LOCAL LIMELIGHT ARTICLE KARA SAVIO | PHOTOGRAPHY JANET WATKINS (FOR JOHN CARNEY)

LOCAL PERSONALITIES MAKING A DIFFERENCE WHILE FULFILLING THEIR PASSIONS

JOHN CARNEY TUNE IN TO JOHN AT KTRS.COM/THE-JOHNCARNEY-SHOW, MONDAY-FRIDAY, 12-3 P.M. For more than 50 years, radio listeners found comfort listening to John Carney behind the mic. His radio career began shortly after his late father and Hall of Fame broadcaster, Jack Carney, advised him not to get into radio. Young, defiant John’s first day on-air as the host of an afternoon country music show outside Denver coincided with his 21st birthday. “I know it sounds like a cliche, but that ‘class clown’ moniker was stamped on just about every report card I brought home, so not paying attention and being a smart ass was actually great job training,” laughs John. John’s first major market radio break came in 1986 when he was teamed up with two legendary broadcasters for an “all-talk format” at St. Louis’ KXOK. He also started a five-year writing stint for comedian Dick Cavett. He’s just so funny. “I read yesterday that there’s a shortage of chicken wings; I believe this could be the country’s biggest crisis,” says John with a straight face. John sees his greatest strength as his ability to make people smile, even during bad times. He’s continued to do it through his own difficult times. “I’ve had five heart surgeries. I used to play in a band and play golf, and I want to get back to those things,” explains John. One thing John hasn’t had to give up is his cooking. “I’ve wrote cookbooks and taught cooking classes, and I still cook a lot at home and for sick friends. If there’s not a mic in front of me, I’m happiest with a pot and a spatula,” he quips. John is happily married with two biological sons, and two girls he and his first wife adopted from China. He also founded Carney’s Kids, which raises money and awareness to improve children’s lives.

The Radio Men

LARRY CONNERS TUNE IN TO LARRY "LIVE" ON KXEN-AM 1010 MONDAY-FRIDAY 1-3 P.M. AND AT LARRYCONNERSUSA.COM. Larry Conners has been broadcasting for 50-plus years, covering every major story in the St. Louis region for 38 of those years. “Radio always interested me, and at age 15 my parents let me board a Greyhound bus from West Texas to Dallas to get licensed to work at a local station,” recalls Larry. He worked his way up to an on-air position before TV news stations were doing live broadcast. “As a news anchor, I never tried to ‘influence’ or to push an agenda. I wanted to remain neutral and tell a good story,” explains Larry. Not many can say they’ve interviewed five US presidents. Larry can. He’s also covered mass murders, state executions, hurricane and tornado scenes, been tasered, and busted a chicken ranch. Larry says, “God has blessed me in many ways in a profession that I love.” But he has other passions as well. A daredevil at heart, Larry rode bulls at age 14 on his granddad’s ranch, served in the Marines, became a commercial pilot, stood on top of the Arch, and flew with the Blue Angels. It seems as though he’s done it all, but something he wishes he could fix is the lack of civility in today’s world. “I believe it’s due to lack of respect, lack of faith, hate...on all sides, and too much judging based on skin color, religion, gender, sexual preference,” explains Larry. “We need to all follow the Golden Rule and love one another as we love ourselves,” he added. But for Larry, life is good. He has two beautiful daughters, adorable grandkids, and a job he loves. “I truly enjoy doing my radio show. I do miss not being “on air” when a major story breaks. I still have that basic fabric of fairness, but now I can also express my opinion...and I do,” Larry says, smiling.

MARC COX TUNE IN TO MARC ON "THE MARC COX MORNING SHOW," NEWSTALK 97.1-FM, 5-9 A.M. “I love to communicate ideas and stories in a unique way that people can relate to. They may not always agree, but they know I’m speaking from the heart, and have the facts to back it up,” says Marc. Marc’s career path almost took a totally different turn. “I seriously considered politics as a career. I was active with the Young Republicans at Miami University,” says Marc. During his sophomore year, he was bitten by the journalism bug and the challenge of getting to the bottom of a story. “My first job was reading the news at WPFB-AM in Ohio but I was drawn into TV because of the supposed glamour of the job. I enjoyed every minute of it even though not much was glamorous,” Marc explains. Marc’s successful career at KMOV-TV spanned 20 years; he’s been with KFTK for 11 years. “I was drawn back to radio because you can be yourself, cover what you want to cover, have fun, and give my opinion along the way,” explains Marc. As a conservative, he’s passionate about where he feels the country is headed. “It’s the belief of some the government is the answer to every problem, but our founders were specific about limiting the size and scope of government to a select few issues,” says Marc. For the last 28 years, Marc has been happily married to Michelle. They have three children. He does have a lighter side. Marc laughs, “I love to go to antique stores. My wife says I would be a hoarder if not for her efforts over the years because I have more antique radios than I have room to store them.” 16

Chesterfield Lifestyle | June 2021

SMASH TUNE INTO SMASH ON WBGZ 107.1-FM STREAMING LIVE AT SMASHDAILY.COM, MONDAY-FRIDAY, 3-5 P.M. He has one of the most recognizable voices in St. Louis. Asher “Smash” Benrubi has been entertaining the masses since he dropped his law studies at Indiana University. “Somewhere along the line, I got bit by the rock ‘n’ roll bug, and that led to 55 years in the entertainment business,” marvels Smash. From his early days at KSHE, through all of his endeavors, his success was built on two main principles: “When you’re sincere and tell the truth, you’re believable and people know it. That results in an audience who will relate and stick with you.” Throughout the years, Smash weathered many storms but always ends up back on top with the sun shining. “I’ve had many unfortunate things happen and through it all, the Lord never let me fall. I praise Him as my greatest strength,” says Smash. He lost the love of his life, his second wife, Debbie, but is proud to have their two children and a son from his first marriage. Somehow Smash never seems to lose that boyish grin, that sparkle in his eye, and a fantastic sense of humor that keeps his fans coming back for more. “Something my listeners don’t realize about me is that I know I don’t look it, but, in truth, I’m a touch overweight,” he laughs. Through it all, Smash remains a happy man. Smiling, he says, “I’ve been blessed to professionally be able to do what I do now and what I’ve done, and for that I am thankful.” CityLifestyle.com/Chesterfield

this,” Patrick says.

Chesterfield Lifestyle | June 2021

As far as his personal life, Patrick and his wife, Annie, as he lovingly calls her, live in the community of Webster Groves, and will soon celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary. “We met at a magazine photoshoot, and it was love at first sight. I asked her to marry me on our third date,” beams Patrick. When it comes to retiring, Patrick says don’t expect it anytime soon. He is currently finishing the film adaptation of the Candy Men book, which will air June 10 on Nine PBS, writing a second book to come out in the fall, and working on a Missouri 200th-anniversary celebration show at the Sheldon. And in his spare time, whenever that is, he devotes time to his artwork, exhibiting and selling his watercolors and woodcuts in galleries and at art fairs. So is there anything this multi-talented man can’t do well? “I’ve been trying to become a decent guitarist for 50 years and I’m still not there. That’s the one thing that I wish I could do, but I haven’t given up, there’s still time,” Patrick laughs. I guess you could say that Patrick, like his great-grandfather before him, is also living the American dream. The

Chameleon, 1384 Clarkson Clayton Center, opened as a brewery in Ellisville during February 2020, right before the lockdown. Co-owners Jay Quezada and Robert Burt say at the time they invested in their brewery, they built out a small kitchen with a brick oven. When the lockdown happened, they managed to pivot to their homemade pizza and wings for carry-out that carried them through the past year.

Having a small, 3.5-barrel brewery allows them to have many seasonal beers, such as stouts in the winter and shandies and ciders in the spring and summer. Among award-winning head brewer, Kerry Rozanski’s creations for summer will be a New England IPA lager and some imperial blackberry and raspberry ciders for

HOT SPOT (CONTINUED) Olive + Oak owner Mark Hinkle and executive chef Jessie Mendica to open in the adjacent space at 216 Lockwood Ave. The restaurants share the patio, which makes for a convivial setting. For the summer, Perennial will focus on saisons, which are lighter, traditional English pub beers, as well as several IPAs. A popular shareable item is their pretzel monkey bread, made in-house and served with house-made beer mustard. Much of their food has a European influence, such as tarteè flambè, an Alsatian-style flatbread with asparagus, ham and a Mornay sauce. 314.682.3823 Perennial on Lockwood

Facebook.com/PerennialOnLockwood 4 HANDS BREWING CO. 4 Hands Brewing Co., 1220 S. 8th St., has been pleasing customers with a wide variety of craft beers since 2011. The team at 4 Hands works to be a pillar in the community, and through the brewery’s City Wide American Pale Ale, has given back $1 a case since 2016 to more than 20 nonprofits. Their new brew, Statewide, a hazy pale ale, partners with the Veterans Community Project to support their efforts in creating a veterans community in North St. Louis. Their newly launched seltzers, including apricot almond, blackberry pomegranate and pineapple mango, are perfect for St. Louis’ famously humid days. Popular brews are Incarnation, a mosaic hopped IPA and City Wide American Pale Ale. Their partners at Peacemakers bring fan favorites, such as the Frisco melt and spicy-fried flounder sandwich, to the menu.

DIY FOOD RUBS MAKE EXCELLENT FATHER'S DAY GESTURES

CULINARY CREATIONS

SPICE UP GRILLING A FLAVORING BLEND OF HERBS, SALT, SPICES AND SOMETIMES SUGAR MAKES A DELICIOUS “RUB.” The dry combination is rubbed onto meat, poultry, fish or vegetables, enhancing flavor and providing a crispy crust. Spice rubs work best when the food is grilled, broiled, baked or roasted. As most of the ingredients in a spice rub have few calories, they’re a health alternative to heavy sauces or oily marinades.

INGREDIENTS + Paprika, pepper and chili powder + Garlic, onion powder, dried basil and oregano + Chili peppers, lime juice, fresh garlic and cilantro + Oregano, thyme, pepper, coriander, onion powder + Tarragon, mustard, chive, chervil and fresh shallot

DIRECTIONS

ARTICLE JULIE BROWN PATTON

1. Choose one of the flavor combinations here and mix equal

parts of ingredients. 2. Pat rub over surface of food, ensuring it sticks. 3. For stronger flavor, cover rubbed food and store in refrigerator to let the spicy flavors sink in. 4. Grill/cook food according to preferred method. 5. Spice rubs can be made in advance and stored in jar for up to six months in a cool, dry place. Chesterfield Lifestyle | June 2021

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE THE PRO GOLFER’S FITNESS JOURNEY

SCOTT

STALLINGS’

WORKOUT ARTICLE CITY LIFESTYLE

SCOTT STALLINGS DISCOVERED HIS INTEREST IN GOLF AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 3. But it was the “aha moment” for his LOVE of the game that came in 1997 when Tiger Woods won the Masters and would forever change the entire landscape of the industry, as well as what Stallings would aspire to achieve in his future professional endeavors. He was a seven-time tournament winner and was an All-American while attending Tennessee Tech, and he has won on the PGA Tour three times as a professional golfer. After experiencing some health complications, Scott set himself into overdrive to “get it together” and tapped into his natural drive to be one of the best. With the guidance of doctors, surgeons, and his good friend Rich Froning, a four-time Crossfit champion, Scott developed a workout to trim 60 pounds, boasting 10% body fat, revising his daily eating habits, and sleeping healthily through the night. Had Scott not gone to the doctor because of that innate fear, he never would have known the diagnosis of sleep apnea that needed to be addressed. “You only get one body,” he says. “Golf is a grind, but don’t let physicality get in the way of your game,” Scott says. 36

EXPLORE AND CELEBRATE MISSOURI'S BICENTENNIAL THIS SUMMER WITH HELP FROM LOCAL BROADCASTER, JOHN BROWN

Victoria's Book Club John Brown, author and KTVI

Fox 2 news anchor.

“I LIVED IN 20 DIFFERENT PLACES, ALL IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI, BEFORE I GRADUATED COLLEGE.” Missouri native John Brown is proud of his Show-Me state roots, and shares what he’s learned in his latest book, 100 Things to Do in Missouri Before You Die. John says, “What stimulated my interest in Missouri history was living in all these small towns, all across the state.” Many readers may recognize John as news anchor and political reporter for KTVI Fox 2, but he’s also the author of seven history books. I recall the release of his debut book when we worked together at KTRS radio. This latest is one of four books he’s writing during the state’s bicentennial year, so the busy guy turned to veteran local author and Missouri transplant, Amanda Doyle, to bring a different perspective and share history about little known places. John’s biggest surprise from his research? “Fifty percent of all people from St. Louis have never been inside the Arch. And we have these iconic destinations with so much history that are within a couple hours’ drive.” The Webster Groves writer also wants families to vacation to the places listed “like a rock star.” John says, “You can go to
