Writer/photographer Mabel Suen chats with restaurateur Julie Truong about her fast-casual Vietnamese eatery in Maryland Heights, DD Mau, which may well leave LN readers jonesing for a bánh mì or three – or maybe a steamy bowl of pho.

From intellectual stimulation to physical exercise, residents of the skilled nursing and assisted living communities have much to enjoy. The recently expanded campus boasts even more opportunities for exciting new lectures, presentations and events. “This provides residents with more options to fulfill their day,” executive director Tracy Cecil says. “We now have two to three options for activities that they can choose from within any given time frame.” Learn more starting on page 12.

EDITOR ‌MY FIRST APARTMENT HAD A RUSTIC THEME. UNFORTUNATELY I don’t mean Joanna Gaines’ definition of rustic that we all know and love today. There were canoe and bear fabrics adorning the living room furniture, bulky wood frames on everything and red cedar plank panels adorning the exterior, sure to give you a pretty splinter if you touched it just right. Looking back, it was far from glamorous, but it beat sharing a restroom with the rest of the girls on my dorm floor.

Apartments today put my first to shame. Today’s luxury apartments not only showcase breathtaking design throughout but also have perfectly executed amenities to match. Starting on page 36, make sure to check out this week’s Abode feature written by digital editor and staff writer Robyn Dexter. Dexter speaks to representatives of St. Louis’ newest luxury apartments – Ceylon, The Barton and The Euclid – about their offerings, how they stand out from the rest and more.

Even if you don’t think apartment living is for you, this story could easily persuade you otherwise.

Also within this week’s edition, be sure to check out copy editor and staff writer Bryan A. Hollerbach’s story on the “Over There: World War I From Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis & Missouri” more about this exhibition that pays a thoughtful tribute to the 100th anniversary of World War I. Best,

I’ve been taking care of adults and children with asthma for 44 years and have been associated with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation for many years. I’ve been impressed very much with what they do, particularly for the children who can’t afford their medicines, and we provide their medicines. Environmental control is very important, and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation provides cover for their mattress and box springs so this really makes a difference in the lives of these children.

In participating in this event, egg-hunters and their families were helping find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, while improving the quality of life of patients and their families. The society’s bunny arrived by horse-drawn carriage to hundreds of waiting children and their families.

Children hunted for more than 80,000 eggs. Other attractions included appearances from favorite nursery rhyme characters, face-painting, health booths, radio stations, a petting zoo and pony rides.

DOWNSIZING TO A TOWNHOME

By Robyn Dexter

M

ary Joyce Mathis of MJM Design Company began working with her client back in 2004 on a 12,000-square-foot home in the county.

“I was with her from the blueprints,” Mathis recalls.

Down the road, however, the client and her spouse wanted to downsize and move closer to the city to be able to walk to Clayton’s array of restaurants and cultural fixtures. They selected a 2,700-squarefoot townhouse and called on Mathis to help them condense their lifestyle and redo the townhouse’s existing design fixtures.

“They had to make a lot of decisions about what they wanted to keep,” Mathis says.

The kitchen, pictured here, underwent quite a transformation. The client liked the style of the cabinets, but was tired of stain. She and her spouse chose to paint the existing hickory cabinets with a light oyster finish. The former island was small, and the client wanted it to be more useful for food preparation, so it was removed and replaced with a larger quartz one with a hand-chiseled edge.

Mathis’ client chose an iron, industrial-looking pendant and added a leather bench with industrial elements. She and Mathis rounded out the look with tractor-seat stools, complete with red metal to make them pop.

wave of luxury apartment complexes is sweeping the St. Louis area, providing its residents with a wide selection of upscale amenities, roomy spaces and smart technology. LN talked to representatives from three new establishments about what they bring to the already-vibrant St. Louis community.

Ceylon

Photos by Brandon Stengel

Ceylon opened in late 2017 in Clayton with a vivacious grand-opening party that included tapas and cocktails from neighboring businesses Barcelona and The Wine Merchant, Ltd., along with live music and a chance to learn more about the building’s offerings.

Inspired by the ever-popular Saint Louis Art Fair, Ceylon provides a minimalistic, modern feel from the moment you set foot inside. Located at the corner of Maryland and North Central avenues, the boutique apartment complex offers studio, one- and two-bedroom stylish apartment homes.

General manager Ali Graeff says that while luxury is expected in Clayton, Ceylon is set apart by its outstanding service and staff members.

“I like to say our best amenity is our staff because we truly focus on our residents and making their transition to move in smooth,” Graeff says. “It’s more of a feeling than a service.”

Inside the apartments themselves, residents will find modern floor plans and color schemes, private patios and balconies, expansive windows with solar shades and much more. The community also features an interior courtyard with a fire-and-water feature as the centerpiece where sunrise and sunset yoga classes will be held, secure electronic access throughout the building and a studio-style fitness-on-demand program that includes yoga, spin, kickboxing and dance.

Ceylon has a Walk Score of 96 out of 100 – a national gauge of an address’ walkability based on distance to amenities, pedestrian friendliness, road metrics and more, developed by leading academic researchers – making it one of the most walkable places in the area.

Residents can enjoy countless dining and entertainment opportunities just a block or two away, along with proximity to MetroLink.

“Many people don’t want the responsibility of a house but still want the luxury of a beautiful place,” Graeff says. “We have that here.”

The euclid

Photos by Alise O’Brien

The Euclid in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood opened its doors on March 15. The 71-apartment building celebrated its opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor Lyda Krewson and a chance for prospective residents to see what is available. Maggie St. Geme, marketing manager for building owner Koman Group, refers to The Euclid as a “boutique” building with features including beautiful ceilings and fixtures.

“The 71 Euclid apartments are sleek and sophisticated and are adapted to today’s modern lifestyle,” she says.

Each of The Euclid’s apartments offers fine finishes, quartz countertops, tiled bathrooms and wood-look luxury vinyl plank flooring. Natural light pours into the building, and most of the 71 units feature balconies.

“The Euclid offers the latest in building technology and design. Our access control system provides the utmost in resident privacy and convenience,” St. Geme says.

“At the entrance is a touch-screen intercom box with a video chat feature whereby residents can use their smartphone to receive calls from guests and quickly, easily allow them to come up.”

The second floor of The Euclid offers a 24-hour gym and fitness center, along with a community lounge with shuffleboard, a bar area and a balcony that overlooks the picturesque neighborhood.

“Most of our residents are working professionals,” St. Geme says. “They come home and want a true retreat from the energy and bustle of the Central West End.” She notes that technology is offering people products and services to make their lives easier, more convenient and more luxurious. Many people are looking to update their lifestyles to match, truly bringing every aspect of their lives into the 21st century.

“Apartment living is coming in line with that,” she says. “There’s such a vibrant energy in our neighborhoods, and being able to walk out your door and access everything is exciting.”

The BarTon

Photos by Matt Ponstingl

Another new addition to the Clayton area, The Barton, just opened March 15 on Maryland Avenue. The Barton features 229 apartments in its community, with several upscale amenities that make it feel like home.

The Barton makes an impression the minute you walk in the door, with a high-ceiling lobby and adjoining club room. Residents can store their wine in a climate-controlled wine cellar and enjoy a glass in the bar area. The club room hosts bubbly brunches and happy hours, and it might even include a continental breakfast in the future. Spacious hallways lead to the apartments, which all have 10-foot ceilings and 8-foot doors.

Julie Garcia, community manager of The Barton, says the facility has paid great attention to fixtures and finishes in the apartments themselves.

Kitchens feature white cabinetry, brushed nickel hardware and energyefficient appliances. Other luxury features include TVs embedded in the mirrors and heated tiles in the bathrooms, USB outlets in the bedrooms (both one- and two-bedroom options) and kitchen, and Nest thermostats that can be controlled from a phone or tablet.

The Barton features a 24-hour fitness center with fitness-on-demand services, a pet spa and 24/7 valet dry cleaning. Work is currently being finished on a heated saltwater pool, along with a dog park and a bridge that will connect The Barton directly to the greenway that runs to Shaw Park.

“We’re a community, and we strive for that,” Garcia says. “The Barton truly offers all the benefits of luxury living in a location that has it all. You can come home and be only steps from the same amenities others have to drive to.”

At The Club at Porto Cima, you can escape your troubles and relax, without ever leaving the state.

“The Club at Porto Cima is a place for families and for people of all ages,” emphasizes Coby Scarborough, membership director of the private golf and yacht club at the Lake of the Ozarks. Read on to learn about the luxurious amenities offered at this private oasis in Missouri.

lose your eyes. What does relaxation look like to you? Does it resemble a Mediterranean-inspired oasis, surrounded by shimmering waters and lush greenery?

Does it involve 18 holes of golf, followed by a leisurely, post-play aperitif? Or, perhaps a day spent cruising on the lake?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then you’re in luck. To find your bliss, you don’t have to travel to faraway, exotic lands. Simply venture south to the Lake of the Ozarks, where The Club at Porto Cima awaits, ready to ease your mind.

Owned by Peter and Susan Brown, the daughter of Harold Koplar, the late St. Louis entrepreneur responsible for the Chase Park Plaza Hotel’s renaissance, The Club opened in 2000 as a luxury, members-only golf and yacht club. Inspired by idyllic Portofino, Italy, the property boasts the only 18-hole golf course in Missouri designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus. Anchored by a 200-slip marina, the Yacht Club features an impressive, 17,000-square-foot marina clubhouse that includes casual, all-day dining, as well as a swimming pool, tennis courts and individual men’s and women’s fitness facilities.

Whether golf is your game or boating is your favorite pastime, The Club offers a variety of membership packages designed to appeal to your particular interests.

Although The Club is private, the property has recently launched a stay-and-play membership preview package.

The package includes a two-night stay in The Fairway 18 Villas or the Avila Condominium at The Lodge of Four Seasons, The Club’s sister property. “During

42

your stay, you can experience what it’s like to be a member here and to have this lifestyle,” describes Coby Scarborough, The Club’s membership director. “You have the luxury of being able to use the Yacht Club, the dock and the marina.”

Stay-and-play guests also receive a number of other perks, including rounds of golf at a reduced green fee.

In between bogeys and birdies, guests can lunch in The Club’s private dining room, then gaze at the sunset while nursing a complimentary cocktail at the poolside Tiki

Bar. Stay-and-play guests who elect to join The Club within 60 days of their visit will receive a credit toward their deposit or initiation fee, depending on which membership level they select.

Membership to The Club certainly has its benefits.

As part of the Four Seasons experience at the Lake of the Ozarks, The Club’s members are also able to take full advantage of The Lodge of Four Seasons’ myriad amenities, including rounds at the Cove and the Ridge golf courses. “If you’re a member here, you can access

april 27, 2018 | Laduenews.com | a ladue news special promotion

and play The Lodge’s courses anytime you want,” says Scarborough. “Members of The Club are technically members of The Lodge, as well,” he explains. As such, members of The Club can also enjoy a day of pampering at the Japanese-inspired Spa Shiki or savor delicious meals in one of The Lodge’s four restaurants.

Within the last year, both The Club and The Lodge have come under the management of Troon, one of the largest third-party golf and club management companies around the globe. “Troon offers golfing throughout the U.S. and the world,” states Scarborough. “Full golf members of The Club enjoy over 4,500-plus golf holes in over 35 states and in 33 countries.

You’re not just a member here. If you travel to anywhere that’s managed by Troon, you can play on the host club’s course for $55 per round during their designated 120-day peak season, or for $35 per round during the remainder of the year.” Members of all levels also enjoy special rates and privileges at participating Troonaffiliated resorts.

In the past, the Lake of the Ozarks has been best known for water bars and the Party Cove. Scarborough hopes that the elegant luxury offered by The Club will continue to transform that perception. “I want people to know that we offer other ways to relax and to have a good time,” he says. “We’re only a three-hour drive from St. Louis. The Club is a great place to escape. It’s a different feel here than in the city. We like to call it a lifestyle.”

his sweeping stone and brick estate delivers a feeling of permanent vacation, with enviable amenities and contemporary design. It will prove next to impossible to pick your favorite part of the home. During the dog days of summer, the saltwater Pebble Tec pool, with an incredible stamped patio, may prove your domain. When cooler weather descends, the outdoor hot tub, with color lighting, and stone masonry fireplace might keep you outside longer. The enormous open kitchen will be the highlight when you host family events, like graduation parties. The walkout lower level, with media and billiard rooms, offers the perfect escape for night owls. For early birds, the glass-enclosed exercise room is an excellent place to start the day. The two-story great room may reign above all, with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, wall of windows and surrounding built-ins. You’ll simply love each unique space in this fine home.

ike large-scale sculptures and skyscrapers, the sky’s the limit for Faith Berger’s fashion.

For more than 25 years, the local art consultant has been as known for her eye for artwork as she is for her signature style: eclectic, envelope-pushing looks. “Fashion can be inspired by the architecture of a building or the form of a sculpture,” she notes.

Berger likens picking a perfect piece of art for a space to choosing the right ensemble for an event. And her love affair with the art of fashion began early – at just 3 years old. “I was instantly attracted to fashion, and I collected all the issues of Vogue,” she says, noting that it all started with iconic Italian designer, Gianni Versace.

“My mom made me leather jumpers and capes … and taught me to sew in Italian stitching.”

With art and architecture as her fashion muses, Berger has spent decades building a spectacular wardrobe with the best couture clothing and accessories of the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and 2000s by the industry’s

biggest names, including Versace, Alexander McQueen and Chanel, to lesser-known designers, such as New York-based Jonathan Simkhai. “It’s like what I tell my clients about art: There are so many artists and clothing designers who have so much to say who aren’t on main [street] or at department stores,” Berger notes.

For that reason, Berger seeks out rare fashion finds at unique boutiques, such as Vie in Ladue and SKIF International in downtown St. Louis, as well as follows the fashion lines of up-and-coming local designers, including Wai Ming by St. Louis native Emily Brady Koplar. “I have a fabulous [Wai Ming] jumpsuit that I wore with a leather blazer in the fall, and now I’ll go for its off-the-shoulder look for spring,” Berger says.

To showcase her vast fashion collection, Berger pairs vintage treasures with modern masterpieces. “Velvet is back, so I recently brought out a Versace velvet blazer from a decade ago,” she says. Among the fashionista’s other go-to pieces are an Alexander McQueen peplum blazer, a Jonathan Simkhai fitted dress, a

By Brittany Nay Proenza Schouler contemporary handbag and a SKIF International knit sweater. To complete her head-totoe look, Berger loves slipping on a pair of pumps from Valentino, Manolo Blahnik, Balenciaga or Sergio Rossi.

Berger believes women should dress for their personalities and bodies. “Most people really know what works for them,” she explains. “Sometimes it can feel redundant, so you can reinterpret it – add jewelry or a beret, add a red shoe to an outfit, or a bootie to a midiskirt.” And whatever your style, she says the secret to any look is immaculate tailoring for the perfect fit.

St. Louisans can catch Berger and her fabulous fashion sense around town at art and fashion shows and charity galas. Next, she will be co-chairing an event where both fashion and music take center stage: Chamber Music Society of St. Louis’ 10th anniversary gala, Notes From Hollywood – The Sequel, at the historic Sheldon Concert Hall & Art Galleries on May 21, of which she says: “I’m already excitedly picking out my outfit.”

Ely Thurmond’s clothing line, Walt & Finn, brings a uniquely proper fashion brand for boys.

T

he idea for Walt & Finn came to Ely Thurmond like a shot in the arm – except instead of the proverbial push, it was a literal doctor-ordered cortisone shot in the arm that sent her into an energetic 22-hour productivity binge.

Thurmond had previously dipped her toe in the clothing industry by creating patterns and making clothes for herself, family and friends, mainly sewing dresses for her nieces, and during that cortisone-induced burst of activity, she decided to focus on clothing for junior boys, took pen to paper and started developing a plan to launch Walt & Finn.

“I’ve always wanted to learn how to design and sew clothes, but I didn’t know where to start,” Thurmond says. “I was lucky enough to find a fellow Midwesterner in Baton Rouge with an MFA from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. I was working full time, and she was able to help me at night. She taught me private sewing lessons for three years so I could learn patternmaking and construction."

That line became Walt & Finn, described on the label’s website as “a uniquely proper fashion brand” for boys, specifically ages 6 to 14 – the blur of ages between toddler-sized duds and menswear, which, if you ask any “boy mom,” can feel like a veritable fashion wilderness dominated by ostentatious athletic logos on sweat-wicking material.

“I knew there was a gap in the marketplace for a line focused on junior boys,” d ffound Thurmond recalls, a phenomenon she had experienced firsthand. Thurmond had d herself at a loss when tasked with dressing her son, Walter, in clothes that would ime. look sharp for a nice family dinner or appropriate – and comfortable – for tee tim Walter would always complain about the itchy tags or inside aistband adjustable elastic waistband. The adjustable waistband stic buttons would stick in his side, or the extra elast would hang out at the top of the shirts.

As a result, the Walt & Finn brand is heavilyy ffocused on comfort – “performance fabrics in classic styyles” is how Thurmond describes it, keeping that classicc m look but dodging complaints of discomfort from the young wearer.

“My mission is to create well-tailored clothes that boys enjoy wearing to nice occasions or just to look good,” she explains on the line’s website. “But here’s the kicker: These are also clothes that will flex, stretch and wick, easily accommodating a game of post-dinner football or a quick tree climb.

“We want Walt & Finn to be clothes your little explorer never wants to take off – so that he’s dressed and ready for wherever adventure leads.”

The name of the brand plays to this sense of young gentleman-meets-adventurer: “Walter, my son, is an old Southern soul that loves to play golf and tennis,” Thurmond explains. “Finn is from the Mark Twain classic [Adventures of] Huckleberry Finn. His Midwest spirit of adventure balances Walt’s interests with a love for hunting and fishing – two

We’ve all seen the ads from the retirement communities that extoll the virtues of senior living. Sonja Nelson-Stough and her husband, Larry Stough, visit these places several times a month. They think they’re nice.

But Sonja and Larry aren’t there because they want to move in. They come to perform for the residents. Sonja plays the hammered dulcimer, with Larry accompanying her on guitar.

Sharing their love of music is something they do in their spare time. But it’s not the only thing.

After retiring as a bank trust officer in 2008, Sonja started taking tap and ballroom dance lessons. She has danced competitively for 10 years. In her spare time, she plays golf.

By the way, she’ll turn 77 next year.

Larry, meanwhile, isn’t twiddling his thumbs. Just last year, he rode his motorcycle on Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, California. He’s an amateur photographer who enjoys tennis, golf and scuba.

Neither one takes bone density, blood pressure or any other kind of medication.

How do they do it?

“It’s easy,” says Sonja. “For the past decade, we’ve begun each week together at 20 Minutes to Fitness.”

“This unique, once-a-week, 20-minute workout fuels all our other activities,” says Larry. “It’s safe.

It’s medically based. It keeps us young, fit and strong.”

“We could not do the things we do without the strength building we get from 20 Minutes to Fitness,” Sonja adds. “It helps us build and maintain a strong core.” In other words, it helps fend off all those things that are leading their peers into retirement community living.

There’s one other thing you should know about Sonja: she hates exercising. “We have tried other exercise programs, gyms and classes, and I will not stick with them,” Sonja admits. “I dreaded going.”

20 Minutes to Fitness, she says, is different. “I do my 20 Minutes once a week, and I’m done,” she says. “So this is it for me. Best of all, it works! I saw results in the beginning, and I’m still seeing results today.”

If you think you are too old, too out-of-shape or have too many health issues for 20 Minutes to Fitness, think again. Even when Sonja and Larry had casts on their legs, they never missed a session. 20 Minutes to Fitness’ trainers – which include physical therapists and other pros – tailor every workout to your needs and capabilities.

Sonja’s friends tell her they wish they had her stamina, balance, flexibility, positive attitude and energy. All she’ll say is, “It’s great to be strong and do the things I love to do. I can honestly say 20 Minutes to Fitness has made the difference.”

As for those retirement homes: they’re a nice place to visit.

Larry and Sonja just never hope to live there.

More about Sonja and Larry:

Sonja served as 2013 Ms. Missouri Senior America, competing in the national pageant in New Jersey.

Next year she and her husband, Larry, will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They have trained together at 20 Minutes to Fitness since 2007.

For more information on 20 Minutes to Fitness, call its studios in Clayton (314-863-7836), Chesterfield (636-536-1504), or Sarasota or Tampa, Fla., or visit www.20minutestofitness.com.

By Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande

eople in the greater St. Louis area like to say our metro area is a great place to live, an ideal place to raise a family, a big city with excellent cultural attractions, wonderful parks, manageable traffic and Midwestern values. I’d agree that all of that’s true, but if we want to see the area grow and thrive, we also need to reflect on what’s not so great about St. Louis.

When Amazon didn’t deem us worthy of its consideration – St. Louis didn’t make its list of top 20 cities for a new facility – that should have been something of a wake-up call.

Amazon is looking for a stable and business-friendly environment, an urban or suburban location with a record of attracting and retaining strong technical skills and communities that think and act boldly. That’s a baseline requirement for any progressive city.

Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class, writes that the leading innovative and creative cities have three “T’s” in common – technology, talent and tolerance. He affirms that the three T’s explain why cities like Baltimore, St. Louis and Pittsburgh fail to grow economically despite their deep reservoirs of technology and world-class universities. He contends that perhaps the problem is that such cities are unwilling to be sufficiently tolerant even though they’re open to attracting and retaining top creative talent.

So allow me to share with you a glimpse of what St. Louis could look like come 2025, assuming we make real strides in investing and supporting our tech community. Our city could become a national leader in five sectors – human health, plant science, national security, technology and financial technology.

Human Health: With Washington University in St. Louis and BJC HealthCare anchoring the Cortex, it becomes the leading recipient of National Institutes of Health grants in the country – displacing the city of Boston and the states of Texas and California as the leaders in human health research and application, and serving as strong anchors of a sector that accounts for new jobs and new companies.

Plant Science: The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center will have an endowment of more than half a billion dollars, with 500 scientists and 200 plant science companies from around the globe. This will lead the way in providing food security (a safe and abundant food supply) to the 9 billion humans on the planet.

National Security: The new National Security Agency facility in St. Louis opens in 2023, creating a boomerang effect because of its efforts through the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation. The St. Louis region begins the journey of becoming the second most important national security hub outside of Washington, D.C. Technology: Because of a unified effort to increase tech skills education, St. Louis is no longer a flyover technology center. It hosts the broadest array of technical education opportunities in the Midwest. This is a product of the higher education institutional collaboration in St. Louis. There is a cluster of 400 startup companies (twice the current number).

Financial Technology: As a major financial center, the community grows to be the center of excellence on cybersecurity. This technology is deployed through Mastercard paired with other financial institutions, including Edward Jones, Stifel Commerce, Enterprise Bank, Wells Fargo and others in the banking and personal investment industry.

By 2025, new companies are founded here. Established companies grow here.

Great companies stay here! Why? We’re no longer the Gateway to the West – we’re the gateway to the future. What role will you play in building this future?

COMMUNICATION CONVERSATION

Making a First Impression – Fast

By Janis Murray

‌W

henever a new client arrives, my first impression occurs in approximately 6 seconds. It happens quickly since it’s part of my job to analyze what an interviewer might think of a client.

The look in a client’s eyes is most important, followed by facial and head movement. Together, they reveal energy, confidence, fear and complex emotions. That’s why I work only one-on-one – because no two people are alike. Since they are seeking coaching, I do not expect them to be polished and interview-ready. Apprehension is normal, so I cordially welcome gently.

When a client makes eye contact, has a real smile and has a head straight-on, it says, “Yes, I’m ready to try.”

Those with wandering eyes, though, suggest doubt or reluctance. Add in a blank expression and a head tipped to the side – signifying lack of interest – and all of that could mean “No, not ready … yet.” But all of this just sets the starting bar for what we need to work on for this client’s success.

Next, the handshake and first few words expand that initial impression to 30 seconds. The handshake is critical. A weak, sloppy handshake can leave a range of impressions from fear to boredom to “I don’t think

you’re worth it.” None of these impressions are helpful for goals. Conversely, a hard, bone-crushing grip can backfire, revealing nerves or over-ambition and possibly causing real hand pain.

Both types of handshake are especially counterproductive when the interviewer is a younger potential boss of either gender or a senior female potential boss. The younger may think the bone-crusher is dominating. The senior may think the weak, sloppy

handshake is an insult. Remember, that “little old lady” on the end chair at the scholarship panel interview may be writing the biggest check! Her generation broke the “glass ceiling,” and she may expect to be respected for it. Thus, a weak handshake, from a man, can seem degrading or, from a young woman, a disappointment.

Neither impression gets the scholarship.

The way to go is in the middle. A strong hand, direct eye contact, three shakes, each the same for every interviewer regardless of age or gender, and a smile with curiosity for a new adventure.

One minute in, you’re seated in my office, where impressions grow and change through mutual respect and learning. Gradually, natural gestures come out that show your personality. Good! But never underestimate that first impression. Overcoming it later can be tough.

With a good start, the race is always easier.

MOVERS & SHAKERS

Combining Her Interests, Experience and

Talents

With Phyllis Langsdorf

By Alice Handelman | Photo by Sarah Conroy

F

or 20 years, Phyllis Langsdorf owned a stationery and gift store in Ladue, where she used her creativity and expertise to help her clients order invitations and party goods. She was also a willing source for clients’ event planning. A gourmet cook, art collector, fashionista and party planner extraordinaire, Langsdorf combines her interests, experience and talents as chair of the 2018 Women of Achievement (WOA) luncheon.

Langsdorf is working with 18 WOA committee chairs to execute the minute details of a luncheon that welcomes more than 700 guests annually. The 2018 luncheon will be held at 11:30 a.m. on May 15 at The Ritz Carlton, St. Louis in Clayton.

“The luncheon day for our WOA volunteers actually begins early, at 9 a.m., and lasts until 1:30 p.m.,” Langsdorf says. “Committee members are there to greet the honorees and their guests, make sure all tables and centerpieces are set beautifully, ascertain that the food is plated elegantly and, of course, be diligent that our program starts and ends on time.”

During the luncheon, each of the 10 honorees will tell the story of her volunteerism on a video crafted by Creative Producers Group. “Whether you attend as a guest or as a sponsor, you will leave this luncheon feeling the need to give back to your community,” Langsdorf says. “These women are incredible.

Watching what they do and how they make a difference encourages other people to volunteer. Eternally positive, Women of Achievement take pride in planting seeds for others to volunteer.”

Langsdorf has been a part of the WOA sisterhood since 2014, when she was honored in the Creative Philanthropy category. Always on the move with unmatchable energy and a desire to help others, she has served on many art and education boards and chaired events for a variety of local organizations. “Phyllis is confident in leadership roles because excellence is her hallmark,” Gwendolyn Packnett, WOA president, says. “Her organizational skills, creativity and energy are just a few of her strengths.”

Langsdorf is also secretary of the board of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and president of the Saint Louis Fashion Fund founders board. She credits Susan Sherman for “creating the fashion fund to bring education and fashion back to St. Louis and Washington Avenue in particular.” She is a member of the Beaux Arts Council of the Saint Louis Art Museum and was co-chair of the 2017 Gateway to Hope KaleidoHope gala. Forever creating innovative ways to help organizations with their programming and

fundraising efforts, she is founder and co-chair of the National Council of Jewish Women’s St. Louis (NCJW) Recycled Art Sale.

“When a friend asked where to donate 30 paintings left to her by her mother, I suggested NCJW hold a sale and collect additional artworks to be sold to raise funds for advocacy and to provide for families in need,” Langsdorf says. The organization honored her last year with its Volunteer of the Year award. She has also received the Woman of Worth award from the Older Women’s League.

A Texas native and graduate of Leadership St. Louis, she has served as president of the Jewish Hospital Auxiliary and represented the auxiliary on the Jewish Hospital board. She was board vice president of New City School and served on the boards of The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis and Edgewood Children’s Home. A past president of Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design, she is a former board member of the Sheldon Arts Foundation, the Mid-East Area Agency on Aging Foundation and Laumeier Sculpture Park.

She and her husband, Kenneth, live in a co-op in St. Louis, where she collects owls, glass, paintings and teapots, grows herbs on her deck and makes homemade tarragon-flavored vinegar. They are the parents of two grown daughters, Libby and Sarah, and have three grandchildren.

These women are incredible. Watching what they do and how they make a difference encourages other people to volunteer. Eternally positive, Women of Achievement take pride in planting seeds for others to volunteer.

Local experts share advice on saving for the future, from advice on diversifying your investments, the best time to invest and weathering volatile markets.

O

nly approximately 15 percent of today’s private-sector employees have a retirement pension plan, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ National Compensation Survey for 2017. For the vast majority, future financial security depends solely on saving, and meeting your financial goals can be daunting.

“It’s easy to forget to save for the future,” says Phil Klevorn, senior vice president and private wealth regional manager at UMB Bank. “Many people think that saving enough for retirement is overwhelming or just outright impossible, but it is doable with a plan.” Creating that plan is often easier with the help of a financial advisor or investment strategist who will help craft a plan based specifically on each individual’s situation and needs.

Begin by meeting with two or three different advisors to get a sense of the best fit for your personality and goals, suggests Bob Wacker, senior vice president for investments with Wells Fargo Advisors. “Ask what [his or her] typical client is like, what types of services [he or she] offer, and how and when you can expect [him or her] to communicate with you.”

He emphasizes that advisors should explain how they work with clients to develop a financial plan, monitor and review that plan, and make sure financial goals are achieved along the way. They also should be transparent about how they charge for their services.

Patrick Britt, a managing director at Clayton Financial Group, notes that investments are just one aspect of good financial planning. “Other areas, such as income tax planning, education funding, risk management (life, health, disability and long-term care insurance) and estate planning should all be considered and reviewed,” he says. “It’s never too early – or late – to build a plan or start investing.

There’s an ever-increasing number of options out there for investors to get started, but doing one’s due diligence and finding someone that you can trust are key.”

When it comes to investments, it’s important to consider your overall financial goals, risk tolerance and anticipated time frame. Good financial plans contain a mix of short-, medium- and long-term investments. “Having some liquidity is key,” Wacker says, adding that being able to access the funds needed to cover living expenses for a couple of years is important in case of job loss.

Although some investments are designed to be held for many years, others, such as cash accounts, short-duration income bonds or certificates of deposit, provide short-term financial security.

Britt agrees that diversification is extremely important to an investor’s long-term success. “We want to spread our ‘eggs’ into as many different baskets (asset categories) as we can – this reduces the volatility of the overall portfolio.”

In fact, volatility is a current issue in investment circles since stock markets bounced up and down in the first quarter of 2018. “As you begin, make sure you understand the risks, and invest with intent,” Klevorn says. “You are more susceptible to losses in a bear market, so diversify your portfolio to help mitigate risk.”

However, most investors will see multiple bear and bull markets during their investing life, Wacker adds. “Volatility is normal, so you really have to look at the big picture in terms of your plan and mix of investments.”

Especially when the markets are volatile, advisors agree that panic is the worst possible response.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett famously said: “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” In other words, down markets can be good buying opportunities for longterm investors.

“A common message to our clients is to stay the course and remain disciplined to our rebalancing strategy in both up and down markets,” Britt says. “It is key to condition yourself to not make rash, emotional decisions in times of economic downturn. If your portfolio is positioned appropriately in the first place, you should be able to weather the storm.”

What are some of the most unexpected aspects of retirement planning? How do you help clients navigate these unforeseen issues?

One of the biggest issues affecting retirement is portfolio volatility.

At this stage of life, volatility is more important than rate of return, because high amounts of volatility can destroy retirement portfolios. We believe that it’s better to know about an issue in your portfolio before it becomes a true problem. We help clients manage consistency in returns.

For instance, having 30 asset classes instead of the three or four that they typically have in their portfolio. We have a very detailed, effective process, and we don’t deviate from it.

What makes us different is that we’re independent. There are no corporate mandates.

We don’t work for brokerage firms or insurance companies. We work with and for our clients.

Heise Advisory Group is an independent retirement planning firm based in St. Louis.

We don’t get caught up in the quarterly reviews that some financial companies use to make their clients feel like they’re on top of things.

Quarterly reviews only encourage clients to think in the short-term, rather than in the long-term.

At Heise Advisory Group, clients are treated like family. What’s one of the most rewarding aspects of your work?

The number one fear of retirees is running out of money, and the greatest compliment is to see people living their lives without financial worry. We spend a lot of time with our clients. We get to know their families, their joys and heartaches, and what makes them tick. As our clients head into retirement, they often want to spend more time with their families, and it’s rewarding to help them accomplish that. We’re a family business. That’s something that many people don’t really know they’re looking for, because all they’ve been exposed to are the larger, corporate financial firms.

DD Mau’s 3,000 square feet features 48 seats in an airy, minimalist dining room decorated with endearing framed art involving food puns like “I’m soy into you” and “I wanna be jalapeño business.” Truong generated the phrases, for which her friend Kimberly Brown drew whimsical imagery.

“It shows who I am – laughing, bubbly, goofy and giggly,” Truong says. “The restaurant’s very light and bright.”

DD Mau features a pick-your-protein style format, paired with a variety of options. Guests can choose from steak, chicken, shrimp, pork and tofu in spring rolls, bao sliders, bánh mì, vermicelli bowls, salad bowls, rice bowls or fried rice. Each protein is marinated with lemongrass, shallots and garlic for two days and glazed with oyster and honey sauce during cooking.

“In Vietnamese cuisine, there are five elements in every dish – spicy, bitter, sour, salty and sweet,” Truong says. “I learned how to prepare these dishes from my

mom and made my own tweaks to them.”

To that end, guests will find traditional condiments like fish sauce vinaigrette paired with dishes like noodle bowls, as well as more personal touches like a house-made garlic mayo on the bánh mì. The menu also features pho, including such options as traditional beef, chicken, shrimp and tofu with veggies. Appetizer options include egg rolls and crab Rangoon, and for libations, guests can choose from iced or hot Vietnamese coffee, matcha green tea lattes and Thai iced tea.

Whether improvising on your own meal or going a more traditional route, all of DD Mau’s offerings sound wonderful before catching Torn Asunder from The St. Louis Black Repertory.

“Everyone should check it out because it’s the only place you can get fast-casual Vietnamese food that stays true to the tradition of authentic recipes,” Truong says.

n Maryland Heights, a new restaurant features Vietnamese cuisine in a fast-casual format.

DD Mau, which debuted in February, serves traditionally prepared grilled meats on bánh mì, bao, rice bowls and more.

DD Mau comes from first-time restaurateur Julie Truong, who grew up helping with her family’s Vinh Chop Suey in St. Louis’ Baden neighborhood.

With DD Mau – a loose, playful translation of a Vietnamese phrase meaning “to go quickly” – Truong hopes to showcase her Chinese-Vietnamese roots by dishing personalized versions of family recipes she enjoyed as a child.

Truong, whose previous career path focused on fashion merchandising and marketing, says she saw an uptick in fast-casual eateries while living and working in Chicago. She also saw a need for more health-conscious options in the St. Louis area.

“I’m excited to bring this wholesome concept back home,” Truong says. “You can’t really get Vietnamese fast-casual anywhere in the area. These are all the

‌Story: Hannah Louise Ballard has lived her entire life enslaved to the white owner of an estate in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Late in 1859, the young woman marries another slave, named Moses, at a ceremony officiated by their owner, Master James.

Despite the conditions, Hannah looks forward to a life with Moses. The Civil War is looming, however, and Master James is succumbing to illness. Still, he reassures Hannah that she’ll be taken care of after he passes and that she and Moses won’t be separated.

Sure enough, though, Master James dies, and contrary to his assurances, his will disperses his slaves among his family members, including his wife and nephew, John Allen. Hannah and her friend Malinda are sent to work for Master James’ widow, while Moses is put in the nephew’s custody.

Moses vows to escape and asks Hannah to join him, but fearful, she remains behind. The Civil War has begun to rage, with John Allen conscripted while his business flounders. Besieged by the bank, he sells several of his slaves, including Hannah and Malinda, to a plantation owner in Georgia, oblivious to their pleas for mercy.

While the nation remains at war with itself, Moses makes his way to Canada, where he earns a living as a blacksmith, thanks in part to the interest of a publisher who wants to tell Moses’ story to Canadians and Europeans.

Meanwhile, another slave, Henry, strikes up a friendship with Hannah and Malinda on the Georgia plantation. After the Civil War ends, the trio makes their way back to Maryland in search of Moses and the infant son Hannah was forced to leave behind.

As her separation from Moses continues for several years, Hannah finally agrees to a wedding proposal from Henry. They invite Malinda to stay with them on farmland Henry has purchased and begin to raise their own family. Moses, though, continues his own quest to reunite with Hannah. Despite all their travails and the years and thousands of miles that separate them, will he find her?

Highlights: The St. Louis Black Repertory closes its 2017-18 season with the world premiere of a moving, profound and magnificent drama written by actress/ dramatist Nikkole Salter. Searing performances by an excellent ensemble under Ron Himes’ astute direction make Torn Asunder a poignant and unforgettable saga.

Other Info: Salter based her two-act drama on research done by the University of Pennsylvania’s Professor Heather Andrea Williams in her book Help Me to Find My People, “true stories of newly emancipated African-Americans trying to overcome the ever-present vestiges of chattel slavery to reconnect with their families,” according to The Black Rep news release. Salter

was commissioned by Williams and Kathy A. Perkins (the lighting designer on this production) to write the script.

Himes elicits superior performances by his truly outstanding players, who make Torn Asunder pulsate with raw emotion, as well as depicting the tortured history of the nation, especially in the South. When a Canadian inquires of Moses, for instance, whether he had any “nice” masters, Moses replies, “That’s a question only asked by someone who has never been a slave.”

LaShunda Gardner delivers a heart-wrenching portrayal of Hannah, a good-hearted woman always motivated to devote her life to others, searching for the bonds of a strong family life against all odds.

Her wails of anguish against injustice and torment permeate the spacious Edison Theatre throughout the nearly three-hour performance, a time which flies because of Himes’ masterful pacing.

Wonderful work comes from Myke Andrews as Moses, who willingly takes a risk to obtain the freedom he yearns to experience, regardless of any tragic consequences, and a man who equals Hannah in his devotion to his spouse.

Brandi Threatt is outstanding as Hannah’s devoted friend Malinda, who’s not above using her wiles with the lascivious slave owners to help herself as best she can and who looks out for the less practical Hannah with a sisterly love. Carl Overly is excellent as the jovial, realistic Henry,

By Mark Bretz

who loves Hannah but also understands her commitment to Moses and willingly helps her regardless of however hopeless his devotion may be.

Graham Emmons shows every side of the manipulative John Allen, who chafes at the injustices he believes to be inflicted on him by his own father but who shows a callous and cruelly indifferent side when considering the plight of Hannah, Malinda and others.

Rounding out the excellent cast, Alan Knoll brings poise and polish to a number of smaller roles, making each one distinctive and memorable, including Master James, the French Canadian publisher, a venal Georgian plantation owner, an unfeeling executor, a bureaucratic Freedman’s Bureau agent and others.

Torn Asunder is a remarkable piece of literature, elevated to epic status by Salter’s marvelous prose and a number of searing, unforgettable performances by Himes’ accomplished players.

T

en to 15 years ago, regarding any given wine, most folks thought, “If it’s pink, it must be sweet” – at that time, not a merit.

Times have changed, though, and nowadays, discerning oenophiles are embracing pink wines.

In that light, despite many different styles of rosé being made worldwide with

all different varietals, the Provence region of southeast France remains the most renowned for producing such wines – the benchmark for them.

Provence (below the Rhône) stretches mainly from Marseille to Nice, and the Côtes de Provence AOC (appellation d’origine contrôlée) constitutes roughly 60 percent of the region on the east. Wines have been made there predating the Romans’ invasion of southern France from Italy circa 121 B.C. (this being the closest French province beyond the invaders’ national borders). Provence enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with consistently moderate to warm temperatures, little rainfall and a long growing season.

In making rosé, the main, traditional method from Provence involves maceration – taking red grapes with light skin contact.

Provence winemakers use the major red grapes grown there: grenache, cinsault, syrah, carignan and usually a blend of any or all.

The winemakers follow the normal process of sorting, destemming and macerating

Doctor of Business Administration for working professionals –

Accelerate your career without disrupting it

(that is, crushing grapes in contact with their juice). Rosé production differs in that the winemakers choose the desired level of color and boldness in accordance with how long they leave juice in contact with the skins. (Wine color, of course, comes from the skins.) Depending on the style of rosé desired, winemakers will leave the juice and the skins in contact from two days to 20.

All that said, Domaine Cristia Winery occupies the heart of the Châteauneuf-duPape commune in the Rhône region. It also makes wines from the Côtes du Rhône AOC, the Vin de Pays and Provence.

Food Pairings: The 2017 Domaine de Cristia Côtes de Provence Rosé pairs nicely with charcuterie, crab, grilled fish, roasted pork, salads, shrimp and grilled vegetables.

O rdnance

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos by Sarah Conroy

As the 100th-anniversary observation of World War I draws to a close, an area museum is paying thoughtful, well-wrought tribute to that global conflict.

W

ith signal skill and solemnity, a little-known metro-area institution is saluting the centennial of the Great War that proved variously far less than great, the War to End All Wars that sadly but most emphatically did not.

“Over There: World War I From Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis & Missouri” runs till Dec. 30 in the Old Ordnance Room Museum near the northeast corner of the Jefferson Barracks Historic Site in south St. Louis County.

That exhibition, which opened March 3, begins with

the events of January 1918 and continues through the events that led to World War II. It complements an exhibition that ran at the museum last year from May to December and that focused on events in the United States during the early years of WWI, this nation’s entry into that war and the beginning of the massive deployment of U.S. troops overseas. The bulk of the current exhibition chronicles military action “over there” and, as its title suggests, includes several Missouri, St. Louis and Jefferson Barracks components.

The museum, which once reportedly served as a powder magazine, welcomes the public Wednesdays through Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. and charges no admission for the exhibition (while gently noting that a small donation of $3 or so wouldn’t go unappreciated).

Mikall Venso – the museum curator for the St. Louis County Parks and Recreation Department, the governmental organization that oversees the museum and manifold other area attractions and facilities – sketches the preparations behind the tandem exhibitions.

“I began researching World War I topics and items in our collection beginning in late 2015,” Venso says.

“By 2016, we determined to best tell the story of the war, we wanted to break the story into two exhibits, each commemorating the centennial of America’s role in the war.”

With its groin-vaulted ceilings and creaky hardwood flooring, the museum makes a pleasantly old-school viewing space, augmented by exquisite lighting and a discreet application of the hightech enhancements increasingly common in newer museums and similar facilities.

LadueNews.com | APRIL 27, 2018

“Over There” opens with two large black-and-white period photos printed on ½-inch-thick foamboard, the first showing three soldiers striving to jury-rig lines of communication amid structural rubble, the second showing two other soldiers patrolling amid different rubble that effectively frames them.

april 27, 2018 | LadueNews.com

Beyond those photos stands a rather macabre whimsy, a plywood carnivalesque cutout of an enlarged pen-andink illustration of a charging, armed doughboy – the common term for a U.S. infantryman in WWI – its head carefully removed for photo ops involving a vintage metal helmet there.

The exhibition’s displays then progress clockwise and roughly chronologically through the museum. (“We’re making you go around so the war wouldn’t be over quite so soon,” a volunteer staffing the reception desk tells a visitor one recent Sunday afternoon as she directs his self-guided tour of the space, which originally leaned toward the counterclockwise.)

Those roughly 15- by 30-inch displays include just shy of three dozen informational placards that generally fall into three categories: The first, smallest category focuses on personalities from the conflict, ranging from Enoch H. Crowder, who came from Edinburg in northwest Missouri and who subsequently drafted the draft (the dreaded Selective Service Act of 1917); through the young Harry S. Truman, who likewise hailed from this state and served in the U.S. Army during the conflict, later also serving as the nation’s 33rd president; to Woodrow Wilson, who guided the U.S. through the war as its 28th president and who won the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize for his Olympian but controversial efforts.

The second, largest category of placards centers on nonpersonality subjects ranging from women’s contributions to WWI through minorities’ soldiering experience in the conflict to the 1918 influenza

pandemic and, even more grimly, forebodings of WWII. Finally, 13 other map-bearing placards hang on the museum’s northern wall and illuminate battles of the war involving U.S. forces, ranging from Cambrai, France, to Meuse-Argonne, also in France – the final offensive of WWI before the armistice of Nov. 11, 1918.

Other highlights of “Over There,” whose felicities outnumber the pages needed to catalog them, include: • A mannequin wearing a U.S. Army enlisted man’s uniform and gear.

• A display of weaponry from the war, including rifles, handguns and other implements of destruction.

• A faux trench at the back of the museum that includes sandbags bearing barbed wire.

• A second mannequin sporting the uniform of a German infantryman.

• Six unobtrusive button-activated flat-screens providing insights into various aspects of the war.

“The most challenging part of creating an exhibit is deciding what not to include, as there’s almost always an abundance of great stories, amazing images and great objects,” Venso concludes. “The key is to craft a narrative that tells an engaging and informative story that captures visitors’ attention and imagination while helping them learn something new.”
