from the

EDITOR ‌THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS HAVE BEEN A WHIRLWIND IN MY household – so much so that we nearly opted out of a mini getaway simply out of pure exhaustion. Last Thursday, though, as my husband returned from his night class and our little guy was snuggled up in his bed, we realized we were both in need of a little adventure. So Friday morning we packed the truck for a little weekend retreat at the lake, and I’m so glad we did.

Between the mild temperatures, the crystal-clear lake and the breeze from the boat (and a lack of cellphone service), the experience was exactly what we needed. This made me realize exactly what inspires Suzanne Miller Farrell of The Storied House, a new boutique fabric studio in the Central West End. Starting on p. 23, we hope you enjoy learning more about The Storied House and the array of beautiful fabrics Farrell creates. As shared by LN contributing writer Brittany Nay, Farrell finds inspiration for her one-of-a-kind designs through her personal story, experiences and travels that are beyond bold and beautiful.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

t’s evening rush hour and you’re trying to change the SiriusXM channel from “Classic Rewind” to “90s on 9,” when a phone call pops up on the screen via Bluetooth. Fingers fumble and, all of sudden, you’ve not only dropped the call, but also landed on the “Outlaw Country” station.

While the technological bells and whistles that have now become standard in new car models offer a host of benefits, they also bring an extraordinary level of distraction. The 2019 RDX – Acura’s redesigned, midsize luxury SUV – combats these complications with a streamlined interior and high-tech features that prioritize the driver’s comfort, convenience and safety.

“This is one of Acura’s first from-the-ground-up designs to feature the new Precision Crafted Performance mindset,” states Brad Galibert, general sales manager at Mungenast St. Louis Acura. “For the client, that means they’re getting the very latest Acura technology, which is even more advanced than that of our competition.”

“For the past year and a half, Acura has shown a prototype cockpit at various auto shows,” explains Bill Dauben, the dealership’s general manager. No longer just a prototype, the cockpit now achieves full form in the new 2019 RDX. “Everything, from the seating configuration to the comfort of the seats to the layout of the steering wheel and buttons, is designed so that drivers can easily interact without taking their eyes off the road,” he explains.

One highlight of this newly-reconfigured cockpit is the True Touchpad Interface, which splits the display screen from the touchpad. The display screen is now positioned nearer to the driver’s field of vision, with the touchpad lower down and easier to control by hand. Touch anywhere

on its surface, and the “absolute positioning” will be reflected at the corresponding spot on the display in front of you. The first system of its kind to appear in any Acura model, the True Touchpad technology allows drivers to engage more seamlessly with the car’s infotainment system, while also minimizing the potential for distracted driving.

It’s not just the interior of the 2019 RDX, whose previous model was in production from 2013 to 2018, that’s received an upgrade. “The ideal consumer for this vehicle is someone who is looking for cutting-edge technology, yet also appreciates sleek design,” stresses Dauben. “The 2019 RDX is aesthetically pleasing, and is receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from clients.”

As a mid-size luxury SUV, the 2019 RDX meets – and exceeds – the needs of single buyers and families alike, and the team at Mungenast St. Louis Acura is excited about its potential for consumers. On Wednesday, July 18, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., the dealership will host a launch party, complete with live music and entertainment, plus hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. While guests mix and mingle, the artist Vesna Delevska will paint a live portrait of the SUV from start to finish. Attendees will not only be able to test drive the new model or ride along with a salesperson, but will also be eligible to win a grand prize: a choice between a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes or a bespoke J. Hilburn suit, both valued at $1,000.

“It will be an evening of entertainment, without pressure,” assures Dauben. “We just want people to come out and look at the all-new RDX.” Perhaps most importantly, Dauben and Galibert would like to introduce customers to Mungenast St. Louis Acura, the only Acura dealership in the nation to be honored with the brand’s Precision Team Award for 26 years running. “It’s the highest honor a dealership can receive in the areas of customer service and sales performance at a national level,” emphasizes Galibert. “And, we’re a familyowned, family-style dealership.”

VICTOR VELYAN EXCLUSIVE RECEPTION AND AUCTION

T

Photos and story by Diane Anderson he newly renovated Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum at the Missouri Botanical Garden recently opened its doors to host an exhibition of works from jewelry artist Victor Velyan.

Velyan created two unique pieces for the event. Guests enjoyed a cocktail party showing of Velyan’s jewelry, as well as a live auction (led by auctioneer John Hancock) of the exquisite cuff and ring created by Velyan to benefit the Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum.

We are delighted that Neiman Marcus offered to partner with the garden to host an exclusive event to preview the stunning jewelry of Victor Velyan in the newly restored main gallery of the museum. Both the event and the gallery restoration were made possible through the generosity of Greg and Prissy Evans, in honor of their children and grandchildren.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Gateway Chapter

MAN AND WOMAN OF THE YEAR GRAND FINALE CELEBRATION Photos and story by Diane Anderson

T

he Gateway Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society held its grand finale at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. This year, a record-breaking number of candidates signed on to participate — 12 in total — to raise funds to find cures for leukemia and lymphoma. The Man of the Year was Peter Allen, and Woman of the Year was Ashley Weber. The 2018 Girl of the Year was Hana Smajis, and the 2018 Boy of the Year was Auggie Powers. Guy Phillips served as the master of ceremonies, and Kim Tucci served as auctioneer and co-master of ceremonies. The gala raised more than $680,000.

Tonight, as we celebrate the fundraising commitments these 12 people have made, we also have an opportunity to showcase the results of our work. In 2017, the FDA approved 18 therapies to treat blood cancers, and 15 of those were funded by Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

TAKING CLASSIC TO THE NEXT LEVEL

By Robyn Dexter

M

aria Hogrefe and Channing Glover of C&M Interiors were brought on this project to create a gorgeous master bathroom out of a former bedroom in a historic Webster Groves home.

NTNG Construction, a contracting company the interior designers had previously worked with, brought them on the project, seeking their design eyes for a labor-intensive space that had to be reworked for plumbing, electric, and heating, ventilating and air conditioning.

Hogrefe and Glover met with the client to see what he envisioned for the space, since it was going to be, essentially, a blank slate.

“Ultimately, he decided he wanted to keep everything feeling like it would fit in the home while still making sure it felt updated and modernized,” Hogrefe says.

Since the client had “classic and sophisticated taste,” Glover says, they worked with classic black and white, along with warm woods.

“With this space, we’re taking classic to the next level,” she says. “It also feels a bit contemporary with the tub.”

Inspired Designs

By Brittany Nay | Photos by Sarah Conroy and The Storied House

Su z

Fa rre ll

The Storied House creates bold, bespoke fabrics to reflect your family’s story.

S

uzanne Miller Farrell searched the world for the most unique, high-quality fabrics that could tell her story when decorating her historic home in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood. But she became frustrated after continuously finding massproduced textiles of the same colors and patterns.

Tired of the monotony, she decided to design her own solution.

The St. Louis native and former communications consultant used her travels around the globe and her textile design education at Central Saint Martins art school in London to build her own boutique fabric studio: The Storied House.

In April, The Storied House launched with 10 traditional and contemporary collections featuring 150 vivid color and bold pattern combinations, all available for $98 per yard on its website, storiedhouse.co. “I created The Storied House to design a variety of bold, colorful and beautiful fabrics,” Farrell says. “I am inspired by my travels.”

Many of The Storied House’s fabrics are produced in microbatches in North Carolina and made up of a blend of 45 percent combed cotton and 55 percent linen, yielding a soft yet sturdy canvas feel. The material is ideal for home décor projects, from furniture upholstery to curtains and throw pillows, Farrell explains, adding that the company’s microbatch production process allows it to consistently offer unique and fresh fabrics as well as custom designs, resulting in truly authentic décor to reflect each homeowner’s personal story.

A reflection of the company’s name, each collection shares a story: The French Quarter collection is an abstract nod to the ironwork in New Orleans; the Marquis collection is a distortion of the Union Jack honoring the Marquis de Lafayette’s voluntary role in the American Revolution; and the Wild Atlantic linen line, which will debut this summer, pays homage to Farrell’s husband’s and children’s Irish heritage, as well as her own.

Wild Atlantic has brought Farrell’s personal story full circle.

The range of blue-hued designs on soft Irish linen showcases Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way – the world’s longest coastal touring route, known for its fresh, gentle sea breezes. “It is a scenic journey in the west of Ireland that has rugged landscape, buzzing towns and over-the-top beauty and views,” Farrell says, noting that she fell in love with the country when she and her husband lived there for six years. “I love the idea of a journey that Wild Atlantic represents – it’s been a journey [for me] to this new career and company: rugged, beautiful and inspiring, and a journey that has brought me back ‘home’ to Ireland.”

The bespoke fabric, which is milled and printed in the traditional textile haven of County Donegal in northwest

Ireland, boasts four captivating designs, including Skellig, inspired by the Skellig Islands (where Star Wars: The Last Jedi was filmed). “They are two rocky points that come out of the sea,” Farrell says. “This design is angular and contemporary, yet timeless, like the islands themselves.”

The second pattern is influenced by the buzzing bayside Irish market town of Kenmare. “The diamond shapes are reminiscent of the town square, where bartering and trade still occur after hundreds of years,” Farrell says.

A third design, Eileen, is named for Farrell’s mother-in-law.

“She grew up [along the Wild Atlantic Way] on a small island off the Ring of Kerry and is strong, yet very feminine,” Farrell says. “Anyone who had to row a boat to school as a child is strong and courageous in my book.”

The fourth pattern, Grace, pays tribute to the legendary Irish pirate, Queen Grace O’Malley, who led her family’s dynasty and received a formal education – unheard of in the 1500s, Farrell notes. “This pattern has lots of movement with abstract florals,” she says.

Farrell has high hopes for the company, not only to create beautiful textiles that tell a story and reflect yours but also to make a positive philanthropic impact. Its first charitable mission focuses on raising funds for One Moore Book, which publishes and distributes culturally relevant books for children from countries with low literacy rates and underrepresented cultures. “I love the common thread that both of our organizations are sharing stories,” Farrell says.

The Storied House also tackles custom orders and design consultation services for clients who contact Farrell through the company’s website. The textile designer has created special fabrics for families from Dublin, Frontenac, Kirkwood, Ladue and New York, featuring everything from clients’ favorite color schemes to a script of the first initial of their individual last names for indoor and outdoor furniture upholstery, throw pillows, curtains and place mats.

The textile business plans to offer even more ways to accentuate customers’ personal style with home décor, including eye-catching, family- and pet-friendly throw pillows set to be available by late summer, as well as a high-end, statement-making wallpaper in the future.

Farrell believes every home should tell its owner’s story, like her own historic house. “It’s the story of where I came from, who I am and where I want to go,” she says.

PROPERTY

36 W. Brentmoor Park

By Amanda Dahl

Brentmoor Park beauty, the residence at no. 36 gleams resplendently, beckoning you to take a tour. Textural design elements are found throughout this singularly stylish home, which marries art and function. The entryway draws oohs and aahs, with a marble wallpaper backsplash and high-contrast stairs. Nothing quite tops the country chic style of the gourmet chef’s kitchen, with brick and stone accents, and vintage barn wood flooring…That is, until you reach the master wing. The floor-to-ceiling, stone see-through fireplace stands center, dividing the open concept bath and bed. Yet, more aesthetic pleasures abound. Continue your exploration with the state-of-the-art fitness center and theater space. Move on to the pool and spa, where a cabana entices you to stay and relax. A two-bedroom apartment and additional au pair quarters prove a wonderful plus. At the end of your tour, this residence will have you ready to pack your bags and move in.

THIS 5-BEDROOM, 10 FULL-BATHROOM AND 2 HALF-BATHROOM HOME IN CLAYTON IS LISTED FOR $5.995 MILLION.

Mia was only 2 months old when she was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia disease (SCD).

These irregularly shaped cells can get stuck in small blood vessels, which can slow or block blood flow and oxygen to parts of the body.

From age 6 months through May of 2016, she needed frequent blood transfusions.

Mia had many trips to the hospital due to “Crisis” or “Pain Crisis.” Crises for Mia were instances when her body temperature rose over 100.1 degrees and she experienced co-existing pain in her legs, feet, hands and/or arms. She experienced pneumonia during one episode as well.

As a result, her caregivers at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital recommended a bone marrow transplant. Mia’s health has turned around since allowing her a more normal kid’s life. Mia is so thankful for her caregivers in The Costas Center and the bone marrow donor that allowed her another chance at life.

AGENT PROFILE

Alex Fairbanks OF DIELMANN SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

By Amanda Dahl ‌For Alex Fairbanks, who admired his family as they bought and sold properties throughout his youth, the housing industry held a promising future. “I saw real estate as an avenue that I wanted to pursue from a young age,” he says. “I jumped at the first opportunity [to join], halfway through obtaining my marketing degree at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.”

The young man continues to feel confident in his decision, even as he encounters tougher aspects of the industry. “Most challenges come from a lack of communication,” Fairbanks believes. “I rise to meet that challenge by maintaining a constant line of communication with all parties, so that if issues arise on the horizon, we can address them accordingly.”

Fairbanks shadowed leading real estate agents at Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, learning much from their expertise and guidance. He recognizes his colleagues at the agency are, in great part, the reason for his success. “It takes a team to make the client’s goal a reality,” he states. “There are many tasks, items and professionals involved throughout the process that ensure the purchase or sale of a home is

done promptly and correctly.”

According to Fairbanks, the real estate industry rests on a foundation of trust, which is constructed through due diligence. “The best piece of advice I can give in business is that real estate is a relationship [disguised] as a transaction,” describes Fairbanks. “For me, the most rewarding part happens a few weeks after closing, when I visit the home to see the client and their family settling in. I know [in that moment] I have been an influential part of their life story.”

FEATURED LISTING 5700 MONTEBELLO ROAD This 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom home is listed in Imperial.

As the double gates open to the residence dubbed the “Castle of Montebello,” you will feel a great release from the day’s troubles at the sight of this fortress of luxury. Resting on the hills above the Meramec and Mississippi rivers, the stone estate, built by a Magic Chef heir, shows no expenses were spared.

Contact Alex Fairbanks by phone at 618-444-1119 (direct) or 314-725-0009 (office); by e-mail at alex.fairbanks@sothebysrealty.com; or online at sothebysrealty.com.

Summer

Subtle in ‌T

By Alecia Humphreys

he blazing summer sun doesn’t always play nice with a full face of makeup. So instead of melting away, go subtle this summer! Here is a simple, natural-looking routine sure to make you question why contouring and full coverage weren’t kicked to the curb long ago.

ln

1. Apply a light layer of Marc Jacobs’ Shameless Youthful Look 24-H Foundation. This mediumcoverage foundation blends seamlessly without settling. Most importantly, this foundation rocks a broad spectrum SPF 25 without wavering in seamless texture or appearance – that’s a foundation worth building on. Available for $46. (marcjacobs.com) 2. Ensure your eye makeup can take the heat by applying a dab of Marc Jacobs’ Under(cover) Eye Perfecting Coconut Eye Primer. Created with coconut and velvet flower extracts, this primer will deliver a flawless canvas for eyeshadow application. Better yet, silica spheres and bark extract help absorb oils, which deters creasing.

That way, the only creasing on your mind will be how to increase summer fun! Available for $26. (marcjacobs.com) 3. Create a luxurious and lasting look on your lids with the sensual-nudes and shimmering-pops of color within this Marc Jacobs Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette. Featuring seven shades in four finishes, this limited-edition palette has enough colors to create an array of subtle styles for every occasion.

Available for $49. (marcjacobs.com) 4. Feed your lashes with LashFood’s Conditioning Collagen Lash Primer, before applying your go-to mascara. This ultra-rich primer contains lash extending and thickening microfibers that help stretch and sculpt each lash – because who can resist getting longer lashes and looking flawless?

Available for $20. (www.sephora.com)

Gentry’s

Limited – UnLimi imited

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos supplied

A new area made-to-measure menswear concern puts the dash in haberdashery haberdashery.

F

ashions come and go, as capricious as the metro area’s weather, but style, bona fide style, eschews mere trendiness, as an introduction to Gentry’s Limited, Dakota G. Grady’s new haberdashery, strongly suggests.

Grady’s bespoke menswear venture, which opened on May 8, occupies a prime location, in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood; there, his reputation as a madeto-measure maestro already has attracted enough interest that a June 21 drinks-andappetizers open house garnered three times as many RSVPs as expected.

A strikingly youthful latter-day gentleman per se who customarily looks as if he just stepped from the pages of the latest Esquire or GQ, Grady sketches the credentials in haberdashery that may have prompted that response.

“I’ve been designing menswear for more than three years, and it’s become a passion and not just a job,” he says. “I had an opportunity to move to New York and work for a bench tailor out there and have had some alternative choices in St. Louis seek me out, so I feel like I must be doing something right.”

That said, Grady relates that his own interest in quality menswear long predates not only the establishment of Gentry’s Limited but also his sartorial apprenticeship.

“Even when I was much younger, I always wanted to look good and present myself well,” he says. “I started working when I was 16 years old, and I noticed that those I looked up to had a tendency to treat me differently when I presented myself professionally.

“Job opportunities, social interactions and my personal confidence changed when I put an effort into my appearance. I used to have difficulty finding off-the-rack clothes that fit me properly and made me feel confident, and I began to realize that your wardrobe is an investment in your future.”

That realization ultimately led to the establishment of his haberdashery.

“I founded Gentry’s Limited because there’s a massive need that isn’t being met in St. Louis for quality, fashion-forward menswear,” Grady says. “We needed someone who cared more for the clients than anything else, so I decided that if I didn’t do it, who would?”

He also sketches the services available to clients at his made-to-measure emporium.

“Gentry’s Limited provides unique and higher-quality custom clothing options for the discerning male,” Grady says. “We are working with exclusive worldwide tailors for each commissioned garment and have fabrics that are only found at our shop. From custom casualwear to business to formal, Gentry’s Limited works closely with each client to develop a wardrobe around [his] unique lifestyle and needs.”

Grady likewise emphasizes the sheer artistry and distingué nature of services offered by Gentry’s Limited, as opposed to other area menswear enterprises.

“Gentry’s Limited seeks to put the client first, listening closely and crafting carefully with the intention of making unique luxury garments that don’t just fit perfectly but communicate the wearer’s individual brand to the world,” he says. “Having a private showroom in the Central West End enables me to block out quality time for each client, giving them my full attention. Plus, if they can’t make it out to the shop, I go to clients’ homes and offices.

“Due to the massive amount of detail and time [that] goes into designing and choosing each garment, we offer appointments as long as the client needs to arrive at a decision. We also give them peace of mind if they choose to trust our expertise, making appointments anywhere from 10 minutes to four hours of wardrobe crafting.”

Later this year, Gentry’s Limited clients might want to brace themselves for something of a blast from the past, with a potential resurgence of quality male apparel inspired by Britain’s famous – or, depending on one’s perspective, infamous – Carnaby Street. “Fashion is a constant cycle, and we’re currently in the ’60s-’70s phase again,” Grady says. “This fall, we’ll be seeing vests added to a standard two-piece, bold colors and the revitalization of the ‘bold stripe.’”

Reflecting on specific male apparel, Grady discusses pieces at both the micro and macro levels, starting with a favorite out-on-the-town piece of apparel from his own closet. “My go-to is a cognac tasseled loafer,” he says. “While you can wear them with socks, I prefer choosing ‘no-show’ socks for a summer feel. I wear them with jeans, dress pants and even shorts, taking every outfit to a sophisticated level.”

From a broader perspective, he continues: “I’m in love with [multigenerational luxury Spanish cobbler] Magnanni when it comes to shoes. They’re able to take a classic look and modernize it for the men of today.

The quality, styles and wearability are quite something.

“Other than that, I don’t imitate many well-known designers, but look for individual pieces and styles to build my personal look. A tip I would give any man from St. Louis is this: Find a lifestyle model that has a look you want and then build from that. [British model] David Gandy and [American actor] Jeff Goldblum are just two of the many that I follow closely for inspiration and ideas.”

Otherwise, Grady dwells a bit on the philosophy of his field of expertise. “Menswear plays it very safe in comparison to the choices available for women,” he says. “Men don’t need to be afraid to explore accessories, color and prints and embrace their personalities in their wardrobes.”

Finally – and amusingly – he addresses the topic of menswear “rules,” the sartorial shibboleths that too often mislead males in garbing themselves.

“The idea that you cannot wear certain colors depending on the season is complete garbage,” Grady says. “Also, who said you can’t wear the same pattern multiple times in the same outfit? What is this about not wearing brown with gray?

“Please – I can go on and on … ! When it comes to fashion, there are only guidelines, not rules.”

A

fter you’ve said “yes!” and bragged to all you hold dear, it’s time to get down to planning the big day. And while the process can seem daunting at times, Butler’s Pantry is here to assure you that you’ve got a friend to guide you.

“It’s that overall, elevated experience that we want to give our clients and their guests,” says Maggie Barton, chief development officer. “We can be a onestop-shop for clients.”

Social media, Barton notes, has revolutionized the wedding industry, with endless inspiration and more ways to share event experiences.

“Everyone wants something that hasn’t been done before,” claims Barton. “They want guests to be wowed and to share their experience on social media.

We take pleasure in working with clients to figure out how to customize and personalize their event.”

Butler’s Pantry seeks to become more than just a vendor. “We prefer the term ‘friendor,’ because who do you turn to when planning your most important occasions? Your friends and family,” explains Barton.

“We dig deep to figure out what is most important, so we can deliver on that experience.”

Those key questions focus on moments of meaning and happiness, zeroing in on favorite restaurants or what the couple likes to do together, such as cooking

at home. Whether it is crafting custom cocktails or a Champagne display, Butler’s Pantry latches onto the details that stand out and most reflect each couple’s unique connection.

“The venue plays a big part,” describes Barton. “If the couple likes the formal opulence of, say, The Coronado, we might look at a multicourse, seated dinner. If they like the modern, somewhat raw and industrial feel of, say, Joule, that tells us the couple may be open to a station-style cocktail reception. The venue amplifies the couple’s personality and everything else trickles down from that.”

This discussion often drives the venue selection,

JULY 13, 2018 | LadueNews.com | A LAdUe news speciAL promotion

based on what proves the most pivotal component for each couple. If state-of-the-art technology is a necessity, Barton suggests that Palladium Saint Louis might do. If the clients met at Saint Louis University, The Coronado may prove a perfect locale, as it is located near campus.

“We can be as little or as much assistance as a client needs,” says Barton. “We are the caterer, but we can also help with venue selections and overall event design.

We have been in business for more than 50 years. We have adapted and become a ‘friendor’ for all generations.”

From treasured partnerships with outside vendors to its own furniture rental and equipment department, Butler’s Pantry has everything you need to make your event memorable for generations to come.

TO HAVE

TO HOLD

Crystal andCharles

By Amanda Dahl

On April 14, Charles D’Angelo married Crystal Prag, uniting family and friends from near and far to celebrate their union. “Seconds after being pronounced husband and wife, we paused for a kiss as we walked down the aisle,” says Crystal. “That first moment of officially being married and surrounded by loved ones is one that we’ll cherish forever.” Gratitude, joy and love were infused into every moment, from the bride’s brother walking her down the aisle and the heart-shaped napkins to the couple’s unity time capsule and bridesmaids’ surprise line dance.

The couple’s sendoff included a surprise for their guests: a captivating fireworks display. This summer, the newlyweds soar off to the lush paradise of Fiji for their honeymoon.

Both fans of Harry Potter, the bride and groom tied in elements of the beloved series, with long reception tables evoking the Grand Hall of Hogwarts, complete with floating lights overhead and the movie’s overture playing during their entrance.

Charles and Crystal wowed guests when they performed their first dance to “Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing, culminating with the iconic lift. The couple also delighted guests when they later performed a duet, with Charles on piano.

Charles and Crystal released doves on the steps of the Jewel Box. “What better way to begin life as a newly married couple than by sending some love into the air in the way it all began?” says Crystal.

Pretty peonies, pale pink roses, white daisies and the occasional thistle flower masterfully combine to create a whimsical effect in these hand-tied bridal party bouquets by Belli Fiori.

This custom edible masterpiece from Kaked by Katie highlights the couple’s journey from the airport to the altar, and California to St. Louis.

Love is in the air!

The vibe was set when guests first received their invitations, which allude to how the couple met - at an airport.

Summer Rolls with Thai Nam Chim

Story and recipe by Amanda Elliott | Photo by Drew Piester

O

n a trip to Vietnam years ago, I fell in love with summer rolls, which pack a bounty of flavor in every bite. The rolls go by different names, from salad rolls to spring rolls to the Japanese interpretation, raw spring rolls. They’re typically served at room temperature – never fried – with a dipping sauce.

I’ve given standard spring rolls a twist by using buckwheat soba in place of traditional rice noodles and by adding cashews for extra crunch. Paired with a spicy, zesty nam chim (Thai for “dipping sauce”), these summer rolls are perfect for picnics and backyard barbecues.

ln

‌SUMMER ROLLS WITH THAI NAM CHIM Serves | 10 |

Thai Nam Chim ½ cup fish sauce ½ cup fresh lime juice ½ cup superfine sugar

1 Tbsp sambal oelek 5 cloves garlic, minced

Summer Rolls 10 8-inch round rice-paper wrappers 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced 1 carrot, peeled, halved and thinly sliced 1 beet, peeled and grated 1 cucumber, peeled, deseeded, halved and thinly sliced 1 avocado, halved and thinly sliced

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves 1 cup fresh mint leaves 8 oz buckwheat soba, cooked ½ cup salted cashews, chopped 1 Tbsp black sesame seeds

| Preparation – Thai Nam Chim Sauce | In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together until sugar has dissolved. Serve at room temperature. Set aside. | Preparation – Summer Rolls | Fill a large baking dish with warm water; dip a rice-paper wrapper into water, and completely submerge for 30 seconds. Remove wrapper on a clean, flat surface, and stack a few slices each of bell pepper, carrot, beet, cucumber, avocado, cilantro, Thai basil and mint on the bottom third of the wrapper. Top with a small handful of cooked soba and a sprinkle of nuts and black sesame seeds.

Fold bottom of wrapper over filling ingredients, and roll over to form a cylinder. Fold in both sides of the cylinder tightly to seal roll. Continue folding over until it resembles a burrito. Repeat until all ricepaper wrappers and filling ingredients have been used. Cut rolls in halves or thirds, and serve with dipping sauce. Cover with a damp paper towel if not serving immediately.

Hyken’s HOMEWORK Facing Learning Issues ‌I n summer, most youngsters scarcely want to think about school – but for some, the season presents an important opportunity to solve or start solving educational problems.

If your child experienced a difficult academic year and frequently complained about homework, struggled to complete tests in a timely manner or just outright hated school, summer makes an excellent time for improvement. Consider consulting an educational professional – a psychologist, say, or a learning specialist – to determine if your child learns differently from other children or suffers from an attention deficit.

A learning disability constitutes a specific problem that affects how a person processes, understands and uses information. Everyone has learning strengths and weaknesses, but people with disabilities in learning may suffer from complex neurological issues that persist throughout their lives. Adding to the challenge of this issue, educational difficulties can surface at any age and in manifold ways.

During the preschool years, language complications such as acquisition difficulties or pronunciation problems can signify a learning issue. Some young students also may struggle with coordination and finger

use. If any area of your child’s development feels delayed, again, consult an educational professional to determine the necessity of an early intervention.

As children enter the elementary years, subject-area concerns often grow more prominent. Students with learning disabilities may master specific skills yet have difficulty grasping certain concepts. Frequent reading errors, constant misspellings or atypical troubles with basic math can indicate learning issues. In addition, some children may experience social struggles and communication problems, which can further affect knowledge acquisition.

For a small group of students, learning difficulties may go unnoticed until middle or high school. For them, classes become more challenging as they engage in higher-order thinking tasks such as comparing concepts, linking previously taught ideas to new material and understanding complex relationships. Many also struggle to hold complex information in short-term memory and execute multistep tasks.

With older students, admittedly, it also can be tough at times to sort typical teen distractions from true learning issues. Some teens struggle with classroom attention and avoid homework because they just lack the

motivation to learn algebra or read Shakespeare. Others, unfortunately, invest extraordinary effort but still experience low grades. Therefore, to provide parental assistance, review your child’s homework and look for unusual sequencing, overly sloppy work or excessively long completion times. Also, check on your child’s emotional state; school anxiety or a confidence crisis often can result from an undetected learning issue.

It can upset parents to consider that their child may learn differently. If you suspect your own child has a learning issue, parents, have him or her assessed by an experienced professional. Don’t adopt a wait-and-see approach; consider a summer evaluation to best prepare your child for the upcoming school year.

Despite the carefree nature of the season, in matters as imperative as potential learning issues, there really is no time like the present.

good fight on mini-tours. Since turning pro in 2008, he’s spent time on the Hooters Tour while competing occasionally on the Adams Tour and the Minor League Golf Tour.

In 2012, in the eGolf Tour’s Oldfield Open, Naegel claimed his first professional victory. He earned another win at the Adams Tour’s Buffalo Run Casino Classic in 2015. Naegel currently ranks 1,081st on the World Ranking, having previously marked a personal “best” at 965th.

Pranger in Open Sectional

Andrew Pranger’s dream of playing the U.S. Open didn’t last long, but it at least provided him with a memory.

Pranger, an area financial advisor, recently won the Old Warson Cup as part of the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association. He was an alternate from local qualifying. Having never made it into sectional qualifying, he decided to drive six hours with his father to Brookside Golf & Country Club/Lakes Golf & Country Club in Columbus, Ohio.

“We got in last night, and I got to the course at 5:50,” Pranger relates. “And then they came over and told me I was in.” Pranger replaced Kyoung Heen Lee in the last group playing with Priyanshu Singh. The other member of their group was more familiar: Adam Scott, a Masters champion and former world No. 1.

Pranger’s hopes of getting to Shinnecock vanished early with an 81, but the left-hander signed his card while smiling. “My first time into sectionals, and I played with Adam Scott,” he says.

“He was so professional in everything he did.”

Port Steps Down as Coach

Women’s amateur standout Ellen Port decided

JULY 13, 2018 | LadueNews.com

recently to relinquish her coaching job at Washington University in St. Louis.

Port, the women’s golf coach, resigned after leading the Bears for the past three seasons, according to Anthony J. Azama, the university’s director of athletics.

“It was an unexpected pleasure to have the opportunity to be a part of the Washington University athletic program at such a late stage in my coaching career,” says Port, who previously coached for 32 years at Ladue’s John Burroughs School. “I treasure the relationships I have formed with all my players, parents and colleagues, as well as many others involved with Division III golf across the country. I consider myself extremely blessed. I stepped into an already successful golf program and hope I kept the ball rolling in the right direction.”

Port led the Bears to top-15 Golfstat finishes in each of her three seasons on the Danforth Campus.

The Bears capped off the 2017-18 season with a top 10 finish and earned the first trip to nationals under Port. The university placed in the top 10 at the NCAA Championship for the fifth time in school history.

Port also mentored two-time All-America selection Samantha Haubenstock and had seven studentathletes earn 10 All-Region citations.

Before joining the university, Port taught physical education at John Burroughs. During her tenure there, Port coached a number of sports, including boys’ and girls’ golf, which collected a combined three state championships and three runner-up finishes under her leadership.

Port says she plans to play more competitive golf this summer, as one of the most accomplished women amateur golfers in history. More specifically, she won the 2016 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur, her seventh United States Golf Association title; she also has won the U.S. Women’s Senior Amateur in 2012 and 2013, as well as the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur in 1995, 1996, 2000 and 2011.

n one of the season’s biggest stories so far, Wildwood’s Chris Naegel earned a spot in the 118th U.S. Open Championship that took place June 11 to 17 at the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in South Hampton, New York.

Naegel always thought he’d play in a major golf championship, but he never thought doing so would take this long. The graduate of Chesterfield’s Marquette High School and Creve Coeur’s Missouri Baptist University earned his berth by winning a playoff for the final spot in the U.S. Open sectional qualifying tournament in Richmond, Texas, at the Shadow Hawk Golf Club. Naegel nabbed one of only three spots available.

He did well in the U.S. Open, tying with four other golfers for 56th place. He finished 17-over with a 297 and shot 73 in his first two rounds, followed by a 75 and a 76.

Chesterfield-based the PlaCe lets your PriCeless ride reside in the laP of luxury.

F

or the auto enthusiast, your vehicle is your baby – and a hot, cluttered garage is no space to store something so precious. Luckily, The Place has your car covered.

Located in the Chesterfield Valley near the Spirit of St. Louis Airport, The Place is a luxurious and spacious 54,000-square-foot establishment offering private, customizable storage suites for all types of vehicles, from classic cars and muscle machines to pleasure boats and RVs. Co-owners – and car-lovers – Randy Wild and Steve Stodnick, former co-owners of Chesterfield-based fire- and waterrestoration business Paragon Certified Restoration, opened The Place in August 2016. The idea was sparked by the pair’s passion for everything on wheels. “We both had a few ‘toys,’ and we didn’t have room for them [at our home garages],” Wild says. So, the duo decided to create a high-end home away from home for their – Steve Stodnick (left) and Randy Wild and other auto fans’ – dream machines.

The Place’s private, customizable condominiums are sold, rather than rented, starting around $100 per square foot or about $90,000 for an 800-square-foot unit, which is roughly the size of a four-car garage. More than 20 of The Place’s 34 condos have been sold, and about a dozen units of various sizes are currently available for purchase, including 800-, 1,400- and 2,400-square-foot storage suites. “A lot of people would like to have a four-car garage, but they don’t have the space because of neighbors or a municipal

code does not allow it, so [The Place] solves that problem,” Wild says.

The suites’ standard features include a 14-foot-high, 12-foot-wide garage door – large enough for vehicles across the size spectrum, even class-A RVs. The units also offer 20-foot ceilings, electrical outlets and Wi-Fi, while some have windows facing the airport. “Each garage is customizable to whatever the client wants,” Wild says. “You can add a mezzanine [level], or some people put in car lifts, and one guy has a workshop.”

Clients can buy multiple units to combine to make their space as large as they want, he adds. “Many clients were storing multiple vehicles in different locations, so this consolidates all of them in one place,” Wild says.

The Place’s secure, deluxe property makes it much more than your average home garage, Wild continues. The building is a high-quality, concrete, tilt-wall construction, and the security system includes a keypad security-entry gate, security camera and security lighting at the property’s entrance, as well as a keyed-entry steel garage door to each condo.

Clients of The Place also can take advantage of its country-clublike atmosphere, complete with a 24-hour owners’ lounge featuring a bar, TVs, pool tables, shuffleboard and pinball, all provided by Amini’s furniture galleria in Chesterfield.

“A lot of people spend their weekends here, cleaning, tinkering and driving their vehicles,” Wild says, adding that the property also has a vehicle wash area.

And since the auto adorers share a common bond, there is a sense of camaraderie at The Place. “Everyone gets along, talks, borrows tools, cooks food,” Wild says.

“It’s a nice gathering place.”

The Place also holds monthly events, such as Cars and Coffee, where owners get together to enjoy drinks and show off their beloved machines. “Clients store everything from campers to rare cars, and we even have [cars from] a race team housed here,” Wild says.

Interested clients can view details about the selection of available condos at theplaceinchesterfield.com.

In addition to purchasing a suite, each owner pays a monthly condo fee for amenities, such as the lounge, mowing and snow removal, as well as their own utilities.

Next, The Place is driving toward expansion: After opening with 34 units in 2016, it plans to add 38 more condos once the final dozen suites of the first phase are sold, Wild says.

When auto-lovers’ passion outgrows their home garage, the upscale extra space at The Place gives them peace of mind when they’re away from their cherished vehicles – and a place to go play with their treasured toys, Wild notes. “Clients are happy to get their garages at home back,” he says, “[and] extend their hobby to The Place.”

around 50 seats in the dining area and another 20 on the patio. The interior features a design scheme that echoes its East-meets-West mentality. Xu says the aesthetic blends old-time Shanghai with Europeanstyle antiquities and accents.

“I had a concept to mix Asian and American ingredients together in a unique way, with steamed buns as the vessel,” Xu says. “Our bao recipe is Thaistyle – not Chinese or Vietnamese.”

York says her bao gets its characteristic light, fluffy texture from flour imported from Thailand. Guests can have bao filled with a variety of savory ingredients: The lobster roll bao, for instance, comes served Mainestyle, with lobster poached in brown butter, topped with mayo. A wagyu bao features havarti, arugula,

truffle mayo and a sunny side up egg.

For a quick and casual breakfast, guests can choose from items including Taiwanese crullers, grilled cheese, beignet bao dusted with matcha, or avocado toast with toasted bao, avocado, a quail egg, spring greens, pecans, lemon and olive oil.

Bowls, soups and salads also draw from a variety of Asian influences. Guests can choose from dishes such as York’s signature wagyu massaman or chicken katsu with panko chicken, curry, cabbage and pickled ginger. Snacks include bacon-fat-fried Korean street corn with mozzarella, lardon and scallions; “Sesame Mofu” with soft tofu from St. Louis’ own MOFU, sesame dressing, scallion and katsuobushi; and laab wings with lemongrass, kafir lime leaves, Thai chili

From the bar, guests can find an equally diverse beverage list. They can choose from coffee, Chicagobased Spirit Tea, soy milk, soft drinks, wine, beer and cocktails like the You Look Like I Need a Drink, which features aloe liqueur, spring citrus, Topo Chico sparkling mineral water and mint. Dessert options include ice cream bao made with fried dough; available flavors include green tea, black sesame and mango sticky rice. Whether you’re ready to enjoy dinner or simply a cocktail, make sure to do so before catching Jersey Boys at The Muny.

“Most people have only seen bao in the form of a steamed pork bun,” Bauer says. “We’re super excited to share how versatile it can be – and not only that, but how simple yet intense the flavors are that Nisa’s able to pull off.”

The Bao, 14 N. Central, Clayton, 314-899-9089, thebaostl.com

‌Story: New Jersey sits in the shadow of New York City across the Hudson River. Cities such as Newark can be tough places to grow up, especially for workingclass Italian kids in the 1940s and ’50s. Tommy DeVito, a garden-variety hood, also happens to be a pretty good musician. When he isn’t in trouble, he’s putting together groups that he hopes can hit the big time on the pop charts.

He takes a liking to a kid named Frankie Castellucio, who becomes the lead singer for DeVito’s group, which performs under a laundry list of different names. When DeVito observes that trios such as his troupe, which also includes bass guitar player Nick Massi, are losing ground to quartets, he auditions musicians to join his band.

DeVito’s friend Joe Pesci introduces him to a kid named Bob Gaudio, a songwriter who’s had a national hit called “(Who Wears) Short Shorts” in the late ’50s with a group called The Royal Teens. DeVito bristles at Gaudio’s business savvy but buckles to pressure from Castellucio (now going by the surname Valli) and Massi to hire the talented kid.

Limping along as a studio-session backup group, they finally hit the big time with the guidance of music producer Bob Crewe. Gaudio pens back-to-back-to-back hit songs (“the trifecta,” he says) called “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man” in 1962, and The Four Seasons (a name they took from a bowling alley marquee) are on their way to stardom.

They’re making a lot of money, but DeVito is spending it even faster as a compulsive gambler. Valli, who entered a business agreement earlier with Gaudio via handshake for work done outside the quartet, makes a promise to gangland leader Gyp DeCarlo to pay back every penny, which has put DeVito in very hot water.

While the guys struggle with their own personal problems and battle the blues that accompany long road engagements, The Four Seasons in public keep turning out hits for the audiences whose eyes adore them, culminating in enshrinement in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. At that event, the original four members performed together for the first time in more than 20 years since their heyday.

Highlights: The Muny showcases its best and brightest presentation yet in its centennial season with the world regional premiere of Jersey Boys. This first licensed production of Jersey Boys in the world is everything one could hope to see carrying the banner for the Tony Award-winning Best Musical of 2006, which ran for 4,642 performances before closing in 2017.

Other Info: Mark Ballas, the last performer to portray Valli in the long-running Broadway show, reprises that role in The Muny’s engaging production, which is invigorating and pulsing with vibrancy throughout its two acts and 2½ hours under the insightful direction of Josh Rhodes.

By Mark Bretz

Not only does Rhodes maintain a steady and seamless pace in the presentation, but also he contributes the smart choreography, stylish moves to the infectious music written by Gaudio, and the catchy lyrics contributed by Crewe. Under Rick Bertone’s lively music direction, The Muny’s orchestra makes these Four Seasons’ hits sound as fresh as they were spinning on ’60s platters.

Ballas made his Broadway debut as Valli, and while he can’t strike the high notes as consistently as Valli’s legendary falsetto, he hits his stride during the performance, which is highlighted by his polished dance moves and effective acting portrayal of the bluecollar singer.

Bobby Conte Thornton personifies the easy-going Gaudio, whose songwriting abilities and talent at the keyboards propelled The Four Seasons to stardom.

Nicolas Dromard, who plays DeVito, and Keith Hines, as Massi, also are Jersey Boys alumni – the former in the off-Broadway version of the show and the latter in the national tour, which included stops at The Fabulous Fox Theatre. Both give winning performances, with Dromard accentuating Tommy’s crude and bullying ways, while Hines enjoys showcasing the dry humor of the slow-witted Massi, the self-described “Ringo” of the quartet .

Nicholas Rodriguez is a delightful Crewe, the flamboyant producer and avid astrologist who saw that the stars were “aligned” for Valli and Gaudio and their group, and guided them to stardom.

People of a certain age will recall when “Dawn (Go Away),” “Rag Doll” and so forth were fresh hits on the charts, while the younger set can see history in action in The Muny’s glorious version of Jersey Boys.

ince 1965, St. Louis’ Gateway Arch has stood strong as the 630-foot monument to westward expansion. In those 50-plus years, millions of people have flocked to the iconic landmark annually to admire its sleek design, enjoy the museum below and peruse the community around it.

Unfortunately, the Arch’s initial design had Interstate 64/40 running just outside of its bounds, making walking from St. Louis’ downtown straight onto the Arch grounds nearly impossible. Seeking to instate Arch designer Eero Saarinen’s original vision of making the Arch accessible from downtown, the National Park Service created a new general management plan for the Arch grounds in 2009. From there, CityArchRiver Project partners broke ground in 2013 on a new plan to reimagine, connect, enhance and transform the Arch.

In the time since, members of the Gateway Arch Park Foundation and partner organizations have been working tirelessly to reveal the new and improved Arch to the world – which they did on July 3. The $380 luther Ely Smith southeast entry, before (above) and after (below). million project was funded by $221 million of private donations and $90 million of sales tax revenue from the passage of Proposition P in 2013. The revamp includes a reimagined museum that adds decades to its predecessor, an expanded visitor center and revitalized park grounds that include more than 5 miles of pathways – including a green space that directly connects the Arch grounds to downtown.

Executive director Eric Moraczewski and communications director Samantha Fisher took LN on a tour through the upgrades and pointed out the difference the revamp will make in how both St. Louisans and out-oftowners view the bow-shaped landmark.

The front desk – one of the first things visitors see when they come through the new west entrance – will be staffed by members of both the National Park Service and Explore St. Louis. Moraczewski says this will allow visitors to get recommendations of what to do in the surrounding area.

“The park service is going to do an amazing job of telling you what’s here on these grounds, but we’ll also have someone to guide you through the rest of the community, too,” Moraczewski says.

On entering the underground facilities, visitors will find a gigantic terrazzo floor map that displays all the trails the pioneers took on their journey west, with St. Louis highlighted in yellow.

“It’s the first glimpse of establishing why this museum is here in St. Louis and the important role our city played in the exploration of the western part of our country and the settlement of it, too,” Fisher says. “We lay out not just Lewis and Clark but also the impactful role we had on the California exploration, the Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail and the Santa Fe Trail.”

The new museum, which has been in the works since 2010, has more than 100 years of additional history and 46,000 additional square

feet. The new exhibits incorporate universal design, which is accessible for people of all abilities. During the museum’s creation, there was also an effort to showcase different perspectives of the people of the time – like those of the Native Americans, Mexicans, women, AfricanAmericans – which are scattered throughout the exhibits.

“That’s something the park service is very intentional about and has highlighted throughout all of the galleries in the museum,” Fisher says.

Unlike the original museum setup, which was off to the side of the tram entrance, the new layout has visitors walk through the center part of the museum to get to the trams, encouraging guests to peruse along the way. Soundscapes and touch screens help bring the museum’s spaces to life and make for a more interactive, dynamic experience.

“A large majority of people were just coming in and going to the trams,” Moraczewski says. “Now, you’re noticing it right away, and something will catch your eye.”

The museum is set up chronologically, beginning with establishing colonial St. Louis in the late 1700s. Key features of the first section include an animated fly-through of what the village of St. Louis would’ve looked like in 1797.

“Our park historian wrote a 40-page essay that detailed everything down to the doorknob of what the village was like,” Fisher says. “Our animation studio built this beautiful film for people to see. It’s neat to see what village life would’ve looked like, especially for St. Louisans.”

That section of the museum also contains an example of the kind of home that would’ve been built in French colonial St. Louis: a vertical log cabin. The National Park Service preservation team built the museum’s cabin on-site using mostly traditional tools, which added an authentic touch.

Another featured structure is the Old Rock House: built in 1818, torn down in 1959 and resurrected from the basement of the Old Courthouse for the new museum.

“The park service preserved the stones and the frames in the basement of the Old Courthouse, so the historic preservation team came out and rebuilt this on-site,” Moraczewski says. “When you walk in, you walk through a piece of history.”

Within its 100-year addition is a section on the actual building of the Arch – something that wasn’t touched on in the old museum aside from the film shown to tram riders. The exhibit showcases the five designs that were part of the monument competition and demonstrates Saarinen’s innovative model in comparison to the other finalists’ offerings.

“There was no competition,” Fisher says with a laugh. “He won unanimously.”

Now that the project has been completed and the Gateway Arch National Park is fully open to the public, Fisher says the organization’s focus is on stewardship.

“In addition to continuing to provide additional funds for the support [the National Park Service] will need to maintain the park, we’re also working really hard to engage the people of St. Louis to come and experience the park with event series all year long,” Fisher says. “We want to get people down here. We have a national park in our backyard, and we want our city to take part in it. The Arch is for everyone.”

Ready Readers

A Heart for Art

T

his summer, parents, take the opportunity to let your child explore our community through stories and art in different ways – like at Step Into a Story, a weekly story time and hands-on art experience at the Missouri History Museum in St. Louis’ Forest Park.

Next Wednesday, July 18, that program features an utterly marvelous children’s book, Maybe Something Beautiful: How Art Transformed a Neighborhood by F. Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell with illustrator Rafael López. Based on a true story, Campoy and Howell’s tale centers on one small girl’s belief in the power of art to evoke change in ways both subtle and substantial.

Mira sees beauty and possibilities all around her. A prolific artist of doodles, drawings and paintings, she creates small masterpieces. Believing that when color fills her room, joy fills her heart, Mira brightens her neighborhood (and neighbors’ moods) by taping her paintings on buildings “in the heart of a gray city.”

One day, she sees an interesting man “with a pocket full of paintbrushes” peering thoughtfully at Mira’s rainbow painting taped to a cold gray building façade.

By Sheila Oliveri

“What do you see?” Mira asks.

“Maybe … something beautiful,” the man replies.

He introduces himself as a muralist – an artist who paints on walls. Learning that Mira, too, is an artist, he and she immediately begin lighting up their bleak surroundings, painting with abandon.

The artistic enthusiasm proves infectious – and soon children, parents, musicians and other community helpers join them, infusing the environment with vibrancy and delight.

A second children’s book that embraces art as a transformational tool has its roots in the St. Louis metro area. Carol Swartout Klein’s Painting for Peace in Ferguson

begins with a broad concept that even young children should understand: “In the small town of Ferguson in 2014, some people did things that were meaner than mean. Some people were mad, some people were sad.

But everyone, everywhere felt pretty bad.”

Klein’s book chronicles how people of different ages, races and abilities worked together to turn stark, boarded-up doors and windows into outdoor art displays. The photos in Painting for Peace showcase more than 250 original pieces of art created in response to the civil unrest.

Klein’s book highlights the beauty, hope and cooperation that grew from the unimaginable seeds of despair, anger and separation. Also available, a companion coloring book suitable for all ages provides an opportunity for family creativity and discussion.
