EDITOR ‌ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS ABOUT VISITING THE OCEAN IS getting to stay in cozy cottages with coastal charm. A light, airy aesthetic puts me at ease, even when we aren’t standing on the beach listening to the waves crash around us. And, lovely enough, one St. Charles-based interior designer is bringing that cozy, costal cottage feel a lot closer to home – or, rather, into it. Stephanie Pohlman of Stephanie Pohlman Designs launched her namesake business in 2016 and tackles everything from room remodels to brand-new construction to even collections of handmade throw pillows with coastal-inspired fabrics. Her work is an airy inspiration, and we hope you feel the same! Check out her Abode story, as beautifully told by LN contributing writer Brittany Nay, starting on p. 30. Also in this week’s edition, be sure to check out LN all-star intern emeritus Trey Ross’ feature on J. Girl Beauty, which creates products like lipsticks, body frostings and more, all with fun and sassy names. The Style story, starting on p. 41, delves into the inspiration for the products and the philanthropic arm of the business. All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Editor’s Corner The word around town

The HealthWorks! Kids’ Museum St. Louis recently received more than the development of its Recycle Life Project, which was designed “to educate and reinforce the importance of preventive care and healthy life choices, while introducing the topic of organ and tissue donation in a way that is fun and easy to understand.” More specifically, “The Recycle Life Project is an interactive program for kids that will explain what organs are, where they are located in the body, how they function, which ones can be donated, who is eligible to do so, when it can be done and how organs are utilized to save lives. Most importantly, it will reinforce the role children can play in keeping organs healthy by addressing an array of health-related issues like obesity, high blood pressure, asthma, Type 2 diabetes and more.” Saint Louis Counseling Director Tom Duff and 2019 Saint Louis Counseling Mental Health Ambassador of the Year awardee Tamara Kenny, director of advocacy and community engagement for Catholic Charities of St. Louis

Congratulations to Tamara Kenny, the director of advocacy and community engagement for Catholic Charities of St. Louis, for being named the 2019 Saint Louis Counseling Mental Health Ambassador of the Year. According to a press release, Kenny was “nominated for embracing the Saint Louis Counseling mission, empowering others, advocating for mental health causes and being open and willing to help other people.”

Reimagining a Brand By Maggie Peters | Photos courtesy of Savvy Design Group

ocally owned and operated since 2009, Savvy Design Group is known for providing top-of-theline interior design for residential and commercial spaces. This year, however, they’ve turned their design prowess inward, and created a new image for themselves. It was about a year ago when the Savvy team began to flirt with the idea of changing its brand, as well as finding a location that would better fit the level of work they were doing and give them more space for their extensive design library. The firm’s 10th anniversary was a great opportunity to transition Savvy’s image to match its growth. Savvy Design Group is a full-service design firm that is dedicated to creating personally tailored spaces unique to each client. It was that dedication that Savvy wanted to bring to the forefront when rebranding from Savvy Surrounding Style. “We wanted to show our progression as a design firm and our continued focus on our clients and their design needs,” says owner and principal designer Diane Mantovani Fogerty. “We’re a very collaborative group, and I wanted the name to reflect that we are a design team and not a retailer. We’re going to carry the same lines we’ve always had, but now they’re available only to our clients.” Mantovani Fogerty adds that, with the rebranding, they have also launched an updated website that features detailed profiles of the talented designers, as well as galleries of past projects. The new look ensures that potential clients looking into Savvy Design Group immediately get a sense of who the team is and what they can do. The shift nixed the need for retail space and gave Savvy the opportunity to let their showroom and design library take the center stage of their new location. The feedback has been incredibly positive, with clients appreciating the larger space and the comfortable atmosphere around design meetings and presentations. The team created an easy and functional flow throughout the space, with the kind of attention to detail expected from a firm that knows its way around design. Being less than a block away from their original showroom means, on top of making the move enviably simple, they are still central to their clients. “We knew for sure that we wanted to stay in Ladue,” Mantovani Fogerty says, noting the location opened up at the perfect time. “We were really fortunate.” Let Savvy Design Group’s seamlessly organized redesign of its firm serve as an example of what their skills and work ethic can bring to your space, and come by to see their showroom and library for yourself.

POMPEII EXHIBITION Photos and story by Diane Anderson

uests enjoyed light bites and cocktails before entering “Pompeii: The Exhibition” at the Saint Louis Science Center. The trip began with a journey into the city before Mount Vesuvius erupted. Guests traveled back in time to A.D. 79, when Pompeii flourished as a commercial port and strategic military and trading city. They experienced the lives of the city’s residents at work and at play, and inspected more than 150 authentic artifacts on display. Also, an immersive “4-D” eruption theater allowed guests to experience the eruption itself.

Lost to pediatric cancer at eight, Jonny Wade’s wish was that no other child would have cancer. His family took that wish and put it into the mission of the Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation. His mother, Kimberly Wade, seeks to raise public awareness of pediatric cancer, as well as put money toward research and finding a cure. They encourage you to make children a priority and get involved. The Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation Gala committee is hosting their 4th annual Gala, A Night to Remember, on September 7, giving the public the chance to give their support toward conquering pediatric cancer and have an impact on the lives of those currently suffering.

Kids shouLdN’t have CaNCer FouNdatioN: Feature Story

Raising Awareness and Making a Difference By Maggie Peters

hen 7-year-old Jonny Wade was diagnosed with brain cancer in December of 2014, his family knew as much about pediatric cancer as the average American. “You’d see commercials with the images of these children, but you weren’t really told about them,” says Kimberly Wade, Jonny Wade’s mother and founder of the Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation. “We were told that it was rare.” Jonny Wade’s diagnosis came 8 days after he came home from school with his twin brother, claiming a headache. In such a short amount of time the Wades’ world was turned upside down. What little they’d thought they knew about pediatric cancer was quickly and tragically disproven. “These treatments were horrific for a child,” Kimberly Wade says, recalling her son’s six-hour brain surgery and dozens of radiation treatments that resulted in third-degree burns. The harsh chemotherapy resulted in hearing loss, difficulty walking and the radiation created a secondary cancer that ultimately took his life. None of these were side effects the Wade family had known would happen. “It’s amazing how little awareness is brought up,” Kimberly Wade says. Researching what their son was going through, the family learned that the National Cancer Institute only puts 4 percent of their funding into pediatric cancer research – for more than 100 types. Kimberly Wade recalls Jonny Wade speaking to their congressman and that, when asked what would make him happy, he responded, “I want more than 4 percent.” Jonny Wade wasn’t able to bring his advocacy for more representation to Washington, though. He passed away at home on Christmas Eve, not a full year after his diagnosis. Three weeks later, Kimberly Wade began the Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation, named after what had become Jonny’s mantra in his last months, as a way to raise public awareness,fund pediatric cancer research and ultimately find better treatments and a cure. The foundation has gained serious ground in the years since its inception. With chapters in St. Louis and Dallas, and more forming, it has raised more than a million dollars and has given multiple grants for cancer research. “We’ve done amazing things because of the wonderful support of people throughout the world,” Kimberly Wade says. “People come to us and say Jonny made an impact in their lives and now they really want to make an impact in others’.” The foundation’s 4th Annual Gala, A Night to Remember, will be held on September 7, at the Hilton at The Ballpark. It will include food and music, both live and silent auctions, and continue the Gala’s tradition of honoring five children with pediatric cancer. Information on how to register can be found on its website. The foundation website also gives instructions on how to donate, but Kimberly Wade encourages that people reach out and get involved. “We really want to show these children and their families that we’re here to support them and truly make a difference.”

LANDSCAPE

Uninvited Guests

‌P

lanning a summer garden party? If so, be sure to disinvite the most unpleasant gate-crashers: ticks, mosquitos and chiggers. Practically every garden in Missouri hosts one or more of these nasty creatures. We all want to enjoy spending leisure time in our carefully manicured yards, but not with bloodsucking critters that inflict nasty bites, itchy reactions, secondary infections from scratching and serious blood-borne illnesses. Unfortunately, some traditional methods of tick prevention have serious environmental consequences, like the widespread use of GardenTech’s Sevin insecticide dust. In addition to ticks, Sevin’s active chemical, carbaryl, kills honey bees, butterflies, lightning bugs and a multitude of other desirable organisms. Although popular for insect control for decades primarily because of its low toxicity to mammals, it devastates beneficial insects when used over large areas. The most eco-friendly method of reducing tick populations has been to raise guinea fowl, as they love to eat ticks. However, if you can’t tolerate their incessant noise, live in a neighborhood that forbids urban poultry or can’t defend these less-than-brilliant birds from coyotes, other answers may be needed. In that light, a new method of tick control involves existing chemical treatments handled in a different way.

The chemical permethrin constitutes the synthetic sister to the naturally occurring pyrethrum, an insecticide derived from the pyrethrum daisy. Traditionally used to treat clothing and camping gear to resist ticks and mosquitos, it’s now being used to treat cotton wads placed in weatherproof tubes for – get this – mice to line their nests. The permethrin then transfers in a low dose to the rodents’ fur and kills young ticks carried there, thus interrupting the tick life cycle and reducing the number of adult ticks in your garden. As our climate continues to warm, more mosquitocarried diseases, like the Zika virus and dengue, are predicted to arrive, making environmentally friendly management methods for them critical. Consider, for instance, the newest offerings in the Thermacell Repellents family: Radius units. A battery powers the product and warms a heat-reactive mosquitorepelling pad treated with allethrin (a relative of permethrin) that volatilizes to protect an area of more than 100 square feet. By combining a Radius unit with a natural insect repellant for mosquitoes (30 percent lemon eucalyptus oil, say), you can camp in Wisconsin – whose health services department cautions that the type of mosquito that spreads West Nile virus plagues every county in the state – with no bites.

As for chiggers, early removal remains the best option. Their soft, nearly microscopic bodies are easily crushed by rubbing a dry towel vigorously over your body. So if you live in a chigger-infested area, mow your lawn very low and, at the end of evening get-togethers, pass out towels, with instructions, to departing invited guests.

A St. Charles-based interior designer casts a contemporary West Coast light on room remodeling.

tephanie Pohlman is bringing a splash of coastal-inspired design to the landlocked Midwest. More specifically, influenced by West Coast designers like Salt Lake City’s Studio McGee, the St. Charles-based interior designer possesses a très moderne aesthetic. “I get my biggest inspiration scrolling on Instagram … and the [trendsetting] designers on the coasts,” she says. “My style is coastal chic, light and airy, and I keep it really bright, comfy and cozy, while keeping designs practical.” Although she aims for a high-quality designer look, the local mother relates to the need for her designs also to be family-friendly. “My designs are livable,” she says. “Most of my clients are young moms who have young kids and need design to be practical – but still pretty.” Pohlman, who has a degree in architectural studies with an emphasis in interior design from the University of Missouri, always had an affinity for such topics. “Growing up, I always loved decorating and rearranging, and at school, I was drawn to projects and stronger at computer classes,” she says. “So I almost knew immediately, as I walked through the hallways of [the University of Missouri] and saw all kinds of renderings and drawings, that I would be good at that.” In 2016, the St. Charles native took her talents to a new level, launching her own home-based interior design firm, Stephanie Pohlman Designs, which tackles everything from room remodels to brand-new construction. “I do anything between a one-time consultation where I just come over and give [home design and décor] advice to working from the very beginning of a new build,” she says, calling the latter her true love. “My heart really is in the full process. I love working with people who are building from scratch and doing remodels – figuring out the puzzle and reworking the space.” During Pohlman’s one-time consultations, which last one to two hours, she offers advice on everything from paint color to furniture layout and décor ideas.

and new building projects, the designer’s process begins with getting to know the client through a questionnaire and consultation in order to create an inspiration board, floor plan and budget before hand-selecting and sourcing furniture and accents. Although Pohlman sources from some large retailers such as San Francisco-based Pottery Barn and Framingham, Massachusetts’ HomeGoods, she also loves to keep it local – hence, her own home accessories line, offering collections of locally handmade throw pillows with coastal-inspired fabrics she selects and airy wall art in the form of prints featuring plants by area artist Florelle Rodenberg. “I wanted to create a line so people could get a quick refresh, and pillows and prints are an easy way to redo a room without breaking the bank,” Pohlman says. “I went with a coastal look for my pillow and print collections – it’s a classic look that will be around for a while.” The final step of each project entails that Pohlman complete the installation and professional styling of the space. “I ask the homeowner not to be home on installation day,” she says. “It’s fun for the client … It gives them something to be surprised by when they get home.” Pohlman has delivered her light, livable design to metro area kitchens, living rooms, sunrooms and master bedrooms, as well as applied her “practical, pretty” stamp to nurseries and girls’ bedrooms. “Most of the time, people see me on social media and have an idea of my style and like my style, so they trust me,” she says. “Many times, I complete a client’s living room, and I’m soon back doing their master bedroom.” For one recent project in Eureka, Pohlman breathed new life into a dated kitchen, giving it a coastalfarmhouse feel with on-trend rattan pendant lights, light gray cabinetry, gold hardware, wood accents and a splash of blue on the kitchen island. “The reason people like that farmhouse look is because it makes it feel so homey with the warmer tones of the wood,” she says. “This client wanted a pop of color, but still wanted it to be sophisticated.” Another recent local project illustrates Pohlman’s evolving style: a modern, chic master bedroom where she added black, textured wallpaper behind the bed and wooden beams to the vaulted ceiling. “My style evolves so much with each project, so my favorite project is always the one I’m working on right now,” she says. The “big reveal” of every design is a rewarding process, Pohlman says. “Installation day is my favorite part … To see it all come together and see the client so happy – it pays off and makes me realize that what I’m doing is beneficial to other people.” Stephanie Pohlman Designs, stephaniepohlmandesigns.com

SMALL BATCHES,

s n o i t a r i p s A g i B By Trey Ross | Photos by Sarah Conroy

LadueNews.com | July 19, 2019 41

A longtime St. Louis transplant crafts simple but fun beauty products like luxe lipsticks with often-outrageous names.

. Girl Beauty – a line of small-batch lipsticks, whipped body frostings and scrubs – began with a $30 mixer from amazon, a love of baking and unlimited time thanks to founder Jill Barry’s newfound unemployment. “I like to bake, and I like to do things with recipes, so that is how it all came together,” Barry, president of J. Girl Beauty, says. “Not having a job, I thought this is something fun to learn how to do.” Barry, a New Jersey native who has been living in St. louis for 30 years, is passionate about product development and works in marketing as her “regular hustle.” For her no-frills operation, Barry purchases high-quality ingredients online and works from a home lab in her basement. The quality ingredients that go into each of her products include argan oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado butter, coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, jojoba and hemp oil, and more. “I wanted something that felt really nourishing and wasn’t sticky,” she explains. “My whole premise is that I’m kind of for the person who does not need a lot of time to get ready.” That’s the ethos of J. Girl Beauty: simplicity and fun. Barry runs a one-woman business – from product research and development to testing and quality assurance to packaging and selling. all products start with a recipe, much like baking. By producing small batches, Barry can keep her prices low. lipsticks cost $15, sugar scrubs cost $12, and the light and fluffy whipped body frosting costs $10. “I feel like if you want something luxurious,” Barry says, “it shouldn’t break your bank.” But cost isn’t the only benefit to producing only small batches. Barry notes it also benefits attention to detail, quality and craftsmanship. “One of the things I think about is the person who is going to use it,” she says. “I want them to have the best experience possible.” That said, it’s the giggle-inducing names like Trust Fund, Tilted Halo and Day Drinking that might catch a curious customer’s eye first – and prove that Barry stays entertained with her products. royal Bitch, the first lip color created by Barry, is a regal and rich purple, while Suffragette is a daring, attention-grabbing red. Named for the courageous women of the early 20th century who fought for women’s right to vote, Suffragette also pays homage to the same shade of lipstick worn by those spirited sisters – red. also, till November, J. Girl Beauty is donating 50 percent of Suffragette profits to Her Flag, a collaborative art project by Oklahoma City-based visual artist Marilyn artus to commemorate and educate people about the 100th anniversary next year of the ratification of the 19th amendment, which at last granted women that right. Barry says this partnership just felt right, just like last year, when J. Girl Beauty lipsticks were donated to a workshop for transitioning people at the Trans Beauty Clinic in New york. “I think that everyone has inherent beauty, and if a lotion or a lipstick makes you feel better about yourself, then that’s great,” she explains. “That’s what I want people to walk away with – that they put it on, and it makes their skin feel good, and they feel good about themselves.” On a mission to make J. Girl Beauty customers feel amazing, Barry has created a wide variety of scents that almost make the products seem personalized to a style or personality. Barry’s whipped body frosting products have the same base ingredients, with unique add-ons available to create a different vibe for each one.

GLENN

ow that the Blues have finally gone marching in, Charles Glenn is ready for his encore. Glenn became a local icon as the Blues’ national anthem singer for the past 20 years – his career coming to a dramatic climax with the team’s historic 2019 Stanley Cup victory. “I couldn’t have written this script any better myself,” Glenn says. “To be a part of this story and a pretty big part of the story is unbelievable.” It’s been a magical ride for Glenn, who grew up in Florissant but admits he wasn’t a hockey fan as a kid. His mom was an accomplished singer, and he took after her. Glenn was in the choir and musicals there at McCluer High, and he beams a big smile when I tell him we had the same alma mater. “I love McCluer guys – we’re Comets, baby!” he says. After Glenn graduated in 1973, he started performing with local and regional bands. They were usually just warmups for bigger bands, but he was making a decent living as a musician. Glenn then moved to California and worked in the music business there for 10 years. He also got some formal voice training at Cypress College near Los Angeles. When Glenn returned home, though, he got his best break. In 1999, a Blues staff member heard him sing at a wedding reception and asked Glenn to audition to be the team’s national anthem singer. “I sang ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ and after the first few words, the mic went out – the battery died – but I kept singing, and I finished the song, and they said, ‘Thank you – you can go home,’” Glenn recalls. He thought he’d blown it. But he was wrong. “They called a few days later and asked me to sing for the opening game,” Glenn continues. Everyone who has ever heard him sing the anthem knows why the team called him back and kept bringing him back for all these years. His rendition of the song, vocal range and ability to dramatically hold a note made him one of the best anthem singers in the nation. Last January, Glenn announced this would be his final season. At the time of his announcement, the Blues were in last place – the worst team in the National Hockey League. Glenn himself was at a pretty low point; he’d been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and the disease was taking its toll. “Some days I’m good, some days I’m not,” Glenn explains as we have iced tea at a café near his home in Maryland Heights. “We were playing Chicago, and I was trying to walk off the ice, and my right leg just wouldn’t work. The next day, I was fine, but things started happening more and more, so I gave them my notice. I didn’t want to be a detriment to the team. I didn’t want people to feel sorry for me.” Instead of fading away, though, Glenn decided he was going to go all out for the rest

I thought if they can do it, then I’ll show by example, and I’ll sing a little stronger and harder every game. I wanted to leave with a bang. - CHARLES GLENN of the year and leave everything on the ice, so to speak. The team must have picked up on his vibe because they started winning – and they kept winning. They won a record 11 straight and barreled in to the playoffs. “When they went from last place to first, it made me stronger,” Glenn says. “I thought if they can do it, then I’ll show by example, and I’ll sing a little stronger and harder every game. I wanted to leave with a bang.” He just didn’t have any idea how big that “bang” would be. Glenn says his next challenge will be living with MS. His prognosis is good. With the proper medications and a healthy lifestyle, he says it’s possible to keep living a full life for many years, and Glenn says he’s going to continue singing. He has signed with Clayton’s Contemporary Productions, in fact, and will perform mostly at private events. Glenn’s also going to continue teaching a gospel-and-R&B singing class at Creve Coeur’s Missouri Baptist University, but his biggest goal is a project he’s starting called Voices for a Cure. It will give promising singers a chance to perform at The Sheldon Concert Hall & Art Galleries, with proceeds going to MS research. He hopes it will eventually turn into a national event. “I’m not going to show defeat – I’m going to keep on winning,” Glenn says with bravado. And I can’t imagine that we’ll soon forget that when the Blues did go marching in with the Stanley Cup held high, Charles Glenn not only was in that number but also was leading it. Encore, encore!

Hyken’s HOMEWORK Young Driver Safety

‌B

y the end of the summer, both of our kids will have their driver licenses. As parents, we are excited both for our children to have more independence and freedom and for ourselves, as we will no longer have to build our schedules around picking up our teenagers from school and chauffeuring them to extracurricular activities or social events. Yes, family life is going to be simpler, as we will no longer have to coordinate our children’s transportation needs. We also realize, however, that our parental anxiety is going to amplify as we worry about our children’s safety. Twenty percent of all new drivers have a fender bender during their first year on the road, and more than half of all high school students will have a car crash before graduation. Although it is true that many automobile mishaps occur because of passenger interaction, cellphone engagement and distracted driving, teens’ crashes most often occur because young drivers lack road experience, according to the National Safety Council. Newly licensed motorists find it difficult to judge gaps in traffic, to drive the right speed for current conditions

and to pay attention to their surroundings. Many adults will often ask their children to sign safe-driving contracts to ensure that teens make good driving decisions. While this is a well-intentioned thought, a better idea is to have collaborate interactions with your young driver about automobile accountability. An AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study found that kids are more likely to use common sense and obey road rules when parents provide clear guidelines. Mom and dad should have regular and ongoing conversations with their teenagers about driving expectations. Discuss big issues such as geographic boundaries, local laws and, of course, drinking and driving; also outline communication expectations, the number of allowed passengers and general responsibilities. Specifics are important but an open dialogue that creates responsibility and teaches good decision-making is much better than a rigid agreement. Also, consider installing a location/safe-driving app such as Life360 on your child’s phone. In addition to pinpointing where your teen is, apps like that provide

By Dr. Russell Hyken safety information such as how fast your teenager is driving or how hard he or she is braking. Should you feel your child is being unsafe, don’t yell; rather, calmly ask your teen what he or she needs to do to improve driving skills. Lastly, don’t forget to talk with your kids about car maintenance. A mechanical mishap can be just as dangerous as an accident. All drivers, not just teens, should check gas levels every time the car is started and continually monitor oil, brake fluid and windshield cleaner levels. Most important, be a good example. Kids model adults and they are watching your behind-the-wheel behaviors. Wear seat belts, obey the law and pull over when you use the phone. Driving is a privilege for both parents and teens.

2019 BMW

m850i ConVERTIblE Story and photos by Ryan Scott

LadueNews.com | July 19, 2019 51

BMW rolls out the 8 series for only the second tiMe in its history, seeking once More to make history.

n 1990, BMW introduced the 850i – the world’s first road car to combine a V-12 engine with a six-speed manual transmission and the allure of a luxury tourer with supercar performance – and caused quite a ruckus. The entire first year allocation sold out in just days, in fact. The 850i couldn’t maintain that level of excitement, though, and by the time production ended in ’96, only 33,000 or so 850i’s had sold, perhaps because of the ongoing recession or the rather reserved styling. Now, in the m850i convertible, BMW has sought to truly capture lightning in a bottle by reviving that long-dormant 8 series, this time with less prelaunch hype: no supercar promises or exotic powerplants. Still, auto enthusiasts’ expectations remain lofty – especially given the $120,000-plus sticker price and exalted company. Much as the British shaped perceptions of what a sports car should be, the Germans did with the idea of a grand tourer – and BMW has tried to do that with the m850i. Even though the company has peppered the vehicle’s literature with the word sport, however, one look at the dimensions of the m850i suggests otherwise. BMW has tossed in the m before 850i to conjure motorsports imagery, but don’t be fooled: Especially in drop-top trim, the m850i tips the scale at more than 4,400 pounds, a couple of full suitcases more than a pair of Alfa Romeo 4Cs. That poundage

52 July 19, 2019 | LadueNews.com

obtains even despite weight-saving tech like a carbon-core chassis, which uses a forged blend of carbon fiber and aluminum, and the extensive replacement of steel throughout with aluminum and magnesium. Although the m850i certainly doesn’t feel like its weight behind the wheel, when hustling, many of the vehicle’s dance moves obviously result less from athleticism than from programming – frankly, like a virtual reality simulation. A myriad of sensors monitor body motion, spewing data into who knows how many onboard computers for processing, then back into the adaptive dampers. Also, electronically variable sway bars and rear-wheel steering result in undeniable capability, but yield a somewhat labored and inorganic feel. In the twisties, as a result, the m850i will do what you ask, but in a sterile and almost digital way. What should be expected, though, hinges on the agility to devour corners for short stretches, then blast through long stretches of straightline driving with supreme confidence – and there, the m850i excels. Even with the vehicle set to Sport Plus mode, road imperfections are almost perfectly damped – ensuring not a drop of your latte will spill. The 523-horsepower, TwinPower-Turbo 4.4-liter V-8 launches all that mass out of corners and onto the straight line with aplomb. It does so, moreover, with one of the best “soundtracks” around. The m850i tone and timbre are bellissimo. Put your foot to the floor, and the m850i will catapult to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and through the quartermile in a scant 11.9. It doesn’t feel quite like that in practice, but the numbers don’t lie. Combined with a perfectly tuned ZF eight-speed transmission, it all works together to produce excellent results. With a redline of only 6,000

Price as Tested: $129,445 Loaner From: Autohaus BMW

rpm, it feels as if every time the m850i is starting to wind out, on comes a new gearshift – and speed without the sense of speed seems like a joke without a punchline. No endorphin rush, no fun. Inside, the m850i includes all the things expected for an entry to this class: style and premium materials with availability of all the latest tech. Despite that, the vehicle lacks the “wow” factor; its effectiveness combines hits with noticeable near-misses. The m850i’s ability to keep you cool with its top down on a 95 degree metro area afternoon struck me as top-notch, but its controls could stand a little scrutiny from an ergonomist. The backup-maneuvering 3D camera, meanwhile, provides a picture great enough to tempt you to forgo glancing out the window, but other aids, like lane assist, felt so aggressive on the test drive that I turned them off. Also, the digital cluster and infotainment screen, though sharp and clear, incorporate a head-scratching amount of wasted black space around the latter, and the former could stand to be more customizable. And although Bowers & Wilkins have provided knockout stereo systems for Volvo, the m850i system lacks driver focus and detailed clarity. In conclusion, much like the 6 series it replaces, the m850i ranks as a great car, without question, but not a standout. It doesn’t quite speak to the soul, and I won’t be dreaming of one in my garage. Certainly, if I awoke in the morning and found one there, I’d feel happy – but I wouldn’t drop to my knees in utter jubilation. It conjures the age-old enigma of intangibles: Make a bullet-point list of all the things you want – and even though the reality matches your list point by point, you find yourself wondering, “Why don’t I love it?”

The contemporary American restaurant comes from the team behind the same neighborhood’s Polite Society and occupies the space that previously housed Element, which closed last October. “We love the neighborhood and the space,” says Brian Schmitz, who is a co-proprietor with Jonathan Schoen. “When the opportunity presented itself, we thought, ‘OK, this makes a lot of sense.’” The Bellwether fills roughly 7,000 square feet of the historic City Hospital power plant. Its main dining area and bar contain roughly 68 seats and occupy the third

floor, with its kitchen and an in-development privateevents space – dubbed the Reference Room – on the second floor. Each level also has its own outdoor patio. Components of the restaurant’s interior – with consultation by local designer Diane Zebell – include banquettes and booths by St. Louis’ Gomez Upholstery, Moroccan-style hanging lights and pseudo-Victorian curtains. The color palette includes maroon, mauve, white and silver, as well as dark wood. Much like its menu, the restaurant’s aesthetic subtribes to no particular style, instead drawing inspiration from all over. “The Bellwether’s name means ‘leading indicator,’” Schmitz says. “I want it to be a two-way street representation of what’s going on in St. Louis, as well as bringing in what resonates with us from outside of

We wanted to stretch our legs and reach to try some different things, so we thought that’d be a great way to encapsulate it.” Executive chef Thomas Futrell’s menu begins with salads and small plates like mushroom and ginger dumplings, with the dumplings braised in tamari (Japanese soy sauce), green onions and black vinegar dipping sauce. As another highlight, lamb meatballs contain Aztec blue grits, lamb fat lavash and Calabrian pepper jam. Pasta options vary, with one recent dish involving fava bean rotolo accompanied by fines herbes, fava beans and ricotta fonduta. Entrées, meanwhile, include octopus with roasted Carnival-brand cauliflower, Calabrian pepper oil and curried mustard beurre blanc.

Dor VSOP cognac, Los Nahuales mezcal, Bràulio amaro, turmeric simple syrup, lemon juice and Bittermens Hellfire shrub). The Bellwether, in short, would make an excellent place to meditate on the wonders of Union Avenue Opera’s 25th season, whose first show concluded on Sat., July 13, and whose second opens Fri., July 26. “I’m really proud of what this team has done,” Schmitz says. “I think it’s a continuation of the hospitality that I hope we display at Polite Society and a space with its own unique identity.”

‌Having recently graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University, Scott Schoonover applied in 1994 for the post of music director at Union Avenue Christian Church in St. Louis’ Visitation Park neighborhood. He was offered the job in part because of his dream to start an opera company. At the time, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis was the area’s foremost opera company; however, its reputation was built on presenting operas solely in English, regardless of the original language of various works. In contrast, Union Avenue Opera, conceived under the aegis of the Arts Group of Union Avenue, was founded to bring affordable, professional, original-language opera to the metro area. In 2000, UAO mounted a production of Giacomo Puccini’s La bohème, with UAO’s initial presentation becoming the first hereabouts to involve projecting English-translation titles. That same season marked the company’s first offering of two operas in the same season. In its 10th season (in 2004), UAO expanded to its current presentation of three operas per season. Schoonover has helmed UAO as artistic director and frequent conductor since its inception and is thrilled to see his company celebrating its silver anniversary with this 2019 season. It opened earlier this month with a rousing version of Leonard Bernstein’s Candide to celebrate the centennial of the composer’s birth. La bohème returns to the UAO stage July 26 through Aug. 3. That’s followed on Aug. 16 through 24 by the area premiere of Tom Cipullo’s Glory Denied, the true story of Vietnam War veteran Col. Jim Thompson, the longest-held American prisoner of war in U.S. history. Local premieres have been among the works of most pride for Schoonover. “We’ve done many Midwest and St. Louis premieres,” he says. “A few that spring to mind are Dead Man Walking, Doubt and this summer’s Glory Denied.” Doubt featured the UAO debut of renowned opera star Christine Brewer, the pride of nearby Lebanon, Illinois. “Each year we are lucky to have a few folks that have performed all over the world,” says Schoonover. “More importantly, I’m very proud of some of the singers who got their start at UAO and who are now world famous. A few examples include Lise Lindstrom, who was our first Turandot [the title character from Puccini’s 1926 opera] and is today the world’s leading Turandot and becoming a famous Wagnerian. In 2018, UAO became a “Professional Company” member of OPERA America – a national organization for artists, administrators and audiences dedicated to supporting the creation, presentation and enjoyment of opera. In addition to new works and the classics, UAO also has mounted literary gems such a A Streetcar Named Desire by St. Louis native Tennessee Williams,

the profound Maxwell Anderson/Kurt Weill musical Lost in the Stars, the Broadway musical standard Carousel by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Wagner’s epic, four-part Ring Cycle for audiences who frequently fill the 600-seat Union Avenue Christian Church (660 including the side balcony with its limited sightlines). “I’m proud of what our teams of designers turn in year after year,” Schoonover says, “even given the challenges of the space and our limited budget.” Planning a season is an arduous but rewarding task for Schoonover. “I get to select the season each year,” he says, “though I certainly take into account the opinions of my staff – Emily [administrative director Emily DePauw Stolarski] in particular – and our board. I try to come up with a mix of styles and genres while also searching for culturally relevant works.” With such a list of notable achievements, do any in particular stand out in the mind of UAO’s founder and artistic director? “For one, staying in business and continuing steady growth in all areas for the past 25 years,” says Schoonover. “In a time when many opera companies have failed and closed their doors, we have continued to flourish and see more interest in what we are doing from our community.” As for the future, Schoonover would like “UAO to become more stable, and at this point, we need more staff to do what we do and to continue to grow … It is a big goal of ours to solidify our infrastructure so that we can do more artistically in the next 25 years.” As part of its silver anniversary celebration, UAO will hold its 25th anniversary gala on Oct. 10 at The Barnett on Washington at 3207 Washington Blvd. in St. Louis. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will precede a gourmet dinner and musical performances by Kenneth Overton (Lost in the Stars), Elise Quagliata (Doubt) and Marsha Thompson (Nabucco), hosted by Kathy Lawton Brown of radio station Classic 107.3 FM. For tickets and more information, interested parties should contact 314-361-2881 or unionavenueopera.com.

s l e v r a M Mirroring By Bryan A. Hollerbach

With subtlety and style, an online academic project gives younger users experience in how to program like digital pros.

lthough nowadays perhaps in its twilight, Looking Glass, a charmingly quirky online project hosted by Washington University in St. Louis, has long leveraged a sly blend of entertainment and education to enthuse users aged 10 and older about computer programming. Dr. Caitlin Kelleher, the Hugo F. & Ina Champ Urbauer Career Development Associate Professor in the university’s McKelvey School of Engineering, launched the project in 2012. “With Looking Glass,” its home page notes, “you can create and share animated stories, simple games and even virtual pets.” Looking Glass supports the Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems and involves three main components, a trio very much redolent of classically defined feedback loops: Crafting an animated story, wherein users “create complex narratives using a simple drag-and-drop interface,” notes the project’s website. “In writing their stories, users begin to learn basic programming constructs like parallel actions, iteration, conditionals and object-oriented code.” Remixing to learn new skills, wherein “capturing interesting animations from other individuals’ worlds and using them in your project” takes the spotlight, the website continues. “Think that animation of an alien doing the moonwalk would be perfect for your underwater diver? Simply remix the action and bring it to life in your world. Remixing encourages code reuse and helps teach you new skills by looking at example code and interactively exploring how that code works.” Sharing Looking Glass creations on the web, wherein the project emphasizes digital interaction, especially for suggestions. To assist users in acclimating to Looking Glass’ digital protocols, the project features video tutorials in addition to the templates mentioned. Moreover, its website asks and answers various questions – “What Is Computer Programming?”

LadueNews.com | July 19, 2019 59 LadueNews.com | july 19, 2019 59

“Why Is Programming Important?” – with pellucid intelligence and incorporates a dozen and a half equally clear FAQs. Looking Glass otherwise features a showcase visitors can view. In the latest upload to it at press time, as an example of work contributed to the project, a user named “Star” with a lupine avatar uploaded a “world” tagged, simply, “stuff.” In that 28-second clip, a brown-haired girl in a lilac top and shorts approaches a gray canine across a greensward. “Hi puppy,” the girl says to the canine in a comic book/ strip word balloon. The canine similarly replies, “woof.” Then, amusingly, it recedes to the horizon, at which point the girl’s thought bubble reappears with the keyboard emoticon for a frowning face. According to her university bio, Kelleher specializes in researching humancomputer interaction “and focuses on designing new kinds of programming environments and languages that democratize programming. Recently, her research group has focused on supporting children learning to program independently. This research has resulted in new kinds of support for tutorials, code execution history exploration tools and robust support for reusing code from unfamiliar programs. Additionally, her group has explored how to support learning from code puzzles and the kinds of learning decisions young novices make in open-ended contexts.” As a result, over time Kelleher has co-authored academic publications with such daunting titles as “Setting the scene: scaffolding stories to benefit middle school students learning to program” and “Towards generalizing expert programmers’ suggestions for novice programmers.” The Looking Glass website provides the rationale for the research: “Computing has become a fundamental tool in nearly every career field. Yet there are few opportunities for children to learn basic computer programming. … Looking Glass introduces basic programming within the context of creating open-ended animated stories.” The website continues by relating that Kelleher and her team have “been exploring how to enable and maximize learning from programs that others create. Looking Glass includes support for selecting animations of interest in a program shared through our online community and remixing it into your own program. We’re currently looking at how to automatically generate effective tutorials based on the selected code, how to recommend animations in other programs that introduce new computing ideas and how to harness potential help from expert mentors to create learning support for kids without access to opportunities to explore computing in their own communities.” Intriguingly, Looking Glass, to an extent, owes its existence to a predecessor. Before joining the Wash U staff, that is, Kelleher developed a programming system called Storytelling Alice as part of her computer science doctoral work at Pittsburgh’s distinguished Carnegie Mellon University. She designed that system “to motivate a broad spectrum of middle school students (particularly girls) to learn to program computers through creating short 3D animated movies,” according to the website alice.org, where Storytelling Alice remains archived. Given that mention of the past, a reflection on the future of Looking Glass and her research seems apt. “I’m not exactly sure where we’re going next,” Kelleher confesses by email. “A lot of the compelling research problems really require a scale that [wouldn’t work] without a large marketing effort and a significantly larger development team than a university research project can realistically muster.” Finally, Looking Glass and Storytelling Alice alike self-evidently pay tribute nominally to two classics of 19th-century British children’s literature, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, written by “Lewis Carroll.” In that regard, literarily canny readers may well wonder if Kelleher’s next project references a walrus and a carpenter, say, or a cat with an enigmatic grin.
