EDITOR ‌WHEN LIFE TAKES A WRONG TURN, IT’S EASY TO REACH FOR the white flag and surrender. However, it’s important that no matter what we are facing, we use that obstacle to make us stronger and better than we were before. In this week’s feature in The Daily, LN contributing writer Brittany Nay shares the story of Matthew Williams (p. 60). At the age of 9, Williams was diagnosed with stage 3 ependymoma, a rare type of primary brain or spinal cord tumor. Not only did Williams conquer ependymoma, but also he’s now using his childhood battle with it to help others. In the feature, Nay shares the beautiful story of Williams’ nonprofit, Matt’s Hats, which helps children battling cancer. And in this week’s Abode section, LN contributing writer Sarah Kloepple introduces the 2016 Ladue News Show House, a gorgeous home in St. Louis’ historic Central West End neighborhood. Designed by the same creative minds who rendered the St. Louis Basilica, the house is being transformed by this year’s lineup of talented interior designers and landscapers. Make sure to check it out on p. 40. For more information about this year’s Show House, visit laduenews.com. All the best,

they’re young. Our faculty are nurturing, tenured and experts in their field.” Chesterfield Day School prepares students for the next stage of life by developing the kids’ fundamental skills as well as teaching critical and creative thinking/ They develop natural leadership skills as well, thanks to a strong foundation focused on academics and character. “Learning how to lead in a positive way is an important life skill,” she says. “To do it, you need to know all the components of leadership and practice putting them together early on.” Self-advocacy is an important piece, she says, and the students learn how and when to ask for help. They also develop executive functioning skills that help them understand and plan their time. They are asked to work with long-term projects that require forethought and independent work. On Oct. 13, Chesterfield Day School will host an open house for families and prospective students to see the program in action. “You can see our kids engaged in meaningful work and applying the fundamental math, language, science and character skills they build each day. Our kids are learning to think for themselves and work together to solve real problems. Coming to our open house is the best way to watch that happen.”

or more than 50 years, Chesterfield Day School has demonstrated strength in preparing students in both character and academics. Children ages 18 months through sixth grade receive a personalized education of unparalleled excellence at Chesterfield Day School. What began as the first Montessori preschool in St. Louis in 1962 has evolved into what head of school Rachana Creeth calls a “premier preparatory elementary school.” “Our kids love learning,” she says. “Over the summer, I had conversations with students, and they were so excited for school to start back up, which is rare.” Public speaking is a cornerstone for the school, and it starts as early as preschool. “By sixth grade, public speaking becomes natural,” Creeth says.

The world does not owe me anything. I owe the world everything. I will stop daydreaming and start doing. I will develop a backbone, not a wishbone.

That someday is now, and that somebody that the world needs is me!

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL CHARITY POLO MATCH

Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

lthough rain prevented the match from actually being played, it didn’t prevent sponsors, friends and guests of TREE House of Greater St. Louis from attending the 14th Annual Charity Polo event. Plentiful dry ground away from the field accommodated VIP tents, as well as lots of craft and activity tents for kids. A silent auction took place, as well as a demonstration of dressage horsemanship and a polo demo that explained the game in detail. Finally, the event featured tandem foam-hobbyhorse races – one for kids and one for adults. For clients from 2 years old through adulthood, TREE House uses multiple therapeutic-riding programs to build or rebuild mind and body in those with or without disabilities, mental health issues and injuries.

This organization has been helping people who really need the help for an awfully long time. Whether they are children with physical or cognitive disabilities or are returning [military] service members with post-traumatic stress disorder, TREE House of Greater St. Louis is a vehicle that really helps parts of our constituents, part of our citizens that can really benefit from the special kind of therapy that they provide, and as the nation’s second-oldest and largest therapeutic riding center, it is important that we keep this great resource vibrant in our community.

Families with a child or children who have special needs often find an academic cliff after age 19, and must face providing aid for the rest of their child’s life. One St. Louis school seeks to set that child up for the future. “Promise Christian Academy helps prepare these children for ages 18 to 80. However long it takes, we want to help children transition into adult life as independently as possible,” volunteer Brookie Moore says. “Families are overjoyed to partner with Promise. They say their child, who never spoke before, now has conversations with them. It gives them hope for the future.” Pictured left to right: Meredith Heintz, head of school; Edward “Ned” McLean, Promise student; and Sarah Hager, Promise board member. Visit 13250 S.

ne St. Louis school has made a promise to give children with special needs a place to grow and learn independence through individualized education plans and group therapy. “The idea for Promise Christian Academy [sparked] in 1998, when a woman came to Kirk Day School and asked, ‘For the sake of your Jesus, won’t you teach my child with autism?’ That week a taskforce began,” volunteer Brookie Moore, who works in advancement and development at the academy, says. A combination of therapies in a group setting, including speech and language, food, occupational and listening, seeks to develop communication skills through important interactions. “The foundation of this school is built on love and trust,” Moore

explains. “Promise takes a unique blend of safe, multiple therapies and infuses them into each academic day to build – what we call – an on-ramp for life for our students. These children are typically [involved] in a community of one person. They find it easier to tune out the world around them because so much is happening inside of them. We teach [students] to be a part of their community and step outside of themselves.” The academy’s dedication to preparing students for a life of purpose and success can clearly be seen. “They are learning how to speak, how to overcome picky eating habits, how to go to a restaurant for family gatherings,” Moore shares. “We are fundamentally improving the function of the brain into positive, permanent change for these children. They learn how to have friends, be friends and take cues from the

“it’s our dream to have a customized university [setting] with opportunities for independent living, jobs and volunteering. First, we need to have our own building,” volunteer brookie moore says. “with [that], we can build a blueprint for other cities, states and places in the world. we hope to help how children with special needs are educated forever.”

group around them.” The difference made is evident in the families whose joy seems overflowing at the transformation they’ve witnessed in their children. “Promise is distinctive because of the high level of collaboration. Parents, teachers and therapists come together to bring [each] child up to a high level of success,” Moore says. “Each teacher is passionate about advocating and empowering children with special needs. It gets them out of bed every single day. They can’t wait to help these children discover a higher quality of life.”

Design Speak Q&A With Angie Mathey of The White Rabbit By Connie Mitchell ‌ or more than 40 years, Angie Mathey has been F a collector. With a keen eye for antiques that can be freshened up with a little paint and TLC, she “Angifies” spaces, arranging and displaying favorite pieces to create bright, creative interiors. Almost 12 years ago, she teamed up with daughter Lindsay Liebherr to bring her love of reworked antiques to the public by opening The White Rabbit. Ladue News recently talked with Mathey to learn more about her design style. How did your interest in antiques grow into a business? My mom and I used to strip and stain antiques and then sell them in garage sales in the ’70s. I loved it so much that I ended up getting a booth at an antique mall, which turned into a double booth. It was mostly just for fun, but it made me want to open a real store. I opened a small basement store, the original White Rabbit, in 2001 and started painting furniture instead of stripping and staining it. I soon moved the business to Brentwood, and Lindsay joined me in 2005 after she graduated from UMSL. She took an interest in the business side of The White Rabbit, and together we have grown the store and ourselves more than we ever imagined in the beginning. What inspired the name of your business? When I was little, the Easter Bunny brought me an adorable white rabbit that I named Lucky. As I was trying to think of a name for the store, he popped into my head, and I thought The White Rabbit would be a cute name, especially since I was painting everything white. What is your process of finding and transforming antiques? How do you know what has potential and what to do with it? I’ve been buying antique and vintage furniture for more than 40 years, so I’ve learned what to look for and what our customers want. It changes over time, so we pay close attention to what our customers are asking for and adjust our buying accordingly. One of our biggest rules for buying is that we have to sniff inside of drawers before we buy furniture. People think we’re crazy, but there’s nothing worse than a musty or smoky piece in your home! As far as the style, anything with a lot of detail looks amazing with a couple coats of paint. We still paint everything by hand with a brush. Now that we’re busier, we also have an awesome picker who finds pieces for us. She has a great eye and always seems to know what we want.

Mother-daughter team Lindsey Liebherr and Angie Mathey

You and Lindsay recently introduced your own furniture line of pieces made of reclaimed wood. How did that come about, and what does this new addition to The White Rabbit include? We added The White Rabbit Home Collection to our store to give our customers a locally made furniture option that they could order in different colors. We noticed that new furniture was being made with particleboard, and we wanted to give St. Louis families an option to buy pieces made with real wood that didn’t cost a fortune. The collection is a cozy, farmhouse-inspired style that our customers have been loving lately. It includes pieces like a farm table that can be ordered in any length up to 10 feet, a media console and a kitchen island with storage and space for seating. We have samples in the store so customers can see them before ordering in their color choice. What are some of the décor trends you saw for 2017 when you made your recent buying trip, and how can people incorporate them easily into their homes? We went to AmericasMart Atlanta in July to order our new accessories for spring of 2017. We saw more gold than ever before and the addition of

brass accessories and lighting. We also noticed that warmer colors were replacing the gray and cool tones we’ve been seeing for so many years. White was still everywhere, but it was paired with a lot more color than ever before. We plan to keep using our favorite white paint but pair it with brass accessories and warmer colors to keep it feeling modern. We often tell people to pay more attention to what you love than what’s trending, though. If it makes you happy, it should be in your home! What is the most important thing you want our readers to know about The White Rabbit? Our family and our amazing team are really dedicated to finding the best one-of-a-kind furniture and handmade items from local artists so that our store is a place that makes St. Louis proud. We are very grateful to be in a city that’s so supportive of small businesses, and our customers’ enthusiasm makes all of the hard work worth it. Every day someone tells us that our store is their “happy place,” and we wouldn’t trade that for any corporate salary!

Ladue News SHOW HOUSE

By Sarah Kloepple | Photos by Sarah Conard

This year’s regal residence was designed by The same archiTecTs who envisioned The caThedral basilica of sT. louis.

widow, a debutante, a businessman – each formerly inhabited a historic property in the Central West End, completed in 1897, and that property, located at 4388 Westminster Place, was chosen as this year’s sixth annual Ladue News Show House. Local interior designers were selected to transform 12 rooms to exhibit their creativity and vision, and the landscaping was also completely reworked. They’ve been at work on their designated rooms since late September and will complete them by Oct. 16 – less than two weeks away. The designers may well encounter exciting challenges in this year’s Georgian-style house, found in the celebrated neighborhood of Fullerton’s Westminster Place. The home was originally designed by architects George D. Barnett, John I. Haynes and Thomas P. Barnett, whose firm, Barnett, Haynes & Barnett, famously designed the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. The home first sold to Julia C. January on March 13, 1897, and its three stories feature seven bedrooms, two remodeled bathrooms and a remodeled kitchen. The yellow-brick exterior displays two-story Corinthian columns that flank either side of a projecting pavilion and Palladian window. On walking through the entrance and following the sweeping grand staircase, one can easily imagine the families who resided there in the past 100-plus years. There was

october 7, 2016 | LadueNews.com

January, who invited guests to a quiet wedding for her daughter at the home in 1902. The Switzers hosted debutante parties there in 1929 for their daughter Stella Switzer. The Langan family lived there for many years and owned a moving and storage company. As was typical for homes built in the late 19th century, most rooms include a fireplace. The central hall leads to a staircase with a landing overlooking the front lawn. A spacious office or den on the second floor is lit by large bay windows, and the third floor boasts an expansive bonus room. Plans for this home resemble those of other houses in the neighborhood, even if their façades differ greatly. The name of the neighborhood, Fullerton’s Westminster Place, might sound familiar. According to Charles C. Savage’s book Architecture of the Private Streets of St. Louis, it contains “more residences of architectural interest than any other comparable blocks in the city.” The homes reflect a variety of architectural trends such as Romanesque, Italian Renaissance and Colonial Georgian. “What separates Fullerton’s Westminster Place from the nonprivate streets is the variety and quality of its houses,” Savage writes. The neighborhood, originally private, is named after Union Army veteran and attorney Joseph Scott Fullerton, who purchased the tract of land in 1882 from the Charter Oak Insurance Co. of Hartford, Connecticut. By 1895,

31 houses had been constructed. After Fullerton’s death two years later, his daughter, Mary, completed the neighborhood’s development, which includes the former home of famed poet T.S. Eliot. Eliot’s parents and siblings resided at 4446 Westminster Place from 1905 to 1919, though Eliot lived there only a short time before leaving St. Louis for Harvard University. Savage writes that “nearly every important architect working at the turn of the century is represented” in Fullerton’s Westminster Place. Barnett, Haynes & Barnett, as noted, was a prominent architectural firm in the city that’s credited for the design of many hotels throughout the country. Thomas Barnett even designed the Palace of the Liberal Arts for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, more popularly known as the St. Louis World’s Fair. From its inspired architects and vibrant façade to its storied neighborhood, 4388 Westminster Place boasts bountiful historical connections. Ever-evolving in the 119 years since it was built, the regal residence will evolve once more as this year’s Show House – and we can’t wait. The Show House opens to the public from Sat., Oct. 22, through Sun., Nov. 6 (closed on Mondays). To learn more or to buy tickets, visit laduenews.com.

Five Beauty Must-Haves for Fall By Kimmie Gotch

Too Faced Born This Way Naturally Radiant Concealer With your summer tan faded, you need a new concealer to match your fairer complexion. Because most women tend toward drier skin in the fall, a hydrating concealer for the season not only will minimize imperfections but also will add radiance. Sephora, $28 (sephora.com)

When the leaves start changing and temperatures start dropping, we know fall, finally, has come. Besides transitioning your wardrobe seasonally, though, you need to transition your makeup collection as well by introducing darker, deeper colors into your eye-shadow palettes and lip colors. In that respect, consider these five beauty products as autumnal must-haves. MAC Amber Times Nine Eyeshadow Palette This eyeshadow palette perfectly suits fall. Nine shades of amber let you create anything from an everyday look to a warm smoky eye. Nordstrom, $32 (nordstrom.com)

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer Although a warm-toned, shimmery bronzer accentuates your sun-kissed skin in the summer, for the fall, opt for a matte, cool-toned bronzer. The Hoola Matte Bronzer by Benefit Cosmetics makes a great choice for subtly defining your cheekbones and adding a little color to your face. Sephora, $29

MAC Twig Lipstick Every woman needs a darker lip color for the fall, but it needn’t be purple, brown or even red. Instead, go with a lipstick just a few shades darker than your go-to color. Twig by MAC beautifully suits many skin tones with its mix of mauve, pink and brown. Nordstrom, $17 Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream Because keeping your skin feeling hydrated and healthy remains integral, having a good moisturizer becomes a must in the colder months. So ditch your light face cream, and grab something thicker and more hydrating – like this Bobbi Brown product to give your thirsty skin the boost it needs. You’ll love the way the rest of your makeup applies with a properly moisturized face. Sephora, $58 When all’s said and done, don’t abandon your spring and summer makeup – mixing and matching products year-round can be great fun – but do add a few new items to your collection each season.

TRUE TO On the heels of her successful durable-yet-chic shoe line, fashion designer Claire Flowers releases a timeless and transitional leather shift dress for women on the go.

Flowers walks a customer through the dress design process

hen faced with a problem, many of us succumb to frustration – at least for a moment. But for Claire Flowers, day-today inconveniences are just business plans that have yet to be actualized. Two years ago, Flowers was working in sales, and her out-of-state clients required her to log several thousand steps a day through airports, hotels and city streets. She found that even her best $150a-pop pumps couldn’t stand up to the daily rigors demanded of them, and instead of sinking money into more brand-name test subjects, she established her own brand. She designed what became the Claire Flowers original pump: chic, timeless style with a memory-foam insole for comfort, treaded outsole for traction, thermoplastic polyurethane heel tip to eliminate replacement, wider heel base for stability both on slick floors and sidewalk grates, and a reinforced outer heel plate to eliminate wear on the shoe while driving. Since the debut of the first Claire Flowers collection of classic 3½-inch heel pumps in December 2014, the brand has grown to include a series of chic summer sandals and, most recently, a line of 2½-inch kitten heels made of durable outdoor canvas material resistant to fraying, staining and fading. Flowers’ designs are led by functionality, durability and longevity – “that’s so last season” just isn’t in her vocabulary. With her shoe issues resolved and her brand

growing, Flowers has been busy expanding her shoe sales to include even more boutiques in St. Louis and across the country. On a trip this past May to Los Angeles to promote her brand and catch up with some girlfriends, she found herself faced with a packing dilemma: In an effort to travel light, Flowers needed a dress that would travel well, be both work- and party-appropriate,

and transition between LA’s inevitable weather fluctuations of hot days and cool nights. Standing in front of a closet brimming with more than 100 dresses, Flowers was stumped. Most dresses couldn’t make the transition from work to play, and those that could wouldn’t travel well or had gone out of style. Not one to get frustrated, she instead wondered if there were a way to fix this

idenour Plastic Surgery ranks among the best aesthetic practices in the United States, both in terms of work quality and the quality of its facility and staff. With a warm and inviting environment and a staff that’s personable and client-focused, patients will feel welcomed the minute they walk in the door. Dr. Brock Ridenour is a results-driven surgeon and a leader in the use of laser and radiofrequency technology. “Our nurses receive ongoing education that far exceeds any local or state requirements and are national educators in the field of aesthetic nursing,” Ridenour says. In addition to rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation procedures such as brow, eye, face and neck lifts, Ridenour and his team have a highly developed interest and expertise in minimally invasive and noninvasive facial rejuvenation using fillers, Botox and a wide variety of lasers and energy-based devices. “We have everything a patient would need to better their appearance and the health of their skin, from the most basic skin care products and services, to stateof-the-art broadband light, ultrasound, radiofrequency and laser technologies,” Ridenour says. In addition, Ridenour Plastic Surgery offers noninvasive body contouring and a number of specialized services such as microblading, which is a semipermanent brow-embroidery technique that involves tattooing the skin with strokes. Ridenour emphasizes the company’s concept of skin tightening using a nonsurgical technique. This entails restoring the tautness and elasticity of the skin using heat without ever cutting the skin. “Recent discoveries have shown the ability of some devices to induce the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin and to tighten the

attachments between the skin and the structures underlying them,” he says. Data from the American Society for Plastic Surgery shows a 58 percent uptick in these procedures in the past year. At Ridenour Plastic Surgery, patients have a variety of skin-tightening options available, because Ridenour doesn’t believe that any single device is ideally suited for each patient. “The best treatment should be matched to the patient and will depend on age, skin type, area to be treated, amount of skin laxity and the amount of subcutaneous fat under the skin,” Ridenour says. Ridenour offers many options and can help patients decide what is best suited for their needs and situations. He says that while skin tightening without surgery is now a reasonable alternative to surgery for many people, it may not be suitable for everyone. “More than ever, patients need a trusted resource that can help them sort out all of these increasingly complex options – one that has the resources necessary to treat patients of all ages, skin types and conditions,” he says.

ell, we are NFL-less! Do you feel less whole or less satisfied with your life – lacking for things to do? I’ve spent my weekends recently watching baseball, playing golf and hanging out with family. I’m going to a winery soon – something I never would have done if the Rams were still here. Look, I would love to have an NFL team in St. Louis; however, I’m not sure if I want that team. Hall of Fame sportswriter Frank Deford once wrote that there’s no such thing as a bad football town. There are bad football owners, though. We won the lottery in hell because we got Bill Bidwell and Stan Kroenke. We didn’t do anything wrong. We were just unlucky. Pittsburgh got a dedicated family committed to excellence in the Rooneys. Kansas City was blessed with the Hunt family. We got the guy who married well, destroyed a franchise and turned his back on his home state. I really wish I couldn’t care less about the Rams. However, I do want them to lose. You don’t want your ex to end up with George Clooney. I am completely confident they won’t be having too much success too soon. The trio of Stan Kroenke, Kevin Demoff and Jeff Fisher is the perfect storm for losing. One doesn’t know how to win, one never has and the other hasn’t in a long time. The redeeming quality about going to a game in LA is you only have to pay $175 for parking.

Thoughts:

The one item that jumps out at me about Mizzou coach Barry Odom is the way he encourages his players. A kicker misses a field goal or a wide receiver has a crucial fumble, and Odom is right there with his arm around them. Odom will win at Mizzou. It may take awhile, but I have a great feeling Mizzou has made quite a hire.

I think one of the classiest professional athletes we have in our town is Orlando Pace. The new Hall of Famer could have decided to live anywhere in the country, and he fell in love with our town and has decided to raise his four kids here. He is also a smart guy – smart enough to stage a contract holdout quite a few years so he could miss training camp. That is brilliance.

If I had to predict or almost guarantee success for a young athlete in our town, it would be Alex Reyes. He not only will be in the rotation next season, but also he may be the St. Louis Cardinals’ best pitcher. The Cardinals right-hander averages 97 mph on his fastball. Combine that with poise and a plethora of pitches, and you have a star in the making.

One of the most important quotes in my life is the one I have on my nightstand. It comes from the late Jim Valvano and says, “My dad gave me the greatest gift in the world, he believed in me.” I may make three parental mistakes every day before breakfast; however, I have learned sometimes the best thing you can do as a parent is to just let your child know you believe in them.

I think the coming wave of sports TV will be long pieces. Documentaries and indepth coverage are what will make people watch. I realize that as a sportscaster, you must give the highlights and the news of the day, but the way to make people pay attention is with compelling profiles where you take the time to write a good piece and work hand in hand with your editor.

Things that really impress me: Missouri’s Drew Lock’s right arm, the new Kemoll’s cheese-bread spread sold at Straub’s, Mark Reardon on KMOX, Adam Wainwright’s wit, the DeWitt family, a McBride & Son Homes house, satellite radio and movie bistros (I love being in a recliner, eating and drinking and watching a firstrun movie).

Let’s Talk Politics

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

‌ he first presidential campaign I can remember T is the Kennedy-Nixon race in 1960. As I recall, debates at that time didn’t feature discussions of emails, which of course did not exist, or hand size. Commercials for gubernatorial candidates didn’t demonstrate proficiency with an AK-47. Political discourse and elections are just as important now as they were in 1960 and in 1860, but they seem more difficult to stomach. Why – and how – should we talk to our kids about politics and elections? The why is easy because kids are already talking among themselves. Talking to your kids is critical so they can learn to distinguish fact from fiction and opinion from reality. Children learn through experiences. The experiences they have and observations they make now will help them be responsible citizens and voters when they come of age. Information eases fear. Children have short attention spans and pick up on sound bites and brief parts of conversations and news stories. Offer your children context and explanations of what they see and hear. Try to be objective and address their concerns. You yourself likely hold convictions and have opinions, but don’t just state

these as facts. Explain yourself and the basis for your beliefs. Children need to learn to respectfully disagree, a lesson clearly not learned by many current candidates. It’s OK to disagree sometimes, but it’s never OK to do so with disparagement and contempt for the beliefs of others. This is a lesson which must be taught, demonstrated, lived and learned. Do not disparage – leave that to political commentators. Try to stick to the issues and facts. Finally, take this opportunity to teach your children about the common good. Ultimately, politics is not just about how our government affects us and our families. It’s also about other people, how they live and how they can thrive along with all of our society. Election 2016 is an opportunity to educate and not indoctrinate, to demonstrate citizenship and not blind partisanship. That said, I’ll be glad when it is behind us.

Hat in Hand By Brittany Nay | Photos courtesy of Matt’s Hats

t just 9 years old, Matthew Williams received a shocking diagnosis: a stage 3 ependymoma, a variety of brain tumor. After undergoing an eighthour surgery to remove the golf ball-sized cancer mass and three months of radiation treatments that caused Williams to lose his hair, he began collecting hats to wear to hide his baldness. Despite his young age in 2006, Williams was wise beyond his years: He had the foresight and compassion to realize fellow kids going through cancer treatment also could use a helping hand – and a hat. That’s when Williams decided to share his ever-growing collection of a few dozen hats with other kids who also were stricken with the disease. Soon, through the donations of family and friends, he met his goal of gathering 1,000 hats to sell to raise funds for childhood cancer research. A decade later, Williams is a cancer-free Missouri Baptist University student continuing to expand his nonprofit, Matt’s Hats, which began in 2011 and was officially incorporated in July 2013, to support kids with cancer and advance pediatric cancer research. In its humble beginning, Matt’s Hats would set up a small booth at local fairs and festivals, and sell hats from Williams’ donated collection for $5 or more. “This would encourage people not only to buy hats and donate but also to give more hats to me to continue selling,” he recalls.

But when Williams moved from his hometown in southern Illinois to Creve Coeur for college, he thought about dissolving Matt’s Hats. After word of the charity quickly spread through social media in St. Louis, though, Matt’s Hats experienced a successful rebirth in July. Today, the organization has a small, passionate staff of five and a slate of programs including the Hat Box program and school hat days. Through the Hat Box program, set to launch next year, every $5 donated to Matt’s Hats means a hat is delivered to a kid with cancer at the children’s hospital of the donor’s choice. And the nonprofit also is using schools’ hat days to garner even more hat and monetary donations – students pay $1 to wear a hat to school, and at the end of the day, they can choose to donate their hats. Matt’s Hats also is expanding its cause through conference presentations. Williams has shared his childhood cancer journey and the mission of his charity with educators at events such as the national conference for CharacterPlus, a St. Louis-based organization supporting student success through character development, and the biannual convention of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, a professional honor society of key women educators in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Latin America and Japan. “It’s a good way to tell our story and our mission to different educators from all over the states,” Williams says. “We hope to continue to present our message and mission to educators at different conferences.” The charity’s primary source of outreach is social media, and people can learn through its online sites how to donate funds

for cancer research or give a hat to a child with the disease. “We encourage people to like and follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and visit mattshats.org and share our video, The Opportunity,” Williams says, adding that the organization also is working to build corporate partnerships. To date, Matt’s Hats has given away some 1,000 hats and raised about $15,000 for the pediatric cancer research of Washington University Physicians at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. “We hope to expand to other hospitals and other research facilities as the funds become available,” Williams adds. With a mission of turning tragedy into opportunity, the Matt’s Hats staff is constantly being moved by the stories of the kids the charity helps. “In one instance, we gave a hat to a child, and a picture of the child wearing the hat we gave her was featured on Good Morning America,” Williams recalls. “And we often receive messages from patients and people who not only are touched by the gift of a hat but the nature of our giving.” Williams believes a crisis like a cancer diagnosis means both opportunity and tragedy – and at Matt’s Hats, the focus is on the opportunity to reach out to kids with cancer, as well as facilitate a connection between young patients to lessen the burden of battling the disease. “The chance to help others is close to all of our hearts,” he notes. “But the opportunity to look a child in the face and offer hope – having already been there myself – is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Matt’s Hats, 618-759-3004, mattshats.org, facebook.com/mattshatscorp

he Garden on Grand certainly lives up to its name. Located in the former home of the Islamic Information Center at 2245 S. Grand Blvd., the neighborhood’s newest restaurant is filled with lush, vibrant green plants and reclaimed wood throughout. The bar, located on the left side of the space, and half of the tables in the restaurant were made from a single tree trunk. The greenhouse theme carries over to each table, where small glass planters filled with succulents and air plants make for live centerpieces. The attention to detail in the space shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise – owner Cevin Lee says he’s had 2½ years to plan the restaurant, which is located next door to his family’s Hong Kong Express. As a real estate agent, he says he’s excited to invest in his own properties; he designed the restaurant’s interior himself. The fresh, plant-filled interior provides the perfect

backdrop for The Garden on Grand’s menu, which focuses on vibrant, healthy dishes made with highquality organic and non-GMO ingredients. Lee says the idea is to use as few ingredients as possible – as an example, he cites the restaurant’s coconut fried rice, which features fluffy white rice stir-fried in organic coconut oil with green onion, minced garlic, shaved coconut, scrambled eggs, shrimp and microgreens. But healthy eating isn’t just a catchphrase here: Lee says the health-minded focus of the menu is the result of the 17 years he spent managing debilitating spinal arthritis. He said he was finally able to minimize his pain by changing his diet. “I want it to be a restaurant where people can eat well without feeling guilty,” he says. “If you use pure ingredients, that will carry the dish through.” Lee also cites a “great global hotpot of influences” in the restaurant’s menu, including Asian and European flavors mixed with American classics. For the executive

chef role, he tapped Kore Wilbert, formerly of Mad Tomato, the MX and SSM Hospital (and the winner of the Stella Artois Chef Battle Royale at Taste of St. Louis). In particular, Wilbert says his menu features dishes with an Italian influence (he spent time cooking in Southern Italy) as well as Southern comfort-food favorites inspired by his mom’s love of cooking. Starters range from pan-seared duck dumplings with ginger soy sauce, crispy shrimp rolls with sweet chili sauce, and crispy deep-fried ginger coconut wings to a baby kale salad and avocado relish served with crostini and spicy saffron chili oil. Wilbert counts three entrées among his favorites: a grilled lamb rack with roasted Broccolini over rosemary-celery root purée and crispy fingerling potatoes; a seared filet steak with house demi-glace, creamy cheddar whipped potatoes and sprout salad; and pistachio-encrusted salmon with whipped feta, lemon-herb truffle risotto, asparagus purée and microgreens.

The Garden on Grand

& A Show Celebration

PHOTO COURTESY OF JILL RITTER LINDBERG‌

‌Story: A narrator named Potemkin celebrates a ritualistic dance with a group of revelers. He then tells a tale about a young man named Orphan. As New Year’s Eve approaches, Orphan tries to survive in a cold and indifferent world. He tells a tramp who befriends him (Potemkin) that he is searching for William Rosebud Rich, the wealthy old man who has shut down the young man’s orphanage and its lovely garden. At the entrance to Rich’s home, Orphan and Potemkin meet Angel, who appears to them with wings and halo – but is, in fact, an erotic dancer who yearns to be “Somebody” and who’s scheduled to be the entertainment for Rich’s New Year’s Eve party. Potemkin negotiates a deal with Rich that if Orphan can make the bored old man again feel alive, Rich will restore the orphanage and its garden. As Orphan helps rejuvenate Rich, Angel finds herself torn between attraction to the handsome Orphan and the wealthy Rich, a man who can help fulfill her dreams. While the clock approaches midnight and the revelers party, Orphan, Angel and Rich find their hopes and wishes fading away with the year that’s about to end, all under the observation of the indifferent Potemkin. Highlights: Brisk and lightweight in appearance but abetted by universal themes of hope and beauty, age and death, Celebration is an intriguing musical written by the creators of The Fantasticks, which it strongly resembles in style and execution. The two-act story, first performed in 1969 and recently revised by book writer Tom Jones for New Line Theatre, is breezily performed by New Line’s cast within the cozy confines of the company’s Marcelle Theater under the watchful direction of Scott Miller and Mike Dowdy-Windsor. Other Info: Celebration enjoyed modest success on Broadway in 1969, running for a little more than 100

performances. As Jones observed, it may very well be better suited to a more intimate locale than a grand theater along the Great White Way. Jones wrote in the introduction to his published script that “it wasn’t a Broadway musical. Who knows? Perhaps we will do it again someday. With revisions. And in a proper place.” That proper place may be the black-box Marcelle Theater. Jones recently revised his decades-old script for New Line and its artistic director, Miller, and the results are encouraging. Celebration has just four primary characters, but all four turn in stellar performances. Kent Coffel seems ideally suited for the role of the devilish Potemkin, getting the show off to a grand start with his sprightly performance of the title song with the revelers. Sean Michael showcases a clear, beautiful voice and offers an ingratiating performance as Orphan. He works well with Larissa White, who adds her own pleasant singing voice to an understated portrayal of the ambitious if less than brilliant Angel. Also, Zachary Allen Farmer humorously captures the greed and venal simplicity of the vainglorious Rich. Celebration, like The Fantasticks, features the music of Harvey Schmidt with lyrics and book by Jones. It’s rarely performed by professional companies in America, so do yourself a favor and make a resolution to experience the seasons of Celebration at New Line’s Marcelle Theater while there’s still time.

Company: New Line Theatre Venue: Marcelle Theater, 3310 Samuel Shepard Drive Dates: October 7-8, 13-15, 20-22 Tickets: $15-$25, plus specials for high school and college students, educators and military (see New Line’s Facebook page or newlinetheatre.com); contact 314-534-1111 or metrotix.com Rating: A 4.5 on a scale of 1-to-5

battered chicken fingers and fries, a burger and a morel mushroom dish with pistachio gremolata. The restaurant’s brunch menu features a parfait, build-your-own omelets and à la carte items including biscuits, stir-fried baby kale, bacon, pancakes, waffles and eggs. Larger plates include steak and eggs with homemade hollandaise, The Ricky Bobby with seasonal fruit brûlée over mascarpone-stuffed crêpes and The Notorious B.I.G. biscuits and gravy. A full bar features house cocktails, bottled beer and wine. A handful of frozen cocktails are made with sorbettos sourced from Gibron Jones-Burchett of HOSCO Foods, who also supplies the restaurant’s microgreens. Ultimately, The Garden on Grand is the perfect pick before catching Celebration at New Line Theatre.

ometimes, big changes happen when you least expect it,” remarks Webster Groves artist Marilynne Bradley, and the painting reproduced here certainly corroborates that statement. That 2015 watercolor on canvas, which measures 30 by 44 inches and bears the title Chain of Rocks Bridge, reflects an aesthetic epiphany that struck Bradley awhile ago. “After years of approaching my art in a certain way, something monumental happened,” she recollects. “There I was, working one day on a painting of St. Louis’ Compton [Hill] Water Tower … As I worked on the image of the stairs that lead to the tower, my perspective suddenly changed. “Maybe it was the repetitive series of steps or their angles – I don’t know. I just wanted a new look and went off on a ‘tangent’ of inspiration. I changed my painting style then and there, and found that my new style of ‘geometric’ painting was born.” Bradley earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis, a master’s degree in art teaching from Webster University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from New York’s Syracuse University. She otherwise can lay claim to a daunting curriculum vitae. As her website literally illustrates, Bradley, before her epiphany, specialized in more traditional (if no less

stunning) watercolors, many of local landmarks like the bridge and the water tower. “My career is evolving full circle,” she relates. “I began as an architectural illustrator. This skill as a draftsman enables me to use architectural design elements as I translate the perspective lines into a composition. The geometric analysis of form will hold the composition together. “Changing the formal structure of nature alters the mood of a scene, not to mention the contrast it provides to shadows. The subject matter is compressed within lines and prismatic colors.” Light consequently becomes abstracted, Bradley says, before concluding: “A buildup of overlays of values and patterns of shapes add depth. Juxtaposed values of warm and cool colors add interest to areas. There is a freshness to this approach.” Indeed. Bradley’s geometric paintings shimmer with an almost mystic energy – as if baring the ley lines supposedly underlying quotidian existence.

Dancing By Bryan A. Hollerbach

OCtObEr 7, 2016 | LadueNews.com

ADCO! The mere moniker of the Modern American Dance Company suggests its collective continuing exuberance, even as the troupe celebrates the ruby anniversary of its founding. Between trips to New York and Wisconsin, Stacy West, MADCO’s longtime artistic and executive director, effuses about its “continued commitment to dance performed to live music.” That 40-year-old commitment officially commences with an event a week hence – synchronistically in company with another local group celebrating its own 25th anniversary. “Invitation to Dance features a collaboration with the world-class Arianna String Quartet,” West says. “We are both in residence at the [University of Missouri-St. Louis’] Touhill Performing Arts Center, and this is the first time we have performed a full evening concert together. … The show is designed to include the audience and thank those who have supported us for all these years.” Regarding that Oct. 14 and 15 event, she continues: “Friday- and Saturdayevening audiences should come at 7 p.m. to enjoy a complimentary ballroom dance lesson provided by [Des Peres terpsichorean instructors] Prestige Ballroom. Enjoy the performance, and finish off the evening with drinks, anniversary cake and a chance to dance the night away in a casual setting alongside the performers after the show. “This is all included in the regular ticket price because we want people not only to watch dance but to dance themselves!” MADCO, West notes, still comprises Elyse Andersen, Belicia Beck, Lindsay Hawkins, Claire Hilleren, Darrell V. Hyche II, Monica Meyr, Jeff Mitchell, apprentice Daryon Kent and rehearsal director Nicole Whitesell. Joining the troupe’s roster this season is apprentice Natalie Williams. More than eight decades ago, iconic dancer and choreographer Martha Graham defined the function of American dance thus: “We look at the dance to impart the sensation of living in an affirmation of life, to energize the spectator into keener awareness of the vigor, the mystery, the humor, the variety and the wonder of life.” West pauses to reflect on the functional uplift of her chosen art form – especially for a troupe founded amid the halcyon optimism of the U.S. Bicentennial. “In many ways, we have stayed true to the vision of the founders, Alcine Wiltz and Ross Winter,” she says. “The first year of operation, the company only did education programs while they were developing repertory for mainstage performances. Back then, education programs were in the form of lecture demonstrations and master classes. Schools welcomed performances as ‘enrichment.’ Audiences went to the theater, watched the performance and went home. “Today, both entertainment and education are woven into everything we do, from the classroom to the main stage, on tour and in the community. We talk more about audience engagement and curriculum-related art with a community impact. We accomplish this by choosing to perform work that uses dance to shed light and give a voice to bigger topics. And we invite audiences to participate in pre- and post-show events that help them get a deeper understanding of the projects we are presenting.” West joined MADCO a dozen years after its founding for a simple but elegant reason. “What originally drew me to the company is what has kept me here for 28 years: the diversity of the repertoire and the quality of the dancers,” she says. With pardonable pride, she continues by citing some impressive metrics and other laurels. “In 40 years, MADCO has reached 1.2 million people; educated 600,000 students; appeared in over 3,000 performances, classes and community events;

the Night Away for 2017 and 2018. employed over 2,600 artists; and commissioned 300 new works,” West says. “If I had one wish, it would be for every audience member to come with us on the The troupe also has earned such accolades as two regional Emmy Awards and entire journey of creation from day one through the performance,” West says of Freedom! an international Telly Award, honoring the finest film and video productions; “For the grand finale of the season, we have commissioned four renowned groundbreaking web commercials, videos and films; and outstanding local, regional choreographers – Jennifer Archibald, Gina Patterson, Cecil Slaughter and Nejla and cable TV commercials and programs. Yatkin – to take on the task of creating four new works inspired by the national “I am honored to have been named the 2016 St. Louis Visionary Artist Awardee civil rights collection at Washington University’s Olin libraries. We have started the for Outstanding Arts Educator,” she continues, referencing a laurel founded in research, but to be honest, we are at the stage where we are overwhelmed, excited, 2003 by Grand Center and “now presented by an independent committee of women have too many ideas and no idea of the outcome. … dedicated to promoting the arts in St. Louis,” according to its website. “To date, we have logged more than 60 hours looking “These are remarkable accomplishments for any arts at civil rights photos, listening to interviews from [the PBS organization in the country,” West says. “I’m proud to be documentary series] Eyes on the Prize and documentation of doing it all from St. Louis!” Ferguson. This has been followed up with dinners, drives and Predictably, in an era wherein the bottom line has long walks to talk it out and contemplate how to take a topic become the abiding line in the sand, West cites it as about heinous human behavior that seems to repeat itself MADCO’s biggest challenge. “We have so many things we and turn it into a performance. want to accomplish,” she muses, “and competing for limited “I wonder what would happen if more people could join us funding for the arts is usually what stands in our way.” on the journey instead of meeting us at the final destination?” Since becoming the troupe’s artistic director in Gamely, even as the troupe celebrates turning 40, West 1994, West has battled such budgetary challenges also peers into her terpsichorean crystal ball regarding regularly and passionately. MADCO’s 50th anniversary. “I have focused on bringing the best choreographers “Our mission is to provide audiences with entertaining and collaborators to the company that I can,” she says. and innovative dance experiences,” she declares. “Dance “I’m really proud of the outcome of some of these experiences is a key phrase, as we plan to continue using collaborations. My pride goes beyond the great dances dance as a tool to help people deepen their knowledge they have produced. I’m most affected by how they of other things. Of course, audiences can still expect the contribute to the growth of every artist they touch and for entertaining style MADCO is known for. All of our work will the experiences they give to our audiences. be performed by world-class dancers and choreographers.” “A few examples are Veza, a piece that helped tell the West foresees “exciting new collaborations” at the stories of some of the 50,000 Bosnians living in St. Louis; university and “innovative new programs for the future,” Seven, a work inspired by [local track-and-field Olympian] especially in partnerships involving dance and science. Jackie Joyner-Kersee; and Liquid Roads, a full-length MADCO also continues to cultivate a passion for production of live music and dance that honors the history programs for people with disabilities, she says. of the people and music along the Mississippi River. “I recently became certified in Autism Movement “Liquid Roads is now touring nationally. I’m also proud Therapy,” West says, referring to a nonprofit organization of our dance-residency program, Books in Motion, which centered on serving the autism and special-needs encourages reading and reaches around 12,000 students Alcine Wiltz, right, community by providing both a structured movement-andand their families annually.” co-founder of Modern music program and advocacy and community outreach to Beyond the Invitation to Dance opener, West effuses American Dance Company, foster understanding of that community globally. about making MADCO’s 2016-17 season memorable for gives notes to Nicole Whitesell during rehearsal Finally, she states, “St. Louis will always be home, but its audiences and its artists alike. for Crimson Momentum. we look forward to continuing to broaden our national and “On Oct. 15 at 2 p.m., we will offer our first sensoryPhoto by Sarah Conard international reputation with touring.” friendly performance, generously underwritten by the Almost a century ago, influential English intellectual Centene Corp.,” she says. “The performances remain Havelock Ellis characterized dance as the “loftiest, the mostly the same with some modifications in sound, most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or lighting and seating to create a supportive and welcoming environment for people abstraction from life; it is life itself.” with disabilities. Matinee guests will also enjoy a chance to dance with the MADCO As MADCO celebrates its 40th anniversary, West and her troupe self-evidently dancers in an anniversary-party setting complete with dessert.” remain committed to realizing Ellis’ sentiment. With understandable prudence but unleavened enthusiasm, West looks even further ahead to MADCO’s Freedom! event, inspired in no small measure by the racial tumult the metro area has suffered since 2014. That event will premiere March 31, Modern American Dance Company, c/o University of Missouri-St. Louis, whereafter MADCO will immediately begin adapting it into an educational program 1 University Blvd., 243 AAB, St. Louis, 314-341-5407, madcodance.com

EMMA DONOGHUE THE WONDER

*This event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are required. RSVP at left-bank.com/donoghue In Emma Donoghue’s latest masterpiece, an English nurse brought to a small Irish village to observe what appears to be a miracle—a girl said to have survived without food for months—soon finds herself fighting to save the child’s life. Tourists flock to the cabin of the eleven-year-old, who believes herself to be living off manna from heaven, and a journalist is sent to cover the sensation. Lib Wright, a veteran of Florence Nightingale’s Crimean campaign, is hired to keep watch over the girl. Written with all the propulsive tension that made Donoghue’s Room a bestseller.

NICK OFFERMAN GOOD CLEAN FUN

*This is a ticketed event. Purchase tickets at left-bank.com/offerman After two New York Times bestsellers, Nick Offerman returns with the subject for which he’s known best—his incredible real-life Offerman Woodshop. The shop produces not only fine handcrafted furniture, but also fun stuff— kazoos, baseball bats, ukuleles, even mustache combs. Now Nick and his ragtag crew of champions want to share their experiences of working at the Woodshop, tell you all about their passion for the discipline of woodworking, and teach you how to make a handful of their most popular projects along the way.
