Rutledge, the two-time Class 2 state champion who will be going to Michigan State, shot a 144 in stroke play to earn a spot in match play. However, he lost his first-round match to Steven Fox, of Hendersonville, Tenn., who defeated Rutledge, 2 and 1.

BALLPARK VILLAGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24
“People have seen plenty of change based on the Inbev purchase, so for them to recommit to downtown is not only good for us and the project, but for all of St. Louis.” In addition, supporters hope that the brewery’s involvement will send a message to other prospective investors and businesses that this time, the project is finally getting off the ground. DeWitt’s belief is that once the infrastructure is in place, more privately funded developments will follow. “Once utilities and street work and traffic signals are done, then future phases are much more likely to occur,” he says. Make no mistake, this project is DeWitt’s baby: He is focusing on every detail, making sure, as best he can, that nothing is left to chance. He’s even well aware that some fans are concerned that the construction of a ‘village’ on the now-vacant site might block the spectacular view of downtown, especially the dome of the Old Courthouse. “It wasn’t until that last piece of old Busch Stadium was demolished that we realized, Oh my gosh, we’ve got a great view of the courthouse!’ he recalls. “It’s funny that it was accidental and it’s become a neat feature of the stadium. So we’ve gone to great lengths to insure that the view will be largely preserved.” Dewitt says the day Ballpark Village opens will be a ‘top five’ day in his life. Until that moment, he’s prepared to keep answering the questions of seasoned skeptics and 12-year-olds alike. And of course, the response he’ll be expecting to his answers is, Show me.

demand while working for Clayton’s Parks and Recreation Department. “It’s not necessary to hire a lifeguard every time someone jumps in your pool,” she says. “The problem is when you promise safety and don’t deliver it.” A lifeguard who works at a local municipality is trained to use certain equipment, and usually works with a big support network. Without that system, the lifeguard might not be able to fulfill their duties effectively, McCormick says. “Our company has operating insurance and recruits experienced lifeguards. They have all the necessary equipment, and put an emergency action plan into place when they get there, and engage the host in that plan.” McCormick recommends that homeowners hosting a party without a lifeguard create their own action plan. “We have what we call the ‘on-guard card,’ ” she says. You can create your own laminated card with tips for the adult designated to watch the pool. Whoever has the card is watching the water, McCormick says. “If you go answer the phone and you still have the card, you’re not doing your job. It’s a reminder to the homeowner or their guests. You can have four to six adults sitting outside talking, but the person holding the card has to be watching the water.” Charpentier also suggests that homeowners take a common-sense approach to preparing their home before a party. For example, if there’s a loose handrail on the stairs that your family knows not to use, don’t assume guests will know, he says. “Take a walk around your house inside and out, especially areas where people are going to be. Make sure everything is safe.”

focus: fashion inspired by the West. “The shop is different from most everything else in St. Louis,” she says. “I just love the style of the West. My family has always had homes out there, I went to school in Arizona and I love the casual look. The West is a beautiful and inspiring place, and people dressed beautifully because of that.” In the beginning, space was among Lavey’s biggest challenges. Along with the limited square footage, she points out that “there was a bathroom, which also was the storeroom and my office— I’m not kidding,” Lavey laughs. “I knew it was ridiculous, and so when the space opened up next to us, we saw the opportunity to take it over.” According to Lavey, the increase in space to 1,600 square feet in July 2011 was necessary, because not only was her boutique on the smaller size, but it

also was sandwiched in-between several other successful stores, leaving GiddyUp Jane, for the most part, unnoticed. “Now that we are larger, we have a much bigger presence on Clayton Road,” she says. “We have a very dedicated following who ‘gets’ us—they love our look and love to live in the style.” Along with greater options for her female clients, GiddyUp Jane now offers menswear, home goods and gifts, as well. An attorney by training, Lavey seized an opportunity for a career change and launched her business in the midst of the slower economy. “I opened at the worst of times,” she recalls. “So, my benchmark was very low. There was nowhere to go but up, which was a really good thing. The reality was, I was ready—and I couldn’t wait until the world was ready for me. Luckily, the gamble paid off.”
