EDITOR HERE AT LADUE NEWS, WE TAKE PRIDE IN SHARING THE BEST OF THE best with our readers. We know that our audience consists of the tastemakers of the metro area – the trendsetters, the innovators, the influencers – and it’s our mission to help you stay ahead of the curve.

That includes sharing top finds in luxury real estate, like The Artizen on West Pine, showcased starting on page 23. LN digital editor and staff writer Andrea Smith gives readers a tour of these stunning new town houses, located in St. Louis’ Central West End, in this week’s Abode feature and details the artistic vision behind the development.

It also means relaying the hottest fashion trends of the moment, just as this week’s Style feature does.

Starting on page 33, LN fashion guru Katie Yeadon shows readers five romantic looks to spark inspiration this winter.

And don’t think we’d miss out on sharing important work currently being displayed in our local art scene. Starting on page 52, LN copy editor and staff writer Bryan A. Hollerbach profiles St. Louis artist Ken Worley and his new exhibition at the Duane Reed Gallery.

to help you stay in the know about them all.

Editor’s Corner The word around town

The Arya Foundation will host its second annual Disability Awareness Convention on Sunday, Feb. 23, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel St. Louis-Chesterfield to spread awareness about everyday heroes.

This free event, from noon to 5 p.m., has information sessions, guest speakers, vendors, crafts, dancing and more. The Arya Foundation’s mission is to provide needs-based adaptive equipment to children with special needs in the metro area.

“Not everyone can afford the medical supplies and equipment that are necessary in a child’s life,” reads the website.

“By providing need-based adaptive equipment to these families, the costs become lower and easier to afford. It is our way of alleviating some stress from the families we help.”

cancer diagnosis affects more than the person receiving it. It shakes families, even communities. Fortunately, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society [LLS] is there to reach out with a community of its own, one full of love and support – and, most importantly, resources.

LLS builds its community of support through empowering programs, like Students of the Year. This philanthropic leadership development program guides highly motivated high schoolers through a journey of professional growth. Through a seven-week campaign, these students raise funds in honor of a local survivor – this year, they do it for Emma.

“Emma was starting spring hockey,” Joshua Pullam recalls of his daughter’s diagnosis. “She was having a hard time keeping up. She was really exhausted and coughing.” A visit to the doctor revealed that Emma’s lung had collapsed. An immediate visit to the emergency room then led to the revelation that she had cancer.

“She gets knocked down but she keeps getting back up,” Pullam says. “That’s the type of person she is.”

Thanks to Students of the Year, Emma isn’t fighting alone. Through the program, candidates raise money in her honor, all while learning to utilize professional skills such as networking, financial planning, project management and public speaking. Each dollar raised counts toward a vote, culminating in a grand finale celebration on April 3 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac Hotel, where the team with the most votes is named Student(s) of the Year and receives a scholarship from LLS. LLS also recognizes the critical role oncology nurses play in a child’s care. To honor their incredible work, care and dedication, the organization celebrates the “Pediatric Oncology Nurse of the Year” at the Students of the Year’s 2020 grand finale. Each children’s hospital has nominated one standout nurse: Karen Imperiale of SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, Mollie Ring of Mercy Hospital St. Louis and Amy Tucker of St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Since 2017, LLS has seen 46 therapies through FDA approval as it continues to fight for better treatment options and, someday, a cure. The organization’s holistic approach delivers valued resources, like co-pay assistance programs, family support groups and patient binders, to alleviate the burdens of those battling cancer and allow them to focus on getting better and returning to a sense of normalcy.

Today, 11-year-old Emma is back in school and competing in her favorite sport. “With all the things Emma has battled, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for her life,” Pullam says. “She’s going to be someone great, I know it.”

LLS gifts a future to children – and you can too by supporting this cause.

Viji and Bala Vanukuru

I’ve had the pleasure of serving on the board of The National Children’s Cancer Society for over 25 years and board chair for the past 10 years. My dedication to the organization stems from the very important need the organization fulfills for families battling childhood cancer. If it weren’t for the NCCS, many children and their families would have struggled with medical expenses and supporting their family while their child was undergoing treatment. To see a child that has recovered from cancer with the support from the NCCS is most rewarding.

A Biodiversity Crisis

T

he first horticultural herald of spring is invasive bush honeysuckle – alas!

As the first woody plant to leaf out, it’s so easy to spot that we encourage people just becoming familiar with it to look around their neighborhoods and see just how pervasive this incredibly noxious plant is.

When you realize that it’s taking over whole parks, schoolyards and streetscapes, you’ll understand the need to step up the battle against this scourge.

Why, you might ask?

Because this invasive plant wants to rule the world. It will outcompete desirable native species in most ecosystems; choke out all native wildflowers; starve songbirds and butterflies; erode creek banks; increase mosquito populations while reducing the frog population that eats them; close nature trails; and bring in more deer, deer ticks and tick-borne diseases.

Most everyone knows about the vining Japanese honeysuckle and how hard it is to remove, but the Amur and Morrow’s bush honeysuckles (Lonicera maackii and L. morrowii) are causing much more immediate and severe environmental harm – and there’s no excuse for allowing these nasty invasives to remain on your property.

20 February 21, 2020 | LadueNews.com

Drive down virtually any street in Ladue, and you can spot bush honeysuckle on many residential properties.

Concerted efforts have been made to remove it from Rodes Park and the Deer Creek watershed.

Unfortunately, volunteer efforts have been severely hampered by private property owners who ignore the environmental need to get rid of these species. By leaving stands of mature, fruiting honeysuckle, they’re effectively providing seeds that birds transport onto previously cleared land. So join the committed many in helping educate your neighbors and encouraging them to use these steps eradicate bush honeysuckle in Ladue now: Buy a roll of bright, plastic tagging tape at the hardware store.

Review plant identification resources to confirm ID. One easy clue is, when cutting a large stem between the nodes, bush honeysuckle varieties will be hollow. If you’re still unsure about correct identification, you can email close-up and whole plant photos to the Missouri Botanical Garden Kemper Center team for confirmation at plantinformation@mobot.org.

Walk your property during the early leaf-out phase, and tag all plants for removal.

Measure the scope of infestation, choose an eradication method and make a plan.

If there’s a lot of it, consider hiring a contractor or teaming with neighbors.

If there’s little enough to do yourself, break the property into smaller zones, and spread the work out

over a few weeks.

If there are just seedlings on your property, choose a pleasant day when soils are moist, making the seedlings easy to pull out by hand.

Aim for total eradication because even one mature plant left behind can reinfest quickly.

Visit all reclaimed garden areas in the early spring and late fall each year to catch new plants while they’re still young and easy to pull.

Help to educate your neighbors, churches and schools by sharing the list of resources in this article.

Become an active volunteer “honeysuckle hacker” for your church, school or neighborhood.

Once your property’s clear, make a replanting plan that includes bird-friendly trees, shrubs and perennials. Pat yourself on the back for doing your part for your community, public health, biodiversity, visiting songbirds and the whole environment. Also, congratulate your neighbors when they’ve done the same – and keep after those neighbors who don’t yet understand the severity of the issue.

A new St. LouiS town houSe deveLopment wiLL ALLow buyerS to cuStomize the interior AS if creAting their own work of Art.

T

he creators of The Artizen on West Pine had a particular muse when structuring this new set of town houses in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood.

Legendary artists like Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Claude Monet inspired them to provide a sort of blank canvas for homeowners – the developers even named the 13 private town houses after these artists and others. It’s “art interpreted in brick and mortar,” says Robin Halterman of Halterman Stix Group with Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty.

“This is very open-ended for clients,” Halterman says. “They can really make this a reflection of themselves, be it extremely contemporary, or even if someone was looking for something traditional, they can customize it in that regard.”

The project is billed as “the fusion of art, architecture and design born from the passionate collaboration of St. Louisans,” according to a description on the website.

Halterman says buyers will have the opportunity to customize their homes by making selections from an array of lighting, flooring, cabinetry and other vendor offerings. “This is definitely a createyour-masterpiece situation,” she adds.

Early buyers even have some say in the layout of their homes, but that early-decision advantage lasts only until the walls go up this month, says developer Michael Gingrich, who is a co-founder of The One North Group and managing partner of Profusion Private Asset Fund.

The team broke ground last November and expects to complete the project this coming November.

St. Louis-based company Trivers Associates is serving as the architect, Halterman Stix Group with Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty is the listing agent and firm marketing the development, and Jacob Laws Interior Design will design the interior of the display model, which is expected to be available to visit this summer.

“We have hired Jacob Laws to select the finishes for our display,” Halterman says, “and we’re really excited to share his vision of urban modern luxury.” The

2020 | LadueNews.com 24 February februAry 21, 2020 | LadueNews.com

award-winning designer has worked locally and elsewhere in the U.S., according to his website, even receiving worldwide recognition through the nonprofit Fashion Group International, which named him the Home Furnishings/Product Innovation Rising Star winner in 2018.

The Artizen “was born from the desire for larger, customizable homes and expansive outdoor spaces,” Halterman says.

“We have some really unique features that are not often found in urban dwellings, like the opportunity for a three-car garage or a main-floor master suite.

“These are two- and three-story town houses ranging from about 2,000 square feet to about 3,400 square feet, including finished space on the walk-in level.”

According to the project’s website, the interior square footage ranges approximately from 1,831 to 2,788 square feet – not including the lower level and garage – and the outdoor square footage ranges from 261 to 773 square feet. Some homes have the option for an elevator, and all town houses include some sort of private outdoor space, whether it be a balcony or sprawling rooftop terrace.

“In town houses, it’s a challenge to have larger outdoor spaces,” Gingrich says.

“Most buyers want larger outdoor spaces, especially in today’s market, so many of our homes have rooftop terraces, balconies – and not just one or two but three or four in different locations within the dwelling.

“I think the intention was to really focus on that without making the inside of the home smaller than necessary. We’re able to provide a large amount of indoor space but also a generous amount of outdoor space, which is not really something that the market offers these days.”

The location at 4101 W. Pine Blvd. puts homeowners within walking distance of restaurants, shops and local cultural institutions. Both a Whole Foods Market and Schnucks are within a mile of the town houses, Barnes-Jewish Hospital is about a five-minute drive away, and Forest Park can be reached by bike.

“The eastern part of the Central West End is really blossoming … ,” Halterman says. “This area has significant development taking place as we speak. The Central West End is a vibrant, thriving community. With a unique project like this, it is wonderful to have the opportunity to offer an amazing product in a great location at the right time.”

FEBRUARY 21, 2020 | LadueNews.com

I can’t comprehend how anyone could not allow someone else to live based on religion or ethnicity. - SANDRA HARRIS tortured and exterminated over the course of this dark period. It’s hard to imagine that the world could ever forget.

After walking through the museum, I find Harris sitting in the back row of the lecture hall listening intently to 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Mendel Rosenberg speak to a group of high school students. She grimaces when Rosenberg tells them that 60 members of his family perished in Holocaust death camps; she then smiles, though, when he jokes with the kids in a way they can relate to, trying to help them understand why we, as citizens of the world, can never let such an atrocity happen again.

And in those moments, I see in her the elements that define this museum – almost unbearable sadness leavened with the promise of hope.

hen Sandra Harris goes to work each day, she’s in a place filled with sadness – but also with the promise of hope. In January, the Parkway West High School graduate took over as the new executive director of the Holocaust Museum & Learning Center in west St. Louis County. Harris says when she walks through its exhibits, she has the same feelings that she did when she first began learning about the Holocaust.

“I can’t comprehend how anyone could not allow someone else to live based on religion or ethnicity,” she says.

Harris’ family moved to St. Louis in the 1950s, when her father went to work for McDonnell Aircraft (which, of course, merged with Douglas Aircraft Co. in 1967 to form McDonnell Douglas, before being merged into The Boeing Co. 30 years later).

Harris says her dad was quite the history buff, so like a lot of residents here, her family took advantage of the metro area’s museums.

Harris earned degrees from Washington University in St. Louis in sociology and psychology and postgraduate degrees in anthropology and museum studies at Arizona State University, and she’s been in the museum and library business for the past 30 years. Most recently, she was the library director for Town and Country’s Maryville University. Before that, she was an administrator at museums in Arizona, California and North Carolina.

In her new role, she’ll take on one of the biggest and most important projects of her career. As the HM&LC marks its 25th anniversary, Harris will oversee an $18 million expansion that will triple the size of the exhibition space and change the layout of the museum. Groundbreaking is set for this spring, with an estimated completion date of 2022.

The local institution is one of only 22 Holocaust museums in the U.S., and the destination gets more than 30,000 visitors per year. The expansion and “rethought” exhibition space are expected to help lift attendance even higher. Harris says the “Change Begins With Me” exhibition will become a more central part of the renovated center. “It will help people to take the information they’ve just learned about the Holocaust and then think about what they can do with their own lives and communities to better live with, coexist with and celebrate other people and beliefs,” she explains.

The HM&LC is intrinsically connected to the Jewish community and is operated by the Jewish Federation of St. Louis, so Harris says the fact that she identifies as a Protestant was openly discussed with the board when they were interviewing her for the job. In the end, she says her experience was the deciding factor.

“My background is in administration and strategy and gathering resources and experts, and right now, with the growth we’re about to undergo, that was very important,” Harris says. “My job is to take that passion and teach people how to interpret that pain and sadness [via] programing and conversations.” She adds that these programs and conversations are important to engage with, whether or not visitors have familial experience with the Holocaust.

Harris notes that when you are in the museum, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the horrifying images and artifacts on display, and she works to find balance in her own feelings. “It wouldn’t be right for me if I no longer felt emotion when I’m in this place,” she says, “but I do have to use both my heart and mind because you have to think about how to take care of the business part of this.”

It’s hard for most of us to comprehend the true devastating insanity of the Holocaust. It’s been documented that at least 11 million people were systematically

Hyken’s HOMEWORK A Case of Senioritis

‌M

Specializing in shoe repair & reconditioning and re-dyeing coats, purses, belts and more so you can get the full value from your beloved quality goods.

By Dr. Russell Hyken

y senior son and his friends are heading to college in the fall. After years of academic rigor, high-intensity extracurricular activities and weekend gatherings with lifelong friends, the pressure is off. Come August, these kids will pack their bags and move into university housing.

As the countdown to commencement begins, however, many seniors catch graduation fever. They start hitting the snooze six or seven times each morning, and their favorite outfit becomes sweatpants and a college sweatshirt. The push for good grades that used to drive everything suddenly matters less.

Senioritis is a “rite of passage” for most high school students – a well-needed brief break after meeting a major milestone. For others, however, senioritis is a state of being that can lead to very negative consequences. As kids start to cruise through their final semester of high school, slacking off starts to feel good – a little too good. Many teens, unfortunately, ride this wave for longer than they should.

Their grades plummet, and a sense of purposelessness takes over.

The good news is that most students, with a little extra support, are capable of surviving and thriving during the final months of high school.

If you see your child’s motivation waning or behavior changing, it is time to have a talk.

When you have this heart-to-heart, however, try to avoid the dreaded pep talk approach. The don’t-become-lazy speech doesn’t do much to combat an infectious adolescent attitude.

Rather, the focus of the discussion should be about specific strategies, such as setting up regular meeting times to view online grades or taking part in positive opportunities, like getting a job, to make the most of one’s final semester.

It is also important for parents to understand that there is a natural tendency for most graduating seniors to slow down in their second-semester efforts. Cut your kids a break – they deserve it. But students shouldn’t start summer break early; it is important for graduating teens to continue to study. Seniors who strive to maintain their academic muscles through the end of school will find they are better prepared for college-level classes next year.

Most important, have a conversation about peer pressure and personal responsibilities. Hopefully, you have already had the don’t-drink-or-do-drugs talk, but revisiting the discussion about avoiding mischievous activities in general can give teens the right mindset with which to take on this chapter. When a group of kids decides to take a long lunch, it is tempting for even the best-behaved to cut class.

There is power in numbers, and a careless attitude can easily kick in when part of a group. A major school violation, however, can put one’s college admittance in jeopardy.

Some senioritis is inevitable, but too much can be disastrous. A lazy attitude can last long after the year is completed. Some positive kudos and personal attention from mom and dad might be just the medicine to keep this ailment from reaching a fever pitch. With the right support, students will understand that finishing strong is always better than ending weak.

It’s stylish and modern, but what else does Volvo’s midsize people mover bring to the party?

44 February 21, 2020 | LadueNews.com

N

umbers don’t lie, and the growth that Volvo has been experiencing lately isn’t a fluke. Although still less than 1 percent of total U.S. market share, at its current annual growth rate of plus-10 percent for the past three years, the lone Swedish automaker should cross that line soon.

It takes no training in calculus to understand this revitalization. Volvo has managed to find a seamless blend of curb appeal and economic rationality – luxury without pretention.

This thoughtful execution has been evident with models previously reviewed in Ladue News. The topof-the-line XC90 SUV and S90 Sedan both made me feel right at home with their airy Scandinavian feel, Silicon Valley-level tech and dreamy seats, while the hip, cool entry-level XC40 punches above its weight.

Built on the same Scalable Product Architecture as the S90 and XC90 and equipped with identical powerplant options, the XC60 can boast more than just a family resemblance. The XC60, like the XC90, comes in three base-trim packages: T5, T6 and T8.

The nuts and bolts behind this nomenclature remains the same between the two models, as well. The T5 has a turbocharged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower; the T6 offers the same engine but adds a supercharger to the mix, raising output to 316 horsepower; and the plug-in hybrid T8 adds electrification for 400 horsepower of total output.

I drove a T5 – the most humble of the group – and found power delivery to be satisfactory from the turbocharged four, albeit not as refined and effortless as that of the turbo-plus-supercharged version. A 0-to-60 time of 6.5 seconds sounds plentiful for the class, but in traffic can feel more like having to demand action rather than it just happening. A dead zone in the middle of the throttle response yields revs too low for the engine to be making power, but the transmission, even in sport mode, remains determined to deliver mpg might, and a stab of the pedal to the floor ranks as the only way to make it known you mean business.

Ride quality seems well-sorted. Our chewed-tobits metro area winter roads felt deceivingly smooth,

and interstate cruising felt isolated from noise and vibration. The XC60 managed to give this buttery feel while still conveying responsiveness to the driver. The steering was accurate but not too sharp; the brakes did what I asked without biting overly aggressively; and cornering allowed a touch of fun within modest limits. So overall, the XC60 presents a comfortably conservative approach, but the lack of any glaring faults brings it all together successfully.

From the exterior, similarities between the XC60 and XC90 can be clearly seen, so much so that one might not tell them apart in traffic. The same goes for the interior; the fresh, light feel of its big brother can be found in the XC60 as well – a good thing.

With powerplant and chassis tuning that fails to create any separation from the pack, Volvo leans on styling for its identity. So that interior styling and feel should be a slam dunk, as with the XC90, right? Well, not quite. Although the loaner I drove was fitted with the $6,700 Inscription package and $2,500 Advanced package, it still fell a bit short of a convincing luxury performance. The door panels and dash felt more

plasticky, albeit with a layer of foam behind for cushioning. The seats, although comfortable, fail to approach the ergonomic perfection of the XC90’s toptrim ventilated and massaging seats. And the solid Harman Kardon sound falls well short of the superb Bowers & Wilkins setup. Those options are available for the XC60, however; the $2,200 Luxury package yields the better seats, and a mere $3,200 outfits the XC60 with the Bowers & Wilkins stereo.

But as the price climbs, so do second thoughts.

Does a loaded XC60 compete at well into the $60,000 range? I think so, but the midsize SUV segment remains packed with choices.

With such a wide range of available build options and prices, recommendations become harder to divvy. In some ways, Volvo’s competing against itself.

To wit, if style brought you through a dealership’s doors, why not step up to the XC90? Unless parallel parking constitutes a daily nuisance – making the XC60’s smaller dimensions a blessing – adding those (in my opinion) must-have options might make more sense on the XC90.

Care by Volvo Many LN readers should be old enough to remember when a “lease” was a new idea of how to “own” a car. Some thought such a thing would never catch on, but now it’s standard practice everywhere.

A couple of generations later, we’re starting to see subscription programs gaining momentum. One such, driveBLACKTIE by Jim Butler, I profiled here some time ago – I’m now a member. Manufacturers like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac all have offered their own subscription programs, with varying levels of flexibility and wide ranges of cost.

Now, add Volvo to that list; the manufacturer has been working hard behind the scenes to make available its own program, Care by Volvo.

Regulatory challenges have formed the biggest hurdles for Volvo and other manufacturers. With insurance included in the package price, each state

presents its own red-tape challenges – but in Missouri, West County Volvo does indeed offer the service.

Essentially a 2-year lease with the ability to switch to a new car after 12 months, Care by Volvo has reportedly been quite successful thus far.

The program can cover much of the Volvo lineup, including the XC40, S60, V60, XC60 and XC90. And it seems to make sense to go right to the top. An XC40, Volvo’s entry-level option, involves a monthly $700 commitment, while the top-of-the-line XC90 asks for only $100 per month more.

At those prices, with insurance from Liberty Mutual included, a logical argument can be made when the additional convenience and simplicity are considered as well. With more options always preferable, while we’re waiting to see how these new subscriptions evolve, Care by Volvo is available now.

ROSSMAN SCHOOL

EDUCATION Spotlight

By Maggie Peters

MISSION PROFILE

Small by design, Rossman School gives students room to grow in a unique environment that nurtures education and community both inside and outside individual grade level.

A

nurturing environment is instrumental to student growth, and Rossman School excels through offering a unique, intentionally small one-class-pergrade model. Each grade is scaled in a manner that allows children to be known and respected for their contributions to the school community.

“Ultimately, education is relational,” says lower school director Rachel Dixon. “With one class per grade, our students get to know each other deeply and are supportive of each other.”

The intimate size creates a setting in which students feel comfortable taking risks and accepting challenges, which helps them to develop self-awareness and confidence.

“One class per grade level promotes our students’ sense of value and security,” Dixon explains. “If our students feel known, valued and accepted, they can stretch themselves to try new things and feel comfortable in making the mistakes that are necessary for their learning.”

Rossman students and alumni concur and often attribute their confidence to the nurturing community and close friendships they formed in their early education.

A single class per grade gives teachers flexibility to take their time on subjects and accommodate the interests and needs of their class. The school’s method of “team teaching”, with two teachers per class, also allows for tailoring each student’s education as teachers are able to give them individualized attention that supports their learning style.

“We know that our teachers have different personalities, just like our students,” Dixon says, adding that these differences create a balance, and that the team-teaching approach aids teachers’ growth as they can provide each other immediate feedback and support.

“As educators, we sense [students’] preferences and passions, areas of strength and their support needs,” she says. “We pass that information from grade to grade so that we are able to jump right in.”

The smooth transition between grades enables teachers to build upon curriculum in the best ways possible. “Our teachers focus on aligning the entire experience of a Rossman student [throughout] their eight years here, which creates a more focused and cohesive program,” Dixon says.

Students at Rossman form stronger relationships, not just within their own grade but across grade levels as well. The school’s family program groups one child from each grade level, thereby creating friendships and moments every day where students of all ages interact with each other.

“This morning [in the library], I saw students from different grade levels surrounding the Lego table, building together,” Dixon shares. “All the way from our 4-year-old to our sixth-grade students. That’s what makes Rossman, Rossman. It’s a small school – with a really big heart.”

All the while, she remained good friends with the owner of Jenny’s Diner, Nurcan “Jenny” Akcay, who served as her business mentor.

“Late last year, Jenny hinted that she was getting fatigued after running the diner for seven years,” Phiri-Chibwe says. “She sold us the diner, and we took it over in November 2018. We decided to add Zambian meals here because we’re trying to introduce this style of food to people.”

By Mabel Suen Mainstays from the menu at Stango Cuisine feature on the dinner menu at Jenny’s Diner, among them such highlights as beef stew and chicken curry – a Christmas tradition in Zambia. According to PhiriChibwe, the home-style savory dishes are slow-cooked with seasonings and spices like ginger, garlic and turmeric. Another specialty, the Hungarian sausage, involves a specially made pork-based sausage popular as Zambian street food.

The entrées all come with the guest’s choice of curry rice, stewed sweet potatoes or nshima – a polentalike Zambian staple prepared with cornmeal and water – and a choice of beans or greens. Going forward, PhiriChibwe hopes to expand the menu to include specials

like oxtail and fresh-squeezed ginger juice.

The breakfast and lunch menus, as noted, run all day and include such popular picks as PhiriChibwe’s daytime go-to: a farm skillet with homefried potatoes, two eggs, sausage, onions and green peppers. Newer offerings include Bakes by ChiChi’s beef pies in a golden-brown pastry crust, plantains, twice-fried chicken wings and beignets – making Jenny’s Diner an ideally eclectic place to visit before enjoying The Mystery of Irma Vep from The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.

“My aim is for people to come experience and learn about Zambian food,” Phiri-Chibwe says.

“Someday, I want it to be well-known enough for people to say, ‘Let’s have Zambian tonight.’”

Jenny’s Diner, 45 Forum Shopping Center, Chesterfield,

‌Story: It’s a dark and stormy night at Mandacrest, the palatial home of Lord Edgar and his new second wife, Lady Enid, who feels intimidated by a large portrait of Edgar’s late first wife, Irma Vep, who, with their only child, was murdered years earlier.

Caring for Mandacrest are Jane, the maid, and the swineherd Nicodemus – and Lady Enid can’t quite figure out the mysterious pair’s story.

After a nighttime attack on Lady Enid, Lord Edgar determines her attacker to have been a vampire. An Egyptologist by profession, he seeks answers to the maladies plaguing his and his family’s lives at an ancient Egyptian tomb. Finding a sarcophagus there, Lord Edgar spirits it away to Mandacrest for further inspection.

What precisely is happening at Mandacrest? Will Lady Enid recover from wounds to her throat? Is Irma Vep really dead? Why does Nicodemus drag one leg when he walks? What makes Jane so peculiar? And what’s with that creepy portrait of Irma Vep at the top of the stairs?

Highlights: The Rep tries to resuscitate Charles Ludlam’s campfest from 1984 with a two-person cast who gamely portray eight different characters in an effort to suck every drop of comedy from the two-act work.

Other Info: The Mystery of Irma Vep, according to Wikipedia, ranked as the most produced play in America in 1991, shortly before The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis itself staged a production directed by Tom Martin in its intimate Studio Theatre.

Vague memories color that effort as amusing and clever. Like the brilliant Dress the Part, a hilarious hip-hop riff on Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona recently staged by Shakespeare Festival St. Louis at The Ready Room, the earlier Rep performance benefited from cozier surroundings, bringing the stories closer to their audiences.

The Rep’s current production seems cavernous by comparison, losing much nuance from earlier. Further, for a show that Rep Augustin Family artistic director Hana Sharif describes in program notes as “one of the great comedies of the American Theatre,” this Irma Vep too often feels tired – more creaking than creepy.

Much of the problem involves the show’s torpid pace, including an interminable first act that underscores director Nelson T. Eusebio III’s difficulty in finding the quick, zany tempo necessary for farce.

Everything just takes too long to get where it wants to go, losing some of the audience in the process.

Despite much having been made of reviving a 35-year-old script, cutting at least 20 minutes from the 2½-hour presentation and amping up the delivery would help considerably in elevating the camp, the farcical and the nonsensical.

Despite all of that baggage, performers Esteban Andres Cruz and Tommy Everett Russell acquit themselves nicely with humorous portrayals of Lord Edgar, Lady Enid, Jane, Nicodemus, Irma Vep and a few other characters. Substantial credit should go to their dressers, who feverishly strip one costume for another as Cruz and Everett exit as one character and re-enter as someone else. Those lavish, amusing costumes come from designer Sara Ryung Clement, who captures the spirit of Ludlam’s chaos in her finery.

Hopefully, The Rep’s presentation of The Mystery of Irma Vep will accelerate in future performances and thus recapture the quirkiness of Ludlam’s piece of horror-inspired silliness.

The Lay of the

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Images courtesy of Duane Reed Gallery

One of the metro area’s classiest galleries displays a small but intriguing selection of landscapes by a longtime local artist.

T

he Duane Reed Gallery in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood is welcoming a new exhibition featuring St. Louisan Ken Worley.

The free, untitled exhibition opens Friday, Feb. 21, and runs till April 4. It includes two other artists: Lesley Richmond, who hails from Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, and Matt Mitros, who teaches at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

“I’ve known him for about 30 years now, and outside of being such a great artist, he is also a wonderful and kind human being,” the gallery’s namesake says of Worley.

Reed continues by providing background on the works by Worley that grace the tripartite exhibition. “I would say that from day one, I was attracted to his stately confidence,” he remarks. “The work is highly identifiable and has the ability to show off his experience, as well as instantly triggering pleasant memories and emotions in the viewer.

Ken’s work is consistent and strong.”

The gallery’s website provides insights into the artist’s creative process, stating that Worley “uses oil pastels to make sketches and then mills his own oil sticks in the studio for painting. Through a process of layering and scratching into the surface, he arrives at his final image. In many ways, this tactile approach to his work is so essential to the reading of his work.”

In an artist statement, Worley himself expands on the process. “I explore the possibilities of the landscape by using a small group of sites at Rockwoods Reservation, a state park near Eureka … ,” he notes. “From the site, I will do a series of approximately 6-inch crayon drawings whose scale allows me to play with the composition. The shapes and masses become increasingly simplified, and their color becomes more complex in both subtlety and vividness. The crayon drawings are a rehearsal for the later oil stick paintings. … ” Worley created all but one of the canvases in the current exhibition during the past decade; they range in year of creation from 2006 to 2014. In size, meanwhile, they range from 20 inches in diameter (Rockwoods 12 and Rockwoods 14) to 36 by 42 inches (Rockwoods IV-17).

Given the titular similarity of that trio of canvases and the other three works (Rockwoods II.8, Rockwoods I.16 and Rockwoods VII-19), the gallery’s website expands on Worley’s artist statement.

“For the past 30 years, eco-landscape has been Ken Worley’s subject of choice, depicting a still and simplified nature, where every tree looks like a tear and every hill Mother Earth’s anxious breast,” the website notes. “His goal is to record through his paintings the feel of his favorite small patch of nature rather than its literal appearance, in

21, 2020 | LadueNews.com 5252 February february 21, 2020 | LadueNews.com

a subtle way that brings the viewer’s attention to the difference.”

The website continues by quoting Worley: “Landscapes are sensory things. They are always changing. One has no control over a landscape. And there’s a mystery to them. Viewing a landscape is like looking at chaos and discovering order by making some sense of it.

There’s so much adventure in there, so many possibilities.”

From inspiration to execution, Worley’s landscapes, though certainly representational, have undergone a pleasant simplification, a degree of abstraction; the (mostly) conifers and hillocks they depict exhibit a formal cleanliness having rather less to do with botany than with geometry. Also, the use of oil sticks – oil and pigment blended with wax and molded or oil paint in stick form made with linseed or safflower oil – gentles the landscapes’ collective palette without devolving to a pastel disagreeability.

“Worley depicts a world surreally free of both men and their structures,” the gallery’s website adds. “‘I’m painting light, but not entirely with an Impressionist’s preoccupation,’ he describes. ‘I enjoy the works of Vermeer, de Chirico and Balthus, not so much for the figures in their work, but because of the glassy stillness of the “air” in their paintings, the sense of suspended drama.’”

(Worley there references the 17th-century Dutchman Johannes Vermeer, the 19th/20th-century Italian Giorgio de Chirico and the mostly 20th-century Frenchman Balthasar Klossowski de Rola.)

The website further quotes the artist in a reference to the 19th/20th-century American who, notably, painted the 1942 oilon-canvas Nighthawks and, intriguingly, a famed 20th/21st-century Swedish filmmaker: “Perhaps the tradition I work in is close to Edward Hopper or Ingmar Bergman in the sense that my landscapes are actually ‘sets’ or ‘settings’ in which some human activity will occur or has just occurred.”

That quotation, in particular, seems germane, in that a considerable serenity infuses Worley’s works, making this new exhibition a go-to event for local visual art devotees.
