letter

from the

EDITOR ‌AT THE END OF JULY, I’LL BE ENJOYING A BELOVED SUMMER TRADITION: family vacation. I’m looking forward to getting a little rest and relaxation while catching up with the people I love most. As much fun as I know we’re bound to have, I can’t say it will be an adventure like the travel story featured in this week’s Arts & Culture section.

Starting on p. 60, writer/photographer Arthur Hoffman shares his experiences on safari in Africa. During a tour through Lufupa camp in Zambia, Hoffman describes a rather unexpected road block on the one-lane track: three elephants feeding on lush undergrowth. Hoffman’s photos from the safari are just as rich and vivid as his account of the trip; I especially enjoyed his photos of a lioness napping in the road, a pair of giraffes snacking on trees and brush, and a rainbow appearing over the mighty, roaring Victoria Falls.

Whether your summer vacation plans involve white-sand beaches in Florida or somewhere much more farflung, I hope this story inspires you to take an adventure of your own.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

isitors to the Saint Louis Art Museum will have the chance to experience 300 years of men’s fashion all in one place.

“Reigning Men: Fashion in Menswear, 1715-2015” is on display at the museum from June 25 to Sept. 17 and will celebrate the rich history of men’s attire through the ages.

Textile conservator Zoe Perkins and assistant curator Genevieve Cortinovis speak highly of the collection’s variety and the way it’s displayed.

“Rather than approach the exhibition chronologically, it’s divided into five themes,” Perkins says.

When the exhibition, which comes to St. Louis from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, was originally assembled, curators kept seeing recurring themes in the clothing through the years, and decided arranging it thematically would intrigue its viewers.

“This exhibition was presented to us and Kean Etro, Italian, born 1964; for Etro, Ensemble (detail), fall/ winter 2014-15, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, gift of was a rare opportunity for us to showcase men’s Etro; photo © Museum Associates/LACMA costume,” Perkins says. “Many costume shows don’t travel because of the delicacy of the clothing, so it was an opportunity we jumped on. Fashion is an art form that relates to all other arts.”

Perkins says one of the exhibition’s highlights is a complete zoot suit ensemble with pleated trousers.

“While it’s been documented and written about, there’s only one known example to exist,” Perkins says.

The exhibition contains more than 150 looks and examines how elements of the

uniform have shaped fashionable dress. From the 18th-century three-piece suit to the 21st-century “skinny suit,” “Reigning Men” is a journey through the themes and cultures that have shaped menswear through the years.

Cortinovis says her favorite parts of the exhibition include some of the historic and contemporary fashions. She notes the macaroni ensemble of the 1770s and the use of pastels paired with extravagant wigs.

“They’ve been able to re-create so many looks,” she says. “There’s such an amazing amount of research, time and energy that go into the presentation of the mannequins.”

Cortinovis hopes visitors will leave the exhibition with an understanding that menswear has been “as dynamic and impactful as women’s fashion.” She says she also hopes visitors can look at fashion in the context of the Saint Louis Art Museum and other art forms and make connections between them.

Both curators note the approachability of the exhibition, saying that it’s accessible and enjoyable for all people, regardless of their interests.

“People can truly take away from it what they want. They can just look at costumes or delve deeper into the social aspect of the costumes,” Perkins says. “There’s something for everyone here. It’s a feast for the eyes.”

ariety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis recently celebrated 85 years of helping St. Louis-area kids with special needs at a black-tie gala, Dinner With the Stars, at the Peabody Opera House, featuring singer/songwriter James Taylor. Born in Boston and raised in North Carolina, Taylor, of course, first earned worldwide recognition with his 1970 album, Sweet Baby James, and the hit single “Fire and Rain”; he then enjoyed the biggest hit of his career with the No. 1-peaking “You’ve Got a Friend,” which earned him his first Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance in 1971. In an equally noteworthy way, Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis helps children with physical and intellectual disabilities reach their full potential. Honorary chairperson at this year’s gala was Marilyn Fox. Carol Voss was named Woman of the Year; Warner Baxter, Man of the Year.

he nonprofit Cathedral Concerts, which brings musical artists from around the globe to St. Louis, hosted its annual gala April 30 at Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. This event supports the nonprofit’s mission of presenting affordable live concerts in the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis featuring world-class musicians and the finest repertoire of sacred and classical music for the cultural enrichment, education and enjoyment of the region. Attendees that evening enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a brief oral auction, an elegant dinner prepared by the hotel’s chefs and a special live performance by world-renowned soprano Christine Brewer with pianist Gail Hintz. Cathedral Concerts’ Great Music Award went to Centene Corp. chairman, president and CEO Michael and Noémi Neidorff for their passion, exemplary leadership and outstanding continued support of the arts here.

Bill and Marsha Rusnack served as honorary co-chairs of this year’s gala. The Centene Charitable Foundation’s tremendous generosity allowed all funds collected that night, almost $100,000, to go directly to the programs presented at the cathedral.

Cathedral Concerts has always been the ‘little concert series that could.’ We have striven to bring the best artists from around the world for the past 24 years. These include such world-renowned groups as the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields; Chanticleer; the Vienna Boys’ Choir; the Choir of Westminster Abbey, London; and the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, just to name a few. We are looking forward to our 25th-anniversary season and continuing to bring performers of the highest level to St. Louis so everyone can experience them in live performance.

omen of Achievement recently held its annual luncheon in The Zodiac at Neiman Marcus. Co-hosting the event were Allen Barber (Neiman Marcus’ vice president/ general manager) and Teri Rafferty (the retailer’s public relations manager).

Honoring the 2017 recipients of the Women of Achievement Awards – which went to 10 extraordinary volunteers from the St. Louis metropolitan area – were Barber and Women of Achievement’s president, Joni Karandjeff, as well as its vice president, Gwendolyn Packnett, Ph.D.; its luncheon chair, Gin Wachter; and its vice chair, Phyllis Langsdorf. Other officers of the organization, luncheon committee chairs and last year’s awardees also attended. Barber and Rafferty presented each honoree with a trellis-textured porcelain vessel topped with a sprig of pink hydrangea and filled with a signature scented candle by Jay Strongwater. Notably, Neiman Marcus floral arrangements beautified the tables. Founded in 1955, Women of Achievement ranks as the oldest ongoing program in the area whose sole mission constitutes honoring and recognizing the volunteer service and leadership of women.

We are honored to partner with the Women of Achievement for over 20 years to celebrate and recognize their leadership in the St. Louis community. It is such an honor to host the luncheon for Women of Achievement. The honorees represent such a wonderful example of community leadership and involvement.

St. Louis-based Scavenge + Bloom offers practical handmade housewares with a whimsical twist.

A

petite planter in the shape of a llama wearing a monocle recently garnered local ceramics artist Chelsea Wilkins a whopping 15,000 likes on Etsy’s Instagram account and resulted in what Wilkins calls “an unexpected, but awesome” spike in sales.

The whimsical piece is among Wilkins’ line of fun and functional pottery from her St. Louis-based business, Scavenge + Bloom. “I love functional pieces of art,” Wilkins says. “My pieces are like [the unique home décor] you would find at Anthropologie.”

Wilkins, who earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri, and a teaching certificate at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, was a part-time art teacher at a local private school for two years before striking out on her own artistic career path. “I had this fine art vision that evolved into decorative, functional housewares,” she says.

Last fall, Wilkins launched Scavenge + Bloom with a line of ceramic home goods, including plates, platters, bowls, napkin rings, travel mugs, coin banks and planters. The best-selling planters are available in a variety of animals, from pigs to flamingos, and the most popular selection – llamas. Wilkins calls the creations “monomals,” a combination of the words animal and monocles, which are worn by each creature.

Chelsea Wilkins Wilkins crafts her housewares out of her basement studio, which is outfitted with a slab roller and medium-size kiln. She handcrafts each piece, apart from watercolor travel mugs that she purchases and paints and spherical coin globes, which are made in Wilkins’ design by Golden Kiln in St. Louis, before she glazes them.

Although Wilkins typically crafts pieces in bulk in about a four- to six-week period, she also takes custom orders, including monogrammed

26

june 30, 2017 | LadueNews.com

items. She likewise makes it a point to locally purchase all of her materials, including clay and glaze from Krueger Pottery Supply in Webster Groves and art supplies from Artmart in Brentwood.

Wilkins has shaped her pottery-making skills through the years with ceramics classes in high school and college, later picking up more in-depth knowledge from two local mentors who are master potters. “I learned a lot of technical things from [my mentors], and I get a ton of advice from Krueger Pottery Supply, which has been willing and able to help me,” she says.

Recently, Wilkins has started to find her design aesthetic, which she describes as eclectic bohemian. “I like the handmade aesthetic that doesn’t look mass-produced,” she says. “And I use neutral tones with pops of color.”

Although each of Wilkins’ pieces is unique, the trademark on all of them is a 22-karat gold detail. You’ll find the gold shimmering from the monocles of her animal planters and as shiny speckles or borders on her dishes. “I like to use gold on all my pieces,” she says. “It adds a little fun and fancifulness to it.”

Scavenge + Bloom also has two new lines in the works. The first line is natureinspired, incorporating real flowers and weeds into the pottery, including platters bordered with gold-lined vines.

“I am dipping the actual plant into liquid clay and laying it on the platter, then I fire it,” Wilkins says. The second line features hand-drawn fibers on the pottery, including coasters with hand-drawn quilt block illustrations inspired by vintage quilts, all also designed and illustrated by hand. The new fiber line was inspired by Wilkins’ family history of vintage quilt-makers on both her mother’s and father’s sides of the family, from the artist’s aunts to her grandmothers. Wilkins’ grandmother has sewn more than 50 quilts for her children and grandchildren. “Vintage quilts have such a great quality to them, and so much work goes into them,” Wilkins

says. “They are very charming but also functional.”

Wilkins’ pottery is also inspired by ceramics artists such as Molly Hatch, whose creative home goods can be found at Anthropologie.

She otherwise draws inspiration from nature and fashion photography in magazines from National Geographic to Vogue. “It gives me a hint of what’s trending,” she notes. The photos serve as a starting point in Wilkins’ design process, which continues with writing and sketching ideas before handcrafting, painting, glazing and firing her pottery pieces.

Scavenge + Bloom’s lines are available online through Etsy and locally at Flowers & Weeds floral shop on Cherokee Street and Union Studio art shop in Botanical Heights. Wilkins’ pottery also will appear at the Strange Folk Festival in Lafayette Park in St. Louis from Sept. 22 to 24.

Wilkins will be the first to admit her creations are not the typical home goods – and she and her clients like it that way. “I don’t do typical pottery,” she says.

“A lot of the shops and the customers appreciate that it looks unique and different.”

Bringing ng ng Visions

By Robyn Dexter Photos by Toby Weiss/Mosby Building Arts

R

emodeling a home is no easy feat.

Many times, however, it’s unnecessary to do a full home remodel when a room addition can give a client what he or she is really seeking.

Designers like Jill Worobec at Mosby Building Arts help clients achieve their dream home without having to leave the one they’re in. Mosby handles ground floor additions, adding a story to the home, family room, breakfast room additions, sunroom and more. Mosby’s professionals can even help clients add a new wing to their home or simply assist with space planning.

When a previous Mosby client came to Worobec looking to add a master suite and deck to her home, Worobec figured out how to best implement the vision to the University City ranch home.

For the master suite, the client planned to expand her house into her backyard. She wanted to take her current master bedroom location, flip it with the location of the guest bedroom and push the back wall out. This would enable her to have a large master bathroom with new closets. For the existing master bedroom, she sought to make it a secondary master bedroom when family came to visit.

Worobec got to work and made her client’s

30

dream a reality – all while keeping with the home’s existing theme.

She and the Mosby staff pushed the master bedroom out 3 feet and put in a new cedar deck to create a nice outdoor living area.

“The client also wanted to vault her ceiling, so we were able to do that and install a chandelier,” Worobec says.

In the master bath, the client “had a lot of fun shopping,” Worobec says. “She was very open to not having a shower door, so we did an open shower with a rain head and handheld.

We put in a half-wall and double vanity, too. It was a very confined space, but we were able to maximize it.”

One key component to maximizing the space was elevating the vanities. Worobec says they sit about 9 inches off the floor to make the space appear bigger.

“We think things through very thoroughly at Mosby,” Worobec says. “Even in the earliest stages, we’re planning how to achieve what the clients want to do. We work as a team to make sure the final outcome is exactly what the clients were expecting.”

AGENT PROFILE

Elizabeth Lochmoeller & Elizabeth Southern OF DIELMANN SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

By Amanda Dahl ‌ hen Elizabeth Lochmoeller and Elizabeth W Southern became friends, they could not imagine how far their friendship would take them. Through career and life changes, it ultimately led to a beautiful partnership as agents for Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, where they found that, together, they could make real estate dreams come true.

Each woman first had project management careers – Lochmoeller in telecommunications and Southern in commercial and residential construction.

On leaving those jobs to raise their children, they got invested in the community through volunteering. “When we re-entered the workforce, our project management backgrounds, coupled with leadership and networking skills, led us into real estate,” they say. “By putting our respective strengths to use, we provide a high level of service to our clients and assist in reducing the stress brought [on] by the buying or selling process.”

After becoming licensed in 2016, Lochmoeller and Southern, who value integrity and honesty, developed a mantra for their newfound profession: “Always put your client’s needs first – and never sell yourself short.”

“Our 15-plus years of friendship enabled us to set up a business model that utilizes both of our strengths,” they share. Lochmoeller leads the way in organization, while Southern fields technical questions. Lochmoeller also preps houses for listing, and Southern’s engineering background serves them well when it comes time to respond to inspection reports.

From similar career paths to their solid foundation of friendship, it seemed inevitable a partnership would form. With two agents so in sync, real estate goals become achievable. “It’s the best,” they agree.

“Meeting new people and seeing the excitement on a client’s face when the perfect home is found.”

FEATURED LISTING 25 DEERFIELD ROAD This 6-bedroom, 4 full-bathroom and 2 halfbathroom home in Ladue is listed for $1.9 million.

ith her boho accessories, wide-brim hat and moto jacket, Chrissy Fogerty looks the quintessential cool kid. The CEO and designer behind one of the Central West End’s top boutiques, Fauxgerty, she carries the brand’s level of “It Girl” elegance from the showroom to her closet. Words like edgy and artistic come to mind when admiring one of her outfits.

But how does Fogerty define her personal style? She says it depends when you catch her.

“On a busy day, I am in denim, a Fauxgerty jacket and a wide-brim hat,” Fogerty says. “But my favorite outfits are a mix texture, print and have an ease to them. I love flowy dresses, special jackets and bodysuits. I would say my style is over-accessorized minimalism that airs on the side of quirky.”

Outside her own boutique, Fogerty says she likes to shop locally at May’s Place – a vintage store in South City – and, for menswear, East + West, which lies down the street from her own storefront.

“East + West has such a wonderful collection of apparel and skin care,” she says. “And they support

indie designers, which I really appreciate.”

Fogerty notes the midi dress as her top summer silhouette, pointing out the Fauxgerty Florence Midi as a favorite. This wrap dress is made of sustainable hemp and lined with a vintage fabric – and is even sewn here in St. Louis.

“That combo with boots and Dannijo earrings, which is my absolute favorite jewelry designer, is a summer uniform for me,” she says.

“I also have to echo my love for a wide-brim hat. I wear them a little too often. I have been wearing the same Brixton brown felt hat for a few years, and it’s becoming a signature.”

Outside of Fogerty’s – as she puts it – hat obsession, she cites jewelry as her accessory of choice.

“Right now, I am into statement earrings, because I find them less annoying than a long necklace,” she says. “I have a rotation of three pairs as well as gold hoops that I regularly adorn.” Moving down from the ears, Fogerty doesn’t forget the fingers, noting her wedding rings and a vintage pinky ring as staples.

For style inspiration, Fogerty mentions fashion designer Jenna Lyons and actresses Sienna Miller

By Julia Cain and Kate Hudson, but adds that her inspiration frequently focuses on a broader lifestyle. Often this means turning to Instagram. “I tend to be inspired by a lifestyle, so I love looking at how everyday women incorporate the essence of themselves into their daily wardrobe,” she says.

Fogerty’s store, Fauxgerty, is best known for its “better leather” vegan leather jackets.

So what does the designer behind them wear in the summer? Like so many fashionistas, she wears what she wants, regardless of weather.

“I am a ‘more-is-more’ kind of dresser, so I layer a jacket year-round,” she says, noting Fauxgerty’s spring jacket options like the Dolma moto and Mootom bomber. “But I do gravitate toward a shoulder-drape rather than a full-on coat experience in the summer,” Fogerty confesses.

She references her 2016 nuptials, a two-day affair profiled by the quarterly magazine Martha Stewart Weddings, and says she and her groom wore custom Fauxgerty jackets – in the tripledigit June heat. “I definitely prioritize an outfit over the climate,” Fogerty concludes.

across aesthetics and occasions, nearly all feature the same “Tiny Pillows” massaging interior. This signature Walking Cradle feature provides comfort in every step, in many of the company’s shoes.

“A lot of my inspiration comes from our customers,” Wells says when asked about designing new products. “I ask myself, ‘Will she enjoy wearing this shoe? Why? What is the next trend for her? Where would the shoe fit into her lifestyle?’” Wells explains the details of the designs can be inspired by anything from a purse clasp to a vintage floral. “You get out in the world, and anything you see that is visually interesting or functionally versatile, you begin thinking, ‘How can I apply that to shoes?’”

From the company’s headquarters in Fenton, designs eventually make their way to Brazil, where most of the shoes are produced. They then travel as Walking Cradle products to stores across the country.

For St. Louisans looking for comfort, products can be found through Walking Cradle’s website or at the Von Maur at the Meadows in Lake St. Louis and Seliga Shoes in Brentwood.

If you love the product, be sure to make that known, as Walking Cradle’s customer focus extends past product offerings and into full-blown modeling campaigns.

“One thing that’s on the horizon for our company is that we’ll continue to grow the awareness of the Walking Cradle customer by having nonprofessional models as our brand representatives,” Schmitz says. Walking Cradle will host its seventh real-women photo shoot in July.

“When we started our #ItsaMatterofFit campaign in 2016, we had a casting call for women with feet of all sizes,” Schmitz says. “We’re thrilled with the number of women who show up to be considered, but [we were] surprised how many women are reluctant to model [shoes] due to their perceived idea that there should be an ideal foot.” She notes women interested in future shoots should email her at lisa@walkingcradles.com for details.

“Jamie and I continually try to encourage women with all size feet to embrace that their feet are perfect for them,” says Schmitz. “Regardless of how big, small, wide [or] narrow, we recognize that the foot fits the body!”

Lisa

e’re familiar with the adage beginning “if the shoe fits.” But what about when it doesn’t? What about when no off-the-shelf shoes fit?

For women’s feet of all shapes and sizes, Fenton-based The Walking Cradle Co. has stylish solutions.

Working under the tagline “It’s a Matter of Fit!,” Walking Cradle offers shoes in a plethora of sizes and widths – not just the standard wide or narrow, but sizes 4 through 13 in up to five widths, depending on the style. And the reason is simple: Wearing the wrong fit of shoe can cause painful problems, but a size 5 wide-wide or a 13 narrow are hard to come by.

“The message we’re trying to get out is that the younger you are when you start wearing well-made, properly fitting shoes, the less likely you are to experience the pains and problems that result from wearing poor-quality shoes,” says Walking Cradle footwear designer Jamie Wells. “Making the effort now greatly reduces the chances of needing to wear the stereotypical ‘comfort shoe’ later in life.”

Creative director Lisa Schmitz notes a recent experience in which the problems of women’s footwear were perfectly showcased: a wedding. “It was near the end of the night, and a huge group of women all came together in a circle on the dance floor,” she says. “The lady next to me said, ‘Your shoes are so cute, but your feet must be killing you!’ My enthusiastic response was ‘No, as a matter of fact, my feet feel great!’”

Schmitz says she then realized the standard endof-wedding activity had begun: Most of the women had kicked off their formal shoes and were opting to walk around barefoot.

“When women see someone still wearing their shoes at the end of the day, they want those shoes, too,” Schmitz says.

“So our mission is actually pretty simple. ‘It’s a Matter of Fit!’ starts with wearing the right size and ends with not needing to take your shoes off.”

To avoid that barefoot-in-public moment, Walking Cradle offers a variety of styles from the classic Blaire perforated ballet flat to the on-trend Nola lace-up sandal heel. And although the designs range

onnecting with the community is pivotal to changing it for the better.

Executive director Josh Wilson began with that seemingly simple idea when he founded Mission: St. Louis by creating partnerships with local schools. Those relationships broadened as the community revealed a new need.

“We are committed to addressing deep-rooted issues of poverty,” Wilson says. “Education plays a big role.

With Beyond School, our educational component, we focus on literacy and math – and that led us to other needs of the students and their families. We saw hope came from the idea of opportunity. How work plays into that scenario makes a big difference with identity and economically.”

As a result, Beyond Jobs was born. “We take 120 guys through a yearlong process of workforce development,” Wilson explains. “We became the bridge between men in our neighborhood, who were excited and motivated to change their lives, and St. Louis employers. With roughly 500 graduates coming through, we noticed some needed to work a little closer with us to become a part of the economic development of our city.

We developed a social incubator by starting a thrift store, where they could enter the workforce through a training ground. That concept really flourished, serving them well by providing

44

transferable skills to other job markets.”

Revive goes beyond expectations. “This is not your typical thrift store,” Wilson shares. “It’s fashionforward, with an unbelievable team behind it. It’s more Anthropologie than Goodwill. It has much more of a boutique feel. We get quality items people want to wear and want to decorate their homes with – both new and used. We also partner with local businesses who donate their product to us, from dry-cleaners to jewelry stores to furniture companies - and we’re always looking for additional partners.”

As Mission: St. Louis proves, connecting with

your community is as easy as shopping. “When you shop at Revive, you invest in the lives of the families we serve, but also, the idea of what it looks like for a community to rally around the restoration of our city,” Wilson says. “The beautiful thing about Mission: St. Louis is not just its idea of restoration in one’s life but also [of one’s] dignity.”

Law Speak

Q&A With MARY

ELIZABETH COLEMAN ‌Mary Elizabeth Coleman, CEO of TuckerAllen Estate Planning Attorneys, refers to her work as a “passion project” that combines her entrepreneurial spirit, her career in law and her desire to help others. Ladue News recently spoke with Coleman about her background, her work and her passions.

When and why did you decide to pursue a career in law?

I didn’t set out to be a lawyer. I grew up outside of Austin, Texas, and as a teenager, I started a subscription flower service, delivering fresh flowers to clients, including judges and attorneys. So my first exposure to judges and attorneys was from delivering flowers to their offices, and they were very welcoming and gave me a good impression of the profession. And that’s when I decided I wanted to go into the legal profession.

I sold the flower business, and in 2004, I got a bachelor’s degree in management from Saint Louis University. That’s where I met my husband, and we moved to San Antonio so I could attend St. Mary’s University School of Law. How did you end up back in St. Louis?

I took a position with a large regional law firm in the estate planning department. And when we had our third son during my first year of practice, we decided to move back to St. Louis to be close to my husband’s family.

How did you get involved in the Billiken Angels Network (BAN)?

Shortly after coming back to St. Louis, I reconnected with a former SLU professor and mentor, Jerry Katz, who told me about the Billiken Angels Network. The goal is to identify and invest funds and expertise in businesses that can make a positive difference to St. Louis. Since entrepreneurship has always been in my blood, BAN was a natural fit, and I was excited to get involved. Dr. Katz was developing a panel of fellows – experts from various fields such as law, medicine, accounting and engineering – who would review business plans, and I led the fellows program. It was incredibly fun and really rewarding.

How did you become involved with TuckerAllen?

Well, that relates back to BAN. Dr. Katz introduced me to Thomas Erb, chairman of Lewis Rice, which is a large law firm in St. Louis. Tom was interested in starting a specialized law firm that would provide estate planning for people of all income levels and wanted someone with business expertise to help flesh out the idea, and Dr. Katz thought of me.

48 June 30, 2017 | LadueNews.com

What is your secret to balancing time among your career work, volunteering and family?

I really don’t want to be the poster girl for “doing it all.” I love having a big family, but what works for me may not work for other people. My husband is equally involved in parenting, and I just don’t have time to watch any television!

What’s the most important thing you want people to know about TuckerAllen?

To be able to have the opportunity to make sure that everybody, not just the wealthy, would be able to have access to really quality planning is really exciting.

We have six offices and 12 attorneys, and we’ve served more than 1,000 families. … We offer a free initial consultation and fixed, transparent pricing. …

Most people just want to make sure their wishes are carried out and their loved ones are taken care of, and that’s universal, whether you have $50 or $5 million. There’s been a great need for something like TuckerAllen. It’s an incredibly rewarding practice for me as an attorney because people know they’re taking care of their loved ones, and that feels really good.

What can you do about hearing loss?

Wednesday, July 12, 2017

By Dr. Russell Hyken

‌W

ith summer finally officially here, many parents are starting to panic over an important question: “How do I keep the kids busy?”

Bored kids, of course, can easily get into trouble, spend their days in front of a screen or intentionally annoy mom and dad.

While summer can provide time to rest and recharge, it also can allow children to explore new activities or improve existing skills. What diversions children pursue, however, depend on age. Young children can be easily enrolled in day camps, but teenagers pose a different challenge because many prefer to sleep late and take charge of their own days (sometimes disastrously) rather than engage in growth-promoting activities.

So, parents, set the stage for summer productivity with a collaborative conversation.

Let your son or daughter know you want to talk, encourage him or her to bring ideas to the table and clearly state your own expectations. Avoid spontaneous discussions, because unprepared teenagers may feel as if they’re being attacked.

Most teens, in all likelihood, will firmly state they want downtime after spending nine months engaged in academic pursuits – a notion I support! Teens also need to be productive, though. So let your children catch up on much-needed slumber by setting a reasonable wake-up time, but also communicate that they must find summer jobs, volunteer for community activities or take summer classes.

In my experience, as both a parent and a professional, teens crave extra cash.

Finding employment can prove difficult, especially for first-time job seekers.

So, parents, support your children by offering concrete suggestions, including search strategies, application assistance and interview tips.

Similarly, although volunteering doesn’t expand children’s bank accounts, it can form an enriching experience that builds a “résumé” for future work and the college application process. Many high schools also require a community service component for graduation. Helping others makes a great way for kids to “give back” while gaining the knowledge, skills and responsibility needed to become an active participant in the so-called real world.

Finally, summer school may not seem like the average high schooler’s first choice for preferred ways to pass the season, but July classes are becoming more and more popular. Why? Well, some students view summer as a chance to take general classes, so they can free their regular academic schedules to pursue additional interests; others see summer classes as opportunities to pursue specialized knowledge and get a jump on college education. In the past, summer school was a way to catch up – but now, it’s also about getting ahead.

Children’s summer vacations end all too quickly, and lazy days will soon morph into alarm clocks and homework. So remember, parents, to slow down, plan some family fun and create memories that will last long after seasonal tans have faded.

Hearing loss is one of the most common conditions affecting older adults.

Michael Valente, PhD, will discuss hearingrestoration options, including the diverse choice of hearing aids and hearing assistive technologies available.

Summer Enchantment

The Magic house graces sT. John wiTh iTs gleeful Tinker Bell Touch Through early augusT.

I

n this woefully mundane if not outright malign era, a muchcherished mid-St. Louis County landmark recently extended its magical influence northward.

On June 12, The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum opened a chess-based exhibition titled “Kings, Queens & Castles” at a satellite location in the St. John Municipal Center at 8944 St. Charles Rock Road in north St. Louis County.

That free exhibition, presented in partnership with the Ritenour School District and the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each weekday until Aug. 11.

“Designed for children ages 3 to 11, ‘Kings, Queens & Castles’ brings the game of chess to life and provides an engaging introduction to individual chess pieces and game strategy,” states a press release from The Magic House.

“At the exhibit, children can explore a medieval castle complete with a drawbridge and turret slides, learn how to prepare for a game by arranging large-scale pieces on a giant chessboard floor, use their creativity to design a royal crown or a knight’s shield and even dress up like their favorite chess pieces to play a human chess game.”

Now, as anyone who’s fumbled coins and playing cards while practicing prestidigitation knows, magic demands a considerable investment of energy and attention, and according to Carrie Hutchcraft, The Magic House’s director of marketing and development, “Kings, Queens & Castles” scarcely constitutes an exception.

“In 2014, the World Chess Hall of Fame reached out to The Magic House to commission the exhibit,” Hutchcraft says, referring to an entity related to the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. “They had hoped to create a family-friendly exhibit that would help to teach the game of chess.

As experts in creating child-friendly, hands-on learning experiences, we were excited about the opportunity to work with them.

“The exhibit first opened in October 2015 at the World Chess Hall of Fame. Then The Magic House hosted it in fall 2016. Following our hosting, it began to travel to other children’s museums before making its way back to the St. Louis area for our summer in St. John.”

Hutchcraft adds that the staff at the Kirkwood Road enchantment emporium, a not-for-profit organization, “put a great deal of time and effort into creating this exhibit. The Magic House is fortunate to have an exhibit design team on staff and enjoyed working with the experts at the World Chess Hall of Fame to translate the game into the exhibit experience.”

With regard to the exhibition’s current site in North County, Hutchcraft says: “The Magic House had been exploring the idea of hosting an exhibit in areas of need in St. Louis. We had explored a few ideas but did run into some challenges of finding the right location. We were able to connect with the superintendent of the Ritenour School District, who also volunteers on our Education Advisory Committee and who likewise was excited about the opportunity, and [he] helped us identify the St. John Municipal Center.”

Beyond that tip of the standard magician’s toff topper to Chris Kilbride, the superintendent in question, Hutchcraft continues

by agreeing that the exhibition could be viewed as a quantum leap beyond The Magic House’s previous outreach and inclusiveness efforts.

“Throughout its history, education has been at the core of The Magic House’s mission,” states it website about those efforts. “Over 60,000 children visit the museum each year for curriculum-enriching field trip experiences that support classroom learning and meet state and national standards. An additional 25,000 children participate in the museum’s outreach programs that take place in area classrooms, libraries and hospitals.”

Since opening in 1979 as the first totally participatory museum designed solely for children, The Magic House has attained national prominence, now including 55,000 square feet of exhibitions (10 times its original space) and serving more than 560,000 visitors each year, according to the website.

The local landmark has dedicated itself to inclusiveness, in particular welcoming in various ways St. Louis-area children with the fewest opportunities. In that regard, Hutchcraft provides a bit more background on the effort that ultimately involved the St. John Municipal Center.

“The idea of a satellite location became an important topic during our most recent strategic planning process,” she says. “As we were exploring The Magic House’s future, visitors, board members and community leaders shared their desire to ensure that we continue to provide our experiences with all children, even those who aren’t able to physically make it to The Magic House.

“We wanted to find a way to get more involved and have a larger presence in the community, especially over the summer. During the school year, we work closely with school districts in higher-need areas. The opportunity to offer an exhibit in north St. Louis County over the summer is completely aligned with our mission and work.”

As an added attraction, the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis will offer weeklong half-day summer camp sessions contiguous in the St. John Municipal Center to “Kings, Queens & Castles.” In them, enrollees can improve their skills and learn even more about chess. The remaining sessions – both morning (9 a.m. to noon) and afternoon (1 to 4 p.m.) – will run from July 10 to 14 and from Aug. 7 to 11. Fees per enrollee cost $30 for half a day and $50 for a full day (excluding lunch). Those desiring details or seeking to register should email scholastics@saintlouischessclub.org.

Otherwise, in an alakazam wrapup, Hutchcraft characterizes her and her colleagues’ excitement about the St. John exhibition as high, confessing that they feel “thrilled to host our ‘Kings, Queens & Castles’ exhibit in St. John this summer. Through the opening of this location, we’re able to further our mission of providing all children in the St. Louis area with hands-on educational experiences.

“Additionally, we’ve been able to work with the Ritenour School District to identify new staff members and volunteers to join us in the space as well, providing more work and learning experiences for older students from the area. We look forward to meeting many new families and making new friends at our North County satellite this summer.”

Dinner ...

C

lassic rock and American comfort food have combined for an addition to Chesterfield’s dining scene: Rock & Brews, a concept from KISS frontmen Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.

That chain, which opened here in November in the space previously occupied by Estancia, originated in El Segundo, California, in 2010 as a partnership between those two musicians, restaurateur Michael Zislis and concert promoters Dave and Dell Furano.

This marks the third opening for regional franchisee and managing partner Kirk Williams, following locations in Overland Park, Kansas, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Chesterfield location, the 20th for the chain nationally, constitutes the first in Missouri.

The 8,600-square-foot restaurant seats more

than 300 guests. Its 35 TVs feature classic rock videos synced with the house sound system amid an assortment of music paraphernalia – everything from concert posters to drums as light fixtures.

The casual, family-friendly atmosphere offers something for all ages. A large, enclosed dog-friendly patio, for example, features skylight seating, a children’s play area and a fire pit for guests to warm themselves during colder months.

“I think one of the things I’m proudest of is how good our food is – it’s very affordable, all-American comfort food,” Williams says. “We offer a great glutenfree crust for our pizza and have excellent burgers and appetizers. Our Bavarian pretzel is actually made in Germany, finished here in the U.S. and served with a house beer-cheese sauce.”

By Mabel Suen From the menu, diners can choose from starters such as bruschetta and wings in a variety of flavors; a sweet-and-spicy Asian-style wing has become the house favorite. Salads and a low-calorie section follow in the menu. Entrées include Kansas City-style baby back ribs, fish tacos, Big City Reds hot dogs and burgers made with fresh-ground chuck.

Pizzas are also available, in 10- and 16-inch widths, in topping combinations like the Spicy Maui Wowie: house tomato sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, pineapple and jalapeños.

Desserts include temptations like the restaurant’s signature Purple Rain Drops – six chocolate-filled French donuts with powdered sugar, raspberry sauce and whipped cream.

Rock & Brews a great pit stop before catching a showing of Seussical from STAGES St. Louis.

Otherwise, during the next year or so, the kitchen plans to develop and dish three areaspecific items, such as pork steaks or pulled-pork sliders smoked in-house.

Finally, tipplers should feel welcome at Rock & Brews. From the main bar, they can choose from roughly 50 craft and international beers on tap, with almost 50 more available by the bottle.

Wine and specialty drinks are also available. A separate bar near the entrance features 16 taps with exclusively Missouri-brewed beers, including Schlafly and Urban Chestnut.

“It’s a place you can come with your family,” Williams says. “You can relax and have a beer here. I think you’re going to be pleased with the quality of food across the whole menu.”

‌Story: A young child discovers a colorful hat on an empty stage. Up pops the Cat in the Hat, who proceeds to create a story that demonstrates how “thinks” can imagine a world.

The Cat in the Hat gives the boy the role of JoJo, son of the mayor in the world of Who, a planet that exists on a speck of dust that’s discovered by Horton the Elephant. Horton, a kindly sort, is ostracized in the Jungle of Nool by the Sour Kangaroo, the monkey Wickersham Brothers and others. He’s the object of admiration, though, from his good-hearted neighbor, Gertrude McFuzz, she of the solitary feather on her tail.

Horton takes it upon himself to protect the Whos, but the monkeys take the clover containing the world of the Whos away from Horton. A black-bottomed eagle named Vlad Vladikoff then nabs the clover and drops it in a field “100 miles wide.” Horton resolves to find that one clover, but as he nears investigation of the 3 millionth clover, he loses hope.

At that point, he sees his friend, the cocky Mayzie La Bird, on a nest nearby. Mayzie convinces Horton to sit on her nest while she takes a “vacation” that stretches for nearly a year.

Horton eventually is sold, perch and all, to the Circus McGurkus, where he’s inadvertently visited by Mayzie.

She tells him he can keep her egg, so Horton becomes determined to take care of the egg lest it be alone.

Later, he goes on trial before the citizens of the Jungle of Nool for essentially being different. When Gertrude finds Horton, she brings with her the clover with the Whos, who make a mighty noise to verify their existence. As a result, the Sour Kangaroo and others conclude that maybe Horton’s OK after all.

Highlights: A spirited cast guided by artistic director Michael Hamilton keeps the pace snappy and the fun going full throttle in STAGES St. Louis’ lively “Theatre for Young Audiences” production of Seussical.

Other Info: The 75-minute, one-act musical, based mostly on the books Horton Hears a Who!, Horton Hatches the Egg and Miss Gertrude McFuzz by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), constitutes a shortened version called Seussical for Young Audiences that premiered at Kansas City, Missouri’s Coterie theater.

The original, two-act Seussical musical debuted on Broadway in 2000, with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, who together wrote the book based on an idea conceived by them and Monty Python trouper Eric Idle.

Ellen Isom’s engaging and entertaining choreography puts the 10-player ensemble through some amusing motions. Costumes designed by Garth Dunbar look whimsical in style and execution, while Jeff Behm provides supplemental lighting to enhance the presentation.

Leading the energetic, effervescent cast is

By Mark Bretz

Ryan Cooper as the wisecracking Cat in the Hat, along with a few other characters, such as the dastardly Vlad Vladikoff and the lumbering judge, Yertle the Turtle.

Cooper delights throughout, whether mingling with the audience or exhorting other characters to run with their “thinks.”

STAGES offers an informative and enjoyable student program for kids seeing this sprightly version, as well as games and crafts at the “preshow experience,” followed by a meet-and-greet with members of the cast at the show’s conclusion. Kids will have a good time, for sure, but Hamilton’s smooth guidance makes Seussical entertaining for all ages.

Arts Speak

Q&A

With ANDREA

HENRY THARIAN

‌A visual artist living and working in St. Louis, Andrea Henry Tharian received her Bachelor of Arts degree in enameling from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2007.

She then lived and worked on the East Coast, where she co-started an artist-run gallery in Brooklyn, managing ambitious weekend pop-up art shows in people’s apartments.

In addition to having exhibited her work nationally, Tharian was a 2014 recipient of an Artist Support Grant from the Regional Arts Commission (RAC), which culminated in a solo show, “Haven,” last year at the Kranzberg Arts Center.

Tharian’s work is currently on exhibit at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild through July 22.

How did you discover your artistic talent?

I remember being a little kid, really around the age of 6, when I declared, “I’m going to be an artist.” I always loved drawing and painting as a kid. As I went through school, I was fortunate enough to have really supportive and encouraging art teachers, especially in middle school and high school – those were the people that really kept pushing me toward pursuing a career in the arts. My parents are also very supportive of what each of their children chose to do – I feel that definitely helped.

Tell us about the RAC Artist Support Grant you received.

I was basically taking a ceramics course at [St. Louis Community College] Meramec just to get back in the studio and find a supportive group of artists, because sometimes it helps to make work in a community. I was playing with these clay forms and thought, “I wonder if these could fill an entire gallery space.” That’s basically what I proposed to the RAC. I got awarded the grant and used that money to buy 500 pounds of earthenware clay and a slab roller and got my work fired at Meramec so I could use their kilns. That grant was great – without that resource, I don’t think I would have been as courageous to take that hit to my personal bank account.

What inspires your art?

Right now, a lot of it is inspired by nature – plants, leaves, flowers and succulents. I like to spend a lot of time outside, and that’s when I feel the most at peace and the best version of myself. … It’s all over the map – my art is a reflection on what I’m thinking at the moment.

What artists inspire you?

One of my favorite painters of all time is Alice Neel.

She was a gorgeous portrait painter who would just paint portraits of people in her life in New York. [Her work was] a narrative of all the people she encountered.

I also like Artemisia Gentileschi – she was a Renaissance artist, one of the only or few females that was painting

58 June 30, 2017 | LadueNews.com

at the time. The fact that she was able to pursue what she felt was her calling despite all the circumstances around her, I’ve always admired her for that.

Where is your art available?

Some of it is at Union Studio on Tower Grove Avenue.

They’re very supportive of St. Louis artists. My pieces from “Haven” are available there, with hanging armatures you can use to hang the pieces in your home. If anyone wanted to purchase work, they could contact me.

What are future goals for your art?

Right now, I’m in school to become an art teacher. …

I’m trying to navigate how my artwork’s going to come into play when I’m teaching full time, but my goal is to keep making work and to be honest with myself – to try and focus on the things I want to be making and are the most true to me, and worry less about how other people perceive it or what I think I should be doing.

Expect the

Unexpected Story and photos by Arthur Hoffman

An AfricAn sAfAri is As rEAl As rEAl gEts, with surprisEs guArAntEEd At Almost EvEry turn.

T

he unexpected forms the essence of a safari’s attraction. One example should make that point.

We were leaving Lufupa camp in Zambia, heading for its dirt airstrip to fly to another camp, when our guide braked the Land Rover. Ahead of us, blocking the one-lane track, loomed three elephants – a big male, female and young elephant, feeding on the lush undergrowth.

Cameras instantly up, we clicked away. Then two more elephants joined the three in the road. The big male turned to the Land Rover and flared its ears. “Keep your distance,” it was signaling us. It moved toward the vehicle, with another smaller male following. Those ears flared again. Then came a trumpet. “Get out of here!” that trumpet screamed.

Then, from our flank, hidden by undergrowth, came another trumpet from an unseen male. Would it crash through the brush and broadside us?

Our guide restarted the Land Rover, and it lurched forward. At first, the elephants held their line. But as we advanced, they bolted. So with trumpets ahead of us and at our side, we powered past the elephants. And everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That should illustrate what a safari’s all about – the unknown and the unexpected, wild animals in their natural habitat. We’re interlopers.

The typical safari itself observes a set structure. Participants rise early, usually 5:30 a.m., for a light breakfast at 6, with game drive starting at 6:30.

At midmorning, the guide stops and offers coffee, tea and a sweet, often shortbread made by the camp chef. Midday marks a return to camp for lunch and a siesta.

In the heat of the day, animals, too, seek shade and a nap.

After high tea at 4 p.m., the afternoon game drive starts at 4:30. Then comes a break for a sundowner drink and snack before a return to camp for drinks and dinner around 7.

Of course, not every game drive enjoys the excitement of our close encounter with Lufupa elephants. A slow day for animal sightings can give a guide an opening to share his knowledge – and it can be exhaustive, on a wide range of subjects. For example, we learned the average termite mound, which in Africa looks more like an

LEFT: A lioness naps in the road. i asked a guide why lions and other animals often use roads. “same reason we do,” he said. “it’s easier.” This lioness might have been sleeping off the prior night’s big feed after a kill. Alpha males keep busy marking their territory and protecting their pride’s females from aggressive young males. females do most of the hunting. on this safari, we saw but one of the “big five” beasts (lions, cape buffalo, leopards, elephants and rhinos): rhinos. having been aggressively poached, rhinos are being moved to closely guarded preserves to protect the species.

ABOVE: central west End residents Joyce and dr. gary campbell occupy a mokoro, a dugout canoe, in Botswana’s okavango delta. They don’t know it at this moment, but soon they’ll see a pod of five hippos at eye level. The guide poling their canoe made sure the campbells didn’t invade the space of the territorial beasts: despite their enormity, hippos can move much faster than a mokoro. hippos stay in the water during the day because of skin sun-sensitivity. At night, they move onto land and feast on plants, but despite being vegetarian, the average hippo could rip a meaty human to shreds if he or she violated its space.

An estimated 50,000 elephants inhabit Chobe National Park, Botswana, and we saw at least a few dozen of them. Botswana has only 2.2 million people in an area roughly the size of Texas. To ensure vibrant safari tourism, Botswana has wisely preserved more than 20 percent of its total area. Botswana also has diamonds and owns 10 percent of international diamond merchant DeBeers. Tourism and diamond revenues allow Botswana to give citizens free medical care and an education through doctoral degrees, including foreign universities.

Termite mound

Natives call Victoria Falls “the smoke that roars,” which seems quite accurate. The falls do, indeed, roar, and you can see the “smoke” (spray) from miles away. Those who also have seen Niagara Falls say that Victoria Falls stands in another class altogether.

Believe it or not, this shows the road to the Wilderness Tented Camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Heavier-than-usual rains transformed tracks into lagoons. All the water creates a twofold problem for safarigoers. First, the lush growth hides animals. Second, the abundance of water disperses animals. They have many, many watering holes, not just a few, as in the dry months. Still, we saw lots of animals.

ancient shrine than a home for thousands of industrious insects, might be 80 or more years old. Its above-ground conical mound represents only about a third of the total structure, with the remaining two-thirds underground. And the termites have so enriched the iron in the soil that pregnant village women often eat it to nourish their babies.

Guides scan dirt roads for animal tracks. They know, at a glance, what animal made a print, as well as its sex and rough age. The vehicle’s radio provides another way to share information on animal movements. All our camps fielded only two game drive vehicles each, so our group of 14 was divided accordingly, giving everyone a comfortable amount of space for gear in the roomy Land Rovers.

Each camp centered around a main lodge that lay open to the elements, where guests shared their meals and where lectures were conducted. Lecture subjects included cultural reasons why HIV became and remains so prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa and the political situation in Zimbabwe under President Robert Mugabe.

Guests’ tents or cabins, with en suite bathrooms with showers, stood at some distance from one another for privacy. Guest quarters were comfortable but basic; most had charging stations for camera and other device batteries.

With the camps unfenced, animals ranging from baboons to elephants could and did roam through them. This meant that guests were strictly instructed not to leave their cabins after dark without an escort.

Every night, animal sounds, such as that of hippos grazing, kept that instruction fresh in our minds.

Our safari, operated by Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) (oattravel.com), broke the routine of game drives with cultural experiences. For example, in Botswana, we visited a women’s cooperative of weavers. In Zimbabwe, meanwhile, we visited a family homestead, seeing how members of the extended family live. We also visited a school and were paired with inquisitive fourth-graders for their questions, most of which concerned the individual participant’s home and “village.”

The OAT Ultimate Africa safari included three nights each at four camps in Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe plus two nights in a hotel at the spectacular Victoria Falls. Options included a pretrip safari in the private Thornybush Reserve, outside Kruger National Park in South Africa, and a post-trip extension to Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope.

I have taken three safaris previously, in South Africa, Botswana and Kenya. One was operated by Natural Habitat Adventures (nathab. com); another, by the former Orient Express, now Belmond (belmond. com). The present safari marked our first experience with OAT. We enthusiastically recommend all three companies for their expertise in what they do – they deliver a memorable experience.

And that’s what a safari is – an experience unlike any other. Every hour of every day differs. Likewise, every camp differs. The common thread remains the unexpected. In today’s increasingly homogenous world of managed experiences, the unexpected seems rare indeed.
