from the

EDITOR ‌I’M SURE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US COULD THINK OF something – anything – that used to be a trend, eventually losing its fizzle, becoming nothing but a memory, then raised from the dead (or rescued from the back of your closet), rejuvenated and revamped years later. I personally love this evolution, but especially seeing how the old is made new – whatever it may be. To me, hooped embroidery is one such example. It reminds me of something my grandma would do to kill time. But when we came across Gulush Threads, we certainly knew it was an old trend rejuvenated and made completely fabulous. Starting on page 33, LN contributing writer Julia Cain shares the story and inspiration behind Gulush Threads – a bold, inspiring embroidery business based in Illinois. Not only do Kristen Gula’s works of art bring a smile to my face, but also they truly make me want to attempt the craft myself! We hope you truly enjoy this story and find inspiration in it as well. All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – Gateway chapter

Lighting the Way to a

very September, thousands gather in Forest Park at twilight for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light the Night Walk. Attendees light colored lanterns and walk through the park with one unified goal: working toward a cancer-free world. Participants of LLS’s Light the Night Walk have all been touched by cancer in different ways. Some are cancer survivors, some currently have cancer and some have friends or family members battling cancer. Some also attend to remember those who lost their fight to cancer. The evening will begin at 5 p.m., with a powerful survivor ceremony beginning at 7:15 p.m. The walk will begin at 7:30 p.m. Participants will be able to honor their loved ones at the Remembrance Pavilion, which will be open all evening long. The night will conclude with a fireworks finale around 9 p.m. Ameren CEO Warner Baxter, this year’s event chairman, says last year’s event attracted 18,000 attendees, and he’s hoping for another large turnout this year. “The St. Louis event is the 14th largest amongst the 200-plus Light the Night walks in the country,” he says. “Since 2014, the St. Louis walk has nearly doubled in attendees and grown revenue by more than 30 percent.” In 2017 alone, the Gateway Chapter has invested $5.9 million in research to find cures, advocating for access to those cures passing oral chemo parity in Arkansas, Illinois and Missouri; contributed more than $2 million in financial aid to patients; served more than 5,000 patients and families with financial support, education and support groups; provided information on cancer and volunteerism in 430 schools; and supported children returning to school after treatment. Baxter says the goal for this year’s walk is $1.3 million, which will all go toward supporting local patients and families. “The Light the Night event brings light to the darkness of cancer and brings families together in a large support group – all who are fighting to find a cure,” Baxter says. “I’m looking forward to thousands of people from our great community coming together for one evening, standing shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand to help beat blood cancer, to support the real heroes in the

fight against cancer – the patients, the families, the caregivers, the doctors and the researchers – and to honor those we have lost to this disease.”

honored heroeS

During this year’s walk, LLS is honoring two children who are battling cancer. Four-year-old Thomas Lorenz has been fighting B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia since his diagnosis last October. His mom, Carol Anne Lorenz, says her family has a long history of leukemia. Her brother had it when he was 3 years old and again when he was 18. “One of the neat things I’ve gotten to see through this amazing organization is how the treatments and protocols have been bettered by groups like LLS,” she says. “Thomas has high-risk leukemia, and it’s good to know someone is in my corner and fighting for my child.” Twelve-year-old Jadyn Williams is another honored hero this year. She was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia after Christmas last year and is currently receiving chemotherapy. Her father, Quentin Williams, says that his family is proud to be a face for LLS this year. “[They’ve] provided our family with the opportunity to share Jadyn’s story with others, so they can be inspired to have hope in fighting this disease,” he says. Williams says when you come to the realization that cancer has “smacked you in the face,” emotions run high. Having an organization like LLS that has the resources to provide the pertinent information has been a huge blessing, he says. “You need to know that organizations like LLS are working toward finding a cure because you are praying, hoping and asking for a cure for that loved one – in our case, our daughter.” Become a part of LLS’s Gateway Chapter by visiting lls.org/gateway or calling 314-590-2230.

rateful patient families of SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation took part in its sixth annual Ambassador Choice Awards event to honor the doctors, nurses and other caregivers who provided exceptional health care for their children. The event is part of the Glennon Ambassadors Program, designed for grateful families who want to “give back” to SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital through service, stewardship or peer-to-peer support. This year’s festivities began with a cocktail reception, followed by an Oscar-like video presentation honoring each of the nominees, including testimonials from grateful families and patients. The award team reviews hundreds of nominations and selects the winners. Caregivers were notified of their nominations via mail, and winners were presented with their awards from a grateful patient family member the night of the event.

he annual Whitney M. Young Awards Gala at the National Urban League’s conference packed more than its usual star power when musical artists Vanessa Williams and Jamie Foxx surprised the audience at the end of the evening. “The unexpected concert was a generous gift from our conference cochairs, Dave Steward of World Wide Technology and Michael Neidorff of Centene,” says National Urban League president and CEO Marc H. Morial. “Both Jamie Foxx and Vanessa Williams not only are phenomenally talented entertainers but they have been active in promoting artists of color and expanding the influence of black entertainers at all levels of the industry. It was our honor to welcome them to our gala.” The concert capped an evening of honors, including the presentation of the President’s Award to St. Louis music and soul food legend Robbie Montgomery and U.S. Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay Jr. and the Living Legend Award to Richard G. Hatcher, the former mayor of Gary, Indiana, celebrating the 50th anniversary of his election (with Carl Stokes of Cleveland) as one of the first black mayors of a major American city.

Pain relief with alternatives to opioid therapy When most people think of pain management, opioids often come to mind. Unfortunately, too many patients become dependent on opioids, often with devastating consequences. Washington University Pain Management is different. We focus on improving function and quality of life, and we don’t believe opioids are the only way to accomplish this.

AT YOUR FIRST VISIT: After a referral to the Washington University Pain Management Center, we evaluate your pain, review your life goals and discuss different therapies. Treatment options include non-opioid medications, physical therapy and psychological support, as well as newer therapies like spinal cord stimulation and radiofrequency ablation. We look at every therapy option to alleviate pain and return people to their lives without opioids. CUTTING-EDGE THERAPIES: Recent advancements in spinal cord stimulation — or SCS — have made it appropriate for a broader range of patients, including those with back and leg pain due to disc and degenerative back issues; peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes or chemotherapy; complex regional pain syndrome of an arm or leg; neck and arm pain due to problems in the neck; and pain due to nerve injury or lesions on the nerves of the arms or legs. Patients with widespread pain like fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis are offered other therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy, physical therapy and interventional treatment options, when appropriate. Patients with joint pain in the spine, knees or hips may be candidates for radiofrequency ablation. This treatment typically offers pain relief for six to 24 months and provides time for patients and their physicians to find additional treatment options.

PHOTO BY DIANE ANDERSON

THE TAKE-AWAY: We have more effective and advanced pain-relief options than ever before, allowing us to move away from opioid-based treatment.

Limitations

E l i m i n at i n g

Edited by Amanda Dahl | Photo by Sarah Conroy

rthritis takes a heavy toll on individuals, loved ones and, ultimately, the entire country. The No. 1 cause of disability in the nation racks up 172 million workdays lost each year and billions of dollars in health care costs. One in five people will receive a diagnosis during their lifetime of one of the 100-plus types of arthritis. “Children are affected as well,” Kim Rosenthal, Missouri | Arthritis Foundation development manager, says. “Arthritis affects all ages.” More than 300,000 youth and countless young adults in their prime are afflicted, facing significant pain and limitation throughout their lives. Arthritis Foundation helps patients to become better equipped at managing and controlling their disease. Personalized medicine, grounded in proven science, can eliminate trial and error. Gaps between patients, providers and researchers can be bridged. Patients can miss less school and work due to illness – and treatment costs don’t have to drain pocketbooks as much as they do today. “Arthritis Foundation’s four health care initiatives touch everybody,” Deb Winzen, volunteer and marketing chair, says. “[The organization] really embraces patients’ feedback – more than ever before. The No. 1 complaint from patients in any form of health care is that they feel like they’re not being

heard.” (For a full list of these initiatives, see below.) Alpha Omicron Pi [AOΠ] recently joined Arthritis Foundation as a national partner. Philanthropic work always has been a main focus for AOΠ, which targets issues important to women and their communities. In 1967, AOΠ chose arthritis as its official philanthropy because of its impact. Since then, collegiate and alumnae chapters have raised more than $3 million to fund programs and research initiatives. At the national Juvenile Arthritis Conferences, children received and fell in love with their gifts of a stuffed panda, the unofficial mascot of AOΠ. For seven decades, Arthritis Foundation has led the fight to advance scientific discovery for better treatments and a cure – for all types of arthritis. It is the largest source of nongovernmental funding for research leading to new arthritis therapies, developing tremendous new treatments and making progress toward cures. Newly diagnosed patients and caregivers looking for resources and trusted information can find the help they need through Arthritis Foundation.

Painting With Thread By Brittany Nay | Photos courtesy of Kristen Gula

LadueNews.com | September 8, 2017 33

Gulush Threads hand-stitches nature-themed embroidery with heartfelt to hilarious messages.

risten Gula loves to hear an embroidery needle popping through a piece of fabric – it’s the sweet sound of progress as she handmakes each stitch of a project that could take anywhere from one hour to 12 hours. “It’s like I’m painting with thread,” the southern Illinois artist says. Seven years ago, before embroidery was commonly found on social media sites as it often is today, Gula used vintage embroidering books to teach herself the art. “I received an embroidery for my wedding, and I thought, ‘I think I can do that – I want to do that!’” she says. The former copy editor (currently a working stay-at-home mom) learned six basic embroidery stitches: backstitch, whipped backstitch, satin stitch, stem stitch, straight stitch and French knot. From there, Gula began creating her own pieces and posting photos of them online. Soon, friends started to ask for custom pieces and encouraged Gula to sell her work online. In 2013, she launched an Etsy site that quickly began receiving 70 orders a month, and her handembroidery business was born. When Gula began embroidering, she couldn’t find patterns that appealed to her aesthetic – all things feminine, fun and floral. So she started crafting her own designs for embroidery hoops and do-it-yourself embroidery kits, all inspired by her own personal style and love of flowers. “I have 10-foot-tall sunflowers in my backyard, and I always have a bouquet on my dining room table, but I’m sad when the flowers die,” she says. “With my floral embroidery, you can hang it on the wall as an heirloom that you keep –

they are ‘forever flowers.’” Today, Gula’s Swansea, Illinois-based Gulush Threads offers designs with a modern take on vintage embroidery, featuring bright, colorful florals and funny or inspiring sayings created from a variety of handmade stitches. “My company name, Gulush, is a combination of my last name and the word lush – because I want my work to be full,” she explains. Gulush Threads’ most popular handmade embroidery hoops feature floral borders and bouquets, with sayings such as “Bloom Like a Wildflower,” “A Mother’s Love Blooms Eternal” and “At All Times Grateful.” Additional customer favorites often have a funny twist, including a cat silhouette with the saying “Meow Sweet Meow” and a batch of doughnut-themed flowers featuring the phrase “But First, Donuts.” For those who want to try their hand at the art, Gulush Threads offers do-it-yourself kits that include an embroidery hoop, a needle and thread, as well as fabric with a preprinted pattern and stitch guide to follow. Gula uses threads from international textile giant DMC for all of her handmade creations and also has designed 10 embroidery patterns that were released on Sunday, Sept. 3, on DMC’s website. Through social media and DMC’s website, Gulush Threads has garnered a lot of attention – so much so that Gula is writing a book focused on teaching people how to embroider florals, which is set to be released next June through Amazon and major craft retailers such as Jo-Ann Fabric. The self-made artisan also passes on her passion to others through embroidery workshops at Bowood Farms in St. Louis. “You learn six

basic stitches and work on a pattern, so anyone – beginners to [experienced attendees] – can do it,” Gula says, adding that classes have focused on embroidering florals and other nature-inspired patterns onto hoops, clothing and accessories. While Gula is juggling workshops and writing a book – as well as raising two kids (ages 3 and 6) and four chickens – she is offering premade embroidery pieces on her website this fall, with a goal of returning to accepting custom orders for the holiday season. Gula’s custom pieces have ranged from florals surrounding a client’s favorite hymn to a young girl dancing in a field of wildflowers – and each took about 12 hours to complete. “When you’ve been working on something for 12 hours and you finish it, it feels like you gave birth,” Gula says. “When I sell it, I feel like I’m losing a part of myself, but it makes me feel good to make someone else happy.” Gula also plans to bring back her jewelry line, which includes leather cuffs, and sterling silver rings and earrings, all showcasing handembroidered floral patterns. For the latest updates on Gulush Threads workshops, custom orders and new offerings, embroidery lovers can sign up for its online newsletter or visit its Instagram page. With two kids, four chickens and a blossoming business, Gula is grateful that an embroidery hoop, needle and thread can be taken anywhere – from her backyard to the park. “I love the possibilities with embroidery,” Gula says. “With just six stitches, you can do anything.” Gulush Threads, gulush.com

St.Louis

tatistics show moving is one of the most stressful life situations typically experienced. One local agency aims to remove all the guesswork for clients moving to St. Louis. “Realtors should be ambassadors for their community,” Jill Butler, the owner of RedKey Realty Leaders, says. “Everybody at RedKey has to have the Realtor distinction and agrees to adhere to a higher standard. When I hire agents, I want ones who are passionate about real estate, their clients and their communities.” That elite training proves effective at teaching agents the various aspects that make up and mold a community. “There’s talk about, ‘Oh, we won’t need agents. Someday, an app will do everything,’” Butler comments. “I disagree. It isn’t a mathematical formula. It’s about knowing who is the best architect,

By Amanda Dahl Photo by Sarah Conroy interior designer or electrician. It’s about who’s a good pediatrician or where to find a new dentist. You need someone who knows the community, how to get things done and how to connect people.” When creating RedKey, Butler set out with the intention of not creating a franchise, but building the ultimate local source for clients. “We started five years ago wanting to be an independent brand. Our goal was to create a local brand that gave outstanding attention to clients and a unique customer service experience. Think of when you go to Applebee’s and have a hamburger. It may be good, but then compare that burger to a well-known St. Louis hamburger spot – it’s a different experience. We wanted to be that local experience.” Butler’s love for her city inspired that approach at RedKey – and it is a great pleasure for her and her team to bring in outsiders. “St. Louis is an awesome

place to live,” she boasts. “People who move from other parts of the country are always surprised. We need to take pride in our city. It has everything. Forest Park is fantastic. So is the Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum and Saint Louis Zoo – all of which are free. From cultural institutions to our sports teams, St. Louis blows people away.” Moving may always trigger stress, but RedKey recognizes how to eliminate the trickiest part – showing how the unknown can make the perfect sanctuary for you and your family. “It’s a challenge to move to a new place, especially when relocating,” Butler says. “You need to have an emotional intelligence, so you can help clients through the process. Professionalism in the real estate world should be about warmth and empathy.” Luckily, at RedKey, that’s exactly what it’s all about.

AGENT PROFILE

Susan Cox Holden OF JANET MCAFEE REAL ESTATE

By Amanda Dahl

S‌ usan Cox Holden knew her path long before she found herself on it. Pursuing her job interests required bravado, but it was tenacity that helped her to launch a career. “I always had an interest in real estate, homes and home décor,” she says. “As a single person, though, I worried about a 100 percent commission job, so I did not get licensed until I married. My husband has a background in real estate development, but held no license in Missouri. So, I went to night classes with him and continued on to get my broker’s license as well.” Holden’s almost three decades of experience have taught her to come out swinging and roll with the punches. “It is a challenge, since the housing industry is tied to the economy, which changes – sometimes rapidly – and we have little control over that,” she explains.

“In tougher times, we have to be more creative – but the means to the end are the same. It is key to educate buyers and sellers as to what they can expect throughout the process, and what they need to do to be ready to buy or sell in the market in which they find themselves.” From organizing to packing and everything in between, Holden has a great respect for the many complicated parts of buying and selling a home. “I love putting people together with the things they want,” she shares. “I love wearing many hats and being in the position to share my knowledge and expertise with clients, including my contacts for contractors and service providers. One of the reasons I chose Janet McAfee is that I strongly identified with its philosophy of legendary service and personal integrity. ‘Simply … superior service’ – that is how I do business.”

Watch By Julia Cain | Photos courtesy of Everest

Everest Horology Productsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end-link technology has revolutionized the watch industry with its ability to customize a Rolex without sacrificing the integrity of the design.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2017 | LadueNews.com

hen it comes to luxuries, Rolex watches almost always top the list. The iconic timepieces are both symbolic and practical and are meant to be worn for a lifetime – but until only a few years ago, Rolex wearers looking for a new, custom band outside of the company’s official offerings were stuck with less-than-ideal options that left an unsightly gap near the case around the watch face. What if an aftermarket strap could connect directly to the watchcase with a curved end? It would look like it truly belonged with the accessory, as it would extend from the case and remove the undesirable gap. It would give Rolex owners a way to customize their high-priced wristwatches. That was the idea of St. Louisan and Everest Horology Products founder and CEO Michael DiMartini. The concept – now known as Everest’s patented end-link technology – came to him in 2012 on the evening of his eldest son’s birth. Once the family returned home from the hospital, he reached out to friend David Barnes, who was instantly sold on the idea. Barnes, now president of Everest, provided the seed money, and the two got started. Michael DiMartini Fast-forward five years, and Everest bands are popular with Rolex wearers worldwide, with watch experts like A Blog to Watch saying: “Without question, Everest leather straps bring a new wearing experience for Rolex wearers. Everest leather straps possess the design, fit and integrity that Rolex wearers expect, and at a price point that is less than what a factory original strap costs.” Everest’s Swiss-made products are available for David Barnes more than a dozen Rolex products and will expand to Tudor watches in the near future. Products range from rubber to alligator-embossed leather, with a plethora of styles and colors available in a multitude of materials. “Because our watch bands have reached a worldwide market, it is

difficult to note a seasonal piece,” says Barnes of the company’s allseason items. “The overall favorite, hands down, is our Everest Black Rubber Band.” Perhaps this is due to the weight. Bands by Everest are lighter than original Rolex bands, which are famously heavy. The Curved End Rubber and Curved End Rubber With Tang Buckle come in four colors and six colors respectively and are ultraviolet-, water-, chemical- and dust-resistant, all while remaining lightweight. “We cannot wait to expand to new collections with straps for new models with new materials,” DiMartini says. Outside of comfort, Rolex owners might turn to Everest to replace a broken or missing band, update an outdated band or simply enjoy more stylish options. Everest bands are made to be changed easily with a watch tool kit. The brand even has instructional videos on YouTube walking customers through the process so they can swap from a daytime look to an evening band in a matter of moments. “Everest has really offered Rolex owners the opportunity to customize your Rolex in a comfortable and fashionable manner,” DiMartini says. However, if that makes you nervous, the bands can be swapped at an authorized dealer, as well. St. Louisans looking for Everest products can head to the company’s website (everestbands.com) or visit Clockmaster in Brentwood, Timekeepers in Clayton or Huffords Jewelry in Frontenac. “It’s mind-blowing to me some days how Everest has grown exponentially worldwide,” DiMartini says. But the line still is a home-grown success. “I really just appreciate the experience of being able to interact with the watch community, particularly in St. Louis.” Next on the horizon for Everest is the launch of its sister brand: MONTA Swiss-made watches. Two tool watches are currently in the line: Oceanking, a midcentury-inspired dive watch, and Triumph, a timepiece with myriad options for personalization. MONTA will officially launch at its open-to-the-public event on Thursday, Sept. 14, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the West County Missouri Athletic Club.

Grilled Peach and Corn Succotash

‌S

Story, recipe and photos by Sherrie Castellano eptember marks summer’s last hurrah – with succotash the best way to celebrate. Sweet corn and lima beans form the foundation of a traditional succotash. The version spotlighted here combines my favorite late-summer foods, including peaches, summer basil and cucumbers, to form a fresh mix of raw and grilled vegetables with herbaceous and vinegary flavors. Another perk of this easy-to-assemble succotash: You don’t have to turn on your oven. Simply grill the corn and peaches, then allow them to cool. Dice the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, and whisk together the dressing. Serve the succotash either as a light main course or as a side dish with grilled meat or seafood.

GRILLED PEACH AND CORN SUCCOTASH If you prefer lima beans, substitute them for the black beans, using 1 cup in lieu of the ½ cup specified. Serves | 4 to 6 | 4 ears sweet corn, husks and silks removed 2 peaches or nectarines, pitted and halved ¼ cup olive oil, plus more for grilling 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes 1 cup cucumber, diced small ¼ cup shallot, minced ½ cup cooked black beans 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves, roughly chopped 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 tsp honey sea salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper, to taste | Preparation | Brush ears of corn and halved peaches lightly with olive oil. Grill until tender and browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Cut corn off cobs, and dice peaches. Reserve in a bowl until ready to finish succotash. In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, shallots, cooked black beans and basil. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine corn and peaches with cherry tomato mixture, and toss to combine. Slowly pour dressing into succotash, tossing as you go to evenly coat ingredients. Season with more salt and pepper if desired. Chill succotash for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve.

Happily Ever After

Chloe

AND THE TYMKEW FAMILY By Robyn Dexter

‌ONCE UPON A TIME, NEEDY PAWS rescued a little white fluff ball named Chloe. When she was rescued, Chloe had kennel cough and tested positive for heartworms. Just when the Needy Paws staff thought she was out of the woods, Chloe tore her ACL, probably due to a patellar luxation on both knees. The little dog had one surgery for each knee and then underwent therapy. Around the same time, Barb Tymkew was browsing the internet for a lap dog companion. Since Tymkew’s chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requires her to consistently be on oxygen, the dog would need to be lowkey and possibly older. She found Needy Paws’ website, and Chloe was the second dog she saw. “I wanted a dog that was completely house- and crate-trained and was basically a lovable little fur ball,” Tymkew recalls. “When I saw Chloe, I contacted them right away and put in an application.” Fortunately, the woman who was fostering Chloe lived in Affton, where Tymkew lives. Chloe’s foster mom said she’d like to bring Chloe over to visit, and Tymkew agreed. “At the time, my husband was in the nursing home,” she says. “I was hoping Chloe would be good for him, too, and could just sit on his lap.” Unfortunately, Tymkew’s husband passed away before she could adopt Chloe, but the little dog was ready to go to Tymkew when she needed her the most. She adopted Chloe officially in April, and the two have spent the last few months providing each other with love and support. “I love her, and she loves me,” Tymkew says. “She’s

such a good little dog.” Though Chloe’s age is unknown, Tymkew says she thinks the little dog is around 6 years old. After her surgeries, though, going up and down steps is hard on Chloe, so Tymkew’s son built the pup a ramp that allows her to go up and down stairs with ease. Chloe’s exact breed isn’t known either. Although her adoption papers say she’s a miniature poodle, Tymkew thinks she might have some bichon frisé in her, too. “Her fur is curly like a poodle, but when I have her groomed, it’s so soft,” Tymkew says. “Regardless, she’s exactly the right size and loves to go with me wherever I go.” Although the little dog is easygoing and loves to sleep on Tymkew’s lap, sometimes she think she’s a lot bigger than she actually is. “When I first took her to my son’s house, she barked and barked at his Lab that’s three times her size,” Tymkew muses. “They’re fine now, but it was so funny.”

With their belief that bigger things can come out of selling furniture, Carol House and the Dubmans proudly donate a portion of each sale to local charities. One of the organizations the company supports is its very own Carol House QUICK FIX Pet Clinic, which spays and neuters pets for low-income families.

A Helping Hand for Those Who

By Robyn Dexter | Photos by Matt Munsell

Columbia, Illinois-based Songs4Soldiers works to enrich the lives of combat veterans and their families who have limited resources.

rom 2004 to 2005, Dustin Row served in the Iraq War with the 724th Transportation Unit of Bartonville, Illinois. The unit’s mission was to escort fuel convoys to Baghdad and western Iraq. On April 9, 2004, the unit drove a support convoy directly into an ongoing offensive between the U.S. Army and Shiite militiamen. Outnumbered by hundreds, Row’s truck was one out of six to make it through the kill zone. Two of his fellow soldiers were killed in action, and one was captured. When he returned to his hometown of Columbia, Illinois (just 20 minutes from downtown St. Louis), he had a good job and a supportive family. He knew these were luxuries that many combat veterans aren’t afforded and felt compelled to do something about it. In 2013, he started a not-for-profit organization called Songs4Soldiers to help returning combat veterans and their families. Dustin Row (center) with Brian and Jami Marsoun As a fundraiser for the organization, Row assembled his band, Where’s Charlie?, and other local groups to perform a benefit concert in a grocery store parking lot in Columbia. What started small has grown tremendously in the past four years. In 2013, the organization was able to put close to $7,000 toward veterans assistance. In 2016 alone, that number was up to more than $155,000.

SePteMBeR 8, 2017 | LadueNews.com

“We have a huge concert every year, and 100 percent of the proceeds help combat veterans all across the Midwest throughout the entire year,” Row says. “Up to this point, we’ve spent more than $325,000 and helped more than 245 combat veterans and their families.” When it comes to helping veterans, Songs4Soldiers has a unique way of making sure the money goes to the right places. “We’ve never given a dollar of cash to any veteran, ever,” Row says. “Whatever their greatest need might be, we do it directly. That way we know for a fact it goes to the right place.” Songs4Soldiers only helps veterans who are “doing their best to put their best foot forward,” Row says. All too often, help for veterans is nothing more than a Band-Aid of sorts, he explains. To combat that, Songs4Soldiers aids in funding mortgages, security deposits, dental work, home repairs, support dogs and more. “If you can name it, we’ve done it,” Row says. The yearly concert is the organization’s biggest fundraiser, with last September’s raising more than $91,000. It’s caught the attention of veterans and media outlets across the Midwest and continues to grow with each passing year. With growth comes challenge, though. As a town of 10,000, some question if Columbia has the space to support an event this big. Row thinks so – he says Songs4Soldiers’ annual concert will always be held in Columbia. However, out of necessity, it’s grown to a two-night event this year with a national performer headlining the event.

Photos from last year’s Songs4Soldiers concert

On Sept. 22, Columbia’s Bolm-Schuhkraft City Park will host singer/songwriter Bret Michaels, along with local acts Jeremiah Johnson Band and Dazed n Confused STL. On the concert’s second day, Sept. 23, the lineup will feature ClusterPluck, The Dave Glover Band, PettyCash Junction, Where’s Charlie?, Dazed n Confused STL, Joe Dirt and the Dirty Boys, and SuperJam. The second day will also feature a kid zone with bounce houses, although both days are familyfriendly, Row says. “The cool thing about doing a two-night show for the first time is that it doesn’t come from a place of ego – we literally need to have a second show to support the number of veterans that we have coming in from all over the Midwest,” he says. “We have combat vets coming from St. Louis, Chicago, Tennessee, Michigan … the whole Midwest.” When asked what he’s looking forward to the most about this year’s event, Row says the answer is twofold. The first part is a surprise, though, and will take place during the Bret Michaels show on the concert’s first night. The second part is something that happens every year: his chance to look out at the crowd from the side of the stage and just take it all in. “Looking at my team and my kids and seeing how far this has come is my favorite moment every year,” he says. “It’s not just a normal concert. It’s allowing us to help hundreds of people. It’s like Christmas morning to me.” Row has high hopes for the future of Songs4Soldiers. He envisions

continued growth as word spreads but wants the organization to remain “very small at heart.” “I picture a national charity coming out of an awesome, supportive community,” he says. “The original mission of Songs4Soldiers was to be a small show and help four combat veterans a year, so I’d say we’re onto something here.”

Dinner ...

evotees of Korean cuisine received good news in July when St. Ann’s Seoul Garden opened a sister venue in Creve Coeur, featuring all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue and far more. The family-owned and -operated business comes from Sean Moon with his parents, Kyung and Dong Moon, who collectively have decades of experience in hospitality, with roots in a largescale restaurant in Seoul, South Korea. The family, which immigrated to the United States in the early ’90s, also has run a number of businesses in Los Angeles and elsewhere domestically. In 2008, the Moons took over the St. Ann Seoul Garden. A year and a half later, in Chesterfield, they

opened the fast-casual Kimcheese, with a second location following in 2015. That second location (fans of whose Asian-fusion cuisine can still enjoy it at the flagship restaurant) closed in June to accommodate this new Seoul Garden. “We’re over capacity at the St. Ann Seoul Garden on the weekends, so we wanted to expand,” Sean Moon says. “This seemed like a great location for it.” The approximately 3,000-square-foot Creve Coeur space seats around 70 and largely maintains the rustic aesthetic of its former identity, complete with wooden booths and minimal decorative components like a wall of traditional Korean fermentation jars. The addition of larger tables encourages group dining. “Our food, by nature, is traditionally communal

By Mabel Suen food,” Moon continues. “Back at home, we’ll have one big pot of soup and little side dishes for everyone to share. It’s the same here – we have one stove so everyone can grill and eat meat together. We really wanted to emphasize that side of Korean food.” The Creve Coeur menu generally resembles St. Ann’s, albeit with one entrée exclusive to the new location: spicy pork ribs. “That one is phenomenal – I like it a lot,” Moon says. “We butcher all our meats here, and many of them are marinated for 24 to 36 hours. They’re longtime family recipes.” Moon recommends the all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue option for the best experience. Guests can choose from “original” meats, including beef bulgogi, pork belly, chicken kalbi and rib-eye, or opt for the “premium”

category, which features additional cuts such as LA short ribs, whole-cut rib-eye and spicy pork ribs. Soup options include radish, soybean and spicy tofu. Additional offerings include a variety of bibimbap bowls, dumplings, seafood pancakes, yook gae jang (beef soup), a kimchi pork belly entrée with tofu, and japchae – rice noodles with your choice of chicken, beef or pork. Any one or more of those dishes should put you in a receptive mood to enjoy a production from The St. Louis Black Repertory – so why not end the summer on a combined culinary/theatrical high note?

Seoul Garden, 10441 Olive Blvd., Creve Coeur, 314-569-4123, koreanbbqstl.com

‌W ho’d have thought a business major would now be celebrating the 41st anniversary of his own theater company? That’s certainly the case, though, with Ron Himes, founder and producer/director of The Black Rep – formally The St. Louis Black Repertory – the largest professional African-American theater company in the nation and the largest African-American performing arts organization in Missouri. “I majored in business administration at Washington University,” says Himes. “I took a dare in my junior year and acted in a couple of productions there and thought, ‘This is cool.’ When I graduated, I decided that I didn’t want to go to graduate school and remembered how much fun theater was.” This season, The Black Rep will perform all three of its subscription shows at Edison Theatre on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis, where Himes serves as the Henry E. Hampton Jr. Artist-in-Residence. The season officially opened Wednesday, Sept. 6, with the regional premiere of Dot, a new comedy written by African-American actor and playwright Colman Domingo. Dot deals with a problem all too familiar to millions of families: an aging parent whose mind is slipping. Domingo’s play focuses on Dotty Shealey and her three adult children, who are gathering for the holidays at her home. A news release from the troupe states that “Dot grapples unflinchingly with aging parents and midlife crises in the heart of a West Philly neighborhood.” Thomasina Clark stars in the title role, while Jacqueline Thompson, Chauncy Thomas and Heather Beal portray her children. The cast also includes Courtney Elaine Brown, Paul Edwards and Ryan Lawson-Maeske, with Himes directing. The season continues in January when Ed Smith returns to The Black Rep to direct its new production of Fences by August Wilson. Fences tells the story of a former Negro Baseball League star whose barring from Major League Baseball (because of its “color barrier”) wreaked havoc on his life. Fences numbers among Wilson’s 10 plays set individually in a different decade of the 20th century, primarily in Pittsburgh, which constitute his landmark Pittsburgh Cycle. “Maybe 12 companies in America have covered [The Pittsburgh] Cycle,” says Himes, including The Black Rep, now on its second run through the 10 works. “We’ve done Ma Rainey[’s Black Bottom] twice, Joe Turner[’s Come and Gone] twice and Seven Guitars twice. This will be our second production of Fences.”

A.C. Smith and Linda Kennedy portrayed middleage couple Troy and Rose in The Black Rep’s original production; this one will feature Himes playing opposite Kennedy. Wilson ranks among the greatest American playwrights of the 20th century and an important voice in theater. “I think that Wilson fills in a lot,” says Himes, “illuminating the African-American experience decade by decade. He gives voice to the average working class of African-American characters, who in many instances have not had [a] voice onstage, characters which we have not seen on the American stage and stories we have not heard on the American stage.” The 41st season closes in April 2018 with the world premiere of Torn Asunder by Nikkole Salter, whose drama Lines in the Dust was produced by The Black Rep in 2016. “Torn Asunder is a wonderful, beautiful, touching love story set at the end of the Civil War,” says Himes. “There are two enslaved people, a couple who are separated by the inhumanity of slavery. They are married and sold apart. The guy, Moses, escapes to Canada and becomes a successful blacksmith. After Emancipation, he heads south looking for his wife for years. When he finds her, that’s [worth] the price of the ticket.” Himes recently was honored at the National Black Theatre Festival in North Carolina with the Larry Leon Hamlin Producer Award. In his 40 years with The Black Rep, he’s produced hundreds of plays relating to the African-American experience, leading The Black Rep to significant national and international recognition as a major artistic institution. “African-American theater has been an uphill challenge for many of us,” he says. “In many instances, it still is. A lot of companies that started in the ’70s like us are no longer here. They didn’t survive the downturn in the economy, the lack of funding trends with foundations and corporations. “Part of the challenge we’re facing is finding new sources of funding,” he adds. “We’re considered a major cultural institution, but in many cases, we’ve never been funded as one. It’s a challenge for institutions of color across the field.” Dot runs through Sept. 24 at Edison Theatre, with ticket prices ranging from $20 to $45.

Ready Readers

Battling School-Related Jitters

n September, many preschoolers become schoolchildren – and that change in status often triggers anxiety, leading parents to fret about their children’s ability to express such anxiety. To tackle ideas that may cause apprehension in young ones, parents, choose books that are both familiar and on topic. Start with Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrator Clement Hurd, a modern-day classic most kids have enjoyed time and time again; revisiting it should thus put most children at ease. Follow it with a book like There’s an Alligator Under My Bed by Mercer Mayer, which gets to the heart of how children can be affected by and respond to the unknown. Books that calm children and bring troubling issues to light can allow concerned parents and other caregivers insights into their minds and feelings. A specific problem needn’t be directly addressed; the scenario of a story can simply begin a conversation. Also, parents, feel free to use your own fears and coping techniques to start a dialogue. Children need to know that everyone feels fear – even mommies and daddies! Finding ways of coping with

fear enables children to feel confident in handling new or changing situations. Originally published in 1947, Goodnight Moon has enchanted children for almost three quarters of a century. In it, a bunny prepares for bed (or hopes to extend his waking moments) by bidding good night to all the familiar things in his room. As the ritual leads him closer to sleep, the bunny’s thoughts venture to the starry, moonlit night outside his window. Children new to Brown’s story should love the softly flowing rhymes in Goodnight Moon, which features a combination of vividly colored illustrations and simple pen-and-ink drawings by Hurd; those illustrations should draw young readers even further into the tale through naming the objects mentioned in the text.

By Sheila Oliveri

In There’s an Alligator Under My Bed, another modern children’s classic, a boy tells of an elusive alligator that makes him fear bedtime. When his parents fail to find the tricky beast, though, the enterprising lad lays a trap to rid his room of it. Mayer’s spare text combines perfectly with his colorful, detailed illustrations to provide a humorous, creative guide to vanquishing creatures that may be lurking in the shadows. There’s an Alligator Under My Bed acknowledges children’s bedtime fears, encourages them to face such fears and empowers them to know they can manage on their own. As a bonus, parents, because Brown and Mayer both have written multiple titles beyond Goodnight Moon and There’s an Alligator Under My Bed, if your children like those two titles, you can find many more to treasure together.

Dark Colors,

Bright Kudos By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos by Alise O’Brien Photography

The pulitzer Arts Foundation’s current “Blue Black” exhibition has received solid-gold praise.

o those of a waggish bent, the publicity surrounding a free exhibition now on display at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation may well suggest a variation of the goofy children’s “newspaper riddle”: What’s blue and black and re(a)d all over? “Blue Black,” the exhibition in question, opened June 9 – yet already, five days earlier, it had enjoyed major ink in the form of a full-page think piece in The New York Times. subsequently, among other coverage, “Blue Black” (which runs through oct. 7) earned a mid-August follow-up from the Times and a noteworthy 2,000word meditation from Brooklyn, New York’s online Hyperallergic, self-described as “a forum for playful, serious and radical perspectives on art and culture in the world today.” “We’re thrilled that ‘Blue Black’ has resonated with so many people both in st. Louis and at a national level,” says Cara starke, director of the Pulitzer Arts Foundation. “I’m delighted that the press coverage from such thoughtful writers and

editors has shared the project with audiences more broadly.” despite its (nontouring) situs in st. Louis, the exhibition owes its origin, ironically enough, to two native New Yorkers, one of them deceased. The first, painter, sculptor and printmaker Ellsworth Kelly, died less than two years ago, after experiencing acclaim and midlevel success in works often rapturous with bold geometries and primary colors. In 2000, in fact, the Pulitzer commissioned him to create one such, Blue Black, a stunning twopanel construct of aluminum measuring less than 6 feet wide but 28 feet tall and painted, aptly enough, blue (bordering on indigo) and black. Kelly’s construct subsequently inspired the second, anything-but-deceased New Yorker, “conceptual” artist Glenn Ligon, on a site visit here at starke’s invitation, according to the Times. on viewing Blue Black last year, Ligon related to a reporter from that journalistic institution, “I had this very funny aural hallucination where I kept hearing Louis Armstrong’s voice singing, ‘What did

I do to be so black and blue?’” (In Ligon’s aural hallucination, it bears noting, the beloved AfricanAmerican jazz trumpeter was reprising “(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue,” the 1929 musical standard from Harlem jazz multi-instrumentalist Thomas Wright “Fats” Waller with lyrics by Harry Brooks and Andy Razaf.) One thing led to another, with Ligon agreeing to guest-curate the present exhibition. “Blue Black,” according to a May press release from the Pulitzer, constitutes a collection of “more than 50 works ranging from abstraction, to portraiture, to ‘outsider art,’ experimental film, textiles and more” that “explores a multiplicity of meanings and uses of the two colors.” “Working with Glenn Ligon to develop this exhibition has been an incredible experience, …” Starke says. “From the beginning, we’ve seen a highly engaged and vibrant crowd come to see the exhibition, as well as the related public programs. From the artist talk at opening weekend with Glenn and Thelma Golden, director and chief curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem, to the recent performance by the acclaimed composer and pianist Samora Pinderhughes, there have been a number of ways to connect with the exhibition. We continue to see new and returning visitors at the museum …” In the Times in June, Ligon characterized “Blue

Black” as “a meander,” a series of “encounters and collisions.” The Hyperallergic meditation, meanwhile, lauded it as a “liberating voyage taken by and through skin so black, so dark, it coruscates blue,” adding that Ligon “organizes the show less like a curator and more like a poet” – doing so “with debilitating force.” True to Ligon’s own characterization, the exhibition constitutes a blissful cornucopia of often powerful juxtapositions. Its works range from the touching innocence of Blue Black Boy from 1997 by Carrie Mae Weems, an Oregonian turned New Yorker mainly famed for her photography; through the simplified sidereal splendor of New York painter Ross Bleckner’s Galaxy Painting from 1993; to, almost inevitably, the knowing latter-day La Gioconda smile of Liz #4, a 1963 portrait of film icon Elizabeth Taylor by pop nonesuch Andy Warhol. “Blue Black” also includes a thought-provoking portrait of an African-American law enforcement officer, Untitled (policeman) from 2015, by Birmingham, Alabama, native turned Chicago painter/sculptor Kerry James Marshall. “The content of Glenn’s work is incredibly meaningful in the context of St. Louis, being the epicenter of the Black Lives Matter movement,” Starke told the Times in June. Among the exhibition’s manifold pleasures, though,

the museum’s director specifically mentions the inspiration for “Blue Black” coupled with a companion piece, an installation (according to the May release) measuring 6 feet tall and a staggering 66 feet long. “Visitors seem to be connecting with many works in the show,” Starke says, “but one highlight appears to be the pairing of Ligon’s A Small Band (2015) in our main gallery with Kelly’s Blue Black (2000), the work from which the exhibition was inspired. “Ligon’s monumental neon work fills the room with three words – ‘blues,’ ‘blood,’ ‘bruise.’ Here Ligon is referencing Steve Reich’s sound piece Come Out, which was commissioned by a civil rights activist in 1966. Reich’s piece quotes the testimony given by Daniel Hamm, one among a group of young residents of Harlem who were wrongfully convicted of a crime in the early 1960s. The pairing of Ligon’s text-based work alongside Kelly’s wall sculpture speaks to the complexities of Ligon’s curatorial thesis in this exhibition.” Those complexities – the manifold, vibrant hues of an era whose figurative palette seems increasingly predominated and muddied by clashing complementary colors – may well resonate with Pulitzer visitors long after they’ve exited “Blue Black.” Pulitzer Arts Foundation, 3716 Washington Blvd., St. Louis, 314-754-1850, pulitzerarts.org

4 doors. The uncensored version. An uncompromised duality of form and performance, the new Panamera Turbo contradicts every notion of a sedan. The bold new exterior design and interior advancements, including the connectivity of Porsche Connect, are complimented with a powerful 4.0L V8 twin-turbo engine that delivers 550 horsepower. This is one blisteringly quick duality. Porsche. There is no substitute.
