EDITOR ‌NOW THAT SPRING HAS OFFICIALLY SPRUNG, IT’S TIME TO START bidding adieu to our dark winter duds to make room for this season’s spriest styles. And if you aren’t sure what’s truly in style this season, make sure to explore LN fashion writer Katie Yeadon’s feature, starting on p. 48. Yeadon shares five looks – featuring everything from ruffles to eyelets – that will not only freshen your look but also leave you feeling fresh. Yeadon’s stylish selections, beautifully captured by LN photographer Sarah Conroy’s skillful eye, are sure to have you boutique bound! With the changing seasons, though, also come pesky spring showers. Luckily, area landscapers are encouraging those in urban neighborhoods to implement rain gardens, also known as rainscaping. Rain gardens offer countless benefits, including pollution control, flooding protection and water conservation; they even create habitats for birds and butterflies. Starting on p. 32, LN contributing writer Connie Mitchell delves into rain gardens further, sharing insights into their benefits and even speaking implementation with local landscapers. We hope you enjoy this feature – whether from an educational standpoint or for consideration for your own abode. All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

PEACE AND JUSTICE PRIZE

mARCh 24, 2017 | LadueNews.com

Honoring an

Exceptional Leader By Robyn Dexter | Photo by Carl Cox Photography

ast year, Maryville University established the Sister Mary Byles Peace and Justice Prize, an award to honor those who have gone above and beyond to focus on peace and justice in their lives and work. Byles was well-known among religious leaders in the St. Louis area for her significant efforts to further ecumenical and interfaith relations, and this year’s honoree exemplifies that to the fullest. Jonathan Greenblatt is the CEO and national director of the AntiDefamation League (ADL). He will receive the Sister Mary Byles Peace and Justice Prize at a presentation and lecture at 7 p.m. April 3 at Maryville University. Greenblatt says he’s “humbled and deeply honored” to be recognized with this award, which was presented to St. Louis civil rights pioneer Frankie Muse Freeman last year. “While I did not know her personally, [Byles] is well-known by reputation among Jewish community and religious leaders in St. Louis and beyond for her pioneering work in advancing interfaith relations,” Greenblatt says. The ADL was started in Chicago more than 100 years ago with the mission of fighting defamation of Jewish people and securing justice and fair treatment for all. Greenblatt says this mission rings true today because you cannot successfully fight prejudice against Jews without broadening the fight to eliminate all forms of discrimination. “Our founders realized that when you make America a safer place for its Jews, you make the country safer for all people,” he says. “And when you make America better for all people, it is a better place for the Jewish community.” Over the past few months, Greenblatt says he has seen “an epidemic of hate crimes against Jews and other minorities,” making the mission of the ADL more important than ever. “We are witnessing a resurgence of anti-Semitism and one of the most frightening waves of anti-Semitic incidents in decades, with more

than 150 bomb threats directed against Jewish institutions, schools and community centers in the past two months alone,” he says. To combat these frightening figures, the ADL is starting a center on “cyberhate,” technology and society, drawing on the organization’s three decades of expertise in monitoring, tracking and fighting hate online. “We cannot rest on our laurels as anti-Semites across the spectrum continue to exploit social media and adapt to new technologies,” Greenblatt says. “So [in the future,] I hope to see ADL engaging with leading entrepreneurs and innovators, working with tech sector leaders to evaluate artificial intelligence, to harness big data and to identify new technologies that can help to reduce the scourge of online harassment.” Though it might be a difficult time to be the CEO of the ADL, Greenblatt says one of the best parts of his job centers on opportunities to meet with leaders from around the world. A few weeks ago, he spoke before the British Parliament. Earlier this year, he led a delegation of ADL leaders to the Vatican, where they had the opportunity to meet with Pope Francis and top papal officials in Rome. “It’s exciting when people are inspired enough by our mission and our message to want to meet with us and help us work to solve issues of bigotry and prejudice,” he says. For more than 100 years, the ADL has been able to see the fruits of its efforts, and Greenblatt says that part is “incredibly rewarding.” “Whether it is a neo-Nazi who leaves the movement after changing his mind, or a student who steps up to become an ally against antiSemitism in one of our programs, or a political leader who uses his or her bully pulpit to speak out forcefully against hatred. … These moments remind me of the power we have to change hearts and minds and, ultimately, see the betterment of our country and realize a more tolerant and respectful society.” Maryville University, 650 Maryville University Drive, St. Louis, 314-529-9300, maryville.edu

uests grabbed beads and masks, and dressed to impress in their most royal Mardi Gras cocktail attire as they joined the St. Louis Blues’ Krewe du Blue for the 2017 Blues for Kids Casino Night recently. The event took place at Scottrade Center, which had been turned into a casino. Blues team members served as celebrity guest dealers for the evening, all in an effort to raise funds for St. Louis Children’s Hospital. While gambling with play money, guests jazzed to music by the Funky Butt Brass Band. Street artists circulated to create complimentary caricatures, and guests also enjoyed peeping into the future with a tarot artist. Attendees included Bob Plager, Bruce Affleck, Diane Wickenheiser and Tom Stillman.

The Joshua Chamberlain Society

PRICE OF FREEDOM GALA

Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

aving the unique mission of adopting severely wounded military-service members and families of killed-in-action service members as part of its own family, The Joshua Chamberlain Society helps a smaller number of heroes than some other groups, but it strives to help more. It hopes its seventh annual Price of Freedom Gala and other events will help adopt more heroes. This year’s gala, held recently at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch, began with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and several unique, interactive ways to support the society, along with silent and live auctions. Bagpipers led guests to the fourth floor ballroom, where the program began, along with dinner, a variety of speakers, a raffle drawing and more. The society bears the name of Civil War veteran and congressional Medal of Honor recipient Joshua Chamberlain, who spent the remainder of his post-service years dealing with the pain of his battle injuries.

At the end of the day, there’s a lot of charities that do a little bit for a lot of guys. The key mission of The Joshua Chamberlain Society is to adopt our heroes for life. We only are helping as of tonight 12 different heroes, but it’s a lifelong commitment, and that shows in the way that we help them out. It’s the biggest things that are making, you know, their lives hard, [and] we’re there to help fix [things], and that’s the best part about The Joshua Chamberlain Society.

uparba Panda wanted to help today’s kids build the future of tomorrow. She asked her 8-year-old son what sort of innovative technology he wanted to see in the future. His response? A time machine. When Panda was looking for summer camps for her son, she wasn’t finding very many that centered on technology. Having introduced him to Scratch programming at 5 years old, Panda saw how easily he could learn the programming and navigate gadgets. And it wasn’t just her son – she saw other students at Ladue’s Conway Elementary who had the ability and interest to learn and create. “I wondered how we could encourage kids early on … really early on,” she says. “My son and his friends are ready. They’re willing to receive [this information], but there’s no one to give it to them.” Panda quit her full-time job as vice president of technology at Equifax and created TymeMachine, a nonprofit designed to introduce technologies like

robotics, cyber security, biometrics and 3-D printing into the minds of youngsters at an early age. “I wanted to build a community in St. Louis combining all these great kids and the latest tech to improve the [science, engineering and math] with the T [technology] in STEM [science, technology, engineering and math]. They’re ready – they just need the guidance.” This summer, kids ages 6 to 12 will be able to participate in the inaugural set of camps through TymeMachine. The first camp, Robotics With Raspberry Pi, opens June 5, and various camps run through the end of July. “Summer is a great time for kids to get together and innovate with technology,” Panda says. The summer classes will take place at the Brentwood Community Center, where the day is composed of sessions with breaks for team activities, lunch and ice skating. TymeMachine also will be offering little workshops

around St. Louis, mainly at libraries, that will be free of charge. Panda says she has had parents asking for private coaching for their children, but she wants to emphasize the way kids learn in a group. “Teamwork effort makes everything wonderful,” she says. She also plans to talk to local schools about offering after-hours programs for students. Since TymeMachine is a nonprofit, Panda is currently raising funds to bring the best hardware and software to her future campers. With a goal to teach them real programming and robotics and gaming, Panda aims to make this camp as hands-on as possible. To learn more, visit tymemachine.org.

MISSION

In the St. Louis mental health community, the Institute brought something new to the city by providing educational opportunities beyond the normal measure. “Prior to the Institute coming into existence, there was no training for psychoanalysts in St. Louis. Only four cities in the country – San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia – had facilities,” James (Jim) Schiele, a lifetime director at the Institute, says. “Now we can train analysts here. And a very skilled group of therapists in St. Louis enhances the city overall. People [can] get mental health benefits and assistance as needed; the reputation for medicine and research has expanded; and notable psychiatrists have come here because of the Institute.”

Design DESTINATION HONOLULU, HAWAII

By Kaitlynn Martin

As spring approaches with its temperamental weather, many folks start daydreaming of a more tropical and serene place – and what better place to channel paradise than Honolulu? The Hawaiian city and county of Honolulu occupy the island of Oahu, which translates as “sheltered harbor” or “calm port.” With the city’s deep blue waters caressing white golden sands, dotted with seashells and large volcanos that reach toward the heavens, you can easily understand why so many visitors flock to Honolulu each year. These three statement pieces, though, can relieve you of the need to jet more than 4,100 miles to bring a relaxing, Hawaiian ambiance to your home.

white vases that feel as if you just scooped them from a Hawaiian beach. Price varies, available

nvironmentally conscious homeowners are increasingly looking for ways to make their property more earth-friendly. One technique gaining popularity is the use of rain gardens, also known as rainscaping. A rain garden is a strategically placed garden featuring a basin that allows rainwater to collect before slowly percolating into the ground. Native, moisture-loving plants help with water absorption and make these gardens visually attractive and interesting. Homeowners who have wet basements or standing water in the yard after a heavy rain might find a rain garden helps alleviate the problem, although it is not a panacea for large storms dumping more than an inch of rainwater. It also reduces stormwater runoff, which decreases pollution in local waterways, and creates natural habitats for pollinating insects, butterflies and other wildlife. Rain gardens take on many styles and sizes. Some are formal, with plants organized carefully. Others look more natural, with plants scattered informally throughout the garden. The number of plants and amount of rock or mulch used around them can vary, as well. Cody Hayo, owner of Pretty City Gardens & Landscapes, installed several rain gardens last fall as part of MSD Project Clear, an initiative of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District to improve water quality and alleviate wastewater concerns. He used, on average, 15 types of plants at each project site, including varieties such as swamp milkweed and soft rush in the lowest parts of the basin, and black-eyed Susan and purple coneflower closer to the edges, where conditions are drier. Plants in the lower portion must be able to thrive in wet conditions. “Native plants are generally considered best suited for rain gardens because of their deep root systems,” he says. “The deeper root systems help create a more spongelike soil that can absorb and retain more water.” A basic rain garden can be installed in a weekend, but there are several things to consider before digging begins. “A rain garden might also include a berm to help hold water in and be oval or kidney-shaped in order to help collect water,” says Rob Kennedy, sustainability project specialist at the Missouri Botanical Garden’s EarthWays Center, a division devoted to conservation of energy and natural resources. “The garden should also be perpendicular to the flow of water. Inflow and outflows should be considered. An outflow is necessary as an overflow spillway in the case of a particularly large rain event.” To begin planning, first identify existing water problems, and note how rainwater drains through the property, recommends Rebecca Eisele, landscaping designer at Quiet Village Landscaping Co. and vice president of the Landscape Nursery Association of Greater St. Louis. “Ideally, a rain garden should be 20 percent of the size of whatever is draining into it,” she

says. “For example, if you’re connecting a downspout to your rain garden, what is the square footage of the roof being drained by that particular downspout? If the roof section is 500 square feet, you’ll want to install a 100-square-foot rain garden.” If there is not enough space to install a rain garden that fits the 20 percent guideline, a smaller one can still be beneficial, she adds. Regardless of size, the rain garden should be located just above the lowest spot in the yard in order to intercept water as it flows toward the low point. “Low spots where water tends to stand and collect often have compacted soils that are not conducive to rain gardens,” Eisele says. Kennedy and Eisele recommend reading the Missouri Botanical Garden’s online Rainscaping Guide to determine whether a rain garden is right for a specific site. The guide explains how to perform a percolation test on the soil, which shows how well water drains when the ground is saturated. Compacted soil that doesn’t allow for adequate water absorption needs to be amended – by adding compost or topsoil, tilling or aerating the ground – or the rain garden needs to be situated elsewhere. Another thing to consider when locating a rain garden is its proximity to the home’s foundation. The garden should be at least 10 feet from the home since it will be holding and draining water. Be courteous to neighbors, as well: Eisele advises paying attention to how you build the overflow to avoid draining directly into a neighbor’s yard. “Even if the water does eventually have to travel across a neighbor’s yard to reach a storm basin, allow for a turf border around your rain garden to catch any mulch or other debris that moves in a major flood event so it doesn’t end up in [his or her] yard,” she says, “or route overflows into traditional storm sewers located on the street.” Once a rain garden is installed, it’s easy to maintain. “Perennials should be cut back to the ground annually. We typically do this in spring before new growth begins,” Hayo says. “Shrubs and trees can be pruned as needed. The basin, including the inflow and overflow areas, should be kept clear of accumulated debris like leaves, branches, etc. Weed regularly during the growing season, and keep it looking attractive.” Besides looking pretty, rain gardens provide a service, and that makes them unique. Hayo sums matters thus: “The cool thing about them is what they are doing besides looking beautiful – managing stormwater, preventing flooding elsewhere and providing habitat.” Missouri Botanical Garden, 4344 Shaw Blvd., St. Louis, 314-577-5100, missouribotanicalgarden.org Pretty City Gardens & Landscapes, 314-282-1084, prettycitystl.com Quiet Village Landscaping Co., 9810 Page Ave., St. Louis, 314-657-7050, quietvillagelandscaping.com

on’t be fooled – as any homeowner can attest, houses are a lot of work. Luckily, Mosby Building Arts is passionate about the art of building and maintaining homes. Its exteriors division, Exteriors By Mosby, promises to carry the heavy load as you prepare your home for warmer seasons. “Beyond your home’s resale value, boosting its curb appeal makes it more inviting for guests. And on the intangible side of things, you gain your own personal satisfaction and pride in your home,” home consultant Kurt Doll says. Once the decision has been made to spruce up the outside of your abode, the fun begins with cultivating an idea for the project. “We see a lot more clients taking the holistic approach rather than a simple replacement. They want a cohesive look to appear throughout, such as through windows and shutters

tying into the siding,” Doll comments. “Another big trend is the inclusion of natural elements, such as brick and stone or natural timber. Using those elements tends to anchor a home, essentially bringing a man-made structure back to earth.” Mosby’s design capabilities shine during the development stage, when designers work directly with clients to bring their visions to life. “We incorporate a full 3-D rendering in our design work, which allows us to show a home both in its current state and transformations in real time before we even swing the first hammer,” Doll shares. “We also are working toward incorporating virtual reality, which would allow clients to wear a headset and see their space in a [more responsive] way.” From roofing and siding to window and door replacements to outdoor living areas, the exteriors division tackles all project sizes. “Remodeling typically

covers straight replacements, whereas design-build incorporates much more design work, including larger projects, such as moving walls or building structures. These two can certainly overlap, but both should take into account building codes and municipal regulations,” Doll recommends. “Whomever you meet with, ask the important questions, such as, ‘Is this work being done to code? Who are the people actually performing the work, employees or subcontractors?’ More often than not, people can run into issues between talk of the design and actual production. If it’s not communicated well, you run the risk of losing things in translation. The exteriors division by Mosby can help with all of the homeowner’s needs [from start to finish].” Mosby Building Arts, 645 Leffingwell Ave., Kirkwood, 314-909-1800, mosbybuildingarts.com

The St. Louis spring market came in “like a lion,” with several factors aligning for success, including consumer optimism and a record stock market. ‌Compared to last year, 2017’s closed sales are up by 2.6 percent; average sold price is up 3.6 percent; number of sales is up by 3.6 percent; average days on market are down 20.5 percent; and number of active listings is down 10.2 percent. ‌Indicators all point to the agency being poised for a strong spring market, provided it fills its existing pipeline. Active listings are on a multiyear decline around the country. According to the agency, reversing this slide will better satisfy buyer demand and prevent buyer fatigue, which is a risk if not enough relevant properties are available to satisfy demand and buyers lose out repeatedly in competitive bidding. ‌ A trend to watch is millennial home purchasing. This generation has surpassed their parents as the largest demographic. They are delaying home ownership, due to graduating from college with the highest level of student debt in history and into the most difficult job market. Those in their 30s are gaining financial security and now entering the market. The agency believes millennial housing preferences and purchase cycle will prove to be the most significant drivers in residential real estate.

SUTTON LASATER OF SUTTON LASATER JEWELRY

‌Sutton Lasater stays busy. She serves as the vice president of West Model & Talent Management, the director of content strategy with Brazen and an instructor at Saint Louis University – oh, and she also runs her own extensive jewelry line, Sutton Lasater Jewelry. From beaded tassels to eclectic charms, Sutton Lasater Jewelry offers designs for a plethora of tastes and can be found at Byrd Designer Consignment Boutique and The Spotted Pig. We recently caught up with Lasater to find out more about her accessory endeavor. Looking at your collection, it’s clear Sutton Lasater Jewelry covers multiple styles. There are some minimal pieces, some boho, some even a little preppy. How do you describe your design aesthetic? I honestly design things that I would wear myself. I think personal style is a fluid concept that can be a mixture of many different aesthetics and can change based on your mood or what you’re doing that day. Everything I create has some similarities. For the most part, nothing is overly trendy. I focus more on classic metals than bright colors, stones or crystals. It is all refined “everyday” jewelry that could be worn for almost any occasion. How did you begin working with jewelry, and when did you launch your line? I have always loved to make things with my own hands. It’s a bit of a puzzle to take an idea and make it work, and it’s extremely satisfying to create something beautiful. When I was in high school, my parents became caretakers for an elderly couple in our neighborhood. Mrs. Barca was a fashionable woman and collected costume jewelry her whole life. When my family helped the Barcas move into a nursing home, she gave me a five-drawer dresser filled with her costume jewelry collection. A lot of it was broken or outdated, so I started re-creating the pieces. When I first started selling jewelry, everything was a vintage re-creation. I liked working with those materials, but it wasn’t my personal style and took a lot of effort to source, so I eventually started searching for other materials. Although I started making jewelry when I was a senior in high school, I didn’t register my business until after grad school, when I had more time to make jewelry, build a website and try to grow my business. Do you have a favorite type of piece to design? I love to make earrings! My personal jewelry style is pretty practical, and I like to wear earrings more than necklaces and bracelets because they are out of the way. I don’t make a ton of bracelets because sizing can be difficult. Even half of a centimeter makes a huge difference in the way a bracelet fits, and everybody’s wrists are different. It’s so important to

me that customers get something they love and that works for them. What is your creative process like? Where do you work, and how long does it take for you to make each piece? I work in a spare bedroom in my apartment that serves as my office and overflow closet space. My desk has a big work surface and is always covered in supplies and pieces I’m working on.

If I know what I’m going to make, I can get things done pretty quick – usually five to 15 minutes. I try to envision the final piece when I purchase materials so I know I’m buying things that are practical for me to work with. If I have materials that I like but am not sure what to create with them, then it takes me a little longer to conceptualize, prototype and finalize the piece. What do you look for when selecting materials? Besides quality, I look for supplies that are unique and stand out. I try to find things that I haven’t seen other designers, especially in St. Louis, working with. You create custom jewelry for weddings. What is the process like when you’re working with a wedding party? First I talk with the bride to learn some basics: the theme or aesthetic of her wedding, color scheme, personal style, budget and any special requests. I will come to the next meeting with some jewelry suggestions, we will make revisions and a final decision, and then I’ll create the pieces. I always encourage brides to choose jewelry that their bridesmaids will wear after the wedding. Many brides pick out individual pieces for each bridesmaid so they can give them a truly personalized gift.

CONNECT THE DOTS

The Word-of-Mouth Epidemic

By Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande

‌M

alcolm Gladwell, in the bestseller The Tipping Point, tells a remarkable tale of the relative importance of word of mouth and how, in the age of emails and texting, we may be overlooking a simple yet very valuable and powerful communication tool. In 1990, shortly after Lexus introduced its line of luxury cars to the United States, the automaker realized it had two minor problems with the LS400 sedan that required a recall. Lexus had sought to build its reputation around quality and reliability. Now, little more than a year after the brand’s launch, the company was confronting problems with its flagship model. Although most recalls are handled by mass media announcements or letters to owners, Lexus decided to get the recall message to customers in a more personal manner. Specifically, each owner received a telephone call the day the recall was announced. When the owners picked up their vehicles after repairs were completed, each vehicle had been washed and its gas tank filled. If an owner lived more than 100 miles from a dealership, a mechanic was dispatched to his or her home. In one instance, a technician flew from Los

Angeles to Anchorage, Alaska, to make repairs. The company emerged from this crisis with a reputation for customer service that endures to this day. One automotive publication called it “the perfect recall.” By going the extra mile, Lexus successfully kickstarted a word-of-mouth epidemic about the quality of its customer service – a message that would have been lost in a letter, fax or media broadcast. The takeaway? The effectiveness of a message and of our communication with colleagues, business partners, and customers can depend more on how a message is delivered than on the message itself! Do you take the easy, least-resistant way to communicate a message? Are you more comfortable sending emails than meeting face-to-face? Do you prefer to leave a voicemail message rather than engaging in a two-way conversation? Are you eager to draft memoranda to colleagues outlining an idea or a concept? We live in a world of instantaneous information where we demand immediate responses to all our questions. Along the way, we have devalued the potential impact of looking someone in the eye, observing his or her body language and assessing a positive or negative reaction to a message. Gone

are the days when the variation of a person’s voice served as a good indicator of his or her acknowledgement or acceptance of our point of view. Today we are forced to literally read between the lines, imagining what the words really mean, hoping against hope that there is truth behind the written word and that you don’t misunderstand what is written. So how do you communicate a message? Is it effective? The Lexus example may serve as a guide in pondering such questions.

COMMUNICATION CONVERSATION

Preparing for an Interview

hen facing an interview, your level of success is often correlated to your preparation. No matter how smart or entertaining you may think you are, an interview can literally cost you money by simply “winging it,” so be sure to dedicate time prior to the interview to not only researching the company but also to practicing common interview questions. A high school senior facing a merit scholarship interview recently entered my office after being stumped by a panel of three interviewers. “I walked in, sat down, and the lady on the right just stared at me and said, ‘OK, brag about yourself!’” said the senior in question about his interview. The first way to handle this situation is by ignoring the bait. Don’t brag. Bragging implies an arrogant attitude, and the interviewer is trying to find out if you have one. Those who fall in this category are less likely to be successful in interviews. Instead, plan to begin the conversation by telling the panel two or three things that reflect positive information about who you are. For example, you can say, “I’m a serious student particularly interested

Plan to begin the conversation by telling the panel two or three things that reflect positive information about who you are. in science. What I learned in AP Biology last year about the respiratory system has actually helped me improve my times on the swim team. I shared that information with my teammates because, as captain, it’s part of my job.” You can stop there or share two more sentences at most. Remember, a two- to three-minute opener is a speech and is not necessary for an interview. An interview is a conversation with a point of discovery, and I can assure you the panel of interviewers wants to talk. People in power always do, and you’ve now provided them with three positive directions for follow-up questions. Such questions could include (1) “So you think you might like to major in biology?”, (2) “What swim stroke is your specialty?” and (3) “Did your teammates elect you captain, and if so, why do you think they did?”

You were tossed a nasty curve ball and hit a home run! Now all you have to do is run the bases. Here, we chose academics, sports and leadership – all relevant to the panel trying to discern what’s in it for their college (and their money) if they choose you. So it’s a safe bet they’re not interested in how much you love your cat – unless you saved her life in traffic or want to become a veterinarian. Those are exceptions we could make relevant, but there are usually better ways to go.

hundreds of nonprofits in the community’s philanthropic, health, education, arts and social justice sectors, including The Greater St. Louis Book Fair, Crisis Nursery Saint Louis, Food Outreach, Regional Arts Commission, Teach for America and YWCA, just to name a few. “Everyone in the [WOA] volunteers in numerous organizations, supplying the community with manpower and funds for nonprofits,” Karandjeff says. “If you name an organization, a WOA member probably was instrumental in its inception and success. There are WOA members in their 90s who are still volunteering in the community.” WOA’s annual selection process begins with a call for nominations each June through the following January. “Organizations, family members and friends will nominate women and tell us about how the person has inspired others and [how she] goes above and beyond to help the community,” Karandjeff says. The nonprofit annually receives approximately 100 nominations, and an initial selection committee narrows the field to 25 women. The final selection committee, composed of WOA members, along with community volunteers and sponsors, then selects the most deserving 10 women to be recipients of WOA awards that year. This year’s competition was extraordinary, making it difficult for the judges to pick the finalists, Karandjeff says. The result is 10 outstanding honorees who run the full gamut of volunteerism and nonprofits. WOA’s class of 2017 includes award-winning local mystery author Claire Applewhite, to be honored in the educational enrichment category for helping students through nonprofits including Voices of Excellence, a written and oral literacy program. Christine Buck will be recognized for youth dedication through her work with Mathews-Dickey Boys’ & Girls’ Club, among others. This year’s recipients also include Washington

University School of Law professor Adrienne D. Davis, awarded in the arts advocacy category for her work with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, The Black Rep and more. “She has been instrumental in bringing arts to young people of color,” Karandjeff says. Marlene Hammerman will be honored for her social justice efforts, including work with the National Advisory Committee on the Sex Trafficking of Children and Youth in the U.S. Honorees also include Little Bit Foundation co-founder Rosemary Hanley, to be lauded for her contributions to youth services. “She started in her home’s basement with just a few coats for kids, and now the [Little Bit Foundation] has 250 volunteers who help collect coats and give them to students at 25 schools,” Karandjeff says, adding that Hanley has grown the organization to aid 35,000 St. Louis-area students. Additionally, Margaret Hopkins will be recognized for community-betterment work, including building conservation and community beautification. And Dress for Success Midwest chief executive officer and founder Kathy Lambert will be honored for her social enterprise efforts. “[Dress for Success] provides women with job-interview clothing and job-interview skills, helping them get a job,” Karandjeff says. Elizabeth Mannen also will be lauded for volunteer leadership, through her work with Sing for Siteman, a cancer-research fundraiser; Lydia’s House, transitional housing for domestic violence victims; and many others. And Colleen Kelly Starkloff, founder and co-director of Starkloff Disability Institute, will be recognized for her human-welfare efforts through organizations including Paraquad, which helps people with disabilities. Finally, Asha Zimmerman will be awarded in the caring and compassion category for her work with nonprofits such as Friends of Wings, an end-of-life care program for kids diagnosed with terminal illnesses. These inspirational women will be celebrated during WOA’s annual spring luncheon, which will include videos highlighting the recipients’ volunteerism. Individuals and organizations can contribute to WOA by attending the luncheon in May, becoming a sponsor or donating through the organization’s website, woastl.org. Karandjeff says this year’s honorees are local leaders who inspire others to follow them in helping those in need across the community. “They instill their passion into friends and family, bringing them into the organizations they help,” she notes. “They are very humble women who do it for the joy of giving and making a difference.” Women of Achievement, 3418 Charlack Ave., No. 615, St. Louis, 314-896-4962, woastl.org

NIP, TUCK, GLOW: Feature Story West County PlastiC surgeons of Washington university

LOOK YOUR

Best Spring This

By Robyn Dexter

hether it’s a few wrinkles or a larger area of excess fat, West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University can help its patients look and feel their best before spring and summer. Dr. Marissa Tenenbaum and Dr. Terry Myckatyn are on the faculty of the Washington University School of Medicine and because of that are able to stay at the forefront of technology for plastic surgery. Tenenbaum notes that the “tried and true” procedure to remove excess fat is liposuction. “Liposuction is the gold standard for areas of unwanted, stubborn fat, as long as the skin quality is

reasonable,” she says. “It can be done in the office, but larger areas are done in the operating room.” Another procedure that’s nonsurgical is CoolSculpting. With CoolSculpting, a localized bulge of fat is placed in a special applicator for an hour, where the fat cells are cooled. Tenenbaum says it’s a “wonderful procedure,” but it often requires multiple treatments. “CoolSculpting can be done all over, fairly similarly to where liposuction can be used,” she says. “There’s no downtime, and 20 percent of excess fat can be trimmed with each treatment.” In terms of liposuction, Myckatyn says there’s a new form available called HydraSolve. West County Plastic

Surgeons is one of the first offices in the country to offer it. “[HydraSolve] is a new device that combines a very unique water-based technology with heat to remove fat,” he says. “It’s not strong enough of a water jet to cause trauma, and it’s not hot enough to burn, so it has a better safety profile.” Since they’re on the faculty at Washington University, Myckatyn says he and Tenenbaum have a good handle on the most peer-reviewed, evidencebased technology available. “Our office has such a broad range of services we offer. We can tailor treatments to the patient’s needs,” he says.

he Blue Duck, which opened in Maplewood in mid-February, features self-proclaimed classic comfort food with a twist. The 4,200-square-foot space, previously occupied by Monarch, features a full bar and a dining room with seats for 125. Aesthetically, a farmhouse-like feel highlights rustic industrial touches with complementary blues and oranges. The first location of The Blue Duck debuted in Washington, Missouri, seven years ago, before moving to a riverfront location in 2013.

We’ll be doing more experimenting here. It’s a bit more adventuresome and playful. If it sounds like fun to us, we’re going to try it out.” The full-service lunch and dinner menu includes favorites established over the years, such as the DLT, which features in-house cured and smoked duck breast, lettuce, tomato and honey-chipotle mayo on sourdough.

sweet treats. “We’re going with comfort classics for the desserts, such as French macarons and fried hand pies,” Karmen Rayburn says. “We’re also doing a smoked apple cinnamon steamed bun that’s a take on our smoked apple bourbon pie in Washington.” The bar offers six beers on draft, as well as a selection of cans and bottles, and other libations include The Blue Duck’s popular hillbilly sangria, made with Pinckney Bend whiskey. So whether for simply a cocktail or a comforting dish, The Blue Duck would make a perfect pre-performance destination for those wishing to catch Million Dollar Quartet from The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.

The Blue Duck, 2661 Sutton Blvd., Maplewood,

‌Story: Rising young rock-and-roll star Carl Perkins is rehearsing in the Sun Records studio at the Memphis Recording Service owned and operated by Sam Phillips. The latter has invited a piano prodigy named Jerry Lee Lewis to sit in on the session, much to Perkins’ annoyance. Phillips also is expecting another of his “boys,” Johnny Cash, to stop by. That’s a big deal because Phillips is about to reward Cash with a three-year contract to replace the one that is expiring. What he doesn’t know is that Cash has agreed to join Columbia Records, following in the footsteps of another of Phillips’ protégés, Elvis Presley. When Presley unexpectedly shows up with his girlfriend on that afternoon of December 4, 1956, with a Christmas present for his former boss, Phillips realizes he may have something quite special happening. He calls the Memphis Press-Scimitar, which sends its entertainment reporter and a photographer to document the four young stars at their impromptu jam, which Phillips has recorded. A story in the daily newspaper the next day refers to the “Million Dollar Quartet” who filled Sun Records with music, life and a spirited time that one fateful day. It’s an event that spans emotions from Phillips’ reaction to Cash’s news to the producer’s realization that his instincts and his “boys” have helped revolutionize the music world with their brand of playing – rock-and-roll. Highlights: The Rep caps its historic 50thanniversary season with a rollicking good-time rendition of this jukebox musical that recalls the first and only time four legendary pioneers of rock-and-roll performed together, if only briefly. The Rep’s presentation of Million Dollar Quartet is an infectious good time woven around a fascinating story. Other Info: Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux wrote the book of Million Dollar Quartet, which was first presented in Florida in 2006. A long-running production opened in Chicago in 2008 and eventually topped 2,500 performances before closing in 2016. The touring version played The Fabulous Fox Theatre as a one-act, 90-minute piece. The Rep’s rendition runs in two acts and for more than two hours, as it devotes more time to the story behind the session, increasing the dramatic impact. The intermission seems rather abrupt, but the story picks up easily in Act II. Hunter Foster, who originated the role of Sam Phillips in the Broadway production, is directing his fifth rendition of this lively jukebox musical. He uses all of the spacious, double-decked set designed by Adam Koch to focus on the show’s dramatic and comic moments as much as the music itself. This rendition of Million Dollar Quartet features an especially strong performance by James Ludwig as Phillips, who reveals the undying passion and belief the

impresario has in this new style of music that he knows is derived from the soul and sorrows of impoverished black musicians from the South. Ludwig serves as the show’s narrator, speaking often from the apron of the stage to explain how his “boys,” all Southern and mostly poor, could find such depth in their music. Sky Seals portrays the respectful and devoted Cash, who yearns to sing the gospel numbers at Columbia that Phillips denied him at Sun. His deep, rumbling voice lends credence to “Folsom Prison Blues” and the sweet, simple “Down by the Riverside.” Dominique Scott channels the unbridled passion and freewheeling expression of the piano-pounding Lewis, who may be married to two women at the same time and who definitely doesn’t lack for self-confidence. John Michael Presney doubles as the stiff-necked Perkins, who still chafes over the fact that Presley sang “Blue Suede Shoes” on Ed Sullivan’s national TV show – and that Presley’s adoring fans believe he wrote the song. Like the other band members, Presney’s accomplished musical skills make the show sizzle with flair and flash. Ari McKay Wilford has Presley’s patented swivel down pat and captures the man’s innate decency and humility. It was fun hearing Phillips’ singers do a number of songs from the era. The show ends with a rocking, infectious delivery of numbers that definitely is more concert than musical. Million Dollar Quartet is a fitting end to The Rep’s financially prosperous and critically acclaimed season. To reference a 1957 rockabilly hit from Lewis, on that set, there’s a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on.

The Wine Life WHAT I AM DRINKING NOW… By Stanley Browne

2015 ERATH PINOT NOIR – OREGON Grape: 100% Pinot Noir Owner/Winemaker: Dick Erath and Gary Horner Aged: 25% in new French oak with medium toast on barrel Approximate Retail Price: $18 TASTING NOTES: Color: Light red cherry Aroma: Baked berry pie Taste: Cherries, red currants, red plum, balanced acidity with soft tannins

ick Erath, one of the early pioneers in Oregon wine country, purchased the first vineyard site in the Chehalem Mountains in 1968. After completing his course work at the University of California, Davis, Erath relocated his family to the red hills of Dundee, Oregon. The following year, he planted 23 different

varietals of vines and found that pinot noir (for which Erath is best known today) flourished. By 1972, Erath produced his first commercial wine, with 216 cases. Winemaking is relatively new to Oregon, with adventurists setting up shop in the 1960s. Willamette Valley runs along the 45 degree global latitude, which is also famous for other wine regions such as Côtes du Rhône, France, and the Italian Piedmont. Another pioneer, David Lett of Eyrie Vineyards, brought his wines to a competition in Paris in 1979 and placed third among pinot noirs. The following year, Robert Drouhin of the famous Burgundy domaine winery invited Eyrie wines back to the competition, where the pinot improved to second place, heralding Oregon as a worldclass pinot noir-producing region. Winemaker Gary Horner joined Erath from Oregon’s Bethel Heights Vineyard, where he honed his own winemaking skills from 1988 to 1992. Horner is known for his skill in grape clone selection, suited to

particular vineyard sites to bring out the best fruit to enable him to make the best wine. Horner has had his hand in many projects from Benton-Lane Winery in Oregon, Avatar Partners in Napa Valley and Washington Hills Cellars in Washington. He believes making wine is a process, and many impurities can affect that process, so Horner also believes in utilizing modern technologies to help bring out the best. Oregon has a temperate climate with good rainfall and enough warmth to ripen the grapes; it is similar to parts of Europe, with many cool-climate grapes grown here. Pinot noir has excelled in Oregon and is often said to be a style that is between Burgundy and California. Food Pairings: This vintage pairs well with lighter-flavored foods such as roasted pork, risotto, pasta, chicken simmered with mushrooms and red wine.

RAT! By Bryan A. Hollerbach

Photos by Sarah Conroy | Art by Pikazo

The new app pikazo playfully seeks To scramble how we regard arT.

bruptly, thanks to Pikazo, the whole world can now go Andy Warhol. More specifically, the St. Louis-based smartphone app allows users to experiment with digital photos – effectively melding selfies or other snapshots with widely divergent “cloud”-based visual inputs like still other snapshots, classic paintings or random images – and approximate, say, Marilyn Diptych, the 1962 serigraph from the wiggy U.S. pop nonesuch who gave the world 15 minutes of fame. Co-founding Pikazo (a slantwise take, of course, on the surname of the Spaniard Pablo Picasso, perhaps the single most influential visual artist of the 20th century) were the husband-and-wife team of Karl Stiefvater and Lisa Donahue with Noah Rosenberg, who Donahue notes in passing has since departed the startup. “It took about a month to program, and we’ve been building on it ever since,” she says of Pikazo, which depends on artificial intelligence (a.k.a. AI) and some major cybernetic mojo courtesy of her spouse, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Washington University in St. Louis. “Karl was the sole developer originally.” Since its November 2015 launch, Donahue estimates, 250,000 users have downloaded the app, with about 1,000 also downloading “a holiday gift to our Pikazo users,” the related Coloring Book app. The ancillary app lets users input photos, output new versions of those photos as faceted paint-by-numbers-style black-and-white printouts and revisit the childhood glories of that Crayola box of 64 crayons (with its famous built-in sharpener). In discussing Pikazo, Donahue – who herself holds a Washington University Bachelor of Arts degree, incongruously, in Italian and drama – often flashes an impish wit. “That’s kind of been a question of the ages, right?” she says when asked about her personal definition of art. “Still working on that.” That impishness seems apt in the context of Pikazo, whose website sports the cliché-based slogan “Join the art world, no beret needed” and mentions Bob Ross of The Joy of Painting (a man and a PBS TV series not exactly exalted by fine artists), leading Donahue to note that “Pikazo has its serious side as well as its fun side – as well as a few other sides.” “For one thing, we believe that it’s a highly useful app for content creation that fills the wide gap between paying a designer to make original art and simply downloading something from Shutterstock,” she continues, referencing the global tech company that markets, among other things, creative visuals under license. “If you can make your own piece of original art, there are a million empty rectangles that are suddenly fillable. “Then on the other hand, our users are making beautiful creations with it. We’d be hard-pressed to say they aren’t artists, considering the beauty that we’re seeing come out of their phones. “Then another aspect is that the app itself is just fun to use. We have a Facebook Pikazo Salon where our users come to display their work, hold style competitions and make friends. We also bring our Pikazo photo booths to events – we’ll be at SXSW this year, turning people into art.” (Donahue here is referencing the annual multiday Austin, Texas, bash devoted to media of all sorts and more formally known as South by Southwest.) To illustrate Pikazo’s illustrative capabilities, Donahue offers an anecdote. “One of our early testers, a programmer with no artistic training, used the app to combine a picture of President [George W.] Bush with a picture of an exploding tower from 9/11,” she relates. “The result rendered Bush’s smirk as a fireball. We’d argue that’s art, and [Pikazo] allowed that tester to make something he otherwise never would have been able to do by himself. But of course, not everything that comes out is art. That makes the app like a paintbrush – it can be used to make art. It can also be used to paint rooms.” In service to its visual wizardry, Pikazo boasts a vast digital catalog of styles and effects called “Readymades” – in homage to the japes of France’s perennial artistic bad boy, Marcel Duchamp – which Donahue defines as “well-tested groups of styles that are a good jumping-off point for new users until they start finding their own styles. Usually, once you start playing around with Pikazo, everything you see becomes a style you want to photograph and try out.” She also touts Pikazo’s functionality as a primary differentiator between it and other, seemingly similar interfaces. “With other apps, you can take any photo and filter it, à la Instagram, using one

of a few pre-optimized styles available in the app – that’s pretty much it,” says Donahue. “Using Pikazo, you can combine any two images, any two images at all – one subject, one style. Flip them around and try it again. Style the same subject with all sorts of patterns. Use the same style on each member of your family. Infinite choices and combinations are available to the user. “While some combinations may perform ‘better’ than others, those choices are still up to the user, and the definition of a successful Pikazo is therefore intentionally subjective, which, in my humble opinion, is a game changer in terms of a defense for ‘But is it art?’” That functionality demands the major cybernetic mojo cited earlier, she adds. “The back-end complexity and computational power required to process each combination ‘to order,’ in real time, are comparatively intense,” Donahue says. “Rather than filtering or overlaying, Pikazo – by necessity of its mission to make any two previously unknown inputs become one new creation – must paint/ build/create/generate – we haven’t quite agreed on a verb yet – a brand-new image every time. It takes a few minutes to process using supercomputers in the cloud and then sends the finished piece to your phone.” Given some of the effects Pikazo achieves, informed readers may well wonder if its algorithms incorporate a randomizing element or something similar, a suspicion Donahue next addresses. “While it doesn’t include a specific randomizing function, no two Pikazo works will ever come out the same, just as two drawing students, even if given the same assignment – and even if they tried – will never produce two identical works,” she says. “Using the app, try submitting the same subject and style combination two different times, then compare the results. “There’ll be some interesting small differences. [For] example, the AI puts eyeballs where it feels eyeballs should go. Whether this happens because the AI simply confuses eyeballs, mouths and their respective placements as we understand those or because there are more complex matters of perception and artistic interpretation at play is a different question. “We’re pretty sure it’s mostly the former, though the app will try its best to create art, given its limited idea of what art is.” In light of Pikazo’s reliance on AI, Donahue ably fields an inquiry into whether the app could foster AA – artificial aesthetics. “Absolutely yes,” she replies. “Then again, what determines aesthetics? A lot of people would say that it’s what is evoked in a person by art. “Sometimes, we forget to consider artificial aesthetics because throughout our

day-to-day operations, we’re immersed in its considerations. For better or worse, we’ve focused on bringing the magic to the consumer – the client with a problem to solve – more than considering it academically. “That being said, we’d love to see Pikazo in the scholar’s toolbox and to actively participate in related research projects.” In a similar vein, when asked how she’d argue against Pikazo as just a conceptual refinement of, say, Thai elephants and other nonhuman “artists” that putatively paint, Donohue responds quite thoughtfully. “I think it’s wrong to compare Pikazo to an artist,” she replies. “It’s an artist’s tool, not the artist himself. It does blur the distinction by using artificial intelligence, but at the end of the day, there’s still a human being at the helm directing the show. “That said, the day of an entirely automatic artistic system is quickly approaching. For example, the case of a neural network trained to recognize ‘good’ art. It’s created from a huge body of works that humans have rated from 1 to 10 on the ‘good art’ scale. So it has some – limited – concept of what good means. Then it uses Pikazo to randomly generate 1,000 pieces and chooses one that scores a 10. Is that art? “That’s a fascinating question with no simple answers – it’s the artistic equivalent of the Turing test,” she concludes, referring to the famed 1950 cybernetic protocol developed by the polymath Alan Turing to judge a device’s ability to mimic or exhibit human intelligence. Ultimately, Donahue addresses how the Pikazo team might respond to credentialed fine artists who take umbrage at having their expertise and endeavors reduced to the equivalent of a few screen taps. “We totally get that,” she says. “For one thing, we are artists ourselves. … We don’t think that this new evolution of art takes the place of traditional artistry, though it can stand alongside in the same way that digital music can stand alongside rock-and-roll. “Consider an analogy to photography. Did the invention of the photograph – which takes only a single click – diminish the work of hand-painted portraiture? At the time, some painters may have thought so. But after 100 years, we see that each art form has evolved along their own paths, responding to and evolving from each other. “It needn’t be a competition.” Pikazo, 3407 S.
