With seasonal heat just starting to spike, a bit of visual cool – like this lovely, stylized palm tree/desert island wallpaper – should provide a modicum of soothing ocular balm, as noted by Nancy Robinson, LN’s doyenne of home décor.

St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood just greeted Suitsupply, an international menswear retailer seeking to increase the local supply of what the Italians call sprezzatura, in this piece by LN copy editor and staff writer Bryan A. Hollerbach.

On the cover 10 “Although relatively new to St. Louis, Stonecrest has a stellar history and reputation,” says Doreen Scarfino, community relations manager of the company’s newest assisted living and memory care community in Wildwood. With its first round of residents settled in and a grand opening set for June 28 from 4 to 6 p.m., Stonecrest of Wildwood is already providing exemplary senior living care to the west St. Louis County area.

EDITOR ‌ONE OF MY FAVORITE POST-WORK ACTIVITIES THESE DAYS IS spending time with my little boy in our backyard, soaking up the last bit of sun. I usually sit in an Adirondack chair close to his side, while he splashes in his baby water table, giggling away.

The giggles that fill the air simply melt away the stresses of the day, and I love that I can sit comfortably by his side.

Outdoor furniture is certainly a must – regardless of whether it’s used to enjoy a couple of quiet moments or to help keep a dozen or so visitors comfy during a gathering – and local experts are ready to help you find the perfect furniture for your needs. Starting on p. 26, LN contributing writer Lauren Smith shares what our experts see trending in everything outdoor furniture!

Also in this week’s edition, make sure to check out what St. Louis institution is turning a whopping 100 years old this year! Spoiler alert: It’s The Muny. Learn more about its history and upcoming season, beautifully shared by LN theater critic Mark Bretz (p. 70).

A Community “A

S e t

A p A r t

t Stonecrest of Wildwood, it’s our mission to ensure that residents are comfortable, healthy and thriving,” declares Doreen Scarfino, community relations manager at the newly opened assisted living and memory care community.

Although it operates senior living communities in Town and Country and Clayton, Stonecrest is still relatively new to the St. Louis area. With the recent opening of Stonecrest of Wildwood, the Kansas City-based company aims to fill a void in senior living care west of St. Louis County. “Stonecrest of Wildwood sits at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, and blends city and country living in a comfortable setting,” says Scarfino. “We’re located farther west, where it’s quiet and serene.”

On April 23, Stonecrest of Wildwood welcomed its inaugural wave of residents with orchids, enthusiasm and personal tours of their new home. “We had been in the building here alone for a while, so we were anxious for them to arrive,” enthuses Scarfino of the first four women who moved into the assisted living complex. The community’s house pet, a border collie named Henry, was also on hand to greet the newcomers with a friendly woof and sniff.

Comprised of 49 private studio, one- and two-bedroom suites, Stonecrest of Wildwood’s first two floors are devoted to assisted living. The building’s secured third floor, which numbers 32 studio and shared suite apartments, is home to the Bridges Memory Care household. With 14 current occupants, and more arriving in June, Stonecrest of Wildwood will be able to serve up to 94 residents at double-occupancy.

Featuring high ceilings, grand picture windows and luxurious accents, like granite countertops, the community’s apartments are modern, spacious and bright. Residents are treated to a host of amenities, including a 24-hour on-site nursing staff, laundry and housekeeping services, and complimentary transportation for doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping and other off-site activities.

One of the community’s most popular features is its chefinspired Culinary by Choice program. Overseen by executive chef

Jason Goza, Stonecrest of Wildwood’s restaurant-style dining room serves three meals per day from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. “Residents can eat whatever they want at any time,” notes Scarfino. “If they’d like, they can have breakfast for dinner, which isn’t always possible at other communities.”

The pet-friendly complex also boasts outdoor living spaces, a fitness and wellness center, a media center and a retail salon, which offers massage therapy treatments. The community’s prime location in the Wildwood Town Center also provides additional activities for residents to enjoy. This summer, they will be able to shop at the local farmers’ market on weekends, as well as attend Music on Main, Wildwood’s monthly outdoor concert series.

“We’ve already seen a lot of participation from the Wildwood community,” adds Scarfino. “We’re part of the Wildwood Business Association and we often incorporate area businesses into our events. We like to keep everything local.”

On Thursday, June 28, Stonecrest of Wildwood’s executive director, Susan McClenahan, will be joined by the mayor of Wildwood, representatives from the West County Chamber of Commerce and others to celebrate the community’s grand opening. From 4 to 6 p.m., local community members, residents, family and friends will be treated to an evening of live music, cocktails and delectable eats, prepared by Goza. The official ribbon-cutting will take place at 4:30 p.m., thereby cementing Stonecrest of Wildwood as the area’s premier community for vibrant senior living care.

Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

or more than 40 years, Rainbow Village has been providing long-term, affordable quality neighborhood homes for people with developmental disabilities. This year’s 22nd annual Somewhere Over the Rainbow Dinner & Gala celebrated not only all that Rainbow Village has accomplished but also the unprecedented growth it has seen during four-plus decades.

Guests gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis downtown for cocktails, dinner, a program and awards, after which many fantastic live auction items were presented.

I think one of the things that’s been most impressive to me about Rainbow Village and especially for our family is how Rainbow Village provides forever homes to adults with developmental disabilities. So our son Tom hopefully one day will have the opportunity to live in a Rainbow home, and we’ll have the comfort of knowing that Tom will have a safe place to live that’s well maintained and that will be a place that he can live forever and not have to worry about not having a place.

Moreover, local retailers have an array of outdoor furniture perfect for alleviating the area’s dreaded seasonal seizures.

In that light, three local experts – from Amini’s, Patriot Sunrooms & Home Solutions, and Summer Classics by Forshaw – recently chatted with LN about this summer’s hottest trends in all things outdoorsy.

A Thoroughbred Ex-Stable

By Abi Peche | Photos supplied by Mosby Building Arts

O

riginally a century-old stable, this Ladue home, with each passing generation, expanded to fit the needs of the growing family. Effecting an exterior transformation thus posed a problem, because the homeowners wanted to pay tribute to the house’s complex history while presenting a cohesive look for that exterior in toto.

This exterior makeover included replacing fairly common siding with a custom option, installing a new roof and doors, adding new window trim and designing a beautiful new front porch. From the front-entry gable to the equestrian wind vane, the transformation involved not only reflecting the abode’s original architecture and style but also updating the exterior components to modern needs and functionality.

To reflect the house’s heritage and to create a continuous residential flow, the siding replacement proved essential to the design. That consideration

led to installing LP SmartSide siding from Nashville, Tennessee’s LP Building Products. A higher-end option, in the present instance it consisted of a custom shade of blue to create a premium finish.

Replacing the siding on the original house and on additions to it gave the structure a finished, consistent look.

The roof replacement involved designer shingles to add to the house’s historical appearance – specifically, craftsman-style elements – and complemented the premium finish of the siding. New doors were installed, as was trim around the windows, to update the exterior’s style and function.

The goal of designing the front porch centered on returning the front entry gable to its prior stateliness and grandeur. The new columns with stone bases matched the new stone walkway, and the stained beadboard ceiling complemented the new stained front door. With this new front porch, in fact, visitors seemingly stroll back in time as they enter the house.

WHO’S WHO IN REAL ESTATE: E: Feature Story 8 EdgEwood Road

s m a e r D

With an immaculate stone façade, gables and green spaces, exploring the Ladue property at 8 Edgewood Road is like stepping onto the grounds of an English country house, complete with a croquet pitch. This stonework continues inside, with the home’s grand center hall, which rests beneath a 24-foot cathedral ceiling. Sophistication catches you at every turn, with reclaimed elements blending into the aesthetic.

The living room showcases a stone fireplace alcove, beamed ceilings and French doors that lead to the sunroom. The marble kitchen opens to the dining, garden and family rooms. Select your favorite vino from the wine room, then relax inside the marble bath of the incredible master suite, with his-and-hers closets and a beamed cathedral ceiling. The $3.25 million property, with five bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, will make you feel as if you are on holiday.

hat is the tradition behind the name John Ryan, you ask?

The Ryan Tradition testifies to a 50-plus-year legacy of excellence in the real estate industry. That experience translates into top-rate client service, and a reputation for buying and selling the most extraordinary homes in the St. Louis area. “Our work culture is based on the Golden Rule,” describes Ryan. “Always treat clients, coworkers and other agents the way you would like to be treated.”

That formula seems to be working. Explore what his team has to offer.

10 EdgEwood Road Located in Ladue, 10 Edgewood Road has you feeling like you’ve arrived at the Hamptons. Spread across almost 4.5 acres, the excellent exterior offers adjoining decks, multiple brick terraces, a covered outdoor room and a pool. The interior reveals a hearth room and breakfast area adjoining the family room, which boasts a 14-foot cathedral ceiling, fireplace and arched windows. The kitchen features top-ofthe-line appliances, as well as limestone and granite accents. The lower level proves enticing, with a recreation area, wine room, arcade and more. This $4.45 million home, with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, is the best kind of escape.

A representative of a new-to-the-area haberdashery discusses the joys of looking like a million bucks – without spending nearly that much.

“W

e at Suitsupply are all about finding the perfect fit,” Nish de Gruiter, vice president of that Amsterdam-based North American company, relates by phone from his New York office. “We are making sure that everybody who walks into our store gets a perfect fit.

We tailor things on the spot. … It’s all about fit – that’s the bottom line.”

Even though he’s basically just jetted back to the Big Apple from Holland, de Gruiter sounds über-stoked about menswear in general and his international company in particular. That company features fabrics all crafted in high-end mills in the town of Biella in northern Italy and, for an average two-piece, offers three

distinct price points: the Blue Line starting at $399, the Purple Line ranging from $469 to $569 (with some three-pieces at $599) and the Red Line starting at $639.

Reflecting a stray build-out here and there, the company lists on its website almost 100 stores internationally in megalopolises like Berlin, London, Milan and Shanghai and three dozen in the United States alone – including one that opened just yesterday, Thursday, May 31, in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood.

Why here? Well, de Gruiter notes, a ZIP code analysis and other metrics from Suitsupply’s Chicago operation revealed that a noticeable number of its customers, in both “bricks” and “clicks,” call the metro area home.

After that revelation came more than two years of planning, he continues, including evaluating multiple

potential locations locally.

“Once we found this historical building, it was love at first sight,” de Gruiter says. “It was in a beautiful area. It had all the right ‘bones’ for us to move forward.”

He estimates the public area of the local Suitsupply at almost 3,500 square feet, adding: “It’s just right off the main strip, but it creates a little character. It’s a beautiful destination store, where clients can take their time and get the perfect fit.”

That destination store, de Gruiter says, “holds a full collection. We can outfit a guy for seven days a week, basically. … If we don’t have your size in stock, which is a rare occasion, we can have that delivered within two to three business days to the store to get it tailored, or we can ship directly to your house from the store. We try to

A Closet

Confidence

So what does a haberdasher nab when he needs to dash but still wants to look dashing?

Nish de Gruiter – vice president of the international menswear retailer Suitsupply – reflects on that question only an instant before formulating an answer.

“I have a navy travel suit, and the travel suit is totally deconstructed,” he says. “While making the travel suit, they spun the yarn so tight, it always bounces back to its original shape – so it doesn’t wrinkle.

“It’s deconstructed, so there’s no lining; it feels like a shirt. When I put it on – with a T-shirt, with a crewneck, with a turtleneck or with a button-down – it always looks good. You can dress it up in the wintertime or dress it down in the summertime, and that’s my go-to piece.”

Regarding that sartorial prodigy, de Gruiter continues: “It’s navy, so you wear the pants on their own, you can wear the jacket on its own, you can wear it with sneakers. I’m really a huge advocate of that particular piece because it’s just so easy that you can’t go wrong.

“You’re going to that 6½-, 7-hour flight to Amsterdam, you put that suit on, you walk out of the plane – hey, you look like a million bucks!”

make it as convenient as possible for the client.”

Suitsupply offers its namesake product, jackets and coats, casual and other shirts, ties, knitwear, waistcoats, trousers and shorts, and eveningwear, grouping men’s body types and their apparel in a quartet of categories: slim, average, athletic and “rounder.” Among other popular authorities, both Esquire and GQ have praised the retailer, which Netherlands entrepreneur Fokke de Jong founded in 2000.

“You know, guys are known for not planning ahead,” de Gruiter says with a laugh. “On its own and the service that we offer, we are quite unique in the market – to buy a suit, to walk out with it in the same day, to get it tailored on the spot.”

In that respect, he touts Suitsupply’s “decent-sized staff and tailors that will work seven days a week to make sure you get served well.” The company trains its sales staff, who occupy a central station in-house, at a Dallas “suit school” for roughly two weeks, de Gruiter says.

Such trained personnel rank as integral to Suitsupply’s operations, he continues, because “to get the right fit, you have to look at construction. It’s not

that you just take in the side seams and it will fit well – it’s about how a suit is constructed.”

Complementing matters of convenience and construction, de Gruiter says, are aspects of control, by both educated, sophisticated consumers and Suitsupply itself. “If you think about a suit, it’s never an impulse buy,” he says. “It’s something that you research on the internet, or your friends tell you about it, or your wife pulls you out of the garden and tells you you have to go buy a new suit, so you have a very focused customer coming in.”

For control by the company, “vertical integration” ranks as a core component, de Gruiter continues: “How people used to retail in a traditional manner, like the big department stores, with a bunch of middlemen in between who would go to trade shows and then go to another retailer, another wholesaler – we cut all these things out.

“We produce a manufactured design and everything in-house, and it goes straight from the factory to the store. … It cuts out a lot of cost, and at the end, the consumer doesn’t pay that. So that model – what they call ‘disruptive,’ basically – it’s a new way of bringing goods to

the final consumer.”

With spring effectively eons old from a sartorial standpoint, de Gruiter also sketches what that final consumer can anticipate for the coming menswear season. “In our suit collection for fall, you’ll see a lot of products with very ‘soft’ tailoring, soft shoulders, patch pockets,” he says, adding that such tailoring will allow Suitsupply customers to adapt almost any outfit to workaday office demands or weekend diversions. De Gruiter also foresees “very rich colors, very nice deep dark browns, tobaccos, emerald green, camel’s hair – it’s a very warm and eclectic collection that’s coming up this fall.”

Beyond convenience, construction and control, he concludes with one final “c” concept: contentment. The Central West End Suitsupply, de Gruiter says, “doesn’t feel like a traditional suit store. … We have a layout that gets very energetic, and it puts a whole new energy to the market. So when you walk into the store, it puts a smile on your face.”

Summer Skin Care

D

By Kimmie Gotch

ermal needs vary with each season, making it imperative to care for your skin accordingly.

Just as our wardrobes change from winter to summer, our skin care products and procedures also need to change. Heavy facial cream used in winter’s cold to combat dry skin, for instance, may be altogether unnecessary during summer’s heat. In that light, make sure to protect your skin from summer ravages by taking one or more of the following steps: Use a light moisturizer. When St. Louis’ infamous humidity turns the area atmosphere all hot and sticky – as it does only every now and then – your face hardly needs a thick, heavy cream.

Instead, opt for a lightweight moisturizer to hydrate your skin.

Cut back on exfoliating. Normally, exfoliation rocks. In the coming season’s heat, though, overexfoliation can yield extremely sensitive skin that’s prone to sun damage. Exfoliating once a week in summer remains safe – just don’t overdo it.

Swap foundation for BB cream. Summer demands trading heavy creams for lighter

moisturizers, as well as trading heavy foundations for lighter BB creams. A BB cream (whether defined as “blemish balm,” “blemish base” or “beauty balm”) evens skin tone just like foundation, but its greater lightness compared to a foundation makes it the perfect summertime facial product.

Wear an SPF product daily. Although something that should be done each day regardless of the season, making a product with SPF (sun protection factor) your BFF becomes vital during summer. Luckily, many cosmetic products incorporate SPF – the average face cream, foundation, primer and setting spray, say – leaving you no excuse not to embrace the SPF way daily.

Protect your lips. Yes, ladies, even your lips need summer solar protection! Because sunburned lips can hurt a lot, avoid that pain by protecting them each day by applying a lip balm that contains SPF. In summertime sum, pay attention to your skin, and adjust your dermal routine as needed. Taking care of your skin remains important year-round, perhaps never more so than during months when more of it enjoys more exposure than usual to potential solar complications!

10 THOUGHTS

By Frank Cusumano

‌Here are a few things I’ve been thinking about lately: 314.313.1779

jen@rosscrossrealtor.com

1.

I sure wish I had a vibe on the Cardinals. I don’t even know if the team’s management has a real feel. The decline of Matt Carpenter is troubling. It’s too early to say he’s finished, but it’s not to believe we’ve seen the best of him. He should never bat third. He should either hit leadoff or hit seventh.

2.

The solution for the Cardinals at third base is playing baseball in Baltimore – and his name is Manny Machado. They may end up being the worst team in the American League; however, Machado is going to be a free agent at the end of the season.

I don’t think he’s going to sign long term with the Cardinals, but I do think the Cardinals organization is so loaded with young pitching talent that they could put together a great package to get him.

3.

I believe that the best arms in the organization should be on the St. Louis roster, not the Memphis Redbird roster. I realize you want to stretch out some of your talented young pitchers and help them develop as starters; however, there comes a time where you must have your best arms on this roster.

4.

Jayson Tatum’s rookie season was simply remarkable. The 20-year-old scored 20 in a Game 7 versus the Bucks. I think 10 years from now, the all-time St. Louis team will be Brad Beal and Jo Jo White at the guard spots, Jayson Tatum and Ed Macauley at the forward spots, and the best center to ever come from this area is Steve Stipanovich.

5.

I really love the idea of getting rid of the one-and-dones in college basketball – let me explain. These players have the school’s name across their chest, and they’re called student athletes by the NCAA. However, many of them just go to class the first semester and then blow off school the second semester while they’re technically representing the school on national television two times a week. Besides, if a really talented kid wants to make a living playing basketball at age 18, he should be given that opportunity.

6.

7.

I can’t get enough of Billions. It has moved into my all-time list. Others on the list: House of Cards, Breaking Bad, Ozark and The Americans.

My interest in the NFL draft has always been about a nine or a 10. This year, it was a two. I still love the product on a Sunday afternoon, but I can no longer get myself interested in an offensive tackle from Georgia.

A retirement plan isn’t complete until you include taxes.

8.

Sometimes I play the what-if game. For instance, let’s just say that Cam Newton was born a year earlier, and the Rams had a chance to draft him instead of Sam Bradford. Let’s say you had a healthy Cam Newton winning MVPs, taking your team to the playoffs and going to the Pro Bowl as the face of your franchise. Your stadium is filled, and the atmosphere’s incredible. Would it have been that easy for Jed Clampett – I mean, Stan Kroenke to move the team?

9.

We lost the great Barbara Bush. There was so much to admire about her, but the best was her one line: “No one on their deathbed has ever said I would have spent more time at work.” I think about that line all the time. I just wish I lived it more often.

10.

Things that are simply the best: a Sam Cavato suit, watching a child achieve a goal after a lot of hard work, listening to a Rick Warren sermon online, a Bill Simmons podcast and a night out once a week with your bride.

Vaping Dangers

E

-cigarettes – sometimes also known as “e-cigs” and electronic nicotine delivery systems, or ENDS – have been available and popular for several years.

Many adults use ENDS as a tool to help break a smoking habit. In a more controversial turn, however, 2016 data shows 11 percent of high schoolers and more than 4 percent of middle school students have used ENDS, accounting for more than 2 million regular users. Moreover, rather than using such devices to quit smoking tobacco, adolescents appear to use ENDS as a tool to begin the habit.

The availability of appealing vapor flavors and the thought that e-cigs are “safe” likely appeal to such younger users. Also, the newer devices have shrunk – making them easily mistakable for a USB flash drive and thus hidden from parents – and pack a more powerful nicotine punch. ENDS, significantly, produce no telltale smoke like conventional cigarettes; instead, they heat liquid, often flavored and containing addictive nicotine, into a vapor that a user inhales.

A study published in the April 2018 Journal

A study published in the April 2018 Journal of Pediatrics found that teens who “vape” expose themselves to dangerous chemicals. of Pediatrics found that teens who “vape” expose themselves to dangerous chemicals. Some of these chemicals – such as propylene glycol, the active component in antifreeze – constitute known carcinogens. In addition, the nicotine often contained in the vaporized liquid remains highly addictive and has been proven to harm brain development

in children and teens. The liquid nicotine’s also extremely toxic, and there have been reports of deaths by poisoning of small children who drank the flavored stuff.

Last but scarcely least, although it hasn’t yet been tested, a suggestion is circulating that exposure to secondhand vapor can pose just as many health dangers as exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke.

In light of all of the preceding, parents, talk with your children about vaping so they understand it doesn’t represent a safer alternative to smoking tobacco. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents and physicians make adolescents aware of the dangers of vaping, in addition to those of cigarette smoking.

St. Louis Jewish Film

Feſtival With Jeffrey Korn

W

hen Jeffrey Korn retired in 2001 from a successful career in the women’s shoe business, he found giving tours to kids at the Saint Louis Zoo to be his favorite activity. “I wanted to do something meaningful and pleasurable with my time,” he says.

For 12 years, he volunteered as a docent at the zoo. “My favorite animal of all time is the okapi,” Korn says. “With the legs of a zebra, the body of a horse and head of a giraffe, I loved showing the okapi to the children. I have always enjoyed making kids happy.”

Blue-eyed with bushy eyebrows and gray hair, Korn stands 5 feet, 10 inches tall. Now 80, he says that although he cherished his years at the zoo, the miles of walking eventually became too strenuous for him, and he felt compelled to leave.

As fate would have it, though, Korn then was approached by the St. Louis Jewish Community Center to serve on a committee for its St. Louis Jewish Film Festival. “I was invited to go to screenings to help select films for the festival, which is a lot of fun,” he says. “I was hooked.”

As a result, in fact, Korn is co-chairing the eighth consecutive year of the film festival.

“Jeffrey is passionate about the festival,” says Zelda Sparks, the center’s arts and culture director. “He is willing to ask anyone to support the festival, whether it is asking for sponsorship contributions or businesses for raffle prizes. He spreads the word about the films that he loves and sends his list out to a wide circle of friends and family.”

The festival attracts approximately 3,000 moviegoers each year, and Korn is excited about the 2018 opening on Sunday, June 3, at Landmark Theatres Plaza Frontenac Cinema. The festival continues there through June 7, with its celebration of Jewish life through 16 documentary and feature films. Korn’s cochairs are Marilyn Brown and Paula Sigel.

“While all films depict a slice of the Jewish experience, the films are universal and meant to be appealing to all, regardless of faith,” he says. Two of his own favorite movies to be shown are opening night’s Sammy Davis Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me, a look at the famed Hollywood Rat Pack entertainer, and Itzhak, the story of masterful violinist and polio survivor Itzhak Perlman.

“Jeffrey’s inspirational leadership has been instrumental in the Jewish Film Festival’s tremendous growth during his tenure as co-chair,” Lynn Wittels, the center’s president and CEO, says. “Jeffrey has helped to create a wonderful

committee that is incredibly dedicated to the success of the festival.”

Raffles will take place prior to each movie, and Korn says the prizes include a wide array of items, including jewelry, car washes, haircuts and restaurant gift cards.

After losing his wife, Letty, to cancer in 2005, Korn says he didn’t know if he would find true love again. “I am a very lucky man,” he continues, having remarried in 2008, to Elaine Medve at Creve Coeur’s Congregation Temple Israel. “I love my life today. Elaine is a terrific wife, a gourmet cook and takes good care of me. She is also an amazing real estate agent.” The couple lives in a house in Clayton, where the father of three says, “It is wonderful to have combined two loving families with a total of 13 grandchildren.”

Look for Korn at the forthcoming festival at Plaza Frontenac. He’ll be the dapper gentleman with the charming smile and South African accent, who will be greeting the crowd and perhaps selling you and other attendees a few raffle tickets.

While all films depict a slice of the Jewish experience, the films are ... meant to be appealing to all, regardless of faith.

Will ...

WHERE THERE’S a

Beyond all the other nuances and complexities of an estate plan, local experts strongly suggest focusing on a quartet of basics – explained here.

D

espite the importance of estate planning, it daunts many people. Just the number of terms and tools available can make your head spin.

“Estate planning allows an individual to manage and direct where assets are to be distributed upon their death, but [it] also lets an individual plan in order to mitigate or reduce income and estate tax, protect families with young children, save money on court costs and attorneys’ fees associated with not having an estate plan, and plan for end of life,” says Meredith Murphy, an attorney with SmithAmundsen’s Estate and Business Planning Practice Group in Clayton.

Christopher Castellanos, an attorney specializing in trusts and estates with Lashly & Baer, P.C., in downtown St. Louis, adds that “the Missouri legislature has provided defaults regarding who will inherit your assets, look after your children, etc., but you might want to alter those defaults.”

Castellanos recommends focusing on four basic elements of an estate plan: a revocable living trust, a will, a power of attorney and a medical directive.

The first element, the revocable living trust, delineates who inherits what and prevents beneficiaries from having to endure the potentially lengthy process of probate court. An individual’s assets are transferred into the trust while that individual remains alive. The creator of the trust usually receives any income generated from these assets and the right to withdraw principal from the trust. “The creator of a revocable living trust can revoke or cancel the trust at any time during his or her life, and at death, the trust becomes irrevocable, and its income and assets are disposed of under terms specified by you in the trust agreement,” Murphy adds.

Second, a will covers any assets not held by the trust, as well as any assets that are not jointly owned or have a beneficiary designation on them. Personal property and keepsakes can be held by and distributed by a trust. In addition, in Missouri, an individual can write a list of personal property and keepsakes that he or she would like to be distributed to certain individuals. “Remember, your will ensures that whatever your assets, they will go to family members or other beneficiaries you designate,” Murphy says. Although some websites offer cheap basic wills, both Castellanos and Murphy note that such generic wills can sometimes be filled out improperly or incompletely, creating more cost and confusion for the beneficiaries.

A power of attorney, the third basic element of an estate plan, designates

By Connie Mitchell

someone to manage an individual’s property during his or her life if that individual becomes incapacitated or needs help managing affairs.

“Ideally, the incapacitated person has taken steps, such as creating a trust or signing a power of attorney, to deal with such a contingency before the incapacity developed, in which case we are just interpreting those documents and following through with those wishes,” Castellanos points out. “If the incapacitated person has not put those pieces into place, then the process will involve the courts and be more expensive and emotionally difficult for the family.”

As the final basic element of an estate plan, everyone should consider a medical directive, also known as a health care power of attorney or living will, Castellanos says. This document designates someone who will make medical decisions on behalf of an individual if that individual can no longer do so.

The worst-case scenario is when an individual [who is incapacitated] has no plan,” Murphy says. “At that point, we have to make a determination as to whether or not the person is capable of signing a power of attorney, and if not, then we have to discuss opening a guardianship and conservatorship estate. A guardianship/conservatorship proceeding is a probate court proceeding where an individual is declared incapacitated and disabled by the court. The process can take several months to complete and, between court costs and attorneys’ fees, can be quite expensive.”

Even young adults should consider estate plans, and it’s wise to review them every few years or in the case of significant changes in life circumstances. Updating documents as needed can prevent additional stress and expense down the road. Key times to review estate plans include when children turn 18, when they graduate from college and when they get married. Retirement also marks a turning point at which estate plans should be reexamined.

The tax laws change over time,” Castellanos says. “If you have had previous experience dealing with the trust or estate of a deceased loved one, do not assume that you know how the tax laws will apply because the laws might have changed drastically since then.” Even the new tax laws just enacted this year are not as clear-cut as many assume, and an estate planning professional can help navigate the new rules.

Although estate planning helps preserve assets, the most valuable aspect is often peace of mind. “After someone dies, the worst thing in the world would be to be left scrambling in the dark, not knowing where [the deceased] loved one wanted to be buried or if [he or she] wanted to be cremated, if there is enough money for the funeral and what was supposed to happen to the contents of the house or the house itself,” Murphy says. “Having an estate plan allows you to set this all out for your family and friends so that when you pass away, your family can grieve for you and not have to worry about the logistics of death like bills, funeral and taxes.”

t’s not a stretch to say that most people would prefer to be their own boss at work, if given the choice. But, most people don’t have the experience, wherewithal or tenacity to do so. Most people aren’t Michelle Spirn.

After spending more than two decades practicing family law at St. Louis-area firms, Spirn decided that the time was right to venture out on her own. With a small but committed team that includes associate Alexandra D. Johnson and paralegal Anna Denslow, she officially launched Spirn Family Law, LLC on December 1, 2017.

“I have very strong ideas about the way law should be practiced and decided to start my own firm while I am still energetic and brave enough to take on the challenge, yet also

knowing that I am fighting for them.”

During her career, Spirn has learned that this fight doesn’t always have to play out in the courtroom. “My firm is well-connected in the legal community,” she notes. “This enables us to accomplish a lot informally, which saves our clients time and money. I have found that sometimes the most effective way to move a case forward is simply to call the opposing counsel to see what can be agreed upon.”

In addition to working on actions to modify judgments related to custody or financial support, Spirn and her firm are also prepared to challenge rulings on behalf of their clients. The team pursues appeals when, as Spirn explains, ‘”we believe that the trial court has made an error or misapplied the law.”

“I have always found great satisfaction in guiding clients through a very difficult time, and seeing them emerge stronger on the other side.” mature enough to feel confident in my business decisions,” maintains Spirn. “I thought it was now or never.”

The determination that propelled Spirn to establish her own firm is also what has made her such an effective advocate for clients, many of whom are dealing with sensitive situations like prenuptial agreements, divorce, child and spousal support negotiations, and custody arrangements.

“Family court actions are emotional, especially when children are involved,” acknowledges Spirn. “My job is to stay calm and help my clients focus on their goals. There is no typical family court action and, therefore, no typical outcome. I try my best to prepare my clients to be patient and to trust the process,

Because the law is so dynamic, Spirn works diligently to stay current and informed about the legal issues confronting her clients. She maintains an active presence in the field through frequent speaking engagements and memberships to professional organizations, like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

For Spirn, family law is ultimately a calling, one that’s been reenergized by the formation of her new firm. “I have always found great satisfaction in guiding clients through a very difficult time, and seeing them emerge stronger on the other side,” she says. “I smile every day walking in the door and have never looked back!”

nthony’s Italian Eats, which debuted in Clayton in March from a familiar family of restaurateurs, features salads, sandwiches and pizzas available for dine-in enjoyment, carryout and delivery.

It numbers among the Gianino group of restaurants, which includes multiple locations of Joey B’s, as well as Billy G’s Kirkwood, Frankie G’s Grill & Bar in Imperial and St. Louis’ Aero Hawk Catering.

Anthony’s Italian Eats, the ninth business under the local family-owned brand, takes its name from Tony Gianino, who co-owns it with longtime friend and business partner Joey Barczewski.

Anthony’s Italian Eats fills the roughly 800-squarefoot space previously occupied by Manhattan Express, with 10 seats inside and another 20 on the patio. Webster Groves’ Lori O Interiors worked on the space. Highlights include original terrazzo floors, a small market pantry and deli case, and classic dining room accents such as framed family photographs and hanging wine racks.

Tessa LaPlant, who previously served as the frontof-house manager at Joey B’s Concord Plaza location, serves as the chef and general manager. In the kitchen, she cooks authentic Gianino family recipes using a variety of imported Italian ingredients.

“These are all my grandma’s recipes,” Gianino says.

“Her specialty pizza crust is hand-tossed but thin and crispy. We have red and white pizzas. The red is your traditional San Marzano pizza sauce. The white pizza is one my grandmother made with heavy cream, fontina cheese and garlic.”

Specialty pizza options include combinations such as The Anthony, with roasted red pepper, salsiccia, Parma cotto ham, shredded mozzarella, white onion, pepperoni and mushroom. Another popular pick, the Prosciutto and Arugula Bianca, comes with creamy ricotta, baby arugula, Parma prosciutto, shredded fontina, extra-virgin olive oil and cherry tomatoes.

‌Story: The grass definitely is greener, thinks Vanya, for his despised brother-in-law, the Professor. That’s because the pompous, self-important academic, whose late first wife was Vanya’s sister, has now remarried, to a beautiful and desirable young woman named Ella.

Vanya hopelessly lusts after Ella, who’s smart and articulate in her own right but also unhappy to a degree with her situation. While Ella brushes off Vanya’s heavyhanded attempts at romance, she willingly encourages the advances of the handsome Dr. Aster, who shares Vanya’s desire for the married woman.

All of this transpires while Vanya and his niece Sonia care for the family estate. Poor Sonia has a big heart but is saddened by what she considers her own homeliness, as well as her impossible love for the dashing physician, who treats her amicably enough as a sweet young child – but nothing more.

Observing all of this angst and anxiety is Babs, an older woman and close friend who came to the estate to care for Vanya’s late sister, then, after her death, remained on-site. A bit of a bohemian, Babs displays a flair for art and a relaxed love of life, something she shares to a certain extent with Pickles, a woman who toils at a simple job, lives in a room above the family’s garage and still carries a torch for a girl she loved and lost 17 years earlier.

These folks spend much of their time – together, alone or in clusters – in the estate’s colorful garden, a way of life threatened when the Professor states his intent to sell the estate and pocket the money for himself and his wife.

Some of these folks ponder life’s “ridiculous” developments, others take what they can from its daily lessons, and some simply yearn to create their own experiences and memories. None of them, though, seems satisfied that “life sucks.”

Highlights: New Jewish Theatre closes its 201718 season with a smart rendition of Aaron Posner’s modern adaptation of Uncle Vanya, Anton Chekhov’s classic 1898 play about seeking the meaning of life in the countryside.

Other Info: In this land of the “ridiculous,” the Beatles rule in Amanda Werres’ intoxicating sound design, whether through ukulele versions of “We Can Work It Out” or “Can’t Buy Me Love.”

Director and newly appointed artistic director Edward Coffield puts his loving touch on this beguiling and affecting tale, which overcomes a tired usage of fourletter language to reveal several interesting and affecting characters who bear a strong resemblance to Chekhov’s originals, brought to life by his inspired cast.

Katy Keating turns in an especially touching performance as the long-suffering Sonia. She shows how the play’s youngest character may have the oldest heart, as Sonia steadfastly goes about keeping her family together even while pining for the elusive Dr. Aster.

By Mark Bretz

Keating shares a wonderful scene with Julie Layton as Ella, when the self-doubting Sonia pours out her feelings to her newly established best friend forever.

Layton fully realizes Ella, a Ph.D. with “$173,000 in student loans” and the stinging observation that no one will read the academic tome she’s preparing.

She shares a number of delightful and/or moving scenes with Michelle Hand as the irrepressible Pickles, Christopher Harris as the overwrought and underperforming Vanya and Jeff Cummings as Dr. Aster, who criticizes his obsession with work but does little at the estate but theorize.

Harris mines a good deal of humor, both physical and verbal, in the role of Vanya, as the character rails against the injustices he believes plague him.

Cummings shares some electric moments with Layton, as Ella momentarily succumbs to her desire for the dashing physician, and also has a revealing scene with Keating that emphasizes their unintentional chasm.

Hand brings a warm, soft touch to Pickles, née Penelope, in a scene in which she describes her fierce devotion to fidelity and lasting love, as well as a charming moment sharing sock puppets with Ella.

Jan Meyer fills Babs with wisdom, resilience and a lasting love of life, while Greg Johnston has several good moments as the self-important, overblown academic Professor. His “predilection” for big words causes Ella to reply in exasperation, “Why can’t you talk instead of writing out loud?” (or words to that effect).

A century of time and thousands of miles separate the characters in Uncle Vanya from those in Life Sucks, but their hopes, dreams and aspirations remain universal.

How you interpret the script will determine whether you yourself think that “life sucks” or that maybe, just maybe, it’s a cabaret.

Soul MILO DUKE

ART and

T

he present, almost certainly, constitutes a bleak time for a visual artist to be following the creative lead of the Dadaists from a century ago, give or take.

After all, even an artistic movement predicated on protest and absurdity (christened, of course, by Tristan Tzara but preeminently associated with Marcel Duchamp, le roi des ready-made) has its limits. In that respect, the vertiginously accelerated pace of today’s events in both the art and nonart worlds can leave one feeling more than a little breathless, as if the Tilt-A-Whirl of life had abruptly blown its throttle, spinning one’s senses and sensibilities like an old-fashioned top – or just perhaps like the wheels of an upended bicycle in some otherworldly place and clime.

Enter Milo Duke and Opposing Schools, the 40- by 12inch oil on canvas shown here – a genuinely heartening exercise in highbrow heuristics.

The artist behind that bit of visual merriment recently came to the metro area from the West Coast. After living and working in Seattle for quite some time, Duke moved here a year ago with his wife, artist Wendy Wees (profiled in Art and Soul two months back).

Of the charmingly ichthyic jape of Opposing Schools, which dates from 2016, he relates that it belongs to “a series of paintings called Traffic on Mars which featured in an installation, ‘The Library of Alexandria,’ that I did that year at Folio, a private library in Seattle.

‘The Library of Alexandria’ represented the traveling study/archive/studio of a fictional artist/poet/scientist named Milo Duke.”

Outré? Just a smidge!

Duke – the factual Duke, not his fictional counterpart – continues: “The subjects of the paintings in the Traffic on Mars series are fantastic vehicles designed on Earth to be used on the surface of Mars. The overall inspiration for the series came from my realization that there are currently a number of Earth vehicles running around or lying derelict on the Martian surface. Why not design some more? …

“In Opposing Schools, the vehicles are racing fish posed in the ‘laboratory’ in front of a blackboard covered with many of the considerations involved in their design. The famous Martian fish races present a number of issues, primarily that they require fish out of water, given the lack of any surface water on Mars.

“Racing fish are powered by astro-geophysical music generated by three-axis flux gate magnetometer

The overall inspiration for the series came from my realization that there are currently a number of Earth vehicles running around or lying derelict on the Martian surface. Why not design some more?

– MILO DUKE readings performed on Vashon Island in Puget Sound, and they must operate in an environment consistent with an Elliott wave analysis of ecclesiastic history; these are the design considerations depicted on the blackboard in the background.

“Clearly we’re deep in Dada territory here!”

Clearly. That territory notwithstanding, Duke’s background boasts enough interesting detail to suggest he takes his satire quite seriously.

“After leaving the law firm in Seattle where I was working as an attorney, my art career began as a selftaught street artist at the Pike Place Market in 1980,” he relates. “While I wasn’t particularly successful in the streets, within a very few years, I was regularly showing my work in Seattle galleries and have continued to show in galleries and museums locally, regionally and nationally.

“Feeling the need to learn more about technique, in 1997 I began studying at the Academy of Realist Art in Seattle, now known as the Gage Academy. I’ve been fortunate to have studied with some of America’s greatest living realist painters, including Tony Ryder, Stephen Assael and Dominic Cretara.”

That turn of events, Duke notes, led to a pedagogical

sideline. That is, from 1998 to 2017, he himself taught art at various venues, including Gage.

Till 2000, Duke adds, he exhibited his more speculative work at conventions nationwide devoted to science fiction. He thereby not only gained recognition in that genre but also won awards and sold paintings to (among others) that love-him-orloathe-him eternal enfant terrible Harlan Ellison and the late, great David G. Hartwell, the influential critic, publisher, editor and anthologist.

Also till 2000, Duke belonged to an artistic group called the Dharmic Engineers, which “did group shows and collaborated with other artists, musicians, dancers and poets on performances, installations, music albums and movies,” and for the past 29 years, he’s been collaborating with Dr. John G. Cramer (a distinguished science fact/fiction writer and professor emeritus of physics at the University of Washington in Seattle) and several others on an art-and-science project intriguingly dubbed “The Gospel of Quetzalcoatl.”

“As a painter, I work in series – many different series, each of which can take years to complete,” Duke says. “I come and go amongst my many series, leaving off work on one and going to another as my interest waxes and wanes, sometimes returning after several years’ absence.

“The Traffic on Mars series is like that, having been started 20 or so years ago and still ongoing. Opposing Schools is the most recent painting in the series.”

Duke concludes by reflecting on the blissful diversity of his calling: “Throughout my career, I’ve explored as many media and forms of expression as have attracted my interest. These include watercolor, oil and acrylic painting, drawing, woodcut relief printmaking, photography, model-making, wood carving, installations, writing prose and poetry, book design and publication – I’ve published three books of my art and writing – music and science.

“Practicing art is perhaps the only occupation that could have allowed me the freedom and flexibility to have ranged so far and wide following my passions and interests.”

Alone in Its

Dennis Reagan

By Mark Bretz | Photos by Phil Hamer

he nation’s largest outdoor amphitheater is celebrating its birthday this month, and it’s a milestone one: The Muny is about to start its 100th season in Forest Park.

The Muny’s centennial season begins June 11 with the first regional production of Jerome Robbins’ Broadway (June 11 to 17). That’s followed by The Wiz (June 19 to 25), Singin’ in the Rain (June 27 to July 3), the first regional production of Jersey Boys (July 9 to 16), Annie (July 18 to 25), Gypsy (July 27 to August 2) and the season finale, the perennial favorite Meet Me in St. Louis (Aug. 4 to 12).

Dennis Reagan, president and CEO of The Muny, has been aboard for half of those 100 years. He’s enjoying his own 50-year anniversary since he started as a “picker” in 1968, gathering up debris from the aisles after Muny performances. A student at the time at Bishop DuBourg High School in south St. Louis, he later attended the University of Missouri-St. Louis, graduating with a degree in business.

Reagan was offered a full-time job with The Muny and in 1976 became assistant to the manager. In 1991, he was named CEO, replacing the retiring Edwin “Bill” Culver.

His start at The Muny “was just a fluke,” Reagan says. “Someone didn’t show up to work where a friend of mine was employed, and so I took the job to help him out. My first day of employment was May 20, 1968, which is the same day as our 100th-anniversary community birthday bash. This job has been amazingly interesting and such a pleasure for me.”

Te tradition of Te Muny is that this is a place where folks can come out and enjoy a night under the stars, with people they know.

– Dennis Reagan

The Municipal Theatre Association of St. Louis, the original name for The Muny, presented its first production at Forest Park in 1916 with Shakespeare’s As You Like It. The cast included Sidney Greenstreet, who later had prominent roles in the classic films Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon.

In 1917, there was a weeklong run of Verdi’s opera Aida, followed on June 6, 1919, by a performance of Robin Hood, which began The Muny’s annual summer series of shows. That season featured two grand operas and four light operas.

Under the guidance of Henry Kiel, St. Louis’ longtime mayor, The Muny began with a love for light opera but eventually gravitated toward musical theater. Kiel created the nonprofit Municipal Theatre Association in 1919, ushering in an era that featured works by Sigmund Romberg, Jerome Kern and Victor Herbert, among others.

From its inception, The Muny offered more than 1,000 free seats to each performance. “The Muny is here to offer something for everybody,” Reagan says. “We have made a commitment to keep our prices as low as we can. A season ticket is less than $80. Plus, we give away 100,000 free tickets every year. In our history, more than 10 million people have seen shows here at no cost.”

Since the beginning, a cavalcade of celebrities has graced The Muny stage. The Muny’s audiences love the stars, and those Te Muny ticket office stars love The Muny experience. A young Englishman named Archie Leach was a resident baritone for The Muny during its 1931 season, before he changed his stage name to Cary Grant. Nearly 60 years later, Grant was looking forward to showing his wife, Barbara, the splendor of The Muny’s outdoor stage while he would be in St. Louis for an appearance. Alas, he passed away from a stroke in Iowa, his last stop before his trip back “home.”

Local residents such as Betty Grable, Virginia Mayo, Vincent Price, Mary Wickes, Agnes Moorehead, Buddy Ebsen and Ken Page all performed at The Muny in their younger days. Muny management, including executives such as Willie Zalken and Culver, went after big names to grace The Muny stage and keep attendance in the hundreds of thousands, such as the nearly 900,000 fans who attended shows in 1949.

Irene Dunne performed on The Muny stage. So did W.C. Fields, Allan Jones, Gretchen Wyler, Andy Devine, Bob Hope, John Travolta, Jerry Orbach, Lauren Bacall and Debbie Reynolds.

“The tradition of The Muny is that this is a place where folks can come out and enjoy a night under the stars, with people they know,” Reagan says. “Many have season tickets for decades, and the people sitting next to them have for decades, too. Each week, everyone looks forward to visiting with their ‘theater

neighbor.’ We’ve had six generations of families attend The Muny. The support we receive is unbelievable.”

During the late ’70s and early ’80s, concerts were held by groups such as The Moody Blues and Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass to try to change with the times.

When Paul Blake was hired as artistic director in 1990, he and Reagan decided to get back to The Muny’s roots of self-produced operettas and musicals.

“Paul came in 1990, and I was named CEO in 1991,” Reagan says. “We agreed that what The Muny does best is produce its own shows. That’s how The Muny began in 1919, and continues today. The model was to do a show with a scope that was bigger than anyone else did; you might see 100 performers onstage here.”

Although The Muny looked for the best shows to produce, Reagan and others knew that its infrastructure was aging. At that time, Reagan began supervising $25 million in improvements at The Muny. Today, The Muny is more accessible for physically challenged patrons and sports more aesthetically appealing amenities for its patrons than before, including new restrooms, concessions and seating.

The Muny has benefited through the years not only from individuals and families but also from local corporations. Each show this season has a corporate sponsor in addition to World Wide Technologies, which has sponsored the entire season since 2014.

Although Reagan has always loved his job with the renowned outdoor theater, in recent years, he says: “My favorite Muny show is our 2013 production of Les Misérables. It featured two Broadway stars, Norm Lewis as a wonderful Javert and Hugh Panaro as a really special Jean Valjean.”

Come June 11 and the season-opening performance of Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, you’ll find Reagan meeting and greeting his fellow Muny fans from his familiar location just to the side of stage left of that immense and memorable Muny stage.

Meet him at The Muny!
