What was your main aspiration at the age of 16 (see p. 57)? SARAH CONARD My goal in life was to work for Life. Sadly, that magazine ceased publication well before I ever got the chance, but I like to think my 16-year-old self would be proud of how my photography career turned out.

BRYAN A. HOLLERBACH I wanted to draw comic books. No, seriously. Unfortunately, I push a pencil the way a turtle runs a sprint, so instead I landed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly plastron down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the writing-and-editing racket.

BRITTANY NAY From working on the school newspaper at age 16 to my 10-year journalism career, I always wanted to be a writer!

EDITOR ‌THIS WEEKEND, MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO GIVE GOOD old-fashioned camping a try. So we packed all the necessities, loaded our two dogs into the Jeep, and before we knew it, we were on our way to Sam E. Baker State Park. In almost no time we had set up our tent, started a campfire and were enjoying the lack of cell service, the light breeze and the great outdoors. The next morning, though, was a different story. Just one night’s sleep on nothing but a sleeping bag left my husband proclaiming, “We are never going camping in a tent again.” I chuckled, thinking it wasn’t that bad, and then also smiled, recalling the feature story in this week’s Style section. On p. 44, LN contributing writer Julia Cain shares the story of creative maker Shelah McClymont. McClymont has created a new product line called Faire Acres with the tagline “Quality Goods for Unhappy Campers” – certainly something the hubs and other fans of the great indoors can get behind. McClymont’s quirky products, inspired by a vintage camping aesthetic and her disdain for the outdoors, are playful and creative. Another inspiring story of entrepreneurship can be found in this week’s feature in The Daily, where LN contributing writer Brittany Nay shares the powerful story of Nidhi Bhaskar, a local teen trying to make the world a better place. We hope Bhaskar’s story, on p. 57, will inspire you to make a change for the better in the world – whether inside or out. All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Editor’s Corner The word around town

Also in the July 1 edition, on p. 12, JDRF chief executive officer Derek Rapp was misquoted. Rapp’s quote should have read: “The best thing about my work is knowing that it means so much to so many people who, like me, have loved ones with Type 1 diabetes. The mission of this organization is compelling, and we’re doing incredible work to advance research to make a fantastic difference for people living with this disease.” We apologize for these unfortunate errors.

We’re Sorry: In the July 1 edition, on p. 16, a photo incorrectly identified attendees of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis Lion of Judah Donor Appreciation Event. The correct caption is as follows: Pictured from left to right are Leslie Litwack, Sheila Greenbaum, Nancy Siwak, Galia Movitz, Terry Bloomberg, Jane Roodman Weiss and Sherri Frank Weintrop. At the event, Movitz was honored with the 2016 Kipnis-Wilson/Friedland Award, which recognizes women who exemplify the spirit of the Lion of Judah by commitment to the Jewish community through leadership and philanthropic giving. She is shown with past Kipnis winners.

ST. LUKE’S HOSPITAL

the

FUTURE By Robyn B Rob Dexter D

t. Luke’s Hospital is celebrating its sesquicentennial in 2016. For 150 years, the hospital has been providing exceptional care to the greater St. Louis community. In February 1866, the 25-bed infirmary admitted its first patient. The organization consisted of eight medical staffers and family and friends who provided nursing care. President and CEO Christine Candio says, looking back 150 years, it’s incredible to see how far the hospital has come. “We are an

Imagining CeleBRating the Past,

This year, St. Luke’s honors its history while looking to the future, continuing to grow as the next generation of physicians joins the hospital’s medical staff and construction progresses on the 106,000-square-foot outpatient center, which is scheduled to open early next year. Photo to the right by sarah Conard. Christine M. Candio, president and CeO of st. luke’s hospital (center) with st. luke’s physicians (left to right) erica Yalavarthi, MD, primary care; sequita Morris, MD, primary care; Jeremy leidenfrost, MD, cardiothoracic surgery; and amit Bhatt, MD, radiation oncology.

independent community hospital with 493 beds,” she says. “We’re a true system of care, with our hospital and 25 other locations throughout our community serving patients. That speaks volumes for our organization.” Earlier this year, St. Luke’s announced a new affiliation with renowned Cleveland Clinic Heart & Vascular Institute for cardiac care that will steer patients, research and the latest technology to the local hospital. Candio says this unique and regionally exclusive affiliation will benefit everyone, most importantly the patients. “[Our patients will] have tremendous access to treatments, clinical trials, second opinions and more,” she says. “[This affiliation] helps our cardiac experts excel at what they do.” Also unique among St. Luke’s ministry of services is its Pediatric Care Center in north St. Louis County. It provides medical care in a private practice setting to underserved and uninsured children. “As part of our mission, we also consistently provide millions of dollars in charity care each year,” adds Candio. Candio says she’s also proud of the hospital’s national recognition for quality outcomes throughout the organization, noting that St. Luke’s consistently ranks high in clinical excellence and patient satisfaction. “That doesn’t happen by accident,” she says. “It happens through the hard work of our entire team of physicians and staff.” St. Luke’s is always working to improve, Candio says, and its staff members never rest on their laurels.“We need to keep an ear to the ground and an eye to the future to ensure the success of our organization to benefit our patients,” she says. Last year, St. Luke’s launched the building of a new outpatient center on its west campus. This 106,000-squarefoot building will house expanded outpatient services and additional physician offices and is slated to open early next year. In addition, the hospital recently added its eighth urgent care center in Chesterfield Valley. In celebration of its 150-year anniversary, St. Luke’s will host its Imagine Gala on Saturday, Sept. 17, at St. Louis Union Station. The event invites guests to celebrate the past and imagine the future with a magical evening of dining and entertainment. To learn more, visit stlukes-stl.com. 232 S.

uests recently attended the eighth annual ACCESS (which means “Academies Creating Challenging Education for St. Louis Students”) Academies Scholarship Dinner, sponsored by The Vatterott Foundation, at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. The theme for the evening was “Plant Roots Grow Brilliance.” Since 2005, 600 disadvantaged youth have received a top-quality, values-based education thanks to ACCESS Academies’ unique model of education. The organization makes a seven-year commitment to each student, beginning in middle school, to support a robust academic curriculum, homework assistance, service projects and enrichment. It also supports mandatory summer school and provides a schoolbased Graduate Support Director, who works directly with each student and the student’s family, from middle school through high school and into college. Julie Linder and Tom Mackowiak

I felt there was a real need for good education for inner-city children that had a faith base. Kids need an anchor in life and a belief in a higher power for strength when difficult times arise. We see it is working for children from sixth through 12 grades. JOHN VATTEROTT, FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF ACCESS ACADEMIES

This vibrant celebration of giving took place at The Chase Park Plaza in the grand Empire Room. Co-chairing the event were Susan Block and Joni Karandjeff. The board’s president, Gwen Wesley, and many other notable women from a range of educational, professional, geographic and religious backgrounds had a chance to attend. Attendees likewise had a chance to taste delicious desserts and freshly made pastas there. In the past, the organization has provided more than $1.8 million in grants to more than 70 agencies. The collective giving and grantmaking network believes that everyone gives the same, and everyone has the same vote. It was founded on the principle that when people come together, they can do more.

Gardening on the Edge – Unexpectedly Hardy Bulbs

‌D

30 July 15, 2016 | LadueNews.com

Eucomis ‘Leia’

Madonna ‘Lily’

‘Carolina Primrose’

‘Carolina Primrose’ gladiolus. Gladiolus nana – dwarf hardy glads. Hippeastrum Sonatini series – ‘Pink Rascal’ and ‘Balentino’ red hardy amaryllis. Hymenocallis occidentalis – white spider lily (native to the Bootheel). Lilium candidum – white Madonna lily.

‘Pink Rascal’

The trick involves knowing your locations. Fickle microclimates make a difference. A walled courtyard differs from an open border, for instance, and a plant may winter in the Central West End, but not in Ladue. Try leaving some of your tender bulbs in the ground; give them a good, extra-thick coat of mulch for the winter; and see if you have any “new perennials” next spring.

edicated gardeners lift and store their favorite tender bulbs from year to year. One local gardener has shared tender tuberoses from her surplus with one of this column’s writers. Although they’re enjoyable, it’s tiring to lift, clean and pack them each fall, only to replant in the spring. With more space than time in the country garden, it makes greater sense to find charming garden bulbs that give the same sense of exoticism, but require less maintenance than the moretraditional choices we’re accustomed to using. While observing plants over the years, we’ve seen some surprising winter-hardiness results. Many bulbs and corms that previously were one-season wonders are actually surviving our now-milder winters. Some gladiolas, dahlias, cannas and even amaryllis can overwinter and return the next year. One of this column’s writers has been weeding cannas that are coming back from roots left from last year. The secret to their hardiness may be that they were tilled under last fall and buried deep for the winter. One co-writer’s dahlias, though, were so close to the surface that she accidentally pulled them while weeding this spring; happily, she replanted them, and now they’re blooming profusely. The key to keeping marginally hardy plants going in our ever-shifting planting zone involves placing them in the right conditions. Choose your warmest microclimates; south-facing slopes or walls are best. Slopes also offer well-draining soil, while walls retain heat and give some protection from drying winter winds. Plant them at the maximum recommended depth, and add an extra-generous layer of mulch before winter. What once was tender may become perennial. Don’t count on everything surviving every year, though. Every 10 or 15 years, we may experience a truly harsh cold or wet winter, and some will be lost. If you have a favorite tender treasure, it never hurts to keep a backup start in cold storage until spring. Calla lilies (Zantedeschia), popular for florist bouquets and weddings, are not recorded as wintering here. But two species, Z. aethiopica and Z. pentlandii, have proven reliable with heavy mulch. Because those two species are listed as hardy to Zones 6B and 7, certain references would deter one from ever trying them. One co-writer bought such a lily several years ago from a garden center’s super sale. She planted it in the ground to enjoy for the summer, but it surprised her by wintering well and now has become a clump over a foot in diameter that blooms profusely. Similarly, several callas in the bulb borders at the Missouri Botanical Garden have remained outside for years. Bulbs on the edge of winter hardiness in St. Louis include the following: Amaryllis x johnsonii – St. Joseph’s lily. Eucomis ‘Leia’ and ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ – pineapple lilies. Gladiolus dalenii var. primulinus –

St. Louis-based Sasha Nicholas dinnerware makes heirloom dinnerware for the modern era.

f you’re lucky enough to own an heirloom – whether jewelry, fine china, furniture or a trinket that carries sentimental value – you understand the intrinsic, priceless worth of a quality item that has stood the test of time. Of all the things we amass in our lifetimes, these pieces often retain the most meaning, whispers and reminders of loved ones and of generations past. For tabletops and china cabinets, Cynthia Nouri, founder and owner of St. Louisbased Sasha Nicholas dinnerware, has found that what people truly seek is simplicity, elegance, versatility and meaning. Sasha Nicholas has made waves since launching dinnerware and gifts in April 2015. A national business article recently categorized it as a “wedding crasher,” one of several companies disrupting the wedding industry by changing how couples stage their nuptials. Also, national magazines and pages of books on fine dinnerware and monograms give Sasha Nicholas much more than just a cursory nod, and style trendsetter Carolyne Roehm, the author of A Passion for Blue and White, is even a fan. Roehm’s enthusiasm for the products led to her purchasing two sets of Sasha Nicholas dishes with a blue monogram for her own home. The idea behind Sasha Nicholas is offering luxury at an affordable price – high-quality European porcelain dinnerware that can be used every day, adorned with custom designs such as monograms or crests, created by Nouri in collaboration with in-house designer Regi Alonso and further personalized with an optional inscription on the back. Plus, Sasha Nicholas monogram embellishments comply with the highest safety standard in decoration: Each piece is hand-decorated and kiln-fired in St. Louis. Nouri, a former St. Louis-area dentist, has long had an eye for design, which she defines as “art that is useful.” In college, during a yearlong study abroad at Oxford University in England, Nouri took the opportunity to tour factories of well-respected fine dinnerware companies such as Wedgwood and Burleigh. Throughout the next several decades, as she completed dental school and built her practice, tucked in the back of her mind was her quest to turn this affinity for heirloom-quality dinnerware into “useful art.” Through the years, Nouri experimented with different materials such as stoneware and porcelain, but ultimately, her experience in a calligraphy class began to steer her in the design direction. “I realized that while I like the making of the dishes, what I really loved is designing what goes on the plates,” Nouri says. “Ultimately, my decision was to find the best dishes I could, then create the designs to go on those dishes.” Nouri decided to close her dental practice in 2014 to establish Sasha Nicholas, naming it after her daughter, Sasha, and son, Nick. As the base of her designs, Nouri chose white porcelain, the “little black dress” of dinnerware – timeless and versatile. As it’s one of the main materials used in dental crowns, bridges and veneers, Nouri saw firsthand the durability and versatility of porcelain. Sasha Nicholas’ porcelain dinnerware is highly durable, oven-safe, lightweight, stackable and chip-resistant. For quality testing, Nouri did a little experimenting at home, even burning pasta sauce into the bottom of one serving dish several times in the oven to ensure it could wash clean without staining or compromising the design. Available in five colors, six fonts and two crest designs, as well as custom (with new designs coming out next year), the Sasha Nicholas Weave collection offers a more traditional dish with delicately scalloped edges and a basket-weave pattern. The Weave collection also can come with a 24-karat gold rim, hand-painted in Europe. The Imagine collection, meanwhile, has more contemporary lines with a nearly flat Scandinavian design. Customers can select an existing Sasha Nicholas font to make into a monogram, work with Nouri and Alonso to create a unique monogram design or crest, or use a

JuLy 15, 2016 | LadueNews.com

digital image of a monogram or crest of their own design. For custom monogram and crest work, Sasha Nicholas gives customers a digital version they can then use to create their own personalized stationery, upholstery, towels or napkins. Handwritten notes or a message in a script font also can be transferred to the back of select pieces. Some of Nouri’s best stories come out of these orders. For instance, a woman in Texas found a beautiful love letter her father had written to her mother, which she had inscribed on the bottom of a Sasha Nicholas platter and then gifted to her mother for Christmas. Then there were the couples who wrote messages inscribed on the bottoms of chargers or a Champagne bucket that were then used at the sweetheart table at their nuptials, displaying their new monogram as newlyweds. Nouri also has worked with a husband to gift his wife with a new personalized charger handwritten by their children each holiday that then became a unique individual memory and a way to chronicle the evolution of their children’s precious handwriting. The finished result is beautiful, meaningful dishes that can be used every day yet remain elegant enough to pair with even the finest pieces. And it’s more than just plates and bowls. Sasha Nicholas also offers serving pieces, napkin rings and the newest arrival, a European cachepot Nouri is selling as the most versatile Champagne bucket on the market – it can hold two bottles of champagne, or it can be used as an ice bucket, a base for a floral arrangement, a crock for large utensils or an oven-safe serving dish. Sasha Nicholas items can be purchased through the company website or at Ladue’s Sallie Home, St. Louis’ exclusive Sasha Nicholas retailer. Nouri encourages potential customers to not give in to the prescribed societal norms of dinnerware – quality dinnerware shouldn’t be limited to married couples, and a collection can be curated over time. Build your collection gradually, and include an inscription to make each piece carry its own special meaning – for you and for generations to come.

Makeup Lessons From Beauty Vloggers

‌A

lthough many women have a love affair with – or an addiction to – buying makeup, having abundant cosmetics differs from knowing how to use them all. Lacking formal training as a makeup artist, how can you yourself know how to contour, bake, strobe and create a fiercely winged eyeliner look? That’s where beauty video bloggers (commonly, “vloggers”) come into play. YouTube hosts a wide variety of beauty vloggers, some trained professionals, others self-taught, and I’ve always been able to find answers to my makeup questions through that website. Its vloggers collectively have millions of subscribers, all of whom have one thing in common: improving makeup skills. If you’re trying to better your own skills, follow vloggers who have skin types similar to yours because their makeup and skin care tips will better suit personalizing those tips to you. If you have dry,

fair skin, for instance, almost certainly a YouTuber somewhere will share that dermal profile. If you want to learn a particular makeup technique, moreover, search for it in YouTube. For example, to learn how to cover dark undereye circles, just type that topic in the site’s search bar to find hundreds of videos from various beauty gurus. After you’ve watched some videos, practice what you’ve learned. I wish you could just view a single video and suddenly become expert at a given technique, but realistically, that’s not how it works. So pick up your makeup brushes, and practice, practice, practice – repetition is key. The best part about makeup, of course: it washes off! If you mess up, just remove your makeup and try again. Some of the most successful YouTubers suggest practicing different makeup skills before bed. Why? Well, no one will see what you’re doing, and you’ll get better as you go. Once you’ve tried some new makeup

tricks, you can wash your face and go to sleep, and in the morning, you’ll be more experienced for the previous night’s practice. For anyone new to YouTube, I suggest checking out the following beauty channels, for some of the mostpopular beauty vloggers: Lauren Curtis: 3.5 million subscribers – blonde hair, fair skin tone, normal skin. Jaclyn Hill: 3.1 million subscribers – red hair, light skin tone, normal to dry skin. Desi Perkins: 1.8 million subscribers – brown hair, medium skin tone, combination skin. Casey Holmes: 1.1 million subscribers – brown hair, light skin tone, oily skin. So find and subscribe to a few favorite channels, and start learning new makeup techniques. Before you know it, you’ll be the makeup dab hand (to coin a phrase) wanting to start your own YouTube channel!

Creative Maker SHeLaH MCCLYMont HaS foUnd JoY in being an UnHappY CaMper.

helah McClymont seems to always have a new idea. A St. Louisan since childhood, McClymont has pursued entrepreneurial adventures across multiple facets of product and design while maintaining a fairly cohesive aesthetic – her projects read like a logical sequence, each showcasing that indescribable flair she brings along. And as of the end of June, there’s a new brand to add to that impressive list. But to understand the full scope of McClymont’s impact on the local shopping scene, one has to go back. Arguably her largest business endeavor, a carefully curated collection of handmade and independently produced goods, has been part of St. Louis in one way or another since 2009. (Readers might remember its home, accessory and gift items from Chesterfield Mall and West County Mall.) Her other projects have included screen-printing collection Destroyed by Design and a jewelry and leather line called August Abroad.

Faire Acres is inspired by a vintage-camp aesthetic and my general disdain for being outdoors. – ShelAh McclyMont

“After working seven days a week … and putting my own line of products on the back burner to focus on [the brick-and-mortar location of The Foundrie], I decided in 2016 to change direction and began developing my new product line, Faire Acres,” McClymont explains. “The new line takes the best elements from my past brands, including my leather work from August Abroad and my business knowledge from The Foundrie, to create a lifestyle brand I am excited to grow over the coming years.” Perfect for summer, Faire Acres is created for the antithesis of the typical camper and is now available online. Running under the tagline “Quality Goods for Unhappy Campers,” the brand offers tote bags, coffee mugs, throw blankets and gift items featuring humorous, vintage-camp-themed

original designs. Picture an enamel campfire mug, but make it ceramic (read: microwavable), with the inscription “The mountains are calling and I let it go straight to voicemail,” and a necklace stamped to say “the great indoors.”

“Faire Acres is inspired by a vintage-camp aesthetic and my general disdain for being outdoors,” McClymont says. “As an adult, I have found that I can handle one night of camping and even enjoy it somewhat, so long as there is plenty of beer and insect repellent. With Faire Acres, I wanted to create a brand with a sense of humor that appeals to those of us who appreciate the outdoorsy adventuring spirit from the comfort of our airconditioned living room.” Adding more to the balancing act, McClymont is not only an entrepreneur and maker, but also a wife and mother. She’s known her husband of nearly 12 years, Matt, since high school; the two have an 8-year-old daughter named Stella. “As a small-business owner and entrepreneur, it’s definitely hard to turn off the business and take time away,” says McClymont, noting that after missing too many moments with friends and family while running The Foundrie, she promised herself to not be in that overwhelming schedule again. “With Faire Acres, I am happy to be working from home and am able to carve out time to spend with my family while still growing the business.” McClymont is not suddenly a one-project kind of gal, though; her previous work lives on in a different format. “It is an exciting time to be involved in the community of makers and creatives with the ability to work together to create brands that can include a wider range of products highlighting different skill sets, and St. Louis has a wealth of talented folks who are excited to work together in so many different capacities,” says McClymont. “Small-business owners

love to connect and create new opportunities within our communities, which is how The Foundrie is continuing on once again as a pop-up shop within an amazing business in Webster Groves, KIND Soap Co.” McClymont adds that Jean Scholtes, owner of KIND Soap Co., reached out about curating a collection of local products to complement its line, and The Foundrie’s pop-up shop was born. “The Foundrie at KIND features work by over a dozen local makers including jewelry, prints, bags and other great gifts,” she says. Outside of her own projects, McClymont explains she works as a freelance visual merchandiser for other local businesses “when time allows,” but one can hardly imagine when that would be. “I truly feel lucky to be able to use so many of my skills and passions to cobble together a career I love,” she says, “and I honestly wouldn’t change a thing.” faireacres.com

weddings & Engagements

By Amanda Dahl

Andrew Winkeler & Madeline Story ‌Mr. and Mrs. William and Janet Winkeler of Des Peres are pleased to announce the engagement of their son, Andrew William, to Madeline Grace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jr. and Mary Ellen Story of Sikeston. Grandparents are the late Mr. and Mrs. Bernard and Mary Winkeler of Ballwin and the late Mr. and Mrs. Angelo and Kathryn Oliveri of Clayton. The future groom graduated in 2007 from St. Louis University High School. In 2013, he earned a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management from the University of MissouriColumbia, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He currently is assistant branch rental manager at Enterprise Holdings. The bride-to-be graduated in 2007 from Notre Dame Regional High School in Cape Girardeau. In 2011, she earned her bachelor’s degree in hospitality management from the University of Missouri-Columbia, where she was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. She currently is a travel consultant at Maritz Travel. Andrew and Madeline met on their first day of college, in 2007, at a party hosted by Andrew’s fraternity. In December 2008, the couple made their relationship official over a sushi dinner at Sake Japanese Bistro and Bar. In 2015, they spent Halloween weekend in New York City, where Andrew and Madeline meandered through Central Park. Surrounded by beautiful fall foliage, Andrew selected an idyllic spot along a bridge, which overlooked the lake, to pop the question. After she said “yes,” they celebrated their engagement at Bull & Bear Prime Steakhouse inside the Waldorf Astoria. Andrew and Madeline will wed eight years to the date after that initial sushi dinner, at the Basilica of Saint Louis, King (known as the Old Cathedral) with a reception following at the Missouri Athletic Club in downtown. The couple will honeymoon in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, at Excellence El Carmen. They plan to reside in Clayton.

INTEREST

Joe

By Paul Brown

Joe Buck is a lucky bastard – and that’s his opinion, not mine. Lucky Bastard is the title of his soon-to-be released autobiography. Buck, of course, is one of St. Louis’ favorite sons, as well as one of the most prolific, well-known and well-paid broadcasters in the nation. He’s also the offspring of our town’s most beloved broadcasting personality, the late, great Jack Buck. Buck’s career as a broadcaster rivals his dad’s and in some ways even tops it. He serves as the lead sportscaster for the Super Bowl, World Series, All-Star Game and U.S. Open. In 1994, at the age of 24, Buck became the youngest person to announce an NFL game on network TV. By that time, he already was becoming a household name in St. Louis, announcing alongside his dad at Cardinals games. There’s little doubt he enjoyed a very big break – and that’s where the lucky part of his book title comes in. Buck doesn’t sugarcoat the perception that without his dad, he probably never would have gotten a chance to shine on his own. “When I do the Super Bowl, I still feel like the same 21-year-old who is broadcasting baseball because my dad is Jack Buck,” Buck says, “and while that used to hurt to hear, it’s reality. You don’t ever outgrow that unless you become an egomaniac and a jerk.” He says he also was lucky to be in the right place at the right time when the Fox TV network was seeking announcers. Sitting at a picnic table outside Ladue’s Deer Creek Cafe on a warm, breezy day, I inquire naively about the second part of the book’s title – bastard. “Is ‘bastard’ just a colloquialism?” I ask. “No,” says Buck. “There’s a practical part of that as well. I was the product of my dad’s love for my mom and vice versa, at a time when he wasn’t an available man – let’s put it that way.” Buck was born in 1969 – the same year his dad divorced his first wife, Alyce, and almost immediately married his mom, Carole. In the current Kardashian era, news of the elder Buck’s indiscretion would be common knowledge in a matter of days, but back then, it was kept quiet. Today, the younger Buck isn’t shying away from the story, which until now was known by only a few outside of the family. “As a kid dealing with half-brothers and half-sisters, I didn’t understand the impact, the power of where I came from and what that meant to them and how that was hurtful to them,” Buck says gingerly, “but I also saw a husband and a wife who loved and adored each other and were together from the moment they met, basically until the second my dad died. So for myself and my little sister, Julie, it wasn’t a classic beginning – it was a storybook ending of this great love story that involved my mom and dad.” Buck’s own first marriage also ended in divorce, after nearly 18 years and two children. In 2014, he married ESPN reporter and former Denver Broncos cheerleader Michelle Beisner. At that point, Buck realized he had even more in common with his dad. “That’s the foundation of the book,” he says. “In a crazy way, my life and even my career almost exactly parallels my dad’s, even to the time when he got divorced and I got divorced, and his opportunities and when breaks came his way, almost to the year.” Buck also writes about how his parents taught him how couples treat each other and how to make a marriage work. “I was lucky in that respect, too, because I know now – and I didn’t know it as a kid because you think everybody’s parents are like that – it’s pretty unique to have parents who didn’t fight and wanted to be with each other.” He adds, “Parents who stood around the piano with friends at parties and

JULY 15, 2016 | LadueNews.com

In a crazy way, my life and even my career almost exactly parallels my dad’s. - JOE BUCK sang and had a fun time together – it was a great way for me to learn what a marriage should be.” And if things go well with his book, which is set for release this fall, Buck could add the title of bestselling author to his list of credits. Lucky bastard.

The C Suite Business Notes

It’s Just a Matter of Time

By Charlotte VM Ottley

“‌ In a fast-paced business world, time is not often our friend, but it could be, if we just treat it right!” –An Ottley-ism Time, as an indefinite and continued progression of existence and events, occurs in irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. We always seemingly have either too much or too little. Yet leading a successful life demands determining what’s important, setting priorities, finding a proper balance and managing available time. Yesterday: Learn to view the past without getting stuck in guilt or regret – or holding onto vanished yesterdays. Don’t get stuck in the “used to” for past accomplishments; doing so can bind you just as much as dwelling on bad decisions and experiences. And be forgiving. Forgiveness releases hurts, frees you to receive new inputs and helps you apply lessons learned, good and bad alike. Today: Today offers you choices that can vastly impact tomorrow. As a leader, you have to mind those choices, which generally involve many variables –

they’re not monolithic in nature. Because a single choice can drastically affect your company, consider these three strategies: First, sample the market on a small scale to test its viability. Second, collaborate with others to share the impact, good or bad. Third, prepare yourself in either case to respond to the outcome. Then claim a victory for trying. Tomorrow: If toil and talent alone could realize your dreams, all of the needed work and sacrifice would be worthwhile. Too often, unfortunately, realizing a dream at the price of your family, health and service to others can yield empty success. Just a few minutes of TV viewing can suggest or confirm how otherwise successful-seeming lives have missed the mark in some way, shape or form. That doesn’t have to be your story. Matching proper balance and priorities makes the formula for a successful life you can enjoy while you have the time. So what can you do? For one thing, use time wisely. Live today as though it’s the best day of your life. Find what pleases and fulfills you and others – not always fleeting moments of happiness per se, but

of fulfilment. Seek counsel, whether from a parent, a friend, a minister or someone else you trust as a sounding board and as a litmus test for feedback. Find comfort within yourself in your “peaceful place” to figure things out. Never doubt that doing nothing sometimes can be better than doing something – anything – in vain. Also, while seeking alternatives, ignore all blockers to see beyond obstacles to the ultimate good. Work to serve; enhance situations not just for yourself but for others; and work to expedite what’s important. Also, love what you do – it will love you back. Finally, remember, as Ecclesiastes 3:1 advises, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose.…” Seek your season, your purpose. Make time your friend and guiding light.

Hyken’s Homework

Keeping Active

‌A

s temperatures rise and the humidity spikes, many kids start to become lethargic and unmotivated. Although summer’s meant to be a relaxing break from the school year, that shouldn’t mean sleeping away the day and playing video games into the night. Kids of all ages need help to better understand balancing passivity with productivity. The best way to ensure consistent activity with your children involves a regular schedule. Start by discussing sleep with them. In summer, kids should wake a little later than during the school year. Sleeping too much, though, can cause irritability and complicate falling asleep at night. Bedtime should be flexible, but keep in mind that most kids need about 10 hours of sleep each night. Next, parents and kids should collaborate on a weekly calendar that includes structured activities as well as open times. Many summer camps are still enrolling, and they make a great way for

kids to pursue special interests; also, our local universities sponsor excellent opportunities for older adolescents. Discuss such possibilities with your children, and require them to do something that expands the mind and moves the body. Kids also should learn how to embrace their leisure time. Suggest some independent, timeoccupying duties for your own children, but also let them figure out how to fill gaps in the day. Doing so may motivate them to try something new, like picking up a book, phoning an old friend or tackling a challenging task. Most parents might like to permanently ban screen time, but it’s better to accept that streaming, gaming and using social media have become integral in today’s society. Creating expectations around tech-toy use better fosters summer productivity than arguing with your children about electronic engagement. Limit when and how much you allow online activity for your children. Mornings should be

tech-free, forcing them to focus on something else; potentially, that alternative activity will so engage your children that they forget about the computer – at least temporarily. All kids, at some point, struggle with summer boredom, but they also can easily learn how to overcome these tedious times. Furthermore, successfully mastering boredom results in increased self-esteem and greater life enjoyment. Kids who don’t master tedium, however, often engage in risky and destructive behaviors – so guide your own children toward independent activities, and watch them flourish and mature.

other Teresa once said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” MICDS senior Nidhi Bhaskar lives by those words. The 16-year-old St. Louisan, who aspires to improve the health and environment of countless communities, has created a global nonprofit organization, Project New Boundaries for Youth (Youth ProjectNBYOUTH), that is making a worldwide impact. “I view myself as a member of the global community and believe that the youth across the world need to start thinking about global ramifications of their actions from an early age,” Bhaskar says. Bhaskar, who recently received the 2016 President’s Volunteer Service Gold Award for her dedication to volunteer work during the past year, has been pursuing her passion for community service internationally in countries like India since 2013. “When I volunteered at rural clinics in India and Peru in 2013, I saw firsthand the paucity of emergency medical services, poor sanitation and inadequate community awareness, and those factors inspired me to work toward these causes,” Bhaskar says, adding that her mother, Shobha, a pediatrician at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and a faculty member at Washington University in St. Louis, always instilled in her the importance of leading a life of service and purpose. To make a positive impact across the world, Bhaskar started locally. With a belief that youth are a source of tremendous energy and creativity, she began mobilizing local efforts at her high school by starting the MICDS Teen CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) program, which provides first-responder training and certification to teens, and by co-founding MICDS Global Perspectives Club, to lead relief efforts and raise awareness about environmental problems around the

july 15, 2016 | LadueNews.com

world among MICDS Upper School students. Bhaskar stretched her youth-activism efforts even further around the world in 2015, founding ProjectNBYOUTH, a nonprofit and youth-driven leadership initiative aiming to spread awareness and inspire youth about local health and environmental issues in their neighborhoods so that they work to bring about positive changes toward a sustainable future for their communities. “During my trips to developing countries such as India, Peru and Mexico, one of the things that impacted me the most is poor sanitation, inadequate public awareness about proper waste disposal and lack of initiative from the young people there to implement changes,” Bhaskar recalls. “I see a tremendous potential in the youth of these countries to make a difference in their communities.” So, with the help of a Keds Brave Life National Award and grant, Bhaskar kick-started ProjectNBYOUTH, spending the summer after her sophomore year completing paperwork to launch the organization and sending hundreds of emails to promote its mission. The countless hours of work paid off when about 20 teams from multiple schools in Bangalore, India, registered for ProjectNBYOUTH’s 2015 competition, which challenged students to craft essays and action projects to creatively and practically solve their community’s waste-management issues. Students’ projects ranged from waste-management workshops and composter installations in schools to the production of creative YouTube educational documentaries that were shown during school assemblies. “Each and every submission was unique and inspires me to work harder and spread this project to more cities in India – and eventually to more countries,” Bhaskar says. An awards ceremony for the 2015 competition was held in Bangalore in January to recognize the top four schools and team members. The multi-award-winning ProjectNBYOUTH is

among 35 organizations to be highlighted in a new exhibition at the 9/11 Tribute Center by the World Trade Center site in New York City. The exhibition, “Stories of Service and Recovery,” is set to open early next year and will feature citizens and organizations of outstanding service, global outreach and volunteerism from across the country. To continue ProjectNBYOUTH’s mission, Bhaskar says another competition will launch this fall in India, with plans to keep the project’s focus on empowering even more young people around the globe to raise awareness and take action on environmental sustainability – especially waste-management issues. Bhaskar also has her sights set on starting a local activity for high school students in St. Louis to raise awareness about environmental-sustainability issues among youth locally. “I hope to spread this awareness globally and create a domino effect of constructive thinking and action in youth about [these] issues,” she says. And after high school, Bhaskar is dreaming even bigger. She plans to study medicine in college and seek a career in global health and policymaking to work toward promoting equity in health care delivery around the world. “My ultimate dream is to become the Director General of the World Health Organization!” she says. Bhaskar encourages fellow youth to discover what they are passionate about and work toward a cause they believe in. “There will be obstacles throughout the process, but if you are doing what you are truly passionate about, even countless hours of hard work will hardly seem like work and, ultimately, will become enjoyable and fulfilling,” she says.

Dinner ...

always appreciate a restaurant that goes its own way, regardless of what the latest trendsetters are promoting. For more than 20 years, Wild Flower has been doing just that, steadfastly putting out quality fare in the Central West End. That focus on quality over flash has paid off. After all these years, Wild Flower still remains a go-to for area diners and makes a fine choice for dinner and a drink (or two) before a performance of The Mikado at Union Avenue Opera. As the menu says, Wild Flower chefs use local and organic ingredients whenever possible, sourced from quality purveyors like Such and Such Farm, Buttonwood Farm and Todd Geisert Farms, among other area favorites.

JULY 15, 2016 | LadueNews.com

We started our visit with the crispy duck confit ($10) and a bowl of velvety tomato soup (bowl, $9; cup, $6). The confit, a classic example of the dish, was crunchy on the outside, tender and juicy within, served on a bed of greens with some tart cherries alongside. The soup – Wild Flower’s entry for Operation Food Search’s Tomato Explosion promotion this month – indeed lived up to the velvety appellation, with a zesty, smoky flavor. The serving size was certainly generous, and the cause a good one! In addition to a solid selection of pastas, Wild Flower offers a quintet of salads to choose from, all hearty enough to serve as entrées – and then some. We opted for the smoked chop salad ($13). This comprised a huge bowl

By Matt Sorrell of romaine lettuce, chunks of hard-boiled eggs, red onion, tomato, tangy blue cheese and smoked bacon, all chopped and mixed with a rich, creamy smoked tomato dressing. The big plates at Wild Flower provided a study in surf and turf specialties, including a filet, blackened redfish and garlic chicken. As tempting as the other meaty options were, we went for the fish this time around and dove into the organic Irish salmon ($28). Flown in several times a week from the Emerald Isle, this salmon was pink, flaky and tender, cooked until it all but fell apart on the fork. It was served on a bed of greens, tomatoes, onion and cucumbers, accented with a piquant ponzu dressing. Beverage-wise, Wild Flower has a good selection of cocktails, like its mai tai ($10) – also available by

& A Show The Mikado

PHOTO COURTESY OF JOHN LAMB

‌Story: At an English gentlemen’s club in the 1920s, a number of members enjoy the good life, swapping stories, smoking cigars and imbibing fine beverages. Into their midst comes a supposedly wandering minstrel named Nanki-Poo, seeking his love, a young woman named Yum-Yum. From Lord Pish-Tush, he learns that Yum-Yum is engaged to Ko-Ko, a tailor who was condemned to death for the offense of flirting, but who was granted a reprieve and appointed Lord High Executioner in the Japanese town of Titipu. At Ko-Ko’s appointment, though, all of Titipu’s officials resigned except Pooh-Bah, who has assumed all other titles – and their salaries. Ko-Ko learns that the emperor of Japan, known as the Mikado, has decreed an execution in Titipu within a month, but Ko-Ko is a nonviolent sort. Then Ko-Ko learns he himself is next in line for execution. He also learns Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum love each other, so he offers Nanki-Poo a proposition: marry Yum-Yum and then be executed a month later, at which time Ko-Ko will marry the widowed Yum-Yum. This sounds OK to everyone until Katisha, an older woman betrothed to the unwilling Nanki-Poo, arrives and vows revenge. When the Mikado himself comes to town, he says he is searching for his son – the missing Nanki-Poo. This complicates Ko-Ko’s life greatly, as does a law he’s discovered that decrees an executed man’s wife must be buried alive next to him – something that does not please Yum-Yum. Ko-Ko, Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum face a tough predicament, but with aid from Pish-Tush and Yum-Yum’s sister, Pitti-Sing, they come up with an improbable effort to save one and all. Highlights: Union Avenue Opera has opened its 22nd season with its first production of The Mikado, the most successful of the 14 operatic collaborations from the 19th century between librettist William Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. An updated libretto with many topical references combines with Sullivan’s lighthearted music and several amusing performances to make this version of The Mikado refreshing and humorous.

By Mark Bretz

Other Info: The Mikado has been performed continuously around the world since its London premiere in 1885. It successfully satirizes English society in the late Victorian era, although its setting in a fictional Japanese town encumbers it with negative stereotypes. For that reason, Union Avenue Opera moved the setting, as noted, to the Roaring ’20s and an English gentlemen’s club – at first, a confusing stratagem because the characters all sport silly names that hearken back to those stereotypes, and references to Japan still occur. The operetta works best when viewed as a highly effective satire of the restrictive sexual mores of Victorian society – thus, “flirting” as a capital offense. The updated libretto used by the local company (presumably by director Eric Gibson although not so credited in the program) features witty and markedly funny topical references, which are used sparingly enough to maintain their humor. Because his bio has nary a reference to local ties, though, Gibson likely didn’t craft the references to St. Louis-area culture, so perhaps conductor and artistic director Scott Schoonover, supertitle translation editor Philip Touchette or others collaborated. In any event, the result, besides lampooning national figures like Donald Trump, involves delightful references to area villain Stan Kroenke, Webster Groves and other familiar names. Union Avenue Opera’s initial production of the venerable and perennially popular The Mikado succeeds by focusing on Gilbert’s pointed satire of English society and Sullivan’s entertaining music, even in these “enlightened” times.

the pitcher – as well as plenty of beers and wines. Because we visited during happy hour, we got to partake of a $12 carafe of Bastianich rosé from Italy, with several other reds and whites to choose from by the carafe – a great bargain if you’re planning on more than one glass. Otherwise, Wild Flower boasts a late-night bar-andfood menu for the night owls out there, plus Saturday and Sunday brunch and daily lunch service. And of course, given its location in the CWE, parking’s at a premium.

Travel LAKE IN THE SKY

Story by Judith Crowell | Photos by Judith Crowell and Lisa Crowell

ake Tahoe – the second-deepest lake in the United States, at 1,645 feet – rests half in California and half in Nevada. Surrounded by the Sierra Nevada at 6,222 feet above sea level, its cobalt-blue water boasts such clarity a white dinner plate reportedly can be seen almost 80 feet below the surface. For more than a century, tourists have flocked to the lake and surrounding areas for an array of outdoor activities like skiing, water sports, hiking, fishing and more. On our own visit, my daughter and I specifically chose the tranquility of the North Shore and The RitzCarlton, Lake Tahoe. This premier mountain retreat makes a perfect destination for a family-friendly summer vacation. In particular, Ritz Kids, for children ages 5 to 12, offers activities based on water or land, among them wildlife and forest adventures, storytelling, crafts and culinary art – including designing a pizza at the backyard bar and barbecue. For another lakeside experience, other visitors might try the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino at Incline Village and catch a ride on the nearby M.S. Dixie for a daytime or dinner-dancing paddlewheel cruise. The best day for my daughter and me came thanks to Action Water Sports, located behind the Hyatt, where we rented a 21-foot Sea Ray. Scott, a delightful and informative helmsman/guide, took us for a threehour spin by Thunderbird Lodge, a Jazz Age landmark where the likes of both Howard Hughes and Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack did some serious partying. On that spin, Emerald Bay, one of the mostphotographed sites in the U.S., enchanted us with its pristine emerald-green waters and the tiny island at its center, topped by the equally tiny Vikingsholm castle. All these and many more sights made for a perfect morning, but I’ll never forget the sight of my daughter floating blissfully in the middle of Lake Tahoe. Other visitors looking more for action than for bliss, incidentally, will find it all at Action Water Sports: jet skiing, parasailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, water skiing, surfing and fishing packages. Shopping is eclectic and alpine-esque, but to be honest, my daughter and I were so taken by the

JULY 15, 2016 | LadueNews.com

mountains and water that we ourselves did little. Lake Tahoe likewise features numerous great spots to eat. Manzanita at The Ritz, for instance, offers a spectacular setting with delicious cuisine, including s’mores and St. Louis-style ribs at The Backyard Bar & BBQ. My daughter and I thought the West Shore Café a lovely spot, along with Chambers Landing Restaurant & Bar – one of the oldest bars in Tahoe, located at the end of a dock. Visitors to the latter should try the Chambers Punch, but should take care when they leave – the water’s just a misstep away! Steamers Beach Side Bar and Oven, meanwhile, ranks as a local favorite for burgers as well as pizza. For old-world charm, visitors should go to The Pfeifer House for schnitzel, sauerbraten and other delights. Otherwise, The Soule Domain, a log cabin tucked in the woods, offers creative American dining in a romantic

setting, and for breakfast, visitors absolutely must try Squeeze In, which advertises the “Best Omelettes on the Planet” – and it’s not kidding! Also not to be missed is Jake’s on the Lake – familyowned since 1978, with gorgeous lake views. Its menu is inspired by California/Hawaiian flavors and features the freshest salmon, sea bass and crabcakes. I opted for the short ribs with sweet ginger-chili glaze and wanted to extend our Ritz reservation to return there for more of the same. Lake Tahoe’s a busy place, especially in the summer, making reservations and plans essential to avoid wasting time going back and forth from North Shore to East Shore to South Shore. Fall, when the aspens turn golden, is the best-kept secret there, but really, at any season, Lake Tahoe is the “fairest picture the whole earth affords,” as Mark Twain supposedly observed in Roughing It.

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 PROmOtIng StROngER COmmUnItIES category.

LadueNews.com | july 15, 2016

t. Louis has long welcomed newcomers into its community (most recently Syrian refugees even now seeking shelter here) and sought to aid the poor and the underprivileged, and FOCUS St. Louis recently celebrated that trend. In February, the civic leadership organization announced a quintet of categories, each containing a quartet of honorees: Demonstrating Innovative Solutions, Fostering Regional Cooperation, Improving Racial Equality & Social Justice, Promoting Stronger Communities and Responding to Community Needs & Entrepreneurs. The first three profiles in this five-part series, which started late last month, focused on the first three categories listed in this, the 19th year of the organization’s observance. The series concludes next week with the Responding to Community Needs & Entrepreneurs category. The present profile centers on the four Promoting Stronger Communities honorees: International Institute of St. Louis – St. Louis Citizenship Project, Kingdom House, The Little Bit Foundation and Twigs, a program of The Family Treehouse. Becky Rasmussen, FOCUS St. Louis’ director of

marketing and communications, states that each of these honorees “works to address problems, develop initiatives or make lasting improvements that result in stronger, more stable communities.” In that respect, FOCUS St. Louis would exhort the region’s citizens to join it in celebrating these community-based honorees: International Institute of St. Louis – St. Louis Citizenship Project (www.iistl.org) “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore,” reads a plaque at the foot of a lady named Liberty. “Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” Here in St. Louis, this institute greets with similar brio newcomers from elsewhere on the globe. Its nomination characterizes the institute as “our region’s ‘welcoming center for new Americans,’ providing essential community-integration services such as English classes, citizenship preparation, refugee resettlement, job placement, small-business development and career-path assistance.” Moreover, the institute’s St. Louis Citizenship Project “has dramatically increased the size and quality of citizenship-preparation instruction

at [the institute], serving nearly 800 Lawful Permanent Residents [as defined by the Department of Homeland Security] from more than 40 different countries. “Many of the individuals served are former refugees who have fled war-torn countries,” the nomination continues, and the institute “speeds the integrative process for these and other immigrants, engaging them civically and resulting in more opportunities for them to achieve economic success.” If a statue could nod in approval, one can’t help suspecting that Lady Liberty would. Kingdom House (kingdomhouse.org) Like the first honoree in this category, the second also reflects the fires of that torch raised so proudly on Liberty Island. “Kingdom House was founded in 1902 as a settlement house to help the poor, many of whom were immigrants,” states the organization’s nomination, adding that it “continues to help the economically disadvantaged achieve economic independence and a path out of poverty through its holistic programs and services.” Despite its age, the organization takes a decidedly contemporary approach in its service. “While most organizations focus on one or two

impact areas, Kingdom House understands that in order to have real impact, [it] must address the many interrelated needs of members at all ages,” its nomination says. “Programs for youth include an accredited early-childhood center, after-school program, a literacy-focused summer camp and sports teams. [A Kingdom House subunit] offers socialemotional support, academic enrichment, life skills and job readiness to ensure graduation for teens from low-performing schools.” The organization offers additional programs that address needs including adult education, financial stability, and health and wellness. The Little Bit Foundation (www.thelittlebitfoundation.org) To introduce this honoree, its nomination cites an appalling statistic. “One in four children in the greater St. Louis region lives in poverty,” it says, “meaning they likely face a mountain of obstacles standing in front of their greatest opportunity for a brighter future – their education.” Now celebrating its 15th year, The Little Bit Foundation strives to eliminate such learning barriers by providing basic needs to disadvantaged St. Louisarea children. As highlighted in its nomination, “The organization currently serves 6,500 students in 22

partner schools in St. Louis City and North County, and has a goal of reaching an additional 1,000 students each year.” Beyond that formidable specific outreach, the foundation has committed itself, the nomination concludes, “to maintaining a weekly presence in school communities, working one-on-one with every child and serving as the backbone of distribution for programs and services that address the needs of the whole child, be it physical, mental or emotional.” Once more, with emphasis added: “Give me your tired, your poor … ” Twigs, a program of The Family Treehouse (twigsforkids.com) According to Feeding America, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger via food banks and other means, “one in five children do not know where their next meal will come from.” This food insecurity is heightened when summer break begins, when many children no longer have access to free school meals. The Twigs program, launched in 2011, seeks to fill that tummy-rumbling. According to its nomination, “In 2015, Twigs provided more than 60,600 lunches to children in 15 Illinois communities, more than 6,000 Friday food sacks for children at risk of having nothing

to eat over the weekend, and nearly 12,000 pounds of free food to families each month.” The program also works with community partners to teach youngsters basic cooking skills and hosts family wellness fairs. “Twigs has no staff and no marketing budget,” the nomination concludes. “The success of its programs is the result of ordinary people working together to produce extraordinary results.” So: community. In May, to salute the preceding quartet focused on that concept and the other honorees, FOCUS St. Louis hosted the What’s Right With the Region! awards ceremony at The Sheldon Concert Hall. The same ceremony honored Washington University in St. Louis’ Dr. Jason Q. Purnell, the organization’s 2016 Leadership Award recipient. Proceeds from that ticketed event will support FOCUS St. Louis’ work to develop leadership and build strong civic capacity, according to a release from the organization.
