CONTENTS SOCIETY I HAD SOME FUN THIS WEEK WITH A QUIZ FROM The New York Times THAT claims to uncover one’s ‘personal dialect map.’ Some of the data used in the quiz is based on the Harvard Dialect Survey that began in 2002. After answering 25 questions (ie: What is the distinction between dinner and supper? How do you say pajamas? What do you call a sweetened carbonated beverage?), the quiz determined that my pattern of dialect most closely resembles that of St. Louisans (how about that?), as well as those from Detroit and Toledo, Ohio. It also showed that I may have a hint of a New York/New England accent, as well as a very faint touch of Southern cadence. I bring this up because this week’s Travel feature takes us to Bentonville in Northwest Arkansas, where the manner of speaking—among other things—is decidedly Southern. At one breakfast stop, I struggled to envision what I would get if I ordered ‘Freedom Toast.’ Well, apparently, I was the only one. Everyone else at the diner knew that you made Freedom Toast the same way you make French toast. Silly me.

We’re not just at the leading edge of vision technology.
MEE T OUR STA FF
How did you know your pet was meant for you? Julia Christensen
When I first saw Cap’n Crunch, my now-grown American bulldog, he was running full-speed across a field, tail wagging, with his dopey puppy eyes blocked by the giant-incomparison milk jug he carried in his mouth. My reaction, of course, was “I want HIM!”
Blaise Hart-Schmidt Just like me, my 11-year-old yellow lab, Idgie, is an extroverted goofball. She can never get enough petting. I try to take her to the dog park every weekend, and usually she’s more interested in having the other dog owners pet her than she is in playing with the other dogs!
Lisa Watson When I first got my rescue DOG, SHE slipped off her leash, hid under a truck, and bit my boyfriend when he tried to catch her. That evening, though, she quietly made her way to the dog bed I’d bought. When I saw her in it, my heart melted; and when I cooed, awww, she melted, too, and started wagging her tail. We’ve been inseparable ever since.
We’re helping to create it. Did you know Pepose Vision Institute operates one of the most prominent ophthalmologic research facilities in the country? We played a key role in clinical studies leading to FDA approval of LASIK and bifocal cataract lens implants, and continue to perform groundbreaking research developing new treatments for macular degeneration, dry eye, glaucoma and more. Which means our patients benefit from our access to and our intimate knowledge of the latest innovations in vision technology. That, combined with the vast experience of our doctors allows us to consistently deliver vision outcomes among the best nationwide. Visit us at peposevision.com to learn about all the vision procedures we offer.

A scene from Bob the Baker
One of St. Louis’ oldest bakeries is the subject of an original film that has captured national attention. Bob The Baker is about BOB SMITH, owner of Carondelet Bakery. The bakery has been in business for more than 135 years. Smith started working there at age 12, and purchased it at age 20. Today, he and his wife, LINDA, are its only employees. Bob The Baker took home a Silver ADDY Award for Cinematography from the National American Advertising Awards. The film is the first of The Spotlight Series created by ONCE FILMS of St. Louis. The series highlights local artisans and celebrates independent business owners.
Don’t forget the sunscreen…To kick off the first day of summer, a few St. Louis youngsters will attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson (currently at 32,450 swimmers in 13 countries). On Friday, June 20, more than 60 children are expected to gather at LITTLE FISHES SWIM SCHOOL in Chesterfield, which is serving as an official host facility for a second year in a row.
Make plans to join PERFORMING FOR PENCILS at 7 p.m. this Saturday, June 14, at John Burroughs School. The nonprofit is hosting its first-ever talent show to benefit schoolchildren in underserved areas of St. Louis. Students from more than 15 different area schools are participating, including Two Mellow Cello Fellows and Underground Tappers, previous winners of Fox Performing Arts’ St. Louis Teen Talent Competition. In lieu of admission, audience members are asked to bring new school supplies such as pens, pencils, erasers, paper, backpacks, etc. Mistress of Ceremonies is 2013 Miss Missouri SHELBY RINGDAHL.
Mary Bauer of St. Louis (left) joins Miss Missouri Jessica Hartman and fellow runners-up.
Congratulations to St. Louis’ MARY BAUER, who placed third in the recent Miss Missouri pageant. The winner, 23-year-old Jessica Hartman, of Springfield, will represent the state at the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City in September.

Gerard Hempstead and Steve Gross
broker-dealers—managing $78 billion in assets nationally and $2.5 billion locally—the firm is ready to help affluent families manage their current and long-term financial assets. Through its subsidiaries, Northwestern Mutual Investment Services and Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company, the firm provides a full range of financial-planning products, from

Through its fact-finder client approach, advisers become familiar with each individual’s unique financial dreams from which they build a custom financial plan.

Ready Readers
W
HEN MANY PEOPLE think back to childhood, they remember the stacks of books lining their bedroom walls, weekly trips to the library or being read to every night at bedtime. But not all area children are so fortunate. That’s where Ready Readers steps in. Ready Readers was started in 1999 by retired attorney Pat Simons. Simons’ husband was a pediatrician, who “was seeing the need of so many children coming in who had never seen a book before,” says current executive director Lisa Greening. “So, she and some friends started reading to preschool children.” Fast-forward 15 years, and Ready Readers has more than 570 volunteers reading weekly to 8,725 children, ages 2 to 5. The organization sends the readers to preschool classrooms throughout the area, where at least 75 percent of the children receive free or reduced lunch. Volunteers read for a half-hour each week to the same classroom all school-year long. Many become part of the preschools’ communities, Greening says, and

volunteer there for years. Volunteers get to choose which books they read each week. And every four to six weeks, Ready Readers provides volunteers with gift books for the children to take home. By the end of the school year, each child has taken home seven books. “A child’s vocabulary when entering kindergarten is directly correlated to a child’s third-grade reading scores,” Greening says. “And the way you get a strong vocabulary is through books and being read to.” Ready Readers volunteers receive a range of resources to help them pick interesting and appropriate books, come up with intriguing exercises and questions, and work with the teachers. The nonprofit collaborates with local librarians to create lists of good books that volunteers can choose from, and offers workshops to inspire and
coach the volunteers. A group of mentors also travels to the classrooms to observe the readers, and give them ideas to help them improve. Area teachers also use Ready Readers as part of their professional development: Last year, the nonprofit provided workshops for more than 420 teachers, offering them teaching methods and unit plans. Greening says most of the readers are stayat-home moms, retired people and students. All students in the University of Missouri-St. Louis College of Education are required to read for the organization for a semester, as are all fourth-year students at the St. Louis College of Pharmacy, who read the children books related to sleep, exercise and nutrition. “They’re trying to focus on health issues,” Greening says. “At the same time, they’re getting to be part of a community that they’re potentially going to serve as pharmacists.” While the Ready Readers relies heavily on its army of readers, its main focus remains on the children. “Investing in our youngest children is the best investment you can make,” Greening says. “To give children the opportunity to be able to read and to be able to learn is the one way I know for sure to get out of poverty.”

iriam Chapman opens to the first page of How Do Dinosaurs Love their Cats by Jane Yolen. Preschoolers sitting ‘criss-cross-applesauce’ surround her. Some wait quietly, ready for her to begin reading, while others raise their hands to tell her about their cat—or dinosaur—at home. Chapman visits Jump Start Learning Center in Pagedale once a week, where she volunteers for Ready Readers by reading to the students. Chapman discovered the organization at a networking event last year, and has been volunteering ever since. She also recently started working part-time for the organization, visiting classrooms and mentoring other volunteers, as well as helping with fundraising. Today, she has brought with her enough copies of How Do Dinosaurs Love Their Cats—bought for the organization by Purina—to give one to each child. Chapman says literacy is very important to her: As a child, her dad read to her and her sisters, and she always had a book in her hand. “Something my dad told me a long time ago was, You get your education, because no one can ever take that away
from you, which I find very true,” Chapman says. “It also leads to a lot of opportunity. Once you have an education, and knowledge and literacy, you’re able to make the decision of how you want your life to be. But if you don’t have that, the playing field is never equal for you.” One of the most rewarding experiences of volunteering with Ready Readers, Chapman says, is seeing the children learn and participate. She enjoys reading them books in which they can interact, make sounds, move and stretch. Anything with bright, bold illustrations, she says, also is a hit. Often she sings songs with the kids, and asks them questions to help grow their reading comprehension. “There were a couple children when I first started whose language wasn’t really developed yet,” she says. “I’m not saying it’s me who’s responsible for it—because they only get to see me for 30 minutes a week—but just seeing the work that the teachers are doing, really working with them on language and having conversations with them and reading to them on a regular basis even when I’m not here, it’s nice to see those students’ language skills improve... Way down the road, whether we know it or not, we have encouraged a child to be a lifelong learner and reader.”

The Mission Continues
W
HEN EXITING THE military, United States servicemen and women a re fa ce d w i t h t h e conundrum of what to do next. While a return to civilian life does not remove the character traits and skills developed during military service, finding an outlet for such talents may be difficult. Since 2007, more than 200 post-9/11 veterans have been able to utilize these traits to better themselves and their communities through fellowships, thanks to The Mission Continues. After completing his service as a United States Navy SEAL, Eric Greitens co-founded The Mission Continues using a combination of his combat pay and the disability pay of two friends. His motivation came from visiting injured servicemen and women at the Bethesda Naval Hospital; he says that each person he spoke with, regardless of injury, noted a desire to continue serving. “We believe that at The Mission Continues, we’re empowering veterans to serve their country in new ways,” explains Greitens. “We know that all of these men and women have a spirit of service—it’s part
26
June 13, 2014 {LadueNews.com}
of their character. Through The Mission Continues, we help to focus that spirit of service—focus their energy and potential—in productive ways in the community. What this does is it leads to growth and increased strength and wisdom for our veterans, while at the same time improving our community.” This community improvement has included more than 35,000 hours of volunteer work with 168 organizations. Currently, projects have been completed in 31 states and Washington, D.C. The Mission Continues offers veterans a sixmonth fellowship program, says Greitens. “During the course of our fellowship, they’re doing three things: They’re serving in the community. Now, all of our Mission Continues fellowships are built and individualized to fit our veterans…but it’s all focused on building stronger communities.” Locally, this community involvement includes a variety of nonprofit organizations, such as the Saint Louis Science Center and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “Second, they’re all pursuing a plan to advance their personal goals: they’re getting their resume together, meeting with private-sector mentors, applying to colleges, applying for jobs. They do these things while they’re fellows so that at the end of the fellowship, they execute what we call an ‘exit
strategy,’ where they go on to full-time employment or full-time education. The third thing that they do over those six months is complete a curriculum that I have designed to build resilience.” The results speak for themselves: 71 percent of fellowship participants furthered their education, and 86 percent were able to utilize militarylearned strengths in the civilian workforce. Outside of the fellowship program, The Mission Continues also offers other ways for veterans and community members to work together, such as service platoons—teams of current or former military who volunteer together—and service missions, which are open-to-all volunteer projects. “We know that we have to establish a legacy for this generation of veterans,” explains Greitens. “Everybody knows there was a World War II generation that came home and helped to build a stronger country; we also know that there was a generation of veterans that came home from Vietnam that had a much more mixed legacy and reception…We want the legacy of this generation of veterans to [believe] We’re a generation that went overseas, served with courage when our country needed us, and then came home and helped build stronger communities. That’s what we’re trying to build.”

UILT FOR NOT SERVING, startling statistics regarding veteran tribulations, and an interest in war history, as well as the impressive resume of Eric Greitens… These are the things that drove Steve Johnston to volunteer with The Mission Continues. Johnston, a Janet McAfee Real Estate agent, has been involved with the organization almost since its inception. He met Greitens at a lunch, and “after the lunch was over, I told Eric I thought he was amazing…and basically said, Anything I can do to help out.” Since then, he’s witnessed the rapid growth of the organization. Johnston, who now serves as the leadership committee chairman for the annual gala, guesses there were 200 people in attendance at the first event—the number has since more than doubled. “Mike Mullan, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was the guest speaker at the gala two years ago,” says Johnston. “He told the whole crowd from the podium that Eric and The Mission Continues were the model for the future of our

veterans coming home; when you get it coming from [him], you’ve got something special going on.” The Mission Continues’ fifth annual Veterans Day Gala will be held on Nov. 1 at The Chase Park Plaza. Johnston is involved with more than the gala; he has worked with The Mission Continues on a variety of projects, including a fellowship orientation and volunteer day with the Mathews-Dickey Boys’ & Girls’ Club, during which the organization completed tasks such as building picnic benches and painting. “It’s great when you get the community together with the veterans,” he says. “There’s nothing better than us saying, We thank you so much for your service. And for them to say: Thank you so much for coming out today and helping us.”

Unlimited Play Inc.
I
t used to be that every time Natalie Blakemore’s son, Zachary, went to a playground, he could only watch from the sidelines as other kids played. But a trip to Washington, D.C., changed everything: an inclusive playground there allowed Zachary to use his walker and play throughout the recreation area. “That day was precious,” Blakemore recalls. “To have that brief moment where he could just be a kid and play was priceless.” The Blakemores soon found they were one of many families in the St. Louis community and across the country who had a child with disabilities preventing them from playing on typical playgrounds—so they decided to build their own. “The whole goal is to get people with and without disabilities playing side-by-side,” Blakemore says. With her background in recreation management and experience caring for a child with disabilities in tow, Blakemore, along with her husband, Todd, launched Unlimited Play Inc. in 2003. By spring of 2007, their dream of a fully accessible place for all to play came to fruition with Zachary’s Playground in Lake St. Louis. Upon the playground’s opening, the Blakemores immediately received positive feedback—and
28
June 13, 2014 {LadueNews.com}
requests for even more inclusive playgrounds to be built across the region. “We got calls from around the country from families who wanted to play,” Blakemore says. So Unlimited Play’s threeperson staff and 30-plus volunteers responded to that need, rolling out Tree Top Playground in Shaw Park in Clayton, and Brendan’s Playground and Discovery Playground in O’Fallon, where more than 100,000 annually play. And in the works are even more play places—some named in honor of a child who is living with—or lived with—a disability. Currently under construction are three more playgrounds, with 11 more planned—from downtown St. Louis to Illinois, Wisconsin and even Texas. By meeting or exceeding standards set by the American Disabilities Act, the inclusive playgrounds allow kids and adults with disabilities—18.7 percent of the nation’s population according to the U.S. Census Bureau—full access to recreation and social interaction, Blakemore explains. Unique features include ramps onto every piece of equipment, shaded structures and splash pads for kids who are unable to regulate their body temperatures, climbing nets with seats for those who need them, metal and roller slides
instead of plastic ones for those with cochlear implants, musical and other sensory items to appeal to all the kids’ senses, and tile or rubberized surfacing in place of the traditional gravel or mulch-covered floors that can cause falls and impede those with wheelchairs or walkers. It touches Blakemore’s heart to see the interaction of families who can now play together. “Once, I met a family at Zachary’s Playground, and the 21-year-old daughter was able to swing for the first time. Her father had tears running down his face—it was so touching.” Blakemore also remembers a 9-year-old boy at Brendan’s Playground. “He had a walker, and he said, I can’t really do anything here,” she recalls. But soon, with Blakemore’s help, the boy realized he could get on and off the equipment by himself. “His eyes got bigger and bigger as he realized more and more he could do; and within minutes, he ran off to play with other kids on the playground.” The self-esteem and confidence that builds in the kids is amazing to watch, Blakemore says. “It’s those moments where I get to see how much it means to the families we are serving that are the most rewarding. For them to have that day to play together creates lifelong memories.”

at h l e e n M u r p h y k nows what it’s like to sit on the sidelines while others interact on traditional playgrounds. “I am paralyzed from the waist down and use a manual wheelchair, so I was not able to go with my nieces and nephews to playgrounds because they were inaccessible to wheelchairs.” That’s one reason she became involved with Unlimited Play Inc. Like founders Natalie and Todd Blakemore, Murphy desired a playground where families with and without disabilities could play together. And the Blakemores inspired Murphy with their dedication, continuing to build fully accessible playgrounds beyond Zachary’s Playground, named after the couple’s son. “Todd and Natalie were doing this for more than just their son,” she notes. As a former teacher and principal, Murphy knew Unlimited Play was an opportunity to teach students—and all ages—some important life lessons. “When a playground is accessible, it’s a good learning experience—kids become aware of what other kids with disabilities can do. And the more positive learning experiences we have with

each other, the less we will want to bully or make fun of others.” She used her education career background and experience spreading disability awareness to form a dedicated board for the charity. “There were parents, even those without kids with disabilities, who felt it was unfair that some families were unable to play,” she explains. Kids who have disabilities still want to be kids, Murphy emphasizes. “Some of us make assumptions of what is possible or not for those with disabilities. But kids’ desire to play and interact with other kids is not diminished because they have a disability.”

Why We Love Our Dads By Lisa Watson
“My dad has always been my role model and inspiration. From a very early age, I admired his success. He mentored me by giving me handson work experience and included me in social events to help grow my character. While I love my dad for all he has given me to help run a successful business, I love him most for just being my dad.” -Steve O’Loughlin and his dad, Bob O’Loughlin
“I love my dad for the way he loves me and the rest of his family. I also love him for the same reason the millions of people who listen to him on the radio love him: His gregarious laughter and conversation is a joy to be around. His loyalty and his generosity to his friends and family is legendary. Every one of us six Shannon kids and his numerous grandchildren count our blessings every day that he is in our life.” -Pat Shannon-VanMatre and her dad, Mike Shannon

The best kind of leader is the one who leads by example, and so this weekend we pay special tribute to our fathers—some of the best leaders of them all. Happy Father’s Day, dads!
OUR DADS
“He’s always been a wonderful role model for me. For my entire life, he’s always put family first and taught me how important it is to give back to the community. My father is so helpful to others, and he has always been a very positive person—he lives by the Golden Rule. I hope that I’ve inherited those qualities from him.” -Andy Dielmann and his dad, former Creve Coeur Mayor Harold Dielmann
“I am so very fortunate to have my father here to love and cherish. He will be 91 on July 4! He is still very much like his birthday implies: He has an explosive smile, a firecracker of a personality and a colorful view of life. His enthusiasm is contagious. When anyone is around him, they begin to feel the joy that he gives off. When I was just a little girl, my father insisted that I read the book, The Power of Positive Thinking, by Norman Vincent Peale. I did not fully understand the book’s life lessons until much later in life. But I can tell you this: My father lives a positive life every single day and is my role model. I am so very proud to call him my best friend and best father in the whole world!” -Diane Anderson and her dad, Walter Treppler

VERY DAY, WE COMMUNICATE WITH THE people around us in various ways: We make business phone calls, create plans for the future, and tell our loved ones how much we care. “The voice is very important—communication is key to interacting with other people; and those who can’t communicate get isolated. It affects their whole way of life,” says Dr. Randal Paniello of Washington University Voice and Airway Center. “Voice problems are quite common and they’re nothing to be ashamed of. But there are effective treatments for most, if not all, different types of voice problems once we make a diagnosis.” In his practice, Paniello sees patients of all sorts—those who use their voices as a part of their profession, from teachers and lawyers, to singers and TV and radio personalities—as well as average individuals having trouble with their airway or voice. “We first make the diagnosis, and that starts with a videostroboscopy,” Paniello says. “We put a scope in the throat to look at the vocal cords, and flash a strobe light on the vocal cords

Researchers Explore Potential Treatment for Fibrosis
T
he body’s ability to produce scar tissue is crucial in order to heal wounds. However, fibrosis is a condition in which scar tissue forms in otherwise healthy organs, or too much scar tissue is created during healing, causing damage. Researchers at Saint Louis University are working to understand the causes of fibrosis and develop treatments. The study centers on a protein identified in the formation of fibrotic tissue, and scientists hope to find ways to prevent the protein from triggering excess tissue formation. The research team, which published a paper on its work in the Nov. 10, 2013, issue of Nature Medicine, conducted animal studies in which lung and liver fibrosis were treated with compounds that suppress the trigger protein. The experimental treatment also lessened the severity of existing fibrosis, says Dr. David Griggs, director of biology at SLU’s Center for World Health and Medicine and an author of the paper. Research continues to explore appropriate dosages and the best ways to deliver the protein-suppressing compound.
Micro-LEDs Hold Promise for Treating Mental Disorders
W
ashington University researchers have developed minuscule LED devices that may someday be used to help target individual brain cells involved in serious mental disorders, such as depression and addiction. The micro-LEDs are part of a developing
field known as optogenetics in which light-activated genes are inserted into the brain and then turned on and off via the LEDs in order to create specific neural responses. For example, in experiments using mice, researchers used the micro-LEDs to cause certain neurons to release dopamine, a neurotransmitter related to feelings of pleasure. “Optogenetics allows us to zero in on specific populations of neurons and understand which ones are involved in complex behaviors,” says Dr. Michael Bruchas, assistant professor of anesthesiology. “What we learn from these studies will make it possible for us to target specific populations of brain cells that malfunction in depression, pain, addiction and other disorders.” The micro-LEDs developed by Bruchas and his colleagues are thinner than a human hair and wireless. Once implanted, they can be used to mediate specific neurons’ activity without tethering the subject to a wired device. Work continues to improve the devices and enhance their capabilities. {LadueNews.com} June 13, 2014

Rosemary and Spearmint Extracts May Enhance Memory
F
ans of supplements will be interested in new findings from Saint Louis University that indicate extracts of spearmint and rosemary may improve learning and memory. “ We fo u n d t h a t t h e s e proprietary compounds reduce deficits caused by mild cognitive impairment, which can be a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease,” says Dr. Susan Farr, research professor of geriatrics. “This probably means eating spearmint and rosemary is good for you. However, our experiments were in an animal model, and I don’t know how much—or if any amount—of these herbs people would have to consume for learning and memory to improve. In other words, I’m not suggesting that people chew more gum at this point.” The extracts are compounds made from antioxidants found in spearmint and rosemary. Mice that had age-related cognitive decline improved in some tasks after being given various doses of the extracts. Ongoing study is needed to determine effects in humans.
Endoscope Allows Physicians to Treat Gastrointestinal Issues Without Open Surgery
S
ome patients with gastrointestinal problems may avoid open surgery because physicians at Saint Louis University Hospital are using a surgical system that allows for repairs to be made via a thin tube inserted into the mouth and down the esophagus. Using the endoscopic system, surgeons can treat gastrointestinal bleeds, bariatric problems and ulcers without traditional incisions and external suturing. The endoscope inserted into the stomach through the mouth is equipped with a tiny camera and instruments that allow surgeons to perform procedures by viewing images on a high-definition monitor. The endoscopic procedure is outpatient and results in no external scarring. Other gastro-intestinal conditions can be treated in the same manner by inserting the endoscope through the rectum.

Earlier this year, the AIDS Clinical Trials Site at Washington University School of Medicine received a $4.9 million National Institutes of Health grant to continue such studies in collaboration with researchers at Vanderbilt University. The funding supports the university’s work as part of the national AIDS Clinical Trials Group. The collaborative research allows for many subjects to be recruited at sites across the country. The group has been instrumental in developing current treatments, and Washington University has been involved since 1988.
Researchers Study Drug Treatment to Reduce Sickle Cell Pain
S
ickle cell disease, a condition that results in abnormal blood cells, causes acute pain and episodes requiring hospitalization when blood cells clump together and block small vessels. “The typical vaso-occlusive crisis puts patients in the hospital for three to five days on intravenous medications,” says Dr. William Ferguson, director of the division of pediatric hematology and oncology at Saint Louis University and a SLUCare pediatrician at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. “All we can do is give supportive care, such as pain killers, and wait for the crisis to run its course.” Now SLU researchers are studying the use of ReoPro—a drug given to patients undergoing angioplasty to open blocked arteries—as a treatment for children and young adults who experience painful sickle cell episodes. Ferguson and his colleagues hope the drug may help reduce the length of hospital stays for sickle cell crises. ReoPro is approved to prevent clotting during angioplasty, but this is the first time the drug is being studied as a potential treatment for sickle cell disease.
Smoking Cessation Linked to Improved Mental Health
W
e know the many benefits of smoking cessation for our bodies. But quitting the habit also may improve mental health, according to a study by Washington University researchers that was published online in the journal Psychological Medicine earlier this year. “Clinicians tend to treat the depression, alcohol dependence or drug problem first and allow patients to ‘self-medicate’ with cigarettes if necessary,” says Dr. Patricia Cavazos-Rehg, assistant professor of psychiatry and the study’s lead investigator. “The assumption is that psychiatric problems are more challenging to treat, and that quitting smoking may interfere with treatment.” However, Cavazos-Rehg and her team found that reducing by half or completely quitting smoking was associated with a lower risk for depression and drug or alcohol addiction. “We don’t know if their mental health improves first and then they are more motivated to quit smoking, or if quitting smoking leads to an improvement in mental health,” Cavazos-Rehg says. “But either way, our findings show a strong link between quitting and a better psychiatric outlook.”

Innovative Eyeglasses Help Surgeons See Cancer Cells
G
oogle has nothing on Washington University when it comes to creating advances in eyewear. Google Glass may provide a headsup computing interface, but a new technology developed by Washington University researchers and being tested at Barnes-Jewish Hospital allows physicians to don special eyeglasses that reveal cancer cells via a visible blue glow. By wearing the glasses during surgery, physicians can more easily see cancer cells and ensure that all are removed. “We’re in the early stages of this technology, and more development and testing will be done, but we’re certainly encouraged by the potential benefits to patients,” says Dr. Julie Margenthaler, a breast surgeon who was the first to use the glasses. “Imagine what it would mean if these glasses eliminated the need for follow-up surgery and the associated pain, inconvenience and anxiety.” Currently, surgeons remove tumors along with a margin of surrounding tissue, and then await pathology results that indicate whether follow-up surgery is needed to expand the margin and remove additional tissue to ensure all malignant cells are removed. By being better able to see cancer cells during the initial operation, surgeons could more accurately remove all existing cancer, reducing the need for additional surgery. Using the new technology, researchers inject the tumor with a commonly used contrast agent that attaches to cancer cells and creates the telltale blue glow when viewed through the head-mounted video display.

Researchers Prepare to Explore Potential Hepatitis B Drug Cures
R
esearchers at Saint Louis University are using funds from the National Institutes of Health to study potential cures for the hepatitis B virus. The research will build on work by Dr. John Tavis, professor of molecular microbiology and immunology, who discovered a way to measure and block a specific enzyme, preventing the virus from replicating. Tavis’ findings may help lead to the discovery of a drug cure for hepatitis B, which currently can only be treated and managed as a chronic disease. Hepatitis B causes most cases of liver cancer, so a cure would significantly reduce liver cancer incidence. Using the enzyme measurement tool Tavis developed, researchers will eventually introduce various drug therapies and track their effectiveness. However, Tavis is focused first on improving the measurement tool, making it faster and enhancing quality.
Research Shows Compound Reverses Alzheimer’s Symptoms in Mice
I

Have Pet, Will Travel BY DR. DOUG PERNIKOFF
S
UMMER TRAVEL SEASON IS HERE, AND FOR PETS NOT joining the adventure, I encourage pet owners to discuss one or more options with their veterinarian. Commercial kennels can be great, but they can be costly and stressful to your beloved pets. It is important to visit the facility, along with your list of questions about their care protocol. Personally, I like to suggest that owners bring their own food, to avoid or minimize tummy upsets, resulting in diarrhea or worse. Some facilities allow pet blankets or toys. Be sure to mark them adequately, and sign off on leaving them there. I always state to pet owners that the kennel owners and administrators may have the best intentions in mind, but the care of the pets often comes down to the responsible actions of the kennel cleaner instead. So, again, be sure you can be comfortable with the group you select. Other options would be to hire a pet sitter to either care for your animal at their home, or allow them to stay at your home. The latter obviously is a better option for most animals. Ask for testimonials in either case, and make your best choice. Always leave an information packet with any scenario, including emergency numbers for you and the veterinarian, as well as pertinent patient health information. Taking pets along on the trip is very common these days. Whether you are driving or flying, the big point is planning. Where will you stay? Does your hotel accommodate pets? If it does, in most cases, you might need a health certificate, which is provided by your own veterinarian and offers relevant health and vaccine information. If flying, be sure to check with the airlines regarding special requirements needed, such as the sort of crate required. Very small animals may fit under your seat, while others will be required to be placed in baggage-holding or other related areas of the plane. Don’t over-feed in any case, and provide a stable water bowl, if needed. I always encourage pet owners to be sure animals have adequate identification on board. Collars with tags and names are useful. Some pets have tattoos, or better yet, a microchip that has important

O
NCE UPON A TIME…THERE WAS A HOME ON 4 ACRES in Eureka. Bob and Holly Berthold had lived there for almost 20 years with their two dogs, who were brothers from the same litter. When both dogs passed away, the Bertholds found the peace and quiet…well, just a little too quiet. About six months later, Holly found Penny during an online search. Penny was staying with a foster mom through St. Louis Pet Rescue, and her face reminded Holly of their other two dogs. “When people lose a pet, they always say they’ll never get another one, that it’s too hard,” Holly says. “But you do—the dog just chooses you.” Penny, an independent 1-year-old terrier, was happy in her new home, but soon the Bertholds found that she needed another dog to act as a companion and help her burn off her excess energy. That’s when Jack, a 2-year-old border collie, came into the picture. “We took Penny when we went to meet Jack for the first time,” says Bob. “You want to know beforehand that they’ll be compatible.” They now jokingly call Jack ‘Penny’s dog.’ When the couple adopted Jack, he was on calming medication because he was rambunctious while living with his foster family, who were working with 4 Paws 4 Rescue. However, when Jack got to their home and had the ability to run the grounds (some 2 acres of the property are fenced in), his anxiety problems all melted away. In fact, Jack turned out to be extremely obedient. Though the couple didn’t take him to training, he was “right where Penny

was—and we took her to beginner’s and intermediate courses,” Bob says. “It must have been his foster mom working with him.” For the couple, who are devoted gardeners (Holly works in public relations at the Missouri Botanical Garden and just earned her Master Gardener’s certification; Bob is a structural engineer) that type of obedience comes in handy. “They know not to go in certain gardens,” Holly says. “We trained them with leashes and flags—they have a whole field of their own, but I don’t want them going in my maidenhair ferns!” Sometimes, though, Jack’s intelligence astounds his owners. “He can open the front door on his own, and he can get in the potatochip drawer, and the cat food drawer,” Holly says. “One day, we were out in the garden, and had left the dogs inside, and all of a sudden, here comes Jack! We were telling our neighbor about it, and he said, Wait, so you’re telling me the dog is capable of rational thought? It was a little creepy. He just watched us open the door enough times and he figured out how to do it.” The Bertholds also enjoy keeping in touch with their dogs’ foster parents, regularly visiting at adoption days at the pet store or going for walks in area parks. “They’re as good as gold!” Holly says. “And they really care. They want to know they were placed in a home that is good to their foster dog.” The Bertholds are looking forward to their first summer with the dogs, and keeping up their tradition of visiting the Lake of the Ozarks, where they spend countless hours down by the docks. “We can’t wait to watch them swim for the first time!” Holly says.

The Curtain Exchange
More than Meets the Eye lighting, gives clients a better idea of the completed look. “That way, people are never disappointed in the end result,” she says. “It’s much better to take a full curtain panel than a small swatch of fabric.” The design effect of proper curtains, blinds or shades may be significant on the room as a whole. “Adding fabric to the room softens everything, and it just completes the room,” Ross explains. Depth and interest can be added to the space by layering fabrics through window treatments. The Curtain Exchange stocks approximately 100 curtain styles, bedding, headboards, cornices, and a variety of home accessories in-store. For customers who can’t quite find what they’re looking for, custom-made items are available. These Americanmade items include custom curtains, blinds, shades, pillows, table skirts, bedding and more, with speed and quality being the focus. Large items, such as headboards, are typically completed within three to four weeks; custom curtains have a turn-around time of merely eight to 12 business days.

Design by Nancy Robinson Crystal-Gazing When it comes to decorating with accessories, clear crystal is a no-brainer. Because it’s colorless, there’s no need to match a restrictive palette. And in terms of style, these accents fit in beautifully almost anywhere. Here, we present a selection of crystal accents ranging from high to low, contemporary to traditional. Whether your tastes lean toward luxury brands, like the Baccarat Amphora table sculpture priced at a cool $5,100, or to the youthful Lite Source table lamp at a fraction of the price, there’s, clearly something for every taste and budget.

Designer Transforms Nondescript Room into Chic Space One would never guess that this sleek, elegant family room/entertainment area was once filled with typical rattan furniture, a huge sectional sofa and beige walls. But that was pretty much what Savvy Surrounding Style lead designer CJ Knapp encountered on her first visit to this Frontenac home for a design consultation. At approximately 2,000 square feet, the space in question also was exceptionally large—far larger than the typical family room; and because of that, presented a host of special design challenges. Topping the list was the need for a design scheme that allowed for repetition and consistency to enhance the flow of the space without becoming boring. On the plus side, there was more than enough space to accomplish what the family really wanted: distinct areas for different activities, and plenty of seating. “We wanted to create separate conversation areas, while maintaining a consistency and cohesiveness in the space,” explains Savvy Surrounding Style owner Diane Fogerty. “The client wanted separate areas for watching the big game, chatting, eating and just spending time together. They did not want to use a lot of sofas for seating, and also preferred contemporary furnishings in their traditional home.” Before furnishing the room, however, Knapp incorporated can lights, decorative sconces and chandeliers to brighten the space. In addition, she replaced the existing tile floor and created
Luxury Linen Entrepreneur Visits Sallie Home for Book Signing Event St. Louisans are, shall we say, intimately familiar with Mary Ella Gabler. Her beautiful luxury linens have graced our beds for decades, thanks to retailer Sallie Kramer, owner of Sallie Home and a close personal friend of Gabler, who started carrying her Peacock Alley brand long before it became well known. Gabler visited Sallie Home recently to sign copies of her new book. Uncommon Thread details the journey of her brand, starting with a homemade boudoir pillow that caught the eye of a Neiman Marcus buyer in 1971, and which subsequently grew to become a multi-million dollar luxury business. But as Gabler reveals so eloquently in her book, the journey was not without a good deal of heartache and sacrifice. Her deeply personal narrative details the ups and downs of her company and by extension, her personal life. “I am deeply, uncompromisingly passionate about luxury linens,” Gabler says by way of explanation. “Having adored beautifully made

a custom mantel to display a glass sculpture over the fireplace. She then selected a variety of interesting furniture pieces for dining, relaxing and playing. In place of a traditional entertainment unit, she chose a unique cabinet with raised silver tree-like branches to house the audio-visual equipment. In the dining area, a contemporary glass-topped dining table reveals a beautiful, conversation-starting silver base and is surrounded by elegantly curved black leather chairs with silver nail-head trim. Nearby, a modern pool table with an interesting contemporary silver light fixture above it adds a new angle to the living area, while a tall bistro table with two bar stools upholstered in a hair-on-hide offers welcome texture. In front of the fireplace, Knapp created a cozy conversation area for eight with an arrangement of four chairs and a half. Tying it all together is a contemporary color palette of navy, gray and slate, plus mixed metal accents of gold and silver that conspire to create a fresh modern feel to the space. As for the homeowners, they couldn’t be happier. “The client was thrilled,” Fogerty says.

textiles from childhood, I’ve devoted 40 years to having Peacock Alley help others see just how soothing, elegant and complete our lives can be because of something so simple, yet so exquisite. But I would be lying to myself and you if this book painted a picture of my life as having been spent solely in the lap of luxury. That’s not the case. I’ve been in the hot seat almost as many times as I’ve been in the catbird seat.” Indeed, Gabler lost almost everything she owned—not once, but twice—in her bid to keep her luxury linen business alive. Today,

In addition to continuing her work in product design, Gabler is a lifelong member of the CEO Club of New York, the C200 Organization and the International Women’s Forum of Dallas. In 2001, Gabler was chosen as Entrepreneur of the Year from the Southwest by Ernst and Young.

Who’s Who in Design: Meet Melissa Hummel Melissa Hummel (formerly Buckley) is the newest member of the team at The Great Cover-Up, the Ladue design shop that specializes in fine wall coverings and textiles. Actually, this is Hummel’s second tour of duty at The Great Cover-Up; she was also on staff in the early 2000s. During the intervening years, Buckley embarked on a variety of design experiences, both near and far. Her design work has taken her from Town & Country (where she was on staff at the now-shuttered Frank Patton Interiors) to China (where she handled the interior design work on a 38,000-square-foot home owned by a Chinese entrepreneur). We caught up with Hummel recently to find out what she’s bringing to the St. Louis design scene, circa 2014. Here, we share a few of her favorite things that tend to find their way into her design projects. Upholstery: My preferred sofas and chairs have a definite shape and are like sculpture in a room. I especially love the Hepburn, Eleanor and Wakely models from Hickory Chair. I like trim details on the pillows, banded skirt hems, and fabrics that feel good, like velvets and tightly woven chenilles. Wall Coverings: Used with discretion, wall coverings add that special detail, pattern or texture that makes a house more interesting. I love the texture and depth of grass cloths, especially those in either neutral buffs or gray, and also Chinese red or terracotta. Recently, I’ve rediscovered metallic tea papers to brighten a ceiling. You can also use them to back a bookshelf; they draw the eye in and highlight the pieces on the shelves. Dining Rooms: I like the idea of combining dining with another function, perhaps a library. It’s also fun to use two round pedestal dining tables for intimate dinner parties. I always like to bring in some sex appeal with glimmering mirrors and window treatments in quietly elegant fabrics with linings and interlinings for drape and weight. Mirrors: Venetian, Florentine or American antique, these must-haves are like pools of reflection in a home. Place mirrors strategically to supply glimmer and light reflection. Pay attention to what the mirror reflects...it should be pretty. Floor Coverings: I’m enamored with handknotted Afghani and Pakistani Oushaks and Peshawars in soft colors with a velvety patina. They look and feel a thousand years old, yet are immensely practical as they won’t easily succumb to damage by dogs, kids or red wine. Their long-lasting increasing value makes them a worthy investment. The Fragrance of a Home: The scent of your home does a lot for your spirit, helping you reach your ‘happy place’ when you arrive home. I like Tommy Bahama Signature Island Retreat, especially for spring and summer. It takes me to that place of peace and pleasure through its scent. The mix of bergamot, gardenia and lilies
Hickory Chair furniture, including pieces by the late Mark Hampton
Hickory Chair bedroom furniture
is well-balanced and fresh. Home Accessories: Nothing drives me nuts more than clutter, tchotchkes and kitsch. Choose a few well-selected pieces with character. Having travelled repeatedly to China for design projects, I came to collect the ceramic horses that are favored in Chinese culture. Books are also collectible. In a paperless world, it’s tempting not to have any printed tomes around, but I suggest finding a subject or genre that you love and collecting books around that, then using them in bookshelves and on table tops to detail your design. I collect art, architecture and design books. Best Advice: Before you buy anything new for your home, make sure it passes the litmus test: Is it classic? Is it timeless? Will you love it always and forever? Acquire beautiful things,
and then take care of them. Choose well rather than often. My other piece of advice: Invest in a good designer! Allow your designer to get to understand your vision, help you achieve it and also help you grow in your knowledge of art and architecture. Enjoy both the process and the results; it will surely be more than you dreamed. My goal is be my client’s tutor, helping them find their true style. I try to make the process as enjoyable as the final result.

DIVERSIONS CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART
High Art in Arkansas
PHOTO COURTESY OF CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSEUM
STORY AND PHOTOS BY TRISH MUYCO-TOBIN
When we embarked on our journey to Bentonville, Arkansas, we were prepared for the unexpected—and that’s certainly what we got. We now understand why the art world is abuzz, and why publications like The New York Times (“…undeniable brilliance...”) and USA Today (‘Mayberry Goes Manhattan’) had struggled to reconcile what it was they were seeing in the heart of the Ozarks.
B
UT ONE ONLY NEEDS TO STAND BEFORE the museum marvel that is Crystal Bridges to get it. At first glance, copper, concrete, glass, cedar and Arkansas pine seem to have risen from the depths of a ravine to forge an architectural feat
in the form of Moshe Safdie’s dazzling monument. The building, nestled among 120 acres of gardens, trails, ponds and lush forest near downtown Bentonville, houses one of the premier collections of American art in the world.
Founded by Walmart heir Alice Walton, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art contains pieces rarely seen prior to the museum’s opening. Its Continued on page 64

permanent collection spans five centuries and includes works that have been part of the fabric of American lore: Charles Willson Peale’s George Washington; Winslow Homer’s Spring; Roy Lichtenstein’s Still Life with Stretcher, Mirror, Bowl of Fruit; Andy Warhol’s Hammer and Sickle; and even the original Rosie the Riveter by Norman Rockwell all are here…and that’s just the beginning of a very impressive list. Make plans to spend at least one full day exploring, although a two-day visit is better. There is no other way to experience Crystal Bridges than to complement it with a stay at 21c Museum Hotel downtown. As its name implies, the ‘museum’ part of the building shares top billing with 21c’s impeccable accommodations. The hotel, located on the northeast corner of the town square and within walking/biking distance via scenic trail to Crystal Bridges, boasts its own curated rotating contemporary art exhibitions, from paintings to indoor and outdoor sculptures. And despite its sleek, contemporary appearance, the hotel blends seamlessly into its surroundings—and that’s by design. 21c also is a dining destination. Its lively restaurant/bar The Hive is helmed by Arkansas native Matthew McClure, who does wonders with ‘country cooking,’ using locally sourced black walnuts, freshly milled corn meal, melons, hickory smoked hams and pasture-raised chicken. And dessert was just as satisfying, with choices like Mascarpone Cheese Cake with strawberries and rhubarb, and Chocolate Satisfaction, a cake served with coffee ice cream and garnished with hazelnuts.
TRAVEL
Another dining experience on Bentonville Square can be had at Tusk & Trotter, where the pig reigns supreme. Chef/owner Rob Nelson has mastered the culinary art of crafting porcine delicacies, from Pig Wings (smoked mini pork shanks), Crispy Pig Ear Salad and Hogzilla (a wild boar patty with bacon and bacon jam), to house-made desserts like Trot on Over Here (a sticky pudding cake with maple bacon brittle ice cream). By the way, the restaurant’s Risotto Balls have been singled out as Best Bacon Dish in the South by Southern Living magazine. For breakfast/brunch, do yourself a favor and stop by Press Room, where the vibe is as easy as Sunday morning. The café-by-day/bar-by-night hybrid not only has a menu brimming with local ingredients, it also has the friendliest wait staff around. Enjoy a well-crafted mug of mocha with Kale and Eggs, served on a bed of quinoa, and Shroom Sandwich on an English muffin with spinach, caramelized onions and Mornay sauce. Just like any small town, the town square is front and center. But Bentonville Square has one very notable dweller: the original Walton’s 5 & 10 on Main Street, the prelude to what is now the world’s largest retailer. The building now has the family-friendly Walmart Visitor Center attached, and includes interactive exhibits and memorabilia, as well as a retro soda fountain. Back in 1950, the 5 & 10 was advertised as the “most up-to-date modern, variety store in Northwest Arkansas.” Little did they know… And little did we know. Bentonville and its star museum was an unexpected delight. And if you’re an art lover, this destination most definitely deserves a spot on your bucket list. IF YOU GO: Bentonville is a five-hour drive from St. Louis. Visit bentonville.org for more information. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art; crystalbridges.org.

DIV ER SIONS STE. GENEVIEVE SUMMER SCHOOL OF ART
An Artists’ Resurgence
BY BLAISE HART-SCHMIDT
E
IGHTY YEARS AGO, IN SOUTHERN Missouri, world-class artists like Thomas Hart Benton, Joe Jones and Oscar Thalinger set up their easels and began to paint. They taught at the Summer School of Art, an offshoot of the Ste. Genevieve Art Colony, which was formed by two women serving on the St. Louis Artists’ Guild board of governors. The women, who normally summered on the coast to paint, started the colony when the Great Depression hindered their ability to travel. This year, to celebrate the school, as well as Missouri’s rich history and landscape, the Sainte Genevieve Art Guild is hosting the Resurgence of the 1934 Ste. Genevieve Summer School of Art, with three weekends of art-centered events. Karen Glines, past president of the St. Louis Artists Guild and the artistic director of this year’s Summer School of Art, says that guests will have the chance to attend an art exhibit, book-signings and forums led by art educators and experts, as well as take classes from prominent Missouri artists. Working with other committee members Carolyn Bach, Mary Peura and Jean Rissover, Glines says her hope is that the events will mirror what life was like at the original Summer School, right down to the models—an 88-yearold woman, who was 8 when she modeled at the first Summer School—will model for one of the classes. A student of Matthew Ziegler, a painter

who taught at the original Summer School, also will attend. Bryan Haynes, a New Regionalism painter, will teach a class on how to paint the figure in landscape. Students can be at any experience level, he says, and the class will start with the basics: mixing acrylic paint. Students also will learn about the craftsmanship the original Summer School artists had, something he says often is missing in modern art. In addition to working with students, Haynes says he’s excited to learn more about the historic Ste. Genevieve arts culture. “I’m hoping that some of the residue from the 1930s and ’40s might still be there in the town—in the

WPA murals or even the memories of some of the people who are there,” he says. “It’s important to resurrect this part of Missouri’s history. It’s good for our state to remember the Arts Colony, which made a real statement at the time.” The Resurgence of the 1934 Ste. Genevieve Summer School of Art will take place June 13-15, 20-22 and 27-29. Many events are free and open to the public. For more information, visit artstegen.org.

ADIES AND GENTLEMEN! BOYS AND girls! Step right up to The Pawn, this year’s production by the renowned Circus Flora. Grab your peanuts and popcorn, and prepare to be amazed by the chess-themed affair. Laugh with goofy clowns, watch, bewildered, as acrobats soar through the air, and see the impossible turn possible before your eyes! “[Chess] has an inherent narrative and drama to the game, with two opposing sides and 32 pieces on the board,” says artistic director Jack Marsh. “From the moment you step into our tent, you’re immersed in this different world. It’s such a visceral experience to hear the live music and see the live performers doing incredible things just a few feet from you. No seat is more than 40 feet from the ring. You really get that live experience.”
Circus Flora runs Tuesday through Sunday through June 22 under the air-conditioned big top at Powell Hall. Purchase tickets in-person at the box office, or online at metrotix.com.

WITH SCHOOL OUT, KIDS ARE ROAMING THE house at all hours, shedding clothes like peanut shells at the ballpark. The demands for food, rides, cash, sleepovers, upgrades, apps, and—strangely— privacy are incessant. My reverence for the teaching profession is renewed. (Although I’m not sure how many kids interrupt their teacher at his or her desk to call their cell phone because they can’t find it—but still.) Suffice it to say, the house is bustling. I say this because it only emphasizes the stupidity of my idea. On a normal day, during a normal week, kids in school, husband at work, it would have been a reach. But now? Mid-June with the inmates running the asylum? It was preposterous. I don’t know what possessed me. Maybe it was the challenge. Maybe it was the darn book that’s keeping me up until all hours of the night (Luminaries by Eleanor Catton). Whatever the reason, I wanted to take a nap. Now, either you’re a napper or you’re not. If you are not, I highly suggest that you try it. There’s something about a nap that’s liberating. It’s a freebie. Because it’s not mandatory, there’s no pressure. Second, if you fall asleep, great; if not, no harm no foul. It’s just a nice, quiet moment—all positive, no negative. It’s like being at a bar with your friends and that lurky guy with the combover doesn’t ask you to dance. But I digress. Where were we? Ah yes, my nap. I slinked back to my room and gently closed the door. I walked to the bed, pausing at each creaky floorboard like a burglar. Agile, quick and focused I climbed into bed, set my phone to vibrate and switched off the light. Ahhh. So calm, so peaceful...wait for it. Mom! Where’s my backpack? Why do you need your backpack? Now, you may wisely be wondering why I would ask a follow up question. I guess something struck me as odd. I mean, this is a kid who barely used his backpack when school was in session. Why the sudden urgency now? I want to burn my notebooks in the fire pit. Mystery solved. It’s in the laundry room. Back to the nap. The air cleaner hummed, a lawn mower grumbled in the distance. The wind picked up. It was quiet—too quiet. Mom! There’s no food! Now, I find this complaint particularly amusing. I can assure you, whatever else may be lacking in my house, there most definitely is food.
There’s tons of food. I’m starving. I believe it’s comedian Louis C.K. who uses the expression, ‘first-world starving.’ Clearly, we have a case of that here. And, you know how the first few rocks fall, then comes the avalanche? There’s a bee in my room! Cranky took my charger! Who deleted Awkward?! Punch is in my room! Pebbles ate a chicken leg! Whiny threw his phone at my head! Pebbles threw up a chicken leg! Someone’s at the door! Pebbles ate the chicken leg again! After a while, it all became a blur. I think you can see how this all played out. My senior quote in my college yearbook was an observation by a renowned Manhattan attorney, “All great men take naps.” One day, I hope to be great.

THEATER REVIEW BY DEBBIE BALDWIN
Edge of Tomorrow
INDEPENDENCE/ GROUNDHOG DAY RATING: 7 out of 10
I
N THE WAKE OF A STRING of atrocious big-budget bombs for Tom Cruise—and a title that makes it sound like a ’70s soap opera—I was fully prepared to hate this movie. I was hoping it would be so bad I could walk out, get a little payback for having to sit through Oblivion. However, I should have known that if any movie star can weather the storm, it’s Tom Cruise. After countless maybe-I’ll-rent-it releases, he finally picked a winner. In the not-so-distant future, the Earth is attacked. (That may be enough for you to stop reading; if that’s the case, I completely understand.) Major William Cage (Cruise) is killed battling the alien forces, only to find himself alive—and back in time—ready to fight again. Caught in this loop, he battles the enemy, and with each encounter, he comes closer to winning. He enlists the help of Rita (Emily Blunt), who knows his predicament and helps to train him to fight. A couple of words come to mind that rarely apply to action films: clever and witty. I have to say this movie surprised me (having the bar set low certainly didn’t hurt). This was smart and engaging, and as much as we love to hate his personal dramas, Tom Cruise knows how to helm a blockbuster. The only problem is, does anybody care?
Words and Pictures
CLICHE AND ENNUI RATING: 5 out of 10
THEATER PHOTO COURTESY OF JILL LINDBERG
T
HERE ARE VERY FEW actors working today I would rather watch on screen than Clive Owen. He is talented and handsome, and capable of demonstrating that rare combination of strength and vulnerability. He’s an Oscar-caliber actor just waiting for the right film. His costar here, Juliette Binoche, is a beautiful and charming actress—and yes, she already has an Oscar. Together, one would think there would be very little that could keep them from making a terrific film—unless that one thing is the script. Jack Marcus (Owen), an acclaimed author who teaches a highschool honors program, is a frustrated, cantankerous alcoholic who terrorizes his students and alienates his colleagues. When a renowned artist Dina Delsanto (Binoche), joins the faculty, she and Jack engage in a debate about which is more powerful: words or pictures. Despite their own crippling demons, a romance emerges—and because of the aforementioned demons, it falters. In spite of the efforts of both leads, the film flails. For a story about the power of language, the dialogue is stilted, predictable and remarkably un-poetic. I wanted to love it—and trust me, I could pretty much watch Clive Owen cut his toenails—but this film was just plain disappointing.
Hands on a Hardbody BY MARK BRETZ
STORY Ten down-on-their-luck contestants vie for the ownership of a new ‘hardbody’ pick-up truck being given away at a Nissan dealership in Longview, Texas. The trick is for a contestant to keep at least one hand on the vehicle at all times (apart from regulated breaks) for as long as it takes until the other nine contestants drop out. It’s every man for himself, every woman for herself and everybody for the keys to a fresh start to their troubled lives.
HIGHLIGHTS A well-worn cliché in modern language is the term ‘perfect storm,’ usually referring to a time when all the ingredients for an epic disaster fall into place at precisely the optimal moment for maximum destruction. A perfect storm, however, need not be negative. In the case of Hands on a Hardbody, story, music and production all come together seamlessly in New Line Theatre’s brilliant and captivating presentation, directed by Scott Miller and Mike Dowdy. Based on a 1997 documentary of the same name, Doug Wright’s book strikes a carefully calibrated balance between the depressing and the amusing in this tale of decent folks squeezed by the relentless grip of the Great Recession.
COMPANY: New Line Theatre VENUE: Washington University South Campus Theatre, 6501 Clayton Road DATES: June 13-14, 19-21 TICKETS: $10-$20; 534-1111 or metrotix.com RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5. More reviews available at laduenews.com
The wide-ranging musical score by composer Trey Anastasio (of the rock group Phish) and lyricist Amanda Green (who also gave us the wonderful High Fidelity, another show resurrected by Miller) is filled with finger-snapping, toe-tapping, head-moving tunes. There’s a humorous but biting country tune, It’s a Fix, whereby contestant Cindy Duggan and Keith Thompson as her supportive husband acknowledge that they’re rednecks but not stupid hicks. And Zachary Allen Farmer as a local DJ broadcasting from the site kicks off the second act with a hard-rocking number that raises the roof. Each of the performers gets his or her chance to shine on tunes that explain their characters in natural, unforced style that underscores the beautiful simplicity in Green’s lyrics. There’s a perfect storm underway with New Line’s regional premiere of Hands on a Hardbody, a musical that deserved a longer run on Broadway in 2013. If you like many musical styles all done impeccably, take this production for a test run.

Tony’s
The Legend Lives On BY SIDNEY LEWIS
THE TERM ‘LEGEND’ IS THROWN ABOUT pretty freely around town in relation to restaurants. Sometimes, it seems like any place that’s been open a few years and has halfway decent food is granted legendary status. But there are a small number of places that truly deserve the title—and Tony’s is at the top of that list. For more than 40 years, this venerable Italian eatery has been the epitome of fine dining in St. Louis, and our recent evening at Tony’s was proof that the restaurant is still worthy of the ‘L’ word. Earlier this year, the restaurant updated some of the interior decor and accents, and also loosened some of its dress code for guests. For those who may have been concerned that these changes signaled some sort of dumbing-down process, you can rest easy. The interior mods, handled by SPACE Architecture + Design, are subtle, bringing some warmth and depth to the dining areas. And while there were several gentlemen dining sans neckties during our visit, Tony’s dining rooms remain the pinnacle of taste and class. With so many delicacies available on the menu, it can be a daunting task to decide on just what to order. Luckily, there’s a Tasting Menu for Two ($180; $210 with wine pairing) that eliminates the guesswork and puts diners in the capable hands of Tony’s staff. We began with an antipasto of smoked salmon wrapped around some mascarpone with a few capers on top to cut through the richness of the cheese. These were served along with some asparagus spears and Belgian endive, and perfectly primed
our appetites for what was to follow. Next up was the pasta course, featuring tender penne pasta with lobster and shrimp. The richness of this dish was offset quite nicely with a crisp Italian Chardonnay from A. Lageder. While this dish was superb, the following course proved the pinnacle of the night’s dining experience: a gorgeous tenderloin of beef, perfectly mid-rare, topped with a lightly seared foie gras and served with a dark port demi-glaze, creating layer upon layer of unctuous, rich flavors and textures. It was the absolute definition of culinary decadence, perfectly accented with a dark and complex Barolo from G. D. Vajra. The cheese course was a nice, light segue from the big flavors we’d just experienced, and put us in the mood for dessert: chocolate cake with a dollop of house-made banana ice cream on the side, paired with a soft Vin Santo from Felsina that had subtle notes of stone fruit and a mild sweetness. While the food was delicious, it truly was all elevated by the superb wine pairings. Requesting the tasting menu without the wine option would be akin to ordering only half a meal. As always, service was superb and seemed effortless. Table-side preparations aren’t something we see much of these days, and Tony’s staff executes them flawlessly. Truly, the Tony’s experience makes any occasion special. The legend continues. 410 Market St., 231-7007

contact and other information. While driving, remember that frequent stops (about two to four hours) are appropriate for your pets. Be very careful about walking dogs around rest stops. Keep your pet very secure from escape or worse, from theft. On the other hand, please note that heat can be a deadly factor. Temperatures in the 70s, for more than 10 minutes in a partially closed car, can be dangerous. Heat stroke may only take minutes to develop to a point of serious concern. It would be a great idea to have a list of veterinary emergency facilities along your travel path, just in case. Again, I encourage minimal feeding of solids and intermittent water breaks. Another issue relates to securing your pets in the car as you travel. Maybe a seat-belt device, crating, or, if sitting on your lap, do it cautiously. Some animals require medication to help with nausea and anxiety. Your vet can counsel you about options. Bottom line: Plan well and be cautious. Here’s wishing you a great vacation adventure!
and other diagnoses we might otherwise miss.” Some voice problems are as simple as acid reflux that can make the throat hoarse, Paniello notes, which can be treated with dietary changes and medications. For those who use their voice professionally, overuse can lead to lesions. “Oftentimes, those lesions will improve if we do behavioral therapies to stop the overuse,” he says. “That doesn’t mean they need to stop talking—just to talk more efficiently.” For that, the center has a team of speech pathologists to work with patients. Another less common diagnosis is spasmodic dysphonia, which some people may recognize as the condition that NPR broadcaster Diane Rehm has struggled with. “The most common type, which affects 90 percent of patients, causes the vocal cords to squeeze too tightly when they talk, so the voice sounds very squeezed and strained,” Paniello says. “It’s not due to any kind of virus or systemic disease that we’re aware of. People get it for no particular reason.”
ANSWERS ON PAGE 76
Paniello treats this disorder using Botox injections, which relax the vocal cords. Many of his patients travel from as far as Joplin, Arkansas and southern Illinois because this type of treatment is hard to find, he says. “We also are working on some alternative treatments in the laboratory that we’re not quite ready to roll out yet,” he says. “We’re trying to find a surgical solution that would be a one-time operation, rather than the repeated injections.” Paniello has been nationally recognized for his research involving treatments for vocal cord paralysis and spasmodic dysphonia, including the American Laryngological Association’s prestigious Casselberry Award. The Voice and Airway Center will be expanding this summer, with the addition of Dr. Joe Bradley, who did his residency at the practice before leaving for additional specialty training at Emory University. Together, they will open a second location on Old Ballas Road in West County to better serve their patients.
NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL continued from page 22 And through Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company, advisers can serve as trustee, co-trustee or successor trustee for a wide range of trust accounts, Hempstead adds. “These include personal trusts, such as revocable and irrevocable trusts, whether created during your lifetime or established through your estate plan.” Among its St. Louis area offices, the firm has 28 72
JUNE 13, 2014 {LadueNews.com}
wealth management advisers, 25 certified financial planners and 10 fee-based financial planners to work with individuals on a variety of investment and retirement plans and strategies. And with the continued success of the firm’s two area network offices, Northwestern Mutual is looking to expand its diverse team with 100 more qualified financial professionals.
The firm’s unique advisory team sets it apart from competitors, Gross notes. “Working with one financial adviser who understands insurance, risk and the investment side, and knows how to integrate them into a successful financial plan, provides us with a real competitive advantage— one that works in the best interests for each of our clients.”
