EDITOR ‌WHEN I LEAVE THE HOUSE IN THE MORNING, I’M TOTING A work bag, lunch bag, baby bag and smaller tote for when I run errands after work. At first glance, my neighbors may think I’m going on holiday (anyone else watch too much royal wedding coverage this weekend?) rather than to work. However, it’s the baggage required for me to manage my day. Something new on the horizon, though, may change that.

Lisa Hu – once a financial planner and consultant – was carrying the same collection of baggage in her life and felt compelled to do something about it. Thus, Lux & Nyx, a luxury bag brand, was born. Starting on p. 47, Ladue News contributing writer Denise Kruse shares Hu’s inspiration for creating the line of luxury bags that not only lessens our daily baggage but also will do a little good in the world.

local interior designers saw as trending takeaways from this year’s High Point Market in North Carolina (p. 28). Spoiler alert: Your granny may have the best taste in the family.

All the best,

Editor’s Corner The word around town

Congratulations to Dr. Dan Sindelar of Sindelar Dental for being named a winner of Kleer’s inaugural 2018 Most Influential Dentists in America Program for St. Louis. Kleer, an advanced cloud-based platform that enables dentists to design their own membership plans for patients, selected three winners per state. These individuals were gauged across an array of categories, including the dentist’s social media footprint, positive patient ratings, overall media presence, and leadership and philanthropic efforts.

Circus Harmony, “St. Louis’ only social circus, [which] teaches the art of life through circus education,” recently received a $25,000 grant from The National Endowment for the Arts to “offer free 15-week circus classes at multiple locations across the St. Louis area.” According to a press release, “Thanks to NEA funding, children at multiple sites will participate in circus classes in their schools, learning skills such as acrobatics, balancing, object manipulation and presentation. At the end of training, the children will join their fellow performers from across the region for six public shows at Circus Harmony’s home in City Museum. All classes will be taught by circus teaching artists and peer mentors from the Circus Harmony Teacher Training Program, which allows advanced students a way to perform community service, earn money and receive job readiness training.”

Intersecting Design,Craftsmanship

& technology

By Amanda Dahl | Designer photo by Sarah Conroy | Main interior photo by Alise O’Brien

P

erhaps you noticed it around tax season, when you needed to pull out financial files. Or maybe when the winter weather finally broke and sunny skies demanded you don more breathable clothing. Whatever the case, sorting through the clutter to grab what you need proves time and time again to just not be worth the trouble.

Jay Kamps, co-owner of NewSpace Home Organization, breaks down the importance that organization can make in your daily life. “Think of it: every single morning, you go into your closet to get started for the day. Every single night, you change [to go out or for comfort or for bed]. You use it as a transition room.

Having an organized home and everything in its place can literally save you hours each week.

Consider the time saved over a lifespan.

Having the right organization

system can really change your life.”

Launched in 1984, NewSpace mastered the art of home organization under the direction of Bob Fox. With new ownership, that foundation of customization is now refortified in NewSpace Home Organization.

“We’re not a franchise, so every job we do is customized to our client’s needs,” Kamps states. “Our craftsmen and custom woodwork shop are what differentiate us from other companies. We have the ability to build exactly what you want. We can custom design and build organization for any space in your home, including pantries, laundry rooms, home offices, garages, entertainment centers, bookcases and Murphy Wall-Beds.”

Exceeding client expectations is the company’s highest priority. From an initial call until the completion of a new space, and well beyond, the NewSpace Home Organization team is there for its clients. Repeats and referrals drive the company’s business, in large part because its team consistently strives to exceed expectations through superior service and by offering a lifetime guarantee.

Delving into your individualized organizational needs, NewSpace Home Organization engineers a visual concept utilizing 3D software technology. A designer will visit the client’s home to capture pictures of the space as it is and to witness how each client operates within their living environment. That environment is then reconceived in 3D to give you a look at your space, using virtual reality.

“Technology plays a big part in what we do,” Kamps explains. “Once you say, ‘Yes! That’s the design I want to go with…I love it,’ our manufacturing team gets to work.”

After the valued client input, an approved plan is then sent off to manufacturing,

“Our craftsmen and custom woodwork shop are what differentiate us from other companies.”

where a computer cuts, drills and sorts each individual design.

All of the company’s manufacturing work takes place at the NewSpace Home Organization headquarters, located just five minutes from downtown Clayton at Page Ave. and 170. Not only does the company manage its own manufacturing, but its expertise is also undeniable. Its home organization designers average 15 years of experience at the company.

“We strive to live up to our reputation every day,” Kamps says. “I guess you can say we’re passionate about home organization and custom woodwork – and about providing product designs that enable people to get organized and live a higher quality of life.”

he St. Louis Children’s Hospital Table Tops Spring Event, a one-of-a-kind luncheon organized by the Friends of St. Louis Children’s Hospital, took place April 18 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis in Clayton. More than 600 guests viewed spectacular table tops, whose themes were based on children’s songs, created by more than 50 local designers. Guests also enjoyed a boutique shopping experience from local vendors and a three-course lunch.

Christy Merrell, a music therapist with the hospital, was honored at the event for her work with patients, such as 2-year-old June Meyer. All proceeds raised from this event benefit the hospital’s music therapy program. The presenting sponsor was Soft Surroundings, and chairing the event were Carolyn McKee and Susie Meyer. St. Louis Children’s Hospital, one of the premier pediatric hospitals in the nation, seeks to do what’s right for kids.

nterior designer Renée Céleste Flanders calls this awardwinning University City project one of her favorites.

“It demonstrates dramatic changes that can take place with a few important components – without spending a fortune,” she says.

Flanders spent time getting to know her client and figure out her needs and wants. They painted the space and updated the fireplace by changing out the stone. Its now-monochromatic surfaces bring a “smooth harmony of scale and texture,” Flanders says.

They also opted to emphasize geometry in this living area.

The space features circles and rectangles, along with a unique triangular floor lamp. Since Flanders’ client had a stunning collection of teapots, those became the focal point over the fireplace. After incorporating a circular antique French baking tray and a beautiful piece of gate as wall décor, the room came together.

“She’s proud to have her book club over and to use and enjoy the space,” Flanders says. “It was one of my favorite projects.”

High gh Point

Highlights

By Nancy Robinson Photos supplied

From “granny chic” style to shades of green, local designers share their takeaways from the year’s biggest home furnishings market.

T

wice a year, in April and October, interior designers, editors, bloggers, publicists and other industry professionals journey to the American mecca of home décor: High Point Market. Located in High Point, North Carolina, and far and away the largest (and arguably most important) home furnishings market, it’s the epicenter of all that’s new and directional. LN caught up with three St. Louis designers on their return from it and asked them to share their impressions of style, color and product trends.

Style Trends The Julie Neill lighting collection for Visual Comfort topped both Carolyn Brotherton’s and Amie Corley’s lists of favorite new collections debuting at High Point Market. Coincidentally, Neill and Corley hail from New Orleans and share a similar aesthetic based on updated classics. “Julie Neill is one of my favorite custom plaster lighting vendors out of New Orleans, and I frequently visit her shop and studio on Magazine Street when I’m there,” Corley says.

Design & Detail’s Carolyn Brotherton spotted a return to traditional – with a twist – illustrated by the Thibaut showroom’s bold mix of florals and geometrics.

28

MAy 25, 2018 | LadueNews.com

The return to traditional – with a twist – was one of the biggest stylistic takeaways for Carolyn Brotherton, showroom manager at Design & Detail, a to-the-trade showroom in Maplewood. She calls the trend “new traditional.” Think case-good finishes with richness and depth, and classic chair and sofa frames updated with colorful prints that keep such frames from looking stuck in the past.

“We’re also seeing darker stains come back,” Brotherton adds. “Furniture got kind of casual for a while, with dry finishes, wire brushing and cerusing. That look has been knocked off a lot, and it’s hard to find nicer finishes with a lot of depth, so manufacturers are starting to bring them back.”

“There definitely is not one singular direction of style at the market,” says Amie Corley, principal of Amie Corley Interiors. “It’s really a little bit of everything.” Her own preferences lean toward resources that specialize in California natural or classic traditional with updated silhouettes and bold colors. “My favorite showrooms and vendors have a more transitional approach, using classic silhouettes updated in more youthful fabrics and colors.”

“Fine Furniture Design had a great contemporary Perhaps the best example at the line with a lot of wood,” Michael Jetter says. “I’m spring market was a look Corley definitely more contemporary. I like clean lines, calls “granny chic.” “Granny chic is simple forms, simple colors.” back in a big way,” she says with a laugh. “Think walls and furniture upholstered in the same fabric but with a younger spin. [It’s] bold colors and patterns repeated on both upholstery and curtains and lots of natural textures used to balance all the color and pattern. I love a patterned sofa, and there were striped and floral ones everywhere.”

But Michael Jetter, a young St. Louis designer on staff at Robert Idol Design who has a distinct preference for quiet, streamlined contemporary looks, kept his eyes trained on an entirely different aesthetic at the market. “A lot of what I saw was monochromatic – plain walls and very plain furniture with pops of color,” he says.

Color Directions Like the almost unlimited style offerings, High Point Market enthralled buyers with a wide range of colors and palettes, from those all-important neutrals to fresh, unexpected hues that convey newness. In that regard, green was probably the single most important color to emerge from the spring event.

“Mark Sikes’ space at Henredon was all shades of green and natural – one of my favorite combos,” Corley says. “He mixed grass green, spring green, ivory, jute, walnut and brass. The monochromatic use of all shades of green, tempered with natural textures and brass, was really beautiful.”

From Brotherton’s perspective, a more dramatic shade of green stole the show. “Emerald green was a hot color [especially on upholstery],” she says. Soft, cosmetic blush and the perennially popular blue-and-white combination also played important supporting roles.

St. Louis designers singled out green in shades ranging from “Emerald” to “Grass” as the most directional color at the spring market.

Made Good’s new Lidor light was one of Amie Corley’s favorite pieces. “I’m using it in a special project here in St. Louis,” she says. “I love how whimsical it is. It looks like a party in a light, but the natural texture helps to keep the playful silhouette in check.”

The Mix, Not the Match As with so many aspects of design, a wide range of metallic finishes was offered, reflecting the all-encompassing trend toward mixing rather than matching. Options spanned cool silver and nickel finishes to warm gold leaf and brass.

“There was a pretty good representation of both the silver and the warmer gold tones, although golden finishes were slightly more dominant,” Brotherton says.

“There were definitely more gold and copper tones,” Jetter adds. In some cases, both warm and cool finishes were used on the same product. For example, the lighting brand Visual Comfort “had a lot of two-tone fixtures where the outside was polished chrome or nickel, but [there was] this amazing pop of copper or gold on the inside.”

Corley’s metallic preference continued to dominate at the market: “Brass is still at a peak and will always be my favorite. I love how it warms up a space and gives it a more traditional feel. It is definitely not going anywhere. I think that people are becoming more and more comfortable with mixing finishes, so there is definitely less of a push toward all one finish in a space. I love brass with bronze or brass with chrome. Less ‘matchy,’ and a move to a more collected look is definitely a shift I see happening in the market.”

Bernhardt Furniture was one of Michael Jetter’s favorites.

“Everything in their showroom was relaxed and refreshing,” he says. “I wanted to touch everything.”

Michael Jetter, who attended High Point Market for the first time this spring, was amazed at the level of detail on case goods, such as Old Biscayne’s Claudette cabinet, distinguished by the fluted doors and hardware.

Designer Jake Spurgeon talks about the company’s formula for success: “It boils down to the incredible level of trust that we have with our clients, and to being able to create that relationship from the beginning. [That’s how] we’re able to work together on project goals.”

When Spurgeon was invited to help a couple make over their kitchen space, it evolved from a simple cabinet replacement to an entire facelift, with some elements remaining, including the newer countertops and granite waterfall island.

“I had a strong relationship with this particular client, a husband and wife who work together,” Spurgeon describes. “It was nice to meet with them to discuss their ideas and share design plans.”

Most discussions centered on how to make the kitchen flow, so that it would be conducive to entertaining.

The home was designed by St. Louis architect William Bernoudy, apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, to which Spurgeon wanted to pay significant respect.

“This home has a lot of original pieces,” he shares. “The homeowners had, in the past, added a second floor that fit the style of the house. I stressed to them that the kitchen was very 1980s and didn’t fit in with that period. We made the kitchen open like the rest of the home, with some modern touches.”

Maintaining the space’s modern elements, while designing the new open layout, challenged the Mosby designer to get creative. “I was able to push a little further to give the space what it deserved,” Spurgeon notes. “We made sure the client got that wow factor at their investment level.”

The new space incorporates original elements, including the molding, baseboards and sliding wood windows.

“We also patched and refinished the floor,” Spurgeon adds. “We purchased bar stools for the island with wire and little leather seat pads, which were perfect for the period.”

The team at Mosby understands what each home needs to elevate its style and purpose by acknowledging the strength of its current build.

“We had a ton of fun designing it,” Spurgeon enthuses. “This was my first project with them. I’m actually chatting with the clients now about their master

bathroom because they loved the kitchen so much. The kitchen evolved into such a great space for entertaining family and friends. From the waterfall island to the backsplash, the modern elements we added really brought that wow factor to the space.”

Maria Clifford

W

hen we meet for lunch on one of the first truly beautiful spring days St. Louis has enjoyed this year, Maria Clifford, with her hair elegantly pulled back, is already sporting what she later confesses to be her go-to summer ensemble: white jeans and a flowy top. But the kicker, so to speak, lies beneath the table where we’re seated: envyworthy wedge-bottom espadrilles. “They’re my favorite trend this season,” she admits, tapping a toe out to show them off.

A seasoned “shoe dog” – one who’s a veteran of the footwear industry – Clifford has years of fashion merchandising under her belt, including time spent as the fashion director at Brown Shoe (now Caleres).

So in storing her own wardrobe, she drew inspiration from her years of working in the industry, turning a former office into her own dream closet – with enough shelving to house more than 128 pairs on display, plus ample cabinet space for boots and athletic shoes.

“All those years going into the showrooms, you’d

always see pretty vignettes of shoes,” she says. “I wanted to be able to see everything rather than have things stored in boxes or tucked away here and there.

So it’s set up like a stockroom by color and heel height, and I can just survey all of it at once and decide.”

Her “shoe closet” is not only a stellar storage space but also a carefully curated extension of her designer’s eye, featuring soft-blue walls, mirrored dresser tops, natural light exposure and, fittingly, framed designer shoebox lids.

This marriage of fashion and interior design, in fact, led to her most recent venture.

In 2015, Clifford founded Style Matters, an interior design studio that helps individuals curate their homes and styles. Style Matters also offers services that include room makeovers, art and color consulting, shopping and home staging. Right now, she’s helping decorate a city brownstone with midcentury modern details.

“Starting my career in retail merchandising, it really trains your eye to look at things critically and evaluate colors and trends,” Clifford relates. “Over the years, it’s

By Mary Mack been this natural progression to interior design.”

Clifford describes her overall style as classic with a twist – and her shoe collection correlates, ranging from high-end designers such as Prada to budget-friendly casual and comfortable options. She counts her Chloé heeled pumps as go-tos. In fact, she likes them so much she now owns them in three colors.

For St. Louis shoe shopping, Saks Fifth Avenue reigns supreme, according to Clifford, but her favorite destination to hunt for unique pairs remains overseas.

“The boutiques on the Left Bank [Paris’ famed La Rive Gauche] are the best shoe stores for really unique finds,” she says, also counting the Parisian department store chain Galleries Lafayette and the Shoe Salon at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City as her must-visits while traveling.

“I think the shoes you wear can give you a lot of confidence,” Clifford says. “They can perk up an outfit, make you stand straighter and make you put yourself out there. Whether it’s because it’s a higher heel that you might not normally wear or a pointed toe, the right shoe can give you a little sass and attitude.”

Lux & Nyx provides high fashion with high function that’s good for the world.

a Lis

L

isa Hu spent more than a decade in corporate finance for multibillion-dollar companies, a life that brought a lot of daily baggage – literally. Every activity in her life, from work and gym to girls’ nights and weekends away, required a different bag that would fit a needed function.

“I was doing a lot,” says Hu, who emigrated from China and grew up in St. Louis. “I just got done with my MBA, I was busy at work – work in the morning, then networking events, traveling on weekends – and I couldn’t find a bag that fit all those occasions, something that looks nice to go with all my different outfits.” Without skipping a beat, Hu’s next thought: “I’ll make it myself.”

Hu’s concept for Lux & Nyx (pronounced “Lucks and Nix”) is couture bags with function, with a focus on eco-friendly materials and a strong charitable arm.

“Professional women demand style in every aspect of their lives, and the modern woman also needs functionality,” Hu says. “Lux & Nyx fills this market gap and does it with eco-friendly, highly durable materials.”

The name Lux & Nyx comes from the Greek words meaning “light” and “night.” According to Hu: “It’s a representation of a transitional period, whether it’s a physical change in time or an analogy for life changes.” This transition was marked by Hu’s step out of the corporate financial world into fashion design.

Hu started Lux & Nyx with the Work ‘N’ Play line, which is led by the Zoe backpack. “The backpack is the bag,” Hu says. “Every brand has one product that summarizes that brand – to me, the backpack is the one product that summarizes the brand.”

The Zoe features gold-plated hardware and 18 compartmental functions, including zipper pockets specifically for a change of shoes or clothes, a luggage strap to easily slip the bag onto a rolling suitcase, laptop and tablet compartments, and snap-button straps at the bottom of the bag to accommodate a yoga mat, a tripod or an umbrella.

The Zoe is handcrafted by two skilled artisans, taking approximately eight days to create. “There’s a lot of work that goes into it,” Hu says. “You won’t be able to find something like that on the market with so much function.”

The Work ‘N’ Play line is rounded out by the Bella,

a handbag with 14 compartments that reflect much of the functionality of the Zoe – zipper pockets for shoes and a change of clothes, extendable sides and straps at the bottom of the bag – and the Claire, a 10-compartment weekend duffle bag.

Hu knows that most people want to see what they are purchasing – and to that end, she has a sample of the Zoe, as well as samples of the full Work ‘N’ Play line, available at Dimvaloo Active Living in Ladue for potential customers to check out.

Lux & Nyx also has a couture-inspired line, all named for powerful females throughout history.

The couture line features the Amelia 1897, a multifunction crossbody bag named for Amelia Earhart, who was born in 1897; the Elizabeth 1558, a line of tote bags honoring Queen Elizabeth I, born in 1558; the Jane 1775, a line of modern crossbody bags with “ladylike details and a flair for romance,” named for Jane Austen, born in 1775; and the Joan 1412, a series of bags with linked-chain details representing the chain mail armor worn on the battlefield by Joan of Arc (born in – you guessed it –1412).

Hu thoroughly vetted her fabric and manufacturer quality while tweaking the prototype design more than a dozen times, visiting 40 manufacturers both domestically and overseas before deciding which fabric and manufacturers best embodied what she had envisioned as the Lux & Nyx brand ideal. Lux & Nyx products are handcrafted by artisans with more than 20 years of experience with “Freedom Fiber”

leather. “It’s a polymer-class eco-tech material, but this material is actually more durable than leather of the equal weight, based on my research,” Hu says.

“I have a prototype I’ve been using for months now, and it’s stood up to time and still looks new.”

The material is designed to move and breathe like leather with the added benefit of being weather- and water-resistant without heavy chemical treatments that leather would have to undergo to have the same durability. The Freedom Fiber material is lighter than leather, soft and luxurious, and a more environmentally sustainable product than leather.

Hu adds that one of the many goals of Lux & Nyx is creating its products with eco-considerate materials – so much so that she is even looking into recycled bottle material as well as upcycle leather.

But Hu didn’t just set out to create an innovative luxury line of handbags – she is also determined to establish her brand as a conduit for social impact.

Her drive is to establish Lux & Nyx as a brand that is eco-friendly and ethical, not just from a production standpoint but also as a vehicle for a social mission focused on education. She cites a Chinese proverb: “You give a poor man a fish, and you feed him for a day; you teach him to fish, and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime.”

Hu gives much of the credit to her parents and the education they worked hard to provide her in the U.S. “I came here very young with my parents, went to Mizzou for a master’s in accountancy, got a great job [and] got my MBA at Washington University in St. Louis, and through that, I’ve been able to craft my career – now I have my own company, and I get to make decisions – so to me, education is so important for the future generations.”

Hu plans to highlight various education-based projects as the recipient of Lux & Nyx support, the first of which is Love to Langa, a nonprofit organization that is building a school for the children of the Langa Township of Cape Town, South Africa. “I’m trying to engrain this into the fundamentals of the company now – we’re creating these luxury couture bags that serve function not only from the perspective that they’re versatile but [also] that we’re doing good work for the world,” Hu says.

“I want people to carry this product because it’s great, and I want them to feel good about carrying it, as well.”

CONNECT THE DOTS

No Promises ‌T he mercury’s rising, birds are singing, flowers are blooming – yet it seems each hour of each day, the media smother us with details of a seemingly dysfunctional world, one marked less by hope and optimism and more by confusion, controversy and chaos.

With almost daily violence on our own area streets, the local front scarcely remains immune to bad news - all in all, enough to make one crawl back into bed and hide under the covers.

Of course, we can’t do that. Life goes on, and we must carry on.

The fact that so much has happened in so short a time supports the belief that we live in a world of no guarantees. At an event a few years ago, the late management and leadership guru Warren Bennis addressed the challenges people face in such a world. Bennis shared six points he once found on a company’s bulletin board, which speak to today’s U.S. corporate culture: ■ We can’t promise you how long we’ll be in business.

■ We can’t promise you that we won’t be bought by another company.

■ We can’t promise that there will be room for promotion.

Licensed Bonded Insured

By Benjamin Ola. Akande

■ We can’t promise that your job will exist until you

reach retirement.

■ We can’t promise that the money will be available

for your pension.

■ We can’t expect your undying loyalty and we are not

sure we want it.

Bennis’ overarching point? In the current dynamic, corporations no longer make the kinds of promises they once did. So how do workers develop the psychological fortitude, leadership and managerial skills needed to navigate this perilous landscape?

Some may find Bennis’ perspective yet another sign of today’s societal decay. I myself find it refreshing and realistic, though. True, employees (especially millennials) may face a very complicated business environment of no promises. But recognizing no guarantees while retaining realistic expectations marks the first step in dealing with chaos and change. With change as the only constant, we can plan accordingly and remain open to new ideas and new directions. As the late, great Stephen Hawking told us, “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”

Adapting to change in a chaotic world that offers no guarantees will require not only intelligence but also patience, persistence and creativity – qualities on which

our society was built.

And I’m confident such qualities remain our path to better days ahead.

I take joy in seeing young people expressing their progressive political views openly, loudly and nationally. I marvel at the strength of the #MeToo movement and the courage of women to speak up for their rights.

I marvel at the technological achievements our country consistently delivers, perhaps best symbolized by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s red Tesla rocketing into space.

Finally, I look forward to the warmth Mother Nature and our own good natures likely have in store for us. As local weather shows, there are no promises or guarantees – but there’s always hope.

COMMUNICATION CONVERSATION

“Real” News in 2018

I

t’s tough trying to discern what is and isn’t real journalism in 2018, yet democracy demands a citizen endeavor to be as informed as possible to assume the freedom of educated voting.

Journalism is widely defined. My thoughts are largely shaped by my master’s degree training from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York. After that, I was a television news reporter in Detroit, in St. Louis and at CNN in New York City before working 20 years in corporate media training, and nobody ever completely agreed on this topic.

Classically, news should be “new” – something you didn’t know before but now need to know. When I was a news reporter, I always said to myself, “Hey, I’m going to find out what’s going on today while you’re busy at work and tell you on the news tonight.”

Journalists have a responsibility to be honest and fair. A reporter should not go into any story with a preset point of view unless he or she can prove it. We are to be inquisitive about things you want to know.

Good journalism should also affect the most people to be relevant. The six “Big C’s” are important: crime, corruption, catastrophe, chaos, competition and color.

Journalists have a responsibility to be honest and fair. ...

We are to be inquisitive about things you want to know.

Then there are the “three H’s”: health, handbag, heart – because we are all concerned about staying alive, having enough money to pay bills and enjoying stories that affect our emotions.

Then, there’s “breaking news” – in my opinion, the most overhyped term on TV news today. Real breaking news is 9/11, a Syrian airstrike, a wildfire, a mass murder, a plane crash. But when a morning cable TV

By Janis Murray

anchor says, “Breaking news! The Fed is considering raising rates in discussions today,” in my opinion, no, that’s not breaking news. That’s just an effort to grab the increasingly short attention span of a public overloaded by news choices in the 24/7 cycle – a TV station versus your phone. The danger of breaking news becoming a cliché is public inaction when a real crisis occurs.

Most of all, journalists should be “explainers of complicated issues,” a phrase Prof. Fred Friendly, the former president of CBS News, had printed on a card he gave to each of his Columbia students. (I still have mine.) But few reporters can do that in 2018. Digging doesn’t break fast enough when you’re running your own camera and have six live shots to fill per day! But the best keep trying.

LongWay “Little Bit” Goes a

With Rosemary Hanley

By Alice Handelman | Photo courtesy of The Little Bit Foundation

I

n 2001, Rosemary Hanley was helping distribute slightly used coats to students in a St. Louis inner city elementary school when she saw a young boy wearing an oversize leather coat with its sleeves hanging to the ground. “My dad let me wear his coat today,” the boy told her.

Hanley gave the child a navy blue down-filled coat, zipped it up and put his hood on him. Grinning from ear to ear, he told her, “My dad will be so happy I am warm.”

“Something changed in me right then, and I haven’t been able to shake it,” says Hanley, founder and executive director of The Little Bit Foundation. “It was a mystery to me that children who lived 15 minutes from my home in Ladue were not having their basic needs met. At that moment, I knew my life’s purpose.”

Fast-forward to May 12, 2018, when the mother of three was honored with the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. She received the award for founding The Little Bit Foundation, which “helps remove obstacles that stand in the way of students achieving a good education,” she says.

The Ellis Island Medal of Honor, founded by the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations, embodies the spirit of America in its salute to tolerance, brotherhood, diversity and patriotism. Since 1986, seven U.S. presidents, several world leaders, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Jacqueline Onassis, Stan Musial, Muhammad Ali, two Nobel Prize winners and several world leaders are among those who have been so honored.

Hanley says she was overwhelmed with her selection and reminisces about arriving by private ferry to the celebration on Ellis Island, accompanied to the blacktie gala in the Great Hall there by her husband, family and friends.

“I am excited that my award is shining the light on St. Louis and what is good and beautiful here,” Hanley says. “I feel incredibly blessed to be recognized with people who have done so much. My accomplishments are because of people and corporations believing in our children and wanting to help.”

Last year, Hanley was honored as a Woman of Achievement. WOA President Gwendolyn Packnett says: “It is apparent that Rosemary cares about the plight of our children and families. With Rosemary at the helm, the children of our region are guaranteed to experience love, care and concern.”

What began as a coat drive to serve one school with 250 students, The Little Bit Foundation is now a program serving 31 schools and 9,000 children. “Each week, we go into the schools and determine specific needs for each child, and we answer those needs,” Hanley says. “Whether it’s health and wellness or behavioral health support or the most-requested

ask, new underwear and socks, we answer the needs. We make it possible for children to be able to concentrate on their education.”

Today the foundation provides coats, hats, gloves, uniforms, shoes, socks, underwear, books and school supplies to children in the inner city and north St. Louis County. The 501c(3) organization also ensures that students have a nutritious meal after the school day, receive instruction in personal and dental hygiene, and have access to medical screenings and mental health intervention. “When Little Bit is in a school, we see attendance increase, discipline problems decrease and an increase in readiness to learn,” Hanley says. “Everything we do is about the love and dignity for the child.”

She continues: “Our foundation’s name came from a simple thought. If we can do a little bit, we can have a positive impact on the children we serve. It takes a community working together to create change. If everybody does a little bit, we can make a huge difference.”

Ironically and touchingly, a young student who received a coat and gloves from The Little Bit Foundation wrote Hanley a note saying: “I think you should change your name to Big Bits … because you do so much.”

It was a mystery to me that children who lived 15 minutes from my home in Ladue were not having their basic needs met. At that moment, I knew my life’s purpose.

Bound &

DetermineD As president of College Bound, Carol Staenberg now serves 600 students in her mission to propel low-income, first-generation St. Louisans to and through college.

By Alice Handelman | Photo by Sarah Conroy

C

arol Staenberg calls herself a “puzzler.”

Visit her home in Old Town Clayton, and it’s a sure bet you’ll find an intricate jigsaw puzzle that she is working to complete. Also an avid fan of crossword puzzles, she enjoys finding just the right letters to fit into tiny white squares. But those puzzles are just for fun, to challenge her mind. What genuinely distinguishes this Staenberg is the ingenuity, creativity, knowledge and compassion she exhibits to put together the intricate puzzle pieces of helping other people.

Honored as a Woman of Achievement in 2012, she is a tireless volunteer for several nonprofit organizations, ramping up their events, fundraising, visibility and outcomes.

As president of College Bound, she has been a steadfast and powerful leader for the 12-year-old organization. Through a multiyear commitment, College Bound’s mission empowers promising students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve bachelor’s degrees and fulfilling careers. It commits to its students for seven to nine years, increasing ACT scores, mastering Algebra 11 and coping with life cycle events like grief, college financial literacy, first internships, first suits and first jobs.

“Just one adult with a college degree can change the cycle of poverty in a family forever,” says Staenberg, who joined College Bound’s board in 2009. At the time, the organization had 300 students and a dream to propel low-income, first-generation St. Louis students to and through college. Since then, Staenberg has remained a powerful and steadfast leader for the organization, which now serves 600 students through its full-service program.

College Bound’s success rates are astounding. Since its creation in 2006, a perfect 100 percent of its students have graduated from high school. Nationally, just 51 percent of low-income students enter college after graduating high school, but locally, Saint Louis Public Schools graduates matriculate at a rate of 72 percent, while College Bound students enter college at a rate of 93 percent.

Scott Baier, College Bound executive director, lauds Staenberg: “We could not have asked for a more committed chair to lead College Bound. Her thoughtfulness, humor, dedication and smarts are but some of many gifts she’s given us. She breathes our mission. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about how lucky we are to have her time, mind and heart on our team.”

The soft-spoken 61-year-old talks with excitement about College Bound’s Cap and Gown gala on June 9 at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. “Guests will hear the heartfelt voices of a few of our students, whose inspirational stories of their life experiences will inspire the guests of the event to make a donation to help the kids further their aspirations through the College Bound program,” Staenberg says. She’s co-chaired the event for several years to

bring in needed dollars for the students.

“When I listen to our students, I am grateful for how lucky I am to have the life that I do and the parents who nurtured me to be the person I am today,” she says.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Staenberg was the youngest of three children. Her father was a psychiatrist, and her mother reentered school later in life, earning a degree in educational psychology. “They were both active in social justice causes,” she says. “Michael and I have always wanted to be good role models for our three daughters, who all care about volunteering and giving back.”

In addition to College Bound, Staenberg helps put together strategic fundraising pieces at St. Louis’ Holocaust Museum & Learning Center as chair of development. Chairman Myrna Meyer speaks of her with admiration: “Carol has volunteered for the museum for six years. She is that go-to person in our community.

I have had the pleasure of working beside this humble, capable woman over many years and continually find that I can learn from her. She sets high goals for all that she undertakes and has the leadership skills that encourage others to follow in her path.”

The Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry, which provides food, personal-care items and community resource referrals to help individuals and families through difficult times, also benefits from Staenberg’s humanitarian efforts. “I have built meaningful relationships with the volunteers because we all have a commonality: helping those in need,” Staenberg says. “The clients at the pantry are the most thankful and humble people. You want to do what you can to make their lives better, plus make the experience at the pantry a positive one.”

In keeping with Staenberg’s mantra to be healthy in mind, body and spirit, she enjoys reading, travel and exercise. “I enjoy traveling, cycling and skiing in Steamboat Springs, Colorado,” Staenberg says.

She applauds her husband’s entrepreneurial and philanthropic spirit. “Michael has influenced me; he inspires me with the amount of time he spends giving back,” she says. “Because of him, I always want to do more. We both believe strongly in social responsibility. It is so easy to write a check. What we thrive on is making relationships and understanding what someone else might be going through. Helping others feels good for me. It gives me a purpose in life beyond myself.”

hree women, two generations, one booming domain. Marta Gaska always dreamed big, but she never imagined how her ambitions would influence those around and closest to her.

“I started [in the fashion business when I was] very young and it was tough,” Gaska recalls. “I’m fortunate to have two two amazing women – my daughters – following in my footsteps. It’s so encouraging. My kids have such a passion for this, and I know that, even if I step away tomorrow, my business will not change in any way, thanks to them.”

A humble upbringing instilled savvy sensibilities in this family’s matriarch, and, today, Gaska owns and operates Marta’s Boutique in Ellisville. Her daughters, Lauren Musgrove and Tania Rakel, manage the operations of Gaska’s second store, MOD, which spans across St. Louis and Columbia,

Missouri, with six locations.

“Marta has inspired me in business by showing that you must put 100 percent forward every single day,” Musgrove says. “She came from little-to-nothing, from growing up with dirt floors to creating a fashion empire.

My loved ones motivate me.”

In business for 35 years, Marta’s Boutique offers a timeless appeal. With name brands and dedicated service, the shop has proven to offer an irresistible combination to women, ages 30 and older. MOD also delights shoppers, with on-trend items, reasonable prices and multiple weekly deliveries of new goodies to peruse.

“Even though we are a younger company, most of the girls on the MOD team started with us and have stayed,” Musgrove boasts. “In order for women to grow, other women have to believe in them. We’re all about growing the individuals within our company. Kailey Vojas was our first employee. We interviewed her while sitting on folding chairs and told her, ‘The sky’s the limit with this company. If you believe in us, we believe in you.’ She is now our head buyer.”

Musgrove has learned her own invaluable lessons from running a business. “Put your heart into it,” she advises. “Every time you feel as if you are failing, [think of it as] the next step forward.

Put everything in a positive light and look at it as a learning experience.”

Gaska’s story epitomizes the American dream.

She became successful through her own tenacity and vision, and she now shares that spirit with her family and other female entrepreneurs.

The complete fixed-priced dinner includes more than 15 different grilled meats and a 50-item salad area in addition to a full bar and à la carte desserts.

for more than 200. The modern interior design features crimson walls, chandeliers, a wine cellar and a lavish floral arrangement above the salad area, from which guests can choose to dine exclusively for a different rate or to pair with the full grilled-meat service.

“It’s continuous dining,” says corporate training manager Carlos Restrepo. “We invite our guests to help themselves to the salad area, which has everything from sushi and salami to lobster bisque.

When they’re ready, we have ‘gauchos’ that parade various cuts of beef, pork, chicken, lamb and Brazilian sausages to the tables.”

Guests control their experience with a simple twosided token; its green side lets servers know more meat

By Mabel Suen options are welcome at the table, while its red side lets diners take a break. The spit-roasted, charcoalgrilled meat, which is seasoned simply with rock salt, is presented and carved on large skewers. Guests can choose from Brazilian picanha (sirloin), lamb chops, chicken breasts wrapped in bacon, Parmesan-crusted pork loin, Brazilian sausages and many more.

At the gourmet salad area, options include imported cheeses, shrimp salad, feijoada (a black bean dish), garlic mashed potatoes, the Middle Eastern salad tabbouleh, smoked salmon, charcuterie, a variety of prepared vegetables and more. Additional meal accompaniments include cheese bread and fried bananas. À la carte dessert options include Brazilian

cheesecake, crème brûlée, flan and papaya cream.

From the bar, patrons can choose among a large selection of wines, including Texas de Brazil’s own private-label varietals bottled by Santa Rita Vineyards in Chile. Signature cocktails include a traditional Brazilian caipirinha.

“We’re very happy to be in St. Louis,” Restrepo says. “We’ve had great feedback so far from our guests. We hope to be a big part of the community and are definitely looking for local charities to partner with in the future.”

‌Story: Violetta Valéry, the toast of the jet set in 1930s Paris, hosts numerous parties there with her vivacious friend Flora Bervoix. Violetta, the best-known courtesan among France’s aristocratic society, enjoys being a material girl.

When she suddenly takes ill with a coughing spell at one of her soirees, though, Alfredo Germont, a quiet young man from the bourgeois class, beseeches her to flee Paris with him to his country villa. Alfredo tells Violetta that he is in love with her and wants to care for her there.

At first, Violetta laughs him off, but she becomes enchanted with Alfredo’s earnest devotion and eventually moves with him from the city. They seem happy enough, but one day Alfredo’s father, Giorgio, visits Violetta and – concerned what might happen to his beloved daughter’s reputation if her brother continues to cavort with such a scandalous woman – issues her an ultimatum.

Reluctantly, Violetta returns alone to Paris and resumes her nightlife in the company of her former lover, Baron Douphol. When Alfredo learns she has left, he finds her in Paris and humiliates her in public, throwing money at her in “payment” for her services, and then challenges Douphol to a duel. Giorgio learns of all of this and, appalled at his son’s behavior toward Violetta, admonishes Alfredo in front of the partiers.

Violetta returns to her Parisian home, increasingly ill with tuberculosis. She learns that Alfredo has survived the duel and also that his father has admitted his own headstrong insistence that Violetta leave Alfredo. Soon, Alfredo returns for a brief but heartfelt reconciliation with his dying love.

Highlights: Opera Theatre of Saint Louis opens its 2018 season with a lush, beautiful and enchanting rendition of noted composer Giuseppe Verdi’s perennially popular opera, cleverly conceived and directed by Patricia Racette.

Other Info: La Traviata (The Fallen Woman) premiered in Venice in 1853, featuring the music of Verdi and a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. That libretto was based on a book and play by Alexandre Dumas fils, son of the author of The Three Musketeers, titled La Dame aux Camélias (The Lady of the Camellias).

The local troupe uses the English translation by Edmund Tracey.

Dumas’ drama took its inspiration from his own brief romance with the ill-fated Marie Duplessis, who died of consumption at age 23. Duplessis was known in French society in the 19th century as a highly polished courtesan whose signature look included camellia flowers.

This production marks a record-tying fifth main-stage presentation (with La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini)

by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis and one with an especially intriguing look. Following fledgling director Racette’s vision, scenic designer Laura Jellinek features

By Mark Bretz

a background of slowly unfolding camellia petals, which allow for an entrance at the rendition’s beginning as well as its fateful conclusion.

Racette’s smart, stylish direction keeps the three-act, 2¾-hour presentation moving not only briskly but also enchantingly. She benefits from a trio of superb singers in the primary roles of Violetta, Alfredo and Giorgio, as well as the smart choreography conceived by Sean Curran for the party scenes.

Sydney Mancasola not only looks stunning as the free-spirited Violetta but also shapes her wonderful soprano around Verdi’s soaring arias for his leading lady. She also displays a strong chemistry with Geoffrey Agpalo, a tenor who shows conviction in the part of the devoted young lover, as well as demonstrating his own musical talent in the role. Both performers offer convincing portrayals of opposites attracting.

South Korean baritone Joo Won Kang makes an impressive main-stage debut for the troupe with a powerful performance as the straight-laced Giorgio, whose demands wreak havoc both for his son and for Violetta before he experiences a change of heart.

Kang lends his considerable vocal talents to Verdi’s strong compositions.

The fine supporting cast includes Briana Hunter as the fun-loving Flora, Jeff Byrnes as the villainous baron, Simona Rose Genga as Violetta’s faithful maid, Matthew Dalen as a pal of Alfredo’s and Andrew Munn as Violetta’s physician. Samson McCrady, Philippe L’Esperance, Gregory Feldmann and William Guanbo Su do well in other roles.

The final season for departing general director Timothy O’Leary (who’s being succeeded July 2

by Andrew Jorgensen) is off to an auspicious and invigorating start with Racette’s polished version of La Traviata.

The Wine Life WHAT I AM DRINKING NOW…

By Stanley Browne

‌2015 BALBÁS, CRIANZA – RIBERA DEL DUERO, SPAIN Grape: 90% Tempranillo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon Owner: Juan José Balbás Aged: 18 months in French oak, 12 months in bottle Approximate Retail Price: $26 TASTING NOTES: Color: Dark garnet red Aroma: Dark red fruits, vanilla wraps around pepper and leather Taste: Dark cherries, plums, currants, spice notes and lush, juicy mouthfeel with balanced tannins and a lingering finish

T

he Ribera del Duero DO (Denominación de Origen) in northern Spain boasts a history rich in making wines, with Benedictine monks from Burgundy establishing vineyards there in the 12th century. Located along a plateau and

the DO’s namesake river, Bodegas Balbás dates back to 1777 and remains familyowned into its sixth generation. Balbás, in fact, numbered among the original nine wineries to help establish the DO in 1982.

Like our own, this region has an extreme climate of scorching summers and cold winters. The main grape of the region is tempranillo, known as tinto fino; however, the DO allows the blending of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and malbec. Traditional tempranillo wines and the blended wines have achieved world recognition for the DO as a top-producing wine region.

Balbás owns around 200 acres around the village of La Horra, with vineyards planted between 2,000 and 3,000 feet above sea level with lime and chalk soils to give a high mineral content and acidity to the wines.

Tempranillo loves both American and French oak, and it remains critical to match the wine with the best oak suited to that wine. Balbás pays careful attention to barrel

selection and toasting alike to give its wine the best complexities.

Balbás makes wines under four different labels: Balbás, Ardal, Ritus and Alitus – depending on the terroir and the style of wine (traditional versus modern).

The winery takes its best vineyards and separate small plots (pagos) to showcase the best grapes for that terroir. Balbás crianza ages in oak six months more than legally required for crianza. Also, the 45-year-old vines display good intensity of fruit.

Food Pairings: Tempranillos vary in oak from heavy to none, so the more the oak, the earthier the tones in the food required.

Think braised beef, duck, game birds, grilled lamb, and mushrooms.

“In addition, we reached out to architecture and design firms, museums, schools, university art and architecture programs and other art and architecture organizations to help us spread the word,” Lahs-Gonzales says. “Each winning design received a $1,000 materials stipend and a $500 honorarium this year.

“There will also be a public contest over the summer to determine a winning hole. The winning hole, chosen by members of the public who play the course or visit the galleries, will receive $1,000.”

“Golf the Galleries” includes everything from a bit of topological trickery reminiscent of the works of M.C. Escher, the 20th-century Dutch master of perceptual depravity, through a lie that under other circumstances could have graced Ringworld, Larry Niven’s much-lauded 1970 science fiction novel, to a salute to two classic children’s books visualized by Sir John Tenniel, the great 19thcentury English illustrator, graphic humorist and political cartoonist.

The titles and creators of the exhibition’s individual holes follow: Hole 1, Warped Tour

by Andy VanMater of CannonDesign; Hole 2, Distortion by Arcturis; Hole 3, Mate in Four by the World Chess Hall of Fame; Hole 4, Alice by Natalie Pinson; Hole 5, Over the Moonbow by Gray for Scale (Ashley Kaempf and Chris Goodin); Hole 6, Hole 4, Alice by Natalie Pinson.

Also, running concurrent with “Golf the Galleries” are two smaller second-floor exhibitions: “Mini Golf: Photographs,” photos of mini and “adventure” golf sites in the U.K. by British photographer Simon Martin, and “Mini-Mini Golf Holes,” shoeboxsized miniatures by fifth-grade math students from The Wilson School in Clayton.

When asked to cite which of the nine holes in “Golf the Galleries” most

72

MAy 25, 2018 | LadueNews.com

intrigues her as an art aficionado, Lahs-Gonzales pauses thoughtfully. “Each has unique features that will be enjoyed by all,” she says. “There are several ‘immersive’ experiences, including Natalie Pinson’s Alice hole, based on [Lewis Carroll’s] Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Justin King’s Serengeti Park hole, with a group of really cool large, cardboard animals. Gray for Scale’s black-light hole, called Over the Moonbow, is sure to please and make players glow; B.J. Vogt’s There’s a Hole in the Anthropocene is probably the only one with an art/social message, as it speaks about our influence on the environment with a volcano that spews packing peanuts; and Charlie Houska’s Swimming With the Fishes is superfun and colorful, as his work always is!”

Otherwise, Lahs-Gonzales contemplates a similar question from the perspective of a golfing enthusiast mulling the holes’ challenges. “They are all challenging in their own way, but the architecture and design firms Arcturis, CannonDesign and Switch all have holes that employ interesting architectural and design strategies,” she says.

“Arcturis uses mirrors to fool the player, CannonDesign’s is a beautiful honeycomb structure that can go easy or difficult, depending on what side your ball goes on, and Switch lets you be a giant downtown, playing through the Arch. And of course, the chess museum’s hole is all about strategy as well as education, as it pits the elements of the ‘mate in four’ chess problem – getting checkmate in four moves – against the golfer, who has to navigate around the pieces of the problem to get to the holes.”

In short, for everyone from duffers to pros, from its first tee to its last putt, “Golf the Galleries” at The Sheldon may well constitute an artistic ace.
