R ANKEN JORDAN PEDIATRIC BRIDGE HOSPITAL

Action

Swing Into

By Robyn Dexter Photo by Sarah Conroy

There’s a great need for this level of care in our community and in the country. – LAURI TANNER

n 2016, Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital’s annual golf tournament saw record-breaking statistics: 63 foursomes, more than 300 guests and nearly $150,000 raised. This year, Ranken Jordan is setting the bar even higher. The 2017 golf tournament will take place on July 24 at the Norwood Hills Country Club. As always, the event will kick off with a ceremonial tee shot for differing abilities. Ranken Jordan CEO Lauri Tanner says this year’s ceremonial tee shot will feature a few Ranken Jordan inpatients and outpatients to help showcase the hospital’s work. The children are part of Ranken Jordan’s golfas-therapy program and work every week with PGA professional Kevin Corn. “Our golf pro [Corn] has volunteered his time for seven years now,” Tanner says. “He’s a trailblazer and golf leader for teaching children how to play. He not only teaches kids but kids with different abilities, too.” On Wednesday afternoons at Ranken Jordan, Corn comes in to help teach the hospital’s inpatients and outpatients about golf. He was recognized earlier this year for his work with the hospital, and he received the U.S. PGA Golf Founder’s Award in January at the PGA Show in Orlando. Tanner says Corn has helped the kids with their game and helped get their parents involved so the whole family can play together. “We’re seeing more kids from our program wanting to play in the tournament itself,” Tanner says. “They’re so proud of what they’ve been able to accomplish and want to help raise money for other kids.” Tom Ackerman is the tournament’s master of ceremonies again this year, and Tanner had nothing but praise for the job he does. “[Ackerman] does such a fabulous job,” she says. “I closed my eyes last year and thought I was in Augusta at the Masters Golf Tournament.” The annual tournament helps to fund the hospital’s programming and to continue its mission of bridging the gap between traditional hospital treatment and home treatment. Right now, Ranken Jordan is halfway through constructing an expansion that will enable it to take in twice as many children. The hospital broke ground on the 78,000-square-foot expansion this past October and hopes to have a grand opening ceremony at the end of January 2018. “There’s a great need for this level of care in our community and in the country,” Tanner says. “With this expansion, we’ll be ready to take on twice the amount of kids in a year.” Currently, Ranken Jordan treats more than 600 children each year. It has a 34-bed inpatient program and several outpatient programs that help care for children in the greatest way possible. Tanner has high hopes for this year’s tournament and knows the supporters and fans of the hospital’s work will help fill the courses out at Norwood Hills Country Club. To register for the tournament or learn more, visit rankenjordan. org/events/golf or call 314-872-6512.

wenty lots went for auction at the Endangered Wolf Center’s 2017 Wolves and Wine Auction, held at Selkirk Auctioneers and Appraisers in St. Louis’ Central West End. Benefiting the center, those lots featured one-of-a-kind experiences at the center and elsewhere, paired with fabulous wines, spirits and wolf-themed art. Announced that evening was the birth of a Mexican wolf pup via artificial insemination – a first, and a useful tool to maintain genetic diversity in packs. Special guests at the event were eastern hognose snake Clay and Daisy the fennec fox. Founded by Wild Kingdom’s Marlin Perkins, the center has been working to preserve and protect Mexican wolves, red wolves and other wild canid species for more than 40 years. Carrie Rutherford, Paul Zemitzsch, Susan Zimmerman

I have been at the Endangered Wolf Center for five years now, and I never thought that I would work for just a species of the wolf. Although we have many animals, they are the most polarizing animal, and they are the one that needs the most help. So what we’re doing here at the Endangered Wolf Center is to just continue to bring awareness about the center. We’ve been here for 45 years, and we’re still the best-kept secret in St. Louis. And tonight is just about raising awareness to continue to do our mission – and that is to preserve and protect Mexican and red wolves in the wild.

CAMP RAINBOW FOUNDATION

or many kids, summer camp is an annual highlight of childhood. Making new friends, trying new things and gaining a bit of early independence are benefits that camp offers kids. But some children have unique challenges, and for them, traditional camps might not be an option. Fortunately for St. Louis-area children who are undergoing treatment for or are survivors of cancer and blood-related diseases and disorders, Camp Rainbow makes summer camp possible. Camp Rainbow Foundation provides a variety of free camps for these children and their families. “We offer a recreational and nurturing environment for campers, where children can create positive memories, build self-esteem, make new friends and are relieved of the stresses caused by their illness,” says executive director Heather Bachman. Now in its 30th season, Camp Rainbow and its 350-plus volunteers have served more than 5,700 children with six free programs: Day Camp, Summer Overnight Camp, Family Camp, Teen Camp, Camp-In and Teens-N-Twenty. Last year, 660 campers participated in Camp Rainbow programs. “Our one-week overnight summer camp and day camp programs are designed to provide these children with the opportunity to enjoy a true camping experience,” Bachman says. “An environment such as this allows our campers to interact with others who are currently sharing a similar life experience while providing all of the fun activities one might expect from a traditional summer camp: arts and crafts, swimming, interactive music, nature, drama, sports and special theme days.” Self-esteem often flourishes in this judgment-free atmosphere, Bachman adds. “There is no societal pressure relative to the visual side effects of the illnesses, such as hair loss due to chemotherapy, scars, catheters, ports,

JUNE 2, 2017 | LadueNews.com

wheelchair use, etc. And with a full medical staff on the premises, parents feel secure in the knowledge that each child’s unique medical needs can be met should an emergency arise or if a chemotherapy treatment session happens to be scheduled during the camp day.” The Camp-In program allows children who are unable to leave the hospital or must make frequent visits to the clinic for treatment to enjoy camp activities right where they are. Volunteers bring activities to the children, offering games, crafts and other fun activities on the oncology floors of St. Louis Children’s Hospital, Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital and Cardinal Kids Cancer Center at Mercy Medical Center. Teens face different issues than children who have cancer. Teen Camp addresses their special needs during three days in March at Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park in Wildwood. Teens participate in activities such as bowling, ropes courses, nature hikes, games, movies, arts and crafts, and a social action project. Spending time with peers who also face the challenges of a cancer diagnosis, teens’ feelings are validated, and they learn and share effective coping strategies. As Camp Rainbow’s newest program, just beginning this year, Teens-NTwenty gives older teens and 20-somethings a way to stay in touch with one another after bonding at Teen Camp. Bachman stresses that the most important thing Camp Rainbow provides for participants is a feeling of normalcy during an abnormal life situation. “Camp Rainbow strives to capitalize on all of the aspects that cancer cannot destroy: self-esteem, adventure, peer groups, new friends and the ability to simply feel like a regular individual.” Camp Rainbow Foundation, 314-469-8035, camprainbow.com

VOLUNTEER JESSICA DAVIS

At 4 years old, Jessica Davis was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis. As the name implies, it’s a big disease for a little girl. “It’s pretty much the inability to block tumors in my body,” she explains. “I had a tumor on my optic nerve, which caused me to be blind in one eye and was cancerous, so they treated it with chemotherapy, and that’s why I got to go to camp.” As a bald 6-year-old, Davis was worried when her mother told her she would be going to summer camp. “The first thing I said was, ‘No, I

don’t want to go because the kids will make fun of me because I don’t have hair.’ But my mom told me, ‘That’s what’s special about this camp – lots of kids there won’t have hair.’” Now 31, Davis will soon be marking her 20th year at Camp Rainbow. She returned as a camper for four years and then as a volunteer, working with children who faced the same scary treatments she did. Even in her professional life, she is dedicated to children as director of curriculum at Tiger Tots Child Development Center in Columbia, Missouri. NEW DEALERSHIP COMING SOON

THE CENTER FOR HEAD INJURY SERVICES

By Connie Mitchell | Photos courtesy of The Center for Head Injury Services

ears ago, people who experienced brain injuries that left them with long-term disabilities had few options. Some were relegated to nursing homes, even if they were still young. Others relied on family for long-term care. But since 1986, The Center for Head Injury Services (CHIS) has been helping people live and work independently despite life-altering brain injuries, autism and other disabilities. “Our strength is that we have built a continuum of services, and people can enter at different points based on individual needs,” says executive director Donna Gunning. People of all ages can take advantage of the organization’s services, which Gunning refers to as “stepping stones to independence and employment.” Over the years, CHIS has steadily expanded, providing 600 to 700 people a year with an increasing number of programs in the St. Louis area, including St. Charles County. A number of local organizations refer clients to the center, while other individuals contact the center themselves to begin therapeutic or employment readiness programs. Children and adults who need adaptive equipment therapies can obtain occupational therapy and assessments in the home or through the adaptive equipment lending library. “We help them learn how to work with adaptive technologies and determine how to set up what they need,” Gunning says. Adults who have completed initial rehabilitation programs (like physical or occupational therapy as part of treatment following a brain injury) but have permanent disabilities learn how to regain life skills and return to their lives, including work. Once they move into their own homes, the center’s community support program assists people who may need help with daily tasks, such as managing their finances, shopping and cooking. CHIS’s day program continues to provide cognitive and enrichment activities, matching clients with volunteer opportunities and strengthening

JUNE 2, 2017 | LadueNews.com

vocational skills. Job training programs in cooperation with local businesses allow CHIS staff to accompany clients as they learn on-the-job skills. In addition to the practical skills and job training programs, CHIS provides a medical program with occupational, speech and physical therapy. “We had a fully functioning medical department when Missouri’s Medicaid covered those services for people who had exhausted their insurance or didn’t have any coverage,” Gunning recalls. Research shows that people continue to make gains when they stick with rehabilitative services beyond what insurance companies will pay for, Gunning says. Therefore, the center continues ongoing therapy to some clients through other state programs, such as those provided by the Department of Mental Health. The newest program in the CHIS panoply is Talent Connect, started in 2014 and funded by the New York-based Poses Family Foundation’s Workplace Initiative. Working with corporate leaders who want to diversify their workforces to include people with disabilities, the Talent Connect program specializes in manufacturing distribution. “We offer the companies a service and a connection to people,” Gunning says. “We go into their business and see what their needs are and what people in the distribution department do. We then put together tests that will screen candidates for those positions.” As CHIS continues to provide creative solutions for clients, Gunning says the heart of the organization remains in meeting people where they most need help and customizing services to help them work toward their goals for future success.

HUMANE SOCIETY OF MISSOURI

By Connie Mitchell | Photos courtesy of Humane Society of Missouri

o one can resist a cute little puppy or kitten, and that’s what we tend to think when we hear about the Humane Society of Missouri (HSMO). But there’s so much more to this important organization than providing furry pets with forever homes. HSMO’s mission is to help “end the cycle of abuse and pet overpopulation through our rescue and investigation efforts, spay/neuter programs and educational classes.” In fact, the HSMO Animal Cruelty Task Force (ACT) is one of the largest animal rescue and disaster response teams in the nation, points out president Kathy Warnick. For more than 40 years, ACT has collaborated with national, state and local law enforcement to investigate and help prosecute animal abusers. The organization has 15 animal cruelty investigators and staff who annually aid more than 26,000 animals, respond to more than 10,400 reports of abuse or neglect, and travel more than 313,000 miles in the process. “HSMO’s animal cruelty investigators understand the nuances of animal abuse law and the criminal justice process for documenting and filing evidence and work directly with sheriffs’ offices, police departments and prosecuting attorneys to help ensure animal cases are handled in an expedient and professional manner,” Warnick says. HSMO investigators also provide expert testimony in legal cases and before legislative bodies and provide consultation and training workshops for law enforcement, state agencies, and local animal care and control workers. “Together, they work to hold people accountable for the abuse and neglect of animals in the St. Louis metropolitan region and all of Missouri,” she adds. To address the pet overpopulation issue, HSMO’s Animal Medical Center of Mid-America offers low-cost spay or neuter surgeries through its SNIP

program. Since the 1970s, HSMO has spayed or neutered more than 375,000 animals. The educational aspect of its mission is completed through its Humane Education program, which “teaches respect for all living creatures to thousands of school-age children through the Humane IQ program for at-risk students, Club Hope after-school program and summer camps,” Warnick says. Teachers can download lesson plans that incorporate humane-related activities, and HSMO’s director of humane education offers an eight-hour Humane Care and Animal Ethics course as part of sentencing for people convicted of animal abuse. Then, of course, there are the puppies: HSMO is the largest provider of adoptable pets in Missouri, and more than 8,000 animals are placed by the organization each year. Adoption centers are located in St. Louis, Maryland Heights and Chesterfield, and all accept strays or pets surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them. “HSMO accepts all stray and unwanted animals, thereby protecting the community from dangerous or diseased animals and other problems associated with pet overpopulation,” Warnick says. Once animals are spayed or neutered, HSMO continues to provide veterinary care. HSMO’s Animal Medical Center of Mid-America provides 40,000 private client visits each year at the three St. Louis area clinics combined. Proceeds from veterinary centers help animals at HSMO. The many efforts of HSMO will continue to decrease the problem of pet overpopulation in years to come, helping to ensure that all those cute puppies and kittens certainly do find happy forever homes.

VOLUNTEER PATTY KROSCH

I have plenty of spreadsheets. What I really need is a

roadmap

Patty Krosch has always loved animals, so she was a bit concerned that if she volunteered with the Humane Society of Missouri (HSMO), she’d want to bring all the dogs home with her. However, after 16 years of walking dogs as one of the organization’s Pet Pals, Krosch has yet to bring home a single companion animal. “I just told myself that if I brought home a dog, I’d want to spend all my time with that dog and wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with all the others,” she says with a laugh. Krosch spends about nine hours a week as a Pet Pal, taking dogs out for short walks. She notes that her role involved orientation in which she learned about dog behavior and procedures for walking dogs that might have no prior experience being on a leash. “Quite a few need to learn how to walk on a leash, so it’s not like walking the family dog,” she says. Krosch walks the dogs for her benefit as well as theirs. “It’s really something I always wanted to do, and when I retired, I had the time,” she says. “It’s good exercise, and the time passes quickly. It’s just ideal for me.”

I just told myself that if I brought home a dog, I’d want to spend all my time with that dog and wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with all the others. - Patty Krosch

Krosch notes that there are many volunteer opportunities at the HSMO, and not all of them involve direct contact with animals. “There’s clerical work, there’s work to help with events, there are people who work with the cats and kittens,” she says. “There’s lots you can do, and it’s just a lot of fun.”

Should I

Move or Remodel? ‌A By Jill Worobec, CKD, UDCP | Photos supplied by Toby Weiss of Mosby Building Arts‌

s a designer, I’m often asked by clients if moving is a better decision than remodeling their existing home. The answer is different for each situation. Moving and remodeling are both emotional and financial decisions, but I’ve found that homeowners’ answers to these three questions will help them best determine if they should move or remodel: 1. Am I in a committed relationship? Are you committed to your current home? Do you see yourself living there seven years from now – or even longer? If you answer no, then only minor cosmetic updates are in order to keep the home in style and up to date for resale in the near future. Keep your eye on moving. If you answer yes, then remodel to create your ideal lifestyle. 2. How do I feel about the neighborhood? Assess these items about your neighborhood and the surrounding area: location, local schools, traffic on and near your street, and safety and crime. These are conditions that are beyond your control, and you either like them “as is” or wish they could be improved. If any of these items are a bigger fixer-upper than your own home, it’s a better use of funds to move. If you’re satisfied or happy with these items, then your home and the surrounding neighborhood can usually

support investment in a major remodeling project. 3. Do I have a spare $12,000? According to many psychologists, the most stressful event that you can experience is divorce. The second most stressful event on that list, though, is selling your home and moving! Yes, for some, the mere thought of finding an agent, preparing to list your home, repairing your existing home and having showings; then actually shopping for a new home; and then packing, moving, cleaning, etc., are enough to drive you mad! The cost of relocating a three-bedroom household using professional packers and movers averages $12,000. And there are plenty of other expenses with preparing the old place to sell and getting the new place in order. It’s not unheard of to spend upwards of $20,000 to sell and move. There’s no payback whatsoever in moving. That $12,000 to $20,000 may be better invested in your existing home. Also, keep in mind that most of us do some level of renovating in the new place we move to. Ironically, you could potentially be performing the same updates and remodeling that someone else chose not to do by selling that house! Add the cost of potential remodels to the price of moving to a new place. If you plan on staying in your home seven years or

more because you like the neighborhood, you’re better off investing that money in your house rather than into nonrecoupable sales and relocation expenses. Homeownership and remodeling are lifestyle choices, first and foremost, and financial choices, second. It’s always been a rule of thumb that remodeling is more cost-effective than selling and moving, but as with any rule, there are exceptions. It pays to analyze all aspects of the situation before making a decision. Either choice creates a lifestyle change and disruption. So take the time to honestly answer the preceding three questions so you can feel certain you’re making the right choice.

Greener Where the Grass Is

By Brittany Nay | Photos by Sarah Conroy

Clean air lawn Care takes root in st. louis to provide sustainable serviCes for lusher yards and healthier environments.

hether they’re playing catch with their kids or fetch with their pets, Clean air Lawn Care clients are breathing easier knowing environmentally friendly, child- and pet-safe practices are being used to maintain their yards this summer. Clean air Lawn Care, the st. Louis franchise of the nationwide chain of the same name, was launched this spring by owner Craig Martin. the local lawn care company offers a full range of sustainable services, from organic lawn treatments and solar-powered mowing to yard cleanup. the company uses solar-powered equipment charged through the solar panels mounted atop the company vehicle that visits clients’ homes, which helps to reduce local air, noise and water pollution. the green-friendly business, which also includes Martin’s wife, Katie FeltsMartin, takes a unique approach to lawn maintenance, considering the health of your yard, family, pets, neighbors and the local environment when caring for every blade of grass. the company offers weekly, as well as one-time, services. For clients who opt for long-term maintenance, Clean air visits their yard every week to provide sustainable lawn care, including mowing and trimming with solar-powered equipment. “We mow the grass at a taller height of 3 inches because it’s healthier on the grass root system, easier on the equipment, and it looks better,” Martin says. “and we mulch in grass clippings and leaves, putting all that nitrogen right back into the soil.” the nitrogen nourishes the turf, and the company’s strategy of cutting off just an inch of grass with each weekly mow allows lawns to grow greener and lusher, with less room for weeds and more space on each blade to bring in the sun and oxygen your yard needs to grow fuller, Martin explains. every five to six weeks from spring through fall, Clean air returns to each client’s yard to apply a low volume of organic fertilizer, a granular product made with plantbased ingredients such as alfalfa, molasses and kelp. the organic treatments feed the grass root system for healthier growth, as well as eliminate chemical runoff into local waterways – a pollution issue caused by traditional lawn fertilizers. “By going chemical-free with us, you’re not bringing [toxins] into your house, and you don’t

have to worry about what you and your kids and pets are touching [in the yard],” Martin notes. In addition to preventing water pollution, Clean air’s equipment reduces noise and air pollution. the company’s solar mowers are 50 percent quieter than their traditional gas-powered counterparts, Martin says. “It’s great for homeowners and their neighbors. We will be working on a yard, and the homeowners might not even know we’re here.” additionally, the solar mowers don’t release toxic emissions into the environment, while environmental Protection agency studies have shown that small-engine mowers and trimmers account for 5 to 10 percent of annual air pollution, including chemicals such as nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide and unspent fuel emitted at an hourly rate equivalent to the emissions of your sport utility vehicle after it travels several thousand miles. Clean air can service your yard year-round, including spring and fall yard cleanup, blowing and mulching leaves, and flower-bed weeding, as well as overseeding (to fill in any thin or bare spots in your lawn) and core aeration (to allow oxygen, water and other nutrients to reach your lawn’s root system, encouraging growth and proper drainage). “We take our time on each property; we want to make sure your lawn looks awesome every week,” Martin notes, adding that his business goes the extra mile to put on finishing touches, including trimming vertical edges on the lawn, blowing grass clippings from sidewalks and driveways, and pulling any weeds that may pop up to prevent them from spreading until he returns the next week. Fuller, healthier lawns benefit Clean air’s clients, who increasingly use their yards to expand their living spaces and reflect their lifestyles, Martin explains. When st. Louisans pull into their driveways after long days at work or play, they see lush, green lawns maintained by Clean air Lawn Care, he says, adding, “People take pride in their lawn, and we take pride in it, too.” Clean Air Lawn Care, 314-474-0028, cleanairlawncarestlouis.com

sprawling Ladue estate, fitted with the finest features, epitomizes the type of grandeur people have come to expect from a name like Coldwell Banker and The Ryan Tradition. The reputable agency has taken on a new identity for its upper end properties, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury. Yet as this impressive property proves, business is as strong as it’s ever been, as the company continues to deliver the very best in luxury real estate. John Ryan of The Ryan Tradition talks about the appeal of this latest offering from the famed agency, 44 Overhills Drive. “New construction is very appealing because you get the most modern elements – and people are looking for that,” he says. “With this house, there is an opportunity to have something exceptional. You are looking at the most sophisticated level of features with a whole house sound system, extensive customizable lighting, full security, high-end appliances, current kitchen and bath fixtures, custom cabinets and the finest materials. It’s the latest and greatest.” The 4-bedroom, 4 full-bathroom and 4 half-bathroom stone estate showcases smart design and sophisticated style. “Designed by one of St. Louis’ prime architecture firms, Dick Busch Architects, its style is classic … meant to look like it’s been around forever,” Ryan shares. “As you go through the house, the spaces have a traditional feel to them due to the millwork and ceiling heights, but its finish is more contemporary.” Top of mind for designers with this $5.2 million property was marrying splendor with convenience to create an extraordinary setting for residents

and guests. “The main-floor master suite features a beautiful bedroom, with 12-foot ceilings and huge his-and-her closets,” Ryan shares. “The bath features exceptional marble treatment, a Baccarat chandelier, a freestanding tub and a heated floor. The main spaces all easily connect, with a design centered on the terrace and pool. The saltwater pool has two waterfalls, a pool shelf and lighted bubbler, plus a saltwater hot tub. The 800-square-foot covered outdoor living space is connected to the house and includes a pass-through wet bar to the hearth room, giving it a real resortlike feel. If you were just dropped right here, you couldn’t be sure whether you were on vacation or at home.” That feeling of being on holiday describes the approach of the agency, which continues to set the bar for luxury real estate. “Coldwell Banker has been a leader in the prestigious luxury real estate market dating back to 1933,” Ryan says. “The brand has evolved into the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program. The Ryan Tradition is synonymous with luxury real estate. We have specialized in the St. Louis luxury market for more than 50 years, highlighting communities like Clayton, Ladue, Frontenac, Huntleigh, and Town and Country. Last year, we had the top sales in the Clayton and Ladue School Districts. Since 1991, we’ve had $970-plus million in sales and are leading the market in highest-priced sales and highest average price.”

By Kimmie Gotch

ere in the peak of wedding season, whether you’re a bride-to-be or otherwise involved in upcoming nuptials, paying attention to a few cosmetic trends should be integral. Natural Skin. Having natural-looking, airbrushed skin on your big day? Huge! No bride wants “cake face” – heavily caked-on facial makeup – for her nuptials. Achieve a natural dermal glow with airbrush makeup by seeking a professional in your area who provides this service. Another key to natural-looking skin involves skipping the super-dark spray tan. Instead, opt for a lighter spray tan. To look like the best version of yourself as you walk down the aisle, do everything you can to maximize your skin’s natural beauty. Bright Cheeks. To look like the archetypal blushing bride, wear the right amount of blush on your cheeks. No matter your skin color, a bright pop of color there will look lovely. To achieve this effect, apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, then blend upward toward

your cheekbones. Pink Lips. Although some brides opt for classic red lips, pink lips are trending now. So find a shade of pink with just enough pop against your skin tone – but make sure it still looks natural. Also, avoid choosing a hue that’s too “nude,” to ensure your lips stand out in photos instead of blending into the rest of your face. And last but scarcely least, keep your lipstick with you throughout your wedding day to reapply it when needed. Bold Eyes. Natural skin and bold eyes make a killer combo. The absence on the rest of your face of heavy makeup allows your eyes to become the stars of the

show. Bronze, smoky eyes have become très popular among today’s brides, and black, gray and dark purple shades also make great smoky eye shadows. Lots of Lashes. Abundant eyelashes perfect a bride’s peepers. Achieve long, fluffy lashes best with lash extensions or strip lashes. And whatever else you do, wear waterproof mascara for your wedding – against the inevitable tears of joy. Otherwise, whether you’re doing your own makeup for your nuptials or getting professional assistance, absolutely conduct a trial run so you know exactly how you’ll look on the big day!

Bohemian Babies offers durable, stylish handmade duds for your pint-size sartorialist.

elf-professed “maker at heart, lover of all things bohemian and old soul,” Amanda Whittle is the brains behind Bohemian Babies, the St. Louis-based baby and children’s clothing company, which specializes in handmade, unique, fashionable clothing for babies and infants, as well as young girls and boys. A classic desk job-turned-maker story, Whittle was doing bookkeeping for a small business until 2010, when she was unexpectedly laid off. She and her husband opted for her to stay home with her 2-year-old son, where she began exploring creative projects to keep her hands busy. “I’ve always been a creative person, filling my free time with DIY home décor projects and paper crafting, but I wanted to step up my game, so I purchased a cheap sewing machine,” Whittle recalls. “I started by making some pillows and curtains for our house; then I began appliquéing shirts for my son. It kind of snowballed, and before I knew it, I was sewing every day at nap time.” Impressively, Whittle is a self-taught seamstress. “I hadn’t ever touched a sewing machine until I bought mine in 2010,” she says. “That’s so bizarre to think about, considering not a day goes by now that I don’t use it. I started off with really simple projects and just slowly taught myself – it’s funny how something that is once so foreign can become second nature to you.” She encourages others to step out of their comfort zone in the same way: “I often get the comment ‘You’re so talented,’ and I tell people that they can do it, too! It just takes a lot of practice and a little patience.” Whittle founded her Etsy shop in 2011. “I figured if I was already sewing and it was something I enjoyed, I might as well make a few extra bucks from it,” she says. “I had no idea at the time that six years later, it would be the business it is today!” Bohemian Babies wares include a handful of signature designs in various fabrics – a simplified offering of products to

capitalize on customer favorites. “These are items that people just couldn’t get enough of and were always asking for more,” Whittle says. “The designs that we now offer [are the result of] years of trial and error. [The customer] usually tells me where to go; I just have the easy job of picking the fabrics.” Items begin at birth to 3 months and go up to a size 6, with some dresses going up to a girls’ size 12. Last year, Bohemian Babies debuted a collection of made-to-order draped kimonos that are one-size-fitsmost for mommies and sizes 2 to 7 for their minis. Prices range from $12 for bibs to $40 for dresses, with eight-piece capsule wardrobes for the tiniest of fashion icons starting at $140. “We offer a little something for almost everyone!” Whittle says. Like any mama who’s been in the trenches for any length of time, Whittle is well-versed in what parents are looking for in their kids’ clothing: fun patterns in unique designs, but also high-quality, durable fabrics that play as hard as the kids who wear them and that

are tough enough to be tossed into the washer and dryer. “[It’s] stuff that your kids can play in the dirt in, then turn around and wear to brunch the next day,” Whittle says. “Comfort has become my No. 1 priority – practicality is key.” That said, Whittle still loves Bohemian Babies’ eclectic aesthetic, including large floral prints and other patterns one wouldn’t expect of children’s clothing. Rompers (“My absolute favorite right now,” Whittle says.), hats, leggings, harem pants, bodysuits, fringe crop tops, dresses, bandana bibs and “shorties” – tiny cuffed shorts with a squeal-inducing fit for chubby baby legs – are 100 percent handmade by Whittle and her two-person team. “We cut all of the patterns from a bolt of fabric and sew each item individually,” Whittle says. “I love the fact that I literally put my hands on every piece that leaves my studio. All of these items are made of the softest knit material.” For late summer and early fall, Whittle will be adding quite a few new prints. “I just ordered all the

fabric, and it’s going to be so good,” she says. “It’s a lot more earthy than what I’ve done before.” Bohemian Babies clothing can be found online at bohemianbabies.shop or Whittle’s Etsy shop, as well as local retailers such as Botanical Heights’ Union Studio and Philomena + Ruth in Waterloo, Illinois, plus other select retailers across the country. She will also be at The Grand Market: Fashion, Flowers + Folk on Sunday, June 4, and Strange Folk Festival, which will be held from Sept. 22 to 24 in Lafayette Park. “I love to do this for a living,” Whittle says. “I know it’s just clothes, but it seems to bring so much joy to people’s lives. It makes my heart full when people post pictures on Instagram gushing over whatever they’ve bought – and the sweet babes in the clothes sure don’t hurt, either!” Bohemian Babies, bohemianbabies.shop

Sweet Harmonies LadueNews.com | JUNE 2, 2017

Game ON! ‌As we head into summer, I’ve been thinking lots of thoughts on sports and life. Here are seven:

I don’t really blame Blues fans for being upset. Fifty years is a long time to wait for the Stanley Cup. This postseason set up nicely, too, without a powerhouse team in the way. This should have been the year – the Winter Classic season. The magical 50. We’re a hockey city of Hull, Pronger and Federko. Nashville’s a city of Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings and Patsy Cline. How does this happen? It always does.

I believe Doug Armstrong had a heck of a spring with his moves. Mike Yeo replaced a Hall of Famer and went 22-8-2 down the stretch, having Jake Allen be coached by Martin Brodeur, picking up Vladimír Sobotka and getting good value in the Kevin Shattenkirk trade. The nucleus is young and talented. This team is built to win for years. However, how many years have we said that?

The Cardinals have a chance to stick around and compete with the Cubs. That statement

would not have been made after just the first two weeks of April. They were a 3-9 team, with their pitching prospect out for the year and still a club with defensive and base-running issues. They’ll still never be confused with the 1982 Cardinals when it comes to fundamentals. However, starting pitching is a panacea for all problems. Make no mistake, this starting group can really pitch.

There’s always a great uproar on college campuses when it’s revealed how much a coach is making. The latest is Nick Saban at Alabama. With bonuses, he’ll make more than $11 million. But he’s worth every penny – and more. He’s turned a crappy little college town into an incredible Southern city. He’s built buildings and skyrocketed the enrollment. Can a biology teacher do that?

So our town has lost football and likely soccer – but we’re getting a sport back. It’s called college basketball. It’s been gone for three solid years. There was no reason to watch it on TV or go to a game. That changes at SLU and Mizzou from here on out. Travis

I also can’t wait till the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 this August. Curtis Francois will have, on that track, the same field that runs in the Indy 500. This is big-time. One study shows the event’s total economic impact at $50 million. Keep in mind, that track was dead a few years back. Our town has a chance to be one of the better racing cities in the country. We have Gateway Motorsports Park to thank for that.

There are seven for seven things I can’t live without right now. Netflix, a treadmill, The Hill, my dogs, Rick Warren’s sermons, political shows and a milk experience every night with something sweet to eat.

Protecting Kids From Melanoma

Dr. Joseph Kahn

he incidence of melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, has lately been increasing in children (as well as adults, most notably women under the age of 40). Diagnoses have been rising in the U.S. by approximately 2 percent each year, particularly in those aged 15 to 19, with an estimated 500 children in America diagnosed annually. Melanoma is thought to be caused by exposure to UVB (shorter-wavelength ultraviolet light) rays, particularly in people who suffer blistering sunburns before the age of 20. In that regard, just a few serious sunburns can increase a child’s risk of skin cancer later in life. Although most people consider tan skin healthy, it (along with pink and out-and-out red skin) effectively has been damaged, so know how to protect your children (as well as yourself) from harmful UV exposure. Remember this: Be “made in the shade.” For safety’s sake, consider four quick bits of advice. First, make your children remain indoors during the midday sun, or tell them to stay in the shade if they do go out. Second, cover their skin, noting that some children’s clothing is certified to be protective.

Third, have your children wear hats to lessen or avoid solar exposure to their heads – especially their faces, ears and noses, whose greater area or protuberance increases such exposure. Fourth, also have your children wear sunglasses because excessively exposing their eyes to the sun can contribute to cataract formation later in life. Otherwise, for application to your children, select a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) number of at least 15 and preferably 30, as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.

Innsbrook Institute Summer Music Festival and Academy founders Edmund Boyce and David Halen look back on 17 years of world-class concerts in anticipation of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festivities. David Halen and Edmund Boyce, Photo by Sarah Conroy

wenty years ago on a Friday the 13th, David Halen, the concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony, had a chance meeting on the stage of Powell Hall with entrepreneur and land developer Edmund Boyce. The night turned out to be good luck for both men. That evening, Halen was there to give a beginning violin lesson (just for fun) to Edward Jones’ John Bachmann. Boyce had arrived for a meeting of the Friday the 13th Club (a social club that meets for breakfast or lunch on, you guessed it, every Friday the 13th). “When we met, Ed told me about his love of nature and dream to start a music school at his Innsbrook Resort Community that he had created in Warren County, 46 miles from St. Louis,” Halen says. Halen wanted a summer music school near St. Louis, as well, and Boyce also wanted a music festival like the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado. A graduate of Regis College in Denver, Boyce says: “I always loved Colorado, and when I took my two sons hiking in the Aspen area, we discovered the Aspen Institute [and] its young artists. We loved the music and the beauty of the mountains.” In January 2000, after some fine wine, the duo decided to combine their talents and expertise and turn their dreams into a reality. “Everyone predicted it would be a colossal failure,” Boyce says, “but our mutual love of the Aspen Music Festival and chamber music won out.” Assistance from the St. Louis Symphony Outreach Program also helped get the project underway. Fast-forward to June 9 through 17, which marks the 17th season of the highly successful Innsbrook Institute Summer Music Festival and Academy. It’s the premier regional summer music enclave, hosting aspiring string students, world-renowned professional musicians and classical music patrons for nine days of musical delights. Now 82, Boyce says: “There’s no musical venue anywhere that surpasses Innsbrook because of its quality. We have an intimate audience capacity of 200 in the concert hall and an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. The Institute is unique in the way the land is used. “There is nothing quite like it around the country. We have a lineup of world-class artists who feel like they’re performing in the wild. The chalets and Aspen Center are all surrounded by beautiful nature.” In addition to nightly concerts, house concerts are held at various private homes and chalets on the grounds. “Each year, we create a mini campus where students practice, get lessons and coaching during the day and go to concerts at night with their patrons,” Halen says. “This ensures the safety and transportation needs of our students.” Halen, 57, coordinates the festival each June and says about a dozen institute students and young adults, who range in age from 14 to 24, have gone on to major professional careers. Halen will bookend the concert, playing his 1753 Giovanni Battista Guadagnini violin at the opening and concluding concerts of the festival. Boyce remains a member of the board of directors that sets policy and raises money (with the help of generous donors) to sponsor the festival. “Ed is still an inspirational figure and prominent supporter of the institute,” Halen says. “No one loves great music more than he does.” A cabin concert will also showcase gifted young fiddler Grant Flick, who will play in front of a restored log cabin on June 10 at 11 a.m. A tea and garden fundraising party on June 13 will feature violin and piano music of Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Dvořák and Mozart. Nightly chamber music concerts will be held, and there will be two opportunities to hear the academy students perform. “The concerts will allow guests a glimpse into the exciting future of classical music as the students delight audiences with their artistry,” Boyce says. June 11 will be “An Evening With

Julien Labro,” who, according to Halen, is “one of the best bandoneon players in the world,” referring to a type of predominantly South American concertina. A concert on June 14 will feature Mark Dover on clarinet, playing music from Germany and Austria. During the concert, Blake Pouliot will play a priceless Guarneri violin from Cremona, Italy, the birthplace of the great violin-maker, on loan from the Canadian government. On June 15, Rohan De Silva, Itzhak Perlman’s pianist, will be featuring work by Brahms. At 10 p.m. on June 16, a post-program music noir concert will play. An Emerging Artist Program is by invitation only for young musicians who are in the early stages of their careers. “We created the program to bridge the gap between study and professional life for musicians who demonstrate exceptional potential for success in the music performance world,” Halen says. Emerging artists take private lessons, rehearse and perform together and alongside professionals in evening festival concerts, coach and mentor academy groups, and receive critical commentary from institute faculty and staff – benefiting from the rich and varied life experiences of established professionals. Mary Ellen and Glenn Strebeck of Des Peres didn’t know the institute existed until they purchased a chalet at the Innsbrook Resort Community. They’re now in their fourth year of hosting students. “The Innsbrook Institute is a hidden gem,” Mary Ellen says. “The concerts are fabulous, the venue is gorgeous and the tickets are so reasonable. The talent of the students and quality of the teachers is second to none.” Though they met as virtual strangers 20 years ago, Boyce and Halen now call themselves lifelong friends. They have achieved their mission and fulfilled their dreams of bringing together the finest music students, artist faculty and performers to create transformative educational experiences and outstanding classical music to the region. In the magical setting of nature, the 17th season of their Innsbrook Institute Summer Music Festival and Academy commences on Fri., June 9, for nine days of musical delights thanks to their dedication, fortitude, perseverance “and a multitude of supporters,” Boyce says. They have proven that Friday the 13th can be a good-luck day. Tickets for most concerts during the festival cost $22.50.

ith 21 years of experience, Allison Schreiber Lee, a seasoned trial attorney and skilled negotiator, focuses on family law and domestic relations. “I have a breadth of experience, from being a sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor to working in heavy litigation and now working in family law,” Lee says. Her representation, which also includes businesses, enables her to provide clients with a diverse understanding of many facets of the law. With a firm offering multiple disciplines, Lee is able to ensure each and every client receives the kind of dedicated attention that client deserves, including a paralegal and legal assistant assigned to each case. Clients are given Lee’s direct line because she understands the importance of having someone available to respond during difficult times. “I am divorced and a single mom myself,” Lee says. “I came from a family whose parents went through a very high-conflict divorce, so I can relate to my clients and the needs of their children in a unique and personal way. I know the varied aspects of divorce that can affect clients and their children. “One of the things I tell people when they come in to meet me is that I am an effective advocate for them, not because I’ve experienced what they have in different ways, but because I tell them what they need to hear and not what they want,” Lee continues. “I give realistic expectations for outcomes and won’t promise the world if I know they aren’t going to get it. Being honest and providing accurate information allows the client’s expectations to remain realistic in a very difficult process. I am a fierce advocate for my clients in a pragmatic way.” A Fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and Super Lawyer in Missouri, Lee has served as lead counsel in 40-plus jury trials and as co-lead counsel in one of the longest jury trials in St. Louis history. She recently spoke on family law at the 37th annual Bench & Bar Conference hosted by The Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, a privilege she has had in the past.

ais, Hais & Goldberger, P.C. attorneys address clients’ individual needs – and they see results. Founding partner Susan Hais estimates she can count on one hand the number of times her firm has lost a case. “You can be tough in court and fight your hardest, but always be kind to clients,” she says. “A lot of firms forget that and think of clients as just a file. We’re on our clients’ team. They can rely on us.” For more than three decades, Hais, Hais & Goldberger, P.C. has delivered quality legal representation and attentive care to St. Louis families. The firm – composed of partners Susan and her husband, Sam Hais, Elliott Goldberger, and Erin Zielinski, as well as associates Dzenana Delic, Bradly Bodeux and Michelle Weldon – prides itself on achieving the best results in the most ethical, the most honest and the fairest of ways for its clients. The firm’s scope of practice runs the family law gamut, including separation, divorce, paternity, domestic violence, property division, custody, child relocation, appeals and motions to modify. Unlike larger firms, with lawyers practicing in numerous legal fields, Hais, Hais & Goldberger, P.C. focuses exclusively on family law, which allows the partners to support clients in and out of the courtroom. “You can’t dabble in this kind of work,” Hais says. “You need to understand its nuances. When an emergency situation arises for a client, we generally know what to do because we’ve encountered similar situations.” From the time a client walks in the firm to when the judge hands down a final ruling, and even beyond, personal attention and specialized representation prove to be standards at this law firm. As Hais says, frequently winning in higher courts is a good way to measure a firm’s accomplishments – but it’s not the only way. Clients often refer friends and family to Hais, Hais & Goldberger, P.C., which has contributed to its long and successful track record in the St. Louis area. The attorneys often hear from former clients, who thank them for their help during a time of need. It’s these people, not files or cases, whom the firm serves.

Dinner ...

umble Pie, which launched late in April in Ladue, offers pizzas made from small-batch organic doughs, as well as salads, desserts and more. It comes from co-owners Jess and Mark Lucas of Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium and fills the space previously occupied by Red L Pizza, which shuttered in November. The approximately 1,000-square-foot space features a walk-up counter where guests can place and pick up orders prepared in a small kitchen and dough room. Seating is available only on a 20-guest street-view patio adorned with the restaurant’s logo and a colorful floral mural by local artist Sho Ko. Mark Lucas serves as head chef behind the savory pies, while Jess Lucas offers keen insights into Humble Pie’s vegan offerings and beyond. She worked with baker Dottie Silverman, for instance, to create a menu of pastries, including small desserts and vegan treats. “With Humble Pie, Mark and I just kind of wanted

to bring both of our tastes and views to pizza,” Jess Lucas says. “We’re trying to keep it straightforward with clean, fresh food. … We want to appeal to families and businesses and have something everyone can relate to.” The debut menu features 19 specialty pizzas with a combined selection of more than 60 toppings including house-made sauces. The shop features antibiotic- and hormone-free meats, such as sausages from G&W Sausage and nitrate-free pepperoni. Guests can choose from a house-made crispy thin crust or a Sicilian-style crust, both baked in the resident deck ovens; the latter crust, though thicker, is crafted to be light, airy and fluffy. A gluten-free crust is also available. “A lot of times, pizza makes you tired, but even our Sicilian won’t make you need a nap,” Jess Lucas says. “You have these simple yet good ingredients in our doughs – organic, unbleached flour, a little yeast and not too much sugar. They’re really straightforward

Another vegetarian-friendly highlight, the BBQ Cauliflower pie, incorporates roasted cauliflower, fresh poblanos, sweet onions, smoked mozzarella and house maple barbecue sauce, which would make a great meal before seeing Madame Butterfly from Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. Additional signature combinations include the Jambalaya Pie and the Lily Pad, the latter with leeks, caramelized onion, portobello mushrooms, sausage, garlic, fresh herbed ricotta sauce and truffle-oil drizzle. Small bites include garlic fingers, breadsticks and meatballs. A kids’ menu and a hefty selection of salads

‌Story: U.S. Navy Lt. Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton is stationed in Nagasaki, Japan, in the early 20th century. He decides to take advantage of a Japanese law that allows Western military men to marry Japanese women, with an “escape clause” under which the marriage is nullified if the husband is absent for 30 days or more. Pinkerton is attracted to a young geisha named CioCio-San, who herself is intrigued with the handsome American. The American consul, Sharpless, warns Pinkerton that the geisha may take this marriage seriously. Despite the strong objections of her family, Cio-Cio-San, also known as Madame Butterfly, weds Pinkerton. This action leads her uncle, a priest known as the Bonze, to denounce her for rejecting her heritage, accusing her of converting to Christianity. Cut off from her family, Cio-Cio-San lives with her faithful servant, Suzuki, in the country home purchased by Pinkerton, along with her son, Sorrow, progeny of her brief union with the American. Three years go by with no word from her husband, who abandoned her shortly after their marriage and left Japan. Meanwhile, she repeatedly turns down offers extended by the oft-married Prince Yamadori through the salacious marriage broker Goro. One day, Sharpless arrives with terrible news: Pinkerton is returning to Japan, but with his American wife, Kate. The consul attempts to convince Cio-CioSan to allow Pinkerton and Kate to take Sorrow back to America for a “brighter” future. The disillusioned Cio-Cio-San contemplates the best solution to the egregious situation confronting both her and her son. Highlights: Giacomo Puccini’s enduring tragedy about the ill-fated life of a Japanese geisha opens the 42nd season for Opera Theatre of Saint Louis with a fresh perspective on the classic opera, by director Robin Guarino, and a bravura performance in the title role by Rena Harms in her debut with this troupe. Other Info: This production of Madame Butterfly marks its sixth presentation by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, from the first performance at The Muny in 1978 to the current version, which features an English translation by the troupe’s long-time national public relations consultant, Margaret (Maggie) Stearns, and the troupe’s late artistic director, Colin Graham. Puccini collaborated with librettists Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica on Madame Butterfly, which premiered in Milan in 1904 and in its final version in Paris in 1906. It’s based on a play by David Belasco and an earlier story by John Luther Long. In her director’s notes in the luxurious 2017 program, Guarino says she looked at three women in the story, namely Cio-CioSan, Suzuki and Kate, to present the quaint story from a feminist viewpoint. Kate’s presence in the story is nonexistent until nearly the end and is tertiary to that

of the title character and her servant. While Guarino’s production is told from a different perspective than that in most traditional presentations, it’s also somewhat static and moves at a slow pace, especially in the final scene, which stretches far too long. Still, this version features some excellent singing and performances, led by soprano Harms. She’s performed in Madame Butterfly previously with the English National Opera. Mezzo-soprano Renée Rapier provides excellent support as the dutiful and understanding Suzuki, as does baritone Christopher Magiera as the decent Sharpless. Tenor Michael Brandenburg makes a fine debut with this troupe as Pinkerton, and soprano Anush Avetisyan sparkles as Kate Pinkerton, witness to the human tragedy brought about by her own husband. Conductor Michael Christie leads members of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in an attentive, dutiful rendering of Puccini’s lush score, which has kept Madame Butterfly one of the world’s most popular operas for 113 years.

NINA SCHATZKAMER MILLER By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Image courtesy of Nina Schatzkamer Miller

n its analog resplendence, Nina Schatzkamer Miller’s Lots of Strings Attached looks somehow digital. At a glance, it “reads” like a culled, alternative special effect from The Matrix, the Wachowski siblings’ 1999 cyberpunk blockbuster, or some similar cinematic romp, with column after column of cascading colors replacing codemonkey binaries. Miller – an Olivette native who returned home in recent years following various peregrinations – crafts bright-colored kiln-fired glass art in her home studio, most of it functional (platters, bowls and plates), some wearable (jewelry and hair accessories) and some just whimsically decorative. Without giving further detail, she also mentions “a new special interest in Judaica.” Miller’s interests, she does admit, didn’t always run so true, early focusing on “playing all of the stringed [musical] instruments and taking art classes in which [I] only wanted to make horses in every art form.” After subsequently studying Romance languages and graduating from Wash U, she toiled in the computerized ticketing industry before fleeing corporate America to rear three sons. Miller later returned to art both as an avocation and as a means of volunteering at her sons’ schools, for which she sewed costumes and made classroom auction

projects, often quilts. That led her to study glass fusing at Glasshopper Studio, Art Glass Array and Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design. As a quilter, Miller recalls, she’d “been drawn to the puzzle of putting different colors and fabrics together, and this translated well to glass,” noting that her “quilt patterns” nowadays comprise that material. Select pieces of Miller’s sell online through Amazon Handmade/Handmade at Amazon, at shows, on commission and (beginning in April) in Richmond Heights’ Knox Gallery of Fine Art. “Lots of Strings Attached is the first piece I made in what I plan as a series of similarly made pieces,” Miller relates of the featured work. “I made it in November 2016. It’s 8 inches by 12 inches, and it’s made of many tiny pieces of spaghetti-thin strands of glass that are known as ‘stringers.’ “The stringers begin as 17-inch-long 1-millimeterthick strands that are cut and kiln-fired to a base sheet of glass. Then that piece of glass is cut into thin strips and rearranged in a pattern that gives the illusion of depth and movement, and fired onto another sheet of glass. Finally, the piece is fired on a ceramic mold, and it takes the shape of that mold.” She likens the technique, in its illusion of movement, to that used in the creation of bargello quilts (that is,

quilts crafted with long, straight needlepoint stitching to produce zigzags, flames and similar designs). “As I was a quilter before I became a glass artist, such technique speaks to me,” says Miller. “I’m always searching for ways to bring my love of fabric into glass, as there are some similarities in the way that colors are ‘auditioned’ against each other when choosing what glass to use and the way the curves of the final piece feel similar to fabric moving in the breeze. “The initial design is so different from the way the final piece looks that it’s a technique that is impossible to completely plan and impossible to duplicate. Since I create one-of-a-kind art and I’ve always loved the surprise of opening the kiln, this sort of technique appeals to me. “Technically, the cutting of the thin strips is a big challenge, and then, since I’m a big believer in using up every bit of glass, there’s a challenge in trying to use the leftover cuttings and inevitable broken pieces.”

Rock ’n’ Roll

Never Forgets! By Bryan A. Hollerbach

A forthcoming exhibition of photos visuAlly – And vivAciously – echoes thAt sentiment from detroit über-rocker bob seger.

June 2, 2017 | LadueNews.com

endrix looks enraptured. On the broadside for “The Music Seen: Beyond the Stage,” a photographic exhibition opening in just a week, Hendrix – Jimi, of course, perhaps the quintessential rock ’n’ roll guitarist of the ’60s – leans slightly backward, shredding his Stratocaster, his eyes clamped closed in concentration, his mouth, bracketed by his trademark Fu Manchu, describing a rhapsodic O. Images like that should electrify the exhibition in question, which selfdescribed “photography addict” Jeff Appel will curate and which will run at the Bullivant Gallery from June 9 to July 14. A bipartite reception will launch “The Music Seen” from 6 to 9 p.m. on its first day and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on its second, after which photo devotees can view the exhibition by appointment “as long as there’s somebody at the gallery,” Appel says. The exhibition will comprise roughly 25 photos, Appel notes, most of them measuring 11 by 14 inches and appearing in black and white. (“When you see them,” he teases about the inclusion of a pair of color photos, “you’ll see why [those two were chosen].”) “This show was an idea that I had almost a year ago,” Appel continues kurt cobain, photo by charles peterson regarding “The Music Seen,” a fiendish pun on the phrase music scene. “I’ve loved music for as long as I’ve loved photography. I approached [owner] Robert Bullivant last October and asked if this sounded like a good concept for our next collaboration – we’ve had two fine-art photography shows together in the past at his gallery.” Bullivant, who did indeed like the idea, calls the exhibition “a unique opportunity to show some of the best-known musical artists in both their onstage as well as offstage moments, as captured in a documentative style by some very talented photographers – a combination of performance art and visual art, if you will, but also considering the human side, meaning sure, these were famous musicians, but they’re people, too.” With “The Music Seen,” Appel says he’s seeking “a vibe of the love of music versus a gallery stuffiness for this. I want to encourage guests to wear a favorite concert shirt to the opening. We’ll not only have great photographs but also a limited number of signed books by some of the artists.” The execution of the exhibition, Appel relates, sometimes took a circuitous course. “I’d already tracked down some of the most amazing photographers of the musical genres that I love,” he says, “and then it was a matter of getting them to commit to the show. In the six years or so that I’ve been a photography dealer, I’m very proud of the network that I’ve built, so reaching out to one photographer that I work with, like Richard Sandler in New York, got me to David Godlis in New York, and after a few conversations, he was as excited to show his punk rock photographs in this show as I am to have him involved. All have been great to work with in my effort to get great images … “This show has been my biggest undertaking yet, usually working with three photographers per exhibition and this time upping that number to seven, but to do this theme justice, it’s what I had to do. Photographs have been shipping in from New York, Washington, New Mexico, Tennessee and Texas.” The gallerist echoes Appel’s enthusiasm. “I think there are many people out there, like myself, who appreciate a wide variety of artistic talents, and when you combine two different aspects of artistry to create a third – the exhibit – that can be something special, too,” says Bullivant.

“The exhibit is also an important timeline of pop and rock music trends, how it evolved, and features the talented musicians who made that happen.” Bullivant’s use of the term timeline prefigures Appel’s expanded description of the exhibition. “‘The Music Seen: Beyond the Stage’ is being hung in the order of the time period,” Appel says. “I can’t say it’s the ‘history of rock’ since some great musicians aren’t in the exhibition, but I’m proud of how much history we’re putting on the walls of Bullivant Gallery. “We start with the glowing color of the Southern juke joints, where I feel it all began, by the legendary Michael Eastman, who I am proud to have gotten to know and respect greatly. The music begins in Memphis with blues, rock and soul by the late Dr. Ernest Withers – I’m proud to be working with his daughter on this project. “From there, we go to the Woodstock/San Francisco ’60s by the first Rolling Stone photographer, Baron Wolman. Then we head to the late ’70s in New York, where we go to [infamous New York nightclub] CBGB with the amazing David Godlis. He spent his nights documenting the birth of punk rock. “Next we go to Seattle with the Sub Pop Records label’s photographer, Charles Peterson, who documented the grunge movement. We end with a couple images of contemporary icons by a local photographer, Dave Rocco, as well as one by the actor Jason Lee, who I’ve gotten to know well as a talented photographer.” Between them, Appel and Bullivant praise support for the reception in specific and the exhibition in general from local radio oasis KDHX and its folk music school for promotion and performance, the Culinary Institute of St. Louis at Hickey College for light appetizers and Urban Chestnut Brewing Co. for beer. Attendees at the reception, Appel adds, can purchase chances to win various photos, with proceeds going to Memphis’ Ernest C. Withers Sr. Historical Foundation, named after the famed African-American photographer. Similarly, a photo by Eastman will sell at silent auction to benefit KDHX, with a second silent auction offering – a 1969 Rolling Stone portrait by Wolman of St. Louis’ own Chuck Berry – benefiting the Withers foundation. Ultimately, as a prelude to the exhibition, one can’t help returning to the broadside mentioned earlier, whose puissant images (six in all) pose more questions than they answer – tantalizingly so. Is Hendrix crunching chords on “Purple Haze,” for instance? “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” Jack White, photo by dave rocco perhaps? What? Does the (very!) young proto-punk queen Patti Smith, her left hand splayed contemplatively on her jaw, apprehend how simultaneously fawnlike yet ferocious she looks? And in a third image portending the exhibition’s content, poor, doomed Cobain of grunge icons Nirvana – as he leans beatifically into what looks like a classic Telefunken microphone, has he any inkling at all how dreadfully little time remains before his every thought turns unthinkable?
