letters to our readers ‌THE LADUE NEWS STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS,

the Aug. 21 issue, for the past four months. Every person who is a part of the magazine has actively contributed to what you now hold in your hands. It’s been a true collaboration, one that, we hope, has respected the more than 30-year history of this venerable publication, while positioning it for the next 30 years.

When I was approached with the opportunity to guide the relaunch of the Ladue News, I immediately reached out to general manager Andrea Griffith, art director Dawn Deane and editors Trish Muyco-Tobin and Lisa de los Reyes to begin brainstorming.

We looked at what was working and also what wasn’t, understanding that Ladue News plays a special role in the life of our community, acting as a touchstone for readers and the people, organizations and companies that we cover.

With this new look and feel comes a renewed emphasis on strong editorial content and fresh, engaging design, from the beautiful new logo through the photo-focused page layouts. As you page through the issue, you’ll notice that we’ve broken the magazine into four sections: Abode (architecture and design), Style (fashion and beauty), The Daily (family, business and health), Arts & Culture (this one’s pretty self-explanatory) and Gatherings & Goodwill (events and parties). The last section is of particular importance. As a weekly publication with a heavy emphasis on charities and nonprofits, we have the unique opportunity to leverage this platform to do a great deal of good and we have enhanced and expanded our nonprofit coverage with this in mind.

Many of you are familiar with my work as the publisher of Feast Magazine and as part of this process, Feast and Ladue News are merging into one niche publishing group. Over the next month, the Feast staff will be relocating to the Ladue News offices, and as our teams begin to work in conjunction with each other, look for enhancements to both publications. To that end, I want to extend a very sincere thank you to Feast senior editor Liz Miller for lending her keen editorial insight and instinct to the process. As I mentioned, this is a collaborative effort and Ladue News is stronger because of the joint effort of all involved.

As the weeks progress, Ladue News will continue to grow and evolve. Turn to us for in-depth, meaningful content covering the people who set the tone for what it means to live well in the St. Louis area. We want you to reach for Ladue News with a sense of anticipation and excitement, which is exactly what all of us at the magazine are feeling now, as you turn the page and experience the new Ladue News.

WHEN I FIRST STARTED AS THE ASSOCIATE EDITOR OF

Ladue News five years ago, I saw it as a great opportunity to do something I love – listen to unique and interesting stories, and share them with others – in my hometown, the quirky, vibrant, big-small-town of St. Louis.

Through the years, I’ve been fortunate to hear many stories, both big and small.

They’ve included nonprofits that teach kids, feed the hungry, and enrich our hearts and minds with artistic expression. There also have been weddings and parties, gardening and beauty tips, and insights from the business and philanthropic leaders who push this region ever forward.

It is with renewed focus on sharing these unique and compelling stories that we prepared this edition of Ladue News. We hope that when you read the stories of Michael Palmer, who is helping lead St. Louis toward its future as a hub of technology and coding; of Amelia Freeman, who started a clothing line that brings fashion back to the basics; of Martin Goebel, a furniture designer who eschews the modern disposable culture – or any of the fascinating stories that we’re tracking down to bring you every week – you will take away a piece of inspiration or insight that will help you tackle the challenges in your own life.

With this issue, we also say goodbye to Trish Muyco-Tobin, who has been an editor, mentor and friend to the staff and contributors of Ladue News for the past eight years.

We wish her luck on her new adventure.

When you’ve finished perusing our pages, don’t wait until next week to get your next LN fix – we’re sharing fresh, new stories on our website, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram every day. Tell us what you think: either online, or by emailing me at lreyes@laduenews.com.

LadueNews.com | august 21, 2015

abscesses and periodontal disease are possible links to cardiac issues, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and pregnancy complications.

Since last summer, the JFK Clinic’s dedicated staff has treated 1,900 underserved or underinsured patients – about 10 kids or eight adults a day. The clinic will expand to serve almost 5,000 patients a year with the addition of five dental treatment rooms that are set to be completed within the next six months. As part of the expansion, support staff and a paid

part-time pediatric dentist will be joining the current staff of six general dentists, three volunteer pediatric dentists and dental hygienists.

Waite says the expansion is critical for the JFK Clinic.

“People are not finding ways that are easy or effective to get the dental care they need, and patients are ending up in the emergency room with a facial infection,” he says.

“There’s just so much need out there. We can hardly treat all the kids and all the disease we are finding.”

To support these crucial services, Mercy recently held its 12th annual Benefit for Mercy Kids Golf Tournament, as well as a Dinner Auction at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis.

The events raised more than $1 million for Mercy Kids, with part of the funds supporting the pediatric dental services and the JFK Clinic’s expansion. “We thank the individuals, corporations and the community, as well as the Mercy leadership, for helping bring attention to this need,” Waite says. “I’m extremely grateful, as I know it will benefit patients today – and tomorrow.”

Waite says that although it’s difficult to see children in pain, it’s a tremendously positive feeling to provide help and recovery. “When they come in, everything is scary because it’s new and different,” he says. “It’s a privilege to help somebody who is in so much pain and help them get back on their feet and smiling. At the same time, we know there’s always another phone call or another child who has more care to be done. It’s an ongoing problem that we’re working hard to make a difference in.”

hen a young patient came into Mercy’s JFK Clinic, its volunteer pediatric dentists quickly realized she had been silently suffering with dental decay in almost a dozen teeth. But after four appointments, the problem teeth were gone – and so was her pain. “She came in a shy, scared little girl,” says Dr. Stuart Waite, chair of the department of dental medicine and program director of the clinic’s dental residency.

“But when it was all done, her personality brightened up and shined. She was a different person.”

It’s just the kind of patient experience the Sisters of Mercy had in mind when they established the JFK Clinic in the mid-1960s. The group of nuns’ mission was to serve patients in a compassionate, healing environment, regardless of their financial situation. The clinic has carried on that mission, adding emergency dental care in the late ’80s to its comprehensive medical services, which include internal medicine, ob/gyn, pediatrics, outpatient and pharmacy services, and hospital admissions at Mercy Hospital St. Louis.

But it wasn’t until last year that the clinic expanded its dental services to include a full range of preventive adult and pediatric dental care, from dental hygiene including X-rays, checkups, cleanings, sealants, fluoride and disease prevention to diet and nutritional counseling.

A typical visit to the JFK Clinic begins with a dental hygienist meeting with the patient to review his or her history and to discuss any health concerns or fears. Next, Waite says, “We take X-rays, provide a cleaning and consult with one of our doctors to develop the best treatment plan and move forward, depending on the patient’s needs.

Some needs, such as kids with 10 or more severe cavities or abscesses, require a hospital visit under general anesthesia, and we provide follow-up care at the clinic.”

Prevention is particularly important in pediatric dental care. “It’s critical to catch problems early on before they become complex health needs,” Waite says. “Kids miss school, sleep is interrupted and they have difficulty concentrating when there is mouth pain. Parents miss work and sleep if problems are allowed to grow into bigger problems. It’s difficult on the family dynamics.” And kids with dental issues usually grow into adults with dental issues. “We want to turn the tide and get them on the road to dental health early so they have the chance for much greater success in the future,” he says.

When patients’ mouths are healthy, it benefits their overall health. “There is a connection between oral health and total systemic health,” he says. “Patients with inflammation or infection in the mouth are more susceptible to serious medical issues.” Waite says infections such as

ercy Health Foundation sends a special thank you to the 12th annual Benefit for Mercy Kids Golf Tournament and Dinner Auction cochairs, Greg and Nancy Stubblefield, and John and Julie Mozeliak.

In turn, those co-chairs are grateful to the community for its support of Mercy Kids. “Supporters of this event are generous because Mercy is meeting the needs of the underserved throughout our community,” says Greg Stubblefield, who is also a Mercy board member. “I’m proud to be part of an initiative that positively impacts the lives of so many children.”

John Mozeliak added that coming together as a collective group and raising crucial funds for pediatric dental services at Mercy was the main goal of the event. “This event has seen tremendous success for more than a decade,” says Mozeliak, who is also a foundation board member. “I am honored to help such a worthy cause and truly appreciate all who helped make this successful.”

wice a year, interior design blog Calling it Home invites 20 designers from across the country to take part in the One Room Challenge to transform a space in just six weeks. This past fall, Jessie Miller of Jessie D. Miller Design participated in the challenge, transforming the master bedroom of a Sappington home. A shared appreciation for the drama of black walls brought the homeowner and Miller together for this master suite design. “We both gravitate toward the dark and moody,” Miller explains.

The master bedroom in the home was somewhat of a challenge for the designer because the ceilings are unusually tall – 12 feet – for a room that doesn’t have many windows. “It felt top-heavy, so my goal was to make it cozy and cocoon-like,” Miller says. She added “a ton” of molding along the top of the walls to take the ceiling down a bit and installed panel molding and oversized chandeliers to bring the space together. Miller’s client, a businesswoman with an appreciation for art, travel and fashion, was open to all of the designer’s ideas.

Many pieces in the space, including the bed, were shipped in from New York. Miller worked with two photographers to decorate the space, Los Angeles-based Stephanie Vovas and New York-based Nicole Cohen. St. Louis artist Ted Collier was commissioned to create the room’s focal art piece, Shadows, which is nestled in between bookcases. The minimalist brass bed came from Vielle + Frances in New York, and the carpentry and custom mill work was done by St. Louis-based Architectural Elements.

Design Speak

Susan Block, owner, The Designing Block

By Nancy Robinson

A

sign on the front door of The Designing Block in Clayton simply reads: “Your husband called. He said you could buy anything you want.” This is the first indicator of owner and designer Susan Block’s sense of humor. Inside the shop, her style and personality can be seen in a range of products, from fun, colorful wall decorations and striking artwork to elaborate textiles from French fabric house Manuel Canovas. We recently caught up with Block at her chic Central West End condominium overlooking Forest Park to get her views on decorating and interior design, entertaining at home and what’s new at The Designing Block.

What’s your interior design aesthetic? I always say, “Minimal and Susan Block are not used in the same sentence.” My style is eclectic. I love soft contemporary mixed with traditional with a touch of whimsy. If you buy what you love, it will always work together. You just have to be creative in making it work.

What are your favorite colors? My favorite colors are black and white, and everything in between. When you have neutral color, you can use so many accents. Paintings can add a lot of color to a room. I love black walls (everything pops on them); I love leopard and zebra prints. I love simple clothes with great bold accessories – and beautiful handbags.

What are some of your favorite ways to tablescape for a dinner party? I try to have different looks on my tables every time I entertain. I love fun napkins, votives, all sorts of vases and unusual serving pieces. You can use so many things besides flowers for centerpieces. Lots of ivory candles are a must. Once I figure out my flower arrangements, I choose which china I will use. I have 150 glass dinner plates, which go with everything. I also have 45 black-and-white St. Louis plates

by Spode, which I love. I try to use things that can go in the dishwasher, as it makes it so much easier to entertain. I usually do the food myself, but have learned to accept [help from friends is they offer to bring something].

What’s the key to a wonderful bed? A great, comfortable mattress, soft sheets, a fabulous down comforter and down pillows and a beautiful dust ruffle. I also like the weight of a blanket cover and a coverlet in luxurious velvet.

What do you love about entertaining in your home?

I love to entertain – from a casual coffee to a sit-down dinner for 12 or a buffet for 100. I donate a lot of dinner parties to different charities. You meet the most interesting people, and raise money for great causes. Some events are casual, some are formal.

T

ucked away in a small, one-story warehouse on Locust Street in Midtown St. Louis is a bustling artisan furniture workshop filled with slabs of timber harvested from trees that once grew in and around the St. Louis area. Inside, a small team of craftsmen transform walnut, cherry and white oak into the artful, modern residential and commercial furnishings sold at Goebel & Co. Furniture. Each piece they turn out – some 350 a year – is a distinctive combination of handcraftsmanship and computeraided design and manufacturing, which has placed the workshop at the forefront of the boutique modern furniture movement in the U.S. At the helm of the business is furniture designer and craftsman Martin Goebel, a Ladue Horton Watkins graduate, who has grown the small but steady business in the past few years. The youngest son of an architect and the grandson of a French pastry chef, Goebel says creative work runs in his family. “The creation of anything and everything has been a theme throughout my life,” he says.

Goebel found his calling at the College of the Redwoods in Fort Bragg, California, where he studied traditional furniture making. In 2002, he returned to St. Louis, where he designed and produced furniture for the next six years, while also earning a degree in fine arts from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

He subsequently headed east to earn a Master of Fine Arts in furniture design from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. During his time on the East Coast, he developed products for different furniture companies, before returning to St. Louis in 2010 to refine his personal style, which is distinguished by clean lines and elegant, minimalist pieces.

In 2011, he launched Goebel & Co. Furniture with Nick Leidenfrost and Noah Alexander, both local business owners who had been early customers of Goebel’s one-off furniture pieces. Today, Goebel

manages the company’s creative work, while Leidenfrost and Alexander bring business know-how.

“Nick and Noah are business and marketing people,” Goebel explains. “My background is in handcrafted product design and development. Their business savvy was the perfect complement for our business in its infancy.”

From the start, the company’s mission has been simple: to elevate quality, American-made modern furniture in the wake of the inexpensively made imports that flooded the U.S. market during the past two decades. The trend is so prevalent there’s even an industry term for it – planned obsolescence, or products made with intentionally limited life and function. “It’s the modern equivalent of fast food,” Goebel says. “Ideology is what motivates me to paddle the canoe backwards to a time in which furniture was not disposable.”

When conceptualizing new designs, Goebel says he finds inspiration in everyday life. “Design is a reaction to the study of life,” he says. “[At Goebel & Co.] we celebrate the simple activities of life through elegantly simple furniture. The real masterpiece of design is the life that occurs on and around our furniture. Our job is to facilitate those experiences.”

His all-time favorite pieces to design are dining tables – not the fancy type with delicate veneers and ball and claw feet, but sturdy tables and surfaces that bring people together for meals and get-togethers.

“I love dining tables above all other [furniture],” he says. “The modern pace of life rarely yields time in which we can truly connect with our family and friends, exchange ideas with peers and children.

The kitchen table [is] the location of family meals, homework and conversation.”

Goebel describes the Dempsey, the most popular production piece in his portfolio, as an ideal dining table for families. It’s made of black walnut with an ebonized white oak that sits on a dramatic base (rather than traditional legs). People can sit at any location around the table, so all of the space can be used.

Substantial heirloom pieces won’t rock or break, and can be handed down to the next generation.

In addition to dining tables, Goebel & Co. makes a full line of production furniture, including chairs, stools, cabinets, armoires, bed frames and more for residential customers, as well as custom pieces for clients. Goebel says he truly enjoys designing and producing these one-off custom projects, which are often deeply personal for clients.

“What I like doesn’t always translate into what

others like,” he says. “Our production furniture is a reflection of our experiences. Custom pieces are one of a kind and for a certain purpose, dictated by our private clients. In the end, they look and feel like them. “I love totally niche pieces that celebrate the minutia of life...bar carts and bachelor cabinets that hold watches, shoes, cologne. I once created a cabinet for a gentleman who loved bow ties – it’s fantastic. Who loves bow ties that much? We all have these little idiosyncrasies; it’s what makes us, us. Why not celebrate it?”

And word of Goebel’s custom work is spreading and resonating with clients in St. Louis and across the country. Last year, Goebel & Co. Furniture created 40 commissioned pieces for residential

and commercial clients, including Washington University, Companion Bakery, Brennan’s Wine and Tobacco and Urban Chestnut Brewing Co.’s Grove Brewery & Bierhall, as well as Tommy Bahama’s corporate offices in New York City.

In just four years, Goebel has built up a thriving business in his hometown.

“We’re a steady employer of local craftsmen and a purchaser of local subcontracting,” Goebel says. “I left both the west coast and east coast to return to [St. Louis], and my clients and employees remind me daily, through their actions, that I made the correct choice. In the short [term] and long term, I’m looking forward to expanding our local employment and sales.”

HOME: On The Cover Feature Story

Celebrating 40 Years

Janet McAfee

Through The Ye Ars

of St. Louis Real Estate

By Lisa de los Reyes

1975 – Janet Mcafee Inc.

is started by founder, Janet McAfee Weakley, in the basement of her family home.

1976 – Janet Mcafee Moves

150 North Meramec Ave. in Clayton

1978 – Janet Mcafee expands

to 25 agents, moving across the street to a larger building 149 North Meramec Ave.

O

n July 15, 1975, Janet McAfee Weakley reported to work at her job as a sales manager at the real estate company Cornet & Zeibig only to find a padlock on the door, barring employees from entering. The then-prestigious company had been bought two years before by a Texan man, who turned out to be a con artist, and neither the bills nor the employees’ commissions had been paid for at least a month, recalled Weakley, who passed away in 2007, in a 1998 letter.

Some of the agents encouraged Weakley to start her own company, and with a little convincing, she took the next step, adding a new phone line at her home, and launching Janet McAfee Real Estate out of her basement. “What fun it was in the basement with just the few of us,” she recalled in the 1998 letter. “I think each of us treasured being involved with the birth and early growth of the company—there was such opportunity for creativity, for striking out in new directions.”

Through the years, the company grew, merging with Thornhill Real Estate in 1987, Edward L. Bakewell in 2009, and St. Albans Realty in 2014. Today, Janet McAfee is headed by Weakley’s daughter, Janet Horlacher.

It has 90 full-time agents and 45 referral agents, who serve the St. Louis region from downtown St. Louis to St. Charles and St. Albans. Horlacher is proud that it is still guided by her mother’s core values: personal integrity, honesty and a supportive team environment. “I’ve read so many personal testimonials about my mom.

She had a reputation for being fair-minded and insightful,” Horlacher says. “Although the world has changed dramatically, and real estate has gotten a lot more complex, we still hold on to those core values.”

Horlacher joined Janet McAfee in 1995, and Weakley continued there until her death in 2007. “One of the things that is fun for me, is that our business is multigenerational,” Horlacher says. “We are selling homes to the grandchildren of our original clients. They are incredibly loyal, and it’s a privilege to be able to work with the different generations. Our agents also are becoming multigenerational—we have second-generation agents joining Janet McAfee, and that makes me proud.”

While Janet McAfee’s values remain constant, the company always strives to maintain Weakley’s entrepreneurial spirit and embrace new advances, Horlacher says. Among the most recent developments are an improved website, which now features informative videos about the region’s different neighborhoods to help relocation clients understand each area’s unique features. The company also has expanded into the St. Albans market, and is seeing an uptick in relocation clients seeking homes in St. Charles County. “The focus of the business has expanded westward, but the stronghold of Janet McAfee is still the Central Corridor,” she says. “We’re also seeing the market rebound in close-in neighborhoods like the Central West End, Clayton and Brentwood. To a tremendous extent, the millennials are looking for live-work-play neighborhoods and walkable communities.”

ou might not expect a staffer at a financial advisory firm to be particularly fashion-savvy, but then again, Katie Trout didn’t come to the finance industry in the traditional way.

This fashionista – whose closet holds a surprisingly well-organized array of bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer prints – studied fashion design at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago before pursuing a master’s in fine arts from Washington University.

Guided by her training in fashion, Trout curates her unique wardrobe mostly from vintage stores. She says the NCJW Resale Shop, which benefits the

National Council of Jewish Women, and ScholarShop, operated by The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, are among her current favorites. “Tailors are my best friends. I never pay retail for anything.”

There’s one exception to her rule, though: Trout is getting married in October and commissioned her wedding gown from an up-and-coming Los Angeles designer.

Trout’s other most-prized clothing item is a Philip Treacy couture hat that the designer created for her in London.

She met him when he presented to a millinery class she took at the Art Institute, and when she traveled to Europe a couple of months later, she couldn’t wait to visit his shop. When

Trout arrived in the tiny store, “he emerged from the back, where all of the (manufacturing was) going on,” she says.

“He remembered me from two months before. I’m sure he got a kick out of having a 21-year-old fan girl!”

It was by chance, at a yoga class, that Trout met the financial services professional who introduced her to that industry. Today, she is an executive assistant at Hill Investment Group. Trout loves being at a small office where she knows all her colleagues. And lucky for her, most of them are pretty into fashion, as well, she says. “It’s probably the only registered investment adviser firm like that,” she says. “We all talk about fashion.

They’re all very philanthropic, too.” The

team supports each other’s nonprofit affiliations – Trout recently joined the board of the Saint Louis Fashion Fund, and is chairing Gateway to Hope’s KaleidoHope Gala on Sept. 25.

Speaking of Gateway to Hope, the second thing you’ll notice when you meet Trout – after her brightly colored wardrobe – is the streak of pink in her hair. That’s been a part of her look for several years now, and started when she became involved with a breast cancer nonprofit in Chicago. “They did pink hair extensions every October, and eventually I decided to dye it that way and have it all the time,” she says, adding, “It’s also convenient that it’s my favorite color!”

This stay-in-place bronzing mist for arms and legs is soft and sheer. The aerosol may seem intimidating, but it’s easy to apply. Just lightly mist over skin and spread evenly with your hands. The color is natural, hides redness and unsightly veins, and evens out skin tone. It also will protect skin from the sun. We love that it doesn’t transfer to your clothes and easily washes off with soap and water.

Available at Sephora (sephora.com) and Dillard’s (dillards.com)

AROMAFLAGE

This all-natural fragrance is infused with essential oils and vitamins to help nourish and soften skin. It also conveniently doubles as a very effective bug-repellent. Aromaflage comes in two different and equally pleasing scents, and both are free of DEET, parabens and sulfates. Available at aromaflage.com

DIOR FIX IT

This brand-new three-inone concealer diffuses imperfections, diminishes pores and hides darkness; use it under eyes and on lips, and to improve complexion. It does not budge, crease or cake, and accommodates all skin types. Available exclusively at Dillard’s (dillards.com)

AND ONLY

By Julia Christensen

F

ashion designer Amelia Freeman’s St. Louis-based online women’s fashion collection, One, offers a seriously limited selection. On the first day of the month, a single piece – or occasionally, a single outfit – is released.

“One is a collection of contemporary-meets-classic women’s apparel with a unique niche,” Freeman says. “The inspiration was the idea that we can build our wardrobe with the classics, pieces that can be worn for years to come, and the simplification of everything else. We believe that life is always about quality, not quantity, and that this rings truest sometimes in our closets.”

The collection launched in March, when shoppers were introduced to the Margot+Char duo: a black, highwaisted, midi-circle skirt and a cropped tank top available in five colors. In April, a reversible yellow rain jacket called The Raina debuted. As spring turned to summer in June, One released a sheer blouse in three separate floral prints.

“My goal is that if you bought the entire One collection, you would have a variety of pieces that would become your staple, go-to items,” she says. “I keep all my designs, future and past, in mind while coming up with my latest piece, with the idea that they can possibly be worn together.”

Each item also comes with a digital style story that

44

LadueNews.com | august 21, 2015

showcases multiple looks with a variety of coordinating pieces to help customers finish the look. “I use a variety of different pieces that complement the One look for the month at a variety of different price points,” she says. Ultimately, her goal is to create an experience for customers.

Freeman, who earned a degree in fashion merchandising at Eastern Illinois University in 2009, began her career in the fashion industry with Nordstrom, first as an intern, then as an employee. A native of Jacksonville, Illinois, she landed in California before heading to St. Louis, where she worked for a locally owned boutique, before deciding to help her husband, Caleb, co-run his marketing firm. “This experience actually gave me wings and the courage to go out on my own,” she says. “I learned so much during those years. I started sketching and exploring the various paths I could take to reenter the industry that had my heart. Having the experience with writing blogs while at his company and managing various website projects, I gained valuable experience with what I would need to know to run an e-commerce store.”

These days, Freeman splits her time between St. Louis and New York City, but One is still produced in St. Louis, with Freeman’s lead seamstress, Lana Lauxman, and other team members who are just as dedicated and invested in helping the brand grow and succeed.

Freeman says One’s ideal customer is sophisticated and classic. “She admires trends, but prefers to buy pieces she can wear again and again,” she says.

One items are available in sizes XS through XL, but the company also takes custom orders. Prices range from $50 to $200 per piece. Offline, select One items can be found on The Fashion Lane truck, a St. Louis-based mobile boutique. Freeman hints that additional pieces may become available at more local boutiques in the future, but the website is her main focus at the moment.

“I have always shopped for pieces I knew I’d wear again and again, and my closet really speaks to that,” Freeman says. “When I decided to venture down this path, it was important to me to create a line that wasn’t just another collection, but instead, a new way of shopping that focused on minimalism, wardrobe-building and quality over quantity.”

Freeman also has advice for shoppers who may be ready to take the single-item plunge. “I would encourage them to fill their closets with staples, then grow from there,” she says. “Add a fun, trendy item that you can pair with your favorite piece, and then accessorize the two together. It’s always fun to buy something new, but it’s even better when you can recycle what you already own.”

BEAUTY : On The Cover Feature Story

Targeting Cellulite for the Long Term West County PlastiC surgeons

S

ome 84 percent of women have cellulite. For many, it starts in their 30s and progresses from there, often around the buttocks and thighs. Its exact origin is not completely understood, but there is likely a link to estrogen, notes Dr. Terry Myckatyn a board-certified Washington University physician at West County Plastic Surgeons. “Up until now, there have not been any technologies or therapies out there for long-term cellulite improvement,” he says. “When women get tummy tucks, liposuction, or CoolSculpting, there’s a perception that the cellulite will get better, but it’s completely unrelated. Those are treatments for fat, and do not treat cellulite.”

However, a new treatment for cellulite called Cellfina was recently approved by the FDA, and will be offered at West County Plastic Surgeons starting this fall. In clinical trials, 94 percent of

By Lisa de los Reyes

women were satisfied with their results one year after Cellfina treatment, and 99 percent demonstrated measurable improvement after one year. The process is done by a physician, under a targeted local anesthetic.

Cellulite is madeof dimples in theskin, created byconnective tissue between theskin and theunderlying fat, Myckatyn says.

Thedevice uses suction to pull away thedimple, thena specialized needleis used to release theconnective tissue, eliminating the dimple, heexplains. “We can treat a handful to dozens of dimples at a time. It can take as littleas an hour, orif there are many dimples being treated, it can be a couple of hours. It does have a littlebit of variable bruising, whichcan last froma few days to a couple of weeks. But thepatient can drive themselves there and back, they can go out to dinner that night, and workout that day. There may be a littletenderness orswelling, but there are really no restrictions.”

West County Plastic Surgeons will be the first practice in Missouri to offer Cellfina, Myckatyn notes. It is recommended for candidates with a normal body mass index of 32 or lower, and can be used in conjunction with other non- and minimally invasive contouring technologies, he adds. For example, Ultherapy uses ultrasound to tighten collagen and lift the skin for individuals who are not ready for, or want to touch-up a previous facelift.

CoolSculpting cools fat cells to remove them from the treatment area. The practice also offers laser resurfacing of the face, chest and hands; laser hair and vein removal; VASER; SMART; and HydraSolve liposuction; BOTOX and a broad range of facial fillers in addition to a full complement of aesthetician services. “We would always recommend that the patient be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon to try and find out what treatment is right for them to meet their goals.”

Dr. Ghazala

HAYAT

r. Ghazala Hayat was 10 minutes late for our meeting. She’d called me 30 minutes earlier to let me know, as she hates disrupting others’ schedules.

Her schedule, however, is a lot more demanding than most.

On a sweltering day, I met the doctor in her office just across Grand Avenue from Saint Louis University Hospital. Her role as head of neurology and psychiatry at Saint Louis University School of Medicine keeps her busy: One priority is seeing her patients and following up with them. Just as important is her work teaching other doctors and medical students, and researching illnesses of the brain such as Lou Gehrig’s disease (more commonly known as ALS). “Medicine is not for everybody,” she says. “It’s a very demanding job, and you have to give 100 percent of yourself.”

Hayat also spends time working with stroke patients, but admits that even the best and brightest medical minds still are trying to fully understand how to prevent stroke and how to best care for those impacted by it. “The brain is the most specialized structure in your body,” she explains. “We are still way behind in terms of understanding damage from a stroke. But if we can make a difference in people’s lives by helping them be free of pain or helping them be able to do more things or help the family, that is very rewarding.”

As I listen to her explain her work as a neurologist, it’s easy for me to see why she’s considered one of the most trusted and respected medical professionals in St. Louis. But the trust and respect the Pakistani-born Hayat has earned in the community extends beyond the doctor’s office.

For many years, Hayat has worked to foster an understanding between the Muslim community and other communities of faith. She is a board member of the Interfaith Partnership/Faith Beyond Walls, and serves as spokeswoman of the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis. In that role, she represents the foundation in the media through print interviews and radio and TV appearances. She also contributes to the Faith Perspectives blog on stltoday.com, covering a range of topics from spirituality to hot-button social and cultural issues.

It’s not the kind of prominence Hayat envisioned for herself growing up on the other side of the world. “When I was growing up, I was a very quiet person,” she recalls. “My friends would not believe I’m a spokesperson, because my life was very steady and I stayed home most of the time.”

Her father was an architect who designed medical buildings for the Pakistani Army. Her mother, she says, was progressive and exposed her daughter to literature, philosophy and poetry. Hayat’s studies took her to King Edward Medical University in Lahore, Pakistan, one of the oldest medical schools in South Asia, where she was awarded her medical degree in 1977.

I’ve gotten to know Hayat better this past year after she agreed to be a guest on a couple of my radio talk shows. She tells me that since 9/11, she has often had to field questions about Islam, some of them laced with suspicion and even anger. When I ask Hayat to share the one question she gets asked most, she replied without hesitation. “It’s ‘Why don’t Muslims condemn the violence?’ When people ask me that, I say Muslims are condemning violence, but people aren’t listening. Newspapers in Pakistan – editorial after editorial – and politicians and scholars are condemning the violence, but we are not getting that message out.”

Hayat speaks with authority and nuance on the subject as she has experienced life in both worlds. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1980, where she focused on building her career and her family. Six years later, Hayat began working at Saint Louis University. Today, her daughter is a pediatrician at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and her son is an attorney in Los Angeles.

Hayat gives credit to the U.S. for the opportunities her family has found here. Following the events of 9/11, Hayat says her family faced threats, and her kids were afraid of retribution. But the family also found compassion and empathy from non-Muslims through the various interfaith groups that rallied around them. Hayat says such instances

50

LadueNews.com | AUGUST 21, 2015

Faith is what you are, especially in Islam. When I wake up, when I go to sleep, it’s part of my faith. - DR. GHAZALA HAYAT allow her to feel supported by her faith, as well as by her adopted country. “When I am here, I try to defend Islam and defend the culture,” she says. “When I go back home to Pakistan, I defend America. Americans are great people.”

Hayat says everything she does in her medical career is never far from her faith. “I don’t think faith is esoteric or separate,” she says. “Faith is what you are, especially in Islam.

When I wake up, when I go to sleep, it’s part of my faith.”

After hearing that explanation, I better understood why Hayat apologized so sincerely about her tardiness for our interview: She believes it’s against her Muslim faith to make someone else suffer – even if the “suffering” in this situation is just me having to kill time for 10 minutes.

ith only about a month of summer left, family vacation season is coming to a close – but there’s still time to pack the car, load up the family and head out for a relaxing week at the beach or the lake or at a peaceful mountain resort. Our destination this year was in northern Michigan; and like most summer getaways, it should have been a beautiful, relaxing and uncomplicated trip.

It appears the family vacation has changed over the years. When my kids were younger, summer trips were

a blur of floatation devices, laundry, sunscreen and first-aid kits. Today, however, my kids – let’s call them Cranky, Whiny and Punch – are 17, 16 and 14 years old, respectively. I’m not teaching them to ride a bike, or worried they will run out in front of a speeding car (well, not too much). Now, my days are filled with something else, something I’ve wanted – no, begged for – for years, which is being alone. These days, that’s how I spend most of my time – alone. Phew?

Before we had even unpacked our bags, Cranky disappeared down the street on an old-school Schwinn bicycle, waving with one hand, texting with the other, and shouting over her shoulder that she will be in touch later.

Whiny wandered to a neighbor’s house to announce his arrival, while Punch headed to the golf course. I sat down on the porch with the book I’d been wanting to read for six months, cracked open a Diet Coke, looked out on the lapping lake in front of me, and forced myself to mentally fist pump: “Yes! This is what I’ve been waiting

for – peace and quiet.” It did no good – I couldn’t tamp down a sudden Cats-in-the-Cradle feeling.

If there had ever been a grass-is-always-greener moment in my life, this was it: My three children are two years and 10 months apart in age – Irish triplets. I have spent so many years knee-deep in diapers, glue sticks and Cheerios. I had prayed for that moment of calm; and when it arrived, I found myself calling Cranky to see if she wanted to get a manicure, texting Whiny about going out for ice cream, and asking Punch what he wants for dinner. I pushed the baby birds out of the nest, and suddenly, I wanted nothing more than for them to fly back.

This experience forced me to embrace the few seconds of calm and crack open my book. Of course, that’s when my phone pings with a text message—Cranky’s bike had a flat and she needed to be picked up—and then, as it turned out, she did want to get her nails done. I sighed, closed my still-untouched book and grabbed my keys.

Morning Mayhem

S

witching from the carefree, fun-in-the-sun days of summer to school schedules and children’s daily activities and routines can be a challenging transition. The best way to keep kids energized throughout the year is to begin every day in a positive way.

On the night before the first day of school, work with kids to prepare a few simple things to ensure early morning organization. Start by having children pack book bags and set them by the door, as knowing where things are will prevent last-minute frustra-

tions. Next, ask kids to plan their outfits; nighttime fashion decisions typically are less stressful than early morning selections.

Parents can plan tomorrow’s breakfast while children are doing their nighttime routines. Quick healthy meals are easy to make, but also mix it up with the occasional hot breakfast. You will feel good knowing that you provided a nutritious start to a busy day, and your kids will appreciate the variety.

day. If your children don’t get out of bed on time, a gentle touch and a soft voice is better than a huffingand-puffing wake-up call. Once at the kitchen table, the television should be turned off and electronic devices should be out of sight. Light conversation is good, but also respect silence if your kids wake up slowly.

Breakfast time is brief, but the effects are longlasting. Stay calm, provide structure and be helpful.

By minimizing morning mayhem, everyone starts the day in a good mood.

Ranking your goals for your divorce attorney

PHOTO BY SARAH CONARD‌

St a n g e L a w F i r m , P C

In most divorce cases, there are lots of issues at stake. Unlike other areas of the law, in divorce law where the parties have children, the court will ultimately have to make a determination about: Whether the divorce itself will take place (and in some cases, this might be at issue); How all marital property and debt will be divided (from the house and the retirement account all the way down to the pots and pans); How legal and physical custody will be ordered as part of the case; The specific custody schedule, including the days of the week the kids will be with each parent, including summer and holidays; The amount of child support that is being ordered, if any (including current and retroactive); How spousal support will work (including the amount and length of time or whether it will be ordered at all); and How attorney’s fees and court costs will

be apportioned.

With all of these issues at stake, it’s important that a party rank their most important priorities all the way down to their least important priorities. It is important that this happen early in the representation.

This will help allow the divorce attorney know how to best represent a client. In terms of settlement, if an attorney knows what is most important all the way down to what is least important, they can better engage in settlement negotiations on behalf of their client.

Likewise, if a case goes to trial and cannot settle, the attorney is best able to know what evidence to put on, the order in which to put it on at trial and the time to spend on it based on the priorities of the client.

Divorce litigation is unique in that there are so many issues at stake. An attorney can realistically spend lots of time and energy in areas that might not be that important to a client if they do not know

the client’s priorities. At the same time, a client can feel as if not enough time and energy is being spent in areas that are critical to them if their priorities are not made known.

This is exactly why sitting down and ranking priorities is an important task for a client to do from the very beginning. Then, if there are any questions or concerns, the attorney and the client can talk about it to make sure there is mutual understanding.

Future, The

LadueNews.com | AUGUSt 21, 2015

a

s technology advances, so does the demand for skilled employees to keep up with how it’s changing. enter Michael Palmer, founder of Code Red education and Code World order. Palmer, an educator who has taught kids of all ages from kindergarten through college, came up with the two programs to help bright young minds develop coding and computer programming skills and eventually land jobs in programming or information technology.

Palmer got his start in education teaching at a school in Cahokia, illinois, where many students were falling behind and weren’t prepared for a college environment – but Palmer saw their promise and took action. “They were hard workers,” he says.

“They wanted to get done with high school and start working to make life better for their families.”

When Palmer was laid off from his teaching job due to budget cuts, he found himself with a considerable amount of spare time – and he still wanted to teach. in partnership with his wife, ann, Palmer developed a curriculum for students across four levels of schooling – early elementary, late elementary, middle school and high school – that would give students skill sets in four areas, which Palmer refers to as S.t.e.M. (an acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

“We took over a computer lab and started teaching kids HtMl and web design,” Palmer explains. “Many of them had never used a computer, but we had great success. These kids went from computerilliterate to developers in three months.”

This was the beginning of Code Red education, the Palmers’ computer language education program that trains students in computer science and digital literacy skills such as game design, web development and how to build mobile applications as well as the basic principles of engineering.

“There’s stability in the S.t.e.M. market right now,” Palmer says. “Coupled with professional development and support, this prepares [students] for a high-demand, high-paying S.t.e.M. career.”

The curriculum was sent to St. louis area teachers,

too, so they could teach it in their classrooms. teachers who would’ve had to go back to school to learn how to teach these topics don’t need to with Palmer’s curriculum. “We get overwhelmingly positive feedback from teachers,” he says. “They see the value in it.”

Palmer continues to work with students of all ages, from children at Reed elementary in ladue to those enrolled in St. louis Public Schools. “We try to get more and more kids interested in this,” he says. “our high-school students have both the hard and soft skills they need for a work environment.”

Going forward, Palmer wants to take Code Red education far and wide. “We’re mission-focused and want to go into cities that need us,” he says. “We show students the door, but they’re the ones who walk through it.”

That’s the essence of Code Red education. Code World order is a side project of Palmer’s, and is considered a sister project to Code Red. in a world where making connections is so important, Code World order does just that. “These aren’t just highschool students we’ve trained – they’re adults with true technology skills.” Palmer says.

Code World order joins highly skilled professionals with fast-moving start-ups. it’s a database of the region’s S.t.e.M. talent, providing a one-stop shop of sorts for both candidates and employers. He wants Code World order to be the go-to for start-ups and institutions, eventually expanding to serve big companies like Monsanto.

Palmer hopes to eventually expand his programs to the rest of the Midwest and beyond (including cities like Chattanooga, tennessee, that have been trying to rejuvenate their image through technology), but for now, he’s focused on growing Code Red education and Code World order in St. louis. “as St. louis tries to make a name for itself as a technology city, we need human capital to do that, [and] it’s hard to draw people in,” Palmer says. “our solution has been to grow and retain our own talent [here], which will eventually allow us to grow and sustain St. louis.”

ou know what’s handy? Having a boardcertified orthopedic surgeon and hand specialist who’s the owner, founder and sole practitioner of his practice. Dr. Shawn Kutnik of Archway Orthopedics and Hand Surgery is one such provider. Dr. Kutnik has been practicing for three years, and recently decided to strike out on his own.

“When you come to see me, you’re seeing me,” Dr. Kutnik says. “Not many places can you see the surgeon directly for your problem. There’s no corporate oversight, no limitations to care for patients. I have the freedom to give my patients the care they really need.”

Dr. Kutnik completed his fellowship at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, after attending Cornell University and New York Medical College in Valhalla. After medical school, he completed a five-year general orthopedic residency at the University of Toledo Medical Center. Dr. Kutnik also has authored chapters in three textbooks on orthopedic surgery.

The new practice in St. Louis has three locations: Kirkwood, St. Louis and Frontenac. Dr. Kutnik brings to St. Louis a solid background in complex hand injuries, and says his patients will be respected, and their concerns addressed. “It’s important to have someone who can treat these issues.”

Dr. Kutnik has a small but dedicated staff, whom he says will know patients by their first names after one visit. “We’re very invested in the outcome of our patients,” he says. He adds his favorite part of the job is seeing his patients’ conditions improve. “I take a tremendous amount of pride in what I do,” he says.

“What I do has a significant influence on how people live their lives. When patients leave here feeling better, that’s the best part.”

Archway Orthopedics helps patients with all orthopedic conditions, while specializing in disorders, injuries and surgeries of the hand, wrist and elbow. This includes

treating everything from tennis elbow to sprained wrists to carpal tunnel syndrome. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, more than 7 million people visited surgeons in 2010 for hand and finger symptoms and complaints, with another 2 million for elbow symptoms and complaints. Dr. Kutnik seeks to help as many St. Louisans afflicted with these conditions as he can, and encourages people to come to him when they need a helping hand. “I think I’m filling a missing need for someone who needs help with complex problems.”

Dr. Kutnik is affiliated with St. Anthony’s Medical Center, St. Clare Health Center and Des Peres Hospital.

The restaurant is a casual spot tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street that’s reminiscent of a European café. As its name suggests, it also serves as an art gallery. Works by local artists adorn the walls and each is for sale. The

Creativity is also reflected on the restaurant’s food menu.

ichard Wagner spent a staggering 26 years from the start of his work on Der Ring des Nibelungen in 1848 until its completion in 1874, albeit with more than a decade between the second and third pieces of the four-opera epic. Karen Coe Miller, director of Union Avenue Opera’s (UAO) ambitious, four-year undertaking of the 1990 Ring Cycle adaptation by Graham Vick and Jonathan Dove, has put in considerable time and effort of her own on Wagner’s saga.

Friday, Aug. 21, is opening night for UAO’s presentation of Götterdämmerung, or The Twilight of the Gods, the finale of Wagner’s four-piece opus. While Wagner’s original effort came in around five hours in length – his entire Ring Cycle measured approximately 15 mind-numbing hours – the collaboration by Vick and Dove takes about three hours for Götterdämmerung.

Shorter, perhaps, but still a formidable assignment for the dozens of singers, musicians and technical artists assigned the task of mounting a rendition approachable for modern audiences less tolerant of such time commitments.

For Miller, the challenges of collaborating on UAO’s ambitious, four-year undertaking have been substantial, but the results have been equally Karen Coe Miller rewarding.

“I feel very honored to do this, even with the edited (Dove/Vick) version,” Miller says. “Union Avenue Opera provides this wonderful opportunity for performers, often young performers, to try roles they’ll be singing for a lifetime. Voices need to mature to take on a 100-piece orchestra in large houses. At UAO, we’re able to get younger performers started in an intimate setting. UAO is a great company and serves a very important function nationally.”

Now in its 21st season, UAO performs in the sanctuary of the Union Avenue Christian Church under the guidance of founder, artistic director and conductor Scott Schoonover. When Schoonover decided to do the Dove/ Vick adaptation, first performed in Birmingham, England, in 1990, he did his research not only on the adaptation, but also on possible directors who could complement his conducting of the massive Wagner Ring Cycle.

Needless to say, tackling something as mammoth as the Ring Cycle is a daunting undertaking. “Your first response about the Ring Cycle is excitement,” Miller says, “and then terror, because you have to do it. This has been a great

journey, though. Scott is a wonderful colleague and I’ve enjoyed living in and deepening my understanding of these pieces.”

Very long story short, the Ring Cycle focuses on a magical ring forged by the Niebelung dwarf, Alberich, from gold he had stolen from maidens in the Rhine River. Wotan, king of the gods, takes the ring from Alberich but is forced to hand it over to giants who are constructing Valhalla, the home of the gods.

Wotan’s grandson, Siegfried, slays the giant Fafner but, in turn, is killed himself through the treachery of Alberich’s son, Hagen. Siegfried’s lover, Brunnhilde (Wotan’s daughter), returns the ring to the Rhine maidens and then commits suicide on Siegfried’s funeral pyre, leading to Hagen’s death and the destruction of the gods and Valhalla.

Götterdämmerung is the conclusion of Wagner’s four-opera epic that was based loosely on Norse mythology, but Miller had to keep it in mind even when working on the first three operas, Das Rheingold in 2012, Die Walküre in 2013 and Siegfried in 2014.

“One of the daunting aspects when I got the call from Scott is that you don’t just go one opera at a time,” notes Miller. “That first year I had to do a ton of research and by the second year my projection for the end. I feel we’ve done a great job building up our imagery and choosing the thread of the story we were going to pull to fruition through the final opera.”

he Repertory Theatre’s new season is bursting with compelling drama, humor and heart. Veteran artistic director Steven Woolf – who directs the season opener, 2014 Tony Award-winning Best Play All the Way – shares what to expect when the curtains part this year.

Tell us about directing All the Way. It’s a huge project – 19 actors are playing 40 parts. It chronicles the first 11 months of the Lyndon B. Johnson administration.

St. Louis’ Favorite Italian Dining Experience.

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

Men on Fire ‌W hen you think of Guy Ritchie films, the movies that come to mind are stylish British indies like Snatch; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels; and RocknRolla. And while this is not his first foray into big-budget productions, it may very well be his best.

Ritchie accomplishes the almost impossible with this film: He brings a dark, stylish independent-film sensibility to a mainstream A-list studio movie.

The year is 1963. Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) is a thief, con artist and a spy for the CIA. His assignment seems simple enough: enlist the help of a beautiful East German woman, Gaby (Alicia Vikander) in finding her father, a nuclear scientist. Unfortunately, the Russians want the same woman for the same purpose, and they send their top agent, Illya (Armie Hammer), for the same task. The Cold War being what it is, the two countries force their agents into a cautious alliance; and together, the two men work to find their target.

Cavill must be breathing a huge sigh of relief as he seems to have avoided the “Superman curse.” He may be the only actor to have a career not inextricably linked with playing the iconic part. He is brilliant here as the suave Solo. Hammer finds redemption here, as well, still smarting from the Lone Ranger debacle. He plays the Russian hothead with the manly vulnerability of a screen-legend heartthrob. Vikander is breathtaking in her first big-budget movie. Together, the trio makes a talented, magnetic team. Hopefully, this is the first in a very, very cool franchise. It’s an 8.

THE END OF THE TOUR (COMING TO THE TIVOLI THEATRE, FRIDAY, AUG. 21)

Novel Friendship ‌Coming soon to St. Louis is this compelling story that recounts a series of interviews between Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) and iconic novelist David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel). The film is an acting showcase, garnering both Segel and Eisenberg Oscar buzz for their out-of-type portrayals.

Set in the mid-’90s, the film follows a week spent in Wallace’s Midwestern home, as well as surrounding cities, as he wraps up a book tour for his acclaimed novel, Infinite Jest.

Lipsky is eager to break out of his rut of interviewing pop stars, and Wallace seems the perfect subject for a probing intellectual study. Wallace, on the other hand, is a troubled Everyman, overly concerned with the impression he makes and unable to control his scattered thoughts. Together, the two travel to small Midwestern venues, where Wallace promotes his novel, while Lipsky observes the dark, reluctantly brilliant writer.

The film is good, but not great. It’s an interesting story, and a challenging acting exercise for the two men, who rarely share screen time with anyone else. Eisenberg gives the more predictable performance, while Segel certainly deserves to be applauded for his admirable stretch as an actor. It’s a 6.

Music

as Her Mu Muse se

For Marie-Hélène Bernard, there’s nothing like experiencing music performed by a live orchestra of worldclass musicians.

“The beauty of music is it doesn’t matter when a piece was written or if you’re hearing it for the first time,” she says. “I’ll hear the same piece 10 times in my life, and I hear it every time for the first time. It’s because we’re human beings capturing an experience, and because musicians play it in a certain way with a different conductor, and the interpretation is different. It’s like if you see the same play put on by different casts.”

This love for live orchestral music drew Bernard to her new position as president and chief executive officer of the St. Louis Symphony, whose season begins in September.

LadueNews.com | AuguSt 21,2015

But it hasn’t been the most rhythmic of paths to her career in music administration.

The youngest of five children, Bernard grew up outside Montreal, where her father had a large veterinary practice and her mother was a pianist and harpsichordist.

Then there was also her uncle, a famed musician who has trained some of America’s top organists and harpsichordists. Bernard was surrounded by music from a young age, but there was never any pressure for her to play professionally. Still, she dabbled in violin as a 6-yearold while attending a music school for her elementary education. “I’m sure we gave absolutely dreadful concerts,” she says with a laugh.

Performing might not have suited her, but seeing others onstage left her enthralled. She still recalls her first show at The Metropolitan Opera. “I was 13, and my brother was 15, and we took an eight-hour bus ride from Montreal to New York to see Tosca. I can’t believe my parents let us [go] at that age,” she says. “I remember we had really cheap seats, but I thought it was just fascinating.”

Bernard would go on to take a very different path, indeed, attending law school in Montreal and becoming a corporate and tax law attorney. But after a few years

practicing law, she came to a crossroads. “I missed music, and wanted to use my legal and business skills to help the field of music,” she explains. So, Bernard chose to earn her master’s in arts administration and make the move to America, where there were better opportunities in music management. And while her new career was quite a change, she says it was less of a leap than relocating and settling down in a new country. “It was a cultural adjustment, which was very fun, actually,” she says.

As it turned out, Bernard found parallels between practicing law and music management. “I fell in love with the creative side of law and how you address a challenge from a creative standpoint,” she says. “The answer might not be a in a book. [As an attorney], I helped successful business owners transfer assets to the next generation, and we do that in the symphony world, [too], bringing new generations to us and transferring the love of music from one generation to another.”

Bernard’s career in music management began in 1996 through residencies with the New York Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra and former Syracuse Symphony, which led to leadership positions with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, and an executive

director position with the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston. This summer, she took the helm at St. Louis Symphony alongside music director David Robertson.

As the top administrative leader of the organization, Bernard is overseeing all aspects of artistic planning and business development, ensuring that the symphony strategically fulfills its mission for the benefit of the community. She beams with excitement when talking about the 135-year-old orchestra, and her new role in sharing its music with everyone from kids to young professionals and beyond.

“David Robertson is a brilliant musician who is very willing to explore and experiment,” she says. “There’s an edge in this orchestra that’s very good – we have a lot of maturity and experience, and we have a lot of newer members, as well, who understand that they have a really big role in bringing great music to this community.”

Bernard says the combination of the quality of the orchestra, the people and the city – from its historically rich music culture to its strong philanthropic support base – makes the role a perfect fit for her. “All of the elements were in place for me to have the right skill set and the right philosophy to take the symphony to the next stage, and

look for a bright future.”

This fall, Bernard says the symphony’s colorful season – themed Music Tells the Story – opens with the return of lauded violinist Joshua Bell, followed by an homage to Richard Strauss, a program Bernard describes as “gorgeous, magical music,” the next weekend.

“Every single program has a connection to something that will speak to people in St. Louis – either in things that they’ve seen or read, or the dramatic value of the music,” she says. “We’re also connecting music to images – the visual elements combine with the sound and it really enhances the whole symphonic experience.”

The season continues with family, education and holiday shows, as well as Messaien’s Des Canyons aux Etoiles, a special piece the symphony will also play during its January tour in California, plus Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, which Bernard describes as “a piece that heals.”

Throughout her first season, Bernard hopes to get the whole city – and beyond – excited about St. Louis Symphony. “I really want people to come, not be shy about what they know [or don’t know] and just connect with what they feel,” she says. “You don’t need to be familiar with the music to enjoy it.”

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT: On The Cover Feature Story

Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria

T

he latest addition to the lunch menu at Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria made its national debut recently during an episode of The Next Great Burger on the Esquire Network. The Italianinspired Ciao Bella Burger was crafted by chef Katie Collier using meat from Bolyard’s Meat & Provisions, as well as caramelized onion, mushrooms, watercress and balsamic reduction among its main ingredients. Collier says the burger has “a lot going on, but it’s not overwhelming.”

During a viewing party at Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria last week, special guests watched the latest episode of the show and enjoyed the star burger, as well as other food and drinks. The Ciao Bella Burger will take its place next to some of the signature menu items at the restaurant, which serves lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday; and brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Collier notes that she and her staff enjoy preparing brunch, which features frittatas, lemon pancakes with

pomegranate and French toast with syrup, along with some of the restaurant’s pizzas and pastas. “We also do a Bloody Mary and mimosa bar,” she says. “We pickle a ton of veggies for Bloody Marys, so you can create your own.”

As cooler weather approaches, Collier also recommends patio dining. “I can’t wait for the beautiful fall weather so people can sit on our patio and not be too hot,” she says.

“We also have a big garden out there, where we grow some of our produce.”

Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria features lunch specials during the week, where patrons can get two dishes for

$12.95. This includes selections from the restaurant’s lineup of salads, pastas, pizzas and sandwiches. “It’s delicious and you get a ton of food, along with our house bread,” Collier says. In particular, she notes the artichoke salad, a popular choice, as well as the porchetta panino, which features roasted pork stuffed with herbs, salsa verde and a ciabatta bread. “There’s something for everyone here,” she says.

In addition to food, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria has happy hour drink specials all week, from 3 to 5 p.m. and 9 to 10 p.m. “There aren’t many places that do two happy hours a day, so we really like that,” Collier says. Happy hours also include small dish and pizza specials, like 6-inch pizzas for $6 each. “That’s a great value and is wonderful for groups, too,” she says.

Victorian Tea at the White House was the theme of a recent Daughters of the American Revolution gathering at Salem United Methodist Church in Ladue. The event was hosted by the organization’s Cornelia Greene Chapter to showcase its contributions to the community on the occasion of its 125th anniversary.

The hostess was “First Lady” Caroline Harrison (Peggy Swing), wife of the 23rd president of the U.S. Benjamin Harrison. Fine teas were brewed and delicate sandwiches were enjoyed by all. Guests were encouraged to come attired in the spirit of the 1890s by adding hats, pearls and lace to their outfits or to come in true period attire.

I love that the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) honors and preserves the legacy of our patriot ancestors. Just think, over 200 years ago, American patriots fought and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today. As DAR members, we can continue this legacy by supporting all veterans, historic preservation, education and patriotism. The Victorian Tea at the White House event was a unique way to keep history alive and interesting, while enjoying delicious food and wearing cute hats.
