On the cover 10 Last year, 17,000 survivors and supporters of all ages gathered in Forest Park for the annual Light the Night Walk. Sponsored by the Gateway Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the event is equal parts celebration and memorial, with all funds raised benefiting LLS’s efforts to end blood cancers through cutting-edge research, as well as assist patients and their families during their journeys. Read more about this year’s walk, which will take place on the evening of Sept. 29, starting on page 10. Pictured are Joy, Ron Kruszewski of Stifel and Jaxon. Photo by Sarah Conroy.

from the

EDITOR BY THE END OF SUMMER, IT’S EASY TO BECOME DISCOURAGED when your air conditioner churns for hours on end, failing to take a well-deserved break. The sound nearly triggers rotating dollar signs in my eyes, simply out of fear of what next month’s electric bill will hold. However, fear not! For there is technology capable of cutting those costs. Ladue News contributing writer Brittany Nay speaks with local heating and cooling experts about geothermal systems – heating and cooling systems that harness the Earth’s renewable solar energy underground to heat your home during the colder months and cool it in warmer months. Although certainly an initial investment, such a system seems to pay for itself with tax credits, reduction in utility bills and so much more. We hope you enjoy learning more about these systems, starting on p. 26. Also in this week’s edition, we hope you enjoy learning about Bruno David Gallery’s upcoming 13th season-specifically, its opening exhibitions, which feature four local artisans. Starting on p. 50, LN arts guru Bryan A. Hollerbach talks to Bruno himself about the inspiration for the exhibitions and what visitors to the gallery can expect. All the best,

Vanlandingham spoke with people battling different stages of cancer and with various diagnoses, capturing how the disease affects all ages.

or astronomers studying the night’s sky, a star’s brilliance is measured by both luminosity and apparent brightness. Luminosity refers to the star’s intrinsic strength, the energy it emits through the sheer force of its existence. By contrast, apparent brightness describes how bright the star appears to the average observer. Every year, on a special September twilight, thousands of illuminated lanterns in shades of gold, red and white can be seen glimmering across Forest Park. Part of the Gateway Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light the Night Walk, the lanterns are carried by survivors, supporters and those who have lost loved ones to blood cancers. The stars in this constellation radiate with both kinds of brightness. Luminous in their power as individuals, they are made even more visibly brilliant when gathered together. “I’m particularly pleased to chair an event that brings hope to so many,” says Ron Kruszewski, the Gateway Chapter’s corporate walk chair, and chairman and CEO of Stifel. Held across the country, LLS’s annual Light the Night Walk is an evening of solidarity and of hope for a world in which leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma no longer exist. It is also

a vitally important fundraising event for LLS, which advocates for all blood cancer patients, ensuring that they have access to treatment and support. Though registration to the event is free, the majority of walkers raise funds as individuals or as teams. Last year, a record 17,000 participants turned out for the event, making it the largest walk in the St. Louis area. Their collective efforts yielded $1.3 million for the Gateway Chapter. All contributions from the Light the Night Walk stay within the community, helping to fund cutting-edge research and to provide financial assistance for medical care, support groups for patients and their families, and outreach and educational programming. This year’s Light the Night Walk will take place on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 29, in Forest Park. The event will officially kick off at 7:15 p.m. with the Survivor Circle Ceremony, during which survivors unite and raise their lanterns in a show of shared strength and inspiration. At 7:30 p.m., walkers will begin the one-mile route through the park, blanketing Cricket Field in red, yellow and golden light. The celebration will continue after the course is complete, with music from The Fabulous Motown Revue and a fireworks finale.

2018 Honored Heroes Jaxon (left) and Joy (right).

During the event, LLS’s Gateway Chapter will also honor Jaxon and Joy, two young heroes currently battling blood cancers. Sevenyear-old Jaxon was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was less than 3 years old. After completing treatment and achieving remission in the fall of 2016, Jaxon experienced a relapse earlier this year. He is now undergoing chemotherapy and CAR-T immunotherapy. Despite these trials, Jaxon remains an easygoing kid, who enjoys listening to music, coloring, and playing baseball and video games. Jaxon’s mother shares how supported and loved her family has felt throughout her son’s fight, and she hopes to do the same for families grappling with illness. In 2017, Joy began experiencing random fevers and fatigue, in addition to swollen and painful joints. After cycling through multiple doctors and various tests, Joy was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July of that year. In March of this year, a difficult to diagnose fungal infection led to three weeks of horror for Joy and her family, during which she battled multi-organ failure and was placed on an oscillator.

Ever the fighter, Joy is now recovering well. And with each passing day, she is able to return to more of her favorite activities, which include cuddling with family, listening to music, playing outside and snacking on popcorn chicken and fruit roll-ups! Joy’s family likewise plans to support other families in the community who are coping with similar health challenges. Stories like those of Jaxon and Joy make it all too clear how necessary LLS’s efforts to end blood cancers continue to be. Kruszewski encourages the community to come out and support the incredible work of LLS by attending the Light the Night Walk. “Charity events can often feel so formal, but this is a unique event,” he observes. “You don’t have to put on a tux. You’re able to be outside, walking and enjoying fireworks. Not only are you helping a great cause, but you’re also having fun.” The Gateway Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, 1972 Innerbelt Business Center, St. Louis, 314-590-2230, lls.org/gateway

Greatest The

Wealth

By Amanda Dahl | Photo courtesy of Health Protection & Education Services

he Roman poet Virgil once declared that “the greatest wealth is health.” In turn, the greatest poverty often results in poor health, with families unable to pay for medical care. Health Protection & Education Services, a local nonprofit, seeks to make healthcare more accessible for the diverse populations in the St. Louis region. “The most impactful thing that we have provided to the community,” says executive director Diane Berry, “is culturally-sensitive and language-appropriate services for people in poverty throughout the community, many of whom have language barriers and generally do not have insurance.” Recently, the organization received first-time funding from the Missouri Honor Fund, a grant initiated through the American Medical Association [AMA] Foundation. Dr. Edmond Cabbabe, a plastic

surgeon at St. Louis Plastic Surgery Consultants, led funding on the new grant. He has served on the board and as president for the AMA Foundation. Though he finished his term two years prior, Cabbabe continues his involvement with the foundation through development. “In Missouri, we chose to support a free clinic led by physicians,” Cabbabe says of the selection process for the grant. “We chose this organization because it serves poor people, who have language barriers. It also [provides] educational opportunities for medical students. [There is also] the fact that it screens for diabetes, which is one of the main focuses of the AMA.” In addition, Health Protection & Education Services is one of the only organizations to offer electrocardiograms during community health screenings. “Historically, organizations that receive grants from the AMA Foundation have easier access to a bigger arena of [future funding],” Cabbabe adds. “It instills more confidence in the [selected] organization.” The Missouri Health Fund deepens opportunities for the nonprofit to expand its services, as Berry describes. “We help our clients with medical care and also teach them nutrition,” she explains. “We partner with farmers markets here in the St. Louis area. When clients come for a screening and diabetes testing, they get vouchers for fruits and vegetables from these community farmers markets.” Of course, the number of people positively impacted by Health Protection & Education Services can increase only through continued community support. “Tax-deductible donations give those we serve hope – a hope that will long endure,” says Berry. It is the hope that many more can access the greatest wealth: their good health. Health Protection & Education Services, 6900 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis, 314-448-7373, hpes-stl.org

Sophistication

By Noël Powers | Photos supplied by Mosby Building Arts

s most homeowners can attest, your house will tell you when the time has come for an update – whether because the colors of original fixtures are fading, the styles and features of appliances are becoming outdated or the plumbing and electric systems are suggesting problems. Recently, a Ladue family needed collaborative assistance with their home – specifically, the kitchen – which started with the family assessing what in the space worked and what didn’t. Specifically, the U-shaped kitchen looked and felt outdated, with its shape blocking the flow between it and the eating area. Discussion focused on how to open the space for a smooth transition from kitchen to dining, while making the room more aesthetically appealing. In addition to altering the layout of the kitchen, the homeowners requested the removal of the cooktop from the island; as a result, the stove was moved to

24 September 7, 2018 | LadueNews.com

a side wall and converted to gas. The homeowners also wanted to separate the stacked microwave and oven – a smart adjustment that created ample room for multiple chefs to occupy the kitchen at once. The brighter new space exudes an easy, breezy beach vibe. The white cabinets, dark hardwood flooring and gorgeous glass backsplash make this once-dark kitchen shine, while adding beautiful contrast. The wide cabinets have slow-close drawers and other built-ins that most chefs desire. The unique blue-ish backsplash comprises recycled wine bottles, installed vertically for an added touch of “Wow!” The backsplash also features hints of gray, which tie the silver cabinet pulls and stainless steel appliances together brilliantly. As an effort to elevate its style and purpose, from the appliance reconfiguration to the unique backsplash, this remodel seemed like a home run – and most important, the results thrilled the family!

Energy By Brittany Nay

More area residents are enjoying the low-cost, low-maintenance benefits of a geothermal system to comfortably and quietly heat and cool their homes. 26 September 7, 2018 | LadueNews.com

magine experiencing a quiet, comfortable home with optimal year-round temperatures in a low-cost, low-maintenance, environmentally friendly way. It all can be achieved with a geothermal system – an innovative technology that more and more St. Louis-area homeowners are taking advantage of, local contractors say. “We are installing geothermal systems almost weekly – these are becoming the norm,” says Shaun Tarrillion, a consultant at Scott-Lee Heating Co., a heating and cooling business that has been serving the area for 40 years. Hoffmann Brothers, a heating and air conditioning, plumbing, electrical and appliance repair company also serving the area for 40 years, is also seeing a rise in popularity for geothermal systems. “We are converting a lot of gas, electric or propane systems to geothermal,” says president Robert Hoffmann, who is also a registered professional mechanical engineer. “The number of geothermal installations has almost doubled since the reintroduction of the 30 percent federal tax credit.” Geothermal is the most efficient way to heat and cool a house, according to the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. And with so many added benefits, from utility bill savings and comfortable year-round temperatures to the peace and quiet it provides, it’s an attractive option for homeowners, Hoffmann notes. “When you walk around your house, it’s clean and quiet – there’s no outdoor air conditioning unit or noise,” he says. So how does it work? A geothermal heating and cooling system harnesses the Earth’s renewable solar energy underground to heat your home during colder months and cool it in warmer months. “Instead of producing energy like a traditional HVAC [heating, ventilation and air conditioning] unit, the geothermal system is moving energy,” Tarrillion says. The geothermal system exchanges heat with the Earth – where the temperature below the frost line is a steady 55 degrees year-round – rather than with the fluctuating seasonal outdoor temperatures like a conventional HVAC unit. As outdoor temperatures fall, the geothermal system moves the subterranean heat into your home, and when outdoor temperatures rise, the system collects the unwanted heat in your home and moves it underground.

The installation process typically takes three to four days, Tarrillion says. The geothermal system’s ground loops are small-diameter, high-density polyethylene pipes that circulate water to move heat to and from your home, while the heat pump is installed in the basement or utility room of your home. Hoffmann says they drill one 200-foot-deep hole per ton of cooling and space the holes 12 feet apart. The small pipes are placed in the 200-foot holes and are connected to each other by a larger header pipe buried 2.5 feet underground. “Homeowners don’t have to worry about planting and digging in their yard because the closest the ground loops come to the surface of the ground is 3.5 feet,” Hoffmann says, noting the number of holes depends on the heat loss and heat gain of the house. “We have never been limited by the size of the yard, but in small yards, we sometimes have had to drill in the driveway.” The geothermal system is low-maintenance and longlasting because it is not exposed to the outdoor elements and the excessive outdoor temperatures like traditional HVAC units, Hoffmann says. Its underground loop system has a 50-year warranty and typically requires no maintenance. The heat pump lasts about 20 to 25 years – versus the 15-year life of a conventional HVAC unit – and needs to be biannually serviced, including a performance check, filter change and occasional water conditioning. Although the size and cost of geothermal systems vary depending on the square footage of a house and yard, installation for a midsize, 3,000-square-foot home is about $25,000. To mitigate the cost, local homeowners who install geothermal are given a $2,000 power rebate from Ameren, as well as a 30 percent federal tax credit – about $7,500 in savings for a midsize home. In addition, homeowners will see an average 60 percent reduction on their monthly utility bills. After Tarrillion had the system installed at his own home, his $250 utility bill each month decreased to less than $100. Factoring in all of these savings, geothermal is expected to pay for itself in less than a decade.

Hoffmann Brothers and Scott-Lee Heating both use the GeoComfort Geothermal Systems from manufacturer Enertech, in Greenville, Illinois, roughly 60 miles northeast of Ladue. “The manufacturer we use is focused on reliability, and there have been fewer issues than we see with traditional air conditioning systems,” Hoffmann says. “And when issues arise, the manufacturer is local, so parts are available and technical support is easy to get.” In addition to heating and cooling your home, a geothermal system can heat bathroom floors to indoor and outdoor swimming pools, as well as your domestic hot water – saving even more money on your utility bill, Hoffmann notes. Hoffmann adds that the company also builds geothermal dehumidification systems for indoor pools. Homeowners rave about their geothermal heating and cooling systems, Tarrillion says. “When homeowners begin the geothermal process, their sole focus is how much money they save, but once it is installed, their focus shifts to how they can’t get over how much better the system is,” he says. “People talk about how they have lived in their home for 20 years, and it has never felt so comfortable because there is a steadier temperature, less humidity and an even [distribution of] heat or air conditioning throughout the home.” Hoffmann Brothers, 1025 Hanley Industrial Court, Brentwood, 314-756-9444, hoffmannbros.com Scott-Lee Heating Co., 11010 Gravois Industrial Court, St. Louis, 314-200-0788, scottleeheating.com LadueNews.com | septeMber7,7,2018 2018 LadueNews.com | September 27

Another valuable lesson she has learned along the way is the importance of communication and kindness, a message that translates well into other facets of life. “Treat all parties involved, including the agent, with honesty and integrity,” reminds Rowe. “I value agents who are available to me, and have the experience to negotiate and make all parties happy. There are many inexperienced agents and those who do this business on a part-time basis, which is difficult for all involved.” Rowe recognizes full involvement and giving one’s all is the only way to guarantee success.

Switching Seasons

‌N

By Kimmie Gotch

ow that summer’s nearing its end, the time has come to change not only your wardrobe but also your makeup and accompanying beauty routine. Certain go-to products in July and August simply won’t make the transition into September – and beyond. In that light, consider five fundamental suggestions for making the change from summer to fall in your cosmetic routine. 1. Check your foundation. In summer, your matte foundation may have kept oils and sweat at bay, but when the air starts drying and cooling around the equinox, a dewy or satin finish foundation might better suit your skin. 2. Embrace autumnal shades. Chromatically, fall’s “changing” foliage looks lovely. To complement it, switch some of your summery eye and lip shades with autumnal ones like “berry,” reds and purples. Try such colors on your eyes or lips for a fun, new look for the newly arrived season.

3. Invest in a good moisturizer. While finding a moisturizer for your face remains integral, also make sure to hydrate the rest of your body in fall. Your skin’s become accustomed to the extra moisture and humidity that summer provided, so make sure to keep hydrating it in autumn, too. 4. Switch your scent. Although you may have found a delicious, summery scent that you’ve used all season, the time has come to retire it till next summer. For autumn, switch your fruity-floral scent for a musky-woodsy one with notes of amber or lavender.

5. Change your shades. Now that your tan’s starting to fade, you probably should use a lighter shade of foundation and concealer. Continuing to wear a dark summer foundation on paler skin emphasizes the harsh demarcation from your jawline to your neck. Also, consider opting for a cooler-toned bronzer and a subtler blush shade. Finally, always check expiration dates on makeup before applying it, and if you’ve run out of lighter foundation or you need to stock up on darker lip colors, you’ll have no better time to do so than now!

r de u e l F MIDTOWN DTOWN DTO By Robyn Dexter | Photos by Sarah Conroy

A new women’s clothing boutique, The Golden Fig, is a sweet and majestic spot for fashionable new and pre-loved goods.

Land SarahMarie

s a creative, Sarah-Marie Land is always seeking ways to express herself and support the things she loves. The artist, photographer and teacher is passionate about traveling, all things France – and shopping. Land is always on the hunt for the best deals, and she eventually gathered a small collection of clothing items she wanted to turn around to a customer base. She began doing pop-ups around St. Louis under the name The Golden Fig – a name she and her sister had come up with. “My sister and I were toying around with names and are passionate about almost all of the same things,” she says. “The golden fig just seems like this majestic, beautiful thing that you could go out and search for. I also like the symbolism of the fig: peace and prosperity.” The pop-ups went well, and Land considered opening a small shop if she could find the right space. When she heard of a small midtown location across from Pappy’s Smokehouse on Olive Street, Land jumped at the chance. “I really felt that I could do a lot with the space, even though it is very small,” she says. “I decided on a whim to go with it, even though I had recently found out I was pregnant.”

“I go to France every summer, and there are so many brands there that I just lust over. I decided to have some unique brands you wouldn’t find elsewhere in St. Louis.” Sarah-Marie Land

Land opened The Golden Fig last November and became a mom in December. Her shop is open Fridays and Saturdays (“mainly because of the baby”) and also by appointment. Visitors to the creatively organized corner shop will first be met with an enticing aroma. Land realized the importance of a space’s scent after working a few holidays at Anthropologie in Richmond Heights and took inspiration from the well-known clothing retailer. The boutique’s walls are lined with clothing that ranges from classic colors to bright prints. Along with a curated selection of clothing items, Land also carries an array of shoes, handbags and other accessories Drawing from her Francophile background, which includes numerous visits and a stint teaching English in Paris, Land stocks The Golden Fig with French brands that she grew to appreciate after living in France for a year and taking yearly trips there since. Visitors will find items by Jonak, Claudie Pierlot, Longchamp, Cop. Copine, Comptoir des Cotonniers and more. Along with the French influences, shop visitors will find familiar brands like J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, Kate Spade, Vera Wang and more. “I really wanted to tie all my creative outlets into The Golden Fig,” Land says. “I go to France every summer, and there are so many brands there that I just lust over. I decided to have some unique brands you wouldn’t find elsewhere in St. Louis.” The Golden Fig offers both new and what Land calls “pre-loved” pieces, born out of a passion for reusing and recycling clothing items instead of simply getting rid of them. She sources her inventory from all over – from department stores to

online. Visitors to the shop will find new items every week. “Resale shops are great because of the whole environmental factor of reusing and recycling what’s already out there,” she says. “I think often we dispose of things too quickly and go out and buy more. It’s important to reuse, and I don’t necessarily try to do what’s happening right this moment in the fashion world. There are pieces that are classic and always in style. I think I have a good eye with my creative background, tying into the curated sense of the shop and finding those unique pieces and how to set them up in the shop.” In the months since the boutique’s opening, Land says she’s been getting great feedback from customers. Growth in her customer base has been increasing “slowly, but surely” as she looks to draw more visitors to St. Louis’ midtown. “It’s been interesting with Pappy’s across the street and Chaifetz Arena nearby because I get a lot of customers from out of town,” she says. “I’m hoping more Saint Louis University students will come down. With more and more businesses coming into midtown, once it grows, people will come.” Her goals for The Golden Fig are to increase traffic and continue to showcase brands customers perhaps haven’t seen before. “[This store] is something I’m passionate about, and I love meeting people who come in,” she says. “Even if you think a resale shop isn’t for you, try it out. You might be surprised.” The Golden Fig, 3041 Olive St., St. Louis, facebook.com/thegoldenfigresale

Five Thoughts

FOR FALL By Frank Cusumano

THESE THINGS I BELIEVE:

I believe that on a 1-to-10 scale, the PGA Championship was an 11. It may have been a little sweltering, with even a little rain, but not even Mother Nature could have spoiled that special week at Bellerive, featuring crowds of at least 50,000 each day, Tiger Woods in contention until the end and a genuine superstar in Brooks Koepka taking the title. I’ll never forget the moment when Tiger walked across the walkway with the adoring crowd cheering and him waving. I get chills every time I see the video. St. Louis can put on big-time sporting events.

I wonder where the PGA Championship ranks in our town’s history of great events. It’s higher than the Winter Classic. It’s doesn’t quite equal Game 6 of the 2011 World Series – the PGA lasted longer, but nothing can ever top the greatest World Series game ever played, with St. Louis kid David Freese hitting like Willie Mays. The triple-overtime, 1993 Braggin’ Rights game between Illini and Missouri might also be in the conversation. For some reason, though, I have a tough time putting in any Rams moments …

Mike Shildt is a good manager. He’s a great guy. He seems ideal for this job for years to come. Who represents the “Cardinal Way” more than the guy who reads George Kissell’s pamphlet about how to teach and play the game of baseball? I will say this: The two most important things in life are good friends and a good bullpen. What Shildt has going for him in the bullpen is a big advantage to what Mike Matheny had going for him. Matheny had to trot out Greg Holland, Tyler Lyons and Brett Cecil. Shildt gets to throw Dakota Hudson, Daniel Poncedeleon and Tyler Webb. Edge? Shildt.

The two most important things in life are good friends and a good bullpen.

I have always had a theory that for the most part, if you want to look at how you think a person will turn out, look at their parents. Sure, there are many exceptions. However, normally, if you have a really nice father, there’s a good chance the son or daughter will turn out. Or if you have a really sweet mother, the kids often turn out. I say this because Matt Carpenter is one of the nicest athletes we have ever had in our town. His parents are career teachers. I’ve met the dad a few times, and he couldn’t be nicer. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

The older you get, the more comfortable you want your clothing to be. If I had my druthers, I’d wear nothing but golf pants, golf shirts and Adidas dress shoes. There’s a new shirt out from Mizzen+Main – it’s a dress shirt you could actually swing a golf club in. Phil Mickelson does. Also, those Lululemon clothing items are really comfortable. When I wear a sport coat, I like a Jack Victor from Sam Cavato. However, when I’m done in television, I’m not sure if I’ll ever put on a tie again. T-shirts and shorts from that point on.

Bullying Basics

return to school during the past two weeks likely cheered many if not most area children. Some, though, likely dreaded that return because they knew it also would mark a return to being bullied. Always a scholastic hazard, bullying lately has been increasing in incidence. In fact, the FBI – which tracks cyberbullying complaints through its Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3 – reports that the number of students being bullied grows annually. Also, bullying continues to evolve – metastasize might strike some as a more apt verb – and some new avenue for it seemingly appears with clockwork regularity. The term cyberbullying, as an example, has existed a mere two decades. What can you as a parent do to address bullying? A few suggestions follow: Listen to your child if he or she expresses concerns. Encourage your child to be open with you. Assure him or her of your support, stressing that you won’t think poorly of any child being bullied. Remind your child that bullies thrive on secrecy, so exposure of bullying remains essential.

Monitor your child’s email, internet and social media activity in order to hold bullies accountable. Discuss bullying with representatives of your child’s school, and hold teachers and school administrators, including system leaders and school board members, responsible for providing a safe, nurturing environment for your child’s education and development. Contact law enforcement agencies, if necessary. Otherwise, how can you teach your child to deal with a bully? Again, a few suggestions: First, because bullies seek attention and reactions, tough though it may be, your child should ignore bullies and bullying, and try not to “engage.” Second, to lessen the likelihood of cyberbullying, teach your child not to share secrets, personal information or photos on the internet. Third, because most bullying takes place in areas with diminished or nonexistent adult supervision – especially at school, such as in bathrooms, on the bus and in crowded hallways – your child should avoid such areas, if possible, or go with a group of friends. Fourth, encourage your child to support others being

Migraine

TeCH TOOLS By Connie Mitchell | Photo by Sarah Conroy

Apps and other digital technology are making the management of migraines less of a headache.

Chris Cardinal

ore than 39 million people in the United States alone – about 12 percent of the American population – experience migraines, according to the Migraine Research Foundation. And as anyone who’s ever had a migraine knows, this particular type of headache can be severe and disabling. One key to migraine management involves determining what initiates a migraine. Foods, stress and environment are all potential triggers, and figuring out which specific things cause one for an individual can be tricky. Fortunately, technological solutions can assist, and one such tool was created by St. Louis resident Chris Cardinal. Cardinal co-founded Welltodo LLC, a company established when he and business partners Jim Console and Will Landecker created Migraine Coach, a smartphone app that helps users track migraine triggers and uses the data to help prevent and treat migraines. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based SensorRx acquired Welltodo last month and is migrating Migraine Coach users to its similar MigrnX app. Cardinal serves as a strategic consultant for SensorRx, helping navigate the emerging and rapidly evolving digital health market while advising on product developments and doing knowledge – ChRiS CARdinAl transfer from Welltodo. MigrnX, available as a free download from the iTunes and Google Play stores, allows users to record the onset, duration and severity of a migraine and mark potential triggers and medication use in order to identify headache patterns. Users can add notes, such as specific circumstances or stressors they experience in conjunction with a particular migraine, and request a monthly summary of the data to share with care providers. Although anyone can download MigrnX, access is restricted to certain health care systems. “This is critical for our migraine management system, as we work with

About half the users who actively used Migraine Coach for at least eight months achieved a 19 percent reduction in migraine frequency.

hospitals to maximize the impact to both clinicians and patients,” notes the MigrnX website. “We ask that you please contact your health care provider to get an access code. If he or she is not familiar with MigrnX, they should contact us at migrnx@sensorrx.io.” “The company is in conversations with neurologists at several leading health systems to bring the MigrnX program to their patients,” Cardinal says. “To accelerate the go-to-market efforts, SensorRx made the acquisition of Migraine Coach to quickly increase the total number of users.” Initial data Cardinal gathered from Migraine Coach users indicates the value of such patient-driven clinical tracking technology, Cardinal continues. “About half the users who actively used Migraine Coach for at least eight months achieved a 19 percent reduction in migraine frequency,” he says. Cardinal adds that the data would need a third party to perform blind studies to make any marketing claims. However, he suggests that this type of digital tracking could prove to reduce patients’ migraine frequency, assist physicians in medical management by better understanding a specific patient’s patterns, and save money through fewer medical treatment expenses and work absences by app users. “SensorRx’s growth strategy is focused on integrating into established health care systems that have troves of data that we can utilize to provide a more integrated and interoperable experience for chronic disease sufferers and their clinicians alike,” Cardinal says. From his St. Louis base, he plans to help identify new markets for the company’s technology. “As a new member of the SensorRx team located in St. Louis, I’m reaching out to SSM Health and BJC HealthCare to share with them the power of the MigrnX solution for their clinicians and migraine suffering population,” Cardinal notes, adding that he’s in the early stages of these relationships. “Since this transaction just took place, I don't have deep knowledge of specific physician usage yet.” The search for technologies to help people better manage their health, in cooperation with their physicians, also continues to drive Cardinal. “In certain cases, such as migraine, depression, sleep, mental health, smoking cessation and obesity, it is not clear that a drug alone really is the best approach,” he says. “I’ll be focused on ensuring that the products produced by SensorRx effectively and efficiently solve customers’ pain points.” SensorRx, sensorrx.io

he restaurant 50/Fifty Kitchen in St. Louis’ North Hampton neighborhood caters to all kinds of diets, having opened in July for private events and live jazz nights, before offering an eclectic dinner menu four nights a week starting on Aug. 1. St. Louis native Bob Madden – whose résumé includes more than 30 years of experience at businesses including Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in Frontenac – envisioned the restaurant while becoming inspired by the versatility of wholesome plant-based fare. “The whole concept is really very simple,” Madden says. “It’s half vegetarian and half not. The reason behind it was because I started eating a vegetarian and

vegan diet, and I enjoyed the flavors so much that I wanted to share them with people. What I found was that my friends that were meat eaters didn’t necessarily want to go to the same restaurants I did. I thought there had to be a-way-to-do-both-things-at-once place.” Madden’s establishment fills approximately 3,000 square feet, with around 100 seats inside and another 40 on an outdoor patio. He characterizes the interior as clean, simple and warm, with shades like green and eggplant giving a nod to the vegetable-forward menu. Physical highlights include a sliding barn door, Edison bulbs on rodeo-style lamps and a ceiling fixture composed of chandeliers and string lights to create a streetscape-style canopy. The event space can accommodate everything from small gatherings to

Madden hired executive chef Dana Holland and chef Vince Anderson to develop and carry out the dinner menu, which will change seasonally and feature ingredients from local purveyors like Tony’s Family Farms in Chesterfield. Selections include small plates such as Pizzabellos – portobello caps marinated in balsamic and stuffed with caramelized onions, garlic spinach and caperspiked tomatoes, topped with vegan Parmesan. Shrimp black bean cakes, another option, comprise chipotlemarinated shrimp over a crispy black bean cake with house-made pico de gallo. Entrées include a cauliflower steak seared in coconut oil, served on chermoula sauce, topped with either a

Desserts include milk and cookies, featuring oatmeal-raisin cookies by pastry chef Alex Feick of Maplewood’s Prioritized Pastries, served with a glass of cold Ripple pea protein milk. From the bar, guests can choose from local craft beers by the bottle and can, as well as a curated wine list. Handcrafted cocktail options – such as a tribute to Madden’s mother, a classic Manhattan – use locally made spirits from companies like New Haven, Missouri’s Pinckney Bend Distillery and St. Louis’ StilL 630. “I really hope we can introduce some more plantbased food to people,” Madden says. “Regardless of whether someone is a meat eater, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or dairy-free, we can all share a table.”

S‌ teven Woolf, Augustin Family Artistic Director at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, laughs after being asked if he scheduled The Play That Goes Wrong as the finale of the 2018-19 season, his last at The Rep’s helm. “Yes, of course,” he answers. “The Play That Goes Wrong is one of the funniest plays I’ve ever seen. I thought that it would be great if we could get it. We’re the only company in the country so far [scheduled] to produce it.” The work in question, which won the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and a 2017 Tony Award for Best Scenic Design, will receive its American regional theater premiere at The Rep. It will culminate a Mainstage season which opened Wednesday, Sept. 5, with Evita; following that musical are the drama A Doll’s House Part 2 (Oct. 10 to Nov. 4), the return of A Christmas Story (Nov. 28 to Dec. 23), the dramas Alabama Story (Jan. 2 to 27) and Oslo (Feb. 6 to March 3) and The Play That Goes Wrong (March 13 to April 7). Milwaukee native Woolf earned two degrees in theater at the University of Wisconsin. After eight years in New York City, he hit The Rep in 1980, serving as its managing director, production manager and interim artistic director before being appointed artistic director in June 1986. “I never thought I’d be here this long,” he says. “I wanted to produce and to direct. I thought I’d be here three or four years, make contacts in the theater world and then see what happens. But The Rep kept asking me to do challenging and unpredictable things, and I stayed on.” Woolf’s arrival coincided with rocky times at The Rep, artistically and financially, less than 20 years after its founding in 1966. “Part of the charge was to get us pointed in the right direction,” he says. “There had been some turbulence. It takes a while to grow, and luckily, I was surrounded with a staff willing to sign on and knew what we had to do to move the quality forward. We also had a board wanting to support us and a community interested in our success.” That latter element is vital in Woolf’s view. “The community needs to be behind you with your artistic enterprise,” he notes. “Not everyone will love everything, but the community supported what we were choosing to do and kept us moving forward. The community felt invested in what we were doing, and we challenged them with a wide range [of productions]. We happened to all come together at the right time.” Woolf has directed 43 shows to date at The Rep and produced more than 300 plays there. Since 2006, The Rep has earned a combined 100 Kevin Kline and St. Louis Theater Circle Awards for onstage excellence. In 2016, the St. Louis Arts and Education Council recognized Woolf’s legacy with a Lifetime Achievement in the Arts award. Recently, The Rep announced Hana S. Sharif will succeed Woolf as its artistic director, following his

retirement at this season’s end. Although not involved in her selection by The Rep’s Board of Directors, Woolf calls the current associate artistic director at Baltimore Center Stage a “very exciting choice.” The Rep in recent years has added the successful Ignite! new play readings under Seth Gordon, and for a while 15 or so years back ran the acclaimed Off Ramp schedule. “Starting a new program in a recession might be a lesson learned [from Off Ramp],” Woolf notes. “People loved the programming choices, and it gave us the ability to have a more urban sensibility, but we were asking a lot of our subscriber base to go to Mainstage, Studio and Off Ramp shows. But it was fun in its pioneering sense.” The burgeoning of local professional theater in the last two decades especially has been noteworthy, he says. “The growth of theater here has been pretty impressive,” Woolf observes. “I stand back and look around and say there’s a lot going on here. We have a lot of people who want to express themselves through this art form, and the proliferation of different companies has really been significant.” That explosion in quantity also sparked more local performers as possible Rep casting resources. “There’s so much going on here, you’re seeing work on various stages in town now,” Woolf says. “[Performers] can get out there and practice their craft. There are more opportunities, so the acting will get stronger, and you just grow that way.” Gratifyingly, The Rep’s national reputation has grown substantially over the last three decades. “People are aware of us,” Woolf says. “Actors and directors and designers feel really good about the work they do here and how well received they are by audiences in this town. They say that our audiences lean forward in their seats. Our reputation is very strong, not only in the physical productions but also offstage with our housing and how we take care of actors.” So what does he plan after The Rep’s new season concludes? Traveling? Reading? Directing? “All of that,” Woolf says with a chuckle. “I’m available come next June and looking for work.”

Soul TOM BLOOD

ART and

n The Story of Art, his eminently readable 688page overview of the subject, E.H. Gombrich characterizes the paintings of the Belgian René Magritte as “memorable precisely because they are inexplicable.” One can’t help suspecting St. Louisan Tom Blood – whose Memories of June, a 2018 acrylic measuring 40 by 30 inches, appears here – might beg to differ, given his description of that canvas. “A man in a bowler hat stands with his back to the viewer, waist high in a field of flowers,” Blood says. “Next to him, a mask with a woman’s face on it is floating against a cloudy sky. Does the mask represent June? Are these memories the man is holding onto on a brilliant June day? These are the thoughts that I want the viewer to have in their head.” The derby-topped dandy, of course, should serve as an instantly recognizable prompt to anyone with even a smattering of knowledge about 20th-century fine art. “That figure showed up in many of Magritte’s paintings,” Blood explains, alluding to such iconic works as Golconda from 1953, The Mysteries of the Horizon from 1955 and The Son of Man from 1964, “and he turns up in quite a few of mine as well, in an ongoing homage to my favorite painter of all time.” (It also bears noting that the

facial domino may reference, by accident or by design, The Age of Enlightenment from 1967.) “Like Magritte, I love to paint ideas,” Blood relates. “I want my paintings to raise questions in the viewer’s mind and create a sense of mystery. So many artists deal in the abstract. With my paintings, it’s quite clear what they are – you just don’t know why.” By way of background, Blood describes himself as an artistic autodidact who always loved to draw but nonetheless earned a collegiate degree in journalism. Thereafter, he served as a writer and creative director at a number of St. Louis-based advertising agencies. In 1989, a Christmas gift of an airbrush – an atomizer using compressed air to spray paint, nowadays increasingly superseded by digital processes – prompted him to revisit his artistic leanings, Blood notes, and he “began creating paintings using a combination of airbrush and acrylic paint.” As Fate would have it, though, his painterly ways again went on hiatus with the birth of his and his wife’s third child, which necessitated the conversion of his domestic studio into a basement bedroom. That 17-year break ended in 2014 at the urging of his eldest son, also named Tom, and Blood resumed painting. “As an artist, I continually seek to paint the

impossible – or at least the highly improbable,” Blood remarks regarding his creative process. “I love it when people ask me, ‘What does this mean?’ or ‘How did you ever think of that?’ “So how do I think of these things? I let my subconscious roam. I jot down ideas and sometimes use words, and will do image searches based on those words. All of my paintings begin on my sketchpad as small drawings less than 3 inches high. Once I decide on what to paint – which is always the most difficult decision – I upscale the drawing, free-handing it onto the canvas, and then the painting process begins.” Finally, Blood muses on his progress as a practicing artist. “As I continue my painting journey, I feel that I’m developing my own distinct style and look, and I’ll continue to try and get better every time I start a new canvas,” he says. “I want to surprise and delight, and ultimately, I want the viewer to want to see more.”

Lucky 1 Even after a dozen years, one of the metro area’s most dependably interesting venues for visual art captivates with its aesthetic variety and wit.

riskaidekaphobia be damned, fear of the number following 12 apparently has clouded in no way the opening of the latest season of Bruno L. David’s namesake Clayton art showcase. Last Friday, Bruno David Gallery commenced its 13th season with a quartet of solo exhibitions running until Sept. 29, and both the gallerist and the artists involved all seem enthused about that turn of events. The season’s opening comprises “Concrete Tapestry” from E.R.O. (Experimental Research Office), “Hustle and Glo” from Justin Henry Miller, “Who Discovers the Discoverer?” from Yvonne Osei and

“Third Post” from Jon Howard Young. Amid installing those four exhibitions, David reflects briefly on the art of the art gallerist, starting with mulling the precepts, aesthetic or otherwise, that customarily guide him in presenting work in his Forsyth Boulevard showcase. “When deciding on the exhibitions at the gallery, which are usually scheduled 12 months ahead, I think about the connections between the artists,” he says. “For example, a group of artists might be working on texture, so I would try to show them separately but together at the gallery, and show the viewer the development of their works and the connections between each other – as recently, with Carmon Colangelo, James Austin Murray, Bunny Burson and Laura Beard. “[A given roster] can be about texture, subject, message, global events, philosophy. Other times, an artist will have every room in the gallery, like the upcoming show by plein-air artist Ralph Nagel in October, because each room will present a different location within his practice and travels around the world. Sometimes there might be no connection – just good artists making interesting art.” He also succinctly defines what led him to assemble E.R.O., Miller, Osei and Young: “The connection between these four artists is about demonstrating their thoughtfulness within their practice and who they are as an artist.” David likewise addresses the factors guiding him in physically situating any individual artist’s works within the gallery’s various rooms – whether, say, placement derives from solely spatial considerations or from a desire for something like a visual crescendo by sequencing various artists throughout the gallery in toto. “In most cases, it will be a combination of the visual and spatial,” David says. “Curating exhibitions that flow well is almost always about the space and the traveling experience between the artworks and the rooms. It’s the most challenging part of a curator’s job – the flow versus the counterflow experience for the visitor.” Finally and enthusiastically, David reveals what about the individual works of E.R.O., Miller, Osei and Young most intrigues him as an art devotee, citing their fervor for self-expression “in a world without parameters” and their “firm belief in the power of art to change lives and impact people”: “The passions of these artists shine through in their work. It matters! They matter!”

“Third Post”

“Third Post” from multidisciplinary artist Jon Howard Young, fabric-based sculptures designed to deceive the eye. Young leads with a spooky, apocalyptic question regarding his own exhibition: “Have you ever been driving alone or along with someone at night on a long stretch of dark road, and it dawns on you that if the world were to end behind or before you, you wouldn’t know? Road signs and objects in this space illuminated by the headlights of your car can become significant markers of orientation and direction. To measure direction from where we have come to where we are headed can have correspondingly orienting and disorienting effects. Here symbols become waymarks through imagination and perceptions of reality.”

Waymark Margin 8 (Which Desert), 2018, fabric-based sculpture

“Hustle and Glo” “Hustle and Glo” from painter Justin Henry Miller, multiple-leveled, layered works on paper that act almost as auto-palimpsests. Miller has this to say about his own exhibition: “My intent is to cue viewers into the forced coexistence of disorder and synergy in the pieces. With their dense layering and jarring color juxtapositions, I like to think of each individual work as housing multiple paintings waiting to be ciphered. As for the images that populate these works, many are drawn from a combination of personal narratives and a whimsy nostalgia. It’s my hope that viewers investigate these works multiple times and make new discoveries.”

“Concrete Tapestry” “Concrete Tapestry” from the collaborative group E.R.O. – Samuel Bell-Hart, Nathaniel Elberfeld, Lavender Tessmer and Alexandra Waller – an architecturally influenced, high-tech exercise in melding building materials and textiles. Regarding the group exhibition, Elberfeld states: “We would like to engage the public by offering a series of apparent contradictions: massiveness and delicacy, the traditional and the contemporary, and digital design and analog assembly.”

Diogo de Azambuja, 2018, video still

“Who Discovers the Discoverer?” “Who Discovers the Discoverer?” from multidisciplinary artist Yvonne Osei, a collection of photos and videos exploring the world of today in various ways. “My hope is for viewers to approach the exhibition with open-mindedness and to receive my work with a level of vulnerability,” Osei says of her work. “I want people to walk away in a healthy state of perplexity because it’s in this very state that normalcy is assessed in a different light. The core of the exhibition rests on challenging fragmented historical and colonial narratives, and breaking normalcies: breaking the normalcy of the aesthetics of beauty, hierarchical orders of power, inclusion and exclusion, self-identity, ownership of historical narrative and, most importantly, the normalcy of the discoverer and the discovered.”

ER SA RY

Kathleen T. Zellner has earned national recognition as a fighter for justice, by successfully defending those whose rights have been violated. She has been at the center of several high profile cases, including the current homicide conviction of Steven Avery (who was also the subject of the documentary series on a previous conviction, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making a Murdererâ&#x20AC;?); and Ryan Ferguson, whose 3,533 days of custody for a wrongful murder conviction resulted in an $11 million verdict. Since opening her law office in 1991, Ms. Zellner has obtained more than $108 million in verdicts and settlements for her clients. She has the distinction of being the only attorney in the U.S. who won five multi-million dollar verdicts in less than one year.
