CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTE

SOCIETY

THIS WEEK’S CHARITY SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON Support Dogs, a St. Louis-based organization whose mission is to help people with special needs achieve an improved quality of life with the help of service dogs. I

was introduced to Support Dogs 13 years ago, when, as a reporter, I visited with St. Louisans who could not say enough about their canine companions.

And I’m not using the word ‘companion’ lightly.

The dogs, who are brought into the program as 7-weekold puppies, learn to perform tasks we often take for granted—opening doors, helping someone get out of bed, or even retrieving dropped items like a contact lens or the back of an earring off the floor.

If you think that’s impressive, try asking their human partners, all of whom have gained a new level of independence, confidence and overall happiness—not to mention their own personal four-legged superhero. Our feature begins on p. 19.

AN ITALIAN FOODIE ADVENTURE All trips to Italy are food trips, aren’t they? It was going to be a leisurely time on La Bella Vita, a barge floating through the countryside Cole Porter wrote about in Kiss Me, Kate — Mantua, Padua, Venice.

The itinerary promised historic buildings and art (some weeks, it’s focused on golfing) but mostly, it was about a slow, indulgent pace.

HUNGRY FOR FALL? There’s finally a chill in the air, signaling that fall is upon us. In addition to better weather and some glorious foliage, the shift in seasons also brings a changing of the menu at many local eateries.

We offer a few highlights of what’s on the bill of fare at some area restaurants this autumn.

LIVING ACADEMIC NONPROFITS Local nonprofits are giving underserved St. Louis students a leg up on the college competition. “Students in low-income families and at underperforming schools are not getting the preparation they need for college, so we are devoting resources to it,” says College Bound executive director Lisa Zarin. College Bound, as well as Wyman Center and Springboard, are three nonprofits helping set up kids for academic success.

Contr ibu tor s Dr. Joseph Kahn Kahn, LN’s ‘The Doctor Is In’ columnist, is president of Mercy Children’s Hospital Services. His favorite hidden gem in town is Magpie Café on Main Street in historic St. Charles. “It has a beautiful courtyard and serves great food.”

Nancy Robinson Outside of a brief sojourn to L.A., Robinson has lived in St. Louis all her life.

She has spent most of her journalism career writing about design. “I’d have to say that St. Louis’ best-kept secret is the incredible residential architecture in St. Louis. There’s a design gem around every corner.”

Katie Yeadon

Rick Dildine Executive/Artistic Director, Shakespeare Festival St. Louis

Yeadon began her career covering fashion as an intern at Harper’s Bazaar and later worked at Allure, Seventeen and Glamour magazines. She was thrilled to return to St. Louis five years ago, and says our town’s bestkept secret is Vakkar Salon. “David and Tina are masters at cutting, coloring and styling hair. I love the intimate and laid-back vibe.”

The Rockettes also visited the facility’s children’s play area and demonstrated a short tap-dancing step from the group’s 12 Days of Christmas routine. The appearance is in advance of the group’s all-new Radio City Christmas Spectacular production, which comes to Peabody Opera House Nov. 8 to 17.

Thousands of people are needed to package rice/soy protein meals in this community-wide effort.

A registration fee ($10 for students/$20 for adults) will partially offset the costs of ingredients, material and meal shipments.

WORD AROUND TOWN Actress and St. Louis native ANNIE WERSCHING is spearheading efforts for a college scholarship to benefit local students.

The 24 star was in town recently to establish a Southeast Missouri State scholarship in honor of her parents, the late FRANK and SANDY WERSCHING, who graduated from Southeast in 1965. The Werschings owned the St. Charles Theatre and Opera House in the mid-’70s and made significant contributions to the local arts community through the years.

The actress, who played FBI special agent Renee Walker opposite KIEFER SUTHERLAND on the hit show 24, will appear on ABC’s upcoming mid-season premiere of Body of Proof. The scholarship she established will aid St. Louis students who wish to study theater at Southeast’s River Campus. A reception to benefit the the Wersching Scholarship fund will be held Friday, Oct. 26, at the Central West End home of MARY STRAUSS. For tickets, call (573) 651-2259 or visit STLCares.com.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

Q&A

With Jon Huntsman Jr. Jon Huntsman Jr. is most widely known for his bid to become the Republican presidential candidate in this year’s primary season. However, he has spent more than a decade in public service; and during his tenure as governor of Utah, the state was named the Best Managed State in America by the Pew Center. He also has served as the U.S. ambassador to China and Singapore. LN caught up with Huntsman just after he arrived in St. Louis this week for his Maryville University St. Louis Speakers Series appearance.

LN: What have you been up to since ending your presidential campaign? I’ve mainly been merging back into private life, starting to do all those things I wasn’t able to do in the past 12 years working as a public servant. I’m chairing a cancer institute, as well as a cyber-security task force, which evaluates the risks posed by cyberintrusion. I’m also on a couple of corporate boards, Ford Motor Company and Caterpillar among them.

In the meantime, I’m also trying to be a good dad to my seven kids.

LN: Do you feel like you got your message out during the campaign? If you don’t cross the finish line, it doesn’t end as you would hope. But to the extent that I was able to get in and broaden the discussion about reality-based solutions for our country, the need to bring people together during a time of real challenge, and address things like the trust deficit—which is just as corrosive over time as the fiscal deficit—that would suggest it was time well-spent. The outcome wasn’t what we had hoped for, but there wasn’t a bad day on the campaign trail. It was a great honor and privilege to wear the shoes of candidate for highest office in the land and participate in the debate at that level.

It was just a thrill.

LN: Would you ever consider running again? You have to be a little crazy to do it once and outlandishly crazy to do it twice. You probably need to let a year go by and get the cobwebs cleared from your head, and I’m not there yet. Maybe it’s for a discussion in the future, but it’s hard to know how history will play out: Who will be president in the next election cycle, if issues you feel passionately about will be central to the nation’s conversation, if you’ll be marketable as a candidate. There are lots of elements at play, and you have to really sit down and analyze them.

BY LISA WATSON

OCTOBER 5, 2012 {LadueNews.com}

LN: What are some of the top issues you think voters should keep in mind when they’re deciding how to vote in this election? They need to focus on our three key deficits and who is best positioned to improve them. The first is the fiscal deficit; the second is the trust deficit, and that’s where is the president going to take on status quo— campaign finance reform, big money and politics that are ruining our democracy; the third would be what I consider a confidence deficit. We need a leader who, in inspiring and hopeful terms, can rally all of us as Americans regardless of party affiliation.

Those are the most salient things in this election.

But how people will make the decision is a highly personal thing.

LN: Have you worked with either of the candidates personally, and how does that affect your view of them? I haven’t worked with Gov. Romney; our governorships overlapped for a couple of years, but I didn’t get to know him. I got to work with President Obama when he assigned me to China.

As with the defense department, some positions rise above partisanship and I was honored to be in one such position. I respect President Obama as someone who has tried to lead through inspiring words; but in the end, I think he falls short.

LN: As a former ambassador to China, you’ve been harsh of the country’s human rights record.

Have you seen China becoming more open, or do you expect it to improve in the coming years? It’s an issue—and it will remain an issue—when you have a one-party system where that one party retains all the accoutrements of power and has actually taken steps in the wrong direction in terms of liberalization and human rights. Some of that can be attributed to transition politics—every 10 years they have a major transition where new generation of politicians steps up. We’re a year or so out from that in its final form,

and typically a harder line is taken by the leaders during that time. People will be watching for signs of real confidence in both the political and economic sides between now and mid-2013.

LN: Many people see China as a threat or competitor to the U.S.—do you see them that way, or could there be a positive partnership? A little bit of both. We have to realize with China’s rise will come challenges. You can’t go from $0 in trade to $400 billion in trade in a decade or two without some serious wrangling on issues like intellectual property rights, financial services reform, or any number of big issues we’d like to see them move with greater dispatch on. That aside, there will be enormous opportunities for entrepreneurs here in the States, especially as China moves its currency in a direction more consistent with market valuation. They’ve been slow to do it, but they’re moving in that direction, and as they do we’ll be more competitive as an export base. I see the future as being full of real opportunities.

LN: What do you see as America’s biggest challenge in the coming years? The debt problem is the biggest challenge right now. When you run that is 100 percent debt of the gross national product, it inhibits your ability to compete on the world stage and makes it difficult for new businesses to start up and for new jobs to be created.

It hampers our income stream because of reduced productivity; and when you lessen income stream, you’re not able to do things for schools and roads, or basic infrastructure and energy needs, all of which need to be addressed in the 21st century.

And it’s a very unfair thing to pass down to the next generation. I don’t care whether you’re a Democrat or Republican—that is one issue that really needs to be addressed and managed for us to make our system work.

All the Comforts

OF HOME

The Gatesworth

ON A RECENT FALL MORNING, A GATESWORTH resident sat in the atrium watching her granddaughter eat breakfast, enjoy some play and even take a nap—in New Jersey. “She was able to see some of the baby’s daily experiences on Skype,” says executive director Martha Kessel.

The computer service is one of a multitude of perks that allow Gatesworth residents to lead more fulfilling lives. Janet Belt looks forward to enjoying all The Gatesworth has to offer when she moves in this month. According to her daughter, Janet Quinn, “We’ve fallen in love with everything they do at The Gatesworth. But the best part about The Gatesworth is the people— they are friendly and warm. I know that Mom will feel welcomed and will enjoy having all the comforts of home right at her fingertips.”

The senior living community, which is celebrating 25 years of affordability, value and choice, continues to expand its services to fit each resident’s wants and needs. “We want to give the residents the full life that they have been accustomed to, and we do that through our many services,” says Kessel.

Amid the 12-acre campus, services surpass the comforts of home—from doormen and concierges to limousine transportation. In addition, residents

can choose from a full slate of activities, such as computer classes, lectures, and garden and book clubs, as well as live entertainment. “There are opportunities to stretch their minds. They really enjoy the entertainment, but they want to be challenged, as well,” Kessel notes. Residents, as well as their families, have access to the services. “We have guest apartments for residents’ families, and limos will pick them up at the airport,” Kessel says.

The Gatesworth opened with 221 apartments; and its continued popularity recently spurred a west wing expansion, bringing the total number of apartments to 300. One- and two-bedroom floor plans, as well as other apartment sizes and layouts, are available with no large down payments required. Eleanor Jablonow, who moved into The Gatesworth with her husband in August, says the staff has covered every detail.

“I asked for a ceiling fan in my bedroom and they took care of it—there wasn’t anything I asked for that I didn’t get. I couldn’t be more delighted with my new home.” Other residents also are happy to trade the struggles of home ownership for The Gatesworth’s accommodating staff. ‘Tippy’ Tipton says he feels right at home.

“Everybody’s friendly and I feel very comfortable here—it’s been an easy transition.”

Academic Nonprofits

Making the Grade

Local nonprofits are giving underserved St. Louis students a leg up on the college competition. “Students in low-income families and at underperforming schools are not getting the preparation they need for college, so we are devoting resources to it,” says College Bound executive director Lisa Zarin.

College Bound, as well as Wyman Center and Springboard, are three nonprofits helping set up kids for academic success.

To prepare students for higher education, College Bound offers tutoring, connections to internships and programs such as early college awareness, which ensures kids are taking and succeeding in university-level prep courses.

“When we started College Bound, we found students hadn’t taken the proper courses, so they weren’t prepared for college and able to tackle the rigor. Even courses like advanced calculus were watered down, so they couldn’t pass math tests for college,” Zarin says. So the nonprofit began offering tutoring with Washington University students at its facility and on the college’s campus. Beyond higher learning, College Bound provides connections to internships and job shadowing at local companies for real-world career experience, and offers a month-long math, science and criticalthinking program at Saint Louis University. These types of skills are critical for the workforce, Zarin notes.

College Bound’s programs, which annually help 1,500 students at 39 schools, have led to significant results. The organization’s students have graduated from college at a rate of 75 percent, which is equivalent to students from the highest income households and more than the national average of 56 percent. Typically, about 9 percent of low-income students graduate from a university. In addition, several students have gone on to full-time careers with the companies they were connected with through College Bound internships and job shadowing.

Wyman Center has produced similar success, with 96 percent entering college or career school directly following high school and graduating from college at a rate of 73 percent. At the center, two core programs—the teen leadership program and the teen outreach program—aid students in high school and college. Students participate in a month-long leadership program and receive academic support throughout the school year, including college prep that focuses on leadership, motivation and communication. Participants also are exposed to a wide array of horizon-broadening experiences in order to find a possible future career.

“We help them discover constructive and positive

things that suit them,” says president Dave Hilliard.

A portion of the teen outreach program also requires students to create and complete a 10-hour service learning project each semester.

“Service to others is critically important,” Hilliard notes. “It builds a sense of community and responsibility to give back to the community that supports us.” In addition, Wyman provides families with college support, from touring campuses nationwide to submitting applications and leveraging scholarships. Through partnerships with schools, including Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield and Indiana University in Bloomington, the organization connects students to more affordable higher education.

“They graduate from college with very little debt,” Hilliard notes.

Springboard is another local organization ensuring underserved kids are ready for today’s

higher education and career demands. The organization’s ‘teaching artists’—from highly trained storytellers and dancers to visual artists—go into local grade school classrooms to lead children in using arts, culture, science and technology to make connections to their academic curriculum.

For example, Springboard’s drama workshops aim to improve reading comprehension and conflict resolution, and its dance performances incorporate connections to math through movements, says executive director Sheroo Mukhtiar. “What’s unique about Springboard programs is that we encourage students to be part of the learning—it’s not just a lecture.”

The programs, which are aligned with Missouri grade level and national academic standards, are designed to develop and support creative and critical thinking in children and teachers.” The organization works with 40,000 students in 150 schools at educational institutions and community venues, with a goal to extend to summer camps and after-school programs. “We work with teachers in schools based on their needs,” Mukhtiar says. While the organization does not provide individual sessions for students, parents can request its teaching artists come to their children’s schools. “Students living in underserved communities, where schools historically have not been able to provide access to cutting-edge skills, need the resources like the ones offered by Springboard more than ever.”

u p p O rt d O g s, i n c . i s a n a t i o n a l n o n p ro f i t o rga n i za tion that offers dignity, hope and independence by providing highly skilled assistance dogs to individuals with disabilities, and uniquely trained therapy dogs to serve the community. the organization was founded to place assistance dogs, at no cost, with individuals with mobility-related needs. through the years, the scope has expanded to include service dogs for mentally and/or physically disabled children,

hearing dogs for the deaf or hard of hearing and psychiatric service dogs for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. in addition, the tOucH (therapy Of unique canine Helpers) program trains and certifies volunteers and their dogs to provide pet-assisted therapy visits at health care facilities, while the paws for reading program places dogs in elementary classrooms to encourage reading, writing and social skills.

HISTORY: previously known as support dogs for the Handicapped, the 501(c)3 organization was founded in 1981 in columbus, Ohio, by sandy Maze, who suffered from muscular dystrophy. the

st. Louis chapter was formed in 1983, and became the national headquarters in 1985.

COMMUNITY IMPACT: in 2011, support dogs’ tOucH program visited 75,000 adults and children in the st. Louis metro area, with teams making stops at more than 75 facilities, including siteman cancer center and st. Louis children’s Hospital. the paws for reading program visited more than 15 schools, in addition to city and county libraries. More than 500 volunteers help with events, raise puppies for assistance dogs and participate in pet therapy programs. the united Way of greater st. Louis-member organization also offers public obedience classes and educational presentations.

WHAT/WHEN/WHERE: More than 75 percent of support dogs’ annual budget comes from public and private donations. the nonprofit organizes two major fundraisers annually: the tacky ball black tie gala in March and a trivia night and silent auction in august.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED: for more information, call 997-2325 or visit supportdogs.org.

ON THE BOARD: ANGIE FINK as the owner of three dogs, angie fink understands how canines can make a difference in people’s lives. Looking for an opportunity to contribute in the community, fink was able to combine that love with her nonprofit business background when she joined the board of support dogs in July 2010. “the dogs we send out into the community touch so many people’s lives. everything we do is geared toward helping people who often are underserved or might not otherwise have those opportunities,” she says. at the beginning of this year, fink, who is a cpa with uHY LLp, became board president. she and the board work closely with executive director bill dahlkamp, development director ann Weinerth and the rest of the staff to focus on the organization’s efforts and move forward in its goals. With services in high demand, fink points to the need for increased funding to expand support dogs’ capabilities. “right now we’re limited by our facility’s size with how many dogs we can employ into the community on an annual basis. We want to find ways to grow the programs and make more dogs available to the community.” for the physically disabled who rely on dogs to improve the quality of their lives, the children who gain confidence in their reading abilities after reading to nonjudgmental canines, or the elderly in nursing homes who get a chance to spend time with a furry friend, fink recognizes the impact of support dogs. “We reach an incredible number of people, and we want to do more.”

The gift was a result of Woodard’s challenge to her students to collect 1,000 things. When they reached 1,000, they decided to keep going. By the end of the fundraising, they collected more than 2,500 dimes! Bales is suffering from a long-term illness resulting from brain injury and the money will be put toward his ongoing health expenses.

WHO WHAT WEAR bit by bit while traveling to uganda in 2007, kallie Dovel met women making beads out of recycled paper, but who lacked a plan to market and sell them. after finishing school, Dovel brought on a few friends, and together, they decided to do more than sell these pretty trinkets: they wanted to conquer poverty in northern africa. no small feat, the girls looked to other organizations and decided to hire on six women and began 31bits, a development program to not only give north african women a sustainable income but holistic care and education. the program is a stepping stone to learn business experience and gain an amount of money so that the women can ‘graduate’ and start small businesses on their own. the program now employs 99 women who are overcoming poverty and finding joy and liberation. “to see the power of these ladies providing for themselves in a culture where women don’t have much of a say — to see that change is incredible.”

one of the most popular shirt styles for fall is the peter pan-collared shirt. a look that’s popular with celebrities like alexa chung and Rachel bilson, it’s a little sweet, a little preppy and definitely stylish. but if you’re not quite sure you can commit to the whole shirt, try this charming way to add a ‘little lord Fauntleroy to any simple top, sweater or dress.

Fashion & bEauty SLiP into FaLL i love and live in my ballet flats. but i kept wondering when we would see a new trend emerge when it came to a flat shoe. lo and behold, the smoking slipper. once only belonging to the playboys and cads, this luxe shoe is the newest way to mix comfort with style. the designer who has been spearheading this is charles philip. based in shanghai, he found the inspiration for his shoe from his favorite striped shirt. he had a chinese cobbler make a striped shirt shoe and that was the beginning of his now infamous slippers, which are all lined with his signature blue and white stripes. philip creates his collections by touching upon his favorite elements: the ease of Moroccan babouches, the elegance of the English gentry slipper and the freshness of striped cottons and soft colorful linens. and because philip sees his design as more than just a flash-in-the pan trend, this more sophisticated cousin of the ballet flat is a shoe that will surely stand the test of time.

Q&A

with Michaelenne Klier of Jane Iredale

LIKe It Or NOt, YOUr FAce MAKeS YOUr FIrSt IMPreSSION for you every day. So treat it with the care it deserves. this month, LN spoke with Michaelenne Klier, senior business consultant for Jane Iredale, about why so many dermatologists choose the brand, what exactly a bb cream does, and how to transition to the perfect fall look.

Why are Jane Iredale products sold mainly at dermatologists’ and cosmetic surgeons’ offices, as well as medical spas? Ours is a very clean makeup line and it’s healthy for your skin. there are no binders, fillers, talc or parabens, and a lot of women are sensitive to those ingredients. We use very clean minerals and a lot of antioxidants, as well as certified organic botanicals. the coverage is also phenomenal. the other day, we did makeup on a girl who had really bad hyper-pigmentation. We used our newest product, a bb cream called Glow time, over her entire face. It can camouflage irritation or bruising after procedures or a skin condition. It helps to give confidence to those women who have skin issues.

What do BB creams do, and why are they suddenly becoming so popular? Iredale’s bb cream just launched in July. they started in Asia and europe, and now they’re becoming the biggest craze in the U.S. the bb first stood for ‘blemish balm,’ and later became known as a ‘beauty balm.’ they were originally used after laser treatments to camouflage redness, because they had a lot of moisture content, full coverage and also carried an SPF. A lot of people don’t realize it’s a brand new sector of makeup. A couple of companies are promoting bb creams as a tinted moisturizer, but they’re not. tinted moisturizers are sheer in coverage, and a bb is designed to be full coverage. the trick on ours is you should use very little and you can always build upon it.

Are there any changes women should make in their skin-care routine going into fall? One thing would definitely be using a richer moisturizer. As far as foundation, it switches to more of a dewy look. to achieve that glow, you can use a highlighter. We have one called complete touch cream Highlighter. You pop it on the high point of your cheekbone, and you can also use it on the outside of the face up into the temple and maybe a little bit running down the nose.

In general, you do want to warm up the makeup look a little more.

I like the nude look; but in the winter, it’s adjusting the lip color slightly to a wine or berry color, or a red. You can go a little deeper in color because we get a little paler as the winter goes along, and adjusting the lip and cheek color can make a big difference.

What is your favorite makeup tip to tell clients? People don’t realize that if they’re not using a primer, their makeup isn’t going to stay on as well. Using the right primer will make a big difference. With Iredale, we have two: the first is Absence, which is a cream that sets to a powder. It’s for more oily or acne-prone skin types. And we just launched Smooth Affair, which is for normal or dryer skin. A lot of people think of primers for summer to control oil, but they are still important into fall and winter.

Here’s a sampling of what’s on view at area museums this fall:

Art Museum

2. Laumeier

Sculpture Park

Jonathan Horowitz: My Land/Your Land: Election ’12

Kranzberg Exhibition Series: Juan William Chávez

Through Nov. 11

Oct. 27 through Jan. 20

This multi-part installation exhibition splits CAM’s lobby into red and blue halves, which show ongoing coverage of the election from CNN and FOX News on separate, opposing monitors. Once our nation’s next president has been chosen, either Mitt Romney or Barack Obama’s portrait will be displayed on the wall. My Land/Your Land is an examination of the bipartisan electorate, as well as the impact of mass media and popular culture. Visit camstl.org for more information.

In an exploration of urban abandonment, this exhibition takes over both the park’s indoor galleries and its grounds. The work expands on Chávez’s project, Living Proposal: Pruitt Igoe Bee Sanctuary 2010-2012, contemplating a failed housing project completed in the 1950s on 57 acres in North St. Louis. Outdoors, guests will see the footprint of one of the buildings from the Pruitt-Igoe complex, created from used telephone poles. Indoors, 17 works represent what the complex has now become—a natural safe haven for bees, which is itself now experiencing colony collapse—and encourage dialogue about issues surrounding the land today.

Louis Art Museum

Federico Barocci: Renaissance Master Oct. 21 through Jan. 20.

This exhibition brings together paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist, alongside drawings that were used as preparation for the work. Best known for his exuberant use of color, Barocci is considered one of the most accomplished colorists of his age. The drawings, which were used to help the artist make decisions about poses, lighting, color, expression and gesture, provide insight to his thought process. They range from pen-and-ink sketches to elaborate pastels, and full-sized works that were eventually transferred onto the canvas to serve as the basis for a painting.

Highly Charged Collections Kemp Auto Museum and The Moto Museum Whether you’re a car or motorcycle lover, or just appreciate their form and function, you’re in luck as St. Louis is home to two museums that honor the genius behind these vehicles.

Kemp Auto Museum Over a 30-year period, Fred Kemp amassed a collection of more than 40 rare and classic Mercedes-Benz automobiles. With a desire to display his cars for the enjoyment of the public, the well-known St. Louis home builder formed the nonprofit Fred M. Kemp Foundation, with the intent to open a museum. Unfortunately, Kemp passed away before the museum opened its doors in 2005, but the institution works to carry out his vision today. “Most cities our size don’t have automobile museums, so we’re very blessed to have a place where the public has the opportunity to see some really rare cars,” says executive director Rodger Van Ness.

The 41-car collection is largely composed of

A 1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K at the Kemp Auto Museum

Kemp’s Mercedes, including a 1939 540K, one of only five originally built and once owned by a prominent German during World War II. The Chesterfield museum also boasts a 1931 370S Mannheim Sport, believed to be the only one left in the world, notes Van Ness, a Mercedes collector himself.

In addition to Mercedes, the museum showcases other automobiles such as Rolls Royce, Jaguar and Bentley, and invites local collectors to display their cars for the public. A number of the pieces in the collection have won top awards at the Concours d’Elegance car shows around the country, and the museum hosts its own Concours each year. The museum also has become a popular location for various social events throughout the year, from bat mitzvahs to weddings.

While many patrons of the Kemp Auto Museum are Mercedes and car lovers, Van Ness enjoys seeing how the beauty of the cars has an impact on every visitor. “The cars sit on a special black floor, so when you walk in, it looks like they’re resting on water—it’s rather impressive.”

With a focus on education and preservation of these rare automobiles, Van Ness and the rest of the staff look to keep the museum thriving in the future, just as its namesake hoped. “We’re quietly carrying on the dream for him.”

The Moto Museum Steve Smith, co-founder of the Lawrence Group, has traveled the world in search of motorcycles. He has spent time in people’s homes all over Europe, listening to the personal histories of the bikes he’s about to buy. Once, it took a barge, ocean liner, train and truck to get a motorcycle from Poland to midtown St. Louis, where it now resides in The Moto Museum, which Smith opened to showcase his extensive collection. “I think there’s a stereotype of the motorcyclist as a renegade, rebel biker, but I want to show the broader aspects of motorcycling and its importance in history, business and design.”

Smith’s love for motorcycles began at the age of 14, when he participated in off-road racing through high school and college before his architecture career and life led him down other paths. Fifteen years ago, Smith rekindled his affection for motorcycles and racing, and began attending swap meets where he’d “buy some of the old bikes I wish I could have had when I was young,” he explains. Smith has found eBay to be a valuable source for motorcycles from foreign countries, as he focused on collecting rare European bikes that were never imported into the U.S., as well as ones that were innovative in some way. “As an architect, I’m fascinated by the design of motorcycles and how different they each can be, even though they do the same thing. You can see the evolution of technology and design over the years from one bike to the next,” he explains.

In 2000, Smith bought a building in Grand Center to house his growing collection, and in 2005, he purchased the current location of the museum, with the intent to open a motorcycle

exhibition. The Moto Museum opened in April 2007, with the connected Triumph Grill launching the next year in response to interest in the museum as event space.

The museum has about 80 of Smith’s estimated 110 bikes on display, along with a few loaners.

The oldest is from 1914, and many feature unique characteristics such as no brakes, no seats, or in the case of a 1927 Czech Bohmerland bike, three

seats in a row.

While the museum has attracted visitors from around the world, as well as celebrities such as Dan Aykroyd and Jay Leno, Smith hopes he can continue to raise the stature of his collection as an asset for St. Louis and the sport. “Motorcycling is about adventure and I’ve been on many adventures the last 15 years. It’s exhilarating, and I want to share that.”

Life on La Bella Vita An Italian Foodie Adventure

A

LL TRIPS TO ITALY ARE EATING TRIPS, AREN’T THEY? IT WAS going to be a leisurely time on La Bella Vita, a barge floating through the countryside Cole Porter wrote about in Kiss Me, Kate — Mantua, Padua, Venice. The itinerary promised historic buildings and art (some weeks, it’s focused on golfing) but mostly, it was about a slow, indulgent pace.

barges seldom take more than 20 guests, with a good ratio of crew to passengers.

While cabins are quite small, there’s plenty of lounge and sundeck space. La bella Vita’s entire upper deck was open-air for lounging. Aurelio, our dining steward, frequently popped up to offer beverages or a snack.

Gathering near the Venice airport, we were shuttled to the barge, docked in Mantua, the historic seat of the dukes of Gonzaga. the dukes couldn’t have eaten any better than we did that night, with local

dishes like the tortelloni stuffed with pumpkin, and sbrisolona, a crunchy, crumbly cake. Five courses, four wines. We all promised we would walk a lot for the rest of the voyage. And we did, touring in the mornings, returning for three-course lunches of more regional specialties, and lazing on the sundeck to watch the Po river.

One day, we visited a remarkable property, Dominio di bagnoli, near Padua. We thought it was just a winery, but discovered a huge, beautiful farm with a dazzling

We learned a lot on an Eating Italy Food Tour, four hours of tastings and lunch in Testaccio, perhaps Rome’s foodiest neighborhood. Giolitti, our gelato stop, is owned by the fifth generation, and Volpetti, the food shop of dreams, let us taste 30-yearold balsamic vinegar.

Volpetti’s cousin, around the corner, has a casual restaurant serving one of Rome’s two styles of pizza. Their mouthwatering specialty is the daytime pizza, rectangular thick-crust, always sold by the slice. After 7 p.m., wood-burning ovens can be fired up and the crisp, even-thinnerthan-St.-Louis-style crust pizzas bring Romans in droves to favored spots.

Two final don’t-miss tips: When visiting the Pantheon, go to Tazza D’Oro, a busy coffee bar that’s the gold standard for granita di caffe, frozen coffee served with lashings of whipped cream. Sit on the steps of the piazza’s fountain and people watch.

And be sure to eat at one of the restaurants in the old Jewish Ghetto. The food is a wonderful hybrid of kosher rules and Italian ingredients, its signature dish a crisp, flattened and deep-fried artichoke. The food is among the most exciting finds of Rome.

Just plan on walking a lot.

kitchen garden that left us tasting figs from the tree, admiring handsome chickens, and discussing the vegetables, both familiar and un-, with the gardener. The wines are good, and the winery is open to the public — something European wineries have been much slower to do than American ones. There’s a thousand years of history here, going from monks to the estate’s own private airstrip.

Most of our meals were taken onboard, and our appreciation for Silvia, our chef, grew. The regional dishes kept coming, as though there were a dozen Italian grandmothers in the galley. Surprisingly little pasta, although we enjoyed a delicate lasagna that caused gasps, lightly sweet desserts and more than 20 kinds of cheese.

We spent our last 36 hours in Venice, docked on the Grand Canal, visiting the Rialto Market — full of seafood and vegetables and tourists, but still a living, important part of local food distribution.

A mid-afternoon visit to the terrace of the Danieli Hotel brought a drink and a long, delighted look at the Venetian lagoon and Palladio’s San Giorgio Maggiore.

After the barge, we went to Rome for some freelance eating (and more walking).

Adjusting to a New Sibling

Y

ou’re expecting a second baby.

This should be a breeze. You know what to expect as you recover from childbirth and you’re probably less anxious about how to care for your second child. Yet, bringing home baby No. 2 is much different than bringing home the first.

You’ll be faced with the reaction of your older child. How will she react to being a brother or sister? How will you meet the needs of two children? What can you do to make the adjustment easier for her and for you?

The most important thing to do is to prepare your child for the new sibling well before the baby arrives. Tell her about your pregnancy when you tell your family and friends. Talk realistically about what to expect after the baby is born. Explain that you’ll be tired and the baby will do nothing but eat, sleep, poop and fuss in the very beginning. Be sure that she doesn’t expect you to bring home a playmate or a toy.

Make any necessary preparations, such as moving her to a new bed or new room, weaning, toilet-training or beginning school or child care, as soon as possible before the baby arrives. That way, your older child has ample time to adjust and doesn’t feel resentment that the changes are because of the new baby. If your hospital offers sibling classes, attend them with her.

When your baby arrives, try to have your child visit you and the baby in the hospital. Allow someone else to hold the baby as you give your attention to your older child. Give her a gift from the baby to celebrate the baby’s birth and let her help open the gifts the baby receives.

Children younger than 18 to 24 months often

won’t understand the meaning of a new baby and will not feel threatened. However, as your time becomes divided, they may become jealous and begin to act out. Ignore the acting-out behavior, but reward good behavior with the thing your child craves most: your time and attention.

Children older than 2 but still not of preschool age won’t be happy about sharing your attention.

Encourage your child to help care for the baby.

Have her get the diapers or hand you wipes as you change diapers. Show your child her baby pictures and tell her stories about when she was a baby.

School-aged children sometimes feel jealous about the amount of attention a new baby gets.

Talk to her about the advantages of being older, such as staying up later, being able to play with toys, talk and walk. Give your older child as much time and attention as you can when the baby is asleep or quiet. Remember that it’s OK to ask for help with your baby so you can have time with his big brother or sister.

When friends and family visit, they’ll want to hold the baby. Your older child had her turn as the center of attention, but she won’t remember it.

Tell her about it and include her in the conversation with friends and family when they visit. Be an advocate for your older child and share your attention with her, as well as the new baby.

KIDS heAD LIce AnD PreVenTIon

A Hairy Situation

With fall here, kids are firmly entrenched in their school work, putting their heads together over their assignments and projects—literally. and while this may be good for sharing ideas, sometimes kids share more than just their creativity.

Head lice outbreaks typically occur as kids transmit the pests through close contact. “it is difficult to completely get rid of head lice because when children are exposed for the first time, they often don’t have any itching for the first two to six weeks, leaving a lot of time for lice to spread before parents are able to treat them,” says dr. Kara Mayes of Mercy clinic Family Medicine.

“Lice cannot jump or fly, they only crawl. they are usually transmitted by close contact with the head of an infested individual,” Mayes notes, adding, “Hair length or frequency of hair brushing does not make a difference in lice prevention. children should be taught not to share combs, brushes and hats.”

Making the situation even more difficult is the fact that some lice have developed resistance

to the pesticides and medications used to eradicate them, adds dr. Jennifer Foersterling of ssM Medical group pediatrics. although she agrees that sharing personal items should be discouraged, “direct head-to-head contact is the most common source. Watch your children hug each friend they meet and this will become more evident.” if a child complains of an itchy scalp, parents should look for the pests, which are about the size and shape of sesame seeds. they are most visible behind the ears and at the nape of the neck. nits, the unhatched eggs laid by adult lice, adhere to the hair shaft and look like tiny yellow or white spots. “if parents see live lice on their child’s head, they can treat with over-the-counter lice treatments. the one that is recommended to try first is permethrin (nix),” Mayes says. “parents should follow all of the directions on the package and repeat the treatment in seven to 10 days if live lice are still seen.”

Foersterling adds that parents should contact their child’s physician if the treatment does not

seem to eradicate the infestation. “remember that the parent must use the comb with the kit to remove all nits. it is also important to wash bedding on hot, vacuum upholstered furniture, wash coats, combs and brushes, and check all family members for infestation.”

Most important, both Mayes and Foersterling remind parents that lice are not a sign of poor family hygiene. “do not panic,” Foersterling says.

“Lice are a nuisance; they are not a health threat, and there is likely nothing you could have done to prevent the infestation.”

Gluten Gut-Check

by Connie Mitchell

Gluten-free diets are trendy these days.

And while many in the gluten-free contingent claim the diet helps them lose weight and feel more energetic, only about 1 percent of the U.S. adult population truly is in danger from eating gluten. That small percentage of people suffer from celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that develops in genetically predisposed individuals and is triggered by gluten exposure. “The ensuing inflammatory response inflames and damages the lining and therefore the absorptive ability of the small intestines,” explains Dr. Jeffrey Kreikemeier, a St. Luke’s Hospital gastroenterologist.

“For a very long time it was thought to always start in kids—and that is not the case,” notes Dr. Michele Woodley, a gastroenterologist at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “It is a huge problem in adults, and it has real medical consequences.”

If left untreated, people who have celiac disease may develop severe anemia, osteoporosis and intestinal cancers. Gluten avoidance is the key to managing the disease. The difficulty is that symptoms vary among people and may be mistaken for irritable bowel syndrome, which affects about 10 to 20 percent of the population. “Individuals with celiac disease can be asymptomatic but often have nonspecific symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, weight loss and iron deficiency anemia,” says Dr. Noura

Sharabash, a gastroenterologist with Washington University Physicians.

“Gluten-free diets themselves may not necessarily be healthier than a normal diet for the average person,” Sharabash adds. “Limiting the intake of gluten usually means decreasing the intake of starchy, refined carbohydrates and processed foods and can result in an overall healthier diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meat. It is not necessarily the elimination of gluten that makes the diet healthy for the average person.”

The primary sources of gluten are wheat, barley and rye, although it also hides in a variety of processed foods. People diagnosed with celiac disease are typically referred to a dietitian for help in learning how to avoid gluten entirely. “There are support groups in every town.” Woodley notes.

Simply buying everything labeled ‘gluten-free’ in the grocery store may not be the best tactic, however.

“Often these products have added fat and sugar to try to make up for the missing gluten,” Sharabash says, suggesting a focus on natural ingredients such as fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains.

“It really is not an easy diet, but it is completely doable,” Woodley says. And the good news is that, “if you have celiac disease and you go on a gluten-free diet, you are fine. It is 100 percent effective.”

What do people need to know about radiation therapy for breast Q: cancer?

Imran Zoberi, MD

Washington University Radiation Oncology Center for Advanced Medicine Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital

314-747-2222

wuphysicians.wustl.edu 52

October 5, 2012 {LadueNews.com}

We continue to learn about breast cancer including new knowledge of the genetic basis of how breast cancer starts, what factors make breast cancer more likely to develop, better ways to screen and diagnose breast cancer, and improvements in all aspects of oncologic care.

A major theme in the care of women with early stage breast cancers is that less aggressive therapy to the breast yields equivalent cancer control versus the more aggressive local therapies of the past. Similarly, in radiation oncology we used to recommend radiation to all of the breast tissue that was not removed surgically; typically over a six week course of treatment. Over the past ten years, we learned that many patients can have a portion of their breast treated using accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) - which completes the treatment in one week. APBI involves delivery of high doses of radiation to a specific portion of the breast surrounding the surgical site. There are a number of methods to deliver APBI - some use radioactive material (brachytherapy), while others

use externally generated radiation. We typically consider APBI for patients with small, lymph node negative breast cancers which have often been detected via screening mammography.

However, many women are diagnosed with more advanced disease where the breast cancer is larger or has spread to lymph nodes under the arm (axillary lymph nodes) or both. In this setting, radiation therapy generally involves treating any residual breast tissue, the underlying chest wall, and the lymph node regions around the breast. This is a key component in maximizing the woman’s chances for cure. Historically, this type of radiation therapy would involve significant radiation exposure to the lung, heart (in left-sided cases), and surrounding bone and muscle, such as the shoulder joint. But over the past several years, we have developed new ways to deliver the same, critically important radiation therapy with lesser high-dose radiation exposure to the surrounding body using a variety of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques.

HEALTH & WELLNESS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

It’s OK to Seek Help

cOnsider this: durinG the Past MOnth, about three in every 100 americans experienced ‘serious psychological distress,’ according to the u.s. centers for disease control and Prevention. More than 58 million people per year

seek outpatient medical care for mental disorders. and yet almost 37,000, about 12 in every 100,000 people, take their own lives.

“Mental illnesses are not just mental,” says Joyce Johnston, director of programs at the st. louis chapter of the national alliance on Mental illness (naMi), which is sponsoring national Mental illness awareness Week, Oct. 7 through 13. “they’re biologically based, and they’re very treatable.” despite the ability to identify and treat mental illness, misinformation and a lingering stigma still prevent many people from getting help. “it is not uncommon that symptoms go untreated for many years, often worsening in severity before professional help is sought,” says Patty Morrow, a licensed professional counselor and executive director of Mercy behavioral health services. anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, personality disorders and psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, are among the mental illnesses that can destroy lives if left untreated. however, there is always hope. “Many people live symptom-free when under the proper care and treatment. for that reason, early intervention is very important,” Morrow says. “Often, loved ones are instrumental in encouraging others to seek care for mental health conditions.”

Johnston notes that naMi st. louis offers a helpline, support groups and classes for

individuals who have mental illness, as well as for their loved ones and caretakers. “a person doesn’t have to be in treatment. if a family member feels that they need a class, then sometimes they come to us because a family member is not in treatment and they’re having struggles,” she says. “families need to be as involved as possible in their ill family member’s care, and they need the education and support in order to get through these challenges.” if an individual threatens to harm himself or someone else, immediate intervention is needed. the st. louis area crisis intervention team is composed of specially trained law-enforcement officers from the general patrol division who work in cooperation with mental health professionals to manage crisis situations and direct the individual to mental health care and resources.

“Often it is the combination of psychopharmacology or medication, therapeutic interventions and the development of enhanced support systems that have the best outcomes,” Morrow says.

“Medications have advanced significantly, greatly reducing side-effect profiles. advancements in therapeutic approaches include specialized treatments for anxiety disorders, dialectical behavioral therapy for personality disorders.” no disease should go untreated until it’s too late. become aware and get help if mental illness affects you or someone you love.

Baughman (1923-2003) was a pioneer in modern design and one of the leading furniture designers of the second half of the 20th century. His uniquely American designs were forward-thinking, distinctive and unpretentious.

Pepper is a fan of Roy Lichtenstein, whose signed and numbered color screen print on loan from Kodner Gallery is on display.

Simply lovely. That’s how Dreste describes the sphere-shaped light fixture covered in a floral pattern made from capiz shells. It adds just the right organic note to her breakfast room design.

Autumn Night The Perfect

Roasting S’mores, watching the changing of the leaves, or even a hayride…fall provides a perfect opportunity for changes in our daily routine. With that in mind, we asked some of St. Louis’ cultural leaders about their ideas for the perfect autumn evening.

Lisa Melandri Director, Contemporary Art Museum

“An excellent fall evening would find me exploring all the fantastic amenities of my new neighborhood, Tower Grove. My husband, Jordan, and I would start out strolling Tower Grove Park, taking in the turning leaves and autumnal colors (a rare sight to savor, as we are California transplants). Wandering into the Shaw neighborhood, we’d stop at Sasha’s and relax in the garden with a good glass of wine.

After that, we’d make our way to Local Harvest Cafe for one of their incredible seasonal dishes. We’d end the evening with a concert at the Luminary Center for the Arts.”

Paul Reuter Executive Director, The Sheldon

“The important thing for me is to slow down and have time for conversation. So I enjoy dinner with friends at a restaurant like Café Provencal in Kirkwood, Café Natasha’s on South Grand, or Boogaloo’s in Maplewood.

Or take a short trip to Montelle Winery in Augusta and watch the sun set while looking out over the beautiful Missouri River valley—especially great in the fall. Or dessert is always good—at places like The Fountain on Locust, Gelateria Del Leone on South Grand, or Cyrano’s in Webster Groves.”

Michael Uthoff Artistic and Executive Director, Dance St. Louis

“On a perfect evening, Flor and I would arrange to have dinner at Niche or Herbie’s and proceed to arrange a seating at a performance of Jazz at the Bistro. If nothing was going on, we would head downtown and experience some Blues on Broadway. Weather permitting, we would then head to the Central West End, where I would purchase a good cigar and she a glass of wine at Brennan’s, sit outside and smoke surrounded by the comings and goings of pedestrians and Kevin Brennan and his crew.”

Steven Woolf Artistic Director, The Repertory Theatre

“Fall is my favorite season. I love looking at the changing colors of the trees in Forest Park, which is my front lawn. It’s perfect to watch all the season changes while sipping coffee, tea or hot apple cider.

“Dinner at Brasserie by Niche has the most amazing bread and butter to start, as well as some brilliant appetizers. I’m particularly fond of the chicken entrée—simply astounding.

HE PEABODY OPERA HOUSE IS CELEBRATING THE FIRST anniversary of its reopening with an exciting new season of Tony-winning Broadway shows, Grammy-winning pop artists and live comedy.

Are there any special surprises planned for the first anniversary of the reopening? We’re celebrating by introducing the exciting second season. We all look back with a lot of pride with what last year has brought us. We hosted the nation’s three ‘first ladies’—queen of TV, Oprah; queen of soul, Aretha Franklin; and real First Lady, Michelle Obama—among a variety of other amazing artists and shows.

Describe the shows in the new season. Our Broadway shows kick off Nov. 8 to 17 with the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, starring the 85th anniversary tour of the Rockettes. It’s a real feather in the cap of the Peabody to host the first of four national tour dates of the show. The size and scale of the production is something people are going to be talking about for a really long time. Then the St. Louis premiere of the musical Flashdance will be from Jan. 8 to 13. It’s the movie coming to life on stage with memorable songs like What a Feeling, Maniac and Gloria. From March 21 to 23, we have A Chorus Line. The intimacy and sound design of the Peabody will be great for this show, which you really want to immerse yourself in. We also will have Peter Pan—and there are not too many family titles better than this one. It will be the story you know and love, with the acclaimed Cathy Rigby starring in this family favorite.

What are some of the standout shows this year? In addition to the Broadway shows, we have some unique concerts coming, including Norah Jones—imagine her voice and her piano in the Peabody; a very popular and talented band, The Script; and a unique 3D production by cult-favorite, Primus. In addition, comedian Kathleen Madigan is coming on the heels of a great amount of successful comedy shows in our first season—from Daniel Tosh to Lewis Black.

How do you choose the shows that come to the Peabody’s stage? Some of it is dictated by what artists are on tour at the time, and what Broadway decides to put on the road each year. We have a mission programmingwise about putting diversity in the season. We strive to get the right mix of shows at the right time on the calendar.

How have audiences reacted to the past year’s shows since the reopening? We chose a wide range of shows because we wanted to attract a variety of audiences. We are really proud of that range because we gave just about every part of the St. Louis audience a reason to come down. St. Louis has responded by coming back in huge numbers.

What is it about the Peabody’s atmosphere that makes for a special experience? It’s three things: a great building, an unforgettable sight and sound experience and a caring staff. The Peabody is an amazing building at almost 80 years old with so much history, tradition and legacy.

And the sight lines and quality of sound make this a live experience that is really second to none. That’s something that brings people back.

SoHo Restaurant & Lounge

Southern Hospitality SOHO RESTAURANT & LOUNGE SEEMS A BIT of a puzzle at first glance. The restaurant serves up Southern-style comfort food, while the adjacent lounge dishes out an urban, DJ-driven nightlife experience — not exactly an intuitive combination. The dining room was modern and club-like with a spare, almost stark feel. The interior was done in shades of white, black and gray, with a few black and white photos of various landmarks adorning the walls. There were other slightly odd touches, as well, such as the bottle service list on the table, in addition to the dinner menu. But what SoHo (an abbreviation for Southern Hospitality) might have lacked in warm decor and cozy accoutrements, it more than made up for in down-home tasty goodness.

Bread service consisted of some sweet cornbread fritters served with honey butter to nosh on while perusing the menu —a tasty, unique touch that signaled the deliciousness that was to come.

The appetizer list was chock-full of all manner of comforting small plates, from Fried Green Tomatoes ($6) to Jumbo Fried Shrimp ($10). We went with one of our all-time favorites, Fried Okra ($5). The okra were crisp and fried in a tempura-esque beer batter and served with some spicy mayo for dipping purposes.

With appetites primed, we hit the entree selections for some BBQ Shrimp & Grits ($16) and an order of Country Fried Steak ($12). The bowlful of rich, cheesy grits came topped with a sweet BBQ sauce and crumbled bacon, and was replete with plenty of plump, tender shrimp. The cube steak was pan-fried and smothered with a

rich milk gravy. On the side was a hearty serving of smooth country-style mashed potatoes and some buttery sauteed green beans. We’ve had plenty of fried steaks that came out tough and leathery, but this version was fairly tender with just a bit of chewiness.

We finished up with a slice of the Sweet Potato Cheesecake ($6). It was billed as a combo of cheesecake and sweet potato pie, but taste-wise it was more reminiscent of pumpkin pie, though it definitely had the creamy consistency of a cheesecake.

All of our portions were plentiful, in true comfort food fashion, and the prices were exceptionally reasonable. The SoHo menu also featured a small selection of classic sandwiches.

We plan on trying the delectable-sounding Grown Up Grilled Cheese Sandwich ($8), with three cheeses and slices of Granny Smith apples, next time around. With all of that good Southern fare, we were surprised that certain go-to favorites didn’t make the cut. We’d love to see a gumbo, fried chicken or maybe some buttermilk biscuits make it onto the next menu lineup.

During our visit, the lounge wasn’t hopping and so the dining room was fairly silent. There is some overlap between the lounge and restaurant schedules, though, and we’d be interested to see if the two worlds collide when the DJs start up.

All in all, SoHo makes for a tasty addition to the up-and-coming Grove neighborhood.

Hungry for Fall?

here’s finally a chill in the air, signaling that fall is upon us. In addition to better weather and some glorious foliage, the shift in seasons also brings a changing of the menu at many local eateries. Here are a few highlights of what’s on the bill of fare at some area restaurants this autumn: Harvest, Richmond Heights. Chef Nick Miller’s lamb trio will feature a pot pie with lamb shoulder and root vegetables, and a lamb chop with celery puree and compressed celery, among other delectables. There will be a butternut squash stuffed with braised pork belly, and a new appetizer of wagyu beef chips, pressed thin and fried in a tempura batter, then served with kim chi and a cilantro emulsion.

The Crossing, Clayton. Jim Fiala took a trip to Italy last year, and his menus have been benefiting from his globe-hopping ever since. This fall at The Crossing, he’ll be introducing a roasted mushroom

agnolotti with sage brown butter, a stuffed pasta he tried in Italy’s Piedmont region.

Morton’s The Steakhouse, Clayton. In addition to a new 12-ounce prime New York strip steak and a steak-and-lobster entree, Morton’s will be offering steak tacos, tuna tacos, prosciuttowrapped mozzarella and New Orleans-style jumbo shrimp on its menu this fall.

Eleven Eleven Mississippi, Lafayette Square.

Proprietors Paul and Wendy Hamilton are putting forth some fall-inspired plates. Under starters, look for apple-braised pork belly with swiss chard, baby turnips and sage-cider gastrique. There will be a new pizza choice —smoked duck with figalmond, basil, roasted pears and fontina. And the entree list will now include a marsala-braised rabbit hindquarter with yukon gold gnocchi, butter nut squash and pancetta-sage cream.

as hickory-smoked haddock brandade, stuffed cabbage rolls, peat-smoked Amish chicken, pork cheek with butter turnip puree and a chicken tikka masala curry dish.

Herbie’s Vintage ‘72, Central West End. This venerable CWE spot just introduced a tasty seasonal duo to its menu. The bacon-wrapped quail is stuffed with wild mushroom bread pudding, and paired with some grilled asparagus and a blackberry gastrique. The braised beef short rib comes with horseradish whipped potatoes, green beans, a reduction of Schlafly APA and tobacco onions.

Taste By Niche, Central West End. Chef Matthew Daughaday is whipping up several new menu adds at Taste, like Moroccan Pastrami-roasted patty pan and zucchini squash with chickpeas, harissa and mint served with cubed pastrami beef tongue--and a warm mushroom salad, which includes sauteed oyster, shittake and hon shemji mushrooms, roasted grapes, hearts of palm, frisse and a walnut vinaigrette, with bacon-fat toasted bread and a warm charred leek and goat cheese flan topped with walnuts and thyme.

Robust, Webster Groves. Chef Joe Hemp will be rolling out a couple of new, locally sourced dishes this fall. Look for a pork loin with roasted mushrooms, parsnip puree and bourbon caramel and a chicken breast from Double Star Farms, augmented with a roasted red pepper and almond pesto on braised Swiss chard with smoked guanciale and wheat berries.

M o s a i c M o d e r n F u s i o n Re s t a u r a n t , Downtown, Des Peres. The two Mosaic locations are serving up some new seasonal tastes. For entrees, there’s the sustainable Chilean sea bass and a truffle rosemary chicken. As far as small plates, look for two new cold tapas, Marcoot Farms fresh mozzarella salad and a candied tomato and goat cheese flatbread. Under the hot tapas, there’s now a roasted grass-fed bone marrow.

Balaban’s Wine Cellar & Tapas Bar, Chesterfield. Balaban’s chef Ben MacArthur has several new artisan purveyors he’s taking advantage of, including pork from area favorite Geisert Farms, which is being used for his grilled pork chops, featuring a peach and basil chutney glaze, and garnished with fresh local vegetables and fingerling potatoes. Look for plenty of seasonal soups of the day, like corn chowder and fireroasted tomato.

Tamales

Q: Chef, Last year, my family vacationed in Cancun. The chef there gave me a recipe for making tamales, but every time I make them, they fall apart and are mushy. Can you help me with my tamale recipe?

A: Well, I’ve been working on a new recipe. I’ve made some adjustments to the traditional Mexican tamales, but the flavors are as deep and rich as the history of the tamale, which was first made by the Mayas and Aztecs more than 10,000 years ago.

Recipe:

For tamales:

5 lbs. short ribs 1 carrot, diced

8 c Maseca tamales mix

1 celery stalk, diced

2 c warm water

1/2 red onion, chopped

1 t baking soda

8 oz. fresh ginger, minced

1 T canola oil

2 T sugar 2 1/2 c mirin (sweet rice wine) 2 1/2 c sake 2 1/2 c soy sauce 1 qt. beef stock 3 T roux

12 fresh dried tobacco leaves (cut in half to make 24 pieces, soaked twice in warm water for 20 minutes each) or 24 corn husks (soaked in warm water for 2 hours, replacing water as needed to keep warm)

Directions: To prepare ribs: Sear ribs in hot pan and place in braising pan. Add vegetables, and blend together sugar and remaining wet ingredients, and pour over ribs. Cook in a 250-degree oven for three hours or until meat is tender and falling off the bone. Remove meet from bone and shred. Place in bowl.

Strain 4 cups of the braising liquid and heat to a slow boil. Whisk in the 3 tablespoons of roux and let thicken. Add reduced liquid to shredded short rib and reserve at room temperature.

To prepare tamales: Combine the Maseca mix with baking soda thoroughly before adding the water and oil. Blend ingredients together until they form a nice ball of dough. You may need to adjust water, depending on room temperature. Let rest for 30 minutes.

Making your tamales: Portion the dough into pieces (the size of a large lemon), creating a pocket to put about a tablespoon of the short rib mix into the center of the masa dough. As you are forming the masa around you, begin to shape it into a flattened egg shape.

Place each piece into a softened corn husk and fold the leaf around the dough. Form all the tamales and place into steamer basket over hot, steaming water. Cover and let steam for about 10 to 12 minutes. When done, the masa will have the consistency of moist corn bread.

I wrap my tamales in tobacco leaves and steam them over a nice dark Mexican beer like Negra Modelo. The addition of the tobacco and beer will give more depth to an already great dish. A warning: Using tobacco in this manner can be hazardous to your health for the same reason as smoking.

Unreliable and second-hand gossip from around the world* PAM ANDERSON AND KIRSTIE ALLEY

It seems the ladies are playing the diva card big-time on the new season of Dancing with the Stars. Before an early exit, Pam demanded an almost-impossible-to-find Australian coconut water be stocked in her dressing room at all times. Meanwhile, Kirstie will not eat the catered food provided and is insisting that all her meals be organic. Aww, that’s sweet. They’re taking the word ‘Stars‘ literally.

NICKI MINAJ Well it has been quite a year for the pop star-turned TV star-turned entrepreneur.

She has had multiple chart-topping hits, she’s the newest judge on American Idol and she just released her own fragrance.

Now the word on the street is that the curvaceous rapper is getting her own reality show. You’d think she’d be happy with all of these accomplishments in such a short time; but until she checks ‘direct a feature film’ and ‘run for office’ off her to-do list, she will not be satisfied.

TOM CRUISE The Mission Impossible actor recently opened up in an interview about now being allowed to visit his daughter. Ex-wife Katie Holmes currently has sole custody of the tot and apparently wants to keep it that way, as she doesn’t approve of certain aspects of Tom’s lifestyle. I could go into specifics, but I’m afraid to.

FOOT LOCKER An apparent joke that the NFL hired stripedshirted Foot Locker employees as their replacement refs in the wake of a series of terrible calls, became an actual suspicion. In response, Foot Locker issued a statement, denying the accusation and maintaining that all of their employees were accounted for during the weekend in question. That just seems like a waste of breath. Of course, the NFL did not use Foot Locker employees as replacement refs. Foot Locker workers would have made some decent calls. *so don’t quote me.

(B)limey T HE OTHER DAY, I WAS PICKING up various children from various schools to deposit them in various locations. I noticed Cranky waving to a freckle-faced boy, who smiled and waved back. Who is that?, I asked, trying to sound uninterested.

Oh, he is the funniest ginger in our class. Huh. He’s not a redhead, he’s a ginger.

Thank you, Harry Potter. Apparently, a new kind of British invasion is happening.

Do you watch PBS? Do you have an odd fascination with Robert Pattinson or likelier still, Tom Hardy? Do you read the Herald-Tribune online?

When you’re on the highway, are you headed ‘downton?’ Suddenly, Cranky’s friend isn’t rude, she’s cheeky. My college-aged babysitter informed me she spent last weekend getting chatted up by guys at a fraternity party. What is happening?

We all knew ‘that girl’ — junior year of college, who had just returned from a semester abroad in London. She had the vaguest whisper of an accent (picture Madonna circa 1990). She would say as we were climbing the four flights of stairs to our dorm room, I can’t believe there’s no lift to our flat. Or after class, Maybe tonight we should go for an American beer. And you wanted to punch her in the face — and you may or may not have shouted after one too many ‘American beers,’ You’re not British! I mean, the kid who just got back from Munich isn’t pronouncing his ‘W’ like ‘V’s and saying ‘uber’ all the time. Jeez.

So what’s different now? Sure, there’s Downton Abbey and The Tudors, but I think there is more at work here. First of all, teenagers these days have the attention span of a rabid flea. Secondly, words get old fast, especially slang. The expiration date — oh, I’m sorry, the ‘sell-by’ date of a trendy word — is basically the minute the parents get hold of it. So the second I say something is phat, it’s over. I get the eye-roll and the What is it, 2008? look. And just like that, the word is gone. Nobody is psyched for the movie, they’re keen on it. When Cranky is feeling helpful, she does the washing up.

Well, at least I have my answer. If I want my kids to stop sounding like they are freshmen at Hogwarts, I need to get on the double-decker bus and chime in. Bob’s your uncle. I made you blokes bangers and mash. Although, I need to think this through. Right now, this Anglophilia is the devil I know, could something worse be waiting in the wings? Bollocks.

THEATER REVIEW

Looper

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson

RATING: 7 out of 10

I

USUALLY HAVE ONE OF two possible complaints with time-travel movies: 1) They either make no sense (How can John Conner send his own father back in time to conceive him?) Or 2) They are so overly complicated, you don’t figure out they don’t make sense until weeks later. While this latest time-travel movie isn’t perfect, it is a thought- provoking, intelligent story with heart.

And now it’s time to talk about a little something called ‘willing suspension of disbelief.’ In the future, there is time travel; however, it is illegal and the only people who use it are the darkest of criminal forces. Because bodies are hard to make disappear in the future, targets for assassination are transported back in time where a waiting hit man, called a looper, is there, ready to be dispatched. Now, here’s the tricky part: At some point in a looper’s career, the criminal organization decides to retire him.

They do this by sending the same looper from 30 years in the future back in time, and the young looper assassinates his future self. Here’s the part where I say, just go with it.

Everything is going along swimmingly for Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) until — guess what — his older self (Bruce Willis) appears. Young Joe’s momentary hesitation gives older Joe the opening he needs to escape. Everyone is trying to kill older Joe, especially young Joe, and if I go any deeper, my head will explode. If you are a fan of the genre, this is an entertaining, well-acted movie, just don’t think too hard about the set up.

COLLEGE DAZE RATING: 7 out of 10

R

OMANTIC COMEDIES that go against formula are always risky. As audience members, we have certain expectations in the boy-meetsgirl world of cinema. This film is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Yes, it’s romantic; and yes, it’s funny, but it’s also a layered, thoughtful look at the meaning of coming-of-age.

Jesse Fisher (Josh Radnor) is a stuck-in-a-rut 30-something admissions director at a New York City college. When his favorite college professor, Peter Hoberg (Richard Jenkins), invites him to his retirement party, Jesse immediately heads back to what I am assuming is Ohio Wesleyan University to attend the dinner and get a much-needed break. Almost immediately, he meets Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), a college sophomore reveling in her youth. They instantly click, and when Jesse returns to Manhattan, they begin a wildly romantic letter-writing friendship—as Zibby says, it’s all very 17th century.

When Jesse returns to Ohio to see her, it is clear Zibby is ready to take the romance to the next level as Jesse, 16 years her senior, wrestles with the obvious morality issues inherent in the situation.

I have to say I found this movie entertaining, if not mindblowing. Radnor and Olsen have terrific chemistry and are extremely likeable actors. The characters all either idealize or demonize college years, and in the end, realize that the true experience is somewhere in between.

STORY: Andrew Jackson, America’s seventh president (1829-37), was not born into the landed gentry. Quite the opposite, Jackson endured a harsh life growing up on the Western frontier from the time of his birth in 1767. Orphaned at age 14, he struck out on his own with a fervent hatred of the British and a burning desire to take land away from Native Americans for the benefit of European immigrants.

Jackson eschewed the way of politics in Washington, D.C., and carved his own career as a populist and the people’s choice.

Jackson lived his complicated life on his terms, marrying a woman not yet divorced from her first husband, becoming wealthy as a slave owner and founding the Democratic Party. Now, in the 21st century, he is the subject of a most unlikely musical.

HIGHLIGHTS: New Line artistic director Scott Miller’s choice of John Sparger for the lead role is shrewd and pays off handsome dividends.

Sparger has the lean, hungry look of a frontiersman, as well as the charismatic style that Jackson undoubtedly possessed. He explodes onto the stage leading the boisterous, infectious anthem, Populism, Yea, Yea!, that opens the show. It’s a perfectly exuberant expression to introduce the audience to Jackson’s quest to include the people in government’s decision-making processes.

Amy Kelly provides humorous moments as a wheelchair-bound historian commenting feverishly on the early-day ‘rock star’s’ appeal to the common folk and his brushes with authority. Historical figures such as Henry Clay (Nicholas Kelly), John Calhoun (BC Stands), John Quincy Adams (Zachary Allen Farmer), Chief Black Fox (Farmer), James Monroe (Mike Dowdy) and Martin Van Buren (Brian Claussen) frequent the proceedings, including a probing and amusing number called The Corrupt Bargain, where congressional leaders wrest the presidency of 1824 from Jackson’s popular vote and instead install John Adams’ son as the new president.

Taylor Pietz plays Jackson’s beloved wife, Rachel, who just happened to be married when she met and married him, leading to eventual charges of bigamy that threatened Jackson’s career.

RATING: A 4 on a scale of 1-to-5.

GAME ON!

I

N THE HISTORY OF ST. LOUIS BASKETBALL players in the NBA, David Lee takes a backseat to very few. Ed Macauley, Bill Bradley and Jo Jo White are the only players from our area who have accomplished more than Lee. He is one of our town’s unsung great professional athletes. Perhaps it’s because he wasn’t on a state champion team at Chaminade. Or maybe it was because he played his college basketball at Florida. Or maybe it’s because he’s low-key kid who doesn’t toot his own horn. However, consider this, on April 2, 2010, Lee exploded for 37 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists against the Golden State Warriors. Lee became the first player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1976 to record at least 35 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists in one game.

Lee is a special talent. That’s why the Warriors

signed him to an $80 million contract last year. He is one of the few players in the NBA who actually score more as professionals than as collegians.

Every season, he is one of the league leaders in double doubles (that’s double figures in points and rebounds in the same game). Last season was one of Lee’s best. He averaged 20 points and almost 10 rebounds per game while shooting 50 percent from the field.

Lee’s always had two wonderful qualities to his game. He was blessed with a tremendous vertical jump. He won the slam-dunk contest at the McDonald’s All-American game with a fantastic dunk, where he took off his jersey while he was in the air. He honed that vertical jump with a lot training sessions at Hammer Bodies. He also has developed his ball skills. He can handle it and

pass it as well as any power forward in the league.

Lee has worked with trainer and former Webster Groves star Drew Hanlen to develop those skills.

I caught up with David after he recently completed a training session with Drew.

How do you get better than 20 points and 10 rebounds a game? You can get a lot better.

You can average 25 and 15. You can also be a more efficient 20 and 10. The biggest thing we have worked are my weaknesses offensively and how I can improve ball-handling and shooting, and a lot of my stuff comes down to footwork.

When did you know that that you were different than most kids? I think it was mid-way through high school. I thought I had a chance to be a pretty good college player. That was always my goal. I don’t think anybody thinks about being a professional player. It just seems so far-fetched with the thousands of kids playing basketball, to think you could be one of the 400 in the league.

Weren’t you blessed with vertical jump? Yeah, jumping was always something I could do. I am losing it now. (Lee is 29 and he is not really losing it). I am trying my best to keep it. It was something that came naturally. I didn’t do a whole lot of leg workouts or stuff like that.

How is it that you average more points in the NBA than you did in college? Some guys are like that. I have come out of my shell in the NBA and had some opportunities to be more aggressive offensively. I think my game is more suited to the NBA than to college. I have worked on my game a lot — working on my jump shot and becoming more multi-faceted.

What was your awe moment in the NBA? My second game as a professional: I played against Dirk Nowitzki. He was one of the guys I really admired. I scored 15 or 16 points — I held my own. I knew then I was one of the luckiest guys in the world.

Do you ever say to yourself, I can’t believe that this happened to me? I am one of those guys who is trying to get better. I won’t be able to truly enjoy it until it’s all over. Hopefully, that won’t be for a while. It’s still amazing to think I have gone from a pretty good high school player, to a college player, to an NBA All-Star, to captain of a major franchise who will hopefully make the playoffs this year. It’s pretty special to think about it — but I won’t be able to enjoy it until it’s all over.

5 THINGS I THINK: 1. Books on tape is one of our greatest inventions. It’s like you’re watching a movie in your head. I couldn’t make a trip without them.

2. The Sicilian Omelet at Chris’s Pancake & Dining is so good, I have to smoke a cigarette after I eat.

3. The character, Alan, on Two and a Half Men, rivals George Costanza as the best actor ever on a sitcom.

4. Frank Haith is one of the nicest college basketball coaches I have ever been around. It will be nice to see some great high school players from our town actually end up at Mizzou again. Mike Anderson didn’t believe in coming to St. Louis unless it was to speak to alumni. He wasn’t very good at that, either.

5. Has Dan Dierdorf ever done an uninteresting interview? Of all the people I interview on TV and radio, he is consistently the most entertaining. He is a treasure for our town.
