Katie Yeadon, LN’s favorite fashionista, heeds that sage (and sagebrush) advice misattributed to Horace Greeley about going west, specifically to Montana, and in the process advises readers on what to pack for a visit to the Treasure State.

from the

EDITOR ‌WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, IT SEEMS THAT TRUCKS OF ALL SORTS – food, home décor, mini bars – have been spreading like wildfire not only nationally but also throughout the St. Louis region. If you are an avid reader of Ladue News, you have certainly read about a specialty truck or two within these pages; but I must say, you haven’t read a story like this.

Within this week’s Style section, LN contributor Julia Cain shares the story behind high-fashion mobile boutique Niki + Miche. This story, which starts on page 36, not only introduces our fashion-forward readers to a fashion-forward boutique on wheels but also shares a fun story behind the creation of the boutique and the friendship behind its leadership. It’s a wonderful example how these ladies turned lemons into lemonade.

Also within this week’s Arts & Culture section, make sure to read LN copy editor and staff writer Bryan A. Hollerbach’s story on page 59. This story featuring local artist Howard Jones showcases local talent and the true creativity that goes into each work of art.

Until next time,

Alecia Humphreys

or more than a decade, Epworth Children & Family Services has helped children through its biggest fundraising event, the annual Wine Dinner & Auction.

The wine dinner was initially a Family Support Network event that Epworth has continued since the merger of the two companies in 2012. For years, it has served as an opportunity for wine collectors to bid on rare and hard-to-find wines or to share wines from their own cellars with their table. As time went on, more and more attendees found they enjoyed wines that are paired with each dinner course by sommelier Jason Main, owner of The Wine Merchant, Ltd. in Clayton.

Because of the generosity of local distributors, restaurateurs, collectors and wine dinner attendees will have the opportunity to bid on rare and premium wines during the live auction part of the event. They will also be able to bid on and win trips and wine-tasting excursions. At the 2016 wine dinner, Epworth was able to offer an Oregon wine-tasting excursion, and it promises to offer exciting expeditions again this year.

The evening will include the five-course dinner with wine pairings, the live auction, a tax-credit paddle raise, live music by saxophonist Tim Cunningham and his band, and dancing.

Money raised during the wine dinner goes directly to supporting Epworth’s programs to further the mission of helping children, youth and families move toward self-sufficiency by focusing on health, housing, education and employment.

“We could not impact nearly 13,000 clients annually without the support we receive from the success of our wine dinner,” says Chris Jones, Epworth’s governing board chair, about the organization’s efforts across the St. Louis area.

Proceeds have also helped Epworth provide psychological testing and evaluation to 216 children, teach life skills to more than 700 youth who are in or have aged out of foster care, and shelter more than 200 youth experiencing michelle tucker, Epworth CEo homelessness or other crises.

Because there’s an ever-increasing need for the services Epworth provides, the organization continues to grow to meet those needs. Last year, the dinner raised more than $377,000. This year, Epworth hopes to exceed that milestone.

Epworth CEO Michelle Tucker says the wine dinner is an “unmatched opportunity for wine enthusiasts and novices to sample great wine and access exclusive items.”

“I’ve attended countless fundraising events over the past 10 years, but this incredible event continues to rank as one of the most memorable,” she says.

Dr. Gregg Berdy calls his co-chairing position an honor.

“As a wine aficionado, I always look forward to this event and sampling the rare wines that are served,” he says. “More so, however, I am proud to support the event’s fundraising activities that help sustain Epworth’s programs, which touch the lives of thousands of children and families right here in the St. Louis community.”

QUIET SPACE AT THE LAKE

By Robyn Dexter

W

hen Amy Studebaker’s longtime clients wanted design help on their vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks, she jumped at the chance.

Studebaker had been working with them for seven years and was eager to see how they would build and design their vacation home.

The entire home had a theme of various shades of white, so Studebaker continued the theme into the wife’s office.

“The home is on the water, so we wanted to bring in a fresh, airy feel,” she says. “We layered lots of whites and natural tones in the space, with little bits of color like the lamp.”

Studebaker did want the office to have a bit of a different feel from the rest of the house, however. They raised the ceilings up to 14 feet for a different vibe. Soft touches like the vintage desk make for a shabby-chic feel.

Make your season bright with these expert tips for holiday design projects.

F

or a less stressful, more joyful holiday season, local designers say there’s no time like the present to start planning your seasonal design projects.

“We’re already starting to discuss projects that we’re doing for holiday parties,” says Teddy Karl, principal designer at The Great Cover-Up in Ladue.

The full-service interior design boutique can help clients with small holiday projects, from decorating the Christmas tree and mantel in your great room, to designing table settings and centerpieces in your dining area, to full-scale holiday design projects throughout your home.

By late summer to early fall, Karl says it’s a good idea to contact your designer to begin planning holiday projects. “The earlier, the better,” he says, adding that timing is a particularly important factor if clients opt for fresh greenery when it comes to trees, wreaths and garland. “The trees will last in water, but the garland begins browning soon after it’s cut.”

Give your designer a list of your Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve gatherings to establish a time frame to plan around, Karl says. While some clients desire their Christmas tree to be in place for Thanksgiving, others choose to have different decorations for each holiday, he explains, adding that a fresh tree should be put up closer to Christmas if the client has a New Year’s Eve party.

And when it comes to holiday decorating this season, there are a number of trends clients can request from designers. “Don’t be afraid to pick a theme,” Karl says. The traditional red-andgreen Christmas color scheme works in traditional to modern homes, he explains, noting that different shades of the classic pair – such as burgundy and forest green – can be used to accent existing décor. “The Southwest theme will be popular again this year, with beautiful red and green plaid and velvet decorations,” Karl says.

“And if you don’t like red and green, that’s why they make gold and silver – metallics go with everything.”

The Great Cover-Up has a wide assortment of holiday décor to add to your collection or inspire new ideas. Among its special offerings are seven lines of Christmas china, including a monogrammed collection

by Lenox with a holly leaf pattern.

Photo from The great Cover-up The shop also has a range of themed ornaments, such as the 12 Days of Christmas collection from Reed & Barton.

The boutique will also continue to carry a customer favorite: holiday-themed foaming soap containers and guest towel sets, perfect for hostess gifts.

For special sales on holiday décor, The Great Cover-Up will be part of the annual Ladue Holiday Walk on Dec. 2. For more help planning and executing your holiday design projects and parties, the shop will host a series of holiday entertaining seminars this fall, beginning with Part 1, “Where to Start?,” at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 3 and 10 a.m. on Oct. 7. Next will come Part 2, “Getting Organized,” at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 and 10 a.m. on Oct. 14. The series will culminate with Part 3, “The Final Countdown,” at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 17 and 10 a.m. on Oct. 21. “We will gather and mingle with snacks 30 minutes before [each event],” Karl says, noting that the store also will hold its annual Holiday Tabletop event, featuring ways to decorate your holiday table, on Nov. 4.

“I love Christmas – every aspect of it,” Karl says. “We can help people purchase items at our store, give them design ideas or work on their design projects. We can help a little or a lot.”

ChaddoCk Furniture: Classic and Modern elegance The Great Cover-Up now offers furniture and lighting lines from Chaddock Furniture.

The Great Cover-Up has multiple pieces on rotation in the shop, as well as access to the full catalog of Chaddock furniture and lighting.

Clients can place custom orders, choosing from the style, color, wood, finish and distressing for each selection. “You can customize the furniture to your own style, or we can help you with recommendations,” Karl says. “I’m a firm believer that any furniture collection with the right fabric and style can be made to look more traditional or more transitional to fit any home.”

SepteMber art Sale The Great Cover-Up will host its biannual, two-day art sale on Sept. 18 and 19.

During the rare event, hundreds of pieces will be available from Paul Robinson Fine Art. Among the international art collection will be small- to large-scale, impressionist to abstract original oil paintings featuring people, animals, florals, landscapes and seascapes by artists including Jean-Pierre Dubord, Taylor Cox, W. Eddie, Joan Segrelles and Simonini.

Clients can request appointments to meet with Karl in the shop or in their home to determine the best scale, color scheme and style of a given piece to complement their abode.

“There will be traditional to transitional framed works by collectible artists,” Karl says, adding that the frames can be changed if desired. “Because it’s a two-day sale, clients can take home a piece the first day and try it. We want to make sure you are choosing something you’ll be happy with.”

Niki + Miche offers a sophisticated selection of women’s clothing on the move.

C

amille Dangerfield and Shavonne Webb may be St. Louis’ best example of turning lemons into lemonade – or at the very least, the most stylish example. Like the plot of a rom-com or the theme of many people’s personal nightmares, these two clicked because they had one terrible thing in common: the same boyfriend. What could have turned into a fight formed a long-term friendship that has morphed into a fashion-forward business.

Meet the owners of fashion truck Niki + Miche.

“Meeting over 15 years ago, after we unknowingly dated the same guy at the same time, we did what any two smart, girl-first and empowered young ladies would do – dump the guy and become best

36

August 25, 2017 | LadueNews.com

friends,” says Webb. “We turned what could have been a messy love triangle into lifelong friendship.”

That friendship has since turned into a business: Niki + Miche, a fashion truck that can be spotted around St. Louis. “Niki + Miche is a mobile fashion boutique that offers women’s contemporary clothing and accessories,” says Dangerfield, noting customers are greeted by complimentary sparkling wine and music while shopping. “Our 22-foot-long truck has wood flooring, a fitting room and an abundance of natural light … It kind of feels like a party – a very unique shopping experience.” She explains the name is a play on the two founders’ middle names, Nicole and Michele.

Although neither has a background in fashion, a

truck seemed a logical fit for the two. “My career has been in marketing, and Camille’s in finance,” says Webb, whom the company’s website describes as a lifelong lover of fashion. “Although this venture is a first for us, I’ve always dreamed of a career relating to fashion, and I would certainly describe Camille as a serial entrepreneur. This is a great fit.”

As for launching the truck, Webb says the idea was the easy part. “We soon discovered that everything else was going to be quite tough – you don’t know what things you’re ignorant [of] until the process begins,” she says. “Finding the truck was a task, but nothing compared to the strife of the build-out. At many points, Camille and I opted to complete some tasks ourselves.” She says the two found themselves

quite capable of working with the building materials, which rounds out the skill sets of both women and solidifies them as janes-of-all-trades.

Webb says “‘work to weekend’ is a great descriptor” of the styles found on the truck. While many mobile boutiques stir images of bold, trendy colors and fast fashion, Niki + Miche takes a sophisticated, upscale approach.

“Our items are accessible enough to wear to work and can also be accessorized for weekend wear,” Webb says. “Lots of transitional, multiuse pieces – we think that is important to women.”

Niki + Miche offers a plethora of items ready to upgrade your fall wardrobe. There’s the Glamorous Faux Fur Waist Coat in a luxurious shade of off-white or the on-trend Do + Be Black Open Shoulder Sweater Dress with its figure-hugging shape, both of which would be good fits for classic tastes.

Customers feeling adventurous can try the Blush Noir Blush Fringe Suede Jacket with its rock ’n’ roll details or the statement-making Glamorous Faux Leather Sweats, which take the athleisure trend to

new heights with an all-over metallic finish. Also, visitors to the truck who like an item should buy it: Dangerfield and Webb don’t restock sold-out pieces.

So how are customers reacting to this luxe

truck? Great, says the team. “Often we hear that the shopping experience rivals superchic brickand-mortar boutiques, and the huge skylight takes away the ‘truck’ feel,” Webb says. “We initially thought that there would be a target age range,

[but] we’ve quickly realized that all women want to look and feel great at every age.” Occasionally, Webb says customers think the truck’s items are meant for special occasions, but she says that simply isn’t the case. “Women deserve to be fabulous every day and everywhere, even at the grocery store,” she says. “Skip the yoga pants and don a chic maxi dress.”

The Niki + Miche truck can be spotted around town for shopping on the move at ongoing events like Lunch Time Live at the Old Post Office Plaza in downtown St. Louis. Locals looking to shop at the mobile boutique can find upcoming events on the truck’s website or shop the truck’s curated collection online. Additionally, Niki + Miche can be booked for events like bachelorette or birthday parties, corporate events and more.

Oh, and what happened to the man who brought them together? “The confrontation was epic,” Webb says. “Hopefully he learned his lesson.” nikiandmiche.com

Learning From Churchill

‌E

ven as a child, I admired Winston Churchill. I was enchanted by his versatility. In more than 60 years in public life, Churchill was a soldier, painter, journalist, Nobel Prize-winning author and statesman.

But it was his leadership qualities that turned him into my idol. Personally, I have striven to emulate many of these qualities, and professionally, in my more than 20 years as a university administrator, I have worked to share Churchill’s example with students – because the virtues he upheld nearly 80 years ago remain vitally relevant today.

Here are a few of those virtues that serve as guides for me: Communication. Churchill was a gifted writer and orator. Those gifts served him well in 1940, when Britain stood defiantly alone as Hitler’s army blitzed Europe. Churchill’s stirring speeches helped deliver Britain from one of its darkest moments. Even as German bombs pummeled London and many speculated Britain’s fall to be imminent, Churchill’s words gave the British people hope and strengthened their resolve.

Edward R. Murrow, the legendary American broadcaster, remarked that Churchill “mobilized the English language and sent it into battle …”

Action. Great leaders are visible and hands-on.

Churchill kept a high profile during the war. He

preferred face-to-face meetings with his allied counterparts and made more than 25 trips outside Britain. He visited bombing sites to commiserate with victims.

Vision. In the decade before Great Britain declared war on Nazi Germany, Churchill was a lone voice calling for Britain to arm itself against Germany, but he was widely derided as a misguided, has-been politician.

The day Britain declared war on Germany, Churchill was invited to serve in the British cabinet – and eight months later, he became prime minister. That same bold vision was evident during his visit to Westminster College in March 1946, where he gave the “Iron Curtain” speech and outlined the strategy for winning the Cold War. Courage. When the German tide swept Europe, Great Britain found itself isolated and facing the world’s most formidable war machine alone. As Britain struggled to stay in the fight, some wondered if Churchill’s predecessor, Neville Chamberlain, had been right to try to appease Hitler. Undaunted, Churchill stayed the course. “You ask, what is our aim?” he said.

“It is victory, victory at all costs …”

Passion. Churchill married his courage with passion. He cared deeply about everything in which he was involved – writing, painting and affairs of state.

His relentless passion, optimism and determination,

By Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande

if not at all times with family, close friends and advisors, at least always in public, inspired those around him. Above all, Churchill was passionate about the special relationship between the United States and Britain.

As he closed his “Iron Curtain” speech, he said that if both nations worked together, “the high roads of the future will be clear, not only for us but for all, not only for our time, but for a century to come.”

I am a lifelong student of Churchill’s leadership. It has shaped me in the past, it shapes me now, and it will continue to shape me in the future.

“The future is unknowable, but the past should give us hope,” Churchill said.

Truer words were never spoken.

COMMUNICATION CONVERSATION

Dressing for Success

A

By Janis Murray

s summer ends, I reflect on male clients – ranging from age 21 to 65 – whom I’ve assisted in their search for employment. When clients are facing a job interview, I always ask them to bring in the clothes they intend on wearing.

The key to effective professional attire is to minimize distractions so the interviewer is drawn to the candidate’s face, the focal point of communication. So refrain from wearing plaids, paisleys and florals. This also includes ties with golf clubs, palm trees or any other recreational or political icon.

Remember, we are not going to the club for cocktails; we are trying to convince a company to invest in our talents.

Because of today’s increasingly casual style, it’s likely the 20- to 35-year-old crowd is tempted to borrow from dad’s closet. However, the executive power look – often, a blue dress shirt with a white collar and a yellow dotted or striped Hermès/Ermenegildo Zegna/Salvatore Ferragamo tie – may not play well on a young son, especially when paired with a collegegraduation Rolex and a pair of Gucci loafers.

Yes, I’ve seen this. When interviewing for a job, we need to look a bit like we need one.

The opposite involves the two most common mistakes I see: shirts made with inexpensive fabrics (so inexpensive you can see through them) and suits that don’t fit or are stained from previous wear. When the top button pulls or the back vents don’t hang straight, you’ve outgrown a piece of apparel.

Nobody who has attained a bachelor’s degree should wear casual dress to an interview. This includes a navy sport coat, khaki pants, St. Louis needlepoint belt and Sperry Top-Siders. Save that for casual Fridays once you’re employed.

Socks should be thin and knee-length to cover your legs when crossed. They should also be a solid color that matches shoes, which ideally, should be laced and polished.

Being trendy matters, but within reason. Reasonable: Flat front pants are in – pleats are out. Unreasonable: The slim suit silhouette on the wrong body. Pee-wee Herman was a comedic character, not a financial analyst or sales candidate. There are exceptions for more elastic career paths.

Oh, and forget about the current rage for pocket squares. They’re just too complicated.

Remember, we are not going to the club for cocktails; we are trying to convince a company to invest in our talents.

Summer Coursework

By Warren Mayes

‌Griesedieck Men’s Championship At 43, Wildwood’s Skip Berkmeyer is showing he can still manage a golf course.

Berkmeyer, in defeating Parker Goldman, captured the recent Griesedieck Men’s Championship held by the St. Louis District Golf Association. An MICDS graduate and recent graduate of Miami of Ohio, he was 4 and 3 to win his fifth Griesedieck championship.

Berkmeyer (who has played in 28 USGA events – winning three Missouri Amateur championships along with other statewide championships) also won the Griesedieck from 2003 through 2005 and in 2008.

He’s second only to legendary amateur Bob Cochran, who won eight Griesedieck championships.

“Five, that’s a good number,” Berkmeyer says. “I haven’t played as many districts over the years. I didn’t play in it for about six years, but I’ve been in this now for the last three. I’ll continue to keep playing in the tournament.

“I’m chasing Bob, I guess. But I’m going to enjoy this fifth one [for now].”

Missouri Stroke Play Championship Ballwin’s Sam Migdal solidified his standing as the top area amateur golfer by recording his second championship in a state tournament.

Midgal captured the 20th annual Missouri Golf

Association Stroke Play Championship at WingHaven Country Club.

He ended with a 285, two strokes better than Jeremy Franklin of St. Louis. Alex Cusumano tied for third with Travis Mays of Overland Park, Kansas, at 288.

Berkmeyer, the defending champion, shot a 289.

“It was good to win,” Migdal says. “It was pretty tough with the heat and all the good players in it.”

It was Migdal’s fifth time playing the Stroke Play Championship. His previous best finish was fourth.

Missouri Women’s Amateur Emily Goldenstein fell short in her effort to repeat as the state women’s champion, with Jess Meek ultimately crowned the 2017 Missouri Women’s Amateur champion at the 87th annual tournament.

Meek, who will graduate from the University of Missouri this December, carded an overall score of 219 (73-75-71) and tallied an impressive five birdies, eight pars and five bogeys in the final round.

Stolze shot a final-round 3-over-par 75, and Wahle shot a final-round even-par 72. Wahle fired off four straight birdies on Nos. 10 through 13.

Stolze’s previous best finish came at the 2016 AJGA preview at The Glen Club, where he tied for 23rd place.

On the girls’ side, Brooke Matthews of Rogers, Arkansas, earned her second career AJGA win after going wire-to-wire and shooting a final-round 1-over-par 73 to get to a tournament-total 7-under-par 209.

The University of Arkansas freshman-to-be carded 18 total birdies during the tournament and finished nine strokes ahead of second place.

The highest-scoring local girl was Brooke Biermann, a freshman this fall at Lafayette High. She completed the three-day event with a 12-over 228. Biermann won a showcase event in Chicago earlier this summer.

As kids get ready to go back to school, National Immunization Awareness Month is a good time to ensure the health of your entire family is protected.

s kids get ready to go back to school, parents need to make sure they’re up to date on their immunizations. And since August is also National Immunization Awareness Month, it’s a good time to ensure the entire family, regardless of age, is protected from infectious diseases.

“There are so many vaccines recommended for babies and young children, but proof of these is required for starting school and usually covered by insurance,” says Dr. Margaret Reiker, a BJC Medical Group physician at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. “Once you get into the preteen and teen years, the immunizations are still required for schools but not as rigorously.

Colleges may require certain immunizations for entrance, and after that, there are often no immunization requirements except for starting certain types of employment, such as in health care fields.”

Babies and children in the greater St. Louis area have a generally good rate of immunization compliance, says Dr. Rachel Orscheln, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine and pediatric infectious disease specialist on staff at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Because the dangers of childhood vaccines have been generally debunked by such authorities as the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most parents agree that vaccines are an important part of their children’s health care, Orscheln says. Areas of the nation where fewer parents have their children vaccinated have experienced outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as a recent measles outbreak in Minnesota, which carry far greater health risks than any posed by the vaccine itself, she adds.

“Pregnant women are generally very motivated to get any recommended vaccines and are keeping regular follow-ups in general for the baby, and so they usually are up to date,” Reiker says. The Tdap vaccine – which covers tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) – and the flu vaccine are recommended for pregnant women by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Other vaccines may be recommended by a woman’s physician based on her personal health and immunization history.

Two commonly missed immunizations among the young-adult population include the flu shot and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations. “The danger with missing the HPV vaccine is an increased risk of cervical cancer, rectal cancer and probably an increased risk of head and neck cancer in later life,” Reiker says.

Adults, especially older adults, also often miss important immunizations that can potentially save their lives. Dr. Steve Lawrence, associate professor of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine and an infectious disease specialist at Barnes-Jewish

Hospital, says: “It makes me sad that every year, I see patients in the hospital who are very sick – and sometimes dying – from influenza and learn that they did not get a flu shot that year. Even though getting a flu shot does not guarantee you won’t get serious influenza, it significantly reduces your risk. That extra protection is certainly worth a day or two of a sore arm.”

Lawrence notes that the flu vaccine may be the most misunderstood immunization available today. Myths remain, including the false idea that the flu shot can cause the flu. “For some adults, vaccination against pneumococcal pneumonia may be just as important,” he adds.

“The most important thing to realize about immunizations during this month is that we have learned a tremendous amount over the past two centuries since the benefit of the vaccination process was first developed,” Reiker says. “When George Washington immunized some of our soldiers against cowpox (which conferred protection against smallpox) in the Revolutionary War in a very crude way, this may have been one of the critical factors that helped us to survive and triumph then.”

According to Reiker, vaccines now prevent 3 million deaths each year worldwide and reduce the suffering of millions of people annually. “With every medical intervention, we must weigh the risk versus the benefit,” Reiker says. “But with the vaccination process, we make our bodies more resilient to so many ailments that killed our ancestors at a young age and that are still lurking in the world today.”

Immunization recommendations vary for individuals based on age, health history and overall health concerns. It’s important to discuss your individual vaccination needs with your primary-care physician. An overall guideline to recommended vaccines by age is available through the CDC website: cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/easy-to-read/child.html.

ignature Medical Group is the largest independent physician-owned, multispecialty group in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas. The group comprises more than 150 physicians across 22 specialties and subspecialties.

Dr. Benjamin Crane, a Signature Medical Group physician, specializes in spine care, including noninvasive and surgical treatments. Crane is a boardcertified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon.

He has been practicing for more than nine years and currently works at Premier Care Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in South County.

“I take care of all conditions of the spine, from mild aches and pinched nerves to bigger issues,” he says. “I want my patients to know that spine surgery is an absolute last resort. Nine times out

of 10, we can treat the issue without surgery.”

Crane notes that the majority of his patients are able to recover over time with treatment, avoiding surgery.

“We exhaust all other options first,” he says. “I treat my patients like I treat my family members and want them to get better as quickly as they can.”

Crane says that when patients initially come to the office, they may discover their individual issues aren’t with their spines, but with a shoulder or something else. Because the office caters to a group of specialties, though, someone will still be able to help.

“We’ll have someone who can treat you,” he says. “We have you covered.”

Dinner ...

E

xecutive chef Samantha Mitchell has debuted her first original menu at The Libertine.

Mitchell, who also runs the food truck Farmtruk, joined The Libertine in April. She’s since brought on an almost totally new kitchen team and executed a completely new menu.

Mitchell describes her food as rustic with simple, clean flavors; she’s also sourcing 80 to 90 percent of her ingredients from within 150 miles.

“I want people to get to know me through my food – even on the truck – this is that same type of approachable, simple, rustic fare,” she says.

Her favorite dish at the moment is country fried pork cheek: braised pork cheeks that are breaded and fried in the style of country fried steak, served on top of Illinois blue corn grits and topped with ancho-barbecue sauce and pork cracklins – “because why not [put] more pork on top of a pork dish?” Mitchell says with a laugh.

AUGUST 25, 2017 | LadueNews.com

Starters include an Instagram-ready venison carpaccio with fresh horseradish crème fraîche, salt-cured egg, garlic chips, summer black truffle and a mustard vinaigrette, and grilled black kale with homemade ricotta, grilled nectarines, toasted pine nuts and a Meyer lemon vinaigrette. “I like the idea of not forgetting that vegetables are important,” Mitchell says. “That’s the salad that I want to eat.”

Another standout appetizer is the pork belly – a ubiquitous menu item upon which Mitchell puts her own fresh spin. Such & Such pork belly is cured for 10 days, smoked in local cherry wood in-house, confited in rendered fat, and served atop a kohlrabi-fennel slaw with grilled peaches, homemade burnt chile oil, scallions and a drizzle of honey.

“It’s kind of traditional, but it’s fun and zippy with the slaw, and the smoke to bite through that with the sweetness of the peaches,” Mitchell says. “Basically,

By Nancy Stiles the way that I chose to use all these ingredients are off my list from the farmers, and then I fill in the gaps with other things. Like the ricotta – we could buy it, but the kids are learning back there. I’m trying to build a [kitchen] culture of not cheating and making really tasty, good food.”

Mitchell’s famous Sam Burger makes an appearance as well, but she promises it won’t put you in a coma.

A Missouri grass-fed beef patty is topped with Todd Geisert bacon jam that the kitchen stews down almost to the point of candying it, plus a sunny-side-up egg, pickled red onions, spring mix and Baetje Farms goat cheese on a brioche bun served with hand-cut fries.

Even the classic pork steak gets an unpretentious upgrade: It’s thinly sliced and lacquered with mulberry-lemongrass glaze and served with homemade kimchi-fried rice and a relish of roasted okra and shishito peppers.

In the Heights

Beverage director Ben Bauer has also debuted a summer cocktail menu, which takes inspiration from molecular gastronomy, but in an approachable fashion. You’ll find ingredients like nitro-muddled tarragon, peanut butter-washed vodka, herbes de Provence-infused gin, nitro grapefruit fingers and even an edible cocktail.

“The focus of the [cocktail] menu is definitely molecular gastronomy; you’ll see it in pretty much every cocktail in one way or another,” Bauer says.

Whether interested in grabbing some rustic grub or a molecular cocktail, make sure to do so before catching In the Heights from R-S Theatrics.

“I just want people to see my food. You don’t have to be a tweezer chef; I really like the idea of simple food done correctly and making it exciting,” Mitchell says. “I want people to come in and feel like family.

I don’t want to put out pretentious food. It’s kind of weird for me, because this is my first real executive chef role.”

‌Story: It’s a hot summer day in Washington Heights, a Latino barrio in New York City. Usnavi opens his bodega for business, and regulars stream in for coffee, latte and other drinks. While Usnavi’s cousin Sonny tells him about his latest entrepreneurial dream, neighbors Kevin and Camila contemplate a loan to keep their own taxi business afloat.

Their daughter Nina has recently returned from her first year at California’s Stanford University, where she’d received a scholarship. Camila and Kevin are very proud of Nina, as is the entire neighborhood, whose inhabitants view her as a success and likely to move beyond the barrio.

Nina has distressing news, though. She had to work two jobs to pay for expenses beyond tuition and thus could not keep up with her studies. In consequence, she’s lost her scholarship and decided not to return to Stanford. Adding to her stress is her mutually romantic interest in Benny, her father’s non-Spanishspeaking assistant, as she knows Kevin won’t approve of their relationship.

Others in the barrio include “Abuela” Claudia, the “grandmother” to many, who secretly has purchased a winning $96,000 lottery ticket from Usnavi. There’s also the beautiful Vanessa, who yearns to leave the home of her alcoholic mother for her own apartment and who likes Usnavi; Daniela, who owns the beauty salon where she and her employee Carla keep their customers current on local gossip; Graffiti Pete, a local struggling artist; and Piraguero, who competes with Mister Softee for the barrio’s frozen-treat business.

Claudia tells Usnavi that she’d like to share her winnings with him, enabling him to move back to the Dominican Republic, which he left with his late parents as a young child. Following a power outage and the subsequent vandalism of his bodega, Usnavi decides it’s time to close his shop and move.

His friends want him to stay, however, and help keep their neighborhood alive and moving forward.

Vanessa doesn’t want him to go, either. What will his heart tell him to do?

Highlights: R-S Theatrics has moved into its new home at the .ZACK in Grand Center with a triumphant bang, playing to already sold-out crowds with its faithful interpretation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s smashhit musical about the vibrant life in the Latino sector of New York City.

Other Info: R-S Theatrics artistic director Christina Rios has put together a cast composed primarily of Latino talent from throughout the St. Louis area for a production that, while not perfect, is engaging and enjoyable as it taps into Miranda’s buoyant optimism and infectious musical gifts.

By Mark Bretz

The present production is led by standout performances by Natasha Toro as Vanessa and Cassandra Lopez as Nina. Each has a stunning voice that quickly delivers beauty and power in two early tunes, “Breathe,” featuring Lopez and the ensemble, and “It Won’t Be Long Now,” sung by Toro, Jesse Muñoz as Usnavi and Kevin Corpuz as Sonny.

Muñoz is strong and convincing as Usnavi, the glue of the barrio. Marshall Jennings displays his own fine voice as the ambitious Benny, pairing smoothly with Lopez on the number “When You’re Home.” Carmen Garcia fills the role of Claudia like a hand fills a well-worn glove, while Kelvin Urday delights the audience as Piraguero, the ice cream vendor and strolling troubadour.

Anna Skidis Vargas is entertaining as the effervescent Daniela, and Gabriela Diaz is a delight as Daniela’s slow-on-the-uptake assistant Carla. Jaime Zayas and Maritza Gonzalez nicely portray Nina’s loving, but iron-willed father and his faithful, but independent wife.

Audience reception to R-S Theatrics’ production of In the Heights is doubtless greatly satisfying to Rios and her colleagues. For the most part, cast and crew make for a pleasing and captivating evening which showcases local Latino talent as well as the universality of what it means to be a neighborhood.

harles Brotte built Maison Brotte winery in 1931 in the heart of southern Rhône in the French appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) of Châteauneuf-duPape. Since then, through the success of its wines and the growth of exports, the winery has grown to four properties throughout the Rhône region: Domaine

Barville, Domaine Grosset, Château de Bord in Laudun and Domaine de l’Aube. It also works with well-known northern Rhône wineries to produce such wines as Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, to name two. Along with their properties and other wineries, Maison Brotte produces wines from most regions of northern and southern Rhône – currently exporting to 90 countries.

Today, the wineries are managed by Laurent Brotte, the founder’s grandson. From the heart of southern Rhône, Maison Brotte tries to showcase the noble grape there, grenache – the base for most of the wines in the region, although many blending grapes are permitted.

Maison Brotte owns approximately 148 acres with some of the best soil vineyard sites. It believes in quality with sustainable farming practices and all harvesting by hand.

In 1952, Charles Brotte developed a special bottle that twists slightly, representing the mistrals that batter the grenache vines in southern Rhône. A local ceramic competition led to this, involving taking bottles when they were being made, burying them in sand and

twisting them. Maison Brotte named this wine Fiole du Pape and made a special cuvée, or blend of several vintages, of Châteauneuf to create a house style, as Champagne does with its nonvintage Champagnes.

In 1970, Maison Brotte built a museum on its estate to display old winemaking tools and educate visitors on the Rhône region, especially Châteauneuf-du-Pape. After renovations in 2002 and 2014, it remains both educational and fun, presenting exhibitions “in the footsteps of the winegrower.” Now augmented with an audio guide in many languages, the museum welcomes around 35,000 visitors yearly.

Food Pairings: This wine’s lushness will pair well with bigger-textured seafood, scallops and salmon, as well as barbecued shellfish, pasta with cream sauces, chicken, pork and salads with some citruses.

Artist HowArd Jones reworks common domestic tools for A deligHtfully dizzying exHibition opening todAy in tHe delmAr loop.

B

ut for the bonhomie with which he discusses home and garden hardware – loosely, the inspiration for his new exhibition, “Think Rethink” – one might be tempted to suspect local artist Howard Jones of waging a vendetta against hammers, rakes and similar implements of destruction, to borrow a trope from troubadour Arlo Guthrie.

“Think Rethink” opens with a 6 p.m. reception this evening, Friday, Aug. 25, at the Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design’s Delmar Gallery and runs till Oct. 22. “We hope to feature 50 or more works,” says Stefanie Kirkland, the center’s director of exhibitions, of Jones’ “Think Rethink.”

“His work is best considered as a collection or group, and the effect of each piece is magnified by their relationships to one another.”

In Jones’ hands, the quotidian turns categorically queer. Case in point – what looks like a 2-inch paintbrush begins with a dark wooden handle, extends through a battered brass ferrule and then ends not with bristles of one sort or another but with the left hand of a mannequin.

Now, Jones’ website, howardjonesartist.com, establishes his professional bona fides as a printmaker (and, not incidentally, quotes French literary giant Gustave Flaubert, whose 1857 novel Madame Bovary itself made many readers rethink many things). He modestly attributes to “careful Howard Jones in his studio. craftsmanship” mind-boggling effects achieved for “Think Rethink” in materials far less malleable than paper.

“As a former journeyman printer, the trajectory from professional printmaking to object-maker may be straighter than it seems,” Jones says.

“First of all, I have pretty much always made things. Maybe a bit more pedestrian in the further past, but some pretty rudimentary carpentry skills have developed just from owning an older home, for example.

“Printmaking – or the sort of printmaking I was doing – required a certain amount of knowledge, but more importantly, some discriminating work habits.

My efforts in printing for other artists required an invisibility of my hand in the final product. It’s that sort of attention to detail and, again, modestly, invisible

August 25, 2017 | LadueNews.com

craftsmanship, that informs the work I have done ever since.”

Beyond the Flaubert quotation and Jones’ self-evident embrace of French nonesuch Marcel Duchamp’s conception of the ready-made, the artist can lay claim to some heavyweight intellectual credentials.

His capsule bio on the center’s website, for example, notes that he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Gambier, Ohio’s distinguished Kenyon College and a Master of Fine Arts from Ohio University.

Thereafter, Jones taught at Washington University in St. Louis, among other institutions of higher learning, and Ladue’s John Burroughs School, where he also chaired the art department.

Another case in point from the “Think Rethink” exhibition – four nailing hammers, their faces facing outward, bend backward toward one another so emphatically that their individual claws vanish into a common center, like Siamese quadruplets joined at their skulls’ dorsa.

Outré? Indeed. Helpfully, though, Jones enlarges on the transmutations underlying his “Think Rethink” works.

“The original function of the object – hammer, brush handle, shovel – needs to be maintained while my adjustments may change its meaning,” Jones says. “I have great respect for these ‘tools’ in their first incarnation as extensions of human effort, so to imagine them filling another function, the transformation needs to be, in my mind, seamless and wholly believable. More often than not, the two disparate elements to be joined determine the particular objects used. …

“For Hammer Cluster, I welded together the hammerheads after cutting off their claws, and fashioned the handles imagining how such a thing might look, but also keeping the proper proportions of a handle for a hammer that size.”

The Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design, according to its website, seeks “to reveal the power of craft through bold programming that uncovers craft’s unique qualities, its evolving role and its full potential for innovation. Craft (the making of objects in woods, metals, fibers, glass and clay) is both an ancient tradition and a site for innovation, adapting to new materials and responding to

the ever-changing human experience.”

Such works playfully test viewers’ perceptions in various ways, and Jones reflects on the perceptual tests posed by “Think Rethink,” while also making an amusing confession.

“The most challenging piece, in my estimation, seems to be the one I’m currently working on,” he says. “That said, the works that have welded pieces in them were fairly challenging, as I think I need to become a better welder. I’m grateful for the support from the Regional Arts Commission in awarding me a grant to acquire welding equipment to make some of the work in this show.

“Currently, I’m working on a brick piece that I hope will be in the exhibit, so I’m reacquainting myself with shaping brick and tuck-pointing.”

Jones’ imagination, relates Kirkland, inspired the center to exhibit his peculiarly pleasant works.

“Many of his materials are staples for artists and makers of all disciplines, so his manipulations feel rooted in familiar truths,” she says. “All of us use tools in our everyday lives, and each craftsperson uses special tools to manipulate their material. Howard, however, takes the everyday tool and adds a humorous, Dada-like twist, pushing us to think more deeply about the relationships between objects, their various uses and the act of making.”

Jones’ academic background almost perforce infuses his reflective conclusion about “Think Rethink.”

“I guess the reaction to my work that I would hope for would be some connection that I never thought of, and often, from children, I’ve gained some insight to my work,” Jones says. “For those of us less unencumbered, I’d hope for a visceral reaction to some part of each piece – and perhaps a rethinking of a new purpose for a familiar object.

“I’ll mention that these objects began their careers as functioning tools and, for the most part, spent their time satisfying an original purpose. I have suggested a different path for their future.”
