These students, identified with help from the Little Bit Foundation, will receive support through this program at no cost to their families. The nonprofit is asking for community support to ensure the program thrives. Visit laduenews.com to read more.

A Different Kind of

OPERA MASK

By Maggie Peters

or more than a decade, Winter Opera Saint Louis has brought the art form to the area with world-class performances throughout the winter months. COVID-19 may be putting a hold on theater, but the nonprofit is still finding ways to connect with the community. “We’re always trying to reach out,” explains general director Gina Galati. “We had our summer Opera Nights at Dominic’s restaurant on the Hill; we’re having social distancing concerts in the lobby of the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center. We’ve been busy trying to stay involved.” One way its costume shop has been giving back is through making masks for both the company and the greater community. It has currently produced more than 4,000 masks in various colors, including Blues and Cardinals themes. “We’ve sent them to children’s hospitals and nursing homes,” says costume and alterations director Lauren Smith Bearden. “Several people ordered from us to donate. The generosity was pretty amazing.” A March donation from board president and patron, Nancy Pillsbury of Pillsbury Marketing has also allowed Winter Opera to send its homemade masks to all season ticket holders, as well. “We

were able to reach out to our patrons and give them a gift [to] let them know we’re thinking about them,” Bearden says. “We also rent studio and rehearsal space to local artists,” Galati adds. “We are always doing alterations and using our costume shop for the community.” Winter Opera is currently moving its performances to the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center. Although its first opera has been postponed, the socially distant concerts held in the lobby will begin in September and run through November. Board member Nancy Green, who started Winter Opera’s endowment, continues her generous support of the opera’s efforts, as has fellow board member Lu Barnes. Board member Mary Pillsbury is also doing a $25,000 match for anyone donating to help the opera raise funds. Donations to the opera are greatly appreciated, as is going online to order a face mask. “We’re coming out with our Halloween masks soon,” Bearden says. “That will be fun.” In these challenging times, Winter Opera is happy to spread some joy wherever it can.

Richard Lazaroff

By Alice Handelman Photo courtesy of Richard Lazaroff

ichard Lazaroff – the newly elected president of the St. Louis Bridge Center in Olivette – became a Life Master of the game of bridge in only 3½ years. A retired, board-certified pediatrician, Lazaroff says he loves tacos, burgers, tennis and golf but adds that, above all, “I love being a grandfather. Our four grandchildren come first. We call ourselves ‘The Ice Cream Gang.’” Lazaroff is proud to have devoted his medical career to helping parents raise successful and emotionally healthy children. Inspired by his personal and professional experiences, he authored Some Assembly Required: A Guide to Savvy Parenting. Published in 2018, the book offers advice on topics backed by actual patient encounters and vignettes about his own children. “My goal in writing the book was to help parents understand themselves and be intentional in their parenting choices,” he says. Lazaroff shares his lessons learned with humor, guidance and wisdom and delves into what often lies just beneath the everyday challenges of parenthood. He also offers a pediatrician’s advice for parents attempting to raise successful, healthy children: “This is done by making intentional choices starting in infancy and continuing through adolescence.” A former associate professor of pediatrics at Washington University in St. Louis, Lazaroff retired in 2016 after practicing pediatric medicine here for 35 years at the metro area’s Esse Health, where he served as chairman of its department of pediatrics. “Going to work and doing the right thing medically became second nature,” Lazaroff says. “Being alert to the more unusual medical problems was an exciting challenge.” Born and raised in St. Louis, Lazaroff graduated first from Ladue Horton Watkins High School in 1970 and then, magna cum laude, from Providence, Rhode Island’s Brown University in 1974. After that, he returned to the Gateway City for medical school at Saint Louis University and completed his residency education in pediatrics at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Lazaroff and his wife, Trish Kelly Lazaroff, met at St. Louis’ indomitable City Hospital in 1976. “I was a third-year medical student, and she was a certified nurse midwife working in labor and delivery,” he recalls. Married since 1978, they are the parents of two children. “I enjoy children more than adults or dogs,” Lazaroff confesses. “It was a great job holding babies and being there for teenage patients and their families when trouble would strike.” He credits his parents for instilling in him a work ethic. “They gave me the opportunity to develop my own sense of self by allowing me to attend summer camp each year,” Lazaroff says. “I believe that I relate to others well and have the self-esteem that I do because of my time at [Washington State’s] Camp Indianola.” He admits to being “addicted to bridge in a positive way. Bridge challenges the mind in a very healthy way. Some studies suggest that it might hold diseases like Alzheimer’s at bay.” With the St. Louis Bridge Center temporarily closed because of COVID-19, Lazaroff says he’s thrilled that many members are now playing online in the center’s own virtual game. When asked about the importance of achieving the status of Life Master through the Horn Lake, Mississippibased American Contract Bridge League, Lazaroff says, “I have more to learn about the game than I currently know. This is one more opportunity for continuous learning.” An innate storyteller and award-winning photographer and writer, Alice Handelman provides Ladue News readers with a glimpse into lives that enrich St. Louis.

E-Learning LocaL educatioNaL experts provide advice aNd iNsights iNto improviNg studeNts’ virtuaL academic experieNce. By Brittany Nay

s both a parent and a teacher, Jennifer Sievers knows the importance of kids growing academically, socially and emotionally. So as school makes a very different return this year, with educational institutions across the metro area turning to full- or part-time e-learning amid the coronaviral pandemic, the eighth grade English language arts teacher at Nipher Middle School in the Kirkwood School District – as well as the parent of three elementary-aged children – has advice for handling virtual education. For local schools incorporating e-learning, students and staff are connecting through virtual instruction on web platforms like Zoom and Google Classroom, and parents are monitoring their children’s progress through online learning management systems like Schoology and Infinite Campus. But with this distance education model comes challenges, and Sievers says the first vital step is bridging the gap between home and school. “Communication is key to success for your child,” says Sievers, who has taught for 21 years. “This can be tricky in a normal school year, but virtually, it becomes much more difficult. Likely your child’s teacher will reach out at the beginning of the year, but in order to foster a strong, trusting relationship, you should reach out as well.” Letting educators know about your child, your concerns and needs, and any other pertinent information will ease the transition into the school year, she explains: “Think of yourself as a team, and let your child know that you and the teacher are communicating to support their learning.” At Ursuline Academy in Oakland, where school days are rotating between in-person and virtual instruction, learning consultant Jen Caton says keeping students engaged in e-learning starts with each child’s well-being. “It’s important the child has their social and emotional needs met first,” she says. “They should get eight hours of sleep [a night], exercise, eat healthy and stay connected with friends. Without these being established first, their ability to learn will be negatively affected.” Sievers and Caton also agree it’s crucial to develop a family schedule to maintain students’ daily morning, daytime and bedtime routines like any other school year. “Create a working schedule for your family,” Sievers says. “Teachers realize all families are different, and not everyone can fit into one mold. Make sure you develop the best plan for your family and communicate that with the teachers if need be. Planners or monthly calendar boards are helpful. A set wake-up time and

morning routine will help with the transition to learning time. The more predictable the day, the less stressed your family will be.” Further, it’s imperative to delineate school time from home time, Sievers says. “Make sure that these two areas do not seep into each other,” she says. “This will help children stay focused and organized.” To ensure students stay focused at home, Caton recommends creating a quiet, distraction-free workstation for remote school days, “so they have a mindset [of] ‘This is my time to complete schoolwork.’” Parents also can support students who struggle with large projects or struggle with procrastination by reminding their child to break down large projects with incremental due dates, Caton says. Most importantly, parents should keep tabs on their children’s progress. “Some students are more autonomous than others, so it’s important to do daily check-ins,” Caton says. “Communicate with the school if you notice a child is really struggling with e-learning; classroom teachers and counselors are available to help.” In addition, students and parents can rely on a plethora of online resources, such as the artificial intelligence-based “paraphraser” QuillBot, Sievers says. “Teachers will post beneficial resources for students, such as EDpuzzle, Khan Academy, PBS LearningMedia and Discovery Education,” Caton adds. Your local library is another resource for virtual learning and e-tutoring services, Sievers says, adding that there are parent support groups for further assistance. Finally, Sievers advises taking a deep breath. “This is not an ideal setting for the start of the 2020-21 school year for anyone,” she says. “Parents, teachers and especially students are struggling. Remember to take deep breaths and realize that with any abrupt change, there come challenges.” Keep in mind that learning is built on mistakes, she adds. “As you navigate virtual learning for your family, you may hit road bumps – potholes even – along the way, but that is OK. We all want our children [and] students to grow academically, socially and emotionally. And with strong communication and support, we can do this together, even in the most unusual of circumstances.” Kirkwood School District, 11289 Manchester Road, Kirkwood, 314-213-6100, kirkwoodschools.org Ursuline Academy, 341 S.

ith COVID-19 causing more people to spend time at home, it’s been a period for a lot of people to take stock of themselves. If there are problem areas that you’ve noticed you can’t seem to get rid of with diet and exercise, West County Plastic Surgeons is the place to go. “This isn’t a solution for weight loss,” Dr. Terry Myckatyn confirms. “What we can do is a variety of techniques to remove stubborn pockets of fat or work to tone muscles for people who have lost substantial weight.” “We’ve seen a phenomenon of people, after seeing their faces on Zoom calls, noticing wrinkles and chin fat,” Dr. Marissa Tenenbaum adds. “We have a full range of facial rejuvenation options, both surgical and nonsurgical, that can really help.” West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University specializes in all aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery and nonsurgical treatment options. “We focus on aesthetic surgery, medicine and reconstruction,” explains Tenenbaum. “I think that we offer a very broad range of therapies; we’re not limiting ourselves to a particular service,” Myckatyn adds. “We’re board-certified in plastic surgery. In addition, we are both nationally recognized as leaders in our field in plastic and aesthetic surgery journals. As part of Washington

september 4, 2020 | LadueNews.com

In St. LouIS’ Grand Center artS dIStrICt, the anGad artS hoteL provIdeS a unIque opportunIty for artS enthuSIaStS near and far.

renched in rich color, each monochromatic guest room and suite at the Angad Arts Hotel is designed to immerse visitors in a state of curiosity, empowerment, freedom or rejuvenation. According to the hotel’s website, the Angad Arts Hotel opened in St. Louis’ Grand Center Arts District in late 2018 and became the world’s first hotel to give guests the ability to book a room based on an emotion they wish to evoke during their stay. Choose yellow for curiosity, red for empowerment, blue for freedom or green for rejuvenation. But the goal isn’t just to evoke one emotion, says Steve Smith, the hotel’s developer and CEO of the Lawrence Group, headquartered in St. Louis. Overall, spending time at the Angad Arts Hotel should awaken a guest’s creativity and alter his or her expectations of what a hotel can offer.

“When you think about hotel guest rooms – even at luxury hotels, wonderful hotels – they are, in general, relatively neutral,” Smith says. “Being in the arts district, we came up with the idea that we would actually add color to the guest rooms – bold color.” The idea, which was born in 2014, evolved into each guest room being dominated by a single vivid color. Instead of an accent wall or a pop of color here and there, the vibrant hue stretches across the walls, ceilings, furniture and unique artistic elements sprinkled throughout the 146 rooms. Smith explains that the concept derived from former Caparo group CEO Angad Paul’s vision that their hotel should challenge the norms established by traditional hotels, as well as incorporate the local arts scene. Smith and Paul partnered to bring this vision to life, but Paul died tragically about a year later, in November 2015. Swraj Paul – Angad Paul’s father, who holds the title Lord Paul of Marylebone – stepped in and helped see the project through to completion. Smith says David Miskit, the hotel’s founding general manager, was another major player who influenced the design. Nevertheless, the process involved collaborators with various perspectives, including St. Louis-based artists. “We felt that this needed to be a hotel that really celebrated the arts,” Smith says. Thus, the spaces as a whole celebrate artists who paint, perform, design buildings and create in just about any capacity. Vanessa Rudloff, the hotel’s arts relations manager, says all of the featured work comes from artists residing within 200 miles of the Angad Arts Hotel. From the bed pillows, to the wall art, to the numbers on the door – each room displays custom artwork. “Rather than just putting a pillow on the bed – again, we wanted it to be artistic,” Smith says, “every guest room [instead] has a colored pillow with men’s eyes on one side and women’s eyes on the other.” Some might find that image creepy or provocative, Smith adds, but it’s proved a popular aspect of the rooms by how – STEVE SMITH much it appears in guests’ Instagram photos. Paula Haniszewski from Belleville designed those signature pillows, and her work is also featured in the Chameleon Lounge’s video art piece known as the Chameleon Lamp, created by Zlatko Cosic. Rudloff describes the lamp as a “360-degree media experience over four hours long with 144 different media panels.” The hotel provides a few gallery spaces where artists showcase and sell their work, with collections typically rotating quarterly and biannually. Also open to the public, the Angad Rainbow Terrace serves small plates

and drinks with a view from the rooftop lounge. Stacey Howlett, general manager of the Angad Arts Hotel, says the terrace recently reopened after a precautionary COVID-19 closure, but the hotel itself never closed. “We have gone through all of the struggles that any business has gone through, with business levels nonexistent right when [the pandemic] started, employee layoffs, working from home – but it has been very beneficial to stay open,” Howlett says. “Every day we’re learning how to do something better, and every day we’re learning how to open more parts of our business.” Smith says that, as the business adapts and grows, he expects the hotel to incorporate the arts in new and innovative ways. Meanwhile, the team continues to find inspiration in Angad Paul’s mantra: “What is art but seeing the world in a different way.” Angad Arts Hotel, 3550 Samuel Shephard Drive, St. Louis, 314-561-0033, angadartshotel.com

HEALTHY APPETITE

Braised Leeks WITH CREAMY MISO-CHIVE DRESSING Story and recipe by Amanda Elliott

hen braising leeks, I feel as if I’m channeling the legends of haute cuisine. Although used less than other onions, leeks, in their simplicity as a side dish, hopefully can combine with a more modern sauce to create renewed interest in the mellow vegetable. For the sauce, I spruced up a traditional mayonnaise with miso and chive, which pair perfectly with the white wine reduction braising liquid and the pop of citrus flavor at the end.

Serves | 4 to 6 | Miso-Chive Dressing (Yields 2 cups)  2 eggs  ¼ cup chopped chives  2 Tbsp yellow miso  1 Tbsp honey  1 clove garlic, grated  1½ cups olive oil  salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Braised Leeks  3 Tbsp canola oil  5 leeks, greens cut, sliced in half, rinsed and cleaned of sand  salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste  2 Tbsp butter  1 cup white wine  ½ cup miso-chive dressing  juice of ½ lemon  1 Tbsp chive microgreens, for garnish

| Preparation – Miso-Chive Dressing | Combine eggs, chives, miso, honey and garlic in a blender. Begin to blend and slowly add oil until mixture becomes stiff and holds together like mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste. | Preparation – Braised Leeks | Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add oil. Once oil is hot, place leeks in pan cut-side down, and season with salt and pepper to taste; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip leeks; cook for 3 minutes. Carefully flip leeks again; add butter and white wine. Cover pan and place in oven; cook for 20 to 23 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and transfer leeks to a shallow serving dish. Peel off any tough outer layers, and then top with dressing and lemon juice. Garnish with microgreens and serve warm.

SSM HEALTH CARDINAL GLENNoN CHILDREN’S FouNDATIoN Feature Story

Support Shopping in

By Maggie Peters | Photos courtesy of SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation

n these difficult times, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is there for struggling families, working within its resources to never turn away a child in need. The hospital gets these resources through the support of the SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit that works to provide money and equipment to areas of the highest need – and you can help the foundation through its annual Glennon Card shopping promotion. “This is the 10th year of the promotion,” explains Brigette McMillin, president of the Glennon Guild, a women’s auxiliary that works with business sponsors for the foundation. “It’s a donation of $60 that gets you a 20 percent discount at over 250 local retailers and services. It encourages people to shop local, all while supporting kids in need of care.” One of the major projects the foundation is helping fund right now is the milk lab for the neonatal intensive care unit. “When we’re dealing with babies, they don’t have a chance to build their bones and muscles as well as they could,” says dietitian Rita Chrivia. “We’ve gotten the space for a separate area for preparing human milk and formula, and now we need to construct it.” The foundation has also assisted in getting the NICU specialty beds to help babies maintain an appropriate temperature, keep them away from outside germs and provide the right percentage of humidity. “The foundation is wonderful; [these resources] get dispersed to the area of highest need,” Chrivia confirms.

With the help of the Glennon Card’s presenting sponsor, Edward Jones, 100 percent of the proceeds from Glennon Cards sold goes directly to helping provide these services for the hospital. More than 4,000 people purchase a card each year, and businesses surveyed have confirmed a significant increase in traffic and sales. For the second year since it began, the Glennon Card is being offered as a mobile card, as well as paper. “We [also] have a whole online section with brick-and-mortar stores that are offering online sales,” McMillin says. “For those who don’t feel comfortable going out to stores, they can use the card online.” The Glennon Card shopping week runs from Oct. 16 to 25, with cards available by Sept. 15. This fall, go online to glennoncard.org and show your support for local businesses and children in need. SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, 3800 Park Ave., St. Louis, 314-577-5605

t its locations in Clayton and St. Louis’ Jeff-Vander-Lou neighborhood, Mother’s Fish dishes Southern-style fried fish, chicken and more – all available for pickup. “Most everything is fried, and we take pride in serving quality food,” says owner Sean Morris. “We thrive on cooking everything to order and try to focus on making sure everything is just right.” The casual family-owned eatery originated as a St. Louis tradition nearly 40 years ago. According to Morris, it first opened in 1982, when his aunt and uncle set up shop within a local lounge. Since then, over the years, his grandmother’s recipes have graced menus at roughly a dozen different Mother’s Fish storefronts in the metro area. The most recent addition to the line launched in 2016, filling the space previously occupied by the fondly remembered Clayton Diner. In Morris’ kitchen, cuts of fish receive a coating of cornmeal batter rather than flour before hitting hot vegetable oil. For a spike of flavor, each item uses as a base locally made Andy’s Seasoning. Guests can savor that seasoning in such dishes as jack fillet, catfish fillet, catfish nuggets and tilapia, as well as five combination plates – each available as sandwiches or as dinners with sides. Daily specials include chicken wings, fried shrimp, tripe and more. The menu also offers cheeseburgers, turkey burgers and similar fare. Side items include potato salad, coleslaw, spaghetti, hush puppies and French fries, while for dessert, guests can choose between lemon and caramel cake – with a selection of bottled sodas at hand to wash it all down.

Devotees can again stroll the rooms of a local stanDby for the finest in contemporary visual art.

n the wake of this year’s governmentally mandated lockdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the metro area’s most dependable and most consistently intriguing venues for viewing visual art is once more welcoming guests: Clayton’s Bruno David Gallery. Succeeding an interesting collection of interim offerings – one of them a group exhibition of almost daunting scope titled “OVERVIEW_2020,” which showcased the works of roughly four dozen artists – the gallery will spotlight a quartet of creators from Sept. 12 to Oct. 24: St. Louisan Michael Byron with “The Wheel of Fortune & How to Build a Ghost,” Chris Kahler with “SHIFT,” St. Louisan William Morris in the gallery’s Media Room with The Protest Project and Patricia Olynyk in the gallery’s Window on Forsyth with “Oculus.” The visual art oasis also has returned to its regular summer operating hours: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each Tuesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each Saturday, as well as by appointment. Admission, as ever, remains free. With characteristic equanimity, the gallery’s namesake relates how, both professionally and personally, he weathered the coronaviral lockdown.

“Following state and local regulations, the gallery closed to the public in early March and reopened in mid-July,” David says. “During that time, I worked from home and stayed in touch with the artists and clients about their practice and their health. “As of now, we are all doing well. I think the most difficult part was not knowing fully the disaster we were all facing.” He then recounts how the enforced hiatus affected the gallery’s schedule, artist availability and other factors. “The exhibitions by [James Austin] Murray, [Tom] Reed, [Christina] Shmigel, [Frank] Schwaiger and [Patricia] Olynyk ended up on the walls for 3½ months with no visitors for 14plus weeks!” David says. “At least we had a great turnout for their opening on Feb. 29, with 275-plus visitors, and two weeks after. “The interruption also affected six exhibitions that had been scheduled more than a year ago and pushed the 2020-2021 season by six or more months.” David continues by adopting a wider, even historical perspective: “I opened my first gallery in New York City in 1984 and in 2005 in St. Louis. The gallery has been through a few world financial crises, relocations, the first SARS [severe acute

respiratory syndrome] pandemic in 2003 and so forth. “This [novel coronavirus] is sadly affecting everything more than we’ve ever seen since [the Spanish influenza pandemic of] 1918. I think it will have a profound and philosophical influence on the art, as much or maybe even more following the savagery of World War I in the early 1900s.” David’s tone lifts considerably on recalling how it felt to finally reopen to art devotees nonvirtually. (During the lockdown, the gallery continued to maintain its customarily robust digital profile on its website, on Artsy and elsewhere.) “It was the greatest day for me since the closing in early March,” David says. “We ended up setting up our summer show, ‘OVERVIEW_2020,’ and it was so wonderful to see new works on the walls.” Finally, the affable gallerist briefly shares what most intrigues him, from a collective standpoint, about the forthcoming works of Byron, Kahler, Morris and Olynyk. “These four artists work in different mediums,” David says, “but they’re connected in showing the true nature of love, caring, truth, hope, history, our journey – and our future.” Bruno David Gallery, 7513 Forsyth Blvd., St. Louis, 314-696-2377, brunodavidgallery.com

ART & SOUL By Bryan A. Hollerbach Image courtesy of Michael Byron

n an era more and more bereft of history – seemingly “come unstuck in time” like ace satirist Kurt Vonnegut’s Billy Pilgrim, from the landmark 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five – Marquis de Lafayette (After Houdon, 1785), the painting showcased here, may well constitute a comfort, even a tonic. In that striking 20- by 24-inch oil on canvas by St. Louisan Michael Byron, the eyes of the past peer into the present with astonishing resoluteness – enough, in fact, to suggest that they gaze also into a future beyond this current bleak moment. The Zeitgeist, at least in part, may explain the power of that gaze. “With the increasingly dense stacking of visual experience in contemporary culture,” muses Byron, a Rhode Islander transplanted here who serves as a professor of art at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis, “the question of the appropriate form of expression has never been more essential.” Not for nothing has the phrase information overload entered the popular lexicon in the past few years. Byron’s subject likely also lends his painting more than a little gravitas: French aristocrat and military officer Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, who fought for this nascent nation in the American War of Independence and who, on subsequently returning to France, helped write the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, which invoked so-called natural law in defining principles of the democratic nationstate. Lafayette also advocated abolishing slavery – in short, a man of considerable and estimable vision. As a lagniappe, Byron’s Marquis de Lafayette (After Houdon, 1785) references Jean-Antoine Houdon,
