EDITOR ‌FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS, THE PANTONE COLOR INSTITUTE HAS picked a color of the year – a color predicted to wash over the design markets like a wave, trending and making appearances in homes across the country. This year was no exception, and I was tickled to learn Pantone selected one of my personal favorites – coral! If you aren’t as big a fan of such a bright and bold choice, fear not: Ladue News home décor aficionado Nancy Robinson spoke to local interior design experts about their recommendations for incorporating the shade into your home. We hope you find their tips and tricks as lovely (and lively) as we do, starting on p. 30. Also in this week’s edition, check out LN car guru Ryan Scott’s feature on the 2019 Jaguar I-PACE, starting on p. 47. This electric car’s unique profile will turn heads during your daily commute, while also giving you that acceleration – hello 0 to 60 mph in just under five seconds – that so many of us desire. All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Editor’s Corner The word around town

Congratulations to Lutheran Senior Services (LSS) for receiving Workplace Health Achievement Index, which evaluates the overall quality and comprehensiveness of workplace health programs among participating companies and then calculates an average heart-health score among its employees. This marks the fifth consecutive year LSS has received this recognition.

Wheels in Motion, a collaborative effort of several area car clubs headed by the First Capitol Classics Auto Club of St. Charles, recently donated $14,000 to The National Children’s Cancer Society (NCCS), a nonprofit that “provides emotional, financial and educational support to children with cancer, their families and survivors.” According to a press release, in the past 20 years, Wheels in Motion has raised $176,000 for NCCS.

everybody is encouraging to one another. Supporting one another builds morale. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; driver Jeffrey Piggue,

pictured with Allegro resident Jenny.

There are so many programs for residents [that are designed] to bring out the best in them. – Megan SchMitt,

ASSiStAnt director of reSident ServiceS

llegro Senior Living has come to mean one thing to many: home. It is the place where your driver converses with you about your day, where your meals are always prepared with you in mind, and where you discover ways to improve your memory and manage your health. At Allegro, a family-owned company based in St. Louis, each day brings new possibilities for living a life you love. “People are leaving their homes and coming to a new place because they are not able to care for themselves completely anymore,” Megan Schmitt, assistant director of Resident Services, says. “It can be challenging. We have to learn about each resident and figure out how to make them feel as comfortable and as independent as possible.” The associates at the frontline of Allegro recognize the importance of easing incoming residents into their new surroundings. They have embraced the “show me” attitude of Missouri by showing the kind of environment that can be cultivated when individual’s needs and wants are recognized. For driver Jeffrey Piggue, that simply begins with listening. “Everyone’s relaxed,” Piggue notes. “Residents speak their minds. I’m the driver and, even in the car, they share different things about their lives. I like that – and I listen fully. They feel like I can relate. They’ll say, ‘You’re not a spring chicken, but you’re not over the hill yet either!’” One of the newest employees at Allegro, Piggue was drawn to the senior living community because of that human connection. He previously worked for the mobile division of the St. Louis Public Library. For 27 years, he visited area senior homes, bringing the joy of reading to elderly citizens. “I was young when I started and this carried right on over,” he remarks. “Allegro is family-oriented. Everybody is encouraging to one another. Supporting one another builds morale.” As evidenced by Piggue’s account, it isn’t just the residents who are impressed by Allegro. In fact, the senior community received more than 300 caregiver applications when it first arrived in Richmond Heights. This significant interest allowed the company to select the crème de la crème to serve its residents. One of those chosen was Jasmin Mehmedovic, who traveled to the United States from Bosnia and Herzegovina as a child. He migrated during the war and grew up not knowing his grandparents, which had a tremendous impact on his life. Mehmedovic found what he had been missing when he began working in the senior care industry at age 16. Today, he serves as assistant director for Dining Services at Allegro. “It’s all about respect,” explains Mehmedovic. “You are not just another body coming in to work. When I come to work [each day at Allegro], I feel happy knowing that I’m cooking for people and helping to make them feel at home. Everybody here puts the residents first. It’s the teamwork [across] all departments that [ensures] they are satisfied and happy.” At Allegro, the key to living the good life is to stay inspired. From exploring your passions to remaining socially engaged, the experiences offered in this senior living community seek to help residents flourish in their daily lives. “Each resident is special,” Schmitt shares. “For example, we have a resident who doesn’t speak English. Our assiciates have gone above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, whether it is [specially preparing] the food she eats or sitting down and doing the things she loves with her. We take the time to learn about the people [in our community].” Located in Richmond Heights, Allegro offers assisted living and memory care apartment homes with amazing amenities, which include a dining room and bistro, a spa and salon, a cinema theater, a full calendar of programming, transportation, housekeeping and more. “There are so many programs for residents [that are designed] to bring out the best in them,” Schmitt says. “We have the tools to help residents feel comfortable and to help them adapt to their [new] surroundings.” Residents and employees alike stay engaged at Allegro, now open, where community is fostered, everyone feels like family and home proves to be more than just a state of mind.

GLENNON GLOW

Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

uests at this year’s Glennon Glow experienced a wild adventure, beginning with having the reception area at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis in Clayton transformed into a tropical jungle complete with tiki statues. On entering the hotel’s ballroom, guests likely felt they’d suddenly plunged into one of the globe’s oceans, as sea creatures floated by on giant screens. This provided an amazing setting for Bob Costas to receive the 2018 Glennon Award not only for his numerous contributions to the area in general but also for his close ties to and support of SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in particular. As part of the award, Cardinal Glennon patient Kenney Burger interviewed Costas. Guests also enjoyed the comic stylings of George Wallace as part of the evening’s program.

Well, there’s no better organization. [At] Cardinal Glennon, every child is taken care of regardless of their ability to pay. We’re here tonight to honor Bob Costas. No one’s done more for the kids at Cardinal Glennon than Bob Costas. He’s been so generous with his time. I’ve served for over 30 years with the [annual Bob] Costas Gala and now the Glennon Glow. But Bob’s been so generous with his time, bringing celebrities in. Over the years, I think we’ve raised something like $16 million for the Costas Cancer Center. … So we’re here tonight to honor Bob for all his efforts over many, many years.

FUNDRAISING GALA

Photos and story by Diane Anderson

he Saint Louis Art Museum hosted its biennial fundraising gala recently on-site. The gala’s theme, “Pop Peace Love,” took its inspiration from the exhibition “Graphic Revolution: American Prints 1960 to Now,” which runs till Feb. 3. More than 380 attendees enjoyed cocktails, entertainment and dinner from Ivy Magruder, chef at the museum’s Panorama restaurant. The gala, the museum’s largest fundraising event, featured an after-party with live music and heavy appetizers. All proceeds from the gala and after-party alike support museum programming, which serves more than 125,000 children, students, teachers, families and adults each year.

enuinely demonstrating excellence and exemplifying commitment to quality long-term care take a special kind of caregiver. Thankfully, the metro area has many such caregivers, 90 of whom were nominated for VOYCE Caregiver Awards at VOYCEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24th annual luncheon late in November. That event recognizes staff and volunteers who constitute the best of the best here. Nominees came from many sorts of organizations, including skilled nursing, assisted living, residential care communities, medical and nonmedical in-home providers, hospice agencies and adult day care programs. In total, 18 Caregivers of the Year were recognized, as were a pair of 20-Year Lifetime Award recipients. In addition to the awards, the event, which took place at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel, featured many holiday-themed raffle items, with tickets sold by staff in lighthearted holiday attire.

Our remarkable staff and volunteers compassionately advocate for others who are dealing with the challenges of living in a long-term care setting. I marvel at how they skillfully empower families to obtain the best possible care for their loved ones. This luncheon is an opportunity to honor the unsung heroes who are the front-line caregivers delivering exceptional, quality, person-centered care to those we love.

Orchid MANIA

he cold, dreary winter skies make us turn our gardening addictions to new plant catalogs, both for outdoor pleasures during the still-distant spring – and for our houseplant collections and immediate gratification. One of my personal greatest winter plant pleasures is a shelf with orchids in full bloom. Under ideal conditions, a single orchid floral spray can last several months. Even if you don’t plan to keep and re-bloom the plants, though, they pay a large dividend for a notso-large price. For a focal point on my coffee table, for instance, I made a large container garden with ivy, rooted dieffenbachia cuttings and mini-palms around an empty 8-inch pot. I now gently drop the best orchid of the moment into this well and tuck it with moss. When that best orchid begins to look tired, a quick swap renews the centerpiece, for a long-lasting and easy display. With the now-common use of tissue culture, once difficult and expensive orchid propagation has become more routine, and plants have become much more readily available and economical. If you’re lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, fresh orchid shipments at local grocery and hardware stores may include a wonderful variety of cultivars well-suited to a windowsill garden. That said, avoid selecting plants from picked-over shipments or ones that have been in the overly dry environment of a retail shop too long. Instead, choose plants with healthy green leaves and a multitude of

buds. Also, avoid buying plants during extremely cold spells, as they may be damaged during transport home. The 2019 Missouri Botanical Garden Orchid Show – held daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Feb. 2 to March 24 in the Orthwein Floral Display Hall – will emphasize orchids from the garden’s historic collection that are wellsuited to home growing conditions. According to show designer Pat Scace, it will include lots of information for hobby gardeners about cultivating orchids. More specifically, the show will feature four genera that are well-adapted to indoor growing conditions:

 Cattleyas (corsage orchids; shown above) – oftenfragrant, large individual flowers  Phalaenopsis (moth orchids) – sprays of flat-faced, nearly oval flowers  Paphelopedilum (slipper orchids; shown right) – single flowers with one deep bottom pocket  Cymbidium (boat orchids; shown left) – luxurious sprays of waxy, lasting blooms Tickets to the show, which are free to garden members, cost nonmembers $5 in addition to regular garden admission. As an added attraction, next door in the garden’s Beaumont Room, the Orchid Society of Greater St. Louis’ annual show and sale, themed “Orchids in Paradise,” will take place on Feb. 2 and 3, also from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Free to garden members, admission to it comes included with regular garden admission for nonmembers. (Garden members also can enjoy a members-only preview on the evening of Feb. 1.) At either or both of these events, make the most of your winter indoor gardening by learning from the experts how to make your orchids prosper. Bring your questions – and your camera!

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pantone color of the year goes under the sea and into your home.

ave you ever wondered what colors will be dominant in the home and apparel business soon? Chances are one of them will be Living Coral, the 2019 color of the year recently announced by the Pantone Color Institute, a forecasting business that helps consumer brands leverage sales through the power of color. If Pantone is successful this year, the most prevalent color you’ll see at retail will be a mellow orange hue with golden undertones. Pantone has named a color of the year annually for 20 years, with the goals of tapping into the collective mood of the country and influencing product development and, ultimately, what consumers will see and purchase in fashion, beauty and home décor. The last time Pantone selected an orange-based hue as color of the year was 2012, when the very dramatic and seductive Tangerine Tango took the spotlight. Unlike Living Coral, Tangerine Tango is a high-visibility, vivacious and provocative attention-getter. Living Coral, on the other hand, is a softer, easierto-live-with shade. Described as “sociable and spirited,” Living Coral is seen as an antidote to the harshness of online digital life and an answer to our need for optimism, joy and playfulness, according to Pantone. Fortunately, it’s also a flattering color for most people, which is why it’s likely to be popular in apparel, as well as soft home Hancock & Moore’s Kyra furnishings. “I’d wear a sweater in that color in a heartbeat,” chair is a great example of says Teddy Karl, principal designer at The Great Cover-Up. “I how to use Pantone’s Living could definitely see this as a wall color or as part of a pattern or Coral on upholstered pieces. shubertdesign.com a background color on wallpaper or fabric. It’s a happy color. This could be a dining room, this could be a living room, this could be a kitchen [color]. I could also see it on dishes.” Sallie Home’s sales and display specialist, Nancy Lambert Freese, says there’s always a lot of demand for pinks and coral colors in the bedding business. The retailer’s French luxury brand Yves Delorme appears to have gotten that message loud and clear, as coral is a key color in its spring collection. “It’s great in the bedroom,” Freese says. “As [makeup artist and expert] Bobby Brown says, everybody has a little yellow in their skin, so a coral color with golden undertones is very flattering.” Interior designer CJ Knapp, ASID, the talent behind Yours by Design, is a big fan of Living Coral and already has used it in powder rooms on two occasions. “I paired it with a yellow-based green the first time, and the second time, I paired it with lavender,” Knapp says. She’s also used it in a kitchen to great effect. “I love corals mixed with creams in kitchens, especially those with little natural light. It’s a happy color and great for laundry rooms. When looking for colors to go with coral, think of Florida – sandy tans, turquoise, driftwood gray, sunny yellow, sky blue and bright, deep clear blue, even orange-reds.” Knapp offers one caution when introducing Living Coral to a room. “It is a gorgeous accent wall color, but I would be careful using it in large spaces, especially those that face west or south,” she says. “Just like yellow, it will react to daylight, and the color will intensify.” Knapp, Freese and Karl all predict Living Coral will emerge at retail this spring. We haven’t seen it yet simply because it isn’t a big fall or winter color, unlike Marsala, Pantone’s 2015 color of the year. Merchandise in that deep burgundy hue appeared at retail simultaneously with the color of the year announcement. “You will see Living Coral in the spring collections,” Knapp says. “It will appear as the flower in a blouse, the background on a skirt or a purse. Watch for this color to pop up in wallpaper – [wallpaper designer] Thibaut uses it in their line – and in spring fabrics.” Karl concurs: “Thibaut never let go of coral. I think Pantone’s color of the year is meant to be a guide and to get us excited about coral again. In interior design, it’s all been done before. It’s just about how we interpret and mix it up. And it’s a matter of what the trendsetters are predicting or wearing.”

CJ Knapp paired fabric and paint closely approximating Living Coral in a recent kitchen project. It’s a great accompaniment to the cream-colored cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. cjknappinteriors.com

CJ Knapp’s project board includes fabric, trim, wallpaper and carpet swatches, all of which incorporate deep coral tones that are projected to emerge in home and fashion in 2019.

Knit One,

SKIF Two By Julia Cain | Photos by Sarah Conroy

A local company whose distinctive apparel has enjoyed nationwide acclaim is launching a second location.

n the area unofficially known as St. Louis County’s Chinatown sits an unassuming storefront. Written in red and blue, the sign reads “Universal Gifts & Furniture” – and the new tenant, although not a traditional gift shop or furniture store, has decided to keep it. That storefront is scheduled to become the second location of local fashion brand SKIF International. SKIF is headquartered in the St. Louis neighborhood of The Hill (2008 Marconi Ave.), but it will expand next week to that storefront at 1800 Olive Blvd. Customers can pop in to test the brand’s unique knitwear or peek inside the creation process at this artistically cluttered studio-store hybrid. While the HQ won’t change, the line – which has been designing American-made knit items since the ’90s – has grown enough to need that additional

storefront. And the text on the pre-existing sign may provide a new avenue of creativity. “Maybe we will make furniture this next season … ,” says Nina Ganci, SKIF’s founder. “We already recycle the boxes that fabric arrives in and all the plastic water bottles into sofas, and we make poufs from all recycled plastic bags.” Ganci explains she fell in love with the sign that came with the Olive Boulevard building. “I don’t usually consider retail sales at SKIF because I am focused on the boutique orders,” Ganci says. “Now, I am looking at what we make for great people who come in to shop, how it looks on them and how it looks displayed in my own store. I am having tons of fun and freedom with décor. I have developed a real appreciation for the boutiques that sell SKIF.” Ganci, who learned to knit from a plastic knitting machine

with coordinating VHS tape, founded SKIF after leaving the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York in 1992. She was drawn to designing with this medium “because it was a way of making the garment and the fabric. With just yarn, the shape of the garment is created.” The shapes of the items from SKIF, overall, are loose and flowing. Sweaters are typically seen with curled hems and the occasional deconstructed element – a feature especially seen in The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded, which put the Hollywood spotlight on the brand when nearly 100 SKIF items were made for those sci-fi cinematic blockbusters from 1999 and 2003. Although that was roughly 20 years ago, the general aesthetic of many of the items remains the same, but the options for embellishments, material and pattern have expanded. SKIF’s knit items are frequently used as canvases for artists in the brand’s plethora of collaborations. Currently, such collaborations include area artists and designers Pele Prints, Q Liu and Michael Drummond. “Sometimes I am shocked at how the garment becomes a beautiful work of art,” Ganci says of these items. Although SKIF might be known best for its knitted tops, the brand includes a full array of artisanal items, including casual tees, dressy tunics, flowing pants, stylish accessories and more. “The reaction I see from people shopping at SKIF is fun surprise, relief from the default world and joyful freedom,” Ganci says. Want a piece of your own? Items can be spotted at boutiques around the world, as well as the two area locations. Patterns are even available for purchase to learn to make your own SKIF cardigans, floor poufs and pullovers. “Our design process is always evolving and is directed by our fans and friends, who tell us what they like about our line,” Ganci says, noting special requests, mistakes or total accidents as potential areas for design inspiration. “The main purpose for a new style is to create a piece of clothing that can be comfortable and flattering to the body. Every body is shaped so differently, and we do not make clothes for mannequins.” Customers can celebrate the new University City location of SKIF for a ribbon-cutting on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 11 a.m. SKIF International, 2008 Marconi Ave., St. Louis; 8100 Olive Blvd., University City, 314-773-4401, skifo.com

KINDLE BETZ C

It’s very important to be humble and graceful and thankful when meeting people because they’ve given us the business and allowed us to become successful. - CAROLYN KINDLE BETZ

owner or in the boardroom or [as a] small-business owner.” The deal to make the team a reality isn’t done yet. The league is expected to make an announcement sometime in 2019, but from all indications, it appears St. Louis is a leading contender. Until that final decision, Betz will continue to stand out front and make herself a very public person. She’s quickly established herself as a civic, charitable and business leader. She’s also become one of the city’s biggest promoters. “I think we, as a city, are too hard on ourselves – we have so many wonderful treasures,” Betz says. “There’s more than $8 billion committed to renovation and development in the city. Those are very important things we need to be able to say. We are an international, world-class city, and having that MLS team is one more thing that proves we are.” Hopefully, Betz and Major League Soccer will succeed in boldly proclaiming our fair town as truly “international.” That’s something we’ve been trying to do since 1904; it doesn’t get any more St. Louis than that.

arolyn Kindle Betz is just about as “St. Louis” as a person can be. She loves toasted ravioli, her favorite restaurants are on The Hill, and she bleeds blue for the Blues and red for the Redbirds. And because you’ll ask, she went to Burroughs. “I like the fact that you can have four seasons in 24 hours,” Betz says with a straight face. For most of her 41 years, she’s flown under the radar in her hometown, but Betz has suddenly become the face of one of St. Louis’ most prominent families and the leader of the effort to bring big league professional soccer to St. Louis and build a new downtown stadium. Betz is the president of Enterprise Holdings Foundation and the granddaughter of Enterprise Rent-A-Car founder Jack Taylor. She also would be the majority owner of the proposed MLS (Major League Soccer) expansion team that, if approved by the league, would start playing games in 2022 in a $250 million stadium that’s set to be built right next to Union Station. Nearly everybody in town knows about the Taylor family and Enterprise; it’s the 16th largest privately owned company in the country and worth billions. But contrary to what you might expect of a family that’s been so prosperous, Betz says her kin have purposefully stayed low-key and humble. “No matter what has happened, that’s been a mainstay in our family’s values,” she reflects. “It’s very important to be humble and graceful and thankful when meeting people because they’ve given us the business and allowed us to become successful.” When she was growing up, Betz says she felt like all the other kids who watched their parents and grandparents work hard to succeed. Her grandfather started Enterprise in 1967 and built it just like any other small-business owner would. “My grandfather Jack was proud to have just one more car in the fleet,” she says. “I don’t think he ever had the expectation it was going to be what it became. We were just normal people with a grandfather who was trying to get a car rental business going.” Jack Taylor passed away in 2016 at the age of 94, but his family has continued putting its wealth to good use. So far, the family foundation has given away more than $800 million to charities and local institutions – most of the time, without a lot of fanfare. “My grandfather just always wanted to do the right thing,” Betz says. “It was never about putting his name on something.” But Betz says starting a professional sports franchise requires a lot more public attention. When an earlier effort failed to land a pro soccer franchise, Betz took the lead. Although World Wide Technology CEO, former pro soccer player and Rosary High grad Jim Kavanaugh is playing a significant role in the ownership group, it’s now clearly Betz who’s at the helm. “While it may take us, as the ownership, being more front and center to get the team going,” she says, “eventually we want the team to be out front and the players and the coaches, because we want the community to have ownership in the team as well.” Another significant factor in the ownership group is that other than Betz’s uncle, Andrew Taylor, and Kavanaugh, the remaining six owners are all women. “The female ownership piece is important too,” Betz says. “It’s a good opportunity to show female leadership and ownership in professional sports. This would be the first female majority-owned franchise in the league’s history, but it’s also females taking leadership in all sorts of things, whether as an athlete, a team

lmost every parent has likely heard this three-word phrase: “Nobody likes me.” The feeling that phrase encapsulates has no age barrier and can be experienced just as easily by a younger child as it can by an older teen. When your son or daughter says those painful words, though, they can stab you right to the heart. Often that common complaint comes from feeling alone, and kids can feel alone for many reasons. Some are serious, like experiencing family discord, being bullied or having a mental health problem. Most kids who voice that complaint, though, are simply suffering from developmentally appropriate concerns, such as not being invited to a party or noticing an Instagram post that leaves them feeling excluded. As a father, I have come to learn that my children’s pain is my pain, too. When my kids feel sad or hurt, my parental instinct is to solve whatever problem’s troubling them and try to make my boys feel better. My professional brain, however, knows to take a step back. Jumping in and fixing things sends the wrong message. Doing something like that tells your children they are not capable of solving their own problems, and it also prevents your teens from developing coping skills. When your child voices an emotional concern, you should first stop what you’re doing and go into listening mode. Avoid reassuring your teen that everything will be OK, as most kids will just dig in and disagree; rather, empathize and reflect the complaint by saying things like “That sounds rough” or “How frustrating.” Sometimes, a sympathetic ear is all an anxious adolescent needs to feel better. Other times, though, your child may actually want your assistance because these feelings are overwhelming and happening more frequently than they should. In these circumstances, ask your child questions like “Why do you think that?”, “Does that happen frequently?” and, most important, “What can you do?” Help your teen look for behavioral patterns, and guide your child to solving the crisis on his or her own. Overcoming adversity builds confidence and resilience, which is the foundation for a happy and successful life. Last, however, consider if your child is in real distress. Many children are genuinely victimized, and some do suffer from a debilitating mental health problem. If your child is paralyzed by emotions, then it may be time to consider professional assistance from someone such as a school counselor or mental health professional. At some point, most teens will have a crisis in confidence and feel like “nobody likes me.” Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell when a child has been excluded – because he or she may be hiding emotions. If you notice any unusual behaviors, engage your son or daughter in a conversation, and ask compassionate questions. Despite how it may feel during the teenage years, our kids do appreciate our guidance and support.

Overcoming adversity builds confidence and resilience, which is the foundation for a happy and successful life.

It’s a bit of a sad realization that specsheet numbers tell the full story with how an EV accelerates. Rather than typical discussion topics such as engine comparisons, differentiation lies in things gearheads focus on less, such as styling and build quality. Even how they handle, at least with the small sample size, EVs seem to follow the same paradigm. With such a large percentage of their weight hugging the lowest possible space, both Tesla and this Jag I-PACE change direction in very similar ways. And considering its girth, it’s much better than expected. The I-PACE rides on an active air suspension that can lower itself for egress/ingress or raise itself for off-road capability, and it keeps things tidy in the twisties, but it does so without emotional driver involvement. In those areas of styling and build quality, however, the Jaguar does offer a totally different viewpoint. Jaguar draws upon decades of what is successful design. Inside, the layout is reminiscent of any other luxury vehicle today, albeit a very freshly designed one. The dash, dual-control clusters and center tunnel are all reminiscent enough of “traditional” cars that my septuagenarian parents could stand a chance of figuring out – no chance in a Tesla. The Jaguar strikes a better balance of hip and comforting. Overall, the tech found within the I-PACE is enough to appeal to young buyers while relating to older ones Most obviously different is the exterior of the I-PACE, which cuts a very unique profile. It almost presents like a stretched hothatchback with the wheels pushed as far out to each corner as possible. It’s here where Jaguar showed it, too, can think outside the box, creating an aggressive feel from something without aggressive intent. The air flow-directing hood scoop, sharply raked rear glass and impossible-not-to-notice rear diffuser are things one would find on a Lamborghini, but here are used to create as slippery a shape as possible to extend battery range. There’s nothing on the road today that will be confused with an I-PACE – just that at this point, no passersby will know what it is. In terms of charging, a Jaguar-approved home charge can be purchased and installed, which is said to fully recharge the vehicle overnight. In public, expect at best a 0-to-80 percent full charge in 85 minutes. However, the I-PACE is equipped to accept up to a 100 kW DC charge, meaning you can easily cut that 0-to-80 percent time in half. Jaguar does guarantee battery life unlike any other current manufacturer, giving an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty period should the battery drop below a 70 percent “State of Health.” While driving the I-PACE, after the initial euphoria of engaging with such a cutting-edge product wore off, an almost melancholy realization set in. The driving experience between Tesla and Jaguar EVs is so similar that they could be difficult to tell apart. Both have capability to produce sports-car numbers, but without any of the associated excitement. No doubt the Jaguar I-PACE is an incredible means of transportation that will find many homes in coming years. But the enthusiast in me wonders if it’s possible to make an EV that inspires weekend twisty-road drives to nowhere, simply out of love for the experience.

“Our academic program imparts the intellectual skills and habits of inquiry, study and reflection that are vital to a successful future,” says Alice Dickherber, director of admissions at Saint Louis Priory School, a Catholic, independent day school for boys in grades seven through 12.

he educational experience at Saint Louis Priory School is deeply rooted in Benedictine values and balanced by a rigorous examination of diverse disciplines that are designed to develop young men in mind, body and spirit. “When you enter Priory, you join a lifelong community,” Dickherber says. “We want to integrate our students into this community and nurture each one’s academic, social and spiritual life. And that starts with our seventh grade program.” The junior school at Priory, which houses grades seven and eight, begins the important integration process into the campus community by including two unique aspects within its curriculum. “One is our advisory program, in which every student is assigned a faculty member,” Dickherber details. “That faculty member meets every day with a small group of 12 to 15 seventh- and eighth-graders. Community is built between grades within that group.” These faculty members guide junior school students in the careful balance between their social and academic lives. The advisory program also incorporates mentorship opportunities between Priory’s high school and junior school students. “Tutoria is a high school mentoring program for our seventh and eighth grade students,” Dickherber explains. “Every Tuesday, for a full class period, four to six high school mentors meet with an advisory group. They pray together and engage in reflection. They have fun and build relationships.” All of that time invested in fostering relationships is well spent on the youngest Priory students, who carry a heavy course load from several educational departments. “We have high expectations for our students,” Dickherber confirms. “We know that nurturing their social lives and their connection to the community are just as important.” “At this time of year, many of our alums who are home from college are coming back on campus,” she adds. “We have more than 2,700 alumni and all come back to campus, knowing someone will be here who taught and knew them. The relationships and connections they made here [continue to be] so important in their lives.”

he Gatesworth isn’t your average retirement community. Far from it, in fact, with robust programming, stellar dining options and, most importantly, staff that gets to know you. Look no further than behind the kitchen doors for proof. “With other establishments, processed food is the norm,” says chef Brian Hardy. “We bring things in and do the work ourselves. We use fundamental techniques to maintain the best part of the food, its nutrients.” From adding herbs, aromatics, garlic and vegetables to a low-sodium brining liquid for meat flavoring, to peeling and blanching all vegetables in-house, each menu item is made flavorful and remains good for you. “Almost every individual who trains with us is a graduate from a culinary program, has gone through an apprenticeship or has even competed worldwide,” Hardy states. “The service staff understands the special intricacies of our residents. It’s instinctive, an almost effortless everyday action for them, and a vital part of what we do.” That attentiveness to the people they serve goes deeper than surface-level, as Hardy describes. “The best thing about the job is the residents,” he shares. “Some of my favorite people in the world live here. You don’t get that kind of affection or emotional response elsewhere. When you serve the same people, you build wonderful relationships that are meaningful in your life.” For resident Carol Max, that commitment to the

clientele has made a noticeable improvement in her life. “Everything is made-to-order here,” she says. “We have a wonderful chef. Whatever you want, he gets on the menu. His staff watches over your needs and keeps everything healthy. You can select from three menus in any of the three dining rooms.” She also finds the exercise programs enticing, and for her, the water classes are the real draw. “Each class has qualified instructors who pay attention to your needs,” Max details. “We have a heated saltwater pool that is delightful to be in and a wonderful spa. There’s all kinds of ways to be active here.” Hardy details how the level of care given to each resident stems from a sense of all belonging together, a sentiment he experienced firsthand upon winning the title of St. Louis Chef of the Year in 2010. “Co-owner Bob Leonard brought close to 60 people from The Gatesworth,” he remembers. “I was blown away to have everybody there, along with my family, to support and celebrate me. We’ve had six Junior Chefs of the Year from The Gatesworth in the last decade. It’s always a big celebration. These relationships go beyond the job, like an extension of your family.” The connection between staff and residents keeps each person thriving at The Gatesworth. It seems they may have captured that elusive notion of feeling “forever young.” The Gatesworth, One McKnight Place, 314-993-0111, thegatesworth.com

n an unusual tandem setup under one roof, The Note Bar, which opened last October in downtown St. Louis, shares its kitchen with fast-casual Mexican eatery Vaya Con Dillas. At the forefront of the dual venture, the St. Louis Blues-themed bar and grill offers appetizers, sliders, pizzas, salads and more, and comes from Lawrence Group, replacing Alumni Saint Louis. Chef Ryan Hecht – who previously ran Alumni, as well as Kota Wood Fire Grill in St. Louis’ Covenant Blu-Grand Center neighborhood – serves as general manager and executive chef for the overall rebranding. Lawrence Group revamped the space, which seats roughly 180 guests between both businesses, with a

To round out the hockey-lovers’ hub, retired Blues players’ jerseys line the walls, with a few TVs at the bar. “We wanted to make this spot more comfortable for Blues fans and make it a place where they could go before and after games,” Hecht says, adding that a shuttle and food-ordering counter are available to make it easier to get in and out. “The menu features handcrafted pub food. We tried to make sure that there’s something for everyone on the menu.” To complement the theme, dishes are broken down into six categories: Pregame Skate (appetizers), Hat Tricks (sliders), Hit the Boards (pizzas), Loose Pucks (sides), Powerplays (soups and salads) and Bring Out

The Note Bar, 200 N. 13th St., St. Louis,

‌Story: Ferguson, Missouri, a sleepy suburb just west of St. Louis in north St. Louis County, made national headlines in August 2014 when Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown Jr., an unarmed black teen, one Saturday afternoon. Civil unrest became so intense that national and international media assigned journalists to the area to cover the ongoing story. A TV news show titled Battleground sends its crew, including host Marcus Robertson and panelists Imani Duncan-Ward and Brad O’Connor, to Ferguson for “live” debates at the scene between the right-wing Brad and left-wing Imani. As the story continues to unfurl, Brad’s original “law and order” views of what happened and why are challenged by Imani. Their show is interspersed with interviews of various Ferguson residents, video footage from the day of the incident and other sources which ratchet up the intensity of their debates about the image of police in black communities, systemic racism and more. African-American Imani views the Ferguson incident as representative of the nation’s centuriesold stigma of racism, while Brad, a Caucasian, bristles at the suggestion of white privilege in the course of their increasingly personal verbal attacks against each other. Ratings, meanwhile, soar as more and more viewers tune in to watch their bristling commentary. When word about Imani’s alarming personal situation leaks out, Brad and Imani realize that they need to heal their own relationship even as they continue to debate what can be learned in the aftermath of Brown’s death. Highlights: The St. Louis Black Repertory presents the engrossing world premiere of this evenhanded drama about the death of Brown, the Black Lives Matter movement and other results of the Ferguson unrest. In development for more than four years, the script by Kristen Adele Calhoun and Michael Thomas Walker revisits painful memories through the hearts and minds of two disparate journalists. Other Info: Canfield Drive was a project cocommissioned by Brooklyn, New York’s 651 Arts in partnership with The Black Rep and New Orleans’ National Performance Network. Workshops of the two-act play were held here and in Brooklyn, Denver and Hartford, Connecticut, prior to its world premiere at the Edison Theatre on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. Black Rep producing director Ron Himes has assembled an all-Actors’ Equity cast to tell this sobering tale of America’s racial strife and its long history in the metro area in specific and the United States in general. Kristen Adele and Christopher Hickey get to the

hearts of their respective roles, Imani and Brad, with both showing growth in those characters through the sometimes convoluted first act and the brisk second, which cover 40 scenes variously set on the TV program, in Ferguson, at a hotel restaurant and during on-location interviews. If their portrayals sometimes seem clichéd, there’s no denying that they likely are based on actual individuals. Eric Conners provides suitable neutrality in his role as the show’s host. He also delivers a finely etched portrayal of a hipster waiter whose friendliness at his initial meeting with Brad and Imani changes abruptly at their second encounter, when he recalls his own harrowing experience with a cop. Amy Loui, like Adele, Hickey and Conners, does a fine job portraying a number of minor characters who reveal their thoughts and feelings about the unflattering emergence of Ferguson, a city with about 20,000 residents, in media reporting on its racial turmoil literally carried around the world. Himes keeps everything moving with a sure, steady pace, no easy feat with so many vignettes sprinkled throughout the drama’s duration. Calhoun and Walker cite numerous incidents similar to the Ferguson tragedy in their wellthought-out and intelligent script. Canfield Drive, though, focuses specifically on our own area and the microcosm of Ferguson within the macrocosm of the ongoing struggle for racial equality and justice in America.

A longtime local artist draws on centuries of inspiration to paint striking commissioned portraits. 60

january 18, 2019 | LadueNews.com

ike Jamie Adams’ more personal paintings, his commissioned portraits may well call forth from the discerning viewer a lilting litany of adjectives worthy of the opening of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita: lush, luminous, libidinal in the strictest sense. Almost necessarily, Adams’ personal paintings (which sometimes feature doomed 20th-century film femmes fatales like Marilyn Monroe and Jean Seberg, if not Nabokov’s equally doomed novelistic nymphet) push the envelope in ways the portraits do not, sometimes edging toward the louche and even, depending on one’s predilections, the licentious – but that in no wise denies the power of either category of work. Moreover, Adams, who serves as associate art professor and painting area coordinator with the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis, reveals that the technique between the two categories varies little. “The painting methods I employ for all of my work are much the same, whether commissioned or my own,” he says of his creations, which customarily involve oils on linen. “My technique consists of a variety of painting methods, from direct painting to a multilayered, indirect method using grisaille or bistre, underpainting places with scumbling and glazing of color. “For a portrait painting, I develop the picture typically from a combination of life, sketching and photo sessions, depending on the availability of the subject. For my own work, the process begins similarly, but eventually much of the picture is imagined.” Certain of Adams’ earliest commissions took place in the mid-1980s for the Pennsylvania legislature, reflecting his status both as a Pittsburgh native and as the recipient of Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts degrees from, respectively, Carnegie Mellon University and Philadelphia’s Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. During a dozen or so years there, Adams recalls, he crafted more than 20 governmental portraits. “Since that time, I’ve had the opportunity to create numerous private and public portraits nationally and internationally, as far afield as Lyon, France,” he continues. “Over the past decade, nine portraits have been completed of Nobel laureates for Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business in Pittsburgh. “And most recently, I’ve been asked to create portraits for Washington University – one of the school’s distinguished professors,

Gerald Early, and this [past] year, Chancellor Mark Wrighton and his wife, Risa Zwerling Wrighton.” Adams briskly sketches his general approach to portraiture, emphasizing empathy with the subject and, thence, the ability to observe, interpret and visualize the subject’s sui generis life. “The process of creating a portrait usually begins with an initial conversation about the painting’s intended purpose and function,” he says. “This will include discussing some of the practical issues – the portrait’s potential location of display and its scale. While these parameters can often require a specific proposal, general pricing for oils – head and shoulders, half figure, threequarters figure, full figure – is available upon request. “It’s also important to give an overview of what the creative process entails – (1) research and concept sketches, (2) photo sessions, (3) production of the finished oil painting and (4) its completion/presentation. Commissioned works are typically completed within six to 12 months, depending on the scale and complexity of the painting, availability of the sitter or other commitments/waitlist.” Over time, assignments for commissioned portraits have come mainly through word-of-mouth recommendations from patrons, collectors and dealers, Adams notes, before detailing the creation of his two most recent commissions. “For the portrait of professor Gerald Early, we met at first to discuss some of his personal and academic/professional interests,” he says. “To develop my idea and composition, I visited his offices and made some sketches. Thinking about his book The Culture of Bruising, I wanted to portray him as the writer, the fighter, the advocate. “At a certain point, I brought a stool to set up his office like a boxing ring. Gerald poses in the painting as if sitting between rounds, ready to go another. I also included some of the vintage images of black prizefighters currently displayed in his office.” Adams dubs the tandem portrait of the chancellor and his wife an interesting project, citing “the complexity of appropriately representing their personal life as a couple in some way, as well as their public persona and leadership within the Washington University community. “To suggest something more personal, intimate, in the painting, I decided to place Mark and Risa’s hands in close proximity and at the vertical center of the painting. Mark’s right hand is holding a note, which recalls the genesis of their relationship: Risa sent Mark a note as a personal introduction to the community when he first arrived to campus as chancellor. The note in the painting now signifies a more public gesture, Mark’s welcoming introduction of future students to the university.” For the tandem portrait’s mise-en-scène, Adams recalls being drawn to one

of their home’s smaller spaces, “where beautiful, ambient light seemed to envelop all of its accouterments – the subtle, gradating light across the wall like a [17th-century Dutchman Johannes] Vermeer painting, the white curvilinear mantel, decorative crystal and ceramic vessels on top of it, and the framed, picturesque landscape painting above.” Here Adams grows even more specific: “For the space’s visual affect, I looked to northern European paintings such as [15th-century Netherlander] Hugo van der Goes’ Portinari Altarpiece, where his characters are placed within an otherworldly, stagelike scene. “Like the van der Goes, I also wanted to include smaller elements which speak to the profound impact of their shared public life – the fruit basket, red cloth, construction book, Asian gift, etc., like an altarpiece’s predella and its subnarrative around the painting’s lower perimeter.” Lately, although Adams’ influences have perforce expanded vastly, he likewise confesses, “Within the tradition of painting, I’m still especially drawn to works that exhibit a high verisimilitude and decorative quality, delicacy of line, saturated colors and idealized form.” He cites as favorites a number of Renaissance Italians, supplemented by a more diverse, everevolving list of other artists. (Visitors to Philip Slein Gallery in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood – which represents Adams locally, among a number of other galleries elsewhere – have perhaps detected his influences in “Blondie Bubba: New Paintings by Jamie Adams,” an exhibition of personal works running through the end of January.) “My interest in drawing from art history flows from my own studio practice to my teaching at Washington University,” Adams continues. “For a number of summers, I used to co-teach a drawing course in Florence, Italy. Much like other artists throughout the centuries, our objective was to visit the various collections – the Bargello, [Galleria dell’] Accademia [di Firenze], Uffizi Gallery – and study from the masterworks.” Ultimately, regarding his métier, Adams muses: “Paintings are some of the most beautiful images in the world. I’ve been obsessed with looking at them since I was a boy.” He mentions visiting the Carnegie Museum years ago and being “mesmerized” by the works of the Frenchmen Edgar Degas and Édouard Manet, the Italians Tintoretto and Titian, and many others, among them the (mostly) 19th-century Frenchman William-Adolphe Bouguereau. “One Bouguereau painting in particular, Souvenir, was very moving – mesmerizing even – because of its convincing illusion of a female figure with opalescent skin, her rhythmic hand gestures and subtly lit folds of her gown,” Adams says. “This is the magic of painting for me.” Jamie Adams Studio, 314-303-6947, jamie@jamieadamsart.com, jamieadamsart.com
