r. Bryan Deloney, Chesterfield, is bringing one D of the newest advancements in natural health and healing to local residents. Deloney is helping

patients reverse health challenges, such as excess weight, diabetes, sleep apnea, thyroid disorders fibromyalgia and autoimmune issues, using the NutriMost Resonant Frequency Technology (NRF).

NRF technology takes a hormonal fingerprint to determine the exact blueprint a person needs to follow to bring their body into an optimal state of fat burning and health.

First, patients undergo a fast, painless scan of their body’s cells by using the comprehensive electroimpedance resonant frequency (NRF) technology.

This allows Dr. Deloney to take a “hormonal fingerprint” of every factor that affects weight gain, including fat burning, fat storage, metabolism, the organs involved, hormones, neurotransmitters, vitamins, minerals, metals, toxins, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, candida, parasites and nanobacteria. It gives him the capability of measuring and assisting the body’s innate healing abilities. NRF technology is so advanced and specific it can determine hormone imbalances, organ function weakness, and much more.

Deloney explains, “we determine your personal recipe for healthy weight and healing using resonant frequencies”.

When the cells of your body are exposed to “pollen” or “bacteria”, the exposed cells elicit a cellular response. Everything in life has a resonant frequency (vibrational frequency, how the molecules vibrate)…including pollen, bacteria, hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. If your cells are exposed to the resonant frequency of pollen, without the presence of pollen, your cells will have the same response as if they were exposed to the pollen itself.

Everyone Gains Weight Differently Due to Hormones NRF technology can target your hormone imbalances and get to the cause of your weight gain, overcoming weight loss resistance and solving your weight challenges.

Using this understanding of resonant frequencies, Dr. Deloney can determine precisely what the body needs to bring it into its optimal fat burning zone and keep it there. This is done by measuring the baseline of each factor being measured (hormone, neurotransmitter, heavy metal, bacteria, virus, organ, etc.), and then the doctor can determine what supplement or formula is needed by observing what the effect of that item is on the baseline (whether it makes it more coherent or less coherent).

The program displays the results as a circle with red and green dots around it. From here, it identifies the biomarkers (vitamins, minerals, hormones, neurotransmitters, toxins, microbes, etc.) that are out of range regarding the fat burning zone. Once the out-of-range fat biomarkers are identified, the program will determine exactly what is needed to bring the biomarkers back into fat burning. It will identify what is needed nutritionally; but more than that, the foundation of the whole program is the ability to determine the exact “recipe” for each person’s fat burning. The program creates a “recipe” for hormones/neurotransmitters, a “recipe” for detox and a “recipe” for the fat burning formula.

Let the Balancing and Healing Begin Once in this balance state and fat burning zone: • You experience no hunger or cravings, unlike other weight loss programs • The typical fat loss is between ½ pound and 2 pounds of fat per day • You will have more energy, better sleep, and you will be in a better mood • Your hormones will become more and more balanced • You will enter a state of autophagy, which helps the body overcome all sorts of health challenges The NutriMost Ultimate Fat Loss System is safe, fast, and effective. You’ll clear out harmful toxins and balance your hormones as you lose fat at an unbelievable pace. Typical results see patients losing 20 – 40 pounds in 40 days. And the best part? The results are permanent. Following your 40 days of fat loss, NutriMost will reset your metabolism and weight set point, so you can keep the weight off for good. This safe, doctor-supervised system works in just 6 weeks, guaranteed.

With the onset of fall weather, one gravitates toward red wines. Beaujolais has gotten a bad rap from Beaujolais Nouveau in the past. I recommend a Cru Beaujolais (p. 58), which showcases what this wine is about.

DR. JOSEPH KAHN I was on vacation a few weeks ago in Disney World and was depressed to see the number of truly overweight children struggling to get around and have fun. We can do better for them! (p. 44)

JOHN JOHNSON I chose to feature a recipe for the infamous twice-baked potato (p. 45). Potatoes are at their peak this time of slsc.org

from the

EDITOR ‌A FRIEND FROM CANADA RECENTLY CAME TO TOWN TO VISIT, and since she had never been to St. Louis before, there were two things she especially wanted to see: the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Gateway Arch. For as long as I can remember, the Arch has welcomed me home from every trip – whether I was only gone for a week’s vacation, or after living in another state for a few years. But I’ll admit, it had been a long time since I visited the massive monument for its own sake or rode the tram to the top.

This symbol of St. Louis is celebrating its 50th birthday next week on Wed., Oct. 28, and there could be no better time to renew this beloved structure. Through the years, it has stood for innovation, modernity and the city’s aspirations to return to its status as a metropolitan powerhouse. The CityArchRiver project is using this anniversary as an opportunity to take the Arch to the next level, with a $221 million renovation that will incorporate green space, bike trails, children’s areas, new riverfront attractions and an expanded museum.

Join me in celebrating this momentous occasion, in hopes that the renovation of our greatest monument becomes a sign of great things to come for our region. For details about commemorative events, visit cityarchriver.org.

teller for business and banking, the spacious public conference room for business meetings and nonprofit group events, and the waiting area as an office. “It’s fun to see the different people come in – we’ve got comfortable seats and Wi-Fi,” Sems says. “And while they’re here, we’d love for them to open up an account with our bank – but it’s a no-pressure situation.”

Reliance chairman Tom Brouster says the success of the banking-and-coffee concept has sparked plans for coffee shops inside six more branches, including a Starbucks that is set for the Des Peres location if it is approved by the municipality.

The distinct concept is one of many successes Reliance has brewed in recent years. Brouster says the community has responded to the locally owned and operated bank’s high level of personal service for big and small banking needs. “Our clients don’t have to go through a bureaucratic process,” he says. “We have an excellent team able to make local decisions with a quick delivery time.”

After staging a major turnaround in 2012, Reliance has remained profitable for three years running, with loans up 14 percent and deposits up 7 percent year to year. And the bank continues to grow, with not only the Frontenac branch, but also a branch in The Grove that opened earlier this year – for a total of 20 St. Louis area locations. “We’ve had tremendous success with rebuilding the bank,” Brouster says. “We’d like to expand with at least two more area locations.”

ith an exterior of classic red brick, stately columns, slate roofing, a cupola and a fountain, and an interior barrel-vaulted ceiling, glass-walled offices, a tech bar, an interactive teller and a coffee shop, Reliance Bank’s new Frontenac branch marries tradition and modernity.

The locally owned community financial institution’s new location opened in August at Clayton Road and Lindbergh Boulevard with a fresh concept: a coffee shop inside the bank branch. “Noncustomers rarely come into a bank branch,” says president and chief executive officer Rick Sems. “I noticed a lot of people doing business in coffee shops.” So Reliance decided to partner with Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop to make its latest branch a one-stop shop for banking and coffee.

The unique idea has come to fruition, with a Tim Hortons Express Cafe inside the bank’s Frontenac branch.

With more than 200 noncustomers visiting each day, the combination is proving to be an appealing concept to the community. “We want this to be a community gathering spot,” Sems says. Its central location at the “gateway to Frontenac” attracts all ages throughout the day to bank, grab a coffee – or both. “Retirees come early in the morning, then we see folks who stop in on their way to work, people who visit after their morning workout and parents after they drop off their kids at school,” Sems says. “Later in the day, we see the work crowd and students after school.”

ELEMENTS

A CALM OASIS

By Robyn Dexter

T

his master bedroom was designed by Ken Stückenschneider of Stückenschneider Decoration & Design with the idea of creating an “elegant, calm oasis.” The standout aspect of the room is the beautiful tented ceiling, an English Regency-inspired detail in the house built by architect Robert A. M. Stern, professor and dean of the Yale School of Architecture.

The ceiling and walls are covered in custom linen velvet, which Stückenschneider developed in partnership with an Italian mill.

“The perfect cream color with an elegant sheen didn’t exist in the marketplace,” Stückenschneider says. French upholstery firm Atelier Charles Jouffre came to St. Louis, straight after completing project at Cartier’s Paris flagship store, to complete the intricate work of lining the walls with the fabric.

Stückenschneider worked with the clients to incorporate their English and Chinese antiques and porcelain, along with several pieces of Chinese furniture. One unexpected aspect of the room is the TV embedded in the footboard of the elaborate bed. “It was the first of its kind, but it’s now possible because of very thin televisions and lift technology,” Stückenschneider says. Above it all hangs an antique English crystal chandelier, accented with cobalt-blue glass made in Brighton for the Indian export trade in the 19th century.

Design Speak A Q&A with Emily Castle of Castle Design

By Connie Mitchell ensure they get top-notch design and expert service.

I see every design along the process to be sure the client’s expectations are being met.

You and your team have designed a wide array of spaces, from historic to modern. How do you begin to get a feel for a space and develop the final vision?

We normally make an initial consultation to establish the scope of work, client’s desires and time frame. Almost all of our projects involve some kind of construction, so space planning often plays a major role. Once the client sees how they will live in the space, a major challenge is accomplished.

What do you personally enjoy most about the process? What projects are you most proud of?

I love being part of a project from day one with an architect. Designing a house from the inside out ensures that the spaces are functional and just large enough for the way our clients want to live. I am most proud of projects where the clients are willing to put their trust in us to take care of every detail.

What do you think makes Castle Design unique among the panoply of area design firms?

Castle Design won’t take a client unless we know

EMILY CASTLE PHOTO BY CHARLES L. BARNES, HOME PHOTOS BY ALISE O’BRIEN

Whether it’s a historic home or a sleek new loft, Emily Castle, managing principal of Castle Design, creates eye-catching interiors that express her clients’ unique preferences and lifestyles. Castle recently was named a regional winner of the Sub-Zero and Wolf Kitchen Contest, which recognized 80 of the best kitchen designs from around the world. Ladue News sat down with Castle to ask about her work, her design philosophy and her Castle Design team.

How did you establish Castle Design, and how would you describe your design philosophy?

I established Castle Design in 2003 after working for many top designers in town. I have a degree in architecture as well, so my design work tends to be cleaner in nature with less clutter.

Tell us a bit about your design team. Do various designers have specific skills that you match with client needs? How do you ensure the designers you hire will represent Castle Design’s style and vision?

I currently have eight designers in St. Louis and one in Naples, Florida. Their expertise spans from very contemporary to traditional and everything in between. I personally match clients and designers to

Central Hall Designer: Julie Bruns of Relative Design

Designer Julie Bruns, principal of Relative Design, was already quite familiar with this year’s Show House. She did some design work in the home in 2005, when Johnny and Sylvia Londoff still owned it. “Since I have history with the home, I knew I would enjoy designing any space,” says Bruns, who has been practicing interior design in St. Louis for the past 15 years. “I was offered the central hall, a grand space with American colonial architecture that provides the initial impression of this beautiful home.” Describing her personal style as “clean, classic and transitional combined with a bit of the unexpected,” Bruns set out to impart “a classical, modern vibe” in the central hall, which boasts fruitwood wainscoting and large, impressively detailed cornices. To achieve her desired look and feel, Bruns’ design plan called for a mix of distinctive modern furnishings and antique pieces. “Contemporary artwork, one-of-a-kind rugs, bold fabrics and accessories allowed me to turn up the volume a bit.”

Councill’s Epps transitional style sideboard is distinguished by diamond-patterned doors with ribbon stripe mahogany and ebony borders.

A custom-made geometric patterned area rug from Stanton Carpet adds a soft element underfoot in the heavily woodpaneled hall.

A Baker upholstered ottoman features an unexpected black-andwhite zebra print on cowhide, adding a dose of bold pattern.

Above the wainscoting, an ombre metallic wash over SherwinWilliams’ Meditative paint lightens and brightens the space.

LadueNews.com | october 23, 2015

Lighting was an important consideration in the dark interior hallway and figures heavily into the design plan. It includes the antiqueinspired Mistral chandelier from Niermann-Weeks.

Adding a modern vibe to the traditional hall is Baker’s Celestial chest and Blossom mirror.

Interior designers from across St. Louis have transformed 12 rooms at the 2015 Ladue News Show House located at 1751 Woodlawn Ave. in Huntleigh, which is open to the public until Sun., Oct. 25. The following previews share insight into the design process for four of the rooms: the central hall, conservatory, artist’s studio in the former pool house and powder room. Be sure to pick up next week’s issue for the big reveal in Elegant Living. For more information about the Show House, sponsored by Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, or to buy tickets, visit laduenews.com.

The French Modern vibe comes through clearly in the elegant Bevilacqua chandelier from Currey and Company. It features reflective glass flutes made with recycled bud vases and a silver-leafed wrought-iron frame.

The window treatment features Scalamandré’s geometric Ming Fretwork in the Delft colorway.

The design of the black accent chairs repeats the fretwork motif and provides another subtle dose of chinoiserie chic.

The Tuxedo cabinet with a vanilla finish and gold hardware from Hickory Chair and the clean-lined Huxley secretary desk from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams are evocative of 1940s French Modern.

preview Conservatory

A table skirt features exuberant floral patterned fabric called Chinoiserie Flower from Designers Guild. The design is based on a hand-painted Chinese garden scene featuring birds and pomegranate blossoms.

Designer: Vicki Dreste of Victoria Dreste Designs

Vicki Dreste, principal of Victoria Dreste Designs, was drawn to the Show House conservatory, which is located on the north side of the home and accessed from the parlor. Dreste immediately saw potential in the bright, cheerful room, which features beautiful windows on three sides and a set of French doors leading directly to a charming vintage-brick patio. Dreste’s design for the conservatory is an homage to two distinct styles, 1940s French Modern and chinoiserie chic, which exist happily together in the room. “It’s the perfect combination of traditional and modern,” says Dreste, who holds a bachelor’s degree in fine arts and has been working in the design industry for 30 years. Dreste chose furniture evocative of the design genres and used a lively blend of fabrics, including floral, toile and fretwork patterns in shades of blue, white, tan, black, gold and carnation.

Artist’s Studio

Designer: Gina Dill-Thebeau of Dill-Thebeau Design Company

“When I first saw the room, I knew exactly what I was going to do: design a modern space, stylistically removed from the rest of the house and a surprise to people when they made it out to the furthest room on the property,” says Gina Dill-Thebeau of Dill-Thebeau Design Company, who created an artist’s studio within the pool house, a short distance from the main residence. “It’s a perfect, quiet place to get away,” says Dill-Thebeau, who has an associate’s degree in interior design from St. Louis Community College-Meramec and worked at a high-end St. Louis design firm for more than a decade before opening her own business. Dill-Thebeau’s biggest challenge was the outdated kitchenette on the north side of the room, which she decided to cover with drywall. She painted the walls with Sherwin-Williams’ Rock Bottom, an ideal backdrop for the clean-lined modern pieces throughout the room, which according to Dill-Thebeau, “borrow geometric attributes and a familiar color palette from the World War I era of Constructivism, which influenced the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements.”

The Zanotta-Greg sofa is a classic Italian design in black leather with chrome legs. It’s made with wide, reinforced arms for perch seating.

The Tantrum, an angular white pendant LED light, was the first piece Dill-Thebeau selected for the room and set its tone.

The striking red acrylic revolving cabinet doubles as an art piece with 20 pivoting drawers that can be arranged in interesting configurations.

The iconic Cassina chaise longue, designed in 1928

by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret, is dubbed the “relaxing machine.” This licensed reproduction statement piece from the Bauhaus era helps differentiate the room from the more familiar mid-century style.

24

LadueNews.com | october 23, 2015

Large pieces of artwork were custom-designed

by Dill-Thebeau especially for the space.

The Taccia LED lamp, originally designed by Achille + Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962, provides indirect and reflected light and has an adjustable hand-blown clear-glass diffuser to reflect light where desired.

Bright complementary colors, including Sherwin-Williams’ Afternoon, a warm, rich orange-yellow, make the powder room cheery and comfortable.

Kirkton says the vintage blue tiles on the wall behind the vanity speak to the era when the home was built.

The powder room vanity is a converted lateVictorian burled walnut dresser with a marble top, clean lines and a quiet, classic beauty that makes it at home almost anywhere.

On the lower walls, the designer used gray honed limestone ogee cornice as a chair rail with a largeformat subway tile featuring a gray stria in a high-gloss finish.

preview

The gray-and-white window treatment with a tasseled edge was custom-made by a local artist from a knitted throw.

It covers an unattractive frosted glass panel while minimizing interference with natural light.

Powder Room Designer: Jennifer Kirkton of Jennifer Kirkton

“This is a room that will be visited by all,” says Jennifer Kirkton, tongue firmly planted in cheek, of the first-floor powder room she designed for the Show House. “(Although it’s small), it needed to be interesting, charming and offer hospitality to a wide range of visitors requiring short spells of comfort,” says Kirkton, who earned an associate’s degree in interior design from St. Louis Community College-Meramec and holds a bachelor’s degree in art history and religious studies from Webster University. Kirkton chose to blend old and new accents in the room after seeing a pair of vintage Italian opaline sconces original to the house lying on the floor. “The contractor told me that they were pulled from the powder room and could be reused – done!” she says. “My course was set. I knew that I wanted to use those amazing sconces and pay homage to the history of the home.”

Q&A with RACHEL

ZOLOTOV

By Julia Christensen

‌ fter two years in the Emerging Artists tent, and A last year’s Emerging Artist Best in Show award, Rachel Zolotov recently made her first solo appearance at the popular Saint Louis Art Fair. This local jewelry designer combines vintage pieces with high-quality additions like gemstones and pearls. Ladue News caught up with the artist after her successful show to find out more about the woman behind the designs.

How would you describe your collection to someone who hasn’t seen it before?

I would describe my collection as vintage and antique jewelry upcycled with hand-woven pearls and natural gemstones. I give new life to old pieces by intricately weaving them with pearls on silk thread to create a wearable piece of art.

Who do you picture wearing your pieces?

I picture women beyond age 30 wearing my jewelry.

My pieces range from casual to special-occasion wear.

Although some of them look intricate, they are very durable and can be worn every day – I wear my pieces daily, even with two little ones running around!

Your collection has a vintage vibe. Where do you find your inspiration?

My collection incorporates vintage and antique pieces into every design. I have always loved antique jewelry, and I wanted to find a way to pair my antique brooches and pins that I never wore with my hand weaving. I realized that I wasn’t the only one with family pieces tucked away in the jewelry box, and I knew I had found my niche.

Could you explain the process of an item – say, a necklace for example – from start to finish?

Is there a system, or do things happen more organically?

The process for each piece is slightly different,

but for the most part, I start with the vintage or antique piece and use it as my base. I pair it with matching pearls or gemstones and sketch out some ideas on paper to come up with a final design. I take my inspiration from antique jewelry styles, as well as new fashion, and come up with a piece that is timeless and trendy at the same time. For instance, my latest necklaces are a take on the French tassel sautoirs from the early 1900s.

Tell me a bit about your work background.

How did you get into this field? How long have you been designing jewelry?

I attended the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California, and graduated in 2005 with graduate degrees in jewelry and gemology and applied jewelry arts. I went on to further my education in Austria for hand engraving. I have always loved jewelry and have been sketching jewelry designs since I was a child. My parents are in the jewelry business, so I grew up with it.

This was your first solo appearance at the Saint Louis Art Fair. How did it go?

This year was incredible, and I enjoyed sharing my passion with St. Louis. I had a great show, and I hope

that I will be back next year.

You balance your work with parenting – how do you find time to tackle it all?

I have two little girls – 4 years old and 5 months old. They keep me very busy and active. I get my work done when the girls are asleep. When people ask me how long it took me to complete a piece, I usually tell them how many “nap times” it took.

BACK IN

Black

By Amanda Dahl

Look fierce this fall with the latest trend, which turns classic style on its head. From winged cat eyes to grunge goddess, black liner proves just how versatile it can be, making it your go-to weapon in your makeup arsenal this season.

1. Start with a fresh base and create flawless features, with Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation Concentrate. Shown in Ivory,

this all-over coverage features a matte finish and makes skin luminous. $55, available at Sephora 2. Give your cheeks a lovely flush, as if from a chilly walk, with Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Swish & Pop Blush in First Love. The outer rim provides a smooth line of subtle color along the cheekbone. Dab the center’s creamy texture on the apple of your cheeks for a soft, shimmery color made from finely crushed pearls. $40, available at Nordstrom 3. Of course, the pièce de résistance of this

glamorized look is a precise black eyeliner.

Choose Marc Jacobs Beauty Magic Marc’er Precision Pen Waterproof Eyeliner in Blackest Black to create fine and bold lines in succession, with the flick of the calligraphy-style pen. The liquid liner will serve you well at work with a delicate cat eye, and also at play with a double-wing or a thick line along your bottom lashes. $30, available at Sephora 4. Top off those gorgeous rims with an innovative mascara, like Per-fekt Liquid Lash Curler in Magic Black. The brush adds length and curl to create dazzling lashes. $28.50, available at Soft Surroundings 5. Let your eyes do all the talking, as your lips play the perfect accent. To complete the ensemble, soften your lips with a moisture-boosting lip color from Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip. Swipe on Mod for an all-nude chic look or Neutral Rose for a hint of warmth. $35, available at fine department stores

On the heels of opening their new boutique, Fauxgerty, in the Central West End, designer Chrissy Fogerty and art director Megan Ebaugh-Faris share the inspiration behind their compassionate fashions.

D

espite what the first four letters of Chrissy Fogerty’s eponymous shop, Fauxgerty, imply, the only faux element of the burgeoning local vegan jacket company is leather. Every other part of Fauxgerty is awash in a palpable, earnest authenticity that aims to prove you don’t have to make the difficult choice between ethical, cruelty-free clothing and high fashion.

Fauxgerty was inspired by a wardrobe staple that became Fogerty’s signature piece. “When I got to college, the first thing I bought was a faux leather jacket from Urban Outfitters,” she recalls. “It was my jam. I wore it to class; I wore it out; I wore it all the time. It was ripping from all ends, and I loved it.” During her time at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, Fogerty honed her interest through fashion internships, finding her focus in the lack of high-quality vegan leather jackets. “That,” Fogerty says, “is where it began.”

Fogerty’s first job out of college was at a graphic design studio where she met and befriended Megan Ebaugh-Faris, a graphic designer and artist,

who joined the Fauxgerty team as art director. “I told her, ‘I want to do this vegan leather jacket company, and more importantly, you have to paint on them.’” The pair poured their hearts into Fauxgerty to get the company off the ground, setting and tackling a singular overarching mission – building a brand that is progressive and promotes positivity and where they’re able to do things their own way.

The leather jacket is a timeless wardrobe staple that is as much a finishing piece as it is a functional piece of outerwear. But to understand faux leather, you have to forget what you know about the real thing. The key to Fauxgerty’s jackets is quality fabric. “It’s progressed past the Britney Spears pleather onesie,” Fogerty says with a laugh. “It’s not going to crack, it’s not shiny – it’s not that material.” Faux leather has come far in the past 10 years – technological advances in how it’s made and tests with various polyurethane and polyester blends, as well as a rise in social awareness of animal rights issues. “We’re really picky with the fabric,” Fogerty says.

In fall 2014, Fogerty and Ebaugh-Faris debuted Fauxgerty’s Primary collection. Manufactured in New York City, the collection, as the name implies, features a biker-chic style in bold primary colors like bright red and cobalt and with a soft, high-quality polyurethane and polyester outer shell, geometric-patterned silk lining and distinctive detailing. On the right shoulder of each jacket, the word “primary” is debossed (or made with an indented impression, the opposite of embossing) in Morse code, a special touch made possible by Fauxgerty’s commitment to small-batch production.

Every part of their work, from fabric selection to Ebaugh-Faris’ one-of-a-kind hand-painted pieces, is deeply personal.

All Fauxgerty products are American-made, with fabrics sourced from New York and Los Angeles. Fogerty and Ebaugh-Faris maintain a close working relationship with their seamstress in Lafayette Square, who works with them to design the patterns for their collections. For their fall 2015 collection, Trove, cut-and-sew production was moved from New York to Chicago, even closer to home.

Bolstered by successful online sales, the company opened a brick-andmortar shop at 228 N. Euclid Ave. in the Central West End on Oct. 16. While some wear their hearts on their sleeves, Fogerty and Ebaugh-Faris have hearts hanging on industrial metal racks in their store, each grouped by color.

The shop’s opening coincided with the debut of the Trove collection, featuring a lightweight faux suede jacket with a super-soft lining made from recycled plastic bottles. One of the color options in the collection, Echo, features a hand-stamped pattern that was meticulously pressed in Fogerty’s own apartment.

The boutique will offer the Primary and Trove collections, as well as tanks, T-shirts and sweatshirts designed by Ebaugh-Faris and screenprinted in New York City featuring cheeky slogans such as “Carnivores for Herbivores” and Cleo the cow, Fauxgerty’s adorable mascot, created by Ebaugh-Faris. The shop will also carry Matt & Nat vegan handbags, Herbivore Botanicals skincare products and a curated jewelry collection that will include new-to-St. Louis designers such as Chicago’s Laura Lombardi.

Most of the furniture in the shop was sourced locally from Reclaim Renew, with Fogerty’s mother, Diane Fogerty, owner of Savvy Surrounding Style in Ladue, providing guidance for some key accent pieces to create an overall ecomeets-industrial-chic space. The shop also features a creative space where Ebaugh-Faris will be able to work on her hand-painted custom jackets, as well as customer-commissioned pieces.

Fogerty and Ebaugh-Faris are excited to see how the Fauxgerty boutique will help build the brand. “I’m excited to see people’s first reactions, what people gravitate toward, so we can do what people like,” Fogerty says.

So far, Fogerty says the Central West End community has provided enthusiastic support for the store, and she looks forward to being able to make an impact in the neighborhood – think collaborations like vegan desserts made by a dietitian and served in the

shop. Whatever comes next, Fauxgerty’s compassionate fashions are sure to make an indelible mark.

hough the process of buying glasses can be intimidating, The Eye Bar encourages its customers to pull up a chair and let the staff do the work. It’s a full experience; visitors to The Eye Bar aren’t just selecting new frames.

“We do all the work for you,” says Stacey Plank, who owns The Eye Bar with her husband, Jared.

“You’re not just buying another pair of eyeglasses – this is fashion.”

Eye Bar staff work with their clients to find the right style and shape for their personality and lifestyle, creating an experience out of the process, rather than making it a chore.

“When we were coming up with the ideas for The Eye Bar, we knew we wanted something less clinical,” Plank says. “We wanted it to be comfortable and like a shopping experience rather than customers just being shuffled from room to room.”

The first thing customers notice when they enter The Eye Bar is, quite appropriately, the bar. The Planks encourage their customers to go about the process of buying eyeglasses leisurely by having a drink first and then meeting with an “eyewear guru” to go over what type of eyeglasses will best complement the client’s life and style.

“We try to have the perfect balance between fashion and the technical aspect of eyewear,” Plank says. “We stay on top of new things coming out in the fashion world.”

The Eye Bar is going strong in its seventh year at 401 N. Euclid Ave. and shows no signs of slowing

40

down. Plank says the store’s reviews on Yelp and Google have been positive, and the customers really seem to enjoy the experience provided.

“We take education seriously here,” Plank says.

“Staff members aren’t thrown into helping someone unless they know the latest technology. We just started working with a company that helps with eyewear for color blindness. We want to always move forward and offer things you wouldn’t find anywhere else.”

From Oct. 23 to 31, The Eye Bar will host a trunk show featuring entire collections and all-new colors for eyewear. A $50 donation will get customers a Glennon Card, which gives them 20 percent off in the store and at hundreds of other local shops.

The Glennon Card is a discount shopping program through Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and the Glennon Guild. In 2014, card purchases raised more than $180,000 for new, advanced procedural and surgical scopes for numerous areas of the hospital.

At The Eye Bar, some of the designs featured at the week-long trunk show are theo eyewear, Robert Marc, Lunor, MYKITA, Salt Optics, l.a. Eyeworks, Sama Eyewear and Anne et Valentin. Plank says the trunk show gives customers the chance to see a complete collection, not just certain pieces from a certain designer they carry in the store.

“Every day is a party here,” Plank says.

Tipping the Scales in Children’s Favor

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

‌C

hildhood obesity as a result of lifestyle choices remains the No. 1 issue facing children and their parents today. What can we, as parents and grandparents, do to help our children maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle? ‌Get off to the best start.

Studies show that children who are exclusively breast-fed for six months, and maintain breast-feeding for as long as possible throughout the first year of life, are less likely to struggle with childhood obesity.

And remember, you control what your children eat.

Your toddler does not drive to the market and buy snacks on his own. Here are some tips to help your child eat more healthfully.

Half the plate at any meal should be fruit and vegetables.

Limit high-fat foods, such as fried foods.

Limit the amount of sugared beverages you allow your child to drink, including juices, sports drinks and soda. Limit fruit juice to one 8-ounce serving daily.

A meal should consist of no more than three fistfuls of food.

Limit between-meal snacks and be sure they are healthy fruits and veggies.

Kids older than 2 should drink one glass of

gaining, he will likely gain enough height to “grow into” his weight. skim milk at every meal (to get enough calcium and vitamins), and limit the total intake of other dairy products, including yogurt, cheese and ice cream. ‌Be sure to encourage physical activity. A minimum of one hour daily is best.

Do not allow your children to watch TV in their bedrooms. This will encourage them to be more active and reduce the chances of having a sedentary lifestyle as they get older.

Limit screen time (TV, videos, computer, tablet) to no more than two hours daily.

If your child is struggling with weight, remember that often, the goal is not to lose weight, but rather to slow the rate of weight gain. A typical child gains

about 5 pounds yearly during the school year. If an overweight child stops gaining, he will likely gain enough height to “grow into” his weight.

Most importantly, provide an example of a healthy lifestyle. Your child is less likely to reach for the fruit if he sees you reaching for the chips and less likely to exercise if she sees your daily workout as reaching for the remote. Lifestyle is a family matter, and you owe it to your kids to be the best example possible.

ith cooler days coming, I’m reminded of one of my favorite side dishes – the twice-baked potato.

For this classic dish, begin with slicing a simple baked potato in half. Follow that by scooping out the fluffy potato center and mixing it with butter, milk and shredded Parmesan cheese into a warm, velvety mash. Then, refill each half of the potato skin and bake until the top becomes golden.

Here are two versions that take this beautiful side and turns it into a delicious, quick and easy meal that’s both healthy and packed with flavor.

TWICE-BAKED ITALIAN STEAK POTATO Ingredients: 2 large Idaho potatoes, baked 8 oz. grilled steak, diced 8 grape tomatoes, halved 1 tsp minced jalapeño 4 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese 2 Tbsp parsley, chopped 1 Tbsp butter Salt and pepper to taste

TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATO Ingredients: 2 sweet potatoes, baked 2 4-oz. chicken breasts, grilled and diced 3 Tbsp chopped Missouri pecans 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro 1 Tbsp butter Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

beginning with a hot potato, it should take half the time).

Using a spoon, scoop out each half of the sweet potato into a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and blend. Refill the sweet potato halves and bake in a 350-degree oven until heated through (approximately 20 minutes; if you are

For two decades, Missouri Baptist Breast HealthCare Center’s mammography van has offered life-saving screenings for early detection of breast cancer to women across the St. Louis area.

By Robyn Dexter | Photos by Sarah Conard

F

or nearly 20 years, Missouri Baptist Breast HealthCare Center has been providing mobile mammography services through its mammography van.

“I constantly hear from women that they wouldn’t get (mammograms) unless the van came to them,” says Laura Ferree, sales and marketing coordinator of mammography services at Missouri Baptist’s Breast HealthCare Center.

Roughly 9 percent of women who have mammogram screenings are called back for further tests.

“In 2013, we found 12 breast cancers in women (who came to the van),” says Dr. Geoffrey Hamill, the medical director at the hospital’s Breast HealthCare Center. “In 2014, we found nine. We caught those early on and were able to improve the women’s lives and get them treatment.”

Had these women not had mammograms, their cancers would have progressed into more serious stages before they knew anything was wrong. That’s why, year after year, the mammogram van makes its rounds in the outer St. Louis areas, with technicians helping to perform nearly 4,000 mammograms annually.

“We’re always trying to grow that number,” Ferree says. “There’s always that fear factor (when you go to get a mammogram), but it’s all about early detection. The earlier we catch it, the higher your chances are of being a survivor.”

Back in 1996, when the hospital’s van was first introduced, technology was just a fraction of what it is now. Ferree says the filmbased system the van initially used was much more time-consuming than the system in place today.

Today, all mammograms are done digitally, with technicians carrying out the mammography process on the van. “We went digital in 2009 and have so much more visibility now for the radiologists,” Ferree says.

The van features two-view images on both breasts that take only minutes to complete. Scans are sent back to the Breast HealthCare Center and reviewed by radiologists and a computer-aided detection system.

From there, results are shared with the patient and her physician.

The mammography van is on the go every day of the week except Sunday, serving 11 counties outside of St. Louis city and county and going as far as Salem, Missouri. It visits corporations, community sites, retirement centers and much more.

“You simply cannot beat the convenience,” Ferree says. “That’s what mobile mammography is all about.”

Through grants from The Susan G. Komen for the Cure St. Louis Affiliate and Show Me Healthy Women, Missouri Baptist and the

Kay Wittenborn, mammogram technician, cleans the equipment.

mammography van are able to provide free mammography screenings and breast health awareness and education to qualified women, as well.

“Oftentimes, the van is going into counties that may not have these services,” Ferree says.

Hamill notes that women in many of Missouri’s rural counties don’t have ready access to mammography services because their local clinics don’t have the technology needed. “For women who have limited means or don’t have health care coverage, our van offers a tremendous advantage,” he says.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Ferree and Hamill both recommend women who are age 40 and older get a mammogram every year to monitor breast tissue and check for abnormalities.

Ferree, who schedules the van’s stops, says she tries to schedule locations around the same time every year, so women know it’s time for their annual mammogram.

“It’s all about continuity,” Ferree says. “We also send out reminders each year, whether patients come to the Breast HealthCare Center or the van. Breast cancer has more visibility in October, but this is something we preach year-round.”

So far in 2015, Ferree says three mammography screenings on the van have led to early breast cancer diagnoses, which increases each woman’s chance for a hopeful prognosis.

“Those stories are so strong, because when there’s a woman who has volunteered to her friends and co-workers that she has breast

cancer and it was found there on the van, it speaks volumes,” Ferree says. “We also hear that, oftentimes, it’s someone who was hesitant initially or hadn’t (had a mammogram) in a few years, but went because of encouragement from co-workers. We’ve had people tell us we saved their life.”

Anyone interested in requesting the mammography van for a corporate or community site may call 314-996-7559. To learn more about Missouri Baptist Breast HealthCare Center and its mammogram van, visit missouribaptist.org.

Dental When I was a kid, I had a ton of cavities. How can I help my child avoid the same problem?

We all want to give our children the best opportunities for excellent dental health…but sometimes, we don’t know where to start. First, establish a dental home for your child by age 1, or within six months of the eruption of the first tooth. Most general dentists are comfortable performing well-child exams at this age – and the information you will learn about your child’s dental development and oral hygiene is vital.

Next, be a good role model. You are the No. 1 dental educator for your child.

Brush and floss regularly, set expectations for dental hygiene and use positive rewards to encourage good habits. Talk to your dentist about when to start using fluoride toothpaste or mouth rinse to supplement daily brushing and flossing based on your child’s age and needs. A healthy diet also is important to good dental health. Avoid foods that can get stuck in the pits and grooves of your child’s teeth, such as caramel or taffy. Dentists can place a protective coating, known as sealant, on the back teeth to seal off those pits and grooves, and prevent cavities. And of course, visit your dentist regularly to learn the best tips to care for your child’s teeth, as well as your own.

Hand Surgery

How can carpal tunnel be treated?

I believe patients should play an active role in their care. My goal is not just to arrive at a diagnosis, but to explain it, so the patient has a clear understanding of what’s involved in their treatment. The symptoms of carpal tunnel are numbness and tingling in the specific distribution of the nerve being compressed; pain is a rare symptom, typically seen in the latter stages. Treatment of carpal tunnel is initially conservative. Efforts to avoid aggravating activities and repetitive pressure or impact to the heel of the hand help. Splints are worn overnight to prevent wrist flexion during sleep, which increases pressure across the nerve. Finally, anti-inflammatories can help reduce some of the basic inflammation that aggravates this condition. Establishing a relationship of clear communication about the process with a patient will go a long way toward relieving anxiety and transitioning to recovery.

Obstetrics and Gynecology What are the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as estrogen therapy, is used to treat symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes. It also may relieve vaginal dryness, and help resolve some changes that cause problems in the urinary tract after menopause. Some studies show estrogen also protects against osteoporosis by slowing the rate of bone loss, and can even help reduce the risk of colon cancer. While HRT is a successful treatment for many women, there can be increased risks in its use for some women, especially those with a history of cardiovascular disease or blood clots. In women using estrogen alone, the risk of endometrial cancer increases as estrogen causes the lining of the uterus to grow; however, taking a progestin along with estrogen decreases the risk of uterine cancer. The drawback of using a progestin is that it can increase the risk of breast cancer in menopausal women. There also is a chance menopausal women may start bleeding again with the use of both estrogen and progestin. Consult with your OB/GYN to find the appropriate solution to treat symptoms of menopause.

Orthodontics

Creating HeALtHy, confident SMILeS. My dentist recently recommended that I make an appointment with you for an orthodontic evaluation.

What’s the best age to visit the orthodontist and how would an adult benefit from orthodontic treatment? - Mary Anne, 41

Visiting the orthodontist at any age is good if you want to improve your smile and enjoy a healthy, stable bite. I recommend children have their first orthodontic visit near age eight. Many orthodontic problems are more easily corrected if detected at an early age—before jaw growth has slowed down. Early treatment may prevent serious complications at a later age.

Significant benefits of proper orthodontic treatment for adults include: • Better long-term health of teeth, gum tissue and supporting bone.

• Improved function of bite.

• Correction of abnormal function of the jaw joints (TMJ’s) which includes clicking, popping and pain in, and around, the joint area (frequently producing headaches).

• A healthier, more attractive smile and in turn a boosted self-confidence and better quality of life with the freedom to smile without restraint!

• Optimizing other treatment: by coordinating certain types of treatment with other dental specialists to prepare for implants, crowns, bridges, jaw surgery for bite correction and TMJ surgery.

I strongly believe the psychosocial impact of crooked teeth or poor facial balance can profoundly impact one’s self-esteem and overall well-being. The ultimate goal of high-quality orthodontic treatment is not only straight teeth, but also a properly aligned jaw, good facial balance and normal function.

RegenerativeMedicine

What is regenerative medicine?

The term basically means healing injuries by growing new, healthy tissue. It is a significant area of medicine, with the potential to fully heal damaged tissues and organs – offering solutions and hope for people with conditions that today may be beyond repair. Present evidence suggests there are only a few parts of the body that last a lifetime. What makes the majority of the body’s regeneration possible is stem cells, which have the remarkable potential to serve as a sort of internal repair system.

At Bluetail Medical Group, our focus is orthopedic regenerative medicine; and our goal is to get you back to doing what you love, without surgery or a long period of downtime. We harness the power of your body’s stem cells and platelets to repair muscle, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and nerves. The doctors and practitioners of Bluetail Medical Group are known throughout the United States as leaders in regenerative medicine, and patients visit from all over the country. They come from every walk of life, including professional athletes, Olympians, physicians, celebrities and regular folks. Let Bluetail Medical Group get you back to doing the things you love, without pain.

H

eading to The Rep to catch their production of the classic psychological thriller “Angel Street”? Prepare yourself for an evening of intrigue by stopping by Reeds American Table, just down the road in Maplewood, for some pre-show dining. I won’t keep you in suspense – it’s stellar.

Reeds is the new place from chef Matthew Daughaday, who cemented his reputation as executive chef at Taste, where he became known for his small- plate offerings. His menu at Reeds is fairly compact, but packs a lot of creativity and flavor within its confines.

Fans of Daughaday’s petite creations at Taste will rejoice when they see the array of small-plate selections he’s come up with for his new eatery. The fried

fingerling potatoes ($9) come with a savory, smoky harissa and plenty of cilantro. No ketchup needed to flavor these spuds. The roasted cauliflower ($9), which sounds pretty straightforward, is taken to next-level status with a curried cauliflower purée that’s nicely contrasted by some pickled golden raisins. And the braised beef cheeks ($12) are truly not to be missed.

Tender shredded cheek served on a slab of toasted focaccia with a couple of roasted tomatoes alongside and, as if the succulent beef wasn’t rich enough, some foie gras cream. You’ll be wishing this were available as an entrée-sized helping, guaranteed.

Lest you think Reeds is focused only on smaller portions, check out the Large Plates list for some bigger servings, like the steelhead trout ($20). This dish has a lot going on: a perfectly pink piece of fish on

a bed of mushroom risotto, with some fried Brussels sprouts, a bacon beurre monte and a currant-pine nut relish. Despite the variety of ingredients doing their thing here, this creation is very well balanced, and all of the nuances of flavors get room to shine.

Local celeb sommelier Andrey Ivanov runs the beverage program at Reeds, and he’s come up with quite the list of vinos, a comprehensive selection that will satisfy any palate. This time, we opted for a glass of 2014 Ameztoi Rubentis ($11), a dry rosé with just a bit of sparkle. There are also plenty of beers to choose from, as well as some tasty cocktails, like the Peggy Sue ($9), a nicely balanced amalgam of cognac, dry curaçao, lime, honey and Angostura bitters.

Pastry chef extraordinaire Summer Wright has come up with some tantalizing sweets to indulge in, as well.

“Angel Street”

The roasted pears ($8) are super-simple but oh-so good – just the namesake fruit along with some whipped mascarpone and a couple of ricciarelli (Italian cookies similar to macaroons) on the side.

Simple for sure, but the ingredients work more than a little bit of magic together.

The vanilla panna cotta ($8) may be the best example of this creamy favorite that we’ve had in town. It has the perfect creamy consistency, avoiding the unfortunate rubbery texture that happens all too often. A sprinkle of buckwheatalmond streusel provides a nice contrasting crunch.

There’s a large public lot behind the restaurant, so getting in and out is no problem.

Story: Bella Manningham has been married for five years to Jack Manningham, a dashing young man of leisure. They’ve moved recently to a stately old home on Angel Street in Victorian London, where Jack has more or less confined Bella to the abode. While she’s young and beautiful, Jack says that she is fragile and prone to disturbing flights of fancy, wavering between reality and mental illness, just like her late mother.

Curiously cut off from her extended family, Bella seems less and less sure of her own sanity, a condition exacerbated by Jack’s frustrations over her seeming penchant for losing or hiding sundry items in their home. Furthermore, she hears noises at night emanating from the third floor of their home, to which Jack has denied her access.

Exasperated one evening by her so-called ruses, Jack leaves for an evening of socializing at his club with the admonition that Bella return everything to its rightful place or face the consequences. After he leaves, their maid Elizabeth informs Bella that a man has arrived and wishes to see her.

He introduces himself as a police detective named Rough and tells Mrs. Manningham about a particularly grisly murder that occurred in this same house 15 years earlier. Further, he suspects that Jack may in reality be someone else, namely the killer who still is searching for valuable jewels that are hidden somewhere in this handsome old manse.

Can Rough help Bella? Can she trust him, or is he part of a devious plot against her? Is Jack actually a ruthless killer? Does Rough even exist, or is Bella’s madness the cause of this entire scenario, blaming her husband for her own precipitous mental decline?

Highlights: A period piece ripe with melodrama, suspense and intrigue, “Angel Street” offers The Rep a splendid opportunity to play to its theatrical strengths in both onstage performances and technical expertise. The result is an intricately crafted presentation that gives this “ripping yarn” its just due this Halloween season.

Other Info: Patrick Hamilton’s stylish, two-act drama premiered in London in 1938 under the title “Gaslight,” evocative of the dimming lights referred to by the delicate Mrs. Manningham in the script. The title was changed to “Angel Street” when it opened on Broadway in 1941, where it ran for nearly 1,300 performances before closing in 1944. A 1944 film version garnered a Best Actress Oscar for Ingrid Bergman as Bella and featured Angela Lansbury’s movie debut as the saucy maid Nancy.

Geoffrey Wade dominates their production as the affable but still somewhat unsettling Detective Rough. His subtle performance shapes a character who seemingly has come to Mrs. Manningham’s rescue. He maintains just enough of an edge in his portrayal to keep the audience guessing as to his true intentions. Is

he really a policeman, or perhaps is he in collusion with Jack? It’s a well-written role and one well interpreted

by Wade for enhanced effect.

There’s good work, too, by Janie Brookshire as the uncertain Mrs. Manningham, wracked with self-doubts and frailty in that fine old Victorian style. While her character is the cynosure of the tale, Bella’s range is somewhat limited, but Brookshire does well with what she is given.

There are fine supporting performances by Amelia White as the concerned Elizabeth, the older maid who is careful to mask her responses to what she observes in the household, and by Rachel Kenney as the spirited Nancy, who keeps her eyes open for any opportunity to take whatever she can.

Clark Scott Carmichael makes for an imposing and threatening Mr. Manningham, although one might wish for a portrayal that is more shaded and shrouded in doubt than the rather direct nastiness Carmichael conveys. At that, he is quite convincing, however.

Director Jenn Thompson keeps the pace and the mood consistent throughout this cleverly crafted tale, which succeeds as long as one accepts the quaint mores and male-dominated strictures of the era.

“Angel Street” offers the theatricality and grand expressions of acting that suitably showcase The Rep’s deft handling of such an old-fashioned genre.

It’s a fitting salute to the nearly 30-year career of The Rep’s accomplished stage manager, Champe Leary, who is retiring at the conclusion of this production and is lovingly saluted in the program. That’s a career Detective Rough would toast with his flask of scotch.

approach, treating the vineyards only when absolutely necessary. Grand Pré is wine from 40-year-old vines, with no oak aging.

Beaujolais is situated on the southern end of Burgundy; however, the terroir changes to a warm Mediterranean, making the gamay grape, not pinot noir, the main player.

Many people are familiar with Beaujolais Nouveau, which is a fun celebration of the first offerings of the harvest, produced six to eight weeks after. The young wine, freshly fermented, was heavily marketed back in the 1980s with races to see who could get the first bottles to market. Today, Beaujolais Nouveau is still somewhat celebrated, with the third Thursday of November established as the release date. The wines are now shipped to markets ahead of time.

Although the “Nouveau” was a great marketing tactic for many years, there are many fine wines from the region. In the last decade, Beaujolais has re-established itself as a major wine-producing region.

The Beaujolais AOC (the controlled

destination of origin) comprises of 96 villages and is the basic designation for the region, and much of the wine produced goes into Beaujolais Nouveau.

The Beaujolais-Villages AOC is considered a step up in quality, but has little international recognition, and most wine gets consumed within two to three years.

Cru Beaujolais is the highest classification in Beaujolais, consisting of 10 Cru villages or appellations. They do not designate “Beaujolais” on the label, but rather the Cru to separate themselves from Nouveau.

The Crus are generally separated into lightbodied, medium-bodied and fuller-bodied.

Fleurie Cru is considered to be mediumbodied, floral and velvety.

Food Pairings: Beaujolais pairs well with foods like charcuterie, grilled chicken, pork, sausages, mushrooms and mild cheeses.

NASHVILLE BALLET’S PAUL VASTERLING

By Brittany Nay

‌ orty dancers, 60 musicians and 120 singers will storm F the stage as Dance St. Louis presents the thunderous and thrilling “Carmina Burana” from Nov. 6 to 8 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center. Nashville Ballet, University of Missouri-St. Louis Orchestra & Singers, Bach Society of Saint Louis and the St. Louis Children’s Choirs will once again join forces for three breathtaking performances of German composer Carl Orff ’s dramatic masterpiece.

A stunning spectacle to behold, organizers say the massive scope of the production will rock audiences to the core through powerful voices, energetic dances and moving music. Coming off three sold-out performances of “Carmina Burana” in 2013, this year’s production promises to be even more epic, with a world premiere opening act choreographed

by Dance St. Louis artistic and executive director Michael Uthoff and performed by Saint Louis Ballet.

After two years of planning and two months of rehearsals, organizers say nervous excitement is in the air as each group prepares separately and the full team of more than 200 veteran performers and new talents comes together. Together, they say, the magic happens. Nashville Ballet’s artistic director and CEO Paul Vasterling recently gave Ladue News a glimpse into the creation of the grand production.

Describe what its takes to bring together this show.

It will take a good four weeks to put this show together – longer if you count the amount of time it takes to get the choruses, orchestra and vocal soloists

“CARMINA BURANA” Presented by: Dance St. Louis Starring: Nashville Ballet Featuring: University of Missouri-St. Louis Orchestra & Singers, Bach Society of Saint Louis and St. Louis Children’s Choirs, with opening act Saint Louis Ballet When: 8 p.m., Nov. 6 and Nov. 7; 2 p.m., Nov. 8 Where: Touhill Performing Arts Center Cost: $38 to $72 Tickets and info: 314-534-6622 or dancestlouis.org

rehearsed. There are lots of different moving parts involved in this production to create what you’ll see onstage.

What are some of the expected highlights of the performance?

Seeing the enormous amount of people participating in the grand finale is always a highlight.

I also really love the last soprano aria, “In Trutina (In the Balance).” In my choreography, there is a pas de deux (duet) that works beautifully with that music.

Describe the costumes and sets for the show.

The costumes and sets were designed by Eric Harris. Together, we concentrated on the idea that the original poems were written on parchment paper. This inspiration permeates throughout the piece in terms of the costumes and sets. At one point, the dancers will have the actual words of the poems projected onto them. There are several sections of the work, including “In Spring,” “In the Tavern” and “The Court of Love,” and each has a different costume stemming from this overarching inspiration.

What are the biggest challenges of putting together this production?

The biggest challenge is getting it all in sync.

There are a lot of moving parts. But when it all comes together, it’s quite magical.

Will there be any changes from the 2013 show?

There will be new dancers taking on different roles, and that always changes the performance. Nashville Ballet dancers continue to hone their technical and artistic skills, so I’m betting it is going to be even more exciting than last time.

What else can audiences expect from this unique performance?

“Carmina Burana” as a work has a transformative power – people come out of it completely moved. For me, the ballet is about universal love and the circle of life within the context of that universal love. Many people find it to be almost a spiritual experience.

g n i r a f Way conviction

By Mallory Gnaegy

V

intage revivalist musician Pokey LaFarge sounds distracted and tired.

His band’s rig has broken down on the Ohio River Bridge during his U.S. tour, and he’s squeezing in a quick phone interview while he returns the rental van in St. Louis. It’s a far cry from the grinning “We’re-going-toplay-this-song-the-best-we’ve-ever-played-it” enthusiasm on display at his September LouFest performance, but he quickly warms up talking about his dedicated St. Louis fans.

The humble Tower Grove-based musician set out last week for his tour in Europe, where he has a loyal international fan base.

“European fans are some of the best,” he says.

“Americans take things for granted…when you get something you don’t get all the time, I think you show appreciation for it.”

The way he describes it, one can imagine

LaFarge, or Andrew Heissier, his given name, passing through Europe on a rip-roaring crusade like an old-timey medicine show teasing audiences with something so authentically American that they keep coming back for more. But Americans have already been blessed with American music for decades. LaFarge’s creative sound is certainly not popular music, nor is it comparable to what country music has become.

LaFarge is a writer of music first, and his country-western-swing-blues-jazz American hybrid is well steeped in charming lyrics. He’s an unpolluted purist staying true to the sounds by which he’s likely influenced: Milton Brown’s western swing, Bill Monroe’s banjo-picking bluegrass and nods to “The Father of Country,” yodeler Jimmie Rodgers. Ironically, Pokey could be Jimmie Rodgers’ son, with a similar long face, slicked-back hair and thrifted duds.

In talking to LaFarge, one quickly realizes his signature sound and style is not a novelty act or some kind of shtick. It’s an earnest preservationist mentality and dissociation with the manufactured style of today.

“It’s the same thing as drinking a good local craft beer, buying American-made clothing, going to your neighborhood barber shop and eating local farm goods – it’s real, honest music,” he says of his preference for the Americana aesthetic.

And even though some might say he’s a thing of the past, his sound has evolved on each of his six albums since the self-released “Marmalade” in 2006.

For starters, his band’s sound has grown. The band, the South City Three, has been playing together since joining forces in St. Louis in 2009 – Ryan Koenig, harmonica, mandolin, guitjo and hand percussion; Adam Hoskins, guitar; and Joey Continued on page 64

St. Louis-based musician Pokey LaFarge finds a new sound on his latest album, “Something in the Water�

“It’s the same thing as drinking a good local craft beer, buying American-made clothing, going to your neighborhood barbershop and eating local farm goods – it’s real, honest music.”

Glynn, upright bass. The three grew in 2013 by a horns section – TJ Muller, cornet, trombone and banjo; Chloe Feoranzo, clarinet and sax – and an added drum kit, Matt Meyer. The band stays true to his throwback conviction and brings their own stellar musicianship and strong background vocals to the table.

And although LaFarge, 32, plays in the same style as he did when he left his native Bloomington, Illinois, after high school to busk his way across the country, his sound has matured.

LaFarge’s family has been largely influential. His dad has always provided guidance, and his mom’s love for “curb shopping” and antiquing has clearly left its mark. His grandfather was in the St. Louis Banjo Club, bought him his first guitar when he was a young teenager and exposed him to old jazz, bluegrass and country music.

His other grandfather was a military man who taught him about American history. “I’m a World War II buff to this day,” he says.

LaFarge graduated from high school and

64

LadueNews.com | october 23, 2015

hitchhiked around the country, making a living working construction jobs, writing and playing gigs throughout various cities, spending some time in Kentucky and North Carolina. It was in Asheville, North Carolina, that he met Joey Glynn and Ryan Koenig. Adam Hoskins joined Glynn and Koenig in St. Louis to form the South City Three.

After releasing their 2009 album, “Riverboat Soul,” as Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three, they saw their fame rise pretty quickly.

Jack White heard one of LaFarge’s songs on Nashville’s WSM 650 AM and invited him to cut a couple of 45 tracks for Third Man Records’ Blue Series. After a few collaborations and opening for White’s tour, LaFarge co-produced his selftitled album, along with Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, under White’s Third Man Records.

In 2013, LaFarge performed on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” and one of his songs was used on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire.” His popularity grew in 2014 after appearances with Wanda Jackson, Old Crow Medicine Show and, of course,

his buddy White, to name a few.

LaFarge’s toe-tapping early sound has transformed on his latest album, “Something in the Water,” into more down-tempo and refined music. Released this year, the album was produced by roots-specializing record company Rounder Records.

And in 2016, he’s planning to take off and work on a new record. But he’s still planning to make a to-be-announced tour and New Year’s Eve performance in St. Louis. In his time off, you might see him around his favorite St. Louis spots – The Mud House, Blues City Deli or Pappy’s Smokehouse – or you won’t. He’s planning on traveling to inspire his music and satisfy his need for adventure.

“I plan on being a regular schmo,” he says. “I don’t like to sit still.”

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT: Feature Story

Culinary

Creativity Served FreSh at Katie’S Pizza & PaSta OSteria

T

he authentic Italian cuisine served up at Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria is anything but simple. The constant evolution of tastes is a direct result of owner Katie Collier’s dedication to her craft.

“I’m always learning, always researching…talking to different chefs, farmers and people,” Collier says.

“Passion is important, so I continue my education.”

Her passion certainly has lit a path to success. In a mere handful of years, her restaurant has captivated St. Louisans with its delicious developments. From passport dinners, which showcase a cooking style from different Italian regions, to the freshest of ingredients, pulled from local farms or even the restaurant’s own patio garden, people have come to expect an inspired meal. “We’ve definitely elevated our menu since we first opened. We’re better at everything. That naturally happens,” Collier explains.

Customers also have become familiar, allowing the menu to adapt to their preferences. Yet Collier still loves to surprise – a quality her customers have come to admire and anticipate.

“We try to bring in really cool ingredients, use them in a beautiful way and not over-manipulate them.

The fall menu is the best menu we’ve put out yet – and they just keep getting better as we go along.”

Consider the whole-roasted branzino, a bass stuffed

with orange and served in a Calabrian chili verde.

Another small plate offering is the farro and Swiss chard arancini with arrabbiata. “The farro is a grain from Italy,” Collier says. “A hearty, nutty ingredient.”

Of course, all pasta is made from scratch, and a new dish features a tempting long noodle known as bigoli.

“Bigoli has a hole in the middle, and we make it with bone marrow butter and rapini.”

Lamb is prevalent in several savory dishes. The restaurant relies on Bolyard’s Meat & Provisions in Maplewood to deliver fresh product for these heavy hitters. Choose from a lamb marguez pizza or the 10-layer lamb marguez bolognese lasagna. For lighter fare, opt for the shaved kale and finnochiona salad, topped with fresh oregano and creamy balsamic vinaigrette. Pair with bread bites, better known as crostini, topped with gorgonzola cream and roasted butternut squash, with pistachio, honey and thyme.

You can even whet your palate with the orange- and balsamic-marinated pork belly, braised and served with butternut squash gnudi.

To round out the fall menu, desserts have gone sinfully decadent with savory additions. Vanilla gelato is topped with Italian reserve olive oil and Black Cyprus sea salt, while the chocolate torte features a vin santo ganache and candied blood orange peel, alongside vanilla gelato. “I’m always researching

Italian food,” Collier says. “I follow chefs [on social media] from around the world to see the trends, and read a lot of books.”

The humble chef always recognizes the talent and support around her, helping to elevate the restaurant to new heights. Whether it be her fun-loving team or the people closest to her, Collier strives to show appreciation. “My dad – he’s such a character, so awesome,” she laughs. “He’s made me strong and tough, and taught me about humility. He is an entrepreneur.

Growing up with him, I’ve seen the ups and downs of that, which has taught me a lot.” Her father, Tom Lee, owns Katie’s Pizzeria Café. Artist Ted Collier also played a big role in the development of her restaurant. “My husband definitely has helped me to become a more outgoing and social person, which I love,” Collier says. “I was always kind of shy, and now I enjoy connecting with customers more than ever before.”

As a result, Collier has created a vibrant atmosphere, infused with art (courtesy of her husband and mother) and liveliness, from the wood-fired oven to the server setting a dish before the customer. Step inside Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria this fall for a foodie experience worth salivating over.

GERALDINE BROOKS THE SECRET CHORD In perhaps her most ambitious novel yet, Brooks takes on one of literature’s richest and most enigmatic figures: King David, a man who shimmers between history and legend. Peeling away the myth to bring David to life in Second Iron Age Israel, Brooks traces the arc of his journey from obscurity to fame, from shepherd to soldier, from hero to traitor, from beloved king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and diminished dotage, as seen through the eyes of those who love or fear him.
