letter

from the

EDITOR WITH AN ARRAY OF INSPIRATIONS CONSTANTLY AVAILABLE at our fingertips, it’s easy to get swept up by flawless interior design. However, regardless of how obvious this may seem, we must also consider the functionality of the space for our lives. As much as I’d love to own a stunning white-tufted velveteen sofa, it wouldn’t stand a chance against my son’s often sticky – how are they always so sticky?! – fingers.

Design team Erica Karleskint and Juliette Nahrgang, who own 1-year-old St. Louis-based residential and commercial design firm Loft & Burrow, are on a mission to create spaces that combine just that – style and function. Starting on p. 21, LN contributing writer Brittany Nay shares more about the design team, their inspiration and their process for beautifying local spaces.

Also in this week’s edition, we hope you enjoy learning about the 100th PGA Championship and its array of accompanying events. Although my golf knowledge extends only to that of putt-putt, it’s hard to deny the enthusiasm surrounding this event. Starting on p. 38, LN contributing writer Connie Mitchell explores how Bellerive Country Club has been preparing for the elaborate event, including how the club received such an honor to host and what attendees can expect.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

ucked away in Town and Country, a beautiful campus spreads across 21 acres of lush landscaping. Its residents appreciate a luxurious lifestyle that caters to the aging population. It is Mari de Villa – and to many, including the senior living community’s owners, it is home.

“We strive to make our guests’ admission and stay at Mari de Villa as seamless as possible,” says Fred Wiesehan, CEO of Mari de Villa. “Our all-inclusive skilled nursing allows us to tailor care around the needs of each of our guests, even as those needs increase.”

First opening in 1960, Mari de Villa has undergone several expansions over the decades, most recently in 2010. As the amenities and facilities have evolved, the core concept remains ever the same.

“The underlying theme for all of us at Mari de Villa is care,” explains Wiesehan.

According to him, that takes on many forms: “The way in which we care for our staff, many whom have been with Mari de Villa for decades. The way in which we care for our buildings and 21 acres.

The way in which we care for our larger community of Town and Country, with whom we co-sponsor Fourth of July and Christmas celebrations, and stay involved year-round. And most importantly, the way in which we care for our guests and their families.”

This incredible level of dedication to Mari de Villa’s residents, team and campus is only natural, given that the family at the helm has lived on the property since 1984. Wiesehan and his wife, Mary Kay, took over three decades ago and have raised their children on the campus, teaching them lessons of compassion and

the meaning of family. Their two sons are now federaland state-licensed long-term care administrators, who also serve the senior living community.

“Our commitment is to continuing the tradition of offering dignity and quality care to all our guests, within a beautiful environment,” shares Wiesehan.

“Serving the families of St. Louis for as many years as we have, we have seen the expansion of senior

living options. It can be very confusing to navigate residential care, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehab care, independent living and memory care. We welcome the opportunity to provide tours to families and to answer any of their questions.”

Mari de Villa keeps itself accessible to families through all-inclusive rates. “The Villa East and West buildings are each staffed with nurses and certified nurse’s aides, who provide 24-hour care, adjusting that care as needs may increase,” notes Wiesehan. “All

accommodations are private rooms or suites. No cost is arbitrarily added to a bill. With a full complement of therapies and daily activities, Mari de Villa truly is a home where someone can age in place.”

The independent living community, dubbed The Villa Estates, offers elegant surrounds. “Beautifully appointed homes range in size from 1,200 square feet to more than 3,000 square feet, with hardwood floors, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and more,” describes Wiesehan.

“The villas offer a number of activities and events for residents to participate in, including outings in a 15-passenger Mercedes motor coach to places like The Fabulous Fox Theatre, The Chase Park Plaza Hotel, the Missouri Botanical Garden, historic Kimmswick and many of St. Louis’ finest restaurants.”

With endless enjoyment at their fingertips and caring individuals at every turn, the residents seem to have it made. And the Wiesehans will happily roll out the welcome mat to anyone who wishes to explore their home and consider making it their own.

“Residents and their families trust our family at Mari de Villa,” says Wiesehan.

“Whether you are familiar with Mari de Villa, having had loved ones here in the past, we still encourage you to come and see the enhancements made over the years. And if you are visiting for the first time, we feel strongly you will be pleased with what you see.”

“Mary Kay said it best,” adds Wiesehan. “We keep getting better with age.”

Opera Theatre of Saint Louis

SPRING GALA Photos and story by Christina Kling-Garrett

I

n mid-May, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis held its 43rd annual spring gala at the Sally S. Levy Opera Center in Webster Groves. Guests enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and dinner outside the center. The evening featured a performance by renowned mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, who has been hailed as “an artist to treasure” by The New York Times. The evening gala supports all the artists who make the troupe’s season possible. Proceeds exceeding the net goal will go to the troupe’s Next Generation Fund. Co-chairing the gala (which honored Timothy O’Leary, the troupe’s former general director, who left at the end of June) were Cathy and Jim Berges and Marsha and Bill Rusnack. Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, one of the nation’s leading opera companies, enjoys renown for inventive new productions sung in English, featuring the finest American singers accompanied by members of the St. Louis Symphony.

Bill and I have been involved with Opera Theatre Saint Louis for almost 20 years and have known and loved Tim O’Leary since his first day here in 2007. This gala was all about Tim and so, along with our co-chairs, Cathy and Jim Berges, we wanted it to be a very special event in his honor.

CAP & GOWN BALL Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

A

lumni, friends, supporters and guests of the students in College Bound recently gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis for the annual Cap & Gown Ball to celebrate those students’ bright futures. College Bound provides academic and life support to promising students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and helps them achieve bachelor’s degrees and successful careers. This year’s large number of attendees enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before dinner and a roster of speakers, including special alumni speakers.

College Bound is something that is truly transformative and really revolutionary. I really do feel like they allowed me to access the best versions of myself, until I really believe in my dream, to believe in my ability to achieve what I want to do. It’s just transformative justice.

Saint Louis Zoo

A ZOO ADO, SWINGIN’ IN THE MOONLIGHT Photos and story by Diane Anderson

T

he Saint Louis Zoo recently hosted its biennial fundraising event, A Zoo Ado, Swingin’ in the Moonlight.

Guests were encouraged to don their party shoes – and to go bold and beautiful in zoo-tastic, creative, chic apparel. Also, generally, attendees enhanced their outfits with spots, stripes and scales, or rocked a fun floral print on a polo shirt or sundress. In roaming the zoo, guests discovered a variety of cuisine at food stations throughout the campus, with tastes ranging from savory to sweet – the zoo had everything covered! DJ Needles, DJ Micro, The LustreLights and Party on the Moon provided entertainment. Co-chairing the event were Kathy Federico and Jimmy E. Williams Jr. The event helped raise funds to save endangered species at home and around the world, as well as to help the zoo continue to be free to the public.

Zoo Ado is the largest single fundraising event of the summer!

We will raise over $600,000 so that we can continue to open our doors free to the public. It is the party in St. Louis to be at!

Bathing in Beauty

By Jake Spurgeon Photos courtesy of Mosby Building Arts

‌T

he words elegant and timeless don’t typically come to mind when one refers to the bathroom. However, with it being one of the most-used rooms in an abode, the time has come to rethink the way we design such a space.

Recently, a local homeowner wanted assistance with exactly that – a timeless, elegant master bathroom that reflected her specific taste, with a touch of glam.

Although the redesign didn’t involve moving major items, such as the tub or the vanity, the space did receive a fresh and opulent update.

That update included not only adding new plumbing fixtures but also revamping the shower and floor tile and installing a new stone tub surround – all in a unified porcelain tile that beautifully tied the room together.

This ritzy scene received a dose of visual interest with the tile work on the floor, which was purposefully installed diagonally to contrast the straight-laid wall tile.

The remodel tied the vanity top with the stunning

porcelain tile throughout, in addition to adding the lighting, mirrors and a fresh coat of paint – a neutral shade smartly pulled from a hue within the porcelain.

The chandelier alone, perfectly placed for easy visibility from almost any angle, was intended to make any visitor feel like a queen. Plus, stately sconces now flanking the marvelously detailed mirrors added the lighting necessary for preparing for the day. The dressing area was intended to give the lady of the house a bonus luxury space, with a comfortable spread where she can pamper herself. And the addition of a TV will allow her to catch up on the day’s events as she uses the room.

Working in the master bathroom involved a bonus: the opportunity to perform some kitchen updates, including new cabinetry and tile backsplash. The homeowner’s existing granite countertops were retained in the new space, allowing for an efficient and exquisite transformation.

Something Burrowed, Something hi

New

By Brittany Nay | Photos courtesy of Loft & Burrow

St. Louis-based residential and commercial design firm Loft & Burrow combines beauty and function in your home or business.

M

arrying beauty and function is paramount in every design project by Loft & Burrow.

The home and business interior design company was launched last summer by fellow St. Louis artisans Erica Karleskint and Juliette Nahrgang. “Beauty in nature, in people and in their lifestyle inspires our design,” Karleskint says.

“We are passionate about joining that beauty with functionality and giving clients a space that makes them more successful.”

The creative pair met in 2015 while helping redesign and relaunch local nonprofit resale shop Revive Thrift + Boutique. The duo instantly clicked over their design backgrounds – Nahrgang’s fine arts education and Karleskint’s experience in custom furniture designing at her and her husband Robert’s local furniture business, Anew Nature. “[Nahrgang and I] knew from then on, we had to continue working together,” Karleskint says.

So, after working for a designer in Webster Groves, Karleskint and Nahrgang decided to co-found their own design firm, Loft & Burrow. The year-old company centers on the pair’s passion for finding creative solutions to design spaces that reflect clients’ needs and wants in a way that’s both functional and beautiful. “We love modern Scandinavian style, but we have a pretty broad design point of view,” Karleskint says. “We even named our business with this in mind, from the ultramodern loft to the cozy bohemian burrow.”

Loft & Burrow can create unique spaces for every room of your home or business. The firm’s design process begins with a “getting to know you” consultation with the client. “We like to meet in the space to be designed and chat with you about how you would like the space to feel when you walk in [and] how you would like it to function,” Karleskint says. “[We ask clients:] ‘What does life look like in this space?’”

Karleskint and Nahrgang then craft inspiration boards, floor plans and furniture specifications. “The client is involved in the process as much or as little as [he or she] would like – everyone is different,” Karleskint says.

Loft & Burrow aims to source much of its furniture and accessories from local artisans and antique stores, including Future Ancestor, South Jefferson Mid Century Modern, The Green Shag Market and Plowsharing Crafts. “[St. Louis] is full of amazing artists and makers,” Karleskint says. “We also love our local flower and plant farms like Bowood Farms and Flowers & Weeds.” And the firm’s custom-made furniture and unique fixtures come from the Karleskints’ company, Anew Nature.

Among recent residential projects Loft & Burrow designed was a bedroom for two young sisters who desired more fun and functionality in their shared room. “We were able to give the clients a better room layout to fit their beds and dressers that worked for the girls to also have play space in the room,” Karleskint says, adding that the adorable, modern space was accented with lots of colorful, ruffled accents.

Recent commercial projects have included creating a fun, colorful yet calming space for local children’s therapy center Come Play, STL. Karleskint says the project was such a success that Loft & Burrow is again collaborating with the company to bring an even larger, dreamier space to life as the center expands.

In addition to full redesign projects for residential and commercial clients,

int and Erica Karlesk Juliette Nahrgang

Loft & Burrow offers one-time design consultations and staging services.

“We partner with real estate agents to come in to help their clients [stage] their homes to get ready to sell,” Karleskint says.

The firm also offers event and retail styling for everything from bridal showers to cocktail parties and pop-up shops. “It’s how we got our start, and working with a client on something so special to them is so fun,” Karleskint says.

And for out-of-town clients or those looking for a more affordable option, Loft & Burrow offers e-design packages. “[Clients] begin by sending us photos, room sizing and budget, and we will then create a custom design of the room,” Karleskint says. “They will receive, via email, inspiration boards, a specific product shopping list, color palette and a to-scale floor plan to show furniture layout and spacing. This way, clients have more control [and] can shop for the items as needed and afforded on their own schedule.”

Loft & Burrow also provides similar e-design services, as well as full design services, to Airbnb clients. “We have done so many Airbnbs …,” Karleskint says. “We have a good idea on what types of things to include to make the space most appealing to consumers so the B&B hosts have the best chance of [booking] their space.”

Whatever space they are designing, the team behind Loft & Burrow strives to create every client’s dream outcome, Karleskint says. “We want to make sure the space ends up looking and feeling better than they ever could have imagined.”

Short in Summer

By Kimmie Gotch

‌W

hen summer heat and humidity spike, we women want absolutely nothing less than long hair draping our shoulders, making us feel hot and sticky. The best solution? A new, shorter do!

Consider these four ideas on how to style shorter locks, regardless of whether you’ve already visited the salon or only just now decided to lose some length.

Beachy waves. Beachy waves remain a go-to style for any hair length.

Although this flattering style looks good on every woman, it looks especially cute and sassy with shorter hair. You can achieve this look with either a curling iron or even a flatiron. Make sure you add some texturizing spray to your tresses to make them appear even more tousled and beachy.

Low bun. This do comes in really handy on hot days. If your hair no longer

fits into a high pony, try a low bun. Use a hair tie and some bobby pins to secure this sleek, chic look.

Side braid. Using the locks that typically frame your face, do a regular, French, waterfall or even fishtail braid, securing it with a bobby pin behind your ear. This style not only adds dimension to your hair but also keeps it out of your face.

St. Louis’ Route seeks to alleviate poverty by selling ethically produced goods and educating the community on the impact of employment and empowerment.

n a world where single-use items reign and clothing often gets retired after a year or two of use, many people aren’t actively aware of where their everyday products come from. This weighed on the mind of Christina Weaver, who founded a company 10 years ago to help bring ethically sourced fashion to Missouri.

What is known today as Route started in Columbia as Mustard Seed Fair Trade. From its early days until today, the nonprofit has always been focused on smaller vendors and organizations that are just getting started, enabling them to have a more direct impact on the makers.

“We have always wanted to be – as far as design and look and items we’re purchasing – up to date,” Weaver says. “We’re giving people the option of buying what they would buy somewhere else, but just buying it safely and sustainably.”

After rebranding to Route three years ago to showcase a more midcentury modern, minimalist feel, Weaver and her team turned their focus on women’s clothing, jewelry and accessories.

The organization’s team split its time between Columbia and St. Louis doing pop-up shops and managing the Columbia

storefront. But managing people and driving back and forth proved to be both time-consuming and a lot of work, so Route closed the Columbia storefront last summer and moved her business solely to online – for now.

“It was great to be in Columbia for 8½ years, but it was time,” Weaver says. “It feels good to have contracted a bit as a business and focus on who we are and what we’re doing.”

Currently, Route sells in St. Louis, does free St. Louis delivery, pop-up shops and occasional home parties, and sells goods online.

At shoproute.org, visitors will find a carefully curated selection of women’s fashion items and accessories. Each piece has been carefully selected to fit with each aspect of Route’s mission. These pieces come from partnerships Route has established via social media, word of mouth in the fair trade community and often the vendor reaching out to Route, which has a vetting process for the partners that includes a series of emails, phone conversations and a requirement, when possible, of video or a photo of the factory.

Current pieces on the website include a bright tunic T-shirt made in Nepal by women rescued from sex trafficking; a gorgeous purple skirt that’s part of zero-waste Cambodian-American clothing line tonlé; and the chic Rosario jumpsuit, handmade in Peru.

“It’s not just what looks good and fits with our curated line,” Weaver says. “It’s also maximizing the impact.”

Weaver seeks products that will help people who most need employment, like women coming out of trafficking, the disabled and others, in mainly third-world countries. This plays into the “know the route” aspect of the organization’s mission. On the website, a graphic shows the process: Makers are safely employed by Route’s partner organizations, which flows into Route curating a modern and impactful line. From there, customers purchase from Route to sustain employment and let each piece be a symbol of empowerment and a story. “We create Routes for relationships that change lives and change the world,” reads the last step of the Route process.

Weaver also started a branch of Route this year that’s secondhand, still keeping with the carefully curated attitude when selecting pieces for it.

The organization is in what Weaver calls a “transition year,” and though it’s downsized considerably, the mission of making a difference remains. Right now, it’s just Weaver and a few part-time staffers, along with salespeople who help when they can.

“It’s neat working for a company that has such a focused mission because it just draws in the best people,” she says. “We’ve worked with passionate, mission-focused women and men, and it’s been great.”

Weaver is quick to give credit to Jessica Penner, who co-founded the Route brand with her in 2015.

“She’s very creative, and the visual part [of Route] is really hers,” Weaver says.

Route has been well-received in St. Louis – particularly South City – as well as within bigger cities on the East and West coasts.

“People get excited about the look of the brand and what we’re carrying,” Weaver says. “Every time people hear about what we do, they’ll tell us how they’ve been looking for [a brand like Route].”

For the second half of 2018, Weaver’s focus is on the online store’s featured pieces and what else to bring in for the cooler months.

“We took some time off at the beginning of 2018 to rethink how we wanted to do business,” she says. “We’re thinking through what our buying looks like for us right now and how we keep that fresh-looking. There’ll be some products we haven’t carried before in the fall and holiday season.”

As for her long-term goals, Weaver is open to seeing where Route takes her – with one overarching goal in mind.

“We want to help people curate their own conscious closets so they feel good about every piece they put on,” Weaver says. “That’s the goal. We want to make women feel as beautiful as they are and create positive impact with what they own.”

For the Redbirds, WHAT’S IN THE CARDS?

By Frank Cusumano

Here’s what I really think about half a dozen things:

1.

I don’t think it would matter if Whitey Herzog or Tony La Russa were managing this Cardinals team.

The record wouldn’t be that much different. This isn’t about a bad pitching move in the 8th inning against the Cubs. This is about a team that lacks stardom. They don’t have it and haven’t had it for years. It hasn’t helped that for about the last two decades, the Cardinals have drafted either in the middle of the first round or late in the first round. The electrifying talent is usually gone when the Cardinals select! The solution is to package some of the young pitching for a franchise player. Then you hope you can sign him for many useful years.

2.

The Blues are the franchise that doesn’t want to remain complacent. They just had a heck of a July. By adding Patrick Maroon, Ryan O’Reilly, David Perron and Tyler Bozak, they changed the team’s look completely. We’re talking about an addition of 68 goals, 145 assists and 213 points. Blues G.M. Doug Armstrong knew things had to change. The one item that’s not changing is Jake Allen. He’s the key to the franchise. There isn’t a Plan B. Why not have Assistant G.M. Martin Brodeur take over Allen’s career? When Brodeur was the goaltending coach, Allen was really

August is going to be one of the best sports months we’ve ever had in our town. Imagine Tiger Woods hitting golf balls off Ladue Road! Can you envision Phil Mickelson 20 feet away from you in the gallery hitting flop shots or Dustin Johnson blasting drives? The 100th PGA Championship will never be forgotten. How about if Tiger makes this the tourney to culminate his comeback? Bellerive does set up nicely for him. Then, after golf, it’s time for the Bommarito 500. Almost every car you watched at the Indy 500 will be here for this race. And last year’s race was nearly perfect. Curtis Francois, who owns the track, and John Bommarito, who sponsors the race, have done an incredible job.

4.

How did we live without Netflix? So much quality.

So easy to access. So inexpensive. Very shortly, Ozark will come out for a second season. House of Cards Season 6 will also be released, without Kevin Spacey.

There’s a reason Netflix just passed HBO for most Emmy nominations. Almost everything Netflix does is quality.

Heaven for me sometimes is a three-episode binge-watch day where I don’t have to worry about timing a show, editing a feature or anchoring a sportscast.

These “Frank’s Food Picks” TV segments for KSDK are a lot of fun. I mean, we go to the hottest restaurants in town and eat only their signature dishes. That lobster roll at Peacemaker Lobster & Crab is insane. I think the muffuletta at Blues City Deli is memorable. I love that malt at Crown Candy. The response we get on social media is crazy. In fact, the other day, I was at the store, and I heard a woman tell another woman, “There goes the food reporter from Channel 5.”

We’re about to have our youngest child, Dominic, go to school. He’s going to major in finance and play baseball at Indiana State – hopefully in that order.

I know he’s not going to war, and he’ll only be 2½ hours away, but I hate it. I really do. It doesn’t get easier with each kid, either. I don’t want to go in the kitchen and not see him. I don’t want to go up in his room and think that he won’t be there. I used to wonder when I was younger why my dad always gave me a great greeting when I walked into a room. Always. I don’t wonder any more. I know exactly how he felt!

Childhood Obesity

‌R

eportedly, one in five children in this nation under the age of 18 qualifies as obese – a grave societal problem.

Clinically, obesity means having a body mass index (commonly BMI, a person’s bodily mass/weight divided by the square of his or her bodily height) at or above the 95th percentile, a complex statistical measure unto itself. Even more children qualify as “just” overweight – with a BMI between the 85th and 95th percentiles.

Several factors contribute to childhood obesity, including genetics, sleep issues, community design and safety, and individual metabolic differences. At base, though, obese children, like obese adults, usually consume too many calories and exercise too little.

No less significantly, children living in certain communities – including many urban zones characterized as “food deserts,” defined by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as “areas that lack access to affordable fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk and other foods that make up the full range of a healthy diet” – often have little access to fresh foods and eat diets low in quality and nutrition.

Children suffering from obesity experience higher

By Dr. Joseph Kahn incidences of chronic health problems like sleep apnea, bone and joint stress and pain, and Type 2 diabetes.

Moreover, childhood obesity often persists into adulthood, and such adults face increased risks for heart disease, certain cancers and adult-onset Type 2 diabetes.

Tellingly, obesity can impose a psychosocial burden in addition to a somatic one. That is, bullies often target children with obesity, who also frequently feel depressed and socially isolated from their peers.

All of these factors can then prompt increased eating, decreased activity and further weight gain – a vicious circle.

Preventing obesity can be much easier than treating it – so parents, consider these four tips for doing so: Limit fast food. Admittedly, that’s easier said than done with today’s busy familial schedules and, potentially, with both parents working. So plan ahead and prepare nutritious edibles easy to grab on the go, as a counterbalance to a trip to the nearest convenience store or fast-food joint.

Modify diets as a family. Poor diets usually generalize to more than one familial member, so rather than singling out your child, work on making dietary

adjustments together.

Eat meals also as a family. As with everything else, parents, your children learn from your example, so emphasize good eating habits – and then illustrate that emphasis in your own dietary conduct.

Make sure your child remains active and exercises plentifully. To accomplish this, limit electronics – socalled screen time in general, whether it involves a computer, a television or a handheld device – which promote a dangerously sedentary lifestyle.

Your child’s pediatrician likely monitors his or her height and weight at each routine checkup, which makes the perfect time to discuss BMI, diet and exercise patterns. Aim to address any potential weight-related issues before they become more challenging problems down the line.

The CDC provides invaluable information on this topic on its website. More information and a listing of pediatricians near you also appears at mercy.net/ laduenews.

Bellerive Country Club braces for the biggest sporting event in the metro area’s history.

A

lthough his usual views involve pristine greens and rolling fairways, Mike Tucker now watches as trucks and forklifts rumble past his office windows. As director of golf at Bellerive Country Club in Town and Country, Tucker has a workplace that resembles a construction site these days as final preparations occur for the 100th PGA Championship from Aug. 6 through 12. “When you see the village going up – the grandstands, the corporate chalets, the merchandise tent – you really understand that this is a huge global event,” he says.

After officials from Bellerive, PGA of America’s Gateway Section and Baseball Hall of Fame member Ozzie Smith presented a case in 2011 for bringing the 100th PGA Championship to St. Louis, PGA of America, which organizes and runs the championship tournament, announced its choice of the venue in December 2014. Thus, Bellerive’s subsequent transformation began about two years ago, when staff from PGA of America set up trailers to serve as a base camp in the country club’s parking lot. Ticket sales opened about a year ago and reached record levels as golf enthusiasts

38 August 3, 2018 | LadueNews.com

snapped up the opportunity to be part of the PGA’s historic centennial tournament.

“This event will be viewed by almost half a billion people,” Tucker says. “It’s probably the biggest thing since the 1904 World’s Fair [Louisiana Purchase Exposition] in terms of international exposure for our city.”

Visitors will arrive via shuttles from remote parking locations and enjoy their first views of the country club’s driving range from an elevated walkway beside the 45,000-square-foot merchandise tent and pro shop. As they continue along the walkway, visitors will quickly access the practice range and greens.

“We’re making it very easy and convenient to arrive and get to the course,” Tucker says. “We’re confident that we can accommodate the crowds while still providing the feel of an intimate setting.” He notes that because of security and traffic concerns, no spectators will be able to park at the country club, adding: “We’ve had wonderful cooperation with municipal and state law enforcement in taking safety precautions. The shuttle rides are only about 20 minutes from the parking venues, and security

screenings will occur at the parking area before people board the shuttles.”

The thousands of spectators will watch the game’s biggest names compete for the cup on Bellerive’s historic course, which last hosted the championship in 1992. Michael Block was a star-struck 16-yearold golfer and fan at that tournament. This year, the Parkway Central High School and University of Missouri-St. Louis graduate will be on the course, competing alongside golf’s current heroes.

“I never thought I’d be playing at Bellerive in the PGA Championship as an adult,” Block says. “This has been a dream of mine ever since the date and location were released. It’s going to be amazing to be playing on a course and on grasses that I’m familiar with.

The course is just perfectly maintained – a first-class venue.” Block is the head golf pro at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California.

As a club professional, Block qualified for the PGA Championship three times in the last five years, finishing in the top 20 from a field of 312 golf pros who competed to play in the championship tournament. In the last four years, he has played in 15 PGA tournaments and five

Hit These Links,Too! Golf fans who attend the 100th PGA Championship Monday, Aug. 6, through Wednesday, Aug. 8 will have more to look forward to than watching some of best in the sport compete. Honored St. Louis Cardinals legend and Gateway PGA REACH Foundation president Ozzie Smith will serve as “Host City Champion.” His PGA REACH initiative, in partnership with Bellerive Country Club, is a national program that inspired the arrival of two PGA major championships to our city: the 2013 Senior PGA Championship and the 100th PGA Championship in 2018.

Special themed events will include: Monday, aug. 6: opening Monday at the 100th Pga Championship major championships, and as the 2014 PGA Professional National Champion, 42-year-old Block automatically qualifies for the annual Professional Championship tournament until age 60.

“This tournament will be special, though,” he says of the 100th PGA Championship.

“This time, I’m bringing my family along, and I’ll have high school and college friends cheering me on.” It will be the first time Block’s wife and sons, ages 11 and 13, visit his old stomping grounds in St. Louis.

Jay Delsing, a native St. Louisan, professional golfer and owner of Jay Delsing Golf, is also excited about the upcoming tournament. “This is far and away the biggest sporting event to ever come to St. Louis,” Delsing says. “The Bellerive course is one of the longest golf courses around, and the weather could be challenging. Not only is the heat intense here, but [also] the weather could make a difference in preparing the greens, and that can change the way the balls roll. But Bellerive is a straightforward

course that doesn’t require 50 practice rounds to understand.”

Delsing and Tucker both encourage golf fans to take advantage of the $35 tickets for the practice rounds on Aug. 6 through 8.

“You’ll see a lot of great golf, and the players will be close enough that you’ll get a really spectacular display of the power of today’s professional golfers,” Delsing says. “The speed and distances they hit will just make your head spin.”

During the 1992 PGA Championship at Bellerive, Tucker’s brother, Jerry, was head golf pro at the club and played in the tournament while a young Mike Tucker caddied for him. “I’ve experienced other tournaments during my career, but there’s only one 100th Championship,” he says.

“This is special, and it’s part of who we are at Bellerive. It’s bringing people together unlike any other sporting event.”

O

n occasion, Nancy Schapiro enjoys a doubleheader – not of baseball games or movies, but rather fitness classes.

Schapiro has found numerous ways to stay active since moving into an apartment at The Gatesworth nearly 2 ½ years ago.

During the week, she regularly takes group classes, sometimes even challenging herself by attending two separate sessions within a single day. “I take them every day that they are offered!,” she says proudly. And on the weekends, she catches up on cable news programs while logging miles on the treadmill in the community’s top-of-the-line fitness center, which is outfitted with Keiser equipment specially designed for seniors.

“From its inception and opening in 1988, The Gatesworth’s philosophy has been to provide an environment where active seniors are invigorated both mentally and physically,” maintains Kathy Davis, resident program director.

At The Gatesworth, residents can choose from a wide variety of instructor-led fitness classes that target balance, endurance and strength. Offered five days a week, classes range from line dancing to water aerobics and water ballet, held in the community’s indoor saltwater pool. The Gatesworth also marries mental and physical fitness through offerings like chair yoga, meditation and a twice-weekly adapted Tai Chi class, which counts Schapiro as a devotee.

For William Richter, who joined The Gatesworth community with his wife this past winter, developing and sticking to a fitness regimen has become crucial to recovery. After undergoing cardiac bypass surgery last October, Richter spent four months in rehab at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital. Once his stint was complete, he sought to continue the exercises that he had learned on his own, and The Gatesworth’s wellequipped fitness center has allowed him to do just that.

“They have a very nice fitness center here,” says Richter. “I’ve been able to put together a routine that tracks my rehab program quite well.” Three times a week, Richter hops on the NuStep cross trainer to work his upper and lower body, then moves on to free weights and freestanding balance exercises, before winding down with stretches.

For seniors living at The Gatesworth, however, staying active doesn’t necessarily mean staying indoors. The community’s picturesque grounds offer walking paths that are perfect for a casual stroll or for more serious exertion.

In addition to participating in fitness classes, Schapiro also goes for daily walks around The Gatesworth campus, soaking up the scenic surroundings and breathing in the restorative fresh air.

“I don’t drive any longer, but it’s good to get out for a bit,” she says.

“Sometimes I walk by myself, or with friends. It’s so pretty here.

There are lovely flowers planted all around, and two ponds with baby ducks. We all watch out for the baby ducks.”

If golf is more your game, then The Gatesworth’s putting green is the ideal spot to spend an afternoon. An avid golfer, until he was sidelined by arthritis in his hand, Richter frequently grabs his putter and joins his wife on the green. He has even taken to entering into The Gatesworth’s monthly putting contests, triumphing on his first attempt. “I only won by a stroke!,” he quips.

Because The Gatesworth cares equally about residents’ mental engagement, the community also runs a host of programs, like its weekly current events discussion group, designed to stimulate ideas and conversation. Residents interested in more global affairs can join The Questers, a rotating group of area university professors and academics who lead hourlong symposia about pressing international issues.

“What’s most gratifying about these two offerings is the stimulation our residents bring to the meetings,” shares Davis. “The academics frequently comment that the questions and observations from The Gatesworth’s lecture audience are as challenging as any university classroom!”

Davis sees the same level of enthusiasm during the community’s St. Louis Icon Series, themed luncheons spotlighting notable members or experts from the city’s myriad arts, cultural and educational institutions. “The love of learning amongst our residents is apparent,” she affirms.

“That’s really why I came here,” says Shapiro of The Gatesworth’s programming. “After my husband died, I became kind of isolated in my house. But there are so many activities.”

“People can be as active as they want here,” Richter adds. And that’s the beauty of independent living at The Gatesworth: the freedom to live as you wish, on your own terms.

Dinner ...

A

fter more than two years of serving ramen and more on Cherokee Street in St. Louis’ Benton Park West neighborhood, the popular restaurant Vista Ramen recently dropped the “Ramen” from its name. That change involved others: Vista served its last bowl of ramen in July and retooled its menu to showcase dinerinspired new American fare.

“We wanted to be able to reach a wider audience with the type of food we were doing and have more of a neighborhood feel,” chef-owner Chris Bork says. “We just want to provide an atmosphere for anyone to come.

Someone can come in and get a burger or have multiple courses for that whole dining experience.”

To coincide with the changes, co-owners Jeremy and

By Mabel Suen Casey Miller instituted minor physical renovations; the noodle bar was removed and cut into tables, for instance. The space now seats 30 guests, with four more seats at the bar.

From the former menu, guests still can order a few old favorites, including Korean fried chicken on a Hawaiian roll with fish-sauce pickles; pork ribs with crab caramel and peanuts; and a cheeseburger with fishsauce pickles, shredded iceberg lettuce, Kewpie mayo and American cheese.

Another recent Vista Ramen special also made it into the fold: hush puppies with mole and cotija, topped with sweet corn from Bohlen Family Farms in Perryville, Missouri. Bork also incorporated into his new menu the veggie burger from Mothership

(inside nearby Earthbound Beer) with the addition of Thousand Island dressing and Muenster cheese.

Highlights from the brand-new set of offerings include a roasted sweet potato appetizer topped with balsamic vinegar, mint and duqqa – an Egyptian condiment made of a roasted mix of sunflower seeds, pistachios, almonds, coconut, cumin and coriander.

New entrées include a smoked brisket Bolognese with tagliolini, Parmesan, toasted cornbread crumbs and basil.

“We’re kind of completely changing the menu,” Bork says. “In a sense, we wanted to come up with something that was approachable and comfortable and slowly gain people’s trust back. So hopefully in two months, we’ll be totally immersed into doing the food we want to do.”

General manager Aaron Stovall says guests can still choose from an ever-evolving curated selection of local canned beers, wine and foodforward cocktails. New cocktail options include batched concoctions such as Grandma’s Garden Party, a refreshing beverage made of fresh-pressed watermelon juice, Leopold’s Summer Gin, elderflower liqueur and citrus, topped with soda. So regardless of whether you want to revisit an oldiebut-goodie or something new from Vista, make sure to do so before catching The Realistic Joneses from Rebel and Misfits Productions.

Vista, 2609 Cherokee St., St. Louis, 314-797-8250, vistastl.com

‌Story: Bob and Jennifer Jones have new neighbors on their quiet little street. When John and Pony, also named Jones, stop by to introduce themselves, Jennifer is kind of happy to see the new owners of the house across from theirs. “I liked when it was empty,” says Bob, by contrast.

Bob’s having medical difficulties that have prevented him from returning to his local government job. He relies on Jennifer to see that he takes his proper medication, although he has an odd way of showing gratitude.

Actually, Bob’s a rather quirky fellow in many respects.

He doesn’t have anything on John, though, who seems to have invented bizarre behavior with his own lengthy list of peculiarities. He sometimes works in heating and air conditioning, for example – when he’s of a mind and if he doesn’t forget an appointment.

What he really likes, though, is debating the purpose of life or insisting that Bob not look at “his” part of the sky. A bit territorial is John.

Pony tries to make a few pennies here and there with her greeting card business, although she laments to Bob and Jennifer that people don’t send cards anymore.

For her part, Jennifer is gradually being worn down by Bob’s relentless pessimism, as well as his most unusual affliction, which saps him of all energy.

John finds Jennifer rather attractive, as does Bob with Pony. It isn’t love, mind you – it’s just physical attraction and the thrill of something new for neighbors each named Jones. They’re trying to be realistic about everything, but they each have secrets which must be maintained lest the cat get out of the bag. That would be unfortunate.

Highlights: Rebel and Misfits Productions, which specializes in the offbeat and the challenging, is in fine form with a fitfully funny yet increasingly serious presentation about the lives we live for ourselves and for others. Edward M. Coffield directs this lively interpretation of playwright Will Eno’s funky story in studied, controlled fashion, eliciting marvelous performances from his quartet of accomplished players.

Other Info: Eno says he wrote The Realistic Joneses because he “wanted to really just write a naturalistic and realistic play,” according to Wikipedia. His dialogue does have a naturalistic flow, in that one can’t really predict what each character will say next, especially the two men.

There’s also the ingenious sound design assembled

by Ellie Schwetye, which reflects the stark progression of Eno’s words from hilarious to poignant to an unsettling existential conclusion. Going from Peter, Paul & Mary and the Carpenters to more introspective, downbeat tunes can accomplish that.

Coffield’s savvy cast finds the dark humor as well as the sadness in Eno’s beguiling script, not only delivering some ridiculous-sounding but effective

dialogue but also pacing their responses in finely measured, metered rhythm which adds an extra layer of absurdity to these unorthodox conversations.

It’s deliciously macabre, for instance, when after explaining Bob’s very rare condition, Jennifer looks at John and says, “Do you have a hilarious punchline about that?” Or when John suspects something going on between his wife and Bob, and he pounces around a patio table like a predator going in for the kill.

Alan Knoll’s calm, detached demeanor as Bob underscores torrents of uncertainty in the character’s psyche, which Knoll shapes exceedingly well. As Jennifer, his real-life wife, Laurie McConnell, works as much with a glance or a glare as she evaluates sundry situations as the most practical and “normal” one of the quartet.

Artistic director Kelly Hummert amusingly portrays Pony as a bit of a flower child and a wide-eyed wonder who just basically schlepps through life in tandem with her peculiar and unsettling husband. Certainly, Isaiah Di Lorenzo displays an unnerving menace in John’s unconventional approach to most everything, especially throwing off otherwise normal conversations and topics with his skewed outlook.

All members of the quartet take turns commanding the stage with brittle and brave renderings of four lost souls careening through space under the canopy of the starry sky above their abodes. You’ll likely be thinking about The Realistic Joneses long after you leave them to their dubious devices.

Soul MARK WITZLING

ART and

M

aryland Heights artist Mark Witzling’s Intellectual Rigor immediately strikes the eye with its chromatic juxtaposition.

Created last year, that 4-foot-square painting – in oils and mixed media on a wooden panel – balances largely ashen vertical swathes on its left three quarters or so with a scorching column of reds and oranges down its right side.

With its grays recalling clay-heavy loam and the remainder of the painting almost ablaze, Intellectual Rigor suggests a clash of elemental proportions, earth versus fire. Coincidentally, the painting’s creation did involve a dualistic afflatus, Witzling relates, albeit not one involving classical Greece.

“Intellectual Rigor is part of a recent series of abstract oil paintings inspired by my interpretation of the loss of truth in public discussion,” he says. “When both sides of an issue neglect the truth, truth becomes obfuscated. The painting reflects the way truth becomes buried beneath layers of obfuscation. I use oils, cold wax medium and graphite to build up multiple layers, and then excavate back into those layers to reveal portions of the truth beneath.”

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Image courtesy of Mark Witzling

In his artistic métier, it bears noting, Witzling mentions the inclusion of certain of his works in “the first book about this medium”: Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts & Conversations, a recent, award-winning Squeegee Press trade paperback by Rebecca Crowell and Jerry McLaughlin.

On any given work, Witzling continues, after layering, he “use[s] a variety of tools and processes to move and remove portions … This process repeats many times until there’s a deep sense of depth in the final painting. I rarely use brushes in my process, instead using a variety of palette knives, pastry scrapers, rollers and even old credit cards to achieve the desired results.”

Witzling – who holds a bachelor’s degree from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and, of all things, a Master of Business Administration degree from Boston University – says that his “art has been placed in spaces from California to New York, Florida, and as far away as Berlin and Mumbai.”

He also admits to enjoying a busy 2018. In March, for instance, one of his works won the second-place Award of Mastery in two-dimensional art at an area art fair.

Shortly thereafter, in April, he traveled to the commune of Orquevaux in northeastern France, where, as part of a monthlong artist residency and grant, he “painted alongside selected artists from countries around the world.”

“I have five paintings in the ‘Sky’s the Limit’ show opening Aug. 3 at OA Gallery in Kirkwood and running through the end of August,” Witzling also notes, adding that he’s not only taking part in the Art Fair at Queeny Park over the Labor Day weekend but also showing in the emerging artists booth at the Saint Louis Art Fair in Clayton from Sept. 7 to 9.

Oh – one other minor detail about Witzling’s busy 2018. In April, before his jaunt to France, the Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design introduced him as its new executive director.

Local artist-towatch Yvonne Osei curates an intriguingly recursive and über-inclusive mural project at COCA.

I

n such divisive times, few endeavors, artistically, can rival the unifying power of a mural, and COCA – known only to sticklers as the Center of Creative Arts – is even now hosting such an exercise in unification.

“Let Me Help You Make a Mural,” which opened June 9 in that University City Loop facility, is curated by Yvonne Osei, transmedial artist and COCA’s inaugural curator in residence, with Israeli-born, St. Louis-based artist Edo Rosenblith.

Osei, it bears noting, has lately been one busy lady, having won the Saint Louis

ei

!

Visionary Awards’ 2018 Visionary Award for Emerging Artist in April and also having recently jetted back to the metro area from Paris, as well as preparing a solo exhibition titled “Who Discovers the Discoverer?” at Clayton’s Bruno David Gallery starting Aug. 31.

In discussing the expansive mural, Osei first addresses what inspired it. “As a curator, my interest is to engage COCA’s audience in fresh and unconventional ways, while finding opportunities for the visual arts to influence and be influenced by various aspects of the organization,” she says.

“My aim for the exhibition is to nurture a visual experience that promotes ‘active’ engagement of the audience we serve. The inspiration was to create a handson experience for viewers and to hopefully encourage a deeper understanding and appreciation for the process of art making as they engage the artist.

“This communitycollaborative exhibition was conceived to blur the boundaries of art making and art engagement.”

Osei also explains the endeavor’s title – specifically, whether shee and COCA intend it to be interpreted as the artist extending an offer to the public or vice versa. “‘Let Me Help You Make s O ne a Mural’ ’ itself suggests a n o Edo Rosenblith and Yv willingness to collaborate,” she says. “The title purposely embraces ambiguity, as the exhibition develops through various visual interactions between the artist and the audience.

“One can think of the entire exhibition – the creation of the mural – as a process to be engaged in and not just a product to be viewed. Both Rosenblith and COCA’s audience are constantly shifting and changing the visual narrative of the mural with the white marks they leave behind on the black Millstone Gallery walls.”

She also explains the factors that led to choosing Rosenblith as the “guide” for this work, as well as his duties as guide.

“I approached Edo Rosenblith for the solo exhibition in February,” Osei relates. “I had been familiar with Rosenblith’s work from Washington University, where we both pursued our MFA degrees.” She commends him for his “ability to address various subject matters” across all ages and his willingness to tackle what Osei cites as Rosenblith’s first communitycollaborative

creation.

Few strictures govern visitors’ contributions to the endeavor, which covers a number of planar surfaces throughout the gallery, Osei adds. “Upon walking into the gallery space, Rosenblith has handwritten guidelines on the gallery wall that have three simple options for gallery visitors participating in making the mural,” she says. Otherwise, within reasonable societal constraints, COCA welcomes all forms of content to “Let Me Help You Make a Mural.”

Since its opening, moreover, the collective creation has enjoyed a good deal of attention, Osei remarks, coinciding, as it has, with the opening of certain physical renovations at COCA and its hugely popular summer arts camp. “All of this has provided high visibility for the exhibition,” she says.

Osei also sketches how the mural has developed thus far.

“The idea was to engage a wide range of individuals of various ages, levels and forms of creativity, as well as from diverse academic, social and cultural backgrounds,” she says.

Various recent events, Osei continues, “brought in a lot of individuals ranging from board members, to staff members, to ballet dancers, to theater trainees, to summer camp children of all ages and so on, all who have participated in developing the mural in one way or another.

“Some of our summer campers are using the evolving mural as a form of sketchpad or journal. Other visitors have even approached the mural as a large coloring book, coloring away pockets of outlined drawings made by the artist. In many cases, Rosenblith reinforces, expands and blends in their ideas with permanent markers, making them a comprehensive part of the piece.”

Also scheduled as part of “Let Me Help You Make a Mural” were two “drawing marathons” – the second set for Saturday, Aug. 4 – allowing visitors to draw alongside Rosenblith. “The events have been intentionally designed to foster meaningful collaboration between the artist and the community,” Osei says. “And certainly, in the absence of the artist, gallery visitors can still contribute to the development of the mural during the open hours of the gallery until Aug. 26, when the exhibition closes.”

After that date, Osei states that “the work will not exist physically but only through documentation. It was conceived as a temporary site-specific mural that develops from June 9 to Aug. 26, 2018.

“We invite the community to attend the Aug. 25 closing reception, which will show the culmination of visual expressions from both Edo Rosenblith and all community collaborators over the span of close to three months.”

Finally – happily enough – Osei reassures art devotees about the robust memorialization of “Let Me Help You Make a Mural”: “We have professional photographers documenting the process of the mural periodically.”
