As a boy, to what extent did you yearn for a treehouse (see p. 31)?

TIMOTHY BRASHARES Climbing trees or building a treehouse, as imaginative as they look, is something I’ve never had a desire to do.

I enjoy having my two feet planted on solid earth as opposed to a wobbly tree.

MARK BRETZ I must say – best Ed Grimley impression – that I yearned not at all for a treehouse when I was a kid, being perfectly content on the ground.

MATT SORRELL When I was a kid, I read this great book – I think it was called We Decided to Live in a Tree [We Were Tired of Living in a House by Liesel Moak Skorpen]. It spurred many a daydream for me about constructing my own treehouse.

MATT SORRELL PHOTO BY SARAH CONARD‌

letter

from the

Editor ‌For many years, my family took a weeklong camping trip to Norfork, Arkansas. I fondly recall sleeping on the hard earth in our little tent, hot from the summer heat, yet excited for an evening in front of the beautiful popping fire. These days, though, there are so many alternatives to the traditional tent, elevating camping to something a little more luxurious and glamourous – also known as glamping.

With glamping, there is no tent to pitch, only luxury in the great outdoors. In this week’s Abode section on p. 31, LN contributing writer Brittany Nay shares the story behind The Cottage in Hermann, Missouri, where treehouses have transformed from an imaginative kid’s hideout to a quaint weekend getaway in the country.

Also be sure to check out LN contributor Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande’s piece on p. 94 in The Daily section. Dr. Akande not only delves into the story of Operation Iraqi Freedom, but also shares how a simple act of selflessness can really make a difference in someone’s life. We hope this story encourages you toward a selfless act, as well.

All the best,

n a world that can seem limitless, if you are born with a developmental disability, life can seem limited. At Sunnyhill, Inc., that is anything but true. The organization strives to help people with developmental disabilities and their families live a life of independence and success. A disability won’t hold you back at Sunnyhill, Inc., where anything truly feels possible.

The nonprofit organization started with a group of parents who wished far more for their children diagnosed with developmental disabilities. In 1978, 18 families banded together to create a place where their children could grow to adulthood and thrive.

In the years since, Sunnyhill has evolved into a place that provides residential services for close to 400 individuals and now offers behavior analysis services for a number of families – but it hasn’t stopped there.

Sunnyhill University and the “I Can Do It” program provide valuable educational Ryan readies the zip line cable to hook up Warren experiences, while the 65-acre camp in for a trip above the trees and across the lake at Dittmer, Missouri, opens a whole new Sunnyhill Adverntures camp world of recreation for everyone. Sunnyhill Adventures camp primarily focuses on making activities accessible to people, regardless of ability. From a swimming pool and waterslide to a climbing wall, archery and more, the camp entertains to the fullest. Situated by a lake, campers often delight in fishing and paddleboating.

Families feel confident their loved ones are receiving the attention and care they deserve. “The camp has made a difference by providing opportunities for children and adults with developmental disabilities to attend with their siblings – and for those in wheelchairs to take part in high-adventure, challenging activities,” Vicky James, president and CEO of Sunnyhill, Inc., says. “We can adapt any activity to all abilities.”

Wheelchair-bound or not, zip lining across the lake isn’t an issue, and neither is

Sunnyhill’s assistant activities director, Ryan, celebrates with a camper, Marjorie, after a thrilling climb on Alpine Tower.

scaling the Alpine Tower. The eight-week program, open to adults with developmental disabilities, also includes three weeks for children to join in the fun.

The success of Sunnyhill’s mission is clearest when talking to members of its programs. Warren joined Sunnyhill in 2000 and, at age 60, attends camp, social events and outings. Marjorie, a participant since 1998, takes part in residential services, choir, camp and trips. Both are proud of what they are accomplishing through Sunnyhill.

Discover what has everyone raving by visiting Sunnyhill Adventures for Family Fun Day on Saturday, Aug. 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Zip lining across the lake and climbing the Alpine Tower are just a couple of the temptations in store. From a parents’ dream for their child’s future to an organization that empowers people to seek success, Sunnyhill continues to make the impossible possible for individuals with developmental disabilities.

entral Institute for the Deaf held its annual fundraising gala at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. This year the world-renowned school introduced a new event, CID OUT LOUD! This event included a unique children’s performance and what it took for those children to get there. CID OUT LOUD! featured cocktails, dinner, and live and silent auctions. Proceeds went to scholarship support for children preparing to listen, talk, read and succeed alongside their peers with typical hearing in general-education classrooms – from kindergarten to elementary school and beyond. Institute graduates have attended more than 150 colleges, including Washington University in St. Louis, Harvard and Yale. Jane-Ellis Griggs co-chaired the event.

by Mathews-Dickey Boys’ & Girls’ Club. The students came from many area high schools and got a chance to interact and ask questions with such professional women at Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark. The featured speaker was Shark Tank alum and SLU student Lachlan Johnson. Guests also heard from several other Mathews-Dickey alumnae who have gone on to succeed in business. The various college scholarships will help local young women to realize their college dreams, enriched by the advice and connections of local businesswomen.

o kick off its 41st anniversary season, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis held its 2016 Spring Fête gala on the grounds of Hunter Farms, west of Bellerive Country Club. The event was underwritten and co-chaired by David and Thelma Steward. The French theme was in full display as a small-scale version of the Eiffel Tower greeted guests before they enjoyed cocktails to the sounds of French songs. Moving from the sidewalk café under the tents into the pavilion to the sounds of the Denise Thimes Trio, guests took their seats and enjoyed operatic musical selections performed by Opera Theatre artists. After dinner came a special tribute to renowned opera star and St. Louis native Grace Bumbry before more music and dancing into the night.

he Thompson Foundation for Autism held its 10th annual It’s in the Cards Gala & Auction at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. Proceeds benefit the University of Missouri’s Thompson Center for Autism & Neurodevelopmental Disorders. St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter and his wife, Mackenzie, served as honorary co-chairs. Debbie Monterrey emceed, and Fletcher Lane served as auctioneer. Keynote speakers included Governor Jay Nixon, who announced a $5,000,000 budget item for expansion of the center and shared a story about the importance to him of autism care. Also, Dr. Stephen Kanne, the center’s executive director, spoke about substantial progress at the center and introduced three families who received care and training there. The evening began with a cocktail reception, attended by Cardinals players Trevor Rosenthal, Brayan Pena, Matt Bowman, Jeremy Hazelbaker, Randal Grickuk and Aledmys Diaz; G.M. John Mozeliak; and coaches Chris Maloney and David Bell. Dinner and a program followed, and guests had the chance to support the center through a variety of auction and raffle items. A national leader in autism care, the center provides extensive research, expert clinical care and education for caregivers, educators, health professionals and families across Missouri and the U.S.

When I meet a mom, a dad or a grandparent of a child that is on the autism spectrum, and they have been to our center, and they have had the opportunity to see doctors and clinicians and see real results with their kids and also to understand more of the problems they face, it is the most heartening and gratifying thing in the world to me. It has been wonderful, and I am blessed because of it.

It is important that underprivileged children get with nature and appreciate that there is more to life than just concrete and the inner city. Located in Lesterville, Missouri, children have the opportunity to learn and grow and do things together, and they are given the confidence to be better people.

ince 1986, Saint Louis Crisis Nursery has been providing around-the-clock intervention, respite care and support for families with children up to 12 years old. A well-known and respected St. Louis organization, Crisis Nursery is credited with preventing the abuse or neglect of 99 percent of children, while their families are benefiting from the organization’s programs.

In August, Crisis Nursery supporters will have the chance to dine in fine style at the 26th annual Celebrity Waiters’ Night. The evening, taking place from 4 to 9 p.m. on Aug. 25 at West County Center, will include live entertainment, a happy hour, an afterparty, raffles and more. The raffle will include St. Louis Cardinals tickets, Kate Spade tote bag and more.

The night’s specials include dinner at three West County Center restaurants: BRAVO! Cucina Italiana, J. Gilbert’s Wood-Fired Steaks & Seafood and McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks. In addition to the delectable eats, more than 100 national and local celebrities will engage supporters for tip donations to benefit Crisis Nursery’s child-abuse-prevention programs. Last year, diners contributed $120,000 in tip donations to celebrity waitresses and waiters.

St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger and St. Louis Mayor Slay, the event’s honorary co-chairs encourage everyone to take part in the evening’s events and mission.

“It means the world to the children and families who will benefit from intervention and support services

the Crisis Nursery provides,” Stenger says. “I thank each and every person who works to make this event a huge success.”

Crisis Nursery CEO DiAnne Mueller notes that the nursery is celebrating 30 years of helping little ones. When the Crisis Nursery was founded in 1986, the staff of 12 could care for only seven children at one time. Now, in 2016, the staff of more than 100 can care for 47 children at one time, and they’re admitting more than 7,500 children a year.

“As we celebrate 30 years of saving babies’ lives, we extend our sincere gratitude to the community for their love and support of our children,” Mueller says. “We look forward to another fabulous Celebrity Waiters’ event and hope that all our friends and supporters will join us.”

St. Louis radio host John Carney, one of the celebrity waiters and the founder of Carney’s Kids Foundation, says Crisis Nursery is important to the foundation because it fits the foundation’s mission of helping kids, plus, “the passion of the staff is just so infectious.”

Celebrity waiter Chip Walker of Wells Fargo says the event is an opportunity to raise awareness of the mission of the Crisis Nursery and emphasize the importance of everyone “pitching in” to help.

“It’s up to all of us to keep these kids safe,” he says.

“It’s our responsibility.”

A CALMING, SERENE SPACE

By Robyn Dexter

W

hen Marci Marsh of Frill Home came on this project, her clients had already redone their kitchen and started redecorating their bedroom in their second home. The space Marsh was tasked with, the living room, was a “clean slate” for her.

The first thing she did was design the cement mantel for the fireplace and the benches on either side. This was where she encountered her only challenge of the project: getting the cement into the building, which is very old and has a finicky elevator. She and her team ended up bringing the cement into the building in pieces, as it was easier.

“When I came into that room initially, it was much darker,” Marsh says. “We lightened the paint and went with a light-colored sofa and chairs.”

This Central West End condo is the clients’ second home.

Their main home is more traditional, so they wanted a cleaner and more contemporary feel in this condo. Marsh wanted to use serene colors like soft grays, creams and silvers to brighten the space.

“We tried to keep the design simple,” Marsh says. “The space is very calm and soothing, and they feel that way when they walk in.”

The CoTTage’s Treehouses bring guesTs aT one wiTh naTure in hermann, missouri.

I

magine sleeping under the stars and waking in the treetops amid Missouri’s rolling countryside. That dream can become reality at The Cottage in Hermann. This spring, the Hermann event venue unveiled unique new lodging in the form of two towering 25-plusfoot treehouses with sweeping views of the Missouri River Valley and luxurious modern accommodations.

A half-mile off Highway 19 in the heart of Missouri wine country, Kay Pettijohn purchased The Cottage last summer after exploring the 5-acre property’s stunning natural surroundings. Kay; her son, Lee; and daughter-inlaw, Keely, imagined a new life for the property that included hosting events and lodging. “The idea of cabins up on the rock ridge was kicked around, but Lee had his heart set on treehouses,” Kay says. The Pettijohns all caught onto that vision, and the family bed-and-breakfast business was born.

The Cottage’s astounding treehouses – named Sunrise and Sunset, descriptive of their views and positions on the property – were built on stands about 12 feet above the ground. “Young and old alike catch the ‘treehouse fever’ when they first see them in person,” Kay says. “We even heard of a marriage proposal occurring in one of our treehouses to add to the lovely story of The Cottage!”

Rustic on the exterior and contemporary on the interior, the cedar treehouses are equipped with the comforts of home – tiny-house-style. “We felt the rustic cedar exteriors of the treehouses would appeal to the guys, and the clean, crisp, modern accommodations would be welcoming to the gals,” Kay says. Each treehouse has Wi-Fi to keep guests connected, a chaise for relaxing on the main floor and a wooden ladder leading to the upper loft space featuring a queen bed for slumbering. For added convenience, a Keurig coffee brewer adorns the breakfast table, alongside a microwave and refrigerator.

And behind the modern barn door is a contemporary bathroom, complete with a sleek shower, sink and toilet. The treehouses also are equipped with a heating-and-cooling unit to keep guests cozy on hot summer days and chilly fall nights alike, as Sunrise and Sunset are available to rent year-round.

The treehouse exteriors were planned and constructed by local structural engineer Cord Moody, owner and lead builder at St. Louis Treehouse, which builds treehouses and indoor and outdoor playsets customizable with zip lines, decks, rock-climbing walls and more. Professionals in Hermann completed the plumbing and wiring, and the Pettijohns lovingly added the interior décor to make guests feel at home.

During a stay at The Cottage, visitors can enjoy the sights and sounds of Hermann’s intimate German-inspired village, wineries and festivals, then retreat to their private woodland home for the night. And each morning, guests are invited to take a short stroll down the rocky path to a gourmet breakfast served by the Pettijohn family at the The Cottage’s elegant main building, which also hosts weddings and other events. Also, just outside, visitors can discover more spectacular views from the majestic patio, situated amid boulders, flowers and rock walls.

An additional lodging option on the property is the Cabin in the Woods.

The quaint cabin features a queen bed on the main level and two twin beds in its loft, as well as the same appliances and plumbing offered in the treehouses, and a handicapped-accessible ramp.

The treehouses, which each sleep two guests, with a $50 charge per additional guest, range from $229 per one-night stay to $389 per two-night stay and $577 per three-night stay, and reservations can be booked online. The Cabin in the Woods, which can be rented for groups of two to four with a $50 charge per additional guest, ranges from $189 per one-night stay to $319 per two-night stay. A hot breakfast at 9 a.m. daily also is included.

As the Pettijohns look to the future of The Cottage, the sky’s the limit.

“You can’t beat the unique experience of waking in the trees serenaded by chattering birds,” Kay says. “More treehouses are always a possibility on the property… Watch for them.”

agent profile

Lisa Martel of Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty

By Amanda Dahl

‌L

isa Martel may have been an agent for only less than two years, but the impact she has made on the industry has been tremendous. Real estate has always been a strong influence in her life, so it’s no surprise she’s found success helping people to buy or sell their homes as an agent at Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty. With a degree in marketing and a diverse background in the business, Martel easily scooped up Rookie of the Year based on her first-year sales volume.

“I always had a love for real estate and helping people,” Martel says. “After working for a developer for years, I decided to branch off and focus solely on assisting clients with the sale and purchase of their homes. It was a great decision, and I am enjoying every minute of it!”

From finding a dream home for a new client to helping clients-turned-friends downsize during retirement, Martel has found fulfilment at every step.

“I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and making friends in the process. It’s rewarding to see my clients happy!” she says. “The most challenging thing about my industry is scheduling time to make both my clients and family happy. I believe I have found a happy medium.”

That drive to succeed – paired with recognizing what’s important in life and especially what’s important to her clients – has helped Martel make a big impression in the industry. “My business motto is always to be completely honest, dedicated and available to my clients,” Martel says. “Purchasing and selling a home is a stressful time. I try to make it the least taxing on my clients and the most fun [for them] as possible.”

Martel’s achievements can easily be attributed to her core values. “The character traits I value most in my profession – or any profession – are honesty, sincerity

is the medical director for The Lifestyle Center and Hair Restoration. He is a national speaker and a pioneer for the ďŹ eld of minimallyinvasive aesthetic procedures and is an active member in the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons and the American Society for Hair Restoration Surgery.

Dr. Moore has been performing procedures in the St. Louis area for 14 years and is the number one injector of Dysport in Missouri and Southern Illinois! He has a strong interest in the role of ďŹ tness and nutrition as it relates to overall health and uses his experience and passion for making people look and feel their best to produce the best results for the St. Louis community.

Dr. Moore and his team at The Lifestyle Center recently became the Miss USA prep team for Miss Oklahoma, Taylor Gorton. Taylor chose The Lifestyle Center because she truly believes they are the best of the best and work for any age and skin type.

"The great thing about Dr. Moore is he was so helpful in identifying procedures, non-invasive procedures, that were able to target those areas and give me the result that I wanted. They have made me feel incredibly beautiful and the most natural kind of beautiful that I could possibly imagine," said Taylor Gorton, Miss Oklahoma USA.

Unlike other facilities, each injection client is seen by Dr. Moore for a free consultation followed by their injection procedure. Botox and Dysport are affordably priced at 10.50/3.50 per unit.

Dry Cleaning

MARQUARD’S

St. Louis’ Most-trusted Dry Cleaner for Generations

I

n eight decades of service to the St. Louis community, Marquard’s Cleaners has preserved 100-year-old wedding dresses, restored World War II uniforms and cleaned the most delicate of gowns.

John Marquard started the business in 1931 and passed it on to the Rimell family with a focus on attention to detail and quality. The fourth generation, family-owned business has been recognized as the finest dry cleaner in St. Louis. By treating every garment as if it were their own, Marquard’s staff has set itself apart from the rest.

That friendly staff knows the customers, listens to their specific requests and addresses concerns about their fine garments. Customers keep coming back to Marquard’s because of the quality work staff members do. They offer shirt laundry and dry cleaning, in addition to cleaning draperies, comforters, purses, hats, banners, flags and tapestries. In the past few years, Marquard’s also has been cleaning fine rugs and keeps a rug expert on staff. Marquard’s also can restore and protect wedding gowns, uniforms and other clothing items.

Through the company’s 85 years, demand for excellence expanded Mar-

quard’s services. The demand drives the dry cleaner to find new products and services for its customers. One such product is Fiber ProTector, and Marquard’s has the St. Louis rights to the product.

Fiber ProTector is based on advanced polymer technology that leaves an invisible shield around every fiber. It’s perfect for protecting your valuable soft furnishings and carpets that would usually serve as a breeding ground for germs.

Ken Rimell says his father used to say, “Treat the garment as if it’s yours, but better than if it was yours,” and that passion drives Marquard’s to serve other people, which is echoed in the company’s mission. The Marquard’s mission states that “[Marquard’s Cleaners] customers must know that we care more about personal service and proper care of their fine garments than anyone else.

For the past seven years, Ladue News readers have voted Marquard’s as the “Best Dry Cleaner in St. Louis,” showing that prioritizing excellence in service, knowledge and execution pay off.

Premier Service and Quality

S

ince 2001, Premier Window Tinting has been just what its name entails: premier. Family-owned and -operated, it specializes in all

aspects of window-film installation. Its window services encompass commercial buildings, residential homes and automotive, says vice president Myriam Gitt.

“With new designer films that are coming out, you can do more now with film

than ever before,” she says. “Some of the new white front on the glass at the new Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital was done by us.”

As far as automotive goes, the Premier team doesn’t depend on a computer program for their installations, and everything is custom for your vehicle with no gaps on the edges. They service more than 30 new-car dealerships and automotive shops around St. Louis, along with their retail location in Ballwin.

Gitt says window film is important for several reasons. In the event of an accident, the window film holds the glass together instead of shattering it all over the passengers inside. Some ceramic films can actually cut the heat inside your vehicle by up to 75% This is a precaution parents might want to consider during St. Louis’s hot and humid summer months when carpooling their children to and from summer activities. It’s also an important protector for your skin, The Skin Cancer Foundation and The American Cancer Society both say most of today’s melanoma cases are on a patient’s left side, which is exposed while driving.

“Your windows should look like there’s not a film on them at all,” she says.

“It should just look like it has darker glass.”

When You Love Your Shoes, Only the Best Cobblers Will Do

A

good pair of shoes can change your life. At least, that’s what Cinderella and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz would tell you.

While your life isn’t a fairy tale, you likely own a pair of shoes that

you truly have come to value. From an exquisite set of heels that inspires confidence to a reliable pair of loafers to keep your business image sharp as a knife, Cobblestone Quality Shoe Repair can maintain the quality of these fine shoes. Owner Joe Caufield looks at shoes with a distinctive eye for what serves them—and you—best. He came to the business through extended family ties: his brother-in-law’s family, who ran the business for three generations. Proud to be a member of their heritage, Joe, et al, found the right fit, and moved the business to the Ladue neighborhood more than 20 years ago. Joe’s high-quality craftsmanship ensures you receive expert care, from shoe stretching to scissor-and-knife sharpening, and everything in-between. Bring in any leather goods, including luggage and purses, and have them repaired to their original quality. You even can browse for your next favored pair of shoes from one of six lines available in-store. When you hand your shoes over to Joe, he serves with experience and attention to detail to best meet your needs. “Customers want to feel special—not cookie-cutter,” he says.

RIDENOUR PLASTIC SURGERY

A Quality Experience. Beautiful Results.

T

here are many reasons why Ridenour Plastic Surgery consistently appears at the top of St. Louis’ “Best Cosmetic Surgery Centers” in the Ladue News Platinum List each year. First and foremost is the care and professionalism that Dr. Brock Ridenour and his talented staff provide to each and every patient.

Dr. Ridenour also employs the latest laser and radio frequency technology to

Reviving Automotive Legends

I

t’s Alive Automotive is the culmination of more than 40 years of experience in classic car restoration and repair. Owner Jeff Homsher

started restoring cars when he was 15. Since that time, numerous Healeys, Jags, Triumphs, and other traditional muscle cars have pro-

gressed through his shop – from simple repairs and detailing to complete frame-off rotisserie restorations, the shop provides comprehensive classic-car services.

By offering a unique blend of expertise, quality tools, proven processes and very low overhead, It’s Alive Automotive provides unprecedented value and customer satisfaction. “We leverage high-quality specialty shops, such as upholstery shops, versus making investments that drive up overhead/rates and reduce flexibility and value,” says Homsher. “As an added bonus, we partner with the customer to ensure a strong understanding of their desires, requirements, budget and timeline, and we jointly design a plan tailored specifically for them.” Car repair can be a hassle, and restoration is exponentially more challenging, but the It’s Alive Automotive team strives to make the journey a pleasant one. “We even pick up and deliver with our 22-foot rollback when the cars are inoperable,” Homsher adds.

It’s Alive Automotive is a unique shop designed to fill the niche of full service and high quality at an affordable price. “Value is our goal, and bringing them back to life our passion,” Homsher says. “We can’t wait to hear from you.”

The Secret Weapon for Success! Professional Comunication Training

Y

ou may be smart and accomplished, but the world only knows if

you tell them . . . with humility, positive points, and visual examples that prove what you say is true. That’s why I founded Murray Prep LLC in 2000, to offer individuals the benefits of the communication training I had been teaching corporate clients for almost 20 years. The college application is often the first time an outside decision-maker inquires, “Tell me about yourself.” That’s tough! All you have to make your case is what you write and what you say in interviews. Relevance is key.

So, we message map to determine your content for both written and verbal communication. Then, we develop effective, expository essays, resumes and cover letters, prepare for interviews, practice with current questions, and improve image/body language if warranted. Since each client is unique and in competition, I only work one-on-one assuring confidentiality in our “safe lab”.

First, the high school students came – all kinds, ACT scores 23 – 36, athletes being recruited, merit scholarship seekers – then college students, then moms seeking to re-enter the workforce, and dads facing corporate downsizing, wanting to move up, or simply improve their presentations.

Today, my clientele ranges from age 13 to 70, and I Skype with clients in 9 states plus Europe.

What I enjoy most is that shriek of delight on the phone when a college admission, scholarship or new job is won! And knowing each client has developed skills they will use for a lifetime is Wonderful!

say the same three things: • “It does not hurt to have an implant placed.”

• “It feels like I grew my tooth back, only stronger.”

• “I wish I had done this sooner.”

Implants cannot get cavities, and therefore, have the potential to last a lifetime. Implants prove to be the absolute best tooth replacement solution, whether you are missing one or more teeth. Experience is essential to achieving the successful outcome of implant placement and restoration. If you elect to have dental implants, be sure to work with a dental team that has completed lots of them. This will result in a much more successful experience and result for you.

WOODS BASEMENT SYSTEMS

Take Your Basement to New Levels

W

ith over 56,000 projects completed over the past 30 years, the Woods family is helping other families improve the value of their homes. Celebrating its 30th anniversary in August of 2016, Woods Basement Systems has the expertise and the exclusive products to solve wet-basement, moldy-crawl space and foundation problems. Dave Thompson, Woods’ marketing director, says most basements and crawl spaces across the region were built with products not specifically designed for those environments which cause problems down the road. “The manufacture’s products we install are patented and designed to resolve these problems once and for all,” says Thompson, “and we back it up with the best warranty in our industry.”

The company’s newest services over the past 5 years include basement finishing, with or without installing a Radon mitigation system, and concrete leveling. Woods is a licensed Radon mitigation contractor in Illinois serving both sides of the river from their headquarters in Collinsville, IL. Again, the basement finishing and concrete leveling products are specifically designed

to solve the problems water causes - like mold in a basement or settling concrete slabs due to the lack of moisture in the ground. Sunken walkways or driveways are unsightly and can be dangerous trip hazards.

“Additionally, an egress basement window installed in a basement bedroom after the home has been built requires careful installation and correct waterproofing,” says Thompson. He also stated that cutting a four foot hole in the foundation wall needs specific steps to ensure the finished results match the photo at the top right of this page as well as the current building codes.

“Over the years, Woods’ dedication to customer satisfaction and quality work has earned us five Better Business Bureau’s Torch Awards for marketplace ethics. In 2014 and 2015, Woods earned the Best In Value award back to back from the Small Business Monthly Best In Business awards,” says Thompson. While providing home improvement design or estimates at no cost to the customer, restoring and improving a home’s value as well as the comfort and confidence in home ownership is what Woods loves to do!

Ken Miesner’s Flowers

The Tradition Continues

W

ith over four decades of serving the St.Louis community, Ken Miesner’s Flower Shoppe has a reputation for providing unmatched quality and service. “We have a real connection to the past, honoring the traditions and styles our customers have come to expect.” owner David Bovier says. “From year to year, we continue to deliver the best, they expect nothing less.”

The shop first opened in the West End. A few years later Ken Miesner’s moved to the then fledgling Plaza Frontenac, where it was a landmark for customers looking for the finest. Whether it was for antiques or floral arrangements, customers knew Ken Miesner’s was the place to find both, and so much more. In 2014 the shop moved again, this time to Ladue. The location of the store has changed, but everything the shop is famous for is still the same. “it’s our quality, consistency, and attention to detail that sets us apart.” Bovier says.

Although Ken Miesner’s Flower Shoppe is firmly rooted in tradition, clients are invited to request any style design imaginable. The extremely talented team of designers is trained in a variety of disciplines. From traditional to cutting edge, anything is available. “The design team has been together for

decades,” Bovier says. ‘With that kind of history, working as a team runs like clockwork We all anticipate what needs to be done and make everything come together perfectly.”

This kind of experience and teamwork enables the designers to tackle the most difficult of situation: timing. “This is often our biggest challenge. From processing flowers to have them be at the peak of their perfection at exactly the right moment, to ensuring everything is ready to go for events, it takes a lot of communication and coordination to pull it together.” Bovier explains.

The shop offers excellent party consultation services for a variety of occasions. Weddings, birthdays, bat and bar mitsvah, to balls and other gala events. The shop carries antiques, permanent botanicals and wreaths.

Antique and vintage items can be found throughout the shop, as can home accent pieces and accessories. Lamps, framed art, and porcelain round out the look. Ken Miesner’s Flower Shoppe is a full service florist, able to deliver fresh flower arrangements worldwide.

“Clients can be assured that the look and traditions of Ken Miesner’s Flower Shoppe will be continued for many years to come. Ken Miesner’s style and quality is a tradition I plan on keeping very much alive.”

The firm—comprised of partners Susan Hais, her husband, Sam, and Elliot Goldberger, as well as associates Dzenana Delic, Erin Zielinski, Bradley Bodeux and Michelle Weldo—prides itself on receiving the best results for clients in the most ethical, honest and fairest way.

“You can be tough in court and fight your hardest, but always be kind to clients,” says founding partner Susan Hais. “A lot of law firms forget that, and think as if their clients are just a file. I’ve seen lawyers yell at their clients.

Instead of adding to the problem, we try to support and guide them, and solve it with them. We’re on their team, and they can rely on us.”

Hais, Hais and Goldberger attorneys address every clients’ individual needs, and see the results of their hard work. Hais estimates she can count on one

The firm’s attorneys regularly hear from former clients, thanking the firm for

devoted knowledge of family law to each case. From the moment they walk in and are greeted by the kind receptionist, to when the judge hands down a final ruling and beyond, clients receive specialized representation and individualized attention. Unlike larger firms, which have lawyers practicing in a variety of legal fields, Hais, Hais and Goldberger’s exclusive focus on family law allows

helping them during their time of need. It’s these people—not files or cases— whom the firm serves.

The familyowned company began in 1975, and with a curated selection of fine furnishings, it’s no wonder the lighting store has expanded successfully across America. “There are three fundamentals to our company: to have an extraordinary selection of product; exceptional service, from selection to delivery; and finally, to develop a long-term relationship with our clientele by providing fair and aggressive pricing,” says Brian Wilson, VP of Wilson Lighting.

Fundamental to its success, the lighting store proves to be much more beyond its name. “Our core product offering is lighting, which encompasses chandeliers, bath lights, exterior lights, ceiling fans and more. But another huge part of our product offering is home décor and furnishings, from a framed-art gallery to occasional furniture items. When customers visit our showroom for the first time, they often comment that they had no idea that we offer such a wide range of products,” Wilson shares.

The showroom stuns not only with its vast selection of goods, but also with the availability of each product seen. “Some of the challenges our industry

faces when dealing with manufactures is that items can be back-ordered or arrive damaged. Either way, the customer has to wait to be satisfied,” Wilson explains. Items might be back-ordered and cause delays in shipment or can even arrive damaged,” Wilson explains. “To remedy that, we believe in stocking the product we showcase.”

Their product sourcing team scours the globe for its diverse offerings. “We literally travel the world to find the most unique and incredible selections, from European and domestic markets, as well as the Orient,” Wilson says. “For more than 40 years, we have been servicing homeowners, custom homebuilders and interior designers [with our distinctive selection of product].”

Wilson Lighting’s customer service stays superior thanks to a long-lasting team of experts. “Many of our team members have 10 to 20 years’ experience in lighting and home furnishings,” Wilson relates. “As customers walk through the door, they are greeted by a wonderful selection of items, much of which, they will not see elsewhere.” We love satisfying each customer’s wish list and seeing their excitement upon finding a product that is perfect for their home.”

Real Estate - Senior

Laura Mccarthy reaL estate

Guidance Through Change

L

ife takes you in many directions, from career changes, to children growing up and getting married, to moving across the country or to the next suburb a mile away. For Peggy Liggett of Laura McCarthy Real Estate, life brought her many changes and they were all for the better.

Peggy once held a career in higher education; she served for two decades as an adjunct faculty member at Maryville University, as well as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and an adjunct faculty member at Fontbonne University for eight years. By the end of the academic year in 1993, Peggy’s mother was ill, and her daughter was recently engaged. With a wedding and medical visits on the horizon, she resigned from Fontbonne University and turned her attention to real estate. “I had a real estate license, and for something to do, I began taking floor duty to fill the summer days. I have never looked back!”

Peggy declares.

Now with 23 years of real estate under her belt, and having earned the designations of Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Certified Relocation Specialist, and a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Club, Peggy has made a name for herself in the real estate world. Peggy especially enjoys working with seniors assisting with all phases of selling their home, including arranging for estate sales, contacting contractors to prepare the house for sale and

arranging for cleaning, window washing and staging. She became aware of the need to achieve these designations due to the number of friends, family and past clients ready to downsize. Buying and selling with senior homeowners is handled differently than other categories of homeownership. One needs relationship skills, knowledge on how to counsel rather than sell to the senior homeowner market, and to understand that when a senior is ready to move it is most likely for a lifestyle change not for reasons related to the economy. Peggy’s enthusiasm, love of residential real estate and her possession of a remarkable work ethic have won her success in listing and selling homes in the senior market. And it turns out it is a good market to be a part of. The senior homebuyer market is the largest growing market in the nation.

Adults aged 50 and older represent more than 20% of the U.S. population and will continue to grow with more members of the baby boomer generation becoming empty nesters.

Life comes baring all kinds of change, but that does not mean change has to be stressful, especially if life is leading you toward downsizing or leaving your home of many years. Know you can trust Peggy Liggett and the Laura McCarthy team to guide you to your next landing spot, guaranteeing to make the process stress-free for you and your family.

Real Estate - First Time Homebuyer

First Time’s A Charm

T

his is one of the most expensive commitments. This will be your home, the place you have family and friends over to visit and to remember. Buying the perfect home – the one of your dreams – the one your family will grow in, can be one of the most stressful decisions you can make. That is why Laura McCarthy Real Estate’s aspiration is for you to enjoy the process of finding the house, which will become your home.

Lauren Gillentine of Laura McCarthy Real Estate has been in the real estate business for ten years working in commercial real estate for five years before focusing on residential. “I got my MBA from Saint Louis University with a focus on marketing and once I had the degree, combined with my salesperson license and a background in real estate I felt I had the tools and confidence I needed to transition to residential real estate,” Lauren says. Having that background before coming over to the residential side has been rewarding for Lauren. It turns out that working on the residential side of the market has been the most enjoyable for her, “I love working with first time homebuyers. It is so exciting to give them the keys on closing day and to know I helped facilitate a

major purchase and decision in their lives.”

Laura McCarthy knows that buying a home for the first time can be a daunting process. However for agents such as Lauren Gillentine, the process is much easier and actually enjoyable. Lauren tells her buyers, to give themselves time and to have patience; their home is out there it is just the matter of finding it. “Usually you need to see a good handful of houses to know what qualities you want and don’t want in your home. Try not to become discouraged with the process, low inventory means homes that are priced well are going quickly and often with more than one offer at a time,” Lauren says.

Lauren Gillentine specializes in a large range of market areas, from the central corridor of St. Louis and beyond. She walks with you through the whole process and has the expertise, experience and the drive to assist you in finding the house of your dreams. “It is so exciting the day we finally see ‘the one,’ it really makes all of the work worthwhile!”

Lauren declares. You can trust that Lauren and Laura McCarthy Real Estate will make one of the biggest decisions and commitments of your life, enjoyable from day one.

Relocating Success

W

hen national and international companies decide to relocate employees in and out of St. Louis, they choose Laura McCarthy Real Estate. For proof that Laura McCarthy Real Estate is one of the most respected names in local real estate, just look at its rich, 70-year history of success. Specializing in first time home buyers, midrange buyers or luxury residential real estate throughout St. Louis, the agency represents homes from the Central West End along Highway 64/40 to Chesterfield and the St. Charles corridor. While others struggle to imitate the company’s innovative techniques, Laura McCarthy continues to pioneer marketing strategies and use of technology to buy and sell homes.

Its website alone offers a range of tools to help buyers explore St. Louis neighborhoods and schools, in addition to information about each agent’s qualifications and experience.

Laura McCarthy makes home-buying an enjoyable experience, proven by its high rate of repeat and referral customers. The company’s agents maintain a high level of integrity and customer service. In 2013, over 40% of homes listed by the agency sold within 30 days on the market, many at or above listing price. With such impressive numbers, it is easy to see why Laura McCarthy’s footprint in the local relocation market is so wide.

Opening its relocation division 30 years ago, Laura McCarthy paved the way for the St. Louis relocation business. Since then, it has spearheaded employee relocation to the area for major clients, including Procter & Gamble,

Boeing, Nestle Purina, Centene, Charter Communications, and Monsanto.

Individuals and employers alike receive premium service from Laura McCarthy’s relocation specialists, who ease the transition in and out of the area.

Agents at the company must complete additional training to obtain a relocation professional designation in order to work in its relocation department, guaranteeing that clients receive the best care possible. Laura McCarthy’s relocation department director personally interviews all clients before pairing them with an agent (one of the agency’s approximately 25 relocation specialists) to create the perfect match. The company is a member of Cartus Broker Network, which supports more than 140,000 transferees each year and 50 percent of Fortune 100 companies.

Through this vast networking system, Laura McCarthy is able to find the best properties to suit each employee or individual’s needs. The relocation department also works regularly with all other major relocation management companies both domestic and internationally focused. Agents provide their clients with neighborhood expertise, a thoughtful plan of action and the experience and knowledge needed to make every transaction a positive one. Additionally, the company uses proven pricing and marketing strategies, custom advertising and strong industry connections to provide maximum exposure for both in and out-of-town buyers.

Rural Property

BRET MARTIN OF MEYER & COMPANY REAL ESTATE

Breathe In Happiness & Home

I

f you’re looking to buy rural property, Bret Martin of Meyer & Company Real Estate can make it happen. With more than 15 years in real estate and related fields, Martin knows the ins and outs of rural property, regardless of what the customer is looking to use it for. Whether it’s vacant ground for future development, income-producing farm ground for investment and portfolio diversification, a weekend estate, a winery, a hunt club or a rural residence, Martin is well equipped to list and show rural properties.

Martin knows the importance of analyzing crop data and finance reports, viewing aerial photographs and topographical maps, and taking on-site tours of a property. A clean five-passenger all-terrain utility vehicle makes for easy access to all properties, allowing Martin to show his customers the full extent of the property they’re considering.

He recommends buying rural property for a variety of reasons, including diversifying your financial portfolio, low property taxes and increasing demand, along with even simpler reasons like having a place to get some fresh air.

Martin’s passion for the outdoors took him from West County to rural Lincoln County in 1993. He has owned several successful businesses, including two real estate development and investment companies and a landscape contracting business. He also owns several farm properties in Lincoln and Monroe counties.

With his background in sales, business, farming and property development, and a network of friends and contacts that encompasses developers, business owners, farmers and hunters, Martin is able to give his customers everything they’re looking for. In 2016, Martin already has generated close to $10 million in sales, 50 percent of which weren’t even MLS listings.

“My customers are seeing true value in rural real estate. It is a wealth-diversification tool that they can use and enjoy,” Martin says. “I would genuinely appreciate your business and referrals and, as always, look forward to serving you. Call me today, and let’s buy Missouri farms.”

Cardwell’s, Tony’s and Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant.

And the fun doesn’t end there: A full calendar of events encourages guests to paint the town with evenings spent at the Peabody Opera House and the Fox Theatre, among others, notes Wiesehan. At home, residents can take advantage of exercise programs, bridge groups, book reviews, and even the occasional speaker series, which has featured favorite St. Louisans such as renowned sculptor Harry Weber and frozen custard king, Ted Drewes.

a family, locally owned business and is big on providing quality products at an affordable price. Two Blind Guys provides both commercial and residential window treatments, and Kinsinger says lately the business has been working with motorized shades that can be controlled via an iPhone or iPad. “We don’t contract our work out,” she says. “Our employees take care of everything from sales to installation. We offer a full line of blind and shade repair services.” Because of Two Blind Guys’ emphasis on being a one-stop shop, Kinsinger says 75 percent of the company’s business is returning customers. Two Blind Guys’ staff also works with the community, aiding groups like Habitat for Humanity, the Jennings School District and St. Louis Transitional Hope House.

That’s a great feeling.”

Weight Loss after

before

NutriMost Missouri

Training Your Body to Be Its Best

T

his isn’t your average weight-loss program. There are no hormones or stimulants involved. Absolutely no appetite suppressants. There is nothing artificial or synthetic about it. “NutriMost Missouri is a wellness practice where we focus on taking a functional approach to weight loss,” Dr. Bryan Deloney DC, PScD says. “It’s cleansing, detoxing and, ultimately, balancing.”

NutriMost Missouri guarantees that clients who come in with 20 pounds of weight to lose will be rid of it in 40 days. And upon completion of their individualized program, their bodies will be in proper condition. “There are a lot of environmental toxins we’re exposed to, and the things that normally affect your metabolism are hormone imbalance, inflammation and neurotransmitter dysfunction. We give the body what it needs to function again, to tap into its fat stores and burn them for fuel,” he states.

Deloney shared the story of Bob, who lost 114 pounds in approximately eight months. “He was a diabetic and taking medications for diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol. Now, he’s completely off all of [them],” Deloney shares. “That’s a consistent [result for most clients]. We test each individual

and create a completely customizable program.”

Another client came in because she was informed one of her carotid arteries was 90 percent blocked and the other was 70 percent blocked. Since these arteries deliver blood to your brain, medication was required to lower those numbers immediately. “After doing the program, her left artery completely cleared, and her right one was only moderately blocked and continuing to clear up. She also lost 27 pounds in the process,” Deloney says.

Deloney is completing a master’s degree in human nutrition and functional medicine. “We’re constantly going through the latest studies on how the body heals and what in our environment affects us. I ask myself, what do we actually need to support our body?” Deloney says. The answers to that question continue to validate NutriMost’s effective approach.

“Pam [the client with the carotid blockages] just came in today and thanked me because her life has been transformed since she started the program.

She was taking medication for depression and feeling terrible. Now, she has none of those problems and is hopeful about life,” Deloney says. “Watching people get healthy and feel better is the best part of my job.”

CHELSIE HELLIGE OF FABLE & LORE

By Denise Kruse | Photos by Sarah Conard Handcrafted out of owner/maker/curator Chelsie Hellige’s home studio in Dogtown, Fable & Lore jewelry exudes bold minimalism with pieces Hellige describes as “infinitely wearable jewelry for the modern free spirit.” Unique shapes and details incorporate elements from Hellige’s day-to-day life, from her favorite region – the Southwest – to patterns, shapes and even plants throughout her home.

How did Fable & Lore start?

Around 2010, I started jewelry-making as a hobby.

I was working a corporate job at the time – the classic story about not being creatively fulfilled. I opened up an Etsy shop and had that as a hobby for a few years. [Later] I ended up going into freelancing for advertising, so I started spending more time with the jewelry, and it got to the point where I just thought, “What would happen if I focused on this and stopped messing around trying to get a job in advertising?” Once I started focusing on Fable & Lore as a job and evolving it and growing my skill as a jewelry-maker and, now, a metalsmith, it definitely started taking off.

Where did the name come from?

It was kind of random – I wrote a bunch of stuff in a notepad, brainstormed and came up with it. Over time, I’ve grown into the name, and I feel like now my jewelry goes with the name a lot better. I take a lot of inspiration from magical things or ancient culture, that kind of thing – I think the name is much more fitting now.

It’s interesting that your two main veins of

JUNE 24, 2016 | LadueNews.com

products are jewelry and apothecary. Why those two lines?

It’s an evolving story, really. The apothecary is not my own line – it’s a brand called Fat and the Moon, out of California. I’ve been a user of their products for a while now, and I just love them, I love their products,

I love their whole vibe. I’ve been looking for a way to grow outside of jewelry for a while, and I always get comments from people [who say], “Oh, you’re a good curator,” so I decided this could be a more slow, careful foray into curating goods from other brands alongside my own, that carry a similar vibe or complement what I think Fable & Lore is about. The person who makes [Fat and the Moon] is a traditional herbalist – she knows her stuff, she comes from a family of herbalists. I thought it was a really cool addition, and maybe down the line it could help me grow into maybe more of a lifestyle brand.

Where do you draw design inspiration for your jewelry?

Inspiration comes from everywhere – I pay attention to trends and trend forecasting and pull a lot of [ideas] from what’s currently going on, but that being said, I only make stuff that I like and I want to wear. I have this cactus necklace because I’m a crazy plant lady, and I have all these plants and succulents and cacti in my house. I will take inspiration from places that I love – the Southwest. I have one cuff that has a cutout feature – a really angular, linear feather-looking shape – a motif I was seeing as I was shopping for a vintage Turkish kilim rug in my house. It’s a little bit of everything mixed in with what is currently really hot.

Where can we buy your products?

A lot online – my website is a great place to go. I also sell at Urban Matter, Parsimonia Vintage [for the Modern World] and K. Hall.

HealtH Update with Dr. Jeffery Birkenmeier, DC

Our goal is to help you get relief from your Neuropathy and Pain using advanced treatments for lasting results.

Our purpose is to help people get well and stay that way.

Here are some questions people typically ask about what happens here at the Neuropathy and pain Relief Institute.

There Isn’t Anything That Can Be Done for Neuropathy and Severe Pain, is there?

Consistently people come in and tell Dr. Birkenmeier they have been “everywhere” looking for relief. After a proper evaluation and treatments different than they had elsewhere, they start feeling better… so the “proof is in the pudding” as they say.

Enhance Relief of:

“Severe pain in the left foot brought me to the neuropathy and Pain relief institute. helped to stand and walk without pain. Sleep better.”

Wayne D., Age 73

After 13 years of treating patients with neuropathy and Pain, specific combinations of treatments are found to be highly successful. these include lasers that stimulate healing at a deep level, decompression therapy to give more space for the nerves to flow, and other instruments that stimulate and help support the relief process. Specific procedures and recommendations can only be given after a proper evaluation by Dr. Birkenmeier, but rest assured, all of the details are discussed.

Is the Treatment Successful? yes, treatment is successful for a large majority of people. the majority of people who come in for treatment get significant relief from their ongoing neuropathy, numbness, tingling, and pain… even really bad cases.

How Long Will it Take to Feel Better? many people report feeling better in the first few weeks of treatment. most people report feeling significant improvement over a 5 week period of time. Cases are closely monitored by Dr. Birkenmeier to make sure the person is responding to treatment.

How does someone know if the treatments are right for them?

A thorough evaluation to determine if the person has the problems that can be treated is the only way to know. Bottom line, if Dr. Birkenmeier cannot help a person, he will refer them to the correct provider to get help.

Is there a Guarantee? Is there 100% relief ?

Unfortunately, in healthcare there are no guarantees. realistically, there are too many factors that go into a person’s health. the best thing to do is properly evaluate the person, treat them with time-tested, effective treatments for a period of time while closely monitoring the progress, then re-evaluate to see what their progress is. there are people who do experience 100% relief of their symptoms.

Selflessness

‌D

uring the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, millions of viewers tuned in to watch CNN correspondent Martin Savidge interview four young U.S. Marines live near the foxhole where he’d been embedded with them. He told viewers how well these fighters had taken care of him since the war began. He also described the hardships the Marines had endured and the inspiring ways in which they’d taken care of one another.

Then Savidge announced he had a surprise for them: Before going on the air, he’d obtained permission from their commander to let each of them use his satellite videophone to call the United States.

Who do you think these young men were eager to call? Girlfriends? Wives? Moms? Dads?

Their responses stunned Savidge, an Emmywinning reporter.

One of the Marines, a 19-year-old, wanted to yield his turn on the phone to his platoon sergeant, who had a pregnant wife back home. The couple hadn’t spoken in three months. While the Marine ran to get his sergeant, Savidge asked the other three who they wanted to call.

Again, their responses stunned him. They all wanted to call the parents of Cpl. Brian Buesing, a friend of theirs who’d been killed in battle a few weeks earlier. They wanted to see how the

By Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande

parents of their fallen friend were doing.

Savidge, moved by this unparalleled display of selflessness, broke down on the air.

The actions of these young men are at the heart of the kinds of values we strive to promote in many of our traditional institutions, including our homes, schools, civic organizations and places of worship.

Such values form the cornerstone of the teaching philosophy of many institutions of higher learning, including Westminster College. The concept of putting others first and lifting others constitutes a very American value – and the very essence of being a servant leader. A servant leader makes sacrifices and puts the interests of his followers first.

That explains why George Washington declined attempts to make him king, pointing out that it wasn’t the best route for the young nation. It explains why during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln insisted his son enlist in the military and Lincoln’s wife, a native-born Southerner, volunteered as a nurse who tended Union troops. It explains why on the eve of independence in 1947, Mahatma Gandhi was prepared to have his protégé step aside from becoming prime minister just so India would stay united.

In theory, being a servant leader is easy – but in reality, it’s tough. It entails sacrifice and other-centeredness.

Sometimes the best teachers of this concept of selflessness are young people – like those four Marines who moved a grown man to tears.

Essaying the Admissions Essay

I

n an increased effort to select students who fit well, college admissions essays lately have gained significance. Admissions counselors want to see and feel the challenges you have faced, as your learning experiences give them a glimpse of your potential. So whatever your plans are this summer, take a notebook, because taking note of your summer experiences can prove priceless when writing those all-important essays.

Last summer, one of my clients spent eight weeks as a camp counselor for young girls with autism. As a recent neurology graduate of Duke University, she was applying to medical schools. During a Skype session, the client shared concerns about one of her six campers. The camper was unpredictable at meals and often required two hours of individual, calming care at bedtime. My client persisted, and I found the story of her breakthrough to gain the child’s trust riveting, which made for a remarkable admissions essay.

An equally compelling essay developed from the notes of a high school lifeguard who recounted his thoughts during endless hours of counting heads in a lake, making sure none disappeared. None ever did, but his chair musings on math, sunbathers’ behavior

Institutions of higher learning want to know who you are. They crave visual examples with positive points that are clear, and details are never clearer than the day something happens.

By Janis Murray

and bravery “at the ready” were hilariously creative, revealing powerful observation and wit.

Both clients took summer notes.

Institutions of higher learning want to know who you are. They crave visual examples with positive points that are clear, and details are never clearer than the day something happens. So if you swim across a lake for the first time, drop a tub of dishes as a busboy or even suffer a boring bus ride from Lansing to Leelanau County, Michigan, take a few moments to write down what you were thinking and feeling. The thrill, the pain, the embarrassment and the doubts – everything counts!

Record a couple of notes per night – or just tell your mom on the phone, and get her to write down the details. She’ll love doing so.

Supermodel and St. Louis native Karlie Kloss brings her computer-science savvy and girl power back to her hometown.

G

rowing up in St. Louis, Karlie Kloss, now a world-famous supermodel, was always interested in math and science. These two disciplines also form the foundation for coding, which provides the structure to create computer software, apps and websites. For students nowadays, coding is becoming as essential a skill as reading and writing.

However, as in many programs focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), the ratio of young girls to boys involved in the programs reflects the career fields that come out of these fields of interest: The definitive gap between the two skews heavily, so that many of these STEM-centric occupations are male-dominated.

A 2014 Google study published by The Washington Post revealed that in the middle of the 1980s, 37 percent of computer-science majors were women. As of 2012, the number had dwindled to 18 percent. Word associations from this study showed the difference between perceptions of computer science among women familiar with the field and women unfamiliar with the field. The lists differ starkly: Women familiar with computer science find it interesting to intricately know technology, while women unfamiliar with computer science perceive it to be boring, nerdy or difficult.

The field also largely lacks visible female role models, which is why in recent years, female-led initiatives have worked to get girls interested in coding, including one led by Kloss herself. Two years ago, she attended the Flatiron School in New York, the programming school renowned for its immersive, part-time and online webdevelopment courses. She completed Flatiron’s two-week coding program, learning the Ruby on Rails software language – which powers commonly used websites and apps including Twitter, The New York Times, Groupon and Hulu – and left inspired.

Last year, Kloss launched a full-ride scholarship program for girls ages 13 to 18 to attend the same program she did at the school. The program received 600 video applications from girls around the world, from which 21 girls from 11 states were selected to attend the program. Of these 21 girls, 14 had no prior coding experience, and by the end of two weeks, all 21 left as software engineers. The students learned fundamentals in back-end software engineering, collaborating with their fellow attendees to create their own functioning web apps.

This summer, Kloss is taking her scholarship on the road through Kode With Klossy, a full-scholarship, two-week coding summer camp that will take place in three cities: St. Louis, New York City and Los Angeles. Each camp will give

about 20 girls, ages 13 to 18, the chance to learn to apply Ruby on Rails from Kode With Klossy instructors and then use coding to build real apps. The goal of the program is to bridge the gap between men and women in STEM fields, and empower young girls to pursue careers in coding. For many of the girls, the camp will mark their first coding experiences. The curriculum for the camps is supported by the Flatiron School’s learn.co platform and is based on the program Kloss learned there.

Kloss hopes to attend portions of each camp throughout the summer to meet the participants and encourage them in their journeys as they delve into their new skill sets – and in many cases, their new potential career paths.

In a March 2016 blog post for Motto, a digital publication from the editors of Time, Kloss drew parallels between what she has learned from coding and fashion, asserting that both require creativity, problem-solving and self-expression. Through the coding classes she has taken, Kloss has become outspoken about the power of code, providing the support system to shape fashion, music, business and social good.

Kloss’ hometown Kode With Klossy camp will be held June 20 to July 1. For more information, visit kodewithklossy.com.

Dinner ...

Milagro Modern Mexican

I

n recent years, the Tilford Restaurant Group has become widely known in the area for its Mission Taco Joint restaurants in the Delmar Loop, Soulard and, most recently, the Central West End. But before that delicious concept bowed, there was Milagro Modern Mexican in Webster Groves. Not quite as funky décorwise, though by no means formal, Milagro may be a bit more understated than its restaurant siblings, but it quietly plates some of the best Mexican food around.

The tuna ceviche ($11.95) makes a primo way to kick off the Milagro experience. This app centers on ahi tuna marinated in lime juice and chilies, with that most tangy base then augmented with avocado and jicama, along with

a piquant house-made mango salsa and cilantro pesto – a dish sure to get taste buds ready for the main event.

I always appreciate combination plates on a menu, as they allow me to get both a variety of tastes and a feel for a place’s raison d’être. In that regard, Combo #72 ($16.50) was a no-brainer. This grouping consists of a grilled Baja fish taco, a chicken-and-chorizo quesadilla and a beef barbacoa enchilada roja, with some Mexican rice and black beans alongside. The chorizo was hearty and spicy, a good contrast to the tender chicken, while the slow-cooked barbacoa, a precursor to barbecue, basically melted in the mouth.

Following the same basic strategy, we ordered the

Tacos en Cazuela ($10.95), a trio of tacos served in a cazuela, or cast-iron skillet, with plenty of accompanying sauces and spices so diners can build their own version.

The basal tacos include that same sublime barbacoa beef with some poblano pepper and a chile de árbol salsa; cochinita pibil, a pulled pork from the Yucatan seasoned with pickled onion and a blood orange-habanero salsa that mixes sweetness and smoke quite nicely; and chicken tinga, with some cilantro and chile morita salsa.

Despite rice or beans being available gratis, we spent the extra buck for an order of street corn, sweet kernels straight off the cob that would have made the perfect accompaniment to just about anything.

Milagro offers plentiful cocktails, including a number of margarita options. We opted for some straight spirits to accompany our meal, though, sipping on a Peligroso Añejo tequila ($11) and an El Buho Mezcal ($9.50). Curious about these indigenous Mexican spirits and want to taste a few (strictly for research purposes, of course)? Check out some of the flights Milagro offers to get an idea of the variety of tequilas and mescals available out there – it’s enlightening.

In addition to dinner, guests during the daytime can enjoy dishes from a smaller lunch menu. A large public parking lot outside and garage spaces below make visiting Milagro an easy proposition, and its proximity to Webster’s theaters makes it an ideal venue to embark on a night on the town.

‌Story: Bobby is turning 35 years old and is about to be given a surprise birthday party by five couples, his closest friends. A man about town in New York City and a freewheeling bachelor, he enjoys many good times but wonders about commitment to another person to “complete” his life.

When Bobby can’t blow out the candles on his birthday cake, he admits he wished for nothing at all.

His friends, though, all have opinions about what he needs, mainly a woman and marriage. In a series of vignettes, Bobby visits each couple, as well as three women he’s dating, trying to decide where his life should be headed on this milestone.

Highlights: A multiple Tony Award-winner written

by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, Company opens Insight Theatre Company’s ninth season with a handsome production that showcases Sondheim’s mastery of sophisticated lyrics and lilting music.

This appealing rendition of Company again reminds one of Sondheim’s musical genius and how delightful it can be when performed as well as Insight’s production.

Other Info: Company, with a book by Furth and lyrics and music by Sondheim, opened on Broadway in 1970 and ran for more than 700 performances. It garnered six Tonys in 1971, including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Music and Best Lyrics.

It’s easy to understand why. Company abounds with intelligent, delightfully complex and witty numbers, and the Insight production directed (pardon the pun) insightfully by Doug Finlayson impeccably captures the magic of Sondheim’s tunes.

Finlayson makes shrewd use of his large, capable cast, positioning them carefully across the handsome, twotiered scenic design created by Peter and Margery Spack to accentuate the influence of Bobby’s many friends on his psyche, symbolically surrounding him with their good intentions and often-flawed results.

Martin Fox solidly plays the befuddled, questioning Bobby. Fox consistently conveys Bobby’s uncertainties about what he wants and where he’s headed, and

By Mark Bretz his smooth, steady voice nicely fits a number of Sondheim’s effective ballads, such as “Marry Me a Little” or “Someone Is Waiting.”

Melissa Gerth’s choreography ranges from lively (as in the opening title number) to seductive (as in the case of “Tick-Tock”) or enchanting (as when Bobby sings “Side by Side by Side” to open the second act with his friends in the background).

Several of the players shine on individual numbers, invariably succeeding under Finlayson’s nurturing guidance. Laurie McConnell showcases a sultry voice as the cynical Joanne on the acerbic “The Ladies Who Lunch,” mocking the empty lives of upper-class women, all while Samantha Irene displays her appealing talent on the difficult patter tune “Another Hundred People,” an example of Sondheim’s genius both musically and lyrically.

Seemingly, Company has one engaging song after another, and they’re well bridged with Furth’s intelligent dialogue.

Others offering fine performances include Phil Leveling and Meghan Baker as a warring couple, Harry and Sarah, who seem to thrive on their mutual carping; Jonathan Hey and Cherlynn Alvarez as the genial David and his self-proclaimed “square” wife, Jenny; and Cole Gutmann and Taylor Pietz as the oddly matched slick Peter and Southern belle Susan.

Sondheim has contributed several masterpieces to the American musical canon, and Company is deservedly near the top of his impressive portfolio. It’s a musical masterpiece given a sparkling interpretation by Insight.

The Wine Life WHAT I AM DRINKING NOW… ‌2014 MONTINORE ESTATE “BOREALIS” – WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON Grape Varietals: 39% Gewürztraminer, 33% Müller-Thurgau, 16% Pinot Gris, 12% Riesling Winemaker/Owner: Stephen Webber/ Rudy Marchesi Aged: Stainless steel Approximate Retail Price: $18 TASTING NOTES: Color: Light straw Aroma: Fresh flowers, white peach, lychee Taste: Flavors of peach, pineapple, yellow apple, lime zest with stone fruit to balance out the finish.

The fruit jumps right out of the glass, making this wine an aromatic charmer.

M

ontinore Estate, established in 1982, numbered among the earliest established wineries in Oregon’s

lush wine country. The vineyards consist of 210 acres of a Demeter Certified Biodynamic estate that lies at the northwestern end of the Willamette Valley and along the east-facing slope of the Coast Range foothills. True to its collective passion for old-world wines, the vineyard produces European/Italian coolerclimate grape varietals such as pinot noir, pinot gris, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, MüllerThurgau, Teroldego and Lagrein.

Rudy Marchesi took ownership of the winery in 2005 after many years of overseeing its operations. His Italian heritage nicely suited the Italian grapes grown on the estate.

Today, Marchesi runs the winery with his daughter and general manager, Kristin, with the goal of crafting wines expressive of the rolling hills and cool breezes of their vineyard.

Originally from England, winemaker Stephen Webber spent many years honing his skills in Australia, before becoming enamored of coolerclimate varietals in Alsace, France. Webber spent three years as assistant winemaker at Montinore Estate before taking over the helm as head winemaker in 2009.

By Stanley Browne The winery holds many festivals throughout the year, one of which, Maialata, “The Festival of the Pig,” pays homage to Montinore Estate’s Italian roots. In it, friends and pork aficionados gather for an old-world-inspired food-and-wine experience based on a tradition normally reserved for farmers, butchers and Italian villagers. Pork pairs perfectly with Montinore Estate’s higher-acid wines, with the acid in the wine balancing the fat in the pork.

Borealis – a great wine for warm weather and summer gatherings on patios, around pools and at barbecues – constitutes an interesting blend, with the Riesling and Gewürztraminer adding a touch of sweetness, balanced by the drier pinot gris and Müller-Thurgau.

Food Pairings: Borealis would pair well with goat or hard cheeses, grilled meats, roasted pork, cured meats and smoked seafood.

SERIES

ST. LOUIS

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos courtesy of FOCUS St. Louis

Over the course of a five-week series, LN is profiling the local organizations recently announced as FOCUS St. Louis’ 2016 What’s Right With the Region! honorees. This week, we’re highlighting those honored in the DEmOnStRatIng InnOvatIvE SOlUtIOnS category.

LadueNews.com | June 24, 2016

I

n an era obsessed with “branding” – at base, privileging style over substance – what constitutes true innovation? Similarly, during a period more and more plagued by societal myopia, what qualifies as genuine vision?

FOCUS St. Louis, which characterizes itself as “the region’s premier leadership organization,” is seeking to answer those and other imperative questions.

In February, for the 19th consecutive year, the organization announced a quartet of honorees in each of five categories: Demonstrating Innovative Solutions, Fostering Regional Cooperation, Improving Racial Equality & Social Justice, Promoting Stronger Communities and Responding to Community Needs and Entrepreneurs.

“As in years past, I think this year’s honorees reflect the diversity of organizations and individuals doing great work in our region,” says Becky Rasmussen, the organization’s director of marketing and communications, “from individuals to small grass-roots organizations to large-scale partnerships, from new initiatives to century-old organizations.”

Spotlighted in this profile (the first of five in a Ladue News series continuing throughout most of

July) are the four honorees in the Demonstrating Innovative Solutions category: EarthDance Farms, Jazz St. Louis, Rx Outreach and the St. Louis County Library.

Honorees in this category, Rasmussen says, have “demonstrated innovation and vision in making the St. Louis region a better place to live, work, invest or visit. This is purposely broad, as we recognize that innovation doesn’t take one single form.

“Our honorees showcase many different paths to moving our region forward. In this category alone, we see honorees tackling issues such as sustainability, arts education, literacy and health care.”

That said, FOCUS St. Louis would urge the region’s concerned and engaged citizenry to celebrate these four innovators and visionaries: EarthDance Organic Farm School (earthdancefarms.org) Although Ferguson lately has suffered scorn from both East Coast and West Coast talking heads for various reasons, locals know that that beleaguered community deserves better – and that it’s collectively been striving to better itself.

By way of example, consider this 14-acre farm, which Rasmussen calls “an integral part of the

Ferguson community” and which “serves as a national living laboratory for innovations in sustainability, collaborating on research with nearby universities and research institutions.”

During the better part of the last decade, she adds, EarthDance’s flagship program, the Farm & Garden Apprenticeship, has trained more than 230 aspiring growers from 60-plus ZIP codes in the region.

“The program represents the only part-time organic farming and gardening apprenticeship in the country,” Rasmussen says, “and 75 percent of graduates go on to work or volunteer in organic agriculture.” EarthDance also liaises quite heartily with the Ferguson-Florissant School District on educational and job-training outreach efforts focused on residents as young as 5 and as old as 21, in initiatives designed to further bring the community together for the sake of healthiness.

Ferguson, positively? Yes, Mr. or Ms. Talking Head – positively.

Jazz St. Louis (jazzstl.org) As the adoptive home of the late, great Miles Davis, St. Louis has a definite jazzy rep to maintain, and this honoree has long striven to do just that in various ways, as with its

lauded Jazz at the Bistro concert series.

However, Rasmussen notes, “Jazz St. Louis also fulfills an important role in inspiring the next generation of jazz musicians and fans.” For years now, she says, the organization “has exposed youth to jazz music at its annual Youth Concerts, brought nationally renowned artists to perform at schools and provided individual and small-group training through its JazzU and Artist Residency programs.”

More recently, Rasmussen says, it’s also “expanded its offerings through innovative partnerships and approaches, using the music to develop life skills like teamwork, leadership and responsibility” – providing the region not so much a grace note per se as a further gracious note.

Rx Outreach (rxoutreach.org) Big Pharma and the archetypal little guy might as well occupy separate planets, it almost goes without saying, with astronomical costs for medications making those meds inaccessible for many low-income patients with high deductibles or no prescription insurance.

“Rx Outreach was created to change that,” Rasmussen states of this entity incorporated only six years ago.

Calling it “the nation’s largest nonprofit mail-order

pharmacy,” she adds, “The organization has served more than 230,000 low-income patients, saving them in excess of $387 million since 2010. It offers more than 300 branded and generic medications for free or at significantly reduced prices for those battling both poverty chronic disease.”

Rx Outreach thereby serves regional residents both as a biological and a budgetary balm.

St. Louis County Library (slcl.org) Rasmussen characterizes this tome-laden treasure, with its Frontenac headquarters and 19 countywide branches, as “the busiest public library in Missouri.”

Yet being bonkers over mere books, in this (mostly still) new millennium, no longer suffices, and for better or for worse, the streetwise librarians of 2016 likely find themselves frequently hissing something a bit beyond “Shhh!”

In recent years, though, Rasmussen says the St. Louis County Library “has forged a number of community partnerships to reach underserved segments of the community. These include partnering with area hospitals on the Born to Read program, working with Operation Food Search to offer free lunches for children during the summer

and delivering educational materials to preschools and child care centers through the Preschool Outreach Program.”

This haven for bibliophiles also has numbered among only 30 libraries nationwide to take part in The Institute of Museum and Library Services’ ConnectED Library Challenge to ensure every schoolchild has a library card, Rasmussen relates.

To celebrate not only the preceding four honorees, but also their 16 fellows and FOCUS St. Louis’ 2016 Leadership Award recipient – Dr. Jason Q. Purnell of Washington University in St. Louis – the organization hosted a What’s Right With the Region! awards ceremony at The Sheldon Concert Hall in May. Co-chairing the ceremony were John Kemper, the president and chief operating officer at Commerce Bank, and June McAllister Fowler, senior vice president of communications at BJC HealthCare. All proceeds from that ticketed event, a release states, will “support the work of FOCUS St. Louis in developing leadership and building strong civic capacity.”
