from the

EDITOR ‌BEFORE BECOMING A PARENT, IT’S EASY TO HAVE PRECONCEIVED notions about how you will do things. However, it isn’t until you actually become a parent that those notions are put to the test.

Prior to our little one being born, I swore up and down that I wouldn’t be that parent who is constantly worried about the elements. To my surprise, though, I am, quite frankly, that parent who is in fact worried about all the elements under the sun – including, but not limited to, the sun. You may ask yourself, “Are they too hot?” Although you can hope and pray all day that their first words might be “too hot,” I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Luckily, in this week’s The Daily section, Ladue News contributing writer Connie Mitchell discusses youth sun protection with Dr. Carrie Coughlin, a Washington University pediatric dermatologist with Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. We hope this informative Q&A on page 48 will educate you on not only how to best protect your little ones but also what to do if it’s too late to protect them against harsh UV rays.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Preparing STudENTS

ffor an n Ever-Changing E Ch World

A

t The Wilson School, preparing youngsters with the skills they’ll need for the future is the mission. For more than 100 years, teachers and faculty have been doing just that.

Thad Falkner, the head of school, says that The Wilson School students learn 21st-century skills.

They think critically, problem-solve, are creative and collaborate with one another.

“We were founded on the idea that an education should be just as much an experience as knowledge,” Falkner says.

The small school has fewer than 200 students in grades pre-K through sixth. Each grade has one class with two teachers, “deliberately.”

“In smaller classrooms, quality teachers excel, and students’ talents are recognized and celebrated,” Falkner says.

Wilson students represent 22 different countries from around the globe and consistently rank in the top 10th percentile nationally in achievement testing. When they graduate from Wilson, they are accepted to excellent secondary schools and even go on to attend the most competitive universities down the road.

The school’s motto, “Make Your Mark a Good One,” (often referenced as MYMAGO) promotes character, ethics and healthy interaction with others. Falkner says

july 28, 2017 | LadueNews.com

By Robyn Dexter | Photos supplied by The Wilson School that Wilson graduates live the school motto in daily interactions with their peers, family and the community.

“With MYMAGO, we take a different connecting theme and wrap it around school activities. This past school year, the theme was respect,” Falkner says. “We give students an opportunity to demonstrate the theme, so they’ll take on a project to share at a schoolwide assembly.”

Several months ago, The Wilson School faculty took on the challenge of creating a “portrait” of a Wilson graduate.

“When a student leaves us, what do we want them to leave with?” Falkner says they debated.

What they came up with was a student who is curious, poised and confident, creative and collaborative, open-minded and kind, and ready for the world.

Wilson graduates consistently demonstrate empathy, helpfulness and good citizenship.

“Through integrated learning, students make connections and solve complex problems.

We believe the result of our approach is that we achieve our mission of preparing students for success in an everchanging world,” Falkner says.

fter a rousing round of golf on the beautiful Algonquin Golf Club course, guests of The American Parkinson Disease Association – Greater St. Louis Chapter returned to the clubhouse to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before listening to a Q&A with Tom Ackerman, once again honorary chair of the APDA Golf Classic in Memory of Jack Buck.

The chapter holds this event, now in its 19th year, to honor the late, great Jack Buck and his help in fighting to raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease. After dinner and a live auction that included such items as St. Louis Cardinals and Blues jerseys, awards for the day’s golf were handed out.

My mom has Parkinson’s and has been fighting it for many years, and as a board member, I’ve been able to learn quite a bit about the disease and not only help out my mom but help out the community as well.

EASY ELEGANCE

By Robyn Dexter

J

acob Laws of Jacob Laws Interior Design got a call from Ann Wimsatt of Cite Works Architects about a complete kitchen redesign and renovation. He began to work with the architect on a complete overhaul of a Town and Country home, which would turn into a multiyear project.

The starting point for the project was an addition to the home and a rework of the floor plan. They opened up the more informal back part of the house, creating a sweeping space.

“There’s a beautiful flow from the kitchen to the informal dining area to the great room,” Laws says. “It has an easy elegance.”

The client requested that the kitchen be light-filled and feel light at the same time. Laws says he likes there to be a conversation between time periods and styles, and he was inspired by the Machine Age and Ginger Rogers-era movies while he was working on this project.

“Everything in this space is very monochromatic and straightforward,” he says. “Aside from the fruit, this could be a black-and-white photo.”

Wonderful

Woodworking

LadueNews.com | july 28, 2017

St. Charles-based WunderWoods handcrafts one-of-a-kind home furnishings from local reclaimed wood.

S

cott Wunder loves all things wood: looking for wood, talking about wood and making one-of-a-kind home furnishings – with wood, of course. “People often ask me, ‘What’s your favorite wood?’” says the St. Charles-based woodworker. “But it’s like my kids – I like them all for different reasons. When you cut open a log, it’s like Christmas – you don’t know what you’re going to get.”

In 2001, Wunder’s deep-rooted passion for woodworking led him to leave his 10-year desk job as art director for an advertising agency. “My boss wanted to give me a raise, and I asked him for a chain saw instead,” Wunder says. “I was running home after work every day to do woodwork in my shop; then I got enough jobs to do it full time.”

28

july 28, 2017 | LadueNews.com

The passion project had evolved into Wunder’s business: WunderWoods.

Today, the hardwoods and custom woodworking company produces live-edge slabs, lumber and woodworking. WunderWoods also sells lumber and wood slabs to other woodworkers, including Martin Goebel of Goebel & Co. Furniture and Jermain Todd of Mwanzi Co., both custom furniture craftsmen in the St. Louis area.

Much of WunderWoods’ inventory is walnut, oak, maple, cherry, ash and elm, salvaged from area construction sites and local tree services that have removed fallen trees after storms. “I like the chase of trying to find and save logs,” Wunder says. “After storms, I am very busy.”

A large part of his growing business is custom

projects for local homes, from dining tables, countertops and kitchen islands to wine cellars and home theaters. Natural-edge wood tables and countertops are in style and in huge demand, Wunder says, adding that he cuts as many wood slabs as possible these days to keep up with the high number of orders.

To work with WunderWoods on a custom project, Wunder invites clients into his woodshop to get a first-person account of the look and feel of different species of woods, from their unique textures to interesting wormy, knotty features. “Some people like dark wood, like walnut; others like light, like maple,” he says. “It’s all based on the design of the job and what catches someone’s eye – my woodshop is like a candy store.”

Wunder completes sketches and, for more detailed projects, 3-D renderings for each desired project, and then asks the client to review and approve them.

“I cut the trees to their specifications, dry them and build the project, so they have their one-of-a-kind piece,” he says, adding that a single smaller piece can be finished in three to four months, while large-scale projects can take six to eight months.

One of WunderWoods’ recent large-scale projects was a modern wine cellar for a Clayton home. The innovative custom design featured cantilevered walnut shelves made from reclaimed trees in the homeowner’s yard. Racks, an arched doorway and beams were made from hickory salvaged by a tree service in Clayton. “The homeowner wanted to be able to see every [wine bottle] label, so I made the shelves open like a book,” Wunder says.

“These [projects] are where I get a chance to do some custom building and show it off [and] test myself to do something fun.”

The company created another custom project – a regal, rustic-chic home theater – for a French country estate in Ladue. “The homeowner brought me a picture book that had a photo of a theater in France and said, ‘I want it to look like this,’” Wunder says. The company used painted poplar milled from a local tree service for the theater’s stately features, from a wooden arch over the movie screen to custom wooden ceiling beams and moldings.

WunderWoods also has completed a number of eco-friendly commercial projects, including the Jan Phillips Learning Center for The College School in Webster Groves, where Wunder used locally salvaged oak for the building’s siding and flooring. The company also worked on the Living Learning Center at Washington University in St. Louis’ Tyson Research Center in Eureka, where it used reclaimed cedar, white oak, maple, hickory and ash from the property to create the building’s flooring, siding and trim.

Wunder is always looking for the next interesting piece of wood and dreaming up how he can best show off its unique features in one-of-a-kind items and spaces. “I’ve always liked building with wood,” he says. “It’s something real; you can see it and feel it – and it serves a purpose.”

AGENT PROFILE

Beth Schultz OF DIELMANN SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

‌B

By Amanda Dahl

eth Schultz found an unusual enjoyment for the moving process at an early age, but it wasn’t until much later that she learned she could turn that joy into a career. “While growing up, and after getting married, we moved many times,” she says. “I always enjoyed the adventurous process. Change never scared me. I loved the research [involved in finding] the perfect location.

I’d spend hours learning about St. Louis neighborhoods, schools, housing markets, et cetera. I found myself helping friends and family, thrilled at the opportunity to educate and humbled they had asked.”

Schultz worked as an adjunct professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville for 12 years, retiring to stay at home with her four children. “Once my youngest went to kindergarten, I knew I wanted to go back to work,” she recalls. “A professor of mine told me to do what I love and the rest would fall into place. You could say teaching – whether it be students, friends or my own children – has always been my greatest passion. Being a real estate agent is a natural teaching process.”

She became a real estate agent with Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, quickly adapting to the challenges of her invigorating line of work.

“This is a 24/7 job, no matter where you are, what you’re doing or if you’ve made plans,” Schultz explains. “Turning it off when needed is not an easy task. Finding balance and not letting stress take over is necessary.” That tricky balancing act proves to be worth the while for her because of the deep connection she makes with her clients.

“Residential real estate is so much more than buying and selling properties and units,” Schultz says. “It’s memories and feelings. It’s personal and unpredictable.

It’s a profession like no other, where you hold hands, walk through fire, celebrate successful endings and become a part of something important. It’s humbling and an honor to be invited to the journey.”

Q&A with

AMY LYNN JOHNSON OF KAYOSS DESIGNS

PHOTO BY J.R. JOHNSON‌

By Denise Kruse

‌Amy Lynn Johnson worked as an environmental engineer for three years before ultimately realizing it wasn’t her dream. She always knew she wanted to have her own creative product, but it was nearly a decade before her future in fashion design began to take shape. Johnson did take a valuable lesson from her time in engineering, where great order was created within chaos, leading to the name of her company: KayOss. After studying and training in fashion design in Florence, Italy, the Highland, Illinois, native returned to the St. Louis area and hit the ground running, co-founding the PRONTO Fashion Show in 2006, where she debuted her KayOss fashion line for the first time. KayOss products can be purchased at Johnson’s pop-up boutiques, with online purchases available soon.

How would you describe the aesthetic of your line?

KayOss is all about being noticed, by the fabric movement, texture, color and design – adding a classy hint of flirt and feminine edge. It feels amazing to the touch, travels well and is timeless. It’s meant to create conversation, inspire and bring out a woman’s inner goddess. My clients tell me that their husbands never comment on their clothes, but when they wear KayOss, the compliments flow.

What inspires your designs?

I am inspired by fabrics. I go to Los Angeles and New York to search for the perfect fabrics and also meet with my reps that bring in fabric from Italy and France and other countries. I am always looking wherever I am traveling! My line is always changing, now moving to as much natural fibers as possible so the clothes can breathe and feel even more amazing. I am also inspired by my surroundings through travel.

It all happens organically, which I can always see after the line is developed. I am currently taking ballet and spending a lot of time in nature, so we will see what happens next season!

Do you do all the design work, or do you work with a team?

I do the design work with input on structure from my amazing seamstresses and patternmakers. I also feel there is a design collaboration with my clients, as they request what they would like, and I get to work with so many different body types to see what moves

and flows well. I built my business on trunk shows and charity fashion shows, fitting many, many women, changing and perfecting my patterns over the last 10 years. This has really helped me to understand women’s different body types and what is necessary in designing garments that look good on their body, which in turn they feel great! That’s my favorite part: to see how happy they are. I have the best clients – most of them have become good friends over the years.

What types of clothing do you sell?

I started with skirts, then added tops, dresses, coats and, most recently, pants. I also add fun pieces to my line sometimes – cardigans, kimonos, shrugs, tights, scarves, wraps. If it fits great, they can take it; if not, I can offer to fit them and have [an item custom]-made if I have the fabric available, which usually takes about two weeks.

This allows a lot of flexibility if [the customer] would like

[the article of clothing] longer, or with sleeves, or they just need a little extra room in some areas.

How does your company have a low carbon footprint?

Everything is designed and produced in St. Louis.

I was an environmental engineer, so I keep aware of the process and work toward minimal waste as much as possible. My tag line is “If you do what you love and follow your heart, you will find your calm within the chaos.” I truly believe this. I never felt connected when I was working in engineering, and the last thing I ever thought I would be doing is designing clothing. You never know. You just cannot give up. It’s baby steps toward what feels right in your heart, so I work every day to incorporate this into all areas of my life.

f clothes make the man, and Tailored Gents makes the clothes, founder Darryl Tyler deserves a lot of credit.

Much like a coach or talent scout, Tyler turns what is into what could be, transforming wardrobes and providing men an easy outlet for custom clothing, from suits to handmade footwear.

“Tailored Gents is a lifestyle brand offering the finest luxury menswear to the modern man,” Tyler says. “Founded on traditional tailoring principles, our garments are designed and personalized to match each client’s individual taste of style without compromising quality or craftsmanship.”

Tyler launched Tailored Gents after nearly two decades in

the corporate world and several years selling luxury menswear.

Although he was ranked high among male stylists in the company, he decided to found his own business to gain more control on fabric, footwear and accessory items, along with pricing.

“I formed Tailored Gents in 2015 and began courting and trying out different factories in Italy and Asia,” he says. “The process of experimenting with different factories is expensive, as I had to make things for myself to gauge quality, turn time, consistency with measurements and pricing. I was able to secure relationships with my garment and shoe manufacturers in spring of 2016.

At that point, I went live and ended my relationship with my previous menswear company.”

Through these manufacturer relationships, Tyler helps clients create one-of-a-kind pieces perfect for their tastes, body types and lifestyles. He says there’s a healthy mix of clients who look for his assistance while designing, as well as clients who take the reins.

“Once I have a sense of my client’s style, I’ll make recommendations, and it will evolve from there,” he says, noting that most customers prefer having fabric and inspiration looks preselected. However, Tyler says this is sometimes merely the starting point. “I do have some fashion-forward clients who pick out and design their own items,” he continues, “and I’m always amazed at their creativity. I pick up many styling tips from interacting with my clients.”

Tyler is tall and slim, and he explains his physique made buying off-the-rack apparel problematic before switching to custom. As opposed to settling for ill-fitting designs made to appeal to as many sizes as possible – or paying for after-the-fact fittings – Tyler recommends working with a clothier who can accommodate one-of-a-kind body characteristics.

“The majority of my first-time clients have never experienced a custom suit – made to measure or bespoke – so they’re looking to have better-fitting clothes to address issues they have buying off the rack,” says Tyler. He also notes the design options and convenience of working with a clothier, allowing clients to select the fabric and details without the hassle of shopping. “Most of my clients live busy lives, so saving them time is very important,” Tyler says.

One of Tailored Gents’ main services is the wardrobe consultation. Before meeting, clients provide fashion and lifestyle information about the goals of their wardrobe and favorite brands. After the questionnaire involved in that step and a new client call, it’s time for an initial meeting.

“We will discuss their long-term objectives of what they envision as a perfect wardrobe for personal and professional settings,” Tyler says. “From there, I recommend some staple items every man should have in their wardrobe and suggest a few pieces that reflect their personality.”

Tyler explains that most new clients have an immediate need (a replacement suit or sport coat, for example, or a tuxedo for an event), so after that has been addressed, other pieces are identified and added over time. He aims to meet with his clients at least twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Tailored Gents assists men primarily in the St. Louis area, although Tyler says he does have a dozen or so clients across the country. He notes entrepreneurs, doctors, bankers, military officers, sales representatives and financial advisers as frequent clients, but says variances in price point allow for a diverse audience.

“A [Tailored Gents] man is someone who has influence within their social and professional settings and understands that his wardrobe is part of his personal branding,” Tyler says. “He invests in himself and works with a stylist/clothier to establish a plan and execute over time as he would his accountant with tax planning, attorney with legal protection or financial adviser with asset accumulation. My goal is for my client to enjoy wearing everything in his closet, not just the popular few items in the front.”

A Danforth for Today

‌T

By Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande

he June 14 shooting in the nation’s capital, which left the majority whip of the House of Representatives critically injured, further suggested that America may be abandoning civil discourse and turning dangerously divisive. It also made me long for a time not too long ago when politics involved a larger number of leaders who embodied grace and class.

John C. Danforth, who spent three terms in the U.S. Senate representing Missouri, exemplified such leaders.

In June – ironically less than a week before the D.C. shooting mentioned earlier – Danforth, a lawyer and ordained minister who also served as ambassador to the United Nations, was honored with the Churchill Medal of Leadership, an award bestowed on individuals who have demonstrated civility and extraordinary leadership.

In his historic 1946 visit to Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech, an address that heralded one of the 20th century’s most significant and enduring lessons for Americans: to remain steadfast in the face of adversity while staying true to our allies. Churchill reminded listeners that the true purpose of power involves creating peace. In fact, the formal title of

Churchill’s famous speech was “Sinews of Peace” – the phrase iron curtain later being informally incorporated into its nickname. In today’s America, sadly, another iron curtain, of intolerance, has descended, separating us from the truth – and from one another.

Storm clouds of division and mistrust nowadays obstruct our view of the “broad sunlit uplands” and vital alliances that Churchill described so famously in many wartime addresses.

Still, I remain hopeful about the future of America, a country I fell in love with even before ever setting foot on its soil – hopeful because the high road of the future (to borrow a phrase from Churchill) is paved with the contributions of principled leaders like Danforth.

Danforth believes that all citizens should heed the call of compromise and compassion, and he not only follows that calling but also lives it.

In this era of polarization and partisanship, running for office has become a zero-sum game in which candidates play exclusively to their ideological bases. I believe most Americans on both sides of the political aisle are tiring of extremism and long for a commitment to the common good. They innately understand that we as a country cannot sustain our

current trajectory and that these “united” states must be just that if we are to continue to thrive. Danforth’s life of civility, singular service and substance exemplifies what we desire as a nation today.

With increasing frequency, visitors to the National Churchill Museum in Fulton ask, “Why don’t we have more leaders like Winston Churchill?”

I suspect many Missourians also ask, “Why don’t we have more leaders like Jack Danforth who recognize the power of compromise and appreciate that disagreement does not equal disrespect?”

America, at this critical juncture in our nation, desperately needs more statesmen with Danforth’s sense of duty – a duty to truth, to one another and to history.

COMMUNICATION CONVERSATION

Short and Sweet

T

his proverbial quotation (from the character of Polonius in Hamlet) still holds true in current communication – whether communicating via an email, a text, a résumé, a cover letter or a spoken presentation. Being brief is better but harder to achieve than being loquacious, as it takes more thought and time to boil down information. Simply put: Less is more.

Last fall, a client of mine turned in a Master of Business Administration application essay that was 450 words too long. He explained, “Well, you are the ‘queen of cutting’” – furthermore asking if we could fix it. It was tough, but we made it a much more power-packed essay, simply 500 words shorter. Additionally, focusing on the main message at hand prepared him for interviews and corporate meetings to come. The main reason I continue this work is when I receive phone calls with clients screaming with joy – specific to this instance, when the client was admitted to the MBA program in question.

Here are some guidelines for achieving brevity:  Choose three main points you want to make – two are not enough, while four seem to be too many to

Brevity is the soul of wit.

– SHAKESPEARE remember, especially when orally conveying a point.

Additionally, three seems to be the natural human rhythm. Examples include red, white and blue; breakfast, lunch and dinner; and small, medium and large.  Explain each of your points using visual examples and positive points. If you can make us see your point, we are more likely to believe it. Also, remember, negativity is always a turnoff.  Focus on a 23-word statement. Studies have shown that quotations most often used in the media are 23 words or less. Why? Reporters can keep up with writing exactly what you say for 23 words, then there start to be gaps – ultimately becoming paraphrases,

By Janis Murray

not quotations. Also, 23 words spoken on camera take approximately 10 seconds or less, which constitutes a good sound bite.

So if I am the general manager of a new hotel on opening night, whatever a reporter or potential customer asks, I’d respond first with: “Our goal at the Paradise Resort is for each guest to have a perfect experience with beautiful rooms, excellent food and impeccable service.” Twenty-three words, three positive points, a visual and inclusion of the brand name.

Now the reporter or customer (or, as the case may be, potential employer) can follow up on one of these points, setting the stage for an explanation in greater detail – but still delivered as succinctly as possible.

Q&A with

DR. CARRIE COUGHLIN, PEDIATRIC DERMATOLOGIST

By Connie Mitchell As July comes to a close and summer nears its midpoint, don’t be lulled into thinking that you no longer have to be as vigilant with sun protection. To wrap up national Ultraviolet (UV) Safety Month, Ladue News spoke with Dr. Carrie Coughlin, a Washington University pediatric dermatologist with Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Most people know that too much sun exposure is dangerous, but is the sun more dangerous for children?

Sun exposure increases risk for skin damage in both children and adults. Many people have a large amount of their sun exposure as children, so protecting the skin in childhood is very important. Sunburns in both children and adults increase risk for skin cancer.

What should someone look for in sunscreen for children?

Sunscreens that are “physical blocks” with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide as active ingredients work as soon as they are applied. “Chemical blocks” that have ingredients such as avobenzone and oxybenzone need to absorb into the skin [and] require at least 20 minutes after application before they will work. I like physical blocks for children, so you can apply the lotion and it’s ready to protect their skin right away. The block doesn’t need to be specifically branded for children, though many that list they are for children and babies have zinc in them.

Is sunscreen enough, or do children need protective clothing and hats?

I love hats, sunglasses, sun shirts, sun shorts, skirts and pants. If children wear sun-protective clothing (rated with UPF [ultraviolet protection factor] scores), there is less exposed skin that needs sunscreen. They should have sunscreen with at least SPF [sun protection factor] 30 – I recommend SPF 30 to 50 – applied to skin not covered by clothing, reapplying every two hours if dry, or every 80 to 90 minutes if wet or sweaty.

If a child is under 6 months of age, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, sunscreen should be used sparingly, but it’s OK to use if needed.

Clothing, hats, umbrellas and other physical blocks to the sun are preferred in this age group. The sun is most intense from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so it’s best to be outside more before or after that time frame.

JULY 28, 2017 | LadueNews.com

The whole family should wear sunscreen regularly, reapply it when out for a while and wear sunprotective clothing.

If your child does get a sunburn, what should you do?

You should use supportive care, such as aloe vera gel or a soy cream to relieve symptoms. Cool compresses are also helpful. The American Academy

of Dermatology says that ointments with Vaseline should be avoided for acute sunburns because they can make the skin warmer. Sometimes, over-thecounter hydrocortisone cream can help if the skin is very inflamed. Leave blisters intact. And importantly, figure out why the sunburn occurred, and don’t let it happen again!

What about eyes? Are sunglasses important even for young children?

Sunglasses protect both eyes and eyelids from sun exposure. Since people can develop skin cancer on the eyelids, protecting that skin with sunglasses is very important.

What’s the most important thing people should know about sun protection for children?

The most important thing is to make protecting skin from the sun part of your routine. The whole family should wear sunscreen regularly, reapply it when out for a while and wear sun-protective clothing. If you instill good habits early, your children will be much more likely to make sun protection their default and have healthier skin with decreased risks for skin cancer.

Across numerous vocations and avocations alike, this Town and Country powerhouse emphasizes “universal humanity.”

laire Applewhite believes that every voice matters.

“Every voice deserves recognition, and every voice needs to be heard,” she says. An author, teacher, pianist, philanthropist and songwriter, Applewhite also puts her talents toward helping others through volunteering in the community. Standing at 5 feet 1 inch, the 61-year-old dynamo with bright red hair and green eyes embodies the cliché that “big things come in small packages.”

As a volunteer judge for The Big Read, a statewide Missouri writing competition, Applewhite identified a widespread deficit in basic language and communication

skills that prevented talented yet disadvantaged students from reaching the winner’s circle. “Despite a gripping voice, these students were disqualified in the first round,” she says. “I thought, ‘What if those students had mentors to provide the one-on-one attention they need to compete and win?’”

Always an advocate for the underserved, Applewhite launched Voices of Excellence at Loyola Academy middle school in St. Louis in 2011 to address the problem. The program challenges each student to compose and present a five-paragraph essay to a panel of judges. At least three winners are chosen from grades six through eight each year. “There’s no reason that these bright, enthusiastic students cannot

excel,” Applewhite says. The tutors make sure the boys understand any punctuation, grammar and slang corrections and are taught to use reference books to look up words. The way students organize their essays can be useful when applying to high schools and colleges, which also readily highlights inconsistencies in logic or arrangement of thoughts.

This past May, 12 young men from Loyola Academy presented their winning essays at the Missouri Athletic Club. As usual, Applewhite welcomed the students and their families. It’s one of Applewhite’s favorite events to attend “because the parents are so proud,” she says.

“One parent arrived in his Home Depot work uniform and told me, ‘I told my boss I needed an extra hour

Louis City Hospital Alumni newsletter.)

Writing and editing are passions Applewhite has pursued for almost all of her adult life. She is a 1973 graduate of Cor Jesu Academy and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Saint Louis University (and later an MBA in finance from the same institution). A past participant of the Summer Writers Institute at Washington University in St. Louis, she is a former board member of the Midwest chapter of the Mystery Writers of America and the Greater St. Louis Chapter of Sisters in Crime, as well as a current board member of the St. Louis Press Club and Ozark Writers League, and the former president of the Missouri Writers’ Guild. In addition to her published works, Applewhite is the acquisitions editor for Smoking Gun Publishing and Sunflower Press; in that position, she has helped 11 authors publish their work and realize their dreams.

Also an accomplished pianist, Applewhite required hand therapy for a time to continue enjoying this passion. Instead of traditional physical therapy, she reached out to the late Washington University professor Sona Haydon, “an artist in her own right,” according to Applewhite. “Sona worked with me for six months, and the therapy was a success,” she relates. “The intensity of Sona’s determination and work ethic could be intimidating, but she was an incredible teacher.” When Haydon passed away, Applewhite and her husband donated a new Steinway piano to Washington University. “I wanted to do something to honor the teacher who was such an inspiration for me.”

As a composer, Applewhite’s “A Serenade for Barbara” was the first song she wrote to promote ’Nam Noir, her series of mysteries. She composed promotional songs for subsequent written works, as well, including her books Soldier Man, Time and Why Should I? Her collection of songs resulted in an album titled Night Rain, which was recorded and produced in Los Angeles by California Sun Records. Just recently, she released Carry Me: Songs

of Inspiration and Hope. “Whether real or imagined, music makes feelings and words rich and clear,” she says of her work as a composer and songwriter.

Being an author, editor, composer, songwriter and advocate for child literacy is a lot to balance. In her personal life, Applewhite and her husband have made their home in Town and Country and have three adult children.

“I try to expose a universal humanity in my characters,” Applewhite says of her books, a sentiment that also applies to her larger philosophy of helping others. “People are more alike than they are different. We all want the same things, like good food, health care, a good education for our kids and a safe world. The homeless want the same things as the fortunate. The connection can be made. Be that person who makes that happen. To me, that is what it is all about.” claireapplewhite.com

today because my boy is getting an award.’” The winners each receive a trophy at the luncheon, and every participant wears a sport coat, dress shirt and tie provided by the St. Louis University High School Mothers’ Club.

Applewhite says that as a result of the program, many of the young men at Loyola Academy have been accepted into local private high schools, and most have gone on to college. “They now have confidence that they have built through Voices of Excellence,” she says. Applewhite has also written and published a Voices of Excellence textbook and is working on an online workbook for Voices of Excellence, which can be ordered from her website, claireapplewhite.com.

Now in its sixth year, Voices of Excellence is sponsored by the St. Louis Metropolitan Medical Society Alliance, among other organizations. In 2012, the organization presented Applewhite with the Member of the Year award for the development of the program.

For her volunteerism in educational enrichment, Applewhite was also recently honored as a 2017 Woman of Achievement.

Applewhite’s passion for teaching children the art of writing and storytelling comes from a personal passion; she herself is an awardwinning adult-fiction mystery writer and author of six novels. She says two of her books are autobiographical. “To an extent, you write what you know,” Applewhite says. Her first book, The Wrong Side of Memphis, was originally published in 2009 and is now in its second edition.

Applewhite is currently writing The Doctor’s Test, a sequel to her 2015 novel The Doctor’s Tale. Both novels center on events at the now-shuttered City Hospital in St. Louis at 14th Street and Lafayette Avenue (now the site of the Georgian Condominiums). Much of her inspiration for the books comes from her personal life experiences with her husband of 42 years, Dr. Thomas Applewhite, chair of the West County Radiological Group at Mercy Hospital. (She also serves as editor and publicity manager of the St.

rushed Red – the from-scratch, fast-casual sustainability-focused artisan chopped salad and pizza brand – continued to broaden its local horizons this March by opening an outpost in Chesterfield.

That outpost joins earlier St. Louis-area locations in Clayton, Kirkwood and Creve Coeur. Founded

by Chris LaRocca, Powell Kalish and the late Ralph Kalish, Crushed Red debuted in 2012 and began franchising in 2014.

“We’re so proud to call St. Louis our home base, and we look forward to expanding our Show-Me State roots in a tightknit community like Chesterfield,” noted a recent press release from LaRocca.

JULY 28, 2017 | LadueNews.com

Beyond its local outposts, Crushed Red has franchises in Denver; Columbia, Missouri; and Overland Park, Kansas, with an Edwardsville, Illinois, outpost planned to open this summer.

The 3,900-square-foot Chesterfield space seats approximately 112 guests in its dining room, with 40 more seats outside. The interior features the same rustic aesthetic as the other locations: butcher block tabletops, exposed brick, Mason-jar lighting, leather booths, a wine rack and maroon accents that echo the logo.

“Crushed Red is just kind of different from your typical fast-casual experience,” says Kalish. “We have real china, real glassware, flatware and linen napkins.

It’s an elevated experience with creative options –

By Mabel Suen everything from spiced pear and chopped sirloin steak salads to individual-sized pizzas and a great wine and beer selection.”

More than 10 signature salads are available in mini, regular and large sizes, and guests can also build their own. Each salad comes chopped to order with a double-bladed mezzaluna. Guests can choose from such options as chipotle barbecue chicken-topped greens and the Tunapalooza, with seared ahi tuna, green beans, Kalamata olives, a hard-boiled egg, tomato, roasted potatoes, goat cheese and mixed greens.

Hand-stretched pizzas made with whole-grain crust and baked in only 90 seconds include combinations such as the five-cheese, the margherita and the

Additional offerings include a selection of rotating soups and shareable plates.

‌Nobody loves Mamma Mia! more than St. Louis and The Fabulous Fox Theatre, which has hosted the musical’s touring company a record nine times since the North American tour debuted in 2002.

This weekend, fittingly, The Fox again hosts the touring company of the long-running hit, which features the music of the Swedish pop quartet ABBA, who enjoyed their heyday in the 1970s and early ’80s.

Originally produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus – two members of ABBA, who recorded in English – Mamma Mia! ranks as the most successful jukebox musical in history. It opened in London’s West End in 1999 and continues to run there 18 years later, having moved to two other theaters since its opening at the Prince Edward Theatre.

The eighth-longest-running show in Broadway history, its time there spanned 2001 to 2015. It closed on Sept. 12, 2015, after 5,773 performances.

Producer Judy Craymer conceived the idea for Mamma Mia! after hearing the music Andersson and Ulvaeus composed for the 1983 musical Chess, which included lyrics by Tim Rice, collaborator with Andrew Lloyd Webber on Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Evita.

Craymer commissioned Catherine Johnson to write the book for Mamma Mia! and co-produced the West End production with Richard East and Ulvaeus for Littlestar Services Ltd. in association with Universal.

Phyllida Lloyd directed the two-act show, which features about two dozen songs by ABBA that originally were hits during the quartet’s initial popularity.

Anthony Van Laast, the original choreographer, conceived the musical’s inspired numbers, which include a scene with a male chorus performing in scuba gear and a rousing finale in which the entire cast performs “Mamma Mia,” “Dancing Queen” and “Waterloo” (that last an ABBA hit that’s not in the show itself but that numbers among the quartet’s biggest singles).

The musical focuses on a single mother named Donna, a tavern owner/operator on a Greek island whose life turns topsy-turvy when her 20-year-old daughter reads her mother’s old diary and decides to invite the three men who have fathered her to her impending wedding.

Naturally, all three attend: Bill, the wandering photojournalist from Australia; Harry, the buttoneddown banker from England; and American architect Sam. When Donna’s friends and former band members Tanya and Rosie arrive for the ceremony, Donna and her gal pals rekindle old friendships, and emotions also predictably result from the unexpected visit of Donna’s ex-lovers, one of whom she isn’t especially keen to see again. Although lighthearted and far-fetched, Mamma

Mia! works so well because of Johnson’s book, which allows Andersson and Ulvaeus to integrate ABBA’s pop tunes into scenes where they actually make sense, at least enough to satisfy audiences.

Those audiences have been substantial. Since the musical debuted in London in 1999, Mamma Mia! has been seen by more than 60 million people worldwide in 16 different languages, spanning 50 productions, including 81 foreign cities in 37 countries. The musical ran for more than five years in Toronto and for nearly six in Las Vegas – when it closed in 2009, the longest-running musical from the West End or Broadway to play Sin City.

Betsy Padamonsky portrays Donna for these final performances. Lizzie Markson plays her daughter, Sophie; Dustin Harris Smith, Sophie’s fiancé, Sky. Tanya and Rosie are portrayed by Cashelle Butler and Sarah Smith, respectively, while old flames Sam, Harry and Bill are played by Shai Yammanee, Andrew Tebo and Marc Cornes, in that order.

Performances for the touring company’s final stop will take place at The Fox at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 28; 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 29; and 1 and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 30. Ticket prices run from $39 to $115.

Mamma Mia! How can I forget you?

The Wine Life

WHAT I AM DRINKING NOW… 2013 JORDAN VINEYARD & WINERY, RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY – SONOMA, CALIFORNIA Grape: 100 percent chardonnay Owners/Winemaker: Tom and Sally Jordan/Rob Davis Aged: 100 percent French oak, 40 percent new oak (six months) Approximate Retail Price: $38 TASTING NOTES: Color: Golden straw Aroma: Green apple, Meyer lemon, tropical fruits and slight butterscotch with a wet stone minerality Taste: A light beginning on the palate with hints of lime zest and pineapple, giving way to a medium mouthfeel of a creamy texture and baking spices; finishing long and pleasant with balanced acidity

S

ince their marriage in 1959, Tom and Sally Jordan have shared a passion for fine food and wine, with a dream to one day open their own winery.

Self-proclaimed Francophiles, they traveled extensively in search of the best restaurants and wines, preferring French and usually drinking only Bordeaux.

In that light, they naturally scoffed at a San Francisco sommelier’s recommendation (in 1971) to try a California cab, specifically Beaulieu Vineyard’s 1966 Georges De Latour. The sommelier, though, promised the Jordans they wouldn’t have to pay for it if they didn’t like it – and then, with their consent, uncorked the bottle. The experience left the couple humbled, even speechless, before the quality and potential of California wine. More important, it also

alerted them to where they could make their dream a reality.

By 1972, the Jordans had acquired land in California’s Alexander Valley, signing the deed the day their son, John, was born.

They uprooted all the extant prune-related growth and planted more than 200 acres of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. They also began construction on a grand château to house both the winery proper and a place for entertaining guests and visitors, with exquisite hospitality as the focus.

In 1974, they hired enologist André Tchelistcheff (nicknamed “the dean of American winemakers”) to consult on everything from equipment to barrel selection. Tchelistcheff, in turn, hired young winemaker Rob Davis to make the 1976 inaugural vintage, and Davis remains to this day the lead winemaker at Jordan Vineyard & Winery.

The couple first planted chardonnay on their estate in 1977, with the first harvest in 1979. By 1990, though, they began sourcing from Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley American Viticultural Area, realizing its cool climate potential, and by 2000, Jordan chardonnay had completely transitioned to the Russian River Valley appellation.

In keeping with the Jordans’ French-oriented tendencies, the chardonnay reflects a more Burgundian style. The discernible presence of oak doesn’t dominate the flavor, instead providing weight and texture to the wine while leaving plentiful room for fruit and minerality to show through – thereby creating a pleasantly balanced drinking experience.

Jordan Vineyard & Winery’s first major accolade came a mere three years after its

IMMEDIATE OPENING

By Stanley Browne

In keeping with the Jordans’ French-oriented tendencies, the chardonnay reflects a more Burgundian style. debut, when an industry authority named its 1979 cab “Best Cabernet in America” – making it one of the most sought-after wineries in the country.

By 2005, John Jordan took over as CEO; he maintains his parents’ vision of making great wine and pairing it with great food, in a memorable setting with spectacular hospitality. He also brought the winery into the new century by making it more eco-friendly through sustainability and improved technology.

Food Pairings: Enjoy this chardonnay with lobster, creamy pastas, grilled fish or chicken, and light, citrusy salads.

A mAgiSteriAl ClAyton Art exhibition ShowCASeS viStAS of the Show-me StAte. St. Charless

A

nonpareil Missouri panorama goes on display Fri., July 28, in an exhibition at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild in Clayton.

That exhibition, “Painting Missouri: The Counties en Plein Air,” shares its title with a lush hardcover volume from writer Karen Glines and oil painter Billyo O’Donnell. It runs through Sept. 2 and accompanies a revised fourth printing of Painting Missouri.

Kimberley Reynolds’ Illustrated Dictionary of Art Terms defines the French phrase plein air, in part, as “a term for a painting executed in the open air in front of the subject.” That phrase describes precisely what O’Donnell (whose works also hang in Ladue’s Kodner Gallery) did, limning all 114 counties of the Show-Me State, as well as the independent municipality of St. Louis. The Clayton exhibition, a tour de force, includes all 115 paintings.

Glines relates that she and O’Donnell first teamed on a turn-of-the-millennium project involving Missouri’s Katy Trail, saying, “Billyo and I worked well together, and we discussed the possibility of highlighting the beauty in our state by collaborating on a book …” That book became Painting Missouri.

Calling Glines’ work ethic on the earlier project “impeccable” and crediting her with the afflatus for Painting Missouri, O’Donnell says, “We first started looking at how we would tackle a statewide book by what to focus on – the rivers, Century Farms, state parks, counties and so forth.”

The monumental nature of the book, which took seven years to craft, soon dawned on the duo – although it did have its graces.

“I love meeting people, so traveling to the small rustic towns showered me with the local color I needed to return home and become reenergized to write late into the night,” Glines says. “A productive working day went from 8 a.m. until midnight. …

“In the past, an active lifestyle kept me on the major highways. Painting Missouri and Billyo’s influence became the catalyst to traverse the entrancing country roads, meet kind people and experience the varying cultures within Missouri that will forever remain close to my heart.”

O’Donnell himself makes a rueful confession. “I look back and now think I was crazy to tackle this project,” he says. Quickly feeling overwhelmed, O’Donnell used 30-inch-square maps to jot county-by-county notes; he also informally toured every county seeking just the right subject.

“Karen and I started to see three things that stood out with each county: the people who settled an area, historical locations, and natural or geological features of a place, …” he continues. “I usually did at least three paintings of each county.”

Among inspirations, Glines mentions famed 20th-century representational painter Norman Rockwell. His narrative paintings, she notes, “left a very strong impression ever since I visited his museum and met some of the models over the years – I love the stories attached. Similarly, connecting the history, people, environment and natural settings in Missouri seemed to make this project glide along beautifully. The impact of the Impressionists, such as Monet at the Art Institute of Chicago, has added

62

july 28, 2017 | LadueNews.com

even more to my appreciating Billyo’s beautiful art.”

O’Donnell, meanwhile, cites an arcane earlier volume: “The Great River: Poems and Pictures by Frederick Oakes Sylvester, an artist and a teacher at Principia College in Elsah, Illinois. … The book was created solely out of his love of the Mississippi River.”

As the subject that posed the greatest challenge, both Glines and O’Donnell name St. Louis proper because of their mutual familiarity with it; Glines ranks as a native, and O’Donnell, over time, has painted countless images of the municipality.

Glines mentions a second challenging subject, Worth County, the penultimate subject for the pair alphabetically, by the time of whose arrival on the schedule an understandable degree of fatigue also had arrived: “As soon as I learned it was the home of big-band leader Glen Miller, the words flowed in the same manner as the memories of my father’s love of big-band music filling our home with Miller’s serenades.”

The two reminisce in a similar fashion on the book’s most affecting subjects. Glines mentions numerous locations before naming Dent County, especially its White River Trace Conservation Area, a segment of the infamous Trail of Tears. “Visiting, I felt the spirits of the Cherokee crossing the serene area – a peaceful setting with an unsettling past – and wondered about the Indian Removal Act in 1830,” she says.

O’Donnell, for his part, mentions a historic community roughly an hour’s drive south of the metro area: Ste. Genevieve County.

“I had been to the region to paint many times, but I had my mind made up that I wanted to focus on the [Dr. Benjamin & Emlie] ‘Mammy’ Shaw House,” he says. “It was the headquarters for the [local] art colony. Many of the artists of the colony stayed there. They showed their art there, discussed art, taught workshops. These artists have had a powerful impact on portraying Missouri during their time as a Modernist art colony, giving us as Missourians a great gift of a unique look at our state.”

Glines and O’Donnell otherwise reflect on the arrival of the first edition – which the University of Missouri Press published in 2008 and then reissued twice – and the new edition.

“It felt as though I was holding a new baby after a very long pregnancy,” Glines says.

“Billyo and I are thrilled with the new, revised fourth printing. The publisher, [Helena, Montana’s] Farcountry Press, has been amazing. We’ve added a slightly brighter cover, with the image also imprinted on the hardback book, and an index.”

Her partner in Painting Missouri and the St. Louis Artists’ Guild exhibition sounds similarly awestruck.

“Simply put, I’m humbled every time I hold the book,” O’Donnell says. “This book connects deeply with the people of Missouri, and I’m so very proud of it. People have driven across the state just to see the paintings a second time at another venue.”

he 70s staged a comeback in the past couple of years – but Mellow Mushroom knew this decade’s influence would never end. When it launched back in the day, the brainchildren behind the classic Southern pizza embraced the hippy culture and turned it into a restaurant chain to perpetuate that mellow state of mind.

“We opened July 25 of last year and the whole restaurant is like an artistic piece, from the exterior design to the interior,” co-owner John Burke says. “We have statues of different themed characters, like ‘The Wizard’ who is carved from wood and sits in the center of our restaurant. Around each corner, there’s something unique and interesting.”

Those original characters represent the founders. Each comes with their own name and personality attached, from Mel O. Mushroom, who searches for “the ultimate groove,” to Wizard, who boasts musical talent on a bass guitar. “A large metal sculpture of Mel, holding a mug of beer and a slice of pizza, welcomes everyone into the courtyard,” Burke describes. These larger-than-life artworks create an ambiance that is both eclectic and laidback.

Of course, the main draw is the delectable stone-

baked pizza pie. “We have specialty pizzas in a handtossed style – our most popular – with gluten and allergen-free items available,” Burke says. “The House is our deluxe and has everything on it. The Maui

Wowie is pesto-based, with pineapple, chicken, bacon and banana peppers. One of our top-selling items is our pretzel bites, made from the signature pizza dough and cut into bite-sized pieces; then, served with a handmade beer cheese sauce.”

Using a flavorful spring water crust, the pie creations at Mellow Mushroom include all high-quality and fresh ingredients. “It’s a fun restaurant with great, quality food,” Burke shares. “The restaurant itself, while upscale, is certainly approachable. The outdoor beer garden, with bocce courts, is a great setting for a date or night out with the family. We have a lot of local breweries showcase their beer, and generally try to pair the weekly samplings with live music in our courtyard, with an outdoor bar.”

The Atlanta-based founders succeeded at marrying two great passions for excellent food and enjoyable art. “Their passion was truly creating the best pizza they possibly could,” Burke explains. “As they became successful at making great pizza, their love of art became possible to pursue. Each location is unique – no two stores have anything similar in structure or design. Here, we used local artists to decorate and provide our décor. We’ve created a funky, artistic vibe.” The founders grew a decade of inspiration into a lifetime of success.
