from the

EDITOR WHEN THINKING ABOUT WARMER WEATHER, IT’S EASY TO dream of swimming, weekend getaways and family barbecues. I look forward to all of these activities, too, but one of my favorite summer pastimes is growing fresh veggies in my backyard. Although we typically go for annuals in my household – tomatoes, zucchini, etc. – the possibilities are endless! And Matt Lebon, founder of Custom Foodscaping, is eager to show area residents said possibilities. Starting on p. 28, LN contributing writer Drew Gieseke shares Lebon’s inspiration for starting the business, which works with homeowners, schools and community centers alike to create what Lebon calls “food-producing landscapes.” He assists clients with consultation, design, installation and even coaching during the growing season. Whether you’re going to give your green thumb a go this summer or you’re already a gardening guru, we hope you enjoy learning more about Custom Foodscaping. Also in this week’s edition, LN digital editor and staff writer Robyn Dexter takes readers on a walk on the wild side at the Saint Louis Zoo. Dexter delves into the different tours offered at the zoo, from getting up close and personal with penguins to learning about the daily care and training of hippos. We hope you enjoy learning more about these fun and educational tours, starting on p. 46. All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Editor’s Corner The word around town

Congratulations to Westchester Elementary in the Kirkwood School District for being nominated by Missouri as a National Blue Ribbon School – an award that recognizes “public and private elementary, middle and high schools based on their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.” According to the U.S. Department of Education website, the award “affirms the hard work of students, educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging content.”

The Care and Counseling board of directors and professional therapists recently announced that it is the recipient of a grant from the Steward Family Foundation. The grant will match donations dollar-for-dollar, up to a designated cap, from supporters who have not previously contributed to Care and Counseling – a nonprofit that “enhances emotional, relational and spiritual well-being … through exceptional quality and accessible counseling, EDITOR’S PHOTO BY SARAH CONROY

“Hop” in

Hope By Amanda Dahl

s families head down the bunny trail, children of all ages have their eyes on the prize: hidden eggs holding untold treasures of snacks and candy. For children with cancer, the joy of childhood can still be found with the aid of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society [LLS], which is gearing up to host its annual Hunt for a Cure, a massive spring egg hunt that raises funds and awareness for this crucial cause. “LLS helps children and their families to bridge the gap between the unknown and finding hope after a diagnosis of blood cancer,” explains the event chair, Erin O’Loughlin. “LLS offers hope through a copay assistance program, research to find cures, and family support groups and educational programs.” A key component of the organization’s vital work is the research it funds with the aim of eliminating all blood cancers by collaborating with medical institutions, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and professional healthcare organizations. “We want to reach our goals for these families,” asserts O’Loughlin. “We [aim] to raise $100,000 and are currently at 60-plus percent [toward that goal]. We are looking for volunteers and donations.” From candy, water and monetary donations to “bunny trail” security, which manages the time-incremented egg hunts for each age group, there are numerous ways people can get involved in the hunt. Families across the community are encouraged to come out and experience pony rides, a petting zoo, costumed characters, face painting and more. “Twenty radio stations will pitch tents with games for the kids,” adds O’Loughlin. “We’ll have 80,000 eggs. St. Louis Children’s Hospital will bring the LLS bunny by helicopter, who will then take a carriage ride to the grounds.” Last year, O’Loughlin’s father, Bob O’Loughlin, served as event chair and his daughter is delighted to take over duties, knowing the dramatic difference events like this can make in the lives of those whom LLS supports. Diagnosed at age 3 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia [also known as ALL], the 2019 Honored Hero, Lily, turns six next month and was most excited about meeting the LLS bunny. “LLS fundraises for people who are complete strangers,” Lily’s mother, Anne LaMartina, says in awe. “I don’t know if my daughter would still be alive if it wasn’t for this organization’s commitment. Leukemia is one of those cancers that meant you had a really bad prognosis, [if you were diagnosed] 50 years ago. “When you hear your child has cancer, you are completely devastated and terrified,” she adds. “Then, LLS comes along and helps you through it while fighting for your child’s life. We absolutely need LLS. People take it for granted but, if LLS went away, none of this [life-saving] research would happen.” Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – Gateway Chapter, 1972 Innerbelt Business Center, St. Louis, 314-590-2230, lls.org/gateway

SISTER PEACE MARY JUSTICE BYLES PRIZE LECTURE AND

Sister Micheline Lattouf heads the Good Shepherd Social and Community Center in Deir al-Ahmar, a village in Lebanon’s northern Bekaa Valley. The Center supports Syrian refugees crossing the border by providing shelter materials, food, water and clothing. Lattouf and her staff work with adult refugees to help them ﬁnd employment options in the face of long-term displacement. They also provide education for more than 300 refugee children, with many classes taught by Syrian teachers. School brings structure and a sense of normalcy to these children’s lives during wartime.

The Sister Mary Byles Peace and Justice Prize and Lecture is made possible through a generous donation by Howard and Stephanie Stanley. Until her death in 2005, Stephanie Stanley served on the Board of the Interfaith Partnership of Greater St. Louis, personally bringing people of different faiths together in dialogue. She hoped such dialogue might bring about greater Photo Courtesy of Tamara Abdul Hadi/CNEWA

Ardmore Ceramic Art – the creators behind the one-of-a-kind collectables from the midlands of the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal – will present exclusively at Neiman Marcus in Frontenac from April 5 to 13. This limited engagement will feature stunning ceramics and other vibrant housewares from a thriving artist community in South Africa. Not only do the sales from these distinctive pieces help support the Ardmore community, but also they benefit the Ardmore Excellence Fund, which provides funds to AIDS relief efforts in the KwaZulu-Natal region. Ladue News chatted with Thomas Munro from North Miami, Florida’s Pascoe Gallery, the largest import agent for Ardmore in the United States, to learn about what makes Ardmore art so exceptional and what attendees can expect to find at the exhibit. What’s the backstory of Ardmore Ceramic Art studio? The Ardmore Ceramic Art studio is located in KwaZuluNatal, a southeastern portion of South Africa. It was started about 35 years ago by Zimbabwean-born Fée Halsted on Ardmore Farm. She was an artist, and she found her true vocation in life was to teach people. After losing her job as a part-time professor … , she moved back to Natal, where her husband had a farm. She became connected with a lady named Bonnie, who was born on the farm but had polio as a child so couldn’t do farm work. Fée taught Bonnie how to paint and create ceramics, and they began to show and sell their artwork. They were the first pair of black and white artists to be jointly awarded the Standard Bank’s Young Artist Award [in 1990]. Fée started to empower all of these local Zulu women with no experience whatsoever, to do art. There are more than 60 artists, half of which sculpt and half paint. Everything they do is one of a kind – no molds, all free-form, sculpted by hand. … Each piece is actually the collaboration of both sculptors and painters. From those humble beginnings, this has really turned into a transformative way of life for the entire region of KwaZulu-Natal, as it’s uplifted the area out of poverty. That’s why the Pascoe Gallery loves to support them. What are the central themes to Ardmore art? The central themes of the Ardmore art are African

By Trey Ross

animals, foliage, plants and flowers. … And because most of the artists are Zulu, the themes include a lot of Zulu culture, history and storytelling through patterns and colors in the pottery. The sculptor decides, “OK, I’m going to do a rhino vase.” They create it, put it together and fire it; then, when it comes out of the kiln, it’s given to the painter, who gets to paint it however they want. They interpret the piece themselves. It’s really multilayered and a different way to make pottery. Ardmore ceramics have been on display in museums in the U.S., South Africa, London and Switzerland. How was this limited engagement at Neiman Marcus made possible? We were doing a show, and somebody from Neiman Marcus saw our booth, becoming entranced with the products. They needed to get it into Neiman Marcus, and St. Louis was actually our first NM store. This will be our third time going back. Since then, we are slated to do 24 stores, and it’s quite a big rollout for us. What can attendees expect to see there? They can expect to see the most unusual, exotic pottery that they’ve ever seen! Everybody that sees it says, “I’ve never seen anything like it!” I hear this a lot when I do these shows. People also tell me that it makes them smile. It’s such a great compliment for the artists, as well. It’s happy and uplifting. There is a great group of people who this art benefits, and it goes to helping their way of life. Are the items at the exhibition for sale? Yes, everything is for sale. It will be displayed in the gift galleries, and there will be ceramics, table runners, table cloths, napkins and pillows.

Custom FoodsCaping helps clients across the spectrum to nurture unique, edible gardens that last for decades.

f you plant them, they will grow. Founded in 2017, Custom Foodscaping works with homeowners, schools, community centers and others to create what founder and owner Matt Lebon calls “food-producing landscapes.” These green spaces rely on perennial plants, which regrow year after year without gardeners needing to replant, and include chestnuts, pears, papaws, asparagus, rhubarb and strawberries. “The focus of the company and the focus of my passion is on perennial trees and shrubs,” Lebon says. “Installing landscapes that will last for decades and produce more and more each year with fewer inputs.” Lebon’s previous work as a farm manager at EarthDance Organic Farm School – a Ferguson-based organization that teaches people about farming and gardening through weekly courses and hands-on training – led to more and more people reaching out in hopes that he could help them set up farms and gardens. He took his five years of experience teaching there and set out to change communities by introducing clients to permaculture, where selfsustaining agricultural ecosystems are implemented into gardens and yards. “Permaculture is all about trying to mimic nature as much as possible,”

29, 2019 | LadueNews.com 2828 March march 29, 2019 | LadueNews.com

Lebon says. “Understanding that biodiversity is the ticket to resilience.” A few of Lebon’s favorite plants all promote biodiversity, particularly in attracting pollinating insects that help maintain green spaces. These include yarrow, which is a pollinator attractor that provides excellent ground cover for air purification and ambient temperature reduction; false indigo, which fixes nitrogen levels in soil; and elderberry, which produces gorgeous flowers and can be used to make medicines as well as wine and syrup for drinks. Custom Foodscaping offers four services to clients: consultation, design, installation and coaching. Each is overseen by Lebon himself, who hires part-time staff and contractors to complete various portions of projects based on what’s needed. “For the most part, they take on a pretty unique trajectory,” he says of each project. “For some people, it’s the first step in a long relationship, and for others, it’s a one-time deal. I work with a lot of people who are just intimidated to start a garden; they need to know where to get started with their compost pile, where to get the soil, etc.” That’s the on-site consultation portion of Custom Foodscaping’s services. Lebon’s past experience and deep ties to the area – he’s a St. Louis native who left the city to pursue adventures outside the Midwest before returning a decade later – make him an expert in where to buy plants and other products needed for home gardens. Design comes next. A layout of the project space is created as a blueprint to work from, including details such as water management, which is key to maintaining a healthy food-producing landscape. If the clients intend to do the work themselves, the blueprint is there to use as their guide; if not, Custom Foodscaping uses it as the treasure map to a fortune of homegrown food. Client assistance during the installation process is always encouraged but never required, with projects ranging in scope, duration and price

depending on the scale of the work. “Our real dream with this is to look for our ideal clients [who] are actually interested in the coaching piece,” Lebon says. “We want to help people have long-term success; it’s a lifetime of learning to be a good grower. It requires that they be engaged with the landscape.” There’s no question that Lebon knows his stuff. His passion for the subject is evident, particularly when discussing how great of a difference this kind of work – and food – can make. “I think they’re looking for something supplementary, but they’re looking for impact more than quantity,” he says. “What I’m trying to create is an experience where families – especially those with kids – they’re looking for a diverse palate of ‘magical food experiences.’ It really ties them to nature and to what it means to connect with the land.” The response has already been great. Lebon mentions two of his favorite recent projects, which include a perennial chef’s garden at St. Louis restaurant Vicia and the design and installation of a permaculture orchard at Principia School, where the staff and Lebon set up the space to maximize students’ involvement in planting and maintaining the orchard. Expansion is around the corner. Custom Foodscaping’s first coaching course was a two-day session that sold out quickly, and soon Lebon hopes to hire full-time staff and offer more courses to current and potential clients. That said, with growth on the horizon, Lebon remains as committed as ever to his hometown. “For people who are passionate about change and new ideas, it’s so ripe for picking, to use a terrible landscaping pun,” he says. “I feel like I’m so wellconnected and -rooted here that I want to be here to do this kind of work.” Custom Foodscaping, customfoodscaping.com

A NEXT STEP ‌Naked Boot and Shoe, a St. Louis-based leather goods company, prides itself on offering local, hand-crafted and affordable lines of stylish women’s and men’s products. Owning every step in the creation process, the company features products made with 100 percent natural-grain leather and uses environmentally friendly methods. Ladue News caught up with Jim Ferguson, the company’s founder, to get some insight on its upcoming expansions: a new storefront and clothing line. What sparked the desire to open a sister store? Whereas the Webster store is solely a retail space, the Chesterfield store will serve as both a retail space and our sample-making and design studio for the clothing line. It’s really going to be an innovative space and a created hub for the Naked brand that we hope will grow to be an incredible resource for other local designers, as well. Will the new location mirror the Webster Groves location or will it have its own personality? The Chesterfield store will definitely have a unique

personality, but customers can expect the same great service and high-quality assortment of product that we have at the Webster location. We’re going to have a coffee bar, an alterations department and a leather-centric furniture and home goods selection, in addition to our footwear that customers know and love. What inspired you to broaden your spectrum from shoes into clothing? One of the questions our customers ask a lot is how they should style their shoes. That really got our team talking about the possibilities we have to build a lifestyle brand and develop a brand that addresses consumer needs in multiple categories. What can we expect to see in The Naked Collection? Quality, in regards to the materials and manufacturing processes we use, is always at the forefront of our design process. You can expect to see flattering, tailored separates that look great and feel

even better to wear. Do you have a favorite or most anticipated piece from The Naked Collection? I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say we have the best leather pants on the market. We use lightweight, breathable lambskin and line our pants to the knee so they are comfortable and easy to wear, as well as flattering. We’ve had women try them on that have never worn or wanted to wear leather pants before that are absolutely in love with the silhouette and how it feels. Anything else you’d like to add? Women’s clothing is our next step in building this amazing leather-centric lifestyle brand, but it’s not the final step. You can expect Naked to continue to grow and evolve.

RUGGED

Maryland Heights-based heritage brand Dakota Grizzly tailors a fresh twist on classic men’s outerwear to fit today’s modern craft-makers.

en’s outerwear brand Dakota Grizzly is passionate about proving rugged apparel doesn’t have to be sloppy – it can be stylish. The 12-year-old heritage brand prides itself on this passion for its craft that has rich roots – tracing all the way back to its 73-year-old parent company, California Manufacturing Co. (CMC Brands) – named for its original manufacturing facility in California, Missouri. The company was founded by Lester Handelman as a men’s outerwear manufacturer in 1946 amid the once-thriving St. Louis garment district along Washington Avenue. Carrying on the tradition of the family-owned textile operation today is Rob Rosenblum of Creve Coeur and his sister-in-law, Ellen Brin, Handelman’s granddaughter, who serve as Dakota Grizzly’s third-generation co-owners. Based in Maryland Heights, Dakota Grizzly is an outdoor-apparel brand with a fresh interpretation on classic fabrics that are tailored in a modern fit for today’s men of all ages. “Men today are more open to discovering their own brands in stores and online – they don’t necessarily want to wear what their fathers wore,” Rosenblum says, noting that the brand fills today’s men’s desire for a modern spin on classic style. “Dakota Grizzly is a lifestyle brand featuring updated rugged classics. Even when he discovers the brand online, our customer wants to also find Dakota Grizzly at their favorite independent retailer.” Named in part for an active dog named Dakota with which the co-owners became acquainted at an outdoor retailer trade show, the brand’s outerwear and accessory lines of long-sleeve shirts, T-shirts, hoodies, pullovers, jackets and caps are crafted with distinct style, comfort and function for everything from everyday to active lifestyles. The clothing collections showcase both modern and vintage details, from snap buttons to contrast stitching and embroidery on cozy fabrics, such as flannel, fleece and wool. Guys love the richly detailed yet rugged look of the outdoor apparel, Rosenblum says. And customers’ significant others also like how the brand fits their men, he adds: “Rugged doesn’t have to mean sloppy; it can mean nicely fitting, and we are getting women’s stamp of approval – because the guy has to like it, but their significant other also has to like how it looks on him, or odds are, it won’t leave the closet much.” The spring collection features cotton and cotton-blend, shortand long-sleeve button-up shirts and T-shirts, as well as accessories including caps, while the fall collection focuses on classic outdoor looks, from flannel shirts and lined outer shirts to fleece vests and microsuede outerwear. Each style is complete with its own manly moniker, from the spring collection’s short-sleeve, button-up shirt Conrad, to the fall collection’s long-sleeve flannel Grant. True to its mission of supporting and outfitting fellow craftsmen, Dakota Grizzly collaborates with other Midwest makers who also have a passion for their particular craft. “When we went to identify makers for our marketing campaign, we realized we already had a grassroots following from craftsmen who had discovered our brand on their own,” Rosenblum says.

40 March 29, 2019 | LadueNews.com

For the spring collection, Dakota Grizzly is highlighting as its Midwest Maker a musical craftsman: Griffin House, a national recording artist from Nashville. The singer-songwriter already had found Dakota Grizzly and picked up a few pieces to wear, Rosenblum says: “Just as people like to discover their own brand, people like to discover their own new music, so Griffin was a great fit for our brand.” The featured fall Midwest Maker is another fan of the brand and fellow craftsmen – craft beer-maker Kevin Lemp, owner of 4 Hands Brewing Co. in St. Louis. Although Dakota Grizzly apparel was previously primarily sold throughout the western U.S., it has launched coast-to-coast in recent years and is now available at more than 300 retail locations. The full collections appear on its website, dakotagrizzly.com, with selections locally at Outdoors, Inc. in Ladue and Thro’s in St. Charles. Whether a modern man’s assembling his casual clothing or outdoor sportswear wardrobe, Dakota Grizzly’s carefully crafted apparel and accessories can fit his sense of style, both rugged and tailored.

The Sports Pre-Participation Exam

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

‌A

lmost 60 million children and adolescents participate in organized sports in the United States, and almost 8 million of those are involved in competitive athletics at the high school level. Pediatricians and family physicians understand that for many of these healthy athletes, the annual sports physical may be their only contact with a physician. So it’s important for physicians and parents to work together to get the maximum value for the adolescent during this annual visit. Athletes should schedule this exam early so they see their physician at least four to six weeks before practice begins – realizing “I can’t practice tomorrow unless this paper is completed” does not constitute good medical care. The examination should be performed by the given athlete’s primary care physician. In addition to the components of the preparticipation exam (PPE), this encounter offers the opportunity for the physician to address the gamut of issues affecting the developing adolescent: evolving relationships with peers and parents, developing sexuality, substance use and abuse, school performance, life plans, and risk-taking and safety, as well as immunization status. The list is extensive

and is only adequately addressed by the primary care physician, who knows the patient and family well. The PPE itself should begin, as should every visit with a physician, with a relevant and thorough medical history. A good history alone identifies 80 to 90 percent of all abnormalities. Cardiovascular history, both that of the patient and his or her family, should identify red flags that will lead to further evaluation when necessary to ensure the safety of the adolescent in a chosen sport. Existing illnesses, such as asthma or diabetes, can be discussed and plans for management established. Some physicians and many school districts offer baseline neurocognitive testing, which is useful should the athlete suffer head trauma and be suspected of concussion. A musculoskeletal exam is essential, as is discussion of training and injury prevention. Female athletes should be evaluated for components of the female athlete triad: low energy (with or without disordered eating), menstrual dysfunction and bone mineralization issues. The single most important message I can convey is to be proactive and schedule this annual visit with your child’s primary care physician. While you may be thinking, “This school year isn’t over yet!,” getting

an appointment on the calendar now for early in the summer is the best plan to avoid the rush later.

Long Tastes First Big Success on PGA Tour

In the recent Desert Classic, Adam Long made a 14-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win his first PGA Tour title. With pre-tourney odds at 500 to 1 on Long’s chances to win, his prize totaled $1.062 million. Making his sixth career start on the tour, Long closed with a bogey-free final round of 7-under 65 on the Stadium Course at PGA West to beat playing partners Phil Mickelson and Adam Hadwin by a stroke. He finished with a 26-under 262. “I got a pretty good read off Phil’s putt,” Long says. “It was one of those putts that you just stand over – you just know you’re going to make. And you can’t control that, but when you have that feeling, it’s a good one.” Long set up for the winning putt with a 6-iron shot from 175 yards, with the ball below his feet in dormant grass on a mound to the right of the fairway. An all-state golfer for four years at Francis Howell High School, Long continued his golf career at Duke University, after which he set his sights on a professional career. His résumé includes the 2012 Web.com Tour, the 2014 Mackenzie Tour in Canada and the PGA Tour Latinoamérica Tour. Now with the PGA, Long has at last landed where he wanted. “In some ways, it’s been a little bit of a roller coaster, but it’s been a steady improvement throughout my career,” Long says. “I’ve played in pretty much most tours around the world that there are and just kind of steadily progressed. It kind of can seem like it came out of nowhere, but my game’s been trending in the right direction for really the last two years now.”

the week carding rounds of 64-69-73-69 and totaling one eagle and 18 birdies versus eight bogeys. This marked his seventh AT&T appearance, the fifth time he’s won money and his first top-10 finish since a career-tying-best third at the 2014 Valspar. Langley – a Parkway South High School and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign grad – finished sixth in the recent AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California. Reflecting a relatively smooth transition from college golf to the PGA Tour, the three-time AllAmerican at Illinois and medalist at the 2010 NCAA Championship tied for 17th at the 2012 PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament. He played in 27 tour events in 2013, his rookie year, and 29 in 2014 – carding thirdplace finishes each year.

In late February, a car crashed into the Clayton Road office of the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association – the second time in four months. While traveling westbound on that thoroughfare, a driver lost vehicular control, struck a utility pole and storage container and hit the corner of the office. The crash killed the driver, and the car caught fire. Although the office remains unoccupied for the time being, if not permanently, its number remains operable, with email perhaps the fastest form of communication. From the office, Curt Rohe can be reached at curt@metga.org, and Maggie Smith at maggie@metga.org.

Brown to Join MAGA Staff Adrian Brown, a P.J. Boatwright Intern for the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association in 2017 and 2018, returns this summer to manage programs of the Southern Illinois Golf Association (a supporting MAGA organization) and other duties. SIGA will close its Carterville location at the end of this month. Brown, a graduate of McKendree College and full-time teacher, is joining the MAGA staff part time to oversee the SIGA championships, website and Junior Golf Tour, to name a few. A longtime southern Illinois resident, Brown well knows MAGA’s member clubs in this region. Stewart Gilmore, SIGA’s steward for many years, is stepping aside for Brown to move into this position, but will remain involved with SIGA programs and assist Brown as she transitions into place.

THE ART OF BEAUTY: Feature Story WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER

YOUR GUIDE TO THE

Fountain

OF YOUTH By Amanda Dahl

ow do you feel when you look in the mirror? Hopefully, you are greeting someone you love and appreciate. Somedays, though, your reflection may show a shadow of the person you remember. Aging is a natural process but, thanks to advancements in cosmetic medicine available at Washington University Facial Plastic Surgery Center, you can revitalize your appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to make the entire experience positive and patient-centered,â&#x20AC;? describes Dr. John Chi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particular preferences drive the consultation. Any procedure or treatment performed in-office is physician directed and administered. All physicians in our practice are fellowship trained in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.â&#x20AC;? Each cosmetic consultation occurs with a physician and lasts an average of 30 to 45 minutes to assess and evaluate the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a cookie-cutter

format for every patient,â&#x20AC;? notes Dr. Gregory Branham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of factors, such as sun exposure, genetics and previous treatments a patient has had.â&#x20AC;? Most commonly, people in their fourth decade or older come in for treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As patients age, we generally treat the eye area first,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Emily Spataro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With advanced aging, more people come in with jawline, wrinkling or neck issues. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique for every patient, which is why we tailor the consultation to the individual.â&#x20AC;? Some procedures, such as Botox, injectable fillers, chemical peels or laser resurfacing, can be done in-office and may be ideal for younger clientele. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a person ages, office-based procedures can offer improvement but may not be as effective,â&#x20AC;? details Spataro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we age, we lose volume in the face, which you can add back through fat transfers done in-office or through surgical procedures. Some patients accrue more subcutaneous fat underneath their chin, where we can liposuction.â&#x20AC;?

From a brow lift to addressing extra skin and fatty tissue in the eyelids, eye rejuvenation can be coupled with procedures that add volume to your face. Of course, the true path to retaining your youth is in being kind to yourself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skincare is something people should do on a regular basis as a lot of aging prevention starts with the skin,â&#x20AC;? advises Branham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Developing a skin routine, keeping out of the sun and wearing sunscreen is all part of a continuum we want patients to hopefully start prior to procedures and continue with after.â&#x20AC;? Chi agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people view skin as the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest organ â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is often overlooked,â&#x20AC;? he adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether you go for surgery or treatment or not, skincare is one of the best things you can do, in addition to proper nutrition and getting adequate sleep, to maintaining your youthfulness and securing the quality of your skin.â&#x20AC;?

says. “It’s the culmination of a restaurant I’ve wanted to create for many years, ever since Kara and I met.” Pop’s 1,300 square feet can accommodate roughly 80 guests. To loosely coincide with its theme, Kara Bailey redesigned the interior with plenty of pops of color and Jackson Pollock-inspired artwork she created with her mother, retired art teacher Maryellen Picker. Andy Warhol-inspired wallpaper provides vibrant accents, coupled with matching embellishments like floral cushions. Chefs Stephen Trouver, Mike Brown, A.J. Benga and Andy White developed a diverse collection of fare for the full-service restaurant. Although Dave Bailey says everything on the menu was conceived to be shareable, pairing a couple of items can create a more

traditional meal. “My favorite small plates are the poutine and the tartare,” he says. “We cook so much bacon at Rooster [another Baileys’ Restaurants endeavor] that we have enough leftover fat to fill an entire fryer to make our fries with here. It’s completely over the top and really delicious.” That poutine comes with fries, red gravy, bacon lardon and cheddar, while the tartare comprises flap steak, salt-cured egg, thyme butter, chervil, pickled shallot and crostini. As another eye-catching option, Pop’s octopus involves braising with the African spice mix ras el hanout, smashed potato, cherry tomato and safflower crema. Additional highlights include such entrées as chicken

n January, Pop, the latest endeavor from St. Louis’ Baileys’ Restaurants, made a bubbly debut. A bar/restaurant focused on all things sparkling and located in St. Louis’ Lafayette Square neighborhood, Pop replaced its predecessor, L’Acadiane, with a full menu of snacks and small plates, entrées, boards and an extensively effervescent beverage program. The establishment comes from the husband-andwife duo of Dave and Kara Bailey, whose shared go-to beverage involves bubbles. With Pop, the Baileys hope to make bubbles a regularly enjoyable component of “celebrat[ing] the everyday.” “This place was built on the memories of falling in love, of joy, of fun and all things sparkling,” Dave Bailey

with paillard breast, preserved lemon and sage jus, beurre blanc and squash hash. Boards provide another optimal pairing with bubbles. A charcuterie board, for instance, comes with capocollo, Genoa salami, cured duck, mustard, a popover, maplesmoked cheddar and rustic black-pepper crackers made in-house. Behind the bar, Justin Austermann developed the beverage program, while Julia Greco curated the by-the-glass and bottle lists – the latter of which currently offers close to 70 different options. Ten sparkling wines are available by the glass. Beer and cider also are available both in bottles and on draft, and cocktails include concoctions like Pop’s Martini, with “Old Tom” gin, vodka, dill, vermouth and a sparkling trocken dry German wine. So pop on over to Pop for some bites and bubbles before catching The Play That Goes Wrong from The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.

‌Story: Chris Bean is anxious and excited about the Cornley University Drama Society’s debut performance of The Murder at Haversham Manor – anxious because he dearly wants this production to exceed previous CUDS efforts such as Cat (sic) and The Lion and the Wardrobe (ditto), both of which were altered from their more familiar iterations due to cast defections. He has much time and energy invested in the show as its director, designer, costume designer, prop-maker, box office manager, press and PR person, “dramaturgy,” voice coach, dialect coach and fight choreographer and in the rehearsal role of Mr. Fitzroy. He even wrote some informative notes in the program book. (And you thought you were busy.) So while lighting and sound operator Trevor searches for a missing CD by 1980s pop icons Duran Duran and hardworking stage manager Annie summons assistance from an audience member to help handle elements of the balky set, Bean announces that CUDS is delighted to make its initial appearance at the vaunted Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, albeit while noting the abrupt cancellation of its proposed production of another play. He encourages the audience to sit back and absorb this sparkling whodunit by the esteemed Susie H.K. Brideswell (the fictitious counterpart of real playwrights Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields). In it, Charles Haversham has been found dead at his country estate, and now Inspector Carter (portrayed by Bean) must sift through the myriad clues to ascertain and apprehend Charles’ killer. Is it his dapper younger brother, Cecil, or his scheming fiancée, Florence? What about trusty aide Perkins or Charles’ pal Thomas Colleymoore? Rest assured that Carter is on the case, come hell or high water – or a malfunctioning prop or other set piece or four. Under the valiant tutelage of the indomitable Bean, the show must assuredly go on. Kind of. Highlights: Rep Augustin Family Artistic Director Steven Woolf brings down the curtain on his illustrious tenure with The Rep with this rollicking presentation of England’s Mischief Theatre company’s fun-filled comedy of high-energy errors, expertly directed by Melissa Rain Anderson. Other Info: The Play That Goes Wrong opened in London in 2012 and is still running in the West End, along the way picking up an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2015 for the production that transferred to the Duchess Theatre in 2014. The Rep’s version marks its American regional theater debut, the first self-produced rendition outside of New York City. Special recognition needs to be made to scenic designers Peter and Margery Spack, who concocted the wondrous set, which garners many of the comedy’s abundant laughs with its propensity for

calamity and destruction. The mayhem begins even before the show-withina-show officially “begins,” as Trevor and Annie wrestle with a set door that won’t stay closed, loose floorboards and a mantel that won’t stay affixed to the back wall. Kudos go to The Rep’s construction crew for making the purposely disastrous set so wondrously woeful. The precarious pieces, such as a collapsing second-level floor, make the cast’s acrobatic and athletic abilities all the more impressive with their pratfalls and slapstick. Lines are dropped or repeated at the wrong points in the script with deliciously hilarious results, as are Evan Zes’ mangled pronunciation of words that his character, Dennis, carefully utters from notes he’s written on the palms of his hands. Matthew McGloin is hilarious as the overly eager Max Bennett, the self-impressed actor who is exhilarated with the audience’s reception of his wildly gesticulating onstage antics as both Cecil and a crusty gardener. Ruth Pferdehirt shows her own flair for physical comedy in portraying Sandra Wilkinson, who in turn portrays Florence, especially after she’s knocked out by a faulty prop and replaced by Annie. Ka-Ling Cheung is a hoot as Annie, who steps in for the dormant Sandra and then refuses to return the role, leading to amusing altercations onstage and off. Benjamin Curns does his stiff-upper-lip best as Jonathan Harris, the actor portraying the groaning corpse of Charles, while John Rapson shows the exasperation of Robert Grove, the CUDS actor playing the suspicious Thomas. Some of the jokes here drag on too long, and one or two occasionally is beaten to death. Overall, though, there’s much fun to be had under Anderson’s spirited guidance with the witty The Play That Goes Wrong, which does physical comedy right.

Amanda verbeck, publisher and senior master printer

roxanne phillips, master printer

A smAll but spirited printmAking venture brightens st. louis’ storied south side.

narguably, one of the greatest delights of visual art in the metro area derives from the locational variability of its production and display – as the existence of Pele Prints testifies. Unlike the powerhouse showcases of, say, Clayton or Art Hill, Amanda Verbeck’s charmingly quirky venture nestles in the Dutchtown neighborhood of St. Louis. Verbeck, Pele’s publisher and senior master printer, sketches what specifically inspired her to found the venture in 2006. “I think owning my own business must be in my blood,” she says. “My mother, father and brother all have businesses of their own in different industries. It seemed like the natural next step once I realized I wanted to continue being a collaborative printer.” Before that, Verbeck graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a specialization, almost predictably, in printmaking. “That’s also where I met my mentor, Maryanne Simmons, the master printer and publisher at [Chesterfield and St. Louis’] Wildwood Press,” she says. “I realized I had a passion for collaborative printmaking while working for her, and I took on an apprenticeship of sorts. After 19 years, I still print for Maryanne today and feel lucky to have such a wonderful mentor.”

Verbeck briefly explains Pele’s distinctive pentagram logo. “The Pele logo is made up of flames and definitely has a connection to the Hawaiian goddess [of fire and volcanoes],” she says. “Without getting too esoteric, fire has the power to both destroy and create. Making art is similar and can be equally tumultuous. The flames are also a shoutout to my red hair.” Pele “take[s] a nontraditional approach and encourage[s] experimentation,” according to its Facebook presence, a characterization whose meaning Verbeck sketches. “There are more traditional and oldschool ways of printing, but that’s not our specialty,” she says. “I like for artists to play and try new things in the studio – unexpected techniques, different materials, low-tech processes. It’s my philosophy that this leads to new discoveries in the work and allows for the unexpected to happen.” In addition to Pele’s printmaking services, the venture functions as a modest gallery both virtually and actually. Virtually, Verbeck explains what in specific inspired the aggregation in Pele’s online gallery of the 16 artists there, who include Carmon Colangelo, dean of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Wash U and one of the metro area’s most active and highest-profile visual artists.

“I act not only as the master printer and publisher at Pele but also as a curator,” she says. “All of the Pele artists make work that I want to live with and have in my life every day. Hopefully, other folks want to live with it, too. I’m always looking at new work from different artists, and I naturally gravitate toward abstract, colorful imagery.” Actually, Verbeck also addresses the recent exhibition of prints at Pele from New Orleans-based artist Erik Barthels. “The first prints from the collaboration with Erik debuted at the INK Miami Art Fair in December,” she says. “INK is one of the many satellite art fairs that take place during Miami Art Week, with the centerpiece being Art Basel. It’s a week full of art, with people from all around the world coming together in one place to see and buy art.” In that light, the Barthels exhibition constitutes something of a coup for the venture, whose staff (excluding a floppy-eared Doberman pinscher named Arya “employed” as its public relations rep) numbers just three: Verbeck; master printer Roxanne Phillips, who holds an MFA in printmaking and drawing from Wash U; and Maria Verbeck, double-billed as Pele’s business manager and mère de l’imprimante – “mother of the printer.” “My mom, Maria, is an incredible lady,” Verbeck relates of the other woman, who lays claim to having worked in the printing industry for more than 35 years. “I can’t imagine having started Pele Prints without her. Pele is definitely a family affair. Her experience has been in the commercial printing industry, while mine has been in the fine art world. But we come together and bring our strengths to the table. It’s pretty great that I get to work with my mom, and I love having her in the studio.” Since its founding, the informal Pele studio has taken part in several dozen shows and exhibitions nationally, according to the website, and more than four dozen collections both nationwide and worldwide include Pele works. Moreover,

fairs and similar events in Chicago, Houston, Miami and New York, among others domestically, have involved Pele work, as has an artists-abroad program in Indonesia. Beyond that, the Pele Projects sideline creates notebooks, bags and mugs available both through Pele and at St. Louis’ Union Studio. “Several things inspired the Pele Projects line,” Verbeck says. “Printmaking is by its nature superversatile, so printing on more than just paper is an extension of the process itself. “These off-the-wall – literally – creations also provide a more affordable way for individuals to own a unique, handmade piece of art. As a maker, I also have an interest in exploring the intersection of art and craft. These projects are the perfect place to do that.” Otherwise, the venture potentially offers workshops, mentioned on Pele’s Facebook site. “I guess you could say that our workshops are ‘on demand’ – meaning they’re designed to work around your schedule and your terms,” Verbeck says. “Anyone interested in learning about printmaking can sign up – no experience necessary.” Finally, when asked where she hopes to see Pele five years hence, Verbeck looks both backward and forward with evident enthusiasm. “We’ve had so many great changes in the last couple of years – several new artists, a new studio space and a new member of the Pele team,” she says. “While I’ve embraced all of these changes, I would like to see us settle in here at Pele and focus on making more great prints in the next few years. And now that we have a permanent home in Dutchtown, it’s the perfect opportunity to become more involved in our community.” Pele Prints, 5230 Virginia Ave., St. Louis, 314-750-7799, peleprints.com
