EDITOR I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EXPLORING STORES FULL OF ECLECTIC ARTISNAL goods because you’re likely to find one-of-a-kind treasures not carried anywhere else – one such store is St. Louis’ Urban Matter, which is relocating its cherished home goods offerings to a location on South Grand Street.

Come July 20, as Brittany Nay relates in this Abode feature, Urban Matter will be in a light and airy space that is nearly double its prior size. And with double the space comes an expansion of its current offerings, plus the addition of new large-scale pieces like Phillip Finder ceramics and Collin Garrity tables. Learn more about the move (and new offerings) starting on page 24.

Speaking of moves, Washington University in St. Louis is moving on up, quite literally, by adding the Anabeth and John Weil Hall to its Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, while also doing an extensive expansion and renovation of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. Learn more about these exciting projects, as relayed by LN copy editor and staff writer Bryan A. Hollerbach, in an Arts & Culture feature starting on page 56.

All the best,

Care to Learn has touched my heart because this charity deals with the needs of individual children in such a private way. Kids are embarrassed if they don’t feel like all the others when they are deprived of essential health, hunger and hygiene needs. Care to Learn steps in and takes care of those needs so that every kid has an equal chance at learning.

Before adjourning to the main ballroom for lunch, a live auction and the presentation of the 2019 Man and Woman of Courage awards to Tracy Kisgen and Charles Glenn, guests enjoyed cocktails and a silent auction. Jackie Joyner-Kersee emceed the event, which special guest Louie also attended. Events like the luncheon have helped the society invest more than $40 million to advance more than 360 research projects around the world in the past year.

Over 1 million people in the United States live with multiple sclerosis. Events like On the Move Luncheon support those affected by MS while enabling needed research. It is so nice to see the generosity of those supporting this wonderful event.

ELEMENTS

FABULOUS FARMHOUSE

By Trey Ross

K

itchens should inspire. Whether that inspiration shines through culinary pursuits or forging familial connections, the kitchen is one of the most important spaces in a home. Joyce Mathis, ASID, of MJM Design Company understands this – and how even just one design element can demonstrate the versatility of the kitchen.

“My favorite part is the island and what it brings to the kitchen,” Mathis says. “It is family. It’s baking. It’s holidays, and it’s where they congregate!”

Mathis was tasked with a kitchen remodel for a family of six in Brentwood. “They wanted this to be a home where they weren’t going to move,” Mathis explains. Her clients love the school district and the amount of walkability, so it was essential to invest time and money in this space.

For a family that enjoys baking and spending a great deal of time in their kitchen, creating ample storage was crucial. Mathis explains that in lieu of a table, she designed an 8-foot island with lots of added cabinetry.

The aura of the space is upscale farmhouse with a touch of industrial. These elements can be seen in the farmhouse sink and the pendant light over the island, which features a durable Cambria Quartz countertop. To achieve a large, open and light kitchen, Mathis removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room, and created a breakfast nook.

But with such a dramatic design change, how could one possibly choose the best component? “The backsplash is the jewelry of the kitchen,” Mathis says.

MOVE

By Brittany Nay | Photos courtesy of Urban Matter

St. Louis’ cherished Urban Matter is relocating its unique home goods.

24

june 28, 2019 | LadueNews.com

A

n area boutique that features a thoughtful, hand-picked selection of home accessories and gifts is moving its curated collection of locally handmade treasures to St. Louis’ South Grand business district.

Urban Matter is leaving its charming home of almost five years in that city’s Dutchtown neighborhood to double its size with modern new digs at 3179 S. Grand Blvd., set to open July 20, with a grand opening gala scheduled for Aug. 3.

Because the boutique has been bursting at the seams with its unique array of housewares and handmade gifts, owners Mary Hennesy and Amy Schafer took almost two years to scout out and renovate a new location to expand Urban Matter’s selection to larger items – like introducing Torontobased furniture company Gus Modern.

Situated at the corner of South Grand Boulevard and Connecticut Street, the larger, lighter, brighter, 1,800-square-foot space with airy 14-foot ceilings and large windows will retain the boutique’s eclectic, cozy signature style with a combination bohemian, homey feel and Scandinavian modern design, Hennesy says.

“We have a large customer base in the Tower Grove and Shaw neighborhoods, and they are excited to be so much closer to us,” she says. “We hope they also love the additional selections.”

The expansive area will allow room for expanding Urban Matter’s collection of curated housewares, textiles, artwork, specialty foods, apparel, jewelry and other accessories to include new large-scale pieces from local artisans, such as Phillip Finder’s ceramics

and Collin Garrity’s wooden tables. These larger pieces “need space to breathe,” Hennesy says. “We want to showcase each item so people can envision giving it or having it in their own home.”

Urban Matter also will carry a wider variety of women’s apparel and children’s clothing, educational toys and books, as well as lines from more local makers, such as St. Louis attorney Shannon Bradford’s all-natural skin care line, Hossmas. And Schafer, who also is a maker, will offer a broader range of her handmade light fixtures and leather accessories for men and women.

To further spotlight local creators, the relocated boutique will host a Makers Series, which Hennesy likens to a pop-up shop that also will include talks by artisans about their inspirations and how much time and effort go into crafting their goods. “People will be able to really understand what it takes to make these thought-out, well-made items,” she says, adding that makers set to appear include Finder and Garrity, as well as fashion designer Michael Drummond, food and lifestyle photographer Jennifer Silverberg and jewelry designer Jenny Walker.

In addition to moving physically, Urban Matter plans to launch an online store and wedding registry within the next six months, Hennesy adds.

As with its previous location, Urban Matter’s new brick-and-mortar location aims to be a friendly neighborhood stop for visitors to find artful, mindful pieces for gifting or their own home, Hennesy says.

“When we are looking for items to carry, we always think, ‘Would I want that for myself? Is that a good price-point, and is it unique, beautiful and useful?’” she says. “We find things that feel good and people

want to have in their homes or would feel comfortable getting as gifts.”

Approximately 50 percent of Urban Matter’s inventory is made in Missouri, mostly within the metro area, but the boutique also offers items from around the country and the world – “to keep things interesting,” Hennesy says, adding “because it’s fun to introduce things that no one else has.”

Makers often learn of the boutique by visiting it or encountering it on Instagram (@urbanmatterstl), and Hennesy and Schafer always are seeking new artisanal creations, from local pop-ups, art shows and maker events to their travel stops around the world.

In addition to an expanded staff – Urban Matter added several part-time employees, all of whom were customers – the store’s hours also are expanding, from

26

june 28, 2019 | LadueNews.com

11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays. Although the boutique will still be closed Mondays, it will extend hours during neighborhood events, such as Fall Fest, featuring local makers carried by the shop, on Sept. 21.

Hennesy and Schafer are most excited about the new spot connecting them closer to their customers and the diverse South Grand business district of unique small businesses. “We have been welcomed by the neighbors, who have reached out to help us move and paint,” Hennesy says. “[Customers] who came in have consistently said that our [former] space [felt] good, so we are hoping they are going to love the new store just as much.”

ituated on a private lane in a prestigious Frontenac location, this majestic home is impressive from the start.

The circular staircase in the foyer flanks a stately formal living room, while a nearby sun room calls for time to unwind. The kitchen offers everything imaginable, from custom cabinetry to Viking and Bosch appliances, to an open flow into the family room, creating the perfect entertaining setup. Let guests relax around a wood-burning fireplace before leading them through French doors to an outdoor kitchen by the pool. A back staircase leads to a private master suite, complete with a fireplace of its own, his-and-hers sinks and a dressing area.

A new four-pArt fAshion competition orgAnized by prominent industry professionAls is redefining design.

June 28, 2019 | LadueNews.com

fter a decade of running the local Pins and Needles fashion competition and runway event, St. Louis native Dwight Carter was looking for a new project. Focused on emerging designers, the 10th annual Pins and Needles show wrapped in October 2018. For his next endeavor, Carter wanted to work with more established designers – those, he explains, who are looking for a creative challenge and industry connections. Fashion Anarchy, a new four-part series, aims to offer that opportunity.

“I wanted to do something a little more intimate, a little smaller,” says Carter, who also owns Brainchild Events. “The audience that we’re targeting are people [who] the designers are going to benefit off of. It’s more focused on the designer and not all the lights and glamour.”

This inaugural series includes four design competitions from May to November: four 48-hour projects focused on the past, the present and the future of the downtown St. Louis garment district, respectively, with the fourth event still to be determined, plus a live finale.

Three local participating designers – nine in total – are given all necessary supplies to create an outfit, including a working space, fabric and other sewing necessities like fasteners. (They may also spend up to $50 of their own money, if desired.)

Near the end of the 48-hour time frame, the corresponding event kicks off, where audience members can watch the look come together with live last-minute touchups and fittings before the judging begins. Designers also create corresponding window displays using supplies from the nearby Stevens – The Institute of Business & Arts (commonly called Siba) and give a small speech about their design and its relation to the theme. Tickets range from $25 to $45.

Held May 9 at the Saint Louis Fashion Fund, the first event – themed around the garment district’s past – featured designers Barbara Bultman, Daniel Reyes and Michael Shead. It ran smoothly, Carter says, noting the happy surprise of a kickoff event without too much behindthe-scenes chaos. Final looks are judged by rotating industry insiders (including a Neiman Marcus representative and Siba

fashion department head, a representative from the fund and Cedric Cobb, a recent ABC Shark Tank contestant for The Best Pocket Square) based on completion, theme and creativity.

Bultman earned top marks with her reversible jacket ensemble featuring a skirt that transformed into pants, which means she has secured her spot in the final round. Following the format completely by using the limited tools, Bultman not only created a garment that represented the theme but also a ready-to-wear garment that people in the audience wanted to purchase.

Although attendees are certainly welcome and encouraged to enjoy the experience, Fashion Anarchy differs from Pins and Needles and other modern fashion shows in one big way: It aims to help the designers more than to create a fancy night out for guests. Runway shows like New York Fashion Week were once more industry events than status-symbol celebrations; even on the local level, catwalk experiences are largely now focused on presenting fashion to the masses.

Fashion Anarchy hopes to take a step back and return the focus to industry professionals while showcasing local designers’ work to people who can further their careers.

“Someone in the audience [who’s] not in the fashion industry maybe liked your look, and they may want to buy some things, but it’s even more effective if it’s … long-term [exposure],” Carter says, explaining the benefit of presenting to a potential investor or collaborator, as opposed to a consumer who might purchase one outfit. “I’ve always had a passion for the designers getting something out of it.”

Carter explains the designers for the inaugural event were selected from both an open call and contact with previous Pins and Needles designers, as the turnaround from concept to kickoff was just seven months.

With a decade in the music industry before starting in fashion, Carter initially thought about hosting a musical event or an event where designers, graffiti artists and musicians all worked around a theme. As a self-proclaimed “person with too many ideas,” Carter forced himself to take a step back and refocus his energy. When he decided on a fashion theme, the next logical stop was the Saint Louis Fashion Fund. After two meetings, the event was finalized and greenlighted with support from the influential nonprofit.

The second Fashion Anarchy event (the garment district’s present) will take place on July 18 at the Saint Louis Fashion Fund, followed by the third on Sept. 12 (the garment district’s future) and the finale on Nov. 9. The final competition will include the winners from the three previous events working live at the soon-to-open The Last Hotel; visitors can watch designers work from the lobby before a final winner is selected. That designer will take home, among other prizes, a yearlong residency with the fund’s Fashion Lab. “The day of the [final] event, the designers will be designing and working on their looks all day in the window,” says Carter, noting a photo shoot will follow to show those outside the industry as large a peek as possible into the fashion world. “It gives them an idea of the clothing you have on and how much work it takes to make that happen.”

Although its concept differs from the runway shows fashion-lovers may have experienced before, Carter hopes area residents – both industry insiders and everyday fashion consumers – will try the new event.

“I want people to be intrigued by it and come for the experience – because that’s what we’re creating, an experience for our audience,” Carter says. “These designers took on the challenge without any negativity. It was something completely new, and they were really excited to do something different than your normal runway show.”

East + West

When Brian Simpson launched East + West seven years ago, he focused on two things: unique offerings and top-notch service. After deciding the time had come for his next adventure, Simpson thought it crucial to find someone who shared his dedication who could take over that menswear boutique in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood. That’s where St. Louis transplant Roy Brady comes in. Ladue News caught up with Brady, the new owner, who’s taking the reins on July 1.

How did you become the new owner of East + West?

I came into the shop one day to chat with Brian – a frequent occurrence at the time – and talked with him about a new direction I was taking in my life.

I had recently left my previous job and was excited about creating a plan for myself. Brian was someone who I felt was a great person to listen and confide in. Little did I know at the time he was also thinking about looking for a new career path as well!

Later on, I came back into the shop, and he dropped the news on me: He was looking to sell and asked if I was interested. I told him I was captivated

Changing Hands

By Julia Cain

by the idea, and I started exploring what that would look like. As time went on, it made more and more sense to me. I was superexcited to keep the gem in St. Louis that I’ve known for the last four years and to get the opportunity to explore and grow with everything that East + West is.

Tell us a bit about your career path. What led you to boutique ownership?

I worked in the coffee industry at St. Louis favorite Blueprint Coffee for about four years prior to this venture.

I got to be extremely familiar with St. Louis on a personal level there. It was a great experience to not only watch a new company grow but also to be a part of the effort to win over the city on a personalservice model.

What makes East + West special to you?

I connected with East + West through word of mouth and grew more and

more fond of it over time. I loved that the store provided good-quality clothes, and the platform allowed for personalization. The shop allows for just about anyone to come in and find something that they can make their own. The whole vibe celebrated the individual and what they brought when they walked in, while helping them discover new brands. It provides access to classics, fresh new looks and thoughtful odds and ends. It was superrefreshing to be around a whole bunch of different styles while having my own lanes to express myself throughout.

What types of changes can customers expect under the new ownership? And what are you hoping to keep the same?

East + West will be closed for the month of July while we do some updates and design changes. Some new waves coming into the shop will include

multiple new brands, a line of ceramics from [local potter/earthenware artist] Boda Clay and an in-house line down the road. I obviously have different taste when it comes to some things, so the look of the shop will be evolving as time goes on, but what East + West has done is so timeless. That means that brands that the existing community around the shop knows and loves will be sticking around, hopefully along with some soonto-be favorites as well.

With summer on the horizon, what should fashionable St. Louisans stock up on this season from East + West?

Right now, vacation collar shortsleeve button-ups are a great way to put some style on in the heat. Gitman Vintage [based in New York City] makes year-round classics for your wardrobe, making classic pieces fit seamlessly with modern fits. I love the retro looks when the pieces are versatile and easy to wear!

Bather swim trunks are a great pickup for summertime outings as well.

CONNECT THE DOTS

Times of Transition

‌“Y

our name is on the list.” To this day, I still remember hearing those six words.

They marked the start of the most significant career transition of my life, by signifying that my position was being eliminated. With several others, I had just become unemployed – for the first time in my life.

Other career transitions, in their times, had seemed significant: Early in my career, I unceremoniously learned in a department meeting that our director was “no longer with the organization.” At another time, a large meeting involved this announcement: “We are merging our organization with … ” Ironically, these messages took little time to deliver, but had huge impacts on my life.

Regardless of the circumstances of a significant transition, it immediately causes doubt about its ramifications. It might cause anxiety about the unknown and about the inability to foresee what’s next.

Most people like predictability – and career transitions can be incredibly unpredictable.

One normal reaction involves imagining the worst.

Been there, done that. While frightening, the reality of a career transition involves its potential inclusion

of new opportunity – with the trick being to embrace that opportunity.

Moderate success in a prior situation, for instance, could lead to a new, unbelievably successful situation.

A transition also could lead to working with someone extremely skilled in career advancement, causing personal career development beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. No one really knows what opportunities might arise.

Transitions can help people accept change. The “in between” can help them move from one thing to something different. As a simple example, take the arrival of spring – the transition from winter to summer, from cold weather to warm.

Although transitions can help people, they also often leave people feeling unprepared. Most folks lead orderly lives with slow transitions, like moving from grade to grade in elementary school, transitioning smoothly from one teacher to the next. Work, though, can be dreadfully disorderly, incorporating fast, unexpected and unnerving changes.

Choosing a Career

‌O

ur neighbor’s son, a 2019 graduate of the University of Oregon, recently invited us over for his mom’s “killer pot stickers” – a nice enticement, but the real point was, he needed advice. He’d majored in journalism and said, “None of the 40 of us in this major have found jobs. Why?” Both my husband and I, having years in this field, responded immediately: “Well, journalism is a downsizing profession. Less people are working for less money. Didn’t you know that?”

“No,” he replied. “Why didn’t the university tell us?” Well, universities are not in business to thwart dreams. They educate. You choose. But he had a serious point. Who helps you choose a career? Here are some suggestions: Focus on subjects you like and where you shine academically.

Ask parents, relatives and friends why they chose their careers and what they might have done differently early on.

Arrange a career day at your high school, where parents in diversified areas of expertise can speak.

They know their stuff and would probably be flattered by the invitation. (Check school rules first.)

Research “top 10” lists of careers that will be growing during your future and those predicted to decline. Many research entities produce these lists, including likely salaries.

If you have preferred geographical areas, research the top 20 most profitable companies in those regions.

Do this in high school because many companies recruit regionally, so this can affect a college choice.

Attend career fairs staged at colleges. Don’t wait until you’re a senior in college. Going early can affect your choice of a major.

Early is key here: Find an internship during your first year or two at college. This widens your insights and network of contacts.

By Janis Murray

Part-time jobs during high school or college are great! Having one not only helps to support your income but also gives you a better understanding of what careers might work for you – and what might not.

Volunteer outside your school. A recent client of mine in the education field realized during student teaching senior year that she couldn’t stand working with kids! Volunteering as a tutor or camp counselor earlier would’ve told her that.

Our neighbor’s son will pursue his master’s degree in advertising this fall, then hopes for law school – four extra years of college he and his parents didn’t plan on.

With a bachelor’s degree in business, he probably could have been starting his career right now. He asked me to speak at his college, because, “Geez! The younger ones need to know.”

“Of course,” I replied. Start here.

Retaining

theRooTainer

By Allison Pohle | Photos submitted

A West County mother-daughter duo has developed a solution to missing retainers.

L

ydia Pierce was only 5 years old when she started wearing a retainer. When the mid-St. Louis County kindergartner was at school one day, she took the expander out to eat her lunch and accidentally threw it away.

Even with insurance, a new expander cost $200. The girl’s mother, Sarah Pierce, worried many replacements were in their future. Like any child who wears a retainer, Lydia Pierce had to remove the expander whenever she ate, and because she was so young, she often found herself in situations where she didn’t have the expander’s case with her, whether at school, at friends’ houses or at restaurants while out to dinner with her family.

Storing the retainer proved difficult – often, kid’s clothes don’t have pockets anymore, and if they do, the pockets are too small to hold a traditional retainer case.

Sarah Pierce knew her family couldn’t be the only one in this predicament. After scouring the market for solutions and failing to find any, she and her daughter began creating their own.

The result is the RooTainer – a reimagined retainer case that can attach to a waistband or backpack – which launched a crowdfunding campaign this past winter after months of market research and many iterations of the design based on children’s and parents’ feedback. It is made of food-grade, Food and Drug Administration-compliant materials, is free of bisphenol A (commonly called BPA, a chemical used in plastic for food packaging, baby bottles and other goods) and is dishwasher-safe.

“It started with manipulating existing cases, sewing belts on them so they could be worn and testing the concept that way,” Sarah Pierce says. “Once we knew we had a viable concept, we hired a designer to begin the design process.

From there, we moved to creating 3D-printed prototypes

so they could be tested in a real-world environment. The RooTainer has been through many iterations, and the concept has evolved based on feedback provided by kids and parents alike.”

Because RooTainer is a passion project Sarah Pierce does in addition to working full time as a senior vice president at a consulting group, she ran a crowdfunding campaign to help raise capital for the large investment required to make the mold required to manufacture the case. She’s raised more than $4,000 thus far – but the target is $10,000, which will allow for the purchase of new molds so production can begin.

In this new version, the case has an improved clasp, which, Sarah Pierce says, is easy enough for children to open but secure enough to remain closed. This version will also have a carabiner hook so it can be fastened to a backpack, bag or purse. The new design will otherwise be customizable and will come with a variety of vinyl sticker and case color options.

This is Sarah Pierce’s first entrepreneurial project, one she says has been a great learning

“ experience for both her and her daughter. “I’ve learned the importance of trial and error and that nothing is as easy as it seems,” she says.

One of the most challenging parts, Sarah Pierce says, has been establishing relationships in new areas of business. Although the elder Pierce has worked in sales and marketing, she didn’t have experience in manufacturing, and she struggled to find partners willing to lend their time and expertise to help make RooTainer the best solution on the market.

“In St. Louis, we have a great entrepreneurial network, and I’m just starting to tap into some of the resources available to help move RooTainer forward,” Sarah Pierce says.

Despite the hurdles, the experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Lydia Pierce hasn’t lost her expander since she began using the RooTainer – and she isn’t the only one.

“To test our concept, we produced prototypes and had kids in similar situations wear RooTainers this school year,” her mother says. “We’re happy to report that not one of them lost their retainer after they started using the RooTainer.”

And Sarah Pierce says working on RooTainer has been a great journey for the mother-daughter duo. She hopes their experience will inspire other young children, especially girls, to explore entrepreneurship and all it has to offer.

“What a learning experience for my daughter!” Sarah Pierce says. “I want her to see firsthand that with passion and hard work, you can achieve great things.”

To test our concept, we produced prototypes and had kids in similar situations wear RooTainers this school year. We’re happy to report that not one of them lost their retainer after they started using the RooTainer.”

The Old Warson Cup Championship, hosted by the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association, numbers among golf’s premier amateur events.

Callahan just finished his sophomore year at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. He now plans to transfer to another school but hasn’t yet chosen which.

Whitfield finished with a team score of 686, eight back of state champion St. Pius X of Kansas City.

Junior Drew Newlin finished third overall with a two-day total of 149. Sophomore Henry Nordlund tied for 31st with a 175. Senior Clayton Strege shot a 178 to finish 38th overall. Junior Donald Diemer tied for 48th place with a 184.

“The boys were really excited,” Whitfield coach Michael Slater says. “They certainly believed that first was within reach, but they were pleased with the secondplace finish. I was proud of our guys. I’m not sure that anyone expected this from us.”

Cronin finished second with a two-day total of 148 at Silo Ridge. After an opening round of 76, he responded with a sizzling 72 in the second. That left him alone in second place.

“I really was hoping my 72 would get me all-state honors, but I didn’t really expect to get second place,” Cronin confesses.

Marquette coach Eric Schweain praises him: “I thought it was awesome. We have had a number of great golfers go through Marquette, and that performance put him near the top at the state tournament. It really didn’t surprise me that Jack played this well.”

As a freshman, Cronin finished 59th with a 166. Last spring, he placed 77th with a 167.

As for next spring, Cronin already has his sights set on state again, noting, “I am hoping to make it four trips to state and that the Marquette team can pull off a victory at state next year.”

he main ingredient to fueling a dream is passion, as American Bank of Missouri attests, which is why it has a dedicated team that devotes themselves to making your business visions come to life. The place where passion and reality meets is best guided by the No. 1 team in Small Business Administration (SBA) lending in the St. Louis area.

“Our secret sauce is how we approve and close loans,” senior VP and SBA division manager Ted Kraizer says. SBA loans are backed 75 percent by the federal government and awarded to candidates who do not qualify for standard loans, whether due to lack of collateral or a down payment or because the business in question is a startup.

American Bank was named the “St. Louis District Office 2019 Community Bank of the Year” by the United States Small Business Administration and earned the designation of Preferred Lender. “We are successful because of the support of our board of directors and CeO,” Kraizer declares. “Other banks measure their [turnaround time] in weeks; we measure ours in days.”

The leadership team at American Bank trusted Kraizer to build the SBA loan department from scratch, beginning in March 2017. Gina Rodgers, Kraizer’s former colleague, brought her expertise in SBA to the operations side of the team. Another former colleague, Brian McCarthy, joined next as credit manager and has evolved into a successful lender. Kraizer then met SBA lender Dave Ruby through a mutual professional acquaintance, and Melissa ewen was brought in by Rodgers, whom she had known professionally for years.

“Our strategy is offering the best service in the market,” Kraizer says of the significant award the team earned. “What we did last year was great. Now, we’ve got to do it again! And as of May, we’re leading the pack for SBA lending this year.”

INTRODUCING

If you work hard and you have the highest degree of ethics, success comes your way.

n her storied career, Alisse Camazine, principal of Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal, P.C., has accomplished much on behalf of her clients and firm. The family law attorney recently was named under the “Top 10” Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyers list and has been distinguished as a recipient of one of the coveted Missouri Lawyers Weekly ICON Awards. The latter is an honor afforded only to those in the field of law who have shown a long-standing commitment to the Missouri legal community, are 60 years old or older and have held a senior position within their organization.

“I was beyond humbled,” Camazine says of the lifetime accolade. “This award personifies the ideals of what it means to be a lawyer and is peer-initiated. If you work hard and you have the highest degree of ethics, success comes your way.”

Integrity remains at the core of how Camazine operates personally and professionally. Her legal career started at a time when women were a rarity in the field. “You had to know how to navigate through older male attorneys calling you ‘honey’ and ‘babe,’” she recalls. “I teach lawyers, especially women, that what’s most important is doing your work and having a high degree of ethics. That way, when you open your mouth in front of a judge, they know that what you are saying is the truth.”

That honesty extends to the top-rated service she provides clients. “You have to be an agent of reality for your clients,” Camazine asserts. “A judge once said that the hardest part of what he did was watching lawyers give bad legal advice by telling clients what they want to hear. I try to be responsible by telling clients what the law is. That is a big part of what I’ve taught at the firm.”

At Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal, P.C., everyone works together to accomplish solid representation for clients. “No one is more important than the next,” Camazine explains. “You can’t do your work without your staff. I spend a lot of time working with the other lawyers in the office. I now have younger partners who are mentoring as I do.”

The support of her colleagues is something Camazine feels beyond the legal realm. She serves on the board of directors at Gateway to Hope, a charitable organization that removes barriers to affordable and timely quality health care for people with breast cancer.

“This is a cause that is near and dear to me, as I am a breast cancer survivor,” Camazine shares. She co-chaired last year’s KaleidoHope gala and was thrilled to see her entire staff come out in support. She looks forward to chairing the 10th annual KaleidoHope gala on October 12.

erk Soul, a small carryout storefront in St. Louis’ Hyde Park neighborhood, specializes in Caribbean fare with flair by offering classic dishes alongside modern fusion items teeming with a taste of the tropics.

The eatery comes from partners Zahra Spencer and Telie Woods, who hail from St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Chicago, respectively. The couple intended to fulfill their dream of opening a restaurant together and, after a series of unforeseen circumstances, brought that dream here.

“We were planning to open a small shanty on the beach together,” Spencer says, “but a week after Telie moved to St. Thomas, Hurricane Irma came. The landscape of the island had changed, and the place we were looking to rent was washed away.”

52

JUNE 28, 2019 | LadueNews.com

By Mabel Suen Spencer stayed in the area with family to weather another storm, Hurricane Maria. Meanwhile, Woods wound up here – where his car had been left with a friend – after a difficult journey back to the continental United States at the behest of family members. He subsequently found the turnkey storefront that would realize the couple’s vision: Jerk Soul.

“It’s a fusion of both of our backgrounds,” says Spencer, who previously managed kitchens in St. Croix, coordinating a children’s nutrition program. “Telie has also always had a passion for the industry. He even had his own food blog while living in Chicago and had the opportunity to work with a lot of restaurateurs.”

From the menu, guests can find tried-and-true recipes from Spencer’s Caribbean upbringing, such as jerk wings and a dish she holds near and dear to her heart, an oxtail

entrée, in which the braised beef comes in a savory mix of carrots, herbs and seasonings. Classic saltfish centers on fresh salted cod served with vegetables – a staple she grew up eating with her family on Sunday mornings.

On the fusion side of the menu, Telie’s expertise comes into play, taking Spencer’s top-secret jerk sauce – which she describes as tangy, sweet and savory with a little kick at the end – and integrating it into Americanstyle entrées. A jerk chicken pizza, for instance, features jerk chicken with mozzarella and chunky tomato sauce on garlic flatbread. Jerk chicken nachos comprise warm tortilla chips topped with cheese, sweet corn salsa and sour cream.

“Rasta Pasta,” meanwhile, involves penne coated with a creamy sauce and sautéed peppers served with garlic naan. (Add jerk salmon or chicken for an extra

punch, mon!)

Sides include Woods’ family recipe for mac ’n’ cheese and Spencer’s family recipe for Caribbean corn. The latter features grilled corn on the cob that’s boiled down with a sauce infused with butter, coconut milk, onions, thyme, sweet pepper and more. For dessert, Jerk Soul offers rotating options like banana pudding cheesecake, strawberry crunch cake and carrot cake.

Those craving a beach getaway should consider this the perfect substitute for those breezy Caribbean flavors – and order multiple dishes for maximum impact before catching Max & Louie Productions’ Indecent, showing at The Grandel.

“The reception’s been overwhelmingly positive,” Spencer says. “We couldn’t ask to be in a better location, and we’re so happy to be part of the revitalization of the area.”

‌Story: Young Polish-Jewish writer Sholem Asch longs for his play, Got fun Nekome (God of Vengeance), to be read by his mentor, acclaimed Yiddish writer I.L. Peretz. The drama focuses on the daughter of a Jewish brothel owner who falls in love with a prostitute and incurs her father’s wrath.

After Peretz and a number of other Jewish intellectuals read Asch’s script – which includes a lesbian love scene and a character throwing the Torah to the floor in anger – Peretz advises Asch to burn his manuscript.

Instead, Asch travels to Berlin, where Jewish actor Rudolf Schildkraut and director Max Reinhardt stage a production in 1907. The huge hit prompts Asch to take it to other European cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Later in 1907, a Yiddish production of Got fun Nekome achieves success in New York City, although several Yiddish newspapers condemn it as “immoral” and “indecent,” while the radical Forverts publication champions it.

When the English version of God of Vengeance finally hits Broadway in 1923, the entire cast and its producer are charged and convicted for obscenity (with the convictions later dropped on appeal).

On their release, the cast takes the production back to Europe. Asch, who had moved to America in 1914, returns to Connecticut seriously depressed by the vicious anti-Semitism he saw in Eastern European pogroms while visiting in an official capacity.

Asch buries himself in his work as a novelist, turning away from playwriting after the devastating aftermath of God of Vengeance, which people considered immoral.

His former comrades in the play’s troupe continue to perform it even as the threat of Nazi Germany grows, culminating in World War II and the genocide of 6 million European Jews.

Highlights: Max & Louie Productions’ St. Louis premiere of Paula Vogel’s taut, searing and beautifully written play is being brilliantly staged.

Other Info: Vogel’s script is called “the true story of the little Jewish play” in a heading above the seated players at the beginning of the work; it’s also the latest excellent locally performed drama based on littleknown historic people and events.

An excellent timeline in Max & Louie’s program notes that Vogel was contacted by Rebecca Taichman in 2010 to possibly collaborate on a play about God of Vengeance. Taichman then conceived and directed the original Broadway production of Indecent in 2017, winning a Tony Award for Best Director.

Indecent resembles a seven-course meal loaded with abundant, albeit healthy, calories: rich and thick in meaning with layers of philosophical and intellectual content. It surely would benefit from multiple viewings. The script is crisp and direct; the

By Mark Bretz

staging, expertly devised; and the performances, of the highest caliber.

Director Joanne Gordon shrewdly uses every theatrical facet available to her in Max & Louie’s riveting, mesmerizing presentation, which runs nearly two hours in one smooth (and surprisingly brisk) act.

This is truly an ensemble effort in the best sense.

No one player dominates the dialogue, although Paul Cereghino’s heartfelt turn as the troubled Asch comes closest, potentially matched only by John Flack’s robust performances as Peretz, Schildkraut and the elder Asch in the 1950s.

Zoe Farmingdale is effective both as Asch’s wife and as the brothel owner’s young daughter. Katie Karel excels both as the prostitute and as a German supremacist in Schildkraut’s troupe.

T.J. Lancaster is magnificent as the stage manager, who informs the audience at the start, “This is a story about the play that changed my life.” Yiddish dialect coach Menachem Szuz lends his expertise to the presentation, too.

Vogel’s script masterfully incorporates music and dance, beautifully realized here under Ron McGowan’s musical direction and Ellen Isom’s simple yet direct choreography. Gordon integrates the performances of musicians Nelly Friedman on violin, Morris Godowsky on accordion and Mayer Balsam on clarinet and mandolin seamlessly throughout the show.

Indecent provides a penetrating, remarkable look at theatrical history and the survival of art even in the most savage of times. Max & Louie Productions’ rendition is both an intellectual and emotional achievement of the highest rank.

a winning combination.

The four sauvignon blancs the couple produces are The Loop, Three Brooms, Ranga Ranga – and Arona. Characterizing all four is their tendency to defy the typical pink grapefruit attribute common to New Zealand sauvignon blancs.

Instead, the focus falls more on a combination of minerality and fruit, allowing Barker’s Marque wines to stand out from their neighbors.

Arona’s more tropical attributes make it a perfect glass pour through the summer.

Although still subtly showcasing the aforementioned pink grapefruit flavors, it also has refreshing minerality laced with pineapple and passionfruit.

Food Pairings: Arona pairs wonderfully with scallops, shrimp, and mussels, as well as beet salads, melted goat cheese with spicy tomato sauce, fresh herbs and light chicken dishes.

any wine aficionados associate Marlborough, New Zealand, with sauvignon blanc – and why not? A fantastic region for such a varietal, it yields a unique style of the

wine unmatched around the world.

The vineyard’s mostly clay soil makes it a unique microclimate with great water retention, and that microclimate has enabled viticulturist Vanessa Barker and her winemaker husband Simon Barker to craft four distinct sauvignon blancs.

Usually under such circumstances, vintners create different-tier wines, with accompanying price variations. However, Barker’s Marque, a company less concerned with profit than most, chose instead to have its four representations remain in a similar price range. By thus simply presenting consumers with a choice of styles, the vineyard has remained focused on sustainability, quality and style.

The Barkers takes a “less is more” approach to growing and producing wine, quoting themselves as saying “sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing.” This allows the expression of each of their wines to reflect natural growing conditions and terroir.

Building on

Greatness

Construction at one of the area’s preeminent postsecondary educational institutions soon will heighten its already grand profile.

N

ew and renewed architectural activity at Washington University in St. Louis frankly boggles the mind.

That activity, just part of a $280 million transformation of the east end of the university’s 169-acre Danforth Campus, involves two structures under its famed Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts: the construction of the Anabeth and John Weil Hall and the extensive expansion/renovation of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.

“This truly is the dawn of a new era,” says Carmon Colangelo, the Ralph J. Nagel Dean and E. Desmond Lee Professor for Collaboration in the Arts at the Sam Fox School. “Weil Hall and the expanded Kemper Art Museum demonstrate the important role that art, architecture and design education play within a top-tier private research university.

“These two major new projects transform the Sam Fox School campus, reshape the visitor experience and firmly establish the prominence of our art museum on campus. Weil Hall will house graduate studios, a digital fabrication studio, a media center and shared spaces for undergraduate and graduate students, and the museum’s public display space will increase by nearly 50 percent.”

Improvements to the roughly 8,700-work-strong museum are scheduled for completion early in August, according to Dr. Sabine Eckmann, its William T. Kemper Director and chief curator, who briefly dwells on the facility: “I’m very excited about all the improvements taken together – from the dazzling façade [to] the Kemper Art Museum’s location in the new Tisch Park to the expansion of exhibition space.

“Ultimately, I’m most excited about new and expanded gallery spaces. It gives us the possibility to show much more of our renowned art collection and at the same time curate more ambitious temporary exhibitions. In the future, we hope to attract more diverse audiences – everyone will identify one or more favorite artworks in the expanded Kemper Art Museum.”

The dean, too, expressly cites two features mentioned by his colleague: “A striking new 34-foot-tall polished stainless steel façade will draw visitors to the expanded Kemper Art Museum, and the expansion will strengthen visibility and better showcase the renowned permanent collection.”

LadueNews.com | JUNE 28, 2019

Other Kemper-related improvements include: • • • • • •

The 2,700-square-foot James M. Kemper Gallery.

The Stair Gallery, with seldom-displayed objects from the museum’s collection.

New galleries on the lower level.

The first permanent space for the museum’s video art, also on the lower level.

A lower-level expanded teaching gallery.

A first-floor coffee bar.

The Kemper, not coincidentally, will reopen in style with “Ai Weiwei: Bare Life”; that exhibition devoted to the extremely high-profile Chinese artist/activist will run from Sept. 28 to next Jan. 5.

For his part, the dean relates what about Weil Hall – which itself will open just in time for the start of the fall semester, on Aug. 26 – most intrigues him.

“It’s truly an inspiring building, featuring light-filled and flexible loft-style studios and open workspaces,” Colangelo says. “The building is designed with a great deal of visual transparency – you can literally see the sections between floors and activities throughout the building. The large, elegant doorways and portals to Weil create a tremendous ‘front door’ to the Sam Fox School, with a dramatic cantilever on the northwest corner overlooking a lower garden.

“The windows inside frame many architectural details in the surrounding area of campus, with spectacular views of Brookings Hall and Tisch Park. Weil Hall also features a dramatic two-story interior court with a 30-foot living green wall, creating a beautiful central social space and collaborative environment. There’s also a wonderful outdoor seating wall that wraps the northern and eastern façade of the building, looking onto the reinstalled Florence Steinberg Weil Sculpture Garden.”

Carmon Colangelo

As another Weil Hall feature worthy of note, it includes a commissioned mural wall that will sport new works by alumni yearly. Also, this coming semester, the Master of Fine Arts in Illustration & Visual Culture program – new to the Graduate School of Art, one branch of the Sam Fox School – will occupy Weil Hall’s central 2,600-square-foot Roxanne H. Frank Design Studio.

Not by accident, all of this Danforth Campus activity has embraced what’s commonly called sustainability, an issue of growing significance if not downright criticality in architecture, as well as a core value at the Sam Fox School. In that regard, new construction there has incorporated features like these: • LEED Gold status, as defined by the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, one of the world’s most popular green building certification programs.

• Solar photovoltaic arrays on many roof surfaces.

• A varied arboreal canopy.

• Bio-retentive rain gardens.

• An underground garage with a green roof.

Now that Weil Hall’s opening and the Kemper’s reopening are approaching, Colangelo reflects proudly on how it feels to bring to fruition such a grand endeavor. “Designed by the internationally acclaimed architecture firm KieranTimberlake [from Philadelphia], both projects are part of the transformation of the east end of Washington University’s Danforth Campus – a historic undertaking featuring eight major components,” he states.

“We’re at the ‘right place at the right time,’ as for the first time in decades, all of our graduate and undergraduate art, architecture and design programs will be located together at the front door, where we will encourage and invite collaboration across disciplinary boundaries throughout the university.”

Dining & Entertainment

Copia, named for the Roman goddess of plenty, is driven by the notion that enjoyment can be had by all who enter this established eatery, whether you are on a first date, meeting colleagues or dining with the family.

The restaurant and lounge opens its doors at a new location in Clayton, the second spot for the local chain, with another located in West County. “We’re not a national chain,” owner Amer Hawatmeh notes. “We’re just a small family in St. Louis, serving St. Louisans. We want to find out what people want and to deliver it.” On the next page, discover how his vision has come to life.

opia, the Roman goddess of plenty, defines the joyous excess you and yours can experience at the two family-owned dining establishments that share her name.

“Copia is known for its phenomenal farm-to-table food and Southern-inspired cuisine,” owner Amer Hawatmeh says. “It is also known for its unique touches, like the enormous bourbon, whiskey and scotch collection, and its barrel-aged and pressed cocktails. We’re not only a restaurant; we’re not just a wine store. We are a restaurant where you can buy wine and take it home, or stay and drink it with us.”

Techniques, like using a French press on food ingredients such as herbs and fruit to enhance cocktails, is not the only thing that elevates Copia’s status. The atmosphere also captivates, transforming one’s routine of going out for a bite to eat into something more sophisticated and yet still down-to-earth. Step inside Copia’s newest location in Clayton, and you are transported to a joint that begs you to stay and play for a while.

“Clayton is a unique property, with low ceilings, so we made it feel like an old speakeasy,” Hawatmeh details. “At night, the lounge is for 30-year-olds-and-up.

We want it to feel like the old days of going out to dinner and dancing. At night, we’ll have DJs, and someday during the day, we’ll have bands. Come in and meet other people and socialize.”

Hawatmeh, who is deeply invested in the St. Louis food industry, wants to renew the heyday of the area’s restaurant legends. “All of our elders in the local food scene have passed on,” he shares, mentioning Anthony Bommarito of Tony’s and Doris and Joe Kemoll of Kemoll’s.

“We want to bring back the personalities [who mastered the ambiance of] going out to dinner,” he claims, pointing to the care of detail at each of his eateries.

“Copia Clayton has snacks and small plates, an inexpensive variety of great quality, and Copia West County is the comfort food of comfort foods. We have the look and quality of fine dining but are more like family dining. We want people to be themselves.”

The key, Hawatmeh believes, is in following the standards set by those before him. “It’s the idea I learned from my grandma and mom,” he explains. “They’d say, ‘People come in as guests, eat as friends and leave as family.’ When you see my sons helping me in the restaurant, this is what makes a family moment. Copia is an experience, a community.” And he welcomes you and yours to become a part of it.
