On the cover 10 Since its formation in 1988 by local Scottish Rite Masons, the Walker Scottish Rite Clinic – now partnered with Maryville University – has been a critical resource for St. Louis-area children and families dealing with speech and language disorders. Offering free screenings, therapy programs and parent training, the clinic operates a total of seven locations across the region. Turn to page 10 to learn more about the organization, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.

from the

EDITOR ‌FROM A YOUNG AGE, I’VE ALWAYS BEEN AN AVID AND voracious reader. Books are an incredible escape from daily life – a way to travel to an unknown land, to allow your imagination to soar or to get your heart pumping from suspense (without having to cover your eyes). After moving several times, though, in recent years, I was convinced I needed to lighten my load to only my favorites. However, after seeing the gorgeous custom bookcase NewSpace created, I’m slightly regretting paring down my home library and am eager to build it back up.

Starting on p. 24, we hope you enjoy not only seeing a stunning book display (all readers rejoice!) but also learning about the firm behind the design, NewSpace. As you’ll learn from LN contributing writer Drew Gieseke, NewSpace is a long-tenured company that offers trusted, customizable organization for any space in your abode (or commercial entity) that could use a little love – who says organization only has to happen in spring?

Also in this week’s edition, we hope you enjoy learning more about Barrel Brands, curated aromatic, barrel-aged oils for both your skin and hair. Starting on p. 37, LN contributing writer Brittany Nay shares the heartening story behind Barrel Brands and what inspires the veteranmade personal care products.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

ounded in 1988 by a group of local Scottish Rite Masons, led by Earl Walker and Les Denney, Walker Scottish Rite Clinic at Maryville University provides speech and language therapy services to children ages 2 to 6. This year, the clinic celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Although it has evolved considerably throughout its history, the clinic’s original mission – to help children with speech and language disorders thrive by improving their communication skills – remains unchanged.

One of the hallmarks of the clinic is that it offers therapies at absolutely no cost to children and their families. “All of our services are free, and include speech and language therapy and evaluations, plus audiology screenings,” explains executive director Jacob Gutshall. “We also provide parent training, which is an important part of the process, and helps to keep our lessons going when children are at home.”

Since its inception, the clinic’s footprint has grown considerably, making it possible for the organization to serve even greater populations across the area. “Our goal is to reach children near where they live, to find underserved communities and partner with locations in those areas,” emphasizes Gutshall.

To that end, the clinic now operates a total of seven sites that stretch across the St. Louis region to reach rural, city and county communities. In addition to its original headquarters in the City at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, the clinic offers Spanish language therapy programs at the SouthSide Early Childhood Center.

Working closely with respective health departments, the clinic also runs outposts in Arnold, Troy and Union.

This spring, the organization opened its newest satellite at the YWCA Head Start North County Center. This new outreach program is the result of productive conversations between the clinic’s therapists and YWCA Head Start staff members.

“We conduct a lot of free screenings at day care facilities and preschools around the region,” explains Gutshall. “About 22 percent of the children we screen would benefit from speech and language therapy intervention. While we were in North St. Louis County [performing screenings], teachers and support staff began asking us about the next steps. And we realized that there wasn’t a resource in that area.” Now, with the support of a multiyear grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health, the clinic will be able to offer individual speech and language therapies to children living in and around the community.

In 2015, the clinic joined forces with Maryville University, becoming a fullyintegrated program of the university. With a new headquarters on its campus in West St. Louis County, the clinic now adds a teaching component to its mission, providing clinical education to students enrolled in the university’s newly formed Speech-Language Pathology graduate program.

While the clinic’s other branches primarily offer one-on-one treatments, plus screenings, to children and their families, the Maryville University headquarters also operates group programs, like the KidTalk Language Group, for so-called “late talkers,” and the summer KidTalk Social Group, for children who struggle with social interactions and making new friends.

With the clinic’s big anniversary this year, Gutshall has been hearing more and more from children and families positively impacted by its services. Recently, a former “late talker” decided to give back to the community that made such an impact on his growth. As part of his Eagle Scout project, this young boy – now nearly a teenager – launched a Little Free Library at the clinic’s Arnold site.

The organization will highlight more inspiring stories like this one during its annual KidTalk Celebration, taking place on November 10 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. “It’s an evening full of excitement and fun,” Gutshall describes of the black-tie event, which will include a formal dinner and silent auction. Joined by special guests, singer Theo Peoples, of the Temptations and the Four Tops, will also regale attendees with Motown tunes. “There’s always a lot of positive energy in the room.”

As its largest fundraiser of the year, the KidTalk Celebration generates crucial funding for the clinic that not only supports its existing programs, but also allows it to plan for the next 30 years. In the future, Gutshall would like to see the clinic continue to expand its reach. For instance, he envisions growing its Spanish language programs.

“We hope to keep reaching children where the resources just aren’t available for them to receive the therapies that they need,” Gutshall states. “We want to help the kid who may fall through the cracks because he or she can’t afford therapy, or doesn’t qualify for services.”

CELEBRATION OF SUCCESS/ DIANNE ARBEITER BENEFIT Photos and story by Diane Anderson

T

he Special Education Foundation recently held its 13th annual Celebration of Success/Dianne Arbeiter Benefit.

This year’s event honored Dianne Arbeiter and JoAnn Tierney Sauer, at the estate of Suzie and Dave Spence. Guests enjoyed light bites and cocktails. Each year, the foundation hosts the event to honor Arbeiter’s commitment to the students she served. The latest event also honored the memory of Sauer, the mother of Suzie Spence. Sauer dedicated her entire professional career to the education of students in the Special School District of St. Louis, serving the children at Litszinger School and Shriners Hospital for more than 40 years. Proceeds from the event go to scholarships, summer camps and hearing aids for students in deaf and hard-of-hearing programs in St. Louis County. To date, more than $222,000 in scholarships and summer camps has been awarded. Scholarships went to Liam Chorney and Dieynaba Sam. Nan Murch and Suzie Spence served as committee chairs.

This event helps so many worthy children with deaf and hard-of-hearing issues in the Special School District.

We are so grateful for everyone who came out to support this important fundraiser this evening.

SUVA, FIJI

By Robyn Dexter Known for its crystal-clear waters and unparalleled beaches, Fiji has become a go-to for tropical getaways. The South Pacific Ocean country is composed of more than 300 islands, with a southern capital of Suva, the country’s largest metropolitan city. Visitors to Suva can spend time at the Municipal Market, the Fiji Museum and the capital’s 78 parks. The harbor city is built on a peninsula that reaches out into the sea, and a majority of the city center is built on reclaimed mangrove swamps. Given its tropical rainforest climate, the city enjoys an average high temperature of about 82 degrees and a low of 72. With a thriving cultural scene and a growing reputation as the region’s fashion capital, Suva is making a name for itself in the South Pacific region. Bring a little piece of this tropical paradise home with you in these home décor items.

NewSpace

From home to business, a longtenured Overland company offers trusted, customizable organization.

A

lot can change in three decades.

In 1984, NewSpace began serving the St. Louis community with one mission: bring order and ease into customers’ everyday lives through home organization. That mission quickly evolved into providing furniture design and space planning services for business. Now, nearly 35 years later, new partners Jay Kamps – a former Nestlé Purina marketing executive – and longtime NewSpace president Monte Bordeaux eye a rapid expansion in the coming years, all with the central focus remaining on the customer.

“We are the premier home-organization company in the St. Louis area,” Kamps says. “On the commercial side, we have had a fullservice business interior division since 1994.”

NewSpace has picked up several specialties since the ’80s. Its three divisions are composed of residential home organization, commercial business interiors and custom woodworking, which can manufacture everything from home entertainment centers to garages to pantries. Each division has dedicated employees, many with more than 15 years of experience.

As one would expect, the business looks a little different today than it did in ’84. The advent of the smartphone (and other mobile technology solutions) was merely a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye when NewSpace designers were hand-drawing closet-system plans for customers. Now, technology such as digital renderings means less waste in the workshop and more instant feedback from consumers, who have become more informed about the organization than ever.

“When we first started out, people didn’t really have closet systems of any kind, so educating became our key goal,” Bordeaux says with a chuckle. “The consumer today knows what a well-organized home is, which means that our product lines have expanded to help them reach the vision that they have in their heads.”

Trends come and go – and NewSpace certainly keeps up with each, as both Kamps and Bordeaux easily rattle off different varieties of finishes and fixtures – but customization has become the key tool in NewSpace’s arsenal. Kamps points out that the company’s clients now come equipped with inspiration thanks to seemingly endless design websites and trendy television shows – dream team Chip and Joanna Gaines from HGTV’s Fixer Upper and hunky Jonathan and Drew Scott from the same Knoxville, Tennessee, broadcaster’s Property Brothers immediately spring to mind.

“Twenty, 30 years ago, people wouldn’t have imagined putting cabinets or storage in the garage,” Kamps says. “Now, it’s totally different. We can be problem-solvers with so many different options available to people … We don’t like to say no.”

On the commercial side, small companies are tearing down walls both literally and figuratively in favor of open workspaces.

“Everything is low-profile, a more collaborative environment, and that really impacts what we do in terms of type of furniture, installs, walls, as well as partitions,” Kamps says, noting that managers and their employees might find themselves working side by side in these new layouts.

“It’s been a big part of growing the business.”

That said, the foundation of NewSpace’s mission always comes back to interiors, cabinetry and organization, even with Kamps’ and Bordeaux’s renewed focus on evolving the company.

Expansion isn’t always easy, especially taking a nearly 35-year-old company and doubling its business within five years. But NewSpace looks to leverage its existing relationships with architects, contractors and other professionals in the homebuilding industry to create greater awareness through word-of-mouth and boots-on-the-ground tactics in both the commercial and residential communities.

These relationships, which have developed over the course of decades in the business, position NewSpace as a trusted go-between for the two audiences. While architects and builders stick to prearranged designs and layouts, the company’s nimble, tailored approach allows it to create organization plans for each client, every single time.

“It’s almost like we’re partners with both the homebuilder and the homeowner,” Bordeaux says. “The idea is that we’re an enhancement for the builder, not an adversary.”

As with many service industries, however, everything seems to return to reputation.

“Repeats and referrals really are the lifeblood of our business,” Kamps says. “What made me want to join the team was NewSpace’s solid reputation. We’re from St. Louis, so being well-received in the community is not only about our company’s reputation, it’s [also] about our own.”

n this modern day and age, inspiration hits you everywhere you look, from television to magazines to social media apps. While some places like to spoon-feed you concepts for your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom, one furniture store encourages you to take back the wheel in the design process.

“Expressions Furniture primarily designs custom furniture, which was an original concept in St. Louis when we opened 30 years ago,” owner Anne Tipton says.

“In a world that is being taken over by the big-box stores that dictate styles and trends, we are and always will be unique. We design for the individual.”

Style is fluid, trends fade – but personality prevails.

That logic forms the foundation of Expressions Furniture, which is why its clientele revisits year after year, with some even reupholstering items they bought two decades ago.

“Custom doesn’t have to be expensive,” claims Tipton.

“The [high] cost is a big misconception. Custom simply

means that you get what you want. We have a nice range of the latest and greatest fabrics, and are not limited to one style. Whether you’re more traditional or transitional or modern, we can make anything to fit your lifestyle and personality.”

The shop proves a great resource for any design need, with services that range from designing a single piece to making over an entire room. Expressions Furniture can also create slipcovers and window treatments for clients, as well as reupholster furniture. Whether or not you have a project on the horizon, there is one time of year you simply must visit Expressions Furniture.

“We redo the showroom every year in August, selling things off the floor to make room for new items,” explains Tipton. “It is an awesome time to shop here. Our annual floor sample sale is in its 30th year, beginning on Aug. 1, with discounts starting at 50 percent. By Labor Day, our showroom is all new again.”

Tipton admits she sees some clients only around this time of year, proving the event’s popularity. It’s

july 27, 2018 | ladueNews.com | A lAdue news speciAl promotion

evidently one worthy of marking the calendar. “We have an incredible, loyal customer base,” she shares. “We’re now starting to assist the children of our customers [who have been coming here for years]. We feel very blessed to still be here – and we would not be, without that loyal base.”

What brings them back 20 or 30 years later? One simple concept that still rings true after three decades in the business: Expressions Furniture has the ability to express its clients’ individual, unique tastes through finished design. “[We offer] a personal experience in today’s world,” reminds Tipton. “We truly think outside of the box.

It’s important to support your local stores, and from the first moment you walk in here, you’ll know there is something definitely different about Expressions Furniture.”

CONFIDENTIAL

Angela Rhone

PHOTO BY SARAH CONROY

‌A

By Mary Mack

s vice president of Visions Management Group, an entertainment firm she co-owns with her husband, Eric, Angela Rhone relies on her personal style to pack a powerful punch.

“In entertainment, we can get a little more fashionable with what we’re wearing,” she says. “To be honest, if I wear a business suit and look [too buttoned up], people might wonder if I’m too stuffy.”

Describing her aesthetic as professional chic, Rhone likes to find ways to stand out, such as adding a ruffle to an off-the-rack skirt, embracing trends – right now her favorite is the resurgence of palazzo pants – or completing ensembles with one of her eye-catching feather pins. A self-proclaimed shoe-lover, she counts Jimmy Choo as a favorite designer for comfort, and she’s also fond of Sophia Webster shoes.

“I love how whimsical they are,” Rhone says. “I love the colors and the styles, and I love the fact that she only makes a few pairs of each, so once they are gone, you can’t get them anymore.”

Rhone cites Nordstrom as her most-frequented area shopping spot – though she also loves local boutiques, especially Shine, for accessories. She counts Ted Baker, Maggy London, Theory, Julie Vos and Alexis Bittar as go-to brands, but she just recently discovered her absolute favorite, MAX&Co. (part of the Max Mara Fashion Group), during a trip to Italy. MAX&Co. is more difficult to locate stateside presently, but Rhone appreciates that the label more readily caters to petite ladies like herself.

“I’m 5 feet, so I’d say about 95 percent of what I buy has to have alterations,” she says. “It’s really hard for me to find clothes, but I don’t view it as a problem. I take it as an opportunity and a challenge.”

When it comes to style inspiration, Rhone looks to Michelle Obama – despite the height difference – admiring the former first lady’s penchant for mixing and matching and incorporating statement details when others would go the more traditional route.

Outside of work, you could find Rhone volunteering (her go-to casual outfit, she says, would be skinny jeans and a funky top) or spending time with her husband and sons.

“My husband is an impeccable dresser, so I don’t have to help him,” Rhone says. “In fact, he picks things out for me a lot of the time. But for my little guys, one of my rules is iron your clothes. And then at this point, I’m trying to teach them to match and coordinate. It’s a little bit of a struggle because I have one guy that will walk out with green socks, a blue shirt and orange pants.”

And her rules for style in the workplace for other aspirational boss ladies? First, a versatile dress is a girl’s best friend during the often-sweltering summer months in the area. Second, read your room.

“Especially if you are younger and starting out, I would say learn the norms of the company that you’re working for,” Rhone says. “Then add your own flare, but with moderation.”

Barrel Brands curates uniquely aromatic, barrel-aged oils for the comfort and care of your skin and hair.

J

eremy Stanton believes an aroma has the power to transport you back to another time. That’s why carefully curated, yearlong barrel-aged scents that evoke special memories are at the heart of his hair and skin oil business, Barrel Brands.

The formerly clean-cut Stanton, who joined the U.S. Air Force in 1995 at the age of 18 and served until 2010, now sports a lengthy beard and a number of colorful tattoos. What started as a hobby to maintain his own hair and skin using beard and tattoo oil quickly blossomed into a barreling business that he now runs out of a rustic workshop in downtown Collinsville, Illinois.

“I am having a wonderfully difficult time keeping up [with the demand] – the audience has told me it’s more than a hobby, and I am expanding to other demographics,” Stanton explains of the 1½-year-old company, Barrel Brands.

As Stanton is quick to point out, Barrel Brands has evolved into much more than oil for beards and tattoos. His small-batch, barrel-aged oils can treat and protect skin and hair for men, women and children through an array of uses, from serving as a woman’s makeup primer, hair tamer, fragrance and post-shave bikini-line moisturizer, to soothing skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, scars and pregnancy stretch marks.

Each precious drop of oil is handmade by Stanton with a great deal of care and pride. Every bottle contains a proprietary blend of pure vitamin E oil, other natural oils and aromatic botanicals.

Stanton then barrel-ages the oil blend for a year before thoughtfully inspecting and bottling it. This yearlong aging process in American oak and cedar whiskey barrels and French oak wine casks is crucial to build the quality and aroma profile of every oil, he notes. “I never plan on changing this – it keeps the integrity and creative spirit,” Stanton says.

To create each specially scented oil, the entrepreneurial veteran takes inspiration from his life experiences, including time serving his country, as well as friends and family – his wife, Lindsey; children, Nora and Milo; rescue dog, Sarge; and service canine, Kade, donated to Stanton by the nonprofit Dogs That Help to aid with post-traumatic stress disorder, which he was diagnosed with following his service time.

Barrel Brands currently has more than 10 uniquely scented hair and skin oils, dubbed “expressions,” with a new release typically debuting monthly. Each expression is carefully curated to evoke a treasured memory, Stanton notes.

Vanilla, a warm, delightful scent made with hand-scraped Madagascar vanilla beans, raw pipe tobacco and a touch of Texas cedar is aged in used Rally Point Single Barrel Rye Whiskey barrels from StilL 630 craft spirits distiller in St. Louis.

“When I was a kid, my grandpa always packed his pipe, so [the tobacco aroma] brings back really good memories for me,” Stanton says of the signature raw pipe tobacco ingredient used in all of his expressions.

Another expression, 595, is created with fresh lavender from Tenderloin Farms in Edwardsville, Illinois, while Revive is an earthy blend made with sage from Stanton’s personal garden. Both expressions are aged in French oak 60-gallon Ruby Port wine casks that previously finished bourbon.

And the Italia expression was inspired by Stanton’s service time in Europe. The bold oil combines ingredients including coffee and cacao beans, oregano, Italian cypress and raw pipe tobacco, all aged in used bourbon barrels.

The latest expressions are Sun, a summery scent, and NBD (which stands for no bad days), made for a friend of Stanton’s who is currently battling cancer.

Barrel Brands also has collaborated with St. Louis-area businesses such as 4 Hands Brewing Co. to create custom oils. “[Local bespoke boot-maker] MYG Handmade uses our oil to soften and patina its leather,” Stanton says. “And we are developing a coffee-scented oil for [Barrel Brands] fan Jamey Jasta of the metal band Hatebreed.”

Stanton says clients are “flipping” over the oils, which they say are keeping their hair and skin healthier, all while comforting them with their soothing scents. “It’s very exciting to know we’re helping people,” he says.

As for future oils, Stanton plans to develop a specialty scent for fellow veterans with physical scars and mental wounds – a pain he says he knows all too well. “I escaped a mass terror bombing in Saudi Arabia in 1996 where 19 airmen were killed,” Stanton says, adding that Barrel Brands already lends support to veterans’ nonprofits including Support Up Veteran Ventures, which provides outdoor adventures to those who have served.

Barrel Brands’ oils, $35 per 1-ounce bottle, are available online at barrelbrands.us and at more than 40 retailers across the U.S., including local establishments The Boulevard Hair Co., Dapper Gents Grooming Lounge and Urban Matter. The company also offers a $25 monthly subscription service with a 1-ounce bottle in the expression of the customer’s choice.

“Until someone uses the product and has it on their hands, they don’t know what it’s like,” Stanton says.

So the artisan plans to keep the barrel rolling, with a goal of distributing to two to five locations in major U.S. cities by the end of the year – one curated, barrel-aged bottle of oil at a time.

By Dick Smothers I love 20 Minutes to Fitness. Here’s why.

I get a special joy from the fact that I’m doing something for myself that I know is helping me become a stronger, more fit, 75-plus-year-old.

I first came to 20 Minutes to Fitness in 2008, and it was like nothing I had ever experienced in my life. I had been around gyms for many years, and I was quite aware of all sorts of workout philosophies, but never this one. In and out in about 20 minutes? This I had to see. I saw it and I’m still here.

In 2011, I embarked on an extended road trip in my RV that took me to the West Coast and points in between, and I couldn’t keep up my workout program. I didn’t pick it up again until 2 years later. I knew that I had lost some muscle mass and was curious to see how soon I could get it back.

I was amazed!

With every session I get stronger. My stronger body makes my life easier and more enjoyable.

My trainer is an excellent coach, and I think accepts the fact that I like to talk while I’m working out. But that’s just how I do it. It’s not mandatory to be a motor mouth.

I’ll ask her things like, “Did you add weight? How much? How much time did I do last time? How much time have I done so far? Is that all? You’re kidding. I don’t think I can do anymore!” She’ll say, “Yes you can, try one more.” I try, I do one more, and it is not easy, but quite often I find enough strength to do another one after that.

That’s what it’s all about. That’s the genius of this program. I exhaust my muscle groups with a high weight for my ability and a low number of slow repetitions. Once a week. I don’t have to do three sets of ten, two to three times a week at the gym. This is a medically based, scientifically proven training program performed on unique specialized equipment with extremely knowledgeable coaches in a non-gym environment.

I bike, swim, stand up paddle-board, dance, yoga, meditate, take naps and more. I live with a great sense of gratitude of the blessings God has given me. I don’t take anything for granted, including my muscles.

Since I added “20 Minutes to Fitness” to my life, I’m doing just fine, thank you!!!!!

Street Wisdom

‌A

few years ago, I had the good fortune to visit the studios of Sesame Street, a treasured part of many children’s lives for just under half a century now.

It was certainly entertaining (and more than a bit humbling) to meet the late Jim Henson’s Muppets face-to-face and realize those iconic puppets represent the best of what we all strive to be.

Kermit the Frog, for instance, teaches the value of friendship and originality; he challenges viewers to strive to stay unique. Big Bird, meanwhile, teaches that viewers are all “birds of a different feather” and that life centers not around how different people are but around the differences they make; like his wee green amigo, he challenges viewers to continue to build relationships with others. Also, Count von Count introduces viewers to the intricacies of money, but warns against the tendency to overvalue material things. Even Oscar the Grouch consistently demonstrates the value of respect and tolerance for different ideas and people.

Sesame Street, in short, has taught generations of children the values of peace, love and tolerance

By Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande

each day, showing youngsters the best way to bring authenticity to themselves remains simply to be themselves. Big Bird and his buds teach viewers of all ages to embrace the feelings of others and to celebrate the diversity of people and ideas that have made our country so special.

These days, unfortunately, it often seems as if the lessons of Sesame Street have been forgotten – or at least set aside for more expedient means. Yet this seems exactly the time to reconnect with our true values, with our internal Big Bird and Kermit.

At a time like this, we need to recognize this great nation was built on principles that have made us, as President Ronald Reagan (who was borrowing from English Puritan lawyer John Winthrop, who himself was borrowing from Matthew 5:14) so aptly dubbed us, “that shining city on a hill.”

With one degree of success or another, our nation collectively has always aspired to anchor itself in goodness, good faith and the willingness to do whatever it takes to elevate ourselves, our organizations and our communities. For decades, Sesame Street has mirrored what we all strive to be.

It’s demonstrated our values, celebrated our strengths

and reminded us we can live together harmoniously on the street of humanity, a thoroughfare to which each of us holds right of way.

Perhaps the time has thus come to change our figurative channels and tune in again to those lovable Muppets and monsters that show us how to be the best we can be.

his month, I’m training at least two nonprofit spokespersons to be on TV, give speeches, make quick media comments and promote their causes. They realize opportunities, especially on local TV, have increased dramatically, particularly on local morning shows that last hours – their best shot, in my opinion, because there’s a lot of time to fill.

TV producers want guests who are TV-savvy and offer an entertaining and informative segment that leaves them little to no work. So here are some tips that will improve your chances of getting airtime.

1. Have a fresh pitch. Have something new – whether an event, project, policy or fundraiser – that will be of interest. Producers need a reason, and those are of news value.

2. Propose b-roll. B-roll, in essence, is video assisting putting your words into context. For example, if your nonprofit works closely with animals, footage of volunteers working or playing with said animals in some respect can be more visually stimulating than simply watching someone speak into a microphone. Plus, having b-roll available might make a critical difference whether you are selected for inclusion.

3. Be prepared. Anticipate questions the anchors might have, but remember, it’s a conversation, not a speech. Let them talk. It is their show, after all!

4. Have an easy-to-understand “home base message.” Make sure it applies to the widest range of people, which TV stations want for high ratings.

5. Smile and show vitality. Interact with the anchors cheerfully, depending on the topic. Showing your smile may make viewers more receptive to your message and your organization.

6. Arrive early. Arriving early allows a buffer for potential traffic situations, etc.

Also, it allows you time to get acquainted with those you’ll be working with. However, don’t be disappointed if anchors don’t envelope you completely with their attention.

They are likely preparing to go on the air at any moment, just like you.

7. Leave quietly and don’t expect any thanks. The next minute is on the TV staff’s minds. Don’t feel offended.

8. Follow up. Reach out to those you worked with to thank them for the opportunity.

Summers are typically slow, so now is a good time to propose a spot. When you reach out to executive producers, you’ve got approximately 30 seconds to convince them why your organization should receive inclusion. Show a comfortable, upbeat personality in your voice, don’t be pushy and focus on the public good – and you’ve got a shot.

GOLF GRAPEVINE

Port Takes Trophy

By Warren Mayes

‌E

llen Port is back, and that means one of the area’s top women amateur golfers is looking to re-establish herself in the elite ranks.

Port recently won her 16th Metropolitan Women’s Amateur Championship at Sunset Hills Country Club, posting a 6-over 150 to win the tournament, meaning she brought the Jayne M. Watson trophy back to her home till next year.

“I was a little surprised I won,” Port says. “I didn’t think I had a prayer. I’m shocked nobody surpassed me.

Winning on your home course is always fun. I love that Watson trophy. She was there and she awarded it to me.

She watched the back nine. I think she brought me good luck. I was inspired.”

Port hasn’t played as much in the last few years, as she’s been coaching the Washington University women’s golf team; however, she stepped down from her coaching duties at the end of the 2018 season. Before Washington University, she coached at John Burroughs for 32 years.

“My time as a collegiate coach was challenging and extremely rewarding – a good combination,” Port says. “I am thankful to have had the opportunity to be associated with Wash U athletics and Division III golf.”

With that, Port now has coached and taught at the elementary, junior high, high school and collegiate levels. So – is she fully retired now?

“I can’t say the ‘R’ word yet,” Port replies. “I don’t know if I am or not. My kids are in college. I’m taking a little sabbatical here.”

Hole-in-One Goes to 9-Year-Old

Mason Reynolds, a 9-year-old entering the fourth grade at Ellisville Elementary this fall, scored a hole-in-one recently at Forest Hills Country Club in Clarkson Valley.

The ace came on the par-3 third hole and was set up at 109 yards. Reynolds used a 9-iron off the tee and didn’t see the ball go into the hole because of the elevated green. However, when he got to the green and couldn’t find his ball, his scorer insisted on checking the hole.

Sure enough, there it was.

“He actually played the rest of the round with it,” says Jason Reynolds, Mason’s father. “Now he knows, if it happens again, pocket the ball!”

Reynolds fils does indeed have the ball, and his parents are ordering a case for it to be preserved.

The youngster plays in the junior golf program at Forest Hills, as well as in Junior PGA events. He takes lessons from Forest Hills pros Gideon Traub and Marvin Herrod.

Kreikemeier Returns to PGA Junior Championship

Lafayette High School’s Max Kreikemeier will compete in the upcoming Boys Junior PGA Championship to be held July 31 to Aug. 3 at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

Kreikemeier earned his berth in the tournament by finishing with a 3-over-par 147 to win the recent Gateway PGA Junior Championship at Forest Hills Country Club.

Last year, the Junior PGA Championship took place at the Country Club of St. Albans, and although Kreikemeier made the field, he missed the cut by shooting a 150.

Women’s Mid-Amateur Features Playoff

The top two women from 2017 battled it out for the championship of the recent Missouri Golf Association Mid-Amateur, and it took a playoff before Kayla Eckelkamp won the tournament.

Eckelkamp, the 2017 MGA Player of the Year, defeated 2017 Mid-Amateur champion (and 2017 MGA Senior Player of the Year) Kathy Glennon in the tourney played at Glen Echo Country Club.

Eckelkamp, a Maryville University graduate and a Washington native, is a member at the Franklin County Country Club. Glennon belongs to the Country Club of St. Albans.

Eckelkamp fired a par 71 in the opening round, while Glennon was a stroke back, at 72. Kelly Osborne, of Ballwin, carded a 74.

Play in the second round began with a two-hour rain delay as tournament administrators called the golfers off the course because of lightning, and the delay played havoc with the scores: Eckelkamp (7175) ended the second round with a 4-over 75 to tie Glennon (72-74).

Eckelkamp and Glennon proceeded to No. 17 for a playoff as the clouds and sky were darkening once again.

The Pro Shop and MGA staff were closely monitoring lightning that was headed to the area. The ladies sprang into action with the intent to get the playoff going – and Eckelkamp then won in the playoff.

St. Joe Natives Vie in Missouri Golf Association News

Two St. Joseph natives, Brad Nurski and Brooks

Jungbluth, faced off in a 36-hole match play competition to determine the 2018 Missouri Amateur Championship held at Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau.

In the morning round, Jungbluth made incredible putts to take the lead over Nurski. Jungbluth stayed either all square or ahead of defending champion Nurski all morning, but Nurski brought the match back to all square by the completion of the first 18 holes. Both players had outstanding morning rounds, with both shooting modified match play scores of 67.

After a break for lunch and a rain shower, Jungbluth continued to hold Nurski off until the 25th hole, when Nurski took his first lead of the day. The two went back and forth until the 29th hole, where Nurski took the lead for good.

Nurski continued to build his lead until finally claiming his back-to-back Missouri Amateur victory on the 35th hole, winning the final round 3 and 1.

Nurski is a back-to-back and three-time winner of the top amateur tournament in the state.

Wallis Classic Takes Place

The Bill Wallis Golf Classic celebrated 17 years of fun and fundraising at the Country Club of St. Albans.

“We honor Bill’s legacy each year as we raise funds to help young people pursue their education,” says Nolan Keller, chairman of the classic for the past five years. “Bill died in 2001 of melanoma, but his vision continues. To date, we’ve given $243,000 to 90 scholarship recipients.”

Lynn Wallis adds: “A major thank-you to all of the Wallis Companies sponsors, vendors, suppliers, staff volunteers, family and friends who make this golf classic a premier event each year, and also have been a big part of our company’s success as we celebrate our 50th anniversary.”

G

olf is a precision game. From beginners to experienced golfers, tracking the ball’s distance and trajectory is key, yet it’s not easy when standing on a tee and searching for the ball’s final stopping point after a fairway drive. But a new venue in Chesterfield is about to make it easy to measure your ball’s speed, distance and arc – and golfers young and old are guaranteed fun in the process.

Topgolf St. Louis is a new entertainment, dining and golf venue opening in late summer in the Chesterfield Valley. Director of operations Ben Wolski says that the location is convenient for patrons from the city and suburbs alike and that the new three-story structure is easily visible from both east and west. This marks the venture’s first Missouri location.

“We’ve created a golf experience that’s really everyone’s game,” Wolski says.

Among Topgolf’s 102 high-tech golf bays, as many as eight people per bay can gather to play a variety of golf games while enjoying food and beverages delivered to them.

Of the eight people, as many as six can take turns hitting microchipped golf balls into Topgolf’s outfield with dartboardlike targets. Players can compete for points or hone their skills.

“Traditional golfers can measure the exact yardage of each shot and practice their game,” Wolski says. “But we’re also drawing people in with the entertainment aspects of golf. This is not your traditional style of golf, but people may find out they love it, and some get into traditional golf after trying this out.”

At Topgolf’s current locations in 20 states (with five more coming soon) and two foreign nations (with three more coming soon), more than half of the clientele consider themselves nongolfers, he adds.

Every new player pays $5 for a lifetime membership that covers free club rental, access to play at any Topgolf worldwide and the ability to track points.

The Early Drive Membership, available for $300 for three months or $500 for six months, allows for unlimited gameplay from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. Platinum membership, which costs $250 per month, provides unlimited play during specific “platinum” hours, access to one bay and up to six players per visit, discounts on food

and beverages, invitations to members-only outings and parties, and the ability to receive priority access, jumping to the top of Topgolf’s waitlist. Topgolf also offers discounts on events, additional gameplay credit to use outside of “platinum” hours, free club rental upgrades, free lifetime memberships for guests, and a $1,000 holein-one prize for Platinum members in the brown, blue and white targets.

Those who have never picked up a golf club before can still enjoy the Topgolf experience. Staff are available to provide tips for beginners, and players can choose from several different types of games that work on different skills, such as ball accuracy and distance with various types of clubs. Individual and group lessons also will be available from two PGA golf pros at the Chesterfield location. Kids’ golf camps will be planned during summer, winter and spring breaks.

Aside from golf, patrons can enjoy billiards, shuffleboard, a sports bar and a rooftop terrace with DJs or live music. “There’s a lot to do for everyone, whether you play golf or not,” Wolski says.

In fact, he notes that Topgolf is a popular entertainment and event venue, hosting everything from birthday parties to corporate meetings to wedding receptions. He points out that the space is flexible and that event planners can choose from small meeting spaces to renting the entire building for large events. “We can cater to groups of all sizes, with or without the golf experience,” Wolski says. “We especially love to see charity events occur at Topgolf, and we can work with organizations on specific fundraising packages.”

The dedication to charity and community involvement is clear in Wolski’s emphasis on Topgolf’s ethos when it comes to hiring. Topgolf staff participate in local volunteer opportunities, and Topgolf works to form partnerships with charitable organizations.

“We’re just really excited to be here,” he says. “We want to be great neighbors and embrace this community in a positive way. Everyone who walks into Topgolf should feel better when they leave than when they arrive.”

The Wine Life WHAT I AM DRINKING NOW…

By Stanley Browne ‌ 016 BADIA DI MORRONA, 2 FELCIAIO – TUSCANY, ITALY Grape: 100% Vermentino Owner/Winemaker: Gaslini Alberti family Aged: 100% stainless steel before bottling Approximate Retail Price: $18 TASTING NOTES: Color: Bright and reflective with a pale straw hue, green and gold highlights Aroma: Mellow citrus, white flower petals with a hint of melon Taste: Refreshing and acidic with pleasant hints of lemon, apple and pineapple with a lingering finish

T

uscany. The name of that central Italian region itself can invoke passions and visions of a life long forgotten or long sought after, filled with food, wine, a beautiful countryside and breezy summer nights.

The Badia di Morrona estate, located in the heart of Tuscany, lies 15 miles from Pisa and 30 miles from Florence, and

boasts more than a huge and elaborate winery. It also produces its own extra-virgin olive oil, with its own mill on the estate, and encompasses a restaurant that uses vegetables and fruit grown only on the estate; five separate villas (each with its own swimming pool) for guests, with either hotel rooms or apartments, all renovated from houses where farmers once lived; and a fully restored abbey and monastery dating back to A.D. 1089.

The Gaslini Alberti family purchased Badia di Morrona in 1939, with the property totaling 1,500 acres – 282 planted as vineyards and 100 as olive groves, with the rest dedicated to grain fields and natural woods. Focusing on sangiovese, the main grape of Tuscany, the family replanted all the vineyards with superior clones, vine densities and training systems based on both soil type and the wine intended for production. With more than half of the vineyards planted to their beloved sangiovese, the family also grows

cabernet, merlot and syrah – varietals friendly to the Tuscan terroir. They also plant white varietals such as vermentino, trebbiano and chardonnay.

Badia di Morrona produces more than a dozen different wines, including grappa and the dessert wine of the region, vin santo.

Badia di Morrona’s 2016 Felciaio, made of 100 percent vermentino, has an inviting aroma, laced with heavy flower petals and citrus, and a refreshing palate; it remains a favored summer white to all who have had the good fortune to taste it.

Food Pairings: This wine nicely accompanies fresh seafood and pasta highlighted with extra-virgin olive oil or harder cheeses with dried fruits and nuts – but it also works quite well all by itself on the patio, on a deck or by the pool.

The Festival OF NATIONS

54

JULY 27, 27 2018 | LadueNews.com

The festival also will showcase several musical performances with more synthesized sounds, such as Afro-Caribbean music with a twist and modernized European songs. The park will devote multiple stages to performances, and different types of acts will appear on each stage.

Visitors also will be able to buy special products imported or even handcrafted for the festival from any of the 38 gift booths, including holiday ornaments, German lace, Nigerian fabrics, artisan soaps made by a Syrian craftsman and many other goods. Some of the artists will even be demonstrating their crafts, so attendees will be able to view Chinese brush painting, tea ceremonies and Ethiopian coffee ceremonies.

“Festivals like this are important ‒ they’re vital ‒ for a couple of reasons,” Crosslin says. “One is that in this day and age, [a] lack of understanding and appreciation for a variety of different cultures creates barriers because people are fearful of that which they don’t understand. So the Festival of Nations is really about bringing people together around subjects that everybody can understand and appreciate,

which are food and music. This is the first step in building relationships or the next step in building deeper relationships, so that we think less as a community from the point of view of ‘us’ and ‘them’ and more about ‘we.’”

Interested parties can attend the event for the weekend or sign up to be one of the 600 volunteers the festival needs to continue. “Volunteering is a great way to learn up close and personal,” Crosslin says. “Spending a couple hours volunteering and then a couple more hours wandering around really enhances the experience.” Those interested in participating can sign up online to be a volunteer; doing so entails just choosing a time slot and work assignment.

Closer to the date of the event, the festival’s website will include a schedule of performance times and information on shuttle services to accommodate parking.

T

he Festival of Nations focuses on mixing cultures, and this year’s incarnation features some mashups that oughtn’t disappoint – like a Spam-centric Hawaiian take on sushi that one food booth will be offering. (Get soy excited!)

Spam sushi, of course, numbers among the many foods visitors will be able to sample at this year’s festival, where attendees can travel the world without leaving the metro area. The festival, scheduled for Aug. 25 and 26, will unite people of all backgrounds, representing more than 60 ethnicities, in a two-day celebration with food, music and dancing in St. Louis’ Tower Grove Park.

The International Institute of St. Louis has been holding the festival in various forms since the 1920s, and this year, the event’s organizers expect upwards of 125,000 attendees.

“The actual performers, booth operators, et cetera are in many cases former immigrants who have moved to St. Louis and who are representative of lots of different walks of life,” says Anna Crosslin, the institute’s president and CEO. “So there is a lot of ethnic community support to bring about the really excellent quality and diversity that you see at the festival.”

In addition to funky food fusions, the festival will feature solo, duet and large-ensemble dance performances. “When we look at our performances, it’s about newer cultural traditions in the century, but it’s also about longtime traditions,” Crosslin says. The more traditional dances will intermingle with contemporary routines that show how cultures have evolved over time, including performances by Chinese modern dancers, Missouri cloggers and ensembles that mix rap and tap routines, among others.

rec di

G ium Atr

Composition 18-15, an acrylic on canvas, astonishes the eye with its variations in both palette and presentation of paint (that is, the comparative thickness and thinness of components).

• Last but scarcely least, Tanner’s 35- by 27-inch Finding Your Way Home showcases multicolored polka dot forms intermingled with shimmery twists of almost serpentine shapes, all against a dark background of handmade paper mounted on suede.

Miles succinctly defines the scope of “What’s New?” as “18 works …, through both the large and small galleries. Each of the four artists has between two and six works – and often work intermingled among the [other] artists’.”

Miles also briefly explains the rationale that guided her in constellating Emser, Glasgow, Salveson and Tanner in “What’s New?” “For group shows, I always like to use works I can balance between compatibility and interesting and supportive juxtapositions,” she says.

“I like for the works to be enhanced by their proximity to other pieces in the exhibition. I also like variety, so we have essentially two painters, one collage/drawing/multimedia artist and a sculptor. Three of these artists are working in abstraction, and one with exceptional landscape works.”

Hours for “What’s New?” run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Thursday through Saturday. Art devotees also can view the works on display in it by appointment every Tuesday and Wednesday.

H

ere in the so-called New World, over time – over not just weeks and months and years but decades and beyond – few phrases have so consistently and dangerously resonated as, ironically enough, new.

It thus comes as a considerable relief to relate that “What’s New?” – a four-artist exhibition gracing the 32-year-old Atrium Gallery in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood through Aug. 31 – presents itself with simple but stellar exuberance.

Carolyn Miles, the owner and director of Atrium Gallery, relates what most compels her about the individual works of the quartet of artists – Bob Emser, Ellen Glasgow, Doug Salveson and Chris Tanner – involved in this exhibition, which opened June 29.

“The theme of the show, ‘What’s New?,’ alerts visitors to the circumstance that these are recent pieces, just coming into the gallery,” Miles says. “New work from established Atrium artists is always interesting to see, as many of our followers are familiar with the artists and their work from past exhibitions. I wanted to take advantage of fresh, new work and give a glimpse of what will be forthcoming in the next season.”

The four stars of the exhibition customarily create in a variety of art forms. Emser, for instance, works with a diverse range of metal sculptural media, often incorporating cast shadows into the viewer’s appreciation of his presentation. In addition to working with monotypes, meanwhile, Glasgow mainly paints landscapes, predominantly oils on linen (and, to a lesser extent, canvas). Salveson, for his part, works in free-form abstracts, generally oils on canvas, albeit with some acrylics on paper that often incorporate near-totemic avian motifs. Tanner, finally, works in mixed media, often called “paintings,” with patterns of glittery objects and collage.

A brief review of representative creations from that quintet should perhaps pique the interest of local art devotees: • Emser’s Life on a Wing, which measures 19 by 48 by 11 inches, focuses on an odd metallic construct of small struts, wires and webbing, lit so that its shadow (which looks vaguely ocular) dwarfs the sculpture as such.

• The 40- by 58-inch Blue Bells, Spring from Glasgow depicts a sort of creeping floral growth with a copse behind the terrain it’s covering, a verdant landscape lit rather ethereally, as if at dusk, at dawn or just before a thunderstorm.

• An abstract of utter vivacity, Salveson’s 17¾- by 41¾-inch
