CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE

SOCIETY ST. LOUIS BECAME THE CENTER OF THE OPERA UNIVERSE THIS month, when jazz composer Terence Blanchard’s Champion marked its world premiere at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. The reviews are nothing short of exuberant: The Denver Post calls it “a new kind of American masterpiece” and the Chicago Tribune hails its “flawless cast and production.” I couldn’t agree more. I was fortunate enough to be in the audience when Mr. Blanchard himself took to the stage for what seemed to be the longest standing ovation I’ve ever experienced.

Sharing the spotlight that night, alongside opera greats Denyce Graves and Arthur Woodley, was young Jordan Jones of University City. The budding star, who will start sixth grade in the fall, tells me that he wants to be a singer and an actor. “And since opera is both of those things, I want to do opera.” When I asked him what he considered the hardest part about playing Little Emile, he said it was performing in front of “like, a thousand people.” Start getting used to it, Jordan...we’ll be watching for you!

THE WINE LIFE What does grilling mean to you? Burgers and brats, pork steaks, seafood, veggies— the list goes on. But here’s the dilemma: How to choose a wine for these foods, as well as for entertaining outdoors?

FASHION IN BLACK & WHITE Black and white is a combo as classic as they come, but for Summer 2013, it feels as fresh and modern as any other hot trend. Shot on a rooftop overlooking our fabulous city, this graphic look is the perfect urban uniform—no gray areas here.

JULY 4 CELEBRATIONS Food, fun and fireworks will highlight Fourth of July celebrations throughout the St. Louis community.

What’s your Fourth of July tradition?

Stanley Browne

“Our family participates in the Fair Saint Louis Parade. We spend the day downtown, and later have a barbecue dinner on the terrace of the Four Seasons while enjoying the fireworks; it’s a new Browne family tradition.”

Wine Life columnist and certified sommelier Browne is the owner of Robust Wine Bar.

Dr. Joseph Kahn “My old tradition was to swim in my neighbor’s pool and then to climb onto my roof and watch the fireworks on the St. Charles riverfront. My new tradition is to spend the week of the 4th on vacation at Hilton Head Island, S.C., with my children and grandkids.” Kahn is president of Mercy Children’s Hospital Services.

Devoted Entirely to Family Law...

Your Family

Katie Yeadon Fashion editor Yeadon says, “Our tradition is pool games, dinner and fireworks out at Bellerive. It’s one of my favorite holidays—what says summer more than the pool, fireworks and lots of red, white and blue?”

Guests dressed to the nines to walk the red carpet, and even got pictures with ‘Marilyn Monroe’ and ‘Joe DiMaggio.’ A real star of the event was Steve Albart, who received the Champion for Kids Award. Proceeds from the evening enable Kids In The Middle to help children, parents and families thrive during and after divorce through counseling, education and support. And they’ve been doing it for more than 35 years.

A soon-to-be MICDS junior is the new Miss Missouri Outstanding Teen 2013. Fifteenyear-old TESS MANDOLI of Creve Coeur is a volunteer for a number of local organizations, including the International Institute of St. Louis, National Charity League and Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri.

Tess also was named the competition’s 2013 Miracle Maker, personally raising $2,500 for Children’s Miracle Miss Missouri Outstanding Teen, Tess Mandoli Network Hospital, the most of any contestant this year. She’ll represent Missouri in August at the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Pageant, which promotes scholastic achievement, creative accomplishment, healthy living and community involvement for American teens.

A star is born…JORDAN JONES is set to make his final bow this weekend on the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis stage as this season’s ground-breaking opera, Champion, comes to a close.

Jordan, a 10-year-old artist from University City, plays Little Emile in his debut role with the company. He tells LN how he found out about getting the role. “It was the day after the second audition, and my mom woke me up from a nap. You got the part! she yelled.”

Jordan, who has previously performed at Powell Hall with The St. Louis Children’s Choirs, says his Opera Theatre debut was both “exciting and scary,” and opening night was very memorable.

“When I walked into my dressing room before the performance, I saw a whole table there, and it had a trophy and cards and chocolates—it was really nice.” As for working side-by-side with opera’s biggest stars, including famed mezzo-soprano DENYCE GRAVES, Jordan says, “(Denyce) treats me like she’s my mom.

It’s kinda fun, but it’s also like Wow! All these great performers— they’re all very nice and down-to-earth.” Bravo, Jordan!

Young swimmers at Shaw Park attempt to break a Guinness World Record.

Last week, SHAW PARK AQUATIC CENTER in Clayton served as an official host to the ‘World’s Largest Swim Lesson’ in an attempt to set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORD. Sixty children locally joined tens of thousands of others in aquatic facilities around the world to break the previous record, which stood at 24,873. Guinness has yet to make a ruling on the attempt.

PAT SIMONS, the founder of St. Louis-based Ready Readers, is the author of a new book. Brothers on the Run: Fleeing Hitler, Fighting Franco is an historical novel based on the true story of Simons’ father and uncle, who escaped from Nazi Germany and survived 1930s Europe and the Spanish Civil War. In the late 1990s, Simons and others organized to form Ready Readers, designed to help prevent reading problems among preschool-aged children living in poverty.

Also out is the first book in a series of recipe-adventure stories created to teach and entertain young children. Local authors ELUKA MOORE, LARRY PUZNIAK and MARIANNE WELSH, along with illustrator KRISTEN GAU, have released End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad, which uses counting and colors, food exploration and fun problem-solving to help families establish healthy eating habits.

ON THE COVER

SAINT LOUIS ART MUSEUM

The Big Reveal The Saint Louis Art Museum will unveil its much-anticipated new expansion this weekend during a grand opening celebration featuring inspiring art, hands-on projects and festive performances.

On June 29 and 30, the public can take its first glimpse of the new building, as well as a revamped main museum. The multi-year project has been a labor of love, according to Tricia Paik, assistant curator of modern and contemporary art. “It will be an entirely new museum that we are presenting.

We are extremely excited to show this gem to the public.”

Construction on the sleek and modern new addition, designed by architect Sir David Chipperfield, began in January 2010 and was completed last summer. “We really wanted to construct a building that is of our time, but that would also be in concert with the 1904 building,” Paik explains.

The expansion boasts 21 new galleries, featuring contemporary, exhibition and ancient galleries. Through 85 multimedia pieces, the permanent collection of contemporary art gallery traces the development of post-war American art from 1945

to present day, showing influences of ’20s and ’30s European art with surrealism, the minimalism movement of the ’60s in New York, as well as contemporary pop art. Featured artists include Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, Donald Judd and Kiki Smith. “The gallery shows America’s interest in the act of creating art, not just the end-product,” Paik notes.

The Featured Exhibition Galleries displays 60 works from the museum’s extensive post-war German collection, including sculpture, drawings, prints, photography, and the largest paintings in the world by Ernst Kirchner and Emil Nolde, among others. And Gallery 259 holds the Continued on page 72

O SAY THE LEAST, IT’S NOT THE STANdard phone message. Hello, this is Maya. I am a seventh-grader at De La Salle Middle School, and I am somebody. You’re somebody, too, and your call is very important to us. When phoning De La Salle Middle School at St. Matthew’s (DLS), callers immediately experience one of the foundational messages of the program, making it easier to see how this inner-city institution is changing futures, one somebody at a time.

“We’ve regarded it as one of the best-kept secrets in St. Louis,” says DLS president, Corey Quinn, of this North City establishment. “While I think of that as a good place to start, it’s not a reputation I want us to have moving forward. It’s a little gem that’s been undiscovered. It’s a very small school located in a neighborhood that most people would not find themselves wandering through. But when found, it’s the bright, shining

RON AND CHERI FROMM

United We Stand

HERI FROMM’S FIRST EXPERIENCE AS a United Way volunteer was in Madison, Wis., where she was an employee campaign coordinator, visiting different companies and asking employees for their support in filling out donation cards. “I was hooked then; and when we moved here, we were asked to do this and thought it would be wonderful to do it again,” she says. Her husband, Ron Fromm, chairman of the board of Brown Shoe Company, also has a longstanding support of the organization, having been on the board of directors for United Way of Greater St. Louis since 2000. And this year, the couple was named as co-chairs of the nonprofit’s 2013 fundraising campaign.

“We have always believed in volunteering because we feel so fortunate; and when you volunteer, you really do receive more than you give—we’re always blessed by that,” Cheri says.

“We came to St. Louis 14 years ago, and we felt like this was our home. And when you look around, you realize that your neighbors need your help. We’re a community that helps each other—that’s what makes St. Louis special, you can feel that this is a community that cares.”

Since starting the job, the Fromms have been in a whirlwind of activity, meeting with members of about 50 different United Way agencies in a few short months, Cheri says. She has been particularly struck by the many organizations that help children—from keeping them out of trouble on the playground to providing computers for schoolwork, and making sure they progress through high school and on to college—as well as the senior care organizations and work for autistic persons.

At the Illinois Center for Autism, for example, the clients served “need special attention, but where do they go when they become adults, and how do they get a job so that they can grow and feel like responsible adults?” Cheri says. “This particular location has a restaurant where they make all the breads, the pasta, the cookies in the bakery, and they do all the service. They also have a craft-making facility, and they use flowers given by area flower shops and crush them to make them into clay and create beads and jewelry from them. It was amazing how proud they are of the things they were able to do.”

The work of 170 local nonprofits is supported

by United Way, which raised more than $72 million in last year’s fundraising campaign. This year’s goal has yet to be set, but is expected to be even higher, Cheri says. “The thing that’s amazing is that two-thirds of the money is raised by

individual gifts,” Ron says. “It could be as little as $2, $3, or $5 a week—or sometimes it’s thousands of dollars because we have generous people in the community—but every gift matters. It’s really that accumulation of effort that makes the difference.”

In addition to the work being done by the United Way’s agency partners, the nonprofit’s own contributions to the community are “something to be enormously proud of,” Ron says. One of the most efficient United Way agencies in the country, the local organization delivers more than 90 cents of every dollar donated directly to

its partner agencies. That’s in large part because of the many volunteers who make the nonprofit more effective, he says. “That’s not normal; it’s one of the top areas in the country, and it really comes from the generosity of this community,” he says, adding that one in three people in the area are served by a United Way agency each year. “So our message would be for everyone to consider a gift—nothing is too small and nothing is too big,” Cheri says. “It will all stay in the St. Louis area and help everyone. It may be your neighbor, the person you work next to or live next to, and it could even be yourself.”

HEN ERIN BUDDE WAS ASKED TO BECOME EXECUtive director of stl250—the nonprofit created to celebrate St. Louis’ 250th birthday in 2014—the native St. Louisan knew it was an offer she couldn’t refuse. “The next time an opportunity like this will come up in St. Louis, I’ll be in my 90s, so I won’t be doing it then!” she says. “I love St. Louis and I have no intent of finding a home somewhere else. If I want to contribute to this amazing initiative—this region-wide, very positive-oriented effort that is a look at where we’ve been, the momentum we have going on today, and how to sustain that momentum into the future—this is the time to do it.”

Having previously headed the nationwide community affairs team for Wells Fargo Advisors and served as president of Gateway Center for Giving, Budde is definitely up to the task. Her main goal for the celebration year is that it be inclusive. “We want it to be informed by folks throughout the region and have a big tent. We are, from neighborhood to neighborhood and from community to community,

Catholic Charities of St. Louis has been helping people in need since 1912. Organized as a federation of eight agencies, Catholic Charities operates over one hundred programs assisting more than 156,000 people annually in in the City of St. Louis and ten of the surrounding counties.

extremely diverse. Everyone will have a different way they want to approach the celebration.” She hopes this inclusive approach will help people discover new organizations and learn more about the region, as well as connect to their identity as St. Louisans.

Given this approach, Budde says the celebration will be twofold: First, through four signature events, including Fair St. Louis, a Birthday Bash on Valentine’s Day weekend, and bookended by First Night celebrations in Grand Center; and secondly, through events done in conjunction with celebration partners.

“We want everybody to help figure out how to celebrate within their groups and share it with us,” she says. “This will make it so creative because you’re not going to have just one group thinking of things—you’ll have thousands of people throughout the region thinking about it.”

One way they’re getting the wider community involved is through the Cake Walk project, which will see 250 giant cakes decorated by artists and placed at important institutions and historical points of interest throughout the St. Louis region, Budde says. The locations will be unveiled at a City Hall event on Feb. 15, as part of the Birthday Bash weekend celebration. Each cake will reflect the location it represents, which will be chosen by stl250’s history committee with input from the public, as well. People can explore the sites through a smart phone application, which will provide information about each cake they find, and allow them to take part in a sweepstakes. “What I love the most about this is it gives us the opportunity to program and build activities around those locations,” Budde says, adding that maps will be created for school groups, family outings and more in different parts of town.

More than just a celebration, Budde hopes stl250 will help St. Louisans appreciate the region’s past and start a conversation about where it’s going. “We want them to feel like it’s theirs, that they belong here and they have a role in helping us realize all of our possibilities.”

What’s Your Fourth of July Tradition?

Jim Doyle Morning anchor, Radio Arts Foundation

Barry Sherman Owner, Albarre Jewelry (shown with daughter Jamie)

Nancy Kranzberg Supporter of the Arts (shown with husband Ken)

“My wife’s birthday is July 6, and we celebrate it the entire month of July! So as much as July 4 is about America, it’s also about my wife.

We normally have a neighborhood party at our house in Brentwood, and we have a pyromaniac who lives across the street who puts on a massive firework display. We do it very safely though— last year, we didn’t have the fireworks because it was so dry. I’m friends with the chief of police, who told me, Do not even think about setting off a sparkler at your house this year. I don’t want to burn a neighbor’s house down!”

“I usually take my wife skydiving,” Sherman tells LN. Really? “Oh yes, every year we go skydiving.” No, really? “Not really. Actually, the Fourth is my youngest daughter Jamie’s birthday, so that’s our tradition—we celebrate her birthday. We’ll go to the Zoo and other things around town, and have a big party and a cake. This year, she’s pregnant, so we’ll probably break tradition and do something inside this year—I don’t know if she wants to walk around in the heat. We always go downtown for the fireworks, though, and we’ll definitely still do that.”

“A lot of times, we’re out of the country and it always upsets me because I’d rather be home. But hooray! I’ll be home this year. We’ve had a lot of fun: One year we were in Kiev, Ukraine; and outside the restaurant where we were eating, they were playing patriotic songs and lighting fireworks, so we don’t always miss out. But I just love being at home in the States on the Fourth.”

Beth Stroble President, Webster University

Judy Miller Agent, Janet McAfee Real Estate and public relations chair, Fleur de Lis

Susan Barrett Director, World Chess Hall of Fame

“The Strobles love a parade! Growing up, my husband and I often walked or marched in parades to mark the Fourth of July, and our daughter continued the tradition as a member of the Copley-Fairlawn, Ohio Schools Marching Band. Here in Webster Groves, Webster University sponsors 4th of July Community Days activities and appears in the parade. Sometimes, I ride along in a 1957 Edsel convertible. But this year, I will cheer on our entry that features Webster student members of our nationally ranked competitive chess and baseball teams.”

June 28, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

“One Fourth of July, many years ago, a very pregnant young woman tripped in a gopher hole and fell to the ground while watching the fireworks. Two days later, I was born. Now, every Fourth we joyously celebrate my birthday with Uncle Sam: cake, ice-cream, flags and fireworks.

It is always a grand old party.”

“For us, the Fourth is a huge family event day, so of course we play a lot of games. We usually go to the Webster Groves parade, then have a barbecue and go to the Kirkwood fireworks. One thing we enjoy is dressing up in a theme—we don’t do traditional red, white and blue. We add silly accessories and go to boutiques and vintage shops to throw it together. And we want to make sure that we can all see each other after its dark, so there’s usually always at least one thing that’s glowing.

This year, we all went to the Queen Within preview in New York, so we’ll probably stick with the Alexander McQueen-punk theme. I have some old punk T-shirts from the ’80s that I can glam up, and there will probably be some safety pins involved!”

FOURTH OF JULY NEIGHBORHOOD CELEBRATIONS

Time to Celebrate!

F

BY BRITTANY NAY

OOD, FUN AND FIREWORKS WILL HIGHlight Fourth of July celebrations throughout the St. Louis community. Here, find out the festivities your neighborhood has planned for Independence Day.

and Frisbees for pre-fireworks entertainment.

The patriotic night closes with a crescendo as a 20-minute fireworks display is set off around 9:30 p.m. above the city. For more information, visit kirkwoodmo.org.

CLAYTON Clayton residents can beat the heat this Fourth of July with a patriotic celebration at Shaw Park Aquatic Center.

The event promises to be fun for the whole family with pool activities, kids’ games, music, magicians, jugglers and giveaways from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. “It’s a bigger event this year because it is part of our Centennial Celebration,” notes Patty DeForrest, director of parks and recreation.

Event admission for Clayton residents is $4 for kids and $6 for adults, while those with pool passes can attend free-of-charge. For more information, visit claytonmo.gov.

LADUE In Ladue, Warson Terrace neighbors will be marching to the beat of their own drum this Fourth of July. For the past seven years, former St. Louis Symphony keyboardist Barbara Liberman has organized a neighborhood parade and picnic.

Led by the snare drum beats of former symphony percussionist Henry Claude, kids, parents and pets decked out in red, white and blue march through the neighborhood sounding noisemakers, waving American flags and singing patriotic songs such as Yankee Doodle and My Country ’Tis of Thee as neighbors in lawn chairs look on.

Following the parade, everyone meets on Liberman’s backyard deck for games and food, including St. Louis favorites like gooey butter cake and fresh fruit from the farmers market.

“It’s an old-time get-together,” Liberman says.

‘There’s a spirit of good will. We’re all Americans no matter our political beliefs, religion or color. I love that kind of togetherness.”

Liberman says the celebration was started some 40 years ago by a next-door neighbor, who has since moved away. But today the tradition marches on, 40-neighbors strong. “It just thrills me. I love all this mingling of generations and carrying on of the tradition. And don’t you think memories made together are always the best?”

CHESTERFIELD This year’s Fourth of July celebration at Chesterfield Mall will be bigger and better as the city celebrates its 25th anniversary, organizers say.

The eighth annual event, which draws about 15,000, will offer food trucks; a kids’ zone with inflatables, clowns and games; live music by nine-piece funk band, Fat Pocket; and a largescale fireworks show. The main viewing area for the fireworks will be in the parking lot between Macy’s and Dillard’s.

“The event is very much a family-friendly festival atmosphere, and this will have the most activities and food offerings we’ve ever had,” notes Libbey Tucker, community services and economic development director. Tucker adds that the celebration is unique because of its location. “The viewing area is on a higher elevation than where the fireworks are being shot off, so it makes them seem so much closer.” For more information, visit chesterfield.mo.us.

KIRKWOOD The sounds of Fanfare will open Kirkwood’s Fourth of July Freedom Fireworks celebration at Kirkwood Park, 111 S. Geyer Road. The crowdpleasing band will play a mix of Motown, rock, pop and more.

Murray Pounds, director of parks and recreation for more than 30 years, says the free event hasn’t changed all that much through the years.

“We stay with the tried-and-true tradition.”

That method is working for Kirkwood, as a healthy crowd of about 20,000 keeps coming year after year. “Back in the days when I was a day camp counselor and we handed out snow cones, we had about the same number of people come out,” Pounds recalls. “There’s a rich history.”

And it’s truly a family affair, with groups bringing picnic baskets, lawn chairs, blankets

WEBSTER GROVES The 61st annual old-fashioned family Fourth of July celebration returns to Webster Groves July 3 to 6.

Opening night gets rolling with the Children’s Pet Parade, where attendees can dress up their animals in patriotic gear and march through downtown. The family favorite event has welcomed dogs, cats, hamsters and guinea pigs in past years, says Mike Oppermann, director of parks and recreation.

The Happy Days Carnival held by the local Lions Club also returns this year with 15 rides and not one—but two—wristband nights, which allow unlimited rides for $25. And at 10 a.m.

July 4, more than 100 floats and marchers will be featured in the Show Me Creativity Parade.

Additional events include the crowning of Miss Webster, live music and a kids’ cartoon pool party.

And the celebration would not be complete without plenty of fireworks. Breathtaking displays will go off both July 4 and 6 over Moss Field.

During the course of the four-day celebration, some 100,000 revelers will attend, Opperman

notes. Activities are free, with the exception of the carnival and barbecue held by the Lions Club.

And those proceeds go directly back into the community, Opperman says. “It’s very familyoriented, with a lot of history and tradition,” he adds. “It’s a great chance to celebrate our country.” For more information, visit webstergroves.org.

MISSOURI BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER

RINGING A NEW BABY INTO THE WORLD is one of the most important days in a mother’s life. So having a detailed birth plan is crucial. At Missouri Baptist Medical Center (MoBap), chief of obstetrics and gynecology Dr. David Weinstein says his hospital is ready to meet each mom’s unique needs.

While most expectant moms still opt for a traditional delivery, Weinstein says during the past five years, the desire for a natural childbirth has doubled at MoBap. Since about 20 percent of patients will choose a more holistic, natural childbirth experience, the hospital ensures knowledgeable staff and new technology are on hand 24/7 to make that happen. “It’s not our labor and delivery, it’s the patient’s,” Weinstein notes. “Our role is to be supportive of that and make sure it happens in a safe environment.”

For each mom, a natural birth can mean different things. “Some people want to avoid being induced, others want to avoid having an epidural, and still others want to avoid a C-section,”

Weinstein explains. Whatever their preference, he says patients should communicate their desires to their physician prior to delivery.

Before having a natural birth, moms need to do their homework, Weinstein emphasizes. “She needs to find out what natural birth is by reading and attending classes, and she should ensure her partner and physician are supportive.” And patients should tour the facility and learn about its natural childbirth services, Weinstein adds.

There is a wide range of natural childbirth options and resources at MoBap. Prior to delivery, patients and their partners can take a four-week natural childbirth class, where they learn breathing techniques, labor positions and other preparation tools. “If you understand the labor process, it can help you manage your pain, because different points in the labor process have different pain,” Weinstein notes.

And throughout the labor process, patients can Continued on page 72

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

MAGINE THIS: YOU’RE IN A ROOM, EXHAUSTED AND surrounded by people who won’t stop screaming. You can try to hold conversation, but it’s often a futile attempt. When the shrieks subside, it’s time to act as personal chef, chauffeur or nurse before the howling commences again. This chill-inducing scene isn’t straight from a horror blockbuster—it’s a very possible, isolating reality for stay-at-home moms. The International MOMS Club, with its new suburban St. Louis chapter, is here to end the seclusion.

“We are geared toward stay-at-home moms, because we’re trying to provide support to moms who run around with their kids all the time,” says chapter founder Sharon Parks, noting that working mothers also are welcome to join. “It’s not easy. I have a 4-year-old and an almost-2-year-old. Being a stay-at-home mom can be very isolating.”

This isolation was the driving force for the group’s founder, Mary James of California, who decided in 1983 she wanted to join a daytime organization that allowed her to bring her young children. Since then, her creation, the MOMS Club (which stands for Moms Offering Moms Support) has expanded rapidly, exceeding some 100,000 members throughout more than 2,100 U.S. chapters.

“We started in April and now have about 25 members,” Parks says of the St. Louis County – Central Mo. chapter. “Now that we have a great base, I think we’re going to keep growing. I know a lot of moms in the group who are bringing other moms in.” Club activities are across the board, ranging from monthly member meetings to playgroups to MOMS Night Out. Parks says the chapter is currently laying the foundation for a book club and philanthropic projects. The group also goes on occasional outings, such as its recent child-friendly tour of the Clayton firehouse.

The socialization aspect of the group is, among other things, about “being able to vent with other mothers,” says Parks. “It’s all about the companionship, the advice and the support.” She notes that everything from colicky babies to seasonal allergies is discussed among other mothers who truly understand and have advice to share. But the perks are not only related to childcare—it’s simply a way to make friends. “You meet other moms, and it’s good for socializing for the mother and the children,” says Parks, a St. Louis transplant who was formerly the president of her previous hometown’s MOMS Club chapter. Upon moving, much like the original MOMS Club founder, Parks started this chapter to fill the void she found in her area.

“I don’t know how you make friends otherwise, when you’re a mom and you’re home,” laughs member Lindsey Mocca. “I’ve talked to other moms at the park, but it’s not like, Hey, we should hang out!” Mocca, a stay-at-home mother to a 3-year-old and 6-month-old, says that although she is from the area, her friends work, which makes it hard to socialize. “You need out of the house, and your kids will benefit from this,” she says. “Even if they’re babies, you still need out of the house.

I wish I had found this when my daughter was born!”

Newborn Screening for Congenital Heart Disease

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

W

hen a baby arrives in this world, the last thing a parent wants to hear is there may be a medical problem. In many cases, however, the earlier a problem is diagnosed, the better the treatment options and outcome.

Soon after birth, babies are routinely tested for many inherited, treatable conditions, including metabolic diseases and inborn errors of metabolism. The American Academy of Pediatrics also has issued guidelines on screening all newborns for congenital heart disease, helping to assure a healthy heart from the start. My colleague, Dr. Luke Bruns, is medical director of the Children’s Heart Center at Mercy Children’s Hospital. Dr. Bruns has put together some important information about the new screening: Congenital heart disease occurs in approximately eight of every 1,000 births. These babies have structural defects of the heart. Two of the eight babies diagnosed with congenital heart disease will have what is called ‘critical’ congenital heart disease—meaning it will cause a life-threatening situation for the newborn during the first few days or first month of life.

Because of the unique transition from fetal to newborn circulation immediately after birth, the newborn physical examination often is not able to identify critical congenital heart disease. During the first 48 hours of life, these babies may have no physical signs of any problem and have only mild hypoxia (low oxygen) with no visible cyanosis (blueness).

In the newborn nursery setting, pulse-oximetry screening is a simple, quick and painless measurement that has been an effective screening tool. A pulse-oximetry machine measures a baby’s blood oxygen saturation level non-invasively by putting an infrared light probe onto the baby’s hand or foot for a few minutes.

Studies have shown that most critical congenital heart disease lesions will be detected using pulseoximetry screening between 24 and 48 hours of life, followed by appropriate diagnostic testing, which includes a pediatric echocardiogram. Without early intervention with a surgical or a catheter-based procedure, babies with certain forms of critical congenital heart disease cannot survive. With early detection, made possible by this simple screening

technique, lives can be saved.

Newborn pulse-oximetry screening became a national standard recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in September 2011. In January 2012, Mercy Children’s Hospital began its newborn pulse-oximetry screening program. Every newborn at Mercy must pass the screening protocol at 24 to 48 hours of age, as designed by the Mercy Pediatric Cardiology and Neonatology groups, in accordance with recommended guidelines from the American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics.

If a baby doesn’t pass the screen, an automatic protocol for further evaluation by the neonatology and/or pediatric cardiology teams is set into motion to ensure a complete, prompt evaluation for critical congenital heart disease.

Despite effective treatment options that have improved dramatically in the last 25 years, the consequences of missing critical congenital heart disease in a newborn are very serious and can be fatal. Through early screening and intervention, however, congenital heart disease can usually be treated successfully.

Dr. Joseph Kahn is president of Mercy Children’s Hospital Services and Dr. Luke Bruns, is a Mercy Clinic pediatric cardiologist with Mercy Children’s Hospital. For more information, visit mercychildrens.net.

Jaundice

Know the Signs

By Connie Mitchell

J

aundice often is the first medical diagnosis of a person’s life. In fact, “all babies develop jaundice to some degree after birth— it’s a matter of severity,” says Dr. Jay Epstein, a Washington University pediatrician.

Some babies never display the characteristic yellowish skin discoloration associated with jaundice. Among the many who do, the color simply is a sign of too much bilirubin in the blood.

“Bilirubin is a chemical produced by the breakdown of red blood cells. The liver normally converts the bilirubin into a soluble form that can be excreted in the urine and stool. Newborns are prone to develop jaundice because there is a normal, physiologic reduction in the infant’s red blood cells after the baby is born, and the liver is immature and slower at processing the bilirubin,” explains Dr. Stephen Thierauf, a Mercy Clinic pediatrician with Mercy Children’s Hospital.

In most cases, jaundice resolves without any treatment. But in rare instances, a severe buildup of bilirubin can become toxic and lead to brain damage. Treating moderate to severe jaundice usually prevents this complication.

June 28, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

“Jaundice begins in the face, then as bilirubin levels rise, it progresses to the chest, abdomen, arms and legs,” says Dr. Kelly Ross, a pediatrician at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “So, by looking at a baby’s skin, a rough guess of the bilirubin level can be determined. Jaundice to the face or upper chest is reassuring. Jaundice extending to the abdomen or legs is more worrisome and needs a more exact measurement.”

Ross points out that the yellow color caused by jaundice is difficult to see in babies with dark skin. In addition, the gradual change in color can go unnoticed. “Many times, parents will tell me that they felt so guilty when the grandparents arrived and were alarmed to see the baby was very jaundiced and the parents hadn’t noticed the change. This has nothing to do with their parenting skill and much to do with the difficulty in realizing the subtle change in color over time,” she says.

Jaundice tends to peak within a few days of birth and is more common in breastfed infants.

“This is mainly because in those first two to three days of breastfeeding, moms have rich colostrum milk but usually not much milk volume,” Thierauf

says. “If jaundice develops, most of these infants will still fall in the mild to moderate jaundice range, and breastfeeding should still be encouraged. As mom’s milk supply increases and the infant begins to gain weight, the jaundice should start to decline. Some infants may have low levels of jaundice for months while breastfeeding.”

However, Ross is quick to confirm that breastfeeding’s benefits far outweigh any risks posed by jaundice. She adds that babies are checked for jaundice before being discharged after birth and during their first outpatient visit to the pediatrician, which typically occurs within the first week of life. If the doctor determines that the baby has jaundice requiring treatment, phototherapy is often used. Placing the baby under a special type of light, bilirubin breakdown occurs more quickly and jaundice resolves.

In general, Ross advises parents, “If your baby is not waking to feed, is difficult to keep awake for feeds or is feeding for shorter periods of time in the first week of life, call the pediatrician. If, on the other hand, your baby wakes to feed every two to three hours, is very alert and feeds well, then you have a healthy baby and can relax.”

Tear Duct Obstruction

Let the Tears Flow B

Julianne, daughter of Karen and Andy Zenor

By Connie Mitchell

abies shed a lot of tears. After all, crying is one of their primary forms of communication. But some babies spill many more tears—even when they’re perfectly happy—due to blocked tear ducts.

Approximately 5 percent of all newborns have symptoms of tear duct obstruction, says Dr. Steven Goodrich, a pediatric ophthalmologist with Mercy Children’s Hospital. Those symptoms, including excessive tearing and crusting of the eyelids or lashes upon waking, usually occur within the first few months of infancy.

“Eyelid hygiene of cleaning excessive mattering helps eliminate eyelid inflammation, and massage of lacrimal sac (a small sack at the side of the nose and beside the eye where tears may pool) may be helpful,” Goodrich says.

In most cases, the baby is born with a duct too narrow to properly drain the tears that are produced to keep the eyes moist at all times, and the tears exit the eye externally instead of through the duct and into the back of the nose. Many infants with this problem outgrow it before their first birthday, but those who continue to have symptoms at 9 to 12 months are candidates for a very simple and effective treatment.

“If symptoms persist by 9 months of age, there’s no benefit to waiting longer to treat the problem,” says Dr. Oscar Cruz, an ophthalmologist on staff at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. “The success rate (of treatment) is better if you do it before 15 to 18 months of age.”

Cruz is referring to a minor outpatient procedure performed under anesthesia to prevent the infant from squirming. Using a thin, blunt wire, the ophthalmologist gently probes the tear duct to clear any obstruction. Saline irrigation is generally used to ensure the duct is draining properly following the probe. There is little or no discomfort for the baby after the procedure, which only takes about 10 minutes to perform.

“That’s the standard of care. It’s a very common procedure, and the risks are minimal. The only real risk is if the probing doesn’t work,” Cruz says. “If the simple probing fails, you go to a stent.” This involves placing a tiny silicone tube in the duct for six weeks to three months to help stretch the duct and prevent further obstruction.

Both Cruz and Goodrich stress that tear duct obstruction is not uncommon and poses no long-term risks to vision or eye health. “It’s a nuisance more than anything else,” Cruz notes. “It looks ugly, but it’s not anything that will cause a real medical problem.”

HEALTH & WELLNESS

CANCER CARE at the beginning of their treatment to avoid the trauma of them losing their hair,” says owner Lilibet Iken.

•Patients visit the salon for a free consultation, during which a small amount of hair is snipped and sent in for manufacturing. Iken says the returning hair is “almost identical” in color, density and length, and is attached using a permanent surgical adhesive. To attach it to the scalp, patients have their hair shaved in a private suite and are turned away from the mirror, so there is never a moment of traumatic visual difference.

•Once the hair begins to grow back, the be Salon solution can be switched out for clips, to allow for a seamless transition.

•The program features no membership fees or contracts, and is comparable in price to a highquality, human-hair wig, according to Iken. “We are not a hair club,” Iken says. “I am a nurse who happens to own a salon.”

Support System

BY JULIA CHRISTENSEN

W

ITH ITS TOP-RANKED HOSPITALS and renowned medical schools, St. Louisans are fortunate enough to be surrounded by leaders in health care close to home, should the need arise. Since health can be viewed as a total self-wellness package, there are healing systems outside the standard hospital room. If you or a loved one are in the ring against the Big Bad C, keep swinging with comfort, thanks to these area programs aimed at those affected by cancer.

Cancer Support Community •Cancer Support Community (CSC) is focused on assisting those with or affected by cancer by providing free services in nutrition, stress management, education and support. “What we offer is a place where our members are empowered to live and flourish, despite their disease,” says program director Renata Sledge. “We offer them a place to feel valued and safe.”

•Nutrition information is available through individual meetings with a dietitian, cooking classes and monthly nutritionist lectures.

“Everything that we do is evidence-based,”

54

JUNE 28, 2013 {LadueNews.com}

Sledge says. “We bring in experts in the field.”

•“We offer support groups, as a place where people can just come and be whatever they need to be in that moment,” explains Sledge. This also includes programs for caregivers, survivors, children and families, as well as cancer type-specific gatherings and bereavement groups.

•Belly-dancing, yoga, Zumba, line-dancing, Nia and QiGong classes are offered through CSC’s Mind Body Spirit program, in addition to the Monthly Mindfulness series.

•Workshops and topics range from journaling to side effects to art therapy. “When I start my calendar planning every quarter, one of the first things I ask myself is, What are people not getting?” Sledge explains. “They’re not getting those questions answered about sexuality, or the impact of the disease to their relationships or children,” workshops help to fill the gaps. be Salon •In addition to expected salon mainstays, such as haircuts and manicures, be Salon offers permanent hair solutions to cancer patients.

“Our ideal scenario is to get a client coming in

Medical West •Outside of standard home medical equipment, Medical West offers bra assistance for clients who are or have been affected by breast cancer, and features in-house tailoring to customize fit. This includes unique garments featuring breast compression, aloe, vitamin E, altered necklines or adjusted straps, depending on the particular need. “Sometimes a garment off the shelf is disregarded when it may offer a very therapeutic fit, but it needs a little help—and we can do that,” says co-owner Dayle Sandler.

•On-staff nurses assist in finding proper creams and bandages, pending physician approval, to promote skin healing, protection and soothing post-radiation or surgery.

•“There is a myriad of different kinds of products for collection devices,” explains Sandler of products suited for those affected by urinary or colon cancer, noting the importance of the on-site professionals. “It’s a delicate subject, because it’s so important that the product fit the stoma properly for hygienic and comfort reasons.”

•Patients experiencing temporary or permanent incontinence can benefit from the discreet product sampling program, which helps find the right product without the wasted cost to clients.

Vakkár Salon •Vakkár Salon offers an annual day of beauty to breast cancer patients or survivors. “I had cancer in my own family, and that’s how I happened upon this,” says creative director David Johnston.

“Their hair texture changes,” he says, explaining that many times the hair comes back curly, which may need an entirely different style and routine than the pre-treatment tresses.

•The RSVP-required event is first-come, firstserve. “A lot of the women that come on that day are women who don’t get to treat themselves to a salon quite like this,” Johnston says. “I want them to feel that attention to detail.”

•The event, which most recently occurred on June 10, includes a free haircut, style, make-up application, goodie bag and professional portrait.

OR THOSE WITH A NEED FOR SPEED, A sports car is the perfect solution for your compulsion. Offering looks, performance, fun and sonorous accompaniment, a sports car is a viable option for anyone who enjoys driving.

New to the market this year, the Aston Martin Vanquish comes awfully close to being the perfect sports car. Its sole flaw will be revealed hereafter. For starters, the Vanquish absolutely is gorgeous, boasting the classic long hood/short sloped rear design that Aston Martin styling has all but perfected in recent years. The body is made completely out of lightweight but strong carbon fiber, which is exposed in several places beneath the classic Aston Martin grill and on the mirrors, and can be left exposed on the roof, as well.

This light body is mated with a 6.0-liter, 565-horsepower V-12 engine that fills the engine bay and is set back as far as possible toward the cockpit to enhance the car’s front/ rear balance, which is a perfect 50/50.

Light weight, a p owe r f u l engine and excellent balance are the ideal formula for optimum sports car handling, and the Vanquish handles as well as any car I’ve driven. Acceleration is breathtaking, with 60 mph coming in a hair over four seconds. The brakes are so strong, they could stop time. The fun is enhanced by one of the best-sounding exhaust notes ever heard. You don’t even need to turn on the Bang & Olufson sound system. Of course, I wouldn’t know first-hand, but I have a strong suspicion that this car could hit triple digits without even breaking a sweat.

The only mechanical drawback was the lack of a true manual transmission. Though the six-speed automatic, which feeds power to the rear wheels with limited slip differential, can be shifted manually with floppy paddle shifters, it’s just not the same. It’s a shame that on such a fabulous driver’s car, you can’t get a proper driver’s transmission. Gas mileage is 13 city, 19 highway.

The interior is equally superior, with rich supple leather covering every surface. A rear seat is optional, but if you get one its primary function will be to reduce insurance rates. The boot—or trunk—is pretty small, but you might be able to cram a couple of golf bags in. All the amenities are there, including dual automatic climate control, a reversing camera,

navigation and a screen-based system for most functions.

David Humphrey, brand manager at Aston Martin St. Louis, brags, “The Vanquish employs the most powerful production engine in the history of Aston Martin.” Of course, a car like this isn’t going to be cheap; and with a price tag of $280,000 to start, and probably more than $300,000 with options, exclusivity is ensured.

Another fabulous new British sports car is the Jaguar F-Type. A classic two-seat convertible, the F-Type boasts all-new head-turning futuristic styling that is sporty, strong and gorgeous as only Jaguar can design. Beginning with a large, rounded rectangular grill, the body lines flow through the hood and along the flanks in a taught, muscular cascade, and end with a s distinctive rear with cat’s eye tail lights.

Engineered for high performance, the F-Type offers an aluminum body stretched over a rearwheel-drive chassis with excellent weight balance and a stiff, sporty suspension. Three engines are offered, two supercharged 3.0 liter V-6s, one with 340 horsepower, the other with 380 horsepower; and a supercharged V-8 5.0 liter with 495 horses under the bonnet. With the V-8, there’s a plethora of power that propels this cat to 60 mph in just over four seconds, and the exhaust note is like beautiful music and adds perfectly to the sporty nature of this four-wheeled feline. Gas mileage is 16 city, 23 highway.

Though the 8-speed ‘quickshift’ automatic transmission truly does shift quickly, especially in manual mode, it’s a shame that in a true sports car like this a real three-pedal manual isn’t available. The F-Type’s short length and relatively wide width created a very balanced car, which combined with a low center of gravity, tight steering and a firm

suspension results in a terrific-handling car. Braking is very good. On the streets it handled superbly; I’d love to get it on a track to see what it can really do.

Of course, being a Jaguar, the F-Type has an interior that is swathed in rich leather and has all the expected luxury and comfort features of a cuttingedge modern premium vehicle. One especially nice feature is the cross-traffic warning signal that enhances the reversing camera. The trunk is a shallow afterthought, so shop lightly.

According to Boyd Hoffman, salesman at Plaza Jaguar, “The F-type brings Jaguar back to its roots with an elegant, small production two-door sports car.”

Prices for the V-6 F-Type start at about $70,000 for the V-6, and $93,000 for the V-8 version.

You really have to hand it to the British. They’ve come up with two phenomenal sports cars for the modern age.

Unreliable and second-hand gossip from around the world* TAYLOR LAUTNER The Twilight hunk recently was spotted canoodling with a co-star despite the fact that he reportedly has a serious girlfriend.

Lautner was spotted (and photographed) on the set of his new film, Tracers, kissing and whispering to his co-star Marie Avgeropoulos.

Well, I, for one, have some questions: How on earth did Taylor Lautner get another acting job after Abduction? And furthermore…

Oh wait, that was my only question.

DOLCE & GABBANA The A-list Italian fashion designers, who have dressed every celebrity from Madonna to Angelina Jolie, were found guilty last week of tax evasion, and an Italian court sentenced them to 20 months in prison. Reports are surfacing, however, that the pair will not serve any actual jail time. I know, I know.

It seems unfair. Famous people should be treated like the rest of us; but in this case, it’s probably for the best. Just imagine what an orange jump suit would do to the fall line.

KIM KARDASHIAN The new mother to a baby girl has been released from the hospital and is home with her bundle of joy. Insiders report that, like all new mothers, Kim is overwhelmed with all her new maternal duties. Let’s see...There’s selling the photo rights, coordinating paparazzi encounters, arranging for free designer baby clothes, ordering custom-made baby seats for the Bentleys, negotiating a multi-million-dollar deal with Weight Watchers, pitching a new reality show…what else is she forgetting?

KATY PERRY The pop sensation is featured on the cover Vogue magazine’s June issue, and gave quite the in-depth interview. Among the personal details the Fireworks singer revealed was the fact that British comedian Russell Brand ended their 14-month marriage via text message. I know what you’re thinking: tacky, rude, classless, disrespectful, immature. I guess you could look at it that way, but if you consider the fact that they exchanged wedding vows the same way, it kind of seems like a nice way to bookend the marriage. *so don’t quote me.

Doing

S

O I WAS HAVING DINNER WITH SOME friends the other night, and something occurred to me: It doesn’t matter if you have children or a job or dishes in the sink or a dentist appointment to schedule or an oil change looming, we always seem to have too much to do. Well, hold on a second. We have too much to do unless we don’t have enough to do. You know those days when you pawn off the kids, cancel coffee, let the laundry pile up...of course, the one thing I always remember to do after a day like that is kick myself about it. Sure, I watched the entire last season of Scandal, but there’s no food in the house. I never seem to have just the exact right amount to do. When unsolicited advice is offered about my perceived angst over this, it invariably falls into two categories: 1) You’re doing too much, or 2) You’re not doing enough Life is all about doing. That’s why to-do lists were invented. Even doing nothing is doing something. You can tell by the way people say it: Today, I did absolutely nothing. Doing nothing is such a desirable feat, it’s even possible to do too much doing nothing. That’s when you overdo it. If you eat too much, drink too much or watch too much TV, you really overdid it. Boy I really overdid it last night. What did you do? Nothing.

What is ‘doing’ when you really think about it?

We’re always doing something, after all. There’s always a verb to describe it. I’m sitting. I’m spacing out. I’m trying to look busy. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but it’s still doing. Something still gets done. You can even be doing something when you think you’re doing something else. That’s when someone will walk in on you and say, What the hell do you think you’re doing? That will make you stop and think. Clearly, an observing party does not think you are doing what you think you are doing. I think I’m going through your cell phone and checking your texts. Is that not what it looks like I’m doing? People may disagree on what is being done, but something is being done; maybe more than you think.

People can do good things; if they do enough good, they’re called do-gooders. I don’t know how much good you have to do to qualify as a do-gooder; I only know I do not make the cut. You can also do bad things. Here’s where it gets dicey.

If you do a lot of bad, you are not a do-badder (for obvious reasons). You are—wait for it—an evil-doer. You can almost hear the three notes of doom coming from the orchestra: dah dah dah.

An evil-doer is someone who takes wrong-doing to another level. Evil-doer status is reserved for

Debbie Baldwin

TANGENTIAL THINKER arms dealers, drug lords and genocidal dictators, and there is no upside. No mass-murderer ever got his sentence mitigated by throwing himself on the mercy of the court and saying, At least I was doing something.

So I may not be making or building or creating or fabricating or fashioning, but I’m doing. Some people save lives in the emergency room, some feed the homeless, and I may or may not have fallen asleep during a manicure—still, we’re all out there doing. The playing field is level. I guess that’s not entirely fair. Can I toast my friend for finishing a triathlon and go to bed with the same sense of accomplishment, you know, for the toast? Technically we both did something; but in the grand scheme of things, putting us in the same category, doers, may not be entirely fair. We can’t all be the same simply because we did. Could there be degrees of doing? I guess it’s possible.

Somebody should really do something about that.

REVIEWS MOVIE REVIEW

THEATER REVIEW

BY DEBBIE BALDWIN

BY MARK BRETZ

World War Z

Champion

UNDEAD TO RIGHTS RATING: 6 out of 10

T

HERE IS NO DENYING it: Brad Pitt is a beautiful, beautiful man. Keep Affleck, Clooney, Crowe, Damon—and I’m going alphabetically—Brad Pitt eclipses them all. Honestly, I would pay the price of admission to watch him watch paint dry. I used to do it for free...stupid restraining orders…but I digress. In any event, I think we all can agree that Brad is one of a handful of Hollywood A-listers who can man a blockbuster movie. Now, if someone could just find him a worthwhile movie to man...

It’s the zombie apocalypse and it’s up to Gerry Lane (Pitt) to stop them. Gerry was, at one time, some sort of U.N. operative, and is pulled out of retirement by Secretary Thierry Umutoni (Fana Mokoena) to begin a global hunt for the cause and the cure for the zombie plague.

I don’t understand these zombies, and the movie makes very little effort to explain the cause or spread of the virus that turns people into the undead. That’s all right, it wouldn’t be the first movie where zombies hunted and humans fled. And while Pitt and his small force of dedicated humans take their roles seriously, the zombies with their jerky contortions and teeth-snapping gyrations stray to the comical. The film is well-acted and entertaining, and that’s about it. I found myself frustrated imagining what the film could have been.

The Bling Ring SCRATCHING THE SURFACE RATING: 5 out of 10

CHAMPION PHOTO COURTESY OF KEN HOWARD

T

HIS MOVIE HAD ME wondering. On the one hand, it is showing in art-house theaters and showcases the work of Oscar-caliber talent. On the other hand, the film re-enacts one of the most pathetic spotlight grabs in the history of tabloids. So I found myself on the horns of a dilemma: Is The Bling Ring a smart indie film exploring the dark underbelly of celebrity, or is it a well-produced E! True Hollywood Story? In truth, it’s a bit of both.

If you don’t know the story of the Bling Ring, I will simply applaud you for rising above the wretched refuse and traveling the high road. For the rest of us, this is the story of the group of misguided, fame-obsessed nobodies who made headlines robbing the houses of celebrities. Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and others were victims of this band who craved nothing more than to live the lives of the celebrities they worshiped.

There is a problem here, and it’s societal and parental and educational and cultural and cinematic. It’s a problem director Sofia Coppola recognizes and yet exacerbates. These kids wanted a lifestyle that was unattainable, so they stole it. As a result, they made headlines; and as a result, they got famous, had a movie made about them, and may very well end up with the lifestyle they wanted to begin with. My only hope is that any other wanna-be, fame-seeking thieves are too dim to comprehend the irony.

THE STORIES Emile Alphonse Griffith, a young man from the U.S. Virgin Islands, arrives in New York City in the mid-1950s with a dream of being a singer, baseball player and hat designer. He also hopes to find his mother, Emelda, who abandoned him and his six siblings years earlier. Emelda gets him a job at a hat factory run by a former amateur boxer, Howie Albert, who convinces Emile to take up boxing and fight his way up the ranks.

Eventually, Griffith gets a bout against Benny ‘Kid’ Paret for the welterweight championship. After an ugly weigh-in at which Paret calls Griffith a derogatory Spanish word for homosexual, Albert advises Griffith to save his anger for the ring. At the nationally televised bout, Griffith pummels Paret savagely in the 12th round until the latter falls in a heap and dies.

Forty years after the fateful bout, the ailing ex-boxer, suffering from dementia, is finally given the opportunity to meet Paret’s son and ask forgiveness.

HIGHLIGHTS Opera Theatre of Saint Louis surely will see its star shine even more lustrously following the world premiere of this powerful and completely engrossing two-act opera.

Commissioned by OTSL, it contains a strong and stirring score written by New Orleans jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard and a sobering libretto by playwright Michael Cristofer.

OPERA: Champion COMPANY: Opera Theatre of Saint Louis VENUE: Browning Mainstage, Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road DATES: June 30 TICKETS: $25-$128; 961-0644 or opera-stl.org RATING: A 5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

It also features some remarkable performances, led by Arthur Woodley, who simply inhabits Griffith as a 65-year-old man in 2003 or so. Not only is Woodley’s bass voice resonant and rich, but he complements it with strong acting. There’s also a brilliant performance by renowned opera star Denyce Graves, making her OTSL debut as Griffith’s mother, Emelda.

Other memorable work is done by baritone Robert Orth as Emile’s trainer Howie Albert; former Gerdine Young Artist Aubrey Allicock as the young boxer Emile; Jordan Jones as Emile as a boy; and Victor Ryan Robertson as Benny ‘Kid’ Paret and Benny Jr. Champion is a knockout production that pulls no punches in telling Griffith’s amazing story of battling adversity and self-recrimination for half a century.

N 2011, MIKE RANDOLPH OF Good Pie fame decided to open up a brunch place. The result: Half & Half, which continues to draw throngs of a.m. diners. He then decided to up the ante by opening a fine-dining concept in the same space for the evening crowd. This eatery, Medianoche, focused on Mexican fare, but for whatever reason failed to take off. Last year, it was replaced

by Little Country Gentleman, and we have a feeling the current concept will be around longer—much longer.

Like several other popular eateries, Little Country Gentleman focuses its efforts on the tasting-menu concept, a prix-fixe series of courses that constantly evolve with the seasons and the kitchen’s creative impulses.

The restaurant offers two versions: a three-course ($42), and a Grand Taster ($78), where the chef produces a oneof-a-kind custom culinary experience. This time around, we decided on the three-course option, though we definitely have plans to return and go the whole nine yards.

Little Country Gentleman has a stellar wine program and offers pairings with each course, but we decided to take a tour through the unique cocktails on the beverage list (all identified by just a number). We were especially impressed with barman Jeffrey Moll Jr.’s use of the notorious Fernet Branca in drinks like No. 26 ($10), where it was paired with tawny port, McCarthy’s single malt whiskey and Amaro Nonino, and No. 1 ($10), with Rittenhouse rye, calvados, Cochi Di Torino sweet vermouth and Green Chartreuse.

During our visit, the menu was broken down this way: Course No. 1—Missouri Caviar or Lobster; Course No. 2—Halibut Cheek or Copper River Salmon; and Course No. 3—Cow or Pig. It would take much more space to give a rundown of all of the superlative tastes that came across the table, but here are some of the highest of the high points: • The amuse served before dinner—a spoonful of mushroom foam and radish flower—just enough to spark the palette.

• The Missouri Caviar was probably the most beautiful presentation of the evening: an oblong plate with dollops of dark roe and sour cream atop pieces of latke waffle, separated by little clouds of horseradish foam and adorned with edible flowers and dill.

• The halibut was paired with earthy porcinis, contrasted with some micro greens and then augmented with a light parmesan foam and a puree of ramps.

• On the way out, our server handed us a couple of bags with homemade snickerdoodles, a decidedly homey touch.

As you’d expect for a restaurant of this caliber, service was superb, but not formal. We were definitely made to feel at home.

The menu at Little Country Gentleman is constantly evolving so chances are that much of what we ate won’t be available next time around, but that’s part of the joy of a place like this—diners always get something new, creative and delicious.

THE WINE LIFE

SUMMER GRILLING AND BBQ

Cheers to the Outdoors!

BY STANLEY BROWNE, CS, CSW

L

ONG DAYS AND WARM SUMMER NIGHTS. Pool parties, picnics and backyard barbecues.

Nothing feels more like summer than outdoor grilling with friends and family.

What does grilling mean to you? Burgers and brats, pork steaks, seafood, veggies—the list goes on. But here’s the dilemma: How to choose a wine for these foods, as well as for entertaining outdoors? Well, truth be told, I personally not only serve wine, but include beer as a perfect accompaniment. (Water, too, is ideal for hydration).

Grilling adds charred and smoky flavors to foods, and can easily change the type of wine that may normally be best suited for certain foods.

Salmon usually pairs best with white wine; but grilling adds the bolder flavors and begs for a soft red wine such as pinot noir.

Let’s explore some backyard barbecue favorites: Pork Steaks/Pulled Pork: A St. Louis favorite, it’s all about the seasoning: plain or BBQ-style with sauces. If served plain (seasoned, yet fresh off the grill), pork goes well with a mediumbodied white or rosé. If served BBQ-style, it needs to match up to the flavor of the BBQ grill rub or sauce; typically a medium- to full-bodied red works well. Being here in St. Louis, a Missouri chambourcin will pair well. A general rule is when eating food from the local land, it’s often best to drink wine from the land or region.

Grilled Shrimp/Seafood: For the most part, choose light-bodied oaked white wines to full whites, depending on the dish: chardonnay, viognier, or even an oaked sauvignon blanc. Don’t be afraid of oak, which complements the oak/charred flavors of grilling.

Grilled Vegetables: Grab a lot of different vegetables and season well; add some olive oil and grill. Yes, there may be lot a different flavors going on; but overall, some lighter flavors than meats can go across the board. For this, watch what the main deal is and match the wine to that (perhaps either a medium-bodied white or a soft-bodied red).

Burgers, Brats and More: Generally, these simple but tasty classics fare well with bigger flavors. Think of medium- to full-bodied reds such as grenache, shiraz/syrah and blends, and zinfandels.

Steaks and More: Big flavors require bigflavored wines: cabernet and cab blends, Syrah, and of course, the all-American classic, zinfandel.

Oak and tannins fare well under this category, as they complement the big flavors of the meats.

This is just a small list of foods that can appear at an outdoor gathering; and as you can see, many flavors call for many styles of wines.

If you are just grilling one or two foods, you can narrow your choices down. If you are offering an assortment of foods, it’s best to offer an array of wines. When entertaining, you will need different wines to please all guests. As a general rule, start with lighter wines and progress to more robust wines to allow your palette to adjust. What’s an ideal selection for gathering al fresco? Sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, rosé, pinot noir and grenache will cover any outdoor lineup.

When entertaining, I think one of the great things about backyard barbecues is that they are casual, and one can graze from an assortment of foods and beverages from different wines to

beers, teas and waters. Summertime definitely is for sipping, and what better time to enjoy some great wines than while spending time with some friends and family near a grill?

TASTING TIP: Be aware of high-alcohol reds as they do not fare well with summer heat and can over-pronounce the alcohol. Also, big, spicy reds like zinfandels can exasperate the spicy notes of the food. If outdoors, keep a slight chill on the reds so they don’t get too warm.

WINE RECOMMENDATION: Well, hopefully you’ve perused some of the previous Wine Life columns, and have been exploring and tasting different wines. This is the time to bring some of your new finds and share—it’s informal, and if your guest not does care for a certain one, you can move on to some other choice.

ST. CHARLES COUNTY WINERIES

Mount Pleasant Estates

Vines to the West

BY MATT SORRELL

M

ISSOURI WINES CONTINUE TO GAIN respect among oenophiles, and some of the best are made by wineries in and around St. Charles County. Here are just a few of the places producing top-flight wines in our own backyard: MOUNT PLEASANT ESTATES Mount Pleasant is the oldest winery in Augusta.

It was first established in 1859 by brothers George and Frederick Muench, German immigrants who chose the location because its rolling hills reminded them of home. They built the winery’s cellars in 1881 with wood and limestone from the surrounding area, and they’re still used to age the winery’s estate-bottled wines and ports.

The winery closed during Prohibition but got a second life in 1966, when Lucian and Eva Dressel bought it and replanted the vineyards. They, in turn, sold Mount Pleasant to their nephew, Chuck Dressel, in 1992. Mount Pleasant grows 12 grape varietals on 78 acres. A second Mount Pleasant location opened in Branson in 2008.

The winery is especially known for its ports, which it has been making since the 19th century.

Currently, the winery offers three versions: Tawny, Vintage and a White Port that makes a rare appearance. These are made primarily with norton grapes, as well as a varietal the winery refers to as ‘Muench’ grapes. Named after the winery’s founders, it’s an experimental varietal they have never been able to fully identify. According to Chuck Dressel, “It makes a terrible wine but an outstanding port.”

which was the moniker of the family’s original farm in Germany. They began by growing grapes for Clayton Byers, the original owner of Montelle Vineyards and Winery, then segued into making their own wines in the mid-1980s. Blumenhof has received many industry kudos for its wines.

The popular Original Cyn, a dry, barrel-aged red made with cynthiana grapes, has received multiple awards, including a silver medal at the 2012 Tasters Guild International Wine Competition. Blumenhof also has had much success with wine made from valvin muscat, a very floral, fruit-forward wine grape developed by Cornell University. The winery won the coveted Missouri Governor’s Cup in 2011 for its 2010 Valvin Muscat offering. We’re told Blumenhof currently is working up some magic with Missouri-grown cabernet sauvignon grapes, so stay tuned.

Highway 94, Dutzow, Mo., 636-932-4405, blumenhof.com CHANDLER HILL VINEYARDS Chandler Hill was named after Joseph Chandler, a freed slave who was deeded the land where the vineyard now stands. In fact, the winery’s tasting room and cabin are situated on the site where Chandler’s cabin once stood, and some artifacts from his life that were uncovered during construction of the current facility are on display there.

The winery itself started up in 2008, bringing in custom crush wines from the West Coast. The Chandler Hills vineyards were planted in 2009, and the winery began turning out its own product in 2011, utilizing the 5.5 acres of chambourcin, vignoles and norton grapes, as well as some varietals from other vineyards. Chadler Hill remains known for its quality West Coast wines and for Missouri vinos like its Chambourcin Rose.

AUGUSTA WINERY Augusta Winery was founded in 1988 by Tony Kooyumjian, a third-generation grape grower who became interested in making wine during his tenure as a commercial airline pilot. During his career, Kooyumijian was able to visit many western European wine meccas and sample their wares. He then decided to give wine-making a go, first in St. Charles and then in Augusta. He eventually left the cockpit to focus full-time on wine in 2001. Augusta wines have won multiple Governor’s Cups for Best Missouri Wine, in addition to other accolades; and it’s especially known for estate-bottled wines made from grapes grown and harvested from its own vineyards. Style-wise, Kooyumjian says Augusta tends toward a more Old World style, aged a bit longer in the barrel. Most recently, the winery won Best of Class and Gold for its 2010 Chambourcin and 2012 Chardonel at this year’s Pacific Rim Wine Competition.

—5601 High Street, Augusta, Mo., 636-228-4301, augustawinery.com MONTELLE VINEYARDS AND WINERY Montelle was founded in 1970 by Clayton Byers and purchased in 1998 by current owner Tony Kooyumjian, who also owns nearby Augusta Winery. In contrast to his Augusta offerings, Kooyumjian says Montelle wines tend more toward the New World style, a bit more lush and fruitforward, similar to wines from areas like California, Australia and South America. Montelle wines continually garner accolades: Its 2010 Dry Vignoles took Gold and Best Buy at the 2011 Midwest Wine Review by the Beverage Tasting Institute, and its River Country White took Gold at the 2011 Mid-American Wine Competition. In addition to wines, Montelle also produces spirits. It has the distinction of being the first winery in Missouri with a distillery, and produces four types of brandy from its grapes, which are highly regarded in the industry. Montelle’s apple and peach brandies have received multiple Best of Class and Gold awards at the annual Missouri Wine Competition.

choose to be as active as they would like using the hospital’s new technology—a mobile fetal heart monitor, which allows monitoring of the baby’s heart as the patient moves around the Childbirth Center. The device also is waterproof—safe to use in the shower or in the warm water labor pool.

The staff is another unique benefit of MoBap, Weinstein says. “Our labor and delivery n u rs e s a l l h a ve a depth of experience and passion for this because it’s something they love to do.”

As for other birth alternatives, MoBap offers vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).

“Many hospitals aren’t supportive of this because of associated risks,” Weinstein says.

“But our philosophy is to support patients who Dr. David Weinstein, want to have a VBAC if MoBap it can be done safely for mother and baby.”

MoBap has long been regarded as a community leader in natural childbirth, Weinstein concludes.

“Doctors and doulas will steer patients here for a supportive, safe and meaningful experience.

We have the resources of a large hospital, but we also can provide customized care for a wonderful, individualized birthing experience in a safe environment.”

you should give back to the ones who help you,” he says. “I want to help the inner-city youth get out of the inner-city, and experience a great high school and a great college.”

By the numbers alone, DLS is making an impact: The organization boasts a 96-percent high-school graduation rate, compared to 47 percent in the area overall. The Roman Catholic middle school runs longer days and a 191-day calendar, meaning students log 1,710 annual hours, compared to 1,122 at most public schools. And while an approximate 9 0 p e rc e n t o f students qualify for free or reduced lunch, 64 percent attend a tuitionbased high school after completing middle-school— partly in thanks to scholarships provided by DLS. Class programs vary from standard schooling to i n c l u d e u n i q u e Corey Quinn, classes, such as an DLS president entrepreneurship program through PNC Bank. “Our students learned some of the basic concepts of starting their own business,” explains Quinn. The students studied real-life

Saint Louis Art Museum continued from page 28 museum’s impressive collection of ancient art.

The new space also will be home to largescale permanent and rotating exhibitions, such as an extraordinary limestone art piece—Andy Goldsworthy’s Stone Sea, featuring 25 10-foot arches that merge the new galleries and main museum, and Yoko Ono’s ongoing Wish Tree project, where visitors can attach their wishes written on small pieces of paper to a branch on the Wish Tree, which will be sent to Reykjavík, Iceland’s Imagine Peace Tower, created by Ono in

memory of her late husband, John Lennon.

Paik says the new galleries allow the art museum to show the great breadth and strength of its collection. The current exhibitions will be on view for six months, with new works being added in late January. Guests also will find multiple new amenities beyond the expansion’s doors, from the Panorama restaurant to an underground 300-space parking garage.

During the opening weekend celebration, the public can enjoy activities outside the expansion. On June 29, festivities will open with a 9:30 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by live performances, food booths and hands-on art

topics such as selling margins and profitability.

“I think that one of the things that we do best—and also is hardest to measure—is that we instill a sense of hope in our students,” explains Quinn. “We don’t just take a kid and reprimand him or her for misbehavior. Instead, the student ‘processes’—he or she is asked to remove themselves from a situation, reflect and write about it. Then, they go back to the teacher and work through that together, so the long-term result is the child understanding their emotions and dealing with those emotions in different ways.”

Former students continue to benefit, as DLS’s Graduate Support Team is there to assist with high school selection, standardized test preparation and college selection. “Our kids listen, and our kids really want to learn because they know that the adults who are guiding them genuinely care about who they are and what they become,” says Quinn. “There’s a real sense of shared respect and a common goal: everyone wants to see our kids succeed.”

With the first DLS students graduating college last year, Stewart-Glaze included, the measurable results of the program continue to increase and the ‘I am somebody’ attitude grows. “It’s a road of different concrete, because it’s the shining light of the area,” Stewart-Glaze says of DLS. “It’s the good that came out of the neighborhood.”

Quinn adds the school is trying to enlist the support of a broader segment of the community.

“If more people would join us, we’re certain we can be successful. I want to extend an invitation for anyone to come down and take a chance, no appointment necessary. We are completely transparent. I promise, anyone who does that will be greeted by a student who shakes their hand, looks them in the eye and says, Welcome to De La Salle.”

“the new galleries allow the art museum to show the great breadth and strength of its collection.”
