letter

from the

EDITOR ‌MAHATMA GANDHI ONCE SAID, “BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH to see in the world.” Week after week, inspiring people in our community are doing just that through their tireless work to help those in need.

In this week’s edition, on p. 12, we learn about Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital and its expansion, which enables the organization to help even more kids in our community. We also learn about individuals donating their time, talent and funds toward organizations benefitting good causes (starting on p. 16), as well as a group of women who saw a window of opportunity to better the sport they are passionate about.

Starting on p. 33, meet the masterminds behind Motherputter, a women’s golfwear line that’s fierce, feminine and all fore the game they love. They saw a need for change and took full strides into making a difference. We hope you enjoy this story, beautifully shared by digital editor and staff writer Robyn Dexter, which shares the inspiration behind this new brand and what’s in store for the future.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Even though 2016 was a year of change, donors were more generous than ever, and philanthropy in America remained remarkably resilient. Now that is something to celebrate!

St. Louis continues to be recognized as one of the most philanthropic communities in the nation. National Philanthropy Day is a time to honor those who lead by example through their extraordinary generosity, volunteerism and commitment to philanthropy. Their stories are ones of care and concern, of passion and compassion, showing their desire to bring change and invite hope into our community.

National Kidney Foundation Serving Eastern Missouri, Metro East and Arkansas

GIFT OF LIFE GALA

Photos and story by Diane Anderson

I

t was that time of year again, time for the St. Louis area’s biggest kidney-health supporters to gather for a night of food, drinks, auctions and a program honoring those on the front lines of kidney disease.

Now in its 31st year, the National Kidney Foundation revisited why it started. There was no theme – just a splash of orange to the cocktail attire, so guests could focus on raising critical funds for kidney disease research and patients. KMOX sports broadcasters Tom Ackerman and Chris Hrabe served as the emcee and auctioneer again this year. Dr. Daniel Brennan was awarded the 2017 Award of Excellence; he recently left a long career with Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital to serve as medical co-director for the Comprehensive Transplant Center at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins University Medical Center. Sandhya Vollala served as gala chairwoman. The Gift of Life speaker was Amanda Ratz.

GRAND OPENING

Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

S

everal notable area residents recently attended the ribbon-cutting for the Catalyst Innovation Lab, including St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson. The lab occupies the Arts and Education Council’s Centene Center for the Arts on Olive Street at the heart of the Grand Center Arts District. The lab – envisioned as a place to gather, collaborate, learn and exchange ideas on creativity for more arts and cultural innovation in the area – sports a modular design that makes it very flexible for utilitarian purposes. Guests at the ribbon-cutting enjoyed food and drinks while exploring the lab before hearing from board chair Len Eschbach, as well as Centene’s president and CEO, Michael Neidorff, and Krewson herself. Once the ribbon was cut, to much applause, tours of the unique building took place.

LANDSCAPE

Dwarf Shrubs for the Small Garden

By Pat Raven, Ph.D., with Julie Hess

‌H

orticulture, like clothing designers, has style. Each spring, a new line of plants makes us salivate and grow our garden wish lists. As baby boomers age, they’re opting for less living space, in both the home and garden. Thus, today’s plant-breeding trend embraces smaller, compact plants to fit in courtyards, terraces, containers and downsized gardens. Most new dwarf cultivars also offer easy care with improved disease resistance and little pruning.

Recent introductions include these colorful dwarfs ranging in height from 1 foot to 3 feet: Abelia ‘Pinky Bells’ have large flowers and stand less than 3 feet tall.

Among hydrangeas, the Cityline series grows only 1 to 3 feet tall, while the reblooming Let’s Dance collection tops out at 2 to 3 feet; the prolific ‘Bobo’ measures less than 3 feet tall and tolerates alkaline soils; and ‘Tiny Tuff Stuff’ (18 to 24 inches) and ‘Tuff Stuff’ (2 to 3 feet) are both rebloomers with extra bud hardiness, while ‘Mini Mauvette’ matures below 3 inches.

Among forsythia, the Show Off series includes ‘Starlet’ at 2 to 3 feet and ‘Sugar Baby’ at 30 inches; these cheery, yellow harbingers of spring can be grown in containers.

The buddleia series Lo & Behold stays below 3 inches and is noninvasive.

Weigelas measuring less than 2 inches are redleaved ‘Midnight Wine,’ variegated ‘My Monet’ and pink-suffused ‘My Monet Sunset.’

Otherwise, the following remain well-behaved at 3 to 5 feet: Abelia ‘Bronze Anniversary’ and ‘Sunny Anniversary’ stay below 4 feet.

Cephalanthus’ ‘Sugar Shack,’ a premium version of the gangly native buttonbush, is a compact, glossy 3- to 4-foot beauty with white globular flowers and red fruit after.

Hibiscus syriacus’ Lil Kim series grows only 3 to 4 feet tall.

Hydrangea paniculata’s ‘Little Lime’ and ‘Little Quick Fire’ are a quarter the size of their larger siblings and max out at 3 to 5 feet.

For something just a bit taller but still restrained, try a compact tree-form of hydrangea, ‘Limelight’ or ‘Quickfire’ – easily trained into single-stem standards that, at 6 to 8 feet, are small compared to the original 25-foot ‘P.G.’!

Great uses for these colorful small shrubs include bedding around sculptures and fountains, foreground framing under borrowed views, well-mannered edging along pathways and adding architecture to the perennial border. Perfect for planting in sightline safety areas like driveway aprons and suicide strips along the street, they won’t obstruct the view of oncoming motorists.

Also, those graced with large gardens should consider using mass plantings of them to anchor big, sunny beds and reduce or eliminate sections of energy-hungry grass.

Whether you garden on a small or larger scale, though, these colorful, carefree dwarf beauties provide more lovely woody options for perennial and shrub borders.

Tint

By Nancy Robinson Photos supplied

Drumroll please! Pantone has announced its 2018 color of the year – with a hue that evokes both royalty and spiritual qualities, unconventionality and creative brilliance.

KeeP Kitchen aSSetS uP to date.

Why not add Ultra Violet to your kitchen via appliances that are always on counter display? An espresso maker or a stand mixer in Ultra Violet would be a great way to keep your kitchen in top form.

P

antone, a global color authority, has named Ultra Violet its 2018 color of the year. The hue is described as a dramatic, provocative blue-based purple that communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking; is symbolic of counterculture, unconventionality and artistic brilliance; and is associated with mystical and spiritual qualities.

“For me, purple is a great alternative color,” says Gigi Lombrano, ASID, principal designer at Gigi Lombrano Interiors, who has long embraced the hue in both her wardrobe and her interior design.

“It’s a classic color, and I think people who have had a very favorable association with that particular color are excited and ready for Ultra Violet.

But I also think it’s true that it will take some people a long time to get used to.”

“I think you either like it or you don’t,” says Carol Temple, the talent behind Pizazz 2 Interiors and part owner of Rusted Chandelier in Kirkwood. “It certainly isn’t a neutral color.”

Even though Ultra Violet hasn’t started showing up in a big way at retail yet, it’s likely just a matter of time. “I think it’s coming,” Lombrano says. “It’s like Field of Dreams. Pantone named it color of the year, and everybody is going to get on board.”

In the meantime, both designers offer the accompanying tips to help you enjoy this color in your home right now.

Gigi Lombrano Interiors, 314-707-7291 Pizazz 2 Interiors and Rusted Chandelier, 118 N. Kirkwood Road, Kirkwood, 314-821-7881, (pizazz2interiorsstl.com) (rustedchandelier.com)

Shine a light on it.

Imagine a translucent modern glass or sleek ceramic lamp base in Ultra Violet. Lamps provide an ideal vehicle for adding the Pantone color of the year to a room in small doses and can be made more intense simply by turning on the light.

Bradburn Gallery’s Amelie lamp, Brody Lamp, (brodylamp.com)

Pretty uP with Paint.

Paint is one of the least expensive ways to introduce Ultra Violet and similar shades into your home. “If you’re feeling bold, you could go all in and paint your walls that color,” Lombrano says.

“You could also paint your front door that color,” Temple adds. “That might be super cool.”

PoP a Pillow on it.

For those who prefer to wade, rather than dive, into the new color trend, pillows offer an inexpensive way to experiment. “Velvet is huge right now,” Temple says. “I love velvet because of the saturated color it gives you, so I would say a velvet pillow would give you a punch.”

roll out the carPet. “In terms of how to use the Pantone color of the year now, area rugs are a great choice,” Lombrano says. “They can be a little bit of an investment, but they aren’t quite so permanent. I just did purple area rugs for a client’s living room and entry.”

“Various shades of purple in artwork are, quite frankly, abundant,” Lombrano says. “You may not even realize it.” Florals, landscapes and other scenics very often are tinged with shades of purple, including Ultra Violet.

For those who are ready to make the investment, sofas and chairs upholstered in an Ultra Violet velvet or leather can create a chic, nonconformist mood and a wow factor like nothing else. “If you are a huge fan of it, a Chesterfield sofa or leather chair would look cool,” Temple says.

K

im Tuttle, Kari Schindehette and Jacque Bardgett love everything about golf – almost.

Sisters Tuttle and Schindehette and Tuttle’s stepdaughter, Bardgett, found themselves frustrated with women’s golf clothing every time they hit the links. They disliked the shapeless shirts and boring skorts that dominate the e market. They wanted something more for their golf attire – something qu ac J fresh, fierce and feminine. d an e rs “The clothes are just always lacking,” Tuttle says. “They never had any style.” m m a Su Frustration turned into brainstorming, which turned into the formation of a , S ar e t t e Kim Tut tl e , K a r i S c h i n d e h plan. “We decided this was something we wanted to pursue,” Tuttle says.

The sisters note that now is a great time to pursue this mission for better women’s golf clothing, citing a big push in the golf industry for more women golfers. Although many companies are manufacturing women’s golf clothing, Schindehette says it all looks the same. They wanted to create a line both edgy and modern that women would want to wear both on and off the course.

And so, Motherputter was born.

The three local women worked with a public relations company to come up with names, and as soon as they saw “Motherputter,” they knew “that was it.”

“It has a bit of a rebel vibe,” Schindehette says. “It sounds kind of crazy, but once we got the branding figured out, everything gelled around that.”

Tuttle’s background is in fashion merchandising, and she says working with Motherputter truly takes her back to her roots.

“It’s not just another line of golf clothes,” she says. “We have this vision to create a community for women golfers. We want to bring them together to grow, teach and learn.”

Schindehette says golf has always historically been a men’s sport, but adds that trends show women spending more at pro shops. They hope to get their brand into retail shops, pro shops and specialty stores. Luckily, with a snappy name like Motherputter, Schindehette says that “everybody wants to be part of it.”

They officially launched Motherputter in November 2017 at the Ladies’ Fall Boutique at Meadowbrook Country Club in Ballwin and have continued online sales since. On Jan. 8, they launched the line at Naples Grande Golf Club in Naples, Florida.

The inaugural line from Motherputter consists of funky sleeveless tops, a reversible zip-up vest, a Motherputter signature polo, skorts, shorts and dresses. The trendy golf apparel is all made in the United States and is made of performance-quality fabrics that breathe and move with a body in motion.

“One of the first things we designed was our Sweetwater dress,” Tuttle says. “Golf dresses are a fairly new concept, and we’ve done a different take on it.”

With a dropped waistline, edgy stripe in the back, checked design on the front and a floral top, the Sweetwater dress has been one of the company’s best-sellers since online sales opened. Another best-seller is the Motherputter signature polo; the black polo features a white collar, bighole mesh sleeves and branded elastic, along with a branded zipper pull.

“We’re trying to break the trends from the old, stodgy men’s styles,” Schindehette says.

Tuttle notes that Motherputter is more than just clothes – it’s an attitude. The clothing pieces are designed with all ages in mind, working to bolster that sense of inclusivity and community the team is going for.

Going forward, the Motherputter team is working hard on its online and social media presence. With goals to grow the community and bring women together in femininity and individuality, the ladies of Motherputter have their sights set high.

“Our mission is to empower women,” Schindehette says. “Golf is such a mentally tough game, but it’s all about confidence. If you look good and feel good, your game is better.”

Health Notes

Fatigue or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

By Alecia Humphreys You are officially one month into 2018. Maybe it’s the year you pledged to work out more, read more, travel more – do anything and everything more. While it’s great to have goals, it’s hard to implement more into an already hectic schedule, especially when you aren’t allowing yourself adequate time to rest and recharge. Occasional fatigue is perfectly normal, yet if it’s a constant for you, it could signal a larger, overarching problem.

According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 836,000 to 2.5 million Americans suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), approximately 90 percent of which cases have not been diagnosed. Ladue News spoke with Dr. Margaret Reiker at Missouri Baptist Medical Center about the symptoms, causes and treatments for CFS. It’s common in our hectic lives to feel exhausted, especially when we likely don’t log enough hours in bed each night. How can one distinguish the difference between everyday exhaustion and CFS? The difference between CFS and other fatigue is that it begins suddenly, does not improve with rest and is associated with significant new exercise intolerance.

38

JANUARY 19, 2018 | LadueNews.com

What are common symptoms of CFS? The common symptoms of CFS are feeling tired all of the time. Often this begins with a sudden onset, such as after a cold or other infection, and then just never seems to get better. Other symptoms include poor exercise tolerance, trouble thinking or fuzzy thinking, trouble sleeping and dizziness when standing up suddenly.

What causes CFS? The cause for CFS is not clearly defined. A viral infection such as Epstein-Barr, which causes mononucleosis (and may play a role in multiple sclerosis and other diseases), or other specific viral infections may trigger a disturbance in the immune system that causes this in some individuals.

What are the dangers of CFS going undiagnosed?

If CFS is undiagnosed and untreated, some patients may slip into progressive depression or deconditioning [generally, reverting to being out of shape]. By actively working on sleep, nutrition, a graded exercise program and any associated issues that may be aggravating the symptoms, most patients can eventually overcome this.

Why do so many cases go undiagnosed?

How does one get tested for CFS? Many people are undiagnosed that suffer with CFS because there is not a simple well-defined test, the condition is not really well understood, and we do not have a simple, easy fix for it.

There is no simple test for CFS; this is a clinical diagnosis. You have to see a physician or nurse practitioner [and] have other causes of fatigue ruled out.

Generally, you feel tired all the time for no reason, and you have some of the other symptoms of poor sleep, poor exercise tolerance, dizziness or difficulty concentrating.

What are treatments for CFS? The treatments for CFS are supportive. Most patients improve with different approaches to improve their sleep quality. Counseling with cognitive behavioral therapy may help some, and getting good support for the stress that accompanies this. A graded exercise program, where you gradually rebuild your exercise tolerance, sometimes with the help of a physical therapist, is often helpful. Good nutrition for support of the immune system also helps, and this just means an adequate variety of vegetables, adequate protein and limiting sugar.

Hyken’s HOMEWORK Winter Blues

‌W

hen winter hits in full force, even the best of us can feel a little down. Whether we realize it or not, weather affects mood – and for many of us, the winter blues

elude self-control.

Cold weather and shorter days alter brain and other metabolic chemistry. The hormones melatonin and serotonin control energy and feelings, for instance, with the former affecting sleep and the latter influencing mood. In the colder, darker winter months, the brain produces more melatonin, which can make many of us feel tired, and less serotonin, which can make many of us feel gloomy. For some, unfortunately, the cold proves unmanageable, resulting in seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. For some parents suffering from SAD, winter weather and school snow days can cause even more moodiness. The thought of leaving the house, entertaining the kids and putting on snow clothes can be simply too much. Moreover, when instant messages start inviting families outside to play, build

snowmen or sit around a fire, moms and dads may feel even more stressed, being forced to face how lousy they feel compared to the happy friends and neighbors around them.

Further complicating many people’s moods during this time of year are widespread post-holiday blues.

The gifts have been unwrapped, the cookies have been baked (and eaten) and the holiday decorations have been boxed. Instead of reflecting on joyous memories, though, some folks dwell on unmet expectations, feel guilty over holiday overindulgences and miss the energy and social aspects of the season.

Although SAD and the post-holiday blues remain real concerns for many, the outlook isn’t as cloudy as it sounds. Many easy fixes can improve sufferers’ moods.

Exercise can provide immediate stress relief that lasts long after a workout ends, for instance. Also, eating nutrient-rich foods energizes the body and promotes feelings of healthiness. Otherwise, going outside can improve people’s emotional states, as sunlight provides vitamin D, a natural mood enhancer.

In addition to physically healthy behaviors, being

By Dr. Russell Hyken social improves negative winter emotions. Keep a mental list of special people in your life who always remain happy to talk; something as simple as a phone call or a chat over coffee (in addition to a nice email or text) can brighten anyone’s day.

Even if you don’t suffer from SAD, winter weather often causes some mild depression, lack of motivation or low energy. Don’t despair; rather, recognize your emotions and do something about them. If, however, your low mood persists, reach out to a mental health professional or your family doctor for extra support. Although spring may lurk just around the corner – fingers crossed – winter months can seem even colder than they already are if you experience ongoing blue moods.

I

n a culture of ever-shrinking attention spans, we all sometimes strain to quickly fit everything and everyone into a conceptual box. Once that happens, we judge accordingly and thus may have difficulty seeing things differently. And as unthinkable as it sounds, sometimes we err.

To that point, when the Audi West County team told me they had an all-new 2018 Audi S5 to drive, I did my research – and swiftly prejudged what to expect.

Now, the S5 has always been a looker, showcasing Audi’s ability to make simple shapes elegant and appealing. For 2018, it sports more visual edge while deviating little from the original S5 design, which debuted in 2007. Fender arches have grown more defined, with the front grill a bit busier, and my engineering mind couldn’t help wondering what makes the sharply downward-pinched hood possible.

Elsewhere, on paper, the new S5 seems easy to view as a sporty, adrenaline-infused ride by its also-new turbocharged V-6 (which produces 354 horsepower), the torque-vectoring rear differential and the massive front six-piston brakes.

So would my sporty expectations align with experience? We test-drive to answer just such questions.

The new S5’s interior makes it hard not to immediately focus on the center instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch configurable LCD display. Full of fillips like layering the speedometer and tachometer displays atop Google Earth navigation, Audi’s virtual cockpit becomes something that after use, you wonder how you can live without. Elsewhere inside, typical benchmark Audi levels of fit and finish greet the driver.

Although meticulously crafted with a striking blend of contrasting materials, however, the higher-than-I’d-like seating position provided my first clue that, possibly, Audi doesn’t intend this S5 to be a corner-carver.

Pursuit of economy has in large part made V-8s go the way of the dodo, as is the case here. Audi employs a 3.0-liter V-6, which uses a single twin-scroll turbocharger nestled between the cylinder vee for fastest spool time.

And for the most part, it boasts a very successful, albeit rather introverted, powerplant. Speed builds rapidly, with the car achieving 0-to-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and ticking off a quarter of a mile in 12.9.

But even at full throttle, the S5 keeps a perfect

poker face, as it were. The only sign of cracking a smile involves the just-audible exhaust crackle on shifts when in sport mode. As if doing standup to a room full of proctologists, I felt as if I was the only one having fun. Come on, big Audi, let’s be silly! No matter what inadvisable right- and left-foot combos I tried, I couldn’t make the S5 break loose. What this means to other drivers will depend on mindset; maybe that all-business approach appeals to some, but for me, it meant my snap judgment of the S5’s sport orientation was looking less and less accurate.

That suspicion extended into driving dynamics.

On one hand, the 3,924-pound S5 can dig through corners with a Velcro-like grip. On the other, it does so without translating any sense of excitement or feel.

Again, how that informs your own opinion will depend on your mindset. Although not intended to feel like a sharp-edged sports car, the S5 does produce respectable performance numbers, but sans drama.

The S5 excels, though, in high-speed highway cruising and long distances. Comfort ranks high, with the body structure and interior vaultlike in strength and quiet, and this car effortlessly burns miles. Short blasts into triple-digit speeds feel like slow-lane lollygagging in lesser-built cars. Also, Audi’s progressive steering, which

provides increasing steering ratio as the driver adds input, pays dividends here. Little off-center wiggles at interstate speeds fail to disrupt the car, but unlike your grandpa’s town car, no floaty feeling occurs, either.

I could see this car as being completely at home on a European autobahn.

Otherwise, I test-drove the coupe, a sleek vehicle low on practicality for those with families. The S5 also comes as a four-door sedan, a drop-top cabriolet and a new four-door hatchback Audi calls the Sportback.

Leading the way in whatever life throws at it, the Sportback’s highly adaptable rear hatch and flat-folding back seats could swallow a small mountain of stuff. And under the skin, it remains the same S5 as reviewed here.

When compared with most small SUVs, suddenly the S5 Sportback becomes the fun, sporting option.

No car can meet every criterion from shoppers, of course, and balancing acts inevitably ensue. This S5, though, does shift a few checkmarks from the “sporty” column into “luxury,” resulting in a car that looks at first glance sportier than it really is. And as ever with Audi, the technology criteria tower as tall as any, and the company’s sales numbers make clear that tech speaks to many people. If you’re one, then the new S5 does indeed deserve a test drive.

M

oving rarely comes without complications. But when Rosalie Ewing relocated from her existing apartment to a brand-new unit in McKnight Place Assisted Living’s recently completed expansion, she knew everything would be taken care of without question. “Oh, my gosh! It was very easy,” gushes Ewing. “They packed everything up for us, we moved and were already settled in!” Instrumental to this process was move-in coordinator Mary Kidwell, who helped schedule and plan each resident’s move. “She made the process completely easy,” says Joe Logan, a fellow resident.

“She’s very skilled at what she does.”

Defined by the highest quality of service and unmatched amenities, McKnight Place Assisted Living continually seeks to make life more comfortable, convenient and enjoyable for its residents. In December 2017, the staff moved 45 residents, including Mrs. Ewing and Mr. Logan, from the original building into their new apartments in the community’s three-story, 102,000-square-foot expansion.

The transition was originally supposed to take three weeks, but the expert staff was able to cut it down to two weeks so that all residents would be situated by Christmas. To celebrate, the community held a festive holiday party. As executive director Tracy Cecil describes, “It was the first big event in our new home. It was an exciting time.”

Featuring a mixture of large suites and onebedroom units, the expansion adds 90 apartments to the community. Boasting panoramic Pella windows and lofty, nine- and 10-foot-high ceilings, the new apartments are brighter and more spacious. Other amenities include crown molding, wood-style flooring and kitchens with full-size refrigerators. Custom wood cabinetry and granite countertops provide an additional layer of luxury to each unit’s kitchen and bathroom.

In addition to these features, residents bring their furniture and decorate their apartments according to personal taste. Move-in coordinator Kidwell, a professional relocation specialist, even consults with residents on interior design issues.

Residents appreciate the ability to personalize their apartments and to transform them into true homes.

“The greatest excitement of the whole move is that residents are now showing off their new apartments to one another,” says Cecil. “There’s been a lot of in-house entertaining!”

The staff at McKnight Place Assisted Living works diligently to build community amongst residents through a robust calendar of special events and activities. “They do extremely well to keep us entertained,” declares Logan, who is particularly fond of the music programming.

Recent offerings include performances by the St. Louis Symphony’s string quartet and by Arvell and Company, a musical variety group.

The community also frequently invites speakers and shows both classic and contemporary films in its 45-seat theater. Recently, residents were treated to showings of Casablanca, as well as the 2016 hit Hidden Figures. “I love going to all of the programs that they offer. There’s no way we can possibly be lonely,” emphasizes Ewing. “Most of us have many good friends.”

Happy hour is another event popular with residents.

Hosted every afternoon in the garden café, the gathering includes refreshments and live entertainment.

In addition to the grab-and-go garden café, McKnight Place Assisted Living residents can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in the community’s restaurant-style dining room. Award-winning chef Anthony Lyons breathes new life into the adage “service with a smile.” “I really love the chef,” says Ewing. “He’s a very nice gentleman, always happy

and smiling.”

Lyons oversees a dining program full of delicious, well-balanced and seasonal dishes. The chef will soon launch his spring menu, which will include appetizing options like a Smoked Turkey and Spinach Panini and Filet Mignon. Lyons has another fan in Logan, who states simply: “The food is excellent.”

The new expansion is only the first phase in McKnight Place Assisted Living’s growth. In the spring of this year, the community will debut renovations to its original building, including 27 apartments designated for Memory Care. The new Memory Care household will be licensed-skilled, meaning that it will support all types of residents, from Assisted Living to Skilled Nursing.

According to Cecil, there has already been significant interest in the Memory Care apartments.

“The beauty of our Memory Care household is that it will be designed for individuals who require a smaller, more intimate environment,” she says. “The building will be easy to navigate, walk around and explore.

And, there will be an activity program customized for our Memory Care community.”

Together, the Assisted Living expansion and the Memory Care addition will allow McKnight Place to serve even more St. Louis-area seniors. For Cecil, what sets the community apart from its competitors is its “excellence in care and customer service.” “We really listen to what our residents need and want – especially since they have recently moved – and meet those needs in every way.”

Perhaps Ewing sums it up best: “All I can say is that I’m very happy here. They run a good community. The management is kind and helpful.

They’re lovely people.”

Dinner ...

D

evotees of pizza in general and the mobile Blues Fired Pizza in specific now can enjoy Steve Gleeson and Tony Lee’s wood-fired pies in a stationary location, a kiosk in Kirkwood.

Since rolling out their first food truck nearly three years ago, co-owners Gleeson and Lee have cooked approximately 100,000 pies – around 30,000 pizzas annually from their oven on wheels. They hope to continue that trend at the new location seven days a week.

Blues Fired Pizza’s shacklike commissary, complete with drive-thru service, features three tables and a dozen chairs for visitors hoping to scarf slices onsite. The restaurant roughly doubles the size of the company’s mobile counterpart at a mere 220 square feet – “a truck without the wheels,” Gleeson says.

54

JANUARY 19, 2018 | LadueNews.com

Gleeson and Lee got their experience in the industry as Domino’s delivery drivers for more than a decade each. Inspired by restaurateur Dave Johnson, who owns the Curbside Cookery food truck, the duo decided to build their own business from the ground up.

Although initially called Pyro Pizza, the brand’s name changed last September to Blues Fired Pizza because of trademark issues; the revised brand name also reflects the blues music often played on premises and, of course, the pies cooked to order in its blazing oven.

“We do light, hand-tossed, one-size-only pizza,” Gleeson says. “We make our own dough, use all-fresh ingredients and cook everything in a wood-fired brick oven in 2½ minutes. Everything is generated pretty fast.”

Gleeson describes his and Lee’s product as a classic American-style, hand-tossed pie with a Neapolitan

By Mabel Suen touch. The approximately 36-inch oven can fit eight pizzas at a time, which move quickly in the oakinfused, 800-degree heat.

Foundations for Blues Fired Pizza’s six signature pies include everything from simple San Marzano tomato sauce and house-made pesto to a variety of toppings.

Specialties include top sellers like a concoction of garlic-ranch sauce, chicken, bacon, jalapeño, cheddar and mozzarella.

Another popular pick, a Philly cheesesteak-style option, incorporates American and Swiss cheese “sauce,” steak, onion, green pepper, banana pepper, mozzarella and cheddar. For a classic interpretation, guests can try the Margherita, with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil and olive oil. A deluxe pizza features tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, red onion, green pepper, mushroom and mozzarella.

Alternatively, guests can build their own pies from a list of topping options. Also available are soft drinks, chips and a salad (a spring mix, red onion, mushroom, cheddar and grape tomatoes with ranch or Italian dressing).

Whether you create your own or go with a classic, all sound like delectable delights before seeing The Marvelous Wonderettes from The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.

“We’re independent and the only true woodfired brick oven in the area. Our brick ovens are our pride and joy,” says Gleeson, who intends to roll out a second Blues Fired Pizza truck by the fall.

Blues Fired Pizza, 10800 Big Bend Road, Kirkwood,

‌Story: On the night of the 1958 senior prom at good ol’ Springfield High School, entertainment was supposed to have been provided by the boys glee club, but its lead singer was suspended.

Responding to an urgent request from Mr. Lee, a teacher there, in steps that intrepid quartet, The Marvelous Wonderettes: Missy, Suzy, Cindy Lou and Betty Jean. Mr. Lee previously led them in a state song leaders’ competition, and they answer the call with enthusiasm if not the most polished stage presence.

Still, the four know the lyrics to “Mr. Sandman” – so as the saying goes, the show goes on.

Matching the girls’ zest for performing is their need to showcase their personal lives. Suzy reveals her boyfriend to be none other than Ritchie Stevens, who’s handling the evening’s lighting. After some prodding, Missy admits she has a crush on Mr. Lee, and Cindy Lou’s not above stealing the attentions of Betty Jean’s guy, Johnny.

As fate would have it, all four singers are competing with an absent classmate for the title of prom queen. The quartet dispatches a number of pop tunes that correspond more or less to the prom’s theme, “Marvelous Dreams,” and even use a paper dreamcatcher to segue into various numbers.

A decade later, the girls gather for their class’ 10year reunion. During the past decade, the hits have changed vastly – and so have the lives of The Marvelous Wonderettes. Suzy married Ritchie and is pregnant, while Missy’s been dating Mr. Lee for five years. Betty Jean has been working since graduation at the local hardware store alongside Johnny, now her husband in a marriage as bumpy as Suzy’s. Cindy Lou left town and tried, unsuccessfully, to become an actress in Hollywood, before returning to Springfield.

Life has given The Marvelous Wonderettes their share of challenges, but they’re back in the high school gym to ensure a good time for the Class of ’58 once more.

Highlights: The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis does its best to ward off the frigidity of winter with a pleasant rendition of this popular jukebox musical first performed at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater in 1999.

Other Info: Augustin Family Artistic Director Steven Woolf writes in his current letter to subscribers that The Marvelous Wonderettes “is a bit of a departure from our usual January choice, but when I found it had never been produced in St. Louis before, I simply couldn’t pass up the chance to bring you a little joy.

The weather may be cold and dreary, but in the theatre we’ve got sweetness, warmth and frivolity that will certainly lift your spirits.”

True that. As far as jukebox musicals go, though, The Marvelous Wonderettes ranks among the fluffiest and most lightweight in content and execution.

Director/choreographer Melissa Rain Anderson and

her effervescent quartet of performers handle it all professionally enough – there just isn’t a whole lot there.

Still, there’s no denying that Morgan Kirner as Missy, Leanne Smith as Suzy, Chiara Trentalange as Cindy Lou and Iris Beaumier as Betty Jean have an infectious way with a couple of dozen pop standards from the 1950s and ’60s. They even show their skills doing Springfield High’s “Chipmunk Cheer.”

Each of the singers displays a pleasing voice, as well as some stylish moves in the tradition of the “girl groups” of the era, thanks to Anderson’s terpsichorean contributions. They’re good delivering the show’s abundant comic lines, too, combining physical comedy with dirty looks and knowing glances at their colleagues.

“Lollipop,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Dream Lover,” “Heat Wave,” “It’s My Party” and “Leader of the Pack” are among the recognizable tunes warbled by the quartet, songs that creator Roger Bean weaves cleverly into his script. Bean collaborated with Brian William Baker on the vocal arrangements, with musical arrangements by Baker and orchestrations courtesy of Michael Borth.

The show’s best moment on opening night involved the selection of an audience member to portray the elusive Mr. Lee. The gentleman who reluctantly walked onstage brought his best deadpan with him, to the delight of the audience and doubtless the performers as well.

The Marvelous Wonderettes has played off-Broadway in a couple of productions, including a 2016 revival, and also has spawned a number of sequels, definitely suggesting a market for its music and story. If you’re in the mood for a little “Respect,” check out The Marvelous Wonderettes and step back in time, when you were younger and high school was the only place to be.

St. Louis native Danny Meyer brings hospitality home with the mid-December opening of the area’s first Shake Shack.

Danny Meyer | Photo provided by union Square Hospitality Group

L

ike so many new high school graduates, Danny Meyer didn’t leave St. Louis with a clear vision for his future.

After graduating from John Burroughs School in 1976, he attended Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where he studied political science. He considered becoming a lawyer and spent the year after college living in Chicago before moving to New York City in the early 1980s.

“I was searching for what I should do, and it took an uncle to say, ‘All I’ve ever heard you talk about your whole life is restaurants and food,’” Meyer says. “Even when he said that, I didn’t make the leap to say, ‘I should open a restaurant.’ It felt like a big risk, but more because I’d never heard it valued or validated as a career choice.”

Meyer worked as a host at Pesca, a popular seafood restaurant in New York, for just two years before opening Union Square Cafe – the fine dining restaurant that would propel him to local and then international fame – in the city in 1985. The secret to his early and continued success is simple: At a time in New York when fine dining was dominated by elitism and exclusivity, Meyer was nice.

“There was a lot of really good food in New York, but I was deeply missing the warm welcome and openhearted hospitality I’d felt growing up in St. Louis and also living in Chicago,” Meyer says. “I thought, ‘Wait a minute, why do you guys think a restaurant is better because people are mean to you?

Why do you think a restaurant is better because they charge too much?’

I wanted to prove that this is a legitimate career path, and when I realized that letting people see that taking care of people has value, that’s when I said, ‘I want to make this the essence of everything we open, no matter the price point.’”

In the subsequent three decades, Meyer has done just that: He’s opened multiple Michelin-starred restaurants in the Big Apple, including Gramercy Tavern and The Modern inside the Museum of Modern Art; Blue Smoke, a barbecue joint partially inspired by southern Illinois barbecue icon Mike

Mills; and, of course, Shake Shack, the burger-and-shake chain that draws from his youth in St. Louis. Today, he’s the founder and CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group.

Meyer calls Shake Shack “fine-casual” dining – certainly not fast food and not fast casual, although it’s hard to argue that his model hasn’t hugely influenced the influx of fast-casual concepts that have opened in the past decade. From the beginning, when the business was just a hot-dog cart in Madison Square Park in 2001, Meyer wanted to source ingredients and provide hospitality just as he did at his fine dining restaurants.

Originally, the focus was Chicago-style hot dogs, which evolved into griddle burgers and crinkle-cut fries inspired by those at the original Fitz’s Drive-In in Richmond Heights, steakburgers from Steak ‘n Shake and concretes like those served at Ted Drewes.

“I wanted to prove that you could express hospitality even with a hot-dog cart,” Meyer says. “And by serving Chicago-style dogs, which have eight classic toppings, we trained our team to remember the order of every customer – ‘Oh, there’s Johnny, he’s the guy who likes everything except mustard,’ or, ‘Oh, there’s Suzie, she’s the woman who likes everything except neon pickle relish.’ And it worked – it actually worked.”

Meyer expanded the cart to a kiosk three years later and opened a second location two years after that; today, the chain numbers 137 locations across the globe, including St. Louis, whose Shake Shack opened last month.

“The reason it took us five years to open a second Shake Shack was I never wanted to be known as a chain,” Meyer says. “I finally got over it one day when I woke up and realized there were five Shake Shacks, and I said to myself, ‘You’re a chain!’ Well, whoever wrote that every link in the chain has to look exactly alike? What if each one has its own personality, and you come here and say, ‘This is my Shake Shack’?”

In St. Louis, local touches include concretes made with chocolate chip cookies from Winslow’s Home in University City, gooey butter cake from Park Avenue Coffee and a rotating seasonal pie flavor from

Maplewood’s Pie Oh My, as well as The Mound City Double cheeseburger with Provel, all-natural smoked Niman Ranch bacon and Kitchen Sink Sauce.

Meyer explains: “My dad would take us to the original Fitz’s Drive-In, which was a root beer stand on the corner of Brentwood [Boulevard and Clayton Road], on a Saturday afternoon for lunch.

They had a special sauce then, and it informed the Kitchen Sink Sauce. We use what we call the 80:20 rule: Eighty percent of our menu is the same everywhere, but 20 percent we customize based on local businesses we fall in love with.”

What Meyer didn’t personally request for the St. Louis location was researched and recommended by Mark Rosati, culinary director for Shake Shack. When a Shake Shack location is being developed, Rosati researches a city’s local food culture to ensure each restaurant reflects the unique flavor of that place. “He’d never had a St. Paul sandwich until [visiting St. Louis], and now he’s dissecting it and asking what we can do with it,” Meyer says.

Meyer credits his Midwest upbringing with his approach to hospitality, yet there’s another thread that runs through each of his restaurants and has helped shape his work as a restaurateur: storytelling.

“Storytelling is a really important point because I think people can taste and smell and feel authenticity, and they can look and taste and smell the absence of authenticity,” Meyer says.

For Meyer, nothing feels more authentic than the new Shake Shack in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood.

“The reason I’m tickled and having so much fun right now is that it couldn’t possibly get more authentic than this for me, or real,” Meyer says. “My grandparents lived a half a block from [the new location]. My dad was raised half a block from here. I was born a half a block in the other direction. I didn’t pick this location – my team did – but I couldn’t have picked a closer bull’s-eye; this is where it all started. I feel really, really moved and grateful.”

St. Louis is clearly grateful, as well: In addition to the wave of support St. Louis chefs showed Meyer on opening day, the Central West End location was met with a formidable line and much fanfare. The Dec. 11 grand opening included a ribboncutting with St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson, who proclaimed it Danny Meyer/Shake Shack Day in the municipality.

“I’m glad that St. Louis feels proud of me, but I just know that St. Louis is exactly why we’ve had any success that we’ve had,” Meyer says. “It’s exactly why – it’s all about heart. People want to go to places that are happy to see them, and a hug is mutual.

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT: Feature Story

A Fast FaVorite HERBIE’S

By Amanda Dahl | Photo by Gregg Goldman

Y

ou walk through the doors of any restaurant and bar, hoping for a fun time with friends or family and a good meal. You walk through Herbie’s doors, though, and you discover something much more: a place that puts you at ease, invites you to sit back and laugh while sharing a drink with an old pal. A place that inspires, with creative cuisine and a few of your favorite noshes. This is your Cheers, your Central Perk, your home away from home. Welcome to Herbie’s.

“There are so many awesome ways to experience Herbie’s at any time of the year,” owner Aaron Teitelbaum says. “In nice weather, we have a 100-seat patio. Our lively, bustling bar hosts live music on Wednesday and Thursday of every week. We also have four private rooms that can seat anywhere from eight to 80 people.”

From a weekend brunch to a date night dinner to birthday or corporate parties, the dining and drinking establishment proves that it is ready to entertain you and your company, no matter the Photo by Elisabeth Wiseman occasion. With the introduction of new teammates, Herbie’s has an even bigger recipe for success cooking in the kitchen.

“Jeramie Mitchell, who has been with us since Oct., took over as executive chef and launched new brunch, lunch and dinner menus on Dec. 1,” he says.

“Jeramie has trained in Florida for years. He is first in Floridian-style cuisine,

but marries classical French technique and American flavors with Asian cuisines.”

Mitchell’s menus present exciting, enjoyable dishes for customers to savor. With a few staple items remaining, including the Beef Wellington, you can also sample new items, like soy caramel salmon or barramundi pepita, which incorporates traditional ingredients found in Hispanic cooking.

“I am classically French-trained and I believe the flavors go so well with Asian cuisine,” Teitelbaum shares. “It is reminiscent to me of what we originally did at Herbie’s, as well as my other restaurant Monarch, when it was open.”

Since last year’s move from the Central West End to Clayton, Herbie’s new location has allowed for more growth.

“The dining room offers an elegant, modern dining experience,” Teitelbaum says. “Austin Martinez, our head of service, has brought in a crisp style of service that pairs well with our team. We still have floor managers that people will find familiar, including Sean Gallagher, who really knows our customers.”

By marrying comfort and class with creativity, Herbie’s shows that it has what it takes to bring you back, time after time.
