ON THREE DESIGNS LN contributing writer Bethany Christo chats with new-millennial stationer Alicia Lantzy about On Three Designs, Lantzy’s conceptually atavistic tonic for anyone feeling torn to bits (or bytes) by digital invites and similar communiqués.

57 The Daily Feature:

TEST DRIVE In a sequel to last month’s Test Drive, writer/photographer Ryan Scott, LN’s pedal-to-the-metal principal, squeezes behind the wheel of the 2020 Toyota Supra, which owes its existence, at least in part, to a strange collaboration with BMW.

EDITOR ‌THE COOL WEATHER IS FINALLY UPON US, AND THE LEAVES ARE starting to fall. Although I’m still in slight denial summer is over, it’s officially time to dust off those coats. However, after reading LN fashionista Katie Yeadon’s Style feature this week, I’m a little more than tempted to take to local shops for an edgier outerwear look.

Starting on page 46, we hope you enjoy these stunning looks compiled by Yeadon and lensed by staff photographer Sarah Conroy. Whether you need casual, cozy or classic, this story has you covered.

Also in this week’s edition, we invite you to ride along with car guru Ryan Scott as he test-drives a 2020 Toyota Supra – one, in fact, that will be given away to support the worthy cause that is Mary’s House of Hope. Starting on page 57, we hope you enjoy learning more about this nonprofit and the vehicle, and also support the cause!

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Keeping it

F

or those who have continuously struggled with their weight, who have tried every trick in the book to lose pounds and who have found that nothing seems to work, there’s a solution: Charles D’Angelo.

“When you find yourself pacing the kitchen, fifteen minutes after eating a huge dinner, you have to ask yourself what’s driving you,” the nationally renowned transformation coach says. “That’s what the work is with me – changing your mindset. The ancestor of every action is a thought. The focus is on developing a strategy and a loving relationship with yourself, so that it no longer feels necessary to drug yourself with food or anything else in the face of life’s daily challenges.”

Based in St. Louis, D’Angelo is responsible for jaw-dropping transformations that have helped people to get back control of their lives. Allan Finnegan attests to how D’Angelo set him on a path to success.

“Debilitating is a strong word, but [my excessive weight] affected my whole life,” explains Finnegan. “I was quiet and reserved in high school. It set me off from everyone and everything. It kept me from playing sports and having girlfriends – all the things a teenage boy wants.”

Finnegan, at the age of 17, began working with D’Angelo. Two months in, an unexpected challenge arose. “My mom found she needed a heart transplant,” he remembers. “She was helicoptered to Minnesota and I went every week to see her.

Summer came and I went to Mizzou. I applied what Charles had taught me there and lost more than 100 pounds.”

Today, more than a decade later, his mother has run half-marathons and works out daily. Finnegan left his corporate job and bought a gym, inspired to have the life-changing impact on others that D’Angelo had on him.

“I invest in my health because I know how much better I am when I’m eating [well] and working out,” he describes. “You make it a part of your day like with everything else, like taking a shower or brushing your teeth. Trust in the process.”

Fr. Ted Vitali reflects on when he first met D’Angelo, who was a student

12 October OCTOBER 18, 2019 | LadueNews.com 2019 | LadueNews.com | a laDue news sPeCial ProMoTion

in his class at Saint Louis University. Once class was done and Vitali was no longer his professor, Vitali, who tipped the scales at 250 pounds, decided to give D’Angelo’s program a go. “I went to him like a little boy going into kindergarten, overwhelmed by the possibility of what he was doing,” he recalls.

When D’Angelo told Vitali that he could achieve his dream of getting to a healthy, doctor-recommended weight, Vitali balked. “I thought it impossible,” he shares. “I gave up [that notion] with Lent 40 years ago. Then, I hit 185 in two or three months.”

Vitali compares the challenge to other addictions, which is why having a community can be of immense value. “You need a sponsor – somebody who has shared in that same [struggle],” he believes, which he found in D’Angelo. “Accountability matters. The difference between losing the weight and keeping it off is essentially the same. It requires a pattern of exercise and, most of all, eating.”

A decade later and Vitali considers himself the healthiest 78-year-old he knows. “I struggled with aches and pain,” he says. “I had high blood-pressure, almost had a stroke. That was [before meeting Charlie. Today,] I have no arthritis, no high blood-pressure. In the profoundest sense, I owe Charlie my health – probably even my life.”

Through self-discipline, D’Angelo fundamentally altered his own life, having faced the same challenges as a teenager. Aiding others in their revolutionary makeovers feels like a calling to him.

“Transformation takes effort,” he asserts. “It’s a journey without a finish line.

My mission is to give my clients that experience of success, installing the mental ‘software’ so that they continue to maintain an attitude of self-compassion and confidence, rather than self-contempt, long after our coaching relationship has come to an end.”

IT’S NOT juST ABOuT [A CuRE] ... wE SHOuLd BE ABLE TO [...] HELP PATIENTS LIvE MEANINgFuL LIvES. – Dr. SaaD NaSeer

T

here are some diseases and disorders that are not only wellknown but have an equally well-known foundation that funds treatment and a search for a cure. When one is diagnosed with a rare disease, however, or is interested in learning more about one, the resources can be a lot more difficult to come by.

The Snow Foundation was created for Wolfram syndrome, a rare disease that effects one in 500,000 people, and works to make it easier for families to get the information they need. “The foundation has pooled everything so that if you’re a patient or parent, you now have somewhere to turn when researching the disease, where as seven years ago there would have been nothing,” Dr. Saad Naseer, a physician and foundation board member, explains. “We are an international foundation and the leading resource [for Wolfram syndrome].”

The Snow Foundation was founded in 2012 by Stephanie Gebel with the mission that no other child or family go through what her now 14-year-old daughter is going through. Wolfram syndrome is a single-gene defect, with symptoms including: diabetes, vision and hearing loss, and neurodegeneration similar to that of Parkinson’s, dementia and Alzheimer’s. Most people are diagnosed as children and have a life expectancy of 40 years.

Naseer describes the mission of the Snow Foundation as research and patient advocacy driven. “We provide information to families and help subsidize costs,” he says. Patients around the world can get enrolled in clinics at Washington University [WashU], supported by the Snow Foundation, and be connected to the appropriate doctors and researchers, regardless of where they live.

One of the most healing aspects that Naseer has found is in having a communication network so children can talk to others with the disease – something that isn’t common for those with rare disease. “That was one of [the foundation’s] goals,” Naseer says. “It’s not just about curing it, but we should be able to make it better for people and help patients to live meaningful lives.”

In an effort to put patients first, the Snow Foundation also put on a patientcentric symposium at Washington University [WashU] in July, allowing patients to speak to doctors around the world about their experiences and what they should be doing. As Naseer explains, it’s fundamental that doctors listen to patients with rare diseases: “They’re the one [living] with it every day.”

Research into rare diseases is not easy, Naseer adds: “It’s harder to raise money than it is for something more common. It’s hard for people to relate.” A similar problem arises with getting investments from drug companies. “People invest in things that they think are going to work [and] have a big enough [impact].”

There is currently no cure for Wolfram syndrome and all fundraising goes to research toward therapies that can control symptoms and make patients more comfortable, as well as finding a cure. “Last year we were informed that rare diseases would have zero percent indirect cost at WashU,” Naseer says, explaining that indirect costs, the cost for labs and salaries for university researchers, will often take more than 50 percent of incoming money from grants and donations.

“The Snow Foundation played a significant role in making this happen.”

“Our own costs are five percent or less,” Naseer continues. “We don’t maintain a full office or full staff. Other charities might spend more money on their marketing and on their office, but then that is less money going toward the cause.

When you’re giving to foundations, you should inquire about that and you should care about it.”

Naseer advises that researching where fundraising money goes is the best way for people to help themselves, their families, or the community.

“If the goal is to help other people, you should put the time into looking at where best to invest your money,” Naseer says. “That’s the way you make a greater impact in society.”

ecause biodiversity preservation and species extinction often form dinner table topics in our household, my husband, Peter, and I read with dread a shocking avian analysis recently published in the esteemed journal Science.

That analysis reported that the population of birds in the U.S. and Canada has fallen by 29 percent in the last 50 years. The magnitude of this new measurement of avian loss, by species and by region, reflects the overall declining health of our environment. Like the longstanding “canary in the coal mine” practice, using a sensitive bird species to detect potentially deadly increases in carbon monoxide unsafe for miners, now multitudinous species are dramatically indicating unsafe environmental conditions for us all.

In fact, some estimates suggest that without serious intervention, half of all species of plants and animals may be extinct by 2100. Such dramatic declines have been attributed to agricultural expansion, urbanization, insecticides, impacts with glass windows and towers, domestic and feral cats, West Nile virus and pollution.

So what can you, personally, do to help preserve our native birds? Consider these suggestions: Start by keeping your cat indoors and notifying authorities of any feral felines present in your neighborhood.

Eradicate bush honeysuckle, a noxious, invasive weed, as it tempts birds with brightly colored fruits completely lacking in nutritive value. (Think birdy junk food.)

Wing Haven

By Pat Raven, Ph.D., with Julie Hess Fill your landscape with native plants that provide natural food sources for migratory and resident birds.

Supplement nature with a steady food supply with high nutritional and caloric value, like mealworms and suet. Hot pepper suet works well in our feeders for keeping squirrels away. Believe me, it really does work.

By using a deluxe squirrelproof feeder I bought 15 years ago from Davenport, Iowa’s Wild Birds Unlimited and the hot pepper suet, my squirrel problem has virtually disappeared.

Provide cover for roosting birds. Include some densely branched shrubbery in your landscape.

Where possible in wooded areas, leave dead trees standing to become woodpecker trees, useful as a food source and nesting site.

Fresh water remains essential, with moving water being best. We maintain a traditional birdbath with a floral centerpiece that spouts water. I add a drop or two of pet-safe algaecide once a week and completely drain and rinse the birdbath every two or three weeks. With static water features, use mosquito-control treatments containing Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis, soil-borne bacteria used since the ’50s for natural insect control).

Hang more birdhouses. By supplying protected spaces and shelter, you can encourage nesting by many species. We have houses suited for small species like bluebirds and large species like the bigger woodpeckers.

Put out good nesting materials (like dog brushings, cattail fluff, dried moss and dried Japanese maple leaves) in a hanging suet cage to keep them from

blowing away.

Finally, if you can stomach it, cull aggressive invasive bird species like starlings that commandeer the nesting cavities created with much effort by woodpeckers, and crush any eggs inside. Starlings greatly disrupt the lifecycles of our native songbirds.

Our bird garden has given us hundreds of hours of pleasure, watching the antics and interaction of many species. We’ve learned life lessons from nature about the real “pecking order.”

With woodpeckers, for instance, the tiny downies yield the suet feeders to the larger hairies, and the hairies move over for the bigger red-bellieds, which then cede the feeders to the elegant flickers. And they all get out of the way when the giant pileateds come in for lunch; till the magnificent pileateds have had their fill, all of the smaller birds perch on the sidelines. Also, when the pileateds come, the mourning doves cluck with excitement because the pileateds eat messily and fling lots of suet onto the ground, where it’s easy for the doves to get.

Birds make delightful viewing and form an important part of our natural ecosystems. They need our aid now in a big way. Conservation programs have saved the bald eagle, the wood duck, the trumpeter swan and the California condor. You yourself can help the robin and the warbler by making your own gardens, your children’s school grounds, your churchyards and your clubs into much-needed havens for our winged friends.

A custom wedding stationery business ss in St. Louis recentlyy expanded intoo a bricks-and-mortar presence.

It’s not just a weddIng wedd InvItatIon; It’s a representatIon of you as a couple and your unIon. un on.

I

t’s the countdown before you take a leap of faith. It’s the breath you hold before making your mind up on a big decision. It’s the cue to smile in a picture with a loved one.

“I named it on three designs because I like thinking about the things you can do on the count of three,” owner alicia lantzy says of her st. louis business. “It’s usually something fun or risky with a loved one.” when lantzy took her own leap of faith in june 2017 to turn her three-year side gig as a stationer into a full-time small business, she couldn’t imagine where she’d be two-plus years later. today, she focuses almost exclusively on wedding and wedding-adjacent 100 percent custom paper goods and has expanded out of her attic home office and into a bricks-and-mortar space in st. louis’s southampton neighborhood. In september, she opened her office in the multiuse artists’ space, which she co-hosts with Maggie laskowitz of Mix & Match boutique. lantzy’s appointment-only space is the second step in the consultation process when ordering on three designs’ paper goods, which range from wedding invitations to save-the-dates to menus and day-of needs. the first step is filling out a personal questionnaire so lantzy can get a sense of a couple’s history, background and wedding details before an in-person meeting. once face-to-face, she starts with the personal details and then dives into design: the style and feel of the wedding; what pinterest boards, pictures and sites the betrothed are using for inspiration; traditional versus classic ceremony. then, she’ll use the space to spread out, collaborate and look at samples, palettes and various techniques before crafting and sending a proposal.

“By the time they leave, we both have a pretty established idea of where we’re

StAtiOnery PhOtOS by MiKe CASSiMAtiS PhOtOGrAPhy

going,” lantzy says. “that’s the consultation process: It’s a lot of chatting; it’s a lot of playing. we make a big, huge mess, lay a bunch of things out, and talk about design and color and all the really fun stuff. stationery is surprisingly overwhelming, but guiding them through all the custom options means more times than not, paper is one of their favorite things to plan for the wedding.” part of that premeeting apprehension comes from the fact that lantzy’s options are essentially limitless due to her relationships with a variety of printers and vendors – she’s not limited to letterpress only as other stationers are, for example. rather, her printing options range from letterpress to foil press (most popular) to digital printing of hand-painted watercolors and illustrations that lantzy creates herself. she also does die-cutting – a recent example featured rsvp cards cut into the shape of a vintage trolley for a Meet Me in St. Louis-themed wedding – and embellishments like silk ribbons and wax seals. overall, lantzy describes her stationery’s aesthetic as having a classic, traditional look that feels personal. “they want it to be clean and classic and to be able to look back at it 20 years from now and not think it was a trend,” she says. “But then at the same time, they want their personalities to show through, or maybe a touch of whimsy, so they come to me to add those details like watercolor or an illustration, or maybe they want to incorporate their pet into the invitations.” that last request has become so popular, in fact, that lantzy recently launched another business, the emerald Hound, solely focused on petcentric paper goods for weddings. clients send in pet photos, and lantzy hand-draws gorgeous line illustrations to be foil-pressed on cocktail napkins, drink stirrers, favor tags,

coasters and other reception-party décor. “people are loving it,” lantzy says. “one of the more popular things is for people to name signature drinks after their pets, like a ‘frankie 75’ for a french 75 or ‘charlie’s champagne’ cocktail. they’re looking for multiple ways to involve their pets – aka kids—in the wedding since the pets usually can’t be there physically. and the guests get a kick out of it: If they know the couple at all, they know how obsessed they are with their pets.” despite having had a baby in mid-september, lantzy is still taking orders for the 2020 summer and fall wedding season. More information on her specific availability, pricing, printing timeline and process, as well as examples of her recent work, can be found on the on three designs website. even with the craziness of a new baby and an expanding pet business, lantzy says every order she completes with on three designs is memorable because of the personal connection she creates with each client.

“I tell my clients all the time that this is a collaboration: you’re not picking from a book; you’re not hiring me to make something up on my own,” she says. “It’s not just a wedding invitation; it’s a representation of you as a couple and your union. I love for their guests to be able to open that invitation and know, before they even read the names, who it came from. I can look at any wedding invitation and automatically think not of the technique or what went into it, but of that couple.”

Hearing aids help many people by making the sounds they hear louder.

Unfortunately as hearing loss progresses, sounds need not only to be made louder, but clearer. Cochlear implants may give you that clarity and they are covered by Medicare.*

While wearing hearing aid(s), do you...

Have difficulty hearing conversations, especially in noisy situations?

Have trouble hearing on the telephone?

COMMUNICATION CONVERSATION

Successful Communication

‌C

ommunication ranges so wide across the spectrum that it can encompass everything from a simple expression of love to a presentation before an annual shareholders’ meeting – from a handshake and hello welcoming newcomers at a luncheon to a call for action to support a candidate or cause.

None seem similar, yet elements of effectiveness remain constant in all. Whether seeking employment, a promotion, college admission or a yes from a personal proposal, here are five to remember: Honesty. “Always be honest! There’s less to remember that way.” This was a favorite mantra of the late Tripp Frohlichstein, founder of Mediamasters, whom I worked with for many years serving corporate clients facing the media or managing internal communications. In public situations, you don’t have to reveal everything, but what you do say needs to be true. In personal situations, what you keep secret can sink you, so challenge yourself to tell all you can.

Having multiple versions of any story out there can thwart you in the end. People remember more than you think and will call you on dishonesty discovered. Just hoping they won’t is a highly risky strategy.

Brevity. Know your point and be able to make it within five minutes or less. Then use visual examples and positive points to prove what you say is true. If we can see it, we can believe it.

Have a “Home Base.” This should be something simple like serving clients/customers or “I love you,” in a very different situation. “Home base” is your safe place to go when stumped, so keeping it short makes it quickly accessible by memory when needed and nervous.

Know Your Facts. “Home base” needs proof that has been thoroughly researched. Start with “Here’s why … ,” “Here’s how … ” or “For example … ,” then follow with facts.

Authenticity of Emotion. Human emotion is unique. Showing it in words and body language is effective if fused with all of the above. That’s an important if. Emotion without substance rings hollow.

Emotion with reasons can be unbeatable. But beware: We’re not talking crying here. Know your limits and don’t “lose it” unintentionally.

In planning any communication situation, incorporate these five elements to produce a hopefully successful outcome.

Tripp, thank you for all our years working together.

Hyken’s HOMEWORK Stressful Applications

‌A

By Dr. Russell Hyken

pplying for college is stressful for any teen. With more than 9,000 colleges and universities in the United States, the decision-making process may well evoke angst for even the most prepared student.

There are applications to complete, essays to write and major life choices to be made.

Further adding to students’ stress about this important process is that many school counselors recommend teens think about college before high school begins.

These experts say the classes teens take and the extracurricular activities they pursue can influence college acceptance. Although this may be true, it is more important for freshmen and sophomores to focus on grades than on what courses and activities will get them to the college of their dreams.

Sometime during the sophomore year, most students meet with their guidance counselor. Junior year, however, is when the search becomes real. To keep the process organized and as stress-free as possible, students should create a college calendar, online or otherwise. Include “soft” dates like college visitation days and dates to ask teachers for recommendation letters, as well as “hard” targets such as ACT/SAT dates and application deadlines.

In addition to managing their individual college calendar, students need to manage their day-to-day schedule. Dividing time between the application process and schoolwork can be challenging. Teens should tackle small tasks weekly so work doesn’t pile up and send stress levels soaring as deadlines approach.

As the process moves forward, encourage your son or daughter to stay focused on himself or herself. Someone, inevitably, will be further in the process or applying to a better school. It is more important for your teen to manage his or her own expectations than it is to compare his or her progress and choices to those of friends. If students maintain their perspective and keep their attitude positive, things will work out!

Parents can also help keep moods calm. It is natural to ask your child’s friends where they are applying – but don’t! Not only does this further fuel your own teen’s angst, as he or she may feel as if you’re making indirect comparisons, but also it creates anxiety for the child you are asking, as he or she may feel judged, have personal insecurities or just feel annoyed by the question. Where to attend is a personal situation, and it is important for adults to respect the privacy of others.

At some point during the process, most teens likely will have a meltdown. When that happens, validate your child’s anxieties, and listen to his or her worries.

Parents often want to solve problems, but all your child may want is a shoulder to cry on. Let the tears flow; that may be just the thing your son or daughter needs to feel better.

Senior year is a hectic time. Stress, however, is a motivating force that helps students meet their application goals. Support your child and trust you have raised an intelligent individual who makes good decisions. Let your school’s college counselor do his or her job, and celebrate this exciting time of life.

TEST DRIV E

2020 Toy

ota Supra Story and p

hotos by R yan Scott

LadueNews.com | October 18, 2019 57

Reflecting a recent design collab with another automaker, Toyota unleashes a sweet new sports car that ranks as something of a blast from the past.

18, 2019 | LadueNews.com 5858 October october 18, 2019 | LadueNews.com

L

ast month’s Test Drive focused on an unlikely collaboration between BMW and Toyota, with the focus on the former. This month, the latter takes the limelight.

As faithful readers will recall, that Test Drive discussed how Toyota teamed with BMW to design a common platform and economically revive not only the Bimmer Z4 but also its own Supra.

Nostalgic Japanese domestic market, or JDM, fans from the early 1990s – me included – rejoiced at the news: finally a new Supra, gone for 20 years following the economic late’90s slump for such $30,000-plus sports cars!

Some doubt lingered, though, about whether Toyota’s BMW collaboration had yielded just a Bimmer hidden in a Toyota shell – or whether the resurrected Supra retained its own identity. Seemingly only a test drive could rout that doubt, and with the memory of the Z4 fresh, now seemed the perfect time for that drive.

Outwardly, you’d never guess the Supra and Z4 share nearly identical underpinnings. With a shape evolved from the stunning 2014 Toyota FT-1 concept, the new Supra casts a unique silhouette. During my short time behind its wheel, numerous thumbs-up gestures and much rubbernecking from passing motorists greeted the vehicle – this Supra isn’t for those who wish to go unnoticed.

Despite the new Z4’s attractiveness, however, I felt much more low-key behind its wheel. And to further

address the differentiation from the BMW, no more than a few miles made me recognize the Supra as a much harderedged sports car.

That said, my very first inkling of the Supra as its own creation took place on sliding into the driver’s seat. The high bolsters conspired with the low roofline to make me contort my 6-foot-2 frame a bit to enter without bumping my head – reminiscent of how sports cars used to be.

Also, the cabin’s tight feel surprised me at first, although once adjusted, I fit quite nicely. Unlike the more spacious Z4 interior, the Supra boasts the cockpit of a purposeful driver’s machine.

Power delivery from the 335-horsepower, 365-poundfeet of torque 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine also differs quite a lot – in the sense that there’s a lot more of it! The Supra jumps off the line, with the full-throttle rear end squirming for traction, and through second gear, the Michelin Pilot Sport tires struggle to put the power to tarmac. The Z4 didn’t have nearly this thrust (even though BMW rates its output much higher). Despite identical engines, Toyota squeezes more from it in realworld use – enough for 0-to-60 blasts in 3.8 seconds and a quarter-mile jaunt of 12.3 seconds at 113 mph.

The same goes for the soundtrack. In sport mode, the exhaust notes of both the Supra and its Bimmer counterpart are clearly audible, but the Toyota ranks much more so, with extra cracks and burbles on deceleration. The Z4 can scoot, yes, but the additional tactile and audible reward for doing so in the Supra made me much more anxious to put the hammer down.

Also, although both cars share the same eight-speed ZF transmission, the Supra, again, rides the knife edge more. Apply just a hint of throttle, and it downshifts immediately, holding at high revs for longer periods.

The more grown-up versus more playful juxtaposition scarcely ended there, though. Although the Z4 proved quite capable on tight back roads, its feeling of mass and slight hesitation to inputs made the exercise feel more like work. In the Supra, the same roads just melted away, with one corner disappearing into the next – tossing terrain around felt like the vehicle’s wheelhouse. Moreover, where the Z4 felt bigger than it was, the Supra feels smaller. In fact, on tight roads, the balance and lack of computer intervention felt much like a past MX-5 of mine with upgraded track suspension and wider/stickier tires – a good thing. This Supra should prove popular among weekend track racers and autocrossers; its ample power and rigidly composed chassis make it the perfect tool.

At the end of my drive, I didn’t just conclude the Supra and Z4 differ: I felt shocked at just how much they differ.

Even though my first automotive love, a Mazda RX-7, kept me from embracing the Supra as more than a worthy competitor in the ’90s, now I can see myself owning one.

Toyota decided sagely about the car’s character to make it appeal to 40-something ex-JDM kids like me.

Just barely comfortable enough for every day, the Supra – again, for drivers like me – counts far more in the absence of compromise on driving excitement, and although Toyota historically has lacked strength in that area, the company nailed it on this go-round. So anyone longing for a return to the day when Japanese sports cars ruled the scene should schedule a test drive – mine certainly made me nostalgic.

Support A Safe Place, Win a Supra One lucky individual could speed away in a 2020 GR Toyota Supra Launch Edition (or take the MSRP cash value) by supporting Mary’s House of Hope at A Safe Place.

A Safe Place, a division of COMTREA Health Center, is a shelter for domestic violence survivors in the greater St. Louis area. Victims learn to break the cycle of violence through counseling, support groups and education, while receiving assistance with nutrition, budgeting, housing options and overall care. However, the need for additional housing has become evident after turning away an increasing number of individuals from the shelter each year.

Mary’s House of Hope at A Safe Place, a transitional housing program, will provide additional apartment-style complexes to offer safe housing, development of life skills and time for preparation to independent living.

Simply purchase a ticket at comtrea.org/supra or at Twin City Toyota – only 1,500 tickets will be sold (the same number of Supras being produced). The drawing for the winner will take place on Black Friday, Nov. 29.

COMMUNITY SCHOOL

EDUCATION Spotlight

By Maggie Peters

MISSION PROFILE

Community School fosters the intellectual, emotional, and creative growth of young children and encourages their development by applying a STEAM-based curriculum.

A

few years ago the biggest buzz in education was a push toward STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Recently a new acronym has been introduced: STEAM. STEAM includes the same subjects as STEM with an added art focus. This model teaches students creative problemsolving by taking an artistic approach to science and technology.

Although STEAM might seem like a new buzzword, for Community School it has been the bedrock of its curriculum since its founding in 1914. “We like to say we have the original STEAM program, and we’re happy that people are catching up,” says Bob Cooke, head of school.

“I think one of the key aspects [of STEAM] is that it really helps teach critical thinking,” Cooke continues. “We don’t know the jobs of the future … but we know it will involve thinking creatively. It really teaches them the core skills they’ll need regardless of what they do with their lives.”

Alongside using STEAM, Community School also prepares its students for real-world skills by not having their teachers siloed off by subject. “We think weaving [subjects] together is more realistic to how we live our lives,” Cooke says. “It makes for fuller and longer-lasting learning for our students.”

Cooke gives examples of this integrated learning method: “We are one of the few elementary schools in the U.S. with a woodshop. When doing our 6th grade play, the students in charge of set design created a full-size treehouse that held six students. The woodshop teacher came in to help them with the skills they needed but then stepped back and let them do the building and designing with all the critical thinking needed.”

Community School teachers are experts in their areas, and help students weave their lessons together using creativity and problem-solving skills. “The kids are the leaders, and are supported by teachers,” Cooke adds.

Community School will be hosting two events in November for interested families. First, its Open House on November 2, and then Connect with Community on November 12. The latter will take place while class is in session and allow for parents to get a sense of what the average school day will be like.

“It’s great for parents to understand who we are and what we do here,” Cooke asserts. “It’s an amazing place for kids to come and learn.”

OPEN HOUSE

saturday, nov. 2 from 9 to 11:30 a.m.

According to Panneerselvam, Turmeric’s menu draws from traditions from all over India, with such dishes as dosas (thin, crispy South Indian rice crêpes) alongside artfully presented small plates and entrées.

A section of the dinner menu also features chef’s special fusion dishes like rack of New Zealand spring lamb marinated with spices and herbs, baked with Dijon mustard crust and served with mint rogan sauce, pan-fried broccoli and spinach, and the grain mix kitchari.

“We have unique kinds of dishes on our menu, special presentations and modern creations, all made with hand-picked spices,” Panneerselvam says. “We also have vegan and gluten-free options.”

Highlights from the menu include Bombay sliders

with spiced potato patty fritters, soft pav bread, tamarind chutney and cilantro chutney. Cauliflower Manchurian bezule, another small-plate option, comprises crispy coated fried cauliflower florets tossed in a sweet-and-tangy Indo-Chinese sauce. A kebab sampler features a selection of marinated meats cooked in a tandoor: Kandhari chicken, lamb and tiger shrimp, served with paneer, mint and cilantro.

Dosas made from fermented rice and lentil batter come in options like a truffle masala dosa stuffed with potato masala hash, chopped cashews and curry leaves. Utappam, a thick, soft pancake variant, can come four ways: with shallots and chili, wild mushroom, cheese, and spinach and asparagus.

He lives a comfortable, middle-class life in September 1937 in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn, even if he shares a bedroom with his posthigh school-aged brother, Stanley. That’s because his cousins, Nora and Laurie, have shared the other upstairs bedroom since they and their mother, Blanche, moved in with the Jeromes after their father died a few years earlier.

They all are at least a little “comfortable” because Eugene’s father, Jack, works two jobs, and Stanley contributes his small weekly paycheck, as well.

While Eugene lusts over 16-year-old Nora’s ample “development,” Jack frets about the growing Nazi menace in Europe, where several of his and wife Kate’s relatives still live.

Jack, regretful that he couldn’t afford a higher education for Stanley, wants Eugene to go to college.

Blanche, a timid soul whose asthma more or less confines her to the house, has her own decision to make when Nora is invited to take part in a new Broadway musical. The teen wants to experience the bright lights, but what about her education?

Nora’s younger sister, Laurie, is pampered because of her “fluttering heart,” but is she being overprotected?

And are Kate’s maternal instincts slowly fraying from the ongoing pressure of caring for so many family members, including her sister, Blanche, and her nieces?

Welcome to life with the Jeromes.

Highlights: New Jewish Theatre opens its 2019-20 season with a finely crafted, touching interpretation of Neil Simon’s excellent autobiographical play, which ran on Broadway for more than 1,300 performances in the 1980s.

Other Info: In his program notes, artistic director Eddie Coffield writes that after Simon died in 2018, he “knew immediately that we would produce one of his plays this season in honor and celebration of one of America’s greatest and prolific playwrights. I think Brighton Beach is his greatest play.”

Brighton Beach Memoirs, the first in Simon’s “Eugene trilogy,” has an abundance of laughs evoked in Simon’s inimitable, witty style. It also, though, contains considerable pathos. As director Alan Knoll observes, Simon looks back on his childhood in this comedy which has “even more grounding and allows audiences to connect even more fully with his characters.”

Thus, Brighton Beach Memoirs is a poignant comedy, not a documentary. That’s just fine for most of us, and Knoll lovingly guides his tightknit cast in this heartwarming production.

Jacob Flekier instills Eugene with all the animated exaggeration required to accentuate the teen’s puberty and his contagious zest for life. He excels at listening and responding in amazed shouts to Stanley’s teachings on the finer points of life, including the magical mystery of girls, and a reflexive, goodhumored view of himself as the cause of any family catastrophe, no matter how small.

Spencer Kruse is splendid as Stanley, a lad who sticks up for the downtrodden at work – with potentially alarming consequences – but also who courts trouble even when he knows it will upset his parents. Summer Baer displays the petulance and overwrought emotions of the budding Nora, who clashes frequently with her mother, and Lydia Mae Foss is amusing as the smart, observant Laurie.

Jane Paradise contributes fine work as the loving if authoritarian Kate, with a wonderfully expressive turn by Laurie McConnell as Blanche, who takes umbrage when Kate derides “those people,” an Irish family across the street, including a tippling son with a soft spot for Blanche. Chuck Brinkley completes the cast with a richly wrought portrayal of Jack, devoted family man and hard worker in Simon’s rose-colored, rearview mirror.

Simon said the Jeromes “aren’t heroes. But I am kind to them and show their better aspects, because that’s the impression they left with me.” This superb New Jewish Theatre presentation hopefully will help you recall warm memories of your own upbringing as you study Simon’s snapshot of his own childhood.

Arts Speak

Professor

William E. Wallace

By Bryan A. Hollerbach

Dubbed by one reviewer “the most distinguished scholar of Michelangelo now working,” William E. Wallace will discuss and sign advance copies of his latest volume on that artist’s artist at Left Bank Books this coming Monday. Prior to that free Oct. 21 event at 7 p.m., Wallace – who teaches in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Washington University in St. Louis and serves there as the Barbara Murphy Bryant Distinguished Professor of Art History – briefly discussed that 328-page illustrated tome, Michelangelo, God’s Architect: The Story of His Final Years & Greatest Masterpiece, which Princeton University Press will release in November.

What specifically inspired the writing of Michelangelo, God’s Architect?

After writing seven books on Michelangelo, I thought I was done. Then I turned 60. On sabbatical in Rome and looking at St. Peter’s dome from my window, I became increasingly intrigued by how the “story” of Michelangelo’s youthful heroic rise to fame overshadows his late-life achievements. In his 70s and 80s, Michelangelo changed the course of architecture for centuries to come! Perhaps it takes being 60 to appreciate the poignant narrative of an aging artist confronting the greatest challenge of his creative life: to build new St. Peter’s, all the while knowing he’d never see it to completion.

How would you yourself encapsulate – and, given the fact that it sounds quite novelistic, characterize – Michelangelo, God’s Architect?

In the words of the distinguished historian John

Elliott, writing good history is “the ability to enter imaginatively into the life of a society remote in time and place, and produce a plausible explanation of why its inhabitants thought and behaved as they did.”

In writing Michelangelo, God’s Architect, I tried to immerse us in the chaotic and foul mess that was sinful Rome, and tried to help readers smell the sweat of carters hauling blocks of stone, feel the strain of ropes and on muscles, hear the constant cacophony of chisels and chatter at the sprawling worksite, sense the danger of laying bricks at the edge of a 200-foot yawning void, and savor the sweet pears and fine trebbiano wine that Michelangelo preferred.

In an era and a nation increasingly obsessed with youth and transience, to what extent could you see a contemporary reader speculating that Michelangelo, God’s Architect may contain a readbetween-the-lines lesson or two?

A few lessons we might all take away: (1) Don’t rush to solutions. Michelangelo shunned fancy designs and models. After many years, he learned that solutions are discovered and rarely anticipated. (2) Build solid foundations. A building is dependent upon and follows its foundations. Michelangelo never saw the dome of St. Peter’s, but he laid the foundations on which the dome rose. A good life is also built upon solid foundations. (3) Learn to collaborate. In the prime of his career, Michelangelo often tried to do everything himself, probably because he only trusted himself and saw how many mistakes arose when he wasn’t overseeing every detail. The most important

lesson that Michelangelo learned: You cannot do everything yourself.

Forgive a perhaps momentary descent into daffiness, but given the dramatic sound of Michelangelo, God’s Architect, could you envision Hollywood taking an interest in the volume – and if so, who would you choose to fill Michelangelo’s roll?

It’s difficult not to picture Michelangelo as Charlton Heston, the star of The Agony and the Ecstasy [director Carol Reed’s 1965 Oscar-nominated film]. But that movie culminated with Michelangelo painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, when he was 37 years old. The artist still had another 52 years to live and St. Peter’s to build. The Michelangelo of God’s Architect, the movie, must be a robust man in his 70s and 80s. The English Shakespearean actor Simon Callow did a magnificent reading in making the audio version of my book; therefore, I nominate Simon Callow.

In that you’ve written/edited more than half a dozen other volumes about Michelangelo, to what extent does this volume, given the timing of its focus, constitute something of a culmination for you – or are you already mulling another project involving Il Divino?

As Leonardo da Vinci famously mused, “Tell me if anything is ever done.”

The

EyesHave It

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos courtesy of Paula Haniszewski

70 October 18, 2019 | LadueNews.com

A brand-new CWE art exhibition gives visitors insights into a creator whose works they may recognize from a new local hotel.

B

elleville artist Paula Haniszewski is taking the spotlight in a new-as-new-gets solo exhibition at Houska Gallery in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood.

That exhibition, which runs from Oct. 18 to Nov. 30, occupies the visual art showcase opened more than two decades ago by its namesake, local pop artist Charles Houska.

“Her imagery is irreverent and satirical, a little mysterious, yet also has an air of extravagance,” Jessica Mannisi, the gallery’s curatorial director, says of Haniszewski’s work. “Her treatment of both her subjects and the media in which she works is thoughtful, thought-provoking and humorous. Further, the juxtaposition of her imagery with a vibrant, nearly fluorescent color palette leaves the viewer guessing and asking questions.”

That said, visitors to the Houska may experience disquiet to the extent that Haniszewski numbers among her inspirations two groups still inexplicable and vexatious to many Americans fully a century after those groups’ heyday: the Dadaists and the original Surrealists.

“Man Ray and Hannah Höch are just two artists that I continuously reference and find inspiring,” Haniszewski says, referring to the noted American visual artist expatriated to Paris and the German photocollagist.

“Most often, the figures in my paintings come from a source, but a lot of my imagery is imagined, which tends to result in a surreal, dadaist outcome.

For this show, I start with a figure that I want to explore in a new way and start layering in different environments, symbols and color, pulling from art history and contemporary sources.”

Beyond the masks of Belgian great René Magritte (American Dream Beauty Queen, Inheritance, Trap Queen) and the freakazoidal follies of everyone’s favorite mad Spaniard, Salvador Dalí (Press One), Haniszewski, on her website, cites influences as strangely diverse as Grant (American Gothic) Wood, Edwardian-era American portraitist John Singer Sargent and (!) Walt Disney.

“The neurosis surrounding success and failure, right and wrong, and the past and present, are themes that inspire me,” Haniszewski’s website states.

“Visitors should expect an exploration of portraiture,” she elaborates, in response to an inquiry into what art aficionados can anticipate from the Houska exhibition. “I like the challenge of pulling images from art history, vintage print ads and film stills, and then reconstructing them, resulting in the creation of a new persona.”

By way of sketching her artistic education and experience, Haniszewski mentions earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and a Master of Fine Arts from the New York Academy of Art.

“While living in New York City, I was lucky to get experience working at the Claire Oliver Gallery, and then for Philip Slein when I moved back to the [local] area,” she continues. “Currently, I serve as the art department chair at [Belleville’s] Southwestern Illinois College in addition to exhibiting my artwork.”

Mannisi relates that the new exhibition basically arose from a professional/personal connection of long standing. “I’ve actually known Paula for over 10 years … ,” she says. “For 8 years, I was the assistant curator of the William and Florence Schmidt Art Center, which is on Southwestern Illinois College’s campus. We worked together very closely with various art, exhibition and student programming. Of course, we became friends through such a close working relationship.”

That connection between the artist and the curator led to another connection for Haniszewski, with the opening last November of a unique St. Louis venue now displaying a number of her works: the Angad Arts Hotel.

Haniszewski says that Mannisi, as curator for the hotel, “put me in touch with the executive managing director, David Miskit, who wanted eyeball drawings for each room. He later asked if I would be interested in creating six paintings for the Chameleon Lounge. It was an incredible experience to be a part of, and I love seeing people interact with the artwork on social media.”

Those “eyeball drawings” transformed into funnily unnerving paired pillows in the hotel’s color-coded bedrooms. The lounge, meanwhile, became the showcase for Haniszewski’s And She Wanders; Crisp, White, Sadness; Inheritance; Press One; Punk Ass for President; and Who Cares.

Moreover, Mannisi relates, the Angad work led directly to the Houska exhibition. In curating the hotel’s inaugural year of exhibitions and acquisitions of permanent artwork, she included Haniszewski in several proposals to Miskit. “Her works fit perfectly within the scope of the project and the director’s/owner’s vision for the hotel,” Mannisi says – and one thing led to another.

“During the grand opening reception at the hotel, Charlie [Houska] was immediately drawn to Paula’s work … As the curatorial director of Houska – yes, I wear many hats and have curated for a number of spaces – Charlie insisted we had to have an exhibition of her work.”

Haniszewski mentions how much she anticipates greeting visitors to the Houska. “One of the best things about art exhibitions are the people I get to meet and have conversations with,” she says. “Just talking with folks about the work and letting them know that I am all ears and genuinely interested in hearing their take on the exhibition is my personal approach.”

Otherwise, after noting in passing that she and her husband are restoring a vintage 1885 residence – no mean feat with which to occupy one’s spare time – the artist briefly discusses her future projects.

“My goal is to do a lot of experimentation after the exhibition at Houska Gallery,” Haniszewski says. “I plan on exploring sculpture and incorporating larger paintings into my practice. I am also doing some grant writing and will hopefully get the opportunity to exhibit my work on the West Coast.”
