What’s your favorite taco (see p. 44)?

DIANE ANDERSON I love the tacos de pescado a la plancha at Amigos Cantina in Kirkwood – grilled spicy whitefish topped with shredded napa cabbage, yogurt sauce, pico de gallo and queso fresco. Totally yummy!

SARAH KLOEPPLE I can’t believe I have to choose one taco over another.

But if I must: Seoul Taco. The savory bulgogi and spicy secret sauce are unbelievably mouthwatering. Forgive me, all other tacos.

DENISE KRUSE Tacos are kind of my thing. Every Christmas Eve, my husband and I make a huge taco spread – it’s our

from the

Editor ‌Every week when I sit down to write my editor’s letter, I read through the week’s content again for inspiration. And every week I have a similar experience: I’m left in awe at the number of noteworthy things happening in the St. Louis area each and every day.

In this week’s Abode section, for example, we feature Olneya Restoration Group, a woman-owned roofing and restoration company that helps consumers struggling with storm damage and general home-improvement woes. Since launching in 2007, Olneya has assisted more than 8,000 families in and around St. Louis with home restoration and improvement needs. The company’s work is humbling and inspiring, and a story we’re proud to share with you.

In this week’s Style section, LN contributing writer Denise Kruse shares the story of two dapper St. Louis natives who have launched their own line of raw denim, Loyal Collective. The company is all about going back to the basics and reintroducing people to high-quality denim. As someone known to say that things aren’t made like they used to be, I’m thrilled to feature Loyal Collective and its made-to-last line of denim. I hope you enjoy learning about Loyal’s work and products as much as I did.

All the best,

History of

By Robyn Dexter | Photo courtesy of Old Newsboys

F

or nearly 60 years, the St. Louis community has stepped up to the plate to help support local charities through a campaign known as Old Newsboys.

The group was founded in 1957 as a way to ensure that children who are at risk because of abuse or poverty receive adequate food, shelter, clothing and medical care, and are provided an equal opportunity for social development.

The campaign is probably best known for its Old Newsboys Day, which takes place the Thursday before Thanksgiving each year. This year, on November 17, thousands of volunteers will take to the streets to sell a special-edition newspaper written by high school students.

Among the volunteers will be Billy Busch, this year’s chairman of the campaign. Busch is no stranger to Old Newsboys. His father, Gussie Busch, chaired the campaign in 1967.

Busch recalls how his father not only was a chairman, but also sold newspapers every year on the street corner with his Anheuser-Busch employees.

“He always explained to me when I was younger how Old Newsboys gets the community together to help children in need,” Busch says. “I grew up around it. Now I’m honored to follow in his footsteps.”

This year’s fundraising goal is $650,000, which will be donated to more than 200 local children’s charities. The campaign began in early May with a kickoff event at the Busch Family Estate at Grant’s Farm, which Busch says was a great opportunity to thank past

sponsors and help new sponsors become engaged.

Since its founding many years ago, Old Newsboys has raised and distributed $19.5 million. The money is distributed to small nonprofits in the form of grants. Busch notes how the organization really focuses on helping nonprofits that have small budgets and limited resources. Grants can provide things like car seats, baby bottles, diapers, uniforms, shoes, coats, food and medicine.

“Over the years, I’ve seen so many people step up to the plate to help,” Busch says. “I’ve really seen how Old Newsboys affects the community. The people at these charities are at the front lines helping these kids. Just to see how happy they are [when they receive a grant] and knowing they’re helping kids is an amazing feeling.”

In addition to the big day in November, the organization is hosting an event in August. Busch says the event will be an opportunity to learn more about Old Newsboys’ past successes and future goals. Attendees will listen to stories from past leaders and recipients and “create a passionate and intimate connection to [Old Newsboys’] proud history,” Busch says.

To receive an invitation to the event, contact Mary Ann Wagner at mwagner@yourjournal.com or visit oldnewsboysday.org.

DRF’s Dream Gala took place May 7 at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch. For its nearly 20 years of support, KPMG – represented by the St. Louis office’s managing partner, Karen Vangyia, and partner Jim Zeck – received the Philanthropic Leadership Award. More than 500 guests attended this year’s annual event, the proceeds from which go toward research on curing, preventing and treating Type 1 diabetes. The bash included a cocktail reception, a multicourse dinner, and silent and live auctions. In JDRF’s signature Fund A Cure program, 100 percent of taxdeductible contributions drive research for artificial-pancreas technology, beta-cell replacement therapies and other priorities. Dan and Thanda Meehan chaired the event, held by the JDRF’s Greater Missouri & Southern Illinois Chapter.

It raised three quarters of a million dollars for diabetes research.

Photos and story by David Anderson

A

special event celebrating the lives of Jewish women recently took place at the Sky Deck at Clayton on the Park.

At it, guests enjoyed kosher hors d’oeuvres. Lion of Judah Society gave women who contributed $5,000 or more to the Jewish Federation of St. Louis a special 14-karat gold pin in the shape of a lion, signifying their commitment to the worldwide Jewish community.

Ayanna Nahmias described her remarkable journey from being a Muslim in Africa to becoming an Orthodox Jew in America. Born in Florida and raised in Nigeria and Tanzania, She has led an epic life involving the three largest Abrahamic religions.

Nahmias’ determination to transcend her past and achieve wholeness led her to launch The Nahmias Cipher Report online to inform and give hope to people who themselves may be facing repressive situations. She now lives in Washington, D.C., with her biracial Jewish son and mother, a Baptist minister who fully supports her life choice to live as an Orthodox Jewish woman.

The federation is here to help individuals live lives of dignity, meaning and purpose based on Jewish values for Judaism, which can be part of a life well lived. To help people do that and achieve that mission that connects tradition and history and that helps them live according to a set of moral principles is just very satisfying.

The association served more than 12,000 people in Missouri and southern Illinois last year, just part of the 35,000 living with Parkinson’s disease in the bistate area.

BARCELONA

By Sarah Kloepple

Originally a small colony surrounded by Roman walls, Barcelona has become one of the most lively and colorful Spanish metropolises. Known as the capital of the highly industrialized Catalonia region, Barcelona rests on the Iberian Peninsula, nestled between the rest of Spain and the crystal waters of the Mediterranean. Its warm beaches snake along the Mediterranean coast, while fresh-food markets dot the city’s neighborhoods. Rich history abounds in this vibrant city at places like the Basílica de la Sagrada Família, which not only is one of its most-visited sights, but also has become a symbol of Barcelona. These three pieces are a sure way to create a vibrant Barcelona flair to your abode.

O

lneya Restoration Group is helping give the Hollis-Duboise family a brand-new place to call home. The woman-owned St. Louis residential and commercial construction company is part of the Habitat for Humanity 2016 Women Build project, a national program that takes place throughout the year in communities across the country to empower women to raise funds and build homes for women in their neighborhoods who are first-time homeowners.

“This house will provide enough space for this growing family of five to thrive, as well as keep their mortgage affordable for their family,” says Crystal Anderson, Olneya’s president and chief executive officer.

Olneya, which provides construction services including storm restoration, roof replacement and repair, siding, windows, gutters and attic insulation, was founded in 2007 to help consumers struggling with storm damage and general home-improvement woes. Since its conception, Olneya has helped more than 8,000 families in and around the St. Louis area complete their restoration and home-improvement projects, including the installation of more than 15,000 roofs.

As Women Build celebrates its eighth year, the project broke ground on a new home for the HollisDuboise family in St. Charles County. Olneya staff, working alongside veteran Habitat for Humanity construction manager Tony Bradbury, added the roof to the family’s house in June. And the young couple and their three children will be moving in right before

Christmas, Anderson says.

Anderson calls Women Build “the perfect project” for her company. “Roofing is the leading source of services we provide,” she says. “The roof is the one thing that protects one’s biggest investment – your home.”

As a leader in the insurance-restoration industry, commercial renovations and improvements, and charitable projects to help families in need of a hand up, Olneya has achieved steady growth during the past nine years, from three employees to more than 20 and a No. 608 rank on the 2012 Inc. 5000 list of fastestgrowing private companies in the nation. “We do not measure our growth by the revenue we generate; we measure our growth by how many happy customers we have served,” Anderson says.

That’s why, since the beginning, giving back to the community has been a part of Olneya’s mission of educating, helping and earning clients’ trust.

Among its charitable projects, Olneya has partnered with Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County to help build four homes since 2012. The company’s future goal is to provide roofing services for at least two homes per year through the project. “Since the beginning, the St. Louis community has helped us become one of the area’s most trusted roofing companies, so this is a very meaningful way for us to give back,” Anderson says.

According to Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County, all homeownership applicants come from various backgrounds and have their own story to tell.

And the selection process is stringent – families must

be willing to commit to a partnership with Habitat St. Charles ReStore, live in the St. Charles County area, have the ability to pay their monthly mortgage, do 350 “sweat equity” hours of financial and homeowner education, and also help to build their own home. In addition, the mortgage the selected applicant pays over 30 years is returned to Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County to help the organization build affordable homes for even more hardworking, lowincome families. The local chapter of the nonprofit has built 75 homes in 18 years, helping more than 250 family members restart their lives as homeowners and community neighbors.

Along with Habitat for Humanity, Olneya seems to be living up to its name. The moniker, taken from the desert ironwood tree that stands as a symbol of protection and safety for all that inhabits the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern U.S., mirrors how Olneya Restoration Group serves as a protector to those residing in its community.

“Community involvement has always been our biggest accomplishment – giving back is by far a greater payday than any monetary reward,” Anderson says. “We believe every member of the Olneya staff and all of our customers are family.” And now Olneya has five more members – the Hollis-Duboise family.

Summerproof Makeup

By Kimmie Gotch

‌N

o matter what outdoor activities you have planned this summer, you’ll want to feel confident that your makeup, after those activities, will look and feel as good as when you applied it. The summer heat shouldn’t stop you from sporting the classic makeup look that makes you feel like you. So if you want your face to feel and look fresh all day, consider these five simple tips:

makeup (foundation, concealer and so forth), set it with a powder that will prevent your foundation from moving throughout the day.

Start with a primer. If you want your foundation to stay in place all day, use a primer. Primers help prep your skin while locking in your foundation.

Keep blotting sheets in your purse. After following the preceding steps, your makeup will stay put throughout the day. If your T-zone – the central part of your face, including your forehead, nose and chin – or other facial areas aren’t feeling quite as fresh as they were when you first applied your makeup, though, use a blotting sheet to blot the affected areas. Doing so will remove excess oil or sweat and will leave your face again feeling nice and fresh.

Use a matte foundation. Using a matte foundation ensures your face looks fresh all day because it eliminates the appearance of oil and shine from your face – that’s important when you’re perspiring in the summer heat.

Also, using a foundation with SPF (sun protection factor) has the added bonus of shielding you from solar ravages.

Set your face with powder. Whenever you use liquid

Finish with a setting spray. Once your makeup’s completely done, set your face with a setting spray, which will seal all of the products you just put on your face. Setting sprays keep your liquids and powders in place all day long.

In short, don’t be afraid to wear full makeup during the summer. As long as you follow the preceding steps, you’ll look and feel great all day long!

The concepts at the forefront of this movement, however, are nothing new: If anything, it’s a return to basics, to a simpler time when quality was king. So yeah, maybe these are your grandfather’s jeans. And that’s OK. The idea behind raw denim has been around for many years. Matt Belz and Tim Hughes, St. Louis natives and founders, owners and designers at Loyal Collective Denim, define it as denim that has been dyed but hasn’t been treated, softened, prewashed or preshrunk.

Alternatively, your favorite store for jeans typically has a variety of different washes or finishes, such as stonewashed, sandblasted, bleached or, as many of us might fondly (or ruefully) recall, acid-washed. Although these washes can look cool, the treated areas create huge swaths of weakness in the fabric, and unless your proportions are specifically fitted to the standard manufacturer sizes, the whiskering and fading don’t always hit your body at the intended spots.

Raw denim, meanwhile, goes straight from loom to bolt to sewing machines, maintaining its original structural integrity and uniform color until the wearer puts it on and creates a custom fit and unique fading patterns.

“It’s broken in to you – where you keep things in your pockets, how you wear them – it becomes your own finish,” Belz explains.

As you might anticipate, raw denim initially wears a little stiff.

“You’ll get a more custom fit over time – the first few wears, it’s a little rough and stiff,” Hughes says. “For a lot of people who don’t know about raw denim, it’s kind of a turnoff, actually.” But after three or four wears, the jeans soften up and achieve a fit that breaks in and conforms to your body shape and size.

Best friends since childhood, Hughes and Belz grew up in St. Charles, where they met in sixth grade playing basketball under coach Johnny Cage, the namesake of their first product, The Johnny, a tailored cut available in chino twill and raw denim. Along with a group of guy friends, the pair moved to Los Angeles, where Belz was the assistant to Michael Ball, founder of designer-jeans company Rock & Republic. “We probably wouldn’t have gotten here if it weren’t for that,” Belz says.

“He was definitely able to shorten the learning curve,” Hughes agrees.

One by one, the LA group began moving back home to be closer to family, and now back in St. Louis, Hughes and Belz began exploring some of their entrepreneurial ideas, landing on raw denim about four years ago.

“We started learning how to make patterns, finding people to make samples for us,” Belz says.

Although many other designers provide input on color or fabric, they don’t typically get hands-on with their products, but Belz and Hughes wanted to set their brand apart from the get-go. After a humorously disastrous attempt as the only two men on the roster of a community-college sewing class, they turned to other sources, eventually publishing an ad on Craigslist to find someone who could help them make denim patterns and sew up samples.

“A little hippie lady saved our lives,” Belz says. The lady in question, who has since recently passed away, became the namesake for Loyal Collective’s first women’s jeans and second product in its portfolio, The Sharon, which launches this fall.

After a lot of trial and error – one instance was particularly stinging, where the company’s first 436-pair run of jeans arrived from the San Francisco manufacturer with obvious defects the perfectionist pair couldn’t ignore – The Johnny landed in the fall of 2015.

This small-batch, one-product-at-a-time mentality is rare, and it’s now an earmark of the Loyal Collective brand, which sells the jeans at its online store. The decision to go into production with one item at a time allowed Hughes and Belz to focus on the individual product to ensure it was truly what they wanted it to be before moving on to the next item, The Weekender, a more-relaxed men’s cut. Styling tips and product launch info can be found at the Loyal Collective Facebook and Instagram pages (@loyalcollective).

Eventually, Belz and Hughes would love Loyal Collective to be a full-scale line – men’s and women’s accessories, outerwear, the works. But they are “completely bootstrap-funded,” as Hughes describes it, and are allowing the brand to evolve responsibly and naturally. Each phase of production for Loyal Collective is made in America – down to installing the hardware and hand-branded leather patch that affixes the company’s logo to every pair of jeans.

There is a timeless, old-school Americana embodied in Loyal Collective’s ideals. “We’re not going to chase trends to stay cool,” Belz says. “We’re going to make what we think are the classics, and keep rolling with it.”

‌T

he St. Louis Blues have announced that coach Ken Hitchcock is coming back for another season. Since Hitchcock took over, the Blues are the winningest team in hockey. Hitchcock just took the team to the conference finals for the first time in 15 years, and most importantly, Hitchcock is one of hockey’s greatest minds, who will finish third in all-time wins.

Hitchcock claims this will be his last season, and St. Louis has an incredible track record of coaches winning world championships and then retiring – like Dick Vermeil finishing the 1999 St. Louis Rams’ season with their first-ever Super Bowl victory and Tony La Russa leaving the St. Louis Cardinals after their 11th World Series title. Can Hitch follow those incredible endings?

The Blues came so close this season. Next year, they just need a little nip and tuck. To use the La Russa vernacular, “They will take their best shot.”

Five Thoughts:

1

Did you hear the Rams are talking about a contract extension for Jeff Fisher, who

By Frank Cusumano

hasn’t had a winning season since George W. Bush was in the White House? He has coached 21 years and has had six winning seasons. He deserves an extension – and a raise. What is Stan smoking? Well, he does live in Colorado.

2

Speaking of marijuana, I have done several interviews with former NFL players who are living with the effects of countless concussions. One of them, Kyle Turley, a former St. Louis Ram, told me that marijuana has dramatically improved the quality of his life. I am not a fan of making the drug legal. However, if it helps these players who wake up every day of their lives with headaches and battle depression, I say give them the drug. The pain that some of them go through – and it starts at a young age – is so sad.

3

I think Cardinals fans have to look at the 2016 season like this: There will be no catching the Cubs. You have to finish in the top two of this group: Nationals or Mets, Giants or Dodgers and the Pirates.

They can do that. If a few of these starting pitchers get smoking-hot in October, they can beat anybody.

Simplify Your Life

4

Things I can never get enough of: the chocolatechip recipe from The New York Times, a Lion’s Choice roast beef sandwich, Netflix, the service from a Bommarito dealership, my German shepherds and John Feinstein books.

5

A great deal of people have been asking me what they’ll do without football in the fall. Well, we have high schools on Friday and Mizzou on Saturday. And it’s not like we can’t watch the NFL. The commissioner may have little integrity, and the Rams have none, but the league’s still great. What’s better than the RedZone on a Sunday afternoon? Also, hopefully, the Cardinals will be playing in October, and the Blues will be back in the fall. Our town will be just fine. In fact, it may end up being even better than before.

Adolescent Immunizations

L

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

ast month I talked about the importance of immunizing your children, a process many parents refer to as “baby shots.” And although most immunizations involve children prior to their entry into school, adolescents also critically need several immunizations – but when should they be administered?

Every child and adolescent, as well as every adult, should receive an annual flu vaccine. This should be given in the fall, ideally between August and October, although vaccination can take place anytime during the flu season through January. Talk to your doctor about whether you and your children (especially those with chronic illnesses, who are more susceptible to influenza) should receive the flu shot or nasal-spray vaccine.

Babies and young children receive a series of vaccines to prevent diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough, the last nowadays called pertussis by many medical professionals. Because the protection from this vaccine (DTaP – an acronym for those three diseases) wears off, though, a booster should be given at 11 or 12 years of age.

Adolescents are particularly prone to injuries, making the tetanus booster critical. In addition, they and young adults often serve as caretakers for babies under the age of 6 months, who are most susceptible to whooping cough. Vaccinating the caretakers thus helps prevent illness in the babies.

Meningococcal disease can be lifethreatening. Even with aggressive treatment, about 15 percent of people who get meningococcal illnesses, sepsis and meningitis, will die. A vaccine is therefore recommended at age 11 or 12 with a booster at age 16 – certainly after graduating from high school and before entering college, the military or the workforce.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine prevents cancers caused by HPV. It’s recommended for all preteens, again, at age 11 or 12. HPV infects about 14 million people yearly, and infection can cause gynecologic cancers in women and penile cancers in men, as well as other cancers of the head and neck. These cancers can be prevented, but use of this vaccine remains unfortunately low. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Missouri Department of Health both promote use of this valuable vaccine, so please consult your adolescent’s doctor about it.

Because the protection from this vaccine (DTaP – an acronym for those three diseases) wears off, though, a booster should be given at 11 or 12 years of age.

A local organization gives those in addiction recovery the chance to take their next step forward.

40 July 1, 2016 | LadueNews.com

Pictured above are some of The Next Step’s scholarship recipients.

S

heila* was raised in a stable, loving, middle-class family. That didn’t stop her from experimenting with alcohol at age 12 and developing an addiction. “Alcohol made me feel like the world around me was wonderful and that I was beautiful, confident and cool,” she says. “From that moment on, I drank as much as I could.”

When her parents discovered her drinking a couple of years later, they sent Sheila to a counselor and eventually to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Sheila didn’t buy into the AA method, however, continuing to drink, even if that meant consuming mouthwash that contained alcohol once her parents had otherwise cleared the house of alcohol.

That dangerous habit, compounded by drinking rubbing alcohol when the mouthwash ran out, landed Sheila in the hospital. “That was my bottom,” she says now. “It was the last time I drank, and my sobriety date is Jan. 6, 2007.”

Sheila graduated from high school and was accepted to Saint Louis University, but an unplanned pregnancy before graduation led to her enrollment at St. Louis Community College-Meramec instead, where the cost of tuition is lower. “You can imagine the stress of being a 19-year-old with two years sober and an infant trying to stay in school full time and work part time,” she says. That’s where The Next Step St. Louis came in.

Founded in 2005 by several individuals in recovery, The Next Step provides scholarships to help pay tuition to colleges or vocational programs for metro St. Louis residents active in 12-step recovery programs. Scholarship recipients must have a minimum of six consecutive months clean and sober, participate in service or volunteer work, be employed and demonstrate financial need.

“We estimate that we have assisted over 275 individuals and awarded over $550,000 in funding since 2005,” says Darcy Glidewell, president of The Next Step board of directors. “For the 2015-to-2016 school year, we awarded over $120,000 to 50 individuals.”

The organization’s annual scholarships average about $2,500, which is paid directly to the educational institution for use during one or two semesters.

When Sheila heard about The Next Step from some other individuals in recovery, she jumped at the opportunity. “I applied in 2009,” she says. “I met with The Next Step and had my interview and was amazed at the generosity and kindness of the individuals I met – how they were freely giving their time and money to people in recovery like me that they hardly knew.”

With her scholarship, Sheila paid for part of her tuition, which helped alleviate a heavy student-loan burden. “As I was a young, single mom, this was a huge relief and support,” she says. “I can’t say I wouldn’t have stayed in school without The Next Step, but I definitely had less financial burden because of it. And in return, I was able to concentrate on my recovery, taking care of my son and my education.”

Glidewell notes that there are many success stories among The Next Step’s scholarship recipients. After completing their education, they have gone on to pursue successful careers in business, education, fine arts and the medical or mental health field.

Sheila eventually transferred from St. Louis Community CollegeMeramec to Fontbonne University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in human services. “ever since I got sober, I knew I wanted to help others like me,” she says. “With the help of The Next Step, I was even able to go on and get my master’s degree in social work. This allowed me to fully pursue the career path that I had been inspired to do through my treatment and recovery.”

Sheila now works at a mental health agency and is working toward full licensure as a clinical social worker.

“We help them pursue their passion in life through a completed education,” Glidewell says. “Our recipients cover a wide age range – not just 20-somethings – a fact that we are very proud of. They have been successful in earning specialized certifications and associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees at various colleges, universities and technical schools in the greater St. Louis area.” All scholarship recipients also are required to participate in service work within the recovery community.

“We’re an all-volunteer board, and over 90 percent of our funds raised, primarily through gifts from donors and small grants, go directly to pay for scholarships,” Glidewell says, adding that the organization welcomes new volunteers to work on the board or various committees. to help raise funds, The Next Step will be hosting an annual scholarship dinner on Oct. 1 at the Missouri Athletic Club’s downtown location. “It’s an inspirational evening where we highlight our current and past recipients and they share their success stories,” Glidewell says. *Sheila is an alias created to protect the source’s identity.

Dinner ...

W

e might be smack-dab in the middle of the Midwest, but St. Louis definitely ranks as a taco town. From food trucks to authentic taquerias, old-school bites to creative custom creations, no shortage of quality tacos exists here. I thought I was in tune to all of our taco places, but not long ago, someone clued me in to Club Taco, which had somehow escaped my usually keen radar.

Club Taco offers a pretty wide-ranging selection of tacos, all categorized by ingredients (beef, poultry, seafood, pork, vegetarian), as well as several breakfast versions featuring fresh free-range eggs from

Buttonwood Farm. Style-wise, more specifically, its tacos range from the traditional to the unexpected, so we sampled a few of each. First, from the nontraditional camp, we tried the Deep South ($5) and the Mama’s Meatloaf ($4). The Deep South was basically Sunday dinner wrapped in a tortilla. It was filled to bursting with Southern fried-chicken chunks and mashed potatoes, seasoned with a sweet-corn relish, cilantro and a spicy pepper sauce. Definitely one of those dishes that on paper raises suspicion as to just how it’s going to work, but once tasted, makes perfect sense. Same held true for the Mama’s Meatloaf. Bacon-wrapped meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy in a corn tortilla? Oh, yes.

On the more traditional side, we started with

By Matt Sorrell the Lake of the Ozarks ($5). It was reminiscent of a traditional fish taco (in this case, it used Atlantic cod), with avocado, cilantro, lime and a flavorful cumin crema. Then it was on to the Who You Call’n Shrimp ($5) and the traditional carnitas ($4). The shrimp were breaded with panko, then wrapped in a flour tortilla with some pepitas for crunch, margarita slaw (which also made an appearance in the Lake of the Ozarks taco) and avocado. The carnitas taco was modeled after traditional Mexican street food – tender shredded pork with savory caramelized onions, carrots, cilantro and lime. Simple and straightforward, it gave many of the ones I’ve tasted elsewhere around town a run for their money.

On the side, we had the borracho beans ($2) and the roasted street-corn casserole ($2). The black beans were cooked in a local stout for added flavor and served with fresh radish and cilantro, as well as the cumin crema used in the Lake of the Ozarks taco. The casserole was another of those super simple dishes that’s much more than the sum of its parts – just sweet roasted corn, lime crema, cayenne and queso fresco, but oh, so tasty.

We washed down all of this goodness with a frosty can of Urban Chestnut Zwickel ($7). Not in the mood for a brew? The restaurant also offers a selection of sangrias, margaritas and other cocktails.

Club Taco occupies Kirkwood’s bustling downtown, so street parking can be tight. Despite the presence of several public lots, visitors to the restaurant may have to walk a bit.

‌Story: Brian Howard and Rebecca Steinberg are about to celebrate their wedding at a New York City hotel. It appears, though, that they have little say in the matter because Rebecca’s abrasive mother, Judy, is making sure the ceremony goes to her liking.

While a fastidious wedding planner oversees even the tiniest and unlikeliest of details, Brian gets an awkward lesson in bonding from his stiff father, George, while his mother, Georgette, keeps herself lubricated with whatever alcohol is available.

The best man tries to do too much, while the co-maid of honor seems a little too obtrusive. Judy’s husband, Murray, appears as relaxed as anyone, shrugging his shoulders at Judy’s antics. Everyone is startled when Rebecca’s former boyfriend arrives uninvited, desperate to talk with the bride-to-be.

That’s far from the biggest surprise, however, on this wacky wedding day.

Highlights: Stages St. Louis has begun its 30th-anniversary season with a spirited rendition of this madcap musical, which is making its first post-Broadway appearance in the country on the stage at the Robert G. Reim Theatre. Director Stephen Bourneuf keeps the comedy and enchanting choreography moving at a pleasing pace that gets Stages’ new season off to a buoyant start.

Other Info: Written by Brian Hargrove from a concept by Barbara Anselmi, It Shoulda Been You features a number of charming, memorable numbers with lyrics by Hargrove to the music composed by Anselmi.

Veteran Stages performers Zoe Vonder Haar and Kari Ely anchor the presentation with a pair of delicious portrayals of the mothers-in-law.

Vonder Haar takes command of Judy’s bullish personality, delivering her abundant comic lines

with verve and vigor seasoned with a liberal dose of spit and vinegar.

Ely, meanwhile, has a great deal of fun as the perpetually intoxicated Georgette, fantasizing about the kind of man she might have preferred her son to be in her own disturbing Freudian manner. She carries off that difficult assignment successfully for the most part, primarily because Georgette appears to suffer from a shortage of gray matter.

David Schmittou plays a role different from those he normally assumes in Stages productions, and he rewards the audience with a sharp, insightful portrayal of money-oriented George.

Michael Marotta shines in his consistently amusing portrayal of Murray, Judy’s long-suffering but loving husband. He has a number of funny lines and delivers all of them in carefully modulated tones for maximum comic effect.

Claire Manship serves as the focus of the production with a winning interpretation of Rebecca’s older sister, Jenny. Manship gets the show off to a spirited start with the opening number, “I Never Wanted This,” which demonstrates the script’s impish heart and hints at what’s to follow.

It Shoulda Been You is predictable in spots, surprising in others, but mostly an evening of entertainment. If asked later whether you enjoy the production, you’re likely to say, “I do.”

ART and

“I

realized a few years ago that my palette reflects the countryside – the fields and stones – where I wandered as a child,” Webster Groves resident Suzy Farren reflects. “I grew up in a stone house that was built in 1749! Throughout my entire career, I was oblivious to the fact that memory of the land and the stones was buried deep within. It emerges through my art.”

Farren toiled all her life as a writer, ultimately retiring from the position of vice president of corporate communications at SSM Health. Since then, she’s devoted herself to her art, taking part in “more than 30 shows from Missouri and Illinois to California and Texas,” she relates. Moreover, Farren just contributed two pieces to the “Words + Text + Numbers” exhibition newly concluded at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild Clayton gallery, and she’s even now planning an autumn solo

show at the Ethical Society of Saint Louis.

Her opening self-assessment seems multiply apt, as the accompanying 2015 work, Meditation on Mortality, suggests. Farren creates in fiber art – a form reportedly booming of late locally – and Meditation incorporates what she amusingly characterizes as her “intuitive” technique (“meaning that I sort of put my brain on hold as I create”).

“I found myself hand-stitching ‘found’ fabric scraps to strips of canvas that I had stained with various inks and paints,” she says of Meditation, which measures 21½ by 26 inches. “I usually write words on my pieces, but they are intentionally indecipherable to the viewer. I guess because I was a writer for so long, I just have to have those words.

“As I worked on this piece, I thought about the past,

my own aging and what lies ahead – hence the title.”

In consequence, the work looks the way quotidian memory feels to anyone not blessed or cursed with hyperthymesia, a phrase made for Googling. At once blotchy and bold, delightful and disquieting, Meditation, in all its rough-hewed, sprawling glory, suggests a map larger than the terrain it represents – rather like the grand collage of neurons and glia nestled in everyone’s cranium.

2 FOCUS Part

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 FOStERIng REgIOnal COOpERatIOn category.

LadueNews.com | July 1, 2016 49 LadueNews.com | july 1, 2016 49

B

ased on D.C. doings of the past decade or two, a hypothetical extraterrestrial using some sort of science-fictional thingamajig to study the U.S. might conclude we as a nation have no notion of cooperation.

In that regard, E.T. should phone FOCUS St. Louis (“the region’s premier leadership organization,” according to its website) for reassurance that Americans still do exhibit that fundamental virtue, as well as many others.

In midwinter, for the 19th year running, the organization honored a quintet of quartets in the categories of Demonstrating Innovative Solutions, Fostering Regional Cooperation, Improving Racial Equality and Social Justice, Promoting Stronger Communities and Responding to Community Needs and Entrepreneurs.

Last week, Ladue News spotlighted the four honorees in the Demonstrating Innovative Solutions category. The present profile (the second of a fivepart series continuing almost to the end of July) showcases the Fostering Regional Cooperation category and its honorees: Construction Forum STL, EducationPlus, Flood Disaster Response Collaboration and St. Louis Family & Community Partnership.

By way of an introduction to FOCUS St. Louis’

annual process, Becky Rasmussen, the organization’s director of marketing and communications, sketches the baseline rigors of nomination.

“Each year, we invite the St. Louis community to nominate individuals, organizations or initiatives that they see making a positive difference in our region,” Rasmussen relates. “This year, our nomination period ran from the beginning of December 2015 through the first week of February 2016, a little over two months.”

The organization’s media partners (Fox 2Now/ KPLR11, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and St. Louis Public Radio) promoted nomination, as did its own “channels” – new-millennium-speak for digital dispersants like its website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and emails to FOCUS St. Louis’ network of 8,000-plus alumni and community leaders.

“To submit a nomination, an individual just had to complete a form on our website, which included some basic info on the nominee, as well as explanations of why they thought the nominee was deserving, [its] impact in the community, outcomes, partnerships, etc.,” Rasmussen says. Across all five categories, she concludes, that process yielded 110 nominations for 2016.

Honorees in the Fostering Regional Cooperation category have “brought entities together to create a new synergy and improve efficiency and

effectiveness,” Rasmussen says.

Synergy. Efficiency. Effectiveness. Nowadays many folks – too many – talk a great deal about such virtues. The following four entities, FOCUS St. Louis maintains, choose not just to talk the talk but to walk the walk: Construction Forum STL (constructforstl.org) “Construction Forum STL was created to be a ‘room without walls,’” its nomination relates, using a nifty metaphor in context, “where the entire [construction] industry could participate in building relationships and working on issues such as workforce inclusion/ diversity, regionalism and collaboration.”

Incorporated just three years ago as a Missouri not-for-profit and currently applying for 501(c)4 status – loosely, a social-welfare organization under that section of the Internal Revenue Code – “the organization has held a number of free networking and educational events drawing more than 3,000 [attendees] and reaches even more through its website and publications,” that nomination continues.

Construction Forum STL, the nomination says, also has “launched an Education Foundation to help attract and prepare the next generation of leaders and professionals in the construction industry.”

EducationPlus (edplus.org) Each day, area adults

witness the future – often boarding big yellow rattletraps and toting knapsacks less likely to hold homework-related antiques like textbooks than digital tablets.

Schoolchildren – tomorrow, today. Their existence and the hope they pose make all the more important the second honoree in the Fostering Regional Cooperation category.

“EducationPlus is a nonprofit educational service agency that brings area school districts together to share resources, information and ideas through nationally recognized services in educational technology, cooperative purchasing, staff development and more,” its nomination says.

Ongoing crises in regional schools throughout the past decade have made the efforts of the agency (founded in 1928 as the Cooperating School Districts) all the more integral, the nomination adds. “Since 2013,” it states, “EducationPlus employees have spent countless hours coordinating the court-mandated transfer of 2,000 students from unaccredited districts, as well as working collaboratively to help the Normandy and Riverview Gardens school districts regain accreditation.”

Flood Disaster Response Collaboration So – how did your New Year’s go? If it involved rushing

water more than sparkling wine, you might well have encountered members of this group, which is overseen by Catholic Charities of Saint Louis, the group’s nomination states. Following the regionwide flooding last December, seven Multi-Agency Resource Centers across three counties served nearly 800 waterlogged households.

Those centers, the nomination adds, “brought together nonprofits, faith-based organizations, government agencies and businesses to provide one-stop shops for those impacted to obtain both the short- and long-term services they needed.”

Involved were more than 60 organizations, among them Adventist Community Services Disaster Response, the American Red Cross, AmeriCorps St. Louis, Catholic Charities of St. Louis/Saint Francis Community Services, Lutheran Family and Children’s Services of Missouri, The Salvation Army, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and United Way of Greater Saint Louis.

St. Louis Family & Community Partnership (visionforchildren.org/initiatives/st-louis-familycommunity-partnership) Children always have led lives fraught with peril – whether from going hungry to being bullied to much, much worse – but these days, peril seemingly has multiplied in a manifold fashion.

As a result, this coalition of nearly 200 individuals and organizations founded 11 years ago has been “working to prevent child abuse and neglect and improve child-welfare policy and practice,” its nomination states. The coalition, that nomination continues, “brings together child-serving agencies, schools, government, police, courts, funders, neighborhood organizations, parents, the Missouri Children’s Division and more to better serve children who have been affected by or are at risk of abuse and neglect.”

Cooperation – what a concept! Perhaps the fine folks on Pennsylvania Avenue and Capitol Hill could learn a thing or two from the St. Louis region.

Two months ago at The Sheldon Concert Hall, FOCUS St. Louis celebrated the four honorees profiled here, the other 16 honorees and Dr. Jason Q. Purnell of Washington University in St. Louis – its 2016 Leadership Award recipient – in a ticketed What’s Right With the Region! awards ceremony. All proceeds from that gala (according to a release) will “support the work of FOCUS St. Louis in developing leadership and building strong civic capacity.”
