On the cover 10 At Rohan Woods School in Warson Woods, children ages 2 through Grade 6 benefit from small classes and a Project Approach to elementary education. For their first project of the year, students in the first, second and third grades elected to study the grocery store. Students chose different departments – from pharmacy to checkout to floral – and learned about not only the work it takes to operate them but also how important they are to shoppers. To learn more about the Project Approach, attend the school’s open house on Thursday, Feb. 15, from 9 to 11 a.m. For more information or to RSVP, call 314-821-6270 or visit hello.rohanwoods.org/LadueNews.

EDITOR ‌FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I’VE LOVED COFFEE MUGS – plain, bold, adorned with sassy sayings, big, small, I love them all. It wasn’t until recently, though, when I was unable to close the kitchen cabinet where I store my mugs, that I realized I may have a slight obsession. It seems that I’m not the only person who has a passion for mugs – while I enjoy using and collecting them, others enjoy making them. In the department of caffeine-related curious, starting on p. 75, check out copy editor and staff writer Bryan A. Hollerbach’s feature on Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design’s exhibit, “Identi-TEA,” featuring teapots that are true works of art. The exhibit, which runs until March 18, will feature 70 teapots that are representations of 58 artists nationwide. We hope you enjoy reading about what inspired the teapot designs featured in the exhibit and take a moment to peruse the tea-rrific works of art in person. Also in this week’s edition is the annual We Love Our Neighborhoods special section. Starting on p. 31, meet 20 local families and learn where they like to dine, shop and explore in their community. All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

OPEN HOUSE Thursday, Feb. 15. from 9 to 11 a.m. Rohan Woods School

ROHAN WOODS SCHOOL

Held during the school day, prospective students and their parents will have the opportunity to speak with faculty and current students. Head of school Sam Templin-Page envisions the event as “an experience, in real-time, of what we’re like during the day.”

Life

Where Learning Comes to

ecall the classroom in Charlie Brown:: desks are filled with young minds, bored stiff and eyes glazed. Presiding over these disinterested Peanuts characters is a teacher whose instruction is unintelligible: “Wah, wah, woh, wah, wah.” If only Charlie, Linus and Lucy had known about Rohan Woods School. There surely would have been more celebratory dancing. Founded in 1937 by Helen Towles Rohan and Mary Woods, this independent school, located in Warson Woods, serves children ages two through grade six. “Mrs. Rohan and Mrs. Woods started the school with 12 children,” notes head of school Sam Templin-Page. “They wanted to provide an educational opportunity for kids to learn in a small environment. It’s transformational for some students.” With a maximum class size of 15 children, Rohan Woods students excel in a more personal learning environment. Unlike traditional programs in which students learn exclusively with sameaged peers, Rohan Woods promotes mixed-aged learning. “One thing that’s unique about our school is that we have a focus on leadership,” says TemplinPage. “Our students are in mixed-aged groups frequently for Project and specialty classes. They’re not in isolation with sameaged peers. They have to interact with all different ages.” Rohan Woods also sets itself apart through its innovative, project-based curriculum. Introduced to the school in 2016, the Project Approach promotes group learning and encourages students to pursue topics that spark their curiosity. “The Project Approach gives kids a lot of ownership in their learning,” emphasizes Templin-Page. Students at Rohan Woods learn to ask questions, conduct research and gain expertise in particular subjects. At Rohan Woods, students develop crucial critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while also cultivating creativity and collaboration. “The Project Approach allows

students to hone these soft skills while incorporating all of the academic skills, as well,” underscores Templin-Page. “Students receive academic instruction in core subjects, but are then able to apply that knowledge in a realm of their interest.” For this year’s fifth- and sixth-graders, that realm happens to be the Lego Group. “We have 11- and 12-year-olds analyzing trends in the company’s business and marketing plans,” says Templin-Page. Other students are investigating the educational potential of Legos. “They came up with these questions on their own,” marvels TemplinPage. “It’s been fascinating to listen to their conversations.” Students in the first, second and third grades turned their focus to the grocery store, examining its various departments, infrastructure and operations. “They started analyzing the cost of brand names versus store brands,” says Templin-Page. “It was really interesting for them to discover that you have to budget and that you need to shop accordingly. They became aware of needing to eat balanced meals and of how much that really costs. It was so palpable to them.” The students even took a field trip to a local grocery store and met with its management team, who walked them through each department. After this excursion, they returned to school and began realizing a grocery store of their own. Working in pairs, students adopted their own departments, ranging from pharmacy to check-out. One pair selected the produce department, creating produce to display and to “sell.” Another pair was responsible for the floral department and crafted both flowers and vases. At the end of the term, students in each grade stage culminating events, where they share the knowledge that they’ve gleaned in their projects. “This is a very warm community,” declares Templin-Page. “People tell me that they feel at home after they’ve been here for just 15 or 20 minutes. We hope that parents and their children will come to our Open House and see why.”

he Special Education Foundation hosted Heroes With Heart at the Bogey Club to honor the foundation’s former longtime executive director, Diane Buhr, for her commitment and contributions to it. The event, held approximately every other year, honors an individual whose contributions to the foundation’s mission deserve high praise and special recognition. The selected “hero” has demonstrated longstanding commitment, outstanding leadership and tireless efforts on behalf of the children the foundation serves. Buhr retired as executive director July 1, 2017, to be succeeded by David M. Diener. However, she continues to serve the foundation as its contract grant writer.

asterseals Midwest’s 34th annual festival didn’t disappoint, with many silent and live auction items (many uniquely seasonal), including the always-popular pre-decorated trees, small and large, as well as gorgeous wreaths and specialty wines and spirits. Holiday cheer packed the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel St. Louis-Chesterfield to its rafters. That festival and related events enable Easterseals Midwest to provide high-quality disability services through a variety of programs such as Early Childhood, Community Living, Employment and Autism Services. Guests lingered for the after-party, featuring music from Griffin and the Gargoyles.

Planning Outdoor Projects Now By Todd Bachmann | Photos supplied by Mosby Building Arts

‌D

on’t wait until you’ve ditched your parka for shorts and flip-flops to start planning a new outdoor space. If you want to enjoy that space for the coming spring and summer, in fact, start planning now. Whether an outdoor kitchen, a patio or a deck, it will take time to design, organize and construct. Starting now gives you that time – time to have your alfresco addition done for, say, a nice Memorial Day barbecue. So when planning your outdoor space, keep these three things in mind: 1. Location. Accessibility to the space, privacy, property boundaries, water drainage, landscaping and scenery all come into play when planning outdoor spaces. With outdoor kitchens, say, consider the layout of plumbing, electrical and gas lines. Also, less structurally, consider how long regrowing grass will take. After all, most outdoor projects entail tearing up part of the yard – and few folks would find it ideal to have a new outdoor space bordered or even surrounded by barren land. Regard that as another benefit of starting your project earlier rather than later. 2. Features. Outdoor living spaces can be as simple or as elaborate as desired. Some homeowners

26 February 2, 2018 | LadueNews.com

just want somewhere to sit and relax, while others want to bring inside amenities outside – amenities like TVs, sound systems, fireplaces, lighting, and even heating and cooling elements. In that respect, recognize that the number and complexity of features will impact not only your project’s price but also its timeline. 3. Materials. With an array of materials available for every project, take care in considering what’s best for yours. For decks, for instance, ask yourself whether you want wood or composite. Patios, meanwhile, can involve poured concrete that can be stamped, molded or tinted for a variety of styles; they also can involve pavers, whether from brick, concrete or natural stone. All materials, moreover, entail a different degree of maintenance that you should contemplate. In conclusion, to successfully execute an outdoor project that hits all of these points, either do your “home homework” conscientiously, or consider hiring an experienced company with a history of designing and building such spaces. At the end of the day, succeeding will demand that someone – whether you or someone you’ve hired – take everything into account for that new outside kitchen, patio or deck.

Helping

Community RISE the

AFTER

BEFORE

Neighborhoods, in part or in whole, can shine with guidance and other assistance from the local nonprofit Rise.

or more than 20 years, Rise has worked to revitalize communities and neighborhoods across the St. Louis region, partnering with nonprofits, financial institutions and government entities to bring change. Since its creation in 1989, the organization has helped develop more than 5,000 homes and just over 100,000 square feet of commercial space, helping communities as a consultant, lender and community developer. With a comprehensive approach that envelopes all stages of neighborhood development, Rise can help breathe life back into areas of the city that have seen disinvestment (defined as “a diminution or expenditure of capital investment, as in the failure to replenish inventories or in the sale of a capital item”).

i a sm

on a ing t

n d h er

son, Jarell S ands.

Stephen Acree, the organization’s executive director and president, has been with Rise since 1999 and has worked in community development for more than 30 years. He says seeing a community rejuvenated, as well as knowing Rise played a part in that rejuvenation, is rewarding. “We tend to work in parts of the region that have seen disinvestment and need some help to come back,” he says. “We do a substantial amount of real estate development. We’ll work with a neighborhood and an organization to help them do organizational planning and community neighborhood planning.” From there, Rise might be a first-end developer. If an area has been suffering from disinvestment and isn’t seen as profitable, Rise often takes the first step to do development in the area. “The notion is to catalyze [the area] so other investment will follow,” Acree says. Rise started working on development on a small scale, partnering with neighborhood organizations to do a few buildings at a time. They would provide investment in an early phase of development, leading to an “extremely active and very effective” predevelopment loan fund. “[The fund] provided a source of financing early on that organizations could use to get their project to a bank for financing,” Acree says. He uses St. Louis’ Forest Park South

East neighborhood as an example. Rise started working in the area in the early 2000s to “prime the pump.” There was neighborhood planning in the area, but a lot of nuisance behavior and crime was emanating from the poorly managed rental properties there. “It was a bad time for that neighborhood,” Acree recalls. Rise put together a package and bought 36 of the buildings in a three- by four-block area. The organization did historic rehabilitation, put the buildings under professional property management and converted 12 of them to single-family homes. “That was very intentionally designed to be a substantial enough intervention to try to catalyze additional investment,” Acree says. “That’s been more of our model since: to try to do things that are a little more impactful.” Rehabilitation of entire neighborhoods takes a lot of work. Residents want to keep the historic context of their neighborhood intact. They don’t want to see demolition, Acree says. These properties are often scattered throughout an area, making them a challenge for a typical developer. That’s why we have a place in fulfilling that role,” Acree says. “One of the difficulties we have in the work that we do is that these [projects] don’t happen in short time frames. These are projects that can take three or four years to get going, and the life cycle of turning around a neighborhood can be a decade-long process,” Acree says. Rise partners with community development nonprofits all over the St. Louis area, providing them with the financial backing and expertise they need to make an impact on their neighborhood. In 2018, Rise is working toward closing on

a historic rehabilitation development in St. Louis’ Dutchtown neighborhood. The project includes 46 apartments and an area of Chippewa Street’s former commercial district that will feature a restaurant incubator and space for retailers and services. Rise also found an opportunity to work with St. Louis’ youth while doing planning for the Gravois/Jefferson area. The team discovered a surge of interest from young people in the community, wanting to be involved in their evolving environs. “We made a big effort to do youth engagement there and found that a lot of the youth population would like to be involved in the change they want to see in their community, but they didn’t know how to be connected,” Acree says. “We’re entering into a partnership with the St. Louis Internship Program to have a youth-employment program that’s focused on planning and community development.” Over the years, Rise has built a reputation as a professional organization that’s committed to its mission, backed by a team of people who are a part of that team because “this is truly what they want to do,” according to Acree. “We’ve built and sustained a reputation as being an organization that gets things done,” he says. “I get to run an organization where people want to come to work and really believe in the work we do.”

BENTINGS

BALLWIN

By Connie Mitchell | Photo by Jon Saucier

Kim, Tyson, Hailey, Whitney and Eric Benting

n 2007, Eric and Kim Benting moved to Ballwin, motivated by the area’s Rockwood School District and “wonderful neighborhoods,” Kim says. “We wanted a place where our family would have neighbors with children our kids’ ages, with safe places to play and ride their bikes, with shopping, with restaurants and other conveniences nearby. We also liked Ballwin for its proximity to both I-44 and I-64/Highway 40 for work commutes and getting downtown.” The couple owns and operates a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Sunset Hills and keeps busy with their three children, ages 14, 11 and 7.

Describe a perfect weekend or day in Ballwin. Where would you eat, shop, play and relax? A perfect day in Ballwin is a day at Castlewood State Park, getting out to enjoy a hike, run or bike ride, beautiful scenery and a great way to be outside. The day may start with breakfast at The Shack and end with dinner at Marcella’s Mia Sorella or Circle 7 Ranch.

What is your favorite event, festival or time of year in Ballwin and why? We love the Ballwin Beer Festival. It’s a great event to spend with friends and enjoy the weather, the park, great music, and local food and beverages. The Circle 7 Ranch group does a great job putting the event together.

What do you think is Ballwin’s best-kept secret? Castlewood State Park. It’s a beautiful park with a lot to offer and right in our backyard here in Ballwin – for sure a best-kept secret. I’d also say our other great parks are a secret. We love Ferris Park, Vlasis Park and New Ballwin Park.

What would you say to someone who may be considering a move to Ballwin? Ballwin is a great community that offers the best education you can find, affordable housing at a variety of price points, nearby shopping and restaurants, and an easy commute to downtown and business centers.

Her sports interests also included diving for the Brentwood Gators swim team and dancing with Brentwood Dance School. “It was a busy childhood, to say the least,” she notes. Now married with two children and the owner of Professional Massage Therapy in the heart of Brentwood, Salama notes, “My personal childhood and upbringing set the foundation as to why Brentwood was our first choice to raise our family. Before then, Brentwood was a prime location for an active lifestyle and professional careers. Additionally, Brentwood’s landscape and development have emerged to make it a desirable city for us.”

Love Where You Live!

What are your children’s favorite spots in Brentwood? They both enjoy [Ladue’s] Tilles Park for nature walks, meeting new friends at the playground, feeding ducks and the wonderful Christmas light display at Winter Wonderland. They really enjoy the Brentwood Swim Club during the summer and can’t wait to try out the new slides that were recently installed.

Describe a perfect weekend or day in Brentwood. Where would you eat, shop, play and relax? Frank Papa’s Ristorante is the best choice for dinner. It has fantastic food, and the veal is to die for! The Vault Luxury Resale is perfectly located two blocks from our house, and we love shopping there. The staff is very friendly and so helpful with finding great clothes and accessories at great prices. We play tennis at Hanley Park as a family and always have a great time.

What do you think is Brentwood’s best-kept secret? Brentwood is a smaller town perfectly located off Highway 40 only 15 minutes from downtown St. Louis, with easy access to the Saint Louis Zoo, Saint Louis Science Center and City Museum. The Brentwood School District is smaller than the surrounding districts, which contributes to a lower student-teacher ratio.

5505 LINDELL | 5505Lindell.com

hen you’ve lived in the same neighborhood for 43 years, you see a lot of change. For Jim and Nanci Bobrow, this has been part of the Central West End’s charm. “It’s been wonderful to see the rejuvenation,” Nanci says. “The Central West End has endured, and we have been witness.” She and her husband moved to their stately home on Kingsbury Place from Brooklyn more than four decades ago for Jim’s residency and fellowship in ophthalmology at Washington University in St. Louis, with the neighborhood’s proximity to Barnes-Jewish Hospital a huge attraction. Jim, a clinical professor, and Nanci, a psychologist, value the cultural diversity they experienced living and raising their now-grown children, Emily and Adam, in the historic neighborhood.

What are your favorite neighborhood perks? 4440 LINDELL #1004

We love living close to Forest Park. We’ve always utilized all the services it has to offer, from bike and running paths, nature trails, and Jewel Box to the [Saint Louis] Zoo, Saint Louis Art Museum, [Missouri] History Museum and [Saint Louis] Science Center. We are zoo parents and members, in addition to members of the art museum, history museum and science center. We love to walk, photograph nature in all seasons and attend events such as the [Great Forest Park] Balloon Race. I have attended many a Hat Luncheon, and we support Forest Park Forever, having watched “our” beloved park’s preservation over these 43 years. We enjoy Shakespeare in the Park and The Muny, unique experiences just around the corner.

Where would you spend a date night in the Central West End? 4220 MCPHERSON #204

A date night might include dinner at Brasserie [by Niche] followed by a movie at The Chase Park Plaza. We count Bissinger’s in its original and current iterations [as an attraction] and regard a box of Bissinger’s chocolate as the perfect gift, including their hand-dipped fruit. We miss the original Cafe Balaban and the unique folks who frequented it.

We take visitors around to see the grand homes of Portland, Westmoreland and Kingsbury Place, and the beautiful surroundings of these enclaves. Also, Bowood Farms is a gem for us for unique plants, gifts and a café. Bar Italia was a hangout for our children and their friends growing up, and our daughter even had her rehearsal dinner there. We enjoy its great food and ambiance, especially the patio in warm weather.

16 Ridge CRest dRive Chesterfield

Luxury new construction in the highly sought after Riverbend Estates. Gourmet-chef’s kitchen, window filled hearth room with custom stone fireplace, 5 bedrooms with main-floor master suite, 7 bathrooms, 4,200 SF not including the massive finished basement with soaring ceilings.

Truett, Corrie, Oliver, Grayson and David Marks

avid and Corrie Marks were both raised in St. Louis – even attending rival high schools – so when looking for a perfect home for them and their three children, Grayson, Oliver and Truett, the neighborhood needed to be convenient, as they still enjoyed exploring the rest of the metro area for dining, shopping and activities. David, a senior director of Software Consulting, and Corrie, an administrative assistant and a professional volunteer, found that sweet spot in Chesterfield where they also count the many great schools, down-to-earth people and safety as key features.

12824 Ladue Road Cre ve Coeur

Beautiful stately brick home sitting on 1 acre with 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, finished basement, in ground pool surrounded by tropical oasis. Grand foyer, custom crown molding and millwork, large bedrooms. Dream home in the making!

Lauren Risley 314-517-3165 lrisley@kw.com

What are some of your go-to spots in Chesterfield to eat, shop, relax and play? Circle 7, [Marella’s] Mia Sorella, The Shack, Addie’s Thai House, Babbo’s, Yia Yia’s, Laurie Solet, paperdolls, Lifetime Fitness, and Pilates and Yoga Chesterfield.

Why did you choose Chesterfield? We could get more house for the money in Chesterfield, and there are wonderful schools. Chesterfield puts us close to family, and it’s convenient for errands. We’re also close to highways, which provides easy access to the rest of St. Louis.

What might people be surprised to learn about the neighborhood?

2018 COLLECTIONS ARRIVING DAILY

There’s a beautiful walking trail behind Chesterfield Amphitheater. It meanders through a stream, around a pond, and is a great place to walk or enjoy some peace and quiet. You can easily access it from the playground or near The Awakening sculpture, which in and of itself is a sight to behold. And then, I think, Addie’s Thai House is pretty hidden. We tell many people about it, and many aren’t aware you can get such authentic, delicious Thai food in Chesterfield.

FARMERS CREVE COEUR

Jane, John, Jill and Peyton Farmer

ocated in the heart of St. Louis County, Creve Coeur has been home to the Farmer family for eight years. John, vice president of litigation at Charter, and Jill, owner of Jill Farmer Consulting, count the neighborhood as convenient for both city and county commuters, and a vibrant place to raise their kids, Peyton and Jane. “We’ve loved our public schools, parks and amenities in this warm and welcoming community,” Jill says. “It’s been a wonderful place for our family.”

What are your go-to spots in Creve Coeur? There are so many wonderful restaurants that we could eat out every night for a month and have a delicious dinner each and every time. Pretty much everything our family needs – from fantastic eateries to fabulous grocery stores to world-class physicians that are within 2 miles of our home in the heart of Creve Coeur. Some of our favorites are Silky’s Frozen Custard, The Hive, Bristol Seafood Grill, Thai Nivas [Café] … , Fit Flavors and The J Community Center.

What are your favorite neighborhood perks? The parks in Creve Coeur are real treasures. Nestled in a lovely neighborhood, Beirne Park is a favorite place for us to bike to and play tennis. Malcolm Terrace Park is a great spot to take the dogs for a walk in the woods. All of the Creve Coeur parks offer so much serenity and natural beauty right in the middle of neighborhoods.

What might people be surprised to learn about Creve Coeur? We value the diversity of our area and have really enjoyed making friends with people who have recently come from all parts of the globe, blended with folks who are third-generation Creve Coeur residents. Our neighborhood is so vibrant, with young kids out playing every day, as well as seniors walking and connecting. I love the mix of people who have deep roots in this area and those with a fresh perspective on living here – it has enriched our experience.

Lily, Claire, Jackie, Merry and Christopher Schlarman

Chicago native, Jackie Schlarman says she was a St. Louis fan long before she moved to the area. “I had extended family in St. Louis, and I just thought it was so beautiful. It seemed like it was very green and lush, and there were big lawns,” she recalls. Now Schlarman has her own lush, green lawn in Des Peres, where she lives with her four children, who range in age from 18 to 10. Schlarman, an assistant vice chancellor for marketing and communications at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, loves the neighborhood’s big trees and green space and appreciates the high-quality Kirkwood School District.

What do you love most about Des Peres? There are so many great amenities and things to do within walking distance, and the whole area has a nice neighborhood feeling. Stores, restaurants and parks are all within a mile or so of our house. Des Peres has everything you need nearby, and you feel like you’re in a close-knit community, but you’re not living on top of each other.

What are some of Des Peres’ best-kept secrets? Des Peres is more affordable than some of the surrounding areas – you get more land and house for the money. There’s also diversity in the types of buildings in Des Peres. You have everything from sprawling ranches to two-story new construction.

ELLISVILLE

Chuck, Brady, Debbie and Karsyn Newberry

huck and Debbie Newberry moved to Ellisville almost 10 years ago, choosing the area because of its beautiful neighborhoods, parks and location within the Rockwood School District. The couple’s two teenagers keep them busy with school and sports activities, including soccer for son Brady, 16, and cheerleading for daughter Karsyn, 14. “We’re also thankful for the Fountains of West County Memory Care facility, where my mother-in-law lives, which opened in Ellisville just a few years ago,” Debbie says.

Describe a perfect weekend or day in Ellisville. Where would you eat, shop, play and relax? A perfect day starts off by gong to the Ellisville Farmers Market at Bluebird Park, then staying for a concert and food trucks. Otherwise, we enjoy socializing with friends at our home or at one of the local establishments, such as corner bar Mulligan’s Grill or Walnut Grill.

What is your favorite event, festival or time of year in Ellisville – and why? Our family’s favorite event in Ellisville is the Independence Day celebration at Bluebird Park. We love to listen to local bands, have great food and enjoy fellowship with other Ellisville residents. We also love to view the wonderful fireworks from our neighborhood, which is right across the street from the park.

What neighborhood businesses do you frequent most – and why? We love to shop at Dierbergs for groceries. Our favorite donut shop is The Donut Palace. We go to C&C Butcher for great meats, and Mulligan’s Grill is our favorite neighborhood hangout for great food and fellowship – it’s similar to Cheers, “where everybody knows your name.” Our year-round favorite ice cream stop is Andy’s Frozen Custard.

hen David and Sue Chan made the move from Chicago to St. Louis, finding a neighborhood with a great school district for their children, Nathan and Kayla, was important. So Frontenac, nestled in the Ladue School District, was immediately attractive to the family. David, vice president of corporate development for Emerson, and Sue, a homemaker, now count Frontenac’s central location and easy access to major highways as neighborhood perks, as they’re kept busy with their children’s activities. But when they aren’t, you might find them spending a Saturday brunching at Brio Tuscan Grill.

How would you spend a date night in Frontenac? We’d grab a quick bite to eat at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar. They have a great happy hour in their bar area daily. Afterwards, it’s off to Plaza Frontenac to catch a movie.

Name a Frontenac hidden gem that you would recommend. Humble Pie is a hidden gem that serves up gourmet pizza from farm fresh ingredients to the table. Another hidden gem is Grassi’s [Ristorante & Deli]. It serves up yummy toasted ravioli and is famous for its Terry Sandwich.

What would you say to others thinking about moving to Frontenac? Frontenac has a lot to offer and is a great place to live. It’s very centrally located, with easy access to major highways. Plus, it has a lot of cuisine options and diverse shops. It might come as a surprise that it has a great public school system as well. Both of our kids attend school in the Ladue public school system – that was the main reason we moved to the neighborhood.

Mary, Lisa, Brigid and Bill O’Neill

“J

ust like Mayberry” and “a slice of heaven” are high praise for a neighborhood, but that’s how the O’Neills describe their home of Glendale. Bill, partner at St. Louis intellectual property law firm Senniger Powers, and Lisa, account executive for Entercom (Y98, KEZK, KMOX), live in the charming neighborhood with their daughters, Mary, who is currently off at college, and Brigid. “It’s a true community, with a small-town feel,” says Bill. “You can live here with all the advantages of a small town, but still be within a 10- to 15-minute drive to downtown St. Louis and other major attractions.”

What might people be surprised to learn about Glendale? That it is illegal to park an automobile on a Glendale street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.

What is your Glendale go-to spot? The most important go-to spot in Glendale is Hanneke’s Westwood Grocery, which serves as a grocery store, delicatessen and all-around gathering spot for Glendale residents. It is Glendale’s version of Cheers in the sense that it is truly where everybody knows your name! The first advice we give to new Glendale residents is to go to Hanneke’s and open a house charge account – then their youngsters can go there and buy candy just by signing for it! A hidden gem is Hanneke’s Westwood Catering, almost tucked in a corner of [Hanneke’s] Westwood Grocery. Many people are not aware of it or that it is the best caterer in the St. Louis area.

Where is your favorite family spot? The Glendale City Hall parking lot during one of the many community events we have, which include the annual Ice Cream Social, Jazzfest, Santa coming to town and others. The entire community gathers, and the kids run around and have a blast. When the kids were younger, we’d also take them to the Glendale Fire Station, and the firefighters would give them stickers and visit with them. Everybody knows everybody here, and neighbors and the community service departments really have your back.

In warm weather, we love to enjoy beer and tacos on the patio at Club Taco.

What would you say to someone considering a move to Kirkwood? There is something very special about Kirkwood. Events like the Greentree Festival and Turkey Day are fun for everyone and evoke such a great feeling of community pride. The school district is amazing, the people are friendly, and the setting just can’t be beat. People don’t just live in Kirkwood, they love living in Kirkwood!

In their respective schools, Hanna Woods Elementary, Parkway South Middle and Parkway South High, they are each cared about as individuals and challenged to meet their potential.” Elizabeth is even more connected to Parkway schools through her role as a parent educator with Parkway Early Childhood, while her husband, Adam, works in sales for UniGroup Inc.

Describe a perfect weekend or day in Manchester. Where would you eat, shop, play and relax? As a family, we love summers in Manchester. We can walk or ride bikes to Chadwick Pool, which has a great community feel. The lifeguards know the kids’ names. Our kids swim with the Chadwick Swim Club, so Monday nights are spent cheering swimmers with “Eat My Bubbles” scrawled in Sharpie on their backs. Chadwick is one of those places that allows food, so once a week we all meet up after Adam’s work and have a picnic dinner poolside. Sometimes we play family tennis on the Parkway South High School courts or at Schroeder Park. The teenagers love to trek down Hanna Road to Tropical Sno Shaved Ice for a snow cone.

What is your favorite event/festival or time of year in Manchester and why? We love the high school homecoming parade! The morning of the parade, we gather with friends on a nearby corner. Our golden retriever even comes along. The adults catch up with each other, and the kids lunge for the candy that is thrown. Some of the cars and floats even throw dog biscuits! We cheer on friends in the band, on a gymnastics float or with the Girl Scouts. It feels like a small slice of Americana.

eremy and Rachel Mapp moved into their Maplewood home because their family was expanding – just not in the typical way. The couple serve as house parents for Joe’s Place, a home for underserved and homeless teenage boys in the Maplewood-Richmond Heights School District. Joe’s Place provides a stable and supportive home within walking distance of the high school so the teens can focus on succeeding in school. Outside of their house-parent duties, Jeremy works as a teacher at Maplewood Elementary, and Rachel is an adult educator and trainer. The Mapps – who have a little one of their own, 2-year-old Harris – both have their real estate licenses and advise any families looking to move to Maplewood to act fast, as homes are being rapidly snatched up.

What are some of your favorite places to eat, drink and shop in Maplewood? We love Maven for gifts or Vom Fass and Kakao Chocolate. For drinking and dining, we like Boogaloo, The Muddled Pig, Blue Duck or The Maya Cafe.

What would a perfect Saturday morning look like for your family? If the weather is nice, we’d walk with Harris to Strange Donuts for breakfast and then on to Sutton Loop Park.

What would you tell people who are thinking about a move to Maplewood? Get ready to be part of a giving community. They’ve probably already heard about the great shopping and dining, but it’s such a well-supported and generous neighborhood. It’s like an old-school small town, with block parties where neighbors stay outside late and visit, school activities that everyone gets involved in and families just supporting families.

Mindy appreciates the eclectic vibe of Olivette and notes, “We have the best neighbors!”

Describe a perfect weekend or day in Olivette. Where would you eat, shop, play and relax? A perfect day would be walking our dog to Starbucks at Olive and Price for coffee, watching the kids play basketball and then going to Stacy Park with our kids and our cousins, who also live in Olivette.

ichmond Heights’ central location and the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District drew Bob and Michelle Hagen to the area as newlyweds 15 years ago. Bob owns Hagen Properties, a commercial real estate company, while Michelle is completing her teaching certification in art education at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and working as a student-teacher at Logos School in Olivette.

What are your children’s favorite spots in Richmond Heights? We have three daughters, ages 24, 13 and 11, and a granddaughter. My girls love the Richmond Heights Memorial Library, and our 13-year-old volunteers there during the summer. They also like Mr. Wizards Frozen Custard and Yogurt.

A perfect day in Richmond Heights for Michelle would include lunch at Mai Lee, shopping at Crate & Barrel, cocktails at Basso and a late movie at the HiPointe Drive-In. Bob would enjoy a cooking class at the Weber Grill Restaurant, shopping at Big Shark Bicycle Co., then a visit to Starrs to pick out an interesting bottle of wine. And Tropicana Lanes is great for family fun!

own and Country boasts aspects of rural country living while being centrally located within St. Louis County. For Matt, managing director of Koch Development, and Erin Stack, owner of Pure Hot Yoga, that made it hard to pass up for their family. Originally from St. Charles and Kirkwood, respectively, Matt and Erin reside in Town and Country with their daughters, Stella and Remy. “It is easy to get anywhere in St. Louis from Town and Country,” Matt says. “It has quaint neighborhood shopping like Mason Woods Village, but is just around the corner from major shopping malls and daily convenience needs.”

What would you say to others to encourage them to move to your neighborhood? That Town and Country really has everything – from higher education to tremendous public and private K-12 to a world-class hospital, where both our daughters were born, to a nationally recognized golf club to tremendous parks, all within the boundary of Town and Country. We are really looking forward to the completion of Town Square.

What is a hidden gem in Town and Country that you would recommend? Drace Park.

UNIVERSITY CITY

By Connie Mitchell | Photo by Sarah Conroy

February 1st March 15th

Braxton, Jameca and Jameson Falconer

licensed psychologist with Emergence Psychological Services, Dr. Jameca Falconer loves University City’s diversity and proximity to other metro areas. Her perfect day in her neighborhood includes a trip to the Midtown Farmers Market and a stroll around the Delmar Loop, “watching people and enjoying the energy.” If her two sons, ages 11 and 15, are along, a stop at froYo is a must. She especially loves summer in University City, enjoying the greenery and the crowds drawn to the area.

What do you think is University City’s best-kept secret? I think most people underestimate the amount of diversity in University City. A little bit of all cultures exist here. I believe that University City has a great mix of various demographics. African-American, Middle Eastern, Asian-American and Jewish, as well as older and younger people.

What do you think distinguishes University City from other St. Louis neighborhoods? University City to me is different from other places as a result of the values and beliefs of the residents. This is an area where your differences are welcomed. You definitely cannot say that about lots of areas in St. Louis.

What do you love most about living in University City? I love the people and the flavor of University City. It is a small part of the metro area that feels much like larger cities. I love the food, energy and the people. There isn’t much that I do not love about University City!

What would you say to someone who may be considering a move to University City? I would say that I highly recommend it! Do it! You will not be sorry.

da Early dreamed of living in a grand old home and found just what she was looking for in Webster Groves. “Webster was the perfect place to find a great old house,” she says. “Plus, we had many friends in the community, and it is a close commute to Washington University, where we both work.” Ida is secretary to the board of trustees, and Gerald serves as the Merle Kling Professor of Modern Letters. The couple, whose children are grown, also donate time to a number of boards, including Care and Counseling, Women of Achievement, Jazz St. Louis, Provident and the St. Louis Public Library Foundation.

What do you think distinguishes Webster Groves from other St. Louis neighborhoods? The large stock of 100-plus-year-old houses that are in great shape really set Webster apart from other communities and give it character. There’s a lot of housing variety in Webster, it’s a great community for walking, and the people are friendly.

Describe a perfect weekend or day in Webster Groves. Where would you eat, shop, play and relax? It would include a continental breakfast at Panera Bread, groceries at Straub’s and fresh veggies at Roger’s Produce. Then I would pick up my dry cleaning at Suburban Cleaners, work out at the Recreation Complex or at Moss Field, enjoy a leisurely walk through historic Webster, and end the day with dinner at Dewey’s Pizza.

What do you love most about living in Webster Groves? The people. People speak when they walk past you. Also, the Webster Groves School District is very caring – our children really benefited from that care.

oe Farmer, VP of Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, grew up in Wildwood. “About five years ago, when our oldest daughter was approaching school age, it felt like the right thing to do to make our way back to a place that held such strong memories,” he says. Farmer also co-founded The Half Fund, a nonprofit organization “created to illustrate the realities of a cancer diagnosis, the good and the bad, through commercially viable mass-media projects such as films, documentaries, books and music.” Candace Farmer works at the McDonnell Genome Institute at Washington University in St. Louis and serves as the Wildhorse Township Democratic Committeewoman, and the couple has two daughters, ages 9 and 4.

Describe a perfect weekend or day in Wildwood. Where would you eat, shop, play and relax? The perfect weekend would be spent working in the yard or taking a bike ride, followed by dinner at the Big Chief Roadhouse or getting a burger from Larry’s Tavern.

What do you think distinguishes Wildwood from other St. Louis neighborhoods? Wildwood is unique for its size and incredible green space. A city founded with a plan in mind to appreciate nature that has stuck from its inception is truly something to be proud of.

About a Pout

‌A

lmost necessarily, a bold lip makes a romantic Valentine’s Day look – although achieving that look can be tricky in winter, when chapping runs rampant. In that respect, follow some or all of these five steps for producing the perfect pout or pucker – and soft, kissable lips for your sweetheart! 1. Exfoliate. Exfoliating is crucial in order to reveal soft, smooth beautiful skin. Beyond common facial exfoliation, though, sometimes we neglect our lips. In that respect, ladies, apply a sugar scrub directly to your lips to remove any dead flakes from them. 2. Moisturize. To moisturize and hydrate your lips, apply the lip balm of your choice to them. Also, to turn that application into a habit, always keep lip balm with you, applying it several times throughout the day.

By Kimmie Gotch

3. Use a lip liner. Go slightly over the line of your actual lip with a lip liner. This fosters the appearance of a slightly larger pout – but beware not to overdo it. Great for defining the shape of your lips, lip liner creates dimension before the application of lipstick. 4. Add lipstick. Whether you prefer matte, cream, liquid or any other form of lipstick, apply your fave, whatever works best at making your beau go, “Oh!” 5. Top it off. While optional, for those of you who prefer a glossy look or simply like your lips to feel more hydrated, top your lipstick with a gloss. Doing so should add a beautiful sheen to your lips. In conclusion, in the winter, caring for your lips demands every bit as much attention as caring for your skin, so put the preceding tips into practice to get the perfect pout or pucker – just in time for everything to go hearts-and-flowers!

Saint Louis Fashion Incubator

As the celebrates its first anniversary, the eyes of the fashion world are on its inaugural class of innovative designers.

•

rom Beyoncé and Carrie Underwood to Ellie Kemper and Emily Blunt, stars are shining in high-fashion ensembles created by six young design talents right here in St. Louis. Those six emerging designers are the fiber of the Saint Louis Fashion Incubator, which celebrated its first anniversary in January. The incubator is part of the twofold mission of Saint Louis Fashion Fund, an organization aimed at revitalizing St. Louis’ once-golden fashion industry through helping young designers with their own fashion lines and providing public programs to bring back the city’s historic garment district. (Read more about it in the Sept. 9, 2016, edition of Ladue News.) As Saint Louis Fashion Fund board chair Susan Sherman will proudly recount, from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, St. Louis ranked second only to New York City in the fashion world, designing and manufacturing cutting-edge clothing, shoes and accessories. Today, the fund’s fashion incubator sits on Washington Avenue – the heart of the formerly thriving garment district – and has been making industrywide waves in its first year as it fabricates a modern version of that in vogue era. The incubator has spurred success in sales and industry esteem for its inaugural class of designers, who relocated from across the country to complete a two-year residency at the St. Louis fashion facility. Among honors, two designers have won $50,000 from local entrepreneurial supporter Arch Grants: Reuben Reuel for his creative, colorful, Africaninspired Demestik women’s line and Allison Mitchell for her stunning, sustainable, handmade handbags. In addition, Mitchell received the industry’s prestigious 2017 Fashion Gallery International Rising Star Accessory Award. The incubator’s designers also have been chosen to present at the industry’s biggest events, including Agnes Hamerlik’s innovative, monochromatic luxury womenswear label at New York Fashion

Week in September, while Charles Smith II’s couture women’s line has been worn by celebrities such as Zoe Kravitz and Angela Simmons, and Emily Brady Koplar’s dynamic Wai Ming brand has been worn by stars such as actresses Ellie Kemper and Emily Blunt. Koplar also has created costumes for Saint Louis Ballet, and Audra Noyes, founder and designer of AUDRA luxury womenswear brand, designed uniforms for the World Chess Hall of Fame in St. Louis. The designers have grown their businesses through industry expert-led classes, fashion talks and runway shows, as well as the incubator’s showroom, where their lines are available for purchase. “Our designers have really found a St. Louis clientele,” Sherman says. “It’s a different experience to shop with us – the designers have face-to-face interaction with customers in St. Louis and the surrounding communities.” The incubator also has immersed the community in the fashion industry through its public programs. Its Miki’s Closet fashion truck has made interactive appearances at signature St. Louis locales such as the Missouri History Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum. And the organization’s Speaking of Fashion free public talks, sponsored by the Regional Arts Commission, has featured top designers such as Proenza Schouler CEO Judd Crane last year. The series will continue this year with an April talk by Victor Luis, the CEO of Tapestry (which owns the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands). Another first-year program highlight occurred last summer as André Leon Talley, the iconic former editor-at-large for Vogue fashion magazine, chose pieces from the incubator’s six designer collections to be featured in his Fluid Fashion 18 runway show. “He fell in love with our designers, looked at their lines and ended up pulling 16 or so looks for a fashion show at Saint Louis Art Museum,” Sherman says, adding that the incubator will be naming a scholarship in Talley’s honor this year. “He is so into supporting young designers interested in fashion and design careers.” As the incubator’s designers embark on the second year of their twoyear residency, they will be receiving individualized help for their fashion companies, from support with refining their business plans to digital marketing and finding investors “to take them to the next level,” Sherman says. “We know a lot of high-powered people in the industry,” she notes, adding that some of the designers will be making high-profile appearances at industry events such as Nashville Fashion Week, as well as designer trunk shows across the country. And for the first time, the incubator will offer a Fashion Camp this summer for high school students interested in learning more about the business of fashion, from draping to design and sketching to sewing. “We want to make sewing sexy again,” Sherman says. “For young people, they have this picture of workers sewing in factories. We have a modern production facility that looks like [reality-TV show] Project Runway. We want to show them what different areas of the fashion industry are really like.” Sherman says Saint Louis Fashion Fund wants the entire city, locals to tourists, excited about the future of the fashion industry – because it’s happening now, right here in St. Louis. “The eyes of New York, Paris and Los Angeles are really on us – we’re stirring things up,” she says. “It really adds more to the fabric of the city. And we’re very grateful for the support St. Louis has been giving us.” Saint Louis Fashion Fund, 1533 Washington Ave., St. Louis, 314-400-9300, saintlouisfashionfund.org

Six Notes for

FEBRUARY

When the University of Missouri hired Cuonzo Martin as its basketball coach, the perception was that he’s a great recruiter but a very average coach. But I like what I’m seeing in Columbia. He’s coaching. He’s winning. The program appears to be in good hands for years to come. I haven’t met many with more integrity in sports. This was a good hire.

Travis Ford, Saint Louis University’s head basketball coach, inherited a rough situation at SLU. The previous coaching staff didn’t recruit, although Ford did. Then suspensions happened. All of a sudden, a team that was supposed to be deep is thinner than dental floss. But don’t give up on Ford. He has two great freshmen and two great high school players on the way. The talent is coming. Stay patient.

I think one of the most interesting stories of spring training will be the performance of Adam Wainwright. Father Time usually wins every battle, and

Wainwright will turn 37 this season. Also, he’s coming off a year with a career low in innings pitched and a career high in earned run average. Waino will make $19.5 million this season, and the Cardinals probably don’t want to pay that kind of money for a guy to pitch in just the seventh inning – they want to pay that kind of money for a guy to pitch seven innings. I hope this story has a happy ending.

I’ve watched the Tanya Harding movie I, Tonya, the ABC special Truth and Lies: The Tonya Harding Story and the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary The Price of Gold. Here’s my question: Do we absolutely, positively know Tonya had anything to do with ordering the hit? She received three years’ probation and was kicked out of figure skating forever. In my opinion, it could have been a great Netflix series even it weren’t true.

When you get home at 11 o’clock every night with a wife who’s a great cook, it ruins everything. How am I supposed to turn down homemade meatballs? I’ll just have to spend more time on the treadmill.

I really felt bad about the Los Angeles Rams’ quick exit in the postseason. Seriously, I can’t understand people who live in our town who were actually rooting for Stan Kroenke’s team to succeed. I’ve been told to get over it. However, I can’t get over the fact that that man took away the NFL from us forever.

Picky, Picky!

y five grandkids range in eating style from “She’ll eat anything within arm’s reach” to “She lives on grilled cheese and plain noodles.” Still, although I’ve never seen a child starve himself or herself in more than 30 years of practice, parents fret about their children’s nutrition. In that light, you may be asking yourself, “Why won’t my child eat?” Generally, one or more of three primary reasons may apply: (1) He or she is exerting independence; (2) he or she simply isn’t hungry at the moment; or (3) (sorry mom and dad), the food tastes unappealing. That said, try these four tips to make a picky eater grow gustatorily: ‌Encourage your child to try new things without threatening his or her independence. The real value is not that he or she will eat asparagus today, but that he or she will learn to try new things and eventually like green veggies. ‌Don’t bribe or serve really small portions. Encourage your child to eat by emphasizing a food’s color, appearance, aroma and texture, not its flavor. ‌Try adding a bit of embellishment. That broccoli may become more appealing with some

ketchup or cheese sauce. ‌Rather than surrender and grab some cereal, try giving your child control over what he or she needs to try. Also, parents, consider allowing your children to help make dinner. Not only does this allow quality time between you and them, but also, kids involved in preparing their own food show more willingness to try new things. If they help mix ingredients for dinner or select the sides to be served (from your choices, of course), they may show an increased likelihood of taking ownership in the meal and want everyone to eat it. Otherwise, if you commonly hear “I’m not hungry now” during mealtime, recognize that a 2-year-old needs far fewer calories per pound than he or she did the year before, as the speed of growth slows. If food consumed at any one meal seems insufficient, evaluate your child’s intake over a three- to five-day period. Because it’s natural to prefer sweet foods to bitter ones, moreover, preparation can make a big difference. Maybe your child will like his or her vegetables roasted instead of boiled, fresh instead of canned. Try serving some things raw; your child may prefer carrots cold to cooked or firm to soft. Finally, feed your kids well, and avoid processed, prepared and junky foods. Turn off the TV, and make

Medical centers across the nation, including St. Louis, are integrating cardio-oncology into heart and cancer care.

uring American Heart Month each February, we are all reminded of the importance of cardiovascular health and risk reduction. However, some people might need to pay special attention. Cancer patients and survivors are among those with special concerns in terms of heart health, and a relatively new medical specialty is serving this unique population. The American College of Cardiology recognizes cardio-oncology as a specialty within the practice of cardiology, and major medical centers across the nation, including in St. Louis, are integrating cardio-oncology into existing heart and cancer care. Locally, Daniel Lenihan, MD, directs the Cardio-Oncology Center of Excellence at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. SLUCare Cancer Center also includes a cardio-oncology clinic. “For the past 10 to 15 years, there has been an increasing recognition that cancer therapies may have an important impact on the cardiovascular system,” says Lenihan, who is a national leader in cardio-oncology, having worked at the Texas-based MD Anderson Cancer Center and then developed the cardio-oncology program at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, before joining the Washington University faculty in 2017. “Additionally, patients who have cancer and are treated are living substantially longer than in previous decades,” he adds. This longevity means that many cancer survivors, whose cardiovascular systems already might have been affected by their cancer treatments, are also at increased risk for heart disease due to aging. Cardio-oncologists work collaboratively with oncologists to help manage and treat heart problems that might have existed before a patient undergoes cancer treatment or that may be exacerbated by that treatment. They also coordinate care with the advanced heart failure program, as needed, to treat the heart through various interventions, including surgery. “Understanding how to detect problems at their earliest time in order to correct any developing problems or, better yet, prevent them from occurring, is one of our main goals,” Lenihan says. “We try to focus on improving the patient’s health, and working with oncologists to do this is very gratifying.” Daniel Lenihan, MD Lenihan points out that cancer treatments have increased in terms of both intensity and complexity during the last decade, a development that results in more treatment success. “However, cardiac toxicities do occur, and optimally managing those cardiac issues is critical so that patients can continue on the best cancer therapy,” he says. Various types of cancer treatments have differing effects on the cardiovascular system, and patients vary widely in their cardiovascular fitness when they begin chemotherapy or radiation treatments. For some patients, cancer therapies increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, while others might experience more subtle effects, such as changes in heart rhythm, heart valve function and blood vessels. Cancer survivors, particularly those who have received a combination of treatments, such as multiple types of drugs, radiation and/or surgery, often benefit from specialized cardiovascular care. The type of cancer and location within the body also affect potential cardiac complications. “[Cancer survivors] might be in excellent shape cardiacwise, but they are certainly at a much higher risk than the general population for developing cardiac disease,” Lenihan says. “It is possible that they might only require periodic assessments – once a year or so – but at least considering what their existing cardiac status may be and how often to repeat assessments is very important.” Preventive strategies through healthy lifestyle interventions are usually very similar for cancer survivors as for the general population; however, a heart-healthy lifestyle takes on special significance for cancer patients and survivors. Lenihan notes that recent studies indicate that cancer survivors have a higher rate of hypertension, underlying heart disease and exercise limitations compared to people of the same age who have not had cancer. Addressing these issues is crucial to preventing serious heart problems. Lenihan urges cancer patients and survivors to pay special attention to their cardiac health and seek an assessment by a cardio-oncologist. “Intervening on those cardiac risk factors or detecting cardiac problems early during treatment has a great impact on overall outcomes and likely results in reversibility of any damage,” he says.

LIFESTyLE CHANgES

No one is immune from heart disease, and everyone can reduce his or her risk through a heart-healthy lifestyle, regardless of medical history, age and general health. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends some basic, yet important, lifestyle strategies that almost everyone can adopt:

❤ Use at least as many calories as you take in. ❤ Each week, aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity – or an equal combination of both. If you would benefit from lowering your blood pressure or cholesterol, the AHA recommends 40 minutes of aerobic exercise of moderate to vigorous intensity three to four times a week. ❤ Eat a variety of nutritious foods from all the food groups. The AHA and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommend the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Diet. ❤ Eat fewer nutrient-poor foods, such as foods and beverages with added sugar and salt and heavily processed foods. ❤ Don’t smoke, and avoid secondhand smoke. Although these general rules apply to most people, it’s important to talk with your primary-care physician about your specific cardiovascular risk profile and needs.

arbecue aficionados, a sweet surprise awaits you in Kirkwood! Honey Pit Smokehouse, which debuted there in December, takes its name from the use of honey in place of sugar in many recipes and features Georgia-style ’cue and sides, as well as a selection of health-conscious options. Shane Mihaljevic Sr. co-owns the restaurant with his son, Shane Mihaljevic Jr., and Zach Fagas. The Mihaljevics have experience owning and operating Imo’s Pizza locations in Oakville, Fairview Heights, and Collinsville, Illinois. Fagas’ culinary résumé, meanwhile, includes working at Sugarfire Smoke House, as well as

Buckingham’s BBQ Restaurant in Springfield, Missouri. “We’re just trying to serve the highest-quality competition-style barbecue we can,” Fagas says. “We also have a macro menu with caloric information to provide a bunch of different healthy options.” Honey Pit Smokehouse fills the space previously occupied by Steak and Rice. With new additions to both ends of the building, the restaurant covers roughly 4,000 square feet and seats 88 guests. An extensive renovation yielded an aesthetic inspired by a log cabin, complete with handmade wood tables and knotty pine walls trimmed in cedar. In the kitchen, a Myron Mixon water smoker infuses

meats with smoke and steam. According to Fagas, this enables a hot, fast cook time in contrast to the low-and-slow methods of many barbecue restaurants. Meats such as the house pulled pork are injected with marinade and rested for 12 hours before cooking. “I think people will notice the extra steps we’re taking when they come in and eat. That’s our whole basis – quality first,” Mihaljevic Jr. says. Highlights from the menu include peach-pineapple glazed baby back ribs, as well as sides like Provel mac ’n’ cheese and pit beans cooked with whole peaches. The seven house barbecue sauces range from Hawaiian to tangy vinegar.

‌Story: Authorities apprehend Susie Glenn, a young American, in Chicago prior to boarding a plane en route to a rendezvous with an Islamic State terrorist. She met him on the internet, and soon the lonely 18-year-old began to develop romantic feelings for the man she knew only from social media. Susie’s soon tried for conspiring to commit terrorist acts against the United States. Her widowed father, Alan, hires Mark Arenberg, the best defense attorney recommended to him, at a steep but necessary fee. The prosecutor, Scott Bader, is known for his intensity and his take-no-prisoners approach to winning a case. In this instance, he decides that having brilliant, Harvard-educated attorney Claire Fathi assist him will help his side, not only because of her skills but also because of her background as a practicing Muslim. Claire initially resists, not wanting to be hired, she thinks, only because of her hijab. Eventually, she decides it’s important for people to see a positive role model for Muslim women to contrast with Susie. As the trial moves forward, the prosecution and defense each line up their best strategy for justice to be served. Will the defense convince a jury that Susie was duped into aiding the Islamic State group by a manipulative recruiter? Or will the prosecution’s argument that Susie willingly and eagerly converted to the worst sort of Islamic zealots and terrorists sway the jury? Highlights: A hit in its world premiere last year at Chicago’s Northlight Theatre, Faceless provides an evening of often-provocative drama in its current incarnation at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis’ Studio Theatre. Other Info: The Rep has transported most of the creative forces behind Northlight Theatre’s debut of this sobering if sometimes soapy one-act piece written by playwright Selina Fillinger. Susaan Jamshidi and Lindsay Stock reprise their roles as Claire and Susie, respectively, as do Ross Lehman as Arenberg and Joe Dempsey as Alan. Director B.J. Jones, now in his 20th season as artistic director of Northlight, also made the 300mile trek south to the Lou as director of The Rep’s rendition. Jones keeps the story moving at a brisk clip, no easy feat considering the number of small scenes that unfold on the clever scenic design by John Culbert. That set, originated at Northlight, features a background that reminds one of an airline terminal paired with a courtroom layout in the forefront. Chicago-based sound designer Andre Pluess focuses on a Middle Eastern musical motif, while Stephan Mazurek’s projection design is highlighted by some eerie shadows that represent Susie’s terrorist contact, at times menacing with sloped shoulders while at others appearing more accessible, albeit always in the dark.

Lighting designer Heather Gilbert’s work contrasts the bright lights of the courtroom with the sinister shadows in Susie’s social media conversations. Blocking proves a bit problematic in The Rep’s production, since it seems that half the time a viewer facing the stage directly sees only the backs of the attorneys when they’re talking with others at interrogation tables. The cast does a fine job re-creating their roles, with Jamshidi and Stock carrying the primary roles of the contrasting Muslim women. Jamshidi conveys the exasperation of the educated Claire, who long since has tired of stereotypical responses to her garb and religion, but who rails as well against “Muslim Barbie,” Susie, and her mindless following of an unknown recruiter. Faceless looks at a contemporary issue in an up-closeand-personal way, often engrossing but also sometimes melodramatic. Still, it’s a look at a very real concern in the 21st century.

LadueNews.com | february 2, 2018

An art exhibition devoted to teapots steams up the Loop.

My Cat, Marilyn Andrews

FebruAry 2, 2018 | LadueNews.com

rt elevates, for good or for ill, effectively quantizing the quotidian – as established, delectably, by a free current exhibition celebrating the humble teapot. “Identi-TEA,” that exhibition, will run till March 18 under the auspices of the nonprofit Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design at its Delmar Loop gallery and shop in University City from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. “This year, we’re presenting a national juried show with Bruce W. Pepich, the executive director and curator of collections of the Racine Art Museum and the Charles A. Wustum Mu Museum of Fine Arts [in Wisconsin],” says Stefanie Kirkland, the center’s director of exhibitions and artists-in-residence programs. “He selected 70 teapots, representing the work of 58 artists nationwide.” A utilitarian prodigy, the teapot, historically, has embraced both the lowbrow and the high-, joyously. Consider, for instance, “I’m a Little Teapot,” the potentially maddening 1939 ditty by George Harry Sanders and Clarence Kelley. Also, conversely, consider the refinement and elegance of the centuries-old Japanese Way of Tea, chadō (sometimes transliterated otherwise). From song to ceremony, from the British Brown Betty to the Slavic samovar, the teapot has established itself through the better part of two millennia – having reportedly originated in China during the Yuan dynasty, dating from 1271 to 1368, give or take – as a mundane marvel. Now in its 16th iteration, “Identi-TEA” – which opened Jan. 12 and continued the next day with a juror’s talk by Pepich, who, at the Racine Art Museum, has “assembled one of the most significant contemporary craft collections found in any art museum in North America,” according to the center’s website – salutes the potential diversity of a common household device. “One of the many wonderful things about this show is that the seemingly simple form of the teapot is continually reinterpreted in so many creative ways, time and time again – it’s truly delightful,” Kirkland says. “All of the work in this show was selected because of its quality, but some highlights would be the work of Billie Jean Theide, who’s a professor of art in the School of Art + Design at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, as well as both the inaugural James Avery Endowed Chair in the College of Fine and Applied Arts and the Chair of Crafts, all also at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. [Theide]’s work is constructed of vintage Duratone plastic-coated cards overlain on birch. They’re great forms, and her use of pattern creates a tantalizing surface design. “Another artist, Eric Serritella, specializes in hand-carved trompe l’oeil vessels transformed into birch and weathered logs. Artist Jimmy Liu’s teapots are fanciful and playful; one teapot is of two rabbits playing chess together, and the other is a monkey astronaut hanging onto a spacecraft.” Earlier iterations of the exhibition included Mary Ann Spavins Owen’s Don’t Count Your Teapots Before They Hatch, a sweet ornithological jape; Larry Page’s Metropolis Tea Pot 2, a conflation of Earl Grey and an Erector Set; and Rimas VisGirda’s Looong Tall Sally, a quasicubist conceit. That brief roster of participants past and present suggests the potential geographic scope of this 16th “Identi-TEA.” Liu hails from St. Louis; Page from Collinsville. Otherwise, though, Serritella lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Spavins Owen in Colton, New York; and VisGirda (Theide’s husband) in the Urbana-Champaign area. “People are always delighted to see the show,” Kirkland says. “A teapot is such a familiar object in so many cultures all over the world that I think viewers are not only impressed by the creativity of the artists’ voices but also pleasantly surprised that these forms can still be so vital and fresh.” Sales of and from the exhibition’s teapots make “a great way to not only support a local artist but support an organization like Craft Alliance, which provides programming to so much of the St. Louis community,” says Kirkland, who adds that the prices of pieces in “Identi-TEA” typically range from $60 to a whistleworthy $20,000. She concludes by briefly reflecting further on the delicious diversity of “Identi-TEA.” “Some artists appear in consecutive exhibitions – but never the same teapot,” Kirkland says. “That’s what makes this show so exciting. Everything changes, and new things happen each year.”

MAGGIE ROBERTSON

ike a constellation previously undiscovered, Maggie Robertson’s Dark Stars explodes gloriously in one’s figurative telescopic eyepiece and thereby flirts with an almost mythopoeic impact. That 47.5- by 56-inch work dates from last year, notes Robertson, a Webster Groves resident, and focuses on a ragged equine silhouette rendered on vellum with acrylic, charcoal, silver leaf and (delightfully) blue eye shadow. “My work is created with an early photographic process called cyanotype printing, in which light-sensitive chemistry is applied to paper with a brush and allowed to dry,” relates Robertson. “Once dry, I place my original designs created with plants and paper cutouts on top, and then it’s exposed to sunlight. The paper’s then rinsed in water. “It’s at this point in the process that the inherent color begins to emerge. The resultant unique and individual images are a beautiful Prussian blue that has largely unpredictable undulations and variances that are what attract me to this process.” Robertson holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a master’s degree in (incongruously) biomedical visualization from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Most recently, she’s been teaching art to third- and fourth-graders at St. Margaret of Scotland School in St. Louis’ Shaw neighborhood, as well as throughout the middle school there. Robertson continues to reflect on the work in question, whose outline, subtly if disquietingly, includes the rudiments of a horse’s circulatory system rendered in gray – as if textbooks on astronomy and equestrian veterinary medicine had somehow mingled. “In the case of Dark Stars, I exposed the work once and then reapplied the photosensitive chemistry in a second layer and repeated the process, thus creating a double exposure,” Robertson says. “I also continued to work on the piece with a few other media, such as acrylic and charcoal. The eye shadow’s a subtle but visually interesting bit of sparkle that’s only visible in the right light.” She characterizes Dark Stars as “a pivotal work in which I began to

push the traditional use of cyanotype printing. It’s one of my first pieces that I went large with and exposed more than once to see what the results would be. There was a good bit of experimenting going on in this piece. I also started to go back into the piece with other media to further enhance the imagery. “It’s become an important piece in a larger body of work I’m currently immersed in. I hope to conjure ideas of a hidden animal world, full of ceremony, celebration, prophecy and providence. I like to imagine there’s a story unfolding

By Bryan A. Hollerbach Image courtesy of Maggie Robertson

The eye shadow’s a subtle but visually interesting bit of sparkle that’s only visible in the right light. – MAGGIE ROBERTSON here, a fable, that I don’t know but have caught a glimpse of.” Beyond such quasi-shamanic considerations, Robertson concludes by

noting that she hopes to exhibit Dark Stars and related works although she lacks gallery representation – at least for the moment.
