CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE
SOCIETY WHILE SPRING USUALLY SIGNIFIES NEW BEGINNINGS, THERE IS SOMEthing about the coming of fall that makes us feel just as energized. It could be in the autumn breeze or the kaleidoscopic display of trees—or even just the mere wardrobe switch from sundresses to sweaters and scarves. In St. Louis, autumn also signals the advent of another season of the arts. This week, the Fox Theatre—looking oh-so-fabulous, thanks to a summer-long ceiling and lobby renovation—reopened with a bang. The season-opener Chicago delivered the complete package: Fosse, John O’Hurley and All That Jazz. And earlier this month, The Rep kicked off its season with the stunning Cabaret—talk about eye candy, this one had it all, including a mesmerizing performance by Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts alum Nathan Lee Graham as the Emcee. (Mark Bretz’s review is on p. 72.) The season also begins anew for The Sheldon, the Symphony, the Peabody and Dance St. Louis, among others; plus there are new offerings at the Art Museum, the Contemporary and the World Chess Hall of Fame, etc. So, sit back and take it all in. Happy fall!
STAY FOR A WHILE: MISSOURI WINERIES The kids have returned to school and the weather has started to turn cooler. But that doesn’t mean you have to be stuck at home. What better time of year for a drive through the Missouri countryside? There are plenty of options for an overnight getaway or a relaxing long weekend in Missouri wine country.
DICK MANLIN He’s bicycled and hitchhiked throughout Europe and Africa. He has sculpted metal works of art, as well as hand-carved furniture. He’s also a gourmet cook, painter and avid fisherman. But this is not what drives Dick Manlin. It is his love of photography that he thrives on today.

Look for the company to produce three plays in two alternating shows next year: Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2 and Henry V. Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2 opens the season on May 17. Originally written as two separate plays in the late 1590s, it will be edited to fit into one evening. Henry V (written in approximately 1599) Rick Dildine opens May 24. The 2014 season will feature a slightly expanded performance run (May 17 through June 15) in which the shows will performed on alternate evenings at Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park. According to artistic and executive director RICK DILDINE, St. Louisans can expect a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience. “Many theaters around the world have performed these plays in consecutive seasons; however, we are performing them at the same time with the same cast on the same set.”
STAGES ST. LOUIS has announced the lineup for its 2014 season, beginning May 30 with They’re Playing Our Song, a musical with a book by NEIL SIMON, and inspired by the real life love story of composer MARVIN HAMLISCH and lyricist CAROLE BAYER SAGE. The season continues with How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, and concludes with Fiddler on the Roof.

ou can’t take it with you. That’s why as Sam Simon, co-creator of TV’s The Simpsons, faces a terminal cancer diagnosis, he reportedly is giving away his tens of millions to charity. Like Simon, many St. Louisans are planning to leave a legacy through their charitable impact long after they’re gone. But how can you ensure your name will live on through the things you really care about? Local financial advisers say the answer lies in philanthropic planning, whether you aim to begin sharing your wealth now or after your death. St. Louis has a rich history of philanthropy, from some of the nation’s largest United Way and American Red Cross annual campaigns to generous support of education and the arts, such as the Saint Louis Zoo and Forest Park Forever, explains Maurice Quiroga, executive VP and managing director at PNC Wealth Management. And many St. Louisans are ready to continue that tradition of charitable giving. But before donating to any nonprofit, Quiroga first recommends becoming educated about the organization. Then, you can decide how much you would like to contribute, how often you will make a donation and whether you will give now or after your death. Most important, he says, donors should find ways to evaluate the impact of their gift, and ensure future generations will be carrying on their legacy of giving. A vital component to establishing a charitable legacy is fostering a tradition of giving within your family. “It’s important for families to articulate their philanthropic goals to their children,” Quiroga notes. Whether your passion is education, the arts or animals, there are multiple ways to give back. “You can do it through outright gifts, use a trust, or name a charity a beneficiary of your will,” he says. To make a long-lasting impact, advisers say private foundations, community foundations and donor-advised funds can be vehicles to carry on your legacy. One of those vehicles, the Greater Saint Louis Community

Foundation, has been helping St. Louisans make their dollars count at local nonprofits since 1915, says president and CEO Amelia Bond. Today, the foundation has 450 charitable funds that total $250 million in assets. Those funds generate more than 2,000 grants per year, gifting about $30 million to area nonprofits. The foundation’s staff can help individuals start their own fund to benefit a chosen charity or multiple charities throughout St. Louis. “Donors can be as specific or as open as they want,” Bond notes. And if donors are interested in making their mark last, they can opt for legacy giving. Siblings Edward and Rosemary Young did just that with a fund they created in the ‘90s. Every year since Edward Young’s passing in 2003, multiple community organizations, such as the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Mercantile Library, have received funds. The dollars have grown from about $400 in annual gifts to $30,000—and in another 10 years, that gift will double to $60,000, Bond says. “Those organizations will receive money from the Young fund forever.” When establishing a charitable foundation or donor-advised fund, David Ott, partner at Acropolis Investment Management, notes the importance of working in concert with a financial adviser, an estate planning attorney and a trust company. For charitable foundations, families typically begin with an average of a halfmillion dollars for setup, Quiroga says. Maintenance costs also will be required, he adds. Beyond the personal satisfaction charitable giving can bring, local advisers also note the financial benefits. Nonprofit donations can lead to significant tax deductions, such as the case of the Walton family—the owners of Walmart—who have reportedly avoided billions in estate taxes by donating to charitable trusts, Ott says. Charitable giving is more than just writing a check, Quiroga emphasizes. “It’s about being involved in the community and teaching kids the importance of giving back.” When it comes to a legacy in your name, gifts that enrich society will live on long after you’re gone, he continues. “Charity starts at home. Once you make sure your family is taken care of, it’s important to give back.” And there has never been a better time than now, he adds. “Give appreciative stock and income to avoid taxes and let charities receive those proceeds to begin to weave a legacy for your family, your kids and a nonprofit.”

Retirement Savings Trends
Are You On-Track? Y
ou’ve been working hard to achieve your financial goals, dreaming of the days when you will be able to enjoy retirement. But are you doing enough now to ensure you can maintain your accustomed lifestyle into the future? Here, local financial advisers share the most important factors when it comes to setting aside money today for a brighter tomorrow.
Guy Hockerman VP and senior financial planner, The Commerce Trust Company • GET IN THE GAME. The retirement lifestyle of a high-income individual is often not supportable with retirement plan savings alone. While it’s important to fund company-sponsored retirement plans to the extent allowed, saving money after-tax is almost always a necessary part of a retirement plan for those with high pre-retirement income. For instance, say you retire at age 60 and you’ve managed to save and grow your 401(k) to $3 million. This asset alone will provide only about $100,000
of inflation adjusted after-tax spending over a joint life expectancy. We help our clients develop a game plan for after-tax savings that meets their longterm objectives. • MAKE IT COUNT. Recent tax law changes have raised the stakes on tax-efficient investing for high earners saving for retirement. Along with a 39.6-percent top tax rate, those in the highest tax bracket are now subject to long-term capital gains rates and qualified dividend rates of 20 percent, along with a newly instituted Medicare tax on unearned income of 3.8 percent. This means consideration should be given to not only how much you are saving, but also how tax-efficient those vehicles are in cutting down the year-to-year tax bite.
Julie Sward Principal, Moneta Group • PAY IT FORWARD. No matter your income level, you should pay yourself first. Make sure to add to your retirement, IRA and/or Roth IRA accounts each year, keeping within the allowable
By Brittany Nay
contribution limits. Making saving a priority now means more options when retirement comes. • DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Understand the current tax laws and how they work for (or against) you. You must pay an additional 0.9 percent Medicare tax if you earn more than $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. You also must pay a 3.8 percent tax on your net investment income if your adjusted gross income is more than $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. Your personal exemptions may be phased out and your itemized deductions may be limited if your income exceeds certain limits. By maximizing your pre-tax contributions to your retirement accounts, you reduce the amount of income subject to tax and counted toward the various thresholds, and defer investment income tax going forward. • HIRE A HELPING HAND. With our everchanging world, both in terms of investments and taxes, it’s never been more important to seek advice and guidance from a qualified adviser who can help you plan for your financial future. Retirement planning, albeit very important, is just one part of

a sound, comprehensive financial plan. Working with someone whose expertise encompasses all areas, including investments, tax planning, estate planning and risk management, ensures your goals can be met.
David Presson Director of investments, First Bank Wealth Management • MAKE IT LAST. People generally are living longer, healthier lives. On average, men live to the age of 84; and women, 87. So you need to plan to have your money last longer throughout the life of your retirement. You should be working with a financial planner who can run various projections for you to ensure you have enough money to last your lifetime and to maintain your lifestyle of choice. • START SAVING EARLY. It’s important to get started early and save a certain amount each year. Let the money compound for you over time. While the rate of return you get on your investments and the allocation of your investments between stocks and bonds will have some impact on the amount of money you have in retirement, the biggest factor will be how much you save and how early you started saving. • DIVERSIFY YOUR INVESTMENTS. As you plan for your retirement, it’s important to diversify your investments, as well as your investment accounts. You should have a 401(k) plan, an IRA or another qualified plan, where your money can compound tax-deferred until you begin to take it out during retirement, but it’s also important to have a regular investment account. Remember any
money you take out of a qualified retirement plan will be taxed at whatever your ordinary tax rate will be in the future. We don’t know what those tax rates will be, but they could eat up a big chunk of how much is available each year. That’s why it’s important to have a taxable account, where any money you withdraw will not carry taxable implications.
safety and into vehicles that can produce steady, predictable income for life. • AVOID PITFALLS. When you are so close to retirement, a market loss can have such a huge impact that you may not be able to retire and the time to recover may not be there.

Ken Poteet
Co-founder, Heise Group • EDUCATE YOURSELF. Have a keen understanding of how established monetary and fiscal policies affect one’s ability to maximize earnings and total return within varied risk limits.
• PRESERVE YOUR ASSETS. The closer you get to retirement, say within three to five years, you need to begin to transition more of your assets into

Is a Home Still a
Good Investment?
By Brittany Nay
Five years later, the real estate market is bouncing back. After overcoming the high foreclosure rates of the 2008 recession and its unstable aftermath, area experts and residents again are showing signs of confidence in the housing market. According to the National Association of Realtors, St. Louis’ median home price is $165,900—up more than 6 percent from last year, mimicking the spike seen across the nation in recent months. And homebuyer website Trulia reports that 58 percent of homeowners are predicting home prices will take 10 years or less to get back to their pre-crash peak; and about 80 percent of current renters say they plan to purchase a house someday. Financial analysts note other factors buoying the real estate market are more first-time homebuyers; rising rents as more young people enter the market; and increasing construction costs as fewer new homes are being built—resulting in higher home prices. But even with all this good news, is a house still the great investment it once was? Local financial advisers and mortgage bankers echo a positive
outlook. “Homes can still be a good investment as historically, they appreciate over time; and mortgage interest and real estate taxes are deductible,” explains Mark Cooper of USA Mortgage. “Also, interest rates play a key role in this; and though we are no longer at historic lows, rates are still very good.” For those looking to invest in property, Cooper notes that good credit, a stable income, and at least a 20-percent down-payment are crucial.

IT’S ALL RELATIVE
Brew Hub The Suds of Success BY PAUL BROWN
PHOTO BY SARAH CROWDER
T
IM SCHOEN IS THE CEO OF A COMPANY called Brew Hub, which he expects to play a significant role in the huge expansion of the craft beer industry in the United States. In the next seven years, his plans are to have a brewing business that will employ as many as 500 people in five cities spread across the country, including St. Louis. His wife, Diane, is the GM of the company; and both were execs at the ‘old’ Anheuser-Busch: She was in sales and marketing, he was a VP and global head of the brewer’s vast sports and entertainment marketing division. With that kind of pedigree, Diane has every reason to be optimistic that this family venture, led by Tim, is destined for success. “He’s always had such an entrepreneurial spirit—that’s just him. He’s a great leader and has such great vision and this is what he’s meant to do.” The start-up is a $15- to $20-million project with venture capitalists The Yucaipa Companies as the primary investment partner. Despite the high stakes, the Schoens hope to maintain a more folksy-company quality, similar to most small brewers. I sit with the couple at their Chesterfield home, where the guest house next to the swimming pool is Tim’s office, the current world headquarters for Brew Hub. It allows him to spend a lot more time with the kids than he did when he worked on Pestalozzi Street. Another big plus of that ‘folksy’ aspect? He gets to do the laundry. “I have a laundry room right here and in the main house—trust me, I’m a laundry guy!” While they laugh about Tim’s laundry prowess, it can tell you a lot about a person—things like work ethic, and the desire to do even a small job the right way. It’s the same type of attitude you might expect to find in a craft brewery. Schoen wants to work
with brewers who have great products but limited ability to grow substantially without help. Tim says that’s where Brew Hub comes in. “We have a lot of people who are passionate, and have a lot of expertise and sophistication in the beer industry,” he explains. “So we bring those components, including economies of scale, knowledge, relationships, procurement—all these elements that craft brewers might have some of, but don’t have them all.” Also on Schoen’s team are Brew Hub president Jerry Mullane, also a former A-B VP; and Paul Farnsworth, head brew master and a renowned innovator who’s helped develop more than 100 breweries in 10 countries. Schoen says in the 1990s just 1 percent of all beer sold in the U.S. came from craft brewers. Right now, the number is up to 7 percent. The anticipation is that by the year 2020, that number will rise
“IT’S CREATIVE, IT’S INNOVATIVE AND YOU CAN SEE THE EXCITEMENT.” TIM SCHOEN, Brew Hub CEO
to as high as 15 percent of total U.S. beer sales. Brew Hub’s first 50,000-square-foot brewery is almost complete in Lakeland, Fla., with a target date of May 2014 for the first amber suds to start flowing. A St. Louis brewing operation could be up-and-running within the next two years. Schoen is already importing a few brands like Medalla Light and Pistonhead for redistribution in the southern United States; but the big picture is to brew several craft and foreign brands at Brew
Hub facilities, then market and distribute them to as much as 70 percent of the country—eventually, Tim says. “Right now, you have certain craft beers that are popular in regions, but logistically, they can’t get from one place to another. We’re going to solve that problem, and do it economically.” There also are plans to export American brands through Brew Hub to Europe, Australia, China and Central and South America. Meanwhile, Diane is doing everything in the office that needs to be done: payroll, human resources and marketing, just to name a few. She says they are both working very long hours, while actively raising two young sons. “It’s communication—in any marriage, that’s the key. But in ours especially, because were juggling work and kids and a house and dogs and it’s just life, but it works really well for us.” Diane tells me she doesn’t want it to sound like a cliché, but she thinks it’s a perfect example of the American Dream, while Tim sees it as an opportunity to create a company that leaves a legacy in the business. “You can’t imagine building something that can potentially have 500 employees in five different cities impacting countless families and communities. It’s staggering to think about, but we’re on that road,” he says. “It’s creative, it’s innovative and you can see the excitement.” Schoen believes big brewers really can’t seize the opportunities in the emerging craft markets the way Brew Hub can, and it’s not just because their CEOs probably don’t do their own laundry. But Diane admits, “He’s phenomenal at laundry, he’s almost obsessive.” Well, it’s time to get back at it for the Schoens: Another million-dollar deal needs some work; and then there’s that load of whites.

Talking Points
The Elevator Speech:
Floor by Floor By Fred Miller
THE ELEVATOR SPEECH: WHAT IT IS AND WHY HAVE ONE An elevator speech is a personal mini-infomercial that tells people who you are and what you do. Elevator speeches are not meant for selling your products and services. The goal is simple: People hearing it should know exactly what you do. Clarity is not optional. When they know what you do, they can make a decision to have conversation with you about your offering—or not. If they have a clear understanding of your expertise, they can refer others to you.
Education in a New Key A Classic Liberal Arts Education Lindenwood University is advancing the idea of what a university can be: loyal to debate and dialogue, cherishing diversity of thought, and devoted to our students. Lindenwood enjoys ever-increasing prominence. Following nearly two decades of rapid growth, an expansion of innovative academic programs and premium accreditations, Lindenwood thrives as one of the Midwest’s larger independent universities. Lindenwood has struck a new chord … orchestrating education in a new key.

DEVELOPING AN ELEVATOR SPEECH TEMPLATE There are two distinct audiences for an elevator speech: 1. Group 2. Individuals There also are different goals: Group Whenever we attend one of those functions where we have the ‘opportunity’ to present our elevator speech, the goal is: • Everyone hearing it should have a very clear understanding about our offering. • They should not be trying to decipher what they just heard. They should get it immediately when we deliver it. If they are confused by what we said—it’s over! The ideal result of the group elevator speech is that people approach us during a break or after the event, ask a few questions, and agree to set a time and date for a conversation. Individual/Face-to-Face These elevator speeches are given in planned and unplanned settings. They happen continually when we meet new people. • Planned or unplanned, one goal is to disqualify the person you’re having a conversation with. If the person you’re speaking to has no interest in what you do, find out sooner rather than later. If that’s the case, move on to another person and start disqualifying. • The second goal and ideal result is that the individual stops us from talking and says, “Wait. It sounds like you offer something I might need. Let’s connect in the next few days and set a time to meet and continue this conversation.” WHAT’S IN A NAME? 1. Elevator Personally, I’ve never given an elevator speech in an elevator, and don’t know anyone who has. That said, the notion of getting your speech out quickly, makes sense. The length should be between 15 and 60 seconds. The other thing about an elevator is that it goes up, one floor at a time. It became obvious that an elevator speech should be crafted, floor-by-floor! Furthermore: • Each floor should convey specific information. • Start simple. As interest grows and time permits, move to the ‘next floor’ and give more specific information. • For the group setting, we want to take everyone in the room to the top floor, and give them all the information we’ve crafted for our ultimate elevator speech. • Where there are time constraints, some floors can be skipped. • For the individual/face-to-face setting, we start on the ground floor, and want to take them up, one floor at a time, only if interest is shown after we speak.

2. Speech An elevator speech is a mini-presentation. It is a speaking opportunity and an important one! Since it is a mini-presentation, it should have many of the same components, parts and elements of the kind of presentation delivered before an audience in a seminar. Let’s look at them: Content: Your message, the information on each ‘floor’ of the elevator speech template. Delivery, or presenting that message to a group or individual: The delivery of the elevator speech, like the delivery of a good presentation, should be conversational. As in any presentation, delivery trumps content. Thus, how you deliver your speech is more important than what you say; and what you say—in an extremely short time—is very important! KEEP YOUR ELEVATOR SPEECH TEMPLATE FLEXIBLE 1. Audience The size of the audience can vary from one-on-one to small and larger groups. 2. Who is delivering the elevator speech? People deliver elevator speeches for themselves (employed or unemployed); their workplace (for-profit or nonprofit) 3. Time Depending upon the venue, the elevator speech could be as short as 15 seconds to as long as one-and-a-half minutes. 4. Not just for elevators! Be prepared to use it on: • Escalators • Moving sidewalks • Stairs • Sidewalks Future columns will pick up on the elevator speech topic, covering: • How I developed an elevator speech template that works well for me—and will work for you. • How to deliver one. • Bonus tips to take your elevator speech from Blah to Ah! ‘Til then, make next your presentation…NO SWEAT!

When It’s Time to Find a New Lawyer
Y
A Legal Bind
ou wouldn’t work with a m e c h a n i c wh o co u l d n ’t change your break pads, just like you wouldn’t take guitar lessons from someone who can’t play. But it may be less obvious whether a lawyer is effectively doing his or her job. In the world of legal professionals, how do you know when it is time to hire a new attorney? Local attorneys we asked say communication is a large indicator. “From a client’s perspective, it’s when all effective communication has been cut off or become increasingly difficult,” says Eric Abramson of Natural Bridge Legal Group. “Anything else would come secondary to that. The whole point of hiring an attorney is to take some weight off your shoulders—when you’re

not able to contact your attorney in any way, it damages the relationship and effectiveness.” Similarly, Thomas SanFilippo of Thomas J. SanFilippo & Associates explains that if attorneys “don’t return phone calls, keep clients in the dark, or don’t try to explain to them in the simplest terms exactly what’s going on with their case,” they are sending a warning sign to their clients. “If you ever feel like you don’t understand the repercussions if everything [in your case] goes south, that’s a huge red flag.” However, SanFilippo explains that it is important not to get caught up on one red flag, but to look at the entire picture. While it’s assumed lawyers should be, to say the least, lawful, Sam Hais of Hais, Hais, Goldberger & Lambson notes a less subtle, but incredibly important, warning sign clients should look out for: He says there is a fine line between assertive lawyering and dirty tricks, and explains that some professionals ask their clients to participate in said trickery. For example, he notes a lawyer requesting a client secretly—and illegally—record a conversation. “If your lawyer is telling you to do those kind of things, run for the hills!”
By Julia Christensen
Speaking specifically of civil cases, SanFilippo says clients should be concerned if attorneys are hesitant to give you a timeline. “If they bill you and don’t describe what they’re billing, or if they’re unwilling to talk about what’s on your bill.” When finding a new attorney, Hais warns that clients who have had a previous lawyer, or lawyers, may have trouble. “There are some lawyers who are very reluctant or will refuse to be the third or fourth person in line,” he says. “If you’re in that situation and you’ve just had bad luck with lawyers, be able to explain why you’ve had multiple lawyers. Some lawyers feel it’s a warning sign of a problem client.” Warning signs •Little or no communication from your attorney •Being given a guarantee •Feeling like you don’t understand what is happening or the possible repercussions •Being asked to participate in questionable or illegal activity •Receiving a bill without being able to have it explained to you
The Social Scene
Mind Your Manners
By Richard Gavatin
T
heir intent may be to display witty Twitter hashtags, impressive food arrangements and pictures of cute kids, but the effect is to drive you nuts! A new survey has mapped out which online behaviors irritate us most. Although Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are sources of much entertainment and information, the coin has a flipside: For many, they also are a source for intense annoyance. The number one complaint about Facebook is the constant updating about nothing, like This morning, I had a sandwich for breakfast. So, who cares? Other things that annoy many include bragging, complaining, spelling errors and the constant look-at-my-cute-kids picture posts. On Instagram, the most maddening practice is the ubiquitous pictures of every day food; and you probably know at least one person who would probably throw their cell phone at the wall if they have to see one more picture of ‘my dinner last night.’ Although some may be inspired by someone else’s food selections, others are just peeved.
...the most maddening practice is the ubiquitous pictures of every day food; and you probably know at least one person who WOULD PROBABLY THROW THEIR CELL PHONE at the wall if they have to see one more picture of ‘my dinner last night.’ Although some may be inspired by someone else’s food selections, others are just peeved.
What about Twitters hashtags? The # symbol, used to mark keywords or topics in a tweet, was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages. Ever since Twitter broke onto the scene about four years ago, the pound signs have spread all over the online world, in spite of not filling any other function than marking some supposedly clever double-meaning or laconic understatement from the sender. So what to do to lower the level of irritation? Although Emily Post has been gone for more than half a century, her name is synonymous with etiquette. To say that today’s world is radically different from the one she inhabited is obviously a gross understatement. However, many people honor her principles and it has been suggested that the spirit of Emily Post should be alive in e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and many other online media. So what characterized a good Emily Postcompatible person in the past and how is that applicable in today’s world? The Emily Post Conversationalist is thoughtful, listens, doesn’t interrupt (or if forced to interrupt, apologizes), gives personal space and exhibits an unambiguous body language. The Emily Post Letter Writer announces who he/she is and makes sure that the letter includes both good and bad news, and responds to questions asked in a previous letter. The good Letter Writer also avoids the woe-is-me letters, along with the tell-all, gossip and anger-filled letters. These are good rules for electronic writing, as well. Dos and Don’ts for Emails: - Respond promptly. Always check spelling. - Remember, grammar and punctuation matter! - Write as if everyone will eventually read your email. - Subject line should be topic-appropriate. - Avoid large attachments. - Avoid dry humor and sarcasm. Because it’s email and conversation, neither dry humor nor sarcasm (most of the time) simply don’t work. Save your clever puns for when you meet in
person. - Avoid emoticons—unless you are 10, and then it’s OK. - Avoid using ALL CAPS (even for emphasis), this is known as on-line screaming. Dos and Don’ts for Smart Phones: - Use vibrate mode for all public situations. - Turn off in lots of situations. - Love the one you’re with — isn’t he or she more important than the person calling? - If you must take the call, step out — we aren’t interested in your call. - Use full words and sentences. You probably have seen (and have been annoyed) by something like this: U could c msg l8r LOL! Dos and Don’ts for Social Media: - Properly introduce yourself. - No spamming! - Avoid being an egomaniac—it’s all public! - Online should mimic real relationships. - Don’t use abbreviations, if possible. Who isn’t tired of seeing LOL, OMG, IMO and the rest? If you want to learn more about Emily Post, I suggest you read Emily Post: Daughter of the Gilded Age, Mistress of American Manners by Laura Claridge.

The Doctor Is In
How to Treat a Fever
By Dr. Joseph Kahn
F
ranklin Roosevelt once said, The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. After 30 years of practice, I can tell you that, in addition to fear itself, parents fear fever! What is fever, when is it a concern, when and how should it be treated, and why should we care about it? Fever is an absolutely normal body response to many conditions. The most common cause of fever in children is infection, and the most common cause of infection in children is viral illnesses. Rarely, other non-infectious inflammatory illnesses will cause fever, as can overheating in an extremely hot environment. Occasionally, some childhood immunizations can cause fever, and your child’s physician will discuss this with you when immunizations are given. Although there’s no scientific evidence that teething causes fever, many parents often associate fever with teething. Temperature greater than 101.4 should never be attributed to teething. An alternate source of the fever must always be sought.
Your child’s temperature can be measured orally (if your child is older than 4 or 5 and can cooperate), rectally (the most accurate but least pleasant method), or axillary (under the armpit). Ear and forehead (temporal artery) thermometers are available, but I don’t recommend ear thermometers as they’re sometimes inaccurate and inconsistent. It’s never accurate to measure a child’s temperature by merely feeling his skin. Fever itself rarely needs to be treated. Instead, to gauge if your child needs treatment for her fever based on the amount of discomfort it causes. The degree of temperature isn’t usually the best indicator of this. Some children tolerate temperatures of 103 without difficulty, and others are miserable when their temp hits 100. Fevers also need to be treated if your child has an underlying illness or a history of seizures. Contact your doctor about your child’s fever if he or she: • Is less than 3 months old and has a rectal temp
of more than 100.4. • Is fussy and appears ill. • Is between 3 and 36 months old and has a temp of 102 or greater. • Has a temp of greater than 104 rectally or 103 axillary. • Has a febrile seizure. • Has had recurrent fevers for five to seven days • Has a chronic illness such as heart disease, cancer, sickle cell, etc. • Has a fever associated with a new skin rash. If you’ve decided to treat your child’s fever, use appropriate doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) as recommended by the manufacturer and your doctor. Increase fluids, keep your child well-hydrated, allow him to rest and keep calm. Sponging isn’t particularly effective and never sponge your child with alcohol. Always call your child’s physician with questions, but remember that fever is a normal response to infection and is a symptom, not an illness.

Overuse Injuries in Kids
Know Their
Limits
By Connie Mitchell
Grown-ups might hurt a bit after strenuous physical activity. That’s not unheard of—in fact, it happens as we age. “But kids shouldn’t hurt all the time,” says Dr. Heidi Prather, an orthopedic surgeon with Washington University Physicians. “Sports are good,” Prather says. “Participating in sports can set up healthy habits that carry over to adulthood, but we do see some kids who are really pushed to excel in a particular sport from an early age.” When one joint or movement is repeated over and over, such as pitching a softball, even kids’ supple bodies can begin to break down. “All sports can carry a risk of overuse injury. Young bodies are not any more protected from overuse injuries than adults’,” says Dr. Mark Halstead, a sports medicine physician with St. Louis Children’s Hospital. “We certainly see plenty of overuse injuries
in young athletes from either participation in multiple sports at once, or from playing in a single sport year-round without time for rest and recovery.” Although children can be victims of overuse injuries, the nature of these injuries is somewhat different than the typical adult sports injury. “In adults, we tend to see most overuse problems related to tendons. In younger kids, especially those who are still growing, we commonly see overuse issues related to growth areas in the bone called the apophysis,” Halstead says. “These areas are where the tendons attach to the growing bone. The constant tension of the tendon tugging on these growing areas can stress the area and cause pain.” Stress fractures are another overuse injury that can occur at any age, usually due to repeated impact to the bone without adequate recovery time
between workouts. But whether impacting bones or overusing muscles and tendons, Prather notes that cross-training can help prevent injury. “A lot of overuse injuries are because kids aren’t cross-training much, and it’s easier to develop an overuse injury because of training in the same way all the time,” Prather says. “For example, a gymnast who doesn’t cross-train can get compression-type injuries from the landings and jumps; and she’ll be more at risk for stress fractures, especially in the ankle, hand, wrist and back. On the other hand, a baseball pitcher who’s constantly throwing may have an overuse of the soft tissue around the elbow or shoulder.” Prather emphasizes the importance of “loading Continued on page 81

Our lunch room has its own herb garden, and we have our own vegetable garden and greenhouse. That, in addition to our new solar ray on top of our field house and all of the new energy-efficient buildings, this school is very cognizant of being stewards of the Earth.
Mission Statement: John Burroughs School seeks to instill the joy of living through active learning, integrity and service to others. Our mission is to foster in our students academic, physical and creative fulfillment, together with strength of character, while helping them become productive members of our school community.

What sets John Burroughs apart from other schools? We like to talk a lot at Burroughs about striking a balance. We have as strong of an academic program as exists in the country. We also have a great arts program, athletic program and student activities. All students will be involved in arts and athletics for the entire time they are at John Burroughs. In the area of student activities, the average class contributes 10,000 hours of community service hours each year, and we have about 50 different student organizations that kids are involved with. We also have a faculty that is as strong as any faculty in America.

What are Your Plans for Halloween? Compiled by Lisa Watson

Photo by Sarah Crowder
or kids, the evening of dress up, candy, and ghosts and goblins is a major cause for excitement. We asked the fourth-graders in Gregg Thompson’s class at Glenridge Elementary School in Clayton about their plans:
• I am going to be Ariel, like I was last Halloween. I am hoping to get at least one full bucket, and I hope I get a Kit-Kat because it is one of my favorite types of candy. -Sahithya • I’m going to be a minion from Despicable Me. I’m really looking forward to spending time with my friends. I’m also looking forward to going sugarhigh from so much candy. -Sofia • My plans for Halloween are to go out with my friends and go around a few blocks and go back home, sort the candy and eat the candy. I will go on Wellington and Oxford to trick-or-treat, but I might go farther than that. -Larry • For Halloween, I want to be a demon, so me and my friend will be related. She is a devil and I’m a demon. I am hoping to get bucket-fulls of candy and play with my puppy afterwards. -Willa • I’m going to be a cheerleader with my best friend. If I had to estimate how much candy I will get, it is most likely going to be 100 to 200 pieces. I just hope it is not cold. -Olivia • My plans for Halloween are a family party where my whole family dresses up and we all hang out together every year. We do it at my aunt’s house or at another family member’s place. -Sunaina • For Halloween, I’m going to be a LaLaLoopsy. -Chanel • My plans for Halloween are going around the neighborhood. I’m going to wear a skeleton with a scary mask. I hope to get a lot of Hershey bars – my favorite! -Jai • I want to be a person that is holding his head in his arm. I am thinking of coming to Clayton
to trick-or-treat and I will go to see my favorite teacher, Mrs. Engel. -DeCarlos • My plan for Halloween is about 150 pieces of candy and a creepy costume like Boba Fett. I want people to pretty much creep out when they see me. My plan is an awesome Halloween with friends, although I think I’m too old for candy. -Eugene • For Halloween, I am either going to be a biker or a UNSC Halo Spartan or a Marine. I usually go out with my friends while my sisters go out with their friends. -John • I am going to call my friends over then we will start trick-or-treating. After eating one or two pieces of candy, we will eat cookies and milk then say goodbye and go to bed. -Nevin • On Halloween, I am going to have fun with friends and family. I am looking forward to the candy and costumes. I will trick-or-treat around my school district. -Camille • My plans for Halloween are to collect about 150 to 170 pieces of candy because I have never collected that amount. I also plan to be a demon because last year I was a demon. If not, I’m going to be a mythical creature from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. -Miguel • For Halloween, I want to be a vampire, but then I also want to be a cheerleader. I’m trick-ortreating with my best friend and we want to be the same thing. Maybe we can be vampire cheerleaders. -Gabriella • My plans for Halloween are to be something very scary, but I don’t know what it will be yet. I want to visit a house that has really big candy bars.
Twix Bars are my favorite candy bar. -Jonah • I might be someone from Temple Run. I’m planning to have at least a hundred pieces of candy. I’m planning to end at midnight. -Thomas • Our family doesn’t celebrate Halloween so instead we pick out any movie we want to watch. I’m looking forward to the movies so much I race to the computer because I’m afraid my brother will reach it first. I don’t race my sister because she has her own computer. -Joshua • I’m planning on going to Chesterfield for Halloween. I’m probably going to go with my friends from school. My favorite candy is probably Crunch. Last year, I got three handfuls of candy from one place! -Madison • My plans for Halloween are to wear a zombie costume. I will go to all the houses in my neighborhood and will bring a big bag to put all my candy in. -Zach • I plan to be Ace Ventura from the mental hospital scene in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. I expect to get a lot of candy. I hope to receive a lot of hard Jolly Ranchers. -Tom • I am going to be a soccer player for Halloween because I love soccer. I’m going to trick-or-treat with my friend. We haven’t thought of which road to go on, but I’m thinking her street, maybe. -Anette • My plans for Halloween are to dress as a hobo with a cardboard box that says, “donations here.” I hope to get a lot of Nerds candy while trick-ortreating with my best friend. But what I really hope to find is a bat! -Emma

Paul Alan I.O. Metro What is your dream project? A retreat center where a diversity of people could come together and connect—something that is artful, inviting and inspiring to those who would get the opportunity to visit such a place. How do you know when a room is complete? Some spaces continually evolve and change with pieces coming and going to create personality in a space. Other spaces just feel right once they are layered, and then maybe slightly edited. The space, the purpose of the space, and who is utilizing it typically determine how much layering brings it to completion.

Is a room ever complete? I feel a design is complete when I am able to sit quietly in the space and not feel the need to adjust, edit, move or fluff! I like to leave an empty area for my client to fill with personal elements. Life is always evolving, and so should a home.

Stay for a While BY LISA WATSON
T
HE KIDS HAVE RETURNED TO SCHOOL AND THE WEATHER has started to turn cooler. But that doesn’t mean you have to be stuck at home. What better time of year for a drive through the Missouri countryside? There are plenty of options for an overnight getaway or a relaxing long weekend in Missouri wine country. We scoped out a couple: Ste. Genevieve An hour and 15 minutes south of St. Louis is the historic town of Ste. Genevieve, and secluded in its outskirts is Chaumette Winery and Vineyards. The establishment was purchased in 1990 by Hank and Jackie Johnson, who originally planned to build a cabin there and retire—but things evolved from there, says marketing director Jennifer Johnson. “They started growing grapes and making wine, and built a tasting room. Then people wanted to eat, so they built a restaurant. They later added the villas because people wanted a place to stay,” Johnson says. The boutique, which produces only about 3,000 cases of wine each year, has 14 villas, most of which are privately owned and rented out by Chaumette, Johnson notes. Guests also are welcome to enjoy a full menu of spa services, which include facials, varied types of massages and even makeup consultations for bridal parties. The culinary program, helmed by executive chef Adam Lambay, is an experience all its own, with more than 90 percent of the ingredients from April through October coming from local farms, Johnson adds. Guests also may want to enjoy the art gallery and gardens. For those who plan to do a little more exploring, Chaumette offers 32 acres of grapes on 310 acres of land, near the Mark Twain National Forest and John J. Audubon Trail. “There’s a great hike that takes you over the ridge to Charleville Vineyard,” Johnson says. “Ste. Gen is a gorgeous space with rolling hills, and Hank and Jackie are known for making people feel like they’re at home. Hermann With almost a dozen wineries all within a short drive—or trolley ride—Hermann is a great place to explore a wide variety of local wine. Guests who plan to stay a few days might consider lodging at The Inn at Hermannhof. Innkeeper Gina Price says the inn frequently plays host to couples on romantic getaways, whether it’s a special anniversary or birthday, even a no-special-reason weekend

away from the hustle of city life. “They don’t want to spend all day driving—they want to get away and enjoy the different atmosphere. It’s relaxed and fun. You can walk around town, and there are a lot of restaurants and cute little shops and antique stores.” Guests at The Inn can choose between the main building and the more secluded cottages. Each of the six cottages, all former working wine houses, is unique, with some featuring fireplaces or period stoves, or options that range from oversized soaking tubs to luxurious showers. Price says guests also are welcome to enjoy the inn’s spa services, which are offered in a spa suite as well as in-room. “There are amazing views of the town, and some of our cottages have a private porch or terrace where you can sit and enjoy the sights of the town and the river,” she adds. “It’s very nice and tranquil.” Should you decide to leave the scenic grounds, the whole town of Hermann awaits, with the Katy Trail, entertainment, live music at wineries and restaurants around town, and museums and historic sites. Be sure to plan your trip early, as rooms fill up fast—especially during Octoberfest!

THE WINE LIFE
The Allure of Northeast Italy BY STANLEY BROWNE, CS, CSW
T
HE LEGENDARY CANALS OF Venice, the tragic love affair of Romeo and Juliet, the jagged peaks of the Dolomites – just a taste of the romance and wonder offered by one of the world’s most inspiring places, Northeast Italy. Rich in history, culture, music and culinary heritage, it is the most visited region of Italy, with more than 63 million tourists every year. But we cannot forget the allure of the wine, which clearly represents the culture and landscape of this fruitful region. Several years ago, my wife and I went to Northeast Italy to discover the allure of the appellations of Veneto, Fruili-Venezia Giulia, and Trentino-Alto Adige. These regions are distinctive by landscape and culture, and present a unique variety of foodfriendly wines. Veneto: Situated around the city of Verona, Veneto is nestled between the Adriatic Sea and Alpine mountains to the north, which tempers the harsher climate in northern Europe. The northern part of this appellation is suited to white grapes, and is home to the well-known soave wine. Soave is mostly garganega (with some triebbiano grapes) and produces a light- to medium-bodied white wine. Other white grapes of note are sauvignon, pinot bianco and chardonnay. At its best, soave is dry, verging on complex, and excellent with foods such as herby pastas and seafood dishes. Veneto is known mostly for Valpolicella, a red wine which pairs well with classic Italian pizza. However, the real star of the region is amarone. Comprised of the same grapes found in Valpolicella (corvina, rondinella, and molinara), amarone uses a distinctively different process in making this special wine. After harvest, grapes are laid out to dry for several weeks—which shrivels the fruit, increasing
sugar content and reducing water content—and then make wine until all the sugar is fermented out. The result is a stunning wine, slightly Port-like, with a dry almond finish. Fruili-Venezia Giulia: To many Americans Fruili-Venezia Giulia is “that region north of Venice.” It borders Austria to the north, Slovenia to the east and the Adriatic Sea to the southeast. Because of its vast range, it has several climates: Alpine continental in the north to mild Mediterranean to the south. White wines excel using chardonnay, sauvignon, pinot grigio, pinot bianco, malvasia, müller thurgau and tocai fruilano grapes. The winery that really positioned the white wines on the global stage was Jermann, available in St. Louis. This diverse wine region also grows red grapes like refosco, schioppettino, pinot nero and cabernet sauvignon. Refosco, which can range from softhearted to full-bodied, is native to Northeast Italy. As with all regions in Italy, cuisine is integral to its wine production. Fresh seafood is abundant in the coast and mushrooms proliferate the hilly forests. Sausages, cured meats and hearty polentas anchor the region firmly in culinary tradition. Trentino – Alto Adige: Situated in the hills below the Alps, called the Dolomites, this region has strong German and Austrian influences. When you enter this region, you feel like you are in another country, with Germanic architecture and locals still speaking German. The views are breathtaking – lush, rolling vineyards and the picturesque Dolomites leading to the Alps in the distant background. Although the daytime temps can get as high as 90 degrees, at night, it cools off because of the mountains, giving the vines critical recovery time and the grapes good acidity. Much like the atmosphere, you will find strong German influences in the cuisine. Speck, a
smoke-cured ham (leaner than prosciutto), crusty bread and local cheeses were among our favorite snacks during this visit. Polenta and tagliatelle are staples but you will likely find sausages, goulash and spätzli, a small handmade German-influenced noodle, often served alongside beef dishes. Chardonnay, sauvignon, gewurztraminer, müller-thurgau, and pinot bianco are the region’s most abundant white grapes. The main red grapes are cabernet sauvignon, merlot, lagrein, teroldego and pinot nero. During our visit, we stayed at one of favorite wineries, Alois Lageder. Nestled into the hillside, this eco-friendly, state-of-the-art winery was created using solar power, wind and gravity-fed processes, to name a few. One cannot leave Trentino without a visit to Ferrari Winery, which makes some of the best sparkling wines in Italy. Classic Méthode Champenoise is used here, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, same as Champagne. They have garnered many global accolades, with many different bottlings and quality levels. And that’s just Northeast Italy. Italy is a diverse land of vineyards and offers more than 1,000 grape varietals. TASTING TIP: Sparkling wine should be served well-chilled at about 45 degrees, and in a glass that allows the aromas to be enjoyed such as a flute or a nice white-wine glass. The smaller the bubbles, the better the quality is a good guideline. Also good vintage/aged sparkling will produce small ‘pearls’ of bubbles to display elegance. WINE RECOMMENDATION: Try a good pinot grigio, a quality soave, and chardonnay for those who say they don’t like chardonnay (these are cleaner and have more acidity). Also try some of the native red grapes like refosco, teroldego, and amarone!

DINING OUT
spicybits BY MATT SORRELL
The Presentation Room Restaurant at L’Ecole Culinaire has some new menus for fall. The restaurant now offers a breakfast buffet, from 7:15 to 8:30 a.m., Monday through Thursday. There also are some new items on the lunch menu, including a flatiron steak and salmon. The popularity of the restaurant’s Friday night Chefs’ Table concept has led to the development of a small plate and larger plate menu for dinner, offered Monday through Friday. This new menu features quail, crispy pork belly, seared scallops and chorizo, among other delicacies. Stone Soup Cottage has debuted its much-anticipated new location at the Wiese Farm on Highway N in Cottleville, Mo. The new digs include 6.5 acres overlooking the farm’s fields and ponds, and much of the produce that ends up on the menu is sourced from those very same fields. The new building is situated on the spot where the original barn once stood, and includes repurposed pieces of that structure. Seating-wise, the new space accommodates about 32, up from the 24 at the first location, but the intimate vibe that made the original Cottage such a remarkable venue is still ever present.

Sweetie Pie’s Upper Crust
Down-Home Goodness BY SIDNEY LEWIS
SWEETIE PIE’S THE UPPER CRUST, THE newest restaurant from local soul food maven and reality TV star Robbie Montgomery, opened in Grand Center last year, providing another venue for ‘Miss Robbie’s’ down-home specialties. The opening of this location was a main focus of the show Welcome To Sweetie Pie’s for quite a while, and fans of the show, as well as St. Louisans who remember what the derelict building looked like before its transformation, will be suitably impressed by the space. It’s good to see a restaurant open in the area west of Grand, which has been overlooked for a long time as the MidTown Alley area to the east has flourished. The interior is brightly lit and overall the ambiance is inviting and comfortable. Plus, there’s considerably more elbow room, as well as banquet space, inside The Upper Crust than at Sweetie Pie’s Grove location. Menu-wise, the food is pretty much the same as that served at the original location. Everything is served up cafeteria-style; and each main is available a la carte or as a meal, which includes two sides. Daily specials also are available. We went the meal route during our visit and got the Meat Loaf with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes, along with an extra side of Chicken and Dumplings ($12), the Fried Chicken Wings with Okra and Tomatoes and Macaroni and Cheese ($10), and a slice of Sweet Potato Pie ($3) for dessert. Each dinner also came with a piece of cornbread. There’s no such thing as a light meal here and portions are more than generous, so diners
need to bring hearty appetites. The meat loaf was topped with a sweet tomato sauce, our favorite way to accentuate this comfort-food favorite, while the wings were juicy and the skin was crispy and well-seasoned with just the right balance of salt and pepper. Side-wise, the potatoes were especially good, whipped to a creamy consistency. The mac and cheese was made casserole-style instead of an amalgam of loose noodles floating in cheese sauce. While we like both preparations, the Sweetie Pie’s version is our favorite, with the cheese baked to a savory crunchy crust around the edges. There were a few glitches in the meal, however. While the green beans were tasty enough, the okra was a bit of a disappointment, as the veggies were stewed until they were so mushy they just fell apart. The chicken and dumplings were good, but we had to have them heated up as they were ice-cold when we dug in. The sweet potato pie also fell short, being fairly bland with none of the sweet earthiness we expected. To be fair, some of these issues probably are the result of the cafeteria format, where cooking large batches (as opposed to cooking to order) is required, and the food has to sit on the serving line for extended periods. All in all, Sweetie Pie’s The Upper Crust is a solid addition to the Grand Center area and a good option for those looking for a place to dine before a show at The Fox, Powell Hall or one of the other surrounding venues. 3643 Delmar Blvd., 371-0304, sweetiepieskitchen.com.

The aging starlet was snapped giving a lessthan-friendly hand gesture to the paparazzi as she power-walked in Los Angeles last week. The former Charlie’s Angels star seemed none to happy that the photogs were out and about while she tried to squeeze in a workout. Although her irritation does seem strange considering the three other times she started out with no photographers in sight, she threw up her hands in frustration and returned to her house.
MADONNA The Queen of Pop revealed in an interview recently that the last dream she had, she was in bed with Brad Pitt. Well, OK. That’s kind of endearing. I mean, we all dream about handsome Brad Pitt. It’s not like the fact that Madonna dreamt about him means she’s got any plans to take it any further. Even Madonna has boundaries. Yeah, Brad, I’d plug any holes in security sooner rather than later.

Now that Katherine Heigl is out of the picture, America is in search of a new prematurely entitled movie star to dislike.

The A-list beauty got word last week that her new film, Maleficent, the Sleeping Beauty tale told from the point of view of Beauty’s nemesis, will be pushing up its release date. The studio decided to push the film’s opening to May 2014 to avoid competing with Transformers 4 and The Fast and the Furious 7. Seriously? Did executives look closely at that decision?

REVIEWS MOVIE REVIEW
THEATER REVIEW BY DEBBIE BALDWIN
In a World… FLAT
BY MARK BRETZ
I
THINK AT ONE TIME OR a n o t h e r, eve ryo n e h a s thought about writing a movie about a quirky career or hobby. Best in Show and Little Miss Sunshine are stellar examples of how delightful a slice-of-life film can be. However, this comedy about the strange world of voice-over acting is an example of an idea that should have stayed at the dinner table. Carol (Lake Bell) is a precocious voice coach. When her father, Sam (Fred Melamed), an industry voice-over legend, kicks her out to live with his new young girlfriend, Carol must find a more lucrative source of income. She lands a voice-over gig, stealing it from the industry’s current ‘it’ voice, Gustav (Ken Marino). She soon finds herself in direct competition with Gustav and Sam for the coveted job of voicing the next billion-dollar movie’s trailer. I know what the filmmakers wanted this film to be: a funny offbeat look at an unseen side of the movie business. Unfortunately, it is a tedious story with unrelatable characters and a script that make you wonder how it ever made it onto the big screen in the first place. It’s just a waste of time.
Prisoners
VIGILANTE JUSTICE RATING: 6 out of 10
P
RISONERS IS A suspense thriller— completely my cup of tea. However, it is a child-abduction suspense thriller, and that’s where I cringe. Nevertheless, this is a gripping, if forced and slightly ham-handed, exploration of the extremes a parent might go to find a missing child. The story is fairly straightforward: Keller (Hugh Jackman) and Grace’s (Maria Bello) daughter, Anna, along with a neighborhood friend, Joy, have gone missing. The young girls were last seen playing near a rundown camper; and the driver, Alex (Paul Jones), is the prime suspect. When Alex’s mental condition—he has the I.Q. of a 10-year-old—and lack of evidence make it impossible to hold him, the detective-in-charge (Jake Gyllenhall) must explore other avenues. Meantime, Keller, who is convinced Alex is the key to finding the girls, takes matters into his own hands. While the film is a fascinating examination of the nature of evil and how noble intentions can become sinister, the film has some unshakable flaws. The plot—while predictable—tries the audience’s patience at times. It also is 30 minutes too long, strained with self-indulgent scenes that dilute the tension. That being said, the acting is Oscar-caliber, led by Hugh Jackman, who brilliantly climbs into the skin of a desperate father. The movie is compelling but clumsy, and would have benefited massively from an edit.

THE STORY There was a cabaret and a Master of Ceremonies, and there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany, and it was the end of the world, and I was dancing with Sally Bowles and we were both fast asleep. So says American writer Cliff Bradshaw, describing his experience in Germany for a brief period beginning in 1929. In search of creative juices, Bradshaw is smitten with the intoxication of the thriving night life in Berlin, personified by the persuasively decadent Kit Kat Klub. There, he meets Sally Bowles, an English troubadour in perennial search of a good time. The sexually ambivalent Cliff soon becomes enchanted with Sally’s bewitching ways; even as his new friend, Ernst Ludwig, has him running mysterious errands that help the struggling Cliff pay his monthly rent. When he sees Ernst’s chilling reaction to the engagement of landlady Fraulein Schneider to Jewish merchant Herr Schultz, though, Bradshaw realizes that Adolf Hitler’s rapidly ascending Nazi Party is bringing swift and deadly change to the country.
HIGHLIGHTS Cabaret has a rich and noble lineage that has made it a shining star in the pantheon of great American musicals of the 20th century. Marcia Milgrom Dodge, who received a 2010 Tony Award nomination for Best Director for the Broadway revival of Ragtime, gets The Rep’s new season off in glorious fashion as director and choreographer of its opening presentation.
RATING: 5 on a scale of 1-to-5. COMPANY: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis VENUE: Browning Mainstage, Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road DATES: Through Oct. 6 TICKETS: $20-$76; 968-4925 or repstl.org
Hunter Ryan Herdlicka fully inhabits the role of Cliff—a deeply moving and affecting portrayal that underpins other performances. Webster Conservatory alumnus Nathan Lee Graham displays the Emcee in all his perversely impersonal nature, serving as our guide to the forbidden pleasures of the Kit Kat Klub. As Sally Bowles, Liz Pearce is slinky and seductive and appropriately addle-brained. Mary Gordon Murray and Michael Marotta make a well-matched pair as the star-crossed lovers, Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz. Dana Winkle has the attitude and appeal of street-walker Fraulein Kost, while Blake Ellis carries well the banality of evil as Ernst Ludwig. Cabaret is a show that never seems to lose its power or its allure. Certainly, The Rep’s presentation brings its timeless relevance to the fore in impeccable style.

Always A Story to Tell

and I stared at each other for about 60 seconds. I was continuously shooting away and changing my camera settings for the rapidly changing light. The photo I printed was the last one I took before the sun disappeared and is now one of my most popular photographs.” Photographing grizzly bears during the spring salmon run in Alaska posed more adventure and a touch of trepidation for Manlin. He and a friend lived with the bears on Brooks Falls Island for almost a week, running into them all day long. Advised when encountering a bear “to stop walking, turn, don’t run and never look the bear in the eye,” he tells of the mean-looking grizzly coming along the game trail toward him and his traveling companion. “I immediately stopped and whispered to my friend that we had a bear coming towards us and that we should back up. After a moment of silence, she replied, We can’t back up because there is another bear right behind us.” The duo left the trail and the two bears casually passed by. “They were so close that I could smell them and feel the heat coming off their bodies. They must not have been hungry, or more interested in dining on the salmon than on us. For that, I am grateful.” Manlin’s photographic escapades also have taken him to Haines, Alaska, home of the largest concentration of bald eagles in the world. The magnificent birds of prey migrate to Haines each November to feed on salmon. “As many as 5,000 eagles may come to a three mile stretch along the Chilkat River Valley each year,” he notes. That is where he photographed Eagles in the Snow, his award-winning image that was published in Alaskan Airways magazine. His photos also have appeared in National Geographic, Outdoor Life and other publications, as well as displayed at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame & Museum of the American Cowboy in Boulder. When not out in the wild, Manlin has worked as a photographer for the Saint Louis Zoo, St. Louis Rams and the Missouri Botanical Garden, among others. He has served as an instructor at both Webster University and University of Missouri-St, Louis, helping students learn how to photoshop. “Photoshop takes it from a photograph to a piece of art,” he says. “In years to come, I feel all photography will be photo-shopped or manipulated to become pieces of art.” He also has begun selling framed, limited editions of his photography to Bed Bath & Beyond.
“a moment of nature is only a moment in your mind. But a photograph of that moment is forever.” Dick Manlin
Manlin makes his home in Des Peres, where he enjoys gourmet cooking, painting, photo-shopping and printing his works of art. The Clayton High graduate attended the University of Missouri and Washington University. However, he adds, “I was rebellious and didn’t take studying seriously. I left college without graduating and then began my travels throughout the world.” Whether wading in a stream in hip boots, watching the cooking channel, repairing a dishwasher or photographing roundups in Colorado, Dick Manlin always has a great story to tell. The raconteur captivates his audience with tales of his journeys; and through his photographs, he keeps those incredible moments alive forever.

e has built 20 subdivisions and 2,000 custom homes in St. Louis, shopping centers in St. Charles and 35 ski condominiums in Breckenridge, Colo. He’s bicycled and hitchhiked throughout Europe and Africa. He has sculpted 10- to 15-foothigh metal works of art, as well as hand-carved 30 pieces of furniture for his first home. He’s also a gourmet cook, painter and avid fisherman. But this is not what drives Dick Manlin. It is his love of photography that he thrives on today. “Outdoor photography is my passion,” says the blue-eyed, white-haired, father of three and grandfather of four. “I enjoy nature’s beauty observed through the lens of my camera.” Rain or shine, you might find Manlin in Grey Summit shooting a photograph of wildflowers; at the Missouri Botanical Garden in mid-morning, catching the opening of the giant Victoria water lilies; or capturing the birth of a monkey at the Saint Louis Zoo. No matter his subject, Manlin puts his heart and soul into each photograph he shoots. He believes the two most important things in photography are patience and knowledge of your camera. “In Africa, you may spend days waiting for something to happen. Because of the heat, many animals sleep all day long,” he explains. “However, the action is very fast when it does happen. You must know the mechanics of your camera like the back of your hand.” Adventurous and a cowboy at heart, it is not uncommon to find Manlin wearing his signature boots and hat while trekking through the woods each spring on his morel mushroom hunts. He believes that “a moment of nature is only a moment in your mind. But a photograph of that moment is forever.” Now in his 70s, Manlin reminisces about his signature photo of a bull elephant taken at a reserve in Kenya. “I had been photographing all day, and the sun was setting. There were only five minutes of light left to photograph, when we came upon a beautiful lone bull elephant. When we stopped our vehicle, he turned to approach us,” he recalls. “Everything was right except the big bull was blocking the sunset, which made him just a black outline. I asked the driver to pull forward. The bull

TEST DRIVE FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE SEDANS
The Perks of Being Practical BY ROBERT PASTER
S
EDANS OFFER A PRACTICAL WAY TO transport your family economically with the availability of several attractive attributes, including luxury, performance and all-weather mobility. Several sedans offer all-wheel-drive, which means that power is distributed to all four wheels to improve handling, as well as traction in wet conditions. Probably the most fun-to-drive all-wheeldrive sedan is the Subaru WRX. Originating as an off-road rally car, the WRX has earned a cult following in America amongst those who value performance above all else, but also need a reliable vehicle with four doors. The WRX’s performance pedigree is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that it only comes with a manual transmission. That’s right: If you’re not a ‘true’ driver who knows how to shift with a clutch, this car is not for you. The big functional hood scoop that feeds the turbocharger’s intercooler and a rear spoiler are blatant clues that this is one mean boy racer. As you enter the cabin, the heavily bolstered sport seats covered with a durable fabric are designed to help hold you in place during spirited driving. A premium package can add heated seats and a sunroof. A large tach takes center place in the gauge cluster, just like in a Porsche, and an easy-touse sound system is complemented by a three-dial automatic climate control system. Interior trim is not fancy, and seats are manually adjustable—but this is as it should be, as extra power amenities just add weight and decrease performance. However, it does have the amenities of electric windows, locks and mirrors. Rear-seat room is surprisingly roomy, with a generous amount of leg room. The trunk is fairly large, and though the bi-level floor decreases its utility, the rear seats fold down to greatly increase cargo-carrying capacity.
Infiniti G37x
The best part of the WRX is its performance: Driving it is just a blast. Steering through the leather-wrapped steering wheel is tight and precise, and the taught suspension keeps the WRX flat as Kansas during hard cornering. The 5-speed manual transmission has a nice mechanical feel to it, and an easy-to-use clutch. After a second of turbo lag, this thing takes off like a bullet, pressing you in your seat and delivering zero-to-60 times similar to or better than sports cars such as the Porsche Boxster and Nissan 370. Brakes also are excellent. The all-wheel-drive feature not only assures good grip in just about any kind of weather or road conditions, but also aids acceleration grip and high-performance handling on dry roads, while helping minimize understeer on the track. Gas mileage is 19 city, 25 highway from the 265-horsepower, 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The WRX also comes as a 5-door hatchback, and a 305-horsepower version called the STi. Chris Johnson, sales manager at Lou Fusz Subaru, loves the looks and performance of the WRX. “Giving the WRX the body kit from the Sti elevated it from appearing to be an ‘Impreza with a hood scoop’ to a performance car that looks as satisfying as it drives.” Prices for the WRX start at only $26,500—that’s a lot of performance for the money. Another fun, but more upscale all-wheel-drive sedan is the Infiniti G37x. The G37x offers aggressive and attractive styling in a well-built package with a smooth and powerful engine and
luxurious interior. The interior is first-rate luxury, with rich leather heated seats with memory buttons, electric tilt and telescoping steering wheel, wood trim and all the modern conveniences you expect in a luxury sedan. A moonroof and navigation are optional. Distinct ventilation controls at the bottom of the dash console make using the dual-automatic climate control easy and don’t require using the console screen, which is used mainly for the navigation and quite helpful back-up camera. Separate hard buttons and steering-wheel-mounted controls for the sound system make it easy to use, as well. Rear seat room is adequate in the mildly bolstered seats, and those in the cheap seats get their own air vents. The trunk is large but irregularly shaped, and the opening is somewhat restricted due to the slope of the rear window, though there is a pass-through to the back seat for long objects such as skis. The bonus the G37x offers over other luxury mid-sized sedans is its performance, which at its heart is a 328-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 engine that pumps out power to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic, or if you can get by with rear-wheel drive, a 6-speed manual, for those who really want to maximize their driving enjoyment. Gas mileage is 18 city, 25 highway. Acceleration is brisk; and the handling sporty and fun, thanks to a taught suspension, good brakes and tight steering. The throaty exhaust note adds to the sporting experience. This is a fun car to toss around. According to Rob D’Alto, salesman at Plaza Infiniti, “The G37x is much more luxurious than before, with more standard equipment, more comfortable seats, a larger rear seat and greater technology.” Prices for the G37x start at about $40,000 and will go out the door in the low- to mid-$40,000s popularly equipped.

Nathan Smith, a 35-year-old investment adviser, scored the clinching point in a 17-9 victory against Britain and Ireland in the sport’s top amateur team competition. The victory also was a measure of redemption for Holtgrieve, Patrick Rodgers and Nathan Smith—the holdovers from the 2011 team, which suffered a two-point defeat at Royal Aberdeen in Scotland.

High School Girls Golf The fall season for high school girls golf has begun. Defending back-to-back Class 1 state champion Westminster lost three girls from last year’s squad. However, coach Steve Bradley’s Wildcats will not be rebuilding, he says. The program is on solid ground with several girls back and some talented newcomers ready to step in. Lafayette, who went undefeated in dual matches last fall, have four girls back this season. Parkway West has one of the best players in the state in senior Emily Goldenstein and the Longhorns will strive to qualify as a team for the state tournament. St. Joseph’s Academy, under veteran coach Carol Fromuth, should be strong again, as will the teams from Parkway North and MICDS. That’s it for this month. Take advantage of the cooler days and enjoy a round of golf at one of many fine facilities around the area. Until next month, keep them in the fairway.

Is a Home Still a Good Investment? continued from page 28 buyers need a home loan, he recommends reaching out to a mortgage banker for help. “We control the entire process—from application, to processing and underwriting, and, ultimately, closing.” A strong financial adviser who understands both real estate and investments on the stock and bond sides also can guide buyers through the acquisition process. Cooper meets with prospective buyers face-to-face and focuses on understanding their goals. “Whether it’s to purchase a home, rehab it and sell it quickly or build a portfolio of rentals for a long-term retirement investment, I use my experience to refer these clients to the best realtors in St. Louis that specialize in investment properties.” Jim Blair, principal at Moneta Group, agrees that clients looking to acquire real estate for long-term investment should consult a financial adviser. “It’s important for financial advisers to help individuals steer clear of making large, concentrated bets. One hundred percent of your real estate portfolio should not be comprised of one building. You should look for ways to diversify.” While experts agree that homes remain good investments, they caution against jumping carelessly into home ownership. Real estate value can vary from community to community, and even street to street, Blair notes. “Every situation is unique and needs to be evaluated.” Individuals and families need to carefully consider their budget and have an emergency fund as a safety net. Only then can they rest assured in home sweet home.
POWER PLAY continued from page 22 incredibly popular 2010 Metropolitan Museum of Art Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition. “The queen on the chessboard is very unpredictable and very powerful, and all of these designers are very unpredictable in their designs,” Hedman says. “Maybe they’re not so much based on trends, but more a high aesthetical value.” These aesthetically valuable pieces range in size, material and theme, with some teetering closer to sculpture than suits or sportswear. “When you’re working on an exhibition, you fall in love with all of them for different reasons,” explains Hedman, noting the Bubble Dress by Hussein Chalayan as one of her top picks. The impact of A Queen Within stretches further than fashion, as an educational program, Queen Power, will work to bridge the gender gap in chess. “We’ve always had outreach programs, and we’ve targeted various aspects of how chess can help self-esteem, behavior and focus,” explains
Overuse Injuries in Kids continued from page 45 joints in a balanced way.” In other words, all joints and their supporting tissues should be trained for strength, endurance and flexibility. Overuse injuries generally present with pain during the physical activity. “Soreness after working out may be normal, but once it creeps into the actual act of doing the activity, that’s always cause for concern,” Halstead says. “It should not be acceptable to be told to just push through pain with
Barrett. “There’s a societal need for women to be nice, which is fantastic—but that also means we’re shying away from our aggression, our forcefulness and our competitiveness. I think we need to teach girls to be competitive and be proud of it.” Woman Grandmaster Jennifer Shahade will be at part of the Oct. 16 Queen Power: Bringing Girls to Chess education event, at which the participating girls will tour the exhibition, making them the first members of the public to view the finished product. “People seem to think that chess appeals to the left-brainers,” Barrett says. “My goal is to show that chess is a very creative endeavor.” Only time will tell what happens to the exhibition after it closes in St. Louis in April, but there is currently talk of travel. “And the conversations have not just been national, but international,” Barrett adds. “Cross your fingers.” A Queen Within is presented by Wells Fargo, with support from Saks Fifth Avenue, Swarovski and Major Brands. activity in children. If the pain causes them to cry, limp, not be able to use an area or cause swelling, it should be evaluated.” Ice, rest and over-the-counter pain remedies may be helpful, but any pain or soreness that persists beyond two weeks should be evaluated by a physician, Halstead adds. Know what your kids’ workouts are like, Prather advises. “Are they balanced? Do they include a good cool-down? Remember, if your child needs Tylenol for pain after every practice, it’s time to get him or her checked out by a doctor.”
