Style Feature:

MANDOLIN HANDBAGS At once delighting sight, smell and touch, few of life’s other pleasures can match well-wrought leather goods – like, say, the products of Haley Black’s Mandolin Handbags, here featured

by LN digital editor and staff writer Robyn Dexter.

DINNER & A SHOW In downtown St. Louis, cuisine from northern and northeastern Thailand takes the spotlight at Phatcharin Wanna and Kobe Tanya’s intriguingly named Kiin Essentially Thai, as detailed for LN readers by writer/photographer Mabel Suen.

Arts & Culture:

ARTS SPEAK LN contributing writer Allison Babka covers – uncovers, in context, would perhaps be a more apt verb – “Flora Borealis,” a brand-new exhibition at the Missouri Botanical Garden that uses lighting and multimedia to lush but ethereal effect.

On the cover 10 Old Newsboys Day has been an annual pre-Thanksgiving tradition in St. Louis since 1957, raising funds for hundreds of local children’s charities. Always held on the Thursday before Thanksgiving, the fundraiser this year falls on Nov. 15. New in 2018 is the inaugural Old Newsboys Polo Match on Sept. 29 at Kraftig Field in Defiance, Missouri. One hundred percent of the public’s contributions from all events will benefit this year’s selected charities. Turn to page 10 to learn more about the Old Newsboys organization, its longstanding impact on the St. Louis community and how you can be involved. Pictured on the cover are the 2018 co-chairs, Doug and Molly Sansone. Photo by Strike A Pose.

letter

from the

EDITOR ‌IN EARLY JUNE, MY FAMILY AND I VACATIONED NEAR THE beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores. We ended up staying in a gorgeous gated community, each house as unique and flawless as the last, which we enjoyed exploring by foot multiple evenings during the duration of our trip. There wasn’t a single walk that ended without us discussing the possibility of purchasing a vacation home, which made me wonder – what truly goes into buying a home away from home?

Ladue News’ newest contributing writer, Drew Gieseke, was up to the task of finding out, and chatted with three real estate experts about the ins and outs of finding and buying a luxury getaway property. Starting on p. 22, not only will you be greeted by a stunning abode, but also you’ll find some spectacular advice, like how to pick the right location for you, whether waterfront fits your lifestyle and more.

Also in this week’s edition, we hope you enjoy learning about Artists First, a nonprofit that respectful guidance and a friendly supportive community.” The story of this heartfelt organization starts on p. 50, as beautifully shared by LN staff writer and copy editor Bryan A. Hollerbach.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Editor’s Corner The word around town

We’re Sorry: In the June 20 edition of Ladue News, we inadvertently denoted Brazen Global a 501©(3) while it is Brazen St. Louis that is the 501©(3). We are sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

xtra! Extra! Read all about it! In this day and age, when news flows from Twitter feeds faster than print can keep up, there’s a reassuring nostalgia to Old newsboys Day, a St. Louis tradition since 1957. every year on the Thursday before Thanksgiving, hundreds of St. Louisans bundle up in their warmest outerwear – accessorized with the classic Old newsboys Day apron – and take to the street corners, selling special editions of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to benefit area children’s charities. whether you choose to donate 20 cents or $20 for a newspaper, 100% of your contribution on that festive day goes to the charities selected by Old newsboys for the year.

“Hundreds of charities, most of them small nonprofit organizations, apply for funding each year,” explains Mary Ann wagner, promotions director and niche publisher for the Suburban Journals. In April, Old newsboys celebrated the success of last year’s drive, which awarded 176 grants.

This year’s Old newsboys Day, which will take place on november 15, marks the nonprofit’s 61st campaign. And, as always, the all-volunteer organization is looking to best the previous year’s results. “Our goal for this year is to beat that number!” says Doug Sansone, who, along with wife Molly, serves as the event’s co-chair.

Sansone’s ties to the St. Louis community – and the Old newsboys organization – run deep. He fondly remembers watching his father rise early, don a hat and gloves, and head out into the cold to sell newspapers. now with children of his own, the nonprofit’s overall mission resonates more profoundly with Sansone. “My wife and I have six children, and anything that has to do with children is really important to us,” he emphasizes. “we are St. Louis people, born and raised. My business is here. Our families are here. To be a small part of an organization that benefits so many children across the region is an honor.”

Although the maximum individual grant awarded to charities is $3,000, the event chair bestows a special Chairman’s Award, complete with a $10,000 grant, to one worthy nonprofit each year. This year’s recipient – Friends of Immigrants and Refugees of St. Louis (F.I.R.S.T.) – is particularly special to Sansone, as it was founded by his family nearly 20 years ago.

“F.I.R.S.T. is a very small charity, which is exactly what Old newsboys is about,” he says. The charity benefits families with young children who legally come to the United States seeking greater opportunity. The

organization especially focuses on families who choose to settle in the St. Louis area. “Many of these families come from war-torn countries,” states Sansone. “each of us, in one way or another, is an immigrant to this country. we want to be there to encourage and assist people who are trying to better their lives by coming here.”

As passionate as Sansone is about F.I.R.S.T., he is equally hopeful that more members of the St. Louis community will become involved with Old newsboys, perhaps by attending the organization’s upcoming fundraiser. Captain of the Saint Louis Polo Club, Sansone joined forces with Billy Busch, a fellow polo enthusiast and two-time former event chair, to plan a benefit polo match, which will take place on Saturday, Sept. 29th, at the Kräftig Polo Club in Defiance, Missouri. The event will not only feature a polo contest, but also activities and entertainment catering to the entire family.

As Old newsboys Day approaches, Sansone offers a simple, heartfelt suggestion to the community: “Be generous. Participate and give what you can.” oldnewsboysday.org

Karen Anderson, Teka Childress, Shannon Marie Diekemper, Victoria Dolan, Judy Preddy Draper, Rachel Ebeling, Kim Hutton, Tammy Iskarous, Marilyn L. Ratkin and Risa Zwerling Wrighton. Gwendolyn Packnett, Ph.D., the organization’s president, welcomed the Class of 2018 as they mingled with one another, as well as members of previous Women of Achievement classes, and viewed models sharing the latest fashion trends. Cheryl DiMauro, vice president and general manager of Neiman Marcus, presented each honoree with a crystal vase at the end of the luncheon, which took place in The Zodiac restaurant – and which preceded by just 10 days the awards luncheon chaired by Phyllis Langsdorf, with Dr. Eva Frazer as vice chair.

Hope Happens

14TH ANNUAL EVENING OF HOPE Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

T

his year’s Evening of Hope benefiting Hope Happens featured a very special live performance by acclaimed jazz musician Jeremy Davenport at The Sheldon Concert Hall & Art Galleries. After cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, guests dined before a check for $100,000 from Hope Happens went to the Hope Center for Neurological Disorders at the Washington University School of Medicine. Following the presentation of that check, guests entered the concert hall for a performance. Raising money for research remains a big part of how Hope Happens improves the quality of life for individuals with neurological disorders.

We became involved because our daughter is on the board and have learned so much. One very incredible thought to remember is that Hope Happens is working for neurological disorders and that supports the Hope Center. And one in six people has a neurological disorder – and that’s a pretty incredible fact when you think about how many of us there are.

Photos and story by Jon Saucier

ith a goal to do all they can in the fight against Crohn’s disease and colitis, the Graeler family recently held a fundraising event, Gathering in the Valley, at their beautiful Chesterfield Valley Nursery. As guests mingled over cocktails and light fare, they were greeted warmly by two members of the community who shared their experience with these intestinal afflictions.

Guests also bid on several silent auction items, listened to live music and wandered the nursery’s grounds.

We are forever thankful and grateful for the support we received for Gathering in the Valley. The community, friends and family blessed us and the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation with their time and donations toward a cure for those living with this difficult diagnosis.

LN chats with experts about the ins and outs of finding and buying a luxury getaway property.

P

urchasing a new vacation home can be as exciting and rewarding as it is complex and stressful.

Chances are you’ve had experience with finding an everyday residence – the one where you spend the majority of your time, whether it be raising your children, relaxing in retirement or living somewhere in between – but seemingly countless additional considerations can factor into your decision when searching for a vacation home. Thankfully, knowledgeable real estate agents specialize in these kinds of getaway properties and offer expert advice to help guide your search.

Lynn Farrell, owner-broker at John Farrell Real Estate, says her personal knowledge of the Lake of the Ozarks is what makes her a successful Realtor and what you should look for when choosing a Realtor. “You can’t represent your client professionally if you aren’t from or aren’t familiar with the area and the upkeep that goes into a luxury waterfront home,” she says.

Farrell, who moved to the Lake of the Ozarks in 1975, is a big proponent of the region. She’s quick to point out that the lake features 1,100-plus miles of shoreline – more than on the coast of California. But, she adds, potential buyers need to consider every detail when searching for properties.

“People usually have a pretty good idea of what they want from online searches, but pictures can be deceiving,” Farrell says. “It’s a big education process. They give us their expectations, and then we help reset them based on what they’ve given us, be it price point, amenities, square footage, everything.”

In buying lakefront property, waterfront and docks are very important and appealing – and rightfully so – but when you are LadueNews.com | June 29, 2018 23

looking, you need to decide if an expansive view of the waterfront is the most important thing or if relaxing and playing in the water is very important to you, according to Farrell.

“If you want to play in the water with the kids, you do not want main channel,” she says. “It will be more important to have a cove location and a little more protection from water skiers, personal watercrafts and large wakes from boating activity. All of this is very important, as well as making sure you have the docks inspected and they are up to code for protection from possible electrical accidents.”

Other real estate agents, like St. Louis native and Palm Beach, Florida-based Gary Pohrer, put extra emphasis on that all-too-familiar adage of “location, location, location.” Pohrer, a Realtor associate for Douglas Elliman Real Estate, rarely shows a home to clients on the first day of their search.

“Before you start looking for luxury vacation homes, do your research, try to narrow it down to a 20- or 10-mile radius,” he says. “You need to find your sticking points that you have to have. From there, we should be able to narrow down a pretty tight location of what you’re looking for.”

Sticking points can vary, especially in a vacation destination like Florida, which features the second-longest ocean coastline in the country.

“The amenities will drive the location,” Pohrer says. “If you’re looking for a boating community, there are places in Jupiter. If you want to be in a golf course community, we can eliminate Palm Beach and some other places. But if you’re looking for a walkable town, Palm Beach is great.”

For Pohrer, however, it was something else entirely that brought him to the Sunshine State.

“I literally followed the St. Louis Cardinals to Jupiter,” he says with a laugh. Pohrer, who played professional golf for a year, became a real estate agent only after he’d already moved to Florida, in part to pursue his love for the Redbirds.

24 June 29, 2018 | LadueNews.com

Hot spots like Florida are appealing for a variety of activities like baseball and golf, and accommodate many lifestyles. But protecting your investment is just as important as enjoying it.

“It’s good to be working with someone who’s had a number of years of experience down here [and] who has experienced hurricanes firsthand and the damage they can incur,” says Dan Diekneite, a luxury real estate professional at Gulf Coast International Properties in Naples, Florida. “Storm prevention is a big issue, so buyers need to pay attention to what flood zone they’re in and finding homes with hurricane-impact windows.”

That said, he’s certain the pros outweigh the cons.

“Winter and spring are the best times of year down here,” he says. “It’s nice to have drop-down screens so that in the cooler months you can have that indoor-outdoor feel that everyone wants.”

Ultimately, selecting your luxury vacation home comes down to you. Determine what you’re looking for and have a general idea of where you’d like that dream house to be located.

Your new getaway should be just that – a place where you enjoy the fruits of your labor and celebrate with family and friends. Do the research and work with an experienced real estate agent – and you’ll reap the rewards.

uxury doesn’t have to exist between check-in and check-out time. One local design firm can turn your living spaces into something even the most glamorous of luxury hotels would envy.

“At Mosby Building Arts, we provide an allinclusive design process – a thorough experience in which we walk clients through [every] stage, from concept through completion,” says designer Shannon Cross. “We become like family, working with clients on selections, design and installation together. We work so in-depth on every project that we often end up being friends afterwards.”

No surprise, Cross and her team became close with these particular clients while remodeling their master bathroom.

That relationship grew beyond this project, when the designer spent time designing the couple’s two additional bathrooms for their sons and guests. For this project, though, the homeowners chose to pamper themselves.

“The husband travels quite a bit for business and is overseas a lot, and his wife sometimes travels with him, as well,” shares Cross. “They both wanted that high-end hotel ambiance in the master bathroom.”

The biggest challenge was evident from the beginning. To expand the shower space, Cross would have to flip the current location of the tub and shower, including plumbing. She pulled in experts from Mosby, first ensuring the plan’s feasibility with the project manager and a plumber. Soon, the shower head and drains were rerouted to the opposite side of the second-floor master bathroom, allowing for a complete transformation.

“We achieved [the clients’ vision] with sleek, cleanlined finishes, accented by, what I like to call, ‘bling,’” describes Cross. “To create that [five-star hotel] feel, we included glass knobs, polished chrome on the hardware and lighting, and

some nicer amenities. [The couple now has] a digital shower control, speakers in the ceiling that can be remotely worked from their phones, heated flooring, a high-tech bidet toilet and electric inside the medicine cabinets, which is a highly functional element to have.”

Fine living is sure to be had in such a glamorous space, a sentiment to which the clients wholeheartedly agree.

“They absolutely love the finished spaces,” Cross admits with pride. “The Mrs. told me her husband said it was even nicer than any hotel he has ever stayed in, which is a huge compliment to me and my team. They light up every day they use it, which is always our ultimate goal. When working with a client, [we aim] to create a space that they will fall in love with and enjoy for years to come.”

or LARK Skin Co. owner Lisa Dolan, what started as a search for studio space to create and store more products for her almost 4-yearold company quickly turned into something more substantial and more exciting – especially for the area’s clean beauty-conscious community.

Earlier this month, Dolan officially opened the doors to LARK’s shop in Webster Groves, a one-of-akind retail destination for all things natural beauty and living.

On that festive Saturday morning, Rudy’s Flower Truck provided fresh blooms, herbal-inspired sips and snacks, and complimentary totes stocked with beauty samples for the store’s first 25 customers. Guests that morning also could create their own face masks with a Ritual Bar, a full-time feature of the shop that’s been in the making for Dolan for a while now.

“We started off doing custom face masks a couple years ago at pop-ups and events, and people loved them, especially for holidays and gifts” she says.

The Ritual Bar – which Dolan plans to expand to other LARK products in the future – guides shoppers in creating custom masks, from selecting the best base for their skin profile to picking add-ins and mixing everything right there in the shop.

The Ritual Bar forms just one part of Dolan’s overall goal in launching the storefront: to bring wellness options and education to the area, with an eye toward natural and clean products.

“Before, you would just pick something up and put it on, but people are starting to pay attention to

ingredients and how it all affects our bodies,” Dolan says.

Over the past year, Dolan has expanded LARK’s offerings, adding new beauty tools like dry body brushes, jade rollers (something she says she’s constantly selling out of) and the perhaps less familiar, but just as lustworthy, Gua Sha stones.

“They’re kind of like a deeper version of a jade roller,” she says. “They help loosen tight muscles, release tension in your face – especially if you are someone who furrows your brow when you’re stressed – and they increase circulation.”

Beyond stocking the LARK products so many area women know and love, including the celebrated Beauty Balm, the shop provides the opportunity to

discover new brands and artisans that Dolan’s been diligently sourcing.

“What I’m most excited about with opening up the shop is bringing unique brands to St. Louis that you can’t find anywhere else in the city,” she says. One she’s particularly excited to share: clean makeup company Clove + Hallow.

“Selecting a clean makeup line was really tricky – it took a lot of trial and error before I found one that I felt good about,” Dolan says. “One of our big focuses is taking a holistic approach to beauty, wellness and skin care, and I think makeup goes hand in hand with that.

Especially with products that you’re putting on every single day. It’s soaking into your skin– your biggest organ – and your body is processing all of it, so it’s super important that your products don’t have gross chemicals in them.”

Other brands LARK carries include handbags created by women makers in Mexico for LUZ Collections, Juniper Ridge (a natural home fragrance and body care company whose incense Dolan admits she constantly burns in her home) and other lifestyle and natural beauty lines like Bell Mountain Naturals, Sun Potion and Lizush Natural Bath & Body Care deodorant.

Dolan also plans to host weekly yoga or meditation classes, as well as pop-up events, now that she has the room to do so.

“This location had everything I was looking for: It’s a half-mile from my house, there’s space for storage, space to make our products and space for retail,” she says. “It’s all just very unique and really exciting.”

Haley Black’s Mandolin Handbags brings the art of handcrafting to her leather goods company.

H

aley Black comes from a rodeo family. Growing up in Bloomington, Illinois, Black’s father crafted equestrian saddles, so she was always around leather goods. After moving away and getting her undergraduate degree in speech and hearing science at the University of Illinois and then her master’s degree in deaf education from Washington University in St. Louis, Black felt a part of her was missing: a creative outlet. The stress of teaching was weighing on her, and she wanted to express herself in another way.

Going back to her roots, Black turned to leather. “I wanted to create something,” she remembers.

The first thing she made was an envelope-style clutch – something she designed with a very specific purpose.

“Whenever we go anywhere, my husband always hands me his wallet and phone,” she says. “I wanted something that would hold all the things I need as an adult woman, along with things like his wallet and phone.”

Her initial design would become an elegant yet heavy-duty bag that had countless people asking where they could get one. Seeing the interest, Black realized there might be a business endeavor possible there. In 2015, she created Mandolin Handbags – a name carefully chosen from an instrument she and her father both play.

“I learned the skill of leather from him, and we both play the mandolin,” she says. “I’m nowhere near intermediate level at this point, but it’s another thing passed down from him. I like the music that comes from [the mandolin]. It feels like home.”

Black turned her passion for fine-quality things and the current fashion revolution into her efforts with Mandolin Handbags.

“I value the fact that things aren’t made in a factory and are all a little different,” she says.

The current Mandolin Handbags line consists of her inaugural clutch, which retails for $180, the Sequoia Crossbody ($220), the Commuter Bag ($320), a wallet that starts at $50 and a few other home goods like coasters. Each piece is made to order by Black herself and usually arrives within two weeks of the order being placed.

“With the clutch and other pieces, I’ve tried to take the things I liked in my dad’s equestrian background and pare them down a lot,” she says.

Sequoia Crossbody photo courtesy of “Like the commuter bag, for example, has handles Mandolin Handbags made from infinity braids – the same ones you use for horse reins. Because of this, it can hold a lot of weight, and the braid gives when you’re walking so it’s not so much weight on your shoulder.”

Black has put considerable thought into the design of each of her pieces. When she was creating the designs for items like the clutch, she would “do the worst” to it to see what needed to be reinforced. In keeping with the individualized character of every handmade piece, Black doesn’t use a lot of processing on the leather so “it can become yours.” The clutch has suede lining and is accented by polished gold- and silver-toned hardware.

She says the larger crossbody bag has been a best-seller, noting its versatility.

“You can take it anywhere,” Black says. “I’ve taken it on a hike and also to a fashion event.”

She adds that the commuter bag is also popular due to its accommodating size. “It’s great to take on vacation, to carry a laptop or even be used as a diaper bag. The size works for so many things.”

Since she began selling bags under the Mandolin Handbags name more than three years ago, Black has received overwhelmingly positive feedback on her creations.

“You can clearly identify that these bags are handmade,” she says. “I think that sets them apart and opens them up for more inquiry.”

In the future, Black says she’d like to expand her line but is careful about what that expansion will look like. She doesn’t want to overlap the functionality of the bags she’s already creating.

“If I went on vacation, I would use the commuter bag as my carry-on, the crossbody during the day and the clutch to go to dinner,” she says. “So I will ask myself, ‘What’s the purpose other than what’s already there?’ I want to be thoughtful and systematic in my growth.”

For now, customers can find her bags locally at Union Studio, a shop in St. Louis’ Botanical Heights neighborhood that carries a collection of goods made by area makers, or via her website.

Priory Takes Top Honors

By Warren Mayes

‌A

year after finishing second in the state tournament, Creve Coeur’s Priory Rebels topped the Class 3 field.

Priory shot a two-day 592 team score to win the Class 3 state tournament played at Old Kinderhook Golf Course in Camdenton, Missouri, roughly 175 miles southwest of Ladue. Jefferson City’s Helias was 10 strokes back in second place, with Affton’s Lutheran South a distant third at 638.

“They have put a lot of work over the years and particularly this season to reach this milestone,” Priory coach Jake Parent says.

The program won its first state title in 2007.

“It was very special for the team,” Parent says. “They accepted the challenge and stayed focused on the task at hand and not on the pressure of the state tournament.”

After the tournament, Parent says his boys were “excitement and all smiles.”

This marked Parent’s second season as Priory head coach. “I am very lucky to be working with a great group of young men,” he says. “These guys make coaching easy and fun.”

Chaminade Finishes Second Creve Coeur’s Chaminade boys golf team finished second at state, and the prospects for the future look even better.

The Red Devils placed behind Columbia’s Rock Bridge with a two-day total of 605. Rock Bridge shot a 582 to win.

Chaminade shot a 298 in the second round after a 307 in the opening round of play at Swope Memorial Golf Course in Kansas City, Missouri.

“We had seven seniors on the team, but only one on our tournament squad,” Chaminade coach Jack Wilson says. “We will return four of the state qualifiers. We have a number of talented golfers looking to make the tournament squad next year. It will be exciting to see which five guys will represent their teammates at the district tournament next spring.”

The Red Devils carried second-place finishes in the district and sectional tournaments heading into state.

This year’s team was a fun group to coach, Wilson relates. “We keep a large number of players in our program,” he says. “The players and their parents seem to respond well to the team aspect of our approach. This makes the job of coaching more rewarding.”

was not driving the ball well either.”

All that changed once the tourney began at Old Kinderhook. Kodwani shot two rounds of 70 to finish with a 2-under 140 and win medalist honors.

Kodwani’s performance pleased his Priory coach.

“Gulshan has shown flashes of being a top-level golfer,” Parent says. “He finished first in the conference tournament earlier this year with an even-par performance. However, he was also our fourth golfer in terms of overall scoring average for the year.

“So it was in him all the time. He just did it on the big stage at state. This was his personal best round in a tournament, and he saved it for the best time of the year.”

Kodwani represents the second medalist in the school’s history. Doug Diemer medaled in 2007, the last time Priory won the state tournament before this spring.

Priory Has State Medalist Priory junior Gulshan Kodwani’s practice round before the Class 3 state boys golf tournament left him concerned.

“I really did not have a good practice round, actually,” Kodwani says. “I lost a few balls off the tee, and I couldn’t get a putt to drop. I did like the course, though, because it was very well manicured, with tightly mown fairways and true and quick greens, and I liked how a lot of the holes were less than driver off the tee, because I

Chaminade’s Walsh Winds Up Second Chaminade junior Zach Walsh knew what he wanted to do at the Class 4 state boy’s golf tournament.

“Honestly, to win,” Walsh says. “I knew it was a course for me – not too long and pretty narrow, with small greens. It took a while to sink in that I almost won.”

Indeed. Walsh shot a 141 in the event played at Swope Memorial. He finished second to medalist Ross Steelman of Rock Bridge. Steelman, a junior, finished with a 136.

Old Warson Cup Highlights Drew Pranger walked away from Ladue’s Old Warson Country Club as champion of the 2018 Old Warson Cup. The 2016 Amateur Champion defeated Alex Ciaramitaro 5-and-3 in the final match to earn his second MAGA title.

Pranger would get past five-time champion Skip Berkmeyer in the morning semifinal match with a 2-up victory. Having been knocked out of the 2017 Old Warson Cup by Berkmeyer, Pranger enacted a little revenge on the 12-time finalist in this event – a very good match where Berkmeyer actually shot one shot better by stroke play standards, 72 to Pranger’s 73. However, match play gives you that opportunity to win regardless.

Ciaramitaro, a dual-sport athlete at Peoria, Illinois’ Bradley University, where he competes in soccer and golf, definitely ranked as the “Who is this guy?” competitor in the tourney. His very strong play included a 20-hole win in the quarterfinals against two-time champ Sam Migdal to get to the finals. Jeremy Franklin pushed Ciaramitaro to extra holes in the semifinal match on the first extra hole to advance to the final against Pranger.

Pranger took command early in the final match and extended his lead to 5-up heading to the turn.

Ciaramitaro showed some of the early mettle seen in his early matches by getting wins on 12 and 13 to get back in the match. Pranger hit par for the always-difficult 15th to close out the victory 5-and-3.

70 DEGREES AND OVE OVER DON’TT TAKE DON ROVER!

By Russell Hyken

s summer gets underway, family lifestyles change. Regular meals planned between school and nightly activities give way to fluid schedules driven by summer social happenings. Kids busy themselves with friends, camps and jobs, which can make finding family time a challenge. It becomes all too easy, in fact, to go for days or even a full week without doing something as fundamental as dining together as a family.

Don’t let that happen to you.

Having dinner as a family doesn’t so much concern food as shared space and engaging discussions. Also, most important, such time together leads to benefits that extend well beyond a simple meal.

Research shows that families who regularly dine together have kids less likely to use drugs and alcohol and more likely to make healthy, positive life choices.

Mandatory meals become especially important during summer, when kids enjoy both fewer responsibilities and ample opportunities to make impulsive, poor decisions. Even when they’re not around, though, parents can influence their children by building positive relationships through shared activities. Teens really do want to please their mothers and fathers, parents, so your voice always figuratively occupies their heads when kids feel connected to their families.

In addition to family-only culinary gatherings, take advantage of summer by staging spontaneous (or planned) meals with your children and their friends. Casual gatherings generate casual conversation, allowing parents to learn more about their children’s friends – what they like to do and so forth.

Getting things started, however, can prove challenging. Some teenagers, especially younger ones, often act shy around adults. To make the most of these impromptu gatherings, parents, keep talk light and get teens engaged. Also, to avoid uncomfortable silences, ask specific questions about topics you know most teens enjoy, like sports, movies or favorite school subjects.

Last, keep things moving with an accepting attitude and warm demeanor. When parents act genuinely curious, laughter flows. Avoid criticizing comments, don’t spend too much time hanging around, and, most important, never embarrass your kids in front of their friends.

Parents should make an effort to know their children’s friends. In addition to gaining a better understanding of what’s important to your teen, mealtimes together provide insights into their social world. So, folks, light that grill and get the kids talking – and enjoy the summer!

“The more conversations that occur at an earlier age, the more aware and financially literate young people can become.”

-Kenneth Bower

38 June 29, 2018 | LadueNews.com

Munchkin

Money matters

By Connie Mitchell

Introducing your children to basic personal finances remains integral before they join the workforce.

A

lthough we love our children, we raise them to leave us eventually, and for our children to become independent young adults, it’s important to teach them the foundations of personal finance.

“The concepts do not need to be complicated, but people need to learn fundamental concepts about spending, saving, income, taxes, etc.,” says Kenneth Bower, chief executive officer and managing director of Clayton Financial Group. “If children learn about basic budgeting in high school and college years, they will have a much more solid foundation as they enter the workforce full time.”

Even before the teen years, Bower advises parents to begin financial conversations with their children and teach by example. For instance, opening a savings account at a local bank and taking a child to make deposits every so often will help him or her begin to understand saving.

Establishing chores whose completion leads to a weekly allowance is another lesson children can grasp.

Nicole Watson, UMB Bank senior vice president and senior regional sales manager, agrees that setting up an allowance for chores can help foster early financial literacy and positive habits.

“In my house, we required our children to save at least 10 percent of their allowance to help establish that savings routine,” she says. “We also were strict in sticking to the allowance amount and timing. If the child used all the money, we didn’t give them more until the scheduled allowance day. This ‘pain’ may have hurt but will hopefully help save them from making a bigger mistake once they are on their own.”

Once the basics are in place, parents can help teens expand their financial literacy by guiding them through budgeting and helping them understand the concept of living within one’s means. If a teen is short of funds for a movie and burger with friends, he or she should be able to determine where an allowance or income from other jobs went. Bailing them out repeatedly isn’t helpful, Watson notes.

“It’s one thing if the child makes a sincere error – for example, if they miscalculate the balance in their checking account,” she says. “But if they are coming to you on a consistent basis saying they spent all their money, stand firm and hold your ground. They may not be happy with you in the moment, but they will thank you later.”

Opening a checking account with an associated ATM card is one way to expand a teenager’s financial responsibilities. Other financial tools may also be useful, but parents need to consider the pros and cons in light of their child’s maturity. “Some families like debit cards and transfer an appropriate amount each month,” Bower says. “The debit card owner then has a set amount to spend each month. If the hypothetical transfer amount is $200, the young person has a preset monthly spending limit, and hopefully, this format teaches budgeting and fiscal responsibility. As opposed to credit cards (which often come with high limits), the advantage of a debit card is that the monthly spending is limited to the amount in the account.”

Credit cards are useful for emergency expenditures as a child begins spending more time away from home. However, when a teenager obtains a credit card,

parents should talk with the teen about the difference between credit and debit cards and explain the serious consequences of overspending in terms of interest payments and potential credit rating damage.

When a child transitions to young adulthood or even just becomes an older teenager, investing becomes an option, and starting early is beneficial in terms of longterm growth. “Perhaps a 15-year-old has a chance to save $50 a month, or the parents or grandparents provide small gifts at Christmas, other holidays or birthdays,” Bower says. “A small investment account can be a fun learning opportunity and a chance to learn about the stock market.”

He adds that teens often like to buy stock in companies they know, such as Coca-Cola (“KO” on the New York Stock Exchange). “However, from an overall risk standpoint, another option is a well-diversified fund,” he adds. “As children begin to work and have earned income, this situation is an ideal opportunity to talk about opening a Roth IRA [individual retirement account].”

Regardless of which financial tools and strategies you and your children implement, the key is to begin talking about money sooner rather than later. “Engage in dialogue at an early age and make sure that there are frequent and honest conversations about money,” Bower says. “These may be casual, like conversations on car rides, or more formal, like one-on-one or family meetings. The more conversations that occur at an earlier age, the more aware and financially literate young people can become.”

n the form of Kiin Essentially Thai, northern Thai cuisine debuted in March in downtown St. Louis from Fork & Stix owner Phatcharin Wanna and Kobe Tanya. At the casual lunch and dinner destination, the business partners feature various dishes from their native city, Chiang Mai. Wanna opened Fork & Stix in 2012 in St. Louis’ Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood, bringing northernstyle Thai cuisine to the forefront of the city’s dining scene. Before that, she and Tanya crossed paths in other local kitchens.

“We had an opportunity to open up [a new restaurant] and decided to give it a chance,” Wanna says. “St. Louis has come a long way from when I

moved here in 1997. I think people are getting to know more about Thai food and different regions of it, rather than just rustic food from central regions like Bangkok.

They’re getting to know northern and northeastern [Thai] food.”

Wanna says the restaurant gets its name from กิน, pronounced kin – the Thai word for “eat.” The restaurant fills approximately 1,600 square feet space with 52 seats. St. Louis’ SPACE Architecture + Design gave the dining room a cozy, contemporary feel with creative hanging ceiling fixtures and lighting, as well as wall décor including baskets and plants. Kiin’s logo feature the likeness of yakshas, nature spirits that form an important element of Thai temple art and architecture.

On Kiin’s menu, guests will find plenty of Fork & Stix favorites, such as its ever-popular khao soi. The iconic northern Thai curry noodle soup comes with the diner’s choice of chicken, tofu or beef with egg noodles, pickled mustard greens and shallots, finished with crispy noodles and a lime wedge.

The growing list of unique offerings at Kiin includes such appetizers as house-made chicken cracklings served with chili-lime sauce, as well as yum som with pomelo, peanuts, toasted coconut, shallots and fish sauce.

Perhaps the most notable new dish, however, is khao mun gai, or poached ginger chicken and rice. “It’s a very popular street food every Thai person knows and

loves, based on Hainanese chicken rice,” Wanna says. “What makes it different from the original is the sauce. We make it Thai with chili, lime, ginger and fermented soybean paste. It’s a simple dish, but good and homey.”

Additional offerings include hoy jaw, deep-fried pork and shrimp dumplings that are wrapped with tofu skin and served with sweet chili sauce. Muu tod, another appetizer option, involves deep-fried pork shoulder, fried garlic and shallot chips, served with chili-lime sauce.

To drink, Kiin offers a basic bar with wine, beer and spirits like vodka, rum and whiskey. All things considered, Kiin Essentially Thai should make a splendid culinary stop for theatergoers heading to End of the Rainbow from Max & Louie Productions at The Grandel.

‌Story: In December 1968, Hollywood icon Judy Garland has arrived in London prior to a six-week performance of her concert show at a venue known as Talk of the Town. Accompanying her are a brand-new, youthful fiancé named Mickey Deans and her gay music conductor, Anthony, who has met them at the hotel where all are staying during the performance’s run.

Irrepressible onstage and a talent of welterweight proportions, Garland also is waging a daily battle against drugs, booze and inner demons that savage her mercilessly. Anthony loves her dearly and does what he can to keep her from reckless impulses and self-destruction, while Mickey, as her manager, works to make her visit to London profitable.

The problem, though, remains that Judy has a history of disastrous financial decisions and a mercurial temperament, which make for a toxic combination for long-term happiness. Her appearances onstage at Talk of the Town can be galvanic but just as easily alarming, while a promotional interview with a BBC radio host quickly dissolves into disaster.

At age 46, Garland continues to struggle to get beyond the “rainbow” immortalized in song by her role as Dorothy Gale in the landmark 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. But can Garland truly go home anymore?

Highlights: Angela Ingersoll packs a powerful wallop in a searing and astounding performance as the diminutive, tragic talent who loved her audiences but, in her own words, “often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.”

Other Info: Ingersoll, who dazzled patrons in April at the Playhouse @ Westport Plaza in her tribute concert Judy Garland: Come Rain or Come Shine, is both brilliant and extraordinary in her portrayal of the doomed star in the current production being staged by Max & Louie Productions. It’s a performance any local fan of Garland shouldn’t miss.

Ingersoll was ingratiating and indefatigable in her Come Rain or Come Shine tribute to the fabled Hollywood star, pointing out that at 5 feet tall, she’s an inch taller than Garland herself. Sure, the raven-haired singer/actress bears a strong physical resemblance to Garland, née Frances Gumm, but her singing and acting propel her riveting and horrific depiction – horrific in the sense that with playwright Peter Quilter’s haunting dialogue, she exposes all of the vulnerability and loneliness that ravaged the American screen idol. A revealing reference to Judy’s “stage mother,” who foisted her three daughters on the vaudevillian stage when Frances was just 2 years old, underscores the cruel childhood Garland endured and the lasting scars it left on her life.

Heck, Garland can’t even remember if Mickey will be her fourth or fifth husband (the latter). What audiences

won’t forget, though, remains Ingersoll’s stunning portrayal, which explodes as soon as the stage is lit and doesn’t diminish until the final light goes out.

She’s supported with wonderful work by Thomas Conroy, who turns in his own aching performance as Anthony (and who also serves as the production’s musical director). A fine pianist in his own right, Anthony is portrayed in splendid, stiff-upper-lip fashion by Conroy, who shows Anthony’s abiding affection for Garland, as well as his deep concern for her precipitously declining mental and physical health.

Conroy also is delightful fending off the homophobic insults cast Anthony’s way by the cruelly indifferent Mickey, who’s given a consistently strong performance

by Kyle Hatley. The latter ranks as a shaded portrayal, as Hatley conveys Mickey’s genuine concern for his future wife early in the two-act work but then slowly unveils the manager’s preference of money over love in the course of the drama.

Paul Cereghino does fine work in a number of smaller roles, especially as the BBC radio interviewer trying his best, with only limited success, to save his inebriated guest from making a fool of herself on the air.

End of the Rainbow ranks as a remarkable work, given its due respect under director David New’s meticulous and affecting guidance of Max & Louie’s rendition. It’s a performance truly over the rainbow in its heartbreaking brilliance.

“Flora Borealis” Exhibition PHOTO COURTESY OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN

‌F

or summer in the area, few attractions can match the Missouri Botanical Garden, with its 79 acres of incredible plants, interactive education areas and a calendar full of events – but now, the garden’s kicking things up a notch with “Flora Borealis.”

That evening exhibition will present the grounds like never before. Named after aurora borealis, the eye-catching celestial phenomenon that occurs when charged particles from the sun collide within Earth’s atmosphere near the planet’s poles, “Flora Borealis” will play with light and multimedia elements to showcase the garden’s beauty.

Here are three reasons why “Flora Borealis” should become a must-see for area residents this summer: 1. Colors Everywhere. The “Flora Borealis” exhibition forms a unique, engrossing experience, with moving images, lights, shadows and sounds giving the garden a mysterious glow. With something new and colorful to see around every corner, it will be as if visitors are immersing themselves within a rainbow as

they wander a 1-mile path through the grounds.

“We’re partnering with a company from Canada called Christie 360, and they’ve done shows like this in other places around the world,” says Katie O’Sullivan, the garden’s senior public information officer. “We love having the ability to showcase the existing beauty and architecture on our grounds in this way.”

2. Magic After Dark. Something about nighttime changes how people view things that are otherwise familiar to them. That’s especially true with “Flora Borealis.” With colored lights swirling visitors’ perceptions at every turn, the garden takes on a magical quality, giving its flora and fauna a new look.

The garden has already enjoyed success with this stratagem in its annual Lantern Festival and Garden Glow, a winter extravaganza of holiday lights – so why not try something under the summer sky, too?

“From Garden Glow during the wintertime, we’ve seen the reaction of people who enjoy seeing the garden at night and with lights as an added element,” O’Sullivan says. “We’re just figuring out another way to

incorporate that guest feedback into a summer event.”

3. Cheers to the Biergarten! Visitors may want to cool off with a few tasty beverages before their trip through “Flora Borealis.” The garden’s tented biergarten makes a nicely shaded hot spot for local beer, creative cocktails, snacks and – on select nights – live music.

It helps turn a visit into a family-friendly evening in line with the garden’s other signature activities and attractions, like the Whitaker Music Festival and the newly renovated Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum.

“We try to offer a robust series of events, but given the feedback about the garden at night, we really wanted to be able to provide ‘Flora Borealis’ to guests,” O’Sullivan says.

“Flora Borealis” opens to the public on Friday, June 29, and runs at dusk nightly through Aug. 26, excluding Wednesdays in July. Reserved member and nonmember tickets are available for specific times.

Artists’ Sake

An area organization strives to leverage the power of art at both the individual and the community level.

A

RT.

In 144-point gothic type Rothkoed to within an inch (make that two) of its liveliness, that three-letter term graces the website of the Maplewood nonprofit Artists First – and nothing could seem more emblematic, in multiple contexts.

Above those three letters appears the phrase “We believe in”; below them, a trio of handily acronymic terms, namely “acceptance,” “respect” and “trust.”

Artists First characterizes itself as an “open art studio fostering independence through self-expression,” according to its website. The nonprofit “provides aspiring artists of all abilities access to quality materials, expansive studio space, respectful guidance and a friendly, supportive community” and serves “adults with disabilities, youth with and without disabilities, and current and former armed services members.”

Sheila Suderwalla – herself an award-winning artist and social worker – serves as executive director of Artists First.

“Although we focus on adults with disabilities, adolescents and veterans,” she says of the organization, which received its 501(c)3 status seven years ago, “we also consider bringing art into the community by means of integration, healing, support, working together and finding common ground to be an important part of our mission.”

Beyond furthering “the personal and financial growth of over 200 disenfranchised individuals annually,” Suderwalla touts Artists First for “spearheading initiatives such as interactive public art, community art exhibits that promote understanding and inclusion, and also through diverse partnerships with other art organizations, educational institutions and social service agencies locally and nationally.

“We also welcome some of the artists who are turned away by other arts organizations because their needs require not only the attention of art facilitators but also the guidance of professionals with intensive backgrounds in working with diverse populations.”

– SheIlA SuderwAllA Often, the website suggests, growth and achievement of the artists entail considerable effort and attention. The website’s bio of multimedia artist Ricky Douglas, for example, identifies him as “an adult with autism” who has involved himself with Artists First for several years. Dave Walter’s bio, similarly, states that he “came to artmaking to rehabilitate his fine motor skills after suffering a brain injury” – and that his work serves as a reminder “of what he has lost and gained.”

Emphasizing the nonprofit’s inclusiveness, multiple slideshows on the website also

On a daily basis, I’m reminded why we do what we do because in all honesty, Artists First is truly a labor of love.

spotlight the splendid creative diversity of Artists First’s participants. Paul Stanton’s simple paintings exhibit a cartoonish Nakia Jones bonhomie, for instance, while Julie Hart deals in abstract miniatures whose intricacies of line and color demand months of effort; Angela Gee, meanwhile, has attracted considerable attention with her playful, untitled multimedia works. Lindsay Haupert creates astonishingly lovely 3D paper art, Billy Drope specializes in leathercraft and Nakia Jones leans toward jewelry. (One Artists First participant, it bears noting, has even enjoyed separate earlier coverage in Ladue News: Jasmine Raskas, in the August 2017 Art and Soul, with Powered by Light, a 30- by 40-inch abstract acrylic on stretched canvas in whose presentation Raskas last year sought to bridge the sometimes seemingly incompatible worlds of art and science.)

Suderwalla takes a moment to project, with hope, the nonprofit’s near-term future, in which both volunteerism and tax-deductible donations likely will play prominent parts. “In five years, I hope that Artists First has the financial resources to continue to grow and implement innovative programming for our community’s disenfranchised and underserved members,” she says.

“I hope, through our efforts to raise our visibility in the community and also market our artists’ work more effectively, that we can ensure that our artists are respected as serious artists and their work will be valued and collected.”

Ultimately, with a certain understandable pride, Suderwalla dwells at length on some of the nonprofit’s brightest points since its founding. “On a daily basis, I’m reminded why we do what we do because in all honesty, Artists First is truly a labor of love,” she says. “There are many successes that are directly related to the programs at Artists First, be it the one homeless artist who earned enough from his artwork to obtain and maintain an apartment; the veteran suffering from [post-traumatic stress disorder] who would not leave his home until he found Artists First; the artist diagnosed with autism who was mostly nonverbal before he became a part of the

52

JuNe 29, 2018 | LadueNews.com

Artists First collective; the artist with developmental disabilities who started at Artists First with low self-esteem, which often led to her being exploited, [but] became a confident woman who advocates for herself and feels for the first time in her life a sense of worth and belonging.”

Suderwalla concludes her recitation by mentioning an “artist who cried tears of pride when she saw her artwork published, stating, ‘My whole life people told me I couldn’t learn and I was stupid, but now I know that’s not true!’”
